//-------------------------------------------------------// The Elements of Creation -by Sentinel343- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Arrival //-------------------------------------------------------// Author's Note Warning: a lot of swearing is involved. Don't like it don't read it. and if you get any references I make, kudos for you. Arrival (This will take place as the Nightmare Moon attack on Ponyville is occurring.) I always was an outsider. I made multiple efforts to make friends in the many schools I attended bouncing around the US in a military family. But friendships never really clicked for me... Until I came to El Paso, Texas, where I met my best friend David. He resides there to this day. But sadly as all relationships do when in a military family, we parted ways. We are still best friends but sadly we are distanced physically from one another. Now in a new home, I am back to the same old dance of trying to make friends and failing miserably. Back at the house it isn't much different. I am often being cast out because as an ADHD child that is also an addict, I make the same mistakes over and over again. So my family doesn't really pay much attention to me as long as they enjoy themselves. So I often get the chance to stargaze from my Throne (not an actual throne but to me it is what I refer to as my chair.) So when I saw the stars moving, I thought it was the beginning of a meteor shower and decided to make a wish. Little did I know it would send me into a friendship adventure and love life I could never have conceived to be real in my life. I also failed to notice the black horse that appeared briefly in the face of the moon. My Wish: 'I wish that I can make friends, and meet the one I want to spend my life with' And with that I disappeared off the face of the Earth, and onto another. I come to consciousness in darkness. "Holy crap my head hurts..." I bring my hands to my head and begin to rub my temples. But then 2 solid things hit me in the head where my hands where supposed to land. "OW, WHAT THE... Fuck?" I look down at my hands or what used to be my hands in confusion. In the place of my hands were what I could see were horse hoofs. Furrowing my brows in confusion, my eyes track up the rest of my new limbs where my wrist should meet my hand is a ultramarine colored, fur covered horse leg. Then my eyes get to my shoulder blades and see an ultramarine colored torso not my own. I see more of a horses body (also ultramarine colored) with the exception of 2, of what I can tell, are wings of a bird. My mind takes about 10 seconds of crashing before it comes up with an appropriate response. "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL ON EARTH IS THIS!?!?!?!?!?!?!" But then I notice the snout of the end of my face. Looking past it, I see a small puddle. Using what muscle control I have over my new found body, I hurl myself in its direction. I see an ultramarine colored unicorn with a windy green, watery blue, fiery red, and dirt brown mane and tail with wings looking back at me in the reflection of the puddle. My little sister was a major horse fan and in turn learned about mythological horses as well, including Alicorns. "SWEET MERCIFUL CRAP!!! AM I A FUCKING ALICORN?!?!?! WHAT ASSHOLE FUCKING GOD DECIDED TO DIE AND LET FUCKING LOKI TAKE CONTROL OF MY FATE!?!?!?!?" I shout in nothing short of hysteria. Then I hear a booming laughter and the faint whispers of what I assume is talking in the distance. I blink before what I assume is a rational thought comes to mind. 'Laughing and talking means civilization, right? Maybe the people who live here can help me!' So with that I set off to find what I think is human civilization. Boy was I wrong... 30 minutes later... I soon arrive in a small... and painfully, colorful town after about half an hour of falling on my face and learning to use my new body. Though it looks like every building would collapse in on itself and kill the occupants if so much as a feather landed on the roof. I couldn't tell if I was in a 3rd world country or something else... I shrug and continue towards the sounds of laughing. Jinxing down several alleyways, I finally arrive at the source, another Alicorn with midnight black fur, dark blue hair that flowed in an intangible wind, and on its flank is a tattoo of a menacing moon in a midnight black sky. Confused I looked around for humans. 'Buildings, check. Laughing, check. People?' I thought. I looked back at the Alicorn, I see it is still laughing maniacally. I shrug. 