Everfree Forest

Assassin Nitro

I was falling. I looked around, and saw nothing but clouds. I looked down, and saw the expanse of a forest. There was a ruined castle about 12 kilometers south, and a town just 7 north. A mountain with a city protruding from the side stood in a long distance away. I smiled, recognizing the landscape of Equestira. I then went into a nosedive, heading faster towards the ground below. I pulled a Paraglider out of my pack and glided to a tree. I tried to, at least. I had a headache at the last second and I crashed into a tree. Because of the pain of the headache and hitting a tree face-first, I blacked out.

A few hours prior...

"Understood, 2nd Master Ventura." I hung up. I looked in the mirror and sighed. I didn't like what I saw. I saw a red hedgehog, looking similar to my Uncle Shadow. I had blue highlights, and a spiky net of hair going forwards. My head looked like a rat's nest. My eyes, although a pure green, shone dully. Today was the day of the mission, and I had a hangover. Name's Nitro. Nitro the Hedgehog. I'm 13, and I'm an alcoholic. I'm overly drunk because in reality, I was cryogenically frozen for a long time, and when I stepped in, I was in my 60's. Thank the Lord 2 Hats didn't die when I went into the ice box, otherwise I wouldn't have my favorite beer. I shook my head, hoping the hangover won't lower my skills. I obviously was hoping for the impossible.

I ran through what I was told. Go to another world. Stop Templar forces. Obtain allies. Prevent the end of the world. Seems like something a person in a teenager's body can do. Definitely! Nothing could go wrong!

Life's out to get me, isn't it?

I woke up in the middle of the forest, remembering I'm south of the town, but north of the broken castle. I'm in the Everfree. Just great. I got up and looked around. Nothing. Just trees. I had a pole on me, so I planted it into the ground and built it higher than the treetops. Not enough for anyone that takes a casual glance or look out here would see, but enough so that I'll be able to notice it with my Vision. It had an eagle at the crest, and I remembered that I also packed a flag. I set the flag at the top of the poll, hoping the green of the trees will block anyone from seeing the red, white, and blue of the American flag that flew here. I slid down and got to work.

I had limited time, so I had to work fast. I grabbed an ax, a hammer, and nails, and hid everything else underneath some leaves and sticks at the base of a tree. I went to work cutting down 3 trees before going back to the bundle to get my foldable shovel. I uprooted the stumps, moved them off to the side, cut the tree down to manageable pieces, and built a simple building. I had a lot of lumber after building the house, so I stored them. I then prepared for anything by grabbing my SPAS-12 and readying myself in the entryway. My stuff has moved to the back of the makeshift log cabin (made of many short as fuck logs stacked on top of each other, then sealed with mud and clay) and went to work making a fireplace. When all was said and done, it was nighttime already. Surprised with myself for doing this, as I was super lazy and haven't had experience of setting up before, I set up a makeshift bed, and fed myself with some of my rations. I realized just then I only had enough for 3 days, and I wasn't able to grow any of them. I cursed silently, and ate my daily rations.

Nitro expected to be alone, but in the background, a pair of eyes were watching him.

Fluttershy's Cottage
Ponyville
Equestria
6:05 P.M. on April 15th
Fluttershy

I was drinking some tea on the roof of my home. I can't remember why I was up there, or how I got up there with some tea, but it was a pleasant sight. So I stayed up there. It was 6:05, and I had to get down. I had to feed my animals, after all. When I went to grab whatever I had up there, I saw a flagpole, which was strange. I was looking south, so it wasn't the Town Hall in Ponyville. It was in the Everfree, but Zecora wouldn't place a random flagpole in front of her house. Besides, it was way too far away to be outside Zecora's. So that left me with two assumptions: either I was seeing things, or somepony is now living in the Everfree, and who isn't associated with Zecora. "I gotta tell Twilight" was my only thought at the moment. I left my tea set up on the roof, and started flying away. Then, I looked back and saw my animals, and I almost facehoofed. Right. I got to feed them.

An hour later...

I flew to Twilight's castle on the other side of town. Going to her room, I knocked, and she opened the door for me.

"Fluttershy! What a surprise! What are you doing here?"

"Twilight, I saw a strange flagpole south of my house" I responded.

"What? Why was it there?"

"I couldn't check. I had to feed the animals, then it was too dark to see. Do you mind coming with me to the Everfree Forest to see what's going on out there?"

"Sure! I'm willing to come, Fluttershy! Let me get a few things, then we'll be off!" And with that, she rushed to get some equipment. She didn't get much, just enough to see in the dark and other things. "I found these blueprints out near Town Hall about 35 minutes ago. These are apparently good for seeing in the dark, so we should wear these. Don't worry, they won't electrocute you. I hope." She mumbled the last bit under her breath, but I could hear that. I hesitantly grabbed them and put them on. She did the same and we flipped the switch on the side. Mine hummed a soft sound before going silent. The place where the candle was supposed to be was replaced with a bright white light. Twilight sniffed her candle, and we clearly saw everything in her room, but with a very green tint.

"Wo-o-ow, Twilight!" I said, after the effect came in. "But isn't everything a tab bit... green?"

"That's the affect of using these 'Night Vision Goggles', as the schematics say. Everything's a green tint, and can only exist where at least a little light is in the area. It doesn't work in places like a box or something where everything's pitch black."

"Ah. Well, shall we be going?" I pulled the goggles off my eyes and put them on my forehead.

"Yeah, let's go." And with that, we left to the Everfree Forest to find out who's at the base of the flagpole. I almost forgot to put on the goggles before we left. Almost.

Written Journal Entry 1:
It's Day 1 here in Equestria. Not much has happened, other than I was falling to my death for a few minutes.
I'll focus on the base building for the time being.
I might as well sign up for the education system here as well, because it can't be as shit as it was on Mobius, right? RIGHT?! I jinxed it, didn't I? Yeah, I did.
Weapons are good, and I'm ready for the next few days. I have every schematic (minus the NVG, for some reason) and enough silver to buy quite a nice assortment of materials, from wood to metal. I need to head to Ponyville, which is to the north of here, for materials. I need to build a base out here. I need to do the following:

• Build a base
• Get a generator up 'n running
• Ally with the children
• Get as many materials as humanly possible
• Go to school to dilute the possibilities of being suspicious.
• Somehow connect to the internet

I don't know if this'll be possible, but it'll be worth. I hope.
I'll write sometime in the future. I don't know when, but I will.
-Nitro
