Chapter 1: Debut of a Warrior



[Location: The Everfree Forest, Equestria]


It was mid-morning in Equestria as the sun’s rays streamed through the leaves of the Everfree Forest. Despite it being one of the most dangerous and chaotic forests in the world, it was rather peaceful and calm during the morning time as every creature was mostly still asleep sans the early morning birds.

That is until the air high above a small clearing began to distort, and sparks of electricity begin to dance around. A small white void soon started to tear itself into realspace. Unholy shrieks, like lightning, sounded through the sky. A black dot formed inside it and was getting bigger.

“aaaaaAHHHHHHHH!!” A scream could be heard from the tear as it slowly got louder until…

*CRASH!*

...a figure flew out of the portal and crashed into the ground picking up a dust cloud and scaring some of the smaller animals in the area who were still there surprisingly. The gateway then abruptly closed up, leaving behind a few sparks. The area was dead quiet...until the figure started speaking.

“Holy crap! That has got to be the most random and bizarre thing to ever happen to me,” The voice spoke as a figure jumped to their feet and dusted themself off. After their clothes were somewhat cleaned, they started waving off the residual debris.

The dust cleared, and it revealed that the figure that came crashing through the portal was a young human boy. His skin tone was a milk chocolate brown color, his hair was black while being styled into a large fluffy afro, and his eyes were also black but his irises were strangely a silver color. Another unique trait was that he only stood at 4ft 7in in height and that was not including his massive afro.

His attire consisted of a red sleeveless shirt under a storm gray jacket with a white patch on the right shoulder having the kanji for Family in black while another patch on his left shoulder he had the kanji for Warrior. His pants were a pair of baggy blue jeans with a white sash tied around his waist and hanging down the left leg. On his feet were a pair of black steel-toed combat boots and on his hands were a matching colored pair of fingerless fighter’s gloves with metal plates on the knuckles. To finish off his attire, he had a multicolored scarf bandana that was wrapped around his neck cowboy style. He also had white-framed goggles with the lenses mimicking the scarf.

“Ok, now that I’m sure I’m still in one piece...I need to figure out where we are,” The boy said while looking at his surroundings. He saw some of the local animals watching him curiously, “This place seems like a normal forest but I don’t think it's the forests around my hometown. Any ideas Motomeru?”

The boy glanced over his right shoulder, talking to what appeared to be a sword that looked to be about two feet long bundled up tightly in silver cloth with only the handle and a blank gem being visible. The said gem started to light up before gaining the appearance of a multi-colored eye.

“While I’m not sure of our exact location, I can safely say that we’re not in the forest back home RonI. I don’t even think we are on our world anymore, the feeling the air gives off is different; almost magical in a sense,” A female voice spoke up from the sword as the eye had a thoughtful look to it.

“Hold on let me try something,” RonI said while reaching into his afro. He pulled out a smartphone and tried dialing it to a familiar number.

“I’m sorry, but you are currently out of range for our services to help you. Please try again later.” The message said.

“So much for calling for help,” RonI sighs at his situation and the unnecessary pun, “I’m not even gonna try and use Google Maps.”

“So what now?” Motomeru asks.

“Guess the only thing we can do now is pick a random direction and start walking,” RonI says while placing his phone back in his afro. “Hopefully we’ll find civilization or at the very least find a way out of this forest", Roni glanced around, "I don’t know about you but I’m getting some bad vibes the longer we stand here.”

“Then you best start walking,” Motomeru mused.

“Yeah yeah, I’m on it,” RonI grumbled. “Lazy sword.”

“I’m a sword, I can’t exactly grow legs and walk around like you can idiot boy,” Said sword snarked. “Also I’m on your back most of the time unless in battle. In my eye, you're the one that’s lazy for not using me more.”

“Touche,” RonI snorted good-naturedly. “Alright, so where should we go, straight ahead or backward?”

“Since when do we ever go backward for anything?” She asked with a raised “brow”.

“Fair enough.” RonI chuckled. Of course, she took that seriously.

With their banter done, RonI began his trek forward through the strange forest while staying on guard and Motomeru watching his back. As they walked they began to see plenty of forest-dwelling critters as well as strange flora which RonI found interesting. While his world was full of many different types of strange and bizarre plant life, this place seems to take it to a whole other level.

“Wow, despite the bad vibes this place is beautiful,” RonI said in awe as he stepped over a root.

“Indeed, although I can’t shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen,” Motomeru spoke lowly.

“What do you mean?” RonI asked.

“It's just this gut feeling I'm getting,” She said.

“But you don’t have a gut,” He smirked teasingly.

“I will hurt you boy,” Motomeru growled as a strain of cloth lightly whacked RonI’s head, making the boy laugh.

“I kid! I kid!” RonI laughed. “But seriously, I doubt anything bad will happen to us. Even if it did, we can handle it easily.”

“Getaway for me you stupid twigs!” A rough female voice screamed out causing RonI to pause his walk.

“I tempted fate didn’t I?” RonI sighed before running towards the general direction the voice came from.

Once RonI broke through the bushes he was introduced to a sight that surprised the hell out of him. Six giant wolves, the size of Hummer Trucks, and they were made up of wood, twigs, vines, and leaves with glowing green eyes surrounded a girl.

Well, he thought it was a girl but it was definitely not human. It looked like an anthropomorphic equine standing at about 5ft 8in with cyan fur, shaggy rainbow hair and tail, magenta eyes, and a pair of wings on her back the same color as her fur. It was dressed in a black sports bra hugging her D-Cup under a dark blue flight jacket, black skinny jeans, and matching sneakers. It looked worse for wear as it was covered in claw and bite marks and one of its wings was bent at an odd angle making it impossible for it to fly away. The wooden wolves seem to know this, as they started to advance toward it, looking forward to an easy meal.

“...Partner, I have no idea what to make of this,” RonI mutters, staring at the scene with wide disbelieving eyes. “Although I think it’s safe to say we’re definitely not on earth anymore.”

“Less talking, more saving its life!” Motomeru shouts.

“Right, time to do the hero thing,” RonI says while jumping into the fray, grabbing Motomeru’s handle as he did so.


A few minutes prior...


Rainbow Dash, the Element of Loyalty was not having a good day.

Well, that’s not entirely true as today started out great for her being her day off from weather pony duties. She woke up, fed her pet tortoise Tank, messed with her friend/rival Applejack, and even got to have some fun with Fluttershy’s massive knockers before Twilight and Rarity chased her off for pulling that stunt in public and threatened to lock up her wings for a week.

Totally worth it in her opinion, Shy’s tits are so big that they were just begging to be played with!

Anyway, with nothing else, she decided to practice some of her new moves to impress the Wonderbolts, which she totally will by the way in the next Young Fliers Competition. However, during one of her maneuvers, she flew too far out and stalled over the Everfree. She crashed into the ground hard and broke her wing in the process. It wasn’t a problem for her as she’s done this before dozens of times and could easily make the trek back to Ponyville, no sweat.

That being said she hadn't realized where she crashed was outside the den of a small pack of Timber Wolves, who were still sleeping, and they weren’t happy being woken up so abruptly. Now, Dash could take on a few of these mutts easily even with a broken wing, but these Timber Wolves were bigger and meaner than the normal and much older than the others she tussled with in the past.

She tried to fight back but she couldn’t make a dent in their hardwood armor and they were able to injure her badly. Now she was backed into a corner as the Timber Wolves were getting closer their jaws salivating with sap like drool.

‘Oh man, this sucks! Of all the days to crash and break my wing it had to be in the bucking Everfree, right outside a bucking Timber Wolf Den!’ Dash mentally shouted as her heart pounded in her ears. ‘No, I'm not going to be dog chow for some overgrown driftwood.’

Rainbow braced herself as the Timber Wolf closest to her was about to bite down on her neck…

“Zenno Ken!”

*WHAM!*

...or it would have had a blur not come out of nowhere and socked the wolf in the jaw, sending it crashing into one of its kind.

Dash blinked in surprise before glancing at her savor and saw...what even is she?

She thought she was an Earth Pony due to lacking wings and a horn but she didn’t even have a tail and her small ears were a weird shape, not to mention her lack of fur save for her afro-like mane. What she was wearing made it look badass in her honest opinion. The creature's left fist was outstretched from the punch she gave the wolf while in her right hand was an elegant double-edged straight sword that had an oil-like rainbow tone to it, silver hilt with a long silver cloth tail connected to the pommel of the sword and a black square sheath with a vine pattern matching the hilt in colo on his back. But the thing that surprised her the most was it was so short and was thinking it was a young girl of some species she’s never heard of or seen before.

‘She’s exotic as hell though,’ Rainbow thought with a small blush dusting her cheeks. ‘She’s got some toned flanks as well, makes her look like a male, to be honest.’

“Hey, you still alive there?” ‘She’ spoke, breaking Dash out of her train of thought when she heard ‘Her’ voice and did a double-take.

Wait a minute, that means that she is actually a..!

“You’re a Stallion!?” The pegasus exclaimed making the creature recoil in shock a bit.

“Uhh yeah?” RonI said unsurely, a bit weirded out by being called that but he thinks it must be her people’s term of calling a male instead of man or boy. “Is there a problem?”

“Yes, there’s a bucking problem!” Rainbow exploded. “You’re a stallion and stallions are supposed to be weak and dainty that need protecting, not Mares!”

“Lady, I'm not dainty and I’m sure as hell far from weak,” RonI commented, jerking a thumb to the Timber Wolf he punched. “I fight monsters like that on a daily basis, it’s kinda in my job description to do so.” Before Dash could talk back she was cut off.

“RonI this isn’t the time to have an argument with a sexist horse with damaged pride!” Motomeru shouted. “Do remember what type of situation we’re in!”

The Timber Wolves pulled themselves together and began growling and snarling again, this time directed at RonI as he’s a higher threat.

“Right, sorry Moto,” RonI apologized before looking back at Rainbow. “We’ll talk later, I have some mutts to discipline.”

“Wait! Where did that voice come FROM!?!” Rainbow yelled just as RonI grabbed her roughly and jumped high into the air, avoiding the Timber Wolves trying to pounce on them.

