Everfree forest, Ruins of the pony sisters castle, throne room, day time
Michael's POV
I don't know why I'm in this situation, first I was angry, confused and betrayed. I escaped from home to see my cousin who lives in Ponyville so I thought that could be a good idea to see her, when I was on the way to Ponyville I got found by three fillies, at that time I was desperate and now I'm here, resting in the ruins of the old pony sisters castle with three passed out fillies on the floor...Why I decided to brought them here with me? I DON'T KNOW!" I thought a little angry about it.
It was raining outside, my shirt and pants were soaked so I took carefully my shirt as I try to dried it squeezing it with my hands, then I left it lying on the throne, maybe I should look for some wood and try to make fire before we get a cold, then I turn to look the fillies and at that time I noticed how the white unicorn one was waking up a little drowsy as she took a sit on the floor. She looks calm at the moment, but that was until she looks up to me...Neither of us make a sound for a minute, but when I open my mouth to talk to her, she let out a loud scream.
"AAAAAAAHHHhh! Is the monster!" scream the filly scared.
"Wait! Please calm down, I'm not a monster, I mean, well, yeah, I may look like one, but I'm not a bad one!" I exclaimed nervous trying to calm the filly.
"Eh?...Why are you screaming Sweetie-Aaaahhh!" screamed the yellow earth filly who has a pink bow that was also waking and look at to my direction, then she quickly embrace the white unicorn with her forelegs and both hug eachother as they tremble scared looking at me.
"Oh great, you two please listen, I'm not gonna-" I try to say but I was interrupted when I look the orange pegasus who was waking up too.
"Girls? Why are you shout-..." try to said the pegasus filly as she also look at me. "Mo-mo-mo-monster!" exclaimed the filly scared as she reacted the same way as the other two fillies and she quickly go and embrace the other fillys as the three were trembling scared of me.
"No...Please stop." I thought looking to the fillies while I feel the stress in me as I'm getting upset with my hands trembling.
"What are we going do?" said the yellow earth filly worried and trembling.
"Are you going to eat us?" said the white unicorn filly scared.
"Please, don't hurt us mister monster!" said the orange pegasus with teary eyes.
"STOP!..." I screamed stressed and panting silencing the trio of fillies while extending my eight wings. "I'm not gonna eat anypony! And I'm not a bad monster...I'm alone...And I just....I just wanna be with..." I try to explain myself to the fillies in front of me but I didn't even notice that I was already sobbing while tears were coming out from my eyes.
By this point I couldn't take it anymore and I drop on my knees, lowering my head and cover my face with my hands as I cry like a child. I stood like that for a while crying and sobbing while tears were streming down my cheeks, the fillies were in silent looking at me immobile, or that's what I can tell, I wasn't looking at them at that moment, but then, I feel a hoof rubbing my right leg, when look at it, I saw the white unicorn with a small smile on her face looking up at me.
"Shh, it's ok, don't cry." said the unicorn filly trying to comforting me.
"I...I...I sorry!" I exclaim as my instincts took over me and I grab the filly by under her forelegs and caught her in my embrace while I continue sobbing.
"Why I am so weak to this kind of moments? " I thought as I feel the filly's right hoof giving me soft pats on my back.
After that time when a filly who was much younger than myself have comforted me, the four of us remained there for a while as the trio were infront of me while I was still sitting on my knees as we look to each other in silent, is was an awkward moment as I feel the little wings on my head drop down, so being polite I decided to apologize to them.
"I'm very sorry for scare you all, I was surprised at that moment and I didn't think reasonably." I said to them in shame.
"Is ok, we are sorry too." replied the yellow filly smiling.
"We are sorry for saying that you were a monster, real monsters don't feel sorry and cry like you did." said the orange filly.
"Is ok..." I said feeling a little embarrassed and upset by the last part of what she said. "My name is Michael." I said introducing myself to them.
"My name is Sweetie Belle." said Sweetie Belle the white unicorn.
"I'm Scootaloo." said Scootaloo the orange pegasus smiling.
"And I'm Applebloom, we are..." said Applebloom the yellow earth pony as she smile to me then to her friends.
"The cutie marks crusaders!" exclaimed the trio happily in unison.
"Nice to meet all of you too." I replied smiling and bit excited too.
