Chapter 5 - Sombra's a bitch

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Typical, stereotypical at that. He wanted to rule Equestria, and have some fun time with the Princess, typical villains. I sat up, "Well, I'll be damned before I let you take control of my body!" I shouted into the air, unsure whether or not he heard. I grimaced at the cast that now surrounded about half my body, 'I can take away the broken bones, if you want me to.' I shook my head, still unsure if he heard, "No, I've read plenty of fiction books that all say the same thing, their is no cheat to good health. Their is always a catch, hell, there is a catch for everything, you just gotta know where to look." I heard an irritated sigh come from Sombra, 'Agghh, why didn't I choose a different human to manifest in?'

I chuckled, while the two Princesses stared at me, so they probably couldn't hear him, great. And that word is being used very loosely, very. "Um, Justin, is Sombra still inside your head?" I facepalmed with my free hand. "What'ya think?" I heard a quiet chuckle coming from the corners of my mind, it then began to fill the room. I watched in horror as my limbs turned grey, as they did, I felt this odd tingly sensation, than it felt like my legs went numb. "Sombra, what are you doing?" Slowly my hand raised as if on it's own accord, I couldn't exactly control it, but I could still feel.

'My, my, it's been awhile sense I've controlled another being, I always like the new memories and feelings the other creature has, especially if they have some things, nopony should know, and by that I mean, nopony.' I blushed knowing what he meant, so far the greyness had stopped at around my neck region. I looked up to see Celestia and Luna, trying to hide their own blushes as they must of realized what he meant. Welp, this was the exact definition of awkward alright, I have an insane 'Hey! I'm not entirely insane!' king in my head, he's digging around in my personalized memories, and well, he hopes to use me to have sex with one of the Princesses, I mean seriously? No, seriously?

'Ahh, yes, my power is now growing weak, I shall leave your body for now, but I will be back!' I shivered, as feeling began to run through my body again. I felt a presence next to me, I looked up to see Princess Celestia, wrapping a wing around me, I quickly looked down, and realized she was trying to comfort me. "Justin, whatever you think, don't think this is your fault, we will get Sombra for this." With that she got up and left, leaving me alone on the bed, I watched as the two left the room... a feeling of loneliness began to creep up on me, I quickly bottled it and went to sleep...

I awoke to the sun's warm and inviting rays. I was about to stretch when I remembered the cast, and grumbled, as much as I would have liked Sombra to heal me, there is always a catch! ALWAYS! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I yawned, sitting there feeling bored out of my mind, I pull out my MP3 player, and selected the song, Dwarf hole (diggy diggy hole).

"I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole! Diggy diggy hole, I'm digging a hole!" I muttered in tune with the song.

"I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole diggy diggy hole! I'm digging a hole!"

"I am, I am, I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole!"

"Dwarves, Dwarves, diggy diggy hole!"

I smiled, glad I still had something from Earth, and it was just my luck that my MP3 ran out of power just than, I looked crestfallen, would their magic work like in the stories? And fuel my MP3 player? Well, just one way to find out. I waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, finally after what seemed like an eternity, a nurse walked in. She floated a clipboard in front of herself, she was adorned with a ponified version of scrubs and had various colored pens on the pocket of her shirt. She gave me a gentle smile, and put a hoof against my head, "How are you feeling?" I shrugged, or tried to shrug as the cast blocked a lot of movement that I would be able to make. "Feeling good, except I'm kinda getting tired of laying here, and from what I saw, it's only been one night and a few hours."

She seemed surprised at how I managed to keep track of time so well. "So, you don't feel sick or any pain?" Now that I though about it, no, I moved my arm in the cast, to find no pain coursing through it, "No... shouldn't I be feeling pain? I broke my pinkie one time, hurt like someone branded me using a toaster, and set it up to pyromaniac settings." She seemed confused and horrified at what I said, "Someone really did that? And what's a toaster?" I sighed, sometimes it's hard trying to be funny if the people your telling the jokes don't even understand, trust me, it's happened a lot. "A toaster, you used it to make toast by putting bread in it, similar to an oven I guess, just smaller and more portable. And no, no one actually did that, just saying it was very painful, but right now I don't feel any pain or sickness."

She let loose a relieved sigh, "Okay then, I guess you must be hungry?" I nodded in response, she picked up a tray assorted with various fresh vegetables, and a drink which looked like raspberry punch, she laid it down carefully on my abdomen, and looked over me, "Anything you need, call me okay?" Luckily then I remembered my MP3, "Hey, um what's your name?" She smiled slightly, "Nurse Lilac bloom, at your service." I giggled in a totally unmanly way, "Could you possibly, charge my MP3 player?" She looked confused and I held up the black rectangle, she took it in her magical grasp and asked, "Where do I insert my charge?"

A perverted though pervaded my mind, I quickly shoved it aside, and answered, "Right there in the slot." Her deep magenta colored magic worked through the device, it beeped to life, causing her to jump, I stared at the hud, now thoroughly confused, instead of it's regular green, it was a deep maroon. "Um, thanks for charging it but, what's up with the color change?" I asked, she shrugged, "Up to Tartarus if I know, it's your device." With that she promptly left the room, another thought entered my mind, how will I survive, if I don't have meat? Because, I know for a fact, that humans need meat to survive, it has things plants don't, like calcium... milk (duh) but what about other things, that I obviously can't name...

