Heavy hoofsteps slowly ascended to her quiet retreat that is the lovely room of her good friend Rarity, only made empty by her presence. She sat unperturbed, facing the tree lit only by the moonlight right outside the window like what she has been doing for days on end - denying the truth by detaching herself. As the monster's steps slowly and slowly amplify, the wind blew on the tree suffering her sight. The leaves waved her goodbye as she wait for the creature to come in.

She had expected that she would take this less calmly. Meeting the one creature that has killed so many and made her lose so much, but she is done bargaining with death. Sadness has a way of giving you strength when you finally choose to have it. The loving times she had with her beloved... family... will never be forgotten and every detail of their grim deaths will forever be etched in her mind, but so is the strength that made her finally accept that they are forever gone in the present but forever living in her memories, and where there is life, there is hope. 

And where there is hope, there is life.

A single lonely tear dripped from her eye. A tear not of sadness, but of unique elation for knowing that losing so much has made her the strongest pony she knows. That she can visit her memories of her friends and shed tears not of sadness but of happiness, for when somepony is remembered they are never gone.

And so she will forever immortalize her friends by her thoughts, and knowing that one's life continues this way she has no fear of meeting her own demise.

The door creaked open behind her. Her attention turned to the presence she could feel standing at the door of the room.

"Hello Fluttershy"

She found her hooves slowly making her stand up and slowly turning to face the monster who made her stronger. The large creature stood, its entire body of dead flesh was covered only with a red mask on its head and straps across its chest. She stared at death's face with no ounce of fear, for she knows she's stronger than him. 

This strength did not stem from a desire to avenge her friends, nor to fight for her own life - but from knowing that whatever happens tonight, she lives on. One way or another.

She has finally accepted.

"Hello Deadpool"









Chapter 8: Anti-Deadpool


"OOOOOOOOOooohhh..." 

Deadpool wrapped his hands around his grumbling stomach as he laid down on the cold barren ground of hell dimension or whatever the fuck the place is really called. The rocky ground is red, the entire background of the place is black with distorted red shapes everywhere, and the only company this place have is Pinkie the friendly demon horse - which by the way, given the fact that it isn't really comforting, but, you know.

"HHHHHHOOoooohhhhhhhh.... Oh my god, my stomaaach..." 

Deadpool, The Merc With The Mouth rolled a little on the floor still wrapping his hand around him as his stomach eat away itself "Hooooly shiiit..."

[[What's wrong?]] 

Pinkie Pie, The Creamy of Some Pasta approached our hero in need as he continued rolling on the barren ground of her home or something. It was she that brought him to this probably literal hellhole and for all he knows probably the only one who can. There are likely more things this creepy little pony can do since it so happens that she was the one that dragged him in this universe in the first place, but anyone's thinking can get a little screwed when they're hungry.

"I am so goddamn fucking hungry, that's what's fucking wroooooOOOHHH!" He twisted his body as the pang of hunger surprisingly take him over "OOHHH my god! Why the fuck does getting hungry HURT THIS BAD?! AGH!"

[[Wow. To be honest, I don't know why I didn't think you'd need to eat. It has, after all, been days since you've been here]]

He rolled on his side to face the demon horse with an understandably pained face "I don't really keep track of time since I don't have a watch, how long HAVE I been here?"

She glanced up to think and returned back to him [[Maybe around 4 or 5 days. With all that 'regenerating' I saw you do, I just thought you didn't need to eat or drink really, haha]] she chuckled with an embarrassed face. Not a very common misconception, but it happens. [[Plus, ponies can live for a week without food but only two days without water]]

What does that have to do with him? "Two days without water?" Whoa... when was the last time he took a drink? ... Oh yeah, just hours ago in Discord's insides. Blegh. "UUUGHHH..."

{{I will admit, this is a slight oversight on all our parts. Let's just get you rejuvenated and we can continue our work}}

Red Box, The Caption With No Fuck finally entered the conversation, like what he does once in a while in case we all forget about him. Deadpool by the course of time has been listening to him since the first issue of Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe so there's no need to describe his threatening evil voice that echoes low pitch bass sounds every time he speaks that would make Skrillex commit suicide. Yep, no need. Red Box isn't really his name, Deadpool only now just thought of naming him that so it would be easier to describe him. He wondered why he didn't thought of naming him that earlier.

