Chapter 1 - Awakening and Crashing
It was a cool spring morning, the sun had risen not long before and began to dry up the residue of a heavy shower of rain that had fallen upon a small port town known as Redwater Bay due to large reef of mostly precious coral that nearly completely cut off the bay from the open ocean, due to this fact, there was also a booming fishing industry in the small port town.
Several anthropomorphic Earth ponies and unicorns walked the docklands while inspecting their ships for any damages from the heavy storm the night earlier while others frantically rushed around the town in an attempt to organize it for the arrival of the Royal sisters of the Nation of Equestria that the town sat on the eastern coast of and the heroines who harnessed the ancient artifacts known as the Elements of Harmony. All seemed to be going well until a powerful westerly gust of wind ripped through the town, knocking pegasi out of the sky, tearing sails off the fishing ships, sending rubbish and produce through the air and pushing ponies over.
In the ensuing chaos, nopony noticed a large heavily damaged warship sail through the mouth of the bay towards the town, it’s hull was all but destroyed, large ballista bolts protruded from the hull. The dragon figurehead was torn from the bow of the ship and dangling by a series of ropes, the bulwarks were either smashed inwards over the deck or completely missing.
The cabin and helm of the ship were replaced with a burning wreckage of metal and wood while the remaining masts and sails were barely holding together as sailed through the water at high speed towards the dock, the few buoys in it’s way were crushed beneath the massive vessel.
As the ship reached an empty dock, it didn’t stop or change it’s direction instead it went through the wooden docks, sending anyone on the port ducking for cover from flying wood. To the surprise of all the ponies nearby, when the ship hit the stone wall at the end of the docks, it managed to be lifted up slightly and stop entirely, sending flaming planks and warped metal across the street.
Once the ship stopped, dozens of the town’s guards surrounded the ship in the air and on the street incase anything leapt from it and attacked but nothing came out. “Captain should we storm it?” A silver armored guard asked a unicorn mare in silver armour that had a red crest on her helmet, similar to her mane.
“Let’s wait until the Princesses and Elements of Harmony arrive before we try anything and they may know something we don’t” She said as she crossed her arms.
(Within the ship, an hour later)
“Oh god my head” a crimson haired man groaned softly as he slowly opened his eyes to discover that he was laying on a hard wooden floor with a axe sticking out of the ground near his head. He blinked a few times before he placed his hands on the floor and attempted to push himself up but stopped when a wave of pain cut through his body causing him to give a cry of pain before dropping back down. “What the?” He muttered as he looked at his legs to see that it had been impaled by a wooden spike that he had landed on “Fuck” He groaned as he carefully rotated his body so he could get his hands at the spike after collecting the axe and used it to cut the spike from the floor so he could move. “Okay… oww… where am i?” He asked as he looked around before he felt warm liquid coming down the side of his face, making him try and wipe it away.
After a quick inspection of his hand to see that he had wiped blood from his forehead, he attempted to stand again, only for a wave of dizziness to overcome him making him fall to the ground again. “Goddamn it!” He shouted in pain and annoyance.
“Did you hear that?” A far off voice asked causing the man to look around just as he noticed that he was in some kind of ship, due to it being made of mostly wood and the gently rocking.
“Hello!?” He called out while using the axe to help him get to his feet while a soft thud were heard from behind a door on the far side of the darkened room.
“Twilight what are you thinking?” Another voice asked in a worried tone as the sound of footsteps grew followed.
“The voice came from in here” The voice that the man believed was Twilight said before the handle of the door rattled. “It’s locked”
The man was about to call out again before a surge of pain shot through his head and leg causing him to groan in pain loudly.”Fuck!” he shouted in pain as several more thuds were heard from behind the door.
“Princess it sounds like somepony is in pain in there!” A voice shouted from behind the door just as the door handle ratted more vigorously.
“Somepony?” The man asked confused just as the door exploded inwards, sending a wave of shrapnel towards him and forcing him to cover his face as several chunks of wood dug into his arms and back.
“Applejack! I could have unlocked the door with my magic!” Twilight cried out as light from outside the room flooded the room.
“ Ah’m sorry Twi, ah didn’t mean ta ‘it it so ‘ard” A voice with a strong southern accent stated.
“Girls what is that?” a soft voice asked.
“I don’t know Fluttershy” Twilight asked as the man groaned and got to his feet once again and gritted his teeth.
“Oh my Celestia, it is hurt!” The voice that the man suspected was Fluttershy said before he suddenly felt a pair of gently hand touch his arm making him look to the person only to have a mini heart attack. Standing beside him was a five foot ten butter furred horse person with a set of buttery bird winds on her back, she had long pink hair and a identical pink tail. She wore a green sweater that hugged her e cup breasts and a light pink knee length skirt with white legging beneath. “Are you okay?” She asked in a soft tone only for the man to take a step backward onto his impaled leg, making a shot of white hot pain to rip through his leg and bringing him back down onto the deck with a hard thud, forcing the chucks of wood in his back and arm to be pushed deeper.
