Final Fantasy Equis

Chapter 2- Running into town

Happy? Now then...

David kept running, revelling in his obscene endurance, until he looked down, realizing he was still naked, and tripped over a tree root, causing him to fall face first into a puddle.

"Lovely..." He said, getting up to shake himself off. "Wish I knew who in all of Equis I had turned into..."

No sooner had he uttered those fateful words, did a mirror appear in front of him, allowing him to see, once he got the water out of his eyes, that his eyes were purple swirls with white highlights, making him sigh in both exasperation and relief.

"Great. The one pony the fandom literally knows next to nothing about... Hell, I even thought she was DT affected by Discord's chaos." Looking around, he noticed a patch of blueish flowers, and, knowing better than to go near them, kept one eye on them while walking away from the patch of flower...

And right into a tree. Specifically, Zecora's tree. Unfortunately, the zebra alchemist wasn't home. "Not like I'd need Riddler to get out, now that I found her house..." As Dav- Screwball. He-she was going to have to get used to those. As Screwball turned around, she had to jump over Zecora to avoid walking into her.

The zebra just kept walking, her head buried in her saddlebags, so she didn't even notice the anthro pony leaping over her and running down the path. "Ah! Here are my keys! Though as to why I let those three fillies talk me into these is beyond me. Jeeze..."

---

The filly had run for several hours by now, and she wasn't any more tired than when she started. So she decided to stop and sit down, once she was outside the forest of course, and thin about why that was... Sighing she came to one conclusion.

"I have Chaos Magic... And I've been using it to keep going beyond my physical abilities alone... And that also means I can make my own clothes." With that goal in mind, she thought about all the different clothes she wanted to try, and used a runway to see them all. After watching for a bit, she decided to wear a pink sun dress, no polka dots though, a pink pearl necklace, her signature propeller top beanie, one knee high black combat boot, one rainboot that just barely came over her ankle, a yellow bow around her waist with lime green polka dots, one thigh high with periwinkle and black stripes, and another thigh high with royal purple and periwinkle stripes, and a baseball bat. Why the bat you ask? Well let me ask you something. Why does Doctor Whooves where a bow tie and collar but nothing else? Looking herself over, she began to giggle slightly.

"Oh, man... Rarity is going to flip when she sees me... Well, either way, let's keep running! Wait. I can fly. And teleport." Upon realizing this, she promptly facepalmed, before disappearing in a flash of yellow light. "Uh... Not what I wanted, but whatever. I can work with this..." She said, standing on top of the cutie mark map.

As Screwball was flying through the air through Ponyville, she mentally listed off some potential fourth party members. Her first thought was of the Mane 6, Starlight Glimmer, if Fluttershy's floating house and Twilight's crystal tree castle having the cutie mark map on top of it was any indication, Discord, and Spike. But she quickly dismissed each of those as beings of much too import, or just straight up over powered when compared to the CMC.

Next in her list was Shining Armor, the Apple family, Thorax, and the Pie family. But all were also dismissed for similar reasons. Lyra, Bon Bon, Vinyl, Octavia, and most of the other adult background cast were also dismissed because they had jobs to take care of that her magic might not be able to imitate. Derpy was dismissed for simply being Derpy. Not that she didn't like Derpy, far from it. She would just simply be as likely to hit her allies as her opponent.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon because she didn't like them. Even after they stopped being bullies. The reformed changelings as a whole because of their recent pacifist spree into the stupid skittlebugs they were. She knew that because one aforementioned skittlebugs flew right into her, apologized, and got out of her way while resuming its own flight. Then she thought about the perfect line up.

Applebloom and Scootaloo on damage, Applebloom as a Final Fantasy style monk, and Scootaloo as a Thief, Sweetie Belle as a White Mage, and Button Mash as a Pali.

Now all she had to do was change the names of all the jobs they would come across... Starting with the ones already mentioned. White Mage would be Solar Priest, Thief to Spy, Pali to Solar Guard, and Monk to... What could she change that to? Fist fighter? She would think of something when she found Applebloom... maybe...

Author's Note:

Here is what I was trying to describe... Deliberately removed the earrings, as I can't even begin to tell what the hay those are.

Well, I enjoyed what is there.

Now when you say "Anthro", do you mean just a Pony Head & Tail on a Human Body, or Tikbalang style where you have the Torso & Arms with Hands of a Human, but the Head, Tail & Legs with Hooves of a Pony?

Mix of both. Looks like a satyr, minus the horns, plus a pony tail.

Well if your "Anthro" looks something similar to THIS, cdn.cgsociety.org/cg/g03/518303/518303_1370805713_orig.jpg then it would be a Philippines Mythological Tikbalang, it's basically the Horse equivalent of a Minotaur.

Dear god, no! Human upper half, head included, man! Search satyr, remove the horns, and make the waist down pony!

Oh you mean like THIS kind of a Satyr?

BTW, you could just make it where your Anthro looks more like THIS idea for an MLP Tikbalang -

Wrong again, on both counts.

Satyr. Minus horns. Plus pony tail. That is the anthro I'm looking at.

So Basically what You're going for is Half-Human/Half-Pony on a Fractional Level instead of a Genetic Level, that makes me wonder if it would even be considered "Anthro" at all, sounds more like it could be considered a Hybrid or something.

And based on how you describe it, sounds like what you're going for is a Greek Mythological Ipotane -

But in Greek Mythology there is also a race of Humans with Horse Hooves instead of Feet known as the Hippopodes -

Second one.

So the Screwball in you're story is an Ipotane, interesting take on the character.
