Author's Note

I've been wanting to do this for a long time. Here goes nothing.

I hope you liked reading this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it.

From Earth to Equestria

Black Sabbath is a band first founded in 1968 by four friends from Birmingham, England. Tonight, after 44 years, the creators of Heavy Metal continued their careers. They were back in Birmingham for a gig.

"Man, I'm excited. Can't wait to entertain these people tonight!" Terrence Butler, the bassist, said.

"Me neither, mate," Bill Ward, the drummer replied.

"Nothing beats a home crowd," Tony Iommi, the guitarist, added.

Ozzy Osbourne, the singer, nodded. He half-jogged, half-walked onto the stage.

"I CAN'T FUCKIN' HEAR YOU!" Ozzy shouted to the crowd.

The crowd erupted with loud cheers.

"SABBATH! SABBATH! SABBATH!" they chanted.

"LET ME SEE YOUR FUCKIN' HANDS!" Ozzy continued egging on the crowd.

"Ready, boys?" Bill asked.

"Always." Terrence answered.

"ALRIGHT, TO START THIS GIG OFF, WE'RE GONNA DO A NUMBER CALLED INTO THE VOID !" Ozzy informed.

Tony began the opening riff, followed closely behind by Terrence's bass and Bill's drums. Ozzy began to sing. It sounded like this:

"THANK YOU! Now, this second number is called Symptom of the Universe. This is just to prove that old geezers like us can still rock," Ozzy joked.

Tony tuned his guitar and Terrence tuned his bass.

"Before we begin, let's hear it for the man who kept this band alive, Mr. Tony Iommi!" Ozzy smiled at his old friend, and clapped along with the crowd. Terrence and Bill joined in too.

"ALRIGHT, LET'S FUCKIN' DO THIS!" Ozzy shouted, and the opening riff began. Bill's drumming was right on queue. Terrence was steadily playing his background riff.

Ozzy began to sing again. This time, it sounded much heavier:

"THANK YOU VERY MUCH! NOW FOR OUR THIRD SONG! This is a song called Age of Reason! It's from our newest album, called 13," Ozzy explained.

Bill started off with his drums, followed closely behind by Tony and Terrence. Ozzy began to sing not long after that.

Their third performance sounded something like this:

It had been cloudy the entire evening, but the meteorologist claimed there'd be no rain. Needless to say, he was wrong. Of course the one time it decides to rain, they're in an outdoor arena.

"Oh, for fuck's sake!" Bill groaned.

"What's going on with that cloud?" Terrence asked, pointing at a cloud that was swirling like a vortex. A bolt of lightning struck the stage. Everything went black.

Ozzy awoke first. Something was strange about where he was. Ozzy was no longer on the stage.

'Where the fuck am I?' the Prince of Darkness thought.

Tony woke up next.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I don't know," Ozzy shrugged.

"Bill and Geezer are still unconscious," Tony pointed out.

"I hope they're not dead," Ozzy was worried.

Terrence stirred. "Ah, shit! What happened? Where are we?" he asked.

"No clue. Bill is still unconscious," Tony replied.

"Nudge him," Ozzy said.

Geezer kicked him lightly,"Get up, mate," he told him.

Bill's eyes shot open. "Are we still in Birmingham?" he asked when he sat up.

"I don't think so," Tony answered.

"Well, we may as well walk around and try to figure this shit out," Terrence said.

"Beats sitting around like a bunch of fucking knobheads,"Ozzy laughed.

"Let's ask for directions," Bill offered.

"Alright, lead the way," Ozzy and his three friends proceeded to walk around the area. Eventually, they stumbled upon a building with several people wandering around it. Their skin was many different colors, including purple.

"OH, SHIT! Its the fuckin' Purple People-Eater," Ozzy laughed when he saw a girl with purple skin and a hairstyle that was a slightly darker purple with pink highlights.

Before she could say anything, a girl with pink skin and hair ran up.

"Aww, man! Twilight met the new people first!" she groaned.

"Well, one of them called me the Purple People-Eater," Twilight sighed.

Ozzy stifled a laugh.

"So, who are you guys anyway?" the pink girl asked.

"My name is Ozzy, to my left is Tony, behind him is Bill, and behind me is Terrence," Ozzy answered.