Speaking of no need to describe voices, there's also no need to point out that demon Pinkie Pie here sounds like a distorted teenage girl's voice mixed with metal gratings and occasionally baby cries echoing in the background while she speaks, plus it doesn't help that she has glowing dots inside her skull for eyes. Yep, really no reason. Leave it to Deadpool to be unusually observative while he's goddamn hungry.

{{Are you listening?}}

"What?" He tried to stop rolling on the ground for a while "I'm sorry, I'm goddamn hungry. I only pay attention to my stomach when I’m goddamn hungry"

[[I don't have any food or ingredients on me so I can't make you some cupcakes]]

"Oh, too bad. Really"

[[Yes. This feels so cliché, but it looks like I’m bringing you back to the Everfree Forest again]]

Ah! The Everfree Forest! Of course everything begins, happens, and ends in The Everfree Forest! Everybody knows that! "Really now? How is sending me there going to feed me? I've been there, like, several times now and I haven't seen a single edible looking fruit or plant. Granted I ate that mushroom before, but I quit"

[[Haha! ... No Wade, only a few plants and fruits are not edible in the forest. And didn't you swore to be a vegetarian earlier?]]

"It's hard to stay dignified on an empty stomach. Plus, I don't trust the flora of that place" Deadpool stood up from the floor and approached Pinkie. He's so hungry he could eat a horse... huh. 

"... You know, I heard horse meat is pretty lean and good for your health"

The crimson pony raised an eyebrow and shot him an annoyed look.

"I'm kidding! I'm kidding! I'm not gonna eat you! Hahahahaha! Heh! Hey - seriously, cut that out, come on" he raised his hands and slowly backed away while she stared him down with her soul-burning gaze while the red shapes on the background behind her began shining "... But still, I need to eat and the point still stands so..."

The shapes stopped shining and returned back to their dim form while Pinkie held a hoof to her chin [[Hmm. Well, technically you ARE right. Pony meat IS lean and good...]] she rubbed her chin some more and brushed off her hoof [[Well, I guess you can eat pony]]

"Thank you!" He approached her with grateful eyes "Oh thank you VERY much! You'll always have a special place in my heart" he leaned down to her and held her hoof in his hands

[[You're not eating ME, silly!]] She took her hoof off him [[You're going to eat somepony else, of course!]]

"I knew that" He wiped his saliva off his lips "I was just going to kiss your hoof in gratitude"

[[Yeah, sure. Well you're in luck. For some reason, somepony is wandering alone in the Everfree Forest right now and I don't know why so--]]

"Forget it!" Deadpool turned his back and crossed his arms for effect "I'm not killing your non-demon version! I already told you I have enough of that shit"

[[I'm not talking about her!]] Black smoke trailed and she appeared in front of Deadpool [[She left the forest before you went to Canterlot! She's long gone. This one is nopony important, or at least to us anyway. She's totally killable]]

"Now who would be stupid enough to wander alone in the Everfree forest especially in a time like this except for me?"

[[Well, you'd be surprised how the multiverse is connected. Sometimes I still am]]

"What?"

[[Oh, and you'll probably need this]] She reached for something behind her and lo and behold, she stood before him and in her hooves were four very familiar works of art handed to him by fate.

"Is that?" He clutched the two blades from her "It is!" his two ornate Japanese one-handed katanas, wielded by only by the finest samurai warriors of feudal japan which he lost with his fight with Pony Akuma earlier. To have it back is to redeem his honor and he doesn't need to commit hara-kiri anymore.

