Sunny Town, Equestria
100 Years Ago
Operation: Rescue Ruby and Escort Mitta to Safely (Make them Immortal if possible)
User: Ben M Logan
Weapons: Laser Pistol, Nano Armor, and Invisibility Suit.
Ben found himself in that familiar forest he used to watch on his holographic TV. Making sure that he was at the right time and right place, ben sighed in relief. Ben is a 23 year-old ex-soldier veteran, to be specific, the last military brony on Planet Earth. Yes, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This show ended almost 900 years ago, since then, many bronies were either dead, or never been found again. Now it'd been 900 years, this show is nearly forgotten, no more fancy fanfics, no more Bronycons, and no more bronies.
Dead.
Well, except for Ben.
You see, his family were all bronies. It's more like a family stuff than a hobby, every single generations of the Logan family were either bronies or military bronies. But as time pass, they passed on. And the memories are nearly forgotten. The only member in the Logan family that still watches MLP is Ben himself. He'd always wanted to go to Equestria, but people would laugh at him saying 'Get real kid', or 'Oh grow up already.' Yet he did not gave up.
Now, at the 30th Century, humans had mastered the way of immortality. Humans won't die naturally, but the elders could choose to end their lives peacefully by taking a type of poison that calms your nervous system and slowly shutting off your body function. And to be immortal, all you have to do is to take in a type of medicine; this is a green goo that would make you sleep for 24 hours, and during your sleep, the medicine would automatically kill off any cancer cells or virus in your body, and improve your systems, making you "Immortal."
After 10 Years of researching and building, Ben finished his inter-dimensional portal, he entered Equestria and searched beyond their universe. And surprisingly, he actually found it. After saying good byes to his family by making an excuse for "Cosmic Expedition", he set off towards Equestria. he brought many high-tech tools with him, including weapons, resources, and a time-travel gauntlet that'll allow him to travel to any time period as long as the battery runs on.
Back to Ben, who's in the Everfree Forest. ben always wanted to help those in need, he read lots of fan fiction, and the one that intersects him the most is the Legend of the Blanks. He hated the unfortunate ending for a certain filly name Ruby just for getting her cutie mark, and another mare who's her mother name Mitta.
And now, he has the power to alter the story.
"Computer, locate Sunny Town." Ben said to the mini-computer attached in his helmet. Immediately, a holographic rout emerged from his helmet, marking a short cut towards the town. According to the MLP Universe timeline, this is 100 years ago, the time when Ruby was murdered and Sunny Town was cursed.
"Hang in there Ruby..." ben muttered as he activated the jet pack behind him, he's a long way off towards Sunny Town, and feet is not the best way of travel.
He reached the height of 2,000 feet in the air and quickly increased the airspeed, now breaking the sound barrier, he's heading towards Sunny Town at the speed of Mach 3.8.
Meanwhile, at Sunny Town, things are just starting to heat up.
A certain gray filly with orange and yellow mane was surrounded by a bunch of other ponies.
“The mark! She has the mark!”
Grey Hoof had just got done setting up the balloons near the entrance fence, when he heard Three Leaf shout out with all of her lungs.
“Don’t let her spread it! Grey Hoof! Help us!”
Grey Hoof then let go the set of balloons he had in his teeth and they floated gently way. He ran with all of his might towards the town square and everpony was there. He could see Roneo, Starlet, Three Leaf, Gladstone and Mitta were all surrounding Ruby. Ruby looked like she was on the verge of crying and didn’t they say something about a..
“A mark! She has a mark!”
He was shocked as all the memories of what his GGF told him came rushing into his head. The pain, horror, and most importantly the town’s life was at stake! There were barely a few left in Sunny Town and if this went unchecked they would all be cursed with this pox!
“I have to stop this, I have to get rid of her, and I can’t the town die!”
“Ruby! You have the mark! You are hereby banished from Sunny Town! You have been warned now LEAVE!” shout Grey Hoof.
“But why!? I only wanted to help Roneo!”
“You wanted to help me by cursing us! What is wrong with you marked one!” rebuked Roneo.
“Yeah! You want to drive this town apart!?” Starlet spoke up.
“You will tear us apart! Get out just like Grey Hoof said!” spoke up Gladstone after looking at her mark.
“Bu.bu..but I just wanted to make everypony happy! I saw that you were…I….mom! Help me!” replied a very scared Ruby who was starting to tear up with fear.
