A 13 year old kid gets sent to Equestria and has to survive there for long enough to get home.
A 13 year old kid named David Riviara gets sent to Equestria and has to survive there for long enough to get rid of the enemy of his named Shayne Parker from Equestria. His life was lived as an OutCast on Earth, now that He's in Equesrtia will it change with who he is and his music? Join him in his journey through a week in PonyVille, Cloudsdale, and Canterlot. But will he or will he not come out alive?
Sadly, my story begins as most do. In a dark alleyway, bleeding out; Earlier that day I pissed off my number 1 enemy, Shayne Peirce, along with his group of "Terminators," as they called themselves. Well, they started chasing me after my natural middle school day ended. This time they chased me till I had no choice but to run off campus and into an alleyway. I was beaten till near death.
This is where I am now, broken, beaten, and scarred, but even time is against me right now because it slows for pain in my body to gain onto me faster. My legs, right arm, and a bunch of other bones, are broken and I can only try and crawl further into the alley. Then, when I think it's over, Shayne pulls out a 0.375 Magnum Revolver, and aims straight at my head. Then, there was a blinding light, the sound of gunfire, and then I was falling from the sky, losing consciousness. I don't know how high up I was, 20,000, and 30,000, 40,000 feet maybe? About seven minutes after free fall, I lost conscious of my self but could see what was happening, and all I saw was my own blood coming out of a good-sized bullet wound. Shayne's gun must've hit me before that blinding light did, everything else I saw was either a blur, or covered by my blood. Then, I hit the ground. After a few hours, I regained consciousness, and opened my eyes. I believe completely that I was hallucinating. Because I saw the Pony named Nurse Redheart standing over, confused but tightening a bandage that covered my bullet wound. I managed out of my mouth weakly "What... the hell... h-happened... to me-" then I fell into unconsciousness again.
The next day, I opened my eyes hoping that everything I saw recently was a fake, as my life usually goes, I was wrong. I was greeted by 6 hearty "Howdy/Hi/ Hiya/Hello/Um...hi/ this thing sure can sleep a lot" quotes. I looked around at the 6 Ponies standing around the bed I was laying in. They were all close to the bed, almost lying on top of me. I recognized them because I watch the they are included in on Earth, because I know that this isn't Earth, which is My little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Finally, I said "How did I get here?" I received a quick answer from Twilight. "We don't know how you got here, or even who you are. So, who are you, where did you come from, and why can you talk like us?" She spoke to me like I was some sort of demon. I looked down at my scars and broken bones, then I finally said "I am David Riviara (Riv-ee-air-uh), I come from Earth, of the year 2012, with a vocal box in my throat just like you. And please don't treat me like a demon; I've already had a day of full hell, my own blood, and hatred against me. I beg of you Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash... Do not treat me as an outcast. I've had one thing go through my body, I don't want my heart to fall into nothingness because my favorite ponies treat like an outcast, or a shadow, or an obstacle in your way." They all said at once "How do you know who we are?"
After a few minutes of me explaining to them that on Earth there's a show with them in it as the Main Characters, Twilight said "Well, that's fascinating to hear about your world, and I promise you we won't treat you like an outcast. Do you need us to get you somewhere?" I slowly looked down when she asked me that, because I had realized that I no longer have a home. "Can I stay with one of you, because I technically have no home...” I said slowly and sadly. Twilight said "You can stay at my Library until you find a home I guess." Pinkie immediately said "SLEEPOVER AT TWILIGHT'S! YIPPEE!"I tried standing, but I merely fell over sleepily. Twilight and the others asked me if I was okay and needed help, but I told them that I would be fine. We eventually arrived at Twilight's Library; I fell at least twenty times on the way there. I told Twilight "I need to do some research for a bit okay, I need to find out about something. You go ahead and have your sleepover, you won't even notice me." Twilight said, "You can stand on your own, for at least as long as you say. We'll stay out of your way." When they turned the lights out to tell scary stories is when they noticed me. I forgot to tell them that when I'm in darkness, or at least full darkness, I hallucinate the scary things people say. Such as demon, ghouls, ghosts, and even I can hurt myself because I am hallucinating these things. I fought my own sanity to keep it from dropping, but it made them become a bit freaked out with me there. I was sitting in a chair when Twilight walked over to me and said, "Are you okay?" Honestly, I she jump-scared me so much that I knocked over 28 books and fell downstairs into their sleepover party. "Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!" I said continuously as I fell down the stairs. I looked around when I landed and saw red. Twilight trotted over to me, but she looked like a demon sent to kill me. I crawled into a corner and started muttering something. It sounded something like this "No, not them. Not the Grunts and Brutes. I hear the guitar, but I don't want to die. No, NO!" then I stood and ran to another corner, but I collapsed when I got there. Twilight turned on the lights, but I was still freaking out. My Sanity lowered a few minutes later and I realized I had scars on my chest, face, legs, arms, and neck. They all got fearful of what I was doing, and why. I saw that they were confused and freaking out, so I did what I do when I panic, I ran. Twilight and the others started running after me, I think I heard Luna with them. I didn’t care; I was too scared that they wouldn’t be my friends after seeing that. I usually expect that since I’m basically an Outcast on Earth. Then I realized that I had my two-handed sword and both my dueling swords. I also realized that I had my black feather duster on, along with my black shoes, and black tux pants. None of this stopped me to think twice, I ran to the Everfree Forest and then to the tallest mountain. I kept my distance from Ponyville, Canterlot, and other pony cities. Sadly, I never stopped until I got into a cave; I never thought to find out why they were running after me. I pulled out each of my swords, knives, and my pistols that I forgot I even had until they fell out of the holsters. I walked out of the cave, it was just breaching dawn, and I stood on the cliff, like a silhouette in the shadows of New York or Los Angeles. I don’t know if I could be seen, then Celestia and a few Pegasus Guards, along with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Twilight teleporting, Pinkie ‘breaking’ physics, and Luna (standing in complete darkness though). And I just stood there, until Celestia said, “Sir David Riviara, we need to speak with you.” I gave the general response I usually give. “Okay, I’m ready. Take me in to another prison cell for no reason. Just let me grab my supplies. I’m an Outcast so I’m used to this. Being treated like shit or a shadow from hell or even a recluse/ dweller/ unwanted bastard isn’t new. “ I said with no intent of sarcasm and laughter. I went in the cave, grabbed my Swords, Knives, and Pistols. I holstered all of them, went back to where I was at first. Celestia and the others laughed at my words while I got my tools. I sang an old song to myself by The Who, which is the song “Behind Blue Eyes.” I finally sang out “No one knows what it’s like to be hated, to be faded. To telling only lies, but my dreams; they aren’t as empty, as my conscience seems to be.” I didn’t expect this myself; I fell backwards, off the cliff. Rainbow Dash chased after me, but I was merely too fast, until she did her Sonic Rainboom. Then she ‘grabbed me with her teeth’ I guess is how I’ll put it. Then Twilight teleported us back up there and I tried to jump back off the cliff back Celestia kept me floating in the air as they talked to me. “LET ME GO! YOU’RE JUST GOING TO PUT ME IN A CELL JUST LIKE EVERYONE DOES! LET ME GO! I KNOW YOU HATE ME! I’D RATHER DIE THAN GO INTO ANOTHER CELL!” I screamed out, my voice cracking every once in a while. “What makes you think that we hate you? Or even put you in a cell?” Celestia said. “I know how my life goes and will always go.” I said beginning to cry. “I get found looking like a person that will hurt someone, or even kill, and get arrested for walking around. Then I’m in jail, prison, or an insane asylum. I don’t deserve that!” I yelled voice cracking with tears nearly fully streaming out of my eyes, which are bloodshot. My face is red and I looked like a 6 year old that is freaking out full of fear. Celestia dropped me. I just lay there, motionless, but crying. Yes, I was crying because I was truly scared that they would lock me up till I die. Pinkie Pie came over and nudged her head into my back. I sat up, slumping forward. Then Fluttershy and the other 4 Mane 6 laid down around me. Then I stopped crying, and got up. I walked to the cliff, turned around, kneeled down, and prayed to both god and Celestia even though she was in front of me. I prayed this “Dear god and Celestia, I will give my own life to save Equestria and it’s inhabitants. So if I have to, help me make sure this happens.” I remembered something I said earlier in the year, before this happened, “I’d rather die fighting to save many than save myself. No matter where I go, Heaven or Hell, I’ll die to save many than save myself.” Cassie told me “You would doing something good, but also something bad by letting me lose a friend.” I replied, “You know I’ll be around even if I die, well you and Sydney.” I remembered that as if it was yesterday. “We have a lot of time left on our hands, so hell let’s do some thing fun. Rainbow Dash, do not catch me.” I said as I fell off the cliff, for a reason though. I hit the ground, but not as a normal human; I hit the ground kneeling, Two-Handed sword in front of me, blade in ground, hilt in hand. Rainbow and the others arrived behind me about a minute to two minutes later. I might as well have some fun while I’m here. For this week is a mystery. I wish I had my guitar though, or at least my Macintosh HD Prototype 4 from my house.
