Es gibt keinen Ort wie zu Hause
"What the frick ....."
Peter begins to open his eyes, feeling a strong pain on his face.
"Where am I," Peter says again, looking around, he realizes that his current location is inside a wooden carriage, with some small holes where you can see very few things for the size and the position Peter currently is.
He moves with difficulty towards the other side of the carriage, trying to look through the biggest hole. The bright day is seen, the houses on the sides have a neoclassical design. Suddenly his sight becomes dark, something that lets Peter stunned for some short seconds for the change of peaceful transition, into the one of entering a medieval castle, as this rings immediately something inside Peter’s head, a memory perhaps...
"It was all a dream......then why do I feel pain?" Peter says to himself quietly, relaxing a little more as he leans against the wall of this carriage, his body is in a current burning pain that is being covered by the fear of what the… ”frick is happening?!”
It is noteworthy that place is a mean of transport for prisoners.
But something even more weird and mysterious is the constant sound of hooves walking on a concrete sidewalk.
”Huh, I was captured by a type of emm ancient people?” he questions while trying to get into a more comfortable position.
The carriage suddenly stops as a resounding cold comes in and sends chills through Peter's back, making him feel even more alone.
That feeling goes higher just like a drug as the sound of hooves walking towards the apparent exit of the carriage. It is closed by a padlock that its style is of colonial Spain.
He tries to look at what is going on the back of the carriage, but that idea becomes null as he couldn't find any hole to look outside in that sector, changing his intentions into trying to listen to what thing is outside, or what person.
Some strange voices are heard in a singing style, speaking in a weird language with notes.
"Wait a freaking minute," Peter says louder as he tries to understand the situation in his mental battle.
That is interrupted by the sound of the padlock opening, following at the slow opening of the old wooden door.
The dim light enters the place, sun rays landing directly on Peter’s eyes.
”What in the fuck…” silence resonates as everyone outside the carriage is just staring at Peter with a frown, and ’everyone’ means those pony soldiers, the same outfit of the last soldiers, only that this time there could be at least fifty of them, well-armed with spears and sword, which reminds Peter that.....
"My gun," Peter says worriedly, trying to search for it around his body, and then followed to search it on the inside of the carriage with some few glances, realizing that it has disappeared.
"Go Lan GhaH DaH !!!" a voice shouts coming from behind of the battalions of these ponies.
"Ummmm...hey…..umm," before Peter could even try to communicate, a class of energy suddenly levitates him.
He is trying to fight anything that these ponies are doing to him, but for his new concern, he is suddenly dropped on the ground.
Suddenly two chains are levitated while being surrounded in a green aura towards him, causing an agitated reaction in his part to try to get away from these magical chains while lying on the ground.
Peter’s hands moved without any class of control from his part, as progressively, the muscles in his body simply go to sleep, leaving Peter without the control of his own body.
The bulky iron chains begin to adjust automatically, pressing the cold iron upon his hands and his arms, worsening the injury he acquired with no class of mercy or compassion.
Immediately, the astronaut begins to fight this weird energy by trying to throw kicks in the air while floating, something that is being prevented by the state of his body.
The chains also tie to his left leg, with a metal ball appearing out of nowhere at the end of the heavy chains.
The ponies then proceed to levitate with force and even with rage.
Pure pain is felt throughout his body, as he can feel the blood in his head moving from one side to the other, making him feel dizzy.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!!!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ALL!!!" Peter yells into the air as he writhed, trying with all of his forces to escape the energy surrounding him, which takes his liberty of movement off him.
The energy suddenly pushes Peter towards the gates of the castle. Entering the place, a cold and dark feeling suddenly consumes Peter in his chest.
The pain on his body can be compared with a heart-attack, it consumes every single part of Peter's body, as his fears also rise.
His injuries become worse every time that the magic makes him do an unwanted movement, being trapped in it.
Peter's body becomes dizzier, the pain mixed up with fear gives a sense of loneliness and terror in his stomach. He begins to spit blood, leaving a trace of it along the way.
The ponies in the place simply do not care for his current condition, or they could simply be ignorant of it.
They look at Peter with several frowns, as if they had fear, respect, and hate at the same time for him.
Passing through the castle's huge corridors, the light entering from the medieval windows shows themselves with the epic events of their history, making him briefly change his face to the one of curiosity.
