Chapter 1: An Ordinary Video?
I’m Shining Armor?!
“Chapter 1: Change”
Australia, Earth
In sunny Australia, a lone individual slept in his bed before an alarm woke him up from his slumber that prompted him to curse out a bit as he woke up.
“F***, another day at work, but at least I be at work…”
The man’s name was Roy Harold Radderson who was the older brother of John Radderson who lived in Australia because he worked as a cargo pilot for the Royal Australian Air Force.
Getting up, he ran his hands through his ginger hair as he looked into a mirror that showed his eyes were a rich hazel brown that went along with his plan looking face.
The reason he joined the Royal Australian Air Force was because he was inspired by Captain Sully after the American pulled off the “Miracle on the Hudson” and currently had the rank of Captain.
Getting into the shower, he cleaned himself up and got dressed for the day. Making his way to the kitchen in his apartment, he fixed himself up a Jimmy Dean’s breakfast bowel and some orange juice as he briefly had the news on before turning it off so he could at least get ready for work at the air base he was currently stationed at called the Dingo Royal Australian Air Force Base about at least 30 minutes away from where he currently lived.
He was a decent cook, but he still had to eat out and with a bit of help, he was improving his cooking skills. Grabbing his gun a Glock 9 type which he was allowed to have because of his status in the Australia military, he then headed to work in his car an old blue-gray 2004 Toyota Corolla that despite its age, it was a good car though he was planning on replacing it with a newer version sometime down the road and headed on his way.
Turning on the radio, he tuned in to the station that played heavy metal music and right now, it was starting to play “The Ballad of Bull” by the Swedish Power Metal band Sabaton.
Arriving at work which was the RAAF Base Dingo, he first had to show his idea before the security guard at the booth let him into the base as he parked his car and reported for duty.
He went to his office and sat at his desk that was basic for someone like him as it had his name and rank, paperwork, and a few pictures of his family including his younger brother John posed in front of the Sydney Opera House.
One picture however filled him with a depressing mood and it was that of his ex-girlfriend Michelle Watson whom they had sadly broke up a year ago due to his job and differences they couldn't sort out.
His mom wanted him to find a nice girl, get married, and settle down, but it wasn't going to happen anytime soon though a girl named Marie Mi A Morrie who came from France that worked at the Amberley Outback Daycare was nice enough that he was interested in, but duty came first.
Today’s line of work was inspecting the C-17A Globemaster III aircraft which was boring as he preferred to be in the air, but it was all part of the day’s work.
Changing out of his formal uniform, he was now clad in a combat uniform along with tan boots as he grabbed the file that was needed for the inspections.
Everyone he walked past to the hangers saluted him as he saluted them back in return. One airman got his attention and spoke to him.
“Good morning Captain Sir! Good day in Aussie eh mate?”
“Likewise, how have been the kids?” Roy asked.
The Airman spoke, “They’re doing okay sir!”
“Carry on mate…” Roy said calmly.
Arriving in the hangers that housed the aircraft, Roy smiled to himself at the large beauties of the C-17A Globemaster III as he got to work with the mechanics to ensure all eight were working in proper order.
After hours of work with a lunch break to break it up, Roy returned back to his apartment not far from the base he worked at. Returning home, he fixed himself a one-person spaghetti dinner and checked his email for anything interesting.
One thing caught his interest and that was from his younger brother about a YouTube video about My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. The video was on Twilight Sparkle’s brother Shining Armor and it was a music video for “Big Brother, Best Friend Forever” set to clips of the show.
Roy smiled at the work that the person did for the video as he saw a bit of himself in the unicorn stallion who was a white unicorn with dark blue hooves, blue eyes, a cutie mark that was a dark blue knight shield with a six-pointed star on with three dark blue stars on top of it, and his mane of three shades of blue; moderate sapphire blue, moderate cerulean, and dark phthalo blue.
“This bloke did a smashing job…” Roy said.
He logged into his YouTube account and commented on the video while adding it to his favorite videos as he was a brony, but a more quiet type. He then noticed a message that appeared to have taken notice of his comment.
“Thanks, I put a lot of effort into it. Hope you like the bonus prize.”
“Huh? What bonus prize?” Roy asked.
His answer was given to him in the form of another YouTube Video, but it was an in-depth analysis of Shining Armor himself that appeared to glow white prompting him to shield his eyes so he wouldn’t be blinded by the light.
After adjusting the light settings on his computer, he resumed watching the video and after giving a good feedback on the video, he checked the clock and decided to shower before heading to bed.
Before then, he decided to get to know who the guy who sent him the two videos was and he got his answer in the form of the user name: MLP Theory Analysts.
Once that was settled, he then went to the bathroom where when he stripped down, he saw something strange; bits of white on his healthy and tanned skin. He thought it was paint or some other thing as after he had showered, the spots were still there.
“Weird, wonder what it is all about…I’ll have to ask the military doctors what this about tomorrow…” Roy said to himself.