We got to Twilight’s Tree House and I fell asleep on the way there. Turns out that Applejack carried me there, and somehow I am about the same height as the Ponies, and Celestia and Luna are taller. I think I was laid down on a very large bed because I could feel Twilight and the others, except Celestia and Luna, slide in around me. I made sure I took up very little room. Then, Something happened that even I didn’t expect, Pinkie (being first) and the others kissed me on the forehead. And for the first time, I felt welcome to be somewhere. Somewhere that I can actually call… Home.
Honestly, I asked Twilight stupidly “What day is it?” even though I knew that ponies use same weekday names as us. “Tuesday, why ask?” she said. “No reason, just forgot the day.” I replied. Way before I knew it, I was wishing I’d never woken up today. I began to walk out the door, when Twilight stopped me and asked, “Are you going to eat some breakfast? You do eat right?” I replied “Yes, but I’m not that hungry right now. Where’d the others go?” She told me and I said that I ‘d be back in a few hours, I also told her that she should gather everyone in the town center at 3:00 P.M today, that I’ve got something to show them. I walked around town a bit and gather/ bought some things. I then went to Sugarcube Corner and got some help from Pinkie Pie. She knew how to make a Banjo, so I’d thought that she might be able to help make some Electric Guitars. We made ten in total plus a 10,000 power Amplifier. I then went to Applejack’s with Pinkie Pie to get some more help.
We took a large container with the supplies we needed up on top of a small mountain next to the town, with perfect view of the town center. I asked Applejack and Pinkie Pie “Do you two know how to build a stage?” They both said, “Yes.” It took us about five hours to build the stage, not including the extra two painting and working out the electrical system. By them time we finished it was about 2:45 P.M and I said to AJ and Pinkie “Y’all go on to town, I’ve got the rest from here.” I kept on working till the stage had a lighting and paint design that read “Aerosmith & Old Republic” out large enough it could be seen from Canterlot. It was 2:59 P.M and Showtime. I waked up to the Microphone, and waited a single minute. I watched the ponies gather round the town center. I grabbed the first Guitar out the ten Pinkie and I made. It is called The Edge, matching the first song I was going to play. I started playing the Aerosmith song “Livin’ on the Edge.” I walked up to the mic and started the lyrics, “There’s something wrong with the world today, and I don’t know what it is. Somethin’s wrong with our eyes. We’re singing things in a different way, and god knows it ain’t his. It sure ain’t no surprise. Yeah! We’re Livin’ on the Edge! … Livin’ on the Edge! … Livin’ on the Edge! … Livin’ on the Edge! … There’s somethin’ wrong with the world today, the light bulbs getting dim. There’s meltdown in the sky. Ha-ha-ha-ha…If you can judge a wise man, by the color of his skin, Then mister you’re a better man than I. Oh! Livin’ on the Edge! (You can’t help yourself from fallin’) Livin’ on the Edge! (You can’t help yourself at all) Livin’ on the Edge! (You can’t stop yourself from fallin’) Livin’ on the Edge! … Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion, complication – aggravation, is getting to you. (Yeah!) If Chicken Little tells you that the sky is fallin’. Even if it was would you still come crawlin’ back again. I bet you would my friend again and again and again and again and again…(x2) Somethin’ right with the world today, and everybody knows it’s wrong. But we can tell ‘em no or we could let it go, but I would rather be a hanging on… LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! (You can’t help yourself from fallin) LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! (You can’t help yourself at all) LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE (You can’t stop yourself from fallin’) LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH… … LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! (You can’t help yourself from fallin’) LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! (You can’t help yourself at all) LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! (You can’t stop from fallin’) LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! (You can’t help yourself. you can’t help yourself) LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! (You can’t help yourself at all) LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! (You can’t help yourself. you can’t help yourself) LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! (You can’t help yourself. you can’t help yourself) LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE! (You can’t help yourself from fallin’) LIVIN ON THE EDGE! … Huh-huh-huh-huh…” I stopped and got complete silence. Then… the clopping of hooves, and cheering, I don’t mean just the town of Ponyville. Cloudsdale apparently listened, along with Canterlot. I was stunned, because I sang and played Lead Guitar on an Aerosmith song, with computerized drums, bass, and background guitar. I sang it perfectly, with no booing. And so I yelled out through the mic “Do you all want another song?” My reply was absolute deafening cheering. I grabbed my next Guitar, Joe Perry’s ’59 Les Paul (remake). So I started the last Aerosmith on Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. Kings and Queens. I began playing. “(Guitar Intro) Long ago in days untold, were ruled by lords of greed. Maidens fair, with gold they dared. To bare their wombs that bleed. Kings and Queens, and guillotines; taking lives denied. Starch and parchments, laid the laws when bishops took the ride. Only to deceive; Oh I know I lived this life before. Somehow I know now, truths I must be shown. Tossin’, turnin’, Nightmares burnin’ dreams of sword in hand. Sailing ships the Viking spits the blood of fathers’ land; only to deceive. Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha. Living times of knights and mares, raising swords for maidens fair; Sneer at death, fear only loss of pride. Living other centuries, déjà vu or what you please; follows true to all who do or die. SCREAMS OF NO REPLY! THEY DIED! SCREAMS OF NO REPLY! AND DIED! (Guitar solo) Let them do or die! They died! Let them do or die! And died! …” I ended with a sad light fade into blackness. I got a bunch of cheering and hoof clopping within sixty seconds. I knew that I had done well. Then I pressed on my manual light automaton, and up came the Aerosmith symbol with Kings and Queens under it, also with my band’s title, The Old Republic. I got even more cheering after that. I grabbed my finishing Guitar, starlight laser instrument that shoots laser from the stage; it has a platinum painting with a silvery glow off of it. Now I played one of my own guitar songs, it has no lyrics, but it’s called Song for Sorrow. I made it myself through some time of screwin’ around playing random notes. After I finished it, it was about 10:00 P.M, so I walked up to the mic and yelled out “Tuesday’s Gone!”