The human landed on a sturdy branch before plopping the horse girl onto the branch.

“Stay,” RonI commands, petting Rainbow’s head before jumping back down.

“I’m not a dog you ass!” The pegasus shouts, blushing hotly.

RonI ignored her before landing in between the still snarling timberwolves, lazily resting Motomeru on his shoulder as he did so. “Alright, puppies you have two options the easy way or the fun way,” He said with a smirk. “The easy way is you go home and we go about our business, forgetting this little incident ever happened. Or we can try the fun way and you try to eat me and I kick your wooden asses. So what’ll it be?”

The Timber Wolves snarled and formed a circle around RonI, their green eyes glowing ominously and full of hunger.

“It looks like they picked the fun way RonI,” Motomeru commented.

“Yeah they seem to always pick that one for some reason,” RonI grinned widely before getting into a fighting stance. “But that’s fine by me, let's turn these mutts into firewood partner!”

“Gladly!” The sword agreed gleefully while her handler jumped towards the nearest wolf who met his charge with a haunting howl.


[Cue BGM]





The timberwolf lunged and RonI sidestepped it before slashing its front leg, effortlessly slicing it off. The Wolf snarled. It tried biting RonI’s head off but its missing limb left it unbalanced and it gave the human an opening to backflip away. RonI quickly parries a claw swipe from another wolf. RonI decides to counter-attack with an attack of his own.

“Jōshō Hoshi!” RonI shouts performing a rising slash through the wolf’s muzzle before following up with a downward slash shouting, “Rakka Hoshi!” completely spitting its head right down the middle.

With the evident lack of a functioning head, the timberwolf fell apart in a pile of sticks while the rest of its pack, plus Rainbow, looked at the pile in disbelief. RonI twirled Motomeru in his hands and made a come hither motion with his free hand.

“That's all you got?” RonI mocked.

The remaining wolves snarled in fury at the taunt before two of them tried to take out RonI from two different sides.

“Hatameku Hachidori!” RonI chants before swinging his sword at blinding speeds littering the two wolves’ bodies in various cuts causing them to collapse in heaps of matchsticks.

“Nice try but no cigar,” RonI chuckled as he leaned back dodging one that attempted to pounce on him only for it to get stabbed in the heart. As soon as the wolf hit the ground it shattered into wood chunks on contact with the ground.

“RonI.”

“Yeah Moto?”

“This is getting boring, they’re not even worth the effort to use me at all,” The sword huffed in disappointment.

“Aww, but I thought you wanted me to use you more in battle?” RonI teased as Motomeru rolled her singular eye.

“Just get rid of these mutts already so we can go and find civilization,” Motomeru grouched, making RonI chuckle and resheath his partner on his back as she bound herself back up.

He then looked at the last two remaining wolves with a smirk. “Sorry boys but my partner is impatient and she doesn’t like us wasting time with weak opponents so I’m gonna put ya both out of your misery now, kay?’

RonI held his right arm out with his hand outstretched while holding it steady with his left before multi-colored energy started to build up. The two wolves sensed the danger and tried to turn tail and run away but it was too late.

“Bye-bye puppies, Te Taihō!”

RonI let loose a large blast of Ki that quickly impacted the wolves and reduced them to sawdust. The blast also eviscerated part of the clearing but luckily RonI didn’t put his full power into it.


[BGM End]


“Well that was a complete waste of time,” Motomeru gripped as RonI dusted his hands off.

“Yeah, but I would consider them D-Rank Level Monsters at the very least due to them working together in a pack,” RonI said with a shrug before looking up at the horse girl. “Now let's see what can learn about this place from our new friend.”

“If she insults you again, we’re leaving her to fend for herself and find a way out ourselves,” The sword growled, remembering the blue bitch’s insults she threw at her partner because of his gender.

“Now now Moto we can’t be cruel, someone might be looking for her and it's our duty to help people like her in danger...even if they are the stubborn type,” RonI mumbled the last part.

“Oh please, who would be looking for an arrogant sexist bitch like her?” Motomeru scoffed.

“Rainbow Dash! Are you here?” A soft voice called out.

“...Not one word out of you boy,” The sword murmured with a narrowed eye as RonI wore a shit-eating grin.

“I'm not saying anything,” RonI mused before the shrubbery rustled, and out came a new figure.

It was another horsewoman with butter yellow fur, long pale pink hair and tail, wide teal blue eyes, and a pair of wings the same color as her fur on her back. She was definitely taller than him and this Rainbow Dash being about 6ft 9in and had a more womanly figure with amazing curves, wide baby making hips and a massive pair of double J-Cup breasts that RonI didn’t even know how she could walk. Her attire was a big green wool sweater, blue jean pants, and a pair of brown sandals on her feet. RonI could tell she had a more motherly and gentle aura coming off her. Like an urge to hug her and not let go.

“Well partner, looks like angels do exist,” RonI whispered to his sword.

“Well at the very least, she seems to be much more tolerable than the blue bitch,” Motomeru mused as the woman took notice of RonI.

“Oh my! What are you doing in the Everfree?” The woman spoke with deep concern, quickly making her way to him.

“So that’s what this place is called huh? Well to answer your question I honestly have no idea, Miss…” RonI trailed off.

“Oh right, my name is Fluttershy, I’m the local animal caretaker here in Ponyville,” The now named Fluttershy introduced herself. “I’m also looking for my friend Rainbow Dash, she’s a pegasus pony like me only she’s blue and has a rainbow mane and tail, have you seen her?”

“Well Miss Shy, my name is RonI, and to answer your question your friend is up there in that tree,” RonI introduced himself while pointing upward.

Said tree still had Rainbow Dash who had a gobsmacked look on her face while muttering to herself.

“Not possible...that’s not possible...males are weak, they always have been.”

RonI heard what she said and couldn’t help but sweatdrop, just what was so bad about him being a male and being strong?

“Oh my goodness, what’s wrong with her?” Fluttershy asked in worry.

“She’s currently in a heavy state of denial,” RonI sighed. “Hold on, I’ll get her down.”

RonI walked up to the tree and then spin-kicked the trunk hard enough to cause the entire tree to shake and wobble which jerked Rainbow Dash out of her stupor with a yelp but also caused her to fall off and into some bushes...

“Ouch!”

…sticker bushes to be exact, much to Motomeru’s delight as she had to stifle her chuckles from becoming a full-blown laugh.

“Whoops, my bad,” RonI said sheepishly as Fluttershy went to check on her friend.

“Rainbow Dash are you alright?” She asked while carefully opening the bushes to find her friend covered in spiny stickers.

“...Peachy,” Rainbow deadpanned before climbing out of the pointy trap.

“What were you doing in a tree and why are you hurt?” Fluttershy questioned.

“Well, you see I um...” Dash stammered trying to come up with something.

“She got attacked by these huge wooden wolves and was about to get eaten but we stepped in and kicked serious ass,” Motomeru spoke up smugly.

“I knew you could talk you stupid hunk of metal!” Rainbow exclaimed with a glare.

“Timberwolves!” Fluttershy gasped in shock and panic completely ignoring the fact a sword talked. “Where are they now?”

“Don’t worry they are nothing more than firewood now,” RonI grinned proudly while crossing his arms.

“You defeated them?” Fluttershy spoke in more shock before she finally looked around the area to see the signs of battle and piles of sticks. “Goodness...are you hurt?”

“Meh it was easy, I’ve fought monsters much worse than those things before, and yes, I'm fine,” RonI shrugged. “Anyway, Miss Shy, you said you come from a town called Ponyville right? Do you think you can lead us there? I really need to figure out how I got here and see if there’s a way for me to get home.”

Before Fluttershy could say anything, Rainbow Dash butted in in front of the yellow mare and glared at RonI.

“Buck that! Do you really think I’m gonna let a freak like you anywhere near my town? Well, you're dead wrong male!” The blue mare hissed out the last word like it was poison.

“Rainbow Dash!” Fluttershy exclaimed in shock while RonI just looked at her in deadpan.

“Okay we don’t have time for this crap,” RonI drawled. “Moto, knock her out please.”

“With pleasure!”

Before anyone could react, some of the cloth wrapped around Motomeru extended to form a cloth fist before slugging Rainbow Dash with an uppercut, sending her flying into the air and then crashing onto her back in a heap with swirls in her eyes.

“Uuuuuhhh...” The blue mare groaned.

“Feel better partner?” RonI asks as his sword wrapped her cloth back around her form.

“Much, I’ve been wanting to do that since we met her,” Motomeru said with satisfaction.

“Umm...I know what my friend said was mean but did you have to be so rough with her?” Fluttershy asked shyly.

‘God above she is so cute,’ RonI thinks before speaking out loud. “Sorry Miss Shy, but she probably wouldn’t listen to either of us, me especially, due to her pride being so damaged. By what exactly, I don’t know.”

“Plus it would be best to get moving before any more dangers in this forest decide to make themselves known...not that my partner will have any problems dispatching them,” Motomeru praised, making RonI grin.

“Aw shucks partner, you’re making me blush,” The human chuckles bashfully.

Despite not liking the violence, Fluttershy couldn’t help but agree knowing her friend all too well with her pride and dislike for males in general. With a quiet sigh, she picks up the unconscious smaller mare before lifting her over her shoulder.

“I suppose you’re right, please follow close beside me Mister RonI. I'll lead us to Ponyville,” Fluttershy said, making the human nodded.

“Lead the way, beautiful,” RonI says, making the mare blush hotly before turning away quickly and walking off, RonI trailing closely behind her.

“Well, it seems at least one of these locals is hospitable enough to help us,” Motomeru whispered so RonI could hear her. “Think the townsfolk will be the same?”

“No idea, but as long as they aren’t like Rainbow here I think we’ll be ok,” RonI shrugged as Motomeru gave a sound of agreement.

Little did either of the duo know things are going to get far more hectic for them.

Chapter 2: Cultural Differences



[Location: Ponyville Hospital, Equestria]


'Remind me again why the hell are we here?’ Motomeru grouched through the shared mental link between herself and her handler. 

