Desert Ranger of Equestria

by Alpha777


Town tour and meeting with Royalty...wait, what? (Part 1)

The 5 ponies were a little surprise when they heard that Edward was a Desert Ranger and Rarity finally came to it from her 'dramatic faint' and the six offered Edward a tour in Ponyville. Edward decided that while he is here, he could get some R&R for a while and at the same time get to meet new peo ...er...ponies of the world he is at currently.

Edward and the Mane 6 finally reached to the edge of the forest and Edward was greeted by a beautiful view of the town. Twilight said after a moment of silence, "Welcome to Ponyville, Mr. Edward."

"Please, call me Edward instead, or just Edd, for short." Edward replied.

"Oh...uh...ok, sure." Twilight said, though she wasn't used to such strange names.

Rarity asks, "My apologies, but this...outfit...of yours is really bugging me."

"How so?" Edward asks.

"Well, your attire is hideous, no offence of course." Rarity said.

"None taken, besides, when your living in a living hellhole with everything and everyone wanting to kill you, well, let's just say that there are more important things than worrying about fashion, oh and excuse my language, I've happen to be a decendent to a certain type of people who are known to cuss a lot as well as drinking a lot and are known as the Irish." Edward replied. He then added, "Well I, myself, don't drink hardly because...well...let's just say that I didn't want to be killed by Raiders or something while being drunk off my ass."

The 6 was confused by his statement but they continued on towards Ponyville.

Edward talked to Applejack and said, "Hey, uh, Miss Applejack, Your accent kinda reminds me of a Southern accent back at the Mojave Wasteland where I came from."

"Really now, that is very interestin' and I've been wonderin', how did ya know Equish?" Applejack asked.

"Well, where I'm from, we call it English, so maybe our worlds have things in common." Answered Edward.

They arrived at Ponyville and went around town, meeting new ponies, and Edward caught site of a large tree that is made into a shelter of sorts. "What is that, there?"

"Oh, that there is my home, the Golden Oaks Library." Twilight answered.

Edward said, "Wait, you live in a library?"

Twilight answered, "Well yeah, you should of known that I am the one with the brains out of all my friends."

"Oh, right, forgotten about that." Edward said as he did a facehoof.

They continued on and went to an apple farm, which Edward figured to belong to Applejack, then to Rarity's boutique and Pinkie's bakery. They went to a cottage that Fluttershy lives at and what Edward saw shocked him. Her house was full of animals which he never expected to see at all but also gave him a more of a connection towards Fluttershy because he, admittedly, hates killing animals, mutated or not, and when he gotten an Animal Friend Perk, he was a little more happy to kill less animals as possible.

The tour came to an end and was getting late. Twilight offered Edward to stay at the guest room in her home. Edward willingly accepted it and continued on. Twilight asks, "If you don't mind me asking, why was your world at war? What was it about? What was the purpose of it? And against who?"

"Well, to answer your first question, it is in human nature to have wars because, well, we're not exactly perfect, to answer your second question, mostly, for the United States, is about Freedom, retaliation, to protect the innocent that is part of the U.S. or not, and to destroy the corruption of men. For your third, I don't really know, 'cause it has been over 200 years ago, in-fact, nobody knows actually. For your final question, we were against Chinese Communists." Edward answered.

Twilight was shocked for a few seconds but pondered on his second answer. 'Interesting, a country who fight wars to bring freedom, to retaliate, even to protect innocent people that they don't even know or even part of their kingdom, and against all evil people. Hm, maybe he may be willing to help us if we are in dire need if ask upon or even him offering his help toward us, just because his personality is very....compassionate...and dedicated.'

Twilight thought for a few moments and stopped when they reached the library. Edward and Twilight walked into the library and she quoted, "Well, home sweet home!"

Edward was speechless for a few moments and finally said, "That is a lot of books."

Twilight giggled at his quote and saw Spike coming down the steps.

"Hey, Twilight, how it goin-" Spike stopped at mid-sentence when he saw Edward while he wore his apparel and weapons.

Spike Ask Twilight, "Uhh, who is this guy?"

"Oh, don't worry, Spike, this here is Edward and he said he is a Desert Ranger. Me and the girls found him in the Everfree." Twilight said.

"Oh, in that case..." Spike said as he turned towards Edward and continued, "Hi, my name is Spike, Twilight's number one assistant. It's nice to meet you Edward."

Edward replied, "Hey, Spike, it's nice to meet you too. You know, you kind of remind me of one of those Deathclaws That I had to fight against, as well as one of those Fire Geckos."

Twilight and Spike looked at Edward with confusion and nervousness and Twilight asks, "A Deathwhat?"

Edward sighed and said, "A Deathclaw, one of the most dangerous and the most terrifying creatures of the entire wasteland. They were bio-engineered by our government to be used as weapons but they were set free when the bombs drop. They use their very large and razor sharp claws as weapons which could instantly decapitate you, thus the name. " Edward let out a sigh and simply said one word, "Idiots."

Twilight and Spike knew what he meant because they thought it was a stupid thing to do.

"And what is this 'Fire Gecko'?" Spike asks.

Edward replied, "Well you guys know about geckos right?" Twilight and Spike nodded. Edward continued, "Well after the bombs fell, the radiation from the bombs, which is very hazardous to almost all living things, mutated a lot of the wildlife including geckos. There are multiple types of those mutated Geckos like the regular types, golden, green, and those purple ones that are able to breathe out fire, thus the name. Also the mutations increases their size which is not a good thing."

Twilight and Spike look at each other and both thought that he might as well be very lucky that he was teleported to Equestria and away the dangers of his homeworld.
