case 1! Memories long past...
Memories long past.... "Time...Time is something that seems to fly by fast but, at the same time it seems to move oh so painfully slow."
'How long…? How long until my fleeting sanity erases me...? How long…?' I ask “myself”. I was bored, tired and sad. The only thing I could do other then interact with "myself" was look at a bush for an unbelievable amount of time.
My name is Andy. Well, I think… That’s what I’m going with. I was taken from my home and thrown into Equestria. A magical land of happy technicolored ponies… Yeah...
'Hehehehehehehe..... ya know kid, the three of us can train right? ' "I" told myself.
When I was about to respond "I" beat me to it. 'Why? So you can hurt him again?!'
All I want to was do something to ignore the constant bickering in my head....wait...I think I hear something…
'Is that...YES those are footsteps!!' I mentally cheered, only for "me" to groan…
'Oohhhaaggh!'
As the sound of hoofs got closer I thought of something I hadn't bothered with before. 'you know, I think I'll give you two name's...' at that point everything seem to slow to a crawl. Then I remember something I had long ago forgotten.
FLASHBACK!!
It was a really good day. The birds were singing and there was game con going on "Andy! C'mon we're gonna be late!" Yelled a girl of the age of 18. She had brown hair and lightly tanned skin. She was wearing a yellow-brown skin-tight suit with a face guard that covered the ears. There was also some shoulder armor and her whole right arm was covered in silver plastic. Along with the suit she had a custom made sheath with a picture of a skull on it. Overall she went to the con as "Jetstream Sam" but dad didn't have time to forge any swords to with our get up .
"Sam wait up!"
My sister just rolled her eyes and sighed. Then she stopped running, turned around and said. "I told you adding real metal would slow you down"
'It's not the metal!’ I had thought I was going as my favorite cyborg Ninja/samurai. Raiden from Metal gear, I did a lot for the costume and wanted it to have an atheistic feel to it.
"We didn't sleep much remember....by the way, how the fuck do you have so much energy?" I ask'd with an annoyed tone. I swear she's almost like hot blooded pinkie…
"Hehheh..........RED BULL SILLYBILLY!!!!" Sam yelled and threw a fist in the air .
I Just looked at her and Deadpanned. 'It's going to be one of these days ain't it...'
When we got to the convention center it was packed, I almost couldn't move through the crowd, there were a ton of cosplayers, and I mean a TON. Looking around I couldn’t help but feel like my life is to change, at some point sam pulls over to… a stand with awesome props, well I didn't know at the time but, that would be the end of my "normal" life, as normal as an adopted little brother could be, I guess.
'There are so many people…! Whoa, thats one epic God of War custom right there and- is that a net warrior from Megaman!? COOL!!!' I thought to myself in giddiness.
As Sammy dragged me to wherever I suddenly had a sense of dread, which is really bad because… Well, let's just say the last time I had the feeling something bad was going to happen and I was let’s just say there was fire, a knife, broken bones and lot's of blood... yeah not the fondest day of my life, to many screams, and too much pain… I grabbed Sam and asked.
"Samantha where are we going?" I spoke with a worried voice, Sam catching onto my impending sense of doom or the fact that I called her Samantha. Sam's eyes were wide as she turned to look at me and got down to my level. It's funny, she is the only person I've ever talked to after that day… and never once did I ever feel this afraid that something was wrong, very wrong.
"...Hey, are you ok? You look a little pale." she asked. I blinked three times. My left eye was burning, not good.
"I've got a bad, bad feeling..." I was scared, I was shaking badly and didn’t know if we were going to die.
