//------------------------------// // Prologue: Not the Good Part // Story: Around Equestria in 80 Days // by Kuroyami Fukaikuro //------------------------------// Around Equestria with the Spirit of Chaos By: Kuroyami Fukaikuro Author's Note: Hello, I'm back. If you haven't read the prequel, Haygas Chaos, stop reading this now and read that first, because it explains a lot of backstory. This time, I go back to Equestria. For Summer. Keep in mind, this fic is on a completely different timeline than real life. As most fics are. Why are you still reading this? The fic is right there. Down below. It's right there. Come on, is this really that interesting? THE FIC IS RIGHT THERE! DOWN THERE! READ IT! PS. Bear with all the Non-Equestrian interaction, we'll go there eventually. By the end of this chapter. Yeah, by then. Woo hoo. Several Months after the events of Haygas Chaos I sat in my bed, holding a sheet of paper over my head. No, it wasn't my homework this time. Who the fuck does their homework over summer vacation? No, this time, the sheet of paper contained my doom. It was an invitation to the V.I.P. After-Party of the Summer Sun Celebration, this year being held in Appleoosa. The invitation named some other V.I.P.'s such as Derpy (who knew?), the Cakes, Shining Armor and Cadence, the Elements of Harmony... The Elements of Harmony... Twilight... The last time I saw her, she confessed her love to me, and I ran like a coward... How was I supposed to see her now? A knock on my door. I opened it. This time, it was not my father, but my childhood friend, Alexandra. She was wearing dark blue jeans, black Converse sneakers, a dark red shirt, and a black hoodie. On her left wrist, she wore a watch that I got for her tenth birthday. She also had on fingerless gloves, black with red Heartless (if you don't get this reference you live a sorry life) symbols on the back of her hand. Her hair was cut to her shoulders, her black hair tinged with dark red highlights at the ends. Her bright green eyes narrowed upon seeing me in my pajamas, striped boxers and a t-shirt. "What the hell have you been doing?" "Why do you care?" "Johnny called you out." "Oh God, again?" "Yeah. I'm starting to think he might be a masochist." "That's a disturbing thought. But couldn't you have called? Speaking of which, how did you get in my house? My family's in Italy for the summer." "Thomas did call, but no one answered. And your phone was off. So I had to come get you. And I picked your lock. It's really fucking easy. You should know, you taught me how to do it." "Yes, I did. Alright, wait outside. I've gotta change." "Got it." She left, and I changed into some day clothes. I put on some jeans, a white long sleeved shirt, and my own watch, which I put on my right wrist. I also put on my custom made UFC style gloves, which were solid black with red dots at the knuckle parts. I opened the door and walked down the stairs. I heard a sound in the kitchen. "I thought I told you to wait outside." "I didn't eat breakfast." "That's your own fault." I pulled on my sneakers and walked outside. Alexandra walked out a couple seconds later, carrying a Nutella sandwich. "You just have to eat my Nutella, don't you." "Yeah. How else am I gonna get any?" "Just 'cause your family's in Mexico for the summer, doesn't give you the right to starve and then eat my food. You live down the street from a grocery store, just buy some food there." "I will, I will..." "I don't believe you. Look, as soon as this fight is done, we're going to the grocery store. I'll pay if you pay me back later." "Fine, whatever. Let's just hurry up already." I locked the doors to my house and got on my motercycle. Alexandra got on behind me. "How did you get here in the first place?" "Took the bus." "Huh. Well, where is it?" "That abandoned factory. He's brought his little 'gang' and some airsoft guns." "Alright. Put on your helmet. I'm not getting arrested for driving while being a minor because a cop noticed you being unsafe." "It's on." I started the motorcycle. Did I forget to mention, I turned 16 between Haygas Chaos and this? I did? Well, now you know. We rode to the abandoned factory. It shut down when people realized that it was a bad idea to use chemicals to fireproof various fabrics. It was scheduled to be demolished, but no one ever came to do it. I got off the motorcycle along with her. We walked up to the door and entered. Johnny was there, along with a group of his 'gang'. Thomas was also there. Us three, Alexandra, Thomas, and I all ran our own gangs, but Alexandra and Thomas looked up to me because I taught them everything. How