'Probably means one of 2 things. 1: That star I wished on teleported me to another universe and in turn, a new planet or 2: This is all a dream and for some reason my mind wandered to this in the dream state.' Being a sci-fi nut, I go with route 1, for giggles mostly. I clear my throat and approach the still laughing Alicorn. "Greetings! I come in peace! Take me to your leader!" She stops laughing, and turns to me with a glare. "Who might thou be?" it asks. "I am Bryce, and I am here for-" I begin before it begins to laugh uproariously. "HAHAHAHAHA, what kind of name is that?!?!?" It asks still in a fit of laughter. I scowl. "Its a perfectly good name you ass." I say It immediately stops laughing and glares death at me. Then it flares its wings behind it menacingly. "HOW DARE THOU INSULT US!!! WE ARE NIGHTMARE MOON, BRINGER OF ETERNAL NIGHT, SOON TO BE RULER OF ALL OF EQUESTRIA!!!" The now identified, Nightmare Moon booms. Now its my turn to laugh. "HAHAHAHA, what kind of dumbass girly name is that?!?! And bringer of eternal night!?!?! Don't make me laugh!!! According to the laws of the fucking UNIVERSE, the planets orbit around the sun on their own rotational axis!!! So unless you can stop both the rotation around the sun and the rotation of the planet we stand upon that isn't going to fucking-" I never got to finish that sentence, as I received a black lightning bolt to the face. I get launched from the impact, screaming from the pain, into a building that looked like a giant pastry. I shake off some pastry and rubble from my face. Standing back up, I glare Hell itself at Nightmare Moon. "YOU FUCKING WHORE!!!! ALL I WANTED WAS TO COME INTO TOWN FIND SOME PEOPLE, GET MY HUMAN BODY BACK AND GO HOME!!! BUT NOOOOOOOOOO. I CAME INTO TOWN TO SEE A FUCKING BITCH OF AN ALICORN LAUGHING HER BITCH ASS OFF OVER GOD KNOWS WHAT-" At the time, while I was ranting I failed to notice that my body was slowly turning into a flaming Alicorn shaped inferno with enough power to match the pure rage running through my system. I also failed to notice the rubble surrounding me had caught fire and was melting from the inferno being generated by my rage filled body. However, Nightmare Moon noticed and now saw me as a true threat. A midnight blue glow flowed over her horn as she charged up a spell. "-AND ANOTHER THING!!! THAT FUCKING LIGHTNING BOLT FUCKING HURT YOU FUCKING CUNT!!! YOU KNOW WHAT?!? FUCK YOU!!!" I charged forward, leveling my flaming horn like a javelin or jousting rod. Then she released the spell, which materialized as a massive energy blast that demolished everything in my direction. Except me. Still charging, the power of the rage fueled flame had absorbed the energy blast and had channeled it into even more flame for the inferno. Nightmare Moon looked like she was panicking as I drew close. She threw up an energy barrier in an effort to protect herself, but it was in vain. My horn made contact, and with a fiery explosive inferno, the shield shattered. Smoke from the explosion filled the area. I was blinded by the amount of smoke and I squinted to get a glimpse of where she was so I could kick the crap out of her further. Suddenly a pitch black mini horse jumped out of the smoke at me, baring its dagger like teeth at me. With a yelp, I jump back and a trail of fire blasted from my horn melting the horse into little more than a puddle. Suddenly, a wind gust blew through the area, taking the smoke with it. And I see about 7 more of the evil horses, or should I call them ponies? Imma call them ponies. I see Nightmare Moon standing behind them, smiling wickedly before she sees the black puddle, then she growls. "KILL HIM!!! RIP HIM LIMB FROM LIMB!!!" She says pointing a hoof towards me. The black ponies growl, and charge, but 3 run into the forest, for reasons I don't know nor care about. With a roar of challenge, I charge too. But as I was about to make contact with them, I exploded. Not like I detonated into pieces and died, no that would be a bad ending to the story and I wouldn't be here to tell you this story. I exploded in a Fiery explosive inferno that launched itself from by body, burning the ponies into ashes. Blinking at what I did, Nightmare Moon and I stare at the ashes of the ponies. However I recover faster than her. "HA!!! THAT THE BEST YOU GOT BITCH?!? ALL IM GOING TO SAY BEFORE I RIP OFF YOUR HEAD AND PUT IT ON A PIKE FOR A TROPHY IS IM NOT IMPRESSED!!!" She glared death at me once more and began to charge another spell, when suddenly her eyes flared in