Jacob woke up in the worst mood possible, he did not dream of anything and at some point he was grateful for that but sleeping will the exoskeleton still equipped would be a rather uncomfortable experience not to mention that Jacob was starving.
Jacob was not happy to sleep on the bed of the person he had previously killed to say the least but he had tried this experience a couple of times back on earth so he did not think much of it.
Jacob stood up cursing in his mind after remembering all that weight he had to carry through the day again but even through this frustration he remembered to look up for the potion he was send to take. He saw a lot of potions organized on wooden racks beside the hut's right wall. Every potion had a letter attached to it like to remember what kind of potion it is or what they might contain. When Jacob took a closer look he realized that none of the potions looked the same from the outside. In that moment he decided to read the attached letters but when he garbed one to read it after turning his googles off he realized that he could't read what it was written. Jacob instead of getting angry or curse he stopped there thinking for a moment. An idea came into his mind, he removed the googles completely out of his face and kept looking at the letter.
Moments later just before Jacob was going to give up he saw movement on the lines that were written on the paper, seconds later the lines took the form of the language he could understand.
"I'm sort of getting an idea of how these things work around here."-Jacob thought as some joy lift his spirit.
The letter wrote "Alime" he took another potion out and read it "Alime" again. He took another one out from the further right and read " Conop " After several attempt that just started to piss him off and made him think that the potion he was looking for was not there but instead had to be made...
*Graps out another potion.
*Reads
* "Myelle"
* Jackpot
A smile formed on Jacob's face as he took the potion and headed out of from the door when he just stopped, he turned around and saw that the letters attached to the potions did not turn back on the language he did not understand...they remained the language he could read. He took the potions he had read so he could rip the letters from them, to not look suspicious he also took every single letter attached to the other potions and burned them after taking another "Myelle" potion believing he might need it one day. After all he did not want to leave any clues of an alien language. Satisfied he headed for the door and equipped his googles again. It was daytime and Jacob's only goal right now was to fill his stomach up, he headed for the castle where he had all of his stuff and food rations.
Without any interruptions during the way he reached up the tower where his little camp was so he could have his fill, + the hole in the roof was perfect for the cloak to charge up. He did not want to wait for it to charge up however but he had no other choice or did he?
He opened up his bag and tried to reach out with his hand something at the bottom of it. Jacob had his hopes up for a battery cell because he was not sure what he had taken with him in the first place.
"Please have a battery cell, please have a battery cell, please have a battery cell"-Jacob thought to him self as all that mattered in the world to him right now was a battery cell for his exoskeleton.
*Grabs something solid
*Pulls it up
*A battery cell with two small batteries for his googles attached to it.
*Motherfucking Jackpot
*Opens the exoskeleton's battery cell cavity and removes the old one
*Puts the new battery cell and closes the exoskeleton's cavity.
As soon as the exoskeleton came back to life it felt like tons were being lit out of his shoulders, it was that kind of relief that made Jacob want to fly. Now he could easily carry all his stuff with little to no effort. Jacob packed everything up on his backpack and Jumped out from hole he had made on the roof at least a hundred meters down . Landing on his feet after dashing up, it did hurt just a little but since the exoskeleton took the most of it was like nothing at all. It made Jacob feel alive from some reason.
The battery cell was never there or at least as much as the parachute had been when he was falling from the sky, he did not think of google batteries but in his mind they came together in one pack just like back on earth.
"Time to get some answers"-Jacob thought to himself as he activated his exoskeleton and headed for the outside of the forest.
A short amount of time later...
Now invisible Jacob felt no hesitation on entering the new found village, Ponyville. Why it had such a name he had no idea but he thought that maybe in some further part of town there must be some kind of a pony farm. The very thought of it made him smile because he found it secretly adorable, Jacob read the name of the village on a road sign that of course he had to burn afterword somewhere inside the forest again. Frustrated Jacob returned to the village with the aim of information and finding those kids.
Jacob saw aliens of different races, genders, colors, sizes and even shapes. Fear.Why fear?!
Jacob was very careful on keeping a safe distance and just kept looking at them going on their everyday activities. It felt like home but a few vital human characteristics where missing. Technology being one of them but for the two others Jacob simply could not tell what was missing, anyway he could tell the difference between male and female very easily and of course Jacob could tell if someone was an adult,child or elder. He also could tell the racial differences but he still could not name them.
As Jacob kept moving further into the center of the town he was feeling more and more overwhelmed and a feeling of suffocation started to overtake him. Jacob felt trapped, there were so many of them and even the skies were fully occupied by those unreal looking flying aliens. Anxiety kept building inside Jacob, the unknown and the unnatural was everywhere around him. The very soil he was walking gave him a feeling of alienation just as much as the very air he was breathing. The first human to walk this soil, everywhere were he went he was the first time a human to have walked there and breathed the same air that those aliens were breathing and had breathed before.
Jacob had to leave and he had to leave now.RIGHT FUCKING NOW! Jacob got away from the village just moments later but from a different direction he had entered because he could at least see more while exiting. Jacob saw 3 colorful figures on the distance and just for a moment he thought to himself that it was not possible before aiming with his sniper rifle's scope to see from the distance. The three kids he met on the forest were still waiting at the edge of it and had formed a little camp there.
