The fate of two worlds rest in one mans hands... Can he save them both? Or will he die trying?

Byron was a loner. He had no friends, and was failing most of his classes. He didn't care about anything. As he was walking home one day, he came across a very powerful being from another world. This chance encounter landed the fate of his world, and the others in his hands. He must go through hell to save everything, or die trying.

This started out as a roleplay with me and my friend, Alicorn king. and the premise just became so interesting that we decided to make a full story out of it. While what we have in roleplay format goes FAR beyond what I have here, I am currently editing it all into story format. I'll try to get a chapter up every 1-3 days.

Byron

      “Just another day...” I mumbled to myself as the school dismissal bell rang. “Just another damn day...” That day had been the same as any other. Wake up, get dressed, brush teeth, breakfast, go to school, get bullied, etc. Nothing really significant ever happened to me, I have always been that weird kid in the back who no one talks to. I’ve been bullied my entire life, hardly had any friends, and no one cared. Being a brony who spoke his mind and doesn’t give a shit what people think didn’t help that either. No one paid attention. I was just another insignificant being in this world.

I have always been a very bright, clever guy. I’m gifted, for one. When I was in preschool, it was determined my IQ was higher than that of the average adults. I could easily pass all classes with B’s, if I cared enough to try.

You see, a few years back, my brother - Well, half-brother - was murdered. Shot down in cold blood and left to die in an alleyway. I hardly knew him, having only met him once years before that, and that’s what hurt the most. I stopped caring after that. About school, about people, about life. But at the same time, I don't hate my life. I know I have it good. Let's see... Both parents? Check. A good school? Check. Laptop? Check. Xbox? Check. There is a plethora of good things in my life. I may have stopped caring, but I wasn't about to end it. I still had a small glimmer of hope, that maybe, one day, I will find something worth caring about. Be it a person, a career, anything.

Everything I just told you was all about to change.

As I walked through my usual route home, which was about a 30 minute walk across about 20 blocks, I decided to cut through the forest and save some time. I was told never to go into the forest by my parents, but they were out of state the rest of the month anyways. What were they gonna do about it?

I walked through the dense trees with natural caution, the leaves on the ground crunching under my weight. I looked around, seeing many, many tree trunks on the ground, stumps littering the forest. I imagined the forest must’ve been huge years ago. I imagined what it would’ve been like to be in that forest, with trees every two feet, the branches teeming with wildlife. There hardly were birds in the forest anymore.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by a sudden rustling of the leaves. I looked up, and what I saw still haunts me to this day. It was a strange, yet familiar creature, looking right at me. It had the head of a horse, with a deer antler and a goat horn protruding from the top of it. It had the claw of a lion and the talon of an eagle. He had wings, each from a different species, much like everything else already.

I didn’t need to see anymore to know I was looking into the face of chaos itself.

I was staring into the eyes of Discord.

“Well well, this day seems to have gotten much more interesting!” He said in that sophisticated, yet mischievous voice, slipping out of sight behind a tree.

I stumble backwards, the shock of what I’m seeing too much to handle.

“B-but, you aren’t supposed to be here! You aren’t real!” I manage to say after the initial shock subsides and I am able to speak once more. I quickly stand back up and turn around.

I start running back around, thinking I’m just tripping out from stress or something. I hear an echoing laugh, seemingly coming from all directions. Discord appears next to me, wearing what seems to be jogging gear.

        “Just out for an afternoon run?” He asks, jokingly.

I hear a rustling by my feet, and unbeknownst to me my shoelaces have been tied together and I trip, faceplanting into the dirt.

        “...sonofabitch...” I say as I pick myself up.

Discord picks me up with his claw, bringing me up eye to eye with him.

        “You humans are such interesting things...” He says as he laughs and tosses me into a tree, causing a bee’s nest to fall.

        “Oh shit!” I cry out as the bees fly around looking for the source of their disturbance, before setting their sights on me. “Why are you here?” I ask as I swat the bees away. Discord stops laughing and snaps his fingers, causing the bees to disappear and my shoelaces to become untied.

        “That’s a good question human...” He says as he sits down on a stump, looking off to the distance.

        “You mean you don’t know?” I ask, cautiously walking towards him.

        “No human, I don’t know.” He says, looking back at me, probably contemplating summoning a beehive in my stomach.

        “I-I could help you get back...” I say, just hoping to get him the hell out of here.

Discord shoots me a stare before climbing into the treetops. Just a suddenly as he disappeared, he appears directly under me, pulling me up into the air in a spinning hug.

“How wonderful!” He says as he now holds me at arms length. “Now, how do you plan to do that?”

I go deep in thought, racking my brain on transdimensional travel. But then I realize I’m only a senior in high school, and they don’t teach that shit.

“I honestly have no idea how to get you back to Equestria, but I will try everything until I find out.”

Discord drops me, looking at me quizzically. He slithers around me, never breaking eye contact.

“How do you know of Equestria, human?” He pokes my head to emphasize ‘you’.

“I-I need to show you something, at my house. Follow me.”

I motion for the chaos god to follow me as I continue walking home.

“Oh goodie, I love surprises!” He says as he follows eagerly.

