Waking Up 1
I wake up to darkness… The cold unforgiving darkness. I open my eyes and look up and see the moon. On the moon there's a unicorn. It takes me a minute but I start to see distortions like the moon is moving. No wait, I look closer and see it looks like the underside of waves. I start to ponder ‘Am I under water?’While I ponder, I start to hear a very muffled voice in my head saying (“swim”) over and over. After a second I start to swim to the surface. I feel my legs kicking with way more force than I'm used to. Moving in New ways I am not used to. I start to go look at my legs. Then suddenly think, 'That can wait, I need to get out of the water.’ When I get near the surface I have the sudden urge to go back and that it’s not right for me to leave. Like the water is calling me. And The bottom is pulling me towards it. I look down and see chains. I start to give in and start to sink again and let the chains pull me, but I hear screaming and someone begging for me to swim. So I start to swim again with renewed vigor and when I'm nearing the surface hear something like chains snapping. When I break the surface of the water, I cough up lots of water, hopefully emptying my lungs.
‘Ugh, what happened the last thing I remember, I was sleeping in my bed.’
I look around and see that I'm in the middle of the ocean.
‘While this isn't good’ I then notice I'm not swimming and I'm floating on the water. Like a fishing bobber. I try to stand up and fall on my face and spit more water out of my mouth. ‘Wow wasn't ready for that’ I lay there a while until I felt that I could get up Without coughing up a lung.
“Why can't I stand?”
I look down at my arms and see polls. And to see that my hands were gone. in their place are hooves. ‘Where are my hands?’ I started to freak out and I quickly looked down to my legs to see I also lost my feet. ‘Where are my feet?’ When I take a closer look my feet and arms have a red stripe starting at the end and going up about four inches. With gray fur going farther up. I start to think that my feet/hands look like hooves at this point and think. ‘I'm I a horse?’
(“Hey”) ([“we got the flooding under control captain”])
“What do you mean you got all of the flooding under control? Wait, who are you? Where are you?” I look left and right and see nobody.
(“Hey”) ([“I'm part of your crew captain.”])
“What do you mean part of your crew? How can I have a crew?”
(“Hey”) ([“your part ship, captain.”])
What do you mean I'm a ship? I don't look like a ship. I look like a pony and I also still have memories of a life before this. I had a family, A job, I was born, not built, The last thing I remember was being in my bed at home.
(“Hey”) ([“i will show you then. Look at your back, on your deck.”}) *POP*
“I look at my back and see a very small pony on the deck. Ok maybe I am a ship or at least part ship even though that's hard to believe.” Pain shoots through my head. I get rushed with memories. “Ugg…” ‘I remember being built in Quincy, Massachusetts, And going to the war… These are not my memories. These are the Lexington the aircraft carriers memories.’
(“Hey”) ([“Are you ok captain?”])
“I'm ok, just some memories. Umm damage report.”
(“Hey Hey”) ([“all of the main generators for the power are flooded and damaged from the water. so we can’t use the elevators or radar. Right now all the emergency generators are being used to keep you awake and alert. We also have one of the hangar bays, the one near the elevator flooded. That's not to mention the two flooded turbines that are flooded so we can go only at half speed.”])
Thats bad when do you think the four main Generators will be fixed?
(“Hey”) ([“in about five ours or at about 6:00 am captain.”])
“Just uhhh...” ‘What should take priority?’ ‘should it be the flooded hanger bay, the generator, or the two floodid steam turbines… I think it should be the generator. I need the elevator and radar working so if I get attacked I'll be able to retaliate. Without the elevator I'm defenseless and my secondaries won't do much with their range. the hangar bay second because that hangar bay has half my torpedo bombers and two thirds of my fighters.’
“focus on the generator and flooded hangar bay.”
The little crew member salutes and disappears with a pop.
Wait what? Why did I say that? Why did it feel so natural? What's a radar? I start to panic again when exhaustion hits me like a torpedo. I layed down and passed out hopefully getting rest for the night. When I wake up it's about 7:00 am “man I had the weirdest dream I was a pony on the sea, yhawn, and I had my own crew…”
(“Hey”) ([“morning captain.”])
‘wait that wasn't a dream’ “uhh… Morning, how's the damage?”
