First day of hell

I ran threw the trees and past several animals that hid in their homes. Lucky for them as the things chasing me are no joke. Hell, I don't even know what these things are. They are wooden wolves and as soon as they spotted me I was their next meal. But I could see that there was a way out. Just a little further and I might just make it out of here. Jumping over a bush and out of the woods I landed and kept running. My eyes adjusted to the light of the sun. And I could make out what looked like a person. He was short but he could help. Or he will just run away leaving me to my wooden pursuers. But taking that chance I yelled as loud as I could.

"HELP!!!!" His head turned and he saw me. But my hopes were dashed away when he turned and high-tailed it. "YEAH, WAIT!!!" I yelled more but he ran toward a town. My hope was back and better than ever. But I was reminded that there were three very dangerous wood wolves behind me. I was getting tired and I knew I had to do something. My knife was strapped to my belt and thinking fast I unbuttoned it. That allowed the handle to be gripped and ready to use.

Taking it in my hand and pulling it out I turned on my heel. I slashed at the closest wolf and I hit my target. The wolf whimpered and backed away same did the other two.

"Yeah, that's right. Fuck around and find out shitheads!" I said with the biggest grin on my face. The two who were not injured ran back to the forest. But the one with the slash on its face growled. It was ready to pounce on me and turn me into its next me. Don't know if consuming this much fat is healthy but that's not the biggest problem here. My eyes met his and I pointed my blade at him.

"HEY!!" A distance voice shouted and I turned to look. But that was not a good idea on my end. For the briefest of moments I saw seven figures. One was the dude from earlier. But I was tackled to the ground by the wooden wolf. It claws cut deep into my skin. Blood spilled on the ground below me. Thinking fast I turned the blade to where it was pointing down. The razor edge facing away from me. Bringing it down I stuck with force.

"GET THE FUCK OFF ME!!" blood, wood, and sap littered the ground. The wooden wolf was going for my throat. But I plunged my blade into its weak wooden skull. The sound of wood splitting echoed all around me. Make sure this thing will remain dead I turned the blade cracking the wooden skull in two. Pushing it to the side I took a deep breath only for me to wease in pain. That thing almost ripped my stomach open. But it only get the right side underneath my ribs. Lifting my right hand after letting it sit on the ground I saw it covered in my own blood. I was loosing conscious and my vision was fading fast.

"Oh Celestia, we need to help him." I could hear a voice only a few feet away from me. But I let my head rest yeah that's all I need is rest. My eyes are really tired I just need to sleep.

Darkness, darkness was all I could see. My body felt numb and I could barely move. But I wanted to I wanted to fight for something or was it someone? My mind was wondering and I thought back to my family. I have to get back to them no matter what must be done. I opened my eyes to see myself laying on the ground. In the middle of an ally way three bullies running away from my brother. He stands tall and looks at them with a glare as they flee. Then he turns and looks down at me. Facing me he bends his knees and looks me dead in the eyes.

"You, little, pussy."

My eyes shot opened and I looked around at where I was. But everything was blurry and I could only make out afew things. I lived like this for years so this is nothing new to me. But I wish I could afford contacts. Glasses are a pain in the ass. I was going to try and sit up but pain shot threw out my body. My head fell back to the pillow and my heart was pounding. I went to rub my forehead as sweat was forming as well as a headache. But my hands were restricted by clamps or cuffs. Can't really tell with my shit eye site. That was when I heard the door open and what sounded like heels come in. Taking the chance I decided to say something but I didn't know what.

"Hey, where I am?" A gasped came out from the right of me. Raising my head to look I was a human shaped burl.

"You can speak?" By the voice it was a she. A nurse more likely but it could be a doctor.

"Yeah? But where are my glasses I can't really see." I decided to ignore the fact she was surprised at me having the ability to speak.

"Oh those are broken and we are working on repairs now." She says that like it was normal. And having that I signed and asked.

"So how much would it caused." My head turned to her as that was all I could do.

"What? We don't charge patients here sir." She seemed to be taken aback by that question and that surprised me.

"Well that's good to hear. Where I am?" That was the next question to ask i my mind. After all I don't remember New Mexico forest looking like the one I was in. Not only that but the fucking wooden wolves are another.

"Well sir, you are in Ponyville hospital." That raised an eye brow and I asked.

"Where is this Ponyville?" I couldn't tell but I am britty sure she gave me a weird look.

"Well it in Equestria, sir." She said confused at the question and making my eyes go wide. Never heard of Equestria and I sure as hell would have. I mean if it has resources then the U.S would most definitely be here. My head sank deeper into the billow and she must have noticed.

"Your heart rate has elevated, are you okay? She asked concerned on my health. And that was when I realized the bandage on my right hear. It was quiet on my right ear and there was a faint beeping. I think that is the heart monitor or what ever it is called.

"Well I need rest can you leave me please?" I asked not sure if she would. But to my surprise she seem to nod her head and leave me. I was tired and barely awake for that conversation. But awake enough to talk and listen. But now I sleep and hope this is all just a Nightmare.

Revelation

Having spend the better few days bed ridden I had gotten to know my nurse better. He name is nurse Redheart, I don't think she wants to give me her first name. Then again this is her work place, she is most likely counting the hours dow to go home. But I have noticed something with her that I know for a fact is there. She has a snout like an animal and her skin color is way to white for it to be normal. And I top of that she speeks of these princesses I have never heard of. The more she speeks the more I starting to believe that I am not home or I am slowing dying in the woods at Gallup. And this is all just my mind coping with it in my final moments. But there is one thing that debunks that and that was when a doctor check up on me. Now this normally would not do much. But the doc used something in his head to lift my right arm. When this happen it glowed a blue light and I could hear what sounded like humming. My right arm then felt like it was on fire. But instead of my nerves feeling like they where being destroyed. It just felt like they where being ticketed. He seem to notice my reaction and wrote it down then left. That was two days ago and I hadden't heard from him. But I was informed that was getting visitors. That was when nurse red heart walk in. Still could wear my glasses due to my fucked up right ear. But I grew up with these eyes I can last a few more weeks.