We reach my house, and surprisingly no one noticed the huge multi-species god with me. I opened the door, set down my bag and opened up my laptop as Discord watched over my shoulder. I went onto YouTube, and loaded up the season 2 premiere of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

“Okay, now try to keep calm when I show you this.” I say as I slide the laptop in front of Discord.

“This is very, very interesting...” He says as he watches with relative confusion as the events unfold almost exactly as he remembers them.

“Yeah, those 6 ponies that defeated you? This show follows just about everything that they do.” I say as I look over at him. “That’s how I know about Equestria, and how I know who you are.”

“Well human, it seems you know so much about me when I know next to nothing of you.” He says as he looks over at me with obvious unamusement.

“Well, my name is Byron, I’m in high school, and I’m a huge fan of this show. There really isn’t much I could tell you.”

Discord smiles as he leans back in his seat.

        “Charmed. Well, as it seems I may be trapped here, you are my subject. You should be honored!” He says as he gets up and walks around my house.

        Little did I know this was the beginning of the end.

The Alpha and that other thing.

“Wait, I’m your subject?” I say as I look at him, making my silverware fight each other gladiator-like. “I mean, I know you’re practically made of chaos and stuff, but don’t you think since I’m helping you get back to Equestria and letting you stay here, - Not that I could stop you - Don’t you think I would be in charge?” I stare at him with apparent unfaltering confidence, when inside I’m killing myself over challenge a chaos lord. What the fuck did you just do, dumbass? I continue to chastise myself until Discord speaks.

        “Oh how funny! You seem to know so much about me yet you find this surprising?” He says with a loud chuckle. “I am a ruler after all, I can’t rule without any subjects!”

“Well yeah, of course. But I’m helping you get back to Equestria where there are helpless ponies to rule over.” And kick your ass. “Humans however, if they don’t like what you’re doing, they will not accept it and put up a fight.” As I say this, Discord stands and towers above me with his hands on his hips. “Are you threatening your ruler, human?”

        “I-I, no, of course not.” Way to go, you idiot. “It’s a warning.” DUDE, WHAT THE FUCK? “Not of me, but of the rest of humanity. I could never challenge you.” Discord smirks at this, knowing all too well he has complete power over me. “Very well then, how about you get your ruler something to eat? I am famished!” He says as he waves me away.

        I sigh. “I will feed you, but I’m not calling you ‘ruler’ or anything.” I say as I begin walking. Before I even take my first step towards the kitchen, I feel a tug at my feet and notice he had tied my shoelaces again. “Oh you sneaky bastard.” I say with a chuckle as I untie them and walk into the kitchen. “Anything you want in particular?”

        “Got any pony meat?” Discord says with a sinister smile, obviously trying to coax a reaction out of me. I’m not gonna lie, rage flourished within me with that statement. I mean, who would eat such adorable little candy-colored ponies? Anyone who would DESERVES to be trapped in stone. “Not that I know of.” I call back, ignoring my anger. “Will any meat do?”

        “It’s quite alright, human. You would probably screw it up anyways.” Discord says smugly as he summons a glass and fills it up with chocolate milk from top to bottom. “I doubt you have the skill to make a good glass of this either.” I chuckle at this.

        “Please, Discord. Every human on Earth can make chocolate milk.” I say as he chugs the glass and throws the milk which shatters. Hey, at least it didn’t explode. “Although, you are the only being who can make it rain chocolate milk...” Discord smiles giddily at this.

        “Funny you should mention that...” He says as he looks out a window. “How fun, wouldn’t you say?” Just the idea of having chocolate rain is enough to make me smile. “Oh hell yes. I only ask that you keep it on this street. We don’t need any attention.

        Discord looks at me with a devilish smile. “Oh I could keep the rain on this street...” He says with a snap of his fingers. “...But I think I would have a tougher time controlling that rhino.” Discord laughs as I look out through the window at a huge rhinoceros rampaging down the street, smashing people’s mailboxes and trampling their lawns. I try to stifle a laugh as the onlookers hide in fear. “Come on, Discord, we don’t need any attention!” I can’t hold it anymore, I burst out laughing as Discord snaps his fingers, causing the rhino to disappear in a poof, being replaced by a swarm of wasps that chase the bystanders away. He looks at me with a grin as wide as the ocean.

        “I can see you have Chaos in your heart, human.” I chuckle.

        “Yeah, but I’m not evil. I don’t go around hurting people, but I love a good prank.”

Discord raises his eyebrow. “I find it boring here. I wish to explore.” He says smiling devilishly.

        “Can you turn into a human so not to draw attention?” I say as Discord moves eye to eye with me. “I knew you would say that.” Discord presses his finger to the top of my head while staring into my eyes, transforming into something familiar. Transforming to me. He is now a mirror image of me except for his eyes. “See you soon human!” He says as he bounces out of my house, laughing and dancing down the street.

        “...Fuck.” I utter as I run out after him. “If you get me in trouble I won’t be able to help you get back! And I already have some theories!” At this, Discord disappears in a puff of smoke, and reappears behind me in his own form, with an elbow on my shoulder.

        “What makes you think I want to go back?” He snaps his fingers, causing the pavement to act as ice. “I can have so much fun here!”

