Prologue - A S**tful Day (Edited)
The day began like any other for the man known as Jason Winter, he got up at 5 am as usual so he could make sure he got all his jobs done before going to class. His hair was dark brown with with a lighter streak through his hair that was originally pink, that was due to a bet that backfired, although he was thankful that it was near a blonde then the hot pink that originally claimed his hair. His eyes were a greenish blue, His sun kissed skin was decorated with scars and burns, A few of which from his years working on his best friend’s station. The man sat up and stretched out while he gave a soft groan as he felt a few pops in his back as shoulders. He was about to get up before a short stabbing pain rippled through his abdomen, causing him to look down and gently a fresh scar on his hip.
"Bloody bull" he growled at the unpleasant memory as he got up and strode over to his chest of draws. On top of the piece of furniture was a picture of a group of men and girls sitting on a fence along with a picture of himself and several other people. “Best give dad a ring today” Jason said to himself before he opened the draws and pulled out a faded crimson flannel top, a paint stained black top, tan cargo pants that also had some paint on them and some underwear. Once he collected the items Jason walked over to a connected bathroom to wash himself.
As he washed himself he smiled softly as the water slowly turned to hot, causing him to sigh softly as his joints and muscles were warmed by the water. After a few minutes Jason climbed out of the shower and walked over to his mirror with a towel around his waist. “Should i shave?” He asked his reflection as he inspected the thick stubble on his face while pulling a few different faces. “Nah i think i am good” He confirmed before he brushed his teeth.
Once Jason had finished with his personal cleaning, he quickly got dressed before he returned to his room and sat on his bed where he grabbed a small log book from by his bed and opened it, where he scanned the appointments. “Fifteen jobs… this will be a fucking long day and no studying today” Jason muttered to himself before he grabbed his work phone and checked it’s messages. “N-no make that three” Jason said as he grabbed his pen and crossed out most of the appointments were cancelled last minute.
Jason simply shrugged before he pulled on some socks followed by his word boots, after he was fully dressed he grabbed his work phone and a secondary phone he had for personal use, followed by his ipod, wallet and a few other items before he left his room and made his way to his kitchen. Once he arrived he started making his lunch for the day but halfway through wrapping his lunch, his personal mobile went off causing him to pull it out and answer it.
“Hello?" He answered as he put his lunch in a small lunch box.
"Hey Jason, It’s Luke" a male voice replied
"What are you doing up at this hour? Jerking off or studying?" Jason asked with a soft chuckle as he collected two cold bottles of water from his fridge.
"Hey I wasn't masterbating" Luke said obviously flustered
“Were you studying?” Jason asked.
“I was going to… but that isn’t why i called” Luke said
"Okay little bro, so what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked his brother.
"Oh yea, um well apparently there is a massive hurricane heading your way" he said worriedly
"Your kidding mate, I would have heard about a Hurricane this far inland seeing that it would be all over the news" he said not amused
"I'm afraid so, apparently the bloody thing popped up an hour ago and is heading your way" he explained.
"Okay well thanks for the heads up, I’ll have to make a few calls but i swear if this is some prank i with destroy your xbox” Jason threatened as he pulled his work mobile out.
"Don't worry bro I'm not joking so no need to break my stuff, anyway be safe and see you on the other side" he said before he hung up and Jason texted his clients that he was meant to see today.
After he finished texting his clients, he put his lunch and water into a backpack that was sitting in the kitchen before went to his garage. As he entered, he turned on the light to see all the building supplies filling up the room. "Great now i have all these spare supplies now" he sighed as quickly emptied his truck’s tray before he opened his garage door and hopped into his vehicle. Once inside he drove out of the garage before hopping out and closing the door before getting back in his truck and driving off and headed to the grocery store to find it was dead considering the news, until Jason realised the time. “Right barely 6” He muttered before he entered the store. After some time, Jason finished loading supplies onto the tray of his truck and pulling a tarp over the load as the residents of the town started to storm the town, desperately trying to collect the things they need. “Well at least Luke wasn’t lying” Jason muttered.
Once home, Jason grabbed several tools and a ladder before he climbed onto his roof and began to detach several solar panels and other equipment that would be damaged in the storm. As he started working on the panels, Jason noticed the large menacing black clouds rapidly growing closer and closer. “Shit” he growled as he started to work faster but he only managed to get through half of the panels when the strong winds nearly took him off his roof. “Fuck you too Mother Nature” He shouted as he flipped the cloud off just as on of the panels was torn from his roof and nearly hit him. This was his que to give up and head inside with what he had.
