Chapter 1 – Training and Getting Used to a New World

It was late at night and Tommy had been training in his giant secret room for hours, the whole part of the house was sectioned off from the rest of the house in order to keep anyone or in this case anypony from stumbling across it. He decided to take a breather by practicing his katas. As he did his mind began to wander about his current predicament. He was in a new world with most likely no way to get back. The fact of not being able to go back to earth didn’t seem to terrify him as much as he thought it would. He didn’t have much back on earth. The students that he had grown to call his best friends had graduated and were off to college which he was proud of.

But back home he was alone. Most of his ranger friends were either dead or moved on with their lives. Some of them just straight out refused to talk about or even acknowledge that they were rangers. After seeing the things he had seen during his days as a ranger he couldn’t blame them.

His thoughts moved to Ponyville.

Quite frankly the past few days have been interesting. All of the ponies that he’s met so far have been extremely kind to him. He honestly felt more relaxed here then he did back home.

As he finished his kata he decided not to focus too much on the subject as he walked over to a table where a little crystal was floating.

This was one of his souvenirs from his days at the command center from Zordon himself.

“It’s been years since I last used this…” He said staring at it for a few minutes.

“Now the real training begins.”

“Begin training exercise 101.” Tommy ordered.

Tommy’s words activated the crystal causing it to glow brightly as he took a fighting stance. Beams of light came flying out of the crystal. Standing in front of him were three putty patrollers that all charged at the ex-power ranger.

Tommy gave a battle cry as he did a mid-air backwards spin kick to one of the patroller’s skulls, sending his opponent flying backwards into the wall.

Two of the patrollers managed to grab the man’s arms in an attempt to restrain him only for the both of them to get swift kicks to the stomach causing them to let go.

The same two charged again and unleashed a series of lightning fast strikes. Tommy was blocking the strikes as fast as he could but he couldn’t block all of them as they finally broke through his defenses and pummeled the man with a flurry of strikes that sent him tumbling back.

“Blublublublublu!” The putty patroller that was knocked into the wall leapt up and delivered a flying kick to the man’s face just as he was getting up.

“CHRIST!!!” Tommy shouted in pain as he was sent rolling.

“Can’t you guys learn how to freaking speak after all these years?!” He shouted in anger as he stood back up.

“I forgot how strong you guys were.” He thought as he waited for them to charge him again.

Tommy ducked under a punch and delivered an uppercut to the putty. As the putty stumbled back, he grabbed him and used him as a shield as the two other putties unleashed another flurry of lightning fast strikes. All of which struck their comrade.

The putty in Tommy’s grip dissipated into shadows and returned to the crystal.

The two continued their lightning fast barrage of strikes. Tommy blocked as best as he could until he found an opening. He delivered a backwards spin kick to one of the putties jaw which Tommy rode the momentum of the kick into a leg sweep, knocking the other one to the ground.

He then leapt through the air and landed on the downed enemy, crushing it beneath his feet, making it disperse into nothing.

With amazing speed the last putty patroller lunged at the ex-power ranger. But he managed to get the upper hand and dodge the attack and get behind his opponent.

In one swift motion he put one hand under the putty’s chin and another behind its head and twisted its neck. A loud crack echoed throughout the room as the putty fell to the ground and dispersed into shadowy mist.

Tommy was panting from the training.

“Damn. I forgot how tough those putties were.” The high school teacher grunted as he checked the bruise on his face.

In all his years as a power ranger, he had to admit that the putty patrol was the strongest when it came to small time minions that he’s ever fought. Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd were not like any of the other villains that he and his friends fought. Sure the others were deadly, tough, and ruthless. They had plenty of near death experiences. Unfortunately the other villains had killed many innocent people as well. But Rita and Zedd were the deadliest because they were the most efficient. They made sure all of their minions were strong. Even their foot soldiers the putties were made strong.

Except for that time Zedd thought it was a good idea to put a giant Z on their chests that made them explode into pieces when you hit it. That was a dumb move. Yeah it made them stronger, but at the cost of putting a one hit kill target on them.

Tommy turned heard a strange sound coming from the crystal as it started to glow brighter.

“Power down.” Tommy ordered but the crystal kept glowing brighter and brighter.

“Power down!” Tommy demanded only for five different colored lights to shoot out of the crystal in a bright flash.

As the flash cleared, five very familiar beings stood in front of Tommy. He knew they weren’t real. They were just training programs that the crystal created. But that didn’t help ease Tommy’s anxiety.

______________________________________________________________________________

*1st Person POV – Tommy*

I couldn’t believe it. Standing around me were five people that I cherished but had not seen in years.

My friends… The original Power Rangers. I couldn’t believe it… But I quickly shook off the shock.

“NO! THESE ARE NOT MY FRIENDS!” I shouted mentally.

“You guys may look like my friends but you’re just posers. You’re nothing but illusions meant for training.” I said as I took a fighting stance.

(Start song)

“It’s the Green Ranger! Get him!” The red ranger shouted as he charged me with his power sword.

He slashed at me but I managed to duck and dodge the strikes. It took everything I had to avoid the strikes.

“It’s going to take a lot more than that-”

He cut me off when he slammed his knee into my stomach.

“Good effort.” I gasped before he kicked me into a wall.

I managed to roll out of the way just in time as he stabbed his sword at me. It embedded itself into the wall.

He tried to dislodge his sword from the wall as I tried to leg sweep him only for him to jump over the attack and slam another kick into my chest.

I hate to admit it, but for a training program he was definitely an expert at copying Jason’s style of combat.

I stumbled backwards only to feel something bite into my flesh with a sharp pain.

I turned around to see the blue ranger with a double bladed lance. On both ends of the lance were large three pronged razor sharp spear tips. One of the spear tips was dripping with my blood.

He spun the lance with an expert finesse as it made a whirling sound before he charged me.

I managed to dodge the stabs and slices of the lance. I ducked under a stab and slammed a kick into his head that sent him stumbling backwards.

I saw my chance and grabbed his wrist and flipped him over my shoulder and slammed him into the ground. Causing the lance to clatter to the ground.

I dove for the lance and rolled just in time to dodge a giant power axe. I brought the lance up just in time to block five swift strikes from the wannabe Zack’s axe.

He switched his grip on the power axe and held it like a gun.

“Ah shit.” Was all I could when I realized what he was going to do.

He fired a shot at me just as I rolled out of the way of the blast and charged him and delivered a flurry of strikes with the lance. Halfway through the barrage I split the lance in half and began attacking at blinding speeds. He was not able to block the whole barrage, his defense eventually broke and I struck him full force by the attack sending the fake ranger flying backwards and into the wall.

I leapt at him just as he reached for his axe. Thinking fast I threw one of the halves of the lance, pinning the power axe to the ground. Seeing that he couldn’t get his weapon free he leapt up and charged me.

As he lunged at me I expected him to try and tackle me but he flipped over me and kicked the other halve of the lance out of my hand. We engaged each other in hand to hand combat.

Thankfully these guys weren’t as strong as my real friends were. If these were the real Power Rangers I’d be dead without my powers. Back when I was under Rita’s spell I managed to beat them but that was when I still had my powers.

These guys’ powers were only a fraction of the real thing but they were still deadly.

Unfortunately for me like the others, he was fighting like the ranger he looked like. Zack’s Hip-Hop-Kido was a very unpredictable style which mixed fast strikes, martial arts, and breakdance moves.

He threw a few quick punches that missed but followed it up with a butterfly kick to which I stepped back from just in time. But as he landed he slammed bother hands on the ground and held himself up as he swung his legs around himself that manage to catch my legs and sweep them out from under me and sent me flat on my back.

As he pounced on me, I slammed my foot into his face that sent him flipping backwards only for him land on his hands and spin on them as his legs did a split. His booted foot caught my cheek just as I was getting up. Luckily it was just a glancing blow.

As he leapt at me I dropped kicked him in the face and sent him flying backwards and into the red ranger copy that was running at us with his sword now free. The two tumbled over each other just as the blue ranger came running at me.

He threw a round house kick at me but I caught the kick and threw a kick of my own to his groin that sent him to his knee to which I threw a follow up kick to his helmeted face that sent him to the ground. I was still holding onto his leg to prevent him from getting up and a slammed three rapid kicks to his head followed by a hard stomp. The faker turned to shadows and disappeared.

My victory was short lived as I felt two daggers slash my back. I screamed in pain. When I turned around I saw the yellow ranger holding her power daggers. Her helmet bore resemblance to that of a saber tooth tiger.

“Those cuts were kind of light. The real Trini would have at least sent me to the ground.” I mocked. But to be honest I was just saying it to remind myself that these were not my real friends. Just some lookalikes that the training crystal created when it malfunctioned.

Luckily the cuts weren’t too deep to the point where they would need stitches. She closed the distance between us quickly and slashed at me. I ducked and dodged the strikes and threw five rapid punches to her sternum that seemed to wind her. But she worked through it and slammed a spinning kick to my side where I was slashed by Billy’s lance.

I grunted in pain just as she delivered an uppercut. The yellow ranger quickly leapt away from me. At first I didn’t know why until I heard familiar sound.

*THWACK!*

The sound of an arrow being fired.

I leapt out of the way just in time as I turned to see a copy of the pink ranger.

“Your aims off!” I called out.

That must have made her angry because I could have sworn that I heard her growl as she fired a flurry of arrows at me.

“The real Kimberly was an expert archer that could keep her calm!” I shouted trying to rile her up.

It must have worked because she started to fire faster just as I ran past the red ranger. Unfortunately the pink ranger copycat wasn't watching to see where she was shooting.

The red ranger got hit by a flurry of arrows before he could strike at me with his sword. He turned to shadows and disappeared before he could even hit the ground. I grabbed his power sword from the ground and readied myself. At least she wasn't using her explosive arrows.

I grabbed the metal table that was nearby and flipped it over. The arrows still went through the table.

Right, super powered weapons. I totally forgot about that like a jackass.

I kicked the table at her and it slammed into her smacking her to the wall for a split second. She knocked it away in anger but before she could even fire another arrow I ran and did a flying kick to her head and followed it with a series of rapid strikes. I spin on my heel and gave one final backwards spin kick to her head. She turned became a black shadowy mist and disappeared.

My heart ached at having to do this. I know they weren’t really who they pretended to be. Despite that I really felt like I was hurting my friends. But I had to stay strong.

I turned around just in time to block both the black ranger and yellow ranger’s attacks. The black ranger managed to get his axe back. Their blades clashed against my sword as I dodged, parried, and blocked.

The black ranger came at me again but this time I was ready. Fortunately the real Zack taught me his fighting style of Hip-Hop-Kido. I flipped backwards and slammed a kick into his skull. I then spun stood on my hands and spun around like he did earlier which made me do a spinning split kick. As he was disoriented I lunged forward and slashed him across the stomach. He disappeared like the others.

