Or a new enemy?Painfull introductions Painfull introductions Raiden POV, "Ehm hello everypony" I said. "I think I pronounced it right." I thought to myself. After a few seconds of awkward silence everypony started to run away. "Well I'm of to a good start!" I thought. After all of the pony's left, I walked over to Twilight and her friend "at least I think these were her friends, I know that Fluttershy is her friend, but I don't know the other two. I checked every one of them until, I walked over to the cyan pony with the rainbow mane. "Hmm lets see, her wing isn't broken it's just dislocated, well I can try to reset it, but that could make things worse, I think that it's for the best to take these four back to the library." I said to myself. I quickly picked all of them up and put them under my arms. "Luckily for them I don't smell that bad" I said and let out a small chuckle. It was a ten minute run to Twilight home and when we arrived I quickly put Fluttershy, Twilight and the orange pony down on the couch. I then went upstairs and put the cyan one on Twilights bed, I checked her wing for the second time and I could see that it started to swell, so I went into Twilights kitchen and looked for some ice, after five minutes of searching I suddenly heard a voice coming from upstairs. "Twilight are you there?" The voice said. I turned around and what I saw shocked me a little bit. I saw a dragon standing in front of me! But not just a normal dragon no it was a little dragon, a baby you could say. "W...whoa what are you?" It asked. "I am lightening the rain transformed" I said to him, god I love that line, thanks again Snake. "Wha?" It said. "Never mind, Hey do you know where I can find some ice around here?" I asked. "Why would you need ice?" It asked. "because one of Twilights friends is hurt." I said. "What, how do you know Twilight, what did you do to her!?" he asked. "I didn't do anything, those she just fainted like the rest." I said in a matter of factly tone. "What do you mean like everyone else, don't you mean everypony? But what do you mean like the rest?" It asked. "Turn around and you’ll know what I mean." I said. The dragon did what I told him to do, but when he saw Twilight on the couch unconscious, he started yelling at me. "WHAT DID YOU DO!?" It asked. "Listen kid you can accuse me of anything you want, but wouldn't it be better to get some medical attention for your friends first?" I asked. I knew how to handle this situation, the poor dragon was just worried of his friends, so it would be best not to scare, nor provoke him. "So are you going to keep yelling at me or are you going to get some help?" I asked. "Alright I'll write a letter to the princess and ask her to bring her medical team with her." The dragon said. "Why not bring them to the hospital?" I asked "Would you really think that's a good idea, I mean look at you you’re a 7 feet tall walking monster!" The dragon said. "Yeah I guess you’re right, well then go write that letter, but isn't it going to take like a week for the princess to receive it?" I asked. "Uhm no, when I sent a letter to the princess she gets it in like one minute or so. The dragon said. "Really? How?" I asked. *Uhm magic ofcourse.* It said. "Magic, yeah right and if pigs could fly." I said sarcastically. "What?" He asked confused about what I just said. "Nothing all I'm saying is, magic doesn't exist." I said in a matter of factly tone. "Yes it does, from what part of Equestria are you?" It asked. " First I'm not from Equestria and second, if you’re so confident about, magic being real why won't you show it to me." I said in a mocking tone. "Okay watch." It said. I watched as the dragon wrote his letter to the princess, when he was done he rolled it up and then burned it!? Wait what, why would you burn a letter!? I kept watching the whole scene as the letter turned into green dust? And suddenly vanished our of the window. "See now do you believe me?" He asked. "Uhm I guess, so when will the princess arrive?" I asked. "Right about...........now." It said. I looked outside and I saw a bright light appear and then I saw her, the princess, she was a unicorn but she had wings!? But instead of seeing the princess surrounded by doctors and medics, I saw a princess surrounded by guards in golden armor. "What the hell?" I thought I asked for a medical team not the princesses guards. What did that dragon write to her. "CREATURE STEP OUT OF THE LIBRARY WITH YOUR HOOVES IN THE AIR!" One of the guards yelled. "Shit." I mumbled. I stepped outside the library and took notice of my surroundings. There were at least twenty guards, with full armor. But what bothered me the most was : why would a princess put herself in danger? For all she knew I could be very dangerous, is she afraid her guards can't handle me? I'm sure they have been trained well. While I was busy thinking about the princess, one of the guards thought it would be a good idea to throw a spear at me. The spear came right at me but it didn't do much it simply bounced of my armor. "What the hell was he trying to accomplish with that?" I thought. When the guards realized that their spears would do no damage to me, their horns lit up and they started shooting bolts of lightning at me? I dodged as many as possible but damn these guys have good aim! I got hit several times and to be honest it kind of hurt I didn't know how or why. "I thought my pain inhibitors reduced all the pain?" I said to myself. But maybe and I say maybe it could be that that little dragon was telling the truth and that there really is magic. "No I can't allow myself to believe that bullshit." I thought. But then out of nowhere a gold bolt of magic, or lighting, or whatever the fuck it was, hit me in my chest and sent me flying backwards. "Aaaaaaah!" I Screamed in pain. "Damn that one really hurt." I thought. I looked up to the princess and I saw a look on her face that said one thing : Don't fuck with this princess. I got up and decided it would be best to talk instead of cutting them to pieces. "Hey I just want to- AAAAAAAH!" I screamed. The fucking princess didn't even let me finish my sentence! No instead she shot another fucking bolt at me, I was starting to get really pissed right now! "Why won't you let me handle this?" A voice asked. "Who said that!?" I asked "Ohhw come Jack you know who I am." The voice said. "No it can't be." I said. "What do you mean it can't be? Of course it can" The voice said while laughing. "I vowed to never let you out again." I shouted. "Oh come on Jack just let me take over, just this once? Hahahaha!" The voice laughed hysterically. "No no no no nooooooooooooo!" I screamed. And then the only thing I heard were the screams of the past, the present, and even the future, all I saw was blood and death. I got up and ran at full speed towards the princess...... Celestia POV, It was just a normal day at Canterlot, I just finished all my paperwork and in a few hours I would have a meeting with a few scientist, the reason why well.....because yesterday there was an abnormally amount of magic above the Evertree forest, I was awoken from my sleep by it. So the next day I wrote a letter to the University Of Canterlot, to see what they could tell me about this amount of magic suddenly appearing out of nowhere. It was 4pm almost time for the meeting, that was until I received a letter from my faithful student Twilight Sparkle "Strange “I thought Twilight already sent me her report on friendship for this week. I said to myself. I opened the letter and started to read it, after I finished reading, I quickly ordered one of my guards to gather around twenty more, after a few minutes twenty-four guards arrived. "Guards!" I shouted. "Yes your majesty!" They all said in union. "I fear that the peaceful town of Ponyville is in danger." I said. "We will go there and neutralize the treat, am I understood?" I asked. "Yes your majesty!" Was their response. "Very well we shall depart immediately." I said. And with that said I teleported myself and the royal guard to Ponyville, only to encounter one of the most intimidating creatures I had ever seen. It walked on its hind legs and it probably around 7 feet tall, it wore black armor or at least I think it was armor because his skin had a different color, it appeared to be missing an eye and it had some sort of cutie mark on its face, it had almost no fur except for its head. It didn't surprise me that the creature could speak Equestrian, Spike had already told me about that in his letter and he also told me that it hurt Twilight Sparkle and her friends, that was enough reason for me to see it as a treat to Equestria. One of my guards was apparently frightened by the creature and thought it would be a good idea to throw a spear at it, boy was he wrong, the spear simply bounced of its armor, I thought it was going to strike the unfortunate guard down, but instead of doing that it simply kept staring at me. I thought it was going for me and my guards thought that as well, they started firing bolt of magic at it, I was surprised to see the creature dodge so many of my guards blasts, but it got hit nonetheless. After that I saw a opportunity, so I also shot a bolt of magic at it, this seemed to hurt the creature, but it was still standing, it said something to me but I simply ignored it and shot another blast at it, this one being more powerful. After that the creature went flying backwards and landed face-down on the ground. I thought it had been defeated, but I was wrong so wrong, the creature started talking to someone that wasn't here. "Who is it talking to, your majesty?" One of the guards asked. "I do not know." I said. Then suddenly the creature got up and ran towards at a speed I couldn't possibly imagine and before it grabbed me by my horn, I feared the worst, if the creature would break of my horn I could possibly die. I heard a loud "CRACK" and I thought I was done for, but then I realized something : No pain? What how can this be? When I opened my eyes I couldn't believe my eyes, the creature didn't break my horn no it broke the appendage that was holding my horn. I then saw an opportunity and I shot a powerful bolt of magic at it, sending it backwards and knocking it out. "Your majesty are you alright!?" One of the guards asked. "Yes I am fine, but we must get this creature to the hospital as quickly as possible!" I ordered. "Yes your majesty!" The guard saluted and ordered the others to lift the creature up by using their magic. I don't know why I didn't turned this creature into stone or banished it to the sun, something was............off about this creature it could have killed me but it didn't. "Why didn't it kill me" I thought to myself. It looked like it was going to kill me, but it didn't, it was almost like a part of it didn't want to kill me, like something was forcing it to do it. Whatever it was I needed to find out, maybe I misjudged it after all. "Commander!" I shouted. "Yes your majesty!" He said. "Tell the medical team to go inside the library and help Twilight and her friends, from the information I got from Spike's letter one of them is severely injured." I ordered him. "Right away your majesty" He saluted and went to the medical team. I walked to the library and went inside to check on my little pony's, I just hope the creature didn't hurt them too much. Ponyville has been through a lot today, first the Diamond Dog raid and now this! Can things get any worse? I went inside the library and I saw that my faithful student was already awake. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight said with. "My dearest Twilight Sparkle, how are you feeling?" I asked. "I'm feeling better, I just passed out that's all." Twilight said. "I am grateful that you are alright." I said. I saw Twilight looking around the library as if she was looking for something and she then asked me a question I kind of expected her to ask "Uhm princess you didn't happen to encounter a strange creature while you were here did you?" Twilight asked. My dearest Twilight Sparkle I think you might want to sit down for this, it is a long story. Meeting the princessesRaiden POV, The first thing I noticed when I woke up was that I was not in Ponyville anymore. "What the hell?" How did I end up here? I thought. I looked around and I noticed that I was in a bright white room I was in bed, the bed wasn`t too comfortable probably because it was build for ponies, I then heard something outside of the door. "Is the creature awake?" I heard someone ask. "Not yet, but I think it will wake up in a few hours or so." The other one replied "Ok contact me immediately when it wakes up." The other one ordered. "Yes your majesty." The other replied. "What happened? " I asked myself. All I remember is that I talked to that dragon and then the next thing I know I’m being attacked by the prin-- OH THAT`S RIGHT I REMEMBER NOW, THE FUCKING PRINCESS. Just then the door opened and revealed a pony, a pony with a white coat, pink mane and tail, blue eyes, a nurse cap and a tattoo? What is up with those tattoos almost everyone of these ponies has one. And this one has a tattoo of a red medical cross with a pink heart in each corner. Strange I thought, I’ll have to ask Twilight about those tattoos. The pony (which I assumed was a nurse of some sort) just stood there looking at me with open mouth. I then decided to break the awkward silence. "You might want to close your mouth, you’ll catch flies if you keep it open." I said jokingly. "Y-Y-Y-You can talk?" She asked What is it with these ponies finding it extraordinary that I can talk, I then decided it would be for the best to be as polite as possible. "Yes I can talk, now would you please tell me where I am?" I asked trying sound as polite as possible. "Y-You’re in the Ponyville Hospital". She said. "The hospital..... heh figures." I said. "Y-Yes you where in pretty bad shape when the princess brought you in here." She said. "Wait did you just say the princess brought me here? Why would she do that?" I asked. "I-I don’t know, all I know is that your left appendage was broken when she brought you here, we had to perform surgery on you to stop the internal bleeding, and I have to say it was one of the most difficult surgery’s we have ever preformed." She said. "You fixed my broken arm? Well then I owe you one." I said. "Nonsense you were a pon-- errh what is your species called?" She asked. "Human." I simply replied. "Ok Human got it, as I was saying, you where a Human in need of help and it doesn’t matter what you are or where you are form all that matters is that we can get you back on your hooves as soon as possible."She said "Alright thanks, oh and by the way these things," I said while pointing at my legs, "are called legs" I said. "Legs you say? What a fascinating creature you are." She said. She then teleported a notebook out of nowhere and started writing, when she was finished she explained to me that princess Celestia brought me here after our little encounter, she told me that I was in critical condition and if the princess brought me in ten minutes later I would not be walking on Eqruestia anymore. "What’s your name by the way?" I asked. "My name is Nurse Redheart." She replied "The princess would like to speak with you creature." Nurse Redheart said. "My name is Raiden, so please stop calling me creature." I said politely. "Oh my bad I’m sorry Mister Raiden." Nurse Redheart replied. "Please call me Raiden mister makes me feel old." I said. "Oh ok I’m sorry if I offended you in any way. Nurse Redheart said. "That’s alright don’t sweat it." I said "Excuse me? " Nurse Redheart asked "Oh never mind that." I replied sheepishly. "Excuse me for one moment Raiden I need to tell the princess that you are awake." Nurse Redheart said. "Wait I don’t think that’s a good idea, the last time I met the princess it didn’t go so well." I said trying to avoid another incident with the princess. "Don’t worry Raiden I’m sure the princess won’t do whatever she did to you back then again." Nurse Redheart said. "If you say so, but don’t say I didn’t warn you." I replied. "I won’t Raiden, I won’t." Nurse Redheart replied. After that she walked out of the room, when she was gone I had some time to think about what to say against the princess. "Hmmm, maybe I should just tell her to *fuck off*." I thought. "Nah that wouldn’t be nice of me now would it?" I thought. After a few more minutes about me thinking what to say to the princess, the door opened and revealed Nurse Redheart and the princess standing in the door opening, I also noticed that there was another pony next to the princess this one looked a lot different than the other two pony`s, Her coat is a darker shade of blue, and her mane is partially translucent, rippling and sparkling. "How the hell is that even possible?" I thought to myself. "Hello creature." the princess said. "Hello princess good to see you again." I said sarcastically. "I know our latest encounter was..... Wasn’t what you expected it to be." The princess said "Which part do you mean? The part where you shot bolts of lightning at me, or the fact that you slammed me into the ground and nearly killing me?" I asked. "I am truly sorry for my acts but I received a letter from my students assistant Spike about a creature that had hurt my student Twilight Sparkle and her friends." The princess replied. "Wait is Spike a little baby dragon with no wings and a big mouth?" I asked. "Yes why do you ask?" the princess asked. Well...... I started telling the princess that I didn`t hurt Twilight and her friends but I merely tried to help them, I also explained that I told Spike to get some help for them and that he was probably scared of me and decided to call for back-up. "I see. I am truly sorry that this happened if there is anything I can do to make it up to you I would be happy to do so." The princess said. "Well there is one thing you can help me with." I started. "And what would that be?" The princess asked. "Would you mind explaining to me how the hell I got here and how I’m going to be able to return to my world." I said hoping to get some answers. "I am afraid I won’t be able to do both." The princess said. "Why not?" I asked. "Because it is a mystery for me to as to how you arrived here and how you are going to get back to your world". The princess said. "Well that’s just great! " I said sarcastically. "I am sorry that I cannot help you, but before me and my sister return to Canterlot we would like to know more about you." The princess said. "Ok, only if I get to know more about you, but don’t forget I haven’t forgiven you for assaulting me." I replied. "Alright then it’s a deal, but firs let us introduce ourselves, I am princess Celestia co-ruler of Equestria and this (princess Celestia said while motioning to the blue pony) is princess Luna also co-ruler of Equestria." Princess Celestia said. "I guess I`ll have to introduce myself as well." I thought "My name is Raiden and I am a Human from the planet Earth." I replied. "Earth? Why would thou name a planet after the dirt below our feet?" Princess Luna asked. "I don’t know, I didn’t name the planet." I replied "O-Oh o-ok." Princess Luna replied. "Well then Raiden what is your planet like?" Princess Celestia asked. "Well it’s similar to this planet, on my planet we have seven continents, I am from a continent called America or U.S.A." I said. "U.S.A?" Princess Luna asked. "It stands for United States of America." I replied. "Oh ok, but what is your country like does it have magic?" Princess Luna asked. "Here they go again with the magic bullcrap." I thought. "What is it with you ponies and magic, you know magic doesn’t exist right?" I said When I looked at the princesses they had a confused look on their face. "What does thou mean magic does not exist, if magic does not exist how would thou explain this." Princess Luna said. I looked at princess Luna only to see her horn being covered in a blue aura, when suddenly I found myself covered in the same blue aura that was covering Princess Luna`s horn. "H-Hey! put me down!" I ordered. Princess Luna looked at me for a few seconds and then she put me down on my bed again. "Does thou believe in magic now Raiden?" The princess asked. "I-I guess." I said while still processing what just happened. "Raiden I have to ask you something important." Princess Celestia said. "Yes what is it princess?" I replied. "Why didn’t you go through with it?" She asked. "Go through with what"? I asked. "With breaking of my horn." She replied. After princess Celestia had said that, princess Luna`s mouth stood wide open. "Thou did what to our sister!?" Luna shouted in a very loud voice. "Luna please calm down!" Celestia shouted in the same volume. "But sister it could have killed you if you hadn’t stopped it!" Luna said, while cooling down a little. "Luna, I know what Raiden tried to do and I know that he is sorry for what he did, isn’t that right Raiden?" Celestia asked. "Yes and just to let you know princess Luna, princess Celestia didn’t stop me, I stopped myself by breaking my own fucking arm! But that’s the past, now it’s my turn to ask a question again." I said. "And what would that question be?" Celestia asked. "What are those tattoos on your rears?" I asked. "You mean our cutie marks?" Celestia replied. "Cutie mark? What the hell kind of name is that for a tattoo?" I thought. "Well what is a cutie mark?" I asked. "A pony gets their cutie mark when he/she discovers his/hers special talent." Celestia replied. "Ok, but what does yours mean?" I asked while pointing at her cutie mark. "Well mine represents the sun." Celestia said. "Why? Do you have some special connection to the sun?" I asked confused. "Well in way yes, I raise the sun every day." The princess replied. "What? Did you just say you raise the sun.?" I asked. "Yes I do and my sister raises the moon every night." Celestia replied. "That’s not possible, you can’t just raise the sun it’s impossible." I replied. "It is not impossible. What my sister speaks of is the truth." Luna said. "Yeah right and I’m supposed to believe that" I asked mockingly. "Well why won’t we give thee a demonstration, because I believe it is time to raise the moon, right sister?." Luna asked. Celestia nodded in response. I wanted to reply but I was cut-off by Celestia who just told me to, sit back and enjoy the show. At first I didn’t know what she was talking about, but when a golden aura started to cover her horn I knew what she meant with sit back and enjoy the show. I watched as the princess closed her eyes, I then looked to princess Luna and I saw a blue aura covering her horn, I looked outside of the window and saw that the sun was indeed lowering and the moon started rising. "What the hell?" I thought. After a few seconds the sun was completely lowered and the moon fully raised. "Does thou believe us now Raiden?" Luna asked. "Y-Y-Yes I guess I do princess Luna." I replied. "But how? How do you do it? What kind of technology do you use?" I asked. "We do not use this technology you speak of, we simply used our magic." Luna replied. "So you where not lying about the whole magic thing?" I asked. "No we spoke the truth." Luna replied. "Alright, Raiden I bid you farewell, it is time for me to return to Canterlot." Celestia said. "Oh yes our sister needs her beauty sleep." Luna replied mockingly. "Luna! Even I need my sleep." Celestia replied. Luna just giggled and replied with a simple good night sister. After that the princess just went *poof* and she was gone. "Uhm?" I asked. "Teleportation spell." Luna simply replied "Oooookaaaayyyyy." I replied. It was just me and princess Luna, Nurse Redheart had already left when the princesses arrived in my room. "So what do you want to know?" I asked. "Well first of what happened to you left eye?" Luna asked. "Crap! Out of all things she just had to ask that question." I thought. "That’s something I’d rather not talk about" I replied. "Oh ok we understand." Luna replied. "Second question why did thou not attack my sister or her guards when she started attacking thee" Luna asked. "I didn’t want to I just wanted to help some friends in need" I replied. "You consider Twilight Sparkle your friend?" Luna asked clearly confused. "Well yes I do, she was nice enough to let me stay in her house, even if it was just a couple of minutes." I replied. I let out a yawn and that could only mean one thing. "Tired are we?" Luna asked. "Well yes I am kind of tired so if you don’t mind your majesty." I said. Luna looked at me for a few seconds but finally got the clue. "I will leave thee to rest, tomorrow my sister and I will return and we will pick up where we left." Luna replied. "Alright I’ll see you tomorrow." I simply replied. After a few seconds I heard a *pop* and when I looked over my shoulder princess Luna was gone. "Finally some peace and quiet." I said to myself. After a few more minutes I drifted of to sleep, only to be back in those nightmares of my past and the present, but this time I was not alone. NightmaresLuna POV: I don’t trust this Raiden he seems to be telling the truth but there is something about him I just don’t like. "Well I guess we will have to wait until tomorrow, unless…….No I can’t do that…….Right?" I thought. "Well I suppose a quick look won’t do any harm right? Well then Raiden prepare yourself because today you will not be alone in your dreams." I said to myself. After a few more second I teleported to the Ponyville Hospital and then went into Raiden’s room. "Ah he is fast asleep, perfect now it`s time to see what your dreams are all about." I thought. After a few more moments of deciding what to do when my sister would find out about this I decided to enter his dreams and stay there just for a few minutes………Or hours, I mean what can the chances be that Tia would find out about this. "Alright Raiden time to see what your dreams are all about." I said with much enthusiasm in my voice. When I entered Raiden’s dreams, I could not see a thing, but after a few more seconds I saw something……..Something big, like a city, or a town. After getting closer and closer to the city I was completely blown away, the city was humongous it was like Canterlot but much bigger and……Dustier? The city looked like one of the city`s you would see in Saddle-Arabia, but of course much bigger and different. I went closer to get a better view, but merely four seconds later something came right towards me, something big, it was like anything I had ever seen, it had the shape of a rectangle and it was black, as a reflex I jumped aside and after that I wanted to face-hoove myself. "How can I forget, I`m in a dream and nothing can happen to me." I thought to myself. I decided I would follow the thing because I had a feeling I could get more answers from it. When I followed the thing I could hear voices come out of it, so I assumed that there where Hoomans in it, at least I believe that is what Raiden called himself. I decided that I would try to get in the thing, but since I was in a dream it wasn`t a problem at all. "When I was inside I saw Hoomans, six to be exactly and one of them was……Raiden. How convenient." I thought. It did feel kind of weird, I am in a dream, I am in this strange thing and to top it all off I was underneath Raiden, well not exactly underneath, but you know I am able to go through anything in a dream so technically I was ‘inside’ the vehicle. But then something happened, something that made me doubtmy previous comment …….Was this really a dream or was it a nightmare? Youtube Video After the scene I was both sad and horrified. What did I just see!? First I see this huge city and then all of a sudden this happens, why would they kill each other? Why would they do such horrible things? That poor prime-minister, he didn`t do anything and they still killed him!? And why was Raiden involved in all of this? All those questions, but they would not be answered unless I asked Raiden. And then it hit me……Raiden was holding back when they tried to arrest him! He could have easily taken out those royal guards that attacked him and he could easily have (how much it pains me to admit it) taken down my sister. "Just what are you Raiden, what are you not telling us?" I asked myself. I then felt something pulling me out the dream. "H-Hey! What is happening!?" I shouted. "You don’t belong here." Someone said. "Who art thou." I asked "None of your business." He replied. "I princess Luna demand to know who thou are and why We are here in this dark void!" I demanded using my Royal Canterlot voice. "You are in a dark void yes, you are also in my domain and something else. You thought what you saw was bad? You just wait and see hahahahaha." He replied laughing maniacally. "What does thou mean with you just wait and—AAAAAH!" I screamed I was interrupted by a sharp pain in my chest, when I looked down to see what was causing the pain I was horrified. I got impaled by a sword! "What, why is this happening? This is a dream this should not be possible, I should not feel this horrible pain." I shouted while tears started forming in my eyes because of the pain. "Ahwww is the princess going to cry?" He asked mockingly. I looked up from my impaled chest and what I saw blew my mind, It was Raiden standing in front of me, but he looked different, there was a red glow covering him and his voice was low and cold. "R-R-Raiden? *sob* is that *sob* thou?" I asked. "I`m sorry Raiden is not available at the moment." Raiden said. "What art thou *sob* talking about Raiden? Thou art standing right in front of me." I said. "You got it all wrong princess, why wont you ask Raiden when he wakes up Im sure he would love to explain." Raiden said sarcastically. "Please just let us go." I demanded. "Yeah I'll let you go but only because I'm in a good mood today, but please feel free to visit more often, I really enjoy your company." Raiden said. I then something being pulled out of my chest, I looked down and saw that the sword was no longer there and the pain was completely gone as well. I saw that Raiden had his sword back and he held it in one of his appendages after a few seconds of silence he came running towards me with incredible speed and he lifted his sword up. "Untill the next time princess." Raiden said. I looked up and I saw that he was closing in fast, I closed my eyes and prepared for the worse. I thought I was going to feel a horrible pain but instead when opened my eyes I found myself inside Raiden room and outside his dream. "W-what just happened?" I asked myself. I looked down and I saw Raiden moving around in his bed and mumbling something about a certain 'Ripper'. "I need to tell Tia about this immediately." I thought to myself. And with that I left the Ponyville Hospital and I started heading towards Canterlot with a lot of questions, but one question I wanted answered the most. "Just what is Raiden not telling us?" I asked myself. Proper introductionsRaiden POV: I awoke from my slumber with a strange feeling, like someone was watching me. "It's probably my imagination." I thought. "Hello Raiden, slept well?" I heard someone ask. I turned around and I saw Nurse Redheart standing beside my bed. "Well to be honest no I didn't sleep well, the bed is too small......Or I'm just too big." I replied. "Well I have good news then." Nurse Redheart replied. "Really what is it?" I asked. "Well for some reason your body healed extremely fast and because of that I see no reason of keeping you here." Nurse Redheart replied. "So what you are saying is?" I asked. "I am saying that you won't be needing any medical attention, you are free to leave the hospital whenever you want." Nurse Redheart replied. "Really? That's great and all but where am I supposed to go?" I mean I'm still a alien creature right. "I think I can answer that question for you." Someone said. I looked to where the voice was coming from and to be honest I was not surprised, it was princess Celestia, but for some reason princess Luna was not with her. "Hello princess Celestia." I said. "Raiden there is no need for formalities, I am not your princess, so please call me Celestia." She said. "Alright then....Celestia, where is your sister?" I asked. "Luna? Oh yes like I explained yesterday Luna raises the moon every night, that also means that she is awake during the night and-." "Let me guess, that means she sleeps during the day." I said. "Yes you are correct, that is why I brought somepony else with me, I believe you two have already met." She said. I looked to the door and I saw that purple pony standing in the doorway. "Twilight Sparkle if I'm correct." I thought to myself. I saw Twilight looking at me with a mix of confusion, anger and.....Sadness? Yep she was definitely feeling down about something. "Yes we have already met, hello Twilight how are you feeling?" I asked. To tell you the truth, I already knew that Twilight was still a little shaken just by looking at her, she had bags under her eyes she must not have been sleeping well, probably because she had a near death experience. "I-I'm fine thank you." She replied. "Okay if you say so." I replied. "*Ahem* I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation but I believe we came here for different reasons, right my faithful student?" Celestia asked. After Celestia had said that, Twilight's ears perked up and that sad expression was replaced with a happy one.....A little to happy if you ask me. "Ah yes I almost forgot, Raiden me and princess Celestia came here to ask you some questions." Twilight said. "Let me guess you want to know what my world is like right?" I asked. "Well yes of course we want to know, I want to learn all about you and your world." Twilight replied with much enthusiasm. "Well to be honest with you Twilight I already explained some things to Celestia and her sister. Did she not tell you about those things I explained to her?" I asked. "Well no, you see after the whole Diamond Dog raid I was in the hospital as well, I had a light concussion and some bruises, but my friend Rainbow Dash had it the worst." She replied. "Really why?" I asked. "Well her wing was dislocated and they had to put it back in place, but that also means that she won't be able to fly for a week or two." Twilight replied. "And is that a bad thing?" I asked. "Well yes, Rainbow Dash is a Pegasi and she loves and with loves I mean LOVES flying, so when she heard that she wouldn't be able to fly for two weeks she started freaking out." Twilight replied. "Ok, well that sucks I guess." I replied. "Yes it does, buy luckily me and my friends will be able to help through this hard time." Twilight replied. "Jesus, what is it with these ponies and there friendly nature." I thought to myself. "Well my faithful student go ahead and ask away." Princess Celestia said. Before I could reply that I didn't want any more questions until I got something to eat, Twilight already teleported a paper and quill out of nowhere and started bombarding me with questions. "Where are you from? What is your species called? What are those appendages called? Where-." "Twilight!" I said. Twilight stopped talking and looked at me with a confused expression. "Yes what is it?" She asked. "One question at a time please and if you two don't mind, I would like to get out of this hospital bed and if it isn't to much to ask could I get something to eat?" I asked." Well of course Raiden what would you like to eat?" Princess Celestia asked. I have to say, for some reason Celestia really warmed up to me, is it because she is sorry for what she did to me or is it something else? I simply shrugged it off. "What does your species eat?" Celestia asked. "Well my species is omnivores so I can simply eat anything, except for hay and grass." I replied. After I told them I was omnivores Twilight stared at me with a disgust expression. "Y-You eat meat?" Twilight asked. "Yes I eat meat, is that a problem?" I asked. "No it is no problem at all, our neighboring countries such as Griffonia and their inhabitants eat meat as well." Celestia replied. "Wait Griffonia, are you telling me there are Griffons on this world as well?" I asked dumbfounded. "Yes here in Equestria there are many different species such as: Minotaurs, Griffons, Ponies of course and many more." Celestia replied. "Ok well that's a lot to take in, considering that Minotaurs and Griffons are legends in my world." I replied. "Wait are you telling me that your world knows about Minotaurs and Griffons. But they are only legends?" Asked a very confused Twilight. "Yes you are correct." I replied. After a few minutes of talking about my world and the different species inhabiting it, my food arrived, there was no meat, just a simple salad, I guess the meat will have to wait. I also told them that there were ponies on my world as well, at first they where dumbstruck about it but after I explained that the ponies on my world couldnt talk and that we Humans where the only sentinel creatures on our planet they seemed to understand. I didnt tell them about how we Humans used to ride horses and ponies ( if they even knew what a horse was). "Wow, but one more question before we let you eat." Twilight asked "And that question is?" I asked "How did you lose your eye?" Twilight asked. Damnit again that question, princess Luna asked me the same question yesterday!" I thought. "Well that's a complicated story." I replied. Well it wasn't really a complicated story, I lost in a swordfight against Jetstream Sam and that cost me my left eye and arm, but I wasn't going to tell them that it's personal. "I'm sure Raiden will explain his story to you my faithful student but for now let him eat, Raiden I heard that you no longer need any medical attention and that you are back on full health so I would be happy if we could finish this conversation elsewhere." Celestia said. "And where would elsewhere be?" I asked. "Canterlot." She replied. "Canterlot, what is it with these stupid horse-puns." I thought. "Ehm sure whatever you say princess." I replied. "Twilight I want you to go to Ponyville and gather the Elements of Harmony." Celestia asked. "I will princess." Twilight replied. After that Twilight left and I was now alone with the princess. "Raiden I need to have a word with you." Celestia said with a stern expression. "Ok shoot." I said. "My sister came running into my chambers yesterday, crying and telling me she had seen something horrible and that somepony hurt her." Celestia replied. "And what does this have to do with me?" I asked. "I didn't tell you this before Raiden but you see, my sister is the Princess of the Night, that be said she also has the ability to enter someponies dreams." Celestia said. "What are you getting at?" I asked. "I am saying that last night my sister entered your dream or nightmare as my sister told me and she said that she saw horrible things and that you hurt her." Celestia replied. Before I could reply Celestia's horn started to glow and I knew what was going to happen next. She lifted me up with her magic and stared at me with a stern expression., "If you EVER try to hurt my sister or any of my subjects I will personally see to it that you shall be punished am I understood?" Celestia asked. "What are you talking about? I didn't hurt your sister how can I hurt someone in a dream that's physically impossible!" I replied. "My sisters ability is none of your concern, but what I want to know is how you where able to even touch my sister? What kind of magic did you use?" Celestia asked with a stern voice. "Listen I don't have any magic, I didn't hurt your sister and I would never hurt any of your subjects unless I'm provoked." I replied. "And am I supposed to believe that?" Celestia asked. "Believe it or not, but don't you think that if I tried to hurt any of your subjects I would have done so already?" I asked. She looked at me for a few seconds before releasing her grip on me. "Alright Raiden I believe you, but try anything and I will not be as forgiving, do I make myself clear?" She said. "Crystal." I replied. "Alright Raiden eat your meal and meet me at the exit of the hospital." Celestia said. "Alright princess, I'll see you in half a hour." I replied. After that princess Celestia went out of my room I could finally eat something, the salad was good was just like any normal salad on Earth, while I was eating I thought of what Celestia told me, did I really hurt her sister? No if I had done so I would have remembered, unless......No that can't be that's ridiculous, but he did try to hurt Celestia as well, but how is he able to hurt someone in a dream? "No!" I have The Ripper under control.......Right? After a few more minutes of thinking I had finished my meal and I was ready to leave, my armor had not been removed, probably because they didn't know how. I couldn't find my sword. 