//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: The First Step // Story: Foreknowledge // by Mr_Hippopotomonstroses //------------------------------// Chapter 3: The First Step I opened my eyes but instead of my house I saw nothing but an endless dark void in this abyss I resided. I got up and saw a small screen being projected in front of me. Nano Bot Data Absorption 18% I'm asleep? I'm asleep and I am aware of it... OK I have seen weirder. Maybe I can contact Luna. I was wondering what to do until I woke up. I tried to summon the data bank into my dream. Another screen came to me. It showed the Nano band's data. Apparently there have been allot of jumpers going into HKU's because I saw several show's, series, even anime. There was Sword art Online HKU, Attack on Titan HKU, Danny Phantom HKU,Deadman Wonderland HKU, Dextor's Laboratory HKU, and several others. I could only recognize a few, but thankfully allot of them where named. Each of these HKU's where thoroughly scanned from the wearers band and stored into the data bank. I scrolled through as my scenery changed to a starry night sky in a field, hey what other way to get the attention of a Night Goddess? I scrolled through my new creatures too take form of. There where hundreds new forms I could take. I took a look at the other screen Nano Bot Data Absorption 32% I was there for about half an hour until I got board and summoned something from the AoT universe. 3-D Maneuver Gear. I always wanted to use this when I was fourteen. Since my body stays this age I guess I got what I wanted. My scenery changed from the field to the Trost District. I wanted to test it out so I didn't put any titans or civilians. It was when I changed the scenery that I felt her presence, but I did not pay attention. I wanted to use this gear. It was not as hard as I thought... that or my dream made it easier for me... or the nano bots gave the me information... to many variables in life. I did one lap through out the district and stopped at the wall. I heard Luna's hoof steps and I decided to turn around. "Hello, Princess Luna" Now that caught her way off guard. The expression on her face was hilarious as fuck though so I couldn't help but laugh. After a while she regained her composure and gave me the stare. "Hello, Night Wing" "Oh, so you know to? Did Twilight tell you?" "No, we saw you first. We then alerted our sister, who then told Twilight." "Oh so it was you." I said that last bit extending my two swords on my gear, one pointing at her face. She seemed unfazed but I could see fear and alarm in her eyes. What? I have been trained to read some ones emotions about four moths in project 501 when I was with senpai... That and these ponies are terrible emotion hiders. "Yes it was us." I walked up close to her, fear now visible even to the untrained eye on her face. I let my gear disappear and replaced the scenery back to the starry night in the field. If I know Luna, she will be trying to... "Tell me Luna, are you planning to catch up to modern time language?" "...Yes, we are going to.." I cut her off by summoning a small gizmo and put it on her throat. She panicked and reared back landing on her ass. She looked in alarm until she glared at me. "What is the meaning of this!?" "You said you wanted to learn modern day language. That device simply corrects it by sending neurological transmission to your head that corrects what you want to say and sends it back to the gizmo I put on you and making you use modern day language." She was beyond lost, that was when I remembered. She was centuries off and this planet was still Level 1. Earth was a fully established level 5 planet while the Illuminati was a level 21 society. Hey that much tech could destroy our world in more ways than one so we hid and protected it. It helps when we can use a neurological transmitter to erase parts of the brains memory. But I digress. "It basically means it corrects your words to be modern times" "I did not know ponies have the capability to make such things." "No, they cant actually." "So it is not a real achievement? Ponies have not the capability to make this?" "No, and no." "So it is just apart of the dream, it is not possible." "Yes, and yes it is." "But you said..." "Luna I said ponies can't do this. Humans, my species that is, have the capability to make it possible with the right materials." "And you have the magic to make this?" I smirked at that comment. "No I do not" "But you said..." "I don't have the magic, no. Butt that is the glory of Humans. We don't have magic, everything we do is pure machinery." The screen suddenly glowed bright red. I looked at the screen. Nano Bot Data Absorption 99% I looked back at Luna "Well I will wake up soon. Luna can you do something for me?" "Only if you can truly make me this device." "Deal, tell Celestia to come to ponyville, tell her it is an emergency. I have some things to say to her. If you