'Because we promised Miss Shy we'd wait for her friends to get here as she thinks they can help us...well at least one of them could,' RonI thinks back to his partner while lounging in a chair with his eyes closed. 

'Yeah? Well, I say fuck that and let's get the hell out of this crazy place, did you forget what happened after walking through town?!' His sword exclaimed in expiration. 

He did, and he wished he didn't. 

After they exited the forest, Fluttershy led RonI through Ponyville towards the General Hospital, and along the way, he was able to briefly see the town and what it had in store for him. But surprisingly he saw nothing but mares as far as the eye could see and for the one or two stallions that he did see, he noticed how more soft looking they were compared to the mares and they were surrounded by at least two or more mares doting over them like helicopter parents. To both RonI and Motomeru's surprise, the stallions didn't seem to mind at all and actually enjoyed it as it was something normal. 

He decided to ignore it and chalk it up to cultural difference but when some of the mares around town spotted RonI, they gave him various looks ranging from curiosity to cautious but a large majority gave him hungry bedroom eyes full of lust that put him on edge and Motomeru begging him to let her out. He denied but he was seriously tempted too, especially when one mare had the gall to actually walk up to Fluttershy and asked how much it would be to have a few hours of fun with him.

He was not some breathing vibrator to pass around, he was a warrior damnit and one of the best of his generation!

Luckily it didn't come to that as Fluttershy gave the mare a glare RonI didn't think the kind mare could make and kindly told her to leave, which she did with fear in her eyes. This made the trip to the hospital go by more smoothly but mares still have him varying degrees of lustful looks and trying to edge him over to them. Some even go so far as to show off their bare tits and asses to him to try and seduce him. Thankfully they arrived just at the hospital and after they got a room for Rainbow Dash and she was patched up, Fluttershy stepped out for a moment to call her friends and wanted him to wait until they arrived and they can help answer any questions he may need. 

‘Don’t remind me,’ RonI mentally sighs. ‘But we can’t just ditch Miss Shy, besides we need answers and her friends may be the only ones who could give them and not want to get into my pants.’

'I swear we've met Succubus who have more self-control than those sluts,' Motomeru sighed making her handler chuckle. 'I'm serious RonI if any of these Mares try anything you don't want them too, I'm cutting them up good and you better show them why you're a warrior and you're not carrying me around just for show.'

'Noted,' RonI nods before the door opens and Fluttershy steps back into the room. "Hey, how was the call?"

"It was fine, they should all be here in about an hour or two as they are currently in the middle of work," Fluttershy says before sitting down in the extra chair. "Thank you for being so patient Mister RonI."

“You can just call me RonI, mister makes me feel old,” RonI chuckled. “I'm only eighteen for Pete’s sake.”

"Really?!" Fluttershy shouted, her eyes wide with surprise and...something else. "B-But you're so small!"

RonI rolls his eyes while Motomeru chuckles. "If I got a nickel for every time someone said that. I got unlucky in the gene pool roulette so even though I’m the age I am now I’m stuck as a shortstack until my late growth-spurt finally hits.”

“And even then you might not grow much,” Motomaru added cheekily.

“Shut it Moto,” RonI griped while Fluttershy giggled at the pair's antics. “Oh, thanks for taking care of that mare earlier in town.”

“It’s my pleasure, I really don’t like mares like that anyway,” Fluttershy says with the most adorable frown on her face.

‘Aw I want to hug her even more now,’ RonI mentally gushed.

A low groan sounded out, causing them to look at the hospital bed where Rainbow was resting, it seemed she was coming too.

“Oh joy she’s awake,” Motomeru drawled uncaringly while RonI shushed her.

“Ugh my head,” Rainbow groaned as she rubbed her head soothing.

“Rainbow,” Fluttershy smiled softly, “How are you feeling?”

“Like AJ bucked me in the head twenty times in a row,” She winces as she carefully sits up. “Where am I?”

“You’re in the hospital, you broke your wing after you crashed in the Everfree Forest remember?” Fluttershy says.

“Oh yeah, that’s right! I also got surrounded by Timber Wolves but kicked the” Rainbow started but trailed off with her eyes slowly widening as they landed on RonI.

“Yo,” The human says while throwing up a peace sign while Motomeru lazily waved her cloth.

“...What happened in the forest wasn’t a dream was it?” The cyan pegasus groaned, flopping back down on the bed.

“Well at least she didn’t go off on you again,” Motomeru commented.

“YOU!” Rainbow snarled at the sword. “You knocked me out! How did you do that?”

“If you don’t remember what happened then maybe I should do it again to refresh your memories,” The sword threatened, morphing her cloth into a fist again.

“Um please don’t fight in the hospital, I don’t want to disturb the other patients,” Fluttershy interjected softly. “...if that’s alright with you.”

“You heard the pretty angel pony Moto, stand down,” RonI chides his partner with a chuckle.

“Fine, but only because I actually like this one,” Motomeru drawled, wrapping her cloth around herself.

“Sorry about her, she tends to be pretty protective of me at times,” RonI says rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

“It’s fine Rainbow Dash is like that with me sometimes so the two of them are sorta similar in a way,” Fluttershy said sweetly.

“I am nothing like her!/ I am nothing like her!” Rainbow and Motomeru shouted as one before looking at each other in shock before glaring at the other and then turning away with huffs

RonI and Fluttershy could only shake their heads in amusement at the similarities between them.

“Alright, I need a serious answer out of you Midget,” Rainbow suddenly says.

“Then you best ask me a serious question if you want it answered,” RonI counters, making Motomeru snicker. “Also my name is RonI, not Midget.”

“Whatever, I’ll call you what I want,” Rainbow waved off, making Fluttershy frown at her friend. “Tell me what trick you did to make it seem like you beat those Timber Wolves.”

“I’m sorry what?” RonI said with a frown.

“Don’t play dumb, I know you did some sort of trick to make it seem like you’re strong just like how you’re making that dumb sword talk,” Rainbow said with a cocky smirk as if figuring it out. “I bet it's not even real and is nothing more than a plastic prop puppet and your some sort of ventriloquist or something? It’s the only explanation for a male like you to fake being strong.”

That struck a chord within RonI as his hands twitched and an angry vein formed on his head but he sighed through his nose and calmed down, lest he does something rash. His partner on the other hand...

“A FAKE?! IT’S BAD ENOUGH YOU INSULT ME BUT YOU DARE CALL MY PARTNER’S STRENGTH FAKE?!?!” Motomeru roared in fury as she tried to fly out of her sheath only for RonI to grab her by the handle and stop her. “Let me go RonI! I’ll show this sexist bitch just how fake I am!!”

“Drop it Moto,” RonI says softly, much to his partner’s shock. 

“But RonI sh-!”

“Drop it, it's not worth wasting your breath on the ignorant and hard-headed fools like her,” RonI says standing up and walking towards the door but not before looking at Fluttershy. “Miss Shy thank you for bringing us into town but I think I’ll try and figure things out on my own without waiting on more of your friends to get here. I hope you don’t mind and you’ll forgive my rudeness.”

“Oh...I understand and I’m sorry about Rainbow’s behavior,” Fluttershy apologizes.

“Don’t be, you have nothing to apologize for,” RonI says before giving the mare a quick hug making her give a quiet eep in surprise. “I’ll see you later.”

“Ok, stay safe you two,” Fluttershy said sadly hugging back.

“Hey! You haven't answered my question male! Get back here!” Rainbow shouts in annoyance.

Her shouts go ignored as RonI steps out of the room, but not before Motomeru forms a hand with her cloth and gives the cyan mare the middle finger. Once he closes the door, Rainbow scoffs in irritation.

“Piece of shit faker, once I get out of here I’ll hunt him down and beat the answers out of him.” Rainbow growls.

Fluttershy abruptly stands up before stalking over to her fellow pegasus before then slapping her across the face, hard.

“OW! What the buck Shy!?” Rainbow exclaimed before cowering in fear as her friend fixes her with The Stare.

“I hope you're happy Rainbow Dash!” Fluttershy scowls at her friend. “RonI was a good-natured stallion who is lost and confused and you just treat him like he’s a freak of nature!”

“He is a freak Shy! If you saw the shit he pulled in the Everfree you’d be taking my side!” Rainbow shouted back, nursing her cheek from the slap. “Not that it was real or anything, he’s obviously using some sort of trick, I can prove it.”

“Well, perhaps you should go and break your other wing to attract more Timber Wolves again to prove your theory, and frankly, I hope RonI leaves you to get mauled by them,” Fluttershy growls, surprising Dash. 

“Y-You don’t mean that do you Shy?” Rainbow asked meekly.

The taller mare crosses her arms under her massive chest and fixes Rainbow with a look. “Does it look like I’m joking? When we run into RonI again you’re apologizing for insulting him as well as thanking him for saving your life, do I make myself clear, Rainbow Dash?”

Rainbow didn’t want to thank that freak for anything but she nodded begrudgingly due to Fluttershy’s stare.

“Good,” Fluttershy said calmly before looking at the door with a sad frown. ‘I hope you are going to be alright RonI, please don’t do anything rash.’





After leaving the hospital, RonI wandered around Ponyville until coming across a park and decided to plop down on a bench by himself under a tree. He didn’t care about the looks he was getting by the park goers, too wrapped up in his own thoughts at the moment.

“That could have gone better than it did,” RonI mumbles.

“Yeah, we should have cut that bitch’s tongue out,” Motomeru growled with her eye narrowed. 

“That wouldn’t help our situation at all besides getting us arrested for assault, Moto” He scowls at his partner. “Look I don’t like her either but right now we have to work on our priorities like finding a place to stay and getting a flow of income. I got a feeling we won't be finding out how we got to this world anytime soon.”

“You think this place has a guild of some kind?” Motomeru asked.

“Maybe since they are so close to a forest full of those Timber Wolves and who knows what other kinds of dangerous creatures it may have,” RonI says with a shrug. “We won’t know until we ask but I think we should try and ask the Mayor of this town first.”

