The Sentinel of Equestria
Chapter 2: Wakey Wakey
Previous ChapterI barely remember waking up briefly in a dark cave-like place on what felt like a cot, I was partly tied down with ropes. There were different types of medical gear and bloody tools scattered around the room, so I started to panic. I then heard a couple of voices, one of which sounded familiar.
"Uh oh, I think it's waking up, Twilight."
Twilight Sparkle gently held my hand down as I tried to reach out to her, "Oh no, hey, if you can understand me umm, try to relax and keep still--"
"Heart rate is increasing, brain activity is off the charts!"
"I told you that wasn't enough of the sedative! Another dose, now!"
I felt a rush of fliud enter my right arm, "Heart rate dropping, stats falling back into normal range. WHEW, we almost lost it."
"I told you those estimates were off, run the numbers again." She said, as I faded back into unconsciousness.

When I came to my senses again, I noticed that I was in a different room than before. I was in a very soft bed, in a room that seemed like one of the Sugarcube Corner. However, the windows appeared barricaded, and the whole place looked as if it had been militarized, where there used to be cupcakes or cooking utensils and ingredients, there now were weapon magazines, and scrap metal.
To my left was the one and only Pinkie Pie staring at me with curiostity and awe. "Soooooooooooo, you're the one huh?!! Well, are you or not?"
"Uhh... I guess so?", I had no clue to what was going on around me, not to mention I had quite a headache from when Luna knocked me out.
How did I get here from Luna anyway?
"Don't be silly, you have to know!"
"Pinkie, I don't think I follow what you're saying."
"Well I-- How do you know my name?", I simply ingnored her question and silently looked around the room.
Am I dreaming this, or did I really get sucked into this world through my iPod?
Our awkward silence was broken by another familiar voice coming from downstairs, "Pinkie Pie, I thawt I told you to leave that thing alone. We have no idea if it's dangerous or--"
She stopped dead in her tracks so all we could see was her head and hat sticking out of the stairwell. "Its ok AJ, it seems friendly to me."
I was now getting a bit annoyed by being called 'it', "Ok, let me just say that 'it' has a name, and its Rocky."
"Well, you ain't gonna hurt us now are ya Rocky?"
"No, I don't have a reason to, but I'd like to know just-- OW!" A sharp pain in my left ribs hit me as I tried to sit up.
"Are y'all right?"
"OH. I don't know what that is." I looked at where I was holding my ribs and noticed two things, 1 there was a large bandage with a bloodstain on it, 2 my hand looked like... a cartoon.
"GAH!! My hand, am I... could someone get me a mirror please?"
"Oh, I have one right here, see?"
"Can I please use it Pinkie?"
"Only if you tell me how you know my name." She playfully said.
"Pinkie don't, Applejack could you please get Pinkie to hand me the mirror?"
"Now how did you figure out my name?"
"Yeah!! Are you psychic or something, huh, HUH?!!"
"What? No It--"
"Look, if Pinkie gives you the mirror, will you promise to tell us how you know our names?"
"I will promise to tell in front of all six of you."
"That... might be a bit of a problem."
"Why is that?"
"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, Twilight went back to her house to find some supplies for making a cure, Dashie is up at Wonderbolt Academy training, and we haven't heard or seen Rarity yet, oh I'm so worried about her!"
"Ok ok, cure for what? What is Dashie training for? And where is Fluttershy?"
"Fluttershy is downstairs with the rest of the group, Twilight is trying to find a cure because she doesn't think the Elements will fix this problem, and I don't know what Dashie is training for either."
"Oh, the mirror then?!!"
"Okayyyyyyyyyy fine, here."
I grabbed it and aimed it at my chest, slowly bringing it up to my face. "Oh. My. Gawd."
I couldn't describe how I looked besides, cartoonish. "My appearence even changed?!!"
"Did you look different before?"
I scoffed, "Oh yeah, a lot different."
Suddenly, distant gunshots and explosions were heard and I hear a rugged voice from downstairs say, "Oh damn, they're at it again! Turn off every light in the building!"
