Back home.

Zake is finally coming home from college. It's been four long years. He wants to go see his sister,his little brother and his mom,and dad. He parked in the driveway to be greeted by his family.
"Zake!" yelled his little brother and sister.
"Come here you!" yelled Zake as he dropped his stuff and hugged his siblings.
"Zake..." said his mom as she walked and hugged her son.
"Mom I'm back!" exclaimed Zake
"Zake all it's good to see you!" exclaimed his father as he hugged his son.
"Thanks dad let me get my bags inside." said Zake as he entered his house.
"So you got any girlfriends?" asked his father as he followed him.
"No dad, not yet." Zake replied laughing.
"Ok I'll met you down stairs ok." said his father. Zake went downstairs and saw his family waiting for him. Then he noticed the news was on, he turned his head to see a devastating attack.
"I'm here in New York City were a nuke went off several minutes ago and it......." the reporter was cut off by static. (they live outside of Chicago city)
"Anyone in these areas should evacuate instantly, Miami, Washington D.C, San Dieago,and Chicago should evacuate imeadiatly." then the T.V turned into static.
"Oh no!"he ran to get his family when he saw a nuke go off nearby. All he saw was his family burning, alive. Then he was pushed back several feet then all he saw was white. He woke up in a field. Then he got up he turned around to see a cliff. He saw a city on the mountain,a forest, and what looked like a small town in the distant.
"Where am I?" Zake asked himself. He decided to head to the town. He didn't know how to get to the city. So he started to climb down it seemed like forever but after a hour or two he made it to the bottom. He looked up to see a rainbow being formed.
"That's so cool." he told himself. He looked to his left and saw his brother, he looked up, he had no eyes he made an evil laugh, and disappeared.
"Jonny, is that you please don't leave I'm here." he saw nothing but all he heard was a soft voice saying "why". It was faint but he could here it. He ignored it and headed toward the town. He was tired, hungry, and sad. His family was killed by who knows and he ended up in some Random place. He finally got to the town. When he entered all he saw was ponies, he didn't move or say anything he was really, freaked out and scared. Then a orange pony came up too him he took a step back.
"Sorry ah scared you, can you talk?" asked the curious pony.
"I.... Can talk, but... How can you talk?" asked the frightened Zake.
"We all talk." she pointed out everyone....every pony.
"But on earth we ride ponies, they don't talk." he noticed that the pony was very confused about what he said. Then a white Pony with wings and a horn came out of nowhere and every pony bowed. Zake stand still very scared.
"Sorry about everything, my name is Princess Celestia. Your not on earth anymore you in Equestria." Zake nearly passed out because of what she said.
"Oh but what happened how did I get here?" asked the frightened Zake. The white pony just looked at him. Them it started to rain.
"We need to get you inside here follow me." He followed her to a tree.
"What are we doing here?" asked Zake.
"We are going to talk to my star pupil." she replied while opening the door. She was greeted by a small purple dragon.
"Um Princess I don't mean to be rude or anything but who is that?" asked the dragon.
"Oh i didn't get your name." said the Princess.
"Zake, my name is Zake." answered Zake
"That's a nice name." said the Princess.
"Nice to meet you Zake." said the Dragon.
"Um, nice to meet you to." said the confused Zake.
"Princess!" yelled a purple unicorn. She ran up to her and hugged her
"Um Princess who is this?" asked the purple unicorn.
"Zake this is Twilight Sparkle, Twilight this is Zake." said the Princess.
"Hello." said Zake.
"Hi Zake." said Twilight Sparkle. Then a orange pony came in.
"Hey Twi did you see that...oh hi."said the orange pony.
"The names Zake, Yours?" asked Zake.
"Oh my name is Apple Jack, um Twi can you help with apple bucking tomorrow?" asked Apple jack.
"Yes of course um Zake do you wanna help?' asked Twilight.
"Sure, I'll help." said Zake.
"Twilight can Zake stay here?" asked the Princess.
"Of course we have a guess bedroom." replied Twilight.
"Ok well I have to go to Canterlot for a important meeting please take care Zake." said the Princess leaving followed by Apple jack.
"So let me so you your room." said Twilight. Twilight opened the door to a plain one bed and one bathroom bedroom.
"Thanks for letting me stay." said Zake.
"Any time. Also you might want to know what happens in Equestria." said Twilight going into the library.
"Yeah of course." Zake walked into the library. They spent what seemed like hours. Twilight would tell Zake what the Elements of Hamony are and what is Equestria. He was absorbing so much information he had a headache. After they finished he went to bed.
"Thanks Twilight." said Zake as he entered his room. He looked out his window, he looked up to the night sky, what seemed like forever. Then a small breeze came into the room, them he heard what seemed like a door opening. He went to the door and opened it he saw nothing. Then he went to bed wondering what was that sound. Then the same sound happened he opened his door to see nothing. Then he closed the door and went to bed.

