You ever stop and ask yourself how what WAS supposed to be such a awesome day could go so wrong? Well that was pretty much exactly what I was asking myself about now. I stopped again, looking at the trees and bushes surrounding me to make sure some giant predator wasn’t stalking me. after a quick look and confirming I was still alone, I continued my ascent up the small mountain I had seen in the distance a quite while ago.

But to know why things were wrong, I guess we would have to start my story several hours ago i suppose.

*Several hours earlier*

I was psyched it was finally time! Comic-Con had come, I mean sure it was full of overweight sweaty nerds... Well, I can’t really call them nerds without being hypocritical now can I? and the merchandise cost way more than it should have I MEAN SERIOUSLY LIKE FORTY BUCKS JUST FOR A FUCKING T-SHIRT? JUST WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?!? OH and don’t even get me started on the unbearable heat stroke inducing heat inside one of these costumes. I feel like I could cook eggs in here.

But my moaning and bitching aside, it was MORE than made up for with what I was wearing and the compliments I was getting on it. Oh what was I wearing I hear you ask? Well, I was cosplaying a leader of the zerg a broodmother! The zerg were without a doubt one of my favorite scifi/fantasy races of ALL time! I mean I LOVE any race that mutates and adapts or evolves by eating things or growing from them. Zerg? Xenomorph? Flood? Prototype? I eat that shit up like candy!

Also I don’t mean to brag but my costume was pretty awesome. I had gotten the idea for the costume around seven months ago from a game in starcraft 2’s arcade mode, where you played a broodmother trying to create a fledgling zerg brood while you fought other broodmothers for dominance.

I pitched the idea to my friends and with them all also being zerg players, like any decent human beings, they thought that it was a great idea. They had all agreed to help me with it to make sure it got done on time and so that it was the best it could possibly be. Which brings me to the coolest thing about the costume, it was part animatronic or at least the four other legs were. My friend Dominic had a masters in engineering, he had set it up so my other legs moved when my actual legs moved. It was worth the looks on some people's faces.

But in all that time to prepare, all that time searching for materials we still couldn’t make THEM. I thought letting venom drip into my mental voice as the perfectionist in me frothed with rage.

The one piece missing from my costume, one of the coolest parts of the broodmothers and queens. The insectile dreads on the back of their heads. but my costume had none. They should have been easy, but with all the time devoted on the animatronics in the legs and blowing most of our budget just because this thing was so fucking big! I mean seriously, wearing this thing made me like seven feet tall and six feet wide.

For a hour or two I just continued around the con like this, seething in silent anger. Knowing my costume was unfinished, at least that was until something caught my eye.

Looking over I saw a man dressed like the merchant from resident evil 4 waving over to me, which wasn’t that hard to notice since I was a good two feet taller than everybody else.

I figured I might as well see what he wants and decided to walk over to him. You know looking back on it, I don’t know if I would deck him for sending wherever the fuck i am or deck myself for my own stupidity.

When i finally reached him, he looked up at me for a brief moment. “Hey there pal I can’t help but notice your costume is missing a piece.” Damn, he even had his voice down, that was commitment.

“Yeah so What.” I won’t lie, I let some anger slip into my voice since I didn’t exactly like having the one flaw of my costume pointed out.

“Woah settle down there friend. I think I have something that might interest you.” He then started walking off without another word before turning back and making a follow gesture with his hand, I decided it couldn’t hurt so i followed him.

After a while we came upon a sight that made my jaw drop. His stall was full of perfect replicas from all sorts of anime, games, comics, and movies. He seriously just left all this stuff here unattended, how did none of this stuff get stolen? Cloud’s buster sword, A vial of the blacklight virus from prototype, John-117’s helmet, the nemesis from resident evil's rocket launcher and that was just SOME of the stuff I saw. It was enough to make a true nerd like myself water at the mouth.

And then i saw them there in the center of the table. It almost brought tears to my eyes. It was the insectile dreads my costume lacked, i swear there was god rays shining down on them.

“Ah, i see you found them!” The merchant spoke before looking his next victim up and down. “I’ll tell you what since it looks like you put so much time and effort into your costume, I’ll sell them to you for just fifteen bucks!”

My heart leapt in my chest! fifteen bucks was a small price to pay to complete my costume. Without even asking a single question, I quickly slipped my hand into one of the folds I made in my costume to hold my things. Pulling out my wallet and the money i quickly handed over the cash.

In return, he handed me the dreads and I attached them to the back of my head. They even fit into the holes I made for the ones I tried to make.

Then I heard the merchant chuckling and before i could even face him everything turned to white. Next thing I know is that i’m falling, like.. really fast.

*Several minutes later*

I woke up in a small crater in a small grassy clearing with a splitting headache, but i guess falling a few hundred feet will do that to ya. I Started crawling over the edge of the crater when I realized something was off. my body felt… different. It didn’t feel wrong, but it just felt off.

I lifted up my hand and what greeted me was the two clawed hand of my broodmother costume. Except it was real.

“AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” What came out was even the voice of a brood mother.