'They probably took it.' I thought to myself. I got outside of the bed and I opened the door, I walked to the exit and while I was walking I was being watched by everyone, their looks where a few mix of horror and confusion, I just shrugged it off and kept on walking. "What is that thing?" I heard someone ask. "It looks like a Minotaur but it doesn't have any horns." Another one replied. As I was walking I heard more and more ponies talking about me being a monster or a hairless Minotaur. After a minute or two I arrived at the exit and I saw Princess Celestia, Twilight and five other ponies, one of them was Fluttershy, there where two others that I recognized, one of them was a cyan pegasi, she had a bandage wrapped around one of her wings, the other was that other pony I saved during the raid. I wanted to walk up to Celestia, but I was stopped by a pink blur, I was pinned down on the ground, when I opened my eyes I saw a pony a pink pony standing on my chest. "Hellomynameispinkiepiewhatareyouandwhereareyoufromareyouanewponybecauseifyouareiwillgiveyouawelcometoponyvillepartand-" "Pinkie! I don't think that Raiden appreciates it that you are sitting on his lap." Twilight said. The pony (Pinkie if I heard it correct) stopped talking and looked at me with a huge smile and jumped off me and in a split second she was back with the other seven. "W-What just happened? What was that?" I asked confused. "That was just Pinkie being Pinkie Pie." Twilight replied. "Ok, but how did she?" I asked but was cut off by Twilight saying that I should just "ignore it", I simply nodded in response and got back up on my feet. "What in tarnation is that thang Twilight?" The orange pony asked. She had a Southern accent and she wore a cowboy hat. "Well girls let me be the first one to introduce you to Raiden, he's a extraterrestrial, a Human from another planet Called Earth to be correct." Twilight said. "So he's a alien?" The cyan pony asked. "Well yes he is." Twilight replied. I could hear her mumble something about awesome and pranks, but I simply ignored it. "Well girls why don't you introduce yourself." Twilight said. Suddenly that pink pony was back and she was floating in front of my face. "The hell? How is she able to do that? She doesn't even have wings." I thought. "Hellomynameispinkiepiewhatsyours?" She asked. "Uhm could you repeat that but this time slow." I asked. "Ok silly, I said my name is Pinkie Pie, what's yours?" She asked. "My name is Raiden." I replied. Wait didn't Twilight already told them my name like four seconds ago? "Ok hello Raiden, I'm going to throw you the biggest welcome to Ponyville party ever!" She replied bouncing up and down. "Ok sure, uhm but you don't have to you know." I replied. "Of course I do you silly filly, everypony deserves a party." She replied with much joy. After that she walked bounced back to the group. Suddenly a white unicorn with a purple mane and a cutie mark of three diamonds on her flank walked up to me and started walking circles around me. "Uhm excuse me but what are you doing?" I asked. She stopped walking and looked up at me. "Well darling I must say your sense of fashion is......Different, I mean why black? Why not something more colorful like blue or orange." She asked. "Well I don't know, I didn't design this armor." I replied. "Well darling you must let me design new clothes for you." She replied. "Ehm no thanks I'm good with these." I replied. "Well if you say so, but I'm not giving up I will design new clothes for you no matter how long it takes me to convince you." She replied. "Ok?" I said. "Oh I almost forgot, my name is Rarity and I run the Carousel Boutique in Ponyville, feel free to visit me if you ever change your mind about that armor of yours." Rarity said. "Damn this one is really into fashion." I thought. Rarity just looked at me for a few seconds and then walked back to the group. The next one to walk up to me was the cyan pony or pegasi or you know what I'm just gonna call her a blue pony, there I said it. She looked at me and well......She just kept looking at me, after a few seconds of constant staring I decided to break the silence. "How's that wing of yours?" I asked. That appeared to snap her out of her trance, she blinked a few times before she spoke up. "Huh? Oh yeah my wing's good but I won't be able to fly for two weeks, but never mind that, my name is Rainbow Dash fastest flyer in all of Equestria!" She said with much confidence. "Well it's nice to meet your Rainbow Dash." I replied. "It's nice to meet you too, oh and thanks for saving our flanks back in Ponyville." She replied. I simply nodded and with a simple "don't mention it". "But how did you do it? I mean there were like twenty Diamond Dogs." She asked. "Well when you’re trained to kill you tend to earn a few skills." I thought. "I got lucky." I replied. "Really? No I don't believe you now answer my question honest, how did you do it?" She asked. I sighed and decided that it would be for the best to be honest with these girls. "I cut them to pieces by using my high frequency blade and the skills I earned by intense training and before you ask, a high frequency blade is basically a sword that can cut through literally anything." I replied. "Wow can I see it?" She asked. "See what my sword?" I asked. "Yeah I wanna see if that sword can cut to literally anything." She said. "Well Rainbow Dash, I would love to but you see I said while pointing to my back I don’t have my sword at the moment" I replied.. "That is correct Raiden, I ordered my guards to retrieve your weapons and put them away in a safe location." Celestia said. "You did what!?" I shouted startling all the ponies. "I had my guards retrieve your weapons and bring them to a safe location, I did not know if you were going to attack me again so I had to be sure you where unarmed when me and my sister decided to talk to you." Celestia replied. "Nobody and I mean NOBODY touches my sword got it?" I said with a stern expression. "Raiden you will get your weapons back eventually but for now please calm down and let the others properly introduce their selves." Celestia replied. "Fine then, but I expect to get my weapons back when I’m going to return to my world." I said. "Yes about you returning t your world, that is something we need to talk about as well." Celestia said. "And why is that?" I asked. "I will tell you all of that once we arrive in Canterlot." Celestia replied. "Alright fine then." I replied. After the whole scene the orange pony with the cowboy hat came towards me. "Howdy partner names Applejack, I’ve never seen anythin like you before, but just as Dashie I’m grateful for what ya did for us partner you saved our flanks so we owe ya." Apllejack said. "Thanks but you don’t owe me anything I was just doing what I thought was right." I replied. "Well luckily for us you chose right." Applejack replied. I simply nodded and gave her a smile. After that the pony (I think her name was Fluttershy walked up to me). "H-Hello m-my n-name is Fluttershy." She said. "Yes I believe we already met right?" I asked. She responded with a simple nod. I went down on my knees and held out my hand as a apology for the little forest incident but it seemed to only scare her because the only thing I got in respond was a *eek*. Fluttershy went back to the rest of the group and stood there hiding behind her mane. "Well now that everypony has been properly introduced I believe it is time for us to depart for Canterlot." Celestia said. The others responded with a "Yes Princess Celestia!",( for some reason they said it In union) and they all went outside. Raiden follow me please. Celestia said. I nodded and followed the princess outside, only to be met with a large crowd standing in front of the hospital. "The hell?" I thought. "Ooh look there it is." I heard someone say. "What is it? Is it dangerous.?" Another asked. "Hey out of the way I can’t see it." Another said. I looked around and it looked like the whole town was gathered around the hospital. I was blinded by camera flashes and the only thing I thought was. "How the hell did they know I was here? I mean if a extraterrestrial was found on Earth they would have probably locked it away in a secret government base or something." I thought. Then out of nowhere Three chariots, yeah you heard me right chariots landed in the in front of the crowd, a few guards stepped out and one of them started speaking to the crowd. "Everypony please return to what you were doing, this is official Canterlot business!" The guard said. The ponies stood there for a few more seconds before doing as they were told and returned to what they were doing. "Your majesty we have arrived with the chariots as we were ordered, we will depart whenever you want." The gueard said. "Thank you, we will depart for Canterlot immediately." The princess said. "Right away your majesty." The guard replied. "Raiden you and I will be sharing a chariot, I have some things do discuss with you." Celestia said. "Alright then princess lead the way." I replied. And with that said I stepped into the chariot and we lifted off and our destination was….Canterlot. Meanwhile in an unknown location. "Your majesty." "Yes my Changeling what is it?" "We found something just outside of the hive." "Yes and why is that of any concern to me?" "Because the thing we found told us he wanted to speak with you." "And what did this thing looked like, did it have a name?" "It looked like a hairless ape and he said his name was Armstrong." .................................................. CanterlotRaiden POV: Remember when I said that Celestia warmed up to me? Well now I'm doubting that, at first I thought she was a nice and caring princess but I was wrong, when she lifted me up with that magic I could feel my body getting crushed, luckily for me my body is not like that of a normal human, nope I'm almost one hundred percent cyborg, the only body parts that are still my own and not artificial are: my spine, skull and upper jaw, the rest are all artificial body parts. Well the flight to Canterlot was......Different to say at least, instead of being in a plane or in a fighter jet, I found myself in a chariot, the chariot was a decent size, but I nearly fitted in this damn thing, two pegasi pulled the chariot. I was impressed to say the least, I mean sure the other two chariots were being pulled by two pegasi as well but in those there were just the six other ponies, but in mine there was Celestia who was taller than any of these ponies and myself, I wondered how those two were able to even lift this thing off the ground. But enough of that, while I was in the chariot Celestia told me a few things about the other six ponies, they were apparently known as the Elements of Harmony, Pinkie Pie being the element of Laughter, Fluttershy being the element of Kindness, Applejack being the element of Honesty, Rainbow Dash being the element of Loyalty, Rarity being the element of Generosity and finally Twilight the element of Magic. She also told me that they defeated Nightmare Moon who was apparently Luna's dark-side, they alto defeated someone named Discord and they defeated a certain Queen of the changelings, whatever a changeling is supposed to be. I also explained to her that I was not a normal human being but a cyborg, at first she had no idea what a cyborg was but after I explained that cyborg was like a human but more powerful and where mostly used for war she asked me, "Why would you choose to live like a cyborg if you are only used for war, how can you live such a life?", I simply replied with "I didn't choose this life". She looked at me with a confused expression before she said something that I would never had expected (considering our latest conversation). "So you where forced? Why?" Celestia asked. "Listen princess there are some parts of my past that I would like to forget, so please I would appreciate if we could drop this subject." I replied while looked at the sky, I have to say this land is pretty beautiful it's, peaceful much different than Earth, speaking of Earth, what happened when I fell through that portal? I can only hope that Armstrong didn't become president or else the world we know will be going to shit. "Raiden are you thinking off your home?" Celestia asked. Well yes you see a lot off bad shit happened back on Earth and I sure hope that me being here in Equestria the world won't go to shit. I said. She looked at me with a concerned expression. "What exactly happened on your world and to be precise what happened to you?" Celestia asked. I decided that I would explain a little bit about myself, so the only thing I told her that I became a cyborg because of the *Patriots machinations*, of course Celestia didn't know what the Patriots were, after explaining the whole complicated story of the Patriots and explaining her about The Ai's GW,JD etc and what Ai's where and what they did during my war against the Patriots, she was shocked to say the least. "So much war and death, how can you live in a world like that, how can you live knowing you took someponies life, why would you make those Ai's if they where only used to hurt others?" Celestia asked. "Listen I told you everything I wanted to tell so please stop asking questions about my past, all I can say to you that I was fighting a senator who wanted to elected as president so he could start war as a business and end it like a business." I replied. "Are all Humans the same, do they only care to hurt each other and bring each other pain and misery?" Celestia asked. "While there are bad there are also good, it's true that Humans fight and kill each other, but the good people on my world only fight and kill to protect their home, country and the ones they love." I replied. "Ok if you say so, but what are you?" Celestia asked. "What do you mean?" I asked. "I mean are you good or are you bad?" Celestia asked. "I fight protect the weak and if I have to kill to do so.....So be it." I replied. "That is good to hear Raiden, I was wrong about you, you are good pon- erm Human I am truly sorry for what I did to you before, but you must understand I only did it because I wanted to protect my subjects, you see Raiden I am immortal and I am over five thousand years old, I have seen many of my subjects grow up and eventually......Die." She said while tears started to form in her eyes. I could see this was making her sad, I didn't know what to do, so after a few more seconds I just did what I thought was right, I put my arm around her and patted her on her back. "Hey you don't have to talk about this we can just drop this subject and talk about something else." I said in a comforting matter. She looked at my arm and than at me, I thought she was going to blast me with magic, but instead she gave me a warm smile. "Thank you Raiden sometimes I can get a little emotional from time to time." She replied while wiping away her tears. "Don't mention it and don't worry being immortal does mean that you will live forever and see things that others cannot and unfortunately you will see others die while you will live on. But it also means that you get to see all of your subjects grow up and see them live their life and hey if your immortal that means that your sister is immortal as well right? So that means you are never alone." I said. I think that did the trick, Celestia seemed to cheer up and gave me a warm smile and a warm "Thank you Raiden that was really sweet of you". I simply waved at her and said " Don't mention it Celestia, everyone needs to let their emotions out from time to time". She smiled and nodded in response. "Canterlot ho!" One of the guards shouted. I looked away from Celestia and what I saw could not be described with words, the only ting I could say was "Beautiful". Celestia giggled at my reaction. "I assume you like the view?" She asked. "Well I have to say princess I never thought it would be this big." I replied. "Don't they have castles on your world?" Celestia asked. "Well yes we do but none of them are like that." I said while pointing at the castle. "Wow it seems that our worlds have at least two things in common." Celestia said. Two? I asked. Yes castles and..........War. "You mean you are in a war as well?" I asked. "Well yes we have had some wars, but that was a long time ago." Celestia replied. "Ok, wow I never expected that, I mean this world looks so peaceful at least from what I've seen." I replied. "Yes but unfortunately there are some ponies who think different, but how about your world, how many wars has your world have?" Celestia asked. "Too many." I replied "Oh my.......And in how many wars have you fought in." Celestia asked. "Too many." I replied. There was a silence until Celestia spoke up. "Well Raiden let's forget about the whole war talk and talk about something else shall we?" Celestia said. "Sure go ahead." I replied. "Well than Raiden do you have a family on Earth?" Celestia asked. "Damnit, why god why! I don't want to talk about this subject I don't want to talk about Rose and Little..........John." I thought while looking at the sky. "Raiden hello are you alright?" Celestia asked. "Wha-What? Oh yeah I'm fine, what was the question again?" I asked. "Do you have a family on Earth?" Celestia asked for the second time. "Should I tell her?" I thought. "Celestia......Promise me you keep this to yourself ok?" I said. "Yes off course Raiden." She replied. "I had a family, a beautiful wife and a wonderful son." I replied. " Well that's wonderful but had? What do you mean by that?" She asked. "War has its costs......It caused me my son.......And eventually........My wife." I replied with a saddened tone. "I-I-I-I'm so sorry to hear that.........You must have had it hard." She replied with a saddened tone. "Lady you don't even know the half of it, if you only knew what happened in my past......But I'm not telling you that......Not until I can trust you with that kind of information." I thought. "Raiden.....Know that if you ever need to talk to somepony, you can talk to me." Celestia said with a smile. "Thanks but I already talked with someone about it." I replied. "Really, if I may ask who?" Celestia asked. "The one and only Solid Snake!" I replied. "Who?" She asked. "Ehm sorry, a really good friend he's a hero on my planet, but he doesn't see himself as one, he always says that he was just a old killer hired to clean up the wet work." I replied. "Oh but if he is a hero as you say he is, than he must have quite the life." She replied. "No he hasn't, he had a hard life......Harder than mine, the only thing he knew was war, he lived his entire life fighting he could never get away from it." I said. I looked at Celestia and I could see that my story was making her sad again. "You said that he had a hard life, with had do you mean he's....." I quickly cut her off. "No, he's not dead he's just.......Retired." I said. "Snake.....What you told me........About the graveyard, that Big Boss came to you and he made......Peace with you....... He died by your side.......Your father.......You had a hard life Snake, but remember that people will respect you for what you did, when Foxdie didn't kill you and your accelerated aging still continuing you still inspired me and others to live their Life.............Snake.........Thank you."I thought. "Raiden are you alright?" Celestia asked. "Yeah......I'm fine." I replied. "No you are not fine, I can see it in your eyes, whoever Snake was he was a great influence on your life, you said he was retired so why don't you visit him when you get back to your wo-." Celestia said but didn't finish her sentence. "Yes, go on." I said. "Raiden remember what I told you in the hospital, about returning to your world." Celestia said. "Yes, why?" I asked. "Well I'm not sure if you are going to be able to return to your world." Celestia replied. "What!?" I shouted. "Raiden like I said before it is a mystery to me as well as to how you arrived here." Celestia said. "So what! I'm not just going to accept the fact that I'm not going to be able to return to Earth, we can at least try to solve this mystery." I replied. "*Sigh* Raiden I will do everything in my power to help you return to your world, but I cannot promise you that we will be able to get you back to your world, do you understand?" Celestia asked "Yes I do, at least than I know we at least tried." I replied. "Good but for now just try and relax, once our conversation is over you will get some time for yourself to do whatever you want, does that sound good for you?" Celestia asked. "Yeah I guess, but I'll need to get some time alone as well and I wish not to be disturbed." I replied. "Understood now please sit down, I believe we are going to land." Celestia said. "Whatever you say princess." I replied. As soon as I sat down we started to slow down and started to land, the landing went smooth, after that everyone stepped outside of their chariot and started walking towards us. "Hello Twilight Sparkle was your flight comfortable?" Celestia asked. "Yes princess it was, how was your flight Raiden?" Twilight asked. "It was good but slow." I replied. "Slow what do you mean by that?" Twilight asked. "Well the flights I'm used to are usually very fast." I replied. "What do you mean, you don't have any wings, how can you fly without them." Asked a very confused Twilight,. "Well we Humans can't naturally fly, so we made machines who did all the flying for us, we call them Airplanes." I replied. "Wow so you build machines that can fly, wow I wonder what you Humans made more oh I just can't wait untill we arrive in the castle and I get to ask you questions about your race!" Twilight said with much enthusiasm. "Yeah right, well id be happy to tell you all about it.......Twi." I said that last part with a smirk. Twilight blushed or so it looked like it when I called her by the little nickname I gave her. "Y-Yeah, hehe sorry about that, sometimes I can get a little carried away." Twilight said. "That's alright Twilight, I mean it's not everyday you get to meet a alien." I replied. "Well Twilight you can get carried away over a lot off things." Rainbow Dash said. "Ah come on give tha girl a rest will ya, don't tell me that you're not a little exited about hearin Raiden’s story. "Applejack intertwined. "Oh come on girls let's get inside so we can get this all over with, because I still have to throw Raiden his welcome to Equestria party!" Pinkie said. "Pinkie weren't you going to give him a welcome to Ponyville party?" Rarity asked. "Oh yeah I almost forgot about that, you know what I'll just throw him two parties yay!" Pinkie said with much enthusiasm. "She's just kidding.......Right?" I whispered to Rainbow Dash who stood beside me, I almost forgot to bend down to ask her, I was taller than any of these ponies, the normal ponies like Twilight and Rainbow Dash came up to my abdomen while princess Celestia was almost as tall as me not counting her horn off course. "Trust me Raiden when Pinkie says she gonna throw you a party, she's gonna throw you a party whether you like it or not. "Rainbow Dash replied. "Well everypony let us not wait any longer, please gather around me."Celestia said. Everyone did as they where told and gathered around me and the princess. "Alright everpony get ready." Celestia said. "Ready for what?" I asked. "You'll see." Celestia said. After she said that, her horn started to glow and all of a sudden everything went black for a few seconds, suddenly we were not in front of Canterlot, no we were in some kind of big throne room, the room was very bright and at the end of the room where two thrones, one was big and it had a symbol of the sun, the other was smaller and had a crescent moon on it. "What just happened? And why do I feel like my stomach has been turned inside out." I asked. "Well if you’re not used to teleportation than the after effects can kick in, one of them feeling like you're going to throw up. "Twilight said. You aren't going to throw up are you?" Asked Rarity. "No no I've been through worse, but princess-" "Celestia." Celestia said while she cut me off. "Right Celestia if I may ask why didn't you use teleportation in the first place, that would have saved us a lot of time." I said. "Yes I could have done that, but then you wouldn't see the beauty off Equestria." Celestia replied. Right, well I guess we better start the questioning right." I asked. "Yes but before that I need you to do something for me Raiden." Said Celestia. "What?" I asked. "I need you to go and talk to Luna she is really scared of you you know, ever since she entered your dreams she is really shaken up, just go and talk to her please."Celestia said, but this time she talked to me but I was the only one who seemed to hear her, "What the hell?" I thought. What was I supposed to do just think my answer? Ah to hell with it, "Alright Celestia I'll talk to her but I think that it's not the best idea if she's really that scared of me than shouldn't I wait until she wants to talk to me?" I asked. "Please Raiden I know it sounds crazy but please Luna wouldn't even talk to me but I think that if you just say you’re sorry and tell her that you won't hurt her than maybe I'll get her to talk about what happened, so please just talk to her." Celestia said, or thought in this case. "Alright than I'll do it, but don't expect any good results, but how am I supposed to get to her I mean I can’t just go and say I'm gonna talk to your princess because I somehow scared the shit out of her. You know what? I'll just tell everyone that I need to go to the toilet or something." I replied. ?Mockingly. "I think that will do it just try and make the talk as quickly as possible, thank you Raiden this means a lot." She replied. "Damn this is some weird shit, I mean the mind-talks and that just fucking weird." I thought. "You know I can still hear you right?" Celestia said. I simply looked at her and she gave me a playful look. "Ehm excuse me for asking but could I use your toilet please?" I asked. "Sure Raiden, one of my guards will escort you." Celestia replied. "Don't worry Raiden, this guard knows of my intentions I already told him to take you to Luna's room." Celestia replied by using her telekinesis magic......Yeah I'm calling it telekinesis magic so what? "Alright I'll try my best, but I can't make any promises alright." I replied Celestia simply nodded in response and called her guard. After that, the guard and me walked towards the exit of the throne room and then walked to Luna's room. "How the hell am I supposed to talk to Luna about what happened if I don't even know what happened." I thought. After a few more minutes of walking and no talking we arrived at Luna's room. The guard turned and looked at me. "We have arrived at her majesty's chambers, I will be waiting outside if you need something, but try anything funny creature and I shall not hesitate to take action." The guard said. "Yeah yeah, I get it let's just get this over with." I replied. The guard nodded and stood at his place. I opened the door and went inside. I closed the door afterwards and I took a look around the room, the room was dark and there wash a giant bed in the middle, from what I could see the walls where painted dark blue, I was quite amazed as to how big this room was. "Well now I only need to find Luna." I thought I suddenly heard some light snoring and mumbling, I looked towards the noise was coming and I saw Luna sleeping in her bed. "Well shit, now how am I going to get to talk to her when she's fast asleep?" I thought. I thought of what would happen if just woke her up, but my thinking was unnecessary, I suddenly heard Luna scream and she awoke, sweat covering her forehead. "Ahh it was just a dream." She said. "Ehm hey Luna......Surprise?" I said. Meanwhile attention a unknown location............. "Well at first I didn't quite believe you senator, but after hearing your story I think we might be able to help each other." Chrysalis said. "I hope for your sake that you can help me return to my world and in return I'll help you with your fucking pony problem." Armstrong said. "Excellent well than let us begin to think of a strategy." Chrysalis replied. "Whatever you say you almighty queen." Armstrong replied mockingly. The Senator has arrivedArmstrong POV: "The fuck just happened; first I'm fighting Jack and the next thing I know he's gone". I thought. I decided that I would keep my guard up just in case Jack tries something funny, I'll fucking break him in two and once he's out of the way I'll still be able to execute my plan. I lit up a cigar just for the nice feeling of nicotine and all the other shitty things that'll supposedly kill you. "God bless America for these death sticks". I thought. "I wonder how long it'll take me to finally get elected, with Jack gone nothing will stand in my way". I thought. Suddenly the Metal Gear Excelsus started shaking and a big explosion followed, I was sent flying and suddenly that same thing that appeared underneath Jack appeared underneath me as well. "The fuck is this shit? I'm not gonna get sucked in that thing I'm"- But it was too late I got sucked into that fucking thing and everything went black, the only thing I could think was fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Ten minutes later near the changeling hive....... I awoke with a slight headache. "Damn what the fuck happened?” I thought. I got up and took a look at my surroundings, everything was colorful, I appeared to be near a forest. "Fucking great if there's one woman I don't like it's that bitch Mother Nature". I thought. I was interrupted from my thoughts by two unfamiliar voices. "Why does the Queen make us guard the hive, I mean it's not like someling has ever noticed the hive in the first place and if they did, they would think twice before trying to attack let alone even get near the hive". One said. "I guess you're right but ever since the failed attack on Canterlot the queen has been acting differently and there is the fact that we're running low on love as well, I kinda feel bad for the queen, knowing that your subjects are starving and there's nothing you can do about it". The other replied. "I guess butt still why let us guard the hive?” The other asked. "You just don't like morning-shifts". The other replied. "What the fuck are they talking about it? Queen? Hive? What are they some kind of insect-lovers? Let’s get a better view of what I'm dealing with". I thought. ''CRACK''. "Fuck you've gotta be kidding me, seriously why did there have to be a branch in front of me". I thought. "Did you hear that?” One asked. "You heard nothing you little shit". I thought. I quickly ran into the forest and hid behind a nearby tree, I know what you’re thinking why would I senator Steven Armstrong hide? Well let’s just say that for some reason I was feeling very weak, like all my power was drained from my body, it appeared that the Nanomachines in my body stopped reacting, you know when my skin was hardened and I could easily block all of Jack’s attacks, I was now just like a normal human being, because there was no form of power I would not be able to power up my nanomachines to the point where I could easily block anything, but still I could still pack a punch without em. I sat there considering what my best options would be. "Maybe I should just say hello, come on they speak English so I guess I’m in a part of The States or something or maybe their part of another military group". I thought. "Come on let’s check it out". The other said. "Are you sure that’s a good idea? It was probably our imagination". The other replied. "That’s right I’m just a figment of your imagination". I thought. Don’t get me wrong, I could easily just take these two guys out with my bare fucking hands but I need to find out where I was, should I go and ask for help and make peace with them? Nah that’s not gonna happen I’m not a goddamn hippie. I was interrupted from my thoughts as I heard the voices coming closer. "I’m not sure if that’s a good idea". One said. "Come on; are you scared of the big bad monster?”The other replied mockingly. "Buck you". The other replied. Shit these guys are closing in, well looks like I have to act as the nice senator again…..Which I fucking hate to do. I decided to just go to those two guys and ask if they could help me, surely they know who I am…..Right? I walked out of my little hiding spot and two the two guys who were talking, when I got closer I saw something that I couldn’t comprehend, there were two…..Things standing in front of me, they were black, they appeared to walk on four legs and they had wings and horns!? "What the fuck kind of drugs am I on?” I thought. "W-W-W-What i-i-is that thing?” The one on the right asked. I "don’t know Bolt, what the buck do we do?” The on the left asked "What the fuck are you?” I asked. "It t-talks". The one on the left said. "I-I-I-I---". The one on the right stuttered. "Ughh what the fuck am I supposed to do now? Talk those these things? “I thought. "Quit shivering and answer the goddamn questions I’m about to ask". I said in a sharp tone. They both stopped shivering and looked at me, I swear if these two had pants they would have crapped themselves twice. "Let’s start with an easy one, what are your names?” I asked. "M-My n-name is Bolt". The one on the right replied. "A-And m-my n-name is W-Wingbreaker". The one on the left replied. "The fuck kind of names is that?” I thought. "Alright than, my name is Steven Armstrong but you can address me as Senator Armstrong or sir, you got that?” I asked. They both nodded furiously, probably because they were scared shitless. "Alright now tell me what the fuck are you?” I asked. "Were c-changelings, if I may ask what are you?” Wingbreaker asked. "Changelings? What the fuck, I would just call em Mother Nature’s trash but whatever. " I thought. "I’m a human, homo-sapien to be precise". I replied. You might be thinking, why am I not super confused by this, well it’s because I simply don’t give a shit, I just wanna go back to where I came from and get elected for president and finally achieve my goal. "Next question where the fuck am I?” I asked. "You’re in Equestria where did y-you think you are?” Bolt replied "In what part of Earth is Equestria?” I asked. "Earth? No you’re not on this Earth I mean you are standing on Earth but no you’re on the planet Equus". Bolt replied. "What the fuck are you talking about are you saying that I’m on a different planet!?” I asked getting angry. "Y-Yes, well I don’t know, I mean I’ve never seen anything like you before so I simply don’t know but I think I know someling who does". Wingbreaker replied. "Who?” I asked "Our queen Chrysalis, she might know how you got here". Wingbreaker replied. "Take me to her than"! I said. "W-What we can’t possibly take you to our queen, who knows what you might do to her". Bolt said. "You better take me to her before I go and find her for myself". I growled. "Psst Bolt". Wingbreaker whispered. "What?” Bolt replied. "What if I go and get the queen and you stay here and keep the human busy". Wingbreaker said. "Wait what!? Why do i have to keep him busy? “Bolt replied "Because I can fly faster than you". Wingbreaker replied. "You know I can still hear you right?” I asked. They both flinched and looked at me. "Ehm if you don’t mind sir I will go and get our queen, she would be happy to speak with you". Wingbreaker said "Yeah whatever just make sure I don’t have to wait long". I replied. "Alright I’ll be back in a minute". Wingbreaker replied. With that said Wingbreaker took off and flew away, leaving me with Bolt. "The fuck are you looking at?” I asked. "N-Nothing". Bolt replied. I waited for the queen to arrive, while I was waiting Bolt bombarded me with questions like" What are you or Are all Humans as big as you? “I hated it, what I wouldn’t do to pick this little shit up, break his horn of and shove it up his ass…..But I needed to get out of here, wherever here was. "Oh look over there; it’s the queen and Wingbreaker". Bolt said. I looked towards where Bolt pointed and I saw something I wish I never saw. I saw a big fucking changeling, with dark green hair with a mix of blue; she had holes in her legs just like Bolts and she had wings, big fucking wings. After a few seconds the queen and Wingbreaker landed in front of me, I was eying the queen and she was doing the same to me. "What in Faust’s name are you?” She asked. "I could ask you the same thing but I think I already know". I said. "Well my name is queen Chrysalis and what is your name creature?” Chrysalis asked. "The name’s Armstrong, Steven Armstrong". I replied. "Well than mister Armstrong I believe my changelings also told you that I am their queen". Chrysalis said. "Yes they did". I replied. "Well?” She asked. "Well what?” I replied. "Aren’t you going to bow for me?” Chrysalis asked. "Why should I, you’re not my royalty so just fuck the formalities and let’s get down to business". I replied. "How dare you! I shall make you regret those words". Chrysalis shouted. "What are you gonna do missy? Poke my eye out? “I asked. "I'll burn you to a pile of ashes". Chrysalis replied. "Bring it"! I replied. Silence fell and we both eyed each other, Chrysalis was the first to break the silence and she shot a green bolt at me, the bolt hit me but it didn’t hurt, no it felt good really good, it was like all my power was coming back! "Is that the best you got? If so you have got to try harder". I replied mockingly. "I shall rip you apart". Chrysalis shouted. She shot four more bolts of what I assumed was some kind of energy at me, I simply let it hit me and I felt myself growing stronger and stronger. "What is it with you, why are you not down yet!?” Chrysalis asked clearly confused. "Come on girl hit me with your best shot"! I shouted. "My queen do you need help!?” Bolt shouted while a green aura started to cover his horn. "No he is mine stay back; I will use all of my power on him"! Chrysalis replied. "As you wish my queen". Bolt replied nervously. "You will not see the end of this day"! Chrysalis shouted. "We’ll see about that". I replied with a smug grin. Chrysalis looked at me, a fire burning in her eyes, her horn started to glow and I could clearly see that she was powering up. "That’s it hit me with your most powerful shot, so that I can show you what nanomachies can do with a man like me. I thought. It was strange though, how was she able to power-up my nanomachies, normally only man-made machines would be able to do that, but does it even matter. Ha! This bitch doesn’t even know what’s gonna hit her. I thought. "This ends now"! Chrysalis shouted. "Come on"! I replid. After that she unleashed all the energy and hit me straight in the chest, a big explosion followed and I was sent flying backwards until I crashed into a tree, breaking it in half because of the amount of pressure of my impact. "My queen are you alright?” Bolt asked. "I am fine my changeling; see I told you this creature was no match for me and---AAAAAH"! A black hand hit Chrysalis in her stomach and sent her flying backwards. "Queen Chrysalis"! Wingbreaker shouted. "What happened what is………Oh no, how is this possible, what in sweet Faust’s name are you!?” Bolt asked terrified. I looked down at Bolt and started to laugh. "Hahahahahaha , that was your best shot? Ha my grandma hits harder than you and she’s been dead for four years! I replied laughing. "Wha-wha-what happened what is *Gasp* h-h-h-how are you still a-a-a-alive t-this i-is n-not possible". Chrysalis said. "Nanomachines girl"! I replied. "Wha?” Chrysalis asked. I walked towards Chrysalis only to be stopped by Bolt and Wingbreaker. "Don’t you dare hurt our queen"! They said in union. I simply picked them up by their horns and started squeezing them. "AAAAAAH"! They screamed. "You two messed with the wrong man, you’re lucky I’m in a good mood so I’m gonna give you another chance and that count for you to miss"! I said. I let go of their horns and they fell on the ground with a light *thud*. "Now can we talk business or what?” I asked. They all nodded. "Good now, take me to that hive of yours, I hope you have some food because I’m starving". I said. They all nodded again and got up. "Please follow u-us". Bolt said. I nodded and walked alongside them. "How long is this gonna take?” I asked. "Half an hour on hoof". Bolt replied still shaken about the whole thing. Fuck was the only thing that crossed my mind. Canterlot, eight hours later after Armstrong’s arrival………. Location: Luna’s chambers. Raiden POV: "Ehm surprise?” I said. Luna looked at me in horror before she started to scream in that loud voice again. "WHAT ARE THOU DOING IN OUR CHAMBERS?! GUARDS"! Luna screamed. Not a moment later the guard came rushing in. "You called your majesty!?” The guard asked. "YES WOULD THOU MIND TELLING US HOW THE HUMAN WAS ABLE TO SNEAK PAST THOU AND INTO OUR PRIVATE QUARTERS!?” Luna asked. "Princess t-the Human had permission to go into your chambers". The guard replied. "BY WHO!?” Luna asked. "By your sister". The guard replied. "Tia?” Luna asked, her voice becoming a normal volume again. "Y-Yes y-your m-majesty". The guard replied. "THAN I WILL SPEAK TO OUR SISTER ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW"! Luna said, turning on the volume again. "NO WAIT"! I shouted. Luna looked at me confused and blinked a few times before speaking up. "WHAT IS IT HUMAN!?” Luna asked. "First, lower the volume please and second your sister princess Celestia sent me here to talk to you, apparently she says that you are frightened of me, that I did something terrible to you". I said. Luna looked at me and then looked at the guard. "Is this true?” Luna asked. "Y-Yes y-your majesty". The guard replied. "Very well then, if my sister insists, guard please leave us, this is a private matter". Luna said. "Yes your majesty"! The guard replied. The guard did as he was told and left the room leaving a very confused me and a very frightened Luna in the room. "So……Nice room you got here". I said trying to lighten the mood. "Thank thee Raiden tis acceptable". She replied with shaken voice. I looked at Luna and I could see tears forming in her eyes. Suddenly she started sobbing and eventually crying. "Oh this is just great first I made princess Celestia cry and now Luna. This.Is.Just.Great". I thought. I decided to do the same thing I did to Celestia, so I wrapped my arm around her neck heck it worked with her so why wouldn’t it work with Luan, I hoped that she would calm down but instead she jumped away from me and accidently giving me an upper-cut. "Damnit why is it always the chin!?” I thought. "Oh my We are so sorry Raiden". She said while still crying. "It’s a-alright, Luna come here for a sec". I replied. She looked at me before standing walking over and standing front of me. "Listen Luna, I don’t know what happened to you but I’m terribly sorry if I hurt you, I didn’t mean to do that, I hope you can forgive me. Why won’t we start over again? “I asked. Luna looked at me for a few seconds and then started to cry again. "We*sob* w-were *sob* s-so *sob* scared". She said. Damn she was really scared, she couldn’t even carry her own weight because the next thing I know she broke down and fell on the ground with a *thud* before bawling her eyes out. I considered my options and I thought to myself, "What do I do know? Should I hug her again and risk another upper-cut or should I just let her cry and see if she gets any better? " "No, she needs someone and that someone is apparently me, here we go again with hugging royalty again". I thought. I gently picked her up and she laid her head over my shoulder I gave her a friendly hug and made small circles around her back, this was something that calmed Rose down as well when she was……………..No I can’t think of that now. I thought. Luna’s crying eventually changed in light sniffles and sobs. "Hey it’s alright I’m not gonna hurt you I promise". I said while comforting her. "*sob* does thou *sniffle* mean *sob* that?” Luna asked. "Yes I do, now why won’t we get up and talk a little bit?” I asked. I wanted to get up only to be pushed down by Luna. "Could we stay like this for a while, thou art very warm and our room is……Cold". She said while blushing, at least I thought she was blushing. "Ehmm, sure?” I said confused. I could not believe what was happening here I was, a cyborg, a killing machine, comforting a pony princess who I just met. Minutes pasted, well at least I hoped it were minutes because it felt like hours, don’t get me wrong I didn’t dislike hugging princess Luna, I mean she was surprisingly warm and her fur was very soft, well I my face was the only thing that could feel her fur because the rest of my body was covered in armor but still it was very warm and surprisingly comfortable. "Ehm Luna not to be rude but----". I was interrupted by a light snore and heavy breathing; it appeared that Luna the princess of the Night had fallen asleep in my arms. Well if I wouldn’t know any better I would think that I was in Beauty and the Beast………Me being the beast of course. I thought. I carefully picked her up and placed her I her bed, I pulled the covers over her and looked at her. There she was the princess of the Night, the one who was frightened of me (at least that’s what Celestia told me) sleeping peacefully in her bed. "Well I guess we’ll have to talk about what happened in my dream another time". I thought. I walked towards the door and opened it, I looked back in the room I smiled. "Sleep tight princess". I said I went outside and closed the door, I looked at the guard and he looked at me. "Didn’t you here all the commotion inside?” I asked. "What commotion? I didn’t hear a thing. " He replied confused. "Strange". I muttered. "Please follow me sir, princess Celestia requests your presence at once". The guard said. "Alright lead the way". I replied. And with that we walked towards the throne room and I could only think of one thing "Was it just me or was Luna blushing back there?” The pastRaiden POV "Hey listen I think we got off the wrong foot, my name’s Raiden ad I’m not a creature I’m a Human, what’s your name? " I asked. "My name is Brightshine. " He replied. "Brightshine huh, cool name. " I replied. "Can I ask you something sir? " Brightshine asked. "Sure ask away. " I replied. "What did you mean with commotion sir? " Brightshine asked. "Well how do I explain this, ehm let’s just say Princess Luna needed somebody to talk to and apparently that somebody was me. " I replied. "Alright, thank you but one more question sir. " Brightshine said. "Sure. " I replied. "Why do you talk in such strange way? " Brightshine asked. "What do you mean? " I replied. "Well instead of saying anypony you say anybody and instead of saying somepony you said someone. " Brightshine replied. "Well I could ask you the same thing, I mean you use the word pony in some words when we would use the term body or one and even in town names, for example Ponyville. " I replied. "I guess you have a point there sir, so I can assume when you use the term somebody or someone you mean somepony right? " Brightshine asked. "Yep, but can I ask you something as well? " I asked. "What do you need to know sir? " Brightshine asked. "Is it true that Princess Celestia is over five thousand years old? " I asked. "Well yes, princess Celestia is over five thousand years old and Princess Luna is over one thousand years old. "Brightshine replied. "Wow, who would have thought that ponies could grow that old. " I replied. "Well the princesses are not normal ponies, they are Alicorns and they are immortal. " Brightshine replied. "Just how many species of ponies are there? " I asked. "Well Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza are the only Alicorns in Equestria, but in total there are four species of ponies: The Earth ponies, the Pegasi, the Unicorns and the Alicorns. " Brightshine replied. "Oh ok and Princess Celestia also told me that there are: Griffons, Minotaur’s and many other creatures here in Equestria, are all of these creatures sentient just like the ponies? " I asked. "Well yes Griffons and Minotaur’s are sentient species but we do have some species in Equestria that aren’t sentient. " Brightshine replied. "Wow now that’s something. " I replied. "What do you mean sir? " Brightshine asked. "Well on my planet Humans are the only sentient species. " I replied. Brightshine stopped in his tracks and just looked at me with his mouth wide open. "You better close it, you might catch flies if you keep it open. " I joked. He shook his head and we continued our walk to the throne room, damn I have to say this castle is really big and there are a lot of stairs. SO.MANY.STAIRS. "Well I have to say Mr. Raiden I never would have expected that your species arethe only sentient beings on your planet. " Brightshine said. "Please no Mr. Raiden or sir just Raiden will do and no it’s not really that strange I mean we humans have lived for thousands of years and we are still the only sentient being on our planet. " I replied. "Oh ok I understand si—err Raiden. " Brightshine replied. After a few more minutes of walking we finally arrived at the giant doors that led to the throne room. "Here we are Raiden, the princess will be waiting for you inside. " Brightshine said. "Thanks but aren’t you going to come in as well? " I asked. "I’m afraid not, I was only requested to lead you to Princess Luna’s chamber and then escort you to the throne room when you were finished. " Brightshine replied. "So I guess this is where we say goodbye. " I replied. "Yes it is. " Brightshine replied. I then bend down to meet him on eye-level and then held out my hand, it took him some seconds to figure out what I was doing but eventually he got the clue and he put his hoof in my hand, I grabbed his hand and gave him a handshake or hoof shake in this case. I then said my goodbyes and with that he left, I looked at the door and I just stood there. ‘What am I supposed to do, knock?’ I thought. ‘No Raiden I will simply open the door for you.’ A voice that sounded an awful lot like Celestia’s replied. ‘Celestia is that you?’ I said or thought in this case. ‘Yes it is me, have you forgotten my little mind-spell?’ She asked. ‘No you just startled me that’s all.’ I replied. ‘Alright then, please enter.’ She replied. ‘Ehm I would love to but----.’ I was cut off by the two doors opening and revealing the throne room in all its glory. I looked around and I saw Twilight and her friends standing beside Celestia, they all looked at me as if they wanted to know what was taking so long. "Welcome back Raiden, was our toilet suitable? " Celestia asked. I swear she was fucking with me, she had this smile on her face that just reminded me an awful lot of Kevin’s when he pulled a practical joke as he would call it on me. "Ehm yes it was. " I replied. "Well then let us continue where we left off, but before we start questioning you would you like to ask us something? " Celestia asked. I looked over to Twilight and I could see she wanted to bombard me with questions, her left eye appeared to be twitching and she was tipping her left hoof on the ground nervously. "No Celestia ask away. " I replied. Before Celestia could even open her mouth Twilight literally jumped in front of me and started bombarding me with questions. "Inwhatsolarsystemisearthandhowmanyofyourkindexistonyourplanetandhowdidyouloseyourlefteyeand-----. " I put my hand in front of her mouth and I simply said "Twilight please calm down and ask me one question at a time. " She simply gave me a awkward smile and started to calm down. "Sorry about that Raiden but there is just so much I want to ask you. " Twilight replied. I bed over and whispered something in Twilights ear. "Listen Twilight If you have so many questions for me you can ask them after this, I don’t mean you can’t ask questions now but if you have so many just wait until this little interrogation is over alright. " She simply looked at me before giving me a warm smile and a nod of approval. I got back up and looked at Celestia. "Why won’t you go first. " I said. "No thank you I have got to know a little bit about you already, so please my faithful student ask away. " Celestia replied. "Thank you Princess, now first question: How many of your kind are there on your planet? " Twilight asked. "Well last time I checked around seven billion. " I replied. Twilight just stood there mouth agape at what I just said. "Seven b-billion!? " She said. "Yep, now on to the next one. " I said while pointing to Rarity. "Darling I must know who designed your outfit? " Rarity asked. "Well his name is Wilhelm Voigt but I just call him Doktor. " I replied. "Wait you are saying a doctor? a doctor!? Designed you outfit!? " Rarity asked absolutely confused. "Well…..Yes but he’s not the kind of doctor he is an engineer, he specializes in cybernetic enhancements and cyborg enhancements, he’s not really the one who is in to fashion. " I replied. "Well if I ever come across this Doktor I will teach him one or two thing about fashion. " Rarity replied. I just chuckled at an image that crossed my mind; I could already see Rarity constantly telling the Doktor to add more colors to his armor design and the Doktor just keeping his ears shut. I looked at Rarity and I saw she was finished with her little speech. "Alright my turn my turn! " Pinkie said. "Alright Pinkie ask away. " I said. I have to say these ponies where really nice towards me, well except for Rainbow Dash, because she would sometimes give me an angry look whenever I looked at her. "What are those two things on the side of your face? " Pinkie asked. "What these? " I said while pointing to my visors. "Yes! " Pinkie replied. "Well these are called visors and I activate them whenever I get sent in to combat. " I replied. "What do they do? " Pinkie asked. "Well they give me a better view of the area and I can zoom in and out with them. " I replied. "Zoom in and out? " Asked a very confused Pinkie. "Well you see when I activate them. " I said while activating my visors and as they quickly covered my face. All of the ponies gasped as my visors covered my face, I then felt something pulling my visors, I opened my eyes and I could see Pinkie biting my visors. "Pinkie what are you doing? " I asked. "These things are trying to eat your face! " Pinkie replied. "Pinkie these things are my visors, here let me show you. " I replied. I then gently grabbed Pinkie and put her down on the ground, I then de-activated my visors and the ponies gasped once again. "Y-Y-You’re face it’s ok!? But how it that thing it--." "Pinkie. " I cut her off "These things are my visors and they did not eat my face, this is just how they work, they cover my face and then I can do all that zoom in and zoom out stuff and many other things. " I said. "Ooh ooh can I try them on!? " Pinkie asked "Well Pinkie see there’s the problem I can’t take these things of, well not without breaking them off and I would do that I couldn’t do all that zoom in and zoom out stuff anymore. " I replied. "Ahww and I really wanted to try them. " Pinkie said in a with a down voice. "Well Pinkie there are some other thing I can show you. " I said. I then activated the codec and a small hologram appeared . All of the ponies looked at the hologram in awe and Twilight was the first one to try and touch it, of course her hoof went right through it. "Wow this is amazing what is this Raiden? " Twilight asked. "This" I said while pointing at the codec" is called codec, it is used to contact other people, well you can only contact the people Of who you know the frequency of. " Replied. "Frequency? " Asked Twilight. "Yes you can basically see it as numbers if you have the numbers of another person and you know them you can call them, do you understand where I’m going with this? " I asked. "Kind of but still just wow this is some kind of magic I have never seen in my life! " Twilight replied. "Like I said before Twilight we Humans don’t have magic, we have lived without it for over thousands of years. " I replied. "But if you don’t have magic who controls the weather on your planet? "Asked Rainbow Dash. "We don’t, nature controls itself. " I replied. All of the ponies gasped at this information. "S-S-S-So your world i-is l-like t-the Evertree Forest? " Asked Fluttershy. "Well if in the Evertree Forest nature controls itself than yes it is. " I replied. "How can ya live in such a world? " Asked Applejack. "Well while we Humans don’t have any magic we have some other things that we are good in. " I replied. "Like what? " Asked Applejack. "We have the ability of innovation which means we humans have evolved over the thousands of years and we have achieved many thing, one of them being space travel although the furthest we have been to space was our own moon. " I replied. "Y-You’ve been into space!? " Asked twilight. "Yes we have been to space. " I replied. "Wow that’s so super duper cool! " Said Pinkie. "Well thank you Pinkie but let’s move on to the next question. " I said. "Alright ma turn, I’ve been wanting to ask you since the first time I laid eyes on you. " Said Applejack. "And that is? " I asked. "Why are you wearin a eye patch? " Asked Applejack. ‘Alright that’s it!’ I thought. "If I may ask something, what is it with you damn ponies and my missing eye!? " I asked getting annoyed. "Well it's just that it does tend to get noticed ya know. " Applejack replied. "Well let's just say that I did something stupid and it cost me my eye. " I replied. "What kind of stupid thing did you do then? " Asked Rarity. "It's.......Complicated. " I replied. "That's what thou said to Us before come on Raiden it can't be that bad. " Said someone. I looked to where the voice was coming and I was kind of surprised to see who it was, it was Princess Luna fully awake. "Luna I didn't know you were awake. " Said Celestia. "We could not sleep so We decided to come to Raiden’s questioning. " Luna replied. Luna looked at me for a few second before quickly looking away. "Alright so who's next? " I asked. "Hold on a second ya didn't answer ma question. " Applejack intertwined. *sigh* "You really won't stop asking unless I tell you right? " I asked. They all nodded in union. "Well ok I'll tell but it's not something I like to talk about, it just reminds me of mistakes I made in the past. " I replied "Well Raiden maybe I can help you with that, I can cast a spell that allows us to look in to your memories, if you want us to look at your memories that is. " Celestia said. "Well I guess you can do that but I'm telling you my memories aren't the most pleasant. " I replied. For some reason I kind of trusted these ponies with my memories, but I just hope Celestia doesn't view the wrong memories. "Alright prepare yourself everypony I will now cast the spell. " Celestia announced. With that said Celestia walked towards me and her horn started to glow. "Raiden just relax and don't worry if anything happens I will simply stop the spell. " Celestia said. "Alright prepare yourself. " Celestia said. Celestia's horn touched my head and then everything went black, suddenly we were in a dark void like place, I looked around and I saw Celestia, Luna and the other six were here as well. "Princess where are we? " Asked Twilight. "We are in the realm of memories. " Celestia replied. "Realm of memories? Seriously? " I Asked. "Well I didn't come up with the name. " Celestia replied. "Princess something is happening! " Said a very confused Twilight. "Yes we are being transported in one of Raiden’s memories. " Celestia replied. And with that said a bright light appeared and the memory started. [youtube= Youtube Video ] After the memory all of the ponies were and crying again , even Celestia was crying but for some reason Luna was not crying, she just looked at me with a sad expression. Suddenly I was tackled to the ground by a pink blur, when I looked up I saw Pinkie on my chest, her once poofy mane was straight down and her eyes were filled with tears. She kept crying on my chest, my armor was literally soaked with tears. "Why would they *sob* d-do *sob* t-that t-to y-you? " Pinkie asked. ‘Ohh fuck what do I do now? Well I hope this works as well as it did with Luna.’ I thought. I then started to comfort Pinkie. "Hey shhh it's alright, listen Pinkie I'm a soldier, I fight to protect the weak and sometimes it can cost you things and in this case it cost me my arm and eye, but hey I'm still alive so there's no need to be sad , that counts for all of you. "I said while comforting Pinkie Pie. Pinkie got of my chest, I could see that they were still allows sad, Pinkie's mane was still down and Celestia was still whimpering. "Celestia I think you and the other girls have seen enough come on let's get out of my head. " I suggested. "N-No! "Said a stern Pinkie. "What do you mean with no, you girls aren't used to war or death for that matter I don't want to scar you with my memories. " I replied. "No I mean I want to see what happened to those big meanies. "Pinkie replied. ‘They fucking died that’s what happened.’ I thought. Everybody started to get a hold of themselves and after a a few second Rainbow Dash spoke up. "Yeah dude *sniff* you were like totally awesome, well not as awesome as me of course but still pretty awesome, like when you beat that giant thing that attacked you and you just cut it to pieces. " Rainbow Dash said. "Well darling I for one thought that you where kind of brutish, but I understand it was either you or them but for Faust’s sake their clothing was just hideous, how can they walk around like that. " Said Rarity. Everyone face palmed at Rarity's comment. "Rarity it's not clothing it's armor and when it comes to armor people don't care about clothing, they just care about the protection the armor provides them with. " I replied. "Well that armor of them didn't give the a lot off protection now did it. " Applejack said. "Well when you're using a high frequency blade cutting things will get a lot easier. " I replied. "High frequency what now? " Asked Rainbow Dash. "It's a blade that can cut through almost everything. " I replied. "Wow that's so cool can you show it to me? Can you? Can you? " Asked Rainbow Dash. "Well Celestia took my blade so I can't show it and also I said while pointing at the darkness, we are still in the memory realm. " I replied. "Princess about my sword. " I said. "Well Raiden I can see that you mean no harm to any off my subjects but I will give you your sword back tomorrow, does that sound good to you? " Celestia asked. "Yeah sure but why tomorrow? " I asked. "Well I just don't think it would be wise to let you walk around with a sword in the castle. " Celestia replied. That was it, I was already angry about the part that she took my sword, but now she was refusing to give it back!? Who was she to say what I could do and what I could not do!? That girl needed to be taught some manners. "Listen here Princess! You took my sword without my permission and now you are refusing to give it back!? You know what we call people like you on our world? We call them thieves, liars, egoistic bitches! You are gonna give me my sword back right after we get out of this memory realm you got that girl. " I said with much anger, to be honest I was really pissed, nobody touches my sword without my permission. NO.BODY! "Hey there buster you don't talk to Princess Celestia like that you got that? " Asked a very angry Rainbow Dash. "Oh yeah and what are you gonna do about it!? " I replied. "I'm gonna kick your flank if you try to hurt our Princess! " Rainbow Dash replied. "And I'll buck ya in your chest untill ya can't even walk straight! " Said Applejack. "If you try to hurt Princess Celestia I will make sure you won't go out unharmed. " Said Twilight. "I knew you were a brute the moment I laid my eyes on you! " Rarity said. "You're just a big meanie like those others from your memory! " Pinkie said. "Oh real mature, first your all crying your eyes out because off what happened to me and know your saying I'm the bad guy? " I said. "The Princess should have banished you to the Sun when she had the chance! " Twilight said. "Well why won't you all just fu--" "ENOUGH! " I was interrupted by a loud voice, it appeared to be Celestia using that loud fucking voice again. "Listen Twilight Sparkle, Raiden is just very confused off all of this and as you may have seen he has been through many wars and his blade was the only thing that he had to protect himself with, I think that when I took his blade I took something that was very close to him, imagine how you would feel Twilight Sparkle if somepony would take away all of your books, how would that make you feel? Asked Celestia. " "It would make me feel.......Angry Princess. " Twilight replied. "And that is just how Raiden feels right now, he's angry, he’s on a whole different planet and he's the only one of his kind on Equestria. " Celestia said. All of the ponies looked at me and said "We're sorry", well almost all of them; Rainbow Dash just gave me a angry glare and Fluttershy hid behind her mane. "Alright apology accepted let's just get this over with and Celestia I want my sword back right after this. " I said. "Yes Raiden you will get your sword back after this. "Celestia replied. "Alright fine. "I replied. "Now onto the next memory. " Celestia announced. Just then another bright light appeared and we were sent in another memory, except this one was a little older, it was during the time I encountered Snake in the middle east. Youtube Video After the memory the ponies were awestruck, they looked at me with compassion and sadness. "W-Why would that man try to k-kill you? " Fluttershy asked. "He was a bad guy Fluttershy but in his eyes I was the bad guy. " I replied. "How did you not die!? " Rainbow Dash asked. "Well that is one of the advantages you get as a cyborg, your body can withhold many attacks and fatal wounds. " I replied. "But that other Human wasn’t a cyborg. " Celestia intertwined. "That is true, Vamp wasn’t a cyborg but because of his Nanomachines his wounds would heal extremely fast, thus meaning that Vamp was immortal. " I replied. "Raiden that other Human that helped you, was that Snake? " Celestia asked. "Yes that was Snake. " I replied. "I see, his voice it was full of…..Pain and suffering. " Celestia replied. "He’s been through a lot. " I replied. "Like what? " Twilight asked. "Trust me Twilight, Snake has been through war as well…..But he has it much worse than me. " I replied. "What do you mean? " Asked Twilight. "I don’t want to talk about it, Snake deserves some rest…..he saved our world countless of times….He was called a Hero and Patriot but whenever I called him a hero he would always say, I’m no hero, never was never will be, I’m just an old killer, hired to clean up the wet work. " I replied. "That Human never took any recognition for his actions? " Luna asked. "Nope. "I replied. "Now that is the sign of a true hero. " Luna replied. "Heh maybe you should tell him. " I replied. "Maybe one day We will get the chance to tell him that personally. " Luna replied. "I’m sure Snake will be looking forward to that day. " I replied. "*Ahem* Not to be rude but I think we have seen enough for now, we will be leaving Raiden’s memories. "Celestia said. "Sure thing Princess. " I replied. After that said Celestia’s horn started to glow and a few seconds later we were back in the throne room. "Alright everypony my guards will escort you to your chambers, please follow them. " Celestia said. All of the ponies responded with a "Yes Princess" and left the throne room, leaving Me and the two Princesses in the throne room. "We are going to try and sleep again sister, good day to both of you. " Luna said. Luna disappeared with a *pop* and then it was just me and Celestia….Again. "So what now? " I asked. "Well as promised here is your sword. " Celestia said. Suddenly my sword appeared right on front of me, I grabbed it and sheathed it. "Raiden I have a favor to ask you. " Celestia said. "What is it? " I replied. "Would you mind telling me more about Snake and his adventures? " Celestia asked. "Why? " I asked confused. "I can see he is a very wise Hu"—"Man" I cut her of. "Right man I would like to know more about him. " Celestia replied. "So you’ve taking a interest into Snake eh? " I asked mockingly. "What no I mean well…..Maybe a little. " Celestia replied. "I don’t blame you, I was a big fan of Snake to but trust me, he had a hard life and his adventures are not the ones you seek treasures in. " I replied. "Snake really did make a big impression on you didn’t he? " Celestia asked. "He was the one that told me to live my life and not to waste it. " I replied. "Wise words from a wise man right? " Celestia asked. "A very wise man. " I replied. "Well Raiden, dinner starts at eight so you have two more hours to prepare yourself. " Celestia said. "Thanks Celestia. " I replied. "No Raiden thank you. "Celestia replied. Ten minutes later the mane six………………………….. "So what do you girls think of Raiden? " Asked Twilight Sparkle. "I don’t like him. " Rainbow dash replied. "At first I thought he was a mindless brute but now I’m not so sure, I feel kind of sad for him, I mean you’ve seen what happened to him in his past. " Rarity replied. "Ah think that he needs to wash his mouth after the things he said to the Princess but Ah also feel for him, he has been through a lot. " Applejack replied. "I-I t-think t-that h-he is just m-misunderstood. " Replied Fluttershy. "I first thought he was a big meanie but now I’m sure he can be fun to be around to! " Replied an enthusiastic Pinkie Pie. "Yeah but who is this Snake Princess Celestia and Raiden were talking about? " Twilight asked. "Yeah, I mean we don’t even know who he is, how would the Princess know who this Snake dude is? " Asked Rainbow Dash. "Well whoever he is, he must have been a great influence in Raiden’s life, I mean the way Raiden talked about him it seems to me that he was a good friend of him or something. " Pinkie Pie said. All of the ponies looked at Pinkie, mouths wide open. "What I can be smart to! " Pinkie said. "Oh Pinkie, you can be so random. " Twilight said. Everyone started to laugh at Twilights comment. Meanwhile in another room………………………………… "Snake I wish I could tell you how much you have done for me, how much you have done for everyone, you see yourself as an old killer, but know that…….You are living your life, not as a Snake but as a man. " Meet Jack The RipperIt was a sunny day in Canterlot, Celestia's sun shined brightly over the beautiful city. An alien creature had arrived in Equestria, this creature was Raiden and right now Raiden was fast asleep, laying in his bed drifting away to the land of dreams. Inside the throne room, two Princesses were discussing a very important topic..... "We still think it would be for the best to let sir Raiden to stay with us in the castle." Luna said to her sister. "Why do you keep insisting that he should stay here?" Celestia asked. "We are not saying that he has to stay, but think how the ponies of Ponyville would react to him." Luna replied. "We simply cannot keep him a secret forever Lulu, we have to tell our subjects about our little alien." Celestia said while taking a sip from her tea. "But sister, what if Raiden doesn't want to leave?" Luna asked. "Then I see no objection to let him stay here in the castle." Celestia replied. "We shall ask sir Raiden for his aswer immediately!" Luna said while her horn started to glow. "Lulu wait!" Celestia shouted. "What is it sister?" Luna asked. "It is still early in the morning, I don't think Raiden is awake yet." Celestia replied. "We are sure Raiden is fully awake!" Luna said. "How do you know?" Celestia asked confused. "We might have ordered two guards to wake him up." Luna replied sheepishly. "Lulu what have I told you about waking up our guests when they are still asleep?" Celestia asked. "You told us that we should wake until they are fully awake." Luna replied. "And is Raiden fully awake?" Celestia asked. He is now. Luna replied. "Oh Lulu y-." Celestia was cut of by a familiar voice coming from the door. "Princess, the guards told me you wanted to speak to me?" The voice asked. "Yes Raiden, please enter." Celestia replied. With that said the door opened and revealed a very sleepy Raiden standing in the doorway. "Not that I didn't like our conversation yesterday, but could this not have waited just a little longer, like an hour or two." Raiden said while wiping away the sleep from his eyes. "I'm sorry Raiden but it appears that my sister insisted talking to you before she goes to sleep." Celestia replied. "Oh alright. What do you need to know Luna?" Raiden asked. Well We were thinking that you might want to stay in the castle until we find a way for you to return to your world. Luna said. "Ehm I eh I appreciate the offer but I kinda promised Twilight that I would come with her to Ponyville." Raiden replied. "What!? When did Twilight ask thee that sir Raiden!?" Lune asked while using the Royal Canterlot voice. "Well.........." Last night, 2 hours after the realm of memories........ Raidens POV, "Snake I wish I could tell you how much you have done for me, how much you have done for everyone, you see yourself as an old killer, but know that…….You are living your life, not as a Snake but as a man. " I said. I looked up at the sealing and started thinking about what happened in the last few days. Well I'm trapped in an alien world were almost all of its inhabitants are ponies, I have no clue as to how I am going to be able to return to Earth, I have my sword back (thank god) and I've befriended the rulers of this planet. So you could say it isn't all that bad, but I still have to get home as quickly as possible. *Knock* *Knock* "What?" Who knocks on a door this late? Well I'm not going to get any sleep anyway so I might as well answer it. I walked over towards the door and opened it, I was surprised to see Twilight standing in the door opening. "Hey Twilight." Do you need something? I asked. 'Is she wearing pajamas?' I thought while looking at her. She had this hat on that kind of looked like a Santa Claus hat, and she was wearing what appeared to be light blue pajamas. "Well actually yes I do, do you mind if I come in?" Twilight asked. "Ehm I guess not." I said while gesturing for her to come in. Twilight walked inside my room, she began pacing around and started humming, as if she wanted to say something. "Twilight this is just a guess but, are you perhaps here to ask more questions?" I asked. Twilight looked at me, an awkward smile planted on her face. "Ehm well uhm.....Yes." Twilight said while looking down at ground. "I just couldn't sleep because of all the things I still want to ask you, like your world, all the technology and many other things.......But I'm guessing you want to get some sleep so I'll just leave." Twilight said disappointed while walking towards the door. "Wait Twilight!" I said. She stopped in her tracks and looked at me with a confused expression. "Yes what is it?" She asked confused. "Listen I can't really sleep right now, so I wouldn't mind a little company." I replied with a smile. "Really!?" She asked with a hint of enthusiasm. "Yes Twilight really." I replied. "Oh thankyouthankyou!" She said while jumping up and down. "Alright alright heheheh." I replied while chuckling at her childly behavior. She really reminds me of Little John.......If I only was there when it happened. I looked at Twilight, she was still jumping and it appeared she had already teleported a paper and quill. "Alright Twilight make yourself at home." I said while sitting down on the (not so comfortable) bed. Twilight made her way over to the bed and sat down beside me. "Alright first question. Where you always a cyborg?" She asked. "No, at first I was just a normal Human being but eventually I became a cyborg." I replied. "Why did you choose to become a cyborg?" Twilight asked while scribbling something on the paper. "Well I didn't choose to be a cyborg I was forced." I replied. "Why would somepony force you if you clearly didn't want to become a cyborg?" She asked. "Twilight I have told Princess Celestia the same thing that I'm about to tell you, but she promised to keep it to herself and not tell anybody about it. So what I'm asking is, can you assure me that you will keep this to yourself." I said. "Of course I'll even Pinkie promise it!" She replied "Pinkie what now?" I asked confused. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. Twilight said while flapping her wings and pretending to stick something in her eye." She said. "Uhm I take it that that is a yes?" I asked. "Yep." She replied. "Alright this is what happened." I said. And with that I started telling her everything, The Big Shell indicted, I told her about Snake (who she became surprisingly interested in for some reason), my mission to rescue Sunny from The Patriots (leaving out the part about me becoming an alcoholic) and how I got captured and turned in to a cyborg. Twilight was writing furiously, she had already broken 2 quills and had used up a lot of paper and ink. I feel sorry for the trees on this planet. I thought while looking toward Twilight. I also told her about the time when I teamed up with Snake and fought alongside him to stop The Patriots from total world control and how we fought against Snakes twin brother Liquid, after explaining who Liquid was and what he had done, Twilight told me he reminded her of Discord before his reformation. So after a lot of words and 2 more broken quills my story came at an end. "And that's basically my life in a nutshell." I said while standing up and stretching my arms. "Wow that's a lot to take in, and to think you had to cut off your own.....arm was it?" She asked. "Yes, I had to do a lot of crazy things in my life." I replied. "And that Liquid *shivers* just the thought makes my body tens up. To think that he was Snake's brother, I mean from what you've told me, Snake sounds like a good.....ehm person?" She asked. "Yes he was a good man, he has been through a lot, but he always fought to protect the ones he loved and to protect the world from evil men like Liquid and Solidus." I replied. "Yeah, but for some odd reason you haven't talked about Solidus as much as you talked about Liquid." She said. "Well it's just that.........-" I trailed off. I got a flashback about my time as a child soldier, how I was trained to kill at an age of five and how I got my nickname, I could still hear the screams of all those people who died by my own hands. "Raiden are you alright?" Twilight asked. "Huh? Uhm yeah yeah I'm fine." I replied while trying to forget the images from my past. "Are you sure *yawn* Raiden?" asked a sleepy Twilight Sparkle. "Yeah I'm fine, but you are very tired aren't you?" I asked. "Well we have been talking for 2 hours or more so yeah I'm kind of tired, I think I'm going to go back to my room and try to get some sleep." Twilight replied while jumping of the bed, only to fall face first on the floor. "From all the sitting; her legs must have gone tired." I thought while getting of the bed. "Owwwwww." Twilight said while rubbing her muzzle with her hoof. "Are you alright?" I asked while bending down to take a look at her muzzle. I gently put one hand under her muzzle while lifting it up to meet her face to face. "It seems to be alright, it'll probably become a bruise later but nothing serious." I said while letting go of her muzzle. "Thanks." She mumbled. "Twilight just before you go back to your room, could I ask you something?" I asked. "Sure." She replied. "How did you managed to get to my room without being noticed by any of the guards?" I asked. I" simply teleported to your room." She replied. "Ok I guess that's how the guards didn't notice you, but wait!" I said while pointing at the door "aren't there two guards guarding my room." I said. "I might have asked Princess Luna to dismiss the two guards that were guarding your room." Twilight said while rubbing the back of her head awkwardly. "And Luna just agreed to that?" I asked. "Well yes and there is the fact that she wants to talk to you as well when I was finished." Twilight replied. "So I'm guessing Luna is waiting outside?" I asked. "Thou art correct Raiden!" Luna replied to the question. "Well good luck Raiden and could you do me a favor?" Twilight asked. "Sure what is it?" I asked. Twilight then signaled me to bend down so she could whisper something in my ear. "Would you like to return to Ponyville with me and the others so I could ask you some more questions about your world?" Twilight asked/whispered. "Why? Can't you just visit the castle any time you want? I mean you are Princess Celestia's personal student after all." I whispered back. "Well it's just that I feel a little more comfortable in my library, and there is the fact that Pinkie won't let you stay here until she has thrown you your Welcome to Ponyville party." Twilight replied. "*sigh* Alright Twilight I promise to come with you and your friends." I replied. "Do you Pinkie promise?" Twilight asked. "Uhm sure I Pinkie promise." I replied while holding out my hand. Twilight looked at my hand confused before speaking up. "You said that you would Pinkie promise." Twilight said. "I am!....I am right?" I asked. "You don't remember how to Pinkie promise do you?" Twilight asked while chuckling a little. "No I guess I forgot." I relied sheepishly. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Twilight said while flapping her wings and putting her hoof in front of her eye. "Ehm, Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye?" I said while trying to mimic the same gestures Twilight made, it ended up with me flapping my arms up and down as if I wanted to fly, and accidentally poking myself in the eye. "Ahhh shit!" I shouted. "*chuckles* Don't worry, the same thing happened to me as well." Twilight said while walking towards the door. "Luckily I didn't poke my other eye out, I would hate to walk with two eye patches." I replied while rubbing my eye. I looked toward the door and I saw a purple aura covering the doorknob. 'I still have to get used to the whole magic thing.' I thought. The door opened and revealed Luna standing in the doorway. "Hello Princess." A now sleepy Twilight said. "Hello Twilight Sparkle, thou art tired art thee not?" Luna asked. "Yes *yawn* Princess I am very tired, I think that I'm going to teleport back to my room and try to get some sleep". Twilight replied. "That would be a wise idea Twilight Sparkle, sleep well." Luna said. Twilight gave the Princess a smile. Twilight horn began glowing and a second later she was gone. Luna looked at me and gave a, me a warm smile. "Could We come in Raiden?" Luna asked. "Err sure I guess we can talk for a while." I replied. "Fantastic!" Luna said while walking inside and closing the door with her magic. "So what do you want to know?" I asked while sitting down on the bed. "Well We were hoping thou would tell us something." Luna said. "And that something is?" I asked. "Well thou sees, when We visited thine nightmare we were attacked by you, for some reason We could feel the pain when thee impaled Us with thine sword." Luna said. "Didn't you already told me this when I visited your chambers?" I asked confused. "Yes thou did." Luna said while blushing. 'Why does she keep blushing around me?' I thought. "Well We would like to know how thou were able to hurt Us." Luna said. "Listen Luna, I have no idea as to how I able to hurt you in a dream, but if you are still afraid of me I completely understand." I replied. "No no We are not afraid of thee, it is just that thou didn't seem like the Raiden thou art now." Luna said. "The Raiden I am now?" I repeated her last words. "Yes thou were acting really strange, thou had this......Darkness around you, a darkness so dark that We thought Discord had something to do with it, but then We remembered his reformation and the fact he was probably at Fluttershy's cottage Luna." said. "Luna there are some things I'd rather keep to myself, like my past. The only one who know about my past are Snake, Otacon, Roy Campbell and my..........Ex-wife." I said while thinking about Rosemary and the hard times we've been through. "Ex-wife? So does that mean thou art divorced?" Luna asked. "Yes I am divorced." I replied. "Why?" Luna asked. "That's something I'd rather keep to myself as well." I replied while looking Luna straight in her eyes. "Ok We understand, it must be hard for you isn't it?" Luna asked with a hint of concern. "It was very hard in the beginning Luna, I even tried to end my life once." I replied. Shit! Why did I say that!? Suddenly tackled me into a bone-crushing hug. "Wow Luna what's wrong?" I asked confused. "Why did thou try to take thine own life!?" Luna said while tears were starting to form in her eyes. And here we go again. I bend over and gave Luna a hug just like I did yesterday. "Luna." I whispered. "*sob* Yes?" She asked. "Listen you don’t have to cry about me, you barely know me. Heh last time I checked you tried to blast me with magic." I said. "Raiden *sob* thou has been trough much pain and *sob* suffering, We know how thou feels, We know what it’s like to be alone." Luna replied. "Listen Luna you don’t have to worry about me, I know about your banishment, your sister told me about it." I said. Luna broke the hug and looked at me with an even more sadddened expression. "And t-thou thinks We are a m-monster?" Luna asked. "No, I don’t think you are a monster, you felt jealousy against your sister, I can understand how you feel, you wanted the ponies to enjoy your night at its fullest, but all you got were a bunch of sleeping ponies who didn’t care about your night." "But know this Luna, people shouldn’t be afraid of the night, they shouldn’t be afraid of the dark because the moons beauty and light will always guide them through the darkness." Luna looked at me a smile forming on her face, before suddenly tackling me in another hug. *Oomph*. Was the only thing I could say. "Thank thee Raiden, thine words mean the world to Us. Thou art the first to say something nice about our night." Luna said while hugging me. It was kind of awkward, here I was being hugged by a Princess. The hug was almost like a Human hug, she had her front legs around my waste and her head in my chest. "Uhm your welcome?" I said. Luna looked up at me, tears in her eyes, but these tears were tears of happiness, not of sadness. "Raiden thou art the first one to care about our night but we must know one thing." Luna said while breaking the hug. "What is it?" I asked. "Did thou mean what thou said about the moon? About it being beautiful?" Luna asked. "Luna when I was young I would always look up to the moon, I would think about things that I had done in my past, even when I was older and became a cyborg I still looked up to the moon. The moon was my guide throughout many of my missions and it will always be my guide." I replied. Luna’s tears had been replaced by a big smile on her face. "Thank thee Raiden, we will leave thou to rest." Luna said. "Goodnight Princess." I replied. Luna gave me a smile, her horn started glowing and a few seconds later she was gone. 'Wow that was one of the toughest nights I’ve ever had…….Aside from fighting Sundowner.' I thought while moving towards the bed. I might as well try to get some sleep, But still what is up with Luna? I mean she acts……Weird around me, the first time me met she was ready to kill me, but now she hugs e and has cried in my arms for two times. "I'll figure it out tomorrow." I said while getting in bed. Damn ponies. Couldn’t even get a decent bed for me, well luckily for me my body can resist the pain I’m gonna have in my back tomorrow. After a few minutes of thinking about what had occurred; I decided to get some sleep and just forget the whole thing. 'Luna must have nightmares about her past as well, she probably just needed someone to talk to.' I thought. And with that thought sleep took over and I drifted off to the Land of Nightmares. Luna POV 'I cannot believe that Raiden actually likes the night!' I thought while flying over Ponyville. But what is this strange feeling I get in my tummy when I see or speak to Raiden? I decided to shrug it off and continue my stroll around Ponyville. 'My dear subjects, look at them, they are all asleep. Even Raiden is asleep- RAIDEN!' I thought while stopping in midair. I still do not know what attacked me in his dream. I need to know, and the only way to find out is to *gulp* visits his dreams. I thought while remembering the entre scene that occurred in his dreams 'I just need to know.' I thought. And with that said I flew back towards Canterlot, back to whatever lurks in Raiden’s dreams. Five minutes later, Canterlot……. I arrived at Canterlot and immediately teleported to Raiden’s room, I saw Raiden, he was fast asleep. 'He looks peaceful.' I thought. 'Well here goes nothing, but this time I am prepared for whatever comes at me.' I thought while moving closer to Raiden. 'Raiden I am truly sorry about this but there is no other way.' And with that I entered Raiden’s dreams, only to be greeted by a horrifying scene. Youtube Video "What what was that?" I thought while trying to process the scene I has just seen. That was defiantly not the Raiden I know, Raiden was plain out evil, he murdered those men, he got stabbed and it didn’t even seem to hurt him and then he turned of those pain inhibitors so he could feel the pain!? 