Meeting the Wanderer
A Stranger Arrives
Load Full StoryTwilight is awoken to the sound of a ringing clock. Its another beautiful day in Ponyville.
"Oh Spike! Time to wake up!" Said Twilight
The duo went downstairs and performed their daily morning activities: Making breakfast, eating breakfast, organizing the newest books and Spike ready another part of his comic book.
"Looks like we need to buy some groceries," said Twilight.
The duo went to the marketplace, buying food and other things. Twilight and Spike heard someone say their names, causing them to turn around. The rest of the group was there...
"Oh hi girls!" Said Twilight in a happy tone.
...Except Pinkie.
"Um, where is..." Twilight said.
"Don't bother," said Rainbow Dash "When we saw her she was talking about another one of her crazy suprise parties,"
"Dear Pinkie must be in one of her wild escapades," Rarity
"Oh well, the day ain't stopping for her," Twilight said "Lets buy some food!"
The group buys all the ingredients needed to make tonight's dinner, as well as some miscalleneous stuff.
Suddenly, screams could be heard on the other side of town, bordering the Everfree Forest. Twilight and company rush towards the scene and find...
A bipedal alien walks into town, grabbing the attention of everyone. It is clear that he (Twilight assumes) is severely wounded. The creature looks sentient and wears a lot of clothing.
"Oh my..." said Fluttershy
Suddenly, movement in the bushes. An all too familar pony walked out.
"Trixie!?!" Said the Mane 6
"The Great Trixie has all the luck!" The blue unicorn said sarcastically
"Not this time!" RD said
"Rain-"
Rainbow bolted, heading straight for Trixie.
Smack! Within less than a-tenth of a second, the alien slap RD In the left cheek, sending the Pegasus crashing into the ground, hard!
"She is with me," said the Bipedal, in a coarse tone
"RAINBOW!" Fluttershy screamed as she ran towards her friend
The ponies couldn't believe what happened. This being is hiding incredible power.
"You said there is a hospital here?" Said the alien in a stern voice
"Ah, um, Yes!" Trixie pointed the direction
The alien starts walking passed the shocked ponyfolk. None dared stand in its way.
"Geez, this stranger is too powerful for us," said Applejack
"Look at what he did to Rainbow!" Said Rarity
"Wait for me Master!" said Trixie as she catches up to the Alien
"Hey wait!" Said Twilight as she walks alongside the Alien
"Do not disturb the Master!" shouted Trixie, stopping Twilight dead in her tracks
"You will not pester Master with your stupid questions!" Said Trixie
"But-"
"Enough! He only came her to seek medical aid, not to be disturbed by a brat caring about herself!" said Trixie as she escorted her Master towards the Hospital
"Twilight?" said Spike
"Huh? Oh, um, Spike send a-" Twilight unable to form words
"You got it!"
As Spike runs towards the Treehouse, Applejack ask Twilight, "Geez, what do we do Twi?"
"We'll see him as soon as Celestia and Luna arrive. I just hope that things won't get any worse,"
A few minutes later...
"Oh my...." Said a pony
Nurse Redheart is shocked at the state of her new 'patient,' more disturb at the pon-person's wounds than his alien nature. The stranger gave her a bag of coins...
"Show him all the medicine you have," said Trixie, "The master will decide what works for him."
Redheart and the other nurses hurriedly ran and grab as much medicine as they could. The stranger began shifting through the pile of medications and antibiotics. After selecting all he needs, he begins to take them, one after another.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT! No pony-" Said Redheart
"Have you forgotten whom my master is? Not every being in the universe is as weak as my Master or the Great Apprentice Trixie!"
"How long are you staying here?" asked Redheart
"Long enough for me to recover," said the stranger, shifting and moving aroumd the bed to be comfy
The pony staff leave the stranger, Trixie goes towards the front entrance. The strangeness and uninviting vibe ensured that most ponies stay away. Most being the key word.
"Show yourself, I can see you with my eyes closed," said the alien
Pinkie Pie appears in the open, from underneath one of the other patient's bed, shocking the other patients.
"HI MY NAME IS-"
"I do not care," said the alien as he puts his right hand over the pony's mouth, "You are disturbing me. Please go away,"
"But..."
"Go. Away... Now!" said the stranger
Pinkie Pie leaves with sadness in her face. The stranger finally goes to sleep.
Nightime. Luna, the dreamwalker, finds herself stuck experiencing the same nightmare over and over again.
"This cannot be!" Screamed Luna
Luna keeps seeing the same images, like a broken record. Her fall, her defeat by Celestia and then the thousand years of banishment in the moon. The visions keep on repeating after repeating. Worst of all is the voice. The voice with the malevolent tone that keeps on taunting and insulting her...
"Such a stupid animal! Who the fuck wants to live in a place that is always dark!"
"Plants and other living beings need sunlight bitch! Well, your brain is too... underdeveloped to understand common sense!"
"No make it stop! PLEASE!!! NO MORE!!!!"
"What are you gonna do? Cry and complain like a kid for another thousand years? Guess what, LIFE AIN'T FAIR!"
The malevolent laughter, pushed Luna to the edge
"NOOOOOO!!!" Luna Screamed her lungs out
"Noooo..."
"Sister!" Said Celestia
Luna found herself in bed, her sister trying to console her.
"I cannot perform my duties. As soon as I entered the dreamrealm I've been pulled into a nightmare. It was so real..."
"Do you think its the stranger's work Sister?" asked Celestia
"Its too much of a coincidence. What shall we do? The creature is very powerful!" asked Luna
"We will meet the alien in person. We shall ensure that he is not a threat to our dear ponies," said Celestia
Thus the Sister Princesses prepare themselves for tomorrow, for their narrow world is about to end!