She scoffed and replied with sigh. "If you want to leave, then we will. But after we get something, ok?" I hesitantly nodded, and with that done, we went from stall to stall, but only one of them caught our attention. When we got there, well thats when it got interesting, because my eyes were so wide that they could have fallen out at any moment. What I was looking at was THE MOST AWESOME Monsoon I have ever seen! He noticed us and gave a smile that made me tense up a little. I shuddered just a bit, at that moment my big sister spoke. “Yes… talk about predator..." she looked very tense, did she feel that to? Good, that let’s me know that we should run. As I tried just that, my big sis grabbed me and placed me in front of herself, I turned my head back to look at her .
"Your a bigger pussy then me!" Is what I wanted to say, but what came out was the question of my life. "WHY!?" all I got from her was a very panicked laugh.
"Heheh...you're a big boy now, come on!" Sam said pushing me forward. 'Don't panic! Just get something and go!' I thought to myself.
I then heard someone laugh, I looked up and saw the sall's man smile at my shyness (total fear.) and said.
"My, my! What do we have here? Want something boy?" Holy bloody Balbasore! He sounds just like Munson!
An "Eghhh..." Was what he got. I started looking through his wares(What else was I going to do!?!?), I saw something that was way beyond awesome! In fact, it was so awesome, that I completely forgot what I was afraid about! 'WARNING WARNING!!! Metal Gear Galore! Must have Items detected!' I grinned like I was getting a pet cat and went.
"Ohoh! I'll take those six swords, this blade wolf module kit, those seven bodysuits and then Im good!" Big sis stared at me, and said with a smile.
"Oh wow, this is the first time I saw you this excited to buy something since halo 4 came out! Heck, this is the first time you said anything to anyone but me!” At that, the seal's man took notice of my sister looking through his wares, that creepy smile still on his face.
“Well now, what can I get for the lovely lady...?” He asked with a bow.
Sis gave him a nervous smile and said.“Um...I’ll just take this HF blade please.”
Pointing at the sword that looked like… ‘Wait, that’s Jetstreams sword...’ Looking at all the blades I chose they all had something in common they were all from Metal Gear: Rising. After that Sammy payed the man and tried to get out of there, but not before I heard him say.
“Have fun brats!” That's when I felt a chill run down my spine and that’s when we got the hell out there. After some time, I thought it would be a good time to look at the swords, so I reached the cases and asked.
“Sis, can I look at the swords?” To that, all I got was a quick.
“Only if we get to put them on our customs.” As she went to open hers.
THAT was the worst mistake we ever made! As soon as we touched the damn things, I felt like I was having a heart attack. Hell, I was having a heart attack! My only problem with that was Sam looked almost worse for wear (probably was) , she was on the floor coughing up blood, and lot’s of it.
‘Th-this is bad!... We're going.. to.. to...’ Everything was going black fast. The only thing I could do before I was swallowed by darkness was wonder if sammy was going to live through this.
END FLASHBACK
To put the rest in short terms, I was sent to this place and everything went crazy! The Princesses of Equestria, Celestia and Luna, encased me in stone(if you haven’t figured that out…), and now here we are.
‘Man, hope she lived through that…’ I thought in our stone prison .
‘Who?’ “I” asked.
The Irony of that question would have made me laugh if I could, so instead I just answered him and named him
‘Well, Raiden I’m talking about our elder sister.’ Again I would’ve laughed if could’ve.
At that, we heard an internal growl and thought it would a good idea to name the other person in my head.
‘Ok, ok, calm down Miss. Scary, I’ll give you a name. Aah….’ Thinking about a game I once played, I found a name for her i mean at least I think it’s a her. ‘Jack, I’ll name you Jack.’
With that out of the way, I reverted my attention to the growing sounds of other foals, in this case a whole class.
‘This might the day I’ve been looking for!’ I was getting excited that we might get out. ‘It’s time to see if they actually stop to talk about me or not. God, the last time that happened was…….. Wait, that never did happen yet. Damn, no wonder I went insane.’That’s when the teacher said something.
“Well class, this is one of the strangest statues of the Canterlot gardens. Can anypony tell me what it represents?” A couple of hands went up, each one of them trying to get their teacher’s attention.
