//-------------------------------------------------------// The fight for survival -by lost worlds- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// It begins //-------------------------------------------------------// It begins Chapter 1 Today I had just gotten out of my history class and I felt like I hadn't learned anything, and that I was going to flunk my class or get as low as a C. History was the last class of the day for me so at least I could get home and study for my test tomorrow, I was usually very good in school but today of all days I nearly broke down, which nearly got me a trip to the counselor's office. Most days of the year I felt nearly no emotion, but moments where I break down, all my emotionlessness rushes to my mind and I remember all the times that I didn't cry when a family member died, when I saw a friend die, and when my mom turned insane. Like every day this year I started to walk home and was greeted by the same silence that was always great for me about 10 minutes into my walk. then I heard a small sound, like a whisper, but I couldn't make it out. When I turned around all I could see were the many houses lined with bushes and fences. But when I turned back around, Just for a second, I saw a large creature with wolf like facial features and ears, sharp and pointed teeth that dripped with saliva, and dark black fur covering its face and body. After that I bolted to my house to prepare for the next morning, because I finally concluded what the whispering must have said, it said "Tomorrow you will die." The next day as soon as I got up I got dressed in a black T-shirt with a wolf in the center, a pair of white boxers with white socks, dark blue jeans, and a red jacket with black and blue sneakers. Then I dumped out my back pack and put in new items. I grabbed a small sword with a gold colored sheath, attaching it to my belt, then I grabbed 500 rounds of ammo for the .22 air rifle I was bringing, a small search and rescue switch blade knife, and the .22 air rifle which I put on my back. On the way out, after climbing out my window, I gabbed some gasoline and some matches from our shed as well as a hatchet and axe. By the time I was finally off it was nearly 5:00 AM and I was tired from my lack of sleep. When I reached the spot I was waiting for any sign of an attack of some sort, but for half an hour nothing happened, so I sat down after a while and decided to wait for my enemy in a more comfortable spot. After 15 minutes of me sitting there and waiting I decided to just leave and not even bother, but that was my mistake, when I got off the grass I had been sitting on I picked up my backpack and walked onto the concrete. As soon as both my feet were on the sidewalk I started to sink in and had no way out. When I was to my waist I heard a maniacal laughter from the near by lamp post, under it I saw two glowing eyes and a sadistic smile, the same smile of the creature I had seen the day before. "Why? Why do you want me dead?" I asked as I looked up into his eyes with curiosity and his mouth moved as he answered me. "As you die with your final breath, you take your final rest, no more hate, I destroy your fate, to foil my master plan, to be rid of your future clan, so sleep ever so soundly, and know the future you will never see," said the creature in its deep and echoing voice. By the time it finished I was up to my mouth in concrete and it only took seconds more for me to be completely submerged. I felt my lunges fighting for air after 20 seconds and as I suffocated my vision began to darken and my lungs were on fire. then it went away and I felt nothing and saw nothing but an endless black void. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I awoke I was greeted to the sight of a clear blue sky overhead and birds chirping all around me, then my lungs started to hurt after a few seconds and made me start to gasp for air very frantically as I remembered what had just transpired. I then looked myself over and found that all of my body was covered in a dusty cement and that all the muscles in my body were aching like I got into a fight with three professional UFC fighters. I then began to inspect my surroundings, next to me was my bag that had somehow been opened as well as all my items falling out, and I was in a small clearing around 10 feet in diameter and surrounded by trees and shrubbery. I quickly started to pack my stuff so that I could go and see where my foe had left me after he tried to suffocate me. After a few hours of walking I came across a small pathway that seemed to lead to a small cottage near the forest I had walked through, when I looked around and saw a sign that said 'beware, Everfree Forest', 'hmm, so that's where I am, the everfree forest' I thought as I started to walk up to the cottage. When I got the door I noticed how low the door was and how small the cottage was, I was standing at a height of 5 foot 10 inches and it looked like inside the cottage the ceiling was probably 6 foot 4 inches on the first floor, so the ceiling wouldn't be to far above my