I awoke to the sounds of grunting and short bursts of shouting, my whole body felt sore and weak. I didn't even remember what happened or where I was. I slowly rose up from the bed I was on and hissed as I felt a burning sting on my chest, I looked down to see my chest wrapped up in bandages along my arms and legs.

"What happened?" I asked.

"We saved you" I heard, and I snapped my head to see a gray skinned lady with short ashy hair going over her left side, wearing a dark brown leather jacket, black jeans, black boots and a gray shirt. And she didn't look too happy to see me.

"You did, well... thank you" I said and strained myself out of the bed, as I did, I felt a little breeze down south. The woman's eyes looked down and her face went from gray to red in a matter of seconds.

"What is wrong with you, put on some pants!" She screamed throwing a pair at me. I caught them and quickly put them on. They weren't anything fancy really, just old brown pants with a hole on the right knee, it felt awkward not wearing any underwear with it on but I shouldn't really complain.

"Very sorry about that... uhm, if you don't mind me asking, who are you and where am I also what happened to me that lead to... well, this?" I asked her as she finished rubbing the blush from her face.

"My name is Limestone, I pretty much run this farm that you trespassed on, and we found you stumbling through it two days ago before everyone went to bed. Giant slash marks, broken arm, fractured leg and don't get me started when we cauterizing and stitched your open wounds" Limestone said, I looked down at my chest and felt the sting hit me again. "How you survived is beyond me, you were pretty much at death's door slamming on it with everything you had" she said before walking towards the door.

"Wait... so you're telling me that I hurt so badly that I was asleep for two days?!" I asked freaking out a bit.

"Yup, but I wouldn't get to comfortable Thomas, because you're gonna be helping me with the farm today and if you slip up, Im gonna kill you" Limestone mentioned. "So c'mon, foods downstairs waiting, along with a couple of clothes as well"

We both made our way downstairs and I smelt something pretty good coming from down stairs. We walked a few more feet before I saw an older version of lime except she was wearing a long dress and an apron, and her hair was tied up in a bun.

"Ah, Lime I see you woke up Thomas, gave us quite a scare really" The woman said as she set two bowles on the table. "Might want to eat quickly, your father is already out their and could use some help"

"Uh, thank you for the meal mrs..."

"Cloudy quartz, but please call me Cloudy" Cloudy said before disappearing into the next room. Me and Lime sat down, Lime was already eating while I was looking at it... it was regular soup, but it had a red rock in it.

"C'mon, eat up, don't wanna start with an empty stomach" Lime said popping the rock in her mouth and chewed it like it was nothing. I blinked a couple times before looking at the rock, seeing my uneasy face Lime groaned and took the rock out of my soup. "It's just a layer of rock candy, look" She said and split it in half showing me bread inside.

"Oh, that's pretty cool actually" I said taking the bread and began eating. The bread gave a sweet but salty texture while the soup tasted spicy but also filling at the same time, unlike most soups. "That was amazing, gotta thank Cloudy for this meal"

"Well c'mon, you're gonna be helping me today, lets go" Lime said, getting up and let me outside. The sun was unbearably hot, and I still didn't have any real clothes on except for these ragged pants. "Ok, looks like this will be an easy day, dad already got half of them crushed and placed into the cart so we gotta do the other half" Lime said walking over to a couple of pickaxes and tossed one to me.

"Ah, damn it!" I yelped, when I caught it, my arm flared up and the pain coursed through it instantly. I almost fainted from the pain, but I kept myself awake and tried to pick it up again. "Aaaaaah.... son of a-" I strained as I finally grasped it, fighting through the pain.

"Congratulations, you picked up an iron pick-axe" Lime said with a hint of sarcasm. "Now c'mon muscle man we got a job to do so no slacking, injured or not, you have a debt to pay"

"Yes... ma'am" I panted out and followed her. She led me over to a bolder and with one swing she split it in half, what was more impressive was the amount of crystals in the bolder. "Whoa, how are yall not rich?" I asked admiring the crystals.

"The hell you on about, crystals get us 40 thousand bits with each full cart we bring to the town, we paid off the house, so we keep the bits in saving for either food or clothing" Lime said and I'm guessing bits were their currency here. Even so, it made my jaw drop to the floor.

"Holy shit, that's a lot of money," I said.

"Alright enough talk, you see all those boulders and rocks?" Like asked pointing to the hundreds of rocks to our right.

"Uh, yeah so what?" I asked and she gave me a glare that told me to shut it.

"I want you to break every single of those by days end, if you don't, no dinner and you will keep working till it's done. Got it?!" Lime ordered and it kinda gave me a bit of a scare. "Good now get to breaking"

"This kinda feels like Im your slave" I said and Lime laughed.

