Scar in Equestria...
Ponies? That can talk?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterChapter 1: Ponies? That can talk?
Scar sat up, glancing around the forest he had appeared in. "A forest? Wonder if there's any forms of intelligent life around."
After wandering about for a while Scar reached a cliff, with a manticore not far off. "Really,” he groaned, “a manticore? Well that's just great. Where to go now..."
Sadly enough for Scar, the manticore noticed him and attacked.
"Shit. I could really use the help of the others now." Weak points, where are it's weak points?! The manticore's tail barely missed Scar’s head. "This just isn't my day, isn’t it!?" He smashed his hand into the manticore's side but got a stinger in his shoulder in return."AARRG! You stupid overgrown cat!" He crushed the manticore's head into the ground with his hand.
"Perfect. Just, perfect. I've been transported to a unknown place by some clown and now my left arm is paralyzed. Best day ever."
After some time shuffling along he reached the edge of the forest and saw a wooden cottage just past the forest’s edge.
"Interesting... but I really... need some... medical help..."
As he neared the cottage he felt the last of his energy drain away and he collapsed. He slipped out of consciousness. If he had been awake while laying there he would be amazed by the crimson light that surrounded his body, turning it into a big stallion with a blue coat, a black tail and a long, black mane with a shattered music note as his cutie mark. He still had his oversized teeth and his front legs were black, but the legs now fit his form more readily.
As he opened his eyes the next morning he was greeted by a bright light. 'Probably still laying outside on the ground.' He tried to get up but was halted by a gentle but firm hoof. 'Wait, a hoof?' He looked up and saw a yellow pony with a long, pink mane. Apparently, she helped him recover, and he noticed he was inside of a cottage.
Scar didn’t expect the meek voice. "You should stay there and wait until you're fully recovered, if that’s fine with you, that is." Questions burned in his head. 'Why did she help me? And how am I actually fitting in this bed? And why can't I feel my fingers and toes anymore? And how can she talk?!'
The pony continued. "You were very sick when I found you. I'm kind of surprised that you can already move again. No offense..."
"None taken." Scar looked down at a white little bunny glaring at him like he's trying to say ‘get up and get out.’
"Excuse me, but why is that bunny looking at me like that? It's a bit unnerving."
Fluttershy poked her head around Scar to look at the feisty creature. "Oh, that's Angel. He seems a bit grumpy but he's actually very nice and helpful. But how can you see him? You're eyes are covered by your bandages and mane."
"I know. It's just that my sight’s a bit enhanced.” He also took note of the smell in the room, which was enough to turn his stomach but apparently didn’t affect the other pony. “And my sense of smell... unfortunately. Anyway, my name is Scar. What's your name?"
"My name is, um, Fluttershy,” the mare breathed, almost under the range of hearing.
"Could you repeat that?"
"My name is Fluttershy."
"That's a nice name. Could you, uh, tell me where I am and how much I’ve recovered from the poison?"
"Well, you're in my house, close to Ponyville. You've healed very fast so you should probably be able to walk in two days."
'Ponyville, huh? I think I had better play along with this. Note to self: I'm a blue pony... Pretty weird.'
"Twilight is coming over to see if there's anything else that I couldn't find."
"Who?" Scar shifted a bit.
"Twilight, she's one of my friends and she knows a lot. I noticed that your bone structure is a bit different from the average earth pony, so I figured she might be able to find out more..."
'Twilight... Maybe she could help me find the others... Hopefully she doesn't find out that I’m not really a pony originally.'
"Are you okay? You seem to be quiet a lot. Not that there's anything wrong with that..."
"No, I'm fine. No need to worry." 'Great job Scar, you're scaring her.'
"Oh, okay. Would you like something to eat? You've been out for a whole day, so you must be hungry."
'I wonder if I still eat meat... Judging by the teeth, I could do either that or plants.' "Yes, I would like some food."
"Okay, I’ll be right back..."
While Fluttershy was in the kitchen, the bunny kept glaring, much to Scar's annoyance. "Would you please stop looking at me like that?" Angel simply continued glaring. “Please, stop.” No change. “I said stop.” The bunny hardened his gaze. “Stop it. Don’t make me angry!” Despite it all, Angel didn’t let up. “I said STOP!” Scar practically roared the last part at the bunny, who flew towards the wall. A few windows shattered to hundreds of tiny pieces. "Oops..."
Fluttershy came running back into the room. "Oh my, what happened? Why are the windows broken? Why is Angel knocked out?"
"I roared at the bunny because he kept glaring at me. I didn't know it would break the windows. Sorry."
"It's okay. I should be able to clean this up before Twilight gets here."
"Here, let me help." Scar got up with absolutely no trouble and walked over to the broken windows.
Fluttershy nearly fell over from surprise. "Y-you shouldn't be able to walk at all! A-and you don't need to help, really."
"Why not? I did break the windows."
Almost half an hour later, the two ponies had finished cleaning the mess up and had eaten a small meal. 'I never knew hay could taste so good...'
Fluttershy piped up. "Excuse me, but I noticed that your cutie mark is a shattered music note. Is your special talent breaking things with your voice? I mean, no offense..."
"None taken. But, what is a cutie mark? And what do you mean by ‘my special talent?’" Scar furrowed his brow.
Fluttershy seemed confused about Scar’s lack of knowledge. "Well, your cutie mark appears when you discover your special talent. It's strange that you don't know about it."
Just then, a knock came at the door. "Oh, that must be Twilight. I'll get the door."
"Hi Fluttershy!” Twilight spoke a little too loudly, “Is he in the living room?"
"Um, yes. Are you okay Twilight? You look a bit overworked and - Eep!" Fluttershy squealed as Twilight rushed past her.
Suddenly, a violet unicorn with a frazzled mane and tail and a twitchy eye came storming into the room. "Aha! Maybe YOU’RE the disturbance I felt a while back!"
'Oh come on! The only one that knows what's going on has gone paranoid!? Only one thing left to do.' "Crap."
