Prologue: Where the Hell Am I?

The Unexpected Ride

  Prologue: Where the Hell Am I?  

Act-1

Prologue: Where the Hell Am I?

Darkness. That was all that he could see.

“Argh,” That has all he say for the pain in his head, “What a headache.”

After what had seemed to be about two minutes, the pain in his head disappeared.

“Aah, finally… Now for starters, where the hell I am!?” he thought as he scanned his surroundings. However, he couldn’t see a thing, due to the immense darkness that he was in.

“Hello,” said a voice “what brinsg you to the underworld? Ooh, don’t tell me. You died, right?" The voice laughed heartily, "Haha, that's the only way you can be here… Sooo tell me how you died”

“Wait, what!? I’m dead? How can that be possible? I don’t remember dying…” He started to panic “Just calm down and ask the voice some questions. Maybe he can tell me everything.”

“What happened? Somebody killed you by pulling off your tongue,” the voice burst into laughter “Because that can be hilarious”

“Ugh, what a sick mind. Even I know my limits” he thought to himself, “Hey, voice-“

“Reaper, call me reaper”

“Ok, ‘Reaper’. I want to ask you some questions”

“Ohh Q&A, one of my favorites games. So tell me, what are your questions”

“First, where we are?”

“I haven’t told you yet? We’re in the underworld.”

Face palm, “yeah, but why is everything so dark?”

“Because light isn’t fun, and everything in darkness is more difficult. So, more pain, more fun. HAHA!”

“…This guy is freaking me out”

“Soo, no more questions”

“No, I have another one… What will happen now?”

“Well… Since you’re dead, and it is my job to take care of you, I think I'll take your soul now.” He clapped his hands, “Name please.”

“Roy… Roy Walter”

“Ohh… Roy Walter.” He said in a disappointed voice, “Well, here it says that you weren’t supposed to be dead, yet. Sooo, I will take you to the other place.” he clapped his hands again, “follow me.”

“How can I if I can't see a thing in here?” Roy questioned him.

The Reaper sighed in defeat, “Ok, just grab my hand.”

“Ok.” The same moment that Roy grabbed his hand, it felt like the world around him suddenly felt heavier. “Ouch!” Roy cringed as his face fell to the ground.

“HAHAHA” Reaper burst into laughter… again

“YOU CAN STOP LAUGHTHING! IT'S SERIOUSLY BEGINNING TO ANNOY ME!” Roy shouted, and Reaper suddenly stopped.

“Aww, you aren’t funny.” He said in a disappointed voice, “Here we are.”

“Wow” That was all that Roy could say at the sight of the immense portal that lied before him, “This is the portal to the other place?”

“Yup,” Reaper said “Are you ready to go in?”

“Wait, where will this portal lead me to?”

“I don’t have any idea,” he suddenly pushed Roy into the portal, “Bye.”

“Wait, what– Aggggggggggh!”

“Is he gone?” said a mysterious voice.

“Yup,” The reaper replied, “So, he's the chosen one?”

“The master said that.”

“Well, let's just watch and see.” That was the last thing the Reaper said as he vanished.

Chapter 1: who, where and how?

  The unexpected ride

Chapter 1: who, where and how?

*Puff*”Ughrt,” Roy said in a painful voice “I swear to god, if I see that reaper again I will kill him” he said out loud, standing up again. But then, he suddenly fell back down. As he fell, he felt that his legs weren’t feeling quite the same as they usually do.

“What happened to my legs? Where am I?… again.”

“Stop intruder!" A voice suddenly shouted out, making Roy jump a bit, "What are you doing interrupting a royal celebration? show yourself!” But Roy found the voice to be familiar.

“…Veronica?”

“Roy?” she asked

The dusk cleared and in front of him was a green horse, or well, a pony by its size.

“Y-you are a horse now?” Roy asked, trying to contain his laughter, “I knew you were a bit hoarse, but this is freaking hilarious.”

“Hahaha.” she said in an irritated voice, “You should try looking at yourself before laughing at the others.”

“What are you sa-” He looked down at his body only to discover that he had four dark blue hooves instead of his arms and legs, “Well, now that’s weird.”

But then, a figure came into view beside Veronica, “Who is interrupting my sister's celebration? Is this a friend of yours and his daughter?” asked the new arrival. She was a white horse, but instead of veronica she had a horn and wings, that somehow seemed familiar.

“Yes, your majesty –Wait, daughter?” Veronica asked.

“Yes, that filly right behind him.” The white horse said, pointing a hoof behind Roy's back.

“Wait, Daughter? Filly?” Roy looked behind him to find a clear-blue filly sleeping, “She is kind of cute and looks like a more clear version of myself,... Or of what I can see of myself.”

