I Am NOT Twilight Sparkle!

Equestria, a rather peaceful continent of the planet of Equis where the ponies of the land have developed one of the more cultured, and thriving communities not just on this continent alone but across the world as well. But in the past two or so years after the one-thousandth Summer Sun Celebration held in Equestria, the entire nation was bustling with frantic, and even dangerous activities and events that caused great panic among the populace. There was even an isolated incident in where a unicorn mare tried to tamper with time, all to meddle in the lives of six individuals because of a silly and rather outrageous event that happened to her in the past, which made her go on a one-mare crusade to change the past and ultimately the future as well. But afterwards things have settled down for the most part, however unbeknownst to the world at large, things in Equestria were about to pick up.

Far off in in the widen mountain ranges north of Equestria, wedged between two mountain peaks in a small forest laid a large hole at its center. Now it wasn’t a hole in the traditional sense, instead it was more of a crater with smoldering grass around its edges, with destroyed trees scattered around in the new clearing, leaving only destroyed stubby trunks, as well as other burnt foliage within the recently made clearing. At the center of the clearing lying in the crater in a sprawled-out manner, was a small violet coated alicorn mare, her mane and tail as well as some of the feathers on her wings were disheveled. There were also remnants of destroyed clothing, and pieces of furniture and other nick knacks alongside the mare. As the mare laid there on the ground a soft breeze wafted over her, bellowing through her mane, tail, and wings, but the cool breeze also coaxed the mare to awaken from her unconscious state. Heavy eyelids started to weakly open up to reveal lavender colored eyes, as the mare started to emerge from her toppled state.

The moment that the mare’s eyes took noticed of their surroundings, the mare bolted up in alarm but the moment she stood up on her hind legs her equilibrium was still off settled, so she ended up falling on her back causing her to lay there with her legs sticking up. As the mare laid on her back, her eyes wandered about looking at what she could currently see, from the rim of the crater to the sky above her, but once her eyes looked down towards herself her eyes bugged out at what she saw. The mare looked at her small stubby forelegs, then her fluffed chest, but as her eyes slowly looked down further along her slight plump torso, her eyes widen to even larger sizes as she saw her small equine teats.

“No!” The mare then stumbled up to stand and started to look herself all over, and over, and only getting more mentally frantic as she continues to examine herself, from her coat of violet fur, large wings, and even the horn she could just barely see protruding from her forehead.

“No! no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no…”

The mare’s eyes then looked down to her hind legs when she whipped her head down, and saw a dark purple lump past her back legs, and a pair of sizable equine balls. The mostly still silence that hanged over the clearing suddenly broken when an ear-splitting scream filled the whole mountain range. Birds, squirrels, and all other manner of creatures within the mountain range were startled by the noise, and those closer to the forest were so spooked from the sudden scream that they took off running.

“WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ME?!” the mare cried out as she flops around on the ground, almost like a fish out of water, limps, tail, and other parts of her just going everywhere as she flops around. All the while the horn on her head was pulsating with an ethereal purple aura.

“What happened to me?! Why do I have wings, and hooves, and what…why am I a fucking purple horse?!” the mare flabbergasted as she then arched her back and shouted towards the sky.

“WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!”

The mare continued to belt out curses and swears, while still flailing her body around, as her addled and very confused mind tried to figure out what was going on. But while the frantic mare was babbling about her current situation, and letting her rampant emotions run wild, she failed to realize that the aura around her horn started to grow more, and more brightly, but the mare ceased her random rampant thought when a beam of energy was expelled from her horn. The force of the magical blast caused the mare to fall and tumble backwards, landing on her back as she looked utterly beside herself at what had just happened, while watching the beam of energy pitter out as it rocketed through the air.

After a minute of her little fright and laying there on the ground, chest heaving as she releases heavy breaths, staring up at the sky her mind finally started to slow down and trying to collect her thoughts. While the mare’s mind was calming down, and her breathing was being reigned in, the mare’s tensed up body also started to relax and releasing all the built up tension, till she was finally at ease. Taking a deep breath the mare sat back up and attempted to stand on her four legs, which was rather easy, however, walking in a straight line seemed a little, difficult. Coordinating on which legs moved and in which sequence seemed to be pretty challenging. It didn’t help that her wings were sticking up or even un-consciously flapping about, which was starting to cause an annoying strain on her back, like when you are trying to hold your arms out for a long period of time, while holding something heavy in each hand. But after a few minutes of trying to figure out how to control her wings, and having them twitch and flap out in sporadic flaps, the mare was able to finally fold her wings against her barrel.