        “SHIT!” I say as I slip, landing on my ass. “Oww.... because ponies are much easier to control than humans.” I say, slowly standing up on the ice-sidewalk. “Whoa... Okay, ponies will obey anything stronger than them out of fear of being destroyed. Humans however, they will fight to their dying breath. Even a being as powerful as you couldn’t stop humanity.”

        “And what of Celestia?” Discord says staring at me, sitting on a random stump protruding out of the pavement. “Well, Celestia herself doesn’t have the power to stop you. She needs the Elements of Harmony. And if I remember correctly, you almost beat them last time.” I explain, a greedy smile slowly crossing my face.

        “And I know how you can defeat them.”

Walk a Mile In My Horseshoes

        Discord gives me a wide smile. “Well, I think you have just given yourself a rather good use.” He grabs my arm as he summons a large, glowing sphere of light, something I assumed was a portal. “Oh the chaos we will cause together!” He pulls me into the light-sphere, confirming my suspicions of it being a portal. Most likely to Equestria. I begin explaining my plan as we float through the space between dimensions.

“Okay, once we are in Equestria, you’re gonna need to turn me into a pony. Then you need to stay hidden. I will befriend the main 6, and find a way to separate them.”

        Discord looks at me, practically tearing up. “A man after my own heart!” The portal brings us to the heart of what I assume to be the Everfree at night. I look around, trees limit my vision considerably. I hear the sounds of all the wildlife. A deep roar from what I assume to be a manticore, the chirps of many a species of bird. The smell was damp and, well, smelly. I could smell all the feces, the unwashed feral creatures. You could smell the rotting carcass of some poor animal who probably fell prey to a manticore or an ursa minor. Overall, it was amazing. I was in Equestria, a place I have (and every other brony for that matter) only dreamed of being.

        “Welcome to Equestria, human! Now, you may want to bite something.” Discord exclaims with a snap of his fingers. “What?” A cracking pain shoots through my body, my physical form being considerably altered. “GAH, FUCK!” My skull is being reformed, my face elongated, all this giving me a terrible rattling headache. I feel my legs cracking, my knees snapping backwards, my toes retracting back into my foot while the bones shoot through and reform into hooves. I feel the same happening to my arms, my elbows flipping through to the other side, my fingers merging together forming a flat end, again the bones forming into hooves. At this point I am no longer able to stand, and I am on all fours. I feel a tail growing from the bottom of my spine, easily the least painful part of the transformation, as a light-blue coat of hair begins to cover all of my body.

        “Ugh...” I say as I shake of the soreness from the transformation. “Wait, if you could have came back anytime you wished, why didn’t you earlier?” I ask, curious. At this, Discord begins to hang upside down from a tree branch. “My dear Byron. Where do you think I learned of the great glory of chaos?” He flips around onto the ground, directly in front of me. “Humans. Even now you hatch plans to help chaos prevail.”

        I chuckle. “Yeah, Earth isn’t exactly the most harmonic of places. Now, which way to Ponyville?” Discord smiles devilishly as he magically pulls aside some brush and foliage, revealing Ponyville. “It’s right through there. When you enter, I’m sure you’ll meet a hyper pink pony. I trust you’ll know what to do?”

        “Of course I do.” I say confidently, looking at Discord. “Go ahead and have some fun. This may take a while. I’ll come get you when it’s time.” At this, I turn and walk towards Ponyville. “Humans...” Discord says as he laughs quietly. “The perfect creatures....”

        Ponyville. The most amazing place I have ever been to. But that’s probably because I’ve only dreamed of being here. Until now that is. I look around, everything is so beautiful. So... peaceful, so... harmonic. I continue to walk through the town, marvelling at everything I thought I could only see in dreams. Ponies walk the street carrying idle conversation and helping each other out. Every single pony is just so friendly, happy, and carefree. I laugh quietly as I see the pony we know as Derpy knock over another pony and quickly apologize and help him up. I d’aww on the inside as I see a little filly playing peek-a-boo with her mother. Everything is just so perfect here, I never want to leave.

        “My Pinkie Sense is tingling... My eye is twitching? My left hoof is stiff? That can only mean... A NEW PONY!” Pinkie Pie darts through Ponyville, looking for whoever the new pony could be. She stops when she sees a light-blue Earth pony with a short black mane and tail. That must be him! She darts up to the pony, stopping just a few inches in front of him. “HIYA!” Pinkie blurts out, highly ecstatic at the presence of a new friend. “Ummm... hi?” He retorts, clearly caught somewhat off-guard. This is quite a strange anomaly indeed. I have never observed this equine before, nor does he seem to have any luggage. Perhaps a visitor? Further information is required. “I’m Pinkie Pie! What’s your name?”

The sight of Pinkie Pie being directly in front of me triggered my inner fanboy. OMIGODOMIGODMIGOD! Okay, keep calm. SHIT! I didn’t think of a pony name! Okay, what’s my cutie mark? I look to my flank ever-so-slightly to catch a glimpse of my cutie mark, as it appears to be a silver tongue. “Uhh, I am... Silver Tongue.” Wow. Real creative Byron.