"And this...?" He eyed the two remaining items while he sheathed the swords on his back. His hands gripped the handles of the items so familiar, he turned off the safety by muscle memory "My guns... My guns... Oh, how I miss thee my beloved" he held one to his cheek and rubbed it with glee. He smiled like a youth as he visit fond memories of people getting their heads shot by him, exploding faces and blood splattering on walls, floors, and other peoples' faces made him giggle 

"We shall never depart for thou wilt to be with me. This world of strife can't tear us apart, for we have each other... Hold on a minute" He removed the magazine of the gun on his right "EMPTY?!" and he then checked the other one "ALSO EMPTY?! Hast thou flung thyself to the care of another man? So be it, thou whench!" He motioned to throw the guns away "Have at thee!" before he could cast away his beloved, he was able to steel himself and lowered his hands in understanding "... Ah! How couldst I stay mad at thee? Thine faults are numbered but thine good works are innumerable... I forgive thee" and with that, he holstered his weapon at the straps on his waist. Now all he needs is his belt and his costume.

He turned towards Demon Pinkie Pie, she was staring at him with an awkward face. 

"What?"

[[... Nothing]]

{{Yes, Nothing}}

Deadpool cleared his throat "SO, how did you get hold of these things?"

[[Since Chapter six. They are surprisingly far away from each other, Big Mac beat you up good back there]]

Deadpool took a breath and a step back "Oh yeah, I forgot. You can do it too"

[[Eeyup!]] She gave him a wink and wrapped her hooves around his leg [[You and me Wade, we're the perfect team!]]

Her dead hollow eyeholes glowed dimly out of place with her innocent-like smile as he look down. Her fur, bloody red all over accentuated the hue of her darker mane swept to the side showing off her ghostly visage. Her entire appearance is the image of a little girl's innocence corrupted by dark shit. He remembered the pink pony she showed him on the crystal ball before. Even under stress, it looked so lively and carefree and... pure. Looking at her now, they're both so similar and yet so different...

"The perfect team, huh"





The dark forest of Everfree did little to assist her as she tread through the grassy knolls in search of the monster responsible for the chaos of late. 

Little light reflected from her teal coat. Despite her eyes practically adjusted to the dark now she can barely see her way through in her admittedly futile search for answers – answers that as far is everyone else is concerned she doesn’t need to know.
Everypony told her this was a bad idea. Supposedly, this forest is the monster’s hideout especially since it appeared and disappeared to and fro this forest. With the deaths of hundreds of ponies still fresh in everypony’s mind – especially Discord’s – plans to search the forest for the murderer is somewhat non-existent for some reason… well, some reason being fear of the unknown crippling any sense of urgency Princess Celestia usually have in situations like these.

You would think that the princess would task her neighbors—ahem, the Elements of Harmony to search and bring down this monster once and for all but word seems to have gone out that Twi--… Princess… Twilight Sparkle have gone to the Crystal Empire along with Princess Luna, for reasons left unexplained.


…. What’s in the Crystal Empire, Twilight?


What’s so special that you have to go there all the way from Ponyville while this part of Equestria is in a state of emergency? …. Does it have something to do with the monster?


… What do you and the princesses know that I don’t?


Her apparently robust hooves took her to some part of the forest she honestly isn’t familiar with – not that she’s familiar with the forest to begin with, this is practically her first time here and immediately she’s already lost.

Of course this was a bad idea – Of course she could be killed – Of course there’s no way she could protect herself from the creatures in the forests alone, let alone the monster. Basic spells won’t save her rump. But even if Roseluck got killed, even if Canterlot got ravaged, even if the monster’s using never-before-seen kinds of magic, even for whatever reason she can think of to not go searching for the monster herself…


… How could she really pass up an opportunity to finally see a human?


Her hooves slowed down on their own as a light gust of wind blew against her way. She stopped. The air slowly brushing through her felt strangely cold. Her eyes widened towards an almost unheard rumble somewhere around her. She slowly turned her head around her, unsure of where it’s coming from.

“Who… Who’s there?”

The rustle continued. She took a step back, the alarms going on in her head telling her to run away and never come back went unheeded.

“Who are you?!”

She was not up to speed. She slid backwards when something big lunged from the woods and landed just inches away from crushing her. Pushing herself back, she rushed to her hooves and looked on as the moonlight reveal her attacker by a split second.

