An eyelid began to open up as vision began to blur but once regain it, he only saw was a forest. A forest with trees that covered parts of the shining sun with vines that dangling down a bit as noise of creatures was heard in the far out of any direction. He slowly getting back up a bit and rubbing his head, he felt dizzy a bit as strangely he tried to stand up on a hind legs but to no avail as he trip and fall down. He then trying to get back up to his hind legs again but luckly he able to find a nearby tree to use as support as he saw a pond. He then close his eyes and began to think.
Where am I.........Who am I.............Why can't I remember............
Open his eyes a bit, he then trying to head to the lake only to wobble a bit but able to land on four hooves.....wait hooves? Decide to question once get to the pond, he then carefully walk a bit which at first he began to lose balance at the result of falling down, but he manage to get up and walk carefully a bit until got a hang of it. Once he got to it, he then found his reflection : a tan coat cover his face and body and his muzzle is longer while his 'hair' is a lime green that on his top was clean with little ones sticking out and his back has spiking upwards and his behind legs is a mark of a white then bluish hexagon shaped. But what's strange is he have a horn on his forehead and pairs of wings with the same tan color coat.
Am I......a horse? No.....there're much bigger so, maybe......I'm a pony......yeah that must be it. he thought to himself, touching his face a bit. Then who am I........why I'm a pony............
John.........
He perks up with a strange voice echoing to his head. John? Is that my name? his mind asked.
John........John...........John...........John...........John........
"Guess that's my name......." he muttered quietly a bit still unsure of this."But why I'm a pony?" He then gaze the clear sky morning as he sighed a bit, feeling a little refreshed a bit. As he turn around to look around, something caught his eyes. A book was on the grassy area. What's a book doing here? And why I get the feeling of I had to have it?
He then walk to it and pick it up at first he had hard time to grab with his hooves but he somehow got it. It was an old book but with no title on the cover as he turn the page, he found it that it was blank. Blank and blank to all pages. I don't get it..........why this book is empty........
He then hold on to it as he now headed to the deeper parts of this forest. I guess I can look around.......perhaps there're maybe somebody here who can help me.......
Meanwhile in the mountain range of Canterlot castle a purple alicorn mare with a dark purple mane with two streaks, one light pink and one light purple, purple eyes, with a liac coat along with a pair of wings and a starburst mark on the rear legs, was studying in a huge library full of books, from every books that re shelves in a perfect order. As one of a stacks of books that you can say be tall, the top one cover in a pinkish glow as it levitate to her. She then flipped the pages until she found the page and start reading it.
"Let's see........a princess must balance her royal duties and her own time.........." She then skimmed a few pages a bit, collecting every details that her mind process.
"Studying as usual, eh Twilight?" a voice was heard as she turned around, a baby dragon with light purple scales and a green spikes with a moderate pistachio eyes, was looking at her holding a scroll that goes longer.
"Spike," She smile at him, her number 1 library assistant " yeah, just trying to refresh some of the royal duties that this book had after we got my crown from the alternative dimension."
"Yeah, it's been 2 months from that. " he grumble a bit, remembering turning into a dog but quickly hold change his mood. "But at least things are back to normal here in Equestria. No dealing with embodiment of darkness, Deity of Chaos (well we already made him good, but still being annyoning), stop an evil queen bugs, restore a lost kingdom from an evil king, and save both ours and the alternative too from Sunset Shimmer. Yep just our r and r time."
"Well, not yet it's not." Twilight muttered.
"What do you mean?" Spike asked her. There another forces that rising again in Equestria? Aw man just for once that he wished he can stay at the library to get some r and r.
"Well Princess Celestia and Princess Luna reported me that strange anomalies are spreading around in Equestria. Do you remember the Dragon's Migration?" Spike nodded. "Well for unknown reason, the dragons had gone berserk and there's a possibility that it might attacked Ponyville. Then there was rumored that ponies began to see strange ghost of bipedals, might be similar to the alternatives starting to do strange things, and finally there also report that some of the ponies began to disappeared without a trace or any clues to what cause them."
