  1. Chapter 4, we are back to Anon
  2.  [spoiler]I'm sorry ;_; POV changes aren't my strong suit[/spoiler]
  3.  
  4.  
  5. >A tunnel
  6. >You don't know where you are, but you don't like it
  7. >Can't see anything. You can smell the stale, but moist air though
  8. >Droplets of water fall around you, leaving behind a constant noise of dripping water
  9. >Feeling around your pockets you find a small flashlight and a pocket knife
  10. >Clicking on the flashlight you shine it away from you, down the tunnel
  11. >Sight restored, good
  12. >The walls are made of cement brick, like your in some sort of subway tunnel
  13. >Might as well follow the stereotype right?
  14. >You begin walking slowly forward, knife reverse gripped in your right hand. While the flashlight is shining bright in your left
  15. >The crunch of your boots on dirt and grime are the only noise you get besides the water droplets and your own breathing
  16. >Tunnel seems to be going straight, no deviations or side passageways
  17. >Still walking grants nothing but straight tunnel, it's getting slightly disorienting
  18. >Trudging on you go at a jog, flashlight at a slight bob but you can still see
  19. >Keeping your breathing correct you press on for what feels like about 200 yards or so
  20. >Movement
  21. >Shit what was that
  22. >Stopping dead you raise the flashlight up and, just in case, ready your paltry 4 inch pocket knife
  23. >Scanning your surroundings brings nothing, but the hairs on the back of your neck say otherwise
  24. >The sound and feeling of your heart beating in your ears is only adding to the panic
  25. >Blood's running faster, gotta calm down
  26. >*growl*
  27. >Oooooh shit
  28. >Wheeling around, light brings nothing. Just a tunnel
  29. >"EXPECT US ANONYMOUS, FOR YOUR LIFE WILL BE IN OUR HANDS"
  30. >Okay what the fuck is this shit
  31. >It's like Front Line Assembly's vocals
  32. >"YOU WILL EXPECT, AND ACCEPT US. OR PERISH"
  33. >Still creepy as shit
  34. >Turning back around something runs at you so quick you had barely caught sight of it
  35. >All you saw was a black blur and the sound of...clopping hooves
  36. >Then, nothing
  37. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  38. >"Anon wake up!!"
  39. >Jerking awake you sit up on the bed, Twilight's at the foot of the bed with a very, very concerned look on her face
  40. "Twilight?" ugh "What the hell happened?"
  41. >"I should be asking you that Anonymous. I could hear you flailing around from the kitchen"
  42. >Looking at your hands they're in a cold sweat, and you're still breathing heavily
  43. "Yeah, I'm fine, just...had a bad dream you know?"
  44. >She softens up at this
  45. >"Well, alright then. There's eggs and waffles in the kitchen if you want any breakfast"
  46. >Free breakfast?
  47. >Hell yeah
  48. "Awesome"
  49. >Trying to get that dream out of your mind you get out of bed and make your way down to the kitchen
  50. >You're still amazed that a tree can even be a house let alone a library
  51. >Well you're also in a world of magical pastel p0nies so you guess logic and reason go out the door here
  52. >On the kitchen table sits a plate stacked with waffles, with another toppled with eggs. All this brought together with a jug of orange juice.
  53. >Sitting down you serve yourself some waffles and eggs
  54. >They're delicious
  55. "Twilight these are great, only thing in the world that would make this any better is bacon"
  56. >She gives you a questioning look from across the table
  57. >"Bacon? What's bacon?"
  58. >What
  59. >She doesn't know what bacon is?
  60. "Oh, it's meat from a pig, fried. Usually is a breakfast food in my old world, very popular"
  61. >"Wait"
  62. >Twilight's face holds a mix of fear and curiosity
  63. >"You...*gulp* eat meat?"
  64. >Why is she so scared all of the sudden?
  65. "Well, yeah I do. What's wrong?"
  66. >With a tremble she put her hooves together nervously
  67. >"Ummm, well. Just ummmmm, *he he* ummmm, I thought you ....you were a...*shudder* h-herbavore and..."
  68. >Wait, is she thinking I'm going to eat her?
  69. "Wait, Twilight. I'm not going to eat you. Meat is a big part of our diets but we don't necessarily need it."
  70. >You really hope you don't have to go vegetarian. You can't deal with that. You need steak dammit.
