Chapter 1: Learning who he is
I am Thrain Craig, I am what they call a rifter. I can travel between two bodies, one of them is here on Earth, the other one is in Equestria.
I would normally be happy about this, but a private corporation took me at the age of 5 along with 50 other rifters. They experimented on so that we could open a portal to that world. If we do that the company will be able to take the world easily, they will use the ponies in slave labor and mine out the planet for monstrous profit.
Sadly during the first ten years of experiments 49 of us died, I am the only one alive, I am 20 now and I haven't left this facility for 15 years.
I am literally a lab rat to them, I have been fed as a dog, and dissected multiple times, I know they have taken my lungs in and out over 3 times.
Now in Equestria I am a pegasus with a blue and yellow mane, I have tan fur, and my eyes are brown. I am 20 there as well, I am also married to the most beautiful alicorn princess. Her name is Luna and she can raise and lower the moon with ease, I agree with her a lot.
My life in Equestria is dream while my life on Earth is a hell born nightmare.
I wish I could stay in Equestria forever, the experiments hurt, but I have found a way to divert the pain and think like I am now. Currently they are pumping my veins with electricity, that increases my power ten fold, I don't know why but it just does.
I am not allowing them to get to Equestria, what they don't know is that I can control if I want to use the power or not, they are trying to force my power to make a portal, but it's all for not.
Oh looks like they are about done, that's all the deep meditation for now. "Hey get up freak!"
One of the security guards picked Thrain up and dropped him on the floor, "GET UP FREAK!" He yelled again, Thrain did what he said and got up.
Every nerve of his body was aching, he walked back to his cage to sleep for the night, this was the last one today. The guard took Thrain by the collar and threw him into the cell, he said, "good night freak, heh heh."
The doors slid shut and Thrain was lying on the floor, he thought, "If only I could tell Luna, she would be able to help, but they monitor everything I say and do, if I do something to let the equestrians know about this place or me they will activate the kill switch and kill both of my bodies.
You might be wondering how I transfer bodies, well it happens when I sleep, when I do sleep my mind transfers to the other one, but the body I am not in is quite literally a corpse, though it does not decompose nor rot at all, time to sleep, see you all in Equestria."
As he said that his eyes closed and he drifted to sleep.
A second later he woke up in a bed, he was in Luna's room and in her single bed (>:)) she was sleeping peacefully on his chest, Thrain was a tall stallion, he was about Luna's height, to be exact 5 foot 2.
Although human he is over 6 and a half feet tall, he took his hoof and stroked her mane, he loved that so much, it just felt, um, um, okay I can't explain it shut up.
He kissed her on her horn, she started to wake up, he said, "morning sleepy head."
She groaned and replied, "morning Thrain." Oh ya his equestrian name is Thrain while his human name I forgot years ago, I is call number 34 there, but I prefer Thrain.
After they got up and took a bath they walked over to the dining hall to join Celestia for breakfast, Luna told him, "I can't believe we have been married for a year now, it's so wonderful." Thrain replied, "I agree, it has been a dream come true."
Suddenly Thrain dropped to ground clenching his gut in pain, oh ya in his Equestrian body he has nerves. He yelled out in pain and died, Luna tried to save him, but failed miserably.
Back in the human world Thrain woke up on an operating table, one of the doctors said,
"we have found out that you have been stopping us from opening a portal. For now on you will be going through 24/7 experimentation and you will not be allowed to sleep, activate the generator!"
5 days later:
They have been trying for a long time now, but Thrain still hasn't opened a portal there yet, he thought, "I can feel the ergh, pain surging through AAAAHHHHH, me. It hurts so much, I don't think I can AHHH, can hold back my power for much longer." He yelled out, "AAARGH!"
One of the scientists said, "subject 34 can't hold on for much longer, we are almost there."
Back in Equestria.
Luna was sitting next to her bed waiting for Thrain to wake up, she was used to his kind of sleep, but he never did that.
Celestia knocked on the door and asked, "Lulu, may I come in?"
