//------------------------------// // The Return // Story: A Whole New World // by Van50608 //------------------------------// Chapter 44 The Return  POV Grant  "Ok, I need to figure out a way to get back to my friends." I thought worriedly. " I may feel completely homosexual but I really miss Ponyville, and my friends, and the main six... Espeacially Twilight.. (Even if the bitch shoved me through 7 walls and killed me, maybe I can get some guilt sex.)  Anyways, what was Van's friend's name that went to ponyville too.. Verty... Vernon... Vial... Shit I'll remember later. I'll just look at van's followers on fimfiction. OH YEAH VESPI! And here in his story it says in the woods there is a secret scientist lab under some leaves that sends you to the world of ponies. Wait... What woods?? Where do I go to get to these woods?? Uhg... Well I Guess I'll start by buying a bus ticket to New Jersey.  Ill take my acoustic guitar just in case I get bored. Regardless This will be a serious pain in the ass.  POV Van "Am i the only one who thinks the Everfree forest is suuuuuper creepy? " Pinkie said scared but still pepily.  "Uhg Luna, why did we have to bring Pinkie Pie with us?" Cory complained . " She is the only one who knows the whereabouts of Zecora's hut since she was there recently with the other five." Luna responded calmly.  "Why couldn't we get one of the other five though?I mean twilight goes to Zecora's to get her tea, why couldn't she lead us there? " Graham added, obviously annoyed.  "Because she is back at the library trying to find a way to bring grant back if Zecora can't. You can tell that pony is really dedicated to get Grant back." Luna explained.  "What about Applejack or  rainbow dash?At least they could get us there faster and keep a good pace, not stopping to laugh at everything." Cory said in his non existent inside voice.  " Applejack is Busy bucking Zap Apples and  Fluttershy is on weather duty today. " Luna explained again, now getting slightly annoyed. "Rarity or Fluttershy?" Elliott said, getting desperate.  You could see the vein bulging out of Luna's forehead when she politely explained, " Those two wouldn't step foot anywhere near this forest. The fact they were in before still amazes me. Now since you are out of ponies in the six I suggest you stop complaining and let Pinkie Pie guide us."  "Aw c'mon guys this will be super crazy mega fun! Don't worry! I'll get us there faster than you can sing a song about walking in the woods. Hey that reminds me of a song I know! And this is how it goes! Ooohh....." Pinkie Pie babbled on before being cut off by Jacob saying  "Is that Zecora's shack over there?" We all proceed to gallop quickly over to the witch zebra's shack. I was the first to say something to Zecora about Grant.  "Zecora we have a question for you involving magic or potions." I said firmly.  "of course child, what do you wanna know? I will try to let the answer show." she said back cheerfully.  "We want to know if you can bring back a dead pony.. Or in our case a human pony." I said somewhat confusing myself.  "her cheer vanished and she dashed to look through her books, while rushing through them she asked hurriedly "so, one of your friends is gone? Whatever had gone so wrong ?"  "Twilight magicked his ass through seven walls" Jacob said with a slight laugh.  This seemed to stop her for a moment but she continued to search for a spell before yelling "HERE IT IS!" and started to scramble around getting ingredients.  "Um... Here what is Zecora?" I asked somewhat confused. "it's a stone with many points jutting out, and it is powerful no doubt. It makes any dead pony very alive . You may know it as a "Max Revive". "Damn why didn't I think of that?!" Jacob said with a hard facehoof. "  "Yes yes of course." Zecora said proudly " it can not be bought in stores, and barely in nature any more. So getting one is hard alone. But I found out how to make one in my home" For some reason this shocked the others, especially Jacob and Pinkie Pie.  " But there are some side effects of making it at here.. Some of which might cause some fear." Zecora added in a lower voice.  That part got my attention too and I asked "what kind of side effects are we talking about here?" "Well ... If all goes well  he will still be changed . Even his cutie mark will be rearranged.. He will look more evil and dark but his personality will be the same as when start" She said some what optimistically.  "But if anything goes wrong... He will be evil his whole pony life long ."  "Not much of a change if you ask me." Cory laughed slightly before I punched his arm.  At that moment Twilight popped in and yelled "I FOUND A WAY TO GET GRANT BACK! IT'S A MA.." "max revive we know." the rest of us said in unison. " Oh... So I guess Zecora has explained its dark to remake it and all the side effects..." she said more quietly.  "Yes Twilight, now we just need to know if they still want to proceed.I say Van decides since he's in lead." Zecora said, making me feel like I'm the one deciding to pull the plug or not.  "Well... I say we go ahead and do it. We all want grant back, and I have faith in Zecora to get the max revive right. " I said, finally making the decision. "All right, well I need some supplies. First I nee.." Then Twilight interrupted her and said " 1 death stone, 1 Ursa fang, 2 para sprite wings, and 1 hair from a manticore. Got it all here." We all just stared at her.  Before Zecora asked quietly "Where did you find all those supplies..? They aren't so easy to find.. " Twilight just smiled and said "I personally picked them up on my way here. I knew where to get the death stone from a book I read on them and Fluttershy told me where to find the animals and that was the easy part. The rest is history. " She then just smiled happily and we took a step back, in respect and in fear.  "Well thank you very much  dear, getting those would take me years." then she started ingraving and boiling and soldering and a bunch of other weird shit until an hour later it was finally ready. It looked just like a normal max revive but it was black and red.  "Ok. Well now that we have the revive, we need grants body here.  Twilight, go pick up Grants body and teleport it back here. " I ordered. "Right." She said and nodded her head and then zapped out then a few second later zapped back with Grant on her back. She then laid Grant on the ground and then stepped back, and let Zecora stand by him with the Max Revive.  " Are you sure you want him here? The side effects can still be clear." She warned. But we all nodded so she set the stone on his chest, right when it touched there was a large beam of light, but after a few moments the light turned to fire. But within the fire you could see a pony figure standing screaming "Fuck man I burning! And naked!."  We all rushed to the sink to get water to put the poor guy out but Zecora warned that if we put out the fire it could kill him. So we had to wait for about a minute until the fire started to go down and we started to walk towards our friends before Zecora said cautiously  "Stay back children, stay away. We don't know if he has changed." The colt that came from the flame was Definitely not the Grant I  know. This Earth pony was much darker brown, almost black. And speaking of black he had black streaks in his hair, which is now much longer, and at the tips of his tail, even the tips on his hooves were black. His ears were very pointed, and even his cutie mark changed as Zecora predicted. He stepped forward and said quietly, "Guys... Is it really you...?" He took a step forward and said with a huge smile " So you fuckers actually found a way to bring me back." By then me and the other guys nodded and agreed it was grant so Cory took the opportunity to say "Hey dumbs shit ponies don't wear clothes!"  while The others were suffocating Grant with tons of questions. "What does it feel like to die?" Graham asked. " Where did you wake up?" Michael asked. "Is the FBI looking for us since we are gone??" Elliott asked. I got between them and grant and said,  " We can ask all the questions you want on the way home, as of now grant has other business to attend to. " Then I nodded at twilight and she pounced on Grant, kissing him and pretty much scaring the shit out of him and knocking them both onto the floor. But then he started kissing back. Then Twilight whispered in his ear, "I love you too" but before he could say anything back he noticed everypony was staring at him, so he stood up   embarrassed and said.  "*cough* yes well.. Erm.. It's really great to be back guys, thank you for trying so hard to get me back. I really did miss you assholes, to be honest I was walking through the forest at the outskirts of town trying to find the hidden scientist that sent Vespi's here. I must have walked 50 miles after that damn bus stop, because i somehow ended up in Snoki's apartment and honestly I just want to go to my bed and lay down for a day or two, because she was a handful.  Hell even the maid was a Guido!." We all nod and start to walk home, Grant explained how it feels like falling asleep when you die, and how no time has passed and he woke up in his own bed somehow. By the time all this was explained we were home, then Grant headed straight for his room, but on his way there he stopped when he saw the mirror on the bathroom door and yelled, " Holy shit dude I got a new ass tat!" he had a black guitar pick shape with a guitar made of fire in the middle, not too shabby Well after I dragged him from staring at himself, I sent his tired ass to his room. But as soon as the door shut I heard a little teleport pop, then Twilight's voice in his room, then the door lock. I have a feeling he wouldn't be getting much sleep tonight.  After we all made the assumption that Grant was having his chicken choked via telekinesis. I made the remaining bros come to make an announcement. I had them all lean in close and said "Dudes I'm about to pull some major shit here, because I think about the time to do this. I'm going to propose to Luna.
