//------------------------------// // Waking Up - SF - Ryu Chapter 2(BGR) // Story: Gamers on Equis: GAME RESET // by Opius Malikai //------------------------------// Screaming ringed in my ears. My eyes shot open and were met with red. A dark red. I attempted to pull whatever red thing that was on my face off but my hand felt only my face. I wiped at my eye and was met with clearness, but I wish I couldn't see. My hand had blood dripping down my arm, and I could only presume that the rest of my body was also covered in blood. The screams seemed to get louder and I could hear that they were closer. Taking a glance around I nearly threw up at the horrifying sight. Blood covered the walls hiding for the most part what was there, but the walls still showed. All around me the walls were moving, to a steady beat. THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP The sound alone was enough to make anyone mad. I heard the screams again and looked behind me to see the worst sight. The ponies I had seen were covered in blood. It oozed from their eyes and mouth. The screams they made were high-pitched and I could tell they were in agony. I saw a white path behind the crowd of former ponies. That's the way to go. I bet on that hope and walked forward. One of the ponies looked straight at me and I stopped dead in my tracks. It took a step towards me, strangely silent. That is until it let back it's head and let out a massive scream. It charged towards me brandishing what looked to be a scythe swinging at me. I couldn't even lift up my hand before my vision went black. I woke up screaming in the dark. For a moment I thought that the long nightmare was finally over, and that I was home. Sadly those thoughts were dashed instantly as a pony dressed in a lab coat came into the room. He had a brown coat and appeared to be worried about me, something I would not have expected. He went over to the lamp, and as light flooded through the room I got a better look at him. He had an even more brown mane, and bright red eyes. The lab coat he wore was white and bore a cutie mark on the pocket. The cutie mark was strangely what looked like an ocean. From what I could tell he was a Unicorn and he carried his clipboard with a bright red magic. An awkward silence filled the room before he seemed to muster the courage to speak to me. "A-Are you alright." He seemed unsure if I could even talk. "I...think so." I responded hesitantly He bore a look of surprise at my speech and took a while to speak again,"Well alright, if y-you need anything press the button on the s-side of your bed." He responded sounding scared of me, or scared of what I could do more likely, "I need to tell the Princess that you're awake, just stay right here." I looked at my bed and more specifically my arm. My arm was in a cast. I looked back at him then my arm before responding, "Where do you think I would go exactly?" By the time I had spoke though he was gone. Well then, I thought, I'm speaking with the princess. This could go one of two ways, either I have a way of going home, or I may never go to home. Even then what would happen if I did go home. Would I just go back to normal life with realizing that there is another world or dimension out there with the characters from My Little Pony except they look like the cross between a pony and a human, and be expected to not go insane just from this knowledge. What if I kept my powers. Would I just go around and whenever somebody gets in my way yell Hadouken and blast them away? So many questions and about half of the are dumb ones. Well at least I know one thing, I'm not going to make the mistake of ending up in bed with one of these ponies. That is most certainly not going to happen to me. Then the biggest question of all hit me. What was Bowser doing in this world? I didn't get the chance to fully think that question out before the door slammed open. Standing at the door, looking like she hadn't slept in a week, was Princess Twilight. She calmly pulled up a chair and stood by the bed. Twilight sighed and floated some papers over to her before starting to write on them. I coughed which seemed to finally draw her attention to me. "Hey." I said too casually, What was I thinking saying that! She's a princess for crying out loud., "Uh, sorry i meant to say, Hey your Majesty." I don't think that was any better. She took a long look at me before responding, "Hello." She held out her hand, to me and I slowly took it in mine and shook her hand. Twilight withdrew her hand and began to speak, "You don't have to do anything formal because I'm a Princess, or at least you don't have to bow or say anything special," She paused and took a long yawn, "To be honest I didn't think you would be waking up for a while, so I though I could have some sleep for just a little bit. Obviously not though. Ever since you fought that monster i've had to deal with a lot of issues coming up, one of the biggest being that ponies won't stop attempting to meet with you and thank you." Thank me? I would have expected more hostility. "But anyways, I need to fill out some applications so that way you can be allowed to leave this hospital among other things. They won't take too long." Two Hours Later "There! Finally we're all done." In between filling out all these papers, Twilight had had a pony bring some coffee up and the mood had drastically lightened up. It seemed as though in just a few short hours she had already begun to trust me. Although I wouldn't expect anything less from the Princess of Friendship. "So, Ryan you said?" I nodded, "Well Ryan now that you have your papers signed do you want to eat something I could surely do with some Breakfast." "You wouldn't believe how hungry I am right now." Twilight had only slightly been surprised when I spoke. Apparently Equestria is truly a stranger place than I would have ever believed. "Fighting a monster that big works up quite an appetite." Twilight and I hadn't talked about anything of where I had come from, as any time the question came up I always asked another question about Equestria that she was happy to answer. "Well I'm sure that we can get into a restaurant if we hurry there." Twilight said as she got up from her makeshift desk. While we were working she asked one of the nurses to bring in a table that she could put her papers on. The nurse had walked over to the closet and opened it revealing a folding table. Much to the surprise of Twilight and I. I slowly got out of bed and thankfully realized that I still had the same outfit on. After a short walk across town, with some stares from some ponies and Twilight hurrying us along from what looked like a mob near the doors of the hospital, we arrived at the restaurant. The restaurant was nice but was by no means fancy. Both Twilight and I asked for pancakes when the waiter came around and I was relieved to find out that they were actual pancakes. After our meal Twilight led me back to her crystal tree castle which wasn't hard to find as it stood out among all the buildings. The first thing I noticed inside the castle was just how massive the area was. The throne room with all the chairs was the first room but I noticed there was stairs leading upwards, probably to the bedrooms. Twilight walked over to her chair and sat down. "Oh, sorry. Please take a seat in this guest chair." I sat down. "I told my friends to meet here. So they should be here soon. We haven't thanked you for what you did for our town." "Well i can't exactly say no." A thought crossed my mind. "What happened to B-The monster?" "We had him taken to a temporary magic holding cell at the court. There's no way he can get out of that cell. I made sure of it." Suddenly the door burst open and in stumbled a frantic looking white coated unicorn stood there. She had a Purple mane that was currently a mess. I could only assume that this was Rarity, she had a purple skirt and purple vest with a white shirt. Her mascara ran down her face and she was currently crying. Rarity looked at Twilight and said one word, "Fluttershy."