"So nurse Redheart, you said I was getting visited today?" I asked looking at the white and pink blur. That was something I have also noticed. Her hair was pink and I hope it is just my eyes but I think I saw some pink near her rear end is. I would ask but I don't want to get slapped while I bed ridden.

"Oh yes, Twilight and some of her friends are coming to see you. They will be here shortly." I knew she was smile as she refilled a class of water on the night stand. As well as checking the IV drip. Apparently those wooden wolves had poison on their claws. They only use it on big pray howevere so that's a hit to my confidence.

"Oh good, no offence but I would like to talk to different people." I say as she raises her hand or finger can't tell. But puts it down as we have done that far too many times. We would argue well more like she would correct me but I would continue to use people instead of 'pony'. Witch is more evidence that I am not in American.

"Oh none taken, after all you are the strangest penitent I had over the years." That got me to raise an eye brow and I looked toward her blur.

"What do you mean by that exactly?" She seem to take in the question and give an answer that baried my hope for being in America.

"Well I never see your species in my life." My heart shank as I realized what that meant. She didn't seem to notice however as she left. I was there for an hour or so thinking on where the hell I was. Could I be in hell? Or is this all in my head? I am dreaming? I am in a comma, waiting to wake up but failing and slowing dying? But all those could've been true after all I have felt something completely new to my body. And how I got here is something to look over.

Alright I was walking home to my apartment after a family get together. Gallup is small so it was really nothing to a mile of two away from there. But was I took a shortcut threw some trees I noticed it went from night to day almost instant. I stood there confused and looking around. That was when I noticed the trees where different as well. Then those fucking wolves showed up one by one. I was scared hell I want to call out for help. But I knew there was no one around. So I did the next best thing. Fuck haul ass until you get somewhere save. That god I am at least somewhat fit. Other wise I would have been their next meal. The sudden opening of my door knocked my train of thought off the rails.

"They are here to see you now." Redhearts voice said as opened the door to let six blurs in.

"Oh well thanks, my thoughts where getting the best of me." I say as they fill the room. All six of these blurs where different colors and each seem to move differently as well. I could tell all are female do to their body shape. But facial features are harder as it would hurt my eyes just trying to focus on them. Nurse Redheart left leave me and the six women alone. "So what brings you to my neck of woods?" I say trying to be funny but I think that was just cringeworthy.

The first to speak and nearly make my heart jump out of my check was the pink one.

"HimynameispinkiepieandIwantedtoknowyourfavitefavorforcakeandicecreamforyourwelcometoponyvileparty." I am glad I babysat for my sister other wise I would not know that ways of gibberish.

"Well hi pinkie, I am Chaz Cooley. And well I like chocolate. And damn I already hungry for it." That was when she presented a chocolate bar in her hand. I could tell what it was and I was grateful for it. As soon as I took it she zoomed off. And I mean that literally she fucking zoomed out the room leaving a pink dust cloud. Now I know I am not on earth hell I think I am in a comma with that one. "So, what do you all want to ask and or talk about. Because I now believe I am not on earth anymore."

The purple one stepped up and began asking questions. "You are a human? Correct?" She asked bring out what I assume is notebook and quill.

"Yes, and I assume all of you are Ponies? Because of the way Redheart connected me you all say ponies instead of people." With all the information I have gathered I true believe I am either in another world or in a comma slowly dying.

"Yes that is correct. You seem to figure things out for yourself." I smiled knowing that my mind is both an asshole and a blessing.

"Can you to eggheads stop with the boring questions." The cyan blur said and I could help but chuckle at that.

"Well what do you want to know?" She seem to perk up at that and she asked.

"Where did you learn those moves? You moved like a street fighter." That was something I was not expecting to ask. Well if she wants to know I should tell.

"My brother, he taught me several moves to both do a lot of damage, and knock out someone fast." I couldn't tell but by the way she jumped she seem happy by that.

"You are cool but not as cool as me of course." I could tell she was striking a pose. Chuckling again I shook my head at her gusto.

"Well is that it or do any of you have more questions?" The white one stepped forward and asked her question.

"What kind of foot wear that you have? I never seen anything like them." I knew she was talking about my steel toe boots.

"Well those are steel toe boots. They are made with the purpose of protecting my feet." I pointed at my feet at the same time the purple one took notes. "Sorry but I wish to get your names and we can call it a day. I am getting tired."

One by one the introduce themselves to me. The purple one was Twilight mention earlier by Redheart. The cyan one is called Rainbow dash. The write one is called Rarity. And then the organ and yellow one did the same. Organ is called Applejack and the yellow is called Fluttershy. I put those names on the back burners of my brain. And they soon left with Twilight asking about my home. I gave her some answers but not all.

I just hope this is another world and not a comma.

A world unknown

I could finally see the world around me and I was shocked to say the least. They where pony people or something like that. Its as if someone fucked a pony thousands of years ago. And I now wish I hadn't thought of that as my mind really went there.

Standing I put on my clothes they have sown together. That must have been Rarity, after all she offered but that might come back to bite. After all some people will use that as a debt to get something out of me. They where sown quiet well to be honest. And I can hardly tell that there was a slash on the back. Finally I had my steel toe boots on and my knife secure on my belt. Surprised that they gave it to me when I asked. Then again they seem too peaceful and it is something I need to get use to. After all I might be here for awhile. That was when nurse Redheart walked through the door and noticed me.

"Oh I see that your stitches are not bothering you." She smiled and I couldn't help but smile as well.

"Well I had stables in my head due to an accident." She seemed to be surprised at that but quickly changed.

"Well lets hope your not back here immediately. Now we need to get those stitches out before you leave." She then prepared some tweezers and waited for me to lift my shirt.

Minutes pasted as I then walked out to the town called Ponyvile. Ponies walked pasted me like any other person. Some gave me a look and I couldn't help be feel like a new kid in school. Most if not all eyes where in me and I couldn't help but walk away looking down at the ground. I need to find a way back home. Maybe those two princess Twilight and Redheart mentioned. Twilight may be a better bet. She seem to know a lot about one and I hope it is personal and not oppression.

