A highschooler gets summoned to Equestria and is given the ability to summon any weapon that he wishes.

William, is not your ordinary highschooler, he is introverted, quiet, a tad bit impatient, and has an obsession with firearms that others would consider downright creepy, he also happens to have a closet obsession with My Little Pony. One day after going to a sleepover he is brought to Equestria by Griffon, Dragon and Changeling mages and given the ability to summon any piece of military hardware he so wishes in hopes that he would lead them to victory against the ponies of Equestria. He is happy, but when he discovers their attempt to deceive him...

Ok, well... It really wasn't deceiving. Because they never told him who they wanted him to go up against. But regardless!....

Just another,typical Friday morning

William got out out of bed for yet another day at school, it was Friday which meant that tomorrow he'd be able to get back to the gun range, smiling dimly at this prospect he walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table.

"What's for breakfast today?" He asked his mom.

"Hashbrowns and crepes, your favorite"

He pumped his fist in a silent "yes!"

the dim smile on his face turned back into a frown as his little brother entered the room, sat down on the couch and preceded to begin watching an episode of Pokémon.

Which he of course Hated.

"Mathew", He said calmly
"WHATTHEHELLAREYOUTHINKINGIJUSTWOKEUPISHOULDNTHAVETODEALWITHNONSENSELIKETHIS!"
He yelled out in one long line.

Obviously eliciting no reaction from his 9 year old brother.

Thank goodness his mom interfered. "Honey, Please change it to something you both can watch."

"Oh, alright mom"

His little brother switched off Netflix and began to surf through the channels, one thing in particular caught his ear "Ammo prices soar in wake of mass violent protests in san Francisco, Oakland, and Sacrame- his little brother switched the channel before he could hear any more.

"Hey!, That was important!"

"To you maybe, but mom said something that we both like."

He sighed, and went back to his breakfast.

"The worlds really gone to hell in recent years, and there ain't nothing I can do about it" He though to himself. William finished up the rest of his breakfast, got his stuff ready for school, and hopped into the car.

"Sure hope that test isn't to hard."

Just another day at school...

20 minutes of driving later...

Williams car pulled up in front of his highschool, right on time as usual and was greeted by 2 of 3 his only friends, Dustin and Tia.
"Hey there will!" Tia called out.

"Good to see you guys too", he responded back, " And how many times have I asked you to to not call me Will?"

"Don't know, we've kinda lost track"

"Ugh, Its alright, just please don't do it again, It gets on my nerves."

The three of them headed into the building.

Alright, first class of the day, Spanish class. This shouldn't be to hard. He was right of course. His teacher, Mrs. Adams, gave them all plenty of time to study before hand. And when the test finally came he was done in about half an hour. Turned in his test, and gotten out his notebook, as he flipped through the pages he passed by a picture of a character he had been working on. A tall, strange pegasus which he had been doing sketches of. he heard a voice from next to him ask. "What is that thing?" "Looks like a fox" responded another. He quickly slammed his notebook shut. It was Ester and Kevin. The nosiest couple in the whole of tenth grade.

"Classified" He responded.

"By who?" Ester asked.

"By me." He responded back.

The bell for first period rang, and he headed out the door.

"Note to self, Don't try #### like that in class again."

His next class of the day was Geometry, which aside from the usual pain of going through math class was completely uneventful.

His final class of the day was English.

"Alright class, get out your copies of 'Antigone' we're going to be reading to page 90 today, if you are already done, you can do anything you want so long as it doesn't bother the rest of the class." Seeing that he was a fast reader, and already done, he pulled out his favorite book of all time 'my side of the mountain' and began to read." Hey William, check out my drawing, what do you thing about it?" He looked away from his book and at Sophia, It was a picture of rainbow dash.

He Groaned to himself "Go figure, She's the edgiest of the pegeasister's and 'fans' at this school."

"No" Was his vehement response.

" What do you mean by 'No'?" She asked him.

"Just, No" He repeated.

the final bell of the day rung. He put his stuff away and he left the classroom, walked down the hallway, down the stairwell, and out the front entrance of the school. where he was greeted by his friends. "Hey William, were going over to Dustin's house to play some Call of Duty, wanna come?"

He shrugged, "Sure, why not, after all, you need someone to critique those unrealistic firearm mechanics, just give me a minute to call my parents and tell them that."

"Hey!" Dustin exclaimed, "they aren't THAT unrealistic".

"Sure they aren't." Responded William in a sarcastic tone, the 4 of them laughed, and seated themselves in Dustin's car.

First Contact

Meanwhile just beyond Equestria's borders...

After being defeated by the forces of Equestria and the elements of harmony multiple times over, the Dragons, griffons, and Changelings had decided to ally themselves with one another in hopes that they could brainstorm a solution to their problems.

"Alright, Now that we are all here, Who has any Ideas on how to defeat Equestria?"

"I do!" said the griffon mage

"Yes, Blackeye?"

"I have heard legends of an ancient race called 'Humans', while most of them lack the ability to do magic, they all have one collective trait, immense undying cruelty and a drive to survive, which has led to them creating weapons the likes of which our own world has never seen before"

"Are you saying we should try to recruit one?" Asked the dragon mage.

"Yes, We will give them the ability to summon any weapon from their own world that they so desire, and they shall lead us to victory against those meddling Equestrians!"

"And what do you propose we do If they aren't cooperative? "Asked the changeling mage.

"They won't, responded the griffon mage "once we explain our predicament to them, I'm sure they will be more than happy to help us."

"Alright, Lets begin." Responded the dragon mage.

Back on earth...

The 4 of them pulled up to Dustin's house, walked into it, and hopped onto the couch, Joey put some popcorn on the stove to cook, and the other 3 of them began to play. About 15 minutes latter the timer on the stove beeped.

"Hey William, can you grab the popcorn?"

"Sure". He murmured, his voice filled with annoyance. He got up off the couch, and walked into the kitchen, suddenly he was engulfed by a blinding bright light and blacked out

"It worked!" A voice out of sight cried.

William's eyes shot open and he stood up to find were the voices were coming from, what he saw shocked him. Standing there was a dragon, a changeling, and a griffon.

"Greetings human, we have brought you here to help us with something very important!"

He rubbed his eyes. And they were still there, standing in front of him.

"Well, I've read more than enough Human in Equestria stories to know that I didn't just fall and hit my head to hard. Fascinating." He thought to himself, scratching his chin. "Let's play along and see what they want."

"So, What do you want?"

"My name is Blackeye" Said the griffon, motioning to his constituents. "Hunter" Said the dragon. "Razor" Said the changeling.

"Pleasure to meet you all. Now, why am I here?"

We have summoned you here in hopes that you may help us in our fight against our common foe, Equestria!"

"Oh really?" William responded in a sarcastic tone, waving his hand.

"Yes, you see, upon bringing you here we gave you the ability to summon any piece of human weaponry that you wish."

At this His eyes widened," You're joking right?"

"No, We are not"
A deep malicious grin began to form on his face began to form as a plan began to formulate in his head. So vivid he could almost hear it ringing in his ears.
"So, will you help us human?"

"Sure."

"Now follow me, we have much work to do."

"By the way," Said the griffon mage, turning to look back at William. "We never bothered to ask you your name, what is it? If you even have one, that is."

"It's William." William tucked his hands into his pockets and whistled innocently.

"Well William, I'm not sure why, But I have the feeling this is the start of a wonderful partne- Friendship! Yes, Friendship!"

"If you say so..." The malicious grin still spread wide across his face. He thought about tapping his fingers together like a cartoon villain, but decided against it for the moment.

Next time, try someone more gullible

William walked down the hallways, until he and the mages came to a laboratory of sorts.

"Alright, so what do you want me to do now?" Asked William.

" Try summoning a weapon of sorts."

"And how do I do that?"

"Try thinking of one", said Blackeye.
He thought of his fathers handgun, a simple Glock 19, he could feel a tingling feeling in his hand, followed by glowing sparks. However his enthusiasm was short lived, and the sparks soon vanished.

"Keep trying human-er... William, you will get it eventually. Me and my fellow mages are going to rest, that spell we performed took quite a bit out of us."

"There are guards by the door, ask them if you need anything."

"Thank you for you support "William grunted, raising his middle finger.

the 3 mages left the room, leaving William alone under a flickering magic light.

"Better get practicing" He said to himself, cracking his neck.

4 hours later...

