Prologue Norvail's Dangerous Journey part 1 Everything has changed.
Planet Earth, United States Country, July 10th, 2004...
It has been a few days since human kind has discovered an anomaly nearby the oceans of Florida. They thought that if there's any aliens came out of the portal to invade earth or if terrorists had built a new super weapon, but either way it was still a mystery to be yet unsolved when the anomaly vanished. Even the government around the world were discussing of what it could be, but some people has found photos and videos of what it was, a pony with a horn and two wings. There have been news reports in some towns and cities that some kind of alien or pony has been sighted in the sky that is heading in a city called Houston, Texas.
In a small house near a busy highway road, a 13 year-old-boy named Carver Vicks has taken a shower and brushing his teeth. He has grey, blue eyes, bit of an athletic kid so to say, and he is about 4'5 of his age height. Whenever school does start and to be running late, he most of the times go outside for fun to see how well to time limit about moving and dodging things. He does sometimes get in trouble from his cousin when he forgets homework or get into a few fights. All he wanted to do was to enjoy a better life, but everything will be forever changed when he hears a knock on the front door.
"Hum... there wasn't supposed to be anyone coming by 8 p.m. at night, wonder who that could be." Carver muttered quietly.
Thinking if those bullies were ready to go for another round, he got a pair of clothing on and ready a bat with some baseballs in hand. Sneaking up tip toe to tip toe, he opened the door up slowly. He paused in silence to see something shocking to him, there was an unconscious Alicorn pony right at his doorstep. The pony has a white/grey mane, a black/grey tail, two little horns together with one big curved horn pointing up like a mountain, wings are a bit damaged, and it's eyes are mixed of green and blue.
"THAT is the strangest pony I have ever seen before." He said while trying to slap himself seeing if it was a dream.
"Well this just turned really weird, wonder if it has a family to go to?"
He leans down an ear to the pony if it's still, luckily still breathing and it has been muttering something. Carver put down both baseballs and the bat back into the closet, just to make sure he doesn't want to have the unknown pony feel threatened.
"...W-Who are you?" The unknown alicorn said.
"Uh hi there strange pony, guessing that you must be a male. Well anyways, my name is Carver Vicks and you are..."
"N-Norvail, Norvail Winder. W-Where am I Mr. Carver?"
"Um you don't have to call me Mr. Carver, I'm only 13 years old and not 18 yet to be called Mr. Carver. Just Carver is fine and you are on planet Earth, 3rd planet of the milky way system."
"Oh that does make sense. So uh Carver, c-can I stay here at your house, if it's alright with you?"
"Why what happened, did something took a beating out of you?" Carver raised an eyebrow curious.
"A-Another pony like your kind tried to get rid of me while I was searching for some pony to take care of."
"Well frankly Norveil, we are called human if you are wondering about it." Carver corrected in pride to Norveil.
"Ah that would've explained why you humans are weird with different languages, so can I at least stay here?"
"Well..." Carver stated while he sees Norveil having his ears flattened down. "I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a new friend. I can't let you just rot here and die like this, ya know?"
"Y-You consider me a friend to you?" Norvail said having his ears perked up.
"Hey, more than half of us humans maybe considered dumbasses, jackasses, or even worse than that, but there are humans like me are really kind hearted to never EVER ignore or leave a person or any other creature to be left for dead. So since you maybe the only talking pony on this planet Earth, I can let you stay here with me until you are ready to go back where you came from to run free."
"Y-You would let me stay with you?" Norvail muttered while trying to get up, but had some help with Carver.
"Yeah, I like to have a roommate with me and you can share some stories about your world Norvail. I always like to see of what has been in the star or if there are other living beings on another planet than this one. Hell, I would like to take a vacation spot anyways!"
"...Thank you Carver." Norveil said as he began to pass out.
"Your welcome Norvail." Carver whispered to him as he carried him inside, making sure if there isn't any people around and then he closes the door. He sighs in relief to see no one around, things will be different when he need to take care of Norveil for now on.
10 years later, July 1st, 2014
"CARVEEEEEER, SOMEONE IS AT THE DOOR!" Carver's roommate shouted getting his attention.
"Sure thing Nikolai, just give me a sec to get my shoes on!" Carver said as he got everything packed up.