surprise and she looked to the forest I landed here in. "That's impossible!! I made sure those were gone myself!!!" She said and she disappeared in front of me. I roar in frustration. She will not escape my wrath!!! Just as suddenly as when she disappeared, I sensed her reappear somewhere else. I grin evilly. NONE ESCAPE MY WRATH!!! I charged out of the town leaving a trial of molten magma and burning buildings in my wake. I ran for about 15 minutes before I reached my destination, an old ruined castle. Thinking back on it, it would have looked awesome in it prime. But at the time I couldn't give 2 flying fucking shits. I charge at a stone wall and as I make contact I burn through it, turning it into magma. Looking around the room I see my target, Nightmare Moon, standing in front of 6 multi-colored ponies. One is a purple Unicorn wearing a tiara and has a sparkle tattoo on its butt, another was a cyan colored Pegasus with a prism colored mane and tail wearing a necklace and had a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt coming out of it in the same area, another was a white unicorn with a purple mane and tail with 3 diamonds as a tattoo in the same area again (with a necklace), another was as pink as I will get out (species pony) with 3 balloons as a tattoo (wearing a necklace), another was a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane and tail with 3 butterfly's as a tattoo (wearing a necklace), and lastly an orange pony wearing a Stetson hat and 3 apples as a tattoo on its butt (wearing a necklace). They were all flying in the air, floating in pure energy. But once again I didn't care. All I wanted was Nightmare Moons head. I roared again, and leveled my horn again, and once again it was wreathed in a fiery inferno. The roar alerts Nightmare Moon to my presence, and she mirrors my stance and charges as well. We make contact and I feel a shoot pain in my chest and another flare of pain as well. I look at the damage I caused to see I impacted the side of her neck, only giving a mild wound that cauterized from the shear heat. She screams in pain as I latch my flaming body onto hers and suddenly all I can see is pure white. I wake with a groan. I open my eyes and look around. I'm still in the castle and I am surrounded by those ponies that were in the energy ball. Though they seem to be in the middle of a conversation. They soon notice I am awake. They all turn to me and bow, though it looks like the white and purple Unicorn is trying not to throw up. "Your majesty." The purple unicorn says. Then I notice a dripping sound. Looking to the source, I see it is my body. I am standing in a puddle of my own blood. I see a gaping hole in my chest, then I notice several scorch marks and the smell burned flesh. Looking back up at the ponies I grin and weakly say: "I think I got nicked." Then I pass out of the land of the living for the 3rd time that day and into unconsciousness. //-------------------------------------------------------// I believe an introduction is in order!!! //-------------------------------------------------------// Author's Note Whew, that took a awhile! (Cracks back, pops fingers.) This chapter will be more chill, and we will be meeting the mane 6 in this chapter. I believe an introduction is in order!!! I wake, yet again with a splitting headache. I groan and bring my hooves (slowly this time so as not to smack myself in the head again) to my forehead and massage it. I open my eyes to see an angry cyan and prism colored pony nose to nose with me. I yelp and throw a punch. It connects with its lower right jaw and it goes flying into the wall. In the following 3 seconds I got, I managed to analyze the entire room in view. It looks just like a normal human hospital room without any of the technology. To my right is a cardinal blue colored curtain separating half of the room from me and the other side of the rooms occupant. Then the blue Pegasus is back up again. "What the buck!?" She (apparently, from what I can tell with its pitch of voice) says with an angry growl, rubbing her jaw where my hoof made impact. She launches herself through the air at me and tackles me out of my bed and into the curtain. The curtain collapses and falls down on top of us. We continue to skid and smack into a hard metal thing. I hear a crashing sound and a loud 'oof'. The Blue Pegasus and I both start thrashing the get out of the curtain. My horn rips a hole through the curtain and I press my newfound advantage. Ripping the hole wider, I make it big enough