Invasion of canterlot

1 hour earlier
Silver POV

I was continuing to fade in and out of consciousness for the past 20 minutes now. I could hear lots of loud booms and bangs outside, most likely indicating that the creature that saved me was still alive. I had blacked out again and came to again 5 minutes later when something ear piercingly loud exploded outside, whatever it was, it shook the whole house, knocked everything off the walls, and shattered every window. I could hear a metallic clatter outside and shortly after another minute, another huge bang. Whatever type of weaponry this creature had, was extremely powerful. From where I was currently laying down inside of the building I was in, I had a clear view outside and it seemed that he was using the cannon that he had from earlier. It looked like it functioned similar to our own cannons. He was busy loading it as I watched him take a large shaped projectile and put in first before sliding a large brass cylinder in behind it before closing the loading breach and firing it again. The blast had knocked me out again as it was so powerful. I could still hear the fighting outside as he continued to use his very powerful and advanced weapons against the onslaught of changelings. I had come to once again for a short while and saw him climbing in the back of his carriage and got ready to use another one of his weapons again only to get tackled out of it by a changeling. I watched hopelessly as the creature got stabbed multiple times before he pulled out his own, larger knife and stabbed the changeling in the neck. After he got up, He pulled out another smaller weapon from some sort of holster on his leg and fired it three times at the changeling that had attacked him before he put it back and pulled out the larger weapon again.

10 minutes later

Something had happened that finally put an end to the fighting. A pink wave of magic had rapidly expanded from somewhere in the castle and blasted away the remaining changelings to the farthest reaches of Equestria. Even though I couldn't open my eyes, I could hear him doing something. It sounded like he was bandaging something up as I heard stretching and tearing that sounded exactly like that of a medical bandage being used. I heard the door open up and listened to him walk closer to me, I'm guessing that he was most likely examining me to determine what to do with me. I heard him walk away into another room and open something up and started scooping something up. I could hear him walk back in a minute later over to where I was and then felt something very cold touch my face. They felt like ice packs which is what I'm assuming is what they were. I could hear him pull up a chair next to me and sit down, most likely he was going to wait until I fully regained consciousness again.

10 minutes later

I finally had enough strength to sit up and move around freely again. I moved to take the Ice off of my face but the creature that had saved me spoke up as soon as I did."Hey, Hey hey hey hey hey, Easy now, easy. You've been out for almost 45 minutes now. You took a pretty bad beating back there when I found and you could possibly have a concussion from how many hits you took." He said. I seemed to be genuinely concerned for me as he was looking me over to make sure I was alright. "Who...are you? and where are we right now?" I asked while sitting up all the way. "The names Dakota Rodriguez, I'm the otherworldly being that saved you from certain death earlier, and we are in a house right now that I ducked inside of when those changelings were coming for us, me specifically when I was trying to keep you safe, and I'm also hoping there are good doctors here on your world since I got stabbed multiple times in both of my shoulders." He replied. That explains the bandaging that I was hearing earlier. "What do you mean? why were they going after you?" I asked him, I was confused as to why they would go after him. "I may or may not have killed the ones that were beating you and then killed a couple hundred more." He replied.

The way that he had just casually admitted that he had killed over hundreds of changelings now made me scared for my life since I had a feeling that I could be next.

"Anyways, that's enough about me for right now. You still have a dislocated bone in your nose that I need to reset for you." He told me. I forgot that my nose bone was dislocated. I wasn't totally sure about this but after a few minutes, I finally agreed to let him fix my nose for me. He asked if I needed something to bite down on to help deal with the momentary pain. I did say yes and he proceeded to look around the house to try and find something for me to bite on. He came back a minute later, empty hoofed but made me a strange offer. "There's nothing in this house that I can find right now Ms.Sable, but, If you don't mind it, You're more than welcome to bite down on my arm if you want to." He said. I took a moment to ponder this option, I did eventually say yes to his offer. He told me to lean against his chest for support. He brought his left arm around and I rested my teeth on his arm gently. He told me to let him know when I was ready by tapping him. I took a few seconds and tapped his arm a few times to let him know to go ahead and do it. He started counting down from 3 to signal to me that he was about to move the bone. He suddenly pushed my nose left as I bit down hard on him and let out some painful groans. He had gotten my nose facing the right way again, but it still had to be popped back into its socket. He pushed forward on it as I felt it click into place. He let go of me as I wiggled my nose to see if he was successful, and sure enough, he was. I thanked him a lot for this as there is no way I could have done this myself.