"Did they really wait for me until now?Who would even do such a thing?"-Jacob thought to himself while not believing his own eyes.
Jacob decided to approach the camp and talk to the children once more and just give them the potion.
"Hello there again"- Jacob spoke from their behind taking them by surprise, the young aliens gasped in unison before turning around and made out that same transparent figure once again. Before they had the chance to speak Jacob thought to apologize first.
"Sorry for taking so long I really did not think it would take this much time nor that you will rise a camp waiting for me"-Jacob said while taking out one of the "Myelle" potions and living it visible on the ground after he took some steps back.
The three young aliens seemed to shrink in front of Jacob's presence and he did not know why but two of the young aliens pushed the third one forward to take the potion. A simple thank you followed:
"Thank you."- well that was a sign of gratitude but a kind of gratitude that was forced.
"Hej hej hej there what's wrong?"-Jacob asked more confused than anything else.
"We...we heard some really strange and scary sounds the previous night...was that... was that you?"-Sweety Belle gave a delayed question with a good amount of hesitation.
"Yes Sweety Belle it was me but there is nothing to fear about those sounds trust me on this one."- Jacob could not help but feel sorry for terrifying those little kids but he did not know.
"We were worried about you and Zagora...are you both alright?"-Sweety Belle asked again with a little more relief this time.
"I'm fine you really don't have to worry about me little ones but I did not meet that friend of your you told me I would meet."-Jacob gave the hardest lie he had ever given.
"You didn't meet Zagora...she was probably out in the forest gathering ingredients, I feel bad you didn't meet her she's a wonderful friend"-Sweety belle said as both her mood and her two other friends seemed to light up.
Those innocent words cut Jacob deeper than any blade ever could. Forcing Jacob to give the most forced lie he ever did.
"I'm sure she is, so you guys are not mad at meet for being late?"-Jacob said forcefully.
"Not at all mister, thank you for your help. What were you doing on that forest anyway?"-Sweety Belle asked shamelessly.
"That's classified."- Jacob allowed himself to smirk in that one.
"What?"- the three of them said in unison with a surprised look on their faces.
Jacob did not recognize his mistake right after but he gave himself the luxury of time to think. Jacob realized that he used a word that did not exist in this world or they never heard off it and in their point of view the word must have sounded incomprehensible and that is the main problem. Logically even if an alien talked to an another alien of the same kind and used a word they never heard or existed in this world the word would be comprehensible so they would be able to learn new words. But if tow different kind aliens talked and one used an unknown word to the other it would sound unconscionable. In short words Jacob got a lesson and gave those kids accidentally audio of alien proof.
"But they were kids,right?They would not be able to think of such thing,right?"- Jacob thought to himself as he understood the situation.
"Sorry that came out wrong...I meant to say that it's a secret. You know my muzzle...cant speak that easily."- Jacob made a good lie this time.
The young aliens lowered their heads a little before one of them spoke up.
"Anyway mister we have to move our camp now and I am sure you have a lot to do so I guess this is a goodbye but we'll remain friends, right?"- The orange alien spoke up, the alien which Jacob could not remember her name right now.
"Yeah,friends..."- Jacob did not know why he both felt and sounded sad but he guessed that he just felt lonely without anybody to hold dear in this alien planet.
The aliens seemed to pack up in seconds with that Sweety Bell helping with her magic of her's that still freaked Jacob up at some point not knowing the full extent of such a force he could not comprehend and that they seemed to use so easily.
"Owww, don't get sad mister we made sure you are going to make lots and lots of friends...we have not told Pinkie Pie but we told someone way more AWESOME!"-The orange alien said with excitement on her voice.
"YOU DID WHAT?!!"- Jacob's eyes grew wider then any of those aliens ever could,taking into consideration the proportions.
"Have fun and enjoy your stay in Ponyville mister Jacob."-The one with the country accent said from the distance as they faded from view. Interesting how accent can make it's way through the language spell.
"oh no they didn't"-Jacob thought to himself as he was thinking to get the hell out of there ASAP, just as soon as he turned around to face the forest...he saw the face of one of those aliens that was flying downwards like a bat would stay when it was hooked up to something.
"boo"-Rainbow Dash said with a smirk on her face, not having the smallest idea with what she was dealing with and all she had really planed was to mess with him for the time being.
Jacob tried to react but she was even faster than his dashing, in seconds the alien was behind him and had grabbed Jacob by his bag and started flying upwards. Jacob was airborne just moments latter.
"Damn you're heavy...what are you caring with you anyway huh big guy?"-Rainbow dash said jokingly.
"Let me go"-Jacob simply replied.
"Well we are pretty high right now...I don't think you would appreciate that"-Rainbow dash joked.
"Put me down, NOW!"-Jacob ordered after realizing how high they really were.
"Not until you tell me what you are and were you come from tough guy."-Rainbow dash thought that it was a good idea to play the favor for a favor game.