"Well...Michael, can you tell us why you brought us here?" ask Sweetie Belle.
"I'm deeply sorry about that..." I said lowering my head to them. "I was too scared when you three found me at that time, I don't know what to do when I saw that you were going to scream, so I acted careless and I end up brought you girls all here with me." I explained to them.
"We understand that, but, why here? If this the old castle ruins of the pony sisters? Why you want to come here?" asked Scootaloo to me.
"Well it was an accident, I wasn't planning to come here in the first place, I was in my way to Ponyville." I said to them.
"To Ponyville? Why?" asked Sweetie Belle curious.
"Well...I was...I escaped from home and in Ponyville, my cousin live there, so I was going to ask her if it was ok if I could live with her for a time." I told to them as my little wings on my head drop down again.
"You were running from your home? Why did you do that? Did something happen with your family?" Applebloom asked me concerned about me.
"Well...I just..." I was about to tell but I suddenly stop, I start to sense something at that moment, something was off, like if. "WATCH OUT!" I exclaimed as I jump to the trio of fillies.
At that moment I quickly extended my wings and caught the three fillies in my arms and almost instantly an object falls down at high speed to were I was sitting a moment ago, crushing the ground there as a dust curtain appeared, I was floating on the other side in the throne room with the fillies in my arms, barely we spotted a tall figure rising inside the dust curtain. Just then, this thing move an arm and dissipates with it the dust around and we can clearly took a look of this creature, it was tall with a muscular body, with a green skin, two black horns on it's head, long white hair, ugly and was carrying a bone club with it's right arm, then it look at us and let out a roar intimidating us.
"What is that thing?" asked Applebloom scared.
"I don't know..." I said scared as well while I look around for a way to escape, then I look up to the hole at the ceiling where this thing has came from. "But I'm not gonna find out." I said as I quickly flap my wings to going up and get out the castle using that hole.
"Arg! You aren't going to escape!" exclaimed the creature angry.
When I was about to exit the from of hole in the ceiling, I was surprised when I heard this strange monster talks in angry and scary adult male tone in his voice. At that time, when we were out the castle it was still raining outside, then the monster jump out the castle from the same hole to my direction, he then move his right arm holding the club and swing it to hit me, I barely evaded it as I fly down with great speed, when we were at the ground I continue flying to get out this place to the forest.
"We have to get out the Everfree and find help quick!" I thought as I fly thru the forest.
"Michael you have to hurry!" exclaimed Scootaloo who was looking back.
"Stop running and fight me!" exclaimed the angry voice of the monster that was chasing us while he was getting closer.
I don't have to look back to know what the monster was doing, I can hear the noise he iss doing with the trees, he was using them to boost his jumps, I can't change the direction were I was going or I would get lost in this forest, in fact, I was taking the path I took when I come here in the first place. It took me time while I was evading this stubborn monster, but in the end, I was able to finally get out of the Everfree just in time, but was out of ideas of what to do next and without any other choice as I heard the creature roars coming closer, I decided then to go to Ponyville and find help.
We then passed the bridge and entered in the town, at that moment I just has one place to go in my mind: The library, if I remember correctly from I was told, it was a house in a tree somewhere in this town. As I look for it around, luckily I noticed that there wasn't ponies around because of the rain, but I think the monster will call their attention soon when he enters the town. And speaking of the devil, he didn't took him too much time in entering the town, he with a sole jump he was like 5 meters of distance of me at my back as I turn to look at him.
"You aren't going to let me go right?" I thought looking around and finally I spotted the tree house when I look behind me, I smile as I was about to go there but.
"Haouken!" exclaimed the monster.
Suddenly, a dark magic ball was shot from the monster's left punch and passed a side from my right and end up impacting and destroying a fruits stall. I turn around to see the monster and he has a smirk on his face, he has failed on purpose, this is bad, I was thinking on let the fillies go to the library as I distract the monster since it seems that he only wants me, but I never expected that he can also attack from the distance, if I let them go he will use them to attack me, this is so frustrating.
"What that hay is happening here?!" exclaimed a male voice from above, when I look up to my right I saw from a house a grey stallion with a blue mane looking at us from a window of his house.
"Wait don't come-" I try to say but I was interrupted.