Her mother Mitta did nothing but just stand there for about ten seconds before lowering her head. She didn’t know what to say to save her little daughter, for she had the mark. They all knew what the mark meant as they all heard the horror story of the past. Then Mitta spoke up slightly and said, "“Do…does she have to go? I mean what if we just live a little bit away from town and somepony can drop her some food every now and then……and…”
“Are you crazy?! It will just spread! Grey Hoof, help us out here!” yelled Gladstone.
Grey Hoof then stepped up to look at Ruby. She had a strange mark that looked like a magnifying glass. It looked harmless enough but that is what his GGF told him it started out like. It would only be a matter of time before it got worse and then all buck would break loose.
“You have to go Ruby, I cannot allow you to curse the rest of all of us. Go now or we will make you!”
Ruby was now just flat out frightened, she was shaking and flat crying. She then started to look at her mother as if saying “please help me”. But Mitta did nothing, but just stand and stare at the ground. She then spoke up one more time,
“Maybe we can send for help….I mean..it doesn’t have to be this way…Sunny Town is our home. We…you..all of you are our friends…I mean…please..”
“Grey Hoof! We can’t let her spread it! We need to end this now!” shouted Gladstone again.
“She needs to go. It is the only way. She will ruin it for everypony!” shouted Roneo.
Grey Hoof knew that this was a very bad situation but the future of the town was at stake and it was time to end it here and now. After thinking it over for what seemed like an eternity he made his choice that would forever change Sunny Town.
“Everypony! Get Ruby and stop her! Don’t let her ruin the party!” shouted Grey Hoof as her looked into Ruby’s eyes.
The look on her face was just flat out sad, and horrible. It looked a lot like sad Apple Bloom face but with only more fear, the type of dying like fear. She was on the ground trembling in fear, and then all the ponies started shouting with the exception of Mitta.
“Clop her!”
“Break her!”
“Rip her”
“Burn the mark!”
Then all of a sudden Ruby made a run for it. She got up on all fours and bolted for her house not too far away from Three Leaf’s. All of them including Mitta were in pursuit of Ruby, trying their best to catch her. Roneo, who was the fastest, was getting closer and closer on her tail, but Ruby just kept going. Eventually Ruby made it to her house and locked the door as she bolted inside.
Roneo was banging on the door as hard as he could when he got there. Unable to get it open, Gladstone joined in on banging the door down. The door however was just too tough, and they both gave up. They even tried to get in through the windows, but the windows were just too thin for a pony to fit through. After giving that up, they were them trying to convince her to come out but it was only a fruitless attempt.
Grey Hoof was pacing back and forth wondering what to do next.
“I don’t want to do this but she has given us no choice. She won’t leave and I won’t let this town fall apart. Now how do we get in….”
Then it hit him all of a sudden, Mitta was here.
“Mitta…do you have a key?” asked Grey Hoof.
Then everypony just stopped and looked at her. Mitta could feel their gaze piercing thought her soul. After they stared at her forever, she just broke down and gave them her spare key. Mitta didn’t want Ruby to die, but she didn’t want the town to be cursed as well.
“Please don’t hurt her. We’ll just send her away right?”
As much as Grey Hoof didn’t want to do this he just couldn’t allow her to go, not anymore. Even if Sunny Town were to be spared, other villages would be at risk. That was something he didn’t want to wished upon anypony. He then lied to her, while portraying himself to be utmost sincere,
“Yes Mitta...it will all be okay.”
And believing the liar that Grey Hoof was, Mitta pulled her key out (from where I have no clue but hey its MLP right?) and gave it to Grey Hoof with her hoof.
The then took the key and used it to open the door. All of the ponies then rushed inside to find Ruby cowering in a corner.
“NO! PLEASE DON’T! I JUST WANTED TO HELP!”
“You’re just going to ruin everything. Sorry Ruby, but your mark ends here! Clop her everypony!”
Then it all happened so fast, everypony’s hoof was crushing Ruby. Blow after blow, she just kept screaming and shouting,
“STOP! STOP! AHHHHH!”
Suddenly, they all heard a strange noise coming, it sounded like a whistle, but louder... The noise was above them.
Everypony looked up, and their jaws dropped at the sight: A bipedal creature was flying in the mid-air, it wore some sort of armor, and a mask. None can see the expression on its face, but its tone of voice told them the rest.
"ENOUGH!" It shouted in Royal Canterlot voice, "LEAVE THE CHILD!"