"You are" Lime said plainly before walking off. "Have fun Tommy, don't go dying out here!" She shouted and went to her side to do her work. I looked towards the giant rocks and felt the sun beating down on my bare body.

I looked at all the rocks and sighed. "I should've just died"

Midnight

Hours had passed, and I collapsed onto the floor after throwing the last bag of crystals into Igneous cart. My body was hurting tremendously, my wounds might've healed somewhat, but they were still healing nonetheless, and now I believe I ruined my body.

"Curse... my skinny........ body" I heaved out, the sun had gone down and Lime was already done for today. Staying true to her word, I haven't had dinner yet and hasn't let me in the house when I wasn't finished. "Jesus christ... I can barely move, give me strength" I prayed and almost instantly I saw a girl who had the same colored skin as lime but her hair was a darker shade of gray, and it was combed to the left. She was wearing a pink nightgown and she looked like she just got outta bed.

"Hmmm?" She hummed and I raised an eyebrow.

"Hi... I don't think we have met before, my names Thomas knight" I said and she nodded. "Already knew that huh, ok, what's your name?" I asked.

"Her name is Marble, shy little thing but she seems comfortable around you" Cloudy said coming outside. She was also wearing a nightgown, "Guess Lime pushed you to much dear Thomas, but don't worry it'll get better, I promise" Cloudy assured me and I smiled before I felt marble poke my face.

"What's up?" I asked and she pointed to my bandages. I looked at them and noticed they were all dirty and some of them had blood on it, probably reopened a few wounds breaking those rocks. "Oh, I guess I need to change them"

"Let us help you inside" Cloudy said as she and marble picked me up wrapping my arms around their shoulders before helping me inside. Once inside I was met with a glare of limestone. "Lime be a dear and get the bandages please, seems you pushed dear Thomas here to the point of exhaustion and even reopened some wounds" Cloudy said with a disapproving look.

"He has to clear his debt mom, it's only for a week so when the summer sun celebration hits you're free to go" Lime said and walked off, but quickly came back with bandages. I sat down on the surprisingly soft couch and was stripped of my bandages.

"Whats the summer sun celebration" I asked as marble began patching me up.

"It's a yearly event in equestria, mainly to commemorate Princess Celestia" A plain voice said. I looked to see another gray girl with long ashy purple hair, taller than the rest and a blank expression on her face. She was wearing a white shirt and blue short shorts. "Our sister pinkie pie is one of the people in charge of the food for the celebration"

"Oh, well sounds like fun actually... by the way-"

"My name is Maud pie" Maud said and walked over to me, she kneeled down and looked over my wounds and even found a couple of bruises. "Lime you know he is still injured, I'm surprised he is still moving at this point or even conscious at all"

"Im fine... really, just need to rest for a bit," I said. "I've been in much worse than this, so believe me when I say my pain tolerance is extraordinary" I assured and I think she understood me. "I think I just need to sleep a little"

"Well, you're not going to sleep here, Lime help this poor boy to his room" Cloudy said and Lime was going to object but saw Cloudys glare and just groaned. Wrapping my arm around her shoulders, she hoisted me up to my feet and began helping me to my room. "Poor thing, was on the brink of death and now has to work the second he's walking and talking"

"Well he did ask how he could repay us, even though I told him it wasn't necessary" Igneous said coming inside and plopping on a recliner. "Though I would've given him a week or two to atleast get his strength back, seems he's tougher than I thought, considering he's a little on the skinny side"

Marble got up and yawned loudly, she waved to her parents and went upstairs to go back to bed. Next it was maud leaving them to themselves, Igneous was still thinking about how I was able to even get up while Cloudy was getting worried.

"I'm going to go check on him" Cloudy said and got up, and Igneous joined her. As they were walking towards the door they could hear me and Lime talking, she stopped in front of the door and listened in.

"Lime... are you sure about this, you don't have to," I said.

"Yeah well, I would feel differently about it so just lay there and don't do anything got it?" Lime ordered and the parents heard me sigh.

"Fine, but take it easy ok this is your first time doing this after all" I said and they heard shuffling.

"Wait, Igneous, you dont think they're-" Cloudy stopped when I gave out a loud groan. Cloudy was beat red at this point and Igneous was just shocked. "T-That could just be a coincidence, there is no way our daughter would be doing such things with Thomas after one day"

"Yes, you're right Cloudy, it's probably just a massage or-"

"Damn that feels amazing lime"

"Of course, its coming from me... though I will admit it's a little tiring but fun" Lime said and the bed creaked a little and I gasped slightly. "Sorry, to much?"

