My Little Pony Z

Chapter 1 – Calling

A lot of people claim that they had experiences going to Equestria, and having a great time there, whether they had to stop a great evil or just found love there with some pony. I admit that I sort of envy those who had that time there. I’ve wanted to travel to Equestria only to experience the peace and tranquility that harmonize throughout the land. Meeting the Mane Six would be a blessing as well, but the only reason I want to go there, is to escape this world of war, corruption, hate, and conflict. Sure Equestria does have its issues too; however, it’s not as bad as where we are now.

However, out of all the experiences there I could have had there, I had to be cursed with one from the dark realm of nightmares.

It all started a few weeks ago, when I was still a “brony.” Now I put that in quotes because I wasn’t a true brony. The only thing I did was watch the show, and a few times I looked up kinky picture because those times I wasn’t thinking with my head (if you know what I mean). I also read the creepypastas like “Rainbow Factory” and “Cupcakes” because I can never turn down a good creepypasta. I guess I was in one of my “phases” where I get to like a show, and expand my liking of it through research and other combining it with other interests I have.

I’m way too off-track. Anyway, I just got off the bus from school, and I wanted to get inside my house to escape the cold weather. It was heavily snowing all day and the clouds were covering the sky with a grey shadow. The sun did now shine all day, like foreboding something. As I got inside from the chilling weather, I immediately locked the door behind me.

Now before I move on, I feel like I need to explain something. At the time (and even to this day) I had a serious psychosis issue. I always felt like I was being watched and I just felt some weird presence everywhere I went. The only thing I could do about it was just watch me slowly go insane from this issue. However, today, I do know how to control it, but at the time, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t tell anyone about my condition, thinking that they would call me crazy or just ignore me.

After I put my backpack on the ground, I walked down into the basement, which was my room as well. My parents weren’t home yet, so I had the whole house to myself for three hours. What better way to enjoy those three hours, by checking my YouTube account for any new messages. I was actually growing slowly popular by each day. I didn’t do any videos of cute or silly things. I was the one of those people who read creepypasta and uploaded it to YouTube. I guess I was just influenced a lot by another YouTuber who also read creepypasta.

I was actually surprised when I saw my inbox; I had received a new private message. Oh great, another Sub4Sub message or some raging religionist who wants me to join their way of worship. Screw all those people who do those kinds of things. It’s not good and no one will join or listen to them; it’s just annoying as hell.

However, what I read was nothing like that. In fact, it was very disturbing in some way.

Dear Alex,
You probably won’t believe me when I say this, but I am a princess who dearly needs your assistance with something. I came to notice you a while ago, when I heard from our “spies” that you watch “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” and read a lot of scary stories that I’ve been told have been called, creepypasta.
I have chosen you to help me, because you have been exposed to horror of greater magnitude than what I am currently facing. Such bravery is needed in the task I require you to aid me in. Your watching and research of the show as well, have made you irresistible candidate.
I don’t have much time to explain anymore, for I am running out of time myself.

What the hell was this? I didn’t understand it at all. Plus, how did this person know my name, as well as the fact that I watch “My Little Pony?” I honestly didn’t know what to do, and I felt like someone was watching me or something. I tried to shrug it off as being part of my psychosis; however I was too scared to try. I had to know who this person was, so I hit the “reply” button at the bottom; big mistake.

As I clicked that button, my eyes started to numb up, and my vision blurred until everything was completely white as snow. I then felt the sensation of me being lifted up from my chair, as well as a breeze blowing across my face and my long hair. I was shocked and scared at what was going on. I tried to rub my eyes, thinking it would help clear my vision; however I couldn’t move my hands to do so. I couldn’t even move my body from the position I was in currently.

A few seconds later, I finally felt my vision come back slowly, and I felt my body lain on a floor. It took me a few seconds to get up, however when I did, I finally saw my surroundings. I was in some kind of room with a single glass window looking out onto the lands beyond. I had the sudden urge to go over and look out and try to piece where I was, however another part of my brain wanted me to stay, fearing whatever may be out there. However the room itself was had odd décor; it looked like I was inside the Cinderella Castle at Disney World. But there was still one question in my head; how the hell did I get here? I took a step forward to examine the room further, however I almost tripped over something…no, not something, SOMEONE!

I looked down, and I was shocked. There, on the ground, lay my friend, Matt.

What was he doing here? How did he get here like me? Questions just raced through, however before I could react, Matt’s eye’s opened, and I could see the surprise in his face as we met eye to eye. He got up on his feet quickly.

“Alex, what are you doing here?” he asked.

Before I could respond saying I didn’t know, I saw his eyes wander around the room.

“W-where are we?” I asked.

“I don’t know! I was sending a text to Pinky (Matt’s nickname for our friend, Taylor) when all of the sudden I got some weird email on my computer saying this ‘PC’ person needs my help!”

And that was the first time, I had ever known that Matt had an email; however, that wasn’t the point. I was about to say that I got the same message in my YouTube inbox, however before I could utter the first word, two “things” came into the room. Matt and I both stared, for we knew what they were. Standing in front of us, were two large ponies dressed in golden armor; they were royal guards of Princess Celestia from what I could remember. I just stood there in complete silence with a stupid look on my face, for I was facing two, real, walking, living ponies of the Royal Guard of Celestia herself. I never thought I would see and actual pony, from the show, with my own two eyes, however, there they were!

