Log #1 Before I went to this new world. (Edited)
POV John's mind "So bored... I hate being stuck in stone... Max you listening?" I asked Max. We've been here for about 1000 years but at least I had someone that listens to me.
"Give it a rest already. I'm try to listen to my music. Talk to discord if you want someone to talk to." My friend said to me.
"Screw you max I wish I could listen to my music but no it got destroyed in that damn explosion and discord got out not to long ago." I sighed as I remembered that my second 'friend' abandon us in stone while he plays the good guy with his new pony buddy's in ponyville.
"Uh... When did that happen?" He said in confusion about discords release. "I didn't notice him leave."
"Not to long ago I believe." Sighing for the hundredth time today. "Still can't believe fluttershy reformed him."
"Well I can fluttershy is adorable but it was more than just her being adorable that reformed him." He said to me recalling how the episode went.
"Well I didn't really like it but oh well." I told him.
"At least I'm not the one that has Queen Chrysalis licking my cheek when she visits our stone prison for the last 1005 years." I could already 'see' him gaining trying not to laugh.
"Screws you too... and we have company." I said at our new company that just arrived and look at that its the Queen, great.
She sits right in front of statue and stared at me. "My lover I come by today to say I have plans to release you and your companion but I don't want to ally my self with Equestria." she sighs "But I will for you and because the elements are back at the tree so they can't use it and at least Celestia believes that you can be reform to good which I can't wait for." She sighs then licks my cheek one more time and then leaves.
"That's good we going to be free or at least for me because you just got ship with queen chrysalis, man sucks to be you well unless you like her but last time I checked you didn't." Max laughed me.
"Oh screw off. God how did we even get here." I said in a whisper.
Max just laughed probably sue to being stuck here for so long. "Well let me tell you the story."
1005 years ago
Pov Max.
So John and me were in the helicopter while the general was talking to the pilots but I couldn't hear anything they were saying. A few minutes passed when the general turned around to look at us he started walking then stop be the side door of the helicopter.
"We got info that there are terrorist around here keep your eyes sharp privates." The general said not sparing us a glance. I looked at John and thought ' How the hell is he asleep.'
I looked worried hoping we didn't have to fight anybody at least not yet. I've fired guns before and I was a pretty good shot, thankfully I brought along my weapons such as a glock 43 pistol, DSR-1 sniper, FAMAE SAF sub machine gun, and I also used swords and knifes. My friend John uses a M1911 with a hollow point, a Drakon with a silencer, and a Rambo knife that had rainbow dash on it.
Johns appearance well he was about 7'2 his right blood red that was usually covered up by eye patch and his left eye was dark blue. he has white hair little past his shoulders he didn't have the most muscle to be honest he didn't need it because he is more of a steal specialist so he looks more on the feminine side but don't tell him that. he usually wore black jeans a plain white shirt with a black leather jacket.
My appearance well I'm about 6'7 with purple eyes. My hair color is black hair that had one side shaved with most of my hair to the my left side covering my left eye which is completely white because i'm blind in that eye so my hair covers it unless I had kakashis head band around it. I currently had on black combat boots with cargo pants. I'm also wearing a grey shirt with a purple crown where my heart is with a thick trench coat
I heard a low groan followed by. "Where the hell am I." It was John waking from is nap.
"Welcome to the land of the living" I said looking at him then a large *boom* made it's why to our ears.
"Spoke to soon Max." John said as a missile flew threw the door and out the other barely missing us and John didn't even flinch. I was about to say something until another missile hit the tail of the helicopter. We started spiraling down to the ground when a large mist took a hold of my sight. Then there was this thriving pain all through out my body I tried to scream but nothing came out. It felt like my whole body was tearing apart then rearranging itself after what felt like an entirety I passed out.
POV John
I awoke with pain threw out my body I didn't have enough energy to move so instead of trying to get up I lied there useless. "God, I hate feeling useless." I muttered to myself. I looked at my surroundings just barely being able to. I saw this big... Rock? I think I don't know so I looked at it with further inspection. 'Are there holes opening and closing am..am i high?' I thought still utterly confused how that's possible when two figures I couldn't really make out but they were coming towards me and fast.
