bioshocked. How can this be happening to me.by Ticci-Toby667ChaptersDreams can change your memories?!2What a TERRIBLE dayA new enemy.Dreams can change your memories?!It was silent in the old worn down house, there was no noise coming from the inside for the meantime, only from the sound of the hustle and bustle of people, walking, talking or arguing, traffic on the nearby highway, etc. There was no one in the empty old house, no movement, no noise, until a radio started, it was only staticky at first, but if one were to listen closely. They would make hear a noise coming from the radio, as if someone was talking through it. The voice sounded of a young male teenager. "...How should I start this..." "...Hello there..." "...I'm not to sure if you'll hear me from here..." "...I'm far FAR away from home..." "...Stuck on another world if you're wondering..." "...Mom...dad...I'm alright...you guys don't need to worry.." The voice began to sob but a voice came from the background and seemed to calm the boy down. He then continued. "...I made some friends here, there really kind..." "...And I love them as if they were like you two...my family..." "...I don't have that much time left...but I'll say there names and one last thing before I go..." Multiple voices could be heard suddenly if you were to put your ear closer. A girl with a high yet regular pitched voice that was filled with excitement yelled out "Hi there!" A very small and timid voice said "Your boy is a really kind" A voice with a cowboy accent then spoke "He is real helper he sure is, you two must be proud" A girl that sounded like she was sort of a tomboy then said "Meh, he's cool and all, but I'm 20% more cooler" A girl with excitement and worry in her voice said"He enjoys science and books, he nearly read all the books in my library" A English accented female voice said "He enjoys wearing the gray vest that you gave him, it really is a fashionable clothing article" The boy must have noticed something was wrong, he quickly said "Girls please, I don't have that much time now" The boy sounded worried now. "(Sigh) ...Seems I only have ten seconds left...I just want to say that thing I wanted to say.." The static then began to grow louder than the voice. ".....I....love.....you....mom...you too...dad" we're the last words before you can only hear nothing but static It went on for a minute or two in the empty house. Click. It was a just another normal day for me, wake up, take shower, brush teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast and leave to school. Just another normal school day. I seriously had no idea why, but I wore my "20% cooler" t-shirt. I was just glad no one knew what the rainbow color streaks were meant to be at school because I was of course, a brony. I made sure to wear my big blue sweater over it, with a gray vest also, if any of the other kids found out I was a fan to a little kids show, they would just bully me even more. I was just your average teenager, I was 15, tan skin, skinny built up, and was about...say 5,6. This didn't really get me anywhere at school because there are mostly tall kids who try to act cool, jocks, girls who gossip about everything you tell them ugh, and more. They began teasing me in my freshman year saying I was, quote on quote, a weakling. I quickly showed them when they tried following me to my house. I may be skinny but I'm one heck of a runner, so I outran them in 4 to 5 seconds. After that the year was a nightmare, but enough of that. I slipped the belt through the thin folds to my dark brown jeans to have it fit and ate breakfast while tying my shoes on. " Honey, make sure to call us when school is over, the newscast said that it might rain today" My mom yelled from the kitchen. My dad then came out of my bedroom holding my backpack smiled and said "You almost forgot this you know" and tossed it to me while doing a light chuckle. I instinctively shot straight up causing a water bottle my mom was drinking to drop on the floor. Me and my dad froze both just staring at each other as my mom walking into the living room. She spoke with a calm tone "Matthew, would you be a dear and go, I have to talk with your father again about the no throwing-in-the-house policy" I knew what was about to happen and ran out of the door leaving my father to his...doom I guess. When my mom talks to you like that she's basically saying "You're so dead" with a deadly sweet voice. As I jogged out of the house putting my back pack on I couldn't help but feel like I was being watched. I tried my best to put the feeling down because the bus just immediately passed me. I groaned with annoyance now knowing what I'll have to do. I connected my earphones to my phone, put up a random song and began to position myself on the sidewalk. I couldn't help it but today, I felt more energetic than normal, like I had one of my mom's funnel cakes. I kneeled down, got into a runner position,put my hand down on the sidewalk, and bolted as fast as I can after the bus. As I sprinted towards the bus it began to slow down, everything began to slow down, even me. All of a sudden my vision began turning a mixture of what I believe was gold, purple and midnight blue. I then began hearing voices. They all sounded extremely familiar, two were female and the the other was male. "DISCORD WHAT HAVE I TOLD THE ABOUT ENTERING PERSONAL QUARTERS WITHOUT PERMISSION"! I slammed my hands over my ears to block out the voice, as I did my eyes widened. Discord? Why did that sound so familiar and why now is my memory acting like it was being messed with? "Princess Luna please, don't use your canterlot voice it's too loud, and yeah discord, Princess Luna only allowed me in here, she wanted to teach me how to walk into a dream". Wait...Princess Luna? Was that twighlight's voice? Why does my head HURT so bad now?! "Now, Now girls, you wouldn't want to wake him up now, ohhhh...uhI see you have" Discord said at first with annoying sarcasm dripping from his voice, but at the last part he actually sounded worried. "WHA-(mm-mm) What do you mean he is waking"? Princess Luna said. My mind was having a hard time to think clearly with the massive headache. I began to notice that the bus, the bus stop, the neighborhood, even the sky began to turn into a murky black, as if the whole world was disappearing. "He is waking up"! Princess Luna said sounding shocked. Discord simply chuckled "I guess I should make myself aquantend" Then a snap was heard. "Discord WAI-" . . . I suddenly woke up in sweat and was lying down strapped to what seems to be a hospital bed in a empty room. I began to try to stretch the wrist straps or break them or even possibly wiggle my hand free but as I was about to I heard a loud popping noise to my left and noticed a man with with red pupils, a brown suit, holding a cane, and was eating out of a popcorn box that floated in the air in front of him. It was a human version of Discord himself, I was about to say something when my head began to hurt again but even more as if someone was forcing a nail into my brain...slowly. This caused me to forget about him and the bed and grit my teeth and make groan in agony as I squeezed my eyes shut. I heard Discord sigh and I felt him touch my head, he then said " Mat, mat, mat, you should know better than letting yourself touch a power line that was trucked down with about...hmmm" As he bags to think I felt the pain from my head at first ease itself then slowly disappear, I opened my left eye and saw him in a thinking posture. It looked like he remembered to what he was saying "Yes about six to probably seven times, Mat for shame, you do know that much electricity could have killed you..right"? He leaned in as he said that part, I suddenly felt my head burst into pain again, so fast that I actually had time to see that Discord was causing it because his hand was now glowing gold on my head. I remember yelling in pain as I had flashbacks appear in my head. I wasn't running after the bus, I was jogging down the side walk to the bus stop to get out of the harsh rain... My parents were never there, they did love me still, but they had trouble staying home with all their jobs, they would video chat with me helping me with anything...if they can... I was nearly killed by a pole as it fell with it's power lines still connected as lightening struck down upon it for 12 times... I noticed that there was something shining amongst the debris... It looked liked a glowing misty orb, I remember wincing as I felt my legs got burnt marks from the electrical sparks... As I touched it, the mist around the orb enveloped me in a harsh whitish glow lifting me off the ground... It was very painful as it continued to surround me... It attracted all the electricity from the power lines... It forced it all in me.... Burning my clothes and skin and singing my hair... And I suddenly was taken somewhere... The middle of a city with people... Odd looking people... They all gasped as they saw the burn marks on my body... And I fell face first on the ground... Going into a deep slumber... I suddenly gasped as my eyes snapped open, Discord was still standing to my left, but in front of me was a woman wearing a white dress streaked white yellow stripes with a sun tattoo on her right hand and who was glaring at Discord so hard that I'm surprised she didn't start shooting laser beams out of her eyes. Before I opened my mouth, I was instantly deaf due to this woman's yelling. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA ON WHAT YOU JUST DID DISCORD"?! "Now Now Tia no need to be angry, I'm sure we could-highu" Discord was instantly put into a magical choking grip. Discord wheezed while waving a white flag "Alright alright, I give up" and in a second he disappeared in a pop. I currently had trouble processing all of this because for all I know, all the memories I had could be simply made up ones. When the women seemed to calm down it looked like it was safe to ask questions. I hesitated at first but I managed to ask the one question that was simply prying it's way out of my mouth. I didn't know how tired I was until I realized how hard it was to talk. "What...the hell...is going on?!" The woman looked down at me, looking at my burnt clothes and at the places were the burnt marks once were. I could have sworn I saw a hint of worry appear in her eyes, but then she turned her calm face into a face distorted with anger. What she said will make me have confused ways of looking at her from now on. "I don't know how you got here but I'm going to make sure that you don't harm anyone under my protection!" Then her hands began glowing whitish yellowish "So says I, Princess Celestia" She shot a bright glowing beam at me that was so hot it was already making the room turn into a oven the second it left her fingers. It would have killed me if a midnight blue shield hadn't appeared in front of me causing the the beam to break apart once it impacted. Princess Celestia had a look of shock on her face while I had a look of fear. A familiar voice spoke up out of no where "Sister, I know that he has caused trouble once he came here, but I assure you it wasn't his fault for the incident that has happened in Canterlot"l A flash of white appeared and when it instantly faded a women wearing a deep dark blue dress with a moon crescent on her right arm as well, did I mention that both of their hair were flowing even though there was no breeze in the room. Celestia's was a kinda rainbow mixed color with white sparkles while the other woman's was more similar to the night sky. My instant thought was Princess Luna. She was standing to my right holding her left arm over me and her right arm was glowing a midnight blue. Princess Celestia regained her calm posture " And how do you know this sister, I remember seeing a blast occur leaving many injured and others...near death" she then pointed her right hand at me, " And in the middle of it all was him"! Princess Luna had photos appear in her right hand and showed them to her sister, Princess Celestia face shifted through many looks, first confusion, then shock, then anger, and finally calmness. She looked down at me and said. "I'm terribly sorry for what I have done to you, I feared that you would have caused great harm to all of us and of Equestria please forgive my judgement". Her hand glowed and the straps to the bed were undone, I rubbed my hands then looked down at myself. I didn't had time to notice it but from what I can remember I had burn marks all over me, but as I examined myself they were all gone. The bad part was that my clothes had singe marks and burnt holes in them, I zipped open my burnt blue sweater and saw that my favorite gray vest was burnt and had multiple holes in it, same with the 20% cooler shirt and my shoes. Princess Luna walked to my left and helped me sit up, before she could say anything I cutter her off. "Why was my memory altered"? The night Princess had a look of shock then worry, she forced herself to talk due the look on her. "I did so that you wouldn't realize you were in a dreamscape, but altering one's memory it can have many outcomes of what they dream, you dreamed of a happy life where your parents were always there for you and you were strong as you wished for". I just sat there with a look of confusion on my face while staring at her, she must've got the message because she rolled her eyes. "Basically your memories were altered because you wanted them altered, in a way you had a different life in your sleep than you have now awake, so there are two of you in that head of yours, one with a different life and you with your current life, don't worry the other one's memories should fade in a week or two". She finished that off with a smile. I don't know how but I actually managed to understand all of that. ,y thoughts were interrupted by Celestia. "Now that's out of the way, I would like to show you what happened in Canterlot as well as letting you see the people who live in Equestria, also I would like to know how you managed not to say we and talk modernly Luna". Luna blushed out of embarrassment furiously and started to talk back to Celestia who, in my case, was taking me out of the room with a hand on my shoulder. I couldn't help but worry and feel excited, worried about the disaster and excited for meeting people. I still had a headache because of the memories, but I pushed it back because I understood it in a way that only a man with the last name De Witt might think. This was a odd way to end up in Equestria. Author's Note I feel like I exceeded the 1,000 word per chapter policy. 2What a TERRIBLE dayI didn't know which was more painful, the motion sickness from being teleported, getting called names and given looks from people with wings, glowing hands, and normal looking people who must be really strong because one smashed a apple in his hand while we walked in Canterlot, or the fact that I was the cause for a major explosion in the middle of said town. Princess Celestial teleported only the two of us with 4 of her guards to block anyone from rushing up to her, while Princess Luna had to attend to important meetings with the mayor. Something tells me the mayor is going to have a massive grudge against me. "This way Matthew, we don't have that much time I have to show you what happened" Princess Celestial motioned for me to walk with her around a building that looked as though it was for a newspaper company but now it looked like a half way burnt piece of charcoal. Oh man I felt awful once I saw the crater, cause around the it there was a number of houses, people's homes, gone burnt to a crisp. I was so glad I didn't see a skeleton, then suddenly out of no where my head began to hurt massively, my vision began to blur, princess Celestia took notice of my strange behavior. "Matthew, are you feeling all right"? She asked me. To me she sounded likes she was talking through a fan, I took notice when I began to feel something warm dribble from my nose, I realized I was having a massive nosebleed. That's when the visions started, first I saw a flash of a man who looked liked me but had a scar running down his right eye, had blue hair, and was smiling friendly to someone with him, the vision blurred and it then showed his hands glowing and he had a panicked look on his face, next he was yelling for people to run. The vision then fast forward to him literally glowing a harsh red and exploding in red magic devastating houses and the building. That was when I appeared, exactly right where the man was standing, burnt marks all over my body and people were staring. Somehow I knew the other me's name, it was George hitch. I was suddenly pulled from the murkiness to open my eyes with the princess standing over me with a glowing hand on my head looking down at me with concern, her guards were also staring at me with a questionable look on their faces. "Are you alright, your nose began to bleed and you were behaving strangely before landing face first on the ground-" I interrupted her with a angry look on my face. "You lied to me about my memory Celestia" She had a look of shock on her face as I slowly stood up. Before she could say anything I continued. "That dream I had wasn't a life I wished I had, or what my soul wanted, or whatever"! I began to wipe the dust off of my still burnt clothes. "Those were memories of the man, who looked liked me and who was also taken here to Equestria, a man named George Hitch, I have a lot of questions to ask you but can you only answer this". I pointed towards the middle of the crater. "Why did he look EXACTLY like me"?! The sun princess was obviously thinking of many answers due to her eyes darting around like crazy, so I added this last piece of pressure to make her tell the truth, and to be honest it shocked me also because I didn't sound like myself. "And don't tell me another lie, pinkie promise". This forced her eyes to focus on mine, she sighed. "I will tell you the truth, but not here, as you can see we have caused a audience to surround us". She then motioned to the many magical people around us. This took me by surprise because I didn't even notice, also by the fact that she didn't do the well known Pinkie promise that was invented by a certain hyperactive pink pony on a T.V show, I lowered my shoulders and nodded. I wasn't prepared for the sudden motion sickness effect so when we teleported to a room in the castle, I instantly ran to the nearest trash can and upchucked in it. When I was finished, I turned around and looked at the Princess