(“Hey Hey Hey”) ([“the damage was minimal and we were able to fix the generator which took a bit longer than expected but they are almost fixed. About another 15 minutes until the main generators are fixed.”])
“Glad that the generators are almost fixed. How is the progress with the flooding going?”
(“Hey”) ([“So the hangar bay is almost unflooded. It needs another hour until the waters are gone and another 2 before it's safe to enter.”])
“Oh the flooding in the hangar bay is almost gone?” I look down and see that the water has gone lower on my side. I try to stand on my hooves, The water line is only going a little past the halfway point on my legs now. It means I will be able to go soon.
“I'm going to head west.” I waited about 20 minutes, until my EO gave me the all clear. I start a slow trot going 20 mph slow because two of my steam turbines are damaged from flooding. About 3 hours later…
(“Heey”) ([“Uh... Your not going to like this captain”])
What do you mean I'm not going to like this?...
(“Hey…”) ([“You'll have to see for yourself to understand captain. I'll bring it to the deck.”])
“what do you mean it's best if I see for myself?” right now I'm very confused why my EO (executive officer) is talking like he's very uncomfortable with the topic. He's acting like I'm going to punish him for something.
*POP* I stop and look over my shoulder to see my EO holding his hat to his pony chest. With a worried look on his face. Looking down at the deck's elevator.
I see my elevator going down. After a moment the elevator comes back up with a foal on it curled into a ball on it. This foal is bigger than my EO, and has Pegasus wings. With three metal rods sticking out of each of his front two hooves. The metal rods would be facing the ground if the goal was standing. The bottom of His hooves are a rubber color. While the fur going from his hooves to his stomach is a light blue. While the rest of his fur is a dark Navy blue with a metal shine. The foal is shivering and is soaked.
I stood there shocked.
(“Hey”) ([“I think he's your foal captain.”])
I stand there not fully processing what my EO said.
(“Hey”) ([“That's what I think captain. I mean he's a plane that has turned into a pegasus foal.
“Are all my planes like this in that hanger?” I ask, a little panicked. ‘I don't feel like I'm able to take care of that many foals.’
(“Hey”) ([“No just this one captain.”])
“Ok then why is this plane a foal?”
(“Hey”) ([“I really don't know captain…”])
“What do you mean you don't know? Is he at least ok?”
(“Hey”)
“Then get him to a repair bay. Is there anything else that's out of the ordinary from my flooded hangar bay?”
(“Hey”) ([“captain there's tiny tims and mini rockets in the hangar bay that was flooded.”])
“What do you mean there's rockets in my hangar bay? I don't hold rockets.”
(“Hey”) ([the rockets are damaged from the flooding. There's a chances of them exploding, our Transfer officer (TO) with the Safety observer (SO) are going to take them apart and see what we can salvage])
“Well make sure they don't explode while you're taking them apart. Hey, since the elevators are working do you think we can send some planes out to look for land?”
(“Hey”) ([“yes i'll send a fighter group up for you to scout.”])
I start to trot again heading east. on my deck Fighters with folded wings come from the elevator and go to the back of my deck one at a time. Eventually there's three fighters on my deck. My crew unfolds my fighter's wings getting them ready for take off. I look over my shoulder. “Hey, can we get another two fighter groups up here to do defense. For all we know we can be in hostel waters." After I said that another six aircraft come up my elevator and go to the back of my deck. Once I give the order the six fighter planes take off and start to climb to circle me. [They will do so for seven hours.] Once they get to sufficient height in their climb a bright flash consumes the mini planes. Once the flash is gone the planes look like they grew in size to their proper sizes. After about thirty minutes of trotting west I start to wonder why my scouts haven't taken off yet.
“Why haven't my scouts taken off yet?”
(“Hey”) ([“captain you haven't told them to… Also you haven't set the perimeters for their mission/scout.”])
“Oh that's why they haven't taken off. Well can they head west and look for land then head back to me to land and refuel. Don't risk combat, avoid it the best you can but if you have to fight then fight. After I'm done saying that the planes take off from my deck heading the same direction I was heading.”