The two figures look like... changelings? They looked down upon me and looked at each other every so often till the one on the left spoke "He looks like a possible mate for our queen chrysalis, what do you think?" He? She? it.. it said I looked in horror at what it said.
"Are you sure it's a guy?" the one on the right said
"Let's find out." It spoke to the one on the right. It started to reach to my pants. Has it was about to reach the button I thought 'Fuck the pain i'm out' I then smacked it's hand away and sprinted into the forest that was behind me. I didn't bother looking back till I thought I was safe and let me tell that was a BAD idea I looked behind be and saw about 100 changelings. This simply made me run faster to the forest. 'Why do they think I'm a good mate!?'I screamed in my head.
Pov Max
I just woke up my body was in some pain but I still managed to get myself up. I propped myself up with my back against a tree trying my best not to strain myself. "Were am I." I muttered to myself barley above a whisper because my throat was so dry. When I gathered my senses I took a look around to see I was now in a forest. Clumsily but surly got up to stand on my feet I made my way in random direction.
A few minutes past when I faintly heard of something yelling then footsteps grew louder and so did the yelling. I stopped in my tracks and turned around to see John running towards me he came close and stop right by me. "Dude, you OK it looks like you've just ran a marathon ." I said looking at him with a worried expression.
"Bugs.. Rape... Run..." he gasped out clearly out of breath before looking behind him and sprinting forward.
"What are you talking..." I looked behind me to see a 100 or so.. changelings it looked like it but anthro I turned and pretty much flew to him "Right behind you!" I yelled close behind him
After what felt like hours of running we saw what looked like a building.. No a castle more like it. We were by the castle in no time I saw what looked like a garden that had two people.. Ponies but again anthro? In it John and me ran too the ponies hopping they would help but when they saw use the took a fighting stances well one did she had a multicolored flowing mane. The other one stood there looking at John and me in shock and awe.
"What are you and what is your business here?" The pink haired one said. We stop in our tracks looking at them it was like this for a few minutes before she got angry and said it again but louder. John was the first to recover and said.
"We are humans I'll talk about that later but we were running away from these bug like people before we reached here." he spoke in his monotone voice.
"You mean changelings." She said looking at us about ready to attack I simply nodded . "You brought them to Equestria on purpose didn't you. You will not leave here villains." I tried to say something till she silenced me by yelling as Celestia and Luna flew into the air. Then a double helix rainbow hit as faster than we could blink.
I couldn't move, speak, or anything of the sort but I could still see and hear. I saw that I was encased in stone along with John. 'This is going to be one hell of a journey.' I thought.
'indeed' John said in.. my.. mind?

Log #2 Nope, I'm out (Edited)
Max's POV
"So how is you and Chrysalis." I asked my friend to annoy him.
"Oh piss off dude." He said with venom in every word but before I could say anything I felt my statue get lifted up. I tried to look to see what was happening but i couldn't look behind me. John was also floated into the air.
"Hey John, what's happening man." I asked a little worried about what's going on.
"Don't know but keep quite and let's see what happens." John told me trying to figure out what's going on himself. As we got carried through the gardens the guards barley talk but when they did it was mainly about what we were or some rumors going around the castle. We approached the big double doors the 2 guards that was lifting my friend and I had to stop to talk to the other guards and ask them to open the doors. It took a little bit but they got them to open the doors for us. We walked.. well floated to the throne room that's what i'm guessing at least.
We've been sitting in the throne room for about 10 minutes listening to these stupid nobles talk about the stupidest things ranging from someone getting dirt on their new suit to someone stepping on their hoofs? A few minutes passed till John spoke up.
"Do these idiots ever shut up." John said with a hit of annoyance in his voice.
"Trust me most of these stuck up snobs will not shut up but there can be a few good ones out there." I said which John just made a noise that sounded of disbelief. I didn't say anything because the ponies were now leaving the area we were in. After the last of them were gone Celestia spoke.
"Are you sure about this I mean we don't know what will happen if we let them go. We know nothing about them or there nature." Celestia said uneasiness laced in her voice.
