//-------------------------------------------------------// The Element of Honor! -by DescriptionNotNeeded- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// When a Human is Summoned! //-------------------------------------------------------// Author's Note Quick note: Last story went missing and I don't have a fucknugget clue where it went. When a Human is Summoned! "Cole come on, we gotta get to lesson." Jack said grabbing my arm and jerking. The sudden movement almost makes me trip. "Fuck off! It's only Cel. And were watching a movie anyway." I said. We were meant to be watching an educational movies about the surfaces of different planets. I was always late to boring lessons like that. We didn't need them anyway, we had already finished out tests for the year. "It's Miss Cel, Cole. Don't be so informal." Jack lectured. He was an A plus student in everything. Me myself I was a A student in most lessons, but I didn't aim anywhere for myself. "Whatever Mr. Magical World!" I said in a mocking tone. We called him that because of his shows that he watches. "I'd wish you'd stop calling me that." He said. I didn't really care what he wanted me to do. His fault for showing me in the first place. We walked up to the door of what is our lesson. "Whatever were here now!" I said a bit too loudly, we just ruined out dramatic entrance. Jack opened the door first and went straight to the teacher. "Sorry I'm late Miss Cel." I went and sat at the back of the classroom in my seat. The classroom was already dark, guess they were about to put the movie on. "And you?" Miss Cel asked me. I didn't really care about being late to this lesson. "Not really sorry!" I just sat there waiting for the movie to come on. She just scowled as Jack took his seat next to me. The movie came on and I just stared out the window. Jack leaned over to me and said." You really need to respect people more." He said in a stern tone. I didn't want to care, but he was pretty much the only person that would stick by me. This was the last lesson of the day and we were going hunting after school. About 20 minutes later Jack was looking down to what I presume was his phone. It was emitting a light that was getting brighter slowly. No one else was looking at him because we was at the back. "Miss Cel, I feel sick. Can I go down to the nurses office?" She dismissed him absentmindedly. "Cole, come for me tonight I'm still going." I nodded to him. I think the only reason no one saw him was because we were at the back alone. There was only one other person who sat there. A girl named Alysha. She went missing a few days ago. The last thing we ever saw of her was she was on her phone in lesson. The teacher called her out because of it and she said she felt sick. We never managed to see her again after that. Later that night her parents declared her missing. It does sound like what's happening to Jack right now. I realised what was going to happen just then, I got up and left the classroom without anyone noticing. Crap, where did he go? He said the nurses office. I ran across the school where the nurses office was. He wasn't in the nurses office. My phone vibrated as I was walking out of the nurses office. It was from Jack: Just went home, I'm still up for hunting though. I took a deep breath and relaxed. My friends wouldn't go missing. He was too smart for that, he knew he couldn't survive without his mom constantly making him home cooked foods. I looked at the clock, it was five minutes until the end of the day. I wouldn't be home in the next five minutes anyway so I decided to go home a tad bit early. I walked out of the front entrance unnoticed, it's not like I was sneaking around like Splinter Cell it's just that no one noticed me. I walked off the school premises and went over to the bike rack. Me and Jack usually put out bikes next to each others, but since he was already gone I had no bike next to mine. I had a red bmx that rode fast, even with that I couldn't beat Jack on his mountain bike. He was pretty much better in every subject except surviving in the wilderness. So I wanted to teach him how to do that. It doesn't bother me that he is better than me at a lot of things, I'm actually proud of him. He is quite modest and doesn't boast. I got on to my bmx and rid across a field nearby I wanna get home as fast as I can so I can pack my stuff for tonight. It took me about seven minutes to get home so I was pretty much after the school bell. I opened the door and greeted my mom and then went upstairs to pack. I ran into my room and changed immediately into my hunting clothes. My hunting clothes were pretty much these: I had a pair of camo bottoms which were waterproofed by moi, a normal black t shirt and a big camo jacket the was insulation on the inside with charcoal to keep it warm. And a pair of standard boots that had just been polished. I grabbed my air rifle which was a .22 with a synthetic barrel and a badass skellington stock. I put that into its homemade case which fit onto the back of the jacket. I also grabbed my knife which was a beautiful bastard that had it's very own set of blacked out teeth with a spike that is able to be pulled out of the bottom of the handle. I was ready now, I ran down the stairs of my house and ran out of the door without saying bye to anyone. I made it to Jack's house with a new world record for a marathon. Just kidding although that would've been cool that didn't happen. The plants in his garden were dead and the bricks looked like they were about to crumble. Man, if I didn't come here often I'd think this place were haunted. Although his plants being dead is a bit weird he loves them. I knocked on the door and didn't get an answer, I looked through his window but I couldn't see anything because the lights were off. I was about to knock again when I got a text. I pulled my phone out of the tight waterproof pocket and read the message. Jack: Just come up. Got something cool to show you! ;) I texted him back saying : Cole: I swear if you jump me, I'll throw you out of your window! I opened his door and walked in. The wallpaper was tore off the wall. "Hi, is it painting day?" I shouted up, I would usually shout something witty up but there was nothing I could think of. I walked into his room and saw he wasn't there, he had left his lamp on though. I walked over to his bed and sat on it. I got my phone out and texted him. Where are you? I'm in your room! I looked around and saw a four black rocks and 2 scorch marks. There was a Dollar sign with the word greed imbedded into it. There was a Dagger with the word Deception. A Pair of wings with the word Treachery. And there was a sword and shield, which was odd among these. I looked on the wall near the desk and it had the words scorched into it. 'To balance out their world' That was really creepy. I stepped back accidentally stood on something. It cause me to trip up and hit my head on the floor. My vision was going blurry, I was still able to see the words on the roof. 'Is it Honor or Chaos?' I jumped to my feet and tried to walk. Instead of moving I stumbled into the desk and knocked the rocks off. I picked them up one by one and put them back onto the desk. When I grabbed the sword and shield I immediately threw it back down. I burnt my hand on it. I looked at my palm apart from it being red, it had the faint outline of a 'H' and on the other side of the palm an 'r'. This was fucking creepy now. I ran out of Jack's house and across the street before getting my phone out. What did you do to your room? That was creepy as shit. I kept my phone out to see if he would text back. It kept becoming harder to see as it was starting to go brighter. I kept my phone in my hand as I was walking through the entrails of the woods back home. I kept walking checking my phone every minute to ensure that he hadn't texted back , but each time I saw it was brighter. I stopped on a rock nearby a lake to make sure my phone wasn't broke. It wasn't until then I realised that it wasn't my phone glowing but my hands. It must be Jack's room that did this. There is no way it wasn't, it could be radiated in that room and thats why I'm glowing. Thats obviously better that mutating, but if I don't stop glowing I'll make people blind. I was in a state of denial blaming it on anything I could. No admitting I was becoming something off the Twilight saga. I tried to stand up, but it was no use to me. The soil near the rock was weak so it just slip from underneath me taking me into the lake nearby. My body was numb, I had a need to breath, like I was suffocating. I tried to open my eyes, but all I got was a stinging sensation. The feeling to my body was coming back and I realised I was wet. I had fell into a lake and passed out. How I wasn't dead I didn't know, but I'll take life over death most days. I swam up quickly to the surface and took a deep breath of air to refill my lungs. I was treading the water to make sure I wouldn't sink again. I forced my eyes open until the stinging and the blur was gone. Once they had subsided I saw I wasn't near an edge, I was in the middle of the lake. I didn't recognise anywhere where I could have fell in and I sure as hell didn't remember the lake being this big. I swam to an edge to get out and see where I was and where I needed to go. I looked around, but only found trees that looked charred. I didn't actually have a clue where I was. For what I know this isn't even the same town as the one my home was in. My ears started to empty the water out that was in them and I was able to hear again. I heard nothing, it was silent. I waited to hear a bird around, but there was none. I sat down near the edge of the lake and checked my air rifle it was still working properly. It was like no water had got into it. The reason I didn't take my clothes off to dry then is because it was warm outside and they were already drying on their own. It didn't feel like Autumn like it was, but felt warm like the end of spring. I looked at the sky and the sun was in a position where it was almost seven o'clock. It was almost about to go dark soon. I needed a fire going. I grabbed some dry rocks and stick from the forest before heading back to the lake. Before I got to the lake I heard a faint scream. I put it off to being just wind blowing through leaves, but then I heard it again much louder. It was getting closer. About 10 seconds later a bush rattled and a screaming mint green pony jumped through. Thats right it was screaming. It ran over to me and I got into a fighting stance. "Help...me!" She said completely out of breath. It fucking spoke. It fucking spoke. Since when do ponies fucking speak. Another bush rustling caused me to jump. At the same time as I jumped a lion jumped out of the bush. This lion had a scorpion tail and wings. Since about when Manticores existed Right now I couldn't be shocked anymore I was just worrying about the manticore in front of me. I couldn't run because it was faster, I couldn't climb a tree because of its tail and wings. The only way we could walk away alive was to take it down. "Get in the water!" I commanded the mint green unicorn that was whimpering behind me. She did as I said straight away. I pulled out my knife and I was ready to take the manticore. I couldn't shoot my air rifle from here because we was too close and it wouldn't kill it. I had my knife in hand when the manticore charged. I sidestepped out of the way and slashed it's wing. It wouldn't be able to fly now. It tried to stab me with it's tail but I dodged it. The tail was a big problem assuming it had poison in it. The manticore was charging at me from the other side and I tried to sidestep again. Unfortunately that failed when it flared it's wings and hit me with them. I did the only thing I could do in that situation that wouldn't get me killed. I grabbed on. I managed to climb onto it's back, but now it was running around madly. The only time I could get the kill was now. I mashed my blade into where I presumed it's spine was, but it didn't get paralyzed. Instead it flapped its one working wing and knocked me into a tree. I sat against the tree and waited, there was one more chance to get the kill if I did it right. I had pulled the spike out of the handle of the knife and since the knife was stuck in its back I couldn't use that. The manticore slowly approached me as I lay limp with my spike in hand. I waited for it to get close enough, but it was taking it's time. When it eventually got close enough it thought I was dead. It opened its jaw and roared victory over another predator. The manticore celebrated a bit too early because when it roared I stuck my spike through the top of its mouth and straight into it's brain killing it instantly. I pulled the spike out of its mouth and the knife out of its back and wiped them clean on its fur coat. I walked over to the lake where the unicorn was quivering in shallow water. "You can come out now!" I said a bit too loudly because the unicorn jumped. Her shaking slowly subsided but she didn't turn around. "Is it dead?" She asked in a quiet voice. I changed my tone for her to a quiet one. "Yes. You're safe now." I whispered. "Can I ask you a question?" The mint green pony turned around and answered. "Yes." I asked the question that I needed to ask as she walked out the lake. "Since you're a unicorn can you do magic?" I asked for two reasons. One of them being if I ever got back to Earth I would tell Jack about how theres a world with magic. "Yes why?" She asked curiously. The second reason was this. "Well if I died out her I wouldn't want to be eaten by a load of vultures." I said. The air went solemn as I asked my next question. "So do you have any fire magic?" I asked. It seemed she got the point because she went over to the dead manticore and started to cremate it. We watched as the predator burned away into the atmosphere and into ash. After that was done I walked over to one of the trees and started to carve something into it. I stopped carving half way through and looked at the pony. She must have got what I was doing when she looked at the tree. "Goliath." Yeah that was good. Once I had finished carving it said: Rest In Peace. Goliath. I sat down near the lake and stayed silent for a while. The mint pony came over to me and sat down next to me. "Thanks for saving me...." When she paused in the middle of her sentence I was a bit confused before I realised I had not told her my name. "Cole." "Cole, I'm Lyra!" She said enthusiastically. Probably because she had been given a second chance at living. But at another creatures expense. "I don't mean to offend you, but what exactly are you?" She asked the understandable question that every alien movie has. "To you I would be an alien." She gave a little laugh at this, it made me smile too. Not once had I thought I would be saying that line seriously. "So did you just get here?" She asked looking at my would be attempt no.1 fire. "Yes" "So you have no where to go?" She asked I wasn't quite taking the hint. "No." She was just making me feel depressed now. "Ugh. Do you want to stay at my house?" She finally asked. Maybe because I wasn't getting the hints. "Oh, Yeah. Okay. That would be nice." I said. I now had a home to go to. The journey home was uneventful and we just talked about stuff about Equestria. Thats where we are. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Monster of Ponyville! //-------------------------------------------------------// The Monster of Ponyville! This was a terrible idea! Do you know what it feels like to have sapient creature like Unicorns and Pegasus call you a monster. Yeah it's offensive; I don't have a FUCKING horn like they do. I'm not even acting a tad suspicious. I'm walking down the street minding my own fucking business. Albeit only a few of them called me monster, some avoided me, and everything else just fucked off in a direction i'm pretty sure was near the centre of town. I swear if they bring rakes and sticks that are of fire, I'll put every last bastard down. Now I and Lyra are walking down an empty street on Ponyville, which I declared now Nothing town. Literally everything was packed up when they heard Frankenstein's monster was coming to town. Again I'm not surprised by this kind of stuff. However I am surprised by how they haven't shot me yet,or captured me to do tests. That’s what America would do. ' Murica!' I thought to myself. This walk is beginning to get downright morbid. "Am I really that ugly?" I asked as a joke, knowing I could very well look ugly here. Like One Eyed Willy Ugly. She looked at me, and then put a smile on. "Not necessarily, but intimidating." She said, reassuringly, until I heard the words. I began asking myself why I would be intimidating. Me of all people, I'm scrawny, which I'm trying to fix hence the hunting. The thing is I'm not Intimidating in my world; not a chance, but this alien world seems to think of me like that. I need the answer. No I need the solution. I need to fix this before it gets any worse. Before I start getting mobs after me. So instead of the cliché 'Why am I intimidating?' question, I asked this "Who runs this place?" No I wasn't about to go kill a King, take over the land and then start working these mules to death. Although that would be boring anyway, and would hurt countless innocent. The thought crossed my mind, but as one of them 'This is a stupid idea, it'll never work' things. So pushing that to one side, I decided to have a nice chat with the ruler, well a local ruler first. She looked at me with disbelief for a second, then she had the 'Oh right, alien!' look on her face then she answered me. "Ah that would be Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." I was about to face palm at these 'Incredible' names. Not even going to question those names. I decided I would start small, and stay away from them shit names. "Any local?" I asked hoping for someone to be local. She looked forward a second before starting to take a detour. "Yeah, her name is Mayor Mare." She said quietly, it was obvious now where she was going. I know another bad name; it's pretty decent for a mayor that is a pony though (If it's female) The walk was mostly silent from Lyra's end, my end, not so much. I was humming the theme of Skyrim hoping my journey could be a bit like that. Hell no, I wasn't going home yet. It was likely that I couldn't go home. I knew this, so I’m going on a journey while I’m here. I don't know what, but i'm hoping it will be like Indiana Jones mixed with Skyrim and Pirates of the Caribbean. Find treasure, kick ass and go home. While I was too busy in my fantasies I wasn't busy enough watching the road. I walked into someone and because they were half my size I had a hard time NOT tripping over them. I felt pain in my nose, but what'd I expect for the floor to bend around my face. I picked myself up and apologized to the Pegasus that was on the floor. She had a spectrum mane with a pastel blue coat. I held my hand out to her expecting her to grab it, but instead she just swatted it away. "I don't need help from a Minotaur!" She spat. Ouch! I just got offended by the poster child of gay rights. "That wasn't very nice." I said with a smirk at the lesbian looking pony. She put on a death glare and threw another insult: "I don't wanna hear that from a monster." Oh she did it now! She pissed off the wrong human today. At the perfect moment my stomach showed me the wonder of life. 'Oh thank you, Hunger Gods!' I thought to myself. I took a deep intake of air and got ready for this. "You know that sound, what should I have today? Maybe brains, oh I'm so hungry I could eat a horse." That last bit slipped out of my mouth unintentionally. Shit. It did the job, her eyes shrivelled to pinpricks and she flew away as fast as she could with fear stiffening her up. I heard a giggle behind me. "Never saw that before." Lyra actually sounded surprised. Why was she so scared? I'm a fucking dumbass; I was smiling like a maniac all the way through. So that meant I was bearing my fangs. Well it worked, so...I had something to sort out later. The air suddenly became solemn, "You don't eat horses though, and yeah I noticed the teeth. But you don't, do ya?" I chuckled for a second, I was about to turn it into a crazy maniac laugh. I thought that would be cruel so I didn't. "Nah, I'm an omnivore. I do eat meat, but it's taboo to eat things like horses." I said factually, yes I'm a nerd so I pretty much know everything. And I'm a bit arrogant, but hey if you're the best, show it off. Okay a lot arrogant. "I'm gonna have to say sorry to her, aren't I?" I asked already knowing the answer. Lyra responded the way anybody would. "Yeah, pretty much. You can do it at the Summer Sun Celebration!" She looked at me again and continued. "It's in two days by the way." We continued walking to the Mayor’s office just talking about things that didn't really matter like hobbies. Once we made it to the offices we went to the reception. The receptionist was looking down at her sheet. "Hello, do you have an appointm-ahhhhhhhhhh!" She looked very shocked and she was shaking. I decided to mess with the mares head. This was gonna be funny. I just screeched like a ape and got into a ape stance. She seemed to calm down for a second before talking. "Oh, thank Celestia, ma'am why do you have a hairless monkey in here?" She asked Lyra. Lyra was about to argue when I said/shouted. "Hey, I'm not a monkey." She fainted in that instant. I started to laugh;hard, but Lyra gave me a disappointed look. "Not making it any easier!" She scolded. I hung my head mockingly and made a sad monkey screech. She sighed angrily and walked towards the Mayors office. I laughed again so much that I got a stitch. Damn my humour. When we got into the room we were met with a normal pony with a grey mane. As soon as she saw me it looked as if her brain completely stopped. Lyra decided to start since I wasn't particularly chatty at the moment. "Hello, my friend needs to talk to you for a moment." It looked as if the mare started to respond to her brains commands again. Oh, shit. I never planned on what I was going to say. Lyra coughed to get my attention. "Uh... hello. Can you prepare a town meeting soon? I need to talk about, well me being an alien to this place." I muttered. Well that could of gone better. Mayor Mane seemed to agree with that idea. "Yeah, I think that will be for the best." She got out some sort of schedule and asked. "When do you want to do it?" She still sounded a bit nervous, once she seen I'm slightly civilized she must have calmed down. When did I want to do it? Well as soon as possible really. "When is the earliest time I can do it?" I asked. She looked at her schedule. "Two days, is that alright?" She was looking for confirmation. Two days away, that was the Summer Sun Celebration. Well I guess it's a better time than any other. "Yeah, that’s good." I said, from what I heard from Lyra it was quite popular, so I was sure I get more peop-ponies on my side if I seemed safe there. We had done our task here so I could go to Lyra's house now. "Well, I guess were done here. Thank you for not completely freaking out." I said with a little bow that I saw often in animes, which got me a giggle of the mares. Mayor Mare waved good bye and we went off finishing Chapter One of my quest. This week might not be as bad as I originally thought. //-------------------------------------------------------// NIGHTMARE! //-------------------------------------------------------// NIGHTMARE! I looked at my sheet of paper. The ominous piece of paper. I knew this wouldn't be going well. Fuck. I took off my hunting jacket just leaving me in my pure black top. I hadn't noticed until now that in this world it looked pitch black. No darker. Like colours were more vibrant. More colourful. Blue was more blue. Red was more red. Black was more black. I picked the piece of paper up and folded it into a quarter of what it was. I then put it into my pocket and removed my weapons from me. Well all except my knife. The handsome bastard. I could keep it hidden. I hoped nothing would happen. "Moirai, please tell the evil spirits to go fuck off for a while." That was my prayer done for the night. I had my knife concealed and I was ready. I put on my polished boots. I had borrowed some of Lyra's hoof polish, which worked wonders. I made sure my hair was okay, perfect as always. Finally I can go down stairs. "Hey Lyra." I gave a little wave. "Oh hey Cole, you ready?" She asked before she looked up to me. She gave a whistle and then insulted me "Wow, if you look like this. I wonder what the good looking humans look like." I responded to with the middle finger. She didn't get it but she knew it was also an insult, sort of. "Hey, don't be like that it was a compliment." She gave a little laugh. I knew it was a joke, but I decided to play along with the 'I'm really offended' routine. "Well what did you mean by that, then?" I mockingly said. We probably could continue this for hours so I decided to stop