dead in the eye. I knew she was older than I look and she lived for hundreds possibly thousands of years, so I knew I had no chance to imitate her. She sat down, ignoring my stare, in a chair next to a table with two cups and a kettle settled on a tray. She motioned me to sit down. When I sat down I then took notice of the room, I would have described what was in it until she waved her hand over me and all my clothes were instantly repaired, I was about to stop glaring at her and say thanks but she started talking. "Do you know of a women named Elizabeth" This instantly confused me helping me stop the glare. "Um, there are a lot of girls named Elizabeth that I know of, you should know that". She simply shook her head and motioned to a picture on a dresser across from the room, where there, a small picture in a frame was standing for me to see. As I stood up and walked closer to it I couldn't help but widened my eyes in surprise. Because I realized which Elizabeth she was talking about, but it was hard to believe it, cause in the picture, it showed a certain girl with a blue dress, a necklace with a white bird on it, and she was missing her right pinkie. I could only stand there, stare at the portrait with a confused look on my face and thinking so many things at once, because I only knew this character from a video game. I turned around to the sun princess with the picture in my hand. "How-how is this even possible" I shook the picture in my hand motioning to it, " She's only from a VIDEO GAME"! I guess the princess was expecting that because she simply smiled which her eyes closed. She looked back at me still with her eyes closed. "And what, you can only assume that what you see on a screen can't actually be happening in another realm, or tear as she would call it" She opened her eyes and was giving me a look that actually began to frighten me just a bit. "The memories you are currently having are not from what your soul wishes to remember nor from what your brain makes, that is true," She stood up and motioned me to follow her into another room, " The memories you are having are from the other Matthews, from different realities, and somehow you are receiving them for whenever they would..." She took a pause not opening the door and just looking down at me with a mournful look, making me realize what she was going to say. I hesitated but... I continued that sentence, " D-die?" She nodded and then opened the door to the other room, what I saw will haunt my dreams forever. What I saw was a long never ending hallway that held many doors on the side. Each door was suddenly slammed wide open and so much noise poured out from the hallway, I saw what was inside in most of them. One door showed me, yelling at my parents in a video chat with them while holding a gun to myself another showed me not doing that but smiling and happy. The other ten or twenty doors showed me in many different situations, I was murderer, I was a hero, I was a normal kid, I was girl, I was a loner, I was a tall cool kid guy, etc. I had to look away and focus on my self because I actually began to feel myself, my mind and body and soul, being separated, or torn apart. The princess must have noticed how I was feeling because she closed her eyes and made her hands glow much more brighter than I'd ever seen and then, all was silent. I was breathing heavily, eyes tightly shut, head ringing, and holding my chest so tightly I tore my sweater slightly. I opened my eyes as I felt her hand touch my head, she eased the pain for me and took me outside of the hallway through the same way we came in. She slowly sat me down in a chair to calm myself. When I finally calmed down I looked up at her. "I felt them, all of them, there memories, there feelings, all of it" I wiped my nose,to see that it was bleeding again. "I felt like I was slipping away, I was losing MY memories and began to absorb all the others, like I wasn't being the me me but becoming someone else, I don't know what that place was, but thank you for stopping it" I said while my eyes were watering. Princess Celestia then pulled up another chair and sat right next to me, it was a while before she said anything. "Elizabeth allowed me to have a certain area for tears to appear, it is because if other equestrians felt the energy from a tear, they wouldn't know what to do and would most likely get stuck to the other world that these things lead to", She turned her head and looked down at me, "Somehow, like I said earlier, you are receiving the memories of the other yous from different realities, but as you see these memories you would slowly start to lose your own self, I would ask Elizabeth to come here to help fix this problem but she hasn't been anywhere in my reach lately". A flash of light with a pop and suddenly, princess Luna was in the room with us. She looked obviously tired and a bit happy for some reason. When she saw me she looked concern. "Sister, you told him the truth didn't you". Princess Celestia nodded her head. "Even the hall of tears" Again she nodded. Princess Luna groaned and face palmed herself, while I managed to stop shaking a few minutes ago and was just looking up at the ceiling, lost in a daydream of memories. I was snapped out of it as the night princess was snapping her fingers under my nose. I always hated it whenever someone does that to me but since she was one of my favorite characters, I let it slide. The night princess then walked up to the small table that me and Princess Celesia were sitting next to, and then summoned a luggage bag on it. She began to unzip it and then showed me the contents that were in it. First was a small map of Equestria. She was waving it in my face extremely fast while talking about it, " This is a map for your uses, I know that this may seem strange why we are doing this to you but you will understand, " She then opened the map "It is suited for only you, so if anyone steals it, it won't work" Next was a pair of goggles which I actually found cool, "These are extremely useful in many cases, they will help you see in the dark, they help let you stare at the sun without going blind, help you see things that are really small or far away, and my last favorite," She strapped the goggles onto my eyes and tapped the right lens and everything in the room seemed to slow down except for the two princesses, who began to radiate themselves to move fast," Slow motion feature, it can only do this for 30 seconds per day so use it wisely" Their was a pair of clothes that was made in a short amount of time for me that looked exactly like the clothes I was wearing now, " These may look like you're normal clothes but they are water proof, tear proof, and they can stay clean for up to 12 days " I simply looked at the gray vest replica, I suddenly began to try to tear it apart but it was to no avail, Celestia only giggled a bit. lastly, was a train ticket, Both princesses looked at me and the sun princess spoke first. "I know that in another realm we are only a form of entertainment while in a form of a pony, so I believe that you know where this ticket leads to" Princess Luna then spoke up ," The reason why we are sending you there is that my sister's student, Twilight Sparkle, might be able to attend to your problems with her science, just don't do anything rash that may lead her to go, how do I say, crazy" I couldn't help but smile like an idiot, I was going to be sent to a town were the famous mane six lived. Princess Luna put everything except the goggles that I had over my head back into the luggage bag and tossed me it. I caught it and swung the strap over my right shoulder and stood up, I felt a bit light headed but the sun princess helped me stand. I wasn't ready for the sudden teleportation because I ended up dry heaving at what I believed was the train station. I quickly put my goggles on and through my hood over my head and walked towards the train, I made sure to give the train conductor a friendly smile that might have weirded him out. I soon found a seat in the back of the train and made myself comfy, I pulled out my mini-map and looked at the tiny spot called Pony Ville. I wondered why it was called that in a human version of Equestria but I didn't want to think hard about it, the map said that it would be about 50 miles from here and I looked at the clock on the wall and it showed the time. 10:42 P.M, I suddenly felt exhausted from today and closed my eyes, as I felt my body welcome sleep I could only give myself one question that ended up making me softly cry in my sleep. Does anyone even know I'm gone from home? Author's Note So exhausted yet hyped up on soda, but I did it! A new enemy.I was jolted awake to the sound of screaming and what I believed to be gunshots. The questions that happened to appear in my slowly waking mind was "what the hell?" To "magic anyone?" and then to " OH GOD"! I had to frantically wipe the dried tear grime off of my face and make sure I had all my stuff. As I was heading to the door to the other train cart it suddenly opened and I was face to face with a guy who was pure black, wore dark clothes, had fly wings, and had the eyes of a fly... A changeling. It suddenly burst into the familiar green flames that disappeared right as they formed revealing