The Expected Wedding of Flash Sentry? No Shit!

Chapter 1

___________________________________________________________

“Ha! Take that, Xaldin!” I cheered, getting him with another combo hit after what seemed like ages. Man, my work mates were right, playing on the hardest mode of Kingdom Hearts 2 was difficult at times, but the rewarding feeling you got from each victory, no matter how small, felt all the sweeter.

Suddenly, Xaldin stopped mid-attack, his lances pausing.

I hesitated, frowning. Had the game frozen? No, I’d still been moving Sora towards Xaldin when he stopped moving. Was the game glitching?

“Hmm. A quick-thinking mind,” a voice said, sounding amused. “You’ll work nicely.”

I blink, my frown become confused. That sounded like John de Lancie’s Discord voice. Huh?

Suddenly Xaldin’s glitch stopped and his lances fired at me.

“Oh, shit!” I cried, moving to react, but too late. Sora was now stuck in a chain and I had to watch in both disappointment and anger as his health was wilted down to nothing and the screen faded to black.

I leaped up, slamming my fist down on the desk, ignoring the throbbing pain that came with that. Damn it! I’d been so close to beating him that time, he had less than half his last health bar left. I’d never gotten that close on the hardest mode.

What the happened there? If Xaldin hadn’t frozen like that and then the game say something in John de Lancie’s Discord voice, something I didn’t remember ever happening during a battle with Xaldin in the other difficulty levels, I wouldn’t have been distracted and I’d have won. I’d been one combo away from beating him at last!

Sighing, I sit back and wait for the Try Again icon to appear so I can start the battle again... only now noticing that the screen was still black.

I frowned. That wasn’t right.

I glanced at the PS2 and saw it was still on and I didn’t hear anything odd with the disc inside.

I raised an eyebrow. Okay. What’s going on here?

Suddenly the screen goes from black to blinding what in less than a second.

I shout, shielding my eyes against the brightness... before everything goes black.

___________________________________________________________

I’ve got to run. Got to get away.

I’m injured, badly. Stupid idiots didn’t realize that avalanche was more likely to kill me than allow them to capture me again. I don’t have a hard exoskeleton, like they do.

I can barely stand, leaning against a tree for support.

I have to get away. Have to...

Ow! Man, my head is pounding. And what the heck were those weird thoughts I just had? Exoskeleton? Avalanche?

I groan out loud, intending to push myself up.

However, the groan I make, causing my mind to seize up.

That... wasn’t my voice. In fact, it was very familiar, but not in a positive way.

I slowly open my eyes and look blearily around. I’m at the edge of some trees overlooking a valley.

I blink as I notice something that is very wrong. The world looks almost cartoonish, and with a very strong familiarity.

I gulp, before asking, “Am I where I think I... am?”

My voice still doesn’t sound right. It sounds... but, it can’t be.

I try to get a feel of my body and simultaneously want to leap for joy, while at the same time feel myself cringe.

I felt no fingers or toes at the ends of my hands and feet. I didn’t even feel hands and feet. I could feel hooves. Along with that, I could feel my mouth was different and that my ears were pulled back against my head and feeling very un-humanlike.

There was also the feeling of two new appendages on my back, both of which twitchws at just the mere thought of them.

I didn’t need my brain to clear to figure out what had happened, I’d written enough fanfics about it to know, even if I’d never really experienced it before personally.

I was a pony, a Pegasus, if the wings were anything to go by and the fact that I didn’t feel a horn on my head.

Now, normally, if this kind of thing happened to a brony in a fanfic, they were joyous beyond words and, this being real life, so should I and, for a moment, I was ... aside from one, glaring detail, that I could not ignore!

The voice that had come out of my mouth, not only wasn’t my own, but was one I knew for reasons a lot of bronies did.

Gulping, I rubbed my eyes with my new hooves to get the sleep out of them, then looked down at said hooves. They were orange, or rather, covered in orange fur.

Okay, Pegasus, familiar voice and orange fur; not a good start. But I needed to keep looking. Maybe I’ll get lucky?