“Let's hope they’re nothing like any of these sluts or God forbid that blue cunt dyke,” Motomeru snarled, thinking about Rainbow made her blood boil and she doesn’t even have any.

“Fingers crossed that she is more like Miss Shy,” RonI said hopefully.

“That reminds me...what the hell was that back there?” Motomeru questioned.

“Back where?” RonI asked with a raised brow.

“Don’t play dumb with me RonI, you know exactly what I mean!” Motomeru hissed. “Why did you let that bitch talk about you like that and insult your strength? She has no idea the blood, sweat, and tears you shed to get to where you are now and you just took that lying down! I don’t remember allowing a punk bitch to be my handler!”

“Motomeru...I-” RonI began but was cut off.

“No! I want a straight answer from you! You never let anyone, not even your own flesh and blood, call you weak or say you’re a fake! You wanna know what you do when someone talks that kind of shit with you? You prove them fucking wrong and flex on them of how much of a badass you are and how inferior they are to you and they should worship the ground you walk on!” The sword ranted.

“You’re going a little too far on that partner, tone it down some,” RonI says awkwardly but Motomeru just glared at him with her one eye.

“Then tell me why damnit!” She exclaimed.

“...We’re in a completely different world Moto, therefore there’s gonna be some serious cultural differences that while we may find bizarre and weird is actually normal to them,” RonI explains before noticing a stallion walking by with two mares by his side. “For what I can piece together, it seems the males, of this species at least, are much more dainty and soft meaning they are the lesser sex and is viewed as weaker. That’s the complete opposite of back home on Earth, at least in the early years when women didn’t have a lot of rights and positions of power.”

“Yeah but that crap happened at least four thousand years ago, what’s your point?” Motomeru asked.

“I think the reason this place is so backward compared to us is that the stallions are an endangered species. I mean think about it, since we’ve come to this town I can count on one hand the number of stallions I’ve seen compared to the mares and even then they had at least two or more mares close by like a pack of wolves protecting a pup,” RonI explains. “What I mean to say is...they’re probably not used to someone like me and I have a feeling I’ll do more harm than good if I start acting the way I normally am. Maybe we should just lay low for a while and play it by ear, it’ll bring less attention to us if we do.”

The pair sat in silence for a few moments, neither one of them not wanting to say a word.

“...You’re an idiot, you know that?” Motomeru suddenly declares. “And I mean you’re being more so of one than usual.”

“Gee thanks for the boost in confidence partner, glad to know you have my back,” RonI says sarcastically.

Motomeru then suddenly flies off RonI’s back and lifts his head up with a cloth hand so he can look her in her one eye.

“And I always will have your back and that means I need to tell you when you’re about to go about something the wrong way,” The normally snarky sword says softly. “Look while that may sound like a good idea on paper, you have to realize you’ll be adding more fuel to the fire for the females of this world here. You’re basically saying you’re an easy target to be used and taken advantage of, you and I both know that not all of these mares are going to be kind like Fluttershy and she can’t be around to bail us out of a tight spot.”

RonI mulled over the words of his partner and came to a simple conclusion...she was right. Plus with him technically being an exotic species so mares will be gunning for him.

“Your right Moto I can’t lay back and take it, I’m a warrior through and through so I’m the one that has to be dishing it out,” RonI chuckles before looking at his partner with a smile. “What would I do without you?”

“Probably go along with that stupid plan of yours and get in more trouble than you need too,” Motomeru said with an eye smile before placing herself back on her handler’s back. “So what do you wanna do now? Go try and find the Mayor of this town?”

“We can later, first things first we need to make a trip back to the hospital,” RonI says while standing up to stretch.

“Why?” She asked.

“We need to set things straight with a certain ungrateful blue cunt,” RonI says with a smirk while Motomeru cackled gleefully. 

“There’s the RonI I know and love!” She eye grinned. “The one that takes shit from no one and charges into battle with a grin on his face!”

“Jesus woman, you make me sound like a berserker,” The human shakes his head while walking back to the hospital. “Also if I get like that again I want you to punch me in the face as hard as you can.”

“Gladly.”

Just as RonI was about to leave the park he was stopped by two tall mares blocking his path and looking down at him with smirks on their faces.

“Can I help you two?” RonI asks.

“You can keep our bed warm for awhile~” The unicorn mare on the left purred lustfully but was jabbed in the arm playfully by her friend.

“What my friend here means is we want to join the Herd of an adorable exotic creature like yourself,” The earth pony mare on the right said.

‘Gonna have to learn the term of what a Herd is later,’ RonI thinks before answering. “Sorry ladies but I’m new to town so I don’t have a Herd as you put it.”

“Aw you poor thing,” The unicorn gushed as they got closer.

“We’ll teach you everything about Herds,” The earth pony purred.

“No thank you I’m good,” RonI backed up a bit to stay out of their reach. ‘Moto, any ideas to get out of this without causing a scene?’

‘Does that mean we cant slice off their legs?’ Motomeru asked.

‘Moto!’

‘Fine ya kill joy! I say we go with the old bait and hide tactic,’ Motomeru suggested.

‘That’s more like it!’ RonI thinks while charging a bit of energy in his left hand.

“Who said you had a choice?” The earth pony says with a thirsty grin.

“Just come with us willingly and we might not have to use the ropes on you,” The unicorn said with false sweetness while her horn glowed a bit.

“Shinobu Kieru!” He shouts before throwing his hand down causing a plume of smoke to envelope him.

The mares scream in surprise and cough violently, not at all expecting that from the small human male. When they stopped coughing and the smoke cleared, RonI was nowhere to be seen.

“Where did he go?!” The unicorn screeched, looking around wildly.

The earth pony looked around and saw RonI running towards the far end of the park. “There he is, let’s get him!”

The two mares race off in hot pursuit to claim their prize but had they stuck around long enough they would have seen the spot where RonI was standing shimmer before it revealed the said human who was chuckling softly.

“Well its good to know most mares are lust stupid and we can use it against them,” The human says with a snicker before walking towards the hospital. “I told you learning the Nisemono Otori and the Kamereon Bēru would be useful, the same goes for the Shinobu Kieru as well.”

“Alright alright, I’ll admit it was pretty funny to watch those thirsty tramps chase after your double not knowing it wasn’t the real you,” Motomeru giggled in amusement. “How long before they realize it was just an illusion copy?”

Two very loud and very frustrated shrieks rip through the air making other ponies cover their ears or look around in shock.

“Sounds like they just did,” RonI cheekily commented while Motomeru rolled her one eye.

The walk back to the hospital was one in peace.





Once arriving back at the hospital, RonI asked the receptionist if Fluttershy was still in the room with Rainbow Dash and thankfully she was. After a quick walk down the halls, the duo arrived at the door and knocked on it a few times.

“Come in,” The soft voice of Fluttershy called.

“Yo, we're back,” RonI greets as he opens the door and steps into the room, he sees that Fluttershy and Rainbow are the only ones in the room still so their friends haven’t arrived yet.

“Hello RonI, how was your walk?” The butter-yellow pegasus asks sweetly.

Rainbow however just scoffs at the sight of the human and turns away from him.

“It was fine, I needed to get some fresh air, hospitals always seem to make the air stuffy for me,” RonI says, ignoring the cyan pegasus.

“Yeah, makes it hard to think straight,” Motomeru mused knowingly before glancing at Dash and then talking to RonI through their mental link. ‘So how do you plan to get back at Miss Bitchy Blue here?’

‘I have an idea, but first, go float over to Miss Shy and keep her calm for what I’m about to do, okay?’

Motomeru makes a grunt of acknowledgment and floats over to Fluttershy, much to her surprise and Rainbow’s anger.

“Hey, freak! Get your stupid prop away fro-ACK!” Rainbow began but was silenced when RonI grabbed her tightly by her neck, cutting her off.

Fluttershy tried to get up to stop RonI but she was held back by Motomeru’s cloth.

“Don’t worry he’s not going to do anything rash, he’s just making a point,” The sword spoke softly making the mare calm down a bit but still look on worriedly

“Let’s get some things straight Rainbow Dyke,” RonI says with a deathly serious tone. “As of now, I don’t like you at all. You’ve done nothing but belittle me, insult my partner, and you have the gall to say my strength is fake even though you saw me in action when I saved your sorry ass from becoming dog food. Let me ask you, does this feel weak to you?” Rainbow only gagged trying in vain to pull his hand off her neck. “I know many ways to kick your ass without breaking a sweat but I’m not gonna bother because quite frankly you’re not worth it.” 

He shoves her back onto the bed letting go of her neck while leaving a slight hand mark on it as the cyan mare gasped for breath.

“You don’t have to like me Rainbow Dash, I frankly don’t give a damn if you or anyone of this world does or doesn't. But I’m warning you now, try and treat me like I’m sort of an inferior species again and I’m gonna make you wish those Timber Wolves finished you off, do I make myself clear?” RonI finishes with a hard look in his eyes.

Rainbow nodded, cowering in fear while holding her neck.

“Good,” RonI nods his head before looking at Fluttershy apologetically. “I’m sorry you had to see that Miss Shy but to get my point across on someone as stubborn as her I needed to get a little rough.”

“It's ok I guess,” Fluttershy said softly, throwing the cyan mare a firm look. “Even though I don't approve of this method, with Rainbow Dash I’ll make an exception due to her attitude.”

“Feel better partner?” Motomeru asked as she returned to RonI’s back.

“Yeah I finally got it out of my system,” RonI sighed as he sat down next to Fluttershy. 

“What is this, abuse Rainbow Dash day!?” The cyan pegasus exclaimed.

“Keep harassing my partner and I’ll make it a fucking national holiday!” Motomeru warned with a glare.

“Screw you ya stupid hunk of metal!” The pegasus shouts back.

This dissolves into an argument between the two while Fluttershy chuckles awkwardly and RonI gains a massive sweatdrop

“Miss Shy please tell me your friends are gonna be here soon?” RonI sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

“They should be here within a few moments, please hold on a little longer,” The timid pegasus coxes softly.

Right as she says this, there is a swift knock on the door before it opens and four new mares stepped inside, catching everyone’s attention.

