The Wayfaring Strangers

by BiasedAmerican


His cereal is gone :(

Alex is everything else besides "Normal". He's heavily obsessed with the Military and managed to make some friends based off of them having a unhealthy obsession of the Military history.

Covered in heavy blankets, he slept comfortably if it wasn't for his dog that took up most of the space. He woke up, sat upwards, and stretched his arms as he yawned. He stared at his very cute but very annoying dog that was curled up, taking his "tacticool blankie". He gave an annoyed face and woke her up by smothering her with hugs.

He showered and took a shower, being bombarded by shampoo bottles falling down on his head, as he was blissfully waking up by the cold water hitting his face.

He got out of the shower and got clothed. He put on a green shirt and tan cargo pants, he walked out of his room holding a black jacket as he went to eat cereal.

He grabbed his phone from his pocket and called his friend. "Hey tank! First day in Alaskan school for once. Ready for a shitty education system with only 30 minutes of sleep?" He asked him.

"Oh god I feel scared. Should I be worried?" He replied.

"Yes." Alex sternly answered. "Alrighty, I'll see you in 20 minutes. By the way, Spanish class is absolute hell." Alex jokingly added.

Tankery immediately hung up. They both were friends since 2018. Tankery was attending the same school as him. And now was the first day of the 2nd semester.

Alex put down his jacket on a chair and went to the kitchen to get his breakfast. He opened the fridge door and leaned on the fridge, looking for the milk. "So this is what my father went through, no wonder why he hasn't found it and came back." He said, aimed to no one.

He got the cereal ready and walked to the living room. He was starving and ready to eat the cereal before he ran off to go to school.

Meanwhile in Equus...

"The spell is ready my queen." Something that seemed to be a Griffon in old myths said to a Queen Chrysalis.

"Good good. Now we'll be able to get revenge on Equestria for humiliating our nations many times." She cackled. "These... Humans... They are deadly warriors you say?"

"Yes, they will be able to summon their powerful and deadly weapons, nothing that we posses." The Griffon mage replied, it intrigued Chrysalis, giving her a very devious grin. "We'll be able to bring them in a minute with all the help your hive and dragons have given us to help take down Equestria and their wretched Elements of Harmony!" The Griffon yelled with pride.

Meanwhile back on Earth...

"Yeah, tank, I just got my cereal done and I'll be there soon. Just don't die." Alex said on the phone.

"Yeah, I'll try not to. By the way, what are you eating?" Tankery asked.

"Some great, delicious, mouth watering lucky charms!-" he yelled as he tripped and fell.

He expected a big hit on his shoulder and a huge mess to clean up. As he closed his eyes, he felt wind gushing on him. The air smelled different, it felt clean. He didn't know how to react, he didn't say anything or made any sounds. But he also noticed that there were gasps that echoed, he opened his eyes to see a medieval castle with a big-

"OW FUCK SHIT BALLS FUCK" He screamed as his shoulder got dislocated on impact. He looked up and saw Griffons and what seemed to be a bug horse. He groaned and said in a tired voice, "You look vaguely familiar..."

But as he was starting to realize, he heard a familiar scream. "OH SHIIIIIIIIIEAAT" The other person who fell, landed directly on Alex, with a loud and painful pop was heard as he landed.

"WHY ME" Alex cried. "Out of all the things, my ears burn." The unknown person cried.

As the two were stacked on each other, they noticed the characters that were familiar. "Hey... Aren't you-" he was cut off.

"Yes, I am Queen Chrysalis. I have summoned you so you can help us agai-" she was cut off.

"Blah blah, your going to ask us to overthrow the sisters. Yes, I remember you now, you're that annoying whiny bitch,"

"Excuse me?" Chrysalis interrupted.

Alex continued, "So, anyways. Tankery, is that you on top of my back?"

"Wait, Soviet?? How the fuck are you here and where is 'here'?!" He frantically yelled.

"Why are you here? And did you go through a backrooms kind of fall?" He asked

"Yup, you too?" Tankery asked.

"Yeah, so anyways. Get off of me you bastard." Alex ordered

Alex was holding his excitement because he was a brony, but Tankery on the other hand, had no clue what was happening.

Alex grabbed Tankery on his shirt frantically and he exclaimed. "Dude, we're in My Little Pony."

"This is fucking retarded." He replied with a tiresome face. He would already tell how annoying it'll be, even worse if Alex was there with him.

Alex paid no mind as he was excited. They both turned around and Alex said, "Sure, we'll help you. But what weapons are we going to use?" He asked.

"You will be able to summon a weapon by thinking. Go ahead and try!" One of the Griffon mages answered.

Alex thought hard, and his clothing was replaced with a standard U.S. Army 1980s woodland camoflauge with a PASGT camo helmet, boots, and Alice webbing with the Alice pack. He squealed in excitement and a M1911 magically appeared in his hand.

"Oh ho ho, I'm liking this." He said as he looked at the gun and cocked the loading chamber.

"And... it just got worse." Tankery whispered to no one. Tankery had already put on a British WW2 era uniform and equipment, with a SMLE Mk.3 and he pulled back the loading chamber, looked in, and placed it back.

The two bipedal creatures that they were told about seemed to be too excited. "Chrysalis, I think that we may have given them too much power. Especially if we don't know the full power of their weapons." One of the mages whispered to Chrysalis.

"Nonsense! They will use it on the battlefield against Equestria. We will get our revenge on them." She said in a prideful voice. "I will go check on the Griffon king to prepare our forces. Until now, watch over them." She ordered.

Alex and Tankery covered their faces with Balaclavas with no mouth holes, but Alex had goggles that no one can see into on the outside.

As Tankery looked at Alex, Alex did the same. They nodded and waited for Chrysalis to be out of range.

As 5 minutes passed, the Mages and Changelings guards felt uneasy with the two humans staring and observing them.

"I'm just gonna, use the bathroom." A Changeling guard said as he awkwardly went out of the room.

Tankery and Alex looked at it each other and nodded. This time, Alex summoned an M16A4, as Tankery got into a Russian VDV outfit with an AK-12.

They both aimed at the creatures, they couldn't tell but the guards and mages can sense the menacing grins through their masks and armor.

"What do those spears do-" A guard approached and asked, but a deafening loud bang with a bright yellow flash occured before he could finish his sentence.

"Oh hell yeah, I'm going to love this!" Alex yelled.

"Thank God I'm not them." Tankery replied.