“Damn it!” He growled through gritted teeth while clutching his wounded leg tightly.
“Oh no! Twilight we need to get it to the hospital” Fluttershy said as she quickly knelt down next to the man.
“Okay, Rainbow Dash can you…”
“On in!” A new voice said briefly.
“We are gonna get you help don’t worry” The butter pegasus said with a soft smile.
“What the hell are you?” He asked as he looked at her.
“Um i am a pony… what are you?” She asked slightly curious.
“Pony? I’m a human” He said to her as two new ponies suddenly appeared, own with a violet horn and standing at roughly five foot seven and wearing a light grey blouse that covered her c cup breasts and long black leggings. She had a dark purple mane with a streak of violet and light purple running down it.
The other was a orange pony standing a six foot and wearing a red flannel with the sleeves rolled up, large double d breasts, light brown cargo pants and a stetson on her yellow mane that was in a ponytail. Upon seeing the man, her face wore a hard glare before she noticed the damage to his body from the door exploding, causing her to rub the back of her neck. “Ah’m sorry ‘bout that” She said before kneeling down next to him and inspecting the two foot long shard of foot currently living in his left leg. “Ah didn’t do this… Did ah?” She asked pointing to object.
“No, i woke up with that thing there” He grunted as he pulled himself away from the ponies with his arms, doing his best to ignore the burning and itching in his back and arms as he did so.
“Don’t move, please wait until the doctor gets here!” Fluttershy asked as she grabbed his uninjured leg.
“What’s ya name?” The southern mare asked him, gaining his attention and doing her best to distract him.
“Lex… i think?” He said as he gave a blank stare for a few moments. “Yea Lex” He said.
“Ya think?” The mare asked.
“Yea, it’s just hard to think right now with my head pounding”. Lec said holding his head.
“It looks like it may have some brain damage” The violet mare said kneeling next to Fluttershy and pulling a handkerchief from her breast pocket and dabbing his bleeding forehead, making his wince slightly.
“Lovely” He said sarcastically and rolled his eyes. “Can i at least get your names?” He asked them.
“On my name is Twilight Sparkle” The Violet mare said with a soft smile.
“I’m Fluttershy” The butter mare said quietly.
“And ah’m Applejack” The southern mare said as she glanced at Lex’s leg. “Um Twi do ya have any spells that could heal this?” She said as her hand wrapped around the wooden spike and making Lex jump slightly.
“I actually do… but i have never tried it before” Twilight said as she also looked at the wound.
“Spell?” Lex asked, only to get ignored as Twilight’s horn was suddenly surrounded in a bright violet aura. “Oh no…” He started only for a softly purple beam to shoot from her at the spike, but to the surprise of the mares, it bounced off and flew up and struck Lex in the face, knocking him out cold.
“What just happened!” Fluttershy asked confused.
“I messed up with the spell but it shouldn’t have deflected… which is weird.” She said.
“Maybe it is magic proof” A tall alabaster mare in a long white dress that hugged her curvaceous form, she had large swan like wings and a long sharp horn. Her pink eyes watched the entire encounter with curiosity as her multi colored mane flowed in a nonexistent breeze.
“No, if it was then it would not have been knocked out… maybe it was the wood?” Twilight said as Applejack looked at the mare behind Twilight and Fluttershy.
“But how can wood be magic proof?” The nine foot eight mare asked with a soft smile.
“Maybe it is enchanted… no then it couldn’t be magic proo…” Twilight said turning only for her pupils to go pin pricked while Fluttershy squeaked. “Princess Celestia sorry i…”
“It is okay Twilight, and the wood is most likely polished with a special concoction, now also i doubt it would be good for your new friend here for those to stay in his skin” She said with a soft smile as she walked around and looked at Lex. “I have never before heard of a Human and hoping he hasn’t suffered any severe brain damage, i would be delighted to find out more about his species or at least what happened to this ship” She said as she her horn glowed a majestic gold along with the four individuals before her a moment before they all vanished in the blink of an eye.
(A nearby Hospital)
“So as you can see we need a doctor.” A light blue pegasus mare with a rough rainbow mane and tail, she was wearing a dark blue tank top that covered her b cup breasts and black short shorts.
“Alright ms we… “ The nurse started before a bright flash filled the waiting room before vanishing to reveal Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack and the Princess, along with a man in a black torn jacket, jeans and a blood soaked top. Blood dripped from his leg from a large hole, and from his torso from multiple holes.
“Oh no!” another Nurse said running over to the man lying on the hospital floor.
“Oh dear, it would appear it was the wood” The princess said as she watched several pony doctors and nurses collect the unconscious man and put him on a stretcher before taking him away. “Twilight please remain here with your friends for when our new friend awakes while My sister and i shall investigate the ship” Celestia said, gaining a nod from the violet Unicorn before she teleported away.
