Between Two Worlds

"Remember, when you'll be at 88 mph, the module will activate itself, create a hole in the spacetime and the second after, you'll break the speed of light, am I clear?"

The pilot of the car nodded. The scientist could only see the red screen and the eyes behind it. His body was covered by a black and metallic armor.

"Perfect. See you after the experience."

He closed the window of the vehicle and the scientist made a few steps back.

Ten seconds after

[Position: Land of Equestria]

[Local Time: Five in the morning]

*Boom*

The sound echoed in the vast field, void of any tree, lake or any sign of civilization. A white flash followed just after the sound.

*Boom*

*Boom*

The white lights lightened the dark blue sky, void of any cloud. Then, a grey thing appeared from nowhere and stopped its course immediately after its appearance. White smoke escaped from its wheels.

The mysterious and long object had four black tires, was colored in a light shade of grey with two blue striped in the middle. Finally, after a few seconds, the left door opened and a creature, walking on two legs, left the vehicle. A black armor with a red screen on the helmet, covered the body, toe to head. A grey and silver pistol was placed on the upper part of its right leg. It looked around him and sighed. Nothing but grass.

"Looks like a desert but in green and without the heat." commented the male voice, ironically.

[Location: Unknown. Please fulfill the database]

"Maybe activating the speed light system at eighty eight miles per hour messed up because it was too slow? Anyway, where the hell did I ended? This planet has a lot in common with the Earth but it's not in my database... very strange."

The radar on his HUD didn't show any sign of life at three miles around the vehicle. He walked back inside his car to look at the plasma energy tank, on the panel, which was empty. But, the solar energy tank, used to drive the car, was at one-hundred percent of his capacity.

"Great. I'm struck in a new and, surely, dangerous world. At least, I have some food and water to survive for a week. If I'm lucky, there could be a city not very far from here."

He pushed a black button and a few second later, he was rewarded by the soft growl of the V6 1500 HP that reached his ears. He smiled. He turned up the radio and began to drive. The mp3 player selected a random song, it was Pacific Coast Highway by Kavinsky.

The dark blue coat of the night slowly faded away, leaving his place to the first beams of the sun which arise at the horizon. Some stars were still here but, with time, began to disappear. The faint ghost of a smile grew on his lips. The view was just...beautiful. And the electro song was perfectly accorded with the landscape.

He continued to drive for hours, just stopping for drinking or gain a few minutes of sleep. Quickly, the scenery changed. Some trees appeared and even a dirty road. Then, he drived before a big red farm with many field filled with apple trees. He even saw a red stallion with a blondish-orange mane and a green apple cut in two on the flank, bucking a tree.

Quickly, he braked and stopped his vehicle at the entrance of the farm. The two-legged creature left the car and walked to the animal. While this, he looked around him, seeking for the owner or even, any form of intelligent life.

Then, the human shouted: "Excuse-me, is there anyone here?"

He waited for a few seconds before a voice answered him.

"Eeeyup."

"Where are you? I don't see you."

Unfortunately, he looked at his right and his head met two hooves. His body flew a few meters away, landing on the ground. Thanks to his armor, he didn't feel any pain but was a little light-headed by the hit. The human didn't have the time to recover than he felt something heavy on his chest. The red horse looked at him, serious and unhappy.

"What are ya'?"

The words left the mouth of the creature, leaving him dumbfounded and in awe. A horse who can talk! No way! He was surprised by this discovery but his brain regained control of his senses and calmly, he put his hands behind his head.

"Calm down, I come in peace. I don't mean any harm to you or your specie."

"What make ya think ya say the truth?" asked the red stallion, with a southern accent.

A faint sigh escaped from his lips.

"Nothing. As a sign of peace, I'll let you see me without my armor and explain what I am. Okay?"

He didn't wait the answer to close his eyes and let his armor became a blur, just before it disappears, letting his tanned skin feel the outside world. His icy blue eyes met those of the stallion.

"As complex as it sounds, I'm what you can call "thing/being/monster/alien" which is true for the last...or even hairless ape, your choice. But the name of my specie is Human, or Homo-sapiens. It seems I, by pure accident, traveled from my world to yours and I need to find a way to go back. By the way, my name is Ethan."

The animal put a hoof on his chin and was in deep thoughts. Can he really trust this 'creature'? What if he lied and only wanted to hurt him and the others? Almost reluancty, the red stallion decided to give a chance at this "human". A small smile appeared on his face before putting his hoof up.

"Mah name Big Macintosh but ya can call me Big Mac."

The human in the armor took the hoof with his left hand and used it to rise up.

"Thanks."

“Ah think ah can help ya."

Ethan raised an eyebrow, surprised.

“Seriously? Just like that?”

"Eeeyup. Mah sister and her friends know the Princesses."

"You're ruled by royalty?"

Big Mac nodded.

"Interesting, where are they?"

“At the border of the Everfree Forest, ah’ think.”

“Okay but…where is this forest?”

Big Mac sighed and pointed at his left, with his hoof.

“There.”

“I see. Thanks for the help, sir. And farewell…I think.”

"Yea, and Ah'm sorry for hurting ya'!"

Ethan laughed.

"Nah, it's nothing. I'm perfectly fine."

The red stallion smiled and chuckled, looking the human turn around and walk towards a big and grey thing. This guy was, at least, unique. Then, he resumed his work by bucking the nearest tree. At the same moment, the young man was at his car and opened the door. A gust of wind passed through the fields and lifted his long gray hair. His icy blue eyes looked toward the trees a few kilometers away. A small smile appeared on his thin lips before he sat down on the conductor seat and close the door.

Again, the engine came to life and growled.

Whatever he want it or not, it was the beginning of a new adventure for Ethan.

And it's going to be epic...or not.