“Yes scootaloo?” The teacher said pointing at an orange coated Pegasus filly. She had a purple mane that looked so messy and uncapped with so many split ends, I thought I could grab her just by moving my finger through her hair. She wore a red sleeveless shirt, dark tan cargo pants, and black... sneakers? They were meant for hooves, so would sneakers apply?
‘I forgot the one’s who live in this world are Anthro Ponies… meh, still would be cool if I was NOT stone right now!’ I shouted in my head. The ponies looked a bit humanoid in terms of base. Their torso’s were pretty much the same(though I’ve never seen under a females before, so I could be wrong), their arms looked human-ish too other than the fur. Their heads were a bit weird, a combination of snout and mouth. Their legs were another difference I didn’t mind much. They bent like humans, but instead of feet, hooves. Wasn’t that bad, and it wasn’t as creepy as it was at first. I did miss not being the only human.
I then took into account the teacher. She had a purple coat, and a pink/light purple mane that was curled. She wore a white dress shirt under a dark purple vest. Her pants were hard to place, but I guessed they were a silky dark tan dress pants, and black shiny high heels(How does that work? Their hooves!). She looked like the average preschool teacher.
That’s when the orange Pegasus kid finally said.
“He look’s like a ninja….oh! I know it represents stealth!” Once more, I would’ve laughed if I could . ‘God this kid is kindda c-’ That’s the first time I was interrupted in a very long time.
“Close, but no. Does anypony else like to share what they think?” At this, two more hands went up.
‘Stealth huh... not bad.’ This is going to be an interesting few minutes.
‘Wait, that kid had purple hair...is that-’ I’m interrupted once more by another kid with a white coat, pink and purple hued hair, and green eyes. She wore a white tank-top with black jeans. A bracelet with light pink beads loosely hung off her left wrist.
“Um ...hmmm... it looks like a samurai. Is that a wooden sword? Um, does it represent nobility?”
‘Wait what?’ Using my profile vision, I could indeed, see wood.
At this I mentally cheered. ‘Yay!’ Right before their teacher answered her question.
“Yes and no Sweetie.” The filly looked a little down at that.
I think heard jack go. ‘D’aaaaaawww...’ Huh...I was right Jack’s a girl.*Bonk!*
‘OWW! How the hell did she hear that! I'm in a different dimension!? AHEM! Sorry, back to the story!’
“Now, would anypony else like like a crack at it?” The teacher asked and once again a hand went up.
‘Welp, I can guess what's going to happen next but that’s only after they leave and arrive amongst the insanity that is big noisey “D”.’ I said to myself .
“Yes Applebloom what do you think?” The teacher that I can safely assume was named Cheerilee(Nametag) asked. The pony who raised it’s hand was a yellow coated filly with a red mane, and golden eyes. She was wearing a brown T-shirt, short faded blue jeans that was only went a quarter down her legs(which didn’t leave much leg to image). To top it all off, a large pink bow was tied in her hair.
“Hmmm….Ah don’t Know what it is, but Ah get the feelin’ that it’s um.. very ….hopeful... Hope! It represents hope!”before the three kids started fighting over who was right . Cheerilee said something.
“Close, this statue represents Freedom.” I know what you're going to say ‘Well thats Ironic’ right. At that Scootaloo asked a question .
“Wait, what does ‘Freedom’ have to do with stealth?” She asked that with a curious face. Her teacher answered her.
“Well you see, it is said that along time ago, the one that this statue was made after snuck into the old castle and pranked the Princess.” Is what I heard. I really wanted to do that again.
“It also snuck into a diamond dog den and saved many slave’s.” She said with a smile. With that out of the way they continued to the next statue.
‘This is going to be an intense five minutes of trying to get out of Canterlot. Now, if I could just move. Now lets see if we-I mean, I can move.’ As soon as they left, I tried to move. Very slowly *crack* ‘huh, so thats why I’m so slow!’ Not all of the stone had dissolved like I thought, but I didn’t care. I was out…. I WAS OUT! The grin on my face could have cut my own head off.