About 2 hours later with the scout planes…
Back with me/I
I'm trotting west. Humming Discord's Lament, singing it in my head. When I hear my EO
(“Hey”) ([“captain we have repaired the foal and he just awoke and he wants to see you”])
“The foal is awake? Well bring him up.” ‘I'm Excited to meet the foal but also very nervous. I've never had a kid before but I have had brothers and sisters now that I'm thinking about it. A question comes to mind a very important question. Am I still male?’ I look down and see yes I'm still male. I start to think about names for the foal while I'm waiting. After about another minute the elevator is coming up. I look at my elevator to see my foal on it. “Hi little one” I say with a smile trying to be approachable. “Hi Dad, what happened to you? You look different. You have completely changed. I mean you used to walk on two legs. And you didn't have a muzzle. Then again I have changed to I didn't look like this before. I also wasn't able to move on my own like this.” he says with an Excited expression on his face. While he was talking he was constantly moving like he wasn't able to stay still.
“What do you mean? You have seen me before I was changed.” I say with a confused look.
You don't recognize me? it's me bare bare. Remember your friend. from when you were a baby. Your mom gave me to you to help you through your nightmares.
I stood there shocked by the sheer fact that. not only have I been sucked into wherever this is and changed into a pony. But my stuffed toy I used to sleep with has become a foal or colt to be more exact. But the fact that my toy has come along for the ride. To wherever this is. I stood there for a while. After about a minute a thought came to mind. That made this craziness of the past day a little better. And took a bit of weight off my shoulders. At least I have a friend in all of this craziness. “Hey bare bare I'm going to change your name to make it easier to say how about BB? Short for bare bare.”
“That can work. Do you know what I have turned into?” Says BB with a curious look.
I take a closer look at BB and see that he looks a lot like the fighters I launched earlier. “I think you have turned into a hellcat fighter. hey EO what do you think?”
“Hey dad, what's your name? I can't seem to be able to remember it. Whenever I think of it it comes back blank.”
I tried to think about what my name was but nothing came back. when I thought of when my mom called for me to do the trash. The name is simply not there in the memory. I know my mom called my name but my name is simply not there, just silence in its place. “My name my name is.” a name came to mind “Fox Spirit.” I started to trot again hoping that my scout planes found some land or civilization. 1 hour and 30 minutes later I look up to see my scouts returning to me when they get close and a bright light envelopes them. Turning them back into very small planes. I slowed down a bit so they could land. Watching them land is the coolest thing. Once they land they go back into the hanger to report their findings.
(“Hey”) ([“the planes came back and theres land west of here keep going this way and you'll be at land by morning.”])
“How come you're not on my deck are you in my mind?”
(“Hey”) ([“I can talk to you on the command deck, sir.”])
“Can you talk to me this way for now on, and please call me Fox. how's the reapers on the turbines doing?”
(“Hey”) ([“we managed to fix one by taking parts from the other but that other we can't fix without a resupply.”])
As soon as my EO says resupply my stomach growls. “Does eating resupply my stuff?”
(“Hey”) ([“yes”])
‘That makes no sense then again everything now doesn't make sense.’ I shake my head back and forth and continue trotting east.
I finally got to the land. I waited for the rest of my planes to land and got on the shore. I followed the shore to the city. While on the shore my deck didn't disappear, it was still on my back. ‘Huh, I thought that my deck would disappear. I also expected pain from going on land, Because of me being part ship. Now that I'm thinking about being part aircraft carrier. Reminds me of a couple games I used to play carrier command 2 and aircraft carrier survival. Was fun to play lots of strategy.’
When I got to the city, it was covered in fog and no pony was around. The buildings were destroyed and in a terrible condition falling apart and crumbling from time. The air filled with the smell of gunpowder and iron. I trot Forward hoping to find out what happened here and hopefully find someone to talk to.
“EO see anything on the radar… this place is giving me the creeps, what do you think EO?”
(“Hey”) ([“This place is giving me the creeps too. nothing on the radar yet.”])
I continue walking forward and make my way to the biggest building in the city. When I entered the building it turned out to be the mayor's office. I go to the back of the mayor’s office to see what's happened to this city. and hopefully find out what happened in the city records. Should give me the last event of the city. I find a file cabinet and I go through the files to the most recent file. Once I have the file I see something shining at the bottom of the file cabinet. I removed all the other files to find, four gold bars, a steel bar, and a bar of copper. I check the rest of the cabinets and find six bars of aluminum.