"No problem, Ms.Sable, glad I could help." He responded It felt kind of weird to hear him use my last name like that. "You can just call me Silver, that's my first name. The only ponies that call me sable are the ones that are ranks above me and the princesses." I told him. I preferred if ponies just used my first name instead. I was about to say something else when we both heard something. He got up from where he was sitting and walked over to the window. His eyes widened a decent bit as he turned to me and said something. "Well silver, it was nice meeting you but it looks like this is my exit cue to get out of here in one piece while I still can." He said to me. I was confused by this and watched him run out the door and get back in his carriage. He never told me what it is. I ran out after him but froze in my tracks as I saw just what he had done earlier. Changeling bodies and body parts littered the road ahead of me. His carriage made a loud hissing noise and started grinding something before he had finally started leaving at high speeds. I'm assuming that he was going to try and leave the city. I could see all of canterlot's citizens marching up the road towards us. Among them were other members of the royal guard, the element bearers, and the princess's themselves. I felt sick to my stomach as I just looked at the bodies, I wanted to throw up so badly and I almost did. My colleagues continued to chase him all the way out of canterlot. Something told me they wanted to hurt him, and I couldn't just let that happen. He had saved my life earlier, the least I could do is try and protect him. I knew canterlot like the back of my hoof and I could tell he was trying to escape the city. I was going to take as many shortcuts as possible to try and catch him at the gates to canterlot.

I had been ducking through alleyways and side streets to try and catch up to him. I could see now that he was already outside of the city and heading into the valley below the city. I had made it to the gate and got caught up with the other royal guards that were in pursuit of him. I had to get to him first before anypony else could. I lit my horn and immediately used a short to medium teleportation spell that I knew of and teleported a mere few feet right behind him, but some of my colleagues had the same idea and teleported with me as well but they were about 70 feet ahead of me. We all had continued in pursuit of him until he hit a whole and wrecked his carriage. He was sent rolling through the air at least 15 times then I saw a golden glow around it that helped it to slow down and land upright and then tip over onto its side, I looked behind me and saw that princess Celestia was trying to slow down whatever this thing was and she had a big look of concern on her face. After It had stopped, There was a short pause before he got out of it and started running. I got a good look at him as he got out and now I was worried about him more than I already was. "Oh no!" I quietly said to myself. I could see that he had blood dribbling from his mouth, a lot of cuts on his face, and was running like he had cracked ribs. I just stood there, frozen in place as he continued running. I looked over at what he was driving, and it was completely destroyed. The top of it had caved in, the pipes in the back were bent sideways, some of the wheels were ripped off, It was leaking fluids everywhere, and there was broken glass everywhere.

"Stop where you are now!" One of the other guards shouted. I had forgotten that they were still in pursuit of him and I started running after him again. The 6 elements of harmony had all ran right past me and attempted to stop him. "Stop, now!" Rainbow dash, the element of loyalty shouted to him, but he did not stop. I watched him shoulder his weapon as he reached in his vest for something and pulled some sort of odd-looking yellow shaped object and a large silver spray can. Rainbow dash went in and tried to tackle him but I was not ready for what he did. Once she was closer than 15 feet to him, he flipped around and dropped down to the ground in less than a second and fired the yellow object at her as she screamed loudly. The other five elements attempted to tackle him as well but failed as he sprayed whatever was in that can directly into their faces. He made to get up and try and run again but realized that he was surrounded, Instead of trying to run again, he simply just chose to say "Aw shit, Here we go again.". I had enough, no more of them trying to hurt him, The other guards had formed a circle around him but that wouldn't stop me. I had to get their attention first so I could jump in. "Stop, Can't you see that he's hurt!?" I called out. A couple of the guards had turned around and looked at me as I jumped over them into the circle at high speed, kicking up dust. I had my horn lit and teeth barred as I came to stop right by Dakota's side as he looked up at me as the dust cleared.