"Chrysalis said that she would make a peace treaty with us if we do this. She would be a great companion if she were to join our forces." Luna spoke in the old English still. Celestia just sighed and called for six ponies awaiting outside to come in. As they entered they all had different expressions on their faces Twilight looked like she wanted to ask a lot of questions but barely holding back her questions so she could her what the princess had to say. Spike looked like he just wanted to go back home and sleep. Rainbow dash looked like she wanted a fight. Rarity was looking around probably thinking of new designs for her dresses and suits. Fluttershy was hiding behind Applejack also wanting to go home. Applejack just stared waiting to see what the princesses had to say. Pinkie was.. being pinkie.
"We have gathered you six here today to.." Celestia was saying till pinkie interrupted
"Somepony died." Pinkie looks at the statue confused to rather the died or not.
Celestia sighs "No Pinkie there not dead, there cased in stone waiting to be reformed by you and your friends."
Twilight was the first to speak "So we are going to reform them like Discord and the others?"
I tuned them out so I could ask John something. "So what do you think about this?"
"I think it's funny that they think we are evil." He said with a chuckle. I was about to respond till I got blinded by a bright light I looked to the light to see a rainbow beam flying at me. There was this weird feeling and when I looked around I was in mid-air then I started to fall fast my left arm hit the side of the statue pedestal. Then their was immense pain flowing through my left arm.
"Bloody hell my arm!" I yelled looking at my now dislocated arm. I looked over at John to see if he could help with my arm since i wasn't getting up from the pedestal. "John come help me my arm is dislocated." I yelled over to him.
"Hell no I got my own problems to deal with." He said not looking over at me.
"Like what?" I asked still wincing in pain about my arm.
"Like not being stoned." He said.
"Fine i'll fix it myself." I muttered to myself and put my arm on the pedestal I put my free and on my left shoulder gripping it hard and pulling it back into place. With a sigh of relief and a sickening crack that made the ponies cringe.
"Man 1,005 years of being in stone really makes your muscles stiff." John said while stretching
"You're right about that, we didn't even do anything wrong we just ran into them and made us into stone first day here in this world and were seen as a threat." I continued to ranted and yell about the things that happened. Twilight that i was yelling at her and was on the brink of tears which I didn't notice.
"W-why are you yelling at me?" Twilight said about ready to break down.
"I'm not yelling at you i'm yelling at myself and Celestia for being to fucking dense to understand that John and I was running for our life. But no...... I couldn't explain myself to her you know what fuck this i'm out." i yelled and walked to the nearest window and looked to see we were not the high up and the river below shouldn't kill me.. probably. I backed up and then went into a sprint and jumped through the window.
As I was falling I realized it was father down then expected so I positioned myself so I wouldn't come out most likely unscathed.
Johns Pov
I watched my friend max jumps out of the window. "Well that happen." I looked at the ponies. "Um.. I guess I'll take the same way out." I said as I ran and jumped out of the window hoping Max knew what the hell he was doing.

Log #3 The mystery in the everfree (Edited)
Max Pov.
My eye lids wearily open to the sun setting. I looked around to see where I was it looked a forest. My hand felt wet when I turned too look and saw a river. 'Must have washed up here in the forest after jumping.' I thought while lifting my body up to see farther. I decided to follow along the river bank and make sure anything that would be ruined by the water was safe.
1 Hour later
It's been about an hour now since I awoke. As I was making my way along the bank line I saw a small hill with what looked like houses passed the hill. Right as I got out of the tree line I spotted three ponies before i could see who they were I heard what they said. "A monster, a monster. The horror, the horror." The three ponies yelled in unison falling to the ground.
"Oh hell no not those ponies." I said I turned to go back into the everfree then I heard somebody behind me.
"Stop right there evil fiend I Rainbow Dash will defeat you." Skittles (rainbow dash) said still boasting about this and that.
"Hey Skittles sorry to burst your bubble but I got more important things to do." I interrupted.
"What did you call me?!" She yelled I ignored her and went back into the everfree as I walking she sped after me using her wings to gain speed. As I walked I dropped to the ground when I looked up I saw Rainbow Dash going head first into a tree probably leaving her with a concussion and preceded to fall into the now (somehow) raging water. I got up but when I did I noticed she wasn't coming back up but when she did she was having trouble keeping herself above water.
