//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 - Awake // Story: Achievement Hunter In Equestria // by master1067 //------------------------------// A/N: This is just crazy. So many likes, favs, and comments. It is overwhelming the response to this. I am hoping that I can create a story that everyone will enjoy but I am still a novice writer so don't expect something amazing that isn't filled with mistakes. I hope you all enjoy reading this and thank you for getting me to the feature box. -------------------------------------------------------------- Gavin was the first to wake up. He began to look at his surroundings. The floors and walls were made of wood, almost as if it was carved straight from a tree. He saw shelves lined with books, probably hundreds of them. Then it hit him. This wasn't the Achievement Hunter office. Quickly he woke up his friends, much to their annoyance, but this was to crazy for them to sleep through. "Gavin what the heck is going on? Where the hell are we?" Geoff was curious to what was happening. He knew this wasn't the Achievement Hunter office straight away but he needed to stay calm so the fools around him didn't panic. "I know it may be far-fetched and probably an utterly ridiculous thought," they all watched in anticipation, "but I think we are inside a tree." They all facepalmed. "I wonder what gave that away, oh right, maybe it's the fact that this place is obviously carved from the inside of a tree." Ray chimed in, "That is the least of our concerns though. I think we should be more worried that this isn't the Achievement Hunter office," Ray walked over to the window and peered out, "and by the looks of what is outside this isn't Austin, or Earth for that matter." The rest of them proceeded to go look out the window as well. What they saw surprised them all. To their horror or delight they saw many pastel colored ponies walking around and going about their business. Some were doing shopping while some were setting up shops. Some were talking with friends while some were walking alone. Jack and Geoff backed away in horror. "My greatest fear has come true," Jack was dumbfounded, "I am in my little pony. I can't believe this is happening." "Took the words right out of my mouth," Geoff was still trying his best to be calm even though he was finding that to be a difficult task. Michael and Ray could not hold it any longer, "WE'RE IN EQUESTRIA, FUCK YEAH!" They jumped up into the air and high-fived harder than they ever have before. Through the whole conversation they never realized that a certain purple mare was watching them with the most quizzical look she had ever had. She never in her life saw such strange creatures. Maybe using the summoning spell wasn't the brightest idea but there was no use now. "You five are very strange." All of them looked at her immediately causing her to jump back in surprise. She quickly regained herself so she could inform them of what is happening. "Ahem. My name is Twilight Sparkle. Element of Magic, Personal student of princess Celestia, and the one who has summoned you all," They just stared at her, "I have summoned you because you are the greatest achievers in the universe and I need your assistance." "No," Geoff bluntly stated. "What do you mean no?" "I mean that we will not help you. We don't have time for this. We have lives. I have a family. You need to send us all back. Now." "Bu-But." "No buts. You will send us back and you will do it right now." Twilight hung her head low. As smart as she is she didn't realize that by summoning someone she could be uprooting their lives. "Okay. I'll go get the spell to send you back," Twilight walked away into the main parts of the library to find the book that will send them back, leaving the Achievement Hunters to converse. "You could have been a little nicer about it," Michael said. "She took us from our home, from our planet, from the people we love. There is no reason for us to be nice about it," swiftly the conversation ended. --------------------------------------------------------- As Twilight was bringing the spell book back upstairs to send the five back she thought about what she did. How could she have been so stupid? Why didn't she think about how she would feel if someone summoned her away from her family and friends? As smart as she was this was just terrible. She just hoped that the princess didn't find out about this. When she reached the bedroom where they all were standing she was met with stares. Jack and Geoff had stares of anger while Michael, Ray, and Gavin were looking at her with pity for what Geoff had said. "I'm sorry for doing this, I didn't real-" "Just send us back," Geoff was not in the mood for this. "Okay," Twilight began to cast the spell that would send them back. As she focused all of her energy into her horn until it grew brighter and brighter and then, nothing. The spell had died out at the last second. As if something was cancelling it from happening. "Why aren't we back yet?" Jack finally took over for Geoff. "I don't know, something is cancelling out the spell. Whatever is stopping it doesn't seem to want you to go back." Geoff could not take it anymore, "God dammit! What is wrong with you! You bring us to this god forsaken world without even thinking of what could happen, you take us away from our family and friends, and then you tell us that we can't even go back!" "I'm sorry! I just needed help! None of my friends would have been able to help me and I didn't want to bother the princess with it since she is so busy! I just- I just didn't know what to do.." Before anyone could say anything a bright light appeared in the library causing everyone to cover their eyes. When the light was gone there flying was none other than princess Celestia herself. "Twilight Sparkle!" A tone to her voice that sent chills down everyone's spine. This was not going to be good.
