> A New Life > by mjk 705 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A New Beginning > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was on my computer, listening to "Discord" by The Living Tombstone, and I was singing along "I'm not a fan of puppeteers but I have a nagging fear that someone else is pulling at the strings..." Only to pause it after hearing a noise. I haven't taken karate in my life at all, but I had a few ways to defend myself. However, I know that I have heard the sound I was hearing somewhere before. It sounded like someone laughing. I walked up the stairs quietly, trying to avoid making any noise. As soon as I got to my living room, I couldn't believe my eyes. "D...DISCORD? H...how did you break free? More importatantly, how did you get into MY world and in MY house?" "Oh, you must be the one." Discord told me "What do you mean, 'the one?" I asked, rather confused "You're the only one here that knows me." I shook my head "Just tell me why you're here." "Do you really have to be this boring?" he asked "I guess so." "I'm here to deliver a message." "Let me guess, this is the part whare you try to get into my head and turn me into a compleate jerk or someting." "I would if I could, but you can't be 'disharminized' as I like to call it. You have combined qualitys of the Elements, so you are immune to it." "Ok, about that message." "Oh yes, I came here to make your dream of going to Equestria true." "Really?" "Yes." "Ok, how?" "Imagine it, and I will do the rest." I had no clue why the spirit of chaos and disharmony was helping me. Something wasn't right here... I opened my eyes, and for the second time today, I couldn't beleive what I saw. Ponyvile. It was infront of me. I walked toword it. "Ok, knowing how most of the fanfics I read go, Pinkie Pie should see me right about," before I could finish my thought, she ran right into me, causing me to fall over "now." i thaught, a bit dazed from the impact. After Pinkie got off of me, she decided to interduce herself while I got up and dusted myself off "Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?" "Call me Mason." I told her "Ooo! That's a nice name! Where are you from huh? You don't look like anypony I've seen before! You don't even look like a pony! Mabye you're something else!" and with that, she bounced away "I'ts Pinkie Pie..." I said to myself. I decided to look around. It wasn't long before I ended up being hungry. "Okay, Sugarcube Corner, here I come!" > The Party, and a New Place > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I walked into Sugarcube Corner, only to notice the lights were off. "That's odd..." suddenly, the lights turned on all at once "SURPRISE!" said Pinkie "I threw this party just for you! were you surprised huh? Were you?" "Yea, very." I can't believe that I had forgotten that Pinkie Pie likes to throw a welcoming party for everypony that starts a life in Ponyvile "You should meet my friends! They'd love to see you!" "Uhh...I,"But I told myself "Don't say it!" "...will do that right now." Pinkie Pie took me to her friends, and they were just like they are in the show. Rarity was intrested in clothing, Fluttershy was still fairly quiet, Rainbow Dash was still competetive, heck, she even chalanged me to a race! Pinkie was obvoiusly still into partys and doing the most craziest of things, Applejack still had her accent, and Twilight still had her love of books (as far as I could tell.) "So we gonna have that race or what?" asked Dash "Sorry Dash, but I don't think I would stand a chance against the fastest flier in all of Equestria." "Way to go, genius." I told myself "Wait, how do know that?" "I uh....I saw it on a poster! Yea." I looked Applejack, hoping with all my soul that she was convinced. I couldn't really tell by her facial expresion entirely, but she was giving me a weird look. Much to my surprise, nopony really looked at me like I was some weird alien or something. It was kinda nice to know the folk here wouldn't mind me here. A few hours passed, and soon, the only ones in Sugarcube Corner were Applejack and I. I had been cleaning the mess that had been made by the other ponies at the party. Applejack offered to help several times, but I told her every time that I could handle it. I knew she knew that I had lied to Dash earlier. I had checked a few times to see if she had left, but she never had. I had finished cleaning the mess and Applejack was still there. "It's awfly late." I told her "I think you should go home. your family might be worried sick about you." "Well, actually, ah' was waitin' for ya to finish that mess so that way ah' could let ya let ya stay at mah farm." So that's why she wasn't leaving. I took a breath of relief. "Sure, why not?" I said I could't really say no. When we got there, it was incredible. I could smell a lot of apples. Soon I saw Big Mac, who of which I had become good friends at my party. "Hey Big Mac, you enjoying yourself?" I asked "Eyup." "Well