The Man with the Hidden Past

Wow, thanks guys, for just reading it mainly. I may have a good amount of people who don't like this story, but I also have some who do. And just people saying they don't like it only makes me want to make more. Cause guess what. I'm just like that. So deal with it.

Once we got to the village I saw a sign that said, "Welcome to Ponyville."

"So this place is called Ponyville?" I ask Fluttershy.

"Oh yes! It's absolutly wonderful! Theres so much to do!" Fluttershy said, above her usualy wisper

"Oh sorry for being so loud. I'm just kinda excited to show everypony you." She quickly said after.

"So what. I'm like, your pet now? How degrading." I said sarcasticly. I looked at her after that and she seemed shocked by what I said.

"W-what? No! Of course not." she said sheepishly.

"Your a terrible liar Fluttershy." I simply stated.

After that, she just stayed quiet the rest of the way. But then my thumb started to get irratated.

"Shit. I know what that means." I thought. I quickly dug my heels into the ground to stop Fluttershy from dragging me. We came to a quick halt and it made Fluttershy look at me with curiousity.

"Whats wrong? Mr. umm... What was your name?"

"Now's not the time Fluttershy. Something is gonna pop out at us soon. And I don't like it." I said, grabbing the handle of my knife.

"Whats that for?" She asked, noticing my hand on the knife.

"Violence is it resorts to it. And hopfuly not Death." I said with my voice cold as steel.

All she did was gasp. Then what ever it was popped out. I imediately lifted it by its neck and held the knife up to it.

"What are you and what do you want." If voices could kill, my voice would have made the thing explode.

"You're new here so I thought I would through you a party! But then I remebered I didn't know your name! So I went and found you here walking with Fluttershy. But then I saw you stop so I ran over as fast as I could and then you grabbed me by my neck and lifted me in the air and pointed that shiny thing at me! What is that anyway? Its it a flat spoon? Why would somepony need that though. It wouldn't make any sense!" I quickly dropped the thing, grabbing my ears instead.

"Shit. I have no idea why I didn't kill the thing. It's killing me by just talking!"

"Pinkie Pie, I think your hurting his ears." Fluttershy wispered.

"OH MY GOSH! IM SO SORRY! I didn't mean it!" Pinkie Pie said, her coat and mane slightly darker.

"Heh, no worries. I've had worse." I said, a memory forcing its way into my head.

A young Soldier with a Winchester Model 70 with a specialy engraved forestock was looking through the scope at his target. The target saw the scope flash in the sun and opened fire in the area he saw the flash. One of the stray bullets went straight through the scope and into the soldier's right eye. Hearing the soldier yell in pain, he headed in that direction hoping to finish him before he calls for help. When he got there he found a note.

"Nice try stupid. Never let your gaurd down. And have a nice day in Hell." He read aloud. "What's this suppost to mean?" He said, looking up from the letter.

"Its means what it says. Never let your gaurd down." Came the voice of the young soldier, who made an eyepatch from some fabric off his shirt.

Before the target could turn to face the soldier, he already had a 5 inch hunting knife going through his neck.

"Damn. My aim is getting worse. This time I didn't even hit the vertebrae." He said wipeing the blade off on his eyepatch.

"Just a little more blood wount hurt. Besides, I always wanted a glass eye. Those things are cool."

And with that, I was shaken out of my forced flashback.

"Huh? What? What happened?" I said.

"You passed out when you where talking to Pinkie Pie. What was that about anyway?"

"Nothing. Where am I? This isn't the path I was on. And who are you? You don't sound familiar." I said.

"Me? Why I'm the fastest flyer in Equestria! Rainbow Dash!" the rainbow maned pegasus said.

"I see. The name suits you. Your name matches your title and your mane."

I noticed my knife was still in my hand. My knuckles where white from gripping it so hard.

"Yeah... Its stuck in your hoof. Its like somepony cut a whole in it and then glued it in."

"What, my hand? Nah. Its suppost to be like that." I said releasing my grip from the handle. I used my other hand to put it back in its sheath. I looked up from the make shift bed they made for me to notice that there was Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie?, and four others. All staring at me and my hand.