head. I knocked on the door and awaited the doors to be open, what I wasn't waiting for was a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane to open the door, scream, and then shut the door right after. I stood there for a few moments before finally being hit with reality, a yellow PEGASUS with a pink mane just SCREAMED at me and shut a DOOR in my face, when I thought it over I realized that that's no weirder than being nearly suffocated in cement by a six foot, rhyming, wolf like demon that wants me dead, not even close.so I then knocked on the door again only to be met with an icicle falling and cutting the back of my hand, I gasped at the sudden pain and finally realized that there was snow all around me and that the air was freezing cold, and that the door had many icicles over it. when I was about to leave I saw the door slowly open and heard a loud gasp before the yellow Pegasus slowly walked out and began to look at my hand as blood fell into the snow. "a-are you ok y-you seem to be bleeding Mr. whatever you are, umm. what are you exactly? if you don't mind me asking," she whispered while hiding behind here hair. "Umm, well my name is Jack Cresten but call me Jack, as for what I am I'm a human, and I'm fine it was only a cut, it didn't puncture my hand," I said as I looked at her blankly, slightly surprised that any creature could care enough about another creature getting hurt to get over their fear of the unknown. She looked back at my hand wincing as my hand continued to bleed, and not slowing down. "You need to bandage your.... your.... what is that exactly?" whispered the Pegasus, all while continuing to stare at my hand. I just looked at my hand and started to chuckle to myself as I realized that there must not be any humans here, 'wherever I am that is'. Before I could answer her question I herd a loud growl coming from the woods, when I looked towards the noise I saw four sets of glowing eyes coming from the woods, then I heard the Pegasus scream. "TIMBERWOLVES!!!!" The wooden looking wolves started to advance as my ears were ringing and the Pegasus cowered under a patch of snow. I sighed and shook my head, I then grabbed my sword and hatchet and readied myself for combat, the leading wolf got ready to spring as the two lackeys continued forward, all while growling and baring their wooden fangs. they began to circle me and when there was one on either side of me they all sprang at me, the two on my sides sank their teeth deep into my legs as the leader sprang for my neck, I was able to stop the creatures mouth with my sword and while it was biting onto my blade I snapped off its head with a strong hit from my hatchet, I then grabbed the wolf on my left leg while swiping at the wolf on my right leg. When I detached the wolf from my left leg I readily cut off its head, when that was over I was met with another set of vicious fangs biting onto my left arm, this and the added weight on my right leg made me scream out in pain. I used the hatchet in my right arm to break its head in half and sever it from my arm. I watched as the wolves healed back up and realized that I was out matched, I grabbed the Pegasus and (while tearing up) opened the door and got us inside before slamming the door shut and locking it tightly. When that was done I sat down and looked myself over, There were several gashes on my left arm spewing blood quickly, both my legs were cut and punctured with teeth marks and bleeding rapidly, and when I tried to stand the wounds ripped open, revealing a lot of the veins in my legs as well as (in some parts) my bones. I screamed and fell, a pool of blood gathering around my body. As my vision was starting to fade from the pain I heard the Pegasus rush over franticly talking, but I couldn't focus on her words as I finally passed out. When I woke up I found my shirt had been taken off, my legs, left arm, and right hand were also bandaged, although sloppy it was enough to get the job done. I slowly got up and regretted it because I instantly felt my entire body flare up with pain as I fell back on the bed, my eyes teared up as the pain coursed through my body. As I sat there the door opened up and the Pegasus walked in, When she saw me she gasped and ran over and pushed me back on the bed all while telling me that 'you needed to stay in bed' and that 'you were injured to badly to get up now' then she said something that really shocked me, "I'm surprised that you have wings, especially when I've never heard of anything like you before," all I could do was stare at her like she was crazy while my jaw gaped at what she said. "Umm... I don't know what you're talking about, I don't have wings," I stated while still staring at her, then she sat me back up and turned me around, then I felt a hoof run over a strange appendage on my back and then pulled out a feather from my back, making me gasp. I stared at it before looking at my back and noticing a pair of obsidian black wings on my back, then when I felt the mare run her hoof over my wing, I felt a small volte of pleasure and both my