Chapter 1: Trek Through The Everfree Forest

Chapter 1: Trek Through The Everfree Forest!

(Michael 1st Person POV)

As I slowly regain consciousness, I can hear the wind rushing past me and birds in the trees, I can feel soft grass under me and the sun radiating heat on my face. I begin to stir and fully gain consciousness, opening my eyes I find I’m in a dark forest with sunlight bleeding through the leaves. “Where am I?” I stand up off the ground and look around, Suddenly fitting music begins playing in my head and the words 'Everfree Forest' show at the top of my vision for a few seconds, “Wasn’t I just in the convention center? And why is Twilight Princess music playing in my head?” I hear a flowing river next to me and walk over to it. “A river, the water looks clean enough to me,” I reach for my pocket to pull out my metal flask I always keep on me only to pull out an [Empty Bottle]. “What the?” I then notice my reflection changed, I look at my reflection and jump back in surprise dropping the bottle, to which the bottle disappears into thin air, I slowly look back at the river to see that my reflection looks exactly like Adult Link from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, it even mimics my movements. “What happened to me?” I stand up and notice my Wooden replicas of the [Master Sword] and [Hylian Sheild] have gotten much heavier. “Did I just get turned into Link?” I then finally notice my voice has changed. “Even my voice has changed... Though I’m glad I’m not mute like in the games.” I look up at the sky to see that the sun is setting and decide to start a campfire to stay safe. After a few minutes of finding sticks and tree bark for a small fire, I was ready to start a fire. “Ok got the wood set up now to test a theory,” I put one hand behind my back under my shield and the other above my shoulder like grabbing an arrow, think of the fairy bow and fire arrows, grab the air, and pull out said [Fairy bow] and a [Fire arrow]. “That’s so freakin cool,” I aim the [Fairy bow] at my pile of wood and shoot the [Fire Arrow] at it lighting the Campfire. “Alright, with that taken care of it’s time to relax and take things slow,” I put away the bow and sit next to the fire to think.

(3rd Person POV)

After a few minutes, Michael starts to hear laughing and chuckling from a little far away, “Huh?” He stands up and draws the [Master Sword] and [Hylian Shield], “Who's there!?” The laughing stops.

“Did anypony just hear that?” one of the voices asked, nothing was said for a moment, “Um... Hello? Did somepony just say something?” Michael puts out his campfire, sheaths the Sword and Shield, and walks in the direction of the voices.

“Yeah I said something, I just woke up in this forest do you know where I am?” Michael walks through some bushes, The other voices gasp.

“Somepony got lost in the Everfree, we should help them.” a Gentle voice says quietly. Michael gets close to the voices but suddenly they hear what sounds like crying towards the river.

“What was that?” Michael looks back toward the river which the current has become violent, he doesn’t want to investigate but the Triforce of courage, which he doesn’t notice, makes him want to investigate anyway. “Meet me at the river, someone’s in distress,” Michael moves back toward the river to find out who’s crying and about what. After a bit of walking, he finds a purple sea serpent with half an orange mustache ripped off.

“What a world, what a world,” the Serpent hits the water causing a big splash.

“Excuse me, Sir, what’s wrong? Is there anything I can do to help?” Michael says to him, the serpent stops crying and looks at the man,

“Well I don’t know, I was just sitting here, minding my own business, when this tacky little cloud of purple smoke just whizzed past me and tore half of my beloved mustache clean off,” The serpent leans in close to show the damage. “And now I look simply horrid!” He dramatically falls into the river on his back splashing water all over Michael, soaking him.

“I understand completely,” The Serpent stops and looks at the wet Human turned Hylian, “I once had a luxurious beard that hung below my neck, It was bright red and made me look like a Ginger king, but when I came here it was taken from me, never to be seen again.” Michael clenches his fist in anger, “If I ever see the man that brought me here I’ll make him pay,” He calms down and looks at the serpent, “I wish I could help but all I can do I play you a soothing melody to calm your nerves,” The serpent thinks then nods, Michael pulls out the [Ocarina of Time] and plays the Song of Healing and the Song itself starts magically playing, The song finishes and it does indeed calm the Serpent down, but only until the other people he heard arrive, they’re 6 girls with strange coloring, tails, hooves, horns, and wings. This piques Michael’s interest but, when the serpent sees the others he looks at his ripped mustache and starts to cry again making everyone pay attention to him.