a copy of me. To be honest, my mind was still adjusting to appearing in a fictional world and having multiple "me" memories appear even in my dreams. So as I stared at my doppelgänger, I smiled widely showing my canines( I still had my goggles on so I must've looked a bit crazy scary) making my doppelgänger take a step back, and quickly sucker punch it in the face and began to fight it with my adrenaline rushing and with many emotions appearing on my face. "I was brought here for no reason"! I forcefully grabbed it's right arm and punched the left side of it's chest making it grunt in pain. "Forced to be stuck in a pool of memories forged for no freakin reason" I was suddenly punched in the left shoulder letting go of it's arm while it shoved me back into last train cart. I was then stunned by a hit to the right side of my head, my heart was racing so fast pumping more and more adrenaline that the changeling began to slow down my whole mind was filled with rage for me to take notice. After a few minutes of beating the living crap out of the changeling leaving it unconscious, I just realized what happened. I didn't question it though because I began to the roof being pried open by a pair of hands, no doubt more changelings. My body was aching as I ran to the other train cart from the bruises that were swelling and even my right ear was ringing. What I saw only made my my blood boil because I saw a group changelings kicking a crying equestrian kid with wings with his parents being held back, they didn't even see me coming because I activated the 30-second enchantment on my my goggles and swung my luggage at the slow moving heads. At the speed I was going I instantly KO'd them, I made sure not to even touch the kid because I knew science, and at my speed, I would just give him a nasty bruise. The enchantment wore off and I slowly helped him up as I tried not to touch any of his bruises. His parents themselves had some nasty cuts on there arms and wings, but when there saw me helping out there kid they just stared. The father spoke with fear "Wha-what are you"? It was sad to see them afraid of me, I decided to change that. I pulled back my hood and lowered my goggles to dangle around my neck. "I'm just like you" I said to the parents as I lightly put a hand on the father's and mother's shoulder as they still continued to hug there son, " But from a different reality" They looked at each other for a moment then back at me with a look on their faces. They obviously thought I was crazy. I knew they wanted to say something but I ran out of that train cart into the other as I made my way to the train's engine. Luckily I didn't see any changelings but I did see some dried blood on the floor. I was obviously losing myself from having to accept what's happening to me but I forced my self to continue running, even if I was in pain. It took a lot of effort I made it to the engine room, what confused me was the fact that there was no one in it. All I saw were many levers, a big pile of coal, and of course, a furnace....kinda cliche really. I just stood there scanning the room because I knew if their was a engine room, then their outa be a engineer or something. I turned around to only see a black blur and suddenly feel pain in my right side. I keeled over and struggled to not cry, I managed to do that by doing mixtures of growls and grunts in pain. I looked up and saw another changeling, it raised it's right hand to show a knife and my face paled. I never got into a fight like this in my life, luckily, or un-luckily a quick memory popped itself into my head. It showed me actually trying to fight back, but I died due to blood loss from the cuts and pushing myself to far. When the memory ended I was still keeled over but the pain was gone, I was literally shaking with energy now as I gave the changeling a smile that would creep even the devil out. I didn't know why but I roared in a crazed angry fashion as I launched myself at him. All I remember is seeing red as I punched its arm with the knife over and over until I heard a scream of pain. When I came to, I saw it's body on the floor with its right arm in a angle that shouldn't be possible, I stared in horror and threw up, the only thought that eased me want that at least I didn't kill the doppelgänger. It began to stir again and I jumped back in fright, I quickly shook it off and grabbed it by the color of it's shirt and threatened it. I tried bluffing in my threat, "If you don't tell me how to stop this train I will throw you into the burning furnace myself" The changeling actually bought it and tried pointing with its left arm but failed due to the pain it was in, I slowly lowered the changeling down and ran towards the lever and pulled it. I heard the familiar grinding noise a train would do as it slows down. I looked back at the changeling and felt guilty for what I did to it in my fit of rage. I took off my jacket and slowly and gently lifted its right arm, I wasn't a doctor but I could tell I dislocated it. The changeling kept murmuring something as it tried to stay conscious, I brought my head closer to listen. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry please don't hurt me" I gently placed my hand on its head and tried to calm it down as I whispered, "I'm sorry as well, now please don't be angry with me" I pulled as gently and swiftly on the arm until I saw the arm go back into place A.K.A it went back in the socket. I honestly had a hard time trying not to hurl in the process, once I was done caring for the changeling, I looked down at my sweater, and wrapped it around teh changeling's neck and tied it around its arm for a sling so that it wouldn't move the sore arm. "That lever over there" It muttered before slipping unconscious pointing at a lever that was to the left of me. I settled the changeling into a sitting position and ran towards the lever, I pulled down as hard as I could and smiled as I heard the familiar screeching noise of the brakes. I turned around to thank the changeling but it was gone, then I began hearing a voice in my head. The voice was extremely familiar "Why not burn the place down, I mean c'mon the equestrians there FEAR you, they HATE you." I shook my head in response as I looked around the engine room to see if there was a mic or someone saying all this. " Suit yourself, but just remember this, the worst enemy to face...is YOURSELF"! At that last word my whole body was enveloped in the same colored mist that actually brought me here, "You only have one two choices my friend, either you can return to your domain and forget about any of the many events that has happened to you." There was a moment of silence," Or you can stay and see this world be enveloped with the chaos that I' will bring" The mist began to move away from me and started to take form.I couldn't tell what it was until I took a few steps back in fright, because the man who stood in front of me....was me. The me that stood there was wearing a long dark brown coat, had white gloves, and was wearing a top hat, but what frightened me the most was his face skin color(Not being racist)it was black, just pure black. He had no nose or mouth but just pale white eyes, and even though he had no facial expression, I could tell he was smiling. "I'm so glad we could meet face to face, though I didn't expect you to live this far from your wounds" He pointed at my left arm and I immediately screamed as I felt pain. The me laughed, jumped over me, and kicked me in the back making me topple over and land on my elbows. He leaned down and looked into my eyes. He then spoke with a hint of laughter in his voice, "Do you know your last name Matthew"? That question caused me to freeze, I, I didn't even know what my last name was....how!? I soon turned my pained face into a face full of anger. "Ohhh a tough guy now we, I'll tell you what, I'm gonna send you to ponyville but with a special present with that gift of yours" He flicked my head causing my head to feel all tingly. "There, now that's out of the way, to ponyville you go"! He grabbed me by the back of my vest and grabbed the bag that held my stuff. I was about to say something when we were suddenly enveloped in a flash of white. The next thing I know I was on a dinner table as a family of four walked into room talking, but they stopped when they saw me with wide eye. My mind was mentally tired but it still registered what I was seeing, green eyes, girl with a ribbon, another with a cowboy hat, a tall buff guy and a old women, yep, the Apple family. I couldn't help but take notice that red pool was forming around me. I looked at my left arm as my vision was blurring and saw a deep gash. I couldn't help but chuckle a bit and say, "Well how bout that" and was about to topple over onto the floor but Big Mac caught me. I knew I had to stay awake to explain to them what was going one but the amount of blood I was loosing said otherwise. I closed my eyes as I allowed my body to calm down. My last thought was "I hope my parents are alright" then I was out. Author's Note As our protagonist sleeps what do you suppose the apple family will say when he awakens.... Nevermind don't answer that. Sorry for this AWFULLY LATE chapter. I'm not sure if this chapter will help but soon I'll bee doing some editing. Also how can I put a YouTube link in a word?
