Matrix, a young captain and pilot in the British royal air force who has been through so much goes flying for the last time on earth before ending on the brink of death and entering a new world only a sought few believe to exist

Matrix, Captain Matrix, that's all he's known as, nobody knows his real name, for its hidden by his past life so well that even he tends to forget,

19 years old, 19 years old and yet he's accomplished so much, but experienced things that nobody should go through at such a young age.

He became a pilot for the royal air force, performed well and made a reputation, made a few friends but was an outcast, a freak to most all because of what he was.

That didn't phase him, none of it, but what did though was the loss of the remaining family he could ever hold close to him.

Now, now he takes flight for the last time on earth, before approaching the brink of death and entering a new world, a world he could only ever think of being in his own dreams.

But what could happen to him here, here in this new world?

Who will he meet?

Will his life change for the better?

Or will he crash and burn again, just like before......

On hiatus until I find the time, effort and self esteem to re-write the entire story.

~~Princess Celestia perspective~~

ponyville, possibly my favourite town in the whole of Equestria to visit anytime of the year, today was as normality could get, my beautiful sun is shining high in the sky, bathing the small town with its warm, caressing glow, the inhabitants here were peaceful and opening, especially after the Zecora incident, today me a my dearest sister Luna are taking a royal visit to the town, mainly to get Luna of the castle, for once.

we had already landed in the town center where we were greeted always by a big fanfare, flowers and gifts, being a ruler of a country may come with its perks, but sometimes it does become all a bit too much, as me and my sister walked down the main street of the market area whilst the stall owners let us sample their wares, my and sister shared our own thought through our telepathic link

"Isn't ponyville just wonderful around this time sister" I asked her

"Yes, thou could say that" she half-heartedly answered

"What is the matter dear sister that would revolve you to speak in the old ways?"

"sigh, it’s just that Equestria is not as lively as it used to be, it feels peaceful yes, but there not much excitement as I would have expected, being away for a thousand years can simply bore one's mind, and it’s not just that Tia"

"Nightmare moons thoughts again"

"...............yes..........."

"Sigh............." just as I was about to answer I felt a movement in the magical balance of the world strong, one I felt and remember from around ten minutes  ago on our arrival here, a specific movement from a different realm

"Tia....did you feel something, in the magical balance? is that why you were mental meditation upon our journey here"

"Yes sister, I did, it’s getting stronger, and I know just what it is and for your information i'll have you know  was...sleeping"

"thou really thinks so...right.... any who would thou care to indulge us on what said problem is?"

"You shall see dear sister, rather soon I might say, but first let’s make way to the center of town, it time for out speeches"

"Sigh........yes Tia"

"Lighten up....lulu"

"I thought you never she you would speak of that again!"

"you did, I didn't" with that final comment I closed the link and we both moved on wards to the town center where a stage had already been set up, me a Luna walked behind said stage with a the personal guards watching our backs as always, surprisingly the elements of harmony where there including my most prized student

"Princess!" exclaimed twilight as she bounded up to me

"Twilight my dear student, what a pleasant surprise" I answered her giddiness with a friendly muzzle

"You know I would never miss a chance to be with my mentor!"

"I know my favorite little bookworm" I answered jokingly

"And hello to you to girls" they all gave me their own respective greetings as the mayor popped her head round the corner

"Excuse me princes but it's time for your speech"

"Thank you mayor mare, come along sister"

So I, my sister and the elements made our way onto the stage and we were applauded by the rather large crowd

"always the ecstatic ones" I thought to myself whilst keeping my most calming smile on, Luna had her smile as well as the elements but I could tell my sisters was slightly forced, I raised my hoof to speech and crowd almost instantly quietened down, once there was silence I began my speech

"Ahem, thank you all my little ponies, both me and my sister appreciate all your work you've done, not just for but for the town and for yourselves......"

At that moment the magical level became so string I stopped speaking as i had to shut my eyes and raise a hoof to my throbbing head

"Princes is everything....." twilight didn't get to finish her sentence as a giant flash of light appeared above the town center accompanied by a strange snapping accompanied by a whirring noise

(A/N imagine the noise of a slip space jump/rupture from Halo, only smaller.. like a lot smaller)

I had to cover my eyes with a hoof from the brightness but once it disappeared, the whole town, the elements and my sister was watching a fairly large metallic like object that barely resembled a bird with smoke coming from its rear end, fly disturbingly close to the town, almost like it was crashing.....wait...

"It’s him, didn't expect that kind of entrance" I whispered to myself

"Sister, is this the disturbance you felt?"

"Disturbance?" questioned twilight

We were interrupted by a sound of metal hitting earth then almost immediately after a small stack of smoke started rising from where the object had crashed

"Guard" I called

"Yes you're highness"

“Have the mayor keep the town at ease whilst me the elements and my sister inspect the objects crash site"

"It shall be done" he bowed then he went on his way

"Ok my little ponies, let’s find out who this new visitor is" I spoke as my little group made way towards the crash site

~~Matrix perspective~~

Darkness, excruciating pain, numbness, deafness, the pain I’m feeling right now is nothing compared to what I have ever felt before but those experiences could still count, my brain feels clouded, dazed even but I’m thankful my helmet kept me alive or at least retained my heads normal shape

I try to open my eyes but they are clamped shut, that’s when I feel something isn't right, possession of my limbs slowly creep back into my grasp, my head feels damp as well as somewhere in my left leg, I gain enough strength to at least lift one of my arms, I run my hand against my helmet, it seems intact, but when I move my hand lower to my neck I feel some sort of fluid running down it as well as that I could taste it in the corner of my mouth, I must have hit my head pretty hard on impact, slowly I attempt to open my eyes again and this time they do but almost instantly they are flooded by brightness.

Unnatural brightness, my HUD visor not doing much to blank out the suns glare

my vision drifts towards my gloved hand and as I was almost correct before, It was covered in blood, my blood, I tried to shift my body and was shocked with excruciating pain, mainly in lower my left leg, I lazily looked down at my legs and I found the problem, a shard of metal was sticking out of my  lower leg near the knee, surely it has pierced right through the bone from the force of the impact meaning that the plane had defiantly taken a fair amount of damage, as I tried to think of what to do next my hand falls upon the canopy release button

Get out of this coffin!

my mind was screaming at me, and so my hand pushed the button with what little will power I had and the canopy slowly popped open to my luck, but it almost jammed half way from open, I peered out of the craft and saw that I was right next to ground level, looks like I must have come in to hard and skidded quite a bit embedding myself into the dirt, just then as if on cue my hearing came back to me but at a price, my vision started to turn blurry, as well as I could feel more blood run down my face and out the corner of my mouth,

Manning up and ignoring the pain, I slowly pulled myself up and out of the wreck, and landed on the soft earth being careful not to injure myself further, I twisted my head round to see the damage with whatever sight I had left, and to my surprise the plane seemed pretty much intact, the jet had landed on a slope of a small hill which may have helped but still not a lot, I fumbled with the helmet straps and pulled of the thing, letting it roll to one side exposing myself to the gentle breeze and clear skies.

“well I’m sure as hell not in England anymore” I croaked as I slowly pushed myself along but my arms gave up on me as the pain became near unbearable, I just lay there waiting for something to happen, letting my thought’s take over

“What was that daydream, was it real? Could I really be where I think I am?” my train of thought was interrupted by voices in the distance, I tilted my head back slowly to see what was coming, but my sight kept getting worse and worse, from what little vision I had left I could make out possibly eight or so distinct shapes, to being taller than the other six, as they got closer they resulted to become nothing more than brightly colored blobs as my vision all but went, then it all went black and I was out like a light,

~~perspective 3rd person~~

“Sister look!” the alicorn of the night proclaimed with an extended hoof towards the foreign creature lying on the ground on its back, immediately the group quickly moved towards the prone subject and rather cautiously gathered round it, taking in the appearance of the foreign visitor.

“Wow…….what is it” asked pinkie

“I don’t know?” answered twilight, that’s when fluttershy noticed it head and leg

“Oh my, its injured badly, it needs medical attention urgently!” she gasped as the examined its injuries

“We can’t take it to the hospital it freak out everypony there, we could move it to my home and we could get a doctor for it there” suggested twilight

“Good quick thinking my student, I shall teleport you there and have a doctor come over a some as possible” and with that the princess teleported all of them into twilight's house

~~twilight's basement, half an hour later~~

“subject is measured 6 ft zero inches, is bipedal, dark brown mane no tail, dark blue/turquoise eyes, has claw like appendages on the ends of its fore arms and legs, from our magical scans its skeletal structure it shaped differently but the same bones apply in some places to ponies, its organs are the same also, its teeth are no different from equine except for the appearance of canines, possibly carnivore but also a vegetarian”

The doctor looked over the clipboard again and spoke out loud to the few that were present before clearing his throat

“The subject wears clothing, possibly from the fact it has no fur, as for the injuries, the lower left leg was impaled by a shard of metal just below the below the knee joint, this effectively has been removed and the subject should be back into walking condition in the next few days depending on healing speed and acceptance of healing magic, the head suffered only minor injuries, two to three small cuts against its forehead but should heal just fine, the helmet it wore saved it from further damage, from our magic scans again it seems this creature hosts no natural supply of magic we can detect although it brain activity shows that it has much intelligence”

“Thank you doctor that will all, you may return to your duties at the hospital”

“Yes princess” the doctor left the basement of the library that had been turned into a makeshift operating theater, leaving the three remaining ponies’ Celestia, Luna and twilight.

“This is such a fascinating creature princess! I can’t wait to study and learn from it!” the young unicorn squealed

“Just think of all the knowledge it holds and can teach us”

“ Hmm yes your right my student, but first ‘he’ must settle down first, especially after the trauma he’s been through”

“What do you mean by that dear sister?” questioned a puzzled looking Luna

“Yeah princess, what do you mean?”

“I’m sure he will tell you in time, but for now let him rest, he needs it, for now I suggest you get back to your friends dear twilight whilst me and my sister go and tend to see how the mayor is holding up about this whole ordeal”

“Okay princess” said twilight as she picked up the clipboard left by the doctor as all three filed out of the basement upstairs leaving the human to rest, little did they know the human himself was struggling in his unconsciousness.

~~matrix perspective~~

Where I am right now, I have no idea, I’m standing in a vast empty void almost the same as that daydream earlier, I still get that feeling of tranquility but there something else as well that’s unfamiliar, I feel like I’m being watched, that there’s someone or something creeping up on me, I cannot tell but whatever it was, I ran for it, I ran like hell in the opposite directing from when it came but the void seemed endless, no matter how fast i ran i managed to catch up with me, i tripped and fell over, i turned to whatever it was and held my arms up in  front of me as the world went white

~~one hour later, 3rd person~~

“Well girls I better go check and see if our guest had made any progress in waking up” spoke twilight as she put down her empty mug of tea

“you sure about that egghead, for all we know it could be dangerous, even the doctor said it could be carni….carnivor…..gah whatever he said that word was!” exclaimed the over exaggerating Pegasus

“Rainbow does have ah point t’ere sugar cube”

“Thank girls but I’m pretty sure that whatever it is, it’s harmless” spoke the bookworm as she walked up to the basement door, entered then shut it behind her, quietly as she could she trotted down the stairs and moved up to the monitoring equipment that has been hooked up to the creature, she turned away to face the desk and look over some, papers unaware that the thing was waking up

~~in twilight's basement~~

Matrix’s eyes slowly opened, letting the light fill them at reasonable levels that wouldn't blind him, once he’d gotten used to the brightness despite his vision only slightly blurred but that didn't last long, he lifted his head up of the table he seemed to be lying on……….wait how was he lying on a table in the first place, that would come later, he lowered his head back down and tried to get a feel for his body.

luckily albeit slowly, control of his body came back into his grasp, he flexed his fingers and toes and slowly shifted his arms and legs to rid of the numbness, then carefully he sat himself up, he felt a tug on his chest; he looked down and saw the culprit some wires were attached to his chest, he a small amount of effort he yanked them of and then pondered where in the hell was he?

“Am in some special hospital room or something?”

He looked around the room to his left, some weird-ass looking machine that looked like it came from the seventies movies, but what threw him of was the surrounding, the walls were made of what appeared to be oak wood or some other type, the where one or two windows near the ceiling, probably a basement, just then his head throbbed from trying to process this new information, he moved a hand to his forehead and was surprised to find damp bandages wrapped around it, then he remembered his leg, looking down on the limb, he saw that it was bandaged too, Completely injury free, and the best thing………..no pain!

“what the………” was all he could say as he turned to other way and spotted a familiar purple…….unicorn, starring straight at him with curiosity and fear, so both of their natural instincts came into play, and that meant screaming

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

“………………………………….”

“………………………………….”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

After that final outburst, matrix lost his balance from sitting at an awkward angle fall of the makeshift gurney, slamming his wounded head and leg on the floor, then good o'l pain visited again

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA’HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, MOTHER OF FUUUUUUU” He never got to finish the sentence as the pain became too much for him to use his voice as pain filled tears started falling as he clutched his leg in agony, twilight on the other hand or hoof………had backed up on the other side of the room and was rapidly hyperventilating, she he just been startled by this new creature being awake all of a sudden and she had reacted in a way that would have reduced her to a mumbling foal, that is if she was one.

Then when she heard the pain filled cries coming the strange being, her brain switched on properly, she looked towards ‘him’ and saw that he was in a great deal of pain, her mind clicking into action that she must help him so she moved closer to him although slowly as not to surprise him any further, mat on the other hand looked up from his wounds to see her walking up to him, he instantly crawled away from her against the wall ignoring the pain emanating from his body, but still she moved closer

“Stay, back, you’re not real!” he exclaimed, twilight was inevitably shocked at this, he just spoke plain equestrian, he spoke there language, then when she processed what he actually said, her mind just went ‘wait, what?’

“How are you real, how is any of this real!” he spoke but he couldn't continue as his little crawling stunt caught up with him and now his leg was in total agony, but then all along his leg he felt something new, the pain instantly went away and was replaced by a tingly sensation that was almost relaxing, he looked up and noticed the ponies horn was alight with a pinkish hue as was his leg

“What did you just do?” he asked instantly his own brain still trying to confirm that this was indeed real

“I noticed you we’re in pain so I simply put a little magic spell on you to help ease the pain, it is working am I correct she stated with a tilt of her head, he nodded

“So this is real, I’m really here, that means…………..holy crap on a silver platter, I’m actually in Equestria, and I’m talking to the one and only twilight sparkle, hang on they have no idea who I am, better start acting like I don’t know them, god that could be bad”

“So where the hell in all that is holy am I” he asked her

“You’re in Equestria, on the planet Equis, why you sound as if you've never been here before?”

“That’s because I’m not even from this planet”

“………..hahahaha, that’s not even possible”

“I know it seems impossible and on my world it’s pretty much impossible to travel between worlds as well but by some miracle

I’m here” he honestly couldn't remember how he was even alive for that matter in all honesty he this was all a big mind fuck for him, as for that small talk with the princess in that dream state now it was completely absent from his memories

“I’m sorry, I still trying to rack my head around all this crap” she flinched at his use of language but pressed on what she going to say

“This is all awkward for me too, meeting a completely new species, a species from a new world that is” she chuckled and so did he, that’s when she noticed his sharp teeth again and slightly shuddered, he caught onto this asked her

“Erm you ok there?”

“Oh I’m sorry it’s just that we've noticed that have those sharp canines, you’re not a……….not a carnivore…………are you?” he froze at this question completely unsure of how to actually  answer it without making her freak the fuck out, he thought for a second be replying

“erm……..yes I am, but I’m also a herbivore so I do eat veggies and fruits, as for meat I don’t eat ponies or anything else that has sentient knowledge, where I’m from its frowned upon to do so, so yeah I’m not gonna hurt you guys er ponies if that’s what you’re asking”

Twilight took a few seconds to take this in and apprehend what he just said, a small smile full of relief made its way across her face and she stepped forward bit more and held out her hoof to him

“I forgot to introduce myself, my name is twilight sparkle, personal protegee of princess Celestia and who or what are you?”

“wow, i'm literally trying so hard right now to keep my inner fan boy in, but they don’t know who or what I am and surely they won’t be expecting that I know who they are, better start acting inconspicuous”

“Pleasure to meet you twilight sparkle, my names matrix, human and top ace pilot”

“Human, I wonder where I've heard that word human before, doubt I would have any books about you’re kind”

“Heh, no need to worry, I can tell you all about us at a later date, depending if I’m staying here long enough”

Matrix suddenly shivered and held his arms together, that’s when he noticed this whole time he wasn't wearing any clothes…………except his boxers so his dignity was still somewhat intact

“Where, are my clothes?”

“Over there, would like me to get them”

“If you would please” he said through a shiver as twilight floated them over and he started putting on his clothes

“Erm miss twilight, where is my flight suit and helmet?”

"pardon?"

"the other clothing i 'was' wearing"

“Oh there just over there, you may want to get that ‘flight suit’ you said repaired, but don’t worry my good friends rarity works wonders with cloths”

“Don’t I know it” he thought as he tried to stand, only to fall on his ass

“Ow”

“Here let me help, try standing up again” he did so but didn't fall over again, that’s when he saw twilight's horn glowing with a

pink aura as it also enveloped him

“Thanks”

“You’re welcome”

“Well, what should we do now miss sparkle?”

“How about I traduce you to my friends, but be warned”

“Erm why?”

“You’ll understand when you meet them”

“Oooooooooooookay” and with the help of twilight he slowly managed to walk to the bottom of the stairs, when he was ready he ascended up with minor difficulty, one they reached the door twilight asked him to wait there whilst she went into the room, he waited for a few minutes before he heard twilight call for him, he grabbed the door handle and slightly ducked under the door frame and walked into the light of the library's

painful introductions - re-write complete

~~3rd person perspective~~

"erm hi"

Matrix just stood there looking like a major twat, the five mares on the other hand were just sitting there, their mouths hanging wide open in complete shock staring right at me not saying a word, he gingerly moved his hand up to back on his neck, but for some reason he had the shittest luck in the world, oh and pain seems to love him, what happened was rainbow seemed to have thought that he was some sort of threat, nothing wrong with her personality it seems, but when she saw him raise his arm, she thought he was going for a weapon, so what did she do, simple enough

she tackled him

but not in the reaction she expected to get, unluckily he fell down back through the doorway and down the stairs, twisting his bad leg slightly, drawing huge amounts of pain, when he came to a stop at the bottom he let out a loud scram of pain

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWW MOTHER OF!......" he couldn't finish his sentence as the pain became unbearable as he cupped one hand over his knee and the over his back a, back upstairs however,

"MATRIX!" screeched twilight as she ran down the stairs, surprisingly the other four ran down with her, rainbow just stood at the top of the stairs taking in everything that had just happened

 "rainbow dash why did you do that! you've hurt him! oh Celestia, rarity help me lift him onto the table"

twilight spoke with worry and dread in her voice as she and rarity floated him onto the table as he clutched his leg, the others had completely forgotten of the strange new creature but were eager to help twilight as she cast a more powerful spell on him than she did a few moments ago and slowly he started to calm down.

 She then turned to the desk behind her and floated over some metal splints and straps the doctor had left in case the bones hadn't settled and began placing them onto his whole leg keeping it straight, fearing that hit short tumble had injured him further, when she finally finished she turned around and shouted to rainbow who had slowly moved into the basement

"rainbow dash! why in Equestria did you do that, he did nothing!" rainbows lips began to tremble

"I.....I don't know, he just looked really suspicious and...........odd! and when he reached...arm behind his head, i thought he had some sort thing behind his back, so i just....."

"just, WHAT! rainbow, you tackled him, hurt him, you sent him down the stairs and hurt him more than he already was! he did nothing at all, he barley said two words two you, this is just like the Zecora and nightmare night incidents all over again, you acted before you thought about it properly!" twilight exclaimed, rainbow just held her head low in defeat on the brink of crying, that was until a voice called out.

"twilight, twilight, don't get pissed at her, its all right, i'm fine see" the human managed to croak out from having the wind slightly knocked out him

'huh merely a day and already making friends, such a caring world this place this is' he thought whilst smirking

"alright? fine? she tackled you down the stairs!" she looked at him like he was mad in the head

"she did what anyone would do who thought their friends were in danger, she may have acted out of hand but she did it for a reason, and to be honest i probably would have done the same if i was in her shoes.. er i mean hooves and that is loyalty at its purest" he groaned as he rubbed his burning back from the marks under his shirt that resided there and as he also tried to sit up.

"oh please don't get up, you need rest after a fall like that" begged fluttershy, her mother like instincts coming in to play at his attempt of sitting up.

"rest is for the weary" he groaned "and besides sometimes you gotta run, before you can walk" he said with a smirk as he took a small step forward and with the slight aid of the splint that was on his leg he managed to make over towards twilight and rainbow, whilst making himself look like an absolute idiot, yet again.......

"as much as i would like to get to know you all and resolve this whole thing, i would first rather get out of this musky basement, no offense twilight" he said as he made his way towards the stairs he just fell down, attempted to get up the first step and nearly fall over again but was caught by twilight and rarity

"thanks" he said as he made his way up the dreaded stairs, for the second time in less the three minutes, they eventually made it into the library's main room and he sat down on the sofa whilst the the girls sat around him, but rainbow decided to sit the furthest away from him by sitting in the opposite end of the room with her back to him, the burning in his back was getting ever so slightly more intense as the minutes wore on

"so Mr Matrix" began twilight as she floated over a quill and a notepad

"just Matrix will do please, not really keen on formalities" he smiled

"ok then 'Matrix' i would like to introduce to my friends, this is rarity our towns fashionista, this is pinkie our local go to party  pony, this is applejack, she owns sweet apple acres with her brother Big Macintosh, and this is........fluttershy our local animal whisperer" she said with smile whilst fluttershy has subdued to her shyness and was hiding behind rarity's seat

"and i believe you've already met rainbow dash"

'not in the way i would have liked to' he thought

"well it a pleasure to meet you all and fluttershy please come on out, i don't bite" he reassured them all, she seemed to lighten up a little at this and coming out from behind the chair

"begin yur pardon ther mister, but can i jus ask, jus what in the hay are ye? a'h never seen anything like ye" questioned the orange mare

"well to put it simply, i'm known as a human or as we scientifically put it a homo sapien"

"where do you come from?" asked twilight as she scribbled away

"from a planet called earth in a solar system that's located in a galaxy called the milky-way, I come from a country called the united kingdom, Britain or England as its known to many and its part of a continent called Europe agh" he groaned as the burning in his back was intensifying, she eyed him curiously, her facial expression just asking 'are you ok?'

"yup yeah totally fine" he answered with a sheepish smile

"no you're not darling you've been groaning and holding you're back since you fell down the stairs, please, let us help" said rarity who could see right through his facade

"there no point in arguing is there?" they all nodded "fine, but don't say i never warned you" he answered before slowly and carefully pulling of his shirt revealing his toned body, for a young man his age he was built fairly well thanks to frequent trips to the gym, his arms and legs were strong and powerful, his body had the beginnings of a four pack but it still was noticeable, still he wouldn't concern himself to be as fit as most of the other pilots on the base but still had the potential to be so.

as he pulled his shirt of, the girls let out quiet gasps, they stared at his toned body and there stairs wouldn't leave him, even rainbow had turned around to look at him, but her body showed it the most, her wings were going fully extended and she had a massive blush on her face, but her eye's deceived her enough and wouldn't stop starring at him, he caught on to all of them, especially rainbow, he turned his head to her and spoke a line he always wanted to say.

"take a picture, it'll last longer" with that she blushed even more and flew up to the roof and sat on a bookshelf to hide her small shame whilst the other girls turned heads to avoid him looking at there blushed faces.

"you're only looking at my decent side *sigh* let me show the side that hurts the most" he spoke as he stood and turned around to show his back, the mares attentions looked towards him again but this time there expressions were different, on his back there was three dark colored scars going diagonal from the left shoulder to his right hip, they looked demonic, painful and just a complete eyesore.

twilight gasped as she saw the state of his back, how could she have missed it as well as the doctors, well....he was lying on his back the whole time so they obviously must have missed them, she reached out a hoof to feel them, he at her touch, but it felt soothing almost after, the scar under hoof felt just a jagged as they looked, permanent scabbing adorned all three

he winced again as his scars throbbed in pain as she took her hoof away as he sat back down on the sofa, he caught a glimpse of twilight powering up her horn and trying to aim whatever she was doing at his back

"no! don't, what ever you're trying to do it isn't going to work...nothing ever does" he said dejectedly as she cancelled her spell

"what kind of creature would do this to you?" spoke rarity clearly shocked at him

"human corruption and evil at its finest, these scars are one of the reminders of my pain, loss and...........and failure"

"what......what happened" asked rainbow as she floated down and sat by his side

"what happened.................i lost my only remaining family and friends, that's what happened......all in the space of mere minutes......it was three months ago when i was based in another country called Afghanistan, the country my country is involved in a war on terror with, high command of the army in the local area had received what they called a fairly reliable tip-off......but what they didn't know was that it was complete bullshit....."

~~three months ago - Afghanistan mountains - Matrix first person~~

so........high command says they have a tip-off about this new splinter group of AL-Qaeda, the black horses they called themselves from what we interpreted, either it was that or the translator was just bad, pah but what a crock of shit it all was, anyways the black horses were this splinter group, fairly small but they were gaining followers and friends.................quickly, not only that they were also making life hell for the people living in the surrounding towns and villages, also they were more reckless and were being complete thorns in our sides for too long, so this tip-off was spouting that the dark horses had bought a huge shipment of weaponry and were going to transport them through the mountains to supply there camps here and into Iraq.

well, we weren't going to let that keep continue, by any means necessary.

our mission, was that my team of pilots, going in with harriers loaded with ground based weapons, would take it out as it comes out into the open part of the mountains, the Intel said it would have only a few souls on board and from the drones it said there was to be no enemy air or ground support in the surrounding area.

seems they didn't look hard enough

so here 'were' was my team of pilots

sergeant designated 'silver' specialty in ground based gun runs

corporal designated 'rookie' specialty in air to air dogfights

flight sergeant designated 'wise guy' specialty in all rounder

and then there was me, captain designated 'Matrix' i specialize in blowing up shit and getting the job done with minimal casualty's, but there one thing about us that make us work at our best, is that we are a family, symbolically but family, a band of brothers to the end, a shame it came to that

on the day of the delivery, we set out to the coordinates with our heavy pay loaded harriers, we arrived a little early to ambush it just as it leaves the tunnel, all was quiet......until the radar went haywire, at first it may have looked like a flock of birds, but in reality it was a squadron of fighters, we were outnumbered three to one and with only armed with 25mm cannons and no air to air missiles, it seemed like world war two for us

I remember that masivly unfair dogfight like it was my whole life in one moment

"two minutes to target"

"the skies are still clear"

"yeah looks like Intel is true to there word for once!"

"tighten it up back and cut the chatter..............somethings not right"

"you're not the only one with that feeling lad"

"er guys, my radar's fuckin with me"

"that not you rookie, iv'e got it too!"

"wiseguy can you confirm any of this?"

"no, my scope says things are clear?"

"the hell is going on?"

"holy shit contact starboard side! i count at least 16!"

"i thought Intel said they didn't have air support" silver shouted down the comms

"rookie! you've got four on you're six, evasive maneuvers before they get a lock on!" silver shouted desperately whilst trying to shake of his own tail

"i cant do anything, he's got me spiked! my wings and rudder are shot to hell, i'm heading in low!"

"just hold on lad i'm coming in in 30 seconds just let clear a window!" exclaimed wise guy

"i'll get that window" i shouted as i banked hard right to help wise guy with his two guys in any way possible

"shit i've got radar lock!" rookie cried

"Just a few seconds were almost there!" i replied but it was for naught, one fighter had managed to sneak away and get in front of him, getting a perfect lock on him....and firing

he didn't have a chance in hell as the deadly missile sped towards him, he could only look on in horror as his life ended in a fiery ball of flames

"rookie! alright you sneaky bastards, square go!" silver didn't take too kindly to this, his anger took control of him and he turned himself loose on the enemy fighters, dodging left and right, canon's blazing, earning a streak of three kills, but his own careless ended him, as he turned left a fighter came down on him guns and missiles blazing, a few lucky shots hit his left wing external fuel tank, exploding it and completely ripping of the wing, making the plane spin out of control, he had no chance of ejecting

"fuck it! fuck it no!"

"calm it lad this isn't helping the situation, the train is out the tunnel now, i'll draw there fire you get you're shot on the target"

i knew this was suicidal, merely five minutes ago we all thought this was gonna be easy, now half my team is dead, the rest were on the verge of death. not the way i or we would have wanted to go out but that's life, always kicking you in the balls.

"okay!, banking hard left!"

"alright, come along then hot shots, let's see how good you can fly with my flight boot's up you're arse's" he shouted as he pulled away to try and attract all there attention. merely a minute after, the radio went.....