Using a hoof, I brought a piece of my new mane from my right to get a look at its colour; blue.

Deep breaths. Still one more thing to confirm what I was really hoping more than I had anything in my life was not my reality.

I turn my new pony neck around to look at my flank. Sitting against the orange fur was an unmistakable shield with two different shadings in the shield of arms, two blue, two a more greyish-blue.

“You have got to be kidding me,” I growled, glaring at the marking on my flank. “You have got. To be. Fucking. Kidding me! I wake up in Equestria, an impossible dream come true for any brony, also get to be a pony... and I’m FLASH FUCKING SENTRY! ARE YOU SERIOSULY SHITTING ME?! I WAKE UP IN A WORLD I’VE WANTED TO ALWAYS VISIT, BUT AS WORST PONY, A PONY EVERY SINGLE BRONY WANT TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF ONE SIGHT!? WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT THAT WAS FUNNY!”

“We found him!”

My head snaps in the direction of the voice. Good. I’m angry enough to beat to shit of out something.

However, what I see does scare me almost enough to make me forget my anger.

Changelings. Fucking Changelings! If I wasn’t so pissed off right now, I’d probably be fangasming or whatever it’s called.

There’s twenty of them and they quickly surround me.

You know, the fact that you’re a pony right now, don’t know how to use this new body and you’re surrounded by twenty Changelings is probably not a good thing, a voice in my head, the voice of reason, triied to tell me.

I ignore it, though. I’m too pissed off at which pony I’ve woken up as and I’m going to take that anger out on these Changelings... provided Flash Sentry is a strong as his race of pony should be. Knowing my luck, he’s a total push over and I’ll be down in seconds.

I glare at the Changelings, daring them to attack—

“Well, we can’t let that happen, now, can we?”

I barely register just whose voice I heard, along with my brain trying to process it, before the Changelings, all twenty of them, just suddenly vanished.

I blinked, not having expected that. Staring at the empty area which used to hold the insectoid creatures, my brain was only just now starting to remind me they would’ve likely knocked me out, then drained me dry of all my emotions until I was a lifeless husk.

“That was a little interesting,” the voice said again, before a mismatched creature made of many other animals appeared in front of me, its eagle and lion arms crossed, a smirk on his face. “I had a feeling you’d be perfect for this.”

I blinked again. One half of my brain was trying to understand what he meant by that, while the other half was screamed IT’S FUCKING DISCORD! THIS IS SO AWESOME! with fanboyish... whatever it’s called for guys.

“Hello? Equestria to Flash Sentry, are you there?” he called, knocking the top of my head with his eagle claw as if I were a door.

I shook my head, coming out of the mind-lock and glared at him. “What did you do?”

He blinked a few times, then pouted, folding his arms. “Is that the kind of thanks I get for saving an innocent life?”

I growled, looking away. “Fine. Thanks for saving me from those changelings.” Even though I wouldn’t have be surrounded by them if you hadn’t done whatever the fuck it is you did to me that brought me here looking like Worst Pony in the first place.

Now to quickly clear things up, I was never really much of a Flash hater as the rest of the fandom after his first appearance in Equestria Girls. Truth be told, I was moot on the whole thing. In my opinion, people could hate on him, or like him, I hadn’t cared which.

However, things had kind of changed after Rainbow Rocks, and the fact that I now was him certainly wasn’t improving my opinion of the Pegasus.

I glared back at Discord. “Now, why the fuck have I woken up as Flash Fucking Sentry? Last thing I was doing was trying to beat Xaldin in Kingdom Hearts 2, heard your voice, then woke up here after my TV blinded me.”

Discord suddenly wasn’t there. A yawn made me whirl around (I have no idea when I got up, nor how the hell I was standing on four legs, but I paid no mind to that for now) to see him lying in a hammock, wearing a Hawaiian T-shirt.

“Do you want the long version or the short version?” he stretched, putting his hands behind his head. “Because the short version is Flash escaped from the Changelings who captured him, almost died, and I saved him by fusing the two of you together.”

I blinked, then growled. “Give me the long version... Wait, you did what to us?” My eyes widened in rage.