Secrets

"Darling are you ok." said Rarity. He quickly snapped out of it.
"Oh yeah I'm ok." Zake said scratching his neck. When they got there they quickly made a shirt for him. Then he headed to the library. He wanted to tell her he is being haunted by his brother. When he got to the library he heard whispering then he looked though a crack in the door he saw Princess Celestia and Luna.
"Please Twilight don't tell him..." she was cut off by Zake yelling at her.
"DONT TELL ZAKE WHAT?!" yelled Zake the Princess was frozen
"Hi.... Zake." said Luna.
"Your going to tell me what you just said to Twilight." he said in a very strick voice.
"I.... Can't tell you." he quickly grabbed her neck.
"TELL ME!" yelled Zake.
"Ok." he quickly let go all he heard was gasp form Luna and Twilight.
"I sent you here." said the Princess.
"Wait.....What! You sent me here. WHY!?!" yelled Zake.
"Because we need to save the human race." interrupted Luna.
"So you sent me here because my race is dead, oh did I forget to tell my FAMILY, OH IM SORRY MY DEAD FAMILY IS HAUNTING ME!!" yelled Zake.
"Its a side affect of teleporting you here." Zake almost fell to his knees.
"What! You sent me here to get haunted by my family." tears were slowly coming out of his eyes.
"Please send me back to my world." said Zake.
"I can't you'll die!" yelled Luna.
"At least I'll die like the rest of my family!" yelled Zake running out to the Train tracks. He entered the train and took the seat. Crying.
"Are you ok?" asked a Unfimilar pony.
"No I'm not ok." replied Zake.
"I'm Spritfire, we are going to Canterlot for our show do you want to come." said Spirtfire.
"Sure."He followed her to the next train cart that said Winderbolts only.
"Spirtfire who is that?" asked Soarin.
"My name is Zake." he said.
"Hey the names Soarin." he said he followed them to the last seat.
"So Zake why were you crying?" asked Spirtfire.
"Wait you were crying?" asked Soarin.
"Shut it!" yelled Spirtfire.
"I was at my house coming back from college when a nuke goes of nearby. Killing my family, appeartly Celestia teleported me here so my race would live. Also my dead family is haunting me." everyone on the cart was looking at him. He got up to leave, when the train car opened behind him. There were two royal guards.
"He that's him!" one talked him.
"What are you doing!?" asked Zake.
"You are under arrest!" yelled a guard.