it because we had somewhere to be. If we didn't I could of continued it for weeks. "Well we gotta go now if we want to be on time." I said looking at my watch which was spinning anti-clockwise. Of course I used the sky for telling what time it was, it was still light but probably a few hours away from sunset. Once we stepped outside we saw a lot of ponies that were here. I didn't notice any of these from earlier. "Lyra who are these?" I asked for reasons of, who the fuck am I telling i'm an alien? And that was good enough to bring up questions. She looked around for a bit and then answered. "From the looks of it, ponies from towns and cities nearby." Okay thats a good enough answer. I know who I'm dealing with now. None of them seem hostile to me. Some of them saw me and waved and I waved back. Smile and wave boys, smile and wave. I did just that. They all seemed friendly and excited for the Summer Sun Celebration. Well except one paranoid looking unicorn. She looked more paranoid than I did before. We got to go in the back so not everyone knew I was there. Once we got there I went to look through the curtains. There was a lot of ponies, I mean a good 200, 300 I couldn't fight my way out if I needed to. Let's just hope it doesn't come down to that. It was about half an hour until I was going to go on the stage. I was getting nervous now. What if I got it wrong? What if they didn't like me? What if they asked a question that I couldn't answer? My incredibly paranoid thoughts were interrupted by Lyra, who was in the party with the rest but just came backstage. "You look nervous." She said. I was about to tell her I'm not, a lie. "Just calm down, you won't buck up!" She reassured. I started to warm up. I could do this. I find my way out of anything that gets thrown at me. "Yeah, I know. I can do it, I'm awesome." She just smiled and giggled. "Okay I gotta go now before people thinking I'm fooling around with the awesome alien." She said. I grimaced a bit, sure they are smart and can consent. Then again, there too much like ponies off my world. They might think like me, but they still resemble animals. Probably the same but with me. I heard hoofsteps behind me. It was Mayor Mare. "Your on in five minutes." She said before walking on stage. She went up to a microphone set up on the stage already and coughed to get everyones attention. "Mares and gentlecolts, welcome to the Summer Sun Celebration. I hope you all excited for the festival because we have a few acts lined up and a special announcement tonight. The reason why we Celebrate on this day is beca-" She was interrupted by a carriage crashing through the roof. Okay now I'm sorta pissed. Not only will I not get a go someone is vandalising the place. the Mayor was thrown to the side I was on by magic. I went to check on her. Her foreleg looked strained. "What happened?" I asked. I started hearing a loud mumbling that was caused by this intruder. The light was still flooding in from outside. Once all the ponies were quiet she started speaking. "Hello, my beloved subjects." Yeah right, evil bitch. "It's been so long since I've seen you precious sun loving faces." Wait it seems like something is missing. The raspy voice of who I call Spectrum bitch said. "What are you doing here?" Okay change of plans. This definitely was not meant to happen. Theres something off with this. I looked at Mayor Mare who was in pain. "I'll be back in a minute, right see you in a bit." I looked through the curtains and saw a large black alicorn on stage. She had a purple helmet on and a now angry face. "HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT ME!?" She shouted. Bitch just flipped a switch. What's with these ponies and mood swings. She began to charge up her horn to probably shoot down a rainbow. Nope, I'm not gonna let that happen. She may be a colourful bitch, but she doesn't deserve to die. I charged out and tackled the alicorn. This gave all the ponies a chance to leave. All of them left except 7 of them. The alicorn looked pissed as hell now. "HOW DARE YOU LAY YOU APE HANDS ON ME!?" She shouted so loud that everyone had to cover their ears to stop the pain. The other ponies stayed back as I was in a one on one with the crazy bitch. "How loud do you have to fucking shout?" I said clearing out my ears. "And I'm not an ape!" She started to glare at me. "I WILL MAKE THIS LAND ETERNAL NIGHT?!" She boomed around the room. Everyone else gasped. I didn't really care, but she was asking for so little since she was evil. Now this was going to be fun tormenting her. "Did I ask what you want, no. Why, because you're not getting it!"I said. I knew I pissed her off because she tried to shoot me with her magic. "HAHA, Bitch jokes on you, I'm immune." I said. I probably shouldn't because then she threw a shamash at me. "Fucking cheat!" I called as it pinned me to a wall. Good job the two ends were longer or I would of been impaled. She chuckled evilly. "You cannot stop me foolish child!" The shamash seemed lodged in the wall so I couldn't get out and KICK HER ASS! Not pun intended. "I WILL TURN THIS LAND INTO ETERNAL NIGHT AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!" She was about to vanish when a pink mare popped up in front of her and shouted "STOP WITH THE BUCKING CAPS LOCK!" Every living being in the room stared at her confused. I know I was, how did she know about caps lock it was from my world. The alicorn decided it was her time to depart from us and turned into a purple mist and went through the hole she just made. Lyra quickly went to check on Mayor mare while the ponies already there help me out of the shamash. There was six of them. One was a normal pony she was orange and wore a stetson over her blonde mane. The other normal pony was pink with a frilly pink mane like candy floss, a little girls dream. There was two unicorns one was the paranoid lavender one with a purple mane from before the party. The other one was a with unicorn with a royal purple mane. Then there was the two pegasi that I had already met. The orange pony came over and took the candle holder off the wall freeing me. "Y'all right?" She asked in a southern American accent. How the fuck she have that, she's in a different world. I grabbed the candle holder out of her hooves. Still don't know how she held it. "Yeah, I'm okay." I held the lamp up. "Now I'm going to shamash a bitch up." I hoped they liked my pun. When I looked at them they all were shaking their heads. "Oh fuck you then. Well see you later." I muttered before I ran off out the door. I was outside thinking now. Okay so if I was a big purple mist where would I go? I'd still be in the air probably. I looked up. "There you are, I'll see you soon. But the question is: han you candle me?" I said putting the shamash in the air. Note to self: Use bad puns when people are there. I started following the purple mist flying through the sky. I would definitely be making good time now. I was running while looking up in the air at the purple mist. This couldn't end well. And as it turned out my conscience was right. While I was running I fell off a cliff into water. When I landed I landed on my stomach so all the air was forced out my body. That along with sinking meant I almost drowned. When I swam up I was the purple mist had met its destination in some sort of tower. All I needed now was to get to that tower. I looked around and found that either way I would have to climb a cliff to get back land. So now I would have a profession in climbing mountings soon. I sighed with the little air I could get while I was in water and started a climb. One climb and five minutes later I was back on land. I had climbed the other side so I would be closer to finishing this little challenge and so I wouldn't have to work a bit harder. I walked into a nearby forest that was in the path of the tower. The trees in the forest looked eerie as hell, but it looked pretty much safe to go through. Oh how I was wrong. I found a stick and tried to pick it up. I was met by howling and the stick didn't move. Before I knew it I found myself surrounded by wooden wolfs. They each took turns at scratching and biting me. Soon I found my knife out and in a wolf's head. I ended up fighting back against the wolfs having my knife covered in sap. One fight and six wolfs later I was able to get out of the woods. I soon found myself face to face with a castle, which the tower was at the other side of. I walked through the entrance and found myself in a library. I may be a nerd but I know that old libraries aren't good things. I looked around the dusty library where I found a shelf that looked new. I looked around that shelf and found a copy of Playboy annual 2015. I don't know how but an adolescent teen doesn't question that logic. I tried to pull the book out when the whole book case flipped around and trapped me. Oh, it's fucking on I want that book. I started plunging my knife into the wall, cutting through the wood of the book case. Eventually I cut a hole out of the thing and kicked in down. I was back on the other side. I looked for my book and found it. I spread my feet to the place where I couldn't be flipped around. I grabbed the book and pulled as hard as I could. When I pulled it I could feel the book case pulling back so I grabbed the book with both hands. More pressure was put on by the book shelf. "Give.Me .My.Book!" I said. Now my feet were placed onto the wall. The book was finally coming free. The book slipped out of the bookcase while I was still up on the wall. "Shit!" I shouted as I fell back and landed on my head. "Ouch!" I said pissed off. I wasn't pissed off too much though, I had my book now. "Time to look inside the masterpiece!" I said. I put my hands on the front page and the back page and slowly pried them apart. The whole room glowed brightly with a gold tint as you could hear a choir in the background ready to celebrate the book. Once the glow had disappeared I saw that the book was empty. Now I was pissed off. I threw the book at the closest window that was a stained glass window. I didn't get a good look at it before it shattered with an almost satisfying smash. Once the window was breaking I heard a click and then bricks started falling from all walls and the roof. This part of the castle was breaking down. "FUCK!" I shouted as loud as I could while exiting the wall at the other side I came in. I was pissed off to the max now. My eyes were blaring red and I couldn't hear anything, but I was at the tower. I ran up the stairs which there was about 30 million of. Once I had made it, there was already 6 ponies up there. HOW THE FUCK? I ran into the room where it seemed like they were waiting for something. I starting running towards the black alicorn with my fists clenched, it may of startled her because she shot near my feet and knocked me out the nearest window. "Fuck!" When I was thrown out the window I was plunged into water. I don't know why I had been thrown OUT OF A FUCKING WINDOW, but it was a good shot. However, this bitch had pissed me off too much and it was time for revenge. I ran around the edge of the castle and got back to where the ruins of the library was. I climbed over all the ruins and look at the tower. Nothing had happened yet, what are they waiting for. I finished climbing over the ruins and made a mad dash to the tower. Once I got the the entrance I was met by the stairs of impending doom. How anybody could climb these I was oblivious to it. I began my ascent of what would be my grave (due to being unhealthy) and climbed...and climbed...and climbed....more fucking climbing....not finished yet....299.9 billion stairs later and 45 heart attacks I was up. All of the ponies in the room looked at me while I was trying to catch my breath. The lavender unicorn ran over to me and help me onto my feet. "Cole are you okay?" She asked. I didn't waste a second to respond "Yeah, fucking stairs!" I half shouted, still out of breath. Then it hit me. She called me Cole. I've only told 2 mares my name and that was Buttercup and Lyra. No-one else here should know my name, unless I forgot telling them. Which I didn't tell them. "How, how do you know my name?" I asked now freaked out wondering whether or not to go on a medium show to see if they knew how. She looked at the butter pegasus and nodded towards her. "Fluttershy told us." She said as if it was a written in stone fact that I told Fluttershy. She looked at my now frowning face and understood what my bundle of beauty you call a face was getting at. "Did she not tell you?" And the last horse finishes the race. Now this was getting more freaky. The doctor, who seemed to be now shying away. (S'all in the name) Knew what my name was. "Fluttershy, is it?" I asked waiting for one of her friends to correct me, They didn't so I carried on asking the mare who was covering her face with her mane. "How do you know what my name is?" I asked. She looked up, she had tears ready to flow. I'm feeling really bad about this, I mean I just want to sit down and hug her 'till the tears go away. No bad brain, stop thinking girly stuff. "I found it on the piece of metal on your necklace," She said. Metal on my necklace. Oh, my dogtags. Fuck you dog tags you betrayed me. I sank down until I was almost on her level, however she had sunk down already. I was now resting my ass on my heels. I put my hand out to Fluttershy's head and gave her a little scratch behind her ear and I was rewarded with a friendly sound that I still cannot describe. "Thanks thats all I needed to know." I changed my voice to a friendly one and stood back up. I looked around and all of the ponies in the room were looking at my hands. Like thats not freaky. I decided to end the stare fest for the fight that was ahead. I coughed to get their attention. "Are we gonna do this or what?" I asked a bit to confidently. She still hadn't seen my knife which meant I had one trick up my sleeves. "YOU SHALL NEVER WIN AGAINST THE NIGHTMARE!" She bellowed throughout the whole tower. "I AM YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!" She boomed. I had to stop her there, she wasn't my worst nightmare or anywhere close to it. "You not that scary." I said calmly shrugging my shoulders. "I mean there are things a lot scarier than you. You're like a little girls dream!" I said a bit louder. Now I had pissed her off completely. She shot a beam of magic at me, which I just flicked away like a fly with a swatter. Man, the idiots never learn. "YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR INSOLENCE!" She shouted. She was now fueled with rage and spite, which wasn't enough. If you had a wildcard like me on your side then she had no chance. I decided I would get her hope shred it up and use it as saw dust. "Give up already! You can't win!" I shouted with a bit of laughter coming off them words. Now I ran at her I was going to wait until I'm close to pull out my knife and be like 'SURPRISE!' Then I found out my idea was terrible, is when she shot me back into the wall. Well no knife game for me. "YOU CANNOT DAMAGE ME! YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ELEMENTS OR HARMONY!" She was now about to go into rage mode, but it seemed as she thought she had the upperhand. "Hey that rhymed!" "But we do!" The lavender unicorn said triumphantly. There was now six crystals floating in the air. "HAHA! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!" But you just did! "YOU HAVE NOT GOT THE LAST ONE!" She shouted. If this was mocking something then there would be a lot of 'Naaaah's and a lot of 'Yeahaaaa's coming up. "Yes we do!" The lavender unicorn bluffed once again. It seemed like there was only two beings in this room who fully understood what she was talking about. A seventh one started to appear but Nightmare moon decided to throw one of them a the lavender unicorn. Shit it's now or never. The crystal was nearing and it seemed as if time was going slow. As I got close I dived at the unicorn and pushed her out the way. It was at the moment she realised what was going on because her face dropped in a second. I felt a really sharp pain in my chest as I hit the floor. "COLE!" I heard the unicorn shout before running up to me. I got to my feet without looking at my chest afraid of what to find. "I'm okay!" I said as the lavender unicorn was trying to help me up. All of them came a step closer as a felt my chest. I looked down and found one of the crystals imbedded in my chest with blood squirting out the sides. I was getting light headed and was about to fall. I managed to stay on my feet. I heard someone about to say something but I cut them off quickly. "Listen, judging by how far this is lodged in I don't have much time." I said I heard gasps around me. "But you can't take me anywhere because we don't have enough time. I tried to see once again but the world was getting darker, fast. "I've done nothing in my life and I want to do something before I die, so I'm not just some kid." I said now falling to my knees. I didn't have enough time so I wanted them to make sure my life doesn't go in vain. The other Element had already been smashed as I heard a gasp next to me. I wouldn't be long now my vision was dark and I was struggling to see now. "You can't destroy the Elements." The unicorn said in a matter of fact tone. "I have the Elements right here." She said. Guess I dying confused. "What?" Nightmare Moon shouted but asked. You not the only one, for now. My blood level was seriously low now I was about 30 seconds away from dying. A normal human in this situation would have already keeled over, but I'm a stubborn one. "AppleJack,who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of... honesty!" She said, I felt my body getting a tiny bit stronger but it wasn't enough. The unicorn started talking again. "Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of... kindness!" I got a bit stronger again but all this would be for naught. "Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of... laughter!" Once again I was stronger, the light slowly coming back, however it kept fading as well. "Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of... generosity!" Yes generosity, but they just wouldn't let me die. This pain is killing me, well almost. "Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire represents the spirit of... loyalty!" Yes too fucking loyal, let me die already. Be a loyal friend. "Then theres me, the Element of magic. Me and my friends make the Elements together." NightMare Moon started laughing. "Oh, I was scared for a moment there. Remember that was only six Elements and if you're smart you would have worked the seventh Element out" Oh when you die you'll meet me in hell. Then you're in for a world of pain. "That's where you downfall is. When you threw the Element you threw it at the Element bearer. The final Element is the Element of Honour! Cole didn't die because of his will, it was keeping him alive." Fuck you will you just have to be better than to let me die don't ya? "He wanted to risk his life to see that justice was served." I swear right now unicorn you sound like Batman. "So he is the last of the Elements." I felt the pain in my chest go away. I looked down at my chest, it was still in there but it was a different shape (Of a sword and a shield) and the wound had stopped bleeding. It felt as if my body had been refilled, all the blood was back. The one thing was though, I was still running off adrenaline. This could really hurt as soon as I stopped running off adrenaline. After the unicorn had finished her speech we rose into the air. All of the crystals were glowing. The necklaces, the crown and the piece of crystal stuck in my chest. We could all hear Nightmare Moon screaming "No! No! Please stop!" Well that was not a choice now. Evil bitch. A rainbow light started forming and was shot at her. She ended up turning into a purple alicorn filly. Once we had been put down from the force the purple unicorn asked "Is everypony okay?" The skittle monster responded with "Ow my head!" Yeah get stabbed in the chest. I walked over to the window and started breathing heavily . I was still really light headed and felt like I was gonna faint. They carried on their conversation while I was thinking 'Oooh look it's water!' I ended my night by jumping out of a tower into a deep salt pond. I landed straight on my back, man that was gonna hurt in the afterlife. I was underwater for a second before the salt pond acted like the Red Sea and floated me to the surface. I immediately fell asleep. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chase! //-------------------------------------------------------// Chase! I woke up looking up at a wooden ceiling, again. Fuck! Why am I here? Can't I ever wake up at my own house? I sighed before trying to sit up. A splitting pain erupted from my chest, I had to clench my teeth to sit up. I didn't like this place it was like a small hospital. Oh god, I hated hospitals. A lot. I prefered to do my own bandages instead of some overpaid butcher to stitch me up. I looked at my chest which was bare apart from the crystal. I was pretty much naked apart from my boxers which (I'm glad) looked untouched. I looked around and found my pants and my now ripped shirt. I grabbed my pants and put them on under the covers. It was a bit awkward with shuffling around and the pain in my chest. Once I had got them on I had grabbed my boots and put them on. It was a bit annoying trying to tie my shoelaces blind and in a weird position, but I managed. Once I had my boots on I had enough time to hear hoofsteps coming towards the door. I had just enough time to start pretending I'm asleep again. I began to snore lightly as I heard the door open. Fluttershy walked in humming a sweet tune as she walked around. Hopefully she wouldn't notice the lack of clothes on the floor. It sounded as though she hadn't. I opened my left eye a tiny bit, it was the closest to the bed so I had less vision but I was also less likely to get caught then. Fluttershy was dusting the room while humming the little song that I presumed was improvised. She dusted for like 10 minutes doing the room over and over again. Just as I was ready to give up and just shout 'Fukkit!' and walk out of the front door she took a step back and admired her hard work. She stood there for a couple of seconds. I was hoping that she won't notice how my feet have grown in length and width because of the boots. Luckily she noticed nothing. She was too busy cleaning her house. She turned around and walked out of the room. I waited about a minute before getting up again. I grabbed my shirt and put it on. Yes there was a hole in the front but I needed it to cross Ponyville back to Lyra's house. Where the shirt used to be I now found my knife in it's holster. Where was I going to put that today. I liked putting it in a new place everyday, so if someone did try to take it they couldn't find it. Surprising some of the habits you pick up when your friends always steal your knife. I strapped my knife to my inner thigh (Slightly awkward spot) and now I was ready to go. I opened the window and looked out. Still kinda dumb though, this is how I escaped the first time and it's still accessible. In the air I saw a cloud with a Rainbow tail. I grunted I swear the pegasus up there was trying to make life hard for me, I just don't understand why she is spying now. I wasn't meant to be awake yet. I opened the window as far as it would open as silent as I could, which she must have oiled it too much because it basically slid open by itself. I grabbed it before it hit the wall and made a 'thud' that someone in the area could hear. I sighed in relief one more step and i'm out of here I thought as I climbed out the window. You know I could use Rainbow Dash to get me out of here if I formulated a plan. Haha perfect! I went intentionally the way Rainbow Dash could see me but Fluttershy couldn't. It seemed as if she was waiting or just hadn't seen me yet. I was fine with both them options because either way I would be out of here with no one having a chance of catching me. "Hey, buck-o. Where you goin?" I heard a raspy voice, I smiled because so far my plan was going perfectly. I turned to the sky blue pegasus that just landed near me. I was past the bridge now so Fluttershy probably definitely couldn't see me but she was probably already freaking out. "I'm just going on a walk." I said with mock nerves. I was trying make it seem like I'm lying. She put on a sly smile like she just got the upperhand in the fight. "But Fluttershy doesn't know!" She half shouted. If she shouted my plan would go to waste. I now had a massive advantage in this battle of wits. "Oh how would you know that?" I asked rhetorically. I was about to back her into a corner now. "Maybe because you waited guard for me to escape again!" She seemed shocked for a moment , but then she puffed her chest out and tried to say something but I already cut her off. "Or maybe, you was just too busy peeking at her that you knew