Chapters Bad endings, awesome beginnings
Hey guys.... me again. I know... another story? But to clear anything up. This will not make me cancel my current story. This story Is from a friend that I am going to now continue. It was originally from Smexy Sombra (You should check him out, he is pretty cool) But he gave rights to me as he had hit a dead end or just didn't know where else to go from the spot he had made it to. I will tell you all when the chapters he had made have reached an end and the ones I began start. So now I am done blabbering, enjoy!
Chapter 1: Hoe-lay shit!
"You need to drive FASTER!!" James yelled in my ear as he turned to look out the back window. "FUCK, THEY ARE STILL COMING!"
"YOU'RE NOT HELPING!!" I yelled back as my eyes were locked on the road ahead.
I smash my foot against the gas petal as we sped down a neighborhood road, smashing into trash cans and rotting corpses. The truck we had was basically our own personal tank. This car was a diesel truck, was fairly low to the ground and had a snow plow fixed to the front. The bed of the truck was used to store ammo, food, water, guns and other homely needs (clothes, camping supplies, ETC..) which was all safely protected by two large tarps.
*SPLAAAT ....CRUNCH* Blood splattered all over the front window as well as the side.
"DAMN! That.Is.Nasty." I said as I turned on the window wipers.
"Okay this is getting us nowhere fast and we are running out of gas!" I said, scared shitless and slightly annoyed.
"Well… we could try some frags..." Chris said, finally piping up from the back seat.
"Okay, we only have one case of those… plus a few from the dead military units. That in total is like… what… 12?" I said glancing back to see him and the small box of frags.
He was 6 feet tall and was muscular from all the heavy lifting we had always done before and after the outbreak. He was also covered head to toe in hockey equipment. He had a large machete next to him as his weapon of choice. Under the helmet he wore a bandana covering most of his face, and his eyes were covered by a pair of sun glasses.
"I agree with Deck on this one… we probably shouldn't waste those." James agreed, looking at me to emphasize his point.
Yes, I know my nickname is strange, my real name is Deckard. I looked at him for a moment to give a nod of thanks. He was 6-foot-2 and quite muscular. He was wearing something along the lines of a juggernaut, but a lot less bulky. Every part of his body was covered in plastic sports wear, His face was covered in a welders mask and he carried a 16 pound sledgehammer as his weapon of choice. I was the quick mover of the group so to speak. I was the tallest of the group topping out at 6-foot-5. Like my friends I was muscular but I also had runner's legs. I wore a paintball mask with a bandana over it and a jump suit with snug boots and gloves. While my friends use hammers and machetes, I stick with 'tradition' . I carry a metal baseball bat. Cracks skulls and never gets stuck.
Although I probably should have kept my eyes on the road because as soon as I turned back I had but a fraction of a moment to react.
"HOE-LAY SH-"
Then there was a flash of purple Jello like (No not Gak...) energy while a portal opened... I instantly felt like I was tripping balls....
Perspective Change: Twilight<<<
"TWILIGHT! ARE YOU OKAY!?" Spike yelled in a panic after the resounding back-fire of the trans-dimensional sender and receiver spell.
"Yes, I’m alright… how did that not work! I had every-"*VORP* I was interrupted by a portal much like the one I made not two minutes ago.
"SPIKE! SPIKE! LOOK IT WORKED! IT-"*THUMP ...SCREEEEEEEEECH*
Again interrupted, but this time by a strange metal box with wheels that made a horrid noise. Just then the strange metal box started to move forward rapidly. I bolted towards the door, opened it, then ran out yelling wildly.
"EVERYPONY WATCH OUT!"
*CRASH VROOOOOM* The strange object moved forward with increasing speed until it was moving almost as fast as rainbow dash (On the ground of course).
I jumped out of the way just as it sped by and rammed right into a lamp post, stopping dead. But, to make things stranger, a rather large creature launched out of what appeared to be a window and did a tuck n’ roll like move. It lay on the ground, completely still.
"SPIKE!!!" I yelled with enough force to match Luna's Canterlot voice.
"Y-Yeah T-Twilight?" Said the small shaken up dragon.
"Send a letter to the Princess informing her that we have a BIG problem!" I said with a frantic voice as I wearily approached the fallen creature.
Perspective Change: Deckard<<<
'Oh god. What the fucking fuck.' I thought as I slowly awoke to pain, pain, and surprise surprise! More PAIN.
'Okay, time to recap while my body reboots...' I thought as my body began to regain feeling from the trauma to the... everything..
'I went from driving to screaming to weird purple portal to inside a house and breaking down the front wall to hitting a lamp post to going through the window… seems legit.'
As my body became functional I began to hear two sets of feet coming toward me.
‘Shitshitshitshitshit...... uh.... shit....'
I tried to move anything but my body refused to respond.
'Well this is it. Goodbye friends. And most importantly goodbye pain. I will not miss you...'
I felt something nudge me, so I tried once again to move but couldn't. Then I heard a very concerned sounding voice. It was also very loud in my ringing ears....
"SPIKE! GET FLUTTERSHY! IT'S STILL BREATHING!!!" It shouted.
'Oh tha- wait Spike? Fluttershy? Is this a gang or something... What does she mean "it".... OH GOD! I'm horribly deformed because of the crash aren't I!' I shouted in my head.
About 10 minutes later I was in so much more pain than before but now I could actually move. Sort of.
'Oh god the paaaaaaaaaaaaiiin... make it ssstooop' I groaned in my head as I tried to speak through my pain.
"Aaarrrggghhhh...." I moaned out.
'First damn thing I've said, parents would be pro- oh... ya....'
"Oh my gosh! Your awake!" Said the lady. "Are you okay?"
I managed to pry one eye open to see a....... lavender colored… pony…? It was staring right at my face. Then I had a epiphany...
'MY FRIENDS!?' I forgot the pain and shot up startling the lavender pony.
I slowly stood up, ignoring the pony, and made my way to the now wrecked truck with a shattered window.
"WAIT! Get back here!" The lady yelled.
"My..... friends...." I wheezed through the mask which I completely forgot I had on.
I got to the truck, went to the left side and opened the door. Inside was one of my friends... strapped in with little damage done, from what I could see anyway. With my receding strength I pulled him from the truck onto the pavement.
"What the......" The lady said.
"Help them…. please..." I said looking for Chris.
"Them....? B- Wait... you can talk!?" The lady shouted in a curious tone.
"Yes.... I.... can..." I wheezed confused.
'Where is this lady.... I only see a pony.... fuck it.... where's my other friend...'
I pulled out Chris from the back as he too had minimal damage done to him.
'Why am I the only one ba-' Then I thought for a second as my brain somewhat turned on… 'Windshield.... right....'
After I dragged them out I fell down.
'Pain! Fuck OFF!!!! ....aaaaagghh'
"AAAARGH...!" I bellowed out.
Just then a yellow pony.... flew.... down to me with what looked to be... a.... first aid kit...
"Oh… oh my.. where does it hurt?" Said a gentle caring voice.
"Eh...every....where" I gasped out also searching for the new voice.
I heard a frightened gasp. "EVERYWHERE!?" The no longer gentle voice yelled. "TWILIGHT, WE NEED TO GET THESE CREATURES TO THE HOSPITAL!!!!!"
"Thank... you..." Then I finally blacked out.
Once again... thank Smexy Sombra for the original story. These are the edited chapters. If I get enough requests I could release the chapters he made in a separate story unedited. Seeing how I have them saved. I hope you are all looking forward to the future chapters!

Bad endings, awesome beginnings
I just read a lot of nice comments from all of you. And though I am busy, I thought.... 'What the fuck!' and decided you guys deserve another chapter in between the waiting.
Chapter 2: The pony and the truth
I awoke to one thing.... pain. I groaned as I breathed in and out through my nose.
'Okay... let's make a list...' I thought.
'First... I'm in FUCK loads of pain... AGAIN. Second... I can't move, and third... I've been taken to a hospital w- wait... HOSPITAL!?!?' I slightly began to freak out.
'Don't these people know anything!? Never.... EVER, under any circumstances.... go to a hospital... That's just asking for a walker to...' Then it hit me harder than a windshield.... no wait... that still hurt pretty bad.
'Wait... I didn't see any walkers..... I didn't see anything actually. No blood, no bodies, no shuffling, no cars. Wait, no cars. Maybe I landed in an Amish town or something. Hell... I didn't even see people, only... ponies...? They were so bright... I probably would have hugged it if I wasn't dieing. What was on it's forehead?'
Beeeep.
Beeeep.
Beeeep.
Beeeep.
'Waaaait... Amish don't use tech. Where the hell is that beeping coming from? The power's been cut off for more than 3 damn months!' I thought as I slowly opened my eyes. Barely.
They opened but only one actually saw any thing, the other only saw white. The other eye saw his friends covered in some bandages, mostly around the head and chest. Their masks were removed showing their faces. They both had short dark brown hair, Chris had a small 5 o'clock shadow while James had barely anything aside from some stubble. If their eyes were open you would see Chris' cyan blue eyes and James' apple green eyes. They were both lying on some small beds. I mean these beds were small. Like... elf size.
I then looked around the room we were all in. It was simple to say the least, all it had was a small coach for visitors, heart monitors and a window with the blinds pulled down. I heard two sets of feet, which sounded more like high heels, coming towards the door. I started to panic. All I saw to protect myself was my bandaged hands. When the door opened rather swiftly I almost bounded out of the bed. My attempt was futile to say the least as I simply fell face first onto the tile flooring.
"Aaaagh, what... the... fuck?" Was all I was able to say as I grabbed the bed with what little dexterity and strength my hands had left.
More pain was all came to mind as I stood up, although not as much as last time. In fact much less. Considering what I just went through I shouldn't even be able to move.
'Wait... I can move?' As a wave of joy hit me with that realization.
I let out the BIGGEST smile I could and looked to the door when I heard a small cough. What I saw shocked me......
'Wait is that...... the pony from my wreck?' This made my smile diminish, but it was still there.
I sat on the bed to ease the pain. It helped but not by much. Then I looked at the pony again. It had a lavender coat with a deep purple mane with a magenta stripe. In between the mane I saw what brought shock to my face... there was a horn sticking out of the pony's forehead.
'....'
Any thoughts I had hoped to even conjure up were quickly interrupted by the pony walking closer at a slow and cautious pace. She... at least I think it's a she, sat down in front of me. Then she looked me dead in the eye.
What happened next almost made me black out again.
"Hey there. Are you alright?" The pony spoke in a familiar caring voice.
'Heh.... heheh.... heh....'
Jaw meet legs, legs meet jaw....
Perspective change: Twilight - 1 Min before meeting Deckard<<<
'Okay Twilight... calm down. Maybe he woke up today. After all you did help fix him up. Yeah... he'll be up today... Aaagh who am I kidding.... but... maybe?' I thought with a tinge of depressed as I watched the door just down the hall get larger and larger as I neared it.
'Oh! Why do I even bother? I saw the injuries.... it's not like he's just gonna jump out the bed when I open that door...' I thought as I opened the door of his room.
*knock knock knock.... hello? Irony here!*
The moment I walked in and saw the creature it jumped straight out of bed and a fell face first onto the floor.
I was about to say something when it began to groan.
"Aaaagh, what... the... fuck?"
I would have winced at the language it used, but I was too shocked to do so because of it's sudden movement, so I just stood there. It grabbed the bed post and pulled him self to his feet. Then it stared off for a moment before a smile that could rival pinkie's spread across it's face. After a few moments of awkward staring I was out of shock just enough to cough... getting it's attention. It looked over at me and the creature's smile softened. I was saddened by this but kept my blank expression. It sat down on the bed and stared back at me. After a minute or so I slowly began to walk over to It. To show I was not afraid I looked it dead in the eyes... well... EYE . While remembering what Fluttershy told be about talking to strange creatures, I smiled gently, which I don't think he noticed... as I stared at him I sat in front of him. Nothing happened for a moment so I took in a silent breath and began.
"Hey there. Are you alright?" I asked in a caring tone.
His jaw dropped. I was confused by this because he talked to me at the crash area just fine.
'Well, he isn't from around here that's for sure... so maybe he is just confused....' Ya think?
"Are... you okay?" I asked. It shook it's head after closing it's mouth.
"..."
"..."
After a moment of silence it finally spoke."Y-Yeah,... I'm fine I guess..."
His voice sounded so much better now that he was fixed up. Then I started to remember what the doctor said...
Perspective change: Twilight - Shortly after bringing Deckard to the hospital<<<
"Twilight... I'm very sorry... but I don't think it'll make it." The doctor said in a sad tone.
"This creature has received numerous serious injuries. And almost all of them are around it's midsection and head."
I was silent for a moment with a look of shock fixed on my face before I just couldn't take it. "WHAT!?" I yelled from the waiting room.
"Nononononono! Can't you help it?" I asked starting to tear up.
A poor creature snagged from its home was about to die by my hooves.
"Well.." He began "Several of it's... from what I can only assume are... it's ribs are broken as well as, again only assuming, it's left shoulder. It also has a cracked skull and severe internal bleeding. How it has survived this long is a mystery." He finished.
"Well, what can I do to help?" I said wiping the tears and taking on a serious tone.
"Twilight, I'm truly sorry to say this, but you know nothing of healing magic..." He said trying to calm me down.
"Well... I can fuel your magic! I learned it to help out Rarity while she went on a 2 day stitching spree!" I said with triumph in my voice.
He sighed a bit then began to speak. "Well... alright... but I warn you... it won't be pretty." He said grabbing two gowns and masks.
"Alright, let save this creature!" I said as I walked with him. "Oh and one more thing," He said " It... is a he." This hit me like a rock.
Perspective change: Twilight - Present moment<<<
I continued to remember every last detail of what happened. The sound of bones snapping into place. The squish of skin being mended together... all converging with the pained, blood curdling screams.... My eyes had closed as soon as I started to remember but now they were clenched shut with tears fighting for freedom... After I had my emotions under control I opened my eyes and looked back up to the creature. He had a face of concern on.
"Hey you all right?" He said as he reached out.
I quickly nuzzled his claw as if this was the last time I'd see him. It was soft and warm like a blanket. He must have noticed this because he picked me up not two seconds after I began. He set me down next to him and looked at me with concern filled eyes and spoke.
"Hey, come on what's wrong?" The look on his face afterward was that of which somepony would have after doing something stupid.
*Deckard's thoughts* 'I literally just spoke to a pony....'
I looked at him and the tears started to come back... only this time I couldn't stop them... I wrapped my forelegs around him and bawled into his chest. I thought he was going to push me away, but he didn't. Instead he wrapped his arms around me and kept saying comforting things like, "Shhhh. It alright, just let it out... let It out."
After a good ten minutes of crying I reduced to sniffling and the occasional choke up sob. At one point he moved me on to his lap as he held me. It felt nice to know he was concerned for me... a complete stranger he met after he crashed. He didn't even know my name...
"Hey, by the way whats your name?" He chuckled.
*Irony says Hi*
The vibration from his chest soothed me a little, not by much but a little.
"T-Twilight..Twilight Sp-parkle." I choked out.
"Well... my name is Deckard. Pleased to meet you." He said with a small smile. I hugged him tighter after that.
Then I had a thought.
'I have to tell him.' I thought as a small sob came out.
Perspective change: Deckard<<<
'Well, this has been the most random day ever' I thought
'I woke up from a black out just after pulling my friends out of a wrecked truck, I then proceed to jump up like nothing happened and just faceplant on the ground, and to make thing even stranger, I'm comforting a purple pony... no... UNICORN... I think... that also probably saved my life. Jeez... next thing you know I grow wings, a horn, and some fur!' I yell in my brain.
' Tee hee! Oh you silly filly! We both know that's not possible!' Said a cheery voice startling the shit out of me throwing me into a trance.
"Um, Deckard?" The small pony said snapping me out of the shock induced trance, as I looked at her she looked so sad... but so damn cute... MUST RESIST... URGE... TO HUG....!
"Yes, Twilight?" I said with an awkward smile.
"Well I know you've only known me a short time but I have a confession." My eyes went wide at this and my smile dropped to a confused expression.
"Wh-what do you mean?" I said putting on a fake smile.
"Well... do you remember how you got here?" Oh thank god... I thought that...naaaw that was a ridiculous thought.
' Tee hee! Your funny!'
'Get out of my head you damn voice!'
Silence.
So I turned back to Twilight after my ninth dose of crazy for today.
"Heh, not really... I remember driving into a purple portal and then crashing. Aside from that... nothing comes to mind."
Twilight paused for a moment and took in a slow breath. "Well... that portal... that brought you to this place... to a completely different dimension..." She paused for another moment then let out a pent up breath. "Was caused by me..." She tensed up as if she was waiting for me to react.
After a moment of silence I couldn't take it.
"Pfffft....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I fell backwards clutching my sides from the pain. I had completely forgotten about my bandages. "Hahaha...hehehe..heh, oww..." I said in pain... once again...
"Wait, why are you laughing?" She said, looking at me confused as I got back onto the bed.
"Well, you see, only serious tech could open a portal to another area in my world, much more to go to another dimension." I said as I let out a hardy chuckle.
"Tech? I didn't use any of that. I used magic!" She said in a DUH sort of fashion.
This only brought out more laughter. "I'm serious!" She said with a huff.
"Sure you are miss magic!" I said giggling.
"Well what do you think this is for?!" She said pointing to the horn on her head.
That was actually a good question. "Well if you can do magic prove it" I said giving a giant smirk.
"Fine! What would you have me do?" She said in a Challenge accepted manner.
I stroked my chin feeling the beginning of a beard appearing on my face. 'Odd, I hardly had any facial hair when I got here. Oh well'
I looked around for a moment before I smiled and looked back at Twilight.
"Okay, levitate that couch if you can do magic!" I challenged.
"Okay fine!" She said with another huff.
She began to stare at the coach for a moment. After a second or two it was encased in a purplish glow, as well as her horn. It soon lifted two feet off the ground. Needless to say my jaw dropped and I gawked. She on the other hand just smirked. Then a thought hit me.
'If what she says is true... and I'm in another dimension. Then... that means....' A massive smile appeared again only this time it was bigger.
"Twilight... do you realize what you've done?" I said shaking and twitching.
"Oh Celestia, please don't be mad at me!!" She said grabbing me and tearing up.
Must... not.... hug.....
Perspective change: Twilight<<<
"Mad... MAD?!" He shouted jumping up and grabbing me and lifting me up as he stood. "HOW COULD I BE MAD?!"
"Wait, what!?" I said looking up at him with pure confusion. I then noticed the massive smile adorning his face.
"YOU JUST SAVED ME AND MY FRIENDS FROM A HELLISH WORLD!!! YA HOOOOOO" His sudden outbursts made all my guilt of taking him away from his home become replaced by confusion....
"I'll explain later! Right now I need to-" his face turned into one horror as we heard a loud crack.
"Twilight, where. Is. My. Truck..." He said turning dead serious.
"Your what?" I said starting to shake in his claws.
"MY TRUCK!! The.. The big metal carriage!" He said putting me down.
"OH! That, it's still in town but the contents of it where taken to my home. Why?" I asked starting to worry.
"Do you have any children? Or younger siblings?" He asked now turning frantic.
"Yes, I have Spike. He's only a baby though."
"TWILIGHT, we need to get to your house! Fast!!" He said picking me up again.
Now I was worried too. "A-Alright... hold on... I'll teleport us!"
"Tele-?" He began before getting cut off by the spell.
'I hope Spike's alright...' I thought.
Perspective change: Deckard<<<
There was a bright flash of purple light and a loud POP! noise. After the light faded we were in a house with shelves upon shelves of books adorning them. Then I felt a draft down in my nether regions.
"Uh T-Twilight... does your teleport thingy teleport clothes?" I said feeling a blush coming around.
"No, It doesn't... why?" She said looking at my eyes As I was still holding her.
"Well, could you teleport my clothing to me?" I said as my face reached the color of a tomato.
"Yes, but why?"
"I'll tell you if you do it..."
"Fine here." She said with a huff as a pair of boxers, jeans, and gown appeared.
"Thanks!" I said setting her down with her looking away from me.
"Don't look." And with that I got dressed as fast as I possibly could.
"Okay you can turn around n-" Then I remembered what I was doing. "WAIT WHERE IS THIS SPIKE?!" I yelled and frantically began searching.
I was about to give up hope until I heard a sound I had not heard in my world for ages.
Crying.
It was coming from a door down the hallway of the house. I shot towards the door at lightning speed. The moment I reached it I opened it. Inside was a small set of stairs leading down. I just jumped down them and continued running. What I saw almost made me want to cry myself.
There it was a small purple lizard like creature sobbing as it held the side of it's head. Other than that I saw only one thing. The one thing I had seen to much of and seeing more almost made my heart freeze in terror and pity.
Blood.
Let me know in the comments what you all thought! If you want check out the un-edited version. They are quite different. It takes me a long time to edit a chapter. But as long as it is enjoyed I'll keep doing so!