I asked Celestia if the stage could stay there, she said it could, as long as I made sure to keep in perfect condition. I put my guitars in a cart, except the Starlight Laser Silver Guitar (I need a better name for it). I got a lot of signature requests, and I signed them all. Then I asked out loud “What should I name this guitar?” I got no reply, until someone in the back yelled out “How about Starlight?” I said, “Whoever just said that, you just gave it a name!” I started a random guitar riff and then sang out “The Train Kept a Rollin’ all night long! The Train kept a Rollin’ all night long! Sing with me!” Everypony did as I asked, and everyone/pony started singing out “The Train Kept a Rollin’ all night long,” about 5 times. This day felt great, I enjoyed what I did, also to give joy to others by playing to them. After we finished, I walked to Twilight, and asked “I’m gonna see if I could stay with Fluttershy or someone, I don’t want to be too much trouble for you.” Twilight told me “Okay but remember this, you never were any trouble. It’s a great thing getting to know that you aren’t the only civilization out there.” I smiled when she said that. I walked over to Pinkie Pie and asked “Hey Pinkie, could stay at your place tonight? Because I don’t want to be too much trouble for Twilight, so can I?” My reply was silence, then a smile, then cheering and screaming. Gotta love that from Pinkie Pie, especially when she says, “YES, YES, YES!” and then she gives you a giant hug that has the power to take you down in one blow. I went into Pinkie’s Room, set my stuff down (the swords, knives, guns, and guitars and amp) then asked if I was in a guest room. Pinkie said, “We don’t have a guest room silly filly.” “Where do I sleep then?” I asked confused. “You get to sleep with me. It’ll be fun! I don’t bite!” she said. I said, “Well… Yeah, Sing with me, sing for the year, sing for the laughter; sing for the tear. Sing with me, if it’s just for today, maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away.” I said in a singing tone. She jumped on me, happy as one can be. Then I realized that she was crying. I held Pinkie close, knowing that she was truly happy, and I began crying, because Pinkie felt like a sister then. I never had a sister, I was an only child; I never had heard of family because my parents died when I was five. I learned how to use my surroundings to my advantage. I got some 80,000 dollars in the process, I was part courier, part singer, part computerized architectural designer, and part combat expertise. I bought the two knives first, then the duel swords, then the two-handed sword, then the pistol. I made myself a guitar and amp. The Guitar had a vinyl list of all my favorite bands/musicians. Now, now I finally learned what family is, and love. Pinkie feels like a sister, I’d always wanted one. I love her dearly and will do anything to protect, as I will the entire planet. Twilight feels like a best friend, like the one I had back on earth. I miss Cassie, but am glad I’m here. I wish you were here Cassie; you’d love this because I know you love ponies too. I also miss her dearly, because… I love her, not like a sister, but like a guy and girl in school.
Half my life’s been in books, written pages, lived and learned, from fools and from sages. You know it’s true. People rarely noticed me, unless I somehow pissed them off. I never did anything, except in self-defense. I never picked fights, I don’t choose who my friend is. I work my way to friendship, and out of fights. People in my school are too weak-minded and little common knowledge to realize that I’m stronger and have the common sense that fighting ruins your reputation in the future. So all I say is “Dream on, Dream on, Dream on, Dream until your dreams come true. (Repeat twice ((last time “AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH”))) Sing with me, sing for the year, sing for the laughter, sing for the tear. Sing with me, if it’s just for today, maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.” I let go of Pinkie, then I went and I lay down on Pinkie’s bed, very tired. Pinkie lay down next to me; I nudged my head under her neck, I never known what a pony’s neck felt like. Pinkie’s neck felt softer than the softest wool on earth, plus, she was purring kinda like a cat. Her neck was very warm, and very comfy. I felt like a little kid, being taking care by a big sister. I fell asleep almost instantaneously. I was able to stay awake, I knew that I snore, I don’t want to ruin her night, and I don’t dream anything anyways, so I can’t ruin her night. I decided to dream awake, and not sleep that entire night. Pinkie seems so peaceful; it’s cute. She’s just like the girl I like, Cassie. I knew that Cassie and her were alike, but not this much. Both purr like a cat, both love having fun, and parties, both have a warm neck, and both have poofy hair. I waited, and then I felt a buzz on my leg. It was my phone. I pulled it out, making sure that the light was not facing Pinkie. I had gotten a text message, but how? I have no clue. It is from Sydney, it read, “Where in hell and earth are you?! You can’t disappear on Cassie, and me she’s very sad, and I’m very worried. Where are you David?” I began to text back “I’m on Equestria, don’t know how it happened. I’ll send you a pic tomorrow, all I can say is that I nearly lost my life yesterday because of Shayne. Don’t try doing anything to him; I’ll deal with him when and if I get back. Tell Cassie… I love her.” I close the slide screen and locked the phone. I checked my time before I did though. It is 2:58 A.M apparently Equestrian time. I checked the rest of my pockets for anything else random. I found my IPod, 5,890 dollars, which would explain why Shayne chased me, and 18 extra pistol mags. I checked for one last thing on my back. I found my first sword, an old wooden training sword.
First daylight just broke. It’s officially my third day on Equestria.
I somehow fell asleep at around 5:oo P.M Equestrian Standard Time with my head inside Pinkie Pie’s neck. Turns out that I am much shorter than ponies, and I’m 5.6 in height. Ponies differ in size too. Pinkie is only five inches taller than I, standing on two legs though. Pinkie woke up soon after I did. We were kinda embarrassed when we both woke up like that, my head at her neck, her arms around me. We were looking at each other as well. I said that I was gonna go for a walk, alone. I need a breather for a day. I’ve been letting these days go by too fast already. I stopped by Sweet Apple Acres and got some apples to eat. I got some breakfast on my way out of town as well. Although, I was asked if I needed anything and could something awesome on the way; I had answered every time “I need some slow time, in my life I like to have some time to myself, okay? I’m just going for a walk; I’ll be doing stuff tomorrow though. Sorry.” I had my weaponry with me as I walked up the mountain that the stage is on. I sat down on the stage and pulled my two-handed sword out. I began to practice with it. I pushed a button on the stage light show setup. Some training dummies popped up for me to use as weapon training dummies. I broke each of the dummies then felt someone walk up behind me, on reflex I felt endangered and swung the sword around, stopping it just before it cut off Rainbow Dash’s head, along with Pinkie’s. I dropped the sword immediately and fell to the ground, freaking out over what I’d almost done. Rainbow and Pinkie walked over to me and asked me “What’s wrong? That can’t hurt us, right?” I said, “It can, and I almost killed two of the ponies that are most important to me. How can you trust me to have good reflex’s again if that happens?” Then Pinkie said from over towards the stage setup area, “What’s this button do?” as she pressed a heart-shaped button. “NO!” I yelled as I saw the light’s come up in a specific pattern reading out “Cassie & David” I was so embarrassed that I instantly fell to my knees, crying. I ran and grabbed my sword and microphone from the stage, bypassing my guitars. I grabbed my electric acoustic when I passed them. I ran, never stopped. I ran into Canterlot, hoping I could hide somewhere. I ran into the Canterlot Caves to hide. I hid because I would never be accepted, or I think I won’t. I began to sing an old song that I listened top all the time, well I still do actually. “Here we are far beyond the distant sky. Seen all the world and how the story will be over. Through the snow and tainted mountains we have climbed. Now we have found the light that guides us over. Through the falling rain we travelled far and wide. And through the blackest darkness stars above shining bright. Through the sun and winter rain will fall. All our lives we all were waiting for a sign to call. We're walking