> Could you repeat that? Equestria?! > by theponywiththegoldenhelm > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1 I believe I can fly…AHHHHHHH Name’s Jones Reed. I’m your average gamer. Every minute that I get is playing video game. Most of it is during the night with the lights off, so I have some pretty acute hearing and sight. I’m twenty years old. I play everything from Team Fortress to Metal Gear Solid, to Call of Duty. I am quick in my body as well as my mind. I use tactics and meta games to defeat my enemies. I am friendly and will be there for my friends. My brother Charles, or as I like to call him Charlie, decided to play some games. Apparently he just started watching something he called MLP FiM or something. I’ll have to ask about that. My name is Luna. Co-Ruler of Equestria alongside my sister Celestia. I’m your average gamer. Even for being gone for one-thousand years, I’m still a gamer. Since the most of the royal duties are during day, I have few during the night. I spend my nights playing games of all kinds. I am hard to get along since am awake mostly at night and use the CANTERLOT TONE OF VOICE. Since Celestia is asleep, I’m pretty lonely. I occasionally call one of my guards to come play with me, but I wish I had a real gamer to play with. I’m going to go play some Team Fortress with a guard... “So what’s this MLP thing you were talking about?” I asked Charlie. “It means My Little Pony.” He responded. “I heard about that… is it any good?” “Good story, good animation, there’s a reason there’s an online army of people who like it.” “Really… I should check it out later.” “Hey, get on TF2 and I’ll watch you kill some noobs.” “Good idea.” I loaded up TF2 and found an empty server and as I joined two other players did the same. The map was CP_Well. “Prince$$ 0f Th3 Night and Bat Winged Guardian. Sound like anything you bro?” “Well, Princess Luna is the princess of the night and her guards have bat wings. Must be some bronys.” “Anyway, what class?” “Every time you die, random.” I random’d and got medic. My battle medic load out is Blutslauger, strange Medigun, and Amputator. Charlie got heavy. His load out is Brass Beast, Sandvich, Killing Gloves of Boxing. “Let’s do this.” Kill after kill later, we were on the last point. In the text, Night was getting pretty pissed off. “Yo, Night is on the breaking point with anger, Let’…” is all I could do I could get out before some electricity came out of the screen and a portal pulled me surprisingly backwards. I was flying through the air at a pretty fast rate. “I believe I can fly… AHHHHHHHH!” I yelled as loud as I can as my face met ground. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2 MEDIC! I Require Assistance! “FYI, Your Dead and Trolldier. Shall we destroy them?" The bat winged stallion simply nodded his head. I picked soldier and he picked scout. The other players picked medic and heavy. “Should be easy.” Then, death, death, and a little more death. “I am royally angry.” I said holding back. “I got to go, see you later Princess.” said my guard. One he left, I flipped out and shot the computer with a magic outburst. I stopped for a second “Well… crap.” Ow, my face, ow. “Can I get the plate number of that truck?” “It’s awake Tia!” said some voice, sounding female. “Tia, I don’t know no Tia.” I said as I opened my eyes. Standing in front of me was a pony. It had wings… and a horn. It was beautiful dark and light blue colors. I could dive into those eyes. Wait, what the fuck?! Brain stop thinking those things right NOW! “Uh… Hello?” “THOU SHALL ADDRESS ME AS THOU’S PRINCESS!” She yelled. I’m surprised she can’t shatter glass this that volume. “I don’t know about you, but I just freakin’ fell in from another dimension after I owned some people in Team Fortress 2. Cut me some slack will ya!” “What, what is your name on Steam?” she asked wondering. “It’s FYI, Your Dead. Why?” “I might be the reason you’re here.” she chuckled nervously. “WHAT!?!?” I yelled with a voice that could rival her’s. “What’s all the noise about Luna?” It was another one of those ponies walked in but she was white. “Who is this? Did you get that lonely to summon somepony else to play with you?” “SHUT UP!!!!” The blue pony and I yelled at her. “Who are you anyway?” “The name’s Jones and where the fuck am I?” “You are in Equestria.” I pointed to the blue one and said “I blame her.” “What did I do?!” “You brought me here! I fell outta the sky because of you!” “Hey! It’s my job to argue with my sister, not you!” The white one said. “Speaking of which, what’s you name!?” “I