Prologue part 2- First Contact, Bad Memories, and A.I.
Previous ChapterNext Chapter-My Mind-
I was having an impression of a huge explosion that literally, kill me! If I'm think'in of that, then I've mistaken.
There are three small forms! One on the left is Nightmare Moon, just stares at me in thought. To the right is what my memories tell me is Sombra and the one who infected my arm, who is look away in annoyance. But the one in the middle caught my eye.
It was a teenage girl in a straight, sleeveless, white gown, light green harem pants with dark green thong underneath it. Mid-size, silver armor shoes, like the medieval times. Her hair is light-blue with silver-star dust, twinkle in and out of existence, even her hair lit up and dims! Her peach colored skin, if I know female knowledge, she has C-cup breast- wait- stop, why does it feel normal to me, i'm a male! And why am I looking at them in the first place, okay, look somewhere else- QUICK! Back to index quickly. As I look at her skin that looks smooth as silk. And lastly her eyes, they are pink colored pupil's.
Changing the subject failed. She must have know-dis me staring at her chest earlier, cause she cross her arms around her breast and cradled it as she smirk, I blush. Dam hormones, why can't you just leave me ALONE! She put her arm back to her sides, that made the blush go away soon after. Seriously, I think she did that on purpose!
I was immediately assaulted by a black face with aquamarine, slit eyes! A high pitch, thunderous voice! "What have you done?!" Nightmare Moon yelled.
That caught me off guard as I fell on my hindquarter and shiver for a while! But I ask out of confusion. "What did I do?"
"You're suppose to be in here, not ME!" Nightmare Moon gestured with her hooves to me, then to herself. "You shall hand over my body right NOW!" She demanded, using the Royal Canterlot Voice, being impassioned. "What are you waiting for, HURRY UP!"
As I got up to my feet; I whispered. "No." An echo repeating the word over and over to my head. My memories come to me, like a waterfall filling a lake, I remember what she is and what she did! I shouted in anger. "NO! This is my body, not yours! you've already lost! Just accept it and move on with you're life!" I just realized what I said, gasp I clamp my hands over my mouth, my voice sounds feminine and using the Royal Canterlot Voice! I shriek. "Wha, What's happening? Whats going on! What did thou DO to us?!" Somethings' changed, feeling myself in confusion and fright.
Nightmare Moon, just, vanish! Sombra walk up to me and said in a serious, echoed voice. "You may be in control... But, you'll not escape our pain, hatred, fear, joy, and sadness. But, we'll be here in your heart. Never forget that!" He show his sinister grin as he disappear, like Nightmare Moon.
Only me and the teenage girl, left in darkness. I felt a-quirt for just me, and a her, alone. 'What do I do? What do I say? What do we talk about?'
I looked at her, but shes looking at her twiddling thumbs, her legs rubbing against one another, shes nervous! I'll use this as an opportunity. but I have to be careful on using the 'Royal We'. "Hello! Whats thou're name?" I never seen her before, so, I'll start their, I hope she isn't mean or gonna tease me like earlier.
Hearing me speak up, she look at me, she gently said. "M, my names A.I."
'A.I.?' I thought. That confused me for a sec before remembering an A.I. means Artificial Intelligence. 'That's her name!' I look at her to give her my name, in politeness. "We're Kye, Kye Balmant. But, thou can call us Balmant!"
She giggle. "You having problem with speaking." I node and she responded. "But you sound so cool, without the girl voice."
But everything must come to an end, my sight is shaded in black as she said. "I'll be waiting for your call!" I fell to sleep.
I was surprised for what I saw! I'm back inside the same ruin castle, in the same room. I think its called Castle of The Two Pony Sister (C.O.T.T.P.S.) or what I like to call, Everfree Ruins.
-???, Equestria, Everfree Ruins-
I look at myself, notice that I'm still Nightmare Moon except, I'm the size of Luna, which I remembered earlier. My looks, are a bit different. Instead of a ethereal mist mane and tail, its a blue and purple thick mane and tail. A broken glass in front of me revealed that my eyes outer color is white and still has aquamarine, slit eyes. Lastly I have only two sets of canine teeth's as the others are all herbivores teeth and that's fine with me!
I attempt to get up to my full height, only for me to get exhaustion and pain as I tumbled down. Started to have a coughing fit for a while, until I hear a group of feet- no, not feet, but hooves too. As my sight gone to a blur, all three blur, wait, theirs multiple of them. My vision has gone black as I gone to a comma.
*Static* I seen myself on a medical bed in a hospital. *Static* I hear some beeping from one of those heart monitor. *beep* As I looked into my burnt hand, still feel'in the numbness. I clutched my hands out of pain and sorrow. Still mentally scarred from my fathers death. *Static*
A day later, *Static* one nurse came to my room, give me some bad news. "*Static* *Static* *Static* *Static*"
I started to scream my frustration at her, out of anger. She flinch and ran, calling for a doctor. I stand up and took off the hospital dress and into my clothes, my right arm weren't the only things that are burn, both my sides, thighs, and even my back.
