The Wolverine
A Weird New World
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Wait... I think he's moving..."
Logan shuffled around, tossing and turning, which signals that he is at least alive. However, he is not awake yet.
"What... Is it?" Asks a voice that seemed to have come from someone right next to Logan. His ears twitched as he shuffled around a bit more.
"What and odd creature. It's certainly not a pony."
"Maybe it's just not from around here?"
"I don't think so, AppleJack, it doesn't look like anything I've seen or heard about before. Actually, come to think of it, it looks oddly familiar to the creatures that I met when I traveled to the other world."
"You talking about through that mirror portal thingy?"
"Yes... They looked so similar to this creature, yet something is very different."
The discussion was clearly about Logan and about what he type of creature he is. Logan could faintly hear the conversation around him, but he was still slightly weak which is why he was taking so long to wake up. His breathing became heavier and his heart pumped faster, though. He was definitely alive at the very least.
"Hold on, it's moving again."
"Be careful Twi, it was quite dangerous before, I wonder if it's always like that?"
"I hope not. Maybe we should leave it to rest. Come on, we'll check on it later."
"Maybe not."
"Why?"
"Ah think it's waking up."
Suddenly, as if he had been electrocuted, Logan jerked awake immediately. He stood up quite fast, ignoring the aches in his muscles from sleeping on the the cold floor. He was sweating and panting uncontrollably like a feral animal just being released from it's cage. He took a bit of time to look around so he could become aware of his surroundings. Thankfully, his vision is as clear as ever. Unfortunately, he was still in the cold, wooden barn, exactly where he fell asleep before. As he slowly turned around, he noticed two brightly coloured, cautious horses both shivering in fear. One of them actually seemed more intrigued than scared. Logan also recognised the other one, which he was not happy about at all.
"Wonderful. Absolutely fucking wonderful. I'm still here..." He muttered angrily, "Just what I goddamn need..."
He squinted his eyes and stared at both of the horses intimidatingly. It was as if time stopped completely and Logan was just left staring bitterly in fury. The purple horse stepped forward, about to open her mouth to talk, but Logan immediately reacted as if it were an attack. Before the purple one could respond, Logan swiftly charged at the petrified unicorn with wings and swiftly grabbed it by the neck. He lifted it up in the air and then held it up against the wall.
"WHERE AM I?! WHAT ARE YOU FREAKS?!" He screamed, expecting a simple answer. The small, purple horse squirmed a little, it's hooves desperately trying to pull Logan's arms away. However, his grasp was abnormally firm leaving no possible chance of escape. It attempted to get away using magic from it's horn, maybe by teleporting, but it had no luck as it'd already become too fatigued to attempt something like that.
"ANSWER ME!" Logan exclaimed, preparing to extend his adumantium claws to threaten the innocent horse further.
"LET HER GO!" The orange horse yelled, beginning to charge at Logan. In the nick of time, he extended his animal-like claws and pointed them directly at her before she reached him, causing her to come to a sudden stop.
"Listen here, you fuck. I'm alone, confused and angry. That's a rare combination that should never be mixed. I'm fucking warning you, do not even think about attacking me or I'll shove that hillbilly hat of yours where the sun don't shine. Understand?" She nodded, utterly terrified.
"Same goes for you, fruitcake." He said to the purple horse in his grasp. "Now answer my fucking question."
"You're... In... E-Equestria..." Replied the purple pony, choking on it's words as it became increasingly difficult to breathe. "My name is... Twilight S-Sparkle... I'm an alicorn..."
Logan was furious. He got one answer at least, but he felt that it was too little information, which is understandable if you wake up in the middle of nowhere accompanied by strange, colourful, talking animals. Extremely confused and still pissed off, he squeezed her neck slightly harder before letting her drop to the floor, gasping for air.
Twilight Sparkle? Are her parents six years old or something?
"Twilight!" The other familiar sounding horse shouted to her friend. She quickly galloped over to her...
He shifted his frightening stare over to the familiar horse that he met briefly before. Logan dragged his rage-induced body gradually over to Applejack's. Each step he took forward, she took a small step back until she hit the corner of the barn.
"You... What are you still doing here?" He asked with a raised eyebrow, still maintaining his deadly stare.
"You may be scary and all, but you just hurt mah friend." She responded, managing to not show her fear in her voice. "Ah brought her along a few hours ago to help me... Um... Sort you out."
"Sort me out? I'm not a fucking experiment. At least, not anymore."
"Mr... Um..."
"Wolverine. I told you before."
"Please let us help you. Ah understand you're afraid-"
"Afraid? I'm not a damn pussy, alright? I'm just confused. I don't know how I got here or how I can get back home."
Logan had calmed down slightly, but was obviously still puzzled about the whole situation.
"We can help you find the answers and get you home!" She continued.
"I don't want your fucking help! I can do this on my own. I don't need another freak in my life right now, it was already as weird as heck before all this. Just stop trying to help me before I turn you into tomorrow's breakfast."
"I- Um... Uh... Okay.."
He looks down at himself to see that his clothes were no longer dirty or blood-stained, which in some way is a relief.
They cleaned my clothes? How much time to they frickin' have?H
He saw that all of his wounds and scratches had completely closed up, which was now a BIG relief. Logan looked back at Applejack with slightly less of a stern stare. He was a tiny bit thankful, but didn't want to show it.
"Oh, by the way Applefuck. Tell your friend to toughen up." He snarled, before running at a full sprint out of the barn and into the farm outside.
Applejack sighed in both relief and worry. Twilight, who had now recovered from the vicious death grip Logan had on her, she had gotten up from off the floor and hugged her good friend tightly.
"Are you alright, Twilight?" Asked Applejack.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." She informed her in a miffed tone. "If you see that thing again, stay away from it, I don't want it to hurt you or any other pony."
"Can't we help it?"
"Yes, we can, but he clearly doesn't want us to. I think we need to warn everypony and the Princesses."
"Alright, but let's get you back to the castle first."
They both began to slowly gallop out of the barn and Sweet Apple Acres to head back to Twilights home.
"It seems as though everyday we're just fighting off another monster that could probably kill us all. Maybe this one needs to be helped a bit more than we've ever helped any others." Twilight states.
"How are we gonna do that? As you said, he doesn't want our help."
"This is why we're going to the Princesses."
Logan began to head through the farm and to the exit of it which was directly in front of the barn. The hot blood in his veins stopped pumping so fiercely as he calmed himself, trying not to get too angry, but it was hard. He isn't thinking straight anymore, so much that he is barely thinking at all. His sprint turned to a run, then a jog, then a stroll. He has no idea where he is going, but he doesn't care, all he needs to do is find a way back home, without being pestered by the cartoon ponies he sees everywhere. He needs to do fast if he wanted to get away from this freakishly peaceful place.
What happened? Where are all the humans? Damn... I knew something wasn't right...
His eyes are constantly darting from left right to centre in sight of civilisation outside of the farm he was just in. Eventually, after walking for a few more minutes, his sight reached a small town in the near distance from which he already began heading straight towards. Though, what he will see may not please him at all.
