Chaos Throughout Time

...Where am I...?

It was a nice Spring day in Ponyville. The animals were happy, the bird were chirping, the ponies are doing their usual daily thing like shopping or chatting with friends. Everything was ordinary...until now. Near the end of town, just outside a large apple farm, we find something strange. A unicorn is lying on the ground, beaten, bloody, and broken. His coat is a dark shade of gray, almost black. His mane and tail are a matching silver color and both are very messy, as if he were in a battle. His cutie mark is a pair of crossed lances over a shield. He certainly doesn't look like be belongs there. After a few minutes he is found by somepony. An orange earth pony mare with a blond mane and tail as well as a cowpony hat. "What the hay..?? Hey, you alright there mister? ...Ah sure hope he ain't dead..better bring him in." The mare tries to pull him onto her back, but is unable to. "Gosh darn it....He's heavy! Maybe ah should call Twilight...Uh..you say here.." She gallops off into town, leaving the wounded stallion alone again.

While she is gone, the stallion finally awakens. "Huh..? Ow ow ow!" He tries to stand  but his broken leg gives out under him and he falls back down. "My..my leg..." When he hears the sound of hoof-steps coming, He quickly jumps up to his feet, but ends up falling back onto the ground in pain. "Must..get somewhere safe..!" He tries to pull himself away, but cries out when one of his wounds opens up more. "Crap...I can't...I can't do it..." Suddenly he hears a scream and gasps from behind him. "..." His vision starts fading from the loss of blood as he starts hearing different voices in his head.

"He...He's awake!" Yelled the mare that found him earlier. She has an obvious southern accent.

"O-Oh my goodness..he's..bleeding..!" A soft  but panicky voice this time.

"Oh dear..I hope he is alright." A proper sounding voice...possibly a pony from Canterlot?

"Whoa...what happened to him???" Sounds boyish, but could still be a mare.

"Wooow that looks painful. What should we do Twilight??" She sounds...excitable.

"Everypony just stay calm..!" Sounds a bit more calm and organized, though still panicking. Suddenly the stallion feels his body leave the ground and float in the air, courtesy or the previous voice's magic. "Let's get him inside. Applejack, do you have a spare room in your house?"

"N-No ah don't..but ah suppose he can use my bed for now." Twilight nods and leads the way into the farm carrying the stallion with her magic. "Fluttershy, you're the best with this kind of thing. Can you see what you can do about his wounds?"

"O-Okay I'll try my best..." The soft voice, Fluttershy, says as she flies off to get medical supplies. They continue into the house and into Applejack's bedroom where they lay the stallion on the bed. Fluttershy returns soon after and begins working on his wounds while the other ponies go downstairs to talk while she works.

"Wha...Where am I..?"

Fluttershy squeals and jumps away at the sound. "H-He's awake...! Girls..!" The other ponies quickly run upstairs and into the room to find that he is trying to sit up and look around. The calm voice, known as Twilight Sparkle, is the first to step forward. "Are..Are you okay sir..?" The stallion is breathing heavily and still can't see very well, but he tries to sit up anyways. "I...am fine..OW!!!" Fluttershy quickly but gently pushes him back down and continues treating his wounds. "Y-You have to stay still or it will only hurt more.." He groans in pain, then sighs when the pain starts to let up a bit. "...Thank you...where am I..? How did I get here..?"

This time Applejack steps up next to Twilight. "You're on our farm, Sweet Apple Acres! As fer how ya got here....well ah just found ya on the ground a while ago, just outside the farm." The stallion silently thinks for another couple of minutes while Fluttershy works on him, then asks a more important question. "....What about..the Princesses? Are they still okay..?" Twilight tilts her head in confusion at this. "Huh..? What do you mean?" "Please...are they?" "Well yes of course they are.....if you don't mind me asking so quickly, who are you?"

He sighs in relief from the news, then looks up at the mares. Now that he is able to see better he gets a good look at them. The purple unicorn is the one addressing him, Twilight. There is also the orange earth pony with the accent, and the yellow Pegasus tending to his wounds. There is also a cyan blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail, a white unicorn with a purple mane and tail, as well as pink earth pony with a darker pink mane and tail. From seeing them, he is half surprised to know they are all mares, considering the sound of the cyan Pegasus' voice. "....My name is Lancer. I am the Piercing Horn of Celestia's Royal Guard, and captain."

"Cool name! I'm Rainbow Dash! Greatest flier in Equestria!" The blue Pegasus speaks, still in her boyish voice, while hovering in the air. The pink pony starts jumping up and down excitedly. "I'm Pinkie Pie! Nice to meet you! This is so exciting! A mysterious pony shows up in Ponyville..Oh oh oh oh oh! I need to throw you a party!" Applejack rolls her eyes at Pinkie and starts talking before she decides to continue. "Ah'm Applejack. Nice to meet ya!" The white unicorn steps forward next and smiles. "I am Rarity. Its a pleasure to meet you Mister Lancer." He nods and turns his head to Twilight. "And I'm Twilight Sparkle. Its nice to meet you Lancer!" "You as well." He looks down at the Pegasus currently bandaging his leg. "What is your name..?"

"U-Um...I-I'm..Fluttershy...."

"Fluttershy....a fitting name. It is a pleasure to meet you all. If I may ask..where would Canterlot be from here?" He manages to sit up a little  since the pain has gone down a bit, while Twilight speaks. "Are you from there? It's just past the forest and up the mountain. It only takes half a day to get there by train." Lancer looks confused at this. "What is a..train..?"

"A train is...wait how do you not know what a train is?" Twilight asks with just as much confusion. Lancer stares at her for a moment. "...I don't believe there is any such thing called a train..." Twilight trots up to him and looks him over for a moment. "...What exactly were you doing before we found you..?"

At this, Lancer's face changes to one of sadness as he looks down into his lap. "Its...a long story..."