"What?! Don't tell me that Rarity is gone again?! I don't want to happen again from that Nightmare Rarity event!" Spike exclaimed at this.
"No, Rarity is here along with our friends and the Crusaders." Spike then sighed a bit, wiping out the sweat of him. "However, even the Royal Guards tried to find the cause of this, they still unable to find the missing ponies." Twilight then look at the window, sadden at this.
"So what we going to do now?" Spike asked, patted her shoulder and tried to console her.
"Well, until we know what we're dealing with, we need to report of the strange anomalies and be careful." Twilight stated, close the book and start to re shelve the stacks back to book shelves. Spike, then help with her as it felt like a hour, they finally clean the Canterlot library.
"There, done and done. Now let's back home and gets some rest." he said, starting to yawn a bit, scratching his back of his head. Twilight nodded as they now headed to the train station.
"Twilight, you know you can use your wings now. We don't need to take the train back to Ponyville." Spike asked.
"I still need to take more of Rainbow's flying lesson if I want to use my wings." Twilight stated as they pay two train tickets and headed to the train. As the train's whistle now blows, the engine of the train now set out to Ponyville.
"I wonder if I can find somebody who can help me......", he muttered as he continue trekked to the forest. But so far, only that he find is only trees and trees. No creatures or any pony kinds here.
Then he start to hear a rumble as he touch to his stomach, it start to rumble. Great, now I need food........ he sighed at this. Unless there's maybe fish or meat......wait meat? Ponies don't eat meat, John! There 're vegetarian!
He start to close his eyes and think. Let's see ponies eat hay, apples, and carrots...... so do they eat grass? Guess I find out myself.
He then taken a bite from the grass and start to chewed slowly. At first he thought he going to spit it out and feeling something gross to his taste buds, but instead he found it good.
"Huh? Not bad." he take another bite at this and start to eat like he haven't ate anything when he woke up here in the forest. After taken a few bites from it until half of the grass is now left with soils, he then take a sip from the lake.
"Ahh, that's good." he said, feeling refreshed as he then began to walk around at the forest. For the past 3 hour, he kept going deeper and deeper into the forest as he examined more of his surrounding, but unfortunately, he couldn't find anyone here. As he felt unsure of where he was, he decide to camp here. With some of unknown knowledge he found some of the twigs, branches, and some stones. Once he set the branches and the stones for the campfire, he then use the remaining rocks and angle them right, he began stuck them to give sparks on the branches. At the first didn't work and the second, third, and the fourth, but eventually sparks now light up and the branches began to be consumed by the fire.
He then continue to walk around to find more branches as he found more and more but then a smell hit him, causing him to gagged and plug his nose.
"What the hell is that stench?!" he asked, still plugged his nose as the smell was getting worst as he found the traces of the stench : from the dense of the trees, a green eye was staring at him with a menacing glare as more of those green eyes came as it came out of the shadow, he was terrified to know what they are. Wolves that are made of woods. Wooden Wolves! Or better yet, Timberwolves!
He starting to backed away slowly as those monsters with their wooden teeth and their snarling, starting to pounce but he quickly dodge it as he began to run fast as he could as the monsters began to give him chase. The wolves howled as began to snarling at him.
"Ah, God!" he screamed as he kept jumping out of their jaws that are snapping at him while getting close. Even then he dare turn back and saw them gaining at him. The chase lead him out of the until he found him blocked by a wide river that he might not even jumped. A dead end. He turn back and saw them surrounding him.
"Ah, God, what do I do?!" he asked to himself. What can I do? I just woke up with no memories of how I got here and now I'm going to be the wolves' meals!
One of them ready itself to pounce the trapped pony. John felt his heart began to sink down into despair as he close his eyes, preparing for the end.
Sombody.......Anybody.....please.........help me..........his mind pleaded for unknown reason, a miracle to happen. And such as that, a voice was heard but this time of a girl. A young girl.
The book.
Open the book.
Open his eyes after hearing the voice, he open it and suddenly the forest starting to 'static' around once he open the book, then as the pages began to wildly turn, the blank pages began to filled up with words as he felt a violent earthquake around him, causing the forest to rumbled and spread around of town.