‘I hope these will be useful.’
I brought that file and all of the bars of metals to a table out front and opened the file to see that the City was celebrating the Sea Festival. The sea Festival was in the year 200 after Nightmare Moon. “hey EO it says here that they were doing something near the docks outside. they were also doing something in a shopping district that's all the paper has. At least that's somewhere to start, right EO.”
‘I don't know why but it felt like my EO gave me a nod…’ with a shake of my head to get rid of the weirdness of that feeling. With that shake I get back to business. with the two bits of information the paper has that might be important. I grab the paper and set the paper and bars on my deck. Hopefully my EO will be able to copy this paper or store it in a hangar bay.
“Hey EO can you copy that down or store that paper and the bars of metals somehow?”
(“Hey”) ([“Yes sir I can copy the paper. It will take a minute to store the metals.”])
With that said I go back outside to see if I can find anything else in the shopping district. When I get to the shopping district I see a couple stalls with rotting food and broken merchandise. The Stalls look like they've been there for years. I went up to the most destroyed stall and in front of the stall were masks. I see The mask with the most detail was in front of the stall on the floor. The mask is a dark mask with red carvings on it. The carvings are triangles facing towards the center of the Mask almost glowing and pulsing with their color of red on the black of the Mask.
“Hey EO can you please send a plane to see this place a little higher up. Hopefully we can get something from a different point of view.”
(“Hey.”) ([“Yes I can do that Fox.”])
A fighter airplane goes up onto my deck and takes off and looks at the city from above. After about 10 minutes my plane then lands after circling around a couple times in its tiny form. Once the fighter lands I get the information on how the city looks. or at least the shopping district looks like it was bombed and there's many craters that are hard to tell thro the fog. I look closer at the ground to see if that report is correct. On the ground there's many small little craters. I walk up to one of the craters and look inside and see a little brass casing at the bottom. blood surrounded the crater. I looked up and looked at the other craters to see that most of them had blood near or around the craters. I go back to the crater with the shell and look closer at the shell. The casing looked like how one of my plane's bullets would after hitting the ground after being shot. On the casing there's some kind of green blackish liquid oozing from the shell. I pick up the shell to get a better look and when I touch the liquid on the shell. With a “Hisssss” my hoof starts to burn with excruciating pain. I quickly dropped the shell. “oww.” I look at my hoof and see that the red paint is gone and my hoof is moderately bleeding. I cringe when I look at the wound. I'm freaked out from what the liquid did to my coat and hoof that is made of steel, and quickly leave to investigate the docks and to find anything else.
“Something really bad happened here.”
When I get to the docks I see that they are destroyed with burnt wood floating in the water. The edge of the docks leading to the water was covered in red. I went to the edge of the dock to get a better look. When I looked into the water I noticed… that the water near the dock was the same color of liquid from that shell. Little did I know that BB came up on the elevator at that time and was looking over my shoulder hoping to talk with me. In the liquid there were some stark white bones and a pony skull floating, with a green glow to them. I look closer to see the bones move and the pony skull jerks and looks directly at me and screams a blood curdling scream. I quickly aim my secondaries at the monster and fire and keep firing until I can't see it or hear it screaming anymore. Then I quickly back away from the destroyed and burnt dock disturbed. I leave the city to get a bit of a better look and to hopefully get some distance from whatever that thing was.
“That was creepy and disturbing EO. what do you think?”
(“Hey Hey.”) ([“Yeah that was quite something I'm just glad BB wasn't awake. BB was away I think I'm going to go check on him.”]) EO walks to BB's Hangar Bay. EO opens the door to BB hanger bay to see BB curled up into a ball shivering and crying.
“go away!”
([“it's okay BB. would you want to talk to Fox spirit.-”])
“No, leave me alone.” Says BB with his hooves over his face still shivering.
([“Talking to Fox Spirit will help you feel better BB. Come on, let's go and talk to Fox Spirit.”]) says EO with a pleading expression. BB looks over to EO and sees his expression and caves in.
“Ok.” EO brings BB to the elevator.
I look over my shoulder to see the elevator coming up with BB on it shivering. Are you okay BB I asked worried for BB.
“y-yeah I'm f-f-fine," says BB.
