Becuase of a stupid mistake on my part, i ahve been transported to the magical land of equestria. Or at least near it.

[SOON TO BE RE-WRITTEN]

I have made a mistake. This is obvious, as I am at the bottom of a lake. In a giant metal diving suit, straight out of one of my favorite games of all time. While this would be amazing at any other moment, it was just plain annoying now.

Along with that, I have also grown rather fond of a young foal, whom I cant seem to leave as that (basically) can kill me. So yeah, uber fun times. Non-stop.

The Transport

Hello people of the internet, I have brought you a story! A crossover (sort of) at that. Its contains many things, such as people, ponies, BGs (Big Daddy's) and (possibly) other races of such content. I hope you like it.

I don't own anything!

My day was normal, for the most part. I had gotten out of bed, took a shower, then lazed around until I needed to leave for ma job. Either that or I was waiting for George to come by, and judging by my,clock today was Saturday. YAY. Sarcasm is not included in the package, you must it purchase separately . I need to move again, I'm getting sarcastic. So with that I began my adventure through my apartment.

My apartment was relatively small, I only had the space I needed as I liked being simple. It was easy and not very complicated. Not like it is now. But anyway, like I had said it was boring. kind of sucked ,actually. That is, until George got there.

With a few knocks I was up and at the door. I opened it to see one of, if not the best of, my friends. He was a white guy, like me, except he had straight black hair and I had curly brown hair. I was slightly taller than him, but only by a few inches. Other than that we were the same. Same skinny body shape, same everything else (cause I didn't want to list anything else.). With him here I could get down to business.

"Hey dude, you ready?" he asked me.

"Yup, you got the stuff?" I replied.

"Yup."

"Cool, lets get going."

With that we left. You see we were working on some outfits for a special occasion. That 'special occasion' was us finally deciding on what to do on our free days. Instead of anything really productive, we chose to, as a pair, work on a costume from one of our favorite games ever. That was a Big Daddy suit, specifically the alpha series, from the game of Bioshock. While we worked mainly on a Bouncer version, the alpha was a secondary part I had started, since it was my favorite design out of all of them.

We had used his car to transport the suits, since we were trying to be as realistic as possible we used actual metal for the suits though only for specific parts. I was strong, not superman. Or spliced up. So needles to say they were heavy, even without the metal. The suits were huge: the bouncer being 7'2 and the alpha being a little bit taller. I don't actually know the height, its probably something akin to 7'6 or so. Working on them was hard, much less carrying them.

We had taken them out to a field today, to see if we could actually put them on. Don't ask me why a field, it seemed like a viable option for testing. Plus, since there was no one around there was no one around to criticize us. Though we didn't really care, I didn't want my sister to come by and be all "You guys are nerds!", even though she is absolutely fascinated by anime. She seriously has a wall full of it. I will never get her desire to watch that.

Back to what we were doing, which was currently carrying the suits out of the back of his truck, him carrying the Bouncer and me carrying the Alpha Series respectively. So now we had to put them on. This will be fun.

The way the armor works is that the legs and the chest piece are connected by default, though they can be detached. The arms are connectable to the chest and the helmet can be put on, but must be secured. The boots are also separate.That is how the armor in this will work.

"Ugh geez, these things weigh, like, 200 pounds!" George said hefting up the chest piece.

"That's cause they are, I'm surprised we can, hmpf, lift them. Much less put them on." I said with a grunt, hefting the left arm up to my shoulder. I already had the rest on, except for the helmet. though I was going to have to help George with his. The helmet is secured from the outside, and having it on meant you couldn't really see much, unless you had your body morphed with the suit. That would suck though.

As I was lifting up my helmet, some glistening object had caught my eye. It was a strange rock, having pulsing red lines all across it. Very strange and for some reason, I wanted to touch it. So I walked towards it, a thump accompanying each step. And as I reached out to grab the strange stone, my finger tip touching the rock, there was an extremely bright light. Not even a mere moment was spent blinding me, and losing my conscience had soon followed and with that I had slept.

???

I had woken up with a start, my body jerking in response to the sudden wake up call. Oh was it painful. It felt like the pressure of the ocean was all over me. I could hardly move. It was very disorienting, as my senses seemed to be dulled. I could barely open my eyes but when I did I had to close them again. It was too bright.