The first mare was a unicorn who stood at 5ft 10in with pale lavender fur, purple eyes, dark blue mane and tail with a pink and magenta highlight running down both brushed neatly and had a modest build. She wore what looked like a uniform with a pale blue dress shirt under a dark purple vest, both hugging her double F-Cup breasts, and a matching dress skirt complete with a pair of brown shoes and white knee-high socks. RonI could tell she had brains in spades as well as being powerful with a large amount of energy he was sensing within her.

The second mare was another unicorn but she stood at 6ft 5in with pure white fur, sapphire blue eyes, and deep violet silky mane and tail that naturally curled and bounced as well as having an hourglass figure. She had on a modest amount of makeup only being extra eyelashes and red lipstick on her plump lips. She wore a blouse matching her fur color and showed off a lot of her double H-Cup cleavage, black dress pants that hugged her hips, matching dress shoes, and finishing the attire with a silver necklace with a blue gem and three silver bangles on her left wrist. She had a lady of class air around her but was humble as well. In RonI’s honest opinion she was very beautiful with a body that would make most supermodels back home green with envy.

The third mare was an earth pony, she was 5ft 9in with bright pink fur, sky blue eyes, and a very fluffy magenta mane and tail that could rival RonI’s afro and was a little on the pudgy side. She wore a dark pink shirt with yellow and baby blue striped sleeves that hugged her triple G-Cup bust nicely. Yellow knee-length skirt held up by red suspenders, she had on a pair of pink and white high tops and mismatched blue and yellow socks one was stripped while the other was polka-dots. She had a very bubbly vibe to her like she was on a constant sugar-high and there was something else about her that RonI couldn’t really get a read on.

The fourth and final mare was easily the tallest of the four even taller then Fluttershy clocking in at 7ft 2in with amber-orange fur, sandy blonde mane, and tail with a red hair tie at the end of both, and forest green eyes, She wore a brown stetson on her head, red flannel button-up shirt tied together showing off her double I-cup breasts and rock hard six-pack. Blue jean short shorts held secured by a brown belt with an oval buckle that had the image of a trio of apples, and a pair of well worn brown cowboy boots. RonI could tell she is a hard worker and not someone you want to screw around with how buff she is, especially her powerful legs. Of course, those white freckles did make her cute.

“Hello Fluttershy, sorry if we kept you and Rainbow Dash waiting,” The purple unicorn said apologetically.

“Oh no, you didn’t Twilight,” Fluttershy assured softly. “I’m glad you’re all here though, I have someone I’d like you girls to meet.”

“Ohohohohoh! I love meeting new ponies, where are they?!” The pink mare exclaimed excitedly.

“While we’re at, mind telling us what this new critter next to you is Shy?” The cowgirl pony asks while pointing at RonI. “Is it some sort of exotic dress up animal you found or what?”

“Excuse me, bitch?” RonI says with a glare, making the four newcomers look at him in shock. “I know you did not just call me a pet?”

“IT TALKS!?!” The cowpony exclaimed in shock.

“Keep insulting me and I’m gonna do much more than just talk lady,” RonI growls, cracking his knuckles threateningly. 

“Scary little freak isn’t it?”Rainbow chuckles but shuts up when Fluttershy levels a glare at her.

“You’re really asking me to let Motomeru fly right through your thick skull aren’t you?” The human deadpans at the cyan mare.

“Please, continue talking more shit so he’ll let me do that,” Said sword threatened while pulling herself a little out of her sheath to imply it. “And I would do it with a smile on my face.”

“A sentient sword!” The purple unicorn exclaims with glee before zipping over to Motomeru with stars in her eyes. “I always thought they were nothing myths or in fantasy novels but here you are in the flesh, er, steel I mean!”

“Uhhh...thank you I guess?” Motomeru said awkwardly, not used to being complimented by strangers.

RonI chuckled at this before speaking. “Before you go, start picking my partner, you lot care to introduce yourselves?”

“Oh right,” The purple unicorn blushed sheepishly. “I'm Twilight Sparkle, I run the local Golden Oaks Library here in Ponyville.”

“Nice to meet you, Miss Sparkle,” RonI smiles. “I wouldn’t mind stopping by for a good book sometimes.”

“My doors are open for everyone,” Twilight says with a smile.

Next the pink earth pony bounced in front of him, her boobs bouncing wildly as she did making RonI blush. 

“Hi, my name is Pinkie Pie! I’m Ponyville’s resident party planner! Do you like parties? When’s your birthday? What's your favorite type of cake? Why are you small? You want to be Friends?” Pinkie spouted off in one breath.

RonI and Motomeru both had to blink rapidly, not at all prepared for the rapid-fire tongue that is Pinkie Pie.

“Uh...I do like parties, my birthday is June 15, I like various types of cake so I don’t have a favorite, my height is the result of genetics, and I wouldn’t mind being friends with you so long as you treat me like an equal,” RonI answers.

“YAY!” Pinkie cheered before snatching RonI up in a very tight hug causing his face to get smothered by the party mare’s large bust. “I can’t wait to throw you a welcome to Ponyville party!”

“MMMPH!” RonI muffles out.

“Pinkie darling, I think he needs to breathe,” the white mare pointed out.

“Huh? Oh, oopsie,” Pinkie giggled sheepishly letting RonI go, causing him to fall on his ass and gasping for air. “Sorry little guy.”

“Jezz woman you can kill a man with those things,” RonI gasps while Motomeru pats his back.

“You and I both know it's not a bad way to go really,” Motomeru teased.

“Quiet you,” RonI sternly says.

“Pinkie tends to get excited whenever there is anypony new,” The white mare mused as her horn glowed the same color as her eyes before RonI was covered in the aura and levitated back into his seat. “I am Rarity Belle darling, the resident fashionista and the owner of Carousel Boutique. If you ever need clothing of any kind, I’m your mare.”

“I may take you up on that sometime Lady Rarity,” RonI smiled gently taking her hand and kissing it.

“My such a gentlecolt,” Rarity giggled.

“You wouldn’t be saying that if you met him first like me,” Rainbow grouched.

“Maybe if you didn’t continue to insult me for no reason, especially when I saved your like from getting eaten by Timber Wolves,” RonI counters, catching the orange mare’s attention.

“Wait, you saved her life?” The farm pony said with a look. “Yer sure it wasn’t the other way around?”

“Oh come on, not this shit again!” Motomeru groaned while RonI rolled his eyes.

“Yes I saved her life, I don’t see how hard to believe Miss…” RonI said surely

“Applejack, I run Sweet Apple Acres with my family,” The farm pony introduces herself. “And like I said, I don’t believe you, a male, could actually save Dash here from Timber Wolves, let along fight them off by yourself.”

“I honestly don’t give a damn what you believe, clearly you’re just as much of an idiot as Cash & Burn here,” RonI drawls jabbing a thumb at the cyan tomboy.

The girls, even Fluttershy and Rainbow, gasped in shock as a male had just openly insulted Applejack in her face. The last time somepony did that they woke up several months later from a coma and with a boot-shaped indent in their head.

The mare in question was looking at RonI with narrowed eyes. “You best apologize to me right now if you know what’s good for you, I don’t like being insulted especially by a spoiled male like you.”

“Awww want’s wrong? The redneck bimbo can’t handle a whittle bit of name calling?” Motomeru mockingly cooed as Applejack snorted like a bull.

“Applejack dear, please calm down they didn’t mean it,” Rarity spoke soothingly.

“Oh we mean it,” RonI spoke up, making the fashionista look at him like he was crazy. “Also who the fuck gives you the right to call me spoiled? I didn’t have things given to me on a silver platter, I had to work my ass off through blood, sweat, and tears to get where I am today. I don’t know how stallions are here in this world and frankly, I don’t give a rats ass so the next time you wanna call someone spoiled I suggest you learn more about them before you start pointing fingers.”

“Or you can continue to be a brain dead hillbilly and we’ll just stomp your ass into the ground,” Motomeru comments cheekily with RonI shrugging helplessly.

“That too.”

Applejack had enough and was about to kick this, in her eyes, disrespectful midget to the moon with RonI preparing to defend himself seeing the hostile actions the orange mare was about to pull.

“ENOUGH!” Twilight suddenly roared, her magic flaring and holding Applejack and RonI both in place in violet auras and pushing them away. “We’re not here to cause a fight in the hospital but to help somepony who lost their way and get them home! Applejack as an Element of Harmony and the one who represents Honesty I expected better from you!”

“I am being honest Twi and those varmints need to learn some manners!” Applejack shouts while glaring at RonI and his sword.

RonI and Motomeru respond by giving the farm pony blank looks while simultaneously flipping her the bird, earning a shocked gasp out of Rarity and giggling snort from Pinkie. 

“Regardless, your attitude towards males, in general, is completely unacceptable! Would you act this way if we were asked to meet a male diplomat from another country or Faust forbid a male ruler?” Twilight lectured making the farm pony growl but look away. “That’s what I thought, now stop it and calm down.”

Twilight then turns her attention towards RonI and Motomeru. “As for you two, I know you’re both probably very confused and lost right now but I want you to promise me to not go and instigate a conflict just for the heck of it. Can you do that for me?”

“Hmmm, I think we can manage that,” RonI nods before glancing over his shoulder at Motomeru. “What do you think, partner?”

“Fine, but if they try and start something we have the right to defend ourselves as we see fit!” The sword grouched.

The purple Unicorn nods in agreement before letting RonI and Applejack out of their respective magic holds with the farm pony marching to the other side of the room next to Rainbow and leaning against the wall glaring at RonI all the way. Twilight sighs before looking outside and seeing the sun setting.

“Look, it’s getting late and we’re all pretty stressed out and tired. Maybe we should pick this up at a later date when Rainbow is out of the hospital and we can all sit down and relax more comfortably,” Twilight suggested. 

“Alright but I don’t really have anywhere to stay and I can’t rent a hotel since I don’t have your world's money,” RonI says scratching the back of his head.

“Guess we can camp out,” Motomeru suggested. “Not like we haven’t done that before.”

