//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Arrival // Story: Ponies in my world // by SPkon107 //------------------------------// Chapter 1: Arrival I looked down to the ground as the plane was descending from the sky making its way to make contact with the ground. After seven hours of sitting down and not doing anything at all i was finally returning home. the plane’s tires finally touched the surface of Earth. I unbuckled my seat-belt as we came to a stop. I stood from my seat and exited out of the aircraft. After the long waste of time at the security check I finally reached the waiting lobby where my sister was waiting for me. She waved and called my name. I smiled and approached her. She hugged my. “How was the flight?” “Ok I guess.” An average day at the state of California, in a small city called Paramount. I recently finished my four year service from the United States Marine Corps my family moved to Mexico my sister stayed with my aunt in Lakewood and I stay at the same house where I was raised. My sister drove me back home. From the look on her face it looked like she has been away from the town for some time. She made the last turn before arriving home. The car finally came to stop in front of the same two roomed small home that i was raised in as a kid. “Well Tommy…” I turned around to face my sister. “...I guess you’re home. I hate to leave so early but, I have to pick up Salvador from school.” “Hey it’s cool Ally. I think I’ll relax for a while.” “Are you sure.” “Yes Ally. No need to worry about me.” “Ok. I’ll try to visit soon ok.” “Yeah. Take care ok.” Ally nodded and entered her Hold ON Don’t Accelerate vehicle (HONDA). She pulled out of the drive was as I opened the door. I looked around the old place. Everything was still in the same place. The sofas were still on the same wall as they always were. The T.V sat in front of the center table. The only thing different in the living room was that the carpet was replaced with tile. To my right was the dining room table. Only two chairs remaind. I figured. Knowing what I was going to spent the time here on my own. I walked into my old room my belongings still in place. I threw my bag onto the ground and I open my computer. I checked my bank account. The money I have earned along with my savings I was able to buy a house near Silverwood Lake but that house was only going to be used for the summer. I loved visiting the lake as a kid so, i thought why not buy property close. Ok to be fair I didn’t buy the house. I called in a favor from a friend to buy it for my. ---------------------- Third person Equestria The train closed in towards the capital. A well known citizen of Equestra was called upon by the Princess to perform a spell. The unicorn and the rest of her friends stepped off the plane and onto the station. They happily trotted through the city except for a rainbow mane pegasus who flew towards the palace with her forelegs crossed along with an angry look. A white alicorn was sitting with the council of Unicorn University of Canterlot. The spell was to teleport the subject to the beach and return with an object as proof and return back. The white alicorn said to the unicorn. “Ok Twilight Sparkle we are ready to see your spell.” “Ok your highness everypony please step inside the circle.” All of the ponies entered the circle and they stood in their positions. The lavender mare carried her saddle bags with books and her brother had another bag that had her books in the bags as well. The young mare began to cast the spell. Wind began to twirl around the ponies. A light cyclone spun around them in a blue green color. Twilight’s horn was white due to the spell. After a few second her horn turned to red and then black she had lost control of the spell. The entire room went crazy. Windows shattered and the curtains were shredded by the violent winds. The light cyclone turned into a violent twister. After a bright flash of light the ponies were all gone. --------------------------------------- Back to first person I was driving to the house at Silverwood Lake. I had over two kilometers of land half of it was farming land which now people will be asking me how much I charge to farm since one my parents are Mexican and I speak fluent in both English and Spanish, but I don’t care and the other half was a small forest with a river running through it. The house was huge I asked my friend in the Marines to buy the house for me but she went overboard the house had six rooms 5 ½ bathrooms a large kitchen and living room, and a garage for three cars. So I decided to call her. "Hello." “Hello Beth.” “Hey what’s up?” “What’s up you bought me a house that’s family size.” “Stop your bitching I bought for you so you can do your thing like you were in back in high school.” “What?” “You know what I mean Tommy you were such a player back then fuck you always know how to please a girl on the bed.” “Beth that was then I need to move on with my life.” “Doesn’t matter Tommy you fuck half the school girls including me.” “That’s not who I am anymore Beth. You know that just as well a I.” “I know Tommy. Kevin is picking me up in about an hour. I’ll...talk to you later.” “Ok. Beth you're still an ass for buying me a huge house but thank you.” “Hey fuck you but you're welcome. Bye.” Week 1 Day 1 “Bye.” I hanged up and walked outside I opened trunk of my truck and pulled out a box filled with guns. I grabbed my personal thing from the car after I placed the box of guns in the kitchen. I