//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: 'The Mysterious Pony' // Story: A new World, a new generation!?... // by RandomFics271197 //------------------------------// At the same time in Friendship Castle, Twilight and her friends were getting to a point of conclusion behind that mysterious portal. "We are getting close solve this little mystery. I discover, by my recent studies, the portal has a connection between Ponygton and Equestria." Twilight said. "What is Ponygton?" Rarity asked. "Never heard of it." "Due to my recent studies. Equestria is a country in this world." Twilight answered. "I was thought that only existed Equestria but that's a lie. There so many other countries that we didn't know." "You are saying that EVERYTHING we live so far was a lie." Applejack said. "Why didn't they told us about this?" Twilight raised her hoof and answered. "This isn't Celestia fault or Luna fault or our ancestors' fault. This is world fault because we never leave Equestria. This Ponygton is a country that is located about 1750km away. So it was obvious that we never heard about it." "It's so far." Rarity said. "Should we go there and investigate this?" Twilight and the others looked at her with their eyes widened. "Even if I had the possibility to teleport, I can't teleport us that far and it's so far." Twilight said. "I need to go to Zecora's cottage and tell her about this." The other nodded and walked beside her as they leave the castle towards Zecora's cottage. In Zeocra cottage,... Shadow Night had arrived ten minutes after he received the letter. "I've found this pony near the portal, I would say that he got teleported from Washington." Zecora said. "And he has this strange necklace." she said as she grabbed the necklace. "I never saw one of this before." she finished as she let that thing slip from her hoof. "I got a bad feeling about this." Shadow Night said. "As you can see, this pony doesn't have a cutie mark." he said while he pointed towards the spot where normally would be a cutie mark. "As I said, this pony got teleported by the portal and ended up in here. I don't know his name, he passed out when I found him." Zecora explained. Shadow Night hummed and said. "Maybe he..." *KNOCK* *KNOCK* A sudden knock on her cottage door made him stop his track of words. "Did you expect any visits alongside me?" he asked. "No." Zecora answered. "It could be Twilight." Zecora trotted towards her cottage door and peeked out of it. "Yes." Zecora said. "It's us Zecora." Twilight said. "Could you open the door, please? We finally found a solution to this trouble." "Oh, Twilight. Get in, get in. I've found something that you could find unbelievable." she said as she dragged them inside of her cottage. Twilight and her friends stopped near the guest room and Zecora slowly opened the door. "It's Twilight and her friends, Shadow Night." she said. After they greeted each other Twilight spoked. "What's this pony?" she asked. "Why didn't he had a cutie mark? At this age he should have a cutie mark already" she said as she scanned the sleeping pony. "I ask the same thing Twilight." Zecora said. "I found this guy after I decided to check the portal once again." Twilight gasped and said immediately. "I found where this portal lead. It leads us to Ponygton." Zecora shook her head to the sides. "Unfortunately, I have to deny your investigations. That place isn't Ponygton, that place is called Washington." "What but that country doesn't exist in our world, right?" Twilight asked. Zecora nodded. "Yes. But THIS country exists in another dimension. A dimension called EARTH." Twilight and her friends looked at each other and gave a confused look towards Zecora. "Only Shadow and I know about this." Zecora explained. "In this dimension, the race that is compared to us... they called themselves by..." A sudden whimper made Zecora lose focus on her track of words. As they follow the track of the noise they saw the mysterious pony turn his body so now his back was what they could see. "As I was saying this race is called by..." Zecora started again but,... "NO. LEAVE ME ALONE." the mysterious pony yelled. "You can't do this they're magical... magical... they can't protect themselves... STOP." His necklace started to shine and after a bright flash, a strange creature appeared in his place. The ponies gasped and screamed. "What is this?" Twilight asked. "Get away from him we don't know what he could do." "This is what I was saying. This pony isn't a pony. That necklace is some kind of a talisman that transforms him into a pony."Zecora answered. "This is a HUMAN. They're the dominant race in EARTH." The bipedal creature started to wake up as he stroked his eyes. After some seconds the bipedal creature turned himself around so now he could see the ponies. He stroked his eyes again and screamed. "Don't hurt me." the bipedal creature. The bipedal creature started to get up from the bed and walked towards them. A sudden magical blast made him stand still. "Stay there don't move." Shadow Night said. "Stay on the bed." The bipedal creature trembled and obey, sitting on the bed. "Please listen to me. You're in danger." he said. "You've to believe me." Twilight trotted slowly towards him and scanned his body. "What are you? And who are you?" she asked.
