"Actually... I think everybody's trying to kill me!”— Vin, Jak II

Fifteen minutes before game events

A whole year, a whole goddamn year in this world and I've made a name for myself back at Spargus. I’ve completed my Wastelander trials with flying colors, specifically the color red.

Krimson, Sig and I have been assign to find Damas’ daughters. After giving us the Amulet of Mar for something to use to help on the search, we had set out.

That was eleven months ago. We had no luck finding them throughout the city. I thought infiltrating the city was hard, finding two little girls in this giant Dystopia of a city.

From avoiding Guards to keeping up our act with Krew. Speaking of which, Krew had hired the three of us to get him trophies, trophies as in finding metal heads and killing them.

Today was no different from the others, an uneventful search and a package delivery to Torn.

Torn isn't the nicest of guys but I showed him to not fuck with me if his want his guns. Guards have been getting word of the Underground receiving a shipment of weapons, they'd be wrong on that account.

I've been delivering weapons daily, acting as if I was the package delivery guy of the city.

Krimson and Sig had been sent to get more trophies while I was out delivering. Speaking of which, I've noticed a few guards tailing me for more than thirty minutes.

I walked up the ramp to the walkway of the Industrial Section, to which they did the same. After a few twist and turns, I could see the Slums.

I sighed as I felt a little bit of relief hit me but that quickly changed when I noticed the sky. Clouds were moving faster than normal and I saw something open up.

Soon it opened up in a quick nanosecond and three dots shot out and headed straight towards me. I ran up to the edge of the walkway and jumped off.

Landing with a grunt as the three figures crashed on the walkway. I dropped the package that contained a few Scatter Guns and jumped back up.

Once on the walkway again, I saw two little fillies that looked to be at least eleven years old and a small orange ottsel.

The guards of course took notice of this and I could see that Errol did as well. The griffin led his men towards the two unconscious fillies and surrounded them.

“These must be the ones the old hag said, keep your eye open for the one.” Errol said as one of the guards bent over to pick them up but was attacked by the ottsel.

“Keep your metal hands off my friends!” The Ottsel shouted. Another guard came in and kicked him away. I ran up to the guard, took his Taser staff and tased him with it.

I then spun it around as it hit everyone around me. Errol was furious with this and took matter into his own hands but didn't have a chance as I tased him as well.

Counting the unconscious forms of the guards and noticed one missing.

I then felt something hit me in the back of my head, knocking me onto the floor. On the floor, I looked around and saw the last guard holding his gun backwards.

Looking behind him and seeing that the two fillies had regain consciousness and looking me. Errol stood up as well as the others.

The guard took hold of the fillies before they even had a chance to run. Errol saw this and said.

“Leave them be, the Baron wants him.” Errol said, gesturing to me.

The guards took hold of my arms and pulled me up to a standing position. My vision was blurring and fast but I could see that Errol had a smug look.

“We've been waiting for you.” He said before a guard jabbed me with the back of his staff, knocking me out.

The Present
Ponyville, Sugarcube corner
3:00 P.M.

After meditating for an hour and somehow letting Nyx do the same, I've checked if I was still connected with the four Eco Cores, all I need to do is close up the Eco Basins and activate all the eco vents around the world.

Anyway, After finishing up and heading back to town, I decided to treat Nyx for some sweets. Arriving at the bakery, seeing the one thing I've thought I'd never see.

Cyrux had managed to get a job, working as the waiter in Sugarcube corner. Of course, he didn't wear an apron or anything and by the looks of it, I don't think he needs it anyway.

Shaking my head and walking up to the counter, I rung the bell and Pinkie arrived only seconds later.

“Hi, Jackie. What can I get ya!” She said, enthusiasm evident in her tone.

I looked down next to me and signaled Nyx to order what she wants. Nyx ordered a plain vanilla milkshake, so did I. Like father, like daughter?

Receiving our shakes, I paid her the bits and left the bakery with Nyx. Walking through town, I could see that ponies had been gathering up at the center.

Nyx looked at me as if asking a mental question, only for me to shrug. We walked closer to the crowd and we could hear a mare shouting at said crowd.

“Mares and Gentlecolts, behold The Great and Powerful Trixie!” A mare shouted as fireworks went off behind her. Nyx didn't like this one bit and neither did I, so we turned around and started walking away.

