Ch.1 - Dude, I'm Totally 'Stoned'

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I slowly regained conscious, but when I open my eyes I was greeted by a bright light. I quickly closed my eyes and put a hand in front of my face. This time I decided to sit up and let my eyes adjust. When doing so I notice that I'm in a forest, a dense one at that. Once my eyes are adjusted I stand up and check my body over, nothing seems to be out of place, but I feel different, stronger in fact.

I disregard that when I start to hear some growling behind me. I quickly turn around to see several pairs of yellow glowing eyes. I automatically start to back up for my safety, and that's when they decide to move forward.

Now that they are in the light, I can now see that they are wolves made of woo- 'Oh my god, those are timberwolves' I then connected the dots.

They keep their steady approach towards me growling menacingly, ready to pounce any moment. Then all of a sudden I burst out laughing causing the timberwolves to look at me with confusion. I was serious when I said I'll laugh my ass off if I've been transported to a different world.

"Heheh- sorry, sorry! Right, timberwolves now... I'm fucked." I said as I backed up into a tree.

They continued their slow trek towards me, making it painfully slow. I thought it was all over, until I heard something deep inside me, a voice.

burn them

To say I was confused was an understatement. Then finally a timberwolf attempted to pounce me. I immediately shut my eyes and raised my left hand to shield me from the attack.

Instead of having my arm torn off, I heard a 'fwoosh' and then whimpering came afterwards. I open my eyes to that the timberwolf is on fire, but it wasn't just any ordinary fire, no, it was dark fire. Next thing I notice is that my hand had the same fire, though it didn't hurt.

I smirked triumphantly and managed to light both of my hands on fire. It was so strange that it felt so natural, like if I knew how to this all along.

The timberwolves then decided to all attack at once. My smirk just grew as I just lit them all on fire at once. Their whimpers soon died out when they quickly became ash.

I look back out my hands and had the simple thought of extinguishing them and viola, no more fire. With nothing having the intent to kill me now I sat down and gave some thought at the situation at hand.

'So I'm in equestria, unless there's another world with freakin' tree wolves out there. I have the powers of my character as well. I also hear voices in my head giving me advice. So that's neat... I wonder where I am in the timeline'

Then it hit me. "I have the powers of my character!" I look to where my sword should be and see the ever so epic gun sheath. "Sweet~." I then pull out the sword itself and immediately admire how the black blade shines and the eerie red markings on it. "Double sweet~."

masamune, the shape shifting demon sword

"There's that stupid voice again! Am I going crazy?" Getting slightly irritated

no

"Okay." I stupidly agree.

Whith that out of the way I put the blade back into its awesome gun sheath 'I can't wait to try this out!' I set out to do something much more important, food and shelter. I set out deeper into the forest to get the much needed necessities. 'Maybe I can find ponyville!


"Okay, I'll admit it, I'm not the best at foraging." I said to no one in particular.

I've been trying to find something to eat that's safe anyways. I'm not sure if I should trust these berries, I don't know if they're exactly safe to eat. I was however secretly hoping I'll find a manticore to cook.

duck

I oblige without questioning it.

Right as I had duck, a beam of light shot over me. Instincts then takes over as I quickly stand back up and turn around with my left hand on the trigger of the sheath and my right hand getting ready, confident that I can take on the bastard who tried to blast me.

I then saw who attcked me and I quickly lost confidence. There standing was no other than Princess Celestia AND Princess Luna, not only that but they were anthro, both of them wearing armor and weilding weapons. Celestia was in golden armor, weilding a golden spear that has a heavenly glow to it. Luna on the other hand is wearing a dark blue armor, weilding a black double edge sword with an dark mist coming from it.

dodge the light bearer at all cost

'Noted.' Giving me the ever so helpful advice.

let the dark magic hit you

'Uh, okay, I guess.' I question my sanity.

"Who and what art thou?" I mentally squee from hearing Luna talk.

"Um, my name is Wilby, Wilby Hinojosa." I did a little bow as well, just for the hell of it.

"And what might thou be?" Hearing Celestia speak olden must point that this is before Luna turned.

"I am a hu-..." Am I a human now? I began to smirk "I am one born of shadows, in fact, I am the last shadow warrior." I say as I take a more relaxing stance.

keep your guard up

I decided to ignore that piece of advice, I don't want to look like an enemy.

"Thou are evil, then?" Luna questions.

'Oh no, I see where this is going.' I put my hands up.

"Whoa whoa whoa, I'm not evil"

"LIES" I flinch at how loud Celestia was. Before I even recovered, she came out me at full force.

OPTIONAL MUSIC

Instincts took over and I quickly dodged to my left. Right after I dodged I pull out my sword and deflected Luna's attack. She seemed surprise but I didn't stop, I quickly kicked her away.

'Why did I do that? How did I do that?

"Sorry!" I automatically said.

Celestia shot another magic blast at me which I put my sword up to block. Surprisingly it did block, in fact the sword is now glowing.

you can absorb magic and send it back double the strength with your blade

'Maybe I should take it's advice.'

I then swung my sword towards her and a beam similar to hers fired back, but bigger. Celestia didn't have enough time to process it and got knock back into a tree.

"Um hehe, sorry." I'm pretty sure they are silencing me out.

Luna ran to her sisters side and aided her. When Celestia got back to her... feet? Hooves. Anyways when she got back to her hooves she and Luna shared a quick glance and nodded. Then all of sudden they both came at me, at the same time.

I quickly reacted and started dodging and deflecting both of their strikes to the best of my ability. Then all of a sudden, two shadows came out of the ground and stop their assault. We all looked suprise, but I took the initiative and sticked out my left hand to have some sort of shockwave come out, pushing the sisters backwards to the ground. They get back up and they start glaring at me. Luckily for me looks did not kill.

STOP MUSIC

Luna then flew in a semicircle to get behind me. My gaze followed her, instinct telling me to sheath my sword and rest my hand on the trigger. Right when she stopped, I immediately turn back around to see Celestia charging me with a smug face. But I didn't let her have her way, I knew they were gonna attack me from both sides.

Time slowed down. Waiting for the perfect time. Then her spear was right where I wanted it to be. I pulled the trigger. My sword shot out and cut straight through her spear. I didn't stop however to see her expression, instead I continued and saw Luna's sword just about to reach me. Of course, I cut cleanly through that as well. I managed to avoid the body parts thankfully.

Both were sent back from the from my momentum, looks of suprise on their faces... muzzles. Celestia went towards her sister when she recovered.

"Can we stop the pointless battle now." I spoke out, now that they're weaponless.

They shared another brief glance and nodded, they look back towards me. Then all of sudden the elements appear and start circling them. They were charging it, which gave me some time to myself.

stop them

'Nah, I'll let them do it, I want to be in the correct time.' I decided to let them hit me with the magical rainbow beam of doom, I mean I'll be stoned for 1000 years but I'm pretty sure it'll be worth it.

I then sheath my sword, rest my left hand on the handle of the blade and let my right hand hang near my waist, and last but not least, a simple smile.

'I'm ready for my sculpture.'

They then fired it at me and my everything became as hard as a rock.

'Now we play the waiting game. And I can also say I've been stoned once.'