Now it was just me and the fake Trini.

We circled each other for a few seconds before we charged each other. Our strikes were nothing but blurs. I managed to smack one of her daggers out of her hands but she began to slash even faster. I leapt back and kicked the power axe into the air and grabbed it. I threw it at my opponent. She front flipped through the air over the attack and directly above my head effortlessly. But that was what I was counting on.

I stabbed the sword up into the air above me and in a puff of black shadows the last of my opponents disappeared along with all of their weapons. Thankfully the crystal finally shut off.

(Stop Song)

I stood there. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. I walked out of the room. Why did the crystal malfunction?

I couldn’t help but feel horrible about what happened. It really felt like I was fighting my friends.

“Those weren’t really my friends. My friends were much stronger than that.” I said as I walked out of the room.

It was true. My friends were much stronger than that. If I was really fighting them while they were in ranger form, I would have lost without my powers. I mean our ranger form gives us heightened reflexes along with super strength, speed, and stamina. Then there’s the fact that being the first power rangers we were given the most of Zordon’s power, therefore making us the strongest generation of rangers.

Then there’s the fact that our suits could even protect us from gun fire. Hey, when you’re fighting putty patrollers and super powered monsters, you’re going to need that extra protection. Even then our outfits couldn’t completely protect us from most of their attacks.

I have the scars to prove it.

I closed the door to my secret room and locked it. The door itself was made to look like it was part of the wall but it had the crest of the Dragonzord on it. I walked down the hallway with my footsteps echoing. I came to another door that lead into a storage room that was filled with my supplies. It was filled to the brim with emergency supplies and dooms day supplies. This door was also disguised to look like it was just a piece of the wall. I went through one more door and up a set of stairs and found myself in my personal laboratory. I had fossils laying everywhere in special containers and stuff like that along with tons of the most advanced lab equipment available.

To be honest my secret room was also part of a whole entire secret floor of the house that was below my house and the basement.

I made my way up to the shower, cleaned up and bandaged my wounds which despite being a little deep were not serious and did not need stiches, then I went to bed.

But as I lay in bed I couldn’t help but think back to the fight I had earlier.

“No matter what I do, the past always comes back to haunt me.” I said as I turned over in bed to see a picture of me and my friends all smiling and having a good time together at our favorite hangout during our days in high school, “The Juice Bar”. My memories flowed back to the “good old days” when me and my friends were fighting horrific battles against Rita and Zedd’s monsters. Needless to say, sleep didn’t come easy that night.

*POV - 3rd person*

“Can I see it?”

“No.”

“Please.”

“No.” Tommy groaned.

“I’m sorry I walked in on you, but you can’t just let me catch a little glimpse of it then not show me the whole thing! That thing is huge!” Twilight pleaded.

“No!” Tommy said in annoyance.

“You don’t understand, I have seen one that big before! I need this! I need this satisfaction!” She pleaded as she gave him big puppy dog eyes, her eyes brimming with tears.

“…Fine.” He said as he finally opened the door to his secret laboratory.

“There.” He said with a sigh.

“Oh sweet Celestia! This is everything a girl could ask for and more!” Twilight moaned in a way that sounded very sexual as she ran her hands over the lab equipment. Twilight spent half an hour looking at everything in the lab with awe and astonishment.

“This equipment is far beyond Equestria’s technology. Why do you have this high-tec lab equipment?” She said as she looked at the Dinosaur bones that were everywhere.

“I’m not just a teacher, I’m also a scientist.” He answered to which Twilight immediately turned towards him.

“Really?” She said with genuine excitement.

“Yep. I’ve study many fields of science.” He said with a smile.

“Wow, I hope you don’t mind me asking you more questions.” She said with a smile.

“Not at all. But some other time okay.” He said with a smile.

“Okay.” Twilight smiled.

As they walked back to the living room after locking up the lab room they heard some giggling. They walked into the room where they saw an adorable sight of Tommy’s dog Saban licking Fluttershy’s face as she giggled and pet the German Shepard.

Meanwhile Pinkie Pie was also giggling as she watched DVD on Tommy’s TV as she lay on her stomach as she rested her head on her hands just like a child would do when watching TV. Tommy had no problem with the girls coming over. In fact he was happy to have some company. He told them to make themselves at home. He had no problem with them using his stuff.

He was embarrassed however by what Pinkie Pie was watching on the TV. He remembered his best friend Zack bought it for him and sent it to him in the mail as a present some years back.

There was a letter that came with the DVD’s that was still inside of the DVD case to this day. Twilight just so happened to see the letter in the case and decided to read it.

Hey Tommy,

How’s it going? It’s been a while since we’ve last seen each other. I hope you’re doing alright man. I’m doing alright. Just got a promotion, so things are looking good. You should come by and visit some time. We could go and get some beers together. I know a local bar in town, lots of nice girls there too. Maybe you can finally get a girlfriend.

I heard you’re a teacher now, not bad. Never took you for the teacher type. But hey, that’s cool. I think that’s great that you’re helping the kids. I also heard you were a scientist with as well. Good job man. I’m happy for you.

You’re probably wondering what’s in the package. Well you’re not going to believe it but you’re going to have to take a look at it and see for yourself. They actually made a TV show of it. It’s a kid show I know but I have to admit. It is cool. Sure does bring memories. Both good and bad memories. I hope you enjoy the gift. Merry Christmas.

Your old friend,

• Zack

Twilight was looked at the letter for a moment. When she saw Tommy looking at her she gained a sheepish smile.

“Don’t worry about it.” Tommy said as she handed him the letter which he put away the letter in a safe place.

Tommy turned to the TV and saw what Pinkie Pie was watching just as the next episode began and the theme song of the show began to play.

“Go go power rangers!” Pinkie sang along cutely as the others sat around watching the show out of curiosity.

As the episode ended the girls were smiling.

“That was awesome!” Pinkie and Rainbow Dash shouted.

“That was indeed impressive.” Rarity said with a smile.

“I liked it. It was flashy but fun to watch.” Applejack complimented.

“I like how they helped others.” Fluttershy whispered.

“That was amazing! What is this showed called?” Twilight asked.

“It’s called The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.” Tommy answered with a sigh.

“You’re world has some great works of fiction.” Twilight said.

“I agree. I wish such heroes were real.” Rarity said.

“I like the green ranger! He’s my favorite!” Pinkie said with a big smile to which the girls nodded in agreement as well.

“I want to be there friends! I could so make an awesome pink ranger! I’m naturally pink!” Pinkie smiled.

“I’m sure you could pinkie.” Tommy said with a sincere smile that made pinkie blush.

“Believe it or not, the power rangers were real. That group anyway.” He said.

“What? Really?” Twilight’s attention was instantly on Tommy now.

“Yeah, but what you saw on TV just now was a kids show with actors playing the roles.” He explained.

“What do you mean? And what do you mean by ‘that group’?” She asked.

“Things were much darker in real life. A lot of people died because of the monsters. The rangers did what they could but they couldn’t always save everyone. A lot of innocent civilians died. Men, woman, and children. As time went on there were other ranger groups but the ones you saw on the TV were the most famous ones because they were the original power rangers. The first ones to appear. The other rangers tried to save everyone they could. But unfortunately the rangers wouldn’t always survive.” He said which all of the girls gasped.

“How do you know all of this?” Twilight asked.

“I grew up in Angel Grove. That’s where the first power rangers were at along with the first monster attacks.” He said.

“Does anypony know who the real power rangers were?” Rarity asked.

“Nope. They kept their identities secret. The people you saw on the show were just actors playing them. To this day nobody knows who the power rangers really were. In that group at least. The government kept searching for them for the longest time, trying to find out who they were but the power rangers kept their identities from them no matter how hard they tried.” He said.

“Why didn’t they work with the government? If I were in their place I would have told Princess Celestia and Princess Luna I was a super hero.” Twilight said with a smile.

“Not me.” He said which caught the lavender unicorn off guard.

“Why not? Wouldn’t you want to work with the government?” She asked.

“Nope.” He said with a deadpan expression.

“But why?” Twilight was shocked by his distrust of the government.

“I don’t know how things work here Twilight but in my world the government is corrupted to some degree in each country. Some way more than others. If a teenager or anyone for that matter were to have some type of super human ability like that, they would most likely be hunted down and be weaponized and forced to fight as nothing more than a mere weapon.” Tommy spoke from personal experience. The girls gasped as his explanation.

“Or worse, they would be experimented on.” He added to which all the girls gulped in horror.

“I-I see. W-Were the power rangers ever captured by the government?” Twilight asked shakily.

“Nope. They had quite a few close calls but they were never caught nor were their secret identities found out.” He said with a triumphant smile spreading a across his face.

The girls sighed in relief at hearing this.

“Well I got to go.” Tommy said as he walked over to grab a few documents and put them inside of a folder.

“Where are you going?” Rarity asked.

“To the school house. Miss Cheerilee offered me a job as a teacher and from the looks of it I’m going to be here for a while.” He answered.

“Really? That’s great!” Twilight said with a smile.

“Thanks, well I got to go. Feel free to make yourselves at home while I’m gone.” He said as he opened the door.

“Tommy?” Twilight called.

“Yeah?”

“We’ve been meaning to ask. How did you get those bruises on your face?” She asked with concern.

“Training accident.” Tommy said only for Applejack to narrow her eyes at him. But before she could say anything he walked to the door with the folder in his hand when all of a sudden a knock came at the door.

Tommy opened the door to find a purple reptilian girl with green spines on her head running down her slender back and down her slender tail. The spines on the top of her head were different, they were long and covered her head like long hair, some of it even hung down in her face like normal hair. She wore a black long sleeved shirt that exposed her shoulders and hugged her huge breasts but stopped just above her belly button, exposing her skinny stomach.

Her skinny tummy was a very pale tan with green tint that ran all the way up to her bottom lip. She wore a pair of black jeans that hugged her skinny waist and her wide hips. Her face was buried in a letter that she was reading. He could instantly tell that she was a dragon due to his years of studying the subject. A very beautiful one at that.

“Twilight, a letter from Princess Celestia came.” She said without looking up.

“Thanks Barbara.” Twilight said with a smile as she took the letter.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

*1st Person POV – Barbara*

I found myself staring at a strange creature right in front of me. But I have to admit, he does look good.

This must be the human Twilight was talking about. But before I could say anything, I heard the voice of an angel.

“Barbara darling it’s so good to see you. How is my Barby-warby?” Rarity said with one of her amazing smiles that could always brighten up any day.

“G-Great, Rarity!” I stammered

I mean look at her, big breasts, perfect butt, tiny waist, and baby making hips. But what I love most of all about her is her amazing personality. Sure she can be a drama queen, but hey! Barbara likes hot drama queens!