Without a second thought I jumped in after her trying to get a hold of her but she kept squirming. After a few seconds I finally grabbed her and swam for the ledge. I threw her over onto land and laid her on her back I checked to see if she was breathing, fortunately, she was but slowly. I went through all of the steps of CPR it took a bit but after I finally pulled up from the mouth-to-mouth step when she coughed up some water.
"Hey, are you ok." I said with concern. Then I felt a rope go around my waist and arms.
"Let go of her you varmint." Said Applejack while she tied me to a tree.
"Seriously." I deadpanned. The farmer ignored me while going over to her friend who was righting herself into a standing position. I tuned them out because of there auguring of me being good or not.
{They don't appreciate you, why don't kill them}
"Great i'm going crazy."
{You were crazy before I got here}
"Touche but who are you and why are you in my head."
{Talk in your head and not out loud, so the ponies are not looking at you like you're an idiot.}
I gave the two ponies a sheepish smile.
"Fine Rainbow but we take him to Twilights first." Applejack said I tried to get what Rainbow said then my hearing and vision was going out. I looked down and noticed some of my wound had opened. The ponies looked at me worriedly I think before I passed out I said one last thing.
"I hate hospitals."
John's Pov.
The first thing I felt when coming to is that i felt pain and a lot of poking.
"To sleep out here is most unwise, come with me so you can unwind." Someone said rhyming words together.
I opened my eyes and saw that it was.. Zecora? "Uh... Sorry what did you say?"
Zecora looked at me with a small frown but soon smiled. "Follow me to my abode there you can unload."
Thinking for a second I responded. "I would love to but I need to find my friend. He shouldn't be to far... Hopefully." I said already feeling tired.
"Then let's go to town surely then you won't frown." Zecora told me. 'What does frowning have to do with anything?' I thought to myself.
"Alright let's go lead the way I'll be right behind you." I said standing up and following after the zebra. "So... What's your name?" I asked playing it off like I didn't know.
"Forgive me my names Zecora what about you I've never seen you in for as long as I've been here." She said keeping her eyes forward.
"Names John and I'm a human or homo-sapiens if you want to get technical." I replied outing my hands in my pockets.
"I see well then where to you hail from on Equis?" Zecora questioned
"I don't I'm from a different universe I believe." I yawned as she stopped and looked at me.
"What?" She asked.
'Here we go time fore a game a twenty questions.' I mentally sighed. "Okay well I'm from a different planet. So I guess I'm considered an alien but that sounds cliche. So you as me a question I'll try my best to answer." We walked near a tree looking house with tribal masks here and there.
"We will continue inside beside outside is not wise." Zecora told me as we walked inside and gestured for me to sit down.
"All right let's begin." I told her with a yawn.

Log #5 Fights and forgetfulness. (Edited)
Max POV
"Yo, Max!" I turned and saw John walking over to us as someone walked back into the forest.
"Hey there you are we were about to go and find you seems like you made it out okay." I said as he stopped close to me.
"Yeah I got some help from a zebra named Zecora." He said as some nodded. Before anyone said anything else spike walked over to twilight and gave her a letter.
"Hey twilight princess Celestia sent you a letter." Spike said and without another word twilight grabbed the letter with her magic she the proceeded to read it out loud.
"Dear Twilight Sparkle,
Have you located the two creature that jumped off of canterlot.
Your former mentor,
Princess Celestia."
After she finished reading the letter out loud. She quickly wrote a response a sent it away via dragon fire.
"I'm sorry." John said
"For what?" twilight said with curiosity.
"You'll find out if you try to contain us." I finished Johns threat while fixing my head band that was around my eye. I circle them so John was on one side and I was one the other but they all seemed focused on me. Well except Spike, Fluttershy, and John of course just sat down and watched it all fold out.
As I was dodging there attacks and taunting them I notice that they don't fight together they always got in each other ways and never used their strength to their advantage. So I started to lecture them about it.
