Prologue

Prologue

So hello? I guess? My name is Jacob Foresight, and no that's not my real name , I mean Jacob is my real name but I'm an orphan so I don't have a last name , but I'm something called Shiftier I can take inanimate mater and shift it into something else (that also includes that I can make portals) I shift things using there Base Codes it the code that makes  everything in the universe I have the power to change it, but there I go ranting again about my power, back to my story. I am a Brony I watch mlp and am sometimes jelly of there perfect world while here I have to hide my self so people won't use my power for evil. I do how ever have one bliss on the earth my Girl Friend, Hirohito she helps me control my power and she's lucky, she has a family who loves her. But today I was going to do something crazy. I know that I can open portals so I played every season 1 episode over lapping each other and got a Base Code from it so I'm opening a portal to it.

    "So are you sure this will work Fore?" Hirohito asked "I have no idea" I replied with a smile on my face as my eyes were glowing as I was making the portal. When ever I use my powers my eyes glow white so that's why there glowing. "So your going to wing it." She said to me "Eeyup, and it's working now too, look." I said as the wall I was translating started to ripple, "bam!" I said my eyes returning to normal, and i wiped the sweat off my brow "see Hiro it worked!" I exclaimed "so we're just going to hop in!? You haven't even tested to see if it worked!?" She yelled trying to put some sense into me, I rolled my eyes with a smile as I materlized a harpoon into my hands and fired it at the wall "when I pull pull me out OK?" I said and she nodded as I tyed the rope around me "Woo-Hoo!" I yelled as I jumped through the portal.

Chapter 2-

"You Baka! Why did you say her name!" Hiro yelled at me in a hushed voice so the ponies down stairs wouldn't hear us "ok I'm sorry I can pull the whole Foresight thing I mean I can see into the future" I said trying to calm her down "ok fine but close that portal before THEY find us" I nodded as I shut the portal "damn chip" I muttered. I have a tracking chip in the back of my neck that was put in when I was very young so I cant get it out, it was put in there by who Hiro and I call the Feds, they want to us my power to control the world and all that cleshè ness so there's somethin' new for you, human governments suck moving on!

After about three min. Lyra came back up into the room holding a list with her magic. "Ok now first what are your names, it not very polite to not know what to call you" Lyra said she was clearly excited "well my name is Jacob Foresight, but just call me Fore" I said to her "my name Hirohito Takabaishi, but you can call me Hiro" "ok and you know my name... Right?" She asked "yes your name is Lyra Heartstring, it's a lot like my name a real name then a strange name" I told her with a smile "ok so now to my main questions, 1 did humans rule over Equestria?" "Well we wouldn't know about that because we're from a planet called Earth we know a bit about Equestria but not that much" I replyed as she jotted down the answers. "second question there is a rumor that humans eat meat is that true?" Hiro and I exchanged looks at this moment "well... Humans are omnivores meaning we... Do eat meat, although I am a vegetarian meaning I don't eat meat" I answered nervously "I..... However do..." Hiro added carefully "ok... You won't eat ponies right?" "No no no no I would never!" She responded very fast "ok that's good, now next question!"

After about 50 questions about government and other shit like that she asked the two questions I was waiting for "how did you get here, and how did you know my name?" Lyra asked "well to answer the first question I opened a portal her using my powers" I had already explained my power and what base codes were to her "and as for the second one, on our planet your a fictional charter so that's how I knew your name" "Fore!" Hiro yelled "well we won't get much out of Lying to her!" I yelled back "sorry" I sighed "so humans know who I am?" "Yep" I answered "awesome!" She yelled "now Hiro... I have a bit of bad news for you, we can't go home till the Feds come here" "what!? But they'll tare this place apart! We need to leave here as soon as possible!" "Lession to me if we warp out now they'll find me and make me open a portal anyways if we wait then I can blow them up and we can get out of here with out them finding us." I said "who are the Feds?" Lyra asked "bad people" I said simply "very bad people, now I will need some stuff Lyra can you go to the dress shop and get some black fabric any amount will do" " wait.... You don't have black fabric?" "Nope" " you have a fucking plasma cannon and not back fabric, what up with that?!" "It ok Hiro I'll go get him so fabric" Lyra chimed in "thank you Lyra, also what do we do if Bonbon comes back?" "Hide" she responded " or try to explain it to her your choice I'll be back later" she said walking out the door.