Memories and an explanation
I may be depressed but I am determined. I will still write and release chapters. Unfortunately I can only release these chapters on this story for now. I am not in the mood for writing for a shadow's grave atm. You will see updates quite soon though.
Chapter 3: Memories and an explanation
"TWILIGHT!! I THINK I FOUND SPIKE!" I yelled while in total panic mode.
I slowly walked over to the small lizard and gently tapped him on the arm. Other than his constant sobbing... he didn't respond. I placed my hands on his sides and slowly picked up the small sobbing creature. As I did he clutched my chest as if it was going to save his life.
"Hey there little guy. Your all right... everything's fine..." I said in a soothing voice as I pat his back and walked up the stairs.
*THWOMP* I stubbed my toe on something.
I looked down to see what I could only assume was one of my... guns! From the shape of it, It was a 9mm pistol. I would have been happy to see one of my weapons on any other occasion... but at the moment I could muster up nothing more than hatred for the violent tool. I kicked the damn thing across room and resolved to find it later. I bolted up the stairway and out of the room like a bat outta hell. I ran into the main room I was in before I found Spike, only to see Twilight with 5 other ponies. One was a familiar butter colored pegasus with a light pink mane and tail. She also had blueish green eyes. The next one was was a pegasus as well. She had a cyan coat and a messy rainbow, literally it was freakin rainbow colored, mane and tail. Her eyes were deep rose. The third pony was an orange color with a blonde mane and tail, both of which were tied up in a ponytail.
Heh... ironic. Don't you think?
She also sported a stetson hat. Unlike Twilight and the first two, she had no horn nor wings. She also had apple green eyes. The pony next to her was a bright pink hue with a poofy magenta colored mane and tail.
'That looks like freakin cotton candy....'
Just like the previous pony, she also had neither wings nor a horn. Her eyes were a light sky blue. The final pony was a unicorn with a snow white coat with a violet mane and tail which were both curled Elegantly. This pony had deep blue eyes with...
'...Is that... eye liner?'
All the ponies saw me and glared, with the exception of Twilight who was now crying.
'Damn, if looks could kill.... I would be ashes by now' I thought as I stood there, frozen in fear I didn't know I had.
Their vision drifted down to my chest. I looked down as well. I saw the small lizard still sobbing and his fin was still bleeding. Then they got... pissed.
'Uh oh...' I thought as the butter colored egasus bolt forward and began hovering eye level, nearing my face.
"HOW DARE YOU! " She said in a tone that could... no... WOULD scare jack the ripper.
I slowly started to back up. Every step I took she flew forward the length of two.
"HOW DARE YOU HURT A SMALL, HELPLESS BABY DRAGON! RIGHT AFTER WE SAVED YOU! " I was now visibly trembling.
'Holy fuck.... how can something so adorable be so scary' I thought.
I fell on my ass and started to scoot backwards only to be followed by the frightening Pegasus.
"Bu-bu-but I-I-I w-w-wasn't h-h-hurt-t-ting h-h-him..." I practically whispered.
I tried not to look her into her eyes, but was failing miserably. Staring into those eyes was like staring into heaven and hell at the same time.... not as interesting as you think. Then I remembered something I really wish I didn't.....
As I stared into her eyes.... I saw a void completely deprived of life... as it took me into it's clutches everything began to fade...
Perspective change: Deckard - Start of the outbreak<<<
"MOM?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I yelled as I ran into the room holding the gun my father gave me.
It was a 45. ACP modern 1911. I watched as my own mother mercilessly began eating my brother... tears freely ran down my face as I watched her slowly get up and turn around. Her mouth was covered in blood and flesh. I slightly dry heaved at the sight. I held up my gun and whispered...
"I'm so fucking sorry..." She then let out an ear piercing scream and began to move.
*BLAM*
The fired round cut through her skull and splattered blood, grey matter, and bone everywhere behind her. I let out a cry of agony and fell to the floor. They were all I had left besides my friends. My dad was the first to go of my family, he then bit my mom, and well you know the rest. I got off the floor and walked to my brothers mangled, bloodied corpse. As I got to his body it let out a gasp of air and looked at me with lifeless eyes.
"Your not my brother..." I again whispered and pulled the trigger.
*BLAM*
The shot echoed throughout the whole room. After the short echo the only noise was the sound of the hot casing bouncing and rolling across the hard bathroom floor. I fell to the floor and screamed into the night at the top of my lungs.
"BY ALL THE THAT IS HOLY, I SWEAR THAT I WILL KILL WHO EVER BROUGHT THIS PLAGUE UPON MY FAMILY! MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON THEM, BECAUSE I SHALL GIVE THEM NONE!" I then began sobbing quietly into the night.
I was traumatized by the event that just happened. But strangely... at the same time I felt almost... happy. My family wouldn't have to endure this hell any longer and they would not walk this earth as soulless monsters.....
"What happened? ...What has happened to this world? ...To my home...." I said as I gazed out a window to see my once lively world..... it was now literally 'hell on earth'.
Perspective change: Deckard - Present time<<<
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?! " The pegasus said in an ear-shattering tone.
"I-I-I w-w-wasn't h-h-hurt-ting h-him... I-I-I w-was t-trying t-to h-h-help-p..." I whispered slightly louder as my eyes were now beginning to fill with depressed and fear stricken tears.
But my fatherly instincts wouldn't allow me to let go of Spike. He reminded me of my brother. Young, full of life, ready to be all he can be. I hated and loved him for those reasons. Her expression immediately softened. It turned from pure rage to a confused expression.
"Twilight, i-is this true?" She said in a worried tone looking to her the answer.
Twilight simply nodded and came over to me to look at Spike.
"Oh...oh my, I-I'm so sorry..." She said in a quiet and gentle voice.
She started to walk over to help me but I immediately backed up in complete fear.
'My mom was right... The devil is real...' I thought.
I looked down to see that Spike was still clutching me, but at this point it was more or less me clutching him, hoping for the little guy to protect me somehow. She stopped advancing when she saw me back up. Her expression now became sad as she walked over to the group with her head down. Twilight walked past the depressed pegasus and up towards me where she sat down in front of me. Using one arm I gently pulled her into a hug and cried. (yeah men cry... especially after getting the stare from Fluttershy). After sobbing for a while longer, I handed her Spike.
"He- *sniff* only has a small cut on his fin, *sniffle* and I think he will be deaf for a good 10 minutes, but he'll be fine" I whispered.
"Why are you talking like that?" She asked as she put Spike on her back.
"I don't want that blue eyed demon to hear me..." I said with fear in my voice.
"What? You mean Fluttershy?" I nodded "What did sh-" Her eyes quickly widened. "Oh no... are you okay?" She frantically whispered
I shook my head and huddled up in the corner with tears still freely falling down my cheeks.
'By all that is holy.... what is she? And what did she do to me?!' I questioned while covering my head with my hands hoping to block out the world.
Perspective change: Twilight<<<
'Oh Celestia... I really hope it wasn't what I think it was...' I thought as I walked back towards my friends.
"Girls, I'm going to need you all to leave. Except for you Fluttershy."
"Why in tarnation would we do that? And why does Shy stay 'ere while we trot on out?" Applejack said clearly annoyed.
"YEAH! Also if we leave what do we tell Mayor Mare? She'll want a explanation of whatever the hay made that noise!" Rainbow Dash piped in.
Using my magic I quickly and safely shoved the rest (except for Fluttershy) of them all out.
"Fluttershy is staying because she can help Spike, your leaving so I can comfort my guest, and tell Mayor Mare that it was... a failed spell..." I said before slamming the door.
I could hear their complaints through the door. I simply shrugged them off and went over to Fluttershy who was staring at Deckard. (Not that kind of stare)
"Fluttershy." I said slightly startling her.
She turned to see me with a stern expression.
"Can you help Spike while I calm Deckard down?" I asked as I put Spike on her back.
As he landed on her back he grabbed her neck gently. After seeing spike in good hooves I walked over to Deckard.
"Oh okay... but Twilight..." She started effectively stopping me and causing me to turn to face her. "... Will it be okay?" She had a regretful expression on her face.
"First of all, it is a he, and second, I'm not sure Fluttershy... Whatever you did surely did some damage to him." I said while turning back towards Deckard and continuing to advance towards him.
I knew exactly what she did. She used what the others call 'The stare' on him. I heard a sniffle come from behind me.
"Okay..." I saw her fly upstairs to the bathroom to clean up and dress Spike's wound. When I got to Deckard he wasn't crying anymore.
"Deckard?" I said nudging his knee with my hoof.
He slowly looked up to see me.
"Is she gone?" He asked while quickly looking around.
"No, but she's upstairs helping Spike." I said looking at him with saddened eyes.
He really did look awful now. Whatever he saw seriously hurt him, mentally anyway. I doubt that he'll ever even look at Fluttershy the same way again....
"Please, believe me when I say that she never meant any harm. She was just trying to protect Spike." I said trying to convince him that she was not, as he called her, a 'blue eyed demon'.
"Twilight... I have seen and done things I wish I never had to. Things that could make the most violent, evil, vile creatures throw up. But those... those eyes. They inflict a mixture of pain and comfort that I only experienced once in my life back on my home world." He took in a shaky breath after his little speech.
"What kind of th-things?" I said, unsure if I truly wanted to know.
"Twilight, you know how I said I would explain everything back at the hospital." I nodded "Well, sit down and grab a bucket. Because you're going to be disgusted, afraid, and depressed."
And with that he recounted his tales from when it started from how he acquired all his equipment to how he got here. He left out no details of each event. From the sound of his weapons connecting with the creatures skulls to the wails of pain from 'raiders' as he called them. One thing was strange though.
'Where was his family during this horror? Surly they didn't leave him? Did they?' I thought.
"Finally Twilight, I'll tell you what happened to my family...." He started "When this whole thing started my father and I were going to the store to get food for dinner that night. When we parked our car this man covered in blood began to walk towards us, how we didn't see him while driving is beyond me. Anyway... he creeped up on us and bit into my dads shoulder." He said taking in a another shaky breath. "After my dad yelped in pain I grabbed my dads gun from the holster in the car and shot the man once. Right between the eyes." He tapped the bridge of his nose as he said this. "After that I don't remember much... I remember calling my mom, going to the hospital, my dad biting my mom, and then....." He stopped and began to tear up again. After a minute he finally continued. "And then she ate my brother..." I gasped at this.
"Why!? Why would she do that!?" I practically yelled at him.
"Because of that DAMNED VIRUS!" He shouted with a enough force to give Luna's royal Canterlot voice a run for her bits.
"Well, what did you do?" I asked.
"...." He looked down at the floor again.
"Deckard?"
"I ll'd huh" He mumbled
"what?"
"I said I.." He paused and lifted his head.
His eyes were now oceans of tears. "I killed her..." He said as the tears released
"I had to. It was either leave her a monster to hurt others or end her there and then and let her rest.... I knew my mother, she wouldn't have wanted to be alive if that was what she turned into... and thanks to that virus I had to kill my brother too." He wiped his face with his hand and looked at me.
"Now you understand why what she did is unforgivable. She caused all the pain and suffering I had left behind to come back all at once." He said as he wiped away tears.
I didn't even try to hold back mine. I grabbed him and hugged as hard I could. He willingly accepted my embrace as I drenched his chest with my tears.
"I...don't know what to say." Was all I could choke out.
"You don't need to say anything... and you can come out now... demon." He said with poison in his voice.
An audible "Eep!" was heard from one of my drapes.
Perspective change: Fluttershy<<<
"Now you understand why what she did is unforgivable. She caused all the pain and suffering I had left behind to come back all at once." He said as he wiped away tears.
I had just heard the most depressing story in my whole life. And I caused it all to come back to him in one big blast. I felt... horrible. I had hid behind the curtain next to the door after tending to Spike. I cleaned up his fin and put him to bed. He cried him self to sleep after I left.Then I heard Twilight speak up.
"I... don't know what to say." She said.
"You don't need to say anything... and you can come out now... demon." Deckard? Was what Twilight called him.
He responded with what I could only assume was malice or anger in his voice.
I slowly and quietly walked out from the curtain and looked at him. As I did he turned his head away from me. This felt like a punch to the face. I could only... no, I couldn't imagine what he had went through. I could only feel sorry for him....
"I'm so very sorry... I didn't mean to cause such pain to you..." I said with my usual shy voice. "I can't imagine what you went through, and I'm very sorry it happened. I only wanted to keep my friends safe and when I see them hurt..." I trailed off.
This must have gotten his attention because he raised his claw and slowly turned back to me. His eyes still avoided my face but, at least he was facing me now.
"Your saying you caused such great pain to me because you were afraid I was going to hurt them?" I nodded. "And you went head first into danger just to defend them and Spike?" I nodded once more. I heard him make a scoff.
"Heh... you sound a lot like me." This caused Twilight to yell...
"What?!" She yelled right into his face.
"Well, shes a lot like me by the fact that we both go head first into danger to protect the ones we care for. No matter what the cost." He said as his eyes slightly drifted towards me.
"It's almost enough to make me want to forgive you." My ears perked up at this. "Almost...." He repeated, causing my ears to fall back down.
I started to turn around and walk away... then I felt something gently grab my shoulder..... and I saw the creature staring down at me with what appeared to be a.... smile?
Perspective change: Deckard<<<
"Almost...." After I said that I could tell by her face that it must have hurt to hear.
So I did the only thing I could think of in moments like this. I picked Twilight up and off my body. After I set her down I walked over to the sad Pegasus and placed my hand on here shoulder. She turned her head and stared right into my eyes. I almost bolted until I saw there was no pain or discomfort, only sadness. This made me put a sad smile on.
"You didn't let me finish, Fluttershy." Yeah I remember her name. Hooray for me!
"I said I would not forgive. But, I'm willing to forget." This seemed to really help her because her face adorned a massive smile and tears formed in her eyes.
I knelt down to her and stared back into her eyes. "But are you willing to forgive me?"
This seem to catch her off guard. "What are you apologizing for?" She said a little confused.
"Well, you know... for calling you demon, and not giving you the benefit of the doubt. Pretty much I jumped to conclusions." I said while scratching the back of my head.
She smiled even wider now and more tears poured from her eyes. I then opened my arms and spoke. "Can you forgive me?"
She practically tackled me to the floor. She was attached to my chest and sobbing. I gladly returned the hug.
"Yes, I do forgive you." She said into my chest as she was still sobbing.
'Well, I'm glad that I didn't wear a shirt here or else I would have to take it off to avoid getting it wet. Also the ponies are really, really, REALLY soft...' I thought as the Pegasus hugged me a little tighter and cried a teeny bit more.
'I'm certainly glad I can at least look at her now without shitting my self.' Then Twilight came over and patted the Pegasus on the back.
"Well, now that mess is cleared up, would you like to see if your other human friends are awake?"
A smile spread across my face as I began to speak. "I would like that very much." Then I heard a small *Ring* and looked next to myself.
I gave it a closer look and noticed the glow it gave when the light hit it.
"What's this?" I said.
I picked up the object to give it a closer look.
"It looks like a necklace. Of Pegasus origin clearly. Made from sapphire and gold. Oh look... there's writing on the back!" Said Twilight.
"To our loving daughter North Star."
"Aww, how sweet!" Said Twilight.
"Oh look! There's a picture taped to the back!" I said taking the tape off.
I saw a small family of Pegasi and right in the middle of the two elder ponies was a small, Dark purple pony with a black mane and tail that had red streaks in it.
"Cute kid, oh wait, there's writing on it." Said the unicorn as she looked at the back of the picture. I flipped it over and read.
"We will miss you so much. Just remember that as long as you have this amulet we will always be with you. Be strong, be tough, and most importantly, be yourself. Love your mom and dad... Wow. I don't know whether to cry at the fact that this poor girl-"
"Mare." Twilight corrected.
"What?"
"A female pony is a mare."
"Fine. To the fact that this poor mare lost this amulet or the fact that she is probably searching everywhere only for it to be right here. Well, if we see her I'll give it to her." I said standing up and putting the necklace in my pocket.
Fluttershy was still death gripping me, so when I stood up she just hung there.
"Well... shall we leave?" I asked.
"Yes, let's." And with that Twilight's horn glowed and we were gone.
'Wait, we left Spike alone again.... dammit!'