Twilight took the letter from me and thanked me.

“Hey Barb, would you mind taking Tommy to the school so he can talk to Cheerilee about getting a job at the school?” Twilight asked.

“It’s alright. I know where the school is. I can take care of myself.” I heard a voice say as I turned and saw what I could only guess was the human Twilight was talking about.

But the second I saw him, I couldn’t help but stare at him. He was giving off a strange aura. It feels like I’m standing next to another dragon. A male dragon.

To be fair the only time I’ve ever seen male dragons was when I went to the great dragon migration. They were dicks! Making fun of me because I lived with ponies, one of them even told me I wasn’t a real dragon. But that was just a few of them. I hear most drakes are good and nice, but that time at the dragon migration was a very bad experience for me.

But I couldn’t take my eyes off this guy. It was like he was radiating power…and for some reason… I just couldn’t take my eyes off of him.

“Pleasure to meet you miss…” He said snapping me out of my thoughts.

“Oh…Barbara. It’s nice to meet you.” I answered.

“Pleasure to meet you Barbara. Names Tommy. I’m guessing you’re a dragon. A dragoness to be exact right?” He asked with a smile.

“Yeah, you act like you’ve never seen a dragon before.” I said with confusion.

“Dragons don’t exist in my world… Technically.” He said but I had the feeling that he was hiding something. I was surprised that they don’t have dragons where he’s from.

“Then how did you know that I’m a dragoness?” I asked raising my eyebrow.

“My mom used to read lot of fairy tales about dragons to me when I was a little boy.” He said with a smile.

“Really, what did they say?” I asked with curiosity.

“The ones my mom read to me always portrayed dragons as kind, courageous heroes, strong, and deadly but good hearted.” He said which made me puff out my chest in pride.

“The stories also said female dragons were known for being very beautiful and elegant creatures. I didn’t know they meant to this extent.” He said making my face heat up. I could barely form words. I don’t know who this guy is but I like him.

Not many ponies tell me I’m beautiful. Not to toot my own horn or anything but I like to think I’m quite the looker. Big tits, tiny waist, baby making hips, and a nice bubble butt that can make anypony drool and cream their shorts. But like I said, I don’t like to brag.

“Thanks.” I said with a blush. Surprisingly enough he didn’t seem like he was hitting on me. It seemed like he was being genuinely nice and honest.

But it still made me feel good to know that there are good stallions. It’s too bad for him I’m only into mares. I mean it’s not like I find him attractive or anything. It’s not like I feel a strange energy coming from him that’s making me be attracted to him. B-But that’s crazy! My heart belongs to Rarity and Rarity alone… But if I were in a herd with both of them then I would be in heaven.

Don’t pay attention to that! I was just having random thoughts! Yeah just random thoughts! Twilight and the princess said that he was a powerful being, he must have some crazy unknown power that’s affecting me or something, yeah that’s it!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

3rd person POV

Barbara shook her head and snapped herself out of her thoughts.

“What a minute. What did you mean be dragons ‘technically’ don’t exist?” Barbara asked.

At that moment Tommy had a flashback to his past.

“It’s a long story. Don’t worry about it.” He said to which she just shrugged.

“Anyway, I can take you to the school.” Barbara said with a smile.

“Oh that’s okay, I know where it’s at.” Tommy replied said politely.

“But darling, it simply would not do to let a stallion go un-escorted. Especially one who is new to the town.” Rarity said shocked.

This confused Tommy.

“Besides, it would go against my dragoness code of honor. As a dragon I can’t let that happened.” Barbara said with a proud look as she puffed out her chest.

“Alright, couldn’t hurt. Thanks.” Tommy shrugged.

“Good. Follow me.” Barbara said as they both walked out the door and left for the school.

“I must say for a stallion he is very brave and bold.” Rarity commented.

“Yeah, he doesn’t act like most stallions I’ve ever seen.” Rainbow says.

“Well darling he lives alone without a herd of his own. Without a mare to take care of the poor dear, naturally he has to be independent. I’m still surprised with how much martial arts he knows.” Rarity added.

“I think you’re right on him being some kind of knight, but what gets me is why they would have him doing such a dangerous job if he’s stallion. I mean considering how few stallions there are in the population it’s crazy to risk their lives like that.” Rainbow Dash said to her fashionista friend.

“I agree darling. The gender ratio is bad enough as it is, it’s currently 1 stallion for every 10 mares. Some areas have it so bad that it’s 1 to 20.” Rarity stated with concern.

“He must be suffering from seeing such s-scary things.” Fluttershy added nervously.

“I agree, he must be suffering from some form of mental trauma considering he grew up in a city that was constantly attacked by monsters.” Rarity added as she gently stroked Fluttershy’s mane, calming her down.

“He seems so sad being here all alone by himself.” Pinkie Pie said with a sad look.

“Girls, I got some bad news.” Twilight said with a solemn look.

“What is it sugar cube?” Applejack asked.

“Princess Celestia has been looking into how Tommy got here. From what she said there is no way for him to go back to his world, it’s impossible. The chances of pinpointing his exact world are 1 in infinity. He would most likely be sent to some other world, that’s if he even survived. The fact that he made it here in one piece is beyond me.” She said sadly causing all the girls ears to splay back in sadness.

“The poor dear has been through enough already, he’ll be devastated.” Rarity said.

“Well, we just got to make sure to be there for him and make sure he’s happy.” Pinkie Pie said with a sad yet determined look on her face to which all of the girls nodded in agreement.

“But there’s something I don’t get.” Pinkie said.

“What’s that?” Twilight asked.

“What were the real power rangers like?” The party planner asked.

“That’s a good question. Maybe he has something about it in his library.” Twilight said as she wondered about that herself and made her way up to Tommy’s library.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Angel Grove - 12 years ago

The night sky was a bright orange as the flames of war illuminated the night sky. A squad of Army National Guard soldiers were laying down heavy fire on a group of monsters that were attacking the city.

“Sir, we’re being overrun!” One of the soldiers shouted to the captain.

“Any signs of reinforcements!” The captain shouted over the sounds of gunfire.

“No sir! They’ve been ambushed on 32nd Street!”

“Dammit. This isn’t good. We’re running low on ammo as it is.” The captain growled under his breathe.

The soldiers gunned down the putty patrollers as best as they could. Unfortunately a group of assassin putties came out of nowhere and began cutting down the soldiers that were in their way.

One of the assassin putties leapt through the air at the captain with a sword in his hands ready to cut the man in two.

The army captain pulled out a desert eagle and shot the assassin putty in the skull, splattering its brains all over the place as two others lunged at him only to meet the same fate.

The captain and the other soldiers were all fighting off the putties as best as they could. But the monsters kept coming.

“Sir, we can’t hold out anymore! They’re overwhelming us with their sheer numbers!” The soldier shouted.

Then out of nowhere a six bolts of lightning came crashing down from the sky. Each one a different color that ranged from red, black, blue, yellow, pink, and green.

The multicolored bolts of lightning wiped out a junk of the monsters that were attacking.

Where the bolts of lightning struck, there stood six figures dressed in a strange colorful armor.

The instantly jumped into battle and started killing the monsters that stood in their way.

They were nothing but blurs as they slashed apart their enemies into nothing.

The soldiers couldn’t believe what they were seeing. They had heard about the power rangers but they never imagined that they were like this.

They took down these monsters effortlessly as they slaughtered them like they were nothing. As the last of the monsters fell to the ground dead, the soldiers all looked at the rangers in front of them.

The captain walked up to them cautiously.

“Thanks for the help Power Rangers.” He said to them.

“No problem. We helped out your guys on 32nd street. They should be here any minute with supplies and reinforcements.” The green ranger said.

“Thanks, we really appreciate the help.” The captain said with smile, but that smile quickly fell.

“Unfortunately, the government want us to bring you in for some questioning.” He said with regret. This caused the other rangers to tense up.

“Bullshit. They want our powers.” The green ranger said.

“I don’t doubt it. But I’m not going to bring you guys in. You saved our asses, as far as I’m concerned you guys are heroes in my opinion. Besides, I don’t think we have a chance against you guys.” The captain said.

“Thanks, we really appreciate it and don’t worry, we took care of the rest of the monsters.” The red ranger said.

“Yeah, we saw your giant robot taking down that over grown bastard. Thanks!”

As they became bolts of lightning and teleported away they flew through the sky and ended up at the command center.

As the rangers collapsed into their chairs they heard a voice echo through the command center.

“Excellent work rangers. You have destroyed Rita’s monsters yet again… Unfortunately there were casualties.” The disembodied head known as Zordon said sadly as he looked around the room to see the tired young teenagers exhausted as they pulled off their helmets.

“There’s always people dying… Good people that have never done anything to deserve this.” Zack said solemnly.

“At least we were able to save a lot of people.” Kimberly said though by the look on her face it was obvious that it did not make her or the others feel any better.

Billy was typing away on the command centers super computer that brought up a giant map of the entire city of Angel Grove, California.

“There are no other monsters attacking.” He said with a sigh.

“Thank God.” Trini sighed as she almost passed out from the sheer exhaustion.

“You okay Trini?” Jason asked with concern.

“Yeah, I’m just tired. We’ve been fighting for the past week straight… What are we going to tell our parents? We’ve been missing for seven days according to them.” Trini said as she fought to stay awake.

“Not to mention we’re all banged up pretty badly. They’ll being wanting an answer on that.” Jason said with a sigh as Alpha 5 walked into the room.

“Don’t worry rangers, I’m here to patch you up.” The little android said cheerfully.

“Thanks Alpha.” The rangers said with smiles as the little robot went to work.

“Trini makes a point, we’ve been gone for a while. Everyone is going to wonder where we were.” Tommy said as he ran his fingers through his long hair.

“What do you suggest?” Billy asked as Alpha finished bandaging him up as she went to work on the others.

“We tell them we got caught up in the monster attacks and that we got hurt because of it. We go back home at separate times. If we all go back on the same day everyone will get suspicious.” Tommy added.

“The attack was huge this time, statistically speaking. There are a lot of people who are out there and are still missing. I don’t think anyone will suspect anything if we all go back at the same time.” Billy said.

“I agree but it never hurts to be safe. Besides I don’t think Trini will be able to stay awake much longer, she would have the chance to rest here. It be a good idea if Zack stayed the night too. He’s doesn’t look like he’s doing to good himself either.” Tommy said as he looked to his friends.

“Yeah, sounds like a good idea. You don’t mind us going do you Tommy?” Kimberly asked with concern for her friend.

“Nah, I’m good. I can hold down the fort here. You guys go on ahead.” He said with a tired smile.

“Well… Okay… If you’re really sure.” She said. She looked like she wanted to say something but decided against it.

“Thanks Tommy.” Jason and Billy said.