He rolled his eyes. “What the problem? You’re a brony, aren’t you? Being in Equestria and getting to be pony is a dream come true for your lot, isn’t it?”

My right eye twitched, and I vaguely took notice that I was seeing out of both eyes for the first time in over a decade, when I used to only see out of one, not to mention the fact that Discord knew about the fandom, but other thoughts pushed those out of my mind as I— you know, I have no idea what’s worse than a glare, but I was giving it to the dragonequus.

“NOT AS FLASH FUCKING SENTRY!” I screamed, feeling my face heating up. “No brony in their right mind wants to turn into him!”

Discord raised an eyebrow, before what looked like an iPad appeared in his lion’s paw and he flicked the screen with his eagle talon. “Then how come he became such a big thing in your fandom once that second movie came out?”

Ignoring he’d just mentioned he knew about the second movie, I screamed, “BECAUSE HE FUCKING MADE TWILIGHT CRY! AND NO, DON’T YOU DARE TRY DEFENDING HIM WITH A “HE WAS UNDER THE SIREN’S SPELL” EXCUSE! I KNOW HE WAS, BUT THAT SHOULD’VE ONLY MADE HIM NOT AS FRIENDLY TO HER, NOT MAKE HIM TREAT HER LIKE DIRT! THAT SCENE ALONE MADE HIM BRONY ENEMY NUMBER ONE!”

Again he just wasn’t there and I suddenly felt something resting atop my mane, hearing Discord sigh. “Very well. Always the boring way. Honestly, you and Twilight Sparkle are meant for each—”

“Finish that sentence, and I swear to God, I don’t care if you’re an immortal being of chaos, I will beat the fuck right out of you!”

A devilish grin spread across his face, one that immediately made me anger vanish to be replaced by fear. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

That... ominous was way too weak of a word for it. For the first time since waking up, I actually was scared.

Anger had helped. It had kept me from feeling fear for suddenly being in another world, in another creature’s body. Now, with my fear of that grin making me forget my anger, other fears started weedling their way into my brain, as Discord began to tell me the what what.

“A few days ago, Twilight was part of a little gathering in Canterlot where Spike let his greed get him over his head again...”

I blinked. When did this happen? When I was on Earth, it had been October 2nd. Rainbow Rocks had come out on the 27th of the last month, but I’d had to wait til the 2nd to actually see it.

Whenever this thing with Spike’s greed again happened, it must have been after the movie in Season Five, I knew they were making one. Huh. I wonder if Spike became big again, just like the last time.

I couldn’t help smirking, thinking of all those nobles terrified as the little dragon they belittled because he wasn’t like them, suddenly growing huge and destroying the city. I bet Blueblood wet his... oh, wait. He doesn’t wear pants. Probably still wet himself, though.

“Oh, course, since Flash was one of Cadance’s personal guards, he was there too. During all the commotion, a group of Changelings took him by surprise, one pretending to be Twilight Sparkle and luring him away.”

I blinked, paying attention again.

“Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,” I said, holding up a forehoof to stop him and looking up at my mane. “Why? What possible reason would the Changelings ponynap (did I just say ponynap) Flash Sentry? That doesn’t make any sense.”

Discord shrugged, a giant banana appearing before him, pealing itself to show a normal sized banana within, the peal vanishing and he gulped it down. “Why else? He loves Twilight. Feed off of that and you’ve got a Cadance repeat, only in reverse.”

I growled, smacking my head with a hoof. Great. So it’s confirmed Flash loves Twilight. Well, as long as he doesn’t say she reciprocates the emotions, we’re good.

I felt a pat on my head and looked up to see Discord back to his regular size, standing in front of me, grinning. “Though the whole marriage thing was a bit much of plan, if you ask me.”

My nostrils flared and I slammed him against the nearby tree. “You did NOT just tell me Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle are getting married!” I yelled.

He blinked, before guffawing. “Oh-hoo-hoo-hoo. Flash and Twilight? Oh, dear me, no. I was referring to the wedding between Flash Sentry and Queen Chrysalis.”

