Chapters Chapter 1-This is my rifle this is my gun
It had been a oddly long Thursday especially after getting done helping my friend David unpack all of his and my stuff into our respected rooms of the apartment we just rented before coming to this convention. Someone wanted me and David to do this dress up thing for the release of Rainbow Six Siege. Our employer showed us pictures of the attacking characters that he wanted us to dress as. He explained that there were other people that were also hired to represent the defending characters. He had also said that he were allowed to add on some gear as long as the gear was in the game or it didn't merge to different characters gear.
Once we arrived at the convention our employer had told me, David, and a bunch of other people that had been selected that we could walk around and check things out as long as we came back for the presentation on time. But of course we had to wonder around in our outfits. I felt a little embarrassed about wearing my outfit but I didn't really have to worry much considering that I had a peace of cloth covering everything from my nose down to my neck. I was dressed up as a character named Glaz I picked him because of the small fact to I could breath somewhat normally and my face was well hidden, while some of the others wore gas masks and alike.
After I split up from my friend about 5 minutes ago and in that time span I had spent 20 dollars on a pair of colored contacts that made my eyes glow a bit. my right eye was blue but with the contact in it made it look like it had a light blue hue while the other contact made my left eye look orange with the same kind of effect but orange.
After walking for about another 5 minutes I came across a stall with a guy who look like the merchant from resident evil 4. "Hello stranger" He said in the same exact voice as the merchant from resident evil 4. "Anything you wanna buy?" He asked.
"I was wondering if you had any smoke grenade props?" I asked before I heard someone calling for me. I turn around and David was standing there with a box in his hand.
"Dude I lost my holster some how" He said. David had chosen Blitz as one of the attackers, he even had the shield with working lights and boy did those light work when he first used it he blinded me for 4 minutes straight.
I turn back to the merchant "Maybe I have a solution to your problem" he said motioning to the wall behind him that was covered in an assortment of weapons and gear that are from a bunch of different games but out of all of his assortment of gear I had not just seen holsters but some smoke grenades.
He looked to where I was looking and even though I could not see his face I could tell he was smile. "ah I'll sell that at a low price of 20 dollars each" He said.
I put my hand to my chin and think 'If I the then I can officially walk around and if he is telling the truth about the scope than that would be even better' I think to my self just before I look back at the bored to see two magnums below the sniper. "I'l give you 250 if you throw in those two silenced M9's plus a silencer with the rifle" I said and he stands there rubbing the side of his head.
He stop's rubbing his chin to say "You got a deal." To this I pull off my beanie revealing my copper colored hair, I take out my wallet out of a secret compartment. I open my wallet and pull out 250 dollars and hand it to the merchant.
As I get the rifle and the two pistols the merchant gives me coy smile and releases the weapons from his grip, and as he did so I dropped straight to the floor, or should I say through considering I never even hit the floor before realizing that I was now on my face in the middle of some forest.
I look around my surroundings to see a small green ammo box laying on the ground next to me with a note on it.
It read .
Have fun stranger .
'Well, that is... interesting.' I walk over and inspect the halo rifle and the two magnums that I had bought. I look them up and down before picking up the rifle only for it to fire off a round some how but made little to no noise thanks to the silencer. 'What the fuck' I thought to myself before trying to pick up the rifle a second time.
I would have been standing there much longer trying to figure out what was going on but an air piercing scream rang throughout the forest. I grabbed my bag that fell with me and stuffed the ammo in it before slinging the rifle, instantly knowing that it wasn't supposed to weigh more than at lest 5 pounds, over my shoulder and holstering the two pistols to my waist with the holsters that came with them just before I took off running towards the noise.
When I reached the screams I was at the on a small hill. As I looked around to find the the source of the screams and I see a few strange looking wolves surrounding some people that were about 80 or so meters away. I took this small chance to take off my backpack and open it. I pull out a ammo box and take a clip out and load it into the rifle. 'let's hope this works' I thought to myself as I pulled the trigger in time to see that one of those wolves had leaped at one of the three people. "well there wasn't as much recoil to that as I thought there would be" I said to no one in-particular.
