The beginning? Wait...

The entire atmosphere was different, it felt rather strange as he had begun to reach consciousness once more. Yet, he wasn't quite expecting to wake up in the cold forest around him. So his eyes took a bit to adjust, looking up into the sky he would see that the day had passed by while he was asleep.

Rubbing the back of his head as he felt that he had hit his head rather hard, but what caused it? Reaching behind to feel that he had a bit of a bump and a crusty feeling, moving his hand back forward it was his own blood. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, of course a rock would cause him such an injury but he just felt like an idiot! "Wow, first official injury other then a broken leg from falling into a hole is by a rock that wasn't even thrown? Jeez, not my time here. Then again, I guess that this world is certainly not as kind as I thought. Which raises the question." He said, as he slowly moved towards a nearby tree leaning his back against it as he felt his body was sore from the ground.

"I never really thought about it, but if I was asleep throughout the day then... That means, that right now since the summer sun celebration was being put into motion. That... No way!" He would stand upright excited, "That means that the Mane 6 are going to be taking on Nightmare Moon and winning right about now!" He would think about this briefly, looking at his hands. "Right now, I should not use my powers unless its an emergency, its very clear it has a major toll on me and if I pass out on a cliffside and time is frozen? I would just be dead."

Slowly he raised a hand then snapped his fingers as time began to rewind, he watched as the events around him unfolded and strangely enough? The Dryad came by a few times to check in on him but didn't move him? He would see that she was clearly keeping him in place to ensure that the wound on his head was blocked? "What? Why wouldn't she move me and treat the wound?" He got scared quite quick as he felt that the wound was worse off then it was.

He would let out a nervous laugh, as he watched it turn to sunset and then wave to freeze time. "Okay, right around here I would think that they would be starting to head through the mountains. If that is the case, then I need to get moving! But wait... Where is this castle? I remember only a bit of where they would have gone..." He growled to himself, as he stood upright. "Welp, time to get to the hospital and see what they have to work with. Can't afford any medical care right now if they take bits." He thought to himself, was it really right to treat his wounds with supplies from a hospital without letting them know? He couldn't help but shrug, "Eh they won't link it to me I bet."

Starting on his way back towards ponyville, he would try to move quickly with a light jog as he felt an energy filling him that he hadn't known before. It was a strange feeling like Adrenaline, yet with a smile on his face he went into a full run as he charged towards town and with a bit of maneuvering his stature would be panting in front of the hospital with a weak laugh and sweat dripping from his form. "Going to need to see if I can get Rarity to make me some clothes, Sure that she could help me out and would be all to eager with me being a human. Although, wait... Would revealing myself only get Twilight involved and then the princesses?" Hands raising to his head only to start scratching it in frustration only for his eyes to widen as he felt himself tug a piece of the wound on the back of his head. "Oh shit." Rushing in he began to quickly shift through things.

It had taken him roughly 15 minutes to find the items he needed, some bandages as well as some cleansing oils, since he couldn't find peroxide or any of the stuff he was used to. "Cleansing oils can work for now, but I need to get moving!" He would state, as he would check the wrapping in what looked like a Mirror hung up. Satisfied with the quick job he would rush out the door, and begin his way towards the exterior of ponyville. "Okay, the only way I am going to know where they went, unfortunately is to actually follow the Mane 6. Which means if they were about here towards the mountains over there then." He would snap his fingers to rewind, as it would take a little bit before he had seen them. He was a few kilometers off, as he had seen the backs of the mane 6. He figured he could have stolen a look at what they looked like as Anthro's but! He had to be calm and see this through. So he would quickly begin to move towards the mountains. He knew that they would be able to get back to where he was, so he had to keep periodically checking them! "Why is it that I state I need to be more careful with my power and not overuse it and here I am doing the OPPOSITE!?" He screamed at himself, mentally cursing.

After a couple hours of fixing things up, he would then find himself at the castle outside with the others starting to head in. Seems that they had arrived 15 minutes after Twilight! Would explain how they arrived in time to save the day! Starting to play time again hiding behind a bush, he jumped up and down eagerly! He was excited to see the Rainbow! The Rainbow of Friendship! As time began to play, he sat there. Rocking back and forth, and was smiling ear to ear.

....Yet it never came, something was wrong. His eyes slowly began to widen, as he would quickly shuffle out of the bushes only to rush in. He didn't think of his powers at all at this point, he was worried for their safety and the safety of all of Equestria! Running up the stairs, panting a bit from exhaustion of the day that had occurred! He had walked in to see all the Ponies down for the count?! "Whats going on here?!" He would shout out in disbelief, as they all seemed to just be asleep but not killed. Yet they shuffled, and moved around as if they were having nightmares each!

A laugh echoed throughout the castle, as a voice was heard. "Oh, so I see that these ponies aren't alone are they?~ Who might you be." The form would slowly begin to come together, only to form Nightmare Moon and MAN was she an exotic beauty! First off, he was a legging/thigh high man. He always was a sucker for the way it brought out a womans charm, but the fact that she wore a black form of leggings along with a light blue armor! It was rather skimpy, the thong that covered her going barely did any justice but did the job. Riding right up into her ass, as the chestpiece pronounced her breasts! They showed that her tips were definitely pointed out in the armor. Then the head piece with the flowing night sky in both her tail and hair! With those sharp fangs that looked like they could bite into a minotaur! It just sent shivers down his body! He would then raise a brow towards her. "Do you know what I am?"