‘You're obviously not. your shivering and stuttering.’ Was my concerned thought for BB. with the best gentle face I can manage, I ask. “you want a hug, that place was quite scary. I've heard that hugs can help when you're scared.”
“Yeah”
I grabbed BB off my back and brought him up to my front and gave him a hug with my two front legs for a minute.
“Feeling better?”
“Okay see you later BB.” I grab BB and stick him back onto the elevator and send the elevator down once the elevator is down and BB is back in his hanger Bay I ask EO.
“EO please keep an eye on BB for me and make sure he's ok. I worry for him. If he saw that skeleton move it could have traumatized him.”
(“Hey.”) ([“ok I will.”]) With that said I moved to the middle of the meadow to see if the city was anywhere to be seen. but there was nothing there so the city which was named sea froth was just gone like the wind on the sea. I sat there with wide eyes just staring at where the city was.
'how does a city just disappear, How? Just how? And what happened in that city there was so much blood. But there were no body’s. Where were the body’s? Were they turned into whatever that thing was?' At this point I start to have a panic attack. After about 30 minutes of panicking I calmed down enough to start thinking clearly. EO were leaving. I don't want to be a part of whatever happened here.
(“Hey”) ([“yes Fox, Maybe that's for the best.”]) With that I continue my way inland towards a forest.
When I get to the forest it gives me an unnerving feeling. I continue my way into the forest knowing full well that I won't be able to use my planes here. Hey EO can you have the secondary's ready.
(“Hey”) ([“Yes sir I can have them ready”]) With that said to my EO I head into the forest curious on what I might see and hopefully that I can find people. Well I'm walking through the forest. I asked my EO if there was any other abilities I might possess from being half ship and half pony.
(“Hey”) ([“Yes indeed you do have other abilities I think I think you have the ability to take direct control of your aircraft.-”])
“Cool, it makes my skills in a game I used to play that much more useful. hey EO how's the crew? Are they doing well with all this stuff going on? I haven't been really thinking about them cuz I've been focusing on getting a repair and resupply.”
(“Hey”) ([“Everyone's good we need more food we're starting to ration it the food we have in Supply. You keep going, you're doing good so far. I know you weren't always an aircraft carrier or at least part of an aircraft carrier. You're probably doing better than some pony else.”])
“Yeah Dad you're doing really well under the circumstances you've been given.”
During my walk through the forest my hoof finally stopped bleeding. I'm looking for something to cover it when I come across some runes, a giant castle that's caving into itself. Hey EO doesn't this castle look a lot like the castle of the two sisters from My Little Pony Gen 4?
(“Hey”) ([“Yeah it does look suspiciously like it.”]) That's when all the dots connected for me. Castle of the Two Sisters, Pony body, weird creepy Forest.
“I'm in My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic the show hey EO this is crazy. Also, how did I get to the castle of the Sisters? I was near the ocean and I entered the forest that was close to it. How did I get here? know what I'm not going to think about this. It's the Everfree Forest, it's unnatural in more than one way.
“The show had a sea dragon in a river. I guess I found out how he got there.”
as I headed into the castle of the two sisters. I noticed that there were some berries on bushes nearby. I went over to the bushes and took one and asked.
“hey EO can you please check if these are poisonous” I sent the berries into my hanger for EO to study. While EO was studying the berries I decided that I should explore the castle of the Two Sisters, or at least read some of their Library. to get more information on the history of the world of My Little Pony. Because the show didn't really give that much history. once I entered the castle I saw the elements hanging on that chandelier thing, from the second episode of My Little Pony. I passed by it and headed to the library of the castle to look into the history. once I get there. there's a couple books on history, a couple books on Magic and a few others. There's even a book on Pony Anatomy. ‘wouldn't trust that because of how old it is.’ so I go and sit down on a broken chair that's in the room and start to read about the history. 30 minutes later…
(“Hey”)([“Fox the food you gave us to test if it's poisonous. The food is not poisonous. You can eat it, please do. we desperately need to resupply. even if it's just a little.”])
“Okay EO.”
