Ponyville Police Department

--Chapter 1--

Travel

It was an early, quiet Sunday morning. A young man named Revan, a new policeman in K-9, was just awakning. Like usually he woke up early, at 6:30 and started preparing for a new day, starting with the morning bath and getting some clothes to wear. Revan doesn’t really care about what he wear until he it doesn’t make him feel like an idiot , so he just grabbed first better T-shirt, pants, underwear and put them on.

Revan is a 23 years old, 1.91m tall man. His hair are white due to a certain doctor's mistake. Before he was born his mother had gone to take a vaccine and said ‘medical genius’ switched syringes of his mum and a blood sample of some guy with albinism. That caused his hair to turn white and his right eye to turn red, while left one was blue. (How he did not notice syringe being red? No idea)

Like every mother in the world would be, his mom was furious, and even though Revan's look was always considered ‘cool and awesome’, she never stopped thinking that this doctor ‘ruined her son's life’.

With isn’t truth at all, since along with his high posture and superior physical strength, that made his look quite intimidating, which helped him get a job in Police. But in her defense, Revan's red eye works about 20% worse than his normal one. And speaking of Police, tomorrow is his first day on road patrol.

Revan walked into the kitchen and was greeted by his dog partner named ‘Mischief’. The dog was German Shepherd with saddle patterns, he was 0,72m tall, which is pretty tall for his race. Mischief despite his name is a very calm dog; that is, calm until Revan is around. When he isn’t, the dog enters into full panic mode and starts barking like insane, bites whatever is around. That problem was so big that after half of training ahead, instructors had enough of dog keeping half of academy awake and asked Revan to take him home; and they didn’t take 'no' for an answer.

Since then bond between these two become stronger, and now they are like a family.

“Hey buddy, wanna eat?” said Revan

*Bark*

“Very well then”

Revan went to the Mischief’s box for food and filled his bowl with dog food and few pieces of dried meat his companion adored so much. Even though Mischief was living with Revan he still was maintained by police so there was no need to buy food from the shop.

With the dog happily eating his food Revan began preparing his own breakfast. Today he decided to make scrambled eggs. He added 4 eggs on the pan and turned the gas on. While eggs were scrambling Revan began preparing mint tea.

Tea was always kind of drink he liked. And he drank it a lot. And when I say ‘a lot’ I mean 'using a mug for beer as a glass' kind of lot. Screw coffee, tea rules!

After eating breakfast Revan went back to his room and turned on his computer. He is starting work tomorrow and he didn’t need to do anything else today, so he could just relax and play something. While 'Windows' was loading with insane speed, Revan turned to his shelf with games and began looking for a game to play. Hmmm… which one shall I chose? Maybe ‘Crysis’? No, I’m not in mood for FPS. Some RPG would be good at the moment.’ Skyrim’ perhaps? Nah, this one will be installing for way too long. Oh, I know! He gripped the box with his favorite game ever – Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic II : The Sith Lord. Hell yeah! Why didn’t I think about it sooner. Revan installed tthe game on the computer's disk and began his 6th game.

Few hours later on Equestrian moon Nightmare Moon was waiting for a chance to escape from her lunar prison.

“One day... only one more day and I shall be free again” began Nightmare. “One day and I will destroy you Celestia, you are going to fall as well as your sun. With your death a new era shall began, ‘The Age of the Night’ will came and  now ponies will appreciate my night. You cannot defeat me this time, you lost control over the elements, they’re as useless, as you are my sister.” Mare on the Moon often talked to herself like that; it’s not like anypony is going to hear anyway.

In just a few hours, stars will allow her to open the portal to Noxus - center of all dimension, and escape. When free, she will be floating free in endless sea of dimensions and spell casted by elements of harmony will vanquish. From there she will be sucked back and will reaper where she was vanquished. Her old castle in the Everfree forest. From there she's going to track down and finally destroy Celestia, then bring eternal night to the land of Equestria.

It took her exactly 273 years, 2 months, 9 days, 16 hours, 21 minutes and 49 seconds to collect enough magic to do this. And she counted every second of it. Every. Single. One. And with each second her hate for Celestia grew, and grew until she couldn’t hate her more.