chapter 3

Chapter 3-

Lyra-

I walked out of my house to head to Rarity's dress shop to grab black fabric. "I can't believe only two min. ago I met not one but two humans" I said to my self as I walked through ponyville and headed to the dress shop "Um hello?" I said as I walked in "yes I'll be right with you" Rarity said "Yah I need some black fabric?" I said as she ran up and gave me a roll "that will be 15 bits, sorry I don't have much time to chat I have much work to do" "alright" I said handing her the monny then left "thank Celestia she didn't ask why" I said as I walked out and headed back home.

"I'm back" I said as I walked back into my house "Lyra!" Bonbon said to me in a hushed voice "There are... Things in your room!" She exclaimed "I don't think they saw me but one of them had glowing eyes and the other was asleep" at this, I laughed "what's so funny!?" She asked me, still scared "follow me" I told her as we walked up to my room  "you two are bad at hiding!" I said loudly Hiro woke up, and Fore stopped, meditating? I think he was doing? "Bonbon meet, my new Human friends"

Fore-

I woke up from my meditation to see Lyra and Bonbon "Those are humans?!" Bonbon said slightly scared "Lyra why did you tell her?!" I said slightly annoyed "it's a secret were here and I want to keep it like that" "she found you while you two weren't paying attention" Hiro and I both facepalmed "well then that's Fore and she's Hiro" Lyra said "Hay" Hiro said groggily, while I waved and at that Bonbon passed out "well she's out" I said "she will have to get used to it" Lyra stated "Lyra?" Hiro said with a yawn "yah?" "You got the fabric?" " oh yah here " she levitated the fabric out of her bag and gave it to me. I starred at it absorbing its code for about 2 min. "Ok let's do this" I said as I formed an image in my mine of what I wanted, and my eyes started to glow as well as the fabric. It started to shift into something else after one min. Of forming it was complete, two black cloaks "Um fore why not just sew them?" Lyra asked "well my equine friend, one I can't sew, and two this has. Perception filter on it only you, Hiro and I can see through it." " why me ?" Lyra asked "so you can give us a tour" Hiro said hopping out of the bed and tossing the cloak on "you have to walk on your hand and knees when were in town" I said putting mine on "so shall we be off?" I asked "sure follow me!"

Although I knew of the main places in Ponyville I was still a good tour and some of the places I didn't know of we're very interesting, but our tour was interrupted by my stomach as it growled in hunger, Lyra and Hiro laughed and we went to get some food. We went to the bakery sugar cube corner because Hiro would like it, because of the lack of meat and they ate there with out being noticed by a hyper pinky party loving pony, thank god, and we lefts went back to Lyra's place so we could stand up and take off the cloaks "oh man my back!" Hiro said as we enter the house and closed the door behind us "Fore?" Lyra started "can't you just shift into ponies? With your power it sounded like you could." She said and I shock me head " with living things I need to follow the laws of equivalent exchange, I can do a lot of thing but I can't creat life out of thin air it's imposable to do, and with shifting us into ponies there's to much of a mass differential and I would have no where to store the mass without killing it" I said sitting down on the chair as I ran my hand through my blond hair, it was always fairly long going down to about my shoulder blades  "um this may sound weird but can I... Look at you hands?" "Umm... Sure?" I said as I graver her one of my pale hands "are most humans your color?" She asked looking into my grey eyes "only some and I'm only like this because of my powers and such" I told her "ok what color are most humans?" She asked "man you really like anthropology and either tan or brown most of them" "ok and what's anthropology?" "The study of humans" I said to her "neat" she said with a smile "but why are both you and Hiro pale?" Lyra asked "no idea" I replyed with a smile as she walked in her skin was just about as pale as mine, her Onyx hair, and sapphire blue eyes made her look like a desert flower, so very very pretty in short "Fore... When do you think they will find us?" "It will at least take the Feds a few months to find us then to build a portal will take them even longer so in short, we'll be here for a while" I said "you don't mind of we say here Lyra?" I asked looking at the mint green unicorn "of corse not! I would love you two stay with us....just try not to freak out Bonbon too much" "we'll try" I replied "where do we sleep?" I asked ".... Well, we do have a guest room but there's no furnishings-" "I'll do make em' Hiro" I said as I walked up the stairs to the guest room "ok let's see here we need two beds, two dressers a desk, two bed side tables, some lamps, my laptop, a generator in the wall, and that" I said to myself as I started to create stuff in the order that I listed them out of, well truly, thin air. The whole presses took ten min. and with the last little bit of my strength I created something very dear to me, it's a plush toy of a bear I think, it's the only thing I have of my real parents and then I plopped on to my bed and put the bear inside my bedside table "I'M DONE!!!" I yelled down stairs and Lyra, Bonbon, and Hiro walked up and saw "...wow..." Lyra and Bonbon said together Hiro just laughed, "did you get the generator?" She asked I nodded "cool" she said laying down on her bed as she reached into her bedside table and grabbed her phone and started texting, most likely her parents "um.. Hiro was it" Bonbon started " what are you doing?" She asked "I sending a message to my parents with my super phone telling them what's going on" she told them "Fore your only slightly older than her, why aren't you messaging your parents?" Lyra asked... I looked down Hirohito put her phone down and gave me a hug "it's ok Hirohito" I said with sadness in my voice "I'm an orphan I don't have parents" I told her "oh my I'm so sorry!" She said "it's ok..." I said my voice trailing off. I was tired so I went to sleep right then and there and passed out right after I closed my eyes.

