How and Why?
Chapter 1: What the fuck happened?
Load Full StoryNext Chapter*Ok, i'm in the middle of a clearing.* I think to myself as I survey my surroundings. Firstly; i'm in the middle of a grassy field, in the distance there a little town with medieval-looking houses next to a forest. I make a mental note to check that place out. Right now, my body is of importance. *Human bo-* My brain freezes when I take a look at my body. It is covered in what looks like golden plates. I immediately go to the nearest pond which was not far from where I appeared, wherever I was. I look at reflection in shock. *I look like my Minecraft character!* I thought, first I noticed the lack of a human face, just one white dot in the center with one eyebrow above it. *Must be my 'eye' and the eyebrow must be my only way of expressions, I literally look like a golden robot now.* I make another mental note to find a mirror to look at my body, and another to see if the MC menu can be opened if there is one.
*Now, to check out that town I saw.* I start to walk towards the town, as I get closer what I saw made me freeze in my tracks. Ponies, fucking technicolor ponies! *Holy shit, i'm definitely in the land of Equestria.* If I had a human face, it would be grinning like a madman. I'm in fucking Equestria! What brony wouldn't excited at that? It's basically every brony's dream to be here. I didn't mention that i'm a brony? Well... now you know. Anyway, now that i'm over the initial fan-girl excitement, I calmly walk over a hill that overlooked the small town. As I enter the town entrance, the first thing to happen is what you wouldn't expect the ponies around me just stopped dead in the tracks to look at me. If I was still human, I would be shiting bricks at this point. After a couple of minutes of awkward silence, I finally gather enough courage to say something. "Hi...." My voice sounded metallic, like what you expect in a movie. The ponies flinched, as if they weren't expecting me to say anything. *Things are going good so far...* I thought, just as I finished that thought, a certain pink mare appeared right in front of me. *How the fuck did she get there without me seeing her?* May have one eye, but said eye gave me a wide viewing angle. Wider that the average human. So it was VERY hard to sneak up on me if you plan to use front-facing blind spots.
"HI! I'm Pinkie Pie!" She yells. "What's your name?" I think for a moment. *Since no one, or pony in this case, knows me, might as well give myself i new name.*
"My name is Golden Streak." That is all Pinkie needed apparently, because as soon as I said that, she bolted off. *Most likely to plan my 'Welcome to Ponyville' party.* With that, the denizens resume whatever they were doing. Apparently, they thought I was just another creature of the Everfree. I had to question that though, would a being like me, made of gold, be living in the Everfree forest? Anyway. The first thing I do since mass chaos didn't break out, is to look for the town library.
*Okay, how to find Golden Oaks... Maybe...* A light bulb lit up in my head; Do I have rocket feet? I started to think of ways to activate them, if had any. When I thought 'rocket feet on' the bottoms of my feet and hands began to blow smoke. *Awesome. I wonder if thinking it to be on and off works..* When i said in my head 'Rocket feet off,' the smoke stopped. Cool, now I know how to turn stuff on and off.* I turn the rockets off and slowly start to ascend. A few seconds later i'm about twenty feet off the ground. *Good, now, how to move...* I lean forward, and surprisingly, I begin to move forward, and I learned the more I learn faster I go. The same applied when to bank in a certain direction. After flying around for a bit, I decided to see how resilient my body is by making a hard landing. The resulting impact left a small crater and a mini earthquake. *Huh... It seems that being made of gold adds weight, but dragon-like resilience.*
Another idea pops into my metallic head; *What if there is something to open my inventory?* As soon as I say that in my head, a gold plate that I hadn't noticed
on my left arm opens to display the MC menu. Turns out it's touchscreen. And I can chose which hotspot box to use for each of my hands. *I'm going to have so much fun later.* I should note right now that the inventory menu is modded with tabs of the modpack I use when I played MC a lot (The Hexxit Modpack). And apparently, I left it in creative mode.So that means the other tabs for the mods are open. One could only imagine the manic grin i would have on my face. At this point I know that I AM indestructible. I made sure of that by surrounding myself in obsidian and setting off one block TNT. When it didn't kill me or hurt me in any way, I knew nothing can kill me. Now that I had that overwith, I decided to head for main hall to see what will happen, according to the show, if it's relevant to the show. One good clue I got is how Pinkie reacted to me. That kinda puts it at season one; episode one. As i'm looking around, a spy chariot in the sky. That rhymed, huh... cool, anyway. I make my way over to the general area where the chariot would land.
As soon as they landed and noticed me getting closer, the guards immediately had their spears to my neck. It would have threatening if was able to die. Right now it was just entertaining to watch them defend Twilight and Spike. I think there was awkward silence when I broke it.