No longer even trying to get out of the whatever is the thing where he currently is, coming from the realization that it is physically impossible to get out. Compare it to a kind of deterrence that cannot be played around.
His last hopes fall into praying to God, while tears are threatening to appear in his eyes with a kind of comprehension and fear.
The ponies lead him to a large wooden door, that after some seconds it opens with the loud sound of the wood sliding through the concrete floor, revealing stairs and stone walls with several torches which leads to a dungeon, the worst place in any medieval castle.
Peter tenses up when he is pushed again, the pain is becoming stronger and almost inhuman.
Looking around at his surroundings in the attempt of diverting his attention from the pain, he catches that these ponies are different from the ones outside of the castle, wearing a dark armour with a symbol that looks like a half-moon, everyone with spears while escorting him.
Peter finally finds the source of the force field, that being a unicorn that has a faint light on his horn.
A kind of light and colours coming from it, the same ones I might add of the energy where Peter is currently surrounded by.
Going deeper into the corridor, a wooden door is located at the end of it, with a somewhat complex and at the same time a basic engineering mechanism for prisons.
Two wooden wheels are located on each side of the door as they are also tied to some ropes that go all the way up to the ceiling, making it impossible for Peter to know how far they go or what they are for.
Some unicorns, judging by their form, are located in front of the wooden wheels.
They glance at the human and nod, immediately energy comes from their horns and begins to cover the wheels in a blue aura each one.
The wheels slowly move at a steady rate, even though something to notice is that this door leads to a real prison cell, even though the door isn't the best representation of something 'big'.
It begins to open, an annoying sound accompanying it, revealing what looks like a lion’s den at a zoo, only a little bit more spacious of what you would conventionally see.
Every single ummmm...soldier pony in the place has a face that shows concentration and alertness, something that paid off for the lessons they had, especially when the captain of the Equestrian guard was heavily injured by the creature.
They try to put him inside the room with difficulty because Peter is holding the edge of the door with all of his strength, fighting the energy that is pulling him inside.
One of the armoured ponies runs into the scene, in which he raises one of his limbs and hits Peter in the stomach, something that takes his breath away, and makes Peter take his hands off the border of the room.
From the pure logic of physics and the force of this energy, he enters with directly against one of the walls of the prison.
The sound of a bone-breaking injury and the immediate pain in his arms, all to improve the situation in a better way…..
Right? syndicalist.
He is released from the magic, falling to the ground with intensity thanks to the metal ball.
The stiffness caused by the energy disappears, letting Peter control his body again with normality, well at least the parts that aren't injured.
Oh, I almost forgot, he also can not move to other parts of this gigantic place all thanks to the metal ball preventing him from trying to run to the door, which is fiercely closed, leaving Peter alone in this prison.
The ceiling is very high, the daylight enters through windows at the top of the place, impossible for Peter to reach, maybe impossible for any human being, including the case where Peter doesn't have that ball restricting him from jumping or walking around the prison.
The cell is spacious, the perfect place to put a wild animal in every single quality, almost like the ones in a zoo.
Peter begins to applaud while wearing a tired grin on his face.
”Wow! congratulations! what an incredible presentation, inspirational and everything, hahaha........"
The sarcastic speech is transformed into an uncontrollable cry, the combination of pain, stress, fear, and insecurity that catches him on levels that he can't simply control, although the chest pain passed, his arm is still hurting to the soul, forcing him to leave it completely still.
"WHERE AM I!!!!" Peter screams again, listening to the echo on the concrete walls of the jail.
His suit is very torn, the flag of Germany on his shoulder has many scratches, removing part of it at the bottom of the imperial flag.
"Heil dir im Siegerkranz .......herrscher des Vaterlands......"
"Princesses what happened!!!" Twilight exclaims, running towards Celestia and Luna with the rest of the main 6 following her from behind.
Before their arrival, the princesses were watching with attention the weapon lying on one of the tables in the throne room.
A sentiment or a kind of wave that the alien weapon is expelling something, and it is very close to the one of chaos magic.
"Twilight," Celestia says while turning and running to meet Twilight, nuzzling her afterwards with affection.
"What happened ..." Twilight says more naturally while looking at Celestia to her eyes, even though the gun lying on the table diverted her attention towards it, "what is that?"