sugarcube,this is were yer gonna be sleepin'. Make yerself conforatable." Said Applejack, as she pointed twoards a hay-like mattress. It was actually a lot softer than it looked, and before long, I was fast asleep. World of Dreams I saw a white dot of some sort, and it was coming closer and closer to me. Once it got close enough, I saw that it was a statue. But it wasn't any ordinary statue. It was Discord's statue. But was really interesting about it is that it was in the pose the first time he got beaten by the elements. Soon, I heard a voice say "There is a passion within that burns a bright red, however, you should still watch your head." the voice seemed to come from the statue, but it wasn't Discord's voice. what had me more confused was that phrase meant. Soon, the statue vanished, and it seemed to be laughing as it did. > The Next Day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I woke up from my hay bed, and walked out of the barn, noticing the sunrise. "Wow." I said, admiring it's beauty. "Ah' guess yer' an early bird too, huh?" I head Applejack's voice say behind me. "Yeah." I said. "About what ya said to Raibow last night," she started "I wanna ask ya somthin." "Oh no, here it comes." I thaught. "Yea?" I asked "Ya didn't see that she was the fastest one here on a poster, did ya?" I knew that there was no way I was going to get away with another lie, so I had to tell her about the show, the bronies, and everything else I could that she asked about. "...I just never wanted to tell anypony here about it because...."I was almost starting to cry "I DIDN'T WANT ANYPONY HERE TO THINK THAT I WAS SOME SORT OF CRAZY MONSTER!" and with that, I ran as fast as I could. I could hear Applejack telling me to stop, but I continued to run. I didn't know where I was running, but I didn't care, not at the moment. After what seemed like a good 20 minutes of running, I stopped to catch my breath. I looked around me, only to see trees. Trees everywhere. How I managed to avoid bumping into one, I had no clue. I took some time to notice the trees weren't apple trees. "Wait, I'm in a forest...in Equestria...uh oh..." I knew that I was in the Everfree Forest. I hid in a nearby bush when I heard a noise. Soon, I heard that somepony was calling my name. I made a hole through the bushes. Much to my surprise, it was Spike who was calling my name. I guess Applejack must have told Twilight and the gang as soon as she could. "Mason! You out there?" He yelled out. I looked to see if the other 6 had followed, but I didn't see them. "I'm right here, Spike." I said, coming out of the bush "There you are." he said. "Twilight, Applejack, and the others wanna talk to you." "Even though I know just about everything about them?" I asked "Yea." "Ok then." And with that, Spike and I left the forest behind. (much to my surprise, I wasn't even that far in) "Cmon, they're waiting at the library." he said as soon as we got to Ponyvile. Twilight's Library "Ya' didn't have to run off like that, sugarcube." said Applejack "We don't think you're a monster, silly!" laughed Pinkie. "Thanks, Pinkie," I said "And your right Applejack. I didn't need to run off. sorry about that." "It's ok, sugarcube." "I know I should have asked you this earlier, but how exactly did you get here?" asked Twilight "Ok, but you're not going to believe me." I warned "Alright I guess." said Twilight So I told them everything about it. Honestly, if I was going to stay here, I'd probably tell stories for a living! "...and after that, POOF! I ended up here." I concluded "So you don't know if Discord is still in your world?" "I'm pretty sure he's still here." I said. Soon after, Spike burped out a green flame that left a scroll. Twilight used her magic to open the letter and read it. "C'mon girls, were going to Canterlot! and Celestia wants you to come with, Mason." said Twilight as she put tthe scroll aside. *One Train Ride to Canterlot Later* When we got off of the train, I took a look at the outside of the castle, or atleast, what I could. I swear, the place was huge! Compared to the Empire state building, this thing was still huge! "Is something wrong, Mason?" asked Twilight, taking me out of my gaze "No, Iwas just...you know." "Yea." It took a while, and some asking of the gaurds, to get to Celestia. I had seen Shining Armor on the way, but he looked busy. When we found Celestia, she was in front of a big door. "Princess Celestia, we came as quickly as we could!" said Twilight. Celestia turned aroud, seeing as she had been looking at the door for some reason. Almost as if she were studying it. "Twilight!" she said. She took a look at me. "So, you're Mason. Twilight told me quite a bit about you." "It's an honor to be here." I said. Celestia opened the door she had been studying with her magic, and I was amazed. It was the room that contained the Elements of Harmony. "You 6 stay in here." said Celestia "Mason, follow me please." She took me into the room, and closed the