to squeeze my head though. Poking my head through the new hole I see: "YOU!!!" I shout in anger. I see the other occupant of the room, an Alicorn that looks just like Nightmare Moon. She looks back at me confused. "Dost I know thou?" She asks. I growl and try to pounce on her but get caught in the curtain. Then the Blue Pegasus gets out of the curtain. "I'm gonna throttle you!!!" she launches herself at me with a flap of her wings and grab my face. Raising a hoof to land a punch, she is stopped by a golden glow surrounding both of us. I turn to the source of the golden glow and see a large white Alicorn, with the other ponies I saw earlier standing beside her. (I am just assuming they are all girls judging by color scheme.) The white Alicorn had a large multi-colored mane that flowed in an intangible wind. "Rainbow Dash! Why and how did you get yourself in this mess!?" The purple one exclaimed. She mumbled a bit and looked at her mouth. The purple one looked at the white Alicorn and gestured to her mouth. The white Alicorn face-palmed... Face hoofed? She face hoofed and the golden glow stop encompassing the newly named Rainbow Dash's head. "I was just watching him, when he woke up and hoofed me in the face!" She exclaimed. A white pony in gold armor walked in carrying a ring in his hoof. The white Alicorn waved her hoof at me and the new white pony walked up to me and placed the ring around my horn. I was just watching this transpire with a puzzled expression. The new pony stepped back and walked out of the room and out of sight. The golden glow recedes from my head. "Who are you and what do you rule?" The white Alicorn asks. I hmph, and turn away. "I ask again, who are you and what do you rule?" She asks. Turning back to her, I glare and say: "Why should I say anything other than what I am saying now, hm?" "Because I will take the information if you don't." I roll my eyes at this. 'What is this, some cheesy spy movie? Fine, I'll bite.' I thought. "What are ya gonna do torture me?" I say tauntingly. "No, this." she says. Her horn flashes, and the world turn into a gray empty plane. Surprised, I look all around. All I see is gray in all directions. "Am I dead? Is this Hell? If this is Hell, Hell is boring..." I say. Suddenly, the world changes into Hell from Doom 4 complete with dead bodies. I yelp and it shifts back. Confused yet again, I do a double take, and the event repeats again. 'Is this the dream scape?' I think and it booms all around me. "Nope mind scape." I say aloud. "Very observant Bryce." A voice says. With a yelp, I turn to the source of the voice. I find standing there the white Alicorn. I growl. "Who are you and how did you get into my mind?!" I shout at her. "I used a simple mind-reading spell and combined it with a dream walking spell. And I am Princess Celestia, Ruler Of Equestria. And you go by the name Bryce. What is your real name?" She asks. "What do you mean 'what is your real name?' That is my real name! I am not a fucking Alicorn! I don't belong here!" I shout at her. The room around us began to take a fiery red appearance as my rage and frustration grew. Celestia took a step back, keeping a calm, emotionless face at my outburst. "Please, do explain." She asked, gesturing me to continue. With a groan, I flopped down to the ground. "I was hoping to get some emotional response. But fine. Might want to sit down for this. this is going to be a little crazy." I say. "There is no need for you to tell me your history, only how you got here." She says, sensing a monologue oncoming. I sigh happily. "Good, because I really did not want tot go into a monologue! I'm pretty sure that, as cheesy as it sounds, I arrived via star travel. I was back in my room at my home... on Earth not here, and when I saw some stars moving across the sky, I thought that they were a bunch of falling stars, of course being the dumbass that I am. I made a wish and then here I am!" I say exasperatedly. She puts a hoof to her chin and her horn glow once more. I feel her sifting through my thoughts and memories. I growl and try to resist her. Suddenly I feel her progress stop. Looking up at my horn, I see an ultramarine colored glow surrounding it. I grin. I put more effort in to whatever I am doing. As we mentally fight a war with one another, I watch as her façade cracks, revealing her surprise. I grin wider, standing up. I put as much power into it as I can, and my horn begins to glow 8 more colors: Gold, Grey, Purple, Brown, Green, Fiery Red, Windy Blue, and Oceanic Blue. The