- >You are Anon
- >And once again, you seem to be dead.
- >Well at least you're pretty sure that the population of this planet will be safe.
- >By the looks of it, it seems you're not in a dark void like the last time, this time is more colorful. Not as crazy like when you were inside that trans-dimensional torpedo, this place seem a little more...peaceful maybe?
- >At least this place doesn't hurt your eyes, and strangely enough you are really calmed in this place, you have a strange sense of security here.
- >???: "You are not dead....human, you are currently in another plane of existence"
- >???: "While your physical body is not here, we brought your mind upon this realm, we need to talk to you about your future"
- Huh.....who goes there? If-if I'm not dead, then....where I am?
- >Looking around you notice you are totally naked, floating aimlessly around wherever the hell you are.
- >And whatever is talking to you it sounds really weird, like if 20 or more people where talking at the same time.
- >Trying to see who is talking to you, you can only see a spherical object ahead. This thing is between blue and green an seems to be able to morph into different shapes, well at least it does that while it is speaking to you.
- Huh....OK, soooo I am not dead....then, why I am here anyway?
- >???: "We needed to see you. See the being where we are about to put the future of many others."
- >???: "We have foreseen many possible futures ahead of you, and from all those possible futures there is one thing in common...."
- >???: "But that's its up to you to discover...."
- Hey wait a minute,if its to my choice ..... why did you brought me in here? Just to check me!?
- >???: "Lets just say risking an entire civilization we have been protecting for centuries is a good justification for that"
- >???: "But we are pretty sure whatever you do, everything will be fine. The path you choose is up to you".
- > I still don't get it, and besides it wasn't.....whatever you are...your fault I ended here.
- >???: "Are you so sure about that....?"
- >???: "Well time is up, we will contact you again when the time is right"
- Huh...? Hey wait-!!!!
- >Before you could continue arguing you suddenly wake up, drenched in cold sweat, hyperventilating, and of course being in a lot of pain because of the injuries in you body.....
- >You didn't take time to check your surroundings, or the fact you where lying in a tiny bed.
- Wait a minute, last time I was conscious I was bleeding to death and.....Oh shit!
- >Quickly turning to see the probably fatal wound in your body you notice a bandage where the wound should be.
- >Whoever patched you up, seems to knows at least some first aid. But you need to be sure, I mean, it still hurts as hell.
- >Also whoever patched you up, took out you flight suit , since you in your only with your military shorts, and a white short sleeved T-shirt, well almost all of it, the part where the wound is , was teared apart.
- >Tearing up the bandage, you find no wound at all, just that your skin is a little more lighter in color than the rest of it.
- But..but I'm pretty sure some of my ribs where broken, and my spleen was a goner...and....
- >Touching the light area you get even more pain.
- Son of a....that hurts! What the hell?
- >At least you are sure that you are OK and this isn't another hallucination.
- >This can't be right, sure physically you seem to be fine, but why does it hurts so much?
- >Maybe you omni-tool will give you some answers, and its good to see its still attached to you left arm.
- >Same as before you pull out the wired probe and start another scan.
- >When the scan is done this appears in the screen of your onmi-tool:
- Wound Assessment Complete.
- Diagnostic:
- -> Massive nerve damage
- Recommended actions:
- -> 4 to 5 days of full rest.
- Please go to your assigned medical bay to get a medical leave pass.
- >You are now more confused.
- Only nerve damage? I'm pretty sure I was gonna die this time. And that dream...guess massive blood loss make you dream like that.
- >Sighing and stretching in the bed you are in, you finally start to scan your surroundings.
- >First of all, you are not in a hospital.It seems you are in a wooden house of some sorts. Wooden shelves, wooden chairs, a window, and a little branch can be seen from the outside. And the bed, it so small!
- >Even when you are shorter than the average, your feet are lying out of this bed.
- At least I'm in a bed, lets not be picky with the people...or things who saved me.
- >About that, how did they save you? The wounds in your body where pretty bad, and a real challenge for the medical bay in the New Berlin.
- >How the hell a pre-industrial civilization managed to heal you at this level?