"Silver!?" He said in shock. He was genuinely surprised that I was protecting him right now instead of just letting everypony else take him away. "Hey, the least I can do is try and vouch for you so you don't get hauled away to the dungeon under the castle since you saved me earlier." I said to him. I didn't want him to be hauled away since He had saved me earlier, and even though he admitted he was now a killer, he was nicer to me than any other pony that I had known, He was nicer to me than my parents for Celestia's sake. All three of the princess's stepped forward including captain armor. Captain armor was the first to speak up. "Sergeant sable, What are you doing!? Are you not aware that this being had just slaughtered over hundreds of changelings less than 30 minutes ago!?" He said to me. "I'm very well aware captain, and he saved my life in the process! I was getting beaten ruthlessly beaten by 20 of them when he came out of nowhere and saved me from them. I still have the bruises to prove it as well!" I yelled back at him. I knew I still had some bruises on my face and I could still feel them. Princess Celestia came forward next and asked a question for Dakota specifically. "Is this true? did you really save her from a group of changelings earlier and risk your own life in the process?" She asked him. He simply nodded since there was still blood dribbling from his mouth and It was easy to tell that he was in a lot of pain. She proceeded to ask him another question. "Are you able to speak at the moment, as you can understand us?" She asked him. He shook his head this time as I'm assuming the pain in his mouth was too much for him to handle. The princess did ask him who we was though. I was going to answer for him but instead, He pulled what looked like a cardholder made out of black leather and pulled out a plastic card that said "Florida under 21 driver's license" and showed to all three of the princess. They gave the plastic card back to him after looking at it for a moment. Next, the Princess asked how badly he was hurt, I knew he was gonna have to try and speak, even though it would be painful.

"I bit down on my tongue very hard as you can already tell by the blood dribbling from my mouth, I got stabbed in both of my shoulders multiple times, and I have at least somewhere between 5 and 8 cracked ribs at the moment." He said. I was right for the most part on his injuries, except for the number of cracked ribs he had. The princess asked one more question "Also one more question, Will they be ok?" she said as she pointed towards the 6 elements of harmony that were all lying on the ground groaning in agony. "Yeah, they'll be fine, I used non-lethal weaponry on them to defend myself. The blue one with the rainbow hair was tased and others got pepper-sprayed. The effects of a taser last upwards of 7 minutes, and the pepper spray can be rinsed out of their eyes with soap and cold water" He said. So that's what those things were. "I see. Please try to hold still as best as you can, I'm going to try and set your ribs as best as I can and suture your tongue for you." She said to him. I stepped aside so the princess could do what she needed to do, after she was done, I moved back to his side again so they wouldn't hurt him. The blood around his mouth had been dried up and cleaned away and he looked a whole lot better now. I watched him as he began to take off the bandages on his shoulders and he looked at them for a few moments before looking back at the princess.

"Thank you, princess, but I have to ask, is there any way to fix that for me? because if you can't, then I've got a lot of repair work ahead of me." He asked as he pointed to his carriage that was laying on its side. I never noticed until now that there was flashing amber lights on the front and back of it that kept going. "Hmmm. I do happen to know of an old animation reverse and fix spell but I only used it one other time in my lifetime, and that was a long time ago. I don't know how well it will work but its worth a try to fix it for you." I heard the princess say to him. "Please, I'll take anything that works just so long as I don't have to spend so much time on repair work to get back into working order." He said to her, sounding kind of desperate actually.

She seemed to understand what he was asking for and proceeded to light her horn up. Everypony turned to face his truck as a bright golden aura enveloped it entirely and parts of it that had flown off of it in the crash, began to reattach themselves. His carriage was now upright again but now It was moving backward in the same way that it was going forward. It was now repeating the barrel roll's as more pieces of the carriage reattached themselves, even the terrain was being fixed up from where the wheels. were skidding in the grass. His carriage was now fully repaired and now sitting just a few feet away from the hole that he had hit. "Thank you, princess. You saved me from nearly a month of nonstop work of trying to fix it." He said to Celestia.

"You're welcome. However, I can't just let you go, You're responsible for the death's of hundreds of changelings and will need to come with us back to canterlot for questioning so we can determine what to do with you and make sure you're not a threat to the citizens of Equestria." Celestia said.

