I gasped as I sat up, but regretted doing so as a full body ache, similar to that of the one that had happened to me when I was sent to this weird world. I groaned, looking around and… where the fuck was I? It looked like the castle from before… but it looked so… old. "Jarvis… Gideon… what happened?" I asked, having to pause every once in a while as I was still aching.

"... Unknown sir. But I think I'm malfunctioning. The chronometer says we are 1000 years to the day in the future." Jarvis says, a counter in the upper right of the HUD going from the point I got blasted by those… crystal things, to now.

"You are not malfunctioning. We were placed in stasis for 1000 years. Why… unknown. But if I had to guess, it was because of the crystals that creature used." I nodded, barely moving my head.

"Yeah, guessed that. So where are we?" I asked the 2 very advanced AI.

"Our location is the exact same as that of 1000 years ago. You are possibly the only being to see something as it was, and see it now. Congratulations Sir." Jarvis said, making two hands appear on my HUD that began clapping.

'I wonder if Tony purposely programmed that into Jarvis.' I think as I start to feel my body start to return to its normal self. I stand up, stretching and my lord the cracks and pops. It was like the clanging of church bells with how loud and how much. "Note to self, find a spa as soon as possible… and possibly a chiropractor." A blank piece of paper appeared on the HUD, a dotted list of things to do appearing on it with the only thing on it being 'Find a spa/chiropractor'.

"Right, anyway, I need to get out of this castle, and find some civilization." Together Gideon and Jarvis began to scan the area for life signs. After a few minutes while I continued to stretch, Gideon spoke up.

'Sir, there is an accumulation of life signs roughly 3 miles to the west of our position.'

"Great, good work you two." I stretch one last time before getting into an Olympic runner position. I breathed in then out, and I could feel the lightning begin to course through my body once more. In the span of a few seconds, I was off, out of the castle, over a bridge which collapsed behind me, through the forest, past a black striped gray woman with a white and black mohawk wearing a brown cloak… 'I'll have to go back and apologize later.' I think, and another dot and line of text appear on the to-do list. A few seconds later, I was at the edge of a town… and screams were coming from somewhere near town center.

"Guys… when I came back from… wherever. Do you think… I didn't come back alone?"

'Well, you were put in stasis when both you and the creature were hit by that energy. It is quite possible that she came back as well.' I sighed, and told them to prepare for a fight. I ran to where the screams were coming from, and lo and behold, there was the black bitch, cackling as she held the throat of a guard in gold armor… that only covered the crotch, chest, and head. The rest was just… out there.

'This place must not be that big on the nudity in public rule.' I thought, looking around and… yep, all of them were wearing the bare essentials. 'This place is a horny guy's dream.' I thought before shaking it away. "HeY! ReMEmBeR Me!?" I shout, making her freeze before she turns to me, a death glare in her eyes.

"You… I will kill you… but not now… no, I'm tired from imprisoning my sister on her sun. For now, you may live." With that, she threw the guard at me, who I swiftly caught, and turned into a black miasma before flying away. I would have run after her if I wasn't so tired myself. I felt hungry, incredibly so.

'God, is this what Barry felt when he didn't eat enough?' I thought as I wavered in place a bit.

"Hey, are you okay?" Came the scratchy voice of a female. I looked up, and saw a light blue woman with wings and rainbow hair and tail talking to me as she hovered besides me. She wore nothing but a sports top and very short shorts.

"YeAH… wELl, noT REalLy. I nEEd fOoD, a LoT oF iT." I say, my stomach making a loud gurgling noise.

"Then here, try some of my super delicious nutrient packed cupcakes!" Said a cheery pink woman with a poofy darker pink mane and tail. While on a bit of the chubby side, she was quite adorable nonetheless. She wore a yellow apron with some striped white and blue shorts. She offered me what looked to be a normal cupcake. I gratefully took it and made the front of my mask disperse enough to reveal my mouth. Some of them gasped, those that were looking at me that is. I quickly ate the cupcake nonetheless, and almost immediately I felt back to my old self.

"WOw! I FEel gReaT! ThANks!" I say, giving the pink woman a smile which she happily accepted.

"So the story is true… your Godspeed… aren't you." Said a woman with indigo hair that had a pink highlight in the middle. I nod, the mask forming back into place. "Do you know how to defeat Nightmare Moon?" I sigh and shake my head.

"FrOm wHAt ThAt wHiTE wiNGeD HoRNed laDy ToLd mE, NiGHtmAre MooN' is nOtHinG mORe tHAn hER siStEr BeiNg PoSsESseD bY soMe KinD oF DemOn. At LEaSt, tHat'S mY uNDerSTanDinG of iT. ShE uSeD tHEsE siX cRysTaLS tO Do… sOMetHiNG." The purple woman gasped, and ran away.

"SeEMs liKE shE knOWs soMEthiNg wE dOn'T." I thought out loud as I began to follow her, along with 5 other women. Soon enough we arrived at a large tree that was also a library. As we stepped inside, books were being thrown around as the woman looked for something in particular. Sighing, I went into Flash Time and ran around, picking up books and placing them back where they belong. When I was done I resumed normal time. All they saw was a blur and white lightning going back and forth over the shelfs.