"Rainbow Dash you attack blinding you think only with your speed circle me and try to find a weakness don't just attack because you think your speed will win." I said while grabbing Rainbows' right wrist and right leg to propel her into AppleJack who was about to kick my jaw. "Applejack you have strength on your side, yes, but you lack skill and patience try to use more than your kicks. You need to focus on where you want to hit and what your next move will be before you do your first move." I proceeded to dodge random projectiles coming from Rarity. "Rarity think about cornering me so you can help AppleJack and Rainbow get hits on me don't just throw to hit me, throw to confuse or throw me off." I commented while trying not to get hit by arcane bolts from Twilight. "Lastly Twilight You have the skill but you lack--" I was cut off by a hit to my left leg. "Agh... Good Job Rainbow you used my blind side to get an advantage." I praised Dash but quickly maneuvered behind her and kick off of her back so she would mess up Twilights' spell. "As I was saying you have no strategy you may have plans to what you think will work but you don't think of what will happen if it should fail." I finished because fluttershy wasn't in the fight and pinkie was freaking out because she couldn't find her party cannon so she didn't participate.
A few minutes went by and they were all on the ground worn out of the battle that just commenced. I just stood there putting my jacket on.
"So can we go to Canterlot now or do you want to go for round 2." I said with a bored tone.
"Wait, so you were going to come with us anyways?" Twilight said trying to catch breathe.
"Well I don't want to go to Canterlot but I also don't want to piss off a sun goddess or at least not yet." I said while walking to were I hoped was the train station was. We got onto the train and waited for it to take off after a while it started to move towards Canterlot. When we got close enough to see the train station the twilight started to freak out.
"We forgot Johnie our haste!" She screamed.
I laughed at what she called John "Took you long enough." I said walking off the train onto the train station.
Johns' POV -- Half hour early.
Max did a half circle around them and they all focused on him. I turn towards Spike. "So what are we going to do now.”
Spike look at me and smiles. “Well we can go to the library/home so lets go.” As we start to walk we were interrupted by Fluttershy.
“You guys can go I need to check on my animals, if that alright with you.” She said in a quite like voice.
Spike walked up to her. “Sure Fluttershy. I'll take it from here.” As we departed to the library I wanted to know something that Spike has the answer for at least i hope he does.
“So Spike can I stay at the library for a bit till they get back.” As i see the library coming up.
“Sure you can take the guest bedroom.” Spike nod to me. Then spike burped out a scroll and looked at it. “Well you are going to have to stay now. Twilight and the others are going to Canterlot. She said I have to keep a eye on you." As we head inside and Spike showed me where the guestroom is as we enter the room spike spoke up.
“Well there you are let me know if you need anything at all.” As he shut the door and went down stairs.
“Hmm... Today was eventful” as i look around it look like a normal bedroom, so i laid down on the bed and look at the ceiling for couple hours to pass the time.

Log #6 Getting in fights and meeting Celestia. (Edited)
Max pov
The mane six and I was walking through Canterlot. They were having a friendly conversation well except Twilight she was saying something about "magic kindergarden" I just followed behind them as they lead my to the castle. Then it spoke again metaphorically that is.
"Why are you following these 'ponies' there princess is just going to throw you in a dungeon." It told me
'It's either we follow them or get hunted down and by the way what's your name I don't want to call you an it' I said in my head.
"Have it your way but if things get out of hand I'll take control of you and for my name it is Saber." Saber told me saying the first part fast.
'Nice to meet you Saber...Wait did you say take control over me?!?!' I screamed in my head. A minute passed then two I got no answer. I started to say something else till Rainbow snapped me back to reality.
"Come on slowpoke we're almost their." She said pointing at the others far ahead of us.
"Challenge excepted." I said taking a running stance. "But you can't use your wings." She didn't say anything and got into a running stance.
"Three... Two... One... Go." I yelled as Rainbow and I sprinted towards the others. Thanks to being on the track and soccer team i'm a very fast runner. We dodged ponies left and right now Rainbow was quick on dodging due to her agility but since she was used to flying I had the upper hand. So I was a decently far way that's when I heard it. Wings. I heard it getting closer I looked back to Rainbow gaining on my with her wings but she stayed on the ground so it looked like she was running. Then a planed formed in my head.
She drew closer when just has she was about to pass me I tripped her but before she could hit the ground I picked her up bridle style. Without a second thought I started to walk to the others since we were quite close. She didn't argue that I was holding her this way. She blushed and looked forward to make sure none of her friends were looking.
"You know cheating isn't a good way to win something and would you like me to put you down." I told her. She looked me and said.