I awoke with a start, I had a nightmare! I haven't had one of those in about 4 years! A cold sweat made itself known when a wind blew through an open window, suddenly I heard somepony shout, "Help! Someone's stealing my slippers!" Another voice made itself known, "Wait! I'm not stealing your slippers! I'm stealing this book! I was on this really awesome chap- AGH!" The door burst open, guards charged in only to see the thief long gone. They quickly charged out, pegasi taking flight through the window. I heard the steady stomp of hooves, until they were nothing but a memory.

I thought back on that voice, was it? No it couldn't be, but it sounded like Rainbow Dash. Did I arrive around the time Dash went into the hospital? Read it and Weep, that's what is was called, "Dear god." I thought aloud. If I remember correctly (which I swear to god I wish I do) it was episode 16, and of course season 2, so that's about four months before Twilight became an Alicorn, if each episode was a week apart...

Welp, looks like I'm staying here awhile...

My eyes slowly started closing when the door burst open, a guard came in and flicked on the light, "Is everypony okay in here?" He looked around, and shock rippled across his face at the sight of me, before he calmed himself. I lifted my head, "Yeah, pretty sure everyone is okay, just I don't think that pony was stealing his slippers, more a fictional book, Daring Do I think it was." He cocked his head at me, and then looked at the old light bald brown pony in the bed across from me, "Really? What would they want with a story book? Anyways, goodnight, hope you get better soon." With that he clicked off the light and walked out.

My eyes began to close once more, and I soon found myself in blissful sleep...

Mountains of Diamond surrounded me, hills of ruby and emeralds, I heard howling in the background, I spun around to see a group of Diamond Dogs charging. I have to say that scared me into taking a step back, I felt weightlessness as I began to fall backward, my last sight of the land were the dogs chewing on the mountains and hills. I seemed to sink through the ground, I fell face first next to a pond with Pinkie nearing the edge, was this from the episode Too Many Pinkies?

I saw her melt into the pool, my legs moved of their own accord as I followed her in. I found myself, in a different place, the mane 6 were sprawled over a rock, a giant red dragon staring down at them triumphantly, Fluttershy kicked up off the ground, and told him off, I watched in awe and fear as she, literally took out a dragon with simple words. When she landed I floated up into the sky, to see discord back, he and Fluttershy were on a frozen lake, I don't remember the specifics but she got Discord to become reformed.

The air turned chilly, and a bright flash of green light, I was in the ballroom, changelings were scattered around, Chrysalis, was watching over her army in an air of happiness and evil greed, she turned and her eyes bored deep down inside me...

I felt fire around my feet as I descended once more, the last thing I saw were the dark green, tinged with purple dark eyes of... King Sombra, he grinned at me, like a play thing, to be used and then thrown away. I felt a soft caressing glow from, somewhere behind, I spun around and sprinted away from the monstrosity of a pony behind me, feeling my feet stamp against nothingness, as I neared a light...

I lay on a soft patch of grass, the sun overhead, with birds tweeting in the distance, I sat up, and groaned, I looked around to finally set my gaze on Princess Luna, she gave me a sympathetic look, and whispered "Justin, that was quite a nightmare, I've never seen anything like it, not even the ponies here could conjure up such evil and hatred in their minds. Tell me, what's on your mind?" She spoke in such a soothing tone, I found it very hard to be resilient, as she spoke I wanted to curl up next to her and tell her all my problems, but one thing kept me from doing that to my favorite pony in the whole series...

I was afraid of the dark...

I don't just mean, it's the darkness scary! ooooo!! I mean really, I had a major phobia of the dark, my mind really can conjure up some crazy and scary shit. One time I thought I was being watched by a werewolf-slug with razor sharp teeth, and red eyes, it was really just the light of the fire alarm, reflecting off a lamented picture of a deer. It still scared me at night though. "Justin, you have nothing to fear, I won't hurt you, or let any harm come to you, okay?" I nodded and sat next to her on the grass.

"Princess Luna," She cut me off by putting a hoof on my mouth, "Just call me Luna, thank you." I took a shaky breath, "Okay, Pri- Luna, you already know about King Sombra, but I can tell you bad things are on the way within the next few months," I sighed, "I guess your wondering how I know?" I shrugged, "On Earth, where I came from, we have this show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It depicts this world, and each episode teaches us more and more about friendship, but..." I faltered, causing Luna to wrap a wing around me.

"There are a lot of people out there that hate the show down to their very guts. I guess it has to do with the 'girly' feeling towards the show but, it could also be how war-like my species is, just about everyday, you will see violence, no matter how young you are. You can't keep it from tainting you, it will corrupt you if your not careful. I realized this along time ago, but I guess now that I talk about it, I see how bad it really is." I finished with a gulp, Luna looked down upon me with more sympathy than I think anyone (besides my mother) had ever given me.

"Okay, Justin, I'm going to wake you up now." With that she lit her horn, which tore my consciousness from the false reality as I was transferred into my body.

'Ahh, sleeping beauty awakes!' He cackled, I threw a mental punch at him, "Sombra, your a bitch..." I saw that I was covered grey, and I was already standing up...
