The Man with the Hidden Past

Random chapter for the few random people who still read! Good for you guys! And for the people who don't read... Nothing. You don't get anything because you're not here to retrieve it.

< Oh fuck. Oh fuck.... How do I fix this. How the fuck do I fix this?! > I thought as my heart started to race. I did the first thing I could think of and put my hands on Luna's wound and put pressure on it to try and slow the bleeding. I looked up at her face and noticed it getting paler by the second.

< Shit, I have no idea how to fix this! Um... I need help. I should still be some-what close to Ponyville. Oh shit, is Rainbow alright? > I thought as my mind tried to wander away from this situation. I shook my head to clear those thoughts and returned my focus to Luna.

< I could probably carry her to Ponyville. But I'm not sure if I could make it in time. And I need to check on Rainbow to see if she's alright too. >

< Fuck, now I'm doubting myself. Ah... forget it. > I thought before I started to slip my hands under Luna. Once I made sure Luna wouldn't fall, I turned around and laid her on my back. I turned around and starting walking in the direction I thought was where my campsite was. I started to get lost in thought about how I was gonna help Luna as I went along.

"Damnit. I need to take my mind off this." I said to myself before I started to think of some songs to try and keep me busy. I quickly found one that I loved. I immediately started to sing it. About half way through the song I spotted my campsite through the trees. I grew a smile as I jogged up to the log I had laid Rainbow against. She wasn't there. My smile disappeared.

"Ok... either Rainbow was taken, Luna had fixed her and she left, or someone came along and helped. Hopefully not the first one." I said before getting back on task. I went over to the bag I had used to carry the objects from the shack and began to go through it. I didn't notice anything remotely useful.

"Damnit!" I yelled in frustration. I didn't have anything at my disposal to help Luna. Unless...

I quickly ran back over to Luna and swiped my hand along her wound as I ran. After I covered my hand in her blood I ran back to my little circle thingy. I managed to finish it, though half of it looked terrible. Hope condition don't matter. I rested my hands on the edge of the circle and willed it to work. After a few second, I saw a small ring of sparks come from the circle and spread to the edges. I kept my hands where they were in case it mattered any. The ring of sparks stopped inches away from my hands. In the center of the ring, another group of sparks grew, but in a ball. The ball grew larger. I looked away to shield my eyes from the light. when I looked back, the light was fading and I saw a wooden cart.

"Good. Now to get to Ponyville." I said as I got up and ran over to the cart. I looked around it to find a spot to hook myself up to it. Needless to say, I didn't find any. I decided not to waste time making any and ran up to the front were I grabbed the posts and lifted them up. I then ran the cart over to Luna and dropped it. I walked over to Luna and carefully lifted her up onto the cart. She murmured or turned her head every once and a while but I decided that ment she was getting better. I ran up to the front of the cart and picked up the posts again. i looked around to find a trail I could use. I didn't find any. But I did notice two sharp nails at the ends of the cart's posts.

"-sigh- I'm not gonna enjoy this." I said before I stabbed them both into my body's sides. I felt a sharp pain and then a strange sliding feeling as the nails punctured my skin and slid through my flesh. I winced at the pain but brushed it off. I prepared for what I was about to do next.

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"

"Huh?" I asked myself as I looked around for the source of the voice. I didn't see anything. I ground a hoof into the dirt as I got prepared for the run through the forest.

"I SAID STOP!"

"Ok, Shut the fuck up imagination! I don't give a fuck about you right now!" I said as I shook my head to see if it would fix the problem.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!"

< Ok... this isn't my imagination. And whatever it is sounds big. Fuck! Can't fight now! Fight later! > I thought before I took off running. I reached the edge of the trees when a large, blue object appeared in my path. I quickly ground to a halt inches away from the beast. I backed up a couple feet to get a better look. It was a large, blue-ish grey ox with big silver like horns. It appeared to be wearing a headset and a had a tie on. And a Silver nose ring. But it had hands and was standing on two legs that ended in hooves. And it looked fucking PISSED.

"Ok. there's only one solution I see here." I said as I put a finger up in the air. The beast looked confused at my action. Which is good, because that way it didn't expect me punching it straight in the face. The beast fell to it's side. I took a quick took at it. It wasn't out cold, dead, or asleep. It's was still alive and well. And more angry than ever. I noticed it getting back up. I figured now was a good time to get the hell out of there and took off running. Did you know that this forest's trees are incredibly weak? Well neither did I until I ran straight through about five of them. I looked behind me to see it running after me. Was it... Smiling?

< No... I know that smile... OH SHIT. IRON WILL! WHAT DOES HE WANT?! >

"COME BACK HERE WITH THE PRINCESS!"

< Oh. I guess he just wants Luna. >

"And why the hell should I?!" I yelled back at him as I continued to run. I could see a clearing ahead and a dirt path running through it.

"Because if you don't, Iron Will is gonna knock ya all the way to the Griffon Kingdom!"

"I actually kinda want to go there... But alright. I'll stop."

"HA! THAT'S WHAT IRON WILL THOUGHT!"

"After you tell be why you want her." I said as I was getting closer to the road.

"Uhh... What?" he said in confusion.

"I said I'd give her to ya after you tell me why you want her." I re-stated as I stopped at the road.

"Uh... Because you had taken injured her and then ran off?" he said as he started to calm down slightly.

"Ok, first off. I wasn't the one that did this. Timber wolves did. I'm just trying to help her right now. And don't you find it kinda strange how I'm a fucking half horse thing?" I asked him.

"A Centaur. The term you're looking for is centaur. Don't you know anything about basic mythology you stupid twit? Now hand over the Princess." He said as if I should have known this. I mean, c'mon! I've only been here for what... a week? A couple days? I have no clue. Plus, I've been killed twice, turned into at least 3 different animals, and I was also a vampire at one point.

"Where ya gonna take her?" I questioned.

"To a hospital. Duh, where else would I take her? She needs urgent medical attention!" He yelled in my face. I raised an eyebrow.

"Hath I rustled thou jimmies?" I asked.

"Uh... No?" he responded, suprised at my random question. He gave the answer I wanted. I raised up on my hind legs and pointed a hoof at him.

"TIS A LIE! THOU JIMMIES ARE INDEED RUSTLED!"

"Iron Will's Jimmies are not rustled! Even though Iron Will has no clue what jimmies are! Now hand over the Princess. This is your last chance!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about. I've been waiting for you to take her the entire time. I was gonna take her to the hospital anyway. Mind if I tag along?" I asked as he finally relized I had taken the bolts out of my sides and laid the cart next to me when I asked him if his jimmies where rustled.

"Uhh... Sure? I guess? But you'll have to prove worthy of following Iron Will's trail of Bravery!"

"It's a fucking dirt path dude. And I, can also remind you of a certain unsatisfied customer of your's that I personally know." I said as I remembered Fluttershy for no reason. Why the hell was she on my mind right now, of all ponies? Oh god. I've gone to long without making a princess insanely mad.

My statement put a dent Iron Will's ego. One that was quickly fixed. "Well come on then! We have to get the Princess to the hospital! And the only one worthy of such an honorable task is none other than Iron Will! Come my strange hallucination! We must go to the hospital and find more of those needles with the strength boosts in them for me! I-I-I mean the Princess! Yeah!" Iron will said before running off with the princess towards Ponyville. Leaving me to slowly shake my head in disappointment.