  71. "Don't worry about it, I couldn't eat anything that can talk back anyway. It would feel...horrible"
  72. >She softens up, but still has a cautious aura around her
  73. >"Well, if you want. We can see about getting a trade line from Gryphonia to P0nyville, get you some meat. If the Princess approves it"
  74. >They have a Princess?
  75. "You guys have a Princess?"
  76. >She looks shocked now
  77. >"What?! I didn't tell you about the Princesses? Well there's Princess Celestia, she is our primary ruler. She raises the sun and takes care of the day time court and-"
  78. "Raises the sun?"
  79. >You don't believe this, it's the fucking sun. Not a lot of things can budge it let alone a Princess
  80. >"Yeah, she raises and sets the sun everyday so Princess Luna can raise and lower the moon"
  81. >She's saying this like you were supposed to know this in kindergarten or something
  82. "That's hard to believe, the sun in my world doesn't move. The Earth itself does. Also, the moon orbits around the Earth, so it gives the illusion that it lowers and raises every day."
  83. >"What? That doesn't even make sense! How can they just move without magic?"
  84. "Well, like I said last night, or this morning rather. Magic doesn't exist in my world. We have lots of technology, like my guns and that car outside, to make up for it."
  85. >She raises an eyebrow
  86. >"Your world is weird"
  87. >She didn't just say that
  88. "Says the resident of a land of magical pastel colored p0nies"
  89. >"What's so weird about that?"
  90. >You have to give a chuckle, this mare.
  91. "Same as what my world looks to you Twilight, now I'm going to go out to my car and search around and see what I have with me"
  92. >You get up from the table and head towards the door
  93. >"Wait up! I have questions!"
  94. "That's fine, come on"
  95. >Walking out into the morning sun you head around the tree house to your car
  96. >Stopping dead you look on in shock
  97. >Your car is surrounded in different p0nies, and they're poking at your car like it's some animal
  98. >Looking to the top you nearly scream
  99. >There's kid p0nies...on top...walking on your car
  100. "OFF!"
  101. >All at once the p0nies jump up and look at you scared as hell, and in a giant poof of smoke they're gone
  102. >"Wait! Everyp0ny stop, he's not dangerous!"
  103. >Too late, every one of the p0nies had sped off
  104. >Eye still twitching you check for scratches
  105. >None are found
  106. "No p0nies will be dying today"
  107. >Twilight's shoots you a stern, disappointed look
  108. >"That wasn't very nice"
  109. "They were on my one prized possession, I saved up a 120,000 dollars for this car. I'm sorry but it's the one thing I will not tolerate anyone messing with"
  110. >Shaking off your terror you unlock the door and open up the driver door
  111. >Popping the trunk you circle to the back of the car and lift up the trunk lid
  112. >Inside is two duffle bags and a long box that you know contains your Mosin
  113. >Picking up the first bag you find a bunch of camping clothes and gear
  114. >Shit this was from last week when you took Kimberly out hunting
  115. >A bit mildewy smelling but nothing a good wash won't take care of
  116. >Opening the second one you find more clothes, some toiletries and such
  117. >When you went to visit your mom, after your brother had left for the Army
  118. >Go in dad's footsteps
  119. >A tear is creeping up on your eye
  120. >Wiping it away you zip up the bag and set it outside the car
  121. >Lifting up the box you open it up and check the Mosin
  122. >Everything’s there, so far so good
  123. >Looking back in the trunk you spot the ammo box full of 7.62 rounds you bought for the Mosin
  124. >Aww yeah 800 rounds of ammo
  125. >Only about 20 or 30 left for your pistol...
  126. >Damn you feel stupid for emptying that mag in the air last night
  127. >Would've had another 15 rounds
  128. >Shaking your head to yourself for your own stupidity you heft both bags and bring them inside
  129. >"What're those?"
  130. "Bags, luckily I'm not that tidy when it comes to some things, so now I have extra clothes. And some camping supplies should the occasion pop up"
  131. >Twilight gives off a hum of acknowledgment as you go back to the trunk of your car
  132. >Looking inside there's a small metal box in the back corner of the trunk
  133. "That isn't..."
  134. >Reaching for it you take it in your hands
  135. "It is..."
  136. >"What's wrong Anonymous?"