'Should I tell Tia about this?' I thought. "Welcome back Princess." A voice said. "What, where art thou!?" We know thou art there Raiden!" I shouted. "I’m right behind you sweetheart." The voice said. I turned around and saw The same Raiden I saw in the flashback, he was covered in the same red aura and he had this smile that could scare a dragon to its bones, Raiden pulled me in the dark void we were in before and started talking. "It’s a pleasure to see you again Princess." Raiden said. "What art thou and what has thou done with the real Raiden!?" I asked. "I am the real Raiden Princess." The voice replied laughing maniacally. "Thou art not the Raiden We know!" I said while trying to blast him with magic. My magic simply bounced off Raiden, Raiden looked at me before reaching behind his back and grabbing his sword. "Tell me Princess." Raiden said while playing with his sword. ( he’s doing the same thing he did while talking to Monsoon by the way) "Have I ever told you my real name?" Raiden asked. "Thou has told Us thine name but thou art not the Raiden we speak of!" I shouted. "My real name is not Raiden Princess." Raiden said. "What is thine real name then?" I asked. "Jack The Ripper." Raiden replied. "The Ripper?" I asked. "Yes the Ripper, as in I’m gonna rip you apart!" Raiden shouted while running towards me at full speed. "Oh no thou art not pulling that one on us again!" I shouted. "What are you gonna do? I’m in control here!" Raiden shouted while holding his sword up. His sword came down and was inches away from my head, but luckily for me I had learned from my mistakes and concentrated all my energy on this spell. I quickly casted the spell and before Raiden could strike me down I was already gone. "No!" Jack shouted. Jack looked up at the darkness before speaking up. "You got lucky this time Princess, but trust me, when the time comes I will have your head." "*gasp* No Rose I………..*sigh*Just another nightmare." Raiden thought while going back to sleep. What Raiden didn’t know was that a certain Princess was watching him. "Just what art thou not telling us Raiden?" Luna asked. And with that said Luna teleported herself outside of Raiden’s room, the encounter with Jack The Ripper still fresh in her mind . Canterlot throne room, Raiden POV "And you are sure you want to go with Twilight to Ponyville?" Celestia asked. "I am certain Celestia……And I kind of Pinkie promised it." I replied sheepishly. "Well then I see no reason to decline your decision." Celestia said. "Thank you Celestia, but if you find anything that could help me get home please let me know immediately." I said. "I will Raiden and have a safe trip." Celestia replied. "Thank you Celestia……And if you want to know more about Snake you just got to ask." I said with mockingly. It appeared Celestia blushed a little at my comment. "Uhm I eh *ahem* I will." Celestia replied. "Alright Celestia , thank you for all of this, I mean me being an alien on your planet and you’re treating me as an equal. I said. "You have saved Ponyville from those raiders and you save Twilight Sparkle, this is the least I can do for you Raiden." Celestia replied. "Thank you Celestia." I replied. "No Raiden Thank you." Hello Ponyville!Raiden POV, The flight to Ponyville wasn’t a quiet one. Twilight and her friends kept asking me questions about my world, my life as a cyborg, and if I would show them more off my technology. Eventually the flight ended, we landed in the middle off Ponyville square, all of the ponies who were in Ponyville square were in for a big surprise 'Not the smartest idea.' I thought while stepping out of the chariot. The ponies stopped what they were doing and began to watch me. "Here we go again." I mumbled. "Everypony can I have your attention please!" Twilight shouted while stepping out of the chariot. The others soon followed. Another chariot was preparing to land. In that chariot were: Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack. The ponies didn’t listen to her though, they began to shout and were starting to back away. "What is that thing doing here!?" One of the ponies shouted "Why isn’t it locked up behind bars!?" Another shouted. "Everypony please calm down." Twilight said, trying to calm the crowd of angry ponies down. The crowd didn't listen to her, they began to shout even louder. "Shut up for a second! Twilight is trying to explain why he." Rainbow Dash shouted while stepping out of the (recently landed) chariot, and pointing her hoof at me "is here in Ponyville." The crowd immediately went silent, only a few mumbles could be heard. "Now that I have your attention let me introduce you to the hero who saved Ponyvillle." Twilight said while pointing her hoof at me. "Meet Raiden, the cyborg from Earth!" Twilight said. "Earth? In what part off Equestria is that?" A Brown Earth pony asked. "Well it’s not in Equestria." Twilight replied sheepishly. "Is it in Griffonia then?" A red Pegasus asked. "No." Twilight replied. "Mino--." "Listen I am an extraterrestrial being from the planet Earth." I said while walking towards the crowd. "I am not here to hurt anyone and I can assure you that I am not here to invade your planet or something." I said. The crowd went silent for a minute before a young unicorn filly walked up to me and spoke up. "A-Are you t-the one who s-saved Ponyville?" The blue filly asked. "Yes, I saved your town, I saw what those raiders were doing, and trust me when I say that my people deal differently with raiders than you ponies do." We’d probably kill all of them, or sent them to a prison with only water and bread to feed themselves with. The young filly looked up at me in awe, when suddenly giving my leg a hug. "Thank you mister alien." The filly said while hugging my leg. I smiled and carefully bend down to return the hug. "Seriously everypony. This is the big bad alien you are all afraid off?" Twilight asked while poitning her hoof at me. Twilight only got a few mumbles back in response. The filly broke the hug and ran back to a pink unicorn mare. 'Must be her mother or something.' I thought while looking at the mare. "Mommy mommy! Did you see what I did?" The filly asked excitedly. "Yes I did sweetie." The mare replied while looking at me. She gave me a warm smile and spoke up. "He." She said while pointing her hoof at me. "Saved all of our lives. Who knows what would have happened if he didn’t show up when those raiders attacked the town." The pink mare said. "We would have all died probably." Rainbow Dash said. She got a slap on the head by Applejack in return. "Ya can’t just go around and say something like that. Applejack snapped at her. "Hey I’m just telling the truth." Rainbow Dash replied. "Could you two please continue this argument elsewhere?" Twilight asked annoyed. Rainbow Dash and Applejack looked at her before giving her a awkward smile. "We’ll be quiet sugarcube." Applejack said. "Yep! No words coming out of this mare’s mouth." Rainbow Dash replied while holding her hoof to her mouth. "Good. Now as you all know Raiden is an alien, meaning that he is not from this world; but that does not mean we should treat him differently. Twilight said while walking up to the crowd. "He will be treated with the same respect you would give to anypony." Twilight said. The crowd nodded in response. "Could I ask the alien something?" A dark orange filly asked. "Sure Scootaloo, I’m sure Raiden would love to answer your question. But after that; we need to return to the library to show Raiden were he will be sleeping." Twilight replied. "He’s staying with you Twilight?" Scootaloo asked confused. "Yep! Now what was it you wanted to ask him?" Twilight asked. "Uhm, I-I kinda saw you fighting those Diamond Dogs and well……Could I see your sword?" Scootaloo asked pleadingly. 'Shit! She saw me cut those dogs into pieces? That’s gonna give that kid some serious trauma’s.' I thought while unsheathing my sword. "This is my high frequency blade sword." I said while showing her my high frequency blade. A few ooh’s and aah’s were heard from the crowd. High frequency? What does that mean? Scootaloo asked confused. It basically means that this sword can cut through almost anything. I replied while sheathing my sword. "Almost antyhting?!" Scootaloo shouted. "Yep almost anything. Like stone, metal, wood.......Magic." I replied with a grin. "Wow that is so cool!" Scootaloo exclaimed. 'She really reminds me of Little Jon when he saw me in the hospital after the Outer Haven incident…….I’m sorry that I couldn’t always be there for you kiddo….And it’s too late to apologize now.' I thought while looking at Scootaloo’s excitement. "Alright everypony that’s all for now, you can ask questions later on and--." "You can all ask questions at the big Welcome To Ponyville/Thank you for saving our lives party!" Pinkie exclaimed. "A party? For him?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well duh silly, he saved our lives and he’s new in Ponyville!" Pinkie replied with much joy. "And of course you’re going to throw him a a party aren’t you darling?" Rarity asked. "Yep! I already planned the entire thing out in Canterlot." Pinkie replied. "What!? How were you able to do that so fast?" Rarity asked shocked and astonished. Pinkie just shrugged. "I’m Pinkie Pie, you know I can do those things." "Well I suppose you do darling." Rarity said. "Well let's go before anything unusual happens." Twilight whispered. "Unusual? Darling whatever are you talking about?" Rarity asked. "Well you know normally when something exciting happens in Ponyville; there is always something to ruin it." Twilight replied. "Ruin what?" I asked while walking up to them. Twilight gave me a nervous glare before speaking up. "Well it’s just that when something this big happens in Ponyville; it usually ends with us fixing a problem that was caused by the big thing that happened." Twilight replied. "So basically what you’re telling me is: Don’t make a scene?" I asked. "Well either you make a scene or--." "WATCH OUT BELOW!" Someone screamed. i looked up and saw a gey pegasus. "That could happen." Twilight finished while pointing her hoof at the sky. I looked up and saw a grey Pegasus flying directly towards me. I quickly rolled out of the way and the Pegasus collided with the royal chariot. *CRACK* 'Shit. Let’s hope that was the chariot and not her.' I thought while getting up. "Derpy are you ok?" Twilight asked while walking towards (the now) broken chariot. " Yeah I’m totally fine Twilight!" Derpy replied. 'What the hell is wrong with her eyes?' I thought while walking closer to Derpy. Derpy looked up at me (well one eye did) and stared at me in awe. "Wow! I'm so sorry mister alien sir." Derpy replied while getting up and brushing the dust off herself. "My name is Ditzy Doo, a pleasure to meet you!" Ditzy said while holding out her hoof. I smiled at her, I bended over and grabbed her hoof. "Raiden." I replied while shaking her hoof. "I saw you fighting against those raiders a few days ago, and I have to say that they were absolutely no match for you." Ditzy said. I let go off her hoof and stood back up. "You saw me as well huh?" I asked. "Yep, but not for long though." Ditzy said. "What do you mean not for long?" I asked confused. "I fainted when you cut that first Diamond Dog in half." Ditzy replied. "Oh. Well….Sorry about that I guess." I said sheepishly while rubbing the back of my head. "Aaah forget it." Ditzy replied while ruffling her wings. "But I have to go now, so I'll see ya around?" Ditzy asked. "Sure thing Ditzy." I replied. Ditzy gave me a smile and took off…….Only to crash 20 meters further. "Does she always do that?" I asked Twilight. "You have no idea." Twilight replied. She looked at the crowd before speaking up again. "As Pinkie told you; you can ask Raiden anything you want tonight at the party." "Anything? Like how he lost his eye?" One of the ponies asked. Seriously!? Again with my fucking eye?! "Uhm, yes even that." Twilight replied. "Alright Y’all, let’s hear it fer Raiden!" Applejack shouted. The crowd responded with a "Yay Raiden!" Some more cheering was heard afterwards. Well that’s the first time this has ever happened, normally when I would save someone I would get a thank you and that’s it. But here they are cheering for me and are going to throw me a party. I could get used to this……Could. "Are you ready to leave Raiden?" Twilight asked. "Yeah I’m ready." I replied. "Alright, then let’s go." Twilight announced. I nodded and started to walk with her towards the library. Luckily for us the library wasn’t too far away. When I was walking away from the crowd I could hear them saying all sorts of different things like: "I can’t believe that there is an alien in Equestria." Or: "Did you see his sword?" I chuckled at their excitement. But I couldn’t blame them, I was an alien to them. A few minutes later we reached the library, on the way to the library we came across some ponies, they greeted us with simple Hi’s or How are you doing? They were startled a bit when they first laid eyes on me, but eventually they warmed up. "Here we are again." Twilight said while opening the door to the library. "Yeah." I said while looking at all of the variety of bookcases. There were so many, just so many books. No wonder Twilight wanted to know so much about me, she probably wants to write a whole book over Earth and the Humans. "If ya’ll don’t mind; I’ll be heading towards Sweet Apple Arces. Ah still need to help Big Mac with them apple trees." Applejack said. "Yeah I think I’ll be heading out to, I've got to manage the weather as the most awesome pegasus of Equestria." Rainbow Dash said while hovering over my head. "Could you please stop that?" I asked slightly annoyed. "Alright, alright jeez what's up with you?" Rainbow Dash asked sarcastically. "I didn't get a goodnight sleep." I replied. "Aah I know how you feel, when I don't get a good night rest I become very grumpy." Rainbow Dash said while trying to mimic a grumpy face. "Really?" I asked sarcastically. "Really." Rainbow Dash replied. "Maybe I was wrong about you Dash, you're not as bad as I thought." I said while holding out my hand. She looked at my hand before smiling and placing her hoof in my palm. "I was wrong about you too, but you have got to show me some of those awesome moves I saw you doing in your memories........Without killing anypony of course." Rainbow Dash said. "Uhm Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked. "What is It Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You do know that Applejack left right?" Twilight asked. ".......That's the 4th time she's done that to me! Alright I gotta go! See you Twilight, see you Fluttershy, see you Rarity, see you Pinkie." Rainbow Dash said while flying towards the (recently) opened window. She stopped right before she flew out. "And goodbye Raiden The Big Bad Cyborg from Earth." Rainbow Dash said while trying to mimic a movie trailer voice. "See you later Rainbow Dash." I called back. "With that said she took off, leaving a rainbow trail behind her." Damn she is pretty fast. "N-Not to be rude but uhm….I need to go back h-home to see how my animal friends are doing." Fluttershy said. "And I need to return to the boutique darling, I still have some things to do." Rarity said. "Well I’ll see you two at the party! i have to prepare the snacks and cupcakes" Pinkie exclaimed. With almost as much speed as Rainbow Dash she opened the door and ran out. "How does she keep doing that?" I thought. "Tata darlings." Rarity said while walking towards the door. "Bye Rarity." Twilight said. "I-I’m going to leave now…..If that’s okay with you of course." Fluttershy said. "Sure Fluttershy. Will we see you at the party tonight?" Twilight asked. "S-Sure I’d love to c-come." Fluttershy replied with a smile. Fluttershy gave us a smile and walked out the door. "A party for me huh? I’ve never been to fond of parties but I guess I can make an exception." "Well Raiden it appears it’s just you and me…..So what do you want to do?" Twilight asked. "I don’t know Twilight." I replied with a shrug. "What do you want to do?" "Well I would really appreciate it if I could ask you some more questions." Twilight replied. I mentally sighed, but I knew that she as just curious. "Alright, let’s do it." Twilight gave me a warm smile and levitated a paper and quill. Alright just take a seat on one of the chairs and we can get started. Twilight said while sitting down on a chair. I sat down on a chair as well, a few *cracks* were heard but luckily it didn’t break. 'This chair is really uncomfortable.' I thought while trying to sit in a comfortable position. "Alright first question: What did you think of the Princesses?" Twilight asked. "Well I thought they were nice, they reminded me of a good friend of mine." I replied. "Let me guess, Snake?" Twilight asked. "Yep, but I did notice some strange things." I said. "Strange? Like what?" Twilight asked curiously. "Well is Princess Luna always this caring about her….Visitors?" I asked. "Caring? Well Princess Luna is really nice. While she was Nightmare Moon in the past; that doesn’t mean she still is. We banished Nightmare Moon and freed Princess Luna." Twilight replied. "Yeah I heard the story from Celestia, a thousand years is a long long time. She must have felt devastated when she first returned." I said. "She was in the beginning, but Celestia told me that she was beginning to warm up to everypony." Twilight replied. 'Yeah she warmed up alright.' "Alright, second question: What do you think of Equestria?" "I think it is a beautiful land, from what I’ve seen it looks peaceful and not to mention very colorful." I replied. "So you like it here?" Twilight asked. "Yes Twilight, I like it here." I replied. 'But I still need to get back to Earth as soon as possible.' "Aright third--." "Twilight are you home?" A voice from upstairs cut Twilight off. "Oh I almost forgot. Twilight said while getting up. "You remember Spike right?" "Yeah I do." I replied. "Spike I’m downstairs." Twilight shouted back. "Alright I’m coming." Spike said. A few steps were heard on the stairs, within seconds the little dragon stood downstairs. He smiled at Twilight, but froze in place when he saw me. "Hey there Spike." I said. Spike just stood there, his eyes were filled with fear. "W-What i-is h-he d-doing here T-Twilight?" Spike asked. "Well he." Twilight said while pointing her hoof at me "will be sleeping here." Twilight replied with a hint of joy. "S-Sleeping here? As in here in the library, the library were we live in?" Spike asked. "Yes Spike, is that a problem?" Twilight asked. "N-No problem Twilight, heheh." Spike replied nervously. "Listen kid; there is no reason for you to be afraid of me. I won hurt you or anyone for that matter. So please let’s start over." I said while walking towards him. I bend over and held out my hand. Spike looked at my hand for a few seconds, unsure of what to do. He eventually placed his claw in my palm. I gave him a firm handshake. "Now do you still find Raiden scary?" Twilight asked. "Scared? Me? Hah no way I was scared." Spike replied while buffing his chest. I decided it was time to pull a practical joke on him. "Boo!" I said. "Waaah!" Spike shouted while falling on his back. Twilight giggled while Spike just sat there; still processing what had just occured. ".......Did you just pull a joke on me?" Spike asked. "*chuckle* Maybe I did and maybe I didn't." I replied with a grin. "Oh it's on now." Spike said. "Now Spike don't go around and prank Raiden just because he pranked you." Twilight said. "But he pranked me. That means I get to prank him back." Spike replied while crossing his arms. "Yes, but do you remember when you used to prank me and I didn't prank you back?" Twilight asked. "Yeah I do, you didn't prank me back; instead you let me do all the chores for 2 days." Spike replied grumpily. "Yep, so do you get what I'm trying to learn you?" Twilight asked. 'She's learning him something?' I thought confused. "Uhm, no not really Twilight." Spike replied. "What I'm trying to say is: If someone does something to you, you shouldn't take revenge on him or her, instead just ignore what they." Twilight said. "So I should just ignore the fact that Raiden pranked me?" Spike asked confused. "Basically yes." Twilight replied with a smile. "Fine, Raiden I forgive you for pranking me." Spike said defeated. "You don't need to apologize to me kid." I said. "Really? That's great!" Spike said. "Spike!" Twilight said. "Uhm I mean thank you Raiden?" Spike said. "That's better. Now since your down here you can ask Raiden some questions for yourself." Twilight said while pointing her hoof at me. "I can?" Spike said enthusiastically. "You can Spike." I replied. "So cool! Alright first question: Why the eye patch?" "*sigh* I lost my eye while fighting an enemy of mine, this eye-patch though is special." I replied. "What makes it special?" Spike asked curiously. "It works the same as any normal eye would, it's basically a new eye." I replied. Wait, so your telling me that you can see with that thing?" Spike asked confused. "Yep." I replied. "Prove it!" Spike said. "Huh? What do you mean prove it?" I asked. "Close your eye and I'll point my claw at something, if you can guess were I'm pointing it at; I'll believe you." Spike said. "*sigh* You are one stubborn little…..I'm sorry what were you again?" I asked. "I’m a dragon." Spike replied. "Yes, you are one stubborn dragon aren’t you?" I asked. "Yep! Now close your eyes…..Uh sorry I meant eye." Spike said sheepishly. I did as he told me to and closed my right eye. "Alright, were am I pointing at?" Spike asked while pointing at one of the bookcases. "You’re pointing at the bookcase on the far left." I replied casually. "What! How did you….You just got lucky." Spike said while pointing his claw at Twilight. "What am I pointing at now?" Spike asked. "You’re pointing at Twilight." I replied. "How!? How do you do that?" Spike asked confused and irritated at the same time. "Like I told you, this eye-patch is like a second eye to for me." I replied while pointing at my eye patch. "How were you able to make such a thing?" Twilight asked in awe. "I didn’t make it, Doktor did." I replied. "Well if you ever return to your world I'll make sure to come with you." Twilight said. "Oh? And why is that?" I asked curiously. Isn’t it obvious? Twilight asked. Could you imagine me a unicorn from Equestria being able to go to an alien planet! I can already imagine how your planet looks like. Big buildings even higher as Canterlot itself, alien machines, and of course…..*gulp* those cyborgs. Twilight said while hesitating the last remark. "Well you got almost everything right." I said while walking towards a bookcase. I grabbed a book and surprisingly enough I was able to read it. "The History Of Equestria." I read out loud. "Twilight’s mouth stood agape. YY-You c-can read Equestrian?" Twilight asked. "Well it's written in perfect English, so yeah I can read it." I replied while closing the book. "This is so amazing." Twilight said while bouncing up and down. "So that means that I could read books from your planet as well right? Riiiiiiiiight?" "I guess so." I replied. Heh she’s even happier than Rose was when we first started dating…….I miss you Rose, but it was for the best. I’m so sorry about Little John i-if I was only stronger then…… "Raiden is everything alright?" Twilight asked concerned. "Huh? Oh y-yeah I’m fine." I replied. "Well let’s go back to the matter at hoof." Twilight said. "Twilight are you just going to talk about books with him or are you going to show him around?" Spike asked. Twilight looked at Spike before giving him a cheeky smile. "Heheh sorry I got kinda carried away there." Twilight admitted sheepishly. "Let me show you were you will sleep Raiden." Twilight said while gesturing me to follow her. I followed her towards the back of the library, she opened a door; we walked downstairs towards to (what I guessed) her basement. "Here we are Raiden, it's not much but it's the best I can offer. Now there has got be a spare mattress around here somewhere." Twilight said. "Thanks Twilight, this will do." I said with a smile. "So I guess Ill leave you to prepare yourself for the party then?" Twilight said. "I’ll just need to make a few arrangements and then I’ll be upstairs." I replied. Twilight gave me a smile and walked back upstairs. 'Shit she forgot to tell me where the mattress was……Oh never mind.' I thought while grabbing the mattress. Wow this thing is not heavy at all. I thought while picking up the mattress and putting it down on the ground. It’s not big enough for my entire body but it’ll have to do for now. Alright I think that’ll do for now, at least Twilight was kind enough to lit some candles, and luckily there is a window so that the sun can brighten this room. I decided to settle down later and walked back upstairs. I was greeted by Twilight holding a paper and quill and two cups of water that stood on the table. "Let me guess: Long talk?" I asked, already knowing the answer. "Yep! Now shall we begin?" Twilight asked. "No! Yes of course Twilight." I replied with a smile. "Hey do you two mind if I join you?" Spike asked. "Not at all Spike." Twilight replied. "Just grab a chair kid." I added. Spike gave us a wide smile, he grabbed the nearest chair and sat down next Twilight. "Alright let's begin." "Armstrong do you have any idea what you have done!?" Chrysallis asked. "I just saved your sorry ass and killed these 4 manticores with my bare hands, you're welcome your highness." Armstrong replied. "When are you actually going to do something about that attitude of yours?" Chrysallis asked. "When you give me what I want your highness......A way back to Earth." 'And when I return; nothing can stop me.' A new hero? Or a new enemy?"The hell are you thinking?" Demanded Raiden. "There's no way of convincing you to join me so I'm gonna end your life right here and right now!" Screamed Armstrong. "What the!" Was Raiden’s last words. Armstrong just gave him the biggest upper-cut a man could give, and while Raiden didn't feel much of it, he still went flying into the air. "SHIT" Raiden screamed in anger. "So long Jack." Said Armstrong. It felt like an eternity when Raiden was in the air and while he was in the air, he thought back of his life. "Is this really how it's going to end?" He asked himself. Just then a portal opened beneath Raiden and he was sucked in. "What the fuck!?" Screamed Raiden. And then everything went black. Twilights POV I watched the night sky with my telescope just like I did every night, for some reason I enjoyed Luna's night, it’s so beautiful, her stars and her moon was just beautiful. But then I saw something appear in the night sky like some kind of portal, but that was not the strangest thing, what frightened me the most was that something came out of the portal, I watched as the object fell out of the portal and crashed in the "THE EVERFREE FOREST!" I screamed. I got down to the library and opened the door. "I need to get to the forest as quickly as possible!" I said to myself. After about 10 minutes of galloping I was in front of the Evertree forest. Wait I need to get Fluttershy, she knows the Evertree forest better than I do. I thought. I ran as quickly as possible and before I knew it, I reached Fluttershy's cottage. I knocked on the door as hard as I could. "FLUTTERSHY WAKE UP! I NEED YOUR HELP!" I screamed. After about a minute of screaming and banging on the door, it finally opened and I saw a half awake Fluttershy in front of me. "Twilight what’s *yawn* going on" Fluttershy asked. "Fluttershy, no time to talk we need to go in the Evertree forest now!" "The Evertree forest why?" Fluttershy asked. "Just come with me and I’ll explain." I said. "Twilight I don’t think that’s a good WOAAAH!" I grabbed Fluttershy by her hoof and ran with her in to the Evertree forest. Ten minutes later....... "Twilight I really think we should go back." Fluttershy said while incredibly tired. "No Fluttershy whatever that thing was, I saw it out of that portal and landed here, we need to know if it’s dangerous." I explained. "A-alright Twilight if you say so." "Alright I think it crashed around here and-" Twilight was interrupted by a growling right behind her. Twilight never got to finish that sentence because a pack of timber wolves came up right behind them. "Eek what do we do now Twilight?" asked Fluttershy who was terrified. "I-I don't know, Somepony any pony help us!" We both screamed in unison. Ten minutes earlier. Raiden’s POV : I opened my eyes and looked around as I was still in a bit of shock to what happened. I instantly grabbed my sword and for some reason it was right where it belonged, which wasn't what I expecting. "What the hell?" I asked myself. "I thought Armstrong broke my sword in half?" I said out loud in confusion. And then I realized something, I wasn’t on the giant ass metal gear anymore, no I was in a forest? "What the hell is this bullshit?" I asked myself again. Then I heard something, I heard a scream, not just a normal scream no it was a scream of fear, a scream I had heard too many times. "Somepony anypony help us!" I heard someone scream. Wait somepony, anypony? Ah to hell with it. I got ready and I ran as quickly as possible, I used my ninja run to quicken the pass. When I arrived I saw something that I never expected, instead of woman surrounded by cyborgs, I saw ponies surrounded by wolves? Wolves that were made out of wood!? What the hell. But no matter how strange this seemed, I knew these pony's were in danger and I could see they were too weak to protect themselves so there was only one way to save them, kill the enemy, I vowed to protect the weak, even if I had to kill for it. "Hey over here you freaks of nature!" I screamed. I wasn’t afraid of these things i had faced greater threats then these puppy's. I unsheathed my sword and stood in a battle stance. The wolves quickly lost interest in the two pony's and started heading towards me. In a few seconds they had me surrounded. I smirked and I said a final few words before I cut these things to pieces, my visor clicked together. "I THINK ITS TIME TO LET ER RIP!" And that was the last thing those wolves heard, my blade cut through them like a knife through butter. I grabbed one wolf with my right and threw him into a tree with such force that he exploded, the other one leaped at me but I activated blade mode and sliced him into origami. Then I jumped in the air and vertically sliced one out of four instantly in half. I put my sword between my foot and spun around like a break-dancer on drugs. It only took me a few seconds before the rest of the wolves were nothing but sliced wood. I then sheathed my sword back where it belonged and walked to the two ponies. Twilight POV : I watched in both horror and awe as the creature cut the Timberwolves in pieces like it was nothing. Fluttershy had already fainted, and if it couldn't get any worse the creature started heading towards us! "Hey its okay I'm not going to hurt you." It said I was in shock, the creature could talk! And it talked Equestrian! "P-please don’t hurt us." I nearly managed to say without fainting. "You can talk?" It said. "Y-yes I-i can talk." I said. "What’s your name?" It asked. "Twilight S-s-sparkle." I said. "Twilight Sparkle, strange name." it said "Hey!" I said, louder then I wanted to. "Quite the spice in you." It said That was the final blow, after the creature said his last sentence I fainted and everything went black. Raiden POV : "Shit, i just wanted to asked were i was and now this! "Well i need to take these two to shelter before they both freeze to death. I thought. I picked both of them up and strangely enough they didn't weigh as much as i expected. "Alright lets get you two to safety." I thought to myself, after a few minutes of searching i found a cave and i put them down, i then went outside and chopped down a tree and started to collect some firewood. "Strange." I thought to myself, how did i get my sword back, and for some reason my visor is fixed as well. I went inside the cave and i set up a campfire, i then picked up the pony's and put them on some leaves i collected, "it wouldn't be nice of me to let them sleep on the ground now would it?" i said to no one particular They were fast asleep and i thought to myself, "how the hell did i end up here?" And with that thought i drifted of to sleep. The next day.... Raiden POV : I awoke early just as normal, the nightmares of my past still haunting me i couldn't help but to think back p to the day i killed Monsoon, the day that The Ripper was set free. Suddenly I heard some moaning and mumbling, and i assumed that the pony's were waking up. "*yawn* Twilight were *yawn*are we?" "I *yawn* don’t know Fluttershy." I said. "Good morning to you to." A low voice said. "Aaaah who said that, huh oh no its you, please don’t hurt us Mister Monster I was just watching the night sky and then all of a sudden you fell out of some kind of portal, I swear I just wanted to know what it was, please don’t hurt us." Twilight said. "Twilight who are you talking to....eek! What is that thing Twilight?" Fluttershy asked. I could see that these pony's were scared of me....I don’t blame them if they knew what i really was they would shit their pants, wait do pony's even wear pants? Ah fuck it. I thought. "Hey don’t worry your save now, those wolves are gone no need to panic." I said. "Y-you can talk?" I heard the pony with the pink mane ask. "Yes i can talk, now would you mind telling me where I am?" I asked. "Y-Y-You’re in the Evertree f-f-f-forest." The purple pony said. "Evertree forest what the hell kind of name is that, listen I know that I'm in a forest but were am I? Be more specific." I said getting a little irritated. "Well you’re in Equestria of course." The purple pond said. "Equestria, never heard of it, is it in the United States?" I asked. "The United what?" The yellow one asked. "Never mind, your name was Twinkle Sprinkle right?" I asked. "Twilight Sparkle." She said. At least I think she's female, She has a fen omen voice. I thought "Oh right sorry, but how is it that you can speak English?" I asked. "What's English, and how is it that you can speak Equestrian?" She asked. "I’m not speaking....aaaah never mind, listen all I know is that one day I'm fighting a senator on Nanomachines and the next thing I know I'm in some kind of fucking candy land." I shouted. "Uhmm guys?" I heard a soft voice say. "Huh oh right I haven’t introduced you to my friend, this is Fluttershy, Fluttershy meet....ehm I’m afraid I didn’t get your name." She said. Raiden. I replied. Raiden that’s an odd name, but never mind that, Raiden I would like you to meet my friend Fluttershy. She pointed to the yellow one. "Hello Fluttershy it’s a pleasure." I said. "Eek!" Was the only thing that came out of her, mhpff poor thing must be scared as hell. I thought. "Don’t worry I'm not going to hurt you I promise." I assured her. "Don’t worry about her Raiden she'll warm up to you eventually, and thank you for saving our lives from those Timberwolves how did you do it anyway?" She asked. "I killed them by using my.... tactics." I said. Suddenly Fluttershy's shy nature turned into one of pure rage. "YOU KILLED THEM?! YOU MONSTER WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY TO SCARE THEM AWAY! YOURE A MONSTER! MONSTER! KILLER! YOURE EVIL!" Fluttershy screamed. "FLUTTERSHY THATS ENOUGH!" Twilight screamed. "But Twilight he killed those poor wolves" Fluttershy screamed. "I'm sure that Raiden had a good reason for....killing those Timberwolves....right?" Twilight asked. "It was either you or them, i chose you don’t make me regret my decision, do you know if there is any kind of civilization around here? " I said. "Well the closest town is Ponyville of course." Said Twilight. 'Ponyville? What the hell kind of name is that for a town?' I thought. "Alright lets go then." I said. "Whoa wait a sec you cant just walk in and expect that everypony will ignore you, you will probably get the entire Royal Guard on your flank!" Twilight said. "Don’t worry I'm used to stealth if you know what I mean." I assured her. "No I don’t know what you mean." Twilight said. "Let’s just say that they won’t see me okay?" I assured her. "Alright I trust you, just don't go around and scare everypony." Twilight said. "Why, am I that ugly?" I asked "Ehm lets just say Ponyville has had some hard times, and....well the pony's get scared really fast, and think that if they would see you well you can guess what would happen next."Twilight said. "Alright I understand, lead the way." I said. "Okay lets go, Fluttershy are you coming?" Twilight asked. "Yes Twilight I’m coming." Fluttershy said. I swear I could hear her say something about me being a monster and she's right I am a monster, I'm am The Ripper. I thought. ........................................................................................................................ After about a twenty minute walk and Twilight bombarding me with questions about what I was and were I came from we finally arrived at the town, Ponyville if I remember correctly. "Were here!" Twilight said "Well here goes nothing." I said to myself. The town itself wasn't a big deal, it was like a Medieval town, just like Earths strange. I thought. After about ten minutes of stealth we arrived at our destiny and it was a tree!? 'Things are getting weirder here by the minute.' I thought. I simply shrugged it of and I went inside the library by jumping through an open window, 'How convenient.' I thought. "Raiden are you there?" I heard Twilight ask. "Yeah im in your bedroom I think!" I shouted. "My room! Oh my please get down here!" She asked with a little embarrassed tone. I heard Twilight shouting something about getting out of her room, so I just opened the door and walked down the stairs. *THUNCK* "AAHH SON OF A BITCH!!!!" I screamed. I forgot that this house was probably build on pony-size, so instead of me being smart I bumped my head on the ceiling. "Are you ok?" I heard Twilight ask. "Yeah I'm fine." I said. I didn't lie because I was fine, you know pain-inhibitors and stuff. "Alright Raiden, I'm going to get the rest of my friends and then we can sort this out ok." Twilight asked. "Alright i'll stay hidden in here mind if I read something?" I asked (oh yeah I forgot to mention Twilight lives in a freaking library!) "No not at all just....don't break anything." Twilight said. "Don't worry Twi I won’t." I said. "Did you just call me Twi?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, Twilight Sparkle is way to long you don't mind do you?" I asked. "N-no not at all." She said. I swear I could see her blush, but its probably my imagination. "Alright we'll be right back!" She said. After Twilight and Fluttershy left I sat down on the floor and I started to meditate. Twilight POV : I was running as fast as I could I need to get the others and tell them what happened! But while me and Fluttershy were running we heard somepony scream... "EVERYPONY RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" I heard a stallion scream. "AAAAAAAH!" Another screamed. "WHATS GOING ON!?" I asked. "Diamond Dogs, there raiding the entire village!" The stallion said. "Get everypony into safety, tell everpony to lock their doors and stay inside!" I ordered "Y-yes but what about you two!?" He asked. "We'll stop those Diamond Dogs. I said." "T-twilight, I don't think that’s a good idea." Fluttershy said. "Come on Fluttershy we need to help the other pony's, we can take these Diamond Dogs." I said. "A-alright if you say so." Fluttershy said. We ran towards the town square, and when we arrived, Appeljack and Rainbow Dash were already on the scene. "Look Dash its Twilight and Fluttershy." Appeljack shouted. "Sure took them long enough." Rainbow Dash shouted. "What’s going on?" I asked. "Ah don't know Twi, we were just ejoyin ourselfs when all of a sudden these Diamond Dogs showed up and startin to raid the village!" Appeljack said. "Yeah but we drove them back but they just won't give up!" Rainbow Dash added. "Alright everypony we have to stand our ground!" I shouted. "Yeah!" the others shouted in usion. But then all of a sudden Rainbow Dash was grabbed by a Diamond Dog and he grabbed her wings and then he threw her on the ground a loud "CRACK" was heard. "Owww my wing, I-I think it’s broken." Rainbow Dash said. All of a sudden our act of bravery was transformed in an act of foolishness, we were surrounded by at least twenty Diamond Dogs. "Girls if this is tha last time a'll ever see ya then I just want to say that is was great knowing ya'll." Applejack said. Then one of the Diamond Dogs came closer to us and it raised it sword, and we all prepares for the worst, i looked up and i saw his sword coming down, i closed my eyes and i started crying, and so did the others. "Is this really how its going to end?" I asked myself. I took one final glance at the Diamond Dog and I could see its sword getting closer and closer, it was like everything went in slow motion. I prepared for the pain to come but it didn't? I opened my eyes and i could see the Diamond Dog, but it looked different it had a blank expression on its face....and then all of a sudden it fell on the ground its body cut in half I looked at it and I immediatly started to vomit. When I was done i looked up and I could see something big and it walked on two hind legs and it was fighting the Diamond Dogs. "R-Raiden?" I asked to nopony particular. And then everything went black. Appeljack POV : Ah thought we were done for, but boy was ah wrong! When I thought that we were gonna get slaughtered, all of sudden this strange creature jumps in front o us and cut that Diamond Dog in half! Then it started killing the other ones as well, and maybe a minute later there were only 4 Diamond Dogs remainin, it was horrible this thing was far worse then those Diamond Dogs, he is takin them out like its nothin! I looked to ma right and a see that Rainbow Dash had already passed out, probaly because her wing was broken, and Fluttershy well she passed out before the creature arrived and Twilight "oh no Twilight!"I shouted "Twilight wake up!" I shouted. "No response, but seriously what in tarnation is thang!?" I shouted. I watched as the creature cut the last remaining Diamond Dogs to pieces one by one, and it kept saying somethin about keeping somethin in check, don't know what that’s supposed to mean. I couldn't hold in my breakfast and I vomited till there was nothin left in my tummy Eventually I fainted as well and I was afraid of what would happen next. Raiden POV : I was rudely awoken from my meditation as i heard screams of terror, screams i heard to often, i got up from the ground and exited the library, i used my ninja run to quick the pass. When I arrived at the town square, i saw what the commotion was all about, some kind Dog but that doesn't matter, these dogs were raiding the whole damn village, that was enough reason for me to take em out. "Hey doggy.... fetch!" I said as i unsheathed my sword and cut the dog that was going to kill Twilight in half. I then saw that there were two other pony's as well, one of them being badly injured. I saw that Twilight, Fluttershy and the blue pony had already fainted, poor things. I thought I quickly cut the remaining dogs to pieces and shouted something to the remaining four, "You are lucky I'm able to keep The Ripper in check!" I shouted. And those were the last things those dogs heard, i killed them as quickly as possible, I’m not saying i didn't enjoy it, but I’m not going to tell anyone that, wait what!. Where did that come from!? Damnit I'm not going to become The Ripper again! After the whole scene i quickly got a feeling I was being watched, and my feeling was right it appears that everyon-ehm I mean everypony was watching the whole scene. The pony's looked at me with either fear or horror, an awkward silence lasted for what felt like hours until I decided to break the silence. "Ehm how is everypony doing today?" I asked.