I sighed, pulling back and turning around. “Well, that’s a reli—” What he said suddenly registered and I whirled around, my eyes wide. “Wait, WHAT?”

He nodded, a banner saying “Congratulations, Flash” printed on it, with an image of the Pegasus and the Changeling Queen holding each other in a tight embrace.

“I— but— uh— wha?” I asked, my brain not quite working as it tried to wrap itself around a ship I’d never once considered. It failed. Multiple times. Badly.

Discord nodded, wrapping an arm around me and placing a rose in the breast pocket of my tuxedo (which I knew I hadn’t been wearing a second ago) and laughed.

“Just imagine, hundreds of little Changeling-ponies running around, calling you daddy.”

“Hundreds?” I could feel my brain protesting to how much stuff it could not understand going through it at once.

“Thousands, really,” the creature standing by me chuckled. “I doubt Chrssi, wouldn’t stop there. So many babies, so little time.”

“Uuuuuhhhh,” was all I could manage with my brain going on strike until things stop not making sense anymore, which clearly wouldn’t be for a while.

“Indeed,” Discord stood up, the rubbed his chin with his lion’s paw, I was only vaguely aware that i wasn't wearing the tux anymore. “Now, where was I? Ah, yes. Now, of course, one of the Changelings tried to still a little love from you whilst they transported you in a pod. The others weren’t happy and fought. The result led to your pod falling out and opening when it fell down a cliff.”

“Wait! Hold on a minute!” I shouted my eyes wide. “Why in the hell would Chrysalis want to marry Flash, of all ponies? Since this is clearly a forced marriage, I’d have thought she’d force Twilight to marry her. That would make sense. Why the hell did she choose to marry Flash?!”

Discord frowned at being interrupted, but I didn’t care. He’d just told me Flash was being forced to marry the Changelings Queen, and now I was Flash, meaning I’d be marrying her. No way in hell was that going to happen!

He shrugged. “Oh, she would have, but she tried to do that and, don’t ask me how, because I clearly don’t know how it happened,” the fake innocent smile on his face made me think different, “but she just fell head over hooves with him and wanted him for herself. The fact that Twilight loves him was just the icing on the cake for her. Or should I say the wedding cake?” he winked.

I glared. “wait a minute. You just said a little while ago that they did it so Chrysalis could feed off his love for Twilight.”

He grinned, looking up innocently. “I do believe I never actually said it was the reason, did I?”

I smacked my forehead. I was really starting to hate him... not to mention I still head a headache. I’d woken up with it, but it was mild enough to ignore. Having to deal with someone who follows the laws of his own world’s reality only a little more than Pinkie was not helping lessen, but increase it.

Discord shrugged, then continued from where I’d interrupted as if I hadn’t said a thing.

“By the time those Changelings messed up, of course, several days had gone by and the fact you were missing had become noticed. When Twilight detected Changeling magic around the last area you’d been seen, she freaked out.”

And thus another part of me died. If Twilight freaked out about Flash going missing, when he wasn’t even her guard and they’d never spoken beyond Equestria girls (I know he appeared twice in season four, but those were just background appearances and a single line in second to last episode of the season), it meant Flashlight was a real ship.

Sometimes, I hate life.

I frowned, something suddenly catching my attention. “Wait. How come I’m here, then?” I glanced around. I couldn’t see a cliff for miles, just the trees behind and the open valley beyond.

Discord’s face looked down at me from the leaves of the tree above me. “Oh, that was three days ago.”

I blinked. Wow. Flash had managed to stay away from the Changelings after he escaped for three days. Regardless of my feelings towards the guy, I had to give him credit for that, at least.

Discord’s face moved from side to side as his eyes closed, an indication he was shaking his head. “And yet, despite their orders being to bring you back alive, they thought causing an avalanche to bury you was a good idea.”

Now I was frowning again. “Seriously? Were they really that stupid?”

His face moved into the leaves, only for me to feel his eagle talon resting on my flank. “Yep. You got away, badly injured, I might add and him been running from them ever since. At least until you were at death’s door and the only way I could save you was by pulling you out of your world and fusing you to him.”