want you can also come but I can also explain it to you the next time I see you in my sleep" "I think it would be best if I stayed at the castle. I will tell my sister to go to ponyville. Where will you be?" "I will be with twilight at the library. I have some explaining to give her as well." "Very well. It was nice talking to somepony else. Good bye Night Wing" "Nice talking to you, goodbye Luna, till we meet again." The screen read 100%, as I slowly woke up. All that knowledge in your head hurts. I will have to be careful and not over think things. That would be bad for a number of reasons. I slowly got up. I packed my stuff and changed. That's when I noticed. My memory, thanks to the nano bots, was completely clear. I could remember everything. I even remembered reading all those HiE fics. This would be useful information. I knew reading all those fics was not a waste of my time... even if it was at the cost of my Spanish class grade... it proved useful information that's what matters! In my position I don't see them as a story, but a potential future and alternate timeline for the ponies and I. I was in my earth pony form as I left. I decided to gather my home and store it in my nano band. My coat was still black since I wore dark clothing. What can I say, I like dark clothing. Dark cloths and a black sweater. I liked darkness and fire. Oh fuck i'm getting side tracked again, piece of shit. So anyway... I let my home slowly divide itself as the nano bots where absorbed into my band. I walked back to ponyville. It was around two in the afternoon when I arrived at the library. I walked up to the door and knocked. "Spike can you get that?" "Sure thing Twilight." I waited until I saw spike at the door. He eyed me as if he wanted to say something but decided not to. He let me in. I walked around the library looking at the books they had. I looked until Twilight walked up to me and started talking "Have we met?" "Yes but I was a completely different person when we did" "Hmm, you remind me of some one I knew." "One minute and forty two seconds." "What?" "It took you one minute and forty two seconds to suspect me, I honestly thought you would take longer, I under estimated you." "What?... Would you mind telling me who you are?" "Not at all. I am Night Wing" "No your not, Night wing is a pegasus." "Wow you are racist..." "Wha....?" "Just because I don't have wings I cant be Night Wing?...Fine you racist unicorn i'll be a pegusus." "You can't just be a pegasus" "Bitch, trying to tell me what I can and can't do? Stand back and watch. Nano band, transform; Pegasus!" Twilight just stared at me like I was crazy or some shit but then stared in amazement and confused as the nano bots slowly mad me wings. It took four seconds for the nano bots to complete the wings. It took Twilight a couple minutes to regain her thought though. It was funny as hell. Once she regained her composure she tried to get a grip on me with her magic but I just flew around the house avoiding her. She grew tired from the excessive magic being used to get me. I flew to the kitchen and got water for her. "Water?" "*pant* sure *pant*" She didn't notice what I did until after she finished drinking. When she did she looked at the water like it was poison. Yeah it was funny as fuck dude. While I was rolling on the floor laughing she used magic to secure a grip on me. Though I was still laughing my ass off. "OK, Night Wing. Now you will be answering all of my questions and some more." I laughed even harder at that. Not only did what she just say not make any fucking sense, that was what I was going to do regardless. That laughing fit probably made me look insane but fuck it. I was laughing my ass off as she called spike to send a letter. "Spike please send a letter to ask Celestia to come, tell her it's an emergency." "Spike, chill bro you don't have to tell Celestia anything. I told Luna to tell Celestia to come here." "Don't believe him Spike, he is just trying to find a way out of this." "Twilight I know you won't believe me but just hold on for a few minutes and wait for Celestia, if she doesn't show up you can ca-send a letter to her." "Ugh, fine i'll give you one chance, but if she doesn't show up I will..." Twilight was cut off by a blinding light. As my eyes adjusted I saw that Celestia had teleported in here and had cut off Twilight. "HA, great timing Celestia." "So you are this weird creature Luna told me about... you don't look all that weird to me." "That's because this isn't my normal form." "Normal form?" "Just do as I say and I will explain everything OK?" "Of course" "But princess! We shouldn't trust him!" "Everypony should be given a chance Twilight" "But princess!" "No but's Twilight. Now you may proceed sir..?" "My pony form is called Night Wing, princess" "Proceed Night Wing." "Thanks Tia. Now where is Spike?... Yo! Spike! come here for a sec will ya?" "Um, sure Night Wing. What is