The Sakido Enigma: Welcome to Equestria

By: rradt2001


Sakido Elexion is my official name, I was adopted by an angel called Darius. I am dead, but it is peaceful here. The calm is overwhelming, so is my sorrow. Being so close to freedom, just to have it snatched away from you. I knew from the time I was told by my real parents, when Demons die they don't go to hell or heaven. We just, die.

For awhile I thought that I would be here forever, but I saw something, a light unlike anything I've ever seen. It radiated serenity, as it beckoned me I moved towards it, and then I was surrounded by the light.


As the light faded I felt something, a body, my body. All I saw was what should be the sky.

"Is this what the sky is like on Medius?"I thought to myself.

I got up and saw a magnificent sight, a forest. I had only heard of them from my friend who wrote to me. He had said that they were filled with trees, like my bonsai except thicker trunks and taller. It was a magnificent sight. But it didn't last long, I noticed that everything was brightly colored. As if someone decided to take all the colors and amplify them to the max. When my friend told me what color everything is he said it was more dull, not brightly colored. I also noticed some flowers, they were vibrant in color.

It didn't last long because I heard sounds. I peaked from out of a bush, barely able to conceal me due to my height. And saw a creature unlike anything I've seen. Its color was lavender. It stood on four legs and had a tail, wings and a horn on its head. Sort of like the unicorn myth from Medius.

"Come on girls, lets investigate what happened." The Lavender one said.

After the lavender one followed five more, two with nothing, one with just a horn, and two with just wings. All a variety of color. Different from the other.

"In time I should reveal myself, but not now."I thought.


~~Princess Celestia~~
At the arrival of Sadiko

It was a normal day in canterlot, nothing much happening, but then there was a burst of magical energy coming from a forest near Ponyville.

"I must stay in Canterlot, but I will get Twilight to investigate."I thought.

"Dear, Twilight

I require your assistance in Investigating in the forest next to you, not the everfree though. I just felt burst of energy from that vicinity. But I must stay in Canterlot just in case something pops up.

Thanks, Princess Celestia"


~~Twilight~~

This was a nice, peaceful day. Nothing to worry about. Until that letter arrived. Now that me and my friends are ready, we can do investigate.

"You ready girls?" I asked.

"Yea!" They chorused.

I just hope it's not a monster.


~~Sakido~~

A few hours had passed by, leaving me hungry. I had no idea where I could eat, because I've never eaten before. So I found a wild apple tree and ate.

"Thank Gaia that I had such a good friend to tell me what an apple tree looks like."I thought, thankful I didn't have to die again to hunger.

After eating a few apples I decided to wander, pondering on what I should do. It was so peaceful, the only sound was that of the wind rustling the leaves. I also noticed that the trees were in rows, most likely planted on purpose.

About a few moments later I heard talking, so I decided to listen in on the conversation.

"This is going to be awesome!" A child's voice came.

"Yea, today is the day we get our cutie marks in being underwater treasure hunters!" Said another.

Then I heard a clank and apparently they left, because there was no more conversation.

So, I decided to follow them not wanting them to get hurt.


So, as it turns out, after a few hours of watching them I thought they were safe, ohhhh boy was I wrong.

They went under the crystal clear water and I saw little reed things pop up, most likely a source of air.

After a few moments of this, I noticed that the water was becoming murky from most likely mud.

Then is happened, the reeds disappeared and I saw bubbles floating up. So, I dived in. It was very hard, there was a monster of sorts in the lake, trying to suffocate them, I freed them and then it grabbed me, shaking me around vigorously.

My last thoughts were; "Will I die again?"


"What is it?" A voice said.

"Ah dunno, but whatever it is we better not mess with it." Another voice said, thick with an accent.

"Clearly it saved us, I mean it did pull us away from the monster." A third followed.

Then I open my eyes to see three small looking creatures. Presumably young ones due to their voice.

"Who are you three?" I asked, my voice soft due to my drowning earlier.

"We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" They chorused.

"Sorry miss, we didn't think you could talk. By the way my name is Apple Bloom!" Said Apple Bloom.

"My name is Scootaloo." She said.

"And I'm Sweetiebelle." Said Sweetiebelle.

"Ok, but I must ask you to please give me room to stand." I said, holding back on my aggravated side, not wanting to make them tell their guardians about me.

As I stood their eyes got wider and wider, as I spread my wings they looked as if they could faint.