"Right this way, just keep fallowing me-" a familiar voice was heard and cut off by me pumping into her. I was so lost in thought I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" I cut her off again this time with a raise of my hand. Fluttershy then realized who it was she pumped into and her eyes widen. "You're out of the hospital, oh I am glad your okay."

"Yeah same here but sorry for pumping into you I was lost in thought." That's when I noticed the family of ducks she was leading. With what we talked about in the time I was in the hospital that check out. "Well anyways I will let you carry on with your duck transport." Don't know why but I decided to take a few steps back.

"Hey! I'm walking here!" Turning around I saw what looked like a lion eagle type thing. Of course she was also anthropomorphic so we where face to face.

"Sorry about-" before I could even finish the apology she yelled out in shock.

"Uhh! What the fuck are you!?" That made me chuckle as I was expecting something like this. It just took longer than expected. To be really honest, I thought that reaction could happen as soon as I stepped out of the hospital.

"Well, I am a human. Chaz Cooley, it would be nice to meet you but frankly your being a bitch." I say with a little smile on my face. Her face turned to one where she looked sickened by me. To one where she looks like she want to rip my throat out. Fluttershy passed both of us by that point same with the family of ducks.

"The fuck you say to me?" She said as she seem to put her back straight.

"I said you are being a bitch. What you got fucked up hearing as well. Or are you too stupid to understand me?" I say a shit eating grin growing on my face. She got angrier at that and that did not lessen the grin.

"Keep talking and I will make your face uglier than it is already." She stared daggers at me and that.brought me back home if only for minute.

"I would like to see you try. I have a saying, words are nothing if you ain't got nothing to back them up." I stand then my shit eating grin turning into one that is ready for a fight. Her eyes widen and she seems scared for only a second. Then it turned to a smile on her beek.

"Ha, guess this place ain't so lame after all. I will see you around Chaz the human." She opens her wings and flies away. At the same time putting dust in my eyes most likely not on purpose. Wiping my face off with my shirt I put back on my glasses only to see two eyes in front of me.

"Oh hi pinkie," I could feel her nose on mine as she was in my personal bubble.

"HIYA CHAZY" She says with the biggest smile on her face. I can't help but sigh at her nick name for me.

"Pinkie, Its chaz please stop using that nickname." This was my fifth of sixth time asked her this week but she continues with it.

"SOOOO, Chazy you want to be at a party I am throwing for our new friend!?" She yelled out in excitement as she looked at me. Having more important things to get to I have to decline.

"Sorry, pinkie but I need to get to twilight, we have 'matters' to discus." I say walking backwards making sure she is in my sight. After all I have seen her pop out of nowhere. Turning and walking away I hop she doesn't fallow as she both makes me laugh and deeply frightens me. Lucky for me she seems to be focused on the party and I heard a zoom sound I am assuming was made by her.

"Okay, so twilight said something about a laundry... And I am talking to myself." Well better then talking to no one and having people look at you like a crazy person. Then again since I here in this world everyone here looks at me like that. Heading deeper in the town I see a tree above the town. I head there thinking it might be at the center of the town. But when I got there I saw a sign in front of it. As I got closer I saw more of the so called tree.

"I am starting to think god as a since of humor." I say to myself as I look at the sign and the literal tree house. The sign read 'Golden oak library' this might be twilight's place. Taking a breathe and get ready to knock the door. Walking up to the door I feel a since of dread. Just something seem off like I am facing a brick wall.

"Twilight it's Chaz, Can we talk about how I can get home?" I say as I knock on the door. Trying to ignore the since of dread I await for her to open the door. The doors dose open but it is not twilight rather it was a small lizard thing.

"Woah, dude what are you?" It said as it looked at me. I give it the same look of 'what the fuck are you.' He or at least I think it was a he was purple with green spikes on his head and back.

"I can ask you same thing, is twilight here?" I asked wanting to get back to the plan of getting home.

"Oh, no sorry dude want do you need?" He says leaning on the door frame wile opening it more.

"Well I need to talk to her and I would like to know where she is, by the way whats your name?" I asked hoping I can make some friends to help me calm down.

"Oh, my name is Spike, and Twilight went out to a party pinkies throwing." He says as he looks at me most likely wanting my name.

"The names Chaz, and thanks I head to party you know where it is?" I was sifting on my feet as the feeling of the time I waste here will only effect my home more.

"Yeah, its sugar cube corner just head down this world and take a left you can't miss it." He says while pointing to my left.

"Thank you spike." I turn around and walk down the street he told me about. Taking a left I looked for a sign that said sugar cube corner. But I don't think I need to as I see a literal gingerbread house. But hey maybe I can get a bite at this party pinkie is throwing. I mean not like I am walking into a fight.

When push comes to shove

I stagger back as a fist hit me square in the face. My glasses fly off my face and land on the ground. The lens of the glasses pop out and scatter. Things are blurry but I step back as I see a fist being thrown. I am at a disadvantage here I can barely make out a figure standing in front of me. But I remember what he taught me. Keep your hands up your feet ready to move and fight with all your might. I could hear ponies around me yelling. Telling me and who ever I am fighting with to stop.

"Gilda stop it was an accident!" I heard a familiar voice come from behind the blur. It then throws a right hook which I block as best I could. But I must have been off alittle bit as pain shot through my left forearm. Taking a few steps back I shut out all the yelling around me. I needed to focus, after all that's what he thought me to do. I may not be able to see things from afar but I can see a little up close.

I duck another right hook and not wasting an opportunity I gut punch my opponent. The wind had to be knocked out of them as I see the blown, white, and black blur step back holding where I punched. Still seeing an opportunity I delivere a left hook hitting them right in the jaw. But my fucking hand stung from that it was like hitting plastic or bone. The blur seem to notice my pain as it grip my shirt collar.

"You'll pay for that!" It screamed the voice familiar but no time to dwell on it. Thinking fast I grabbed the lion paws like hands by the wrist. Pulling my head back I knew this will either hurt or it will back up in time. Thrusting my head forward I felt it impact another skull. The blown lion like paws letting go. My head fucking hurt from that but I am pretty sure I hurt it more than me. Opening my eyes I look around only to see that the blur was on the floor. To make sure it doesn't fuck with me again I kick it straight where I think its stomach is. I heard that familiar voice cough as I hit the blur.

