A human falls from the sky and meets the mane six. What could go wrong.

Johnathan falls into the mlp story line during the Canterlot marriage episodes and continues with the mane six from there. (Gore tag is for large fight scenes other than that it should have very little to no gore.)

Johnathan got up from what was left of the mountain that he was thrown into. There wasn't much of it left now. He then faced the monster that had thrown him into the mountain. It was absolutely enormous! Johnathan was at an average height of 6'3", whereas the monster was easily half the size of the mountain that had used to be there.

When Johnathan got to his feet he grimaced as he tried to move his leg. 'Damn', he thought,' leg's broken.'

He was unable to keep his balance and fell down onto the ground that was completely destroyed from his battle with the monster that was in front of him.

The monster laughed and then spoke in a booming raspy voice "Did you really think that you would have a chance to defeat me? After everything that I did to you and all that I did to all that you know and love, why do you still fight? What is the point? Why don't you just kneel and beg for forgiveness instead of drawing this one sided battle out any longer?"

Johnathan just looked up at the monster and said one word that surprised every living thing in the area. He weakly but firmly said, "never"

The monster didn't hide his astonishment, he simply replied as if nothing happened "I didn't know that you could speak. The rumors that I've herd said that you couldn't."

Johnathan smugly looked at the monster and said in a condescending tone, "There are a lot of things that you don't know about me."

There were seven large gasps as the monster showed what he was hiding from Johnathan this whole time. Six brightly colored ponies and a creature that looked like it had gone under lab experimentation.

They all looked at his beaten body that didn't look too pretty anymore. All of them except the experimented creature started to cry seeing the state of his body. A chunk of flesh from the top of his right arm was missing, his left eye was swollen shut, the glasses that he used to wear were destroyed beyond repair, his right leg was broken, his nose was broken as well, he also had a broken left arm. All except the disfigured creature in the bubbles started to cry, however it was on the brink of tears from what Johnathan saw. Johnathan just smiled and said in a sweet yet unconvincing tone,"I will see you guys after this is all over and we can all have a nice long talk about this." He emphasized the word talk.

He turned towards one of the bubbles in specific and said,"Aren't you going back on your word to say that you would never frown again as long as I'm alive?"

The brightly colored pony just looked at him with tears staining its coat and said in a soft tone,"But that is why I am sad, because you are dying."

Johnathan just said firmly,"I will have none of that. You can cry when I'm dead, not before."

Johnathan tried to stand up again using some of the debris from the mountain for help. The ponies in the bubbles all gasped at how high his threshold for pain was. The monster noticed this and then yelled angrily,"Why do you still fight?!?! You've already lost! You can't do anything to stop your fate!"

The monster then lifted its hand, that was easily larger than Johnathan himself, then backhanded him destroying the rock that he was leaning against as well. The ponies screamed as he flew to the other side of the small town that had been destroyed during the fight between the two.

Johnathan tried to get up but quickly fell down onto his hands and knees coughing up some blood in the process. The ponies seeing this started to cry even harder than they had been before. Whereas the strange creature just started to cry seeing his friend slowly but surely dying.

When he finally looked up he saw that the beast had made its way over to him. Johnathan tried to get up again so that he might be able to defend himself from the monsters attack. One of the ponies in the bubbles started to quietly say,"Just stay down. Please don't be a hero."

However when the monster saw that he was trying to get up it hit the ground with one of its paws. The ground shook so much that Johnathan lost his balance again and fell to the ground face first once again. Everyone in the bubbles could only watch in horror that he had fallen to the ground yet again. Whereas this time it didn't look like he was going to be getting up any time soon.

Not wanting to waste any more time in this fight the monster picked up his half-dead, prone, opponent. The then monster spoke in its booming voice,"You still fight for something that has already been lost for all of eternity. I must ask...Why?"

"Whether I'm crazy or I actually have a motive worth fighting for. My question is "Do you really care," Johnathan inquired.

The monster chuckled darkly,"You're right, I really don't care."

The monster then opened its mouth as wide as it could. Johnathan knew what was to come. He just hung there in the monster's claw and thought of all that he had done in the town that he only lived in for one year. He thought of all the happy times that he had in the town that now lay demolished from the battle that he and the monster had. Lastly he thought of all the friends that he had made here that he wouldn't be able to say goodbye to.

Falling In

View Online

One year earlier

The sky was blue, the sun was shining, the clouds were soft and fluffy. How did Johnathan know this? He was falling from the sky of course.

Johnathan was taking in the view of how blue the sky was, until he realized that he was falling. He was a tan male with blue eyes, ginger hair, glasses, blue jeans, a plain blue shirt, and a dark blue sweatshirt. He was also screaming his lungs out like a little girl.

As he plummeted towards the ground below he tried to look for anything to soften his landing.

As he was scanning the area for a place to land he thought to himself, 'tree, tree, tree, tree, river, tree, tree,...'