  137. >Opening the box up you find exactly what you expected
  138. >On one side of the open box sits a Beretta 92FS,besides the mag in it there's 4 more in the box
  139. >The first handgun you've ever owned
  140. >Before your dad left for Iraq he bought this for you
  141. >His words when he gave it to you still ring in your ears
  142. >"Son, this is a 92FS, the same pistol I will have overseas. I want you to protect this house with the same gun I'm going to use to protect our country. Promise me you'll never rid of it"
  143. >You had left it at your mom's for her to use as protection
  144. >Holding back a sniffle you lift up the cover for the other side
  145. >You know what was there but you can't keep your heart from stopping all the same
  146. >In the other side is the pre-treaty Mauser C96 that your family has had ever since your great uncle brought it back from Germany in 1945
  147. >Can't help but give a slight smile
  148. >"You have a lot of those "pistol" things huh?"
  149. >Looking down at her she's eyeing the box you're carrying
  150. "Heh, my house in my old world had dozens of these, and other bigger ones too"
  151. >"You collected them?"
  152. "Yeah, I always liked guns since I was a kid. Think it was because my father was in the military-"
  153. >Damn it Anon get your shit together
  154. "Anyway, I was always enamored with the responsibility of owning a gun"
  155. >She cocks her head to the side
  156. >"Responsibility?"
  157. "Yeah, these are extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. Let's say, hypothetically, I was to point this at you and pull this trigger. You would be dead in an instant. Now I would never do that because I'm not a bad person, and also I quite like having your company. But my point is that having these is a big responsibility. To own something that has the power of taking another life comes with things that one would need certain kinds of discipline for. Get what I'm saying?"
  158. >She's seems to get it from the looks of it
  159. >"I...guess so. Are they really that dangerous?"
  160. "That and more. I would give you an example but I don't want to scare anymore p0nies here. I don't want you guys to not like me"
  161. >"I doubt they would Anon. Well, besides the scare you gave them earlier-"
  162. "My car was being WALKED on there was nothing I could do"
  163. >"Yeeeah ANYway. Why don't we go and introduce you to my friends? I'm sure they'll love to meet you"
  164. >Sounds good, nothing else to do. You have everything you can get
  165. "Okay, gimme a sec"
  166. >Setting the box down you grab the shoulder holster for the Beretta that was under the gun and strap it on
  167. >Racking the slide on the Beretta you decock it and slide it into the holster
  168. >After that you grab the four other magazines and slide them into the mag holders under your right arm
  169. >Ahh that familiar feel
  170. "Alright, all set"
  171. >Twilight eyes the holster
  172. >"All that just for that pistol thing?"
  173. >You give her a slight chuckle
  174. "Well yeah. Carrying these things around in your pockets isn't very safe, or comfortable for that matter."
  175. >"Well alright, I would introduce you to Spike but he's in Canterlot helping the Princess re-organize the Grand Library."
  176. >You look to her while you guys start walking
  177. "Spike? Who's he a boyfriend of yours?"
  178. >Twilight does a double take and adopts an amusing face of slight anguish
  179. >"No! He's a baby dragon. He's my assistant!"
  180. >Baby dragon?
  181. "Baby dragon? There's dragons here? Like, big, flying, fire breathing dragons?"
  182. >If there is you're going to need a bigger gun
  183. >Why couldn't of you had the Lahti in your car?
  184. >It wouldn't have fit anyways fuck it
  185. >"Yeah, Spike's just a baby dragon. He can breathe fire but not to the extent of the older ones"
  186. "Ahh"
  187. >"Mhm, so first we can go to Pinkie's. I'm surprised she actually hasn't come beating down the door this morning. She loves new p0nies"
  188. >You look down to her
  189. "But, I'm not a p0ny. How do you know she'll like me?"
  190. >"Oh she will. Trust me. Pinkie is ...Well, let's just meet her. You'll see"
  191. >With a shrug and an "okay" the two of you make your way into the center of town
  192. >The different p0nies of this town are giving you mixed looks of fear, curiosity, or apprehension
  193. >You try to give them a smile and a wave, some look to soften up. But others aren't buying it
  194. "Doesn't look like they want me here Twilight. I ain't going to get lynched am I?"
  195. >"What's 'lynched'?"
