Lane was in a dark endless void and he was confused.
"Am I dead?" He wondered aloud, his voice distorted slightly.
"No your not dead," said a voice in the void, " just merly sleeping."
"Who are you?" he asked looking around.
A figure started walking into his field of vision, but something was off. It looked like it was walking oddly almost as if it was walking on four feet and it was shaped oddly. When the owner of the voice could be seen clearly Lane couldn't believe his eyes. It was a pony but it had a horn and wings. It was also the color of the pony. It was dark blue and had a mane that looked like a clear night sky. It also looked like it was wearing reagaliea. Lane was confused until it spoke.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
Lane shook himself. 'Did that pony just speak?'
The pony replied, "Yes I did, and my name is Princess Luna. And who are you? You caused a bit of chaos at Ponyville."
"You can read minds?" Lane said slightly nervous.
"No," said Luna quickly, " only when your dreaming I can."
Lane rubbed his head, "Now I'm going to guess this Ponyville is the town I saw."
Luna nodded and said," Indeed, I have another question to ask you."
Lane looked up at the princess.
"What is that ring on your finger for?"
Lane was puzzled," It was my fathers class ring it doesn't do any thing special."
Luna looked at him closely, " Your not lieing, that's odd then."
"Why?"asked Lane, "Did something happen to it?" He was now almost in a panic. It was the only thing his father gave him.
"No," said Luna calming his fears, "but we can't get the ring off your finger and every time we touch it, it shocked us."
Lane thought for a moment, " It shouldn't do that."
Luna thought as well, "Well I guess you can tell everypony when you wake up. See you soon."
Luna then faded and Lane was left alone again. He thought of what she was saying about his ring. It didn't do anything special. It was just a gold ring with a dark purple stone he couldn't remember the name to. He kept thinking until a bright light showed up, it blinded him and he was sure he heard voices.
---------------------------------------
Slowly Lane woke up and found himself in a hospital bed. His wings and limbs were strapped down and very uncomfortable. He also noticed his dark sunglasses were off. His ring was still on though just as Luna said.
He heard the door open and he slammed his eyelids close. He moved his ears towards the sound that appeared to be hooves.
"Are you awake," said a small timid voice.
Lane thought about staying still and then decided to nod. No point in lieing.
"Good, so could you look at me. If you want to I mean."
Lane shook his head and decided to speak.
"If you put my sunglasses back on me I'll talk more."
He heard some shuffling and he felt the familiar feel of plastic and metal. He also saw through his eyelids the room get darker. He opened his eyes and saw a soft yellow pegasus with light pink hair. She was looking excitedly at Lane.
Lane cleared his throat, "Why am I strapped down exactly and more important who are you?"
"Oh I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is um... Fluttershy. And your strapped down because Twilight doesn't want you to attack."
Lane started to laugh, "Attack? Why would I do that? If I was going to attack you don't you think I'd do it by now? And that reminds me these things are uncomfortable."
Lane broke all the bonds holding him down and stood up and walked to a nearby armchair and sat.
"Much better, don't you think so too Flutterby right?"
Fluttershy stood there amazed. Those straps were reinforced with magic. Nothing should of broke them.
"Actually my name is Fluttershy and would you excuse me for a moment?"
Lane nodded and she backed out of the room.
----------------------------------
Fluttershy walked out and shut the door.
"So," said Twilight, " Is he a threat or not?"
"I don't think so but he is really strong."
"Why would you say that, asked Twilight.
"Well remember those straps that you strengthened with magic?" Twilight nodded, " Well he broke out of them and now is sitting in the armchair in their."
Twilight stood there with one eye slightly twitching.
"He got out?!! This I have to see."
------------------------
Lane sat back and thought as the yellow pony walked out. He might of seemed cool and collected on the outside but on the inside he was freaking the fuck out.
‘Im in a world filled with colorful, talking ponies. This doesn’t make since, I went to sleep in my bed and now I’m here.’