Giving myself a few seconds I opened my eyes again. What I saw shocked me. I was underwater, in some sort of lake or something. Oh yeah and I was looking through what seems to be a glass pane. Wait what's that? Are those body's? I can't tell, there too far away. Well I'm not going to find out sitting here am I?

With that thought I rolled my, what seemed to be ridiculously heavy at the time, body over to where I could use my arms to push myself up. The thing is though, I seemed to forget by body hated me right now, so that in itself took about 5 minutes. Not to mention how hard it was to stand. Only when I was fully up did I realize I was in a giant suit, because my head just about touched the top of the cave I was in. I was not at the slightest concerned about that though, I just wanted to get out of the lake.

Just to clear the scene up, he's at the bottom of a sloped lake. You know, you have the shore, then it slopes down, normally into a cave or something. Right now he was at the bottom of the slope and at the entrance of the cave. Sorry if that was confusing, but it was the best explanation I could get.

So with that, I went full steam ahead and started trudging my way up the not very steep slope, which took an insane amount of effort by the way. I was going to find out just where I was. Now that I think about it, I wish I had taken a more precautious route because I scared the living crap out of some changelings. In my defense I didn't think I was that scary.

Author's Note

Just let me know how I did guys, that's all I want. Please at least try to be nice, I'm kind of new here.

First Meetings At The Lake

Hey there peoples, chapter number two is this. Right down there. Uh huh, just below this text. Um that's it you know, nothing else... are you only still reading this because there was text here? Probably. Whatever, onward!

One thing Estra wanted to do today was to go get a drink. That's it. And she did just that, albeit with a few of her specie beside her. The moment was nice and calm, not something one would normally see in a hive this size, where everyone had a job to do. When a moment like this happens though, it is always appreciated, especially since the failed invasion. That plan had set back the entire hive by what seems like a century because of the loss they had suffered. It was not easy to recover from it, they hardly managed to save themselves, but they had done it. Now a days though the sites were not the same. There was no longer time for just sitting back. If you could work, you worked. It was an unfortunate but undeniable truth. The population had suffered a great decrease and that had changed everything. Especially the workforce.

Estra was currently enjoying the time she had, as she had finished her job only an hour ago. She worked as an overseer of sorts, watching over various parts of the small colony they now had. The thirst of hers had been quenched about as soon as she got to one of the small underground lakes the colony used for water. She mainly stayed now for the conversation that the others had been going on about for 45 minutes. The two changelings that had been talking were unknown to her, a not very uncommon thing for herself as she rarely did any socializing. While the conversation had been lost on her the instant she heard it, she enjoyed the sound of there voices. They soothed her mind, which had been riddled with strange emotions today. In fact it had been like that ever since the Queen had come back with only a third of the forces she had taken with her. None were undamaged.

All the while Estra and the two others had occupied themselves they had failed to see the movement in the water, or the thumps and shaking of the ground until both had gotten close enough for all three members to simultaneously feel the ground beneath there feet shake.

THUMP

"Whoa what was that?" said one of the others as they all looked around the large room for the source of such rumbling.

THUMP

"There it is again!" Said the other

THUMP

"What's in the water?" questioned Estra.

At her comment they all looked down the lake, where the lighting was sparse. Through the shadows though, one in particular could be seen 'moving' toward the shore. It seemed though, that even with the amount of darkness encompassing it , the being was much closer than it appeared, as they could now clearly see a light protruding from the darkness.

Looking toward the mystery changelings, Estra barked out:

"You two, go and alert anyone you can find and have them come back here armed. "

Hearing her orders the two quickly left in search for any other member of there species to come back and see if they could assist, while Estra stayed behind. She quickly backed up near the entrance and took a fighting stance. She would be dammed if she let some strange thing come into her home and wreck it.

Only when it was I who came out of those waters did she regret not going with the two to look for assistance.

She was expecting some strange creature that would live in a place like that ,that was possibly just very large and not an extremely large, but still challenging, opponent. What she was not expecting was to see a creature much different than anything else she had ever seen in her whole life. It was bipedal and tall, even taller than the Queen she would say. It had what appeared to be leather skin, with some portions of it being a metal of some type. What would be assumed its face was just a glowing orange oval shaped (sideways) glass, the only other features being a smooth bronze-looking type metal that encompassed the rest of its head and neck area. Its legs looked like they were made out of the same fabric as the rest, the boots being a pure metal design. The worst part about this creature was not how intimidating its appearance was, it was the very large drill that replaced its right hand like appendage that it had on its left.