*boom.............fizz crackle........................"

the last sound I heard through the radio, meaning he was gone already, i had my aim on the target as it sped down the track, a quick glance at the radar showed me rest of the fighters were aiming down on me, one locked and fired a shot and hit my tail, but i was still airborne but i was going down anyway. I had to take the shot now or never all or all of my team would have died for nothing, i flipped the switches and fired everything at it, cannon's, maverick missile's and rocket pods, a small shower of hell raining down and blowing everything in its way

my ammo spent, my plane damaged and with part the train still there and still going i aimed my craft with what control i had at it and ejected, the canopy broke off, i was thrown vertical into the air in the ejector seat as i watched my crafts last moments before exploding, i touched the ground softly but i had no chance of escape as a swarm of technical's came up from behind me, i tried to run but hey cornered me, knowing i was done for i went to my knee's, and flipped them all the bird with a smug smile on my face, one man came over to me as knocked me the fuck out with his rifle

I remember waking up in dark place, musky, damp, smelt like shit, that's what you get for ordering 1 star hotel and bar in a desert country after blowing up something important to the enemy, i was chained to the wall, i was missing my shirt with my dog-tags still around my neck and i had a few bloody scratches, i felt fine unless you count the side of my face stinging like a bitch, I heard the sound of the thick heavy door at the other end of the room i was in open, in strode three men, the middle guy was the biggest, pretty intimidating, but who wasn't

"you here to kill me, he-he, i didn't think that the black horses recruited stacks of shit that high!" i laughed, not the best way for introductions, my reward, a kick to the stomach

"silence!" spouted one of the lackeys but he was silenced by the bigger buy obviously the leader, i didn't feel frightened, not until i saw what he was holding, a crude looking sledgehammer and what looked like a whip, he took the hammer and swung at my right leg, and broke it with a sickening crunch, the pain was unbearable but i tried to tough through it by not screaming out

"you are tough" he spoke in his in a rough version of English with his accent "but i will break you and you information will be hours" he said before speaking his lackeys who unchained me and re-chained em so i was then facing the wall

"bring the oil!" he shouted and the two brought in a small barrel of what i thought was said oil, from my odd angle i could see him dip the whip in the barrel, coating the whip with the stuff, he pulled it out and pulled out a match from his pocket at set it alight

*CRACK!*

I suffered similar torture for the next week alongside regular punching and kicking, but i never said a thing, they would not break me, eventually, being the dumb asses they are, they worked out that i never knew anything anyway, they took me to the nearest town and dumped me there, shirtless, battered, broken and empty, in the end i had earned three bloody deathly looking scars along my back, the burning oil from the whip had seeped into the skin and caused a burning pain that never stopped burning, it was like my back was constantly on fire, my leg from what i could tell was only a minor fracture as i could stand only it for a few minutes before giving out so i ended up using a stick to help, for three days i skulked around at night before i came across an american patrol, they told me that any of the bases in the area had been searching for me, was i ever glad

they took me back to base. splinted me and flew me home for proper care, a month after being in hospital and getting of crutches fairly quickly surprisingly it was only a small break, they held the funeral for my team, there families were there, weeping and full of sorrow, i felt like i had been kicked in the gut, i took it upon myself that it was my own fault they got killed despite others saying otherwise, i watched at they lowered the empty coffin into the graves, i had been given there spare dog-tags, i don't know why they gave them to me, but i kept them, i wore them all around my necks or in my pockets everywhere i went as another weight reminder of my own failure, i could have been there quicker for them.

after the funeral they awarded my with a medal for my 'bravery'...........but what bravery had i done?...........they also 'awarded' me with the chance to fly and test one of the newly bought F-35's lightnings that the government were going to buy for the British navy's future aircraft carrier fleet from the U.S.A., i accepted, a third reminder of my failure

nearly two months later the mission, i was deemed fit to fly again, but i don't know if i could any more, my dreams at night were filled with nightmares of the fight all over again usually waking up to the ever present burning pain, the doctors said they couldn't get rid of it, only dull it, i spent allot of nights walking alone along the runway with my head in the clouds, eventually I got into the thrill of flying again, the doctor saying i was going through a lot of stress, he convinced me to get back in the game although it worked and i was in the air again, though it was only a small dosage of anti-depressant  for me, I was a mess, my life was a mess

I was eventually called to a debriefing of the mission one day, why they needed one i didn't know, they said they had some 'upsetting' news, i went in, they talked, i came out angry and even more upset that i originally was, they said that the pilots were Russians, older ex-pilots who still held grudges against the western democracies, they had been hired by the black horses because they had the same ideals and could essentially get payback for whatever wrongs we had supposedly done to them?

they told me the tip-off was false, the whole thing was set up! the train was fake, the black horses had set it up to demonstrate and make a fool out of us, my team 'DID' die for nothing, i just wanted to fly over there and blow all there shit to hell! real or fake!

~~present - 3rd person~~

"i lost the only remaining people i held dear to me, and still to this day i hold the responsibility of there deaths on my shoulders, as if my life wasn't bad enough to start with" he tried hard to let his emotions loose but he couldn't stop the line of tears fall, he then heard the sound of wings flapping and he then felt a pairs of limbs wrap around his side

he looked and saw that rainbow was hugging him, it felt warm and comforting, he couldn't help but wrap his other around her and pull her into the hug, then he felt more body's against him, the rest of the girls had joined in too to comfort him, he never felt more happy and felt more closure in ages, he let out a happy smile as the girls did too, the girls let up but rainbow was still attached to him, she looked up to him with a small tear in her eye

"i'm sorry, i'm sorry...........truly i am" she whispered as she buried her head into his arm, he couldn't believe the whole scene before him, this didn't seem like rainbow at all, maybe it was just a side he never saw before on the show?

"it's ok, i forgive you" they both released each other and looked at each other with light blushes before turning to the rest of them as he pulled his shirt back on

"so i suppose you all have plenty more questions now that that little incident is water under the bridge" he chuckled, they nodded

"well ask away" i said and instantly rarity raised her hoof

 "yes miss rarity i believe it is?" he responded still acting completely anonymous to them

"you are correct dear and could i ask but pardon my expression what is that horrendous ensemble you're wearing?" she pointed her hoof at his trousers, shirt and boots

"oh these, just standard issue clothing, and that suit and helmet are my flight wear, they're designed to allow my body to endure the G forces when i'm flying at supersonic speeds"

"supersonic speeds, how is that possible? only a few pegasi can fly at those speeds and you clearly look like you aren't even capable of flying!" questioned twilight, he grinned at her and answered smugly

"well you obviously weren't paying attention when i came crashing down overhead weren't you, did you not see the grey machine fly over you're little town" he had her there because she simply face-hoofed at how she so easily forgot

"anyways dear, you must allow my to make you some new cloths, you cant keep walking around in those cloths all the time, you should come along to my boutique at some point"

"thank you for the invitation miss rarity, i think i might take you up on that offer, i do only have one spare pair of clothes anyhow"

twilight was waving her hoof around slightly, eager to ask him plenty of questions

"what you wanna know twilight?" she put her hoof down

"what was that machine that you arrived here in?"

'oh boy this gonna be good' he mind chuckled to himself

that 'machine' my dear twilight is a flying machine called a jet plane or in this a jet 'fighter', this type of jet is called the F-35b lightning ll joint strike fighter, like most jet aircraft it uses a jet turbine engine to produce its propulsion through the air and although i have never been at it's top speed but i know that it can travel up to 1200 miles per hour and fly up an altitude of 60,000 ft, and unlike most other planes that require and long strip of tarmac to take of from this plane can take of vertically" he stated proudly

there jaws were all literally on the floor, never had they heard something quite extraordinary machine capable of doing such feats, rainbow though thought other wise and laughed

"bwahaha i'll believe that when i see it!"

"again i'll revert back to my previous statement did you not see me flying through the air crashing to the ground earlier?"

he had her there too, all of them yet again, then his mind suddenly clicked he plane was still a wreck and his gear was still inside it

"aw crap i need to get my plane, could you guys take me to it"

"of course we would like to" said a new voice

everyone turned around and looked at the two new figures that stood in the doorway

"princess Celestia! princess Luna!"

Going public re-write complete!

"princess Celestia! princess Luna!" the girls shouted in unison before bowing to them, Matrix semi-freaked out never really being in a position of in the presence of royalty, so instead he stood up and saluted them, it the was the first thing that crossed his mind, go figure.

"you may rise my little ponies, and you may stand down too Mr?...."

"captain, call-sign matrix ma'am" he answered whilst lowering his salute

"its good to see that you are feeling alive and well, and I can also see that you responded to my presence in a military like fashion? I take it you are military in someway?" asked the sun goddess

"iv'e suffered alot worse you're highness and yes I recognize royalty when I see it as I come from a monarch run country, and finally yes I serve in the military, the royal air force to be more precise"

"the royal air force? what is this group you speak of? is it like the pegasi guard we have?" asked the night princess

"erm i'm sorry if i don't properly understand what you mean but where i'm from we don't have have pegasi, only in Greek mythology, but from what you are asking me  i believe you may be right but the RAF as it is sometimes called doesn't just protect our own country, they work abroad in other country's too protecting our allies and assisting them, but we  humans as what i am, don't have wings or any kind of natural ability to fly or have the use of magic but what we do have is technology"

"how advanced is said technology?" Luna asked again

"well, for example the jet I crashed here in is a pretty good thing"

"i'm assuming its a flying machine correct?"

"right you are ma'am, and erm princess Celestia was it? as much as I am finding it hard to believe that i'm not hallucinating in any way possible, and if i am correct that i am indeed on a foreign world, i must Know, is there any way shape or form for me to return to my own home planet?" the goddess took a moment before letting out a sigh and speaking

"i am sorry to say my dear subject that what you ask of me is not within my ability or anyponies ability, for that i am sorry for when I brought you here, you were on the verge of death anyways"

"please you're majesty don't be, for the record and pardon my language, my home world was a shit place to live anyway"

"what would make thou doubt thine's own home?" Luna inquired

"humanity at the current moment is at it's peak right now, but all over the globe we have problems, so many in fact I feel that we are destroying ourselves in the process, and as much as i would like to degrade my home planet and species I would prefer it if we dropped the subject, cause right now  I never want to return to that place, for so far, this planet is beginning to look like a new life for me, a new.....beginning if you will"

"I believe I would be more than happy to bare witness to a new addition to Equestria and Equis itself, as long as you prove to not be a threat to my subjects I will grant you citizenship in return for some knowledge of you're kind if that is too you're liking"

"I thank you ma'am and I would be very much appreciated, but for now I would like it if you could escort me to my craft, I have to inspect its condition if i'm to be airborne again anytime soon or for any use of it"

"of course but I think it would in every ponies interest if you introduced you're self to the townsfolk, you did cause a bit of a stir with you're somewhat dramatic entry, I must say that this town can be quite accepting once they get over the initial fear of something new"

"certainly but may I ask princess, did you hear any of that conversation earlier?"

"yes, we both did" answered Luna "thou must say, you're story is truly a very graving one and for that I give you thine's deepest condolences, for my sister and thou both believe that no living being should ever experience such atrocities"

'thank god the princesses at least seem to be on my side here, seems also that Luna still speaks in the traditional Canterlot voice a bit'

"thanks princess, now I believe we have a town to meet, if you would lead the way" he gestured to the door and held it open for her and the others, being the gentleman he was. that and she could be the one holding his life on the line.

Both Alicorns flanked his sides with the girls following behind them and quartet of guard circled the group from the carriage outside of the library, the walk was slightly small and quite unnerving for the young pilot, from all directions he could see ponies either hiding behind something in fear if him but the occasional few came out to get a better look at the strange new creature.

One very awkward and slightly un-nerving walk later, the group found themselves in the middle of town where the stage was still standing, the princesses, elements and the human all walked on whilst the guards guarded the steps, by now nearly the whole town had followed them and had amassed at the stage, the human could hear constant chatter amongst the crowd, mostly about him if not all, Celestia raised her hoof and instantly they all settled.

"ahem....hello again to you all of this fair little town of ponyville, now i'm sure you all know that earlier today the skies above us were disturbed by an unknown object that landed outside of the town, well i would like you all to know that the object is not of this earth and the being is was carrying was what we now know as a human" she points a hoof at matrix to emphasis

"from what he tells us he is from a civilized race from another world and is completed harmless, so you can please out all you're worries to rest and hopefully learn to welcome him as one of us, i would like to personally and welcome him to Equestria and Equis" the crowd eased up plenty as the heard her calm demeanor

"but i'm sorry to announce that our time us up for me and my dear sister must return to Canterlot, farewell my little ponies" she turned around to the elements and human

"and i bid you goodbye captain, we shall see you again soon, my guards and the girls will escort you to you're craft, farewell.......oh and i almost forgot" her horn lit up in a golden glow and a medium sized pouch appeared out of thin air and landed in his palm "for starters" she said quickly and with that she and her sister walked of to the carriage next to the stage and they took away to the mountains as the crowd dispersed.

"well...........that could have gone worse than i thought it may have done........but whatever floats you're boat i guess?" he spoke out load.

"well now that the towns introductions are out of the way should we get going to you're plane?"

"yeah sure, you lead the way" twilight nodded at him then to the guards who walked in formation around the group as the walked to the edge of town.

airbourne again

Man it feels good to be back online and now I can finally get this chapter up I’m a thinking about having additional characters in the story as well so if you fancy being a part pm me and I’ll see if I think its good or not but you won’t come in until a bit later other than that back to the story

As the two sisters entered there carriage and went on their way back to canterlot the crowd that had gathered around us slowly began to disappear, I only had one thing to say “well how’s that for a welcoming committee” but as soon as I had said that pinkie pie had leapt into to air and let out a loud gasp and then spoke faster than the speed of sound “OMIGOSHICOMPLETELY FORGOT!!” then quickly sped off into town

“erm where did pinkie go in such a hurry” I asked out loud to the others then it hit me I hadn’t  noticed that pinkie had been pretty quiet which wasn’t normal for her she was pretty hyper  “ah think she gon t sugarcube corner t set up a welcome party for ya” “rrrriiigghhhttt I said breaking the sudden awkwardness “ well she off doing that could guys take back to where I crashed I need to see if my plane hasn’t taking and damage” “sure just follow us” said twilight  and with that we made our way to where I had landed, well sort off landed,

character switch rainbow dash (POV)

I hadn’t noticed that I had started to fall behind everypony while else they talking about something or other, I was too thinking to myself  trying to make sense of what happened  earlier back at twilights house

“I can’t believe that even after I had hurt him he still apologized that quickly”

“And yet he did he must have seen your reaction we you realized that you had”

“Yeah I still feel a bit guilty for hurting him though I have to make it up him somehow”

…….

“I know what you were thinking when you were staring at him without his shirt on”

“NO I WAS NOT AND WHY WOULD I HE’S NOT EVEN A PONY”

“Oh please I’m your brain you can’t lie to me I see everything, you were crying your eyes out when he apologized to you and you were blushing a lot when he caught you staring at him and even more so when he winked at you and not to mention that you were really enjoying it when you were hugging him”

“DARN IT BRAIN WHY DO YOU NEED TO BE SO EVIL TO ME RIGHT NOW!"

“Because I can and look at the facts, he likes the same music you do, he can be loyal when he needs to be just like you, and he also loves flying JUST like you! Plus he’s kind, caring and has other talents too, you have so much in common and  you pretty much went through the same things when you were younger”

“Ok ok so you gotta point so maybe I like him a little bit but I barley even know him and the fact that he still isn’t a pony or from this world for that matter”

“Well why don’t you try and get to know him you never know and who cares if he’s not a pony”

“I guess you maaayybbe right”

“Of course im right I’m your brain”

And just I was thinking of an answer for that I was snapped out of my conversation with my own mind and back into reality

by someone

“Rainbow dash, yo rainbow dash!

character switch matrix (POV)

“Rainbow dash, yo rainbow dash….. HEY RAINBOW” “HUH, what who said that, oh it’s you matrix” I had noticed rainbow had started to fall behind all of us so I had asked what was up she looked like she was in deep thought. “You ok there rainbow, something on your mind” “erm…. No…. nothing, nothing what so ever” she puts her fore hooves around her back and smiled sheepishly “well ok then let’s carry on then” man she looked so cute when she did that even though I knew something was troubling her but I would have to find out later and with that we continued to walk towards where ever I had landed.

The girls were having small talk between themselves about their plans for the upcoming weekend when saw a bunch of tree’s not too far off on the horizon I pointed and said “hey twilight what’s that place over there” still keeping up the clues less act  “oh that’s the everfree forest you’ll want to steer clear of it it’s not very safe” “really how” so was my reply “well the plants and trees grow, the animals live and grow, and the clouds move, ALL ON THERE OWN!!” they all said in unison

“Huh that sounds pretty normal to me”

“WHAT” they looked at up at me as if I was crazy “I said that sounds pretty normal to me” they were all stunned at this then spoke up “so what you’re saying is that your planet is like the everfree forest” said twilight “eeyup” is said (big mac much) “oh…my …It must be so harsh living In a world like that” said fluttershy but she was speaking so quietly I almost didn’t hear her “ well it wasn’t so hard from where I was living but in some parts of the world not so easy” eager to get of the subject I motioned for us to carry on.

After about 10 minutes we were on the edge of the town and I guessed it was around midday since a didn’t have a watch, we finally made it to the hill where I had parked and I was surprised at what I was seeing, the plane was actually intact, man I felt lucky, I guessed I would have to do some minor repairs to get her flying again but that would have to wait I was desperate to see if it would start at all there were a few guards surrounding the site to stop anypony who was curious to get a look but when they saw us bowed and then let us past since they now knew who I was then they took off.

“ok” clapping my hands together “first we need to get her of the ground and get the landing out so I can get a proper look to see if there any damage twi do you think you could lift her up but is must warn you it’s” I was cut off by twilight “ it doesn’t look that hard to lift” and with that her glowed as she tried to lift the plane of the ground but she had to stop from exhaustion  “as I was going to say this plane is quite heavy as it does weigh around 30,000 pounds  so I think you won’t be able to just do it on your own excuse  me miss rarity do you think you could give a hand here”

“of course anything for you dear” she said then her horn began to glow as well and with twilight they managed to lift the craft of the ground and but keep it low enough so I could reach into the cockpit and flip the switches for the landing gear with surprise the actually came at some things still worked, I said they could let her down and they quickly did so with exhausted looks on their faces “right now that’s out of the way let’s check the damage”

I walked around the aircraft inspecting it from top to bottom looking for any damage what so ever but all I found was a few scratches on the paint job but nothing else the only thing left to do was to see if she would ever start up again, I hobbled up to the cockpit and lifted myself in and started pushing buttons, everything was working surprisingly so there I decided to test the engine but when I hit the engine start button I got a warning saying there was something wrong with the air intake fans “oh for f**ks sake I said out loud then I realised that I still had company and quickly apologized

I got out of the cockpit and nearly ended up on my arse after nearly falling over trying to jump out of it and walked over to one side of the craft and peered into the air intake fan and I quickly saw the problem, the was a huge amount of dirt jamming the fans and so I leaned in and tried to scoop as much out as possible and once I was satisfied I had I slid out and did the same to the one on the other side and then climbed back into the cockpit again hoping that had done it but before I pressed the starter I quickly told the girls who had been sitting there patiently “if this works you might want to take a step back and cover your ears as it might get a little loud” they all nodded and put there hoofs to their ears and when I saw that they had done so I turned back to the plane and t]put forward a lever next to the throttle to lower the engine at the back into hover mode then I flicked the starter switch

After a few nerve racking seconds “SUCCESS” I yelled as the engine came to life with a high pitched roar, I then put the throttle forward a little just enough to lift me of the ground and the wheels lifted off the ground. I turned my head to see that the five mares where staring in a amazement at what they were seeing, a giant metal machine was hovering right in front of them all I couldn’t hear I saw rainbow mouth the word “that is so awesome”

Now that I was satisfied that the plane could indeed fly I pulled back on the throttle and landed gently back on the ground and switched of engine once the noise had died down I climbed out of the cockpit and shut the canopy so nobody could get in and turned back to the mares who were still looking at me in amazement then rainbow shouted out “THAT WAS SO AWESOME” “hehe just wait to you see her fly at top speed then you’ll understand to true awesomeness of this machine.

“Don’t you know who your talking to, none over than the fastest flyer in all of equestria” said dash “O really” I replied sarcastically “is that a challenge” she said hovering right up in my face trying to look intimidating “Eeyup” (big mac much) “ok I challenge you to a race” said rainbow I folded my arms and said spoke challenged accepted but well have to do it later cause right now I need to check if my stuff is also still intact so twilight I you would kindly lift me up onto the back of the plane please” “easy” replied twilight and with her horn glowing again she floated me onto her the back of the plane a let her grip of me go. I then moved over the storage compartment hoping that all my stuff inside had survived the crash as well.

In opened the compartment hatch and I let out a sigh of relief as all my stuff had looked like it had survived I just needed to see if my laptop and iPod would still turn on. I pulled out the iPod and turned on and was satisfied be greeted by the lock screen so I put it my pocket along with my earphones, then I pulled out my laptop, flipped it open and turned it on and was also greeted by its lock screen I quickly typed in the password and put it down next to me as I waited for it load so I continued to rummage through the rest of my things.

I pulled out a small rucksack and began to put the rest of my stuff in: the extra pair of clothes, two small short wave radios with wireless headset’s, a Swiss army knife, a combat knife with sheath and a 9mm Beretta pistol with two spare clips and holster which I quickly shoved into the bag out of site, I hoped I would never have to use them except for an emergency then I heard somepony say something that shocked me deeply “what the hay! how do you have a picture of us on that thing of yours?”

I turned my head and I saw rainbow dash hovering over my computer obviously she must have wanted to get a better look at what was doing then saw my computer. I then realized that I had set the background of my desktop with a picture of the mane six from the show in my head I was screaming ohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrap! I realized that there was no hiding it anymore. “Matrix is there a’somethin you ain’t tellin us” applejack said from below me, I let out a long sigh and grabbed the bag, shut the compartment hatch and picked up my laptop and dropped onto the ground silently groaning as small wave of pain shot up my leg, I regained my composure and spoke “I guess I had better explain myself” so I sat down on the grass they did the same and I began to explain

SERPRISE!! heart attack

After an hour of explaining to them all about the show and some other things like the brony community  and that people wrote their own fanfics about them (but I missed out the fact that rainbow was my favourite character) and saying that they are kind of celebrity’s they seemed to take it pretty well, well when I say that I mean blushing with embarrassment but in the end they took it well, I showed them an episode on my laptop as well and by the end of it we were all laughing but was interrupted by the sound of my stomach growling loudly.

“damn am I hungry I haven’t eaten since….er this morning you girls feel like going to sugar cube corner I’m buying” they all nodded in agreement, I stood up from sitting in the same position for ages and stretched my spine till I heard a satisfying click and I groaned in relief then the girls did the same and I picked up my rucksack put my laptop inside and slung it over my back then we made our way back into ponyville.

I got bored after about five minutes of walking which surprisingly I could a lot better, I pulled out my iPod and noticed that the charging icon was on as well as the Wi-Fi, “heck yeah” I thought to myself but before I could put my earphones in RD asked “what’s that you got there”

“oh it’s my iPod it’s like a smaller version of my laptop for when I’m on the go I mainly listen to my music on it though” “an I have a listen to your music” said RD insistently “yeah sure” I helped her put in one of the earphones then I scrolled through my music looking for a good song I found one that hopefully she my approve of “you might like this one rainbow it’s by a group called green day, there a punk rock band and are really good” then I pressed the play button

(Play “welcome to paradise” by green day)

Rainbow was hovering by my side as we walked back to town sticking close so she didn’t pull out the earphones but a little to close but I didn’t mind, I could she was enjoying the music as she was nodding her head pretty hard, when the song ended she looked at me saying “this music is awesome do you have any more” I nodded and selected my custom playlist of rock songs, eventually we made it back into town and we got a few looks come our way but nothing more, I followed the girls towards bakery since I couldn’t tell where it is even if I did recognise some of the buildings.

(stop music but what ever you want is just fine)

When the playlist I pulled out my earphone and dash did the same and I put the iPod back in my pocket. It had gotten quiet so tried to make conversation “so now that I’m living here I should try and find a job any suggestions”

Before anypony could say anything dash spoke

“Earlier on didn’t you say you could Dj as well as play others instruments” “a bit and yes why’d you ask” well I now just the pony you should go see she’s called DJ pon3 and she on the lookout for someone new” “whoa whoa whoa did you just say DJ pon3,as in THE most popular DJ in all of equstria” she nodded “well that sounds like a plan you’ll have to take me to see her later cause right now I’m really hungry” and with that we carried on walking.

We finally reached sugar cube corner but all the light were of inside so I walked up to the door and stuck my head in “hello anypony home, hello then it hit me, I just remembered that pinkie wasn’t with us and then I remembered that AJ said something about a party but before I could do anything else I was greeted by the light’s turning and 100 or so ponies shouting “SURPRIIISSSEEE!!!!”.

“HOLY CRAP” I shouted out loud before falling over backwards and my head hitting the floor with a painful thump. “WEREYOUSURPRISEDWEREYOUWEREYOUHUHHUHHUH” said a wide grinning pinkie pie in my face “heck ye I was surprised you nearly gave me a bloody heart attack there” I said sarcastically “but I’m fine now I just need something to eat because I am STARVING!”

  As I rose to my feet I dusted myself of pinkie had ran off somewhere and quickly came back with what looked like I cupcake in her hoof, I took it in my hands and looked at it, it looked so delicious but then my eyes caught site of the mane six and everypony looking at me with anticipation, I took a bite of the brightly coloured cupcake then I just froze solid still holding the treat in my hand,

“Do you like it” said the pink pony looking up at me with her big blue eyes

“This…..IS…...AMAZING it’s the best cupcake I have ever eaten” I said swallowing my mouthful and then continued noming on the rest of I, everypony let out a sigh of relief , when I finished eating the colourful treat I spoke up “well what are we all standing around for lets partaaaaayyyyy!

The party lasted a few good hours I had enjoyed it really well but I had to take it easy because of my head and leg which fluttershy had taken the bandages off. It was starting to get late, everypony had gone home except for the mane six, I othered to help clean up but they insisted (especially rainbow dash) that I sit down and rest while they cleaned up.

When they had finished cleaning up we all got ready to home I insisted that I help walk then home rainbow said yes but twilight said I should get back to her house to get some proper rest rainbow gave in and grunted “fine” then we all went our separate ways with me walking alongside twilight

“Hey twilight have you noticed something about rainbow dash‘s been acting a little weird all day can you explain that”

As a matter of fact I did notice, but she only started to act weird when you got here”

“Hmmm I wonder” I said in a puzzled voice whilst looking up at the slowly darkening shy and scratching my chin”

“Wonder what matrix” twilight had stopped walking and was looking at me with a look of confusion

“What oh nothing just lost in my thought’s that’s all well come on let’s get going” I had an idea of why rainbow was acting weird but I wouldn’t believe it still for some reason I felt like I should do something for her maybe take her to the next wonder bolts show yeah she’ll like that.

When we finally got to twilights I noticed there was a distinct lack of someone “hey twilight where’s spike?” “oh he’s away on royal business” (typical)”ah ok I guess I’ll just have to introduce myself another time then so where am I bunking then”  “I’ll set up a bed for you in the basement you don’t mind do you” “of course not its fine” I said and so I followed her down to the basement into the basement where she set up my bed and then went to bed herself as did I.

“Newbie….no …..Silver…..wiseguy…..oh god…..no noooooo….ggaaahhhh”

I woke up hyperventilating, sweat pouring down my head. I tried to control my breathing down. I just had a nightmare. I haven’t had a nightmare in months ever since the mission. I needed a breather so I swung my legs of the bed rubbed my temples and put on my clothes. I silently crept up the sets not wanting to wake up anypony and silently opened the door to hear the sound of twilight still asleep. I thanked Luna I hadn’t awoken her from her slumber and tiptoed over to the door and went outside.

It was still dark out and there was nopony around. Good.  I started walking in no particular direction while a cool night breeze blew against my face. I hadn’t really appreciated the night before but that was back on earth so I thanked Luna for the beautiful night that she had put on and continued walking wherever. Eventually I came across the bridge over the pond I had seen a couple of times from the show and so I went and sat on the wall of it with my legs dangling over the edge so I could see myself in the water. I saw myself in the reflection looking back at me I know I wasn’t much to look at but I wasn’t that bad.

I sighed and looked up to the night sky. There were only a few clouds in the sky “perfect weather for flying” I thought to myself and I nearly persuaded myself to go for a quick flight but fought I wouldn’t be best to go waking everypony up. I let out a long sigh as the memories of my teammates flashed through my mind. Newbie, silver, wiseguy. They all had families to go home to, but the never made it. I took it upon myself so keep on going and remember them but it wasn’t always easy.

I forced myself to go back to bed and so I got up and walked back to the library completely unaware that I was being watched by a cyan figure on a nearby cloud.

10 minutes earlier RD cloud home (and pov)

Rainbow dash was having trouble sleeping because of the amount of emotions going through her head mostly about matrix. She decided to give on sleep and go outside for a midnight flight session.

After around 5 minutes of flying and doing basic stunts she touched down on a nearby cloud to catch her breath. She looked down on the sleeping town and to a moment to take in the scenery then she spotted a tall looking figure walking down the street.  She moved the cloud closer to get a better look at who it could be and she recognized the figure as matrix “what could he be doing out this late?” dash thought to herself so she followed him.

She watched him as he just sat there on the bridge looking up at the sky. Then when he got up to go back to the library rainbow just silently followed him until he went back inside “she wondered what must be troubling him and said to herself she’ll ask him in the morning on her way to help him with DJ pon3 way then she began to fly back to her own home now feeling like she could fight the battle of sleep.

Getting a job…..and clothes…..and answering questions….great! Part 2

Getting a job…..and clothes…..and answering questions….great! Part 2

(“Ok let’s recap, I have my favourite pony in my arms presumably asleep, that has a crush on me even though she only met me yesterday and she doesn’t know that I have a crush on her great. I think that all makes sense to me, I’m not insane and this is real but this is a bit awkward”) I was thinking to myself still about the situation I was in but in the end I was ok with it.

It took me another five minutes to get to raritys home with the cyan mare still in my arms. Asleep. “Dear god she looked so cute when she’s asleep” talking quietly to myself I eventually found myself at the foot at the fashion designers door and knocked with my foot as my arms where already preoccupied.

I heard hoof steps from the other side of the door then the sound of it unlocking and there stood a white mare with purple mane. “Hello rarity I’ve here to see about getting myself some clothes” I spoke politely “hello to you to matrix” she replied “erm don’t mind me asking but….why are you holding rainbow dash?” (“Oh s**t quick think of something”) “Oh….erm…she er… she tripped and er…landed on her wing awkwardly and I er…offered to carry her yeah is there a problem” I answered putting on a fake smile

“Oh there’s no problem at all but please do come in and make yourself comfortable” she gestured my inside with her hoof “thanks rarity erm do you have someplace where I can put sleeping beauty here down” I asked sarcastically with a grin on my face “yes just put her down on the sofa over” she pointed to the other side of the room. I walked over to the sofa and tried to put the sleeping Pegasus down but she wouldn’t let go “um excuse me rarity but could you give me a hand here” I said out load “with what dear” I heard her reply from across the room so I turned around to face her and held my arms out wide with the cyan mare still clinging to me fast asleep she chuckled a bit then carefully used her magic to pry her of me and gently put her down onto the sofa undisturbed

“Thanks again rarity” I said as I stretched myself after carrying rainbow all the way here “think nothing of it darling” said rarity not make yourself while I go get what I need to measure you” and with that she trotted of upstairs. While she was of doing that put down my rucksack and my guitar next to the wall and pulled out my laptop and put it onto the table next to me. After quickly logging on I pulled up my settings and quickly went to work, after five minutes of quickly fumbling around in my settings I had put certain restrictions on it so if anypony got there hooves on it they wouldn’t be able to go on certain things on the internet, YouTube etc. I didn’t want anypony going on here and looking at anything that they shouldn’t be seeing. You get what I mean. I then heard the sounds of hooves coming down the stairs but they were too loud and fast to be only one pony, it sounded like at least three ….. Wait…… aw crap.

Before I could react I was bundled to the floor by what seemed to be three smaller ponies standing on my chest. I took a second to clear my rub my head as I had hit the floor and looked up at the three fillies standing on top of me. I instantly recognised who they were. I was none other than the mischievous CMC themselves applebloom, sweetiebelle and scootaloo “HEY MISTER ARE YOU THAT THING THE PRINCESS SHOWED US YESTERDAY” they all said in perfect unison “firstly yes, yes I am, secondly I’m a human, thirdly my name is matrix and fourthly ooowwww did you have to shout that loud I have ears ya know and would you be so kind and jump of me please” I asked kindly.

they got of me and I stood up and dusted myself off. I must feel like a giant to them as I was literally towering over them but they didn’t seem scared at all in fact they were staring up at me in pure aw. I broke the silence “well aren’t you going to introduce me to yourselves” the white furred filly was the first to speak “hi my names sweetiebelle” “and ma name’s applebloom” “and I’m scootaloo and together we are” they all took a deep breath the shouted out loud “THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!!”