As I look back down the sight I saw all the wolves scattered while the three people that were surrounded just stood their but from this distance I couldn't tell if they were to scared or not to move. I lower the rifle and made my way away from where I had took-in the shot from and to where the wolf was laying.
Once I had arrived at the area at where I had seen to three people like figures but did not see them, all I had seen was a pile of stick's 'I expected the those people that I had seen from before would had ran, but what happened to that wolf I shot?' I thought to my self as I hear a rustle in a nearby bush.
I had turned around to be met with a group of humanoid creatures, there were 6 of them and every last one of them was a different color but that wasn't the only thing. The purple one and the white one as well as the cyan and butter yellow one. the purple and white one both had horns on their head and the cyan and butter yellow one were flying with what looked like to be wings but the orange and pink one did not have either one of these appendages, as I look closer I could see that the purple one didn't just have a horn but also wings as well.
The purple one was shocked by something but I could tell that some how that she wasn't looking at me but something behind me. I turn around to see that the three figures I had saw earlier through my rifle scope, but they were as well some type of humanoid creature but that is not all I had figured out, one of them had a pretty bad wound on it's leg and the one with the wound one was just as white as one of the creatures behind me. 'I should do something or they might think I did that' I thought to myself not wanting to be attacked and maybe killed in a place I knew nothing about.
Before any of them moved I put my rifle down and take off my back pack and search through it to look for a small med-kit that I always carried with me, don't asked why. As soon as I found it I put my backpack back on and picked up my rifle and made my way to the three small creatures and opened the small med-kit. I pull out a medical grade disinfected wipe and a bandage, I wiped up the blood then rapped the bandage around it's leg.
After I was done with the small creatures leg I put the small med-kit back in my backpack and stood up, as I turn around to look at the group of anthropomorphic creatures They seemed very confused by my actions but after I got a smile from a yellow one I new I was good from there.
The purple one took a step forwards and talked "Creature I'll take it since you know somewhat of medical attention you know some sort of language" She said.
To tired to care I say "Yes I do know how to speak and I would like to ask you some questions" in a deep raspy voice while showing little to no emotions.
"Only if I can ask you some questions" She said. All I did was nod and she seemed satisfied by my answer.
The white one was looking around like there was something following her. "Twilight dear maybe you could get us out of this dastardly forest so we can get Sweetie belles leg looked at" she said with concerned in her voice.
The purple one perked up a little "Oh sure" The one that I assumed was Twilight said. The white one went over and picked up the one that I could now assume that was sweetie belle. As we walked I had this strange filling that I should know who they are, they sounded familiar they looked familiar even their names sounded familiar, but I just couldn't figure it out.
It felt like someone was right behind me, so I turn around to be met with a pink and super hyper creature "Hello my name is Pinkie Pie, what are you, who are you, where are you from, do you like parties" she said barely taking a breath of air every so often.
I did not answer verbally but I did nod and I think she knew what I meant by that and she gave me the biggest smile I have ever seen. I turn around and start walking in the direction they were going with the pink creature following right behind me.
After going through the forest and almost dying from said forest we finally made it to this small town that had a bunch of weird looking buildings, as I walk throw the town I saw that all of the creatures that I had I had learn were actually ponies were staring at me. In response I take the tip of my hat and pull it across my face just enough so that I could still see but they could not see anything above my nose.
I stop and think about my situation, knowing that this all looked way to familiar I look back at everything I have seen and what I know to try to figure out why this was so familiar. Then it hit me, their names, the colors everything made since. I was not just on a different planet I was in a different dimension, and what other than the dimension of a little kids show.
One of the girls was shaking me back and forth frantically "Hello?, kiddo ya there?" I heard someone with a southern accent asked.
