Walking the plains of Equestria... As a Spartan?

Chapter 2, Meeting the locals... (edited)

So, after a good amount time of the ponies thanking me for killing that jackass. Who I found out had stolen, maimed, and killed these ponies to get what he wanted. I told them of my dilemma, which obviously they couldn't really help me with too much. They did give me a bit of food and water for my travels, but as you can already guess, it wasn't too much. They gave me a bit of bread and refilled my water bottle, so after the whole ordeal, I got to walking out of the town.

"Those locals seem... Greatful." Says the A.I. Who now decided to talk

"Well, I did just help them out with a bit of a problem they were having." I respond, to which she's silent again. Then I hear a pair of hooves beating the ground behind me, I turn to see a small blue filly with a black mane and tail running towards me with a light blue sash in her mouth. I crouch to her height as She stops in front of me panting, then looks up to me, my god her eyes are so freaking big! And her little face! Oh my god I'm going to get Diabetes because of the shear cuteness! She drops the sash on the ground and looks at me again.

"Um, mister... I just wanted to say... Thank you for saving us." She scoots the sash towards me. "And I wanted to give you something for saving us."

I look at the sash, it's just a normal blue sash, nothing special about it, but it's the thought that counts. I pick it up and lift up my left arm. I tie it to my left wrist, and look back at her.

"Thank you, what's your name?" I ask.

"Sketch"

Ok, so not all ponies names have two words in them, good to know. I reach over to my satchel and pull out my sketch book, I look at it, I haven't really drawn in it all that much, and I could probably find a new one... Hopefully. I look back at Sketch and I give her the book, she looks up at me in surprise, I grab out two of my pencils and set them next to the book, which Sketch is just staring at.

"Sketch, I want you to have this, I have no use for it right now. If you promise to take care of it... You can keep it."

She looks back at me, and then she grins ear to ear in happiness. She picks up the book and pencils hugs them.

"Thank you mister! And I will, I promise!"

I ruffle her mane, and she runs back to the town were most of the ponies were still gathered. More colts and fillys start crowding around her as she tells them what I gave her, I stand up straight again, and continue walking. After a few minutes, Serenity finally speaks up.

"That was... Very kind of you."

"Hey, she gave me something, I gave her something. Sometimes I'm too nice... Probably because of all the games I played... And I may or may not have played too much of Bioshock 2... I kinda get over nice to little girls..."

"But she's a different race!"

"Children of all races are the same."

And with that, she's once again silent. So I continue walking, after a few minutes the town is in the distance as I keep walking. Maybe I could have stayed? Nah, I gotta keep moving. Hopefully the Princesses can find me a way out of here, and if not... I'll just keep walking, make new friends, stop a war or something... Save a kingdom? Eh, I could probably do all that now. Being what I am, but... I do miss my family... My friends... Everything's gone, just, gone... What do they think happened? Do they think I ran away? Or do they think I was kidnapped?!

"Fuck!"

"What's the matter? I'm reading high amounts of anger and stress."

"Serenity, I'm pissed!"

"Why? There's nothing to be angry about, you just saved a town, you should feel happy."

"I just left my world... To come to this one... For. What. REASON!"

"... I do not know."

"Well fan fucking tastic! Just like when you stated the obvious when we first met! Now would you kindly SHUT THE HELL UP! And let me think!"

After that outburst she's silent, so I continue walking lost in thought.

-3 hours later-

"Maybe we should have gotten a map."

"You said you'd map out the place as we go!"

"Well, all my data consists of... Is sand... And rock..."

"Fantastic! You say we don't need a map, but now your saying we do!"

"I never said we didn't need a map, I said that I could map the area we're in as we go!"

"Well, fuck me! What do we do now?!"

"Well I rightly don't know, maybe we can ask the pegisi pulling that golden chariot!"

"Wait, WHAT!"

I look up to see said chariot, with the solar princess in to... And she looks very pissed. Well fuck me, her chariot lands in front of me and she steps off of it, she gets about five feet away from me, then proceeds to stare me down.

"Um... May I help you?" I ask, better try to act polite until I get what's really going on.

Finally Celestia speaks "None of you should be alive... Me and my sister made sure of that."

Well... Fuck... I'm going to get my ass sent to the moon.

"Um... Excuse me? What did I do?"

"Your kind... One's like you... Fought with Discord two thousand years ago... When we trapped him in stone... We hunted you all down for what you did."

"Look lady, I didn't do jack shit, I got here a few hours ago by some strange means, I didn't hurt or kill anybody... Unless you count the Minotaur."

"WHAT!"

"Hey woah! Calm the fuck down! He was terrorizing a town full of defenseless ponies!"

"You lie! You all were great deceivers!"

"Go check the town for yourself! I fucking saved them!"

"And how do I know I can trust you?"

"Um..."

She starts charging her horn, and aims it at me. That's when Serenity finally decided to speak up.

"Use a pulse grenade!"

"I never added grenades to the suit!"

As I said that, a pulse grenade appears in my hand and I look down at it. Fucking badass looking, but I can't stay and gawk at it all day. I press the button on the side of it, and I throw it at Celestia. She immediately jumps back as it hits the ground, she then takes to the air as it goes off, as she did all of that, I bolted, running as fast as I could away from her. I'll say this, I don't know how I didn't see it before, but I somehow ran into the Everfree. After an hour of running, I stop to look around, place is fucking dark and dank looking... Eh, could be worse.

I sit down to take a break, kinda wishing that could have gone better. I look at the ground, and that's when the fatigue hits me, I mean, I ain't that tired, but walking around and then running can take its toll on a person. I decide to lay on the ground and rest... Maybe when I wake up this is all really a dream.