She replied, "yes Tia." She used her magic and opened the door, she stepped in with Shining Armor and Princess Mi amore Cadensa aka Cadence.
Cadence said, "Luna we heard about what happened with Thrain, we came as soon as we could, we can't stay for to long. Our little bundle of joy is back in the Empire, has anything changed?"
Luna replied, "no, he's still in the deep sleep. I don't know what happened." Just as she said that Thrain's hoof moved a little bit and fell on the night stand.
Shining said, "his hoof Luna!" She looked and saw it on the night stand, she said, "wait, he want's me to open his personal drawer, I think?"
Celestia, Shining, and Cadence walked over to the stand, Luna opened the drawer, they expected to find some playcolt magazines (lol right). But all that was in there was a small recorder, Celestia said, "wait, why does he have a record player in there?"
Luna placed it on top of the night stand and pressed play.
"If you are getting this then the company has almost used my powers to open the portal to this world.
There is something I haven't told you because they would kill me and maybe you, I was born on the planet Earth before my body here was born, I can transfer my conscience between bodies, it happens every time I sleep.
There were 50 of us, at the age of 5 they took us and put all of us in experiments, I am the only one who has survived the experiments. Everyday they try to force my powers to open a portal that will lead them here.
Their intentions are to kill/inslave your kind and use how every many of you who survive for slave labor, they will hollow out this planet. Why, because they want money, this will generate a lot of money for the company.
I have been holding them back for about 15 years now, I barely had enough time to make this recording.
Please, if any humans come through a portal with weapons and saying that they are part of a corporation, run as fast as you can, they can't be stopped. They have to much money and, oh god they have almost fixated on me I got to go, I will always love you Luna, that is why I have gone through 15 years of torture/experimentation."
The recording stopped, Shining asked, "what did we just hear?" Celestia replied, "I don't exactly know, but the Thrain we thought we knew has another life, literally."
Luna said, "I think I know what's happening, no time to explain, but we need to make sure we don't let them come here."
Back on Earth.
Thrain was now having radiation pumped into his blood stream, he was yelling out in pain. He yelled out, "PLEASE STOP! THIS IS INHUMANE!!!"
One of the scientists walked over to him and said, "it would be if you were human, freak. Pump up the radiation to max!"
The nurse ran over and told him, "sir, that much could kill him, the company won't like that one bit." The scientist replied, "I don't care, if he dies we go and find more rats, now crank it up!"
The radiation was now flooding into his system, Thrain yelled out, "ARRHHHHH NOOOOOOOO!!"
As he said that a green portal started to form, after a minute it was just big enough for two people to walk through with no issue.
The scientist yelled, "STOP THE RADIATION NOW!" The radiation stopped and was being pulled out of his system for further testing, he said, "alright you two security go through and make sure it's okay to send reinforcements."
They nodded and just as they were about to cross the portal shoved them back with an invisible wave, one of the guards said, "sir, we can't something is stopping us." Thrain replied, "it needs me to go through, once I go through it will stabilize."
The scientist said, "alright you two take 34 with you, don't worry all the radiation was pulled out of him and he is to weak to do anything."
Over in Equestria.
They were talking about what to do when Thrain's body started to hover, Cadence asked, "what is happening?!" His body shot out a green pulse that stuck to the wall making a portal, it fell back down on the bed.
Luna said, "oh no, they got him to open the portal." Right after she said that 6 beings came through, 4 of them looked like they were soldiers, one of the humans in the center had a lab coat on and threw the one dressed in what looked like underwear covering his privates.
He looked beat up, damaged, and abused, it said, "I'm sorry Lulu, I tried, but they pumped to much radiation into me." Her eyes widened, she asked, "Thrain, is that you?"
Sadly just as she said that the one in the lab coat said, "kill them and wait for reinforcements."
They nodded and pointed their weapons at the ponies. Celestia, Shining Armor, and Cadence all teleported away, Luna first grabbed pony Thrain and then teleported away.
