The party was going great about an hour had passed when we decided to play water polo chicken style. Fluttershy was on my shoulders while AJ had Rarity on her shoulders Dash flew over head for our team to act as goalie and Twilight floated herself with her magic. Pinkie as the referee was in hindsight, a bad idea.
"Foul, double bogey, offside!" Pinkie yelled blowing on a whistle she had.
"What's a bogey?" Fluttershy asked catching the ball with her wings.
"That's Basket ball, Golf and Football Pinkie not polo." I said lifting Fluttershy up higher to score past Twilight.
"I don't know what to call it you stepped over the line AJ!" Pinkie called.
"It's a little hard to balance like this!" AJ yelled back her legs twitching trying to balance Rarity.
Rarity was completely above the water making it difficult for AJ to balance.
"Stop fidgeting so much darling I can't get this swim suit wet its dry clean only." She said catching Fluttershy's next throw and scored herself.
"What the... then why are you wearing it? I was only using my barrier spell to practice it." Twilight said getting splashed in the face by Pinkie who points at me.
"It's made out of the finest materials I could find you can't expect me to wear anything less now can you?" Rarity responded.
Applejack with a look on her face that said "To hell with this." dropped Rarity and she fell backwards into the pool.
"Apple Jack what have you done!? My swim suit it's ruined!" Rarity gasped her make up running.
"It's a swim suit ya swim it that thing an't no swim suit if ya don't!" She yelled back.
"Why you uncultured orge!"
Rarity loosing her feminine grace tackles Applejack and they start fighting in the pool.
"Girls don't fight! Pinkie call a time out!" Twilight yelled.
"Come on AJ go get her!" Pinkie cheered using a megaphone as Twilight face hoofed.
"Go get her Rarity!" Rainbow dash said throwing punches in midair.
"Oh my..." Fluttershy breathed as I pulled her off of my shoulders and set her next to the pool's edge.
"Once again it's up to me to save the day." I sighed.
I waded between the two of them, reached under the water and pull them up by their tails they were still fighting as I did so.
"Unhand me at once I must teach her a lesson!" Rarity demanded.
"Go ahead just don't do it in the pool I don't want you killing each other." I said back
Walking out of the pool I drop them into the over sized hamper where they keep going at which I then pushed away from the pool and got back in.
"There all better." I said and Fluttershy climbed back onto my shoulders.
"Celestia give me strength." Twilight muttered.
A moment later the lights go off and fluttershy screams.
"W-what happened!?" She yelped holding onto my head like a vice grip.
"Relax it's just a power outage it should be back on soon." I said trying to pull her off for she crushed my head.
Rarity and Twilight's horns started to glow and we notice we weren't in the pool house anymore. Applejack and Rarity hearing the commotion knock the bin over and tumble out where Applejack makes a discover.
"Grass... what the? Where are we?" She said.
A strange howl one kind of similar to a wolf is heard in the distance and the girls scream.
"Timber wolves!" Pinkie freaked and latched onto me as well.
"What's a timber wolf?" I said when something grabbed me and yanked me out of the water leaving Fluttershy and Pinkie behind.
"Tony!" Twilight screamed and sweeped her horn over the area I was but I was gone.
"He's gone we have to find him quickly!"
"I don't know where we are I know it's in the Everfree forest but I've never seen this area before. We're in deep where ever we are." she said trying to figure things out.
A quick look around and Twilight noticed items in that were in the beach house before we got sent to wherever this is.
"The things in the room that were with us got teleported as well and we are in a pond it seems. We need help I hope this spell works out here ponies have been studying the forest for years and we still are not sure how it effects magic truly yet.
Summoning up her magic she launces a magical flair high into the air and it goes off it started off as a bright green and turned a vibrant red before fading into a skull and cross bones.
"I hope some pony saw that SOS spell I'll send off a few more Fluttershy you, AJ, and Rainbow dash go find Tony Pinkie I don't care how but get some help." Twilight ordered throwing up another flare.
"On it!" Pinke said with a salute and bounced away while Rarity helped throw up flares too.
A short while later pinkie and the others returned but none had good news as to my fate or their own.
"It's no good it's to thick even I can't get out of here." Pinkie sighed.
"There is nothing but forest for miles I can't even see Mount Canterlot from here." Rainbow dash reported.
"Twilight... are you sure we are back home?" Rarity asked.
"We heard a timber wolf call didn't we? Besides my magic is stronger here it has to be Equestria it was a lot harder doing it in Tony's world."
"I found which way he went but it's much to dangerous to follow there is a massive colony of star spiders that way their bites are deadly." Fluttershy said starting to tear up.
"Star spiders? Great that's the last thing we right now." Rainbow dash complained.
"So we're trapped out here and we can't even get help?" The farmer inquired.
"I wrote a letter while trying to calm myself down but without spike I can't send it." Twilight said.
"The sun won't be up for another 9 hours too." Fluttershy added.