"Yeah! You don't fuck with a COOLY!" I say stepping back and wondering on if my glasses can be fixed. "Hey can anyone help me get my glasses, I can barely make out anything around me." I asked seeing a purple blur use magic with a purple glow. "Oh thank you Twilight, if that is you." I thanked the purple blur.

As I heard magic go off I could see my glasses being floated toward me. Or what I could make out was my glasses being magically floated toward me. But the it seems who I was fighting didn't get the warning and held my arms up from behind. And using their knee, kneed me in the back each strike fucking hurt.

"FUCK YOU!!" I yelled as I threw my head back hitting something that felt like a beek. But the feather cover arms let go. Turning around I began to punch away seeing that Griffin girl was the one I was fighting. My rage reaching its peak I deliver another punch. Knocking her down to the ground I stand on top of her.

I punch her again with a right hook then again with a left. This repeated for a minute until a rope was tossed on my torso and arms.

"That's enough! Chaz!" Applejacks voice rang out as I was pulled away with force. Hell if she pulled any harder she might have broken my arms. I then felt my glasses land on my lap. Most likely thrown at me by the girls. Hell by how most pony doctors looked at me like an animal. So with them seeing this side of me is not helping that.

"What The Fuck CHAZ!?" I heard Rainbow Dashes voice yell to me as I put on my glasses. They where most likely fixed by twilight. Now being able seeing I see Rainbow Dash giving me a death stare.

"I defended myself by a Griffin who seemed to think punching someone is a good hello." I say sarcastically as I look at Rainbow Dash blankly.

"So you break her beek!?" Rainbow Dash yelled rushing to the Griffins side helping her up.

"She threw the first punch and found out what happens when you punch a Cooly." I say as I see her walk away with the Griffin. I believe her name was Gilda never got to ask. "Ain't my fault she wanted to start shit." Rainbow Dash and Gilda just kept walking not looking back. I look at the other girls seeing Fluttershy and Pinkie back away in fear. That was when I felt a hand smack me across the face. I was expecting it to be Twilight or applejack but it was Rarity. I was taking aback by this act by before I said anything she spoke.

"That was no way to treat a mare." The statement confused me more as she said that. After all I thought she dipped after she saw me act like that.

"Is that all you had to say?" I asked confused even more as the rope around me went slack. Applejack rolled up the rope and then looked at me.

"Listen here Chaz, I ain't sayin your in the right, but you did act in self defense." Applejack said as I look at her face trying to read it. But there is nothing she seemed scared yet understanding. "But I if you try anything like that to my friends or family I send you to tartarus myself you hear?" I nod simply understanding where she was coming from. After all I know about wanting to protecting the one's I love.

"I'm going for walk I would like to be left alone." I say turning around and walking away. As I walk the pain fading away as I take each step. My steps the only think on my mind. The ponies who spot me rush to their homes. I could hear them barricade their doors. Understandable after all they most likely seen me act like an animal. Or they just fear me like I am a monster. Maybe they have a point I'm not a pony I don't belong here. I'm a broken man wanting nothing but to be home and finish my job.

"I have a Job to do?" I say as I lift my head realizing I look at the forest I came out of. That seems to be my only chance to get home. But its a risk of dying, painful and slow. "Its, worth the risk, After all I have a job to do." As I say that I take out my snake eye blue knife and holding it tight. "I have a job to do." Walking forward I head into the forest determined to find a way home.

Walking through the forest I look back and forth to at the trees. The forest feels unnatural yet natural at the same time. I have always felt drawn to this forest. Suddenly a timberwolf ran toward me but acting fast I strike it making it whimper. Walking toward it I lift my steel toe covered foot up and slamming it down hard. I stomped on this wolf's head over and over again the wood snapping and making a sound. I look around seeing more eyes on me.

"You want some!?" I say as I look at them not afraid. They seem to be taken aback by this. To my surprise they backed off from me as they run away. My mind raced as I wondered why they backed up. Maybe the work on fear or maybe there's a bigger threat. I look up and saw the largest space bear. Thinking fast I duck and hide waiting for it to pass by. I have no idea how I didn't notice it before. Its steps shake the very ground and it grows more distant. I better moving before I become Timberwolf food. Walking further in I look around my snake eye blade still out and ready. That was when I came across a bridge. Looking forward I then saw a Castle towering over the trees. Taking the chance I then nodded my head as I walked to the bridge. It shaked and wobbled with each step I took. Not wanting to loose my knife from losing my balance I put it back in its sheave. After doing this I take each step carefully and with patience. That was when I heard a familiar growling behind me.

"Ah, Hell." I say turning around and looking at the large timberwolf. It was looking at me like it found a large meal for him to each. But with the bridge being in the state its in I doubt it would do anything to put itself at risk. But it would totally fuck with me and that rang true.

The left side of the bridge went slack as it slashed at the ropes. I say fuck it to the slow and steady and just go for it. After all I am dead either way if I take it slow. The right side of the bridge was getting more slack and I couldn't help but go faster. The bridge suddenly fell and I leaped for the other side. I gripped on the wood for dear life. Pulling my self up I looked back at the large timberwolf.

"Yeah! FUCK YOU!" I get up and run towards the castle as I am not talking any chances with that timberwolf. But I am ready for anything after all I need to get back home. And as he taught me before you push back when they shove.

Cold as the Night

The Castle was run down and in ruins. Seems to have been here for countless years. After escaping the death trap of a bridge, I was less then ready for anything. Crazy how life will humble you in the most shit your pants ways. Finding what seems like the main entrance of the ruin castle. I put my hand on the handle of my snake combat knife. Not really seeing or sensing anything dangerous here. My steel toe boots clang on the stone floor broke widows and rusted armor stands line the walls.