“Excuse me, Mr. Serpent, what’s wrong?” The Magenta furred, Purple-Haired one asks but, the serpent hides his face away from the girls, “If you don’t tell us we won’t be able to help you,” Michael speaks up crossing his arms and looking at the serpent,

“A 'tackey' purple cloud of smoke flew past him and cut off half his glorious mustache and now he thinks he looks hideous,” He says with a sad face, prompting the Cyan furred, Rainbow-haired one to scoff,

“Oh give me a break,” She pauses, “That’s what all the crying’s about?” This prompts the White furred, Purplish blue-haired one to rush in front of her.

“Why of course it is,” She walks closer to the river, “How can you be so insensitive,” He stops covering his face and looks back at the girls, “Oh, just look at him, such lovely luminescent scales,” He leans on the shore like he’s at a desk, “Your expertly coiffed mane,” He nods and runs a hand through his hair. “Your fabulous manicure,” He smiles and shows off his rounded nails, “All ruined without your beautiful mustache,” He regains his sad look, nods, and sniffles. “I simply cannot let such a crime against fabulosity go uncorrected!” She grabs one of his scales and rips it off.

“Oww, what did you do that for?” She doesn’t answer as she cuts off her tail making her friends gasp, She tosses the scale away and her horn lights up, her tail floats up and fashions itself to his ripped mustache giving it a half hot half cold look, The serpent gasps, “Oh! My wonderful mustache is revived!” She smiles at the serpent and the Magenta girl walks up behind her.

“Oh, Rarity, your beautiful tail,” She seems sad about ‘Rarity’ losing most of her tail, ‘Rarity’ responds aptly,

“It’s fine my dear, short tails are in this season, besides,” She pauses and looks at her tail, “It’ll grow back,” They all look toward the now calm river,

the Magenta girl gasps, “Hey, we can cross the river now,” she starts walking across the waist-high river but the serpent raises his body like a bridge.

“Allow me, as thanks for returning my Mustache to its former glory,” He looks at Michael, “You too kind sir, that song you played was very relaxing,” Michael thought about it for a second, nodded, and crossed the river with the girls. On the other side of the river, The girls were about to continue on their journey but they hear a loud thump behind them and look to see the man that played the music to the serpent, they then decided to introduce themselves to him.

“Hello sir, my name is Twilight Sparkle, thanks for helping with that sea serpent,” Twilight smiles, then the Rainbow one steps forward,

“Sup the name’s Rainbow Dash, Fastest flier in all of Equestria and future Wonderbolt!” She boasts, The white one steps forward,

“My name is Rarity Belle, thank you for helping with the fabulous sea serpent Darling,” She smiles and an Orange furred, Yellow-haired girl with a Cowboy hat steps forward,

“Howdy, Name’s Applejack, I run Sweet Apple Acres with my family back in Ponyville,” She tips her hat and a shy Yellow furred, Pink-haired girl slowly steps up,

“Hi, I’m Flutterhy...” Michael raises an eyebrow but understands her, Then the Pink one bounces around saying this too fast for anyone to understand. After what felt like a few minutes, Twilight stops the Pink girl and she talks normally,

“Hi, I’m Pinkie Pie, Do you like cake, do you like parties, when’s your birthday, what’s your name?” She says that in one breath somehow. Michael thinks for a moment then clears his throat,

“Hello, my name is Michael, but you can call me Link, I do not like cake very much, I do like parties, and my birthday’s in March,” Pinkie deflated for a second after he said he didn’t like cake that much, but after saying he liked parties she reinflated. “Can I follow you guys? I don’t know my way around this place and I really don’t want to get lost,” Twilight nods,

“Sure Link, we’re just on our way to The ancient castle of the two sisters to find the Elements of Harmony,” Twilight and the girls start walking and Michael follows close behind.
