Chapter 1: The Arrival of a Hero

It was a beautiful night sky in Equestria, the stars and moon shined bright and beautiful as Luna was at the rallying outside of her chambers making sure the night was at its beast, moving the moon in a perfect place for the night and the stars twinkled brightly in the sky. She was just about to get to the rest of her duties for the night when all the sudden she felt a VERY strong presents in the duration of Ponyville*

she was baffled by this new power. How can something this strong just show up all the sudden? It was confusing, amazing, and...and scary, this feeling was bigger than almost her and her sister and that was worrying. All of a sudden the doors opened to reveal Celestia walking out to her sister.

"Tia, this power, can you sense it?"

"Indeed dear sister, though I can't tell what it is," She said with a worried voice, this feeling was nothing like anything she felt, what worried her the most was it was near Ponyville.

Luna looked to her with a worried look, "sister, the power we feel is close to Ponyville, should we write young princess Twilight a letter?"

Celestia shook her head as she kept her gaze to the direction of Ponyville "that won't be necessary deer Luna, this power could be anything, it could be Discord messing around for all we know, for now let's just wait and see what happens"

Luna was a little surprised by this as she was confused at this, this power just popped up out of nowhere and near Ponyville of all places, and her sister wasn't going to notify Twilight about this. She then looked back to Ponyville with a worried look on her face as she thought about what this power could be.

"Is it discord? No, this is more than anything we have ever seen, it is even almost as big as NIgh... I must know what this power is and see what this..."thing" is"

"Are you sure that is the beast of choice, sister? this may be a dangerous enemy-" She was then cut off by Celestia as she held up a hand to her.

"Again dear Luna, we still don't have enough information on whatever this power is, for now all we can do is wait and see" As she gave one last look to Ponyville, the power they felt all the sudden disappeared surprising them both.

"T-the power, it is...gone?" said Luna with a little worried voice.

However Celestia just shook her head "I do not think so deer Luna, more or so it manly just hidden itself...which is concerning...but as I said deer sister, for now we must wait until the time is right" She then turned around to leave and go back to her room, "goodnight Luna"

"Goodnight Tia" Luna said as she then went back to her work as Celestia walked back to her room still worried.

A couple of minutes before

In a beautiful grassland area in a clearing in a forest, completely quiet and peaceful in the night as the clearing was filled with Picasso Calla Lily Blue flowers and a small waterfall as everything was quiet and peaceful....until all the sudden the wind started to pick up fast as there was all the sudden a bright shine of white light filled the area as the sounds of gears turning and clocks ticking as the light shined more brighter as it slowly died down to reveal Ryan as he open his eyes to get a good look around his surroundings

".....Geez this place looks like a little girls coloring book" He said as he had a slimed on his face as he shook his head as he all the sudden got a sense of two big power levels that looked like they were in a city of some sort as they were surrounded by many power levels.

"hmmm if I can guess those power levels probably know I'm here, better lower mine just incase" As he said that he lowered his power level to a point no one will be able to sense him, "there, but Supreme Kai of Time said that the power here is still dormant and I just need to wait, but..." He then took another look around, "where to go?" he asked himself as he felt some low power levels and a couple big ones, but it felt like a small town so he thought he could go in that deration for now.

As he was walking he saw that the forest trees where really dense and they looked out of color as he thought that the trees looked a little different as he just continued to walk shrugging it off, but there was one thing that kept him on his guard was he felt all eyes were on him, he didn't know what or who it was but he could feel them. He then stopped as he looked over his shoulder as he lifted up his left foot behind him to see if he stepped in something, but he was pretending to as he used his super vision to quickly look around the area, he saw 20 yellow lights that looked like eyes meaning 10 somethings were right behind him. He then put his foot down as he looked forward again as he went on his way, he checked his scouter to see if these things were going to be a problem. The scouter turned on as it started to make beeping sounds, it showed him that three of the things were a power level of ten, two more reading a power level of twenty-two,

"So those three with a power level of ten must be scouts, and the two with the twenty-two have to be the foot soldiers, now what are the rest of the five?"

He thought to himself as if this was a game of chest, the scouter read four more having a power level of thirty-seven,

"The knight's, with a power level of thirty-seven very impressive, and now the king"

The scouter read the last one being the most powerful as it had a power level of....fifty. He let out a sigh as he thought they would be at least a challenge or at least they were as strong as a cyberman, they had a power level of at least two-hundred or more.

"Oh well, beggars can't be choosers," As he said that he then vanished surprising the things following him, all the sudden the things heard wood snapping as they saw the scouts necks were snapped, more wood and a howl three more dropped and so did four more. The last one started to run away when all the sudden a beam shot though its chest as it fell to the ground dead, Ryan lowered his hand as he looked at the things that were following him.