  196. >Oh
  197. >Okay then
  198. "Never mind, forget I said it. Just these p0nies don't seem to like me too much"
  199. >She looks up to you with a smile
  200. >"Don't worry Anonymous, I'm sure they'll come around. Once they learn that you saved Fluttershy's life. They'll know you're not all bad"
  201. "I guess you're right"
  202. >Walking towards that gingerbread house you saw on the way in here you take time to marvel at it
  203. >It looks like you can eat it, it looks delicious actually
  204. "Is that building edible?"
  205. >"What? No it isn't. Why would it be?"
  206. >You give her a shrug
  207. "Just a thought"
  208. >"Well anyways. This is where Pinkie works and lives. It's called Sugarcube Corner"
  209. "So it's a bakery-"
  210. >"OH MY GOSH HI THERE!"
  211. >Where did all the pink come form
  212. >You can hear Twilight's not so amused voice
  213. >"Pinkie, this is Anonymous. Anonymous...Pinkie"
  214. >The pink disappears and you've gained your eyesight back
  215. >In front of you sits a pink p0ny with huge blue eyes and even more pink hair that looks a lot like cotton candy
  216. "Umm, hi"
  217. >Pinkie starts to giggle and hop up and down
  218. >"WheredidyoucomefromIveneverseenanythinglikeyoubeforeyouretallwowdoyoulikepartiesIlovepartiesIthrowpartiesforeveryp0nyaroundIcanthrowapartyforyoutooand-"
  219. >Wut
  220. >With your headache coming back you really don't need this
  221. >"I’m gonna go in and set up things for PAR-TAY! See you p0nies later!"
  222. >In a blink of an eye the pink menace is back in the store, doing...you don't even know
  223. "Well that was...interesting"
  224. >Twilight looks to you as she motions us to be off
  225. >"She is quite the p0ny. I'd expect a big party tonight with the rest to the townsp0nies. But let's go visit Rarity and introduce you to her"
  226. >With the two of you off again walking through town you get your phone out to check the time
  227. >9:37 A.M
  228. >Twilight notices your phone again
  229. >"What is that by the way? I've never seen anything like it"
  230. >You wiggle the phone in your hand
  231. "Oh, this? It's called a phone. We humans used it to talk to each other over any distance instantly. It does a lot of other things like play music, movies, games, and browse the Internet and stuff like that so it isn't completely useless now"
  232. >"Internet? What's that?"
  233. >You keep forgetting they don't have this technology
  234. "It's a...hmmmm. Let's say it's a big net of information and other things that anyone can access at any time"
  235. >"Like a library?"
  236. >You give her a nod
  237. "A lot like a library actually"
  238. >She smiles at that as the two of you make your way past the Treebrary and head towards the other side of town
  239. >After some more question answering and other small talk the two of you approach a very heavily decorated white building, with what looks to be a carousel on top of it
  240. >Reading the sign ti says "Carousel Boutique"
  241. >Ah, explains the carousel
  242. >The two of you walk up to the door and open it up to reveal a very ornate and colorful shop, with...p0nyquins? Adorning every bit of window space sporting different dresses and suits that look very well made
  243. >The whole shop exudes a feeling of posh and high-class
  244. >Funny thing in a town that, to you, seems to enjoy more simple things
  245. >Twilight trots up to the front desk and rings the little gold bell that sits on top of it
  246. >A very high class voice replies to the ring "Coooominnnnnng"
  247. >Down a set of spiral staircases in the corner of the room the p0ny you assume is Rarity trotting down and meets you guys at the foot of it
  248. >Pure white coat, deep purple squiggly mane. Ah, another Unicorn
  249. >"Hello there Twilight, what brings you to my sh-"
  250. >She finally notices you and a surprised look shows itself on her face
  251. >You give her a small wave
  252. "Hi, I'm Anon. You must be Rarity?"
  253. >She seems to get over herself as she gives a quick shake and a million dollar smile
  254. >"Hello there, I'm Rarity the shopkeeper here for The Carousel Boutique. Anything involving fashion is my passion"
  255. >She seems to catch notice of your clothes, as she starts to circle you. Inspecting your shirt and pants
  256. >"My dear, what are these?"