what she had done all day." Rainbow Dash had gone full tomato, I had her backed into a metaphorical corner. "How did you-- I mean, No thats not it!" She was now tripping on her own words and trying to correct herself, but it was too late I already had the truth. I sank down to Rainbow's level and looked her in the eye. "Don't worry. I'm not going to tell her. I'm here to make a deal." I said. I held out my hand in front of me waiting for her to shake it. She seemed to be having an internal struggle with herself. She finally reached out her hoof and shook my hand. "Okay, so when you hear Fluttershy's door opening I want you to fly in that direction." I pointed to a bunch of apple trees in the distance. "That's all. Just fly to sweet apple acres, Easy!" She boasted. "But why?" She said. Crap she was getting onto the plan. I know it wasn't the best plan but it was perfect for this situation. "Oh I just want to see how fast you are? And see if you live up to your name?" I lied through my teeth. She seemed arrogant and also really easy to trick into a race so I had my escape horse, so to say. She puffed out her chest, which was getting really annoying she's like Earths girls in selfies. "Oh, you're on buddy." There that was all too easy. "Okay I'll get to somewhere I can watch you from." I said now walking off. I was getting home without a hitch. I managed to get into the beginning of Ponyville before I saw a Rainbow streak zooming off. "Thank you dumbass!" I said to noone. I walked for about two more minutes before getting back to Lyra's house. I knocked on the door in a tune I had made up on the way home and Lyra answered. "Oh hi, it's you Cole. I thought you would be a Fluttershy's for a couple of days while you injuries heal." Okay so everybody knew now. "What injuries?" I asked walking into my temp abode. She looked at me with a deep pan stare and pointed at my chest with a hoof. "On them ones." I looked at the bandages that had a tiny bit of blood on from my little walk around town. "Well I'm going to get some well deserved rest." I said walking up to my room and hitting the bed, or hay because that a bit more accurate. I was just a quilt wrapped around hay. Twilight was studying about bipedal creatures with her drake grabbing all the books in the library that could have anything to do with them. "So will I ever get to meet him?" Her young drake assistant asked. Wondering about the bipedal Element. Twilight had never actually let Spike out on his own yet, but was hoping that Spike having another male as a friend would help him mature. "Well maybe sometime soon." She said her eyes not tearing away from the books. BANG BANG BANG A loud bang was at Twilights door since she lived in a library this was not that common, people was allowed to just walk in. "Come in!" She half shouted at the door, she only tore her eyes away from her book for a nanosecond. The door opened and a panicked AppleJack walked in. "Twilight Cole escaped an' it's almost time for his treatment." Applejack said quickly. "We've already got the others looking for him but no luck so far." Twilight had made a health potion out of medical ingredients because Cole was immune to magic even with an Element. Now Twilight started panicking. "We have got to find him soon." She put her book down and ran to the door. "Spike take care of the library for now." She said leaving the door open for AppleJack. As AppleJack left the library she shut the door behind her and ran after the lavender unicorn. Twilight ran to the center of town where she found her friends all together. "Have any of you seen him?" All of the answers were negative. Well only 4 of them answered and there was one nervous pony. Rainbow Dash was currently looking away from everyone into the sky. "Rainbow Dash?" "Nothing, nothing at all!" She said almost too fast for anypony to understand. AppleJack the pony lie detector took a step up now. "Ah think she's hiding something." Every pony knew Rainbow Dash was lying. All eyes were now on Dash and she was about to crack. She took a deep breath to try and prevent her from cracking, but it was all for naught. "Okay, fine. He may of tricked me into being a diversion, but thats all I know." Everypony sighed they had no leads to where Cole would be. "If I was Cole where would I be?" Pinkie's chirpy voice pitched in. "Well I'd probably be at my house, but thats me. No wait, that's me if I were Cole. So that's cole." She said in one breath. Rainbow Dash said what everypony was thinking. "Pinkie, that's creepy don't do that again." Everypony nodded after her. "Okay Dashie!" She chirped. "Please don't call me that!" Dash pleaded. The rest of the girls got the message, but it was obvious Pinkie didn't. "Okay Dashie!" She squealed happily. "Okay let's just go before she makes up more stupid nicknames." They all agreed and set off to Lyra's house where Cole was currently accommodated. The walk was about five minutes, but the run was one. They made it in good time. Twilight's hair was starting to stick out as she knocked on the door in three solid knocks. BANG! BANG! BANG! I was woke up from my peaceful slumber by a not so peaceful someone trying to bang down Lyra's door. I lazily walked over to the window from my room and looked down to the door. "Lyra it's for me!" I shouted downstairs so she wouldn't answer the door. We couldn't have them barging in couldn't we. I opened the top of the window to greet the mares outside. "G'day Ladies." I greeted in the best Australian accent I could muster up. The mare waiting at the door jumped at my sudden greeting. They looked up at me angrily. I had my arms folded over the window and I had my head resting on it. Twilight took it up to her to talk. "Cole, will you come down here for a second." She said with a fake smile and an aggravated tone. Oh she is so easy to annoy. "I would, but my mummy says it's time for bed." I said with a fake sulk. Rainbow Dash was obviously annoyed at my trick before as she didn't think before speaking. "Then tell your mom to..." She paused now realising she just fell into another trap. "Dammit Cole! Just come down." Fluttershy rose from her shock induced habitat and spoke. "We need to change your bandages quickly." I took a step back from the window and put my jacket on before winding the mare up once again. "Well it is turning purple." I said trying to keep myself from laughing. "WHAT?!" Twilight shouted for the whole world to hear. I had to grab my pillow to stop them hearing my laughing. All it did was muffle the sound and make it sound like I was crying. I laughed for a good minute before I heard the door opening from downstairs. Twilights reaction was priceless, but I had to go now. I was not going back to Fluttershy's or a hospital, I hated both and wanted to keep away from them. I had no choice but to take an escape route I planned for anytime this house got invaded by royal guards Lyra was telling me about. I pushed the hatch to the attic open with my rifle and jumped up to the ledge and pulled myself up. I managed to shut the hatch in time for no one to see it shut. I walked over to the window that was placed in the attic before opening it. I stopped just in time to hear their reaction to me disappearing into thin air or the attic which was definitely more likely. "He's not here!" I could hear the hairs on Twilight's head popping out. "Would ya quit ya hidin'" I heard AppleJack saying in her strong American redneck accent. I climbed out the window and started to jump the buildings. I swear I must have lost about at least a kilogram since I came to Equestria, but it was actually more fun here. I managed to get about 4 buildings down before I heard Lyra's front door reopen. "Oh no you don't!" I heard Rainbow Dash from a mile away. Wings they were going to be a problem. As much as I was. Rainbow Dash tried to swoop me and grab me, but I managed to dodge her just in time. I ducked out of the way and saw a shocked Rainbow Dash swooping by me while making a high pitched yelp. I swear that would've been hilarious in super slo-mo. I managed to jump another two buildings before I was caught in a pure white aura of which a presume was magic. 'Impossible I'm immune to magic' I thought as I was turned around and saw all of the ponies around were bowing to a white alicorn. I felt I had to do something instead of standi- floating there like an idiot but I was suspended in the air by this alicorns magic. "Hello my subjects..." She said before tearing her eyes off at me. She had a warm smile on her face, but something in her eyes didn't sit right with me she seemed to familiar. //-------------------------------------------------------// My Element of Chaos! //-------------------------------------------------------// My Element of Chaos! Everything around was bowing to this alicorn. She seemed like the binary opposite of Nightmare Moon, in fact she just might have been. Her Pinkish mane was flowing all on it's own, there was no wind making her mane do that. In fact if there was any wind it was the light draft going the opposite direction. "Rise my subjects..." She said in a calm motherly tone. I didn't like it whatever it was ,it was too different. This back home might be known as communism, but all the ponies seemed to be okay with it. They seemed to show a lot of respect to this monarch, and the same the opposite way round. That's what probably put me off, she was too nice to be a queen. Or anybody with money really. As she looks around her ponies she has a motherly smile on, but something behind her eyes tells me she is hiding something. Something big, I don't like it. The motherly look doesn't even waver when she looks at me she just continues looking around, pointing out ponies in the crowd. "I wish to speak with the Elements of Harmony!" The 6 mares that had just been chasing me stepped forward. What made me smile though was the contrast in Twilight's and Rainbow Dash's reactions. Twilight had quite a calm demeanor and it looked like she knew we was safe. Rainbow Dash looked like had just been thrown in a lake. I looked around and found no lake. Nope shes sweating. If anyone would be in trouble it would be me. I knew my way out of any situation I get in. That being because I'm an endangered species to this planet being the only one of my kind. We all walked (and floated in my case) to Twilight library. No one even spoke so I presumed that Twilight already knew about the Princesses visit. When we got to the door Twilight opened it and let her friends walk in, she then walked in and let the Princess in last. Almost when it was too late I realised she was floating me a bit too high. I didn't want to get hit by the door frame so I leant back. My feet ended up hitting the doorframe and with me staying still like nothing was happening I ended up doing a backflip in my floating prison. Once we was all inside the library Twilight decided to do me a favor. "Um...Princess." Was all she said nodding her head towards me. The Princess replied with an 'Oh' and let me use my own legs for walking now. Me floating through the air felt like when your car went over a steep hill and you could feel your bladder touching your heart, albeit you get used to it after a while and your bladder finds it's way home. The Princess came in and sat on her haunches, which everypony copied. I was the only one remained stood up. "Cole, you may want to sit down for this." The Princess spoke in her less formal tone. Now I think I know what she's hiding. I sat down and I kept a small smile on my face, I was waiting patiently for the news. The news that would get me what I wanted. And what I wanted was home. Unfortunately that news didn't come. I knew she knew why I was here. She just wasn't telling me. She just settle by telling old news that everybody should have known. "My sister wants to thank you for freeing her from Nightmares grasp." Rainbow Dash was not the smartest of ponies, but she seemed to have finished the shock finish line first. "Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying what I'm saying?" The Princess gave a sad little nod. "Nightmare Moon is your sister." I resisted the urge to facepalm so hard that my head would explode. I didn't want to explain it to anyone so I would just stay quiet and pretend I wasn't here until she brought the real news out. "No darling, I think she's saying that the alicorn that Nightmare was controlling was her sister." Rarity told it how it was. Wait now I was confused, in all right the Princess should of gone and seen how the mares were doing. "Wait!" I said. All the ponies in the room looked at me like I was an idiot, they literally just explained it in simple form. "You didn't go to check on them yesterday?" I asked, she was either a careless leader or a weak one. Twilight started to defend her beloved leader. "The only reason she didn't see us yesterday is because we went looking for you after you jumped out of the tower." She spoke with a tint of venom in her voice. "It's noponies fault." So basically it's my fault because i'm the only non pony individual in the room. "Neither is it Coles." She quickly added on noticing I'm not a pony, but the damage had already been done. "Anyway, arguments over with. My little sister would like to see you and thank you for freeing her." She looked around, she literally looked as if she would burst. "Everypony go pack I'm taking you back to Canterlot with me in one hour." As soon as she said that it's as if it was a race. I was the only thing left in the room with the Princess. "So what else are you hiding?" I interrogated with my words. "What on Equestria do you mean?" She said, obviously lying. She was a terrible liar, for a royal this was uncommon. She might be able to bend the truth to her subjects, but I'm not one of them. I turned around and didn't look at her. "You're hiding something else!" I started turning back round to her. I leant on the windowsill and continued. "Maybe, it why I'm here. You know don't you?" I accused My guess was correct because she slumped down and sighed. "I wasn't going to tell you." She told me. I started to frown, she was going to keep my only way home from me. "I wasn't going to let you get your hopes up." She continued. This almost shattered my composure, I wasn't able to get home. I knew that was coming, she didn't know the magic for it. "The Element of Honor wasn't meant to be activated because it's quite faulty to it's owner." I was about to punch something this isn't even the same subject. She pointed a hoof to my chest. "It has seemed to wield it self into you. That's why you can't go home." So it was the thing in my chest, I knew I shouldn't have dived in front of it. "It's also the thing that brought you here." Now I was getting pissed off. I was confused on how a fucking crystal brought me here. "What do you mean?" I asked trying to keep venom out of my voice. She sighed even more. This thing in my chest had a lot of background. "The Element of Honor is not the same as the rest. It was meant to be a part of the Elements of chaos, but when they were destroyed it latched itself to the Elements of Harmony tree to help keep the Elements of Chaos dead. With all six Elements of Chaos dead they would resurrect themselves off that power." She spoke. "The last wielder of that went insane and ripped it out of his own chest because the Elements of Chaos were not meant for the weak willed." She paused for a moment. "The Element of Honor seems to think that you can wield." I was attempting to process all the information that the Princess just threw at me. The last thing she said caughted in my head the most. "The Element thinks that means it has a personality." I spoke out loud. The Princess decided to elabourate. "It has multiple, and if it is actually good it will try to help you along your path." Wait that means I would have them. No the Element picked me, I need to live up to expectations. No backing out now. " When do you think they will start?" I asked with the utmost confidence in my voice. This made the Princess smile, a friendly one not a motherly one. Her face suddenly dropped, this didn't waver my confidence. The Elements were more powerful than her, a deity. "In about a weeks time is when it could first start." Enthesis on the could. One thing caught my mind. "What about the other Elements do they have personalities too?" I asked. The Princess quickly answered. "No, yours is quite unique. None of the Elements of Chaos had as many as that." Oh great I got the worst one, you know I think Pinkie would have handled this Element better. I could handle the Element of laughter with crappy puns, right. As if she read my thoughts she popped up out of no where. "Guess who?" She asked like no one knew it was her. I just ignored her and kept on looking at the Princess. She looked back at me, the look in her eye hadn't changed yet but it had looked a lot less guilty. Guess I was close to the truth. "We must carry on this conversation later." She already had made plans for it without my consent. I just nodded as she left the library and probably went to her chariot. I looked at the pink mare in the room and saw she was empty handed- hoofed. "Pinkie wheres you suit case?" I asked no knowing I was about to see. She pulled an enormous suitcase out of fluffy mane and shoved it right in front of her. "Right here silly!" She said like she was babying me. With how shocked I was by that she could of took me home and back knowing that. She sat on her haunches while I regained my composure. She reminded me of dog. A pink, fluffy, laws of physics breaking dog. "Pinkie don't do that ever again, thats creepy." She looked at me confused and then said. "That's what Dashie said." She shoved the suitcase back in her mane while I cringed and looked away. I don't know if that was a 'that's what she said' joke or if she actually said that, both are believable. "So when is this going to happen?" Asked a stallion, with a British accent. He was hiding in the shadows so he wouldn't be saw along with that he was wearing a fedora so his eyes were in the shade. "Soon, it will be soon. We need to do this for the future of Equestria." He said. His voice was coming in from all walls and he sounded like Q from Star Trek. "We need him to be at his best for us!" You could hear the British stallion exhale. "I know." He sighed. "I just can't get it round my head, why am I working with you?" The voice sounded quite annoyed now. "Do you want your little mare friend to die if we fail?" The British stallion let tears cover his eyes. "NO!" He shouted at the disembodied voice. "Well then we need to start the plan then." The disembodied voice said now a bit more calm. The British stallion walked away towards something that couldn't be possible. He pulled out a photo of a mare with light blonde hair. "Soon, I will be done and we can be together." The picture was of a mailmare that lived in Ponyville //-------------------------------------------------------// Just Get A Train Instead! //-------------------------------------------------------// Just Get A Train Instead! "I'm not getting on that!" I tried to argue for dear life. I pointed at the Princesses golden chariot. That couldn't be safe. All there was to keep you from falling was a fucking gate that went up to my knees. It was five ponies against one me. As soon as Rainbow Dash got here I wouldn't physically have a chance at winning this argument. "Darling, why are you so insistent on not going on the fair mode of travel ." She said in her posh accent. I was starting to hate her way of talking. AppleJack sized me up. "Ah think he's afraid of heights." She tried to intimidate me, but she was right. "Bingo! She's right I am afraid of heights. It's my instincts to be. Pretty much if I fall I die." I tried to convince them not to force me. Fluttershy decided to try next. "It's not actually that scary." She spoke in probably the tiniest voice she could muster up. I had to strain my ears to hear her. Really a pegasus telling me not to be afraid of heights. "Yeah, but you've got wings so it's not fair." Once she realised that was true she blushed for her mistake and hid behind her mane. AppleJack came to pitch again. "Well what about me I don't have wings or magic?" That was actually a good excuse. "You're not immune to magic." I batted the excuses away. Home run! The Princess stepped in this time. "Neither are you Cole, remember I can use magic on you so you won't be able to fall." She thought she had trapped me, but she doesn't think like I think. "Well can you catch me when I'm falling at near terminal velocity." On this day I had outsmarted a Princess. In a bullshit way. "Anyway, don't you guys have trains?" I asked. "Well yeah we do, but this way is much faster." Twilight chirped in. I swear at this moment Pinkie was starting to vibrate from anger. I was about to argue again when I saw Pinkie frown. I didn't think that was possible. Her mane wasn't poofy anymore and she had turned a darker shade of pink. I don't think she liked us arguing. I knew she was a ticking time bomb. All of the ponies there looked at me as if to say 'It's your fault, do something.' I sighed, I probably was going to regret doing this. "Hey Pinkie." I said changing my demoner to a happy one. "How about you come on the train with me?" I asked. I actually hoped she said no so I could go alone and I also felt bad if I tore her away from her friends. She started to suck in air at an alarming rate. "Oh my Celestia, I get to hang out with my bestest friends in the whole wide world." The ran over to me and gave me a bone crushing hug that could have killed me. "Let's go right now and grab out tickets?" I began to run out of air and I think I may have been turning as blue as Rainbow Dash's fur when the Princess stopped her with her magic. "Now now Pinkie. Leave some air in him for later when you're on the train." She warned with a mischievous look on her face. You fucking troll! Pinkie grabbed my hand with her hoof and slowly led me away, towards what I hoped was the train station and not a torture chamber. I was being dragged towards the station when I saw Rainbow Dash flying through the air. Pinkie hadn't noticed her quite yet, but Rainbow Dash had noticed us. She started gliding next to me. "Sup, where you guys off to?" She looked at Pinkie who had stopped and started staring at her innocently. She mock gasped. "Are you guys..." I cut her off before she finished her sentence. I didn't want them kind of thoughts in my head. "No!" I may have said a little too loud. I really wanted to get rid of her now. "Were taking the train, and I think Fluttershy's waiting on you." I said with the metaphorical ball now on my side. Rainbow Dash went a tiny bit red and she looked away hoping that Pinkie hadn't noticed. I could tell Pinkie already knew, but was just keeping it a secret. "Douche." She summed me up in one word. Pinkie eyes suddenly widened. "Dashie you should come with us two." She offered. Oh fuck you Pinkie! Can't you see I'm trying to get rid of her. She actually did and she was doing it on purpose. Please say no. Rainbow Dash thought for a moment. "I could see why you would want me to come along with you. Okay." She paused for a moment and asked. "Where are the others? I'll need to tell them I'm coming with you two,..." She mouthed the word lovers and I responded with a middle finger that a butterfly gesture. She turned red and flew off to tell the others. "I'll buy you a ticket!" I shouted behind her. Me and Pinkie walked over to the ticket booth. In the booth was a brown stallion with a dark blue hat on. In honesty his uniform reminded me if Postman Pat's. "Three tickets please." I asked. He gave us the tickets and responded in a very raspy, almost smokers voice. "That'll be 6 bit's please." I took six bits out the bag and gave him them we walked away to wait for Dash and get onto the next train. I looked into the bag that Lyra gave me, it still had about 100 bits in it, Fuck how much do I need? And what is Lyra's job for her to have this much spare? I walked over to a bench that looked like it was made for a bipedal and sat down. "I wonder how Canterlottians react to me?" I asked the pink mare who was currently trying to sit like me but failing. No matter how much you can break the laws of physics you cannot change your body shape. Or so I think. Canterlottians was a word I made up to call the Canterlot ponies. I heard it once while I was at my uncles, he lives in England, more specifically in Manchester which was like a city to England. Anyway they said it about people from a place called Bolton, they called them Boltonians which I was confused they are English so call them pie-munchers. Pinkie was now sat on her haunches on the bench. What the hell all they need is mats on the floor. "I think they're gonna like you!" Pinkie said looking in the sky, probably for Rainbow Dash I wouldn't blame her myself. If I met me I would shoot me. Though a bit vague for a Pinkie Pie response. We sat in silence for a couple while before another noise was