I didn’t know how to describe the feeling I had. I mixed with shock and excitement at the same time. And at that moment, I finally knew where I was. Matt and I were in Equestria!

“Come with us” one guard demanded.

My brain seemed to not do what I wanted to do, which was question the guard about where we were. Instead, I followed the guard’s orders, and so did Matt as I saw him next to me. For the next minute or so, we walked down the large halls of, what I thought was Canterlot Castle. I had an urge to ask the guards questions, however I couldn’t build up enough courage to do so, for every time I opened my mouth, my mind went blank.

Soon, the guards directed us to enter a room, in which the entrance was all decorated with gems and other shiny metals. I was about to enter, when all of the sudden, the guard put his hoof in from of me for a second.

“Talk only when spoken to. She’s very ill.”

I somehow knew he was talking about Princess Celestia. He put his hoof back down and allowed me to enter. However just as I was about to, I turned around to see guards directing two more men to us. One of them was a Notch-look-alike; I mean, he had the beard, he had the size, he was like a twin, but yet he was skinnier. The second looked similar to my other friend, Jake, however I knew it wasn’t him.

As I walked inside this great room, I turned around and put my hand over my mouth in horror. On a bed, was the great Princess Celestia herself, however, things were different. She was very sick, and there were two spots in which blood was bleeding through bandages that were placed on the injured areas. She was breathing heavily, and I saw that she struggled trying to lift her head up.

The other three guys joined me around her bedside as she lifted her head to take a look at all of us. She then put her head back down on her pillow, sometimes coughing. For the next minute or so, there was silence. I looked over at the other guys, but they just looked like they were in a trance. I saw the terror they had in their eyes, and I couldn’t bear to look at Matt, who was on the verge of tears. Matt was always sensitive, but I never knew his actual limit. I opened my mouth to say something; however my veins coursed with blood, afraid of what might happen if I did so. After all, the guard did tell me to speak only when spoken to. But I didn’t care; I just wanted to know what the hell was going on. I suddenly broke the silence.

“Why are we here?” was my only question I could come up with at that moment.
The other three guys turned their attention slowly towards me. I swear I could almost feel Matt’s breath on my neck. Celestia then closed her eyes and gave a smile.

“I was waiting for someone to talk” she said.
I didn’t know whether to bow, or to give a proper American greeting by saying my name. But before I could think, Celestia replied.

“I have chosen you four for a task that even I cannot accomplish.”
Celestia then twitched and groaned with pain, in which one of the guys almost lunged to assist her, but he suddenly resisted the tempt. The allicorn goddess then lifted her head off the bed, groaning in pain with each movement of her neck she made.

“You see, a while ago, Discord escaped his prison once again, and now smarter than before, he hid the Elements of Harmony better than before, and thus, when my six little ponies tried to stop his reign of chaos again, they failed. Oh, they failed horribly.”
I noticed she said the last sentence in a saddened tone.

“What happened to them?” asked the man who looked like Notch.

“He used a stronger form of chaos this time, and turned five ponies. However, it was more difficult for him to turn my student, Twilight Sparkle. In which, he used a spell that he never knew he had. It was a terrible curse.”
When Celestia finished the last sentence, her coughing became violent, and she coughed up blood. One of the guys rushed over to help her; however she insisted that he didn’t need to help her, in which he stepped back.

“He created a terrible green mist that did a very bad thing to Twilight. I don’t know what exactly happened, but all I can say is that, she went crazy, attacking her other friends. Discord couldn’t believe what he made, for he realized that he could use this green mist to make…zombie ponies.”
Everyone’s face had the look of terror upon them. I could also notice that the other guy who looked like my friend Jake was breathing faster than before.

“I-I was infected by the mist, that spread from Ponyville, to Canterlot, to all over Equestria.”

“But what do you want us to do?” the Notch look alike said.

“T-t-the mist only affects ponies from what we know. Animals have not been afflicted as of yet, so since there’s no one here brave enough to save Equestria, we decided to summon four humans who had the courage to do so.”

“But what are we supposed to fight them with?” I asked.

“We have used as much power as we could have to summon weapons that you humans use, to Equestria. They are now being held in our armory.”

“However, along the way, we’ve also summoned weird machines that came with the guns. We tried summoning them back; however we didn’t have enough power to do so” a guard stated.

Strange machines huh? I was literally hoping that these machines were like super mechs equipped with rockets that we could use to blow hordes of these zombie ponies away, but again, I didn’t let my imagination get the best of me. Besides, I had no idea what weapons they brought here. I at least hoped that they weren’t like 12th century weapons.
Celestia looked weaker than ever as she coughed up more blood. A guard then came in and said that there was another outside who would direct us towards the armory to get our weapons. We were about to leave when Celestia stopped us.

“B-before you go, I will give the last remaining power I have. It could come to use.”

Her horn then sparkled and it sent waves of a white essence that went through our bodies into our hearts. I could feel the cool air in my body build up, as well as my heart being “calmer” than it was before. The guard then told us get out, and so we did. I was the last one to exit, and as I turned around one last time, I saw Celestia give her last, sour breath, until she lay on her bed motionless. To be honest, I shed a single tear for her.

I knew that we were summoned here to be faced with a nightmare. I knew that this wasn’t the last we’d see of the great Princess Celestia. She was counting on the four of us to save Equestria from this disaster. So that moment I saw her die, I vowed to myself that I would not let her down, and that I would free the world from this destructive plague, and that her death was not in vain. I vowed that Discord would die.
