Terrarian

Cortez flew across the morning sky, still thinking about why someone would go about defenseless like that. No of the solutions Cortez had could come up with could solve the mystery of walking about unarmed. Until he thought of one thing; what if this land was generally peaceful enough that that was unnecessary? No, that was impossible; no place could be like that. He continued to fly, still wondering.

Cortez entered his house and popped open a rather large bottle of ale, consuming it within a few minutes. Soon, Gunpowder Garry walked into the room.

"Hey there me hearty, mind if I join ye?" he asked.

"No not at all, have some ale."

"What's the occasion?"

"I explored the town and found some pony being attacked another, she did nothing to defend herself though, so I killed all the attackers. I'm planning to go check it out again later."

"Hmm, strange. Who wouldn't be prepared to defend themselves? Sounds...stupid, to walk around unarmed," Gunpowder Garry  said, stroking his beard.

"I know, it's so strange. Of course, it's possible that they have defensive powers or something that I don't know of," Cortez wondered.

"Well, it seems ta me that perhaps they need some sort of 'guardian angel'," Gunpowder Garry said, smirking.

"Perhaps. I'll go find out if there's anything else that needs to be ended," Cortez replied.

"Yea, ye—" Cortez sped out of the room. "...do that." The pirate soon proceeded to swipe another bottle of ale from the shelf, looking around shiftily.

Cortez flew above the city, looking for anything that could interest him. He dropped down to the ground and began speeding through the streets, being careful not to hit anything. Meanwhile, Twilight was using a telescope to try and get a better glimpse of the blue blur that had been reported. So many reports had been filed to the mayor, but she had decided to let Twilight figure it out. She had been looking for hours, but had little success. Just when Twilight was about to give up, she noticed a translucent blue streak somewhere on the other side of town. She quickly ran down her stairs, out the front door, and raced as fast as she possibly could to the blur's location. Cortez was many times faster, though, and had arrived back near Golden Oaks in that time. The two collided, leaving Twilight in the ground with a bad headache, and Cortez flipped over several times, although he recovered quickly and continued his trek across the town.

After a few minutes, he saw three ponies standing atop one of the larger buildings in the town.

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS BASE JUMPERS, YAY!!!" he could hear from the ground as the trio jumped. The three fillies promptly noticed that they had forgotten to use any means of landing safely.

"HEEEEEELELELLLLLLPPPPPPPP!" Cortez heard their cry, and answered.

In one swift movement he rocketed toward the building, crashing through the doors, causing them to fly across the lobby. Cortez then ran up the stairs in a flash of blue. Less than a second later, he had arrived at a window on the mezzanine, and he jumped through the window like it was nothing, destroying it. He just managed to catch the trio by crashing into them, catching the falling fillies and landing on the (now very broken road) without the use of his hoverboard. Several bystanders looked at him, but only had a few seconds to do so before he sped off back to his house.

"Ugh, this thing is impossible to get a glimpse of!"

"I'm sure that you'll find it someti— burrrrrrp." A letter protruded from the fire that had escaped Spike's mouth.

"It's a letter from Mayor Mare. It says, "Dear Twilight; Reports have now come in of the blue streak saving three fillies. It soon disappeared though, and we have not seen it since. The last we saw of it was right outside my office window. -Mayor Mary Mare  P.S, Some of the townsfolk are getting uneasy about this, please prove it's not a threat or take care of it soon. Good luck. -Mary... heh, I'm sure it's no match for something like, I don't know, the Elements of Harmony?" Spike said, rolling his eyes as he finished reading the scroll aloud.

"Spike, we don't even know it's dangerous! However, it saved three fillies—and I bet I know whom—so it can't be all bad," Twilight replied.

"Yeah right! It's probably one of those aliens who what to gain our trust, then capture and experiment on us, and turn us into zombie ponies!" Spike said worriedly.

"Spike, what comic books have you been reading?" Twilight asked skeptically.

"Oh, nothing...just 'Zombie aliens from Planet X', that's all." Spike shrugged. He held out his comic book for her.

Twilight picked it up and flipped through it. "Spike, this is nothing a dragon your age should be reading!" Twilight scolded, but was interrupted when Spike belched out yet another letter. "It's from the princess, we need to go right away!"

After flying back, Cortez found Levi outside his house looking at the garden. The guide jumped when he saw Cortez, but before he could greet him, Cortez began to speak; "I never thought I would save a unicorn from a monster infected by Corruption, or three multiracial fillies from falling to their death!" he ranted.

"Well, I take it you did, but it will be nightfall soon, and who knows what dangers there are here you haven't encountered." Levi offered sagely.

"True, and I'm tired. Goodnight, Levi. Don't drink all my ale while I sleep." Cortez walked off to his bedroom. He was asleep before his head hit the pillow.

Cortez dreamed of a store he had seen being robbed, and he flew in from the roof and rained all Hell upon them, slaughtering the crooks. But, the reaction from the ones he had saved was not what he expected. They began running and screaming, and their Royal Guard came in to defend. They were no match for top-tier Terrarian weaponry, however, and were taken down with ease. Then, suddenly, the moon rose, dyed a crimson hue. Hordes of zombies overpowered their guard, ripping apart anypony that got in their path. Demon eyes began terrorizing the town, turning it into a realm of chaos. Quickly, the sun took the place of the crimson moon, the zombies soon rendered lifeless and disappearing due to the daylight. The sky was filled with cotton candy, the clouds of sugar raining thick, beady drops of chocolate milk rather than rainwater. All chaos imaginable—and more—was what lie before him, his only wish being for this nightmare to end.

When his wish was granted, Cortez awoke...and to his horror, part of his dream was reality!