(“how did I know they were gonna do that, ow my ears again!”) I was then saved by the sound of rarity’s voice coming down the stairs

“sweetiebelle don’t you and your friends go disturbing matrix now I have to measure him for some new clothes which reminds me matrix do humans always wear clothes?” she asked out of curiosity

“yes we do most of the time unless we are going out swimming or doing something like that or when we are bathing so yes we do but there’s also another reason but I don’t want to say it out load” I said “why ever not dear” she asked I waved my hand for her to come over she did and I whispered into her ear and upon hearing what I just said she blushed a little

“well I can see why now you didn’t want to say that out load” she said glancing over at the CMC who were talking amongst themselves something about their cutie marks or something “well shall we get started on the with the clothes then” I stated “oh yes of coarse *ahem* sweetiebelle why don’t you and your friends got outside for a bit while I make matrix his clothing” said rarity “oh ok” the CMC said again in unison then they walked off out the door.

I had left vinyl’s store at around 11:00 in the morning and it was 02:00 in the afternoon according to my laptop I had spent three hours at rarity’s and it was actually ok despite what I had thought earlier she had taken my measurements and had already had gone to work and when it was lunchtime we stopped to have a break and I took a chance to show her some human fashion on my laptop and I was surprised to say that was deeply impressed by some of the fashions  my world had to offer.

After a quick lunch she went back to work and when she had finished she had produced six different coloured t-shirts, four pairs of trousers, seven pairs of socks and underwear, two hoodies, a coat and she even took the liberty of making a pair of trainers as well so I didn’t have to walking around in my RAF boots all the time and she also made me a set of formal attire for special occasions I was downright shocked that she would do all this for me and when I came to give her money she refused but I insisted which in the end she took it

“thanks again rarity you have completely out done yourself but is it alright if you could hang onto my clothes for now so I can come collect them later because right now my arms are pretty full with my guitar and rucksack” I asked “of course it is darling just don’t forget now to pick them up” she replied then put the clothes into a nearby trunk with her magic “I won’t but right now I gotta go do some other things, I’ll come back later tonight for the clothes c’ya” I turned to my laptop and put it in my bag and pick up my guitar, slung them over my back and proceeded to leave but then quickly remembered I had forgotten about somepony. Rainbow dash. I turned around to see that she wasn’t on the sofa anymore (“hm she must have left when rarity was making me the clothes ah well”).

I left the boutique and walked back into pony Ville heading towards the library where I guessed twilight would be waiting to ask me all sorts of questions by now, now that I was feeling a lot better, I was walking through the town centre looking at all the other pony’s going about their business then I spotted applejack with her apple cart selling apples I walked up to her and said in my best southern accent “well howdy there AJ how go’s it selling ya apples” she chuckled a my attempt at the accent and replied “well howdy to you to their matrix care for a apple” she gestured to her cart “don’t mind if I do how much” I asked “two bits an apple” she said “not bad I’ll take one” I said taking out a coin from mind money bag and tossing it over to her which she caught and put into her box of money then in turn picking up and apple then batting it to me with her tail.

I didn’t react quickly enough and it hit me right in the face (BOOM HEADSHOT!!)  And I stumbled over but caught it before it hit ground applejack was on the floor in hysterics at this but straitened her out when I had regained my own composure.

I then took a bit of the apple a it was bursting with flavour better than any apple I had eaten on earth

“damn this has to be the best apple I’ve ever eaten applejack” I said “well thank ya kindly matrix say could you do me a favour and look after ma stall for a bit while a go back to the farm to get more apples” she asked “of course but how long will you be?” “I reckon ‘a’ bout fifth teen minutes or so a’ promise” “ok AJ I trust you just don’t belong” she nodded then trotted off towards sweet apple acres (“note to self-make a stop by their sometime and see if AJ needs a hand with anything”) I took of my guitar and rucksack and picked up a chair and stool that were next to the stall and slouched down on the chair and put my feet up on the stool.

Five minutes went by and I had served one customer a few apples and putting the money in AJ’s bit box. I was starting to get bored but I quickly answered that problem by pulling out my guitar and laptop looking for a song to play that would fit the mood I was in and after thirty seconds I found the song I wanted and began strumming.

“I'm staring out into the night,

Trying to hide the pain.

I'm going to the place where love

And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.

And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain”.

“Well I'm going home,

Back to the place where I belong,

And where your love has always been enough for me.

I'm not running from.

No, I think you got me all wrong.

I don't regret this life I chose for me.

But these places and these faces are getting old,

So I'm going home.

Well I'm going home”.

“The miles are getting longer, it seems,

The closer I get to you.

I've not always been the best man or friend for you.

But your love, it makes true.

And I don't know why.

You always seem to give me another try”.

“So I'm going home,

Back to the place where I belong”,

“And where your love has always been enough for me.

I'm not running from.

No, I think you got me all wrong.

I don't regret this life I chose for me.

But these places and these faces are getting old”.

“Be careful what you wish for,

'Cause you just might get it all.

You just might get it all,

And then some you don't want.

Be careful what you wish for,

'Cause you just might get it all.

You just might get it all, yeah”.

“Oh, well I'm going home,

Back to the place where I belong,

And where your love has always been enough for me.

I'm not running from.

No, I think you got me all wrong.

I don't regret this life I chose for me.

But these places and these faces are getting old.

I said these places and these faces are getting old,

So I'm going home”.

I finished playing and I looked around to see that some of the ponies in the market area had stopped what they were doing and were looking in my direction to the source of the music. A few applauded me with their hooves while others were just looking in like they had never music before and then they all went back to what they were doing before. I was just about to put my guitar away then I felt hoof touch my shoulder. I turned around I was looking at a mint green coloured pony with and darker mint green and white mane and tail and had what looked like a lyre from my angle I knew who this was, one of the most recognisable background pony’s from the show.

Lyra heartstrings.

She had a very wide smile on her face as I looked at her. I had read some fanfics about her before and remembered that some people said that she was obsessed with the fact that humans were real and everything about them. Well I guess this proves that since she was looking at me as she was about to faint from over excitement. So I tried to make conversation with her because that smile of hers was starting to creep me out a little. “erm hello is everything ok miss” I was prepared for she did next “I KNEW IT, I JUST BUCKING KNEW IT, I KNEW HUMANS WERE REAL AND THEY DIDN’T BELIEVE ME OH BOY WERE THEY WRONG”.

“whoa whoa whoa hey calm down don’t draw attention to yourself like that jeez and I’m right here you know so there was no need to shout down my eardrum’s (“ow my ears hurt a lot right now and I thought the CMC were bad, if this carry’s on I’ll do deaf”)

“heh heh sorry about that I was just a bit excited that you’re really here(“no kidding”),my names lyra what’s yours and you are a human correct” she said “my name’s matrix and yes I’m a human why do ask?” “oh my a human in equestria, oh my celestia you have to tell me all about your world please I want to know tell me tell me” she said again getting a bit too overexcited “ok ok I tell you” and so I began to explain a bit about my life and earth whilst trying to keep away from the touchy subjects.

Five minutes later I was saved by applejack as she returned with a waggon of apples and then relieved me of applecart duty so I could finally get going back to twilights. I said my goodbyes to applejack and to lyra who been sitting and listening intensively to what I told her. She never looked happier as walked off and with that I grabbed my gear and carried onwards to twilight’s preparing for another load of boring hours, this time I was probably going to be talking to twilight about everything on my world. My brain was going to have headaches for a while but after today I would hopefully never have to do anything like that again…….for a while at least

Songs used:

“WOOOOOHOOOOOO I STILL GOT IT!” I had pulled of a sonic boom right above pony Ville and I was pretty sure that they might not have a appreciated me doing that although I think I did see some ponies cheering at the feat I just pulled but any how  back to flying.

I had gotten bored of listening to the top gun songs so I quickly whipped out my iPod and put on levels by avicii. When the main beat came in I felt I could anything so that’s what I tried to do. I was doing stunts and tricks I would never thought I could ever do but I did them with absolute ease.

When I finished pulling out from doing a loop my eyes landed on what seemed to be city made off clouds. Cloudsdale, home of the pegasi to be more precise. “Let’s see what they think of me” I said out loud whilst turning in the direction towards the cloud city. I wasn’t but a couple of minutes from the edge of the city when something flew right past me leaving a rainbow streak behind it. I knew who this was. It was rainbow dash. She must have heard me flying through pony Ville and came to see what all the fuss was about. She eventually flew back round so she was flying alongside me as we flew towards cloudsdale. She looked towards me then back towards the city then back at me. I knew what she was thinking. She wanted a race and a race she shall get, so I nodded and when I did she took off at an alarming rate, but I soon closed that gap only slightly behind her.

He had reached the city and things where getting hairy. She obviously knew where she was flying me obviously not, she was ducking and weaving through the structures with ease while I was struggling to keep up, then she took a turn downwards and was flying close between the buildings thinking I wouldn’t follow “oh…..it……is….on!! I angled the plane downwards tilting the craft sideways as to avoid contact with the buildings. Ahead seemed to be a sort of crossroads where ponies were flying to and from places. Dash to this opportunity and flew right through the traffic easy, me on the over hand had to quickly throw the aircraft into a tight spin to dodge everything and fly upwards missing every pony by mere inches. I swear time slowed as I passed them and I could the look on some of their faces as a massive grey machine flew right past them faster than anything they had seen before.

Then everything went back to reality as I saw rainbow took a nose dive back towards pony Ville were again she was picking up speed very quickly to the point where a cone of air was forming around her. I knew what was coming next as I put everything my plane had got and more into catching up her which I did. We were both head to head with cones forming around us then at same time dash did the sonic rainboom while I pulled another sonic boom. Now we were both heading towards the ground fast and we had to pull up soon. Dash was the first to pull up from the dive with me close behind following in her rainbow trail up towards the sky. I could she was tiring as she was gradually losing speed so I pulled back on the throttle to stay in line.

She pointed towards the ground indicating to land I acknowledge her with a quick nod then banked to the right to come back to land while she just flew downwards since she had way more manoeuvrability than I did.  I was now hovering behind twilight’s library gently nearing the ground then made contact with it. I took a quick glance at the instruments and I was shocked to see that the fuel gauge was a 100% (“what is this fuckery before I got here I distinctly remember having around at least half a tank of fuel left, either this is another gift from the princess or I’m just lucky but  anyways I gave infinite fuelz!!!”) I thought to myself before shutting of the engine and clambering out of the craft to the ground.

I was greeted by rainbow dash who looked very exhausted. “THAT WAS AWESOME” she shouted though heavy breathing. “heh heh you weren’t too bad yourself dash pulling of that sonic rainboom I knew they were rare but I didn’t know you could pull it off just like that, It defiantly beats a boring old sonic boom any day and to be honest you won that race by miles” I said stroking her ego which caused her to blush lightly

“you look exhausted why don’t you come with me to twilights where I make some lunch sound good” I asked “that fine by me” she replied when she tried to fly she just fell to the floor and again when she tried to walk. I chuckled a bit at this “here let me carry you obviously can’t seem to stand on your own four legs” I said as I moved towards and scooped her into my arms and carried her round to the front of twilights house, she obviously didn’t object to me picking her up, but before I got though the front door I could hear a what sounded like a large crowd growing closer.

I turned around and saw a massive crowd of ponies and if I’m not mistaken they were all cheering mine and rainbow dashes names, obviously they had seen the little stunt show we had made a few moments ago. I was now surrounded by dozens of ponies cheering us and asking questions like “how did you that” etc. so I just simply told them that with enough training it was easy they all seemed to take the bait and as I motioned for them to leave they moaned a bit but eventually left, I was still holding rainbow who looked like she was about to fall asleep again so I proceeded inside the library with the worn out Pegasus in my arms.

..................

It was now 07:00 pm, rainbow dash had gone after lunch saying she had some things to do, I was sitting on the sofa with my eyes glued to my laptop while twilight was yet again reading another book, I had spent the last few hours going through all of my music making a playlist worthy for tomorrow night at the club, I decided to turn in early as I wanted to make sure that I would be able to stay awake all night at the club. I saved the playlist and shut off my laptop and walked towards the basement I called my room “night twilight I hitting the hay early” “oh alright well I going to finish reading this book then I’m off to bed too goodnight matrix” and with that I went downstairs to bed, and remarkably I slept without waking up in the middle of the night covered In sweat.

I woke up to see the faint rays of celestias sun hit my face through the small window on the other side of the room. I brought my hands up to my face and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes then sat up on my bed “another beautiful day in a beautiful world” I said to myself as I stretched out and flung myself of the bed and got dressed. I emerged from my room to see twilight walking down the stairs from her room, she yawned putting a hoof to her mouth before speaking “good morning matrix did you sleep well” “actually twilight I slept amazing, better than I had in ages” I replied before yawning myself which she did as well (“her yawning is contagious”) “well I’m going to make breakfast sound good” I said after I had stopped yawning “oh yes that sounds nice” she said and with that I walked into the kitchen and shut the door.

Twilight was curious why he had shut the door behind him and so the walked up to kitchen and was about to open the door when it before and matrix peered his head round the door and quickly spoke “oi no peaking” I said quickly shutting it again. She could hear the sounds of kitchen utensil being moved around and the occasional clatter of a pan falling with the sound of matrix cursing under his breath she gave up wondering what he was doing in there and sat down and the table and waited.

Ten minutes later I came out of the kitchen carrying a tray with three plates that had three fairly large stacks of steaming pancakes on them he set the tray down on the table and handed twilight her plate and moved the over two of as well before going back into the kitchen with the tray and came back out with jars of honey, treacle, syrup and a small cup of sugar and some cutlery and sat down at the table then called out “HEY SPIKE BREAKFAST IS READY!!” I heard a small thud and the sound of footsteps moving quickly from upstairs and then the baby dragon appeared from the bedroom. After nearly falling from running down stairs spike sat himself at the table and we all began to eat.

Twilight was halfway through eating a pancake when she saw me putting large amounts of sugar and all the other stuff onto my pancakes I saw this and asked her “what’s up twilight you don’t like my cooking I’m not really the best the cook” “no there fine in fact there great but can I ask why your putting all that stuff onto yours” I stared at her with my mouth hung open holding my fork with part of my pancake halfway between my face and my plate “what? have you never tried them this way there my own special blend that took a while to get right” I showed her how to make my special blend and did the same with spike who was also curious to try I watched them as they took a bite then the froze after chewing for a second.

The finally swallowed there mouthfuls while I just sat there in anticipation “these…..are…..AMAZING!” they both said at the same time before wolfing the rest down “ha-ha I told you, you would like them” I said before finishing my own.

About an hour later I was sitting next to a window in the library looking out at the scenery thinking of something to do today but nothing came to mind. I looked away from the window to see twilight busy in her studies writing away (“does she ever stop studying”) I thought to myself before looking back out the window at the sky then a thought came to mind. I looked back towards twilight who was levitating over a quill and ink. Then on the table near her I saw my helmet sitting where I had left it yesterday. Then I had an Idea

“Hey twilight you wouldn’t happen to have any art equipment by any chance” “yes I do it’s in the closet over there but I don’t use it why?” “oh I was just thought of a way to keep myself from dying of boredom before tonight” I said as I made my over to the closet and got out a few pencils some paints of all sorts two brushes and a paint pallet there was also a small ladder/stool that I took out as well. I put all the equipment on the table then went to my room to grab my iPod and earphones.

After fetching them I went back upstairs and began carrying the art stuff outside.

I walked round to the back of the library where my jet was still standing there in all its glory. I smiled as I walked up towards the powerful grey machine running my hand along its nose. Then I set up the ladder/stool next to it and sat down picking up the paint pallet and putting small blobs of paint onto it. I pulled out my iPod and looked through my images until I found the one I wanted to draw. I picked a paint brush and dipped it in some black paint and started to paint the image on my iPod onto the jet.

I had merely drawn one line onto the nose I felt a hoof touch my back. I jumped of the stool falling to the floor in shock but surprisingly I didn’t end up covered in paint I looked up to see twilight was holding the pallet and brush with her magic “twilight you scared me, is there something you want” I asked as I got back to my feet and picked up my iPod which had dropped to floor but I quickly locked it so she couldn’t see what I was painting “I was curious to see what you were doing which may I ask what are you doing?” She said

“well there was a little tradition in my squad that we used to do, when we had done something special or saw something that inspired us we used to paint whatever that was onto the side of our aircraft, that’s what I was doing before you made me jump” “oh right sorry about that can I ask what your painting” she asked “sorry twilight but that is for me to know and for you find out” I tapped my nose to emphasise the point “oh ok well I’ll let you get back to it then” she handed me the pallet and brush then walked back into the library. I picked up the stool and sat back down and took out my iPod unlocked and pulled up the image again whilst putting in my earphones. I then started to continue painting whilst listening to some ‘inspiring’ music whilst thinking to myself (“when rainbow see’s this she’ll be in for a surprise”).

It was 07:50 pm on Sunday, I had finished painting on the side of my jet and I had to quickly run back into the library to grab a large piece of cloth to cover it up so nopony could see it. I wanted it to be a surprise.

I was now at the club vinyl told me about. I was in the VIP booth with vinyl going through my music playlist for the night. She seemed impressed with what I had lined up for tonight. She then gestured me to follow her over the stage where the turntables were set up. I put my laptop on the table and looked for the cable’s that led to the speakers I found them and thank celestia they actually fit into my laptop. I did a little sound check to make sure they did work and they did.

Vinyl floated over a pair of mikes and plugged them in and also did a sound check and was greeted with the same results. The club was now open but we didn’t start for another five minutes and already ponies where flooding into the club and I was getting loud very quickly. I could hear a few ponies saying that there was meant to be a new DJ trying out tonight that was obviously knew that was me but how did that get around so fast.

“I bet vinyl has something to do with this and possibly pinkie pie” I looked over the crowd of ponies to see the mane 6 walk through the front entrance, I waved to them and they came over to the VIP booth but were stopped by security,

“It’s alright guys I know them, let em in” I said to the to two ponies at the VIP entrance and they let them past “thanks matrix we heard from rainbow dash that you were working at the club here tonight so we all decided to come cheer you on” said twilight “aw thanks guys I appreciate that why don’t you go sit at the table over there and get yourself comfortable me and vinyl are about to start” I replied and as soon as I said that vinyl had put on her shades and begun playing some of her own music to get the night rolling.

The crowd started to cheer as she worked to tables for the first part of tonight and I must admit she was good at what she does ponies were bobbing their heads to the beat as it blared out from the multiple speakers around the room. As the song came to an end she pulled down the mic and begun to speak

“HEY THERE PONYVILLE CAN I HEAR YOU SHOUT” the crowd let out a loud roar excitement “ok now I know that some of you heard that tonight there is going to be a new DJ tonight well that is 100% true now I want you to give him your attention because tonight he’s gonna run the show so here he is MATRIX!” she pointed her hoof at me and I walked up to the stage.

Some of the crowd cheered whilst some were a bit shocked to see me up there but they would be thinking otherwise after tonight. Vinyl moved to the side to let me take over and I pulled the mic to my face “hey there ponyville are you ready to party!”

I was replied with a small cheer

“oh come on what was that louder”

they cheered a bit louder

“louder”

they cheered even louder

“I SAID LOUDER!!!”

I said now shouting down the mic. this time the crowd cheered so loud they could have blown the roof off even the mane 6 were joining in but rainbow was shouting so loud she could’ve even put pinkie pie or the CMC to shame

. “Ok now that your already let’s get this party started” I went over to my laptop put on the first song on my playlist.

When the music started the crowd started to move but only but when the main drop came in I put it up to full blast. everpony became entranced in the song and were dancing wildly to the song even the main 6 where dancing and even more surprisingly was fluttershy

Then when the singing came in eveyrpony slowed down

Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah,

Get a feeling that I never,

never never never had before no no

I get a good feeling, yeah

Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah,

Get a feeling that I never,

never never never had before no no

I get a good feeling, yeah

But when the beat came back in they instantly went wild again I was bobbing my head like mad whilst holding a pair of earphones to one ear. vinyl was head banging so hard I thought she was going to literally break her neck. Then the next thing caught me off guard she jumped over the stage and was crowd surfing I nearly thought of doing it but realised that they wouldn’t be able to hold me up. I looked over to the mane six and they were loving it, “man if this is what it’s like now they’re gonna have a hard time keeping it up” Then the song faded out and I quickly pulled up the next song. David Guetta’s ‘where them girls at’ I had made sure that it was the censored version i had done that with all the other songs and if I couldn't find them I just had to do it myself with some difficulty but I got there in the end.

Stop previous song and play this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4kVWCSzfK4&ob=av3e

I pulled the mic a bit so I could sing along to the male parts of the song since I knew the lyrics fairly well

Stop music

When the song ended I was given another roar of applause from the crowd I quickly pulled the next song on the list and pressed play

play this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEPB7uzKuh4

When the song came in I started singing into the mic

When I'm falling down

Will you pick me up again?

When I'm too far gone

Dead in the eyes of my friends

Will you take me out of here when I'm staring down the barrel

When I'm blinded by the lights, when I cannot see your face?

Take me out of here

Take me out of here

Take me out of here

(When the beat dropped all hell broke loose as the crowd was instantly dancing and shouting wildly to the music)

All I believe, and all I've known

Are being taken from me, can't get home

Yeah, do your worst, when worlds collide

Let their fear collapse, bring no surprise

Take me out of here

Feed the fire, break your vision

Throw your fists up, come on with me

Feed the fire, break your vision

Throw your fists up, come on with me

Feed the fire, break your vision

Throw your fists up, come on with me

Feed the fire, break your vision

Throw your fists up, come on with me

Stop music

When the song ended I was given another round of shouts and cheers. The mane six where now standing around me also cheering me on. I turned towards vinyl and asked her “het vinyl you wouldn’t happen to have a spell that can make someone dance better would you?

She took a moment to think then replied “yeah I do why you wanna know?  “Yes!! Oh no reason it’s just I have an idea for the next song” was my answer what I had in mind was probably gonna surprise them “well ok then stand still” then her horn began to glow and I felt a slight tingly feeling flow through my body then her horn stopped glowing and I felt normal again. Right now let’s see if this works “thanks vinyl” I said before turning around back to my laptop and pulling up the next song.

at the club part 2

I woke up on the floor with my against the turntable’s, my vision somewhat blurry, my head felt like I had been hit by a rock, a

very large rock. I moved my hands up to my throbbing head to try and sooth the ever growing pain but to no avail.

“God this is one hell of a hangover how much apple cider did I drink, well a lot because my stomach --feels like I’m gonna hurl and I don’t care whatever other people said in there fanfics that the apple family’s cider is weak to them, that shit is proper good, hard stuff”.

My vision had finally gone back to normal and now I could the full extent of the state of the club, while some of the ponies had left to get home early the vast majority stayed behind after my performance and where now lying all over the place vinyl was next to me with her hoof around her mare friend Octavia and both were passed out. To my left I could see five of the mane six and they too were passed out but were was the six. I kept looking around until I hear some pony snoring from in front of me. I looked downwards and I saw rainbow fast asleep on my lap.

“I said this once but I’ll say it again, god she looks so cute when she’s sleeping”. Speaking in my head and letting out a quiet chuckle. I leaned back against the table putting my arms behind and my head and let a sigh trying to recall last night’s events.

Flashback

After vinyl had performed the spell, I quickly pulled the next song and walked onto the dance floor. The mane six looked confused as to what I was doing as where many other ponies. Well I had a surprise for them.

When the song came in I started to dance but let me tell you something I can’t dance for shit but now I felt like I could do anything

Play this in new tab and start from around 0:30 mins and watch whole vid. You’ll get the idea of what he danced like then http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ6zr6kCPj8&ob=av2n.

I was doing moves I never thought I could do like flips and spins and all that stuff and when the song had ended I had only realized that a dance circle had formed around me and I was given another round of cheering and shouting. I walked back up the stage where vinyl was standing there with another with dark grey coat “my guess that’s Octavia” where just looking at me in awe.

“Sooooo did I pass or fail” I asked her

“HECK YEAH YOU DID THAT WAS THE BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN, YOU ARE OFFICIALLY HIRED” she replied

“But you need a name though what should it be” she said

“How about……..DJ humanz, does that sound good?”

“Yeah that sounds cool. I’ll make sure to spread the word later and who’s your friend?” I asked

“Oh well let me introduce you matrix this is Octavia, Octavia matrix” said vinyl

“It’s a pleasure to meet you matrix and I must say what a very good performance you have put on”

“Likewise Miss Octavia and thanks” I relied

“Please just call me Octavia no need for formalities and any friend of my vinyl is a friend of mine” she said giggling slightly

"Well that's ok then Octavia but right now……wait……. did you just call her ‘your vinyl’?”

“Yes she did she’s my mare friend” said vinyl who then moved to Octavia and muzzled her neck. I had completely forgotten that they were a pair/shipping. "Well I guess this also proves that fact".

“Well I would love to stay and watch you to make out but I still have a club to run”. I then quickly turned back to my laptop to put another song on and I choose rock and roll by skrillex and the rest of the playlist to keep the night going. I then turned my attention to the mane 6 and walked over to them. Rainbow dash and applejack both had large drinks which I guessed must be apple cider while the others had some other form of weaker drinks.

I sat on a chair at their table and began to speak.

“So guys watch do you think of me tonight then eh”

“You were awesome” said dash “in fact now I think your 20% cooler in my books now” she said with a slight slur in her voice

“she must be getting a bit tipsy from whatever she having”

“You ok dash you sound like you’re a bit tipsy, what are you drinking”

“I’m fine matrix and I was just about to challenge AJ to an apple cider drinking contest”

“Hehe I wanna get a piece of that action, you can count me in”

“you sure a’ bout that sugarcube this her apple cider is some quite strong stuff”

“Applejack comrade I think I know when I can handle a few drinks now hand pass me the cider and let me show you how we do it back home” I said in my best Russian accent, they all giggled at my terrible yet funny accent then pinkie passed me a large drink of cider from out of know were and passed it to me

“I’m not even gonna ask how you did that” I said picking up the drink in my hands and taking a swig of it. I put it down on the table and said

“Now that is some bloody good stuff” I said

“now watch how a pro does it”

I tilted my head back and drank the whole drink in one. I slammed the empty cup down on the table and let out the longest loudest burp ever. They others all just looked at me with their mouths agape

“What? Something I did”

“Nope jus surprised sugarcube” replied AJ

“Well then still think you both can take me on”

“Buck yeah we can” said RD

“Well then………let’s see who goes down first 1…..2…..3…..GO!”

End flashback, Present

"Well that was one hell of a night but what I don’t get is how I ended on the floor with vinyl next to me and Rd on my lap, well some things just can’t be answered”.

“Well I think it’s time I got up now” I said out loud. I managed to pry of the sleeping cyan mare who again was hugging my chest thank god she’s a heavy sleeper and drunk. I tried standing up to see how sober I was and surprisingly I could stand with nearly falling over but to be honest I’ve been falling over a lot lately.

I turned to the stage and proceeded to pack up my laptop and the rest of the equipment I had brought and put it in my rucksack backstage and when I came back ponies where starting to wake up but the mane six, vinyl and Octavia where still out cold. I went round to each of them and woke them up as peacefully as I possibly could and it worked…….for almost every pony.

RD was still asleep “honestly how can she do that, note to self-make sure not to go overkill with the apple cider” vinyl told me that the club was gonna be closed for a couple of days to handle the mess and get restocked and stuff and she handed me my pay of 200 bits “not bad for a night’s work I guess”.

Twilight and co where now wide awake and where feeling a lot more sober that last night all except for the cyan mare who was still asleep so I did the gentleman thing and carried her back to the library with twilight while every pony else went back to their homes.

When we got to the library I walked down to my room still holding the sleeping Pegasus and put her into the bed. I pulled the cover over her and was about to leave the room when a thought came to mind “why the hell not” thinking to myself as I turned around and quickly gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. She seemed to smile when I walked away quickly grabbing my guitar and leaving the room to let her sleep.

Matrix POV

It had been an hour since I had put the sleeping Pegasus in bed and yet she still hadn’t woken up “well that’s heavy sleepers for ya!”  I was sitting on the sofa in twilight’s living room playing/singing owl city’s ‘to the sky’ on my guitar, images of RD in my mind as I played.

play this

Shipwreck in a sea of faces

There's a dreamy world up there

Dear friends in higher places

Carry me away from here

Travel light, let the sun eclipse you

'Cause your flight is about to leave

And there's more to this brave adventure

Than you'd ever believe

Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you

Wide eyes will always brighten the blue

Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery

'Cause after all those wings will take you up so high

So bid the forest floor goodbye

As you race the wind and take to the sky

You take to the sky

On the heels of war and wonder

There's a stormy world up there

You can't whisper above the thunder

But you can fly anywhere

Purple burst of paper birds this

Picture paints a thousand words

So take a breath of myth and mystery

And don't look back

Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you

Wide eyes will always brighten the blue

Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery

'Cause after all those wings will take you up so high

So bid the forest floor goodbye

As you race the wind and take to the sky

(Take to the sky)

(As begun the solo I hadn’t noticed the door to my room open slightly as I was being watched by a certain blue Pegasus)

There's a realm above the trees

Where the lost are finally found

Touch your feathers to the breeze

And leave the ground

Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you

Wide eyes will always brighten the blue

Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery

'Cause after all those wings will take you up so high

So bid the forest floor goodbye

As you race the wind and take to the sky

You take to the sky

(You take to the sky)

You take to the sky

End music.

As I finished the song I heard hoof steps coming from the stairs, I turned my head and I saw twilight walking down the stairs she must have heard my singing.

“Hey twilight you alright”

“Yes, I’m fine, thanks, that was a really beautiful song you just played, what’s it’s called

It called ‘to the sky’ by owl city. It’s one of my favourites and listening to his music calms me, and it reminded me of a certain pony that has caught my attention a few days ago” I say in a very relaxed tone

“And who is this certain pony” she asked

Fuck I said too much “erm no one you’ll know” yes saved It.

“Well I’m going out to do some things. You don’t mind being on your own do you?”

“Of course not I’ve got my own plans for later anyway, see you later Twi”

“See you later matrix” replied twilight then she walked out the front door closing it behind her.

I sit there for a few minutes enjoying the peace until Paranoia took over again and I immediately begin to scan to room to see if I was being watched. My gaze comes to the door to my room and I see that it is open slightly but as I look closer I can see that there is some pony there, they must have noticed I was looking at them because they let out a small gasp before running downstairs.

Play this in a new tab for the mood mood music

I let out a small chuckle and put down my guitar before making my way over to ‘my’ room and went down the stairs. I then saw rainbow dash in the bed pretending to be asleep. Although it looked convincing I knew she was faking it, I just smirked at this and walked over to the side of the bed and sat down, I raised my hand onto her head and stroked her multi-coloured mane.

She seemed to smile a bit from me stroking her mane, she obviously enjoyed it, so I thought I would do this again to surprise her and see her reaction, I leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek again, when I kissed her, her eyes shot open a turned her head towards me.

“Hehe I knew you weren’t asleep, I saw you watching me playing on my guitar a minute ago and also you’ve been acting strange ever since I got here, and out of curiosity I want to know why you’ve been acting odd.