The fight

"Why am I'm under arrest?!" asked Zake.
"The Princess wants to talk to you." said a guard.
"I'm not going to talk to the Princess!" yelled Zake. He heard a guard whisper to the other guard.
"Where are we going to take the prisoner?" Zake punched him off and kicked the other away. He ran to the front of the train, with two guards chasing him. Zake looked back at the guards the to the front of the train. He saw his sister!
"Your going to burn.........." he ran passed her crying then ever seat was filled with his sister. Then he saw his family standing in front off him. All of them did not have any eyes they were hollow and blood was coming out. He stood still the he was tackled to the ground. Then a guard punched him out cold. Zake woke up being dragged into a castle. Then he was shoved on the ground. He slowly got up and saw the mane 6, the princesses, and spike.
"Why did you attack a guard?" asked the Princess.
"They attacked me!" yelled Zake. He turned to his left to see his sister.
"No..... I told them to arrest you. You need help." said Celestia.
"No I need to go to my planet." replied Zake.
"Like I said you'll die on earth." interupted Luna. Then the ground was shaking. Then a Changling fell into the window and took Zake.
"Zake!" yelled the mane 6. They were to late, he was captured. Zake was being lifted of the ground then he saw Rainbow Dash following them. Zake looked down to the waterfall. He quickly punched the Changling which made him let Zake go. Zake was trying to glide to the waterfall. The highspeed wind was pushing him away. Then he couldn't glide. He was heading straight for the forest. Then he stopped like someone was holding him. He looked up to see Rainbow Dash and Futtershy, holding him.
"Thank you." said Zake.
"Anyday!" yelled Rainbow Dash.
"Oh your welcome." replied the shy pony. They slowly flew Zake back to the castle. When they dropped him, he asked a question.
"Please, send me back to my world." he said.
"For the last time I can't." He heard her mutter something to herself.
"Why would a Changling want Zake?" asked Twilight.
"I need to go back to my world before it gets out of hand." said Zake.
"I can't." replied the princess. Zake turned to his right to the mane 6 and then he turned to his left to his his dead family, waiting for him.
"I know!" yelled Twilight.
"Well." said the princess.
"His love for his family." said Twilight. Zake fell to his knees, he felt a hoof, then 5 more.
"Get off please" he said. They quickly got off. Then he rushed out of the room.
"Should I go get him." said Spike.
"No he needs to find out why he is here." said the princess.

Zake's new life

Zake was walking out of the castle he headed for the train when he saw the mane 6 go on board with Spike, he quickly improvised and went another direction, making sure they don't see him. Then 2 random ponies flew right over to him.
"Hey why were you under arrest?" asked Soarin.
"Long story." replied Zake. All he was thinking about was why were they still were following him. Then a large black cloud of lightning formed above Cantelot. It was raining really bad.
"He follow us!" yelled Spirtfire. They all ran to a hotel that said wonderbolts HQ on the top.
"Wow." Zake muttered to himself.
"Well here we are Zake." said Spirtfire.
"You r-remembered my name." said Zake.
"Of course I did." replied Spirtfire. Zake saw Soarin was a little mad for no reason. They went upstairs to a bedroom.
"Uh Spirtfire w-what is that the new human?" asked Blazeshot.
"Yes Blazeshot he's going to stay here for a while." said Spirtfire.
"Zake this is Blazeshot who is best at diving straight down into the ground with out breaking a bone." said Spirtfire.
"Hi Blazeshot." said Zake.
"Ok bye." he said rushing away.
"What's his problem?" asked Zake.
"He's kindia afraid of you." said Soarin.
"Well here's your room." said Spirtfire. She opened the door to a two room one bathroom and kitchen bedroom.
"Wow this is nice, thank you so much." said Zake. He yearned really loudly.
"Well I'm going to bed, good night, um Spirtfire right?" asked Zake.
"Yeah good night." she left the room with Soarin. He noticed that she was blushing alot. He got in bed he turned to his his dad on the couch.
"So son, do you like when we visit you?" asked his dead father. Zake quickly got up.
"Dad why am I here?" asked Zake.
"You didn't awnser my question." said Zake's dead father
"I don't like when you scare the shit out of me." Zake said.
"Ok but I can't stop that, only you can, facess your fear and kill it." said his father.
"Oh I never thought of it like that. But do you know why I'm here." He looked back at where his father was, he wasn't there.
"Typical, no one will tell me why I'm here." he got in bed thinking about why he was sent here. He woke up to a loud knock on the door.
"Zake are you up it's Spirtfire." he quickly got up and opened the door.
"Hi Spirtfire." he said Lazily.
"Well I talked to the boss and you are now a Wonderbolt!" she said Happily.
"Thank you so much but what will I do?" asked Zake.
"Oh you will help us with business deals and other stuff around that line." said Spirtfire.
"Spirtfire are you coming!" yelled Soarin.
"Oh yeah, Zake do you want to go swimming with us." asked Spirtfire.
"Yeah sure." she went to the down stairs into the pool. He went downstairs to the pool. Then he took a bench and took his shirt off. He started to tan. He heard ponies laughing and playing in the water.
"Hey Zake come into the water it's nice!" yelled Spirtfire.
"I'm going to tan a little while then I'll go in." replied Zake.
"Ok but don't say I didn't warn you." she said going back into the water.
"Wha?" he asked but he heard no repliy. Then about a minute later his bench was lifted up,he quickly look to she all the Wonderbolt Stalions picking him up he tried to get off but he was to late they tilted the chair and he slipped into the nice cool water.
"Ahhhh!" he yelled as he was forced into the water. He quickly surfaced to see Soarin laughing really hard. Zake got out of the pool and picked up Soarin. Soarin snapped out of it and started yelling, then Zake threw him into the pool. He got back on the bench, and put his shades on that he had in his pockets. He heard hooves coming his way.
"All are you mad that you were threw into the pool." said Spirtfire.
"Your next!" yelled Zake getting out of his bench and picking her up. She squirmed until she was thrown into the pool. Zake started laughing. Then Soarin and Spirtfire got out and threw him into the pool. After they were done Zake went back into there room.
"Did you have fun?" asked his dad.
"Yeah dad I'm having fun I just wish you were here to see it." said Zake.
"I'm am here, seeing you have fun with these ridiculous ponies." said his dad.
"There not ridiculous!" yelled Zake.
"See your fighting you fear, your talking to your fear." said his dad.
"What my fear?" asked Zake.
"Losing your family." said his dad. Zake almost passed out of the fear.
"So I'm seeing the family because I'm scared that you left forever?" asked Zake.
"Correct." said his dad.
"I just wish you could be here with me." he started to cry.
"I know that Jessie would love this place, and Jonny would mess around. They would love this place." he really started to cry now.
"Why am I here dad?" asked Zake.
"That is what you have to find out." he said. He looked up to see his dad vanished into thin air. He heard a knock on the door.
"Zake are you ok?" asked Soarin.
"Yeah." said Zake.
"Well we need you to help us." Said Soarin. Zake got up and opened the door.
"What do you need help with?" asked Zake.
"A prank." said Soarin.