Once inside, he locked his windows and doors while putting items of importance somewhere safe until the storm passed. Once secured Jason looked outside only to see a car casually slide passed sideways with the driver still inside just as the a solid wall of wind formed around the man’s home roughly four metres from his home. “The hell?” He asked as everything started to shake violently. “What? An earthquake?” He asked confused.
Things only got worse from there as bolts of crimson energy sparked from the wall of wind and struck near his house in a blinding flash of light and with a deafening boom. Once Jason regained his senses, he noticed strange shadows moving behind the wind moments before the rumbling stopped suddenly followed Jason feeling like he was freefalling. “This is fucking weird” He comments moments before the house shock hard and sent Jason down, causing him to smack his head hard on the ground, knocking him out.
(Equestria. Ponyville)
A lean, five foot four amethyst coloured dragon with rounded lime green spines running down his spine and tail named Spike was currently cleaning the library which was inside of a tree. The library was dubbed the Golden Oak Library and had been the home of Spike and the Unicorn mare known as Twilight Sparkle. The pair were sent to the small town of Ponyville to help with a event, only to end up defeating an ancient evil being name Nightmare Moon. The being turned out to be the corrupted sister of the monarch known as Princess Celestia, who was also Twilight’s teacher.
Spike fell asleep when Twilight lift with her new friends to deal with Nightmare moon only to wake up to find the library was a mess and now had spent the last few hours cleaning. Most of his time was spent on this one spot on the emerald green couch that refused to go away no matter what Spike used to try and remove it. He tried for the last two hours only to give up and chuck a pillow over it before he went to make himself breakfast for himself and Twilight, whenever she got up.
He collected several ingredients before he started to make some basic pancakes, accidentally spilling some of the mix onto his green top, making him grumble. “Should have gone to bed earlier” Spike grumbled as he heard a knocking come from the front door. “Come in” Spike called out as he looked over his shoulder to see Twilight’s new friend known as Applejack, A six foot five amber mare with a lemon mane that was tied in a ponytail, along with her tail. She was wearing a old faded stenson, a faded blue flannel top and denim shorts that showed off her generous curves.
“Howdy Spike, Um is Twilight in?” She asked in a thick southern accent while stealing a few glances at the staircase.
“Yea she is Applejack, She is upstairs.” He said before he placed the mixing bowl back onto the bench. “Want me to go get her for you Applejack?” He asked her causing the mare to smile softly and shake her head.
“No ah can go get her ma’self” She said before she started heading to the stairs.
“Okay well at least tell her that breakfast is on the way” Spike said as he turned to the stove and ignited it.
"Will do sugarcube" she said as the mare climbed the stairs only to return a few minutes later with a slightly shorter violet Unicorn with a deep purple mane that had two lighter coloured streaks of purple running through it, same with her tail. She was wearing a light pink top that had a few black ink stains on it and a purple skirt that went to her knees. The mare was more petite in comparison to Applejack but still had curves.
“Morning Spike” Twilight said with a yawn as she stretched as the pair entered the kitchen and sat down.
"Morning Twi, um isn't that what you wore last night?" Spike asked her, causing her to look down at her outfit.
“Yea, i kind of fell asleep while reading this book that Princess Celestia gave me last night… it is so interesting and is full of things that i didn’t know existed.” Twilight explained as spike put a plate of pancakes in front of her.
“Oh cool, what is the book called?” Spike asked as he offered Applejack a plate, which she accepted and thanked him before he sat down himself with his own plate.
“It is called ‘Horrors of Equis’ “ Twilight said gaining a worried look from the others in the room. “What is most interesting is the fact that it wasn’t in alphabetical order… no it was like a list” She said with a frown on her face as she thought.
“W-what was at worst?” Applejack asked.
“I don’t know, the last half of the book was missing from the book but the last in the book was something that was called an Overlord” Twilight explained.
“Which is a what?” Spike asked.
“An race of creatures that supposedly were all about order but they corrupted, raped, pillaged, destroy or murdered everything they came… they had little to no hair and had pitch black skin… They give off an aura that makes ponies feel sick” Twilight explained causing both Applejack and Spike to look at each other with a worried expression. “But this book was apparently written ages ago and they are probably extinct if they even existed” Twilight explained with a chuckle . "Anyway why did you come over Applejack" Twilight asked but before she could be answered, a deafening explosion of wind tore passed the window, causing the house to shift and bend with the wind.
