MLP: Friendship Evolved
Chapter 2: Far From Home
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Ow... what in the hell happened?" You said, lying on the cold hard floor of the base on the back of Larry. You got up and walked outside to check the surroundings; Sparky was running in circles trying to catch his short tail. At least Sparky's happy. Your left arm was aching. Task at hand. Okay... we are in the middle of a... forest. You walked over to the side of the saddle and peeked over the edge. Um... the other mounts are standing next to Larry, and that's about it. You walked up the second floor of the base to check to see if your stuff was there. After a minute of checking, you concluded that everything was there. Smithy, yes. Fabricator, yes. Industrial Cooker and Grill, check. Industrial Forge, upstairs, and yes. Chemistry Table, yup. Huh, I guess everything is still here. So far, everything was going great. "Now I just need to figure out where the hell I am. Wait a second..." You remember the words the voice said, TO EQUESTRIA YOU GO. You were in some place called "Equestria". "So, I am in a place called Equestria. Have I heard of this place before?"
A memory of a time on Earth flashed in your head. You definitely heard of Equestria. The memory consisted of your 4 year old sister watching a show. You don't remember what it was called, or what it was about, but you remember someone on the show referring to Equestria multiple times. If you were right, you were in a world that was suppose to be on a cartoon show. This can't be possible. How could I be teleported into a cartoon show? I must be dreaming. To test if you were dreaming, you decided to call Sparky over. When someone calls Sparky, he goes ape-shit and starts charging at the person who called him, then he will tackle him to the ground. You see Sparky running as fast as he could towards you. He slammed into you, knocking you to the ground. His small tusks jabbed into your skin, not puncturing the skin, but causing minor bruising and a tiny bit of pain. "Definitely... not a dream." Sparky was laying on your stomach. He crawled up to your face and started licking you. "Hey, stop, that tickles!". You put Sparky on the floor and tell him to stay put. "I'm loosing focus again. I need to find civilization." You tell yourself. You walk over to the ladder, climb down, and saddle up the Quetzal. You begin to fly with the Quetzal. You were planning to put Dagger and Laura on Larry, then have El Diablo follow behind Larry. You fly towards Dagger and, as if on cue, she picks Dagger up. You fly up to Larry, and drop Dagger on him, then land Laura on the platform as well.
Good. now just need to find that civilization. You walk over to the seat at the front of the platform saddle, and take a seat. "C'mon Larry, let's go." Larry gives off a bellow, and the Titanosaurus begins to walk forward, with El Diablo following behind.
1 hour, 45 minutes later...
"Where is the civilization?" It had been an hour and forty-five minutes, and there still was no civilization. Only trees. The trip was so boring, that Sparky fell asleep. You, as well, almost fell asleep, but you pumped some leftover Stimberries into you to keep you awake for a bit. But as night falls, you decide to rest the dinosaurs. You walk to the room section of the mobile base, you climb in bed, and begin to fall asleep. "Feels like I haven't slept in years." You then fall asleep.
The next day...
You were greeted by Sparky licking your face again. "Good morning, buddy. We have a big day I am positive we are going to find civilization." You get up, get dressed, and get Larry and El Diablo ready to walk. The walking begins, and instantly... it begins to rain. "WHAT THE FUCK?! WHY NOW?!" You had to keep going, even if it meant getting wet and being pissed.
9 minutes later...
The rain finally stopped. The land became light again, revealing the end of the forest and a town. "Oh thank Jesus we found civilization." You get off Larry and take Sparky with you. "I would bring you guys, but I don't want to scare the locals. I'll be back in a bit."
You begin walking, with Sparky in a sort of baby carrier on your back. You could hear him panting in your ear. Just in case, you brought your assault rifle, some bandages, and two bottles of Medical Brew, since you didn't know what to expect on foot in the forest. While walking, you admire the flora and fauna. "Huh, it looks just like Earth. The same animals, the same plants, I wonder if this is just a different country on Earth instead of a different planet." Just moments later, you hear bushes rustling along with a symphony of growls. Too big to be a Dilophosaurus, to small to be any other pack hunting dinosaur. They sound wolf-like, so... Dire Wolves? Ok... time to put Sparky in this tree. You take the carrier that was holding Sparky and put it up on a branch about two feet from your head. You were beginning to freak out when you saw the green eyes peek out from the bushes, then a creature in the shape of a wolf came out in the open. It looked like it was made of wood. Then, four more came out in the open, standing next to the first creature. Definitely... not... a Dire Wolf... The creatures began walking towards you, you were stepping back as they stepped forward. You slowly aim your gun up towards the group. As if knowing it was a threat, they charged. Dammit.