wings sprang out word, thoroughly freaking me and her out . she blushed as she slightly giggled at my problem, I on the other hand was slightly freaked out by the fact that I randomly had wigs on my back, not to mention the fact that they were fully erect. she then began to go into a full on laughing fit as I continued to freak out and try to push my wings back inward. After a somewhat long time she explained what happened to my wings and finally told me that her name was Fluttershy. After our talk it finally hit me "Hey how come you rubbed my wing that way if you knew they'd react that way?" I asked, slightly mad she had done that. "To see if you were being honest about your wings, anypony with wings knows about that and would have reacted differently," She responded while smiling. Before we could continue talking we heard a knock at the door, "that must be twilight and nurse Redheart, I had my friend angle bunny deliver a letter to the both of them, I'll be back soon," she said as she got up and walked out of the room, I heard mumbling coming from downstairs, but I was to tired to care and went back to sleep. I passed out the instant my head hit the pillow. ********************************************************************************************* (Third person) Twilight rushed up to Fluttershy as soon as she saw her coming downstairs. "Fluttershy, we got your letter and came over as quickly as possible to help, also was that blood in the snow outside?" Twilight said hurriedly as Redheart just sat their silently. Fluttershy only motioned for them to follow her upstairs and into Fluttershy's room where Jack lay asleep. "Huh, he was awake a moment ago, must have been to tired to stay awake," said Fluttershy as they neared the bed. Twilight used her magic to lift the blanket and to discover a strange looking human under the blanket, covered in bandages that were stained lightly with fresh blood. As Twilight looked him over he started to grumble and open his eyes. ********************************************************************************************* (First person) I slowly opened my eyes again only to be met with the face of a purple unicorn with wings and with dark purple hair and that had a single violet streak running down her hair. I let out a slight startled scream and painfully fell out of bed, feeling two of the wounds on my legs re-open. I felt a strange sensation all around my body as I saw the unicorns horn glow with a violet light and then I started to float up as my body spread. "OW, what the heck, what's happening?" I asked as the pain coursing through my body was nearly enough to knock me out cold. I heard Fluttershy gasp and stop the unicorn from hurting me, I wish she hadn't because she broke the unicorns concentration and I fell to the floor, fortunately I landed on my blanket, though I still did land on the floor and felt an agonizing amount of pain, it wasn't as bad. Fluttershy and the unicorn's argument was interrupted by the previously quiet white pony. As I lay there I realized that I heard hoof beats coming towards me and then felt my bandages come undone before passing out again. ********************************************************************************************* (third person) All the mares but Fluttershy gasped at the sight, Fluttershy just shrank back and whimpered a bit at the sight. Most of the legs were covered in stitches and some were freshly opened and releasing blood quickly. Twilight could only stare as she realized that she had probably caused some of the wounds to reopen and cause the man that much pain. He was just as Twilight remembered them from the world on the other side of the mirror. What made him so odd was his wings, and the fact that he was still a human even though he should have changed into a pony upon entering this world. "So twilight, do you know what he is?" Asked Fluttershy as nurse Redheart tended to his wounds. "Well I can say he reminds me of the humans from equestria high, but they didn't have wings, and he would have turned into a pony if he had come through a normal portal.... I think," said Twilight as she continued to study the human. After he was completely bandaged and re-stitched the three mares put him back in bed and left the room. Nurse Redheart promised to be back daily to check on the human and Twilight left to message the princess of this new discovery. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ MLP: Friendship is Magic - © 2015 Hasbro Author's Note (please ignore the authors note below this one.)My first ever story, so be sure to judge away so that I can improve upon my skills and become a better writer, also help decide the romance, leave comments on who should end up together and those with the most votes will be together. except for jack and who I've already planned for him to be with.

