Beep….Beep..beep…..beep..Beep...Beep
Ugh that sucked….. wait I'm alive?! I try to move my arms,surprisingly I can move them. Then I try to move my hands and fingers, they work too. ok arms and hands work, now my legs and feet. I then proceed to test my legs, other than a little numb, no problems. Now my...huh? I can't feel my toes?! Nononono this can be happening THEY CUT OFF MY FEET?! THAT'S NOT GOOD….no not now I need to check the rest me. Checking the rest only problem I had is a little pain all over, but it's not too bad. Ok my mentally I'm working physically my body feels fine. Now my eyes ,oh the headache I'm about to have, ok on three….one….two...fuck it. I suddenly open my eyes just to immediately close them. Yep bright lights of a hospital room go figure.
“ugh damn that's bright” I say with a groan.
Click
Oh shit someone has walked in! I hope it isn't the D.U.P. please, whatever gods are listening, let it not be them.
“ah it seems you are finally awake. How are you feeling?” a feminine voice says to my right.
Oh so I'm either one the left side or the front of the building.I think for a few seconds before I ask. “did anyone catch the license plate of that bus that hit me?I'd like to sue the driver.”
“huh? What is a bus?” the voice said in confusion.
Ok that's weird. I thought as flags started to spring up in my mind.
“ok sir I need to ask you a few questions for medical purposes. Can you answer them for me?” she ask me snapping me out of my thoughts.
“huh oh ya I'll answer a few questions.” I said hopefully they are not to invasive.
“ok have you tried to move any of your arms,hands,legs,or hooves with in the last few minutes?” she ask.
“ya I have check they are either a little numb or sore….wait did you just say hooves?” I said clenching my still closed eyes.
“yes I did.why?” she said.
At that I bolted upright,eyes flying open, to see that instead of a human nurse asking me questions it was a mutated human/horse hybrid in a WAY to revealing nurses outfit.
“ahhh get back!” shout as I kept out of the bed, startling her.
“sir! you need to calm down!” she said trying to calm me down, but I wouldn't have it.
“NO! stay back!” I screamed as I backed up to the window. Looking out I was on the fourth floor. That jump is going to suck but anything to escape.
“sir please calm down and tell me what's wrong.” she said backing up.
“NO! I'm not going to calm down! What are you?!” shouted frustration and fear clear in my voice.
“my name is nurse red heart and I'm a pony, a unicorn to be specific. You are in ponyville general hospital.”
“no that… can't…. NO this is some new trick the dup is using I'm not falling for it.” I shouted shoving the bed over and jumping at the window, which shattered on impact.
My hasty escape shredded the hospital pants and shirt I had on, causing me to be cut. So when I finally hit the ground it was no shock that those creatures were scared at the sight of me.
Lucky I didn't stick around, I just bolted the moment I landed, shoving several of the creatures out of my way,my only priority hide. So I did ran into a nearby forest.
Twilight’s P.O.V.
After Jack's escape.
“what the hell was his problem?” rainbow dash said helping two of her friends up after they were bowled over by the strange stallion.
“oh no that was the stallion I accidentally summoned.” I said in worried tone.
“well sugarcube it looked like he ran inta the everfree forest.” applejack said in a concerned tone.
“oh celestia we need to find him before he gets hurt or worse!” I said with a scared tone.
“well what are we waiting for? Come on girls we have a stallion to rescue.” rainbow dash said taking flight. With that we took off after him.
Jack's P.O.V.
Deep in the forest.
Ugh this place is a maze five minutes and I'm lost and the compass I created isn't working. Shit this isn't good. I thought as I tossed the useless compass away from me. I need away defend myself in here. Ah a gun should work but what gun…. Oh I have one it's an oldie but still a goodie let me bring it out. I thought as I generated the Pistolet-Pulemyot Shpagina 41 or ppsh-41 for short. Damn Russians were crazy, geniuses for this beauty, but crazy. I thought as I checked the mag to see it was fully loaded. Sliding mag back in and pulling the chamber bolt handle,chambering a round, I smiled. Now I feel safe. I thought happily. My thoughts were cut off by screaming nearby. By the pitch there were multiple beings and whoever they are, were female. Oh Shit someone was in danger, but what if they attack me?
