//------------------------------// // A new start // Story: Batman: Mare in the Dark // by andmos //------------------------------// A man stood in a large balcony in the opposite direction of the main entrance. The men were in purple suit and green slipper. The make-up he was wearing was just like cards of Jokers. Actually, his name was The Joker. He had some real name before he got to the asylum. However, the Joker had forgotten his name, and only a few that still remembered the name was only cops. The building itself come from the late 19th. It was a culture meme, and was glories to see in a late moon light. The building has a sense of mystical air that could wipe a man’s mouth to a gap. It was a dinosaur museum and it was big. The museum had many rooms that had fact about the life before the humans, and had some outdoors to the garden that surrounded the whole building. The building was identical to do a robbery and to defend the building for possible robbers. However, thanks for an error to the main alarm, The Joker and some tugs has taken over the big museum easily and that is without killing one guard. Behind the Joker was a thing under a carpet. It was bit larger than a man and have a much wider form. The carpet hide the thing so well that even an ant could not see the construction. The Joker was angry. The Batman showed up, clears all the rooms except for the last room, which the Joker was. However, even that the Joker had one final plain. He was gone to use the construction against the evil Batman. He had not tested it before because the construction was too sensitive for that. The door slammed inn and the Joker knows that he was not alone now. “Batman, even when I don’t kill, you had to be the big guy and tiring to stop me” the Joker said it with a big angry voice. “Even if you don’t kill, I had to stop you. You are a danger to the environment and to yourself” the voice of Batman had a bit truth with in, and said it with a sad lock in the face. Batman was not happy finely to put a stop the Joker. He was not glad to finely sett the Joker to the asylum ether. Always when the two nemeses are met Batman sow a confused man with a bad look. “Well, shall we begin? I had a meeting with the asylum soon and won’t be late” the Joker laughs high in the sky and some tugs was surrounding Batman in different direction. In the meantime, in the fight, Joker taken the carpet off from the construction and starts it up. If he had calculate right, the machine should be activated when someone past it. After the machine was online, Batman step from the fight and in vision for the Joker. “I’m not done yet,” said the Joker with an angry voice that could hear until the next room. The purple dressed man pushed a small devise and the room and filled the room with light. Batman hiding behind his cape, but even then the light filled his eyes so he could not see a thing. The sound was sow noisy that his ears could not hear. Joker was entire prepared for the explosion. He was in an angle that did not hurt him. The explosion only meant to be unconscious Batman, not kill him. In addition, it worked. Two tugs took Batman with a sense of fair in the mind. They brought him to the machine and Joker lifted the head to Batman but did not throw the black mask of the face. He either whispers evil in the ears to Batman. “Don’t worry about Gotham. It will be in good hands by me” and with an evil laugh he kick the ass in Batman and sent him in the machinery. “Thanks for that tea, Zecora. It’s nice by you to pick up the flowers” A purple unicorn with black purple mane with light purple stripe and purple stripe talking with a zebra. The unicorn’s name was Twilight Sparkle and she was out to have some of she is favourite tea plants by the zebra. The zebra’s name was Zecora and she lives in a wooden house in a danger dark forest outside of a town named Ponyville. It was a peaceful little town with candy-colour equines. It was two years and a half that Twilight moved there to study the magic of friendship. The magic of friendship is the most powerful magic after love and Twilight has written several suspects in the manors. She was a bookworm by all meanings and had the ability to lead. In her flanks were there five small sparkles around a one big sparkle. “You are always welcome here, let’s hope no monster is near” Zecora has always spoken in rhythm, as far Twilight knows her. The zebra was good to make herbal medicine and potion that fixes the bad stuff and increases the good. She known to all for a mystery local until a recurred mission went wrong and some plants called the poison Joke, curse Twilight and her five best friends to the ridicules. Twilight remember that day to well. That day, she teaches too not judge the book in the colour. On the other hand, pony for that sake. “Thank you, Zecora. See you in the next week,” Twilight closed the door behind her and followed the trail on the road, out to the forest. She took her time to walk and enjoy the forest mystical surroundings. Suddenly she got a vision of a stallion in the trail. The blood was fresh and the wound keep bleeding. Twilight made a run for it to the