She mumbled something that I couldn’t understand and she looked at me with her amazing crimson eyes. She didn’t say anything so I stood up looking at her and simply said

“Rainbow it’s ok if you can’t say what you want to say so I’ll come back later when you’ve sorted your emotions out yeah” and with that I picked up my backpack with my stuff in it and slung it over my shoulder but before I got to the bottom of the stairs rainbow called out

“Matrix wait!”

I stopped and put my bag down

“What’s wrong rainbow-OOF” Before I could turn around I was tackled to the ground on my back by dash locking her lips with mine. After a few seconds she broke the kiss and just stood there on my chest looking at me, I was dumbstruck at her sudden outburst, my mouth couldn’t move at all or even produce words. She looked like she was on the verge of tears and looked away from me

“i-i-im sorry matrix, I don’t know what came over me, I can understand if you don’t want to be near me or anything”

What surprised her was that I pulled her face back to face me, I smiled then pulled her into another kiss. This time I broke the kiss and looked into her beaming eyes.

“Now why in god’s name would I not want to be your friend, ever since I got here you’ve been acting strange ‘but’ only around me, I didn’t notice at first but I then realised why…….you like me don’t you…..dashie”

She blushed slightly when I said her nickname

“Yes….I do, it’s just that there’s something about you that I like but can’t put my hoof on it, and then there’s all those things that you’ve been through, they reminded me of my own memories of being bullied back in flight school”.

Now she was crying again into my chest so I put my arms around her and rested my head on hers trying to comfort her as much as I could, I then sat up with the Pegasus in my arms.

“Hey, hey come let’s not talk about that now, that’s all in the past, just try and forget about it, also I like you to” I said whilst hugging her, she hugged me back the pulled away from me with teary eyes and a smile on her face.

“Dash…..do you want to now a secret”

“Yeah, tell me”

“Well I was hoping to say this later but here goes, you the show my little pony that I showed you and I said that some people back on earth say they have their favourite character’s”

“Yes why?”

“Well back on earth you were my favourite of the show, I didn’t exactly have a crush on you but that was because to me back then I thought you weren’t real, but now that I’m here it’s become more than a crush”

Her smile grew bigger as she leaned forward and kissed me again, she broke the kiss and looked at me with a happier expression then spoke.

“So….does that mean were….

“Colt friend and mare friend, yes if you want to be and we can keep it secret for now if you want to”

“But we’ve only known each other for three days”

“Hey don’t worry about that, we have plenty of time to get to know each other then plus I’m surprised that your actually wanting to go through with this, I mean were not even the same species but looks don’t matter, its what’s on the inside that counts from what is was told” I said putting on a smile

“I guess your right” she says before pulling me into another hug which I return. We sit there for a few minutes enjoying each other’s embrace before we break the hug.

“Well dashie I’ve got some things to do I’ll see you later ok”

“Ok matrix I’ve got my own things to do too” she says as I stand up to leave but not before she fly’s up to me and plants another kiss on my lips

“By the way when you were playing the song earlier you said it reminded you of some pony, who was it?”

“Isn’t it obvious” I said giving her a wink, she responded with a wink as well before flying up the stairs and of to wherever she’s going, I just sat there trying to understand what just happened.

end song

Ok, I’ve only been here three/four days and already the majority of the town accept me, I’m friends with the mane 6, I have a job and small reputation as a DJ and now I have rainbow dash, my favourite pony as my mare friend. This is all happening so fast, am I on a fucking luck streak or something because it sure bloody feels like it, and I’m liking it, a lot.

I broke out of my thought trance and remembered what I was going to do today. I walked over to where I had dropped my rucksack and rummaged through it, finding what I was looking for.

My berretta 9mm, my combat knife and penknife.

I’m going to need to keep myself in shape and train a bit, haven’t done any in a while and I hope that I never have to use these but it would be wise to get some extra practise but I gotta go easy on the ammo, unlucky enough that I don’t have infinite everything .

With that thought in mind I put them back in the rucksack, slung it over my shoulder and walked upstairs’

I was feeling a little peckish so I quickly grabbed and apple from the kitchen twilight won’t mind, I’ll pay her back, whilst grabbing my iPod also and left out the door and headed towards applejacks farm………. hoping I was going in the right direction.

Half an hour later I’m standing in the middle of a clearing in the apple orchard, I had asked AJ if I she had any wide open spaces for me to train in and do other stuff, she happily said yes, I also asked if she had any spare hay bales and paint which she had, she asked me why I needed any of this stuff so I simply said “it’ll all help me in training, trust me”.

I had three hay bales set up against the treeline with makeshift targets painted on them. I was using another bale as a table for my gear.  On said table laid my pistol with the extra magazines, I was practising throwing my combat knife at the hay bales, let’s just say when I first tried it, I sucked, but after a few tries It was easy, I could hit the bulls eye or somewhere near it. Satisfied I could throw my knife at a target I walked back over to my make shift table and picked up my gun,

I pulled back then slide and held it with both hands facing the target in a sturdy stance. I inhaled and then exhaled slowly and pulled the trigger, I absorbed the recoil and lowered the barrel and went to inspect the target, not too far from the middle, not bad, thankfully the guns hadn’t made much noise and I was pretty far out in the orchard so no pony would have heard me unless they came looking for me.

I walked back over to the bale and lined back up to take another shot repeating the technique from the previous attempt, but before I could pull the trigger a burst of three bullets came shooting past me from behind and hit the tree a few metres in front of me

“THE FUCK” I shouted before diving behind the bale that would serve as cover, I leaned back against it with my combat knife in one hand and my gun in the other. “Ok who the fuck is this and how do they have a gun!”  I peer over the top of my cover and try to see where my attacker is but can’t see any visual of them so what I did next was stupid, I got up from behind my cover and held my weapons in a tactical knife position.

“OK WHOEVER’S OUT THERE FUCKING SHOW YOURSELF?”

I heard a rustling noise from the tree directly in front of me, I could something moving around in the canopy of said tree so I fired of a warning shot at the base of the tree.

“WHOA WHOA WHOA easy there I’m not gonna hurt you” came a male voice

“Well then show yourself!” I answered with my weapons still raised, whoever it was took their sweet time climbing down from the tree. When he finally climbed down I got a good look at him.

He was a unicorn, he had a brown coat, brown mane and tail and brown eyes and His cutie mark from what I could make out from behind his saddle bags is a 5.56mm round standing, the tip pointing upwards and at his side he was holding a pistol that looked like a crude rundown version of a colt .45. “okay this does not look like your average pony”

“Ok who are you, how did you find me and where did you even get a gun?”

“Ok first things first I’m not an Equestrian pony. You don’t say, I come from the Republic of Karalia, it borders Equestria and the Changeling nation. It's a gritty nation, and the zebras or 'Insurrectionists' are constantly rebelling against it, and the changelings harass our borders.

Never heard of those places before and wtf is a changeling, I might want to have a chat with the princesses about this later

“well I’ve never heard of those places, well up until now at least, and why are you here?”

“To simply get away from it all” he stated

“Well I can say that you’re defiantly not trying to kill me so I think introductions are in order my names matrix and I’m the only human in Equestria”.

“My names Sean silverstein but you can call me silver”

I cringed when he said that and turned to look away

“hey dude are you ok, was it something I said”

“Yeah I’m fine it’s just that I had a friend that was called silver not long ago”

“What happened to him?”

“He’s………he’s gone”

“Oh…..I’m sorry you have my condolences”

“Thanks” I said

“Hey you said you’re a human, right, you wouldn’t happen to be the DJ humanz right”

“Yeah how’d you know?”

“Dude I may have only been here for a few days but news travels fast around here I can tell you”

“Hehe you aren’t wrong about that, and like a said before where’d you get a gun?”

“The other guy didn’t need it”

“Well it none of my business but how good can you shoot” I asked

“I can hold my own” he replied

I turned back towards the targets and unleashed a volley of bullets at the closest one, the gun made a clicking noise telling me the mag was empty, I pulled out the empty clip and placed it onto the hay bale with the rest of my gear

“Dude that was impressive”

“Thanks” I looked back at my gear and came to a realisation “damn I only got two clips left”

“I can help with that” said silver as with horn began to glow and he grabbed hold of my pistol and it was encased in brown/yellow aura as he did whatever he was doing to my gun, the suddenly the gun seemed to split and now there was two of them and they both had some cool looking design’s etched into the sides. When he finished he dropped them both back into my hands, he was panting slightly but he regained his composure enough to speak

“Well I hope you like them there both enchanted now so they have unlimited ammunition and don’t need repairs”

“Man, are you bloody kidding me that was cool do you think you could make another copy of my holster” I said pointing to it of the bale.

“Of course” he said then proceeded to make another copy of it

“Thanks” I said

“Hey no probs” he said whilst waving a hoof in front of him.

“Well I think I’ve had enough training today do you fancy coming back to town with me silver”

“I don’t see why not” he replied

“Ok just give me a few minutes to pack up my gear”

He nodded at me before putting his gun away inside his saddle bags

“Can I ask you sommat” I said

“Yeah what’s up?”

“Why did you try to shoot me?”

“Well one I wanted to get your attention and two I wanted to see your reaction"

"fair enough" i replied before we set of towards the town

20 minutes later

We had finally got back to the town and were walking through the market area. My and silver had explained to each other a bit about ourselves and shared a laugh or two, silver’s actually quite an ok guy once you get to know him I was still curious how he had a gun but that would have to wait for later he also told me he was staying at the local inn somewhere on the other side of town for now until he could find work.

We were now in the town square part of the market and ponies were going around their daily business, I’m surprised no one had recognized me yet which was good because I didn’t want to get swarmed after last night’s performance, I was feeling hungry so I offered to buy silver some grub but before he could answer my gaze was caught towards a blue Pegasus on the other side of the street next to a fruit stand surrounded by three Pegasus stallions rainbow dash? And who are these guys?

I could now see clearly that is was rainbow and she was forced up against the wall of fruit stand with the three pegasi surrounding her and from what I could hear they were insulting her. Her gaze fell upon me beckoned me with pleading eyes to desperately help her out. I looked towards my new found friend and dropped my bag and pulled out my combat knife

“Silver, watch my stuff please for a minute”

“Sure but what are you planning?”

“Oh nothing just planning on kicking some ponies ass” I said enthusiastically  as I begun the sneak up behind the group where I could hear then more clearly. I waited until the one that was closest to RD was standing by the stand got my knife ready. He was almost in her face now.

“Hahaha guys look here rainbow crash is all alone and cant do anything about it, right fellas” He said to his lackey’s who laughed in agreement as he turned back towards dash, what happened next from what I saw pretty much nearly made him shit himself as my knife flew right past his face and embedded itself in a melon on the stand next to him. His eyes turned to the size of saucer’s as he was staring at the knife that had merely missed his face by inches then someone called out

“HEY FUCKNUTS, LEAVE HER ALONE!” I shouted as I slowly walked over to him looking intimidating as possible. The look on their faces said it all.

what's up readers RM here, hope you liked the new chapter and sorry it took a while i had to try and proof read it myself since silverstien222 said he had to resign from being my pre reader because right now things for him have gotten worked up sooooooo yeah sorry if this chapter is a little bit odd in anyway. but were still friends silver will still be part of my story's as well as matrix in his.so now im looking for a new pre reader or two if you would like to volunteer to be my pre reader/s just send me a PM this is RM laters

also have some muffins for you being you  

new powers activate!

The lead stallion just looked at me with a look of fear on his face but then it quickly changed back to the one before and he was looking at me like I was nothing heh smug bastard. I took a good look at him and from I could see he had a dark brown coat and a short grey/silver mane and tail, he had a dumbbell for a cutie mark

“Where have I seen you before?”

“Who the hay are you?” he said in a mocking tone

“Oh I’m just the guy who’s gonna kick some pony’s flank if they lay a hoof on my friend here” I say while gesturing a hand towards dash

“oh well look what we have here guys, some pony who thinks there such a bad flank, we’ll deal with rainbow crash later, let’s get him first” he then let out a whistle and from out of nowhere as it seems two more pegasi fly in and land on either side of him, then they all spread out forming a circle around me in the middle of the street.

“Five to one you’re outnumbered” said the leader again

“Bitch…..please, now I’m going to ask you again, you either leave her alone or I’m gonna have to open a can of whoop ass on ‘you’re’ ass.

“Ha-ha you think you’re so tough let’s see you try to get out of this one” he said

“Ok it’s fucking go time” I replied

music link

*this represents certain lyrics at certain times in the song*

I went into a defensive fighting stance, I was just waiting for them to make their move first but I didn’t have to wait that long for them to make that move, but I was ready. They slowly started to walk around me inching closer while I was shifting my gaze from one of them to another.

“Come on you asshole’s, make. My. Day”

*we are the prodigy*

They all lunged at me at the same time taking to the air slightly to gain height over me, but they are bloody idiots because I simply ducked down to the ground to avoid this, they realised to late and their heads all connected and not a second later I threw an uppercut that connected with all their heads, making a thundering sound as loud as a sonic boom, sending them flying back in different directions. I stood up in went into a fighting stance that’s when I looked my hands, they had a faint glowing grey aura around them and my fist didn’t seem to hurt when I had thrown that punch.

“Whoa…..FUCKING COOL!”

But that moment was short lived as I tackled by one of the Pegasus lackey’s, I fell onto my back but I kicked him in the gut and sent him of and I did a backwards roll and regained my stance. Then I felt something brush up against the back of my leg. I turned my head and I saw silver standing on his hind legs in a similar fighting stance.

“You ok there matrix”

“Yeah I’m good, alright lets kick there asses”

And yet again the five pegasi had recovered and had circled us again; I looked at my hands and they still the glowing aura around them, I then had an idea.

“Silver when I say jump, do it, got it”

“Alright”

The five pegasi charged at us again but from the ground this time, but I had a trick up my sleeve.

“SILVER JUMP NOW!”

When he jumped into the air I pounded the ground and what happened next completely blew my mind.

*invaders must die*

Time seemed to slow when my fist connected with the ground, it sent up a wall of dirt around me and silver as well as a small shockwave sending the pegasi flying back again. When the dust settled I was still in the same position. I stood and looked at what I had just done.

“Ok…….WHAT THE IN THE NAME OF FUCK WAS THAT!”

I simply stared at my hands they still had the grey aura around them and yet they still didn’t hurt. But again the moment was short lived as three of the pegasi where getting back up, the other two where unconscious on the floor.

“Do these guys ever bloody give up at all?”

Silver stood at my side looking ready for another round as was I.

One charged first at silver but he timed it just right and swung round and brought his hind legs up to the Pegasus’s face, sending him sprawling on the floor. Then the other two lunged for me, I brought up my fist and brought it down on one’s heads slamming him to then floor knocking him out. Now the last one left was the leader. He charged at me but I made a round house kick to his face. Sending him flying into the same stall where dash had taken refuge behind.

*Stop music*

Satisfied that the rest were unconscious….for now at least, I made my way over to where the leader was holding his head over on the stand. I picked him up by his neck and slammed him back down before pulling my knife out from the melon I had thrown it at earlier  and held between his eyes let’s have a little fun with this git

“Now let’s try this again are you going to leave dash alone now or do I have to literally break you

“…..y-y-yes sir…..” he almost whispered

“What was that speak up for fuck’s sake”

“y-y-y-yes sir” he said a bit louder

“BULLSHIT I STILL CAN’T HEAR YOU SOUND OFF LIKE YOU GOT A PAIR!”

“YES I PROMISE I WONT HURT DASH AGAIN” he near shouted

“Now you listen hear and you listen good” I spoke as intimidating as I could with my knife still held between his eyes

“If I ever hear that you or your friends here so much as hurt, make fun of or even look funny at dash or any pony for that matter” I raised my knife and brought it down on the shelf next to his head with a loud ‘thunk’.

“I will personally come and find you and RIP OUT YOUR EYE BALLS AND SKULL FUCK YOU!” I shouted in his face before dropping him, letting him slide onto the floor.

“Now take your buddies and get the fuck out of my site” he was more than happy to oblige my request as he went to go wake up his buddy’s and quickly flew away.

I stood there watching as the three excuses for pegasi carrying the two others that were still unconscious fly off before I went behind the stall to find dash curled up in a ball crying. I sat down next to her and put my hand which had now stopped glowing into her mane and stroked it. she looked up to see who it was and when she saw it was me she leapt into my arms wrapping me into a tight hug, head buried into my chest, crying her eyes out.

“shhhh its ok now dash there gone now and they won’t hurt you anymore, not while I’m around” her grip on me tightened as did mine, no-one was looking so I brought her head up to face me and quickly kissed her. When I broke the kiss she had stopped crying and was now smiling at me with a slightly reddened face

“Thank you matrix, for stopping those guys, they’re the ones who mocked me back in flight school…..I thought I finally managed to ditch them”

“I thought I recognised that twat”

“Hey it’s alright, I’m here for you, remember that” I pulled her into another hug

“Ahem…….I hope I’m not interrupting anything am I” said silver sticking his head from around the corner of the stall. I mouthed the words “one minute” to him; he just simply nodded and walked of in front of the stall.

“So are you ok now dashie” I said with a smile whilst rubbing her cheek with my thumb.

“Yeah, I’m fine now, thanks mat”

“Already giving me a nickname eh”

“What is there something wrong with that” she asked mockingly

“Nnope”

“Hehe thought so”

“Well I think I need to go to see twilight about this” I said standing up holding RD

“Because I’m not sure why my hands were glowing then and how they aren’t hurting at all”

“Yeah what was up with that” said dash

“To be honest I have no clue, buts let’s go”

“Ok”

I let her down and she walked besides me as we came out from behind the stall and I took a look at the damage.

“Damn, did I do that?” I said looking at a few broken stall’s and the small crater from where I had punched the ground.

“Yep you sure did” said silver that came out from somewhere.

“Oh hey there silver, hey dash I’d like you to meet my new friend Sean silverstien and Sean this is my good friend rainbow dash”

“Pleasure to meet you miss dash you may call me silver”

“Please you can call me rainbow”.

“Well now that introductions are out of the way I say we head on over to twilight’s, I’m sure she would like to know about this strange new power that I have suddenly gained but first” I walked over to the stall were I had left my knife and put it in my pocket and I pulled out my bit bag and gave some bits to the owners of the stalls that I had ‘accidently’ trashed. Then all three of us headed of towards the library.

A/N yeah i know this ones a bit short it would have been longer but i kept hitting a writers block with this chapter so i just posted what i got for now any way now i can take a proper brake for a bit hope you liked the chapter anyway RM laters

i was possessed? OK WHAT!!

So I wake up on twilight’s sofa in the library with a pounding headache…..wait…….I just woke up, I don’t remember going to sleep or being in twilight’s library for that matter, I rubbed my temple with my hand and slowly opened my eyes and my gaze fell upon a pair of magenta coloured eye’s leaning over me that belonged to a cyan figure with a rainbow mane ‘rainbow?’ she looked like she’d been crying but what about I wondered, then she smiled and turned her head away to speak to some pony.

“Hey, twilight, silver, he’s coming to” she said before turning back to face me with those magenta eyes and happy smile plastered across her muzzle.

“Hey sleepy head, about time you woke up” she said in a calm relaxed tone

“Well hey there beautiful……erm dash, what happened?” I said still rubbing my head, I tried to sit up but she put a hoof on my chest keeping me from moving.

“You need to stay still and rest, after what happened to you, you’ll need it Twi says” she said sternly

“But what happened? How did I wake up here in the library? Last thing I remember was walking through town with you and silver”

“I’ll be happy to answer that” said a male voice on my left, I turned my head and I saw silver with twilight next to him, she was floating a book and a piece of paper and quill just slightly above her head.

“Well then silver please explain because how the hell did I get here”.

“Well……….” He began

Flashback silver POV 30 minutes prior

Me, rainbow dash and matrix were walking through town square, talking about what happened in the fight, matrix was looking at his hands still in disbelief of what he did and in truth I was as well, he had told us that ‘humans’ where he came from didn’t have magic at all but to be honest I didn’t even know whether to call it magic that he had. Then my stomach reminded me that I was hungry, having not eating any breakfast this morning.

Matrix seemed to hear this as well and his own stomach growled as well so he offered to get us some food. We walked up to the nearest stall where an orange mare with a blonde mane and cowpony hat was selling apples, he bought a small bag of apples and offered one to me and dash and took one for himself then we went on our way to the library again.

After eating our snacks we still had a fair part of the town to cross before we got to the library but that’s when things went bad.

suddenly matrix screamed out in pain, I turned my head towards him and saw him in the floor writhing around in pain.

his hands were glowing in the same glowing aura from the fight earlier but this time it was slowly crawling up his arm and then engulfed his whole body with him still screaming in pain, his eyes were glowing pure white and I could see black lines that looked like flames slowly appear on his arms and where dancing around like it was actually on fire, by now rainbow was standing over him crying heavily ‘she must really care for him that much’ and a small crowd was beginning to form as well.

“Silver we’ve got to get him to the library and fast, twilight might know what’s happening to him” she said with worry in her voice.

I simply nodded and flared my magic and tried to lift him with it and to my surprise he wasn’t that heavy so when I had a decent hold on him rainbow started flying towards the library with me running and levitating the still glowing, writhing in pain human in tow.

A few minutes later we arrived at the library but rainbow didn’t hesitate to barge through the door into the large tree house with me following suit.

“TWILIGHT YOU GOTTA HELP US” she shouted out loud, her outburst had attracted the attention of some pony as I could hear hurried hoof steps from another room and then a door opened on the other side of the main room.

‘I couldn’t tell but I think my mouth was hanging open at what I was gazing at, a lavender coloured unicorn with deep eyes and purple mane with highlights, she was a thing of beauty in my eyes, then I saw her cutie mark on her flank and…..wait no….bad Sean bad Sean’

“Hey, silver are you gonna put him down or what?” said rainbow, it seems that I had zoned out gazing at the unicorn I guessed was called twilight. I nodded to rainbow and carefully placed matrix on the sofa but he was still moving around, his eyes still glowing brightly with the black flames moving on his arms that had now moved up to his neck.

Rainbow was simply staring at him with tear filled eyes and worried look then twilight came over to his side, still floating the book and paper.

“What’s wrong with matrix?” asked twilight

“I don’t know but it can’t be good……he seemed fine after the fight then”-

“He got in a fight, when, how?” asked twilight cutting her of so rainbow told her everything that happened earlier this morning up till now from the fight till him becoming the situation he currently is in. Then twilight went over to him and looked him up and down writing everything down and then she used her horn to ‘I think’ examine him with her magic, after a couple of seconds she stopped then wrote something down on the paper.

“From what I can tell he has some sort magic source that I can’t pinpoint which is odd because he said before that his kind don’t have magic am I right rainbow”

“Yeah your right he did say he didn’t have magic” replied rainbow

“Right, well I have to write to the princess about this”

“Ok you go do that” said rainbow who’s gaze hadn’t left matrix

“Are you ok rainbow” she asked quizzically

“Yeah I’m fine you just go do your letter thing”

“Ok rainbow” she then walked up to me and asked

“Erm hello who are you”

‘Great I had zoned out again and was blindly staring at her….again!’ if there is a deity why do you hate me right now’

“Oh sorry just daydreaming names silver and I’m a friend of your friend here” I said whilst gesturing a hoof towards the struggling human

“Well hello to you to my name is twilight sparkle and any friend of matrix is a friend of ours, but right now I need to send a letter to the princess so if you’ll excuse me” she said then walked of the a desk on the other side of the room, she floated over a new piece of paper and began scribbling down on it then called out.

“SPIKE I HAVE A LETTER FOR YOU TO SEND, QUICKLY!!” she shouted to some pony I think was upstairs but my own thought was answered when I heard a loud grown come from some pony upstairs, I then he heard hoofsteps….no wait they sounded more like claw steps then my attention turned to see a door at the top of the stairs open and out walked and purple and green baby dragon

“I just got back from canterlot and I’m really tired from the trip what so important that you need to-WHAT IS THAT THING!” he said whilst pointing a claw at the struggling human.

“He’s the human I told you about when you got back remember spike” said twilight who had a rolled up scroll in her magic.

“Well what’s wrong with him?” asked the baby dragon

“We don’t know but I hope the princess knows what is wrong so if you would spike could you send this letter please” asked twilight

“Yeah sure give it here then” said spike with a bored like tone, then took a deep breath and then breathed fire on the letter which simply disintegrated into thin air

“Well I’m of back to bed now” he said while storming of back upstairs slamming the door

“Well he seems pissed” I said out loud which earned me a stare from twilight

“Sorry” I quickly apologized but then a bright light engulfed my vision and when it cleared my jaw fell open.

“Princess Celestia, Princess Luna” exclaimed twilight before bowing so I quickly did a she did having not been in the presence of royalty before

“We came as quickly as we could and you may rise twilight sparkle, you as well ‘Sean silverstien”

“How do you know my name?” I asked dumbfounded that she actually knew my name.

“As a princess it is my duty to know the names of my subjects” she said in an angelic like voice

“Well ok then…..your majesty” I spoke hesitantly still creeped that’s she knew my name, celestia then turned her head back towards the struggling human with rainbow simply looking over him still crying then turned to face the other alicorn I now knew as princess Luna.

“Sister do you think you could see into his mind and try to find what is wrong you are more skilled at looking into dream’s than I am” she asked her sister.

“O-o-of course sister…..I’ll try” says the dark blue alicorn as she walks over to matrix, still glowing and screaming, when she reached him, she slowly lowered her horn to touch his forehead then a small white flash enveloped matrix and after a few seconds it disappeared and matrix was now lying on the sofa sleeping, the glow that had consumed him was gone, the black flames on his arms had also disappeared and I’m guessing that his eyes had stopped glowing although I couldn’t see them.

When the princess was happy with whatever she had done, she moved away from him and turned back towards us.

“Sister, what did you see in fact what did you do?” asked celestia

“Well when I went into his mind, all I could see was pain, darkness and……and nightmare’s……..but they felt real…….but I wasn't there……just watching…………so I tried to find a happier memory within and I found one…….so I unlocked and I ‘think’ released it which in turn stopped whatever was causing him pain but even I’m unsure what exactly happened but all I can say is this, ‘if’ this happens again what you should try to do is go into his mind and find a happy memory to supress whatever it is inside him”

We all must have been a bit confused but in the end we finally understood what the princess meant

“So by doing this, it could help him with his nightmares he’s been having too” twilight asked curiously

“Yes twilight sparkle it should help him” replied Luna

“Well that is one problem solved but that still leaves one mystery to be unsolved and that is to find out how he now has magic, having said that he nor any other human has possessed it before” said twilight.

“your right my student but I think that will have to wait until he wakes up, as I would like to hear his side to all of this and I hope you don’t mind us staying here until he wakens” said celestia

“Of course princess I’ll go prepare us some tea” she said cheerfully before trotting of towards what I presumed was the kitchen to make beverages whilst both princess went into another room in the other side library filled with books.

So that left me and rainbow, she had just sat there through the whole ordeal but now she was smiling for the first time since matrix had become ‘possessed’ if you could call it that and was just watching him now sleeping peacefully.

Present

“Well that’s what happened and you’ve been out for about half an hour now at least” I said after explaining everything to him leaving out the embarrassing things because I wanted to keep some dignity

Character switch matrix POV

“Well that clears up why I woke up on the sofa with a splitting headache but you said the princesses where here cause I don’t see them any”…..

“Ah matrix I see your awake”

“HOLY CRAP” I shouted before falling on the floor dragging rainbow with me

“Ow, oh sorry princess you just scared me” but by now I could hear what I think was Luna rolling around on the floor laughing her flank of even celestia and rainbow couldn’t stifle a laugh

“I’m sorry for startling you matrix and you can drop the formalities and please call me celestia or Tia if you wish”

“And you may call me Luna if you also wish” spoke Luna who had finally managed to calm herself down

“Oh don’t worry about it……erm Tia and I also want to thank you ‘Luna’ for helping me”

“And on that subject I don’t suppose you would mind telling us your side to all this perhaps staring with the fight”

“Oh coarse Tia, well how can I put it….erm well when I threw that punch when they attacked me first, normally my hand would be hurting from throwing a punch that hard but it didn’t surprisingly so when I looked at my hand it has this wired, glowing aura around it like when a unicorn uses his or her magic then when I did this move where I punched the ground, there was this shockwave that knocked them all away but at the same time everything looked like it was going in slow motion, but the weirdest thing about all this is that I didn’t seem to have any control over it what so ever”

“from what you’re saying matrix, it seems that you have started to develop magic, but even I can’t come to a conclusion as to how, but what I can guess is that since you said you have no control over it, it only appears at certain times” said celestia

“Well I guess I can believe that, but on another note excuse me for my outburst, I HAVE MAGIC HELL YEAH” I exclaimed throwing a random punch in the air gaining a few laughs from every pony in the room

“Tea’s ready” said twilight as she came in from the kitchen floating a tray with mugs of tea towards us as I got off the floor and sat on the sofa (yeah I call it a sofa not a couch, I’m British) twi passed my one of the mugs of tea as well as one for every pony else, I took a sip and let the warmth of the hot liquid sooth my taste buds

“OHMYGOSHYOU’REOK!!!” said a wild pinkie pie, shouting down my ear hole

“WHAT THE CRAP!!”

i have come to a conclusion.............writers block is an absolute pain in the ass.............. nuff said on that............. well i hope you guys liked it anyway RM laterz

friend's with royalty and Rarity's wrath!

friend's with royalty and Rarity's wrath!

“I swear one of these days you guys are gonna give a bloody heart attack you know that” said matrix as he picked himself of the floor after pinkie’s grand entrance with every pony in the room laughing at him…..again

“Well bollocks, I’m gonna have to get changed now” he said as he looked down at his clothes which we’re now stained from the tea he spilled from his reaction to pinkies mysterious entry

“I’m sorry mat but I heard you were hurt or something because I heard from someponys about what happened this morning and”-     she was cut by a hoof to the mouth from twilight but still she kept talking though her voice was slightly muffled

“It’s ok pink’s, I’m fine now, no need to worry” he said, smiling as he walked to the door that lead to his room and went downstairs to get a new change of clothes, roughly five minutes later he emerged wearing a new set of clothes with the same smile still on his face and he went back over to the sofa where pinkie and rainbow were sitting, he sat down and put his arms behind his head and let out a calm sigh.

Celestia sat there next to her sister, sipping her tea and thinking about how matrix could have gained the ability of magic and odd the way he could use it, she looked around at the ponies and human in the room then her gaze fell upon an object on the other side of the room, it was a guitar, a thought came to her head ‘since when did twilight play an instrument’ she questioned herself so she asked twilight

“You never told me you played the guitar my dear student”

"Oh I don’t princess, that guitar is matrixes and might I tell you he is a really good player”

“Is this true matrix” asked celestia as she turned to face him

“Why yes erm…..Tia, that is correct and now I’m guessing you would like me to play something as well”

“If that is ok with you then yes, I would, and I’m sure my sister would like to hear you play as well, am I right Luna?