Quite fascinating, he obviously is lying but I can't be so sure. I should try to observe him in a social environment and study his actions so that I can pinpoint his weaknesses...but how? “You must be new here because I-” The pink party pony cuts herself off with a huge gasp. A PERFECT PLAN! I need time to prepare! Pinkie bolts away in a puff of smoke and becomes a pink blur as she darts through Ponyville again to prepare for her plan.

Great... now there’s gonna be a party. I continue walking through Ponyville, taking in everything I can. A Pinkie Pie party no less.

“Awesome!”

New Stallion in Town

Twilight Sparkle was in the middle of cleaning the library, even though nopony had came in today. It was part of her usual routine, and that’s not something the over-punctual purple unicorn was about to blow off. She was in the middle of dusting off the top bookshelves, when the small purple and green dragon known as Spike ran down the stairs, holding a rolled up piece of parchment.

“Hey Twilight, I got this letter from the Princess. It seems pretty urgent.” In a moment’s notice, Twilight was directly in front of Spike, levitating the letter out of his hand. “Oh no, I hope nothing happened!” Twilight opens up the letter and begins reading aloud:

“My Faithful Student,

I have sense the taint of chaos coming back to Equestria I fear that something evil has come to ponyville once more. My royal duties keep me in Canterlot and as such I need you to investigate. Be weary Twilight, chaos is unpredictable and takes many forms.

With haste, Princess Celestia.”

Twilight’s eyes grow wide, you can see the fear in her eyes. The chaos that will soon take over Equestria if her and the other Elements can’t stop it. “Oh no...” The unicorn quickly straps on her saddlebags and walks towards the door. “Spike, I’m going to begin my investigation.” Twilight says as she opens the door. “Where do I even start... Huh?” Twilight is cut off at the sight of a light blue Earth pony with a short black mane and tail in her doorway.

“Oh, uhh hi! Twilight Sparkle I presume?” Twilight nods. “We need to talk.”

The sight of Twilight was enough to set off my fanboy again, but I managed to keep my thoughts collected. I would need them to be for this. Twilight looked very confused. “Oh.. umm ok? Are you new here? I haven’t seen you around.” Looking Twilight directly in the eyes, I respond.

“Yes, I’m new here. I have an important message. And you’re gonna need to get the othe Elements for this.”  Twilights eyes widen, and rainclouds begin to fly in, covering Ponyville with rain. Not now, I’m not ready! “Strange, I didn’t know we had rain scheduled for today.” Twilight quickly turns her attention back to me. “What’s so important that you need all of us for? And more importantly, how do you know who we are?”

“I’ll get to that, just do it, please! It’s urgent!” I plead to the purple unicorn, hoping that I will set my plan in motion. The rain slowly begins to subside as Twilight responds. “Well alright. Do you want to come with me, or meet us somewhere?”

“Let’s meet up somewhere. I don’t know where everything is, so I’ll just meet you back here.” Twilight nods. “Alright, I should have everypony here in about an hour.” I nod and walk off, off to explore the town I have only seen on T.V. and my dreams.

Twilight Sparkle ran through Ponyville, scanning every inch of it for the others. “Rainbow? Raaiiinboow!” Rainbow Dash looks down from the cloud she was resting on at her name. “Oh, hey Twilight. What’s up?” The rainbow-maned pegasus pony smiles at her friend. Twilight clears her throat. “Rainbow, I need you to gather up all the girls and bring them to the library. It’s important.”

Rainbow, knowing Twilight, doesn’t question anything she tells her is important. If there was anypony to listen to, it’s Twilight. “Uhh, alright. Will do!” RBD flys off towards the edge of the Everfree. “I’m gonna go get Fluttershy first!” Rainbow continues flying, wondering what could be so important that requires everypony. “Be quick, Rainbow!” Twilight’s tone was hurried as well as her words, and Dash knew that whatever this was had to be important.

As she reached Fluttershys cottage, she could hear the soft voice of her best friend tending to her animals. “Now Angel, you can’t be so picky with what you eat... You have to eat what I have, if you don’t mind...” Dash chuckles to herself as she knock on the door.

“Fluttershy! I’m coming in!” Rainbow opens the door to see Fluttershy dive behind a couch, clearly spooked by the noise. “Oh... Hi Rainbow...” Fluttershy hovers over the couch, embarrassed, in front of her rainbow-maned intruder and closest friend. “Sorry... It’s just you were so loud that you scared me..”

Rainbow looks at her timid friend, clearly unamused. “Well come on! Twilight needs us at her place! She says it’s important! Go get Rarity while I get Applejack!” “Umm, ok...” Rainbow Dash flies out of Fluttershys house with astonishing speed, straight towards Sweet Apple Acres, while Fluttershy, on the other hand, timidly hovers out of her cottage, shutting the door behind her before moving on to the Carousel Boutique. “Oh, I wonder what could be so important...”

Twilight Sparkle was looking into anything she possibly could about chaos returning, and the new strange pony, before being interrupted by a friendly pink pony barging in her house, followed by what appeared to be the rest of Ponyville. “Hi Twilight!” Twilight looks around with widened eyes, knowing this is no time for a party.