stallion. When she was close, enough she saw the black coated stallion was in unconscious. She quickly studies the man. He was a Pegasus. The mane was brown, his eyes were blue and in the flank was it a blue bat and a magnifying glass with a brown handle. In his flanks was it a black belt. Twilight searched the belt to find some first aide. The reason that Twilight searched the belt in first hand was that nopony would go into this forest without any medicines. Unfortunately, she had only first aid for unicorns. The belt had things that seem weird. It had something that looked like metal bats, some strange boomerang, a small thing with a hook that seem dangerous and some that seen like black baseballs. However, nothing like bandage or likewise. She had to use the first aid kit for unicorns to him. The mare stood there and bandages the wounds, and in the meantime, she thought about whom he was and where he came from. The purple unicorn levitated the wounded black stallion up from the ground and said to him with a soft voice “let’s get you safe”. “You think he will be okay doctor?” some soft lovely voice that could adore even the most heartless soul spoke with Twilight and a white unicorn with a red cross on her flanks. “Don’t wake him, if you please. He still needs his rest” the white mare spoke with the doctor voice and she was not very happy. The purple unicorn had come to the local hospital and with her was a black Pegasus stallion. The problem was that she did not know if the stallion had bits to pay for the operation that was very critical. She would have done it free if she could do it, but the medicines and bandage cost many bits. Even the black pegasus had head what the doctor, his rescuer and some others had spoken about him, he soon forgotten it. He was still in a bad shape. The dream he has was when he got here. An evil man in ugly make up pushes him into the machine and it how painful the changing was to a fantasy figure from the old Greece. The memories force him rapidly increase the breath. It was a good sign of life, and when he did it, the hospital contact Twilight that soon he could open his eyes. “Do you know anything about him?” the similar voice that could melt the most heatless soul spoke with Twilight again. It was the day after. “I don’t know, Fluttershy. However, I am not going to tell Pinkie until his waking up. The last he need is a bounce of crazy ponies that do a surprise welcome party for him” the last thing that Twilight said, had made her eye rolling around to make the sentence bit more solid. “Hey, his waking up” Fluttershy poke a hoof in the direction of the bed that had the unknown pegasus had slept. The vision of the pegasus was groggy and the voice he heard was likewise. “Who are you?” The pegasus though he was in heaven. The voice he heard was kind and shy. His eyes finely focus to the two voices. The voices came from to ponies, one unicorn and one pegasus. The unicorn was purple and had purple eye and black purple mane. The pegasus was yellow, had red pink mane and cyan eyes. The yellow pegasus spoke to him with the kindness to an angel: “Where are you from?” The black pegasus was still in a bad scape in the head and could not respond to those two questions as quickly as a normal civilian could. “Excuse me young lady, but could you repeat the two questions for me?” The black pegasus spoke with a deep and slowly voice and with a good courtesy. He does not want to make a bad impression. In his head was he in a bad panic. Maybe answer the question will make him calm down and get the head together. “I ask: who are you and where are you from?” “My name is Bruce Wayne. I’m had come from a place very far from this place” Bruce could not say that he was from another world. He was thinking that if he had told the truth about where he is from, they would lock upon him like a mad man (pony). He knows that their hospitality was there because they treated him as if he was in the same nature. He knows he was like them. The whole body was feeling different and in the same time familiar then his old body. They did not know that he was the Dark Knight and he was planning to keep it that way. “The doctor said that you are going to fly again in a few days from now” The purple unicorn said that with a grin to make him feel better. Trust me as a writer; nothing can make someone happy when the fact is that he/she changed of species. “Who are you two and where I am?” Bruce said that with a small curio in the voice. “I’m Twilight Sparkle and this is Fluttershy. You are in the local hospital of Ponyville. I am the one who save you in the forest two days from now. I am still curios how bad scape you got in when I am fond you. The forest is very dangerous in the night. It’s filled with lots of deadly creature in that forest.” The purple unicorn was very intelligent as far from Bruce could tell and hers explanation about the forest could help him to find a way to not tell the truth. “Well thank you for you save my life miss Sparkle. I was ambushes in the forest but they flee after I beat them. I was in unconsent because the bleeding.” It was the easiest thing to say and Bruce hoped