I did go outside to work on my physical therapy and get to learn how to fly, but that only lasted around 5 hours at anytime, otherwise I was forced to stay in bed to heal. I would have left already but After having a head on demonstration of the power of a timber wolf, I couldn't leave Fluttershy here alone, so I continued to work on controlling my wings in private. I haven't eaten anything made of meat for the month and I chopped that down to being because I was in a world inhabited by mainly herbivores, though I did miss eating bacon. As I woke up again, ready for my new routine set for the day, I was greeted to the sight of a violet colored face, swirled purple and violet eyes, and a purple mane with white streaks covering my vision. Rather than screaming, I usually just, jump really badly at these kinds of surprises. 'THUD!' I instantly was in the air and slammed my head into the ceiling, managing to leave an imprint on the wood of the ceiling. "Oww, what the hell, who are you and why were you watching me in my sleep?" I asked, rubbing the back of my head to sooth the pain, I then noticed she was still staring at me and slowly starting to smile. "You remind me of my daddy, Discord, my names screwball," She said starting to hover over to me. I then noticed how she was hovering, A propeller hat was spinning on her head and causing her to lift off the ground, which should have been impossible due to her lack of a horn for magic and wings to fly. I began to scratch my chin as I began to think over her earlier comment of me reminding me of her father. so I asked her why and she gave me an answer that agitated me. "because you look like chaos, and smell like chaos," she said while sniffing my arm, I pulled away angrily at her saying that. "I know I haven't gotten to shower much or brush my hair, but you don't have to be so rude about it, honestly," I said as I sighed. When I looked back she was just confused. "What does that have to do with what your magic smells like, yours smells like chocolate rain, just like my dads," she quietly said the last part as a tear ran down her cheek, so I put a hand on her shoulder, not wanting to risk Fluttershy walking into the room to find me with a strange child crying. I ran a hand through her mane, hoping that would help like it did when petting a pony in my world, though I didn't know if that worked in my world and was just guessing. I sat down and allowed her to lye down beside me, she rested her head on my leg as her crying slowly turned into snores as she fell asleep. A little later I heard a light knocking at the door and responded with a quiet "come in" as to not wake the sleeping child. As Fluttershy walked in she gasped, obviously surprised by the sleeping child, but as she looked at me her face held absolute shock. "What is it Fluttershy?" I asked, I was confused by the look on her face, it wasn't a bad look or a good look. Her gaze was full of concern, and of knowing, as though she knew who the child was. "S-s-screwball?" she asked, tears in her eyes, she asked the question as though asking if the pony in front of her was a good friend that came back from the dead. Screwball woke up at the sound of her name being said, and smiled up at me before yawning and stretching. "I-it is you," gasped out Fluttershy before scooping Screwball up in a hug. I just sat there as Fluttershy and the young pony hugged and cried together. "So how do you two know each other?" I asked, interrupting them. They both looked at each other before Fluttershy explained that Screwball was the daughter of Discord, a chimera like creature that is more akin to that of a god of chaos (at least that's the connection that I made), and that after her and the other elements of harmony had sealed Discord away, he forgot about her. "and what about screwball saying that I have magic and that it smelled like 'chocolate rain', what does that mean?" I asked, not expecting any form of answer that made sense. "well maybe like your wings you have magic and didn't know," She suggested, 'dammit, that made sense' I thought to my self. So I tried to make something magical happen, but as expected, nothing happened. I continued there trying to make something happen, but after 5 minutes of nothing happening, I just sat down. "Nothing happened," I stated blankly, a little upset to not have a newfound ability to use magic. screwball just started laughing and spinning in the air. After 2 whole minutes of laughter I asked " what's so funny," and was only met with more laughter. "cut that out kid," I said, feeling my anger rise. "Y-y-y-you looked s-s-so funny," She stuttered between laughs. I then realized she was laughing at the way I tried to use magic and started laughing myself. That's when I realized that somepony's voice had been missing for a while, Fluttershy wasn't in the room anymore and the door to the room was left open. a moment after the realization hit me, Fluttershy walked into the room with nurse Redheart. "I just explained to Fluttershy that today would be fine for you to leave, and it's a good thing to because the princesses want to see you soon," explained nurse Redheart as she entered the room, followed by twilight. I thanked my lucky stars that I could see somewhere else than the area around this cottage. But I soon remembered