“Pinkie, who are all these ponies?”

“They’re here for the party I’m throwing for our new friend Silver Tongue, silly!”

Twilight stares at Pinkie as she bounces up to the top of the stairs. “Everypony! We need to set up the party fast! Silver could be here any minute!”

“Bu- I- Yeah, bu- Pink- *sigh*” Twilight sits back in a chair as she accepts the inevitability of this party. “Well... maybe it’ll be quick?” Twilight is already choking on her words, knowing anything Pinkie-related is never quick. Except the set up. Everything was in place and everypony was already in their places. Even Twilight, and she didn’t even remember hiding! The party was set up faster than anypony could imagine.

“Okay everypony, Silver Tongue could be here any minute.” Pinkie quickly shuts off the lights and goes straight back to her hiding spot. “Now everypony, be quiet.”

Rainbow Dash was at Sweet Apple Acres faster than seemed possible, but alas, Dash was the one to pull off the impossible. “APPLEJACK!” Rainbow called out, looking for her country friend. “Well, howdy there, Rainbow. What can ah do fer ya?” Applejack, all sweaty from a hard day of apple bucking walked up to the speedy pegasus, fanning herself with her hat.

“Twilight needs us at her place, she says it’s important!”

“Well, alright then, let’s go!” Applejack and Rainbow Dash both take off for Twilight’s house, unintentionally beginning a race between the two rival friends. Dash easily pulls ahead during the last half of the way, gaining a good amount of ground. “C’mon Applejack... You can beat ‘er...”

Fluttershy and Rarity reached Twilights house, and open the door to complete darkness. “Oh, why is it so dark?” Fluttershy and Rarity both stumble around for the lights, when suddenly...

“SURPRISE!!!”

    “Eeep!” Fluttershy, in a fit of fear, quickly hid behind Rarity, while Rarity was in a state of mild shock. “Oh, you guys aren’t Silver Tongue.” Pinkie bounced out of the crowd of disappointed ponies. Fluttershy slowly moves out from behind Rarity as she asks Pinkie the question on both of their minds. “Silver Tongue? Who is Silver Tongue?” Pinkie just stared at her quizzically, as if she just asked what the sun was. “Fluttershy, darling, you simply must learn to be braver!”

    “Oh... I’m sorry...” Fluttershy looks down at her hoofs as Rarity gives her a reasurring pat on the back. “Aaaanyyyways, Silver Tongue is the new pony in town, and I’m throwing this party for him! Geez, where have you been under a rock?” Rarity huffs and flips her hair. “If oyu must know, I was designing my new fashion line.” She says as she smugly holds her nose in the air. “You and your fashion, you’re such a silly marshmallow!” Pinkie says with a pat on the head.

    Applejack reaches the library where Rainbow is already waiting for her. “What, that’s it?” Rainbow says smugly. “Let’s go.”

“SURPRISE!!!”

    “Aww, you guys aren’t Silver either!” Pinkie gives a small disappointed pout. “Silv- Ah, what does it matter.” Applejack and Rainbow take their places in the group as Pinkie shuts off the light once more. “Well, somepony needs to go find Silver!” Pinkie looks around expectantly.

Well, shit.

        Discord sat in the little encampment he made in the Everfree, causing chaos throughout the entire dark forest. After letting the human go and put his own plan into action, the draconnequis began making the animals fight as gladiators, switching their personalities, and so on. Anything to entertain himself until Byron returned, but he was quickly growing bored. “What kind of person does he think I am?” Discord sighs, thinking aloud. “The animals offer no such fun as ponies would. Perhaps I should check up on him...”

        Discord snaps his fingers, summoning a mirror on which an  image of Byron -or Silver Tongue- appears. The disguised human was walking through Ponyville, obviously out of his mind in the pure euphoria of being in Equestria. Discord heard him speaking under his breath. “Everything seems to be working fine... I should head back to the library....” Silver Tongue stopped and looked around, as if he felt he was being watched. “...Everything is fine Discord...” Discord growls with impatience as Silver walks through Ponyville towards the library. “Who does this human think I am, making me wait.” Discord says as he snaps his fingers, summoning a bull. “Maybe this will quicken his pace!”

        I walk through Ponyville, heading back to the library. It’s been a little over an hour, so I assumed they should all be there by now. I look around, still in shock at what I’m seeing. I’m in Equestria. I. AM IN. EQUESTRIA. My inner fanboy is freaking out, while outside I seem perfectly fine. I think. I dunno, but this is just amazing.

        As I’m walking along, letting my inner fanboy freak out, I hear a faint galloping sound, as if a pony was running up to me. I assumed that was what it was, so I looked back, and what I saw nearly made me shit myself. There was a large black bull, about three times the size of my pony body, charging. Straight. At. ME. “OH SHIT!”

        I quickly sidestep the bull as he charges right past me, and turns around for another attack. “IT’S GOING TO TAKE TIME!” The bull scratches its hoof into the ground an obvious sign it’s about to charge again. “Oh fuck me...” I stand my ground, mostly because I’m frozen with fear, but that’s beside the point. The bull comes within inches of my face before coming to a screeching halt. I can feel the bulls hot breath on my face. It’s stinky. I stare at it out of fear until it speaks, in a familiar sophisticated, mischievous voice.