it?" "Get that glass cup and stand here, facing the door way." "Um, OK... now what?" "I want you to throw the cup at the door at the count of three" "What!?" "Ignore her just do it, I promise it won't break." "We did say we would do as he says Twilight" "Umm, Twilight?" "....Do as he says Spike..." "Good, now Spike on three ready?" "Sure I guess." "OK, Twilight, Princess, put a hoof on my back" "What? Why?" "Just do it." ... heh Nike much? No? Any one?... anyway...They did as I asked. OK, if my guess is right, since they are touching me and they are living creatures my band should also apply to them, if not I will have the glass cup as proof. "OK ready?" Celestia,Twilight and Spike all nodded their heads in agreement in unison. I guess they can do things in unison, still it's weird when you look at it. "OK, One... Two.. THREE!" Spike threw the glass, just as I had asked. Hey that rhymed... better not be a thing I do now here in pony world. "Nano band, activate Hyper-Time!" As I said those words everything around us slowed down to the point where it looked as if time stopped. The glass cup that was thrown hung in the air still half way until it hit the door. I looked back at Twilight and Celestia. Celestia seemed chill about it, impressed if anything. Twilight looked like she would faint right there and then so I laughed again at her expression. Twilight snapped out of it and hit me where my shoulder should be. I was still laughing a little as I apologized. "Ow, okay okay, sorry" "Fascinating, what did you do Night Wing?" "Did you stop time?" "No, thats not it. Look at the cup, its still moving." "It is? Oh yeah but only a little. Man Spike has a good arm if it can still be seen moving in Hyper-Time. Even if it's only small movement." "So what did you do?" "We have entered Hyper-Time" "What?" "Right... level 1 planet, have to explain stuff now" "You said that this is not your normal form. Care to explain?" "Oh, of course. Nano band, transform Human" My band slowly let nano bots around my body as both Celestia's and twilight's eyes where on me. I was waiting to grow but no. All the opposite, I shrank. "This is your normal form?" " What NO! Why is my voice different. And why am I a midget?... oh God i'm Dexter. God FUCKING damn it, I forgot I had other human forms, not cool. Thanks allot nano band, you trolled me. Ugh, Nano band, transform Original form" ...Wait some one actually scanned Dexter?... OK now I have a smart ass kid as a form in my data bank. Weird... anyway...With the nano band trolling me done, I grew until I was my normal height and and body. Still my fourteen year old body. The fact that it was my old body is what makes the experience weird. "Now, this is my normal body." "What are you?" "I am what is called a Human, or Homo Sapian which means wise-man. Which ever you prefer." "Humans must have powerful magic in order to accomplish this!" "No Twilight, he can't be using magic. I can not sense any magic radiating off of him, meaning he has no magic." "No magic? That's impossible, everything in equestria has some magic." "Which will lead to the question of where I came from. I am not of this universe." "Hah! The multiverse is a theory, and a shaky one at that." "Oh, that theory exist here?" "Of course it does!" "Hmm, that theory is mostly for a level 2 planet, not level 1... I should check that later..." "What do you mean a level 2 and 1 planet?" "That is how we classify a planets technological and mental advancements. My home world in my universe is a fully established level 5 planet." "What classifies a level?" "Who is the we you talk about?" "Why did you come here?" Curiosity killed the cat... that is not the case here, the ponies curiosity killed the human. These ponies can ask allot of questions in a short amount of time. With the Hyper-Time device I had allot of it. I explained every question with as little information as possible to stop further questions and keep myself as mysterious as possible. One wrong word at the wrong time can screw up an entire timeline. They finally stopped their questioning as I de-activated Hyper-Time. Spike was startled from my Human form so I just went back to a pegusus. My nano band had scanned Celestia so now I had an alicorn form but I wasn't going to let them know that. Twilight let me sleep in her spare room, only so she could study me further but fuck that. I was to tired from the Q&A I just went upstairs, climbed in the bed and passed out. In my dream, of course, Luna came. I just let what had happened and how I explained everything on a big TV for Luna to watch. I just lay on the floor. This day went better than I hoped. They still don't know that I know their future. I should probably tell Celestia about Discord's soon to be escape. Man all this knowledge in one place still hurts. So many devices, so many theory's proved wrong and write, so many... Hey I know the recipe for Coke! I know what i'ma make.