Chapter 4: Friends, fights, and royalty
The trip was quick and with out incident. As we teleported into the hospital we saw lots of guards, doctors, and nurses. When my feet felt ground again I made sure I still had my pants
'Oh thank god...' I thought as I felt my jeans.
"Twilight!! Get away from that creature! It's Dangerous!" Said a young voice.
Then Twilight and Fluttershy were surround by a purple aura and pulled away from me. After they were safely off me a couple of guards charged at me with spear.
They're trying to kill me?! I though as I side stepped and grabbed the spear the guard was holding in his mouth.
I slammed it against the ground. HARD. This caused the guard to be knocked out. The second guard tried again to stab me. He began to turn but, being in a small room he had limited movement. I ran up, grabbed him, then I punched him in the side of his head. This effectively disoriented him enough for me to deliver another punch knocking him out as well.
"Enough!! I'll make quick work of you and then throw your friends in a dungeon to rot!" Said the same voice.
Then a guard covered in simple metal armor, except for his helmet missing, approached. He was a unicorn, and was pretty tall for a pony. His mane was deep blue with two blue strips going down it, much like Twilight's mane. His coat was bleach white.
"Shining armor wait! You don't know what he's capable of!" Twilight began to yell.
But this 'Shining armor' Ignored her. Her pulled out two swords with his magic.
"Buddy, you just made a big mistake saying that..." I strafed over to the bed post and did something I always wanted to do.
I grabbed the bedpost and pulled it off. It bent and creaked as I ripped it off. I now had a 4ft metal pipe as a weapon. Then I did the simple taunt by holding out my hand and giving him the 'Bring it bitch' gesture.
After that short moment of awesome I could die now and not care.
He gladly complied and rushed towards me. The swords started to swing madly and dented the metal bar as they hit. After about half a minute of mindless swinging he charged me. I side stepped again and hit him on the ass causing him to drop as the swords skid to a halt away from him. As he fell I kicked the swords even farther away and picked him up by the throat. I brought him to my eyes.
"If you ever..... threaten my friends again... I will. Not. Hesitate in making you have a life time of agony. Got it?" He nodded and I dropped him.
He fell to the floor gasping for air with an angry expression. I then started walking towards my friends on the opposite side of the room. The guards separated into two rows and shivered as I walked past them. The doctors and nurses had long left when the fighting had began. As I got to my friends I sat down next to them.
Perspective change: Shinning armor<<<
That... that monster defeated me... even after I brought out my swords. They were enchanted to stun and weaken any pony hit with them. Now it will roam free and hurt innocents. No... no. I will not allow that... even if it means...*Gulp*... Killing it... I grabbed my dagger I hid on my front foreleg. I slowly drew the blade and began walking towards it as all the guards were staring at it and Twily was starting to walk toward it. Twily's curiosity is gonna get her killed! I jumped on a bed and jumped at the back of monster. He turned towards me and started to talk in my direction.
"Look... I just wanted to say Im-HURK" I saw him flinch as I drove the blade into his chest....
I saw him fall to the ground. When he hit the floor he looked at the wound in his chest...... I saw tears in the monster eyes. I frowned at this. I didn't want to do it but I swore that I'd protect Celestia and her subjects at any and all cost when I took this job. I saw the life slipping from the monster's eyes. He looked right at me and began to talk.
"I...just... wanted..to..say..I..was.... sorry...I didn't...want to...Hurt..anyone....I...just..want...to..to....." Then his body went limp.
Perspective change: Deckerd-30 seconds before<<<
'Maybe I should try to apologize. I did kinda disgrace him in front of his troops.'
I turned around and began to speak. "Look... I just wanted to say I'm-HURK" I was interrupted by a blade that drove it self into my chest.
I fell to the ground confused. I looked to see where I got stabbed. The blade was sticking out of my chest and from what I could tell it was only a centimeter away from my heart. I started to tear up.
'Even if the blade wasn't in my heart it would be if they tried to remove it.'
I looked up at shining armor and spoke. "I...just..wanted..to..say..I..was.sorry...I didn't...want to...Hurt..anyone....I...just..want...to..to...."
Then I slipped in to a black void....
Perspective change: Twilight<<<
I thought I would never have witnessed it. I had read many books on how ponies murdered other ponies, but that was long before my time. Now. Right in front of me. I just saw a act of murder. From my own brother!
"Come on Twily. You don't need to see this." My brother said as he stepped towards me.
I stepped away from him."Twily, what's wrong?" He asked.
"What's wrong ? What's wrong!? YOU JUST KILLED MY FRIEND! THAT'S WHATS WRONG!!" I screamed at him.
Tears were starting to fall. The creature I brought to this world. The one that forgave me. The one that helped Spike. The one who I spent a entire night helping the doctors fix. The one who was my friend was now dead or dying.
"Twilight, that thing is a monster that could've hurt innocent ponies! Twilight it broke part of your home open!" He retorted.
"I did that! I brought him here! Any damage he did was my fault! And now you've just killed an innocent being Shining!" I defended.
The look on his face must have meant these word were hitting him hard.
"T-Twilight. He.."
"HE DID WHAT HUH?! NOTHING! HE. DID. NOTHING. WRONG. YOU RACIST FLANKHOLE, HE DID NOTHING WRONG!! HE WAS SNATCHED FROM HIS HOME AND WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY! NOW HE WILL NEVER GET TO EXPLAIN TO HIS FRIENDS WHAT HAPPENED! IN FACT THEY WILL NEVER GET TO SEE HIM WHEN THEY WAKE UP!! SHINING YOU PRETTY MUCH JUST KILLED THE BROTHER OF THESE TWO!!" I was furious right now.
Now I could tell what I said hit Shining hard. I don't now whether it was his little sister crying and yelling at him or the fact he really did kill somepony who was innocent.
"Twi-" I cut him off before he could continue.
"I! AM! NOT! FINISHED!! HE HELPED ME SHINING! HE HELPED ME FIND SPIKE WHEN HE WAS HURT!! HE HELPED A COMPLETE STRANGER TO FIND HER LOVED ONE BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT THERE WAS TROUBLE!! HE WAS A NICE CREATURE SHINING!! I TRIED TO STOP YOU, YOU JUST SHRUGGED ME OFF! JUST LIKE AT THE WEDDING!!" This caused him to flinch.
Even the guards were shaking at my little display. Then I heard a very familiar voice.
"Shining armor. Is what Twilight is saying true? Did you attack without any type of waring or even try to make peace with the creature?" The voice came from none other than princess Celestia, by her side was also princess Luna, Shining bowed his head and kneeled
"Yes your highness. I did. I was-" The princess cut him off by holding up a hoof.
"Shining armor you know we have a very low tolerance of attacking ponies or any creature without reason. Killing, on the other hoof, is completely unacceptable." The princess let out a sad sigh "You have done both. I here by decree that you shall no longer be the captain of the royal guard. For your actions have shown today, you are unfit to command my troops. I am sorry." This caused Shining's demeanor to change quickly. He was sad before now he was depressed and ashamed.
"Wait..." We all heard a raspy voice say.
It.... was Deckard?! He was alive! He shouldn't be though... from what little he told me about human anatomy. If he got stabbed in the heart he should be dead. I saw him lean up and coughed into his hand. Then he wiped his hand off on his chest. Blood was smeared on his chest now.
Perspective change: Deckard<<<
I woke up for a second to hear a very sad piece of news.
"I here by decree that you shall no longer be the captain of the royal guard. For your actions have shown today, you are unfit to command my troops. I am sorry." Said a foreign voice.
'Wow, if that voice was any more caring I would almost say it was my moms!' I felt depressed after that thought, I couldn't let this guy lose his job because he was trying to defend his family and people.
"Wait...." I sat up through the excruciating pain and coughed into my hand.
'Blood...aww fuck ' I wiped the blood off on my chest and looked at the new pony in the room.
She was tall. Taller than shining, almost as tall as me. Without the horn of course. I also noticed that the pony had both wings and a horn. She also wore a tiara and a big necklace with a purple diamond.
"Look....he *wheeze * was...only protecting...his...family and people.....he made...a good....choice...a bit rash....but...still...good.." I said with the few breaths I had.
I was feeling more and more faint. Twilight had walked up to me while I wasn't looking. I had tears in my eyes when I saw her crying. " Tw-Twilight....take..ca..care...of..my...friends..please....*choke ...wheeze * and...thanks.."
"For what?" She said all choked up.
"F-For....saving..my...friends.." I said with a smile.
Then I looked at the tall pony again. "Please...forgive....Shining Armor.... he... only.. did... what.. he... thought... was.. right... please.." I closed my eyes and began to go limp.
"Deckard? Deckard NO! NO Dec-" I again blacked out probably for good this time.
Perspective change: Luna<<<
I saw the strange creature go limp next to Twilight. The poor mare was really taking this hard. I looked up at my sister and spoke.
"Sister, I believe we should heed the word of the strange creature. It gave it's last breath to defend shining. I believe you should consider revoking your previous order. Also we don't know if this creature is truly deceased!" I said hoping to help the Sparkle siblings.
Tia looked at me then at the creature. Her horn glowed for a brief moment and her eyes shot open. "Twilight. Is what you said about the creature true? Did he really help you?" She asked. I knew what she was planning.
"Yes, princess he did." Twilight said while still crying into the chest of the creature.
"Good... that's all I needed to hear. Guards clear the room of the medical staff and wait outside for us. You ready Luna?" She asked.
I nodded as both of our horns began to glow bright. The energy from our horns glowing then focused in front of us and shot into a each other creating a single beam. The beam hit the creatures chest. The blade that was stuck in his chest removed its self and caused his wound to stitch up quickly. Twilight only watched in awe as the wound was completely healed. Any internal bleeding that was left over was removed into a crimson orb outside of the creatures body. It started to harden until it was a solid mass. After it was hardened it gently floated down the ground. The energy was gone and now the only thing left was to see of it worked. I saw his claw twitch slightly...
Perspective change: Deckard<<<
'Why do I feel tingly? Is death supposed to feel tingly?' I tried to say out loud but only could be heard in my head.... I think.
'Being dead is confusing....' I said-thought.
This black void was getting old really fast and the weird sensation only made it more boring. I suddenly felt my senses coming back to me. I heard sniffling.
'Twilight?' Then I could smell the cool air from wherever I was.
I then could feel the floor and my finger twitch. Then a thought struck me.
'Am I alive?' I crack open my eye slowly.
I saw a now stupefied Twilight, an also awestruck Shining Armor, and two exhausted looking tall ponies. I then felt a small volt of pure energy run through my veins. My eyes shot open and all my muscles tensed.
"HOLY SHIT THAT FEELS WEIRD!!" I shouted as my muscles slowly relaxed.
"DECKARD!!" I heard Twilight yell as she wrapped her forelegs around me. "I don't know how they did it, but they did! They brought you back to life!"
"Who?" I asked as I got up and held Twilight in my arms.
I also noticed a distinct lack of guards and medical staff.
"Why, the princesses saved you of course!" She used a hoof to gesture at the tall winged unicorns.
There was now a blue pony exactly the same as the tall one, only she was a dark blue with a star dotted mane. Also she was noticeably shorter. I gently put Twilight down and walked over to the princesses.
"Hello." She started. "I'm princess Celestia, and this is my sister... princess Luna." She gestured towards the small winged unicorn.
The blue one was looking at me with curiosity. I slowly approached them and kneeled down to eye level to the blue one effectively making me look less threatening. "You saved my life?"
They both nodded. I almost immediately started to tear up. I quickly grabbed both of them and gave them a HUGE hug."Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am forever in your dept! Ask anything of me and it will be done!" I said as tears fell from my face.
"Well for starters you can put us down." Luna said with a chuckle and a blush.
I looked down to see I was standing and holding both of them off the ground. Tia was 2 inches off the ground and Luna was almost a foot of the ground.
"Oh oops... sorry." I gave a sheepish smile as I placed them on the ground.
They both took a few steps away to get a better look of me. "It's quite alright Mr....?" "Deckard your majesty." " Yes, it's quite alright sir Deckard. You were only expressing you gratitude." Celestia said.
Then we all heard a groan come from behind us. My eyes widened.
'Are they...' . I whipped around and saw my friends moving around a little.
Twilight had backed up from the beds when she saw them moving. I saw Chris's eyes flutter open. They darted around until they met me. "Deckard? Am I still dreaming or are you standing around a bunch of multi-colored ponies?" He said in a drowsy state.
I smiled massively with more tears running down my cheeks. "You ain't dreaming now man. We're finally safe!" I said making my way to the bed.
"What? How? You know better than me that nowhere is safe." He said. His eyes never left me.
"Okay dude, don't call me crazy, but this pony here..." I said gesturing for the lavender pony to come over.
She did so hesitantly. "This pony right here. Brought us to another dimension."
He looked at me for a second before bursting into laughter. "Dude *snicker* how can a pony do that?"
"Hey Twilight, you wanna introduce yourself and show him?" I asked the pony in question.
She nodded and walked up to the bed. She sat down in his plain sight and began. "Hello. My name is Twilight Sparkle and I brought you to this dimension through the use of none other than magic *snort snort*." She said jokingly causing me to drop to the floor in a fit of laughter.
She then levitated a glass of water from the night stand over to him. "Thirsty?" She said innocently.
He grabbed the glass and stared at it before placing it back on the night stand. "...."
"Uh Deckard? I think I might have broke him." She said with a small giggle. *poof* Chris had passed out.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Damn... takes A LOT of work to edit and stuff. But it's SOOO worth it!

I began working on this chapter to get those ones out I promised to! Next up... A shadow's grave!
Chapter 5: Gratefulness and feelings
After Chris passed out on the bed I began to walk over to the pony known as Shining Armor.
"Shining Armor I assume?" I asked looking down at him.
He shakily looked up at me. He had, what I could only assume was fear, in his eyes.
"Y-Y-Yes. I'm Shining..." He stuttered back.
"Why are you shaking like a leaf?" I asked with a tilt of my head.
He simply looked up with confusion and still a little less fear.
"Wha huh? Y-You aren't mad at me?" He asked.
"Oh that. Yes, I am still mad about that in fact..." I got down on one knee. And slapped him upside the head.
It left a red hand mark on him.
"OW!" He yelped.
"That's for nearly killing me." I picked up his hoof and shook it. "And that was for protecting your sister. Cherish your loved ones always, and never forget them." I felt a tear roll down my cheek. "You never know when they will just be wiped from your life permanently." I felt my eyes close as a few more tears fell.
"Sir Deckard, are you alright?" I heard Princess Luna ask.
I turned to her and nodded. "*Sniff* Yeah I'm fine. Just trying to live down some old memories." I said with a slight shudder.
Then I felt something press against my shoulder. I looked and traced the hoof back to a worried looking Princess Luna.
"You're not alright... you have a tear in your eyes...." She said as she used another hoof to wipe my face.
"Thanks, but I'm fine. Really. Just some painful memories." I said as I wiped the rest of the tears away with a nearby tissue.
After awhile everything calmed down. The Princess canceled her order for disavowing Shining. He and I became friends, but I still held a bit of a grudge against him. We settled it with him owing me any favor, with obvious exceptions of course (i.e. nothing to do with his wife, nothing to do with murder, etc.). I also explained how I got here with the help of my new friend Twilight.
"So... you got here by a freak accident caused by Twilight's spell?" The lunar goddess asked.
She was rather intrigued by the idea of me coming here by accident.
"In a nutshell, yeah that's about it." I said while sitting on the bed with Twilight sitting beside me.
"Also a little off topic, I wanted to ask if I could explore the town?"
I saw Celestia and Luna think it over for a moment.
"Do you think that's a good idea? I mean the town did see you break through my house and 'face-plant' as you call it, into the middle of town square." Twilight whispered.
Well she was right, but I did have a plan. I was going to answer any and all questions they ask, let them wail on me if they wanted to, and I was going to introduce myself and explain my situation. Then a thought hit me.
"Hey twilight? How did you fix your house? I mean when I was there I didn't see a gaping hole in the wall." I asked her.
She simply smiled.
"Magic." She replied smugly.
"Magic?" I deadpanned.
"Magic." She repeated.
"I believe an introduction is in order if you wish to be acquainted with this town." Luna said.
I began to get slightly uncomfortable. I didn't mind public speaking, but I preferred not to do it.
"Ummm o-okay... when will it happen?" I asked slightly unnerved.
"Well, we could do it tomorrow if you'd like?" Asked the sun Princess.
"Um... alright. Let's do it!" I was really nervous about this but did my best to not show it.
"Good. In the mean time do you have anywhere to stay?"
"Uuuh?" I scratched my chin " I could sleep in my car." I said with a shrug.
"You... own part of a train?" Luna asked with a confused expression, I laughed a little causing a blush to appear on her face.
"No, your highness. it's what I call that big metal carriage that crashed. I could move it out of Ponyville and into a meadow or something."
Twilight then jumped into the conversation. "What if he stayed with me?"
I was honestly a bit taken back by the request. I understood the helping me out because she caused me to be here, but to literally take me into her home with open... hooves?
"Well... I certainly see no problem with that. What about you?" She said to me... I shrugged.
"If she is willingly going to give me shelter it would be rude not to accept." I smiled.
"Then it's settled. Thank you Twilight for the hospitality you are showing our guest." And with that the two royal ponies began to charge up a white light. Before they could completely finish.... whatever it was they were doing... I noticed a red orb on the ground.
"Oh! Princesses! What about this?" I yelled to them.
They canceled there spell and Luna turned to see what I was talking about. I grabbed the orb and showed it to her. As she saw it she giggled.
"Deckard that's not ours. That's yours!!" She said.
I looked at the orb and tilted my head.
"But I've never owned a crimson orb before..." I replied.
She walked up to me and looked into my eyes.
"That's because that's you're own blood! It was the internal bleeding that was harming you. Your body kept rejecting to retake it, so we simply removed it and condensed it into this orb." I was slightly awed and disgusted by the fact my hand was holding a orb of my own blood.
"Okay no offense, but this kinda creeps me out, but not in a bad way! More like a 'I don't know how to react' sorta way." I gave her a sheepish grin.
"It's alright. I would probably react the same way." She winked and began the spell again. With a bright flash both Luna and Celestia were gone.
After that little conversation I just kept staring at the orb in complete awe.
'This.... is really awesome... and really creepy...' I thought.
Twilight had walked up to me while I was in my 'Zoned-out' state. She began to tap me on the knee trying to get my attention. Then she started saying my name.
"Hey Deckard, you okay?" I blinked.
"Huh? What...? ...Oh, yeah I'm fine. Just a little confused is all." I placed the orb on the bed when a slight chill met my back.
I just realized I had nothing covering my back or my feet. I looked around until I spotted a small stack of clothing. I walked over and grabbed the assorted cloth and began to re-dress. All I had was a simple white T-shirt and a pair of boots.
'Huh... I thought I was wearing my jump-suit before I got here? Oh well... might have been torn up or burnt or something... oh well.'
Twilight was watching my every move as if I was planning something. After I finished I turned to Twilight.
"So... shall we be leaving?" I asked her.
"Of course! We just need to sign you out." And with that we left the room and went up to the counter.
As we walked I noticed a strangely familiar pegasus at the check-out counter.
'Huh... odd... I feel like I've seen her before.....' I gasped.
'The amulet!!' I quickly pulled it out of my shirt and checked the photo.
'A perfect match!' I thought.
I walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Yes? May I-" Her voice trailed off as she saw me, she immediately started shaking in fear.
I crouched down to eye level with her and spoke.
"Is your name North Star?" She nodded fearfully.
"Well then... I believe this belongs to you..." I pulled the necklace out of my pocket and held it out in front of her.
She looked at the amulet and her eyes went wide.
"WERE DID YOU FIND THIS?!?" She yelled as she took it from my hand and continued to examine it as if it were false.
"Well while I was helping my friend over there it fell next to me. I picked it up and saw the picture. I resolved to find the pony that lost it." I said.
The pony looked like she was about to break down. "Hey... you alright?"
She looked up at me and jumped up to wrap her forelegs around me. Her grip was that of a bear. I could barely breath right then, but the fact she was sobbing into my shoulder made it a little less painful.
"Oh thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!"
"Your... welcome." I said in a raspy whisper.
She let go after a minute or so and I let in a huge gasp. She blushed as I did.
"Heh heh... sorry... I tend to get a bit carried away sometimes." I smiled and rubbed my neck.
"It's alright. I tend to do the same thing. Anyway... glad I could help. My names Deckard by the way." I held out my hand and she gladly took it.
"Well it was nice meeting you North Star, but I have to leave now. See ya later some time?" I asked.
"Yeah sure!" She said with a smile.
With that I signed out and left the hospital with a big smile.
'Wow...this place is more beautiful than I had thought.'
The place really was. The town looked peaceful and the sky was clear except for a rainbow that looked like it was... heading... this... way.
KER-BANG!
'Is that... dirt in my mouth?'