“Gah! A Manti-“

The swipe from a large paw threw her off her sentence and towards the trees behind her. Her back slammed against one of the trees and recoiled her to the floor.

“AAHH!”

She rolled to her side trying to ease the pain but her expression didn’t fare any better when she glanced toward the creature standing where she was a moment ago

She wasn’t sure if the moon was being kind to her or not when it illuminated the massive form of her assailant. It almost looked like a pony if not for the darker shade of its brown fur crowned all over its face. Its feline eyes dilate with desperation stared her down while two rows of canine teeth arrayed with saliva pooling down in small drops laid on the creature’s visage.
It moved a paw toward her, the tremble of its body somehow making it look surprised to see her too. Its ribs bulged from its chest meaning it’s apparently really thin despite its huge frame.

“nngh…”

The beast took another step. It exhaled a soft roar, more like a growl that you’d expect from something that’s been hungry for days. Or weeks.

The creature let the light reveal a pair of giant purple wings adorned on its back raised as if for flight. It drew closer until she can see its entire body still trembling at her for some reason

“… A manticore…”

She doesn’t need this right now. Not now. She didn’t come all the way here to go out like this.

“… Please… You don’t have to do this”

The manticore folded its wings and slowly lowered its body to the ground, poised for another jump. Its face frozen with a strange mix of disbelief, desperation, and fear. Almost like it was trying to defend ITSELF from her.

It stopped moving as soon as she moved her hoof to lift herself up from the fall and even lifted back a paw as if it was going to run away. She kept her eyes on it as she stood up from the floor, the moon’s light fully illuminating the creature inside the otherwise pitch black forest.  The longer she stared at it, the less she could understand what is going on.

“I…”

“WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER OR FAAALL!♪”

A voice somehow echoed all over the forest. They both shook their heads, trying to figure out which direction the sound came from.

“AAALL YOU GOTTA DOO IS CAALL!♪”

She watched the manticore circle around, its wings raised and ready to fly off. Somehow she can see a face daunted with more terror than hers just a few hooves reach from her and she doesn’t understand it.

Why is this thing more scared than her?

The manticore turned to her as soon as the echo died down. She can feel something heavy dangling below her heart. The air felt cold as her eyes locked with the manticore’s for a split second.

Something splattered on her face. Unflinching, her eyes kept locked on two lights shining on the face of the manticore that she haven’t noticed until then. She blinked. The forest became too quiet. The manticore slowly lowered its head bit by bit. Its four legs slid, giving into the weight of its body. Its wings bent to their sides, raised and stiff.
There was something holding on the back of the manticore’s head as it finally bowed to the ground. It looked like a pony but to her surprise it started to stand upright as soon as she saw it. It unclenched two long bars attached to the back of the manticore’s head as it stood, the light she saw earlier now reflected from the bars this new creature left.
They were swords… and this creature is…?

“AND I’LL BEE THEERRE – YEAH, YEAH, YEAAAHH♪…”

Her mind was blank all of a sudden, like this creature’s presence alone somehow removed her ability to think. Her hooves stayed put and her face kept unflinched, the creature pulled one of the swords from the manticore’s head and slowly pointed it at her direction.

“What? You ain’t surprised to see me drop in?”

Her thoughts slowly started to gather in her head while she kept still in front of the creature. Like she thought – the creature looked like a tall pony standing upright, it didn’t seem to have a muzzle and it was wearing a red ripped mask covering only the top half of its face. It looked like its fur was badly removed from its entire body leaving behind a scarred and dead flesh for its skin. When she looked closer the creature had what it looked like claws holding the sword pointed at her.
It’s just what she remembered it looked like.

“You’re… You’re a human… right?”

The human lowered its sword and stepped down from the manticore’s corpse. The steps it took towards her sounded like it was the only thing that can be heard within a mile from them. Her guess is that the human was towering twice as tall as she is. She could clearly see its face now just a few steps from her and her mind just went blank again when its mouth slowly opened to speak.

“It’s kinda sad that it would be here of all places that I would actually be recognized as human” it leaned towards her, narrow eyes staring directly at hers “… How do you know what a human is?  …What’s your name?” 