made. "It's a doozie, it's a doozie." What? I need a fucking translator. There was a very dark cave at the edge of Canterlot. Inside there was a throne made of wood, bones and skin of dead diamond dogs. Sat atop that throne was a silhouette with a blood red glow in his hand. His whole hand was a solid crystal that had 'Power' carved on its fingers. He was tapping his fingers on the bones that created the armrests. The cave was dimly light by a stick with a fire lit atop of it in each corner. A large diamond dog walked in. His fir was brown and he wore a gray jacket that only reached his waist. He also wore a pair of tatty gray joggers. His left eye was covered with a eyepatch and his whole body had nasty scars. He looked like a true warrior. "Ah... patch you made it. So you think you can kill honored?" A teenage voice asked. "My names not patch!" He snarled. The figure on the throne held out his pinky finger on the crystalised hand and let out a burst of magic that missed the dog. The magic created a massive shock about 12 meters wide all from that one spark. A tiny bit of the electric hit the dog. The dog let out a small whimper before falling to the and started convulsing, this went on for a long minute before the dog eventually stopped shaking and his body calmed. The dog wasn't dead, he was still heaving for breath. The newly named Patch rose to his paws and he visabally had pain in his eyes. The sides of his cheeks were wet from tears and his what was smooth hair was now sticking out. The thing in the chair didn't need to say anything. "So do you think you can kill honor?" The thing in the chair asked. It grabbed a mask that looked like it was spawned straight from tartarus and put it on. The mask was of a skull, had horns that made dragons jealous. Patch stuck out his chest and took a deep breath. "Hell Yeah!" He boasted in a loud voice. This reply only seemed to tick the silhouette off. The figure kneed the pup in the stomach causing him fall to the floor. "Do you know what the Element of Honor is capable of?!" He shouted in a voice so loud it could burst some ponies eardrums. Patch's ears flattened to his head to block out some of the sound. "In the right hands the Element of Honor can destroy worlds and because it's not sided that means it doesn't share it's power. " He said in a more calmer voice. Patch being winded had to strain for his voice to come out. "Does that mea-" He was cut off by a crystal hand dragging him up to his feet. On which when standing he inhaled a breath of air. "Yes. That means it it one of the most powerful objects on any planted around here. There is only one thing that can defeat it at the moment." He took out a sheet of paper with a language that was not known to anyone anymore due to anyone who spoke it being killed. "When we translate this we can be invincible." Patch just looked at him with a look of 'Really man, that cliche' The figure just looked back. "Anyway ,I want to prove to one of my friends that I haven't wasted my life yet." He gave a vague hint of what he actually wanted. Maybe on the lines of being finally noticed as something other that what he was. Patch and the figure was silent for a moment in a cave the awkwardness couldn't be cut with a chainsaw it was that thick. That was until Patch spoke. "So do you know where my target is?" He asked. He had been brought down here for a target, but if it wasn't Honor that what was it. "Ah yes your target." He said reminding himself what he actually hired him for. He walked back to the throne that he had made and sat down. Once he was comfortable he gestured the pup to his side, which he obediently followed out. Once he was there he raised his hands into a rectangle shape. His glove glowed and he pulled out his hands, which in turn made a red hologram which was a map. "There!" He pointed at a moving dot which had a tag above it saying Treachery. "You are going against Treachery if you find a human in Canterlot thats them." He looked over to Ponyville where he had last saw Honor. He was at the edge of Ponyville. "Scratch that, you may have two human visitors in Canterlot. But no matter what .Don't. Kill. Honor." He said in the most stern tone he could muster up. "Do you know what Honor looks like then?" Patch asked. The figure looked at Patch like he was insane. "Don't you think I've tried that?!" He spat venom. "*Sigh* No the Elements are protecting them. All of the Element bearers are unreadable." I was waiting around on Dash to come back, it seemed as if she was taking ages. 'I wonder if she's too lame to come with us!' I thought. Wait was that me thinking i've never thought things like that. Yeah I'm awesome but everyone else is okay at least. Well most people. I shrugged it off and started looking at the pink earth pony that was still sat on the bench wagging her tail if she wasn't sentient it would be adorable. Something about her being able to talk put me off thinking the display of puppyitus in front of me was adorable. Not her being able to bend the laws of physics,no her being able to make words put me off. What makes her like she is? Cocaine or something? 'Aren't horses deceptable to salt or something?' Wait I don't know that. Well I must do. 'So Pinkie must be doped up on salt' Thats my conclusion. She seemed to stay silent most of the time, which I did not expect. I expected her to be flapping her lips the whole time. My mind started going fuzzy for a second before a sharp pain that jolted me from my thoughts, which I couldn't remember. My mind started going fuzzy again before I found myself looking back at Pinkie she was looking around like she was high being entertained by everything around her. I was facing towards her but she was just looking around. The seats were curved around in a wiggly pattern so she sat on the next one to me. It seemed like we had moved, we wasn't sat here before. I some how had moved. I was now looking at Pinkies flank for some reason. I tried to tear my eyes away from it but it was like I was hypnotised by it. Deluded thoughts of her perfectly round flank started popping into my head. Sexual fantasies started to fill my head about it, like how it probably feel a lot better than a human girls. As if my mind and my stomach was colliding I started feeling sick to my stomach. This wasn't me. I wasn't into animals. At the same time my mind was telling me she wasn't an animal if I asked her for a quicky she could give her consent and say yes or neigh. That thought made me want to turn the floor green with my bodily fluids. At the same time my mind was thinking about filling her with my bodily fluids. I'm pretty sure at this moment I was a pale green color. I found myself being pulled out my thoughts by a spectrum muncher. Rainbow Dash was poking me with a hoof. "C'mon dude we gotta go!" She said. She sounded a bit irritated, from all I know she could have been there for ten minutes and I wouldn't have noticed. Pinkie Pie had already been on the train for a while now. So was just sitting there staring at a bench against my own will. I stood up and looked at Rainbow Dash who was giving me a knowing look. "Dude really?" She asked skeptically. "Shut up!" She now had something against me so I couldn't really use you know who anymore since I actually got caught. If any case she had the upper hoof in this. I walked off towards the train which was about 300m away. Why we chose to sit so far away I don't know. "C'mon dude you don't have to be so stroppy about it." She started. "You always do it to me." "And you have the same reaction as I do!" I reminded her. "Oh yeah." She realised. We were walking quite slowly towards the train. It was a bit of a surprise that that it hadn't took off yet. I guessed we still had a couple of minutes. "So, Pinkie huh?" She asked awkwardly. I grunted. "No! I don't like her. I just... couldn't take my eyes away from her..." At this point I hated that everything lined up to that and I couldn't argue because I had no proof and they did. Once I had finished that Rainbow Dash started to laugh her ass...I mean flank off. Once she saw my pissed off face glaring in her direction she laughed even more. Then she began to reassure me. "Don't worry man. I clop over Fluttershy's all the time." She said absent-mindedly. 'Wait is that what I think it means?' I asked myself about to laugh my ass off. 'Yep' I answered myself. Dash's eyes widened at what she said. She began to turn red. 'Theres your answer.' "No, no no! You didn't hear that!" She hyperventilated she probably was thinking this. 'What would Fluttershy think if she found out I clop over her?' Well even though I couldn't read minds I assumed I was correct. I felt guilty causing this panic attack, so I had to do something. "Don't worry your secret's safe with me. As long as mine is with you." She nodded. "Well than we got nothing to worry about." Oh Moiria, marry me please? "Well expect a little mocking from both sides." I said I knew what I'm like and I sorta knew what she's like and this is about to get fun. She sighed and started walking again. "Okay. Just don't stare at Pinkie's flank in public." I decided to make clopping noises with my tongue all the way to the train, which I think aggravated her. She struck first and it was on, I wasn't going to make it easy for her, was I? Once we got on the train we went in a booth that Pinkie was in. In all honesty it reminded me of the ones from Harry Potter. Pinkie was in it greeting us with a smile that showed she had a question coming. "Hey Dashie, Coley." She said. The nickname 'Coley' just went through me causing a shiver. "Were you two talking about my flank? 'Cause someone is talking about my flank! My Pinkie sense told me." Well thats not creepy at all. Dash stepped up to cover for me, I think. "Well Cole was..." You fucking bitch, you fucking betrayed me. "He was asking what that thing is on you flank. I explained to him it was a cutie mark." She stated. Oh she didn't betray me. Dash winked at me. "Ain't that right Cole?" She asked. "Yes!" I spoke way too fast so I had to cover for myself. "Yeah, just about cutie marks." I said. Usually I was a good liar, but in this situation something just ripped the calm out of me. "Really?" She asked superstitiously and I nodded nervously at her. "Well okay then!" She chirped and I took this time to sit on the opposite side as Dash had. "Well if you two will excuse me I need to go to the little fillies room." She said almost too happily. As she bounced past my eyes drifted to her flank which was the perfect size. The round booty bouncing in the slightest way to get your attention. Lewd thoughts began to invade my head again. I was thinking about grabbing her by the cutie marks and pulling her towards me letting my tip slowly invade her---- 'Aww no that just isn't right.' My thoughts and my fantasies were in two different places right now. I looked back at Dash who was now giving me a shit eating smirk. "I've always wondered why you wore pants." She stated nodding down to my nether region, which I saw was bulging but at the same time cold. She mock sighed and shook her head as I pulled my combat jacket over the bulge in my pants. "By the way it's gonna be hard to cover for you if you keep staring in public." I responded to that with a middle finger and closed my eyes, I was about to get some of the only non knocked out sleep since I got here. Author's Note Sorry about them still not getting to Canterlot yet, but I wanted to level out the playing field between him and Dash so it's not so one sided. //-------------------------------------------------------// Canterlot! //-------------------------------------------------------// Canterlot! Once I fell asleep I found myself in a dark room with only a table. The table looked like a tactical table from war movies. There was also two oddities in the room. One was a red pegasus that looked similar to Rainbow Dash, she had her hair spiked and was yellow with a streak of orange.She also had a cutie mark that was a jet with blue flamed behind, I guess that meant speed. She sure looked a hell of a lot faster than Rainbow Dash and looked very aerodynamic. The other one was a human with Pink skin, she had a hair colour like Fluttershy's and she was wearing a nurse outfit that showed off her cleavage very well. She walked around the table and leant over leaving her also pink panties in view. She seemed to be arguing with the red pegasus. I stared for another minute before doing anything. I stood up and rubbed my head. "Where are we?" I asked the two females, I didn't even spare a second thought to the human there. In fact it was good seeing a human because I think I was almost ready to adapt already. The two entities seemed shocked for a second before the red pegasus finally reacted. "Hey he's finally awake, well asleep." I noticed that voice. "Well." The other one said. "How's Pinkie?" I noticed that voice it was the one thinking them lewd thoughts. I wasn't going to press it yet but I also wasn't going to forget it. "Who are you two? And where are we?" The red pegasus was about to answer but she was cut off by the slutty nurse. "Were in you sex dungeon!" She responded like it was nothing. You could tell she was immature and she just looked about 19 years old. She well sized bust's that hypnotised you when you looked at them, which I accidently did. The red pegasus walked over to me and moved my head the opposite way to stop my transe. "Yeah, don't look at them." She advised. I almost looked again but I resisted the urge. "Well for your questions." I took my eyes away from the breasts by looking in the pegasus' orange eyes. "I'm Iris!" She held out her hoof, which I shook reluctantly. My mind was asking one question 'How was I feeling things here?' A question I couldn't answer. She pointed a hoof at the slutty nurse, I almost followed her hoof before I reminded myself not to. "She's Lust!" Lust how unoriginal. I was starting to get an idea what this was so I further investigated my theory. "So then where are we? And why have I been hearing you to when I'm awake?" I asked. I knew exactly what this was but I had to be sure. They seemed shocked at how fast I asked those questions. Lust was not moving on what she said so she repeated it. "It's your sex dungeon!" "Lust!" Iris shouted before answering the real answer. "This is inside the Element." She said. Well I was close enough by thinking I was inside my head. "Any we talk to you through your mind because you've opened up those feelings while we've been here. There are others but they are not recognised yet, so the more you open up the more you get of us." I was about to elaborate but Iris cut me off. "Yes we are what you opened up now. So you got me because you are arrogant." Wow! What a boner killer. "So why are you so smart?" I asked because she seemed to know more than Lust on this. I could tell because of Lust's face was one of confusion "Oh I get the brains because thats one thing you're proud of, being intelligent." Okay that did make sense since I was almost the top of my class with a top A just bordering A+. "So how'd I get Lust." I asked. Then I realised what I asked and stopped them elaborating. "No forget that." I looked at Lust then quickly reverted my gaze to her face. "So it wasn't you who made me perv on Pinkie?" I asked hoping for a certain answer. An answer that I got the opposite of. "Nope but she does have a nice flank even to human standards." Which I had to agree with. One thing caught me in shock, well two things. The first was that Iris agreed with us and the other was why they were girls. I asked about the first point first. "So, why do you agree with that?" "Well because you are proud of your heightened libido and stamina so that make me a perv too." That made too much sense. When the fuck did I start realising this shit. "So why are you girls?" And who would have guessed it Lust was more knowledgeable on this topic. "Well because deep down you have always wanted to try being a girls for a day."She gave a dirty little wink at the end of that sentence, obviously meaning that. Fair enough. Iris stepped in when I was about to carry on asking questions. "You have repressed your feelings since getting here. The more you open up the more of us you can get and the more situations we can help you handle." So they were like advice givers and help keep me emotionally in check, alright. "You've been here enough for one day and you just about to stop at Canterlot now so, have a nice day." She was about to force me back into the real world but I had one more question. "Wait, so how long have I been here?" "5 hours." Shit, time goes fast here. "We can speed up and slow time, but thats for next time you're here." Iris said before I felt as if I was drenched by water. I awoke perfectly dry. Albeit a bit of saliva but dry for the most part. Although the sudden sit up startled the two ponies. Pinkie Pie was still leaning on me when I woke up. "We're almost at Canterlot." I said getting ready to get off. "Not we're not!" Rainbow Dash said as she looked out of the window. That was the moment when Canterlot came into her view. "Oh yeah, we are." She corrected herself. She turned her sights to me. "How did you know that? You was asleep." I just realised I almost give them a clue that something told me it. I just shrugged, which she actually took as an answer. When we arrived at the station I tried to get up but I was blocked by the pink pony leaning on me. "Pinkie we gotta go now." I said indicating for her to get off me. She give the most smug look I ever seen her with and said. "Carry me!" She did this with cute attitude and I would of d'awwwed if this wasn't directed at me. I was about to reject her request when she started pouting. I looked at Dash giving her an accusing glare. She just shrugged, so it wasn't her. So why was Pinkie suddenly acting like this. I looked down and saw Pinkie still pouting, honestly it was cute and I couldn't say no. I sighed before accepting. "Okay." I looked at her as she got off. "How do we do this?" I asked. Pinkie ended making me lost for words again and made Dash blush and run out of the carriage because of what she said. "Princess style." Okay what confused me is how she knew what that was, it was from my world and their bodies were not made for it. I wasn't about to carry Pinkie princess style in Canterlot because I didn't want anyone to think that although I would have liked it to happen but I was in fact not infatuated with the pink earth pony. "Piggyback." I negotiated. She thought for a second and then accepted my gracious offer. She jumped on my back and wrapped her hind legs around me her forelegs wrapped over my shoulders. Once she was on my back she was giggling like a madman. She really reminded me off a little girl hooked on coca cola. I walked out of the train getting glares off everyone I passed. "So where to now?" I asked, I really wanted to go and get some delicacies and make myself weigh more than a train. I was craving sugar. "First let's go to the castle and tell the rest that we're going out." Rainbow Dash instructed with the blush she had before hadn't died down yet. "Oh are we now?" I asked skeptically. I was definitely going away from the castle, but I couldn't care less about them going. I hadn't told them about it either. "Oh c'mon I came with you on the train, the least you can do is hang about with me for one day." She pleaded. She was not going to take lightly on this. I didn't really want her to come with me because I was planning on getting clothes tailored for me today and she would be moaning all the way through. "Well I'm getting clothes made today so, do you still wanna come?" I tried to put her off it by clothes. "Oh then you need my help." She told me. "I'll help design them, make them look awesome." I was giving her a skeptical look. "C'mon the only human on this planet has to look awesome." She tried to bargaining. I was about to decline but I felt Pinkie start rubbing, that bitch. That was probably my biggest weakness women. Lust definitely not helping she was egging the thought on with some graphic images. "Okay, okay!" I said buckling under the pressure of my thoughts and Pinkie's rubbing and agreed. "Hey Pinkie I'm gonna go with Rainbow today, so will ya go an' tell the girls we won't be back for a while?" I asked to save us a trip. "Well okay then!" She sounded disappointed but chirpy at the same time. I felt a tiny bit guilty but I had things to do. As she walked away instead of bouncing, she waved her rump back and forth seductively. Me and Rainbow Dash both were put in a trance by this. I turned around to hear Dash whistling. "Now I'd understand why you like it so much, I'd tap that." She changed her language to chav. "She fucking knows!" I replied in a hushed whisper. Rainbow Dash just shrugged. "Well I didn't tell her." "Well somehow she found out so, who was it?" I asked, I was getting pissed off she couldn't admit it. "It wasn't me!" She said we both were drawing attention from the crowd. 'Trust her! She's not lying!' Iris told me in a irritated tone. "Okay. Let's just move away from that then" I said in a less the enthusiastic tone. I just wanted to go get some new clothes because no matter how many times I washed these they were starting to reek. "Where to first?" She asked. I really wanted to get a change of clothes so we had to do that first. "I need a change of clothes first, then we roam." I said casually. "That's it!" I asked. "What did ya expect a date or something?" I looked at her her cheeks started turning pink but it wasn't enough. "Thought ya didn't swing that way?" I half asked. "I'm bi not gay!" She told me, she actually sounded amused. Shit, she's gonna turn it on me. "Anyway you'd have to be more awesome to get a date off me." 'Is that a challenge I hear?' I heard Lust say in my head. 'No! I'm not accepting!' I thought with vigor but it came to no use. I felt my body go cold as I lost control of it. 'What the fuck did you do?' I asked I was quite scared actually. I felt myself back in the hq with Iris. Who was staring intently at a screen with the view I had. I remembered what I had been pulled back at. 'You better fucking not!' I heard Lust internally laughing. 'Oh I am, I will get you in at least one ponies grasp.' Lust said. 'What the hell does that mean?' 'Oh yeah we made a bet with the others that you'd get with somepony, they said you'd be too frigid. Doesn't matter because we got Lust on our side.' At that moment I heard Lust say in my voice to Dash "Well then I'll come back when I'm awesome enough and we'll have a day out then!" I was surprisingly cockey in that statement. Wow does that what I sound like when I do that? I'm such a tool. Dash's response came out more arrogant than that. "Well I won't have to worry about my hair anytime soon then." She edge closer to Lust.I'm guessing that was a girl joke because it doesn't seem like her to worry about her hair. Going too close to Lust is a bad idea because I watched her lean down to Dash's ear and whisper. "Well you're perfect the way you are." Smooth, even for Lust. Wait did she just quote Bruno Mars. Guess it doesn't matter we are in a different world. Dash didn't reply to that quote instead she just got the shade of red that I wanted her to get and turned away, which Lust began staring at her flank. 'Lust! You fucking bitch!' I shouted- no thought as loud as I can which turns out pretty loud. 'Don't be a spoiled sport you can relax while I take us to a tailors.' She thought well if she's making my life a tad bit harder might as well make it a bit easier as well. 'Fine then, but I'm picking the clothes I don't wanna be a gimp.' I thought .I saw the screen moving in an arch to the left which I'm guessing was her rolling my eyes. 'So what do you mean others?' I asked reverting my attention back to Iris while Lust pointed out mares flanks to Dash. They were making progress though the city and I'm guessing Lust knows where to go. 'Oh that, we talk to them all the time.' She said casually like it was just about shopping. 'What do you mean?' This was confusing me now I thought I had to stop repressing feelings so I could unlock them, like progressing in a game. 'Oh' She realised something. 