- >While still trying to figure out all this questions you hear a commotion in what's probably the lower room in this house.
- Well better go with the "I'm still unconscious" play, maybe they'll slip some info of where I am. And probably figure out what I'm gonna do from now on.
- >You relax and try to close your eyes, focusing all your mind into hearing everything you can.
- >Which is rather difficult, since your mind still going at 1000 kph.
- >At least the people around here seems to be peaceful, I mean they took care of your wounds.
- >Even though you where a total stranger. A total stranger who came out fro the sky in a 9m tall robot.
- >Not only that, also partially destroyed one of the farms of this settlement, and leaving a bipedal rare creature bleeding to death semi-conscious in the ground.
- >Sighing again you close your eyes, and start focusing in eavesdropping the conversation.
- >AJ:"But Twilight, that thin' took out half of the south field!!! Why in the hay you keeping it in yer house!?"
- >AJ:"Ya should see poor Applebloom's face when that thin' came out of Everfree Forest!"
- >AJ:"The little filly will have nightmares for weeks!"
- >So the girl with the American southern sector is probably the owner of that orchard. Well If you where her you would probably pissed as her.
- >TS: "Relax AJ,whatever this thing is, it put up a really good stunt. Also if it wanted to attack P0nyville it would have done it pretty easily, I mean....you saw that magic staff, I've never seen someone cast Fire-Element offensive magic at that scale and that quickly, not even I can do that."
- >You can hear them more clear now. Yep they surely are coming to check you up.
- >TS:"Besides, it was weird my healing magic worked so well in it, when I was casting the spell I could feel it was, how do I put it...borrowing ,maybe?... some of my magic to help healing him. And all off that happened when it was unconscious."
- >AJ:"But-but wha if it wakes up? Wha if it's dangerous?"
- >TS:"Don't worry AppleJack, it has been out for a couple of days, I guess it will need another couple of days to wake up, and besides, I can run some test on it while its still unconscious."
- >Wait....what!?
- >You have been out only a couple of days!?
- >Even in the medical bay of the New Berlin, it would have taken at least a couple of months to heal only the internal damage of your body!
- >Did it said healing magic, what the hell!?
- >Aside the weird names this things have, you are starting to feel a little nervous.
- >TS:"And besides, if it wakes up, I'm counting on you to keep him inside the bed. Please AppleJack, I will be quick with the physical tests, and now its the perfect time!"
- >AP:"Hope you know wha yer doing Twi..."
- >You now hear them almost near you, but something isn't right.
- >You are almost sure you hear at least 4 couple of .... steps, or something really close to it.
- >TS: "OK it is still out. Let me check my list quick. Quill and ink, checked. Subject unconscious, checked. fail-safe, checked."
- >Is that....handwriting? Quill, ink? Still not even pencils or pens....and even though they managed to save you? Where the hell have you ended in!?
- >AJ: "OK here goes nothin'."
- >Suddenly you feel the blanket above you is removed, though you don't feel or hear hands, or some type of appendix to do it.
- >TS: "!!! Oh the bandage fell...see AppleJack this is what I was trying to explain to you, even with those wounds, with some of my magic he is almost 100% healed. I have never seen this affinity to magic at this level, outside of us."
- >At the same time you fell what is most probably the feather of the quill through the area of your wound. An yes, it hurts instead of tickling you.
- >Since you are acting like if you are still sleeping, you slip a little grunt, and a little pained gesture. But still you manage to keep your eyes closed.
- >AJ:"It seems to be at pain when you do that"
- >TS:"Oh sorry, I'm still a little amazed." "So, lets continue the test"
- When she starts talking about you, you can hear again furious handwriting, seem she wants every detail of the strange space creature lying in this bed.
- >TS:"The creature seems to be bipedal, somewhat related to Apes or Chimpanzees described in some of the books I read from Princess Luna personal library."
- >TS: "Although this one seems to have almost no fur at all."
- >TS: "It has also some strange device attached to its front left...hoove?"
- >AJ:"And what are those strange thingies?"