“Okay, okay. I think I’m starting to get the hang of this.” The mare said as she trotted about and flapped her wings to get the hang of using them, and once she was comfortable with her new limbs, she then managed to haul herself out of the crater. But once she was out of her hole, she gave her body one more look over.

“So, I’m a small unicorn. A very purple unicorn with wings, instead of a normal human guy.” She said as she slowly paces in a small circle.

“But how the hell did I end up like this?” the mare contemplated as she tried to think back to the point of time before waking up in the clearing.

~~Flash Back~~

The day started out like any other day for Zackery Johnson, waking up from a rather pleasant sleep even if it was only for four hours. sitting up in his bed, stretching out his body for a bit, Zack slumped back down onto his comfy mattress and tried to get some more sleep, but after an hour and forty minutes he woke back up, and unable to go back to sleep.

Grumbling as he leaves his soft bed, Zack made his way to his single bedroom apartment bathroom where he did his business, before getting into the shower and just reveled in the hot water cascading his body, as he began his day. Once he was done with his shower Zack walked back to his room, dumping his boxers and shorts into the hamper before getting dressed up in clean clothes, which just consisted of black boxers, a pair of shorts and a tank top.

When fully clothed Zack headed for the kitchen where he turned the TV on, and listened to it as background noise as he went about to make himself some breakfast. As the oven starts to warm up, and Zack prepares ingredients for an omelette and some hash browns, Zack started to wonder what he should do for the day. A momentary thought drifted to his job at the local Barns and Nobles came to mind, but he remembered that he has the next few days off, so he didn’t have to worry about work.

“I suppose I can check in on Kyle and the others—oh wait!” Zack thought of something as he spoke about his friends.

“Today is Wednesday, Kyle, Jessica, Richard and Amber all have work today. Well that plan is out the window.” Zack lamented as he began making his omelette, sprinkling in some mushrooms and spinach into the eggy mixture.

“I suppose I can just play some games, or just write to pass some time before doing something else.” Zack contemplated on what to do for the day, as he finished making his breakfast, and went about eating it once it was done.

~~Present~~

“Wait!” the mare said as she stopped her pacing as something came to her as she thought back to the events that happened that morning.

“After I made breakfast, I remember the TV going haywire, before everything…” the mare then developed a blank look on her face.

“I remember everything going, black…and….” The alicorn tried to recall the last bits of her memory from this morning, but she was drawing a blank around when she stood there trying to recall the rest of her memories.

“Damn it!” The mare grumbled as her horn shot out a smaller blast of magic at the ground, this time though only slightly scaring the mare, before she kicked a rock that was on the ground. Calming herself down again, releasing an exasperated sigh the mare continued talking to herself as she tried to formulate a plan.

“Well, whatever happened to me, I won’t find any answers, or figure out how to get back home by standing around here.” the mare said as she looked around her immediate surroundings, before glancing at her back, giving her wings a small fluff.

“…this is going to be painful; I just know it.” The mare outstretched her wings, and with a calming exhale the mare started to practice flying, as it would be better to look for help, than walking—trotting she corrected—on the ground. And as she summarized, it was indeed painful.

The few attempts that the mare took off from the ground, whether it was stationary or after a small gallop, the mare ended up crashing into the ground, and ending up getting some burnt grass and foliage in her mouth and mane. This went on for about half an hour, and eventually with proper wing cooperation, and steadying her center of gravity, the mare was finally able to get airborne. If there was one perk that came to this weird situation, the mare was able to experience something virtually every human dreams about, flying with their own wings.