“No you won't, you can bunk with me at Sugar Cube corner!” Pinkie exclaimed excitedly much to everyone's shock.

“Are you sure Miss Cake will be okay with that?” Twilight asked in concern.

“Well duh she’d be more than happy for some extra company! It’s only the two of us living there and we do have an extra bedroom that's not being occupied already prepped so it's perfect!” Pinkie says.

“It would probably be for the best,” Fluttershy speaks up. “My home is currently packed with sick or injured animals and I couldn't ask RonI to sleep in someplace so crowded. I think this will be the best option.”

“You do have a point darling,” Rarity hums. “I would let him stay at the boutique but Sweetie is staying over and I simply don’t have any space for him.”

“Well I do have an extra room at the library but it's currently being used as a storage room,” Twilight said sheepishly.

“No way am I letting you sleep at my house,” Rainbow scowled harshly. “Besides you're not a pegasus so you can’t walk on clouds.”

‘Didn’t your father teach you how to walk on clouds a couple of months back?’  Motomeru questioned.

‘Yeah but that’s only temporary and mostly used for combat,’  RonI thinks back before answering out loud. “I think I’ll go with your offer Pinkie Pie.”

“Yay! You won’t regret it, little guy!” Pinkie chirped happily.

“My name is RonI by the way,” RonI added.

“Well RonI we’ll meet tomorrow after lunch at the library when Rainbow is released, I hope that's okay?” Twilight asked.

“That’s fine Miss Sparkle,” RonI smiled before standing up. “Well, I wish you, three ladies, a good night,” He says referring to Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy.

He then looks at Rainbow and Applejack. “As for you two...I hope we can get along better tomorrow with cooler heads after a good night's sleep, see ya.” RonI then follows behind Pinkie Pie out of the room, leaving the five mares in the room with three smiling and two shocked.

“Well, it seems he wants to make peace with you both despite how rude you both were,” Rarity comments.

Applejack just scoffs, getting off the wall and marching towards the door. “It’ll take more than a few pretty words for me to forgive him let alone trust him, I’ll see y’all tomorrow.”

With the farm mare gone, Twilight and Rarity took their leave while giving Rainbow Dash some goodbyes with Fluttershy lingering behind. Once she was sure they were along, the butter-yellow mare walks over to her cyan counterpart and pulls her into a gentle but firm hug which Rainbow, while surprised, returns it.

“I’m sorry I smacked you Dashie but you have to understand why I did it,” She says softly before breaking the hug to look her in the eyes. “RonI saved your life and yet you insult and ridiculed him every chance you got just for the simple fact he is a male. He lost in a land not his own and he could have left you to die by those Timber Wolves but he didn’t, he selflessly rescued you from danger and...I have a feeling you are very grateful to him doing that but your pegasus pride and those stupid teachings of the SPC won’t allow you to admit it.”

Rainbow Dash winced at her friend’s words but didn’t say anything and looked away shamefully, while Fluttershy just patted her friend’s shoulder in comfort.

“I know it's hard to forget those teachings after they were taught to you when you were just a filly but you’ll have to change one way or another Dashie, especially with how you interact with RonI, you’re letting them control your actions and emotions,” Fluttershy softly soothed. “I honestly want you both, Applejack as well, to get along with each other and not be at each other's throats over one thing or another so...please think about it, ok?”

Fluttershy tenderly kisses Rainbow on the forehead before she walks out leaving the cyan mare alone with her own thoughts. She had a lot to think about regarding the young human male.

“Buck me...why do things always have to be complicated?” The Element of Loyalty sighed, flopping back onto her bed. “Hopefully, things will make a lot more senes tomorrow, they can’t get any worse as they have today right?”

Famous last words Rainbow Dash, famous last words.

Chapter 3: Securing a Flow of Income


The sun began to rise in Ponyville as its warm early morning rays of light began to blanket across the small town. The residents, young and old, began to rise from their slumber to get ready for today either at school, work, or any other activities they had planned. Of course, two new residents of Ponyville are going to have quite a productive day.

Inside the famous Sugarcube Corner bakery, we find RonI laying in bed and wide awake, having woken up a few minutes ago, reflecting on everything that has happened in the past twenty-four hours. From getting sucked into a random ass portal to interacting with some of the residents of this world both positive and negatives it was honestly alright. The only downside was he probably won’t be able to make peace with Applejack and Rainbow Dash any time soon due to their view on males but one step at a time.

“A new day in a world not my own,” RonI sighs as he sits up causing the blanket to fall on his lap showing he tank top covered torso and his hair to shift down and cover his eyes. His goggles and his jacket were hanging from one of the bedposts and his boots next to the bed. He didn't have any sleepwear due to always being on the go so he just went to bed as is. “Let’s hope today will be much better than yesterday.”

“With our luck, it’ll vary,” Motomeru spoke up from her propped up place against the nightstand.

“Morning partner, rest well?” RonI asked as he got out of bed and stretched.

“More or less,” She said, making a so-so motion with her cloth. “How about you?”

“Pretty good, we’ve been roughing in the woods for the past couple weeks prior to coming here so the bed was definitely a godsend,” He smiled as he put his boots on.

“So the plan for today is the same as yesterday I take it?” Motomeru asked while floating in the air as RonI finished tying his boots.

“Yeah, after breakfast we go and have a quick talk with the Mayor of this town and then have that little meeting with Twilight and her friends,” RonI confirms while putting on his jacket and then his goggles which lift his hair out of his eyes.

“It’s going to be a pain in the ass if the blue cunt and redneck bimbo start anything,” The sword drawled before she placed herself on her handler’s back.

“Hopefully it doesn’t come to that,” RonI mutters before he hears a knock at his door. “Who is it?”

“It's Pinkie, breakfast is ready!” The party mare chirped on the other side, “Miss Cake made blueberry pancakes!”

“I’ll be down in a moment!” RonI shouts back as the mare responds with an “Okie Dokie Lokie!” and the human can hear her bounce her way down the hall. “I swear that mare is this world's version of Deadpool.”

“Well she certainly isn't boring that's for sure,” Motomeru mused.

“True,” RonI chuckled before leaving his room and heading downstairs into the dining room.

Once they got there, the duo was greeted to the comical sight of Pinkie wolfing down her breakfast while her landlord/boss scolded her like a mother as she set down more food. Chiffon Swirl is a middle-aged earth pony mare that stood 5ft 11in with light blue fur, pink mane and tail styled like frosting and matching eyes. She wore a yellow dress that stopped below her knees under a white apron with frills on the shoulders that hugged both her pleasantly plump figure and double H-cup bust, black slip-on shoes, and a pair of pale pink pearl earrings. She also liked to go by Cupcake or Miss Cake whichever you prefer.

“Pinkie! I’ve told you to chew before you swallow,” Chiffon stated in a firm motherly tone before she notices RonI’s arrival and gives a smile. “Good morning RonI, did you sleep okay?”

“Like a log on a rock,” RonI smiled back taking a seat at the table. “Thanks again for letting me stay over for the night Miss Cake, I do apologize for the suddenness for the request last night but we really didn’t have another option besides roughing up in the woods again.”

“Which we’re used to already so it wouldn’t have been so bad if you refused,” Motomeru piped up.

“No need to apologize you two. I don’t mind you staying over,” Chiffon giggled before placing down a plate stack high with blueberry pancakes complete with syrup and whip cream in front of RonI. “It's very nice to have somepony else here other than just me and Pinkie, despite having her here the place still feels a little empty.”

“Well, I’m glad me and Moto could make this place feel livelier.” RonI chuckled before digging into his meal.

“While we appreciate your hospitality, Miss Cake,” Motomeru says respectfully. “Once we start gaining income we’ll be sure to pay you back for what you’re doing for us.”

“Also it’s non-negotiable so don’t even think about trying to convince me otherwise, I’ve already made up my mind,” RonI speaks up after swallowing his food. “However if you would like me to help you out around the bakery, as long as it's manual labor, I wouldn’t mind helping you out.”

“Very well dearie,” Chiffon complied as the trio enjoyed their breakfast in silence.

After they had their fill, RonI offered to do the dishes while the two mares got ready to open the store which they appreciated greatly but still helped him put them in the sink. With Motomeru’s help, the chore took about ten minutes to complete. The duo then goes up to the front where the dining area for the bakery is to see Chiffon wiping down the counter while Pinkie did the same to the tables and chairs, humming a tune as she did so.

“The dishes are all done Miss Cake,” RonI informed the baker.

“Thank you, dear, I appreciate you doing it,” The mature mare thanks. “Can you please flip the sign from CLOSED to OPEN and unlock the door? We’re ready to open now.”

“Of course,” RonI nods before walking around the counter to do just that.

After he does so, however, a familiar purple unicorn bursts inside and topples into RonI, sending them both to the floor with yells and yelps of shock. 

“Ugh,” Twilight and RonI both groan.

“Are you two okay?” Pinkie asked as she and Chiffon rushed up to her to check on them.

“I’m fine, what did I run into though?” Twilight asks.

“My partner who you’re currently suffocating with your purple melons,” Motomeru snickers.

Twilight looks down and sees that she landed on top of RonI with her chest directly in his face making her give a Fluttershy-like “Eep!” before quickly standing up to reveal a red-faced RonI.

‘What is this a freaking anime?’ The human thinks as he sits up while Twilight fires off a thousand apologies a second. “Twilight it’s ok I’m fine, trust me when I say I’ve been knocked to the ground by things that are a lot worse.”

“I didn’t see you near the door,” She said with a blush.

“I don’t see how anyone can miss him with all this hair despite his small size,” Motomeru comments while patting RonI’s hair with a cloth hand.

“You would think some would,” The human mutters as he gets to his feet and dusts himself.

“Sweet Celestia Twilight, I told you to slow down!” A voice panted out at the door.