She would only look at him confused, as she slowly began to move forward. "You are a hairless Pony, who will simply fall just like these 6 did before you." This made him confused as he would think to himself, while she started to go on a monologue, "Wait... This means all those stories that I read, they didn't line up at all... They have never seen a human before, that and they just think he is a hairless Pony? Well, that lined up a bit but he himself felt a little offended. He couldn't quite understand why that was always the first thought when Ponies would see a human. He would sigh to himself as he would then look her up and down. She seemed to have finished her speech, rather confident in herself only for him to look her in the eyes. "You can't beat me Nightmare Moon..."

His tone was rather dark and sinister, which caused her to move back slightly, Speaking up she would retort. "Oh you think so? Doust though truly think that thy can destroy a princess of the night!" When she started to speak in old language he knew that he had her a little bothered since she was speaking fine just a moment prior. he continued, "What makes you think that you truly know what I am? A hairless Pony really?" He would laugh to himself, only to find her running forward and immediately a fist slammed into his face, knocking him flying back and down the stairs. A rather comical moment for any onlookers, as he would shout out in pain. "Ow, oof, ugh! Ow AW COME ON!" He would land at the bottom, only for her to smirk a bit and burst into a fit of laughter. "Dost though truly think with that power you can win?!"

He raised a hand and began to slowly wave only to see her charging down the stairs head first to stab him with her horn. Flinching a bit, as timed slowed to a standstill, the moment he opened his eyes he would look and see her horn was not even an inch away from his right eye! "WOAH! Close call as they make them!" Using his hands to move back in a crawl, as he would slowly stand up wincing, he felt immense pain and his eyes, raising a hand to them he would find that his vision was getting blurry. "Oh shit... I'm gonna die.." He would start moving up the stairs, as he felt his strength leaving him, bit by bit he would move forward towards Twilight. "Come on man, not like this. This just isn't fair." He would state, before falling over just a couple feet before the Purple Unicorn. Slowly crawling with each passing grunt, and touching her hoof, "You gotta get up..." Nudging her bit by bit as some strange magic began to work out of his hand, a greenish hue enveloping Twilight as she began to wake up. A smile on his face as he looks at her slowly sitting upright coughing up blood. "Bout time you woke up, You can't die here, you got friends who need you and Equestria..." His face would hit the floor as he would once again find himself going unconscious.

His eyes would open to a dark space all around him, as he would see his hands in front of him looking rather lit up. "What? Oh god did I fucking die or did I go into the dreamscape of Luna?" beginning to walk forward, he would start to see some strange orbs appearing, and in them were his memories. "Ah shit, yup this is death coming to collect! Life flashing before my eyes through orbs of memory? Definitely a big give away."

He would look at himself, "But I don't want to die like a chump when I finally have a chance to help!..... This isn't even about meeting my heroes, and learning about Equestria, I have power and the ability to help... I can't go down like this!"

Slowly he felt something on his cheek, reaching up to rub away at some liquid. "What? How did thi-" A voice would snap him back as a giant window of light opened up above him. There Twilight sat, seemingly crying? "Wait... Why would she cry about me? That doesn't make any sense, she doesn't even know me?!" He asked, as he would hear her talking to herself.

"Who even are you?.... What did you do here? I can sense magic but, I don't see them breathing... I can't feel the wind, and the sky isn't moving! You can't just wake me up like that not knowing me and thinking that I can just understand what you mean! You woke me up! That means you need to wake up!" He would see her horn begin to glow as he felt his body beginning to feel light. "Wait... Whats going on?" The window where she spoke closed up as his body began to move in reverse. "Wait wait, am I not dying anymore! Shes healing me!?" He laughed to himself in celebration! "WOOHOO! LET'S GO!" He would find his eyes slowly opening, as he looked at her. "Yo, first up, Human, Second, Time Stop." He would chuckle, only for her eyes to shake the tears still flowing as he began to stand up. "Wait, you can't get up yet! Your still injured!"

He would laugh as he stretched a bit, "As you said, I woke you up, you woke me up and things aren't going the way you want. Well, in this case you need to make it work! Can't you feel that spark inside you?! These mares here? They are literally here to help you, that spark of friendship is what you need for the elements!" He would laugh, as he would clap his hands together, then wave only for the sound of an explosion to erupt below. "I will distract her, best I can but... I don't quite know how to control my powers, you wake the mares up! Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Finally Fluttershy." He laughed a bit to himself getting excited once more. "Wasn't expecting to have to do this, but you know what? Not everyday the story you know and the story you make are the same! Just have to pave your own path!" He charged down the stairs, as she was rushing up and her eyes widened in surprise to feel him tackle her down the stairs by the waist! "Got ya!"

Twilight began to wake up the mares one by one, as she started to think up a plan but below there he had been fighting for a bit with just raw strength and adrenaline. Blood dripping from his head, as he looked at her. "N-not using magic? D-doesn't that defeat the purpose of fighting me at full strength?"

She would retort, "Well your right, why don't I use magic right now?!" She would start to charge up a rather large blue blast of energy. "Fuck me! Why did I open my big mouth!"

The ball would start to build up only to launch towards him, as behind her. She would hear the sounds of ponies! The blast would hit him and knock him flying out the window and into the water down below! As he fell he could only laugh, "Yep, they underplayed how powerful ponies are! Yet here I am thinking I am on equal ground with a god damn Alicorn. Whats wrong with me?!" The last thing he saw as he closed his eyes, was a blue blur. "Rainbow...Dash..." his body went limp at that moment.