"All we can do now is wait huh? Well ah'll get a fire going then no point in freez'n" AJ said stacking logs together.
"No we can't draw that kind of attention we have no choice we have to hunker down and wait for the sun to come up maybe then Rainbow dash can fly up high enough to see where we are." Twilight said as the others groaned.
The girls huddled closely together using the towels from the hamper to dry themselves off then fend off the cold they were in a rough night though not as rough as I mine was about to be.
I came too feeling my body being dragged the ground. I couldn't speak as my mouth had been gagged nor could I move my body either. I was being dragged toward a fire around it where... ghosts it seemed. One was almost as dark as the night around it a very deep blue that's body seemed to be made up of stars. Another was a mish mash of different colors each with the head of a different animal it seems to be a snake like creature yet it's long neck and head made the silhouette of some kind of humanoid form. The next was a black cloud with a red horn made out of crystal and red and green eyes with a purple smoke rising from the edges.
"At last they have returned!" The dark one cheered.
I was dropped by the fire and the creatures that carried me moved out of sight all I could see where their glowing green eyes.
"So we are all here then?" Asked the star monster.
A new voice rang out it sounded distorted I couldn't tell if it was suppose to be male or female it didn't reveal it's self either all I saw of it was just a bit of it's wings they had holes in them and looked much like a bug's.
"Indeed we are we have successfully captured him without alerting those ponies to our plans. Once we finish here he will be perfect for our plans!" The voice cackled.
"Indeed I have failed already but with him serving out our new plan we'll wipe them out for good! The elements can't be used if their owners are dead after all!" the star monster laughed.
"Now now we don't need to kill them just break them up that will be much more fun besides if we kill them the elements will just pick new masters like they always do we have to break the bond. Now if we break the bodies in the process well." The animal monster trialed off and chuckled as well.
First we have to break this... human. He can't exist how he is that will ruin everything." The dark one grinned.
"Hmm that is a good point what can we do though? We can't control him it seems these human things are immune to magic that's why we had to drag him back here." The unknown voice said clearly some sort of insect the way it's wings looked and moved from what little I could see.
Star monster: Hmm... ah I know we'll use the same method I did to take over my last host though this will be much more... messy." She grinned.
Something behind me covers my eyes with a blind fold and I hear magic being charged up by all of them the magic would have revealed their true states to me. What happened next I can't describe, pain like I've never felt before I felt my body twisted and rearranging my jaw broke and realigned it's self my legs hyper extended then snapped and twisted themselves around and I felt something on my sides burn hot as something... grew there. My head was next I couldn't remember how that happened once my skull started to reshape I passed out. I woke up hours later still blindfolded but no longer bond. I tried to move and my body screamed in pain I felt something wet and sticky and my hands were bound in something I couldn't move my hand out of a fist meaning I couldn't take my blind fold off. I laid there for awhile as the pain my body in slowly but surely began to fade enough for me to attempt to move again.
Finally after what felt like hours I was unable to stand up but I dragged myself along the ground. I patted the ground as I moved along I was on something hard based on the sound it made it was most likely a rock I was still gagged so I couldn't call for help. Move forward I reached the edge of the rock and felt downward I couldn't feel what was below me so I waited on top of the rock for more of the pain to pass and I tried to pull on the blindfold. It was over my eyes to tight to be moved but I felt a loose rock nearby. I moved to the edge and slid it off I quickly heard a soft thunk the ground was very close. I bit the bullet and slipped off of it I was only 3 feet off the ground or so and I landed safely. my legs refused to work so I continued to drag myself sides with the pain I was in I couldn't do much else. After awhile I felt gravel I slid my arm over to confirm yes it was gravel alright I checked further on and found grass again this was indeed a trial I leaned against the nearby tree and waited resting.
After while I heard something then someone coming toward me. I felt something grab my head and take off my blind fold my right eye was swollen shut but I could make out the silhouette of something. My ears must have had blood or fluid in them because I couldn't make out what they were saying but from what little I did here it did indeed sound like English or Equestrian as Twilight put it. I felt myself being lifted into the air yet nothing was beneath me to hold me up so I deduced the girls had found me or another unicorn did. I was lowered gently into a cart and I felt a blanket be put under my head as a pony was starting to dress my wounds. 20 minutes later I felt my self be placed on a gurney it had to be as I saw lights above me zoom past I was facing up so I had to be in a hospital by now. I must have been dumped fairly close to a main road I figured. I flinched as something was cramped into my ear but soon after my ears finally popped and the sound started to come back in.
"Get me 30 cc's of blood now!" A voice yelled.