I notice that the one shaking me was the orange pony that wore a stetson hat and red and white flannel (buttoned up) shirt with a pair of light blue jeans and a pair of cowboy boots. "uh yeah, why?" I asked even though I knew the answer.
She gives me a concerned look. "well darling it's just that you were just standing there for a few moments and you seem to be mumbling something and you where even clinching onto that weird stick of you'rs" The white one said from behind the orange pony .
"It's nothing, I was just thinking. It's nothing in-portent" I told them as I walked my way past them.
"Hey Twilight I have to go and get ready for tomorrow" the cyan pony said.
"And I have to go plan this little guy a 'welcome to ponyvill' party" the pinkie one said.
"I also have to leave so that I can go feed the animals" the butter yellow one said.
"And I must go check up on sweetie belle" The white one said before walking off.
After that everyone else broke off and went their separate ways for the day, all except the purple one "Well I guess that just leaves you and me" She said walking away and towards a large building made completely out of crystals. She stopped and turned around "Are you coming?" She asked. I nod an we made our way to the this really big crystal.
Chapter 2-questions and answers
Point of view 3rd
after they had taken sweetie belle to the hospital to get her leg cleaned up and fix the rest of the group had left but the purple horse and River they went to this castle that was made of a crystal, he stared at the giant not knowing how you would make something like that without the hole building collapsing.

RC: (that's fucking obvious)
Writer: (and there goes my wall, why you do dis?)
RC: (Deadpool gave me his approval to fuck with the writer)
Writer: (Screw this I'm out) Leaves room.
River was sitting on a really soft couch in a library that looked more like a study with a couple to a dozen book shelves in it. The purple one that he had met in the forest came in from another room and sat down across from him and set a cup of, what he could only assumed was tea, on the coffee table "would you like some tea?" She asked him.
"sure I haven't had much to drink since I got here" he said knowing that there was no point of trying to kill him if he had done nothing wrong in any way shape or from to her or to any of the people here.
She pores River a cup of tea and puts it on my end of the table. "So first question what are you?" She said getting a clip board and quill ready to write down my answers.
'so seeing from the first question I can assume that there are no other humans here, great' River thought to himself analyzing what lived on this planet. "I'm human" he said as she wrote down what he had said almost like it was his biography.
"Ok, next question what do you eat" She asked still not looking up from her clipboard.
He hesitated to answer knowing that these thing had to be vegetarians . "I eat plants and meat" The last statement seemed to make her twitch a little.
"did you say meat" she asked clearly uncomfortable by my answer.
River sigh deeply "yes I did, but it's not a requirement for me to eat it" that seemed to calm her down. "mind if I ask at least one question?" He asked.
"Sure" she said giving River a smile.
"Where am I exactly and I mean planet, country and or state" River asked knowing that he was no longer on any planet that neither he or anyone on earth knew of.
"well you're in equestria on the planet eques silly" she said laughing at what River had just said.
"That is very interesting" he said as he used his left hand to prop his head up and used his right hand to drink his tea.
she stopped laughing and just looked at him confused "What do you mean?" she asked.
River put the tea down and looks right at her, but also through her at the same time "well you see i'm not from here" she nods "what do you think I mean from that alone" he finished as he takes a look around the library.
she put her clipboard and quill down "that you are from another country or continent" she said taping her chine with her index finger.
"I mean I'm not from this dimension" River Stated as he takes another drink of his tea.
She seemed very ecstatic about this "Oh this is very interesting, what is you're world like" she said finally not writing everything he had said.
River sighs for the second time today "It really just depends on who you ask but if you ask me it is something that you should leave alone" he said.
This had confused her a little "why do you have to be so vague about stuff?" She asked clearly not happy about my answer.
River pulls his bag up from the side of the couch that it had been resting on "how about this" he said as he found what he was looking for, a android-phone with his blue and black head phones attached to them. "My world is full of machines, factories and because of the huge amounts of differences between religions and beliefs we have had many people die because of them" he said flipping through some pictures and showing her. He even shows her a video of a terrorist group executing civilians and not even half way through Twilight ran to the nearest bathroom to throw up.