The white horse glanced behind her, “We’re making a scene. I will talk to you and your friend later. Please escort him to a place where we can talk more privatly”

“Yes, your majesty” Veronica said as she kneeled in front of her. Standing back up, she turned back to Roy, “Come on, Roy. Follow me.”

“O-Ok” Roy replied in a confused voice “First, let me grab her” He pointed a hoof to the sleeping filly.

“By the way, who is she?” Veronica asked.

“I don’t have any idea.” Roy said as he pulled up the sleeping filly onto his back, “Done.”

The two walked for a while and finally arrived at a park that wasn’t crowded and stopped to sit on a bench.

“Soo, tell me where we are. Who was that white horse? And how do you get here?” Roy asked in a confused voice.

“Well, we are in some place called equestria, that ‘white horse’ is their princess and her name is-”

“Celestia” Roy interrupted.

“How did you know that?” she asked.

“It's a long story that I won't tell you.”

Veronica sighed, “Ooh, come on. Tell me, please.” she pleaded with puppy dog eyes.

“No, and that's final.” Roy said in a angry voice

“ohh, well ok…” She said in a disappointed voice, “And for your last question, it was when the accident happened.”

“Accident, what accident?” He asked.

“Don’t you remember the car accident?”

“Nope.”

“In the excursion. Don’t you remember?”

Roy rubbed his neck, “Car accident, ummmm… The Reaper told me that I died, so maybe…”

He decided to ask her one more question,

“… We died in that accident, right?”

“Yeah…” she said in a sad voice, “So, do you remember now?”

“Nope, the Reaper said I-“

“Wow, you actually talked with The Reaper!?”

“Yeah… Didn’t you?”

“Are you crazy? If that happened, I wouldn’t be here right now.” She said in a confused voice, “So, tell me what he told you.”

“He told me that I died before my death time came. Since I'm not supposed to be dead he said that he'd take me to the other world. And now I see that it's Equestria: The brony dream.”

“The what now?”

“Nothing, hehe.”

“What's wrong? You’re acting kind of weird right now.” Veronica suddenly grabbed Roy's arm and pulled him off of the bench, leaving the sleeping filly alone on the seat.

“Hey!!”

“You know, I think I know what will help you.”

“And what is that?”

“A DUEL!” she replied, jumping back into a defensive position.

“ohhh, alright.”  Roy grinned as he did the same.

“Three,” The two of them staring each other.

"Two," Silence passed through the dark night around them.

“One,”

“GO!” They both shouted in unison.

Roy threw a punch to Veronica's face, but she dodged it and grabbed his hoof. With a twist of her body, Veronica threw Roy over her back, sending him flying into a nearby tree. As Roy got close to the trunk of the tree, he used his power to rebound and jump from the tree at high speed, sending him back towards Veronica. In an effort to tackle her with his momentum, Roy lashed out at Veronica, but she quickly dodged him and jabbed punch into his stomach. Roy winced in pain, but then quickly grabbed Veronica's hoof and swung her to the ground while he was in the air.

“Ouch.” Veronica grunted as she fell to the ground hard.

“Haha, point for me.” Roy said as he helped her up “Ready for the round two?”

“You bet” she said jokingly

they both stepped back into position, “Three, Two, One , GO!”

they both dove straight at each other to attack, grabbing each other and starting a small wrestling match. Roy tried to strike with a head butt, only failing miserably as he lost his grip on Veronica. Using this small opportunity, Veronica quickly put things in her advantage as she struck Roy's jaw with an upper cut.

“Yeah, point.” Veronica grinned as she did a victory dance.

Roy rubbed his head in pain, “Hey, go a little easy on my head. It felt like you were about to rip it off.”

“Hehehe. My bad. Being the Capitan of the earth division here has made me a little more rough.”

“She's a royal guard; AND A CAPITAIN NO LESS! I'll have to ask her about that later.” Roy thought to himself as he stood up, “Well, this is the last round I imagine.”

“Yup, ready?” she put herself into defensive position.

“Never more ready than before.” Roy put himself into position.

“Three, Two, One, GO!”

Veronica charged at him at full speed, but Roy then leaped on top of hers, trying to hit her. But this attempt only made him fall, due to his lack of balance.

“Ouch” He rolled rapidly to see Veronica coming in to attack with her hoof. Roy quickly rolled out of the way, and Veronica growled as her strike only hit the ground, creating an immense hole.

“HOLLY BALLS! ARE YOU CRAZY? DO YOU *WANT* TO KILL ME?!” Roy asked as he stood up. Without wasting a moment, Roy tackled Veronica to the ground, ending that round.