10 years had passed by since Carver has taken in Norveil Winder to stay in and to take care of each other. They had been very cool friends or more like brothers. Every time Carver has to go to school, Norvail feels lonely of what it's like outside rather than being cooped up in Carver's house. Luckily he did some research about transforming into a human. Using a bit of magic spells to use on himself for a few times, he was successful to becoming a human, but with a limit of 6 hours to be in that form until he returns to pony form.
When Carver came back to see Norveil's human form the first time, he was jaw dropped to see him like this. Norvail told him that he is an Alicorn that has the strength of an earth pony, best usage of a unicorn pony, and best flyer of a Pegasus. Carver was a bit confused of how that works out and Norvail sighs heavily to explain a long detail of Equestria. Few years had gone by and Carver does understand about Norvail's world and he shared about his human earth history about wars and peace, including magic doesn't exist on Earth. Norvail was shocked and surprised to see humans has many multiple battles from millions of years ago including the parts about the bloodiest battles to remember. Carver also told him that humans are omnivore that eat meat, fruits, and vegetables, but they don't eat live animals cause it could start as a cannibal holocaust war. Norvail did want to throw up after hearing those awful scenes, but he kept the stomach checked in and relief to see that many human do like to eat fruit and vegetable. Carver also told him to never fly or use magic in public cause the government will take him and some worse things on him, should he ever get caught.
3 years ago, Carver had finally earned enough money to move in an apartment in Cleveland, Ohio. He waved goodbye to his cousin for taking care of him and everything else. There were also good news to Norvail that he's been able to fly better and to control magic as well as to put in more hours of a human form. They had to find every place to practice for a short time since anyone could spot Norveil in his pony form, which could spell as a capturing plan to get their hands on him. Carver does not want to let that happen to his best friend and he needed some help along the way. Lucky for him, there had been a friend in his apartment which could help them both to stay in. Carver's roommate named Nikolai Elmer did saw Norveil's pony the first time to pass out, then later Carver explained to him that Norveil needs to have some time staying here on Earth until he can go back to his home again. Nikolai had to think about it for some, then he nodded his head some that he could help of them out either way.
Now back to this present, Nikolai is busy in the kitchen to bake some recipe meals for a competition to start soon on the 4th of July. He called up to Carver upstairs to tell him someone is knocking on the door. While he is gathering up his things to start a new college soon, Norvail is meditating on controlling his new crystal found power to wield including offense and defense if something comes up.
'Always something on your mind Norveil, but I can't judge you on magic.' Carver thought shaking his head.
Walking down stairs and opening up the front door, he sees a couple of guys with a pair of sunglasses on and has some strange outfits on like that Mr. X from the game Resident Evil 2. Carver felt some shivers inside his body, thinking this can't be good.
"Greetings good sir, my name is Agent Breaker and my good partner here is Agent Rumor. Are you Mr. Nikolai at this nice old apartment here?" Breaker said to Carver in a somewhat Jason Statham voice, but not quite close enough.
"Um m-my name is Carver sir, my friend Nikolai is busy with a recipe soon to make on the 4th of July."
"Ahhhh so your a friend of him and he's very busy huh? Well anyways, have you and Nikolai ever seen any anomaly around here lately, like some might say a flying horse?"
"No sir, why are looking for it exactly?" Carver said trying to keep his nerves in check to not get suspicious of these men.
"Just something about 10 years that you might have noticed." Breaker said then immediately grabbed Carver's shoulders and pinned him to a wall. "Now that this is more comfortable between me and you, do you know where this horse is if I'm not mistaken?"
"N-No sir um you see..."
"CUT THE BULLSHIT OKAY?! WE HAVE HIDDEN CAMERA'S EVERWHERE AND WE KNOW IF YOUR HIDING THIS HORSE IN YOUR APPARTMENT HERE! SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU ONE MORE TIME! WHERE. IS. IT?!" Breaker getting really angrier and gritting his teeth, ready to throw down some punches on Carver.
"Breaker that is enough, your causing a scene here." Rumor said putting a hand on Breaker's shoulder.
Looking at some people watching, Breaker calmed himself down and put down Carver gently, then walking away.
"Sorry about that, Breaker does lose control sometimes, so I have to keep an eye on him." Rumor said apologizing.
"Eh it's alright, no offense for a bunch of bad looking guys, dressed up for action heh heh."
"No taken, but just to be nicer, do you know of where this horse is last located in?" Rumor said raising an eyebrow.
"Hmmmmm last time I spotted it, last scene was I think heading to Wisconsin." Carver lied to cover for Norveil.