He let out an extremely long sigh and agreed to go with them back to canterlot but he told them I wasn't going to leave what he called a truck here, and he's also grabbing his so-called anti-tank gun on the way back along with something he called a “DshK” They all agreed to these terms, luna was a little hesitant to do so, but she eventually agreed to. Dakota began walking over to his truck and I followed him, even though he was no longer surrounded by other guards, I still felt the need to keep out of danger as the royal guard is known to contain ruthless fighters in its ranks. I heard something click within in the truck and soon, a door swung open for me to hop inside with him. Dakota had asked me why I stood up for him and why I didn't just turn him over to the guards. I explained to him that saving somepony's life goes a long way in Equestria. It was only fair that I risked my job and freedom for his life as he did with mine, and I even admitted that I wanted to know more about him, but he said that I get that chance since he needs to be questioned by the princesses.

Dakota POV
Present time

After getting my answer from silver, I put my key's in the ignition of my Topkick and manually heated the glowplugs. The low air buzzer was annoying as hell, but I knew it would shut off once I fired the engine up and let it idle for a bit. Turning the key all the way, I cold started the engine again, but this time, I wasn't annoyed since I was in a much better mood now. The 14L Detroit 60 series engine roared to life once more as smoke was now blowing from the exhaust stacks and I revved the engine up to 2500 RPMs and the low air buzzer soon shut off as my air pressure built up to 120 PSI and I got going. I pulled out my phone and plugged it into the radio. If I was gonna have to drive through canterlot and get hated on by the nobles and have death threats made by them against them, I might as well have some music going to drown them out so I don't have to put up with their shit. The earth pony and unicorn guards had already gone back up to canterlot, along with the element bearers, So now it was just the pegasi guards and silver watching over me along with the princesses. I arrived back at the gates and I was let back into the city. There were guards everywhere trying to clean up what they could. I never noticed until now that the majority of them were all mares, I might have to ask what the male to female ratio in Equestria is when I get the chance in about 45 minutes. I was just rolling through the streets of canterlot at a solid 15MPH when I saw that the citizens of canterlot were now starting to return. They looked shaken when they saw the extent of the damage from the battle, but they seemed shocked and fearful when their eyes turned to me as my truck was rumbling up the hill towards where I was holding out. The bass was booming which was appropriate since boomin by daniel holter and old man Malcolm was playing right now through my stereo.

The nobles were now coming back and some of them were giving me the most disgusted looks ever while the rest just stared at me in confusion. The ones that wanted to do something and throw me out of the city, I just threw up the middle finger and smugly grinned as I passed, knowing they couldn't do anything without angering the royal guards escorting me up the hill. I turned onto the main road and saw my handiwork being cleaned up. There were carts full of body bags being hauled away while more dead changelings were being placed in bags, while the ones that were still alive were being tended to by medical personal from within the royal guard and a nearby hospital that I passed earlier in the downtown area while fleeing the city. The changelings that were outside and still alive, had tried to scramble inside of the nearby houses upon seeing me approaching, thinking I was here to finish the job, but I simply wasn't. I was here for my gun. I turned around and backed up slowly until I was about 5 feet from the barrel of the gun and got out. I asked silver to help me turn it around since I couldn't move it by myself. She got out of the truck and lit her horn, ready to grab the guns legs and help me turn it around. I put my hands on the left leg and got ready to lift. I counted down as a white aura surrounded the right leg and lifted. I ushered her to turn it around as quickly as possible since the gun was so heavy and I couldn't hold it much longer. I made it back 3 feet before a blue aura surrounded the leg that I was holding and I started looking around. I looked back over my shoulder as I saw cadence trying to help me move it before shining armor joined in as well. I took the opportunity to guide them closer until I could get the gun hooked onto the towing hitch. I brought the legs close together and put a pin through them and got it hooked onto the truck. I told them they could release their grips on the heavy piece of artillery and take a breather.

I plugged in the lights on it and got back in my truck, but not before I went upstairs and grabbed the other machine gun. I let Silver get back in as well and surprisingly, cadence and shining armor both got in as well. I wasn't gonna ask since they both looked tired after helping me out by maneuvering the heavy gun and holding it up long enough for me to get it hooked up. Silver had proceeded to take off her helmet and set it down on the floor as I got a nice long look at how long and straight her mane was, it went down past her shoulders all the way to her upper back. I offered them all some water as they seemed to be sweating a good bit and since I had a lot of water that I kept in my truck in the back. They all gladly accepted the kind of warm water that I offered. I watched as silver just shotgunned an entire bottle.