"This place is a real shit hole." I say to myself, glass shards littering the floor. This place was like a maze and I'm pretty sure I'm lost. I then stumble upon the throne room. Entering in I look at the passed destruction here. It seems like a battle happened here. But no dried blood or skeletons so it might have been none lethal. I saw what remains of the thrones. Both sustained damage, either a slash or a burn. The two thrones had a symbol of a sun on the larger one. And the moon on the smaller one.

I believe Twilight told me about two princesses. Is this their old Castle? Or maybe this was their parents Castle. Either way this place might have answers to how to get home. Or maybe a minor that leads to home. I don't give a shit what is here as long as it could get me home. Walking out of the throne room I see spiral stairs leading up. Walking up the stairs I am honestly questioning my choices as these stairs could collapse. But that is all worth it as I must get home and get the job done. Reaching the top I all there is was a door. Wanting to look everywhere for an answer I open the and walk inside.

Walking up the fucking mountain of stairs I finally came across a wooden door. The door had a symbol of the moon. Same as the one of those thrones I saw. This might be a former leaders room. A leader would keep powerful artifacts with them. Maybe one of them could help me. Or could give me magical cancer, honestly would be better fate then those Timberwolves. Opening the door and stepping inside I sweep over the room. One to see if there is anything here that might rip out my throat. And to see if anything is out of the ordinary. But then again this place has magic. I would have to thing outside of my logic. Honestly makes me shiver at the thought that magic can fuck with my head. After all that shit has already gone through enough.

The bedroom itself was not anything to in awe about. That might have to do with the duct and overgrowth on the walls. There was a bed at the far end of the room opposite of the door. Next to the bed was a bookshelf that looked like it was on its last leg. Hell a light breeze could turn that bookshelf to splinters.

Stepping further into the room I pull out my snake combat knife. Something seem off about this room and I could feel it. I had experience with spirits in my home and work. And this place gives me the same feeling that something is here and dosen't want to be seen. The room was normal to and extant. But that feeling would just not go away. It seems that this spirit like to watch but doesn't want to be seen. Turning quickly to see a very dark shadow I stare at it.

"Spirit, show yourself I know your there." I normal just go for my rosary around my neck. But I doubt that it would do anything in this world. Suddenly the very shadow oozed out like a ink. It surrounded the space I was in and only the dust sun light was visible. The darkness was all around me but I did not waver after all darkness is something I am familiar with.

"How interesting." A female voice called out from the dark abyss. And soon enough two eyes the resembled snakes gazed at me. I stared back their blue eyes meeting mine. A toothy grin appeared in the abyss the teeth sharp. "No pony has every sensed me in this form." The face moved my eyes still on it as I fallow her with my eyes.

"Well I'm not a pony." I say with a deadpan look and voice. The face smiled more her eyes fixed on me.

"I can see that little worm." She says as she moves around in the black abyss. "But you are quiet the human." That caught my attention as she knew what I was so that mean she knows about my world.

"You know what I am, So that mean you know how to send me back." I point to her wanting her to listen at what I have to say. "You will tell me how to get back to my home. Because you don't fuck with a Cooly." As soon as those woods left my mouth her grin grew. A sinister laugh rang out through out the room and the abyss.

"You humans are always so entertaining to me." I don't know if I was seeing things but I think she wipe away tears. "Well then, a threat is nothing if not backed up by action." She seemed to back up in the very black abyss. I knew what she wanted me to do. I smile and and take her up on the challenge.

I looked at the face and staring at her I took the first step into the abyss. The second I stepped in the abyss I felt an overwhelming since of cold. I close my tightly as I smile deeply.

"Its so.... Comforting" I say in a breathe as the cold feels so nice. I have always loved the cold. After all I lived in gallup before I arrived here. And that place can get sweat your ass off hot. I reach my hand deep into the abyss. Dark tentacles raps around my fingers and arms. They seem to welcome me and I embrace them as well.

"How is this possible?" The face said as the abyss covered my entire body. Soon enough I felt normal with a slight cold breeze. "No normal pony can even step into the abyss let alone stand in it." I look toward her as she moved around looking at me with a confused and critical eye. I look at her as well wondering if she has the way back to my home.

"I'm only going to asked this once. Can you send me home or has the means to get me there?" The very dark abyss around us moves as I talked. It seems that maybe I could control the shadows. Although that is not high on my priorities. The face looks at me and smiles. That was when she decided to show herself fully.

She was a head taller than me with dark black fur. Her wings fluttered and then folded against her back. A long horn was a top her head and her razor sharp teeth continued to smile at me. She looks like a alicorn that twilight had told me about. But she said there was only three. And I don't think taillight mentioned this one in those three.

"Aw, you search for way back to your world." Her voice was low and almost seemed amused by my predicament. "I don't have the means to send to you home." I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I knew it wouldn't be that easy. "But I have the knowledge to whom that can bring you home."

"Where!?" I almost scream out the instant she finished saying that. It seems she liked that reaction as her grin grew.

"Eager? Aren't you~" She says her voice taking on a sister tone as well as one of unholy thoughts. I grip my fists ready to do anything for to get back home. "I will share this knowledge on one condition." Her grin grew as she took steps around me. Not taking my eyes off her I notice a moon symbol on her armor. I believe Twilight told me that it is a cutie mark. They wear it on their clothes as it there cutie mark is on their bodies. When I asked Twilight where on the body she blushed as changed the subject.

This 'cutie mark' was strange as it was one that twilight showed me. It was one of the princess cutie marks. I believe twilight told me it was Princess Lunas. But why would Princess Luna be here and in a old rotting castle in the middle of this death trap forest?

"I am Nightmare Moon, and I want you to be my Dark Knight." She stopped in front of me a sword in her hand. The swords guard was a half moon. She held the sword in a way that kings would when they are going to knight someone.

"What does being your 'Dark Knight' mean and can I have your word you will tell me who can send me home." I say as I realize that this was nightmare moon I have read about. Those days in the hospital were boring but those books help. Sure I had my phone but they would give it to me as they didn't trust it.

"I give you my word and the Princess of the Night!" Her voice boomed through the abyss and my options were limited. If there is even a chance that I have a way home the I must take the risk.

"I Chaz, Tino, Cooly kneel and pledge to be your Dark Knight." I get down to one knee hoping that I making the right choice.