Painfull introductions Painfull introductions Raiden POV, "Ehm hello everypony" I said. "I think I pronounced it right." I thought to myself. After a few seconds of awkward silence everypony started to run away. "Well I'm of to a good start!" I thought. After all of the pony's left, I walked over to Twilight and her friend "at least I think these were her friends, I know that Fluttershy is her friend, but I don't know the other two. I checked every one of them until, I walked over to the cyan pony with the rainbow mane. "Hmm lets see, her wing isn't broken it's just dislocated, well I can try to reset it, but that could make things worse, I think that it's for the best to take these four back to the library." I said to myself. I quickly picked all of them up and put them under my arms. "Luckily for them I don't smell that bad" I said and let out a small chuckle. It was a ten minute run to Twilight home and when we arrived I quickly put Fluttershy, Twilight and the orange pony down on the couch. I then went upstairs and put the cyan one on Twilights bed, I checked her wing for the second time and I could see that it started to swell, so I went into Twilights kitchen and looked for some ice, after five minutes of searching I suddenly heard a voice coming from upstairs. "Twilight are you there?" The voice said. I turned around and what I saw shocked me a little bit. I saw a dragon standing in front of me! But not just a normal dragon no it was a little dragon, a baby you could say. "W...whoa what are you?" It asked. "I am lightening the rain transformed" I said to him, god I love that line, thanks again Snake. "Wha?" It said. "Never mind, Hey do you know where I can find some ice around here?" I asked. "Why would you need ice?" It asked. "because one of Twilights friends is hurt." I said. "What, how do you know Twilight, what did you do to her!?" he asked. "I didn't do anything, those she just fainted like the rest." I said in a matter of factly tone. "What do you mean like everyone else, don't you mean everypony? But what do you mean like the rest?" It asked. "Turn around and you’ll know what I mean." I said. The dragon did what I told him to do, but when he saw Twilight on the couch unconscious, he started yelling at me. "WHAT DID YOU DO!?" It asked. "Listen kid you can accuse me of anything you want, but wouldn't it be better to get some medical attention for your friends first?" I asked. I knew how to handle this situation, the poor dragon was just worried of his friends, so it would be best not to scare, nor provoke him. "So are you going to keep yelling at me or are you going to get some help?" I asked. "Alright I'll write a letter to the princess and ask her to bring her medical team with her." The dragon said. "Why not bring them to the hospital?" I asked "Would you really think that's a good idea, I mean look at you you’re a 7 feet tall walking monster!" The dragon said. "Yeah I guess you’re right, well then go write that letter, but isn't it going to take like a week for the princess to receive it?" I asked. "Uhm no, when I sent a letter to the princess she gets it in like one minute or so. The dragon said. "Really? How?" I asked. *Uhm magic ofcourse.* It said. "Magic, yeah right and if pigs could fly." I said sarcastically. "What?" He asked confused about what I just said. "Nothing all I'm saying is, magic doesn't exist." I said in a matter of factly tone. "Yes it does, from what part of Equestria are you?" It asked. " First I'm not from Equestria and second, if you’re so confident about, magic being real why won't you show it to me." I said in a mocking tone. "Okay watch." It said. I watched as the dragon wrote his letter to the princess, when he was done he rolled it up and then burned it!? Wait what, why would you burn a letter!? I kept watching the whole scene as the letter turned into green dust? And suddenly vanished our of the window. "See now do you believe me?" He asked. "Uhm I guess, so when will the princess arrive?" I asked. "Right about...........now." It said. I looked outside and I saw a bright light appear and then I saw her, the princess, she was a unicorn but she had wings!? But instead of seeing the princess surrounded by doctors and medics, I saw a princess surrounded by guards in golden armor. "What the hell?" I thought I asked for a medical team not the princesses guards. What did that dragon write to her. "CREATURE STEP OUT OF THE LIBRARY WITH YOUR HOOVES IN THE AIR!" One of the guards yelled. "Shit." I mumbled. I stepped outside the library and took notice of my surroundings. There were at least twenty guards, with full armor. But what bothered me the most was : why would a princess put herself in danger? For all she knew I could be very dangerous, is she afraid her guards can't handle me? I'm sure they have been trained well. While I was busy thinking about the princess, one of the guards thought it would be a good idea to throw a spear at me. The spear came right at me but it didn't do much it simply bounced of my armor. "What the hell was he trying to accomplish with that?" I thought. When the guards realized that their spears would do no damage to me, their horns lit up and they started shooting bolts of lightning at me? I dodged as many as possible but damn these guys have good aim! I got hit several times and to be honest it kind of hurt I didn't know how or why. "I thought my pain inhibitors reduced all the pain?" I said to myself. But maybe and I say maybe it could be that that little dragon was telling the truth and that there really is magic. "No I can't allow myself to believe that bullshit." I thought. But then out of nowhere a gold bolt of magic, or lighting, or whatever the fuck it was, hit me in my chest and sent me flying backwards. "Aaaaaaah!" I Screamed in pain. "Damn that one really hurt." I thought. I looked up to the princess and I saw a look on her face that said one thing : Don't fuck with this princess. I got up and decided it would be best to talk instead of cutting them to pieces. "Hey I just want to- AAAAAAAH!" I screamed. The fucking princess didn't even let me finish my sentence! No instead she shot another fucking bolt at me, I was starting to get really pissed right now! "Why won't you let me handle this?" A voice asked. "Who said that!?" I asked "Ohhw come Jack you know who I am." The voice said. "No it can't be." I said. "What do you mean it can't be? Of course it can" The voice said while laughing. "I vowed to never let you out again." I shouted. "Oh come on Jack just let me take over, just this once? Hahahaha!" The voice laughed hysterically. "No no no no nooooooooooooo!" I screamed. And then the only thing I heard were the screams of the past, the present, and even the future, all I saw was blood and death. I got up and ran at full speed towards the princess...... Celestia POV, It was just a normal day at Canterlot, I just finished all my paperwork and in a few hours I would have a meeting with a few scientist, the reason why well.....because yesterday there was an abnormally amount of magic above the Evertree forest, I was awoken from my sleep by it. So the next day I wrote a letter to the University Of Canterlot, to see what they could tell me about this amount of magic suddenly appearing out of nowhere. It was 4pm almost time for the meeting, that was until I received a letter from my faithful student Twilight Sparkle "Strange “I thought Twilight already sent me her report on friendship for this week. I said to myself. I opened the letter and started to read it, after I finished reading, I quickly ordered one of my guards to gather around twenty more, after a few minutes twenty-four guards arrived. "Guards!" I shouted. "Yes your majesty!" They all said in union. "I fear that the peaceful town of Ponyville is in danger." I said. "We will go there and neutralize the treat, am I understood?" I asked. "Yes your majesty!" Was their response. "Very well we shall depart immediately." I said. And with that said I teleported myself and the royal guard to Ponyville, only to encounter one of the most intimidating creatures I had ever seen. It walked on its hind legs and it probably around 7 feet tall, it wore black armor or at least I think it was armor because his skin had a different color, it appeared to be missing an eye and it had some sort of cutie mark on its face, it had almost no fur except for its head. It didn't surprise me that the creature could speak Equestrian, Spike had already told me about that in his letter and he also told me that it hurt Twilight Sparkle and her friends, that was enough reason for me to see it as a treat to Equestria. One of my guards was apparently frightened by the creature and thought it would be a good idea to throw a spear at it, boy was he wrong, the spear simply bounced of its armor, I thought it was going to strike the unfortunate guard down, but instead of doing that it simply kept staring at me. I thought it was going for me and my guards thought that as well, they started firing bolt of magic at it, I was surprised to see the creature dodge so many of my guards blasts, but it got hit nonetheless. After that I saw a opportunity, so I also shot a bolt of magic at it, this seemed to hurt the creature, but it was still standing, it said something to me but I simply ignored it and shot another blast at it, this one being more powerful. After that the creature went flying backwards and landed face-down on the ground. I thought it had been defeated, but I was wrong so wrong, the creature started talking to someone that wasn't here. "Who is it talking to, your majesty?" One of the guards asked. "I do not know." I said. Then suddenly the creature got up and ran towards at a speed I couldn't possibly imagine and before it grabbed me by my horn, I feared the worst, if the creature would break of my horn I could possibly die. I heard a loud "CRACK" and I thought I was done for, but then I realized something : No pain? What how can this be? When I opened my eyes I couldn't believe my eyes, the creature didn't break my horn no it broke the appendage that was holding my horn. I then saw an opportunity and I shot a powerful bolt of magic at it, sending it backwards and knocking it out. "Your majesty are you alright!?" One of the guards asked. "Yes I am fine, but we must get this creature to the hospital as quickly as possible!" I ordered. "Yes your majesty!" The guard saluted and ordered the others to lift the creature up by using their magic. I don't know why I didn't turned this creature into stone or banished it to the sun, something was............off about this creature it could have killed me but it didn't. "Why didn't it kill me" I thought to myself. It looked like it was going to kill me, but it didn't, it was almost like a part of it didn't want to kill me, like something was forcing it to do it. Whatever it was I needed to find out, maybe I misjudged it after all. "Commander!" I shouted. "Yes your majesty!" He said. "Tell the medical team to go inside the library and help Twilight and her friends, from the information I got from Spike's letter one of them is severely injured." I ordered him. "Right away your majesty" He saluted and went to the medical team. I walked to the library and went inside to check on my little pony's, I just hope the creature didn't hurt them too much. Ponyville has been through a lot today, first the Diamond Dog raid and now this! Can things get any worse? I went inside the library and I saw that my faithful student was already awake. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight said with. "My dearest Twilight Sparkle, how are you feeling?" I asked. "I'm feeling better, I just passed out that's all." Twilight said. "I am grateful that you are alright." I said. I saw Twilight looking around the library as if she was looking for something and she then asked me a question I kind of expected her to ask "Uhm princess you didn't happen to encounter a strange creature while you were here did you?" Twilight asked. My dearest Twilight Sparkle I think you might want to sit down for this, it is a long story.
Meeting the princessesRaiden POV, The first thing I noticed when I woke up was that I was not in Ponyville anymore. "What the hell?" How did I end up here? I thought. I looked around and I noticed that I was in a bright white room I was in bed, the bed wasn`t too comfortable probably because it was build for ponies, I then heard something outside of the door. "Is the creature awake?" I heard someone ask. "Not yet, but I think it will wake up in a few hours or so." The other one replied "Ok contact me immediately when it wakes up." The other one ordered. "Yes your majesty." The other replied. "What happened? " I asked myself. All I remember is that I talked to that dragon and then the next thing I know I’m being attacked by the prin-- OH THAT`S RIGHT I REMEMBER NOW, THE FUCKING PRINCESS. Just then the door opened and revealed a pony, a pony with a white coat, pink mane and tail, blue eyes, a nurse cap and a tattoo? What is up with those tattoos almost everyone of these ponies has one. And this one has a tattoo of a red medical cross with a pink heart in each corner. Strange I thought, I’ll have to ask Twilight about those tattoos. The pony (which I assumed was a nurse of some sort) just stood there looking at me with open mouth. I then decided to break the awkward silence. "You might want to close your mouth, you’ll catch flies if you keep it open." I said jokingly. "Y-Y-Y-You can talk?" She asked What is it with these ponies finding it extraordinary that I can talk, I then decided it would be for the best to be as polite as possible. "Yes I can talk, now would you please tell me where I am?" I asked trying sound as polite as possible. "Y-You’re in the Ponyville Hospital". She said. "The hospital..... heh figures." I said. "Y-Yes you where in pretty bad shape when the princess brought you in here." She said. "Wait did you just say the princess brought me here? Why would she do that?" I asked. "I-I don’t know, all I know is that your left appendage was broken when she brought you here, we had to perform surgery on you to stop the internal bleeding, and I have to say it was one of the most difficult surgery’s we have ever preformed." She said. "You fixed my broken arm? Well then I owe you one." I said. "Nonsense you were a pon-- errh what is your species called?" She asked. "Human." I simply replied. "Ok Human got it, as I was saying, you where a Human in need of help and it doesn’t matter what you are or where you are form all that matters is that we can get you back on your hooves as soon as possible."She said "Alright thanks, oh and by the way these things," I said while pointing at my legs, "are called legs" I said. "Legs you say? What a fascinating creature you are." She said. She then teleported a notebook out of nowhere and started writing, when she was finished she explained to me that princess Celestia brought me here after our little encounter, she told me that I was in critical condition and if the princess brought me in ten minutes later I would not be walking on Eqruestia anymore. "What’s your name by the way?" I asked. "My name is Nurse Redheart." She replied "The princess would like to speak with you creature." Nurse Redheart said. "My name is Raiden, so please stop calling me creature." I said politely. "Oh my bad I’m sorry Mister Raiden." Nurse Redheart replied. "Please call me Raiden mister makes me feel old." I said. "Oh ok I’m sorry if I offended you in any way. Nurse Redheart said. "That’s alright don’t sweat it." I said "Excuse me? " Nurse Redheart asked "Oh never mind that." I replied sheepishly. "Excuse me for one moment Raiden I need to tell the princess that you are awake." Nurse Redheart said. "Wait I don’t think that’s a good idea, the last time I met the princess it didn’t go so well." I said trying to avoid another incident with the princess. "Don’t worry Raiden I’m sure the princess won’t do whatever she did to you back then again." Nurse Redheart said. "If you say so, but don’t say I didn’t warn you." I replied. "I won’t Raiden, I won’t." Nurse Redheart replied. After that she walked out of the room, when she was gone I had some time to think about what to say against the princess. "Hmmm, maybe I should just tell her to *fuck off*." I thought. "Nah that wouldn’t be nice of me now would it?" I thought. After a few more minutes about me thinking what to say to the princess, the door opened and revealed Nurse Redheart and the princess standing in the door opening, I also noticed that there was another pony next to the princess this one looked a lot different than the other two pony`s, Her coat is a darker shade of blue, and her mane is partially translucent, rippling and sparkling. "How the hell is that even possible?" I thought to myself. "Hello creature." the princess said. "Hello princess good to see you again." I said sarcastically. "I know our latest encounter was..... Wasn’t what you expected it to be." The princess said "Which part do you mean? The part where you shot bolts of lightning at me, or the fact that you slammed me into the ground and nearly killing me?" I asked. "I am truly sorry for my acts but I received a letter from my students assistant Spike about a creature that had hurt my student Twilight Sparkle and her friends." The princess replied. "Wait is Spike a little baby dragon with no wings and a big mouth?" I asked. "Yes why do you ask?" the princess asked. Well...... I started telling the princess that I didn`t hurt Twilight and her friends but I merely tried to help them, I also explained that I told Spike to get some help for them and that he was probably scared of me and decided to call for back-up. "I see. I am truly sorry that this happened if there is anything I can do to make it up to you I would be happy to do so." The princess said. "Well there is one thing you can help me with." I started. "And what would that be?" The princess asked. "Would you mind explaining to me how the hell I got here and how I’m going to be able to return to my world." I said hoping to get some answers. "I am afraid I won’t be able to do both." The princess said. "Why not?" I asked. "Because it is a mystery for me to as to how you arrived here and how you are going to get back to your world". The princess said. "Well that’s just great! " I said sarcastically. "I am sorry that I cannot help you, but before me and my sister return to Canterlot we would like to know more about you." The princess said. "Ok, only if I get to know more about you, but don’t forget I haven’t forgiven you for assaulting me." I replied. "Alright then it’s a deal, but firs let us introduce ourselves, I am princess Celestia co-ruler of Equestria and this (princess Celestia said while motioning to the blue pony) is princess Luna also co-ruler of Equestria." Princess Celestia said. "I guess I`ll have to introduce myself as well." I thought "My name is Raiden and I am a Human from the planet Earth." I replied. "Earth? Why would thou name a planet after the dirt below our feet?" Princess Luna asked. "I don’t know, I didn’t name the planet." I replied "O-Oh o-ok." Princess Luna replied. "Well then Raiden what is your planet like?" Princess Celestia asked. "Well it’s similar to this planet, on my planet we have seven continents, I am from a continent called America or U.S.A." I said. "U.S.A?" Princess Luna asked. "It stands for United States of America." I replied. "Oh ok, but what is your country like does it have magic?" Princess Luna asked. "Here they go again with the magic bullcrap." I thought. "What is it with you ponies and magic, you know magic doesn’t exist right?" I said When I looked at the princesses they had a confused look on their face. "What does thou mean magic does not exist, if magic does not exist how would thou explain this." Princess Luna said. I looked at princess Luna only to see her horn being covered in a blue aura, when suddenly I found myself covered in the same blue aura that was covering Princess Luna`s horn. "H-Hey! put me down!" I ordered. Princess Luna looked at me for a few seconds and then she put me down on my bed again. "Does thou believe in magic now Raiden?" The princess asked. "I-I guess." I said while still processing what just happened. "Raiden I have to ask you something important." Princess Celestia said. "Yes what is it princess?" I replied. "Why didn’t you go through with it?" She asked. "Go through with what"? I asked. "With breaking of my horn." She replied. After princess Celestia had said that, princess Luna`s mouth stood wide open. "Thou did what to our sister!?" Luna shouted in a very loud voice. "Luna please calm down!" Celestia shouted in the same volume. "But sister it could have killed you if you hadn’t stopped it!" Luna said, while cooling down a little. "Luna, I know what Raiden tried to do and I know that he is sorry for what he did, isn’t that right Raiden?" Celestia asked. "Yes and just to let you know princess Luna, princess Celestia didn’t stop me, I stopped myself by breaking my own fucking arm! But that’s the past, now it’s my turn to ask a question again." I said. "And what would that question be?" Celestia asked. "What are those tattoos on your rears?" I asked. "You mean our cutie marks?" Celestia replied. "Cutie mark? What the hell kind of name is that for a tattoo?" I thought. "Well what is a cutie mark?" I asked. "A pony gets their cutie mark when he/she discovers his/hers special talent." Celestia replied. "Ok, but what does yours mean?" I asked while pointing at her cutie mark. "Well mine represents the sun." Celestia said. "Why? Do you have some special connection to the sun?" I asked confused. "Well in way yes, I raise the sun every day." The princess replied. "What? Did you just say you raise the sun.?" I asked. "Yes I do and my sister raises the moon every night." Celestia replied. "That’s not possible, you can’t just raise the sun it’s impossible." I replied. "It is not impossible. What my sister speaks of is the truth." Luna said. "Yeah right and I’m supposed to believe that" I asked mockingly. "Well why won’t we give thee a demonstration, because I believe it is time to raise the moon, right sister?." Luna asked. Celestia nodded in response. I wanted to reply but I was cut-off by Celestia who just told me to, sit back and enjoy the show. At first I didn’t know what she was talking about, but when a golden aura started to cover her horn I knew what she meant with sit back and enjoy the show. I watched as the princess closed her eyes, I then looked to princess Luna and I saw a blue aura covering her horn, I looked outside of the window and saw that the sun was indeed lowering and the moon started rising. "What the hell?" I thought. After a few seconds the sun was completely lowered and the moon fully raised. "Does thou believe us now Raiden?" Luna asked. "Y-Y-Yes I guess I do princess Luna." I replied. "But how? How do you do it? What kind of technology do you use?" I asked. "We do not use this technology you speak of, we simply used our magic." Luna replied. "So you where not lying about the whole magic thing?" I asked. "No we spoke the truth." Luna replied. "Alright, Raiden I bid you farewell, it is time for me to return to Canterlot." Celestia said. "Oh yes our sister needs her beauty sleep." Luna replied mockingly. "Luna! Even I need my sleep." Celestia replied. Luna just giggled and replied with a simple good night sister. After that the princess just went *poof* and she was gone. "Uhm?" I asked. "Teleportation spell." Luna simply replied "Oooookaaaayyyyy." I replied. It was just me and princess Luna, Nurse Redheart had already left when the princesses arrived in my room. "So what do you want to know?" I asked. "Well first of what happened to you left eye?" Luna asked. "Crap! Out of all things she just had to ask that question." I thought. "That’s something I’d rather not talk about" I replied. "Oh ok we understand." Luna replied. "Second question why did thou not attack my sister or her guards when she started attacking thee" Luna asked. "I didn’t want to I just wanted to help some friends in need" I replied. "You consider Twilight Sparkle your friend?" Luna asked clearly confused. "Well yes I do, she was nice enough to let me stay in her house, even if it was just a couple of minutes." I replied. I let out a yawn and that could only mean one thing. "Tired are we?" Luna asked. "Well yes I am kind of tired so if you don’t mind your majesty." I said. Luna looked at me for a few seconds but finally got the clue. "I will leave thee to rest, tomorrow my sister and I will return and we will pick up where we left." Luna replied. "Alright I’ll see you tomorrow." I simply replied. After a few seconds I heard a *pop* and when I looked over my shoulder princess Luna was gone. "Finally some peace and quiet." I said to myself. After a few more minutes I drifted of to sleep, only to be back in those nightmares of my past and the present, but this time I was not alone.
NightmaresLuna POV: I don’t trust this Raiden he seems to be telling the truth but there is something about him I just don’t like. "Well I guess we will have to wait until tomorrow, unless…….No I can’t do that…….Right?" I thought. "Well I suppose a quick look won’t do any harm right? Well then Raiden prepare yourself because today you will not be alone in your dreams." I said to myself. After a few more second I teleported to the Ponyville Hospital and then went into Raiden’s room. "Ah he is fast asleep, perfect now it`s time to see what your dreams are all about." I thought. After a few more moments of deciding what to do when my sister would find out about this I decided to enter his dreams and stay there just for a few minutes………Or hours, I mean what can the chances be that Tia would find out about this. "Alright Raiden time to see what your dreams are all about." I said with much enthusiasm in my voice. When I entered Raiden’s dreams, I could not see a thing, but after a few more seconds I saw something……..Something big, like a city, or a town. After getting closer and closer to the city I was completely blown away, the city was humongous it was like Canterlot but much bigger and……Dustier? The city looked like one of the city`s you would see in Saddle-Arabia, but of course much bigger and different. I went closer to get a better view, but merely four seconds later something came right towards me, something big, it was like anything I had ever seen, it had the shape of a rectangle and it was black, as a reflex I jumped aside and after that I wanted to face-hoove myself. "How can I forget, I`m in a dream and nothing can happen to me." I thought to myself. I decided I would follow the thing because I had a feeling I could get more answers from it. When I followed the thing I could hear voices come out of it, so I assumed that there where Hoomans in it, at least I believe that is what Raiden called himself. I decided that I would try to get in the thing, but since I was in a dream it wasn`t a problem at all. "When I was inside I saw Hoomans, six to be exactly and one of them was……Raiden. How convenient." I thought. It did feel kind of weird, I am in a dream, I am in this strange thing and to top it all off I was underneath Raiden, well not exactly underneath, but you know I am able to go through anything in a dream so technically I was ‘inside’ the vehicle. But then something happened, something that made me doubtmy previous comment …….Was this really a dream or was it a nightmare? Youtube Video After the scene I was both sad and horrified. What did I just see!? First I see this huge city and then all of a sudden this happens, why would they kill each other? Why would they do such horrible things? That poor prime-minister, he didn`t do anything and they still killed him!? And why was Raiden involved in all of this? All those questions, but they would not be answered unless I asked Raiden. And then it hit me……Raiden was holding back when they tried to arrest him! He could have easily taken out those royal guards that attacked him and he could easily have (how much it pains me to admit it) taken down my sister. "Just what are you Raiden, what are you not telling us?" I asked myself. I then felt something pulling me out the dream. "H-Hey! What is happening!?" I shouted. "You don’t belong here." Someone said. "Who art thou." I asked "None of your business." He replied. "I princess Luna demand to know who thou are and why We are here in this dark void!" I demanded using my Royal Canterlot voice. "You are in a dark void yes, you are also in my domain and something else. You thought what you saw was bad? You just wait and see hahahahaha." He replied laughing maniacally. "What does thou mean with you just wait and—AAAAAH!" I screamed I was interrupted by a sharp pain in my chest, when I looked down to see what was causing the pain I was horrified. I got impaled by a sword! "What, why is this happening? This is a dream this should not be possible, I should not feel this horrible pain." I shouted while tears started forming in my eyes because of the pain. "Ahwww is the princess going to cry?" He asked mockingly. I looked up from my impaled chest and what I saw blew my mind, It was Raiden standing in front of me, but he looked different, there was a red glow covering him and his voice was low and cold. "R-R-Raiden? *sob* is that *sob* thou?" I asked. "I`m sorry Raiden is not available at the moment." Raiden said. "What art thou *sob* talking about Raiden? Thou art standing right in front of me." I said. "You got it all wrong princess, why wont you ask Raiden when he wakes up Im sure he would love to explain." Raiden said sarcastically. "Please just let us go." I demanded. "Yeah I'll let you go but only because I'm in a good mood today, but please feel free to visit more often, I really enjoy your company." Raiden said. I then something being pulled out of my chest, I looked down and saw that the sword was no longer there and the pain was completely gone as well. I saw that Raiden had his sword back and he held it in one of his appendages after a few seconds of silence he came running towards me with incredible speed and he lifted his sword up. "Untill the next time princess." Raiden said. I looked up and I saw that he was closing in fast, I closed my eyes and prepared for the worse. I thought I was going to feel a horrible pain but instead when opened my eyes I found myself inside Raiden room and outside his dream. "W-what just happened?" I asked myself. I looked down and I saw Raiden moving around in his bed and mumbling something about a certain 'Ripper'. "I need to tell Tia about this immediately." I thought to myself. And with that I left the Ponyville Hospital and I started heading towards Canterlot with a lot of questions, but one question I wanted answered the most. "Just what is Raiden not telling us?" I asked myself.
Proper introductionsRaiden POV: I awoke from my slumber with a strange feeling, like someone was watching me. "It's probably my imagination." I thought. "Hello Raiden, slept well?" I heard someone ask. I turned around and I saw Nurse Redheart standing beside my bed. "Well to be honest no I didn't sleep well, the bed is too small......Or I'm just too big." I replied. "Well I have good news then." Nurse Redheart replied. "Really what is it?" I asked. "Well for some reason your body healed extremely fast and because of that I see no reason of keeping you here." Nurse Redheart replied. "So what you are saying is?" I asked. "I am saying that you won't be needing any medical attention, you are free to leave the hospital whenever you want." Nurse Redheart replied. "Really? That's great and all but where am I supposed to go?" I mean I'm still a alien creature right. "I think I can answer that question for you." Someone said. I looked to where the voice was coming from and to be honest I was not surprised, it was princess Celestia, but for some reason princess Luna was not with her. "Hello princess Celestia." I said. "Raiden there is no need for formalities, I am not your princess, so please call me Celestia." She said. "Alright then....Celestia, where is your sister?" I asked. "Luna? Oh yes like I explained yesterday Luna raises the moon every night, that also means that she is awake during the night and-." "Let me guess, that means she sleeps during the day." I said. "Yes you are correct, that is why I brought somepony else with me, I believe you two have already met." She said. I looked to the door and I saw that purple pony standing in the doorway. "Twilight Sparkle if I'm correct." I thought to myself. I saw Twilight looking at me with a mix of confusion, anger and.....Sadness? Yep she was definitely feeling down about something. "Yes we have already met, hello Twilight how are you feeling?" I asked. To tell you the truth, I already knew that Twilight was still a little shaken just by looking at her, she had bags under her eyes she must not have been sleeping well, probably because she had a near death experience. "I-I'm fine thank you." She replied. "Okay if you say so." I replied. "*Ahem* I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation but I believe we came here for different reasons, right my faithful student?" Celestia asked. After Celestia had said that, Twilight's ears perked up and that sad expression was replaced with a happy one.....A little to happy if you ask me. "Ah yes I almost forgot, Raiden me and princess Celestia came here to ask you some questions." Twilight said. "Let me guess you want to know what my world is like right?" I asked. "Well yes of course we want to know, I want to learn all about you and your world." Twilight replied with much enthusiasm. "Well to be honest with you Twilight I already explained some things to Celestia and her sister. Did she not tell you about those things I explained to her?" I asked. "Well no, you see after the whole Diamond Dog raid I was in the hospital as well, I had a light concussion and some bruises, but my friend Rainbow Dash had it the worst." She replied. "Really why?" I asked. "Well her wing was dislocated and they had to put it back in place, but that also means that she won't be able to fly for a week or two." Twilight replied. "And is that a bad thing?" I asked. "Well yes, Rainbow Dash is a Pegasi and she loves and with loves I mean LOVES flying, so when she heard that she wouldn't be able to fly for two weeks she started freaking out." Twilight replied. "Ok, well that sucks I guess." I replied. "Yes it does, buy luckily me and my friends will be able to help through this hard time." Twilight replied. "Jesus, what is it with these ponies and there friendly nature." I thought to myself. "Well my faithful student go ahead and ask away." Princess Celestia said. Before I could reply that I didn't want any more questions until I got something to eat, Twilight already teleported a paper and quill out of nowhere and started bombarding me with questions. "Where are you from? What is your species called? What are those appendages called? Where-." "Twilight!" I said. Twilight stopped talking and looked at me with a confused expression. "Yes what is it?" She asked. "One question at a time please and if you two don't mind, I would like to get out of this hospital bed and if it isn't to much to ask could I get something to eat?" I asked." Well of course Raiden what would you like to eat?" Princess Celestia asked. I have to say, for some reason Celestia really warmed up to me, is it because she is sorry for what she did to me or is it something else? I simply shrugged it off. "What does your species eat?" Celestia asked. "Well my species is omnivores so I can simply eat anything, except for hay and grass." I replied. After I told them I was omnivores Twilight stared at me with a disgust expression. "Y-You eat meat?" Twilight asked. "Yes I eat meat, is that a problem?" I asked. "No it is no problem at all, our neighboring countries such as Griffonia and their inhabitants eat meat as well." Celestia replied. "Wait Griffonia, are you telling me there are Griffons on this world as well?" I asked dumbfounded. "Yes here in Equestria there are many different species such as: Minotaurs, Griffons, Ponies of course and many more." Celestia replied. "Ok well that's a lot to take in, considering that Minotaurs and Griffons are legends in my world." I replied. "Wait are you telling me that your world knows about Minotaurs and Griffons. But they are only legends?" Asked a very confused Twilight. "Yes you are correct." I replied. After a few minutes of talking about my world and the different species inhabiting it, my food arrived, there was no meat, just a simple salad, I guess the meat will have to wait. I also told them that there were ponies on my world as well, at first they where dumbstruck about it but after I explained that the ponies on my world couldnt talk and that we Humans where the only sentinel creatures on our planet they seemed to understand. I didnt tell them about how we Humans used to ride horses and ponies ( if they even knew what a horse was). "Wow, but one more question before we let you eat." Twilight asked "And that question is?" I asked "How did you lose your eye?" Twilight asked. Damnit again that question, princess Luna asked me the same question yesterday!" I thought. "Well that's a complicated story." I replied. Well it wasn't really a complicated story, I lost in a swordfight against Jetstream Sam and that cost me my left eye and arm, but I wasn't going to tell them that it's personal. "I'm sure Raiden will explain his story to you my faithful student but for now let him eat, Raiden I heard that you no longer need any medical attention and that you are back on full health so I would be happy if we could finish this conversation elsewhere." Celestia said. "And where would elsewhere be?" I asked. "Canterlot." She replied. "Canterlot, what is it with these stupid horse-puns." I thought. "Ehm sure whatever you say princess." I replied. "Twilight I want you to go to Ponyville and gather the Elements of Harmony." Celestia asked. "I will princess." Twilight replied. After that Twilight left and I was now alone with the princess. "Raiden I need to have a word with you." Celestia said with a stern expression. "Ok shoot." I said. "My sister came running into my chambers yesterday, crying and telling me she had seen something horrible and that somepony hurt her." Celestia replied. "And what does this have to do with me?" I asked. "I didn't tell you this before Raiden but you see, my sister is the Princess of the Night, that be said she also has the ability to enter someponies dreams." Celestia said. "What are you getting at?" I asked. "I am saying that last night my sister entered your dream or nightmare as my sister told me and she said that she saw horrible things and that you hurt her." Celestia replied. Before I could reply Celestia's horn started to glow and I knew what was going to happen next. She lifted me up with her magic and stared at me with a stern expression., "If you EVER try to hurt my sister or any of my subjects I will personally see to it that you shall be punished am I understood?" Celestia asked. "What are you talking about? I didn't hurt your sister how can I hurt someone in a dream that's physically impossible!" I replied. "My sisters ability is none of your concern, but what I want to know is how you where able to even touch my sister? What kind of magic did you use?" Celestia asked with a stern voice. "Listen I don't have any magic, I didn't hurt your sister and I would never hurt any of your subjects unless I'm provoked." I replied. "And am I supposed to believe that?" Celestia asked. "Believe it or not, but don't you think that if I tried to hurt any of your subjects I would have done so already?" I asked. She looked at me for a few seconds before releasing her grip on me. "Alright Raiden I believe you, but try anything and I will not be as forgiving, do I make myself clear?" She said. "Crystal." I replied. "Alright Raiden eat your meal and meet me at the exit of the hospital." Celestia said. "Alright princess, I'll see you in half a hour." I replied. After that princess Celestia went out of my room I could finally eat something, the salad was good was just like any normal salad on Earth, while I was eating I thought of what Celestia told me, did I really hurt her sister? No if I had done so I would have remembered, unless......No that can't be that's ridiculous, but he did try to hurt Celestia as well, but how is he able to hurt someone in a dream? "No!" I have The Ripper under control.......Right? After a few more minutes of thinking I had finished my meal and I was ready to leave, my armor had not been removed, probably because they didn't know how. I couldn't find my sword. 'They probably took it.' I thought to myself. I got outside of the bed and I opened the door, I walked to the exit and while I was walking I was being watched by everyone, their looks where a few mix of horror and confusion, I just shrugged it off and kept on walking. "What is that thing?" I heard someone ask. "It looks like a Minotaur but it doesn't have any horns." Another one replied. As I was walking I heard more and more ponies talking about me being a monster or a hairless Minotaur. After a minute or two I arrived at the exit and I saw Princess Celestia, Twilight and five other ponies, one of them was Fluttershy, there where two others that I recognized, one of them was a cyan pegasi, she had a bandage wrapped around one of her wings, the other was that other pony I saved during the raid. I wanted to walk up to Celestia, but I was stopped by a pink blur, I was pinned down on the ground, when I opened my eyes I saw a pony a pink pony standing on my chest. "Hellomynameispinkiepiewhatareyouandwhereareyoufromareyouanewponybecauseifyouareiwillgiveyouawelcometoponyvillepartand-" "Pinkie! I don't think that Raiden appreciates it that you are sitting on his lap." Twilight said. The pony (Pinkie if I heard it correct) stopped talking and looked at me with a huge smile and jumped off me and in a split second she was back with the other seven. "W-What just happened? What was that?" I asked confused. "That was just Pinkie being Pinkie Pie." Twilight replied. "Ok, but how did she?" I asked but was cut off by Twilight saying that I should just "ignore it", I simply nodded in response and got back up on my feet. "What in tarnation is that thang Twilight?" The orange pony asked. She had a Southern accent and she wore a cowboy hat. "Well girls let me be the first one to introduce you to Raiden, he's a extraterrestrial, a Human from another planet Called Earth to be correct." Twilight said. "So he's a alien?" The cyan pony asked. "Well yes he is." Twilight replied. I could hear her mumble something about awesome and pranks, but I simply ignored it. "Well girls why don't you introduce yourself." Twilight said. Suddenly that pink pony was back and she was floating in front of my face. "The hell? How is she able to do that? She doesn't even have wings." I thought. "Hellomynameispinkiepiewhatsyours?" She asked. "Uhm could you repeat that but this time slow." I asked. "Ok silly, I said my name is Pinkie Pie, what's yours?" She asked. "My name is Raiden." I replied. Wait didn't Twilight already told them my name like four seconds ago? "Ok hello Raiden, I'm going to throw you the biggest welcome to Ponyville party ever!" She replied bouncing up and down. "Ok sure, uhm but you don't have to you know." I replied. "Of course I do you silly filly, everypony deserves a party." She replied with much joy. After that she walked bounced back to the group. Suddenly a white unicorn with a purple mane and a cutie mark of three diamonds on her flank walked up to me and started walking circles around me. "Uhm excuse me but what are you doing?" I asked. She stopped walking and looked up at me. "Well darling I must say your sense of fashion is......Different, I mean why black? Why not something more colorful like blue or orange." She asked. "Well I don't know, I didn't design this armor." I replied. "Well darling you must let me design new clothes for you." She replied. "Ehm no thanks I'm good with these." I replied. "Well if you say so, but I'm not giving up I will design new clothes for you no matter how long it takes me to convince you." She replied. "Ok?" I said. "Oh I almost forgot, my name is Rarity and I run the Carousel Boutique in Ponyville, feel free to visit me if you ever change your mind about that armor of yours." Rarity said. "Damn this one is really into fashion." I thought. Rarity just looked at me for a few seconds and then walked back to the group. The next one to walk up to me was the cyan pony or pegasi or you know what I'm just gonna call her a blue pony, there I said it. She looked at me and well......She just kept looking at me, after a few seconds of constant staring I decided to break the silence. "How's that wing of yours?" I asked. That appeared to snap her out of her trance, she blinked a few times before she spoke up. "Huh? Oh yeah my wing's good but I won't be able to fly for two weeks, but never mind that, my name is Rainbow Dash fastest flyer in all of Equestria!" She said with much confidence. "Well it's nice to meet your Rainbow Dash." I replied. "It's nice to meet you too, oh and thanks for saving our flanks back in Ponyville." She replied. I simply nodded and with a simple "don't mention it". "But how did you do it? I mean there were like twenty Diamond Dogs." She asked. "Well when you’re trained to kill you tend to earn a few skills." I thought. "I got lucky." I replied. "Really? No I don't believe you now answer my question honest, how did you do it?" She asked. I sighed and decided that it would be for the best to be honest with these girls. "I cut them to pieces by using my high frequency blade and the skills I earned by intense training and before you ask, a high frequency blade is basically a sword that can cut through literally anything." I replied. "Wow can I see it?" She asked. "See what my sword?" I asked. "Yeah I wanna see if that sword can cut to literally anything." She said. "Well Rainbow Dash, I would love to but you see I said while pointing to my back I don’t have my sword at the moment" I replied.. "That is correct Raiden, I ordered my guards to retrieve your weapons and put them away in a safe location." Celestia said. "You did what!?" I shouted startling all the ponies. "I had my guards retrieve your weapons and bring them to a safe location, I did not know if you were going to attack me again so I had to be sure you where unarmed when me and my sister decided to talk to you." Celestia replied. "Nobody and I mean NOBODY touches my sword got it?" I said with a stern expression. "Raiden you will get your weapons back eventually but for now please calm down and let the others properly introduce their selves." Celestia replied. "Fine then, but I expect to get my weapons back when I’m going to return to my world." I said. "Yes about you returning t your world, that is something we need to talk about as well." Celestia said. "And why is that?" I asked. "I will tell you all of that once we arrive in Canterlot." Celestia replied. "Alright fine then." I replied. After the whole scene the orange pony with the cowboy hat came towards me. "Howdy partner names Applejack, I’ve never seen anythin like you before, but just as Dashie I’m grateful for what ya did for us partner you saved our flanks so we owe ya." Apllejack said. "Thanks but you don’t owe me anything I was just doing what I thought was right." I replied. "Well luckily for us you chose right." Applejack replied. I simply nodded and gave her a smile. After that the pony (I think her name was Fluttershy walked up to me). "H-Hello m-my n-name is Fluttershy." She said. "Yes I believe we already met right?" I asked. She responded with a simple nod. I went down on my knees and held out my hand as a apology for the little forest incident but it seemed to only scare her because the only thing I got in respond was a *eek*. Fluttershy went back to the rest of the group and stood there hiding behind her mane. "Well now that everypony has been properly introduced I believe it is time for us to depart for Canterlot." Celestia said. The others responded with a "Yes Princess Celestia!",( for some reason they said it In union) and they all went outside. Raiden follow me please. Celestia said. I nodded and followed the princess outside, only to be met with a large crowd standing in front of the hospital. "The hell?" I thought. "Ooh look there it is." I heard someone say. "What is it? Is it dangerous.?" Another asked. "Hey out of the way I can’t see it." Another said. I looked around and it looked like the whole town was gathered around the hospital. I was blinded by camera flashes and the only thing I thought was. "How the hell did they know I was here? I mean if a extraterrestrial was found on Earth they would have probably locked it away in a secret government base or something." I thought. Then out of nowhere Three chariots, yeah you heard me right chariots landed in the in front of the crowd, a few guards stepped out and one of them started speaking to the crowd. "Everypony please return to what you were doing, this is official Canterlot business!" The guard said. The ponies stood there for a few more seconds before doing as they were told and returned to what they were doing. "Your majesty we have arrived with the chariots as we were ordered, we will depart whenever you want." The gueard said. "Thank you, we will depart for Canterlot immediately." The princess said. "Right away your majesty." The guard replied. "Raiden you and I will be sharing a chariot, I have some things do discuss with you." Celestia said. "Alright then princess lead the way." I replied. And with that said I stepped into the chariot and we lifted off and our destination was….Canterlot. Meanwhile in an unknown location. "Your majesty." "Yes my Changeling what is it?" "We found something just outside of the hive." "Yes and why is that of any concern to me?" "Because the thing we found told us he wanted to speak with you." "And what did this thing looked like, did it have a name?" "It looked like a hairless ape and he said his name was Armstrong." ..................................................