“I would be delighted to hear some music from your world” replied the night princess

“Well its ok with me now could somepony pass me my guitar and my bag please” he asked then celestia floated over his guitar while dash flew of the sofa and brought over his bag and put it down next to his feet then muzzled his cheek without any pony else noticing and then sat back down, matrix then pulled out his laptop from his bag and went straight to his music looking for a song to play.

after two minutes of continues scrolling he found the song ‘perfect’ he thought he then went to the different version of the song for the backing track to it so he could play the guitar part, he had backing tracks for most of the songs he could play as well as a special soft wear where he could edit any song To fit his needs

“ok I think you might like this one, it’s called ‘soul sister’ by a band called train” he said before picking up the guitar, Quickly making sure it was tune and then turned up the laptop volume to full and pressed the play button.

Hey, hey, hey

your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains

I knew I wouldn't forget you, and so I went and let you blow my mind

Your sweet moonbeam, the smell of you in every single dream I dream

I knew when we collided, you're the one I have decided who's one of my kind

Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair, you know!

Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do...tonight

Hey, hey,hey

Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me

You gave my life direction, a game show love connection we can't deny

I'm so obsessed, my heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest

I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna, and I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair, you know!

Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do...tonight

The way you can cut a rug, watching you's the only drug I need

So gangsta, I'm so thug, you're the only one I'm dreaming of

You see, I can be myself now finally, in fact there's nothing I can't be

I want the world to see you be with me

Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair, you know!

Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do tonight,

Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do...tonight

Hey, hey, hey

Tonight

Hey, hey, hey

Tonight.

As he played the final chord he was met with an applause that was louder than it should have been that was until he looked around and saw the rest of the gang where there and they were  all applauding him, he smiled then put down his guitar

“Thanks guys it was nothing really” he said quite embarrassed

“Oh that was not nothing, that was probably the best music I have ever heard” rarity chimed in

A’h agree with rar here, that was real somthin” said applejack

"You really think so guys” he asked, they all nodded

“Thanks guys, well I don’t know about you but I feel the need for another flight session, rainbow you feeling up for it”

“I sure am” she said as she hovered up to him

“Well then let me get ready” he said but was stopped by a question from Luna

“Excuse me erm matrix but you said ‘flight session’ how can you fly when you clearly do not own wings?”

“Yeah what the princess said” spoke silver

“Have you forgotten how I got here in the first place Luna?” he replied that’s when she remembered the giant metal they found him lying next to when he crashed outside of the town

“Oh…….right, forgive me it must have slipped my mind but now I’m curious as to how your kind has the ability to fly without magic or wings?”

“well my dear princess if you allow me to have five minutes to prepare myself then I shall be delighted to show you, show all of you in fact” he said in his best British accent earning a few laughs from the group before walking back down to his room to get his suit and helmet, a couple minutes later he emerged from his room dressed In his flight suit with helmet in one hand and some other objects in the other.

“Erm what have you got there matrix? Twilight asked

“What I have here my dear friend is a CB radio which is what we humans can use to talk to each from long distances and this is a wireless radio headset which you can again use to talk to other people from long distances but without having to use your hands since it simply sits on your head, here twilight you take this radio while dash takes the headset, hey dash come over here for a sec”

She jumps up at the mention of her name hovers over to him

“Yes mat, what did ya need”

“Here let me put this on”

“Erm ok” she said then let him put on the headset and the right radio channel as well.

“There now you’ll be able to speak to me and twilight when were in the air now”

“Really, that’s awesome”

“Now twilight, you take this radio and turn the dial until it says number five then you’re on the right channel ok”

“Got it, I think” said twilight as she took hold of the radio in her magic

“Ok everpony follow me but Tia, Luna, could you wait at the front of the library while the rest of the gang follow me”

“As you wish matrix” said Celestia as she looked at her sister in confusion who returned the same look then they both walked outside to the front of the library

“Great ok now the rest of you follow me” he said as he grabbed his iPod before walking out the front door then turned right with the mane 6 and silver in tow, when they finally reached his jet silver let out a whistle of amazement

“Damn that is some machine, how fast can it go?” he asked

“From what I can remember this F-35 lightning II which is what this type of jet is can go up to Mach 1.6 and over which is around 1600 miles per hour” replied matrix

Silvers mouth dropped open wide as well as the others in disbelief that this massive metal machine could even reach such speeds

“You’re kidding right, nothing organic can reach that speed except rainbow dash when she performs the sonic rainboom but even that is a rare occurrence” said twilight, trying to defeat him with knowledge

“Well twilight if you haven’t noticed but this jet is not ‘organic’ it is a machine made with science and highly advanced technology  that allows it to break such speeds as well as the sounds barrier and this jet is just one of the many hundreds of different types that can go over Mach 1”

She looked at him quizzically but let out a sigh of defeat

“Ok matrix I believe you but what did you need us for?”

"Well I wanted to show you all me actually flying in the jet because I doubt you all actually saw me flying the other day and also twi do you think you could perform that spell where you can make ponies and objects float on clouds on the jet and me, it could come in handy for later”

“Sure and this time the spell should be permanent because I’ve researched the spell a lot more since last time when we were in cloudsdale “ she said putting down the radio before flaring up her magic, engulfing me and the jet which was mow encased in a purple glow, she finished working on the jet then started performing the spell on me but something felt odd, her horn was getting brighter and to the point where it was almost a white light then suddenly I was sent flying backwards into the side of the jets nose and onto the floor.

“Ow………..well did it work” he said while rubbing his head with his hand

“I think so but I wasn’t expecting that to happen”

“Well I’m sure it was nothing, now what was I going to do………oh yeah that” He said as he got up and walked up the nose where the big piece of cloth was still attached to it

“Strange? Why do I feel this weird tingly feeling in my back, heh just ignore it” he thought to himself as he reached for the tarp

“What you got under there matrix” asked applejack curiously

“Damn, well you caught me, I guess there’s no hiding it now” he said before pulling back the tarp revealing the picture on the jet

(Not my artwork, credit goes to the artist who originally drew this)

Silence was all that could be heard from the group as they looked at the picture that was on the side of the aircraft, matrix could have sworn he could see a tear welling up on rainbows face then smiles began appearing on each of their faces and they turned their gaze towards matrix who was trying to hide a small blush on his face

“Wow matrix you drew that!” exclaimed twilight this only made mat blush more

“So……..how long have you had a crush on our dear friend rainbow dash then hmmm?” said rarity with a devilish face

“………………..”

“You might as well just admit it”

*sigh* “should we tell’em dash”

They all looked at her while she looked at him; she was a little hesitant at first then nodded

“Well I guess I better explain then, me and dash are……..”

“Marefriend and coltfriend” exclaimed rarity

“Got it one” he replied

“I knew it, I knew it all along” she shouted out

“Jeez keep it down rarity we don’t want the whole town to know*sigh* look me and dash will explain later but right now can we get back to what we were doing originally……..please”

“Oh sorry, of course darling”

“Thank you now all of ya might want to take a step back” he said as quickly put in his iPod earphones then helmet, then he climbed up into the cockpit and strapped himself in, he closed the canopy window and made sure it was shut proper then went about powering up the aircraft, when the engine came to life he did a small pre-flight check through the instruments after that he decided to check if he could speak to rainbow and twilight

“Hey rainbow, twilight can you guys hear me” he spoke down his helmets radio

“Yes we can hear you, this feels awkward but cool I guess” said rainbow down the mic

“Good you ready to go then dash”

“I’m always ready” she said mockingly

“Ok then lets show the princesses the awesomeness that we humans make” he said before pulling out his IPod and selecting a song

he put the jet into hover mode and slowly amped up the throttle until he took off from the ground, dash then took to the air and hovered beside the cockpit, he turned to nod at her, she nodded back then he banked the jet to the left and slowly moved forward to hover round to the front of the library where the princesses where awaiting with the main six and silver in tow on the ground.

…………………………………

Luna suddenly heard a high pitch whining sound coming from behind her, she could not see where it was coming from but it was getting louder and louder, she looked back to her sister who also had the same look of confusion on her face……that is until they both above them, what they were seeing was the same metal bird when matrix had crashed here, hovering roughly twenty metres above their heads

their mouths dropped open seeing the giant flying machine hovering effortlessly above them, they then noticed who was flying it, it was mat, he waved to them they hesitantly waved a hoof back as he turned the jet back around and began flying forward with rainbow dash flying close behind at speeds that would be considered lethal.

…………………….

“Come on dash try to keep up” said mat done the mic as he banked sharply to the left, rainbow overshot him but was quickly advancing on his tail, they had gone from flying together into a game of cat and mouse with mat being the mouse

‘Man I haven’t had a flight session as awesome as this in ages’ mat thought to himself'

“I’ll get you yet” replied rainbow through her headset a little too eagerly

“well then I think it’s time to go into after burners” said mat as he put the throttle into overdrive instantly breaking the sound barrier making a loud BOOM sound above the town, leaving rainbow in his jet wash

“Oh no you don’t” dash said to herself as she immediately began picking up speed, in two minutes she had caught up with him but exhaustion was starting to take its toll on her but she wasn’t going to give up that easy, she was almost eye level with him in the cockpit but he pulled into an inverted dive straight downwards the town

“I thinks it to buzz the tower” he said out loud as he caught a glimpse of the library, he pulled up and a turned around to fly past it, where the princesses and the mane 6 where, he got a close as he dared go and tilted the plane sideways so he could see the ground, then time seemed to slow as he passed the library with the princesses and the girls plus silver where sitting at high speed but in slow motion, once he passed the tree house he pulled directly upwards with rainbow still in pursuit

............................

The princesses and the girls were watching the two dance around the sky, chasing each other like birds, pinkie was making ‘ooh’ ‘aah’ sounds as they both pulled highly advanced manoeuvres and pointed occasionally, they could both here them both through the radio that twilight was holding

“oh no you don’t” came rainbows voice from the radio as the matrix speed away from her in the sky high above, they saw catch up after a short while then mat suddenly dropped downwards with rainbow in hot pursuit

“I think it’s time to buzz the tower said mat through the radio as the saw him pull up from the steep dive

“What do you think he meant by that” asked rarity

“I have now Idea but I think it may be that” replied twilight as she instantly dropped down onto her hooves

“twilight what are-ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!” rarity was cut off as matrix flew directly overhead only two metres of the ground and at the speed he was flying it was enough to knock anypony standing near onto the floor with rainbow flying mere seconds behind leaving her signature rainbow streak .

rarity regained her composure but something felt of, then she heard giggling coming from behind her, she looked around and saw that the rest of the girls silver and even the princesses were giggling, at her, she quickly magicked up a mirror from out of now where and looked into and a small crack appeared on the corner of it, as she looked into her reflection, shock then anger flashed across her face, her mane was an absolute mess

“MATRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!” she shouted at the top of her lungs would let her and at this point everypony was rolling on the floor or trying to stop themselves laughing,

..........................................

Meanwhile, matrix was climbing higher into the air when he heard his name being shouted down the radio

“oh I am royally fucked when I get on the ground he” said to himself letting out a small laugh as he levelled out and rounded the town again still with rainbow on his tail.

pony nappings, where?

A few days later

Matrix lay back on the grass in the park with silver sat on his haunches next to him his saddle bags at his side, mat knew what he had inside them, something that he was kind of uncomfortable with him having since it was a dangerous weapon, they sat there, watching over the three filly’s playing around with a ball, earlier that day the CMC asked if he wanted to play with them and since he nothing better to do so he agreed, now he was taking a break from running around with the energetic little filly’s, thinking about the last few days events.

‘so, now I managed to get back on rarity’s good side……….after volunteering to be a male model for a day………………….never again, also managed to get a time sorted with Luna to come to canterlot next week to sort the nightmares out…..hopefully, iv'e met up with vinyl to sort out my job timetable after almost getting trampled by a crowd of fans, took them a while heheh ,I also arranged with twilight and Tia to show them more about how my plane works and stuff Luna seemed quite intrigued with my laptop and the games I had on there, I wonder , what else was I gonna do…………oh yeah get my own house, I feel bad for having to constantly mooch of twilight, I’ll need to talk to her about it later’

His train of thought was interrupted as a sharp sting of pain erupted from his forehead, he quickly sat and rubbed his head with his hand “ow” he moaned as he saw the ball roll away from his feet, he heard laughter next to him so he turned his head and saw silver rolling on his back, laughing his ass of

“Shut up you tit” he said sarcastically, he then looked back to see applebloom, sweetiebelle and scootaloo all with sorry looking faces staring at him.

“I’m sorry mat, we didn’t mean to hit you” said sweetiebelle apologetically whilst scraping a hoof at the ground

“hey it’s ok I forgive you” it’s right, he was ok with plus how could anypony not forgive anything so adorable, certainly not him, it was one of his many weaknesses, one he knew he had to work on, when he saw the girls start to turn around and resume playing there game he sprang up and kicked the ball away from them before they could get it and sprinted of with it

“Hey no fair!” shouted scootaloo as they all chased after him

“trololololololololol” mat shouted back almost tripping over the ball as he turned around just in time to dodge the three girls diving at him, he then kicked the ball to silver who had joined in but the shot went wide and went into a tree where a loud shout came from it

“aggggghhhhhh what the buck!!” said the voice then at the same time somepony fell out from said tree and onto the ground, mat, the girls and silver ran over to the fallen pony to help and get a good look at him, from what could see, he was a dark blue Pegasus with a lighter blue and silver mane and tail, he couldn’t quite make out his cutie mark but that didn’t matter.

“Hey man, are you ok” he asked him

“Yeah I was until some moron woke me from my nap” he said as he rubbed his head with a hoof then turned to look to see who he was speaking too, he took one look at mat and his mouth dropped open

“Wait a minute, I’ve heard of you, your that human who’s been wondering around town, matrix right” he said

“Right you are my friend, sorry about ruining your sleep, what’s your name by the way”

“It’s fine, I was gonna get up anyway and my names frost storm”

“Cool, this here is my pal silver and these ‘innocent’ little angels are sweetiebelle, scootaloo and applebloom” the girls smiled at this and mat swore he could see halo’s appear above their heads

“Nice to meet you guys” frost said before his stomach grumbled loudly

“Someponys hungry, tell you what I’ll get us some lunch to make up for waking you sound good” said mat

“I’ll take you up on that” said storm

“You up for some grub silver” suggested mat

“If you’re buying” he replied

“it’s settled then, you girls don’t mind if us guy’s head of yeah”

“That’s ok matrix, we’re gonna go and do some crusading” said scootaloo, waving a hoof

“Fine by me then you girls have fun then”

“CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS GEM FINDERS GO!” they all shouted at the same time before running of in some random direction, matrix didn’t bother to think about what they could get up to as long as I didn’t involve him getting hurt. The possibilities of that happening to him, considerately high by his standards.

Mat, silver and there new found companion frost made their way towards sugarcube corner for lunch, they passed a few ponies, most waving at matrix for who he is then the odd one came up to him and gave her address to him, obviously a major fan, he blushed a bit at that and slipped the note into his back pocket then continued walking, silver saw his blush and tried to stifle his laughter since he knew that he was dating rainbow and how he was going to explain this to her later.

On the way, frost explained a bit about himself but he didn’t mention family or where he lived, not that silver or mat noticed, they eventually reached the desired building of choice, entering through the door making the bell toll, grabbing the attention of the residential party pony

“Hey there matty, are you here for lunch; it’s on the house since you’re a special friend” she said with her signature smile that everypony was accustomed to,

“Sure am pink’s but I insist on paying” he replied, pinkie had quickly learned how stubborn mat could be when pony’s offered

mat free stuff as he always insisted on paying them but sometimes he gave in, something she and the other girls found quite humble, she gave in to him and simply said

“Ok matty what would you like?”

Mat gave her the guy’s orders before sitting down on a table near the window with his companions whilst pinkie went off into the kitchen, having still unnoticed there new companion

“So frost you were saying before………frost………..frost, what are you looking at?” asked mat as frost was simply staring at the other side of the room where another pegasi and a unicron where sitting, specifically at the one who was wearing an odd looking robe, from what mat could see he had a white coat while the ends of his hoofs and muzzle and wings were black , he had red eyes and a spikey red and black mane and tail, his companion sported a White coat with yellow short spiked mane and tail, he wore a black vest and black boots which was odd because pony’s rarely ever whore clothing unless it was for a special event or something like that or if they were a guard

*click**click* mat snapped his finger’s in frosts face to get his attention

“What the bloody hell is wrong mate it looks like you’ve seen a ghost or something?”

“I can’t believe it” said frost as he quickly got up from his seat and made his way over the table where the two pegasi were sitting

“this doesn’t look good” said mat to silver as they both got up as well and followed frost, as frost neared the table the black robed Pegasus turned his head towards him and just stared blankly at him, frost’s face was a mixture of anger, sadness and hate, what mat and silver didn’t expect next was that frost threw a punch at the Pegasus’s face and proceeded to continue hitting him but was stop as he was pulled back by the human standing behind, mat turned his head towards the Pegasus who’s nose was starting to bleed

“Are you ok there mate” he asked him

“Yeah I should be fine, that wasn’t the kind of welcome I’m used to but none the less” he said not even bothered about the human in front of him

“Ok then now storm what the fuck do you think you are doing!” exclaimed mat

“You would have done the exact same thing if your ‘brother’ left your family for ten years!” he shouted back trying to break from the humans grip

“Whoa whoa whoa, he’s your brother” mat said in disbelief as he turned back to the bleeding Pegasus who nodded then spoke

“Indeed I am his brother, hello frost, long time no see”

“split second, ten years, ten bucking years ago you left me and mum and dad, now you have the decency to come back, why, just why, and who’s your friend!”

“This here is subtle rampage, nice fellow, and now back to the conversation before hoof”

“well this is a little awkward I’m gonna go get my food and get going to the library while you two sort this crap out okay, I’ll be back later” mat butted in as he rushed back over to his table with silver in tow they both grabbed their food to go while mat paid for it, they then both headed out the door and headed towards the library to lets the two pegasi sort there difference’s out , he didn’t to get involved in something that wasn’t his business

Ten minutes later

Matrix and silver were almost at the door to the library but not before silver heard a high pitched whistle like noise

“do you hear that” he asked matrix as mat reached for the door handle, mat stopped and listened to the sound, it sounded like a airplane crashing from one of those old cartoons, he knew what it was, we waited until the right moment and spun around caught rainbow upside down, flipped her upright them lowered her onto her hoofs, rainbow lifted a hoof towards mat and said

“You see that, it’s called awesome” she said to silver who was sitting on the floor mouth open as he just witnessed matrix’s perception skills

“That was nothing” mat simply said as he strolled into the library shouting out

“Hey twilight you in here”

“Yes I’ll be down in a second”

“Alright I’ll be down here” he answered, he walked over to the sofa and sat down with rainbow lying on top of him, her head buried into his chest, he kissed her on the forehead while silver sat on the other end of the sofa

“Why are we here again?” asked silver

“I need to talk to twilight about getting my own house, I feel kinda bad that she’s has to keep up with my antics and that she has been my host for the last week or so, so I want to get my own home”

“You could always stay with me” rainbow joined in on the conversation

“Thanks dashie but I can’t get up to your cloud home, thanks for the thought though” he said as she looked a bit defeated but then an idea came to her mind but she would speak it later

“Oh hello matrix what can I help you with” came twilight’s voice from behind him, he and silver looked behind them the find the purple mare standing there with a book in her magical grasp, mat just smiled while silver just stared…………just stared.

“Oh hey twilight, I came to see if you know anything about buying a house in town do you”

“I’m sorry mat, I don’t but I think the next best pony to ask would be mayor mare at the town hall”

“well thanks for your time then twi I’ll be of then” he said as he got up to leave with rainbow and silver tow, he got to the door but it quickly opened into his face knocking his over

“Honestly can I go a day where I ‘don’t’ get knocked on my ass” he said rubbing his face

“MATRIX, MATRIX YOU GOT TO HELP US!” shouted a young voice whose owner just happened to be…..sweetiebelle’s?

Matrix sat up and looked towards the little filly with applebloom at her side but where was scootaloo?

“Girls what wrong” he asked them who now where beginning to form tears in their eyes

“scootaloo…….she’s been pony napped”

“Oh ok…………wait WHAT THE FUCK” he exclaimed

Matrix POV

“Oh ok………..wait WHAT THE FUCK” I shouted as I heard the words leave her mouth

“Ok explain to me exactly what happened” I spoke with utter seriousness in my voice

“w-w-w-well we were going gem hunting for our cutie marks in the same place where rarity always goes for her gems, I tried to use the same spell that she used but It didn’t work, so we try digging for a bit, that’s when they came, the d-d-diamond dog’s they just came out of the ground and tried to hurt us, we got away but they grabbed scootaloo before she got away, that’s when we came here for help” she said before she broke down crying

‘Where have I heard of diamond dogs before…………ah yes that one episode…..now I remember, well are they in for a surprise’

Don’t worry sweetie I’m going to get her back” I said as I jumped to my feet the ran for my room, bolting down the stairs, I instantly went into my rucksack and found what I was looking for, I pulled out my guns and strapped them to my hips, then I took out my knife and strapped its sheath across my chest, I then took of my trainers and put on my combat boots, I pulled out my iPod from my rucksack also and shoved it into my pocket.

I felt like I was ready to take on the world, I then bolted back up the stairs where my friends were waiting, they saw me and looked at me with different expressions on their faces, twilight took a glance at the weaponry I had on me and gave a an odd look, rainbow saw the knife and looked at me the same way, silver knew what I was planning because he knew what the metal objects at my sides where, I walked over to the door where it opened and in flew a blue-ish grey Pegasus, right into my face, it was ditzy, why is she crying

“Ditzy what’s wrong?”  I asked her

“T-t-t-they took her, my little muffin, they took my little dinky”

“Who took her” I pressed he for more info

“t-t-t-the diamond dogs” she cried

“WHAT! Tell me what happened

“I-I-I-I was taking a break from my mail rounds near the gem mines on my way to miss rarity’s house, I had dinky with me in my saddle bag since I couldn’t find a foal sitter, I let her out for a second while I went to get a snack from my bags when I heard her scream, then I saw her being carried away by them”  she cried in her hooves as I gave her a sympathetic hug, I then put her down and turned to face everypony

“All of you stay here, I’ll be back”

“Were coming with you” said silver

“You bloody well are not” I spoke I then turned back to sweetie belle who had managed to stop crying

“Which way is the gem mines”

She pointed out the door in the direction of them; I then sprinted out the door trying to get there as quick as I could, leaving everypony back in the library

“Those bastards are gonna be in a whole world of shit” I said out loud as I kept sprinting at full speed

here's another quick one for ya and hey i finally got the guys in  here at last though only briefly they things will get into more detail later  also i just want to say that the episode's are all jumbled up so they may not exactly follow the time line but i will try to keep to it at some time but it will mostly be jumbled up....................i'm like that sometimes so don't judge me

Death comes to those

‘Don’t stop, Don’t stop!’  Mat’s mind screamed at him as he ran at full pelt in the direction Sweetie Belle had told him where the mines were. He tried to push out the thoughts of what could happen if he didn’t make it in time, and drove him to run faster. His running came to a stop as he came across a large amount of holes and dirt mounds………this was it.

“Don’t worry guys….I’m coming.” He said quietly to himself as he gasped for air. After he got his breath back, he checked if he still had his weapons. Pistols, check, knife, check. Satisfied with his weapons, he slowly walked over to one of the holes and peered down it.

“F***, that’s a long way down.” As he looked into the hole, all he could see was the pitch black as it seemed to absorb the light.  He took a few steps back and whisked out his iPod, plugged in his earphones, then selected the song of choice;

He slipped the iPod back into his pocket then clapped his hands together.

“Alright let’s do this thing! LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRROOOOOOOOOOYYYYY!” He shouted as he ran forwards and dived into the hole.

“Erm, magic anytime you want to cut in, NOW WOULD BE THE RIGHT F****** TIME!!” He shouted as a small light came into view from the bottom of the hole he was falling. His hands started to tingle again and he could see them with the grey aura around them. As he levelled himself out and pulled back his fist ready. When he fell out of the hole and into the cavern, he slammed his fists on the ground, creating a shockwave of dirt knocking over anything in its radius.

When the dust settled, he stood up and pull out his dual welds, hands still glowing, he looked around and he saw at least twenty dogs in armour with spears.

“You b****** know what happens to a mother f****** with two black eyes? Nothing, because you already know I told your punk a** twice.” He said as two leapt for him at his front, he ducked and knocked one in the stomach, winding him then kicked the other to the floor and sprayed his face with lead. The other dogs couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed, but at the site of losing their comrade they grew angry and started to charge at him, but he was ready.

He booted another, then shot him in the face, spun around and stood on another one’s head. He ducked as three jumped and collided in mid-air, he aimed his guns upwards and got a collateral kill. They fell the ground limp, fifteen left. One tried to throw his spear at Mat, he dived to his left and did a forward roll while firing off a couple of rounds, a few hitting the target, killing the dog instantly. He turned around just in time to dodge another spear. As the spear flew past him, time seemed to slow down as he lifted guns and fired at the rest of the dogs. As time went back to normal speed, the dogs fell to the ground motionless.

“Wow…that was probably the most bull s*** fight I have ever been in, period!” He said as he holstered his guns then looked around the cavern he was in, ahead he saw three tunnels.

“Oh, come on now! I don’t have time for this!” He looked at them thinking which one to take, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw something in one of the tunnels. He walked over to the object. It was an orange feather, this was the right one.

“I’m coming girls, just hold on.” He said as he began to sneak through the tunnel. He walked for five minutes before he came across an old wooden door. He heard voices or barks on the other side, he cracked open the door slightly and peered in.

“F*** me, that’s a lot of dogs.” He whispered, he couldn’t tell how many there were but he couldn’t see any sign of the filly’s. He moved away from the door and leaned against the cave wall.

‘I can’t just go in there guns blazing on my own, stealth could work’ he was snapped out of his train of thought as a hoof touched his shoulder. He went into action instantly, pulling out his combat knife and quickly pinning whoever it was with the knife poised between Silver’s eyes.

“Silver? What the f*** are you doing here, I thought I told your ass to stay put.” whispered Mat as he got off him.

“Well, we think that you’re kind of being a d*** for trying to take these twat’s on your own.”

“What do you mean by ‘we’?”

“That would be us.” said Frost as he came around the corner followed by his brother and the

unicorn stallion he was with earlier.

“Seriously, what the f*** are you guys doing here?” Asked Mat.

“Were you even bucking listening to what I just said you twat?”

“Maybe, maybe not………….by the way your names Subtle Rampage, am I correct?” He pointed to the yellow maned unicorn.

“Yes, why you wanna know?” Replied the unicorn.

“Why are you here, I don’t know you or these two brothers very well, you must have a reason to be here.”

“*sigh* Well you got me, but I don’t want any of you to speak of this to anypony at all, I am part of the royal guard but I’m stationed in ponyville. But I’m off duty the most of the time since the town is relatively peaceful. But when I heard that the new human in town decided to go after some ponynapped fillies on his own that when I step in, it is my duty.”

“You guys aren’t leaving, are you?” asked Mat, they all nodded.

“Well I hope you all have something to bring to the table because these bitches are deep in their own shit.” said Mat as he turned around and burst through the door.

“All the mother f****** in the house please stand up for an a** kicking!” he shouted as he pulled his knife then charged at the nearest dog and cut its throat open.

The rest stormed in after him, Silver dived behind a corner and pulled his gun out from his saddle bags and fired a few shots. Frost and his brother flew into the air and landed back to back facing of any dogs that got near them.

‘They must have settled their differences………for now at least’ Thought Mat as be clubbed a dog around the head with the handle of his pistol, but what he saw next blew his mind.

Subtle rampage ran in, reared up and slammed his hooves into the ground. Diamond-like stuff crept up his fore hooves and stopped just before his knees. He then charged forward slamming his diamond coated hoof into a dogs face, pulverising it. He continued and whacked another one spun around and bucked another in the stomach, he then quickly slammed his hind legs into the floor and this time his rear legs and tail became encased in the same diamond armour like stuff. He swung his mace like tail around and smashed another dogs helmet clean off knocking him over, he sprinted over to it and brought his fore hooves and slammed them down on its head.

The other just stood there watching what he just did, mouths agape.

“What?”

“Holy s***! That was awesome, how the hell did you do that?” said Mat breaking the ice of the silence that had developed in the cavern.

“I asked myself the same question the first time I did it…LOOK OUT!” Rampage the shouted out to Mat who in turn spun around and performed a well-timed round house kick to a leaping diamond dog, sending him into a wooden support beam, cracking it.

“And stay down b****!”

A loud rumbling noise ripped through the cavern as dust started to fall from the ceiling then a large boulder sized section fell.

“S***, the whole place is coming down……” Mat was cut off as the whole ceiling collapsed, creating a cloud of dust and smoke. When it cleared he was confronted by a blocked tunnel that clearly wasn’t there fifth teen seconds ago

“Ow.” He groaned as he shook himself off but he could feel something sticky running down his left leg, there was a nasty looking cut that was seeping quite a bit of blood but he managed to get to his feet thanks to his magic numbing the pain.

“Guys...you ok?” He shouted

“Yeah, we can hear you but were blocked off” Said a muffled voice from the other side.

“Ok, you guys find a different way out. I’m gonna keep looking for the girls.” He shouted back before turning round and carried on, limping down the tunnel, after five minutes of navigating down the tunnel he came across another wooden door, he crept up to it and tried to silently open it, locked. He stopped for a moment then heard voices on the other side so he put his ear up the to the door

*In the other room*

“What should we do with these ponies, they are too young” Said the smaller dog as he sat next to the leader on the right of him.

“Maybe we could sell them for more gems, yes more gems.” Suggested the bigger dog, but he was shot a look from the leader so he backed down.

“No, we need them, they will grow up to be bigger and better. The horned one can use magic to find gems, the winged one can get the ones higher up.” Said the leader as he looked at the two cowering fillies who were huddled together in their cell, bruised and shaken. Their faces stained by their tears.

“Bring me the orange one.” He barked to the bigger dog that nodded and walked over the cage. He opened it and picked up Scootaloo by the scruff of her neck and brought her out the cage and quickly shut it.

“Let me go!” She shouted as she bucked him in the face, the sudden reaction from the hit made the dog’s arm fling outward letting her go and sending her into the wall with enough force to make a small series of cracks emanate from her small body. She fell the floor crumpled and a small streak of blood started to seep from the side of her head where it had been cut, she lay there unconscious.

“You fool!” Shouted the leader but was cut out as the door was busted in, they all looked towards it and there stood Matrix, with an angry look on his face. He had heard everything, he looked around the room and saw Scootaloo on the floor with the bigger dog looming over her. This made him even more angry and his fists clenched up, but then he clutched his head in pain and fell to one knee, he started convulsing as his body started changing.

The flames on his skin that had appeared before reappeared, but this time they engulfed his whole body including his face. His eyes turned pure black instead of white with white flame flickering in them, he sprouted black feathered wings from his back, ripping his shirt. His hair turned into black flames that danced around evilly, he stood back up to his full height but he had grown slightly. His whole body glowed in the same grey glow as his hands and he still had the same angry look on his face before but was filled with pure anger, and no mercy what so ever.

