Blazin Lights: (Episode 1) The Origin

One year has passed since my sixteenth birthday, and it was the beginning of winter break. I heard a loud banging noise from the front door. At first, there wasn’t any noise going on, other than the sound of a girl’s voice. It turned out that it was my girlfriend screaming in terror. I opened the door to see Jane in hostage with the most wanted gang members.

“Well, well. If it isn’t the infamous Lewis,” some dude with a revolver had said.

“Help...” Jane tried to call out for help, but another member from the group had to force her mouth shut.

“Quiet you,” another member had said.

“What do you want?!” I yelled.

He laughed in a teasingly manner, “We were hoping if you could do us a favor. I’m giving you the gun in order for her to be executed.”

“What?!”

“That’s right! We want her dead for sure. If you successfully kill her, you would be one of us. If you refuse to do that...” he grinned then said, “...there will be consequences coming your way! So don’t be a runt! Be a man!”

“I don’t want to die,” she said then cried.

It was a hard choice for me to pick. I had no idea what to do. Suddenly, I felt something growing out of my back.

He got a little bit impatient about how long I have to decide, so he said, “What are you waiting for?! Kill the girl!”

My friends ran out from the park to watch what’s about to happen. I continued to feel pain from my back. Something had started to grow, and the back of my shirt had ripped. Jane and her friends couldn’t even believe what happened to me. I got my very own pair of pegasus wings.

“What the,” the guy with the revolver had no idea what’s going on.

Jane was in full excitement and said, “You’ve got wings!”

“I know,” I said with bravery.

I flew up in the air to see what’s like flying for the first time. The next thing I’ve done was save Jane from execution, and have the gang’s weapons taken away. It was similar to that one experience when I suffered near-death. All of the members ran away like cowards. My friends down there were full of joy when I flew for the first time.

She gave me a kiss and said, “I knew you would save me.”

As soon as I landed near the high school, my friends rushed toward us to see if we were alright. Jane and the others had cheered for me. Danny had complemented that I was the hero of Watauga County. Emily said that listening to the Elements of Harmony made me become a better pony. But still, there came confusion about how they talked to me.

“What’s going on? Why do I have wings on my back?” I asked them.

The cheering went silent, while Jane asked, “Do you remember the whiskey party we celebrated a while back?”

“Of course I remember us having a great time...”

“You know we kept saying weird things, right,” Robert interrupted.

It took me a bit to remember what they said, so I said, “Right. Here’s the question. If you guys kept saying these things, what does it all mean then?”

My friends thought about what to say next, so Laura had said these nine words, “It’s time that we would reveal our real identities.”

“Let me get this straight. Y’all are not from planet Earth?” I asked them.

“That’s right. You’re not from earth as well,” Emily responded.

“I know that for sure, but the only thing I don’t know is...”

“...where you came from,” Danny had finished my sentence.

“Guess what? All of us are from Equestria,” Ellie had stated.

They showed me pictures of their real selves, including their real names. I got a picture of what I’m supposed to look like.

“These photos are in chronological order,” said Jane with a smile, then she said, “The Elements of Harmony you’re learning would mean a lot to us.”

It started to feel like all of this was a nightmare, except that it was all real.

I started to freak out by saying, “What have you done to me?!”

“Nothing. Learning the elements are a good thing. It would turn you back into a pony. Your mind will be all clean when you learn all of them,” Jane replied.

“Blaze. Listen to us. We came to planet Earth to save you. The princesses had sent us down here, because you are our last hope of defeating Tirek,” said Danny.

Ellie had stepped up, then she said, “He’s right! You’ve been communicating to humans for way too long. It’s time for you to return to Equestria.”

Ocellus (Emily) used her magic to turn themselves back into their own forms. She gave Silverstream (Jane) a potion to turn me back into a pegasus. All of them blinked their eyes, but I disappeared within half a second. How did I disappear that fast? It was all simple, by having an ability to fly at ludicrous speed.

When they opened their eyes, they had to let Silverstream know that I disappeared. The search party has begun. I went to the bar to drink with a drummer. He asked me on why I have a a pair of wings, but I changed the subject on him. The band that he was in had broke up.

Samuel walked in, and he said, “There you are Lewis. There’s a limo waiting for you outside.”

I got confused on what’s going on, so I asked, “Where are you taking me?”

“You’ll find out when we get there,” he replied.

As I went outside of the bar, there were two guys who guarded the limousine. One of them had opened the door for me to get in.

“Afternoon Lewis,” one member from the Navy had said.

He gave me a gentle handshake as I went in the limousine.

“Sargent Davis. We’re glad to have you join us.”

Samuel had shut the door, while he went to another limousine. I turned on the T.V to see a news headline about a universe invading our home planet. Sargent Davis offered me a cigarette, but I passed on the offer. He told the driver to start driving. As soon as we drove away, he wanted me to hear Samuel’s phone call.

Twelve minutes later, my friends showed up to the bar. I left the tracker on the stool. Ocellus used a spell to go back a few minutes before they arrived. She looked at the GPS to find out where I went. Then she went back to her friends to figure out a plan.

The Ponyville Daily newspaper had published the final article. Lots of ponies thought about what happened to me. Some ponies thought that I took it off for others to not know about my life. What’s even worse? Tirek was planning another invasion.

They thought that I died from a car accident. His plan was to take over Equestria, but this time he wanted to rule the world. His army had gotten bigger for the past seventeen years. They’re deadlier than the royal guards at Princess Celestia’s castle. Everypony was in danger of losing their homes.