CanterlotRaiden POV: Remember when I said that Celestia warmed up to me? Well now I'm doubting that, at first I thought she was a nice and caring princess but I was wrong, when she lifted me up with that magic I could feel my body getting crushed, luckily for me my body is not like that of a normal human, nope I'm almost one hundred percent cyborg, the only body parts that are still my own and not artificial are: my spine, skull and upper jaw, the rest are all artificial body parts. Well the flight to Canterlot was......Different to say at least, instead of being in a plane or in a fighter jet, I found myself in a chariot, the chariot was a decent size, but I nearly fitted in this damn thing, two pegasi pulled the chariot. I was impressed to say the least, I mean sure the other two chariots were being pulled by two pegasi as well but in those there were just the six other ponies, but in mine there was Celestia who was taller than any of these ponies and myself, I wondered how those two were able to even lift this thing off the ground. But enough of that, while I was in the chariot Celestia told me a few things about the other six ponies, they were apparently known as the Elements of Harmony, Pinkie Pie being the element of Laughter, Fluttershy being the element of Kindness, Applejack being the element of Honesty, Rainbow Dash being the element of Loyalty, Rarity being the element of Generosity and finally Twilight the element of Magic. She also told me that they defeated Nightmare Moon who was apparently Luna's dark-side, they alto defeated someone named Discord and they defeated a certain Queen of the changelings, whatever a changeling is supposed to be. I also explained to her that I was not a normal human being but a cyborg, at first she had no idea what a cyborg was but after I explained that cyborg was like a human but more powerful and where mostly used for war she asked me, "Why would you choose to live like a cyborg if you are only used for war, how can you live such a life?", I simply replied with "I didn't choose this life". She looked at me with a confused expression before she said something that I would never had expected (considering our latest conversation). "So you where forced? Why?" Celestia asked. "Listen princess there are some parts of my past that I would like to forget, so please I would appreciate if we could drop this subject." I replied while looked at the sky, I have to say this land is pretty beautiful it's, peaceful much different than Earth, speaking of Earth, what happened when I fell through that portal? I can only hope that Armstrong didn't become president or else the world we know will be going to shit. "Raiden are you thinking off your home?" Celestia asked. Well yes you see a lot off bad shit happened back on Earth and I sure hope that me being here in Equestria the world won't go to shit. I said. She looked at me with a concerned expression. "What exactly happened on your world and to be precise what happened to you?" Celestia asked. I decided that I would explain a little bit about myself, so the only thing I told her that I became a cyborg because of the *Patriots machinations*, of course Celestia didn't know what the Patriots were, after explaining the whole complicated story of the Patriots and explaining her about The Ai's GW,JD etc and what Ai's where and what they did during my war against the Patriots, she was shocked to say the least. "So much war and death, how can you live in a world like that, how can you live knowing you took someponies life, why would you make those Ai's if they where only used to hurt others?" Celestia asked. "Listen I told you everything I wanted to tell so please stop asking questions about my past, all I can say to you that I was fighting a senator who wanted to elected as president so he could start war as a business and end it like a business." I replied. "Are all Humans the same, do they only care to hurt each other and bring each other pain and misery?" Celestia asked. "While there are bad there are also good, it's true that Humans fight and kill each other, but the good people on my world only fight and kill to protect their home, country and the ones they love." I replied. "Ok if you say so, but what are you?" Celestia asked. "What do you mean?" I asked. "I mean are you good or are you bad?" Celestia asked. "I fight protect the weak and if I have to kill to do so.....So be it." I replied. "That is good to hear Raiden, I was wrong about you, you are good pon- erm Human I am truly sorry for what I did to you before, but you must understand I only did it because I wanted to protect my subjects, you see Raiden I am immortal and I am over five thousand years old, I have seen many of my subjects grow up and eventually......Die." She said while tears started to form in her eyes. I could see this was making her sad, I didn't know what to do, so after a few more seconds I just did what I thought was right, I put my arm around her and patted her on her back. "Hey you don't have to talk about this we can just drop this subject and talk about something else." I said in a comforting matter. She looked at my arm and than at me, I thought she was going to blast me with magic, but instead she gave me a warm smile. "Thank you Raiden sometimes I can get a little emotional from time to time." She replied while wiping away her tears. "Don't mention it and don't worry being immortal does mean that you will live forever and see things that others cannot and unfortunately you will see others die while you will live on. But it also means that you get to see all of your subjects grow up and see them live their life and hey if your immortal that means that your sister is immortal as well right? So that means you are never alone." I said. I think that did the trick, Celestia seemed to cheer up and gave me a warm smile and a warm "Thank you Raiden that was really sweet of you". I simply waved at her and said " Don't mention it Celestia, everyone needs to let their emotions out from time to time". She smiled and nodded in response. "Canterlot ho!" One of the guards shouted. I looked away from Celestia and what I saw could not be described with words, the only ting I could say was "Beautiful". Celestia giggled at my reaction. "I assume you like the view?" She asked. "Well I have to say princess I never thought it would be this big." I replied. "Don't they have castles on your world?" Celestia asked. "Well yes we do but none of them are like that." I said while pointing at the castle. "Wow it seems that our worlds have at least two things in common." Celestia said. Two? I asked. Yes castles and..........War. "You mean you are in a war as well?" I asked. "Well yes we have had some wars, but that was a long time ago." Celestia replied. "Ok, wow I never expected that, I mean this world looks so peaceful at least from what I've seen." I replied. "Yes but unfortunately there are some ponies who think different, but how about your world, how many wars has your world have?" Celestia asked. "Too many." I replied "Oh my.......And in how many wars have you fought in." Celestia asked. "Too many." I replied. There was a silence until Celestia spoke up. "Well Raiden let's forget about the whole war talk and talk about something else shall we?" Celestia said. "Sure go ahead." I replied. "Well than Raiden do you have a family on Earth?" Celestia asked. "Damnit, why god why! I don't want to talk about this subject I don't want to talk about Rose and Little..........John." I thought while looking at the sky. "Raiden hello are you alright?" Celestia asked. "Wha-What? Oh yeah I'm fine, what was the question again?" I asked. "Do you have a family on Earth?" Celestia asked for the second time. "Should I tell her?" I thought. "Celestia......Promise me you keep this to yourself ok?" I said. "Yes off course Raiden." She replied. "I had a family, a beautiful wife and a wonderful son." I replied. " Well that's wonderful but had? What do you mean by that?" She asked. "War has its costs......It caused me my son.......And eventually........My wife." I replied with a saddened tone. "I-I-I-I'm so sorry to hear that.........You must have had it hard." She replied with a saddened tone. "Lady you don't even know the half of it, if you only knew what happened in my past......But I'm not telling you that......Not until I can trust you with that kind of information." I thought. "Raiden.....Know that if you ever need to talk to somepony, you can talk to me." Celestia said with a smile. "Thanks but I already talked with someone about it." I replied. "Really, if I may ask who?" Celestia asked. "The one and only Solid Snake!" I replied. "Who?" She asked. "Ehm sorry, a really good friend he's a hero on my planet, but he doesn't see himself as one, he always says that he was just a old killer hired to clean up the wet work." I replied. "Oh but if he is a hero as you say he is, than he must have quite the life." She replied. "No he hasn't, he had a hard life......Harder than mine, the only thing he knew was war, he lived his entire life fighting he could never get away from it." I said. I looked at Celestia and I could see that my story was making her sad again. "You said that he had a hard life, with had do you mean he's....." I quickly cut her off. "No, he's not dead he's just.......Retired." I said. "Snake.....What you told me........About the graveyard, that Big Boss came to you and he made......Peace with you....... He died by your side.......Your father.......You had a hard life Snake, but remember that people will respect you for what you did, when Foxdie didn't kill you and your accelerated aging still continuing you still inspired me and others to live their Life.............Snake.........Thank you."I thought. "Raiden are you alright?" Celestia asked. "Yeah......I'm fine." I replied. "No you are not fine, I can see it in your eyes, whoever Snake was he was a great influence on your life, you said he was retired so why don't you visit him when you get back to your wo-." Celestia said but didn't finish her sentence. "Yes, go on." I said. "Raiden remember what I told you in the hospital, about returning to your world." Celestia said. "Yes, why?" I asked. "Well I'm not sure if you are going to be able to return to your world." Celestia replied. "What!?" I shouted. "Raiden like I said before it is a mystery to me as well as to how you arrived here." Celestia said. "So what! I'm not just going to accept the fact that I'm not going to be able to return to Earth, we can at least try to solve this mystery." I replied. "*Sigh* Raiden I will do everything in my power to help you return to your world, but I cannot promise you that we will be able to get you back to your world, do you understand?" Celestia asked "Yes I do, at least than I know we at least tried." I replied. "Good but for now just try and relax, once our conversation is over you will get some time for yourself to do whatever you want, does that sound good for you?" Celestia asked. "Yeah I guess, but I'll need to get some time alone as well and I wish not to be disturbed." I replied. "Understood now please sit down, I believe we are going to land." Celestia said. "Whatever you say princess." I replied. As soon as I sat down we started to slow down and started to land, the landing went smooth, after that everyone stepped outside of their chariot and started walking towards us. "Hello Twilight Sparkle was your flight comfortable?" Celestia asked. "Yes princess it was, how was your flight Raiden?" Twilight asked. "It was good but slow." I replied. "Slow what do you mean by that?" Twilight asked. "Well the flights I'm used to are usually very fast." I replied. "What do you mean, you don't have any wings, how can you fly without them." Asked a very confused Twilight,. "Well we Humans can't naturally fly, so we made machines who did all the flying for us, we call them Airplanes." I replied. "Wow so you build machines that can fly, wow I wonder what you Humans made more oh I just can't wait untill we arrive in the castle and I get to ask you questions about your race!" Twilight said with much enthusiasm. "Yeah right, well id be happy to tell you all about it.......Twi." I said that last part with a smirk. Twilight blushed or so it looked like it when I called her by the little nickname I gave her. "Y-Yeah, hehe sorry about that, sometimes I can get a little carried away." Twilight said. "That's alright Twilight, I mean it's not everyday you get to meet a alien." I replied. "Well Twilight you can get carried away over a lot off things." Rainbow Dash said. "Ah come on give tha girl a rest will ya, don't tell me that you're not a little exited about hearin Raiden’s story. "Applejack intertwined. "Oh come on girls let's get inside so we can get this all over with, because I still have to throw Raiden his welcome to Equestria party!" Pinkie said. "Pinkie weren't you going to give him a welcome to Ponyville party?" Rarity asked. "Oh yeah I almost forgot about that, you know what I'll just throw him two parties yay!" Pinkie said with much enthusiasm. "She's just kidding.......Right?" I whispered to Rainbow Dash who stood beside me, I almost forgot to bend down to ask her, I was taller than any of these ponies, the normal ponies like Twilight and Rainbow Dash came up to my abdomen while princess Celestia was almost as tall as me not counting her horn off course. "Trust me Raiden when Pinkie says she gonna throw you a party, she's gonna throw you a party whether you like it or not. "Rainbow Dash replied. "Well everypony let us not wait any longer, please gather around me."Celestia said. Everyone did as they where told and gathered around me and the princess. "Alright everpony get ready." Celestia said. "Ready for what?" I asked. "You'll see." Celestia said. After she said that, her horn started to glow and all of a sudden everything went black for a few seconds, suddenly we were not in front of Canterlot, no we were in some kind of big throne room, the room was very bright and at the end of the room where two thrones, one was big and it had a symbol of the sun, the other was smaller and had a crescent moon on it. "What just happened? And why do I feel like my stomach has been turned inside out." I asked. "Well if you’re not used to teleportation than the after effects can kick in, one of them feeling like you're going to throw up. "Twilight said. You aren't going to throw up are you?" Asked Rarity. "No no I've been through worse, but princess-" "Celestia." Celestia said while she cut me off. "Right Celestia if I may ask why didn't you use teleportation in the first place, that would have saved us a lot of time." I said. "Yes I could have done that, but then you wouldn't see the beauty off Equestria." Celestia replied. Right, well I guess we better start the questioning right." I asked. "Yes but before that I need you to do something for me Raiden." Said Celestia. "What?" I asked. "I need you to go and talk to Luna she is really scared of you you know, ever since she entered your dreams she is really shaken up, just go and talk to her please."Celestia said, but this time she talked to me but I was the only one who seemed to hear her, "What the hell?" I thought. What was I supposed to do just think my answer? Ah to hell with it, "Alright Celestia I'll talk to her but I think that it's not the best idea if she's really that scared of me than shouldn't I wait until she wants to talk to me?" I asked. "Please Raiden I know it sounds crazy but please Luna wouldn't even talk to me but I think that if you just say you’re sorry and tell her that you won't hurt her than maybe I'll get her to talk about what happened, so please just talk to her." Celestia said, or thought in this case. "Alright than I'll do it, but don't expect any good results, but how am I supposed to get to her I mean I can’t just go and say I'm gonna talk to your princess because I somehow scared the shit out of her. You know what? I'll just tell everyone that I need to go to the toilet or something." I replied. ?Mockingly. "I think that will do it just try and make the talk as quickly as possible, thank you Raiden this means a lot." She replied. "Damn this is some weird shit, I mean the mind-talks and that just fucking weird." I thought. "You know I can still hear you right?" Celestia said. I simply looked at her and she gave me a playful look. "Ehm excuse me for asking but could I use your toilet please?" I asked. "Sure Raiden, one of my guards will escort you." Celestia replied. "Don't worry Raiden, this guard knows of my intentions I already told him to take you to Luna's room." Celestia replied by using her telekinesis magic......Yeah I'm calling it telekinesis magic so what? "Alright I'll try my best, but I can't make any promises alright." I replied Celestia simply nodded in response and called her guard. After that, the guard and me walked towards the exit of the throne room and then walked to Luna's room. "How the hell am I supposed to talk to Luna about what happened if I don't even know what happened." I thought. After a few more minutes of walking and no talking we arrived at Luna's room. The guard turned and looked at me. "We have arrived at her majesty's chambers, I will be waiting outside if you need something, but try anything funny creature and I shall not hesitate to take action." The guard said. "Yeah yeah, I get it let's just get this over with." I replied. The guard nodded and stood at his place. I opened the door and went inside. I closed the door afterwards and I took a look around the room, the room was dark and there wash a giant bed in the middle, from what I could see the walls where painted dark blue, I was quite amazed as to how big this room was. "Well now I only need to find Luna." I thought I suddenly heard some light snoring and mumbling, I looked towards the noise was coming and I saw Luna sleeping in her bed. "Well shit, now how am I going to get to talk to her when she's fast asleep?" I thought. I thought of what would happen if just woke her up, but my thinking was unnecessary, I suddenly heard Luna scream and she awoke, sweat covering her forehead. "Ahh it was just a dream." She said. "Ehm hey Luna......Surprise?" I said. Meanwhile attention a unknown location............. "Well at first I didn't quite believe you senator, but after hearing your story I think we might be able to help each other." Chrysalis said. "I hope for your sake that you can help me return to my world and in return I'll help you with your fucking pony problem." Armstrong said. "Excellent well than let us begin to think of a strategy." Chrysalis replied. "Whatever you say you almighty queen." Armstrong replied mockingly.
The Senator has arrivedArmstrong POV: "The fuck just happened; first I'm fighting Jack and the next thing I know he's gone". I thought. I decided that I would keep my guard up just in case Jack tries something funny, I'll fucking break him in two and once he's out of the way I'll still be able to execute my plan. I lit up a cigar just for the nice feeling of nicotine and all the other shitty things that'll supposedly kill you. "God bless America for these death sticks". I thought. "I wonder how long it'll take me to finally get elected, with Jack gone nothing will stand in my way". I thought. Suddenly the Metal Gear Excelsus started shaking and a big explosion followed, I was sent flying and suddenly that same thing that appeared underneath Jack appeared underneath me as well. "The fuck is this shit? I'm not gonna get sucked in that thing I'm"- But it was too late I got sucked into that fucking thing and everything went black, the only thing I could think was fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Ten minutes later near the changeling hive....... I awoke with a slight headache. "Damn what the fuck happened?” I thought. I got up and took a look at my surroundings, everything was colorful, I appeared to be near a forest. "Fucking great if there's one woman I don't like it's that bitch Mother Nature". I thought. I was interrupted from my thoughts by two unfamiliar voices. "Why does the Queen make us guard the hive, I mean it's not like someling has ever noticed the hive in the first place and if they did, they would think twice before trying to attack let alone even get near the hive". One said. "I guess you're right but ever since the failed attack on Canterlot the queen has been acting differently and there is the fact that we're running low on love as well, I kinda feel bad for the queen, knowing that your subjects are starving and there's nothing you can do about it". The other replied. "I guess butt still why let us guard the hive?” The other asked. "You just don't like morning-shifts". The other replied. "What the fuck are they talking about it? Queen? Hive? What are they some kind of insect-lovers? Let’s get a better view of what I'm dealing with". I thought. ''CRACK''. "Fuck you've gotta be kidding me, seriously why did there have to be a branch in front of me". I thought. "Did you hear that?” One asked. "You heard nothing you little shit". I thought. I quickly ran into the forest and hid behind a nearby tree, I know what you’re thinking why would I senator Steven Armstrong hide? Well let’s just say that for some reason I was feeling very weak, like all my power was drained from my body, it appeared that the Nanomachines in my body stopped reacting, you know when my skin was hardened and I could easily block all of Jack’s attacks, I was now just like a normal human being, because there was no form of power I would not be able to power up my nanomachines to the point where I could easily block anything, but still I could still pack a punch without em. I sat there considering what my best options would be. "Maybe I should just say hello, come on they speak English so I guess I’m in a part of The States or something or maybe their part of another military group". I thought. "Come on let’s check it out". The other said. "Are you sure that’s a good idea? It was probably our imagination". The other replied. "That’s right I’m just a figment of your imagination". I thought. Don’t get me wrong, I could easily just take these two guys out with my bare fucking hands but I need to find out where I was, should I go and ask for help and make peace with them? Nah that’s not gonna happen I’m not a goddamn hippie. I was interrupted from my thoughts as I heard the voices coming closer. "I’m not sure if that’s a good idea". One said. "Come on; are you scared of the big bad monster?”The other replied mockingly. "Buck you". The other replied. Shit these guys are closing in, well looks like I have to act as the nice senator again…..Which I fucking hate to do. I decided to just go to those two guys and ask if they could help me, surely they know who I am…..Right? I walked out of my little hiding spot and two the two guys who were talking, when I got closer I saw something that I couldn’t comprehend, there were two…..Things standing in front of me, they were black, they appeared to walk on four legs and they had wings and horns!? "What the fuck kind of drugs am I on?” I thought. "W-W-W-What i-i-is that thing?” The one on the right asked. I "don’t know Bolt, what the buck do we do?” The on the left asked "What the fuck are you?” I asked. "It t-talks". The one on the left said. "I-I-I-I---". The one on the right stuttered. "Ughh what the fuck am I supposed to do now? Talk those these things? “I thought. "Quit shivering and answer the goddamn questions I’m about to ask". I said in a sharp tone. They both stopped shivering and looked at me, I swear if these two had pants they would have crapped themselves twice. "Let’s start with an easy one, what are your names?” I asked. "M-My n-name is Bolt". The one on the right replied. "A-And m-my n-name is W-Wingbreaker". The one on the left replied. "The fuck kind of names is that?” I thought. "Alright than, my name is Steven Armstrong but you can address me as Senator Armstrong or sir, you got that?” I asked. They both nodded furiously, probably because they were scared shitless. "Alright now tell me what the fuck are you?” I asked. "Were c-changelings, if I may ask what are you?” Wingbreaker asked. "Changelings? What the fuck, I would just call em Mother Nature’s trash but whatever. " I thought. "I’m a human, homo-sapien to be precise". I replied. You might be thinking, why am I not super confused by this, well it’s because I simply don’t give a shit, I just wanna go back to where I came from and get elected for president and finally achieve my goal. "Next question where the fuck am I?” I asked. "You’re in Equestria where did y-you think you are?” Bolt replied "In what part of Earth is Equestria?” I asked. "Earth? No you’re not on this Earth I mean you are standing on Earth but no you’re on the planet Equus". Bolt replied. "What the fuck are you talking about are you saying that I’m on a different planet!?” I asked getting angry. "Y-Yes, well I don’t know, I mean I’ve never seen anything like you before so I simply don’t know but I think I know someling who does". Wingbreaker replied. "Who?” I asked "Our queen Chrysalis, she might know how you got here". Wingbreaker replied. "Take me to her than"! I said. "W-What we can’t possibly take you to our queen, who knows what you might do to her". Bolt said. "You better take me to her before I go and find her for myself". I growled. "Psst Bolt". Wingbreaker whispered. "What?” Bolt replied. "What if I go and get the queen and you stay here and keep the human busy". Wingbreaker said. "Wait what!? Why do i have to keep him busy? “Bolt replied "Because I can fly faster than you". Wingbreaker replied. "You know I can still hear you right?” I asked. They both flinched and looked at me. "Ehm if you don’t mind sir I will go and get our queen, she would be happy to speak with you". Wingbreaker said "Yeah whatever just make sure I don’t have to wait long". I replied. "Alright I’ll be back in a minute". Wingbreaker replied. With that said Wingbreaker took off and flew away, leaving me with Bolt. "The fuck are you looking at?” I asked. "N-Nothing". Bolt replied. I waited for the queen to arrive, while I was waiting Bolt bombarded me with questions like" What are you or Are all Humans as big as you? “I hated it, what I wouldn’t do to pick this little shit up, break his horn of and shove it up his ass…..But I needed to get out of here, wherever here was. "Oh look over there; it’s the queen and Wingbreaker". Bolt said. I looked towards where Bolt pointed and I saw something I wish I never saw. I saw a big fucking changeling, with dark green hair with a mix of blue; she had holes in her legs just like Bolts and she had wings, big fucking wings. After a few seconds the queen and Wingbreaker landed in front of me, I was eying the queen and she was doing the same to me. "What in Faust’s name are you?” She asked. "I could ask you the same thing but I think I already know". I said. "Well my name is queen Chrysalis and what is your name creature?” Chrysalis asked. "The name’s Armstrong, Steven Armstrong". I replied. "Well than mister Armstrong I believe my changelings also told you that I am their queen". Chrysalis said. "Yes they did". I replied. "Well?” She asked. "Well what?” I replied. "Aren’t you going to bow for me?” Chrysalis asked. "Why should I, you’re not my royalty so just fuck the formalities and let’s get down to business". I replied. "How dare you! I shall make you regret those words". Chrysalis shouted. "What are you gonna do missy? Poke my eye out? “I asked. "I'll burn you to a pile of ashes". Chrysalis replied. "Bring it"! I replied. Silence fell and we both eyed each other, Chrysalis was the first to break the silence and she shot a green bolt at me, the bolt hit me but it didn’t hurt, no it felt good really good, it was like all my power was coming back! "Is that the best you got? If so you have got to try harder". I replied mockingly. "I shall rip you apart". Chrysalis shouted. She shot four more bolts of what I assumed was some kind of energy at me, I simply let it hit me and I felt myself growing stronger and stronger. "What is it with you, why are you not down yet!?” Chrysalis asked clearly confused. "Come on girl hit me with your best shot"! I shouted. "My queen do you need help!?” Bolt shouted while a green aura started to cover his horn. "No he is mine stay back; I will use all of my power on him"! Chrysalis replied. "As you wish my queen". Bolt replied nervously. "You will not see the end of this day"! Chrysalis shouted. "We’ll see about that". I replied with a smug grin. Chrysalis looked at me, a fire burning in her eyes, her horn started to glow and I could clearly see that she was powering up. "That’s it hit me with your most powerful shot, so that I can show you what nanomachies can do with a man like me. I thought. It was strange though, how was she able to power-up my nanomachies, normally only man-made machines would be able to do that, but does it even matter. Ha! This bitch doesn’t even know what’s gonna hit her. I thought. "This ends now"! Chrysalis shouted. "Come on"! I replid. After that she unleashed all the energy and hit me straight in the chest, a big explosion followed and I was sent flying backwards until I crashed into a tree, breaking it in half because of the amount of pressure of my impact. "My queen are you alright?” Bolt asked. "I am fine my changeling; see I told you this creature was no match for me and---AAAAAH"! A black hand hit Chrysalis in her stomach and sent her flying backwards. "Queen Chrysalis"! Wingbreaker shouted. "What happened what is………Oh no, how is this possible, what in sweet Faust’s name are you!?” Bolt asked terrified. I looked down at Bolt and started to laugh. "Hahahahahaha , that was your best shot? Ha my grandma hits harder than you and she’s been dead for four years! I replied laughing. "Wha-wha-what happened what is *Gasp* h-h-h-how are you still a-a-a-alive t-this i-is n-not possible". Chrysalis said. "Nanomachines girl"! I replied. "Wha?” Chrysalis asked. I walked towards Chrysalis only to be stopped by Bolt and Wingbreaker. "Don’t you dare hurt our queen"! They said in union. I simply picked them up by their horns and started squeezing them. "AAAAAAH"! They screamed. "You two messed with the wrong man, you’re lucky I’m in a good mood so I’m gonna give you another chance and that count for you to miss"! I said. I let go of their horns and they fell on the ground with a light *thud*. "Now can we talk business or what?” I asked. They all nodded. "Good now, take me to that hive of yours, I hope you have some food because I’m starving". I said. They all nodded again and got up. "Please follow u-us". Bolt said. I nodded and walked alongside them. "How long is this gonna take?” I asked. "Half an hour on hoof". Bolt replied still shaken about the whole thing. Fuck was the only thing that crossed my mind. Canterlot, eight hours later after Armstrong’s arrival………. Location: Luna’s chambers. Raiden POV: "Ehm surprise?” I said. Luna looked at me in horror before she started to scream in that loud voice again. "WHAT ARE THOU DOING IN OUR CHAMBERS?! GUARDS"! Luna screamed. Not a moment later the guard came rushing in. "You called your majesty!?” The guard asked. "YES WOULD THOU MIND TELLING US HOW THE HUMAN WAS ABLE TO SNEAK PAST THOU AND INTO OUR PRIVATE QUARTERS!?” Luna asked. "Princess t-the Human had permission to go into your chambers". The guard replied. "BY WHO!?” Luna asked. "By your sister". The guard replied. "Tia?” Luna asked, her voice becoming a normal volume again. "Y-Yes y-your m-majesty". The guard replied. "THAN I WILL SPEAK TO OUR SISTER ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW"! Luna said, turning on the volume again. "NO WAIT"! I shouted. Luna looked at me confused and blinked a few times before speaking up. "WHAT IS IT HUMAN!?” Luna asked. "First, lower the volume please and second your sister princess Celestia sent me here to talk to you, apparently she says that you are frightened of me, that I did something terrible to you". I said. Luna looked at me and then looked at the guard. "Is this true?” Luna asked. "Y-Yes y-your majesty". The guard replied. "Very well then, if my sister insists, guard please leave us, this is a private matter". Luna said. "Yes your majesty"! The guard replied. The guard did as he was told and left the room leaving a very confused me and a very frightened Luna in the room. "So……Nice room you got here". I said trying to lighten the mood. "Thank thee Raiden tis acceptable". She replied with shaken voice. I looked at Luna and I could see tears forming in her eyes. Suddenly she started sobbing and eventually crying. "Oh this is just great first I made princess Celestia cry and now Luna. This.Is.Just.Great". I thought. I decided to do the same thing I did to Celestia, so I wrapped my arm around her neck heck it worked with her so why wouldn’t it work with Luan, I hoped that she would calm down but instead she jumped away from me and accidently giving me an upper-cut. "Damnit why is it always the chin!?” I thought. "Oh my We are so sorry Raiden". She said while still crying. "It’s a-alright, Luna come here for a sec". I replied. She looked at me before standing walking over and standing front of me. "Listen Luna, I don’t know what happened to you but I’m terribly sorry if I hurt you, I didn’t mean to do that, I hope you can forgive me. Why won’t we start over again? “I asked. Luna looked at me for a few seconds and then started to cry again. "We*sob* w-were *sob* s-so *sob* scared". She said. Damn she was really scared, she couldn’t even carry her own weight because the next thing I know she broke down and fell on the ground with a *thud* before bawling her eyes out. I considered my options and I thought to myself, "What do I do know? Should I hug her again and risk another upper-cut or should I just let her cry and see if she gets any better? " "No, she needs someone and that someone is apparently me, here we go again with hugging royalty again". I thought. I gently picked her up and she laid her head over my shoulder I gave her a friendly hug and made small circles around her back, this was something that calmed Rose down as well when she was……………..No I can’t think of that now. I thought. Luna’s crying eventually changed in light sniffles and sobs. "Hey it’s alright I’m not gonna hurt you I promise". I said while comforting her. "*sob* does thou *sniffle* mean *sob* that?” Luna asked. "Yes I do, now why won’t we get up and talk a little bit?” I asked. I wanted to get up only to be pushed down by Luna. "Could we stay like this for a while, thou art very warm and our room is……Cold". She said while blushing, at least I thought she was blushing. "Ehmm, sure?” I said confused. I could not believe what was happening here I was, a cyborg, a killing machine, comforting a pony princess who I just met. Minutes pasted, well at least I hoped it were minutes because it felt like hours, don’t get me wrong I didn’t dislike hugging princess Luna, I mean she was surprisingly warm and her fur was very soft, well I my face was the only thing that could feel her fur because the rest of my body was covered in armor but still it was very warm and surprisingly comfortable. "Ehm Luna not to be rude but----". I was interrupted by a light snore and heavy breathing; it appeared that Luna the princess of the Night had fallen asleep in my arms. Well if I wouldn’t know any better I would think that I was in Beauty and the Beast………Me being the beast of course. I thought. I carefully picked her up and placed her I her bed, I pulled the covers over her and looked at her. There she was the princess of the Night, the one who was frightened of me (at least that’s what Celestia told me) sleeping peacefully in her bed. "Well I guess we’ll have to talk about what happened in my dream another time". I thought. I walked towards the door and opened it, I looked back in the room I smiled. "Sleep tight princess". I said I went outside and closed the door, I looked at the guard and he looked at me. "Didn’t you here all the commotion inside?” I asked. "What commotion? I didn’t hear a thing. " He replied confused. "Strange". I muttered. "Please follow me sir, princess Celestia requests your presence at once". The guard said. "Alright lead the way". I replied. And with that we walked towards the throne room and I could only think of one thing "Was it just me or was Luna blushing back there?”