Okay... WHAT THE FUG IS GOING ON?!
I'm rating this chapter R for RANDOMNESS.
__--WARNING--__
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT READ THIS STORY'S ORIGINAL CHAPTERS... SKIP THE BRACKETED TEXT BELOW!
(I know I said I would remove Grey from the story... but I didn't. Mostly because I was asked not too. ALSO more importantly I had just figured out what his purpose was and his story and that stuff from Slayerbroman and therefor I'm no longer confused. And I will heavily edit in some stuff that he said he forgot to put in because he was busy. I promise you that it will all make sense)
Chapter 6: Okay... WHAT THE FUG IS GOING ON!?
I had just left the hospital. Pain free. Dirt free. Everything-bad free. I was walking and saw the nice clear blue sky. There was even a great rainbow.
Then there was dirt.
'Now... how does one get owned by a rainbow...' I thought as I propped myself up.
I was actually surprised I wasn't in much pain after that little assault.
"Oooh no, I'm not finished with you yet!" I heard that same arrogant, raspy and pissed-off voice say.
"Why...*huff * are you... hurting me?" I asked slightly annoyed.
It didn't actually hurt all that much and the pain wasn't too great, I just got the wind knocked out of me.
"Because you were going to hurt my friend!!" She said, her voice getting closer.
I looked over my shoulder and saw a rainbow maned pegasus glaring at me.
"I... I was getting outta the hospit-*grunt * al" I said as I pushed my self to my full height.
She backpedaled after I stood tall and just gawked. "And if you try and hurt me again I will defend myself."
"Oh yeah? Well take this!!" She flew up and tried to tackle me.
I knew I wasn't nearly fast enough to dodge her, so I tensed up as she rammed into me. This time I didn't fly away like a tumbleweed. I stopped her dead in her tracks. I did get pushed back a good 3 ft though. I looked over to where she was and saw her clutching her head.
"Ooowwww.... why is your body really freaking dense?" She said groaning and holding her head.
I walked over cautiously, in case she was faking, and tapped on her shoulder. She flinched then groaned in pain again. I could have just left her there in pain, but these damn ponies were so nice to me and my fatherly instincts took over. I walked over and picked her up. She flailed a lot and fidgeted only to groan in pain again. I began walking back to the hospital in the distance. Eventually she gave up as we neared the hospital.
"Okay fine...eat me.." She said going limp.
I blushed at what she said. I know... I've got a bit of a perverted mind... deal with it.
"Uuuhhh... why would I do that?" She opened one eye to look at me.
"Wait... your not gonna to devour me? I thought you were a carnivore?" She said pointing at my teeth.
I started to laugh at what she said. She only stared at me confused.
"Y-Y-You really thought I was going to..... BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... ohhh I'd *snicker * I'd never eat a pony. Were I come from that's frowned upon.*chuckle *" She just blushed greatly at me.
"Th-Then what do you eat?" She said trying to avoid further embarrassment.
"Well... we're omnivores, which means we eat both plants and animals such as, fish, bear, bovine, poultry, fruit, veggies, and the occasional baked goods." She was slightly confused by some of it, but accepted it none the less.
"So... no ponies?"
"No ponies. I promise I'll never in my life eat another pony."
'Unless they want me to...' I thought silently laughing to myself.
"Pinkie promise?" She asked with a stern expression.
"Uuhhh... what?" I asked honestly confused.
"Well it's a lot better than a normal promise. It's practically a bond that if broken has serious repercussions." She said in a matter of fact tone.
"Okay fine, how does it go?" She went through some silly movements and then asked me to repeat them, I had to put her down though.
"Okay fine...*ahem * cross my heart and hope to fly.... stick a cupcake in my EEEE- YOOOW !!" I actually stuck my finger in my eye...
She fell on the grass laughing. I just groaned and picked her up while my eye was slightly closed. She continued to giggle until we got to the hospital doors.
"Well here we are. let's get you in there." I opened the door to see a very, very, very worried Twilight and a doctor that went wide eyed when I walked in.
Twilight looked at what he was gawking at and saw me with the rainbow maned pegasus in my arms.
"Deckard... why do you have Rainbow Dash in your arms?!" Twilight shouted at me.
"Well... she attacked me, threw me across a field, attacked again only to hurt herself in the process. So I picked her up and brought her here." I stated with a shrug.
I gently placed 'Rainbow Dash' on the couch and walked over to the doctor. I crouched to his height and looked at him.
"Hey, if you could check her and make sure she's okay that would be awesome." He merely nodded and walked over.
Before he could I placed my hand on his back. He flinched and jumped around.
"Sorry doc.... I was just wondering.... were you the one to work on me?" He shakily nodded and closed his eyes as if I was going to eat him.
'...' I got nuthin.
"Well... thank you very much. I'm forever in your dept. If you need something. Anything. I'll be more than happy to help." I said with a smile.
He opened his eyes and saw my smile. Then he smiled back and held out his hoof. I shook his hoof and let out a sigh as he began to treat Rainbow Dash.
"I think I'll take you up on that one day. By the way, my name is stitch'em." He said with a smile.
Then I heard another terrifying sound. Only this time it was even worse than the single noise that had caused Spike's pain.
*CRACK * *RATATATATATATA* *CRACK *
"TWILIGHT!! DID THAT COME FROM YOUR HOUSE?!" I pretty much screamed at her. She shook her head and started to tremble.
"N-N-No.... th-that came from th-th-the Everfree forest." She said still shaking, I sighed and face-palmed.
"Will this day ever end? Okay, Twilight, these humans might be dangerous and have EXTREMELY deadly weapons... Well... at least I think they're human... judging from the sound of the weapon they used..." I said, she just nodded and walked over to me.
'I've been awake no more than a few hours and I'm already trying to save this town. What the hell has the humor to make the world hate me so!' I screamed in my thoughts.
__--Somewhere in the multiverse a particular author is grinning--__
"Do you know where this forest is?" She just nodded again as her horn began to glow.
'Oh god not again.' After a flash of light we were gone.
***********************************
We reappeared at the edge of this Everfree forest . We heard many more gun shots, but now they were accompanied by screams of pain. We ran as fast as we could through the forest to identify the other humans that somehow got here. We stumbled into a clearing where we saw body after body of wood-coated wolf looking things. They all had either many or a single hole in the body that was gushing out, what looked like sap, from their wounds. Some were even still alive. Then we saw them. The two humans. They were pummeling each other with the butts of their guns. One was covered in a full police riot-suit. He was about 6 foot 2 if I had to guess. He was swinging around a spaz-12 like it was a baseball bat. His face was covered by a ski-mask and a riot helmet. The other human was wearing simple clothing. He was dressed in a grey and black checkered zip up hoodie that was un-zipped half way, with a white shirt underneath it. He also wore simple blood covered blue jeans and black sneakers. He was about 6 foot 3. He was carrying a UZI in his right hand and a very large Bowie knife in his left. They continued to fight until the guy in the riot-suit fell on the ground and the hoodie man jumped on top of him and began to stab and beat the unholy fuck outta that guy. We heard begging come from the swat guy as the T-shirt hoodie man raised the knife to finish him.
"You kill for personal gain, you leave those you don't kill with nothing to feed or defend themselves with, and you ask me not to kill you?" He whispered just loud enough for Twilight and I to hear. "Your more of a monster than I had initially thought... now accept your fate." He ripped the helmet from his face and brought the knife down.
"WAIT! " I yelled at him, but it was too late.
The knife was now firmly planted in the face of the other human. I watched him as he tore it out with blood going everywhere. Then I heard someone heave. Probably Twilight. I decided to go talk to him an-
*SNAP * *CRACK * The princesses arrived in a flash of light. They walked over to me while Twilight was heaving on a tree. "Sir Deckard? What are you doing here?" Asked Luna.
"Well, you see Princess... I was going to try and talk to the new humans, but we got here too late and one of them was accused of being a raider. He is now dead."
She looked at me in confusion. "A what?" She asked
"A raider. A person that steals and kills for his or her own gain." The Princess's face turned to a scowl.
"What kind of a pony would do-"
"Luna?" We heard the unidentified man ask.
He was now looking at us, at least I think he was. Couldn't tell because of the hood that was covering his face.
"Luna... is that you?" I heard him ask again.
Luna's face then turned from a scowl to anger/commanding.
"WHO DARES TO INTERRUPT THE PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT?! " I was covering my ears due to me being right next to her.
The man though... he simply lifted his head a bit more, so we could see his mouth under that hood. He was smiling.
"It is you." He said.
"THOU HAS NOT ANSWERED MY QUESTION!!" What happened next nearly made my mind go into shut-down mode.
He slowly lifted his hood and spoke.
"What? You don't remember your old dad?" He said as the hood came off completely.
I could clearly see his face now. He had black short hair with a 5 o'clock shadow. His eyes were nearly black because they were so dark brown. He was now smirking.
"Wait... what?" I asked really confused.
I looked over to Luna and saw her face. She had gone from an angry/commanding face to having tears in her eyes and looked like she was about to break down.
"D-Daddy?" She asked taking a step forward.
The man merely nodded and opened his arms. Luna complied almost as soon as he opened his arms. She rushed forward and wrapped the blood covered man in a embrace. She was now visibly and audibly sobbing now while the man held her.
"Shh shhh it's alright.." He kept saying.
The sun princess had walked over to me by now.
"Deckard? Why is that human holding my sister like a mother does her foal?" She asked while scanning the completely confused expression on my face.
I just shrugged. "I have NO idea... once he said something about being your guys father I kinda went into sleep mode." I wasn't joking... I needed some real sleep soon... all of this excitement takes it's toll...
"WHAT!? We haven't seen our father for five thousand years!!" I winced at her voice.
She blushed when I flinched. "Sorry, but we haven't seen our father for over five thousand years and if what that human says is true..." She now had tears in her eyes.
"Wait... Princess... how can he," I pause as I point to the man. "A HUMAN BEING from another DIMENSION be your guy's father?" I asked quite certainly perplexed.
She let in a shaky breath. "F-First I must confirm what he is saying is true or not. Then I will answer your questions." She said.
Then she walked over to the man. "Sir... please release my sister so I may conduct a memory search."
The man chuckled. "Heh... same old Cele... always being safe. Alright... go on Luna, go by your Sister." Luna merely nodded and walked over next to Cele... oh... I'm gonna tease her so bad with that...
"I'm going to do a simple memory scan to see if your magnificent claim is true or not... and please don't call me that..." The man nodded and closed his eyes, Celestia then placed her horn on his head and began her scan.
I walked over to Twilight who now was dry heaving. I patted her on the back as what little she had in her stomach left was released.
"H-H-How c-can a c-c-creature k-kill an-nother l-l-like that?" She said as she looked up at me.
She had tears in her eyes and was crying. I gently hugged her. "My people have been doing it for thousands of years now and we still can't figure it out. Just try not to think about it, okay?" She nodded and hugged me back.
"By the way *sniff * what did the Princesses want? And who was that other human?" She asked looking over at the group.
"Well... It'd be easier if the Princesses explained it cause right now I have no idea what's going on." I said as we watched the Princess continue her scan.
My eyelids began to get heavy. 'Wow... I just realized how tired I am'
"Hey Twilight?"
"Hmm... Yes Deckard?" She asked.
"Wake me up when it's over... okay?" And with that last word I passed out.
I know you may be confused... I was too. But don't worry. I will edit the next chapters well enough that it is not confusing at ALL. The old author of this story made it confusing because he said he couldn't concentrate well enough because of other business... don't worry... I keep my word when I say I'll try my hardest to make this story even more awesome!

Chapter 7: All is explained...
I awoke to the barely audible hum of the princess's magic going off. I stretched and yawned as I studied the area I took my much needed nap in. We were in a clearing in the forest. The area was calm, almost tranquil. I attempted to sit up to notice that Twilight had fallen asleep on me as well.
'Do these ponies try to be this damn adorable?' I thought as I gently picked her up and placed her on the soft grass.
I walked over to the princesses to see that they, well Celestia anyway, were still conducting the search. Luna on the other hand looked like she hadn't even blinked the entire time.
"You okay princess?" I asked the lunar goddess.
She flinched and turn to me. She started to nod then she slowly shook her head no, jumped up and grabbed me. I started to freak out until I noticed she was crying onto my shoulder. Me being the caring one of my little group of survivors I gently hugged back as she let the rivers of tears pour from her eyes.
"Shhh...it's alright." She slowly calmed down. She was still crying, but not as much. "Better?" She simply nodded and raised her head.
"I'll be fine... Thank you for all the support you have shown...." She then realized she was still holding me and blushed. Quickly jumping away from me she regained her composer. "Now. Is there something you needed?"
I nodded and spoke "Yes actually. I was wondering how long these thing usually take."
"Well..." She began "They usually only take a hour or two, but this is highly unusual. From what I can see my sister is scanning absolutely everything in this man's mind." I nodded as the princess continued to watch her sister.
"Princess?"
"Yes Deckard?"
"Can you tell me why this man claimed he was your father?" She slightly stiffened and drew a quick breath.
As she relaxed she nodded and gestured over to the same tree I was recently resting on. We calmly and quietly walked over and sat.
"Okay Deckard. What I'm about to tell you must not leave this forest nor your lips if questioned." She gave me the most piercing gaze I have ever had in my life, but it wasn't fear giving like Fluttershy's.
I quickly nodded to make that gaze stop. She then let out a pent up sigh and began her tale.
"Long ago when Celestia and I were no more than foals there were more alicorns than just us. Only two more to be precise. They were our parents. We were very happy. The subjects adored them and praise them. Then when Celestia became of age to take the throne something terrible happened. Our parents had seen a great evil emerge on the land and were forced to take up arms against it. Causing a great war. To this day we know not what the evil was exactly. All we did know was how the creature had... had..." She began to tear up again.
I gently scooted over and rubbed her neck. She flinched slightly at the contact, but didn't mind it. I nodded for her to continue and she took a shallow breath.
"How the beast had managed to take our parents, I'll never know... I was still but a foal so I hardly even knew their faces. Still it was tragic, but before they left they placed a note on our bed saying if they did not return to do the spell inscribed in the note. Celestia almost immediately did the spell. The spell it self was easy, but strangely it took a surprising amount of magic. After Celestia completed the spell there was a strange creature standing in the middle of the floor looking as dazed and confused as we were. It was him." She stopped and pointed to the man being scanned. I nodded. "At first he was scared as was Celestia. She thought she messed the spell up and summoned a monster. Celestia had started to back up while I simply walked over to the strange creature."
I quickly raised a hand. "Wait your telling me that you simply WALKED to a strange creature WITHOUT your sister?!" I was truly flabbergasted by the statement.
"Well I was only a foal. I didn't know better." She defended. I thought for a second and nodded in agreement.
"I guess make that makes sense. Please go on." I replied.
"Anyway.... As I walked over to it and said 'hi!'. He seemed very confused and scared at the same time. He had began to walk backwards. Sadly he stepped on a book or other inanimate object and tripped. He managed to hit his head pretty bad, so when he stopped moving I began to worry and attempted to help him. Celestia was very scared and was going to forbid me from helping it until she saw blood starting to pool around his head. With much convincing and threat against his well being she fixed him up. When he awoke he was extremely grateful, but still confused by why he was here. When Celestia explained instead of freaking out he rejoiced. He had apparently made some bad investments and was going to lose his home, job, everything. The spell had brought him to the dimension we were in. He became our new caretaker. After a while we began calling him our father. He was always with us... there to help us. Until discord came. He caused chaos all over Equestria and he took our father from us. Seeing this I guess he sent him back in a different set time. Because from what we know about human lifespans... he couldn't live five thousand years."
"So when Discord sent him back... he sent him into the same time as the outbreak... wait..." I began thinking if they were connected somehow, but pushed the thoughts from my mind.
"Strange... well... may I know his name?" I asked.
"If I remember correctly his name is Grey."
'Kind of a dark name... heh... dark...' I thought.
Before I could ask anymore questions the light hum of magic stopped and both Luna and I turned our heads. Celestia was staring at Grey and he was doing the same right back. I honestly thought that she was going to vaporize him right there until she practically hug-tackled him to the floor crying the entire time. Luna soon joined them in the hugs and tears. I simply sat there watching the sight. It was bringing all my old memories back. My dad and me going shooting for the first time. My mom making her world famous biscuits and gravy with bacon. My brothers and me playing video games all day long. All my old friends and family.... then I remembered I no longer have a family...
I couldn't hold it anymore the tears fell from my eyes like water falls. Although my sobs were silent somehow the small group of happy people and ponies heard them.
"Hey pal what's wrong?" Asked Grey.
I looked up and saw him sitting up with his daughters sitting on both of his sides. I let out a pained smile and replied.
"I'm fine thanks for asking. I just need to be alone for a little bit." I got up and began to walk away from them.
I thought I heard one of the princesses get up, but sat down after a few seconds. I entered the forest and walked for about five minutes until I heard a very distinct growl behind me. Now one thing you should know about me. When I have any type of negative emotion, meaning anger, sadness, etc, you don't fuck with me. I turned to see a very large lion with wings and a scorpion tail.
"You wanna go? THEN LET'S GO MOTHER FUCKER!!" I had about 3 years of pent up anger and depression to let loose and since there were no zombies around this.... thing, It will have to do. I let out a battle cry and charged the thing.
Alright... there is ONE more chapter after this... then any chapter released afterward is 100% mine! So get pumped! Also... I want to know... how am I doing with the story so far? Is it better... worse... the same... what? Let me know in the comments below!

Since I have begun to feel better... I decided I should get off my ass and start making chapters... so... I did!
Chapter 8: A Fight or Flight?
I rushed the giant lion-bat-scorpion thing and got batted away like a toy. I hit a tree hard. By now my adrenalin was pumping and I ignored the loud cracks I heard upon impact.
I looked around for a moment before finding a semi-large rock with a jagged edge. I reached over and picked it up and held it in my right hand while taunting with my left.
"COME AND GET ME YOU PUSSY CAT!!" I bellowed as I charged the thing again.
The monster snorted in annoyance and raised it's paw again. I smiled wide as I saw this and gripped the rock even tighter. As the paw came down I slashed at it with the jagged rock causing blood to splatter all over my face and ground around me. The monster cried out in agony as it saw the massive gash bleeding profusely in its right paw. A angry frown appeared and it let out a roar. It took a few steps back and raised it's tail. The tail came down with almost terrifying speeds. I dove to the left barely avoiding the tail's stinger. I did a quick roll and turned around. Before I could turn completely my right thigh was met with a powerful blow. I flew a few feet ntil I slid to a stop. Even with the adrenalin I could still feel the pain from that blow. I shook it off and stood. I looked at the creature. It bowed it's head and brushed it's good paw against the dirt. I got into charging stance and we both stood there. A moment later I heard a twig snap setting off my senses. I began running as did it.
'This thing can kill me in an instant... why do I keep fighting it....'
I thought as I neared it.
'I'm not sure... But I have to get rid of that stinger before It hits me'
As I finished that thought I quickly ducked avoiding it's swinging right paw. I jumped to the left avoiding it's stinger but this time I ducked again. Avoiding another paw. As I did I stood up with the rock and slashed at it's arm. It let out a howl of pain and attempted to bite me. I dove forward and underneath it and stood up from behind it. Before It could turn around I cut at the tail. It's stinger came clean off and shot greenish liquid everywhere. Some landed on my shirt and began to smoke. I took off the shirt and looked on. But I let my guard down as I noticed it laying on the ground.
'I guess losing the stinger must be fatal'
The victorious smile I once had slowly left my face as I saw what I had done in my fit of depression and rage. A frown was soon shown as I saw what I had done. To make matters worse a small pup/cub/ whatever you call a baby loin-bat-scorpion thing came out of the brush running to it's now crumpled mess of a mother. My heart sank as the mother used a messed up paw to bring the small(you know what I am calling them cubs) cub close to it. It's face adorned what looked like a smile as it saw the small creature safe and sound. The cub began to paw at it's mother in a attempt to get her up. The mother only sighed as the last of her life began to slip away.
Tears formed in my eyes as I saw what I had done. I dropped the rock I had and walked over to the slowly dying creature. It began to growl only to turn that into a groan of pain. As I neared closer even the cub got in front of me and began hissing wildly. I got down to it's height and spoke softly.
"Look I'm not going to hurt your mamma any more okay? I just wanna say something to her." The thing only kept hissing at me with it's wings and tail raised defensibly.
Shaking my head I gently grabbed it by the scruff of it's neck and lifted it off the ground. Then I turned to the creature lying before me. It was glaring daggers at me.
"Hey... I'm sorry for doing this to you... I never meant to hurt anything. When I get mad I just kinda..." I began to trail off but shook my head and looked back at the dieing mother.
She had a look of confusion and sadness in her features now. I sighed. "I'm really sorry... If I had realized what I was doing..." I stopped for a moment and took a look back at the little cub.
It had it's head down. I gave a short breath and continued.. "And now the cub has to pay for it...." As I finished I began to whisper. "I wish there was more I could do."
The creature began to look deep in thought and looked at me. As I wasn't paying attention I felt a pain in my arm. I looked over and noticed one of her talons cut my arm as we sat there. At first I was mad but then I noticed the color of it. The talon was a strange black color. And it was spreading in my arm. I gave the mother a curious look and noticed something that almost looked like a... smile... Then the creature began to breath strangely causing the cub to panic. It ran straight to it's mother and began crying out in sadness. In one final attempt to make amends I sat down by the beast and gently began to stroke its mane.
Surprisingly it worked. The monster began to purr before letting out another strangled cough. I closed my eyes as the last of it's breath slowly left it's body. I even let out a few tears as I heard the wails of the cub. The cub cried for what I thought was hours, but in reality it was only a few minutes. I attempted to remove it from it's mother and bring it somewhere where it can be taken care of, only to get scratches from it's claws.
I was seriously considering just leaving the rotten little cub there to fend for it's self, but being the totally nice person I am I couldn't let myself do that. The little cub had finally cried itself to the point of exhaustion. I sighed in relief and picked the cub up. Holding the cub much like you would a cat, I back tracked my way out of the forest.
'This.....this is going to be a bit of a pain to explain to Fluttershy.....' I thought as I walked.

I soon reached the clearing where a, yet again, worried Twilight, Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, and a mister Grey met me. As I walked in I just noticed that I was absolutely COVERED in blood. Also I had a cub in my arms and an arm that had black veins running through it. Twilight saw me, gasped, and ran towards me.
"OH MY CELESTIA WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!?!?" Yelled Twilight.
"What are you talking about? I'm fi- OH!" Said Celestia who began running to me with Luna and Grey.
"AND WHAT IS THIS!?!?" Said Twilight when she came to the black veins in my arm.
"If you calm down Twilight I will tell you. AND you guys if you wanna hear it!" I said to the group. They all nodded and sat down in front of me.
I DID have to make Twilight sit as she wouldn't peacefully without looking at my arm. SO I made her sit. I told her she can later.
"Well it started when I walked into the forest...." I began my tale and told them of what happened....