"You look awesome!" Scootaloo commented.

"Thanks, but I must go." I said.

"Bye, we hope to see you again soon!" Said Sweetiebelle.


As I walked back into the forest, I noticed how lonely I was. My only company was the trees.

"I just hope tomorrow is a ripe opportunity for my introduction." I thought as I drifted to sleep.

It was that dream again.

"I haf partee." I said.

"I haf com to ur partee." Said an angry looking brightly colored Sakido.

I noticed everything was brightly colored so I ignored it.

"Yay Sakeedoh!" I said

"ARGGRR BUWARO IS KEWL." Said Rhea.

"Cant . . . reech . . . BOOZE!" Said Iratu arms reacing out to a glass bottle.

"Arms to SMALL." He finished.

"Thadios is hear two!" I said looking at my pet rock.

"Oh no luk its ROK-ZILLA!" I screamed.

But thats when the dream turned. The bright colors faded into the real colors, and the rock crushed Sakido causing a splatter of red to ooze everywhere. Then Rhea turned to me, her eyes red. Rhea then proceeded to beat me up with terra magic. But then I heard a voice, unlike anything I've heard before.

"Your life is filled with sorrow and pain, you must wake up." She said.

Thats when the dream ended.


-<>-Sakido-<>-

I was dreaming of a memory.

"Ugh, I'd complain that you live too far away, but if I were you I'd live far from Buwaro too! That idiot . . ." Rhea said.

CHOMP

Then Rhea and I both looked over to see Buwaro eating one of my bonsai! I got angry.

"Buwaro!!! Why the hell are you eating my bonsai!" I yelled.

"Mph? Now a bwofoffi?" He asked, mouth still full with my bonsai.

But then I woke up. I don't know why I had gotten mad, already knowing how naive he was.


-<>-Luna-<>-

"I know what I saw, but I should keep this to myself. For now anyways." I thought.

These, monsters were not like anything ever. Evil, created by evil yet still had family. It was complicated, but life must continue. I began writing.

"Dear, Twilight Sparkle

I am in need of your assistance, the being that is in the everfree is not harmful. But full of sorrow. If you can help her, she needs to be comforted.

Thanks, Luna"


-<>-Buwaro-<>-

I woke up in a forest, not in the city. I also noticed that Rhea and Snowy were there too, but asleep. Maybe it was a dream, but I noticed that I had woke up and I don't think you can wake up from a dream to be in another one.

"Rhea, wake up." I said, shaking her.

"What, can't I get a damn night without being disturbed." She grumbled.

"But were in a forest." I replied.

Rhea looked up and around.

"Wow we are in a forest, but how?" She said.

"I dunno, maybe we got in one of those weird portal thingies." I answered.

"Hey maybe we can find a new friend here!" I quickly said.

But as it may be, they would find new friends and be reunited with an old one. But that will have to be answered later.


-<>-Sakido-<>-

The woods were peaceful, not much but a slight breeze disturbing my hair. Then I heard a voice.

"This is a dream, but I am happy it is not the one that haunts you." Said the voice, filled with serenity.

"You must be plagued with what your life has haunted you with, it has left you with nothing. But there is a chance at seeing your relative and his friends again. But first you need to be prepared for the worst." The voice said.

"My brother?! But how can he be here!" I asked.

But then the dream must have been corrupted, because then I saw the horrors of my life. Filled with death and unending pain.

At that moment I awoke, feeling depressed I went to find the people that wanted to find me. For my life was truely a living hell.


-<>-Buwaro-<>-

It was morning and if we had any chance of finding new friends we had to get moving. So we headed on this dirt trail to what we hoped would be a way to civilization.

[Meanwhile in Ponyville]

-<>-Twilight-<>-

"Augh, we have to capture her, though Luna said herself that she is a monster?!" I said.

"Well, she did say "Not harmful"." Spike said, trying to comfort me.

"Thats just it though, how will we know how she acts when we try to capture her!" I yelled in frustration.

"Well, lets eat breakfast first. I'm starved!" Said Spike, lightening the mood.

What they didn't know is that Sakido might be a bit accepting at first.

Ponies, meet a Demon, an Angel, and a Jakkai

-<>-Buwaro-<>-

"Hey guys why are we following this trail again?" I questioned.

"Uhh, because it leads to, I dunno, civilization?" Rhea said.

