The following afternoon...

Twilight sat around her enormous table, which held the cutie map, with her five friends to discuss her current situation with them, Applejack obviously already aware of it. It had been a while since anything like this had happened.

"Alright girls, in case you're not aware, we have a bit of a problem." She began. They all look at each other with concerned and confused looks on their faces, hoping that the problem isn't too major. However, solving problems for them tends to be quite fun and it gives them something to do aside from their daily routine.

"I don't expect any of you to be very surprised by this, but there's a very angry monster that is loose in Equestria and we think it's probably already right here in this part of town." Twilight informs them. She was right, no one was too shocked, but they weren't exactly calm about it either. In fact, they were more interested than worried or scared.

"What are we waiting for, let's kick this thing's butt!" Starts Rainbow Dash.

"Slow down, Rainbow.No way am I letting you do that. It is far too dangerous to attack, it possesses weapons that are too much of a risk to be in contact with." Twilight explains to her. Applejack immediately began to wonder about Sweet Apple Acres and her family if it's safe from the strange creature.

Fluttershy quietly squealed, who seemed to be the only pony who was extremely petrified about the situation.

"From what me and AppleJack have seen, this creature is potentially the most dangerous."

"More dangerous than Tirek?" Wondered Pinkie Pie.

"Maybe not that dangerous. But we don't actually know if it always acts as threatening as it was before. I really hope not." Twilight responds, not very reassuringly. The more she thought about it, the more answers she wanted. Is it always that scary? Where did it come from? Who exactly is it?
Another one of the ponies were about to ask a question but was interrupted by the rooms large doors bursting open. Twilight jumped from the shock as her trusty assistant, Spike, entered the room quite hurriedly.

"What is it, Spike?" She asked, mildly peeved about the unnecessary door-slamming. As soon as she asked the question, she instantly gained an idea of what it was. Her expression quickly faded to a more tense, worried look.

"Please come quickly, a group of ponies are at the main door asking for you. They seemed pretty desperate for your help." Spike notifies. Twilight swiftly got out of her seat and head to the castle's main door promptly. All of her friends followed behind her not long after, just in case any extra help is required. She eventually arrived at the door and opened it entirely.

"What's the problem?" She asked inquisitively, basically already knowing what it could be about. They all seem petrified, flustered with fear. It almost looked as if she just witnessed their own death.

"There's a strange, mean looking hairless creature roaming around Ponyville as we speak." Replied one of them, wide-eyed and shaking.
"Oh no, he's here already?!" Twilight gasped. "Is any pony else aware of the creature?"

"Most of town, I'm pretty sure. I think they're staying safe indoors."

Twilight stared anxiously at Ponyville for a brief moment, breathing heavily.

"Alert EVERYpony you come across and tell them to remain indoors." She turned around to see her five friends in front of her, wondering what's going on. If anyone is going to stop the monster, its her and her gang.

"Alright girls," Twilight stated, inhaling deeply, "We've got a job to do."


15 minutes earlier...

Logan approached the small town, examining the houses and markets on the streets to his left and right. The whole place was filled with life and vibrance. The sun was blazing and flowers were blooming, the smell of freshly cut grass lingered in the air. He couldn't help but reveal a faint smile, which is incredibly unusual for a man like Logan. It was just all so... Beautiful. But now he was there, it probably wouldn't last.

He also just wanted to take some time to sit down and simply admire the gorgeous scenery, but there was no time for that. He needs answers to the questions he has been asking himself for the past day or two or however long he has been here.

"Where are all of the people?" He asked himself. There was not a human in sight, which was confusing Logan enormously. He was clearly aware of the sentient technicolour ponies that occupied the area he was in, but he hadn't a clue that humans were non-existent. Logan's throat grew dry and his stomach growled, but he ignored his desperate requirement for food and drink, as his healing factor extends the period of time for which he doesn't need it and it eases the pain a little.
Logan growled at the scared bystanders staring at him as he continued to walk slightly faster towards the centre of the town, where there were more of these ponies. He had to constantly resist the temptation to lunge at one of them. His walk had became more hesitant, but he needed answers and he needed them now, so he had to approach one of them and make conversation; Something he was never very good at.

"Hey, twinkle toes," Logan snarled, "The fuck is this place?"

The pony turned towards him, now realising what was talking to her. She hadn't seemed to notice him at first. The mare's eyes grew to the size of pie plates and her jaw dropped to the floor in fear and surprise. Normally, she would have run away as fast as possible, but she was frozen in place. The frightened mare gave no response other than dead silence.