the Timberwolves. "But what about Fluttershy, what if the Timberwolves come back and she isn't protected?" I asked, and regretted asking. After I asked my question twilight pulled out a chalk board from seemingly no where 'damn magical ponies' and began to explain to me for the better part of 2 whole hours about the hunting habits of Timberwolves and how the main reason they would leave the forest is if they were stalking prey and followed it out. I thought about it and realized that the only reason the Timberwolves attacked before, was because they were after me. "can I come with you, I'll be good," voiced screwball who had been silently watching until then. Both nurse Redheart and Twilight seemed shocked that she was there, but I only chuckled at the little girls question. I was about to say yes when I noticed Twilight pull Fluttershy away and start whispering in her ear, I tried to hear what they were saying and while focusing, I missed nurse Redheart trot up to me and sit down next to me. "So, who's the filly?" asked nurse Redheart in a hushed tone. I began to describe the events of the morning and who she was, but before I could finish there was a loud knocking on the front door that made me stop my explanation. I then heard a voice say something I couldn't understand but I could tell that the voice was masculine at the owner of the voice was male. "I'll get it," said Fluttershy before getting up and trotting out of the room. I looked around and at Screwball who was obviously nervous about something. "Hey, Screwball, what's wrong kiddo?" I asked 'I hope she's okay' I thought, but she seemed to calm down when I walked over. "The pony at the door, I already know that it's my dad, Discord," she explained, seeming to tense up again. I sat down next to her and started to comfort her, telling her that it was okay to nervous with how he was portrayed. as I was comforting her a realization came to the front of my thoughts and I realized that a month ago, I never would have been doing this, comforting some little girl, normally I wouldn't have cared. 'what the hell's wrong with me' I thought as I continued to comfort the filly. After a while Fluttershy returned with a 8 foot tall, chimera like creature that looked right at me. "Ah, so your the new creature in equestria, I hope you haven't done anything to upset my friend Fluttershy when she was nice enough to help you out," said discord before disappearing and re-appearing next to me before whispering into my ear, "by the way, good job handling those Timberwolves, you only managed to become a chew-toy rather than die," 'what the hell, why does he sound so much like John De Lancie, and act like his character Q' I thought to my self before giving a half hearted 'thanks' to Discord and turning my attention back to the filly next to me. She was pressing herself next to me, seemingly hiding from her so called 'father'. "hey, Discord, do you have any kids?" I asked as turned my attention back to him. "ha-ha-ha-ha, I have no descendants, I have no need for children since I'm immortal," Responded Discord before going into a large laughing fit. I looked over to Screwball and saw tears in her eyes, and I felt something strange, something I hadn't felt for so many years, I felt pity for another living creatures suffering. I could feel my hand clench and I felt a desire to make Discord look at his daughter, to make him say sorry, to make him pay for making her cry. This feeling was so new to me, I had watched so mush suffering, so much pain, so much heartache, and never felt the slightest bit of pity. 'What is this world doing to me, why the hell do I care, my own mother bawling her eyes out didn't make me flinch, my own father slowly wilting away didn't make me shed a single tear, and my closest friends slowly dying one by one around me didn't make me feel anything but wet from my blood stained clothes, so Why, The, Hell, DO, I, Care!' I screamed at my self in my own head feeling my anger slowly rise, my blood pumping, my ears ringing. I stood up and slowly walked towards Discord. Then I blacked out. ********************************************************************************************** (third person) All the mares in the room gasped at the sight before them. As Jack stood up he began to change before them, his black wing slowly changed to that of a bloody, crimson red. His brown eyes turned to a dark, endless black, and his light brown hair that seemed to flow down his head like melted chocolate, now turned the same blood red as his wings and stood up like spikes. the air slowly tuned colder as Jack changed and all the mares could have sworn they felt a strange sense of hatred in the air. Discord only looked at Jack as he began to walk towards him, jack slowly grabbed his sword and continued his path to towards Discord at that of a snails pace. When Jack reached Discord he raised the sword and prepared to strike Discord, every mare in the room was about to scream for Jack to stop, but Discord had other plans. Before the sword could hit Discord a table flew across the