Author's Note

Wow, this by far the second longest chapter I have wrote so far. So, I hope you all enjoy it.

Chapter 1: "Welcome to Equestria" (Edited)

Pain.

That's the first thing that comes to mind during my conscious state mainly because I have face planted into the ground after being thrown into some kind of portal.

"This sucks." I thought as I sat up from my fall.

It was nice to know that I could still make a perfect imprint of my face after professionally face planting several times in my lifetime. Unfortunately, I had no time to dwell on the small details for right now.

Immediately, I look at my surroundings and all I could see is trees. These weird trees however, seem different in a way. The dark, almost black, brown tree trunks and luscious dark green leaves made the surface below it dark and a little hard to see well. That sent an eerie vibe through the forest making it slightly creepy every passing minute I stay in here.

I search for a stream and lady luck seem to be on my side as I found a stream not too far from the spot I had land in a while ago.

Taking a look through the reflection in the water, my eyes widen as I feel my new features, such as my new black horn, mane, and tail, with the mane and tail in a different shade of black than the horn is. My eyes are red, but the black pupil of the eyes themselves seem wider than normally should be. Though, whatever clothes i had before was replaced with a black t-shirt and blue jeans.

Sighing, I bend down to take a drink hydrating myself. The water itself felt refreshing, but foreboding in a sense that only meant death. Getting back up, I went back into the trees hiding myself just as a low canine growl could be heard through the bushes. It didn't take long before the menacing figure showed itself. And what I saw put me in utter shock.

It was a timberwolf that stood before my line of sight. The mythical creature that is said to be a wooden version of a wolf. The timberwolf scans the air before locking eye contact with me. It seems my stroke of luck has end.

"Well, Thank you lady luck for your generosity." I managed to think up just before he bellows out a howl.

Once the howl ends, three more timberwolves joined the previous one. Seeing no more point in hiding I show myself to the wooden wolves. However, the timberwolves did not back down.

Immediately, they charge at me all at once, I jump over top of the charge before grabbing one of the timberwolves doing a flip landing on top of it. I swiftly snap its neck open as sap went everywhere.

I then used its head and throw it directly at the closest timberwolf available. The momentarily stunning gave me enough time to speed over to the timberwolf before grabbing its back hind legs and pressing my hooves into its spine, I then proceed to lean back sharply.

With unsettling ease, I ripped both hind legs completely out of its joints as sap burst from its veins. The beast cried out in agony before I end its life quickly.

While my guard was down temporarily, one of the remaining timberwolves bites down into my left foreleg while another bite down on my right forearm. I stifle a cry of the new pain that was coursing through me.

The alpha seemed to give a mocking glare which I returned back with a heated one. The new sense of rage and little bit of fear made me grab the timberwolf attach to my forearm before piercing its skull with my new horn, killing it instantly.

I get the timberwolf off my forearm as the look of fear on the alpha made me smile slightly in triumph. Quickly, I dispose of the last timberwolf attached to my foreleg before limping my way to the alpha.

With a better sense of the situation, the alpha yelped away deeper into the forest. I stumbled to the ground as my two new wounds were now bleeding even more now that the adrenaline rushed out of me.

The only thing that I could find in a twenty mile radius of these woods was a make shift cloth gauze pad and vines wrapped around the wounds to stop the bleeding. Fortunately, it had succeed, but I knew it would not last long. Another good sign of all this is that I wasn't in the Dark Forest.

Bad news is I have never been in these woods before, nor did I expect to get injured in the middle of a forest/jungle. Then it hit me, magic, I have a horn, so why not? I concentrated on where I wanted to go as my horn glows a soft black color. Suddenly, I felt myself somewhere else.

In seconds, I fall on white marble floor. The magic here seems to be different for than the teleportation magic I'm normally used to it seems. Granted, I have no idea where I went either. I just went to where my magic thought best to go.

I look around the room seeing all sorts of fancy gold and pearl white walls including the floor. There was two night stands on either side of a luxurious bed with an emblem of some sort of sun embedded into the frame of the bed.

I heard footsteps nearby as I turn around regretting to use my fucked up magic as my eyes widened in bewitched awe. What stood before me had a long horn with wings, her white coat was a luscious body which looked like some kind of goddess in anthropomorphic horse form, and her turquoise, blue, and yellow eternal mane.