“Power down.” Jason, Billy, and Kimberly commanded as their power ranger outfits disappeared and they were in their street cloths once more.

“Safe travels rangers.” Zordon said with a smile.

“See you guys at the juice bar.” Jason said before him, Billy, and Kimberly all teleported out of the command center. Tommy just stared blankly off into space.

“You okay?” Zack asked.

“Huh…Oh! Yeah! I’m just tired is all.”

“Soooo… You and Kimberly… What’s going on with that?” Zack asked.

“It’s complicated.” The green ranger answered with a sigh.

“I can tell... You should get some sleep. Trini’s got the right idea.” He said motioning towards the girl in question who was fast asleep as she leaned her chin against her arm only for it to slip and cause her to jump up awake.

“I’m awake!” She shouted.

“Trini, go to bed. You have all been pushing yourselves way past you’re limits. You all need to rest.” Zordon said as Alpha 5 lead the young woman to her room.

Thankfully the command center had personal rooms for everyone. The rooms were quite nice and spacious, Zordon had told them that the rooms were theirs to use as they see fit and that they were more than welcome to use them and the command center at any time. Whether it be for resting, hiding, a personal vacation from their personal lives, or if they ever had an emergency at home that they would need to have a place to stay. The place even had a lounge and a rec room along with a fully stocked kitchen.

With their injuries now fully treated, they all powered down out of their ranger forms and into their street cloths as they went to bed. It helped that Alpha had medical programs on every subject of human medical care downloaded into her thanks to Billy. She was basically multiple doctors and surgeons rolled up into one. But she still recommended that they go to the hospital anyway which made them groan.

As Tommy lay in bed about to drift off to sleep, he heard the intercom to his room turn on. The intercoms linked to all of the rooms so they could talk to one another or even all of the rangers at once.

“Hey Zordon?” A very tired Trini asked over the intercom.

“Yes Trini?” Zordon asked.

“This might be the sleep deprivation talking, but are you a racist?” Trini asked as she lay in her bed.

“What! I most certainly am NOT a racist! What would make you think such a thing?” Zordon said with both shock and concern in his voice.

“I’m Asian and you made me the yellow ranger.” She said with a smirk.

“She’s right. I’m a brother and you made me the black ranger? Is there something you’re not telling me here Zordon?” Zack asked with mock seriousness as they gave Zordon a hard time.

“They make valid points Zordon.” Tommy said as he tried to keep himself from bursting into laughter.

“I am not a racist! Your powers chose you!” Zordon said in panic.

“What’s the next? Tommy becomes the white ranger?” Trini giggled. That was the last straw, the three rangers broke out into uncontrollable laughter.

“I AM NOT A RACIST!!!” Zordon pleaded.

“We know you’re not. We’re just giving you a hard time is all.” Zack said as the laughter died down.

“Goodnight rangers, sleep tight.” Zordon said with a chuckle.

“Goodnight Zordon.” The rangers said before letting sleep take them.

The next day Tommy, Zack, and Trini all went back to their families. The swung by Trini’s first and dropped her off to her family. They were worried sick. They demanded to know why she was missing for so long. Zack and Tommy explained how they were caught up in the most recent monster attack. Seeing her injuries they saw that they were telling the truth. Which lead to their current situation.

“Trini you need to go to the hospital now!” Mrs. Kwan shouted in horror at the sight of her daughter being covered in some very severe injuries. Trini had suffered the worst of the injuries. Goldar managed to get a good hit in on her with his sword, slashing her back lightly. Not deep enough to be life threatening thanks to her armor and powers taking most of the damage but deep enough that it would likely leave a scar.

Alpha’s treatment patched her up but Alpha recommended for her to go to a doctor. It also helped that all of the beds in the command center had special built in healing systems that came from Zordon’s world. They healed you as you lay in them and as you slept. Alien technology, go figure Tommy thought.

“I’m fine momma, I just need to get some sleep.” Trini said tiredly.

“No you are going to the hospital right now young lady! Honey, call an ambulance!” Mr. Kwan said as Mrs. Kwan helped their daughter into the house.

“Thank you boys for helping Trini get home and thank you for saving her from the monsters.” He said to the two teenagers.

“It’s no problem, she saved us as well a few times.” Tommy said.

“She’s our best friend, we wouldn’t let anything happen to her.” Zack added.

“Thanks again for helping her. The whole entire state has been put in a state of emergency. Hundreds of people died, the military was called in. What happened out there?” Mr. Kwan asked with worry.

The two teenagers’ faces instantly turned to ones of sorrow and slight fear.

“W-We saw horrible things out their Mr. Kwan… Horrible things that will haunt us till the day that we die and beyond.” Tommy answered.

“We got lucky, when Trini got hurt we managed to run into a doctor who was running from one of the areas that were being attacked. When we found a place to hide she treated Trini.” Zack lied.

“I’m sorry that this happened to you all. Thankfully the power rangers managed to stop the monster.” Mr. Kwan said.

“Yeah, they managed to save us.” Zack added.

“You boys should go to the hospital as well. Why don’t you let the ambulance take you both to the hospital?” Mr. Kwan asked with concern.

“Nah, it’s okay. We’re fine.” Tommy said.

“Well… If you’re sure.” The parent said unsure.

The two teenagers said their goodbyes as they left and walked for a couple of blocks talking with each other before going their separate ways to their own homes.

Tommy had a few miles before he would reach his house. He liked walking, it gave him time to clear his head.

After an hour of walking alone, the sixteen year old came across two very familiar faces. A very overweight student and a very skinny student from his high school. The two were known as wanna-be bullies that failed at all attempts to be mean. They were actually nice guys once you got to know them. Annoying, but nice.

Their names were Farkas Bulkmeier and Eugene Skullovitch. But everyone knew them by different names.

Bulk and Skull.

They both saw the teenage boy walking by himself looking down. Despite their attempts at being bullies which failed hilariously, they would never kick someone when they were down.

“Hey Tommy!” Bulk said as he walked over to the boy in question followed by his friend Skull.

“Hey there guys. How’s it going?” Tommy said trying to be friendly.

“Everyone’s been looking for you and you’re friends. They said you guys were caught up in the monster attack. The police have been looking for you guys. Jason, Kimberly, and Billy showed up yesterday. You’re parents filed a missing person’s report.” Bulk said with a hint of concern in his voice as he saw blood on Tommy’s signature green sleeveless shirt.

“You okay? You look like you got run over by a train.” Skull said.

“Yeah, it’s true, we were attacked by monsters… I rather not talk about it guys.” He said with a sigh.

“O-Oh okay...” Bulk and Skull said. Normally they would have a witty comeback or something like that but they didn’t. They could tell that Tommy had been put through the ringer.

“How are you guys doing on your investigation on finding out the power rangers identities?” The green ranger asked.

“We’re close! I can feel it!” Bulk said.

“Yeah, nothing gets by us!” Skull added.

“Well, I’m sure you guys will find out who they are eventually.” Tommy lied with a smile as he patted Bulk and Skull on the back before walking off down the street.

“Dammit, the cops are looking for us.” The ranger said as he began to think about everything that happened. After a few hours he finally came up on his house.

When he entered his home he saw his mother sitting on the couch with her face in her hands, sobbing heavily. His dad was hugging and comforting her as best as he could.

His parents heard the sound of the door closing and quickly turned to see their son standing there covered in bruises, blood on his shirt, and even a black eye.

They ran to him and hugged him tightly.

They both sobbed uncontrollably as they hugged their son tightly.

“Where were you?! You’re friends said that you all got caught up in the monster attack?!” His mom sobbed.

“We’ve been looking everywhere for you! I’ve had everyone at the precinct looking for you!” His father said with a hint of anger but with his voice was filled with worry.

“I’ve been ducking and dodging monsters with the others… Trini got hurt really badly, but we got lucky and ran into a doctor along the way. We got separated along the way as we made our way back.” He said tiredly.

“Your friends made it back but we need to get you to the hospital.” His mother panicked.

Tommy protested but it did nothing. He was taken to the hospital and stayed an entire week in the hospital due to his injuries. Ironically he was put in the same room as Trini. At least he had a good friend to talk to.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

“I must say this is very impressive Mr. Oliver.” Ms. Cheerilee said as she examined his resume that he made the previous day.

Even though his degrees were from another world, Ms. Cheerilee stated that they should be fine. Sending a copy to the Board of Equestria’s Education was all she needed to validate it. The board had a special spell that could verify if a degree was real or not. It didn’t matter where it was from, as long as the owner of the diploma actually worked for the diploma. Luckily she had a gem of her own that contained the spell that verified the man’s documents.

“Thanks.” He said.

“How many martial arts do you know?” Barbara said as she too looked at the resume and documents.

“Quite a bit.” He smiled sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head.

“What sports or clubs do the kids have?” He asked.

“None, we’re such a small school that we don’t have the funding for it.” Cheerilee sighed.

“Well, believe it or not I used to teach martial arts back at Reefside. It was something I did to help the kids out. It kept a lot of them out of trouble. I wouldn’t mind teaching the kids martial arts.” He said with a smile.

“You’d really do that? Oh the children would love that!” The mare asked with excitement.

“Sure. I’d be happy to teach you as well.” Tommy said with a smile.

“W-What? I’m not really much of a fighter.” She said with a blush.

“It never hurts for a young lady to know how to defend yourself.” He said kindly.

“W-Well, I guess I could give it a try.” She said with embarrassment.

Miss Cheerilee asked Tommy how the educational system worked where he was from. Tommy went into a quick explanation on how the United States educational system works. Tommy explained that there were flaws with it but overall it was pretty good. He went on to explain the curriculums that he taught.

“That’s amazing, hardly anypony learns algebra before they reach college. It’s usually something that only colleges teach due to it being so advance.” She said, surprised at how advanced the teaching methods of earth were.

“If you can teach the foals that, it could give them better opportunities.” She said.

“I’d be more than happy to teach them.” Tommy answered.

“That would be wonderful!” She said with a smile.

“So does this mean that I got the job?” Tommy asked.

“You got the job the second you walked in.” She giggled.

“Thank you Ms. Cheerilee.” He said with a smile as he reached out to shake her hand only for her to pull him into a hug. Despite being here for only a short amount of time. Tommy could definitely see that ponies were more touchy feely than humans.

He returned the hug to which she smiled.

“Just call me Cheerilee.” She said with a smile.

“Alright, then call me Tommy.” He smiled as they both break the hug.

“I have to ask, are there any special cases with the students that I should know about.” He asked.

“Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon like to bully others, Snips is a little slow but the doctors say he’ll grow out of it thanks to magic therapy. But for now he has some trouble with his class work. Snips is a very sweet colt, he just needs a little help. Thankfully he has a good friend like Snails to help him out.” She said with a sigh.