Luna and Celestia look at each other, being the latter who responds to the alicorn with a faint shaky voice at the, "apparently, it the weapon of the creature, “ she pauses for some seconds, battling in her mind if she should tell Twilight about the occurrence of last night.
She sighs with tiredness, “......the one which Incitatus was injured"
Several gasps are heard around the room, the mares suddenly become very worried about the news they just received.
Silence fills the room.
"It's all right....he is going to recover," Celestia says, trying to calm the mares using the most affectionate and calm voice she could offer, “he was only injured in the leg”
Rainbow Dash suddenly interrupts the conversation.
"What the hay is this supposed to be?" she asks, making everyone to change their attention towards Rainbow Dash. Luna becomes impressed by the sudden velocity that the pegasus managed to get towards the other side of the throne room.
Luna finally decides to speak about the subject, "it is the weapon that we found with the alien creature”
Rarity decides to articulate out of her curiosity and fear, as she is remarkably nervous about the main fact that a pony was already injured by the alien.
"And where ... is he right now?" Rarity inquires with a trembling voice.
Celestia hesitates a bit before responding, "we sent him to one of the dungeons in the castle," Celestia replies as she looks at Rarity with a sad face, “he is… currently, in a safe location, away from anypony that he could injure”
Twilight's ears move as she heard what Princess Celestia said, so the alien is in the castle right now, "and how is he?" Twilight asks.
Luna raises an eyebrow, her change of voice from concern to interest is something a bit radical, considering that her brother was almost killed.
"Well, they informed us that on the way to the prison the alien was spitting...blood, “ that statement from Luna makes Fluttershy’s ears to perk up, as her interest is in the health that the creature could be in that moment.
"Blood!" Fluttershy says alarmed, "It means he's still hurt ... but how?"
"Well..... it jumped through one of the castle windows, and then Luna left him unconscious again.."
Luna glances away from her sister’s gaze, as her current mental battle is between feeling pride for stopping an alien ... or hurting the alien, considering the breaking discovery for the whole history of Equus.
Rainbow Dash huffs in a way that can be translated as .... 'it is worth a damn'
"And what ... I mean, that thing," Rainbow Dash spits that word as if she was referring to a plague or something, "it hurt Incitatus, it shouldn't be like a national alert or something...I mean, come on dude! It is ... an alien, and not only that, but he brings one of his weapons, " Rainbow Dash finishes with a frown while crossing her limbs.
This leaves Celestia thinking silently, what should they do with this alien, although it is a bit rude what Rainbow Dash said, she is right in several things, like what could be done with the media, since suspicions have already been raised by the supposed meteorite that fell near Ponyville, besides, they already have confiscated equipment that none of the scientists has managed to decipher, and it has been two weeks since the alien arrived at Equus.
Celestia sighs tiredly before speaking again with a little bit more of authority, "we don't know his stability....we don't understand his language either, and he doesn't understand ours, I tried to talk to him that night... his voice, his actions, they don't look like someone who wants to hurt anypony, they just sound like someone who is simply terrified..."
Luna looks at her sister with a bit of melancholy, since in her thoughts she also wondered how they were going to get out of the crossroads they had entered with all this, what would the other nations think? they cannot make it public, especially with the decayed state of the diplomatic relations with the Griffon Empire and Stalliongrad. But something is maintaining a cheerful state on Luna, the fact that they could know about an alien, how is the planet where he came from, what are all those things he has, and how the mechanism on each one of those things work.
"Tia," Luna begins, with a calmer and more subtle tone, "I think we should visit this alien since he is out of reach from his weapon, we should check if he is hurt, “ Luna pauses for a second in a thinking manner, “we just can't afford to lose a discovery like this one"
Celestia is hesitant at first, but upon discovering what her sister was formulating in her head just by looking at her eyes, she deciphered what could be a good idea, or maybe a bad one, since they cannot lose this alien again, it is already in a very bad condition when he arrived at the castle for the first time, and now ... you just don't know.
"Is he stable?" Applejack suddenly asks, breaking her uncommon silent state, "I usually don't agree with Rainbow," she says while glancing at her friend, who responds with a glare, "but it is true ya’ know, it hurt a pony, we don’t know if it can do it with other ones, what if he escapes again."
