The day after Twilight's inauguration, she doesn't wake up in Canterlot castle... but in a cage. On Earth. And the rest of her friends aren't much better off either. But can they find each other again, and figure out what the Celestia is going on?

This is a very interesting idea. Definitely giving it a follow.

Oh boy, the dragon's going to china. 100 bits they worship him or something along those lines. Also, if I saw something like this in real life, first instinct would be call the fucking SCP foundation, not letting some whack ass stall owner control it.

Thanks. I’ll make sure you don’t regret your decision… :rainbowdetermined2:

Spike should be worshipped wherever he goes, regardless. At least, that’s what he says. :moustache:

11227126
Precisely, and considering the importance of dragon's in Chinese mythology and culture, it is likely he will be mistaken for one of these said dragons. Thus, earning him either worship, respect, fame, or all of the above.

Where in Asia is Spike? A metropolis of billions of people. That is only two countries in Asia that have cities that big China or India.

11227123
I feel it's worth pointing out that we don't know when this takes place. Could be the modern day, or it could be 1855, we know as much as Twilight at this point.

11227130
Good point. Be interesting to see how he'd react to such undiluted adulation, wouldn't it? Not like him to get a big head... right? :twilightoops:


11227168
I don't want to give too much away, but it might be kind of obvious what I'm building towards... :scootangel:


11227177
Something to consider, perhaps. We'll see. :rainbowdetermined2:

11227177
Yes, but even then, in modern day China, dragons at least have some relevance.

Note, send word to SCP foundation, as they are likely more qualified to deal with this inter-dimensional fuck-up than some whack ass humans. If that don't work, send in the meme man.

Next we’ll follow the adventures of Spike the dragon, who’ll find himself unceremoniously dumped in a vast metropolis populated by billions of people…
In other words, Asia.

If we're going stereotypical, most likely the Eastern countries like China or Japan. I see two ways it'll go:
1. They praise him like a deity due to Eastern Dragon mythology.
2. They capture and attempt to dissect his body and sell his organs.
I hope for the former, because I will destroy anyone attempting to harm him.
Definitely following this series. :pinkiehappy:
Also, who in Tartarus is going to be in Antarctica?

11227371
Thanks for the follow. And as for your last question, somepony with a thick coat and a thermos of warm soup I hope! :applejackunsure:

11227168
Only India and China have over 1 billion people, but Tokyo, Japan is the largest metropolitan area in the world.

11227249
SCP foundation won't do anything useful, unless you call locking them up indefinitely "useful" They're not going to help anyone. FBI would also imprison them, but this time to do experiments. Calling authority figures isn't going to help.

11227491
Hmmmmm, yeah, fair enough. Maybe the serpent's hand could help.

11227371 If Spike ends up in Japan, he'll be ok. China? That depends on the region... but the CCP will think he's some sort of spy and vivisect him alive. If he ends up in the Canton region, he'll be ripped apart for aphrodisiacs. :fluttershbad:

Indonesia and Malaysia would consider him a demon, save in the communities where they still hold Buddhist or Hindu beliefs. Hard to say what would happen to him in the Philippines, Laos, or Vietnam. Thailand has lots of... weird things that go on there... Spike might end up with issues. In New Guinea, they'd eat him.

India would believe him some divine being, but if he's found by the wrong people there, he'd be exploited. In the very Islamic regions of India... HE'D BE A DEMON! KILL IT!

Asia is not one country, ya know? Like Africa, which so many just assume is all homogeneous... people are woefully unaware of how complex the world really is. I blame the god-awful public school system.

The poor pony who ends up in Australia will be bitten, stung, and chewed up to death before any humans even find her. Probably all at the same time too!

The one in Antarctica will probably end up at the remains of that one research base and find Kurt Russel's frozen corpse... then become infested with the Thing! :raritydespair:

11227520
...Do you want to take over the story? Because clearly, you know far more about geography than I. As well as classic horror movies... :rainbowwild: (But I have just enough knowledge to know that Asia isn't just one country(!) I wasn't specific about the place because I wanted to have some level of suspense where he'd end up... even though the description kind of gives it away). :unsuresweetie:

So Twilight's in North America (presumably) and Spike's going to be in Asia. Is there going to be a mane six/seven member for every continent?

11227617
Yessir. Seven adventures for the price of one. You get your money’s worth here… that’s if I was earning anything by writing this. :fluttercry:

A story about the Mane Six (and Spike) were somehow on Earth and are trapped at different parts of the world?

I'll definitely track this story.

And welcome back, deadpansnarker! :pinkiesmile:

11227561 He ends up in Uzbekistan... :rainbowhuh:

Now I simply must ask. Who's the poor mare to get dumped into the frozen wasteland of the arctic?

11227841
Thanks. Hope I've maintained it. :rainbowdetermined2:


11227915
Good to BE back... mostly. Still a few loons around, but you take the rough with the smooth, right? :twistnerd:


11228098
...It'd be even more of a struggle finding about about their history than the Chinese! Heck, I probably couldn't even SPELL it! :derpytongue2:


11229850
All good things and all that... :scootangel:

well atleast Spike could potentially send letters to Twi but nothing back. yet.

Spike's doing pretty well for himself, all things considered.

I arm myself with spare chopsticks, and I discover you there resting. Sorry I nudge you, but I need to see if you real. Not every day mythical creature end up in basement.”

I don't think anyone arms themselves with spare chopsticks, but I think that's a joke. Unless you aim for the eye, chopsticks are probably useless in a fight.

Also, in Chinese culture, dragons look very different than Spike, a being closer resembling the European idea of a dragon, so I don't think someone in China would see Spike and think that he's a dragon spirit or something. It would be more likely for one to think Spike is an exotic lizard, until he speaks, in my opinion.

11232408
It was probably the first thing she had to hand, before rushing off to see what the noise was… :moustache:

Also, seeing as no-one had actually ever seen a dragon in the flesh before in China, how could anyone tell what they actually looked like? Those other drawings could’ve been just artistic impressions… :rainbowderp:

Please don't tell me Twilight's gonna lose her wings. :fluttershysad: :fluttercry: :applecry:

Good to see Spike got the good ol honored dragon treatment, at least from this little girl.

As a native Chinese speaker who grew up in China, I'd like to say that most of us (or traditional Chinese people) would like to choose a Chinese Kitchen Knife rather than chopsticks to arm ourselves when feeling danger. Not carping, but you know, chopsticks are slippery and fragile, no one will choose them as their weapon.
But, since the mobile phone game and serials based on the western-fantasy fics have become famous in these years, Chinese who belong new generation could quickly figure out the western dragon or the traditional Chinese dragon (or Zhong Guo long in mandarin pinyin). Just no need to worry about millennials in china, they know a lot.

...... I wonder if Rarity ends up in Scotland.

It’s always sunny in equestria When will you update the story and bring new chapters please I really love the story don’t give up on it

Will this continue?

Wanting to see how will Spike do here.

Normally I'd say he's fine since dragons in Asia (where Spike ended up) are highly respected. The problem is, Spike is closer to a European dragon than those from Asia. So...