After several LONG hours of practicing, he had finally seemed to have gotten the hang of it.

It was tiring at first, but he finally got the hang of it, sort of. He still needed... 'Live test subjects'.

Just then, the 3 mages walked in. Back from their nap and brimming with joy.
" Alright", He thought to himself "this is my chance to enact my plan."

"So, William... Have you figured it out?"

"Well, yes." He shrugged, and clapped.

"Can we see?" Asked Razor, buzzing closer.

William manifested a Glock 19 into his hand and racked the slide.

"...What does it do?" Asked all 3 of the mages at the same time."

"Wehehellll........That's a secret."

"Why?" Asked Hunter, claws impatiently scraping at the stone floor below.

William turned back to the table, and made the Glock disappear. Instead manifesting a silenced MP5, or "MP5SK." Something that was out of his reach as a civilian normally, but... Normal, didn't apply now.

"What are you doing?" Asked the mages in unison.

"You know, I knew all about what you were planning and what you meant by 'help' as soon as you said it. I'm not an Idiot."

So, next time, try someone more gullible rats!"

He spun around, and put a 9mm round through each of the mages heads with an almost insidious laugh.

"What was that?!"Yelled the 2 guards outside, scrambling through the doorway with spears raised.

They turned into the room, only to be met by 2 more bullet's from Williams MP5SK. They dropped dead in puddles of their own blood.

He now stood alone, surrounded by the bodies of the mages and the guards.

"I Can't believe I just did that..." He said out loud, He could feel his heart beating, he wasn't used to the adrenaline.

"Well there's no time to freak out now. I've got to get out of here!"

He dragged the bodies of the guards into the room, and shut the doors to the doors as best as he could. He needed to get out of there, but he wasn't going to make it it of there as he stood currently. Even with his new submachine gun, he couldn't take dozens of them at once unarmored.

"I'm going to need some protection, and more firepower if I'm going to make it out of here alive."

He knew just the thing for the job. He made the MP5SK disappear, and in its place manifested a fully loaded M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon). Complete with a full sack of ammunition. With some difficulty, he was able to figure out how to feed the belt through and charge the bolt.

Alongside his new gun, he manifested a full suit of military grade riot gear. Covering his entire body in digital camouflage Nomex, and Kevlar plates. Alongside a good Kevlar helmet. "Alright, in the wise words of Anakin skywalker..."

"This Is were the fun begins."

He opened up the door. And stepped out into the hallway.

"Just got to get someone to tell me were the exit to this place. Not too hard! "

He walked down the now dimly lit hallways. until he came to a crossroads, standing there was a Griffon and Changeling guard.

"Changelings are all obedient to their queen, that one won't tell me anything."

He casually strolled towards them.

"Hey, do you guys know were the exit Is?"

"Take a right at this intersection, then keep goin-WAIT WHAT WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HER-"

"Thank you both" He put a 5.56 round through both of them, the sound of the gunshots making him wide awake. He turned right, and walked for about 5 minutes until he came to the entrance, more guards surrounded it. He ducked behind a support pillar, manifested an M67 frag grenade into existence, pulled the pin, and threw it as hard as he could in their direction.

William could hear confused yelling, followed by the loudest thing he had ever heard. He got out from behind The pillar, and saw the bodies of about a dozen guards, some more or less intact than others, but all of them dead. He could here alarm bells ringing out in the distance and shouting.

Well, If they didn't know what I was up to before, they sure do now!" He ran through the destroyed gates, and found himself
in what appear to be the equestrian version of an air base.

He could see griffons and channelings running towards him. Wasting no time at all, he ducked behind a boulder, and opened fire on the group. The first 10 or so went down easy, but things changed when he saw them turn and run.

"Wait, why are they running?"

He Heard a bellowing growl, and saw the massive form of a dragon appear in the sky, and it was headed straight for him.

almost instinctively he manifested and RPG 7 into existence, braced for the recoil, and pulled back on the 2 stage trigger, just like YouTube had taught him. To his satisfaction the rocket hit center mass, sending the drake tumbling out of the sky.

He took advantage of the chaos, to blast a hole in the perimeter wall of the base. He then ran faster than he ever had in his whole life, away from burning base, and into the forest. He ran, and ran, and ran. until he finally collapsed from exhaustion.

"that was the most terrifying and exciting thing that I have ever done in my life, ever. He switched on his night vision googles, and looked around. "No ones following me, that good." "I can't start a fire. so I guess I'm sleeping out under the stars tonight."

And speaking of stars, there were more of them out that night than he had ever seen before. Even when he and his family went camping up in the sierra's, he hadn't seen this many before. He chuckled "Guess this is what you get when you don't have light pollution." He crawled over under a tree, and hugging his rifle tightly, Fell asleep. Wonder, Despite how terrifying
his situation was, he couldn't wait for the next day.

Author's Note

Locke and load

Just keep walking

William's eyes fluttered and he looked up at the morning sky.

Ugh, I'm still in this place, You know what universe?,#### you!" with that he flipped off the sky and got to his feet. "Alright",
He said, "I have to get to Equestria, Maybe then I can ask the royal sisters or Twilight if they can send me home!"
pick a direction and keep walking until
"Question is, which way is it?"

" You, know what, I'm just going to pick a direction and walk until I find civilization, but first, breakfes-,oh, nevermind."
As it dawned on him that he had nothing to eat, and no knowledge of the surrounding flora and funa. He picked a direction and began to walk.

"Hang on a moment, those mages said ANY weapons that I wish, so does that include vehicles?" And so he tried, and tried, and tried, and failed to summon any vehicles of any sort, not even so much as a simple ATV. After a while, he just gave up.

"That means I'm going to have to walk the whole way there, however far that may be, well the least I could do for myself is lighten my load." He swapped out the heavy assortment of riot gear that he was wearing for a simple vest and helmet, and his 20 pound m249 for a much, much lighter m4 carbine. "that's better" he said to himself. And began walking in the direction which he had picked.

And so he walked, and walked, and walked, until he came to a large clearing, until he spotted a lone deer.

"Ha! Finally! Food!" He raised his rifle and took aim at the creature, when he heard a voice call out from the opposite side of the treeline.

"Ha!, I found you daddy! "A young fawn came running out out of the forest.

"there you are little guy!" The large deer answered.

William lowered his rifle." Note to self, don't shoot the wildlife until you are absolutely sure they aren't sentient."

The 2 deer spotted him, turned, and ran, leaving him alone once more in the forest.

And so he continued walking. Occasionally he would pass by an appetizing looking fruit bearing tree or berry bush, but he knew better. All the wilderness survival classes which he had taken had thought him that, "unless you are absolutely sure that something wont kill you, don't eat it!" All this walking and time to himself time to think, about his family his friends, and his old world. "I wonder what they all think of my disappearance, and what they are doing right now." "Well, whatever they're doing, it most likely nowhere near as strange!". As cold of a person as he was, he still missed them, However , this feeling soon faded as his ego kicked back in.

"I wonder how the ponies are going to react to me walking into their village? Eh, They're probably just going to run and hide in fear, just like all those other HIE fic's I've read." But then again, this isn't some story on the computer, this is real life. Who knows how they're going to react to me."
At about this time he had been walking for exactly 7 hours, his watch confirmed this, and now his legs were getting sore. add to that the fact that the sun was beginning to get low in the sky.

"Best time to find a place to make camp "he thought to himself.

He had found the perfect spot to make camp, 2 medium sized oak trees, arching over one another with a creek running just ahead of them. finally! Water, he ran over to the creek, and bent down to drink, but then he remembered something VERY important, you never drink water from a wild, unfiltered water source, you might never know what kind of things are floating around in it after all. Instead he summoned up a canteen and scooped up some water to boil. then he got to work constructing a basic lean to shelter, setting it up between the 2 arching oak trees. And with the help of some gunpowder from a 5.56 round, some dry grass, and a flint and steel he had a small fire going in no time. At about this time the sun disappeared over the horizon and over it came the moon. Fast, but not quite as fast as the show animated it. He could imagine Celestia and Luna, lowering the sun and raising the moon. "He looked back up at the night sky." I've got to be getting close to civilization by now" He took as sip of the water which he had set to boil. Soon after he drifted back into sleep.

His dreams were nothing out of the usual out of the usual, complete chaos, fighting battles against fictional enemies, going on adventures, however tonight, unlike others, he could swear someone, or something was watching him in his dreams.
And he thought he knew exactly who. Among the chaos and commotion of his dream he shouted out," Hey Luna, I know you're out there, Show yourself!!!"

