It has been 3 hours since Rogue left the fort he's tiered thirsty and starting to get pissed off, but Rogue had finely see’s the edge of the treeline, when Rogue got there he decide to sit down at the base of a tree to rest for a while. While Rogue was resting under a large oak tree he noticed a cottage not too far from his resting place but Rogue also started feeling something within him, he didn't know what it was but he felt stronger as if something that was previously dormant within him was awakening at a rapid pace.

After 30 minutes of resting Rogue got up and could see a yellow woman with pink hair and a tail “A local why yellow... never mind that she must know the way to town, so I might as well ask,” Rogue said readying his nerves as he started walking towards the cottage. When he got there the woman or at least what Rogue think’s it's a woman, she looks like a cross between a human and a pony with wings, she was wearing a white vest and jeans Rogue cleared his throat getting her attention “Hello miss would you happen to know the way to town?” Rogue asked not sure how she would react.

“Y-yes I know the way just follow the path that way and you will be in town in no time… if you don't mind me asking what is your name?” Fluttershy asked in a whisper.

Rogue got the answers he needed, but the questions caught him off guard “Well I got turned around in the forest over there and as for my name, sorry but I don't know if I can trust you so just call me the… Outlander ok,” Rogue answered coming up with a title on the spot and trying his best to sound as friendly as possible. Rogue noticed she has several large and heavy looking bags of animal feed “Do you need help moving those bags?” Rogue asked seeing it as an opportunity to get more information about whereever the hell he ended up.

“A-are you sure they’re very heavy and I wouldn’t want you to get hurt,” Fluttershy said in a whisper again.

“I’m not doing this for free I need basic information about this land, because I’ve never been here before so it’s simple, I help you and you answer any question about this land that comes in to mind deal?” Rogue asked.

“Deal,” Fluttershy answered finely speaking up.

“So where do you want them?” Rogue asked as he walked over and lifted four bags with each arm witch were not as heavy as Rogue expected somehow.

“This way pleas,” Fluttershy answered leading the way around to the other side the cottage surprised that this stranger was so strong, not even Big Mack could lift four bags of feed with one arm.

“So what’s the name of this country or kingdom?” Rogue asked doing his best to keep his eyes off of Fluttershy’s curvy body.

“This country is known as Equestria,” Fluttershy answered as they came to the other side of the cottage that had more than twenty animals rabbits, birds and foxes even a bear “Set the bags here pleas,” Fluttershy said pointing to a spot just in front of a lot of bowls.

“Are all these animals yours?” Rogue asked noticing even more animals coming out of some of the bushes.

“No, all the animals are wild I just care for them when they’re hurt or ill,” Fluttershy answered opening one of the bags and filling the boles.

“So you’re some kind of vet… makes sense I guess the quiet type are normally good with animals,” Rogue said watching the animals act like he wasn’t there “So who’s in charge of this Equestria?” Rogue asked probing for more information while keeping an eye on the more dangerous animals.

“That would be Princess Celestia, Luna, Twilight and Cadence.” Fluttershy answered gently patting a wolf on the head.

“That’s sounds very... complicated and strange, so what kind of money is used here?” Rogue asked as he watched the animal that would normally be a predator ignore what would normally be it's prey in favor of the feed that Fluttershy put in the bowls.

“Equestrian currency is a solid gold coin known as a bit like this,” Fluttershy answered taking a bit from one of her pockets and showing it to Rogue.

“I see… if you don’t mind, what exactly are you, your spices I mean?” Rogue asked suspecting that he already knows what the answer would be.

“I’m a pony, a Pegasus to be specific,” Fluttershy answered extending her wings fully before closing them.

“Are there other types of ponies?” Rogue asked his curiosity now peeked.

“Yes there are a few types actually Erath ponies, Pegasus ponies, Unicorn Ponies, Bat ponies were also recently rediscovered a few years ago and finally Alicorn ponies,” Fluttershy answered explaining how many different types of pony exist in the world.

“I see, well I’ll be on my way now and have a good day,” Rogue said as he walked back around to the front of the cottage and continued in the direction of Ponyvile.

“Good bye and thank you Outlander,” Fluttershy said seeing Rogue off not know the utter chaos that was about to unfold.

After Rogue had finished helping the woman she kept her end of the deal and now Rogue know the name of the land and the names of who is in charge and what type of money was used. Rogue was surprised to find that the woman in the cottage was right about it taking no time to reach the center of the town to his surprise none of locals were looking for more than a second witch meant his cloak is working and keeping eyes off of him.

Rogue found a market street and started asking some more general knowledge questions to venders so he would be able to hide in plain sight, when asked where he was from Rogue would answer with "A far distant land," and in a way that right a very far away land. Rogue just started heading to the next street over when a sky blue mare, with let’s say skittles for a hair wearing a matching blue tracksuit pointed at Rogue and said “Hay you wearing the cloak are you a bad guy?” She shouted for every pony to hear her.

Rogue started to walk towards her, she got into a fighting stance but Rogue just walked past her as if she was not there and she didn’t like it. Because she tried to get in front of Rogue several times but every time he just walked around her, not giving her the time of day or night it gets to a point when she fly’s in front of Rogue and punches him in the gut saying “Take that.”

But Rogue took it like a man “That was uncalled for,” Rogue said as she pulls her arm back to hit him again, but this time Rogue was ready for it, so he cached her fist and quickly puts Rainbow into a position where he could easily dislocate her arm.

“This is the only warning I’m going to give you, try to hit me again and I will defend myself with force by breaking your arms,” Rogue said before releasing Rainbow “I meant what I said, if you hit me again I will hit you back,” Rogue said as he start waking away again Rainbow Dash and a few moments later he get a sharp pain in his back, and roared out in pain “What the fuck is it this time!” Rogue shouted as he turn around on the spot to see a lavender mare, with a horn and wings she was wearing dark jeans and purple vest and her horn was glowing.

Rogue looked past the lavender mare that had just attacked him and sees a white mare wearing a casual white dress with purple hair in a fancy style tending to skittles, who seemed to have some pains in her arm, Rogue return his gaze to the mare in front of him, she says “What did you do to my friend?”

“She hit me first, so I defended myself” Rogue answered and he don't think she liked the answer she got, because she fired the spell aging but time seemed slow down and Rogue pulled out his Lightsaber, and sent her spell into her right shoulder.

As soon as the deflected spell hit Twilight had a similar reaction to Rogue’s “Now you know how I felt when that hit me in the back a moment ago,” Rogue said as Twilight got up and sent another spell and another and another maybe 20 or so, but Rogue sent all of them in different directions “Out of steam already,” Rogue taunted as a smirk crept onto his face, Twilight tried one more but like the rest Rogue’s cyan blade met it and redirected it safely into the sky.

Twilight speaks up and says “I didn't want to use this kind of magic in a populated area, but you leave me no choice,” Rogue put Lightsaber back on the belt clip wondering what she’s was up to but he feel that power within him again but this time it was burning like a raging flame in his flesh blood and bone. Twilight raised a hand and a magic cercal formed in front of her hand and it fired a beam of magic at Rogue. Rogue didn't know why but he raised his hand and his crimson eyes glowed and a similar red beam shot from his hand without a magic circle, and hit Twilight's making an explosion that formed a mushroom cowed over Ponyvile that could be seen for miles.

There is now blazing inferno between Rogue and Twilight, Rogue used this as a distraction to run into an alleyway and think to himself, the power still active in his vines “I need to get out of here,” Rogue said to himself and thought the old fort, and in flash of red light he was back on top of watch tower, from the tower Rogue could see the smoke rising from the town “Well shit,” Rogue said looking at his handy work.
