The Elemental Equestrian

Ok, jumping out of bed after being essentially blasted into another world sucks. The moment my feet hit the floor my body gave out like a sack of potatoes being thrown off a roof. Although it seemed with all the adrenaline running through me I wasn't gonna feel it anytime soon.

Gritting my teeth I pushed myself to my hands and knees I feel the nurse place a hand on my left shoulder and support my chest. Talking again I find my voice is starting to clear up.

"Hey..Doc, umm...get on my right, help me out here would ya?" Ugh, my voice is so feminine. It's making my stomach twist with every second.

He doesn't hesitant to do so. Helping me back up on the bed he examines me. After a short period of all of us calming down 'though still shaking' the doctor starts asking questions.

"Ok now, how do you feel? Any pain or discomfort anywhere?" I take a deep breath. After I slowly exhaling I respond.

"I think I'm alright doc but I have questions of my own if you'll let me..." Looking over his shoulder to the others they nod.

"Of course ma'am I be happy to answer any question you ask as well as I can." Closing my eyes I rub my eyes with three fingers as I take another steady breath.

"Ok first off lets start slow. Where am I?"

"That is simple... You are currently in the Crystal Empire on the continent of Eques. This is Crystal General Hospital." I could only stare as he continued. "However I would like your name before we go further. Is that alright miss?" I swallow the excess salvia in my mouth looking him in the eyes.

Crystal Empire?, Eques? Oh god.

"My name before arriving here was ... Ummm. I don't seem to remember right now." I begin to breath deeper, Keeping calm was getting difficult. Between me knowing my gender changed and not knowing my name this was getting bad. "I can't remember almost anything from before and now I'm not sure if I'm crazy and I'm in a strange world of rainbow colored people and...and!" Another shaky breath racks my body causing me to shutter and hunch over. I hold my head in my hands.

A gentle yet firm hand is lay in my left shoulder causing me to look over. Another reaches under my chin. Lifting my head I came face to face with a young woman. Most likely in her mid twenties.

Her face is decorated with a small smile as her arms encircle me. Bringing me into a hug she whispers. "It's okay... it's okay. You'll get through this I'll get help for you."

I could only buried my head in her shoulder I didn't fight her dispite how I felt. Just being held by someone was good enough for me right now. After a few moments I pulled away and after wiping away a tear still in my eye their was something else I needed to get out of the way.

"Is their a mirror around where I can get a good look at myself?" They allowed me to do so and with the nurse' help I was able to look at the person I had changed into. Strangely I recognized the person in front of me.

Katara... I whisper my eyes wide.

"What?" I jump losing my tedious footing at the question falling off Shakey legs onto the hard floor. "Oh my Celestia I'm so sorry!" Having hit my elbow in the fall I groan in recognition of the girls apology. She helped me up dusting me off. "Again I'm so sorry I didn't mean too!~" I stopped her before she embarrassed herself further.

"I'm alright, you just startled me." I say rubbing my elbow. Although I don't think I know your name miss..?"

"Sparkle, Twilight Sparkle." She introduced herself with a bright smile..

"Well it's nice to meet you Miss Sparkle." I extend my hand out to her.

"That would be Princess Twilight Sparkle you, you disrespectful worm!" A voice interrupts from the door to the bathroom. Looking over Twilight's shoulder I saw what seemed to be a guard from how he was wearing. Dark purple and blue armor covered him. Twilight's smile faded quickly as she turned to face him.

"Lieutenant Shock Sheild why are you here, Cadence never said anything about a guard detail?!" I had a bad feeling about this. The Princesses reaction only added to my growing nervousness.

"Princess Twilight, Princess Cadenza asked a squad to volunteer to make sure nothing happened to you nore anyone else in regards to this unknown woman." Princess Twilight only sighed rubbing the bridge of her nose.

"I should have expected Cadence has always been protective. It's my fault for not expecting some sort of protection. Thinking otherwise was foolish of me." Twilight looks at the guard again. "Alright you can stay however you do not do anything without my say so, Understood?"

"Yes Princess, Crystal clearly understood." He saluted and walked out before the princess turned back to me.

"Well as unexpected as that was. I'm sorry you had to see that. I hate to being my status apon the situation, please forgive me." She tilts her head down to me giving me a light bow. Something I wasn't sure about.

"Oh no no no, please Princess I understand you have no reason to-" A single finger finds it's way to silence my lips.

"Now none of that. Please for now just call me Twilight I want you to feel comfortable. Their is no pressure here."

"Well alright, umm Twilight." I gave her a light smile which she quietly returned before we returned to the main room.

"Now unfortunately as much as I'd love to continue with our discussion, I believe it's about time for you to get some rest. Lieutenant you and your men stand guard here and try not to antagonize her.. please."

