The sky erupted with fury as the sky lit up with flashes of lightning. The citizens of Ponyville run to their houses as the roaring sounds of what can only be described a raging war in the sky. The wind billows throughout the town, breaking trees and toppling houses with a mighty, haunting howl. "Everypony, get into the castle as quickly as you can!" Twilight yells, running through the streets, helping those she can out from any rubble and debris. The static electricity in the air buzzed with an unnatural hum, the wind swirled in a central location in the town square, a small tornado formed from the dirt and debris of the now destroyed town hall. Lightning coursed through the tornado like a raging hurricane. Finally, a single giant lightning bolt surged inside the eye of the tornado, and from it; a human emerged...and fainted.
[Twilight's P.O.V]
As I saw the creature emerge from the lightning bolt, my eyes became like pinpricks. I ran over near where the creature appeared, my horn fully charged and ready to blast it if it meant any harm. As my vision focused on the form of the creature, it started to waiver and stumble, soon falling on it's side and seemingly passing out. As soon as he did, the storm almost immediately ceased and calmed down. I sighed, and turned my head towards the castle. "Everypony, get inside the castle and barricade it shut with anything you can find!" I yelled to the ponies that I helped earlier, hoping to keep them from any danger this creature could pose. With my horn still charged, I walk slowly to the creatures passed out form. "What are you?" I asked, not getting any answer. As I got to it, it looked like it was still breathing weakly. I slowly walked a few more steps towards it, just barely three hooves away from it. "Okay..." I breathed, dispelling my magic. "Seems like you're safe...for now..." I trailed, looking around. "Let's get you somewhere safe...for all of us." I said, using my magic to levitate him a few inches off the ground. "One of the unused barns at Sweet Apple Acres should be a safe enough place to see what this thing's intentions are." I whispered to myself, trotting towards the farm.
[World P.O.V]
I took a few minutes for Twilight to pretty much drag the 6 foot 1 tall human to the farm. Weighing over 245lbs, he wasn't the lightest thing in the world, so he was slid half way on the ground so Twilight wouldn't have an aneurysm trying to lift something that heavy. Twilight finally got to the door of Applejack's humble abode, and knocked 3 times with the back of her hoof.
A southern voice soon followed the aforementioned knocks. "Be there in a jiffy!" She called, hoofsteps could be heard swiftly approaching the door.
The door opened quickly, almost with urgency. "Oh, Hi Twi!" She said, a warm smile donned her lips. "What can Ah do ya for?" She asked.
Twilight chuckled a little nervously. "Hi, AJ! You wouldn't mind if I used one of your unused barns, would you?" Twilight asked in a polite urgent and serious tone. She then moved aside to show Applejack her "cargo".
"What in tartaraus is that?!" Applejack exclaimed, jumping back a bit. "This another one of yer science experiments?" She questioned. "You know that mah barn ain't for that kinda thing!" She voiced sternly.
Twilight sighed. "No, it's not that. It's...from the storm earlier." She said, looking back at the human. "It just...appeared from a lightning strike, I just want to make sure it's intentions are good before allowing it to wake up in the middle of a half destroyed Ponyville." Twilight said, looking at Applejack with pleading eyes.
Applejack sighed, lowering her head and closing her eyes. She thought on the matter for a bit before finally deciding her choice. "Alri' sugarcube, but we need to at least tie it up first! I don't want no giant, hairless monkey freakin' out and trying to hurt us as soon as it sees us!" She said sternly.
Twilight nodded. "Agreed."

[Isaac's P.O.V]
The last thing I remember before waking up in some random barn is something that'll change my life forever.
I was in my house playing some new games I bought for my PC, when all of a sudden the sky became dark. "What the hell?" I said, getting up from my computer chair, and looking out my window. Dark clouds, near black swarmed the sky. Everyone in the suburb flocked outside to check out what's going on, puzzled voices and scared kid cries could be heard in the deafening quiet of neighborhood. I look to my clock on my end table by my bed, just behind my desk. "2:45PM" I say to myself, looking back outside.
"This is impossible! It looks like night time!" I heard someone say.
Just then, however, lightning struck from within the clouds, orange and red lit the sky. "Heat lightning, maybe?" I say to myself, opening the window. "Hey, you guys should get back inside, I just saw some lightning not to far from us!" I called to the other families. But just before I shut my window, a flash of red tore through my vision as a bolt struck just four feet in front of me. The sound that followed damn near split my ears, making them ring and causing me to fall over. As I opened my eyes, another strike filled my vision with orange and red, like police lights in different colors. This time, I felt a slight pain in my whole body...then...nothing. Everything went numb as I closed my eyes.
I waited for something to happen; like sound to come back, but nothing.
I waited more, for my vision to come back...still nothing...
...
.....
......
'OKAY COME ON NOW!' I screamed in my head, getting fed up. 'Am I dead?! Unconscious?! In a coma?! The fuck's goin on?!' I once again yelled in my head, or...wherever I was.
Just before I was about to try to yell again, an impossibly bright light flowed into my "vision". Then, a voice spoke, coming from everywhere. "Your answers will be found in the place where the Giant's Sphere is hidden..." The voice echoed withing my entire being, it was majestic and terrifying. "To find the Sphere, you must find yourself...to find yourself, you must find the fragments...good luck, Chosen One." The voice echoed once again.
I tried to ask it what it meant before I heard thunder, followed by a bright light. After the light died down, there was a small purple unicorn with a horn staring at me. My eyes grew wide, then darkness filled my vision once more and I passed out.
Author's Note
Sorry if the final half of the chapter felt rushed, my brain has a hard time typing out what I see for the chapter, and its even harder to make it clear as to what I see in my head when its late :p But it's the only time I get to write! (ALSO MORE Ali and Sean chapters are on their way! Just trying to make sure everything's as consistent and comprehensible as possible! :D)
