Chapter 1-A New World

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

On a bright sunny day that was perfect for a nap, Rainbow dash was doing just that. After a good sleep and waking up to the sound of her name being called she stretched her wings to go for a short fly.

"Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash! Where are you?" She instantly recognized the voice of her friend, Rarity. 'Ugh,' Rainbow thought while fighting the urge to just stay still hoping she would pass. Rarity was looking to the skies hoping to spot Rainbow Dash. She noticed a cyan feather falling towards her.

"Rainbow, darling I know your up there! So just come down, we need to meet the others for the picnic." The picnic, of course! Rainbow cursed herself for not remembering.

She fluttered down to stand next to Rarity, "Hey Rares, whats up." Rainbow asked her fellow bearer, the element of generosity.
"Well as you know all the girls are meeting at the Lonely oak." Rarity replied.

"Ya, I remembered I just fell asleep." She answered sheepishly.

Rarity continued on talking, "Well then darling no time to loose chop chop." They arrived a short time later to see their other four friends waiting.

"Alright, now that everypony is here lets dig in!" Pinkie Pie said happily as ever. Before anypony took a bite a loud explosion was heard, and Fluttershy quickly ran and hid behind Twilight.

"What was that?!" Twilight asked in surprise.

"What ever that was it was way louder than a sonic rainboom." Rainbow Dash said as everypony saw a flaming object shooting right for them. But instead of hitting them it zoomed over head and landed deep in the Everfree. Twilight wrote a letter to Celestia telling her what happened and received one shortly after telling to investigate the Everfree.

Twilight quickly said "Come on girls," and before anypony could object she ran off!


You know that moment in a movie or t.v. show the character gets high and they start seeing pretty colors? Well, a specific being of immense power found himself seeing pretty colors even though he didn't take drugs. Or did he? No, the last time he did that he woke up in a cardboard box in a gorilla cage. And that's not even bad compared to his brother, who was told he ran around thinking he was a penguin singing, "I'm a penguin motherfucker, I'm a penguin!" So, pretty colors were every where and after about 3 minutes of that an immensely bright white flash exploded in front of its eyes.

It saw himself hanging upside down in a tree on a branch that was about to break! *SNAP!* The branch broke and it landed on his face. Getting up and holding his nose, he began to take in what happened. Weapons? Nope. Equipment? Nope. Location? Nope!

Not being able to tell where he was the being he began going over his equipment. Strapped to his back he had a six sided titanium mace with a platinum coated handle, with designs etched in, a carbine rifle, a blood red sword with a yellow pearl on the bottom of the hilt , a KSG 12 shotgun, and strapped to his leg was his favorite handgun, a silver 44. with the words 'Go back to hell' etched onto the barrel. Finishing by checking to see if he had ammo, 'Dammit, only about ten clips. Better use them wisely.'

Finally he began to go over his amor. His boots were made of a light but durable titanium-iron alloy with an inferno red as the main color and light grey plates sticking upwards. They had only taken minor damage along with his pants and chest piece. His pants were made of a soft black fabric with steel plates covering the legs, and his chest piece was leather and steel with an extra layer covering his heart and stomach. His gloves were a plain grey and armored plates flowing along his arms. They however had a few fingers missing and the palm of his left glove was gone and had singed edges. He realized his head piece was missing. He looked around the area he was in for half an hour then saw it sitting under a tree. His helmet was also an inferno red with light grey, it was smooth and curved back giving it the look of an alien. He picked it up and having taken little damage put it on.

"Come on girls, it's just ahead." Was that voices he was hearing well, now he knows there's intelligent life. The voices got closer and he jumped into a nearby bush to hide. The voices belonged to what looked like technicolor ponies. Based on the higher pitch he assumed they were female. 'They must be investigating that blast.' he thought.'In a matter of fact I should too.'

About five minutes of walking and taking in his surroundings another blast was heard and the ground shook with it. Screams of surprise erupted roughly twenty feet away. He stealthily walked over a bush and parted the leaves. Getting a better look at the ponies he managed to find that one had a horn, two had wings, and two didn't have anything special, and an... alicorn? He thought they were extinct.

'Hmmm, interesting.' The alien saw a purple alicorn do something with its horn. A bright purple light erupted from the horn and took to the sky. The light made a small explosion which spread to a large radius. All the heads were turned towards him.

'Oh shit,' he thought.

"Girls, I think we're being watched!" Twilight said in a hushed tone.

"Ooooo. Somepony new to throw a party for! And a new friend to make and party and eat cupcakes with anmfmfmfmfmmmmm..." Twilight shut Pinkies mouth with her magic. Twilight quickly threw a shield around her and her friends not knowing if this creature was hostile or friendly. The creature noticed the shield and saw the ponies didn't trust it. What ever it was knew how to show friendly actions, it came out from behind the bush and sat down in front of it and laid out a claw-like appendage.

"I have no means to harm you, but I do need help." Twilight and her friends were shocked when it knew perfect Equestrian. An alien that speaks their language, wow!

"And how do we know that, it could be a trap. So, we'er not coming out." Hearing this tone come from her friend, Pinkie Pie put in a word to make Rainbow reconsider her actions towards the being.

" It's okay Rainbow, he's friendly."

"But Pinkie, I don't trust that thing."

"Look at me silly, I'm not twitching. That means we can trust it! YAY!" Hearing this the others relaxed, except for Fluttershy who was still hiding behind Applejack.