Here is the moment where the story is fully my own! Everything from here is original from me. So I hope you like it all the same.
Chapter 9: Clearing things up
I was sitting down on the ground with my legs crossed, Manticore cub on my lap, finishing my story.
"... and so I cut off the stinger. I had turned around and noticed it was laying on the ground, which is when I had realized what I was doing. That's also when I met this little guy here." I said as I lightly stroked the head of the sleeping cub.
I looked up to the group to notice a mixture of reactions. Grey was looking at me with a curious look. The same look someone would use if you had done something incredible, and they were trying to figure out how you possibly did it.
Celestia and Luna were sharing mixes of disgust, and intrigue, which didn't settle to well for me. Twilight was just sitting taking notes of everything I said. Occasionally looking up and focusing on details of the cub, and probably my arm as well.
We all sat in silence for a few more moments, even though nothing else really had to be said. I began to feel awkward when Twilight closed her notebook and raised her hoof.
"Well... could I take a look at your arm now? I would really like to study it, I have never seen venom do that before." She said tilting her head. "Usually it just kills you."
That grabbed my attention. "O-oh? Well.. I suppose you can look at it then." I said with a half-assed smile.
She stood up and sat next to me where she lit up her horn and encased my arm in a purple glow. While she did her thing I looked down at the sleeping cub, then back up to the Princesses. I noticed they had their backs turned and were talking low to each other. Then they stopped and turned around.
Celestia coughed. "Well, I would just like to tell you that this act of violence does not sit well with us." She said looking at the cub.
Then Luna began. "And therefore it does require punishment." She said as she looked at her sister.
'Gah fuck'
"However..." Celestia said raising her hoof. "I can forget your punishment if you do these few things for us." She said smiling.
"Yeah, sure what would you want me to do?" I asked nodding.
Luna stepped forward. "We would like you to take care of this cub as if it was your own kin. Nurse it to a more mature age, then release it."
I nodded again. 'Sounds easy enough, was planning on it anyway'
Then Celestia began talking, "In addition, if you are not lying about your fight, and I'm sure you are not..." She said pausing to scan my eyes, "Then I would like you to accept my offer to join Ponyville's armed guard forces." She said smiling.
I blinked out of surprise. "Come again?" I asked.
"Of course you will be given free training, if you so choose to accept, and you will be titled as a peacekeeper of Ponyville." She said in a strong tone.
'Me? A Peacekeeper? That does not sound like a good idea... one does not simply go from zombie fighting to peaceful arresting' Think to myself, while scratching some stubble beginning to form on my chin.
I sighed. "I accept your offer... however I'm curious. What would be the punishment for this sort of thing if I had declined?" I asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Oh.... uh... around 15 years dungeon?" Said Celestia in a normal tone.
"FIFTEEN YEARS?!" I said while slapping my mouth shut with my free arm.
I looked down at the cub and noticed it was still sleeping.
'Whew... heavy sleeper, just like me' I thought with relief.
Celestia nodded. "Yes, 15 years. We don't take to kindly to unnecessary killing of any animals. However we have noticed that your kind will need to do that now and again to stay well sustained." She said looking in my eyes.
I laughed a bit. "Heh... yeah... only now and then though. But let's not worry about that right now." I said looking to Twilight.
"So Doc? Will I live?" I said with a smile.
Twilight blushed and nodded. "Yes, you will be fine, the venom is dissipating. I still find it strange though." She said standing up.
I shrugged. "Meh, I'll live. So, what happened while I was gone?" I asked looking at the group.
Grey spoke up first. "She finished her scan on me, and had come to the conclusion that I was telling the truth." He said looking to Celestia.
I smiled and held out my hand. "Well we might as well make this official, hi, my name is Deckard." I said smiling.
He took my hand and shook it. "Mine is grey." He said smiling.
Then he made one of those devilish smiles. "And those two adorable mares are my daughters." He said motioning to the Princesses.
Celestia immediately widened her eyes while Luna got a GIANT blush on her face. We all started laughing, except the princesses, they were downright embarrassed. Before I had realized how loud we were being I heard a noise causing us all to stop and look down at the cub. It was trying to make itself as small as possible in my lap while hissing ans swiping at everyone else.
Twilight jumped back just in time to miss a sting from it's tail. I looked at it and raised a finger. "No! That's bad!" I said to it.
It tilted it's heads at my words and looked at my arm where it had been affected by the venom. It calmed down and made a low growl noise I felt against my chest. It sunk into my lap and put it's head on it's paws while it's ears drooped. The same thing a dog would do after getting into trouble.
It was to adorable, especially the ponies reactions to it. They all tilted their heads and smiled. Meanwhile grey just rolled his eyes.
Twilight walked back over to me. "by the way, you can't sleep in the library tonight." Said Twilight.
I gave her a questionable look. "What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well, Celestia told me she needs room in the library for... something...." She said looking confused herself.
I just nodded in understanding.
"Well, think that we should start heading back? Because I need to find a way to explain this to Fluttershy." I said with fake confidence.
Twilight opened her eyes wide. "Ohhh.... your in trouble." She said laughing a bit.
I stood up and put the cub down. It started walking close beside me so close I had nearly tripped over it.
"What do you mean? It can't be THAT bad... can it?" I asked Twilight while turning my head to her.
She put on a poker face. "You DO remember the last bad thing she did to you.... right?" She said looking back at me.
I thought for a moment and went pale.
'Oh fuck....' I thought as we exited the forest.

Chapter 10: Visions
As we exited the forest I couldn't help but noticed we had walked pretty much into Fluttershy's backyard. I felt a pinch of panic make it's way into my expression. We started walking towards her house, nearer and nearer. I was trying to think of all the different things I could say, but they all ended with, "I killed a Manticore."
I gave a sigh and picked up the pace. 'Might as well get this over with' I thought as we rounded the house and came towards the front door.
Well me and Grey did, the rest said their goodbye's and headed into a different direction. For a moment I just looked at Grey in confusion.
"If she is as bad as you say she is, allow me to help." Said grey with a smile.
I looked next to me and smiled. "O-oh... ok.... but, how?" I asked him.
"I can be very persuasive." He said smiling.
He knocked on the door and waited. A few moments later it opened and Fluttershy walked out and looked at Grey.
"Oh, hello there." She said to him.
Before we had a chance to say anything else, the little Manticore cub took a step closer to Fluttershy. She looked down at it and gasped. She flew forward and began petting it as it purred out loudly.
'Suck up...' As I thought that I swear it turned to me with an annoyed look.
"Where did you find her?" She said landing on the ground next to is, continuing to pet it.
I shook my head and began speaking. "Better question is, how can you just walk up to it and pet it like it's a baby kitty, when it nearly cut Twilight open and tried to sting me? AND you know it's a she?" I asked Fluttershy.
She looked up to me. "Oh... I'm just good with animals, and for Manticore cubs, females have a much lighter coat than males." She said smiling.
Grey leaned over to me and whispered in my ear. "THIS is what you are scared of?" He asked with a smile.
"Looks can be VERY fucking deceiving dude..." I whisper back.
He lifted an eyebrow causing me to roll my eyes. "I see a scorpion lion thing purring like a cat, you shouldn't trust looks around here...." I finished.
He thought for a moment and nodded. He cleared his throat.
"Um... Miss Fluttershy is it?" He asked.
"Just Fluttershy is fine." She said smiling.
He nodded. "We have some news to tell you, we hear that you are very fond of animals, and do not like it when... one is harmed..." He said.
She nodded in agreement. "Oh yes... I try to do what I can to protect them."
"Yes well... my friend Deckard here...." He said motioning to me, "Had a little... moment of his. And he ended up killing one of the Manticores, that cubs mother to be exact." He said looking at Fluttershy for a reaction.
She blinked once then looked at me with a little bit of sadness. "You killed it?" She asked.
I nodded slowly.
"But..." Began Grey. "He would like to apologize. He was very angry for some reason, and it is Human nature, especially with our combat skills always at the ready, as we were hardwired to be ready for battle in an instant where we came from." He finished.
Fluttershy looked straight into my eyes, causing my to nearly flinch. But this was different. The kind of look a friend gives you when you know that it is your last chance. And if you break the promise, it's over.
I nodded to Fluttershy and she nodded back. We were at an agreement.
"Well... I think I should leave. I need to find where I will be sleeping for the night, as I don't have an injury this time heh..." I said laughing at my own joke.
Fluttershy thought for a moment. "Well, I could let you stay here for the night if you promised to go look for someway to make money in the morning. Then you could maybe rent out a hotel." She said smiling.
"Well, I actually already have a job. Celestia and Luna had offered me a job to be the towns Peacekeeper." I said smiling.
"Oh... that's a big job, and where will you be staying....." She paused.
"Grey, just call me Grey, and the Princesses are letting me stay in the Canterlot castle." He said smiling.
'Spoiled dad...?' I though with a smirk.
"Speaking of which they are probably waiting for me, I'll catch ya latter." He said waving as he walked away.
I waved back, along with Fluttershy. When he was a reasonable distance away I turned to Fluttershy, she motioned me inside.
I walked in and looked around. "Wow, you have a lot of animals in here." I said while I looked at every little birdcage and mouse-hole.
I looked forward and noticed her standing on the stairs in the house. "Yes, I like to care for every animal." She said as she looked at the Manticore cub beside me. "Follow me, I'll show you where you can stay." She said as she started walking up the stairs.
I walked up the stairs with the cub close behind me. I reached the top and noticed three doors, one was probably her room, and one must be the bathroom if I had to guess. I turned to my left and walked towards the third door which was open and looked inside. Fluttershy was pulling back the covers on an actually decently sized bed. I walked forward smiling.
"I really can't thank you enough Fluttershy, this is so kind of you." I said to her.
She nodded, "Oh it's alright, after all, you are going to be protecting Ponyville. Least I could do is give you a place to sleep for the night." She said smiling warmly.
She walked towards the door and began to close it, just before it shut she looked inside. "Goodnight." She said.
I waved back. "Goodnight." And the door closed.
I stripped down to my boxers and got under the covers of the bed. As I let my head rest on the pillow I felt the cub jump onto the bed. She sniffed around for a moment before laying down. On my chest. Needless to say she was quite heavy, but after a few minutes I felt myself getting drowsy. A few more minutes... and I let sleep take me.
********************************
*BANG*
A loud explosion fills my ears as I awake in fright, knocking the Manticore cub off me. I look around and notice a window I don't remember being there. I run to it and finally reach it after what felt like endless running. I opened it and looked out. I stared on in horror at what I saw. Ponies running for their lives from..... humans? And not just humans, PONIES too?
"What is going on??" I say aloud.
I make my way out of the house and outside. I can hear the screams filling the air. I turn and notice a big group of them walking towards me, mixed up between ponies and humans. But they were not normal. Not one bit.
I stared on in horror as a single phrase filled my mind.
"And so the plague shall consume all, until none are left..."
As I finished that thought one of the infected leaped at me....
**************************************
"NOOOO!" I scream out as I shoot upright, throwing the Manticore cub off my chest and onto my legs.
I panic and look around me, noticing nothing out of the ordinary. I started to regulate my breathing.
"Come on Deckard, get a hold of yourself. Your safe now, that will never happen to this world. You came here in a PORTAL. They can't hunt you anymore." I said to myself.
But somewhere deep down, I didn't believe it.
"Are you alright?" I heard Fluttershy say through the door.
"Yeah, just a bad dream, I'll be up in a minute, just need to put on my...." I cut off my sentence as I look at where I had put my clothes.
Only scraps remain. I turn to the cub and looked at her claws, then into her eyes.
"Seriously...." I say poker faced.

Chapter 11: Shit hits the fan
I began to look around the room for something to wear. All I had on were my boxers and there was no way in hell I was walking around Ponyville in my boxers. I continued searching until I came to only one possibility. I stripped the bed of it's sheet and draped it over myself like a robe. To hold it in place I tied a bit of a knot. After I finished tying it I turned to the cub and lifted a finger.
"Heh... don't let me catch you doing that again... or there will be hell to pay." I said shaking my finger at the cub.
I turned back around to the door of the room and walked up to it. I opened the door and walked through into a strange smell.
"What is that smell...." I asked myself as I took a sniff.
As I analyzed the smell in the air the cub ran past me and down the stairs.
"Hey! Come back here! You don't know what it might be!" I yell at it following it down the stairs.
I reach the bottom and the scent becomes stronger where, against my better judgment, I follow it. I walk into a kitchen and hear the sound of metal objects clinging together. I look around and notice where the smell was coming from. Fluttershy has been cooking.... something on a pan, while the manticore cub was scratching it's claws against the stove.
I ran forward and pulled it away. "Oops sorry, he kind of got away from me." I said staring down at the cub in annoyance.
"It's alright, do you want some breakfast? I made some pancakes." She said turning and looking at me.
"Pancakes? Those sound familiar, I would love to accept as it IS me and it IS food, but I think I have to get going and find out what the princesses want me to do." I said with a smile.
She nodded back. "Alright, but promise me you will eat soon, I'm not sure of your kinds eating habits, but you are bigger than us, so don't be starving yourself if somepony offers you something to eat." She says smiling.
I nod back with a smile. "Alright deal, I'll see you later, come on... uh..." I said thinking.
'I haven't even given the cub a name yet'
Fluttershy looked at the cub. "Oh it's alright, she can stay here with me until you find a place to stay. I can train her and teach her to be good." She said petting the cub.
I nodded and began walking towards the door. "Alright thanks!"
I walk out the door and take in one last sniff of the heavenly aroma.
'Remind me to slap myself with a fish for not accepting free food....' I thought to myself as I began my walk through Ponyville.
I got to the border of Ponyville when I realized something, I have no idea how to get around this place. I have no map, and no general idea of where everything is. I take a quick look around and notice a large building in the distance with a red cross on it.
"Well at least I know what THAT is." I say to myself.
I start a decent jog in the direction, deciding I need the workout since I haven't really been doing much lately... well besides killing a manticore. After about three minutes of jogging I reached the front doors to the hospital. I pushed them open and walked through them and up to the main desk.
"Hello there, I was wondering if you could maybe give me directions around the town. Or maybe give me a map?" I asked the pony at the desk.
She looked up and me and gave a bit of a surprised look for a moment. "Oh... yes here." She said as she levitated a folded up piece of paper to me.
I took it and unfolded it to get a better look.
"There is a full map of Ponyville, would you like one for Canterlot too?" She asked nicely.
"No I'm fine, I should be going." I said waving. "Oh! Wait." I said turning around. "Have any of my friends woken up yet?" I asked hoping for the best.
She shook her head. "No not yet, but their conditions are very stable and looking at their statistics, they should be up in the next day or so." She finished.
I nodded. "Alright thanks." I said turning and walking out the doors.
'I hate being so fucking polite! But I have to... they are after all just ponies..... plus they have magic and I'm not sure what they can do with it yet, so best try to stay calm and collected....' I thought to myself as I opened up the map.
"Alright... if I walk this way.... turn here.... no no... ah here we go." I finish as I press my finger against a picture of a large tree.
'Twilight said the princesses needed to do something there, so they may still be there.'
I began walking through town with the rout that I had chosen. It was a bit difficult because there were a lot of areas in the town not on the map. My guess was they haven't updated it in a while.
'Makes sense, everyone here probably knows this place inside and out'
After minutes of walking I began to approach the large library like tree thingy and stopped at the door. I thought for a moment about what they could possibly be doing but pushed it out of my mind and opened the door. In an instant I was at a loss for breath. I looked around the tree house and sitting on random tables were assorted guns and weaponry. But not just any weaponry.... MY weaponry....
I looked to my right and picked up my M9 Beretta and dove forward to the nearest pony levitating a rifle and pointed it at his head.
"You have exactly three seconds to explain what in the FUCK is going on!" I shout tightening my grip on the trigger.
"One..."

Shit hit's the fan [Aftermath]
Chapter 12: Shit hits the fan [Aftermath]
As I pushed the gun harder against the unicorns head everypony turned to me in awe and dropped whatever they had.
"Two...." I say tightening my grip on my gun.
"Alright alright! Just please put the weapon down!" Yelled out a voice from behind me.
I quickly dropped the gun from his head and pointed at the door. "Anypony but Twilight and the princesses should leave NOW before I actually turn the safety off this gun...." I order as I stand up and flip the safety switch. *Click* "Now...."
In a matter of moments every single pony went running out the front door and some even gliding off the balcony. Taking in a deep breath I slowly turned around and faced Twilight along with the Princesses.
"Deckard what was tha-" Celestia begins but is quickly cut off as I shoot the gun out the open door and into the sky, making her drop dead quiet.
"One... rule..." I said motioning with the gun. "If all else goes to hell... there is ALWAYS... ONE RULE....." I said looking back at the ponies. "And you all just broke it...." I finished staring daggers into Celestia's eyes.
After a long silence Celestia speaks up. "Deckard, I don't know what your talking about... but this was just ridiculous! You just threatened one of my little ponies! This is not your world so the rules are different." She yelled back with anger.
I looked back at her with every emotion that could hit me at that time. "Celestia...." I began as I continued my cold stare. "On my world.... there are no more rules, on MY world everything is much MUCH different.... on my world someone can kill another for LOOKING at them funny. I KNOW this world is different. But one rule stands and always will until the end of time." I say pausing. "NEVER FUCKING TOUCH A MANS ARSENAL!" I yell to the heavens.
I swear I almost caused Celestia to flinch there. She shook her head and began. "Deckard... please calm down... there is no need to get upset." She began in a motherly tone. "Just put the gun down." She asked me carefully.
I looked at her with a wild expression. "Oh this?" I said tossing it. "Yeah that gun only had one bullet in it." I said with a tear going down my face. "And only one, I never used it, I always kept it...." I said trailing off. 'Just in case...'
Finally snapping out of it Luna took a step forward. "Deckard... what is it.... is there something your not telling us?" She asked getting closer.
For a moment... I wanted to let loose and tell them everything... but they are just ponies, and they are pure. I had already told Twilight enough, even if it wasn't all of it.
"Please... we can help." Spoke Luna as she got closer and went to my side draping a wing over me.
Shaking my head I answered. "No... no it is my past, and I will let it die with me, I can't tell you, I don't want to hurt you..." I finished pushing her wing off.
I may be the last person who would ever be nice to anyone... but I will be damned if I am the one who hurts the minds of the pure without good reason' I thought to myself.
"Just.... put all the weapons somewhere safe, and after that, DO NOT TOUCH THEM... I... need to go..." I finished turning around and walking to the door. Along the way I saw a revolver on the floorboards. Quickly glancing behind myself and making sure nopony saw, I swooped down and grabbed it, walking out with it under my shirt.
I ran out of the town and up a grassy hill that had a tree resting at the top. As I reached the top I sat down and looked on at the grassy fields that seemed to stretch on forever. I pulled the gun out and pulled out the cylinder looking at the bullets in the revolving mechanism. 3 shots. I emptied it and put one in, then spun it, and put another in. After the third spin I put the last shot in.
'I really can't fucking take it anymore... maybe I should have done this a long time ago' I said as I lined up a bullet and brought it up to my head.
A moment before firing I hesitated and pulled it back giving a bit of a smile. 'I'll let fate decide...' I thought to myself as I stood up with the gun. 'Fair chance... 50-50... either I leave the land of the living forever....' I thought as I quickly swiped my hand on the cylinder, causing it to quickly spin. 'Or I stay... and try to live on, despite the past' I concluded as I brought the gun up to my head.
*Click* The gun rang out as it hit an empty chamber.
I smiled and dropped the gun. 'Well... I guess that's that'
Quickly turning around I noticed two things. One, Twilight who was standing directly behind me, and two, she had a look of complete relief on her face.
"O-oh Twilight... I uh... didn't see you there." I said scratching my neck.
Blinking, she shook her head and spoke up. "I... came to talk to you. About what happened. I didn't say anything while we were there... I didn't know what to say..." She said, pausing a moment. "But I do want to say I'm sorry, I didn't know that's what they were doing, and when I got there I was talking to her about it when you walked in."
"It's alright... come, sit." I said sitting down and motioning beside me.
After a moment of silence she makes her way beside me and sits down. I continue to look at the fields when I notice her staring at me.
Turning to her I open my mouth. "Yes?" I said smiling.
She looked away and began. "Well... I just wanted to ask... when you said you only had one bullet in it... was that for...." She said looking at me.
"Yes... it was." I said nodding. "But I could never bring myself to do it... even with the whole world crumbling around me, I just couldn't do it." I said squinting my eyes as if trying to piece together an explanation.
Moments of silence followed after I finished my statement. Finally Twilight interrupts the silence in a unprepared fashion. She leans over and gives me a big hug. I look down at her in surprise as she gave out a sigh.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know your world was so bad, everypony there sounds just terrible... when you told me about what happened and about some virus I didn't think you meant your whole world was effected by it..." She said as I wrapped my arms around her returning the hug. "Nopony should have to deal with so much pain..." She said pushing away and looking at me.
Shaking my head I look back into her eyes. "Yeah... tell that to the billions of people who died without reason...." I said as I mentally slapped myself in the face.
She looked at my with a mix of curiosity and confusion. "Wha-what do you mean...?" She asked tilting her head.
"Nothing let's just drop this, it's all in the past now. There is nothing we can do that hasn't already been done." I said as I slowly stood up.
If she was about to say anything she was cut off when the gun that was sitting on my lap fell to the ground with a loud clang. As she looked down at it she closed her eyes.
"When I came up here I saw you with that thing against your head. I was scared you were going to do something bad... but before I could do anything, I heard it was empty... but you scared the life out of me." She said as she looked away.
I quickly snatched the gun up and hid it in my shirt. "Yeah I'm sorry about that..." I began, "But Twilight, I have a question." I said as she looked back at me.
"I'll answer if you answer mine." She answered back.
"Ugh... fine..." I say back say back with a sigh. "Why do you keep trying to help me? I'm fucked until the end, no matter what I do I will always be like this and will never change. So... why do you keep trying to help me..." I say back with curiosity.
She gets up and walks to me, resting a hoof on my leg. "Because that's what friends do..." She said smiling. "And... when you said everything that's already been done... did you ever find a way to fix anything?" She asked with a look of hope in her eyes.
"Yes... we did..." I say turning around. "We found the only way we could take back our world." No matter how long it would take.
"And what's that?" She asked trotting beside me as we walked back into town.
Pulling out my gun I lifted it to my head. "A headshot."

