Following the Battle of Canterlot
"Princess Celestia, we have captured the last human."
"Good, send him to the dungeon. As much as I hate to, we must execute him, him and his kind has just slaughter our guard and killed the Captain of the Guard! Send him to the dungeon, and we shall hang him! I don't want or like to do this, but we have no other choice." Celestia looked at human. "I'm sorry, but we have no choice. Be gone with you!
"....."

Canterlot Dungeon
"Get in. GET IN!" I felt a spear poke my back. I looked down at my hands, tied, and pretty damn tight... "Here is your new home... Until your death trial.. Have fun!" I felt a bolt of magic hit my back, causing me to fly in and land on the ground. A unicorn guard came in and lifted me up.
"I will now retie you so your arms are hanging straight up, so there is now no way of you escaping... I can't wait to see you suffer.. Killing the captain of the royal guard of the day of his WEDDING!" He tied my arms up, and I looked up. This was it, this was the end of it for me. I tried, and I should've gone through that portal, and then none of this would have happened to me. I looked at the guard gates, and saw that two guards were outside my dungeon cell. So just trying to sneak out is not an option now. I knew there were no more humans. This would be the end... I closed my eyes, and dozed off.
3 HOURS LATER
BANG
My eyes shot opened, I looked up and saw two knocked out guards, and a human?
"Sup, kill that Lunar bitch?"
"But... I thought..."
"Ha, thought I died? Well, you were wrong lad. Names Timothy, I was that one dumb ass that decided to try my hand at killing a princess and I charged. After she hit me in the stomach with that energy bolt, I was flung against the wall. I'm sure you all thought I died, but I didn't. I saw the guards coming, so I played dead. Once the battle ended, I went and hid in a room closet, while in, I heard you being hauled off to this dungeon. So I snuck in and knocked out a few guards. No time, we have to leave, now!" He took out some keys and unlocked the cell door, and came in and took the ropes off my hands. "Here, thought you might like this." He handed me a bandanna and I smiled. Just like old times.
"Thanks. Where to now?"
"We can go hide near the train station, then hop on the next train out of here. Once then, we should just head back to New Jamestown, unless they burned that place to the ground. If they did, we could just make a small shelter and stay for the night or go to that one ponies place... What is her name? The one with butterflies on her ass?"
"Fluttershy?"
"Sure, come on, lets get outta here." We went to the exit doors, and saw no one in sight. "Come on, this way, we can crawl down the vines and get outta here." We ran down the hall way and found a window, we grabbed onto the vines and slid down. "Great, now home fr-" Just then, a guard turned around the corner.
"...What are you doing out of your cell?!?! GUARDS!"
"Run!" We both took off towards the exit of the garden, and met with instant crossbow fire. "Come on! We gotta get to the train station!" With ponies screaming left and right, we had to find a way to block them off.
"Knock down those crates!" I grabbed a hold of some crates near by and knocked them over, causing some guards to stop, and the Pegasus to fly right over them without any trouble. "Keep going! We have to get out of here!" We turned down an alley, with Timothy picking up a knife he found by a near-by stand. "Alright, we should be fine here.." I looked at him and spoke in a worried voice.
"What now? How can we get out."
"The train station is not too far from here. We can get on the caboose and ride on out, and jump out at the Ponyville Train Station. Once then, we can make our way to New Jamestown. Here, take this." He handed me a map of Equestria. "It will help you on your journey."
"Wait, what about you?"
"...There is something you need too see..."
"What? What is it?" He sighed, and lifted up his shirt. "What, is that...?"
"Yes... I don't know what it is... But I'm dying.." His stomach was slowly becoming... Furry? No, started to swell, grow more and more hair. "What ever that Lunar bitch hit me with must be spreading some sort of poison or disease. I went and hid in a closet, as I already told you, and then passed out, but during that, I was... Dreaming and saw..."
"Saw...?"
"Earth... I saw Earth... Saw my family... Friends... My dog, Charles, Everything before I left.. And came here.... It seemed all too real... ....." But never mind that, they are going to find us soon. Come, lets go!" We ran out into the streets.
"There they are!"
"Guards, after them!"
"Come on Chuck, there is the train! We gotta hurry!" We were running as fast as we could. My legs about to give out, but that fear of death kept me running. "Hurry!!!!" The train was pulling out, and the guards were catching up to us. I ran ahead and jumped on the Caboose of the train.
"Come on Timothy!" I reached for his arm and grabbed it, trying to pull him up, with everything I had. Guards till chasing, pegasi flying above, firing crossbow bolts. "Almost on! Just a little bit more!" As soon as it seemed he got up, one bolt. One crossbow bolt. One Guard, one bolt, one crossbow, one shot. Hit. Hit. Hit. It hit him. The back of the neck. It hit. I heard him cry out, and I saw the guards, swarming him, dragging him away, his arm, dropping his knife.
"After the other human!"
"Wait, forget him, what harm can he do, we will have a guard post moved to Ponyville at first light, doesn't matter what happens to him now. He is alone, and he, or it, it is a dead man. What harm can one hairless ape do. As soon as he gets to Ponyville, an angry mob will get him for sure, if not, I'm sure he will die on his own. They are gone."
I looked at the guards, dragging Timothy's dead body away. And as I looked on, I realized how brave he was. Whenever Princess Luna stopped us, he was the one to charge with an ax, and try to kill her. I remember him when he was at the front of the lines, at New Jamestown, at Ponyville, fighting alongside Ben. And Ben, my old friend, leader. And Juan, I only knew these guys for no long at all, but they became close. Close to me. And as I rode along, I thought of the twenty or so that made it home. That made it to Earth. Could've been North Korea, America, Russia, England, Iraq, anywhere. I know for them, anywhere was better than here. I looked at the city of Canterlot, leaving, for what I hope will be for the last time, and going where ever I can find. Whoever I can find. I will get home. I looked at the map of Equestria, and began to think..
'Now, where do I begin....' I looked at Ponyville, and remembered that that is where this whole journey began.
"Off to the Ponyville Science Center now..." And as I looked back at the city of Canterlot, heading into a tunnel, I didn't know if I would be greeted with a mob trying to mureder me, guards trying to kill me, or no one at all. But that doesn't matter. I will get home, and I will meet up with those twenty, and I will meet up with my family. But where to start? I looked at the knife, feeling tired, and thought one more thing before falling asleep.
'Goodbye Timothy.... See you on the other side...'
Author's Note
Well, I'M ALIVE, and the sequel is here, after many months, weeks, or whatever trying to come up with something that is not to crappy, I had to restart soooo many times cause, well, my ideas were pretty bad. So this was the best one I came up with and decided to go for it. So this could be a train wreck (Get it, cause he is now on a train, and it could wreck, ha?
Umm.. No more puns...) or it could be a hit. Also, as you could tell by now, this will have a lot of Maze Runner references to it, so... Also, sorry if this seems rushed, it will go slower from here, so as always... Happy Reading!