am Princess Celestia and the one to the right of you is my sister, Princess Luna.” “So, care to explain how you sister managed to get me here?” “Princess Celestia, your student and her friends are here to see you.” a guard put simply. “Send her in.” Then, from down the hallway I hear this “What do ya think Celestia wanted us here?” said one with a southern accent. “I don’t know, but it sounded like a small problem.” I got off the floor and whispered in Celestia’s ear “This is a small problem?! Helping a human get back to his own dimension!? I don’t wanna know what a big problem is.” She giggled a little. Then six ponies more ponies walked in. Two had just horns, two with just wings, and two with nether. They were all different colors. White, purple, orange, pink, cyan, and yellow. “What’s the problem…” is all the purple one could get out. “Not such a small problem now eh?” I said. > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3 Twilight.exe has stopped working! Please restart. Twilight just stared at this thing next to the Princesses. She just stood still not moving a single millimeter. "Twalight, you ok?" asked the orange pony. I saw what happened and knew how to fix it. "Hit her." I said with a monotone voice. "What?" replied the orange pony. "Just hit her, smack her, do something to cause pain." The orange pony thought about it and smacked her purple friend who I assume is her friend Twilight. "OW!" Twilight yelled. "Good to see you are not a zombie anymore." I said. "Princess Celestia, what is it!?" Before Celestia could say anything I said "This thing has a name if you ask it!" "Well, Twilight where did you manners go?" asked the white one, sounding poshy. "Anyway, who are you?" said the white one. "Well, since you asked nicely and recognized me as a sentient being," I said the last part looking at Twilight "the name's Jones Reed. "It's nice to meet you. My name is Rarity. Let introduce you to my friends. From your left to right," I moved my head first left and then right to see the order of ponies. "Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash." "Well, it's nice to meet you all, but I think your Princess has something to say." "Thank you James, as I was going to say, James is a human from a different dimension, and I would like Twilight to try and send him back." Before Twilight could reply, an unknown force shook the room. "The fuck was that!?" I said worryingly. A different guard charged into the room, wearing purple armor. "Princess Celestia, the changelings are attacking!" he said. "Shining Armor!" Twilight almost yelled as she dashed over to him. "Twilie, what are you doing here?" Shining asked. "Princess Celestia called us here." "By the way you talk to her, I'll take a guess that she is part of your family?" "Yes, she's my sister." "Anyway, what in da hell are changelings!?" I said after another force shook the room. "They are these bug like creatures that steal love from ponies." Luna put. "Well, let's go kick their asses out of here!!" I put with a voice that could lead an army. "You are not in your homeland yet you are willing to fight. Why?" Luna asked confused. "I'm stuck here for the moment, which makes Equestria my homeland for the time." "Well good, we need any help we can get there's some armor and weapons down the hall way." Shining Armor. "YES SIR!" I yelled and saluted. I then started down the hallway. As I walked down the hallway feeling like I could make a difference, I thought that a Big Daddy from Bioshock would be helpful. Too bad. "What's happening to you to!?" Dash said shocked and amazed at the same time. I looked around, then at my feet. Some sort of aqua bluish ring around my feet. It looks like... the... ocean. The ring rose up past my feet and a saw some huge boots at my feet. Big Daddy boots. I smiled with a smile that showed happiness and insanity. Luna had the same smile as me. She knew what I was becoming. After the ring went over my head, what used to be Jason Reed is now Subject Delta. "Lets go sir." My voice is still the same, but echoed. Shining Armor.exe has stop working. Restarting. "I am not going to question that, follow me." Shining took off into the doorway. I kept the pace with him even with the armor. We walked into a main room and it looked like a war zone. Bodies, blood decorated the walls in red and green, weapons lying everywhere. "Stand back, this might get messy." I switched to my Incinerate 3 (Thank god I had Plasmids) and lobbed a fire ball into the crowd of changelings at the back of the room. They all burst into flames and burnt to