The guards were shocked, the scientist said, "search the castle, kill all of those.... ponies, but leave a few alive for future studies." They all nodded and left the room.
Chapter 2: Explanation and rescue
The security killed about 20 royal guards and captured the rest for " non human experiments", but they couldn't find the princesses. Oh ya all the citizens ran away when they heard gun shots.
Thrain was forced back into his own dimention and scedualled for more experiments, though he was allowed to sleep for the night.
He reawoke in his Equestrian body, he looked around, but found nopony there. He got up with a groan, he said, "ugh, I need to find Luna." He opened his wings and flew out the med wing to find her.
After a few minutes of passing a few guards and servants he realized that he was in the crystal empire, Thrain knew where exactly he needed to go.
Once he got to the royal chambers, he stood in front of the door, "what are they going to ask, I hope no questions because I am not sure I want to nor can answer them." He took a deep breath in, and out, He pushed open the doors, Cadence and Shining Armor were sitting on the throne talking with Celestia and Luna.
Shining Armor looked at Thrain and said, "Thrain, what happened?"
They all looked at him, though Luna flew through the air and hugged him, "what happened Thrain, why did that human talk to me like you do?"
Asked Luna, Thrain replied, "well, it is a long story, but I since that I will have to tell it anyway. I am a rifter, that means that I can switch my mind from one body to another, it happens when I sleep, the body goes limp and pretty much is dead.
In my equestrian body I am married to a beautiful princess, I have everything I have ever wanted.
But when I travel to my human body, well, when I was 5 a private corporation had interest in me along with a few other kids, sadly all of them are dead, but they took me from my house and treated me like a lab animal.
Everyday is get up in a cold metal cell, eat some mush that I can't describe, I get taken to the observation table where they administer numerous tests, some include electroshock therapy at 1000 volts. Injecting me with various things to increase my mental power, dissection and putting the part BACK in me when they are done.
Oh also there are many more that would make you all throw up such as drowning me, burning me, injecting radiation into me, and some days they get lazy and don't use anesthetic for the dissection.
My life over here is a dream come true, the other one an endless nightmare of pain."
All of them were just staring at him in shock, a minute later Celestia asked, "why are they here Thrain?"
He looked down and spoke, "profit.
They see this planet as slave labor and money from mining out this planet, much like how they are mining out my planet today."
He started to tear up, "what gives them the right to do that kind of stuff to you?"
Asked Cadence, "because it is all secret, and if any of the government finds out about it they just bribe them to forgetting about it, money can do anything in our world, one thing you all need to know is that the C.E.O of the company, he will stop at nothing to get profit and become the richest person on our world. Basically ruling it, all of you will die if something doesn't happen."
Luna was on the brink of tears, Shining Armor asked, "what can we do to stop them?"
Thrain sputtered out, "n-nothi-ng, with it's money and man power they are unstoppable." They all just looked at him.
"What? That is all I know, I am only a lab rat." Luna asked, "how can anypony be so cruel?!" Thrain replied, "because they don't care who or what they hurt, just that they don't get hurt and make money, it's stupid, but I am not the only one hurt by them.
They run all college debt, super markets, small businesses, and they even have salve labor in Africa."
Shining Armor asked, "well, how do you know all this?" Thrain looked down, "because in my human body I can read the minds of other beings, my human body is much more powerful than this body, maybe because they enhanced it so much, or maybe it was first, I don't know.
But what I can tell you is that the only way to stop them is to close the portal, ending the connection."
Said Thrain, Celestia asked, "why do I feel like there is more then just closing the portal, is there?"
Thrain looked at Luna and said, "it would mean killing my human body, and Equestrian body, killing me."
They all stepped back a little bit, killing the stallion that Shining Armor grew up with, the one who Luna married.
The stallion who introduced Cadence to Shining, and the one who always helped Celestia when she was slammed with work, "I don't want to die, but I will to keep all you safe, anything is better than what they did, this place, all of you. That is what has kept me going through the years, I'm sorry, but this is the only way to close the portal."
