Duelist In Equestria

The morning breeze flows through an open window that's halfway open in Ponyville hospital. For a couple of days, the strange stallion that Princess Twilight Sparkle and two bearers of harmony; Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie had brought in for medical assistance was on observation.

However, the poor soul had not regained consciousness ever-since leaving the Everfree, the other girls- as told by the princess of friendship- were standing guard at the hospital, hoping that the unknown stallion would wake up soon.

But soon wasn't what the athlete mare has been hoping for.

"Ugh I'm bored." Rainbow Dash said, tucking the feathers of her wings in place, as had been unable to preen in the morning as it should because, ‘the stranger had priority over anything else.’ as Twilight said. Also said that the cards and deck of this unknown stallion found in the Everfree forest were valid, but none of the experts she consulted could give her a satisfactory answer about the cards, except that the they give out a weird energy signal.

Rainbow wanted to play against the stranger, those strange cards must be promising for a very interesting fight, and the reckless athlete was bored of winning almost all the duels that every other duelists in Ponyville had to offer her.

"Hopefully he wakes up today," murmured the athlete, "everyone knows that hospitals give me the chills, moreover boredom,” she continued talking alone, putting her hand on the deck of the stranger in the bed across the room. “I know these cards are powerful!"

"Hello dashie!" A cheerful voice interrupts her thoughts out of the athlete mare, while giving her a little scare.

"GAH! By Celestia; Pinkie- don’t do that!" The athlete yelps, putting a hand over her chest, trying to calm her galloping heart. "I still remember the incident with Mr.Eisenflower." She said angrily without thinking, narrowing her eyes, while her free hand was pointing at the party girl. Suddenly; Rainbow Dash realized she had made a mistake by making that comment, because the Ponyville Party Animal suddenly began to sob loudly, her blue eyes full of tears and her mane fully deflated.

"I didn’t mean to give Mr.Eisenflower a heart attack,*sob* just wanted to give him a gift for his birthday." Pinkie said between sobs. "Be-besidesss, he forgave me for that little accident." The girl continued, he tears rolling down her cheeks. Unbeknown to her, Dashie rolled her eyes, muttering something by the lines of “yeah, little.”

"Damn, sorry Pinkie, you know I'm no good at socializing," Dash said, smiling apologetically, "Anyway..." Any more comments was halted when they heard a grunt of pains and moans coming from the bed in the back of the room.

The mysterious stranger had finally awakened.

(??? First Person POV)

I woke up on a hard bed, the thin sheets and the smell of disinfectant telling me I was in a hospital. My head was spinning as I tried to focus my eyes on objects or people around me.

After a couple of minutes, the first thing in which I could focus was the hand in front of my face. My skin now had a whitish tone, and when I touched my hand with the other, I could feel a thin coat, also I noticed the fur being thicker on my forearms, and if I had to guess, this coat was all over my body.

The second thing I could register was the smell, granted; the smells of the hospital were predominant. But my nose right now it was really sensitive. But when I finally focused my eyesight, I noticed that now my face was a little more elongated, almost like the snout of an animal, if I had to guess, I'd say a horse.

"Hello Mr. Unknown," A voice said directly to my right, startling me, making me turn my head toward its source. Noticing for the first time of other occupants in the room, a couple of strange girls; also with features similar to mine.

The first one had her back support against the wall, her dark clothes emphasizing her blue coat and her hair (mane?) was of all colors of the rainbow, she was wearing pretty loose cargo pants, a belt and a tank top. She also wears a vest and a bulky device on her left arm, and her wings are fluttering nervously…

Wait a second… wings?

Ok what the hell?! Is this a hallucination or seriously ended up high on drugs, or am I dead? My mind is thrown into a turmoil, at that moment; I began to panic.

"Hey, Mr.WeDon’tKnowWhoYouAre, are you okay?" Twisting my head toward the direction of the voice, my eyes focused on another girl, her bright pink coat obscured by the darker pink of her mane, she was dressed in jeans and a yellow shirt with a patterned balloons upfront, the same device of the other girl; but this time on the right arm.

"Uhhh..." I said. ‘God, good start; you moron.’ I told myself mentally, "This is going to sound strange, ladies, but uhh.. where am I? and who are you?"

"We’re the girls who rescued you from the forest." The blue girl began to explain, push herself off the wall and walking with a dragging a chair along, sitting near my bed, her voice gave out a weak bored tone, as if a mother had to explain to a small child. "And my name is Rainbow Dash, and-" Point her thumb toward the other girl behind her, "she’s Pinkie Pie."

At that moment, my brain decided in a rather subtle way to remember a certain program for young children that was causing furor in my country, in addition to a fairly large community spread throughout the world. Wincing in pain, head place over my hands, I weakly nodded, before the information settled in.

"Wait just a sec.." I said, raising my hand away from my forehead, palm out out of gesture, "By any chance, do you have some friends called Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle?” I asked, tilting my head slightly to one side.

A moment of silence accompanied my question, suddenly, Pinkie was on top of me, with a look of wonder and eyes open wide.

"Oh my gosh," She exclaimed. "you know us! How is that possible?! If we don’t know you then-wait; I was going to ask if you like parties and mhfmhmmhf." Anything she was going to tell me says was lost, because Rainbow's hand covering the mouth of the girl with pink fur.

"Ok, Mr.Unknown," she began, with a chilling voice, staring at me. "no more games, who are you, or even better," she continued, smiling in a sinister way." I want to know how much you actually know about us, but before we do..." She resumes, raising her hand, fearing the worst, I closed my eyes, bracing myself for some blow or worse.

"Let's have a duel!"
