Chapter 2 : New World

Rudolf make his way out of the forest by following the pathway, he saw the most incredible things he never gonna believe. A colorful and peaceful world, the land was prosperous and healthy. It shows as a war never broke off in this world, unlike on his original one where every nation fought in the world. Whatever this place is, shocked and amazed the young Soldier. He took off his helmet in awe, revealing a blonde hair that was protected and concealed by the helmet. He gaze upon the beautiful world, surely this is a dream or perhaps, a fantasy world that only exist on someone minds. Suddenly, all of the weight of the heavy backpack was no longer felt by the Soldier as the longer he stood in the green field.

He shook his head rapidly to return to reality, surely this surely made him insane by now, but he hasn't. This world was so different than the one back at his home, the world are having a war of the worlds. Surely, he'll never going to return back if no one helped him go back to his own. But this peaceful world only made him want to stay forever, back there he maybe called a coward, but he did not wish for it as he volunteer to change the past. Unexpectedly only travel into another world where Animal could talk, this only could be made by magic. It's the only explanation, but he did not believe such myth. Come on, a Pegasus? That was a Greek mythology, plus it had spoken to him not long ago. He scratch his head, confused by the new world he had himself stumble upon.

Putting back the steel helmet onto his head, he made his way to the small town nearby. He assumed to be friendly so he put away his rifle, safely strapped onto his backpack, but once he arrived. He saw no activities nor did anyone in the town, as it was recently empty. He saw the town market to be completely abandoned with their stand left along with the item they sell. Surely he find it suspicious, this town was recently emptied in such a quick note. Maybe they see him when he's holding his rifle up, and suspect him to be a threat and immediately evacuate.

He strolled through the empty town, without seeing anyone or anything moving except the wind that occasionally blows over the emptiness. He narrowed his eye to see four golden armored pony approached him with a spear, he quickly grab his rifle and aimed towards the approaching armored pony's. They halted their advance as Rudolf aimed his rifle at each of them, he shouted in German to stand back. At the mist of tension, he saw a lavender pony landed nearby. Both being Unicorn and Pegasus combined, followed by five others pony behind it. There was a variation of them, two normal pony,
an Unicorn and two Pegasus. It was the yellow Pegasus he encountered when he fought with the strange creature back at the forest. His gaze was locked upon the yellow Pegasus who was hiding behind its mane.

"Attention, err... you! Whatever you are." the lavender pony begins. He can tell that pony is a mare due to its girlish voice, but he still doesn't understand what in the world is happening. The lavender continues, "I stand here, by the name of the Princesses to arrest you!"

Rudolf eyes went wide, surely no one- or ponies, are harmed on his way here. Are being entirely different creature is wrong? Especially from a different universe as he was right now? He spoke up to complain, but the guards did not give any chance and raised its spear at him. Slowly moving forward to the German Soldier, he stood back for a moment. He knows that they're clearly outdated equipment is no match for his rifle, but he stood still and lowers his rifle.

The ponies was confused at his action and looked at him, the guards on the other hand. Halted their advance once again as he lowered his rifle, being cautious at the weird creature standing with two feet.

Rudolf finally spoke up, "I come in peace, fellow ponies," raising his hand while putting away his rifle. "I don't want to harm any of you!"

The lavender then took a step forward, hesitating at the tall man. Roughly two-three feet taller than herself, she stood in with both confidence and cautious. She then cleared her throat, "Welcome to Ponyville! I am Princess Twilight Sparkle and this is my friend."

As she finished her sentence, all five ponies -- including the yellow Pegasus -- steps in and introduced them self. The first one was the Orange pony called Applejack, and then the white Unicorn. Calling herself Rarity, followed with a over confidence blue Pegasus named Rainbow Dash. Pink pony bounced up to the air just to introduced herself, she was called Pinkie Pie. And last but not least, the yellow Pegasus. She still hiding behind her mane, and didn't introduced herself unlike the rest of her friend.

Twilight immediately spoke up, calling the yellow Pegasus name. "Fluttershy it's okay, you can introduce yourself. Don't need to be shy." but Fluttershy stood still while her friends poke her.

She jumped in surprised, finally snapping back to reality. She finally introduced herself, "Uuh... umm... hello. M-my name is Fluttershy..."

Rudolf only nodded as they finally introduced them self. He then looked at Twilight, "Tell me. What is this place actually?"

Twilight cleared her throat before explaining. "Well, as you can see. This land was called Equestria, and I welcomed you err..." she stopped mid sentence, then laugh sheepishly at Rudolf. "Sorry, I didn't catch your name."

"My name is Rudolf Von Schreiner. It is a pleasure to meet you... um, ponies."

"Well, hello there Rudolf! It's nice to meet you too," she then turned to the guards, who was still raised their spears toward Rudolf. She announced the guard to at ease and leave them be. The guards nodded, dropping their guard and left the six ponies alone with the strange man.

She once again cleared her throat, "Anyway, what brings you here?"

"Oh, I was accidentally teleported to- whatever this place is," said Rudolf as he look around, starting to see ponies trotting around the town. "Say, isn't this town was empty a moment ago?"

Twilight giggles, "Oh, it was because we thought you're a threat, so we told everypony to hide."

Rudolf was disappointed for a moment, but quickly set it aside. "Ah, I see. It was my fault that made you ponies thinks that."

Before Twilight could speaks up, Pinkie bounced in front of her. "Now, since he's here. Why don't we throw him a party!?"

Twilight, being rudely interrupted is the first one to speak up before anyon- pony could. "No, Pinkie. Throwing a party is not necessary, besides he will not allowed it."

Rudolf, being the one talked about quick steps into the conversation. "Yes, maybe a party is not such a good idea."

Twilight cheered at Rudolf, thanking him for backing up for her. On the other hand, Pinkie's mane dropped down like a balloon, and a disappointed face appeared.

Rudolf, unable to resist the cuteness created by the ponies finally gave in. "Okay, maybe a little."

This made Pinkie's mane returned to normal and then bounced in happiness, cheering out "YES" and told him that it will be the best party ever. Twilight facehoofed while her other friends chuckled.

"I mean come on, Twilight. Nothing is going to happen at a party... right?"