"I'm sorry for cheating I just wanted you too be impressed by what I can do and yeah I don't want any of my friends to find out i'm being carried like this." I nodded and put her down. Rainbow caught up to them and Applejack had finally calmed down Twilight. They entered the big double doors I was about to enter too till two spears stopped me.
"Halt! Why are you here you peasant." The guard on the right said with disgust probably because I didn't look like any of the other ponies. The main six didn't notice and kept walking.
"I'm here to see Celestia, so if you could kindly move your toothpicks away that would be great." I told the duo.
"That's Princess Celestia you." Guard on the left said with venom in his voice.
"Listen I'm going to go and forget that this ever happened." I moved there spears and made my way down the corridor much to their displeasure. They started to run after me which in turn caused me to run i'd rather not get poked today even though their stance is one of a noob. I could barely see the six ponies I came here with turn a corner. I made haste to them with the guards close enough to keep me in their sights. When I turned the corner I saw the group by a large door looking around trying to find me. With a wave of my hand they caught me in there sights and the guards which were behind me. The six looked at me confused except Rainbow who looked ready for a fight and Pinkie well... She's pinkie.
I stop next to them and turned around I was about to say something but I saw one of them throw their spear but his throw was off and was making it's way to Rainbow who didn't have much time to react unlike me. I darted too the left in front of her to make sure it wouldn't cause any harm to the mare. Unfortunately for me the spearhead made its way into my left arm thankfully they were far enough to were it didn't go in very far. Some people would have screamed if they got hit in the arm with a spear but my pain tolerance is really high. They girls gasped and stood there shocked.
"I tried to be reasonable and say I'd forget about it but you almost hurt my friend." I said with venom coating every word I spoke. The guards got into what I think was a fighting stance and told me too surrender I ripped out the spear and broke the spearhead off it to make a staff.
"That's it." Rainbow said about reading to charge.
"Please stay back I don't want any of you hurt." I said with a smile they all looked at me shocked that I wasn't on the ground due to my hurt arm. I took off my head band and tied it around my arm tightly then walking over to the guards with my newly formed staff. "You're going to have a BAD time." I said with as much darkness in my voice as possible but on the inside I was happy that I finally got to say that line. The guards looked uneasy but stood there ground.
To make this less confusing there is guard number one and two. Guard #2 the one who threw the spear charged me blindly I stepped to the right and used my staff to hit him in the back of the head which in turn made him loose balance hit face plant into the ground. Guard #1 got closer spear at the ready as guard 2 got back up he walked closer as well ,unfortunately, for them they didn't see each other.
Just as guard 1 swung his spear towards me the other guard was throwing a punch at me in the same direction. As they drew closer I swung my body backwards to do a back handspring as I was doing this the flat head of the spear hit the 2 guard rendering him unconscious but at the same time guard 2 hit guard 1 in the head making him fall to the floor. The ground drew closer so I used my hands to pro pale me up right landing on my feet.
"Now that that's done." I turned to the others. "Let's meet Celestia." They all got out of there stupor.
"Princess Celestia." Twilight corrected and moved to the door which I guessed lead to the throne room. Before the could open the door I reached there first and opened it up for them to enter.
"What a gentlecolt." Rarity said as they all went in the door. I went in last and shut the door behind us.
"Twilight." Said Celestia from her throne. We walked up to her throne and they all bowed except me which made one of the guards behind us mad.
"You will kneel in front of the princess." He said taking the end of his spear and hitting my leg were it bends. I fell to a knee and spun around grabbing the guards legs making him fall backwards onto the ground I used the momentum of my spin to bring my self to my feet and stand up straight again.
"Who ever trained these guards needs to actually teach them and teach them manners." I said dusting myself off and moved my hair so it covered my left eye and some of my cheek.
"Guards bring Steel hooves to his barracks I wish to speak to him after this." She told some of the guards in the room which they did with a quick it will be done. your highness. "I'm sorry about him I don't know what came over him." She said apologetically.
"It's cool, but there are two guards outside knocked out might want to pick them up too." I said taking off my headband that's tied around my arm.
"Explain to me why there knocked out but first." Celestia said walking down too me and healed my arm and cleaned my headband. "Okay, now explain to me way there are two guards outside unconscious."