Jacob snapped: "GO TO HELL!"- was all Jacob said before cutting one of bag's limbs and holding to the other one with his right hand after almost letting go of it, he dashed upwards and took out his pistol out taking the alien by surprise. To not make any noise Jacob had to fire from a 0mm distance...knowing this he pressed the pistol on the point her left wing was connected with the rest of the body and pulled the trigger.
Gunshot/no sound that others could hear*
Of course the gunshot made some noise but they were out of town and there was nobody who could hear them but if he just fired from that range, the bullet would have made enough noise only for him and the alien to hear. The bullet was powerful enough to rip her entire wing off, the alien left out a shirked of pain and let go of Jacob.
Jacob did not see what happened to her afterwords but now he had an another problem to deal with...he was falling very fast but luckily not from as far of a distance as the first time around. Jacob could survive but it would take almost all the energy he had left on his exoskeleton, he dashed many times upward to slow down his falling and he landed successfully with no problems.
Jacob turned around to see where the alien was and he saw her land on the roof of a building. She somehow managed through the pain and the lack of a wing to land without getting further wounds. Jacob knew she would survive and he did not care to look after her any further. Adrenaline was ruining through Jacob's veins and he could not stand the fact of how alienated he felt from those aliens...literally.
Jacob did not really understand his emotions every time he had physical contact with any of those aliens, he was curious in his own feelings. Anyway Jacob thought he had enough of those aliens for today but he could not go back empty handed so he thought to give that town another shot, hopefully not literally this time. Even a newspaper would be enough if he could not get any other kind of information cause the lack of technology they have, if they have newspapers at all...cause the newspaper was a human idea. Well there is only one way to find out.
For a small town as it was Jacob had created the mother of all distractions, perfect from sneaking in even easier. Jacob entered the town again from a different direction this time to avoid the crowd that was gathering to the screams of agony of the incapacitated alien. Jacob was experiencing that emotion of suffocation this time too but now it was easier to overcome it. Jacob saw a doctor and a nurse coming out of what appeared to be some kind of small hospital and he sure knew where they were going.
Well Jacob decided to go with the newspaper idea since he could not bare this town any further, surprisingly the newspapers were pretty easy to find...and be stolen. Jacob didn't seem surprised to find a newspaper in this alien planet because he thought that it was common logic the invention of such a thing as a newspaper. Jacob "grabbed" or let's say "borrowed" one newspaper and decided to have a short look around before getting the hell out of here.
Jacob was near the exit of the town when he just stopped walking and looked in horror...
One of those aliens was holding the alien's wing that he ripped off with the his gun and was running into the crowd's direction. That it's worth bringing to a notice, these aliens were not stupid enough to gather in that kind of crowd to would suffocate the person in a critical condition such as bleeding and bleeding very fast. Jacob had the perfect view to say the least , there was some distance but that was not a problem. Jacob took out his sniper rifle and looked through it's scope and believe me he wished he hadn't.
"Somebody hold her still"-The alien that appeared as a doctor shouted and a muscular male alien with small pair of wings that Jacob almost didn't notice, came out of the crowd and helped the nurse to keep the injured alien still. The pony that was holding the wing on her hands was crying and appeared o be a female alien with orange furr and a farmer hat. Jacob would had laughed if the circumstances were different. Another yellow coated alien with pink hair was holding her friends head for comfort and if Jacob did not know any better he would have sworn that she was going through the same pain as her friend.
An another detail that in worth mentioning was that Jacob notice an purple coated alien that expect having a horn it also had a nice pair of bigger wings too. Jacob just realized that he just discovered the 4th race of these aliens now. he wondered if there are any other races that he did not know about, nothing would surprise him anymore.
Speaking of surprises, what was truly shocking for Jacob was what the doctor was doing to the injured alien. The doctor seemed to be using magic that was still disturbing to Jacob, but that was not the point. Jacob zoomed even more not believing his own eyes ...the magic was reconnecting the very flesh back together, the wing was slowly regenerating and it finally after some minutes that felt like hours the alien was completely healed.
With an another cast of magic by the doctor the alien was put asleep. Jacob just stood there, fortunately or unfortunately he could not remain in that state of mind as much as he would have wanted or needed to cause of this:
The scream of a female alien* (What kind of scream? Well, that terrified scream that can be heard for miles).
Jacob was brought back to reality half conscious and half subconscious, turning his head around he saw an female alien with no wings or horn with two shopping bags that were dropped on the ground and it was too close or in other words as close as she could make a transparent shape out of what in her point of view came out of nothing. The alien's color appeared to be a light kind of brown on both her hair and furr. Jacob quickly reacted by withdrawing his sniper rifle, grabbing it by the barrel and using it as a baseball bat to hit the alien unconscious... Jacob made the hit and HOMERUN!!!. The alien fell unconscious doing a barrel roll in the process.
Jacob knew that he had to get the fuck out of there ASAP but before he could do so an purple alien that had teleported herself came into Jacob's view almost as much as he came into her's. That "almost" probably saved Jacob's life since he remained on the range which he was invisible to the naked eye. Jacob did not see the purple alien teleport so he is still oblivious to the fact that they are capable of such a thing.
As curious as he was to stay and see what is going to happen...who am I kidding, Jacob ran like his life depended on it and dissapering in the forest once more...