"N-No... it felt good, keep going" I said and now Cloudy was a darker shade of red including Igneous. "It feels really tight"

"It is my first time so-" Before Lime could finish, Igneous heard enough and busted the door open

"What the hells going on... in... here" Igneous slowly stopped his little anger fit as he saw Lime stradling me and massaging my back. Lime was embarrassed her father caught her straddling me and quickly got off blushing a bit. "What is going on here?"

"Lime was giving me a massage to say sorry for pushing me to hard today" I answered slowly flipping over. "She kinda had to get on me to get a better position and it was her first doing it on someone other than her sisters and it was my first time getting a massage" I added making the older man become embarrassed. "What did you think we were doing?"

"Uh-well-you see... nothing, uh please continue and I'll see you in the morning" Igneous said and both he and cloudy quickly slammed the door and raced off.

"That was weird" I said and looked at Lime who was blushing a bit. "What's up?"

"Uh... nothing, wanna continue?" Lime asked me and I nodded. This time she told me to sit up and she crawled behind me starting again. "You know this is a one time thing, right?"

"Yeah... and I'm enjoying it"

Canterlot Castle, P.o.v- Jackson

The first thing that hit me was the cold rain and the second was the wind. I was staring up a black cloudy sky, with thunder booming and lighting flashing in the clouds. I didn't know what was going on, nor did I get to ask when suddenly I saw a bolt of lighting zip right past me. I shot up into a sitting position and took notice of where I was and how much danger I was in, I was sitting atop a very VERY large castle looking over a city that was embedded into a mountain.

"Its okay Jackson, just breathe slow-" I was cut off by another bolt zooming past me, scaring the ever living shit out of me. "JUST BREATHE!" I screamed and scooted back until I hit the pole in the center of the surface I was stuck on. "Jay! Thomas! Where are you guys?!" I called out to them but was met with Thunder.

"I have to find a way off this castle, I'll die if I stay this close to a lightning storm especially with a damn metal pole right next to me!" I told myself and I began searching for ways to get off the castle. I searched and searched for places to jump to ledges or windows, but not a single one was found. I was utterly stuck on top of this damn castle. "This is how Im gonna die... getting struck by lighting and frying to a crisp... that damn fortune teller was right!" I damned the man before I saw another bolt fly past me again, this time much closer.

I began panicking at this point seeing no way of getting down to safety, I saw bits and pieces of my life flash before my eyes. "Fuck it, if you want me dead, then just kill me already!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, making sure that whatever god was their heard me. And they did.

Not even a second had passed and in the middle of my screaming I was hit in the chest with 1 billion volts of electricity. My blood ran cold, my heart felt like it could explode and my mind was a blank... I felt like I was dying. I was thrown off from the top of the castle once I was hit and I was now falling to my inevitable death, not that it wasn't going to happen sooner or later. I was struck by lightning for god sakes!

As I fell from the sky I looked up to the black clouds and noticed something... odd. I don't know if it was my impending death but... the world was getting a lot slower, like, really slow. I could see the water droplets, very slowly fall out of the clouds, I saw the lightning searching its way out of the cloud and pierce through it.

It was magical if I'm being honest with myself, a perfect view before I see nothing but darkness. I sighed a bit still in my slow falling state, I started reflecting on my life actions even thought about old memories from the back of my mind.

"I never did get to give mom that present, or apologize to dad for being the way I am... should've been better at listing" I told myself and chuckled a bit. "Guess this is the end of the line, never even got to say goodbye" I said. "I'm still scared of dying even though I accepted it... wonder if god would give me a second chance" I muttered and reached out my hand to the pitch black sky.

"Please... help me" I begged and timed had resumed, I still had my hand reached out towards the sky knowing nothing would happen. But just as I was going to give up a bolt of lighting shot out of the sky and formed a small circled shape surface which caught me, I sat up on the lighting surface and gasped heavily. "How am I...?" I stopped as I noticed the lighting wasn't hurting me.

I checked the area of where it struck me and all I saw was a bruise, almost like I got tackled instead of getting struck. The only thing damaged was my shirt, if I could call it that any more. Their was barely anything left of it, just strands of burnt cloth on my shoulders and neck.

"What... what is going on?" I muttered to myself as the lighting floor dissipated. I looked at my hands and got a very stupid, and dangerous idea. I began psyching myself up a bit then took a deep breath before raising my hand to the sky again, and my idea worked. A bolt of lightning shot out of the cloud, straight towards me, as it got closer I reached out a bit more and caught the bolt in my hand.

It buzzed in my hands gently, and the heat was almost nonexistent. It felt like I was holding a warm metal spear in my hands, I laughed a bit seeing my new found ability and decided to give it a whirl. I looked around and found a decent sized rock next to the castle, I cocked my arm back and threw the lightning bolt as hard as I could.