Wait calm down you idiot it’s reasons like this people who get lost die! Getting a hold of myself, I calmed down and noticed a small pond nearby. Walking over to it and looking at my reflection pretty much confirmed my suspicions, looking back at me was the face of a broodmother. The only difference between the ones in game and me was instead of my eyes being orange or green was that they were blue.

Then I realized something that made me want to bounce up and down in joy. I’m a zerg I can create my own strands of zerg! I won’t lie, making my own custom zerg had always been a sort of personal dream of mine.

Which lead to a slight two sided war in my head. On one side, you have my “rational” and fearful side running around into walls screaming about how we’re going to die. On the other side of the spectrum, you have the fanboy in me screaming about how awesome it is that i’m broodmother.

Wait focus! Okay I guess I should get a bearing on my surroundings. Looking to my right i could see i small mountain in the distance, probably around a few hours away. *Sigh* I guess it’s better than nothing.

*Present Time*

*Pant* *Pant* Only one thought went across my mind WHY IS THE TOP OF THIS MOUNTAIN SO FUCKING FAAAAARRRR!!!! I had spent probably the last five hours trying to reach the peak of this mountain. I was almost there too, it was in my sight. Eventually, when i almost reached the top I collapsed and crawled the last bit of the trek for dramatic effect.

After creasing the top of the mountain and righting myself I saw a sight that made my jaw drop. It was Twilight Sparkle’s giant fucking eyesore crystal castle, Yeah i'm a brony so sue me! Though looking at it i couldn’t help but think. Are you fucking kidding me!?!?

I mean don't get me wrong, I don't hate the castle. It actually kind of grew on me, but I mean you could see this thing from MILES away, I know because I am.

Honestly? I don't know how long I just stood there on the mountain peak like a slack jawed idiot, but it was honestly all a little overwhelming. "Okay get a hold of yourself John! lets review the facts 1. Your in Equestria. 2. Your a zerg broodmother."

"Well that certainly is something... I guess. Guess this proves the multiverse theory."

I started making my way down the side of the mountain and through the trees towards what I assumed was ponyville.

After about an hours walk, I was almost to the treeline of the sleepy town. Now I know they aren't the most welcoming people. Heck during Bridle Gossip they turned Into full blown superstitious hicks. I'm just hoping all that tolerance and friendship crap actually means something.

As soon as I finished my little Inner rant I cleared the treeline. Looking around the place, It honestly look like a ghost town. As I was about to start moving forward I heard a familiar raspy voice that made my inner brony cringe.

"Hey big monster stop right there!" As soon as I heard that voice I started screaming internally. Because I knew It belonged to the most arrogant and brash person/pony to ever exist, the one and only Rainbow Dash. Looking to my right and a little up I got my first glimpse of her.

Well color me gobsmacked, what I saw actually surprised me. She was a goddamn anthro. From the looks of it she was wearing a from fitting black short sleeved shirt which exposed her midriff along with a pair of ripped blue jeans. Well I honestly was not expecting that. I guess this means that this an alternate reality, or at the very least the pony's are anthro.

It's okay, I can still smooth this over. "Lo..." Before I could even finish what I was going to say, I was hit by a quick blur of cyan fur. I felt a quick buck from what I assumed were Rainbow Dash's back hooves AND LET ME TELL You, It felt like getting hit In the face with a bucket of wet cement. If I had a nose It would definitely be broken.

I managed to get a few words in before she was able to continue her disfigurement of my face. "If I was a monster would I be able to speak!"

Right now she was crouched close to the ground in a runners stance clearly preparing for her next attack. "What Is that suppose to mean something? There are plenty of monsters that can speak, like chimeras. Not to mention you're a monster If I've ever seen one you're like seven hooves tall and look like you could crush a bear!"

"Whi..." Once again she cut me off with a flurry of kicks to the face. At this point I could definitely taste blood even though I didn't have a mouth. "Loo..." "Ple..." "I'm just trying to tal..." every time I managed to get a word out she just pummeled me In the face again and I was at the end of my fuse.

"AAARRGGGGHHHHH!!!" I had finally ran out of patience. I swung my arm at her the next time she made a go for me and got a lucky hit in. When I swung I noticed out of the corner of my eye that there seemed to be lightning following my swing. "Is It possible that I'm psionic?"

Looking at how far she flew I may have swung a bit hard. Oh well she walks off crashes daily i'm sure she'll be fine. Now that I had the opportunity I made my way for the treeline before anyone else showed up.

After clearing the treeline I decided I needed to get things In order. First I needed to avoid the elements of harmony. "Second I need to find some shelter." I mumbled as I continued walking on. The best place Is probably to find a cave In that mountain I was on.

I cast one quick glance back towards the small town. Well this will certainly be... Interesting.

Author's Note

Hey there every one this was my first attempt at ever righting a fan fic if there is something you don't like let me know, but other i just hope you enjoyed reading it.

I know what some of you are asking "why zerg of all things?" well it's simply because i feel there isn't enough stuff on here about them.

Edit: Okay so I've rewritten the end of the chapter now he actually has a reason for wanting to avoid/dislike the pony's.

Another Edit: I've got a editor now yay!
