"For every age there is a time of trial. The rocks faced such a fire before they were the strength beneath our feet.The plants braved vast winds before their roots could give us life."
- Samos Hagai, Intro Jak 2

PoV: Jak
Location: Everfree forest, Precursor platform in the middle of a lake
Time: 10:00 A.M

After Twilight asked why I was the only one of my kind, I knew that if I stayed long enough I would change, so I left before I could do or say anything and went to an old Precursor platform in a lake.

I could feel myself slowly change, back then it was a good thing, I had full control of my actions but ever since they've infused me with Dragon DNA I lose control and turn into a eight foot tall raging anthro dragon and the worst part is that I still have full use of my Eco powers even as a raging drake.

I could feel my shoes rip as they grew sharp nails. My shirt wasn't any different, it ripped off as wings, real wings, sprouted out my back while a tail formed and snaked it's way out of my pants, miraculously not breaking them.

I saw my skin slowly start to turn pale, as it slowly changed I saw that a few areas like my arms had black marking starting to appear.

I felt my jaw change as well into a dragon's muzzle with very sharp teeth. My hair grew out as a pale white, like always.

My fingers soon turned into claws and last were my eyes, they've changed into an abyss of endless darkness.

I closed my eyes, waiting for myself to lose control, but nothing happened. I opened my eyes and looked at my reflection in the lake.

I looked at my reflection to see if there was something wrong with the change but was interrupted by the sound of a twig snapping in the bushes behind me.

I turned around and narrowed my eyes at the direction the sound came from.

“Come out, I can smell you from over here.” I said loud enough for them to hear. Twilight walked out with a fearful look.

“What are you doing here? It's a dangerous place for a pony.” I said turning my back to her.

“If you've forgotten, what me and my friends went through to get the elements of harmony.” I heard Twilight answer with a bit of anger in her tone.

“Why are you here?” I asked her, still not looking at her. I heard a pop behind me, I looked back and saw that Twilight teleported to the platform.

“I wanted to apologize about earlier, about the question.” I heard her answer. I sighed as I decided maybe telling someone about my problems would help.

“I'm the only one of my kind in this world, meaning I'm not from here.” I said to her.

“What?” She asked, not knowing what I said.

“That's the answer of your question.” I sighed as I sat on the floor.

“How did you get here and why?” She asked. I saw that she immediately covered her mouth after asking them, earning a small chuckle from me.

“I was taken from my home and brought here, lost, afraid, alone and frightened.” I said, motioning her to sit as well.

“I can tell you the beginning of my life here in Equestria if you'd like, but be warned it's a long story and you must not tell this to anypony.” I said to her. She looked at me with a smile.

“I got time and I promise.” She said.

“It all started two thousand years ago, the day I was dropped into this world.” I said to her, beginning my tale.

2,000 years ago
Location: Wasteland
Time: ???
One year before the games events

I've just woken up and looked at my surrounding, seeing sand for miles without end. I knew trusting a shady guy was stupid as hell and I should be ashamed.

I picked up my stuff from the sand. I gave them closer looks and noticed two things: One, I'm not wearing my glasses and see perfectly fine. Two: the Morph Gun and Jet-board looked more real than they were.

I dropped the Jet-board on to the sand and it activated, hovering a few inches of the ground. I grew wide eyed at the revelation that I have an actual fucking Jet-Board and Morph Gun.

I stood on the board, almost falling off twice but got used to it the third time and rode the board North, at least that's what I thought.

An hour of hovering through the desert to find help or shelter but to no avail. I was beginning to get thirsty as I hovered through the desert.

The heat was beginning to get unbearable. I then got light headed and saw two of everything as I fell of the board and on to the blazing hot sand.

I tried to get up but to to no avail as I was to weak to do it. I then heard the sounds of cars heading my way, so I looked up and saw two large familiar vehicles.


I didn't know if it was a good sign or a bad one. The cars stopped and an Alicorn Stallion hopped out of the large one while the other climbed out.

The second pony wasn't even a pony at all he was a, what was the name, Kirin. He was a kirin wearing wastelander armor.

“What do we have here?” I heard the one of them say.

“H..help.” I weakly said as darkness overtook me.

An hour later

When I came to, I noticed that I wasn't in the desert anymore. I sat up while placing a hand on my forehead and touched something large on my forehead. I pulled it and saw the goggles of my costume. I looked next to me and saw a large mirror and got up.

Once I stood in front of the mirror, I was shocked at what I saw. I had turned into Jak, I couldn't recognize myself and stepped back in fear.

“No.” I said as I walked back to the front of the mirror.

“No.” I said, turning my head a bit. I could see that my hair has grown and changed its color to an actual yellow-green color.

Then it hit me, I've been displaced. Next thing I knew, my fist was through the mirror and shards of glass were scattered around the floor.

“It seem you're awake, good. We have found near death of dehydration a few miles out of the city.” I heard someone say behind me. I looked back to see an Alicorn stallion holding a familiar staff.

I looked at him in shock. I knew who was, he was Damas, The Sand King of Spargus City.

“Yeah, thanks for that.” I said to him.

“Sorry if this sounds rude but, what are you?” He asked me as I looked back to my bloody fist.

“I'm human. I'm guessing you're the guy in charge?” I said to him, earning a nod from him.

“I'm Damas, King of Spargus and you have to earn your right to stay in the city.” He said, pointing out the window. I looked out and saw the City of Sand.

“What do I have to do?” I asked, knowing what is going to happen.

“You must prove yourself in combat, failure will result in either death or banishment.” He said, answering my question.

“There's a guard outside waiting to take you to the Arena when you're ready.” He said, walking past a bag with the Morph Gun poking out. He then walked out of the room, leaving me to myself.

“What the fuck did I just get myself into?” I asked myself as I grabbed the bag.

The Present
Time: 11:00 P.M

I finished telling her about half of my first day in this world and I noticed that I've changed back to normal.

“Why did you stop there?” Twilight asked me.

“Earn my trust and respect to hear more.” I said with a smirk. I then stood up and looked at the ripped shirt on the floor. I sighed as I realized I needed to go back to the castle for another set of clothes. I looked back to Twilight and saw her immediately look away.

“You should head back to town, your friends might be getting worried.” I said as I turned towards the direction of the castle and walked up to the water. I hopped off the platform and landed in the water, then swam to the shore.

Once out of the water, I looked back and saw Twilight looking at me, then I continued on towards the castle for a new shirt and shoes.

On the way, I couldn't help but recall a few good moments in my past, like everyone actually hanging out as friends and not soldiers of war.

I sighed, knowing those days are long gone. After a few minutes of walking, I finally made it to the castle, and went to get some good clothes.

I've managed to find my old Pilot jacket and put it on. I looked at myself in the mirror and disagreed with the sleeves and tore them off.

After putting on some clothes, I started heading back to Ponyville. On the way, I could see a few timberwolves eyeing me, so I gave them a glare. They scattered off to god knows where.

I heard a loud whoosh beside me and soon something hit me on the left side of my face, really fucking hard.

I put a hand on the bruise and looked on at the floor and saw the item in question, a talisman with five different colored gems in a star pattern, white on the top, below that on the left was green, to the right blue, below the blue was black and below green red.

I was about to throw it away but stopped as I heard someone speak.

"My name is Jace Beleren, Master of the 5 Color manas, Caller of the elements, The Summoner, if you wish for my help in a fight, or just a friend to talk to I will come and help." the disembodied voice said.

I looked the talisman for a couple of minutes and let out a sigh of frustration as I put the talisman in my pocket.

“Fuck my life.” I said as I walked down the dirt path back to Ponyville.
