Chapter 1 - Eyes to Ponies
The warm hug of the sun was all I felt as I was stirred from unconsciousness. But, that good feeling was soon overlapped by the pain wrapped all over the left side of my body. It felt as if I had been stabbed over and over mainly my left arm and hand yet still minor pain all over the rest of that side and some on my right side. I slowly opened my eye but than realized it felt almost impossible to open my left eye. After I gathered my senses for the most part the first thing I noticed were my left lens was cracked and nearly useless, but my right lens were completely fine. I still had the problems of using only my right eye, namely more blurry vision and lose of depth perception. After taking a breather and standing up I noticed I was in the middle of a opening in a forest and I was near the middle of it, in fact I was in the middle of a small crater which I have no idea how I caused something even a quarter of that size. I then proceed to use my right arm for the single reason my left arm felt the need to not respond to my desires to check my phone to make sure it wasn't cracked, lucky enough it wasn't cracked at all. I checked the battery life to see it at 86%, with no Wi-Fi. I turned off the Wi-Fi so it wouldn't waste power searching for a signal. I than saw there was nothing and I mean nothing around me, no towns or cities, no radio towers, nothing. Although my best chance was the smoke that seemed to be coming from my left inside the forest. I than proceeded to keep quiet walking through the forest making sure I was staying north following my phones compass as I made it through the forest taking more time than I could have by avoiding predators and staying on course. I made it through the forest soon getting a eerie feeling yet ignoring it because the eerie feeling was most likely predators stalking me. I started sweating as I made it closer and than I somehow felt something stalking me without hearing or seeing it. Knowing this I reached picked up a decently big stick and swung it around me and hit something square in its... mouth or muzzle maybe? When I turned around I saw a... wood... wolf? Now my thoughts ran wild telling we why was a giant wooden wolf alive, and how was it alive. At this points my body was sweating bullets I quickly ran north which came without incident lucky enough for me I came across a wood hut with smoke coming out its roof with creepy voodoo like masks hanging from the branches around.
"Ok that's a bit creepy but who am I to judge a persons beliefs based on what they own, who knows maybe their nice people?" I said reassuring myself that there wasn't anything wrong with anyone living there. With that I knocked on the door of the tree hut thing.
"The door is open so please come in" A voice that didn't sound anything like I've heard before. But, nonetheless I obliged and welcomed my self in. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was a zebra with a Mohawk.
I than proceeded to scream, "WHAT THE FUCK!" with that the 'Zebra' whipped its head around and than its jaw literally hit the floor, causing my jaw to also drop at the same time. "I don't know what the hell I've been smokin but something is definitely up here"
The zebra than cringed at me and said "I could ask the same to you but that would be very rude."
I than dropped my jaw two fold and started murmuring different things I could've used to get here "Not cocaine, not heroine, not having a acid trip, not drunk, welp aren't I just a lucky fucker"
The zebra once again said something assuring I wasn't asleep "I don't know why you are here so please tell me so I may hear"
I replied "First cut that shit out, second I have no clue how I got where ever here is"
The zebra replied "I will quit rhyming if you can quit cussing"
I sighed "Deal." I held my hand out and shook its hoof. "Also could you help me with this-"
"Zecora" Zecora said
"- Zecora" I said flagging down my entire left side. He? than put a smile on... his face? I couldn't really tell in all honesty. But, I chose not to be rude to him.
"I would be glad to help you-"
"Brendan, but call me Dan, please"
"Dan, could you please come over here and drink this" She said as she fished a bottle with a red liquid inside of it out of a chest. "Drink this and it should heal you"
"I don't know how that works but I'll try it" I said as I grabbed it and chugged it, note that it tasted horrible.
"Wow I've never seen someone chug a healing potion top to bottom" He said as he giggled? The hell guys don't giggle... Oh my god I though she was a guy...
"It was still pretty nasty Mrs. Zecora" I decided to confirm my suspicions
"Please don't call me Mrs. Its just not right" I'm glad I did that which I nodded my head in confirmation to her.
"Well my eye feels a lot better now" I said as I opened my eye and it burned really bad but I forced it open anyway.
