How Do I Get By On My Own?

Taking some time to think about it, as he had rushed past the enemies. His thought process came back full circle, as he had looked around. He didn't know what was happening, everything was so abrupt and those sisters seemed to have done him a favor by combining their efforts to give him this power. Yet, something about all this was rather strange, and he wasn't sure what to do about it.

The first thing that ran through his head was about the woman of the forest, she seemed rather content with messing with him during the timberwolf incident the first time! Yet, now here she was trying to help him out only for him to get surrounded? He felt that there was a link here that lead to this whole string of events. So, when he got to the clearing nearby in the forest he sat down on an open stump that shined with the sunlight down upon it.

A pondering look, he crossed his legs and truly took a moment to think. "Everything started when I got here, Ditzy Doo managed to help me after getting out of the Everfree forest. My knowledge on this world is limited due to how long it has been since I have watched the series but one thing was for certain. Those creatures? They were Changelings, but the one at the front? That didn't seem like Queen chrysalis, yet their behavior was that of a leader none the less. So who were they? An ambush tactic though... It was as if they were ready and waiting for me or her... How would that come to be."

He slowly leaned back only to flail his arms at the sudden lack of a wall behind him and fall backwards onto the ground beneath him with an audible thud. "Ow... Guess I am still a bit of a clutz myself... But regardless of that, something seems just different here. Things aren't lining up with the original story, or at least what I remember... Isn't Fluttershy more nearby the Everfree then Ditzy? But then again maybe Ditzy was on her way back from delivering a package to her... Then we also have the Deer woman... She seemed to always know where I was.. So in the end wouldn't that be on par with a fae or dryad? I remember that from my DnD days at the very least, but I can't figure out which one she is... But if the Changelings were following her then wouldn't they have already attacked or at least taken advantage of the situations ever present to attack?"

In frustration he began to scratch at his head in frustration. A sigh escaping his lips, as his arms then laid limp at his sides. "Well, instead of speculating! Its best that I go back to where this started then! Ditzies house!" Standing upright, he would begin to move forward towards town. It would have taken him roughly 15 minutes from where he was before he had arrived outside of the Everfree Forest.

Looking around, he took advantage of the time stop to at least get an idea on what was going on. He would be outside of Ditzies home, noticing the window open; he would hop through and into the home. Noticing that the inside looked like it was a little bit destroyed? "Looks like a tornado ran through her house, maybe if my theory is correct then they were looking for me." The living room, it had a few shattered vases, with dirt as well as a variety of plants strewn about on the floor. The tables that held them, flipped upside down or slightly broken with even some doors slammed open perhaps based on the damage. Unhinged or tilted so it wouldn't fit anymore.

The kitchen upon entering looked like the cabinets were completely thrown out onto the floor, a variety of flour, flowers, hay and baking supplies thrown onto the floor. Wondering if he could perhaps find Ditzy, he began to look around the house as the same story was everywhere throughout the house before the upstairs window in the attic looked to be opened. Taking a moment, he then went back to find the only other open windows were downstairs. Sitting down on a crate that was nearby, he would look out and see the path towards the Everfree. "This doesn't look good."

Moving back downstairs, he would see that the town of Ponyville was just within reach yet the town looked to be abuzz. what could be keeping them so busy? Curiosity once again being driven through his body, he started around. noticing only now with a good chance to see them that the ponies here were more along his type. Seeing that Lyra and Bon Bon were rather busty, with some nice curves. He wasn't one to usually look at a bust chart, so he would find it to be hard to tell what they were rocking but definitely a body type you would find online in art! Rather voluptuous! Nice rounded hips, tail out the back, nice firm thighs and some even with soft supple lips, a nice show of clothing style! not many were the same at all but one thing was for certain, he was going to have a fun time here if the other stories he had read were to go by. Yet this power, why did he decide to make it so complicated? that would only make it harder for himself!

He had to think about this carefully, and thus he came up with an idea. Why was he worrying so much about the whole situation? Why was he acting like such a god damn coward? No one could touch him right? A smirk began to appear on his face as he turned heel to toe back towards the Everfree. "Guess that means that I can really let them have it without any real actual skill in combat!" Confident in his skill, it would take him roughly an hour before he had arrived, noticing some timberwolves along the way.