"Holy shit. Were you that thirsty?" was my response to her just slamming back the whole thing. I looked in the mirror to see both shining armor and cadence also shotgunning bottles from the case of 48 bottles I had. "Jesus, yall act like that was your last drink or something." I said to all three of them. What was a full 48 pack of water bottles, was now half-empty as they all continued slamming back water. I just chuckled at the display as I joined in their drinking game. They finally stopped once there were about 10 bottles left and they all started breathing heavily to try and catch their breaths. I was now approaching the gates to the castle and I gave the stock air horn three quick blasts before they opened up.

Celestia instructed me to park my truck on the grass next to the doors of the castle as I pulled up. Something looked off though, there were multiple sets of tire tracks that looked like they belonged to duallys and led around the side of canterlot castle. One set of tire tracks looked deeper than the others, I would have gone to check it out but I was still being followed by a unicorn, 3 Alicorns, and a handful of Pegasi so I couldn’t go anywhere they didn’t direct me. I would need to ask Celestia why they were there, they looked recent. I grabbed my keys out of the ignition and locked it up before they escorted me inside. Something came to mind before we did enter though.

"Hey, princess Celestia, don't take this the wrong way but, how come I'm not restrained right now?" I asked her. "That's actually a good question, I don't know if we have any shackles that would fit you. Why are you asking though, I thought you liked having full range of motion over everything." She said. "I do, but I don't want to spook anypony inside by the fact that I'm not from this world and I'm not being restrained by something." I said. It sounded weird but even I knew how this worked. "You make a very good point. I can send a pair of guards to find some shackles if you feel like this is the best idea." She said to me. I agreed and she sent two the guardsmares that were escorting me inside to find a pair of shackles. I didn't want the ponies inside of the castle to be spooked by me as I was being escorted, at the least, keep me at weapon point until I was out of sight of regular ponies. Sure it sounded like a fetish of sorts, but I knew it was for the best of everypony involved. The two guards came back empty handed 5 minutes later and I put my backup plan in action. I told one of the guards to give a weapon to silver and have them escort me to where they need me to go. Celestia, Cadence, Shining armor, Silver, and even Luna questioned my method of getting me to where I needed to be taken to be questioned. I told them it was for the best because a Bipedal creature from another planet that has access to technology centuries ahead of what most of Equestria had, was guaranteed to spook everypony inside and I would probably end up making a little kid cry in the process.

One of the guards gave her crossbow to silver and I told her to hold it a few inches from the back of my head while the other guards would have spears and swords pointed at me while I acted fearful. Celestia asked me if I was ready yet, I put my hands up and behind my head and said yes, after that, Celestia opened up the doors and instructed me to walk inside slowly. I knew how to make myself sweat without trying, so I did. Guards gave me passing looks as I passed by while regular ponies inside making their way out after the battle had ended, just stopped and stared at me as I continued on. I could hear some of them whispering to each other when I went past, mainly saying things like “What is that thing? Why are the guards escorting it through the castle, what’s that thing on it’s back, what is it wearing?” That type of stuff. I rounded another hallway and came to stop at a pair of double doors that were locked and looked like only members of the castle staff could access. Cadence stepped forward and stuck her horn in a small hole in the doors until I heard what sounded like tumblers unlocking and the door opening.

I was ushered inside and once the door was shut behind us, Luna told me that I could put my hands down now as we’re out of view of the public and we didn’t need to worry. Silver returned the crossbow to the guard that gave it to her and walked alongside me once again after we were out of sight of the public. I never realized until now just how tall these ponies were. Luna was easily eye level with me not including her horn, silver came up to my chest at a decent 5'0, and Celestia stood as tall as an NBA basketball player at 6’8, while I was a decent 6’1. We continued down the hallway some more until we came to another door that was unlocked and we went inside. There was at least 15 chairs and a large window that looked into a white room that had nothing in it except for a table and two chairs. Looks like this was the interrogation room. The door to the room was unlocked so, without waiting and wanting to get this over with, I went inside and sat down and waited for another pony to come in and get this started.

I had been waiting now for five minutes now before the door opened up and In walked Celestia and silver. Silver had brought an extra chair with her so she could sit down as well. Once they did both sit down, they both pulled out notebooks and pens and got ready to ask me some questions. Celestia went first.