When the wind died down, the three ran outside to see a towering thick spire of wind near the edge of the town with large crimson bolts of lightning running up and down it along with dozens of trees from the everfree. Several dozen pegasi of the ponyville weather team suddenly flew passed at high speed and attempted to create a tornado to dispute the the spire, only to be blown away by the power gale force winds, struck by trees or the lightning.
"Spike send a lett...." Twilight started only for her to be cut off as a brief flash of lightning appeared before the three, only to be replace by a nine foot eight tall alabaster Alicorn, she had a long rainbow mane that was blowing in the opposite direction of the wind. She wore golden armour all over her form that resembled a goddess, save for her head and large swan wings. Her expression was that of anger, disgust and slight fear as she gazed upon the monstrous phenomenon on the edge of the town, Around her were several dozen golden armour guards, who looked to the tower with fear and several silver armoured bat ponies that looked at the same tower with hate.
"Prin....Princess? What is going on?” Twilight asked, gaining the attention of the Alicorn, whose expression seem to melt into one of kindness. “Why are you covered in armour?” Twilight asked with worry.
“I am here because of that” Celestia said as she pointed towards the spire of wind. “That is a Nova Gateway” She explained before waiting a few moments to shift slight as she looked at the horror. “It’s a gateway to another dimension, last time nearly lead to the arrival of the Overlords which nearly lead to the end of Equis” She explained as Twilight, Spike and Applejack looked at the princess in shock. “Equestria’s army is currently on the way but i fear it may not be enough if this is a full. “ Celestia sighed.
“But how were they defeated last time?” Spike asked.
“Well that is si…” Celestia started before she was cut off.
“Look!” Applejack said pointing to the spire as a shadow quickly descended down the spire.
“Here they come” Celestia said before she turned to the two ponies and dragon. “Twilight, go collected the other elements, Spike go get some cover” She instructed as she produced a mahogany bow and handed it to Twilight before she took flight towards the spire with most of the guards.
Once they arrived near the spire’s base, Celestia’s horn flared, causing a golden greatsword, with a pony long blade, to appear in her hands while the guards drew their weapons in preparation. They watched as the shadow hit the ground quickly before the spire dissipated, only to reveal instead of an army of monsters preparing to attack, there was a large single story house sitting there with a ladder sticking out of the ground in front of it at a forty five degree angle.
"Um Princess, I don't remember the Overlords coming in houses" a Thestral stated blankly
" I agree, let's approach with caution" she stated as the group slowly stepped forward only to stop when the door opened.
(Jason)
With a groan Jason sat up while holding his badly bleeding head, he felt dizzy and sick while his head throbbed, which the sounds of talking, clanging metal and birds didn’t help. “Fuck” He groaned as he used his table to pull himself to his feet before he stumbled over to the front door. “Let’s see what is making that noise” He mumbled as he unlocked the door and pushed it open with as much strength as he could muster from his stunned body. Once it was open, the door swung open quickly, sending the man to the ground hard, making him groan in discomfort moments before the door came back and hit him in the side gently, causing him to make a odd noise. “Prick” He growled as he pushed himself up off the ground.
After a few moments to get his barrings, the man raised his head up before winching at the glaring sunlight hitting him in the face making him squint until his eyes adjusted. Once adjusted, Jason realized something was wrong, apart from the fact that his house had moved. Staring at him in the same amount of confusion as the man was several dozen anthropomorphic horses in armour, a few of which had cocked their heads at him. “Yep i am unconscious” He grumbled as he used the door to sluggishly pull himself to his feet before returning his gaze to the crowd of armoured horses only to see the tallest on with a spear like horn and large wings was now approaching him quickly. “Nope” He said before he leant backward into his house, pulling his door shut before he landed on his back roughly. “Ahhh fuck me sideways!” He cried as he rolled onto his side. “Why did i think that was a good idea?” He asked before hearing a knocking coming from his door.
“Hello?” He asked cautiously
“Hello sir, do you mind opening up?” A female voice asked with hints of concerns in it’s voice.
“Um no i am good… just gonna lay here” Jason replied.
“I don’t think that is a good idea, seeing as it looked like you had a bad head injury.” The voice said concerned.