Chapter 13: 'Fitting' In
Twilight looked back at me in horror as I let the gun fall to my side as I put it back under my shirt and out of sight. We continued to walk for a little while until something came to mind.
"Aw hell, hey Twilight, think I can meet all of your friends today? I have really nothing else to do. I AM supposed to be the peacekeeper here but I haven't actually been told what to do yet. I have yet to actually PROPERLY meet your friends." I questioned Twilight as we walked.
Nodding she spoke up. "Yeah that's a great idea, come, follow me. We can all go to Rarity's, we always meet up there today anyway. We can go there early." Twilight finished changing course.
"Alright then." I chipped in following her.
'I also REALLY do NOT want to go back to the library, just in case Celestia is still there' I thought to myself as I nearly passed out. 'Holy shit....'
"Holy shit...." I said aloud getting Twilight's attention.
"What is it?" She asked tilting her head as we walked.
"I just realized that I basically just said 'Fuck you' to the ruler of this place AND the one who gave me a job... oh I am sooooooo fired." I said chuckling. 'In more ways than one...' I thought to myself as I recalled her cutie mark.
"I'm sure she will forgive you. They were after all your weapons, even if they were kind of dangerous to have around I'm sure she can understand your anger." Twilight adds in as we near a weird looking building.
Twilight takes a few steps ahead as we near the door and knocks a few times.
*Knock knock knock!*
After a few moments you could hear a sing along voice ring out as the door opened and out stepped the singer.
"Welcome to Carousel Boutique! Where eve-" She stops herself as she opens the door to see Twilight. "Twilight! Nice to see you! And early as well!" She said aloud as she walked up and hugged Twilight. Noticing me she turned to look at me. "And you must be Deckard, I do recognize you from when we had that incident at the library with spike. But we never got to be introduced." She said as she straightened her posture. "My name is Rarity, and I run this fine establishment you see here. I make beautiful dresses and repair other clothing whenever the need arises." She finished as she gave a nice smile.
Nodding my head I looked back down at her, meeting her gaze. "Yes I mentioned we should meet, because we never got properly introduced, " I said as I kneeled down and lifted her hoof. "My name is Deckard and I am a human from another dimension." I finished as I planted a light kiss on her hoof.
'I wasn't the most mannered person in the world, but when it came to meeting a true lady or anyone of a manner such as Rarity's, I always treated them with respect... as taught to me by my mother...' I remembered as I stood back up from the blushing unicorn.
"Also I must add, this place looks.... really neat. I haven't seen a building quite like it before." I added looking at it.
And I hadn't, I swear it looked fucking WEIRD.
Shaking her head a bit she turned to Twilight. "Twilight you never told me how mannered your friend was!" She added as she motioned us inside.
"I have never seen him do that before..." Twilight said eying me up.
Raising my hands in a defensive manner I spoke up. "Hey, I was brought up to always respect a lady." I said as I looked around. "And that's not really you Twilight." I said as she looked a bit embarrassed.
"Oh is that so...." She replied obviously irritated.
Shaking my head I tried to patch this up before it got out of hand. "No, I treat her like that because I see her as a lady. I treat you how I do because I see you as a friend, someone I can just go say hi to or act how I want to act and we are still happy." I said smiling at her.
She perked up a bit pleased with the answer. "Oh well... when you put it like that I guess." She replies as she walks to one of the couches in the building.
"Wow, you have a lot of cool stuff here. How much would it be to get you to make something for me?" I asked hatching an idea.
"Oh my usual fee is usually dependent on the quality you want. But since you are one of my friends now, not to mention such a gentlecolt, I can accept a request from you. Why what did you need?" She asked walking towards me.
I looked at her with amazement in my eyes. "Wow really? Are you sure? Cause some of the stuff here looks really expensive."
"Oh pish posh, it's alright deary, now what do you need." She asked as she levitated a notepad and pencil.
"Hm...." I hummed aloud as I though of how to go about this. "Do you have any.... eh... leather?" I asked with a awkward smile.
As she slowly drops the notepad and gives me a disgusted look I look away.
"I guess not... anything that can match it's light weight but at the same time strength?" I asked with hope.
"Yes darling I have some materials that can mimic that... uh... kind of stuff. What exactly do you need?" She asked as her pencil neared the notepad.
Having the perfect image in my mind I walked over to the pad. "Uh, may I?" I asked as she happily gave up the notepad.
As I quickly scribbled down a bunch of sketches, scrapping it whenever I got it wrong, I finally came out with the correct design. I could never explain my strange drawing ability, but it just kind of... came to me. As I showed it to her she blinked in surprise and did a double take.
"Wh-what is that? Why would you want something so... scary looking?" She asked in amazement.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm going to be the towns peacekeeper, so I gotta look intimidating, plus it's from one of my favorite video games from a long time ago." I finished as she took the notepad from me. "Oh also, here." I added as I pulled my gun out, removed the bullets, and handed it to her. "It's not a toy so don't play with it. Keep it for measurements. For that holster there. Make it a tiny bit bigger for any other gun to fit nicely." I said pausing for a moment. "Also, I will bring a rifle later to show you it. I want a nice holster for it on my back." I said smiling and waiting for an answer.
After a few moments Rarity finally spoke. "It's not like it will be difficult, but I just need measurements, do you mind?" She said as her horn lit up.
As I shook my head 'no' she shot some blue magic at me. I could feel it line my whole body as it scanned all of my stats. Including my height, and probably my weight. As I saw her blush a bit as she finished the magic a thought came to mind.
'I did tell her what to not scan.... didn't I?' I thought to myself as I went a bit red.
"W-well... I had better go put this... in my study. You can uh.... go and wait on the couch. I will be right back and our other friends should be here soon...." She said as she quickly trotted off.
Shaking the thoughts out of my mind I walked over and sat next to Twilight on a couch. "So, how long until you think everypony will get here?" I asked, trying to make smalltalk while I wait.
"Oh not too much longer, we meet here at the end of every week to get together with our pets." She says smiling at me.
"Where is your pet? I haven't seen one... or are you saying I'm some kind of pet?" I respond, acting hurt.
"What? Oh nononono that's not what I meant it's just...." She fumbles her words trying to make an excuse.
I just bust out laughing. "It's alright twilight... I'm only kidding. But seriously... where is your pet?" I say again as I wipe a tear.
Rolling her eyes, but still giving a slight smile she points out a window. "Oh somewhere out there... Owlicious usually hangs out at the Library later at night." Twilight finishes as she looks at me.
"Owl....icious?" I ask smirking.
"Yes?" She replies tilting her head.
"So... your not kidding.... oh my god Twilight..." I say to myself as I facepalm. 'Oh Christ I knew things had weird names here but come ON'
As we waited a bit longer for all of her friends to show up, I kept thinking about the future, and what my place here will be. 'But either way, I will look badass as hell' I think to myself as the sketch of my future peacekeeping armor floats through my mind.
'There is no way this could backfire...' I concluded in my mind as I heard the front door open.
"Tank wait!" Yelled out a voice as something green propelled towards my head.
*CLUNK*
"Did anyone get the number of that truck..." I moaned out in pain as everything went black.

The definition of partying
Chapter 14: The definition of Partying
"Ugh.... what the.... fuck hit me?" I asked as I rubbed my head.
"Oh girls he's waking up!" Shouted a voice that I could tell was Twilight's.
As I sat myself up I continued to rub my head where I could feel a big welt there. When I sat up completely I opened my eyes and what I saw scared the living hell out of me. 6 pairs of unnaturally large...er eyes at least a foot away from my face. Instantly I kick backwards only to hit the back of my head off a wall.
"Oh for.... well at least the front of my head doesn't hurt anymore...." I groaned with displeasure.
After a moment of awkward silence I decided to open my eyes again, this time to reveal the same set of eyes, only this time attached to visible bodies and MUCH farther away. Rainbow Dash stepped forward and let her ears droop.
"Hey uh... sorry about the whole, 'Knocking you out' thing..... heheh..." She awkwardly stated rubbing the back of her neck.
"Wait YOU did that? Didn't you learn your lesson last time you attacked me?" I said squinting my eyes at her.
"What? Oh that.... no I didn't attack you this time. And it was an accident. It was actually my pet tortoise tank that hit you...." She said with an awkward smile.
I started waving my hand around covering my nose. "Oh? Sorry I'm allergic to bullshit... because how in the hell could a TURTLE-"
"Tortoise." Corrected Fluttershy from behind Rainbow.
I dismissed it with a wave. "Whatever, hit me in the HEAD?" I said pointing at the welt on my head.
As if on cue a tortoise came flying into the room with a weird helicopter propeller thing on it's back.
'Alright.... now I've fucking seen everything' I thought to myself as I scooted to the left dodging one of it's strikes.
"Aaaanyway... other than me getting a concussion.... where are we?" I asked looking around at the room.
All around the room was oldish style nick-knacs and random things here and there. The occasional painting was hung up on the walls and other than a bed and a dresser, nothing else.
A pony stepped forward who looked like she had braided hair and a cowboy hat on. "We're at ma farm. We took ya here just in case ya'll needed help as Fluttershy was pickin' up some apples here and it was faster then goin' to the hospital." She finished as she crossed her front hooves a bit as she stood there.
'Seems fair, probably bad to teleport me there anyway with a possible concussion' I thought to myself, noticing the pain was dieing down.
"Well thanks, my name is Deckard." I stated as I pushed up and off the ground. "Nice to meet you." I finished as I shook the hoof the pony offered me.
"Same here, ma names Applejack." She said tipping her hat a bit when she finished the shake. "And over here are ma friends, most of which ya prolly already met." She mentioned as she motioned to the five ponies behind her.
I recognized them all but one, a particular pink one that seemed to have an unnatural smile adorned on it's face.
"Yeah I know most of you but I just wanted to say that I want to reintroduce myself to most of you, as we kinda got off on the wrong fo... hoof a bit. So..." I paused as I turned to Rainbow Dash, "I just wanted to say sorry for being 'So freaking dense'." I joked as I remembered the hospital incident.
She flew towards me and shrugged. "Ah no problem dude, I'm fine." She said lifting her hoof. As I went to shake it she quickly pulled away. "No I don't do any of that formal stuff." She says as she offers her hoof again.
This time I close my fist and give it a nice bump, getting a small smirk out of her as she flew away.
'Huh... I could get used to her' I thought to myself, 'Maybe...'
"Alright... now the last one I haven't met is that.... pink one.... where the hell did she go?" I questioned looking around the room. "I swear she was right there. You all saw her too right?" I asked them all.
"Oh yeah, that's Pinkie Pie, you'll meet her soon. She is in the barn preparing your late 'Welcome to Ponyville' Party." Answered Twilight as she shook her head, chuckling a bit.
"Wait... party?" I asked with my eyes widening. "You mean, like cake and alcohol and stuff?" I asked getting excited.
"Uh... yeah? Why?" Asked Twilight back.
Before anything else was said however I went rocketing out the room and looking around, realizing I had no idea where I was going. I starting running through random rooms hoping none of them led to a in use bathroom like in one of those cheesy cartoons. Finally I got to a, you guessed it, another door!
"And behind door number thirty!" I said as I opened the door as a gust of fresh air blew past my face. "Ding ding ding ding ding! Freedom!" I yell as I run out the door and towards the nearby barn.
'I don't care if they were watching me the whole time, I just have to get to that barn'
As I reached the large set of double gate doors I pushed hard on them. I watched as they slowly creaked open and revealed heaven itself. There were streamers and balloons everywhere and a large cake in the center. All around the inside of the barn were tables with various drinks of varying types on them. I noticed some vodka on a table and ran over there, pouring myself a small shot and turning around.
"Oh hey girls!" I said with a smile to the five that entered the barn. "Looking for your friend? She is in the rafters up there." I pointed above me as she fell down and bounced like a ball.
"Aw! How did you see me!" She asked with a frown.
"Easy, I gain heightened senses when I am at a party." I said with a devilish smile.
"Really?" Asked Twilight.
"Pffft no, I just know whats around me when I have alcohol because I don't want some poor fool to try and take it from me." I said laughing. "Not like I'm an alcoholic, it's just it's rare where I come from now a days." I said shrugging and downing the shot. "Ahhhh fffffuuck that's good." I say as I turn towards them. "Well? Who wants to party?" I ask as I pour myself another shot of the gods nectar.
**********************************
"So... then I kinda *hic* just.... yeah know?" I said to Applejack who was beside me.
I had sat down and been talking to Applejack about serious life and stuff when suddenly I saw a HUGE balloon over at the other side of the room. And I mean it was MASSIVE. I got up and started stupidly running at it as I tripped and landed on it. I suddenly get propelled backwards a long ways and land in a bale of hay.
"Holy shit that was awesome!" I yell out as I jump from the hay.
All around the room different things were going on. Rainbow dash was passed out in a corner after a drinking contest with Applejack. Rarity and Twilight were talking to each other, while Pinkie was just Pinkieing all over the place like Pinkie would normally Pinkie.... yeah.... what was I walking about?
"Hey applejack!" I yelled out to the drunk mare. "Come here!" I finished as I stumbled out of the hay and onto the ground.
A few moments later Applejack flopped next to me and looked at me. "Yeah?" She said with a confused look.
I slowly stood up and helped her up as she leaned against me for support. "Follow me I have to tell you something." I said as we walked two steps the sat back down. "Okay come here." I said as I motioned her closer as I brought my face to her ear to whisper. "......butts...." I whispered into her ear.
At that second we both fell to the ground laughing our asses off. Finally I calmed down and looked next to me to see Applejack was out, and I probably wasn't to far behind. I took a minute to stand and stumbled over to Twilight and Rarity. They were not drunk, but I could tell they were very close.
"Hey... girls." I said as I patted Twilight's head. "Sup?" I asked looking between them.
"Oh not much we were just talking about some random things." Rarity chipped in smiling.
I quickly nodded. "Oh... okay your secret is safe with me." I said bringing my finger up in a shhhh way.
"W-What?" Responded Rarity with a confused tone.
"Exactly." I said pointing at her as I turned my attention to Twilight who looked to be blushing and slightly smiling. "Heh... your cute..." I said pointing at Twilight and walking away.
"Oh Noooooo!" I yelled out as I realized something. "We never ate the cake!" I screamed dropping to my knees. "We never ate the caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake! " I screamed out hitting the ground. "Oh well more for me." I said getting up and making my way to the cake.
Just before I reached it I quickly turned around to see a slightly surprised Rarity and a massively red Twilight. I gave them a salute.
"Ladies." I slurred out as I fell backwards.
*SPLAT*
'Huh... comfy....' I thought to myself as sleep's grasp took a hold of me.

Chapter 15: Hangovers are Delightful
As I slowly came to I began to feel an immense pain in my skull as if a walker was trying to claw their way out. As I opened my eyes I looked around the room as I feel my headache worsen.
"Oh god what the hell happened last night...." I whispered to myself as I slowly got up and stretched.
As I took a step forward from the room I was in I promptly tripped on something and fell forward, grabbing whatever I could as I fell. The one thing I had happened to grab in fact, was the curtains. As I hit the floor the curtains ripped off and light poured into the room. I made a loud hissing sound as the pain increased because of the sunlight.
"The light! It burns!" I shouted out, much to my pains displeasure which increased as I did.
I mentally rolled my eyes. 'Oh that's right... it's a hangover... ugh...' I thought to myself as I just reached onto the bed I was on and pulled the blanket off and covering my face.
As I lay there I heard the door open slowly. "Deckard? Are you alright?" Spoke a voice loudly.
I through my hand out of the blanket and made a SHHHH signal, immediately shutting the voice up. As I lay there dieing another voice appeared in the room a minute later. This time it was very soft and quietly spoken.
"Um... mister Deckard... are you okay?" Asked a voice that couldn't be anyone else s but Fluttershy's.
"Ugh... just leave me here to die." I said aloud as I rolled over, still under the blanket.
"You just lay there, well maybe on the bed please? I'll fix those curtains for you and you can go back to sleep." She said with a warm tone.
I slowly got up and flopped onto the bed, the blanket still covering my face. I could feel the warmth in the room go down as the curtains were fixed and the dreaded light receded. I pulled the blanket down from my face and looked into her eyes. I had to say, they were beautiful, well when they weren't scarring you for life that is.
"Thanks Flutters... I just feel like I killed like... 90% of my brain last night. What the hell happened?" I asked in a whisper rivaling Fluttershy's.
"Oh, well everyone got into the drinking and I'm not sure what happened after that. I'm not much of a drinker so I ended up going home to take care of my animals. *giggle* I heard you really liked the cake thought." She said with a slight smile.
'Oh fuck... that means I fucked something up... what did I do? Piss on it?' I thought as I attempted to recall what happened last night.
"Well, who was there last night? Cause I honestly don't remember anything...."
"I'm not sure, I just came over to say hello to everypony. But I'll see you later Deckard, I have to go." She began as she neared the door, only to hesitate and look back before continuing to leave.
Ugh.... just let me roll over and die..." I asked as I closed my eyes and let sleep take me.
******************************** 3 Hours Later ********************************
As I came to my senses yet again, I could still feel a throbbing pain in my skull, but it was more distant than before. Slowly I made my way off the bed and gave a stretch, looking around.
'Looks like that place I woke up in yesterday with the OTHER head injury' I thought as I chuckled slightly.
I dragged my body over to the door and opened it, walking out and lightly shutting it behind me. I walked down a hallway and down a small flight of stairs. As I walked into a room with white tiled flooring I hear a voice off to my left.
"Mornin' sunshine!" Shouted Applejack from the living room next to the kitchen I was in.
Rubbing my temples I slowly turned to her. "Applejack... do that again and so help me...." I said in a low tone.
Covering her mouth she gave a small chuckle. "Sorry Deckard, I couldn't resist. The girls are outside if you want to talk to them." She said with a wink. "So is Twilight." She finished, smirking.
"Uh.... okay?" I awkwardly answered making my way to the front door. "Applejack... do you remember what happened last night?" I asked hopefully.
"Nope, but I heard the cake was great." She finished as she burst into laughter.
'Yep... definitely pissed on the cake or something' I thought to myself as I facepalmed.
As I opened the door I walked out, covering my eyes from the sheer difference in light. As my eyes adjusted I looked around noticing the barn and a certain group of friends just outside it. I quickly made my way there, ignoring my headache, and waved.
"Hey girls!" I said happily.
They all turned and looked at me, each of them with a different expression. Rarity was smiling widely, Rainbow dash was on the verge of tears, Pinkie was actually not bouncing, and Twilight looked like a red tomato.
"Uh... what? Is there something on my face?" I asked smiling.
They all snapped out of it, with the exception of Twilight who just looked away. Rarity stepped forward and looked at me smiling.
"Oh it's really nothing... we just never knew you were IN to that sort of thing Darling." She said looking at Twilight.
'OH HELL NO' I screamed in my mind.
"Oh it's not what you think!" I replied waving my hands defensively. "Whatever I might have done to the cake was an accident!" I finished looking at all their expressions.
"Oh we don't mean that, although you did go for a nice dip in the frosting..." Rainbow said laughing out loud.
"Oh... well what do you mean?" I asked innocently.
"You mean you don't remember?" Rarity asked with a hint of disbelief.
"Uh... no? From what it sounds like I might have done, I must have gotten completely shitfaced..." I said with an awkward smile.
"Well... last night before you went out... yo-" Rarity began but was cut off by Twilight.
"Girls that's enough, come on Deckard let's go. I need to go do some things..." Twilight spoke up blushing some more.
"O...oh k...." I replied as she began dragging me away with magic before her friends could protest.
We continued to walk for a while as I tried to constantly cover my eyes in an attempt to avoid the light. Twilight must have noticed at some point because she stopped and spoke up.
"Is it really that bad?" She asked in a caring tone.
"Yeah... I didn't want to say anything before but it's just making my headache worse now..." I said as I looked down at her.
"Well lets get to the library, I may have something that can help." She said with a slight smile as we continued walking.
After finally reaching the library I quickly went inside and sat on the couch, rubbing my temples. Twilight quickly disappeared off somewhere as I could hear some random noises of random things being thrown about somewhere in the house. After a few minutes I heard the clip clop of somepony approaching.
"Here, try these... they may help a bit." I heard Twilight ask as I opened my eyes and looked at what she held in her magic.
In her magic was a giant pair of sunglasses that looked quite expensive. I reached for them and gave them a look over, noticing the very small gold lining they had
"Twilight, these look really nice... but I can't accept them. They look far too valuable. Plus I don't think they would fit a human head." I finished as I offered them back.
After a moment I felt them get warmer. Opening my eyes I saw she had surrounded them with a glow as they slowly changed shape. I watched as they shrunk to a smaller size and everything changed shape slightly. After she finished I gave them another look over.
"Twilight... I still can't accept these... the-" I was silenced when she put her hoof on my mouth.
"Take them, really I don't mind." She said with a smile.
Giving them another look over, I slowly put them on and looked around. Everything felt a hundred times better with the lower light level. I turned my attention to Twilight and rested my hand on her head.
"Thanks Twilight, how do I look?" I asked giving a nice smile.
"You look really hand- uh... good. The glasses make you look nice." She finished as she gave a small smile while also blushing a bit.
"Really? Well maybe I will wear them with my peacekeeper outfit... speaking of which I should go and check it out. See if she planned out a finish date for it." I said getting up.
"Oh knowing Rarity, she is half done already." Twilight said snickering.
I shook my head and made my way to the doorway. 'Sure... she was with us all night. Like she could already be-
*******************************
"- Done?!" I said looking at Rarity with my jaw hanging a bit.
"Yes Dear, why is that an issue?" She responded with worry.
"N-No.. it's just... but I.... HUH?!" I asked putting my hands on my head. "Party, you.... at... no working... but done.... WAT!?" I shouted out feeling my brain failing on itself.
"Oh dear don't worry, I simply enchanted my tools to create the pieces themselves. All I had to do when I got back is stitch them all together." She said with a smile.
"And what about the back holder for the Rifle?" I said raising a eyebrow.
"Twilight showed me a few photos of it and I was able to do it off them. Would you like to see it?" She questioned smiling widely.
Shrugging I answered. "Sure why not, lets see it." I asked following her into a room.
As she neared an object covered by a white sheet she bit onto it, and yanked it, letting it fall to the floor and revealing the item under it. My mouth hit the floor as I stared at the outfit.
As I continued to stare at it I slowly pulled off my shades and spoke.
"Mother of god....."