"I see... well we'll give you our card number if you see it anywhere in sight. Sorry for my partner's trouble to you." Rumor said giving his card number to him then walking away to his truck vehicle.
"Pleasure doing some business with you guys." Carver said waving at them. While the vehicle was gone, he gave them the finger.
'These are no ordinary men. Judging by these outfits, they must not be from United States, but from a different dangerous country. If those guys get their hands on Norvail, it'll be an upcoming war of World War 3.' He thought while closing the front door.
"Carver, is everything okay? You look like some guy got punched in the head." Nikolai said while washing up his hands.
Carver turned his head to see both Norvail and Nikolai by the kitchen.
"Guys, we may have a problem here. We're going to need a way out of this apartment." Carver said then quickly went into the bathroom to cool himself off and thinking of a plan to get Norveil out of here.
"What is it Carver, did those guys asked you something?" Nikolai said trying to calm his friend down.
"Those guys in an agent suit, they are not from the US government. I think they must be from another country and it seems that they are after my friend Norvail." Carver said while wiping his face clean.
"Well it looks like my days of enjoying Earth is over, guessing my sister won't be seeing me again in a longer time." Norveil muttered hanging his head low.
"Don't you worry Norveil." Norveil said putting a hand on Norvail's shoulder. "I think that there is someone to help us out."
"How can we get past them Nikolai?! They know of what we will do next with their hidden camera's!" Carver shouted to him.
"If they want to have battle, then we'll give them a war cause they're screwing with the wrong crowd here..."
"Same here too, I'm not going down without a fight!" Norvail shouted in victory with human hands in a fist to strike up.
Meanwhile on planet Equis, Equestria nightfall in Canterlot...
At the balcony in Canterlot Castle, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza was looking up at the shining stars at night. There were things inside her head, knowing of where her little brother Norvail Winder is and if he's alright. She still remember of how he has been improving of magic usage and learning to fly. He has been very unusual to her, like one time he had gotten into a fight with a few bullies. She didn't understand of how he was able to hold his ground after taking in a lot of damages on his body, yet he's been passing out sometimes from any injuries that are still on him. Then another time was when he went out of control, like something was wrong while he's sleeping in the pony hospital...
"Norvail, I know it wasn't your fault, but why are you hurting yourself this badly?" Cadence murmured to herself.
She looked at the photo family picture in her hooves. In the photo were Princess Celestia, herself, Shining Armor, Twilight Sparkle, their parents, and her brother holding in his laughter when pulling a prank on Prince Blueblood painting his hair polka dot blue circles.
"It never gets old that my brother sometimes pulls up big pranks on my cousin Blueblood." She said giggling of those memories.
"Cadence, are you feeling alright?"
Her thought snapped out of it when she turned her head to see Shining Armor and Princess Celesita both with a worried look.
"Hey Shiny, Auntie Celestia... n-no I'm not feeling good." Cadence said when she looked away as her tears poured out.
"Are you still thinking about your little brother?" Shining asked while he walked up to comfort her.
She nodded her head slowly as he wiped her tears away to look at her eyes and it is painful to see her like this.
"Look Cadence, I know that it's none of my business of why your brother had left, but you can't keep yourself sobering up like this. I'm really sure that me, my little sister, and your auntie misses him as well." He said trying to cheer her up.
"I know Shiny, but it still hurts me not knowing if he's in danger or worse..."
Cadence then felt something touch her back, she looked up to see her auntie beside her as well.
"It's alright my little niece, your brother must need some time for himself. It would seem that he's having some troubles whenever things are going better or worse and he needs some pony to help him get rid of every painful memories." Celestia said.
"Hmmmm... you do have a point auntie. By the way Shiny, how are your side wounds?" Cadence said to Shining.
"Oh these old scars?" Shining took off his armor to see some scratches and a big cut. "Yeah they'll be gone in less than a year. It was just an accident from your brother. Guessing that he didn't know it was me, but he must be trying to hurt some pony else."
"Indeed Shining Armor, but it has been 10 years since he left. Cadence my dear, you don't have to tell us of what he has been through in his own life, but could you at least tell us of why he left exactly?" Celestia said trying to not force her into every detail.
Cadence looked at both Shiny and her auntie to think if it's okay, then she sighs and to tell her story.
"Okay, it happened when you two were on business planning, while I was foal-sitting Twilight..."
To be continued...