There is one thing that doesn't feel right for Luna, having to do with the chaos magic that flows within him, as back when the alien was unconscious back in the low forest of Canterlot the princesses had to induce positive charges to the alien to be able to make simple spells on him.
"We don't know…. but I think that my sister has a point, maybe he was simply afraid and now....." Luna finishes, somewhat insecure of what she just said, since it is only to conclude in a creature that has never been studied in its psychology, And what is the maximum they know about it?
Well, it's very violent, but at the same time, it seems to have feelings … apparently...
"Twilight, I'm going to assign you and your friends some rooms for a stay in the castle, since I'm afraid that it can become one of the biggest threats that Equestria has ever confronted, " Celestia says with the rare quality of fear within her, "I'm going to give to you the Elements of Harmony until the situation with this alien is resolved, or at least it is secure, " she finished, causing a little bit of fear in the mares for the way she ordered that, more authoritative and unusual of her way of talking.
The darkest part of the castle without a doubt, Luna and Celestia descend through the stairs to the place where the alien is held, red blood is stained on the concrete ground, like a painting that ended drying.
Luna stares at the floor for some seconds before gulping with a rare sense of fear in her, it is a dystopic and creepy memory at the same time, the blood of an alien all around the castle, what is worse than that….
Arriving at the door, there are several armed guards, one could say that there is even a complete division taking care of the place, giving a higher priority to this matter.
Captain Cepheus, who was assigned only an hour ago that he will be in charge of handling the troops and guarding the creature. Their awareness rises when they see the two princesses pass in the middle of the soldiers, each one giving space for the leaders of the country, making their way towards the captain.
"Captain," Celestia begins, speaking in a voice that showed sympathy even in the situation, "how is the creature?"
Cepheus clears his throat a little, trying to eat the nerves that are threatening him from all sides.
"Well, an hour ago, he was just shouting harsh sounds, and then he just stayed in complete silence " the captain concludes, which makes Luna react immediately worried.
"Is he okay?!" Luna questions, the fact that he is silent is not a good sign in any way.
The captain responds immediately, trying to calm the princess, "he is breathing and alive if that is what you are asking, but he has not accepted any kind of food and starts saying things in his tongue that nobody can really understand" he finishes reassuring not only Luna but also Celestia who is accentuated by the alien's state.
"We're going to try to communicate with him," Celestia states with authority.
"We do not know if it is stable.... plus, how are you supposed to communicate with the that-that thing if it speaks in another tongue, " the captain replies to Celestia in a challenging way, but who can judge him, one of the basic things a soldier must do is defend his nation, and by leaving an essential part of it by permitting their leaders in a room with something from outer space is not the best idea of ‘protection.’
"Captain, it's an order," Celestia replies in her royal Canterlot voice, making the captain remain immediately get silent, not wanting to fight with the princesses.
He looks at those who handle the door mechanism and gives them a nod, which makes them after a little hesitation to start the process of opening the heavy door, the annoying sound is heard, the soldiers steel themselves for anything that could happen, pointing their spears towards the door.
Opening, the sunlight of the afternoon inside begins to enter the area coming from the inside of the cell.
The door is open, and instead of receiving an expected attack, they all see instead a body thrown away, the slow breath can be seen in the apparent area of his stomach, a symbol that he is still alive.
Celestia and Luna watch him closely for a few seconds, realizing that, seeing him like that, he didn't look scary or crazy, he looked instead like weak, fallen, and a destroyed pony with no hope, as his white suit-thing is covered in a red stain combined with dirt, more or less, and its weird red-coloured blood.
They look at each other, trying to decipher what to do first when getting close to it, continuing to nod.
Entering the place where the alien is, blood stains are also scattered on the floor of the cell.
Luna and Celestia approach him, which in a sudden move, he gets up from the position of lying on his side when he hears the hooves walking towards him.
He gets backwards with a tired and shocked face, sticking himself towards the wall as if he has been cornered by an enemy.
Neither Celestia or Luna ever saw him awake, well, excluding the time where Celestia found him in the castle, even though it was difficult to see his face for the darkness back there, and for Luna, well, that kick left him directly on dreamland.
The eyes of the three are fixed, an awkward silence fills the room, the alien is looking at the princesses with his constant face of pure despair.