“Get away from her YOU B***H!” He shouted in a voice that was purely demonic. He took a step forward leaving a small wisp of black mist, the small dog tried to tackle him but Matrix moved so fast he was on the floor in milliseconds with a new bullet hole in his head. The bigger dog then tried to attack him also, but this time Matrix pulled out his knife but it had also underwent a transformation, from the sheath it looked relatively small but when he pulled it out it had grown to about three times it original size. It looked like it was made by a demon itself with the handle emanating black mist from it, he brought it down diagonally on the charging dog leaving a large blood red gash on his chest, he slumped down dead at his feet.

The leader who was sitting on his throne was shivering and sweating bucket loads as Matrix walked up to him. He flapped his enormous wings sending the leader off his throne and into the wall behind him with enough force to level and entire building. Matrix then walked up, picked him up by his neck and slammed him into the wall with such force loud cracks could be heard and seen coming from the wall.

“You kidnapped two innocent little fillies. Threatened to do inhuman things to them. You hurt them and scared them for life!” The dog tried to attack him but all he did was scratch him leaving three small gashes in his left cheek. Matrix looked back to him a let out a low growl that would rival that of a manticores, he took his sword and plunged it into his belly, pinning him to the wall. He let out a pain filled yelp.

“That is a crime only punishable by DEATH!” He shouted in his face with his demonic voice as he un-holstered one of his guns and held it under the leaders chin

“Stop…..please.” The leader croaked out.

“To...f******...late!” He said as he twitched the gun slightly.

“No-” He pulled the trigger, quickly silencing him and ending his life. His head fell the side as he moved the gun away and holstered it, he pulled out his knife/sword and wiped the blood of it as he re-sheathed the sword that was clearly too big for its sheath. The body fell the floor in a heap, as he turned back to face Scootaloo. He clutched his head in pain again and fell onto both knees as he slowly returned back to his normal state. Just as he regained his vision he caught a glimpse of the flames on his arms disappearing as it was liquid draining from a bottle

“What the hell just happened to me?” He looked back around and saw the mutilated bodies.

“Now that ain’t right.” He said, but then he remembered why he was here in the first place, he turned his attention back the injured Scootaloo and saw the blood on her head. He ripped of the sleeve of his shirt and carefully wrapped it around her head to stop the bleeding. He then saw her wings and it was crumpled badly he picked up some sticks next to him and ripped of his other sleeve and made a splint for the wing. It wasn’t the best, but it would do until he got her to the hospital, he carefully picked her up and cradled her in his arm still unconscious. He moved over to the cell were Dinky was being kept and kicked it open, she was still huddled in the same corner, she had seen the whole thing but had looked away when Matrix had………….killed them.

“Shhh it’s ok I’m not gonna hurt you.” He said in his most calming voice.

Dinky knew who he was since she had seen around town before and she knew he wasn’t a threat, so she jumped into his arms and hugged him for dear life and cried her eyes out into his chest.

“It’s ok now, I’m going to get you out of here.” He spoke soothingly as he hugged the greyish purple filly.

About time i uploaded an update and thanks to red tear/subtle rampage for pre-reading it also another thanks to veteran O'Awesome who is taking his time to edit the earlier chapters so they wont look like c*** now that my writing has improved fairly well ans also you may have noticed that i have sort have blanked out the swearing, that is for reasons i will not explain for now and i will be doing it to the other chapters as well as project human but the swearing is still technically there and im also adding the dark tag (Which for some reason i cannot add now so i will sort that later) and later on the the mature tag for the banter and stuff, well that is all

recovery

‘Come on, come on, where’s the b****y exit around here’

I’ve been walking through these caves for almost twenty minutes now, I was starting to get even more worried about scootaloo, I was no army medic but I could tell her condition was beginning to worsen as time went by,

“M-m-m-matrix” I heard the weak voice say coming from the injured filly in my arms

“Scootaloo shhh don’t talk you need to save your energy, just rest” I spoke soothingly to her whilst looking into her light purple eyes which she slowly closed and drifted into unconsciousness

“I got to get the hell out of here and quickly”

I eventually came to the end of the current tunnel I was walking in, with both the fillies, scootaloo in my arms and dinky was resting in my head, I could see what looked to be an old wooden ladder leading upwards, I looked up the mine shaft and could see a faint light near the top of it

“This is gonna be an awkward climb, dinky hold on tightly” I said to her as she slipped slowly of the back of my head and gripped her forelegs around my neck tightly but not so much that I couldn’t breathe, I made sure I had a secure grip on scoot’s with my one arm while I gripped the ladder with my other arm and slowly started to ascend upwards.

it wasn’t difficult but I was awkward climbing the ladder with one arm occupied as well as that my left shoulder was starting to get that burning pain again ‘curse you dodgy shoulder’ but I eventually made it to the top of the mine shaft but it was blocked by a round wooden trap door with gaps between the wooden boards, letting the sunlight seep through.

I hooked my legs around the step I was on and tried to open the door with my free hand, it wouldn’t budge.

‘Locked, s***….…………wait ideaaaaaaaa’ I said in my mind as I pulled out one of my guns

“Dinky, this may be a little loud” I said as I put the barrel next to the lock and pulled the trigger, shattering the lock, I holstered my gun then bashed the door open with my free arm then climbed out into the open air, dinky let go of her hold on my neck and clambered back onto my head, I did a quick glance at the area around us, we were on a dirt hill a short distance from the mines where I went in.

I took a step forward and I nearly fell onto my knees again from the pain, blood flowing freely from the wound on my leg and face

‘Looks like my magic adrenaline has worn of, it’s gonna be a b***h walking back, but I gotta help scootaloo’

I stood back up ignoring the pain and continued to walk on…….well limp on but I didn’t care these fillies needed help, then I get help later, what made it worse now was that it slowly started to rain, with each step I took the pain got worse and worse but I kept walking, my vision then started to blur but I kept walking, by know I could sort of see the edge of town as my whole body was screaming at me to stop but I mentally told it ‘f*** you I do what I want’

As I walked past the town entrance sign, I managed to catch the attention of a few ponies, one being a mint green coloured unicorn

“Matrix what happened?” said Lyra as she rushed over to me and held me up before I nearly collapsed

“Lyra……..takes the fillies……..to the hospital…….now” I managed to speak before I collapsed to my knees again, Lrya managed to catch scoot’s and dinky with her magic before I dropped them then ran in the opposite direction towards what I presumed was the hospital, I fell into the puddle in front on me and I caught a glimpse of Lyra running before I blacked out ‘not again’

………………………………………………………………

“HOLY S***!” I shouted as I was falling towards the ground then fell flat on my face, but I felt no pain strangely enough.

I opened my eyes and all I could see was blackness around me, I got to my feet and again felt no pain, I was wearing a black shirt and trousers, no sign of my weapons though, I took a nervous step forward and surprisingly didn’t fall over.

“Well…………..this is awkward”

I began walking in no particular direction since I had no clue as to where the f*** I am, as I casually walk with my hands in my pockets, whistling some random tune, I notice a light in the corner of my eye so I turn around and see a door with the white light…..thing glowing around it

“The f*** is the s***?” I said as I walked up to the door, as I got closer I could hear what seemed to be a name being called out that sounded like……

“Zenesis……………..zenises……………..zenesis”

“Ooooooooooooook I’m officially freaked out now” I reached for the door handle and opened the door causing the light to brighten and almost blind me, I fell forward and the door shut behind me, I got to my feet and tried to bash down the door, It wouldn’t open

“f***” I shouted letting my arms hang by my sides, that was when I heard a noise, an all too familiar noise, it sounded like jets……….in a dogfight, I turned my gaze behind me and I was looking at the same dogfight I had been in………..the last time I flew with my squadron, I watched as I saw my friends die again and myself get captured and tortured, that b ****** who kept dishing out the torture was again smiling in my face, I could do nothing, not even move, so I was stuck there forced to watch the event happen again, I closed my eyes and this time I saw something different.

I was still in the same cave, chained to the wall but across on the other wall was………….the girls, also chained to the wall

“oh f*** no” I shouted, that’s when the evil laughter sounded throughout the cave, the girls whimpered as he slowly walked in……….with a gun in his hand, he looked at me and laughed then  pointed his gun at one of them, and pulled the trigger

“No, no no no no no noooooo” I pleaded but he just went down the line…………..exterminating them…………one………….by……………one………..until he came up to rainbow

“Don’t you dare, DON’T YOU f****** DARE” I shouted at him through tear filled eyes he just snickered and aimed at her, she looked at me with here magenta eyes that just screamed help me, but I was powerless to do anything *click* *BANG*

“nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”

“I am zenesis, you will be tested again” the mysterious voice from early spoke again before darkness engulfed my vision

…………………………………………….

I slowly began to regain consciousness only to squint my eyes as I looked right into a bright light, I quietly took in a breath of life giving oxygen refilling my lungs with natures life force, my vision and hearing slowly coming back to me, the first thing I can see Is a white pastel ceiling, I moved my eyes around the to get a better look at where I was since I couldn’t move my neck or any other part of my body for that matter, I see a heart looking monitor thing on my left, and a IV stand on my right

‘must be in a hospital, ahh old times’ I thought to myself, I then heard voices to my left, I shift my eyes over and I see a large group of ponies heading into the room I’m in

‘Must be the girls’

“Look he’s waking up, rainbow dash, ditzy he’s waking up” said a voice that was all too familiar, it was twilight’s.

then just when I gain control of my body again I feel two large lumps sitting on my abdomen that I didn’t recognise before, I slowly moved myself to a more sitting upright position and a I rubbed my eyes and saw dashie and ditzy lying asleep on my lap, well were asleep until a wild twilight came in the room with the rest of the mane six along with the sweetiebelle, applebloom and the guys

“Wha-what” dashie and ditzy said in unison before finally waking up and realising I was awake then proceeding to jump on me and hug me in a death grip

“Well hello to you to girls, could I ask one question as to how I got into this hospital?”

“well when we got word that Lyra had found you on the edge of town with dinky and scootaloo we had guessed you may be hurt since Lyra also said that you looked pretty banged up, so we all went to help you and now here you are” answered twilight with a smile

"That’s great; well I don’t give a damn about me right now what of dinky and scoots?”

“Dinky is fine” said ditzy as she and dash hugged me more and were beginning to cry “thank you for saving my little muffin” she sobbed so I rubbed there manes in comforting way and loving way

"Hey, it’s fine, she’s ok and that’s what matters, now what about scootaloo?”

“………………………….”

“What is wrong with scootaloo?” I asked again this time with a hint more concern and anger in my voice, they all looked at me with worried faces, I instantly knew something was wrong

“It would probably be best if we show you” said twilight with a saddened look as she turned and exited through the door, I climbed out of bed feeling slightly dizzy at first but I could stand up easily enough and with rainbow and ditzy still clinging onto me, surprisingly I was still wearing my clothes which was good and even more surprisingly my guns, but minus the knife?

‘Obviously they would take my knife as they’ve already seen it but they wouldn’t have a clue about my guns except for rampage, I thought he would have taken them since he saw me and silver use them in the caves, oh well I guess twilight will ask about them later, I can almost guarantee it’

sad song

I walked out of the room following twilight with the rest of the gang behind me and with me holding ditzy and rainbow in my arms whilst the clung to my chest, I could understand why rainbow is but ditzy, I wasn’t so sure, maybe because I saved her daughter, probably, twilight eventually came across a door to a room labelled twenty six, she hesitantly pushed the door open and went in followed be me and the rest of the company.

What is saw made me almost die inside.

scootaloo was lying on a bed with a heart monitor and an IV attached to her, her left wing wasn’t bandaged but was held up in a sling looking thing all crumpled and misshapen, you could see the large dried gash on the side of her where she had impacted the wall and the numerous bruises and small cuts that were spread all over her tiny frame

It nearly made me cry, seeing her like this, I was glad that she was alive but not in the condition she is in at this moment.

“the doctor said she will be out of it for up to four days at least, she’s in a stable condition but with the current damage to her wing it’s a fifty, fifty chance that it will repair properly and will be able to fly later on in life, the gash on her head we can heal and fade away so it won’t be there as well as the cuts and bruises, but she will be unconscious from the all the physical and mental trauma she’s been through and the surgery she has had on her wing and a few of her ribs”  said twilight

‘Bull s***!’ I screamed in my mind ‘I’m not going to continue to look at her like this, I’m gonna get her back to normal if it kills me’

“Could you guys leave for a few minutes” I asked they didn’t answer but did so any ways ditzy let go and walked out the room while rainbow looked up to me and nuzzled my chin then flew out of my arms and out the door closing it behind her

I then turned back to the filly lying on the bed; I silently moved over to the bed and knelt down beside her, watching her regular breathing and the beep from her monitor, I kept thinking of ways I could possibly help her but one idea stuck in my head, It was a stupid idea that probably wouldn’t work but I had to try it.

I stood up and looked at my hands, turning them over and back glancing up and down

“I hope to god this works” I leaned forward and gently placed my hands on scootaloo’s chest,

“common magic, just work for me, just this once” I almost pleaded and after a few seconds I almost gave up until I saw my hands beginning to glow grey, the glowing grey aura was getting brighter as it spread from my hands onto her body and as this happened her body slowly started to heal, I think,  the gash on her head closed up like something from a movie, all the cuts and bruises disappeared and the her wing mended itself and looked perfectly normal and exactly the same as her other wing, the whole time It felt like something was tearing itself from me, but without pain

Once I was sure that she looked normal I took my hands away and the aura vanished from her and my hands into thin air, I could see her smiling happily in her sleep but I guessed she would still be asleep for four days like twi said because of all the mental stress, seen as I only healed her body she may be still exhausted and what not but that was just what I thought so I’ll just have to go along with that,

‘it is done’ I heard a voice in the back of my head say, it sounded almost exactly like the voice I heard in my dream earlier, but I deal with that later

I then smiled as I now knew that she would be fine, but I was completely unaware that part of me was now part of  her, so I just sat there sitting on the bedside stroking her burgundy like mane while she peacefully slept on, I felt a hoof on my shoulder, I looked back and I saw rainbow and the rest of the gang there looking at me with the same smile I had, I looked back to scoots and saw that she was hugging my hand in her sleep ‘that is just too cute to wake up’

“Come on guys let’s give her some peace” I said as I carefully removed my hand from her grasp them walked out the room with the gang and rainbow resting on my shoulder, I walked back to my room and asked if just the girls would wait outside, which they agreed to, as I sat back down on the bed with the guys all sitting on chairs or beside me on the bed.

*narrative/3rd person* *stop music if it hasn’t already*

“Alright let’s get some of this s*** from earlier straightened out and out of the way, rampage how about you go first and just so you all know well keep this between ourselves alright, now rampage if you please” spoke matrix

“Well I all ways wanted to be a guitarist but I went and joined the royal guard and have been since I was young, I used to be one of princes celestia’s personal guards but when I transferred a couple of months ago into a different branch, I was sent here to ponyville as an undercover guard but since this town is relatively peaceful I’m off duty most of the time but that doesn’t mean I don’t keep an eye out, that’s how I also met my friend split second over here”

“I guess I can believe that, but can you explain to me how you did that thing with the crystal armour in the caves because I recall that your horn wasn’t glowing when it happened” mat inquired

“That little trick, I call it crystallokinesis; it gives me the ability to control gemstones and make them grow where I want them to and how I want them too. For instance I can coat my hooves in diamond like I did earlier and many other cool stuff, I got this ability many years ago when I was sent to look for this rouge unicorn in the mountains he was doing something with diamonds and gemstones that could make then better and more profitable but to also weaponize them, me and a small team where sent to bring him down but we came across some complications or in other words he was prepared for us.” He took a deep breath before continuing

“In the fight he managed he cut me across the face and the sword he was using, it was covered in this enchanted diamond dust substance that got into the wound and into my bloodstream, not that I knew at the time, after we apprehended him and put his flank in jail, I went out to the training yard alone and I discovered I could this use ability when I kicked this gem that was lying around without using my own magic, in other words I can only do it if I have a diamond or gem stone on hoof or very close to me like in the mines, and I’ve been keeping this a secret ever since”

“Wow cool story bro, well like I said we’ll tell no one, right next pony or should I say ponies, frost storm and split second how about you tell me your story, starting with storm”

“*sigh* well it all began many years ago when me and my brother lived in cloudsdale with our parents still, dad had an accident at work in the weather factory and we all went to see him hospital but split had other ideas, he took of ranting about how his master or something needed him, I now he has problems but that doesn’t mean he had to fly of like that” he spat as his brother before continuing

“that same night our father died, I promised him that I would look after our family and so I stayed with mom and worked at the weather factory until I had enough money to help me and mum keep living by and stuff, that’s when I planned to go looking for my brother, I spent two years on and of looking for him then I just gave up, some I went back to working at the factory but my job recently has been keeping my down here in ponyville”

“Wow, split that was sounds really low, can I ask you a question, why did you leave, why abandon your family?”  Said matrix who was getting more intrigued

“I……………..don’t know, I just did, there was now reason, I just…………did, and I’m sorry I wasn’t there and I know it’s too late to change that but I just left for no reason” he answered

‘Bulls*** senses are tingling’ matrix mumbled to himself

“Well that’s sums up you two now there just one left…………………silver, I do believe that there is something you aren’t telling us, like how you have that gun and where you came from” he said whilst looking sternly at silver

“Alright, I’ll tell you, I come from the Republic of Karalia, it borders Equestria and the Changeling nation. It's a gritty nation, and the zebras or 'Insurrectionists' are constantly rebelling against it, and the changelings harass our borders, unlike Equestria we are more………technologically advanced than them and as you may know we do have guns and similar weaponry to what you have here matrix”

“I was part of the military and a member of an elite squad that being part of is one of the greatest honours, but one day our squad was on a skirmish in zebra territory when we got ambushed, they were being led by the infamous zebra colonel……………..zakoto, years ago he led another group of soldiers into the town near the border where I was living with my parents, he killed almost everypony, including my, my parents” he broke down into sobs so mat leaned forward and brought him into a bro hug.

“when we got ambushed, we all fought hard but soon enough they all fell, but me, I managed to escape but I couldn’t bear to go back home, so I left, I’ve been on the road ever since going from town to town until I ended up in ponyville and met you matrix” silver stopped finally pulling away from the humans grip

“Damn dude, I’m feel sorry for you, I really do” said matrix reassuringly

“It’s ok dude your weren’t there and you couldn’t do anything about, it’s all in the past”

“Good to know, well I think that’s everything sorted out here but there’s one more thing I need to do”

“Oh yeah and what might that be” asked frost

“Something, something happened to me back inside the caves and there was only one pony that saw what exactly happened……………………………I need to talk to dinky” he said as he stood up and went for the door.

my new conscience

my new conscience

HEY EVERYPONY IM NOT DEAD!!!!!!!!!!! at least i dont think i am............anywho i have my next chapter not my best work but at least that scene is now out of the way and now i can move on to what i have planned next and i hope you will happy anyways ciao!!!!

Matrix calmly walked out the door of his hospital room into the corridor walking into the girls, who had been sat waiting for the last ten minutes

“Hey ditzy, I need to ask you something?”

“Matrix please just call me derpy” she let out a small chuckle “what is it you need?”

“I need to talk to dinky, its kind of important that I do”

“Why would you need to talk to my little muffin? Is it about what happened…………..in the caves?” she asked out of curiosity and nervousness

“Something happened down there, to be more specific something happened to me, and she was the only one there awake that saw what happened”

“I not sure about this…………..but we can try and ask her, but she’s really distraught from it all” she said as she led the way and so ha and the gang followed, when they got there matrix aske

“Guys could you wait here besides twilight and derpy, that is all”

No pony said anything against him, so he and the two mares followed him into dinky’s room, she was sitting in the bed upright reading a children’s book, she had plasters over the cuts on her legs and head and a small bandage around her forehead, still she looked cute and the good thing is she was smiling happily.

“Hey my little muffin how are you doing for mommy”

“Hey mommy” she said happily and proceeded to hug her mother as she sat next to her on the bed

“Hey there kiddo, you look all better” matrix said as he sat on the opposite side of the bed and lightly ruffled the little fillies mane and gave her a hug

“Hello Mr Mister Matrix”

“Hey dinky” he said as he looked towards derpy for a second receiving a nod from her to continue

“I need to ask you some questions………………….about what happened yesterday”

As soon as he said that, dinky’s smile turned sour.

“It’s ok dinky you don’t have to tell me straight away, take your time” but dinky just sat there looking extremely sad and almost on the verge of crying so he and derpy wrapped an and arm and a hoof around the little filly

“Twilight”

“Yes matrix”

“Do you still have that spell so you can go into ponies’ minds?”

“Of course, what are you………..oh right”

“OK, then *sigh* derpy, I need to ask you permission for us to look into you daughters mind, it’s probably the only other way we can do this”

She sat there for a minute for nodding her head

“ OK then matrix, derpy take hold of my horn, we’re going dream walking”

They both did so and twilight slowly lowered her horn towards dinky’s forehead then there was a bright white flash then darkness

Matrix woke up with a slight headache and he had to shield his eyes from the very bright light He sat up and looked himself over, he was wearing the same clothes from the dream earlier, he then looked around saw that he was sitting on what he fought be…………..a pink muffin field

“So this dinky mind, half expected this to derpy’s”

“Who said my name” said derpy from a pile of muffins alongside twilight and dinky herself

“Gah this I way to pink for me” said an unknown voice

“Who said that?” said mat as he swung round and drew his guns which surprisingly were still on him, he didn’t see anything,

that is until he saw a tail sticking out from behind a muffin tree

“Whoever you are get your ass out from behind there or I won’t hesitate to shoot you”

“Oh please you really think you can kill me that easily after all I’ve done for you that past week” said the familiar voice as he stepped out from his cover, a Pegasus clad in black fur with yellow stripes like a zebra in a way with a red and yellow stripped mane and tail walked into view, his piercing orange eyes never straying of the three

“Who the hell are you” asked matrix

“I am zenesis and I know all about you, matrix”

“So you’re the b*****d that was talking in my head earlier”

“Yes…………….and I’m also the one who has been providing you with your newly acquired ability’s and your new daughter”

“Really………wait what!”

“Yes I really did say you have a daughter well not exactly genetically”

“Who is she?”

“Why scootaloo my dear friend”

“What, how is that………”

“Possible? Well it goes like this, when scootaloo was injured, it clearly looked like she wouldn’t fly again and would also have some difficulties later on in life, so when you did that little magic trick on her, I provided the healing magic but that wasn’t enough, the only way I sorry ‘we’ could heal her was for me to do something drastic, your soul, I took part of your soul and mixed it with hers, it healed her fully and now you are connected to her and she is to you thus now making you both soul linked, she is now your daughter and that can be possible, because during the healing, her memories revealed themselves to me and her past……………..wasn’t pretty, I don’t want to reveal that to you, she can say that in her own time”

“But I don’t understand, you’re a Pegasus, how can you possess magic” quizzed twilight

“That is a story for another day and might I also say that I may look real but I’m actually dead, this is my soul using your mind as a holding tank matrix”

“Why me”

“You were the only being strong enough I could latch onto and don’t worry I won’t kill you or possess you or anything like

that”

“Well care to explain what that little episode was a few days ago when I ‘was’ possessed”

“oh That, that was simply my magic fluctuating and needed to be vented trust me that will happen often if you keep having sudden changes in emotions or I have to keep using the magic for you, and just so you remember, I’m only giving you the ability of said magic when you need it at the time and not all the time”

“Well I would still like to see what happened yesterday” replied mat

“Me too” said twilight

“As would I, I may be in control of your magic but even I am still unsure how that happened” said zenesis as he held a hoof to his chin in thought

“Oh and by the way, my being here, has also connected me with your soul too, just fought you should know” said zeneses

“That’s not gonna have any problems in future…..right”

“noooooooooo, well I can’t be sure and I haven’t seen any changes physically or mentally so you’re good, for now at least”

“Well that just makes me feel all warm up inside, any way let’s find out what we originally came here to do but can I also ask my soul ‘is’ gonna be fine right?”

“Aw don’t be such a baby souls grow back” he said as he walked past twilight

“No they don’t” he whispered to her

“WHAT” she screamed

“I’m just bucking with ya calm down jeeze”

“What was that?”

“NOTHING”

“ooooooooooooookay”

The group walked over the pink muffin field for around five minutes until the felt a cold chill run down there spines, they passed over a small mound and saw a big black door with wisps of dark smoke leaching from it, this was it.

“Alright guys, this seems like it, let go”

They all walked into the black void and were greeted with the events of the previous day, after watching the event they came

out the void and were back in the dinky’s muffin field

“Well I think I know what happened” inquired Zen

“Well then, explain doctor smart ass”

Well it seems when I gave you the magic ability, I gave you a tad too much and it also seems that yours emotions also played a part in it too! might have to keep an eye on that”

“Well, in think that’s enough for today, I really want some rest, twilight can you do the honours

“Of course” as she said that her horn lit up and they returned back to the hospital room with dinky fast asleep

“Well I don’t know about you but I’m taking a shower talk to you guys later said matrix as he went back to his own room

One week later vinyl’s home

“Right so we need to think of some kind of concert that you haven’t done before” said matrix to vinyl who was sat of her sofa with a drink of cider

“hmmmmmmmmmmmmm”

“……………………”

“……………………”

“I got an idea, what’s the weather like in mare-ami this time of year”

“Erm usually hot and sunny……………what are you thinking what I’m thinking”

“ooooooooh yeah”

“BEACH PARTY” they both shout out as they hoof-fist bump each other.

Welcome to Paradise!

this chapter is waaaaaaaaay overdue and it is also a test as well for this chapter for some of it will be in 2nd person (mainly the first bit but the rest will either be in 1st or 3rd as normal) hope it meets you're expectations and feels

RM

also zenasis's lines and thoughts are now in green

~~2nd person~~

you were matrix and you had thought that setting up a party was going to be easy, boy were you dead wrong, the holy crap amount of paperwork that had to be done that ranged from renting out space for a small DJ booth or stage, beverages and to hire additional acts to come along and perform and boost the fun, was to say ‘bloody boring’.

you had been sitting mostly inside you're new office room in you're new house, it was pretty big, two storeys high minus the attic and basement, the first floor had a kitchen, a dining room, a lounge area and a study, upstairs had a master room with walk-in bathroom and three smaller bedrooms and another bathroom, the basement was split into two sections which meant you had plenty of space for future things, the house itself was alarmingly low price, only three thousand bits, this may seem very cheap for you from back on earth but this was fairly high by equestrian standards, the mayor even said so when you went to buy the house, you had moved in very easily since you only accumulated a small amount of things in you're short time here.

Two days and a major crap tonne of paperwork later, vinyl and yourself had finally got pretty much everything done and sorted for the beach party in the next four days, you both had recruited another performer by inviting her to perform from her busy schedule, surprisingly she was actually willing to come along, she was the famous sapphire shores, the pony of pop, you had seen her brief appearance on that one episode of the show and you hoped that she would live up to her name.

you and vinyl had spent around two hours getting that song from you're laptop to her sound board system, then she had to get that processed and put it onto a vinyl record since they don't have CD or USB technology here yet, then finally you sent it off with lyrics to the singing pony, hoping that in the time you both had she would be able to sing it, the song in question was ‘do your thing’ by the basement jaxx , you had heard the song from a game a while back and thought the singers voice sounded almost like sapphires from the show.

when you finally had that one task done they still had to get the rest of the preparations sorted, you saw fit that you would want some form of security whilst there, who knows how much of the equestrian population had heard of you and you're musical partnership with pon-3, what kind of idiot wouldn't have some form of security

so you took the liberty of sending a letter via spike mail to the princess if she could spare a small contingent of guards to be security, and happily she said yes knowing that she and her sister were also going to be invited as well as being able to take a casual break from being a ruler of a country, that and she knew how much of a fan-mare Luna had become of you, you were beyond surprise when she had wrote that in the reply, you weren't even sure if Luna had even heard or been to one of you're performances?

you wouldn't be surprised if she 'had' a crush on you

Now with four days to go you both sat down in you're home in the living room, rainbow had stopped by from cloud duty for her lunch break and was splayed across you're lap with her eyes closed and ear pressed against where you're heart was, listening to the strong beating as she relaxed herself from a busy morning of cloud organizing, silver was upstairs in one of the rooms, since silver had said he was on the road and was currently living in a motel room, being the human you are with all you're generosity offered him to stay with you in you're home, so long as he helped out occasionally, silver didn't mind at all since the human-pony duo we’re now practically brothers, symbolically of course.

Vinyl was sitting on the opposite sofa from you and rainbow, listening to some music from you're iPod, slightly bobbing her head as some dub step played though the earphones, a quick thought came to mind as she fumbled with the touch screen to play the next track and glanced at the couple.

"Those two make a cute couple, almost like me and octy, I wonder how he managed to tame the pony that is the rainbow dash…………..hmm funny it feels like I've forgotten something?"

  “Hey Dj humanz”

“yeeeeeees” you answered  as you stroked a hand among rainbows messy tom coltish hair

“I feel like we've forgotten something, about the beach party?”

“well, we can’t have, all the invites to our friends are out, all the girls are coming that's including Derpy, scoots is sadly still in hospital, Applebloom and Sweetiebelle as well as subtle rampage, sliver, frost and splits, although split second said he was coming, he mentioned he may have to do something before-hoof, heck even the princesses are coming along, the stage is being set up there as we speak and there are posters being put up in all the major cities and towns which i have no idea how you got hold of but now my face is everywhere!, what could we possibly have missed!” you answer

“what about the music?” rainbow piped in, you and the Dj pony locked at each other in complete shock as you had forgotten the most important thing as you simultaneously spoke

“Fuck!”

“Buck!”

After the initial shock wore down, you had spent the rest of the day frantically running around the house going through both of you're own music and going through each other’s deciding which tracks would be best and some you would save for later shows and concerts

"whats all the bloody racket down there! cant a stallion have a lie-in for once in his life!"

"sorry brother!"

~~3rd person, three and alot of pissing about days later~~

“Pull up you son of a bitch!”  Mat was flying high above the town, you know as you do, well if you can call flying high going into a vertical dive hundreds of miles an hour after failing trying to go to your jets maximum altitude.

Then stalling

Then falling into a vertical nose dive that if it turns unrecoverable you are royally screwed, but luck, thankfully, was on the human’s side as he expertly regained control over the jet and levelled it out at around roughly five thousand feet.

“Phew, note to self, never, do that, again, ever” he spoke to himself trying to regain some sanity of his failed test before he glance at his radar screen, there was something approaching from his six and fast, this was odd because he had the only jet in the existence of Equestria so how it was picking up anything baffled him, that is until a rainbow blur shot past the canopy and swerved around then went backwards over the canopy

“The hell is………..rainbow” he gasped before turning back to his screen to track her through the sky since he couldn't always keep his eye on her, strangely enough though, ten seconds ago she was there, now she wasn't?

“Playing games now are we?” he spoke playfully as he saw her in the corner of his eye heading towards a cloud bank

“Come out come out were ever you are”

"such childish behavior" zen spoke out of the blue materializing as a smaller version of himself and sat on the humans shoulder

"oh bugger off zen" mat retorted jokingly

He slowed the craft down and swiveled the engine into hover to get a better look at the ‘innocent’ looking clouds, he scanned over them looking for anything out of the ordinary, yeah like anything isn't out of the ordinary in this country.