“Oof! Hey, sorry. I just wanted to show you a few new moves of mine.” She said as Roy helped her to stand back up

“And kill me in the process?” Roy sighed, “Some people never change.”

“And some people stay exactly the same.” She said jokingly.

“What a great performance of power” celestia smiled as she appeared into view, “I would like to see more of your powers, Roy. You certainly have some skill.”

“C-Celestia,” Roy and Veronica both said in unison, clearly surprised by the sudden appearance of the Solar Diarch, “How many fights did you see?” Veronica asked.

“A sufficient number to see how powerful the two of you are.” Celestia responded.

“How are things going for your sister's celebration, princess?” Veronica asked.

“Well, my faithful student has decided to stay in ponyville to study the magic of friendship. I can't deny that I will miss her.”

“wait, what?!" Roy's eyes widened, "I was sent to equestria the same day that Nightmare Moon was defeated by the Elements of Harmony?” His expression suddenly changed to one of fear, “Oh no, this is bad. Really bad. I could possibly change the… canon.” But then, an ear to ear smile appeared on his face, “Well, that isn’t too bad after all. I can do all of my weird dreams I've thought of.” He suddenly began to laugh maniacally,  “HAHAHAHA!”

“Does he always do this?” celestia asked Veronica.

“You mean act completely crazy? Yup. you'll get accustomed to that in no time.” Veronica said containing the laughter, “Time to wake him up.” She stepped closer to Roy, inhaling deeply, “WAKE UP!”

Roy quickly recoiled from the sudden shout, “Ehh, how long was I out?”

“About twenty seconds.”

“Ohh, ok.”

“Well, Roy. It has been great to meet you, but I don't have a lot of time right now and don’t want leave my sister waiting for me.”

“I understand, your majesty.”

“Urgh” The filly groaned from her place atop the bench as she started to wake up. She blinked her eyes to see Roy, Veronica, and Celestia. She quickly glanced back at Roy, “Daddy, where are we? And why is the princess here?”

Veronica approached Roy, whispering, “You don’t know who she is and she calls you 'Daddy'. How lovely.”

“S-Shut up.” Roy blushed at this and Veronica only giggled. “Sweetie, it's nothing important. Only grown-up talks.” Roy said in the most caring voice he could muster.

“Ohh, ok.” She said as she sat on the bench.

Veronica giggled again, “Man, I could never imagine somebody like you being a Daddy.”

“Shut up” Roy said in a dominating voice.

“Well Roy, tell me. Where are you going to stay for the night?” Celestia asked.

“I don’t know…” he replied. He thought to himself, “Come on, you can think someplace. Maybe…”

“Why don’t you spend the night with Veronica?”

“No way!” Veronica and Roy said in unison.

Celestia stared at them with a curious expression in her face.

“And why the sudden negative response?”

“Well… Roy and I promised each other to not stay in the same house after what happened one night a long time ago.” Veronica explained.

“It's better that you don’t know” Roy said

“Well… In that case, I believe you could stay in my student's old room for the night. What do you say?”

“Well, that is reasonable.” Roy accepted “But what are we going to do with her?” He pointed to the filly.

“Well, since she says that you are her father, you will take her under your care. Is that okay with you?”

Roy glanced between Celestia and the filly, before he decided to say, “Okay.”

“Good, follow me.” Celestia nodded as she started to walk away. Roy quickly picked up the filly off of the bench and he and Veronica trotted after Celestia.

“Hey Veronica?” Roy glanced towards his friend.

“Yes?” She responded

“How did you become captain of the royal guard?”

“Don’t you mean *one* of the captains of the royal guards?”

“There are more!?”

“Well, we divided into three parts of the Canterlot division, Celestia's personal guards and the normal guard division.”

He stared at her with a dumb face “What?”

“Well, I am the captain of the personal division, a unicorn named Shining Armor is the captain of the Canterlot division and a pegasus named soft wind is the captain of the normal division.”

“well, Roy I think that you will need a pony name.” Celestia interrupted.

“What's wrong with my name?”

Veronica explained, “Well Roy, your name isn’t exactly a common name for a pony. Celestia knows that I wasn't originally a pony, and seeing as you are an old friend of mine, she guessed that you probably weren't one either. The change of name is simply to allow us to blend in with everyone. My name is Charming Hoof” she said in a proud tone.

“Hehe.” Roy let out a short chuckle.

“What!?” Veronica blushed.

“Hehe… That name seriously defines you.”

“Hey!”

He brust into laughter

“Here we are.” Celestia said as she stopped in front of two guards. “Tell me, Roy. Have you decided on your pony name?”

“Yes”

“And what would it be?”

He look into the sky “Cross… Cross Heart.”
