~The Conversion Bureau - The Last Human Chapter 3~
~By Maxis122~
I head was hurting and my ears were ringing as I opened my eyes to see the car park in front of me with nothing but a few specks of morning sunlight to cover it. I looked to my hands to see they were still shaking and that they were still hands. But that image was still in my head as for a second I saw a pony again.
The image shouldn’t be anything special because I have seen so many ponies in my time. It was probably just the shock of falling down at high speeds and then stopping all of a sudden. But in true honesty I can’t figure out why I am still alive - but the point is that I am still alive.
I was able to get back onto my feet now but I was still a little shaky and uneasy. All that I could focus on now was getting out of here. So after getting my self to a stable state I walked into the car park and looked around it. I hadn’t been in a place like this for a while and I almost forgot it existed.
The only problem was that the exit was blocked off by some boards, so I needed to ram through them with something. I looked around for a few seconds and then found a Audi X10 sports car. It was the newest car before the conversion. So that still makes it the newest car on the planet.
I got in the car and saw that it still had the keys in the starter, all I needed to do was press the start button. I pressed the button and the car roared to life. I looked to the meters that came up and the fuel meter shot up to full.
I slammed my foot on the accelerator and the car jumped forwards and began to move at a fast speed. I steered it in the direction of the blockade and kept my foot hard on the accelerator. After I changed the gear the car gained even more speed and the exit became closer. Then the car rammed into the blockade and it was destroyed as it it was never there.
Then I hit the brakes to stop the car from crashing into the building ahead. After looking left and right I turned the car around and began to drive it back to my bunker. I had what I needed and now had the ability to go long distance.
The journey wasn’t long but I didn’t need long to get back to my home. I looked around the streets and because of the car I was now making a lot more sound than before. If the dragon was still here then it would be able to find me in seconds. But so far the dragon was nowhere to be seen.
I got to the bunker and I turned off the car and took the keys. Then I ran into my bunker and picked up another bag with all of my supplies in it. I then picked up my laptop and ran back to the car, leaving everything else behind.
After throwing the things I needed into the car I ran back into the bunker and picked up my two bottles of pure water. Then I dragged them back to the car and placed them on the back seat. After closing the door I placed the keys back into the socket and turned the car on. It was time to get out of here.
I then pressed the Satellite Navigation Button and began to drive the car through the streets. The Sat Nav said it couldn’t find a signal so I pressed the button to bring up the map. I then scrolled along the map of London until I found where I was. Then l found the route to getting out of the city.
After knowing where I needed to go I pressed hard on the accelerator and changed the gear. This sped up the car and then everything began to move a lot quicker. The city seemed to have the same appearance everywhere I went. It was the same old London, just infested with the plants and trees.
Looking around I could could see so many places that I wanted to go to but I never got the chance to. Because of work I had other thing to think about. Then the inevitable happened, a line of fire just missed the car. I looked in the mirror to see that the dragon had returned.
It was time to end this once and for all and this dragon was now annoying the hell out of me. I then pulled the pistol from chest and placed it on the dashboard so I was ready to use it. Then the dragon shot some more fire and I sharply turned the car down another street. The dragon had to stop and the turn around.
With this going on I got my car to the end of the street and I parked it sideways. Then I got the fifty caliber rifle out and pointed it in the direction of the dragon. There was no way that I could stop it with a bullet. I searched around with the scope and came across a car hanging out of one of the buildings.
It was being held in by a single pole which was becoming brittle. This was the best possible way to finish this. I looked out of the scope to see the dragon was now about to crawl towards me. I then pulled the trigger and then the car fell out with some other things. The car landed on the dragons head and then a gas canister landed and exploded.
The dragon recoiled and took a few steps back in order to get some flying space. Then it took off and began to fly back in the direction of Romania, back to its home. A sigh of relief was in order as I was able to get rid of the dragon without killing it.
But all the same I still needed to get back on track. So I turned the car around and began to drive again - back down the streets.

Within a hour I had made it out of London and was in the lush and green countryside. Everything out here was the same as before, but there was no longer any land that had been farmed. Every plant had been left to grow and expand by itself.
The occasional country house was left but it had been overgrown by the plants. Everything seemed to be taken over by nature and because of that nature could show its true beauty. So many new plants had been grown and the forests were no longer being cut down.
The land had gained consciousness of there no longer being a presence of humanity and it had taken advantage of this on a mass scale. Nature has now harmonised with what the humans had once had and it has just grown around it.
It almost reminds me of the conversion, and how the humans had just been covered by a empire of ponies. They never showed violence but they still grew around everyone.
The main difference to the ponies and nature is nature didn’t care what the humans did - it just harmonized with us. But the ponies had so many problems with humans and acted so arrogantly when they were questioned.
But I still look back on humanity and think about why they would want to visit Equestria. Maybe we could just trade with them and then our crysis would be over. But that was obviously not be because we had nothing that they wanted. All they wanted was us humans to become their, so called, “perfect race”.
For a while I thought that it was the perfect race but after retrospecting it they were far from being perfect. They claimed that they had no greed, yet they take more land then they need. And they claim that they do not hate - well... I know that they can.
Everything as smart as a human has the ability to feel and portray any emotion. Unless that means that they are not as smart, but thats another subject altogether. But in the end humans and ponies can think alike, there is no question about that.
The miles were ranking on and the sun was beginning its descent, so I needed to find someplace to stop and take a rest. The best idea would to stop when I got tired as there would be no other cars on this road as there are no other humans.
So I just continued to drive down the road for another hour. Then I got to the coast line where there were some boats still tied up. Tomorrow I would begin my journey but for now I needed to rest and do the video log.
So I parked the car up and turned off the engine. Then I got the laptop out and powered it up. When it loaded I began my recording.

Hello, its come to that part of my day where I have to talk to the machine to let the future know about who I was.
Today I got what I was looking for and I am now on the move. There are two places that I need to go to now, that is Romania and South Africa. You may wonder why go to those places.
First off there are the dragons that are supposed to be in Romania but I have seen them in London. So, I need to find out what’s going on.
And why am I going to South Africa, well... Thats where it all began. Normally the way to solve a problem is to go to its source. And I need to get a look at those Conversion Bureau’s, and also answer this question - how do you convert a human into a pony.
I will just have to find out.
One last thing before I go, I have some emotional problems surround this Ms. Twilight Sparkle
Once again this is Max - I am the last human.
I am still alive.

[Data Saved]
When the data was saved I lowered the lid of the laptop and placed it on the seat next to me. I looked at the road ahead and saw that it was empty, there was nothing there but the docks ahead.
Somehow it was like something was just looking at me. Hiding in curiosity of what I am. Apart from that there was nothing that I could see. But to stay on the safe side I locked the doors - you never know.