“SOMEPONY…..ANYPONY…..HELP!!!!!” a voice said. Fear was tangible in their voice
Shit they are kids… aww hell I ain't gonna abandon em. I finally decided running at full speed I kept over logs and slid under branches finally coming up to the area the screaming came from to see three smaller horse people trapped against a boulder by several wooden wolves.
Well that is new, but no time to wonder they need help. With that thought I sucked in a large breath and stepped out unleashing a shrill whistle which took the wolves attention off is the kids. Step one worked now to take the wolves out. With that I started walking to the right the wolves moving left good almost got the kids out of my firing zone just a little bit more…. There perfect. With them out of harm's way I turned to the kids saying” hey you three close your eyes and cover your ears it's about to get a little loud.”
“o-ok.” they said covering their ears and hiding their heads.
“now to you wolves you have done something fatal. You threaten children with me in the area now I'm pissed.” I said in a dark tone.
The wolves visibly halted their movements now more hesitant to attack.
“bad news for you, you're dead now.” I said with a sadistic laugh. That point I aimed and squeezed the trigger and let the bullets fly.
What ever offence the wolves had was obliterated by the high rate of fire from my gun quickly reduced to a pile of sawdust.
With them dealt with I walked over and squatted down in front of the three children and tapped them saying. “it's ok. The wolves are gone.”
“thank you mister. Ah thought we were gonners this time.” the yellow one said.
“ya if you hadn't came along we wouldn't have escaped them.” the orange one said.
“ya we-ouch my leg.” the white one said after trying to stand.
“hey you ok?” I ask a little concerned.
“I I think my leg is broken.” she said with tears.
“hey it's ok let me help you.” I said sitting down and charging up my techno healing power.
“w-will it hurt?” she ask a little scared.
“no it will help. I've helped others with it. They never said it hurt.” I said as I placed my hands on the injured leg. Ripping the side to get a view of the injured area.
“ok please help me.” she said.
With that I fired the healing ray which fixed her leg. Her friends gasped at the light show. After a few seconds it ended and I helped her to her fee-hooves she gasped and looked at me smiling she said. “it worked! thank you mister! I'm sweetie belle.”
“it's no problem. Now let's get y'all home.” I said.
“ok” they said as I turned around. As we began to leave six others ran into the clearing.
“Applebloom are ya ok?” a orange being said running up to the yellow child. “he didn't hurt ya did he?”
“no sis he saved us from a pack of timberwolves.” Applebloom said.
“is this true you two?” she ask the other ones
“yes ma'am he saved us.” the sweetiebelle said.
“ ya he came in and totally kick those timberwolves flanks!” the orange kid said.
About that time two others came and wrapped the other two in hugs. But the white ones sister noticed she had a rip on the side of her pants she gasped saying. “sweetie belle what happened to you clothes?”
“oh that sorry I did that.” I said scratching the back of my head.
“and what do you mean by that, huh?” the rainbow haired one said.
“well I ripped it so I could fix her leg. She broke it running from the wolves. I used my healing ray on the wound.” I said giving the ‘what the hell do you think I was doing’ look.
“oh... well that was nice of ya. “ the orange one said.
“ya one of the few things I pride myself on is that I care about kids. It's one of my best traits. You see I've always been good with em. Not know what it is but children hold a soft spot with me and I don't like it when they are hurt.” I explained as we started walking back.
“ so what's that in your hands?” the purple one ask.
“this? It's a weapon, a machine gun to be precise. The Pistolet-Pulemyot Shpagina 41 or ppsh-41 for short. Its an older model gun from where I'm from miss…” I said hopping over a fallen tree.
“oh my name is twilight sparkle. And you are?” she ask.
“oh my name is James Jack Hackett, some call me Jack though. Others refer to me through my various nicknames, but I won't bore you with details on them.” I said looking away from her.
“why? What is wrong with your nicknames that you don't like them? Are they suppose to be scary or something?” the pink one ask.
“ Some of them are others not at all. But the one everyone knows me by is kind of threatening.” I admitted.
“it can't be all that bad sugarcube.” the orange one said.
“my designated name given to me by D.U.P. was the Angel of death miss…” I said tensing up.
“oh that does sound a bit intimidating darling.oh and I'm rarity” the taller white one said.
“ya what are the rest of your names. I only got miss sparkle and miss rarity names.” I said stepping outside the trees.