  257. >She sounded a bit...disgusted? Not quite the word but it's the only one you can use to describe it
  258. "They're, my clothes"
  259. >Shock shows itself on her face
  260. >"But my darling, you must look marvelous all the time! These, these rags just won't do! Come with me to the back, we must fix this"
  261. >You look to Twilight for some insight into what just happened, but all she does is this weird shrug and proceeds to follow Rarity into the back room
  262. >With a sigh you follow after the two unicorns, entering into what looks like a giant dressing room. More p0nyquins and other scraps of fabric laying about in random places
  263. >A three sided mirror sits upon a raised platform in the back of the room
  264. >”Now Anonymous, I'd like you to stand on that platform and remove your clothing so I can take measurements”
  265. >Alright what
  266. “Ummm, why can't you just measure me with my clothes on?”
  267. >She looks at you like you just told her to go fuck herself
  268. >”But my dear! I can't get proper measurements if you're still clothed!”
  269. >With a heavy sigh you unbuckle the holster for your Beretta and lay it gently on the floor
  270. >Rarity starts to move towards it before you stop her
  271. “I wouldn't touch that if I were you. It's not a piece of clothing, trust me”
  272. >She answers your request with a slight tinge of sass but instantly gets over it and waits for you to be done
  273. >Unlacing your boots you set them down on the lower platform
  274. >Slowly shedding multiple layers of clothing you finally stand there in your boxers
  275. >The sudden draft is making you shiver
  276. >Rarity casts a curious look at your boxers
  277. >Being the conscientious fuck that you are you glance down quickly  to make sure your Pink Floyd isn't poking through your boxers
  278. >Nope, nothing. Then what's she looking at?
  279. “Can I help you with something?”
  280. >Pointing a hoof at your boxers she speaks with a bit of curiosity this time
  281. >”What're those?”
  282. >Hm
  283. “These?”
  284. >You say as you tug a bit at the waistband
  285. “They're called underwear, humans use it for comfort and to protect our...more private areas”
  286. >A slight redness shows on the pure white unicorn's face
  287. >”Oh, ohhhhhh. Well, we'll be needing those off for accurate measurements so I can make more
  288. >Haha no
  289. >Wait don't you have like, five pairs of underwear in that bag? You're set
  290. “I appreciate it Ms. Rarity but I already have enough pairs with me
  291. >A scribbling sound makes itself apparent in the small silence between you and Rarity
  292. >The both of you look towards Twilight, who is writing what looks like to already be a pile of notes
  293. >There also seems to be a rough sketch of your naked body as well
  294. >Albeit without your dick showing of course
  295. >Still
  296. >Kinda weird
  297. “Ummm, Twilight. What're you doing?”
  298. >Looking up she sees you and Rarity looking at her curiously. Slight blush makes itself present on her purple cheeks
  299. >”Sorry, was taking notes. Because you're a newly discovered species and all, I guess I got a bit carried away though sorry”
  300. >Rarity throws a quick eye roll at you that you return in kind
  301. >With a little girlish chuckle she magics up a tape measure and starts to measure around different parts of your body, while jotting down the measurements in a little pad next to her
  302. >Twilight is still scribbling away, quill flying across the page she's on
  303. >After a few minutes Rarity puts the tape measure down and gives you a smile
  304. >”Alright I have all the numbers I need. You can expect something absolutely FABULOUS by next week”
  305. >This mare is nice as fuck. And you were beginning to not like her because of the whole stuck-up voice
  306. “Wow, thanks Rarity. I can pay you but I don't think my money will work here...”
  307. >She dismissively waves a hoof at you
  308. >”I couldn't possibly charge any bits to fix a crime in fashion”
  309. >Oh, well shit free clothes too?
  310. “Wow, thank you Rarity. If you need anything. Be sure to ask me.”
  311. >With a nod of approval she walks back out into the front room so you and Twilight follow
  312. >As the two of you enter the room Rarity turns around
  313. >”Now as much as I'd like you to stay and get to know you better Mr. Anonymous I'm afraid I have to see you two out. I have work to do”
  314. “Completely understandable Ms. Rarity”
  315. >A chuckle comes from the white unicorn
  316. >”Please just Rarity”
  317. “Well alright then Rarity. You have a good day”
  318. >As Twilight says her goodbyes to Rarity you step outside into the mid day sun
  319. >Which is beating down on you, but it isn't too hot
  320. >Wonder how it always seems to be a comfortable temperature outside
  321. >Well if their Princess controls the fucking sun she most likely can control how hot it gets
  322. >With Twilight back at your side you turn to her
  323. “She was nice. To make me free clothes like that. I'll have to pay her back somehow”
  324. >Twilight waves a hoof at you
  325. >”Don't worry about it. Rarity is generous to everyp0ny”
  326. >You have to admit you really thought she was going to be some stuck up bitch of a woman, well, mare
  327. “I see that. Well where to next?”