"My dear huma- I'm sorry, Silver Tongue. I don't have time. The longer you wait, the more time Celestia will have to pinpoint my location. And I forgot one important piece of information, all ponies who aid chaos will be imprisoned for life within the Canterlot dungeon. Tick tock Human.” Discord laughs maniacally as he releases the bull from his control. The bull looks at me curiously. “Wait- where am I? Who are you?” I have to hold myself back from laughing, and I’m only able to shrug. “Well, you’re no help.” The bull snorts in my face as he walks off.

“This won’t take much longer.” I utter out as I regain myself. “Alright, time to put the rest of my plan into action.” I walk toward the library. The town seems unusually empty right now, but I shrug it off. There’s more important things to deal with right now. Such as my plan. I let out a breath as I reach Twilights house. “Alright... Let’s get this over with.” I struggle with opening the door with my new hooves, but finally manage to get it open.

“SURPRISE!!!”

“GAH! FU- I mean, BUCK!” I scream as the lights flick on and what seems like every pony from Ponyville jumps out and the peppy pink party pony known as Pinkie Pie darts up in front of me. I should’ve expected this....

And so comes the subject... Fool... Pinkie Pie stares at Silver Tongue with a huge grin and offers him a party hat. “HI! I’m Pinkie Pie and I threw this party just for you!” Silver takes his hat with a smile and obviously struggled to put it on. “Wow, thanks Pinkie! But, I’m not really a fan of huge parties. I prefer small ones.” Possible fear of crowds... Requires further data. “Oh that’s ok, silly! Now go meet some more ponies, and let’s get ready to PAR-TAAAYY!!” Pinkie darts off, smirking. Fools...

GAH! There isn’t any time for this! I think to myself as I dart around looking for Twilight. Surely she would agree and help get these ponies out so I can tell her what I need to tell her. I find her sitting in a corner, obviously no more overjoyed than I am. “Twilight, we need to get these ponies out of here. There isn’t any time for this!” Twilight looks at me for a few seconds, before nodding to show her agreement. “I’ll get Pinkie. You just get what you have to tell us ready.” I nod, and she goes off to find Pinkie.

“UNHAND ME VILE CUR- Umm, I mean- HEY TWILIGHT! WHAT’S THE DEAL?!” Pinkie shouted as Twilight pulled her out the door. “What? Oh whatever... Pinkie, there isn’t anytime for this party!” “Why not?”

“Because Silver has to tell us something important!”

“So everypony has to leave?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because it has to be told to the six of us!”

“Fine.” Gathering of information postponed until further notice.

After about an hour of rounding up ponies and getting them out of the library, everypony huddled up around me, waiting. “Well? What did ya gather us all up for? Spit it out!” Applejack pushed, clearly becoming impatient, fast. “First, I need a safe way to tell this information. Twilight, you know a mind reading spell?” I look over at Twilight without an expression. “Umm, yeah.” “Good, read my mind.” Twilight cautiously walks to me, lowering her glowing horn to my head.

Okay, whatever you do, do not repeat this out loud.

I am not of this dimension. I am a human. I was transformed into a pony by Discord.

Yes, Discord has returned. I played him like a fiddle, I used him to get here, to Equestria, where I have dreamed of being. He now thinks I am driving you guys apart. Discord is in the Everfree forest. You must defeat him.

Twilights eyes widen and she shivers a bit, slowly moving backwards. “Twilight? What’s wrong, dear?” Next thing I know, lightning and thunder were erupting around us in flashes of light, as a heavy rain of marshmallows hit the windows. “...Fuck.” A flash of light envelops me, and all I can see is white, except for the draconnequis before me.

“I should say I’m disappointed, but this worked out so well! I should thank you!” I frantically look around in a panic, not knowing what to do. My plan had failed-no worse, it had aided Discord. “TWILIGHT?!” “Silver Tongue?” Twilights voice is extremely muffled, and I can barely make out what she’s saying. “TWILIGHT! IT’S DISCORD!”

Discord laughs and picks me up, staring into my eyes. “I find it amazing how important mortals feel, when in truth, you’re all just pawns in the grand scheme.” I feel another cracking pain take over my body as my form shifts again into something I can’t quite deduce. “I have to say, you did quite well. You should be proud...” Something was off about that last part of what he said... It sounded familiar, very familiar... You know what it was? It was my voice. Coming from my body. Discord looked like my pony form, and I looked like him!

Okay.. think... Fuck! I can’t think of anything! I continue looking around in a panic as the whiteness surrounding us begins to fade. Do auras exist here? Oh god I fucking hope so... It’s my only shot! Show no fear... I let out a chuckle, trying to throw Discord off how scared I was. I was terrified. “Discord, you’re such a fool. Surely you know I have a truthful, beneficial aura, while you have a chaotic one."  I smile, as I explain where I was going with this. “You can’t dismiss your aura, Discord.” I fucking hope I’m right... I like having Discords voice, It’s fun to talk with it. Wait, focus, I got more important shit to deal with.

