Judgement
Wesker in Equestria
by DeepThought
Twilight’s friends mustered the Princess curiously; the purple alicorn’s muzzle was agape, her eyes were fixated at the blackboard, obviously the source of her astonishment. Deep in thought, she muttered some incomprehensible words.
Rarity hmmpfed and tapped her friend lightly on the shoulder, but Twilight didn’t react. Awkwardly, the fashionista smiled at the tall human, who kept his emotionless expression. Cold, alien eyes rested on the ponies, who were starting to sweat nervously. Well, except a certain bubblegum-pink party pony, bouncing up and down excitedly, oblivious to the possibly dangerous creature just before her and instead happy to make another new friend.
“Twilight, the new edition of ‘Magic - Advanced Learning’ just arrived,” Rarity tried to bring the Princess back to reality. Successfully! Twilight blinked several times and became aware of her surroundings again. Sheepishly, she said,
“Got carried away again, huh?”
The girls nodded and the alicorn blushed.
Magic?
Twilight turned to the tall form of the human.
“This solution to Canterlot University's annual mathematical competition is brilliant, Mr. Wesker. None of my colleagues even found a viable approach, yet... Where did you learn this?”
Wesker hesitated for a moment, but decided to play along. Being a researcher was no crime, but revealing more about his past could be dangerous. The little trust these creatures had into him, because he didn't resist, when their Princess arrived, would be instantly and completely shattered.
“I'm a scientist, Princess Twilight. To perform my tasks it is necessary,” he responded vaguely, fully aware that he didn't answer her question.
'Isn't it a piece of luck that the first of these creatures we meet happens to be a scientist? Somepony determined to improve the lives of all of us through research and hard work... What a great opportunity!' she mused, beaming at the human.
Twilight didn't know how wrong she was about this certain individual. Still, he didn't tell her where exactly he was from - his reply didn't satisfy her thirst for knowledge.
“So, are...” the purple pony tried to dig deeper, but she was interrupted by Rarity,
“What Twilight wanted to say is that we think we found an adequate punishment. Is that correct, Princess?”
The alicorn's giddiness vanished, and she became serious again. She cleared her throat. There were more important important matters to attend to at the moment.
“You're right, Rarity.”
Twilight collected her thoughts and began,
“I, Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria, Element of Harmony and Princess Celestia's personal student, hereby pass my judgment. The individual known as...”
The Princess stopped and looked both expectantly and ashamed in the human's direction. She had forgotten his first name, he realized.
“Albert,” the blonde said neutrally. Inwardly he groaned, but he was used to dealing with foreign dignitaries, company representatives, and even nobles. His time as Umbrella's chairman had taught him to show patience in the face of incompetence.
Twilight continued, once again clearing her throat, “The individual known as Albert Wesker is guilty of theft and trespassing. However, considering the special circumstances, we decided to temper justice with mercy. Your sentence is: 50 hours of community work and compensation for the Apple family's destroyed property. Any objections?”
It was a humiliation. He, the most powerful man alive, picking up garbage? Ridiculous, but it could have been worse...
His expression stayed calm despite his inner turmoil and he responded coldly,
“I accept my punishment.”
Twilight relaxed. For a short moment she had expected this stone-faced, alien creature to refuse. The girls breathed a sigh of relief and collectively wiped the sweat from their faces. Smiling encouragment at the human, Twilight added,
“Well then, Mr. Wesker, I can assure you that repaying your debt to Applejack won't be a problem at all. The trophy money you'll receive from Canterlot University for solving the problem will be more than enough.”
The blonde man nodded mechanically.
“Do you plan to stay in Ponyville?”
“Yes, indeed I do, Princess Sparkle.”
“Drop the title, please. It is unnecessary. You are no longer a culprit.”
“As you wish, Miss Twilight.”
“Just Twilight... I want to introduce you to my friends now.”
She pointed with her hoof at the blonde farm pony, who in return tipped her Stetson, “You've already met Applejack.”
“Howdy, Ah hope we can start from anew now. No hard feelings, right?”
“Definitely,” Wesker replied. Definitely not.
“This is Rarity, the local fashionista,”
“It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wesker,” a white-furred unicorn with a styled, deep-purple mane responded.
“The pleasure is all mine. I will need your services in the future. My clothes are nothing but rags and this indecency is not acceptable."
The next pony the recently coronated Princess introduced was a prismatic pegasus mare.
“Rainbow Dash, Element of loyalty.”
“Ugly ape, I'll keep an eye on you. I won't allow you to hurt my friends again,” the pegasus spat hostilely, now hovering only a few centimeters from Wesker's face.
“Rainbow!” Twilight exclaimed, "What did I tell you about antagonizing Mr. Wesker?"
“Okay, nice to meet you,” Rainbow Dash muttered hesitantly, after giving her purple friend a sour face.
What happened now took Wesker a few seconds to comprehend. A pink flash zipped with incredible speed towards the human, who had no time to dodge the "attack", and crashed into his chest. He realized it was the bubbly, puffy-haired mare, hugging him with bone-crushing strength.
Twilight facehoofed.
“This is Pinkie Pie...” she explained apologetically, “She's Ponyville's party pony.”
“HI THERE! DO YOU LIKE PARTIES? I LIKE PARTIES. AND CUPCAKES! AND VIRUSE...”
Before the blonde man could respond, the mare was gently levitated from his chest, surrounded by another purple bubble.
“Pinkie's a bit random,” Twilight sighed.
Wesker noticed that the cream-colored mare, who had cowered behind her friends, had disappeared.
“And this is Fluttershy,” the purple alicorn finished her introduction, only to find an empty space where her hoof was pointing at.
“Urghhhh... Never mind. I want to show you something.”
Pony and human went down two floors in a wooden staircase before they arrived in what obviously was the basement. The rest of the girls waited in the library above. Twilight's horn lit up and instantly hundreds of candles began to burn.
The room was a fully-equipped lab, including microscopes, petri dishes and erlenmeyer flasks. What a glorious sight!
Yeah, it wasn't too bad before, but with this chapter, things are officially starting to get stale. Shake it up a bit, would you?
Please have Wesker kill something soon, or at least have him maim Rainbow Dash. She always infuriates me with her stupidity.