  328. >She puts a hoof to her chin in thought
  329. >”Well we could go see Fluttershy in the hospital. She should be awake by now”
  330. >Sounds good. You want to go check and see if she's okay
  331. “Alright, let's go”
  332. >Heading back to the center of town you answer more random questions from Twilight, things like Earths countries, animals, environment things like that
  333. >”Your world seems fascinating Anonymous! I wonder if we could ever go there...”
  334. “I wouldn't, if I were you.”
  335. >A confused look comes over her face
  336. >”Why not? From what you have been saying It seems like it would be a great place to go”
  337. >You scratch the back of your head uneasily
  338. “Well. Yeah, but there's also other things that go on that aren't so good. Humans are, violent to say the least. Blood has been spilt in the name of everything from God, to justice, to pure psychotic rage”
  339. >A solemn look is on Twilight's face
  340. >”Are you...like that? Like the rest of the humans?”
  341. >Stopping and looking towards her she stops and does the same to you
  342. “In two situations. If I myself am in danger, or someone I care about is in danger. Those are the only times that I make fighting okay”
  343. >With a nod Twilight resumes walking towards the center of town. Passing the treebrary and your car, which thankfully doesn't have little p0nies walking on it or near it
  344. >Continuing through town various p0nies give you strange looks. You try waving again and giving them a smile. Most actually wave back or answer you with a nod of their head
  345. >They seem to warm up a bit. Great, now you feel bad for yelling at them earlier
  346. >A slight whistling noise comes over your ears
  347. >Sounds like...a jet engine?
  348. >Twilight hears it too because she turns to you
  349. >”Umm Anonymous. What is that noise?”
  350. “A jet engine, but I don't know where it's coming from”
  351. >You're searching everywhere in the sky but can't find any sign of a plane
  352. >You know you're not hearing things what the hell
  353. >It's far away, you can't hear the air displaced or the coarse popping of the thrusters
  354. >”Anonymous, I've never heard that sound in my life. And you seem to know what it is, did anything or anyp0ny come in after you to Equestria?”
  355. >You stand still as stone, listening. Trying to figure out if that actually IS a jet or not
  356. >It can't be, you were the only one around when you woke up
  357. >When you woke up
  358. >Not when you got here
  359. >Uneasiness creeps up your spine and cups itself around the back of your neck. Making you twitch and shiver
  360. >Better not dwell on it too much
  361. “Nevermind it let's get to the hospital, see how Fluttershy is doing after last night”
  362. >A hum of acknowledgment from the purple mare sends the two of you along
  363. >Approaching the town hall the whistling noise becomes the whooshing, popping noise that only a jet thruster can make
  364. “That is a jet!”
  365. >Wheeling around to get a view of it you find something that turns you on your head
  366. >It's not a jet, it's too small
  367. >Getting closer you recognize it as a p0ny, quite a big p0ny. Grey with looks like huge cannons on his back and miniature plane wings with a small thruster on each side
  368. >In an instant the sound is earsplitting, Twilight has her hooves over her ears and you were too shocked to move
  369. >Blowing overhead faster than you could blink the wind catches up and blows all around. The mysterious p0ny is gone again, heading towards town hall
  370. >Twilight seems shocked
  371. >”W-wh-what was THAT?!”
  372. “That”
  373. >You hit your ears a couple of times to get the ringing out
  374. “Was a p0ny with jet engines on his back”
  375. >Quick as the p0ny left he was back again this time landing in front of you and looking very, very mad
  376. >Getting a better look you find he's a darker gray p0ny with a jet black mane and the deepest green eyes
  377. >His front forelegs seemed to have been lost at some point as he has mechanical legs
  378. >Black armor adorns his entire body bar the head and front legs
  379. >Looks like Liberty Prime's legs from Fallout 3. Only with more wires and plates everywhere
  380. >You also spot a small metal box by his right eye with a slit in it
  381. >A heavy mechanical clicking noise brings you back to attention as he points one of the cannon barrels at you
  382. >”Who the buck are you”
  383. >Twilight is utterly confused “What? Wait hold on-”
  384. >Interrupting her you move in front of the mare and draw your Beretta
  385. “I don't want trouble sir. Now would you kindly lower that cannon barrel”
  386. >He shakes his head no
  387. >”Who are you. What are you doing here. And why aren't you dead?”