No response was given.

Eventually he awoke, got back to his feet, and continued walking.

1 hour later...

He could see something clearly unnatural through the trees. So he ran faster.

It was a carrot patch.

"OH THANK GOODNESS!" He yelled out loud he dove into them, pulled one out of the ground and began to devour it.

"What in Celestia's name are you doing in my garden!?"

"What now?" he murmured to himself, groaning.

Thank you very much, but I must be going now.

William looked up to see a grey unicorn mare standing just a few feet away from him, with a pitchfork aimed in his direction.

"Let me rephrase, what are you doing in my carrot patch?" Said the grey unicorn.

"Uh... it's... A... Pony..."

If his mental sate wasn't already torn to bits given the the past few days, seeing an actual, in the flesh pony sure did it.

His body let out a small twitch.

"Usually I'd just lie in a situation like this and get away scoot free, but this time, given the circumstances, I think I'd be better off just telling the truth."

"Mam, I'll have you know that I have not eaten in 2 whole days."

The Unicorn lowered her pitchfork.

"Well why didn't you just say that!?, I've got some pea soup on the stove, come on in!, name's Greystone by the way, what's yours?" The mare raised her hoof in his direction.

"It's William, pleasure to meet you Greystone." William gave the extended hoof a shake.

He let out a sigh of relief," At least my first meeting with ponies went well, although that might change if I told them what brought me here, or what I'm capable of, best keep quiet about that."

"William, That's a strange name."

"Family inheritance," He replied.

Greystone led William inside her house, a medium sized cottage surrounded by pine trees.

"15 minutes later..."

"Mumfh, that was some of the best pea soup I've ever eaten, thank you." William said as he finished his bowl.

"Back my world, most people wouldn't react quite as peacefully if they saw an armor clad stranger devouring their garden"

"You're welcome" Responded Greystone." Might I ask, what are you?, and what did you mean by haven't eaten in 2 days? And what's that strange black stick the you're carrying, and the armor, are you some kind of soldier?"

"I'm a human, and I have been wandering around the forest, lost for the past 2 days, looking for a way out"

"It's not the entire truth, but in this case, it's be better to keep all of this a secret." He thought.

"As for the armor and, well, this." He gestured to his m4 "That's classified. But don't worry, I'm not going to hurt anypony."

"Well, That's... reassuring," said Greystone.

He got up from his seat, and turned towards the doorway.

"Thank you for the food and hospitality, but I must be going now."

Were are you going exactly?"

"Ponyville."

"Well I hope you aren't planning on walking the whole way there, its a good 130 miles southeast of here."

He groaned, "Ain't no way I'm walking 130 freakin' miles."

You should try taking the train instead."

"The train, why didn't I think about that before?"

"Uhh... I don't have any money, and I highly doubt they would let a never before seen creature like me just get on a train full of paranoid ponies."

"Don't worry about it, I happen to personally know the conductor." Greystone responded.

"Alright then, lead the way."

"This day just keeps getting better." He thought to himself.

The 2 of them walked down the dirt path towards town.

"Well William, welcome to Greengrove!"

As the 2 of them walked down the town's main street towards the train station, he noticed that everyone, sorry, everypony was staring at him, some with confusion, a few with fear. But to his surprise, none of them ran and hid from him. And the stares soon stopped.

Just then a red ball came flying out of nowhere and hit him on the helmet.

He growled in anger, and turned to face the direction that it came from.

"Who threw that!?"He yelled out, raising his fist.
He spotted a group of pegasi and earth pony colts, now looking at him in terror.

Greystone looked at him nervously." Uh, William, what are you doing?"

"Sorry Mister, it was an accident." One of the colts replied.

William sighed and lowered his fist, "Don't worry about it, I'm ok." With that he tossed the ball back to the colts and continued walking.

"What was with that?" Asked Greystone.

"With what?"

"The way you acted towards those colts, they were only playing."

" I know that, which is why I didn't pop their ball and then keep yelling. As my grandpa always said, 'your right's end where my nose begins'."

"He sounds like he was very wise."

"He's still alive, you know."

"Oh..."

The 2 of them walked up to the ticket station.
"One ticket Please"

A dark blue unicorn greeted them.

"Hey there Greystone! And-sweet Celestia, what are you!?"

He's a friend, and don't worry, he isn't going to hurt anypony, Right William?"

"Yep." "So long as they don't hurt me first." He grumbled out the last part.

"Well, anything for you Grey, just him?"

"yes."

"Were to?"

"Ponyville." Said William.

"Alright, here you go." The blue unicorn levitated the ticket over to William, who grabbed it out of the air.

"Thank you for everything Greystone."

"Bye William, Glad I could help!"

He gave her a small solute, turned, and stepped onto the train. he looked around the aisle. To his surprise, most didn't bat him a single eye. He walked to his seat, sat and waited for the conductor to come by and pierce his ticket. The conductor walked up to him, a bat pony to his surprise. And a rather cute one at that.

"So, your Greystone's friend?" The conductor asked as he clipped William's ticket.

"Well, yes."

" Don't go makin any trouble. "

"I don't plan to" responded William.

The conductor turned and walked back to the engine room.

William began to fiddle with his rifle.

"Next stop, Ponyville!"

He heard the conductor shout out, a whistle blew and the train pulled away from the station.

The sun was getting low on the horizon.

"Best time for me to turn in soon." He thought to himself.

Now that he was surrounded by creatures that didn't want to murder him, eat him alive, or both. He felt at ease.

"I hope at least now that I'm relatively safe, I'll be able get some sleep without keeping one eye open."

I felt this song was befitting the story

Meeting the six

"Twilight! Wake up! You've got a letter from Celestia!"

Twilight jumped out of here bed and read through the letter.

"Dear, Twilight Sparkle, Recently Luna has been receiving visions of a strange new creature within Equestria's borders
We do do not no much at this time, only that it is extremely powerful and capable of causing great harm, be on the lookout for any strange creatures around Ponyville."

-Your Mentor, Princess Celestia

Not again!

Meanwhile...

"I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU TIRYNIDS EAT ONE MORE DAMNED AVENGER I'L-"
William opened his eyes and looked around to see that all of the passengers were huddled together in the far corner of the cabin, looking at him in terror.
"Uh, I was talking in my sleep again, wasn't I?" Eliciting a nod from a few of them.
"Sorry about that, you can go back to your seats, I promise I'm not going to hurt any of you." None of them moved.

"Well, suit yourselves. "William rubbed his eyes, cracked his gloved knuckles, and continued fiddling with his rifle.

about 20 minutes later...

the train pulled up at Ponyville, and William disembarked, giving the conductor a thumbs up as he did, which elicited only a confused look from the conductor.

"It means Good job where I'm from."

"Oh..." Muttered the conductor, clearly unimpressed.

William turned and began strolling into town.

Alright, First things first, I need to find Twilight's library. Question is, Where is it?'

"You know what? I think I'm just going to ask one of the residents and see how that goes out, and even if it doesn't work out, It'll still be fun to hear them scream and run in terror."

He looked around and spotted soon spotted an earth pony stallion.

"Perfect."

Uh sir, Would you mind telling me where Twilight's library i-"He wasn't even able to finish his sentence before he had thrown the entire town into a panic.

"Monster! Everypony run for your lives!" The street around him turned to chaos as ponies rushed into their houses and locked their doors, until William was the only one left in the street."

"AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA!!!,I was Right, It Is Hilarious!" He cried out, doubling over from the laughter.

"But on the other hand, Rude."

"Hey, I was just asking for directions, did nopony ever teach yawl manners?!"

"Well, Since asking them is clearly out of the question, I'll just have to settle for the next best option. Walking until I find it."
He thought to himself.

William had barely taken two steps before he felt a blast of air hit him in the back of the neck.

"I know EXECTLY who that came from."

He ducked down, and instead of hitting him, Rainbow dash instead hit the pavement.
hard.

"Stop Right there!"

He turned to see the six, well 4 considering that rainbow was on the pavement behind him, and Pinkie was nowhere to be seen. probably going to come out of nowhere later and scare the living #### out of him. Taking a defensive semicircle stance, blocking his way further into town. William paused for a moment and thought about how he should respond.
he decided to go with the friendly route.