hand in hand in dreams of endless time How do we know when we will leave this life behind? Stare at life through eyes of mine. The hate, the fear and the pain. There's a feeling held deep inside. When life you live is in vain Life you live is in vain... Fly away down the lonely roads of yesterday. We close our eyes to see the light of brighter days. And all alone we'll be where time can never heal. With the Trail Of Broken Hearts flying free. Once again we walk this lonely road. There are times that we were wading through the rain and cold We're lost in memories of what we left behind Relive the dreams, the endless screams of pain inside Lives are filled with emptiness. The fear returns once again Searching endlessly now we will see Drown your mind in the pain Drown your mind in the pain... Fly away down the lonely roads of yesterday....... The last temptation will be all that's left for me .When I see those tears you cried. When I hear those lies you lied When I feel all creation now falling down on me Is this the reason to be? [Solos] Fly away down the lonely roads of yesterday. We close our eyes to see the light of brighter days. And all alone we'll be where time can never heal. With the Trail Of Broken Hearts flying free. The Trail Of Broken Hearts flying free.........” I had been crying since about halfway through the song. I hadn’t noticed the Mane 6 hugging me until I finished the entire song. They where crying too, I hugged each of them as they picked me up on their back and carried me out of the caves. Right up to Celestia’s palace. They began crying more when they dropped me at her throne. She wasn’t pleased by her look. I knew my judgment… Imprisonment, and I’m not going to accept it. I stood up, looking down. “Do you know you’re judgment, David Riviara?” Celestia said evilly. “I do, but good getting me to it. Because you forgot one thing.” I said deviously. “What could this one thing possibly be?” Celestia questioned me ever so simply. I smiled and said “My Soul and My Spirit Will Go On, For All of Eternity.” I then turned and ran, jumped out the nearest window, not realizing the free fall I was accepting. I disappeared, as they would say. I just ran back to the stage on the mountain. I waited an entire day, knowing I wasn’t good unless I was dead. I guess I now face false judgment on two planets, being an Outcast is my true destiny I guess. I don’t think I deserve this. I guess I’ll always get what I deserve, even though I don’t deserve what I get. I’ll always deserve less of what I get and more of what I’m not given. I’ll die in vain this way if I just sit here. I LIVE on the Trail of Broken Hearts, I wish I could be back with Cassie and Sydney because they would comfort me, instead of turn me in for death. I’ve escaped death to much as Celestia sees it. Survived from killing anyone. I’ve survived without killing because I can but can’t kill a pony. I was lucky reflex-wise once. I can’t save them again. They’ll be on their own. Then I remembered my prayer. “Dear god and Celestia, I will give my own life to save Equestria and it’s inhabitants. So if I have to, help me make sure this happens.” I remembered it ever so perfectly. My life is doomed to force me to be trapped till death. I can save them, but that’ll be until I die. “I’m an Outcast,” I said out loud. “I’M THE OUTCAST! FOREVER UNFORGIVEN, FOREVER DISPIED BY ALL! IS THIS WHAT HE TRULY DESERVES! THINK BEFORE YOU ACT! FOR I HAVE A HEART TOO CELESTIA! I WILL GIVE MY LIFE TO SAVE, NOT TO KILL! BUT NOW I SAY THAT I’D RATHER DIE THAN SAVE THIS WORLD ALONE!” I yelled out loud enough Manehattan could hear. I used the mic though. I face the truth; I only have Cassie, Tyler, Quinn, Michael, Russell, Christian, Messiyah, and no one else… not even the Mane 6. I’m truly alone right now, because all my real friends are on Earth. What is my life truly worth?
I heard someone behind me brush pass some tree limbs. By reflex I pulled my sword out and turned, pointing the sword at them. It was Pinkie Pie. I backed up, further onto the stage. Pinkie ran to me and knocked me over, lying on top of me crying. My sword fell out of my hands about three feet next to me. Then Twilight and the rest did just the same, but slower. I began crying because I had made them cry. That’s what I said that I would and shall never do.
I was given a lift to Rainbow Dash’s house, by Rainbow Dash herself. I can also stand on clouds as we found out then when I got to her house. I never actually seen her house from the show, but when I did, it looked amazing. She had one bed as well, but she said that it would be fine. She stood next to me, looking a little sad, until I hugged and thanked her for letting me stay after I almost cut off her head. She had a balcony on her house and I stood out on it for a long time, gaining my own power by darkness itself. Then she came out and pulled me in; only giving 30% power regenerates. She pulled me to her bed because she thought I had fallen asleep standing. I looked at her in a funny way when she let me go. “Oh, I thought you fell asleep.” Rainbow Dash said. “I rarely sleep nowadays.” I said. “You really need to sleep some. It good for you.” she said. “I know, but I’m used to not sleeping.” I said. “Why do you sleep so little, David?” Rainbow Dash asked me. “I… I’m just am used to being a courier, a builder, and a writer that I never had time to sleep when I was working so I just don’t sleep very often even when I’m tired. I don’t know why exactly sleep so little, I just do. I’ve tried to sleep more often, but it doesn’t work, even if I take sleeping pills. It all started when I was 11. I was going through a destroyed city, at nighttime, and the buildings were still falling apart, this is when I started to sleep less. I went into one of the buildings to scavenge for some food. I got to the top of a building, into a work office. I began scavenging towards the window and the floor began to crack. The floor fell out from under me and the entire building began falling opposite of where I fell. I began sliding down the building as it fell. Then, after 73 seconds I entered a full drop and received free fall. When I hit the ground I did my best to roll, but I still broke a few bones. That was one of the hardest nights I ever had,” I told Rainbow Dash. “I had never been scared as much in my life as I was then.” I said. Then Rainbow Dash put her head up against my neck, I thought about what she was doing, then I realized it… she has no family either. I hugged her and said “We both nearly have the same lifestyle, except you have great friends that will always be there for you. That’s almost something I never had.”
After a few minutes she went inside and I was out looking into the sky, wind breezing in my hair since the wind was heading North, North West. Then I heard the sound of wings flapping to a stop, the clopping of hooves, and then they said “David Riviara, right?” I responded “Yes, what do you need Princess Luna?” She was startled with how I knew it was she. “I received a warrant from Celestia with you on it, care to maybe explain? Or has she tried to put you in jail for no reason?” “It’s the second,” I replied “why does she always blame the Outcast-like figure?” She told me “I don’t know why, but eventually she’ll be framed for something and no one will believe her. Well, she might actually be conning with some random group out there somewhere so they can take Equestria.” “If that happens, then whoever she’s helping will have to kill me to take Equestria. I will give a harder time than finding a needle in a haystack, or like the time Germany tried one last push on the Allies in World War II. If I’m able to fight for something I love, I fight till death, even if death overcomes me, my soul will fight until it loses itself. I tell no one this, but I’m sort of invincible, in a way. I can die, yes, but I’m reborn from an unseen element named Element 115 within seconds.” I said breaking almost all state of mind Luna probably had, I had hoped I hadn’t though. “H-how? Can you show anything special you can do? Can you fly? Well, never mind, you don’t have wings, but can you do something like that?” She asked joyously. “Excuse me? You don’t have to have wings to fly. I CAN fly, I don’t have wings, no, but I CAN fly. I have some things to show you, if we ever go into some sort of battle while I’m here.” I said. “Can you show me how you fly!?” She asked wanting more and more. “I’ll show you tomorrow night, okay Luna? I’m a little bit too tired.” I said feeling sorry because I hadn’t gotten enough Lunar Power. I had lied to a Princess, and I hated myself. I saw that Skittles (Rainbow Dash) had fallen asleep already, so I decided to get a few pillows she wasn’t using and a few extra blankets and sleep on the chair next to her bed.