"So, Mr.Dakota, we all already know each other in terms of names, but I would like to know about who you are, what you are, and where you came from." She said to me. "Could you possibly be a little more specific? because I could honestly give you my life story in full detail or just tell you what I was doing a few moments before I ended up in Equestria." I said to her. "Well, If im being honest, I would actually like to hear your life story, but...I'm not so sure Ms.Sable does though." She said to me. I glanced over at silver and awaited her response. "I don't mind. I would actually prefer to hear about it." She said. "Well then, I recommend grabbing some snacks and drinks because we are gonna be here for a while, but otherwise here we go. It all started when I was born in a place called San Antonio, Texas." I began as they began to write stuff down right away as soon as I began speaking.

6 hours later

"And that's how I ended up here in Equestria, saving this nice mare's life, putting down over hundreds of changelings, trying to escape the city, and nearly killing myself in the process." I ended. All three of us were pretty tired, and the whole room was a mess. Empty chip bags, bottles of iced coffee, half-eaten bowls of popcorn, empty cans of soda, half-eaten sandwiches, and water littered the once empty table. I got up and stretched out a lot since I had been sitting for so long that I had honestly thought my ass had slipped into a coma. It did feel good to have blood flowing in my legs again though. I walked over towards the door and opened it up and was actually surprised to see that the elements were here as well. I glanced over at luna and got the answer for a question that I didn't even ask yet. "they've all been here for the past 5 hours now." She said to me. Twilight was the only one still awake and she seemed super tired. After everything that had happened today, I don't blame her. She was taking her own notes about me and looked like she wanted to say something but just kept struggling to stay awake. I told twilight that I would answer any questions she had for me when we both got some sleep. She tried to complain but I stopped her and reminded her that sleep is a necessity to everyone and it can lead to health problems if you don't get any sleep, or too little sleep. After this, I decided it would be a good idea to try and find my way out of the castle since I could sleep in my Topkick for a while. I pulled out my phone and was surprised to see that it was already almost midnight. I nearly got lost but I managed to find my way out of the castle and into the front courtyard where my truck was parked. The backseat was able to be folded down into a bed so I could actually sleep properly. I had kept a blanket on the passenger side and decided now would be a good time to use it. Once I got comfortable, I shut off the map light, locked the doors, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

I soon found myself floating around in some sort of space like a dreamscape. Blue, white, and purple colors were all that I saw. This seemed familiar to me for some reason. I soon felt gravity take over and I dropped down onto the invisible ground. I got up and walked around for a bit to see if there was anything here. Not surprisingly, there wasn't. I heard hoofsteps approaching behind me and I turned around to see who it was.

"Luna, I had a feeling you would be here. What brings you here to the inside of my head?" I asked her.

"I have come here to ask you some questions of my own that I didn't get to ask earlier." she said.

"Well then, ask away. What do you want to know?" I asked her. Surprisingly she asked me about my truck and what it was. I told her that it was a 2008 GMC Topkick Ironhide edition that had an engine swap performed on it. I removed the old unreliable Duramax engine and swapped in a Detroit diesel engine that I pulled out of a totaled Freightliner classic and put a lot of money worth of engine upgrades into it as well. From minor things like a new set of manual glowplugs to the big things such as the twin-charged setup that I made myself, which consisted of 3 Keating machine turbos and two Weiand superchargers. I was surprised that I had the room in the engine bay for it, but then again, I had replaced the original V8 with an inline 6 so there was more room on the sides of the engine bay than there was before. Luna then proceeded to ask why I tried to flee the city after the battle was over. I explained that an army of citizens, her royal guards, her and her sister, cadence and shining armor, and the elements were marching right towards me and I could see the looks of anger, hatred, and wanting to murder me burning in their eyes. That's why I took off running, Well, Driving and nearly died because of it once I got into the valley below the city. She asked why I attacked the mane 6 like I did and had to explain to her that it was self-defense and that they would be fine. We kept going back and forth like this for about 20 minutes before she wrapped things up with one last thing she wanted to say to me.

"Before I leave and let you do what you want here in this dream, there is one thing you need to know. That mare you saved earlier today, Silver Sable, You both owe each other big time. She risked her employment and freedom for your life as you did with her's. She's trying to find a way to say thank you for what you did, I recommend you do the same." She told me before she walked away and disappeared into nothing. That got me thinking, How would I repay silver? What would she do for me? I would try to figure it out later, for now, since this was my dream, I changed up the scenery to an indoor/outdoor gun range and decided to work on my aim a little bit.

