Lost In Equestria
Prologue - A Terrible Nightmare
Load Full StoryNext Chapter10 Clicks North of the Crystal Empire
The land was barren as a wasteland. The blizzard that once raged on was now nothing but a gust of wind, and the icy landscape that was once ground to the land around the Crystal Empire evaporated as the sun bore its heat onto the landscape from the battle that had taken place. Dust blows off the ground and into the sky, and the vast dust clouds cover where the battle occurred. Deep inside the clouds of dirt and debris, three Alicorns fought. Two were unconscious on the ground while the other was approaching his goal, a full-body mirror. He begins to put one of his forehoofs through, about to pass into the mirror, but before he enters, he hears something landing: an Alicorn with a lavender-colored coat of fur.
"Princess Celestia, Princess Luna!" The mare yells to the other two unconscious Alicorns. She turns to the male. Alicorn. "Why?! Why are you doing this?!" She says, fighting back her tears. The male Alicorn stands there, silent. "Please, Tell me!" her voice audibly breaking.
Suddenly, the Stallion flares his wings. "Ah... the one this body calls lover and the supposed princess of friendship..." his voice echoes with a deep, devilish voice. At hearing his voice, the princess, Twilight, remembers all too well.
"N-N... no... it can't be." She shakes a bit in disbelief. "W-W... we defeated you..." she says as her body shakes, "T-There... h-how are you alive?". The Stallion's gruff brown hair flares up, flowing like smoke as the figure turns around almost in slow motion. Red lightning-like crackles come from his pure red eyes, and a translucent glowing red horn protrudes out of the broken horn of the body.
"S-Sombra...! " She stutters, not knowing how he had come back and taken her lover's body.
"Hello, Princess," Sombra said with a toothy grin, his teeth sharp and pointy. "How have you been?" he says in his echoing devilish voice.
The young princess, still in shock of an old foe once beaten, has returned and is using the body of her lover. Princess Celestia speaks up with the last of her consciousness. "R-Run Twilight, h-he's too much for you... get the rest of the... elements of harmony... you must defeat him- RUGH!" She shouts to Twilight when she is interrupted by a dark blue hoof against her cheek, pushing her head down.
"Do you know whenever to shut your mouth, Mare?!" Sombra says to Celestia, pushing her face into the dirt, "If I didn't plan to turn you all into my slaves, I would kill you right here and now." He snarled in Celestia's face. He pressed her face harder to the ground. "I'll say I like that younger sister of yours," He says to Celestia, giving her a toothy grin, "Maybe when I conquer the other world and bring my army through, I'll make that sister of yours my Special. Little. Pet~." giving a devilish grin to the princess under his Hoof.
"I-If you lay a single hoof on her... so help me, Sombra, I will-!" Celestia barked at Sombra before being cut off by him, pushing her face harder against the ground.
"What was that? I couldn't hear you under my Hoof!" Sombra said, cackling at her helplessness. "The mighty Celestia, a princess who once opposed and defeated me, is now reduced to a mare under my Hoof." Cackling once more. "Say goodnight, Princess." He says as he rears his forehoof back, ready to knock Celestia out cold again. When suddenly, he is tackled by a purple streak, a very pissed princess, and lover.
Twilight speeds them into a mountainside, clouding everything with dirt, dust, and debris. Twilight snorted like a bull on all fours, ready to attack again. Soon, the shadow of his form begins to come into view. "T-Twilight?" She hears a different voice say, causing her to gasp as the Stallion comes into view. Twilight slows down to a halt, seeing her lover normal again with a trail of blood going down his muzzle. Tearfully, she hugs him, happy to see him ok. "I'm glad you're alright. We can get you to a hospital and fix you up," she says in the hug as he cuts her off.
"Thank... you..." The Stallion says, struggling to stay up in the hug.
"Anything for you-" She is cut off by a hoof to the face into the ground.
"Thank you for being so stupid!" Sombra shouted as he slammed her into the ground with a forehoof. He then kicks her over to the edge of the dent she made in the mountainside. Twilight scrambles to her hoofs quickly, now more angered than before. "Go ahead, hit me," Sombra mused, "you're only hurting your poor, poor lover," he said in a mocking, sappy tone, "No matter what you do to this body, my soul will continue to remain inside it, even if you kill his body I can still puppet it. It took you too long to notice something was wrong with your lover, and now his body is mine." Sombra cackles at Twilights dispare.
Twilight backs up in fear, not wanting to kill her lover in case there is a way to save him. Her hind hoof slips on the edge of the cliffside for a second. "Gah!" she yelps before she pulls it back up. She glares back to Sombra.
