"Of course I meant it Wilson! Of all the nerve, you doubt me? Well, screw you then!.............................................. NO WAIT!! I'M SORRY!!" Cried Alex, as he hugged the life out of Wilson. Although he didn't have a life in the first place, but I digress. Alex cried into the night, or at least till he got too tired.
---------------------------------------------- ???????? ----------------------------------------------
"Haaaawwwwkkkk Eeeyyyyeeee......................" came a long deep voice, that echo'd chilling somewhere around Alex. Opening his eyes, his vision was very blurry. He could make out some colours, but is as far as it went. Slapping his face a little hard, his vision started to improve, but not that much. Like it couldn't focus, much like a camera can't focus properly if an item is too close or too far. After a few seconds, he could tell basic things, but what he saw (or what he could tell anyway) sent a chill down his whole body. Dead bodies. Littering the floor, like leaves on an autumn day, along with their blood. Some creatures he could tell what they were, while others, not so much.
"Hhhhaaaaaawwwwkkkkk Eeeeeyyyyyeeeee................" This time it was much closer. Looking to find the source, he craned his neck this way and that. No luck, he couldn't find what was saying it. Looking closure at the creatures on the floor, he regretted it as soon as he spotted it. It wasn't just the old that were dead, but creatures no older than 1 year, where with them. What had caused this? If it was a natural disaster, but a being instead. why would they do something like this? Alex felt something tap his shoulder, and he almost jumped out of his skin. He quickly turned around and found not a single soul there. Alex was now frightened, his heart racing, his mind trying to figure out what is happening.
"W-w-w-who's t-there?" Asked Alex shakily. Hugging himself, trying to calm himself down, while he waited for a reply.
He didn't have to wait long.
"Hhhhaaaaaawwwwkkkkk Eeeeeyyyyyeeeee!!!!" Alex almost died from fright with a mixture of shock / surprise. There was no mistaking it, the owner of the voice was right behind him. His eyes were bulging out, like in a cartoon. Slowly turning around, he was met with the scariest face he has ever seen. And he has seen the people who have had too much surgery, and thats saying something. He was so scared that he collapsed of fright, but before he could go into his subconscious, he saw something rushing towards his face, like a knife? No it was much bigger.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex wake up with a start. Sweating, like he just ran a marathon. Bringing his hands to his face, he rubbed his eyes. Scraping any sleep or “eye crusts” as its scientifically known as, from his eyes. His vision slowly retuning to him. Then in front of him, there was a spot. Light, a point of light. Alex stared at it for what felt like eons and then it started to grow. It grew and grew until it loomed over Alex and drew him forward, into it's awaiting embrace. Alex was blinded by the whiteness, but that gave way to weariness.
Alex collapsed where he once stood up. Alex coughed, as he took in fresh air for the first time in who knows how long. "Wait................... I can breathe?" He fluttered his eyes open, to find myself laying in a grassy area. Complete with flowers, of a variety of colour.
Alex tried to stand, his legs were weak from being in one place for too long. It was a shaky start, to trying to stand, but he got there eventually. Alex took in his surroundings. He was in some form of a grassy field that was decorated with flowers, and as such. Alex took a look down at himself, yep still in that same old costume from that stupid convention. His outfit was still in very good condition, his newly bought sword stopped onto his back. However something felt......... different. Where once the sword on his back was heavy, it was now lighter than a feather. Or at least it felt like it. Where once he thought he had a good eye sight, was now dwarfed by his new eye sight. It was like he had a small lens for his whole life, but now a large Altra-HD one. He could make out the small details on the tree, at least 100 yards away. Such as the texture of the bark, the small lady bug climbing up it.
He had to admit it, it was fricking awesome. Or he would at least, if he's wasn't starting to hyperventilate. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!!!!! FIRST I'M STUCK IN THAT VOID, PLACE THINGY, NOW THIS!!!.............................Ok Alex, breathe............. just breathe........... Thats it, calm down. Forget that you have super like eye sight.......................... Ok......... I'm calm, I'm good."