Chapter 16: Off to Work I Go
I continued to stare in absolute amazement at the article of clothing in front of me. There, on a few racks holding it up was exactly what I had asked for. I could see the brown duster that drapes down my back on one, the shoes and pants on another and the gloves set next to everything. The piece to the chest looked exactly like leather while it had straps going from the top left to the bottom right. All in all it looked fit for nearly any kind of fight other than weaponry. Looked like it could even stop a knife. Not like I will be stopping bullets anyway. After I finished admiring the spectacle I slowly turned to Rarity who was beside me smiling proudly.
"Rarity... this... this is.... oh my god..." I spoke as I tried to form a sentence.
"Oh really, it was nothing, go ahead try it on!" She said while motioning to a door.
After a moment of hesitation I walked over and gathered everything up. I turned and saw my gun floating in mid air. I grabbed it as Rarity released her magical grip on it. Making my way to the doorway she pointed to, I opened it and closed it behind me. I quickly got undressed except for my boxers, socks and a light undershirt. I slipped on the piece for the chest on and pushed my arms through the sleeved as I connected the straps allowing it to fit to my snugly but at the same time it felt as light as a second shirt. Next I put on the pants that resembled jeans, only a different fabric that felt smooth strong to the touch. I then slipped the duster on and let it drape behind me and over my arms. I put my pistol into it's holder that was on my right side at my waist and let the duster fall back down. The duster covered my whole back all the way to the ground, sort of like a cape, which covered my weapon at my side as well. I felt to the left of my waist and noticed another holder. Lifting the duster it looked as if it could hold a big combat knife. Obviously Rarity knows some things about combat she isn't telling me... or I drew it and just forgot. Lastly, I slipped on the gloves which fit perfectly to my hands and were not loose at all. Finally I took my shades and put them on, giving a little smile as I turned to the mirror and looked at myself.
'Totally won't backfire' I thought to myself as I walked to the door and opened it.
As I did the sound of screams filled my ears and I watched as 3 smaller ponies went zooming out the door. I scratched the back of my head and turned to Rarity who was also looking at the door.
"What was that about?" I asked waiting for her to turn around.
"Oh I don't know, maybe you just scared them." She said as she began to turn around. "They haven't really met you y-" She cut herself off as she saw me in the armor. "Oh wow... you look...uh... ready for anything." She finished with a smile.
Nodding I went into the room and grabbed my clothes, throwing them onto my shoulder. As I turned and walked back into the main room and to the front door I stopped and turned quickly.
"Thanks again Rarity, this will help a lot... and also..." I asked pausing for a second. "What DID happen last night that made Twilight act like that?" I asked as I waited for a response.
"Oh nothing much deary, you will find out soon enough. Any way's, thank YOU for letting me design you something that will help protect the town. Yes I know that, I heard it from Twilight, good luck!" I heard her shout from somewhere in the house.
Sighing I opened the door and left. 'Guess I'll need to find out what it is myself'
As I finished that thought I made my way through Ponyville and towards the library, getting a mix of stares ranging from fear, to curiosity. after roughly 6 minutes I made it to the door of the library and gave it a light knock.
"Royal Ponyville guard! Please Vacate the premises immediately!" I shouted with a smile crossing my figures.
As the door slowly opened I heard someone reply. "Alright! But I swear It wasn't me who used the hot water this time!" Yelled out spike as he came out with his claws up.
'Bahahah' "Nah never mind, I'm just messing with you. But how the hell would you use up all the hot water?" I asked tilting my head.
As he looked up he sighed in relief. "Oh jeez... don't do that, you really have that commanding voice thing down." He began as he turned and walked back into the library. "And as for the water, don't ask..." He finished with a wave of his claw.
"Spike? Who was that yelli-" Twilight began as she descended the stairs only to stop herself when she saw me. "Whoa Deckard... what are you wearing?" She asked running up to me and examining the armor.
"It's something Rarity made for my job. Do you like it?" I asked as I struck a pose.
Nodding she trots up and stood on two hooves. "Yes I do, it makes you look..." She paused as she traced her hoof down the outfit's chest piece. "Tough..." She finished as her face instantly turned crimson and she fell to her hooves. "Anyway I have to go do something upstairs... bye..." She quickly spoke out as she ran upstairs.
As I lifted an eyebrow and pulled the shades down I turned to spike. "What's up with her?"
Shrugging he answered. "Not sure, mares are weird sometimes." He finished.
I gave a slight chuckle as I put the shades back on. "Heheh... yeah just like women on my world... hey? Want to see how to hold a gun RIGHT?" I asked while I pulled out the empty pistol from my outfit's holder.
"Yeah!" He said putting his claw in the air.
"Alright, as long as you never fire it unless it is an absolute emergency and someone's life is in danger, alright?" I ordered pointing at him.
"Yes sir!" He responded saluting me.
"Alright first you grab here..."

Everyone: {Stops panicking}
Pinkie: This guy here would like to get your attention. {Points at the creator}
Creator: Yeah, I promise this will all make sense, I just ask that you all take your seats, you can trust Pinkie. {Motions to the chairs}
Everyone: {Hesitantly walks to the chairs that surround the podium in no particular order, Twilight and Deckard end up beside each other, Celestial sisters next to each other, and everyone else just here and there}
Creator: Alright thank you, now let me begin. {Clears throat} I've brought you all here in a little personal dimension of mine. Don't worry you're all safe, I have full control here. I just brought you here for one reason. You could say that I'm from a different universe. But anyway, me and many other have.... discovered a way... to follow your tale and we all had some questions. I just want you all to answer these questions and you'll be sent back home. Sound fair enough? {Looks around at the calming expressions}
Celestia: Well I don't see why not... but I mustn't stay to long in case I'm needed.
Creator: Don't worry about that, any time outside this place doesn't move, so when I send you back you'll be exactly where you were before.
Celestia: Alright, I'm game
Luna: Me to {Nods}
Everyone else: {Nods}
Deckard: Oh this is gonna be interesting.... {Rubs temples then notices Chris and James} Hey wait, you guys are awake?!
Chris: Yeah, nice of you to notice {Chuckles}
James: I was having an awesome dream too... {Shakes head}
Deckard: I don't even wanna know. But I'm kinda surprised you guys aren't freaking out.
Both James and Chris at the same time: Why would we freak out, we're still dreaming!
James: Just look, everyone's a fucking horse.
Creator: Alright, anyway this is how it'll work. Anyone, or anypony who is answering questions will do so as I ask them from this podium. If you want to tell me anything, just refer to me as the Creator. It'd be less awkward than my original name. Anyway, lets get started.
Deckard: Woooooooooo..... {Fakes excitement while flailing hands}
Creator: Okay, first question is asked from someone named DezzarTac, oh yeah, some of these names will be strange. Anyway, it goes to Deckard.
Creator: {Clears throat} Deckard, How the hell did you get on planet Equus?
Deckard: Wait, you said you guys can see our tale, but you missed a part where I drive a giant truck through a portal and into a library? {Eyes the Creator suspiciously}
Creator: {Avoids eye contact} Moving on... {Picks up stack of paper} This ones from someone named Smexy Som- {Coughs loudly} Oh sorry... uh from someone named Smexy.
Creator: Deckard, have you been... oh for the love of... {Facepalms} This is going to be a long day. Alright... Deckard, have you been sneaking peeks at anypony, wink wink. {Casually looks up at Deckard} Also you have to tell the truth. Because I can tell if you are or not.
No he couldn't.
Deckard: {Eyes widen} W-Well.. I-I... uh... do I get any passes?
Creator: No.
Deckard: Well... I guess I can say that yes... somepony has caught my eye. Is that good enough?
Everyone else: {Eyes widen a bit}
Creator: Yes, next questions by RedRioteer. {Turns to Deckard} If every pony you met suddenly became human, who do you think would end up with the biggest rack?
Deckard: Oh for fuck sakes... {Realizes ponies don't know what 'Rack' means} Oh... ok, uh... I would have to saaaay... {Looks around at the ponies in the room} I'd have to say either Rarity or Fluttershy.
Both Rarity and Fluttershy: Huh? {Looks confused}
Fluttershy: W-Whats a rack?
Deckard: {Waves hand dismissively} It's nothing don't worry about it.
James: It means your tits, boobs stuff like that. {Pretends to reposition non-existing boobs on his chest}
Fluttershy: Oh... my... {Turns deep red with a very tiny smile}
Rarity: {Blinks once and turns red}
Deckard: I really fucking hate you sometimes... {Shakes head while facepalming}
Creator: Moving on... Deckard, what is your favorite ammunition caliber?
Deckard: I'd have to say the .45 cal.
Creator: {Turns to Shining armor} Let's say Deckard slept with your sister, what is your reaction.
Deckard and Twilight: WHAT?!
Shining armor: Deckard... {Slowly turns to Deckard}
Deckard: I swear we didn't! {Raises hands defensively}
Twilight: But why me? {Looks at Deckard then to the creator}
Creator: {Shrugs} It's what they asked.
Shining armor: When we get out of here... we are going to talk... {Slightly squints eyes at Deckard}
Creator: {Snickers}
P.S They won't remember anything when they leave this place.
Creator: Next question, still asked by the same person. {Looks at Rainbow Dash} What is your favorite alcoholic drink?
Rainbow Dash: The strong stuff, but I prefer rum. I like the kick and taste more than the other alcohols.
Creator: Alrighty, next one, {Shifts gaze to Spike} Spike, Now that you have both the tools and skill to kill anypony on a whim, what will you do with that power?
Deckard: {Stands and waves arms} Nothing, move on please.
Everyone else: {Gives confused looks}
Creator: Agreed, {Looks at Pinkie} Huh, surprised you sat still so long... anyway, Pinkie, how often do you spike the punchbowl?
Pinkie Pie: Whenever I'm allowed! A party becomes even better when we can have more fun! {Smiles widely}
Creator: Agreed there! {Nods to Pinkie} Alright, {Looks at Rarity} You took plenty of measurements of Deckard, so... how big was IT?
Rarity: {Turns completely Crimson} W-Well.. I-I... uh...
Creator: You have to answer it. Just to make it easier, just say it's FULL size.
Deckard: {Places head between both of his hands} Fuck my life...
Twilight: {Looks back and forth confused} I don't get it.
Everyone but the humans and Rarity: {Shrug}
James: Oh this is gonna be great {Rubs hands together evilly}
Rarity: Well.. I guess... I don't know.... {Looks away from Deckard} Maybe 8.6 Inches...?
James: Ha! Bull fucking shit!
Deckard: {Lifts face} And how the hell would you know?
James: I have a sense for this kind of stuff. {Runs hand through his hair}
Deckard: You have a sense that lets you know someones penis size? {Slaps himself in the face}
Room: {Falls Silent}
Deckard: {Drops head into hands again} Seriously fuck my life.
Cadence: {Whispers towards Twilight} Nice find {Winks}
Twilight: W-WHAT?! {Eyes widen and turns cherry red}
Deckard and Shining Armor: {Turns to Cadence} FUCKING REALLY!?
Chris: I'm staying out of this one... {Sits back}
Creator: Maybe I should stop them before a fight starts...
James: No fuck that man, I wanna see a royal rumble.
Creator: No, I'm ending it, EVERYONE SHUUUUUSH!
Everyone: {Stops bickering}
Creator: Damn... the amount of fighting that can happen because of someones penis size.
James: Fuck you man I wanted a fight!
Creator: Enough or your going outside.
James: {Crosses arms angrily}
Creator: Alright now that's over. {Looks at a very red Deckard} Who's the softest of the ponies?
Deckard: {Doesn't answer}
Creator: Hey dude, you home?
Deckard: {Looks at Rarity} Probably Rarity. She looks like she grooms herself more than anyone alive.
Creator: Alright now... oh okay this ones for... me? Okay... Creator, do you have any idea where this story is going and do you just make it up as you go along? Yes I do just make it up as I go and I've got a slight idea where it's headed.
Everyone: {Looks at Creator confused} What?
Creator: Ignore that, next question from Smexy... again? Where the hell did this come from, I thought he only asked one. Whatever. This one is to everyone. He asks... so guys, you all thinking gangba-nevermind that question moving on...
Everyone: {Looks around even more confused}
Creator: Alright, another from Smexy... oh god... Okay Twilight... {Turns to Twilight} Why are you purple? Your family is blue and white!
Twilight: I.... I'm not sure... {Begins thinking}
Creator: {Scratches chin} Perhaps your adop-
Shining Armor: {Cuts in} She isn't! Move on!
Creator: Alright then Moving on. Deckard {Looks at Deckard} This question is from... oh god... uh drwhoovescompanion, what is the best weapon against the zombies and why?
Everyone but the Humans: Zombies?!
Deckard: What have you done... {Shakes head} Well... the damage has been done... so whatever... baseball bat without a doubt. Easy, light, and doesn't get stuck.
Twilight: What do you mean ZOMBIES?! {Stares at Deckard}
Creator: Please keep other questions until after we are done. Now next, {Looks at Deckard} These are from RedRioteer again. Molestia is in town for the day, do you go for her?
Deckard: {Looks around confused and scared} What in the unholy fuck is a Molestia?
James: {Shrugs} Not sure, but I wouldn't mind meeting her.
Celestia: Let's just move on please.
Creator: Okie dokie, uh... {Looks at Rarity} Is there any of the armor plating on Deckard's new outfit, or did you just make the cloth parts.
Rarity: I made them with the finest materials I could get. They are strong but at the same time durable. {Smiles proudly}
James: Yeah yeah move on no one cares.
Rarity {Rolls eyes}
Creator: Okay, {Turns to Deckard} IF you were to walk in and see Twilight found your porn collection... how would you react.
Deckard: I don't know what your talking about... {Smiles awkwardly}
James: Oh those were yours? {Looks around scratching his neck} Oops.
Deckard: {Pokerfaced} Well now I'd burn them.
Creator: Yeah so would I... anyway a new set of questions from Praeco Nigrum, sorry if I pronounced your name wrong. {Looks at Deckard again} This one is for you again.
Deckard: {Throws arms in the air} Come on man! Why so many for me! This is torture!
James: I know, and it's fucking hilarious.
Creator: Sorry I don't make em I just read em. So Deckard, oh god.... um.. okay... are you going to ever tell Twilight she's sexy..... its getting annoying with all of the damned sexual tension....
Deckard: {Falls silent}
Twilight: {Blushes Intensely}
Cadence: {Covers mouth with her hoof and smiles}
Shining armor: {Begins reaching for his hidden blade}
Creator: I'll take that. {Snaps fingers making blade disappear}
James: Wow... my mind has quite the fucking imagination if this is what I dream about....
Chris: Tell me about it.
Deckard: {Still silent}
James: Either way it's entertaining, too bad I have no popcorn.
Creator: {Snaps fingers causing popcorn to appear in front of James}
James: Your my fucking hero bro! {Starts munching on popcorn} May be a dream but still tastes awesome. {Gets slightly sad} I miss popcorn...
Deckard: I have to answer... don't I?
Creator: Yep.
Deckard: {Rubs temples} Stupid sexy Twilight okay maybe she is a little sexy alright? Jesus get off my back about it!
James: Alright this dream just went to whatthefucksville on a fucking express lane... and I'm enjoying every minute of it.
Twilight: {Pupils shrink to pins and looks away}
Creator: Ooookay..... next one is for Twilight... oh great... {Turns to Twilight} Do you, or do you not, have feelings for Deckard?
Twilight: W-Well I-I....
Deckard: Okay I have come to a conclusion. I'm in a nightmare and this is just someone's way of fucking with me.
Creator: That's somewhat true but anyway let Twilight finish.
Twilight: I.... I... I would be lying if I said no...
Deckard: {Rubs temples}
Shining Armor: Long... LONG talk when we get out of here....
Cadence: {Smiles and blushes slightly} Ha! I knew it!
Deckard: Breath in.... and out... don't kill James...
James: Wait me? Why the fuck me?
Deckard: {Looks at James} Fuck you that's why.
Creator: Okay... and Twilight there's more... if so, when will you finally just jump his bones and get it over with?
Twilight: {Falls silent and hit's the cap on how red her face can get}
James: Okay now this is just gettin weird.
Deckard: I will find you... {Looks up} and I WILL kill you....
Twilight: I... I don't know... {Looks away}
Shining Armor: Can I have my blade back...?
Creator and Celestia: No.
Shining Armor:{Sits back and pouts}
Cadence: {Whispers to Deckard} Go easy for her first time.
All of mane 6 except Twilight: {Nods}
James: {Spits popcorn everywhere on the floor} BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Deckard: I don't even....
Twilight and Shining Armor: CADENCE!
James: {Wipes away tear} This is funnier than when my old friend went drunk dancing on the roof. And THAT was fucking funny.
Creator: Okay I've heard enough... moving on to some new questions by... oh for the love of.... Mr. Smexy... first one goes to... James? {Turns to James} Why do you have a gun in your pocket?
James: {Looks down at pants then back up} That aint a gun boy. But it fires like one... ladies {Wink}
Creator: Alright... gross... next question, {turns to Chris} Axe, Hammer or bat?
Chris: I usually prefer the machete, but I suppose I could go with axe.
Creator: Wow... an actually not weird question from smexy... maybe the next one isn't so- oh for fuck sakes... {Turns to Luna} Have you checked the dreams of Chris and James lately?
Luna: They have a question for me? Um... well I did look into one of James.
James: {Looks at Luna} Wait... you look familiar.
Luna: And I will never do it again....
Creator: Seems fair, also, apparently that gift over there is for you James {Points to present Smexy left}
James: Awesome! {Runs over and tears off paper and slowly opens the top} I wonder what it i- {Large tentacles come out and grab James, pulling him in} HELP! THEY ARE TRYING TO RAPE ME!
Creator: {Snaps fingers and James re appears in a daze} Better?
James: {Stays silent for a moment} Why did you let me out! I almost had him!
Luna: {Shivers} Tentacles... reminds me of his dreams...
Creator: Alright, {Looks at Twilight} How long can you... ugh... look at Deckard without getting pervy thoughts about him? Fucking really guys!? Are all these questions about the awkwardness of Deckard?
James: I hope so, because it's fucking awesome.
Chris: Shut up James.
Twilight: Well.. {Looks at Deckard} Uh... {Turns away blushing}
James: Answer! Not very fucking long!
Deckard: I'm gonna punch you SO hard when you wake up man...
Creator: Lets just move on. {Looks at rainbow} How'd it feel when you rammed your head into Deckard's chest and fell flat on your face afterwards?
Rainbow Dash: Hey Deckard can I punch James too?
James: What the fuck?
Deckard: Yeah sure, why?
James: Yeah what the hell?
Rainbow Dash: I don't know... I feel like hitting something.
James: Cool... but WHY ME?!
Deckard: I already told you why!
Creator: Alright enough you two! Next question! We are almost done! {Turns to Pinkie} Where does all that food you eat go?
Pinkie Pie: In my tummy silly!
James: I don't get it...
Creator: Okay... uh... {Awkwardly turns to Applejack} Ask Deckard to give you a belly rub. How does it feel?
Applejack and Deckard: Come again?
Creator: Exactly how it sounds.... you gotta do it.
Applejack: {Hides her face} I don't wanna.
Creator: You gotta.
Deckard. God... come on lets get this over with.
Applejack: {Huffs and walks to Deckard} Only for a second!
Deckard: {Nods}
Applejack: {Awkwardly flops over and presents belly}
Deckard: {Starts rubbing belly}
Rub Rub Rub Rub
Applejack: {Tail twitches slightly before she quickly gets up} It was... uh... um... I...{Hides face} It was... okay...
Twilight: {Slightly wants belly rub now}
Creator: Alright... now Spike {Spins to face Spike} How's your bullet wound doing? Got a nice little scar to show the ladies?
Spike: {Snaps out of his state of confusion} I did not understand half the stuff that was going on here.... but yeah look. {Turns head} Right here, see this line? I have an awesome scar!
Deckard: Nice... {Chuckles slightly}
James: Man kid that's nothing... look at this!
Everyone: {Silence}
Deckard: God dammit dude... pull your fucking pants back up!
James: Pfft... you jelly? {Pulls pants up} 8.6 my ass...
Creator: Alright... I'm so glad Spike won't remember any of this...
Twilight: What?
Creator: Nothing. Anyway we are on the last few questions. {Looks at Cadence} Been sensing something coming from Twilight and Deckard?
Deckard: Fucking really? AGAIN?
Creator: I agree this is ridiculous...
Twilight: {Falls silent}
Cadence: Oh yes I have... the feelings are strong with this one... {Looks at Deckard}
Deckard: Someone shoot me...
James: I'l-
Deckard: Never mind... someone shoot James.
James: Fuck you man!
Creator: Yeah yeah... anyway.... last question. Celestia {looks at Celestia} Please stand up, you and Deckard.
Deckard and Celestia: {Stands and looks at each other}
Creator: Okay now... oh fuck... really Smexy... whatever. Deckard please spin around and Celestia please watch.
Deckard: {Spins around fully}
Creator: Celestia... from 1 to 10?
Celestia: I... I don't understand.
James: I'll do it for you.... NEGATIVE 7!
Deckard: {Slowly breaths out}
Creator: Now Deckard please look at Celestia and Celestia please turn and face the other way. Now from 1 to 10?
Deckard: Oh for the love of... really...? Do I have to?
Creator: Yes you do...
THE SMEXY ONE HAS SPOKEN!