"Go ahead, high tail, and run to your little elements of harmony; they won't save you." Sombra sneered at Twilight. "I'll give you a headstart," Sombra says, feeling slightly generous. "I'll give you 5 seconds to run," he says with a devilish grin. Twilight glares daggers at Sombra as a bead of sweat slowly slides down the side of her head. "5..." Sombra begins to count to her doom. Twilight hunches down, ready to do anything. "4..." Sombra continues his countdown. Twilight looked frantically from side to side for anything she could do. "3..." Sombra said as he got into a prepared stance to launch at her.
Twilight then shoots off away from Sombra. "I'm sorry, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!" She thought to herself with tears in her eyes.
"2..." Sombra said as his muscles tensed up, ready to launch. Twilight flew as fast as she could, trying to get back to Ponyville to get the others. Then suddenly, she felt her blood run cold as she heard a soft, venomous whisper in her ear. "1..." Sombra whispered, the venom apparent in his voice.
Time felt like it was coming at a snail's pace for Twilight as she slowly turned in the air, seeing Sumbra's forehoof coming at her face, unable to move away or block in time, when suddenly...
Deep inside the Everfree Forest, a dark blue pegasus lies unconscious on the ground. He stirs in his sleep and seems to be having a nightmare or a night terror. He groans and grunts as he fidgets in his sleep. "Rrr..." he mumbled in his sleep, "n...no..." his mumblings continued, "s...sto..." the Stallion's words slurred, "sto-ah... stop... Stop it...!" He mumbled louder. His eyes snapped open, and he jolted upwards, shouting, "STOP IT..!!" The Stallion's voice echoed through the sky and the forest, some birds nearby flying away, startled by the sudden noise.
"Hah... hah... hah..." panting in a cold sweat, he puts a hand to his chest. Though it doesn't feel like a hand, he slowly raises his arm. "Holy fuck, what happened to my arm??" staring at his once arm and hand, now a leg covered in dark blue fur. The Stallion looked at the rest of his body. "Hah-! What happened to my legs?! My face! I Have A Snout Now?!" panic started to creep in; he felt something move behind him, looking back. "A Tail?! Hah...hah...hah...Hah...HAH... WHAT'S HAPPEN TO ME!!!!!" The young Stallion yells at the top of his lungs to the sky, setting off more flocks of birds close by.
He begins to breathe to calm down. "Ok... ok... This... this must be some fucking weird ass dream, or did I get high and this is some weird ass trip." the Stallion told himself, calming down, "Just... got to shut my eyes, and I'll be back in bed like nothing happened..." saying as he shuts his eyes. "1... 2... 3..." counting up to 3 to wake up, only to open his eyes to see he is still in the same spot. "WhatTheFuck? This is not my bedroom brain." The Stallion begins slapping his head after. "Come-ow-On-ow. You-ow-Stupid-ow-Brain-ow," scolding his brain for what he thinks is his brain fucking up. "Wake-ow-Up-ow." hitting oneself with one's Hoof is not the brightest idea. "Ow! Fuck that hurt... So if I'm able to feel pain means this is either a weird ass drug trip, a very vivid dream, or... this is... real." The Stallion said as he began looking around at his surroundings.
"Where the hell even am I right now?" questioned no one but himself as he surveyed the area around him. The forest around him was bright and green; flora flourished and bloomed, trees full and green. "Ok, Eaven, you're somewhere in the middle of butt fuck nowhere..." he talks to himself, trying to figure out what to do next. Suddenly, some rustling happens in nearby bushes, causing him to look at them with fear, knowing very well it doesn't know what could be lurking here—more rustling in the bushes behind him. "Er-!" jerking himself to look behind him, rustling to the right of him. "ER-!" turning his body jerking to look that way, panic starting to boil again, then... silence. Shaking and quivering, he sat on the ground, staring toward the last noise he heard. Nothing comes out or makes a peep; his ears turned back, and flat anxiety and stress are still high but low enough for him to think without the fear factor in the way of it, "O-o-ok... I-I-I think that's m-m-my cue to s-s-skedaddle on out of h-h-here..." saying to himself, putting his forehooves onto the ground to boost himself up onto his hind hooves, but now being in a body made for being on all fours he loses balance falling backward and hitting a tree behind him, "Wo-o-oah!!!" a loud thud could be heard then Eaven groaning in pain, "ah... fuck that hurt." he says rubbing the back of his head.
Eaven pushes himself up again, losing balance as he tresses against the tree to keep upright. "Maybe I can stay stable with the tree..." he says, looking down at his hind legs and seeing them shaking like jelly. Taking slow steps forward while pressing against the tree, he hit his head a moment ago on, "O-ok... nice and easy, nice and easy..." as he took slow, shaky steps, he took heavy, deep breaths to calm himself. Gently, he pushes himself off the tree, almost falling over again but somehow maintaining balance, "Yeah! Got it!" holding a forehoof in the air like he is making a peace sign and putting the other forehoof to his hip, "Now onwards!" he says pointing the forehoof that was pointing to the air, straight forward in front of him. He puts his left hind Hoof out to take a step, immediately missing the step and falling flat on his face.
