 I didn’t know what I was walking into when I walked through that portal of Twilight’s. It felt like I was falling through space and emptiness. I didn’t feel Twilight’s hand, so I started freaking out. Where was Twilight…. Did I let go of her hand when I walked through? It felt like hours inside this weird place. When will it stop? At that thought I landed on solid ground.

“Ugh… That was a rough landing,” I said out loud.

Directly after saying that I heard what sounded like footsteps coming towards my location. I tried to find a hiding spot but there was nowhere to hide. All I saw was what looked like a forest, but no trees to fill it. I could see emptiness for miles on end. I decided to hide behind a tree stump in the ground. 

When I came up to see who it was coming this way. I saw a soldier of some kind walking towards my hiding spot. I thought I saw an emblem with a moon and wings coming out of it also had a star in its center, as an emblem. On the other side of the soldier’s chest, he had a blazing sun and a phoenix in its center as an emblem. I didn’t what they stood for, but this guy didn’t seem like he was going to help me out. I hoped and prayed to whatever is listening, that this guy didn’t find me. 

As I was mumbling a prayer, I heard a loud thud and something dropping to the ground. “What the hell was that,” I said. I took a peek over the tree stump and saw someone standing over the soldier’s body. I couldn’t tell who it was at first, but from what I could tell this person had long blonde hair pulled back in a pony tail. I guessed it was a female. I decided not to get out from my hiding spot, mainly because I didn’t want to end up like that guy.

“You can come out from hiding,” she said. How did they know I was back behind here? I stood up and walked towards the person. 

“Who are you,” I asked?“You’ll find out again soon enough Adam. Follow me back to HQ,” she told me. 

“Wait, how do you know my name? I also go by AJ not Adam,” I say to her.

“I have my reasons for calling you by your first name, now come quickly.” She took off running after saying this.

I decided on going with her since it was better than staying here. While I was getting led back to this person’s Headquarters, I took in my surroundings. There was absolutely nothing in this area, aside from the massive craters, dead bodies, and smog. What the Hell happened to this place and why were their dead bodies all over this area? I couldn’t take looking at the bodies anymore and that’s when I remembered something again.

There were bullet’s flying everywhere and people falling over dead left and right. I was standing behind a barrier with a machine gun mounted on top of it. The beautiful girl named Rainbow Dash was next to me, trying to warn me about something. I couldn’t hear her over the firing of the machine gun. That’s when there was a loud boom in the center of the battle field. Rainbow Dash dived at me, wrapping her arms around me as we fell. Right after she did this, Debris and dust shot over us. If she hadn’t knocked me over, I would have been a goner. I felt something liquid slide down my arm, Dash must’ve noticed it also and rushed me to the medical tent. At the medic, I saw the girl with the blonde hair lying next to me. “Dash why do you care so much about him? I thought you loved me…” The girl said right before passing out. 

“Hurry your ass up, we don’t have all day.” The girl hollered at me. I rushed up to her side and noticed a beat up building in the distance. I asked her if that was where we were heading and all I got in reply was a yes and no. 

When we got to the front of the building, I looked up at it and saw some writing on it. It read “Town Hall” and it looked about three stories tall. “Let’s hurry and get inside Adam, before we get seen by unwanted guests,” The girl said. She rushed inside and I followed in after her. When we got inside, I didn’t see anyone else and I was somewhat confused. The girl noticed and grabbed me by the hand and pulled me to a storage closet. “Why the hell are we going into a storage closet?!” She shushed me and opened a hidden compartment and the back wall opened to stairs going downwards. I had no words for this and watched her walk down the stairs into darkness. As I entered the door and stepped onto the stairs the entrance closed behind me and the stairway lit up. The girl wasn’t anywhere in sight, so I just started walking down the stairs. When I got to the bottom I entered into what looked like a command center. Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and stared at me. 

As soon as I was about to say something, someone grabbed me by the arms and pulled them behind me. “Who the hell are you and how did you find this place?!?!” I started to freak out, what the hell did I get myself into. “Let go of him Big Mac, he’s one of us,” said the girl who led me here. I separate myself from him and stormed over to her and said angrily, “Who the hell are you? I believe I deserve and explanation of everything that’s going on.” She just stood there quietly like she didn’t care if I ever found out.

“Adam!!! I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Did you let go of my hand when we entered the portal. I should’ve warned you not to.” Twilight ran towards my side and hugged me tightly. “Twi…light…please…let go of me,” I said somewhat out of breath. 

“Dang Twilight you’ve gotten quite strong for an Egghead.” I heard someone say while laughing. Then I saw this girl walking towards us. She looked like the girl I saw in the dream and flashbacks. Her rainbow hair was cut short, but still looked awesome and was dressed in what looked like the forest camo for the army on earth. Then she looked at me and smiled, “Nice to see you again Adam” She came up to me and started kissing me on the lips, “I’ve missed you so much. I haven’t slept well ever since you disappeared.” I didn’t know what to do and just decided to kiss her back to make her feel better. I guess she could tell something was up and stopped. “Don’t you recognize me Adam,” she said with tears in her eyes. “Didn’t you get Twi’s Intel Sugarcube? Twilight said that Adam is suffering from a form of amnesia.” Rainbow Dash looked saddened and slowly walked off. For some reason I didn’t like the thought of Rainbow Dash being sad and said, “Rainbow Dash… I’m sorry I don’t remember much, but please don’t be sad. I am getting some memories back and they all have you in them. The time we were in the open field, right before the start of the war and when you saved my life on the frontlines of battle.” Rainbow Dash turned around and looked a bit happier. “I promise I’ll find every way possible to try to get back my memories,” I told her, but thought something else. Who am I really and again I thought back to my life on Earth.

After the encounter at the command center, Twilight led me to my sleeping quarters. “I made sure everything was left the same as they were before your disappearance,” She told me and then left. I stood in the center of the room and looked at everything in sight. There was a poster on the wall with a dart sticking out of it. The poster had a picture of two women, one with blue, pink, and green hair and the other had dark blue hair. The poster read “Obey Your Rulers or Die” now that is a scary thought. I walked over and sat on the bed and looked at the stuff on the dresser. On top of it had ammunition for a pistol and some more for a M16 and next to the ammunition there was a letter. I stood up and picked it up to read.

“Dear Adam,		
After you disappeared, I never stopped searching for you. I looked High and Low for you, but I could never find you. After about year, Twilight said she would sneak into the Princess’s palace to see if she can find some Intel on you disappearance. I tried telling her that I would go instead of her, but she didn’t agree to it. When she took off toward Canterlot, I felt useless and tried to kill myself, but AJ “Apple Jack” made sure I couldn’t. I was taken off the Elite Rebellion Squad and was under careful watch 24/7. Then we got news that Twilight was caught and imprisoned in a cell deep in the caverns of the palace. There was no way we could save her. The guards outside the HQ, then saw a bright beam of light shoot into the air and quickly disappeared. We didn’t know what to make of it. We thought that Twilight was sent to the moon, but three hours later Twilight appeared back here in HQ saying that she brought you back and had amnesia. Please try to remember all the great things we had.

P.S. I love you Adam James.

Sincerely, Dashie...

I was in deep tears after I read this, why can’t I remember anything. I decided to think back to my life back on Earth. I tried to remember stuff like being on the Track team and the Cross Country team, but I couldn’t remember anything from my life in High School. I ran out to the hallway and yelled “TWILIGHT!!!!”