‘Now, lets get the fuck outta here!/ shall we!’
Now that I think about it those two most likely make my head hurt. “Its time to go…” At the sound of my voice my codec pops up giving me options.
“Huh... wolf’s still alive. that’s good but I need something else.” Going down on my list of options I ‘click’ on the holo looking “Customize” bottion and saw what I currently looked like. Right there on the “screen” (If you can call it that. ) was a boy with an eyepatch, grey cybernetic arms and pants were. I kept all of my Items. Knives, rockits, energy/health, etc. The boy’s hair was currently blond and had clawed feet to help with traction.
“Now, lets see what I can Change” Unlike the game, I can change a body's appearance at least a little bit. The problem is I can’t use this to blend in, this is just used for stats. I know that doesn’t make sense since Raiden’s not part of an RPG but I stopped caring a long time ago and stats can very helpful for a lot of reasons. The body I'm in right now has no actual offensive power at the moment and that means I need to get out of here and fast. The problem, I was tired.
“Now, lets see if I can fix that.” I said to myself as I changed my weapon layout and body type.
‘I need something fast but quiet.’ Looking through my options I found what I was looking for. With that done, I got to choosing my blade. Going with the sword that does the most damage.
Sure it was heavy for a ‘kid’. But the body I picked would change that. (save customization?) ‘yes.’
What was on the ‘screen’ you might ask? It was a man ,white hair ,sunglasses and he was wearing a tux with dress pants and shoes.
“There now lets get the hell out of here.” With that out of the way, we-I ran for two minutes and out of the maze/garden I was in. Did I mention that stats are useful finding what I need on a lot things because it is helpful! Now, I'm in the ‘rich bastards’ part of town so to make my life easier I get to the rauff tops of the upper class Jerks hoping this pisses them off.
‘You know I think it’s a good thing ponies don’t look up.’ I think to myself as I jumped over a group of guards .
A minute later…..
“Awww come on!!” I yelled as I’m running from… the Pegasi guards.
‘Damn you Marphie and you’re laws!!!’ I screamed in my head.
“How the tartarus is that thing so fast!?” One of yelled/asked.
“Fuck you, that’s how!!!” I yelled, turned around gave him the finger and a shit eating grin.
All that got was a frustrated. “Ruuuggaahh!!”
“...Um, maybe intagamissing them isn’t a good-” I didn’t give Rai a chance to finish that sentence as I jumped down into an alleyway and threw a smoke bomb and eased the landing.
“Five points.” I said to myself, I then thought would be a good idea to hide, so I got close to a dumpster and used a box to hide myself.
“Where is that mother bucker!?” Yelled the guy I pissed off a second ago.
The squad of guards just got here and are looking for me. Hope for their sake that they don’t find me.
Sometime later all but one had given up. Dumbass. While he wasn’t looking, I got up, walked behind him, and hit him in the back of the head, it's ok, it was just a love tap he is only out cold, and drooling….
“Eeeww gross!” At that I covered my mouth .
‘What the actual fuck!?’ I yelled in my head, that was not normal, so I asked Jack not to use my mouth to talk.
After laying the guard down, I ran down the alley, leaving that part of town. It was time to look for a way out of this cage. Its nice being able to move, but this city feels like a big cage. Looking around, I see what I was hoping for.
“Heh… I like trains.” Laughing at my own joke that wasn’t funny at all to be honest. I sprinted towards the train station.
Five minutes later……….
I sat in the train, staring at the clouds wondering what to do to pass the time.
“Hmmmm.. what to do, what to do….” Thinking about it, I was in a booth by myself… I decided that I would do something that I haven’t done since going to that bloody convention, sing.
