Wrath of the Pony Gods

Applejack and her older brother were out at Sweet Apple Acres plowing the fields together. The birds were chirping their songs, the squirrels were collecting nuts, everything was so peaceful. That was until a strange sound pierced their ears. It sounded like a massive explosion going off. As they covered their ears and closed their eyes from the pain of the sound, they heard something that sounded like somepony screaming. As they opened their eyes to see where the scream was coming from, they looked up and saw a deep blue stallion fall from the sky and plummet into the ground. The two rushed over to the stallion and gasped at the horrible sight they had seen. The stallion was beaten to a bloody pulp, and he looked like he could leave Equestria at any second. The two exchanged a look and nodded at each other. Big Mac lifted the limp stallion onto his back as Applejack went to find the girls.

Twilight was in her library writing a letter to Celestia when Applejack burst in and made her lose her concentration, the ink spilling all over the parchment. She sighed and said to her friend, "Doesn't anypony knock anymore?" Only to look over to her friend and see the look of dismay on her face. "W-What's wrong Applejack!?"

Applejack said, "I'll explain later sugercube, we gotta get to the hospital! There's a stallion I found at Sweet Apple Acres, he looks like he's barely holdin' on!"

The two rushed out the door, leaving Spike to wonder, "Where's the fire all of a sudden?" Before it came to him that something was definitely wrong, and rushed out the door following them.

When they got to the hospital, their friends were waiting for them in the waiting room. Twilight looked around at her friends who looked like they were all about to cry. "A-Are we..."

Pinkie shook her head slowly saying, "We don't know yet, when we got here, Nurse Redheart said he was in the emergency room, and that we can't see him yet."

Rainbow Dash looked the most upset, she said, "I caught a glimpse of the guy as Big Mac arrived a little after I did... he's in bad shape, slash marks covering his entire body..."

Suddenly Nurse Redheart walked out of the back room and said, "You can see him now if you want. He hasn't woken up yet, the anesthesia hasn't worn off yet. We're lucky to have gotten him when we did. A few more minutes and I don't know if we would have been able to save him..."

The group walked into the room where the deep blue stallion lay, covered in stitches and his hooves wrapped in bandages. They started to notice that he looked a lot like Rainbow Dash, but nopony said anything about it. Next to his bed, there was a sword forged from dragon scales and bag of personal belongings. They sat in silence waiting for the stallion to wake up. Even Pinkie Pie had lost her signature energy at the sight of the battered stallion.

As they heard a moan, they rushed to his side, seeing his eyes slowly open. The first pony he saw was Twilight, and to everypony's surprise, he jumped at her swinging his hooves wildly, tears of frustration streaming down his muzzle. Applejack yelled, "Hold 'im down, he's gonna get himself injured again!"

Rainbow Dash grabbed the stallion from underneath his still swinging hooves and said, "Calm down runt! You're gonna open up those wounds again!" She noticed that the stallion trembled at her words and looked back to her, his eyes widened. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

The stallion looked around and saw where he was. He seemed to have calmed down enough that Rainbow Dash set him down, only for him to tackle her, but this time not the way she expected, he tackled her into a hug crying like a lost filly who just found her mother. She looked confused and looked up to her friends, "I think we might need to have this guy moved to the mental ward..."

The stallion got up off of Dash and said to himself, "I made it..." He looked at Twilight and bowed his head in apology saying, "I'm terribly sorry, I wasn't in a right state of mind. I thought you were somepony else... the pony who did this to me..."

Fluttershy had just brewed a cup of tea and handed it to the stallion saying, "Here, this will calm you down." Even though the stallion had just attacked one of her friends, she seemed genuinely worried about him, classic Fluttershy.

The stallion smiled and said, "Thank you Fluttershy." taking the tea and sipping it. The mare had been so pleased that she didn't even realize she hadn't told him her name.

When she came to the realization she asked, "W-Wait, do I know you?"

The stallion looked up from his tea and chuckled, "Technically, none of you know me yet, but I know you all quite well." He looked to Rainbow Dash and said, "You see... Rainbow Dash there... is my mother..."

All six ponies(and the dragon) yelled out in shock "What!?"

The stallion didn't seem surprised by their reactions and said, "Perhaps I should start from the beginning..." He laid back down on his cot and the group gathered around him to listen intently, Rainbow Dash especially. "I'm not from this timeline. I'm from twenty years in the future... In my world, all of you died in a brutal war that left Equestria shaken to it's very core. Not even the princesses or Discord survived." The groups' eyes widened at the stallion's explanation, but continued to listen to his story. He continued on "One day, a pony who claimed to be Twilight Sparkle declared that she had killed Celestia and Luna. She set out a plan to eradicate all of ponykind, claiming that mortals were the source of Equestria's troubles..."

Twilight seemed shocked that the stallion accused her of such a thing, saying "Why would I ever kill my fellow princesses!?"

The stallion recoiled at her anger, and continued on saying, "The resistance that fought against you started to call you Twilight Black, on account of your pure black mane..."

Rainbow Dash scoffed saying, "Twilight Black, what kind of pony would come up with such a dumb name?"

The stallion chuckled saying, "You would be that pony mother." As he continued his story, the group listened to every little detail, including how he had traveled back twenty years into the past to seek the help of the Mane Six.

Twilight stewed the story over before saying, "Ok, I believe you." The rest of the group stared at her in shock, as if they couldn't believe that a pony as smart as her could believe such a story. Twilight explained, "I admit, I don't fully understand it, but time travel spells are possible. But what I do see is that he's a pony in need of help, and I'm not going to just stand by and refuse to help him."

The rest of the group murmured silently to themselves before nodding. Rainbow Dash looked at her supposed son and asked him, "Just to be safe, if you're really my son, what's the name I always wanted to give to a colt if I had one?"

The stallion smiled and said, "Rainbow Blast. The same you gave me five years from now."

Rainbow Dash nodded saying, "He's my colt alright if that's his name."