'A river!!' he shouted in his mind, 'I hope that I can make it.'

He leaned his body so that he would fall towards the river. The ground was coming up fast and he didn't want to know how it felt traveling at terminal velocity.

He was close to enough to the river to see how deep it was. Joy was slowly filling Johnathan up when he thought that he was going to make it. And you can imagine his joy when he hit the tree next to the river.

'I officially hate trees' Johnathan thought angrily, yet slightly defeated to himself.

As he started to fall he flailed his arms around to try to catch himself on a branch of anything to help stop his decent. He found a branch to grab onto near the bottom of the tree, however when he grabbed onto it with his left hand, all it did was snap and bought him half a second, maybe. As he fell the last 15 feet towards the ground he thought,'I hate you too tree.' When he hit the ground he was knocked unconscious.

2 hours later

Johnathan's eyes started to flutter open after the fall he had suffered.

He looked up and saw that the sun was a bit lower in the sky from when he was falling from it earlier. Groaning, Johnathan sat up and looked at his surroundings.

He was near the edge of a forest, about 20 yards away from the edge of the river he was aiming for, the trees were large, and everything seemed to be peaceful.

He was taking in the beauty of the forest. Forgetting what happened two hours ago he tried to sit up. When he moved he remembered three things: first, he fell from the sky, second he was in pain, and third HE WAS IN PAIN.

He felt a sharp pain in his chest when he tried to sit up. He winced and stopped moving immediately. He looked down at his chest to see what was wrong.

He didn't see anything out of the ordinary with his chest. He then lifted his hand and felt if there was anything wrong or out of place in his chest. Boy, was that a bad idea. The second his hand made contact with his chest it felt like someone had stabbed him with a machete in his chest and just left it there.

He immediately retracted his hand from where he had touched his chest.

He sarcastically thought to himself,'Great, this is just perfect. Let's recap, shall we? I fell from the sky, missed the river, broke a rib (possibly two), I don't know where I am, and I'm hungry.'

Johnathan thought to himself for a little bit about whether or not he should stand up. Standing up won out and after what seemed like hours grueling pain, which was only ten minutes, he was finally at his full height. He was still using the tree for support however. After about an hour of trying to use his legs he was finally able to endure the pain of walking without falling down.

Johnathan's main goal after being able to walk again was to get out of the forest he was in. His next goal was to find anybody that could help him find out where he was and any way to that he could get home.

Things were looking up for Johnathan and he was almost happy. However if Johnathan knew anything about his life he knew that the happy times were soon squashed by more drastic hard times.

Johnathan was making a plan in his head on what he should do when he got to a town, when he heard the snap of a twig behind him. Johnathan quickly dove into a bush that was next to where he was. Because if trees were out to get him what would the wildlife do to him.

After getting settled into his improvised hiding spot he tried to get a look at whatever startled him as quietly as he could. Once he got a look at what it was, he had to rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

The... creature that was in front of him had no pupils, no whites of its eyes, no nothing it was as if its eyes were just a blue iris.It also had two wings with holes in them, a horn, four legs that also had holes in them, sharp white teeth, its body was completely black,and it was 3 ft. 6 in. tall.

At first glance the creature didn't look too threatening. Then about 30 more showed up by its side. That is what made it look threatening.

The creatures started to chatter about something. But Johnathan couldn't understand any of it. It was just a bunch of hissing and growling to him. Yet it seemed formal. It looked like, to Johnathan, that they were going over a plan of some sorts. Like a commander would to his soldiers.

Johnathan then thought that it would be wise to slowly and silently sneak away. Johnathan thought to himself as he snuck away,' They looked like they had a plan that they didn't want anybody else to hear, and I'm not one to object to that. I'll just keep my nose out of places that it shouldn-'

*Snap*

All heads immediately turned towards Johnathan as Johnathan himself looked down. What was laying under his right foot? It was a twig. A twig! Or in other words, a piece of a tree.

'Great,' Johnathan groaned in thoughts,'now all of the trees are conspiring against me.'

Johnathan then turned his head to see if any of the small creatures had heard the twig snap.

They were all looking at him.

Alarms were going off in Johnathan's head as both species stared at each. The alarms were screaming,"Now would be a good time to panic."

Johnathan couldn't move he was scared beyond all reason. So he did the only thing he thought wouldn't get him in trouble.

He waved his hand once and smiled sheepishly while he said,"Hi."

A loud hiss was heard from one of the creatures. This was Johnathan's cue to book it in the opposite direction.

Johnathan ran towards the way out of the forest to try to get away from the hostile forest creatures. The only obstacle in his way the river.

Johnathan ran as fast as he could and jumped once he hit the river bank. As he sailed through the air he was thinking that if he got across the river then he would be safe from the creatures in the forest.

As he landed on the other side of the river of the 3 ft. wide river he looked back to see if the creatures were still following him. Only to see them flying towards him.

His pupils shrunk as he quietly whimpered,"mommy."