'We can talk to you and them, but you can only talk to us not them until you stop repressing goddamn feelings.' We ended up talking about food all the way since I got hungry and I quote Iris on saying 'I may be in the shape of an herbivore but I love myself some bacon.' Which I 100% agree with even though I'm an omnivore. Once we were there at a shop I was given back control and the two voices inside my head went silent. Man, it's been one strange day. And this day was starting to get late it must have been about 4 now because the sun was going to set in the sky in a while. I walked into the shop and straight away it looked sketchy, it honestly looked like a demon barbers with all different types of scissors stuck in the wall. "Hello, anyone there?" I asked as loud as I could without shouting. I looked at the actual shop and it looked fine, it was just the scissors in the wall and all the fabrics on the floor. A colt walked out and he looked a bit scrawny and honestly all crazy. Her had the same coloured fur as my skin but his mane looked all over the plane in an orange mess. "Hi I'm Stitch!" He said sounding like an adult Tweak off South Park. At least the introductions were fine. I was about to start talking when I realised his hoof was stuck out. I reluctantly shook it and shook it and shook it. He wouldn't fucking let go. I looked back at Dash for help only to realised she was gone, she had bailed on me. Guess I might as well ask for the clothes. "I need some clothes tailored for me. Can you do it?" As soon as I asked that he was gone. It looked as if he just teleported. Was he related to Pinkie, well I don't know. I heard rattling around in the other room. The colt came back in with some paper and a blueprint in hoofs. "Well I'm glad you came here!" He shouted a bit too loud. He unrolled the blueprint revealing something that looked like it was off the Assassins Creed series. It was a long coat with a hood with a pair of pants and a bandanna. It was creepy for two reasons, One was all the enchantments on it a couple of examples was all the clothes actually turned invisible and the mask actually disguised if needed. The second reason was that it looked crafted for a bipedal of a homosapien sort. The crazed unicorn looked at me for my consent for it. "No!" I rejected. I was probably scary enough too everybody I didn't need the getup as well. "Oh c'mon please?" He begged. I didn't know why he was pressing it so much. 'Maybe because you're the only one who fits the description for it!' Iris offered. 'Oh fuck off Iris.' I thought, it seemed like she had gone away because she didn't reply. "No, I don't want it. I just want some normal clothes." I told him. "It's free?" He offered.It doesn't matter if it's free. "Still no." I said, he was starting to get on my nerves now. Couldn't he just leave it. "I'll throw in a crossbow as well." He offered. 'Where do you get a crossbow here?' "No!" He shouldn't just give me a dangerous weapon with a suit that makes me look like I'm a threat. He decided it was time to play his wild card. "Well if I'm not making this I'm not making anything else." I was about to just walk out empty handed when I reminded myself how many ponies knew how to make clothes for a bipedal. I sighed I knew I would come to regret this, but it was something that had to happen. "Okay then. Just make the damn clothes." He began scribbling on the piece of paper. "Don't you need my measurements?" I asked he didn't even know how big I was. "Already scanned you." He told me without even raising his head. Wow how convenient. "Do you just want these plain?" He asked. This world probably didn't know the patterns I wanted and I couldn't replicate them. "No thanks." He asked a question that needed to be asked. "Is there anything else you wear except pants, shirts and jackets?" He looked at me, I wondered how he knew that I wore a top underneath then I put it down to being a common thing that ponies wore tops underneath their jackets or as I thought tuxedos. "Yeah socks and underpants." He gave me a quizzical look and I started to explain. "Underpants are similar to pants but shorter and made of softer fabrics." I probably should have elaborated that they were usually made of cotton but I forgot. "Socks are..." Hard to explain. I sat down and took my boots off and pulled a sock off. "These!" I said raising it into the air. He grabbed it with telekinesis and brought it over to inspect it. He must have got a whiff of it because he cast a spell on it and then on me, I immediately began to smell a lot better. He threw the sock back at me and said. "Okay got it, that will be 50 bits." I threw him the amount of bits. "Come back in 3 hours I'll have everything done." He told me. Well 3 hours isn't a lot of time to make clothes in, if he can complete them then thats impressive. I put my sock and boot on and almost walked out before I realised something I forgot to ask. "How many sets are you creating?" I asked. "Seven sets one for everyday of the week. You'll have plenty." He looked back at his sheet before saying. "I'm also going to make 14 sets of underpants and socks." He said. It was like he completely knew the whole earth system for wearing clothes. He also didn't seemed to shocked about underwear and socks, which was weird but he is crazy. I walked outside of the shop and saw no one around the shop, not even Rainbow Dash. My ears started to pick up a high pitched whistle, like air being cut through. I stopped walking forward completely and waited for the high pitched noise to get closer, when it got really close it stopped. I kept waiting as I felt the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. I quickly turned around and yelled "Boo!" At the pegasus sneaking up on me. Rainbow Dash was a bit shocked before getting angry. "You flankhole!" She couldn't hide her fear to me so she didn't bother. "So much for being Loyal." I mentioned the Elements and she puffed out her chest before realising what I said and she put on an offended face. "What does that mean?" She sounded angry. "Oh don't give me that, you left me in there on my own." I pointed to the shop. "Where was you?" I asked. "Oh I was meeting the girls, they said we've got rooms in the castle for tonight and meet them at Donut Joe's after you've done your err- erra- er-" She was fucking up the word errand, how dumb is she? "Errand?" I offered. "Yeah that, are you done yet?" She asked since I had nothing in my hands. "Not yet I gotta go back in a couple of hours for them." I told her. "But we can go Donut Joe's now." I told her. "Oh yeah lets go!" She shot away. I just stood still while she flew off. A couple of seconds later she was back with a sheepish face on. "Whoops forgot you can't fly." We began the walk to Donut Joe's when she said. "You know you could have just asked Rarity for clothes instead of asking some crazy guy for some." She told me. "I know, I just didn't want girly clothes." She probably agreed with me. There was literally no-one in sight when we heard a loud noise behind us. I knew that noise and if it was that we was in trouble. Rainbow Dash flinched for a couple of seconds the noise was so loud. I grabbed Rainbow Dash and ran down the nearest back street and stuck near the wall. "You can come out I'm not going to hurt ya." Someone with a Texas accent shouted. I popped my head out a slight but only to have a barrel next to me explode. It was what I thought it was a gunshot. "Honor come on out and I wont hurt your friend." "What is he talking about?!" Rainbow Dash said in a hushed whisper. I shrugged my shoulders. "Who are you?" I shouted to him. "Oh no names here soldier boy!" He shouted back. "I'm the Element of Treachery." "That's not an Element!" Dash said clearly confused on what this Element was. "I'll explain later." I said she didn't press because we was covering from the handgun the man was firing. For all she knew a cannon was trying to hit us. "Come out Honor!" He shouted, he didn't sound pissed he actually sounded like he was enjoying himself. " No more causing Chaos among these ponies." This for some reason got me riled up. Honor wasn't Chaos! Them words kept going through my head. "You're just going to cause them pain come out so we can finish this!" He shouted, Rainbow Dash was looking at me shocked I was seriously getting pissed off now. My body was starting to lose control of itself. 'Do it' Something said. I didn't have to think of what to do, my body pulled the spike out of the handle of the knife and hid it up my jackets sleeve. I walked out with me hands up. The man was actually a chief of police from back home yet moving here had changed him this much. He was wearing a black bullet proof vest on and had a black stetson on, the edge of them had crystal wings on them. The man shot a bullet at me, I did the only thing people would do and flinched. About three seconds later I had realised I hadn't been hit by the bullet and a blue bubble was around me. "So you're Elements protecting you from projectiles. Come here so I can kill ya!" At that moment I heard Dash whimper, she was terrified. "Don't worry pony your next!" He said in a sly tone. Dash still couldn't moved, she was frozen stiff being terrified. I walked towards him and stood about three meters away from him. As he was taking the next steps he told me this. "Don't worry I'll make you mare friends death as painless as possible." Those last words sent me over the edge and I pulled out the spike and before he realised it I had hit him in the heart. He fell to the floor with a thud that made me happy. Happy he couldn't hurt my friends , he couldn't kill anyone anymore. I saw the hole I made healing up. Shit he's not dead. I stabbed him in the head to make sure I had time to do everything. I put the spike back in the handle of my blade and grabbed three things off his body. One was his gun which was a smith and wesson revolver and it was loaded with enchantments, one was so it ran by magic from the surrounding area not the bullets. I grabbed his hat and threw it off him so he couldn't use his Element and I grabbed his knife so he couldn't hurt anything else. "Dash it's okay it's over now. " I shouted to Dash how not came out from her hiding stop I helped her in. She had been crying, I didn't know when that started but she had. Infact I didn't have much control over much that happened. She looked at the body and I was sure she was about to start crying again but she held it in. "I need you to get some rope." She flew off to the nearest place they had rope and got some, it wasn't very far away because she was back within a minute. I ended up tying him to a nearby tree for guards to deal with. I turned my attention back to Dash just in time to see her faint. 'What the hell do I do now?' I thought. 'You're gonna have to carry her.' The same male voice as before said. 'Who are you?' I asked the new voice. 'Oh me I'm Dexter' 'What should we do with Dash then?' I asked Dexter 'Eww Lust that's discusting. Iris says carry her and now Lust does too' 'Why don't they tell me themselfs?' I asked trying not to sound impolite with the phrase. 'You can only talk to us one at once.' I just accepted it there because if I didn't my mind would explode with how complacated this situation is. Once I had put Dash into a piggy back pose where she would be comfatable I started to make my way to where Donut Joe's was, I only found it because of Lust remembering where it was for reasons invoving using a donut as a fleshlight. Dash stirred in her sleep and I put her down on a bench. She groaned and then woke up "Just had the weirdest dream." I decided to let her play it off as a dream so she wouldn't have nightmares for the rest of her life. "Well good job dreams aren't real or this would be weird." "Yeah it's still weird just not as wierd." She said as she bagan walking towards Donut Joe's, I'm glad she didn't question why she was here or I would of had to explain which I didn't feel like doing. Once we entered the confectionary shop we were suprised to see the Princess eating cake with them. With her size she probably ate the whole cake to herself. We sat down at the table after a greeting. Rarity was the one to speak first. "So what did you do today?" Me and Dash looked at each other because no one wanted to tell her I went to get clothes from a crazy guy. So we didn't. "Oh I just went to a shop ordering some bits and bobs." I said smugly. AppleJack looked at me like she knew I was lying. Fucking ponyfied lie detectors. I actually wasn't lying, just bending the truth thats why I think she left it. About 5 minutes later the Princess pulled me away from the group with her to order some milkshakes and thank god she did because I needed to talk to her. "We need to talk." We said in unison. "Okay you first." I said letting the Princess talk first. "We can't descuss it here, we'll talk when we are back at the castle." She said. I grabbed two of the milkshakes with my hands and she grabbed the rest. We went back to the table and acted like nothing happened. //-------------------------------------------------------// The New Attire! / The Talk! //-------------------------------------------------------// The New Attire! / The Talk! Once we decided to head home from Donut Joe's I went the opposite way. I still had to pick up my new clothes from Stitch, although I had warmed up to the attire he wanted me to wear it was the crossbow I wanted the most. Fuck I had a pistol that run off magic now, but I wanted the damn crossbow. At first I was against it, but if I didn't have the spike from my knife I would have been dead. So then I decided I needed a weapon that was long range for defense. 'You can't get the crossbow! What would your freinds say?' Dexter tried to convince. 'Nope, getting it, you saw what happened when I didn't have it!' My mind wasn't changing about this, me and Dash could have died. 'God your such a bitch, it doesn't matter now you handled it!' He taunted. 'The guy who tried to kill us is still alive, he's definately coming back though.' I thought logically and Dexter didn't, it seemed he didn't like being on my side for anything. 'Yeah and you just stab him again!' 'Oh if it's that fucking easy why didn't he die!' Now I was getting pissed off at the voices in my head. This wasn't something I expected to encounter in my life. I felt a twitch of pressure in my head. It turned out that Iris had took the spot of the one that can talk to me. 'Will you two please stop arguing your gonna give me a migraine!' She complained. 'Oh shut it! Your can't feel fuck all!' I thought, pushing her back into my head and letting Dexter take the hotspot again. Before he had a chance to speak I cut him off. 'Listen! If you keep on arguing with me I'll let Lust talk to me instead, capiche?' I thought in a stern tone. Well as much as I could get it in my head. 'Okay *sigh*' He had finally given up, I was able to enjoy some peace and quite. I was still quite a while away from Stitch's place so I decided to get more information on what I call the 'HQ' 'Hey Dexter!' I thought getting his attention. 'Yeah?' 'Do you know how the HQ works?' I asked I wanted to know this information just in case of an emergency. 'By HQ I assume you mean the center of the Element, then yes I do.' I walked around a corner and almost ran into some pony, I moved around them and asked a question. 'So how come I can feel in there?' 'Oh thats just the Element sending small shockwaves into your nerves, once you withdraw you will be able to feel things properly and see us all at once.' He replied nonchalountly. 'Withdraw? What does that mean?' I asked, honestly I probably shouldn't have because I knew I would get mindfucked from knowing it. It seemed as if Dexter knew this as he gave me the simplefied version. 'Well basically you have only half withdrawn so far, withdrawing is where your body is put inside the Element and it's like as you say a HQ.' What he just said actually sounded pretty cool. 'That sounds like it would be fun to do, can anything go wrong with it?' 'No, since the Elements are some of the most powerful things in this world nothing can damage them.' 'So basically I could piss off the Princess hop back into HQ and watch her rage?' I asked, this was beggining to sound interesting. It was obvious that Dexter was on my side for once this time as he egged me on. 'Do it, I dare you!' He stopped for a moment and started laughing. 'Ahhhh, it seems Iris doesn't want to do it. Are you too chicken Iris?' There was no sound for a moment before he started laughing again. 'What?' I asked this is why I wanted to go back to HQ because I miss out on all the fun out here. 'She's going bezerk!' He said between chuckles. I felt a tinge of pain in my chest. 'Tell her to calm down before she lays an egg!' I commanded him to. I know he did it because he went silent for while before Iris was in the hotseat. 'What did you say about an egg?' She said in a malicious tone. I assumed that Dexter was dead or at least as dead as he could be in there. 'Well I said that it better not be like a hen house when I get in there.' I quickly kicked her off and replace her with Lust. Lust affermed that Iris was pissed when she spoke next. 'Man, Iris is hot when she's mad.' She seemed to only had noticed then that she was in hotseat. 'Oh hi Cole.' She greeted. I felt my mind going into dirty images about Iris and what Lust would do to her if she had a penis. 'God Lust, do you ever stop thincking about sex?' I asked wondering if she ever though about something else. 'It's all in the name' She created clicking noises with her tongue. How she did it I don't know, what I do know is that not everybody can pull that off and she wasn't one of the entities that could. 'Well we're here now so stop injecting dirty images into my mind.' The words of choice wasn't the best one's. It was easy for Lust to make a comeback from that because of my poor choice of words. 'Then you inject something with you're-' I kicked her out of the hotseat and made sure no one else could talk to me for a while, for the first time in that day I actually felt lonley. I walked into Stitch's shop and yelled. "Hello, you there Stitch?" As soon as I shouted that a caffine pumped pony appair next to me, Stitch seemed about one step down from Pinkie's hyperness. "Hi there, since you didn't come as soon as you need to I also had time to make a holster for your crossbow." He got straight to the point, that's one of the reasons that I like him. I was waiting for some kind of witty sex joke, but then I remembered I kicked Lust off the hotseat. "But that doesn't mean I'm happy about you taking your time." His whole mood changed into a scary one, the shop seemed to darken and there was a bolt of lightning. Fuck how scary would this be if Pinkie flipped out, Holy shit! "So I decided that you would have to wear my custom made attire out of the shop." He told me. I was okay with this as long as he didn't flip out again, that was scarier than anything else since I got here, even the manticore. "Okay then, but you will have to teach me how to use the discuise system.'' I said trying to buy some time before I had to walk out in the sketchy attire. "Don't need to, you just have to think of what you want and it will look like that." Now I had completly warmed up to it. It sounded cool and I got a free crossbow with it. All I need now is a flint and tinder and I could have meat again in the herbivore world. "Okay then that sounds good. What about the normal clothes?" I asked, in the moment I had been in thought he had pulled out 7 meduim sized boxes. He pointed at the boxes and I opened one of them, it was empty. I opened another, empty. I wasn't gonna waste my time just to find out there all empty. "So where are they?" I asked. A giant smirk plastered across his face and her sat down on his haunches. "There in you bag!" He told me. How would he have put them in my bag that would have been impossible without alerting me. My bag was built into my jacket and was meant for holding cloth so it would be in the right place. I took my jacket off and began to unzip the back. "There is no way it's in-" I looked in the back of the jacket just to see all the clothes I ordered, there was all different colors of jogging pants and shirts. I was guessing there was the underwear and socks at the bottom of it. I zipped it back up and put my jacket back on, the weirdest thing about it was that there was no bulge from the clothes. I had seriously given up now, I had saw Pinkie put a suitcase into her mane, but I didn't think it was possible to do it to anything on me. "Well I'm about to close soon, so put these on and get out." He threw me the clothes and pointed me to a changing room. I walked in and changes into the clothes I realised how cramped the room was when I tried to take my pants off. I also realised how damaged the pants were when I got them off. I was gonna throw these away when I got back, but I decided to let Stitch keep them incase I ever wanted replicas of them for hunting. I probably would never need them as in my new clothes I could descuise myself as the air, a thing I'm sure these ponies never thought of but oh well my idea now. Once I got my new attire I walked out the changing booth to see Stitch looking at his creation. It was a blue longcoat with a hood and a bandanna that covered half of my face just leaving my eyes, the pants were made out of the same material and they were loose enough to feel confy and not like McHammer pants. The pants actually made my boots part of the attire which I assume is one of the enchantments on it. I gave Stitch a twirl which made the two tails on the long coat fly out, it looked awesome.But I think that was just Dexter or Iris thinking. I still looked like a twat. "Well give it a try!" He egged me on to use it. I did the one thing I could think of at that moment, air. I turned assentually invisible. "Wow, didn't know it could do that." He said genually sounding shocked. "What are you descuised as?" I turned back to normal and told him. "Well air really, it's the only transparent thing I can think of at the moment." "Well let's get you off before you mare freind starts to worry about you." He said giving a sly wink and handing me the crossbow in it's holster with a couple of arrows in a quiver attached to the holster which was kind of cool. I ignored his insult and put the holster over my shoulder and waved goodbye taking only my jacket from the room. Of course my underwear and socks were still on but it was still only my jacket out of the items of clothing I took off. Once I was outside I put the jacket on and zipped it up, next stop the castle. I walked towards the castle as the sun set, the night impeading the sun. It was just light enough to see without a light sorce. I was almost at the castle gates, on the gates were two guards they both had golden armor and looked similar to each other. In fact all of them looked the same, they were like stormtroopers. I doubt they would let me in with a crossbow strapped to my back and I want to test them anyway, so... I was about to have a little fun. 'Oh you can't be serious!' He shouted/ thougth as I walked into a backstreet. 'Hey your not dead.' I thougth while going to a place I could climb so I could see above the castle walls. The only place I found was some kind of tower. I'm guessing it was a bell tower. 'Don't try to change the subject!' What subject? He didn't tell me we was talking about something. 'You know this plan is likley to fail.' He was bacically being a statistics report. 'Yeah I know I'm only trying to test them.' I thought he was smarter than this and also could read my thoughts. 'Look I'm not gonna hurt anyone so calm the hell down!' I thought. I swear if I could see him right now he would be fuming. 'Don't. Get. Hurt.' His words was almost as funny as Kevin Heart... on a rollercoaster. He thought I was going to get hurt, why? I had just reached the tower when I had noticed why. It was fucking tall enough to kill me with the drop. 'Oh well here goes nothing.' I thought before I climbed up some nearby boxes that would get me onto a roof next to the tower. I had a bit of parkour training in an after school club, just enough for this to be easy. I got onto the roof and looked up the tower. The had perches for birds about 5 inches thick, it's like they wanted me to climb it. There was one every meter up or so, this would be a peace of cake. I jumped up and grabbed the first one pulling myself up on a endent in the building where the bricks have a gap in them from constrution mistakes. I stood on it with both feet while I grabbed the next one. I pulled myself up on the next one from a little gap I think would be a good place for someone with a bow and arrow. This may have been an old watch tower, it certantly looked unused. Once I was up on the fifth one up my foot slipped and I would have dropped all the way down if it wasn't for me holding onto the next perch. The bar underneath me stopped like just under a ruler away from my crown jewels. I quickly put my feet on the perch and made sure I had balance before I started climbing up to the next one. Getting up the rest of the tower went without a hitch and I made it up safe. Well as safe as I could. I climbed into the empty space that was the watch place thingy. I had no clue what it was called so I'm calling it the watch place thingy. Once I was in there I looked back towards the castle. It turned out that Canterlot's castle was on a cliff. Luckily the castle's land was massive and was so expansive that you could have to walk about three miles to fall off. I looked for something that would be in reach and would stay together if I shot it with a bolt from the crossbow. The only thing I found that would do that was a tree. I sighed and took my jacket off. 