"I have one more question for you" she said.
River lays back into the couch "and what is it?" he says while looking up into the sealing and sighing in relief knowing that the questions are almost done. 'how can someone ask so many question' River thought to myself knowing it has been at least an hour or two.
"what is your name?" she asked her final question.
"just call me River" River answered trying to keep as much of himself a secret.
She reaches over and take a firm grip and shakes it. "Twilight Sparkle, It's a pleasure to know you" she said.
'I feel like I should have known that already but why?' River thought to himself as I tried to figure out why her name sounded so familiar.
We release each others hand just as the front door to the library opens revealing a small purple lizard "Twilight I'm-" he stopped in the middle of his sentence as he saw him "- Um who is this?" the small lizard asked shaking where he stood.
Twilight looks happily at the small creature "Spike this is River and he's a human" she said gesturing her hand to me. All River does is give him the peace sign and he waves a little nervously obviously still uneasy around him.
River goes and reach for his backpack "hay spike do you like games?" River ask as he looks through his bag.
He looks at me a little confused by my question. "Sure" He said.
River smiled at his answer, as he found what he was looking for, he pulled out a PSP and toss it to him. He nearly dropped it when he caught it "Spike that is a gift from me to you, hope ya like it" River said putting his bag back down on the ground.
"What is this exactly?" he asked examining it.
River leaped up from the couch and walked over to the small dragon "Ok, this right here is a PSP, it means PlayStation Portable" He informed the small dragon "you slide this up and it should turn on" River said showing him as it on. 'Does he seriously not know how to use one, even I knew how to use this thing as soon as I saw it. oh wait that's right this world doesn't have the same tech as we do' River thought to himself.
You should have seen his face when he saw the game, He was hypnotized by it. River could tell by the gleam in the little lizard eyes that the game was a little to much for him to understand.
'lets go over what happened to me today, I was given a rifle and a pistols, I was transported probably because of said objects, I met a new species, and I was questioned by said species' River thought to himself as he made a mental list of what had happened that day.
River looks for a clock and notice that it was getting late. He grabs his stuff but was stopped by a voice behind him. "where are you going?" Twilight asked River.
River turned around to see that both Twilight and spike were looking at him "It's getting late so I was going to leave and make a camp out side of town" he said.
Twilight looked at River with a worried expression "It's to dangerous for somepony to sleep outside of town" she said shuffling around. "You know you could stay here for the night if you want." Offering him a place to stay.
River shakes my head "No I couldn't, I don't want to bother you or anyone else. Plus I never felt to good about getting help from others." He said explaining more than he wanted to.
Spike runs up and grabbed River's arm "Come on man, can't you just spend one night" spike said.
River looked to the small dragon, then to Twilight and sigh in defeat "Fine, so where do I sleep" River asked.
Twilight gets up from her chair and walks out the door into the lobby and up some stairs. "Up here" She said waving her hand indicating for him to follow her up the stairs. after walking a good 5 minutes they reach a orange door with a blue frame that is across the hall from a purple door with a weird symbol on it. "I hope that you find the room suitable for you to sleep in" Twilight said from over my shoulder, as River walks into the room he noticed that the bed was very clean and that the room it's self was very tidy besides the dust that was piling up on some shelves.
River turned around to look at Twilight and Spike "It's better than I expected." After putting his bag down next to the bed he walks over to a old work table that had caught River's eye since he got in here. "what was this for" he asked looking over all these bit and peaces that lade all over the table on top of a blue print.
Before River could take a closer look at them they were snatched away in a purple blur "It's just a hobby that I started since I have to much time on my hands" she said hiding the peaces of something behind her back.
River looked at her with a deadpan expression "and your hobby involves taking apart and resembling muskets?" he asked.