Hirohito-

I felt sorry for Fore I mean he had me and I loved him but that's all just me no one else and he's always running, but he always come to me... "Come on... He just made a room he's tired" I said and Lyra and Bonbon left, but before I did I went to his bed side table, grabbed his bear and placed it in his arms, he doesn't know that I know about it but I do. I then got up turned out the lights "Goodnight, Jacob" I said as I closed the door.

Chapter 4

Hiro-

I walked down the stairs from our room into the living room, sat down on the couch and put my face in my hands

"So, he really doesn't have anyone?" Bonbon asked.

I shook my head "No, only me" I responded "He recently turned 17 and has spent most of his life running" I said standing up “I am going to go take a walk." I grabbed the cloak and walked out the door.

Walking had always help clear my mind ever since I was small, even if I had to walk on my hands, and knees it still helped. I came back a few hours later. Nothing interesting happened and it was dark when I returned. I found Fore, Lyra, and Bonbon were already in bed. Bon Bon and Lyra were passed out on the coutch and Fore was in his bed. Feeling tired myself, I crawled into my bed and fell asleep fairly fast.

Fore –

[i/]"Get away from me" I shouted to the men trying to grab me. Then men in question were the Feds. I could tell that they were Feds because of the Cardiem armor, the only thing in the world I can't shift. They came close enough to grab me. They were going to take me away and make me hurt people or worse

"Did you really think you could hide from us!"

I awoke with a start and quickly sat up in my bed to find that I was drenched in sweat. I grabbed my phone5 and checked the time.It read 12 o’ clock midnight. Our Phones still work on the Equestria only becasue I gave them a very strong upgrade incressing there range 1mill. X 37 pie squared, in short fucking huge. I looked over at the other bed and saw Hiro asleep in her bed. Feeling that I won’t be able to go back to sleep, I let out a frustrated moan and decided to go for a walk. After putting on my cloak of course.

Because of the time night, I could walk normally around Ponyville without having  to keep the hood on. So what did I do? I did what almost every single brony dreamt about. I took a personal tour of the town, starting with the Mane 6’s houses. If they saw me I thought then they would tell Princess Celestia and having read fanfiction she would eather A: Kill me, or B: welcome me, until the Feds came, I was not ready to take that risk so I still had to be quiet.

I found the Library, and laughed a little at the irony of a library being a massive treehouse, The Carousel Boutique and Sugar Cube Corner,just looking at it made me hungry, thoses were the only three that were in the town. I looked up and saw Rainbow Dashes house, the massive cloud classtle had me in awe, but only for a momment, and in the distance I saw Fluttershy's cottage, with all the animal stuff, and Applejacks Barn, that I was still trying to figure how Earth Ponies built it without magic.