I put the book on my deck and head outside to pick and eat the berries off of the five bushes that have them with BB. About an hour and 30 minutes later I'm back into the library reading the book again. After reading for about three more hours I finished reading about the history of Equestria. I also tore down one of the ruined castle drapes, and used it for a bandage for my hoof, and for a cloak that will cover my deck so I can be around other ponies, without them running and screaming. I explored around the castle a bit and found a bedroom with a moon on it. 'Must have been Luna's bedroom before the nightmare moon event.' I open the door to see that the room is empty except for a bed. I continued to explore the castle and got to see the armory that was filled with broken and worn armor, 'Nothing usable.' I continued on my way and got to see another room with a sun on it. I went in to see a queen sized bed and a bedside table. They were both decorated with gold. I look to the right and see a bathroom with a broken door. In the bathroom there was a sink and a toilet and a large bath.
“hum, EO, I can see why Luna turned into Nightmaremoon. Luna got nothing while Celestia had everything. If their rooms are evidence enough.” I say with a wave of my hoof.
(“Hey”) ([“maybe it wasn't that bad she could still have a throne.”]) I head to the throne room to only see one throne. (“HEY!”) ([“Oh come on! Seriously!”])
“Well there's the proof.” I say while pointing a hoof at the throne that was covered in gold there wasn't any room for Luna anywhere. “I'm starting to see why Luna snapped.” I said and I was about to continue exploring the castle but it started to get dark. so I decided to sleep in Luna's bedroom. Once I got to Luna's room I slept in her bed that was old and falling apart.
Author's Note
next chapter will take a while has to be edited.
The next day I decided that I wanted to see Ponyville so I got up and left the castle of The Two Sisters and started heading towards Ponyville. I crossed the rope bridge and quickly made my way to the river that was in the show where the main six crossed to get the elements. once I crossed the river and continued on my way towards Ponyville. When I heard howling from Timberwolves in the forest I started to gallop and while turning I saw green eyes jogging towards me. I used my secondaries to fire upon the wolves using heat rounds or H.E. rounds. Relying on my crew to aim and fire the guns. I felt my guns fire. When I looked back I saw wolves exploding and catching fire but they continued to Chase after me, not giving up while being on fire. I tried to count the number of wolves and there were too many to count. and they were starting to catch up, when I got to the edge of the forest. I'm about to break the line of the forest. when a Timberwolves bites on to one of my hind legs and pulls me down to the ground and starts to drag me back into the forest. I quickly aimed my secondaries at the Timberwolves head. I fire my secondary in a boom and blaze of fire. I blew off the Timberwolves head. Killing the Timberwolf instantly and burning my hind leg. I get back onto my Hooves quickly and finally get out of the forest. With my hind leg bleeding badly, and my hoof wound reopened I escaped from the Timberwolves. I look back at the forest and thankfully the Timberwolves are turning around and leaving. I look around me, finally noticing that I'm in an apple orchard. I quickly look around for something that can help close my wound on my leg and hoof when I find nothing. I asked my EO.
“Hey EO is there a way to close up that wound that the timberwolf made?”
(“Hey”) ([“yeah we'll get to repairing it. might take a couple minutes to stop the bleeding. but the wound will still be there. and it will still be easily opened so avoid touching the area.”])
“Thank you EO, I will stay still for a bit so it will make it faster to repair.”
I stand there staring at the wound slowly bleeding. After about a minute the wound stops bleeding. but you can still tell it's there. looks like a scab, very weak scab. I start to walk and thankfully the wound doesn't reopen.
“Okay EO. Where do you think we should go in Ponyville?”
(“Hey”) ([“I think we should stay hidden for now.”])
“Okay then let's go to the mayor's office to buy some land and hopefully build a little base there.” ‘hopefully become a civilian of Ponyville, maybe blend in with the other citizens.’ I'm walking towards a path that goes along the farm that's near a fence when I hear a pony trotting towards me.
“Howdy partner welcome to Sweet Apple Acres, what are you doing around these parts? I quickly look over and see a filly with an orange fur coat with a cutie mark with three apples. I look up to her face and see she has green eyes with white freckles on her face, With blond hair. ‘It's one of the main six!?! I'm pretty sure her name is Applejack. Man I wanted to lay low… Why is she so young? quickly say something. She is starting to give you a worried look.’