He slowly strafed to the side and spotted a cloud big enough to land on and hoping that the cloud walking spell was still working and gently set her down, when he felt the aircraft no longer falling, he looked around the edges of the cockpit and saw he made a perfect landing.

On a cloud

A fucking cloud.

A jet fighter breaking all laws of physics in a world that literally breaks physics with a hammer, was standing on a cloud, he switched of the engine and undid the buckles that kept him in his seat, he popped open the canopy then carefully climbed out and landed with a small ‘puff’ as his boots touched the fluffy platform.

“and they said chuck Norris could swim through land” he spoke proudly, then he heard a small bout of laughter from the surrounding clouds, clearly rainbow was trying to be the ninja here, but clearly she wasn't doing the greatest of jobs doing so.

He then saw a small amount of movement on the far left cloud and he could clearly see a rainbow tail obliviously poking out from it, he grinned as he stealthily crouched up to the cloud and moved around it to where he saw rainbow was camping so to speak, she in turn looked through her spy hole and saw that he wasn't there, now was the time to strike, he slowly pulled one of his M9’s and slowly sneaked up to her and held it close to her ear, well obviously not that close that he could deafen her.

………………..BANGBANGBANGBANG!!!

*insert girlish scream here*

“Bwahahahaha” after seeing his marefriend’s initial reaction he ended up rolling around on the cloud on his back laughing.

“Not funny”

“Was for me”

“That’s it!” she shouted as she made a dash at him, knocking into his chest, they tumbled across the cloud for a minute and they ended up with matrix on his back with dash standing on top pinning his arms to the cloud

“Not so funny now is it” she panted but she couldn't say anything else as he moved his head forward to kiss her, she didn't expect it but she quickly melted into it.

She had always thought that she would never fall for a stallion, she was different from most mares, being a tom-colt and was a little bit of a overachiever at times

Well she was dead wrong, but the strange thing was, she fell for him, but it was a good strange, the days that had gone by some ponies took notice that her attitudes had changed slightly ans she had noticed it as well, coarse she was still herself but when he was there she felt more............peaceful and less...............judged, he had noticed that and didn't mind it but she still did act like herself to maintain her image and when she acted differently around him he was there to make sure nopony took the piss, they still had yet to reveal themselves to the public

They eventually broke up the kiss and simply stared into each other’s eyes not before long mat’s iPod's alarm went of

“Crap, rainbow I need to head back and finish the rest of my packing for tomorrow, want to come back to my house for a bit and watch a movie or something?”

“Sure, but my wings are pretty tired from my exercise's”

“That’s ok; you can catch a ride with me back to town”

“You’re serious?”

“dead serious, I can give you a non-exhausting trip back to town and you get to experience flying in a new way, think about it”

“Hmm that’s really not a bad idea, sure let’s do it!”

“All right cool, hop in”

He climbed in first then got himself situated in the seat, then rainbow leaped up to the cockpit and sat in his lap like a dog would with her back resting all the way to his chest, it was awkward to say the least but mat could still fly and fairly see, the only problem was he had to move his arms around rainbows wings and body to use the stick on the right side and throttle on the left, he closed the canopy window and sealed it shut, rainbow was just in complete awe at how advanced the machine was to her looking at all the instruments he was just sitting there grinning as he fired up the engine albeit rather slowly.

“You ready to fly like humans do?”

“Heck yeah!”

“Well.........hold on then”

he started the engine, it growled with a low roaring sound then it grew and grew into a high pitched whine ,thankfully the canopy was sound proofed so ears where not shattered, he applied some throttle gaining lift from the cloud platform and floated away from it where he hovered there

“By the rainbow you might ‘really' want to hold onto something!”

“Why?”

“Because where on an express elevator to hell! Going down!” he shouted before sharply angling the plane forward and cutting of the throttle, entering free fall, they began picking up speed, getting faster and faster as rainbow screams became louder and louder.

'show off!'

'bite me zen!'

~~the next day~~

"ok guys i'll see you all there in a few hours" matrix shout as he waved the whole gang goodbye at the train platform, they would be heading on a 1 hour trip to fillydelphia where they would then get on one of the cruise zeppelin passenger balloon things, twilight had shown him a few in a book and they where massive, almost as big as the zeppelins of the early twentieth century, apparently they were that strong they could probably carry his jet and more in its special designed cargo hold on the gondola thing, yeah he knew F all about balloons, and thankfully they were taking his luggage for him, such nice friends

"right, its just you and me zen old buddy, you now which way mare-ami is right?"

"what am I a freaking sat-nav"? said the smoky miniature Pegasus on his shoulder

"how do you even know what those even are?" mat looked at him

"i live in you're head! i see what you see and what you've seen!" he waved his little fore-hooves around for emphasis

"shut up! come on we've got a beach to get to!"

"amen to that!"

"i think humanity has corrupted you're stupid ass mind!"

"i try"

"righty-o then, let get a bloody move on!" he said as he sprinted back to his house, when he finally got there he rushed upstairs opened his wardrobe and pulled out his travel clothing, some swim shorts and a palm tree hula shirt, yeah just shows how awesome of a tailor rarity is!

he slipped of his current cloths and put his new clothes on, he then pulled out his flight suit, put that on and finally his flight boots, he had some sandals in his planes storage compartment, again curtsy of rarity, plucked up a pair of aviator sunglasses he bought and put them on his face, checking himself out in his mirror he couldn't help but visualize himself as tom cruise.

breaking away from his little moment, he rushed downstairs to pluck his keys, iPod and helmet of the dining table, he put on his helmet keeping the visor up and situating his iPod in his chest pocket, he sprinted out the front door, locked it and pocketed his keys then ran around to the back of his house, where his ride was ready and waiting for him, the grey metal beast shone in the light as he walked up to it,  he took a second and looked left and right at the surrounding land behind his house

the land was mostly flat either ways and in the mid-far distance it rolled of into small hill, he guessed that on either side the flat land was around 2500 to 2600 feet long or about 800 meters, the ideal and more or less perfect take off and landing distance for his aircraft, he considered that he could buy the land and build a runway with a small hanger to store his jet properly, he had the bits just slightly but with the amount of money expected to come from the party tomorrow he'd be set for a while

noting down his thoughts and came back to real world and climbed up into his transportation, getting himself comfy in the seat whilst strapping himself in, he closed the canopy and pulled out his iPod earphones and slipped them under his helmet into his ears and plugged them into his iPod, turning back his craft, he begun the procedure of firing up the engine, flipping switches and buttons here and there, the roaring sound of the turbine spooling up filled the air outside the cockpit, he smiled as he listened to one of his favourite noises.

he took hold of the joystick and thrust lever and gently nudged it forward applying vertical take-off thrust, he reached his mark and the wheels left the ground, with one hand he whipped out his iPod and quickly selected his flight playlist and turned up the volume, as he gained height he moved forward gaining momentum and soon he was flying faster and faster.

"god i love this!

"as do i"

"hmm, right so which way is it?"

"pull a hard left now and just keep heading straight, from the speed we're going i guess we should get there in two maybe three hours? you cant miss the island"

"mare-ami is on an island? no one ever said anything about that?"

"you never asked"

"ok smart ass, banking left" he spoke before pulling a hard left

~~meanwhile back on earth, three months in the future, location; England, classified airbase~~

~~ Benjamin 1st/3rd perspective~~

Diary entry 12

I still cant believe its been three months, three months since that order i was given, to shoot down one of our own, a blue on blue, he just  didn't know that he was classified airspace, I also didn't know he was going to be the newest member for our team, that's if he ever got the invitation, the news was all over it 'young R.A.F. pilot goes down over countryside in heavy storm, no wreckage has been found?'

They thought that he must of been hit by lightning or something that wasn't necessarily  the truth, the young pilot call sign 'Matrix' I think it was, was flying over highly restricted and classified airspace, my high command ordered me to either fly him out of there.....or shoot him down with these newly developed top secret E.M.P air to air missiles, designed to disable the craft it hits sending it to the ground with enough time for the pilot to at least eject, no deaths involved

but this wasn't the case with him, the storm must have been jamming his comms, I couldn't get to him, so it left me with no choice.

I fired, it hit, it disabled, but he didn't eject, the storm was too strong , i saw him fall in a weird flash of light, then my radar was no longer active, it was like he just.....vanished of the earth the storm was so wild  couldn't even see the impact, if there was one.

my 'mission' complete I headed back, every time I think about i feel and hear my ancestors looking down on me in dishonor, I know i'm american with a Japanese decent, but I can feel it somewhere, if only I could have done something more for him.

Benjamin, call sign 'Behemoth' sat in a flimsy garden chair with the rest of his squadron on the taxiway, all of them surrounding a barrel fire with there own jets circling them from behind, Ben was the leader of this classified mercenary squadron hired by the American or British government's, they weren't with the official air-forces but they got access to alot more than you're average pilot

Ben was a Japanese/American, born in japan to a Japanese mother and American father, he lived in Tokyo for a the first few years of his life but then his family moved to america cause of his dad, he still went back there every now and then to visit his other side of the family, when he was younger he was fascinated by the wonders of flight, so when he was old enough he joined the U.S.A,F (american air-force) where he met his rag tag team of friends and pilots, they did the best in trials training you name it, so good in fact the high command offered them a deal, a really good deal

they were looking for a team of top shot pilots for this small merc program, not your shady run of the mill type, a spotless type, to Ben this sounded an awful lot this the ghost recon and H.A.W.X games and surprisingly, they were, they could access most files about other pilots, test new planes and weaponry and do some other secret stuff, and the pay was good...........really good

his team of 'friends' well if you could call a group of obnoxious loud fun loving friends 'friends' , then you contradict yourself there.

first there was Randell, call-sign 'Talon'

american born and a dog-fighter at heart, flew the good old F-16 and wouldn't stop bragging about his 'skillz' but he is an overall nice guy and buys them all the drinks, most of the time.

next was Wingo, 'weird name?' call-sign 'Dagger'

originally from France but emigrated to america, he was the multi purpose fighter and Flew his country's plane, the Dassault Rafale, as much as he was a nice guy he loved his fights as well, despite his annoying accent and cravings for croissants.

next is Davidson, call-sign 'Bronco-5'

another american born and was the close-air support in his A-10 warthog, he was seen as the official 'tough guy' of the lot, he was the biggest on the base an no one fought up to him, unless you wanted you're head caved in, most times you would see him fitting out his A-10 out with the biggest fattest bombs he could get his hands on that would fit although he mainly went in him his massive Gatling gun blazing! another fact about him, never challenge him to am arm wrestle you will not win, only lose at the hospital, he broke both of one persons arms when he tried to use them both just to get his one arm down.

next it Matthew, (or Matt for short) call-sign 'Shade'

nobody actually knows his nationality and he hid well since nobody could describe his accent, that or he kept constantly changing it, he flew the F-117 Nighthawk and his role was mainly the anti-AWACS and scout, not sure yet how he does this with a stealth bomber so don't bother working it out, also, nobody question his status as a fully certified bad-ass, period..............he always wore aviators, even indoors, and in bed?

then there was Ming, call-sign 'Dynasty'

originally from china but moved to England spent a few years in and English college growing up before moving again to America, he flew the Russian MiG-29 super fulcrum and filled in the anti-air role, he smiled alot.............like alot............he loved a good joke despite he always managed to avoid being on the receiving end of one, he occasionally tells the guys to at least enjoy the scenery whilst on a 'joy-flight'.............some say he's high............like all the time.......or someone has successfully spiked his drinks

and lastly there mechanic, Manny, originally from Mexico, he worked wonders with his hands and tools, he could fix a plane it a week even if it had taken a direct hit and survived, the team never excluded him from the drinking celebrations, one time he built a midget jet plane, from spare parts, in his garage, he also kept there own personnel AWACS designated 'Bright eye' in check to with some other mechanics but they let him go at it mostly.

"do you think were gonna be at war?" spoke Wingo

"who knows frenchy, who knows?" spoke Randell

the guys where all staring into the fire , remembering the news from the past few months, the world was getting anxious and worried, news of a new war, bigger on scale than all of the previous wars of the last hundred years combined, ever since the incident with the young pilot getting captured over seas, the Russian didn't take responsibility for there 'deserters'  the superpowers were getting suspicious of each other, Britain and america were already allies along with France and Germany, the Russian government was losing itself with most of it forces abandoning it all in the past week , they were actually siding with the 'the black horses' group just like those old pilots did, buts it wasn't just the Russian deserters, rumors said they had the north Koreans in with them as well.

war was near, Ben could sense it , probably the reason why he was sent to Britain for the last three to four months with his team, he looked back at his craft behind him

The Su-47 Berkut was his ride, it carried a wide range of weaponry from a 30mm GSh-30-1 Cannon to 14 Hard-points (2 Wingtip, 6-under-wing, 4-6 under fuselage) Air to Air Missiles: R-77PD, R-73, R-74, and Air to Ground Weapons: X-59M, X-29L, X-31P, all sorts of missile and bomb types.

Ben how ever decided he wanted better and Manny had been a great help doing so, now he had a 25mm GAU-12 Equalizer Cannon and it was fucking powerful, more than the original,  Ben has modified the Su-47 to have internal missile bay racks instead of wing and under-fuselage hard-points for agility and improved stealth, new medium to Long Range Missiles: EMP-59 (Electro Magnetic Pulse Air to Air Medium Range Missile), XM-2 (Medium to Long Range stealth missile), Multiple Targeting Missiles (1 per six targets, or 6 per one target), some short-Range Missiles: Mitsubishi AAM-5, and a Jamming pod, a very expensive shopping list if there ever was one, bloody lucky it wasn't on his budget

"hey Ben......you alright" asked Ming

"yeah........yeah i'm fine"

"still thinking about that kid?" probed Davidson

".............................."

"sorry i asked"

"just leave him for now Davidson" berated Ming

they were right, he still couldn't help but fell guilty for that young pilot, he read his file and felt even more sorry for him when read that he had next to nothing left.

~~meanwhile in Equestria~~

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player\_detailpage&v=p9Y-r-rs9W8]

"holy crap now that is a view!"

"welcome to mare-ami my friend"

"this place looks alot more like Hawaii than Miami?"

"don't look at me i never named these places"

"ok ok calm you're tits Jesus, lets just find the hotel we're staying at, i never looked at the name because vinyl booked that bit only saw one photo, keep an eye out for the biggest one you see" Matt said as he flew over the water, churning it up behind him, he could see some ponies on the beach pointing at him whilst he chuckled to himself

"down there on the left, the one with the big blue sign"

"i see it nice spotting"

matrix pulled the craft down more and flew over the water closer than he would normally go , ponies on the beach stared on as the machine flew at speeds considered lethal, he pulled up and turned left, cut the throttle down and applied the brakes, flipping the engine into VTOL mode he hovered over the hotel as the turbine engine roared loudly, he found a nice flat area which looked like a car park or in the this case a chariot park and landed in a corner section.

wheels touched the tarmac with small screech and he cut the power dulling the noise, running over his instruments, he popped the hatch and climbed out and clambered onto the planes back to the compartment leaving his helmet in the cockpit, he opened the hatch up and pulled out his rucksack, all his travel gear was in there, his laptop, guns, knife and sandals, he opened it up and pulled those out and took of his boots and flight suit, depositing them into the compartment

slipping the sandals and pushing up his aviators on his nose, he plucked up the bag shut the hatch and closed the cockpit and jumped down, he looked to see a group of ponies staring at him, the situation couldn't have been any more awkward until one pony walked up to him wearing to some sort of clothing that looked like what a bellboy would wear

"erm excuse me sir but who or what are you?" this pony clearly didn't seem shocked by all means

"erm i'm Dj humanz, you must have heard of me or seen my posters?"

"oh yes now i know you you're that new Dj that's been going up in the world, I think I remember you're name the guest list, captain matrix was it?"

"yes you're right, erm could i get booked in or is this a bad time" as soon as he confirmed his name some of the mares behind the hotel pony let out small gasps and giggles.

"certainly not, its would be my pleasure to welcome a new celebrity to the blue oceans hotel and resort, would you like me to carry you're bags?"

"er no thanks, but I would like to get along and to my room before the mares here end up mobbing"

"of coarse follow me"

for the next half hour, he was booked into the hotel and got his room keys and unpacked in his room, well to say room it was more of a 4-5 star apartment, with two bedrooms, vinyl and Octavia would be sleeping in one room whilst he and rainbow would share the other, this was something else for him as it would be the first time he would be sharing a bed with her, his apartment also had a small kitchen and lounge area and a amazing sea view, after he finished dropping of his gear he walked down the the pool and beach area with his iPod and laptop in hand, so he could get a bit of a head start with setting up.

as he walk around the pool area with a some ambiance like beach music playing, he could hear the murmurs of his presence being said to the family's and couples as we walked he got a wave or too and waved back too to keep up his appearance, on his small walk he made note of where everything was, the shops, the pools and spa, the restaurants and beach bar.

'i think i'll be heading there quite a lot there over the next two days, thing is i'm surprised that some of the ponies here aren't scared shitless here! either news spreads fast or pinkie is god!'

'too right'

he spotted the stage that had been built on the beach facing the sea, the speakers where up and the Dj decks had been put together, he recognized the two ponies that were on the set putting stuff together, they were part of vinyl's tech crew that helped set up her equipment at the club, he nodded to the two as they nodded back, he moved up the to the decks and set down his PC.

"hey guys, is the main rig set up?"

"yeah sure, we just need to set up plenty more speaker's, lights and the such, should be down in about three hours ready for this evening"

"niiiiiiiice, ill give you a hand er i mean hoof with those speaker if ya want?"

"erm sure, the one right of the deck needs some cables sorted for it and plugged into the main system"

"got it"

mat turned to the said speaker and moved over to it, looking down at it, he wasn't pleased at was he saw

"crap, it gonna be like the fucking Christmas tree light scenario all over again"

"oooooooooooooooo i must engorge myself on this juicy memory"

"i swear zen"

he lent down and started to fiddle with the mess that was cable hell until zen called out

"INCOMING AT YOUR SIX!!"

"what?" mat didn't say much more as his world turned into slow motion as he spun round, slowly, in his vision he saw a volleyball heading right for his general face direction so he stuck his hand out and slow speeds but seen as lightning fast in real time standards, he caught the ball in the palm of his hand just at time went to norm

"thanks friend"

"su bienvenida"

"didn't know you spoke Spanish"

"i have my moments"

there in mind chat was disrupted as a pony was calling there attention

"whoa that was awesome bro, where did you get those reflexes from?"

"a secret my friend"

"ah right, hey you wanna play a game with us?"

"um sure why not"

"you ever played volleyball before?

"only once but that doesn't matter, it time to play with the boys!"

well here you go for now and i know that in some places this is a little shoddy but i haven't had a pre-reader in a while so yeah deal with it unless you're up to the task on being it

right onto the next chapter and the good shit!!!!

Getting a job…..and clothes…..and answering questions….great! Part 3

After five minutes of….eventful walking I had arrived back at my current place of residence. Twilight’s library. I moved up to the door and knocked a few times. I heard movement from behind the door and I was surprised to see that twilight wasn’t the one at the door it was in a fact a baby dragon who I knew was called spike. He took one good look at them turned his head back inside and shouted “hey twilight your friends back” “oh he is well let him in then spike” was the reply from inside.  He moved back inside and closely followed by  me “thanks spike” I said to him as I closed the door behind me and pulled of my guitar and bag, putting the against the wall.

“No problem buddy” said spike as he went up the stairs, best guess he was probably  going to sleep I was even more surprised that he hadn’t shown me any hostility whatsoever (“twilight must have told him about me when I was out doing errands”). I sat down on the sofa and spread out my arms across its arms and tilted my head back (”ah sofa you so comfy”) my little moment to myself was cut short when I heard the sound of hoof steps behind me, I tilted my head back a bit more and my gaze came across an upside down lavender unicorn who was looking at me with an odd expression.

“Oh hey twi what’s up cause at the moment you’re upside down” I said grinning happily this earned me a chuckle from her then she spoke “well hello to you matrix I was hoping you would like tom answer some questions, I’m curious to learn more about your world” I put a hand on my chin and made a face as I was in deep thought then answered “ok just let me get my laptop then we can get started” I then got off the sofa moved over to my bag and pulled out my laptop for the third time today and went back to sit down, I put my pc onto the small tables in front of the sofa and logged on.

As I pulled up Google twilight walked in floating some pieces of parchment and a quill and a pot of ink. (“I think she’s going to need a bit more than that”) I spoke to myself in my head as she sat ion then sofa next to me “right are you ready for a history lesson” I said to her “born ready” she replied  as she levitated the quill and paper in front of her “all right then class is session”

So for the next FIVE hours I had explained to her all about earth and the human race with things like how our planet worked and its habitants, as well as how human society and government, language, culture all that stuff and when I had finally finished talking I looked to my left and I saw two stacks of parchment that were as tall as me and next to was a very sleeping looking twilight obviously tired from five hours of writing continuously. I chuckled a bit and turned off my laptop then I picked up the sleepy unicorn and brought her upstairs and gently put her into bed.

“Goodnight twilight” I said as I walked back down the stairs, I then remembered I needed to pick up my clothing from rarities so I quickly ran out the door and sped off towards the boutique.

I came back through the door ten minutes later carrying a smallish trunk containing my clothes. I was feeling a bit tired myself so I thought I would turn in to bed so picked up my guitar bag and pc as well and walked down into the basement where I thought I heard my bed call my name. I placed everything I was holding against a wall and I stripped down to my boxers and climbed into bed, I closed my eyes hoping that now I would be able to sleep peacefully this time….

…..I was wrong…..

I was in another nightmare, but I couldn’t tell that yet.

All I could see was blackness around me then suddenly the lights flicked on, I was in a cave, I instantly remembered where I was, I tried to move but I couldn’t to no avail, my arms and legs where chained to the wall I thrashed about but I soon grew tired, that’s when he walked in, it was the basterd that was in charge of torturing me when I was captured, he was holding a makeshift sledgehammer, the same one he used before.

He had two other men with him but they were both wearing face clothes he nodded to them and they both approached me, they threw punches and kicks at me from all angles until they grew tired. I was bleeding out the corners of my mouths, bruises were already forming on my body and my vision was starting to blur, the leader with the hammer again nodded to his two lackeys and they released me onto the floor, I was on my hands and knees breathing heavily trying to recover from the numerous blows I had just received, If this was a dream I felt real.

I looked up at the leader and he just had the evil smile he always had “have you had enough” he said in his heavy accent “do…..you’re…..f*****g….. Worst” I replied through my panting “hehehe you think you are so strong…but not strong enough.  He picked up his sledge them swung it like a golf club and it struck my left shoulder with a loud crack “AAAAAAAAHHHHHH”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH” I yelled as I sat up in my bed panting heavily sweat dripping down my head and chest clutching my burning shoulder. It took a few minutes to calm myself down. I hoped that I hadn’t woken anypony. “Great another bloody nightmare” I checked the time on my iPod it was 01:00 am “what does it take for a guy to get a good night’s sleep” I mumbled to myself. I swung my feet over the bed and held my head in my hands trying to clear my thoughts I looked up across the room and saw my guitar leaning against the wall if there was one thing that could help me sleep it’s probably music.

I reached over and picked it up in my hands and sat in on my lap I checked quickly to see if it was still in tune it was and I began strumming

“We both lie silently still

In the dead of the night

Although we both lie close together

We feel miles apart inside

Was it something I said or something I did

Did my words not come out right

Though I tried not to hurt you

Though I tried

But I guess that's why they say”

Twilight’s POV

I woke up feeling a little groggy, probably from all that writing yesterday. I heard what sounded like a scream coming from downstairs. That sounded like matrix. I checked my bedside clock and it one o’clock in the morning. I slowly got out of bed and tried to stand up luckily I didn’t fall over. I saw spike still asleep in his bed. “He looks so cute when he’s sleeping” I said to myself I continued walking down the stairs towards the basement.

When I got to the door I could hear the sound of a guitar playing so I gently opened the door so I didn’t make any noise and I stuck my head round the door and I saw matrix, he was sitting on his bed playing his guitar but why at this hour. I sneakily moved down the stairs as not to disturb him.

Matrix POV

“Every rose has its thorn

Just like every night has its dawn

Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song”

“Every rose has its thorn”

“Yeah it does

I listen to your favourite song

Playing on the radio

Hear the DJ say love's a game of

Easy come and easy go

But I wonder does he know

Has it ever felt like this

And I know that you'd be here right now

If I could have let you know somehow I guess”

“Every rose has its thorn

Just like every night has its dawn

Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song”

“Though it's been a while now

I can still feel so much pain

Like the knife that cuts you

The wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains

I know I could have saved our love that night

If I'd known what to say

Instead of making love

We both made our separate ways

Now I hear you've found somebody new

And that I never meant that much to you

To hear that tears me up inside

And to see you cuts me like a knife”

“Every rose has its thorn

Just like every night has its dawn

Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song

Every rose has its thorn”

Stop music

As I finished playing the outro to the song I suddenly felt like I was being watched. I turned my head to see twilight was standing there looking at me with a mixed look of deep worry, and curiosity then before I could speak she beat me to it “matrix…is there something wrong?” I knew there was no hiding it “well to be honest twilight no….had another nightmare and It probably worse than the other one”….then she cut me off “you’ve been having night mares, since when, what are they about?” I sighed then spoke again

“I’ve been having them since I got here and….there about…about the mission. I haven’t had a nightmare in months until now the first one was when I saw my teammates die” I was desperately trying to hold back tears “and tonight It was about when I was being tortured I put my hand on my shoulder  trembling slightly. She put a hoof on my knee and spoke almost in a motherly like tone “matrix it’s alright it’s only natural to have them” at this point she had was hugging me and I returned the gesture

“thanks twilight” “and if it’s any help I’ll send a letter to the princesses in the morning to see if they can help at all” she said “yeah I would like that” I replied and we broke the hug I sighed in relief as I had finally got that of my chest. “and if you want I have a spell that can help sleep better until morning but I won’t be able to keep doing it forever” I smiled at the purple unicorn “thanks twi do your thing” I said before putting my guitar back against the wall and lying back on the bed, I looked over at her and I saw her horn began to glow. I suddenly felt sleepy and then I was out like a light.

Twilight was smiling as she looked at the now peacefully sleeping human on his bed, she was now very tired after performing that spell and so she went back to bed herself before she collapsed on the stairs.

Next morning I woke up feeling a whole lot better than last night. I flung myself out of bed and stretched out all the tension in my body and after hearing a certain click I let out a groan in relief. I walked over to the trunk containing my clothes and pulled out what I needed, a shirt, a pair of trouser and a pair of socks and underwear and put them on.

I had nothing planned for today so I came up with things to do but came up with nothing I then looked over to the other side of the room I noticed something sitting on the table next to the wall.

My flight suit and helmet.

Light bulb (“idea”) I spoke in my head, “I think a flying session is in order, feels like I haven’t flown in ages” I said to myself and walked over to the table.

A couple minutes later I appeared through the door into the main room wearing my flight suit with my helmet under my arms and my iPod and earphones in my pocket, twilight was sitting on the sofa reading a book as usual she looked up at me then asked out of curiosity “matrix what are doing and why are you wearing that” pointing a hoof at me “oh this, it’s my flight suit I’m going out for a spin if that ok with you” was my answer

“erm ok but aren’t you going to get something to eat I’ve made breakfast but you were sleep” “thanks twilight but I’m fine I’m not hungry but could you do me a favour and teleport me to my jet, I don’t want to go running through the whole town just to get there” “of course just one second” she said then quickly marked the page of the book she was reading and jumped of the sofa

She looked up at me then closed her eyes and her horns began to glow brightly and with a flash I was gone. I materialized in mid-air about a metre of the ground next to my jet and I landed on my feet almost falling over. I regained myself then climbed into the cockpit and strapped myself in to the seat. I flicked the switches to start up the engine and I was met with a high pitched whine of the turbines spinning up. I pulled out my iPod and plugged in my earphones then put my helmet on. I selected danger zone by Kenny logins and put it on repeat

(What top gun soundtracks are awesome and are perfect for flying) I pulled a lever to put the jet into hover mode and went full throttle. I felt a little bit of vibration in the pedals but that was normal I lifted off the ground then I moved the stick forward to begin flying straight. About sixty second later I was cruising through the clouds above the town almost near the speed of sound. As I was gazing at the scenery the song I was listening to reminded me of the scene from the top gun film where tom cruise did a close fly-by of the control tower. Then my inner troll took over my mind “let’s have soon fun with these pony’s” I said out loud over my music at full blast I banked to the left then began to dive down “let’s turn and burn I” again talking out loud whilst putting the throttle lever into the after burners. I was diving at a forty five degree angle towards the town gaining immense speed

Down below in the market place ponies where going about their daily businesses’ manning the stalls serving other ponies there goods and what not I was peaceful that is until a high pitched noise started getting louder and louder. Everypony was looking around for the source of the noise then one pony looked up and shouted “look up in the sky” they all did and what they saw was me heading towards to ground very fast but just at the last second I pulled up from the dive there was a massive boom noise that nearly threw every pony to the ground as I passed over the houses with mere metres to spare.

“WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO I STILL GOT IT!!!” I shouted whilst I performed a few barrels rolls then flew off into the clouds again out of site traveling faster than the speed of sound.

Stop music

Well the next chapter is here hope you all enjoyed it, I was watching top gun while I was writing this whilst also listening to the soundtracks as well major help it was too this is RM out

(earth, about 1 week later, time goes differently on both worlds, sometimes one goes faster, ya know alternate reality time shit stuff)

Humanity

what are we known for?

Great knowledge, great ingenuity, great power, great wisdom, there are many great accomplishments that humanity has made and discovered, throughout its existence.

But there is a darkness, to all living things.

We can be filled with bitterness, rage, selfishness, greed...........and the will to fight.

War, death and destruction, all part of the many things humanity cannot avoid, it in its nature, for it is a violent race, it always has been and it will always be.

it was once said that only the dead have seen the end of war.

it was once said that war never changes

and it was once said that all warfare is based on deception

it's always the same, it just takes different people to take the similar steps, to throw the first stone.

world war three

The rumours where true, for all those people who sat on the side of the street's everywhere, holding signs spouting 'the world is nigh', it was true.

they were right all along, Ben new it was true, he saw it, he saw the wheels of the world turn, and they had spun the wrong way. the world had spiralled into another global conflict.

it began just under 2 days ago, the new joint coalition of the north Koreans and the new Russian revolution army, with the dark horses at the head of the game, the engagement started on Berlin and Tokyo, Benjamin's birth town, his squad had no chance of getting there in time, the list of the dead was so high, Ben was greatfull none of his family where on the list, they had moved away from the city to the country many years ago, a smart move they had made.

but the dark horses didn't stop there, they spread, rapidly, attacking china, Alaska, Canada, the small parts of the U.S, Germany, Italy, Spain and France, everywhere, countries were locked in a stalemate with the new coalition, but they had yet to hit the final obstacle.

