Hank was falling from the middle of the blue sky into a colorful forest. Besides panic there was confusion, since he never seen colors like this before in his almost monochromatic world. He landed on some trees and, finally hit the ground. Face first of course. He survived longer falls and, the trees also slowed him down. "My head... it's killing me" Hank complained bringing a hand to his forehead. He retired it and found blood on it. He then opened his satchel and took bandages, removed his head wraps and added some bandages. Finnaly he swallowed some painkillers and put his head wraps on.

Hank heard a female voice calling out. "Hello! Hello! Is there anypony out there!" It took some time for him to process that. "-Anypony- who the hell says that" Hank thought, still trying to process it. He then discovered why it said 'anypony'. Because it was a pony. He just sat there dumbstruck watching the animal as it looked around, but then it said "I guess it was just my imagination" and then it started to walk away. Hank knew it was the time to act "Time to nut up or shut up" he said to himself.

Hank came out of behind the tree he was hiding and said "I guess you were wrong on that too".


Twilight was just near the site she saw the object land. She started to call out like if somepony was going to answer "Hello! Hello! Is there anypony out there!" No response came. "I guess it was just my imagination" she said as she started to walk away. But then she was suddenly replied by a voice that said "I guess you were wrong on that too". She stopped right in her place. That cold, dead and emotionless voice, it gave Twilight chills. She slowly turned around and was terrified with the sight. It was a tall, big and black figure with red eyes that stood there. Staring at her. Twilight was frozen, incapable of moving. The figure then said "Hello there. My..." but Twilight galloped away before it could finish the sentence. "Wait!" It screamed as she ran away from it.

Twilight knew it wanted to speak to her but she was too scared to reply. She needed someone to protect her if that thing tried to hurt her. She knew who was the right pony. Applejack. She was the strongest and bravest mare Twilight knew.


"Well...fuck" Hank thought. "That was one hell of an introduction" he said out loud with a sarcastic tone."Why do I have to appear all ninja to people, even if I know it scares them!" Hank thought, obviously being mad with himself. He let out a sigh, sat under the same tree and started to look inside his satchel. " Where the hell did Deimos put the food!" said Hank obviously failing at his task. "There you are!" he said, claiming victory. He took off the plastic foil from the sandwich and grabbed a bottle of water."Now let's just wait for them to come" Hank thought to himself.


Twilight arrived at the Sweet Apple Acres in just a couple of minutes. She immediately went with Applejack, who was doing as usual. Bucking apple trees. "Applejack! Applejack!" Twilight screamed as she approached the orange mare. "I- I- I need..." Twilight tried to talk, but she was exhausted. She then regained her breath and started again. "I need your help. I saw a strange creature in the Everfree Forest and it really scared me. It stand there with red eyes looking at me but..." she was cut by Applejack. "Whoa! jus' hold on there Twi. You're tellin' me you saw a darn scary creature in the forest and the has red eyes and you don't even consider it's a dragon? Twilight looked annoyed at Applejack. "Let me finish. But it tried to talk to me. It even tried to introduce itself! A doubt a dragon would do that." Twilight stared at Applejack for a few seconds then Applejack responded to her. "Ok Twi, I'll go with you. But if that thing gets aggressive I'll jus' buck it".

They arrived at the Everfree Forest in a couple of minutes and started to look around for the creature. The only found some stuff lying under a tree. "But it was here!" Twilight said, perplexed because it seemed to have disappeared. But then the creature descended behind them and Applejack kicked it. "Fuck. My-" It tried to say before fainting.


Hank sat there, eating a sandwich and drinking some water. Comfy as he was something interrupted. He saw the pony again. But this time there was another one. And this one had a cowboy hat. "Fuck. Me." Hank was thinking of what to do and how to act, but they looked to be heading to where he was! Hank needed to act quickly! He jumped on the treeline above. He waited there. "But it was here!" It said. He descended behind them all ninja-style and tried to start again with his introduction. He was instantly cut by the new one kicking him in the nuts. "Fuck. My-" was all he could say before passing out because of the pain.


"Applejack!" Twilight yelled at her. "What? He was going to attack us!" The orange mare defended herself. "No it wasn't! It was going to talk!" Twilight yelled to her. "Well... Mah' bad." Applejack apologized. "Well at least help me carry it. It's your fault that it's unconscious." They carried the creature in their backs and started the walk back. "Where are we putting it?" Twilight asked. "Ah' don't know Twi. Ah' think it will be the best if-" Applejack was shortly interrupted by Twilight. "I know! We can put it in your barn!". "But-" Applejack was cut again by the lavender mare. "It's your fault it's like this. You can also say I'm doing something very important and tell your family they don't enter the barn". "OK Twi. Just because I owe ya one".

Applejack and Twilight got to the farm and checked there was no one on sight. They then entered the barn and left the creature in a pile of hay. When they got outside Applejack went to find her family and Twilight re-entered the barn. When she got inside there was nothing there. "What?! How is this possible? It was there!" The thing descended from the ceiling and fell silently behind Twilight and grabbed her mouth. She helplessly tried to scream but was silenced by the beast. "If I let you go, are you gonna scream?"


"Great fucking idea. Descend all ninja-style behind them. That kick was really hard." Hank thought in his unconsciousness. When he woke up, he found himself inside a barn. Over a pile of hay. "What. The. Fuck." He heard the barn door open and instantly his ninja reflexes activated and he jumped into the ceiling. Then he saw the pony he first met. "What?! How is this possible? It was there!" He descended from behind it and grabbed her from her mouth so it couldn't scream. "If I let you go, are you gonna scream?" Hank said to it's ear.


Twilight was terrified but gestured a "no" with her head. "Good." The creature let her go. She instantly backed away. "What are you?" Twilight said. "Nice to meet you too." It said sarcastically. "Sorry. I'm Twilight Sparkle. Who are you?" The thing cleaned the dust off of what seemed to be clothes. "Well. My name's..." Suddenly it panicked. "Is the other one in here?" It whispered. "Erm... Who? Applejack? No." Twilight replied. "Very well then. My name's Hank J. Wimbleton, A.K.A. "The Death Bringer" and "The Coated Demon". I'm from the state of Nevada. I..." The creature, now named "Hank", was cut by Twilight. "Wait a second... Nevada? Death Bringer?Demon?! What is all that?" Hank then cleared his throat and continued. "Let me explain. From where I come, and I suppose it's a whole lot different place from yours, you kill, get killed or smoke and die of an odd way. I personally include myself in another group. I kill, get killed, revive and kill again." Twilight was shocked. How can something talk about killing and dying so peacefully? "Well. That's interesting. But what about friendship, love and tolerance?" Hank burst in laughter. "Seriously! I think the only two people that are friends in my world are Sanford and Deimos!" Hank slowly stopped laughing. "If you mention friendship, love or tolerance to a guy in the street he probably won't know the meaning of it and he will punch you in the face. Seriously." Hank just sat in a nearby chair he found. "Wow... I-I think it would be better if we go to my house" Twilight said. "Heh. I think you are going a little fast" Hank said. "What did you say?" Twilight asked. "Nothing" he replied.

"So how are we going to get you to my house in the middle of the town without you being seen?" Twilight asked to herself. "Let me! I have some awesome ninja skills. They will get me safely and unseen to your place." Hank said to Twilight, excited by his idea. "OK, but you have to remain hidden!" Twilight said to Hank. "Wha-? Oh! Yeah, yeah..." he said not caring about what Twilight just said.