“uhh… I just got lost in that Forest over there.” I point towards where I came from “Do you know where Ponyville is? I've been looking for somewhere to settle down. And I heard Ponyville is a peaceful place.”
“Sure partner, just go down that road and it leads all the way to Ponyville.” Applejack looks down at my leg “Hey partner are you alright you seem to be injured?”
“I'm fine, just a scratch.” Applejack comes over and sees the blood going from my hind leg down my leg onto my hoof, leaving a trail of dried blood connecting the two, and the big black burn under all that on my leg. Applejack’s eyes widened.
“Partner you need a hospital-!!”
“-No I'm fine just-.”
“-No you need a hospital sir. you're bleeding badly, I'll help you get there, stay right there, I'll go get a cart, and mom and dad.” she quickly trots off to go get a cart, and her mom and dad.
I quickly start to limp away, careful not to reopen my wound once she gets out of sight. I head towards Ponyville hopefully avoiding going to a hospital. Because my EO told me that the only way for me to heal properly is to take a bath, and Hospitals don't have baths or at least I don't think so.
‘Hope she doesn't take me walking away offensive.’ it's one of my thoughts when I got to Ponyville. I made my way to the mayor's office to buy some land to build an air base on it. Hopefully my EO and crew will be able to build something out of materials I get from resupplies by eating. I was just about to enter the building that has the mayor's office. when a pink pony comes out of nowhere and hits me hard making me go flying about five feet. I end up hitting the ground hard and reopening my wounds. I quickly get up and pull my cloak down to hide my bleeding hind leg. I look left and right to see the pink blur is just gone.
“What was that?”
“I don't know Fox. I don't know.” said BB, I continued my way into the building with the mayor's office slowly with my hind leg bleeding.
‘Man, I really need a bath so I can get repaired.’ I Grit through the pain and ask the receptionist at the front of the office, “if I can talk to the mayor about getting some land to buy and if they accept aluminum as a payment method?”
This made the receptionist's eyes widen and she quickly ran into a room. I just waited there hoping she was getting the mayor. she came back out and came to me and told me.
“Hey, you can see the mayor now she's in her office.”
She points at the door where she just came from, I head into the room. once I open the door.
“Come in, I heard you wanted to buy some land?” came a voice from inside the office. Once I opened the door I saw a mare with gray hair, a light grayish amber coat, a scroll for a cutie mark, And dark blue eyes.
“yes ma'am do you have any land for sale that I can buy? and do you accept aluminum as a payment method?”
“Yes, how much aluminum are we talking about?
I take out the two bars and set it on the desk. the mayor's eyes widened to the point where I didn't think a ponies eyes could get that wide.
“Is this too much?”
“No, this is plenty. this could probably buy half a Ponyville and still have plenty left over.”
She continues staring at the aluminum for a minute with a half lidded stare, so I try to change the conversation back to buying land.
“So I'm looking for a large area of land so I can build a home and business. Do you know where I can find it?”
“Yes, just outside of Ponyville there's an area where there's very few trees. Do you want me to come show you right now? Or would you like for me to show you later?”
“If you can come now that would be great!”
We head outside of Ponyville and she shows me the land which is a very very large area, enough area to fit six aircraft carriers all next to each other.
“yeah this will work, how much aluminum will this cost? And will I be able to buy the air zone over this land?”
“With the air zone here and the land, it will cost around about one eighth of one of those bars.”
“Okay” I take one of the bars and hand it over to the mayor. “You can pay me back for the rest or you can cut the bar whichever works for you.”
“Thank you sir I will pay for the rest of the bar in bits. Later for now I will hold onto the bar. Expect the bits later today.”
She handed me a contract for the land and air zone and I signed it. She then quickly trots off with the bar and contract.
“Okay that was something hey EO what do you think we can build here?”
(“Hey”) ([“I think we can build a small base of operations with a concrete wall going around. plus maybe make the building where we can do any type of business there, this can work even tho it’s very close to the Everfree.])”
“Then let's get started.” so for the rest of the day me and my EO that hopped off my back and hopped into the grass marked up the land. We marked where everything would go with spray paint. that was for some reason in my hanger probably for marking damaged sections of the ship, in fact they used it to Mark the damaged area where the Timberwolf cut my leg. That reminds me I need to get my leg repaired, so once we had the area marked out where hangers would be, and where living quarters for myself and my crew can go if they want to leave. Once we got everything marked out I headed to the mayor's office. Hopefully I can get some bits so I can buy a couple things for building my place, but one of the most important things right now is to buy a bath so I can repair. on my way into Ponyville Applejack ends up running up to me with two other ponies following. it's her Mom, and Dad.
