As I jumped into the portal I grabbed the rest of my costume and started to put it on. I finished putting it on and I was still falling. I checked everything was still in my backpack and jacket in case I needed to survive. it was and I secured it to myself. 
Soon enough I dropped onto the ground. I had not mastered the superhero landing yet so I collapsed hard. when I got up I saw that the ground had an indentation in it. I looked around and I recognized where I was. 
My jaw dropped, It was Equestria. I looked around and saw that some trees behind me were completely torn to shreds. I figured that someone would be coming soon so I decided not to stick around. I grabbed a small electricity generator out of my bag and turned it on. I then absorbed some power from it until I was fully charged. I then put back the generator and I jumped as high as I could. 
I saw Ponyville was to the north of me. I landed and started to walk towards it. After a half an hour I came to the clearing and saw that I was near the library. I decided that I landed in the time before Twilight got her wings. I went to the library and saw that almost all the windows and doors were closed. I saw someone slam a door when they saw me. 
I sighed and thought they were scared of me. I knocked on the library and yelled "TWILIGHT! ARE YOU IN HERE!? SPIKE?! ANYBODY?!" I stayed there for a few minutes before I turned around. I was walking away when I heard the door open.
"How do you know my name?" asked Twilight Sparkle.
I turned around and said to her. "It's a long story that I really don't have the time to say. Do you think you can make a portal to Earth?"
She looked at me suspiciously. "What species are you?"
I sighed in exasperation "I'm Human."
"You don't look like any human that I've seen."
"Oh, This outfit I'm wearing helps keep my powers in check."
"Powers? Like Magic?" She asked.
"Actually, No. My powers involve science instead of magic. It's a long story that I don't want to explain."
"Show me." She half asked, half told.
I sighed and put my hands together and in them a sphere that grew steadily larger. I raised it above my head and slammed it into the earth. It radiated electricity that branched out to all the houses. It short-circuited all of the lights in ponyville.
"Believe me now?" I asked exasperated
She looked at me angrily for a second before I said
"Oh, right. Hold on!" I did it again and this time all of the lights came on. A few ponies were stumbling out of their houses due to how weird their lights were working.And when they saw me they looked terrified. I felt a bit sad but they obviously couldn't see my face.
"So can you make a portal or not? Because right now my school is in danger."
"Your school? How old are you?"
"Look no offense, But I keep this mask on to protect my identity. So I can't tell you tha...." But I was cut off halfway as I felt my mask fly off my face.
"HEY!!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs at the rainbow pegasus that had taken my mask. I covered my face and nobody saw it except for Twilight who was staring at me."RAINBOW DASH, GIVE ME BACK MY MASK!!!"
She stopped in midair and she looked at me and saw my face.
"You know my name? But.... You're an alien?"
I jumped at her and grabbed my mask. I put it back on and said to her. "I could say the same to all of you."
"Are you going to tell us what we want to know or do we need to take your mask again?" 
"You take my mask and I permanently short circuit your lights, but...... Fine." I sigh deeply and say. "Might as well bring all the citizens of ponyville so that I don't have to repeat my answers multiple times."
Soon enough all of the citizens were looking at me and badgering me with questions.
"EVERYONE SHUT UP!!" I yelled and silence followed. "Good. Now if you have a question raise your hoof." Everyone raised their hoof and I said. 
"Ok. Pinkie Pie. You first." 
"Where did you come from?" she asked excitedly and about half of the crowd lowered their hooves.
"I came from Medicine Hat, Canada, planet Earth, in the Milky Way Galaxy." I looked at everyone and said, "I'm assuming I'm in a different galaxy then?"
"No, actually." Said Twilight.
"Ok. Next question. Hmmm..... Scootaloo, go ahead."
"How do you know all our names?"
"Let's just say that our planet has known about you for 7 years now."
Suddenly Fluttershy raised her hoof to my amazement. I said "go ahead." to her and she asked
"if you knew about us then why didn't you come meet us sooner?"
"Well........ This is where things start getting extremely complicated. You see. on our planet, You are fictional characters."
Everyone looked at me and Applejack said: "Come again?"
"It's true. On my planet you are all characters in a T.V. show called 'My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic'"
Everyone stared at me as if I was crazy. They then turned to Pinkie Pie who also seemed stunned. I asked her.
"I thought you of all ponies would know this, seeing as how you break the 4th wall all the time."
She then said "I just see the cameras and the words that the author is typing right now. I had no idea that they were actually recording us."
"Author?" I asked her.
"Yeah. He's typing up everything we are doing it and posting it on Fimfiction.net."
I facepalmed myself. "So there's a human that's making this public in the human world. Exactly what I need, more publicity."
She then asked me. "I thought superheroes would have liked publicity. Especially with your feelings toward..." I put my hand over her mouth to shut her up.
"You really don't need to say that do you? I don't like it because as you probably already know, in my world I'm a geek." I looked at her a little mad, But she knew that I wasn't threatening her.