And when they saw each other they stood and stared. Well glaring in Estra's case, but she had good reason to be. I mean have you seen an Alpha Series Big Daddy? There huge and scary as all hell. So ignoring the fact that Estra's legs were shaking, the creature lifted up its arm slowly, and moved it from left to right repeatedly. While the implications of this gesture was not lost on Estra, she could not grasp that something so fierce and intimidating would just wave a little 'Hello' as a first contact greeting. This had caused her to become extremely rigid and made the situation even worse, somehow. That was nothing compared to what happened next though.

You see when I talk it doesn't come out correctly. Instead of simply saying "Hello" I had instead done this:

"RAAAAAAAWR

And Estra had done what I consider the appropriate response for a situation like that. She just screamed back.

"WHAT IN TARTARUS ARE YOU?!"

So that was a fun first contact wasn't it?

Second chapter, be gentle.

Making it even worse

Hello there everyone! As you all should know, the reason I have not posted anything in a while was because of my mothers death. While that did in fact happen, I will try to get back to this as fast as I can. Thanks for waiting:) hope this little chapter makes it better.

So that went well. Sorta. Not really. Oh you don't know? Well I think I just made first contact with an alien. It was amazing and all, but for some strange reason I could t grasp the fact that I looked like a midevil Frankenstein. Yeah, I think that's what ruined it. Also 'cause I sounded like a whale when I talked. Why I forget these things I will never know. It's probably because my soul just wants to enjoy itself. What a dick.

Anyway, back to the situation. Basically it happened like this: I walked out of the water, scared a few of them off, and had a stare down with the remaining one. Then I waved and it and said "Hello" and it came out "BLAAARGU" or whatever. It scared the absolute cracks out of her and she screamed in some weird creature language. I think that means they can talk. Shiiiiiiiiiiit. Well no use just standing here.

So I went over and grabbed her face.

What? Was that not appropriate for the situation? Hey, in my defense she just started screaming when I got closer so I was justified. I think? Not sure, doesn't matter now though because she's finally quiet. Wait she? Why is she a she now? Maybe I though that because of the voices pitch. Ya know now that I think about it her form is slimmer than the other ones. So she's a she or the guys here are really wimpy. Wait a tic, why is she not struggling anymore?

I looked over and was struck with horror. She wasn't moving. I just realized my hand kind took up most of her face. ...did I just kill her? OH NO! Nononononononononononononono! Please don't be dead! I tried to check her pulse, but my giant leather hands couldn't feel anything. How to see if she's alive? Oh I know! I can just take of my helmet and check to see if she's breathing. So I gently laid her body down sideways, undid the clasp that held the helmet to the suit and took my helmet off.

And was immediately assulted by the blinding light of a dim cavern. That kinda sucked. And burned. Ma aeyes. Ow.

Adjusting to the bright-dimness I quickly got onto both of my knees and leaned down to check her breath....and she's all good! Awesome. I put my helmet back on and secure it. You don't know how thankful I was for that. Now I seem just a little less dangerous. At least it seemed like it. Probably still going to be the same for all the others. Now what to do with this crazy alien lady?

Unfortunately this was the wrong time to be contemplating what to do because right as this moment the rest if her freinds showed up. And there was this tall one, looked like a grown up version of the damsel at my knees. Said damsels placement, along with mine I presume, did not amuse the soldier-looking others that were there as well. Probably because this position could be very compramising. Especially for a giant beastie like me. They did not appreciate it.

The larger of the group began to approach me, albeit with a little bickering from one of the more defined smaller creatures. The creature had calmly walked towards me, while I stood up to my full height. This made the others tense, but not move beyond that. The larger one did not seem affected by my appearance and gazed at me with a critical eye, unlike the glares that were sent my way by the smaller ones. Now that I think about it they look strikingly similar to horses. We the tall one did, the small ones looked like... I don't know, ponies I guess? Yeah those.

And then she talked some weird alien language. Could not understand a word unfortunately. And for that I did what I could. I stood up, backed away from the body, and raised my hands up. I did that and waited. Waited and waited. It felt like hours but it was really about four seconds. Most awkward four seconds of my life I'll tell ya. After that it became even worse. Cause a new guy showed up. Except he was just a bit different. You see , this new guy would change my life forever. He would reunite me with my friends, my sibling, even help me make a new family. But there was one thing that made this guy different. This one thing made him something new in this world.

He was a human. Mostly. This ought to be fun.
