Chapter 1: At The Convention...

Hello, my name is Kimchi, but my friends call me Kim. I'm eighteen years old, a senior and I'm a grade A student in high school. I enjoy watching anime and My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, I'm a closet brony because of my stuck up parents and their culture. And yes, I'm half Chinese and I'm born in America.

I'm just glad to have the best of friends I could ask for. There's Tyrone, Stephen, Mike, Eugene, Carl, Khan, Henry, Lance, Peter, Eric and Sam. They're the best friends that I've ever had, they even watch MLP with me and they are bronies as well! Our favorite princess is Luna and Nightmare Moon.

I wish I could meet Luna and Nightmare Moon someday, heck, even my friends get to meet them as well! Or we all get to go to Equestria together! But sadly, that is only in dreams...

Anyway, Mike said that there's going to be this really cool convention coming up this week and he and the others are going, I can't wait to go! But first, I must make my costume and politely tell my parents to croak in their sleep. I really like that anime Saint Seiya, I think I should go as a Lunar Saint for the convention.

I wonder what this convention has to offer, my friends and I will have the best time of our lives! What ever could go wrong?

At The Convention...

"Whoa, this place is HUGE!"

Peter was looking around in excitement as he walked with Kim and the others, the convention was full of people today. Kim had dressed up as a Lunar Saint and his friends are also dressed up as Lunar Saints as well. They all really like Saint Seiya, because of the powers and the cool armor.

"Damn, I should've gotten something a bit bigger." Carl grunted, tapping his armored belly as he ate a snicker bar.

"Carl, for the love of god! Where are you getting those snacks?!" Eugene asked irritatedly as the sound of crunching from Carl continued.

"What? A fat man's gotta eat, right?" Carl asked innocently as he tossed the wrapper away and released a loud belch, his armored stomach jiggling.

Eugene recoiled from the sound and let out a groan of disgust as he caught up with the others.

"Hey Mike, did you watch the new season of MLP last night?" Kim asked excitedly.

"Yeah man, I watched it!" Mike replied as he and Kim fist bumped. "That Starlight Glimmer was a bitch, though." Mike added as Kim nodded in agreement.

While Kim was talking to Mike about the new season of My Little Pony, Peter continued looking around the convention. He suddenly spotted a counter with a middle aged man with white hair behind it.

"Enchanted Weapons Shop?" Peter read the sign in curiosity.

"Hey guys, that man over there is selling... Ethereal weapons?! That's so cool!" Peter exclaimed as he darted towards the counter.

"Hey Peter, wait up!" Kim shouted, the others doing the same as they followed after Peter.

When Kim and his friends reached the counter, Peter was already examining an ethereal sword in amazement at how real it looked.

"Whoa..." Peter murmured in astonishment. The middle aged man just smiled as he brought his attention to Kim and his friends as they approached.

"Hello boys, see anything you like?" the man asked as Kim approached.

Kim gave the man a suspicious look before exploring the items on sale, his friends did the same as they checked out the weapons and other stuff.

"Hm... how much do these cost?" Kim asked as he looked around at the stack of weapons. 'I hope they're not made in China.' Kim thought to himself as the man smiled.

"Tell you what, you and your friends look like nice boys." the man replied, looking at Kim's costume. "Oh, you boys are dressed up as Saint Seiya? I love watching that show when I was little." the man said, smiling as if remembering a distant memory.

"So let me tell you what. I'm giving you boys a discount... They're free." the man said, whispering the last part as he leaned forward a bit and glanced around. "Choose whatever you want, just don't tell or show anyone else." the man added with a wink.

Kim, Peter and the others gasped in shock and silently cheered in delight before picking up their desired weapons. The man smiled when the boys thanked him before leaving.

"Thank you mister!" Peter called over his shoulder, waving to the middle aged man as he waved back. "What a nice and generous man." Peter said to himself before running to catch up with the others.

"Kids these days..." the man said with a chuckle and smiled as his eyes twinkled. "Your wish is granted."

5 Minutes Later...

While walking around the crowded convention, Kim and his friends took some pictures and videos with their phones, they started to get bored after a while.

"Urrrgh... I'm getting bored." Henry groaned as he cracked his knuckles. He looked around the convention only to see some guys dressed in Nazi uniforms passing by.

"I wanna use the bathroom." Lance said, holding his crotch. "Wait, I think I can hold it."

"I want to go home and sleep." Khan said, yawning and stretching. "C̄hạn beụ̄̀x pĕn nrk."

