The Future is....Ponies?

by TheDawsonator1

Leaving Equestria to get the heat off...even though here is quite cold.

“That’s all that has happened since you escaped?”
“Yes” I answer

When I had come up with Icy Breeze to talk to Cadence, I had told her of our misadventures up to this point.

“Hmmm, Auntie Celestia would certainly recognize your bravery” Cadence commended
“Thank you” I say
“What about the Necromancer, he may attack here again and who knows where he is” Breezy pointed out
“His minions here were most short-sighted, he either has something cunning planned or he underestimated us and will send better minions later. That’s what Auntie Celestia would say, and my husband” Cadence theorized

Of course this wouldn't be the Necromancer's A-game, if that was than he'd be running not attacking, but I do have some other concerns.

“I am not a war expert but I’d figure around those lines, what about the other kingdoms?” I ask
“Chrysalis, as much as I despise her, has had her successor killed by the Necromancer’s minions. The Zebras are fine for now. The Griffons have downright slaughtered in parts and others barely holding. Others countries have mixed outcomes. Here, we are holding here but towns are getting slaughtered and we are moving everybody out to Canterlot” Cadence reports
“Damn, I guess we got to find the Necromancer” I cursed
“I would not try challenge he or she upfront so quickly, not even Celestia could defeat him alone judging with all the power he must use to focus his armies and magic at the same time. The Necromancer must be an Alicorn-strengthed opponent or similar at bare minimum and that is assuming we are lucky enough that the bare minimum is his/her maximum strength” Cadence warned

She’s right, I have powers but they wouldn’t do jack to somebody like the Necromancer, there's no way this was his A-game.

“But we can’t just do nothing, Joel” Breeze says to me
“After what I’ve seen, walking around and surviving just isn’t going to solve anything, this is something that will not be resolved faster by us standing there. I think we must go find something to help Equestria” I say
“I cannot stop you two, but we all wish you the best of luck” Cadence admits with a sigh

There was one more thing bothering me…

“Princess Cadence? One more question, that imposter was like you but surely I was not that strong to take on an Alicorn like that thing was meant to be?” I asked
“No, it may have looked like me but by no means was it at my strength, it was a stronger soldier, perhaps a low-ranking officer but nowhere near Alicorn level hence my defeating it quickly, you did well to weaken it but there are no doubts the next monster the Necromancer sends will be a lot more powerful, should you bump into one of them, I only hope you have increased your power as well to match it” Cadence explains
“Thank you for the help by the way” Breeze says
“I should be thanking you two, had it not been for you two’s distraction, I might not have found the imposter in time” Cadence says

The soldiers outside had appeared to have cleaned up the remaining of the Necro-minions and the ones that weren’t slain were retreating off.

“Now, it is time for you to leave…with a little help of course since you are still marked as the Necromancer” Cadence says
“What are you gonna do?” I ask
"What about Princess Celestia? Isn't she coming here?" Breeze asks
“Teleport you to a random spot, not even I know where in Equestria it will be but rest assured it will not be a solid object otherwise the spell cancels. This is to avoid if anypony ever captured me and looked at my last spells. Auntie will have to miss out seeing you but I will tell her you say hi” Cadence explains
“Good idea” I say
“Well it’s a pleasure meeting you, Joel. Be careful, and I’ll definitely be sure to tell Auntie Celestia and Luna you say hello” Cadence says
“And the elements” I added
“And the elements” she added to the hello list

Princess Cadence charged her spell and a white light surrounded both of us and POP!

“My lord, the attack on Crystal Empire has failed” a Necro-Minion reported
“That’s a disappointment, perhaps the last two attacks on her had not shown Princess Cadence as weak as we thought she was” the Necromancer sighed
“Also reports the Human by the name of Joel and the mare helped slain the imposter you sent” the Necro-minion also reported
“Joel? He is becoming a pain in my damned ass!” The Necromancer felt a bit of anger at the mention of his name.

Joel…that name has come up a bit, the human. He’s slain the patrols a couple of camps and must be looking for the Necromancer, it makes sense. But such a little thorn can cause such a huge pain. It was time he focused a bit more effort to eliminate him.

“Commander, I want you to officially up the bounty of Joel and his girl, dead or alive. Even the worms of their society cannot resist a bounty, there are creatures in their society who do not care about sides and money, I will use that to an exploitable advantage. Now make it so!” the Necromancer ordered.
“Yes, my lord” the commander did a salute and left

Joel, just a small thorn but coming a huge pain, not for long and if Joel lives, The Necromancer may just have to take care of Joel himself. Secretly, he hoped that was the case.

I have no idea where we are, Cadence did teleport us somewhere random, we’re out of snow so I’d say we are away from the cold in fact it feels a bit savannah-ish in here, kind of looks like Africa.

“This doesn’t look Equestrian at all” Breeze says
“How do you know?” I ask her
“Well, Equestria doesn’t have savannah kind of places, the only place that does is Zebrica” Breezy says
“I guess Cadence teleported us a continent, pretty neat, at least we don’t suffer crappy airline food and squishy space” I joked with a laugh
“I don’t get it” Breeze looks confused
“It’s a my time thing” I explain
“Oh, so we should find a cave or something?” Breeze suggested
“Sounds like a plan, maybe we should find a nearby town tomorrow and find precisely where we are and maybe what the Necromancer’s minions are doing around here” I say
“Yeah” Breeze nodded

So…Zebrica it is, we’ll stick out like sore thumbs along anyone basically but at least the weather is warmer, for now, let's go find somewhere to rest for now...

Author's Note:

The fic is dying! Quick! Inject it with chapter update, STAT! I've had this chapter finished for like 2-3 months now? Better get some more work on this fiction then.
