"Was it a dream or was all real? If so what do I do?" Those are the questions I had as I sat on the floor of the motel surrounded with nothing but darkness of nothingness, thinking of the outcome scenario I need to do once I wake up and see the truth, and in complete honesty some of them although they are annoying and not easy but rather pain to my neck seeing how I prefer to take easy options, but when you go through the same road I went you would understand.

So what if it was all dream and I woke up back in my house? Well, I had two choices: one of them is pure and simple, the other is annoying but maybe necessary like I stated before.

The easy way is simply not taking it fully seriously and tell the story to my friends when we hang out later on at the end of the weekend like we always do, or I just go to my parents and ask them if it's okay to visit a therapist.

So… what if it is real? Well, this is where things got tricky for me.

Seeing I am not much of fan of the show I knew I had two choices:

1) Finding the main characters, trying to ignore their annoying personality and hoping they didn't change and ask them to get me back home.

2) Join into this suicidal tournament and hope I don't die or get mugged… yeah, I felt from the deepest of my heart that will happen but I had no choice seeing the circumstances I was in.

But till I wake up and see the truth I shall wait.

So some of you may be asking "what did discord do to me?" well that's what I wanted to know as well, for the moment I woke up from my deep slumber. Looking all around my body from any sort of mutation, from left to right, and up to down.

Thankfully as far my eye sight told me, there were no changes on me… or so I thought, for when I finished the full inspection on my whole body I realized that I was standing with my four hooves. I Walked! I jumped! I had no trouble with my new body at all, and to make it even more interesting! I knew how to drive a car as a horse.

Clever, Discord didn't want me to use "you are unfair" card on him, but that still didn't fix the problem of finding myself a car. Looking back at the papers which were scattered around the floor thanks to Discord's special gift. I carried all of the paper and put them in the plastic bag which it used to carry the noodles Discord gave to me, till I find myself pants I will have no choice but to carry my belongings with my mouth.

So I had one week to find car, clothes, learn how to drive crazy person style, and then go to the place known as ponyville, how hard could it be?

The answer is kind of in between!?

When I got out of the motel I realized I didn't have any money or anything worth to trade including the noodles… Discord chose a really good kind of sweet noodles, thankfully I didn't need to find myself a job or something like that.

Turns out the driver license not only allowed me to drive a car and announced as a contestant but also it is an open Buffet of everything I want… kind of.

As I look around all kind of stores I learned that, it wasn't joke when I saw there are rules in this twisted game- pun not intended- and this license is one of them.

So pretty much there is two kind of them:

The first which I called it 'premium' is given by the winners from the previous tournament, people with high ranks and royalty, and survivors who got lucky. Where they are allowed all sort of fancy healthy approved meals, solid strong parts for the car they drive for more improvements and good clothes protecting them from any sort of danger.

The second aka 'free' which is the one I have is half the deal the winners get, I am not allowed to go to five stars places so I am only allowed to wear normal clothes with zero protection, eat from restaurants which may result in food poisoning… unless I get sponsored by some car company.

Yeah! Apparently, not only the rules are focused on the contest but also for the business horses who want to use it for their own profit reasons, as long they follow the rules obviously. I didn't expect Discord to do something economical... I guess even the god of chaos need to pay his bills and support his loved subjects.

So the tricky part is here: in order to get a car, I need to find car company where they have to accept and sponsor me.

Pretty much each side get benefit from it: The contestant get car armed with all sort of firepower and best kind of armor and good performance, fix any damages after battle, and fill them with every info they need on the enemy they are fighting against along with the location they are fighting in, in exchange they get customers from all around the world who witnessed their manufactured car's actions, creating more armed cars for the incoming demands comes from it. The business whoever is narrow, since the cars are only allowed for the death race unless Discord gives permission for another usage.

Finding clothes was easy, although they weren't as safe as the ones on the ads around the streets or like some of the other challengers whom I witnessed along the way, they still covered me which it's still a win for me. I walked around the streets with sports clothes: gray stretch comfy pants which it had pockets, thankfully some place for my papers to be placed and relax my hurt almost got numb jaw, and blue hoodie for the cool looks.

The restaurants in Manehattan were surprisingly pretty good, the horses knew how to make delicious cheese burger, except it was hay instead of meat. I had to train myself to survive with this new diet.

Now that I was done with the good easy quests which only took me few hours to finish, I went to the difficult annoying part… finding car company to save my sorry ass.

It was as difficult as I assumed it to be, for after five days of hard search, pain, and agony I turned with empty han- hooves!

Turns out the companies existence wasn't only based solely on business and profit, but also a plan CEO made for the sake of winning the competition, yes some of them are part of this fight, but unlike the other contestants they can sit on the seat of the company and jump in whenever they want… as long there is one of their sponsored fighters still there, of course, they still need to fight them if they want to proceed, but according to some policy, if the CEO lost, the person who defeated him owns the company.

Although the loss is huge the reward is as big as the risk for they got more than one wish, for they show the fans all over Equestria how reliable their products are and how strong and fast their vehicle and how it is better than their competitors.

So what companies I stumbled on? Why they refused me?

