Chapter One : My Friend and I Went To Another World
“이봐! 너희 둘! 여기에 옵니다.” (Hey! You two! Get over here.) said the North Korean guard as he opened the cell door.
Me and my best friend understood then stood up slowly and approached the guard that held a Tokarev pistol pointed towards us. We followed him along the narrow corridor to a different room. It was bigger than the most rooms in here, but it is clear that this room is no ordinary place.
We could see blood stains on the walls and the floor which made me panic a bit. As I glanced over to my friend, his face has still not changed since we got thrown into the cell. He always had a pissed off look on his face and it never changed, not even in this situation. He stands at 5’9 while I stood at an average 5’11. We were pretty fit as far as I am concerned but have gone skinnier these past few weeks because of the lack of food in this dump.
“무릎 꿇어 !” (Get on your knees!)
the guard motioned his gun towards the ground and we obeyed. The worst part is about to happen. I always wondered what the afterlife was like. Two guards came into the room and walked behind us while cocking their gun and then pointed it to the back of our heads. I took a final glance at my friend and his expressions still have not changed. I closed my eyes.
*BANG*
Suddenly, I feel as if my body was floating in the air. When I opened my eyes, all I could see was whiteness. As I turned around I see my friend standing there with his arms crossed looking at me while I struggle to keep myself straight. I finally set myself upright, when we heard a familiar voice all of the sudden.
“Greetings, gentlemen. Feeling well?” The voice asked.
“Is that Morgan Freeman?” Amir raised his eyebrow.
“I am not the person who you think I am.” He spoke.
“I am the Rapture, savior of lost souls,” He explained. “You got captured and killed, that is correct?”
“Uhh, why yes of course.” I answered.
“Well then, It seems that today is your lucky day. I’m in a good mood for now so I will allow you to be sent to whatever world you wish to live in, and by whatever world, I actually mean that. Your imagination is the limit.“
My mind was flowing with ideas to where I wanted to go, then I looked at my friend. He looked like Steve Buscemi at this point.
I chuckled and asked him: “So, where do you want to go?”
He looked at me and grinned. “How about Equestria?”
Of course, why didn’t I thought of that.
“That sounds like a great idea!” I said.
It seemed like the best place to go and escape from all the problems in the world.
“Equestria then, gentlemen?” The Rapture who was portrayed as Morgan Freeman asked us.
We both nodded simultaneously. Then suddenly we fell through something that looked like a time vortex from Doctor Who and watched as the views changed. Then the background changed to white and finally, sky blue. Wait, sky blue?
“OH FUCK!” I panicked as I was freefalling in the air.
I looked around for my friend but had no luck finding him. I noticed I had turned into a pony and had wings, so I tried about flapping them. I succeeded at opening my wings which made me accelerate even faster downwards. Then I stared at the forest racing in towards me. My eyes widened.
“This is how I die!”
*Snap*
*Branches breaking*
*Thud*
I groaned and got up slowly. I looked at my body, there was a semi-large cut on my ass, or should I say ‘flank’ now.
“Ugh, no big deal, right?” I said to myself as I tried to man up.
As I examined more of my body, I discovered my body looked greyish white and my mane had black & blue streaks. My flank had no cutie mark on it.
“Oh well.” I stopped examining myself and started to look for my friend.
[Shock Wave’s POV]
~Meanwhile on plain fields somewhere near Ponyville.
I opened my eyes and found myself laying on some plains. It felt strange during the transition but it was bearable. I looked over my body to see no scratches or anything.
“Noice.” I tried to imitate an australian accent.
I realized that my hands have changed into hooves. I thought having hooves after having hands would be pretty unnatural but somehow they weren’t. I stood up somehow pretty easily and examined my body. I had a candy apple red body and a blond mane with a single streak of black hair coming down from it.
I seemed to be a unicorn because I felt a horn sticking out of my skull. I also realized that I had a rad moustache and beard combo. but no cutie mark.
“I thought Danny said that everypony has those thingies? Might come to me later down the road,”
“Oh crap! Where the hell is Danny?!”
I suddenly realized that my friend was not beside me. I tried to calm myself since I am not that well versed with pony knowledge.
“Great, now I’m lost.” I sighed.
The best thing to do now was to get out of here and look for Daniel. After a few minutes of trying to get out of the fields, I stumbled upon a dirt road that doesn’t seem to lead anywhere but I did noticed a farm, So I guess going there is my objective for now.
I walked there slowly because I was pretty tired and the sun was beaming straight towards my face. As I approached the barn, I stumbled upon a rather recognizable orange pony. It could be a pony that Danny always showed me back on Earth.
I walked towards her and tried to approach her without looking like a complete asshole considering my face looks like a guy going through his worst day ever.
“Ahem, Ma’am.” I said to her.
The orange mare turned around and said “Howdy, what can I do to help ya?”
I attempted to smile for once and asked “Umm, have you seen my friend around here?”
“Well, what does your partner look like?”
Ahh crap, haven’t thought of this one yet. “Umm, he looks like none of the pony you have ever seen before...”
Whew, that was pretty close but I don’t think I’ll get much from that.
“Well, Ah’ haven’t seen anythin’ odd today, so Ah’ have to say I haven’t seen your friend. By the way, what’s your name pardner?”
Oh crap, what now? Should I use a pony name or something? Oh wait...
I thought for a few seconds and then said “Shock Wave.”
I had always wanted to use that name and now I got the chance to use it. “And yours?”
“The name’s Applejack.” Oh, now I remember her name.
Danny was always saying Applejack is the best pony. I never understood him when he said that.
