The True Side of The Human World
The Day He Went Back To Equestria
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIt's been three years since that fateful day when we were forced to leave home... I still remember the look on her face. She was so happy to finally go into the human world to make new friends; and find those who were truly like her and accepted her. I thought to myself as the lights turned off.
"Guardian... Are you... There?" Her faint and broken voice called for me.
"Yeah I'm here. I'm just waiting for him to leave." I replied as I trotted over to the mare I fell in love with.
"Don't worry.... About him.... He doesn't want.... To go to Equestria.... For a couple more days." She told me.
"I know that honey but I don't want him using you to open the portal. I'm as full of Equestrian magic as you and yet he keeps on using you for this even though I plead for him not to." I grunted as I picked up her up and set her on her hindquarters and began cleaning her to get off all the grime and nastiness.
"You always take.... Such good care of me... I love you so much." She said gleefully as she laid her head on my shoulder.
"I love you too honey." I said back with a smile as I cleaned off her flank only to see her cutie mark. I don't know what it was about that mark that made me fall in love with her.
"Do you ever... Miss home?" She asked sadly as she looked behind her only to see her bubbles.
"I don't miss it that much. I mean everypony treated you terribly Derpy." I said as I put my hooves on her shoulders and looked her in her eyes.
"What's wrong baby?" Derpy said as I had a confused look on my face.
"Your eye is messed up." I said as I gave her a small grin.
"My eye... Is always messed...Up." Derpy chuckled with her cute smile.
"I know now hold on while I fix it." I said as I laughed as well.
Then we just sat there for about two hours in complete silence while the games in the other room beeped and whirled.
God why did he get her involved. I told him to only take my but he didn't listen. I know she would have begged to come see me again, but if she came over would he do the same thing he did to us in the first place. I thought to myself as I cried.
"Is everything... Okay Guardian?" Derpy asked as she wiped my tears away and pulled me close.
"Do you ever miss it Derpy?" I asked as I pulled out a picture of us when we first met at the Grand Galloping Gala.
She was invited there by the Princess for always delivering the mail on time. I was there because I had made a breakthrough as the head engineer of the Royal Guards. She wore a dress her friend Rarity made. It was silver and blonde to match her coat and mane, it also had bubbles around her neck and the bottom of the dress as well. I was there in my officer attire. Still the same old orange mane and purple coat and my mark. Just a simple military helmet you know nothing special. But, she didn't think it was ordinary and that's when I fell for her.
"Miss what?" She questioned even though she knew what I was talking about.
"Being a real pony and not an abomination." I said as I looked in a mirror that was on the wall next to us only to see the same green eyes that looked real even though they had a light behind them. Then I looked at the rest of me only to see what looked like me minus the circuits and wires and screws.
"I know I... Miss it too.... Can you fix my leg?" Derpy sadly said as she looked down at her nub.
"I gotcha." I said as my right hoof turned into my personal tool set.
"Well well well if this isn't cute the lonely mechanic and the mail mare." A sadistic voice said behind me.
"What do you want?" I said as I turned around and saw him. The man who brought us here. "I know you are going to use the portal again. Please use me Viktor not her." I said as I put my hoof in front of Derpy.
"Why would I harm you two I am simply using your help to get more attractions." He said as he laughed and crossed his arms.
"I swear if you hurt anypony else I will kill you with my own two hooves!" I growled as I glared at him.
"If you threaten me like that again then I will make the smart decision and throw her away! Then Pony Hills Pizza Parlor will have only one main attraction! Now get back on stage or else." Viktor yelled as he grabbed a cattle prod that was in a locked chest.
I will stop you before you hurt anypony else you can count on that. I for once in my life live up to my name Guardian Wings. I thought to myself as I walked back to the stage and glared over my shoulder.
Then the real horror began. A couple hours later after the argument I looked at the clock and saw that it was 10 o'clock in the morning.
Great opening time. I wonder if we'll have any interesting guests? I thought to myself as I began hearing chatter coming from the front door.
"Ugh I can't believe you wanted to come here for your birthday." A snotty teenager said as he walked in with his family.
"It's my birthday and besides you know how much I love the show!" His younger brother argued.
"Whatever just wake me up when this snooze fest is over." The brother said as he put his hood over his head.
Then more of them came in. Little girls and boys, not so little girls and boys also. They just came in and swarmed the place like rats trying to find crumbs. I nonchalantly looked over at Derpy to make sure that she was okay and what I saw pissed me off so much. They were taking her apart and putting different pieces on her like she was a designer toy.
Here comes trouble... I thought to myself when one of 'them' came over.
I don't mind some bronies because they don't do anything weird, however, the ones like this guy I can't stand. I could do nothing as I watched him walk over to Derpy as the children left and began crowding around me on my stage. He calmly looked her over even though I knew what he was thinking. The first day we were on the job Viktor kicked some sorry fat guys ass who tried to put the 'moves' on Derpy. He then looked around until he found Viktor standing in front of the kitchen talking to the cook Manny. I couldn't hear what the weird guy was saying to Viktor, but thankfully I can read lips.