that the unicorn saw a contradiction in what he was saying. The unicorn was too aware for the perfection in her sentences. Luckily, both the unicorn and the pegasus, took the white lie. Twilight and Fluttershy walk to the door. Fluttershy was the first one to go out. Twilight turns around and said “And before I go, the things that you have is safe in my house. You can come for your things when you are feeling better. I am curios what this thing is and I will that you could help me. I live in the local library by the way. You can ask anypony the direction” Yanks! She had all the things that is belong to my and she are curios what they are. The faster I am out of the bed, then better. “And don’t care about the bill. We got that covered” That’s was nice of her. I am in double own you now “Thank you for that Miss Sparkle. I hope I will learn more about you and this place” More than I know now. Twilight closed the door to the room with a red lock on her face. Some hours later, a white mare came in and said something about switching bandage. Bruce was curious about the country and/ or the planet itself. He asks the white mare, that now he knows was a nurse, a book with history and maps about this country. Unluckily for him, the hospital has not those kinds of books. Instead, they have something that has the attention to Bruce. A book called Daring Doo and the discovery of the blue Safire stone. He lost the track of time when he was reading in this book. The language was normal well-written English and the story held him in the Amazonas jungle. When he was finish with the book, Twilight come in to the room. Bruce closed the book and laid it in the night table. “Hey what’s up, Bruce? I see you have read one of the Daring Doo books. You are discharged in the hour and soon on your wings” Twilight said that with a grin. “I like this book. Thanks for asking. In addition, thank you for saving my lives back there. It still hurt in the side” Bruce said that and turned back the smile. It was happy news Twilight broth him. He was restless after being in bed for three days. Twilight leaved after a bit small talk to Bruce. The nurse come to Bruce after an hour and said the just the same Twilight said when she came in. “Only glide when you flying for some days. The wounds in your wing are healing and we will see you again next week for following up your wounds” The nurse said that in the doctor voice. You know that kind of voice you hear every time when your ill been held. “Yes ma’am. In addition, I am will stay out of trouble. Thanks for healing me” and with that, Bruce walked out of the main entrance. It was a beautiful day in Ponyville. The sky was clear and the birds’ song lovely. Ponyville was a small town, the citizen in the town known each other and they were happy that one more was in the streets of Ponyville. They wave to Bruce when he was passing them and they show him gently the direction to the local library. In the way to the library, he met a pink pony with fluffy mane. “Excuse me young lady, but where is the local library?” the pink one so in his direction and made a “Gwaaaaaaaaa!” And disappear before his eyes. Then he saw a pony that was cyan. It was a pegasus and had a rainbow colour hear. He was up in a cloud and relaxed. Bruce was wondering how pegasus walk in clouds, but the main part of him did not have the courage to ask one. The main reason was that he was a pegasus self and have the same ability for flying. Bruce shout, “Excuse me missy, but could you show me the way to the local library? I have some things there that is mine and I want it back” “Coming!” The cyan feather pegasus had a rough accent that reminds Bruce about some of the tugs in his world. “Hey, you are a pegasus right? We could fly to the library together” “Sorry missy, but I can’t fly for the moment” or not at all “I got hurt in the wing and most stay grounded till the wings is perfectly heal” “Shoot! But I can the way. My name is Rainbow Dash. I am the best flyer in Ponyville! By the way, who are you? I never see you before” “I’m Bruce Wayne. I’m a detective” The country I am in does not know Batman at all. Better, make some truth but not the whole truth. It could be bad if they find my secret identity Bruce could be secret but he did not use the alter ego to hide the truth. This world was too innocent to have a hero, thought he. “Follow me then. Bruce, I like that name” He followed the cyan pegasus down the streets, they started to talk about all the mysteries that Bruce took, and how Rainbow Dash loved to fly. Before Bruce noticed it, they stood in front of the library. The library itself was a big majestic tree. It had a special wooden door and lots of light. “I am coming in with you. It’s some books I need to borrow,” Rainbow Dash stood behind Bruce and said “After you, Bruce” Bruce open the door and it was dark. “Rainbow Dash, tell me not that the library has closed the minute before we went in” He was angry. He did not know the time of opening and closing to the library. However, he knows Rainbow Dash was a local. He knows that something was going on, but he could not see or hear anything. He was ready to attack