"I knight you Sir, Chaz the dark Knight of Nightmare Moon." The sword was placed on both of shoulders. I then felt the abyss cling on to my very being. It seemed to cling to my very soul. Yet I didn't cry out in pain rather I smiled feeling the cold was so comforting. Suddenly the abyss disappeared and the setting sunlight came back into the room. But the feeling of the very abyss was still there. But I did mind that was when I got a name repeating itself in my mind. It sounded something like Discord.

This feels familiar

I walked through the Everfree forest but it was too quiet. Almost like a predator was going to attack. But I have been walking around from hours. So long that the sun set and the moon took its place. Speaking of the sun set it seemed like the sun went down faster than the one back home. Twilight did say the Princess Celestia was the one who controls that. But does Nightmare Moon control the night? Or does Luna, maybe they both rule over the night but I doubt that. After all the legend goes that she tried to plung the world into eternal night.

Suddenly a spear landing only inches away from hitting me. Acting fast I take a few steps back. Taking cover behind a tree I hear movement in the bushes. Pulling out my snake eye blade its blue steel shining in the moonlight. But as soon as I peak around the tree a blade was held up to my neck.

"You are you beast, yet can you be trust at the least." A women's voice said as I drop my combat knife.

"Look I'm just trying to get back to Ponyville." I say not moving an inch as I could tell that her blade was sharp. She then moved to were I could see her. Her cloak hid her face not that I could make out her face. It was too dark due to the tree and it being night.

"Ponyville is what you seek? But is it the truth that you speak?" She looks towards me her mussel poking out of her hood. I noticed that it was black and white like a Zebra.

"I'm telling the truth hell if you give me directions I walk out of here and leave you alone." She grips my snake eye combat knife and looks it over. I couldn't tell of she was looking at it to take it or give it back. That was when she lowered her blade and handled me my mine.

"I will trust what you say. Now come we wait until day." She said walking away as I put my combat knife away and fallow. As I walked behind her my eyes adjusted to the dark. Looking around I noticed that I am seeing much clearer in the dark. Must be apart of being Nightmare Moons knight. Hell with what 'knowledge' she gave me I'm starting to regret agreeing to be her knight.

But if this Disord person can truly take me home it was worth it. That was when we walked out to a clearing. A lone tree was all there was and as I expected it was a house. I'm honestly waiting on a house made out of rock. She lead the way and held the door open for me. But what she didn't expect me to do was simple lay on ground and close my eyes.

"I appreciate the hospitality but I rather not stay a house with someone I don't trust." My body began to relax as I have learned to sleep anywhere. "Sorry but blame the fact you held a blade to my neck." I finish saying my body not wanting to moves. Sure sleeping out here is huge risk. But at this point I would take my chances out here than with her. I'm sure she is trustworthy but she has to work for that with me. That was when I heard the door close.

Yawning I was confirmable enough to fall asleep. I drift off to another dreamless sleep and to another tiring morning.

"Chaz?" I heard a familiar voice as I sleep. I ignored it as I continued to sleep. "Chaz Wake up." My eyes shot open to see I was in the passenger seat of a muscle car. "Didn't get much sleep uh?" I turn to the voice which was in the driver's seat. My eyes widen as I look at him and his smirking face.

"Elon?" I say in disbelief that he is just here. But that was when he continued to speak.

"I checked you out from school for a reason remember?" He says testing my memory as I had fell asleep in his car.

"Because you broke the front door lock and no one's home." I say remembering this day and that he was just so relaxed.

"Yup me and my dumbass fucked up." He says laughing lightly. Turning into our homes front yard he looks to me. "Alright just head inside and make sure we don't get robbed." He say cracking a smile at me making me laugh.

"Sure thing Elon." I say openly the car door and stepping out. "Love you Elon." I say tears in my eyes and her looks back.

"Love you too brother."

I jolt awake and look around the sun in my eyes. As soon as my eyes focus I could see I was still in this forest. It was just another dream. One where I could smile and act like it never happened. Standing up I look over to that strange woman house. That was when she stepped out wearing her hood.

"Good morning my guess." She say before walking into the forest. I fallow her as I need to get back to Ponyville. "I hope you got rest, Now what where you doing in this forest?" She asked me looking back at me her eyes looking into mine.

"I was looking for way back to my word but didn't find shit." I say dodging the part with Nightmare Moon. She nodded and looked forward and continued to walk. "Your accent it seems familiar to some back at my home." She glanced back looking at me for a second.

"Zebrica is my home, Now you can walk alone." I was confused on what she meant by that. But that was when I saw that Ponyville was dead head. The Everfrees forest trees stopped and plain grass started.

"Thanks, oh I never got your name." I say smiling that I could sleep on a couch. She looked at me her light blue eyes and smile facing me.

"Zecroa, Good bye my friend now go before the days end." I was confused as it was only like noon but hey time is weird here. Walking to the town I for long time I had a smile on my face. Sure this wasn't my home but this was a place that helped me. But the dirty looks and glares dosen't help. Well actually this might be more like home after all. I constantly get the feeling of familiar racism. Sure I a different species but I still just a person.

Walking through the town the streets were strangely empty. I'm not a sun person but I thought there was whole religion after it. Or a monarchy after it as there's a princess that can control the sun. That was when I was suddenly pulled into a dark room.

"Oh Shit!, I'll fuck you up!!" I half yelled half screamed as I swung wildly. But that soon stopped as I hit something metal. It resulted in my hand in pain and what sounded like pans hitting the floor.

"Chazy Calm down it me pinky." That was when a flashlight turned. I could see that I was in a kitchen. My hand stung and Looking at the floor I saw that there was pans on the floor.

"Jesus Pinky, don't do that. Scared the crap out of me." I say rubbing my hand as I pretty much punched metal. It wasn't broken but it hurt to move. It will get better just need to let the pain die down.

"Can you keep it down and watch the swearing partner." Applejacks head peak behind a door. The door I assume lead to a dining area. And on that assumption I believe I'm in sugar cube corner. No matter how many times I say that name it also seems familiar to me. But where have I heard it.