The Changelings were all still there, same with the Woman whom they had supposedly come for. Yet, maybe they came for him? He couldn't quite recall, just that he needed to be careful... There was that mind set again, slapping his cheeks he would notice the group was made up of at least 10 Changelings. The one in the front that was confident had a big toothy grin on their face, as this made him growl. "Cocky assholes who gang up on people...." Throwing a nice firm punch, into his jaw would cause him to feel it reverberate through his hand causing him to hiss! "Chitin... right... Damn thats tough!" Looking around, he would find a decent sized rock and smiled. "Bugs normally get squashed by something heavy, so maybe.." Picking up the rock, he would move towards a nearby sapling that seemed rather sturdy. Working on finding something for a potential way to hold them together! He would find some Ivy on the nearby trees. "Its times like these that I wish that I had taken the opportunity to learn some camping tricks. But maybe its like a shoelace!"

The process would end up taking a few hours, as he seemed a bit out of breathe due to the frustration of this endeavor. "Finally, its done..." Looking at the axe he felt the struggle was worth it before he then thought back to a game he played back on Earth. The Forest, and they would sometimes use the teeth of the cannibals to emphasize more damage. Looking towards the Changelings, he would laugh a bit as the only one smiling was the confident leader! A sly grin on his face, he would raise his axe only to then realize upon closer inspection that the leader was female and the other 9 were male... His Morales were being brought into question now. "Damn it!" He never truly took a chance to look them over due to changelings not necessarily showing easier but he knew they morphed to fit the desires of those they wish to get the love off of. So of course this one was busty as hell, but he looked to the other Changelings and sighed, as he began to open their mouths and bash them in the face to grab a few sharp fangs out of the groups of broken teeth. A gruesome endeavor, but in the end he didn't have magic like they did so he couldn't just... wait his time stop was magic wasn't it?

Beginning to raise his axe with the now mud plastered axe that had the teeth of the changelings. He proceeded to start bashing them around bit by bit, not on the verge of death but to definitely hurt them and make a point. Afterwards, he would move towards the deer woman, and pick her up with a bit of difficulty as he jumped down into the hole. This would cause him to have some serious pain, as he would then snap his fingers to rewind time! Not wanting to immediately assume what might occur but he needed to see if what he did while time was stopped stayed with him or rewound. This was proven to be false, as his axe he worked on for so long? Stayed the same as it looked like the changelings reformed back to their original position. A smirk would then form on his face, "That means that maybe I can fix my mistakes if I make any... Yet I shouldn't use this power carelessly either.." He would frown to himself as he would wink causing time to fast forward back to the time frame he was at before the rewind. "I Don't want to really mess things up if I fuck with time..."

Moving over towards the Adagio sisters, he would then proceed to look through their supplies in the back and notice a nice alchemical set up. The status window opened up as it showed recipes he could make, but he then saw his states that were originally at 5 each.

Lix: Level 5

Str: 15

Dex: 12

Int: 16

Wis: 13

Cha: 14

This made him smile as he thought back to each thing he did to acquire this. "Notifications don't pop up during leveling or gaining stats. So perhaps, beating on the changelings raised my strength, all the thinking and deduction raised my intelligence and wisdom! Dexterity was possibly raised by all the moving around and creating the axe, but why was my charisma raised? Was it perhaps because of me ogling the towns folk to get a better idea on their style and clothes?" Fist pumping into the air in celebration he chuckled. "Alright!" looking towards the recipes before him, he would see that as of current there was a rewrite magic spell and a health potion. Yet he could only make the rewrite magic spell, which caused him to raise a brow. The ingredients in the surrounding environment were taken and even the briar heart was used in its creation. "That would explain why they wanted it...." Taking the potion, he would then look at the alchemy set up and sigh, "Would be a shame to let this place go to waste but this is too dangerous to give to them..." He would proceed to start to destroy all their equipment as much as possible to ensure that they couldn't use it. Even going so far as to grab some of the glass to enhance the damage on it. "Maybe with this and the fangs I can cause some serious damage... but the mud solidified? Interesting..."

Moving back towards the exit of the hole, he would start to climb the book case, finding that when he jumped he was able to jump a bit higher then normal? "Is this thanks to the raise in my dexterity?" Getting out of the hole, he would then go towards where the deer woman was and stand in front of her. Giving a wave, time began to slowly continued and as it did, all the changelings began to feel the beating they took as hit after hit slammed into them in rapid movement before they all laid on the ground knocked out. "Thats more like it! I took them down and defended us whoo!" He jumped in celebration, as the deer woman immediately looked confused as hell, eyes bulging out briefly before she looked at him then at them with her jaw dropped. "What did you..." Only then did he feel himself start to have all his actions catch up to him as his vision got blurry. "Oh fuuuckkk...." Falling backwards, she would abruptly catch him as he passed out from Fatigue.

The last words he would hear came from her, "Such a foolish human.... but... A strange charm and silliness to him..." causing him to smile as sleep took over, what happened while he was asleep? maybe next time we will find out.~
