Terrarian

Cortez woke up to the sound of beeping he then heard a distant voice,"I think he's waking up!" When he could see he noticed it was the Orange pony leaning over him, along with all five others. A few seconds later he truly realized what was going on.

He sat upright fast enough to make them all jump back, he reached for his Venus magnum,"who are you, where am I?"

"Your in the Ponyville hospital, we couldn't do much for you with that armour you've got there, half the time you disappeared. You died twice." The nurse standing in the corner told him.

"Then how am I alive now?"

"I couldn't run much tests with that armour you've got on, but every time you died you came back, it was like something wouldn't let you die."

The memories came flooding back. The yeti, the tanks, the frost moon, the rockets,"How long was I out?" He asked.

"About two weeks, that snowman moon must have brought winter early."

"Two weeks! I have to go, gunpowder Garry probably drank all my ale while I was gone!" Cortez pushed them all aside and stumbled out the door.

"Wait!" All the ponies called behind him, but he ignored them, his ale was on the line! As he pushed open the door of the hospital, he saw the results of the frost moon. Many houses and shops were broken of destroyed, but he ignored them and began to brake into a run, streaks of lighting shooting out behind him.

He ran for a few minutes, and crashed into a tree. The tree shatters as if it was a pile of compressed dirt. Cortez continued to run until he found his house. As he slowed down he noticed that his armour was damaged. He went to the goblins forge,"Hey, can you fix my armour, the frost moon last night damaged it some."

"Yes alright I will, have a nice day."

"You to." Cortez then went outside to find himself shivering. He decided to go get some other armour, and when he arrived at his armoury, he pulled some Titan armour off a mannequin. He then went to find Levi.

"When he did find him he told him,"Looks like you may have been wrong about it being mid summer, or the frost moon brought winter early."

"Yes, last night I noticed the house's defences were put to the test, had to have the goblin fix several of the Flame traps, overheated." He paused for a moment,"Gunpowder Garry's cannon got some good use though."

"The bunny cannon?"

"Both, and where were you for the past two weeks?"

"I woke up today to find the six ponies who saved the chaos lord's life, standing over me."

"Two weeks, what happened?"

Cortez thought for a moment,"I'm not sure. I remember 4 Santa-NK1s surrounding me, then the ponies fought one, a bear killed one, and I think got hit with a rocket strike."

"Sounds pretty bad, the goblin fixing your armour?" The guide asked.

"He is, and I guess I should get back to those ponies, thank them I guess." Cortez began running back to Ponyville, but not before checking his ale was still there.

Twilight and the other ventured into the everfree, cautiously as they knew the dangers that lurked. A bat swooped and Fluttershy cringed. Rainbow dash spoke,"Guys, I'm not sure we should be going in here."

"We have to find him, he can't have gone far." Twilight did not know how wrong she was. They continued walking,"Uggh this is taking to long!" Twilight the teleported them deeper into the Forrest.

"Twilight, please do warn us before doing that!" Rarity lectured, but twilight ignored her. They we're standing before a fenced in area, and inside the fence was a mansion the size of canterlot castle!

"It as big as canterlot castle!" Twilight was amazed, but then saw Cortez talking to a man. Then they saw Cortez enter the house.

"I-I think we should be getting back." Fluttershy said worriedly.

"She's right darling, we should be getting back."

"Oh, alright it's just too bad we won't get to find out more about this thing." Twilight sighed as she teleported them back.

Without his stealth mode, Cortez was much more visible, so he didn't bother running fast, as he searched for the six who had helped him. He came across Twilight going into the library. Cortez stopped her,"Hi, thanks for saving me when I got hit." He said as she jumped.

"Uhh, your welcome I guess, I have so many questions, what is Terraria like, Why did you want to kill discord, any idea why the moon was a snowman." He unicorn would have rambled on forever if Cortez had not stopped her.

"It's good, he was destroying this land and it was a frost moon, and I have some questions too, such as where am I?"

"You're in Equestria, Ponyville to be more specific, what are you doing here?"

"I came across a strange staff I had never seen, it said 'Baculum Equestria' on it, and when I used it, it sent me here." Cortez figured that the pony was just being so trusting because she wanted to know more about him, but he wasn't worried, he could take her in a fight.

"Hmm, never heard of that, I'll check the library sometime again." They went inside of golden oaks library and while Cortez looked at the books Twilight continued to ask him questions, surprised that he had returned.

Cortez considered the next few months uneventful, well except for the whole 'winter wrap up' thing. During those months he learned as much about the land as he could, became friends with many of the ponies and Twilight learned as much about him as she could.

One day Cortez lay on the warm grass, the warm sun beating down upon his un-armoured chest.

"Heya Cortezey, your welcome to Ponyville party is about to start!"

'Don't remind me' he thought as he threw his armour on,"Ok, I'm looking forward to it!" 'Ugg this is going to be worse than the frost moon' he lamented to himself.

As he walked to the party, he admired how fast the re-biluding of the town was going. Most of the houses and shops had been improved, from before the frost moon.

"So, you have party's where you come from?" Pinkie asked with excitement,"Because, I don't know how anypony could live without party's!"

"I think there's someone you should meet" Cortez smiled. He could never remember a time this peaceful, for him, every day have been survival.

"We're here, sugercube corner." Cortez remembered the building pinkie had just announced they had arrived at, it was the one where he had fought the yeti, and it looked completely rebuilt. "We had to rebuild it after the 'frosty moon' thing."

As they entered Cortez guessed every pony in the town was there. He saw every shade and size of pony, and noticed a stage at the front. Pinkie pushed him up to the front and spoke,"Heya every pony, this is our friend Cortez. He is the alien who appeared a few months ago" The crowed gasped,"But don't worry, he's friendly, now I don't know alllllllllll that much about him, so let's let him say a few words about himself!"

The lights dimmed and one shone upon him,"Well hello. My names Cortez I defeated the lord of chaos, saved the town from a frost moon and I guess that about it." Cortez did not know that the list would soon be extended. He left the stage and the lights went back on.

Just as Cortez was thinking this wouldn't be so bad, a green pony came up to him,"Hey, I'm Lyra, and  are you a human? Because I know there real and every pony thinks I'm crazy." Cortez was glad his shroomite armour had been repaired, and he quickly vanished.

After reappearing, Twilight came up to him,"Hi, I was wondering if you would like to come to a picnic with us tomorrow, so we could all get to know you a bit better?"

Cortez thought for a moment,"Hmm, well I think I'll have to save this town from a hoard of zombies and stop a lord of cahos, but I'm sure can find some time in between then.

"Alright" Twilight laughed as the party continued.

Aside from the cutie mark crusaders, this was the most peaceful time of Cortez's life. All that would soon change.