A pair of bright, glowing eyes could be seen a ways off as he fell. They vanished with a faint rustling of bushes as Eaven pulled his face up from the dirt. "Ow, much?" he said in a monotoned voice, wiping his face off as he lay on the ground. "Guess I'm learning how to walk on all fours. Ugh!" He let out an irritated sigh and began to push himself up onto all four of his hooves; his legs shook like crazy, as it was a strange feeling to him to be on all four feet. Lifting one Hoof up and slowly and shakily putting it one step forward, he continues very slowly with the others, trying to get a rhythm of it; the first try ends with him slipping on the wet soil and falling on his underbelly. "MMPH!" grunting out painfully, "Ah fuck, that hurt a bit," he groaned in pain, trying to push himself back up onto his hooves. "Fuck!" He yelped in pain, putting his forehooves to the side of his abdomen in severe pain. "ha...ha...ha..." panting heavily as he looked to where he fell and saw a rock sticking from the ground, "ha...ha...ah fuck...ha...I might've...ha...cracked...ha...a rib..." still panting heavily, he looks to his abdomen seeing a purple bruise spot starting to grow more prominent in the area of where the pain was at. "looks...like I'm going... to be here...awhile..." He says, through pained breaths, falling to his back, his wings spread out against the ground, exhaustion taking over him, and lying there.
8 hours later
The moon has risen as the sound of wolves howling startles Eaven awake. "AH- ah fuck!" he says, gripping his side where the pain is, looking back down at his bruise area where his broken rib is, then to the hooves, "Ah... I thought it was a dream... I really am stuck wherever I am..." looking to the sky as he says that last bit. "The sky... looks beautiful tonight..." looking to the stars twinkle in the sky, "but that..." looking at the moon, "is new.". The moon has what appears to be a unicorn-like figure shaped onto its surface. Eaven stares at it as he lies there when the sudden sound of a wolf howling breaks his trance, panic and anxiety hitting him like a freight train as he realizes his situation. "Great... Just fan fucking tastic; I'm injured badly in the middle of the woods at night with wild animals around. Could this situation get any worse?!" almost as if on cue, a pair of glowing eyes appear at the edge of what Eaven could see, though these having a more green hue than the last ones. "Oh, that ain't normal.-" As he said that, he slapped a hoof to his face, "Fucking of course that ain't normal me, I'm in another world in a body of a Fucking pony," he shouted at himself, only causing two more pairs of eyes to appear on the right and left of the original pair. "Oh, this ain't good..." he began to try and drag himself backward when the pain of his broken rib kicked in again. "FUCK!".
As if the eyes were surveying the area, that last shout ultimately got their attention on him. A low guttural and primal growl came from the first pair as it walked towards him, and the other two followed behind. "Giant wolves?! Fucking Great, Whatelse wants to come fuck me over?!" He said, agitated, "Stay away." shouting at the massive wolves approaching him, flinging a rock the best he could without fingers. Eaven keeps trying to push through the pain in his abdomen, pulling himself away from the massive beasts, the pain soon becoming too much for his adrenaline to keep down. "FUCK! Fucking Stay away from me...hah... GET AWAY!" but the wolves only continued to get closer, the one that seemed to be the leader only a few feet away. "P-please no!" He lifted a forehoof to stop the beast as it readied its claws to swipe. "N-NO-!"
The claws came down on his foreleg, leaving a massive gash of a claw mark on it. "AGH!!!" tears begin to well up in his eyes, looking back only for another claw to swipe at his face, sending him into a tree and almost taking out one of his eyes."Ah-aH!!" his voice cracked as he saw his doom coming closer, something under his hair began sparking. "N-N-NO! STAY AWAY!!" a bubble of magic forms around him as the creature approaches him. "I SAID STAY BACK!!!" his shout echoed as the magic burst from his body, destroying the leader, turning into nothing but logs and sticks, "h-ah...ha-h... hah..." Panting heavily, he goes limp as he has lost too much blood to move his body away. Seeing their leader fall, the other two decided to take revenge and complete what their leader started, approaching the dark blue Stallion. All he could do was lay there and watch his demise approach slowly; the only part of him shaking was his eyes in terror as his tears slowly fell down his muzzle. 'Is this really where my life ends...? After everything I've been through...? All this time, I've been trying to get home...This is how my life goes out?" Eaven asks in his head. Slowly, his eyelids begin to close as tiredness tugs at him.
Suddenly, a figure jumps between Eaven and the giant beasts, splashing something on the massive wolves, sending them running off as if whatever the cloaked figure splashed on the two beasts smelled terrible.
It looked like the figure said something, but Eaven didn't hear or understand it. Tiredness finally took him into the world of sleep, and he fell unconscious.