Luna notices something different this time, and that being that he is hurt, noticeable by a half-open eye and purple colour around his left eye, plus several scratches and red areas on his face with the lips of the creature being covered also in the red coloured blood. His mane is disorganized, a quality of a pony that entered supreme madness as if he came directly from an asylum.
Both Luna and Celestia try to be non-threatening, but the alien is scared anyway, no matter how they tried to show kindness in their expressions.
He arms himself with courage and decides to speak first.
"Sie werden mich endlich töten, da ich denke......das wäre eine große erleichterung"
Luna and Celestia show an uncomfortable face, that being replaced when they looked at each other, neither understanding a word of what the creature said.
"Nein?" the creature asks a little more desperately for the lack of speech from both of them, "du wirst nicht reden?"
Luna was going to start talking but she is interrupted by the sudden laughter of the alien, which alerts the guards outside of the cell as they look inward.
"GERN GESCHEHEN!!!!" the alien suddenly screams with a touch of comedy in his language, madness more visible than ever, sitting on the floor with its back against the wall.
Celestia decides to speak with confidence but at the same time with a little pity, "do you have a name?"
The alien raises an eyebrow while looking at them with an amused face, as he takes a rock from the floor and throws it towards the door, making some guards prepare their weapons as if they are going to charge towards him.
Seeing how he got to attract and fool the guards he laughs again.
"Tia, I don't think we can communicate with him.." Luna whispers Celestia in a low voice.
She stares at the alien for some seconds before responding to Luna.
"Wait," Celestia begins, “is he still loaded with positive magic right?"
Luna gazes her briefly, as she turns her gaze back to the alien, who keeps laughing without stopping in any way while she analyzes and identifies the magic that is inside the alien.
"I can still feel charges," Luna replies to Celestia, in which she realizes what Celestia is planning to do.
"A language spell!" Luna says more excitedly, making Celestia and the alien flinch a little, the latter looking at her with an uncanny face.
"I could...but somepony needs to lift him while the other does the spell," Celestia answers, and if you are wondering what the two leaders of Equestria are talking about, then define it by trying to change his native language to Ponish.
"But, we can leave him without speaking his original language forever, since we don't have any kind of way to transfer his original language back to him," Celestia says while Luna is already preparing to begin the spell, leaving her still for a brief moment.
"Then... how can we communicate with him, I don't think we can make him learn our language, the way of his pronunciation, is very close to the one of a wild animal!" Luna ends a little more discouraged by her sister's previous comment, a moral dilemma what they should do without a doubt.
"Uptown Mädchen....sie hat in ihrer uptown-welt gelebt...." the alien suddenly begins to sing for no reason, moving his body in a dance while getting more comfortable, not a bad voice though….
Luna and Celestia look at him awkwardly, making Luna speak again, "I think he's going crazy, and the only way is ... to talk to him for real," she finally ends, letting Celestia think about it for a few seconds.
"Okay.." Celestia starts, making a smile appear on Luna's face, "but if something comes out-"
Celestia is interrupted by the alien's loud singing, irritating her a little bit.
".....if something goes wrong, guess who I'm going to blame," Celestia manages to tell Luna.
Luna looks at Celestia with a bored face, as Celestia just displays an amused one.
"So much for trying to discover something new, " Luna sighs silently.
"I heard you!!" Celestia tells Luna, her face changes to a frown directed towards her sister, making Celestia giggle a bit.
Ahhh sunbutt doesn’t stop right, not even in Kaiserreich where Chef Boyardee is a national hero of Italy and Papa Stalin couldn’t share OUR communism.
Celestia levitates the alien with several protection spells, who reacts with an almost blank emotion for that situation, well, if you are excluding the annoying and childish laughter coming from the alien.
Already levitated, Luna points her horn towards the mouth of the alien, concentrating silently, her horn lights and shoots dark energy getting exactly at the target, immediately causing making him spit out a cloud of smoke that whispers 'Deutsch' as it goes out of the cell by the window, getting lost in the air. Luna turns her horn off, causing Celestia to gently lower him back to earth, standing a little unbalanced.
He blinks momentarily, letting his back slip on the wall, sitting again on the floor.
"You… are you not going to kill me at last? will you continue to make me suffer creatures from hell?" the alien states, clear and loud in the Ponish language.
Luna makes a happy sound while jumping, while Celestia has a small smile on her face, but excited, some guards even look back at the place with a shocked face, mutters from behind can be heard with the conversations between the guards.