"Hey there guys!, I've been looking everywhere for you! Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you, Or anypony else
for that matter." William could hear them whispering.

"let's listen in, shall we?"

"You can't trust it, twi, look what it did to Dash!" Said applejack.

"I agree, just look at it's horrible taste in fashion! "Cried out Rarity.

You know, I heard everything you just said, right? Let's get some things clear, first of all, I am a he and my name is William, not an it, I take great offence to that. Second you can believe me when I say that I'm not going to hurt any of you, and for the record, I did not attack Rainbow Dash, She tried to attack me, I simply ducked out of the way. Which reminds me, Are you ok back there Dash?, it sounded like you hit the ground pretty hard.

"I'M FINE." He heard her growl from behind him.

"Good to hear it, and Last of all, Rarity, I actually happen to like this stuff that I'm wearing. "He could hear her scoff.

"Wait, How do you know our name's?"

"Wehehelll..." I'll explain that to you later, alongside any other questions you might have, By the way, where's p-"

"Hi, There!!!"

"AHHHAHAHAHAH!" Pinkie's sudden appearance made him stumble back and fall to the ground, his rifle along side it. Which unfortunately, made it let out a 2 round burst, causing the main six to drop to the ground in fright.

"Sorry! My bad! I was fiddling around with it earlier and left the safety off by accident. You can get up now."

And Pinkie, please, for the sake of every living thing in Equestria, NEVER DO that again!"

"Okie dokie!" She bounced away towards her friends.

"So, Now that that's out of the way, Could we continue this conversation at your house instead Twilight?"

"I can tell the other townsfolk are still afraid of me."

"Alright, you seem trustworthy enough. "Responded Twilight, eyeing William closely.

"Great, lead the way." William tapped his wristwatch.

I'm starting to think this was a bad idea

Meanwhile in the Changeling kingdom...

Chrysalis was minding her own business when a group of battered and bloodied Griffins and Changelings stumbled through the door of her throne room.

"My queen, The human has escaped! We've looked for it everywhere, but we could not find it!"

"What do you mean by 'Human' drone?" Asked Chrysalis.

"Well..."
about half an hour of explaining later...

" So what you're telling me is that in trying to defeat Equestria, You summoned an extremely powerful and angry being here, gave him the power to destroy us all, and then let him get away!!!?"

"Ye-yes your highness"

"And which one of you thought this was a good idea?"

One of the griffons decided to finally open their mouths and say something.

Well, It was none of us, The decision way made by the most powerful mages from our own respective nations. Who are currently in the process of being buried.

"I see, is there any way to stop it?"

"Unfortunately, that knowledge was lost when it killed our mages, it was last seen heading towards the equestrian border."

"It, could be trying to ally with them, We must stop it immediately!, Griffon ,go to your emperor and tell him to mobilize his army. We march on Equestria at once, and- Wait, Where are the Dragons?"

Well...They are currently out searching for the Human, We will have to wait until they return."

"Unacceptable!, send one of your griffons to kindly ask their lord to join us."

"Understood, your majesty."

Meanwhile in Ponyville...

The main six led William to twilights library, and As he walked He began to realize something.

"Uh, interesting question, but why are all the buildings here painted pink?"

This resulted In only a shrug from Twilight. Who seemed all but disinterested in his criticism.

"Holy ####," William changed the topic. "I can't believe I'm actually here, and of all the people in the world, I have to be the one to make first contact." He thought to himself, chuckling just out of earshot.

Twilight looked around the room, and then back at William.

"I don't think any of these chairs could support your weight."

"No worries, I'll just stand." Almost as soon as he had said that he felt an aching pain course through his legs. Causing him to wince.

"AGGGGH..."

"Are you alright darling?" Asked Rarity, setting a hoof forward and squinting at him.

As soon as William hear that his face darkened, "Never call me 'darling' again. Understood?"

"And why is that?"

"That is a long story, one that I neither have the time nor want to share with you."

"And I think I'll just sit on the floor. You would be surprised what several days of nonstop physical activity can do to a person."

Twilight got out her notebook. "Alright, First question, what are you?"

"I am a human and I am currently 16 years of age."
"I've never heard nor read about your species anywhere, you are already almost as tall as Princess Luna, and you're only sixteen years old?!"

"Yup."

"Fascinating."

"Alright, second question, Where did you come from?"

"This is going to take a lot of explaining."

"I live one the outskirts of the city of Sacramento, The the state of California, Which itself is located in the United states of America.

Where Is that?, I've studied maps of the world since I was a foal, and I haven't seen or heard of anywhere titled that."

"And what do you mean by state?"

"Get comfortable, We are going to be here awhile. It all started about 300 years ago in my home dimension."

"Wait! what do you mean by home dimension?"

"SHHH! I'll tell you when I'm done with this."

About an hour and a half of American history later...

"And That's how my home nation became the dominant power on our planet. And also, in my opinion, the coolest power on our planet."

At this point Fluttershy was hiding In the back corner of the room, quivering. While the rest of them were lining up front, looking like they were about to fall off their seats."

"Your country, It's so...violet, How can you live like that?"

"The fact of the matter is, Twilight, and the rest of you. That our country is pretty much as good as it gets in our world, don't even get me started on the middle east, or north Korea. You see, Our country was born out of Tyranny and oppression, and it's founders took it upon themselves to make sure that would never happen again."

"I understand, my last question, Where did you come from?, a while ago you said, 'Home dimension' What do you mean by that, and don't think I didn't notice that armor of yours, or that weapon you have in your paws."

"Hands, Not paws, I take great offence to that."

"He sighed, I was trying to keep it a secret, But Here it is I suppose. It started out like any Friday evening would in my world..."

Another 20 minutes later...

"And then I met a unicorn by the name of Greystone..."

10 more minutes later...

"And so here I am now."

He noticed immediately that his story had done nothing to calm the six's mood towards him.

"Y-You killed all of them?" Questioned Fluttershy. "Well, Yes, and I did it for what I consider the greater good, and now that I'm here, You best not waste me, and I would really like it if you could figure out how to send me home."

"Oh, and Fluttershy, Can you please stop freaking out over Everything?, its not like the whole world's out to get you...at least not all the time."

"I'll See what I can do", Responded Twilight, "As for now, make yourself at home here, just don't break anything."

"And as long as you don't hurt anypony." Said applejack

"So long as they don't hurt me first, but then again ,why would they?"

"Thank you all." He peaked through the doorway and noticed that they had managed to calm the townsfolk back down.

"At Least I'm safe for now, Although, I have a feeling that it won't for very long."

He left the library and stepped out into the town square.

"Look on the bight side, at least I'm surrounded by adorable talking horses."

"At the unfortunate cost of me having to put of with all these stupid colors everywhere."

He put his hand on his forehead and groaned.

"I'm starting to think this was at least in part, a bad idea." Angered, he stomped off, murmuring obscenities to himself.

A day around town

It had just been another day for Slycraft, Ponyville's resident Changeling spy, when he received a message from Queen Chrysalis telling him to be on the lookout for something called, a 'Human' as well as a vague description of the being.
And so he began searching. About this time, William had gotten hungry, and was looking for something to eat.
He decided to go on and try asking Twilight first rather than go yell at one of the townsfolk, who still looked at him with worried faces when they passed him by in the street. He walked back to the library.

"Hey uh Twilight, do you know anywhere around here where I can get some food?"

"Sure, Follow me." Responded Twilight.

Slycraft happened to be passing through town square, under his usual disguise as a unicorn stallion. When he caught eye of William exiting the library. he remembered the description that his queen had given him about this so called human, and was about to attack when he saw Twilight step out after him.

"Hmmm, Queen say not to attack when elements nearby, me wait."

Slycraft followed the two, Blending in with the crowd as he did.

Twilight led William down main street to what appeared to be a restaurant. William walked over, and sat down in one of the nearby chairs and was Greeted by a waiter, Who first looked at Him nervously, then at Twilight.

"Uh, Twilight, who-what is this thing? And What Is it doing at my restaurant?"

"Hi, There...This is William, He's...Uh...New to Ponyville, And he would like something to eat."

"So long as your paying Twilight, I left the gold bullion back in my home dimension, and I don't suppose you take Dollar bills?" Looking at the Waiter as he did, who gave the grumpy teenager a nod.

"So, Sir, what would you like?"

"Well, nothing with Hay, or flowers for that matter. Can't eat either. So, spaghetti and grilled Cheese?" Asked William.