With that in mind, he made a reminder to see one in the morning in his Iphone 6, stripped down to his boxers, and went to sleep at around 9:10 pm.
Unknown to Roy, while he slept soundly, his body was staring to undergo some radical changes. The first thing that happened was that the white spots started to get larger that in reality were actually pony fur that had within moments covered every square inch of his body.
The next thing to change was his feet as his human feet began to curl up and change into pony hooves. His skull began to adjust shape into a pony type as seconds later, a unicorn horn formed on his forehead while his ears became pony-like.
What changed next was the rest of his body was adjust to pony anatomy particularly an anthro version of a pony as Roy grunted as he then grew a pony tail that moved freely before coarse pony hairs appeared as his manhood adjusted that to of a pony stallion.
The final changes done were that his eye color changed and that of his hair was well changing color to that of Shining Armor along with his new tail and to finish it all off, the cutie mark of Shining Armor was added.
Roy was about to be in for some rude awakening in the morning…

Chapter 2: Rude Awakening
I’m Shining Armor?!
“Chapter 2: Rude Awakening”
Australia, Earth (the next day)
Morning broke over the apartment of Captain Roy of the RAAF, but today would be very different as he was about to find out in the most shocking way.
Groaning, Roy felt very strange as he opened his eyes and rolled onto his back where he felt something was amiss as he soon spoke to himself.
“What is going on here? And why do I feel something is off with my rear?”
What took him back was his voice; it sounded different as it sounded more like the pony character Shining Armor as he stood up feeling a bit of a draft as he looked behind himself to see that to his horror, he had a tail.
Furthermore, Roy looked down and saw his feet were now pony-like prompting him to go to a full-length mirror he kept for getting dressed for military stuff.
Looking at the mirror, he had saw he had become an anthro-pony creature in the form of Shining Armor from MLP FIM and after checking that the blinds in his apartment were closed, he gently pulled his boxers down and saw his manhood didn’t look that much different from his human form aside from the different color and shape of the part that made him a male.
“Well, at least I’m still a guy and not his Rule 63 counterpart Glimmering Shield.” Roy said to himself.
After a quick check over his body once more, he clearly now saw he was now and for now, Shining Armor as the cutie mark was the final proof he needed along with his unicorn horn on his head.
“Great, I’m Shining Armor now…what do I do now?” Roy asked himself.
He sat down on his bed buck naked in all forms, he wondered how he would be able to do his job at the RAAF and how everyone would take his form.
Shaking those thoughts from his head for now, he made his way to his bathroom to shower where it felt a bit strange now that he was a pony or rather an anthro version of one.
After showering, Roy decided to contact his brother to see if he had this happen to him as well as he had to get dressed though he would need to adjust his boxers and pants for his new tail.
Before he could do so, he felt something strange; memories, but they were not just any memories, they were the memories of Shining Armor himself colliding with his own memories.
“Great, I’ll be bipolar before too long…bloody hell…” Roy said to himself.
Concentrating, he moved his new tail around which he thought was actually funny and as he looked at himself in the mirror once more, he saw that he still had his build from his time in the RAAF despite his lower legs changing a bit.
“What am I really? Do I really have a love in the form of Cadence? Or do I have a wife and a daughter with the girl being named Flurry Heart? Who will I be in the end; Roy or Shining Armor?” Roy said to himself as he paced himself in his apartment.
Putting those thoughts aside, he got dressed up and thanking he had the day off went to make himself breakfast though he had to adjust for his new equine diet.
After getting ready for the day, Roy headed out to the local library on information on how or what he could do to reverse it. Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the moderate brown brick building and went inside.
He did get more than a few weird looks sent his way due to the fact he had made sure he was concealed from head to feet or hooves now, but it was nothing strange for the others in the place.
Roy soon located a section on supernatural stuff and checked it out along with a few other materials and headed back home to his apartment though driving was a bit difficult due to his hooves and tail, but made it home safely.
He then went on his computer that he used for work to see if anything else could be of use. At first, he found nothing that could explain how he became what he currently is now.
It was then that Roy checked his email account to see if anything was needing his attention as then, he saw that got an email from his family and when opened it, his eyes widened out a bit at what he was reading; his younger brother John was now a female.
“What the? Did he get a sex change? I never saw him ever desiring to be a woman.” Roy asked himself.
Quickly sending an email to ask what had happened, Roy didn’t have to wait as the response came back as his parents had no idea how John went from a normal, human male to a female anthro pony version of Twilight Sparkle from MLP FIM.
Then, an idea hit him as what if this Youtube user that had sent him the video on Shining Armor had something to do with his younger brother changing as well into Twilight Sparkle.
Quickly getting his stuff for skype, he soon went about to contact his parents to not only say hi, but also to see what had happened to his brother as well.
“Okay now Roy, calm down now as you’re in the same boat as your brother except he’s a female now while for some reason you’re still a guy, time to get some answers…” Roy said to himself.
He had no idea what was going to happen next...