"Hey, bub, I asked you a question." He snapped, frowning.

"T-This place? This is Ponyville." She finally replied.

Logan wasn't sure what to do. Scream in annoyance or just straight up laugh at the stupid name. He was positive that he was in the brain of a small child, with no clear escape.

"Ponyville, huh? Charles, if this is one of your goddamn pranks, get the fuck out of my head!" He screamed to the sky. Rubbing his hands on his head.

"Um... W-Who?" She asked. Logan answered the question with a dismissive wave of his hand.

So this isn't a dream and this isn't a prank. Fuck.

"Okay, so I'm in Ponyville." He said, accepting the childish name. "What country?"

"E-Equiestria."

Logan scratched his chin as the familiar name rang a bell. He suddenly began to remember when he threatened the purple pony named Twilight and scared her friend Applejack as well. He was just so desperate for answers that he almost killed that innocent being, despite wether or not she was annoying, and scaring the crap out of Applejack was actually just a normal reaction for anyone who meets Logan for the first time.

I think I might have been a bit too harsh on them before...

"Equestria, huh? They never teach us about that in geography."

"Uh... What do you mean?"

"I mean that I've never heard of this frickin' place, and how I ended up here is an even bigger mystery!"

"Wait... Y-You're not from here?"

"Look at me, dipshit. Do I really look like I'm from this hell-hole?"

She shook her head as well as cringing from the horrible name calling. Logan looked up and around the area of town he was in. It was now almost empty. Well, the streets were anyway. There were a few ponies looking down at him, terrified, through the windows.

"W-What... Are you?" She asked, genuinely intrigued.

"I'm a human, mostly anyway. And by the looks of it, there doesn't seem to be any here..." He stated. She nodded.

"And your name?"

"Wolverine. Of course that's not my actual name, but it's all you're getting. What's yours, kid?"

"Rose."

Rose? That's probably the most human name I'm going to ever hear in this place.

"Okay, Rose, answer me this. How come you didn't run away from me like all of your pals did?"

"I-I don't really know. I think maybe it was because I was so scared... And I still kinda am. " She was so terrified at first that she had basically become paralysed, but was somehow unaware of it. "To be honest, you don't seem so scary anymore, I'm not sure why everypony is all so afraid of you."

"Well, I will admit that I'm certainly not the friendliest of people. I can understand why you're scared shitless, it has been like that all my life and I have my reasons why."

"And... What are those reasons?"

"These." Two pairs of long, razor sharp metal claws slowly popped out between his knuckles. Rose stared in horror, but was also quite fascinated. "Wow, you didn't run away. That's a first."

"Oh my goodness, are all of your kind like this?"

"No, which is a very good thing. I'd rather not talk about it."

"That's... Quite a gift."

"Sure, if that's what you think. But I see it more of a curse than a blessing. Anyway, I said I don't want to talk about it."

Logan could see that Rose had calmed down massively from her horrified state. She was now curious about his origin rather than intensely afraid for her life. But it was finally decided that it was time for Logan to get out of this place and continue finding a way home, which considering that he might not even be on Earth, it's going to be beyond difficult to do.

"So long, bub. Tell your friends I won't hurt them if they see me." He told to Rose as he began to walk on through the town. Rose still stood in the same spot, contemplating what she just experienced.
"That was the fuckin' longest normal conversation I've had in very long time. What has this place done to me?" He said to himself. Usually, he would have killed someone by now.


Present time

The mane six were searching the entire town for Logan, not thinking about the fact that he had probably left already. It was quite obvious as the residents had come out from hiding in their homes, discussing what they had seen, a lot of them chatting to Rose. Twilight and her friends trotted over to her, quite curious of Logan's whereabouts since they could not find him.

"Wow, you've attracted quite a bit of attention. What happened?" Twilight wondered.

"Oh, I just had a very unusual conversation with the 'strange creature' every pony is so worried about."

"Wait, what? Oh no! Did he harm you in anyway?"

"No, why? Sure he seems a bit unstable, but why would he try to hurt me?"

"Because he kinda hurt me."

Rose ears flattened slightly in pity for Twilight.

"Hold on, you never told us he hurt you!" Rainbow Dash yelled at Twilight.

"I know, it was nothing really. I'm perfectly fine now anyway. I thought as long as we stop him from harming any pony else, it wouldn't be that much of a big deal." Twilight responded, turning back to Rose. "Where you even scared of him?"

"Of course I was! I was terrified! But after a while, he didn't seem so bad anymore. To be honest, he doesn't even look that scary."

"I beg to differ." Mentions Applejack.
