Prologue: Something Lost.

"Nooooo!" Dash wailed as she pounded the stone floor cracking it as she fought to see her surroundings through a vail of tears. Her shuddering continued even as Fluttershy draped a wing around her friend for comfort. Dash gave her friend a look of pure anguish.

"Wh-wh-" Her voice quivered with fear as she tried to give her fractured thoughts time to compose themselves. Steeling her resolve she took a deep breath and took stock of their situation.

"Flutters what are we going to do?" She asked as the two mares say there surrounded by a pool of tears. Fluttershy to took her time composing her thoughts. When she felt more at ease she gave her friend a look of pure determination, her eyes blazing with a crimson fury.

"We hunt those bastards down and kill them. Slowly, painfully, and then we get our human back." She said as she took to her magic using some of John's leftover blood, began to weave a spell into the very air itself.

Earth, 4/19/2020.

1 YEAR LATER.

John sat at his desk, blankly starring off into nothingness as his thoughts dwelled on his current WIP.

"Perfect time to be unemployed." He studied his computer monitor, trying to get his thoughts down on paper. Letting out a sigh he slumped back into his chair and simply stared at his hand.

"Hard to believe it's only been a year now." He mumbled to himself as he flexed the muscles in his arm, feeling the tendons contract causing his hand to form into a fist.

4/14/2019.

John looked around the hospital room in pure disbelief.

" But it's the truth!" He stated as the doctor shook his head.

"No son it wasn't." He sighed as he rubbed his temples.

"It was merely a hallucination brought about from cranial trauma and then oxygen deprivation all of which was the result of your unfortunate accident." The doctor sighed once more as he placed a hand on John's shoulder.

"Look, I know you've been through a lot lately. You've had a horrific accident and you've been in a comatose state for a little over a year now. You need to give your brain and body time to heal." The doctor gave John a soft smile.

"You'll get through this son, trust me I've seen my fare share of miracles around here. Just give it time." His last piece of advice administered the doctor took one last look at his patient's chart and stepped out ofthe room, leaving John to ponder his words.

John just let out a grunt as he thought about his ride awakening.

"Tsk, fucking prick couldn't tell his mouth from his asshole." He grumbled as he saved his work and shut his laptop down for the day. Giving his limbs a stretch he stole a glance at his clock and chuckled.

"7:59" He looked at the darkness outside and let out a yawn.

"Ahhhh, time for bed." He declared to the air as he stepped outside of his room and wandered into the living room. He stopped at the threshold and watched as his parents laughed at a comedian performing on the TV.

"I will part your legs like the red sea! Then I will lower my draw bridge and introduce you to the queen! When you are about to go over the edge shout Victory. Victory! My job is done here." John let out a hearty chuckle at Gabriel's joke and as soon as his parents laughter died down they both gave him a beaming smile.

"Hey son. How's it going?" His mother asked.

Hey Ja-" He caught himself and took a deep breath. "Mom." His stomach twisted into knots as he briefly flashed back to Fluttershy's radiant smile and motherly tone. He shook his head to clear away the unwanted reminders of his sick mind.

"So is this something new from Fluffy or?" He trailed off as he looked back towards the TV. His father gave him a nod as he paused the show.

"This is one of his older shows but it's still good." He said as John just gave them both a nod. I looked over to the kitchen and jabbed his thumb over to the fridge.

"Finally got some writing done. Going to get something to eat." He said as he made his way over to the fridge and grabbed a slice of pizza.

"Anyone else want a piece?" He asked as he took a pepperoni pizza out and waved it about the kitchen. Both of his parents shook their heads.

"Nope. Just got through eating a salad dear." His mother said as she got up and headed and reached over the couch to grab bottle of water. His father gave him a wave of the hand.

"No thanks son. Still trying to digest your mothers tacos." He chuckled as he let out a rather loud fart that had his wife wrinkle her nose and gag.

"Honey!" She chastised him as she began to fan the air around her.

"Did you have to go and defile the living room like that!?" She asked as she got tired of fanning the air and instead turned on the fan.

"John honey can you please go and open the back door. We need to get a draft going. Clear the air out." His mother begged as John Jr, & Sr both laughed.

"Ok mom, will do." John said as he stepped over the dogs and opened the backdoor.

Equestria, 4/19/1002.

Twilight wanted nothing more than to be happy. In the last year her brother had been married and her friends had been saved equestria from yet another ancient evil. Now however a whole new kingdom had suddenly just appeared in the frozen north. And still after all of these and other issues that had popped up all over equestria she still had only received a few sparse letters from two of her freinds who practically vanished off the face of Equis after a mysterious wave of magic surged throughout the world, with its focal point being the vary seat of equestrian power. Needless to say the royal sisters were quick to act setting their best investigators on the case. Twilight let out a huff of annoyance and she rolled around in her bed her gaze lingering on a photograph sitting upon her nightstand. She grasped it in her magic and scrutinized it with a critical eye.

"Who are you?" She asked herself as her eye's settled upon the strange bipedal creature kneeling down and giving Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, & Applejack a big hug while Apple Bloom clung to its head like an yellow fuzzy helmet.