As I reached Lyra’s house, I began thinking. All I want is for Hiro to be safe with me, but that’s impossible with the Feds chasing me. All the cared about is wanting to use me. They didn't care about Hiro. To them, she was just in the way.

An unnerving sound met my ears and it was coming from behind the house. Quickly I threw my hood on and hid on the side of the house. Peering around the corner I i saw that it was a Fed warp scout. They were looking for me on all of the worlds near ours.

"God Dammit" I muttered to myself. I found a fair sized rock and changed it into my bastard sword and snuck up behind it, but then a thought struck me. If I destroyed it, then they would know I was here and that’s no good. I snuck backwards towards Lyra's house and another idea hit me. Everything made by the Feds is made with Cardiem. Cardiem is relatively weak metal and is extremely conductive of electricity, almost as good as copper. I whispered to myself "Lightning."

I looked up at a cloud and subtly began shifting it into a storm cloud. Since I had to make the storm cloud from a normal looking cloud, that meant that I had to generate the static electricity in it. Silently, I let out a frustrated sigh. Generating static electricity in a cloud I could do but it was difficult and required concentration. Focusing, I made the water molecules pass each other, causing friction to occur. The amount of static electricity in the cloud quickly grew.Any second now…

CRACK!!! Lightning arced down and contacted the scout’s Cardiem armor. The lightning strike had completely fried the scout’s circuits, turning the machine into a statue to put in someone or somepony’s garden.

The Feds won’t be happy about that. I thought as a small smile emerge. I stood up and took off my hood so that I could admire my work. "Assholes" I said out loud.

"Who's there!"

My pupils instantly dilated as I heard the voice. Quickly, I pulled on my hood and ran for the cover of a bush. Once inside the safety of the bush, I peered through the leaves in search of the owner of the voice. Not seeing anypony on the ground, I looked up some and found that the voice belonged to Rainbow Dash. I guess my lightning strike woke her up

"A storm has not been scheduled for tonight. Whoever is responsible for this is gonna have somethi --- What the buck is that!?" She said going from looking at the storm cloud to looking at the scout "I’ll take this to Twilight, I’m sure she will know what it is and what to do with it." She picked up the android and began flying away with it.

"God Dammit" I said to myself. There was nothing I could do but go home.

Later that morning, Lyra decided that we needed to go pick up some groceries and that I should come along. Why? She said “So that I can help pick out food that both Hiro and I could eat.” So, here I am heading into town with Lyra when something, or rather somepony, in front of the Library caught my eye. That somepony is Princess Celestia and she appeared to be talking to Twilight Sparkle. Twilight had sent a letter to the Princess and now she was here. "Damn" I muttered.

Then, something horrible happened. She walked right over to us. "Lyra," she started "I need your help at the library. My student’s friend, Rainbow dash, found something related to humans" I gave Lyra a nod.

"I would be honored but, may my friend come as well?"

She gave me a thorough look over. “Yes, you may bring your friend”

Thank god she doesn’t realize that I’m a human.

"Now, please come with me" Celestia said as she started walking back to the library. Twilight had already gone back inside.

We cought up with Celestia as we entered the library, and saw the Scout laying on the table, I made sure that none of the ponies in the room would see my face or shit could go down right there and then

"Lyra what do you think?"

I began whispering in her ear information about it that wasn't too out of the blue. "Well it appears to be humanoid in structure… and it's made out of some strange metal."

"My magic won't work on it" Twilight started "and Rainbow Dash found it struck by lightning." she stopped "Who are you?" She asked directing the question at me.

Crap.

"His name is Foresight, he's my Brother"

“Ah didn’t know that ya had brother.” Applejack

"Well, he's not from around here. Let him touch it, he figure out what something is made of just by touching it."

I looked to the Princess to see if she would allow me to. She nodded yes. I curled up my hand into a fist and shifted it into a blue hoof, why blue, I have no idea. .12 I reached out and touched it. "The metal is called Cardiem, its magic proof and conducts electricity extremely well." I said hoping they wouldn't ask me to take off my hood " I have to leave now I have… work to do" As quickly as I could without looking suspicious, I walked out of the library and went straight to Lyra's house. Hiro was there, not like she could really go anywhere though unless she had a reason.