Luna was crying, Celestia was having to think, Shining was hugging Cadence, suddenly Thrain fell on the floor, Luna immediately jumped next to him, "i-i-it's th-h-hem they ar-e-e sh--oock--ing me bac-k-k to my hum-a-an b-o-ody, h-e-e-elp!"
Thrain was closed his eyes and transferred to the human body.
Back on Earth:
His eyes started to open to a painfully white room, he was in a straight jacket and some guy in a radiation suit had a needle in his hand, "this will keep you mutant awake," said the man.
He put the needle into Thrain's neck, now he did cringe a bit, though he didn't move, "you will never sleep again."
With that the man left the room leaving Thrain to root away. Though what they don't know is that Thrain has a secret power that none of the scientists know, he can teleport short distances.
He closed his eyes and in a second pop, he was outside the door with out his straight jacket, a security guard saw him and pulled out a taser gun.
He used his powers and the guard's head blew up leaving a bloody mess all over the walls, the body fell over and bleed out the top, "egh, that was cool and disgusting." He ran towards the portal.
After a few minutes of killing various guards and scientists he made it to the portal room, just as he got there the scientist who normally experiments on him stepped out and froze, "we have an animal out of containment, I repeat we hav-"
Thrain grabbed his throat and lifted him up, "w-what do-o you w-wan-t-t?!"
Thrain looked into his eyes and told him, "I want you to die, screaming for what you did to me, I am just a normal human, I might have been born with some extra stuff, but I am still a human. That means that I can kill or spare you, though sadly for you I want to kill you."
After that he tightened his hand and threw him to the side the scientist's neck was bruised, but still intact. Thrain walked through the portal, though before he could the scientist asked, "w-why did you let-t me live?"
Thrain looked at him and replied, "unlike you, I only hurt those who I have to hurt, not just for money, but for survival. You didn't pose a threat to me so I let you live, for now."
He walked through the portal leaving the scared scientist be.
On Equestria:
Shining Armor was on patrol in the crystal empire, Cadence was sleeping, Celestia was in her guest room trying to figure out how to stop them, Luna was getting her armor on (it is the same armor that was used in the fall of the crystal empire vid, link on the bottom of this page)
She was getting ready to do some recon at Canterlot, against Celestia's wishes.
Luna flew out a window, he mane was flowing beautifully in the wind.
After a few minutes she reached the now conquered Canterlot, there were guys with big guns all around so she used a little magic to turn invisible.
Once she got to the castle entrance she heard some gun shots, "braaa, braaaaa, bra." She saw a guard fall off her balcony and land next to her, he died before hitting the ground.
She thought, "what's going on?" So she flew up to her balcony only to find the human who was Thrain's other body, she hoped. S
he landed down and uncloaked, the thing brought his gun up and pointed it at her, once he saw it was her he lowered his gun and said, "L-Luna? Is that you? It's me, Thrain!"
She had to think for a second, "prove it, when and where did we get married?"
Said Luna, "that's easy, we got married when the changelings attacked Canterlot, we didn't get married, we eloped in Los Pegasus and you threw up all over a roulette wheel."
Luna believed it was him, only he knew she threw up, she did erase that memory from everypony. "It is you!"
She flew over and hugged him, he hugged her back. Luna asked, "h-how did you get out?"
He lightly kissed her and replied, "I have powers that they don't know about, this body, like I said, is far stronger then my Equestrian body." Just as he says that three guards run into the room from the portal, guns raised, "I got this honey," said Thrain, he lifted his hand up and the guard's eyes just popped leaving them blind and in immense pain, they fell on the ground screaming.
Thrain had a smile grow on his face, while Luna stared in shock that her husband couldn't do something like that and like it. "Do you think we should go doll?"
Luna came back to reality and replied, "I do," Thrain got on her back and they flew back to the Crystal Empire, though on the way they landed on a cloud and made out for about thirty or forty minutes.
When they flew in front of the castle the guards surrounding it pointed their spears at Thrain, "don't, it's Thrain, long story," said Luna.
The guards looked at him for a sec and let them through.