The mirror in front of me shows my face, I have three scars. Two on my right cheeks to the base of the right ear, and one on my right brow to my right forehead. My whole right arm is all charcoal colored too and has a large scar that runs from wrist to shoulder! *Static*
Putting my clothes on, I flinch! It hurts, yes, But I have to ignore it as much as possible. It's a reminder for all the lost ones that died. *Static*
As I got my things, I could've sworn that I've seen a doctor with some restraints that's coming this way, I think fast. *Static* So lucky the floor i'm in is nearly on the ground floor, and my room has an open window too! *Static* As they got closer, I jumped through the window and landed with a thud. Getting up after the pain from my contact on the ground and ran away! *Static* *Static* *Static*
Hearing some mumbling gotten higher, as I'm awaking up. My eyelid rose halfway open, me seeing... bars! An actual steel rod could only mean one thing, i'm in a cage, I am doomed! The gears in my head finally caught up to me and I started to freak out! "WHA- what happen? WHERE am we? WHY am we in a cage?!" I shouted, fear creeping up. Hearing nothing for about a five minutes, a sudden childish emotion of crying is coming, I must control myself.
Without me know-tic, a white, tall pony that's the size of a horse, have an aurora color, ethereal mane that has wings and horn, Alicorn, if i'm right, walk inside a throne room. Four more alicorns, two Earth ponies, two pegasi, two unicorns and six unicorn guards walked in after her. They stand, about a few feet away from my prison, except for pink mane and yellow pegasi mare, which is behind a orange mare with stetsons hat. Theirs a mixture of emotions between fear, anger, curiosity and serious.
One mare in particular, walking forward is a alicorn. She has a ethereal, nebula mane and tail, her fur is navy blue and wearing a black tiara, blue metal slippers on all fours, and a black necklace, part chest plate. Shes giving me a mash of serious and angered expression. "How did thou survive, thou cursive Monster?!" She demand, putting more venom into 'Monster'.
She was shock at my action! I scampered to the other side of the cage, laying down with a shaken form. I cover my face with my hoofs, a few tears come and go as it turn to sobbing, away from their view.
I didn't know-tic me being four inch shorter then Twilight Sparkle, for my fears have clouded my mind and my childish antic has replaced my voice. My whimpers have sounded like a young child!
It didn't went un-know-tic, hearing a sets of hoofs walking toward me from behind, and stop. I gave a glance over my shoulder to see little Nyx. "A-are you alright?" She ask in a low voice. She must have saw me crying, or my wet face, cause her eyes widen! I could've sworn, I heard a few gasp, and rambling from behind her. She trot up to me...
And hugged me!
I can hear fast hoofs getting closer and I look, seeing both Twilight and Luna running to Nyx, even though shes still holding me.
I feel... something, things that I, never felt for a long time. Warmth, love, a welcome embrace! Three... three, long years. With no one to help me through the worst times. She, she's the first to comfort me. To my surprise, my body change to Nyx height! I gave in to the embrace, I gave her a hug. My eyes started to water as it slide off my cheeks, she and the two coming up to us, seeing my display. Nyx felt one of my tears.
Nyx looked up at me to see my expression. Sees tears and joys, the others where surprised instead! But Nyx, smiling!
"Y-yes. Th, thank thou!" I said in 'Royal We'. Rub the tears out of my eyes, but tears didn't stop coming. Why can't I stop crying!
Princess Luna walk up to me, clear her throat to get our attention. "If thou mind to answer, Who are thou?" she sound serious, but curiosity in her tone.
I try to respond as best I could. "M *sniff* my names, Kye, Kye Balmant. Who *sniff* who are you? If that's all right." I ask in a sobbing voice.
Her eyebrow gone up, and return to neutral expression; "We, I, am Luna. Princess of the night, and protector of dreams. That's a strange name, what does it mean?" Gesturing to me in amusement... is she insulting my name!
"K *sniff* Kye means X, a-and Balmant is a name of a famous *sniff* Vampire Hunter." I'm still not comfortable to talk with higher up, and i'm still sobbing.
"Hm... how do I know that thou aren't lying?" She wasn't convince.
I decided to tell her the truth with the old Info report.
"Th, thou *sniff* w, want to *Sniff* know? We're, *Hiccup* not from this world, *Sniff* We kn, know thou *sniff* all an-and, what thou did." I gesture them with my shaken hoofs.
All eyes widen and turn their heads to the orange mare, for what she has to say. The Earth pony, Applejack by name, just giving me a serious glance...
For about five minutes of staring, her eyes widen as she node. "Shes tell'in the truth!" Applejack gave me a sincere smile. "If ya know then who am I?"
I finally got ride of the tears. "W-we're- I mean- your name is Applejack, or AJ, for short. W-we're live in an apple farm n-named Sweat Apple Acre, you're the-the Bearer of Honesty, and you came b-b-b-back home, when you were a filly, a-after the 'Rainboom', from Rainbow Dash's r, race."
I got a lot of jaw dropping from every pony; including AJ, which her's is more expressed.
Someone is pulling on my leg. I looked to see the black Alicorn filly with a questioning look. "Y-you know me?!" Nyx ask.
"You are... Nyx, or the rebirth Nightmare Moon. But I like the name Nyx. It sounds like a name for a knight, and your name is so, beautiful!" I said, and she blush, but she shook it off. I couldn't help but giggled.
"Are you, an alien, or Nightmare Moon, or something so amazing?!" Nyx spoke all cheery. Everypony else rolled their eyes.
I chuckled, I like children's enthusiasm. "I, am..." Before I can answer, I felt my consciousnesses leaving the station, fell to the ground with a large *THUD* thud. I heard gasp as I blacked out. I hope i'll see Nyx again, shes a nice filly!
