//------------------------------// // A Letter // Story: Wesker in Equestria // by DeepThought //------------------------------// A Letter Wesker in Equestria by DeepThought Wesker focused his gaze on the floor and slowly regained his balance, noticing the change of ground. No more were it planks beneath him, but rather one smoothed wooden surface. After Wesker’s vision stopped blurring, he carefully got back to his feet and stood up. The blonde man scanned his surroundings intently. They had completely changed. Wesker was in a circular room adorned by several bookshelves. Not only the floor seemed to be made of one piece, but also its rest, as if it had been carved out of a gigantic tree. A small, open staircase led to a separated sleeping area, furnished with a relatively big, blue-sheeted bed and a chest of drawers. Embedded in the walls were several round glass windows. The room was a mess. Papers and books were scattered everywhere. In its center stood a blackboard; a mathematical equation was written on it. A telescope on a stand rested against a wall near a few potted plants. The purple unicorn hesitantly offered a hoof to stabilize the still slightly shaking man. Then she spoke up, “Are you ok? Not everyone reacts well to teleporting.” She sounded genuinely worried. “I feel... better. There is no reason to distress yourself, Princess Sparkle,” the blonde responded in a daze. Wesker didn't need her help; he could take care of himself. But if she really had the authority to make decisions about his fate, he should definitely get on her good side, no matter how inexperienced and insecure about her role she seemed. Twilight nodded. “Mr. Wesker, please wait here, while I meet my friends downstairs.” Her friends hadn’t arrived yet. Only a few minutes had passed since she had asked Applejack to bring the rest of the their friends to the library. On the way to Golden Oak’s main room, she met her assistant Spike, the baby dragon, reassorting the shelves. “Spike?” “Yes, Twilight,“ he replied. “I’m doing research on a new species. Would you please get me ‘Starswirl’s Strange Creatures’, ‘Clover’s Clever Critters’ and ‘Anon’s guide to Equis’ fauna and flora’?” “Of course, Twilight!” Her number one assistant handed her the said books. One after another, she skimmed through them in record time while the frown on her face grew. Sighing, she decided to inform Princess Celestia about the strange occurrences, despite having promised herself after her coronation to stop relying on her idol to take care of her businesses. Therefore she asked Spike - once again - to stop his work, “Spike, please get me a scroll and a quill.” “Okay.” Dear Princess Celestia, This is not another friendship report, but a request for advice. Today I stopped a creature who calls himself Wesker from stealing from my friend Applejack, causing her and her family a great amount of terror. He is a member of a sentient species formerly unknown to ponykind. There is no mention of it in the standard reference books, nor have I heard about it before. He is bipedal, but unlike a minotaur, his build is rather slim, standing approximately two meters tall. Physically, he is comparable to the apes living in Zebraca. Except for a bit of blonde hair on his head, I assume his mane, he has no fur - his upper body is naked, while his lower body is covered in a ragged pair of pants. I have attached a drawing. However, the most outstanding attributes are his eyes. Glowing in a crimson red, they are very cat-like. I conclude that he is probably a creature of the night. Judging by the flat facial structure, it could be a predator species. To put it in a nutshell, he looks rather threatening, almost villainous. But I assure you, we won’t repeat our mistakes. This isn’t going to be another Zecora incident. Despite the fact that Applejack attacked him and he managed to render her defenseless without using force, he didn’t lay a hoof on her. Also, Mr. Wesker didn’t resist when I arrived, though we didn’t meet on the best of terms. Even his act of stealing wasn’t meant to harm, but only to self-sustain. As he explained to Applejack, he was aware that his appearance would cause fear, therefore deciding to avoid ponies and gather information and supplies by entering her house unseen. I don’t believe he is a bad pony, perhaps a bit misguided... What I wanted to ask you, Princess, is if you are aware of any species matching this description, extinct or non-extinct? Your faithful student, Princess Twilight Sparkle. Bored, Wesker snooped through the papers and discovered all of them were unfinished approaches to solving the relatively easy equation on the blackboard. He struggled with himself, but then decided to show some good will. He started solving it on the blackboard. It was strange how a race that perfected teleportation and forcefields, obviously didn't invent calculus and still had no electrical light. Something didn't add up and he was determined to find out what were the reasons for these inconsistencies. Just a few minutes after she had finished the letter, her friends arrived. “Hi, Twilight,” they said in unison, all happy to see the bearer of the Element of Magic unharmed. “Hi, girls. Please come in,” the alicorn responded cheerfully, while pointing with her hoof inside. The five mares followed Twilight to the kitchen, where Spike considerately prepared tea and put cookies on a plate. “I assume all of you know what happened?” When he finally heard hoofsteps, Wesker was relieved. He hated wasting his time with waiting. He’d already successfully solved the equation. Whatever happened now, he would face it. He couldn't stand being idle. Applejack, Twilight and four more colorful ponies entered the room. When the Princess saw Wesker's handwriting on her blackboard a frown spread across her face, and she huffed. Nopony had the right to spoil her work... But then realization dawned and her eyes widened. This was brilliant!