"Nice to meet you Ozzy, I'm Pinkie Pie!", the pink girl introduced.

"Yeah... nice to meet you too, now can someone or something tell me where the fuck we are?" Ozzy pushed his circular sunglasses back up.

"Well, someone's got a vulgar mouth. You're in Canterlot," Twilight replied.

"Oh, Canterbury! We're still in England then," Tony breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, Canter-LOT!", Twilight corrected.

"What the fuck's a Canterlot?" Bill sighed

"It's the name of this town," Terrence replied.

"Oh. Well, shit," Bill laughed.

"So, where are you guys from?" Pinkie asked.

"We're from Birmingham," Tony answered.

"Alabama?" she asked.

"No, god damn it, Birmingham, ENGLAND!" Ozzy sighed and facepalmed.

"What country are we even in?" Bill asked.

"Equestria. You're in the capital city, Canterlot," Pinkie answered.

"How many people live here?",
Tony asked trying to count heads as people walked by.

"About a thousand. Maybe two," Twilight replied.

"Oh, wow. That's it?" Terrence asked.

"What do you mean 'That's it?', Terrence?",Pinkie asked.

"Well, our capital city, London, back in England has over eight million people," Terrence replied.

"WOW! EIGHT MILLION? LET'S MOVE THERE, TWILIGHT! SO MANY FRIENDS TO MAKE!" Pinkie squealed.

"But we don't even know where England is. It might not even be on this planet!" Twilight sighed.

"We're not on Earth?" Ozzy asked as if it were a surprise.

"Nope. Equestria the planet, Equestria the country, Canterlot the city. There's more to this place than just Equestria though. We have Gryphon Territory, and the Badlands. Nobody ever goes to the Badlands though," Twilight replied.

"Badlands sounds like my kind of place," Ozzy smirked.

"No. Ozzy. Badlands are bad, for lack of a better term," Twilight sighed.

"I've been the Prince of Darkness since 1979! I know bad when I see it," Ozzy laughed.

"Prince of Darkness?" Twilight backed up a few steps.

"It's a stage name. We're a band called Black Sabbath," Bill said.

"Ooh, ooh! Ozzy sings, Bill plays drums, Terrence plays bass guitar, and Tony plays electric," Pinkie said, breaking the fourth wall as usual.

"H-how'd you know that?" Tony laughed.

"Just a hunch," Pinkie smiled.

"Ozzy, I think we might have met someone crazier than you," Bill joked.

"Bollocks! I'm the craziest person in the world," Ozzy counter-joked.

"Well, let's go to my house. We can introduce these new friends to our friends," Pinkie was excited by her idea.

"Okay. I'm not sure if Rarity and Fluttershy will approve of their language though," Twilight laughed.

"English is English," Ozzy retorted.

"Well, let's go!" Pinkie shouted.

Black Sabbath and Twilight Sparkle followed Pinkie to her house.

"I'll call the other friends. Be right back!" Pinkie skipped up the stairs.

"So, who are these friends? I remember you saying the names Rarity and Fluttershy?" Terrence asked.

"Well, there's six of us. Seven if you count Sunset Shimmer. Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Sunset Shimmer. You've already met Pinkie and I," Twilight said.

"Are your other friends as crazy as she is?" Bill asked.

"Nope. Pinkie is one of a kind," Twilight laughed.

Pinkie slid down the stair rail and ran into her living room.

"They're coming!" Pinkie said.

"Alright. Oh, and I forgot to mention. We're a band too. Called the Rainbooms," Twilight said.

About ten minutes later, the rest of the Mane Six (and Sunset Shimmer) arrived.

"Who's the guitar guy? I wanna see how good he is," the blue one with rainbow hair said.

"That'd be me. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Unfortunately, when the swirling cloud vortex teleported us here, our instruments were left behind. Except Ozzy's, since he sings," Tony explained.

"You were sent here by a cloud?" the redneck one asked.

"Yeah. We were performing at a gig and after the third song, it began to rain. A bolt of lightning struck the stage and we woke up here," Bill answered.

"Well, I go through a mirror to get here. I'm from a parallel universe where people are horses," Twilight admitted.

"That sounds fucking insane!" Ozzy laughed.

