You walk over to check them out yourself "See anything you like" said 'The Merchant', you look around and saw a sword from Skyrim(Dawnbreaker). "How much for the minigun, missile launcher, and Dawnbreaker" you said, 'The Merchant' thought for a moment "$750 for them" you reached and got your wallet out and pulled out the money and gave it to him andgot your things " enjoy your adventure" 'The Merchant' said before everything went black. ~Equestria, Everfree Forest~ "What happened?" you opened your eyes to see a HUD and that your costume and weapons are real "What did that merchant do to me?" you thought for a moment then realized the suit your in "Maybe...*bang*...huh, it worked" you said as you at your wrist guns. You looked around to see you're location "The moss points to civilization......so it'll be this way" you start walking and thought 'might test the suits functions just in case I need them' After 30 minutes of walking through the forest Chris found out how to operate the minigun, missile launcher he also figured out that he had a pocket dimension that can hold quite a bit of stuff and found Dawnbreaker in it when he needs it. "I wonder how big this forest really is?" "HELP" yelled three voices Immediately you rushed to the voices to see three anthro fillies surrounded by five wooden wolves "HEY, pick on someone your own size" you yell to the wolves as they turn to you "much better" your minigun aims at one of the wolves and fired as you shot another with you repulser as you pulled out Dawnbreaker and readied your flamethrower and rushed the last three wolves as you easily slashed throughone wolf and burnt the other two to ash with the flamethrower. As you finished the fight you look tothe fillies to see if they were alright "You all ok, or do any of you need medical attention?" you asked with concern. "We're fine thank you" answered the white filly with a horn "What're your names?" you asked "Ah'm Applebloom" answered the yellow filly "I'm Sweetie Belle" said the white filly "I'm Scootaloo" the orange winged filly said "And we're THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS"yelled the three as you chuckled at their enthusiasm "Well I'm Chris" you said as your helmet retracts into the suit so they could see his face "And I'm a human" you said before they could ask. "Like what Lyra always talks about" said Sweetie Belle "A better question is why you three are out here without an adult" you said as the three look to the ground "I'll go with you to make sure you back safe and to get out of this forest, and you're not in trouble just concerned for your safety" "Thank you" the CMC say to you with smileson their faces *POV Shift / Twilight Sparkle / 15 Minutes Later* "Where are they?" you said as you and your friends are looking around Ponyville for the CMC "There They Are!!!" yelled Pinkie as she points to the Everfree as the CMC and a metal being emerges and looks around the area. "Sweetie/Applebloom/Scootaloo!!!" yelled Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash as they rushed to the CMC ignore the metal being "Who are you?" you ask looking at the being with interest He looked at the CMC who nodded at him with smiles of reassurance, he looked to my friends then me as we look at him when his helmet retracted into his suit to see an 18 year old with short red hair and blue eyes as he smiled then said "My names Chris also known as 'The War Machine' who are if you don't mind me asking?" "I'm Twilight Sparkle, student of Princess Celestia" you say with a smile "HiI'mPinkiePiebutmyfriendscallmePinkie,doyouwanttobemyfriend,what'syourfavoritecake,doyoulikeparties,whatsyoufavoritecolors,whata-"Pinkie was cut off as a hand was put to her mouth to stop the onslaught of questions "Sorry, shes like this around new ponys" I say as he looks to her "nice to meet you too Pinkie and I would love to be your friend, my favorite cake is chocolate, I do like parties, my favorite colors are black, silver, and red,and I never got that last one" Chris answered with a smile as we looked at him wide eyed and mouthes agaped so was Pinkie as she hugged him with the biggest grin plastered on her face as he understood her as she was talking superfast. "Are you ok" Chris asked Pinkie as he looked down to her "I'm ok it's just someone finally understands my Hypertalking" said Pinkie "It was easy to understand you, anyway may we continue" Chris answered "Sure, Ah'm Applejack but my friends call me AJ" AJ replied "I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flier is Equestria" Rainbow answered with a smug look on her face "How fast?" Chris asked curiously "I can make a sonic rainboom" RD replied "I can beat that easily" Chris said non-chalantly "You sure about that" said RD "I can go to Mach 4 which is faster than a sonic rainboom" Chris replies "We'll see about that" RD relies confidently Chris looked over to Rarity as she introduced herself "My names Rarity darling" as she extented her hand as he took it and kissed the back of it "My my, what a gentlecolt" Chris looked towards Fluttershy as she stared at him from behinde her mane"what's your name?" Chris asked gently"I'm Fluttershy"Fluttershy replied in her quiet voice "Thats a lovely name Fluttershy" Chris replied while Fluttershy hide behind her mane with a blush on her face and a gentle smile forming on her muzzle "Well introductions aside, we should head to the library for some questions" You said as everyone nods and started walking tawords the Golden Oaks Library as Chris's helmet went up again