also had another box with photos. I opened the box and I grabbed a photo of me, my parents and sister at my uncles house in Corona. I placed the photo down and I pulled out another of me and Beth at our high school graduation. Then I looked at another one of me and my squad in the Marines. I stared at it for a long time. Remembering that battle. The battle where I lost a close friend to the enemy. I shook my head to regain my concentration and continue to unpack. I looked around the place. Seems like the previous owners didn’t really cared about their belongings since everything was left behind. I walked to the room that was the emptiest which was the master bedroom. Inside was only a queen size bed, an empty closet, and a drawer.After I finished unpacking everything I looked at the time. I was getting ready to leave but I had to do something first. With all the open space and no cops around to bitch around about safety. I walked to the kitchen and I grabbed my Desert Eagle then I walked at the back with extra ammo on the other hand. I saw a piece of old fence and I figured I can place a few cans on it and shot them off the piece of decaying wood. Before I stepped any further I heard thunder it was the summer and it never rains here at this season I looked up but, there were no clouds. I scratched my head when I looked back to the fence. A bright light appeared and an explosion throwing me about five feet from where I stood. I was on my back trying to keep my conscious. I rubbed my head and I said. “What the fuck?” I picked myself up and I looked towards where the blast was. All I found was a group of horses but I noticed some of them were wired about the. First of wall was the color of their coats. Pink, Yellow, Orange, Dark Blue, and Lavender. Then their eyes were larger than a normal horse and they also had horns, wings, or both. The thing that freaked me out was that they talked. Only thinking about my training. I raised my pistol at them. I heard the male talk as he looked at me and he had some kind of armor on him. I kept my pistol raised making sure that they weren't hostile. The male inspected my weapon for more than a minute. Then it shouted. “He has some kind of weapon look out!” he tackled me but, I kicked off the stallion and i rolled backwards. After I got back on my feet I punched it across the face. It shook it’s head and push me to the ground and I kicked him off. I picked myself up as he charged at me again and this time I listened to my soldier instincts and shot him. A female voice shouted. “Shining Armor!” I turned to see that they were all scared and I looked at the injured horse then back. He didn’t attack to take me out he was defending them. I began to walk towards the male horned animal but I was stopped by a pink horse with a horn and wings. She shouted at me in fear and anger. “No I will not let you hurt my husband!” her horn began to glow. I assumed that she was going to protect him. The fact that the talk was still freaking me out but, I did injured her husband? Anyways I was still posing as a threat to them. I had to calm her down so I said to her. “I’m not going to attack him. I actually regret shooting him.” “Liar!” she yelled at me again, but I don’t blame her for not trusting me. The rest of the horses began to surround us. The lavender unicorn and the Dark blue pegacorn had their horns glowing. If I was to convince them that I was a threat the time is now. I raised my weapon to the air. “Hey it was a reaction of self-defense.” “What?” after I heard that I knew that I have confused her now. I looked at the pink pegacorn. “I am Corporal Thomas Garcia from the United State Marines.” she asked. “So you are a guard?” a guard now she confused me. I was a soldier not a fucking bodyguard. “No I’m a soldier. You know people who go to wars to protect people and take out the threats that endanger lives.” She looked at me as if I was crazy. I will not lie she did look cute with that look. I said to her. “Please if you don’t want him to die let me pass through.” I even gave her my gun to prove to her that I wasn’t lying. She looked at the gun and them at me. She grabbed the gun and I approached the horse and removed his armor. I inspected the body. “Doesn’t look like the bullet hit any bone or organ just the skin I will patch him up.” I walked inside the house and I looked for a med-kit. I looked out the window and I saw them talking. I’m sure they were trying to figure out if I was a threat or not. I walked back outside and I began to treat the stallion. After I healed him I apologized to them they thanked me and. They still seem to be afraid of me. I won’t blame them. If they only see me in action then there was no way they will trust me. I saw the dark blue Pegacorn approaching me. Her voice was quite soothing when she thank me once again. I asked for their name. “Where are my manners I am Princess Luna Mistress of the night and these is my niece Princess Cadence and her husband Shining Armor, and these are the Elements of Harmony Twilight Sparkle sister of Shining Armor. “Please to meet you.” She did a little bow as if I was superior. This made me feel uncomfortable but, I’ll let it slide this time. Luna continued. “Applejack.” “Howdy partner.” the tipped her hat as she saluted me. “Rarity.” “The pleasure is all mines.” this unicorn was very polite. Kind of like my mom. “Pinkie Pie.” “Hi.” she zipped around me then jumped on my head and then on the ground. “Rainbow Dash” “Hey” she looked pretty