"What. Its just a hand. Nothing special."

The purple unicorn? spoke next. "No, not really just the hand. Its you mainly. What are you exactly?" It said, floating some paper and a quill with her horn.

"Wow, actual magic. Cool I guess." I said with my poker face on. Sadly, its not really my poker face. Its just plain my face.

"Either way, I'm a Human. I was asked a favor from someone named Celestia. She ended up dropping me from above tree level near Fluttershy. After that, you can just ask Fluttershy herself. And let me guess. Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, and AppleJack." I said pointing to each one respectively.

"Well, yes. How did you know?" Twilight asked.

"Fluttershy told me about all her friends." I said looking at Fluttershy. She was hiding behind her mane and blushing.

"Fluttershy, if you don't stop hiding behind your mane I'll cut it off." I said sternly. I never liked it when someone tryed to hide their own face.

She immediately removed her face, but kept the blush. But looked slightly scared now.

"Good. Now keep it that way. It will help you get over your shyness if you can look someone in the face." I said trying to make it sound like I was only trying to help. It seemed to work with all of the ponies there exept for one. A certain orange pony with a Stetson on her head. AppleJack.

I smirked. I could see the had a question in her head. I pointed right at her.

"I know what your thinking." I said.

"How did ya know?" She asked.

"I can see it in your eyes. And I'll even answer it for you. But nobody can answer a question if they arn't asked, now can they?" I said, smirk still on my face.

"Well, yeah, Ah guess yer right. So what exactly is goin' on with yer eye?" She asked.

"What, this old thing? I said, pointing to my right eye.

She slowly shook her head yes.

My smile turned into a wicked grin.

"Well, it looks like I can just show you." I said. And I put my hand behind my head, and smacked the back of my head with enough force to knock the fake eye right at her feet.

As soon as it hit the floor, everyone but Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie fainted. I think. Rainbow Dash looked kinda creeped out, and Pinkie Pie kept trying to do it too. But didn't get very far as she noticed her fainted friends and burst into laughter.

"Glad to see my injuries are amusing." I said, clearly angry that this was taken as a joke.

Rainbow Dash was the only one that caught the anger in my voice though. So she quickly flew over to Pinkie and shoved a hoof in her mouth to try and shut her up.

"Thank you. Now, can you go and get my eye back?" I asked.

She slowly walked over to the eye. She stopped right before it.

"Well? Ya just gonna stand there or something?" I said getting impatient.

She just picked up like it didn't bother her after I said that. "She has quite the bit of pride if all she needs is a little motavation to get her going." I thought as she brought me my eye.

"Thank you. Now then. You have some friends to wake up now. Lets get to work." I said, putting my eye back in place.

"You try shaking them first. Or else I'll go get the ice water." I told Rainbow Dash. She looked like she was thinking of what to do. Then she smiled.

"Nah, go ahead and get the water." She replied.

"She's purposly doing this. Looks like I'll have some fun while I'm at it too." I thought. I saw my rifle leaning against the wall. I pulled back the bolt and noticed the blank was still in there.

"Perfect" I said to myself.

I walked through what looked like a giant tree looking for a kitchen. I opened the door and ducked through it. I noticed the normal stuff in it. I found the sink and a bucket and filled the bucket with water. I walked out of the kitchen while trying to avoid hitting my head and with a bucket of water on my hand. Once I passed my rifle, I quickly picked it up with my other hand.

"Ok, I'm back with the water." I said, setting the bucket on the floor. I then dipped my hand in it, and caught some water in my fingers and flicked it at Rainbow Dash.

"Hey! What was that for?" She asked me.

"Picking the hard way to wake someone up. Your lucky your friends here arn't like me. The last guy that did this to me ended up in a hospital." I simply stated, picking the bucket back up once more. As I walked past each pony, I lightly tipped the bucket to splash water on their faces.

"Apparently water don't wake up ponies. Or they're just faking." I thought. I then grabbed each pony by their tail and pulled them in a circle.

