Xander's eyelids shut tight and his face scrunched up, the pain he was experiencing was unbearable. A taste of copper and tang filled his mouth and nostrils, god awful it was. Unable to move, he could make out voices that seemed to surround him putting him in a very awkward situation.
“So your first instinct is to buck him in the face? We don’t even know what it is, and clearly you put it in pain!” the voice said. She sounded very concerned which was quite the relief sense he was lying here paralyzed. Her voice reminded him of someone he once loved, but that didn’t last long. It’s times like love that can put the hurt on someones soul, and she did it with such a flawless grace. But Xander stayed strong through most obstacles that block his path, even if it involves someone ripping his heart out.
“Well it was being all spazzy and when he shot up off the ground real quick it scared the buck out of me!” “Be honest Twilight, if you came across some mysterious thing lying on the ground wouldn’t you take extra precautions? I mean you are an egghead after all.” Twilight? This voice just called her Twilight? That’s definitely an exotic name for someone, but what does he know. Nowadays the generation had the most uncreative, idiotic or just....wow names.
“That’s not the point Rainbow! For all we know it could be completely harmless, and I do not want to take any chances on this thing. I have never seen anything of it’s kind in equestria before. Through all the books I have read about animals this one does not spark any memory of study.”
Really wishing he could stand up right now and give these people a piece of his mind. so far heed been called an it and thing about 15 times already. Making him very nervous that they are referring to him as a creature instead of a human being. The last thing he remembered was being swallowed by darkness and free falling through literally nothing. Chills ran up his spine and a million thoughts were rushing through his head, like was someone following him and knocked him out? Did they give him a powerful drug to make him hallucinate? Because Xander was pretty sure he was at the moment. The next thought nearly made his heart stop. Were they going to kill him?
“Fluttershy, do you know what it is? I reckon ya would sense yer’ so good with animals and all.” Said a voice that had a very thick accent. Which had already grown to be hated.
“Umm....I-I’m not sure AppleJack, what I think I know is that it’s a male...” She sounded very shy, almost afraid. This put him a little at ease.
AppleJack, FlutterShy, Twilight and Rainbow? What is with these names he thought. Beginning to think if he should take back what he said about names. There is always nicknames though, but they're usually just shortened of an actual name, never once has he heard the nickname Rainbow or AppleJack or any of them for that matter.
“OH OH! MAYBE HE’S NEW HERE! OH THAT MEANS I HAD BETTER GET READY FOR A PARTY!” Squeaked an overly happy voice. “We just gotta! I’ll go get the supplies!”
“Now hold on there Pinkie Pie, we need to figure out what it is before we go waltzing through ponyville with a creature nopony has ever seen. Speaking of ever being seen, it’s fashion style is horrendous! How could anypony wear such a thing!?” Terrible fashion choice eh? He didn’t know a pair American Eagle jeans, Nike shoes, O’Neil shirt and Hollister hoodie was that bad of a choice. Hold on a second...Did whatever that was just say anypony? And PonyVille? On top of everything else, have people referring to themselves as anypony?
“Everypony stand back, I’m going to take this binding spell off of him.” Oh my god... “Alright here goes.”
“GUUUAAHHHHHH! Ahhh hah huhh huhh!” Xanders lungs were struggling to gain air. Coughing and wheezing as hard as possible trying to catch his breath, he looked up and what he saw was all but a surprise, more confused than anything else. There in front of him, were 6 colorful horses, or by their size, ponies. Each of them looked about two or two and a half feet shorter than him.
“Excuse me umm...sir? Uhh my friends and I found you lying here in the grass and when we came over to look at you, you jumped up and scared my friend Rainbow Dash who then sorta..bucked you in the face. I’m truly sorry but I think we can patch up that injury, but I need to ask you a few questions first if you don’t mind.” The purple one said.
“H-How are you talking? You are a horse!” he raised his voice which caused a few of them to take a couple steps back. “I got lost on a path, saw a tall pitch black figure, got sucked up by darkness, kicked in the face, my nose is broken, there are talking ponies in front of me! I don’t even know where I am at the moment.” “Oh my god, you can talk,” He repeated, “This isn’t normal. How are you talking?” Xander asked in the calmest tone he could.
Everyone of these ponies looked completely dumbfounded. The purple one who was standing about 7 feet away began to walk closer. “My name is Twilight Sparkle. Right now you are in land the land of Equestria. My friends and I are a bit confused just as much as you are. We were all walking through the streets of PonyVille to go get some lunch but off in the distance we heard a very unusual noise, it sounded like a siren and small cracks of explosions. When we came over you were lying on the ground twitching and mumbling inaudible words. Then when you shot up from the ground my friend Rainbow bucked you in the face.” she gave a shy grin at the last sentence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xander just stood there, mouth agape not even sure what to say. Slowly he started walking away from them mumbling to hiself that this isn’t real, he just needed to wake up.
“Hey! Where do you think you are going?” Shouted the purple one or Twilight Sparkle he should say. “You know I can’t just let you walk away from here. None of us know what you are or if you are even safe to be around.” Not the smartest decision in the world, but finally he got tired of being referred to as a creature or an it.
“You listen now and listen well, I’m about damned tired of being referred to as an “it,” I’m a human and the entire time I was on the ground I heard every word! Is that what you do in wherever the hell I am? You call each other it’s and creatures? I have a name, my name is Xander!” Not realizing how loud he was one of the ponies came flying towards him and yelled, “Hey! You don’t talk like that towards my friend, I don’t care if you are a humane or whatever but that doesn’t mean you can talk to her like that!” This pony may not have been so wise.
“You listen here pony, I don’t care and if you ever get in my face again, it will be the last thing you do.” Xander said with a very stern voice, trying to make his point as clear as possible.
“Is that so? Are you challenging me? Well come on then put em up!” A horse is challenging him to a fist to hoof fight, how cute.
*BAM* He punched her straight in her mouth. “Ahh nothing like a little payback is there? You broke mine now I break yours!” *BAM* The second hit ended it. Blood smeared on his knuckles and a pony crying on the ground with a swollen eye. He actually felt kinda bad because the thing was 2 feet shorter than him, but why should he care? She challenged him and asked for it.
Being too busy focused on the pony he had just struck down there was no awareness that 4 other ponies had been flying full speed at him with pure anger in their eyes. “Holy shit....” He started running as fast as he could, luckily to his advantage Xander seemed to outrun them by a landslide. That didn’t stop them though, he could still see them coming a few meters behind.
In front there was a large forest that looked like a perfect getaway from them, but something about it while approaching didn’t feel right. He started to feel extremely ill.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
That feeling was coming to him again, the weakness, the dizziness only this time it was worse. It felt like he really had to throw up, his stomach felt like it was clawing the insides away. Clutching his left hand on his stomach he stood there bent over towards the ground, and right when the ponies who were behind me arrived he threw up.
The substance that was coming out of him was black and looked thick, almost like oil. Sticky strings of it was running out of Xander's throat and mouth, the pain it was causing was unbearable. It started to look red as it was dripping from his tongue, it left a strong burning sensation the longer it sat in his mouth.
After only a few seconds he was pleading to the ponies behind him for help. They watched in horror and disgust. “Help me please! It hurts! Please!” Xander groaned and begged. “Please....Please..Ple-” *GUARGH!* He threw up one last time before collapsing straight to the ground.