Twilight began to back up slowly "How do you know what this stuff for?" she said bumping into the wall and dropping the components.
"I know what that is because my hobby is guns" he said clearly annoyed that she was trying to hide this from everyone. River walked over to the bed and sat down "Why do you even care if anyone learned that you like to tinker with old weapons?" he asked.
Twilight gives River a confused look "What do you mean old? this stuff is something that the princess's top scientist made last week" she said. River began to laugh hysterically "What are you laughing at?" she asked unaware that spike was still there.
After River caught his breath he stood back up and walked over to his rifle that was now leaning on his bag. "Twilight-" he began as he picked up his rifle "this right here is a gun from my world and it's not even the most high tech weapon my world has made and it is still better that what your people has created" he finished.
"Is that what that is" Twilight looked in complete astonishment, to learn that the weird metal object that River had carried around was actually a weapon. "But why is there a cylinder on the top part, wouldn't that make it harder to see?" She asked but before River could answer a clock on the wall chimed in.
River looks from her to the clock to see that it was 12 o'clock in the morning "Twilight I would like to answer you're on growing questions but it's getting late and I'm sure that you are just as tired as I am" he said. "How about this" he said putting the rifle back down, "I'll give you a demonstration on why the weapon I have with me now is better than that musket and I'll give you one of my guns so your scientist can study it. Does that seem fair" He said.
"Of course" Twilight said as she exited the room, as she did she heard a small thud. She ran back into the room only to find that River was now laying on his stomach on the bed. Twilight gave a small chuckle and exited the room with spike right behind her leaving River to sleep in peace.
As Twilight awoke she could smell a sweet scent coming from down stairs. Twilight slowly got out of bed and went to find the source of the delectable smell. As she made her way through the door that lead into the kitchen she saw that Spike was up early and sitting at the table. She walked over to Spike "Spike whats going on" She asked.
Spike almost jumped out of his chair before he realized that it was only Twilight "Oh Twilight, RC said he was making some waffles and asked if I wanted some" Spike said as RC walked through a door holding some plates with waffles on them.
RC walked over to the table and placed two plates down, one in front of Spike and another in front of Twilight. "I don't remember asking for any waffles?" Twilight said a little confused.
RC sat down across from Twilight and spike "I just took a wild guess that you would want something to eat when you got up" RC said before taking a bite of his waffles.
Twilight takes a seat next to Spike and starts digging into her plate of waffles. "You know you didn't have to do this" she said before taking a drink of her orange juice.
"I know but think of it as a thank you gift for letting me stay the night" he said just before a pitch black portal opened up below him. "Oh shit" He yelled out in surprise, just before he fell completely through he noticed an Omanis looking figure standing above the hole toss his weapons in with him just before it closed.
"argh" RC grunted in pain from landing on the hard floor. He opens his eyes to be met with a circle of spears pointed at him "Why me" He said with a sorrowful expression and a surprisingly deep voice.
"what is going on here!" an unfamiliar male voice called out.
One of the guard turned to the source of the voice "This creature just appeared out of nowhere from a black portal" He responded.
RC stood up and in which caused all the guards to. "could you tell your guards to put these things down before they hurt them selves." He said before turning to a pale humanoid creature that had hair that seemed to flow in a none existent wind and atop his head was a crown but what really mad the picture was a dark purple one standing behind him almost like he was trying to hide.
He gives RC a glare that would cripple any one that had no back bone. "One I know of your intents then I shall tell them to put there weapons down" He said.
Realizing who they were he decided to take off his beanie and did a quick bow. "understandable, after all some unknown creature falls from out of now where, plus I would like to know why I'm here and not back at Twilight's eating waffles, I mean seriously-" He stopped to put a hand over his mouth to yawn "-someone could have waited till I was done eating." He complained but only chuckled at his predicament.
All the guards took a step back and stood at attention. "You know Twilight Sparkle?" The dark Purple one asked from behind the pale white anthro with a bite of surprise.