for the matter of self-protection. Then the light turned on and a crown of ponies in party hats showed up and shouted, “SURPRISE!” Bruce nearly attacked Rainbow Dash before Bruce realized that it was a surprise party not an ambush. The pink pony he did see before popped in the front of him and said: “Surprise! Hey, I am Pinkie Pie, nice to meet you. I see when walk near Sugercube Corner remember. Moreover, you were gentle and I say GWWAAAA! Then I planned this party just for you. I heard that Twilight got your thing and you have no place to go. And *gaps* I know everypony in Ponyville. And you are new here. And you got to…”What energy. That Pinkie Pie sure is a lively pony. “…See all my best friends” five ponies were in Bruce vision. Three of them were ponies he knows; Twilight, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, Bruce did not know the other two. There were and normal pony and a unicorn. The unicorn has white hair and has black purple mane and blue eyes. The earth pony was orange with yellow hair and green eyes. She had a cowboy hat in her head and had it in a western way. She seems like a hard worker. “Howdy mister, I’m Applejack. Nice to meet you” The orange mare shaking the hoof to Bruce so hard, that the hoof was itching when she stopped. The western accent filled the room with some homesickness. “Nice to meet you to missy, I’m Bruce” “Applejack, give the colt some air. You see that the colt is in a bad shape” The British snobbish accent from the white unicorn filled the room and stopped in very snobbish way. Bruce was familiar to the upper class in Earth, but it shocks him to hear the snobbish in this type of dimension. “Good afternoon, Bruce Wayne. I am Rarity. I live in a fashion boutique here in Ponyville. Moreover, if you can, you are most welcome to try different dresses for colts. That black coat should be wonderful to my next design” “Good to meet you to miss Rarity. Maybe I will try some of the dresses after I have been healed” The white unicorn gasp a little when he said it. It could be a boost of hers career to design some dresses in his type of colour in the mane and coat. “Come on, everypony. Let’s PARTY!” Pinkie Pie’s voice got everyone of Twilight’s friends to come along to the dance floor. The party was different from the parties Bruce used to. It was more fun, more snacks and less talking then the parties in his world. Moreover, it was games, lots of it. The most popular was pinning the tail on the pony. A children game in his world, but it was still fun. In the party, he has to know the body he was. The moves he could use in his world were still the same. The energy he used to do tricks bit more than he was using when he was still a human. He found also a way to kick backward. Applejack showed him how to do it. She called it the buck. After all the guests and friends to Twilight had lived, the library was still in good shape. All books were in the right place and it was a minor trash after the party. It was dark and the night air filled the library in a calm and peaceful way. The stars was different from the Earth and the Milky Way was in the most beautiful in the mystical stargaze. “Twilight, I think you have something belong to me” Bruce was look out in the darkness. He felt lonely by only see the sleeping village. He felt that he was the only one to know the secret of his appearance. “I will come with the things you have. I think you need to show me how each thing work” Twilight was in another room and looked in the black belt that was there when Bruce showed up. Twilight came in to the room, and had a table and the black belt flowing in the thin air. The aroma around the table and the belt was glowing and had some purple light that was in waves. It was magic. The spell that she was using, was the one that levitated most of the things to the air and had nearly none energy drain. Unicorns had to learn the basic spell that all can do during practise. The table flew nearby the black colt and landed softly in front of him. With it came the black belt. The belt open up and out came the things Bruce had when he came her first. The unicorn guests, Rarity and Twilight used it lots during the party. It shocks him first mentally to see a cup of punch flying in thin air without any help from small unviable treads. Bruce did not show the first shock of fair in the party, but still there was a bit fair in Bruce eyes. The things that belongs to Bruce was in a very organize stocked. It was easy to tell different between the hunter boomerang and the remote boomerang “Ok Bruce, let’s start with this ting” Twilight levitated the hunter boomerang in front of his face. “It’s a hunter boomerang. It have a very effective way to stun an enemy in a small distant. The tricks is to…” In the talk, Bruce was happy to realise that this could be a new start for his career in this town without any crazy man or woman that will concurred the world or trying to beat him in mind games. This was a new start. Attore note:This is the first story I have been wrighten. Please tell me if you find some errors or dislike something in this story. This story are here to be critisite.