The it landed in front of them, suddenly, another robotic voice sounded from the creature, "Target confirmed: Ruby, Earth Pony filly. Health status, Low, near death. Second Target confirmed, Mitta. Earth Pony, Mental Health Status: Unstable. Main objective reached, eliminating the rest."
"I am not impressed," The creature said in a cold tone that send shudder down everypony's spine. Except Ruby, who's out cold. Which is for the best, cuz what's coming next is not child appropriate, "beating a innocent child, you are on my death list."
Then, the creature opened fire.

Ben's POV
"You are on my death list." ben said cooly, these guys were just like the rapists back on Earth, or abuser. His own sister were killed in this way, now witnessing rape again, it snapped him.
He immediately activated the plasma weapon system. This motherfuckers are going DOWN.
(It would look something like this: Iron Man as Ben, the kid is Ruby, that fat dude is Grey Hoof and his fuckers.)
15 minutes later...
Now Grey Hoof and his fellow assholes were laying dead, Ben's blasters were smoking, he scanned the bodies. Some lost their heads, their limbs, organs, others were blown into pieces. There's no such thing as mercy for those assholes.
Mitta was stunned, Ruby is slowly waking up. Seeing her daughter's eye were about to set on the bloody skirmish, she quickly ran over and covered her eyes.
"M... Mom?" the filly weakly asked.
"It's okay... I'm here... It's safe now..." Mitta said in a still terrified tone, now looking back at Ben, who's staring straight at them. The strange weapons were now gone, replaced by... Claws? But it's not boney or sharp as she expected. And the technology... She realized something.
"You're... You're not from around here isn't it?" she hesitatingly asked.
The creature bend down to her level, and surprisingly, using a gentle and charming tone, "No, I've come for you and you daughter. But there's no worries, I mean you no harm," he then glanced at the bloody skirmish, "unless I encounter things like them."
Mitta held the verge of throwing up, her hooves still covering Ruby's eyes.
"Mom? What's going on?" the filly asked.
"Shh... Nothing's bad now, you're safe, Grey Hoof is dea... Gone." Mitta said, trying to make the situation sound as appropriate as possible. Ruby slowly fell asleep from the exhaustion earlier. Mitta sighed in relief.
"We should leave before more trouble comes." Ben said, taking out the "immortality" medicine, "Here, have Ruby drink this."
"What..." Mitta studied the green liquid in the bottle curiously.
"It's a type of medicine that can make you immortal from my homeland." Ben explained, trying to make this as simple as possible.
Seeing Mitta's surprised face and hesitations, Ben quickly added, "There's no side-effects."
After confirming, Mitta slid the liquid into her daughter's mouth, then her's by Ben's suggest.
"Good, now follow me," Ben said, walking into the Everfree, "I'll take you girls to a better place to live."
"Better than Sunny Town?" Mitta asked.
"You bet."
(~)
Ben stopped at the front of the Everfree Forest, Ponyville is in front of them, Mitta was surprised again, this place is nothing like Sunny Town; instead everypony has the mark, which she learned from Ben, the ponies called them 'cutie marks', and it wasn't some stupid curse. Instead, it's a gift for a filly yo have them. It's the sign that they've found their special talent.
But when she asked how did Ben knew some much and where di he come from, what she got as answer is, "Where I'm from or what I am doesn't matter. My job is to keep you and Ruby safe. But I can only tell you one thing; I can change fate."
The result is that Mitta and Ruby were accepted by the ponies in Ponyville easily, which was a surprise for them both. Lastly before Ben leaves for the future, Mitta asked him, "Will we meet again?"
Ben took off his helmet and revealed a handsome face, he shot her a charming smile, "Oh I'm sure we will... One day."
Mitta blushed while Ruby has a curious expression by her mother's reaction. (Here's something about Mitta; she's a widow.)
"Well, then... We will meet again in the future," ben said before stepping into the light portal he made using the gauntlet, "have a good, immortal life Mitta. Good bye Ruby." Then, he stepped into the portal, disappearing in a flash.
Mitta still has that blush on her face, "We... Must meet again..." she muttered.
Author's Note
Haha! An alternate ending to Ruby's story! Where will Ben go next? What adventure will come? Will Mitta and Ben meet again? Why they develop a relationship?
This is what Ben's Armor looks like: (wrist sword on his right hand can turn into a plasma plasma crossbow or a blaster. In this suit, Ben could go 2 times faster than the speed of sound when running or flying, it also provides him fast reflexes.)