“Well at least he’s going to grow up normal. Where I’m from there is no way to fix something like that. If an individual is born mentally handicapped. It’s usually for life.” He said with a sad sigh to which the mare and dragoness frown.

“Sounds rough.” Barbara said with a sad tone to her voice.

“It is.”

“But I should have no problem with helping him. I have dealt with situations like this before.” He added.

“Really? Like what?” Barbara asked as she started to get into the conversation.

“I’ve dealt with suicidal teens, students who were being abused by their parents, students who were homeless, addicted to drugs, pregnant teens, even students who were were sexually abused.” He explained.

Cheerilee and Barbara had disturbed expressions.

“My world is a tough place to live. But I like to think that the good out ways the bad by a lot.” He said which seemed to calm the two down.

“Sorry about that, I’ve never really heard things like that happening. Not even in the big cities like Canterlot.” Cheerilee said regaining her composure.

“I’m glad that this world is better in that area than mine.” He said.

“I hope the kids won’t be put off by my appearance or me technically being an alien.” He added with worry.

“Oh don’t worry about that. I’m sure the children will love you.” She said with a kind laugh.

“That’s good.” He smiled.

“Besides, the kids will love having a living breathing mythological creature teaching them.” She smiled.

“What do you mean?” The man asked with confusion.

“Well, humans are considered creatures of legend and ancient mythology. Quite frankly it feels very surreal just to be talking to you like this.” She explained.

“Really? What are the myths surrounding humans?” He asked out of curiosity.

“They say if you get a lock of human hair you’ll have eternal luck. Many believe that if a human appears it’s a good omen. Others say that humans are mystical creatures that can have immense power beyond even the princesses.” She said.

“But the most common ones are that humans are good luck. They have special coins that are very valuable that they carry on them all the time or are storing way. But the most popular one is that if you fall in love with a human then you have an amazing life or something like that.” She explained.

“Really, it sounds like everyone thinks I’m a leprechaun or something.” He chuckled, causing Cheerilee and Barbara to laugh as well.

“I don’t know anything about the other stuff but these are the only coins I have on me.” He said as he pulled out a few pennies, quarters, nickels, and dimes.

Cheerilee and Barbara’s mouths dropped when they saw the coins.

“What? Was it something I said?” He asked.

“What are those coins made out of?” Barbara asked.

“Mostly copper. Some trace amounts of nickel in them as well. Why?” He asked to which the two females looked at him like he was crazy.

“Copper is extremely rare in Equestria. Equestria’s natural deposits are so small that it’s not allowed to be exported. What little that is mined is used for constructing technology. I mean there are substitutes but copper yields better results. It’s kind of the same story with nickel and stainless steel.” Miss Cheerilee said.

“How valuable is the amount I have right here?” He asked.

“Enough that one of those coins could put you up in a very fancy hotel in canterlot’s noble district for a whole month with room service and everything and you’d still have some left over.” Barbara said in awe.

Tommy thought for a moment how his cousin would always make fun of him for always collecting whatever random coins he found ever since he was a kid. Tommy had a room filled with jars and jars of coins that lined shelves that lined the walls. He liked to collect coins, it was something his grandpa and him would do when he was little. Then there was also the fact that Tommy believed in saving money.

“Who’s laughing now cousin.” He thought smugly.

“Here.” He said as he handed the teacher and the dragoness a few coins each.

“What’s this for?” They asked surprised.

“I can spare a few.”

“I can’t accept this. This is too much.” Cheerilee said.

“Same here.” Barb said as they handed the pennies back to him.

“Don’t worry about it I got plenty of more. Use it on what you want. Besides, where I’m from a few pennies are worth nothing really.” He said.

“Wow, I guess not all of the myths are false. But it wouldn’t feel right if I used this on myself so I’ll use it on fixing up the school.” Cheerilee said.

“I understand.”

“Thank you.” The teacher said.

“Thanks.” Barb said.

“No problem.” He said.

The three of them talked a little more. Tommy liked how Cheerilee was a real down to earth mare that loved her students and would do anything to help them out.

After a while Tommy and Barbara said their goodbyes and made their way back to the man’s house.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

*1st person POV*

I entered my home with Barbara. I was happy, tomorrow would be my first day of teaching in this world.

The second I entered I saw two very tall beings. One was a pure white pony with both a horn and wings and the other one was a midnight blue pony that also had a horn and a pair of wings who was tall but slightly smaller than the white one.

I read about these type of creatures before, I think they are called alicorns.

The midnight blue one was watching Sailor Moon on the TV as she had a giddy look on her face as Pinkie Pie sat next to her was talking to her about the show. The two seemed to get along very well.

I turned my attention to the white one who was talking to Twilight. It seemed no one had noticed me and Barbara walk in.

“Hm… It seems that he comes from an interesting world. These power rangers are heroes. It says that they have saved the lives of billions.” The white one said as they looked at an encyclopedia from my library. She seemed astonished by earth’s population.

“I must say this human’s world is very interesting, its way more advance than ours.” The white alicorn added as she looked at an entry on technology.

“I know right!” Twilight said.

“I still don’t understand though how a creature of legend such as a human is here and exists.” The white alicorn added.

“As long as no one tries to dissect me and make me their pet then I’m fine with being considered a mythological creature.” I said to which they both jumped at finally realizing my presence.

“Tommy!” Twilight said as she jumped up surprised.

“Hey Twilight, doing some research?” I asked knowing full well that was exactly that she was doing. Considering she’s the bookworm type, that doesn’t come as a surprise to me.

“Yes, sorry about that. You startled me. How did things go over at the school house?” She asked.

“Great. I start tomorrow.” I said with a smile.

“That’s great!” She said with a smile.

“Thanks. Who’s your two new friends?” I gestured to the two alicorns.

“I am Princess Celestia, Princess of the sun and this is my sister Princess Luna. Princess of the Moon.” She said.

I found it ironic that a moon princess was watching Sailor Moon.

“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you Tommy Oliver.” Celestia said as she held out her hand.

“Likewise.” I shook her hand.

“The pleasure is also ours as well, human known a Tommy Oliver!” Luna said as she shook my hand as well.

“Luna, your voice is getting loud again.” Celestia said in a motherly tone to her sister.

“W-We-I am very sorry.” She said with a blush.

“It’s okay, I’m already a little deaf as is. If anything I was able to hear you better.” I said with a smile.

Explosions caused by evil space monsters will cause deafness children, especially when said explosion goes off right next to your head. That’s my PSA of the day ladies and gentlemen.

“You have hearing problems? My apologies. Allow me to help you with that.” Celestia said as her horn started to glow a golden yellow.

I felt my ears pop and my hearing fully return.

I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t have any ringing in my ears anymore.

“T-Thanks.” I said not knowing what else to say to her.

“Think nothing of it.” She said.

At that moment a thought came to me. A harmless prank that came to my mind that involved one of the legends of humans that Cheerilee told me earlier. Also, it was a very good way to thank her and her sister.

“Because you helped me out princess, I’d like to show you my appreciation.” I told her with a smile.

“Oh there is no need to Mr. Oliver.” She said.

“I insist and please, call me Tommy. I’ll be right back.” I said as I went to my coin collection room.

None of them followed me thankfully. The girls never found all of the rooms in my house. They must of missed them by accident or something.

I walked into the room that was filled with shelves that were filled with jars that lined the walls. Each jar was filled to the brim with coins. I know what you’re thinking. Why do I have so many regular coins in one room? I also collect vintage coins that are across the room in a set of special draws. But when I was a kid my grandpa got me into to collecting coins which taught me how to save up and that stuff.

Over the years I just kept saving up these coins and now I have a whole room full of them. Also, the other reason why I saved up all of these coins is due to an OCD like habit.

I grabbed one of the smaller jars, a mason jar filled with quarters, pennies, nickels, and dimes and walked out of the room and locked it behind me. The only way to get into that room was with the code for the keypad.

As I walked back to the living room I passed by a few other rooms before making it to the living room.

I sat the mason jar on the table. I decided to put on a little act.

“I do not do this for many, but because you healed me and your subjects have helped me ever since I got here, you have all won my favor!” I said trying to sound mystical and ominous.

Both of the Princesses along with the girls all looked at me with wide eyed curiosity and excitement. Barbara was laughing at my act.

I opened the jar and handed the girls some of the coins. Their eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their heads when they saw the coins.

I then handed the mason jar to Celestia and Luna.

“These are my peoples’ sacred coins!” I said dramatically.

“R-Really?” The two alicorns asked.

“Na, I’m just messing with you, there’s nothing sacred about them. Those just some coins from my world.” I told them.

“These are human coins?” Luna said as she looked at the coins and gasped.

“These are practically pure copper!” Celestia gawked.

“So the legends are true! Humans have special coins that they carry with them!” Twilight gasped as she looked at the coins I gave her.

“Sister, this jar will pay off our national debt and then some!” Luna said.

“Tommy, why are you giving this to us?” Rarity asked as she looked at the coins in her hands.

“Simple, you girls have helped me out ever since I got here. I can’t repay you enough.” I told the girls. They went out of their way to help me, an alien they know nothing about. It was the least I could do.

They tried to give them back to me but I told them it was alright. They kept protesting but eventually they saw that I was very stubborn and there was no way that I was going to take the coins back. So in the end they kept the coins.

“Why give this to us?” Celestia asked me.

“Consider it a peace offering or something. Like your sister said. You could use it to pay off your country’s national debt or something along those lines.” I told her to which they both smiled. Quite frankly I was surprised that the pocket change I had been collecting over the years was now worth a fortune.

“But Tommy these are way too valuable! We can’t accept these!” Fluttershy said slightly above a whisper. The other girls nodded in agreement.

“Consider it a gift. Besides, I have plenty of those where that came from.” I told her.

Everyone in the room went wide eyed at that.

“What?” I asked confused.

“You have such riches lying around your home yet you have no protection!” Luna panicked.

“Trust me, I have a means for protection.” I told her.

“But a stallion that lives on his own without a herd, I find it hard to believe that you could defend yourself.” Luna said.

“Luna, remember what Twilight wrote in her letters about Mr. Oliver?” her sister said.

“…Point taken.” She replied with a blush.

“What did you mean by a herd? And what does me being a guy have to do with anything?” I asked her.

“Stallions are quite rare. The number of mares to stallions’ ratio is 10:1 in most places, but in the places that have it worse are 20:1.” Celestia said.

“Are you saying that males are basically an endangered species here?”

“I wouldn’t put it that way but male births are kind of rare. So yes, in away males are an endangered species.” Celestia explained.

That would explain why I saw a lot of mares and hardly any stallions outside when I went to see Miss Cheerilee.