"That is a yes?" the human replies with an awkward face.
Luna is hesitant at first, but oh boy, IT ISN’T FUN!!!
"I'm Princess Luna and she is Princess Celestia, rulers of the Kingdom of Equestria, and we...ummm...we invite you to Equestria with alien happiness," Luna says excitedly, as Celestia literally just hoofpalms herself.
As soon as she talked, his mouth hanged down, his eyes widened, showing a face of shock for at least one minute before laughing again, "HOW CAN YOU FREAKING TALK!!!!"
The sudden shout startled Celestia and Luna, even making them flinch slightly.
"So tell me demons, why couldn’t I go to heaven?" the alien continues with a sarcastic tone of voice, although neither Celestia nor Luna knows what this is referring to.
"Do you have a name?" Celestia asks the alien trying to dodge the strange question he just asked.
He is a little hesitant before responding, changing his face to a more serious one.
"Peter, lady of the ponies with a horn, no no no that is not right, “ he thinks what to say for some seconds while tapping his chin, “I have it! lady of the white ponies with horns….and you must lady of the edgy ponies and depressive I suppose? just like those singers...."
"What?!” Celestia says looking weirdly at the alien.
“Oh, they are from back home…...well not back home, America more or less, “ Peter responds to Celestia with a smile, showing his teeth. The princesses eyes widened when they saw the canine teeth.
“We are the rulers of the Kingdom of Equestria, sovereign state of Equus Mr. P..et..er," Celestia says with confusion and a little annoyance, but who blames her? besides pronouncing the alien's name terrible.
"Ummmm ya' know, you could be the Kaiser of my great Kaiserreich, but you gotta call me COMMANDER, commander P-E-T-E-R, learn to spell things right miss," Peter finishes jokingly, but the disrespect touches the nerves of both Celestia and Luna.
"I didn't think aliens would be…..like that," Luna whispers to Celestia.
"Listen, we can see that you are confused-" Celestia is interrupted again by the alien who now has a smile of pure sarcasm planted on his face.
"Of course I do! I mean, why did they send me to hell when I died? besides, look, I'm not an interior designer but this place needs some arrangements for sure," the alien finishes, looking around the place.
"To die?" Luna asks, getting a little closer to the alien, who doesn't care a bit, as if he is denying everything.
"Of course I must be dead...I mean, I am talking to mythological creatures that do not look in any way of what I consider a normal pony, “ he stops briefly before continuing, “I mean, you are talking to me…..hahaha! and a quick question," the alien says approaching Luna while crawling on the floor, "where does Satan have Sébastien Faure and the syndicalists? just a silly question but-"
The alien is interrupted by Luna, watching him with a frown, "thou are not dead commander"
The little laugh Peter is suddenly extinguished by Luna's words, as a frown begins to slowly appear on his face, "what are you talking about.."
"We found... a box...of metal that we assume is a class of….ummm ship, also, there was also a flag on the place," Luna says, as she suddenly brings the flag her magic, causing Peter to throw himself on the ground, out of fear, going back towards the wall again.
"What...what the fuck are you talking about…." a silence reigns in place after the appearance of the German imperial flag, floating thanks to the magic of Luna towards the alien, he takes it quickly with fear.
Peter looks at the flag in silence, thousands of images running in his mind, holding it in a kind of sadness that cannot be described by a simple word. Suddenly, Luna makes something else to float towards him, smaller this time, a piece of black metal, which forms a figure.
Peter grabs it in the same way with his non-fractured arm, his fist clenched, feeling the cold metal in the centre of his fist, opening it, he manages to see the Iron Cross, given back on Earth.
He begins to breathe rapidly, his heart beating at a thousand per hour, "this is not real...THIS CANNOT BE SIMPLY FUCKING REAL....it is not !!!! IT IS NOT !!!!!" Peter screams, moving his fractured arm and knocking it back furiously, making the wound worse by listening and feeling how his bone is buried in the flesh, giving an extra cry of pain.
"You are injured!!!!" Luna shouts approaching the alien again, which causes him to shrink back from fear.
"DON'T GET CLOSE...YOU-YOU THING THAT THE FRICK KNOWS WHAT ARE YOU!!!" Peter shouts with all his might, making Luna and Celestia flinch for the sudden exclamation, so much so that the guards begin to walk into the cell.
