//------------------------------// // Mane seven? // Story: Equestria Hearts: Unbreakable Bonds // by Samski13 //------------------------------// I felt my life being drained away as we approached what I assumed was Zecora's home, well more like a hut. "how can anyone live out here!" I managed to gasp, "it's crawling with heartless and whatever that thing that almost killed me." " well Zecora seems to be able to handle herself," drawled Big Mac, "she never seems to have problems with the wildlife, but my sis and here friends well that's a different story." Big Mac chuckled at this. "heartless? Was that what you were fighting? What are they? And more importantly what are you?" "I'll answer all your questions if I live Big Mac," I gasp "Well okay let's meet Zecora." said Big Mac We walked into the hut and I was surprised to see a zebra and not a pony. Zecora looked like a normal zebra except she had some rings around her neck. What surprised me ever more was how she talked. " we'll hello Big Mac how do you do? What is this strange creature you have brought with you?" Zecora rhymed. "I don't know Zecora but he is intelligent and he needs help I have to rescue him from the largest manticore I have ever seen! He has been poisoned " explained Big Mac Zecora nodded and began to look around her hut and soon came back with a bottle with a bluish fluid inside it. "here drink this brew. It will heal you before you can count to two." said Zecora I weakly nodded and drank the whole bottle and my chest felt like it was on fire! It felt worst than the time I tried to be a fire eater! But good to her word I soon felt as good as new! Well as good as a 750 year old anyway. " many thanks Zecora I feel great! Now I suppose both of you have some questions. Well ask away!" I said happily just glad to be alive. Just as Zecora was about to speak I heard an enraged female voice yell "You!" and before I could react I felt something collide with my head and I blacked out. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *mane 6 perspective* " I should of wrote the Princess about this new creature!" Twilight thought out loud, " I bet she would be really interested!" "Twi you really all and egghead, I want to kick that things flank! No one hits Rainbow Dash with a pie and gets away with it!" threaten Rainbow Dash. " yah know sugarcube I agree with Dash on this one I want some payback." stated Applejack "you all are just a bunch of silly fillies," giggle Pinkie Pie, "he seems like somepony that can really party! I'll have to try that bursting from the cake some time!" Twilight rolled eyes as Rainbow Dash and Applejack got into an argument over where if this new creature was cool or not. Since Fluttershy and Rarity were having their own conversation twilight had plenty of time to think of what to do if they ever caught the creature. She decided to attach it to the machine she had in her basement first! Twilight began to smile as she thought about all of the things she could learn. "oh look girls... We're here.." mumbled Fluttershy Applejack and Rainbow Dash stopped arguing and open the door to go inside and when they did their anger was renewed. There was the creature! And he was sitting with Big Mac and Zecora! With an angry "You!" Applejack ran in and bucked the creature in the side of the head before he could ever react. Big Mac jumped up and yelled, "why did you do that sis? You can't just go around bucking everypony you see!" " You don't understand Big Mac! This is the creature that hit me and my friends with pies!" responded Applejack " and is that really a reason for you of all ponies to go and buck somepony in the head?" quietly responded Big Mac  "I.. You.. I guess your right Big Mac. I'm awfully sorry about that." apologized Applejack " I'm not the pony you need to apologized to." stated Big Mac pointing to the creature who was just beginning to come around. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *sam's perspective* Wow did a train hit me? Probably not I think the orange one hit me. What was her name again? Oh yeah! Applejack I think I should avoid her. I thought to myself. As I opened my eye who should I see but Applejack looking right at me.  A look of panic crossed my face and I crawled backwards and yelled out, " Reflega!" summoning a protective barrier of light that protects me from all attacks. "please don't hurt me" I beg to her. Then I notice the rest of the mane six are there as well. "I'm sorry!" I cry out, " I didn't know hit someone with a pie would result in death!" They looked at each other before Twilight spoke, " we will let you live if you answer some questions." a look of pure glee crossed her face. " oh no." I thought to myself, " this might not end well."  " okay I will answer any questions that you have." I concede "oohhh do you like to party? I'm Pinkie Pie! I love parties! I'm totally going to throw you a party as soon as we get back to ponyville!" happily exclaimed Pinkie Pie as she appeared inside my  protective bubble scaring me to death and breaking the spell. But something about Pinkie Pie reminded me of myself and I smiled and answered her" yes Pinkie Pie  I love to party and prank people but I guess you might of guessed that," I grinned, " my name is Samuel but you can call me sam or anything really I love nicknames!" I happily exclaim. To this Pinkie Pie began to bounce up and down saying something about how we were going to be the greatest friends. I felt so much more relaxed after talking to Pinkie and now I was ready to explain myself. But before I could I heard a cough in front of me it was Applejack, I turned and looked at her. " I'm mighty sorry for bucking you like that it was wrong of me to do so can yah please forgive me? She asked turning red from embarrassment. I put on my most serious face and look her in the eyes and very close to her. She began to look scared. All of a sudden I poked her in the snout and said, " honk! Your forgiven AJ," I began to grin like an idiot, "I've got a harder head then you think." I said hitting my head a couple time. She an the rest of the mane six gave me a confused look, well except for Pinkie Lie who was still happily making party plans. Twilight took this silent moment to speak up. " a couple things," she began, " one, how do you know our names? Two who and what are you? And three what are you doing here?"  "well my dear Twilight as to the what and who I am I shall tell you my story." I proclaim I began to tell the girls about my awesome origin story but you have already read it so I'll give you a free pass. After I finish before me I see six mares, one stallion, and one zebra all with skeptical looks one their faces. " What" I joke, " Y'all don't believe me? Do I have to prove it to you like everyone else?" I saw eight nods I sighed " fine what do you want me to do?" Before anyone could respond pinkie jumped up and exclaimed, "give me wings!" "you got it!" I reply. I focus on the task and with a flash of light there stood Pinkie now with Pegasus wings to her delight and her friends horror. "ooo look! Now I can fly just like you Dashie!" said Pinkie with excitement in her voice. Rainbow flew over to me grabbed me and practically yelled, " change her back! I believe you just changed her back!" " okay if you say so are you sure you want me to?" I grin evilly  "yes! Yes!" rainbow Dash cried I focused again and with another flash Pinkie was once again wingless.  "Aww I was enjoying that." Pinkie said with a sad look on her face "sorry Pinkie but I don't think your friends were ready for you to be able to fly, maybe some other time" I said with a wink. " okay okay let's get back on topic now," demanded Twilight I mock saluted and barked, " yes ma'am! What every you say supreme overlord!" this brought some giggles from her friends and a chuckle from Big Mac, but Twilight just gave me a death glare. "sorry now to answer questions one and three. I was summoned here by your princesses to help fight the darkness that is in your world. They so kindly filled me in on the adventures of the Elements of Harmony. And I must say I'm very impressed with you girls, A+ for all of you in the  save the world class." I stated. This caused the girls to blush and say things like, " it was nothing really" "yeah we are pretty awesome!" and " when are we going to party?" " so does that answer everyone's or I guess here its everponies' questions?" I happily ask as seeing the ice had now been broken. " I've got a question" stated Big Mac, " what the hay were those things that you were fighting?" My happy face melted away, " those were heartless creatures born from the darkness in a person or ponies heart. They attack people/ponies and try to steal their hearts creating more and more heartless.  The heartless main goal is to locate the keyhole to a world crawl inside and steal the worlds heart blinking it out of existence. Your Princesses summoned me to aid you if finding the keyhole to this world and locking it so that the heartless can't steal it." I explain. I was greeted with looks of confusion, fear, and disbelief.  Twilight spoke up, "okay so how are we going to go about finding the keyhole to our world?" " your taking this a lot better than most people," I happily state, " we it take times I will have to begin to live your lives with you and in time the keyhole will be revealed." " I guess we don't have a choice.. If your going to live our lives with us I guess you'll live with me in the library so we can can get better aquatinted." happily stated Twilight her thoughts going back to the experiments she was going to run.  " sounds good to me!" I exclaimed " well what are we waiting for? Let's get started!" I yell happily. After I thanked Zecora and Big Mac I began the walk home with the girls. As I thought over what had happened today I thought to myself, "I totally love my job! Hey I guess this means now I'm part if the mane seven!" I chuckled to myself over this fact and began to make conversation with the girls. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* *samski13 here sorry about the delay of this chapter I'll update the most on weekends and once again thank you for reading now that I'm done with the set up its time to have to have some misadventures with the mane six before the plot really kick in!