Celestia then explained how mares will often share a stallion so they can have a chance at a relationship. They form a herd and love the stallion as well as each other. They live together and form a tight knit family and have babies that they all love and take care of as if they were their own.

Basically it came down to this:

1. Approximately 90% of the mares in Equestria are bisexual while the remaining 10% are either heterosexual or homosexual.

2. Mares outnumber stallions 10 to 1.

3. Equestria was a Matriarchy, a female dominant society.

4. Interspecies relationships were common and accepted, therefore making them legal.

5. Some, if not all gender roles were switched.

6. Due to the lack of stallions herds are formed making polygamy legal and widely practiced. A herd comprised of one stallion and 2 or more mares. The mares all share, protect, and love the stallion. The mares not only are able to love and share the stallion, they are able to love their other herd mates too. Also, in every herd there was a lead mare who was in charge of the herd and a second mare who was second in command. While monogamy was legal and accepted, it was rarely practiced.

I felt like the world was spinning around me at hearing this. I had no idea how to feel about this.

The only thing that I can think of right now is that somewhere out there is some guy out there in an alternate universe who is dealing with the same exact news as I am… And for some strange reason he is saying ‘Oro’.

“Are you okay?” The sun princess asked.

“Yeah, it’s just things are much different where I’m from.”

“How so?” She asked.

I explained how the gender ratio is 50:50 and that it was a male dominant culture in most countries on earth and that most relationships were monogamist.

“I understand how that can be jarring to you. I must say that I am rather surprised that your world has so many males. But don’t worry, the elements of harmony as well as me and my sister shall help you adjust to this world.” She said in a motherly tone.

“Thanks…It’s just overwhelming to hear is all… So… Any particular reason why two princesses are visiting me in my home. Not that I don’t enjoy your company.” I said changing the subject.

“When you came into this world we felt a very powerful presence. A powerful presence that came from you.” She said.

“…I see.” I answered, waiting to see what she would say. I did not like how the conversation was going so I was going to play this one by ear.

“I’m kind of confused on why you would sense a powerful presence coming from me, I’m just a high school teacher.” I explained.

“As well as a scientist and a master martial artist of many exotic fighting styles.” She said as we now all sat in the living room.

“My little ponies believe that you are some type of knight. I must say that I am very interested in what type of cutie mark you have with so many talents.” She said with a smile that showed she meant no ill will towards me.

“I’ve been telling them that I am not a knight.” I sighed.

“Yet you have bruises and scrapes all over.” She said with concern.

“Training accident.” I said trying to move on from the subject.

“And what’s a cutie mark?” I asked.

“It’s a special symbol that appears on a pony’s flanks and shoulders that shows their special talent in life, they get it when they find their talent. What cutie mark do you have?” Rarity asked.

“I don’t have one, humans don’t have cutie marks. We have tattoos that we can get if we want. It’s basically a type of art that you have put onto your body permanently. Many get them just to get them while others get them for personal reasons. The process requires you to basically have a needle stab you thousands of times in order to get the ink under your skin.” I told them to which they seemed to cringe at the process.

“Then how do you find out what your special talent is?” Rarity asked.

“We don’t, we pretty much try to find what we’re good at and hope it works out for the best. Most just pick a line of work they like and try to get that line of work. Besides, humans have lots of talents. You just pick one and work to hone your skills at it.” I explained.

They all seemed very impressed.

“Twilight said that you mentioned that you and you’re friends were part of a group similar to the elements of harmony.” Luna stated with a smile.

“You never did tell me about that!” Twilight said in an upset tone.

Everyone looked at me expectantly.

“Why are you all so determined to know about this?” I asked curiously.

“Because if you were part of a group like that, then that means you’ve done great things to help out others and protect them!” Pinkie chirped happily.

“That is true, I sense great power coming from you, as well as great good coming from you.” Celestia said.

“Well, you really want to know?” I asked.

“Yes.” They all answered.

“You sure you want to know?” I added.

“Yes!” They answered a little louder with excitement.

“Are you sure you’re sure?” I asked again as a smirk spread across my face.

“Yes!!!” The six mares said excitedly.

“It’s… a secret!” I said to which the girls looked upset but I couldn’t help but laugh at my own dumb joke.

“Sorry ladies, it’s just a very personal subject. But understand I would never harm anyone unless it was in self-defense or in the defense of others. I can tell you’re asking me these questions princess to see if I’m a threat to your subjects. I can understand that. But understand I mean no harm to anyone. I come in peace as cliché as that sound.” I said.

“And for the record the group me and my friends were a part was just a group that did volunteer community service. We helped out the community whenever we could.” Technically I was not lying, I just left out the part of fighting monsters. Twilight eyed me suspiciously.

“I know that you are good Mr. Oliver. Twilight has sent me plenty of letters telling us how you’ve been ever since you got here. Especially how you saved Rarity’s baby sister, Sweetie Belle. For that I thank you and I respect your decision to keeping certain parts of your life to yourself.” Celestia said.

“Tis true. Thou were very brave. The nature of this visit is simply to get to know you. Tis not every day that a mythical creature appears.” Luna said.

“Thanks, but I was just doing what was right.” I told her.

“I overheard you saying that you got a job at the school house?” The princess of the sun asked.

“Correct. I’ll be starting tomorrow at the school house.” I told her.

“With the coins you have I must say that there would be no need for you to work. You could live a life of luxury off of the money from those.” She said.

“Teachings my passion. I like doing things for the kids.” She seemed to smile brightly at this.

“I’m glad to hear that. Twilight has told me that your world is much more advanced than ours. By teaching the young students at the school you’ll be giving them brighter futures with your other worldly knowledge.” She added.

“Children are the future. We need to make sure that they have the best opportunities to follow their dreams.” I replied.

Everyone smiled at this.

“We have to ask, how does one acquire so many weapons?” Luna asked.

“We’re I’m from weapons such as swords and spears are considered ancient weapons that are no longer used in wars. They are only used for ceremonial purpose. But most just like to collect them. You can find them at flea markets or weapons shop.” I told her.

“What weapons do humans use if they no longer use swords or similar weapons?” Celestia asked.

“We use guns and missiles. Soldier’s still carry around combat knives for close quarters combat but we mainly use fire arms or explosives.” I told her.

“What are guns and firearms?” Twilight asked.

I explained what guns and missiles and the like were and what damage they could do.

The girls cringed at my explanation.

“T-They sound scary.” Fluttershy said nervously.

“They can be… But the worst weapons got to be the nuclear bombs.”

“W-What’s that?” Fluttershy asked me shakily.

“It’s basically a weapon that can wipe out a gigantic city filled with millions of people, killing them all in the blink of an eye and leveling the city and wiping it off the face of the earth. To make matters even worse, it makes the area that it hits uninhabitable for millions of years due to radiation.” I told the girls.

They had looks of horror on their faces.

“Why would such a weapon exist?!” Celestia gasped.

“For war." I said simply

The girls were greatly disturbed by my answer.

"But lets move on to another subject." I said.

They all quickly agreed to the subject change, I think if I gave any more details they would have lost their lunch.

“Would ya say human kind is good or bad?” Applejack asked.

“I’d say we’re good, but we have a lot of problems that we need to work on before we can live in a world of peace and harmony like this world.” I answered truthfully.

“Well that is good to hear that human kind is at least trying to work on their problems.” Celesita answered this time.

“Twilight has told me about how your world combats monsters and how you grew up at the center point of it all.” She stated.

“That’s true, it happened when I was in high school. I live with the memories of those attacks to this day.” I said as Saban came up to me whimpering to which I began to pet her.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to bring up such a horrible subject.” The sun princess said apologetically.

“It’s alright.”

“Do you suffer from any psychological illness due to these events?” Luna asked.

“LUNA!” Celestia scolded her sister as the girls gasped at her question.

“W-We did not mean for it to come out that way!” Luna began to panic thinking that she offended me.

“It’s okay, I know you didn’t mean anything by it. But to answer your question…Yes.” At my answer all of the mares’ ears pressed against their heads in sadness as they had sad looks on their faces.

“My mother is a psychiatrist. She has both her M.D. and a P.H.D., she diagnosed me with PTSD… She’s tried to help me over the years by being my personal therapist. But for a while I just traveled around the world after high school. She said it could be good for me before going to college.” I told them.

“We apologize.” Luna said regretfully.

“As I said before, you don’t need to be sorry.” I told her.

“You said your mother was a psychiatrist right, what does your father do?” Twilight asked.

“He was chief of police of Angel Grove but he’s retired now. He’s living the easy live now with my mom.” I smiled.

“So your father was basically the captain of the royal guard where you’re from?” Twilight asked.

“Yeah, you could say that.”

“What were your parents like?” Fluttershy asked.

“They were always very kind and very loving. I never wanted for anything. They had well-paying jobs so we never had trouble with finances. They did their best to raise me and teach me good morals.”

“You said you traveled around your world. What was it like?” Celestia asked.

“It was one of the more fun times of my life. It helped me to clear my head and learn a little bit about myself. I also got to catch up with an old friend in a place called Tokyo, Japan.”

“That sounds like the country of Neighpan.” Pinkie chirped.

I couldn’t help but laugh at the pun.

“What was your friend like?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“She very nice… An air head half the time. But someone you can trust and is dependable… and she likes to eat everything in sight.” I joked.

“That sounds like Pinkie Pie.” Rainbow Dash joked.

“Aww, you know me so well dashie.” Pinkie giggled.

“Her name’s Usagi Tsukino, but everyone just calls her Serena.” I said.

What most people didn’t know was that she was the legendary Sailor Moon. They even made a TV show about her but thankfully no one ever found out her identity or the other sailor scouts identities. They just made up some fake identity for the show.

Our fathers had apparently been the best of friends for years, they were practically brothers. She was one of my best friends, so were the other sailor scouts. But that is a story I’ll talk about later on.

Though I do have to admit, Tuxedo Mask and me didn’t get along so well at first but we later on became good friends.

“Seeing other cultures was very fun and rewarding for me.” I explained.

“Do you think that it would be possible for you to come to Canterlot sometime and give a presentation on your world and humankind to some of my scholars? I must say, you have caused quite the stir amongst the public with your arrival to our world.” Celestia giggled.

“Sure, it should be no problem I could probably do it in the next few days.” I answered. I guess everyone knows I’m here now.

“That sounds perfect.” She smiled.

But her smile quickly turned to a frown.

“Listen Tommy… There is more to this visit. I came here to get to know you a little bit… But also to deliver some bad news.” She said.

I felt my stomach drop. I knew this was coming. So I beat her to it.

“You can’t send me back, can you?”

“…No… I’m sorry.” Celestia stated sadly.

That was it… No way back… I expected this but yet that doesn’t make it easy. I wouldn’t see my mom and dad or anybody again. Not like I had anyone besides them really.

Like I said before, most of my friends had either died or moved on in life.