She couldn’t believe this was happening. She couldn’t believe she was right. She had always dreamt that one day this would happen and here it is now, before her very eyes, she has found a human.

“M-My name is Lyra. Lyra Heartstrings”







“... I hate to break it to you but that doesn’t sound human at all”

“Are you sure?”

Sunset Shimmer took a sip from her ice cream float and laid it back to the table. Twilight Sparkle, her former enemy and first real friend just stared at her as if she’s not being completely truthful – not that you can’t really blame her for it.

“Twilight, after everything that happened why would I lie from you now? Now the way you described what this creature looked – Yes, its appearance do resemble humans – but appearing and disappearing in Ponyville killing three ponies and tenfold of animals a mile apart in less than an HOUR?! And… killing around a hundred…” 

The other people in the ice cream parlor started looking at them while Sunset ignored Twilight hissing at her to quiet down. She slumped back to her chair. “A HUNDRED ponies in Canterlot in that much time just yesterday? That’s not something a human can do, Twilight!”

“Sunset, please. I dug the Canterlot’s history archives before Princess Luna and I left for the Crystal Empire and there’s not a single reference or even likeness of this happening ever in history. Equestria has never faced anything like this before”

“You’re telling me”

“Listen to me” Twilight leaned over the table to her “You are the only lead that I – no, Everypony has on a chance to defeating this monster, Sunset” 

She grabbed her head to think. Sunset moved aside her ice cream float to make room for her elbows while she contemplated all this. Twilight didn’t like putting all this on her but the sense of urgency made her press on. “I need your help to identify what this monster IS to begin with. Otherwise we might not have a chance at all”

Sunset just kept still for a moment. Her forehead bowed to her palms, her mind rushing from one possibility to another and from one statement to another - the fate of Equestria is not an easy burden to carry. “This magic you described to me… Invisible fast small fireballs?”

“It’s how everyone described it” Twilight returned to her seat “… It is kind of hard to grasp”

Sunset looked away for a moment and went back to her “How was it making that?”

“They said it came from some long object the monster was carrying. It didn’t really sound like conventional magic”

“It sounds like a gun”

She leaned closer “What’s that?”

Now it’s Sunset's turn to explain things “Some humans carry these weapons which, here, we call guns. Some guns vary in appearance but the basic formula is the same – they shoot ammunition, usually called bullets”

“I’m not sure I follow all that”

“It’s hard to understand it by just having it explained to you. Especially since we don’t have anything like that back home. Here, they’re usually carried by this world’s law enforcement and military force”

“Usually?”

“Yes” Sunset eyebrows lowered and sounded more serious “Usually”

“Are you saying that this monster maybe a member of the human’s guards?”

“That’s not what I meant”

“I know” Twilight stood up from her chair to leave “I just hoped you did”

“Where are you going?”

“Take me to the Princess of this world”

She took a moment to take what she said all in “Are you kidding me?”

“NO I AM NOT KIDDING YOU, SUNSET!”

She raised her hands to Twilight to try to calm her down, her outburst attracted everyone’s attention from the other tables and the counter again “Twilight calm down please, let me explain” she motioned to her seat “Sit down, please”

Twilight sat back down and tried to ignore the judgmental faces of everyone else staring at her. She covered her face with her hands as she went on “I’m sorry- I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that- I don’t know what got over me- I’m so sorry”

“Listen to me” Twilight kept her head low when she took a glimpse of her “This isn’t Equestria. We don’t have a princess – if you remember, Princess Celestia here in this world is our High School Principal. Even if I get you the president – which I doubt I even CAN – who’s to say he’ll believe us?”

“He has to, Sunset!”

Now it was Sunset that’s hissing at her to quiet down “Twilight, I need you to think harder for me here”

Twilight sighed at her words. Sunset left her alone when she hid in her head in her arms. Twilight didn’t want to think for a moment and just allowed herself to let out just then – even a little. She felt Sunset’s hand on her shoulder, like it’s telling her that they’re in this together. For just a little while she wept. For just a little while longer she sobbed. For just a little while, she actually felt okay.