Walking out of the room I began walking to Starlight's room I hoped that she and Shock Sheild could get along. Even if my hopes are not high. But that's for later right now it time for a reprimand.

Laying in the bed I found something I didn't notice before. It was actually comfortable. Not hard and ridige. This brought a smile to my face. Maybe things weren't so bad.

Arriving at Starlight's room I knocked after a few seconds I was given a small response.

"Come in" I enter to see my pupil sitting on the edge of the bed looking at me.

"Ok Starlight I'll start out simple. What were you thinking when you cane up with that spell?!"

"I don't know what went wrong! I checked and double checked that spell. So did Sunburst. I don't know where I went wrong." Starlight's desperate explanation did not do her any good.

"Well figure out what went wrong because we have a person in the other room that wasn't only brought here against her will but had their gender changed."

Twilight took a breath calming herself just as Cadence had taught her years before.

"Speaking of Sunburst where is he?"

"He left soon after we got here. Said he needed some rest in his own bed. Not that I blame him after today." Twilight sighed rubbing her temple. "Alright listen Doctor dust told me apparently our new individual has some kind of strange magic he hasn't seen before." Starlight's head bolts up to look at her teacher.

"Strange magic? So I...oh Celestia." Starlight put her head in her hands as she slouched over realizing the magnitude of her mistake.

If something went wrong it would be her fault. Starlight wouldn't be able to have her freakout however.

"Princess!" A guard yells bursting into the room. Their has been an incident involving guest, come quickly!" Twilight looked to the panicked guard his eyes wide with a mix of fear and shock. This day just got alot more interesting.

After Twilight left it was just me and these guards though it seemed conversation wasn't really a part of their job description.

"Sooo how is it being a soldier?" He only raised an eyebrow. Nice job brain.

"I'm not a soldier I'm a guard."

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is a soldier goes off to fight in war. A guard stays home and defends the homefront."

"So you guys have soldiers here then?"

"No, neither Equestria nore the Crystal Empire have been at war for over fifteen hundred years so their has been no need for professional soldiers, now will you please shut up with the questions."

"Hey don't blame me I'm just trying to fill the bordom until Twilight comes back."

"I thought I told you it was Princess Twilight." Shield now scowled at me.

"She said that I could call her Twilight before she left." This guy was starting to get on my nerves.

After that comment he then turned his whole body towards me. Marched up and got in my face. "I don't care what she said to you! She is a princess of these lands and as a foreigner you will show your respect." He slammed the butt of his spear down emphasizing his point. We were in each others faces now.

"Exactly she is the princess meaning what she says goes now get out of my face soldier!" I could almost feel the hate seeping off this ass.

Thankfully whatever god was out there was looking down with pity because that was when the nurse decided to walk in.

"What are the two of you doing in here?!" We turn to her. She placed her free hand on her hip. "You are currently in a hospital. Their are more people here than just you I expect you to respect everyone else and be quiet." Her eyes shift between us as we back off. The guard taking his position by the door and myself sitting back down on the bed.

"Now then ma'am I have something for you" She spoke as her horn lit up.

Ummm, Nurse Ruby Art was it?" I said just barely remembering her name.

"Yes, thank you miss but many just call me Nurse Ruby, now then here you are." She said levitating a hospital tray towards me. It looked to be better than I thought. Sliced carrots, mashed potatoes and a small piece of fish. To see something even close to this good in a hospital was very surprising.

Picking up the provided utensils I began to eat the meal finding it to be quite good almost like it was home cooked.

"Yo Shock you want some?" I ask pointing at him with my fork. He just turns his head away in disgust. I shrug not everyone likes fish. After a minute I went to grab the cup of water on the bedside table. Only for the cup to slip out of my hand.

"Shit!" As the cup dropped I tried to catch it only for the water to come flying out into my hand. Silence deafened the room as the water formed a rippling ball in the palm of my hand.

"H-h holy shit..." I breathed out watching the small mass in my hand it seemed mesmerising.

"Get on the floor now!" A spear was pressed against my throat causing me to drop whatever I was doing with the water. The Lieutenant for whatever reason wasn't happy about my development. "Get on the floor Now!" I raised my hands off my lap halfway between the bed and the sharp point of the spear only for the water to fly up and hit the ceiling with a loud splash. I was more concerned with the blade currently in my face I spoke up again.

"Calm down man what the hell is-" was all I got out as I was beared down on by three guards holding me to the floor. Hard steel cuffs with a thick leather mitten were placed on my wrists forcing me to make a tight fist. "Dude what the-" I grunted as one of them forces my head back onto the cold floor. "Rrrrrhh get Off! I yell flipping my head back as hard as I could. I felt a solid crunch as I hit one of them.

My head once more was forced down. This time much harder causing my skull to bounce. The voices around me started fading as my vision faded to black and I found myself in a deep sleep.