It was a female a doctor or nurse I deduced the gag was still around my mouth for whatever reason they hadn't removed it yet. I laid there and let them work on me my right eye was swollen shut and my left was so blurry it hurt trying to see out of it. I was safe at least. I know I fell asleep but when I woke up later I had a patch over my right eye and that dang gag was still there but I could see out of left eye clear as day actually if anything I could see better out of it as they hadn't replaced my glasses on my face. I looked at my hands they were still bandaged up which didn't look that good. I looked around the room off to the side on a small table was a large pile of bloody bandages, yikes just how badly was I hurt anyway? I looked in a nearby mirror I looked like a mummy all I could see was my eye. Christ they dilated the hell out of it now it was as big as a pony's. Still I was alive at least. By now the only pain I had was my sides my head and my butt for some reason. As I tried to get the bandages off my hands so I could flex them a nurse pony came in.
Nurse: ah what are you doing!? Don't take off your bandages!
She ran up to me and held my hands down.
Nurse: Your stitches haven't been removed yet your body is covered in them please you need to hold still.
"Mmph!" Was all I could manage to say.
"I can't take the bandages on your face you have a very deep cut in your throat we have to keep it on until it heals your very lucky to be alive the cut didn't hit your major artery plus we had to wire your mouth shut because your jaw was disconnected on both sides. It's like it was ripped free but left connected at the same time!" She said in both amazement and horror.
So that explains why I was still gagged my mouth was wired shut and I had a cut in my throat! Christ how was I even alive? I sighed and laid back on the bed I was not happy about this I couldn't even ask if my friends were okay.
"Good good. I will alert the ponies that found you that you are okay please wait here." She said and left.
Ahe leaves and after awhile 3 ponies show up. One had a white flank lighting blue mane and wore purple sunglasses she was listening to what looked like an I pod. The next was massive he was a bright red with an orange mane and a yolk around his neck. The last was pegasus she had a gray flank blonde mane and a wonky eye it was kinda cute actually.
"This is Vinyl Scratch, Big Macintosh and Ditzy doo they are the ones that found you." The nurse said and left us alone.
"You were a nasty sight bro I was poking you with a stick when Big mac came by he's the one that loaded you up in his cart after I put you down in it." The unicorn said.
"Eeyup." Big Mac said with a nod.
"I was on my mail run when I saw what was going on I got the pegasus medics and they got you here in the nick of time you feeling any better?" The grey mare asked her saddle bag had what looked like muffins in it.
I nodded my head the best I could and flinched It felt like I had a metal road in my back.
"Your body is healing quickly but you won't be only anywhere for at least another 3 days. Wow that your awake your body should heal much faster." the nurse said coming back with fresh bandages.
"Cool we'll be back in 3 days to check up on yah." Vinyl said waving goodbye.
With that they left and the nurse gave me some medicine to help me sleep again. I was lucky to be alive. 3 days later as promised my bandages were ready to come off. I didn't care about the fact I was only in the hospital for 3 days maybe they fixed me with magic or something. Whatever I didn't care at the time because I could finally flex my hands again ponies are insane keeping my hands curled up like this so long I feel like my fingers are going to fall off. My saviors were there as she started to take off my bandages.
"Mmph!" I said again while the nurse worked quickly.
"Hold on I have to unwrap your head first I've already started." She said.
I growled softly mostly in frustration as she slowly undid the bandages on my head. When she finished something felt weird my ears were flat had they been cut off? I felt the side of my head they weren't there! Sliding my hoof up I found them on top of my head!
"Grmph!?" I mumbled.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
I rubbed my ears to indicate that is what I was upset about.
"Don't worry your ears are just fine your hearing will come in fully in a moment." She said trying to calm me down.
She was right a few seconds later my hearing dramatically improved so much so that I covered them I could hear every little sound around them and it hurt!
"Oh dear hyper sensitivity." She said concerned.
She grabbed my hat off a coat rack nearby and placed it on my head I sighed in relief it dulled the sound just enough to be comfortable again.
"We best leave your eye tell later it should have more time first now then what next your legs or your mouth? Your vocal cords were damaged and won't heal for at least another month or so."
With that option gone I just held up my arms as she started cutting the casts they were in off then she unwrapped them. I... was stunned silent. The tips of my hands... were gone my fingers all 10 of them had been cut off! I had a faint scar on the back of my left hand that was still there but my fingers... were gone no wonder I couldn't flex them! I was crippled! The nurse didn't even seem phased as she started to remove the lower body brace I was in with a saw. I moved my ex hands as a tear came to my eye. What kind of monster cuts off a guy's fingers? I need those! As she unbandaged my legs I felt her bump them and I looked down in horror my legs had been bent backwards! And they casted me up like that! Oh gods what madness was this!? I couldn't believe it when she finished my toes were gone too they had been chopped off as well! This was like a horror movie!
"Hey not bad aside from the stich marks you look great buddy." Vinyl said.
"Eeyup." Big mac agreed.
"Wow your really lucky frew people survive timberwolf attacks!" Ditzy added in.
I just looked at all of them. Had I gone crazy... or was I just Frankenstein into becoming a pony!?