Looking around, he saw a pond or small lake not far from him. Slowly but surely, he made his way over towards it. Falling to his knees a few feet away, he crawled the rest of the way, and looked down at his reflection.
"I'M MIHAWK!!!!............... I've got to panic first. I need to get all the panic out of my system......"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I'M GONNA DIE! UHHHH MY FAMILY!!! ARRRGGHHHH EVERYONE I LIKED AND LOVED THINKS I'M DIED!!!! AAAAARRRGGG I'M GONNA BE STUCK LIKE THIS FOR EVER!!!! WHERE'S WILSON! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
"Okay....... Now that I've got that out of my system. I should be fine to..... AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! OHHHHH GOD EVERYTHING IS WEIRD! I"M GONNA DIE!!!!...... Okay, I think I'm good. I think I've got it all out. Now I can calmly and rationally try to approach this............... AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!.........
Alex would want to say he kept calm and dealt with it, but he didn't so he won't say it. It was true that he went as Mihawk, to the convention, but it never look this realistic. His once stuck on cheap beard, was now a real, flowing in the wind one. His once hazel eyes, were now exactly like Mihawk's. He would have normally thought it be awesome, but he fainted on the spot.
---------------------------------------------- CHANGE POV ----------------------------------------------
Princess Celestia felt relieved that her faithful student and her friends were able to seal Discord away in stone. “You all did very well, my little ponies. I am so proud of you all.” Princess Celestia is a pristine white Alicorn with a rainbow like mane, which like her sisters, blows in the non-existent wind. She is hardly ever seen without her royal gala, with a beautiful crafted gold items. One being a tiara, another a chest plate and the last her shoes. The tiara and chest plate sporting a deep purple coloured gem. On her flank is an item of a sun.
“Wasn’t nothin’!” boasted the one and only Rainbow Dash. “We kicked that guys’ sorry flank no problem!” She is a cyan coloured pegasus, with a rainbow mane. A picture of a lighting bolt with the colours of rainbow and a cloud above it.
“Of course it was something, darling,” admonished the beautiful Rarity. “Our friendships was nearly destroyed by that brute!” Rarity is a white unicorn, with a purple styled mane, with 3 gems on her flank.
“But we all pulled together in the end!” said the ever-bubbly Pinkie Pie. "Although I will miss the chocolate rain................. the drink, not the singer" The others tried to ignore the pink pony's last statement. Pinkie is a, you guessed it, a pink earth pony, with darker pink mane, which is fluffy beyond belief. And she sports 3 balloons on her flank 2 blue and 1 yellow.
“It was all thanks to Twilight and her quick thinkin’. She truly saved us, ain’t that right sugar cube?” dear, honest Applejack praised. Applejack or AJ as she is known by her friends. Is a orange earth pony, who has her mane tied back, which is blonde, and rocks a western stetson on top of her head. Her cutie marks is 3 apples.
“Hmm,” said the studious Twilight Sparkle while blinking. “Oh sorry, Applejack, didn’t hear what you said. I was just thinking…” Twilight, not to be confused with the book, is a lavender unicorn, with purple hair, with a pink strip in it. On her flank is a 6 pointed star, with 5 smaller one, around it.
“Tell us something we don’t know,” Rainbow quipped.
“Something on your mind, my faithful student?” Celestia asked with concern.
“It’s just what Discord said before we sealed him away. He said: Trying days are to come, you must remain vigilant. Because the Hawk, is always watching" Said Twilight "What do you think he meant by that Princess?"
Celestia racked her mind, trying to decode the riddle as well, but couldn't come up with anything. Not even, with all of her knowledge and wisdom, she had no idea what Discord meant. At least not at the moment, like all riddles, they become untied with time. "I Am not sure Twilight. I'm sure we will figure it out, in time. Buts lets not dwell on it, my student."
"Indeed, I mean, just look at our hooves. They all got dirty, we are in dire need of some tlc." Said Rarity. To which, Celestia quietly chuckles, lucky nopony heard.
"I will have the chariots ready to take you back to Ponyville, my little ponies. I'm glad for your visit, but royal duties call" And with that, Celestia leaves. The mane 6 bowing to her as she leaves. Leaving the mane 6 to pounder on the riddle Discord left for them.