Serena was one of the few that I saw every so often due to our families being friends. But those times were far and in between.

But that didn’t matter now because I would never see them again.

“You were lucky to be alive, the way you came to this world could have easily killed you. How you are alive is beyond me.” She said.

Everyone was silent for a few minutes as we sat there for a few minutes.

I’m not going to lie, this was getting to me. But not as bad as I thought it would be.

“Are you going to be alright?” Luna asked.

“Yeah.”

I had a chance at a peaceful life. I looked at the picture of me and my friends that was sitting on the desk next to me.

My friends would want me to be happy. I would never forget them. But I had to move on myself.

“This may seem bad, but you can make a new life for yourself here.” Celestia said.

“You can find love and raise a family. Continue you’re work as a teacher and a scientist. Help revolutionize Equestria with your knowledge.” She informed.

“You’re right. But what girl would want me? I’ve never really had much luck with relationships. Besides, I’m an alien. Everyone probably thinks I’m a freak.” I laughed.

“I find that hard to believe.” A new voice said.

A young Pegasus mare came in the living room. Her fur was a pearl white and her mane was a rose color which covered one side of her face. She wore golden armor and flashed a smile towards me.

“My apologies Mr. Oliver. I forgot to introduce you to my new guard captain.” Celestia stated with a blush.

“It’s alright, and just call me Tommy.”

“I heard you had an assortment of exotic weapons so I had my guard captain take stock of them in hopes that it could help the royal guard out with some new designs. I should have asked.” She explained sheepishly.

“It’s fine, I would however appreciate it if you ask sometime.” I told her. I could tell in her eyes that she really meant no harm. But that didn’t excuse the lack of manners.

“Sorry about that.” She said scratching the back of her head nervously.

“It’s alright.”

“Since Twilight’s brother Shining Armor married princess Cadance, him and his wife have to rule the Crystal Empire. So he retired from his position of Captain of the Royal Guard thus leaving an opening for my new Captain of the Royal Guard.” Celestia explained.

I turned my attention to the guard captain.

“Pleasure to meet you miss…”

“Blade Dancer, and the pleasure is all mine Tommy.” She said in a seductive tone. I had to admit, she was very beautiful.

“Thomas Oliver, nice to meet you Captain Blade Dancer.” I greeted.

“Please, just call me Blade Dancer, Blade, or Dancer. What’s a stallion like you doing living all on your own?” Blade Dancer asked.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“Well a stallion like you should be taken care of by some good mares.” She said with a wink.

“That’s right, gender roles are reversed here… Oh well, at least that means I can get free drinks.” I thought.

“I’ve just always been kind of a loner I guess. I’m used to being independent and on my own.” I told her honestly.

“Well, there are plenty of mares looking for a stallion. I must saying I wouldn’t mind a stallion like you. Especially a human stallion. I hope the myths I hear about humans are true.” She said with flirty tone.

“Tis true. Many a mare would love to find a stallion such as thou.” Luna said. I didn’t believe her. I’m nothing special.

But I did notice every mare in the room eyeing me with bedroom eyes. Especially the elements of harmony. They all looked at me with predatory eyeing a piece of meat.

“If Twilight’s letters are anything to go by, it seems that she and the other elements of harmony have become very ‘interested’ in you.” Celestia giggled.

All of the girls began blushing bright red as they tried to avoid eye contact with me.

Did these girls really have a crush on me? Naw, that couldn’t be right. They just met me.

“There is also the fact that you are an endangered species.” Celestia stated.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“Well, you are the only human in existence.” She stared.

“You see, Equestria has a sanctuary policy that protects all living creatures. Especially endangered ones. Though we’ve never ran into the problem of an endangered sentient species before.” She said thoughtfully.

“What does that mean for me?” I was really curious about what she was getting at.

“Well, we can’t just let your species die out. We need to preserve it.”

Oh no. She’s not going to say what I think she is going to say is she

“Stallions can have huge herds, believe it or not some even have over 20 mares in their herd. I mean a young stallion such as yourself should have no problem finding mares. I mean the hospitals test on you showed that you are able to have healthy foals with any sentient species on the planet.” She said.

“What! Woah! Woah! Woah! How the hell did your doctors find that out?” I said as my anger began to rise.

“W-Well, we were curious about you so the doctors took some sperm samples.” Celestia said nervously.

Honestly, I know they were curious as to what I was and wanted to take samples but I still didn’t appreciate them practically violating me.

“I-I am sorry, the doctors were just trying to be thorough.” Celestia stuttered. She was right. They were just trying to make sure that I was safe and healthy.

“You’re right. Sorry about that.” I apologized.

“It’s alright, I understand. But what I say is true. You are a mythical creature and we need to preserve your race.”

“Why is this so important to you?” I asked.

“Because we can’t let you’re species die out!” The sun princess stated urgently.

“According to the tests, you’re 3 times more fertile than a regular stallion. It also showed that humans can last longer than stallions in bed.” Luna explained.

The mares all looked at me in awe.

“Are you saying that I can get any mare pregnant?” I asked shocked.

“A mare can only get pregnant when she is in heat. But yes, if you were to lay with a mare during heat season, you would most definitely get her pregnant.” Celestia answered as if it were nothing unusual.

“Way to go stud.” Blade Dancer said eyeing me hungrily.

“Ooh, you’ll have little baby foals around your house in no time!” Pinkie said with a smile.

“I’m still trying to get over the fact that a guy can have more than one lover… I’m not going to lie though, every guy has dreamed of being in this situation.” I said.

The girls all giggled at this.

“Believe it or not darling, many mares find that an attractive trait for one to be as shy and innocent as you are.” Rarity giggled to which I blushed a little.

“So basically you want me to have a bunch of babies?” I asked Celestia.

“I want you to be happy.” She said. This lady didn’t even know me yet she wanted me to be happy.

“You don’t even know me, yet you want me to be happy. I find that hard to believe.” I told her.

“We agree that it does sound suspicious. My sister has come on a little too strong it seems.” Luna added.

“S-Sorry… What I really want is for you to give others a chance to get to know you and enter your life. A young stallion like you shouldn’t be alone.” Celestia stated.

“Equestria is really that hard up for males, isn’t it?” I asked with a deadpan expression.

“…Yes.” She said sheepishly.

“I have no problem giving mares a chance for a relation. But it feels like you’re trying to force me into doing something right now.”

“What! No! No! No! I didn’t mean for it to come out like that!” Celestia shrieked in horror.

“I think I know what you mean princess. Don’t worry about. I know you mean well.” I told her.

“Again, I’m sorry about that.” She repeated.

“I have to ask though… How old are you?” Celestia asked.

“28. Why?” I said.

Her eyes widened in shock. Same for the girls.

“How many days are in your years? Ours has 365 days, 12 months.” She asked me.

“Same here. Why?” I was getting more confused.

“I thought Twilight’s letter was a little weird when she listed your age.” She said.

“I didn’t pay attention at the time, I was too busy taking notes.” Twlight said.

“How long do humans live for?” Pinkie asked.

“70 to 100 years. Some have even made it over 100 years. But most live to be like 70 to 80 on average.”

The second I said that, Pinkie Pie’s hair made a deflating sound and went straight. Her eyes welled up with some tears.

“What’s wrong?” I asked as I saw all of the girls looking sad.

“On average most ponies live to be up to 800 or even 1000.” Twilight said sadly.

I couldn’t believe but the way they looked at me with pity in their eyes told me that they were speaking the truth.

“How old are all of you?” I asked.

“I’m 210.” Twilight stated.

“I’m 220.” Applejack said.

“I’m 190.” Rarity stated.

“180.” Rainbow Dash answered.

“190.” Pinkie said.

“230.” Fluttershy whispered.

“185.” Barbara said.

“280.” Blade Dancer stated.

My mouth was opening and closing like a fish and my pupils must of have been the size of saucers.

So basically I live only 1/10 of their life span if my math was correct.

I just turned 28 but I look 22 due to keeping in shape. But to them I’m only 2.8 years old compared to them.

“You’re just a foal!” Luna said.

“How old do you have to be to be considered an adult in human society?” Blade Dancer asked. All of the girls were very interested in this as well.

“18. You officially become an adult at the age of 18 in my government’s eyes.” I told them as the girls all looked like they were about to break down crying.

“Oh what a cruel mistress fate is. My knight finally comes for me yet his life is gone with in the blink of an eye.” Rarity cried.

“Not really. I actually have some good news believe it or not.” Celestia said with a smile as she made some pages of medical documents appear in her hands.

“The hospital records show that according to multiple tests. When Tommy went into a seizure, his body was absorbing the magic that was in the atmosphere. According to Twilight, your world had no magic except for a select few.” She said.

“What are you saying?” I asked.

“Ponies and the other species of our world live longer and age slower than humans due to the magic in our atmosphere. Your body has absorbed said magic when you came into this world. Your life span has been increased to that of a ponies as well as your youth. You’ll live and maintain your youth just as long as any pony. Considering your current age and maturity, I’d say you got at least a good 600 years left in you.” Celestia explained smiling.

“Sweet Jesus!” I shouted as I got up. My head was spinning again. I was going to live how long!

“Tommy! I understand that this is overwhelming! But this is a good thing! Just calm down and breathe deeply.” Pinkie said as she led me back to the couch.

It took a little bit before I calmed down enough to think clearly.

What would I do with all of this time?!

“Sorry, I just… Can’t believe that I’m going to live that long. But I’m okay now.” I tried to tell the girls but the seemed to not believe me.

“That’s okay. Look at it this way. We get to spend more time together and become the best of friends!” Pinkie chirped happily as her hair shot back to its puffy state.

“You’re right Pinkie. Thanks.” Her words managed to calm me down.

“There is still the matter about your age. In Equestria the age one is considered a legal age adult is 180. But don’t worry, you’ll still be considered an adult due to cultural differences.” Celestia giggled.

“Great, I’m basically a kid. Then that means the students I’m going to teach tomorrow are going to be much older than me.” I groaned.

All of the girls laughed.

“Don’t worry, due to your maturity you can still get a mare.” She said.

“But I must make sure that you are safe. Due to your age and your being of an endangered species, I hereby make you a protected species and wish you the best of luck in increasing your numbers.” Celestia said as she wrote up a document.

“I will have the guards in town notified of your presence so they know. Also, there will be a guard that will watch out for you in town. In fact her home is in town.” She said.

“Who is it?”

“Me.” Blade Dancer said with a wink.

“And to thank you for helping my little ponies and you generous donation of those precious coins, I give you this.” She said as a huge bag of coins appeared in front of me.

“These are bits. Equestria’s currency. Welcome to Equestria.” She said with a smile.

“You know what this calls for?” Pinkie said giddily.

“What?” I asked.