RonI and Motomeru looked at the door and to their surprise, it wasn’t another pony but some sort of female anthro lizard. She had pale purple scales, a faint lime green underbelly that started from her bottom jaw down to her tail tip which ended in a spade, she had light green spines on her head that formed a mohawk that went to one side and smaller spines running down the back of her tail, fin-like ears that are a lighter shade than her spines and matching eyes with oval pupils. Her attire is a black and white hoodie sweater, blue jean booty shorts, black thigh-high stockings, and white high-top sneakers with dark purple stripes on the sides. She had a pear-shaped figure with an E-cup bust, large rear and she stood at 4ft 10in tall, three inches taller than RonI.

“You know I can’t run as fast as you remember?” The lizard girl huffed at Twilight.

“Sorry Barb, I just wanted to catch RonI before he left for the day,” Twilight apologized.

“Well here I am, what do you need?” RonI asked.

“Also who’s the lizard chick?” Motomeru bluntly asked, pointing to the second shortest one in the room.

Her answer was a green fireball rocketing towards her but it was quickly caught by RonI who then quickly clapped his hands together dispelling it.

“I am not a lizard! I...AM...A...DRAGONESS!” Barb roared in anger, smoke streaming out of the sides of her mouth.

“Whoa whoa, easy! She didn’t mean to insult you, right Moto?” RonI blurted looking at his partner.

“Yeesh take a chill pill will you!” Motomeru exclaimed.

“Barbra please calm down, she didn’t know,” Twilight said calmly. “Sorry about her, she is sensitive about being called a lizard.”

“No kidding,” RonI mutters before looking at Barb. “Listen, don't mind Moto she tends to shoot her mouth off without thinking.”

“Oi!” the sword yelled at the jab which RonI ignored.

“Let's start over,” RonI said before holding out his hand. “My name is RonI.”

The dragoness took a deep breath before taking his hand. “Barbra but you can call me Barb.”

“I hope we get along Barb,” RonI smiled as they shook hands. Once they parted he turned to Twilight. “What do you need to tell me Twilight?”

“Well, I was wondering if you would allow Barb to come with you to be your tour guide around town?” She asked. “You see me and the girls still have work to do today, except Rainbow Dash, so we might have to push it back to a little after lunch.”

“I understand it's still morning and you girls are bound to be busy,” RonI replied. “We don’t mind at all.

“Definitely better than us wandering around and getting jumped by more mares who want to get into my partner’s pants,” Motomeru commented.

“Please don’t remind me of that,” RonI groans, a slight blush forming on his face.

“Awww I wanted to show RonI around!” Pinkie pouted.

“Maybe next time Pinkie, but for now you and I have work to do,” Chiffon giggled at the pink mare’s complaint.

“Don’t worry Pinkie we’ll meet up again at the library,” RonI assured her.

“Okay!” She smiled before going back to cleaning tables.

“That mare’s mood changes on a dime,” Motomeru commented.

"Yeah but it makes her unique from most people we've met," RonI replies with a shrug before then looking at Barb. "So Barb how would you like to do this little tour?"

“Let's walk around a bit,” Barb suggested. “I’ll point out things so you know what's what and where everything is.”

“Alrighty then, lead the way,” RonI says as he follows the dragoness out before turning back.”I’ll see you, girls, after lunch at the library.”

“Have a good day,” Motomeru waved back lazily as they exited the store.

“Such an interesting pair,” Chiffon mused after they left.

“They are,” Twilight giggled before gaining a curious look. “RonI is so much different then stallions it makes me wonder about what his world is like.”

“Ooh! ooh! I know!” Pinkie chirped excitedly, catching their attention. “Maybe in his world, males and females are equals and RonI is a super cool warrior, one of the best in his generation and Moto has a seriously bad case of amnesia!”

“How do you know?” Twilight asked with a raised brow.

“Just a hunch.” The party mare said with a smile before skipping off to the kitchen. Twilight and Chiffon looked at each other then they shrugged. 

It was just Pinkie being Pinkie.





It has been about three hours since leaving Sugar Cube Corner and RonI can safely say that he and Motomeru both know the entire layout of Ponyville thanks to Barb’s guidance. They otherworldly duo have managed to learn the locations of some important landmarks such as the Schoolhouse and one of the teachers who offered to give him any lessons about the Equestria if he asked, the Spa run by a pair of earth pony mare twins who while flirty respected him as a person, and the Town Hall run by a mature mare who was kind enough to point them in the direction Ponyville’s newly built guild house. When asked why it was newly built the Mayor embarrassedly admitted that two members were having a heavy disagreement of some kind and got into a massive brawl that dragged other members into it which wrecked the entire place.

Currently, the trio was walking through the Market en route to the guild per the Mayor’s directions, due to the brawl the guild had to move to a more empty part of Ponyville as residents complained about all the noise the guild was making as well as the property damage the members cause when they get out of hand. Along the way, RonI asked Barb a bit more about Equestria in general which the young Dragoness was more than happy to tell.

“So wait, you're telling me that the population here is 96% female and 4% are males?” RonI gapped in shock while Barb nodded.

“Shit, I knew the gender ratio would be bad, but to that degree is insane,” Motomeru added.

“Well it's mostly here in Equestria, other nations are not as bad but still have a slightly higher female percentage,” Barb explained. “Back in the old days, the gender ratio used to be relatively normal 50/50 but over time the birth rate for females was increasing while male births were falling, till it got to this point. No one noticed it at first since the changes were only very minor, but it suddenly dropped at an alarming rate.”

“Is that why a majority of mares are looking at me like I'm a piece of meat?” RonI asked with a sour look, gesturing to the mares that were giving him lustful looks.

“Sadly yeah,” Barb sighs with a nod. “Males, especially stallions, are very precious and single mares will do their best to snag any single male they can get so they can get straight to breeding them in hopes of getting pregnant with a colt. Unfortunately, the chances of getting one are very low and even with the assistant of magic or potions it always results in the foal becoming a filly for some reason.”

“That’s bizarre as all hell,” RonI mutters with his eyes narrowed in thought. ‘You thinking what I’m thinking, Motomeru?’

‘That the Pony Race as a whole was possibly cursed?’ The sword asks. 

‘Yeah, it’s the only thing that makes sense and Dad did say that such a thing was possible when he was lecturing me on the things I need to be careful of, curses being at the top of the list,’ RonI answers. ‘While there are many different kinds, even the simplest ones are difficult to master and take time to use efficiently.’

‘Yeah but this curse is very powerful as well as the person or persons that may have cast it,’ Motomeru grumbled. ‘Hell we don’t know when it was cast, they could be long dead for all we know or if it can even be broken.’

‘One thing at a time partner, one thing at a time,’ RonI thinks, before he noticed their guide come to a stop. “What’s up Barb?”

“I think we’re here,” The dragoness says, looking up making RonI and Motomeru look as well.

The building they were standing in front of appeared to be a three-story tavern mixed with both a medieval and modern look with a pair of tall double doors in the front. Hanging above the doors was a banner that said “Harmony for All Guild” with a symbol of a sun above a large crescent moon behind the words. The symbol kinda reminded the human of the Buddhist symbol for harmony but instead of it being just pitch black the sun was yellow and the moon dark purple.

“Huh seems quite welcoming,” Barb commented before they heard the sounds of crashing and shouting from inside. 

“What the hell is that?” Motomeru asked.

“Let’s go find out,” RonI stated as he pushes open the door…

...only having to duck as a pony came flying over them screaming much to Barb’s shock as she also screamed while latching onto RonI’s back making Motomeru laugh at the Dragoness. The human ignores it and turns his attention back inside the Guild to see there was a full-blown brawl going on with members throwing punches, kicks, weapons, magic, and a number of things at each other.  He saw the guild members weren’t just ponies like Unicorns, Pegasi, and Earth Ponies, and similar creatures like Zebras and what looked to be Pegasi with bat wings. But there were also more Dragons like Barb, Gryphons, Minotaurs, Yaks, Dogs, Cats, even a few Deer with all of them being anthros.

“What in the actual hell is going on?” Barb gaped in confusion still latched onto RonI. “Why is everyone fighting?”

“Relax sweetheart, they’re just having a little fun,” Motomeru chuckled much to the Dragoness’s disbelief.

“You call this fun!?” Barb exclaimed.

“Take from someone with experience, no matter where you go all guilds will be rowdy in some way or form,” RonI says with a smile. “And personally, I love guilds like this as they are very fun.”

“Oh hell yeah I’m sure we can get along with these people no problem,” Motomeru eye smiled. “All we have to do now is find the Guild Master and see about joining up.”

“Um, where would they be?” Barb asked nervously.

“KNOCK IT OF YOU BUNCH OF BLOODY MORONS!” The sudden bellowing voice made everyone shut up and stop what they were doing while Barb just freaked out more while hiding behind RonI’s afro. 

Everyone looked up to the second-floor balcony to see that the speaker was an elder looking pegasus stallion looking down at everyone with a glare of annoyance. The stallion stood at 5ft 2in in height with a forest green coat, steely gray eyes, and cloud white mane and tail in a messy style along with a long Goatee beard that reached his waist. His attire was a light green long-sleeve dress shirt under a gunmetal grey coat with the guild’s mark on the back in the same colors on the banner, desert brown combat pants tucked in a pair of matching combat boots and carried a cane with a tennis ball-sized white pearl on top. Despite him being old the stallion looked very fit for his age and held the aura of someone with great power.

“I know you punks are happy to actually go wild without worrying about any complaints of the townsfolk but that doesn’t mean you can wreak our brand new guild when we just got it!” The stallion shouted with high authority making every member shrink under his gaze before he sighs while rubbing the bridge of his muzzle. “I'm getting too old for this shit. Clean up this mess and go about your business but I swear to Faust if I find another hole that isn’t a mouse hole I’m gonna use your sorry asses to fix it, understand?”

“Yes, Guild Master!” The members saluted before they began cleaning up anything.

He then notices RonI and raises an eyebrow, not recognizing the creature at all but he notices the sword on his back. He smirked before hopping down from the balcony landing firmly on his feet. The elder headed towards the short teen, his cane clicking against the wooden floorboards as he walked up to him.

“Well, what do we have here? Two new youngins hoping to join my guild full of misfits?” The old stallion asks.

“O-Oh! Um, I’m not sir but he is?” Barb speaks up while pointing at RonI.

