Name's Joe
The trail back to a tornado stricken home and a b.l.a.m. worth moment of a sea serpent.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhen I awoke, I was surprised to find, I heard music.
Logic, is that from where I think it is?
Yes it is.
Good choice, I love that game.
I then turned over and sat up, and proceeded to pop my back and stretch my arms.I then, carefully, plopped myself into my wheelchair.
Seeing as how I have a wheelchair means that this isn't some weird coma dream.
You're getting sloppy on your knowledge of the human body.A comatose patient has next to zero brain activity, so no dreams.Also,this means that everything that happened with those weird equine things actually happened,I disliked alot of things about our home world,but it was beautiful.There's so much we never got to do.
Logic,we need to come to terms with this,at the very least, relieve this anger and regret.
You're right. Oh shit.
What's wrong?
Remember Grandpa's weapon cache?All those alien weapons in the wrong hands could be disastrous.If they can reverse engineer them, this could start a war.
How?
Every world has a third world country.When you oppress something it will only become stronger and more violent.
Oh shit.THEY'VE JUST BEEN SITTING THERE OVER A WEEK.We need to go back.
Not the guns! We need to gather Nightlight, or whatever her name is, and get them now!
We"ll need to talk to Twilight about us going back there when she wakes up.For now let's look up the races that live here and see what could be possible threats.
Why don't we talk to her about this now?
Yeah!
Because,her room is up the stairs and the guest room is on the bottom floor.
Oh, right
Stairs,every wheelchairs worst enemy.
-3 hours later-
So let's review on the species that make up the majorities of the of the area where certain country would be.
Griffons are in Europe,Zebras are in all of Africa, Diamond Dogs are in Germany,Cows are in Canada and Sweden,Sheep are from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan along with horses, not ponies, Mules and Donkeys are in Mexico, Minotaurs are in Russia, and Dragons are in Ireland and Buffaloes are in most of Australia.
I still find it odd that most of these continents are in,more or less the same areas as the continents back home.
That and just how different the countries states of being are to Earth.
Yes,most of Gryphus is a third world country,and Britain is completely missing.
I know, its like someone literally just cut it out of that spot.But not everything here can be the same for convenience.
Then I heard the creak of a door and a clopping sound.
"Twilight! So nice of you to join me in a session of early morning studying!"
"Wow,You're up already?How long have you been up?"
"I don't know,feels like I've been up for about thirty minutes or so."
I then checked my watch and winced.
"Holy Sh-, Shoot. I've been up for three hours."
"Wow, are you always an early riser?"
"No, just couldn't get back to sleep.I had something on my mind.You remember that weapon I gave you?My Grandfather had an arsenal of that kind of stuff and other kinds of weaponry.I thought it would be a bad Idea to just leave that stuff in there where anyone can find it.I didn't think it would be a good idea to go alone without a guide to help me find my way back to my house.It's only about a mile away from that castle."
"Hold on,are you saying that an arsenal of cannons that can fit in a pony's hoof have been sitting in the middle of the everfree forest for over a week?"
"Yes,You and me have got to go in there and bring them here for safe keeping."
"Hold on,wouldn't they be safer there?Most ponies are too terrified of the Everfree to be looking around there."
"Yes, but whose to say another race wouldn't eventually go exploring in there and possibly find the weapons? We can't let that be a possibility."
"Your right.We need to get them back here as soon as possible.I'll round up the girls."
"That might not be necessary,All we need is a small cart,and some bright ribbon to tie along the trees to help us find our way back.A large group of ponies going into a forest that many fear will draw too much attention,We can't have anyone knowing about that house until we clean it of anything potentially dangerous."
"Well then we better get those supplies and get those weapons out of there,The longer they are out there, the higher probability of something coming across those weapons."
-45 minutes later-
After quickly heading to AppleJack's farm and to Rarity's business,Carousel Boutique,We had a small cart and 10 yards of highlighter yellow ribbon.
It's a good thing most of the ponies were still asleep.I don't want to know how they would have reacted to an ape thing walking around.