"Umm, if you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it if you didn't use that kind of language," the yellow girl with pink hair said.

"Sorry, bit of a habit," Ozzy shrugged.

"Tony, you can use my guitar, but don't break it!" the blue girl said.

"Break a guitar? Well, I'd never!" Tony sighed.

"Good. By the way, my name's Rainbow Dash," the guitar girl introduced.

"Alright, Rainbow. I'll be careful with your guitar," Tony promised.

"You guys have a bass guitar and drumset? I think you'll like how the four of us play," Bill asked.

"Bill, you can play my drums, they're in the garage," Pinkie invited.

"You girls are a garage band?" Ozzy was impressed.

"We're not heavy, but we can rock," Rainbow said.

"Sunset, you're so quiet. Say something, dear," the ghostly white girl said.

"Huh? Oh, sorry. I'm Sunset Shimmer. That's Rarity with the purple hair, Fluttershy has the long pink hair, and Applejack has the awesome hat," she replied.

"Well, I can remember your names, at least. I might get you girls mixed up," Terrence laughed.

"Well, let's hear you play!" Rainbow shouted.

"Alright, alright. We're going to borrow your instruments right quick," Bill said.

The seven girls and four men walked into the garage. A purple and green dog was in there and he ran to Twilight.

"Hey, everyone," he said.

"I thought I quit drugs. Is that dog talking, or did I manage to get high without realizing it?" Ozzy asked.

"I'm talking. My name's Spike," he introduced himself.

"This is the weirdest place ever. It's like I'm in a cartoon," Ozzy laughed.

"Well, I still haven't heard y'all play. I'm not rushin' anyone, I'm just sayin'," Applejack said.

Ozzy walked up to the microphone. He tapped it to make sure it was on. Bill went and sat down at Pinkie's drumset. Tony, who had been carrying Rainbow's guitar the whole time, walked over and stood to the left of Ozzy. Terrence walked over to Applejack's bass, to the right of Ozzy, and picked it up.

The four men began to play. It sounded like this:

After they were done, the girls clapped.

"You guys are as good as you said!" Rainbow laughed.

"I'd say it puts Flash Sentry to shame," Applejack laughed.

"Really, AJ?", Twilight sighed.

"Sorry," she shrugged.

"Now, how well can you girls play?" Tony asked.

"I don't mean to brag, but we're pretty darned good," Rainbow laughed.

"We'll listen. Consider it a 'Thank you' for letting us use your instruments," Bill said.

"Alright, hit it, girls!", Rainbow shouted.

The girls began to play their selective instruments. Rainbow began to sing. The Rainbooms sounded a little something like this:

After the girls stopped, the four men of Black Sabbath seemed to be at loss for words.

"What the hell was that?" Ozzy asked.

"You didn't like it?" Rainbow answered with a question.

"No, the song was fine, but you grew like...wings and shit," Ozzy laughed.

"Oh, yeah, that. It's nothing," Rainbow lied.

"So, I'm just seeing things again?" Ozzy sighed.

"I reckon," Applejack replied.

"Well, the song wasn't that bad. I've heard worse," Bill said.

Terrence laughed and nodded.

"Well, the guitar was good. In my honest opinion, that's all that was good. The instrumental," Tony admitted.

"Thanks for the constructive criticism," Fluttershy replied.

"You're welcome," Tony shrugged.

"Well, it's getting late. We should all go home," Rarity said.

"Damn, time flies in this dimension," Terrence said, looking at his watch. It said: "21:30".

"Well, have a good night, y'all," Applejack waved goodbye and walked away.
The rest of the Mane Six, except Pinkie Pie followed her out. Sunset Shimmer wasn't far behind.

"Well, I'm going up to bed. The only place left for y'all to sleep is the living room. You guys can crash on the couch, and the floor. Good night. Try not to wake my sister, Maud," Pinkie said.

"Alright," Bill replied.

"No problem," Tony added.

Terrence and Ozzy said nothing, and simply nodded.

"Well, there's a couch and two recliners. Which one is gonna sleep on the floor?" Ozzy asked.

"I'll sleep on the floor," Bill offered.

"Well, that settles it. Good night, gents," Tony said.

The four friends went to their respective places and fell asleep.