"Oh my Celestia! Your eye! Its bleeding and looks different!" she told me, wait what? My eye different and bleeding? She than gave me a mirror and I looked into it and I didn't expect to see a normal eye except it was lightly bleeding and it had a ring halfway between the skin and the pupil, and it hurt like a lot though, something about this eye felt different but, I can't seem to figure out what feels so different. I just feel like I'm somehow seeing more.
"Zecora, do you have any idea what this could possibly be? Anything that could help me figure out what it is?" I said, I mean it can't be bad I just want to know what it was.
"My guess is as good as yours but, from the way the ring is shaped it's probably a manifestation of magic in t-" "Let me cut you off right there Zecora but really? Magic? The stuff of myth and fairytale?" "- no not fantasy magic, real magic." she said.
"Yea... no that's not rea-" as if knowing what I was going to say she said "Explain the potion." "-Well the potion is probably a... early... herb medication." I said unsure "Wrong its magic, and it probably over accelerated the repairing process of the eye and overstimulated it."
"..." I said nothing. Well there goes my brain.
"But, I may be wrong you should ask Twilight Sparkle just to be sure, I think I'm right but who knows." she said with a half silent chuckle.
"Where would she be exactly?" I asked making sure to start making a map of the land.
"About a tenth of a mile away from here is a path to a town called Ponyville head east after that for about three fourths of a mile, her house is a giant living tree can't miss it, got it?" She said slower to make sure I got everything.
"Got it, thanks Zecora your a life saver." I said in a happy tone. I swear I'd be lost without her.
Figuring it would be a good 2 hours before I got to this place I turned on a some music on my random list, now let me tell you I am a huge fan of rock and a fan of good electronic or techno music with a tiny bit of pop here and there. For now I'll listen to some classic rock.
Youtube Video
I silently started humming the tune to the song over the next hour until this, 'Sixth Sense' I'll call it kicked in. I spun around and was greeted with a tranquilizer dart to the arm. "Fuck." I muttered to myself. I unbuckled my belt buckle and tightened it around my arm to hopefully stop some of the flow or at least minimize it. I threw a rock in the direction the dart came from and was greeted with another shot, but this one to the hip. The last words out of my mouth were "sunva... bit... ch..."
?<<
What is that thing... looks like some hairless monkey, maybe a new species? I think I'm gonna have to take it down and bring it back to study. I than shot a tranq dart at the beast. It seemed to understand what I did and wrapped something around its arm to stop blood flow, maybe it has some intelligence. It somehow saw me before I left any indication, odd... I must be getting sloppy. It threw a rock straight at me, which may I add ALMOST HIT ME. No pony has every came that close to hitting me, ok now I've got to clean this up fast. I shot another tranq and this one took it out almost instantly. "Heh your a tough one arentcha" I said smugly. Well time to get this thing back for examination.
Brendan<<
I woke up with a feel of less pain but yet I felt like I was tied down. I opened my eyes to see I was and I was connected to a bunch of machines. "What the hell..." I muttered silently to myself.
"Subject is awake" I heard a voice say. I snapped and screamed at it to let me out "Subject is also violent" Violent, VIOLENT? I'll be fucking violent all right. "Interesting subject also seems to increase in power when angry mainly in the left eye, odd..." I realized the straps were to tight to escape. I than saw a pony in a hazmat suit covering it and its face completely. It than injected a needle into my left eye, A FUCKING NEEDLE! "AGH FUCK YOU I WILL GUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IF YOU DONT FIX MY EYE RIGHT NOW YOU FUCKING BASTARD ASS BITCH!" The pain was so unbearable I kept screaming and than it happened. The straps on my body broke and I ripped the needle right out of my eye which was now bleeding furiously. I opened both eyes and looked at him.
"Wh.... what are you!?" He said in a panicked tone.
"Your best nightmare buddy." I said violently staring at him. His ears flopped down and I hit him so hard in the head his eye popped out of his skull.