"A prank. Ok what do I have to do?" asked Zake.
"Ok so you going to go into the vent and break into Spirtfires room. Then we will do the rest." said Soarin.
"Ok." replied Zake. They got to the vent which leads to Spirtfires room, he unlocked the door for Soarin and Blazeshot.
"So what are you guys looking for?" asked Zake.
"Where not look......."
"She's behind me isnt she." then he was hit on the back of his head. He was knocked out. He woke up several hours later, it wasn't his bedroom, it was Spirtfires! Zake touched the back of his head there was a bandage there.
"Oh Zake." said Spirtfire.
"Hey what happened last night?" asked Zake.
"Oh Mistly came by and knocked you out." said Spirtfire.
"Also the boss told me to give this to you." she handed him a Wonderbolt badge.
"Also we have a new rookie coming in today, her name is Rainbow Dash." said Spirtfire.
"What! Ah!" he collapsed on the bed he was on.
"Why do you no like her?" asked Spirtfire.
"No I was just surprised that she is coming, that's all." he quickly exited the room. He went down to help Rainbow Dash with her stuff because that's his job.
"Z-Zake?" asked Rainbow.
"Yeah what's up?" asked Zake.
"You work here with the wonderbolts?" asked Rainbow.
"Yeah I do." said Zake. They continued there confersation until they made it to her room.

"What are you doing?!" yelled Zake.
"I asked her out so many times because of you!" yelled Soarin.
"Who?" asked Zake bearly breathing.
"Spirtfire!" yelled Soarin. Zake had enough he grabbed his wing and tore it and snapped it, then he punched him in the gut, then he threw him on the ground.

"Your here to, save Equestria." exclaimed Celestia
"Save Equestria, so I'm suppose to save Equestria, how?" asked Zake. Out of nowhere the queen of Changlings busted the window and grabbed Rainbow Dash and dived out the window. Zake jumped after them, they were diving straight to the waterfall. He grabbed the queen and punched her until she left go of Rainbow, the queen took Zake instead, Rainbow couldn't keep up. Zake was a goner, the saver of Equestria gone. He woke up in some random cave.