room and his jack right in the right side of his head, shattering on impact, causing Jack to fall to the floor instantly. All the mares remained frozen in fear except for Screwball who ran over to Jacks side and cried while sitting next to him, nudging his hand and face with one of her hooves. All mares, in their states of fear, missed it as Jack transformed back to normal and slowly opened his eyes. ********************************************************************************************** (first person) I slowly opened my eyes and began to feel a heavy throbbing in the right side of my head. I reached up my hand and clutched at the right side of my head, moaning in pain I began to sit up only to be launched across the room and into a wall. I heard screams but they were muffled do to the pain of slamming into the wall. I felt something similar to a hand rap around my throat as I began to lift off of the floor. Then I heard the muffled voice of Discord (because he was the only other male in the room besides me) and one of the mares arguing. I dropped to the floor before I could pass out, and I began gulping air as fast and heavily as I could. Discord then approached me and asked me, " what happened to you and why did you try to attack me?" I only responded with a 'what the hell do you mean' as I continued to gulp in air. I felt my head get pulled up to look Discord in the eyes as he calmly spoke out, " I mean when your wings and hair turned blood red, your eyes turned black, and you stupidly attacked an immortal spirit of chaos with nothing but a simple and weak sword," I only stared at him before everything slowly clicked into their places and I understood, 'that must have happened while I was blacked out, what's happened to me' I thought to my self before getting let go. I looked around the room and saw the horrified looks all the ponies gave me as they slowly backed away, all but Screwball who slowly walked towards me with tears in her eyes. For some reason the tears in her eyes and look of fear on her face made my heart twist and hurt in my chest. When she got to me she slowly put her hooves around me in a hug, I had always pushed people off of me when they tried to hug me, sometimes even punching or kicking them to get them to back off, but I felt strangely calm in her embrace. I could only connect this to the feeling a father would feel after making his daughter cry and then be quickly forgiven. I couldn't even respond as I felt all my energy leave with the small anger still left over and I felt my body slump over once more before passing out, again. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ MLP: Friendship is Magic - © 2015 Hasbro //-------------------------------------------------------// the judgment of the sun and moon //-------------------------------------------------------// the judgment of the sun and moon Chapter 3 I woke up after what felt like hours of unconsciousness, when I finally woke up and found myself in a bed that was much softer than any other I had ever awoken in before. I began to scan the room I was in and noticed 10 other beings in the room with me. the room in itself was a simple setup, with only the bed I was on, a decent sized dresser to my left, and a large table with a mirror on it. the walls were a pristine white and the ceiling was around 8 feet high while the room looked to be somewhat decent as it looked to be around 15 foot by 12 foot. I recognized 3 of the ponies in the room with me, there was Fluttershy, Twilight, and Screwball then there were the other seven. One of the ponies was orange with bright blond mane/tail and had emerald green eyes with her cutie mark being that of three red apples, she also wore a Stetson, which I found slightly weird. Another was bright pink with a slightly darker pink mane/tail and bright blue eyes with her cutie mark being that of three balloons, two blue with yellow strings, and one yellow with a blue string. The third was a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow mane/tail and magenta eyes with her cutie mark being that of a cloud with a lightning bolt of blue, yellow, and red. The fourth was a marshmallow white unicorn with a royal purple mane/tail that was overly styled and sea blue eyes with her cutie mark being that of three diamonds. the fifth wasn't even a pony, there was a purple creature with green spike running down its head and back to its tail, it had a very light green stomach and fin like ears, it lastly had emerald green eyes, sharp teeth, and no cutie mark. the sixth was an extremely tall alabaster unicorn, Pegasus mix that had to be taller than me, maybe even over 6 feet tall, she had a blue, pink, and green mane/tail the seemed to flow in non-existent wind and light purple eyes with her cutie mark being that of the sun, she wore a regalia with a purple crystal in the head piece and necklace, so I could only assume it was one of the two princesses, princess Celestia. The final was another tall unicorn, Pegasus mix that had to be around my height, she was royal blue with an ethereal flowing blue