“How come you’re back already and where is Lyra?”

I told what had happened last night with the Fed scout. That I was almost discovered by Rainbow Dash. Then I skipped to where Lyra and I were heading to town and everything that transpired afterwards.

"So, she didn't know you’re a human?"

"Nope" I replied shifting my hand into a hoof and back again.

"So there’s no mass difference between a hoof and a hand?”

"Apparently not." A small smile came across my face as I studied the hoof on the end of my arm. My fur feels soft like velvet, cool even. The process was not even that pain full, later I should try finding a pony with the same mass as me.

About an hour after I got home, Lyra walked in the front door.

"So, what's up?" I asked

"Well, Pinkie Pie is searching for you." she replied with a smile. “What about you”

"Well, I'm looking for a stallion with the same mass as me."

"Try Big Mac. His mass might be the same as yours. "

"Excellent idea."

“So what do you think about the android, Fore?" Hiro asked me.

"I’m just glad it didn't see us… but… Hirohito, do you want to go home?"

"Well yes, I mean I know near nothing about this world and I miss my parents. Wait, why?"

My eyes started to glow. "I’m the one the Feds are searching for, not you. I want you to be safe. That means you cannot stay here.” Tears began to form in her eyes as I was saying this. I gave a supportive smile in return. "Now, go home and have fun with your family. Oh, one last thing, Merry Christmas." She gave me a quick hug and I teleported her back to our world, with tears in my eyes as well.

Chapter 1

chapter 1-

I fell through the portal and landed in a cloud of all thing the portal always hides itself but what confused we was how was I sitting on a cloud... Oh well. I looked out and saw a pony pushing it slowly "cool beans" I whispered to my self as I put my head into the portal "Hay Hiro, it worked" I told her "k k" she said as she walked through. "So where are we?" She asked in a whisper "in a cloud" I said with a smile "... Wait don't they clear clouds?" She asked "... Jump..." I said my eyes dilating "what" "jump" I said pushing her out and making us both fall, luckily the Pegasus didn't see is as we fell out of the cloud "hang on Hiro" I said as I aimed for aiming for a bush... Then making sure I hit the ground first.

Hirohito-

Fore flipped over making sure he hit the ground first,we landed inside a bush and at first it looked like no one saw us. "Baka" I whispered to his unconscious body "Baka, Baka, Baka why did you have to hurt yourself" I said to him  as he just laid there "when you wake up you are in so much trouble" I decided to my better judgement to see where we were, so I poked my head out of the bush. We were in someone's back yard not in public. "We'll Fore you can't be the only one doing stupid stuff." I said looking at the burn marks on his back. So i walked into the house.

It looked like a normal house just... Smaller so I went to the place where normal people had meds, in the bathroom, it didn't take long but I found the bathroom and burn cream. "Yes! Now I can treat that burn on his back." I said with a smile then something struck me 'I can't really help him in a bush.... Crap I need to take him inside now...' I thought to myself as I walked out side and grabbed him out of the bush and brought him inside the house.

I started to treat his back it, and to be clear it was like rope burn to the extreme so it needed to be treated but of corse Fore and I have damn Shit Luck and the door opened and a green pony was starring at us.... Then she smiled? "Oh... My... Celestia... Humans!" She yelled happily? "Please you can't do tell anyone about us here!" I said in a panic "my friend is hurt" "not that badly Hiro"

Fore-

"When did you wake up?!" Hiro asked me "when Lyra walked in." I said with a grin sitting up "how does he know my name?..." Lyra asked "damn..." I said I blew it with in 20 seconds of waking up "do I have to explain? Bonbon will be here soon and she will have a panic attack when she sees us" I said to her "your right Bonbon isn't really good with things like this you have to hide, follow me" as she ran up the stairs and I grabbed my shirt and Hiro and I followed.

We hid in Lyra's room and she told us that she would try and get rid of Bonbon then she had some questions for us. "Well so far so good" I said with a smile.... Then she smacked upside my head.