The green monster smiles mischievously and shout his attack again and from his left punch shots another dark magic ball at that stallion's house. Luckily, the stallion reacted just in time and hide in his house while he quickly closed his window and the same thing happened again, this time on the stallion's window, making a big hole in the house, the stallion was safe when we saw him taking a peek from the hole and quickly hide again scared while other ponies from their houses take a look of what was happening outside, just at that moment I saw the monster's evil expression again as I know what he was going to do.
"Stop! Leave them alone!" I exclaimed angry to the monster.
"Then fight me...Haouken!" said the monster mischievously, trying to provoke me, while he attacks to the ponies houses again.
He shoots succesfully four times to the houses while the trio of fillies in my arms and I watch to the monster attacking the houses. By this point I can't take it anymore and I leave the fillies on the ground as I fly with a great speed, full of anger to the monster, the fillies call my name while I was going at the monster while preparing my right arm and give him a punch on his face while he was distracted in his assault, sadly when he took my attack it seems it hadn't any effect on him as he look at me dissapointed while I was astonished by this.
"Pathetic..." said the monster while with his left arm he hit me so hard on my head that I fell slamming to the ground in front of him. "Too weak, weaklings like you deserve to disappear." said the monster as he look down to me.
I was trying to look up to the monster but I was getting dizzy, the punch that he just gave me was so strong that it even left me in this state, my vision was becoming blurry too, I'm gonna faint? If that happens then this guy will kill me? I'm gonna die? No, I have to do something, if I at least I could have a weapon with me, maybe I could defend myself properly. Before I could think in something to do, the monster lift his club over his head to crush my body with it, but suddenly, a blue body fly at hight speed and hit the monster on the belly sending him to fly away infront of me until he end up crashing to the wall of a house.
"What the?..." I said as I look around with my sight and found the blurred purple body of a pony coming to my direction, even at this state I can still recognized who was this pony. "Twi-Twilight?" I said weakly.
"Michael, are you ok? Don't worry we take-" Twilight try to say but she was suddenly interrupted.
"Arg!" exclaim the monster angry.
When I turn to see the monster I saw his blurred figure trying to fight a blue flying body that looks like pegasus, but this one was more faster as I can see how easily evades the monster attacks as he is trying to hit the pegasus with his bone club. While this was happening, Twilight gently lift my body with her magic as she was bringing me to the library, then we heard an angry roar following by a female scream, when we turn to see what happened, we saw the blue pegasus being send a way to the ground, it looks like the monster with his roar, he created a sonic wave strong enough to hit the pegasus, then we saw him looking at our direction.
"Stop there with my prey!" exclaimed the monster angrier than before.
Twilight hurry her way while carrying me with her magic as the monster starts to chase us, it doesn't take too much time for him to reach us as he lift his club with the intention to hit Twilight. at that last moment before Twilight could react, a shining pillar of light fell from the sky and caught the monster in an instant, the light glow was increasing as the seconds passed and both Twilight and I could hear the monster screaming of pain while it was trapped inside of it. When the light dissipated, it shows the body of the monster trembling with burn injuries on his body, it doesn't take much until he finally fell on the ground.
We were safe at last, or that's what I thought as I feel the pain in my body and the tiredness that I got from the chase of before were finally over taking me, before I lost my consciousness, I heard the sound of flapping wings coming from above to where Twilight and I where standing, then I took a brief peek and I saw the blurry image of a familiar white alicorn descending upon in front us.
"Oh buck me." I thought as my vision got black and finally fell unconscious.
Hudson family house, fourteen years ago, morning time
Michael's POV
I was starting to wake up that morning of sunday, with the blanket still over my head, I take it off as I took a seat on my bed then I let out a yawn while with my right hand I start rub my right eye, I was still drowsy, then I look to my clock on my table that was a side on my bed and saw that it was around the 8:30 am. At this moment I stand out my bed and put my slippers on, I walk out my bedroom wearing my blue pajamas as I go to the bathroom, after using the toilet I go to the sink to wash my face and brushing my teeth, I go back to my room to change my clothes.
Hi everyone, my name's Michael Hudson and today I'm 7 years old, that's right today is my birthday. I walked to my wardrobe and take a look at my reflection in the mirror, looking to my short black hair, blue eyes and my white skin as I smile, then I open the wardrobe to change my clothes to a red shirt and a blue shorts, then I go out my bedroom to see my parents.