mane/tail that was filled with sparkles that shone light stars in the night sky, she had brilliant sky blue eyes with her cutie mark being that of a crescent moon in the night sky, she had black regalia minus her hoof caps which were lighter blue, and her necklace had a white crescent moon in the center, I could only assume she was the other princess, princess Luna. When I was done looking around the alabaster , alicorn ?, Celestia, if I remember those correctly, started to talk in a soft and motherly voice, "hello, I am princess Celestia and these are Twilight sparkle, Twilights number one assistant Spike the dragon , Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow dash, Pinkie Pie, Apple jack, Screwball, and my sister princess Luna, we are very pleased to meet a new species like you, but, we are not pleased to have heard of your attack towards Discord," she spoke. I thought it over and realized that I had heard all those names before from both Twilight and Fluttershy. Then it hit me 'crap, these are all the elements of harmony, and the princesses of the day and night' I thought to myself. I got up into a standing position and all but the three mares that already new me already gasped when they finally saw me fully for the first time. As I had done everyday when I awoke I took my shirt of and stretched my wings out to their full length, feeling the sore muscles under the feathers start to relax. After I stretched out my wings I looked back at all the mares and saw that all the pegasi and alicorns, minus Twilight and Fluttershy, had their jaws dropped and were staring at where my wings once were. 'I wonder, do wings like mine have some sort of sex appeal, like how mine are much larger than all but the two princesses' I thought to myself and immediately felt a bit of my old, sadist self as I smiled evilly. "Like what you see?" I asked as I started to flex the muscles in my wings, and I swore I could see that everypony with wings were drooling, all but Celestia and Fluttershy, Celestia looked unamused until she saw Lunas face and she slowly started to laugh louder and louder, while Fluttershy just giggled quietly. I stopped my showing off and fell back rolling on the floor laughing my ass off as the mares all came back to their senses and saw me laughing on the floor. When I noticed the anger in their eyes I forced myself to stop laughing and decided to attempt and defuse the situation, "ok, ok, ok, look, I'm sorry, so please calm down before you do something you regret," I pleaded as I got up off of the ground. The one I remember as Rainbow Dash trotted over to me, turned around, and struck out both her hind legs. I could tell she was aiming for my gut, unfortunately, she struck more south than most guys would have liked, "AHHHH!!!, GOD DAMMIT! WHAT THE HELL! YOU HIT ME RIGHT IN THE NUTS!!!" I yelled out in a high pitched and pained voice while clutching my crowned jewels. "Serves you right," Said Rainbow Dash angrily, until she looked back at me and saw the many tears rolling down my face as I rolled around on the ground clutching my sore nuts and quietly whispering f*** over and over again. "umm, are you going to be okay?" she asked as I slowly got back up and shot her a glare. "Yeah, just f***ing peachy, y'know, I just tease you a bit and apologize, then you hit me right in the most sensitive spot of almost all male creatures, so yeah, Just Peachy," I said with some venom in my voice. Rainbow Dash quickly backed away from me and just gave a sincere 'sorry 'bout that'. I waited a good 10 minutes for my balls to stop hurting because ponies can kick hard. "So where am I anyway, and what happened with me and Discord, he seems like a guy I would actually enjoy hanging out with, well, except for some things,' I said as the pain finally subsided from my body and I stood back up to my full height. 'man, I can't believe that I didn't pass out, the one damn time I want to be knocked out, and I have to stay conscious the whole time, screw my luck' I thought to myself as I dusted off my pants. Princess Luna walked over to me, and I could only guess she would be pissed with me if not for the fact that I just got nailed full force in the nuts. "You are lucky outsider, Discord has put the judgment of your attempt on his life under myself and Celestia, so speak your defense and we shall tell you our verdict on what your punishment shall be," she said with chilling amount of calm and authority. I started from when I first encountered the wolf like shadow creature and up until I blacked out. I described the strange hatred I had felt, the want to hear him apologize to screwball for acting like she didn't exist, "well what about your family outsider, were you happy with them or were you unhappy?" She asked me. "My family was not what you would call a 'perfect' example of kinship, my mother went insane when I had reached my 7th year of education and me, my dad, and my sister had to leave the house. One of my brothers was taking advantage of her mental illness to get money and drugs, but after a few years he straightened