'Do you really think this is going to work?' Dexter was actually pissing me off, but it was reasonable because this was quite a stupid plan. 'Dude, change of physics and this jacket is quite strong chances are it would work.' I told him. It was a lie but he bought it. I took the crossbow off my back and held my jacket in front of it after I aimed. I commmeced the countdown. "3...2...1 *Click*" The blow made an quite clicking noise and a second later had stuck in the tree, the fabric silenced the impact noise and almost stopped it from sticking in. 'Holy shit! That worked!' Dexter was skeptic about the whole plan for a good reason. I was also suprised it worked but I hid it well. I began my descent down the tower and made it down safely. I began heading towards the castle again to get past the guards with my crossbow. 'You know you could have just walked into it if you just gave them the crossbow.' There was his second attempt to get rid of the crossbow. He just wants to piss me off, doesn't he? I ignored his attempt as I pushed him back in my mind and brought Iris forward. I didn't think she knew as she was silent so I just left her be. I reached the street neat the castle and changed to invisble, I was glad to find out when objects were in clothing they still turned invisible with the clothes. So as my knife and crossbow was concealed I walked past the guards through the gates. What was funny is one of the guards felt my presence. "Did you feel that?" The guard on the right asked. The guard on the left decided to make fun of him, with a chuckle he answered. "Ooh, maybe it was a ghost!" He spoke in a mocking tone. Oh I just had to do this. I descuised myself as death and walked back to near the gate. I also imagined the syche, I couldn't use it because it was just an illusion but it being there made it all the better. They still hadn't noticed me so I decided to make a dramatic entrance. "I HAVE COME TO TAKE THE SOULS OF TWO ROYAL GUARDS!" My voice boomed these words. The two guards were startled by the sudden shouting, but they didn't turn around straight away. It took them a couple of seconds to comprehend the words, they slowly turned around to check what it was. What they saw was a bipedal skellington in a robe with a hood and a sythe. They were terrified, as soon as they saw me there eyes shrank to pinpricks, another second later they were gone sprinting fast enough to shame a car. I was actually quite shocked that they ran away, I expected them to try and arrest me so I would have to turn invisible and get into the castle, but nooo. They ran. "Huh, newbies." I said figuring that was the only possible way they would have ran. It seemed as if Iris had just found out she was in the hotseat. 'Wow, that was cruel man.' What is it with these voices and pissing me off, well except Lust she had a good reason and she's hot so I can take some fustration. I walked around the castle in my normal form, I didn't need a discuise to walk around the castle. I was almost at the throne room when I remembered I forgot my jacket outside. ''Oh for-'' I almost shouted before I ran back outside. I went over to the tree and pulled the bolt out of my jacket and caught it before it fell to the ground. As I was walking back I looked at the gate where the guards used to be there was still no one there. Damn, I was going to have to tell Celestia about that although she might be pissed because it's my fault. I walked back to the spot I was before, right outside the throne room. How was I going to say that there are more on this planet than just me. You know what I'll just barge in and say it. Not my best idea but still far from worse. 'That is a terrible idea destined to go wrong.' I put my jacket on so I had nothing in my hands and ignored Iris' buzzkill. I took a deep breath and pushed the doors open. I was met by a suprised Celestia sitting on her throne, I didn't bother to take a look around the room before I said what I wanted to say. "I'm not the only human!" I finally took a look around the room, there was the Element's of Harmony and a human teenager. She had hair like Celestia's and light blue eyes. "Well fuck, you found out already!" Just slipped out of my mouth. I heard Iris facepalming and she gave up the hot seat. Lust took her position and as her name intends, she acted like. 'Wow she's got nice tit's and she's about your age.' I would have facepalmed but everyone was looking at me now. Celestia decided she was going to take the first step since I was too shocked, why? Why did she know already? Is there a way to get back? "Cole, meet my daughter Anna." Celestia walked over to me and I think she tried to put her wing around me because she understood my shock. I stepped away from her the word she used 'daughter' It wasn't right, like at all. "What do you mean daughter?" I asked with unintentional venom slipping into my voice. I don't know why but something about the daughter thing pissed me off. 'Calm down Cole, you don't want to do something you will regret.' Dexter gave some good advice that would fall upon death ears. Lust must have gave up the hotseat when she felt the wave of anger brewing. "Well Cole, this is my daughter, she's one of your kind.'' She stated the obvious. "She has been her since she was a foal.'' "Baby." I corrected. The venom in my voice being hard to contol now. I was angry for Anna, she never was with her own kind, she wasn't human technically. By DNA she was but by soul she was a pony. "If there is another human here, how come nobody knows about humans then?" The questions were just coming in, but what got to me is why nobody knew what I was when I first came here. After the first day out they warmed up to me but that's because I was seen with a pony that was freinds with most people on the town. "Well that's because she has never been out of the castle, the only ponies that have seen her are the maids, and some of the guards. That is apart from the Princess'. " That boiled my blood, a human ripped of there world but that wasn't the end she was also ripped of her freedom. "You what!?" I shouted unable to contain my anger anymore. Celestia visably flinched at my sudden out burst of anger, she must have expected something else. Royal guards had there spears and swords at ready to kill me if I tried to attack the Princess. "At ease guards." Celestia called, she wasn't scared of me. She could restrain me. "Well I didn't want to cause a disturbance." She said. "So you care about more about your kingdom then your own daughter?" Now she was pissing me off. Anna was just standing there a bit startled. She was mostly confused at why I was angry, she also looked a tiny bit upset. I have no clue why. 'Maybe because your shouting at her mother! Or she finally met someone who knows what she is and it starts off terribly.' Dexter offered. "Well-um -no, but... You have to understand it's for her own saftey." She tried to plead, she may have been a good Princess but it certainly looked like she was a bad mother. "So you doubt your own kingdom?!" I was on shouting level now, even Celestia was backing off a bit. The Element's of Harmony looked shocked and had no clue what to do. Anna was starting to get a tear in her eye, but I didn't really notice that. Celestia lowered her head and she also had a tear in her eye. I was right, I got to her because I had got it spot on. "It was for her own protection." She whimpered. That was an excuse and it wasn't reasonable, Celestia was trying to make a good kingdom and she was worrying about everbody attacking her own adopted daughter. 'Calm the fuck down already, actually get out of there before you do something you regret!' He was right I needed to get out of there before I did something I regret. I sighed, I was going to have to leave before I did something although I was too pissed off to not take another jab before I went. "You know what, if this is all I'm getting; Fuck you!" I said, I was about to turn and walk away but I couldn't just leave fully. "I'll come back when you can give me something fucking better than your lame excuses." I spat venom out with my words. I stormed off to the exit and almost reach it before I was interrupted. "Wait!" It wasn't a voice I heard before, but I could tell by it that she was upset. It was most likley Anna. I was about to carry on when I was essentially tackled from behind. "Please don't go!" Anna pleaded, she may have been raised by ponies, but she must have found comfort by being near her own kind. "Your the only one of my kind I have met, so please don't leave me alone." It was getting hard to be mad now, all I wanted to do right now was to hug her and tell her I wouldn't leave her alone. 'Just do it then!' Dexter was trying to coax me into doing it. Anna let go of me and sat with her legs crossed and was giving me a puppy dog look that made it even harder to say no. I stood up and looked at her, as I was about to turn around I looked into her eyes and saw sadness in her eyes. I sighed. "Okay then, I wont leave." I saw a smile on everybodies faces, it was annoying I wasn't one for these sappy 'Oh you've just met the only one of you kind moments'. Anna didn't waste a second to start glomping me.She was a pony at heart. I felt Dexter going to the back of my head and someone come forward, it was Iris. 'Hey on the bright side the Princess won't be mad at you for shouting at her like that now.' She said as I pried Anna off my face. As soon as I preid Anna off my face she put her feet on the ground and pressed her face against mine in a more the freindly kiss. It must have been normal for them to kiss as the Princess didn't look angry. As soon as I turned beetroot red she must have realised that it meant more back home that it did here. She pulled Anna away from my lips with her telekenisis and told her: "Well Anna I think you getting ahead of yourself." She said descreetly giving her the hint. I was still there dazed and red as a tomato. 'Way to fuck it up!' ' //-------------------------------------------------------// A Trip To Remember! //-------------------------------------------------------// A Trip To Remember! (If you don't like depressing or gory scenes skip to the next chapter, you may miss some of the story though) After the awkward moment Rainbow Dash walked over to me while the rest went with Celestia. "Smooth. Picking up all the mares aren't you?" She mocked in a sly tone. "Women." I corrected. "What?" Rainbow Dash was confused at my sudden corection. "Our females are called women not mares." I told her, she either understood that it was different or just didn't bother asking why it was different. "Okay then. So then there are other humans on this planet then." Her eyes shrank to pinpricks. "Wait does that mean..." She paused not finishing her question. Is she asking what I think she's asking. 'Just play it off, she can't know.' Iris quickly spat giving me the idea. "What?" "That dream I had was real, wasn't it?" Not enough detail for me to play it off Rainbow. "What dream?" I asked putting a skeptcal look on my face before smoothing down to realisation. "Oh that dream, why what do you mean?" I asked trying to play it off. I was a good actor but this was out of my comfort zone. "The dream with the other human." She said like it was common knowledge. Well it was to me and her but no one else knew. I decided to put on a bitof fake anger and shout a tiny bit. "You mean that you predicted this and didn't tell me?!" I think she bought it because she backed off a little. "Oh!" She must have thought she told me but she didn't. This let me play off the lie perfectly. I sighed just to make it authentic. "Well...It's in the past now and we already know so let push this behind us to avoid any awkward situations." I told her a quick lie to stop the argument. "Yeah... Oh yeah!" It sounded as if she just remembered something. "Twilight asked the Princess's for someone to teach you the Equestrian way." Oh for fuck sake. "So who will teach me then?" I asked in a mock enthusiasm, my manners was enough to get by. "Your's truely." She said puffing her chest out and putting a hoof to it. Oh there is something so wrong with this situation. I literly burst out laughing the pressure was too much. "Bwaaaahahahaah... You teach me, damn I don't wanna be posh but I at least want to know something." I had already said it before I realised. She seemed to take extreme offense to this and started to fly towards the door before she stopped. "Just so you know it's not just me it's all the girls, jerk!" She spoke before she flew out of the door. 'You seem to have a way of fucking up everything.' Iris told me casually. 'Yeah, where do I get that from?' I asked, I was also trying to make sense of the situation, but it wasn't working. 'Well I don't know that either. So when are you going to apoligize?' She asked impatiently, of course leave it up to a girl to team up with a girl. I'm just so glad Lust isn't all emotianal, except she thinks with my dick. "I'm going, I'm going!" I said out loud accedentaly. I looked around and was glad to find out that no one was in here. I walked to the door where I was tackled by Pinkie Pie. As I hit the floor she hit my stomach releasing all the air manually. I made sure I had my breath back before speaking. It was a good thirthy seconds before I did. "What the hell are you doing Pinkie?" I asked wondering why the sudden assualt was neccesary. She still hadn't let go before she answered. "Just giving my favourite male a hug." Of course as soon as they find out there is a human female then I'm almost out of the picture. Then again it's not like they need me, I'm a Element of Chaos and they're trying to kil me. So all in all, I'm not needed by anyone. I was getting depressed by the sudden realisation and felt my stomach drop. How long before I dissapear for noone to notice. To find my way back later to find out no one cares. "Hey now, don't look so sad, put a smile on that face." "I got something I need to do." I said before pushing the pink pony off me lightly and getting up. I took one last look at her and started walking. I could see me being depressed affected her. Her puffy mane falling limp and going pinky-grey. I walked away I couldn't make someone so happy so depressed without feeling bad. I began to run as soon as I was out in the hallways I need to get somewhere that nobody could see me, so nobody could catch my tears. 'Dude stop your about to make a mistake.' Iris was sounding desparate now, it seemed almost ominous. 'Funny how you say that when just a second ago you told me I'm a walking mistake machine.' I thought. I was really depressed now. Even my voices were telling me stuff that was offending me, my own realisation brought me to caring about stuff that would usually be something that made me smile, such as a healthy argument. I felt a pang of guilt in my chest, but it wasn't me it was Iris she knew what she said offended me deep down. I just plaster on a fake smile and convince myself it wasn't offensive. These words didn't sound mine, they sounded alien but it was really how I felt. 'Look your not going to get replaced,' I wasn't listening, I was going to get replaced. It was going to happen, I knew it. 'Anna needs you right now and you are just running away.' 'Oh the irony, your using the one person against my idea's who is going to replace me.' I felt Iris realising it, she knew it too. Were just as replacable as the next human that comes to this planet. We wasn't needed here, we're just intergalatic tourist's come just for the reason of being there. I was back at the bottom of the watch tower when I realised I had ran here, tears falling down my cheeks. I climed up the tower just trying to forget hoping this was a dream, none of today happened. Today was a terrible day, I tried to kill someone (even if it was self defence) and I had realised I was replacable even though I thought I was the only human on this planet. I was up at the top of the tower when I sat down at the edge and stuck my feet over the ledge. It feels nice knowing that you could just end it any second, it feels relaxing. 'Dude, you can't think like that. Just move somewhere else on this planet I doubt they've got humans there.' Iris had a point, but knowing my luck there will be a human there too, just waiting to stop me from living a good life there. I wasn't about to jump, but I found a bit of peace knowing it was an option. 'You know what Iris, let's try your idea and see where we find.' I thought, trying to make the best out of it. It wasn't working very well, but I hoped it was enough to convince Iris. It would make me happier if they were happy. 'It would be good to stay here with your freinds.' She said less than enthusiastically.The depression was now getting to her. 'What freinds? they think I'm a Element of Harmony thats the only reason they try with me, once they find out they won't want to be freinds anymore.' I was truely convinced on this. I felt like just freefalling and letting it all go, just to be a bit of trouble to the next civillian to see me paint the pavements. This gave me a chuckle, wow suicidal jokes thats how sad I am. I'm just sat there staring out at nothing, thinking whatever I'm thinking. I must have been thinking about tv back home (Man I missed it) because I heard a distinct noise from one. I tried to ignore it but I couldn't it seemed to be getting louder. Is this my brain trying to comfort itself, it was too late anyway I was probably crzy now anyway because of the voices in my head. Just as I was getting pissed off the noise stopped. Oh thank god I don't have to bash my brains out agains a brick. I heard a creek behind me that put me on edge, without thinking in pulled out my revolver and turned aiming at the entity that created the noise. With what I saw my jaw almost dropped. It wasn't my head doing the noises, it was this. The big blue box, the time machine. The T.A.R.D.I.S. Why was it here? I realised I completly lept away from the edge when I heard it now I was on my feet I walked over to the big blue box and did the one stupidest thing. Knocked on it, well tried. As I brought my fist down to the wood, I got the worst electric shock I had ever felt, fuck man. I heard a chuckle next to me and as I turned I saw a brown stallion with a hour glass as a cutie mark. "That was not smart." He said with a small smile on his face. "You seem to know what the T.A.R.D.I.S is, may I ask how?" He asked. "Well you from a show from my home, well except your more human." I said. He seemed to know where I'm from because of his words tipped me off. "Oh your from that universe." "Do you know it?" I asked getting my hopes up. It would be a way home. "I'm afraid not, I need the other me's to open up their T.A.R.D.I.S's..." He must have realised that I wouldn't understand this. "Well it's basically I need to have the other Doctor's to open some sort of portal to get into their universe." Oh. He lowered his head a bit. "And since-" "There's no Doctor in my universe, there's no one to open it." I said interrupting him knowing fully well what the problem was now. He nodded his head for me being correct, he seemed happy for a second maybe because someone knows at least the vauge basics of it. After about 3 millaseconds his smile faultered and he seemed sad again. I was slowly starting to remember why I was up here and the depression was coming back. "So why are you here then?" I asked. His mood went dark and I could tell this was realy serious. "There is something you need to see." He said not giving me any details. He pointed a hoof at the side of the T.A.R.D.I.S and opened a door. So the front wasn't the front quite smart. He ushered me in and shut the door behind himself. He started to flip something and press others, not giving me any detail about where we're going. He was completly silent all the time he was toggling the date and other things. I braced myself for mild motion sickness when he pulled it but nothing, well it was a hell of a lot smoother than on the show. Once we had traveled there the Docter ushered me out and shut the door behind him, again. I saw Ponyville completly destroyed I ran to the library and opened the door. This was one of the only stable accomadations. I looked inside to find that all the Elements of harmony were there dismembered. Ripped apart limb from limb, limbs scattered the room and there were 6 poles ahead of me. One of the mane 6's head on each. Under their head were there Elements, I walked over and took a closer look they were all broken. Destroyed. I felt my adrenaline rushing and anger flowing through my veins. I looked around and saw a note on the desk it looked like a letter. I walked over and began to read it out loud. "A man came over earlier looking for Cole but instead of asking directly he asked for his Element. We told him about how Cole had ran away two years earlier and he seemed angry. Very angry. He told us to us to get him back here or the consequences would be devastating, he also told us he would be back in 3 hours and-" The rest of the letter was covered in blood. I had a tear in my eye again. It was my fault my freinds were dead, it was my fualt their heads were there up on the spikes when it should have been mine. "That's not all." He took us back to the T.A.R.D.I.S and moved us to Canterlot. No, no! It cant be. Canterlot was in a similar state to Ponyville, but all the ponies that were usually out were slaughtered, they were dismembered, they were blood on my hands. I ran around the blood ridden Canterlot minding where I stepped. There was no heads at all they were all gone, I assume who ever did this was using them as trophies. I sprinted to the castle as fast as my legs could hold me. Once I got to the castle I was met with a shock, all around the castle was the heads that were missing from the ponies. Something else bothered me, there was full foals and fetus's on spikes on the floor in front of the castle. The scene was almost making me throw up, whoever did this was a sick bastard and powerful beyond measures. I walked into the castle and into the throne room to find two Princess's murdered and stuffed onto their thrones. There was also a couple near the bottom, the was a pink alicorn and a white unicorn. The pink alicorn had a loveheart as her cutie mark and on it was something that shocked me a hand print. A hand print. I looked at it from a different angle and saw that her tail was forcably raised. It almost made me sick, through her stomach she had a spike and her stomach looked swelled, she was pregnant. The spike was the only thing keeping her up. The unicorn was actually still alive, but he didn't seem to register me, he looked completly frozen by magic and his eyes never left the alicorn. I didn't know what to make of this sight it was hell on earth. This was something only a sick bastard could think of doing let alone doing it. Not even the Holocaust wasn't this bad, this made me sick to my stomach. I wanted to throw up but my body was keeping it down. My ears perked up as I heard a faint sound from the corner. I walked over to the place I heard it from and I was shocked beyond all measures of what I thought I could be. Right there on the floor was Anna, her dress ripped and her womanhood showing, it looked stretched and forcably entered and it was leaking seamen, her ass had the same handprints on as before. Her chest was rising up and down, she was alive and whimpering. Her legs looked broken and one of her ribs were popping out. I knew I was crying at the scene and I couldn't care less, I ran over to her and grabbed her in my arms, her head was slightly higher than the rest of her body now. When she saw me she looked shocked, she didn't say anything to me and that made me feel guiltier this was my fault. She slowly reached in to my thigh and grabbed my knife, I couldn't stop her even if I wanted to. She desearved to get away from all this trauma. She looked away from me and rammed the the knife into her stomach. Blood splattered out of her mouth, but something was weird about it. It looked too thick. This person had forced himself on not only a pregnant alicorn, but also an innocent girl. I think he did it in all the places he could, but I didn't want to find out. Once Anna had stopped breathing I pulled the knife out of her stomach and closed her eyes with the other. I put the knife back into the holster and picked up Anna. "Take me back to Ponyville." I commanded, standing up with Anna's corpse over my shoulder. The Doctor grimaced. "With that thing?" He asked a hoof pointing at the corpse. I gave him the meanist glare I could, which must have been quite scary because me gulped audiably and took him comment back. "I mean with her? Okay then come on, I'll take you back." We got into the T.A.R.D.I.S and he took me back to Ponyville, he knew where I was going because he took me back to near the library. I had a iron face on the whole time, I couldn't even tell if I had feelings for a while, I just felt empty. I walked into the library and laid Anna down in front of my freinds I took a step