to fight, how to fight dirty, picking locks, how to stalk people unnoticed, etc. I nonchalantly looked at Johnny. "This is all you brought? Haven't you been doing this long enough to know to bring more?" "We have guns this time." "Airsoft guns." "Shut up!" He raised his guns and his men did the same. "OPEN FIRE!" We jumped behind the cover of various old production lines as a wave of plastic bb's roared over our heads. We waited for a few minutes, but the roar of gunfire never ceased. Then Alexandra spoke. "Would you remind me WHY we're hiding from airsoft guns?" "Because even if it won't kill us, it'll hurt like hell?" Thomas said. "Actually, she has a point." I said. I grabbed a piece of meta and held it in front of me as I stood up. The plastic bb's ricocheted off of it, and struck some people in they eyes, based on the screams. "AAAGH MY EYE!" Yeah. I calmly walked forwards as the bb's continued to ricochet. Then they stopped firing after a final scream. I poked my head around the metal sheet. Johnny was the only one left. He threw his gun down and picked up a metal pipe, pointing it at me. "You know what? I've had just about enough of you." He charged me in a very stupid, obvious manner. He swung the pipe down and I sidestepped it, grabbing the back of his collar in the process. I threw im over my back and he faceplanted on the floor. He tried to raise his head, but my foot prevented that. I heard a crack. His nose was broken. "Listen to me. I'll let you go. But if you pull something like this one more time, I'm going to break your fingers." He got up, and left. His men got up and left with him, all of them groaning. I turned to my friends. "Well, that's the end of that." "But I didn't get to hit anyone..." they both said. "You wanna fight me?" They turned to each other. "Not in a million years." "That's what I thought. We're done here." Alexandra and I got on my motorcycle, while Thomas got on his. Wait a minute. "Thomas, you had a motorcycle and didn't let Alexandra use it?" "She's not 16 yet!" "You have stolen from multiple stores. And I don't even mean merchandise, I mean from the register. What do you care about the law?" "It's my bike, man! I can't let the cops take it!" "Whatever. See ya, man." We went our seperate ways. I brought Alexandra to the grocery store and got her some food. I was going to drop her off at her house, but she objected. "Yo, can I come in? It's friday anyways." "Sure, why not." I opened the door and walked into Chaos. "Discord, what are you doing in my house?" He was in human form, wearing the same outfit I described him in in Haygas Chaos. Looking like a finely dressed hobo. Alexandra just stood, staring, with her mouth open, completely dumbstruck. "I came to make sure you didn't skip the Summer Sun Celebration." "Fuck. I was planning on doing just that." "Maybe, instead of staying at your house, you should have gone to Italy with your family?" "Shut up, they left before I was notified. Maybe, you did that on purpose?" Discord looked away suspiciously. "Nooo, that wasn't it at ALL." I punched him in the face. He flew back into the house and landed on the floor. "What was that for?" "Lying. Now, if I'm being forced, let's go. I'd rather not 'wake up' in Equestria." We began to walk towards the unused portal in my room. "Hey wait!" Alexandra called. I turned around. "Yes?" "You-You're just gonna leave?" "Yes." "Then I'm going with you! I can't believe you're going on some adventure without me!" "It's in a land of ponies. And friendship. And there are prerequisites to joining." Discord turned to me. "Actually, friends of people returning can come along, if the person returning allows it." "Really? Okay then. That's convenient." "Indeed." I turned to Alexandra. "Well, if you want to come, that's fine with me. I gotta warn you though, the first time through the portal hurts a lot." I grabbed my katana and handed Alexandra a spear, her weapon of choice. She accepted it without question. We stepped through, and entered the Limbo between universes. We floated towards another portal. "How does this hurt?" Alexandra asked. "You'll see." We passed through. Alexandra screamed. Equestria The Outskirts of Appleoosa Alexandra was rolling on the ground, writhing in pain. Discord and I dusted ourselves off. "Why," She shakily asked, "why aren't you guys freaking out?" "Because," A familiar voice answerd from behind me, "they've come through the portal once before." I looked behind me, and there she was. "Hello, Twilight." End of Prologue A/N: I told you we'd get to Equestria by the end of the Chapter! Please review/comment/whatever.
