//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 Arrival // Story: Damian is a Brony // by Batfan98 //------------------------------// Robin groaned as he slowly opened his eyes to see a blue sky with a few clouds. "*groans* What happened?" he sat up as he rubbed his head. He saw that Batman, Red Robin, and Nightwing were also passed out on the ground and waking up. They all got up to look at their surroundings, they were in a grassy field and there were a few trees there. "What happened?" Red Robin asked "And where are we?" "For once I don't know." Batman answered. They then noticed a town up a head, it didn't look like any kind of normal town it looked like some kind of town in a cartoon. Some of the houses were a cream color with pink lines. Wait a minute...why did this place look so familiar to Robin? He was sure he saw this place somewhere, but what? He then noticed a dirt road leading to the town and it had a sign, 'Welcome to Ponyville'. Robin's eyes widened, he was in equestria? No it can't be, it's not true...is it? "Um...hello." greeted a female voice that sounded all too familiar with Robin. They turned around to see a purple pony with a horn and wings, a dark blue lane and tale with a purple and pink streak, and a sparkling star on her flank. Robin's eyes widened as he recognized this pony. It was Twilight Sparkle. Robin squealed with not as he sprinted to the pony, pulling her in a tight embrace, screaming like a fan girl. At least he would have done all that if he didn't stop himself just as he gave a huge smile, which he took away quickly so his family wouldn't see and get suspicious. Twilight looked awkwardly at them before clearing her throat and starting over "Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship." All except Robin's eyes widened at the pony talking, Robin trying so hard to keep his excitement from controlling him. Batman quickly ignored his shock "Where are we?" His voice intimidated Twilight a bit, but thankfully he was being calm so She thought there was no reason to freak out. "You are in the world of Equis and in the land of Equestria. What's your names?" Batman decided to stick with his superhero name instead of his real one, after all he didn't know who this pony was. "I'm Batman. This is Nightwing, Robin, and Red Robin." He gestured to every Robin. "What are you and do you have any idea how we got here?" "Well I'm a pony, the kind of pony I am is an Alicorn. As for your second question, I was doing a spell to summon an object from your world so I can study it, I ended up doing it wrong and accidentally brought you here. Sorry." "Can you send us back?" Twilight looked nervous "Um...the spell can only summon and can't send and I don't know any spell that can send you back." Batman had some what of an angry look which intimidated Twilight. She tried to think of something "But I think I can look for something that can send you back, I'm an expert on magic." "You certainly proved that when you summoned us." Batman's voice was steady, but he still had sarcasm. Twilight took offence "Hey! I said I was sorry." she sighed "Look, until I find a way let me take you to my castle. You can stay there for the time being." She led them down the dirt road to Ponyville. Robin had excitment building inside of him, but kept a straight face. He couldn't let them know his secret. As they entered Ponyville ponies stared in shock and fear, most of their fear was for the one who looked like a hat. Red Robin and Nightwing were thinking that it was like they were in My Little Pony and Batman didn't put much thought into it, he wasn't all that surprised. He knew magic exsisted because of Zatana and John Constantine and knew about other worlds from missions with the Justice League. Robin recognized some of the town's residence, he saw Derpy, Carrot Top, Lyra and Bon Bon, and Vynal Scratch and Octavia Melody. He hoped that soon he would meet the rest of the main cast, especially Flutthershy. He would just tell Twilight now about the show, but his family was right there, so that would be a dead givaway to him being a Brony, instead he decided to wait until he was alone with Twi. Robin couldn't believe it he was in Equestria, it was real, he also had the honor of being the first Brony to be in Equestria. He had so much excitment inside him that he wanted to scream like a fan girl, but kept a straight face to hide his excitement. They soon arrived at Twilight's Castle and headed in it. It was bigger than in the show. After going through the halls Twilight opened the door to the throne room where Starlight and Spike were. The two noticed Twilight coming in. "Hey Twilight." Starlight greeted then noticed four bipedal creatures in masks, her eyes widened. "Wow, did these humans come from the mirror?" Spike asked. "No Spike, they don't appear to be." Twilight turned her head to Starlight "Starlight, this is Batman, Robin, Red Robin, and Nightwing." "Uh...hi. What are you?" "We're humans. We are from another dimension." Robin said in his usual stoic manner. "Guys, this is Spike, my number one assistant and Starligh Glimmer, my student." Twilight introduced. "Hi." Nightwing said as Red Robin waved and Batman and Robin said nothing. "Um...hi." "Please make yourselves comfotable." Twilight offered "Spike, please get us some tea?" "Sure thing." Spike said as he left the room to obeye as Twilight started looking through her books. Robin wanted to explore Ponyville. "I'm going to look around this place. I feel like we should know the town we are temporarily staying in." "Alirght, feel free to look around the town." Batman answered as Robin left. Robin closed the doors to the throne room behind him and took a deep breath, then he let all his excitement out by giving an excited squeal as he stomped feet on the crystal floor. "Oh my gosh, oh my goooosh!! I'm in Equestria. This place is real and I'm in it!!" he said with excitement in his voice. This was outside the ordinary for him to do. He then froze in place as he noticed Spike carrying a tea tray, looking at him awkwardly. Robin brushed the joy off his face, cleared his throat and returned to his stoic manner. "You saw nothing." he said as he walked away.