She must’ve already been awake; because by the time I woke up I was the only one in the room. I had apparently slept through about half the day because it was bright outside. I got up and walked out onto the balcony, my eyes were stung by the sun. I waited a few minutes and Rainbow Dash came out onto the balcony to join me. I was doing just what I was doing the night before, gaining energy. She waited at the door. I said, “You should be out there flying, Skittles. It’s what you do right?” She replied to me quickly “I was trying to find you so I could take you flying.” I gave her an even faster reply “I can fly myself, but without wings.” After that she started a sentence and I jumped over the balcony and shot forwards like a rocket, a Lime Green Laser trailing behind me. She raced after me and caught up to me. I said, “If you want to follow, you got to be faster than your Sonic Rainboom. Because I beat the Light barrier.” Then I shot forwards even faster than before, faster than a rocket. I turned to go upwards, I kept the same speed until I hit around 100,000 feet up in the air. I cut out the speed and entered free-fall. I fell for about 100 feet then created a Sonic Blast that could be seen from Canterlot, it was Lime Green, and I passed Rainbow with no sound, just the Lime Green Laser. I flew straight at Canterlot, aiming for the top of the Palace. I passed right over Canterlot faster than anyone/anypony could blink. Then I flew up again, doing a very large loop. I then aimed for a very large field that isn’t in use. I found one. I flew even faster at it. Then I noticed something, another human, in full Bio-suit Armor; and a ship, with the initials S.P on it. Shayne Peirce. How is this possible? I don’t care anymore. I flew straight at the ship. Breaking all record speeds. I pulled back a fist when I got close enough, I reached the ship and I punched it. Blasting a Laser beam into the atmosphere and farther; Shayne Peirce was the one standing outside. He turned around in time to witness the demolition of his ship. He radioed something in for someone somewhere. I lunged out of the ship into him, beating him out of Hell and into Oblivion. He tapped a watch of his and I slowed down very easily, but could hear everything as normal. He said evilly “You’re lucky that I’m waiting till tomorrow to end your puny life and this puny world. I mean, seriously; a Pony world, a My Little Pony World? It needs to be ended.” Him saying all of this infuriated me. I broke the time freeze that he put me in; I grabbed him, pulled out my broadsword, and put it at his throat. He said, “You can’t kill me. You can’t do it. You’re too weak minded.” I said furiously, “Watch me,” as I slipped the sword through his throat, but he just flickered and blinked out. He was a Hologram. He’s still out there. Princess Luna landed next to me, along with Celestia, Rainbow Dash, a few Pegasus Guards, Fluttershy, some random ponies, one that I knew because he is just like me. Starlight. I said “Starlight, come here,” as they kept landing around me. “How do you know who I am?” he whispered to me confusingly as he emerged from the crowd. “We are the same, from different worlds though… You can fight right?” I asked him. “Yeah, the only one to be faster than Rainbow Dash, and best combat efficiency.” Starlight said. Rainbow came dashing out of the crowd (now I understand the “Dash” part of her name) yelling “I WANT A REMATCH STARLIGHT! YOU WON UNFAIRLY! I DEMAND THAT REMATCH AND DEMAND IT NOW!” Starlight and I said at exactly the same time, “Bring it on, and anytime is fine, oh great, now I’m rhyming, but still, bring as much heat as you want. I’m the Outcast who lives off speed and…” We stopped immediately realizing what had happened. Finally, I said, “Starlight, You Versus Me. Mono E Mono. Winner races Skit- I mean Rainbow Dash.”
After a few minutes, Starlight lined up above to me, prepared to bolt forwards. I did the same, but below him. The crowds around us, including Rainbow Dash, were actually chanting out “STARLIGHT, STARLIGHT, STARLIGHT!” Little did they know, that Starlight is my nickname. A bell sounded and time slowed to very slim milliseconds. I shot forwards, half a second faster than the Pegasus Starlight. A Lime Green Laser trailed both of us (Him because of his tail.) I was running forward for about thirty seconds, and then I leaped up. There was a delayed BOOM after I shot forward. I know this, the Pegasus Starlight was flung back to the starting point, in complete confusion, along with the rest of the crowd. “WOOOOOOO! YEAHOOOOHOHOHOOOOOO! THIS IS THE REAL STARLIGHT! THE OUTCAST HAS A NAME SHAYNE PEIRCE! AND HIS NAME IS… STARLIGHT.” I yelled out in joy. When I paused, I entered the next speed phase. Electric Overshock. “YA’ KNOW WHAT SHAYNE! YOU’VE GOT WORSE COMIN’ AT YA’! THERE IS TWO OF ME! THE OUTCAST STARLIGHT! ME! AND THE PEGASUS STARLIGHT!” I yelled out again, even more joyously. I flew straight up at the sky, just to slam against an invisible wall. I was stunned from hitting it, and I fell towards the ground, dazed. I regained full control just in time to renter phase 4: The First Shock. Some form of Blue Lightning struck me from the clouds, allowing me a new type of speed. I shot even faster at the ground. I became the Lime Green Laser myself. Hit 10 feet off the ground and hit a 90-degree angle going level with the ground. I had to maneuver through the buildings of Ponyville to get a landing site. I went left fifteen times, and right thirty times. I finally found a landing area, but I was going too fast. I had no choice; I needed to make an emergency landing. I stated running while in air, but it didn’t help because when my feet touched, all the happened was that I flipped, twisted, and did barrel rolls in mid air. I ended up crashing into a few trees in the Everfree Forest. I stopped rolling and flipping. I was bloody, broken, beat, and scarred. I landed a few hundred feet away from the last tree I’d crashed through. Everypony went searching for me, but I was on my back, camouflaged by the trees, the grass, and the blood on me. I couldn’t move for at all. They had stopped searching after some time. Which showed up in my mind as “He isn’t needed anyways; Forget him, he’s gone, for good hopefully.”
I give up Celestia, if you want me dead an’ gone. Well here you go; I’ll stay here, for three days. I’ll die of dehydration, if it’s what Everypony wants. Then I’ll do it. Now, after a few hours, I’m thinking out loud “Am I really of any importance to the mane 6 at all? Was I born to help people, or was I just born to die a slow death? WAS MY LIFE EVER REALLY WORTH IT!? TELL ME! WHAT AM I WORTH IN ANY WORLD! I’LL DIE HERE IF I HAVEN’T DIED ON EARTH ALREADY, yet, why did I bother helping any of the ponies. Even if they comforted me at one point, they’re just leaving me to die this time. I had my Prologue, when does my Epilogue begin? Or is this the Prologue for my Epilogue? Shayne’s here to finish what he started. He probably has my Twin brother on his side to kill me too. Him and I, the twin versus the twin; The tale that started us off, just too be the end on this planet. So, you know what, if I die here, I’ll make Shayne and my twin die with me. If anything ends, it’ll be them and their one way war with me.” I got up and walked my way to Ponyville; going through the hills I flew over when I crashed. I walked all night. I go to Ponyville, passed through Ponyville, to Fluttershy’s Cottage. I got to her door; I heard voices inside, which were each of the mane 6’s. I almost knocked on the door, and then I collapsed, needing water. My body hit the door, and it slung open. I passed out, only hearing gasp and the rushing sound of hooves on wood. A voice in my mind said, “Well, this is it. This is the end.” While another voice said “Come on, we need you David. Don’t die on us. Please.” Followed by crying, that was it. It wasn’t me saying this. It was one of the ponies. I regained sight, but I could see myself. I saw Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and AJ all around my dying body. Fluttershy seemed to be hurting the most, because she was crying on my dying body. That was enough, too much for me to handle. I have one choice, but then a blinding light came out from behind me, and I said “Sayonara heaven, I’d rather live to make these ponies happy.” Everything had then Faded Black. I remembered the first time I became the Outcast. 8th Grade, I, at first, had no love life, little friends, and no hope in myself. I got bored of school one day, and I ran out of the building, and kept running. I ran into one of the tallest buildings, reaching 48 stories. I had one friend, which is Cassie. She is the reason I’m still typing and talking today. She has saved me from death more than I can remember, but she’s also the reason I have my weapons. It was August 5th, 2012. I had decided to buy the swords, which I got permission for the governor to have with me at all times. I was up there, alone. Then Cassie came up behind me, startled me to near death myself. By reflex, I unsheathed my sword and held it at the victim’s throat. I realized what I’d done. I dropped the sword, and ran to the nearest corner. I began crying because I’d just about sliced my best friend, and my savior’s neck into two or three parts. Then out of nowhere, I heard “And now… This is the part where he kills you!” and saw a gun be pointed at the back of Cassie’s head. I snapped back to normal time and bolted upright yelling out “CASSIE!” I looked around, at the stunned ponies. I began crying because I knew what that outcome was, even though that day hasn’t even come on Earth. I forgot to mention that I’m very flexible at the waist, knee, and arm. I pulled my knees to my head, and dug my face in them. I closed my arms around my knees, and then Fluttershy noticed something on my arm. She nuzzled my arm, and I extended it and pulled up the sleeve. Revealing a scar that ran from my wrist to my neck then split two ways, one going behind my neck, the other up through my eye. My right eye; I sat there, sad because I knew that she didn’t want to see my scar. She then ran her hoof down my back, I bolted up stiff when she reached my lower back, and I blacked out.
