I hated these slow days. Work was a bore, as always. Unlike a lot of other people in the beginning I actually liked my desk job. It was interesting to begin with, but it had slowly become like all the other jobs I had worked at before. At least I was finally going home. I could always find excitement in video games.
As I drove home I thought about my friends I always talked with while playing. There's Barry, who loves Nintendo and is always playing a Nintendo game. He lives the farthest away, but he's the most skilled out of all of us. Then there's Shane, my roommate who I'm always either fighting with in real life or in a video game. He tried to always argue that Mortal Kombat was better than Street Fighter. There's also Garret. I honestly don't know much about Garret. What I do know is that he's hiding something from us, but I don't know what. He's been playing Grand Theft Auto most recently.
Even though I enjoyed playing games with friends I always wished for some more...excitement. I noticed a bright flash out of the corner of my eye and saw a what looked like a shooting star in the night sky.
I opened my eyes and saw green. That's not right, I groaned as I started to stand up. Eventually I decided to get up my classic way, jumping up. Putting all of my strength into the jump I put my heads by my head and sprang myself up, and instead jumped through a tree. My mind slowly started to take in the situation. "The hell?" Is all I could think of saying.
I looked behind myself and saw that, indeed I jumped through a tree. Now noticing the tree I saw that around me was a forest. The forest was relatively light and seemed to be very peaceful. In fact just as I said that I noticed a little squirrel come up to my feet. I bent down and picked it up. "Are you not afraid of me?" I asked it even knowing that it wouldn't know what I was saying.
It chirped happily and leaped off of my hand. I watched as it dashed into the forest. I could see around me that there was animals watching me. I looked at myself and saw that I was wearing what looked like a white gi with a black belt. I also saw out of the corner of my eye that I had a red headband. It was also now that I noticed how much more muscle I had. I mean I wasn't unhealthy but compared to what I look like now I would look unhealthy. All in all I noticed that I looked exactly like Ryu from Street Fighter.
I started to look around noticing something. This place looked familiar. I couldn't place where I had seen it though. I decided to start walking East and see where that would take me. While I was walking I started to think about how I got here. All I was doing was playing a fighting game with Shane and then...a bright flash of light, I thought, and before that it flashed every color of the rainbow. The place still seemed familiar but I knew that I had never been here before.
After a while I got over a hill and saw... apples? Again it seemed as if I had been here but I know that I don't remember it looking like this. Then I noticed the way that they were placed. They were in rows as if the apple trees were a part of an orchard. Apple tree orchard... I was in Equestria. In My Little Pony. I hadn't kept it much of a secret that I liked My Little Pony to my friends and they had responded pretty well. The only thing they said was just to not bring it up when we were fighting. So I kept it to myself.
I wasn't completely sure of it but it was a better guess than anything else. I pinched myself. Not a dream, I should probably go and talk to the owner. Who was probably Applejack, if I was in Equestria. It was after a lot of walking that I finally saw the iconic barn from the show. I didn't know how to go about this, would I just waltz up knock on the door and say 'Hi I know almost everything about you, care to invite me in?'
Well I have to sa-"STOP IT NOOOW!!" My thoughts were interrupted as a scream sounded out. I looked towards the way that the scream came from and saw Ponyville and the top of a monster's head. Specifically, Bowser's head. I wasn't going to question why Bowser was in Ponyville but I knew that I had to do something to stop him. But what can I do? I looked at the clothes I was wearing and got an idea. A stupid idea. Maybe I have the powers of Ryu! It was a thought that might lead to my demise but at this point I didn't care.
I took off running towards Ponyville seeing Bowser battle with someone or something. As I was only a couple steps away from Ponyville I was hit by an object. As I got up I saw that it was a girl. She was wearing what looked to be blue shorts with a blue jacket and a white shirt. She seemed athletic and had rainbow hair. Oh also she had blue fur and wings. Well their not ponies, I thought, "Or at least not the ones I'm thinking of." I could tell that this was Rainbow Dash. She got up and took off towards Bowser again.
I dashed towards Ponyville faster than I had begun. After what seemed to be a minute of running through streets I crossed the corner of the next building just in time to see a girl, wearing a purple skirt and vest, slash Bowser's arm with what I presume to be magic. This must be Twilight, judging by her wings and the magic she is using. "Get away from my friend!" Twilight shouted, as she shot out three bursts of magic from her hands.
Bowser charged at her with surprising speed and waved off the three attacks like they were nothing. Twilight's hands lit up and she was soon behind Bowser. Her hands lit up again and started to slowly get brighter. When Bowser finally turned around she let the magic loose. As it started to fly towards Bowser it started splitting up into individual blasts that moved faster. At the last second the blasts converged together to form one giant blast that exploded into Bowser's chest. Smoke all around the battlefield. Twilight wiped her brow and turned the other way and started walking towards an unconscious Rainbow Dash.
Bowser jumped out of the smoke and landed behind Twilight. Finally shaking myself out of my daze I willed my legs to start moving toward her. As Bowser pulled basck his arm to punch her I jumped out in front of her. "Take your friend and run!" I shouted at her. Twilight finally turned around and saw what was happening. She picked up Rainbow Dash using magic and moved out of the way. Bowser finally brought his fist forward and I caught it in my hands. I was pushed back by the movement and saw that I had made dents into the cobblestone path. Still holding on to his fist I started to lift him up. I pulled it to the right and started to spin him around. After around five spins I let go of him. Bowser soared through the air before he smashed into the side of a building.
As he got up he and shook his head he caught sight of me. He roared and charged at me. I ran towards him before finally sliding under him. I grabbed onto his tail and heard him growl at me. I lifted him over my head and slammed him into the same building. Bowser roared at me as he stood up again. His eyes seemed to get a red glint to them and he took in a giant breath. I knew what was happening. I didn't know if I would be able to dodge the fire. Bowser would just have to breathe in my direction. So I did something stupid. I took my position. My right foot behind my left. Put back my hands, and shouted the famous line, "HADOUKEN!" As I shouted it I thrusted my hands forward, surprised that as I did so a blue energy wave shot out towards Bowser. He noticed and before he could breath fire the blast him in the chest.
"AHAHAHA!" Bowser screamed as he went flying through the air and straight into a giant clock tower. I breathed heavily. That really took a lot out of me, I started to notice that some more ponies were exiting their homes now. I guess that this was a world where they were people rather than ponies. They all stared at me in wonder. That REALLY took a lot out of me. I panted heavily and then said, "I guess I'm a hero," And then I fainted.