"Okay what the hell," He was confused as the things ware wolfs, but not just any normal, fluffy wolfs you would see but these wolfs were made of wood, wooden wolfs that had some green sap lekking out of them. "well, you don't see that everyday...but then again I have seen weirder"

He then started to walk to the direction of the town again when all the sudden he caught the low power level that looked like it belong to a kid, he checked his scouter for the time to see it was 12:56 am, "It's almost past midnight, either this world sleeps during the day or that's just a naive kid, but I can't be bothered by that," he then was about to continue when he heard a high pitch scream not to far from him...and it was coming from where that kid is, "okay, now I can be bothered" he then haled ass as he ran fast to where the kid was.

A few minutes ago, Apple bloom was walking back from back from Zecora's after seeing her for some magical soil for the farm to help the trees grow more, she was only spouse to be there for a few minutes but she got caught up helping Zecora a bit, now she was on her way back to the farm when all the sudden she got a chill up her spine as she slowly turned around to see timberwolves slowly moving to her.

"o-oh umm n-now y'all don't need to do anything r-rash now hehehe," she said nervously as she started to back up slowly, as she did this they growled at her as they moved in closer, "AHHHHHHHHH!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs as she started to run away, when she screamed they gave chase as they were right on her tail.

Apple bloom continued to run as fast as she could as she could hear the timberwolves right behind her, as she ran she went though many trees and did her best not to get into anything poisonous or dangerous in the Everfree forest as she saw she was almost out of there as she could see the farm. But when she was about get out she tripped on her legs as she went down to the ground hard as she skidded to a halt, as hissed in pain as she then looked at her leg to see that her left leg had a big scrape on it as some blood was coming out, as things couldn't get worse her face turned pale as she saw the timberwolves close in on her.

"A-a-a-Apple Jack, Big Mac," she said as tears started to go down her eyes as one of them was about to pounce on her, "s-somepony anypony HELP!!!" she screamed out as her last hope when one of them jumped as she closed her eyes as she waited for her end....but nothing happen, all she heard was the sound of wood bracking and a howl but no pain, well aside from her leg and all but nothing else, no jaws in her, no timberwolves eating her, nothing, she then slowly started to open her eyes and immediately they went wide at what see saw.

minutes before

Ryan was hauling ass through the forest as he was nothing but a blur to the normale eye as he went to where that kid was.

“Come please be safe,” he said as he got to his destination as he saw more of those wolf things and...the kid…”what the?” he was expecting...well he didn’t know what he would expect but he DEFINITELY didn’t think about this, what he saw the wolf's closing in on, was a small girl that looked like she was a pony, but she had the legs and a little bit of her face of one but her arms ware human ones.

He then saw she had a pony like- ”oh shit one of them is about to get her!”

He broke his train of thought as he saw one of them ponce as he then vanished and aparied behind the wolf as he punched it in mid air as his fist went through it’s back and out of the wolf's mouth as it howled in pain as it died. He then tossed the dead wolf thing to the side, as the other wolves saw their fallen comrade die they turned their attention from the pony to him, he then dealt with them quickly as he charged at one of them and punched it so hard it’s head came off.

He then vanished again and reaperd next to one of them as he kicked it in the side as it went flying into one of them and right into a tree as them both died, he then saw two were left as he pointed his finger at them as he shot two ki beams at them as the beams went right through them and they dropped dead. He let out a sigh of relief as he lowered his hand again, he turned to the girl- or filly? Doesn't matter, as he looked at her just in time as a cloud moved out of the moon as the light of the moon shined bright as he and the girl could see each other clearly, he saw she was wearing some blue jean shorts overalls and a whiet T-shirt that had a symbol of a purple star with a purple shield in it and a pink apple in the middle of the shield.
Next was that she had a horse tail that was a carry red and her maine was the same color as most of it was being held together by a red bow on the top of her head.

From Apple blooms view she saw a man standing there after taking down the timberwolves so fast she didn’t see it happen as she thought he wasn’t even trying, but when the moon light shined to show his full face she went more wide eye as she saw he wasn’t a pony, he had a face that was a little similar to a pony’s but his face was a little flat, he had muscles she never seen before as she also noticed he had no fur or tail. He was wearing some weird clothes and some boots that looked like his hooves were going outwards, his maine was upright and spiky along with it being fully black as so was his eyes, well as far as she could see as it was still dark and she could see only the one eye as the other was being covered by a strange green thing as it had a white surface as it had a red button and it was covering up one of his ears, speaking of witch, his ears ware on the side of his head and not a little pointy at all like a normal pony’s ears.

She then saw on the left side of his chest was a very strange symbol that had the letters TP on them and an arrow going around them, was that his cutie mark? She then was brought out of her thoughts as she heard him speaking.

“H-Huh?”