“One day Celestia. Use it as well as you can because it shall be your last!!!” Nightmare said while reaching to her sisters mind; she was currently sleeping. She may not be in control over dreamscape of ponies below, but she and certain alicorn Princess who banished her to the moon remained bonded. She made sure that those words will rang in Celestia’s mind. She wanted her to feel her hatred, her anger and she wanted her to knew that she cannot do anything to stop her. With that said Nightmare Moon began her final countdown.

Next day Revan woke up a bit earlier than usual, he repeated his morning routine and started preparation for his first day on the road patrol. He made some sandwiches, filled thermos with tea and took snacks for Mischief. He also took his old knife, bowl and phone.

After 1,5 hour he was in a police car with his formal instructor; 54 years old, black haired man, Warren Hanusko. Those two weren’t getting along all that well during the training. Warren always thought that Revan was allowing Mischief for too way much and few times Reven have thought that he tried to make him leave training with dogs and just be a normal police officer.

“How’s he doing?” Asked Warren, breaking the silence

“Hm? You mean Mischief?” Warren nodded. “Well, he’s been really happy since he started living with me. There's still a problem of leaving him alone but he doesn’t try to eat my boots anymore, so I guess we have some progress in that regard.”

“Haha, I bet that was a funny thing to see.”

“No… not so much… a bit… ok, it was…” Revan admitted. As much as angry he was first time when that happened after some time he started considering the image of big dog trying to stick his nose in his boot while laying on another one (one he already finished with) kinda funny.

“How are you feeling about your first patrol?”

“I guess I’m little nervous, but it should pass away with time.”

“It will” assured Warren. “I remember my first patrol, and let me tell you that you're taking it a lot better than I did. My partner thought that I would pass out at some point. But after the first checked car I calmed down. Just let the dog do his job and keep him safe, that’s all.”

Warren is not acting like he did during the course. I though he will start talking about how incompetent I am and that I should stay in the car while he’ll do all work or don’t talk at all. Not to mention the fact that he was just sharing his life stories and that’s something I’ve never expected him to do. Heck, I don’t think anyone from course would expect that from him. Though Revan.

After few moments of silence Warren spoke. “Eh, you know, I’m sorry, kid.”

“Huh? For what?”

“For how I was treating you during the course. It was hard time in my life and I got it out on you, and probably on the others as well. Sorry for that.” Revan was really surprised. That’s something he never expected him to do. Nonetheless Revan is not kind of person to hold grudge against someone for long; like his father told him once ‘True man doesn’t hold grudge for longer than one day, womans do’.

“Well, I don’t see any reason to hold grudge against you. What happened, can’t be changed…Sooo… I guess I forgive you."

“Thanks, kid”

“How long are we going to stay there by the way?"

Warren checked his watch. “We should arrive at 12 AM and we will head back around 4 or 5PM”

The rest of a ride went filled with talks about whatever those two came up with : games, Mischief, why sky is blue, what’s  the meaning of life, how big is possibility of aliens being colorful ponies, the fact that Revan looks like anime character and so on. They arrived at the place and started observing cars. Until 2PM they’ve stopped 5 drivers; four of them got a fine, and checked one track. Mischief was acting calm all the time and did his job well. Like Warren said earlier, once they started Revan started to calm down.

Few minutes after letting the track go they decided it’s about time to get something to eat. Revan prepared a little bowl he took and gave some food to Mischief, then took his sandwiches and began eating while drinking tea from his thermos. Warren had few potatoes and salad. During the ride Warren told Revan that he’s a vegetarian.

“So, why exactly are you a vegetarian, Warren?” Asked Revan and took bite of his sandwich.

"Long time ago, in the galaxy far away, when I was a young kid, I had a really weird nightmare. I was laying on some table and family of cows was eating me. My hands and legs were tied to the table and despite my screams, cows didn’t seem to hear, or simply ignored me. Next day I told my mum that from now on I’m a vegetarian.” Explained Warren and started eating his salad.

“And what? She just allowed you for that?”

“Yeah, why are you surprised?”

“If I had told my mum that I want to be a vegetarian she would probably have call the exorcist. She’s from Poland and polish traditional cooking involves a lot of meat. I never really got much liking to most of it but pretty much every dish I remember had some kind of meat in it.”

“Your Mother is from Poland?

“Yes, It’s that country in the middle of Europe.”

“I know where it is. My great grantfather's dad was from Poland. Can you speak Polish?”

“Pewnie, że tak ty stary dziadzie” Answered Revan with small smug on his face

“And that means?”