"Hmph, at least Sammy and I are still having fun." Eric said, resting his hand on Sam's shoulder. "Isn't that right, Sammy?" Eric asked flirtingly.

"S - stop it, Eric." Sam blushed as he looked away, everyone giving them nervous looks.

Kim and Mike shook their heads at the two's antics as they sat down next to a molded statue of Nightmare Moon. Their friends later joined them as they watched people come and go, some people stopped to get some pictures of them with the statue or take some selfies.

Kim and the others joked and played around with some cosplayers to pass the time as the convention began to thin out. It was now afternoon and the boys decided to stay for a while before going home.

"I grow tired of this 'waiting for something to happen' for no reason." Stephen said to Khan, earning a nod from him while he sat cross legged. Stephen closed his eyes and began meditating while the others chatted.

"Hey, at least we got free weapons, right?" Tyrone replied, chuckling as he posed for a couple of girls who blushed before running off.

"You're right. Isn't it suspicious that - " Kim began but was interrupted by someone clearing their throat.

"Well, well, well! If it isn't Kimchi and his friends." a voice with a Chinese accent called mockingly,

Kim and his friends tensed up when they heard the voice. They slowly turned their heads and as expected, saw a tall scrawny boy older than Kim with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face.

"Oh no, not you again! It's Feng!" Kim exclaimed to his friends in shock.

"It's Meow to you! Stop saying my real name!" the irritated Chinese boy shouted indignantly as a couple of boys trailed behind him. "I'm like a cat, how did I sneak up on you so easily hm?"

Kim and his friends shot up and got into defensive stances in front of the statue of Nightmare Moon. Meow and his lackeys smirked as they approached the boys.

"What are you doing here?" Mike asked, snorting as he gripped his sheathed sword.

"Oh, don't mind us. We're just here to defeat you. And this time, I challenge you all to a fight!" Meow announced dramatically, adding maniacal laughter to build up a dramatic effect.

"Hmph, bring it on. Ming Ming." Kim challenged, unsheathing his ethereal sword as the older boy growled in anger. "Come at me, bro." Kim taunted.

"I'll have your ass for that, Kimchi! You sorry excuse for food!" Meow bellowed, unsheathing his own sword before charging at Kim. "I'm going to shove this sword up your ass!" Meow shouted as he swung his sword at Kim, practically slicing the air in half.

Kim quickly unsheathed his ethereal sword and blocked Meow's attack, and swiftly slammed his blade down, only for the older Chinese boy to block it and retreat a few feet away.

As soon as Kim and Meow recovered from their blows, they let out battle cries as they charged, their swords pointing directly at each other as they ran.

As their blades made contact, they began to glow intensely as the two boys tried to push each other back. Neither of the boys was moving an inch at all.

Khan was shocked at what he was seeing. 'What is happening?' Khan thought to himself as he covered his eyes from the light. 'I knew that man was up to something!' Khan thought as he closed his eyes from the bright light. 'But what was it?'

Kim blocked away the shining light with his hand as his enemy did the same. Kim's friends and Meow's followers shielded their eyes as the light blinded them and there was a bright flash. All the boys were thrown back by the force and were knocked unconscious.

Kim and his friends collapsed to the ground as the statue of Nightmare Moon began to glow. There was suddenly a powerful flash of light and then darkness.

Unknown Location...

With a flash, Kim and his friends were sprawled out on the ground in a strange forest. They began to stir as soon as the moon shined down upon them, somehow filling them with strength and power. The boys began regaining their senses and started to get up.

"Ugh... Where the heck are we?" Kim asked with a groan, shaking his head before slowly standing up and looking around.

"Grrrh, I don't know man." Mike replied with a groan, rubbing his head as it ached painfully.

Stephen had somehow recovered and returned to his meditative composure while Khan cursed to himself.

"Oh boy, I don't feel good." Carl said before reaching into his bag and taking out a sandwich and took a bite.

"Carl... how did you - never mind." Eugene sighed, rubbing his temples and readjusted his glasses.

After readjusting themselves, the boys were surprised to find that all their items and armor have become real, even their weapons. They also feel more stronger and faster than they were before.

After a little freak out and some excitement, they decided to set up a camp.

Tyrone and Henry were busy starting a fire while Eric and Sammy were busy looking for fire wood. As soon as the boys were done setting up their camp, they sat around the fire and began discussing about their situation.

"Alright, we were at the convention. And we somehow ended up here." Eugene said, as the others nodded. "Then there was this bright flash..."

"I think it has something to do with that man." Khan replied. "My mother told me to never take anything from strangers. It looks like she's right." Khan added with a shudder as a vision of his mother scolding him appeared in his mind.