"Excuse me sir I was wondering how much you would like for that Derpy Hooves animatronic over there in the corner." The weird man asked.
"I'm sorry, but she's not for sale. You see her boyfriend is the main attraction on the stage and I know he wouldn't be none to happy if I sold her to some unknown man." Viktor said in his sly voice as he gave me that 'you see I have options so don't try anything else' look.
"But he's just a animatronic he isn't real." The guy laughed.
"Maybe so, but they are both irreplaceable assets to my business so I'll have to decline." Viktor said with a smile showing his unusually white teeth.
The guy, obviously pissed off, then decided to walk out and leave.
I swear I hate those types of bronies. All they care about is their sick deluded fantasies and nasty crap their friends make. Things they make disgust everypony back home, and don't get me started on their 'OC's'. I think it's flattering, but the stories they come up with are horrendous. I thought to myself. Thinking to yourself is something that comes as a second nature when you've been created into something unnatural.
"He looks stupid." A preppy girl who was about 13 said causing me to snap back to reality.
"He doesn't look stupid I like the way he looks!" The little girl next to her, who I'm assuming is her younger sister, argued back.
"He does I mean seriously what kind of name is 'Guardian Wings' it sounds so cheesy." The older girl commented.
"Don't be so mean he can hear you." The younger girl cried.
"Whatever baby I'm going to get something to drink and ask mom and dad if we can get a pizza or something." The older girl said as she rolled her eyes and walked away.
"I'm sorry she's a meanie Guardian Wings. I hope she didn't hurt your feelings." The little girl said in a sad voice as she hugged a plushie of me that she got from the gift store.
I wanted to respond to her so badly and to tell her thank you for treating me like I'm real; but I looked over at Viktor who gave me the 'look' to not say anything about what has truly happened to us. So I decided to respond in my own way.
"Thank you for standing up for me little girl. What's your name?" I said to her in a robotic voice Viktor had installed so people wouldn't get too suspicious.
"My name is Amy." Amy replied as her face lit up from pure joy.
"Amy that's a good name. My name is Guardian Wings. Do you want to be friends?" I asked her hoping to at least make one human friend.
"Sure! Let's be the bestest of friends." She said cheerfully.
I just smiled as I heard her reply. Then she got called by her parents for lunch. I wanted to say 'don't leave talk to me more' or 'you're the only human friend I have please don't go'; but I didn't. I just stood there and smiled and did the daily routine. Pose for pictures, sing a song along with the soundtrack from the show, pose for more pictures, tell them about myself and Equestria, pose for even more pictures, sing more songs. Finally before I could scream in my head Viktor came over the intercom.
"Sorry everyone, but we will be closing early today to make preparations for next week. Because we are getting more animatronic ponies this weekend and will need time to set up so come back on Monday ready for something completely new!" Viktor announced.
Wait. What?! New attractions this weekend?! But he didn't plan on going to Equestria until next week. I said to myself as I began panicking. I then looked over at Derpy as everyone began filing out with the greatest concern my face could muster without anyone noticing. Her response was a simple smile as she looked at me as if to tell me everything will be okay.
---Three Hours Later/7 P.M.---
"Come on you bucket of bolts" Viktor said as he came up on stage and grabbed me by the back of my head.
"Don't be so damn rough all you have to do is tell me!" I yelled back in response.
"Consider yourself lucky that I'm using you and not her! You pissed me off pretty badly this morning so I decided that I would listen and let you have some fun as well." He told me as he dragged me into the back room and slammed me onto a chair that then locked me in place.
"Celestia couldn't you change out this crap it's an antique." I said in a smartass tone.
"Shut up!" Viktor yelled as he jammed a crowbar into my chest and popped it open with a loud 'Snap'. He then grabbed what was inside.
"Be.... Easy..... That thing is..... Fragile." I said as I began to feel weird and my voice generator began to freeze up as he grabbed the purple crystal that was in my chest that was thankfully connected by a retractable cord. That crystal is what is now my heart and is also what binds my soul to this suit. The body enters an alternate dimension when the soul is transferred by this crystal and there is no known way of getting it back.
"Oh don't worry I won't be too long and based on the coloring of this Algurian diamond I could stay in Equestria for a week." Viktor said as he smiled and flipped a switch causing a portal on the wall to break into existence. Then he walked in carrying a big sack and rope.
I didn't see the rest because the pain of having my 'heart' taken out of me caused me to black out.
A couple hours passed and I was awaken by the sound of grunting. I opened my eyes and saw him come back struggling to drag the sack into the portal.
"Morning lazy ass." He grunted out as he finally got the bag out of the portal.
I just stared at him in disgust.
"We had a big haul tonight." He said as he pushed a button on a remote releasing the locks on my appendages and causing my Algurian heart to return back to my chest. My chest ate it like it was a meal and returned back to normal. After patting my chest to make sure all was good I looked up and saw him open the sack.
"Surprise! I guess they weren't prepared for this storm to come to Ponyville." Viktor said as he looked in awe of his catch.
I just looked in pure shock. In the sack were six mares. They had pink, purple, white, orange, yellow, and cyan coats.