Ignoring her shouts and insults, we turned the corner and headed towards Twilight's library.

Once there, we saw that no one was home but entered anyway, public library as a home isn't such a good idea.

Sitting down and grabbing the nearest book, Daring Doo and The Chalice of Gods.

Ponified Indiana Jones, I was expecting that. Actually reading it and finding it a good read was something I didn't picture ever happening.

Only three pages left before I finish, then the door opened and Twilight came in with Spike following behind. Twilight looked to be distressed while Spike had his mouth zipped shut.

“Hey, Twilight. Why do you look so nervous?” I asked, eliciting a yelp of surprise from her. I quickly looked at Nyx and saw her asleep still.

“Keep it down.” I said as I gestured at Nyx.

“It's just this new pony that's been showing off her magic, I'd like to put her in her place for embarrassing my friends but I'm afraid that if I use my magic that everypony will hate me.” She said, flopping on the floor and burying her face in her knees.

I stood up and walked up to her. Once I was next to her, I crouched down and placed a hand on her shoulder.

“Why would your friends hate you for using magic?” I asked her.

“Because they'll think I'm just like that Trixie mare.” She said as She looked at me.

“That's highly unlikely, besides your B.F.F’s basically and I have a feeling that you'll be stuck with them for a long time.” I said with a smile.

“But what am I gonna do about Trixie?” She asked as she straightened her legs.

“Beat her in the only way you know how, magic.” I said to her as I helped her up on to her hooves.

She smiled at and pulled me into a hug. Surprised by the sudden embrace, I returned the hug as well.

“Thanks.” She said before pulling away and heading out the door. Once the door closed behind her, I looked back at the Daring Do Book and realized one thing.

“I forgot to bookmark the page I was in.” I groaned as I sat back down. It was then I realized I was tired, feeling sleep over take me.

I stood in a large room and I meant large. It's big enough to fit Liberty Prime from Fallout. In the middle were three statues of the Oracle.

Similar to the ones back at the Monks Temple in the Wasteland. Their eyes closed and palms out, I knew something was up.

Walking up to them, causing then to open their eyes at me. The odd thing was that the eyes of the middle one was in a different color.

The middle one was emitting golden yellow glow, the left was a normal light blue shine and the right was emitting the same light blue glow.

“Are we even sure he's up to the task?” The one on the right asked.

“You know what he's capable of, he's can take the task and complete it. The right to wield-” The left one was interrupted as the middle one shouted.

“SILENCE!” The middle one shouted, silencing the two beside him.

“Warrior, I am the Supreme Leader of The Precursors. I have gotten word of your brave victory against the Dark makers and after a millenia of discussing with the Grand Council, I've deemed you worthy for the opportunity to wield all the Six Ecos.” The middle one said, its voice was much deeper than the others.

I stood there in silence, not able to talk for some reason.

“But be warned, unlocking your true potential will be difficult and nigh on impossible but I see the potential in you.” The middle one said, moving its arms, forming the seal of mar through particles.

“Your trials begin NOW!” He shouted, shoving the large seal at me and consuming me in a bright light.

Opening my eyes, feeling the effects of grogginess kick in. I immediately noticed that it was dark out.

Not even having a chance to think about anything, I felt a intense burning sensation on my chest. I quickly took off my shirt and looked down, seeing six tattoos similar to the halves of the symbol of mar.

Putting a hand on one of the tattoos, feeling heat radiating from my skin. I then put my shirt back on and looked at the area I last saw Nyx, seeing her still there and asleep.

I sighed in relief but soon took inhaled sharply again, hearing a loud roar followed by the sound of smashing.

Nyx heard this too. She opened her eyes and looked around then saw me. She ran up to me and had asked what was that.

“I don't know, but I'm going to check. Stay here.” I said as I ran out the door. Running out, I was greeted by a star spangled bear.

I saw Twilight running towards it with her horn glowing and picked the bear up, then started to rock it back and forth. The effects were instantaneous, making the bear fall asleep.

Not wanting to be here anymore for the night, I went back in and picked up Nyx. Then headed back home with one thing in mind.

‘I need to sleep, again.’

Author's Note

I'm sorry for the delay.

School, procrastination and regular day to day work got in the way.