I awoke apparently with them thinking I was fully dead, because I was being carried by Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Starlight. We were over a desert, and I could see, but I couldn’t speak. Then, I was dropped, to the ground, none of them were trying to catch me, but I could she Rainbow and Fluttershy crying over what they were doing. Starlight looked sad, but he wasn’t crying. I fell, and fell, by the time I hit the ground and rolled to a stop, because I landed on the side of a sand dune, Rainbow and Fluttershy were slowly flying down to me. I could see they were both extremely sad, and Starlight, with them, began crying too. Rainbow and Fluttershy hugged my motionless body and I was still trying to yell out to them “HEY! I’M ALIVE! THERE’S NO NEED FOR THIS! I’M ALIVE!” They let go of my body and then cried into Starlight’s mane, as I continued to try and yell out “I’m alive! I am! There’s no need to leave me here! I’m still alive!” I could see Starlight struggle to leave me here, because he saw in my motionless eyes, a glint of Lime Green, but I had to remind myself that he wouldn’t notice that I’m alive, even through that. I continued to try and yell out “I’m alive. Don’t leave me here alone. Rainbow? Fluttershy? Starlight? My twin from another world? Don’t leave me here to rot. Not after what I’m doing for you all. I was going to give up my own life, to save you, but now, yet again, I ask myself ‘What is my life truly worth?’ Is this how it all ends?” I couldn’t manage even a sound out as they flew away. Then, when they were long out of sight, and out of hearing range, I regained ability of movement, speech, and sight. I got up, and said out loud to myself “One desert, to the next, but all greatness starts from small beginnings. I have to try. If I die on the way, then I say end Shayne and John, my twin, will die as well.” I began walking the way that Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Starlight flew off in. I have no idea how long it’ll take me to get back. I tried to remember the day, it’s Friday, and I still must get back to them. I know what Shayne and John’s plan are. To rid of me, they say it’s just to get me off of the pony’s hands (hooves), but they always do worse. They’ll just kill me, or try to kill me, and if they do, they’ll just kill off the ponies after me. “I have no choice. I must end Shayne and John here.” I said to myself. I then began running over the sand dunes as fast as I could, gaining energy from the element that no one sees. The element with no name, other than the name Element 115; That’s how I get energy, not from the sun and moon, but from that element; The same element that powers the Elements of Harmony. If only I could the mane 6 to blast me and then I’d have enough power to save this entire world, and myself. Right now, though, I have to get to them first, because John has the same power as me.
Hours passed, still desert, I swear I just saw some of the ponies running ahead of me, towards where I need to go. I have this strange feeling I’m being watched though.
A few more hours have passed, still no signs of life. I’m turning around every three minutes or so. I need to move faster, or at least find out what is watching me, and soon.
I’m running now, three hours ago, I wasn’t rushing, but I now know there’s something behind me. I’ve seen it, and it ain’t pretty. It’s hard to describe, so here’s my best. It’s a huge worm with razor sharp teeth, and I thought that most things here on Equestria weren’t that deadly. It looks like it’s about 200 feet long, 25 feet wide. IT’s like the Rob Zombie song, Dragula. “Dead I am the one, exterminating son. Slippin’ through the trees, stranglin’ the breeze… Dead I am the sky, watchin’ angels cry. While they slowly turn, conquering the worm. Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches, I slam in the back of my Dragula!” Sorry, I got carried away. Although, I ain’t going to die first, so, one plan. RUN! I ran, dodging it as best as I could, every 5 minutes I’d get blasted into the air from it landing behind me to EAT MY FLIPPIN’ FACE OFF! I kept yelling out “NO! NO! YOU AIN’T GONNA EAT MY DAMN FACE YOU FLIPPIN’ WORM! FACE EATING IS NOT PERMITTED! HOLY SHI-! OKAY! YOU CAN EAT SHAYNE! HOWS THAT! GOOD? NO? SHIT! NO EATING MY FACE I SAID! ALL RIGHT! IF YOU WANT TO EAT MY FLIPPIN’ FACE, THEN YOU’LL HAVE TO DIE FIRST!” I turned, unsheathed my two handed sword, and jumped over it as it lunged out from the ground. My sword right cut a split into its armor, I let the sword slice straight through it until it stopped, then I took the sword and stabbed straight into the dirty beast, and I do mean dirty, because it smelled. Note I said “had.” I ripped apart the rest of its armor, stabbing it in many other areas, in case it was still alive. I jumped off of it after I knew it was dead. I said, “Well, one problem done, now to get to Ponyville. I’ve got to move fast, too. If I want to… get…back…before… midnight… AW, COME ON! YOU’VE GOT TO BE SHITTIN’ ME!” I turned and found three more giant worms. I gave up and just ran.
After being blasted forwards at least sixty to seventy times, I reached the Everfree Forest. “Oh thank god, and Celestia, and Luna, and Luck.” I said as the giant Worms turned back to leave, except one. “YOU! GIANT WORM! SCREW OFF! GO!” I yelled at it, but it lunged at me instead. “NO! NONONONONONO!” I yelled running back to Ponyville, the worm still following me.
Reached Ponyville, and realized that Everypony was panicking. I jumped at one of the buildings, jumped back to the worm and my sword extended when I pressed a button on the side of it. I then slashed through half of the worms head and body. I made a very ‘pretty’ sight, sarcastically speaking. I pressed the button again and my sword shrunk to normal size. I walked into Ponyville, to the town square, and stood there, looking into the fountain. I noticed a glint in the sky; it was the ship, the main Fleet Runner Ship. Shayne’s ship, John is on it as well. I also heard shuffling, hooves beating on stone, wood, and metal. “It sad when I can hear the entire town’s hooves beating on wood, stone, and metal.” I said. I turned around, and Celestia landed in front of me, with Luna landing beside her. “If you’re here to throw me in jail, there’ll be no need to. I’ll be leavin’ in a few days. Along with the lives of Shayne, John, and myself; I was always meant to receive it, The Day That Never Comes. I was young, when I knew it, too. I’ll never have a normal life, or a happy life. If I don’t help you, you’ll lose as well. The Wicker Man. The Ghost of The Navigator. In a Brave New World. The Blood Brothers. The Mercenary. The Dream of Mirrors. The Fallen Angel. The Nomad. All Out of the Silent Planet. For The Thin Line Between Love and Hate. You’ll lose each of these, in one day. Which is in four days.”