"AlRigHT, sTaRT TalKiNg. YoU kNOw sOmeThiNG, dOn'T yOu? AnD iF yoU dO, yOU nEEd tO sHaRE wiTH thE cLaSs." The purple pony froze before taking a shaky sigh then bowing.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Let me explain. I'm Twilight Sparkle, protegé of Princess Celestia. 1000 years ago, you and Nightmare Moon were banished to the moon by Princess Celestia, using the Elements of Harmony. I believe that I can use the Elements to defeat her again. But I can't find a book about-" I ran behind her and picked a book off the shelf. I opened the book and sped read through the entire thing from front to back.

"WheW! AlriGhT, I hAvE tHiS enTiRe tHinG fOr abOUt 10 miNUteS. WhAt dO yOU nEEd to kNOw?" They all stared at me like I had grown a second head.

"B- but… how…" Twilight said, looking between me and the book. I rolled my eyes and snapped my fingers, bringing her attention back to me. I made a 'get on with it' motion with my hand and she nodded, blushing. "Right, sorry. Uh, what are the Elements of Harmony?"

"ThE chEmiCaL cOmpOUnD thEY aRe mAdE oF is UnKnoWn. ThEiR oRigiNS arE aLsO uNKnoWN. HoWevER, thErE 6 EleMEntS, GeNerOSitY, HoNeStY, KiNDnEss, LaUghTeR, aND LoYaLTy. The 6tH elEmEnt iS unKnOWn aS CelEsTia hAs HiDdEn iT." I quickly respond, placing the book back on the shelves.

"Do you at least know where they are? The first 5 Elements of Harmony?" I nod, and point in the direction of what I now know to be, the Everfree Forest.

"YeS, I waS acTuaLlY JuSt tHeRe. It's iN tHe CasTlE in tHe EveRfRee." They gulp, looking at each other.

"Darling, no offense, but are you sure? The Everfree… it's quite frankly, the most dangerous forest in the world." Said a white horned woman with dark purple hair in large curls. She actually wore a lot more than the others. She wore a white Sundress that ended just above her hooves and had a purple purse on her left side with a strap going across her body to her right shoulder.

"AnD wHaT maKeS iT sO DaNGerOuS?" I ask, leaning against a wall in a relaxed way.

"The weather moves all on its own." Said the rainbow haired woman.

"There's an evil enchantress, who curses all that run into her." The pink woman responded.

"And legend says that all who enter, never come out alive." Said an orange woman with blond hair… and was completely naked. The only clothing she had was a hat. And that pretty much confirms my theory on their nudity taboo. Maybe the poorer they were, the less clothes they wore. Either way, she was naked… and had some thick thighs. Jesus, she could kill a person with those things. What the fuck did she do to get legs like that?

"WelL… I calL buLLshiT. I mEan, I caMe oUt aLiVe, aND sO DiD NigHTmaRe MoON. ThE tHinGS abOUt LegEnDs, moST haVe bEEn tWiStEd frOM aGe." I say, standing up and walking to the door. "NoW Let'S GeT a MoVe oN." I turn and look at them. "But BefORe we Go, wHaT aRe yOuR naMEs?" The first one to respond was the rainbow haired woman.

"I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest pegasus in Equestria… though when it comes to the fastest pony, I have to admit, you're the fastest." She says, a bit boastful at first but becoming humble afterwards. The next one up was the pink woman.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! And when we get back, I'm throwing you a 'Welcome to Equestria' party!" She giggled before bouncing out the door.

"Sorry about her Sugarcube, she's just… Pinkie being Pinkie. You get used to it after a while. Anyway, I'm Applejack. Proud owner of Sweet Apple Acres. Pleasure to meet you Godspeed." She took my hand and I was glad I was fast enough to keep up with her strong and fast handshake that probably would have left most sore from it.

"I'm Rarity Belle, but most just call me Rarity~" That… that was as seductive as you can get. She blinked rapidly up at me with half lidded eyes, a seductive smile on her face, and she pretty much rubbed her thigh against my crotch area with a leg. She had also run a hand from my left shoulder to my right, removing a finger after a small bit until just the index finger remained which then was removed after she went out the door.

At that moment, I was glad I was wearing a suit. The next one was a butter yellow winged woman with long silky pink hair. She also wore nothing. This left her thick thighs and large breasts for all to see. Yet, with how shy she was, instead of the feeling I got from Rarity, I wanted to protect her. Like she was the only innocent being left in the world. "H- Hi. I'm… Fluttershy."

"It iS a PleASuRe to mEeT YoU." I said, giving a small bow which made her blush then rush out the door. Yep, definitely a shy one.

"And as I said before, I'm Twilight Sparkle. Thank you for helping us Godspeed. I just hope that we can stop Nightmare Moon soon." Twilight said, looking up at the night sky.

"Me ToO." I said, a lot more worried than she was.


Author's Note

So this story is also going to have elements of an RGRE, and as I'm sure you've read, there is going to be a lot of awkward moments in the future. And yet, we still don't know the name of the protagonist. Let me know what you think his name will be.