angry. I thought back. She already looked pretty pissed of before the whole incident. “And Fluttershy.” “Um… hi.” as soon as i turned my direction to her she trembled and fell to the ground. Terrified was the only thing that popped into my head. The pegacorn cleared her throat and said to me. “So now if it isn’t so much of a bother to ask and, I hate asking for things like this when we are in an uninvited place... but what do you have to eat?” “Nothing actually. I just came over to unpack a few things.” “Oh...well what...does you people eat?” “Well Humans or scientifically name Homo Sapiens are omnivores so…” I watched as the ponies backed away. I shook my head. To be fair they were a bunch of colorful horse. “Relax. If there’s one kind of meat that I will not eat it’s horse meat.” “But... we are ponies.” Idiot it’s the same thing. “You are still the same thing.” “So how do you know how we taste?” “I’ve tried your meat but it was terrible so I won’t eat you but that doesn’t mean I’m changing my diet for you guys.” “Very well.” Now they were more relieved but can still hear the stomach growl. “Wow you guys are hungry. The nearest market is about a mile from here. But first since i feel bad about what happen and I can’t let you be seen I’ll show you to your rooms.”the light grayish cerise pony asked with a surprised tone. “Wait you're letting us stay? Why?” . I said as I rubbed my neck. “Well one I shoot your husband and two it’s the least I can do.” we stood looking at each other which felt very awkward. After the moment I walked back to house but, this time the ponies followed me. I showed them around and stopped at the homeschooled kid room. “So I went inside this one the salesperson told my friend who bought the house for me said that their eldest son was homeschooled until his senior year of high school and if you look this room is like a…” I was cut off by the lavender mare. “Library! I call dibs!” we all stared at her she instantly turned red. “…Opps sorry it’s just I’m a…” The blue one said to her. “Egghead.” “Rainbow really.” “Well it’s true you don’t do anything but read and study magic. Speaking of which ‘cause of you we are stuck here.” I tried to maintain the atmosphere cool. “Hey calm down.” “I’m sorry I did not know this was going to happen!” “Yeah right you know maybe this is why a stallion hasn’t asked you out because your such a smartass that you might end up hurting them with your ‘magic’. This all your fault you bucken bitch!” I look at Twilight then she began to cry and she ran off and for some reason I stood up for her. Seriously what else was I supposed to do? “Hey what the fuck is wrong with you!?” “Oh look who’s defending the egghead.” I stepped towards her. I was about six feet tall. I literally oversized her even Luna stood about two or three smaller than me. Excluding the horn of course. She was about four feet. “Yeah look in my world you better watch yourself because no one in this is treats others like shit without getting hurt or worse.” “So.” I grabbed her and pinned her against the wall. “Look you bitch I may fucking hate horse meat bu,t I will break your wings off and send you to a fucken slaughter house do you understand me!?” she was now looking at me in fear. “Yo…You wouldn't.” “Don’t test me.” I dropped her and she looked up at me. “You’re sleeping in the living room. I have to look for Twilight.” Princess Luna asked. “Why?” I answered without looking at her. “Trust me I can’t let anyone else see you.” I walked to a counter in the living room. In the couch trying to get on his feet was the male stallion I shot. He was breathing heavily. He looked at me. “What...happen?! Twilight just ran off crying.” “Something between her friend.” the unicorn tried to place on of his hooves on the floor. I approached him. “I can’t let you go.” “What?! Why not?!” “You’re hurt. I’ll bring her back ok.” he open his mouth to convince me to let him go. Something must have told him not to. “Please. Bring her back.” “I will. Hey Applejack come and help me will you.” I grabbed my pistol and one of my camping bags I use in the Marines. After a quick check we ran off. We followed the hoof prints which she left behind. Problem was is that it lead straight into the forest. The orange pony and I walked to the street. I came to a stop when I heard the familiar sound of a car drawing near our locating. Reacting quickly I removed Applejack’s hat and kicked her into a near by bush. I waved at the family in the car as they drove away. Applejack spat out a few leaved and shook herself clean. “WHAT IN THE HAY WAS THAT FOR?!” “Sorry for that.” I passed her hat but she quickly snatched it from my hand. We crossed the street and entered the forest. The first thing that I noticed was a few bushes with berries on them. I noticed that the berries were not edible. I looked around making sure that there weren’t an hoof tracks around. Luckily the tracks keep going on deeper into the forest. I passed the bush and then towards a small creek. The pony behind me tapped my leg. I turned back and noticed that Applejack was worried about her friend. “Where do ya think she ran off to Tommy?” Tommy? You have been here for less than an hour and you’re calling me by Tommy. “I’m not sure...let’s just hope that any predators haven’t found her or worse hunters.” “Hunters?” she cocked her head sideways with her brow raised. “Humans that kill animals... as a sport.” “What kind of sport is that? That’s nothing but brutal killing.” I agree with her