“Of course I do you old duffer”

“Ha-ha, very funny. Keep making fun from an old policeman who doesn’t know many languages” Warren said dryly, thou with a little smile on his face

While 2 Police Officers were talking Mischief finished his meal and sensed something. The dog started sniffing and giving Revan signals that he found something.

“Looks like he has something, you finish eating and keep watching the road, I’ll go check it.”

“This is it!” Stars were in the right position. Finally after one thousand years of waiting she could escape. Nightmare began channeling magic collected over the years. Mare began slowly, not wanting excess of energy to vaporize her; which would happen if she chaneled too much magic energy before preparing her body for it. First she had to make sure that opening hole in space will not cause any damage to her surroundings, opening the portal like that could create powerful magic radiations that ware deadly for normal ponies; not for alicorns thou. She created the magic barrier that would reduce radiations around selected spot and began second part.

Nightmare began forming a small rip in space; not bigger than the atom. That took far more magic then the barrier. Once that was done, she came to the hardest part - making the hole bigger. That part took most of her magic reserves, even thou spell she used wasn't complicated; she had to simply push edges of the hole in all directions.It was hard, but worth of the effort. Soon the portal was big enough for her to pass through it. She still had to put much effort into sustaining the hole open. If she did not, it would simply collapsed and closed.

Not wasting any time Nightmare Moon jumped straight into the portal. Once she stopped channeling her magic portal closed within split of a second. Now she was free. Last part of her plan didn’t even require magic so she could save what was left of it. She simply waited until her dimension will pull her back.

That didn’t take long. Before she could even notice she was laying on the floor of her castle. Like she expected it was in ruin. Most of the walls ware covered in ivy, the roof was practically non existing and few columns were collapsed. “Surely, Celestia couldn’t bare living in the place where she lost her ‘dear sister’” Nightmare began laughing manically and began tracking down Celestia. She found her in the small town at north from the palace.

She wanted to teleport there in the instant but something caught her eye. Right next to her laid 2 strange creatures. First one looked like some kind of dog, but was way too big and she couldn't recall any dog with colors like that. Second creature was wearing some kind of dark-blue clothing that covered most of its body and where it wasn’t,  there was bare skin with little hair. Both of them appeared to be asleep or unconscious.

Nightmare thought for a little. “Hm, it can’t be some wild animals, clothing the bland one wares proves that at least this one is sapient. I will have some questions for it later. But for now I shall make sure I won’t be disturbed.” Nightmare put the magic barrier around two creatures and teleported herself to town she spotted before. She saw Celestia in front of her, it looked like she was preparing herself for some speech.

“Hello sister…”

Ravan and Mischief walked through the corn field. Plants were almost fully grown and soon will be ready to collect. The dog led Revan between plants for few minutes until they walked into the clearing created the passing by tractor. Mischief stopped in the middle, looked up at Revan and began barking, signaling they’re in place.

Revan looked around him surprised a little; nothing was there. Why did he lead me here? There’s no way he just took me here for no reason. Something has to be here. Revan began the searching area. He thought there were drugs hidden somewhere, or maybe someone’s blood. Mischief was circling around the small area like he awaited something.

After a minute of that pointless game of hide and seek Revan had enough. “ Ok, no thing’s here. We’re coming back.”

He took his leash and plugged it into dog’s collar. Revan started to walk away but Mischief didn’t allow him to. He started barking and pulled the surprised human back into the clearing.

Before Revan could have begun to yell at him, the portal opened before him. "Da fuck?!". The portal appeared in the exact place Mischief had stopped when they got here. It was also slowly growing bigger.

Revan was looking like dumb at the portal, his mind had problems processing what was happening. That feeling didn’t last long through, as Mischief ran straight into the portal. Revan who still held dog's leash in his hand lose his balance and ended up falling inside the portal.

His vision got blurred by all possible colors passing from all possible directions. Everything was incredibly bright. Revan closed his eyes but that didn’t stop colors from coming. He also started hearing a certain very annoying sound. he could feel an incradible cold around him, but at the same time felt like being melted in the pool of lava. His body began to hurt like more then it ever did. Soon it proved to be too much for him and he passed out.

Once he woke up his eyes still hurt and vision was out of focus. He started  getting up and felt a cold stone under his fingers. Revan's eyes slowly began to get back in the proper shape and he noticed something. He was inside of some strange blue bobble. He said the only thing he had currently in his mind.

“What in the holly fuck just happened?!”