"Listen, I know you are feeling confused but, " Celestia is interrupted again by the alien, who is hyperventilating, losing almost all of his air.
"Freiheit.....everything was true....I'M TRAPPED ON ANOTHER PLANET!!!!" Peter shouts with even more strength, making both Celestia and Luna flinch again, a frown on his face showing anger and rage.
The alien stands up and tries to run towards the door, but Celestia forces him to sit down again.
Concentrating her magic on his body, she fires it directly on his chest, which causes Peter to throw a cry of pain again, only this time three times louder, so much that some guards enter the place running, but were stopped by Luna who simply looked at them with a frown, which means nothing of their incumbency.
After the moment of pain passed down, Celestia breathes heavily for the amount of magical exhaustion she just released, it is almost impossible to control the alien.
Peter begins to move the arm that he had fractured freely, watching it carefully, the pain completely dissipated from it.
"What the hell…...some kind of black magic, " Peter says out loud, looking at Celestia with an astonished face.
Celestia sigs with peace since the alien stopped screaming or behaving like a crazy pony, although the face of concern is still visible on his features.
“Who the hell are you, “ Peter says, slowly standing up again, looking at the alicorns with a frown, trying to get information about these mysterious creatures in a more civilized way.
"Thee didn't hath heard anything of what we just hath said to you?!" Luna replies while looking at the alien with an exasperated face, her nerves are not keeping up with the situation.
Celestia tries to get close to the alien, but he reacts by slowly backing up, trying to get as far from these ponies with a frown, looking at them while holding the German flag in his left hand, and the iron cross in his right, both of his fists clenched.
"No.... how the fuck could have I heard you, " Peter says while pointing at Luna, looking at her with an angry frown.
Celestia groans, raising her view with comprehensive eyes, "we..." she stops for a second when the alien looks at her with a trace of fear, even though, he motioned her to continue by moving his fist, "I am Princess Celestia and she is Princess Luna, rulers of the Kingdom of Equestria, sovereign nation of Equus."
Peter gulps, his eyes fixated on the pink ones of Celestia, as his face begins to soften slowly, "Equus?" he asks, "that must be the name of..."
"This p-planet, commander, at least the one we gave it, " Luna says softly while catching up with her sister, standing by the side of her.
Peter's eyes widen in a sudden realization of something, "how the hell do you know that, who told you the thing of commander?"
Luna looks at him again awkwardly before responding again, "thee did! liketh five minutes ago!"
Peter tilts his head slightly, "I don't recall having that conversation miss Luna-"
"Princess Luna, " she snaps back, Celestia looks at her sister with a shocked face.
Peter just stares at her before continuing, "Princess Luna, I don't remember having a conversation with you about that exactly, " Peter glances at Celestia momentarily, "neither with her"
"Your name is Peter right?" Celestia says, stepping closer towards the human, this time he reacts by freezing there at the sudden mention of his name, long time since he has listened to that.
"Right...." he gives a step of faith and begins to get close to Celestia, something that she was not expecting that was going to come out from the alien.
Gradually, he begins to touch Celestia on her face, trying to feel the reality that he is currently living on, even though, Celestia winces slightly, but not trying to scare away the alien, as for the reaction of Luna is just staring at the scene, her mouth wide open in shock.
"You, feel very real, " Peter says shocked, giving a large step back after finishing confirming his doubts, "so princesses, right? your parents must have balls of steel by sending their daughters to talk with me, a fucking piece of crap that fell from space apparently, at least for you."
"Parents?" Luna says out loud, looking at Celestia, trying to find an answer of what he just said, "they didn't send us, we came here by our own, and there are no such things as king or queen, " she finishes shakily, trying to comprehend what the buck he just said.
Peter looks at them with a confused face, before changing to the one of realization, "Ohhhhh right, you are the rulers, so I supposed that you must be both the queens of this place suppose, " he shows a more secure and a slightly amused face.
“What? no that is our royal name!”
Peter raises an eyebrow in confusion, “so... princess is the royal name of both of you”
He begins to walk around both of them with his arms on his back, trying to decipher something about the ponies. Celestia is just following his face, preparing for any unexpected movement that the alien could make, Luna imitating her sister.