But, what really stood out to me was her unholy large breasts and butt. She covered her private areas as best as she could in my presence; her cheeks bright red with embarrassment, eyes wide as well.

"Holy mother of all creation!" I internally say just before her magic charged up in her through her horn in a golden aura.

"GET OUT!!!!" She bellowed as a beam as intense as the sun shot out through her horn.

I nearly miss it before the beam lightly singe my already black coat and left a giant hole in the wall where I once stood. Guards came in afterwards before I decide to make my escape through the newly made hole. "Intruder! Seize him!" one of the guards called out.

Going through the giant hole in the wall was a big mistake as I was now dropping at least a thousand feet until my body makes contact on the cold hard ground. Thinking quickly, I charge up my horn and think of anything to go, but falling to my death. It seemed to be getting closer every second.

Eighty feet.

Fifty feet.

Thirty feet.

I vanished just before I made contact with the rocks below.

Slamming into tree branches is not my way of a fun landing, but it certainly soften my fall before I hit the cushion of grass with ease. I laid there for a few more moments to catch my breath before I stood up. I cursed strongly realizing I was in the same forest I started in. I let out a sigh before continuing my journey into the forest.

Four days went by with the same routine of gathering food, finding shelter and sleeping as best as possible. Unfortunately, the wounds on my leg didn't seem to heal as well as my arm is doing. Over the course of four days, I was also able to practice many spells to see that magic seems to be flowing through my horn now, so I take much care to my horn not to damage it; afraid of what would happen if I do.

Luckily, surviving is what I do best in, so I happily eat my cooked meat when suddenly I spot something not far off in the distance. I carefully pick myself up going toward the strange figure, wondering obliviously, on a pathway I just realized was there. What stood there had utterly shock me as much as the timberwolves have. This was a manticore, half lion, and half scorpion with batlike wings. Fortunately though, he seem to not notice me in anyway. I would have completely ignore him when a strange starry shadow came right out of the ground. Curious, I watch as the starry shadow blob turns into a thorn sticking into itself in the manticore's paw. It cried out just before I heard a collective group of feminine gasps.

"A manticore!" one of the feminine voices cries out.

I quickly direct my gaze to a group of mares, similar to the white one I encounter four days ago, Two had horns, like mine, two others had just wings, and the last two no wings, nor horns. They all had clothing to their tastes and preferences, thankfully, I was about to step in to help when one of the mares stepped up and kick the manticore in the face shouting. "Take that you ruffian!"

The manticore only look mildly in annoyance as it bellows out an ear-piercing roar in defiance. The purple mane was once styled to look professional and clean with a white coat unicorn (I believe that's her race) stumbles back as her mane was going all wild like. She immediately coward away from the beast in response.

"Wait." a whisper voice says. I look to see it had come from a yellowish pegasus (I believe that's her race as well.) with a pink mane in a slight curl at the ends.

The next thing I knew, a yellow mane and tail with the ends tied, orange coat mare jumps on to the manticore's back as he thrashes wildly like a bull in a rodeo. I would hear her cries of southern accent in the mix of the manticore's enraged thrashing. After a while of a small sight of rodeo watching, the orange mare is proceed to be thrown off the him as she called for the assistance of the next mare, who was in midair flying at the time. This pegasus mare has a rainbow mane and tail with a light blue coat. She salutes the orange mare before dashing after the manticore like she is itching for a fight.

"Wait." the whisper voice only a little louder than before.

The rainbow mane pegasus swirls around the manticore at blinding speeds. The manticore's annoyance only grew as he flicks his tail out sending her flying away into the bushes. "Rainbow Dash!" a dark purple mane and tail, with a blue and pink stripe running through the middle of both of them, and lavender coat unicorn exclaims.

The now named Rainbow Dash gets up groaning, but not in too much pain that I could see. That sent the last tick down the lavender unicorn as she and the manticore prepares to fight. There was stillness in the air momentarily before the two forces run after each other-

"WAAAIT!" the same yellowish pegasus mare shouts causing both sides to freeze in place confuse. I even can admit I am confuse also. The pegasus then approaches the beast as he eyes her suspiciously. He went to swipe down on her before she softly talks to the manticore. She got the beast to show her his injure paw, with the thorn on it, before she pulls it out. The beast roars in her face. I was ready the kill the beast with my own hands as well.