2 hours have now passed and I was starting to wake up. Everything went dark and my eyes became heavy again. I had a dry feeling all throughout my body and in my mouth as well. I sat up and stretched out before I looked at my phone to see what time it was. It was little after 8:00AM and it was super cloudy outside, pretty much just like home. I started thinking about home again, good ol florida. I was hoping that maybe there was a way I could go home, go back to the everglades. I was snapped out of my thoughts as I heard somepony knocking on the door. I spun around and looked outside to Silver standing there waiting for me. I got up and got out and decided to see why she was here, there is always a reason.

"Morning Silver, What brings you to my truck this morning?" I asked while stifling a yawn.

"Morning Dakota. I was sent here by princess Celestia to retrieve you and have you brought to the dining hall." She said to me, while trying to supress a yawn of her own. Im guessing that she hadn't been awake for long and had just recently started her shift as well. I locked the doors and followed her inside. We hadn't really said a word to each other the whole walk there. When we did get there, Celestia was already inside and enjoying her breakfast. She greeted me warmly and pulled out two seats for both me and silver so we could sit down.

"I take it you slept alright last night, Dakota?" Celestia asked me. "Yeah, I slept alright. Your sister came and visited me in my dreams last night and asked me some questions that weren't answered yesterday." I said. "Hmmm, well what did she ask you?" Celestia asked me.

"She asked me about my truck, to which I went into full detail about. She asked me also about the guns I had and how they worked." I said. "Speaking of my truck, I saw some tire tracks yesterday when I parked up and i've wanted to ask you about that because I never mentioned yesterday that back home on earth, I had a lot more than just the one truck that you already saw." I said to her.

Even though I lived in the Florida Everglades, A lot of my shit's been getting stolen off of my property and I don't know how or why. Really, who the fuck commits like 50 grand theft auto's in the Florida Everglades of all places? A lot of my vehicles that had gotten stolen were parked in and around a barn on my property that I wanted to use for storage and also use as a workshop. Ever since the 3rd theft, I had put camera's in and around it to try and catch the bastard stealing my shit, but every time one got stolen, the camera would go static for a full 2 minutes usually just before one of my trucks disappeared, I didn't care a whole lot that my Chevys and GMC's were getting stolen since GM is a pile of dog shit, but when one of my fords got taken, that's when I took action. I had collected and worked on old and new vehicles a lot with my friends so it was mainly project trucks that were already built that were disappearing along with regular work trucks, and even some semi's that I had acquired to do some heavy pulling when I went to pick up more than one vehicle that I had bought.

I was pulled back to reality when silver had been shaking me trying to get my attention now for the last two minutes. Celestia had said that objects similar to my Topkick had been showing up in Equestria now for the last three month's at random times, in random places. Something about this sounded suspicious, Objects that look like my truck ending up in Equestria, on the same day that they went missing and at the same time as well. I asked Celestia if she could explain this to me a little more. Instead, she offered to show them to me since I probably have the best knowledge on these things. I wouldn't say I knew the most about it, but I could probably explain to her what was showing up.

I accepted her offer and she got up and asked both me and silver to follow her. After about 20 minutes of walking, we ended up outside right back outside where my truck was already parked. Celestia asked me to get in my truck and follow her around the side of the castle where those tire tracks led to. It was much colder out this morning than it was yesterday which led to the engine having a much harder time trying to start in this weather. After about a full minute of cranking the engine, the detroit diesel roared to life once more but she was not happy. I always had to let the engine warm up a bit before I could move the truck otherwise it would stall on me. After letting it high idle for about 2 minutes, the engine was finally warm enough to move. I opened the door and offered silver and Celestia to get in since I had turned on the heat and I had heated seats, They both kindly declined my offer and proceeded to guide me around the side of the castle and follow the tire tracks until they stopped at what looked like a loading bay door. Celestia had lit her horn and activated what looked like a keypad on the side of the door as it began to open slowly. After it opened all the way up, Celestia and silver then decided to get in the backseat of my truck and told me to drive through the door and down the ramp. I did as they said and continued down the ramp for about four minutes until I stopped in a large white room and just stared at what I was seeing. "What the hell are these doing here?!" I said. Now, It was time for me to get some answers