“You don’t look like leaders, you don’t even look like....um real ponies, so tell me, what are you?” Peter says while stopping, staring directly, looking at Celestia’s eyes.
Celestia jerks a little bit, a frown slowly appears on her face at his comment, “we are ponies, Commander Peter-“
“Bismarck, like the chancellor, “ he interrupts Celestia with a small smile on his face.
Celestia remains silent before continuing with her previous speech, “Commander Bismarck, we are obviously ponies, even though, how do you even know that?”
Peter responds firstly with a confused face before talking again, “know what?”
“That we are ponies” she retorts with distrust on her voice.
Peter gives a step forward, a frown on his face, as he raises his hand and points the at the ceiling, “back in my home, there are real ponies, you know-“
Luna interrupts Peter, who steps forward and begins to get close to the alien with a frown.
“Tell us, what really are you, a challenging hiding in the body of an ape maybe?” Luna says defiantly, looking at the human with a lot of distrust, something that he notices, making him flinch.
“I don’t fucking know what a challenging is, but for your information princess, I am what they call human, Homo sapiens if you want to talk on scientific terms, something that you might not know blue, “ Peter responds, giving one step towards her with a frown of his own, a tone that is as defiant as the one the Luna used, obviously provoking him.
“What thee just said!” Luna exclaims a bit, startling Celestia who is looking at their discussion with an awkward face, as for Peter....
“You think that you can fucking raise your voice with me!!” Peter responds with the same coin, putting more wood on the fire called rage.
Before Luna could say something else, Celestia quickly intervenes in their discussion, teleporting in the middle of the two.
“Let’s be civilized here!!” Celestia exclaims, looking with a frown to both Luna and the human.
The human sniffs, searching for something in one of his suit’s pockets as he walked back to the wall.
A small red box with the name of Marlboro printed on it. He opens the Marlboro box, taking a cigarette and putting it on his mouth as he takes with his other hand a silver lighter, lighting the cigarette.
“This shit still works, “ Peter mutters while he looked at the lighter on his hand while shrugging.
Celestia’s curiosity turns up when she sees the small device and the stick on his mouth leaving a smoke trace, even though, she decides to go directly to the point once again.
"I believe that we started with the wrong hoof, so let me ask to you our questions first, " Celestia finishes with a small frown.
Peter remains quiet for some seconds, before shrugging and smoking the cigarette.
A smirk appears on Celestia's muzzle, beginning to walk close to the human, leaving her sister behind, who is still looking at the alien with uncertainty and rage at the same time.
"So, from where do you come from, hooman"
Peter gives her an amused look, "it is human, not hooman, " he smokes and exhales, right at the face of Celestia, leaving her dizzy for some short seconds, "and answering your previous question princess, I suppose that I come from the third planet of the Solar System, Earth"
Celestia quickly recovers from the last actions of the human, trying to process what he just said to her. Before she could speak again, decides to leave her appreciated opinion.
"That flag, " she motions to the black, white and red flag that is currently on the knees of the human, "from what country does it comes from...... from what country thee come from human"
Peter smirks, Luna's teal eyes met with Peter's deep marine blue ones.
"The German Empire your highness, sovereign nation of my planet, and apparently, " he looks around the cell slowly before looking Luna again, "I guess that I am the only representative of it while being on this place, that no offence.... but I still believe that this isn't real"
Luna gives a bored face, as her signs or rage are quickly changed to the ones of tiredness with exasperation, "why can't you believe that this is real?"
Peter smokes again, exhaling the large smoke cloud directly to Luna's face, not like with Celestia that was kinda unintentional but with amusement this time.
"Unlike many people that may be in this cursed situation, " he glances at Celestia while Luna coughs thanks to him, "it is not so easy to believe that I am currently with talking animals in another planet, maybe another person, but not me"
He chuckles, getting close to Celestia again, "if someone can give me one real- FUCK!!!!"
Celestia pinches him with electricity, the human immediately responds by saying nonsenses.
Maybe this was a bad idea
"WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT, that hurt!" he says while trying to make a tragic face, "why are you doing this to me?"
"Why-why, " Celestia sighs, "it is so hard to talk with anyone in your species?"
He stops flopping on the floor, as he raises his view again to look at Celestia, standing up with the cigarette still on his mouth plus a small grin planted on it.
"Let me think...." he taps his chin, "yes"
