- "Alright...is this map right ? Green Way is...up-ahead ! ...I guess."
Hank couldn't believe how unlucky he got since he started this "journey" to Green Way. Green Way was the neighbor city to Ponyvile and both fed each other's needs. Green Way's half apple supply came from Ponyvile, specifically from "Sweet Apple Acres". Ponyvile's other needs like technology came from Green Way.
Hank giggled ironically as he thoughts of the name of that city. Green Way was called like that for it's "green" progress,fast, all forward, awkward name indeed but he didn't actually cared. Even if technology aren't the biggest source of profit, it was the best that he could do.
Hank was a relatively tall brown unicorn with black mane and tail. His eyes were green emerald. His cutie mark was a book with a small red thunder on it. He didn't had a friendly face, however, that hid his incredible brilliant mind. Hank Q.I expanded itself very far as he knew high level science and mechanics.
However, his social skills were way far too rusty and flawed. It wasn't that he didn't liked other ponies, it was that they just didn't had the "brain power" to understand him and his projects.
Hidden to everypony, Hank hid a lot of energy based weapons,hidden mostly in his bags on his back. Not he was actually proud of building dangerous devices but he lived in danger, dangers that he wished that would leave him alone. His dream was to make his genius be worth something, to change something for good, which hasn't been lately...
After hours and more hours of pure walking in roads and woods, Hank was starting to convince himself that the map that he was using had something wrong. He looked at it again in frustration and came with his conclusion.
- "Hummm...why I'm wasting time with this piece of paper with words and drawings ?" Asked Hank to himself as he throws away the map and opened his bag in a flash.
With a grin in his face, he took off a small around device. The machine was more like a bracelet, but a big metal one with a lot of buttons. Pressing a big orange one, the device opened and Hank puts on one of his hooves, closing it.
- "Now to program this thing...again," Said Hank as he started to press a few buttons on the device, taking serious care. "Ok...now this, putting the coördinates, the tracking program. Code 4252, C-A-N-L-N-G".
Suddenly, the screen on the device came to life as it talks in metallic female voice.
"Morning Master. What I can do for you today ?"
"You can show me the local map," Then Hank's eyes then turned diagonally, as he came with another request. "And maybe tell me a joke."
"Right away, Master." Said the device in the same tone.
The screen filled itself with images of many versions of the same map, few showing different statistics. With all that information, the way to the city was clear as crystal. A smile filled Hank's lips as he just couldn't live without technology and Cassandra.
"Thank you, Cassandra. And my joke ?"
"What the cell said when it entered in a bar ?" Answered the machine right away.
Hank knew that one, and that it was a horrible one. Cassandra wasn't well programmed to make jokes, even if that wasn't very important.
"Not that one. You already told that one !"
" I will split the bill"
Hank sighed in frustration.
"Remind me: " Give you a better joke program. One that actually is WORTH listing".
"Yes, Master."
"Thanks, that is all". Said Hank as he pressed a red button and the screen went black.
With that set and done, Hank was back at walking with his bags on his back. His surroundings were now deep jungle, with a touch of swamp, but beyond his dirty hooves, he was doing just fine.
The animal sounds were really making a show around but Hank wasn't the kind to be scared that easy, he had his reasons. The city was not far away and he would be soon there.
4 hours later...
- "Aww ! Finally !"
Hank welcomed himself as he stepped into the roads of the city. The place was full of all the ponies of ever kind. Big, small, all colors and cutie marks of all types.
However, they were going to their own destinies, and Hank wanted to do the same. Walking in the area, he noticed that he was at the center of the city and that the house that he bought was located at side of the market area, so he was doing progress. The house was abandoned, according to the advertisement that he had read about it.
As he was thinking about, almost day dreaming in his own little world, h-
"HELLO !! WELCOME !" yelled a mysterious pegasus behind Hank.
"AHHHH !!!" Yelled Hank as he jumps on the air in pure panic. He quickly turned around to the source of the yell. It didn't took long as his face was just inches of a gray pegasus's smiling face.
- "Welcome, pal ! You new here !?" Said the pegasus, not bothering with the scare that he had just done to Hank.
Hank separated his face from the pegasus as he was so pissed off. How dared that insane creature just scare him like that ? For a moment, he wanted to pull out his laser pistol and scare that weirdo off,
- "IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE, WHAT WAS THAT FOR !?" Yelled Hank, incredible angry, at the pegasus.