Dreams can change your memories?!It was silent in the old worn down house, there was no noise coming from the inside for the meantime, only from the sound of the hustle and bustle of people, walking, talking or arguing, traffic on the nearby highway, etc. There was no one in the empty old house, no movement, no noise, until a radio started, it was only staticky at first, but if one were to listen closely. They would make hear a noise coming from the radio, as if someone was talking through it. The voice sounded of a young male teenager. "...How should I start this..." "...Hello there..." "...I'm not to sure if you'll hear me from here..." "...I'm far FAR away from home..." "...Stuck on another world if you're wondering..." "...Mom...dad...I'm alright...you guys don't need to worry.." The voice began to sob but a voice came from the background and seemed to calm the boy down. He then continued. "...I made some friends here, there really kind..." "...And I love them as if they were like you two...my family..." "...I don't have that much time left...but I'll say there names and one last thing before I go..." Multiple voices could be heard suddenly if you were to put your ear closer. A girl with a high yet regular pitched voice that was filled with excitement yelled out "Hi there!" A very small and timid voice said "Your boy is a really kind" A voice with a cowboy accent then spoke "He is real helper he sure is, you two must be proud" A girl that sounded like she was sort of a tomboy then said "Meh, he's cool and all, but I'm 20% more cooler" A girl with excitement and worry in her voice said"He enjoys science and books, he nearly read all the books in my library" A English accented female voice said "He enjoys wearing the gray vest that you gave him, it really is a fashionable clothing article" The boy must have noticed something was wrong, he quickly said "Girls please, I don't have that much time now" The boy sounded worried now. "(Sigh) ...Seems I only have ten seconds left...I just want to say that thing I wanted to say.." The static then began to grow louder than the voice. ".....I....love.....you....mom...you too...dad" we're the last words before you can only hear nothing but static It went on for a minute or two in the empty house. Click. It was a just another normal day for me, wake up, take shower, brush teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast and leave to school. Just another normal school day. I seriously had no idea why, but I wore my "20% cooler" t-shirt. I was just glad no one knew what the rainbow color streaks were meant to be at school because I was of course, a brony. I made sure to wear my big blue sweater over it, with a gray vest also, if any of the other kids found out I was a fan to a little kids show, they would just bully me even more. I was just your average teenager, I was 15, tan skin, skinny built up, and was about...say 5,6. This didn't really get me anywhere at school because there are mostly tall kids who try to act cool, jocks, girls who gossip about everything you tell them ugh, and more. They began teasing me in my freshman year saying I was, quote on quote, a weakling. I quickly showed them when they tried following me to my house. I may be skinny but I'm one heck of a runner, so I outran them in 4 to 5 seconds. After that the year was a nightmare, but enough of that. I slipped the belt through the thin folds to my dark brown jeans to have it fit and ate breakfast while tying my shoes on. " Honey, make sure to call us when school is over, the newscast said that it might rain today" My mom yelled from the kitchen. My dad then came out of my bedroom holding my backpack smiled and said "You almost forgot this you know" and tossed it to me while doing a light chuckle. I instinctively shot straight up causing a water bottle my mom was drinking to drop on the floor. Me and my dad froze both just staring at each other as my mom walking into the living room. She spoke with a calm tone "Matthew, would you be a dear and go, I have to talk with your father again about the no throwing-in-the-house policy" I knew what was about to happen and ran out of the door leaving my father to his...doom I guess. When my mom talks to you like that she's basically saying "You're so dead" with a deadly sweet voice. As I jogged out of the house putting my back pack on I couldn't help but feel like I was being watched. I tried my best to put the feeling down because the bus just immediately passed me. I groaned with annoyance now knowing what I'll have to do. I connected my earphones to my phone, put up a random song and began to position myself on the sidewalk. I couldn't help it but today, I felt more energetic than normal, like I had one of my mom's funnel cakes. I kneeled down, got into a runner position,put my hand down on the sidewalk, and bolted as fast as I can after the bus. As I sprinted towards the bus it began to slow down, everything began to slow down, even me. All of a sudden my vision began turning a mixture of what I believe was gold, purple and midnight blue. I then began hearing voices. They all sounded extremely familiar, two were female and the the other was male. "DISCORD WHAT HAVE I TOLD THE ABOUT ENTERING PERSONAL QUARTERS WITHOUT PERMISSION"! I slammed my hands over my ears to block out the voice, as I did my eyes widened. Discord? Why did that sound so familiar and why now is my memory acting like it was being messed with? "Princess Luna please, don't use your canterlot voice it's too loud, and yeah discord, Princess Luna only allowed me in here, she wanted to teach me how to walk into a dream". Wait...Princess Luna? Was that twighlight's voice? Why does my head HURT so bad now?! "Now, Now girls, you wouldn't want to wake him up now, ohhhh...uhI see you have" Discord said at first with annoying sarcasm dripping from his voice, but at the last part he actually sounded worried. "WHA-(mm-mm) What do you mean he is waking"? Princess Luna said. My mind was having a hard time to think clearly with the massive headache. I began to notice that the bus, the bus stop, the neighborhood, even the sky began to turn into a murky black, as if the whole world was disappearing. "He is waking up"! Princess Luna said sounding shocked. Discord simply chuckled "I guess I should make myself aquantend" Then a snap was heard. "Discord WAI-" . . . I suddenly woke up in sweat and was lying down strapped to what seems to be a hospital bed in a empty room. I began to try to stretch the wrist straps or break them or even possibly wiggle my hand free but as I was about to I heard a loud popping noise to my left and noticed a man with with red pupils, a brown suit, holding a cane, and was eating out of a popcorn box that floated in the air in front of him. It was a human version of Discord himself, I was about to say something when my head began to hurt again but even more as if someone was forcing a nail into my brain...slowly. This caused me to forget about him and the bed and grit my teeth and make groan in agony as I squeezed my eyes shut. I heard Discord sigh and I felt him touch my head, he then said " Mat, mat, mat, you should know better than letting yourself touch a power line that was trucked down with about...hmmm" As he bags to think I felt the pain from my head at first ease itself then slowly disappear, I opened my left eye and saw him in a thinking posture. It looked like he remembered to what he was saying "Yes about six to probably seven times, Mat for shame, you do know that much electricity could have killed you..right"? He leaned in as he said that part, I suddenly felt my head burst into pain again, so fast that I actually had time to see that Discord was causing it because his hand was now glowing gold on my head. I remember yelling in pain as I had flashbacks appear in my head. I wasn't running after the bus, I was jogging down the side walk to the bus stop to get out of the harsh rain... My parents were never there, they did love me still, but they had trouble staying home with all their jobs, they would video chat with me helping me with anything...if they can... I was nearly killed by a pole as it fell with it's power lines still connected as lightening struck down upon it for 12 times... I noticed that there was something shining amongst the debris... It looked liked a glowing misty orb, I remember wincing as I felt my legs got burnt marks from the electrical sparks... As I touched it, the mist around the orb enveloped me in a harsh whitish glow lifting me off the ground... It was very painful as it continued to surround me... It attracted all the electricity from the power lines... It forced it all in me.... Burning my clothes and skin and singing my hair... And I suddenly was taken somewhere... The middle of a city with people... Odd looking people... They all gasped as they saw the burn marks on my body... And I fell face first on the ground... Going into a deep slumber... I suddenly gasped as my eyes snapped open, Discord was still standing to my left, but in front of me was a woman wearing a white dress streaked white yellow stripes with a sun tattoo on her right hand and who was glaring at Discord so hard that I'm surprised she didn't start shooting laser beams out of her eyes. Before I opened my mouth, I was instantly deaf due to this woman's yelling. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA ON WHAT YOU JUST DID DISCORD"?! "Now Now Tia no need to be angry, I'm sure we could-highu" Discord was instantly put into a magical choking grip. Discord wheezed while waving a white flag "Alright alright, I give up" and in a second he disappeared in a pop. I currently had trouble processing all of this because for all I know, all the memories I had could be simply made up ones. When the women seemed to calm down it looked like it was safe to ask questions. I hesitated at first but I managed to ask the one question that was simply prying it's way out of my mouth. I didn't know how tired I was until I realized how hard it was to talk. "What...the hell...is going on?!" The woman looked down at me, looking at my burnt clothes and at the places were the burnt marks once were. I could have sworn I saw a hint of worry appear in her eyes, but then she turned her calm face into a face distorted with anger. What she said will make me have confused ways of looking at her from now on. "I don't know how you got here but I'm going to make sure that you don't harm anyone under my protection!" Then her hands began glowing whitish yellowish "So says I, Princess Celestia" She shot a bright glowing beam at me that was so hot it was already making the room turn into a oven the second it left her fingers. It would have killed me if a midnight blue shield hadn't appeared in front of me causing the the beam to break apart once it impacted. Princess Celestia had a look of shock on her face while I had a look of fear. A familiar voice spoke up out of no where "Sister, I know that he has caused trouble once he came here, but I assure you it wasn't his fault for the incident that has happened in Canterlot"l A flash of white appeared and when it instantly faded a women wearing a deep dark blue dress with a moon crescent on her right arm as well, did I mention that both of their hair were flowing even though there was no breeze in the room. Celestia's was a kinda rainbow mixed color with white sparkles while the other woman's was more similar to the night sky. My instant thought was Princess Luna. She was standing to my right holding her left arm over me and her right arm was glowing a midnight blue. Princess Celestia regained her calm posture " And how do you know this sister, I remember seeing a blast occur leaving many injured and others...near death" she then pointed her right hand at me, " And in the middle of it all was him"! Princess Luna had photos appear in her right hand and showed them to her sister, Princess Celestia face shifted through many looks, first confusion, then shock, then anger, and finally calmness. She looked down at me and said. "I'm terribly sorry for what I have done to you, I feared that you would have caused great harm to all of us and of Equestria please forgive my judgement". Her hand glowed and the straps to the bed were undone, I rubbed my hands then looked down at myself. I didn't had time to notice it but from what I can remember I had burn marks all over me, but as I examined myself they were all gone. The bad part was that my clothes had singe marks and burnt holes in them, I zipped open my burnt blue sweater and saw that my favorite gray vest was burnt and had multiple holes in it, same with the 20% cooler shirt and my shoes. Princess Luna walked to my left and helped me sit up, before she could say anything I cutter her off. "Why was my memory altered"? The night Princess had a look of shock then worry, she forced herself to talk due the look on her. "I did so that you wouldn't realize you were in a dreamscape, but altering one's memory it can have many outcomes of what they dream, you dreamed of a happy life where your parents were always there for you and you were strong as you wished for". I just sat there with a look of confusion on my face while staring at her, she must've got the message because she rolled her eyes. "Basically your memories were altered because you wanted them altered, in a way you had a different life in your sleep than you have now awake, so there are two of you in that head of yours, one with a different life and you with your current life, don't worry the other one's memories should fade in a week or two". She finished that off with a smile. I don't know how but I actually managed to understand all of that. ,y thoughts were interrupted by Celestia. "Now that's out of the way, I would like to show you what happened in Canterlot as well as letting you see the people who live in Equestria, also I would like to know how you managed not to say we and talk modernly Luna". Luna blushed out of embarrassment furiously and started to talk back to Celestia who, in my case, was taking me out of the room with a hand on my shoulder. I couldn't help but worry and feel excited, worried about the disaster and excited for meeting people. I still had a headache because of the memories, but I pushed it back because I understood it in a way that only a man with the last name De Witt might think. This was a odd way to end up in Equestria. Author's Note I feel like I exceeded the 1,000 word per chapter policy.
2What a TERRIBLE dayI didn't know which was more painful, the motion sickness from being teleported, getting called names and given looks from people with wings, glowing hands, and normal looking people who must be really strong because one smashed a apple in his hand while we walked in Canterlot, or the fact that I was the cause for a major explosion in the middle of said town. Princess Celestial teleported only the two of us with 4 of her guards to block anyone from rushing up to her, while Princess Luna had to attend to important meetings with the mayor. Something tells me the mayor is going to have a massive grudge against me. "This way Matthew, we don't have that much time I have to show you what happened" Princess Celestial motioned for me to walk with her around a building that looked as though it was for a newspaper company but now it looked like a half way burnt piece of charcoal. Oh man I felt awful once I saw the crater, cause around the it there was a number of houses, people's homes, gone burnt to a crisp. I was so glad I didn't see a skeleton, then suddenly out of no where my head began to hurt massively, my vision began to blur, princess Celestia took notice of my strange behavior. "Matthew, are you feeling all right"? She asked me. To me she sounded likes she was talking through a fan, I took notice when I began to feel something warm dribble from my nose, I realized I was having a massive nosebleed. That's when the visions started, first I saw a flash of a man who looked liked me but had a scar running down his right eye, had blue hair, and was smiling friendly to someone with him, the vision blurred and it then showed his hands glowing and he had a panicked look on his face, next he was yelling for people to run. The vision then fast forward to him literally glowing a harsh red and exploding in red magic devastating houses and the building. That was when I appeared, exactly right where the man was standing, burnt marks all over my body and people were staring. Somehow I knew the other me's name, it was George hitch. I was suddenly pulled from the murkiness to open my eyes with the princess standing over me with a glowing hand on my head looking down at me with concern, her guards were also staring at me with a questionable look on their faces. "Are you alright, your nose began to bleed and you were behaving strangely before landing face first on the ground-" I interrupted her with a angry look on my face. "You lied to me about my memory Celestia" She had a look of shock on her face as I slowly stood up. Before she could say anything I continued. "That dream I had wasn't a life I wished I had, or what my soul wanted, or whatever"! I began to wipe the dust off of my still burnt clothes. "Those were memories of the man, who looked liked me and who was also taken here to Equestria, a man named George Hitch, I have a lot of questions to ask you but can you only answer this". I pointed towards the middle of the crater. "Why did he look EXACTLY like me"?! The sun princess was obviously thinking of many answers due to her eyes darting around like crazy, so I added this last piece of pressure to make her tell the truth, and to be honest it shocked me also because I didn't sound like myself. "And don't tell me another lie, pinkie promise". This forced her eyes to focus on mine, she sighed. "I will tell you the truth, but not here, as you can see we have caused a audience to surround us". She then motioned to the many magical people around us. This took me by surprise because I didn't even notice, also by the fact that she didn't do the well known Pinkie promise that was invented by a certain hyperactive pink pony on a T.V show, I lowered my shoulders and nodded. I wasn't prepared for the sudden motion sickness effect so when we teleported to a room in the castle, I instantly ran to the nearest trash can and upchucked in it. When I was finished, I turned around and looked at the Princess dead in the eye. I knew she was older than I look and she lived for