“This is him,” says Applejack, pointing at me with one of her hooves. I look up to see her parents looking at me with worry.
“hi partner my filly here Applejack told me that your leg was injured.”
“Yes sir, my leg got cut open by some Timberwolves. Because of my condition the only way I can heal is through a bath. which I'm pretty sure this Hospital does not have that's why I ran off. because I won't be able to heal at the hospital.”
“how about you come to our home and use our bath.-”
“no no no I don't want to be a bother.”
“I insist”
“I don't want to bother your family.”
“I insist and if you feel like you have to pay us. then you can help around the farm a bit.”
“Okay by the way what's your name sir? My name Is Fox.”
Sure my name is Bright Mac and my wife's name is pear Butter.” After we were done with introductions, me and the Apple family walk to their house where I find that Applejack has already filled a bath with water and has left the room. I get into the bath and once I'm completely in the bath numbers appear above me saying 10 hours 59 minutes and 30 seconds 29 seconds 28 seconds and so on and so forth. I started to hear footsteps outside of the bathroom when Applejack's dad walked in.
“How are you doing? you've been here a little bit?” He looks up and sees the number above my head. “oh, so that number above your head is how long it will be before your healed?”
“ yes sir”
“Okay we'll see you tomorrow downstairs. if you want to do some work once your healed, meet us outside of the house near the apple trees.” applejacks father closes the door and walks off.
“Okay” I try to get some sleep when I close my eyes and open them to myself standing on top of the Lexington aircraft carrier on the deck. I look left and right to see that I'm in a dock with the ship being repaired on the outside by Dock Workers.
“hey EO what's going on?”
(“Hey”) ([Fox this is what we see everyday on your deck. it's nice to see you here would you like for me to show you your room?”])
“Sure EO”
EO takes me into the aircraft carrier and leads me to a room. I open the door and walk inside shutting the door behind me. once the door shut I take a look around the room. there's a bookshelf, a desk with a chair in a reading light, and a bed. I go over the chair and sit down on it and once I sit down on the chair a dark gray screen pops up in front of me. I quickly look down at the screen and it reads upgrade points 6. once the pop-up of six points has disappeared it goes up to the upper left corner of the screen and a new thing pops up that says upgrades. A second one pops up below that and it says carriers. I click on the carriers to see what that's about and see three different types of carriers. There is a carrier that can go on land and has treads, there's a carrier that can go in the sky that has blades on the sides of it like a drone, and the last but not least one is the one that can go in water. There's also a blacked out box With a lock on it. I click on the water one and it shows three different aircraft carriers. there's the one I have currently, there's one that says drone, and then there's the other that says modern. I click out of the tab and click on the sky one and there's two. There's one that says modern, and there's another one above it that says airship. The airship looks like it has balloons tied to the side of the carrier. I click out and check the land one and there's two there's one with Treads, and one with something else and looks like it won't be able to move anywhere. I exit out of the carrier screen. I soon click on the upgrade screen and it opens an upgrade tab for the carrier I'm currently turned into. Now that thought has entered my head I start to think about what this would do to me if I actually changed carriers? like if I got one of the land carriers would that completely change how I look? I shake my head of the thought and quickly look at the upgrades tab. I see upgrades for the AA on my ship. I also saw upgrades for aircraft, and upgrades for the engine, water pumps, and secondaries. I click on the engine and there's an upgrade to nuclear powered which costs 25 points. I click out and look at the rest of the upgrades and see the aircraft upgrade 15 points, AA upgrade 5 Points, water pump upgrade 3 points, secondary upgrade 5 points. I decided to upgrade my secondaries. I click out and leave the screen behind and head out of the aircraft carrier onto the deck. when I get on to the deck there's a green shine that comes from the secondaries on the carrier once it's done it looks like nothing's happened. head back to my room and get some sleep.
Author's Note
sorry for taking soo long. I don't like the points upgrade system but its the best way to go.
