Jack pov

I stood over the graveyard I'd filled over the last ten years. All for the purpose to which I dedicated my life’s path to avenge my family, friends, lover, and unborn child, who were all taken from being by a large-scale group of thugs and outlaws. A group killed the wrong people who didn’t own the land they so desperately wanted, all for a river and gold. My dark brown hair fell into my face as I turned away from the gravestone.

“Jack?!"

I pulled my right revolver out halfway, recognized the voice the second time, and reholstered the gun.

"You haven’t been here for three years.”

I looked to the right and saw the gravedigger Mark with flowers for his wife, who was also killed by the group. I tipped my great grandfather's hat then turned to walk again, but he stopped me once more.

“It wasn’t your fault Jack. You fought them as hard as you could that day; we all did.”

I stayed silent as he spoke to me, then turned to look at him. He sighed, then pulled a few flowers he had and placed them on the ground in front of him.

“Place them on their grave, Jack. You haven’t placed flowers there since their death or spoken a word to any of us in the ten years you’ve been gone. Don’t you think it's time to move on?”

I opened my mouth and uttered only one word. “No,” My voice was raspy from so long, but that is all I need to say. However, I picked up the flowers and then walked over to my wife and child's grave. I got on my knees then placed the flowers right in front of the only tombstone in the graveyard. Covered in the stone was her name. Sandra Marshall, wife to Jack Marshall, a Loving wife, and dutiful wife. Gone but not forgotten. I looked at the gravestone and felt a tear run down my face from the grief I never let myself let go of. ‘I didn't even mourn them before I went after them.’

"You're in the town's preys, Jack. Know no matter what, you will always have a place to come back to and call home."

I whipped my eyes, then stood up and took my hat off, and held it to my chest. I said a quick prayer for my wife and the child. I put my cap back on, then walked away back to the wastelands to the north. 'Hm, maybe I should buy more ammo before going home.' I stopped halfway to town, and my house then looked down the road to town. I hadn't stepped foot there since I left to hunt down the group who took my reason for living away. I blinked and shook my head and walked down the road to town. My boots crushed the dry dirt as I walked down the dusty road-ready for anyone who thinks they could gun me down. Five minutes later, I walked into town, and everyone stopped and looked at me.

"Is that, Jack?”

“Ya, it is!”

I tipped my hat to a few of the people who remembered me. A few, however, looked ready to get into a gunfight with me to test their skills. As I walked, I heard the sound of thunder in the distance. Many looked at me as if I was a bad omen to the town. I huffed then walked up to the store and saw a large carrying bag sitting on a stand with a letter from Peter, the store owner. I took the bag and felt the weight of the contents, then opened it up. Inside was another bag I knew held eighty bullets from the past business. There was a wool blanket; leather-gloves that matched my leather coat. I put them on and flexed my hands a few times to see how well they fit my hands. They were a little big on me, and I sighed then put them back into the bag. The last thing in the bag was a bag with the word seeds written on the side. I opened the bag to see what kind of seeds were inside. I saw both tobacco and cotton on the inside. 'Um, that man is just giving me some of the most expansive things in his store.' I closed the bag, then closed the large carrying bag and looked at the letter from Peter. I took my pocket knife out and cut the top. I pulled the paper out then started to read it.

'All your debts were paid when you avenged my sons. My wife and I will always be here to help you when you need us, Jack. You have faced the worst life can throw at you and walked away alive. I know you had to have suffered when your wife and child were murdered before your eyes. Know that our door is always opened to you, and I hope you will one day find some measure of peace in your life.'

I smiled, then folded the paper in half and put it into the envelope, then spoke lowly. ‘Thank you, Peter.’ I pulled my coat forward then placed the letter into a pocket I had inside my coat. I tied the bag up with a bit of rope I had on my side then threw it over my shoulder then walked away from the storefront as storm clouds started to roll in with strong winds blowing. I then pulled the rope and then began to walk down the dirt road to my old home with the rain beginning to hit my back. I pushed my hat down harder as the rain came down hard. About halfway from my house, the wind suddenly kicked up, and the rain started beating down around me. "What is with this storm!?"

"Twilight... stop!"

I heard a voice and looked around, trying to find that voice.

"No... Pinkie, you can’t use that!"

I heard the voice again, then a circle with a massive star with six small ones formed in the sky above me. A beam of light shot down as I tried to run. But, the light trapped me and formed a wall around me. I backed up and drew my right revolver, then fired two rounds into the wall. They just vanished, no burned when they hit it.

"What was that!?"

"I don't know, but the spell is about to active get back!"

I started to float off the ground then started to go faster as the circle began to speed rapidly. I started to panic as I was pulled up into the storm.

"Twilight, we got to get back before something happens!" Twilight opened her wings then jumped away as the summoning circle grew brighter and brighter. I tried to look into it, and I could swear to Celestia I saw a pony appearing in the center star.

"Is somepony in that Circle!?"