hundreds possibly thousands of years, so I knew I had no chance to imitate her. She sat down, ignoring my stare, in a chair next to a table with two cups and a kettle settled on a tray. She motioned me to sit down. When I sat down I then took notice of the room, I would have described what was in it until she waved her hand over me and all my clothes were instantly repaired, I was about to stop glaring at her and say thanks but she started talking. "Do you know of a women named Elizabeth" This instantly confused me helping me stop the glare. "Um, there are a lot of girls named Elizabeth that I know of, you should know that". She simply shook her head and motioned to a picture on a dresser across from the room, where there, a small picture in a frame was standing for me to see. As I stood up and walked closer to it I couldn't help but widened my eyes in surprise. Because I realized which Elizabeth she was talking about, but it was hard to believe it, cause in the picture, it showed a certain girl with a blue dress, a necklace with a white bird on it, and she was missing her right pinkie. I could only stand there, stare at the portrait with a confused look on my face and thinking so many things at once, because I only knew this character from a video game. I turned around to the sun princess with the picture in my hand. "How-how is this even possible" I shook the picture in my hand motioning to it, " She's only from a VIDEO GAME"! I guess the princess was expecting that because she simply smiled which her eyes closed. She looked back at me still with her eyes closed. "And what, you can only assume that what you see on a screen can't actually be happening in another realm, or tear as she would call it" She opened her eyes and was giving me a look that actually began to frighten me just a bit. "The memories you are currently having are not from what your soul wishes to remember nor from what your brain makes, that is true," She stood up and motioned me to follow her into another room, " The memories you are having are from the other Matthews, from different realities, and somehow you are receiving them for whenever they would..." She took a pause not opening the door and just looking down at me with a mournful look, making me realize what she was going to say. I hesitated but... I continued that sentence, " D-die?" She nodded and then opened the door to the other room, what I saw will haunt my dreams forever. What I saw was a long never ending hallway that held many doors on the side. Each door was suddenly slammed wide open and so much noise poured out from the hallway, I saw what was inside in most of them. One door showed me, yelling at my parents in a video chat with them while holding a gun to myself another showed me not doing that but smiling and happy. The other ten or twenty doors showed me in many different situations, I was murderer, I was a hero, I was a normal kid, I was girl, I was a loner, I was a tall cool kid guy, etc. I had to look away and focus on my self because I actually began to feel myself, my mind and body and soul, being separated, or torn apart. The princess must have noticed how I was feeling because she closed her eyes and made her hands glow much more brighter than I'd ever seen and then, all was silent. I was breathing heavily, eyes tightly shut, head ringing, and holding my chest so tightly I tore my sweater slightly. I opened my eyes as I felt her hand touch my head, she eased the pain for me and took me outside of the hallway through the same way we came in. She slowly sat me down in a chair to calm myself. When I finally calmed down I looked up at her. "I felt them, all of them, there memories, there feelings, all of it" I wiped my nose,to see that it was bleeding again. "I felt like I was slipping away, I was losing MY memories and began to absorb all the others, like I wasn't being the me me but becoming someone else, I don't know what that place was, but thank you for stopping it" I said while my eyes were watering. Princess Celestia then pulled up another chair and sat right next to me, it was a while before she said anything. "Elizabeth allowed me to have a certain area for tears to appear, it is because if other equestrians felt the energy from a tear, they wouldn't know what to do and would most likely get stuck to the other world that these things lead to", She turned her head and looked down at me, "Somehow, like I said earlier, you are receiving the memories of the other yous from different realities, but as you see these memories you would slowly start to lose your own self, I would ask Elizabeth to come here to help fix this problem but she hasn't been anywhere in my reach lately". A flash of light with a pop and suddenly, princess Luna was in the room with us. She looked obviously tired and a bit happy for some reason. When she saw me she looked concern. "Sister, you told him the truth didn't you". Princess Celestia nodded her head. "Even the hall of tears" Again she nodded. Princess Luna groaned and face palmed herself, while I managed to stop shaking a few minutes ago and was just looking up at the ceiling, lost in a daydream of memories. I was snapped out of it as the night princess was snapping her fingers under my nose. I always hated it whenever someone does that to me but since she was one of my favorite characters, I let it slide. The night princess then walked up to the small table that me and Princess Celesia were sitting next to, and then summoned a luggage bag on it. She began to unzip it and then showed me the contents that were in it. First was a small map of Equestria. She was waving it in my face extremely fast while talking about it, " This is a map for your uses, I know that this may seem strange why we are doing this to you but you will understand, " She then opened the map "It is suited for only you, so if anyone steals it, it won't work" Next was a pair of goggles which I actually found cool, "These are extremely useful in many cases, they will help you see in the dark, they help let you stare at the sun without going blind, help you see things that are really small or far away, and my last favorite," She strapped the goggles onto my eyes and tapped the right lens and everything in the room seemed to slow down except for the two princesses, who began to radiate themselves to move fast," Slow motion feature, it can only do this for 30 seconds per day so use it wisely" Their was a pair of clothes that was made in a short amount of time for me that looked exactly like the clothes I was wearing now, " These may look like you're normal clothes but they are water proof, tear proof, and they can stay clean for up to 12 days " I simply looked at the gray vest replica, I suddenly began to try to tear it apart but it was to no avail, Celestia only giggled a bit. lastly, was a train ticket, Both princesses looked at me and the sun princess spoke first. "I know that in another realm we are only a form of entertainment while in a form of a pony, so I believe that you know where this ticket leads to" Princess Luna then spoke up ," The reason why we are sending you there is that my sister's student, Twilight Sparkle, might be able to attend to your problems with her science, just don't do anything rash that may lead her to go, how do I say, crazy" I couldn't help but smile like an idiot, I was going to be sent to a town were the famous mane six lived. Princess Luna put everything except the goggles that I had over my head back into the luggage bag and tossed me it. I caught it and swung the strap over my right shoulder and stood up, I felt a bit light headed but the sun princess helped me stand. I wasn't ready for the sudden teleportation because I ended up dry heaving at what I believed was the train station. I quickly put my goggles on and through my hood over my head and walked towards the train, I made sure to give the train conductor a friendly smile that might have weirded him out. I soon found a seat in the back of the train and made myself comfy, I pulled out my mini-map and looked at the tiny spot called Pony Ville. I wondered why it was called that in a human version of Equestria but I didn't want to think hard about it, the map said that it would be about 50 miles from here and I looked at the clock on the wall and it showed the time. 10:42 P.M, I suddenly felt exhausted from today and closed my eyes, as I felt my body welcome sleep I could only give myself one question that ended up making me softly cry in my sleep. Does anyone even know I'm gone from home? Author's Note So exhausted yet hyped up on soda, but I did it!