“It’s going to be okay, I promise. We’re going to stop this”

Twilight looked up, a few tears flowed from the side of her eyes. She squinted and gave another look to her friend and former enemy. The one who once stole her crown and tried to rule Equestria with its power is now the one drying her tears.

“Hey, let’s get out of here”

Twilight nodded and allowed her to help her stand up. Sunset paid for their drinks on their way out and just walked away from there, not really knowing where to go. Sunset looked up to the sky and stared at the moon for a while giving out its light from atop Canterlot High.

“What was it like here?”

She turned to Twilight, looking a lot calmer “I mean staying here in this world? – this High School?”

“Oh. You know. High School” She laughed a little. Now that she mentioned it, she hasn’t really gave it much thought “Flash and I dated back then”

“Huh?”

Sunset turned back to Twilight again

“- Oh right - Yeah. I remember the girls telling me before”

“… Yeah”

They kept walking towards nowhere in particular. Twilight right then thought it would be good to ask something that’s really nothing in particular “So uh, what happened back then between you two? – If it’s alright to ask of course - that is”

“We better get back to the portal before it closes”

“We?”

Sunset Shimmer’s smile felt so unnatural for her. Probably because this time she feels she’s going to do the right thing “That’s right. If I get a good look at this monster I might be able to help”

Twilight embraced her on the spot. She shifted and then tried to awkwardly return the hug.

“Thank you, Sunset. This means a lot to me”

She could see the school statue not far from them. After this night is over it will be another thirty moons to get back to this world.

“Maybe we should let the girls know”

“You know there’s no time for that”

Twilight let her go so that she can see if she’s really sure of this “There’s no telling what might happen. You don’t have to go with me”

“I’ll be fine” She kept resolute. Her eyes determined and her will immovable, she’s going to Equestria and by Celestia they will get this monster “We’ll be fine”






One thing’s for sure - bat-winged scorpion-tailed lion taste pretty damn fine despite sounding like it came from some poorly translated Asian menu. Or maybe it’s just his stomach talking. Either way this is sure to give Chinese take-out a run for its money.

It was a little while before he remembered that he had company in the form of a mint or teal or whatever pony shivering beside a tree. Jesus, how many colors do these ponies come with? Is this like a collectible thing? That would… that would actually be smart.

The little pony just kept huddled at the tree staring right at him like she’s never seen a man eat a lion with bat wings before. Or maybe she’s hungry too. Yeah that could be it. He pulled out a scoop from the lion’s ribs with his hand and handed it out over to her

“Want some?”

“No thank you”

“You sure? Ribs are always the best part”

She just stared at him and went back to brooding in her corner. Suit yourself. He hasn’t eaten for days and he still went out of his way to share. The magic of friendship, people!

“Umm…”

He stopped chewing on the lion’s liver and looked back at her. He waited for a few seconds before she talked again

“Do all humans… eat animals?”

“Hmm?” Deadpool wiped some of the blood from his mouth “Uh… yes? Well, there are people who won’t eat meat purely out of choice. I don’t know. I don’t care. Why?”

“Nothing”

Deadpool thought for a moment and it came to him “Oh Right! Horses don’t eat meat! I remember”

“Uhh-“

“Well what do you eat? Grass?” he waved his hand to the grass around them “There’s plenty of grass here”

“Ponies don’t eat grass. And meat”

Deadpool glanced at the half eaten lion between them and to its liver on his hand “Heh… This must look pretty horrifying to you huh?” then he took a bite from the liver again.

“Y-Yes…”

He downed the rest of the liver and went back to the lion “Okay” and then pulled some other gib from the lion he sliced open from the neck to the waist down like a frog “But I think we’re far far away from anything edible here except for this one. You ever had bat wings? Me neither.”

After a while of salvaging the dead, Deadpool thought he had enough of his fill and began carry on with the night. He stood up from the half eaten corpse of the lion and turned to the pony who is surprisingly still brooding at her tree. This thing needs something to do “Well! That was refreshing and everything but I do have a schedule to keep. Everyone’s not gonna kill themselves after all. Another day, another dollar for the working man”

Lyra looked on as he started to walk away “Wait. Where are you going?”