"Sorry Applejack, I can't help with the swears I'm like a sailor." I apologize as I'm already in deep shit with this group. Haft of them look at me like I'm going to knock them to the ground. Its not something I use to hell I down right hate the look. But there's not much I can do but try and keep my cool. That's when spike walked in and he gave me a smile.

"Oh, Hey Chaz. You hiding from Zecroa to?" That got me confused as I walked with Zecroa not to long ago.

"No but what's going on?" I asked him as her walked over to the fridge. That was when I realized he was up to my chest. Hell if he's only a kid then hell he's gonna be tall.

"You should ask the girls, I'm going to eat something." I responded as he looked in the fridge and or freezer. Rolling my eyes I walked through the swinging doors. That's when I saw the girls I was going to ask them what's going on but I stopped as my heart stopped.

"The plants grow." Applejack said word for word. Fallowed by Fluttershy.

"Animals care for themselves." I could believe what I was seeing. It was like deja vu but I know I have seen this before. Lastly Rainbow dash landed and spoke.

"And the Clouds moves." There was no doubt about it I knew where I was. But I couldn't believe I was here of all places. Finally Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash all said in unison.

"All on their own." With that being said I knew I was the word of My Little pony.

Panic and worry

I took deep breaths as I looked at the six ponies before me. It like that one episode one I saw years ago. I can't believe that I was in a kids show. Not only that but this version was different after all this is a furries dream. The very anthropomorphic and had some technology that is similar to ours. But with all those this implies that there is a multiverse.

But if that is true then my chances of getting home has gotten worse. I had all but almost given up hope. After all I don't know where this discord is and what's stopping him from fucking up and spending somewhere else. Hell I could end up in the walking dead or fucking halo. My heart dropped as a cold feeling surrounded my body. I haven't felt that feeling ever since...

My mind flashed back to that awful night. The night I lost the one person I believed would care if I have disappeared. I tried to get rid the feeling to go back to the memories I have of better days. It worked almost but a small portion of that feeling remained.

"Chaz? Are you okay?" The voice of Twilight sparkle said next to me. I turn and noticed her standing there looking at me with concern.

"Yeah I'm fine Twilight just bad memories." I say as that cold feeling moved to my arms. Filling my hands to the face I rub my face. "I'm going outside for minute." I say standing up and heading to the front door.

"Chazy! No! That evil witch Zecora will mind control you." Pinkie rushed to me holding me from behind. Her chest pressed against my back as she held on to me for deal life.

"Pinkie I don't know why you think that of her but it's a little racist." I say breaking out of her grip. "But I have a lot to think about and I'm just going to let this play out." I say walking out side and fucking running to Twilights house. I didn't look back to see if the girls followed but I didn't care. After all this place shouldn't exist. Or maybe this proves that multiverse theory is real.

Or I'm in a coma and this is my brain trying to comprehend death. Either way I am losing my shit and fast. My legs burned as I ran fast. The streets where empty which made running through the town easy. Finally I nade it to Twilights house and knowing its empty I rush inside and head to the bathroom. I must test if I'm dreaming or really in a child's Tv show.

No wait I am not dreaming. This feels to real to be a dream. I can't lose my cool now there still that discord person. But what if he's dead or imprisoned.

*Knocking*

"Hey Chaz? You okay in there dude?" The familiar voice of spike rang out pulling out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, Yeah I'm good spike." I knew I had to find answer and I can't wait until Princess Celestia shows up. "Hey spike is Twilight home? I need to talk to her." I asked as I opened the door to the outside of the bathroom. Spike was up to my chest and for a 13 year old dragon he's pretty short. But for a human he might get bigger.

"No she went off to go find Zecora. Why do you need something?" Spiked asked as I put away my pocket knife my tactical blade still in its sheath. The latter was fastened to my belt making it easy to access.

"Yeah I need her help to get to Princess Celestia, Its important." I say trying to sound not to worried about my predicament. Spike seemed to buy my 'relaxed' state. That's when we heard the front door open and close. Walking passed Spike and down stairs to the living room of the library I find twilight in the kitchen.

"Oh hi Chaz, Did think to see you here." She said and well I'm not surprised as I have been sleeping outside ever since I got out of the hospital. Both the first and second time I was in the hospital.

"Twilight can you help me get to Princess Celestia? I have to talk to her its regent." I asked my more 'relaxed' act falling only for a little. Twilight turn to face as she seem to be preparing a salad.

"What's so regent you have to see her now instead of waiting?" I looked around as I have no idea how to explain what I know. Especially since I'm in the anthro world. Hell the normal world isn't save for the internet either.

"Well... I just... want to go home." I pause as Twilight raises and eye brow. "Yeah, I'm getting home sick and want to see if I can get there sooner." I don't think she believes me but she then wrote something on a piece of paper and had spike send it to the princess.

"Here is a enough pits to get you on the train to Canterlot and back." She handed me a bag a pits.

"No I could walk." I say going to hand it back but she kept it in my hands with her magic.

"Your not walking there Chaz, Now go the last train leaves at 8." She says as I noticed it would be 7:30. And not wanting to miss my only chance to get to Canterlot. Running out of the tree library I ran for the train station. Lucking for me I made it for the train with at least 15 minutes to spare.

The train guy got my ticket and I was able to get on and head for Canterlot. Of course I got a lot of weird looks as quite whispering able how theres a strange creature on the train. But I can care less about that what I really cared about was how I smelled. I couldn't tell really but I must smell awful.

I mean I only have the clothes on my back. I am surprised that the ponies didn't open a widow or leave me in other train cart. It was weird and also making me nervous. I mean if I smell awful in front of princess Celestia then I am not setting a good example for humans.

Either way I have to know if she could send me home. Because an older brother has a job to do.

Trustworthy

As the train stopped at what looked like a capital city I knew this had to be Canterlot. The voice over the trains intercom confirmed this. Hopefully Twilight sent a letter to Celestia about my visit. If not well tuff luck.

As I step out of the train I instantly feel the burn of many eyes on my. And not the 'what are you' type. More of the 'WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!!' But I could care less about what this snobbish ponies think. All I am here for is a way home.