Discord smirks as he speaks. “I don’t think you realize what I’ve been planning this entire time.” He looks over to the ponies coming to my -Or his- rescue. “I couldn’t get them all in one place. No, they are far too smart to fall for my old tricks. But you? They had no idea.” Son of a bitch...

In a flash of bright light, Princess Celestia and six of her Royal Guard, clad in their golden armor, appear out of nowhere. “DISCORD!” Sweet! “Princess Celestia! I am not Discord!” I pleaded. “I know I look like it, but Discord switched bodies with me!” “Likely story, Discord!” It was clear my begging wasn’t going to work, so I had to use my last resort. The auras. I still had no idea if auras even existed in this world, but I had no other option. “Please Princess, I beg you to examine our auras!” Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease....

“He’s right, Princess! Examine the auras, it’s the only way!” Discord says with concern. He is a great liar, he is. Wait- what? I catch him glancing over at me, smirking. I look over and glare at him “Motherfucker...” Twilight comes closer to examine our auras and confirm, I assume. Oh thank god... “Thank you, human! You played your part well!” ...Fuck. Discord quickly jumps out of the way of Celestia and everypony else and summons a portal in which me, the mane 6, and Celestia fall through. “SHIT!” “See ya Celestia! And arrivederci my little ponies!” Discord laughs and disappears in a puff of smoke as the portal closes behind us.

An untold amount of time passed before we got to where Discord sent us. Truth is, I didn’t even care how long. I fucked up, and now Equestria was in a state of chaos. All that was going through my mind was ways to get back. I racked and racked my brain, but couldn’t come up with anything. But I was going to do anything to get them back. Where we landed, they should never be...

“OOF!” I hit the ground with a thud, and I heard 7 other thuds behind me. As I picked myself up, I realized something. I had hands, I was using my elbows, my knees, I was standing on 2 legs. I was human again. Huh, this is strange... I look up and see where exactly we landed. We are in front of my house, we are on Earth. “...Fuck.”

Weird Naked People

        “...Fuck.” I said. Hell, that was the only thing I COULD say! I had the mane 6 and Celestia on Earth, and they were the only ones who could stop Discord in Equestria, and it’s all my fault! All I could do was stare at them, lying there unconscious, and... naked.

There was the girl who was obviously Rainbow Dash, she was the slim, athletic girl with the rainbow hair. She looked like she was out like a baby, hopefully she wouldn’t be as cranky as one when she woke up. The next girl was Pinkie Pie. Pink, curly, bouncy hair? Unmistakable. She was about average body size, but a bit on the pudgy side. Barely, but it was there. Must be all the sweets... I thought as I looked to the next girl, Applejack. Her Stetson landed right next to her head, and she was using it as a sort of pillow on the hard concrete. You could tell she was strong, but at the same time, she wasn’t intimidating. Just some country girl you’d see walking around, everything about her looked perfectly normal. Twilight, she looked rather normal as well. A bit skinnier than average, but aside from her dark purple hair with the pinkish-purple streak, she looked like a perfectly normal girl. Rarity, she looked very, err, pretty. She was attractive, I’m just not into the whole makeup caked face thing. She still had all her makeup on, all her beauty products, and her perfectly groomed hair remained intact. A bit dirty, but the same way it was before. Oh boy, she won’t like that...

Fluttershy, she was... just, wow... She was easily one of, if not, the most beautiful girls I had ever seen. She had such a slim figure, her soft facial features were just beautiful. He long, pale pink hair was just perfect. She was always my favorite, and I’m sure that amplified my attraction to her tenfold, but still, she was just... beautiful.

And then there was Celestia. She was clearly taller than all of us, at least by a few inches. She still had her regal crown, and her multi-colored hair that waves from a non-existent wind was sure to garner more attention than everyone elses hair.

I need to get them inside, 8 naked people with weird hair isn’t gonna sit well with the neighborhood... I already had my arms in a lifting position on Rainbow, when I heard Twilight. “Oh.. my head... It hurts so...” She started to rub her head, and I knew she was about to start freaking out the second she noticed she had no horn. Shit. I quickly laid Dash back down right as the freaking began. “WHERE’S MY HORN?! WHAT ARE THE WORMS ON MY HOOVES?!” She screamed as she started to try and awkwardly run away on all fours.

“Twilight! TWILIGHT!” I kept yelling her name to get her attention, and she finally stopped and turned to me, looking fearfully at me. “Twilight, It’s me Silver Tongue. We are all on Earth, where I am from, and you all are human, like me. Now, stand up on 2 legs like me, you look ridiculous.” Oh boy, did she look pissed. I could see the fire in her eyes, she was full of rage. “Calm down?! You helped Discord take over Equestria, and you’re telling me to CALM DOWN?!”

        She ran -More like stumbled- over to me and started hitting me with closed fists as hard as she possibly could, which, wasn’t very hard. “Twilight, I didn’t help Discord!” “LIAR!” “If I was helping Discord, why would I have told you everything? Huh?” I struggle to grab her arms and stop her from hitting me. She just wouldn’t listen to me. “Twilight, all I wanted to do was get to Equestria, so I tricked Discord!” She stopped struggling and looked at me, tears in her eyes. I sighed. “But he was just using me...” Twilight breaks down and starts crying into my chest, clearly overwhelmed by everything going on. I’m sure all of them will be, as I am, but I have to keep calm and think of a way to get back. “He was using all of us Silver, all of us...”