I climbed up to the stage, yet again, but this time for a new type of show. I’ll call it “The New Rock Show.” I know that it’s terrible name wise, but it was all I could think of. I got to the top of the Mountain around 7:00 PM, grabbed my guitar called, “ The Guitar of Darkness,” and began. “(Intro riff) Out of the silent planet. Out of the silent planet we are. (x4) Withered hands, withered bodies begging for salvation. Deserted by the hand of gods of their own creation. Nations cry underneath decaying skies above. You are guilty, the punishment is death for all who live. The punishment is death for all who live. Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation. Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation. Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation. Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation. The killing fields, the grinding wheels crushed by equilibrium. Separate lives no more disguise, no more second chances. Haggard wisdom spitting out the bitter taste of hate. I accuse you, before you know the crime it's all to late. Before you know the crime it's all too late. Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation. Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation. Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation. Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation. (Short Guitar Riff) Out of the silent planet. Out of the silent planet we are.(x2 and Guitar Solos) Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation. Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation. Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation. Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation. (Short Guitar Riff) Out of the silent planet. Out of the silent planet we are. (x6 and hold last word for 15 seconds) ” I sang out and played on “The Guitar of Darkness.” I walked forwards, into the light, and got a lot of hooves clopping, and cheering. Walked up to the newest microphone I put in, the Announcer Mic, and said “That one isn’t my song, that was ‘Out of The Silent Planet, by Iron Maiden, covered by … well, me. Well, the same group, Iron Maiden, made this next one; it’s called ‘The Thin Line Between Love and Hate.’ I hope ya’ll enjoy it.” I said as I began the next Intro Riff.
“(Intro Riff) When a person turns to wrong. Is it a want to be, belong? Part of things at any cost. At what price a life is lost. At what point do we begin. Fighter spirit a will to win, But what makes a man decide. Take the wrong or righteous road. There's a thin line between love and hate. Wider divide that you can see between good and bad. There's a grey place between black and white, But everyone does have the right to choose the path that he takes. We all like to put the blame on society these things, But what kind of good or bad. A new generation brings. Sometimes takes just more than that. To survive be good at heart. There is evil in some of us. No matter what will never change. I will hope My soul will fly. So I will live forever. My heart will die. My soul will fly, And I will live forever.(Guitar Solo) Just a few small tears between someone happy and one sad. Just a thin line drawn between being a genius or insane. At what age begin to learn of which way out we will turn. There's a long and winding road, And the trail is there to burn. There's a thin line between love and hate. Wider divide that you can see between good and bad. There's a grey place between black and white But everyone does have the right to choose the path that he takes.(Guitar Solo) I will hope. My soul will fly. So I will live forever. My heart will die. My soul will fly, And I will live forever.(x2 and Guitar Riff + Solos…Slower Riff & Quick Solos) The thin line between love and hate; (Solos + Riff) the thin line between love and hate. (Fade away with muttering ‘Oh, you fucking missed it heh heh heh’)” I let the lights fade before walking to the Announcer Mic. I received millions, no, billions of cheering voices and clopping hooves. I waited till the cheering stopped, and then I said into the mic “Well, that went better than I thought. I’m gonna change my Guitar real quick, and then I’ll play a 9 minute instrumental. Which is basically a song with no lyrics/ words. It’s called Suicide & Redemption.” After nine minutes and a few solos, I received a billion plus cheering voices, and clopping hooves. I walked up to the mic and said, “That was Suicide & Redemption. This next song is called ‘Brave New World’ by Iron Maiden as well. Hope ya’ll like it.” I backed away from the mic to the singers microphone. “(Short Intro) Dying swans, twisted wings. Beauty not needed here. Lost my love, lost my life. In this garden of fear. I have seen many things. In a lifetime alone. Mother love is no more. Bring this savage back home. Wilderness, house of pain. Makes no sense of it all. Close this mind, dull this brain. Messiah before his fall. What you see is not real. Those who know will not tell. All is lost, sold your soul. To this brave new world. A brave new world, in a brave new world. A brave new world, in a brave new world. In a brave new world, a brave new world. In a brave new world, a brave new world. Dragon kings, dying queens. Where is salvation now. Lost my life, lost my dreams. Rip the bones from my flesh. Silent screams, laughing here. Dying to tell you the truth .You are planned and you are damned. In this brave new world. A brave new world, in a brave new world. A brave new world, in a brave new world. In a brave new world, a brave new world. In a brave new world, a brave new world. (Solos and Riff + Outro) A brave new world, in a brave new world. A brave new world, in a brave new world. In a brave new world, a brave new world. In a brave new world, a brave new world. Dying swans, twisted wings. Bring this savage back home. (Cutout)” I let the lights fade out into darkness. I walked up to the mic, let the cheering die down, then I began. “Well, I have one song left, and possibly the last. This is Fade Away by Black Heart Progression.” I stepped back, I let the old key piano rise, and began. “(Slow Piano Intro) Oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-ho-oh-oh… Through this land of tragedy; I try to find my way, and in this town of misery; I search for you. Now, we walk away, to the last of the day…((I slipped over my guitar and began again (Guitar Riff))) Oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-ho-oh-oh… And in this world, there were only memories, of how we could get through. There was just a way to see, and now we’ve lost way, in the land of the day. (Guitar and Piano Solo) And in this life, how will they remember me, will they see the truth, or will they just lose everything? Now, it fades away, to the end of the day… (Piano and Guitar Outro)” I finished, and I received silence, because they got the message I made. I would not return after I help them, I would die in battle. I stayed on the seat, not letting the Piano lower back into the stage. I pulled off the guitar and set it on the rack that rolled to the piano. I just stayed where I was, but I knew that I am more likely not accepted in Ponyville anymore, so there would be no use of going. I then heard crying from the front of the stage, not one person or pony, but six. I made them all cry… I can’t go back because I made them cry, I will accept my fate. I will die saving more worlds before my life can be saved. I grabbed a Moon-Glowing-Slivery Guitar, and began another Aerosmith song. Most people know it; it’s called Dream on.
“(Guitar Intro/Riff) Every time that I look in the mirror, all these lines, and my face getting’ clearer. The past is gone; it went back like dust to dawn, isn’t that the way, everybody’s got the dues in life to pay. Hey-ah I know, nobody knows, where it comes and where it goes. I know, everybody sins, but you got to lose, to know how to win… Half my life is in books, written pages; Lived and learned from fools and from sages. You know its true-oh.

(Huge Chinese Gong and Outro)” I finished, with no cheering, even though the amps and microphone were on. I left the stage lights on as I walked around on the stage. I paced the entire stage, I noticed the mane six at the front of the stage, and they thought I didn’t, but I did. I didn’t do anything about it though, I just paced around, and then I eventually turned on some music. Which was orchestral music. If you’ve ever played the game or heard the theme and soundtrack of Medal of Honor: Frontline, Vanguard, and Airborne, then you know what I was listening to. I got tired of pacing and I went to the center of the stage, I lied down, and fell asleep.
It’s about time that I give you all more detail on my backstory. I’m more than human; I’ve caused 20 to 60 wars in my entire life. I’m considered to be ‘Immortal’ for being alive after some many things, such as nukes, a world exploding, and a universal war. I also got the ability to fly with a Lime Green Jet Stream behind me. I have 1,500% Combat Efficiency. I barely lose. But I still can. I hate nearly everyone I meet, those I don’t hate I love like a family or more…Right around here in this story itself, it gets hard for me… It’s difficult to even tell you all this story, it’ll just get harder and harder after this… I wish I can stay on Equestria, but time is running out. I may die there, I may live, but whatever happens I’m going to be gone from Equestria itself… I hate to say that in my mind that Equestria was my only true home… Even though it was…. But back to my backstory; I’ve loved MLP: FIM since it came out, and that has only almost gotten my killed. A select few and me are the only Bronies in town. Now back to the real story.