Fancypants for your wild fancy wishes: A very respectful company which is respected by many according to the waitress who served me lunch. it's CEO, Mister Fancypants who didn't wear pants at all. He is a unicorn with white fur, blue hair with a small fancy mustache, protruding chest, and an exceptionally large horn, and his tattoos known as cutie mark -but I will call it mark since it sounds girly- were three crowns. He lives in a place called Canterlot, a city built next to a beautiful castle lost its shine, a place where princess Celestia used to live in before Discord's jump in.

I visited one of his company, where I was completely rejected before I could fully be introduced myself to them. Apparently, they only allowed professional people, people who have past experiment with cars. I assumed they saw I had no experience at all is when they saw me walked all the way to the company's long road which I passed an endless line of cars whose drivers looked at me in a provoked way.

Prince Blueblood's royal palace: Funny enough I knew who this horse is, sadly after many attempts to enter other respectful companies this one was the last high ranked company I wanted to go to.

So the CEO of this company who's ads took an entire page in newspapers and some propaganda paper on the walls stating how being in his company is for the better good

… blueblood.

What do I even say about this horse? I mean, when heard this character's name nothing good comes from him and for good reason.

For this unicorn with white fur, blonde hair, and his compass rose mark lies a really hungry for power and an attention whorse.

After the fall of the alicorns, Discords wanted to make sure that anyone related to Celestia won't try anything smart so he jailed every horse he sees in the family tree or something like that.

So What about Blueblood? Apparently, there have been rumors around the streets, some of them are bad, some of them are horrible.

The first rumors I heard is that Blueblood along with some nobles worked with Discord to take down his aunt and get to take her place in exchange for Discord takes over the rest of the lands… only to be backstabbed by Discord.

The other rumor is that Blueblood escaped Discord's grasps, and created this company so he can defeat Discord and bring Equestria back to its glory days.

This is the part I didn't buy, for I met Blueblood personally.

Unlike Fancypants who manage his business in Canterlot the place of royalty and high-class horses, he was here in Manehattan.

So the introduction didn't go well, let's just say I lost it when he spoke. When a fucking horse starts to make fun of you, your fashion, your attempt to become part of 'glorious company,' and making fun of your family… things go personally in extreme level.

I couldn’t lay a fing-hoof on him for the security was there prepared for any attacks, and by the looks of it I wasn't the first, but at least I gave him more original insults for him to hear. The face he made gave me hope to keep going more and more, although I got punched by one of the security guards who were ordered by Blue balls… it was all worth it.

Flim Flam's for your survival needs: From the top high mountain I went to the lowest pit I end, and boy this is one hell of a pit those twins made.

So the Flim Flam brothers, the two unicorns with confusing mark: One who took a small piece of the apple, and the other took the rest and got a fancy mustache.

In complete honesty, I didn't like these two, and it began when I took a tour in that place with them escorting me. They kept talking and talking endlessly in fast paced speech and liked to stop mid-sentence for the other to finish which made me confused and it didn't help the case the place is crap.

Once the tour was over they gave me the option to join their cause... I refused!

I was desperate, but not that desperate!

Those were the most memorial moments in my journey for finding anyone to make me a car, although there were others I could mention something tells me those folks for you boys and girls to know about.

Two days remain for the twisted metal to start and I still didn't get any results from this journey.

I face planted on the table of the restaurant I started to get fond of waiting for my dinner as I cried in rage as the hope flew away from me, none of the companies who were either good or decent accepted me, and my moments with the Flim Flam's showed me not to bother with any company with below decent.

As I ate my meal with dried tears a small hope dropped on the table.

The waitress, Pancake meal a kind chubby married earth horse, orange fur, and brown hair, and pancake with butter and maple syrup on top as her mark is kind mare whom I became friendly with on the third day with my ninth visit every breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

came to me and told me an information which raised my morale a little bit.

Her family, although they didn't have big fancy restaurants they still had connection all over the place and according to her, she knew someone who could help me… someone who could bring me a car.

She told me the story about him, how he used to have company of himself, how this company is aimed to help those in need and create cars at the same time for the sake of blending in with the rest to avoid Discord's wrath, and by the looks of where she told me where he lived I could say he lost everything.

His name is Hay seed truck, a very talented earth pony with unfortunate luck and wasted potential.

Pancake told me that now he lives in the junkyard, the only place where discord threw him along with other as a proper punishment to those who thought it is wise to throw all the generosity the god of chaos gave to them.

The good news the place wasn't pretty far, as soon I finished my meal and thank Pancake I ran toward the place she pointed to.

The junkyard!

I excepted a place where I simply see workers and hay seed among them, another wrong prediction by me.

The place didn't have any machines to destroy the cars, apparently, ponies from different race each fulfilled the certain job.

The Pegasus job was to collect every scrap worth collecting and throw it to the Unicorns, where they start to dismantle the pieces throwing the useless ones to the recycle machine while for the good thrown to the wagon where it's pushed by the earth pony where it's headed to the company they are signed to go to.

Finding Hay seed wasn't that hard for the details gave to me by pancake: beige-colored coat, a two-tone brown mane and tail, brown eyes, and a mark of three turnips.