She nodded and I removed my hand from her mouth. Soon enough I was back on the stage and waiting for someone else to ask a question but no one did.
I then sigh and said "I guess I'll explain what happened before I got sent here. See I was at school and we suddenly got an earthquake or whatever you call it here. I was saving people and I put them outside with the rest of their class. I changed back into my street clothes and joined them. Suddenly a portal to here opened up and I put my mask on. They saw who I was and I jumped into the portal. I put the rest of my costume on and landed here." 
Suddenly Fluttershy raised her hoof again to my amazement. 
"Yes, Fluttershy?" I asked. She turned red at the sudden attention she got from everyone. It was kinda cute.
"Well.... Um... If your human. why do you wear a mask?"
I facepalmed myself in my mind and answered "So I can keep my identity a secret. Also, this costume keeps my powers in check. If I don't wear this at least ones a day, then the electricity will build up and I'll release electricity discharges at random times."
Suddenly Rarity raised her hoof. "Yes?"
"But, why that design? It so dark and scary."
"Hey, I designed and sewn this myself. But the reason it's like this is because I wanted a Batman approach."
Twilight suddenly asked, "Who's Batman?"
"Long story. Let's just say that I wear this to scare criminals and make them think twice before they commit a crime."
There was a long silence until I said. "Well, if that's all the questions then I guess I better go. It's getting late and I'm tired." I said as i looked at the darkening sky. I then started to walk off the stage before I remembered something.
"Hold on. May I talk to Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Twilight for a moment?" The 4 that I called looked at each other for a moment before they came with me to a private room.
"What did you need?" Twilight asked.
"I wanted to give you 4 some advice that I think could help you."
Rainbow looked angry for a second. "Hey! If you're going to say to leave you alone or threaten us, you got another thing coming!" She poked me in the chest angrily. 
I sighed and said "It's nothing like that. I wanted to give you advice about how to make what your best at even better."
They stared at me. I then started saying "Rainbow, You know how you keep your wings completely straight when you fly?" I then drew a lowercase t to show them what I meant.
"Yeah?" she asked still suspicious
"Well, if you curve your wings so that they are closer to your body, then you won't have as much air resistance. Here, I'll show you." I got up before Rainbow jumped back
"I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to show you what I mean."
"I'm not letting some dude, who can't even trust us with his name and face touch my wings!"
i sighed. "Fine." I pulled my hood off and took some glasses out of my pocket. They saw that I had blue hair that was fading at the sides. Rainbow still looked apprehensive, but a little less.
"You look like Devon." She said to me.
"Devon Exceon? Ok, that's something I'll have to ask later," I said in the back of my mind.
"My name is Damyon Chapman. I am fifteen and I've had these powers for a few years." I put my mask in my pocket where my glasses were and I asked her. "Now may I show you?"
She looked a bit apprehensive before she said "Fine. Just don't shock me."
"Don't worry. That's why I wear the gloves." I knelt down beside her expanded wings. I bent them back so that they looked like jet wings. I then got back up and said: "There, try flying like that." 
She got up and then started flying around. She was at least 30% faster than I usually see her. She landed beside her friends and gave me a half smile.
"Thanks, this feels much faster now!"
"Yeah. Maybe if you practice hard enough you can break through a second barrier." I laughed.
"OOH! What about me!" Pinkie asked.
"For better parties, I have three big rules. More guest, louder music, and better food. Oh, also." I took my backpack off and looked around my food. I then spotted some alcohol that I had taken from my parent's cabinet. I take this with me just in case I ever wanted to drown my sorrows or celebrate. "Here. Put a bit of this in every drink and by the end of the night everyone who had a drink will have the time of their lives." I handed her the bottle.
"What is it?" She asked excitedly.
"It's called vodka. It's really strong so only a few drops should do that trick," I told her.
"OK! I'm off to plan a party right now!"
Twilight, Rainbow, and Applejack looked at me as Pinkie dashed out the door.
"What have you done?" Twilight asked me.
"Made her parties better. You are going to have headaches the next morning, but it's gonna be worth it. Anyway, Twilight."
"What? My magic is already really good."
"Yes, But it's not perfect. For this, i would suggest taking Rainbow with you. I would say make a ranking ladder on how resistant to magic each creature is. and you would gradually go up the ladder while practicing on each creature. After you finish the ladder with one particular spell, you would go back to the bottom again with a different spell. And this continues over and over until you finish all your spells."
Twilight looked at me like I was crazy. "Come on, just give it a try alright?" I asked. She nodded after a little bit and I finally turned to Applejack.
"What's your advice for me?"
"I'm going to teach you how to buck multiple trees with one hit." I then started explaining about aura and how you can channel it into a specific area of your body, making it stronger. I then gave an example and punch the wall. It creates a large indention in the wall.
"Yeah, sorry about that." I shake my hand to clear the aura back to the rest of my body. I then show her how to do it and she practices.
"I think that's everything. See you girls later." i say happily as i take my glasses off and put my mask back on before I leave the room.