a crisp. There was one more of them, about the size of the Princesses. I yelled over the room to the huge changeling "HEY, who's on fire now?!". "YOU SHALL PAY FOR THISSSS!" It yelled at me. It took a double take at me and was shocked when I held my ground and walked forward. I switched to Winter Blast 3 and froze a changeling corpse into a block of ice. Using Telekinesis, I flung the changeling towards her, but did not expect a rebound. The corpse shot me into the hallway from whence I came. I took cover and started thinking. Ok, if I can turn into a Bioshock character, maybe I can be different game characters. Lets see if she can take $200 dollar bullets. The same ring appeared not once, but twice. Standing in the place this time was the Heavy and the Medic. "How are you doing that!?!?" Luna said astounded and amazed. "I do not know comrade, but we figure this out after coward killing time!" I said. "I'm fully charged!" I said. It feels weird talking to myself. I charged into hallway with my minigun revved up. "Who is thissss? Whoever you are, you shall die!" that damn bug said. "IS GOOD TIME TO RUN, COWARDS!" I yelled as I pop'd Ubercharge. "What sick man send us babies to fight?" At this point, more regular changelings joined the fight and were mowed down by gun fire. The giant changeling dashed off after seeing a sight so gruesome and terrifying. The red ring appeared above our heads and turned us into me. The one and only Jason Reed. "Whoa, I feel light headed." I said as I stumbled around. Luna came over and said concerningly "Are you okay?" "Fess..." I promptly passed out. > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4 The part where crap is explained Beep...beep...beep. "Shut up clock." "I think he is waking." said Luna. "Ugh, what happened?" I asked "One, you scared me! Two, you scared the buck out of Queen Chrysalis" she replied "Oh, now I remember. Maybe that magic you shot at me mutated me or some shit. By the way, how long have I been out?" "Three days." "WHAT!?" "Are you sure that he does not have the ROYAL CANTERLOT TONE OF VOICE?" Celestia said as she walked in. "Perhaps, Tia, Perhaps." Luna said pondering this. "Anyway, you were saying something about mutation or something Jason?" Celestia asked "Princess Luna her computer with magic or some shit then, DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN, here I am with crazy powers. "It might have been a magic mutation. The unfocused magic mutations result in the more powerful mutants. *KNOCK* "Come on in." I said. In walked, Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow. "That was AWSOME!" Dash yelled excitedly. "That was mighty brave." Applejack said. "How did that even work?" Twilight asked. "Yes, it was Rainbow. Yes, it was Applejack. I have magical mutations, Twilight." I said replying to them all. "Anyway, can I leave this place already?" "We signed you out partner, let's get goin'." Applejack said. "By the way, just call us Luna and Celestia. You will always welcome in Canterlot Castle." Celestia whispered in my ear. I whispered back thanks and left. Ponyville Train Station "Do you have any video games here?" I inquired. "Why do you keep asking that?" Twilight asked, obviously annoyed. "Why? Why? I'm a gamer. That's why!" I replied to this silly question. "Really?" Dash asked surprised. "You body looks more athletic than a gamer." Now is my chance. "Why? Like what you see?" I said as I raised my eyebrow. "NONONONONONO! Not like that!" Dash responded quickly and blushed a red velvet blush. Canterlot Castle "You like him, don't you Luna?" Celestia asked. "I would lie to you, but it’s true. I mean, he defended us and he hadn't know us for two days. "I could see him staring into your eyes." "I just wonder, does he feel the same about me?" Luna pondered this question while she walked to her bedroom. Carousel Boutique Rarity insisted that she makes new clothes for me. I couldn't resist. My clothes were covered in changeling blood. I wonder if Luna likes me. If I could marry her, why the hell would I need to leave. "What are you thinking about, dear?" Rarity asked "Nothing. Just wondering about stuff." I replied. All right, the measurements are done. Come back tomorrow and you clothes will be ready." "Thanks again Rarity." "You should go see Twilight. She talked to Princess Celestia and has a room ready for you." "Ok." I walked over to Twilight's place and opened the door. "Who?" asked a voice. I turned to my right to see a owl. "Is Twilight here?" I asked. "Who?" "I'll take that as a yes. Wait, did I just ask a owl a question? I