When I was out of my bedroom, I go to see my parents and I found them in the kitchen, my mom was serving coffe to my dad who was sitting on his seat at the kitchen's table while reading the newspaper. My dad's name is Tony Hudson, he was wearing a brown long sleeve shirt, with his blue pants and glasses, he has short black hair and green eyes, he told me that I look like him when he was at my age. My mom, Jolie Hudson, was wearing a yellow dress with a pink apron, she has a tied brown long hair with blue eyes, she seems to have been working in the kitchen as I look how dirty was her apron.
I walked to my parents and they immediately greeted me and happily hug me. After that, my parents told me to go outside in our garden, they told me to go to the garden, that there was a surprise for me, I do what I was told and found there in the garden that everything was ready for my birthday party, the decorations, appetizers, games, a piñata and of course a cake. Everything has the theme of the teenage mutant ninja turtles, yeah that's right, my parents and I are fans of the show, in fact when I was born, they named me Michael for Michelangelo or Mikey from the show, as it was their favorite turtle.
After a few hours passed, family and friends were to coming to our house so the following hours were for celebrating my birthday, while the adults were busy talking, the kids were playing together, it was a lots of fun and it was like that for the rest of the day. When the party was over, around the 8:00pm, everyone has already retired to their respective homes as I help my parents cleaning everything, I help my mother retrieving the dishes as I carrying them to the kitchen as she wash them, while my dad was cleaning the garden outside. Then, we have our dinner and later on it was time for go to sleep, tomorrow I was going to school so I put my pajamas as both my parents come to my room and gave me their goodnights as I lied on my bed to sleep.
But, moments later when I close my eyes and fell sleep, I start to feel something warm on my right hand, I woke up when I feel it hot as I took a seat on my bed, then I saw that on the skin of my right hand was a strange tattoo of a red simbol on it that looks like a red chandelier, the most strange thing of this is that it also was glowing red. I would lie is I say that I wasn't scared of this, In fact I was terrified, I quickly try to rub off this thing of my hand, I don't know who did this or how this thing appeared but I don't want it.
The glowing was growing and covering my hand as I feel like if it was burning me under my skin, of course at this point I was in tears by the pain, but when I was about to turn to my bedroom's door and call my parents for help, my body doesn't move a bit, in fact I even stopped rubbing my hand, I try to scream but neither, my mouth doesn't move, it was like if my body was petrified. Then the red glow starts to run from my hand to all over my body covering me entirely as I closed my eyes in despair, the last thing I know was that a flash sound that I heard, just before my mind got blank.
Unknown location
Michael's POV
I don't know how much time has passed after what happened to me in my bedroom, but when I woke up I found myself in dark and strange place, it was very tight and uncomfortable too, like if I was encaged in something. Also my body feels strange, I can't even feel my arms or feet it wasn't like what happened in my bedroom when I was petrified since I can still feel my body when I try to move, maybe I'm still stunned on those parts of my body, also I feel something on my back that was pressed on the walls of this place, but I was getting too desperate and scare to think about it.
"Mom! Dad! Please! Somebody help me!" I screamed from where I was calling for my parents.
I called for my mom and dad for good amount of time but nobody comes to my help, by this point I fall into despair while tears were coming out my eyes as I cry trapped alone in that dark and tight place. Just then, I feel like something has push me from the outside, I was so confused for that, then I try look for what it was as I try to force my body in this prision and suddenly I heard a cracking sound and bits of light were entering in my prision. Happyness was taking over me, I can go out of here, then I force my body more until finally, I break my prision and I was free.
When I was outside, I look around infront of me and saw bushes, flowers and a few trees, this looks like somekind of garden, but there was one small detail, everything around me was huge, like if everything was like 5 times bigger than the normal. I was starting to get scare but then, I feel something touching my back and when I turn around to look for what has touched me, I found two big strange white things infront of me, but when I look up, I discovered that these things were actually the forelegs of a huge white unicorn with wings and that has a strange multicolor mane that moves on like if it was waving, the white unicorn was looking down at me surprised, then it lower it's head closer to me.
"What...Are you?" asked the winged unicorn with a female mature voice as she sounds confused while she looks at me.