one hundred percent. “I know Applejack. I myself don’t like the idea. I only hunt for food. You know… surviving. But as a sport not so much. Not every human likes the idea of hunting animals for fun. But… look humans have a bad history of war and violence. The home schooled kid left all of his books in his room so you’ll see but, first we have to find Twilight.” “Ok.” They followed the path of hoofprints. Two cliffs were narrowing down each other. “Looks like she went through here.” I kept looking down on the ground. There was something different with the ‘bread crumbs’ Twilight left behind. Paw prints were besides the hoofs and the distance between each print was further with every length. Shit. AHHHHHHHH! Applejack pushed beside me. “That sounded like Twilight!” we heard a roar after the screaming. “Come on I think that was a mountain lion!” we ran as fast as we could. We exited the narrow path and into a small closed opening. We stood on a small hill. “Twilight!” the unicorn looked at us and shouted. Reacting quicker than I did. The farmer pony dashed right passed me and slid down the hill. “Applejack please help me!” “Don’t worry sugar cube I’ma comin.” She jumped in front of the unicorn and gave the oversize cat a buck in the face. But it turned around getting ready to attack then it jumped but I tackled it before it got close to them. “Guys are you o…ahh!” “Tommy!” the lion jumped on my back and shredded my backpack then I turned and punched it across the face. I took off my sweater and rolled it around my left arm. “Come on you fucking oversized house cat.” It jumped and I placed my arm in front of me and I kicked it to the ground. I was drawing out my gun but the lion clawed my right hand and bit my left leg. I kicked it and I took out my Marine knife and stabbed it on the head. “Ah fuck my leg!” I looked around and saw the two ponies running toward me. Twilight said to me as I wrapped a piece of cloth around the leg wound. “Oh my goodness Tommy your hand. Your leg!” You too. I barely know you stop calling me Tommy. “It’s fine the cat only bit my skin not the bone.” Applejack said me. “Come on let’s get you home.” I looked at her body size. I was taller a probably denser a body than her’s. “But can you carry me?” “With the two of us we can. Well ah can since ah am stronger than Twi.” The two placed one arm around them and carried me we walked past the dead cat We made our way back to the house. I was beginning to see the street so I told them to stop. I looked on both side for any cars only two passed by. The coast was clear. “Ok it’s clear let’s go.” We rushed to the house. God the leg wound was hurting like a bitch. I haven’t felt pain like this since I was in my last battle. We entered the house. I only saw Rainbow who was laying on the couch. She said sarcastically “Oh look you found her.” I was still pissed off at her so I shouted back at her. “Shut the fuck up Rainbow Dash I’m in no mood for your bullshit!” We entered the kitchen where Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armor were sitting around the table. Luna saw us come in she didn’t noticed my injury. Luna said to us. “Oh you found he… oh my what happen to your leg!?” Applejack responded. “Tommy found Twilight with a mountain lion so he protected us even if it took his life…” she stopped like she realized something. “… but why did you do it Tommy.” I barely manage to answer her. “Applejack… I’m a soldier… it is my duty to protect the innocent from any kind of danger.” I unwrapped the cloth I had around my leg and I began to clean the wound of my hand then I moved to my leg. The blood still kept falling. “Shit I have to see a doctor.” Cadence saw how bad the injury was so she suggested. “Wait Tommy maybe Twilight can help.” She turned to Twilight who was freaking out at the puddle of blood under my leg. “Twilight do you know any healing spells?” “Yes but I don’t want to hurt Tommy. I-I-I-I-I-I don’t want to make a mistake with Tommy’s leg like I did back in Equestria.” I had to say something about this. I was dying. I said to her. “Twilight not helping me will be the mistake you can at least try I trust you but hurry.” I was losing blood and I began to feel cold and I was shivering. Applejack drew closer to me. She looked at me and she asked me. “Tommy what’s wrong?” Applejack placed her hoof on my forehead. “Why do you feel cold?” “I…I’m losing bl…blood if you don’t hurry I will bleed to death.” Applejack turned to Twilight. “Twilight ya have to help him now!” “But-but what if I do something his leg! We saw what happen in Equestria! Because of me he’s hurt!” “Damn it Twilight forget about what happen back there just heal him!” “I-I-I-I-…” Cadence walked up to Twilight and she placed her hoof on her shoulder. She said to her. “Twilight you need to help him. He saved your life and he treated your brother. If he dies we will be lost here.” Twilight looked at me and then Cadence. She took a deep breath and said. “Ok.” She walked up to me. “Tommy this is a healing spell that I normally use back home. I never used it on anything but a pony. You might feel some pain and you might blackout as well.” she placed her hoof under my chin and she lifted my head to her face. “Stay with me ok.” “Ok.” “You saved my life and I must save yours.” I saw her horn glow in a red aura then the aura formed around my leg. God for a healing spell it hurt like hell. When the aura died out I blacked out. Suddenly I opened my eyes to see that I was in the master bed room.