"Oh you see that buddy I hit you so fucking hard I popped your eye out your skull, and oh what a beauty it is" I said as I ripped out the eye. He faintly gurgled trying to scream and failing miserably. "Something wrong? Cat got your tongue?" I said as I ripped out his tongue and threw it on the ground. "Now have you learned not to FUCKING INJECT NEEDLES INTO PEOPLES FUCKING EYES!" I screamed and he shook his head furiously. "Good but, something like this can't be redeemed so, I'll give you the ultimate mercy instead. I stomped his skull in and walked out the room leaving a dead carcass on the ground. I looked for my clothes and items. Finding what I was looking for I went into his shower room washed the blood off using some basic soap to stop the blood stench coming from my body. I put my clothes on, got my phone and notebooks than left.
The fresh flow of the air coming over me felt amazing, like a hot shower after a cold winter night. Although the feeling of my eye being stabbed and unusable was painfully obvious. I came out of a bunker in the middle of a town, which I think was Ponyville so I went back into the bunker after realizing it was approaching night so I decided to sleep I covered my eye with a ripped off piece of clothing, ate some bland ass cereal and went to sleep.
Chapter 2 - A Chain of Bad Events
The next morning I woke up with a fuzz in my head and pain in my eye which is to be expected from having your eye split open from a needle. As I took the bandage off I noticed it was completely cut open yet, the eye itself was completely cut open and the eye was pretty much useless. I wrapped the eye back up with a piece of fabric I cut off from the bed for the reason of it being more comfortable and much bigger, after all I won't be staying here much longer. I got up and went into where the kitchen was, as I looked through the drawers I notice all this guy had was that same bland fucking cereal! "You've got to be fucking kidding me, he only has that bland ass fucking cereal!" I shouted to no one imparticular but, I ate it anyway after all I need to eat something right? I finished the cereal left the bowl on the table and went out of this bunker yet, the glaring sun did nothing to my eyes and I was able to see, even look directly at the sun somehow! I rubbed my eyes and sure enough I could still look at the sun just fine. I said nothing as to not be spotted by something, I ran as fast as I could avoiding ponies and retreating into the forest. However, the gods had other plans for me as I tripped on a rock, not just a small rock like a decently big rock. I literally did a flip as I tripped and landed hard on my back. "Wait, it doesn't even hurt tha..." the pain started to swell up "Oh my fucking GOD THIS FUCKING HURTS GODDAMN IT, MY BACK FEELS LIKE SOMEONE STABBED ME JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!" I noticed a purple pony with dark blue hair approaching me. "STAY BACK I'M WARNING YOU!" I said with venom dripping from my voice. She seemed to slow down but not stop walking towards me. "I'M TELLING YOU DON'T GET ANY CLOSER!" I shouted even louder
"Please, just let me help you." She said but that's when the memories started flooding back in everything when silent as the memories replayed in my head.
10 Years ago, Brendan
"Brendan, please just let me help you" My best friend rick said as he pulled me up from a horrible bike wreck. "Can you walk?"
"I'll be fine ow thanks for ouch, asking" I said with certainty in my voice. "Lets get back to my place" I said as the flashback faded back away
Now, Brendan
"O... Ok" I said as I eased up from the tension swelling in my head and around me. Tears slowly flowing down my eye.
"Are you okay?" She said with true concern and worry in her voice.
"Yeah I'm fine, I'm Brendan" I said with a small smile sitting on my face waiting for a reply.
"I'm Twilight Sparkle but, for now we need to focus on getting you to the hospital." My mind clicked, so this was the Twilight that Zecora was talking about. I'll ask about my eye later for now I need to make sure my back isn't destroyed from that rough landing.
"Okay we can do that but, how are we going to get there?" I said and Twilight instantly responded with "Magic, silly" I replied too late "Wait wh..." In an instant we were in a hospital than I threw up from the movement I just felt, well this is going to be awkward... I thought to myself. I spit out the 'leftovers' in my mouth and wiped it off my mouth. I decided to break the silence of about 20 different ponies staring with a mix of fear and excitement but, more fear than excitement. "Hi I'm Br-" at that moment about 20 something ponies ran. "en.. dan." Really? I wasn't being violent or angry at all and they do this shit? I muttered 2 words "Goddamn xenophobes..." I looked around and saw extremely bad attempts to hide from me, no seriously one of them covered his eyes and got as low to the ground. "You xenophobic ass wads can't even let me say one sentence! Even worse than that you suck dick at hiding too!"