"Coming right up!" Responded the waiter, who rushed inside the building.

William rolled his eyes, "Wow, This place has every stereotype imaginable, The 'Wired Italian Chief Guy' Included."

"What Do you mean by 'Italian'?" Asked Twilight.

"You know what, nevermind. I'll Just wait for my food in silence."

But I still have so many questions!, What are your parents like?, Does your Hometown have to deal with villains every other week as well?, How long do humans go to school for..."She trailed off. And William sat there in silence, ignoring any attempts for her to get any thing out of him. Eventually the food came, and he buckled down, and had devoured the entire plate in all of 3 minutes, despite it still being steaming hot. Much to the horror, of Twilight and The waiter.

"Sir, You shouldn't eat that fast!, You'll burn you're tung-"

"MFFFF!, What were you saying about the food being hot?"

"Are the rest of your species as uncivilized as this?" They Both asked.

"No, And neither am I.I was just hungry, I suppose that sums up lunch for me. Thank you for the food."

Well... You're welcome."

"Great!" He exclaimed, jumping up from his chair as he did. "Now, That That's out of the way, I Need do figure out a way to kill time before the sun goes down, after tha-"

"Hi, There Again Mister Human!, I'm finished Setting up you're welcome party! "Causing him to groan in frustration.

"Aright ,first of all, Pinkie, I told literally told you just a few hours ago not to jump scare me. Are you def or something?"

"Hey! Don't talk to her like that!" Responded Twilight.

"Eh, don't care."

"And listen, both of you. I know this is going to sound weird, but I hate parties. Like with a passion."

"Then I guess we'll have to change that!" Replied Pinkie.

"Not a chance in hell, I hate Chang- Woah!" Before he could say anything else he found himself being dragged along by that little pink abomination. And he was not happy about it.

"LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE ####! Put me down or I WILL shoot you!!!" Manifesting an m1911 into his hand.

"Okie dokie!!!" She said to him, Right before Setting him down, somewhat gently on the ground. Emphasis on somewhat.
William dusted himself off, and got to his feet. Meanwhile pinkie, in her hyperactive party state, continued on down the road with a crazy look in her eye.

"You and I are officially enemies!" He shouted out "ever liked her much to begin with.

"You aright?" Asked Twilight trotting up to him.

"For the most part... Yes, only thing that's hurt is my pride. Can't believe I got downed by a #### magic pink horse. "
Grumbling out the last part.

"Sorry about that, Pinkie can get a little, Intense at times. If you know what I mean."

"Indeed I do." Replied William.

"So, anything else other than going to that 'party' With that pink abomination?"

"First of all, that is my Friend, not an abomination, I could show you around town if you want."

"Sure, just keep your 'Friend' away from me."

Over the next couple of hours Twilight led William all over Ponyville, explaining its history, and introducing its residents to him. Now he stood at one of its many open markets, tapping his foot waiting for Twilight To convince Doctor Whooves over there that William wasn't going to eat him. At this point, he was once more fed up with conversing with other sentient beings, Pony or not. Just then, He heard a cracking noise. Followed by a what appeared to be the equestrian version of a 2 by 6 come crashing down on his head, knocking him to the ground.

"Oww!, Who hit me with that?!" If it hadn't been for the Kevlar helmet, he would most likely have a concussion right now, be bleeding out on the the ground, and be a hell of a lot more pissed off.

"Sorry, mister. Didn't mean to knock that over." He'd recognize that voice anywhere. He spun around, to see the Familiar face of a certain grey retarded Pegasus .

"Derpy! Now There's one pony I don't mind looking at, how are ya?!"Pretending to forget what had just happened.

"Uh, I'm alright, but how do you know my name?"

"That is a secret, hey twilight, Do have any extra paper on you?"

"Sure William, here you go ." Pulling a extra sheet of paper out of her book pouch. He took it from her, and walked over to Derpy.

"It's an honor to meet you mam, can I have your autograph?"

"Sure, Why do you need it?" She asked.

"Well, as it happens, I happen to be a fan of you're, and in my opinion you're the only one around here with any sense."

"Well thanks mister!" She took the paper from him, and signed her name on it.

"No, Thank you mam." He ruffled her mane. Causing her to only look more confused. She waved goodbye and flew off.

"Ah, she doesn't even know it but that 'accident' of hers made my day."

He turned and looked off into the distance.

"Hmm, the sun's going to go down soon, Hey Twilight, do you know any where I can sleep?"

Well, lets see, I'm not leaving you alone in my library, Fluttershy's to scared of you, Pinkies clearly off the table, and so is Rarity, considering the way you reacted to Pinkie Earlier. That leaves Rainbow dash and Applejack.

"Does it look like I have Wings?"

"Fair point, Applejack it is-. Wait. How did you know that Rainbow Dash Lives in Cloudsdale?"

"I Have my ways."

"Hmmm..." Twilight looked at him with skepticism. But otherwise said nothing.

"I hope she's not onto me." he thought to himself.

"Follow me." Said Twilight.

"Alright."

The walked out of town , and Towards Applejacks farm. all the while Slycraft followed all the while. William noticed this of course, but thought nothing of it.

"Hey there Twi, hello again William. What brings you here again?"

"Well, I need a place to sleep for the night and none of your other friends where 'suitable' so to speak."

Well, I don't got space in the house for you big fella-"

"Say no more, I'll be taking the barn for a while."

""Don't you want a blanket or something?"

"No, I Have it 'covered' so to speak."

"well, ok."

"Thank you very much. Good night to both of you." He gave them a solute and then proceeded to make a 180 turn on his heel and walk of towards the barn.

"Sure is an interestin' fella, ain't he Twilight?"

"He sure is, I just hope He doesn't hurt anypony. That reminds me, He asked For Derpy's autograph earlier."

"Now why in tarnation would he ask for hers of all ponies?"

"I have no Idea, See you tomorrow applejack."

"See ya tomorrow Twilight."

William walked over to of of the apple trees, and plucked one off.

"They won't miss one, Besides I Haven't even had dinner, so this technically counts as it."

He took a bite into it and continued walking into the barn.

"MHFFHFHF!, Damn best apple I've ever had, might grab some more later." He entered the barn, And manifested a sleeping bag for himself, as well as a pillow. and reclined back on them.

All the while, Slycraft the changeling continued watching from the edge of the apple field.

"Yes, I'll wait until the human is asleep, then I'll pounce!"

Oh boy was he in for a surprise...

“They operate off of a bargaining system as long as you have a gun”

William once more fell asleep. However, unlike His other nights, his dream this time this time around was a bit... Different to say the least.

He awoke in his sleeping bag, and got to his feet, or tried to at least, he stumbled and fell to the ground. He raised his arms to rub his eyes, but instead of hands, He found a set of hooves.

"What The hell did they do to me!?" He screamed. But upon closer inspection he noticed that the fur now covering his body was a deep brown, and that he now had a pair of wings attached to his back. He also noticed that he was slightly taller than the average pony, almost at his original height.

"Wait, so does that mean..." He felt the top of his head, and sure enough, he found a curved horn sticking up out of it, just barely visible under his hair.

"Yes, I got turned into a- oh! This is great news! And- Wait, what's that sound?" He poked his head outside the barn door to find that it was raining. He turned to see a changeling staring him in the face, mouth opened wide and foaming.

"GAHAHAHHA!" He rammed a hoof right into the creatures face, and turned to run. He tripped, and woke up. Looking over at his hands to find that they were still normal.

"Aw, to bad, I was kind of looking forward to flying." He Looked over to find an earth pony stallion walk through the barn door.

"What the hell do you want? I thought I asked Applejack to keep visitors out!" The Earth pony stallions Eyes changed to a blank green, and he let out a hiss.

"Our queen would like to have a word with you." With that he drew a knife an lunged at William. Who promptly rolled out of the way, and manifested a P90 into existence. Unfortunately, He didn't quite roll far enough, and the blade plunged into his Kevlar vest.

"You Little ####!!!!" he pulled down on the trigger, lighting up the entire barn in a hail of 5.7 x 28mm tracer rounds, tearing up the roof of the barn. With all the lead flying through the air, its a miracle that only one found its mark, striking the changeling on its fetlock, just above its hoof. It fell to the ground screaming, but got back up just as soon as it had fallen. Williams P90 clicked on empty, and he instead manifested a hatchet, and parried the changelings blade away. Before giving it a firm kick on the back, Knocking the wind out of it, and knocking it back on the ground. He was about to calmly yet violently decapitate it. When he heard hoof steps in the distance.