"Okay, but give me a second and the name's Max by the way." I turned around to see no one behind me. I moved my hair so I could be on my headband to put on over my left eye after it was fully tightened I turned back around and gave them the explanation.
-One vivid explanation later-
"I see." Celestia turned to a guard that was next to her. "Go get Gleaming Shield."
"Yes, your highness." The guard said and jogged off to go get this Gleaming pers... pony.
"Well Max, do you wish to press charges?" Celestia asked me.
I turned to the six "Any of you hurt?" I asked them. They all shook their heads no. "Okay good, since there alright then no I don't want to press any charges." I said looking back at Celestia.
"Oh? And why not?" Celestia asked out of curiosity.
"None of them are hurt. So no if they are good then so am I" I said.
"Very well." The goddess said. I was about to speak up when I heard a door slamming open and a very annoying voice.
"Auntie!" Prince blueblood yelled Celestia sighed and put on a smile. "This maid put my suits and pants in the same dresser when I've said not to she is unfit for her job. I demand that she is fired." I turned around to see a sight that made my blood run cold. Prince blueblood holding a poor mare by her mane.
Celestia was about to say something till I started walking over to him and as calming as possible said "Let go of her."
"You have no right to talk to me peasant." He scoffed still holding onto the mare by her man.
"You brought this on yourself." I said an put a hand on his shoulder and arm. With one swift movement I dislocated his arm. He screamed dropping to his knees and holding his shoulder. I looked down at the frighted mare "Are you ok Miss?" I asked holding out my hand to help her up which she gladly took and got up when she did she hugged me.
"Thank you." She whispered and pushed herself off me. Celestia nodded for her to leave which the maid did I walked over to blueblood and put his shoulder back in place once I did he ran over to the princess.
"Auntie why didn't you do anything to help me it could have killed me. I demand his head for what his as down!" He yelled Celestia told him to go to his room and that they will talk later. He huffed and walked glaring at and mouthed something I only saw he said 'I will beat you at the Galla in front of everypony.' Is what he mouthed.
"I am sorry that you had to meet blueblood without any warning but did you have to dislocate his arms?" She asked me.
"Nah but it was fun plus just be happy I didn't do anything worse, oh and what's the Galla?" I asked confused at what it's about.
"Well I will have a talk with him about what happened but it probably won't get through to him and it's called The Grand Galloping Galla it's a ball where the nobles with gather, dance and talk about anything of interest to them." She explained
"Okay, so count me out." I said not wanting to be around snobs.
"But you must go darling I can even make you your tux." Rarity said thinking about different designs to make for me.
"Plus your a new species even though you do look like us... Kinda... So you will have to attend so the nobles of Canterlot will be briefed on you and the guards as well." Twilight added I sighed in defeat. That's when Celestia remembered something.
"Say, where is the other one like Max here there was two of them?" Celestia asked looking around. I started too laugh Celestia looked confused then Twilight spoke.
"About that there's two problems." She said looking at the floor. "We forgot him and spike on accident."
"Then I will write a letter to spike to catch the next train ride here." Celestia asked.
There was a knocking at the throne room door and a quick come in from Celestia the doors open showing who I suspected to be Gleaming Shield.
"You called your highness." She said with a bow.
"Yes, I would like for you to show me and my guest here to your training regiment to look over and see how the training is going." She said while pointing a finger at me.
"If you don't mind my asking, why?" She asked confused at the sudden interest in the army but held disgust when she looked at me.
"Well, it has come to my attention that three of your guards attack Max here. One I saw personally and none of them stood a chance so I would like to put them through a test. So if you could lead us there." She said. When I looked over at Gleaming she looked mad I don't know if it was because her guards attacked me or that they lost.
"Right away princess, follow me." She said walking over too the door.
"Now, you six Luna should be in the dinning room in about 10 or so minutes for her breakfest ask her where you all will be staying at while you are her. Max let's not keep Gleaming waiting let's go." Without another word the princess and me was walking over to Gleaming who was patiently waiting for us to get over to her while the six other ponies were going the opposite direction to what I suppose is the dinning room was. We started walking down the hall well let's see how good their military really is.