Soaring over the forest a bit to get some practice in handling her new ability to fly, the mare then started to fly off from a nice distance away from the ground, where she then started to make her way out of the mountain range and flew over the landscape at a steady pace. And as the mare was flying she started to noticed that she was basically out in the middle of nowhere, as the landscape around her were either low line forest and open plains, and as of yet the only living things she has seen were birds flying around her, or animals she caught glimpses off on the ground, but no other equines like her. Or any other creatures so far that looked like they could help her.

But while the mare was she was flying a sudden thought came to her, and her eyes then drifted to look up at the horn just on the fridge of her gaze, and remembering the two energy blast’s that were shot from it. Stopping in mid-air the mare thought back to those two instances, trying to think what it felt like when she fired them. Although nothing came to mind. Trying a different strategy, the mare began thinking of building up energy, like they would do in the Dragon Ball franchise, minus the awkward and just weird stance the characters did whenever they tried to build up power. Nothing happened for a for few seconds but then after a moment of focusing on building up energy, and feeling something inside her start to stir up, the mare saw her horn lighting up. Smiling at her accomplishment, the mare then imagined firing a singular beam of energy, and almost immediately a narrow beam of violet energy shot out from the tip of her horn.

Testing out her new energy capabilities, the mare then fired a few more beams of magic, all them not really seeming powerful as they all dissipated a few seconds after being fired. Then the mare gathered up a bit more energy in her horn, and once she felt that she had gathered more energy than before, she again fired another beam. Though this time it was larger and thicker, and it managed to rocket towards the ground, smashing into a rather sizable rock and shattering it rubble.

“Okay. That is actually really cool!” the mare said gleefully as she was tempted to try and pull off more, anime-like energy blasts and techniques, but refrained against it.

“At least I know I have a good way of defending myself now, but let’s hope I don’t have to use it.” the mare then went back to flying and her search for anyone that might be able to help her.

Almost after an hour of aimlessly soaring through the skies in search of help, and any clue as to what happened to her and where in the great cosmic universe she was in, the mare still hasn’t come across anyone like her, or anything that resembled a town. She was starting to feel like maybe whatever has happened to her, she was the only one on this, whatever world she was on. Yet as time went on, onto nearly the second hour of flying blindly, the mare found something odd in the distance. It was a really tall narrow mountain, which she noted looked be oddly strange but then remembered about her current physical condition and the world she was in. But aside from it’s strange physical formation, what really caught the mare’s attention was what looked like a castle, which actually appeared to be built into the side of the narrow mountain. Continuing on the mare flew as fast as she could towards the castle, and when she reached it and was flying over a city that was also built into the mountain, she could see other equines all of various colors, wondering the streets of the city.

The mare then looked towards the castle, and thought about going to it, but then decided against it as a foreboding thought came to her. She wasn’t sure how the structure of this world’s population was like. So instead she made her way down to the city streets, hopefully a flying purple unicorn just dropping from the sky isn’t too big of a deal. But just as her hooves touched the ground, almost tripping over herself, the ponies in the street looked her way, and pretty much gasped in shock.

“Princess Twilight!” a pink unicorn said excitedly.

“It’s princess Twilight!” a skinny normal…pony? Said as he clapped his hooves.

“Princes, Princess Twilight! Can I get your picture!” a normal grey coated pony stallion said, as he raised a camera with a hoof, before snapping it to take the mare’s picture. Shaking the blinding light out of her eyes, the mare immediately shot back into the air, the sound of the equines voices drifting off as she continues to climb into the air. Now flying over the roof tops of the city, the mare rubbed her eyes, and tried to reorient herself as she mumbles to herself.

“Okay. I wasn’t expecting that kind of treatment.” She said as she shook the last of the dots out of her eyes, before being able to see more clearly. She made a quick glance down to the city, and saw that the crowd of ponies were still there, looking back up at her, before they all starting branching back off into whatever it was they were doing beforehand.

“So apparently I resemble the princess of these lands. If that is indeed the case…” The mare then turned to look at the castle.

“Then I guess going to the castle won’t be too bad of an idea. Plus! I can figure out where I am if I check the archives, or library, and finally get some kind of answers on where I am.” The mare then muttered something to herself as she made her was towards the castle.

“Theater classes and my many hours of TTRP, don’t fail me now!” with one final prayer the mare continued to fly towards the castle.
