     To The Other World

     Chapter 1

     ‘How will I ever get back?’  I asked myself. Right now, I’m running for my life to escape the monsters that continue to chase me, even in this pouring rain. They can talk, and are pretty damn fast.

     Normally, I would just shoot them with a SOCOM  or a Beretta M9, but I don’t have anything on me right now, so I’ll have to make do. But, let me say my name while I can think outside of ways to escape them. my name is Solid Snake. I am from Earth, but a strange portal has brought me here. I will tell you as much as I can recall.

*Flashback*

     Treading stealthy, I continue my mission: to find and destroy the new Metal Gear prototype. And I heard that this could be the worst of all of them. As in amazing combative skills and weaponry, I was sure to have a hard time with it.

     I hold my SOCOM out and walk through a door. I quickly look at my left, then my right, and as soon as I learned that the coast was clear, I continued on with my mission. I walk, slowly, toward a hatch to where I think leads to Metal Gear. I open it and a huge gust of wind greets me. I hesitate for a moment and look behind me.

     Next thing I know, I end up in this little forest with weird monsters in it, like a mutated chicken and a wolf composed of wood, complete with glowing yellow eyes. I run the hell out of there, and when I do, I find a little cottage outside the edge of the woods. I run to the side of it, being smart enough not to run to the front of it. I push myself against the wall and look up, and from here I can tell it’s a one story building.

     And I see a window for an entrance.

     I grab the edge of the window and pull myself up. Since I workout a lot and especially chin ups so I can grab ledges, it’s easy now. I look inside of the cottage, and I can tell that someone lives here, although it appears that no one is inside of it currently. I open the unlocked window and, carefully, enter the house.

     I look around, left and right, and see no one. So, I quickly duck toward a table. Well, more rolling to it, but who cares?

     I don’t.

     Right now, the only thing I care about is trying to figure out where the hell I am.

(THUMP THUMP THUMP)

     ‘Footsteps!’ I thought to myself, and hid quickly. I peek out to see a pale yellow-er I think it’s a pony, judging by it’s size, but it’s owner likes to decorate it, like the pink, curling hair and those fake, stupid wings.

     Then, it starts to flap the wings and -flies! It-it-it actually flies! ‘Impossible!’ I think. I watch in amazement as the pegasus continues to do stuff like clean and cook. ‘I need to take it out so I can get some information from it.’ I think inside my head, but when I reach for my M9 in it’s holster, I realized that it is not there. I check my SOCOM as well, but it’s not there either. All my equipment is gone!

     Ugh, great. Just my day. The only other option is to grab it and make her answer my questions using C.Q.C.

     Here I go!

     I quickly launch out from behind the table and grab her, putting my hand over her mouth to muffle her. She tried to scream, just as I had predicted, but she couldn’t make a single sound. “Quiet. I just want information, that’s all. I’ll take my hand off your mouth if you promise to not scream, got it?” I say to her in my raspy voice, and she nodded frantically, so I slowly take my hand off.

     She did what I said. “Now,” I start. “where am I? What world am I in?”

     “E-E-E-Equest-t-tria…” She replied in a shaky voice.

     “Good. now, what is your name?” “F-F-F-Flut-t-t-tersh-sh-shy.”

     “Okay. I’m going to leave now. Thanks for the information.” I said in that same raspy voice as i run out of her door.

     I start running, and after a while my stamina gets low, so I end up lazily jogging. But, lucky for me, I saw something that was only 100 feet away. I run to it, but because of my low stamina, I start to black out. I fall to the ground, as I try to grab something for me to hang on to, but all my fists could get was air.

*5 Minutes Later*

     “Ugh, where am I?” I groan, surveying my surroundings. I was in the same spot. I look over at my side,  and see something that made my day.

     A SOCOM .45 pistol.

     “What the hell is this?!” I yell and (smiling) run for it. I grab it firmly, and take the mag out. It is full on ammunition, and is in perfect condition. “So if I have my SOCOM pistol, then maybe I have my XM16E1…” I think out loud. But then, the gun starts to glow and it flashes a very bright light. When it stops the commotion, I look down at the SOCOM, except that it isn’t a SOCOM anymore.

     It’s an XM16E1!

     “Woah, so this gun changes into what i tell it to? Nice…” I exclaimed. Only, I didn’t know things were about to get very ugly for me at the moment.

     Very, very ugly.

     “HEY, YOU OVER THERE!” I hear, then I turn around and get in a shot-ready position.

     Behind me, I see 6 little, talking ponies. 1 of them was wearing a crown, while the other 5 are wearing necklaces, each having their own symbol. There was a cyan one that had magenta eyes and a messy, rainbow mane and tail. It’s symbol had a cloud and a rainbow lightning bolt. It also appeared to have wings. Next to it was a pink one without wings. It just looks like a regular pony that had a pink, poofy mane and tail. It’s symbol were three balloons. On that one’s left was a pearl white one that had lots of makeup on. It’s mane and tail had a weird style to it, and they were both violet. It had a horn on it’s forehead, and it’s symbol was a gem, probably a diamond.

     In the center of them was a purple pony that, as well as the white one, had a horn on it’s forehead. It’s mane and tail have appeared to be done with a brush or a comb of some sort, & had stripes through them. It's symbol was a purple star with other white ones circling around it.

     There was another one that was an orange color and had freckles. She had a pair of very lovely, emerald green eyes, a peachy-colored mane and tail that was a bit messy, tied into a ponytail ( ironic, isn’t it?). Her symbol were three, crimson apples. Last was Fluttershy, with her pale purple mane and tail that were rather long and curled at the bottom, her symbol being three butterflies.

     “What do you want with us?” asked the purple one.

     “I don’t want anything with you, unless you can help me get back to my own planet where there are no stupid talking horses.” I said, in my intimidating voice.

     “WHAT?!” exclaimed the cyan one angrily with a PO’d look on her face. She flew straight at me with unimaginable speeds, but I was fast enough to duck and roll under her, to which I recovered and got in a shooting stance.

     And fired.

     End chapter.