I heard Rainbow as the spell forced Twilight's castle to shake. I looked into the circle, and she was right; a large pony was forming in the circle. Then a ball of magic built around the pony as the spell finish, I think. But, I was wrong as the ball suddenly shot out through a window and headed for the forest. We all looked at the window as Twilight looked out the hole in the wall.

"That wasn't supposed to happen, not at all."

The rest of us walked over and looked out the hole. The ball crashed into the forest and left a large trench in the trees. The orb vanished, and we all looked at one another. "Twi, I think the Princess needs to hear about this now."

"Right, the rest of you go and see if you can find the pony that was in the orb. He or she could be hurt badly."

"Y'all heard the mare. Let's move!" I waved for the girls to come on, and we let the castle for the forest.

I felt myself lying on the ground as I started to wake up. I opened my eyes and saw I was in a forest with twisted trees. I begin to get to my feet, then slipped and landed on my ass. I tried to move my foot to see if it was hurt, then I noticed I couldn't feel my toes.l didn’t feel my toes or feet, so I looked down at them. My boots and feet were gone; in their place were two large hoofs. I sat up and touched the hoofs and felt my hand on them, which made me a little worried about myself. I tried to stand, but I lost my balance and fell back down, and hit something on my head. I reached up and helped something hard and pointy on my head. If I had to guess, it was about a foot long and would be about as wide as a quarter at the top of my skull. I moved a hand down but stopped when I saw it. My hand's tain skin was covered in an ashy black fur and doubled in size; then I noticed how tight my shirt was around my arm. I tried getting up again to see what the rest of my body had become, and I felt something on my back dragging on the ground. I turned my head as far as I could to see what was on my back. To my shock, there was a set of large black wings on my back which had tore through my leather coat and shirt. I looked a little farther back, saw my hat about ten feet away from me next to a stream. I slow and unsteady walked over to my hat, then fell when I tried to reach down and grab it. When I landed, I smacked my face into the ground and grunted as I picked myself back from the ground. I looked at myself in the water and saw a horse face looking back. I ran a hand over my face and saw the reflection do the same. With that, I had finally seen everything as I grabbed my hat and put it on. ‘Ok, I must have hit my head on something, or maybe I’ve finally lost it!’

“Hello!”

I turned my head and grabbed one of my guns with I was glad to feel still hit well in my hand. I stood up and led on a tree next to the steam. I moved to the tree was and hid as I held my gun up, ready to shot. I took a deep breath and slowly turned my head to see who was there. I think two women walked out and from the trees with bodies a lot like my own. She was a bright pinkie with large blue eyes. She had on a dress over a yellow striped shirt with some shorts on, I think.

I looked over to the other one. She was tall, maybe as tall as I was, but she had wings on her back. She showed even more skin, fur? Whatever she had a very well tone body, one would get from years of work. She had large green or teal eyes.

“Do you see anything Fluttershy?”

The tall mare opened her wings and took to the air. My eyes widened, and I quickly moved deeper into the shadows then put the gun back in my holster. ‘I need to slip by them and find out what is going on.' I moved slowly and as quietly. I started to go around them then get a sound. I stopped when I heard a stick snap in front of me, and I saw a wolf made of wood jumped from the tree line. It charged the two scared women. I pulled my right side revolver and jumped from the bush I was hiding in. I shoot a few rounds into the things head and chest. It dropped down to the ground, green blood coming from the wounds, then it hit me. I showed myself, and the two of them looked at me. I tried to push my hat down, but the horn on my head stopped it. I just stood back up and holstered my revolver before turning away from them.

“S-sir!”

I ignored them as I walked back over to the water then picked up my bag. I looked back at them then nodded my head before starting to walk away. ‘Don’t try and stop me.’

“Girls!”

I looked up at the sky and saw another flying woman with a damn rainbow head of hair. Two more came out from the trees under her. I frowned, seeing them all around me, but I couldn’t kill them. I tried to take a step back but stopped when I looked at the orange one. My eyes widened as I looked at her. I thought I was looking at Sandra until I shook my head a little then looked at her again. Her body was a lot like Sandra's, but her eyes were emerald green instead of sky blue.

"Hey, this guy has wings and a horn!"

I turned to look at the pink one but held someone jumped onto my back. Out of instinct, I grabbed whoever it was, and through them. The Pink girl grabbed hold of my arm, her legs wrapped around it with one hand holding my wrist. She whipped her forehead with a hand.

"That was close another second, and I'd gotten hurt!"

I grabbed her leg then turned quickly, making her let go of my arm. I threw her to the ground, then drew my left revolver. I pulled the hammer back, but the Orange one grabbed hold of my arm. I looked at her as she struggled to make me move. I holstered the gun as she kept trying to make me move. ‘Well, let me see what they did when I walked away.’ I pinched her arm, and she let go as I started to walk away again.

“GET HIM!”

They all jumped at me, and I blinked. ‘Well, this is a surprise.’