Apparently, all the commotion and gunfire had woken up the entire Apple family, and Big Mac had seen the gunshots ring out into the night from the houses kitchen window. the 2 of them made a mad dash to the barn. At the same time, Slycraft morphed back into an earth pony. Just then Applejack and big mac came barging in through the barns door, and looked at the scene before them in horror. The entire barn lay in ruins, a part of the roof was missing, and all of the walls were postmarked with holes.

"William, What In Celestia's name are ya doing!? Put what pony down!"

"Please, help me!" Shouted the changeling. Applejack reared up. "William, Now!"

"I hate To burst your power bubble, but that things not a pony, and it tried to kill me!" Pointing to the hole in his vest.

"If it wasn't for this thing, I'd be lying on the floor dead right now!"

"How do I know You ain't lying to me?" Asked applejack, still with as stern look on her face.

"Simple. "He Gave the changeling a frim tug on its ears, and it changed back to its original form.

"Owww..." It said.

"Shut Up!" William yelled back into it's face.

"Sorry for the misunderstanding William, you best get that stab wound checked out in town."

"No thanks, Maybe in the morning, I'm to tiered to put up with any more Equestrian nonsense, I'm going back to sleep."

"Wait, What about the changeling?" She asked.

"Do what ever the hell you want with him, Except let him free. I'll deal with him into the morning. "He turned and whispered into the changelings ear, "You ruined the best dream, I've had in a long time, you're going to pay for that. With that he slumped back onto his sleeping bag. and fell back asleep, fortunately. He wasn't able to get back the dream which that changeling had interrupted.at least, not the bad parts. This time, he instead found himself in a field near Ponyville.

"Ahhh yes... perfect. " He said out loud. "Now, time to try that thing that I wanted to do. "He tried extending his new wings, and sure enough they opened. But this time, he heard yelling in the distance. And before he could even try flying, the dream quite literally melted away, and he swore that he could practically hear his conscience screaming," What the hell universe?!" He woke back up. Stretched his arms, got up, and walked out of the barn. He took a big breath as he stepped outside.

"You smell that brain?, well, that's the smell of innocence about to be ruined at my hand, and I like it!" He walked up to the apple's farmhouse. And was greeted by applejack on the way there.

"Morin’ William!"

"Good morning Applejack, You got anything to eat?"

"Sure, Follow me." Applejack led William into the house, where a fresh baked apple pie was sitting on the table.

"Thank you!" He sat down, and began devouring the pie whole.

"You know, I'm beginning to miss watching tv in the morning, But then again I'm currently in another dimension, so I'm willing to let it go." He thought to himself.

"I take it you like the pie?"

"Yes." He replied simply. "By the way, How's that ####### changeling doing?"

Well, He's currently tied up in Twilight library, but they haven't been able to get anything out of him."

"Say no more! And thank you again for the pie.", with that he 'gently' set down his cutlery, and ran off towards Ponyville.

"You're welcome!..."Applejack shouted, her voice trailing off as she turned and galloped after him.

A brisk, 15 minute jog later...

William sprinted into town square to find the five of the main six waiting outside the library. Applejack came in after him.

"How...In tarnation... are you so fast?"

"Well, When I Want to get revenge on someone who tried to kill me for one."

"Ehhhh..."

Neverminded, what do you need?" Twilight spoke up first, "We've been questioning him for hours, But he hasn't said a word, We even Got Pinkie to try and have a Go at Him, But even then, all we got out of him was his name. Slycraft."

"Oh is that so, Well, I didn't just waste time running here, for nothing move over. And No matter what you hear in there, don't do not come in until I come out, Understand. "The Six nodded with confused and worried looks on their faces. William entered the building and Shut the door behind himself. The changeling recognized him as soon as he entered.

"What do you want human?" He Said, spiting out a bit of green slime as he did.

"A few things..."He said, Manifesting an desert eagle and an electrified baton into his hand as he approached the changeling. First off, do you want to do this the easy way, or the hard way?"

The Changeling only continued staring off into space.

"Lets Go with the easy way first, I'm bored." He Walked up to the changeling, and Pistol wiped it across the muzzle.

"Who the hell sent you you little abomination!?!?!?!?"

"The Changeling screeched out in pain." He hadn't been expecting something anywhere near as bad as this.

"M-M-My Queen."

"Chrysalis you mean? Speak up you sentient cockroach!"

"Y-Yes?" Replied the changeling. William Let out a smile, This was going to be easier than he thought, but as far as he was concerned, the Geneva convention had taken a vacation and he was free to interrogate this thing as much as he wanted.

15 minutes later....

William was panting, this thing was much tougher than griffins were, and he was just about fed up of it resisting. SO he Hatched a plan. He smacked it across the face one last time with his baton and said.
I'm gong to untie you now, so be decent for the ladies and fly back to you hive, DO NOT make any detours. An , Give your precious queen this message. "You tried to enslave the wrong human. And you're going to pay for it." The changeling nodded, and William untied the ropes, unbeknownst to Slycraft, William slipped a little something onto his back While he was doing so. He hopped down onto the ground, and limped out off the library, right past the main six, and began flying back towards his hive. William walked out after him, and right up to the main six who where staring at him, jaws wide open.

"did you do all that to him?" They asked in unison.

William looked over at them, With an emotionless expression on his face. "Yes, I did. He brought it on himself as soon as he decided to try and kill me. And while I was sleeping to! what a coward!" He cackled a bit. And Fluttershy fainted right there.

"It could have gone worse, But I decided to spare his life...at least for now. So that he could tell Chrysalis that I was coming for her."

"Well...ok then." Said Twilight. William smiled, and walked away, until he was at the edge of town. He pulled a small detonator out of his pocket, and slammed down on it as hard as he could. He looked off into the distance to see a small flash of light followed by a puff of smoke light up the morning sky. He Smiled again. "Did you really think I'd let you warn your hive Changeling? I'm no idiot. Besides I'm not actually going to attack their main hive, I'll wait for them to come to me... And My guts tell me tell me that they're likely already doing so, Griffons and dragons in tow. Better get training, Mesa Gonna need some more firepower If I'm going to go up against all 3 nations at once. Boy am I glad that I'm actually doing something productive for once."

Of my own accord: part 1

William looked back at Ponyville and smiled.

"This Ought to be fun." He turned an looked up at one of the many mountains surrounding the town and began hiking towards it. upon reaching its peak he looked down on the vast valley that Ponyville was situated. He sat down on an old stump, and manifested a pair of high powered binoculars and looked down into the valley. Currently situated on the mountains eastward facing side, he could see everything, from Twilights library in the center of town, to Applejacks farm, to the everfree forest in the distance. He zoomed in on the town.

"Alright, Now that I have A better Idea of the location I'm defending, I can start planning my offense." As His gaze shifted from side onto side of the town, and his enthusiasm began to fade.

"This town is one of the least defendable positions in the history of... EVER! Think William, Think, How can you turn this into something At least half probable...."He got up from his seat and began to pace back and forth.

"Would that-No... How about- No- Twilight props try to kill me If I tried that, Uh...Got it! Looks like all that sniper training in the woods is about to pay off!" He manifested an M200 Intervention rifle, and peered through its scope. His smile began to twist back into a malicious grin that would have made Sombra go crying for his mother.
"Yes... This will do nicely, now I have much work to do." He pulled out a bowie knife, and stuck it into the ground, before turning and walking back down the mountain. He was greeted by Applejack, still shaken by what she had witnessed William do just hours earlier.

"Hey There Applejack.. Don't mind me, I'm just... Making myself at home." She scowled at him.

"Twilight said she needs to have a talk with you."

"Not now... Listen, I was trying to hide this from your friends- You have to promise not to say anything to them before I go any further- alright?"

"Ok, What is it?"

"Well, There's A Changeling invasion on its way here, and they're after me-"

"Then we'll fight 'em off, just like last time."

"No, You don't understand, They're allied with the griffons and the dragons, and will stop at nothing to get to me."

"Then why do you sound so happy?"

"Well...That's the thing, They can't- Let's just say... I'm more of a danger to them, then them to me."

"Well alright... What are ya going to to about it?"

