	I woke up groggily.  Reaching to the side I tried to turn off my alarm.  In this moment I realized two things; One, My alarm wasn't sounding, Two, I wasn't in my bed.  My head shot up and my eyes opened as I looked around each second getting more and more frightened.  I was in a clearing that seemed to infinitely stretch on.  It would be a peaceful place if not for the situation I was currently in.  My breaths started to get more rapid and I wanted to crawl in my shell and hide.  Wait... Shell? Why did I think that  I thought as I reached up a claw to my head.  Claw...claw...CLAW?!?!?

I started to freak out and scream.  Instead of my normal scream what came out was a deep primal shout of rage that made myself jump.  Remembering what I was always told I started to slowly breathe...IN...OUT...IN...out...  There... now I needed to find out what was going on.  So let's make a list.  First, see what I've become.

I looked down at my now claws with amazement I clenched and let go. They're definitely mine,   I stared at my stomach which appeared to have what looked like the underbelly of a turtle.  At this time I noticed my  feet which were similar to a lizards feet except much thicker, they had three toes with claws extending out.  Looking back at my arms I noticed what appeared to be cuffs two on each arm.  I could also feel one on my neck.  Although I couldn't see it.  Feeling the rest of my face I determined that I had some sort of hair and horns.  As well as having sharp teeth in my mouth.  While I could not see my back I didn't need to, I knew what I was.  I was Bowser.  From Mario Bros.  Although I had no idea why.

Second, find out where I am.  While I was sure that people would not exactly be open with my appearance maybe I could convince them to help me out.  It was a long shot but I would much rather take that chance then have to survive on my own.  I needed to figure out a direction to start heading.  I found which way was the sun determined the direction and chose to head South.  Why?  Because I had a lucky feeling about South.  It might have also been the fact that there was smoke coming from that direction.

Of course I didn't even know if that was South.  Wherever I am could not even have directions.  Then it finally hit me.  This is a dream. I couldn't believe it took me so long to figure out.  Of course this is a dream!  I probably played too much Smash Bros. to the point where now I'm dreaming about it.  As I continued walking I got the thought of testing out my powers, if I had any.  I thought about and ended up on deciding to not.  

As I walked I thought about how beautiful the landscape looked.  Wherever I am must not have any industry,  I thought.  The endless grassland seemed too peaceful and unreal.  Deep in my subconscious I had a terrible thought Buuuurrrnnnn ittttt......  I pushed that thought down and tripped up a little my arms wobbling in the air as if to catch myself.  Where did that voice come from?  I needed to make sure not to think thoughts like that again.

I tried to remember again how I had got here but each time a sharp pain registered into my mind and I had to hold my head in my hands.  For some reason I couldn't remember.  Eventually I decided to account that for this being a dream.

Finally after a lot of walking I neared the town.  There was even a sign it said some gibberish I couldn't read, which I had expected, but under that it said 'Welcome To Ponyville!'  But... that should be impossible.  How could I read in a dream?  I calmed myself down and continued forward slightly more cautious.  I started to notice how tall I was compared to the buildings.  If I were to jump I would be able to see over the buildings.  

As I walked further into the town I saw no people around.  There wasn't any people, but there was whatever you called these.  They walked on two legs, like humans but unlike humans they didn't have skin.  I needed something to compare them to.  I guess horses would work.  Seeing how where human mouths would normally be, they had what seemed to look like horse muzzles.  I assumed from the way they were wearing clothes that they were intelligent.  A mare with a orange mane and lighter orange fur was walking nearest to me.  She had on what looked to be a blouse.  I walked up to her ready to talk to her.  "Excuse me?"  I began.

She turned around, her eyes widening to the sizes of dinner plates as she saw me.  Her mouth opened and she screamed "EVIL MONSTER!"   And turned and ran away.  Everyone else turned my way and had the same reaction.  Eyes widen, mouth open, scream.  I had to cover my ears with how much they screamed.  They were all screaming and running around randomly.  

I tried to tell them that I wasn't going to hurt them that I wasn't a threat but each time resulted in them shouting, "He's going to eat me!"  It was now that I started to get annoyed and started shouting at them.  I might have put too much power into the shout as the very Earth itself seemed to shake with the shout.  Before I was even able to do anything else I heard one of them shouting at me.  The mare that was shouting at me had cerulean fur.  She was wearing a blue pair of shorts and a blue jacket with a white shirt.  She looked to be an athletic type.  She had Rainbow colored hair and was glaring at me.  Also she had wings.  Why wings?  Could she fly?

"What are you doing in Ponyville you Monster?!"  She shouted at me.  I tried to say something but that insult affected me.  She called me a Monster and she didn't even know who I was or where I was from or what I was doing!  She just insulted me!   How could she!?  What gives her the RIGHT!?!  The voice which I had tried to hide started to rise again and I could feel myself shifting.  I started to get angrier and wanted to see her suffer.  But I knew it was wrong, I tried to push down the feeling but I couldn't and it overpowered and took control of me.  

I roared and charged at her in blind rage.  She easily sidestepped me and stuck her tongue out, saying something like "You're too slow," to which I threw a kick while she wasn't focused.  She got knocked through a building and flew back at me straight into my stomach to which I absorbed most of the blow.  I grabbed her and threw her into another building.  This time I charged at her winding up a punch, and just as expected she flew out again, except this time she flew straight into my fist punching her through another building.  Even I could tell she was getting exhausted and I picked her up positioning herself in front of me as I got ready the killing blow.  But was suddenly cut off by a purple glow.  That seemed to slash my arm.  I dropped the girl and turned to where the streak came from. 

I saw a purple furred girl who radiated with power.  She had on a skirt and a purple vest.  Her hair was purple with a lighter purple streak going through it.  She had wings just like the cyan girl but also had a horn that was currently glowing.  She leveled a glare at me and yelled "Get away from my friend!"