  388. >Dead?
  389. >The fuck is he talking about?
  390. “I don't know what you're talking about. But I arrived here last night if you must know. Now please lower that barrel before I put a 9mm hole in your head”
  391. >You pull the hammer back and steady up in case he tries anything
  392. >Surprisingly he starts to laugh
  393. >”Haha, oh a 9mm that's cute. You make me laugh, I can see you're not much of a threat for you haven't shot me yet correct?”
  394. >Looking him straight in the eye you speak slightly slower and deeper than usual
  395. “I only fire when I need to. But I'll answer then rest of your questions if you lower that barrel”
  396. >By this point a crowd of p0nies had gathered around in a ring around the three of you
  397. >The gray stallion looks left and right before setting his gaze back on you
  398. >”Okay human you win. But you answer truthfully, I know when somep0ny is lying”
  399. >Lowering his left barrel it sets itself back beside the other one
  400. >After that his wings seem to collapse into itself and turn upwards to rest beside the cannons
  401. >You also decock your pistol and stow it back in it's holster
  402. >Wait a minute
  403. >Did he call you a human?
  404. >He knows what you are? You've never even spoke to him let alone seen him since you got here
  405. >You go to approach him to ask him how he knows
  406. >He looks quite a bit smaller now, coming up to just under your chest
  407. >His eyes narrow slightly at you
  408. >”The buck you lookin' at?”
  409. >An older mare pushes through the crowd and approaches the three of you
  410. >”Hello Twilight, and oh!”
  411. >She finally notices you standing there
  412. >Why are these p0nies so unobservant of the 6 foot tall creature just standing there?
  413. >With a nervous chuckle she continues “And umm, who might you be?”
  414. >Might as well pop your charming smile
  415. “I'm Anonymous, I arrived here last night. I hope I can get along with you p0nies”
  416. >Giving your hand to the older mare she takes it in a shake “Well hello Anonymous. I am Mayor Mare, the mayor of P0nyville. So nice to have you here”
  417. >Ah she's the mayor good
  418. >Releasing your hand she directs herself to the other p0nies gathered around
  419. >”Now can I have your attention everyp0ny. This young stallion here” she motions at the gray p0ny you were just talking to “Will be staying here in P0nyville as it's guardsp0ny for a few months. I hope you all make him feel at home. Now this young stallion”
  420. >She points to you
  421. >What
  422. >You're no damn stallion you're a man!
  423. >”Also will be staying with us for an indefinite amount of time. I also hope you make him feel at home as well.”
  424. >Going along with it you gives all the p0nies a smile
  425. “Hey there”
  426. >You finish of your measly introduction with a friendly wave, which most of the p0nies return
  427. >An approving nod come form the mayor as she turns towards the two of you “Well, now that's all in order. I hope you all have a good day”
  428. >She leaves your presence and heads towards the town hall doors
  429. >Twilight finally speaks up and she's mad “So mister are you going to tell what the hay is going on?! Because I have half the mind to tell Princess Celestia you're endangering other p0nies and harassing them”
  430. >Damn she is mad
  431. “Woah Twilight let's just calm down and-”
  432. >The grey stallion speaks “Celestia? She isn't going to do shit to me. That mare can't lay a finger on me while Princess Luna is around. And trust me when I say that Celestia would love a reason to get rid of me anyways”
  433. >He turns to you while Twillight is fuming and continues “Do you have a place you're staying? You can answer questions while we're there. I also guess I have some explaining to do but I'm not at liberty to say most of the important things. The princesses will have to do that.”
  434. >You give him a nod
  435. “That's fine. I'm staying at the library for now, we can go there and talk. I didn't quite get your name there”
  436. >He goes to walk towards the library but turns his head around to look at you “My name is Shooter” he points a mechanical hoof towards one of the barrels of his cannons “No need to tell you why huh?”
  437. >With a small chuckle he sets off without waiting for you. Causing you and Twilight, who is still mad as can be, to jog a little to catch up
  438. >The three of you set off towards the library. Here's to you hoping you get some answers from this.