Twilight let down her shield and asked the new creature, "How do we know we can trust you?"

"You don't need to. But, I'm looking for my brother and... He was that meteor."

"Wait a darn second there sugar-cube, you mean ta tell us that your brother was that there meteor?

"Yes. And don't call me sugar-cube, before you ask, he is alive."

Then the rainbow one asked something that sounded like she was a huge fangirl or something. "That is awesome! How does somepony survive something like that?! He must be really cool, and tough, and awesome, and... wait just a second is he cooler than me?"

"Really, dude I'm not gonna answer that."

"DUDE! Who you callin a dude, dude!?"

"Rainbow, darling even if you were a stallion I bet you would still be you, to put it lightly," Rarity, the white unicorn, put in.

After standing for what seemed like ages the being sat down and asked the same question in an annoyed tone, "So, am I getting your help or not? Cause he's probably waking up from the fall by now." The ponies huddled together and were talking in hushed tones. A few moments after they all walked up to the red alien. The red alien and what seemed like the leader of the group stared at each other.

Finally the purple alicorn spoke, "We'll help you, but under one condition."

"And that is?"

"Tell us your name. If were going to trust you at least give us your name," the alicorn said as if he expected to introduce himself at first sight.

The red being stood there thinking he should give them his real name, or his nickname his brother calls him? After some consideration he decided to put both options out on the table. "Okay, fair enough. You can call me, Four."

Along the walk to the crash he managed to get there names as well, the alicorn was apparently a princess of something, her name was Twilight. The white unicorn with the fancy mane is Rarity; a fashion designer, Applejack; a cowpony part of the most successful apple farming family, Rainbow Dash; the fastest flyer or so she says, Fluttershy; the shy animal caregiver, and then there was the pink one with a smile literally spread from ear to ear, Pinkie Pie the party pony.

Pinkie Pie kept staring at Four for some odd reason. Finally she spoke, " Do you like to party?"

"Uuhh... ya sure, parties, love 'em."

"Pinkie, leave him alone. I'm pretty sure he doesn't like parties," Twilight said.

"Silly, everypony loves parties!"

There was a silence after that short conversation ended and Rarity started walking next to Four. "Ahem. I would like you to answer a question of mine, what are you wearing?"

Four seemed surprised at this question, 'Can't she see it's armor?'
"Well, obviously it's armor. It may not be the best looking, but if it saves me from injuries I'll take it."

"Oh, well of course it's armor, but what is it made of?"

"I'm sorry Ms.Rarity, but that's classified. I can't tell anyone what it's made of, if I did Six would kill me."

Upon hearing a new name Twilight stopped walking and asked, "Who's Six?"

"Six, is my brother," Four said and then something in the back of his head clicked. He wanted to know how they would react to cussing, everything reacts differently. Like that time on this one planet where everyone was super fancy. They ended up getting kicked out of the restaurant. "and he's 97% badass! Oh, and if you don't mind me asking... Where the FUCK AM I!?" He ended with a cheesey smile.

Applejack did not like Four's tone of language and covered Flutershy's ears before she could hear. "Ya better watch your mouth there mister, I don't care who or what you are! Mind your tongue," Applejack angrily said.

"Sorry...mom." That earned a muffled laugh from Rainbow and Twilight, plus AJ gave him the stink eye and walked on like nothing happened. "I'm sorry, I couldn't resist doing that. But it was funny, right?"

"Ya that was kinda funny but, please keep the swearing down around royalty. You don't want to get blasted when you meet the other princesses. Do you?" Twilight asked.

"No. I can keep it under control. Six on the other hand... eh, he does it a little to much. He can barely go twelve minutes without."

They finally reached the crater where Six could be and Four jumped down into the crater and looked around in the rubble. It included big chunks of metal and concrete. Four murmured to himself after looking and not finding Six in the rubble, "My God Six, what happened back there?"

Rainbow Dash and Twilight flew down while Applejack and Pinkie slid down the twenty-five foot crater, Rarity stayed behind because she didn't want to get her hooves dirty and Fluttershy was too scared to go down. Four wondered why Six wasn't in the crater, but remembered that there was always two meteors when Six entered.

Four asked the ponies, "Hey, Twilight was there another meteor that entered orbit?"

"Not of my knowledge. Why?" Twilight answered in question. A familiar floating ash drifted towards Twilight and she opened it and read aloud. "Dear Twilight, I recently felt a powerful surge of energy here in Canterlot. If you wouldn't mind, bring your friends in case we have to use the Elements."

Four immediately knew what this letter meant. The energy was Six and he would land near, Canterlot. Four asked Twilight, "Whats the fastest way to Canterlot?"

"The fastest way would be to fly, but I don't think Twilight and I could carry the you and the others." Rainbow did not want to have to carry Four, he looked heavy. On the other hand or in this case hoof, there was still Aj and Rarity to worry about.Twilight however had a different idea.

"Actually, I could teleport us all there right now, but I'll get ti-" Four cut Twilight off before she could explain the side effects.

"Twilight, I could care less. Just get us there before Six snaps and kills someone."

"Kill somepony, why would he do that?! Is he crazy or something," Twilight asked with worry in her voice.

"After years of living in the dark... yes."

At this point the ponies were starting to get worried at the idea of a killer in the castle. Twilight charged up her horn to teleport to Canterlot, "Alright everypony gather around and get close, this could get bumpy."