        I say nothing and instead just keep an arm around her to comfort her. Then I heard that same god damned voice... That same voice of the being that sent us here. Discord. I don't think I could ever thank you enough for playing your part so well. Consider all them a gift. From a benevolent ruler, to his loyal subject, Bwahahhaa!!!

“Benevolent my dick...”  “What?” “Huh? Oh, nothing, Twilight.” She stays crying into my chest, her tears wetting my torso as well as her face. “Twilight, we’ll get out of here. Look, everyone else is here, even Celestia.”

        “The Princess is here?”

        “Yeah, you go wake her and I’ll wake the others, okay?”

        Twilight nods as she walks clumsily over to the Princess, and gently shakes her, trying to wake her up, as I do the same to the others, starting with the one least dangerous to me when they’re angry, Fluttershy.

        After about 10 minutes of waking everyone up, and promptly getting hit or slapped from everyone except Fluttershy, we were all standing, everyone looking accusingly at me. We also seemed to be gathering some unwanted attention from onlookers. “Where in tarnation are we? What did ya do Silver Tongue?!” I raise my hands to show my innocence. “I didn’t do anything, Applejack! It was Discord!” I sigh. “Anyways, we are on Earth, where I am from, and you are all human. Also, call me Byron here.”

        People have started to move closer to the group of 8 naked people standing around, and are clearly staring. Alot of attention and crowds always made me anxious, and I’m sure to the ex-ponies, a whole mob of strange creatures wasn’t keeping them calm either. “What are they staring at? WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?” Dash yelled, she was clearly getting angry, fast. “Dash, they’re looking at us because we’re.. err, naked..”

        “So?”

        “So, it’s not decent for humans to be naked out in public. We need to get you inside and get some clothes for you guys.” I start to pull them all towards my house quickly, getting resistance only from Rainbow Dash. “Dash, get INSIDE!” “Why?!”

        “Because someone is gonna call the cops, and we’re all gonna get put in jail or something, GET IN!” “...Fine.” Luckily I had left the door unlocked when I chased after Discord and he teleported us to Equestria. Everything was the way I had left it, dishes still dirty, room still cluttered, living room filled with pizza boxes, everything was good here.

A strange new world... So much to learn and explore in this new dimension, wherever do I start? Pinkie Pie looks around the house, curiosity taking over her every sense. “OOOOHHH! What’s THAT do?” She questions as she bounces over to a strange box like thing with glass on one side and buttons on it. “That? That’s a TV. It’s for entertainment.” Byron explained as he walks into another room, probably to get some clothing for everyone, but Pinkie wasn’t concerned with that, she had a new toy to play with. “OOH! What does THIS button do?”

        I walked into my room to get some clothes for myself, and as always, it took me awhile to decide. I’ve always been indecisive, about everything. No matter what it is, I can’t decide. After about 10 minutes of trying to decide, I settled on some dark blue jeans and a dark red t-shirt. I had just gotten my pants on and was about to put on my shirt, when I heard a condemning sound:

My Little Pony, My Little Pony

        “...Fuck.” I dropped my shirt and ran into the living room, where everyone was staring at me accusingly. “Guys, I can exp-” Out of nowhere, Rainbow Dash tackles me and pins me down, cutting me off mid-sentence. “OK PAL! You’ve got ALOT of explaining to do! Are you some kind of spy?!” Dash stares me down, growling at me, while everyone else just looks at me with the same accusing expression.

        “What? No!” I return Rainbow’s glare as I continue speaking. “You guys, Equestria, everything else? Yeah, all of that is made into a television show for young girls here. Your lives are made into entertainment for us.” I manage to push Dash off of me and stand up, probably due to the shock of what she just heard. “Alright, I know it’s alot to take in but-” As I look around at everyone's shocked expressions, I notice a sight I never want to see again in my life.

        I saw Fluttershy, curled up in the corner, starting to cry from everything I just said. My expression quickly changed from bold, to compassionate. “No, Fluttershy.... Please don’t cry, it’ll be okay.” I slowly walk towards her, as I look towards Celestia. “Please tell me you know a better way to explain this?”

        The Princess sighs and nods. “Yes. I’ve been studying this new magic we discovered after you all encased Discord in stone. From what I’ve gathered about it, it seemed Discord can travel dimensions. And, he proved it to be true.” Celestia looks at Twilight with a sorrowful expression. “I’m sorry I kept this from you Twilight, it was just too unstable and dangerous, and I couldn’t risk anypony getting hurt.” She sighs and looks to her feet in shame.

        “It’s alright, Princess. You did what you had to do.” Twilight says as she gives the Princess a reassuring smile. “That’s how Discord found me... He traveled here and brought me back with him, which was my plan, but he fooled me by making me think I fooled him...” I go back to Fluttershy and giver her a reassuring hug, doing anything I can to keep tears from falling down her face. “I’ll get you back Fluttershy, I promise. Everything will be okay...”

        I was wrong. Oh man, I was terribly wrong.