"Ummm... hi? I mean you no harm, I simply wish to welcome you to Ponyville." *Even though i'm not a resident, yet.* The guards didn't move, at all, it was kinda creepy. It was only when Twilight told them to stand down, which they did, reluctantly.
"Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle, and I don't believe i've seen or heard of anypony, or anything like you, in Equestria. What exactly are you?"
"Hello and welcome Twilight Sparkle. You, or anyone for that matter, probably haven't seen anything like me because I come from a far away land unknown to Equestria, what I am is what my people go by; Robot. Or artificial intelligence if you want to get fancy."
"Well, it doesn't matter, I need to make quick preparations for the Summer sun celebration." she says. She seems to be in a hurry, I wonder why...
"You mind if I join you? I kinda want to see the town better." I did want to take a good look around the town, plus I was getting bored of walking around.
"Well..... as long as you don't get in my way, i'm fine with you coming along." Anyone could tell she was in a hurry, and I knew exactly why, which is why I said,
“You know of the prophecy of the mare on the moon too, don't you?”
“How did you…?”
“I just recently read up on Equestrian Mythology, and I read this prophecy. The very same night I started to see the stars begin to align with the moon. She is coming Twilight. And I am willing to help if you would allow me.” I had to make up that part about reading Equestrian Mythology, Twilight and Spike had faces of surprise. Twilight was the first to recover.
“Follow me.” I nodded in confirmation. All three of us walked in silence, until Spike broke it.
“So, Golden Streak, what exactly ARE you?” I responded with.
“Have any of you two heard or read of humans and/or robots?”
“We have read about humans in Ancient Equestrian Mythology, but nothing about row-bots.” At this I mentally frown, *Time for some lecturing* I then begin to explain how a robot like me is a machine with a free-thinking mind, at least they knew what artificial intelligence is. Would’ve been a fuckin’ pain in the ass to explain that to a sapient pony.
We arrive at Sweet Apple Acres in less time than I expected. *I guess time flies when you're lecturing someone, or somepony in this case.* I also noticed the lack of aching feet from walking that long. *I guess that means I'll never get tired again. Awesome. As we near the entrance to the farm, we happen to see Applejack apple-bucking. We walk up to her and Twilight is the first to speak.
“Hello my name is Twilight Sparkle-” Before she can say anything else Applejack Shakes Twilight’s hoof furiously with both of her hooves. How Twilight kept her foreleg is a mystery to me, after Applejack gives her greetings and Spike stops Twilight from shaking so much, Aj introduced us to whole fucking family. And funny thing is, every single one of their names was a name for an apple related pastry. A few, hundred, minutes later, we walk back towards town with Twilight looking like she's pregnant. I voice my observation and Twi reacts as follows; She blushes and splutters whatever she was saying, then looking at me with a face of shock/embarrassment.
"Why did you say that?! I then proceed to roll around on the floor laughing my ass off, meanwhile Spike looks at me with a face contorted in confusion. Guess the joke went right over his head.
"Relax Twilight, it was just a joke." I say in between chuckles.
"Whatever, lets just get on with the list. Let's see what's next. Weather needs to be clear for Princess Celestia's arrival."
"Doesn't look so clear to me..." I say as we look up into a cloudy sky. I get the sudden feeling to step aside. As I do so, Twilight Looks at me with a confused look.
"Why did y-" She couldn't finish that question as a rainbow colored blur slams into Twilight, drive them both into a mud puddle. Me and Spike start to laugh are asses off. As Rainbow and Twi separate themselves from each other. Rainbow chuckles a bit, says 'sorry' lamely. Rainbow takes one look at me, actually, she does this thing that I would call a triple-take.
"What the hay are you?!" Twi answers that for me.
"He is he calls himself a robot. A machine with an intelligent mind."
"Yeah, pretty much." "That still doesn't explain what you're doing here."
"I wish I could tell you myself." I say, I really have no idea what or how I got here. I was in the middle buying shit at a Family Dollar, and then i find myself in the middle of a fucking grass field. Anyway,
"Whatever, you look awesome anyway. Now lets help this one out." She refers to Twi, who is still covered in mud. Later we're at town hall, and Twi's hair... how can I even describe it? Oh yeah! She looks like she went through a tornado. Now, as we enter town hall, I am immediately drawn to all the decor. It was amazing!
"She's beautiful!"
"I know right? The decor is amazing!" Wait, isn't this where-
"No, not that! Her...." He points to a white coated mare with an indigo mane and tail.
*Why don't I see this kinda shit coming?!* I yell in the inside of my golden head. And no I will not stop it with calling my body parts metallic or golden.