“A PARTY!!!” Pinkie cheered.

And party we did. The girls took me to Sugar Cube Corner where they had a surprise party set up for me.

The party was amazing to say the least. The whole town was there including Blade Dancer and the princesses as well, they gave me a very warm welcome. Especially the mares. They seemed to flock to me but the girls seemed to be very protective of me.

I met an interesting unicorn who was the DJ for the party, her name was Vinyl Scratch and her mane was an amazing neon blue and her fur was a snow white color. She wore a cool pair of sunglasses. She was pretty interesting. She was good friends with the girls. We talked for a while and became friends.

I even saw Cheerilee there. We talked for a while. When she found out how old I was she looked like her eyes were about to pop out of her head. But the princesses explained the situation and she understood completely.

The party when on into the night. But eventually the party ended. The girls and the princesses left and I went home.

Maybe it won’t be so bad living here.

One thing did get me though. The princesses said that the mares go into heat. I never asked her what she meant by that. I can only assume that she meant that mares have a mating season for when they get pregnant. I mean, it’s not like they are going to become some sexed crazed stallion hunting machines right?…Right?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

*Elsewhere*

Queen Chrysalis was listening intently to Atir. Atir had come to her a few months prior to the invasion of Canterlot hurt and near the brink of death. Chrysalis didn’t expect to run into another changeling queen in the area she was in. As far as she knew, the other changeling hives were in other regions.

“That’s why I think we should attack ponyville. The invasion last year was a failure, but that doesn’t mean it was for not. We found out who the elements of harmony are. We need love to survive. By taking them hostage we can ransom them and get the princess to surrender. She’s too sentimental. That will be her down fall.” Atir informed.

Chrysalis remembered the invasion of Canterlot vividly. She had almost won. She had defeated Celestia. If it weren’t for that damn princess of love and her husband they would have taken over Equestria.

She never wanted to invade or take over Equestria, but it was her only option to save her hive. Atir was the one who suggested invading Canterlot. Chrysalis didn’t trust her at first. But she spoke the truth. Her hive had been starving and they were desperate.

When they found Atir, they saw the remnants of her hive. All of them were dead. They all starved to death. That is except for Atir and her son Radlog who.

Her son didn’t say much. But he did follow commands to the T and completed every mission he was on perfectly. He was an excellent sword fighter and was very loyal which lead to him being her personal bodyguard. But something was very eerie about him. Whenever she looked into his eyes it was if he was staring directly into her soul. Then there was the fact that he was full 2 feet taller than Chrysalis. That definitely added to his intimidation factor, making the other changelings respect and fear him.

Atir’s logic was enough of a push for her to go through with the plan.

“We have no choice. We will attack Ponyville and kidnap the elements of harmony.” Chrysalis said emotionlessly.

“I will lead the attack myself.” Chrysalis stated.

“We will be gone for at least a week. Can you watch over the hive while I’m gone Atir?” Chrysalis added.

Despite her initial reservations of the changeling queen, Atir proved to be a very powerful alley and the two surprisingly became good friends. She was grateful to have Atir as an ally and as a friend. Her son Radlog was also a great ally.

“Yes Queen Chrysalis. But please allow my son to join you on this dangerous venture. ” Atir requested as she bowed respectively.

“Thank you. He will be a great asset to me. I shall prepare a group to go with me.” Chrysalis said before she left to prepare for her attack on the small town.

Atir was left by herself in the room.

“Pathetic fool. You actually believe I’m your friend. What an idiot.” She thought.

“I can’t wait to be done with that bitch, just got to let everything unfold as planned. When Chrysalis and her hive take over Equestria, I will kill the bitch and take control of everything. Nothing can get in my way.” She thought as an evil smirk spread across her face.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

*Tommy’s Dream*

Tommy found himself in a dark moonlit field. The grass in the field was blown back and forth by the wind and the moon was full and high in the sky.

“Thomas Oliver.” A voice called out to him.

“Who’s there?” He asked only for a very tall alicorn mare that stood slightly taller than Celestia, which was far taller than him. She had a long rose red mane and pristine white fur.

“Who are you?” The former ranger asked.

“I am Faust. I am the one that has summoned you to this world.” The alicorn stated.

“What!” He shouted in surprise and anger.

“I’m sorry for bringing you here and getting you stuck in this world. But this world needs your help green ranger.” Faust said.

“How do you know about my past?” He demanded.

“I have searched for a warrior strong and brave warrior such as yourself. You are the only hope for this world.” She said.

“You still didn’t answer my question.” He said with a look that pierced her very soul.

“I knew your mentor Zordon. He spoke highly of you.” She said nervously.

This caught the young ranger’s attention.

“How do you know Zordon?” He asked.

“He is an interstellar being that is trapped between dimensions. He and I have met due to this. He told me great tales of you. That you are the greatest ranger to ever live.” She explained.

“How is he?” She asked, trying to lighten the mood.

“Zordon’s dead.” He told her.

“What! How did he die?!” Faust gasped.

“He sacrificed himself to save the lives of millions.” He said.

“I-I see.” She said with a forlorn look.

“Why have you summoned me here?” He asked.

“A great evil is coming. All of Equestria is in danger. Millions will die if you do not stop this threat. I fear for the safety of my daughters, Celestia and Luna as well for my little ponies. You are our only hope.” She said pleadingly.

“What is this threat?” He asked.

“You must be prepared to fight. All that I can say is that this threat knows you very well.” She said before fading away.

“Dammit! Why is it they never give a clear answer on who the hell the bad guy is! It’s like every JRPG I play!” Tommy shouted.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

*The next day*

Tommy had gotten to the school extra early and helped Cheerilee prepare for the day. With the two of them it took no time at all. The two talked while they waited for the students to arrive.

As the students arrived many of them were staring at their new teacher.

When all of the students arrived and were seated at their respected seats, Miss Cheerilee stood before the class.

“Class, I’d like you to give a warm welcome to our newest human teacher.” She said as Tommy got up and wrote his full name on the chalk board before turning to face the class.

“Hello class. My name is Thomas Oliver. But you can all call me Mr. Oliver. I’ll be teaching alongside Miss Cheerilee.” He said with a smile.

“Does anypony have any questions for Mr. Oliver?” Cheerilee asked.

All of the little colts and fillies quickly raised their hands excitedly.

“Yes?” He pointed to a little brown colt who wore a hat with a little propeller on it.

“Is it true that you’re really from another world?” He asked.

“Yes it is. I’m from a planet called Earth.” Tommy said with a smile.

The class became more eager to ask questions when they heard that.

“What’s your world like? Is it futuristic?” Sweetiebelle asked.

From what Tommy saw, this world had cell phones and video games and excellent healthcare technology. But other than that, this world was really far behind in technology compared to earth.

“Yes Sweetiebelle. We have a lot of technology that does seem very futuristic at times.” He said to which the class awed at.

“What’s it like to be from another world and living in Equestria?” Miss Cheerilee asked.

“It can be overwhelming at times but I really like this world.” He answered to which she smiled.

“Are the myths about humans true?” Pepperment Twist asked with a heavy lisp.

“I’m not sure, I don’t know much about the myths that are said about humans.” He said.

“What’s one of the strangest thing you’ve ever done?” Applebloom asked.

Tommy instantly thought back to one of the weirdest times with him and his friends.

He shook himself out of his flashback.

“I’d rather not say.” He said sheepishly.

“How old are you?” Scootaloo asked.

“I’m 28.” He said making the school students giggle and laugh.

“That’s younger than us. I’m 136.” Applebloom giggled.

“Now class, please show Mr. Oliver respect.” Cheerilee said.

“Yes Miss Cheerilee.” The whole class said in unison.

“Thank you. Also, in case any student is interested I’m setting up a martial arts club after school in case anyone is interested. My only requirement is that you maintain you grades and behave yourselves.” He said.

“Okay class, let’s begin with today’s lesson.” Cheerilee said happily.

The class went smoothly for the most part. Tommy was actually feeling a lot better about his situation. What surprised him was that the school day only lasts 4 hours a day compared to the usual 8 hours a day back on earth.

He chalked it up to the differences in life spans. Since ponies lived much longer than humans it would mean they could space out their education over a longer time span and take it at a slower pace.

The martial arts club went excellently as well. Miss Cheerilee participated in the club and had a lot of fun.

As Tommy walked back home after his first day of teaching, he found himself smiling. True he was still sad about never being able to go back to his world. But all things considered. It could have been much worse. Things were actually going better for him here despite how he had only been here for a few days. If anything, he was feeling much happier. He had a job and was making friends.

But one thing got to him. What was this threat that was coming to Equestria, and what did Faust mean by ‘This threat knows you well.” and when was it coming to this world.

Was the whole thing of talking to Faust just a dream or was it something more?

Tommy would bide his time carefully and watch for any threat. He just prayed that the whole thing with Faust was just a dream.

Author's Note

Hey there everypony, sorry about the long delay. My dad’s been in and out of the hospital lately but he’s good now.

I made another long chapter. Everypony’s been wanting me to update this an quite frankly I like this story a lot.

Also, I’m going to be focusing on A Swordsman’s path to Redemption and this fic for a while so I can catch them both up. I will be updating Second Chances for Death’s Friends but it won’t be as often but it will be faster than last time. The chapters will just be shorter, around 2k to 4k. Like I said, I’m going to be focusing on working on A Swordsman’s path to Redemption and this fic for a while.

Right now, I’m going to go and start work on the next chapter of A Swordsman’s path to Redemption.

It should be out within the next 2 to 4 weeks… Hopefully. I’m going to work making the chapters around 4k to 8k to make things go faster.

And yes, Tommy does know Sailor Moon.

But I am going to take a few days off starting right now, this will be my planning period for the chapter so I can think of where I want Kenshin’s adventure to go. Then I’ll start writing the chapter. Also, the 24th was my birthday.

I am now officially 24... God I feel old.

Anyway, I’m off to go work on the next chapter.

God bless!

P.S. Big shout out to Xinrick for giving me great ideas and helping me out with this chapter. I couldn’t have done this without him. Also a big shout out to Fiddlesticks for letting me use their OC Blade Dancer.

Something Important that I need to know. Should the changling attack happen and tommy gets his green ranger powers back in the next chapter or do you think that would be rushing the story too much. Tell me what you think in the comments below.

P.S.S.

Dragon Ceaser is coming. When he does, Chrysalis will see something like this about to attack her and her forces.

It will be epic.

P.S.S.S.

Also, if you noticed I did use the same rules from my Rurouni Kenshin fic. Mainly because my fics all have the same rules when it comes to herds and relationships.

Imagine it this way. All my stories exist in the same dimension, but they reside in alternative universes within that dimension. Therefore the same rules apply within.

To help explain how alternate realities, dimensions, and universes work is Bill Cipher himself.