- >TS:"That should be its fingers, they use them to manipulate tools and objects...I think"
- >TS:"Lets continue, Ahem...aside from the wound it had when we found him, his skin seems scarred, in other places as well."
- >Well the space navy life isn't exactly an easy one, the monitors inside the BA are quite sensitive to power surges, and occasionally they explode, sending shrapnel through all the cockpit.
- >At the same time your inside the cockpit.
- >TS:"Seems his life has been a though one, poor guy. Wonder if it was forced to drive that metal golem?"
- >Compassion? Wow has been a long time since someone felt that for you....thanks missy.
- >TS:"OK time to remove its clothes. I know he is a male, but I want to know why he uses clothes in the first place, and also, I want to see its full physiology."
- >Oh shit! No,no,no,no...I hope she's not going to do what I'm thinking she's about to do.
- >And then you feel something starting to pull your shorts.
- >OH come on! This is enough! While you grab your shorts you face this girl.
- "Hey hey hey! If you are gonna pull my shorts off at least invite me on a date first!"
- >And then you see them. And you remember the moment when you where about to pass out. The purple horse.
- Li-little horses.....that talk.....
- >There is an orange one, with a cowboy hat? Also it has a large blonde mane, and ....freckles on its face?!This one is shocked as you are,mouth wide open, not able to talk at all.
- > There purple one has violet mane mixed with little pink in the middle. This one isn't surprised at all, she seems angry.
- >TS:"We aren't little horses! We are p0nies!"
- >TS:"An AppleJack you can't be that surprised. To drive something as complex as that iron golem, you should have guessed it can talk to a certain point. Now I'm a bit surprised he can understand our language"
- We are now two that are surprised of that fact Miss....?
- >TS:"You can call me Twilight Sparkle. This one over here is AppleJack, she's the owner of the Sweet Apple Acres".
- Oh...oooohhhh she's the owner of the orchard I wrecked...well a part of it. Yeah, sorry about that,also sorry about the previous comment, I mean....you are very similar to them.
- >Twilight sighs and changes her expression. Good at least she isn't mad anymore. First lesson learned, don't call them horses.
- Umm...Miss Twilight, can you please stop trying to pull my shorts off. Its kind of embarrassing being in the nude for me.
- >TS:"But I want to see! It's for science!"
- Please Miss... AppleJack,right? A little help over here.
- >As soon as you talk to her, she snaps, and sees a little familiar situation for her.
- >AJ:"Oh su-sure... hey come on know Twi, it *cough* he's sayin' he doesn't wanna do it, you should respect his costumes. You sure you OK...what's yer name again?"
- Thanks...you can call me Anonymous. Anon for short.
- >AppleJack using her front hooves takes Twilight from her back, making some distance between the two of you. You can faintly hear her pouting about it. Seems Twilight is the extremely curious type.
- >TS:"Well, since I can no longer finish your physical tests, can I ask you some questions?"
- Sure, but can I ask you both some questions as well? I could hear moments ago one of you was writing something, but it seems pretty difficult to do it with your mouth....
- >TS: "Of course it would be difficult with my mouth, but with my magic..."
- >As soon as she says this you notice that the quill and the paper are floating .... in the air....literally floating, surrounded by some kind of purple energy.
- >You only notice now that Twilight has a horn. How could you missed that. Oh right, purple pony trying to see your junk-.
- >You also notice that Twilight's horn is glowing with the same color.
- Wha..how ...huh? Are....Are you doing that Twilight? An that horn...are...are you by any chance a...a...?
- >While saying this you are sure you have the most impressed face you've ever made. You can feel you haven't opened your eyes this much ever.
- >TS:"An unicorn, duh of course I'm an unicorn, if not how could I use magic like this?"
- >While answering you see Twilight using her magic to start moving the quill, writing what without doubt is the expresion you are making right now.
- I...I .... I don't believe it, an unicorn , that uses ..... Telekinesis? What's next a pegasi!?
- >TS: "Oh...so you are familiar with the three main species of Equestria?"
- YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME! Really!?