I'm still surprised we weren't spotted,though I did think I saw something teal move at one point,I couldn't tell what it was though.
Let's hope it was nothing.Now back to what we were doing.
Twilight was leading me towards the castle from what she remembered. Every ten yards or so I etched a large ring in a tree using Slica for the first 40 yards or so until we were more or less out of view of any possible villagers.Then,from that point on I wrapped some yellow ribbon around a tree so if for whatever reason we need to find our way here at night.
As I looked around these woods I began to notice a bit more then I had originally.The woods themselves were dark and gave an eerie feeling from the place.Though I must admit,as eerie as it was, it was fairly beautiful.There was a wide variety of bewitchingly, beautiful flowers and plants.This forest was beautiful but deadly,no less than five times did I see an animal take a bite out of a plant then fall over dead or paralyzed.If I didn't know better,I'd say the forest was giving us a warning.
Something was disturbing me,not the fact I saw a few animals die from flowers that looked like simple flowers,it was a sound somewhere not too far off,the sound of flapping wings.I looked behind me and noticed something very far back from where we came, a single cyan feather.
"Twilight, stop right here."
"Why?"
"I think were being followed by a friend of yours" I then pointed to the cyan feather.
"DASH!"Twilight shouted to the before mentioned pegasus.
"Buck!"
Dash then slowly descended from the thick canopy of the forest.
"Why did you follow us?"
I then ste-, rolled, in between the two of them.
"It's kind of obvious actually.She doesn't trust me and when you see one of your friends entering a place that you know is dangerous with someone you don't trust,you get worried and follow them."
"Well,yeah."The pegasus responded.
"Well that's completely understandable.You only wished to make sure your friend was fine,If I remember correctly you were the element of loyalty,Yes?Well it would be against your nature to let your friend be put into possible harm's way."
"Yeah, I guess" She now looked at me with unease,obviously because she was probably creeped out.
I find it odd how I'm able to figure out a person's character easily, but read emotions almost worse then Sheldon Cooper.
Which is what I'm here for.We make such a great team.
"Well the more the merrier! But first things first,You weren't followed yourself were you?"
"No."
"Good, We'll fill you in on the way."
- 10 minutes later-
"So how many of these 'guns' do you have at your house in the woods?"
"Well,if I rember correctly,about 5 or 6 with 3 boxes of ammo each."
"WHAT?!?"They both exclaimed/asked in unison.
"Yeah, my Grandfather was a gun nut even though ironically he was a field medic in the Korean war."I said very stoically.
"Your speaking about these wars as if they were nothing."Was Twilight's response.
"Well, wars happened every couple of decades or so.Luckily,not too many wars were fought on Us soil so I haven't been in war.I know men go out there to lose their lives to make sure we are able to have freedom of speech and civil rights, but I don't understand why people can't just agree to disagree.Then again,you sadly didn't get the human that knows the most about our history.The Texas education system is complete shite.I swear, I only learned about Texas and the civil war from 4th grade to 8th grade.My history teachers in high school assumed I knew enough about world history already, so they only taught me about modern politics.Luckily,I have a few history books back home that I'm sad to say I've never read."
That last sentence gave me a 'seriously?' look from Dash and Twilight.
"What? I honestly didn't think I needed to know as much about history as much as I medicine seeing as how I was planning on becoming a Doctor."
As,I followed the two, I noticed the trail led to a river with no bridge.
"So how do you expect us to swim across with my broken legs?"
"We have an old friend that lives in the lake."Twilight responded.
"Steven!"Dash yelled
"Who's Stev-WHOA!" Suddenly a very large purple serpent rose from the lake.One of the first thing I noticed was the sheen of his scales,that and he had a pompadour and a moustace.The second thing,being one-half of his moustache looked to be partially made up of what looked like Rarity's tail.Several things ran through my mind, three being these
OH FUCK!
WHY DOES HE HAVE RARITY'S TAIL FOR A MOUSTACHE?!?
KILL IT NOW!
"Hello girls!Steven Magnet,at your service!"
Why does he sound so flamboyant?
Welp.Now I've seen everything.