"I don't know what happened next. But - " Kim said, he was interrupted when he heard something. "Did you guys hear that?" Kim asked, nervousness in his tone.

The others listened for a while and heard slight rustling coming from the bushes behind them. The others held their breath and got into defensive positions while Mike and Tyrone prepared to attack. They watched carefully as the bushes continued moving.

They were surprised as a brown colored humanoid pegasus mare emerged from the bushes. The mare was cursing silently to herself, wiping off mud and tree leafs off before noticing the group of stunned boys gawking at her.

"Um... hey there." the mare greeted as she waved to the surprised group.

"Aaagh! Zombie!" Carl shrieked like a fat man taking an extremely explosive shit and threw a cheese and mayonnaise sandwich at the bewildered mare. She ducked at the last second as the object hit a tree behind her.

SPLAT!

"Oh fudge, I missed!" Carl exclaimed.

"Eeew, who eats this crud?!" the mare exclaimed in disgust, she was immediately tackled to the ground by Mike and Tyrone. "What the - HELP! I'm being assaulted!"

"Who are you?" Mike interrogated as Tyrone held the struggling mare in his steel grip. "Talk." Mike said as he poked the mare's snout with a stick.

"My name is Storm Hoof! Why are you attacking me?" The mare asked frantically as she tried to struggle out of Tyrone's hold, but Tyrone is far stronger than he was before.

"Where are we?" Mike asked sternly, poking the mare's muzzle again. "Talk."

"Equestria, you're in the Everfree forest." Shockwave replied.

"What color is my underwear?" Mike demanded. Another poke.

"Stop poking me!" The mare complained.

"Answer the question! Bluhblughblughblugh?" Mike replied, crossing his eyes.

"What?" Storm asked in confusion.

"What's two plus two?" Mike asked boldly.

"Huh?" Storm asked again in confusion.

"Alright Tyrone, you can release her now." Mike said. "Four! Two plus two is four!" Mike added, holding up four fingers before rejoining Kim and the others, leaving Storm in a daze.

Tyrone released the pegasus mare as she staggered to her hooves, she felt someone holding her and looked over her shoulder to see Henry smiling.

"Hello, my name is Henry." Henry greeted as he helped the mare regain her balance.

"M- My name is Storm Hoof." Storm replied with a blush.

Getting a closer look at the pegasus mare, Kim began examining her carefully. The mare has brown fur, a black messy mane and both red and orange eyes and some black stripes on her cheeks. What interested Kim is the diamond on her forehead, just like the horses back on his world. Continuing his observation, Kim blushed as he stared at the revealing white tank top the mare was wearing and a torn skirt. Kim could tell the pegasus mare was a soldier of some kind since she has muscles on her.

"Um, what are you doing?" Storm asked, tilting her head. Kim jumped back in surprise before blushing.

"Sorry, I was just examining you. I've never seen something like you before." Kim replied, earning a chuckle from Henry. Clearing his throat, Kim held out his hand. "Hello, my name is Kim."

The mare grabbed Kim's hand and shook it. "Hi, I'm Storm Hoof." Storm replied before releasing Kim's hand before looking around nervously. "Am I your prisoner now?" Storm asked.

Kim's eyes widened in surprise before wildly shaking his head. "Oh no, no, no, no! You're not a prisoner. We're just lost and on guard that's all." Kim replied.

He began to explain the situation him and his friends are in, Storm listening carefully. After listening to Kim's story, she told him that there is a town nearby outside of the Everfree forest.

Noticing a crossbow and what looked a sniper rifle with a bayonet strapped to Storm's back, Kim gave a confused glance to the mare. "Are those your weapons?" Kim asked in curiosity.

"Yup, this is Mr. Snipe and Mr. Bulls Eye." Storm replied happily, gesturing to the ranged weapons on her back.

"So, what were you doing before you stumbled upon our camp?" Henry asked in curiosity.

"I was scouting for Queen Celestia's troops until these Caribou guys grabbed me." Storm explained, a disgusted look on her face. "They wanted to have their way with me, so I just killed them with Mr. Slash and Mr. Sharp Shooter!" Storm added proudly, unsheathing her machete and revolver.

"So Storm Hoof, what happened after that?" Kim asked, eager to know more while the rest of his friends crowded around to listen. Storm looking at him with a deadpan expression before continuing.

"I was hiding from the royal guards and hid in this forest, and this bat pony mare came out of nowhere and scared the crap outta me, leading to where we are now." Storm explained, the sound of the fire burning wood could only be heard while Kim and the others remained silent.