“Oh, that is a really nice name.” I said whilst also thinking that I have turned soft or something but mama always taught me to be nice to new people.
“Thanks, sugarcube.” She smiled.
“So, What is the nearest town from here?”
“Closest town is Ponyville which is north of here.”
I thanked her went on my way. And so began my life in Equestria with my best friend Danny who is the only person I can rely on when it comes to these ponies.
[Electric Dazzle's POV]
~Everfree Forest
I found out that this was the Everfree Forest, judging from the looks of this ‘forest’ which seemed more like a jungle to me, and wooden wolf things I had to run away from, I forgot what they were called. I was lost.
“Why don’t I just fly then?” I facehoofed.
I sprang up and instantly fell down on my face, also known as a faceplant. Why am I being so trivial today?
“This is gonna take a while.” I mumbled and tried again,
Somewhat succeeding, I merely kept myself in the air. I hovered forward with confidence. I gained some altitude and I saw the forest above me which made me a bit dizzy so I looked forward and flew faster. I saw an orange pony and instantly recognized it, so I got closer.
“Hey, uhh… Have you seen a pony that was looking for me?” I asked her.
“I sure did sugarcube, he went straight to Ponyville.”
“Thanks.”
I flew off to Ponyville, although I didn’t know which way I was supposed to go to. I facehoofed and turned back.
“Sorry, but um… Which way is Ponyville?” I asked with a sheepish smile. She pointed her hoof to a road. I thanked her and went on my way.
After 10 minutes…
I landed on the ground and sighed in relief. I walked into town and found Shock Wave since it was obvious that he had no cutie mark and stood out of the crowd. I grinned as I walked up behind him and tapped him on the back. He got startled and punched me straight in the jaw.
“OW FUCK MAN WHAT THE HELL!“
I yelled in sudden pain, making everypony look at us in disgust. Shock Wave looked at him and realized that is his best friend’s voice.
“Danny, is that you? You look pretty gay.” He chuckled.
I looked back at him with an annoyed look while rubbing my jaw.
“Oh yeah? and you don’t?”
“As far as I am concerned, I look pretty damn sick.”
“You look like a Swede.” I grinned. “That’s already an insult.”
“Hey, I ain’t racist so you can call me whatever you want. So what do you want to do now?”
I shrugged “I dunno. How about we go check out the place? Besides, I’m fucking starving.”
“Sure. It’s not like I have a plan myself. We could probably go to that library tree thing on our way as well and probably find a way to check out the palace.”
“Right, totally not cliché…” I mumbled to myself.
“What was that?”
“Oh, nothing.”
As we walked around looking for a restaurant, we saw Spike carrying too many books, resulting them to fall. I went up to him.
“Hey bro, need a hand?”
He looked at me quizzically.
“A hand?”
I realized and facehoofed “Yeah, um… Hand is slang for hoof where I come from… I guess,”
“Sure, you can help me out.”
I nodded and picked up a few books and placed them on my back. Shock Wave did the same. We followed Spike to the treehouse and entered it.
“Looks kinda bigger on the inside.” I exclaimed.
“Physics doesn’t tend to apply in cartoons.” Shock Wave stated.
“What’s a cartoon?” Spike questioned as he heard me and Shock Wave talking.
“You guys don’t have television or something?.” Shock Wave asked.
“No idea what you guys are talking about. You guys can put the books on the table over there.” Spike said while pointing at a nearby table. Both of us put the books on the table whilst we hear steps coming down from upstairs.
“Spike, you got the books I wanted you to get?”
The lavender mare stopped and looked at us.
“And who might you gentlecolts be?” She asked.
“These are just some new ponies in town.” Spike responded to her.
“Oh, really?” She asked.
“Name’s Shock Wave.” Shock Wave said confidently.
“And mine is Electric Dazzle, at your service.” I grinned.
“My name is Twilight Sparkle, It’s nice to meet you.” she smiled.
“That’s a very nice name ma’am.” said Shock Wave.
I looked at him and thought “Has this guy gone soft or something?”
“Why thank you, Shock Wave.” Said Twilight.
My stomach started to grumble. Twilight raised her eyebrow at this, I gave her a sheepish smile in return.
“I can give you two some bits as a reward for helping Spike.” She levitated a small bag of bits, I reached out my hoof and the bag landed on it.
“Thanks a lot, Twilight!” I grinned.
“Oh It’s no problem, now if you two won’t mind, I have some business to do. I’ll see you later.”
“Okay, bye then.” I waved and turned around to head outside, resulting the door closing behind us.
I examined the bag of bits. 12 bits, huh? Not sure if that’s a lot. We left the library in search of food since I was super hungry after all that flying. As we walked down the roads of Ponyville, we stumbled upon a nice small cafe which sells pretty cheap food. We went into the cafe and walked straight towards the cashier. The place seems to be pretty empty at the moment. I looked at the menu, and gazed my eyes upon a dandelion sandwich. Meh, why not.
“One dandelion sandwich, please.”
“that’ll be 2 gold bits, sir.” I hoofed the cashier 2 gold bits and gave 2 bits to Shock Wave.
“Yeah, thanks.” Shock Wave turned to the cashier and said “Can I get a… a… hayburger please?”
“Sure thing, Sir. That’ll be 2 bits.” The cashier said. Shock Wave gave the money to the cashier and took the hayburger to a table with me. We sat down and ate the burgers.
“Wow, this thing tastes pretty good for a bunch of hay.” Shock Wave was surprised.
“We are ponies, remember?”
After hanging out at the cafe for awhile, we decided to take off and explore the town a bit.