- >AP:" Whoa easy there pal. She's just answering yer question"
- No...sorry I mean, talking hor- *Ahem* p0nies, unicorns and pegasi. Its just so....I can't believe it. The pegasi and unicorns, they were supposed to be only myth.......
- >Twilight opens her eyes wide in awe just after hearing this. She seems very impressed at your comment.
- >TS: "Really only a myth!? This is very interesting! Also you said talking p0nies, do the p0nies and...*ahem*... horses do not talk, where you are from?
- Yes, they're only a myth and a really old one.
- And no, p0nies and horses can't talk from where I 'm from.
- You could say humans are the only ones that can talk.... you know being sentient, having feelings, emotions, developing culture, make a language, write. That's what makes humans different from the other species.
- >You can see that Twilight is furiously manipulating the quill with her magic, she's doing it with so ease.....Magic.....wonder if....
- By the way Miss Twilight, I really want to know......how did you guys healed me? I'm sure I was going to die for sure this time.
- >You can see Twilight gasp after hearing your question while doing a confuse gesture. Wonder what did you say this time?. Applejack seems confused as well.
- >TS:"You mean you can't remember what happened? Really?"
- I just remember taking the fluids and emergency shots so I would have more time before bleeding to death. Then if I'm correct you came to me and...... and that's it. I passed out .
- Oh yeah, I started to feel something in my wound, it was warm....soothing maybe? Just before passing out. I mean, us, humans can't do magic at all.
- >TS: "Now you have to be kidding me! You say you can't do any magic at all?"
- >Twilight seems a little agitated this time. This was not the answer she was expecting.
- Yeah, we are pretty fragile when comparing with other species, but we make it up with our own cleverness, you know, adapting to the environment in order to survive.
- >TS:" Then how is this possible? I was going to ask you how could you, being unconscious, borrowed from me part of my magic in order to heal your wounds in almost no time!?"
- >Twilight is know acting really weird, mumbling stuff, and walking around in circles at the side of your bed.
- >And she is still writing with her magic. Man this is quite a show.
- >TS:"No no no , this won't do, I need to research this right now! I also need to inform the Princess about this.
- >Princess...? So the government system here in this planet is a kingdom, is it safe for her to inform all this to her ruler?
- >I mean.....kingdoms back on Earth never prospered too much, and made way for many tyrannical characters....
- >And no way in hell you know how to treat royalty.
- >While you still try to decide on what to do, Twilight suddenly stops.
- >TS:"Right, I can't contact her in at least a couple of days"
- >TS: "Poor Spike, after your incident a couple of days ago, he was receiving letters from the princess non-stop for at least 3 hours. He was even receiving letters after he fainted."
- >TS: "That's why I put him under a sleeping spell. He will be fine tomorrow morning."
- Who is Spike?
- >TS: "He is my number 1 assistant here in my library, when you can move I'll introduce him to you."
- Well it seems it will be in around 2-3 days until I can move with tolerable pain.
- >Again both mares see you with a doubtful expression.
- >AJ: "And how can you know that, are you some kinda of doctor?"
- No, I'm not any class of doctor or medic, but I have this.
- >You point with your finger the omni-tool attached to your left arm. Then,you pull the wired probe to scan you once again.
- >When the infra-red scan starts, Applejack jumps back a little in surprise, while Twilight keeps getting closer an closer to the red light, with a curious expression.
- >AJ: "Woah, wha-what's that!?"
- >You can only chuckle a little at AppleJack's reaction.
- Relax, this light can't do any harm to you, its a little complicated to explain how it works, and probably take me days for you two to understand it, so in short, this light takes pictures inside of me and tells me if something's wrong.
- >TS: "Are you sure you can't do any magic? I mean....this thing seems to work with it".
- >You can only make a faint laugh.
- >Yeah, for them all the stuff that you have can only work with magic, too complicated for them.
- No, as I told you, us, humans can't do magic, this works with centuries of technological advances. If you want Twilight, I can try to explain how it works some other time.
- >Twilight giggles and jumps after hearing this. Now you have to figure out how to explain the medical probe of your omni-tool works---to a curious little purple unicorn that talks.