"Brendan I'm sure they didn't mean it, I mean your pretty scary looking with that eyepatch and how much taller you are than them" Twilight said trying to calm me down but honestly they wanna be assholes I'll show them an asshole! At that moment I flipped a table in the lobby, shouted out "Fucking xenophobic fucks asshole to the fucking new guy who wanted to introduce himself but noooo some little pussy ass bitches decide to fucking hide and can't even do that right!" The ponies who weren't hiding before were now, excluding Twilight. With that the energy in my eye started to build up again, little pricks are going to get what they deserve in a sec...
"BRENDAN, your scaring them worse than before no, more like traumatizing them!" She said trying to get me to stop or calm me down, probably both. "Whatever but, next time they do that shit I'm not putting up with it." I said now in a aggravated tone. With that I slammed the door off its hinges and walked out.
Twilight quickly trotted up beside a tad bit scared but, for good reason. "You didn't have to do that." she said in a tone that would mirror a mother's. "I know I didn't have to, but I did anyways." I said not making a excuse for it. "You shouldn't have, and you know it" She said trying to scold me. "Oh well nothing I can do n-" I said not really caring. "Apologize now!" She scolded me. "Know what?" I questioned her knowing what I was about to do. "What?" She said hoping I say I'll apologize. I cracked my knuckles and used the energy stored in my eye and directed it my arm. That's pretty cool I thought to myself, and useful. I turned around and cracked her square in the chest and heard the sound of ribs cracking. "FUCK YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE RACE!" With that I went into a sprint and felt the pressure of energy welling up in my throat and lungs, with that my speed almost doubled and I wasn't losing my breath. Guilt then leapt into my head, Go back and help her!
Not happening, she got what she deserved. And what did she do to you to deserve a full power with energy fully enhanced into it!... In fact! I bet she was the only person aside from Zecora on this planet who liked you at all! Guilt is right... she was, at that moment tears fell from my eye I bet she would have even helped you get back to Earth No... no... she wouldn't, no! Slow drops of rain fell as the pressure in my eye only increased as a mixture of blood and tears fell from my eye as the rain drenched me. "What have I done, everyone hates me!" With good reason too. "Heh, why would they like me anyways? All I am is a weakling who acts tough, in fact the only reason I'm tough at all is this damn eye! Why me? What do I have that no one else has except this stupid FUCKING EYE!" I shouted angrily as I recalled the day I got teleported to my eternal torture.
Brendan, 30 hours ago
I was at home getting ready to leave with Rick "Brendan, where are we going today?" Rick asked with excitement
"Were going to get something to eat at dairy queen than going to the trampoline park" I said putting my pair of old boots on.
"Rick you ready to go!" I shouted across the house towards rick.
"Yeah, just let me get my phone!" Rick shouted back.
"Alright I'll be in the car!" I shouted back as I walked towards our new truck we had gotten last week, our new 2017 Silverado 1500, we had been saving up for a new truck all year and we got the best one we could afford with our leftover money from our bills.
Rick got in the car about 2 minutes later we left the drive way and got dairy queen and we ate in the parking lot, after we ate we left and backed out of the driveway talking about random things. "So how was it rick?" I said and in an instant rick replied "Good as always bro" as a truck came around a corner and rammed through the left side of our new truck hitting rick into the window and right after that I got slammed into the back of my seat leaving me dizzied and unable to comprehend what was going on. As my senses returned I realized our truck was flipping over and over down a hill, as we hit the bottom of the hill I blacked out with only darkness and silence surrounding me...
