“Come on, Sam!”

“Hold on for a second, Alice.” I said as I helped mom out of the car. It was veteran's day and we were heading towards Dad's grave. Mom had been diagnosed with Dementia, she had been forgetting certain times in her life and can't focus or pay attention before being distracted by the smallest of things.

Before we found out it was Dementia, I had found her cooking dad's favourite dinner and set the table for five. I asked her who's the fifth person she expected and her answer confused me and Alice, saying that she was expecting Dad to come back home from work.

We had to explain to her that Dad had been dead for more than three years and she didn't take it well. After I had talked about it with James and Alice, we all came to an agreement to take her to the hospital.

That all happened a year ago and since then, I had dropped out of school to take care of her and the rest, meaning I had to cook, do laundry and even sometimes feed mom the food I cooked. I'm no chef but the semester of culinary class came in handy.

Today, she asked where we were going dressed in black and I told her for the fifteenth time that we're going to see dad. I could tell that she doesn't remember his death so she agreed in going along.

I had to walk alongside her so she wouldn't wander off again. As I rounded up a corner with mom, I saw Alice and James staring down at a familiar grave. I walked up to it and so did mom, I knelt in front of the stone, seeing that dad's name faded off only leaving his last name. I took out a permanent marker before popping the cap and wrote Ben on the faded stone marking.

I couldn't help but smile a little bit.

“Wish you were here, dad.” I heard my baby sister Alice say before sniffling. I looked over to James, he didn't show it but I could tell he wished the same. Me, I can't say the same, he hasn't done anything for me to miss him but he was my dad and I loved him anyway. I heard Alice start reciting Our Fathers prayer.

As Alice and James recited the prayer, mom leaned over to me.

“We'll all do something we’d regret.” She said before jumping into the prayer halfway. I didn't know if she was delusional and had said some nonse.

“Why did you do it?” I looked over to James, instead of seeing a sixteen year old James, I saw a twenty five year old Alcatraz with a hole through his head. I looked for Alice and mom but found that our surroundings changed and so did my attire.

“You should've known it was me in the suit.” I looked up again, seeing James now wore the suit. I felt tears well up as I realized what he was talking about.

“James, I-I didn't know, I'm sorry...p-please.” I said, struggling to contain a few sobs as blood started leaking out of the helmet. He took a step forward, causing me to move backwards.

This kept happening until my back hit a wall. James was just a foot away from me.

“So you're the new guy, eh?” I heard a different voice. I looked around and found nothing before setting my gaze at James.

“Welcome to the future, soldier.” I heard the same voice before everything went white.

Get up, Lieutenant! On your feet!

I opened my eyes and was greeted with total darkness, I tap the helmet a few times before the HUD activated. I don't know where i am and I'm sure I died back at Times Square, impaled by Spore Spire. Now I'm in this dark room.

My vision was blurred as the suit integrated video footage into my memory. The suit was on autopilot, not surprising really, my first encounter with this feature was when I was knocked out by a Ceph Devastator.

The suit fell through a roof of a large room and stood in the middle before taking down a human looking insectoid thing that tried sneaking up behind it. After that more tried to apprehend the suit but were either punched, kicked or ripped apart by the suit and when it almost did the same to what I could assume was the leader but stopped when she started sobbing out apologies. After she called off her army, the suit powered down but with what I saw, I guess I was hauled off somewhere.

After I regained my vision, the suit was half way in powering back up.

As soon as the HUD displayed it's normal information, I tried to stand up but found myself very exhausted to move and stayed on the floor with my back on the wall.

Analysing Sample Tissue

I ignored the suits message before almost falling asleep. My eyes instantly snapped open as the sound of a cell door opened.

It was too dark for me to see anything.

Nanovision Enabled

Everything soon changed and I could see the heat signatures of everything emitting around me. I saw four signatures coming towards me, I didn't try to do anything because the suit didn't recognize them as threats, at least not yet anyway.

“Are we even sure it's safe to be near it, princess?” I heard a male voice.

“Captain, we're able to handle ourselves if this stallion shows hostility.” I heard a regal voice. I looked over to them again and saw one of them near my visor.

“Twilight, I'm sure he doesn't appreciate you invading his personal space.” the regal voice said before the smaller signature was pulled back almost as if by magic.

“Should we wake him, sister?” I heard another regal voice mention.

“I'm already awake.” I said through the helmet, surprising everyone. I turned off Nanovision as I noticed the energy was almost depleted.

“Excuse the inconvenience but could we ask for a bit of your time, we wish to know about you.” I heard one of them say. I shrugged my shoulders before being blinded by a golden light.

“Damnit lady, warn me!” I said as I raised my hand to block out the light.

Threat Detected

The suit tracked a spear inches away from my face.

“Watch your mouth, you're talking to the princess.” I heard the same male voice, I looked at the iron spear before grabbing it. I gave it a squeeze, earning the sound of metal being bent before a loud snap was heard.