Wow. Flash was badly injured and he still managed to escape the Changelings, and that was three days ago. Again, despite my feelings towards the guy, I was starting to respect— Wait. What was that last part?

As if he’d read my mind, Discord nodded. “The only way I could save him was by fusing the two of you together. You’re still a pony, but you became the dominant mind, what with Flash pretty much being dead already.”

I stood still, my eyes just staring ahead. “My... family...?”

Discord chuckled. “More worried about your family than you are yourself at the moment? Well, that I didn’t expect. Sunbutt and the others would be very happy to hear that. Don’t worry, I erased any trace of you before 5:34PM on the 1st. As far as they’re concerned, you never came home from work.”

I felt numb, my legs buckling underneath me. I was a missing person? My family would never know I was here?

“Look on the bright side,” Discord said in a cheering voice, grabbing me in one arm. “Now you can live here, in Equestria, every brony’s dream. Plus, you get to marry royalty.”

I flopped out of his grip and falling to the ground.

“Hmm?” Discord seemed annoyed. He sighed. “If it can’t be helped.” He clicked his eagle talon.

I blinked, shaking my head, before holding it in my hooves. My head felt weird, all fuzzy. I shook it again, then glared at the other male. “What the hell did you just do?”

He shrugged. “I just made it so you wouldn’t be burdened by your feelings for your family.”

I raised an eyebrow. “What do you...?” I blinked. Now that I was thinking about my family... I couldn’t remember their faces... or their names.

“Well, Flash, what do you plan on doing now?” he asked, leaping up and laying in a hammock that wasn’t there a moment ago and was floating in the air in front of me, before a coconut appeared in his paw, with a straw inside and took a sip.

I glared at him. “My name is not Flash Sentry! My name is Flash Sentry!” I paused, my face blank. “Did I just say...?”

I quickly racked my brain, trying to remember my human name. To my horror, I couldn’t. I couldn’t even remember what I looked like as a human anymore.

I looked to the lazing dragonequus with horror and hurt. “How...? How could you?”

He frowns at him and harrumphs, the hammock and drink vanishing as he drops to the ground, his arms folded. “Typical. I go out of my way to save a pony’s life so that Twilight won’t be heartbroken and this is the thanks I get. Well, I know where I’m not wanted.”

With that he vanished.

I gritted my teeth, before shouting to the heavens, “DISCORD, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! IF I EVER SEE YOU AGAIN I’LL BEAT THE FLYING FUCK OUT OF YOU UNTIL YOU CAN’T EVEN MOVE!”

Suddenly I felt a weight on my back, before Discord coiled around my body until his face was in front of my now terrified one. “I’d almost forgot. Thanks for reminding me.”

There was a flash and he and the weight were gone.

I blinked, my anger about to flare up again... before I noticed I felt different than I had seconds ago. I felt slimmer. My mane seemed longer, reaching within my peripheral version now.

I squeaked as I realized I could feel I was missing something down below that I’d not been before. I lifted my right back leg and turned my neck, feeling myself whimper at what I saw. Any signs of maleness were gone and instead a had the lower body of...

“A mare?” I sobbed, tears brimming in my eyes.

“Over there!” gruff voices called. “I can see orange!”

I whirled around in time to see six large white ponies wearing Royal Guard armour come through the trees. They were an even number of pegasi, unicorns and Earth Ponies.

They all froze at the sight of me and I wilted under their mixed expressions of shock, confusion, suspicion and one expression that clearly just said “What the hell?”.

Only theww words came to my mind to express my current situation.

“Oh, fuck me.”

Wait. I’m a mare now. Bad choice of words, really bad.

Author's Note

Well. that's something, huh?

Wonder how Flash is going to deal with this...? Or should we say Flare Warden, since she's been r63ed?

Anyway, won't be going on with this for a while. Just had it ratling in my head and, after recently events, needed to write a little bit of something new as catharsus to ease my mind.

Hope you enjoyed and see you next time.... whenever that will be, i don't know yet.

Til next time, latever everypony