I woke up the next morning with in a building; when I fell asleep on the stage; that seemed a little weird. I looked around and found out I was in Rarity’s Boutique. I sat up slowly but was pulled back down and told “No, no, darling. You should rest.” I felt around quickly and found Rarity’s soft coat and her soft body next to me… I did the thing I thought of at the time, I leaned into her body and lay against her body. Her coat and body were so soft. I knew Rarity would have a soft coat and body, but not this soft. I fell asleep again…
By the time I woke up again, Rarity was gone. I looked around and noticed that I was in her room... I looked at my clothing and noticed it was still slashed and torn from the harsh landing from the race, the giant worms, and a few other things. I got up and walked to the window... I saw it was daytime. I walked past Rarity's bed and down the stairs. I saw Sweetie Belle sitting bored so I thought of something I could do for her. I walked past the sofa and into Rarity's Boutique, or shop, or whatever. Rarity was messing with something behind her curtain. "Well, here is fair Miss Rarity working on her newest Design. Will we found out what it is today? I have no clue." I said like a News Caster, making her jump. She turned around with a smile and saw me standing there. She looked at me with a displeased look on her face. She finally said "It is not funny to scare a lady like that. That was very rude." I walked over to her and said "I know Miss Rarity, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to hurt you. What are ya workin' on here?" She stepped in my way as I tried to take a peek. "Nothing, I'm not finished." I replied to her action by picking her up and setting her beside me. "I'm sorry for doing that, but I'm just gonna see okay? I love you designs, so-" I stopped when I saw it. It was a human body Mannequin, Rarity was trying to make more clothing for me. "Rarity..." I said with a soft voice. She replied "I just wanted you to have some more clothing because I noticed your Chest-wear was torn and your leg wear was slashed a bit. I wanted to make you something you would enjoy. I...uh... also noticed the area in between your legs was, kinda wet." My eyes went to a "Oh Shit" look when she said that last thing, but I shook the thought and hugged her. "Thank you so much Rarity. I love your idea of helping me." I said. I felt her hug back and I heard her say "It's nothing, darling. I saw that what you have on felt quite uncomfortable and thought that I should make you something. So just absolutely had to build a Mannequin of you to make it. I- Oh." She stopped when I gave her a friendly kiss on the cheek. "I'm very glad that you're doing this Rarity. It means the world to me. I'll let you continue while I go to Sweet Apple Acres. Oh, give this to Sweetie Belle and tell her it's from you okay?" I gave her a Small Amplifier and a Microphone that was cordless and linked to the Amp. I then went out the door and headed for Sweet Apple Acres. Rarity took the Microphone and Amp in to where Sweetie Belle is, and she said "Sweetie Belle, I have something for you. It's from me and David." She gave Sweetie Belle the items and Sweetie Belle said "What's this for Sis?" She spoke into the Microphone and jumped in joy. I kept walking to Sweet Apple Acres and heard Sweetie Belle playing with her new toy. I smiled.
When I got to Sweet Apple Acres it was Mid-Day. I walked onto the Farm grounds and Big Mac stepped in my way. I said "Can I see Applejack? She wanted me to come over to Sweet Apple Acres for a bit." He said "Eenope." I looked at him with a disapproving face. Then Applejack came out from the Apple Orchard and said "David! Ah see ya got here with a nice an' friendly welcome. Big Macintosh, go ahead an' let 'im onto the farm." Big Mac stepped out of my way and AppleJack led me up to her room and closed the door behind her. "Tell me, how are ya in any way Southern?" She asked me while standing over me. I replied to her as easy as I could "I live in North Alabama on Earth, which is a Southern state. And so that makes me Southern, I may not have the accent that much, but I am Southern. Now why are you standing over me?" She laid down on top of me, tired as she was, I understood why she did. She then said "I'm tired. I wanted someone to sleep with tonight. I know it isn't night yet, but Can you at least stay here for a night?" I gave her a hug and said "I guess I could, but I need to go do something first okay?" She nodded and slid off of me.
I ran back to Rarity's Boutique as fast as I could. When I got there I was tackled by three little fillies. AppleBloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo had tackle hugged me and I knew why. I told them that I couldn't play right now and pulled them off of me quickly, I then walked into Rarity's Boutique and asked "Do you have any new clothing ready? I'm sorry to rush you but I'm on a tight schedule." She pulled out five pairs of pants, and surprisingly some underwear, and 13 pony shirts. I was amazed, one of the shirts was even for my OC. I chose the last one she showed me, a Shirt the had "The Old Republic & Aerosmith" written on it in a crazy Lightning mix style. I grabbed a pair of pants she made and the shirt, and a clean pair of underwear, and went behind the curtain to put them on. I was surprised that they fit me perfectly. I emerged from the curtains and was stunned as much as Rarity was with how great it looked. I gave her a huge hug and then ran out the door. I got a running start then launched into the sky flying up to Shayne's Ship.
I got up on Shayne's Ship and was greeted with five rifles pointed at my head. I said "Jeez I just came to talk. Take me to Shayne." As I was taken up to the Bridge I noticed the ship was pure Iron. Easy to break. Then We reached the Bridge of the ship. Shayne's first response was "Why are you here? Nevermind that just lock him up." I said "If you lock me up you'll be dead in seconds, this ship is Iron, very easy to break. And I came to tell you this. You have one chance left to leave. If you say no, then I'll begin The Drop. If you say yes, I'll be gone from Earth, just give me Cassie and we'll be gone out of your knowing. I will give you one last chance to decide three days from now. It's your own decision now." I waited for five minutes as he and John discussed the proposal. When they spoke up I was surprised. They Said "We need until that last day to decide. We thought you'd make a proposal like that so we brought your... Girlfriend.... along." I jumped up and said "Give her to me now. Just leave after that and you can have every other world out there..." They walked around and said "She isn't on our ship, that's why we need that three days..." I stepped back and said "Okay Then I guess we are done?"
I was taken back to the hangar and i told the guards "That's far enough, I can go back on my own now." They stepped back as I walked to the edge of the hangar and jumped out into the dark space I plummeted to the ground of Equestria at a fairly fast speed. I landed a few miles north of Ponyville. I luckily didn't get hurt. I got up, and began my walk into Ponyville.
I got into Ponyville at around 7:00 PM Equestrian Standard Time and stopped by Rarity's Boutique and said "Hey Rarity, just stoppin' by to tell you that I love the clothes you made. If I can later I'll stop by again to get the rest later." I then stepped out the door and began my walk to Sweet Apple Acres.
I got there and heard crying through the door. I was about to knock when I realized it was Applejack crying and she was being comforted by Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. I lightly knocked on the door. It was answered by Applejack. She looked extremely mad and upset. I said "I'm sorry I'm late. Shayne isn't that size sensitive with his ship. I got here as fast as I could. I'm sorry I got here late as I did AJ... I tried to run as fast as I could without going to fast that I'd break the door down." She responed with a happy hug and said "I'm glad that you at least came." I wiped a few tears for under her eyes and said "And Miss sleeping with you? Never!" I let Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy know that it should be fine by now and that they could go home. I then walked over to AJ and picked her up, making her squeal a little bit, and carried her upstairs to her room. I set her down on her bed and laid down next to her. She pulled me close to her and we both fell asleep holding each other. I had realized what I'd lose if I leave Equestria. I have to survive and get Cassie here...