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de1S5gdLXJY]
The song I sang was easy for me to understand, I always wondered why I could understand and sing songs I couldn’t before I arrived here.... I kept singing, then I thought it would be a good idea to sing something else, I picked a song from one of my favorite animes.
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mI_c_R8-Mk&index=30&list=RDde1S5gdLXJY]
At the end of the song I felt a sudden change, energized, hope. I laugh at the fact that, that kid was right. I was hopeful, happy even .
TWO hours later …..
I got out of the train through the back using a scarf I found in the caboose to cover my face as I head into the town .
‘Please let the name not be a pun...’ Looking at the sign that had the name, and I let a quiet groan. The sign read “Ponyville”. Sighing at the unanswered prayer, I walked into town square and looked around. Seeing that there was nopony ‘pink’ around, I walked through town square this was easy.
*Rumble!*
‘Fuck…. I need to eat don’t I?’ As if answering me, my stomach rumbled even more..
*Sigh* “Do I even have a bit on me?” I asked myself as I look in my ‘Inventory’ to my surprise I found out that I had just up to 2,000.
“...Huh…. well thats convenient.” Seeing that I most likely had more then enough I went to the market place.
Looking at different stalls, I looked for what I dearly missed while I was gone.
After a couple of minutes of searching, I found the stall I was looking for.
“Howdy! What can ah do fer ‘ya good sir?” A gruff bass tone voice spoke in a southern accent.
Turning around I saw a Big red stallion with a dirty blond mane…. damn he’s tall. He was about 6.7… I think. I’m not a height measurer. He wore a white and blue checkered dress shirt, faded blue jeans, and brown boots(on his hooves… there has to be a joke somewhere).
“D’aaahhh…. two bushels of apples please…” He smiled and asked.
“What kind da ya want partna?” The big guy seemed nice(and his voice sounded deep, and as if he didn’t talk much).
“Golden delicious please.” I said reaching in to my pocket and pulled out seven bits and asked.
“How much?” I was wondering if the price was low or very high. He looked at me strangely and answered.
“That’ll be three bit’s.” I blinked.
‘THREE? damn these better be good apples.’ I thought to myself. Giving him the bits I grab the apples and left.
Some time buying a guitar and a really long walk latter……
Right in front of me was the place I was going to hide, and live in. The Castle of The Royal Pony Sisters. This is the the place I could relax, and rest (Which are the same things mind you). All I needed to do was find a room to sleep in.
Sometime later, I find myself in one of the towers. Looking through it’s rooms to find someplace to sleep while I was eating one of the apples.
I’ve only eaten half a bushel and had to revert to my child form seeing as staying as in my adult form was somehow draining my energy supply…. and making me hungry. I have no clue how that happened but I don’t like it.
Turning around the corner, it got darker. Using A.R, I look around the hallway. Seeing that the hallway was empty I start looking through the rooms, this went on until I was on of the last floors of the tower right now i’m in front of Her room.
‘Jerk, if it wasn't for me they wouldn’t have beaten that tyrant up north.’ I thought to myself in spite.
‘If it makes you feel better she probably got fat eating cake…’
That made me laugh for a second. With a sigh I opened the door and walked into the dusty old room.
“*Cough* *Cough* God this place needs a ton of cleaning…” I complained.
Looking through cobwebs, I try to make out the room, what I see surprises me greatly.
‘That, isn’t that from Teen Titans...damn didn’t see that one comin’ let’s see... it’s real.. ‘It looked like an exact replica, no it was her mirror no doubt. But why was it here…?’
Going to the mirror I thought it looked Way to dusty...so using the scurf I found earlier I went to clean it. I’m not to smart am I? So what next sorta happened like at the con ...only difference is, instead of someone disappearing, it was the opposite, someone appeared. Why, oh why did I think cleaning it while look at the ceiling was a good idea? Anyway we bonked heads together with my pain receptors on, painful.
-Third POV-
As the next day come's so does the meeting of friends.