"Oh" I replied.

It was a awesome day, the woods were even cooler! But what was strange was a tiny trail in the middle of the woods.

"Hey, I see an exit from the woods!" I say.

"Hey, theres people, I can hear them, lets see if they have food!" Said Rhea, seemingly ravenous.

So we started running up to them and they weren't people at all, they were tiny horses, talking! If only Thadius (My pet rock) were here to see them.

Once we got to them they saw us and they all passed out. I have no clue why, but it must be some good reason.

"Hey Rhea? Why do you think they passed out?" I asked, curious about what happened.

"Most likely because they've never seen a Demon or Jakkai nor maybe not even an Angel before." She answered.

"I hope they're not out long." Kieri said.

Luckily for us in a few minutes they woke up, one even said "I'm pancake!" which confused me. They looked like very colorful horses to me, but Rhea whispered to me when I asked that they were ponies since ponies were smaller.

-<>-Rhea-<>-

"This is new." I thought to myself.

When the ponies saw us they, being the apparent racists that they are, decided to scream 'Monster' and panic. Then they ran around, making a mess of everything. Next thing I know we are surrounded by six of them.

"Stop hurting ponies!" Said one.

"Uh, if you'll excuse me, but we aren't hurting anyone." Said Keiri timidly.

"Then why is everypony running around, scared half to death?!" Yelled the same pony.

"Because when we walked into town they assumed we were monsters. I mean, all we did was stand. Next thing we know, they're running around, scared shitless for no good reason." I retorted.

"Damn, these ponies are getting on my nerves." I thought while rubbing my temples.

"Oh, that explains it. Ponyville, even though its a Tuesday, these aren't monsters. Calm down, no need to panic because they are just standing there. Oh, by the way, my name is Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said.

One hour later.

"Okay, so you are a Jakkai and the purple guy-"

"Buwaro." I interjected.

"Buwaro is a demon, though he's supposedly nice, and Keiri is an Angel?" Asked Twilight.

"Yes, that is correct." I answered.

"Well, that is interesting, hopefully we can be friends?" She asked.

I was taken aback by this, no one really ever wanted to be friends with me. I'm stuck with Buwaro, and I'm sure Keiri doesn't see me as a friend. So for a person to want to be my friend in kinda new. Other than the few friends I have, I have no-one else.

"Hey, why aren't you talking?" Asked Pinkie Pie.

"Well, not many people or ponies in your case have ever wanted to be friends with me. Except for two I have." I added.

I heard a huge gasp as Pinkie sucked in a huge amount of air. I swear on my life, some day she'll pop from getting to much air.

"I need to make you a HUGE party, stat!" She said as she practically teleported away.

"Wow, that's deep." Added Rainbow Dash.

As the day went on, we had a nice time. Talking, asking questions, and the such. We were even offered a place to stay. We could finally get some sleep. All thanks to Fluttershy.

-<>-Twilight-<>-

Today was a nice day, it was made better when I was able to make some new friends.

I should send a letter to Celestia. I thought, not wanting to disappoint my mentor.

"Dear, Princess Celestia

My friends and I had a nice day today. That is until we heard ponies screaming 'monster'. Turns out they were not monsters, just ponyville being ponyville. I don't blame them, they thought it was an average Tuesday. They were a Demon, Angel, and a Jakkai three species from somewhere unknown. Fist thing did when we got inside was ask them questions, they happen to all be friendly. They are staying at Fluttershy's cottage.

Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle"

-<>-Rhea-<>-

As I was laying I was thinking of the day to come, what would happen and other things along those lines. As it turns out, the beds we are using are really soft, I swear that I'll get the best sleep yet. I just hope that the leaders of the nation that may or may not come see us are accepting of the fact that a Demon and an Angel are in the country. Just thinking about what would happen if they were to not allow Buwaro in made me shiver. I also was thinking, would my friends miss me? I mean, me just suddenly disappearing, that has to worry them. What if they think I'm dead, or worse, what if they think someone took me and they go on this long adventure to find out that nothing happened to me? There was too many questions and not enough answers, so I decided to go to sleep and wait until tomorrow to worry about my problems and to worry about our whole group instead of just me. As I was falling asleep, I heard something saying "Sleep, you have nothing to fear."

As my problems faded, I was left to myself to ask who that was. But I could worry about that later, now I need to sleep.