back and looked at them. It was one of the most horrerfying things I ever saw. I felt a flood of emotion come back to me and I didn't care to let it out. I got down on to my hands and knees in a praying position and started to let all my tears out. "I'm so sorry guy's. This is all my fault. If I just trusted that you guys were in need of me I wouldn't have made a rash decision and this wouldn't have happened." I cried and cried. My freinds were dead because of me being useless. Because of me being useless people were brutally murdered and raped. All of Equestria are dead because of me being a dick. "I know that I shouldn't have thought that I would be replaced." I put a hand on Anna's "I know I should have at least tried before leaving." I now hand both hand stretched out onto Anna's left hand. "I know that I should have been the one to die instead." As I said this I earned a cough off the Doctor, who was wearing a big smile. "You don't know much about time travel do you?" I shook my head, I only watched his show once or twice and I didn't like it really, but I knew who he was because of his show being so popular. "Well there are some things that are locked in place and have to happen." I was about to start crying again, he had given me hope (albeit only a bit) and then smashed it. "This wasn't actually meant to happen so this moment isn't one of them." He had brought me here so I could make sure this wouldn't happen. Although I wouldn't choose to see this is I had the choice, I'm really glad I did. Now I can remember what happens if I leave. Now I can remember how I can stop this. "The only thing is..." He said his smile faultering. "...You wont remember any of this. It will wipe this from you memory." I still had a full smile on my face this didn't have to happen. Once he saw the smile on my face he was confused. "Are you even listening?" "Yeah, lets go back." I walked over to him and walked past him, I ushered him out of the room and before I closed the door I whispered to my freinds. "I will make sure your all safe, no matter what." We walked to the T.A.R.D.I.S and I was feeling very hopeful. I have no clue why but I knew that it was for a reason. The Doctor unlocked the T.A.R.D.I.S and let me in once we were in he started pulling things. "Oh crap." He said, it was out of character, but it was a genuine reaction. "What?" I asked hoping that it wasn't a 'We can't get back' scenario. "Were going to be in for a bumpy ride." That for some reason sparked my hope. He put his hoof on a stick and looked at me. "Ready?" I nodded. "Then here we go, hold on to something." He told me, my intuition told me not to. So I didn't. I felt a massive bump that almost knocked me over, I was starting to go lighter and my eyesight was fading white as a heard a ping. My vision hadn't gone yet so I could see it. I pipe was disconnected and looked sharp. I knew what I had to do. I ran over to the makeshift spike and swung my hand down. "What are you-" Everything blasted white as I felt a sharp pain. I was sat on the tower, feeling depressed yet a bit good. It felt good having to end it all an option. I wasn't going to do it, but it was nice having it as a option. I began to lean back to my hands so I could look up at the night sky. As my hands hit the surface I felt a sharp pain in my right hand. I looked at it and there was blood on it. It was in an 'x' shape, but still quite deep in. Not deep enough to go all the way through, but still deep. I looked at my hand and smiled. "I forgot nothing." Author's Note About this chapter, I felt as if I needed this in and it felt logical for Cole to feel replaced after a new human came. So if you don't like this chapter PM me why. (Unless it's the depressing part or the gore) And I would like someone to teach me how to properly do gory and or sexual scenes, so if you can or know someone who can then tell me. //-------------------------------------------------------// Apology! //-------------------------------------------------------// Apology! We went back to Ponyville by my request, I told the girls that they should stay behind but they wanted to come. The ride back home was uneventful and the girls just talked, well except Rainbow Dash. She just sat there staring out into the distance, which is also what I was doing. I was thinking about what would the future bring, why did that incedent happen and how can I stop it? It was still weighing on my mind, heavily. Who did it? 'You need to stop thinking about it.' Iris said.'It was because you left when that happened, just stay and it wont happen.' 'Your right but I can't help to wonder if it's that easy.' I thought, she understood where I was coming from. I looked at the girls and saw how happy they were, well except the one sulking for reasons I don't know. Iris left the hotseat and Dexter took it. 'You okay there buddy?' He asked, it seemed as if he wasn't being a dick for a while. Though I'm not surprised because if I saw someone go through that I wouldn't have it in me to piss them off. 'You saw somethings that you shouldn't have back there. I don't think your mind will be stable for long if you keep on the subject.' His tone was kind, he was telling me nicely that if I don't stop thinking about it I'll most likely go insane. I didn't care, it was a human that did this, a human did those horrible things. How could someone do that? I don't even think the most fucked up minds on Earth won't be able to stomach that, let alone be the perpratrator. At the same time as wanting to know who did it I also didn't want to know, all I wanted was for this not to happen. While I wasn't paying attention, Dexter noticed something. 'I think Dash is upset with you.' This got me to stop thinking about that. 'Yeah , but I don't know why. That's what I need to know.' I thought it was pretty obvious that Dash was angry at me, it just wasn't obvious why. Dexter let out an 'Ooh' of realisation. After that he let out a sigh of dissapointment. 'So why can't I tell him?' I assumed that he was talking to Iris because Lust doesn't give any good information except about sex and if it was Lust then I'm glad he can't tell me. 'Iris told me you have to find out yourself.' I would have facepalmed but I was in company. 'You are me you pleb.' 'I'm technically not you, but your right.' I was about to question what he meant by that, but I decided it would be better if I asked later in the HQ where we had as much time as we wanted. 'She said it doesn't matter if you are the same it's just not her personality that will find it out.' 'Wow what a bitch...' I thought, then I realised that she could hear my thoughts, '...y attitude. So glad I met you.' I assumed that worked because if it didn't then I'd be fucked, not literally either. 'We'll be at Ponyville in exactly 1 minute 23 seconds.' Dexter told me, how the fuck do they do that I can't tell stuff like that for shit. 'So how exactly did you come to be Dexter...like how are you even...you're not like the other two. How' I thought to Dexter. I could tell he was different he was more like a full personality then one of the peices of it. 'Never mind.' I just gave up, I tried not to think much because of their ability to hear my thoughts that weren't directed at them. When we landed in Ponyville there was a thump that almost caused me to lose balance. I managed to keep myself upright and a jumped over the railing while all the the girls gave there goodbyes. I was about to walk around Ponyville for a while but I realised that I had nowhere to go. I couldn't go back to Lyra's yet but I also didn't have anything specific I wanted to do except go home and sleep. 'Go aplogise to Dash.' 'For what?' All that Dexter gave me was a silence, I grit my teeth I thought I could get the answer out of him that way but that was probably why; I thought. I began the long journey to Dash's house, I couldn't help but try to think why she was pissed, however in the end I still didn't have an answer. Then memories span through my head it went from some childhood memories to the most recent ones. My stomach was beggining to churn. None of voices tried to even help, they were going through the same thing as me so I'm not surprised. I was now nearing Dash's cloud mansion, it was amazing. It was something straight out of a fairy tale, although this whole world was a fairy tale for children. It was too innocent for me personally. "D-" I cut myself off before I called her 'Dash'. "Rainbow Dash! You up there?" I shouted up to the flouting house. Rainbow Dash stuck her head over the edge and groaned. "What are you here for?" Her tone was less then please but it still sounded like she was pushing to say it. "Sorry, for what-" I cut myself off so I didn't say 'whatever' "I did." The slight pause almost broke the sentence but it managed to still sound okay. Dash pumped her wings as she jumped, I thought she was about to fly away but she just hovered down taking a long loop around me. She still had a solemn look on her face and me being here was causing it. "Yeah you're sorry, do you even know what you should be sorry about?" My personality causes trouble even for myself. "One of two things; I offended you or the fact that I didn't click 'clear all' before I went missing?" She scowled. "And I guessing it wasn't the latter." That was all I could say, if I had made the conversation serious I probably would have cracked instantly and lost all confidence. "So you don't know? I didn't think you would be this clueless." She spoke tears adorning her eyes. She turned away and sat down. I didn't dare to see if she still was crying so I just stayed where I was. "Will you listen to what I have to say?" "Yeah, I guess I will." I sat down where I was and got ready to listen. The sun was covered with a cloud. 'Perfect timing' Then I realised in this world pegasus put clouds in the sky. 'Did she set this up. No she was with the girls all day.' I looked at her sat on her haunches, it was weird this was not something you would see everyday or anyday back where I'm from. "I like someone, that someone is different." She still was looking into the sky far away. "The ponies that I have asked say I shouldn't go for it because it might not be what they're into." She stayed silent for a moment probably thinking of what to say next. "But I can't just staright ask them the question or it might be awkward." "I think I know who you're talking about." I couldn't stop myself from saying, but that wasn't anything different. Rainbow Dash flinched. "It's not who I think it is, is it?" I asked vaguely but I knew exactly who it was, however I wanted confirmation before I helped. 'Soon I will be playing matchmaker.' I made an evil chuckle go through my head. Mwhauhahahaha it went. I was so close to lol'ing out loud. If that's possible. Rainbow Dash was now blushing and squirming about. I was now in front of her, I have no clue how I got there but I was now here. 'Do you have no shame?' Oh how I didn't right now was my moment to shine, the internet troll was coming out. 'Since when were you the voice of justace?' I was grinning like a fool, or a monster depending on which side you was on. "You know?" Dash asked her voice was now as timid as a butterfly near a human. "Who?" Her voice was small and broken, but nevertheless she still testing my detective skills. "It is..." Time for a dramitic pause, a still image and a long distance between the beggining and end of the sentence. Once I got bored of that I immeadiatly blurted it out. "It's Fluttershy isn't it?" I turned around away from her, I had it right but I needed a moment to celebrate internally without her knowing. "Just ask her out. She seems kind enough to forgive you if you are not right. If you were just say you got drunk." I was probably being immorally wrong right now by telling her to act as though she were drunk but I couldn't care less. When I turned around Rainbow Dash wasn't in the spot she was just in, she had moved. I looked around but she was probably back in the cloud. When I looked up all I saw was a liquified rainbow falling down I was just about to say 'fuck' but didn't have enough time to do it before I was now the only rainbow coloured human. The walk home was long and the talk with Lyra was short, it was time to head back to the guys in the hq for a nice rest. Author's Note Okay so depending on the reaction I get from you it might be the last chapter. I'm not saying you have to like this FILLER chapter but if you like the story so far Pm me, I need to know if I should continue. If I get enough people messaging me by the next time I will continue with this but the chapters wont be too often because I've got another write going on (not on here) The posting will be about once every week, so if you want this to continue you can have it continued. If you want another writer to continue it just ask and I'll think about it. //-------------------------------------------------------// A Reasonably NORMAL Life: I //-------------------------------------------------------// Author's Note I'm splitting this Chapter into multiple parts because I've got a lot of writing to do if it was in one part. This is so it doesn't take you a month to get a new chapter. Also if you have any idea for parts like this pm me so noone else knows, I would like to add peoples parts in to make it more entertaining then suddenly skipping a week. So if you have an idea just pm me it and I'll write it in a soon as I can if I like it. A Reasonably NORMAL Life: I When I woke up the sun was already blazing through the curtains that I had hung up. "Jeez, you need to calm the fuck down with your brightness." I said to no-one in paticular. I kicked the quilt off of me and looked around. I had been bunking on a couch for the past couple of days so my back was aching from it. No-one was downstairs and the house was clean. I looked outside and everybody was already out. "What to do today?" I sighed to myself, I was fully expecting one of my schizophrenic friends to answer but nothing. "You guys are boring, you didn't even let me go in there last night." I complained; my speciality. "Is this because the apoligy went bust?" Now I was getting desperate. 'Yes if you have to ask it is. We're not meant to talk to you until she forgives you.' Dexter was the one who replied. Thank you for still loving me Dexter. 'The bitch made that rule, didn't she?' I asked fully aware of the answer already. 'Yeah, but I wouldn't say that if I were you.' Dexter warned. If there was such a thing as overconfidence I would be that thing. 'Pl-eeese! I say what I want and I do what I want when I want.' I was the abomination of sloth and greed at the same time. 'No really. There something you should-' During this I sniffed my clothes and almost spilled my guts. "Oh god, it smells like death in here." I was now running to the bathroom to hopefully clense myself with some holy water. 'Lust you deal with him for a while.' Dexter switched out, how handy is that? I started the strip down for the longest shower of my life, I would savour this and it would help me rid myself of bodily fluids I didn't want. 'Are you going to do the doo in the shower?' Lust stupidly asked, I swear to the god of the blondes. "The doo?" I asked as I was pulling my right sock off. The persistant little bastard wouldn't let go though. 'The doo is the thing you do on your own or with someone you like.' I was hopping around to pull a sock off when she asked this and if I wasn't I would have threw myself out of the window then. "Just shut up!" I wasn't getting into this conversation right now. Now was the time for my precious bathing ceremony. Lust seemed to have listened to me, she was being quiet. I finally got my socks off and I took the other one without struggle. "There goes all the look for my day." I knew that was more ominous than it should of been but I couldn't care less. I was about to baptise myself in this water. I took off my underwear and hopped into the shower. About an hour later I dragged my pruned body self out of the shower, I needed to do something even the best shower I've ever had drilled bordem into my skill. I dried myself off and put a normal set of clothes on and got ready to go out. I walked towards the door before I had remembered that I had left the quilt on the couch. Once I had put the quilt away I began my stroll around town. I would meet the locals and make new friends in this world. There wasn't many people I could trust though because I don't get the mind of a talking horse, phycology doesn't teach you quite that much. If I was correct then I had about 15 gold bits left in my pouch, that I think would come to about £1/ $2 per bit, but this place seems better at currency than my world so it could be able to get more then expected. 'Uh, why the fuck does money have to be so complicated, I mean it's complicated freaking everywhere.' I thought quite agressively. I didn't seem to be getting any shit off the civilians, in fact they were smiling as they went past. It did make me feel better I guess, it didn't feel as if they was treating me any weirder then someone that just moved into town when I was infact a monster that had been thrown into a river outside of town and did some shit to get here. My useless rambling got me nowhere, well it did get me over to the library but it got me nowhere towards the mindset I could've had. "Dex, you there?" I whispered as if to a hidden microphone. He seemed to ignore the original call out. I had to call out three more times before I got an answer. 'We're not meant to be talking to you! What do you want?' I guessed I was looking like a weirdow right now just standing there with my hand over my left ear like a spy, so I decided to move a little bit slowing my pace so I could ask. 'What book types do you think they will have in here? I mean the ones I will be interested in.' I thought now approaching the open door. There was a couple of ponies inside there that were looking for books, if I needed any help I would ask them. 'I dunno why?' 'If you find any good ones just shout out.' I thought to him now stepping through the door, I was the shadiest yet the most childlike person there. There was 6 ponies in the library right now. 3 of them looked smaller and younger then the others. One was a unicorn with white fur and two different colours in her mane. One was a pegasus with chicken wings orange fur and a purple mane. And the last was a butter coloured pony with red hair. They other 3 were probably just redshirts. I decided I would look for a book about Phycology. 'So 'p' I should start of that row.' If it would've been that easy I would be a better man. I looked around for the P row but was unable to locate it, I still had approxamately no attention from the silent room I was in. The rows were catagorised in themes then they were colour coded. I got the themes bit, but colour coded. man what the hell. It made it harder to find anything, it should be catergorised differently. However I wasn't here to complain about the bad standards of the library, I was here to look up some stuff. I was mainly going to look up phycology and the history here, but I had a few things I wanted to find out about the Elements of Chaos; I wanted to know what they did. I was about to go over to a pony that was next to me. I would ask where the Phycology section was, but I was interupted. "Wow, look at that!" The voice sounded completely astounded by something. I almost had the nerve to say 'Social Comment.' But didn't. I had an idea of what was happening and hoping it wouldn't. A female redneck voice was the next to comment. "D'yall think it's as tall as Princess Celestia?" Now that seeled it. It was what I thought, I need to get out of here before any more smartass remarks come my way. "Excuse me. Excuse me." They were talking to me, I had no choice but to either be rude or turn around. I had a bad feeling either way but I decided I would get a small chat over with. I turned to the kids that were stood behind me. It was the 3 one that stuck out the most. I didn't bother to make myself a reasonable size infront of them. The orange pegasus seemed a bit intimidated by what I looked like, but it was not to be any other way. I understood that it would be like that always, I just hope they don't meet the fucking cowboy from my Elements. "Howdy..." The redneck one was starting to inspect me for signs of gender but she couldn't find any like the ones she noticed. She gave up and just carried on. "I'm Applebloom." She greeted happily. The unicorn decided to chirp in aswell. "I'm Sweetie Belle." She seemed more energetic then the other two. "Come on let's just go." The pegasus whispered to the others, she was obviously distressed. AppleBloom used a leg to bump the pegasus' ribs. "I'm Scootaloo." With their introduction done I could go back to finding my books. Or so I thought. "What's your name?" Sweetie Belle chirped. Scootaloo looked as if she was itching to get out of here, I wouldn't blame her if she just left. "It's Cole." No matter how simple I could get that sentence I couldn't get it vague enough. I should try to get out of this conversation, their parents wouldn't want me to be talking to them. I also get the feeling that noone wanted to deal with them since all the redshirts had left the library as fast as they could already. "Coal? What do you do with coal?" Sweetie Belle replied. The comment bewildered me. 'Are we even talking about the same thing?' She must have been talking about coal as in the fuel type. "No it's different from that. You see mine is spelled differently." I said delving too deep into a conversation then I would've liked. "C'mon we gotta go. I wanna go see Dash practice." Scootaloo was complaining again. "Alright, alright calm down we're going." Sweetie Belle said now walking away. "We'll see ya again ah' guess." AppleBloom said before leaving. I watched them go, they seemed to be quite different for the other ponies. They liked to get involved a lot. That would be annoying if they gathered too much of an interest for humans. "It's hard to guess they only met the other day." A voice said from next to me that obviously didn't make me turn my boxers brown. "When did you get there?" My question went unanswered, Twilight just stared at the ponies in the distance. "They only met at the festival the other day." She carried on ignoring the questions thrown at her. Oh for fuck sake answer the bleeding question. I sighed and walked around for a bit, I needed some books to see what I can learn about this place. I found the biology section and looked around. I opened some of the books as I went by. The first book I opened was called: 1000 facts about your body! I flipped onto the first page it had a plain looking pony with a brown mane and brown fur. I looked at the title: Earth Pony Oh the names were cliche as hell. I started to read the first paragraph. Although Earth Ponies don't have wings or a horn they still contain magic. This magic speeds up and strengthens the body. Earth ponies tend to be stronger swimmers and can carry a lot more mass than unicorns and pegasi. Okay so Earth Ponies are tanks. I didn't bother to read the other pages, I put the book back and left it for later if I felt like it. I looked at the next book. A mare in heat. NEXT! I didn't even bother touching that book,I just skipped onto the next one. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a book called 50 shades of neigh. And then a sequel 50 shades of hay. And then a spin off that's about the jockey that rides them. I couldn't help but chuckle. I know I'm fucked up but I don't care. I went back to looking for a book that would tell me something about this world. But no half of these books were about fucking spells and shit. I don't care, I don't have a fucking affinity for magic. I went to the end of the book case before I realised that I had someone staring at me. Twilight was sat on her haunches staring, it was creepy as hell. The smile on her face was as if she was trying to read my mind. I could tell she was trying to inspect how I work, physically and mentally. "Uh Twilight you okay?" I asked trying to stop her from burning holes into my body. She then realised she had been staring at me and she looked back at the book she had been reading. "Yes am I, I am perfectly fine." And that's what someone says when they are not fine, I just hope she doesn't start trying to disect me to know how humans work. I went back to looking for the book on the last metre of book case. "I have a question." Twilight stated. Oh here it is. "Do you kind lay eggs?" Oh this is going to get all kinds of awkward. "My kind are called human and they're mamals." I replied vaguely. Please know what a mamal was so I don't have to explain what happens that would make me just die form embarrassment. "Oh right, so the female and the male have to-" Twilight cut herself off before saying anything else. I didn't look back to see what her reaction was but I could guess. "I am failing to see how this works, how would a male and female do that?" She seemed to be asking herself but at the same time out loud so I could answer if I wanted. I didn't under stand what she meant, if her kind do the same thing it would be easy to peice together. "What are you failing to understand?" My curiosity was getting the better of me. "I am failing to see how, I mean you have no-" I got exactly where she was coming from. "We wear these clothes for warmth purposes, our bits are in the outside and since we don't have fur we wear these." I gestured to my clothes. Twilight seemed to be getting into the conversation too much. "You mean it doesn't retract?" The shining in her eyes was now getting uncomfortable. "No it doesn't." I answered. I pledge to myself I will only go as far as to answer questions. Twilight ran off for a minute and grabbed something with a loud racket. Is she bringing an elephant from the back. When she came back she was giddy with anticipation. She pulled out a scroll and picked up a quill with all I could call the demons gift, telekensis. She began to write on the scroll, I decided it would be a good time to give her some space so I went back to looking for books. When I turned around I realised that I had finished the book case. I looked around and found that there was another room with more books in it. I read the sign on the door. 