A cottage began to feel the rumble as a shy and timid pegasus came out quickly and saw all of the animals critters began to panicking.
"Oh my goodness, what's going on?!" she asked as she tried to take them to safety.
At a big red farm, the tremor began to shake violently as a orange pony mare with golden mane and a stetson came out of the farm and saw a apple orchards began to drop many apples down.
"What in tarnation?!" she exclaimed by this event. "What the hay is going around here?!"
As more of perhaps, family member coming out, they seek shelter at the basement as she closed it down.
Inside of a gingerbread house near to the town, everything starting to shake violently as two ponies rushed out and ducked under the table along with the two foals. Along with that, a pink pony with a magenta cotton candy mane bounce panicking and hid there too. Then all of them gasped as this horror as cakes flopped down and splatted on the floor, stuff coming down and so on.
"Oh my goodness, it's the end of the world as well know it!" she screeched so loudly.
In a Carousel house that also caught on the tremor, a snow white unicorn with a purple curly mane witness the clothes began to drop down on the floor, along with hearing the noise of something breaking from the kitchen and saw a smaller snow white unicorn with a curly mane of grayish mulberry and a light grayish rose streaks. She quickly embrace her with a tearful eyes.
"Rarity, what's going on?! I'm scared!" she weep at her neck as the loud tremor continue to ransacked.
"I don't know, but we need to get under the table quickly!" With that, both of them headed to the kitchen and ducked under it hopefully to keep them safe from what ever is causing the tremor.
At a treehouse library, being caught on the tremor, Twilight was mortified by every books fall down to the floor as everything starting to fall down too. She then saw Spike starting to hide under the table on the kitchen, feeling scared.
"Twilight, over here!" he shouted to him. "Quickly before this place is collapsing!"
With a quick gallop, she hurried and hid under the table with him as he began to curled up into a ball, rocking like crazy.
"How did a Equequake happen?! That never happen only once every 10 years!" Twilight muttered by this catastrophic mess continue to rain down onto the library.
"I hope that everypony is all right...." she muttered, feeling that most of the ponies got into the safe zone from this strange Equequake.
As the book began to spread out strange symbols out of it and causing the forest to become white, feeling of the book is going haywire and making his hooves hurt, he threw it out, but then the book somehow shot out strange words out of it as his front right hoof magnetic absorb it so much that his body began to feel numb a bit. After that, his body began to shook violently, feeling the effect of the book began to take on hold on him. Then strange symbols attached to his front legs as he was enveloped in some kind of.......data. Then it began to materialize around him along with that as with breakage of the data, he found himself wearing a orange clothes with a belt wrapped around him, a brown armor cladding under it to lead of making a brown, grey and light brown boots. Along with that, his cutie mark remained the same only with the additional of two swords making a X. Finally his face now have two triangler patterns onto his cheek and he now wear a strange hat with a strange symbol on the front and to the top was a yellow zig-zagged.
The wolves moved backed at this event as John's right arm starting to glowed and now enveloped in some kind of data wings with wings like pieces coming out as a purple star was showed on the middle. He unexpectedly jumped higher that he was almost touching the sky and 'aim' his arm at the timberwolves. With more static happen around the forest, he somehow screamed at them. As if he knows of this event. "DATA DRAIN!"
With a wires of data now blasted off from his arm, it direct at the wolves and impaled their bodies, hurting them in the process. Suddenly, a green energies began to come out of the wolves and being absorbed into his arm. With a screamed, he fall down to the ground, grunted a bit and was shocked to see something else : The once living timberwolves was now encased of stones.
"Wha....what.....did....." he mumbled before he felt like he's about to faint as stumbled and fall down to the lake, causing him to dive down into the lake and being pulled to the depths.
What was this power? Why it looks so.........familiar? his mind asked of these questions before being lost into a comatose. Suddenly from the dark depths, a shadowly figure of a pony grabbed him with what to appear to be...........a familiar purplish star colors that blacken the night.