The pastRaiden POV "Hey listen I think we got off the wrong foot, my name’s Raiden ad I’m not a creature I’m a Human, what’s your name? " I asked. "My name is Brightshine. " He replied. "Brightshine huh, cool name. " I replied. "Can I ask you something sir? " Brightshine asked. "Sure ask away. " I replied. "What did you mean with commotion sir? " Brightshine asked. "Well how do I explain this, ehm let’s just say Princess Luna needed somebody to talk to and apparently that somebody was me. " I replied. "Alright, thank you but one more question sir. " Brightshine said. "Sure. " I replied. "Why do you talk in such strange way? " Brightshine asked. "What do you mean? " I replied. "Well instead of saying anypony you say anybody and instead of saying somepony you said someone. " Brightshine replied. "Well I could ask you the same thing, I mean you use the word pony in some words when we would use the term body or one and even in town names, for example Ponyville. " I replied. "I guess you have a point there sir, so I can assume when you use the term somebody or someone you mean somepony right? " Brightshine asked. "Yep, but can I ask you something as well? " I asked. "What do you need to know sir? " Brightshine asked. "Is it true that Princess Celestia is over five thousand years old? " I asked. "Well yes, princess Celestia is over five thousand years old and Princess Luna is over one thousand years old. "Brightshine replied. "Wow, who would have thought that ponies could grow that old. " I replied. "Well the princesses are not normal ponies, they are Alicorns and they are immortal. " Brightshine replied. "Just how many species of ponies are there? " I asked. "Well Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza are the only Alicorns in Equestria, but in total there are four species of ponies: The Earth ponies, the Pegasi, the Unicorns and the Alicorns. " Brightshine replied. "Oh ok and Princess Celestia also told me that there are: Griffons, Minotaur’s and many other creatures here in Equestria, are all of these creatures sentient just like the ponies? " I asked. "Well yes Griffons and Minotaur’s are sentient species but we do have some species in Equestria that aren’t sentient. " Brightshine replied. "Wow now that’s something. " I replied. "What do you mean sir? " Brightshine asked. "Well on my planet Humans are the only sentient species. " I replied. Brightshine stopped in his tracks and just looked at me with his mouth wide open. "You better close it, you might catch flies if you keep it open. " I joked. He shook his head and we continued our walk to the throne room, damn I have to say this castle is really big and there are a lot of stairs. SO.MANY.STAIRS. "Well I have to say Mr. Raiden I never would have expected that your species arethe only sentient beings on your planet. " Brightshine said. "Please no Mr. Raiden or sir just Raiden will do and no it’s not really that strange I mean we humans have lived for thousands of years and we are still the only sentient being on our planet. " I replied. "Oh ok I understand si—err Raiden. " Brightshine replied. After a few more minutes of walking we finally arrived at the giant doors that led to the throne room. "Here we are Raiden, the princess will be waiting for you inside. " Brightshine said. "Thanks but aren’t you going to come in as well? " I asked. "I’m afraid not, I was only requested to lead you to Princess Luna’s chamber and then escort you to the throne room when you were finished. " Brightshine replied. "So I guess this is where we say goodbye. " I replied. "Yes it is. " Brightshine replied. I then bend down to meet him on eye-level and then held out my hand, it took him some seconds to figure out what I was doing but eventually he got the clue and he put his hoof in my hand, I grabbed his hand and gave him a handshake or hoof shake in this case. I then said my goodbyes and with that he left, I looked at the door and I just stood there. ‘What am I supposed to do, knock?’ I thought. ‘No Raiden I will simply open the door for you.’ A voice that sounded an awful lot like Celestia’s replied. ‘Celestia is that you?’ I said or thought in this case. ‘Yes it is me, have you forgotten my little mind-spell?’ She asked. ‘No you just startled me that’s all.’ I replied. ‘Alright then, please enter.’ She replied. ‘Ehm I would love to but----.’ I was cut off by the two doors opening and revealing the throne room in all its glory. I looked around and I saw Twilight and her friends standing beside Celestia, they all looked at me as if they wanted to know what was taking so long. "Welcome back Raiden, was our toilet suitable? " Celestia asked. I swear she was fucking with me, she had this smile on her face that just reminded me an awful lot of Kevin’s when he pulled a practical joke as he would call it on me. "Ehm yes it was. " I replied. "Well then let us continue where we left off, but before we start questioning you would you like to ask us something? " Celestia asked. I looked over to Twilight and I could see she wanted to bombard me with questions, her left eye appeared to be twitching and she was tipping her left hoof on the ground nervously. "No Celestia ask away. " I replied. Before Celestia could even open her mouth Twilight literally jumped in front of me and started bombarding me with questions. "Inwhatsolarsystemisearthandhowmanyofyourkindexistonyourplanetandhowdidyouloseyourlefteyeand-----. " I put my hand in front of her mouth and I simply said "Twilight please calm down and ask me one question at a time. " She simply gave me a awkward smile and started to calm down. "Sorry about that Raiden but there is just so much I want to ask you. " Twilight replied. I bed over and whispered something in Twilights ear. "Listen Twilight If you have so many questions for me you can ask them after this, I don’t mean you can’t ask questions now but if you have so many just wait until this little interrogation is over alright. " She simply looked at me before giving me a warm smile and a nod of approval. I got back up and looked at Celestia. "Why won’t you go first. " I said. "No thank you I have got to know a little bit about you already, so please my faithful student ask away. " Celestia replied. "Thank you Princess, now first question: How many of your kind are there on your planet? " Twilight asked. "Well last time I checked around seven billion. " I replied. Twilight just stood there mouth agape at what I just said. "Seven b-billion!? " She said. "Yep, now on to the next one. " I said while pointing to Rarity. "Darling I must know who designed your outfit? " Rarity asked. "Well his name is Wilhelm Voigt but I just call him Doktor. " I replied. "Wait you are saying a doctor? a doctor!? Designed you outfit!? " Rarity asked absolutely confused. "Well…..Yes but he’s not the kind of doctor he is an engineer, he specializes in cybernetic enhancements and cyborg enhancements, he’s not really the one who is in to fashion. " I replied. "Well if I ever come across this Doktor I will teach him one or two thing about fashion. " Rarity replied. I just chuckled at an image that crossed my mind; I could already see Rarity constantly telling the Doktor to add more colors to his armor design and the Doktor just keeping his ears shut. I looked at Rarity and I saw she was finished with her little speech. "Alright my turn my turn! " Pinkie said. "Alright Pinkie ask away. " I said. I have to say these ponies where really nice towards me, well except for Rainbow Dash, because she would sometimes give me an angry look whenever I looked at her. "What are those two things on the side of your face? " Pinkie asked. "What these? " I said while pointing to my visors. "Yes! " Pinkie replied. "Well these are called visors and I activate them whenever I get sent in to combat. " I replied. "What do they do? " Pinkie asked. "Well they give me a better view of the area and I can zoom in and out with them. " I replied. "Zoom in and out? " Asked a very confused Pinkie. "Well you see when I activate them. " I said while activating my visors and as they quickly covered my face. All of the ponies gasped as my visors covered my face, I then felt something pulling my visors, I opened my eyes and I could see Pinkie biting my visors. "Pinkie what are you doing? " I asked. "These things are trying to eat your face! " Pinkie replied. "Pinkie these things are my visors, here let me show you. " I replied. I then gently grabbed Pinkie and put her down on the ground, I then de-activated my visors and the ponies gasped once again. "Y-Y-You’re face it’s ok!? But how it that thing it--." "Pinkie. " I cut her off "These things are my visors and they did not eat my face, this is just how they work, they cover my face and then I can do all that zoom in and zoom out stuff and many other things. " I said. "Ooh ooh can I try them on!? " Pinkie asked "Well Pinkie see there’s the problem I can’t take these things of, well not without breaking them off and I would do that I couldn’t do all that zoom in and zoom out stuff anymore. " I replied. "Ahww and I really wanted to try them. " Pinkie said in a with a down voice. "Well Pinkie there are some other thing I can show you. " I said. I then activated the codec and a small hologram appeared . All of the ponies looked at the hologram in awe and Twilight was the first one to try and touch it, of course her hoof went right through it. "Wow this is amazing what is this Raiden? " Twilight asked. "This" I said while pointing at the codec" is called codec, it is used to contact other people, well you can only contact the people Of who you know the frequency of. " Replied. "Frequency? " Asked Twilight. "Yes you can basically see it as numbers if you have the numbers of another person and you know them you can call them, do you understand where I’m going with this? " I asked. "Kind of but still just wow this is some kind of magic I have never seen in my life! " Twilight replied. "Like I said before Twilight we Humans don’t have magic, we have lived without it for over thousands of years. " I replied. "But if you don’t have magic who controls the weather on your planet? "Asked Rainbow Dash. "We don’t, nature controls itself. " I replied. All of the ponies gasped at this information. "S-S-S-So your world i-is l-like t-the Evertree Forest? " Asked Fluttershy. "Well if in the Evertree Forest nature controls itself than yes it is. " I replied. "How can ya live in such a world? " Asked Applejack. "Well while we Humans don’t have any magic we have some other things that we are good in. " I replied. "Like what? " Asked Applejack. "We have the ability of innovation which means we humans have evolved over the thousands of years and we have achieved many thing, one of them being space travel although the furthest we have been to space was our own moon. " I replied. "Y-You’ve been into space!? " Asked twilight. "Yes we have been to space. " I replied. "Wow that’s so super duper cool! " Said Pinkie. "Well thank you Pinkie but let’s move on to the next question. " I said. "Alright ma turn, I’ve been wanting to ask you since the first time I laid eyes on you. " Said Applejack. "And that is? " I asked. "Why are you wearin a eye patch? " Asked Applejack. ‘Alright that’s it!’ I thought. "If I may ask something, what is it with you damn ponies and my missing eye!? " I asked getting annoyed. "Well it's just that it does tend to get noticed ya know. " Applejack replied. "Well let's just say that I did something stupid and it cost me my eye. " I replied. "What kind of stupid thing did you do then? " Asked Rarity. "It's.......Complicated. " I replied. "That's what thou said to Us before come on Raiden it can't be that bad. " Said someone. I looked to where the voice was coming and I was kind of surprised to see who it was, it was Princess Luna fully awake. "Luna I didn't know you were awake. " Said Celestia. "We could not sleep so We decided to come to Raiden’s questioning. " Luna replied. Luna looked at me for a few second before quickly looking away. "Alright so who's next? " I asked. "Hold on a second ya didn't answer ma question. " Applejack intertwined. *sigh* "You really won't stop asking unless I tell you right? " I asked. They all nodded in union. "Well ok I'll tell but it's not something I like to talk about, it just reminds me of mistakes I made in the past. " I replied "Well Raiden maybe I can help you with that, I can cast a spell that allows us to look in to your memories, if you want us to look at your memories that is. " Celestia said. "Well I guess you can do that but I'm telling you my memories aren't the most pleasant. " I replied. For some reason I kind of trusted these ponies with my memories, but I just hope Celestia doesn't view the wrong memories. "Alright prepare yourself everypony I will now cast the spell. " Celestia announced. With that said Celestia walked towards me and her horn started to glow. "Raiden just relax and don't worry if anything happens I will simply stop the spell. " Celestia said. "Alright prepare yourself. " Celestia said. Celestia's horn touched my head and then everything went black, suddenly we were in a dark void like place, I looked around and I saw Celestia, Luna and the other six were here as well. "Princess where are we? " Asked Twilight. "We are in the realm of memories. " Celestia replied. "Realm of memories? Seriously? " I Asked. "Well I didn't come up with the name. " Celestia replied. "Princess something is happening! " Said a very confused Twilight. "Yes we are being transported in one of Raiden’s memories. " Celestia replied. And with that said a bright light appeared and the memory started. [youtube= Youtube Video ] After the memory all of the ponies were and crying again , even Celestia was crying but for some reason Luna was not crying, she just looked at me with a sad expression. Suddenly I was tackled to the ground by a pink blur, when I looked up I saw Pinkie on my chest, her once poofy mane was straight down and her eyes were filled with tears. She kept crying on my chest, my armor was literally soaked with tears. "Why would they *sob* d-do *sob* t-that t-to y-you? " Pinkie asked. ‘Ohh fuck what do I do now? Well I hope this works as well as it did with Luna.’ I thought. I then started to comfort Pinkie. "Hey shhh it's alright, listen Pinkie I'm a soldier, I fight to protect the weak and sometimes it can cost you things and in this case it cost me my arm and eye, but hey I'm still alive so there's no need to be sad , that counts for all of you. "I said while comforting Pinkie Pie. Pinkie got of my chest, I could see that they were still allows sad, Pinkie's mane was still down and Celestia was still whimpering. "Celestia I think you and the other girls have seen enough come on let's get out of my head. " I suggested. "N-No! "Said a stern Pinkie. "What do you mean with no, you girls aren't used to war or death for that matter I don't want to scar you with my memories. " I replied. "No I mean I want to see what happened to those big meanies. "Pinkie replied. ‘They fucking died that’s what happened.’ I thought. Everybody started to get a hold of themselves and after a a few second Rainbow Dash spoke up. "Yeah dude *sniff* you were like totally awesome, well not as awesome as me of course but still pretty awesome, like when you beat that giant thing that attacked you and you just cut it to pieces. " Rainbow Dash said. "Well darling I for one thought that you where kind of brutish, but I understand it was either you or them but for Faust’s sake their clothing was just hideous, how can they walk around like that. " Said Rarity. Everyone face palmed at Rarity's comment. "Rarity it's not clothing it's armor and when it comes to armor people don't care about clothing, they just care about the protection the armor provides them with. " I replied. "Well that armor of them didn't give the a lot off protection now did it. " Applejack said. "Well when you're using a high frequency blade cutting things will get a lot easier. " I replied. "High frequency what now? " Asked Rainbow Dash. "It's a blade that can cut through almost everything. " I replied. "Wow that's so cool can you show it to me? Can you? Can you? " Asked Rainbow Dash. "Well Celestia took my blade so I can't show it and also I said while pointing at the darkness, we are still in the memory realm. " I replied. "Princess about my sword. " I said. "Well Raiden I can see that you mean no harm to any off my subjects but I will give you your sword back tomorrow, does that sound good to you? " Celestia asked. "Yeah sure but why tomorrow? " I asked. "Well I just don't think it would be wise to let you walk around with a sword in the castle. " Celestia replied. That was it, I was already angry about the part that she took my sword, but now she was refusing to give it back!? Who was she to say what I could do and what I could not do!? That girl needed to be taught some manners. "Listen here Princess! You took my sword without my permission and now you are refusing to give it back!? You know what we call people like you on our world? We call them thieves, liars, egoistic bitches! You are gonna give me my sword back right after we get out of this memory realm you got that girl. " I said with much anger, to be honest I was really pissed, nobody touches my sword without my permission. NO.BODY! "Hey there buster you don't talk to Princess Celestia like that you got that? " Asked a very angry Rainbow Dash. "Oh yeah and what are you gonna do about it!? " I replied. "I'm gonna kick your flank if you try to hurt our Princess! " Rainbow Dash replied. "And I'll buck ya in your chest untill ya can't even walk straight! " Said Applejack. "If you try to hurt Princess Celestia I will make sure you won't go out unharmed. " Said Twilight. "I knew you were a brute the moment I laid my eyes on you! " Rarity said. "You're just a big meanie like those others from your memory! " Pinkie said. "Oh real mature, first your all crying your eyes out because off what happened to me and know your saying I'm the bad guy? " I said. "The Princess should have banished you to the Sun when she had the chance! " Twilight said. "Well why won't you all just fu--" "ENOUGH! " I was interrupted by a loud voice, it appeared to be Celestia using that loud fucking voice again. "Listen Twilight Sparkle, Raiden is just very confused off all of this and as you may have seen he has been through many wars and his blade was the only thing that he had to protect himself with, I think that when I took his blade I took something that was very close to him, imagine how you would feel Twilight Sparkle if somepony would take away all of your books, how would that make you feel? Asked Celestia. " "It would make me feel.......Angry Princess. " Twilight replied. "And that is just how Raiden feels right now, he's angry, he’s on a whole different planet and he's the only one of his kind on Equestria. " Celestia said. All of the ponies looked at me and said "We're sorry", well almost all of them; Rainbow Dash just gave me a angry glare and Fluttershy hid behind her mane. "Alright apology accepted let's just get this over with and Celestia I want my sword back right after this. " I said. "Yes Raiden you will get your sword back after this. "Celestia replied. "Alright fine. "I replied. "Now onto the next memory. " Celestia announced. Just then another bright light appeared and we were sent in another memory, except this one was a little older, it was during the time I encountered Snake in the middle east. Youtube Video After the memory the ponies were awestruck, they looked at me with compassion and sadness. "W-Why would that man try to k-kill you? " Fluttershy asked. "He was a bad guy Fluttershy but in his eyes I was the bad guy. " I replied. "How did you not die!? " Rainbow Dash asked. "Well that is one of the advantages you get as a cyborg, your body can withhold many attacks and fatal wounds. " I replied. "But that other Human wasn’t a cyborg. " Celestia intertwined. "That is true, Vamp wasn’t a cyborg but because of his Nanomachines his wounds would heal extremely fast, thus meaning that Vamp was immortal. " I replied. "Raiden that other Human that helped you, was that Snake? " Celestia asked. "Yes that was Snake. " I replied. "I see, his voice it was full of…..Pain and suffering. " Celestia replied. "He’s been through a lot. " I replied. "Like what? " Twilight asked. "Trust me Twilight, Snake has been through war as well…..But he has it much worse than me. " I replied. "What do you mean? " Asked Twilight. "I don’t want to talk about it, Snake deserves some rest…..he saved our world countless of times….He was called a Hero and Patriot but whenever I called him a hero he would always say, I’m no hero, never was never will be, I’m just an old killer, hired to clean up the wet work. " I replied. "That Human never took any recognition for his actions? " Luna asked. "Nope. "I replied. "Now that is the sign of a true hero. " Luna replied. "Heh maybe you should tell him. " I replied. "Maybe one day We will get the chance to tell him that personally. " Luna replied. "I’m sure Snake will be looking forward to that day. " I replied. "*Ahem* Not to be rude but I think we have seen enough for now, we will be leaving Raiden’s memories. "Celestia said. "Sure thing Princess. " I replied. After that said Celestia’s horn started to glow and a few seconds later we were back in the throne room. "Alright everypony my guards will escort you to your chambers, please follow them. " Celestia said. All of the ponies responded with a "Yes Princess" and left the throne room, leaving Me and the two Princesses in the throne room. "We are going to try and sleep again sister, good day to both of you. " Luna said. Luna disappeared with a *pop* and then it was just me and Celestia….Again. "So what now? " I asked. "Well as promised here is your sword. " Celestia said. Suddenly my sword appeared right on front of me, I grabbed it and sheathed it. "Raiden I have a favor to ask you. " Celestia said. "What is it? " I replied. "Would you mind telling me more about Snake and his adventures? " Celestia asked. "Why? " I asked confused. "I can see he is a very wise Hu"—"Man" I cut her of. "Right man I would like to know more about him. " Celestia replied. "So you’ve taking a interest into Snake eh? " I asked mockingly. "What no I mean well…..Maybe a little. " Celestia replied. "I don’t blame you, I was a big fan of Snake to but trust me, he had a hard life and his adventures are not the ones you seek treasures in. " I replied. "Snake really did make a big impression on you didn’t he? " Celestia asked. "He was the one that told me to live my life and not to waste it. " I replied. "Wise words from a wise man right? " Celestia asked. "A very wise man. " I replied. "Well Raiden, dinner starts at eight so you have two more hours to prepare yourself. " Celestia said. "Thanks Celestia. " I replied. "No Raiden thank you. "Celestia replied. Ten minutes later the mane six………………………….. "So what do you girls think of Raiden? " Asked Twilight Sparkle. "I don’t like him. " Rainbow dash replied. "At first I thought he was a mindless brute but now I’m not so sure, I feel kind of sad for him, I mean you’ve seen what happened to him in his past. " Rarity replied. "Ah think that he needs to wash his mouth after the things he said to the Princess but Ah also feel for him, he has been through a lot. " Applejack replied. "I-I t-think t-that h-he is just m-misunderstood. " Replied Fluttershy. "I first thought he was a big meanie but now I’m sure he can be fun to be around to! " Replied an enthusiastic Pinkie Pie. "Yeah but who is this Snake Princess Celestia and Raiden were talking about? " Twilight asked. "Yeah, I mean we don’t even know who he is, how would the Princess know who this Snake dude is? " Asked Rainbow Dash. "Well whoever he is, he must have been a great influence in Raiden’s life, I mean the way Raiden talked about him it seems to me that he was a good friend of him or something. " Pinkie Pie said. All of the ponies looked at Pinkie, mouths wide open. "What I can be smart to! " Pinkie said. "Oh Pinkie, you can be so random. " Twilight said. Everyone started to laugh at Twilights comment. Meanwhile in another room………………………………… "Snake I wish I could tell you how much you have done for me, how much you have done for everyone, you see yourself as an old killer, but know that…….You are living your life, not as a Snake but as a man. "
Meet Jack The RipperIt was a sunny day in Canterlot, Celestia's sun shined brightly over the beautiful city. An alien creature had arrived in Equestria, this creature was Raiden and right now Raiden was fast asleep, laying in his bed drifting away to the land of dreams. Inside the throne room, two Princesses were discussing a very important topic..... "We still think it would be for the best to let sir Raiden to stay with us in the castle." Luna said to her sister. "Why do you keep insisting that he should stay here?" Celestia asked. "We are not saying that he has to stay, but think how the ponies of Ponyville would react to him." Luna replied. "We simply cannot keep him a secret forever Lulu, we have to tell our subjects about our little alien." Celestia said while taking a sip from her tea. "But sister, what if Raiden doesn't want to leave?" Luna asked. "Then I see no objection to let him stay here in the castle." Celestia replied. "We shall ask sir Raiden for his aswer immediately!" Luna said while her horn started to glow. "Lulu wait!" Celestia shouted. "What is it sister?" Luna asked. "It is still early in the morning, I don't think Raiden is awake yet." Celestia replied. "We are sure Raiden is fully awake!" Luna said. "How do you know?" Celestia asked confused. "We might have ordered two guards to wake him up." Luna replied sheepishly. "Lulu what have I told you about waking up our guests when they are still asleep?" Celestia asked. "You told us that we should wake until they are fully awake." Luna replied. "And is Raiden fully awake?" Celestia asked. He is now. Luna replied. "Oh Lulu y-." Celestia was cut of by a familiar voice coming from the door. "Princess, the guards told me you wanted to speak to me?" The voice asked. "Yes Raiden, please enter." Celestia replied. With that said the door opened and revealed a very sleepy Raiden standing in the doorway. "Not that I didn't like our conversation yesterday, but could this not have waited just a little longer, like an hour or two." Raiden said while wiping away the sleep from his eyes. "I'm sorry Raiden but it appears that my sister insisted talking to you before she goes to sleep." Celestia replied. "Oh alright. What do you need to know Luna?" Raiden asked. Well We were thinking that you might want to stay in the castle until we find a way for you to return to your world. Luna said. "Ehm I eh I appreciate the offer but I kinda promised Twilight that I would come with her to Ponyville." Raiden replied. "What!? When did Twilight ask thee that sir Raiden!?" Lune asked while using the Royal Canterlot voice. "Well.........." Last night, 2 hours after the realm of memories........ Raidens POV, "Snake I wish I could tell you how much you have done for me, how much you have done for everyone, you see yourself as an old killer, but know that…….You are living your life, not as a Snake but as a man. " I said. I looked up at the sealing and started thinking about what happened in the last few days. Well I'm trapped in an alien world were almost all of its inhabitants are ponies, I have no clue as to how I am going to be able to return to Earth, I have my sword back (thank god) and I've befriended the rulers of this planet. So you could say it isn't all that bad, but I still have to get home as quickly as possible. *Knock* *Knock* "What?" Who knocks on a door this late? Well I'm not going to get any sleep anyway so I might as well answer it. I walked over towards the door and opened it, I was surprised to see Twilight standing in the door opening. "Hey Twilight." Do you need something? I asked. 'Is she wearing pajamas?' I thought while looking at her. She had this hat on that kind of looked like a Santa Claus hat, and she was wearing what appeared to be light blue pajamas. "Well actually yes I do, do you mind if I come in?" Twilight asked. "Ehm I guess not." I said while gesturing for her to come in. Twilight walked inside my room, she began pacing around and started humming, as if she wanted to say something. "Twilight this is just a guess but, are you perhaps here to ask more questions?" I asked. Twilight looked at me, an awkward smile planted on her face. "Ehm well uhm.....Yes." Twilight said while looking down at ground. "I just couldn't sleep because of all the things I still want to ask you, like your world, all the technology and many other things.......But I'm guessing you want to get some sleep so I'll just leave." Twilight said disappointed while walking towards the door. "Wait Twilight!" I said. She stopped in her tracks and looked at me with a confused expression. "Yes what is it?" She asked confused. "Listen I can't really sleep right now, so I wouldn't mind a little company." I replied with a smile. "Really!?" She asked with a hint of enthusiasm. "Yes Twilight really." I replied. "Oh thankyouthankyou!" She said while jumping up and down. "Alright alright heheheh." I replied while chuckling at her childly behavior. She really reminds me of Little John.......If I only was there when it happened. I looked at Twilight, she was still jumping and it appeared she had already teleported a paper and quill. "Alright Twilight make yourself at home." I said while sitting down on the (not so comfortable) bed. Twilight made her way over to the bed and sat down beside me. "Alright first question. Where you always a cyborg?" She asked. "No, at first I was just a normal Human being but eventually I became a cyborg." I replied. "Why did you choose to become a cyborg?" Twilight asked while scribbling something on the paper. "Well I didn't choose to be a cyborg I was forced." I replied. "Why would somepony force you if you clearly didn't want to become a cyborg?" She asked. "Twilight I have told Princess Celestia the same thing that I'm about to tell you, but she promised to keep it to herself and not tell anybody about it. So what I'm asking is, can you assure me that you will keep this to yourself." I said. "Of course I'll even Pinkie promise it!" She replied "Pinkie what now?" I asked confused. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. Twilight said while flapping her wings and pretending to stick something in her eye." She said. "Uhm I take it that that is a yes?" I asked. "Yep." She replied. "Alright this is what happened." I said. And with that I started telling her everything, The Big Shell indicted, I told her about Snake (who she became surprisingly interested in for some reason), my mission to rescue Sunny from The Patriots (leaving out the part about me becoming an alcoholic) and how I got captured and turned in to a cyborg. Twilight was writing furiously, she had already broken 2 quills and had used up a lot of paper and ink. I feel sorry for the trees on this planet. I thought while looking toward Twilight. I also told her about the time when I teamed up with Snake and fought alongside him to stop The Patriots from total world control and how we fought against Snakes twin brother Liquid, after explaining who Liquid was and what he had done, Twilight told me he reminded her of Discord before his reformation. So after a lot of words and 2 more broken quills my story came at an end. "And that's basically my life in a nutshell." I said while standing up and stretching my arms. "Wow that's a lot to take in, and to think you had to cut off your own.....arm was it?" She asked. "Yes, I had to do a lot of crazy things in my life." I replied. "And that Liquid *shivers* just the thought makes my body tens up. To think that he was Snake's brother, I mean from what you've told me, Snake sounds like a good.....ehm person?" She asked. "Yes he was a good man, he has been through a lot, but he always fought to protect the ones he loved and to protect the world from evil men like Liquid and Solidus." I replied. "Yeah, but for some odd reason you haven't talked about Solidus as much as you talked about Liquid." She said. "Well it's just that.........-" I trailed off. I got a flashback about my time as a child soldier, how I was trained to kill at an age of five and how I got my nickname, I could still hear the screams of all those people who died by my own hands. "Raiden are you alright?" Twilight asked. "Huh? Uhm yeah yeah I'm fine." I replied while trying to forget the images from my past. "Are you sure *yawn* Raiden?" asked a sleepy Twilight Sparkle. "Yeah I'm fine, but you are very tired aren't you?" I asked. "Well we have been talking for 2 hours or more so yeah I'm kind of tired, I think I'm going to go back to my room and try to get some sleep." Twilight replied while jumping of the bed, only to fall face first on the floor. "From all the sitting; her legs must have gone tired." I thought while getting of the bed. "Owwwwww." Twilight said while rubbing her muzzle with her hoof. "Are you alright?" I asked while bending down to take a look at her muzzle. I gently put one hand under her muzzle while lifting it up to meet her face to face. "It seems to be alright, it'll probably become a bruise later but nothing serious." I said while letting go of her muzzle. "Thanks." She mumbled. "Twilight just before you go back to your room, could I ask you something?" I asked. "Sure." She replied. "How did you managed to get to my room without being noticed by any of the guards?" I asked. I" simply teleported to your room." She replied. "Ok I guess that's how the guards didn't notice you, but wait!" I said while pointing at the door "aren't there two guards guarding my room." I said. "I might have asked Princess Luna to dismiss the two guards that were guarding your room." Twilight said while rubbing the back of her head awkwardly. "And Luna just agreed to that?" I asked. "Well yes and there is the fact that she wants to talk to you as well when I was finished." Twilight replied. "So I'm guessing Luna is waiting outside?" I asked. "Thou art correct Raiden!" Luna replied to the question. "Well good luck Raiden and could you do me a favor?" Twilight asked. "Sure what is it?" I asked. Twilight then signaled me to bend down so she could whisper something in my ear. "Would you like to return to Ponyville with me and the others so I could ask you some more questions about your world?" Twilight asked/whispered. "Why? Can't you just visit the castle any time you want? I mean you are Princess Celestia's personal student after all." I whispered back. "Well it's just that I feel a little more comfortable in my library, and there is the fact that Pinkie won't let you stay here until she has thrown you your Welcome to Ponyville party." Twilight replied. "*sigh* Alright Twilight I promise to come with you and your friends." I replied. "Do you Pinkie promise?" Twilight asked. "Uhm sure I Pinkie promise." I replied while holding out my hand. Twilight looked at my hand confused before speaking up. "You said that you would Pinkie promise." Twilight said. "I am!....I am right?" I asked. "You don't remember how to Pinkie promise do you?" Twilight asked while chuckling a little. "No I guess I forgot." I relied sheepishly. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Twilight said while flapping her wings and putting her hoof in front of her eye. "Ehm, Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye?" I said while trying to mimic the same gestures Twilight made, it ended up with me flapping my arms up and down as if I wanted to fly, and accidentally poking myself in the eye. "Ahhh shit!" I shouted. "*chuckles* Don't worry, the same thing happened to me as well." Twilight said while walking towards the door. "Luckily I didn't poke my other eye out, I would hate to walk with two eye patches." I replied while rubbing my eye. I looked toward the door and I saw a purple aura covering the doorknob. 'I still have to get used to the whole magic thing.' I thought. The door opened and revealed Luna standing in the doorway. "Hello Princess." A now sleepy Twilight said. "Hello Twilight Sparkle, thou art tired art thee not?" Luna asked. "Yes *yawn* Princess I am very tired, I think that I'm going to teleport back to my room and try to get some sleep". Twilight replied. "That would be a wise idea Twilight Sparkle, sleep well." Luna said. Twilight gave the Princess a smile. Twilight horn began glowing and a second later she was gone. Luna looked at me and gave a, me a warm smile. "Could We come in Raiden?" Luna asked. "Err sure I guess we can talk for a while." I replied. "Fantastic!" Luna said while walking inside and closing the door with her magic. "So what do you want to know?" I asked while sitting down on the bed. "Well We were hoping thou would tell us something." Luna said. "And that something is?" I asked. "Well thou sees, when We visited thine nightmare we were attacked by you, for some reason We could feel the pain when thee impaled Us with thine sword." Luna said. "Didn't you already told me this when I visited your chambers?" I asked confused. "Yes thou did." Luna said while blushing. 'Why does she keep blushing around me?' I thought. "Well We would like to know how thou were able to hurt Us." Luna said. "Listen Luna, I have no idea as to how I able to hurt you in a dream, but if you are still afraid of me I completely understand." I replied. "No no We are not afraid of thee, it is just that thou didn't seem like the Raiden thou art now." Luna said. "The Raiden I am now?" I repeated her last words. "Yes thou were acting really strange, thou had this......Darkness around you, a darkness so dark that We thought Discord had something to do with it, but then We remembered his reformation and the fact he was probably at Fluttershy's cottage Luna." said. "Luna there are some things I'd rather keep to myself, like my past. The only one who know about my past are Snake, Otacon, Roy Campbell and my..........Ex-wife." I said while thinking about Rosemary and the hard times we've been through. "Ex-wife? So does that mean thou art divorced?" Luna asked. "Yes I am divorced." I replied. "Why?" Luna asked. "That's something I'd rather keep to myself as well." I replied while looking Luna straight in her eyes. "Ok We understand, it must be hard for you isn't it?" Luna asked with a hint of concern. "It was very hard in the beginning Luna, I even tried to end my life once." I replied. Shit! Why did I say that!? Suddenly tackled me into a bone-crushing hug. "Wow Luna what's wrong?" I asked confused. "Why did thou try to take thine own life!?" Luna said while tears were starting to form in her eyes. And here we go again. I bend over and gave Luna a hug just like I did yesterday. "Luna." I whispered. "*sob* Yes?" She asked. "Listen you don’t have to cry about me, you barely know me. Heh last time I checked you tried to blast me with magic." I said. "Raiden *sob* thou has been trough much pain and *sob* suffering, We know how thou feels, We know what it’s like to be alone." Luna replied. "Listen Luna you don’t have to worry about me, I know about your banishment, your sister told me about it." I said. Luna broke the hug and looked at me with an even more sadddened expression. "And t-thou thinks We are a m-monster?" Luna asked. "No, I don’t think you are a monster, you felt jealousy against your sister, I can understand how you feel, you wanted the ponies to enjoy your night at its fullest, but all you got were a bunch of sleeping ponies who didn’t care about your night." "But know this Luna, people shouldn’t be afraid of the night, they shouldn’t be afraid of the dark because the moons beauty and light will always guide them through the darkness." Luna looked at me a smile forming on her face, before suddenly tackling me in another hug. *Oomph*. Was the only thing I could say. "Thank thee Raiden, thine words mean the world to Us. Thou art the first to say something nice about our night." Luna said while hugging me. It was kind of awkward, here I was being hugged by a Princess. The hug was almost like a Human hug, she had her front legs around my waste and her head in my chest. "Uhm your welcome?" I said. Luna looked up at me, tears in her eyes, but these tears were tears of happiness, not of sadness. "Raiden thou art the first one to care about our night but we must know one thing." Luna said while breaking the hug. "What is it?" I asked. "Did thou mean what thou said about the moon? About it being beautiful?" Luna asked. "Luna when I was young I would always look up to the moon, I would think about things that I had done in my past, even when I was older and became a cyborg I still looked up to the moon. The moon was my guide throughout many of my missions and it will always be my guide." I replied. Luna’s tears had been replaced by a big smile on her face. "Thank thee Raiden, we will leave thou to rest." Luna said. "Goodnight Princess." I replied. Luna gave me a smile, her horn started glowing and a few seconds later she was gone. 'Wow that was one of the toughest nights I’ve ever had…….Aside from fighting Sundowner.' I thought while moving towards the bed. I might as well try to get some sleep, But still what is up with Luna? I mean she acts……Weird around me, the first time me met she was ready to kill me, but now she hugs e and has cried in my arms for two times. "I'll figure it out tomorrow." I said while getting in bed. Damn ponies. Couldn’t even get a decent bed for me, well luckily for me my body can resist the pain I’m gonna have in my back tomorrow. After a few minutes of thinking about what had occurred; I decided to get some sleep and just forget the whole thing. 'Luna must have nightmares about her past as well, she probably just needed someone to talk to.' I thought. And with that thought sleep took over and I drifted off to the Land of Nightmares. Luna POV 'I cannot believe that Raiden actually likes the night!' I thought while flying over Ponyville. But what is this strange feeling I get in my tummy when I see or speak to Raiden? I decided to shrug it off and continue my stroll around Ponyville. 'My dear subjects, look at them, they are all asleep. Even Raiden is asleep- RAIDEN!' I thought while stopping in midair. I still do not know what attacked me in his dream. I need to know, and the only way to find out is to *gulp* visits his dreams. I thought while remembering the entre scene that occurred in his dreams 'I just need to know.' I thought. And with that said I flew back towards Canterlot, back to whatever lurks in Raiden’s dreams. Five minutes later, Canterlot……. I arrived at Canterlot and immediately teleported to Raiden’s room, I saw Raiden, he was fast asleep. 'He looks peaceful.' I thought. 'Well here goes nothing, but this time I am prepared for whatever comes at me.' I thought while moving closer to Raiden. 'Raiden I am truly sorry about this but there is no other way.' And with that I entered Raiden’s dreams, only to be greeted by a horrifying scene. Youtube Video "What what was that?" I thought while trying to process the scene I has just seen. That was defiantly not the Raiden I know, Raiden was plain out evil, he murdered those men, he got stabbed and it didn’t even seem to hurt him and then he turned of those pain inhibitors so he could feel the pain!? 'Should I tell Tia about this?' I thought. "Welcome back Princess." A voice said. "What, where art thou!?" We know thou art there Raiden!" I shouted. "I’m right behind you sweetheart." The voice said. I turned around and saw The same Raiden I saw in the flashback, he was covered in the same red aura and he had this smile that could scare a dragon to its bones, Raiden pulled me in the dark void we were in before and started talking. "It’s a pleasure to see you again Princess." Raiden said. "What art thou and what has thou done with the real Raiden!?" I asked. "I am the real Raiden Princess." The voice replied laughing maniacally. "Thou art not the Raiden We know!" I said while trying to blast him with magic. My magic simply bounced off Raiden, Raiden looked at me before reaching behind his back and grabbing his sword. "Tell me Princess." Raiden said while playing with his sword. ( he’s doing the same thing he did while talking to Monsoon by the way) "Have I ever told you my real name?" Raiden asked. "Thou has told Us thine name but thou art not the Raiden we speak of!" I shouted. "My real name is not Raiden Princess." Raiden said. "What is thine real name then?" I asked. "Jack The Ripper." Raiden replied. "The Ripper?" I asked. "Yes the Ripper, as in I’m gonna rip you apart!" Raiden shouted while running towards me at full speed. "Oh no thou art not pulling that one on us again!" I shouted. "What are you gonna do? I’m in control here!" Raiden shouted while holding his sword up. His sword came down and was inches away from my head, but luckily for me I had learned from my mistakes and concentrated all my energy on this spell. I quickly casted the spell and before Raiden could strike me down I was already gone. "No!" Jack shouted. Jack looked up at the darkness before speaking up. "You got lucky this time Princess, but trust me, when the time comes I will have your head." "*gasp* No Rose I………..*sigh*Just another nightmare." Raiden thought while going back to sleep. What Raiden didn’t know was that a certain Princess was watching him. "Just what art thou not telling us Raiden?" Luna asked. And with that said Luna teleported herself outside of Raiden’s room, the encounter with Jack The Ripper still fresh in her mind . Canterlot throne room, Raiden POV "And you are sure you want to go with Twilight to Ponyville?" Celestia asked. "I am certain Celestia……And I kind of Pinkie promised it." I replied sheepishly. "Well then I see no reason to decline your decision." Celestia said. "Thank you Celestia, but if you find anything that could help me get home please let me know immediately." I said. "I will Raiden and have a safe trip." Celestia replied. "Thank you Celestia……And if you want to know more about Snake you just got to ask." I said with mockingly. It appeared Celestia blushed a little at my comment. "Uhm I eh *ahem* I will." Celestia replied. "Alright Celestia , thank you for all of this, I mean me being an alien on your planet and you’re treating me as an equal. I said. "You have saved Ponyville from those raiders and you save Twilight Sparkle, this is the least I can do for you Raiden." Celestia replied. "Thank you Celestia." I replied. "No Raiden Thank you."