'Adults only.' I would never be going into there, like ever. "Spike!" Twilight shouted at the top of her lungs. If I had not walked back to the book case my ears probably would have been destoryed from when I was standing near to her. My ears were ringing when I heard little foot steps coming down the steps. I turned around and saw something I always wanted to see. "It's Barney!" I shouted with joy but my comment way ignored. The little purple dinosuar ran to the bottom of the steps. "What is it Twilight?" The dinosaur replied in a goofy preteen voice. He was purple and green all over as if he just rolled down the steps or spent a night as Rihanna. Twilight rolled up the scroll and passed it over to Spike. " I need you to send this to Princess Celestia." She was hopping about like a little girl on Christmas day. Spike grabbed the scroll and full on just burnt it. 'What the hell she said send it not set it on fire.' I thought as it burnt, it would have been funny to see him to run to the nearest post office. I started to make up a song in my head. 'I love you, you love me. Let's go set fires like Barney. With lot's of smoke and the 5-0. Arsonistic Dinosaur.' Just as I finished my little song Spike burped and a scroll popped out. 'The actual fuck?' I realised I was still surprised by this world. Twilight practically ripped open the scroll and began to read it. "Dear my faithful student Twilight." It just got boring. "I have read the information you put into the letter you sent me and I would like to expand on it." Oh fuck no you wont. "I am going to gather the best scientists I can, so will you tell the boy to come up at the earliest convienience?" She seemed to skip out the ending but I was already getting the fuck out of there. I walked out of the library before anyone noticed me going. 'They are not doing tests on me. I knew it, this is the America of this world.' I thought to myself as I started walking away I wouldn't be sent to no medical lab. I slightly annoyed myself with all the possiblilties as I went away from the library. I only went in there for a damn book and went out with nothing but more to worry about. 'I'm gonna get grey hairs soon.' I though to myself. Before I knew it I found myself back in town. I had no clue what to do next I looked around and decided that I would relax a bit. I only brought out a fraction of the money I had but I would still be able to get something. I looked around and saw a filly walking along with a staff puppy and the fillies parents walking behind it. At that moment I knew exactly what I was going to do next. I ran to where I was staying and opened the door, there was still noone inside. I went over to the place I put my stuff which was beside the couch. I grabbed my bag and pulled out the rest of the bits and shoved them into my pocket. I knew what I was gonna do. As I ran back outside I shut the door, a massive smile was on my face I walked into the middle of the town and looked around. There wasn't one pet shop around. I walked up to a family with a dog as nicely as I could. "Hello, do you know where I can get an pet from?" I asked politely. The man froze for a second before his dog approached me, it was a Jack Russell. I held out my hand and crouched down. I began to stroak the dog which it seemed to enjoy. The colt calmed down and smiled. "Oh I got mine from a friend but he said there is a place on the out skirts of town where you can get some animals." He replied. I stood up and smiled back. "Thank you sir." I was about to walk away but then I realised that I hadn't asked for directions. When I turned around he was still looking at me. He pointed me to place and I was off. I was going to get a dog, probably. //-------------------------------------------------------// A Reasonably NORMAL Life: II //-------------------------------------------------------// A Reasonably NORMAL Life: II I began to head towards the edge of town, the only thoughts that went through my head was about which dog I'd get. I mean I want a Husky or a German Shepard, but things like in Akita or Corgies. A Corgy being just a smaller version of the Akita, I wouldn't do any hunting with a Corgy, but maybe the rest. I also needed a dog because the only friends I have here have been residing in my head, I would also love to have something that actually was not going to get me into trouble. Although I could convince everyone that having voices in my head was normal for my world. I strolled around my hands in my pockets, minding my own buisness. I could do almost anything I wanted here, I could travel the world, well as long as I prevented that. But to prevent something that I have only the ending I need to fill the rest in. I need to find out who did it. My thoughts were interrupted when I was further then I expected. "Excuse me, it's dangerous in there. Don't go in." A small feminine voice spoke quietly. Even though it wasn't that commanding my body refused to move. It was responding perfectly to the commands. I looked forward and realised that I was about to walk into the forest that I came out of when I first got here. I turned slowly towards the voice. I now knew who it was and I didn't want to startle her. "Hi, Fluttershy. What are you doing here?" I asked awkwardly, I was about to walk into the forest and probably got myself killed before I knew it. Fluttershy began to slightly hide behind her mane, she looked up a tiny bit. "I'm helping some of the animals." Fluttershy's smooth voice made anyone feel relaxed. I almost didn't hear what she said but I just managed. "Ah, so you like animals? I like them too." I said kindly. I don't know why but I was completely acting out of my nature, but I couldn't stop myself. She seemed to raise her head when I said that. "Really? What is your favourite animal?" She asked almost out of her personailty. "My favourite type of animals are dog, from where I am we call them man's best friend because of all they do for us." I explained, at least we were on the same page. I had a feeling me and her could get along, we both loved animals so it would be simple getting along. "Man's best friend?" She asked with her head slightly tiltled. I guess it would take some time to get used to me talking about my world. "We call them man's best friend because they've practically been there since we humans were beggining. They would help us with surviving and help us and we would give them warmth and food." I explained simply as I could. For me and for her. I'm guessing she was about to ask a question when something jumped out of the bush nearby scaring her shitless. I was back in my mindset. I tried to grab my knife but I remembered I left it at home. I looked around to see Fluttershy was practically out, I also so a manticore cub heading towards her. I couldn't let it get to her. I ran towards it and grabbed it, it swiped it's scorpian tail at me. I only just managed to dodge it with only a scratch. Once I grabbed it by the scruff of it neck like a parent would it finally averted it's eyes to me. It looked at me as if it was sad, I could tell that something happened to upset it. I hadn't noticed this until the adrenaline wore off but I was completely out of breath. Not of fear but I was slightly malnurished. I hadn't had any meat since I got here, in fact I've not had anything that I had in my diet before since I got here. Just a ton of apples and some lettuce. Fluttershy woke up from her little slumber of fear and saw me like this. "Don't hurt it." She shouted practically running at me. "Hurt it?" I inspected the cub and didn't see anything wrong. Just as Fluttershy got to me I realised what she meant. "I'm not hurting it, this is how it's mother would carry it. If anything it calms them down." Fluttershy came close to inspect it, the cub was purring a little bit. It seemed to be looking at me with eyes of a puppy begging for food, I knew what it wanted but I had naught me that could help it. The cub started to paw at me lightly it claws were no longer bared. It was tapping my face with small paws. Fluttershy giggled lightly. "I think she likes you." She said kindly. I looked back at it, how could she tell it was female? I looked at it, it didn't seem to have the lions mane instead it looked more like a lioness. I put the cub back on the floor and pushed it towards the bush. It didn't matter if she liked me, she had a mother that she needed to go back to. The cub stopped and looked back, it let out a small whine. It wasn't a whine of pain it was fear and sadness, something happened. "Fluttershy wait here with the cub." My voice was stern enough to make Fluttershy realise this was serious. She grabbed the cub lightly and started to stroke it. I walked into the forest of death and looked around. From where I was there was only trees all around. I saw the bushes were slightly parted from where the cub had ran through. I followed the tracks until there was no more. I didn't have a clue which direction to walk in, if I walked the wrong way I could easily get lost. As I was about to give up and walk back a foul stench surrounded the area, I also could tell which direction it was coming from. I walked towards it holding my hand over my nose to try to block it out. The foul odor was coming from an open area, except the area looked as if it was forced open, the mud was all over the place and the trees were almost destoryed. In the middle was two figures, one was a human shaped figure. The person looked about the same size as me in build but if I had to say they let off a aura of blood lust. The other figure was across from me about the hole, it seemed to be a crooked shadow, none of the body parts seemed straight and all the bones looked as if they were twisted into shape. Whatever it was I knew it wasn't human. It was releasing something I only felt when the Princess grabbed me with telekenisis. It was horrifying, it felt evil. When the two figures finally saw me, they directed their bloodlust at me, however the only attack they launched was crystals flying at me, they all ended up missing but made a good distraction. I shielded my face and lept back a bit. I ran back as soon as I could all I saw was the two fleeing. As the cloaked figure fleed his sleeve was blown up by the wind, showing his left hand. It was fully crystal, a red one. The pressure I felt in my chest was raising by the second, until they got out of my sight it did this. Once they got it completely dissapeared. I took a deep breath and calmed my nerves. That was dangerous. I inspected the land around me and something managed to catch my eyes. It was the manticore, a female adult that had been murdered. It was deep in the hole that they made, it had multiple crystals sticking out of it's legs and body. I ran over to it and checked it's breathing, it was weak. I also checked it's heatbeat, which was slowing. The manticore didn't bother attacking me, it seemed to know it's fate. The heatbeat slowly grinded to a stop and the manticore closed it's eyes. it had died. I pulled one of the crystals out of the ground nearby and inspected it. A burning feeling came from my chest and the shirt I had on was now light up. I brought the crystal close to my chest and touched my element with it. As I did the crystal was absorbed and I saw a flash of the manticore being murdered. First the person who did it raised up the crystal hand and it light up, he then raised the other hand and shot at the manticore multiple times. After a couple of shots the person looked up at a figure that was just a silhouette. "Very good." The figure spoke it had a male human voice but wasn't human at all. A couple of seconds after that the person heard a bush rattling and the flashback stopped. "The fuck?" I asked. I puched the ground nearby. "What the fuck, that guy was an Element of Chaos! What is he doing here?" Nothing was going to get me an answer. What I really wanted to know was who was the other figure and how were they using magic, they are humans. That's what brought me back to the flashback. I remebered he raised his crystal hand and it light up. It was like an activation, all I had to do was activate the Element on my own and I could do it. But the question was how? I shook my head, it would take time to learn how to so I had to try before the person came back if he would. I stood up I needed to get back to Fluttershy and the cub. The cub now had no parents so I decided I would take care of it. I also decided I was going to learn these techniques so I could fight against the person who did that easier. "What the hell! Why is he here? Out of all people." The person in the cloak said to the figure and they ran away. They were leaping on tree branches to get away. "I thought you said there wasn't anyone that would be important to me here!" He said accusingly. "I cannot control that, the Element of Chaos pick the best choice for them. He must have been the best choice for that Element." The figure defended himself. "It doesn't matter anyway, you will either have to kill him or recruit him or my plan wont work." The figure had a good point in his own mind. The cloacked person turned around with a round house kick, he hit the figure away with immense power. "Don't you dare even make killing him a choice!" He growled. The figure struggled to get up he was in the sunlight. He seemed to be a mix and match of a lot of animals. Like the Frankenstein of animals. "Well if he is on the Elements of Harmony's side then he will be a problem. His Element is too powerful to let him face us." "DISCORD! He will come to our side, even if I have to force him." The cloacked person was now gritting his teeth. "I know we will be together forver." Author's Note Ok so this chapter doesn't resemble the chapter name even a bit, but I needed to put this chapter in to make this story get anywhere soon. But I still hope you enjoyed this chapter. //-------------------------------------------------------// A Reasonably NORMAL Life: III //-------------------------------------------------------// A Reasonably NORMAL Life: III After the thing that happened in the forest I got Fluttershy and the cub out of there without telling them anything. I couldn't let them know what was in there, but I also couldn't let anyone else find it. So once I got out of there I told Fluttershy to take the cub home while I did something. The something I was doing was going back to the library and seeing what this words version of gasoline was. I walked into the library and looked around, neither barney nor Twilight was there, at least where I was and I wasn't willing to shout upstairs to see who was in. I decided I would look for the book instead of bothering anyone. Although I didn't want to waste time I also didn't want anyone knowing what had happened or that might raise questions about how it happened. Once I found the book I needed I flipped through it. There was nothing on how to aquire it, how to make it or even where it comes from. 'Fucking book, you peice of shit. Why can't you tell me where I can get some?' My fustration was getting the better of me for sure, I didn't even hear somebody approaching me I was that annoyed. "What'ya looking at?" The redneck accent was so familliar to the one before but was much deeper, I flipped around to see Apple Jack looking at me with a grin on her face. "Didn't expect you to be here." She stated and began staring at the book. "And I didn't expect you to be able to read." She was blurting out anything that came to mind. 'Oh come on, I look like a bald ape but it isn't that bad isn't it.' I didn't bother saying it out loud because I frankly couldn't be arsed explaining the different 2% between us. "Yeah I can read." She gave a deadpan look and I'm guessing it was because I had a book in my hand so it ws obvious I could read. "But I'm having a problem finding a comparrison to fuel in my world. This tells me just what crude oil is, but it's not telling me how to get it." Apple Jack seemed to listen all the way through my talking and she seemed quite interested in what I was saying, maybe because I was talking about a whole different world here. "Ah see, you want fuel. However, fuel in our country is deemed unsafe so the public is not aloud to use it." She spoke in words I didn't expect to come out of her mouth; they sounded quite smart towards what I expected her to use. "Really, in my world it's weird for someone not to use it." I replied without much thought to it and then I realised that my worlds rules didn't apply here. Like how I haven't had bacon since I got here is because not many races here are carnivore and the ones that are probably aren't sentient. "So what you need is fuel, right?" She seemed to be offering a way for me to find it, that was a good deal as long as she didn't want to know what I needed it for. "Yeah, that is my current goal." I said cautiously, I don't think she would betray me but she doesn't seem like she would be easy to win over. "So anything that burns?" She asked. I nodded my head so she would get to the point. "Well, how 'bout I let you have some of the ethanol I put in ma moonshine." Oh god redneck alert. I ignored the fact that she was stereotypically redneck and I began to think. 'That's a good deal, just what does she want for it?' I looked at her and tried to scan for signs of her being manipulative, but I found none. "What do you want for it then?" My question was met with AppleJack putting a stern face on. "I wan't you to promise you wont hurt anybody that doesn't deserve it." Her typical southern accent almost disappeared when she said that. "Why would I do that?" Now it was getting offensive, I understand not trusting me but straight up bribing me to stop me is just insulting. "Everpony can see ya fangs everytime you smile." So what I should stop smiling. "I can tell ya need to eat meat, but don't hurt anything that can think." "Humans don't do that anyway; it's taboo." I told her it made her calm down a bit. She seemed less tense that she was before and she also put on a big grin. "So what do you need fire for?" She asked the one question I didn't wan't somebody to ask. I tried to think of something and it was taking time, this would've made it a lot more suspicious to anybody. 'Say a bonfire, you can't lie so don't tell a lie. It wouldn't be classed as a lie.' Dexter helped, me it had been a couple of hours since he talked to me. "It's for a bonfire, it also may help me find out somethings about getting home." I added the getting home bit. It was a bit of a lie but she bought it. "Okay then, how 'bout ya come along to the farm later and I'll have some ready." I was lucky to get this offer, in fact without it someone might stumble upon the body. If they see the crystals they may try to find out the cause and it may go to the Princesses. That create work for them and they'll probably piss me off about it. The farm? "Where's the farm?" I asked, i had seen no farm and if I had I didn't remember it. "Just ask the featherbrain." She was speaking in fucking riddles today. Her thick accent didn't help either. Having a conversation with her is like the process for any COD: Zombies easter egg. Once she realised I didn't understand that featherbrain was someone I knew instead of a crappy name for a drug dealer in this world, she clearly told me who. "Rainbow Dash, ya big dummy." "Oh, okay then I'll ask her." I managed to get that in before she paractically disappeared and only giving the 'I got summet to do now' excuse. I sighed and begun making my way out when I met the little dinosuar from before, he was walking in on his own grubling something that I couldn't quite hear. "Hey Barney." "My name is NOT Barney, it's Spike." He stopped me just to correct me, wow what a dick. I'm still gonna call him Barney though. "Twilight is looking for you, she is near the Carousel Boutique." He told me if he wanted me to go. The people here were terrible at giving directions. Like where is the Kerosene whatchamean. I didn't understand a word he spit out, it was like a girl talking about fashion and you just want to say 'Are you trying to tell me my shoes are bad or what?' I didn't even bother asking I just walked out of the door and pretended I was walking there, I was just hoping I didn't actually run into anyone. For the next hour I spent avoiding somebody I didn't want to see, only to avoid becoming a pin cushion. It also seemed to be getting towards sunset, the day was going pretty quick. 'Should I go now? Or is it too early?' I tried to ask the voices, but no reply. I sighed and decided to myself that I would now go, if I was too early it was too bad I was getting some fuel. I took a glance around, there was a ton of buildings in my way and I could not see a field anywhere. There were still a couple of ponies out on the street I figured I would ask one of them where I could find the farm. There was a brown redshirt that was across the road from me, he seemed to just be completely dazed, which made me think if horses have junkies like humans do. I brushed it off and started to approach him, I was hoping that he had some brains to tell me where the farm is. "Escuse me." I called out politely first. The earth pony shot around and looked at me, now that he was facing me I could tell it was a guy just from the sheer size of his body. "Yep?" He asked realising I wanted to talk to him not walk past him and into the stand he was facing at. "Do you know where the farm is, you know the one that Applejack is at?" I asked giving some more detail then needed, but it seemed to catch his attention. The earth pony lowered his head and readied himself to charge like a bull. "What'dya want with ma sister?" His tone was now hostile and completely redneck-ified. 'Shit, why is everyone so hostile.' I stuck my hands up, I didn't want a ton of dense meat flying my way. "Woah, calm down. You wouldn't hit a child would ya?" I asked. As much as it embarrased me to not call myself a teen it was still better then having this sentient meatball flattening me. "Anyway I'm a friend of your sisters." I felt awkward leaving the word with an 's' on the end so I continued by saying. "Both of them." "Yer not lying are ya?" He said only raisng his head a little bit. "Cause if you are..." "I know, you could probably crush me with one of your legs. This situation is scary to be in in the first place." I was now managing to calm the lump of raging meat down. The earth pony sighed a breath of relief and raised his head. "I'm sorry about that, my name is BigMac." Just him saying that name was making me grow hungry. "I get it, you're trying to protect your family. And my name is Cole." I said putting out a hand and then realising that even though he is tall there is still a big enough size difference to make it awkward. "So will you point me towards the direction of your farm? I have something I need to get off your sister." "Ah was just about to go back, I'll show you the way." He began to walk through the town and I followed because I needed to get the fuel before someone goes into the forest and see the corpse. After a while of walking BigMac asked me a question that he seemed to be holding in. "So are you realy a child?" "Well, in my world I class as a teenager, which is the ages from 13-19. I'm 15 so I still will be a teen for a couple of years." "Really? You're still big for a child." I couldn't tell whether he was complimenting me or getting small man syndrome, but from someone thats practically made of muscle like him it was a good compliment. Even if it wasn't meant to be. "Well in my world we grow more up then we do out. So we may not be as strong but we have still got opposible thumbs." I said doing a thumbs up gesture out in front of me. 'I have a feeling I'll be saying certain things alot.'