door behind me. While we were walking through the hall, I couldn't help but look at one of the windows, only to notice Discord wasn't on it. He wasn't on any of them. When we got to the end, She opened the door that gaurded the elements, and opened the box that contained the elements. "You know what these are, correct?" she asked "Yea, the Elements of Harmony. Why?" I asked. I didn't know what was going on, but I didn't like the feeling I had. "I'm afraid that Discord tricked you." said Celestia "What do you mean?" "He tricked you into coming here, so that he could escape Equestria, and stay in your world!" "I knew something was up when he sent me here." I said "Wait, can you take me back to Earth? Then Discord should end up back here." "I'm afraid I can't." "Great, just great." I said. I was enranged at the fact that a being of eternal chaos and disharmony was in my world. What's more, is that there was no chance of going back to Earth, meaning I was stuck here. Normaly, I woulnd't have minded that, but in this situation, I wanted to get back as soon as possible. The fact that Discord manipulated and tricked me to come is what really filled me with anger. Now I was getting serious "If there really is no hope of me getting me from here to Earth, Discord is probably going to atleast get involved with the Navy or something because of the kind of things he does. And if that happens, there's probably going to be...oh no." I didn't even want to think of what he was doing. I swear, I was more enraged more than I have ever been in my life. My home, my family, my WORLD. All of it was probably suffering from Discord right now. "Celestia, unicorns can move things to another area with magic, right?" "Yes, why do you ask?" "I have a plan. Get the Elements to those 6, and I want each and every single unicorn in all of equestria to get in ponyvile. Oh yea, I want you, Cadence and Luna to come too. I'll explain everything else there." I said, making myself seem like a genuis seemed to calm me down. "Understood." > The Plan > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Ponyvile* "I have gathered you ponies here today for a very important reason!" I began "I am sure you all remember Discord, correct?" I heard a large amout of comotion from the crowd. "Well, as some of you are aware, he has gone into my world." I heard gasps from the crowd "But have no fear, I have a plan. Elements, please, come up here." they all did, and surprisingly, I didn't see a struggle to get Fluttershy up to the stage. "Today, more magic is going to be used more than ever for just one event! These 6 will use the elements, however, you are all going to help. As to how, you may ask, each and every single one of you are going to use your magic to transport it to Earth. The Elements should affect the whole planet, so there will be no missed shot. Then, I will go to Earth with the help of your magic one again, retreive Discord, and leave the rest to Celestia." I stepped down from the podiam I had been using, and went to the mane 6. "Okay girls, you ready?" "Yes!" they said together "Good." I ran a safe distance away. The six got in formation and soon, there was a rainbow coming up from the 6 "NOW!" I yelled. Soon, tons of glowing horns came from the audiance. A portal to Eath had been made, and the rainbow was shot right into it. *Earth* Tons of people worldwide looked up to the sky, just to se a rainbow crash down on them. Including Discord, who was the only one turned to stone. I don't know how, but I had actualy managed to see that. *Ponyvile* After the vision, I jumped, just barely making it into the portal. *Earth* I found Discord's statue and grabbedit, and jumped back into the portal, taking a breath of relief that no crazy sculpist or other brony found it. *Ponyvile* I lept out of the portal, and thankfully, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy carried me down, while I held Discord's statue like a little kid who just caut a big fish. Cheers from the crowd almost gave me a headache. When I got to ground, Celestia had been the first to approach me. "Thank you for saving this world, and yours." she said to me, as a medal was put around my neck. *Twilight's Library* "Spike, can you get a scroll and a quil pen please?" I asked "Sure thing!" he ran off, and soon, he came back with the materials I had asked for "Here." said Spike, who was giving me the materials "Thanks." I said. "No prob." I sat down at a desk and began to write "Dear Princess Celestia Today, I learned that even when things seem tough, that you should never give up. Because if you just take the time to think, you can get through any situation Your Faithful Human, Mason" "Spike, send this to Celestia, please." I said "Sure." Spike then spit out a green flame, and the letter vanished. Suddenly, Pinkie Pie came in "Omygoshohmygoshohmygosh! I almost forgot! you know what we need to do for this?" she asked "I sure do Pinke." "Party time!" we both said together THE END?