Hello Ponyville!Raiden POV, The flight to Ponyville wasn’t a quiet one. Twilight and her friends kept asking me questions about my world, my life as a cyborg, and if I would show them more off my technology. Eventually the flight ended, we landed in the middle off Ponyville square, all of the ponies who were in Ponyville square were in for a big surprise 'Not the smartest idea.' I thought while stepping out of the chariot. The ponies stopped what they were doing and began to watch me. "Here we go again." I mumbled. "Everypony can I have your attention please!" Twilight shouted while stepping out of the chariot. The others soon followed. Another chariot was preparing to land. In that chariot were: Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack. The ponies didn’t listen to her though, they began to shout and were starting to back away. "What is that thing doing here!?" One of the ponies shouted "Why isn’t it locked up behind bars!?" Another shouted. "Everypony please calm down." Twilight said, trying to calm the crowd of angry ponies down. The crowd didn't listen to her, they began to shout even louder. "Shut up for a second! Twilight is trying to explain why he." Rainbow Dash shouted while stepping out of the (recently landed) chariot, and pointing her hoof at me "is here in Ponyville." The crowd immediately went silent, only a few mumbles could be heard. "Now that I have your attention let me introduce you to the hero who saved Ponyvillle." Twilight said while pointing her hoof at me. "Meet Raiden, the cyborg from Earth!" Twilight said. "Earth? In what part off Equestria is that?" A Brown Earth pony asked. "Well it’s not in Equestria." Twilight replied sheepishly. "Is it in Griffonia then?" A red Pegasus asked. "No." Twilight replied. "Mino--." "Listen I am an extraterrestrial being from the planet Earth." I said while walking towards the crowd. "I am not here to hurt anyone and I can assure you that I am not here to invade your planet or something." I said. The crowd went silent for a minute before a young unicorn filly walked up to me and spoke up. "A-Are you t-the one who s-saved Ponyville?" The blue filly asked. "Yes, I saved your town, I saw what those raiders were doing, and trust me when I say that my people deal differently with raiders than you ponies do." We’d probably kill all of them, or sent them to a prison with only water and bread to feed themselves with. The young filly looked up at me in awe, when suddenly giving my leg a hug. "Thank you mister alien." The filly said while hugging my leg. I smiled and carefully bend down to return the hug. "Seriously everypony. This is the big bad alien you are all afraid off?" Twilight asked while poitning her hoof at me. Twilight only got a few mumbles back in response. The filly broke the hug and ran back to a pink unicorn mare. 'Must be her mother or something.' I thought while looking at the mare. "Mommy mommy! Did you see what I did?" The filly asked excitedly. "Yes I did sweetie." The mare replied while looking at me. She gave me a warm smile and spoke up. "He." She said while pointing her hoof at me. "Saved all of our lives. Who knows what would have happened if he didn’t show up when those raiders attacked the town." The pink mare said. "We would have all died probably." Rainbow Dash said. She got a slap on the head by Applejack in return. "Ya can’t just go around and say something like that. Applejack snapped at her. "Hey I’m just telling the truth." Rainbow Dash replied. "Could you two please continue this argument elsewhere?" Twilight asked annoyed. Rainbow Dash and Applejack looked at her before giving her a awkward smile. "We’ll be quiet sugarcube." Applejack said. "Yep! No words coming out of this mare’s mouth." Rainbow Dash replied while holding her hoof to her mouth. "Good. Now as you all know Raiden is an alien, meaning that he is not from this world; but that does not mean we should treat him differently. Twilight said while walking up to the crowd. "He will be treated with the same respect you would give to anypony." Twilight said. The crowd nodded in response. "Could I ask the alien something?" A dark orange filly asked. "Sure Scootaloo, I’m sure Raiden would love to answer your question. But after that; we need to return to the library to show Raiden were he will be sleeping." Twilight replied. "He’s staying with you Twilight?" Scootaloo asked confused. "Yep! Now what was it you wanted to ask him?" Twilight asked. "Uhm, I-I kinda saw you fighting those Diamond Dogs and well……Could I see your sword?" Scootaloo asked pleadingly. 'Shit! She saw me cut those dogs into pieces? That’s gonna give that kid some serious trauma’s.' I thought while unsheathing my sword. "This is my high frequency blade sword." I said while showing her my high frequency blade. A few ooh’s and aah’s were heard from the crowd. High frequency? What does that mean? Scootaloo asked confused. It basically means that this sword can cut through almost anything. I replied while sheathing my sword. "Almost antyhting?!" Scootaloo shouted. "Yep almost anything. Like stone, metal, wood.......Magic." I replied with a grin. "Wow that is so cool!" Scootaloo exclaimed. 'She really reminds me of Little Jon when he saw me in the hospital after the Outer Haven incident…….I’m sorry that I couldn’t always be there for you kiddo….And it’s too late to apologize now.' I thought while looking at Scootaloo’s excitement. "Alright everypony that’s all for now, you can ask questions later on and--." "You can all ask questions at the big Welcome To Ponyville/Thank you for saving our lives party!" Pinkie exclaimed. "A party? For him?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well duh silly, he saved our lives and he’s new in Ponyville!" Pinkie replied with much joy. "And of course you’re going to throw him a a party aren’t you darling?" Rarity asked. "Yep! I already planned the entire thing out in Canterlot." Pinkie replied. "What!? How were you able to do that so fast?" Rarity asked shocked and astonished. Pinkie just shrugged. "I’m Pinkie Pie, you know I can do those things." "Well I suppose you do darling." Rarity said. "Well let's go before anything unusual happens." Twilight whispered. "Unusual? Darling whatever are you talking about?" Rarity asked. "Well you know normally when something exciting happens in Ponyville; there is always something to ruin it." Twilight replied. "Ruin what?" I asked while walking up to them. Twilight gave me a nervous glare before speaking up. "Well it’s just that when something this big happens in Ponyville; it usually ends with us fixing a problem that was caused by the big thing that happened." Twilight replied. "So basically what you’re telling me is: Don’t make a scene?" I asked. "Well either you make a scene or--." "WATCH OUT BELOW!" Someone screamed. i looked up and saw a gey pegasus. "That could happen." Twilight finished while pointing her hoof at the sky. I looked up and saw a grey Pegasus flying directly towards me. I quickly rolled out of the way and the Pegasus collided with the royal chariot. *CRACK* 'Shit. Let’s hope that was the chariot and not her.' I thought while getting up. "Derpy are you ok?" Twilight asked while walking towards (the now) broken chariot. " Yeah I’m totally fine Twilight!" Derpy replied. 'What the hell is wrong with her eyes?' I thought while walking closer to Derpy. Derpy looked up at me (well one eye did) and stared at me in awe. "Wow! I'm so sorry mister alien sir." Derpy replied while getting up and brushing the dust off herself. "My name is Ditzy Doo, a pleasure to meet you!" Ditzy said while holding out her hoof. I smiled at her, I bended over and grabbed her hoof. "Raiden." I replied while shaking her hoof. "I saw you fighting against those raiders a few days ago, and I have to say that they were absolutely no match for you." Ditzy said. I let go off her hoof and stood back up. "You saw me as well huh?" I asked. "Yep, but not for long though." Ditzy said. "What do you mean not for long?" I asked confused. "I fainted when you cut that first Diamond Dog in half." Ditzy replied. "Oh. Well….Sorry about that I guess." I said sheepishly while rubbing the back of my head. "Aaah forget it." Ditzy replied while ruffling her wings. "But I have to go now, so I'll see ya around?" Ditzy asked. "Sure thing Ditzy." I replied. Ditzy gave me a smile and took off…….Only to crash 20 meters further. "Does she always do that?" I asked Twilight. "You have no idea." Twilight replied. She looked at the crowd before speaking up again. "As Pinkie told you; you can ask Raiden anything you want tonight at the party." "Anything? Like how he lost his eye?" One of the ponies asked. Seriously!? Again with my fucking eye?! "Uhm, yes even that." Twilight replied. "Alright Y’all, let’s hear it fer Raiden!" Applejack shouted. The crowd responded with a "Yay Raiden!" Some more cheering was heard afterwards. Well that’s the first time this has ever happened, normally when I would save someone I would get a thank you and that’s it. But here they are cheering for me and are going to throw me a party. I could get used to this……Could. "Are you ready to leave Raiden?" Twilight asked. "Yeah I’m ready." I replied. "Alright, then let’s go." Twilight announced. I nodded and started to walk with her towards the library. Luckily for us the library wasn’t too far away. When I was walking away from the crowd I could hear them saying all sorts of different things like: "I can’t believe that there is an alien in Equestria." Or: "Did you see his sword?" I chuckled at their excitement. But I couldn’t blame them, I was an alien to them. A few minutes later we reached the library, on the way to the library we came across some ponies, they greeted us with simple Hi’s or How are you doing? They were startled a bit when they first laid eyes on me, but eventually they warmed up. "Here we are again." Twilight said while opening the door to the library. "Yeah." I said while looking at all of the variety of bookcases. There were so many, just so many books. No wonder Twilight wanted to know so much about me, she probably wants to write a whole book over Earth and the Humans. "If ya’ll don’t mind; I’ll be heading towards Sweet Apple Arces. Ah still need to help Big Mac with them apple trees." Applejack said. "Yeah I think I’ll be heading out to, I've got to manage the weather as the most awesome pegasus of Equestria." Rainbow Dash said while hovering over my head. "Could you please stop that?" I asked slightly annoyed. "Alright, alright jeez what's up with you?" Rainbow Dash asked sarcastically. "I didn't get a goodnight sleep." I replied. "Aah I know how you feel, when I don't get a good night rest I become very grumpy." Rainbow Dash said while trying to mimic a grumpy face. "Really?" I asked sarcastically. "Really." Rainbow Dash replied. "Maybe I was wrong about you Dash, you're not as bad as I thought." I said while holding out my hand. She looked at my hand before smiling and placing her hoof in my palm. "I was wrong about you too, but you have got to show me some of those awesome moves I saw you doing in your memories........Without killing anypony of course." Rainbow Dash said. "Uhm Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked. "What is It Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You do know that Applejack left right?" Twilight asked. ".......That's the 4th time she's done that to me! Alright I gotta go! See you Twilight, see you Fluttershy, see you Rarity, see you Pinkie." Rainbow Dash said while flying towards the (recently) opened window. She stopped right before she flew out. "And goodbye Raiden The Big Bad Cyborg from Earth." Rainbow Dash said while trying to mimic a movie trailer voice. "See you later Rainbow Dash." I called back. "With that said she took off, leaving a rainbow trail behind her." Damn she is pretty fast. "N-Not to be rude but uhm….I need to go back h-home to see how my animal friends are doing." Fluttershy said. "And I need to return to the boutique darling, I still have some things to do." Rarity said. "Well I’ll see you two at the party! i have to prepare the snacks and cupcakes" Pinkie exclaimed. With almost as much speed as Rainbow Dash she opened the door and ran out. "How does she keep doing that?" I thought. "Tata darlings." Rarity said while walking towards the door. "Bye Rarity." Twilight said. "I-I’m going to leave now…..If that’s okay with you of course." Fluttershy said. "Sure Fluttershy. Will we see you at the party tonight?" Twilight asked. "S-Sure I’d love to c-come." Fluttershy replied with a smile. Fluttershy gave us a smile and walked out the door. "A party for me huh? I’ve never been to fond of parties but I guess I can make an exception." "Well Raiden it appears it’s just you and me…..So what do you want to do?" Twilight asked. "I don’t know Twilight." I replied with a shrug. "What do you want to do?" "Well I would really appreciate it if I could ask you some more questions." Twilight replied. I mentally sighed, but I knew that she as just curious. "Alright, let’s do it." Twilight gave me a warm smile and levitated a paper and quill. Alright just take a seat on one of the chairs and we can get started. Twilight said while sitting down on a chair. I sat down on a chair as well, a few *cracks* were heard but luckily it didn’t break. 'This chair is really uncomfortable.' I thought while trying to sit in a comfortable position. "Alright first question: What did you think of the Princesses?" Twilight asked. "Well I thought they were nice, they reminded me of a good friend of mine." I replied. "Let me guess, Snake?" Twilight asked. "Yep, but I did notice some strange things." I said. "Strange? Like what?" Twilight asked curiously. "Well is Princess Luna always this caring about her….Visitors?" I asked. "Caring? Well Princess Luna is really nice. While she was Nightmare Moon in the past; that doesn’t mean she still is. We banished Nightmare Moon and freed Princess Luna." Twilight replied. "Yeah I heard the story from Celestia, a thousand years is a long long time. She must have felt devastated when she first returned." I said. "She was in the beginning, but Celestia told me that she was beginning to warm up to everypony." Twilight replied. 'Yeah she warmed up alright.' "Alright, second question: What do you think of Equestria?" "I think it is a beautiful land, from what I’ve seen it looks peaceful and not to mention very colorful." I replied. "So you like it here?" Twilight asked. "Yes Twilight, I like it here." I replied. 'But I still need to get back to Earth as soon as possible.' "Aright third--." "Twilight are you home?" A voice from upstairs cut Twilight off. "Oh I almost forgot. Twilight said while getting up. "You remember Spike right?" "Yeah I do." I replied. "Spike I’m downstairs." Twilight shouted back. "Alright I’m coming." Spike said. A few steps were heard on the stairs, within seconds the little dragon stood downstairs. He smiled at Twilight, but froze in place when he saw me. "Hey there Spike." I said. Spike just stood there, his eyes were filled with fear. "W-What i-is h-he d-doing here T-Twilight?" Spike asked. "Well he." Twilight said while pointing her hoof at me "will be sleeping here." Twilight replied with a hint of joy. "S-Sleeping here? As in here in the library, the library were we live in?" Spike asked. "Yes Spike, is that a problem?" Twilight asked. "N-No problem Twilight, heheh." Spike replied nervously. "Listen kid; there is no reason for you to be afraid of me. I won hurt you or anyone for that matter. So please let’s start over." I said while walking towards him. I bend over and held out my hand. Spike looked at my hand for a few seconds, unsure of what to do. He eventually placed his claw in my palm. I gave him a firm handshake. "Now do you still find Raiden scary?" Twilight asked. "Scared? Me? Hah no way I was scared." Spike replied while buffing his chest. I decided it was time to pull a practical joke on him. "Boo!" I said. "Waaah!" Spike shouted while falling on his back. Twilight giggled while Spike just sat there; still processing what had just occured. ".......Did you just pull a joke on me?" Spike asked. "*chuckle* Maybe I did and maybe I didn't." I replied with a grin. "Oh it's on now." Spike said. "Now Spike don't go around and prank Raiden just because he pranked you." Twilight said. "But he pranked me. That means I get to prank him back." Spike replied while crossing his arms. "Yes, but do you remember when you used to prank me and I didn't prank you back?" Twilight asked. "Yeah I do, you didn't prank me back; instead you let me do all the chores for 2 days." Spike replied grumpily. "Yep, so do you get what I'm trying to learn you?" Twilight asked. 'She's learning him something?' I thought confused. "Uhm, no not really Twilight." Spike replied. "What I'm trying to say is: If someone does something to you, you shouldn't take revenge on him or her, instead just ignore what they." Twilight said. "So I should just ignore the fact that Raiden pranked me?" Spike asked confused. "Basically yes." Twilight replied with a smile. "Fine, Raiden I forgive you for pranking me." Spike said defeated. "You don't need to apologize to me kid." I said. "Really? That's great!" Spike said. "Spike!" Twilight said. "Uhm I mean thank you Raiden?" Spike said. "That's better. Now since your down here you can ask Raiden some questions for yourself." Twilight said while pointing her hoof at me. "I can?" Spike said enthusiastically. "You can Spike." I replied. "So cool! Alright first question: Why the eye patch?" "*sigh* I lost my eye while fighting an enemy of mine, this eye-patch though is special." I replied. "What makes it special?" Spike asked curiously. "It works the same as any normal eye would, it's basically a new eye." I replied. Wait, so your telling me that you can see with that thing?" Spike asked confused. "Yep." I replied. "Prove it!" Spike said. "Huh? What do you mean prove it?" I asked. "Close your eye and I'll point my claw at something, if you can guess were I'm pointing it at; I'll believe you." Spike said. "*sigh* You are one stubborn little…..I'm sorry what were you again?" I asked. "I’m a dragon." Spike replied. "Yes, you are one stubborn dragon aren’t you?" I asked. "Yep! Now close your eyes…..Uh sorry I meant eye." Spike said sheepishly. I did as he told me to and closed my right eye. "Alright, were am I pointing at?" Spike asked while pointing at one of the bookcases. "You’re pointing at the bookcase on the far left." I replied casually. "What! How did you….You just got lucky." Spike said while pointing his claw at Twilight. "What am I pointing at now?" Spike asked. "You’re pointing at Twilight." I replied. "How!? How do you do that?" Spike asked confused and irritated at the same time. "Like I told you, this eye-patch is like a second eye to for me." I replied while pointing at my eye patch. "How were you able to make such a thing?" Twilight asked in awe. "I didn’t make it, Doktor did." I replied. "Well if you ever return to your world I'll make sure to come with you." Twilight said. "Oh? And why is that?" I asked curiously. Isn’t it obvious? Twilight asked. Could you imagine me a unicorn from Equestria being able to go to an alien planet! I can already imagine how your planet looks like. Big buildings even higher as Canterlot itself, alien machines, and of course…..*gulp* those cyborgs. Twilight said while hesitating the last remark. "Well you got almost everything right." I said while walking towards a bookcase. I grabbed a book and surprisingly enough I was able to read it. "The History Of Equestria." I read out loud. "Twilight’s mouth stood agape. YY-You c-can read Equestrian?" Twilight asked. "Well it's written in perfect English, so yeah I can read it." I replied while closing the book. "This is so amazing." Twilight said while bouncing up and down. "So that means that I could read books from your planet as well right? Riiiiiiiiight?" "I guess so." I replied. Heh she’s even happier than Rose was when we first started dating…….I miss you Rose, but it was for the best. I’m so sorry about Little John i-if I was only stronger then…… "Raiden is everything alright?" Twilight asked concerned. "Huh? Oh y-yeah I’m fine." I replied. "Well let’s go back to the matter at hoof." Twilight said. "Twilight are you just going to talk about books with him or are you going to show him around?" Spike asked. Twilight looked at Spike before giving him a cheeky smile. "Heheh sorry I got kinda carried away there." Twilight admitted sheepishly. "Let me show you were you will sleep Raiden." Twilight said while gesturing me to follow her. I followed her towards the back of the library, she opened a door; we walked downstairs towards to (what I guessed) her basement. "Here we are Raiden, it's not much but it's the best I can offer. Now there has got be a spare mattress around here somewhere." Twilight said. "Thanks Twilight, this will do." I said with a smile. "So I guess Ill leave you to prepare yourself for the party then?" Twilight said. "I’ll just need to make a few arrangements and then I’ll be upstairs." I replied. Twilight gave me a smile and walked back upstairs. 'Shit she forgot to tell me where the mattress was……Oh never mind.' I thought while grabbing the mattress. Wow this thing is not heavy at all. I thought while picking up the mattress and putting it down on the ground. It’s not big enough for my entire body but it’ll have to do for now. Alright I think that’ll do for now, at least Twilight was kind enough to lit some candles, and luckily there is a window so that the sun can brighten this room. I decided to settle down later and walked back upstairs. I was greeted by Twilight holding a paper and quill and two cups of water that stood on the table. "Let me guess: Long talk?" I asked, already knowing the answer. "Yep! Now shall we begin?" Twilight asked. "No! Yes of course Twilight." I replied with a smile. "Hey do you two mind if I join you?" Spike asked. "Not at all Spike." Twilight replied. "Just grab a chair kid." I added. Spike gave us a wide smile, he grabbed the nearest chair and sat down next Twilight. "Alright let's begin." "Armstrong do you have any idea what you have done!?" Chrysallis asked. "I just saved your sorry ass and killed these 4 manticores with my bare hands, you're welcome your highness." Armstrong replied. "When are you actually going to do something about that attitude of yours?" Chrysallis asked. "When you give me what I want your highness......A way back to Earth." 'And when I return; nothing can stop me.'
A new hero? Or a new enemy?"The hell are you thinking?" Demanded Raiden. "There's no way of convincing you to join me so I'm gonna end your life right here and right now!" Screamed Armstrong. "What the!" Was Raiden’s last words. Armstrong just gave him the biggest upper-cut a man could give, and while Raiden didn't feel much of it, he still went flying into the air. "SHIT" Raiden screamed in anger. "So long Jack." Said Armstrong. It felt like an eternity when Raiden was in the air and while he was in the air, he thought back of his life. "Is this really how it's going to end?" He asked himself. Just then a portal opened beneath Raiden and he was sucked in. "What the fuck!?" Screamed Raiden. And then everything went black. Twilights POV I watched the night sky with my telescope just like I did every night, for some reason I enjoyed Luna's night, it’s so beautiful, her stars and her moon was just beautiful. But then I saw something appear in the night sky like some kind of portal, but that was not the strangest thing, what frightened me the most was that something came out of the portal, I watched as the object fell out of the portal and crashed in the "THE EVERFREE FOREST!" I screamed. I got down to the library and opened the door. "I need to get to the forest as quickly as possible!" I said to myself. After about 10 minutes of galloping I was in front of the Evertree forest. Wait I need to get Fluttershy, she knows the Evertree forest better than I do. I thought. I ran as quickly as possible and before I knew it, I reached Fluttershy's cottage. I knocked on the door as hard as I could. "FLUTTERSHY WAKE UP! I NEED YOUR HELP!" I screamed. After about a minute of screaming and banging on the door, it finally opened and I saw a half awake Fluttershy in front of me. "Twilight what’s *yawn* going on" Fluttershy asked. "Fluttershy, no time to talk we need to go in the Evertree forest now!" "The Evertree forest why?" Fluttershy asked. "Just come with me and I’ll explain." I said. "Twilight I don’t think that’s a good WOAAAH!" I grabbed Fluttershy by her hoof and ran with her in to the Evertree forest. Ten minutes later....... "Twilight I really think we should go back." Fluttershy said while incredibly tired. "No Fluttershy whatever that thing was, I saw it out of that portal and landed here, we need to know if it’s dangerous." I explained. "A-alright Twilight if you say so." "Alright I think it crashed around here and-" Twilight was interrupted by a growling right behind her. Twilight never got to finish that sentence because a pack of timber wolves came up right behind them. "Eek what do we do now Twilight?" asked Fluttershy who was terrified. "I-I don't know, Somepony any pony help us!" We both screamed in unison. Ten minutes earlier. Raiden’s POV : I opened my eyes and looked around as I was still in a bit of shock to what happened. I instantly grabbed my sword and for some reason it was right where it belonged, which wasn't what I expecting. "What the hell?" I asked myself. "I thought Armstrong broke my sword in half?" I said out loud in confusion. And then I realized something, I wasn’t on the giant ass metal gear anymore, no I was in a forest? "What the hell is this bullshit?" I asked myself again. Then I heard something, I heard a scream, not just a normal scream no it was a scream of fear, a scream I had heard too many times. "Somepony anypony help us!" I heard someone scream. Wait somepony, anypony? Ah to hell with it. I got ready and I ran as quickly as possible, I used my ninja run to quicken the pass. When I arrived I saw something that I never expected, instead of woman surrounded by cyborgs, I saw ponies surrounded by wolves? Wolves that were made out of wood!? What the hell. But no matter how strange this seemed, I knew these pony's were in danger and I could see they were too weak to protect themselves so there was only one way to save them, kill the enemy, I vowed to protect the weak, even if I had to kill for it. "Hey over here you freaks of nature!" I screamed. I wasn’t afraid of these things i had faced greater threats then these puppy's. I unsheathed my sword and stood in a battle stance. The wolves quickly lost interest in the two pony's and started heading towards me. In a few seconds they had me surrounded. I smirked and I said a final few words before I cut these things to pieces, my visor clicked together. "I THINK ITS TIME TO LET ER RIP!" And that was the last thing those wolves heard, my blade cut through them like a knife through butter. I grabbed one wolf with my right and threw him into a tree with such force that he exploded, the other one leaped at me but I activated blade mode and sliced him into origami. Then I jumped in the air and vertically sliced one out of four instantly in half. I put my sword between my foot and spun around like a break-dancer on drugs. It only took me a few seconds before the rest of the wolves were nothing but sliced wood. I then sheathed my sword back where it belonged and walked to the two ponies. Twilight POV : I watched in both horror and awe as the creature cut the Timberwolves in pieces like it was nothing. Fluttershy had already fainted, and if it couldn't get any worse the creature started heading towards us! "Hey its okay I'm not going to hurt you." It said I was in shock, the creature could talk! And it talked Equestrian! "P-please don’t hurt us." I nearly managed to say without fainting. "You can talk?" It said. "Y-yes I-i can talk." I said. "What’s your name?" It asked. "Twilight S-s-sparkle." I said. "Twilight Sparkle, strange name." it said "Hey!" I said, louder then I wanted to. "Quite the spice in you." It said That was the final blow, after the creature said his last sentence I fainted and everything went black. Raiden POV : "Shit, i just wanted to asked were i was and now this! "Well i need to take these two to shelter before they both freeze to death. I thought. I picked both of them up and strangely enough they didn't weigh as much as i expected. "Alright lets get you two to safety." I thought to myself, after a few minutes of searching i found a cave and i put them down, i then went outside and chopped down a tree and started to collect some firewood. "Strange." I thought to myself, how did i get my sword back, and for some reason my visor is fixed as well. I went inside the cave and i set up a campfire, i then picked up the pony's and put them on some leaves i collected, "it wouldn't be nice of me to let them sleep on the ground now would it?" i said to no one particular They were fast asleep and i thought to myself, "how the hell did i end up here?" And with that thought i drifted of to sleep. The next day.... Raiden POV : I awoke early just as normal, the nightmares of my past still haunting me i couldn't help but to think back p to the day i killed Monsoon, the day that The Ripper was set free. Suddenly I heard some moaning and mumbling, and i assumed that the pony's were waking up. "*yawn* Twilight were *yawn*are we?" "I *yawn* don’t know Fluttershy." I said. "Good morning to you to." A low voice said. "Aaaah who said that, huh oh no its you, please don’t hurt us Mister Monster I was just watching the night sky and then all of a sudden you fell out of some kind of portal, I swear I just wanted to know what it was, please don’t hurt us." Twilight said. "Twilight who are you talking to....eek! What is that thing Twilight?" Fluttershy asked. I could see that these pony's were scared of me....I don’t blame them if they knew what i really was they would shit their pants, wait do pony's even wear pants? Ah fuck it. I thought. "Hey don’t worry your save now, those wolves are gone no need to panic." I said. "Y-you can talk?" I heard the pony with the pink mane ask. "Yes i can talk, now would you mind telling me where I am?" I asked. "Y-Y-You’re in the Evertree f-f-f-forest." The purple pony said. "Evertree forest what the hell kind of name is that, listen I know that I'm in a forest but were am I? Be more specific." I said getting a little irritated. "Well you’re in Equestria of course." The purple pond said. "Equestria, never heard of it, is it in the United States?" I asked. "The United what?" The yellow one asked. "Never mind, your name was Twinkle Sprinkle right?" I asked. "Twilight Sparkle." She said. At least I think she's female, She has a fen omen voice. I thought "Oh right sorry, but how is it that you can speak English?" I asked. "What's English, and how is it that you can speak Equestrian?" She asked. "I’m not speaking....aaaah never mind, listen all I know is that one day I'm fighting a senator on Nanomachines and the next thing I know I'm in some kind of fucking candy land." I shouted. "Uhmm guys?" I heard a soft voice say. "Huh oh right I haven’t introduced you to my friend, this is Fluttershy, Fluttershy meet....ehm I’m afraid I didn’t get your name." She said. Raiden. I replied. Raiden that’s an odd name, but never mind that, Raiden I would like you to meet my friend Fluttershy. She pointed to the yellow one. "Hello Fluttershy it’s a pleasure." I said. "Eek!" Was the only thing that came out of her, mhpff poor thing must be scared as hell. I thought. "Don’t worry I'm not going to hurt you I promise." I assured her. "Don’t worry about her Raiden she'll warm up to you eventually, and thank you for saving our lives from those Timberwolves how did you do it anyway?" She asked. "I killed them by using my.... tactics." I said. Suddenly Fluttershy's shy nature turned into one of pure rage. "YOU KILLED THEM?! YOU MONSTER WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY TO SCARE THEM AWAY! YOURE A MONSTER! MONSTER! KILLER! YOURE EVIL!" Fluttershy screamed. "FLUTTERSHY THATS ENOUGH!" Twilight screamed. "But Twilight he killed those poor wolves" Fluttershy screamed. "I'm sure that Raiden had a good reason for....killing those Timberwolves....right?" Twilight asked. "It was either you or them, i chose you don’t make me regret my decision, do you know if there is any kind of civilization around here? " I said. "Well the closest town is Ponyville of course." Said Twilight. 'Ponyville? What the hell kind of name is that for a town?' I thought. "Alright lets go then." I said. "Whoa wait a sec you cant just walk in and expect that everypony will ignore you, you will probably get the entire Royal Guard on your flank!" Twilight said. "Don’t worry I'm used to stealth if you know what I mean." I assured her. "No I don’t know what you mean." Twilight said. "Let’s just say that they won’t see me okay?" I assured her. "Alright I trust you, just don't go around and scare everypony." Twilight said. "Why, am I that ugly?" I asked "Ehm lets just say Ponyville has had some hard times, and....well the pony's get scared really fast, and think that if they would see you well you can guess what would happen next."Twilight said. "Alright I understand, lead the way." I said. "Okay lets go, Fluttershy are you coming?" Twilight asked. "Yes Twilight I’m coming." Fluttershy said. I swear I could hear her say something about me being a monster and she's right I am a monster, I'm am The Ripper. I thought. ........................................................................................................................ After about a twenty minute walk and Twilight bombarding me with questions about what I was and were I came from we finally arrived at the town, Ponyville if I remember correctly. "Were here!" Twilight said "Well here goes nothing." I said to myself. The town itself wasn't a big deal, it was like a Medieval town, just like Earths strange. I thought. After about ten minutes of stealth we arrived at our destiny and it was a tree!? 'Things are getting weirder here by the minute.' I thought. I simply shrugged it of and I went inside the library by jumping through an open window, 'How convenient.' I thought. "Raiden are you there?" I heard Twilight ask. "Yeah im in your bedroom I think!" I shouted. "My room! Oh my please get down here!" She asked with a little embarrassed tone. I heard Twilight shouting something about getting out of her room, so I just opened the door and walked down the stairs. *THUNCK* "AAHH SON OF A BITCH!!!!" I screamed. I forgot that this house was probably build on pony-size, so instead of me being smart I bumped my head on the ceiling. "Are you ok?" I heard Twilight ask. "Yeah I'm fine." I said. I didn't lie because I was fine, you know pain-inhibitors and stuff. "Alright Raiden, I'm going to get the rest of my friends and then we can sort this out ok." Twilight asked. "Alright i'll stay hidden in here mind if I read something?" I asked (oh yeah I forgot to mention Twilight lives in a freaking library!) "No not at all just....don't break anything." Twilight said. "Don't worry Twi I won’t." I said. "Did you just call me Twi?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, Twilight Sparkle is way to long you don't mind do you?" I asked. "N-no not at all." She said. I swear I could see her blush, but its probably my imagination. "Alright we'll be right back!" She said. After Twilight and Fluttershy left I sat down on the floor and I started to meditate. Twilight POV : I was running as fast as I could I need to get the others and tell them what happened! But while me and Fluttershy were running we heard somepony scream... "EVERYPONY RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" I heard a stallion scream. "AAAAAAAH!" Another screamed. "WHATS GOING ON!?" I asked. "Diamond Dogs, there raiding the entire village!" The stallion said. "Get everypony into safety, tell everpony to lock their doors and stay inside!" I ordered "Y-yes but what about you two!?" He asked. "We'll stop those Diamond Dogs. I said." "T-twilight, I don't think that’s a good idea." Fluttershy said. "Come on Fluttershy we need to help the other pony's, we can take these Diamond Dogs." I said. "A-alright if you say so." Fluttershy said. We ran towards the town square, and when we arrived, Appeljack and Rainbow Dash were already on the scene. "Look Dash its Twilight and Fluttershy." Appeljack shouted. "Sure took them long enough." Rainbow Dash shouted. "What’s going on?" I asked. "Ah don't know Twi, we were just ejoyin ourselfs when all of a sudden these Diamond Dogs showed up and startin to raid the village!" Appeljack said. "Yeah but we drove them back but they just won't give up!" Rainbow Dash added. "Alright everypony we have to stand our ground!" I shouted. "Yeah!" the others shouted in usion. But then all of a sudden Rainbow Dash was grabbed by a Diamond Dog and he grabbed her wings and then he threw her on the ground a loud "CRACK" was heard. "Owww my wing, I-I think it’s broken." Rainbow Dash said. All of a sudden our act of bravery was transformed in an act of foolishness, we were surrounded by at least twenty Diamond Dogs. "Girls if this is tha last time a'll ever see ya then I just want to say that is was great knowing ya'll." Applejack said. Then one of the Diamond Dogs came closer to us and it raised it sword, and we all prepares for the worst, i looked up and i saw his sword coming down, i closed my eyes and i started crying, and so did the others. "Is this really how its going to end?" I asked myself. I took one final glance at the Diamond Dog and I could see its sword getting closer and closer, it was like everything went in slow motion. I prepared for the pain to come but it didn't? I opened my eyes and i could see the Diamond Dog, but it looked different it had a blank expression on its face....and then all of a sudden it fell on the ground its body cut in half I looked at it and I immediatly started to vomit. When I was done i looked up and I could see something big and it walked on two hind legs and it was fighting the Diamond Dogs. "R-Raiden?" I asked to nopony particular. And then everything went black. Appeljack POV : Ah thought we were done for, but boy was ah wrong! When I thought that we were gonna get slaughtered, all of sudden this strange creature jumps in front o us and cut that Diamond Dog in half! Then it started killing the other ones as well, and maybe a minute later there were only 4 Diamond Dogs remainin, it was horrible this thing was far worse then those Diamond Dogs, he is takin them out like its nothin! I looked to ma right and a see that Rainbow Dash had already passed out, probaly because her wing was broken, and Fluttershy well she passed out before the creature arrived and Twilight "oh no Twilight!"I shouted "Twilight wake up!" I shouted. "No response, but seriously what in tarnation is thang!?" I shouted. I watched as the creature cut the last remaining Diamond Dogs to pieces one by one, and it kept saying somethin about keeping somethin in check, don't know what that’s supposed to mean. I couldn't hold in my breakfast and I vomited till there was nothin left in my tummy Eventually I fainted as well and I was afraid of what would happen next. Raiden POV : I was rudely awoken from my meditation as i heard screams of terror, screams i heard to often, i got up from the ground and exited the library, i used my ninja run to quick the pass. When I arrived at the town square, i saw what the commotion was all about, some kind Dog but that doesn't matter, these dogs were raiding the whole damn village, that was enough reason for me to take em out. "Hey doggy.... fetch!" I said as i unsheathed my sword and cut the dog that was going to kill Twilight in half. I then saw that there were two other pony's as well, one of them being badly injured. I saw that Twilight, Fluttershy and the blue pony had already fainted, poor things. I thought I quickly cut the remaining dogs to pieces and shouted something to the remaining four, "You are lucky I'm able to keep The Ripper in check!" I shouted. And those were the last things those dogs heard, i killed them as quickly as possible, I’m not saying i didn't enjoy it, but I’m not going to tell anyone that, wait what!. Where did that come from!? Damnit I'm not going to become The Ripper again! After the whole scene i quickly got a feeling I was being watched, and my feeling was right it appears that everyon-ehm I mean everypony was watching the whole scene. The pony's looked at me with either fear or horror, an awkward silence lasted for what felt like hours until I decided to break the silence. "Ehm how is everypony doing today?" I asked.