Kim was about to ask Storm why she was hiding from royal guards when Stephen cut him off.

"A bat pony mare, you mean a Thestral, right?" Stephen asked, still in his meditative state. "She's coming right now."

As if on cue, a thestral mare emerged from the bushes, gasping for air before collapsing. Kim and the others instinctively rushed over to her side, while the rest stayed where they are.

The poor mare's dress was ripped as if she was in a struggle, and she had some scratches, probably ran through some thorns in the forest.

Mike drew back when he turned the mare on her back. The others did the same as they tensed up at what they saw.

"Whoa, she's like a freaking vampire!" Henry exclaimed as he pointed at the mare's sharp teeth.

Kim and the others contemplated what to do, they wanted to know if the mare is friendly or hostile but the mare was barely conscious to give them any answers.

"I don't know guys, I kinda find this hot." Lance said as he slowly unzipped his jeans, a huge shit eating grin on his face as he knelted down beside the mare and gently caressed her cheek.

"I don't mind having my hot dog in between those fangs." Lance said as he slowly leaned forward.

"EEEW, LANCE!" Kim and the others exclaimed, blushing and averting their gaze from Lance and the mare as they backed off in disgust.

"You're not wearing underwear, boy!?" Mike shouted in disbelief.

"Come on, man!" Tyrone yelled.

"What? I was just joking!" Lance exclaimed as he held his hands up in defense. Only to realize that he had left his zipper wide open. At that moment Carl was eating a ham sandwich and began choking and coughing when he saw Lance's exposed member.

"Holy shit, Carl! Are you alright?" Peter asked the fat boy in concern.

"It's nothing, I saw another bad weener." Carl replied bitterly, glaring at Lance.

Storm snickered at Carl when the fat boy began coughing. 'That's payback for trying to throw that disgusting sandwich in my face, eugh...' Storm thought to herself with a smirk.

"Ugh..."

Kim and the others turned their attention back to the mare on the ground as she mumbled something about solar guards attacking her village.

"Guards... my sisters..." the mare murmured before going unconscious.

Kim and all his friends felt something spark within them, they suddenly felt a connection to the moon and heard a whisper in the wind. It was beckoning for them to follow it.

"Tyrone, can you carry this mare?" Kim asked, pointing to the unconscious mare on the ground. Tyrone nodded and gently picked the mare up in his arms and stood beside Kim while the others got ready to leave. Carl stood up with the help of Peter while the others packed up their gear before heading out.

"Hey Storm, you wanna join us on an adventure?" Kim asked, looking over his shoulder at the pegasus mare with a smirk. He chuckled to himself when the mare had an excited glimmer in her eyes.

"Oh gods yes! I'd love too!" Storm replied excitedly before loading her rifle.

Soon enough she was walking beside Kim and the others as they headed in the direction where the wind is guiding them.

"So where are we going?" Storm asked Kim.

"We're going to see if we can bring this mare back to where she came, and maybe settle down somewhere safe." Kim replied. He gave Storm a pat on her shoulder before motioning for everyone to move quickly.

Kim and the others stopped for a moment to look up at the night sky and saw their constellations surrounding the full moon as it shined in the sky. The group of boys cheered before getting into a group huddle, Storm watching them in curiosity.

"Alright guys, on the count of three say 'Cosmos Knights, Unite!', then we'll sing 'We are the Cosmo Knights', got it?" Kim asked the others as they all nodded.

"Okay... 1, 2, 3!" Kim shouted as he and the others bobbed at each count, their hands in the circle. Storm watched them as they began to chant.

"Cosmo Knights, Cosmo Knights, Cosmo Knights..." Kim and the others chanted as they bounced in place.

"COSMO KNIGHTS, UNITE!" Kim and his friends shouted together in unison, roaring as they raised their fists to the moon. They began to sing as they waved their fists in the air.

"We are the Cosmo Knights, we are the Cosmo Knights, we are the Cosmo's Knights! HURRAH!"

Kim and the others laughed and cheered as they fist bumped and high fived each other. Storm watching in amusement before rejoining them as they continued walking towards where the stars and the wind are guiding them.

'I could get used to this.' Storm thought to herself with a smile as she walked beside Kim and Henry.

"I wonder what adventures will await us?" Kim asked out loud, his friends nodding in agreement.

The moon shined down upon the armored boys, their new friend and an unconscious thestral mare in tow as they walked off into the moonlight and out of the forest.

All the while, an alicorn mare glared down upon them.