"Don't worry about it, for now go back to your friends, have fun, and enjoy your lives. I'm going to indulge in a tad bit of my own fun. Per say." Holding up his rifle. Letting out a slightly malicious chuckle as he did.

"Ahh... I See. I'll leave you to it, don't forget your promise." With that she turned and trotted back towards town.

"Great, I got the smartest of them off my trail. Lets get started."

He began walking the perimeter of town, looking for a suitable place to start. on the southern end he came spotted an open patch of grassland, surrounded by trees. He jogged over to it and pushed through the foliage. when he entered out on the other side, He looked around- It felt... Familiar, and then it hit him.

"This is that field from my dream last night! Well, I couldn't think of a better place to try what I'm about to try. I know that I can't summon Vehicles, but what about stationary pieces of artillery?" He Thought about it, and Gave it a try. A bright blue flash Illuminated the field, and a shockwave threw him back serval feet.

"Owwwwww...Note to self, don't try to summon up a whole SAM battery all at once." He got up, and looked back at the smoking pile of rubble that was his experimental SAM, he could hear Hoof beats behind him, and they were getting closer.

"What now!?" He turned, only to have a mint green unicorn run right into him.

"I keep getting knocked to the ground, I really need to work on my coordination. The hell do do what Lyra?" She got back onto all four hooves, and tugged at Williams camouflage fatigues.

"Oh, Sweet Celestia... You're actually real!, I knew you were!" William pushed her away.

"Can you please leave me alone, I'm working on something important over here!"

"You mean this pile of scrap?" She walked over to the destroyed SAM, and picked up a piece of scrap from the emplacement's base.

"Put that down before it blows up in your face."

"You're serious?" William gave her a cold scowl "Yes, I am. Now put it down, gently. "She did, thankful, and William made the pile disappear.

"How did you do that!? I thought humans couldn't use magic?"

"That's classified, Now please leave me alone."

"Alright, Bye!" she waved her hoof, and galloped back off towards town.

"I'm getting to old for this ####" He sighed, and got back to experimenting. He tried summoning a full size SAM again, and when that failed, He Decided to try something a little smaller, a naval minigun. To his satisfaction, It worked perfectly.

"Yes, Yes, YESSS!!!" He loaded up a belt of 7.62 rounds into its feeder, switched off the safety, took aim at a a nearby tree, and pulled down on the trigger. within seconds the tree had been practically torn in half.

"Success! Now that that's out of my system, I need to set something up to stop the big guys." He had just the thing, a NASAMS missile battery. He gave it a try, and sure enough, it worked, he now had a battery of 70 missiles splayed out in front of him on a Katyusha style launch platform.

"Now, To sync them up a remote so I an fire them independently."

Just then, Rainbow dash, nosey as she was came flying over to see what had caused the commotion, She found William, messing around with some of the wires on the launchers.

"What are you doing?"

"well, That's an interesting question... LEAVE ME ALONE, I told Lyra and I'm telling you now, leave."

"I got my eye on you!"

Sure, whatever, now scram before we see if you're faster than a stinger."

"What was that?"

"Oh, nothing, goodbye now." She gave him a scowl and flew off.

"Why can't these things get the message of stop messing with me before you get hurt? "He shrugged and continued working.

Meanwhile high above the Everfree forest...

The Leaders of the Griffon, dragon, and Changeling nations gathered their armies, and flew off towards Ponyville. Albeit, The Griffon emperor had decided to stay back away from the fighting, instead opting to let his 4 generals handle it. Unfortunately, they were not quite the most... how do you put it? Ah yes, Competent.

"So, What Do we do when we get to this 'Ponyville'' When we arrive, The Emperor told up to capture something called a Human, Then what?"

"I say we sack the place!" Shouted one of the dragon commanders.

"Quiet you! Shouted Chrysalis. We are to capture this 'human', nothing more! Is that understood!?"

"Yes ma'am" The swarm of Dragons, Changelings, and griffons continued their approach, Completely oblivious to the hell that awaited them all.

William was just about done setting up his Missile batteries and had begun camouflaging them in with boughs from the destroyed tree. He dusted his hands off. He stuck the target designator into his pocket, and walked back to Ponyville, which he found in a panic.

"Hey, anypony mind telling me what's got you all riled up?!"They continued running around in a panic.

"Ughh... fine, have it you way." He drew an m1911, raised it up to the sky, making sure there were no pegasi above him. And pulled the trigger. They all stopped and turned to look at him.

"Alright, Now, what's got you all in a panic?"

"Rainbow dash spotted a huge swarm of changelings flying over the Everfree forest headed in our direction!" One of them shouted. He turned to look over at Applejack, who gave him a nervous shrug.

"Listen to me all of you, Barricade yourselves inside, go to the lowest level of your house, Cover your ears, and do not under any circumstances look outside, IS that understood!?"The all gave him a collective nod and retreated back into the safety of their homes. He turned back to face the six.

"Listen to me, I need you to go with them, Do not take flight until I give the ok, I'm looking at you Dash."

"This is our town. Since when do you give us orders?" Asked Rainbow dash.

"Since, I showed up. Now go." William turned and took off back towards his missile battery to finish setting up.

"you sure he doesn't need our help?" Asked Twilight.

"Did you see what he did to that changeling? I'd be more concerned about Chrysalis."

Some music to set the tone
And now we run!- Payday 2

Of my own accord: part 2

William came out of the treeline on the mountain which he had selected earlier. He found the bowie knife which he had stuck into the ground still where he had left it, he picked it up, and stuffed it into one of his vest pockets. He sat down on a tree stump and looked out on the town of Ponyville below him to ensure that there where no stray ponies still wandering about. He Manifested up his trusty m200, and shifted his gaze to the edge of the Everfree forest. The sun was getting low in the sky.

"I sure hope I don't have to to do this in the nighttime." Fortunately for him, the opposing side felt the same way, at least partially.

Meanwhile, back above the Everfree forest...

"Ma'am, Its beginning to get dark, should we perhaps wait until morning?" One of the griffon generals asked Chrysalis.

"Very well. Drone! Scout ahead and see if you can find this human in advance!" 4 of the changelings gave her a firm solute, and flew off toward Ponyville. Just as the sun set over Equestria.

William was now siting alone, in the forest, in complete darkness the quiet was beginning to get to him. He summoned up a pair on thermal goggles, and scanned the treeline out of pronoia, confirming that he was indeed alone in the dark. He looked back on the Everfree forest.

"Nope, still nothing, I'm tired." He yawned, and collapsed right there on the stump. All the while the 4 changelings continued their approach toward town.

Several hours later...

William awoke from his unintentional nap, rubbed his eyes, and took a look through his rifles scope to find a group of 4 changelings, trotting towards town.

"They wouldn't have sent their whole army in in one go, That's most likely a scouting party, oh well, its all the same to me.
He took aim down the scope, adjusting it slowly so as to hit them all the first time around. And picked them off one by one. They didn't even have time to react. He looked off in the distance and spotted the main force.

"Oh #### there must be thousands of them... Thank goodness I have the power of infinite ammunition on my side!"

He steadied his rifle, swapped out his light weight fatigues for a set of riot gear, He pulled own the visor of his helmet. And took aim at the lead cluster.

"Ma'am, We have Ponyville in our sights, shall we begin?"

"Yes."
A group of changelings and dragons broke of from the main force and flew toward Ponyville. And al the while William was watching this. He reached into his pocket, pulled out the target designator, and painted the group in infrared laser light.

"Hasta la vista baby." The designator flashed green, and he pressed down on the detonator. Dozens of missiles flew into the sky, decimating the advance formation of their army. All the while Chrysalis, the dragon king, and the griffon generals watched on with looks of confusion and horror on their faces.

"What just happened?" asked the dragon king asked.

"Well, It seems as thought that human is trying to put up a fight."

"He won't win, Griffons, flank the town, don't let anything escape!" Shouted one of the griffon generals. Serval hundred griffons charged forward, flying over the town, most where shot down by the NASAMS emplacements that William had Created earlier. However, The Emplacements soon ran dry, and the remaining griffins and dragon began to encircle the town.

"Awww, how quaint, they're trying to outflank me, they don't even know that I'm not down there at all. Oh well, more cannon fodder for me!" He manifested up an M134 minigun turret, took aim, and fired. Painting the entire shallow valley in a shower of tungsten rounds, and cutting through the griffon forces like a flamethrower through tissue paper. Dozens feel from the sky, reduced to bloodied husks.