must be going crazy." I said as I walked in and saw a note. Dear Jason, I had to leave because of a question I need to research on. Go up the stairs and the third door on the right is you room. See you later, Twilight Sparkle I head to my room and saw a nice blue flower in a vase on my drawers. I touched it's leaf and saw it the blue of Luna’s galaxy hair or whatever it's called. I went to bed wondering what tomorrow would bring. The next day I woke up to the sun and got out of bed. *SMASH* "FUCK!" Twilight burst thought the door "Are you ok?" Then her eyes went small. "WHO ARE YOU!?" "Uh... Earth to Twilight It’s me Jason. Don't you recognize me?" "Jason... is that you?" "What happened?" "You’re a pony." "AHAHAHAHAHAH!" Dash laughed at the top of her lungs. I walked over to Dash and said to her very calmly "I am royally pissed right now. You have 5 seconds to run before I kill you." Dash looked me in the eyes and the fiery passion to utterly murder her. She took off towards Canterlot Castle. "5...4...3...2...1" I say as I dash off at supersonic speeds after Dash. "Quoth the raven: I'MA FUCK YOU UP!" Celestia's Pov Another nice sunny day, birds are singing, nothing could ruin this."Quoth the raven:I'MA FUCK YOU UP!" Never mind. I looked out the wind to see a very scared Rainbow Dash and a VERY pissed off alicorn. The alicorn had a mane the same color as Luna's, a dark blue body, and eye's that were also similar to Luna's. "Who is that, sis?" Luna asked. "It sounds like...Jason." "SAVE ME PRINCESS CELESTIA" Dash yelled at me, obviously scared. She sped behind me sand curled up in a ball. The other alicorn flew down calmly. "AHAHAHAHAHAH" He started laughed very hard. "You honestly thought I was pissed off!" "So, you're not mad?" Dash asked sounding like Fluttershy. "I'm still mad. I just faked the 'I'ma kill you right now' bit." "Jason?" Luna asked "Yes Luna." Jason replied. Luna's wings shot up instantly. "Fuck" Luna said under her breath. "I was going to ask if you liked what you see, but your wings answered before you could." He said with a smirk. I giggled a little. Jason walked over to Luna and gave her a hugs and comfort because she was blushing a red not seen in the rainbow. Jason's Pov I can't believe that I'm hugging Luna. My heart just exploded. The blush in her cheeks was still pronounced, but slowly faded. "Hey Luna, didn't you zap a computer to bring me here, and you were in the game, do you have video games?" Luna's eyes lit up and said "Follow me." She brought me to her room. It had two computers, PS3, XBOX360, and games piled up to the ceiling. "I think I just died and went to gamer heaven." I said amazed. Luna giggled. "How do I put this?" Luna said shyly "Put what?" I asked. "When you were astounded my room, I scanned your body to see what caused your transformation. I do not know what caused it, but unfortunately..." "Unfortunately what?!" "...your transformation is permanent." "WHAT!?" I flung Luna into her bed with my voice. Holy shit. "What's going on?" Celestia asked while she walked over to Luna's room. "Watch this." I whispered. Celestia opened the door. I yelled in her face. "FUS RO DAH!" Celestia flew across the hallway, through a door, into her room. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" Luna laughed so hard she couldn't breathe. "Come on, lets play some TF2!" > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5 Take the Day! After some intense gaming, I decided to hit the hay. Herp derp, I can make pony jokes. Hur hur hur. "There is a empty room on the right at the end of the hallway. If you want to sleep alone that is." Luna said that last part raising a eyebrow. "I think I'll stay right here." I said. Spirit Banishment Dimension "What shall we do about this new one, master?" asked a voice "Wait, Charles, wait. We will show them what you are capable of when the time is right." replied a voice. "Why not now? He has not unlocked his true power." "The time must be perfect." "Yes master." "In the meantime, continue your training." "Yes master." 