England and the whole of America, the two main country's left in the game where and and all the remaining forces were made to retreat.

over the past two days, Russian and Korean fighters had tried to penetrate the airspace and cross over from France and try and attempt to remove any kind of air support Britain had, but Ben's squadron and the rest of the RAF with the remnants of the other armed forces had stopped them sending any enemy jets into the channel, but they heard the worst was yet to come, they had intercepted the Russians radio signals and found something disturbing, the Russians were preparing for a mass raid, rallying fighters bombers and paratrooper planes.

the army, navy and air force's were drastically mobilized, setting up all along the south and eastern coasts lines and preparing AA battery's all in the major cities and coasts, and with the high casualties they has sustained over seas, the government declared any men or women over the age of sixteen to quickly sign up and get quickly trained with a gun and in combat and and any other pilots whether they where commercial or leisure, to join the air forces's .

but would it all be worth it.

all the lives that had been lost?

who knows?

for the endgame................begins now

"holy hell there's fucking hundreds of them!"

"where is the fucking navy, we need that anti air, now!"

"we got fighters and bombers incoming, get all our fighters airborne now!"

"where are the fucking *crackle* american carriers!"

"shit *fizz* mayday mayday, I'm taking hits! I'm heading in the ocean!"

"start the city evacuation procedures! we got incoming"

"incoming anti ship missiles brace for imAGGGGGGGH!"

"H.M.S. * cackle* do you copy *crackle*..............."

/-\ back in Equestria /-\

He held the ball in his hand, eye balling it and the equine players, to his left he could see his team of three others, two pegasi and a earth pony, to his front the other team of four earth ponies.

And then to his left where the group of mares who wouldn't stop staring at him, well he took his shirt of and that instantly got alot of attention, especially from the female population.

"lets go!" he shouted as he spun the ball of his finger before throwing it skyward and sending it over the net, one pony at the back dive bombed for it and sent it back over were his pegasi team mate knocked it back with a wing.

the round went on for thirty more seconds before Matrix Back dived bombed and used his foot to lob it over the net barely and hit the floor before they got it.

he sprung to his feet and let out a howl of pure win as the other team groaned at the failure whilst his team went for a round of high fives/hooves, the girls behind them kept on letting out giggles at them. but mostly at the human.

this time his pegasi team mate took the ball and launched it over with his wing and they bucked it back over, matrix cupped his hands and crouched leaped for it and sent it over again, one pony jumped for it and slammed it back down, one of his earth pony team mates headed kit back over and it landed on the ground before they got it airborne again

they knock it back over and matrix dived at it and nudged it up but it didn't get over the net and this time the other let out there howls, mat stood up and pushed his aviators up his nose and readied himself for the next round.

they played five more rounds before he checked his iPod in his pocket and realized the time, his friends should be here now, they where just about to start another game but he decided he'd had enough.

"alright guys I gotta go, got shit I need to do"

"aw come on friend we nearly have them" said his pegasi comm-padre

"sorry mate but I have friends to meet"

"aw come on please just one more game"

"nope sorry"

"please.....for me"

"don't try them puppy dog eyes on me pall I gotta go maybe later" and with that he started walking the other way across the beach with his sandals in hand and shirt around knotted through the loop on his shorts, that was until he heard somepony shout something

"hey come back here we ain't finished you pussy!" matrix turned and only laughed at that and flicked them of with the bird and walked away. not like they knew what the middle finger meant anyway but somehow they new some swear words.

(stop music if it hasn't already)

he walked off the sand and through the gate that parted the hotel complex and the beach and around the pool and into the reception building, thing is by now he would have expected to have his ass on the floor from being charged at by his friends, but strangely enough they weren't there, were they late, probably, oh well seen as they weren't here he went to go lounge around and take a dip in the pool/ but not before grabbing a towel from his room.

/-\ Earth, English channel coastal airbase, 1 hour after Black horse coalition attack began /-\

"LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO! GET THOSE PLANES RE-FUELLED AND REARMED NOW AND BACK IN THE AIR MOVE  MOVE MOVE!" shouted the commander of the airstrip that was at the front-lines of the attack. for over an hour missiles from ships, planes and ground vehicles had been volleyed at each other by both sides. Ben had just landed by the skin of his teeth just as a missile had shot past his canopy upon landing and was desperately impatient as was his team to get back in the air again.

"ALRIGHT BEHEMOTH AND CO, YOU GUYS ARE GOOD TO GO! GET YOU'RE ASSES BACK UP THERE NOW!"

"sir yes sir" Ben quickly saluted as he ran to get himself strapped back in, he and each of his team themselves were readying for another bout, they filed out onto the two separate runways and took to the skies to fight some more.

"alright guys you know what to do, anyone armed with anti ship or ground missiles go at them and the rest either protect there asses or the navy and armies asses"

"SIR" was his reply from them as they flew in formation over the white cliffs of Dover and over the channel where the greatest air battle since the battle of Britain had taken place over sixty years ago, Ben looked to the left and right at his squad mates then to his radar where thirty bandits came into few from there twelve o'clock.

"alright men, looks like we have a reception to host, LETS FUCK EM UP!"

'missile armed, target locked'

"I GOT TONE! FOX TWO!"

*FWOOOSHH!*

Youtube Video

since the guys hadn't arrived yet and the techs had set up the speakers so he could connect his laptop to the main rig, he decided to put on some relaxing music for the hole beach area to give it a bit more atmosphere from just being no music at all and besides the current hotels ambiance.

right now though, matrix himself was lying on a lilo in the middle of the pool in his swim trunks with his aviators on and a coconut drink in his hand as he idly floated around whilst singing along to the music coming out the speakers as it was played throughout the hotel complex (he offered them to play his music through there systems they let him do that and he got a bit of extra spending money for providing a 'musical service, for a 'free' service they payed well)

"don worry" he sang along in his best Jamaican accent

"abou a ting, cause every little ting is gonna be alrigh"

he took a sip of his drink and lay back down, but something blocked his sunlight and he didn't get a chance to see what it was just as a pineapple hit him square in the face, effectively making him lose his balance and fall in the water, at least he kept his drink above the surface.

"*cough, splutter* ok who's the cock bite that ruined my moment!"

"hay matrix breakfast!" shouted a familiar voice but again he didn't see who it was as another fruit made contact with his face again sending him underwater.

"ouch *cough* nice shot guess I owe you ten bits, bugger"

"silver, you prick, was there any need?" he questioned as he sipped his drink.

"nope"

"well.....well fuck you anyway"

"hahaha-agh!" mat responded to his laughter by throwing his coconut at his head, it was clearly affective.

"that's what you get" he laughed back but something else collided with his face sending him underwater. a mixture of cyan, white purple pink then orange and purple.

/-\ British channel airspace /-\

"BEN YOU HAVE 3 FUCKERS ON YOU'RE TAIL!"

"SHIT!" spin, a hard left, a hard right, a near missile miss here and a canon spray there, multitudes of flak and aircraft explosions appearing everywhere in the skies around Ben's canopy.

'was this it? is this what the world has become?'

Ben didn't have any more time to think as his radar lock screen went ape shit.

"today is just not my day"

crashed and burned on the first one, wasn't pretty! re-write complete

Hey there, let me introduce you to myself, my name is.................wait…………actually that's not important at this moment in time so for now just call me matrix, why? because it’s my call-sign, what’s a call-sign, well you see it kind of like a nickname because I’m a pilot specifically in a top ace squadron in the British royal air force, I’m probably one of the youngest pilots in the RAF today being only eighteen and all that, but that doesn't bother me in the slightest, I have many hobbies and talents besides flying in general.

music, one of my Favorite things, I can play very well on and acoustic or electric guitar, decently on drums, a fair bit on a piano and I can hold my own on a microphone as well as some small experience with electronic music

As well as music in a bit of an artist drawing the odd cartoon or landscape here and there but I’m no Picasso.

There’s just one hobby that most people wouldn't associate with me at all

My little pony friendship is magic

how I got into this show was a complete mystery to me, but I didn't care, in my honest opinion if thinks it very well done for a cartoon made for little girls/family, I like it because it's a very well made and thought out show, the animation is well drawn out much better than other shows I've seen in my earlier childhood, the characters are very likable as well and the morale's and comedy that's thrown in there are very humorous, most other 'Bronies' would agree with me here.

Bronies, that what we call ourselves the ‘unexpected’ male fans of the show, and I have to admit I am one to, but like most bronies sometimes it’s a little too hard to say out loud you are one, so I mainly kept it to myself, making me a closet brony, well I was until I got busted watching an episode on my laptop in the airfield's barracks, yes I got teased by the other pilot's, getting to odd comment here or two, but at least I 'had' my own squadron who didn't treat me like crap.

but today was just like any other day, boring, depressing, being me at the current moment was the best thing, around four months ago I had just come back from my deployment into Iraq and Afghanistan, some top secret mission, in other words it was a simple torch and burn op, destroy this supply train convoy that was heading for this splinter group of Al-Qaeda, Intel we had for the mission seemed pretty solid, train was supposed to be only escorted by technical s with machine that wouldn't do hell against a supersonic jet and not air enemy air cover, but nothing always goes to plan, turns out our Intel was complete bull and they did have air cover, they outnumbered all four of us three to one, all three didn't make it

but I did, now I’m stuck with the burden of keeping their memories going, and with the painful nightmares and depression of losing my only remaining people that I could friend's or even family for that matter.

Any way’s that was all four months ago and now I’m trying to move on

today was like any other day for me the past four months, sit around in the barracks on my laptop or iPod, practice flight time on the simulator or sit and watch ponies, MLP had helped me the past coming months but no so much it get me out of the state I had managed to put myself in. currently I’m sitting on the sofa in the lounge room playing a guitar that the other pilots play on when they have nothing better to do, I played a simple tune but I always ended up playing some sad melody which did nothing to help improve my mood, I peeked up from the guitar strings and gazed out the window

it wasn't particularly sunny and only a small hint of drizzle but the weather conditions were alright for a flight session, I didn’t feel like doing any exercise my body I already toned enough just from the initial training,  I sighed a depressed sigh as I set the old acoustic next to the damp furniture and made my way to the locker room , to get changed, walking down the hallway and making a left turn then through a single door in a room that would look similar to a swimming pools changing room, it was empty , since I was one of the very few that actually live on the base, I walked up to my own locker with my call-sign nameplate stuck to it.

Capt. Matrix

yeah, I’m a captain and in only eighteen, shocking maybe, for a an ‘eighteen’ year old pilot, you would never have thought to be that high  a rank at my age except it being be near impossible, but I made it happen, but sometimes I don't feel like I deserve it, pushing those thoughts out my head in put my key into my locker and pulled out my flight gear and set it on the bench next to me, I couldn't be bothered to change out of my normal clothing.

 camouflage trousers and a light grey t-shirt with combat boots, I slipped of my boots then proceeded to put my flight overalls on, when I finally managed to put them on I picked up my iPod and earphones from inside my locker and placed them into one of my pockets them I closed my locker, all I needed now was my helmet, I reached up and grabbed said item from atop of the locker and pulled down so I could see it.

it was and odd looking thing but looked pretty bad-ass, all black with a tinted visor, but I had made I little modification of my own, see I have a little thing for one of the characters of the show, well in other words I am obsessed with her so much that I literally bought a sticker of her cloud and lightning bolt cutie mark which Iput on the side of it, so yeah rainbow dash was my favourite character, she was a dare devil like me and if the show was right she likes rock 'n' roll like me, also she has an awesome hairstyle that I want so bad.

so for around five minutes I stood there gazing at the bloody thing before snapping out of my stupor and put the device upon my head then walked out the room to get myself down for a flight session

around ten minutes later all the forms and everything else that I would need were done a sorted so I walked at a brisk pace out the main building towards the hangers, they contained fighter jets ranging from harriers to the to be decommissioned tornadoes and typhoons to the few future bought American F-35's, luckily for me I got to fly one of the American bought jets, when I finally reached my hanger through the wide open door and inside stood the machine.

An American made f-35B STOVL (short take off vertical landing) this fighter jet could go Mach 1+ it can take very short runways or take off and land like a harrier.

although this variant of the F-35B had been built with a specialized storage container which was just further back of the fan that's behind the cockpit, this is for the pilot in case of a crash landing or emergency, as I walked up to the grey machine, I let a gloved hand run along the sleek nose of the fighter feeling the cold metal alloy surface. He reached a small step ladder which he walked up and climbed onto the jets back and moved over to where the compartment was, carefully unlocking it the pulling open the hatch, everything that I normally kept in there was still there.

 my laptop with cables if need be, I kept that in there since I wasn’t very trusting of the people who worked and lived here on the base and some things had been known to go missing from time to time, also in amongst the items in there lay my combat knife with plastic sheath and my M9mm Beretta pistol with spare clips as well a few other things like a spare change of clothes and a first aid kit with emergency rations too.

After checking all my belongings were still there I un-pocketed my iPod and placed in amongst them then shut the hatch then securely locked into place. I turned around and carefully clambered into the pilots seat, closing the canopy above my head and flipping the switches and dials until I finally the hear the all too familiar powerful whine of the engine spooling up, slowly the jet rolled out of the hanger and on the tarmac and into the light, I quickly flipped down my visor as a beam of sunlight burst through the cloud layer.

After a couple minutes of slowly navigating the taxi way, I arrived at the end of the runway

“Matrix two-five to tower requesting weather report runway clearance”

“Copy that captain, you have clearance to taxi to runway three- seven hold one until we get weather report”

“copy tower, clearance to runway wait one, out” hearing that I move the jet of the taxi way and onto the whit lined strip of tarmac and hold my position until I heard back from the tower

“Matrix two-five from tower, weather report today shows that there’s gonna be a severe storm from the south-west, winds speeds up to twenty five mph, heavy rain and possible sightings of lighting, all with the next half, would be advised to avoid if possible”

“Copy that tower, severe weather, permission for VTOL?”

“Permission granted runway is green have a nice flight sir”

“Copy that tower Matrix two-five out” with that I lowered the engine nozzle down at a ninety degree angle and put on full throttle, the nose would be deafening If I had been outside, after a few seconds I felt that feeling of weightlessness in my gut as the plane slowly ascended skywards, when I got to the correct altitude, I lowered the nose slightly to gain some speed effectively putting the plane into a shallow dive before angling the engine horizontal wise to get up to cruising speed, now I was officially in my element.

the feeling of no boundaries, the spectacular countryside and near bye city views, adrenalin fuelled speed, that’s pretty much my high after flying around aimlessly for an hour, I had kept myself away from the storm as possible but I time was running short and it was already getting dark, I can fly in the cover of darkness, it’s just that I don’t have as much training flying through a storm at night rather than during the day, I banked around looking at my radar a I noticed something that now put me on edge.

 The storm was closing in and the only way for me to head back to the base was to go through it!

“Lady Luck must really hate me today” I mumbled to myself before I heard another voice in the comms.

“Matrix two-five this is tower, advise you to come in now, storm is brewing up something fierce and the base and all near bye airports are recalling all flights from the ferocity from the weather”

“Matrix copy’s you tower, I was already heading back in any way”

“Roger two-five, make it home safe…..tower……out………….runway…………….lights…………on” at that point the weather had become bad enough it was messing so badly with the radio it only produced static

“Well……..fuck…….looks like I’m on my own out here” I spoke to no-one in particular then glanced at the storm

“Leroy Jenkins eats your heart out” was the last thing I said before entering the storm full of low esteem confidence.

Bloody shame though that that confidence went down the shitter in the next five minutes.

“holy Jesus Christ!” I shouted as I furiously struggled to keep the plane level, not the easiest thing to try in a storm where you get thrown around aimlessly with mother nature literally just saying into your face ‘fuck you I do what I want bitch’, so far I had refrained from being hit by lighting but visibility was becoming worse and worse with the rain battering down on canopy.

‘I can this, I can do this, just keep a clean head and well can all go home safe oh what the fuck!!”

‘Crack’

I had no time to react as the lightning bolt made contact with the airframe, almost instantly warning lights and notification started flashing, and then the engine stared spluttering before shutting off effectively turning of most of the instruments

“Not good, not good!” I tried desperately to keep control of the craft but with the engine out of commission this thing became a glider in gale force winds, I watched as the speedometer was picking up speed rapidly whilst the altimeter was dropping like crazy, then the plane began rolling to the side and the G-forces forced my body against my seat, my vision slowly started turning red as I could now the ground coming up, I tried to reach the ejecting handle but the force was too much for me to move so I was left to wait for the oncoming end.

“I’ll see you soon mom” I struggled to say I prepared for the end.

But he end never came, a bright light consumed my vision, I felt the ability to move my arms and quickly used them to cover my eyes, silence, no explosions, no fire, no pain, nothing, I moved my arms from my field of view, a vast infinite whiteness lay all around me, no matter where I looked it was all white, I looked down at myself and I too was clad in whit clothing, white shirt, trousers even shoes

“Where am I, am I dead, is this the after cause last time I checked I was atheist”

“No but consider it the cross roads it you wish” spoke a calm yet majestic voice

“Who are you?”

“Surely you must know me; you have seen me a dozen times on that piece of human technology of yours after all”

The voice this time was nearer to me, almost behind me in fact, dare I do it, fuck it I’m probably dead anyways, I turned my head and I’m become face to face with a creature I last expected to see, standing in front of me was the elegant Alicorn of the burning celestial body herself, Princess Celestia

“What, how is this possible, how is any of this possible!” I exclaimed

“Quite easily I assure you” oh great seems not only does celestia exist so does the mighty trollestia too, smite me oh mighty smiter.

“Hang a second I need moment to rack my brain around all this………..wait then this means that Equestria exists!! Am I Right?” *face hoof*

“Pretty obvious there wasn’t it”

“You could say that”

“Well princess, what do i do now?”

“Well to put it simply first hoof you have death”

“Don’t sound to promising”

“You’ll have ever lasting peace and the chance to meet some people again”

My eyes widened at this I wanted to know the second option

“And what my other choice"

“On the other hoof you have to chance to live in a new world, make some new friends and maybe start a new family, you wouldn’t have to worry about you old life again”

Tempting, very tempting but there was one thing I needed to know

“Can I go back to earth?”

“No, it is not possible, the crash would have killed you had I not intervened, I’m sorry to say earth is no longer an option”

I let out a sad sigh, earth my home for the last eighteen years, and what good has it been, full of bull crap, the amount of things I’ve been through in a seemingly short life time were horrid, something’s no-one should ever have to go through.

“Well I’ve made my decision princess; I think a new life sounds promising enough”

“Very well, I’m glad you made the right choice step forward” I did so and she lowered he horn to my forehead as it started to glow a bright yellow

“Oh and by the way I would suggest you brace for a big landing Captain Matrix”

“Wait how do you know name?”

“I’ll tell you later” was all she said as the bright light consumed my vision once more, after blinking a couple of times I saw that I was still seated in the jet’s seat but as I looked out the canopy window the setting around me had completely changed, the storm had gone and the city landscape in the distant were no longer and it was bright and sunny, it then took me a split second to realize that I’m still falling out the sky,

I grabbed to control stick and tried to glide the heavy beast as it dumbly flew over what looked like and eighteenth century town, I pulled with all my might to dodge the massive tree house looking building as the ground drew near

“Pull up pull up pull up pull up pull up” the robotic voice blared out

“Aw shit here we go” as the I aimed to land in a small field just outside the town’s edge

“Pull up pull up pull up pull……”

*crash*

I blacked out upon impact.

“Sir, I've lost contact with Captain Matrix; he’s just gone off the radar!”

“What, how?”

“Don’t know sir, his signature just isn't there!”

“Dear god, have the S.A.R. team sent out to his last know location immediately whilst you keep on the horn for him!”

“sir, All search and rescue teams get on alert, we have a pilot down in the storm two miles outside the city……………..sir S.A.R. has been dispatched”

“Good keep calling him of the radio, weather’s doing a number on the lines”

“yes sir, Matrix two-five this is tower do you read, Matrix two-five, do, you, read me………….”

getting a job…..and clothes…..and answering questions….great! Part 1

Morning ponyville, twilight’s basement, matrix (POV)

I didn’t sleep much that night even with that breath of fresh air, so I tried to come up with ways to help me go to sleep but no prevail, music didn’t help, I tried counting how much money the princess had given me, a whopping 10,000 bits even I was surprised at her generosity that’ll keep me going for a while I even should be able to buy a house for that money but decided it was a bit too early for that, I checked the time in my iPod and saw that it 09:00 on a Friday morning and I could hear movement around upstairs.

I needed a wash and some food for that matter so I grabbed my spare clothing from my rucksack and proceeded up stairs, as I opened the door an aroma caught my scent from the kitchen and I see twilight was making breakfast, eggs, toast, but not bacon, oh well I might as well get used to this meat free diet then twi caught me standing in the doorway “oh hey your awake did you sleep well I’m not the best cook but I hope it’s ok” “ok firstly I didn’t sleep as well as I wanted to but don’t worry about me and secondly it smell's great and can I ask where’s the bathroom cause I want to take a shower" i said “thanks and the bathrooms over there” she said pointing a hoof to the door behind me on the over side of the library which I walked over to but before I went into the room there was a knock at the door.

I walked over to door and opened to be greeted by a certain crossed eyed Pegasus

(OHMYGODITSDERPYHOOVES!!) “hi there” she said with a happy smile “I have a parcel for twilight sparkle and…hey aren’t you that human that the princess introduced to us yesterday” “I sure am name’s matrix" "hi I’m ditzy doo but you call me derpy” she held out a hoof and I shook it in return (u jelly) “well it’s been a pleasure ditzy, why don’t you give me that parcel so I can give it to twilight” “ok” she said then went rummaging through her saddle bags for the parcel.

“here you go” she said after finally pulling out of her bag “well I got to go there are more deliveries that need doing see you later matrix” and with that she flew off slightly lopsided “seeya”  I shouted after her then went back inside and shut the door behind me. “Hey twilight there’s a parcel here for ya” “ok just put it on the table breakfast is almost ready” she shouted back from in the kitchen. Alright well I’m just gonna go get a quick shower then” and walked in to the bathroom

After 5 minutes of sitting in a cramped shower I got out and dried myself off and put on the clean pair of underwear and trousers and put the towel on around my neck letting the water drip out of my hair onto it and walked out of the bathroom ducking slightly under the door. Twilight was floating in the plate of food from the kitchen and placed them on the table. I was drying of my hair and was almost about to put my clean shirt when there was another knock at the door “I’ll get it I said to twilight and walked over to the front door and opened it.

To my surprise there was a cyan Pegasus mare with rainbow mane and tail standing there with a tired look on her face “er rainbow dash what are you doing here this early I thought you would be in bed sleeping still” she looked at me with sleepy eyes and spoke “I couldn’t sleep well last night then I remembered I was going to help you get that job with DJ pon3” “oh yeah I completely forgot about that, hmm you look hungry do you want some breakfast” “yeah that would be great” I smiled and turned back to twilight

“Hey twilight is it ok if rainbow can have breakfast with us” “of course” was her reply so I turned back to RD who again was staring blankly at my bare upper torso. putting on an evil grin I leaned forward and whispered into her ear “you should take a picture it’ll last longer” (I had always to use that line) her face went red and her wings instantly flared out as I moved away back into the library putting on my shirt while rainbow just stood there stunned.

“Hey rainbow dash are you ok there” asked twilight  who was hovering another plate towards the table but looked over to her friend and tried to stop herself from giggling “y-y-y-yeah I’m fine” she said as she tried to put her wings back down and make her way towards the table. I was just quietly chuckling to myself as we all sat down and began to eat breakfast.

After breakfast I grabbed my rucksack with my iPod and laptop and set off towards the store where pon3 worked with dash hovering at my side. I got I few friendly waves In my direction which I returned then dash broke the silence

“you know That wasn’t cool what you did back at twi’s I’ll get you back for that” “aw I know you love me really” I said in a playful tone, dash blushed a little I was unaware if what was going on through her head just now.

We arrived at the store where pon3 lived and went inside. The bell rang as I opened the door and the albino mare behind the counter looked up from what she was doing to see the customers she was wearing her trade mark purple shades “hey welcome to pon3 records you must be that human everpony’s talking about “I sure am my name is matrix and you must be the famous DJ pon3, I’ve heard that you're offering a job as a DJ here am I right” “yes I am but you can call me vinyl scratch and yes I’m offering a job, you any good” “well I know the basic’s on how to work a turntable I can mix a little bit but I do have some really great music that you might like” I took of my rucksack and pulled out my laptop and put it on the counter, turned it on, signed in and opened up my music,

I found the song watercolor by pendulum, turned the volume up to 50 and pressed play,

the beginning seemed to confuse here at first but when it got to the chorus she was head banging hard to the music as was rainbow, when the song ended I asked vinyl “so...what do you think” “man that was AWESOME do have any more music like that” “I sure do In fact with my laptop I can play almost every song my kind has ever made” her mouth almost hit the floor when I said that. “dude that is cool I’ll consider hiring you but first I need to test your skills, come to the club I work at on Sunday at eight all we see if your good enough” “sounds like a plan” I said as I shook her hoof the closed my laptop and put it in my rucksack as I turned to leave I noticed a glass case near the back of the store

I Walked up to it and inside it was an acoustic guitar, it was covered in all sorts of cool designs and patterns I had never seen before there was a little label saying for sale on it, I turned to vinyl and asked her “hey vinyl how much is this guitar” oh that 500 bits but for you I’ll put it at 250 bits that’s if your any good” “sounds reasonable” I replied

She levitated the guitar out and into my hands then I sat on a chair with the guitar in my lap and played some basic chords, it was perfectly tuned,

I thought of a song that I new how to play fairly well and began to play

“never thought a train goin' any place could've changed my life

never thought i'd say i could go insane, 'til i saw your eyes

and i had to take another look to know for sure

that you could be for real

you found an empty seat sittin' next to me

and i asked your name

where you comin' from?

where you headed to this saturday?

'cause i'm gonna be out on the town

as long as you are goin' there with me”

“yeah and my head keeps spinnin'

you got me trippin'

there's something about the way you move

yeah, every little single thing you do is like

one part angel and one part danger

but, oh, the kind of crazy i like

you got me losing my mind

i'm losing my mind!”

(I looked up towards rainbow dash who was just standing there with her eyes closed swaying her head to the sound of the guitar. I then moved my gaze towards vinyl who was doing the same then motioned me with her hoof to keep on playing which I did)

“it's getting hard to sleep

getting hard to think 'bout much these days

'cause everywhere i go

only thing i see is your glowing face

and the way you light up every room you walk into

just makes me want to scream”

“yeah and my head keeps spinnin'

you got me trippin'

there's something about the way you move

yeah, every little single thing you do is like

one part angel and one part danger

but, oh, the kind of crazy i like

you got me losing my mind

i'm losing my mind!”

(thoughts of rainbow flying through the clouds alongside me kept appearing in my head all through the song)

“can't understand why you got me so far gone

you're gonna have to lock me up before too long

you've got me losing my mind”

“yeah and my head keeps spinnin'

you got me trippin'

there's something about the way you move

yeah, every little single thing you do is like

one part angel and one part danger

but, oh, the kind of crazy i like

you got me losing my mind

i'm losing my mind!

you got me losing my mind

i'm losing my mind!”

i finished playing the song and looked towards the two mares who were just standing there amazed at my little performance

“That was awesome” vinyl said out load “hey thanks vinyl so was I any good then” “heck ye you were good in fact you were amazing, we should totally do some recording some time” I’ll keep that in mind” I stood up and pulled out my bag of money and pulled 250 bits and gave them to vinyl

Then she went back behind the counter and pulled out some more stuff.  She floated over a guitar pick (don't ask me how they would use them) and a soft case for free (score) as a free gift.

“Thanks again vinyl” I said putting the guitar into its case with the pick as well then  slung it onto my back the proceeded out the door followed by rainbow dash.

“Remember to bring your music on Sunday yeah” she shouted out the door “will do” I said turning and giving a mock solute then me and dash walked back through the center of town.

“So where are we going next then” asked RD “that would be rarity’s place I said I would stop by so she could make me some clothes” I was instantly regretting my decision as I knew for the next couple of hours it was going to be a living hell but pushed that thought aside.

“erm you’re probably gonna have to show me the way again cause I still don’t know where I’m going I said awkwardly “its ok just follow me” replied rainbow “alrighty then let’s get a move on, onwards to the carousel boutique!” shouting out loud earning a few stares from the locals while rainbow was just laughing uncontrollably.

For the whole trip rainbow was flying just in front of me surprisingly not saying a word.  Ok I knew there was something wrong, something was bothering her, I said to myself I’ll ask her later but I was knocked back into reality by a cyan Pegasus prodding my shoulder saying my name

“matrix hey matrix can I ask you something” “erm yeah what is it dash?” I replied curiously “well last night couldn’t sleep well so I went outside for a little flying session and when I stopped to have a rest I saw you walking round town, looked like you were really upset about something, what’s wrong?”  “sigh well dash I might as well spit it out, last night I couldn’t sleep either, I had….I had a nightmare, it was about that day, I saw my teammates die again, I haven’t had a nightmare ever since…ever since the mission, I woke up thinking that I had died as well but I knew I hadn’t since I’m in the most beautiful place I ever could imagine with people….pony’s that I could call friends, real friends that actually care for me so I decided to take a walk to help calm my nerves and take it all in”

I didn’t expect what happened next rainbow had flew over and wrapped her fore legs around me and was hugging me fighting tears I didn’t know what to make off this so I hugged her back “hey, hey what’s wrong  dashie” I said in a calming voice her ears picked up when I called her that and she lifted her head out of my chest to look at me “its j-j-just that you shouldn’t have had to go through all that, it’s just that it reminded me of when I was younger in flight school, all alone without anypony to care for you, she was really close to breaking so I tried to make her feel better.

“hey come on now you’re rainbow dash the fastest, most bravest mare in all of equestria you shouldn’t be crying over something that you couldn’t prevent, you’ve got friends who care about you as well as me, tell you what how about we talk about this later when I’ve finished what I need to do yeah” “ok” she said but she wouldn’t let go of me so I carried her in my arms which she didn’t seem to mind at all and we carried on towards rarity’s

“I don’t know what to think right now” I thought to myself “I have the mare that I had always wanted to meet in my arms she really is loyal to her friends but that doesn’t explain why she’s been acting all weird around me, when I first got here she attacked me in fear that I would hurt her friends but she she got upset when she realized she had done wrong and when I apologized to her then there’s the incident when she was staring at me when I showed everypony my shoulder and this morning when I played that little joke on her the look on her face said it all”

then the thought hit me “oh my god she…she likes me…no she can’t she hardly even knows me… but all the facts point to it and….oh god… she really does like me if only I saw it earlier but.. I can’t tell her that I know, not yet anyway ,I knew back on earth that I had a little bit of a crush on her but that was all before It became real”, I then felt something that I hadn’t really felt before, I felt that I really cared for this pony, she was like me in ways and we had sort of similar pasts,  it felt more than a crush It felt like….it felt like love, love that I never felt before and that I really cared for her  and wanted to be there for her, I guessed that she must be thinking the same thing but didn’t know that I cared for her, well I had a surprise for her later.

And with those thoughts clouding my mind I carried on walking with the cyan bundle in my arms smiling all the way towards my destination

Well I was certainly struggling to write this chapter but I think I did alright but that’s up to you readers part 2 will be coming soon…….…I hope