---------------------------------------------- CHANGE POV ----------------------------------------------
Hungry, cold, wet and dirty. These are the things Alex woke up to. "Wha..... what happened? I remember the convention, then......................... uh oh" As fast as he could, Alex went back over to the lake, and looked at his reflection. And amazingly he wasn't Mihawk anymore......... Just kidding :P , anyway. "So it wasn't a dream then. I really have turned into Mihawk......... Thank god I didn't go as Usopp or Nami...." Alex chuckles darkly as his small joke. (Just incase, I don't dislike them 2, its just compare them 2 others in One piece show)
"It's funny, I would have found this to be awesome for a dream or something. But for it, to actually happen? Thats another thing all together. What about my friends, my family, my job, my life? Will I ever get back, can I go back. Will I change back if I do, somehow go back? Uggghhhhh more bloody questions. My brain is starting to hurt, because theres so many........... Why did I have to say yes to Joe? Damn bastard! This is all his fault....... Oooooo he better wish I don't get my hands on him."
Kicking a stone near by, in frustration, it flies off into the distance, above the hill not to far from him. Taking a slightly bigger on in his hand, about the size of a golf ball, he throws it across the pond. As it skims across the water, like it was bouncing across. It landed across the lake not a second later, leaving a decent size crater in its wake. "Wha........ Is Mihawk really that strong? Because I could feel that wasn't Mih..... my strongest throw. It's going to take some getting used to, me, Mihawk"
Picking up one last stone, he skimmed it across the lake. Turning around, Alex started to walk in the other direction, he remembered seeing a forrest this way. First priority was food, he knew where some water was. The only other thing he needed after food was shelter. Groooaaaannn But food first, after all he is starving. "How Am I going to do this? Use............ whats its name again? Yuri? no, errrr Yomi? no Yoru?................ What ever, I'll just call you Yoru, it seems to suit you. And now I'm talking to a sword *faceplam* Anyway, or do I use this smaller knife, it be overkill if use Yoru. But then again............ It will be awesome using Yoru, not many people get to use it. Fuck it, Yoru your up." Alex said with a sinister looking face.
"Now all I have to do, is find some wildlife. Hopefully they are edible" Alex said out loud.
The Forrest it self, was a little more dense than he was expecting, but nothing major. He could still swing Yoru. But like the trees stood any chance against Yoru. He could see some wildlife, but Luffy be damned, if he was going to eat a insect. Sure people eat them, in other countries, but personally he kind of has a phobia of them, and not only that. They don't exactly look appetising.
"Oooooooo thats a thought....... Am I in the One Piece Universe?" Alex now had stars in his eyes "Because that be fricking AWESOME!!!!!! I wonder if I'll me the straw hats. Hahaha I can see there faces now, to see Mihawk, the warlord, being fan crazy. Well, apart from Robin, but she doesn't really some any emotions to virtually everything. I wonder if they will try and attack me, because, you know being Mihawk and all. I have got to join their crew! Thats it, if I'm actually in the One Piece universe, I'm sooooooo going to join them!"The now excited swordsman rubs his palms together, congratulating himself for his master idea.
Rustle
Alex stopped dead in his tracks. Something moved behind him. Turning around, he was met with a clear clearing, with no wildlife. "Huh? I swear I heard the bushes rustling......... what ever" shrugging his shoulders, he turns around. And comes face to face, with the terror inducing, the mighty, the all powerful and the invincible rabbit. Alex jumped a little, not expecting a bunny rabbit of all things. Looking at it, it was a brown rabbit with black eyes. The rabbit it self was inspecting Alex, it has never seen a creature like it before.
"Well, food is food." Alex goes to draw his sword, while the bunny backs up a little, not expecting him to move at that moment. Its now looking up at Alex with a puppy dog eye stare. "Awwwww.......... Damn it! I need to kill it......... yeah thats simple enough right?" Yoru was now ready to strike the small rabbit. Alex hesitated "I-I-I can't. I've never killed an animal before.... Wow, the great Mihawk is scared of killing a rabbit. Way to go Alex, you now made Mihawk look lame, good job.", he thought to himself.