combined colors makes the mindscape around us turn into a prism of color. She visibly winces and grabs her head with her hoof. "Get out of my head!" I roar. And with another burst of effort we exit my mindscape. I awake in a new place. It looks just like my mindscape except pure white. I groan. "I really need to stop passing out." I say. "How did you get into my mind!?" A voice angrily questioned me from behind. I yelp and jump, flapping my wings once, and turned to see who had spoken. It was Celestia. I growl. "I didn't say that you could scan my memories at your leisure you prick." I growl to her. "I realize this, and choose to ignore your protests, due to the fact that I must protect my subjects. How did you reverse the mind reading spell? When I scanned you memories, the world you came from had no magic so there is no possible way you could learn to use magic this quick. Explain, NOW." She growled back. "Yeah, no. I don't answer to you. Now, as I see it, we have 2 options. 1: You can release the spell holding us here, and we can talk this out like civilized people... erm ponies, I guess, or, we can hold each other in each others minds forever and get very personal with one another, and when one of us decides to leave, we spill some very important and embarrassing secrets to the populace about one another, and in turn, ruin one another's lives for as long as the live. What do ya say? Do we have a deal?" I said and held out my hoof. She growls and scowls at me, and then her horn start glowing. Not feeling any resistance to enter my mind again, I analyze her facial features and quickly realize that she is thinking over her options. I lower my hoof, set it down, and sit down. Then I begin to twiddle my figurative thumbs. After about, what felt like 2 minutes her horn stopped glowing and she looks me in the eyes. She groans, scowls at me, and holds out her hoof. "We have a deal." She growls. I smile. "I knew you'd see it my way!" I say annoyingly happily. (Mostly just to be a dick.) I held out my hoof and we shook hooves. (somehow.) Her horn glowed and we exited the mindscape(s). I awoke with a massive headache. "Ow ow ow ow..." I said, rubbing my temples. I open my eyes to see all the assembled ponies staring at me and Celestia expectantly, aside from Rainbow Dash who was glaring at me in an attempt to intimidate me. "Well, what did you find?" The purple one asked. "All I found is somepony that needs more than I can or will provide for him. Twilight, if you will, please take him back to Ponyville-" *snicker* Celestia glares death at me. The recently identified Twilight also looked at me in confusion. "Is something amusing?" Celestia asked, her voice positively flooded with venom direct at me. I wont lie, the amount of venom and loathing I could sense coming off of her made me wince. But of course, being the smartass that I am, I decided to piss her off further. "Ponyville?! What kind of name is that?! It sounds like the name of some tiny pastel colored town from a 2 year olds show!!!" I exclaimed. "I assure you, that is a common name for Equestrian society..." Twilight responded in an intrigued voice. At this I merely shrug. I stand up, and Celestia turns to Twilight once more. "I repeat the question Twilight, but this time with a warning, Bryce as he calls himself will be much more difficult to contain than you think. He comes not from this world. He has no idea what he has been forced into. Take care of him. Don't let him out of your sight. Understand?" She asked. Twilight pauses. "Yes. I will do it." Celestia nods. "Good, I will have a squad of Guards escort you and your friends to the train, I will also provide you money to pay for it, safe travels." Celestia said with a smile to the ponies and a glare to me. 'I doubt that she will ever like me... meh. Don't give a shit.' I thought. "Soooo, Twilight is it? Lead the way." I say and gesture to the door. Twilight nods and turns to the midnight blue Alicorn. "Goodbye Princess Luna, hope you get better." She says with a smile. "Thank you." Luna responds. Twilight turns to the other ponies. "Come on girls!" she says and trots out the door. "Right behin' you twi!" The one wearing the Stetson says, and she and the other ponies trot out the door after Twilight, Rainbow Dash glaring at me the whole way out the door. I follow them with a smile. At the doorway I give a glare to Princess Luna before I leave. After that I exit the room with the smile I had on a second ago. 'This is going to be quite the adventure!' I think.