I used my new name to hide my identity in fear that Discord would appear on me and make me suffer, I told him everything about my journey, how I was rejected by so many of these companies, how almost lost hope and my desire for him to help me win.

I gave him promise that my wish wasn't evil or chaotic of some sort, I just couldn’t tell him for safety reasons.

Long story short he rejected me, he told me how he stopped doing this business anymore, how he used to have beautiful family supporting him to the point he built a company of his own.

I explained to him I knew the story: how his company had more than one job, how he saved lives by building the homes of the innocents who were victims of this insane competition, and how Discord discovered his little charity acts…only to be received a shook his head.

I was right at the beginning and middle, but the end is where I mistook the small truth, Discord wasn't the one who shut his company… it was him.

He didn't deny that what he did was wrong: how he created these cars for some desperate souls to jumps on and drive all the way to the cliff, how he always sent group of workers to go to the destruction where the fight has ended to save those who couldn't escape, how he done the same over and over realizing slowly what his company doing… what he was doing simply repeat itself over and over.

This is where he decided to shut down his company completely, making sure none of his apple family think of taking over his place. He wanted to stop the guilt… he simply wanted to impress her. to show her how he became a man, not a monster!

When he mentioned the apple family I asked him what happened to them? What happened to elements?

He told me the apple family was fine… most of them! The apple family who used to live in Ponyville, the place turned into a battlefield where every year the contest starts in this place. The place Discord fought the mane six and defeated them, the reason why they were defeated is that Discord managed to slip free twice, where he attacked the mane six in a state where they gave up their element to the Everfree forest.

The surprising fact is that the mane six didn't get killed, Discord spared them giving them chance to fight back... in his own game and rules.

After all these years only one of the elements died … a mare by the name of Rarity.

Apparently, she, along with her friends excluding mare by the name of Fluttershy planned to play Discord's game as a team. Everything was going smoothly for them till they reached the level where she lost her life.

The place she fought was a place known as the Crystal kingdom or known as the northern kingdom, a very dangerous place filled all sort of traps place filled with crystals.

The main five were fighting very deadly fighters who weren't ready to give up easily, Rarity drove her car with efficiency and elegance which filled the place with cheers.

Everything was sweet and dandy til a car called lightning strike shot Rarity's left back tire... the fact the place floor she was in was slippy didn't help her situation one bit.

Rarity swung and swung all over the place till she rammed to a wall of destroyed a house… made of crystals. Yeah! the scene wasn't pretty when the sharp side of the crystals pierced through her flesh pulling one of her eyeballs outside her head and the fact this detail was told by hay seed himself made me feel sorry for him, and it's coming from a man who hates ponies.

And what made hay seed's story, even more, sadder is that the car responsible for Rarity's death was built by his company.

He killed his loved one, he killed Rarity!

He broke in tears, kept repeating how it was his fault, and how it should've been him and not her!

It was a sad story, and I wanted to leave him be… but my desire to go back home made me wipe my tears away and tried to use his destroyed state he was in my advantage.

I told him that it wasn't his fault and that he didn't know it was gonna happen.

The speech made him listen but he wasn't convinced… so I played the ace card, I gave him a cause. Vengeance! It was a low blow of me when I used that excuse, but he was my only way to get a car and compete to this fight.

I asked him about the driver, how chaotic he was- where he told me it's a mare aka girl- and if she showed any sign of remorse… turns out she wasn't which made my manipulation even easier.

Speech wasn't my best skills but fortunately for me, hay was too down to the point I played it well if I say so myself… although it kind of took a lot of hours.

Hay seed accepted my deal. Vengeance on the one who killed his loved one in exchange of car and service.

He took me to a faraway garage which it was far enough from any witnesses, Hay seed whispered to me that no one in the junkyard is allowed to make a car so if anyone sees us pull a car out of thin air we will get reported which is something I didn't want it to happen.

We reached our destination, Hay seed told me to wait for him as he went inside to prepare it for me.

After fifteen minutes of walk around in a circle the garage door opened, Hay seed came out with the car where he drove it outside.

It was… rusty piece of scrap, literally it was the car looked like it took from pieces of other cars as sign of desperate attempt to call itself a car. And to make it more ironic it's called Road kill would be my fate if I didn't get improved one .

Hay seed gave me the bad news: this was the only car he had at his disposal, it was gathered and assembled with heart and passion. It may be looked it's about to fall it in its first attempt, but in reality, this car is as deadly as the rest… it just needs some small improvement which can only happen once I win my first round of the fight.

So here I was, I had a car, and I had a mechanic who gave me every info I need.

Now I needed to train myself with to drive like a mad horse and hear everything I needed from hayseed while I drove to Ponyville since it was pretty far from Manehattan, I had to train myself along the road.

Everything was set, I felt ready and prepared to win this fight… till hayseed asked me if I had a partner to navigate and prepare the guns.

I drove toward a battlefield with no navigator gunner, and I didn't have any time to stop to ask for someone to join me in a suicide mission to fulfill my selfish goal.

It was this moment I realized...I was so screwed in that incoming fight