Your instincts began kicking in; Kill all of them. You pulled the trigger causing the assault rifle to fire. Whizzing through the air, the bullets hit every time, but were only doing minimal amount of damage. Green blood was oozing from the area of contact, but not doing anything to the creatures. You managed to take down one of them, but there were still four left. You didn't bring enough ammo. You were going to die. One creature pounced onto you, biting your arm in the process. You scream in pain as the creature bites harder and harder. You manage to grab your pike and jab it through its torso. Another one down. You push the wooden creature off of you and pull the pike out its body as fast as you can. It's covered in green blood. The remaining three begin to circle you, closing in every step. Well, I'm... Suddenly, you hear a familiar roar and look to your left, only to see the great and mighty El Diablo, standing as tall as the trees, looking down at the wolves.
The wooden wolves stared at the Giganotosaurus. They began barking at El Diablo, but he didn't give a shit. They charged towards El Diablo, but he just stood his ground. Bad decision for the creatures. When they reached him, El Diablo lunged at the closest one and picked it up with his mouth. El Diablo began to crush the creature with his tremendous bite force, until completely crushing it in half. Green blood was outlining El Diablo's jaws. He threw the lifeless body on the ground, then proceeded to step on it, crushing it even more. The two creatures looked in horror as the Giganotosaurus brutally murdered the wooden wolf. They began backing away, but El Diablo wasn't finished. He took the next one and picked it up head first in his jaws and pinned the other with his foot. He oh-so gently positioned the pinned wolf to see. It couldn't move. It was forced to watch one of its pack-member get its head completely crushed by El Diablo's jaws. After that, El Diablo threw the decapitated creature to the side, the looked down at the final wolf. He bit it, then, with a little force, ripped it in half. Spitting the first half on the ground, El Diablo stepped off the last half of the wolf, and gave off a blood-curling roar.
"Holy shit." Ignoring to bleeding bite on your left arm, you look at the carnage El Diablo made. "You sir, are fucking amazing!" You say to El Diablo. He looks down at you and grunts. "You have to stay here, I really don't want to scare the locals, so just hang tight and we will be right back." You wrap a bandage around the wound and drink some Medical Brew. The bite isn't that deep, but it hurts like hell, You grab Sparky, put him on your back, and continue through the forest.
5 minutes later...
"Finally, we made it." You had just escaped the forest. After almost dying from those creatures, you will never look at this place the same again. How could a show have such violent creatures?! You thought as you were walking through a field. Then you saw it... a town with a weird purple tree in the middle of it. It seemed to be made of crystal, and it seemed to have a castle feel. In fact, it was a castle. Mountains were on either side of the town, and the houses felt... medieval. The roofs were made of thatch, and the walls were made of wood. It was strange. Was this show that your younger sibling watched about the middle ages? Was that a thing back in 2012? That didn't matter, it was 2016, and I'm not a little kid. You slowly walked over to the town. Only half way there. You holstered your gun and pike and kept walking. So close...
You slowly walked into the town. Sparky was looking over your shoulder. He was very antsy. He had never been in a full fledged town before. Strange... where is everyone? Do I really smell that bad? Instantly, you sniffed your armpit. The smell made you cringe. Ugh, I need a damn shower. You stopped to listen for anyone. You something to your far left, so you turned on the street to your left. You kept walking, until you say where the noise was coming from. A crowd of strange creatures were having conversation. You couldn't hear if they were speaking English, but you still looked over surprised to see they were talking. They looked like...horses. What... the... fuck... You noticed that each one of those creatures had strange tattoos of objects and other things on the side of each of their legs. The show your sister watched was about horses with tattoos on their asses... I always knew my sister was a strange one...
You whisper to yourself, "Well, I'm out." You begin to back up, but you run into something. Turning around, you noticed that one of them was standing there, looking at you like you just killed someone.