"Fluttershy!" the girls said in unison.

But seconds later, the manticore licks and purrs under her touch. Both the mares and I were utterly shocked at the sight before us. I nearly blew my own cover as well. Once the mares' shock subsides, they walk pass the manticore. They exit as the now named Fluttershy catches up with the lavender unicorn.

"How did you know about the thorn?" she asks.

"I didn't," Fluttershy replies walking up ahead. "sometimes all we need to be shown is a little bit of kindness."

"Kindness."

"It masks the cold blow of betrayal."

The familiar voice made my skin crawl all over and look around me to find nothing. I continue on just as the starry shadow bursts from being into a thorn then seeps into the ground. Several sharp starry shadows fling itself at me as I dodge the attack. They went for another round before I skillfully grabbed one of the starry shadows. It tried to struggle out of my grip, but to no avail. Quickly, I dive back into the forest just as the starry blade shadows embed themselves into the wood of the strange trees.

After a while, what I thought was a safe distance away from the shadows, I examine at the captured starry shadow in my clutches. "Now where could you have possibly come from?" I ask rhetorically.

Closing my eyes, I lit up my horn and wait. After a few moments, I open my eyes running through the woods at full speed. I had to get through a lot of the forest and even cross a river to find what I was looking for. In the distance, a castle seem to be in ruins and abandoned in the midst of some sort of battle long ago, however, I spot a few light areas in the castle; letting me know something was brewing inside. I let go of the starry shadow as it went to its original owner, I followed it carefully.

It led me to the second story as I enter the room through a broken in window. It seem to be long and wide in the inside with a figure, of another one like the white one is, in the room with the lavender unicorn, her friends no where in sight. The lavender mare's surprise turn into determination as she stamp her hoof on the ground.

"You're kidding. You're kidding right?" The black mare with curved wings and long horn asks. But, the lavender unicorn continues forward regardless. The other mare summoned a indigo long sword charging at her as well.

Time seem to slow as the lavender mare's eyes widen in realization. My body react on its own as something summons into my hands and I blur at speeds that would put Rainbow Dash to shame catching the indigo blade with my own blade. A few sparks flew from the contact, but both sides held in a stalemate. The shock on both the lavender and ebony mare's face was priceless at my sudden entrance. I looked at the sword I summon, and, to my surprise, it was my favorite blade in my entire arsenal: Apocalypse.

The ebony mare recovers though as we then get into an intense sword fight. "You dare intervene you filthy wench! Do you know who I am?!" she bellows with each strike.

I quickly dodge as the blade crushed into the stone of the room causing it to spray debris everywhere. I recover with ease before I step back to give myself room. "I'm Nightmare Moon and nothing is ever going to stop me from taking Equestria as my own, bow to your Queen!" Nightmare Moon continues on.

"Embrace the darkness and you'll be set free."

"NO!" I shout causing Nightmare Moon to be momentarily stunned at the volume.

In a blind fury I match every sword strike just moments again with power Nightmare Moon never thought possible, but I tried to avoid hurting her. However, that did nothing when the wind, that Apocalypse was making sliced, into her set of armor. The lavender unicorn mare then heard her friends coming up from the stone stairway.

Nightmare Moon saw this and quickly shattered the round stones into pieces. The lavender unicorn stared in shock and fear, however, I did not care at the moment as I continue my combat with her. I manage to push her into the farthest side of the wall. Unfortunately, it didn't scratch, or faze, her in any way. The momentary stunning was long enough for me to use my magic and restrain her in place. She struggle through the bonds as the rest of her friends came up.

The lavender mare's friends were in shock at my appearance. She turn to Nightmare Moon shouting. "You think you can destroy the Elements of Harmony just like that? Well, you are wrong because the spirits of the Elements of Harmony are right here!"

This got all of her friends attention as I just stood there in confusion. "Elements of what now?"

Before I knew it the shards, that laid on the floor, raised up and flew over to where the mares are the shards encircled each one as she called out the orange mare first. "Applejack, Spirit of Honesty, Fluttershy, Spirit of Kindness," I internally flinched a little. "Pinkie Pie, Spirit of Laughter, Rarity, Spirit of Generosity, Rainbow Dash, Spirit of Loyalty... The spirits of these five ponies got us through every challenge you had!"