- So....you said Equestria....right? Is that the name of this planet?
- >TS:"Planet? Oh no, Equestria is only a Kingdom, and is where we are right now. There are many kingdoms in this planet, and probably there are still many unknown to us out there."
- >Still no unified government , huh? Well, not to be surprised, Earth United government was a very difficult challenge to achieve...according to history books.
- >AJ: "What do you mean by planet? You sayin' you're not from here?"
- >Oh boy here we go.
- Yes, that would be correct Miss AppleJack, that's true. I am not from this planet. Its....a little complicated how did I end here.
- >Both of them are surprised again. But now AppleJack seems a little anger. Here eyes are stabbing you.
- >AJ: "So you're the one driving that metallic gizmo!? The one The one that looked it was brought from Tartarus itself!?"
- Well that's another complicated question. Indeed I was controlling that metallic robot, its called Battle Armor. When I was brought here, some of them where brought with me. But that thing....that other thing, the one you called a demon, has been the enemy of mankind for quite some time.
- I will not go in detail, but those things are my enemies. And, believe me you don't want them going free in this planet.
- I was dragged to a war a few years ago, till a couple of days ago. And in short,because of that war,is how I ended on this planet with those things.
- >Well the explanation is going well somehow, at least AppleJack isn't mad at you anymore.
- Those things have no name. We call them Space Bio-hazard. So far they only have one goal. Eradicate all sentient life in the galaxy.
- >Another gasp escapes from the mouth of both mares.
- That's why I needed to fight them in here, because if I didn't stop them, they would probably killed countless lives in this planet.
- I know I wrecked this ...town, and many other settlements but at least I'm sure this planet will be safe.
- And Miss Applejack, when I can move again, I will do anything possible to repair your orchard, and repay you for all this mess.
- >Is this mare having a slight blush? Really!? Well....better get used to it, this p0nies have feelings, much alike to humans.
- >AJ: "Well aren't you some nice fella? Just when you feel ready I'll be waitin' on the fields."
- >TS: "And you were saying he could be dangerous."
- >Twilight and AppleJack start giggling. Well so far so good. These p0nies seem very friendly, even more friendly than most humans.
- And thank you as well Miss Twilight, without your magic, maybe I won't be here today. Still, there's something odd about what you said, me borrowing your magic.
- >TS: "Yeah I will ask my mentor about this. She will surely have an answer."
- >AJ:"You know Twi....we should make a brake, I'm starting to get hungry, and it seems our new friend over here is a lil' hungry as well"
- >Both mares an you can easily hear your stomach grumbling. No suprise you haven't eaten since you where in the New Berlin.
- >TS:"Perfect timing AppleJack, I was going to ask about the diet of.....hyu-mans?"
- >Ok....though question. This will be uncomfortable, since you are an omnivore, if they are like their human counterparts..... and they see this in the expression you are making right now.
- It is said "Humans" Miss Twilight. Ok I won't lie to you.....I'm an omnivore, so I can survive by eating a variety of fruits ,vegetables.....but at some point I will need to eat a source of animal protein.
- >TS: "In other words.....you eat meat"
- >You can see how worried they are by the look on their faces. If you wanna truly befriend this p0nies, you will have to gain their trust....and this isn't the way of doing it.
- I-It's not like I will go in a killing spree to eat you or something! As I said I can last some months without eating meat!
- >TS: "Y-Yeah alright, better not let anyone bedside us know you eat meat, for the time being...right AppleJack?"
- >AJ:"R-right , I won't say a word. "
- Please believe when I'm saying I won't hurt anyone of you. I have some emergency rations in my Battle Armor, those will help me get by for a few weeks.
- >Your words ease the two mares, just a little.
- >And surely the questions will keep coming and coming.
- >The next few days will be extremely though, but at least there will be no war, no space navy , no fights , no space Bio-hazards.
- >No threads. At least is a nice chance of pace in your life.
- >So for now lets do one step a time. With this ... talking p0nies.
- >You don't now why, but that doesn't sound bad at all.
- >On the contrary, you haven't been this happy for many years.