“I said are you alright?” he asked as she heard his voice was a little deep but a little bit calm and happy too.

“O-oh y-yeah, thanks mister” she said with a smile as he heard she had a southern accent, she then hissed in pain as the pain from her leg came back again. He then ran over to her as he then reached into his pocket and pulled out a small medkit, he then opened it was only big enough for some bandages he grabbed the bandages and tossed the empty kit away as he used the full roll of bandages to wrap around her leg.

She hissed a little but when he touched her leg but the pain started to go away again, she then looked at him with a smile at his generosity,

“Thank you mister, if you didn’t show up I would have been another piece of pray for those darn tootin timberwolves”

He then looked up at her confused, “Timberwolves?” He said as he was confused at the name of the wolves he...well he couldn’t say defeated, more like...slaterted them as they were too easy to kill.

“Mhm, those there wolves you took care of, their one of the most dangerous things in the Everfree forest!” she said in a little shout and a little bit of fear.

“The Everfree forest? You mean this place?” he asked as he looked around the forest a little confused.

“Yeah, this is the most dangerous and scariest place in Equestria!” she said again with a little bit louder shout.

He then looked more confused, Timberwolves, Everfree forest, Equestria? That's it, this would be officially a little girls coloring book. Apple bloom then took notice of his face,

“Yooooou, don’t know where we are?” she asked as she was confused as to how he didn’t know about the Everfree forest.
“Ummm, lets just say I’m not from around here,” he said as he finished with the bandages “there you go, you will be able to walk on it a little, but give it two days and your leg will be good as new” he said as she gave him a nod and a hug, he then patted her on the back a little as she let go of him as he stood up and helped her on her feet as well.

“Sooooo, what's your name mister?”

He then offered her his hand, “Ryan, my name is Ryan,” she then took his hand as they shook hands.

“I’m Apple bloom! Of the Apple family,” she said with a smile as they stopped shaking hands, “So what brings you here mister Ryan?”

"O-oh ummm uhhhh ummm," he then started to sweat a little as he tried to find what to say, he couldn't say exactly WHY he was here it would freak her out of her mind, and not to mention the millions and billions and trillions of questions she would ask him.

She tilted her head to the side as she just waited for his answer as he was struggling to find an answer, as he then thought of one, "Ummm I'm just...travelling around the area," he said smiling nervously as he wasn't telling the FULL truth but it still works......he hopes. Applebloom had a confused look as she thought he wasn't telling the truth but she then smiled as she bought his story as he let out a sigh of relief that she actually bought his story as he could relax a little.

He then looked around a bit as he then looked at her with a confused look of his own, "Say Apple bloom, what are you doing out here? Do you have a home?"

"Of course I have a home silly, my family farm," she said as she turned around and pointed to the red barn that had a small old rustic house to the right of it, the barn had a big red apple on the roof as the barn looked both old and new, maybe a little farm in the back for the animals but he didn't look to into it. He then saw a HUGE field of apple trees that almost went on for miles it looked like, he then saw the house had a green roof as it was a two story house suggesting that the top floor is where her and her family sleep and the main floor must be where they clean themselves up and make their food.

"That's your home?" he asked as he couldn't believe that she works on a farm THAT big.

"Mhm, that is my family farm!" she said happily and a little loud as she sounded proud of it, "it's the best place in all of Equestria!"

"Huh, you don't say," he said as he was still confused as to what this "Equestria'' is, it might be the name of the world here or it's the name of the contrary he was in? He just shook his head of his thoughts as those were questions for later.

"Well it was nice seeing you Apple bloom," he said as he gave her a small wave as he started to walk away but all the sudden he then felt her grab his left hand and pull his arm a little, "hmm?"

"W-wait! you can't go now!" she pleaded as she tried to pull him back as best she can, "I-I need to thank you for saving me!"

He turned his head over his left shoulder to look at her, "listen Apple bloom, I don't mean to be rude but I can't stay"

"B-but I need to show you to my family and-"

"I'm sorry Apple bloom but I need to go," he turned his head and was about to walk off again when Apple bloom spoke up again.

"There's food," she said in a last ditch effort for him to stay as he stopped in his tracks and stayed silent for a little bit when he looked over his shoulder to look at her again.

"....I'm listening"

"Y-yeah, there's tons of food at my home"

He stayed silent for a few seconds when his stomach rumbled as he turned around and started to walk to her, "You had me at food," he said as he walked past her and made his way to her farm.

She beamed at this as she did her best to catch up to him with her injured leg but was able to get to his side as they walked over to the Apple family farm.

somewhere that was a few miles away from Ponyville a pool of water and a nice green area was peaceful when all the sudden a dark pool of darkness opened up and a tall figure was wearing some sort of armor as it had black hair. The figure looked around the area as it then gave a sinister smile as it started to walk off.