“Hahah right, you just want me to open my door so you can try and sell me shit or talk about jesus” Jason replied only to receive silence moments before the sound of giggling was heard from the other side of the door,
"You are mistaken kind sir I am not a sales mare, I am Princess Celestia Of Equestria" she stated in a matter of factly tone
"Salesmare? Don't you mean sales mare? And I doubt you're a princess, you don't sound British" he said back before giving a stupid look to his door and slapping his head only to groan in pain.'
"Yes I did say sales mare, and I am a Princess bit if that makes you feel uncomfortable then simply call me Celestia mr human" she said with a chuckle
"Ummm okay then Celestia” Jason said with a raised eyebrow.
"May i know your name?” Celestia asked through the door.
“Ahh sure, Jason is my name” He said as he pushed himself to his feet, only to collapse against his door. “Damn it” He groaned quietly.
“Are you okay sir?” Celestia asked concerned.
“Not really” He admitted as he pushed himself off the door and held his hand against the doorframe as his eye stung from blood covering it.
“Please open the door Jason and i can help you” Celestia asked as Jason locked his front door. “Jason!”
“Sorry but you are an alien and i honestly don’t trust you” Jason said “You could dissect me or some other horrible stuff” Jason explained.
“Now why would i do that when we are having such a nice conversation” Celestia said. “And honestly i can easily teleport in there with my guards and force you out”
“Okay now i am getting my rifle” Jason said moments before he was surrounded in a golden aura.
“How about no” Celestia said moments before Jason suddenly appeared on the other side of the door with his back against the door while looking up at the alabaster Amazon mare wearing heavy plate armour that covered her large features. She had a flowing multi colored pastel hair that flowed in the wind along with her tail. As he moved his head back up and looked at her face which was shorter than a normal horses and was more rounded, she had large magenta eyes that look at him warmly but also slightly worried, but the biggest thing he noticed was her victorious yet mischievous smirk on her muzzle on to be replaced with on of shock and concern as she looked at the nasty wound near his temple.
He was about to say but he suddenly dropped to his hands and knees and started coughing badly with the feeling that he was about to vomit "Captain Scarlet, where is Nurse Redheart?" Celestia asked someone off to Jason's left
"I am right here, sorry your majesty.... Um what is that?" She asked referring Jason before noticing the blood dripping from his face "oh dear" she said concerned before moving next to him and lifting his face so she could inspect it "What happened to him?" She asked
"He is a human and I think he would best to answer that" Celestia stated before she noticed her guards had moved quite close to the injured man "Please keep back as i don’t want him to be stressed right now" she stated causing the group of guards to move away.
When Jason looked at the nurse fixing and cleaning his face, he once again blushed as he came face to face with a white mare who was not as tall as Celestia or as curvy, coming in at around six foot and instead of double i cup breasts, she had solid double d breasts.. She had a white nurse's outfit covering her body with a small nurse cap on her head, covering her pink mane "Thanks" he said while still blushing like an idiot which seemed to make her smile
"No worries sir, it's quite alright but I must ask why is your cutie mark on your neck?" She asked gently poking black widow tattoo on his neck
"A what? Um that's a tattoo I got when I was drunk a few years back" he stated "and you don’t have to call me sir, my name is Jason" she said to her with a weak smile as she began to wrap up his forehead with a bandage
"I have heard or tattoos, some races get them for fun, but isn't it painful?" She asked which Jason response with a smirk and nod "Well anyway cutie marks appear when you find your special talent, they appear over your heart and on your thighs" she explained with a smile. “Now are you going to tell me what did this?”
"I hit my head on the corner of a table” He explained "So what's your special talent?" he asked curious.
"Well mine is helping ponies and healing them" she explained with a smile.
"Thus why you became a nurse" he said which she nodded "Okay cool...well I kind of feel lightheaded" he said as he placed his hand on his head.
"Well you have lost quite a bit of blood and also this is quite a serious injury” Redheart explained before she turned her attention to Celestia” Um your majesty, would you kindly be able to take us as I don't Think Jason can walk in his condition" the nurse asked Celestia
"I think that is the best, I'll have some guards make sure that no pony enters your home while you are in hospital Jason" she promised with a soft smile as her horn glowed as Red Heart helped him to stand, moments before they vanished and reappeared at the hospital's waiting room.
Once there, Jason stumbled before he reached out to stabilize himself, unfortunately he placed his hand against the bandaged chest of a tall injured crimson stallion, who yelped loudly and quickly turned and punched Jason in the face.
