Johnny Blaze stood in the middle of a dark desert. The sky was deep red, and the land around him was lacking any significant features. He stumbled around the desert, looking for anyone or anything out of place. But he found no one. He tried to call out for help, but no sound came from his mouth when he tried to speak. Suddenly, a large column of fire appeared in front of him, making Johnny stumble back in shock. A figure stepped out from the fire, causing Johnny to furrow his brow with frustration. It was the Rider, a skeleton on fire wearing leather pants and a jacket, and carrying a coiled chain. The Rider stopped in his tracks and looked at Johnny.

"So, we meet again." The Rider said, slightly sneering as he did so. "I have something to say to you." With that, he reached out, and grabbed Johnny by the shoulders.

He leaned in, and yelled, "WAKE UP!!!!"

Johnny shot up, the Rider's yelling having woken him up. He winced as his head throbbed with pain from getting yelled at by the Rider, causing him to rub his aching forehead with his hooves.

'Wait, hooves?'

He looked down at his solid light gray hooves.

"What the hell?"

He turned his hooves around, and slammed them against the ground to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

"What the HELL!!?"

Still in shock, Johnny looked around to see where in the hell he was, and found himself in a large forest.

"Where in the world am I now?" He said.

He got to his hooves, and started to walk forward, wanting to explore the place and find a way out, but fell flat on his face.

He slowly got up, and brushed the dirt off his face, but stopped when his hoof touched something on his head.

"What the hell do i have on my head?" He muttered, feeling the object with his hoof. It was long and pointy, and was attached to his head.

"Aw great!!" He said, as he realized what was on his head. "I have a unicorn horn on my head. So, i guess i'm a unicorn."

With that discovery, Johnny continued moving through the forest, using his hooves to get through the brush. As he went through the brush, he felt something flap against his sides. When he turned to look at his sides, his eyes widened.

He had wings!! Large wings that were the same color as his coat. He stared at his wings, and reached out to touch them. When he touched them, they extended, allowing him to see their full span.

'I have wings as well. That. Is. Awesome!' He thought, intrigued with the wings. He noticed that he had a black tail, as well as a weird picture on his flank. The picture showed a burning skull with a pair of some pipes criss-crossing in an 'X' shape behind the skull and were shooting orange, red, and blue flames. He was quite curious about the picture, but even more so about his wings. They felt amazing! 'Well, enough with my wings. Time to find a way out of this forest.' And with that, he continued on, forcing his way through the brush.

Meanwhile...

In the throne room of Canterlot Castle, the focal point of the capital city of Canterlot, the two royal sisters were currently not located in the large and regal room. To those that weren't around the Princesses enough would've thought that they were taking the day off, which is beyond unheard of. But to the guards and staff on duty, especially the bakers and confectionery chefs, this meant the royal sisters of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were currently locked away in either's room, hoping to have at least one day where they didn't have a representative telling them why they should raise taxes on the middle families or have a noble telling them who did what and why the pony who did it should be banished for it.

But even when locked away from bothersome petitioners and stuck up nobles, their work was still never done. After deciding that Celestia's room would be a good place to bunker down, Celestia removed her neckpiece as she Luna entered the brightly colored room.

"Hahhhh, I just don't understand why our ancestor's thought that royal regalia made of gold and platinum was a good idea. I'm tempted to just sneak out of the castle and get a massage from that spa down in Ponyville."

Luna giggled a little as she used her magic to pull off her crown and neckpiece.

"Yes, that certainly seems like a nice thought. At least Miss Lotus and Miss Aloe don't constantly fret and worry that a small slip up will result in their spa being shut down. Well, at least after our third visit they stopped worrying."

Celestia chuckled lightly as she finally managed to get the rest of her regalia off, setting her crown, neckpiece, and shoes neatly by the dresser, which Luna also set her regalia at. Luna then trotted over to the desk, where she pulled out several papers to be worked on.

She sighed.

"Ohhhh, why must everypony rely on us to solve every little squabble?"

She picked up the first paper. She groaned before even reading a third of it.

"Is this some kind of joke? A dispute over a tree?"

"Now Luna, I know that some of our subjects can be rather...puerile-"

"Puerile?! Last week a noble barged in and wanted us to put a mailmare in the dungeon because she lost a package by accident!"

Luna slumped and hung her head.

"Took me an hour to calm Ms. Hooves down. It breaks my heart to see such a nice mare cry because she made such a small mistake."

Celestia moved over and sat down next to Luna. She wrapped a foreleg around the smaller alicorn.

"I know that the nobles can be so insufferable, Luna, but we have to endure it. After all, Me forbid what would happen if one of them gained more power than the others."

Luna giggled a little at that.

"I suppose you are right, Tia."

"Good, now let's try to get some work done while we have the time."

Luna nodded with a smile and went back to her stack of papers, making sure to write 'Handle it amongst yourselves.' on the paper she had first read.

Johnny felt like he had been going through the forest for hours. Although he was in good shape, his face was dripping with sweat, and his sides were starting to ache with each breath he took.

"How....big.....is....this....forest?" He said as he sat down to catch his breath, worn out from the hike he had just done.

Snap!!!

Johnny sat up alert, his heart starting to beat faster. He looked around to find whatever made that noise, but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Snap!!!

He spun around to where the sound came from, and saw the shadow of some large creature for a split second before it disappeared.

"Who's there?!"

He heard a loud growl from behind him, and slowly turned around. His eyes widened when he saw the creature before him. It was a wolf, made of twigs, logs, and leaves, and had glowing yellow eyes.

"What the HECK did i drink?!!"

Johnny stared at the wolf, not quite sure what it wanted. But he soon found out what it wanted when it barked at him, allowing him to unfortunately smell its horrible breath. He immediately covered his nose with his hoof, preventing him from smelling its horrible breath any more.

"Man, haven't you heard of a breath mint?" He said, trying his best to not breath in its horrible breath.

The wolf growled at this, causing Johnny to back up slightly. That was a mistake. As soon as he took a step back, the wolf jumped at him.

He ducked, using his stuntman skills to do so, and ran. He could hear the wolf howl behind him as he ran, but he didn't dare look behind him, for fear that he might run into something if he did. He continued to run, but soon found himself in front of a steep stone cliff. It was too steep to climb, and he didn't know how to use his wings. He turned around, and saw the wolf had arrived, along with 2 other wolves. They stood in front of him, blocking the only way to get out.

He looked around for an escape route, but couldn't find one. Sighing heavily, he turned to face the wolves. When he made eye contact with them, he heard laughter. Not the kind-hearted laughter you would here from a kid. No, this was the kind of laughter you hear when you see a bully shoving a kid. The Rider wanted to be let loose. And Johnny was more than happy to oblige this time.