"What the..." The horse said... in English. It was definitely a she. She spoke with a semi-scratchy voice, like she screamed too much. Her fur was a cyan color, and her mane was rainbow. She had magenta eyes, and that tattoo on her leg consisted of a rainbow lightning-bolt coming out of a cloud. She had two folded up wings on the sides of her torso. You didn't know how it was possible for a horse to fly, but apparently it was possible.
"Uh... you just TALKED!" You were freaking out.
"AH, YOU TALK!" She said. She began hovering in the air.
"OH SHIT, SPARKY, STAY BACK, SHE COULD HAVE RABIES!" Sparky was walking towards the horse.
"What the buck does that mean?! I'm no raccoon." She said.
"NO SHIT, YOU'RE A HORSE!" You said practically screaming.
"I'm not a damn horse, I'm a pony, in fact, I'm a Pegasus." She said spreading her wings out.
"SAME DIFFERENCE!" You kept screaming.
"Why are you screaming?" She asked.
"I DON'T KNOW!" You responded.
"Shut up then!"
"Okay, you don't have to scream!"
"Good, thanks." She said.
"Don't mention it... I guess."
"So... what exactly are you?" She asked.
"I'm a human, Nash Anderson to be exact." You said.
"Hello, Nash." She sticks her hoof out for a handshake. "I'm Rainbow Dash."
"Nice to meet you, Rainbow Dash..." You wearily shake her hoof. You have never had a conversation with a Pegasus before.
"Why are you not freaking out about me? I thought your reaction would involve hitting me with something..."
"I'm not scared of anything." She responds.
"Bullshit." You whispered to yourself, hoping she didn't hear you. Thank god she didn't.
"Anyways...what now?"
"Well, I have to show you to my friends." She responds.
"Oh, so I'm a pet now?" You sarcastically say.
"No, we need to confirm that you are safe to keep in Ponyville." She responds.
"Ugh, fair enough. Okay, we'll go, but I have to get my other creatures first."
"They can wait, we need to go now." She commands.
"I live on one, it is kind of important." You respond.
"Fine, but be quick. I hate waiting." Rainbow Dash says as you walk away from her to the forest.
11 minutes later...
"Oh my Celestia..." Rainbow Dash said looking at Larry walking towards them through the forest. A huge crowd formed looking at the Titanosaurus. Suddenly, you came bursting out of the forest riding El Diablo, Larry following you. About half way to Ponyville, you whistled Larry to stop. You rode El Diablo into town, stopping him in front of the crowd. They crowed stepped back as they saw the teeth and the dried up green blood around his mouth. Rainbow Dash flew up to inspect the Giganotosaurus.
"So, these are your creatures? What are they?" Rainbow asks, as she was flying around El Diablo.
"Dinosaurs, with the exception of Sparky and Laura." You pick up Sparky and hold him in front your face. Sparky tried to lick Rainbow Dash's face, but she instantly backed up.
"Anyways, I told you my creatures were important. Say hello to El Diablo, he saved me from some weird wooden wolves in that forest." You pat El Diablo's saddle. You noticed that Sparky climbed on top of El Diablo's head.
"You were attacked by Timberwolves?" Rainbow asked. "And you survived?"
Hehehe. So punny.
"Fuck yeah, was almost murdered until he barged through the trees and started tearing the living hell out of them."
"..." She was speechless.
"Anyways that huge guy is Larry, he's my mobile home." You point to Larry. "On top of him is Laura and Dagger."
"How in the hell did you get these?"
"Simple. I tranquilized them, fed them back to health, then they loved me." You said. "Actually, now that I think of it, I had to shoot a cannon at Larry's head just to knock him out."
"That's not simple." She responded.
"It is if you've been doing it for over four years."
"Damn, four years? You must be very experienced." You were beginning to wonder how the show got passed moderation with Rainbow Dash swearing all the time.
"Yup, almost died hundreds of times too." You respond.
"Anyways, my friends are down there." She points to five other ponies; a yellow, one white, one orange, one pink, and one purple.
"Okay." You respond. You tell El Diablo to stay, you pick up Sparky, then slide down the side of El Diablo, to soften the blow, since he was like thirty feet tall.
You walk over to the five ponies, Rainbow Dash lands next to them.
"Hello, you must be Dash's friends, correct?" You say to the five ponies. All the ponies in the area, except Rainbow, are speechless that you are speaking English. The white one fainted.