"They're getting cut to pieces down there!" Yelled one of the Generals, beginning to panic.

"You said that this would be easy!" Yelled another.

"I'm sick of this puny monkey! I'll end him right here!" The dragon king and all of the remaining dragons began to tear the town apart. William swapped his M134 out for an stinger missile, Took aim at the first dragon, and fired. Tearing it head apart. He reloaded, and fired again, and again, and again, until the only the Dragon king remained. He turned his scared face to look up at the mountain where William was hiding, and flew directly at him. William swapped out his Stinger for an M82 Barret loaded with armor pricing rounds.

"Hold on for a moment, I've never fired one of these before. Well consequences be damned, I sure hope my shoulders intact after this!" He set the rifle on its bipod, took aim at the dragons left eye, and pulled the trigger.

"GAHAHHAHAHA!!!!" The King let out a massive roar of pain that shook the entire valley, that didn't stop him fully however, he let out a blast of flame, and William dived for cover behind a nearby boulder, the blast of flame just barely missing him.

"I'll get you for that human!" He landed and began to tear the overhang apart. He grabbed the boulder William was hiding behind, and tossed it out of the way. Only William waiting right there, Barret aimed up at the Dragon Kings face.

"Dodge this you stupid ####!"He pulled the trigger, and two .50 caliber rounds tore through the kings forward jaw causing him to stumble off the edge of the cliff, he just barely caught himself by one of his claws. William, got up, wincing in pain from the Barret's recoil, and walked over to where the dragon king was dangling at the edge of the cliff.
hasta la vista baby
"Open wide!" He manifested a pair of M67 frag grenades, pulled both their pins, and tossed them into the kings bleeding mouth. He dove for cover, and a blast rocked the entire mountainside as the explosion from the grenades ignited dragons breath, and tore him open. that last thing that William heard was a scream of pure anguish. Followed by the loud THUNK! of his body hitting the ground serval hundred feet below. William looked down at his leg, and let out a sigh of relief to see that it was still there. He shook his fist in a silent "Success!" He got back up, to see the remainder of the changelings heading for the town. He loaded up an MK19 grenade launcher with air burst rounds, and began to finish off the rest of the swarm. As his weapon clicked on empty, and he summoned up another box of 40mm rounds he realized something.
He had just wiped out an army of thousands of sentient beings, and he couldn't care less.

"Ehh, that's for the royal sisters to decide. Now, where's Chy-" A bolt of magic hit him in the back, causing him to stagger in pain. He turned to se the angry face of Chrysalis staring him down, horn lit.

"Why hello there ma'am, enjoying yourself?"

"GRRRHHH. You'll pay for that you useless monkey!"

"You know, you were always one of my favorites, I happen to have a special fondness for you, and your work, obviously I couldn't care less about your subjects, you on the other hand..." He walked over to her. And to her surprise, gave her a pat on the head.

"What are you doing?!" She recoiled slightly. He lifted his visor, and gave her a malicious grin. "Well, I'm glad to finally get to meet you in person." He smacked her over her horn with the butt of the bowie knife he had pocketed earlier. "That was for making my life hell." He gave her a scratch behind the ears. "I'm going to let you go now, don't try anything, otherwise you'll end up just like him. "He pointed at the destroyed section of the cliff face where the dragon king had fallen. She thought about it for a moment, and reluctantly agreed. William let go of her mane, and she took off back towards the remains of her army. "Next time you want to talk with me, could you please arrange it in advance so you don't end up destroying an entire town in the process?" She looked back at him skeptically .

"What was I thinking? This human's bucking insane!" She shook her head, and flew off back towards the swarm of retreating Griffons, Changelings, and dragons, Now much smaller than it had originally been. He rubbed his eyes, It was about mid day by now, and he was about ready for some lunch. He switched out of his battle armor, still watching the retreating swarm for any stragglers. He began the long hike back down the low mountain and into Ponyville.

One short, painful hike later...

William arrived in town, to find it in ruins, Parts of the outer town lie in ruins from the dragons, and very rooftop in sight was potmarked with bullet holes, and the streets covered with the corpses of dead dragons, and melted changelings.

"It's ok Everypony. You can come out now!" The towns residents slowly began to emerge from their houses to find the carnage that lay in the streets. Some began to cry, others looked at William with looks comprised of confusion and anger, some just fainted, dropping onto the cobblestones with dramatic, or just moronic sighs of, 'not mentally available.'

"William, what is this?" He turned to see the main six, examining the destruction around them.

"They came at me, I came at them. Simple as that, Now if you excuse me, I'm hungry." William took 2 more steps forward, and collapsed in the middle of the town square with his signature look of disapproval adorning his face.

"What do we do now?" Asked Rainbow Dash, kicking the Quiet Kid's shoulder with her right hoof.

"Contact Princess Celestia, she'll know what to do with him." Twilight replied.

Epilogue

William awoke, and sat up to take in his surroundings. He found himself laying in a hospital bed.

"Hey, where the hell did you bring me!?"He turned his head to find the 2 Princesses, followed by the main six enter into the room.
"Greetings William, My name is-"

"Oh, I already know your name's, Celestia and Luna."

"Well, we came here from Canterlot to offer up our thanks, It's not everyday a being from foreign lands offers to save our nation for us, albeit your ways were a bit..."

"Extreme?, Don't worry about it, I was just settling an old feud, my way. Now, Twilight said earlier that you might have a way to send me back home. Do you?"

"Yes, We do, follow us. If you can walk that is."

"Yes I can." With a groan William pushed himself out of bed, and followed them outside where he was greeted by a swarm of thankful ponies.

"I don't much like crowds, But I'm willing to go along with it for now. If only they knew I did it all of my own malicious sense of humor. "He grumbled out the last part.

"What was that?" Celestia turned back to look at him.

"Nothing, continue. "They kept walking until they were at the edge of town. Celestia lit her horn, and a blue portal appeared.

"One more thing, can I get a group photo with you all before I leave?"

"I don't see why not."

There isn't much that could make William genuinely smile. This however, was one of those times.

"Thank you all for everything, By any chance, could I come back someday?"

"Perhaps."

"Well, until next time then." He let out a malicious laugh, and stepped the through the portal.

4 years later...

William was just waking up for another day of collage, when a blue portal opened up in his room.

"It's about damn time!"

He grabbed his backpack of its hook, Changed back into his combat fatigues, manifested up an M4, chambered a round. And hopped through the portal.

"Dear Collage, I'll be studying abroad until further notice!" Another, ever more insidious laugh escaped his mouth as he stepped into the vortex.

Never anger the Quiet Kid, because they just may have been a veteran of some strange, inter dimensional conflict…

Introduction

William was anything but an average, northern Californian highschooler. He was quiet, but not too quiet, and asocial, for his age, with the exception of a few close friends. No one out side of his close group of friends knew much about him, no matter how much others tried to make friends with him, he avoided them, going so far as to sit alone in the cafeteria.

His reason for doing so was simple, he loved and enjoyed things others would consider “bizarre”. First of all he loved firearms, with a passion. Even though he lived in California, and was only 16 he still liked them. He and his dad would go to the shooting range near their house at least once a month and he had used money from doing some jobs around the neighborhood to buy himself a full set of combat fatigues, complete with vest, helmet, and some PVS-7 night vision googles he had gotten at a discount. His father was delighted with all of this and even shared a few of his opinions. The second thing was that he liked to create stories and recite them to himself. Another reason for most kids thinking he was weird, mostly it was just tv show and video games, but often he would come up with all original material.

The final thing was the thing that he delighted in most-well, he liked My Little Pony. He had found out about it after discovering a copy. at his local public library, he tried watch the actual show once or twice, but had always gotten completely weirded out after the first 5 seconds or so, however, he discovered else. The concept of Fanfiction- a thing he fell in love with. He made sure to keep this all a secret of course, it was a strange, abnormal thing. And he made sure to voice his disdain for it at his school when he passed by others who liked- or when he found himself sitting by them in class. Of which there were but a few. He found most of them annoying, and even the ones that didn't have the whole "Join the herd" mentality he was irritated by, or rather seemingly irritated by. You see, William was quite good at the art of lying. Heck he was so good, that he thought that if the CIA ever found out, they would probably try to recruit him, and likely give a hefty paycheck for his services. His life was strange, but still somewhat normal.

however, all of that was about to change...