I'll see what I can do.
But I don't want to rush the story.
At least the annoying introduction part is now over. I personally dislike the 'getting settled' aspect of HIE stories. They are a necessary evil, though.
I kinda like when stories take it slow and detail many aspects of how a new character is settling in, meeting some ponies, interactions with the other main characters... basically bits of slice-of-life every now and again, where appropriate. It may be filler but goddamn do I love that kind of filler. I care much less about how much like a proper piece of literature a fanfic is and how proper it's story structure is, than I care about just having more material about my favorite characters interacting with some other interesting character in interesting situations. Kinda like if every fanfic is a series instead of a single movie.
I think you shouldn't rush the story.
On another note, how do you "implode with" someone's chest?
4139222 I fixed the mistake, thank you.
4139331 Is 6 multiplied with 7 42? Of course it is.
While carnage is a staple of the insipid actions Wesker tends to make, don't forget that this normally occurs after he has been given a sudden increase of power, and when he hurts someone out of these circumstances he normally does it in a way that can't be traced back to him.
4139071 or at the very least beat her in a race.
4139353
4139356 That would do just fine too. Her ego would be destroyed, and if I'm lucky she'll commit suicide!
4139402 I'm a big fan of the series, too.

Well aren't you just pumping these out..
At least the intros are one with now, well at least until the other princesses and background characters make their appearance. Now he is just probably going to try and figure out where he is and how he got there. And then things are going to start rolling.
Good chapter.
Can't wait, is he going to cook up a P-virus in Twilight's basement?
4140034 Why not simply skip stright to the zeta virus? Enought with simple letters. Lets get to the good stuff already.
...Does wesker not have his godly reflexes anymore? Seriously,Dude has flash-step,And the cobra strike,Who needs anything else?....But really,He can probably manage to catch a speeding pinkie,Or outrun dash
4141729 Normally I would agree with you, but then again this IS Pinkie Pie we're talking about. The laws of physics and pretty much every natural law have no effect on her.

*twitches fingers* Improve
Y u make Rainbow Dash so crass? Comon, i'm sure Twilight explained the situation to her, that Wesker didn't do anything but attempt burglary.
4139071 Hey, now, Rainbow Dash loves you! Why can't you love her back?
lol, where did you find those pictures? XD
hahaha
Nice job! :D
That last should have him worried once he has time to remember what she said...