Creator: Yeah I agree man.
Celestia: Excuse me!? {Spins around blushing}
Luna: Oh my.... {Chuckles}

Everyone but Celestia: What?
Celestia: I'm not leaving unti-
Creator: And none of you will remember any of this.
Everyone but Twilight and Deckard: OH COME ON!
Twilight and Deckard: {Sigh in relief}
Celestia: When I get my hooves on you Smexy I'm gonna-

Chapter 17: The Hunger Strikes Back
*BANG*
The loud noise rung out through the Library as I quickly hid the gun behind my back and covered the hole with my foot. As My foot covered it Twilight came racing down the stairs in a panic looking around wildly.
"What was that!? What happened!?" She shouted as she looked around frantically.
I snapped my attention to her and stopped whistling, as did Spike, and I gave a small shrug.
"I don't follow, what happened?" I asked holding back a nervous sweat.
"That noise! The last time I heard it Spike got hurt!" She continued to look around as she inspected everything around the library.
As she neared me I began to look anywhere but her in hopes she would give up her search. But the clever unicorn sniffed at the air, no doubt noticing the smell of wood mixed with burning gunpowder. She stomped on my foot as I yelped in pain and removed it showing the hole in the ground. She gave a low growl before looking back up at me.
"You DID shoot that gun in here! What were you thinking?" She asked as she tilted her head in confusion and anger.
Rolling my eyes in defeat and throwing my hands in the air I gave a loud groan. "Alright yes I fired it! But It was an accident! I forgot to look for a bullet in the chamber.... I honestly don't know whats up with me lately. Ever since I came here I have been feeling...." I paused for a moment as I searched for the right word, "Sluggish...."
Twilight hoofed at the hole a few times as she brought her horn down, quickly repairing the damage before looking up at me with mild annoyance. "Whatever.... nopony got hurt so I guess its alright...." She looked down and scratched hoof at the floor a couple times before rearing her head up to say something before dropping it again. "I'll be upstairs if you need me. Be more careful!" She said as she pointed at my face and squinted her eyes.
As she walked upstairs I sat down and huffed a bit as I looked over to Spike. "Damn well that just goes to show why these are NOT toys you can play with."
Spike nodded as he rubbed his ears, "Yeah, not very quiet either... OH" He gave a surprised jump as he ran to a corner of a library and came back with a bag. "This is for you, it's from the princesses. It came with this." He finished as he handed me the bag and the letter it came with.
I hastily opened the letter while setting aside the bad that made a delightful jingling sound. As I opened the letter I unfolded it and read to myself in silence.
'Dear Deckard,
I hereby give you your first weeks pay early so you may buy stuff yourself rather than have to rely on others all the time. I hope it does satisfy your financial needs. On another note I was thinking some time next week you could come to Canterlot so we may see your level of training so we know if you must be trained further.
P.S. On a more personal note, I wish to apologize for the way I looked at your weaponry without your permission. I will not make the mistake again.
Sincerely, Princess Celestia'
I scratched my chin as I finished the note, turning my attention to the bag beside me. I set down the note as I opened the bag to find a bountiful amount of bits inside.
"Huh, would you look at that, I'm not a bum anymore...." I mumbled to myself as I turned to Spike, "Hey, how about we go get some lunch? It's on me."
Spike sadly shook his head. "Sorry bro, I have too much stuff I need to get done, maybe some other time." He said holding his fist up as I pounded it with mine.
I stood up and walked up the stairs towards Twilight's bedroom and paused before opening the door, and instead knocked a few times. As I did I heard a loud shuffling inside and a few things getting knocked over. I reached for the handle and as I grabbed it the handle locked in place, via magic.
"Don't come in!" Twilight yelled from the other side as I heard a tap running for a moment.
After waiting for a few minutes I heard the door open as I turned around and was greeted by Twilight looking slightly tired. I could also smell something resonating from her bedroom.
'Is that.... sweat? What the hell was she doing in there' I thought to myself as I tried to recall Twilight ever mentioning her doing physical activities other than turning a page.
"Uh alright, anyway, I came to ask if you wanted to go have lunch? I just got my pay for my first week from Celestia and was thinking, why not?"
Twilight seemed taken aback "Uh... yeah sure I would lo-, er, yeah I would like that. Just give me a few minutes to get ready." She said as she walked past me and into the bathroom as I heard the shower begin running.
I sat down with my back to the wall as I began the waiting game for as long as I could sit still. Which to be truthful, is not very long. Finally giving up on my brain to entertain me as I waited I stood up and glanced to Twilight's room. Without a moments hesitation I slowly walked into the room and looked around. The first thing I noticed was her bed that seemed to be a lavender with her cutie mark on the covers. But the reason it caught my eye is because of the state it was in, the covers were almost thrown off the bed and the under sheet was pulled off of one corner whilst the pillow was out of place.
"Whoa, what the hell happened in here..." I mumbled to myself as I walked over and observed her bed noticing a wet spot on the sheets. "Dammit Twilight...." I growled to myself while slightly chuckling. "Nice job spilling water on your covers." I spoke aloud as I heard the shower shut off.
I quickly made my way out of her room as the door opened so I just casually put my arm against the wall and leaned a bit as the door opened fully. I watched as Twilight walked out slightly wet and a towel wrapped around her waist with her tail sticking out the bottom and dragging along the floor. Her mane hung heavily to the side of her face as it dripped now and then as she cast her eye to me.
"Well?" She said raising an eyebrow.
Looking around a bit confused I spoke up, "What?" I asked.
"Can you... move to the side please? I need to get in my room..."
"OH yeah sorry.... heh...." I said slightly embarrassed as I shifted to the side and let her move past me and into her bedroom as her door clicked shut.
"I'll be out in about five minutes." She voiced through the door as I made my way down the stairs and back into the living room/main room of the library.
After looking around at the various books along the walls for the next half an hour I heard the door open and a completely dry and widely smiling Twilight made her way down the stairs. As she reached the bottom I gave her a glare as her smile dropped for a moment with her head tilting.
"What is it?" She asked slightly worried.
I waved aside the worry as I spoke up, "Oh nothing... just the longest... ahem... FIVE minutes of my life...." I voiced accusingly as I looked down at her.
In reply she sheepishly smiled and shrugged. "...sorry?"
I waved again dismissively, "Nah, it's alright, lets go get something to eat." I said as we made our way to, and out, the door.
As we made our way through Ponyville I looked over at Twilight to see her look away immediately. "So Twilight, any place in particular?" I asked as she motioned for me to follow her to Ponyville's restaurant.
We walked/trotted forward as we took our seats on these tiny stacks of hay as I leaned forward, placing my elbows on the mushroom looking table in front of me. We sat in silence for a while as we looked anywhere but each other as the waiter made his way towards our table. He asked for our orders and Twilight ordered a daffodil and daisy sandwich, while I ordered some carrots, corn and rice. Not my favorites but other than that they really had mostly flowers on the menu. Plus I am happy eating a meal at all as I recalled my past meals on earth.
As the Waiter left we continued to sit in silence. 'Gah god dammit I can't take this silence... okay, be cool, think of something to break the ice...' I thought to myself as I thought of the perfect conversation starter.
"So how did you manage to spill water on you covers anyway?" I asked as Twilight's pupils shrank to the size of pins.
'... was it something I said?'
Author's Note
Small chapter I KNOW! But it's because I cut it in half, kinda, well I cut it off and put this out because I wanted content out. I had something come up just now I would be pretty busy with and I wanted SOMETHING out. So I decided having a half chapter out rather than nothing is worth something. Anyway I hope you all enjoyed it and are excited for future updates because I have been a total ASS and not updating the story.
Bad endings, awesome beginnings
Chapter 18: A Nightmare Begins
The walk back to the library was silent as Twilight walked beside me, looking in every direction but mine. I was about to ask her what was up when my ears picked up a certain sound. The sound of hooves hitting the ground in a frenzy. Twilight picked up on it too as her ears were trying to focus in the direction of the sounds. I turned around to find the source of the noise when I noticed a pony galloping full speed towards me. The pure white pony, who was unmistakably nurse Redheart, finally made it within shouting distance.
"AAAAWAAAAKE! THEY'RE AWAAAAAAKE!" She shouted as she closed the gap between us, panting as she attempted to catch her breath.
I walked up and rested my hand on her back, patting her slightly. "Woah woah, calm down there, what are you talking about?"
She closed her eyes and took a few breaths before looking right into my eyes. "Your friends, they're awake!"
Twilight couldn't see my face but i'm pretty sure she could sense my large smile as it graced my face. But it faded as I saw the worried expression of the nurse.
"You say it like it's a bad thing!?" I ask as I immediately start making my way to the hospital.
"What? Oh no... it's great! Well..." She trailed off for a moment before continuing. "You see... they kind of... barricaded themselves in their room." She finished in a hushed tone.
I blinked once before I took off in a dead sprint towards the hospital, Twilight and Redheart close behind.
**********************************************
"NOW NONE OF YOU TRY ANYTHING FUNNY YOU HEAR?! OR I'LL HURT THE HOSTAGE!" James shouted to the ponies on the other side of the barricaded door.
"James... we don't have a hostage." Chris said under his breath as he covered his face with his hand and shook his head.
"SHHHH! They don't know that!" James replied in a hushed voice which just caused a huff of an annoyance from Chris.
Suddenly a voice from the other side of the door spoke up. "Come on now! Just open up! We're only here to help!"
"HA! I've heard that one before! And you know how that ended?" James began as Chris interrupted him.
"You got smacked around by a couple guys way bigger than you for sleeping with some guys daughter?" Christ added smugly.
"Exactly! That's why you can never trust em'!" James finished with a smile as he waved the scalpel around.
"Well that's not entirely true..." Spoke a familiar voice from the other side of the door.
James and Chris both froze up as the voice spoke before they both smiled widely.
"Son of a bitch! Deckard! We thought the muties ran off with ya when we didn't wake up with you here!" James added as he began pulling things off of the barricade. "What are they anyway?"
"James they're not mutants. They're ponies, and trust me they're really friendly." Deckard chimed in from the other side.
As the last of the debris was cleared from the doorway, James slowly opened the door and was met by the sight of his friend. A few seconds passed before Deckard stepped forward and brought him into an embrace.
"God I've missed you bastards." He said with a small chuckle.
**********************************************
"God I've missed you bastards." I said aloud as I released my hold on James.
"Woah, calm down boy. What the hell happened yesterday? First we were driving through all those walkers... next I woke up here?" James asked as he looked at me with questioning eyes.
"Well there are a few things you should know... but I'm gonna ease you into it as one of you, " I paused as I glanced over to Chris, "Didn't take to well to the straightforward approach. But here is what I can tell you, one, you haven't been out for one day, you guys have been out of it for a while. Two, we are safe for now, three, put down the scalpel before you hurt yourself, and four, I have a huge urge to punch you for some reason so I would back up a bit."
Giving me a sideways glance but backing up a bit he began, "Wait, why would you want to punch me? I don't remember doing anything."
Shrugging I answered, "I'm not sure, I just feel like I should."
As James set the scalpel down on a nearby table, I turned towards Chris and gave a small nod. "You remember anything from what we discussed before?"
Chris nodded. "You don't forget something like that Deck..."
Nodding back, I motioned towards some chairs as James and Chris sat down. "Alright Twilight! You can come in now!" I shouted towards the door as Twilight made her way through. "Okay let's get this over with..."

_-Research Facility, underground, Location unknown-_
A brown unicorn stallion made his way to a set of double doors and pushed them open as he stepped inside. He took a look around the almost empty room before his eyes landed on their mark. Not far away was a light blue unicorn mare reading some documents as she sat in-front of a destroyed wreck that was called a "Truck".
"So... where did this thing come from anyway?" The brown unicorn asked as he looked the massive pile of metal over.
Shrugging the mare replied. "I'm not sure, it was sent from Ponyville with a message from the Princess. Apparently this thing is called a Truck and it was used by some creature as a mode of transportation."
"Pfft. This thing? It's made of metal! How in the world is this thing used for transporting ANYTHING?" The stallion answered as he walked up to the truck and tapped it with his hoof.
Before the mare could answer he heard a low growling noise. Curious he listened closer. "Sh! Did you hear that?" He asked as he looked around the room.
Once again he heard the noise but noticed it was coming from the massive wreck in front of him. Crouching low he looked underneath and spotted a puddle of what couldn't be mistaken as anything but blood.
"Oh my Celestia! Get over here there is something stuck under the damned thing!" he yelled out as he saw the mess that was plastered under the bottom of the machine.
Once again, whatever was jammed under and into the bowels of the truck growled again this time louder. Ducking down, the stallion tried to get a better look at what exactly was under there.
He barely had time to scream before an arm shot out, grabbing him whilst it's teeth sunk into his flesh...

The Gangs' All Back Together Again
Chapter 19: The Gangs' All Back Together Again
Silence.
That's all that hung through the air on the walk back to the library. Twilight and I walked side by side, while Chris and James stayed back a bit but followed nonetheless. James looked to be thinking the whole situation through his head again while Chris opted to look at the world around him and observe the almost perfect state of everything. Upon finally reaching the library Twilight swung the door open with her magic and Stepped inside, where I shortly followed.
"Oh come on! Does this not look like a children's cartoon to ANYONE ELSE?!" James began for the millionth time. "Like COME ON! SHE LIVES IN A TREE EVEN!"
Shaking his head, Chris walked past him and ducked through the doorway, causing James to let out an irritated sigh and follow soon after.
"But I gotta say... there is something really familiar about all this..." James continued whilst I just began to tune him out. After all... there's only so much James you can handle in one day.
At that moment Spike walked into the room and and froze upon seeing our company.
"Uh... I see your friends are awake? Should I put something in?" Spike asked to Twilight.
"No it's alright Spike, its almost dinner time anyway." Twilight began as James, upon hearing the dragons name, fell into deep thought.
"Spike.... Spike... where have I...." Right then something must have made sense because he froze up, and his eyes widened beyond human standards. "SPIKE!" He yelled as he dove to the floor and looked him in the eyes" "Your Spike!" He continued shouting.
"Yeah Twilight just kinda said that?" I shot back as I took a seat on the couch.
"No man you don't get it! ITS SPIKE! I KNOW HIM!" James continued frantically as everyone looked at him like he was mad. "Alright just hear me out... your Spike... and Twilight! Your last name is... uh..." He paused before smiling, "Right! Sporkle!"
Rolling her eyes she corrected him. "Spar kle."
"Yeah right! Sparkle! Student to... uh that one chick! The sunlight one!"
This caught my attention. "You mean Celestia? How do you know her?" I asked genuinely interested now.
"Yeah... how do you know this stuff man?" Chris added in, sitting next to me on the couch.
"I told you! This whole place was just too damn strange! I can't remember but I KNOW I've heard this all somewhere before!" He finished looking proud of himself.
"Well if you think of something let me know, cause I feel like your onto something, but if your done I'd like to go and relax a bit. This day has been kinda crazy." I said as I got up and made my way out of the room.
As I left the room I walked to the bathroom with the intent of getting into a nice warm bath and just relax. Normally I'd take a shower but the whole meet up with my friends sapped all of my energy. I stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind me. For a moment I wondered why there wasn't a lock on the door, but I realized any ponies would probably knock before entering anyway.
I started the water and checked it's temperature to make sure I didn't boil myself like a lobster. After getting the temperature just right I noticed the bubbles building up in the water. Looking to the side of the bathtub I saw a little print of text.
'Self bubbling bath tub! Series #3761 By PoneSmart'
I shrugged and accepted the fact it's going to be a bubble bath and began stripping down my clothes, throwing them in the corner of the bathroom, before climbing into the tub. It took longer than I expected to fill the tub, as the thing was absolutely MASSIVE.
'Sheesh... you could fit like, 3 other ponies in this thing' I thought to myself as the water reached an acceptable height.
Turning off the water, I let myself lean back and relax against the back of the tub. I couldn't even touch the end of it with my feet but I didn't care, I lay like that for a while and before I knew it, my eyelids drew heavy and I drifted off to sleep.
But what I didn't know was how the bubbles began to cover my head while I lay there...
**********************************************
__--Perspective: Twilight--__
After about 15 minutes of talking with Chris I began to wonder where Deckard went off to and decided I should probably go find him and let him know when dinner would be. I stood up and stretched my legs as I said goodbye to Chris and walked off deeper into the library. As I walked, I could feel the temperature rising slightly as I neared the bathroom and wondered if he was inside.
I trotted up to the door and gave it a slight knock. "Deckard? You in there?"
No response.
Shrugging, I turned the handle and pushed the door open to reveal a full bubble bath with no occupants.
'How... sweet... he started me a bubble bath? He must have known how stressed I've been today after... moving on...' I thought to myself as I walked to the front end of the tub and stuck my hoof in.
The temperature was warm but could be a bit hotter, but I decided I would see how it is before changing it. Slowly I climbed into the front end of the tub and eased myself into the inviting waters. As I submerged myself almost fully, I allowed my head to lay back against the tub and release a pent up breath. As I lay there my mind began wandering as I thought about the events of the day.
Then my mind wandered too far, as Deckard floated into my mind and I began to feel a slight burning sensation between my legs.
'Why do I keep feeling this way? I've never felt like this so often other than when I'm...' My eyes shot open as the realization hit me.
'I'm in heat....'
I remained like that for a while, just thinking about that one revelation. How could I have forgotten? Have I really been so caught up with this that I forgot something so important! I shook my head and gave a small chuckle at my own foolishness.
'Well... I'm alone right now... I guess it wouldn't hurt... just really quick...'
Slowly I closed my eyes and slid back more as I slowly open my hind legs. My fore hoof slowly traveled down my body until it brushed past it's target, causing a shiver of pleasure to wash over me as I let out a small hum. I was about to continue until something happened... something that will forever be marked as the scariest moment in my life. My hind leg touched something.
**********************************************
__--Perspective: Deckard--__
My eyes slowly began to open as I noticed I was staring at an endless sea of white bubbles. Before I had a chance to sit up I could hear the bathroom door slam open, causing me to lurch forward.
"Man I really gotta take a sh-" James' words were caught in his throat as he looked at the scene he walked into.
Before I had a chance to tell him to get the fuck out, I noticed the purple on my peripheral vision. Slowly turning my head, what I saw made me feel two things, anger, and extreme embarrassment.
Sitting on the other side of the tub, looking bright red and frozen solid despite the hot temperature in the room, was Twilight. Before having a chance to make sense of the subject, James spoke up.
"Well... I see you two are busy in here... sa'll right I'll just uh... hold it in then..." He said slowly as he began backing out the door.
Turning to him quickly I raised my hands defensively. "NO nononono! It's not what it loo-"
James cut me off with a quick hand motion. "Nah man... I understand... plus I've done things much stranger..." He finished as he quickly left and shut the door behind him.
With the only distraction gone, I had to face the only other person in the room. Slowly I turned to Twilight to see she still hasn't moved but has become much more red.
"So uh... Twilight?" I began.
"Y-Yeah?" She shakily answered.
"This is pretty awkward..."
Pausing for a moment she quickly shook her head. "Yeah... yeah it is..."

Q&A (Ask anyone including story characters)
RULES! IMPORTANT!
When you as a question you need to say who it is directed towards in brackets or parenthesis before the question itself. You can ask me (Pinkies Imagination) Or any character from my stories including canon characters and my OC's (Any story of mine) A magical spell will be set on them so when they answer it and the Q&A is done, they forget they ever even answered them, but you will all still have your answers! So ask them ANYTHING! When the answers come out, all of the people asked will be in one big room and answer the questions. When they are done they are sent back to their respective stories and forget everything about the Q&A. SO again... ask anything.
Remember however to make sure you say who your question is directed towards.
Finally, I know many of you thought this might have been a chapter, but really it's just a Q&A. However the new chapter of this story is nearly complete, just need to go over it's editing again. Also the blog posting mechanic is broken so that's out of the question.
Anyway.... happy asking!