“oh ma name is applejack and this is ma younger sister Applebloom.” the orange one said placing a hand on the yellow ones shoulder.
“hiyamynamespinkiepieandthankyouforsavingthecmcnowigettothrowyouaparty.”the pink on started be for Applejack shut her up saying. “sorry that's pinkie pie.”
“I'm rainbow dash most awesome pegasus ever.” the rainbow haired one said.
“I'm Fluttershy. “ the yellow one said.
“eh what was that miss? I didn't quite catch that.” I said leaning in.
“ I I'm Fluttershy.” she whispered.
“Fluttershy? Is that what she said? My ears are still ringing a bit from earlier.” I said shaking my head.
“ya she is a bit timid but she will warm up to you.” twilight said.
“ah ok so if you don't mind me askin what are y'all?” I ask.
“we're ponies like you silly.” pinkie said.
“I'm not a pony, I'm a human.” I said confused.
“well sugarcube ya are a pony.” applejack said.
“no I'm human loo-” I began but stopped as I raised my arm. It was covered in fur that was orange.
“eh ya ok there sugarcube?” applejack ask.
I stood there for some time looking at my arm.nononono this can't be happening! this can't be! I'M A FUCKING HORSE PERSON NOW!?!
“Jack are you ok?” said placing a hand on my shoulder.
“h-how d-did this h-happen.” I stuttered.
“you were pulled here by a spell I was casting, the book said it was a scring spell not a portal spell.” twilight admitted looking at the ground sadly.
“you mean you did this to me?” I said.
“yes but I didn't mean to. Something went wrong with the spell.” she said.
“ can you send me back?” I said.
“it doesn't have a return spell. I'm sorry.” she said tears swelling up in her eyes.
“so I’m...I'm stuck here?” I said crouching down to keep me from puking.
“yes.” was all she said.
The others were all preparing for what my reaction would be.
“I'm stuck here away from the dup, away from the religious crazies, from the bigots that looked down on my type.” I whispered.
Like a flash of lightning, I bolted forward and warped twilight in a bone crushing hug. The others gasped and turned to help only to see me not hitting her.
“ok I'm confused? She stole him from his home and he is hugging her?” rainbow said.
“ya got me sugarcube”.” applejack said scratching her head.
“ J-Jack you're squeezing me to death.” twilight gasped.
“oh sorry I was just happy. You probably saved my life by bringing me here.” I said letting her go.
“oh how? Your life couldn't have been that bad?” she said.
“I had just escaped from a prison that houses others like me. Innocent people who had unique abilities that the dup thought were dangerous. They arrested us without reason and experimented on us. If you hadn't pulled me from their I probably would have been killed later on.” I said.
“that's horrible darling is the clothes you were wearing your prison uniform?” rarity ask.
“no I ditched it after I took refuge in a cave that is what I made so that I wouldn't freeze because of the cold.” I said.
“oh what do you mean by made?” she ask.
“oh I'm a conduit, a person who was affected by the empire city event. Several years ago when I was really young there was an explosion in empire city that killed several hundred people. A guy named Cole McGrath accidentally set it off, after a mysterious package delivery he was specifically asked to do, from their conduits started to show all over the place.”I said.
“are all conduits like you?” twilight ask.
“No some like me,Cole,and a guy named Delsin Rowe, were good, some were bad, and some just wanted to be left alone,be neutral during it. I tried to help other people even formed a conduit crime fighting group, but I'm all that's left of that.” I said looking at them sadly.
“oh what happened to the others?” Fluttershy ask.
“I don't want to talk about it right now.” I said in a flat tone.
“Oh ok sorry.” she stammered hiding behind her mane.
By that time we had finally left the forest and were on our way into the town.
“Soho uh what are the others here like?” I said.
“oh well the ponies here are friendly but are a bit skittish around new ponies.” twilight said.
“oh that is better than I expected.” I said.
As we neared two lights home we could see at least thirty others with Romanesque armor. One didn't have a helmet was talking to three others in royal clothing.
“uh twilight what are they here for?” I ask a little concerned.
I don't know, I'll ask right quick.” she said.
“look there he is! “one of the guards shouted, pointing at me.
This won't end well, FUCKING perfect! What did I-
Slam!