"Wow, how could they not feel that?" I said, suprised that they didn't even make a sound while I was pulling.

"Why exactly are you doing that exactly?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"He's gonna wake them all up at the same time silly!" Pinkie Pie said, coming from somewhere next to me.

"Whoa! Where did you come from?!" I asked, avoiding stepping on one of the ponies' heads from stepping back.

"I was here the entire time silly!" Was her responce.

"No you wheren't. Your lieing, and your quite good at it. But remember this, "A lying man you could trust to never tell the truth, but you could never tell when the honest man chose to lie."

"What's that suppost to mean Mister?" Pinkie asked.

"It means that someone who always lies you can trust to lie, but when someone who's always honest lies, you can never tell." I replied.

"Oh..." Pinkie said. "Well I'll remember it just like you said!"

"Good. Now get away from me unless you want to be deaf."

I opened the bolt on my Winchester to make sure the blank was still in. It was. I then closed the bolt, and pointed it straight at my feet. Which where about in the middle of the circle of ponies I made.

"What are you gonna do?" Rainbow Dash asked, clearly worried.

"Well, If this don't work, I'm gonna make me a hat." I said, sounding quiet serious.

"W-wha... Why would you do that?" Rainbow asked, shocked that I would do that.

"Do you see one on me now? Before I was thinking of making Fluttershy a hat out of a buck, she should be happy I cought her crying when I did. Or else there would be one less buck in this world. And one more hat." I said waiting for her to be quiet so I could fire the blank.

After some silence I decided it was safe to fire my rifle.

-BANG-

"WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY?" Was all I heard after that. After All the ponies settled down, they looked at me for answers.

"What." I said. "I couldn't understand a thing you guys said after I fired my gun."

"So thats what made the noise. But why did you make it do that?" Twilight asked.

"I don't know... Maybe it was because a certain four ponies fainted?" I said. "This one should be smart! She lives in a fucking library for fucks sake! How can she ask such stupid questions?" I though.

"I heard that." I heard in my head.

"Great. Now Celestia's in my head again. GET OUT OF MY HEAD! THAT'S SERIOUSLY CREEPY!" I yelled at nobody particular.

"Celestia's in your head?" Twilight asked.

"No... I'm completly making this up for no reason. What do you think?" I replied, quite annoyed at how her questions where so stupid.

"You don't need to be so mean..." Celestia said.

"Hey, I didn't drop you from above tree level into a forest." I replied.

"Hey! That wasn't my fault."

"Then who's was it? I got some friends in my gun here that I would like to introduce them to." I said with a look of anger on my face.

"Well lucky them. Because I have no idea who did it. The only reason is that I accidentaly messed up where.... to... stop... I'm just gonna stop talking."

"Yeah. Your better off that way. Now. What did you want?" I said, trying to get to the point.

"What? No, I didn't need anything." Celestia said. Obviously trying to sound innocent.

"Yeah, like how I don't need Oxygen to breath." I said. Clearly being sarcastic.

"Ok, fine. I was wondering where you where."

"I'm in Twilight's library. If you want the details get your ass over here and ask Fluttershy." I said. I looked over at her and noticed Fluttershy behind her mane again.

"Damn it Fluttershy! I told you I would cut your mane off it you kept doing that! I'll only warn you one more time!" I yelled.

She quicky moved from out behind her mane.

"Good. Now keep it that way this time. Now then. I can tell you all have questions. And I'll answer them. But first, can someone show me a chair that I can sit in? The ones here look like they would break them if I tryed to sit on one."

Twilight then moved a couch over with her magic. "Will this do?"

"Eh. Looks a bit short, but yeah. It'll do." I said, trying to sit on the couch. My knees went up to my waist. "Fuck. I should have just sat on the floor. This is seriously uncomfortable." I thought.

"So. Who's first?"

Ok, now then. I'm gonna ask this of you guys. Send me a message saying what each character should ask, and I'll ask a friend to pick one or more questions for each character. They can be about anything. Just as long as it isn't just plain stupid or already answered.