A new enemy.I was jolted awake to the sound of screaming and what I believed to be gunshots. The questions that happened to appear in my slowly waking mind was "what the hell?" To "magic anyone?" and then to " OH GOD"! I had to frantically wipe the dried tear grime off of my face and make sure I had all my stuff. As I was heading to the door to the other train cart it suddenly opened and I was face to face with a guy who was pure black, wore dark clothes, had fly wings, and had the eyes of a fly... A changeling. It suddenly burst into the familiar green flames that disappeared right as they formed revealing a copy of me. To be honest, my mind was still adjusting to appearing in a fictional world and having multiple "me" memories appear even in my dreams. So as I stared at my doppelgänger, I smiled widely showing my canines( I still had my goggles on so I must've looked a bit crazy scary) making my doppelgänger take a step back, and quickly sucker punch it in the face and began to fight it with my adrenaline rushing and with many emotions appearing on my face. "I was brought here for no reason"! I forcefully grabbed it's right arm and punched the left side of it's chest making it grunt in pain. "Forced to be stuck in a pool of memories forged for no freakin reason" I was suddenly punched in the left shoulder letting go of it's arm while it shoved me back into last train cart. I was then stunned by a hit to the right side of my head, my heart was racing so fast pumping more and more adrenaline that the changeling began to slow down my whole mind was filled with rage for me to take notice. After a few minutes of beating the living crap out of the changeling leaving it unconscious, I just realized what happened. I didn't question it though because I began to the roof being pried open by a pair of hands, no doubt more changelings. My body was aching as I ran to the other train cart from the bruises that were swelling and even my right ear was ringing. What I saw only made my my blood boil because I saw a group changelings kicking a crying equestrian kid with wings with his parents being held back, they didn't even see me coming because I activated the 30-second enchantment on my my goggles and swung my luggage at the slow moving heads. At the speed I was going I instantly KO'd them, I made sure not to even touch the kid because I knew science, and at my speed, I would just give him a nasty bruise. The enchantment wore off and I slowly helped him up as I tried not to touch any of his bruises. His parents themselves had some nasty cuts on there arms and wings, but when there saw me helping out there kid they just stared. The father spoke with fear "Wha-what are you"? It was sad to see them afraid of me, I decided to change that. I pulled back my hood and lowered my goggles to dangle around my neck. "I'm just like you" I said to the parents as I lightly put a hand on the father's and mother's shoulder as they still continued to hug there son, " But from a different reality" They looked at each other for a moment then back at me with a look on their faces. They obviously thought I was crazy. I knew they wanted to say something but I ran out of that train cart into the other as I made my way to the train's engine. Luckily I didn't see any changelings but I did see some dried blood on the floor. I was obviously losing myself from having to accept what's happening to me but I forced my self to continue running, even if I was in pain. It took a lot of effort I made it to the engine room, what confused me was the fact that there was no one in it. All I saw were many levers, a big pile of coal, and of course, a furnace....kinda cliche really. I just stood there scanning the room because I knew if their was a engine room, then their outa be a engineer or something. I turned around to only see a black blur and suddenly feel pain in my right side. I keeled over and struggled to not cry, I managed to do that by doing mixtures of growls and grunts in pain. I looked up and saw another changeling, it raised it's right hand to show a knife and my face paled. I never got into a fight like this in my life, luckily, or un-luckily a quick memory popped itself into my head. It showed me actually trying to fight back, but I died due to blood loss from the cuts and pushing myself to far. When the memory ended I was still keeled over but the pain was gone, I was literally shaking with energy now as I gave the changeling a smile that would creep even the devil out. I didn't know why but I roared in a crazed angry fashion as I launched myself at him. All I remember is seeing red as I punched its arm with the knife over and over until I heard a scream of pain. When I came to, I saw it's body on the floor with its right arm in a angle that shouldn't be possible, I stared in horror and threw up, the only thought that eased me want that at least I didn't kill the doppelgänger. It began to stir again and I jumped back in fright, I quickly shook it off and grabbed it by the color of it's shirt and threatened it. I tried bluffing in my threat, "If you don't tell me how to stop this train I will throw you into the burning furnace myself" The changeling actually bought it and tried pointing with its left arm but failed due to the pain it was in, I slowly lowered the changeling down and ran towards the lever and pulled it. I heard the familiar grinding noise a train would do as it slows down. I looked back at the changeling and felt guilty for what I did to it in my fit of rage. I took off my jacket and slowly and gently lifted its right arm, I wasn't a doctor but I could tell I dislocated it. The changeling kept murmuring something as it tried to stay conscious, I brought my head closer to listen. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry please don't hurt me" I gently placed my hand on its head and tried to calm it down as I whispered, "I'm sorry as well, now please don't be angry with me" I pulled as gently and swiftly on the arm until I saw the arm go back into place A.K.A it went back in the socket. I honestly had a hard time trying not to hurl in the process, once I was done caring for the changeling, I looked down at my sweater, and wrapped it around teh changeling's neck and tied it around its arm for a sling so that it wouldn't move the sore arm. "That lever over there" It muttered before slipping unconscious pointing at a lever that was to the left of me. I settled the changeling into a sitting position and ran towards the lever, I pulled down as hard as I could and smiled as I heard the familiar screeching noise of the brakes. I turned around to thank the changeling but it was gone, then I began hearing a voice in my head. The voice was extremely familiar "Why not burn the place down, I mean c'mon the equestrians there FEAR you, they HATE you." I shook my head in response as I looked around the engine room to see if there was a mic or someone saying all this. " Suit yourself, but just remember this, the worst enemy to face...is YOURSELF"! At that last word my whole body was enveloped in the same colored mist that actually brought me here, "You only have one two choices my friend, either you can return to your domain and forget about any of the many events that has happened to you." There was a moment of silence," Or you can stay and see this world be enveloped with the chaos that I' will bring" The mist began to move away from me and started to take form.I couldn't tell what it was until I took a few steps back in fright, because the man who stood in front of me....was me. The me that stood there was wearing a long dark brown coat, had white gloves, and was wearing a top hat, but what frightened me the most was his face skin color(Not being racist)it was black, just pure black. He had no nose or mouth but just pale white eyes, and even though he had no facial expression, I could tell he was smiling. "I'm so glad we could meet face to face, though I didn't expect you to live this far from your wounds" He pointed at my left arm and I immediately screamed as I felt pain. The me laughed, jumped over me, and kicked me in the back making me topple over and land on my elbows. He leaned down and looked into my eyes. He then spoke with a hint of laughter in his voice, "Do you know your last name Matthew"? That question caused me to freeze, I, I didn't even know what my last name was....how!? I soon turned my pained face into a face full of anger. "Ohhh a tough guy now we, I'll tell you what, I'm gonna send you to ponyville but with a special present with that gift of yours" He flicked my head causing my head to feel all tingly. "There, now that's out of the way, to ponyville you go"! He grabbed me by the back of my vest and grabbed the bag that held my stuff. I was about to say something when we were suddenly enveloped in a flash of white. The next thing I know I was on a dinner table as a family of four walked into room talking, but they stopped when they saw me with wide eye. My mind was mentally tired but it still registered what I was seeing, green eyes, girl with a ribbon, another with a cowboy hat, a tall buff guy and a old women, yep, the Apple family. I couldn't help but take notice that red pool was forming around me. I looked at my left arm as my vision was blurring and saw a deep gash. I couldn't help but chuckle a bit and say, "Well how bout that" and was about to topple over onto the floor but Big Mac caught me. I knew I had to stay awake to explain to them what was going one but the amount of blood I was loosing said otherwise. I closed my eyes as I allowed my body to calm down. My last thought was "I hope my parents are alright" then I was out. Author's Note As our protagonist sleeps what do you suppose the apple family will say when he awakens.... Nevermind don't answer that. Sorry for this AWFULLY LATE chapter. I'm not sure if this chapter will help but soon I'll bee doing some editing. Also how can I put a YouTube link in a word?