"Oh, you mean Rarity." Fucking shit, did I just really say that? "How did you know her name?" God damnit. Well, I kinda wanted that to happen, don't ask why, sometimes I like to be weird and creepy.
"Lets just say that I know more about this place than any living thing should know about this place, Twilight Sparkle." I use her name to great effect. It certainly makes her take a step away from me, but whatever, at least I didn't scare her off. As soon as Rarity comes out of her 'zone' and takes a look at us. She makes a shrill little squeal in shock. *Three, two, one...*
"What happened to your mane!? It looks horrid!"
"My mane? Oh, that's a long story." This is when Rarity decided to fix Twi's mane and give her a new out fit, or two, or three, or a hundred. I was getting tired of a whole fashion show for one mare.
"Would you mind letting us go? We're kinda in a hurry..." As soon as those words left my... wherever my voice comes from. She freezes and looks at me, I might as well have been a pony with two heads. Cause' that's the kinda look Rarity had on her face. A few awkward moments pass before she speaks.
"Excuse me... uh..."
"Sir."
"Of coarse, ehh... what are you and are you made of gold?" You can see the tiniest twinkle of excitement in her eyes when she asked that last part. Twilight explained the part where i'm a robot. When I answer the second part of her question in the positive.
Her eyes practically went all stars when I answered.
"You're made of GOLD! I simply MUST know where you hail from!" *Time to have some fun...*
"Why? Just so you can kidnap my people and turn them into money or clothes?! I think NOT!" I wondered why I was actually getting really mad, also, I felt something starting to build up in my very being,I can't describe it, but it felt like raw power, weird. I blame the media. Twi told me later that my eye turned a blood-red color, she just said red but when I look back at it the edges of my vision were tinted red, said tint looked like misty blood.
"That's not what I meant sir, uh... what i meant was..." Her sentence was lost on her when I burst out laughing, So did Spike.
"Wow Rarity, you really need to loosen up! I was only joking with you! And the name's Golden Streak." After a while my laughing died down and I apologized for scaring her. A few minutes of getting back back into the swing of things and... stuff. We bid her good day and headed our way to Fluttershy's, she's taking care of the music for the celebration. Later while walking, or trotting along for Twi, apparently my pace is a little fast, being a biped and all. Anyway, we started to hear birds singing in unison.
"That way." I point to a random bush. Turns out I have better hearing than the average pony. *This body just keeps getting better by the minute!* We follow the melodic chirping to a little clearing in a park, where Fluttershy was orchestrating a quire of song birds. It was beautiful to listen to, until Twi decided to interrupt the session. I can see and hear Twilight and Fluttershy from where me and Spike are. But I don't think I need to describe what happened.
"Hello! I'm Twilight Sparkle... what's your name?"
"I'm Fluttershy."
"I'm sorry, diiidn't quite catch that."
"I'm Fluttershy." So yeah,I couldn't stand watching this so shoved Spike out in front of them. Fluttershy completely forgot about her shyness and shoved Twi over to praise Spike. While that was going on, i went over to Twi to help her up.
"Thank you." "No problem." As soon I utter those words, Fluttershy froze as she looked at me. Clearly terrified.
"Hey Fluttershy, I was just accompanying Twilight with preparations, no need to be scared." I say this as softly as I could, I even hear my own voice change to sound softer and less metallic. This seemed to be working though, as Fluttershy didn't seem utterly terrified of me, just a bit wary. I crouch down to not seem so intimidating. All this was working to help Fluttershy, as she started to slowly trot towards me.
"See? I'm not a bad guy." Fluttershy finally says something.
"Um, you seem like a nice creature."
"Thank you Flutters." She blushes when I call her Flutters, it was so cute!
"Twilight, we should get going, if you know what I mean..." I say in my normal voice. *So, I have a voice module that can change my voice, that'll come in handy later... hehehe....*
"Oh? Oh! Yes! We need to head to the library, now!" We then run off towards Golden Oaks Library. But before we go inside, I grab Twi by the tail.
"Hey! What was that for!?"
"Shhhh, there are others inside."
"How do you know?" I quickly explain that there is apparently some type of radar that allows me to see beyond solid walls.
"And I see a bunch of ponies inside. And I know why."
"And why is that?"
"Remember that pink mare who saw you, gasped and ran off?"
"Yes, I remember her, what about her?"
"Well, her name is Pinkie Pie, and she planned a surprise party for the both of us."
"Why, would she do that?" "To welcome us to Ponyville. Oh, and a bit of a warning: look at what you're drinking and don't get bothered by rambling. It actually helps if you listen to her."
"Okaaayyy..." We begin to start walking towards the library again.
*THIS is going to be SOOOO much fun...*