Deadpool burped and stopped walking “… Yeah that’s right - Where am I going?”

“Where ever it is, can you take me with you?”

He turned to face her and wondered about the gravity of what she just said. He chuckled and raised his shoulders “What?”

“I want to come with you. Please”

He shook his head “Why?”

“I don’t know”

“Then I don’t care”

“Wait! –“

“Look – You’re lucky enough to be alive just now all thanks to that lion over there. Plus – I know my reputation probably won’t precede me here but haven’t you heard of me?”

“… Thanks to the--? But- you saved me from the manticore!”

“I was hungry and that thing just came out of nowhere”

“But I still owe you my life!” 

“What the hell?” What’s wrong with this thing? “Do you have a death wish or something? I may be in a good mood now but that’s not gonna guarantee you a quick and painless death sooner or later. Whether you come with me or not”

“I want to know more about humans and why you are killing everypony. Please, I – I always felt like… like deep inside I’m really a human”

Deadpool facepalmed “I swear, this universe is begging me to destroy it” 

“Ever since I was a little filly there are times that I just naturally move in a different way than… well, ponies. Back then I kind of like standing upright and-and even the way I sit and hold things I – even now I – ugh… It’s hard to explain”

She walked towards him and held his scab-ridden hand “And these… they’re called Hands, right? They’re… They’re amazing…”

“Awkwaaard” He took his hand and a step back “You are fucking creepy”

She immediately lunged to his leg along with a ‘woosh’ sound and cartoon dust particles “Please! This is my chance to know more about myself! I risked my life coming to this part of the forest – I left my all friends back home without even saying a word to them – I need to come with you!”

He tried to shake her away from his leg but she just kept clinging while a generic cartoon bell rang along. You know, the sound that plays when you’re trying to shake off something in a cartoon? Because he’s in a cartoon?

She gave him the puppy dog eyes when he stopped shaking her off. Little stars twinkled in those unbelievably huge eyes along with an overdone pout thrown in with a few whimpers for good measure. Just a second ago this thing was scared to death and now she looks like she wants a Scooby snack.

“You’re Insane” but it made him think. This could work. He can’t help but rub his chin and look like he’s thinking real hard in front of her. Yes, this could work. “… You know what? I think I like you”

“THANK YOU!” Her overblown pout morphed into an overblown smile, and started to celebrate by spinning around in front of him while laughing and jumping “THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU – OH THANK YOUU!!” he’s pretty sure she’s dancing or something. Yeah, this must be how horses dance.

For some reason, she reminds him of Pinkie Pie.

“Right…” while Lyra kept fucking around he looked for any sign of her even though he’s sure there won’t be “Well, like I said. Where am I going?”

“I’m sorry, did you say some-”

A looming shadow covered the entire sky and embraced the forest. It enveloped her senses leaving her blind and deaf. She screamed but she couldn’t hear herself screaming. She moved her hooves but she couldn’t feel the ground. Then as soon as it came, the looming shadow vanished and she found herself with him in a different place.

A very different place.

“WAAAH!! AAAHH!” She turned and found themselves stranded in a place with nothing but the barren red ground and the sickly horizon of nothing but strange red shapes moving in the pitch black background totally devoid of light “AAAHH!! AAAAAAHHH!!!! WHERE ARE WE?! AAHH! WHERE?!”

[[Hi there, new friend!]] 

“WHO SAID THAT?!” She turned to the human but he just smiled at her “WHO SAID THAT?!?!”

[[I did!]] 

She felt the voice coming from behind her - she in no way wanted to but her body turned by itself. Her heart feeling like its rising from her chest and all her fur standing straight up, she found herself staring into two fiery red dots at the end of two large voids. Her entire body froze. Her eyes felt like they were going to pop out from their sockets while the world around her looked like it was being sucked into the two voids she’s staring at. A black crescent shape appeared below and for a moment it felt like she was staring into a face
