//------------------------------// // A Search For Generosity // Story: A New Home // by mjk 705 //------------------------------// "Rarity!" I yelled "RARITY, WHERE ARE YOU?" No response. I had been searching for Rarity for a few hours now, and most of my search party (the rest of the main 6 and spike) were fast asleep. I didn't understand what had happened earlier at the store though. I was almost certain that I had grabbed boots. "But where are boots in the sock department?" asked Tom. I had nearly fallen to the ground out of surprise. "Geez, don't sneak up on me like that! I don't...wait, did you say...SOCK DEPARTMENT?!? You mean to tell me that I was In the sock department of that store when got Rarity's gift and you couldn't even tell me?" "I would have, but you left before I could warn you." "I don't believe this. Anyways, you said you were born on Earth, correct?" "Yes, I was. Why dou you ask?' "Well, its just that..." I took a look at Tom "You don't even look human. No offence, but you look more like a fiend." "You would be surprised what 15 equestrian years can do to a human body." "Wait, equestrian years?" "Yes. About 6 centries in your time is a day in Equestrian time." My jaw almost met the dirt. "6 CENTRIES? That's 600 years, right?" "Indeed." I couldn't believe it. On earth, everyone I knew was dead. "I understand that this is hard for to take, especially considering the situation right now, but if, like me, you..." he stopped. "I what?" "Nevermind." "No, I want to know right now! Tell me!" "Some things are better left unexplained. We should go back to your home." *The Next Morning* I don't know how I had managed to sleep, considering the news I had recived the night before. To think that just one day was 600 years. That means that Christopher Columbus did his exploration, we got our independance, and had both world wars in the same day here, along with a lot of other stuff. I figured it's best if I continued my search. I got outside, and was amazed at what I saw. It was me, on the very day I started a life in Equestria. Sleeping. The digital alarm clock I had read 4:00 AM, approximitly 5 hours before I would wake up on that summer day. I was about to wake myself up, but the vision I had faded. I was still looking outside the door. I sighed "Even if I go home, it won't be the same." I walked around Ponyville before I continued my search, and after a while, I felt something. It was like a strong pull, drawing me to something. I had little to no control of my body at that moment, so I was actually being pulled by this force. after about 15 minutes, The force had stopped pulling, and I got control of my body again. "Well that was...weird." I looked up and saw Canterlot castle. "Oh ha ha, fate, very funny." "You may not want to go in there right now." I looked behind me to see a unicorn. "There's a rather serious event taking place in the castle, and they said that nopony is allowed at the moment." "Ok, thanks for the info!" I walked back to Ponyvile. Or atleast, i tried to. When I was almost out of the castle grounds, I had somehow telaported to Ponyvile. Then to Everfree Forest. Then back to Canterlot. I felt dizzy afterwards, and felt something hit me in the back of the head, and after that, I was out cold. *Unknown Location* I awoke to find myself chained to a wall. Then I heard laughter "Looks like our little friend here is up again." said a voice. I opened my eyes to see two changelings. "What the... get me down from here right now!" I yelled. "Let him." I heard a voice from the shadows say. I looked across from me to see a long and dark hallway. Then I saw two glowing green orbs. "He's powerless now." "Crysillis." I mutterd to myself. "Well, aren't you smart." she stepped out into full veiw. "You sure do have quite the potential. show him the main screen!" At her command, one of the changelings pressed a button. A hologram came up, showing Rarity bounded the same way i was with a cannon with a green rim pointed at her. "Somepony, anypony, HELP!" she screamed. "Rarity!" I yelled. "She can't hear you at the moment. Join us," began Crysillis "Or witness her destruction!" I heard a humming noise come from the cannon. "I'll never join the likes of you." "Well, smartt and fiesty. Too bad." she pushed a button, and a green light came from the head of the cannon. "SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR LITTLE FRIEND!" a green light fired fom the cannon. When it was gone, so was Rarity. "Such a shame. And even better, the elements are useless now!" she laughed. I was burning with rage. "You punk....YOU DAMNED HEARTLESS PUNK!" she continued to laugh. I tried to break free, but my efforts were in vain. "Spike, Twilight, Applejack, Dash, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Sweety Belle, everypony.....I'm sorry." "She's...dead?" I heard Spike's voice say "Why didn't you do anything?" "I couldn't." I heard myself say. "She's gone. An' yer the one who caused all this?" I heard Applejack say "Yes." I said "I can't believe that you just let her die like that!" I heard Rainbow dash said, yelling at me "You could have saved her!" "Why, darling?" I heard Rarity's voice say "Why did you let me?" I was broken from my vission to hear Crysillis laughing. "You could have saved your friend, but I guess that you'll just have to join her." I felt a burning feeling within me. I could see the chains melting "What in the world? What are you doing? Stop this at once!" I felt the burn get hotter. "I will avenge you, Rarity!" The burn was at its peak now. "Attack him, NOW!" yeld Crysillis. I saw myself surrounded in a red aura of some sort. how it got there to this day I still don't know. Two changelings flew towards me, only to be burnt to a crisp. "How? Grr...I guess I'll have to take care of this myself!"