Nightmare Moon seethed continuing to try and break through the restraints. "You still don't have the sixth element! The spark didn't work!"

"It did a different kind of spark," she turns around to face her friends. "The spark ignited inside me when I realized..... you all are my friends."

Just as she said that, a bright light burst up into the air as another stone, that look similar to the others Nightmare Moon shattered moments before, except there is a carved out symbol of a star in the center of the sphere. It lowered down toward the lavender pony before the light intensifies. The lavender mare had a smile on her lips continuing on. "When the spark is ignited, it creates the sixth element.... the element of Magic."

The shards form into something around her friends' necks as the element of Magic turns itself into a crown on Twilight's head. Suddenly, a beam of rainbow light arches over increasingly faster toward Nightmare Moon. Knowing my cue, I release my magical grip on her diving into the shadows of the room.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Nightmare Moon cries out as the rainbow light hit her forming itself into a tornado of colors.

After the little light show, the mares laid on the stone floor passed out along with another new mare too, where Nightmare Moon once stood. She was, by far, the same mare, but shorter with lighter shades of blue with a very light and short blue mane. Bits and pieces of Nightmare Moon's armor laid along beside the strange mare. Lastly, what struck me as odd, she had a butt tattoo with the shape of a white crescent moon. I had no idea what to do in this situation, so I plan on sneaking away when the six mares begin to wake up from their slumber. I silently cursed myself. I most likely appeared prematurely at the wrong time and place to properly reveal myself to these aliens.

I draw my attention back to the ponies in question and to see that the lavender mare's friends each had a necklace secured to their necks; each of them seem to gasp in shock at the necklaces they wore proudly. I even saw the white unicorn, now named Rarity, had her tail grown fully back again.

"Rarity, you're necklace, it looks just like your cutie mark." Fluttershy states pointing where her cleavage is to the diamond shaped necklace I had point out before to myself.

"So does yours." Rarity says pointing to the necklace around her neck as well.

Although, to say the least, I was quite confused what they mean about 'Cutie Mark', but I went with the punches and continue to eavesdrop.

"I need to stop talking to myself."

"Ah guess we really do represent the Elements of Harmony." the dubbed, Applejack, said.

"Indeed you do." a familiar mare's voice says. Hearing it again after four days made my skin crawl in a bad way.

Regardless, the regal mare came into the room as a ball of light before materializing, her wide wing span spread out in front of the group of mares. My eyes widen at the same figure from before just with a crown and other features on her symbolizing she is royalty. The lavender mare's friends bow to the royal mare. She walks up to her in amazement and relief. "Princess Celestia." she said.

"Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student," the royal mare, Celestia, says wrapping her wings and arms around the now named Twilight. Once they got out of the embrace Celestia smiles. "I knew you could do it."

Celestia then took her time in walking to the last mare in the room waking up. Her eyes widen as she sat up at the sight of Celestia. "Princess Luna," Celestia said while I stared at her cyan colored eyes. They spoke volumes of the years of torment that lay dormant behind them.

"We were meant to rule side by side, little sister," The other mares seem surprised by this fact, but I could tell they were related in a sense. "Will you accept my friendship?"

There was a heavy silence that fell in the room for a while that I could have sworn I heard a stray cricket chirp it's tone. It wasn't long before the mare named Luna hugs her sister saying. "I'm so sorry. I missed you so much, big sister!"

Celestia smiles down at the crying with joy Luna. These mares seem to be getting a happily ever after, so i decided I stayed long enough to start my exit. As I approach the only exit in the far end of the room, I accidentally stub my hoof in one of the old stands that held decor for display. I held my left hoof leading against the wall at the sudden pain. "Ow! Son of a bitch!"

My response made the entire room went suddenly even more silent then before the confession of Princess Luna. I turn my head to see eight pairs of eyes all on me as I smile nervously.

"Hey, that's the stallion that saved my life from Nightmare Moon." Twilight said through her shock expression. Although, I don't think Celestia was listening too much since she clearly remembers me from four days ago.

"You," Celestia said.