out and was better, but not my mom. My other brother was always ok, he would barrow money and not repay it, but he was good, he had gotten married and had a daughter before I left, and my sister was always just as normal as any sister, but my dad always made sure to protect us and made sure we were loved and cared for, so I have mixed feeling about my family and whether or not I was happy or unhappy," I explained as all the mares and one dragon listened intently. "what of your mother?" asked Luna, "she never got the help she needed, it wasn't because it wasn't offered, she always refused any help and soon just fell apart, until the day she just ended her life," I answered without emotion, I never felt any pain over my mothers death, I always thought it was because I just didn't care about her, until I realized her insanity had broken me, and left with nearly no sense of empathy, until now. "It doesn't matter, is there a way for me to get home, I need to face the shadow before he can destroy anything, there is, isn't there?" I asked, unsure of my chances. though my only answer was a simple 'follow me' from Celestia, I felt slightly happy that I would get to go home and fight the shadow. After a long walk down many hallways that had many tapestries and stained glass windows depicting many events of equestrian history we came upon a large set of doors with a guard on each side of the doors. Celestia went over and whispered into the ear of the guard on the left side of the door and the two guards opened the doors to reveal a large room filled with random items covered in sheets, so I just assumed it was a storage room. As I looked around the room I noticed a large mirror at the center of it, the mirror looked like a horse shoe that was decorated with crystals, added onto the top of the mirror was a picture depicting an earth pony standing up on its hind legs, and the base of the mirror was circular and adorned all the way around with more horse shoes. Celestia walked up to the mirror and began to explain what it was, "This is a strange mirror that both me and my sister know little about other than what my pupil Twilight has told us from her previous trips through, from what we've been told, your world of humans lays through this mirror, and all you have to do is walk through it," she said and moved for me to walk through, but I was confused about two things. "What of my items and punishment?" I asked, both wanting my items and curious as to why they would let me leave so easily when I was being judged for a crime. my first desire was met after I asked the question, a guard walked into to room caring all the items had brought when I had ended up in here. "You are not to be punished since you are leaving us now," answered Luna, leaving me with no other questions. I put on my shirt, grabbed all my gear, and said goodbye to the three mares that I knew in the room before walking over to the mirror. I stood at the base and took a deep breath before stepping up and into the mirror. ************************************************************************************************** (third person) Jack walked up to the mirror while taking a deep breath, he then started to walk up to the mirror, but as soon as his foot came in contact with the mirror, he was repelled back with enough force to send him across and into the doors of the room. When Jack impacted with the door it cracked and shuddered against his weight, nearly breaking off the hinges. All the mares and spike ran over to Jack, only to find him knocked out on the floor, bleeding from a cut on his right arm that seemed to be created by an opened knife that had been in his backpack when he hit the door. Celestia and Luna began to scan Jack and both gasped at what they found. "It seems his soul has been tethered to the universe now, probably due to this shadow creature that Jack described," said Luna as Fluttershy began to help bandage Jacks arm and Screwball began to check that he was breathing. Screwball found that Jack was still breathing and released a happy sigh that he was alive. "well then, it seems that this human only has one option so..." Celestia said, taking a slight pause. Both the princesses then said in unison, "Jack shall become a citizen of equestria". __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ MLP: Friendship is Magic - © 2015 Hasbro //-------------------------------------------------------// work in progress //-------------------------------------------------------// work in progress I am cancelling this story and shall be re-working it with the hopes of making it better. The pacing shall be redone as to make the flow easier to follow, and the character shall be slightly fixed so he is a bit more rational (sorta). Any way if you actually care about the story then just watch because the moment that this is uploaded and I change the story to cancelled I will submit the other one. Also the main antagonist will be worked on as well so he isn't a rhyming piece of shit that doesn't make any sense even to his creator, so see you in the next one.