Sighing Alex put Yoru away, and looked back at the rabbit. Bending down, and out stretching his hand, the rabbit flinches at contact. Alex proceeds to pet the rabbit. "Ohh who Am I kidding, I'm not a killer. Go on, now get, before I change my mind" He said to the rabbit, which bounced away. "So If meat is off the menu, then I will have to find something else.... but what?" Alex asked himself.
Alex shrugged his shoulders, and starting walking in a random direction. The forrest it self was mostly made up of birch trees, or at least what he could see anyway. The ground was littered with fallen leaves "It must be coming up to autumn or gone past winter. It's not like people tidy every Forrest because it has leaves on the ground." He thought to himself. His peaceful walk was interrupted by a very quiet sound. "Is-Is that what I think it is?"
---------------------------------------------- CHANGE POV ----------------------------------------------
"Are you okay there sugarcube?" Asked a concerned voice.
"Huh? Applejack?................... Oh, yeah I was just thinking about what Discord said." Replied Twilight
"You shouldn't strain yourself darling. Besides worrying about everything doesn't help one's appearance..........." Rarity only got stares from the group. "What? Its true"
"Yeah....... Anyway. Don't sweat it Twi, whatever happens, we will be there to kick whatever it is, flank's" Boasted Rainbow
"You should listen to Dashie Twilight." Rainbow groaned at her nickname from Pinkie. "Besides, this is a teen story not a mature story, so there's nothing too extreme to worry about" Said Pinkie. The group somewhat getting used to Pinkie's antics, and just carry on.
"Your right girls, its just what he said. It just doesn't sit well with me. I think is mostly the last part. Recently Equestria has been in some sort of trouble, what seems to be like every week. But the bit "The Hawk is always watching"? Just sends a shiver down my spine."
"Ermm Discord didn't say if that was a good or bad thing Twilight. Ermm what if, the "hawk" is a good pony?" Stated Fluttershy, who is a yellow pegasus, or butter coloured if you prefer. With a pink long flowing mane, and butterflies on her flank. And like her name suggests, so is extremely shy.
"I doubt it Shy, going by content of what was said, I would bet it's the opposite. I think I just need something to take my mind off of this, is all" Said Twilight.
Well, not that I don't want to help or anything. But I've got cloud duty in the morning, and I need to rest these bad boys..." Rainbow said, pointing to her wings. "So I'll see you guys whenever, bye" And with that she was gone.
"And ah have also got to go hit the hay. Me and Mac have got a hay of a harvest in the morning. Night y'all" With that Applejack tips her hat and leaves.
And so went the rest of the goodbye, Fluttershy needing to take care of the nocturnal animals, Rarity to finish of her last order for tomorrow and Pinkie needed to check up on the twins, and what ever she does after that. Leaving Twilight to check up on Spike. Spike is her number one assistant, as she and Spike like to call his title. Also he just happens to be a baby dragon, but don't let the baby bit fool you. He has got the 2nd highest IQ in Ponyville, after Twilight herself of course. What you didn't expect him to be dumb? He does and help Twilight in all her projects and such, and has done so for years. Your bound to pick something up in that time, with her being around.
It didn't take long for Twilight to get home, although she was in no rush. Luna did do an excellent job tonight. Twilight being an astronomer lover, she couldn't help but look. If you're wondering, her home is actually a library in a tree, and big oak tree. Its why it was giving the name of "Golden Oak Library". Opening the door is a big open space with sleeves of books across the walls. The kitchen is to the left, which a simple but rustic one. And the stairs are straight ahead and slightly to the right. Walking up the stairs, she quietly opens the door to her and Spike's bedroom. She sees that he is fast asleep, with his blanket on the floor next to him and his basket.
Silently tip hoofing over to Spike, she picks up the blanket in her teeth. What with magic being cast, causing some sound to be made. She gently tucks him in, and kisses his forehead."Goodnight, my number one assistant."