I saw the castle and I will assume that's where Celestia is. Wait I have seen the show well some of the show. I think on what I know about the show. And well I never got into it. But I believe that this is the castle of Canterlot.

If not then I'm fucked. As I walked my steal toe boots clanging against the stone road. That was when I arrived at the gates of the castle. Two Guards in gold armor blocked my way.

"I Have business with the princess." I say knowing that it might not get me throught.

"And what business is that, Freak?" One of the guards asked giving me a dirty look.

"The princess should have gotten a letter from her student. Telling her of my arrival." I say as I look at them. Both rolled their eyes obvious that they didn't believe me. But that was when the doors behind them opened.

"Let him in. I need to speak with him." A soft caring voice said and looking at the source I saw her. Princess Celestia herself standing tall as she gave me a blank look. I knew that look it was one of no nonsense. She wanted me to speak the point of why I am here and fast. Passing the two guards I walk up to Celestia.

"Thanks, may we talk somewhere more private?" I asked as I looked up to her. Sure I was taller than most ponys here. But she was at least a head taller than me.

Celestia simply nodded and walked into the castle. That was my signal to fallow as I don't want to deal with guard ponies.

"I'm guessing that you got Twilights letter about my arrival." I say walking behind her the sound of her hooves and my steal toe boats clanging on the marble floor.

"Indeed I have." Celestia said plainly as we continued to walk. I knew form this that she didn't trust me of humans. After all she is cold and you only do that if someone is untrustworthy. We passed many castle staff and guards. Most seem to be scared shitless by me.

Finally we made it to what seems to be a private study. Two guards where stationed at the door and gave me dirty looks. I ignored them and followed Celestia inside.

"Let me get one thing straight human I don't trust you." Celestia said a scowl on her face. I was takin aback by this only for a moment.

"Yeah I thought as much." I said nonchalantly as I took a seat look at her. Now it was her turn to be takin aback. But her scowl return and she continued to speak.

"You humans are mostly savages and very few are good." She said like she was talking from experience. And well I can't say she isn't wrong.

"Let me stop you right there Princess." I say as I looked at her already knowing that she was going to rant about how humans are bad and shit. "All I came here for was if you could send me home and that is it. I'm not here to be lectured about human nature after all I know it on personal level."

I say giving her a dead look in my face. Her eyes widen at how I seem to disregard her words. But by how her face softened she seem to get my point.

"Very well." She said using her magic to levitate a book to her hands. "The process of sending you home is long and delicate one." Those where the word I didn't want to hear but its better than nothing.

"And how long to you estimate the process will be ready?" I asked her as my heart shank a little. She looked at me and seem to be sorry for me.

"Months at best and years at worst." My heart sunk further as I heard this but again it was better than nothing. Her voice snapped me back to reality. "I'm going to need something of your that I can use for this spell." She said I I reached into my pocket pulling out my pocket knife. Licking it open I cut a small clump of my hair.

"Will this work?" I say looking at her with the small clump of hair in my hand. She look both taken aback and surprised that I had weapon.

"Yes that will do." She said levitating a jar and my hair to her. She put my hair into the jar and look back to me. "I will give you room here to stay the night but as soon as sunrise I want you out and back to Ponyvile." I nodded knowing clearly that I had to listen to her because she was my only way home.

I stood and she rang a bell and a butler arrived.

"Take him to the guest room." The butler bowed and signal me to fallow him. I did so and soon enough he opened the door for me. Stepping into the room it was spacious. That door shuts behind me and looking at the bed I couldn't help but dive for it. But I couldn't sleep without music.

Taking off my steel toe boots and then pulled out my phone only at 82 percent. And with that I started to play music.

A few moments later and the song Bullet by Hollywood Undead. The beginning drum started and then the lyrics.

I know weird choice of music to sleep by. But I have fallen asleep by Five Finger Death Punch so this is tame to me. As I drifted into sleep I got the feeling of being watched again.

But somehow I felt like I knew who it was. The since of cold breezes was the give away. But it wasn't the harsh cold of Nightmare Moon. Rather it was calm even though I find both inviting this felt more so. The song continued to play as I dreamt of the lyrics. I was dancing like there was not care of world.

The lyrics were dark in tone but I danced like it was happiest I have been. If someone was watching my dreams they would think me mentally ill. Which is far in all honesty. Soon enough I stopped dreaming but the songs didn't which I didn't mind. But then they stopped which was strange to me.

"Hey Chaz, You good?" My eyes shot opened at the sound of my brothers voice. Looking around at my surroundings I saw that I was in a bar. A bar my brother and family visits in general.

"Yeah... Yeah I'm good Elon." I say my mind not sure if this is a dream or the My little Pony one was. But this felt real, the beer in my hand the seat under me. It all felt right and that me and Elon being here was planned.

"I would die for you little brother." Elon suddenly said as I turned back to face him.

"So would I Elon. Hell I would trade my life for you." I say smiling as I wanted him to know this. But then a something felt off like this was no longer a drink between brothers.

"Heh, But really I died because of you." My eyes went wide as I heard those words leave Elons mouth. The bar was now dead silent as the beer in my froze like I had Cryomacy.

"What- Elon? What are you saying?" I asked sweat dripped from my forhead and froze to the bar counter. Elon then got up and said as clear as day.

"I'm dead, and you did nothing."

BANG BANG BANG

Three gunshots rang out and my brother fell to ground. Blood was everywhere and I couldn't do anything to stop it. I wasn't there to stop the bleeding or take the bullets. But that doesn't stop my mind from tormenting me with these thoughts. What I could have done. I could have taken those bullets or maybe kept him alive long enough for him to get medical attention. I would have given my life away to see him again.

It doesn't help that on the night he was killed I argued with him. I didn't get to tell him how he was the only one that understood. He understood what it was like to wonder about your death and laugh at how fucked up we are. He understood what it's like to feel less than worthless to people. And he understood that I valued my life and the role I have as an older brother.

"BEGONE NIGHTMARE!!" A voice rang out and everything faded to darkness.