The silly pegasus, that had black mane and tail and a NES controller as his cutie tail, kept his smile as Hank backed off. The weirdest thing about him was that Hank had simply NO idea where he came from.
- "It was to welcome you to the town, Princess Rose Moon asked me personally to help you to be shown around the city."
That did a little more sense but Hank wasn't satisfied with that information.
-..."How you got soo close of me without me noticing ?" Asked him, suspecting of something.
The pegasus had let out a giggle. Ok, Hank started to find that oddly creepy now.
- "I just teleported !" Said him as announced a big news.
Now that might been one of the most impossible things that he ever heard in his life of discoveries. That pegasus had no horn, he couldn't possible produce magic.
"!! That is impossible ! You aren't even a unicorn !" Said Hank as he glared at him.
"And how come that limits me ?"The pegasus kept his friendly smile. "You see my cutie tail ? That one !"...
Hank started now to think if that pegasus thought that he stupid or something, of course he could see his cutie tail, he just wasn't what it meant.
"...I know!"
"It shows what Im ! Im The Game Master !" Said the pegasus as placed one of his hooves on his neck, in a proudly position.
That name was just plain stupid for Hank. First of all, there was no "Masters" in the world, at least for Hank. And how "game" and "master" could be used in the same sentence ?
" Game Master"?" Hank made an odd face at him. " What you mean with such name ? You pretty much doesn't seem to be master of something."
"Yep, since I was a little, I was FASCINATED with games." Said the pegasus as his eyes got taken away from Hank and stared at the air in a dream-like state. "From the simple NES to the modern, at least to its time, Nintendo 64 ! Of course, I played all the games on all the consoles !" Kept on the pegasus, now turning back at Hank. " I got adapted to any gameplay, to any controller, any graphic...One day...I became ONE with them ! "
For Hank, he had done it. That pegasus had done it ! The limit of his patience had been broken by all the impossibilities that he had just heard.
-"....Wooooooow, just wow...You must be one of the CRAZIEST ponies I ever saw in my entire life !" Yelled Hank, in a hurtful way. He really hoped that would make the weirdo go away.
The pegasus winked with his left eye as he disagreed with his head. Hank didn't seemed to be that lucky to get away from him.
"They always say that, but look !" Said him as he walked backward a little. He sure wanted to show something to Hank.
" What you doing ? Can I just go ?" Asked Hank, tired of waiting his "chance" of leaving.
" No ! Wait ! Just wait one second...its coming !" Guaranteed the pegasus as he forced his eyes to open very widely. And, in a surprise, they got quickly red and focused. In a blink of a eye, a 8-bit sword flied out of them and exploded into the air, making 8-bit sounds as they vanished without a trace.
-"See ?!" Laughed the pegasus in pure victory as he got back to his normal position, looking at Hank's reaction.
Hank was just speechless, that wasn't possible by anyhow, or was it...? Nopony around them seemed to be slightly "effected" by that amazing stun ! It's like that happened all the time...
- "Th...that is just plain impossible !" Yelled Hank at the pegasus.
A victorious and trustworthy smile filled the pegasus face as he spoken.
- "Hehehehe, they also say that after see it. They don't believe, I show to them and they freak out," Said the pegasus as he started to walk back at Hank. "But trust me, when you get used to here, this power of mine will be more than just an everyday occurrence..." Suddenly, his eyes opened in shock as he noticed himself getting out of subject. " Oh look, I was changing subject! Sorry ! I came here to show you around, not myself."
First minutes in the town and he has already met with the impossible...and that wasn't a good sight for him. All he wanted was to get home and stay away from that pegasus.
-"...Just leave me alone. Im NOT interested." Hank turned around and started to leave the pegasus who was still insistent in having his attention.
-"...YOU CAN CALL ME ZEEK ! OK ?" Yelled Zeek as he was hoping that Hank would say something or at least wave back.
Hank didn't replied to the weirdo. He just kept walking and walking away, in direction of his destination. As he was pretty far away, Zeek started to wonder to himself the why of no answers.
-" ...Humm, maybe he didn't heard me," Said Zeek, lowering his ears in disappointment. As he started to walk away, he noticed something shiny on the ground. Zeek looked at it and saw that it was a book with a silver lock, almost like a diary. " Oh no ! He must had dropped from his bag when he jumped on the air...I must retrieve it to him ! That is what a good friend do !"
Zeek closes his eyes and disappear in a 8-bit flash as he followed Hank towards the market area.