The amount of speed once the bolt flew out of my hands was unbelievable. If anyone else were to watch it fly, they would only see the end result. Which was quite literally fuckin awesome.

It melted the bolder before even touching it and went halfway into the mounting before blowing up. I was laughing from the sheer amount of amazement I was feeling.

"Dude, am I Zeus or something!?" I asked looking at my hands, then noticed my physical attributes. I wasn't a big person but I also didn't have abs, now I looked like I had the body of Superman with the power to control lightning. " I dont know what happened to me nor do I care, this is fuckin awesome!"

"I think I heard it come from over here!" I heard a woman say behind me, I looked and saw a slender woman with pink skin and blue hair wearing gold and silver armor. She looked back to me and gasped before drawing her sword. "Halt! Don't move or the consequences will be much worse intruder!" The woman said as more people in armor came.

"Wait you don't understand, I'm not an intruder, I... I literally just woke up here" I said not sounding very convincing.

"Get on your knees and hold out your wrists intruder and you will not be harmed" The lady said as a couple of more guards came out from behind the wall. I did as instructed and waited for them to come near me. "We will take you to the princess so she may decide on what your punishment will be"

"Punishment?" I asked and was being dragged to my feet and marched inside the castle. When I entered it was pearly white and had marble pillars with gold etched into it making vine like designs on it. "Why am I getting punished?"

"Because you have trespassed on the royal family's property, that itself should be punishable by 10 years in the dungeon" The guardsmare said and I started panicking. I didn't have ten years to waste away in a cell.

"Whoa, I told you before, I didn't mean to land here, I literally just woke up" I said and I felt something hit me in the back of the head, then a snap. I stopped and looked behind me to see the broken head peice of the spear then at the scared faces of the other guards and guards mare. "Did you just hit me... in the back of the head... with a spear?" I asked slowly and felt myself get a little angry. "Not cool man, you are lucky Im a nice guy" I said with a hint of anger so he can hear the warning.

We continued walking until we reached what looked like a throne room. Two thrones sat at the far end along with two guards and a sole Woman, who I might add, looked more beautiful than any other woman I have ever seen. Her alabaster white skin, the flowing rainbow hair, and her eyes looked like the sky as dusk approached. And her assets were nothing to write off either.

"Your majesty, we have brought an intruder we found outside the castle wall" The guard stated as we stopped in front of the woman. The people kneeled but I stay standing, "He claims he did not invade this private residence, but has woken up here-"

"On the roof I might add" I cut in and was hit with another spear, which broke. "Getting really tired of that guys" I growled slightly.

"Please do not intimidate my guards Stranger" The Queen or Princess said now inches from my face. "Strange one indeed, I believe I've never seen anyone quite like you"

"You do know you're a human... right?" I asked looking at them, but instantly noticed that some had horns or wings or none. Then as I looked at the royal woman, she had both.

"What's a human?" She asked me poking my face and flicking my arms. "Oooh, they're like rock" she said and continued flicking other areas getting the same results.

"What... what are you people?" I asked them, a bit freaked out.

"We are Equestrians, a species with those who use magic, flight or pure strength and speed" She explained. "I'm all the above, my kind is a special case actually, since there has been only three princesses in over hundreds of years"

"I see... so you can tell me where I am exactly" I said and had something crossed my mind. "AND YOU CAN HELP ME FIND MY FRIENDS!" I yelled excitedly breaking the cuffs without realising. "Oh, sorry about that, guess I don't know my own strength heh"

"No... no you do not, but you are very interesting young man" The princess said looking me over. "Do you speak the truth of what you say, that you magically woke up on my roof?" She asked.

"Yes, I was running with friends through some heavily dense woods after fighting off so assholes who bullied a dear friend of mine. I was hit over the head and woke up on the roof of the castle and struck by lightning" I said making everyone but the princess look at me like I was full of shit.

"Did this lightning give you this body?" She asked poking a bit more.

"Yeah... and I can do this now" I said holding out my hand and in came a lightning bolt, crashing through the window. "See"

"Yes, well I can tell you what is going on but I believe you might wanna see someone else" The princess said and waved her hand. In a bright flash and a loud pop I saw Jay on the floor wearing only his pants and a long scar going across his chest then I noticed his hands were scaly and gray along with his with his feet His hair had turned red and some horns grew out of him.

"Jay!" I ran over and held him up a bit. "Jay, hey it's me Jackson c'mon man speak to me!" I yelled and slapped him a couple of times.

"So you're Jackson, he kept mentioning that name for a long time" She said.

"How.... How long have we been here?" I asked.

"Well from what I've been told, you and your other friends have been here for 4 days" She said and I let out a shocked gasp. "If you would like, I'd be more than happy to find your other friend... what was his name- ah yes, Thomas"