I tossed the half of the spear away before standing up and looking at the one threatened me, seeing human shaped horse...no, I'm sure he's a pony. Looking around, I saw that the others were also ponies, Anthropomorphic ponies. One of them, a purple horned woman looked at me with excitement as she held a note and pen. I then turned to the stallion, I think that's the term.

“When you threaten me, make sure you have a J.A.W.” I growled at him. He only stared as his broken spear with dilated eyes and a blank expression before dropping what was left of the spear and started walking out the room.

“Buck it, I don't want to deal with anything today.” He said before he turned left after exiting. I heard someone sigh.

“I told him to stay with Cadence but he insisted on guarding us while we conversed.” I saw that it was a tall alabaster mare with both a horn and wings. I'm too exhausted to even want to question the reasoning behind this.

“You wanted to talk, so talk.” I said to them. I saw another winged unicorn mare, smaller and darker than her companion. She glared at me before sighing as the other one nudged her. She then raised her hand as it shone in a dark aura and soon after, four chairs were dragged over to us. That..that was not normal. This isn't normal. Then again, not so long ago I was fighting in New York against squid like aliens threatening humanity.

“Sir, are you alright?” I heard the tall one ask and I nodded before taking a seat.

“It is impolite to hide your identity from us, especially us.” The midnight one said. I chuckled before leaning backwards while crossing my arms.

“Too fucking bad, I'm just one of those types of people.” I said to her, earning another glare. The lavender mare, stopped being so giddy and looked at me in an odd way before saying.

“Ponies. You mean ponies.” She said. I sighed before leaning forwards onto my chair, placing both my hand under my chin after clasping them together.

“Say that again, I couldn't quite catch that.” I growled out. She reeled back and his behind her notepad and I straightened back up.

“First, where are all my things?” I asked, wanting to know of the whereabouts of my gear.

“There right here, we don't know what they are and couldn't see if it was a weapon.” The Alabaster mare said. My gear floated towards me in a golden aura before being gently placed onto the ground beside me. A J.A.W, Hammer Handgun and a Spec Ops SCARAB along with a few grenades.

“Second, Where am I?” I asked. I'm taking this nice and slow, I'm already freaking out.

“You are in Canterlot.” The Midnight blue mare said. It sounded familiar but I couldn't place my finger on it.

“Country?”

“Equestria.”

“World?”

“Equis. How do you not know this?” The alabaster white mare said. Oh dear Lord above! I'm in a whole different world!? How!?

“That's because I don't belong here. I'm from a planet called Earth. I died for my country and I find myself here!? Of course I wouldn't know anything!” I yelled out in anger. This doesn't make any sense, I was impaled by the Spire.

They looked at me like if I was a madman.

“Tia, I think this Stallion hit his head a little too hard.” The Midnight blue mare said. Stallion? What.

“Can I have a mirror?” I asked, dreading the image that I would see through the mirror. The Alabaster white mare nodded and made one appear out of thin air before handing it to me.

I looked into it without taking my helmet off and saw a very noticeable difference.

My left eye began to twitch before moving my free hand towards the helmet and turned it to the right, earning a loud click before pulling it off. It's official, I fucking hate this place already.

Instead of a face of a twenty year old latino male, I saw light brown fur stallion staring back at me. He had brown eyes and a darker brown hair. His scars never left, showing even through the fur but that image was soon broken with the mirror broke. Pulling my fist back and scraping the glass shards off my hand, I stood up.

“Name.” I said to them. I was beyond angry right now and just wanted to get out of here. I grabbed my helmet and put it under my arm as I looked at the three mares in front of me.

“I'm Princess Celestia, Co-Ruler of Equestria and raiser of the Sun.” The Alabaster mare said.

I snorted at the last part before turning to the other.

“I'm Princess Luna, Co-Ruler of Equestria and raiser of the Moon.” The Midnight blue mare said.

I then turned to the last one, making her cower from my gaze.

“Name.” I repeated. I heard an audible gulp from her before she straightened back up.

“I'm Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia's personal student.” The lavender colored mare said before I put on the helmet.

The suit, knowing full well what to do, already scanned for a structural weakness in the room I'm in. I grabbed my things and strapped them onto the vest I wore over the suit.

“It would've been nice to meet you, but it isn't and it never will be. So now.” I started as I walked towards the wall the suit was pointing at.

Maximum Power

With that I kicked the wall, earning the sound if it cracking. I kicked it again, further cracking the wall while the three mares were utterly shocked at my strength while this time I punch the wall, making a whole and allowing the debris fall. I took a quick look down and the suit calculated the height, 829.8 m.

“They call me Sentinel.” I said before jumping off and praying to God almighty that I would survive. I waved my arms in a circular motion as I fell. Half way down, I heard the suit.

Maximum Armor

And with that I did the only thing I could do. Try to go for the superhero landing.

Once on the floor, I straighten back up before wincing in pain. I saw a forest in from of me and with in sight, I started walking towards it before finally breaking into a full sprint after feeling my leg was good as new.

Author's Note

You guys asked for more and here you go.

Yes I changed him into a pony, what else could the travel through a rift to another reality do to one guy. The suit can go on auto pilot and will from time to time.