He heard the door sqeak open and he recollected himself into what resembled a calm facial expression. A purple pony walked in and what caught Lane’s eye was the horn on top of its head, he thought for a moment and remembered that this was the pony that caused him to black out.Before he had a chance to lash out at the pony she talked first.
“How in Equestria did you get out of those straps they were re-enforced with magic. Not even a mad hydra could of gotten out of those!”
Lane stared at her for a second and decided to tell her the truth about himself.
“Well I don’t know what a hydra is but my wings have enough power to break through diamonds. And my name is Lane what is yours?”
The purple pony looked at him shocked, her eyes wide, “ You can break diamond? The only thing that can break diamond is dragon teeth and a magic condenser laser..”
Lane gestured with his hand to get her to answer the rest of his question.
The pony shook herself out of her stupor and cleared her throat before answering. “Sorry you just shocked me a little, my name is Twilight Sparkle. Well i guess its now Princess Twilight Sparkle.” she ruffled her wings that i didn’t see before.
‘Great,’ thought Lane to himself, ‘I’m talking to royalty, my ass is toast.’
“Can I ask you a few questions?” ask Twilight.
Lane sighed and nodded, knowing what the first question would be.
“Where are you from, how did you get here, and what does your ring do?” said Twilight in quick presession.
“I am from the Planet Earth,” Lane started, “More exact Cape Girardeau, Missouri in the United States of America. I am the only one of my kind in that world since I'm the only one who has wings, but thats a different story. I really don’t know how I got here. One minute I’m laying in my bed, my cat snuggling into my side as always,and the next thing I know I bash my head against the floor and I’m in a different world. As for the ring, I have no idea why it's shocking you its just a regular ring.”
The second Fluttershy heard about a cat she was worried.
"Do you think she is ok with the house? I don't want her to hurt. Umm..... If the cat is a she, " said Fluttershy with a small smile.
"I'm sure she is fine, cats always land on her feet. And her name is Carly if you're wondering."
Lane waved his hand when he mentioned his cat's name and he saw Twilight and Fluttershy hit the deck. Suddenly a bright flash of light came from his hand and hit the wall charring it.
He stared at the wall and Twilight was about to yell when she saw him staring at the wall in disbelief.
"What just happened?" Lane looked at his hand and saw that his ring was glowing purple and gold. The stone itself was glowing as well.
"Well that's new".
"What?" asked Twilight confused.
"My ring," Lane started slowly, "it's never done that before. It's just my fathers old class ring. Let me take it off."
Lane pulled off the ring and showed it to the two slightly shaken mares. Twilight tried to pick it up but the ring shocked her hard enough to cancel out her magic. She tried to hold it and it shocked her harder and sent her to the ground.
"Are you ok?" Lane asked her anxiously, "I really don't want to go to prison for hurting royalty. Wait why should that matter. I'm not part of your kingdom. But I am in your custody."
"I'm ok. Your ring has a defense mechanism of some sort so somepony can't steal it. That's my theory anyway."
"Wait, wait......wait," said Lane, "Why would my ring have a defense thing? I didn't put anything on it."
Twilight thought and a idea came to her, "Well it might of happened when I shot your...hoof with magic. I kinda overloaded it and it hit you".
'No shit you think, you walking nuclear reactor?'
"Ok," Lane said, "so I am in a different world. With ponies, that look like they were colored by 4 year olds. And I am the only human talking to a pony princess that could fry my ass at any point of time, do I got most of that right?"
Twilight nodded, "Pretty much. The only thing you missed is the part that we can't send you home now".
Lane looked at her quickly, "Why not. If I can get here then I can certainly get back. Just use the spell that you used to get me here."
"Well that the problem," said Twilight, "we didn't actually use a spell to get you. It was fate. Mother Faust came to me and the other princesses in a dream. She said a new creature would come from the heavens, a creature of another world. She said they would help us."
"Help you with what?" Lane inquired.
Twilight looked in his eyes, "Help us save pony kind, from absolute destruction."