'I will have my revenge' Charles thought. Back in Equestria "You know Lunie, I wonder what happened to my brother Charlie." I asked Luna "What makes you think of that?" Luna asked "I dunno. Look at me now, where could he be now?" "I dunno." "Anyway how do I put this?..." "What?" Luna said interested "Do you love me?" "What gave you that idea?" "The wing-boner, the blush, the way you treat me." "Yes, you have my hooves tied." "Well, that takes care of that. Anything on your mind?" "I was wondering...if... you would go to the grand galloping gala with me? This year's going to be the first time since my one-thousand year banishment." "Thousand year banishment?! What are you talking about?" "Did Tia or Twilight tell you?" "No." "One thousand years ago, Tia controlled the sun and I the moon, such as now. Ponies played in her day while they slept through my night. My jealousy utterly destroyed me and turned me into Nightmare Moon and I tried to create eternal night." Luna was crying at this point. "Shhh, Lunie. I'm right here." "Tia banished me to the moon and I eventually came back and was defeated and saved by Twilight and her friends. I'm sorry if worried you." "Maybe I didn't come here and get turned into a pony by accident. Maybe the universe decided to be nice and bring us together. Anyway, I'll be heading to Ponyville to get a suit for this gala thing." "I know this will come in your mind, when I was saved, I lost most of my age. I'm about twenty right now." "Now that I think about this, I could use a new name." "How about Nightwalker?" "I like that." Back to Charlie and his master... "He is starting to gain his powers from Luna's love." "Let us attack when he least expects it." "As you wish master." Tomorrow, Ponyville "I would gladly make that suit for you, Jason!" Rarity said joyful. "Please call me Nightwalker, Rarity." "Whatever you say darling." "Hey, Jones. I just got a letter for you." Spike said walking in. Dear Jason, The GGG is tomorrow. Tia moved it because all main problems were fixed. From your love, Luna "Wow." I said. "What darling?" Rarity asked. "The gala is moved to tomorrow." "Don't worry. I'l have it done by then." "Thanks Rarity." "My pleasure darling." Later at Rainbow Dash's house "Hey Dash." "Hey Jason." "How did you learn how to fly that fast?!" Dash said shocked after she realized that she lives in a cloud house. "I dunno, maybe it's just a instinct thing. Anyway, do you wanna go see Twilight?" "Sure. Why not?" We started to fly to Twilight's library. Dash landed at the front door. I got a face full of dirt. Getting up, I shook myself off. Dash was laughing on the inside, still a little shaken up by my little prank. I knocked on the door. "Come on in. It's a public library." Twilight said as if she has had to say it a million times. I walk in with Rainbow. "Hey Twi." I said. "Oh, hello Jason. What do you need?" " I'd like some books on magic." Twilight's eyes lit up so big, I though she was going to start talking in Japanese like a anime character. "Gladly! Give me a moment." She replied. She filled an empty saddle bag full of 5 huge books. The kind of books you could kill a cat if you dropped them. "Thanks Twilight." "No problem at all." I started to walk out to head back to a cloud to do some reading. Rainbow had to leave to go clear the sky. I flew to a cloud and started to read. I stopped about page 249. Jeeze, magic is more freakin' complicated than nuclear physics. I got up, stretched, and flew down. I decided before I head back to the castle and go take the longest snooze of my life, to try a basic levitation spell. A rock the size of a tennis ball seemed like a good place to start. I focus and got about a foot off the ground when I got distracted...by a loud pink cotton-candy distraction. "HI JASON!" She yelled outta nowhere "GAHH!!" I screamed. "Pinkie!" She giggled "What silly?" "Don't do that!!!! I think I just had a freakin' heart attack." "Sorry. Anyway, whatcha doing?" "Well, I was trying to to a levitation spell and then you came along." "I was wondering...do you wanna go help me at Fluttershy's?" "Sure. Why not?." We walked on over the the edge of Everfree forest. One thing that I've noticed is that there are no animals. Pinkie told me on the way that Fluttershy takes care of lots of animals. I walked up and knocked on the door. "W-w-who is there?" She said softly behind the door. "It's Jones and me, you silly filly." Pinkie said entusiasticly. She eats way too much sugar I bet. "Oh, come in please." I walk in and I see almost no animals in the house. "Pinkie told me you take care of animals. I don't see any. Did something happen?" I asked. "Y-yes. A couple of hours after I left to get some food, I came back and they were gone." "Something bad might happen." "What makes you say that?" Fluttershy asked with lots of interest. "I think I remember reading from somewhere that animals of all kinds can sense disasters to come. Like earthquakes and stuff." I said. I had a small conversation before I had to leave. I flew back to the castle and headed to my room. I promptly jumped in and fell asleep.