Now, Brendan
"Wait! Maybe Rick is alive! Maybe he is still here!" I was pulled from my recollection as I realized drenched head to toe as I was filled with hope, guilt finally was out of my head and I was hopeful... and soaked. "Ok... Maybe I should get under something." Looking around the field I was in and back in the town I ran from. I slowly walked away to the edge of the trees, with one final glance back I put my hood on my hoodie up and walked back into the damned forest. I was still crying and I realized where Zecora's was by looking for the smoke from her roof. I walked quickly through the forest seeing the usual line of trees, but this time all I saw was trees, no animals, no ponies, nothing except trees and dirt. "Where are all the animals at?" I wondered to myself. "Heh, looks like I really am the predator now even the animals hate me now." The tears slowly started to surface at a much more rapid pace. Luckily before I even wondered about the futility of my existence I was at Zecora's hut. I was about to knock on her door as I felt something pierced my back. "What the... fu... c... k..." I fell over as I slowly blacked out for the third time in the last two days.
All I heard was "Target captured." as 3 ponies in suits walked up to my body on the ground and lifted me up as I blacked out completely.
I woke up in a metal cage and than I put 2 and 2 together. Oh hell no! I'm not dealing with this! "HEY BITCHES LET ME OUT!" Ok... not the best choice of words.
"We aren't letting you out as you're being sent to the dungeon for assaulting a princess." Wait what... oh THAT princess, as in Twilight... Shit. "Well I'm fucked aren't I." I said to no one imparticular. Hmmmm maybe I can escape. I powered up my eye to its maximum power and tried to break the bars. Turns out it worked! I ran as fast as I could and looked behind me to see 5 more ponies in suits chasing me. I turned corners almost crashing into plants and walls several times. As I looked behind me I saw no one but still her a heavy trotting so, I hid in the first door to my left. Turns out I was lucky and was now in a janitor closet. I heard the trotting in front of the door and pass. When I could no longer hear it I ran towards a balcony I passed and jumped. I knew there was a river but it still was going to hurt. I landed and it felt like I ran face first into a brick wall. "OWww... shit that hurt!" I was burning all over but I got out of the water and started running again.
I was in a more mild forest now and it felt a lot less eerie than the other one. I realized I had none of my items on me except my clothing excluding my hoodie. It was cold as shit too! My arms were freezing from only wearing a t-shirt and it didn't help that I was completely soaked! My jeans were ruined too! I decided to make a fire at that moment. I walked around the forest until I found a opening in the trees. I set a medium sided log down and started to get a campfire set up. I had found a snake lying beside me so I trapped it with a stick over its head and than cut the head off with a very sharp branch. I skinned the snake and set it above my newly made fire. I cooked it for a good bit and than ate it. Now mind you it tasted disgusting. Now don't get me wrong I had eaten snake a few times back home and it was pretty good but this, I tasted so artificial and I felt like I was eating grass. But, I choked it down anyway. As it neared sunset I heard rustling in the bushes to my right. Before I could even react Rick came through the bushes. "HOLY SHIT I WILL FUCKING..." at that moment I realized it was rick. "Rick? How the fuck did you get here?" Rick looked at me. "HOLY SHIT BRENDAN!" He than replied to my question with a shrug. "Same way you did I guess?" he figured. Story time is about to happen. "Well I got here by the same means but than I met this zebra who told me to me this pony who made me throw up than I scared an entire hospital than I flipped a table. After that I left the pony followed me I hit her broke a few of her ribs. That sent her flying, I ran cried recalled the day we got sent here. Got captured by some guards broke out jumped off a balcony into water came here ate a shitty snake and that's til now." I left out the part about the crazy guy who stabbed my eye to spare Rick the gory details. "Oh yea and I got this super cool eye with insane strength and vision." I said almost forgetting about it. "Pretty cool." He said not really caring. "Pretty cool? PRETTY COOL! I ALMOST DIED LIKE FOUR OR FIVE TIMES RICK AND ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY IS 'pretty cool'."
I screamed at him and he replied. "Well my story was a whole lot worse-" "Bullshit" I cut him off "-yeah it was I'll tell you about mine. You remember the crash right?" I nodded "Well after that I landed in the middle of a desert with no food or water..." He said proudly.
"Really that's all." I said questioning him. "Nope, I'll tell you the rest tomorrow." He said really annoying like. "Are you fucking serious?" I said irritated. "Yep, just wait till tomorrow and I'll tell you" He said. "Fine." I said giving up. With that we slept on some logs and leaves we set up into a bed like structure.