RC sighs "I'm guessing that this isn't the first time someone from her world was sent here" He said.
Before anyone else could talk any more two more people walk into the throne room. "Your highness whats going on here and who is this" The purple humanoid male that wore a black suit said. He was followed by a female human that was wearing a gray jacket with a black tank top and dark blue jeans with a pair of black a white sneakers.
Before RC could ask any other questions an explosion goes off from somewhere outside causing the castle to shake. RC grabbed his rifle and his two M9's from the ground before asking "Is someone gonna tell me what's going on?"
No one would answer the only thing they did do was move what ever that wasn't nailed to the ground in front of the big double doors. One guard was about to run pat RC but RC grabbed his arm before the guard could go anywhere. "What is going on" RC practically screamed in his face.
The guard was about to answer but before he could the giant double doors were blown off their hinges. RC leveled his two magnums at the door as a horde of black and green insect type of anthro ponies. 'Now what' RC thought to himself.
The tallest of them stepped forward "Prince solar you're surrounding kingdoms has fallen and you'r guards are gone, I have won" he said smugly.
RC grabs the bridge of his nose and sighs in annoy-ens before speaking "If I don't get some sort of an answer soon I'm gonna start shooting."
The lead insect pony launched a green bolt of magic at RC and successfully sending him across the room into a marble pillar.
Everyone looked at RC and back to the main insect pony "maybe that will teach the rest of you not to interrupt me when I'm in the middle of a-" He was unable to finish his sentence as a loud bang rung through out the entire throne room. everyone turned to the source of the noise to see RC standing there with a M9 in his right hand.
RC walks back over to the group of people "You know... I don't like it when people pull dirty tricks" RC Stated.
All the bug ponies, including the one that he had shot in the stomach, were now staring at his eyes as his left glowed with a swirl of green and orange while his right was a swirl of blue and green but the light was not so bright that it turned into a light house. The anomaly was behind his eyes like there was something trapped.
RC raised his two M9's at the insects that stood in front of him "I am the RIVER that runs CRIMSON with you're blood" He said with multiple different voices that had a deathly like tone. He then opened fire until he had no ammo left. After both his clips were emptied the only things left was ether the riddled corpses of the newly fallen or the injured that just got away with a grazes. The ones that were able to stand ran right at RC with their weapons drawn.
The first bug pony goes in with a over head swing but RC uses both of his pistols to block it inches from his face. Raising his left foot RC kicked the bug pony in the stomach as another one came in from his right. It was about to stab him in the side with a spear but was stopped as it was tackled by a Philosoraptor wearing two blue necklaces.
RC turned around to see that the girl from earlier had a bunch of cards floating around her. A card flies forward and lands on the ground before a flash of light come from it to reveal a small dwarven man with a bow in his left hand and a quiver of arrows on his waist. The dwarf fired three arrows that all made contact with three of the bug ponies heads.
RC ran forward at the bug pony that had charged him right off the bat. Before the bug pony could react RC sent a uppercut right into the bug ponies jaw causing it to fly into the air and land on it's back. RC ran up to the down bug pony and grabbed its short sword before he used said sword to stab the bug pony in the heart or where he thought the heart was.
As He watched the creatures blood flow from its body like a opened dam onto the floor he heard someone behind him start shouting "Come on you foals we can't just let them have all the fun!" Groups of guards rushed past him and joined in on the fight. As RC watched the fight in front of him unravel he found himself crack a small smile from the sit before him.
RC tried to get up so he could join in but was unable as a sharp pain ran through the side of his leg. Turning his head to look for the cause of his pain he found that there was a arrow protruding from his left leg. following from how the arrow was shot he turned to look at the creature that fired it.
Standing there was a bug pony unlike the rest of them was holding an ebony bow and had a ruby dagger on its waist but what really stuck out was its colors it had blue eyes instead of green and its didn't seemed to have no holes in them like the others. "I guess a creature with such power can be killed just as easily as any other."