Two Privates in Equestria
Log #7 The Royal Guards. (Edited)
We walked down the corridor in silence besides the sound of hooves hitting the smooth surface floor. Celestia looked back at me occasionally but I'd just look around everytime she did.
'How strong do you think there 'guard' is?' Saber asked me
'Well I hope there at least decent but after what I saw I don't know.' I finished my thought just as we walked through two big double doors that led to I'd have to say an old Roman coliseum.
Closing the door behind us I saw where the door to the barracks was. A rack with different weapons, Shields, and armor. There was training dummies for archery and swords. Various weights and punching bags littered out here and there.
"Here are the training grounds." Gleaming said with a hint of pride.
"Question? Who here is the strongest. " I asked looking around not seeing many people actually doing something. Hell they haven't even noticed Celestia yet.
"Well out of everypony, I'd say me." Gleaming said without looking at me. Taking the moment I snuck up behind her without making a sound. I went up right next to her ear and spoke.
"Really?" I said making her jump forward turning around into a fighting stance. "Slow reaction should have heard me walking up next to you." I barely heard it but I did I heard Celestia giggle.
Gleaming didn't take that lightly and rushed me. Just by seeing her do this I could tell she was way better than the other guards. As she drew closer I did a front flip over her and with the momentum I drove the back of my foot into her head making her go head first into the ground. Walking over to where she landed I offered her a hand to help her up she accepted but gave me a nasty glare.
"Welp, that was interesting." I said looking to Celestia. She only nodded with a small smirk and walked away with Gleaming talking about something.
Walking over to a punching bag I took out a set of cloves that I keep in my pockets and put them on. They look like UFC gloves and comes in handy from time to time. Taking a fighting stance I did simple jabs and kicks. A few minutes rolled by when I decided to listen to some music and train. Pulling out my phone that's somehow still at work 100% I scrolled till I found something that moved me to fight.
https://m .
Instead of hitting the punching bag more I decided to do push ups. After a minute I started to do sit ups every time I went up I saw more people or ponies and what I can only guess hushed whisper they probably don't know that I can here them. I finished my warm ups I was going to continue but I saw someone coming closer to me so I turned around and was greeted by a fist almost hit me but my reflexes kicked in moving me out of the way and grabbing her fist.
"Hi?" I said.
"What's your play?" Gleaming mumbled. "Fast reflexes. I thought I'd test your reflexes since you 'tested' mine. Anyway a servant will be here shortly to take you too your room." With that she walked away leaving me confused. Sighing I walked over to the double doors right as they opened and revealed a Pegasus maid.
"A-are you Max?" She asked my shrinking under my gaze.
"Yes I am madam and might I inquire your name?" I said with a sweet smile. She seemed to brighten up a bit seeing as how I look but don't act mean.
"M-my name is Rosemary, sir." She Replied with a small smile.
"Well Miss. Rosemary lead the way. " She nodded and walked off me in tow. With walked in silence but it didn't last long as we had it to the guest room.
"If you need anything ask a guard or one of the staff here. I'll be here tomorrow to get you up for breakfast." She said but before she walked off I replied.
"Good luck I'm a heavy sleeper." I said with a short laugh and walked in. Upon walking in I saw a desk to the right with paper and pencils to the left a door which I suppose leads to the bathroom and a King's size bed at the back of the room beside said bed there was two big windows that lead to the balcony.
Making my way to the bathroom I stripped to only my boxers and filled up the bath (the bath was huge) I walked to the mirror taking off my headband to see my left eye to blood red then to black as half of my face in the mirror turned into a Black Mass with half a white creepy smile and white eye looking at me. I closed my eyes at started to regulate my breath opening my eyes I saw my dark purple eye star back at me and my white eye doing the same. With a sigh I got into the tub to wash myself. 'Fuck why now.' I sighed once more.
After getting finished in the tub I put my clothes on the dresser by the bed and but my boxers on. Sliding under the covers I stared at the ceiling for what felt like forever till I heard a manics laugh in my head shaking my head riding it of that laugh I closed my eyes drifting into unconsciousness.

Sorry about this being a short chapter but hope I did well. Writers block is crazy but I have some news I don't think Johns POV will be shown anymore he will still be in off course but it will not switch unless I think the plot needs it.