“Yo,” The Afrotagonist flashes a peace sign in greeting. “My name is RonI, I’m currently new to Ponyville and Equestria in general and I need income.”

“Well then my boy, I would like to welcome you to the Harmony For All Guild,” The elder stated with a smile while spreading his arms out to gesture to the whole building. “My name is Jade Cloud, but you all can call me Master JC if you wish. Tell me, have you ever had any experience working in a guild before?”

“Before being dumped here I was actually an Adventurer back home so I already have experience with Quests and bounties for criminals as well,” RonI explains making the Guild Master gain a look in interest.

"I see...well since you aren’t a complete greenhorn I won’t have to put you through the trial run by doing low-rank Quests for a month,” Jade said, making the teen sigh in relief. “However, this means we can skip straight to assessing your PR by having a friendly spare with one of my senior members. I would have you duke it out with one, in particular, right now if you’re up to it, unfortunately, they’re currently busy with a mission and won’t be back by late tonight so you’ll have to wait until tomorrow afternoon.”

“That’s fine, we have a prior engagement we need to get to right now,” Barb speaks up while looking at her watch. “We better get going RonI, Twilight has a peeve about being on time and we need to get going now to make it back to Golden Oak’s before she has one of her panic episodes.”

“Everyone has their flaws it would seem,” RonI chuckled before turning back to Jade. “Well, I’ll see you tomorrow at...wait what time should I be here exactly?”

“How about around threeish?” Jade asked. “That way you are wide awake and at the top of your game.”

“Sound good to me, once again thank you, Guild Master JC and I’ll see you tomorrow,” RonI says respectfully before following Barb out of the guild.

Jade Cloud stroked his beard while humming with thought. “Hmmm, interesting boy he is and that sword was definitely far from ordinary.”

As he said this, the pearl on his cane briefly glowed a neon green color before stopping.





Back at Golden Oaks Library, we find Twilight and the rest of the Mane 6 are waiting patiently for RonI and Barb to arrive….well most are. Applejack didn’t see why she has to be a part of this after he and his stupid sword was being rude right to her face. Rainbow Dash who had bandages wrapped on her injuries was getting bored and wanted to at least do some running to not be bored since she can’t fly for the next few days.

“Ugh, when is that little varmint gonna get here?” The farmer grouched. “I’d rather be doing more chores than be here.”

“Oh do be patient darling,” Rarity spoke while taking a sip of her tea. “Barbra will be here with RonI soon enough.”

“Yeah! Plus come on Jackie, you gotta admit you’re curious to learn more about him and the world he comes from,” Pinkie chirped happily munching a cookie.

“I am curious to learn what kinds of animals he has in his world as well,” Fluttershy softly spoke up, holding a white bunny in her arms.

“I still say he’s unnatural,” Dash spoke up with an arm hanging from the back of the couch while tapping her foot. “But...maybe it’ll make more sense when he explains things.”

“Glad to see you had time to open your mind Rainbow,” Twilight smiled at her cyan friend while straightening some blank papers.

“Yeah well, he did save my sorry flank,” The speedster admitted begrudgingly. “And maybe I was being unfair after that but I still want to know how he did what he did.”

Fluttershy couldn’t help but smile warmly that her words got through to tomboyish mare but before she could say anything their chat was interrupted by a knock at the front door.

“How could that be?” Twilight muttered before walking towards the door and opening it...only to gasp loudly at the two figures on the other side.

“Hello, my faithful student,” The first one spoke motherly. 

“Would you allow us to step inside?” The second one added regally.

This meeting was about to get a lot more interesting.

Chapter 4: Meeting Royalty and Exchanging Histories 


After meeting with the Harmony for All Guild Master Jade Cloud and setting a time for his initiation of sorts, RonI and Motomeru along with their temporary guide Barbra make their way back to Sugar Cube Corner for a quick bite to eat. Once arriving there they find that Miss Cake had already prepared lunch for them figuring they would stop by again and RonI was surprised that she had a few meat choices as well. The milfy Baker explained that some ponies do eat meat and she does have a few carnivore customers but they mostly come from the guild. 

RonI couldn’t help but smile at the motherly blue mare, thanking her before the pair sat down and dug into their small but filling lunch with gusto.

“Ahhhh, that was delicious,” The teen sighed in content while patting his stomach. “Thank you again for the food, Miss Cake.”

“Your welcome dear, I'm glad you liked it,” The baker giggled softly. “I figured you two would want something to eat before going to your meeting.”

“We appreciate it Miss Cake but we really have to go now,” Barb excuses herself while standing up. “Twilight’s probably having a fit right now because SOMEONE decided to stop for lunch even though I said there would be snacks.” The Dragoness says while casting a glare of annoyance at RonI who waves it.

“And let this amazing food go to waste? You must be crazy,” The young man chuckled before standing up as well. “But she is right, we do need to get going.”

“Oh I won’t keep you dear, I’m actually closing the shop for a few hours to have some girl time so don’t worry about the dishes for now,” Chiffon says while ushering them out of the door before flipping the sign to close and locking the door.

“Hey Chiffon!” a voice called out, causing the four of them to look towards it. RonI spotted a pair of earth pony mares he was familiar with recently.

The first one was the Mayor of Ponyville Ivory Scroll or Mayor Mare as people call her much to her displeasure. She has a light greyish amber coat, grey mane, and tail with a paler grey highlight styled in loose waves with a cowlick, cobalt blue eyes, and stands at a solid 6ft in height with a toned figure and double G-cup bust. Her attire was a white dress shirt under a dark blue overcoat, black office skirt that goes a bit above her knees, black pantyhose, a teal ascot, and black 1in heel dress shoes. Ivory was a good mayor doing everything in her power to keep the residents calm and keep the town moving.

The second mare was a teacher, probably one of the best, at the Ponyville Schoolhouse Miss Cheerilee. She has a moderate cerise coat, light greyish rose mane,  and tail with a paler colored stripe, pale green eyes, standing at 5ft 10in in height with a curvy figure and double F-cup bust. Her attire was a white blouse under a brown buttoned vest, a green floral print skirt that stops just at her knees, and brown slip ons. Cheerilee is a very kind teacher willing to help her students if they have problems with their school work and is very patient with the more rowdy ones.

They were two of the four mares RonI had the pleasantries of meeting on his tour, who didn't look at him with bedroom eyes nor try to get in his pants, which he is thankful for.

“Mayor Ivory? Miss Cheerilee? What are you ladies doing here?” RonI asked, surprised to see the two.

“We are here for girl time with Chiffon,” Cheerilee says. “It’s been a while since we all got together due to being busy with our respective jobs but now we have free time to catch up.”

“Just like old times,” Ivory mused with a smile. “I hope you found the guild alright RonI.”

“We did and it is just our cup of tea,” Motomeru chuckled.

“Ahem,” Barb cleared her throat, tapping her foot impatiently and arms crossed.

“Right, sorry to cut this conversation short ladies but we have to go as we have a prior engagement we need to get to,” RonI says rubbing the back of his head sheepishly not wanting to tick off the dragoness.

“Oh, then you go dear,” Chiffon said hurriedly. “I'll see you later.”

RonI nodded and after giving a few more goodbyes, he followed Barb to the library where the others were waiting. While they walked three figures were watching them from afar and following them from the shadows, trying not to be detected.

‘We are being shadowed,’ Motomeru spoke in her partners mind with amusement.

‘I know,’ RonI thought back before stopping in his tracks. “Let’s have some fun with them, Budōnoki-te.”

Vines suddenly sprang from the ground and envelope his arm and formed a large hand made up of vines before swiftly stretching it over to the three figures and firmly grabbing the trio making them yelp in fright.

“Got ya,” RonI smirked, bringing them over but blinked at who he saw. “Huh?”

“They’re a bunch of kids?” Motomeru says.

Who he grabbed was a trio of mares that each looked to be only fifteen years old, one was a pegasus, one was an earth pony, and the last one was a unicorn. They all stood at 5ft 2in in height each.

The Pegasus had an orange coat a similar shade to Applejack but with a purple mane and tail that was shaggy with a light cowlick, pale purple eyes, she had an athletic figure with petite curves and B-cups. She wore a black tank top with a symbol of a cloud with a tri-colored lightning bolt, camo cargo shorts, black and white sneakers, and had a sweatband on her left wrist the same colors as the bolt. RonI was drawing similarities to Rainbow dash from her that she almost seemed to be related to the cyan mare.

The Earth Pony had a yellow coat, bright red mane and tail, and amber eyes. She was more toned than the pegasus with firmer legs and double D-cups. Her attire was a light green t-shirt under a pair of pale blue overalls and brown cowboy boots and had a big pink bow in her air. Much like the pegasus, RonI was drawing similarities only this time with Applejack having the same southern charm.

Lastly, the Unicorn had an off white coat, pale purple and pink mane and tail that curled inward, and olive green eyes. She wasn’t as toned as the other two but was a little curvier with C-cups. She wore a cute pink dress under an open blue sweater that went to just below her ribs, and pink slip ons. Like the other two RonI got the same feeling but with Rarity but she didn’t hold the same poshness the fashionista had.

“Alright start talking, who are you three and what do you want?” RonI asks lazily.

“I-Im Applebloom,” The Earth pony stuttered with a southern accent.

“Scootaloo,” The pegasus grunted as she struggled against the vines.

“Sweetie B-Belle,” The unicorn squeaked out. “We were just curious about you Mister RonI, please don’t be mad!”

“Hey, partner...didn’t we see these three in the school this morning?” Motomeru speaks up.

“You're right we did,” RonI says while setting the girls down gently and dismissing the vines. “I’m not mad girls just curious as to why you were shadowing me.”

“A very poor job I might add,” Motomeru bluntly stated.

“Hey!” Scootaloo yelled, glaring at the sword.

“Well Sweetie’s sister told her about how you are a good guy, but Applejack warned me about you,” Applebloom explained rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. “So we didn't really know what to do besides following you and hoping you didn’t notice us.”

“That was really not the brightest idea,” Motomeru commented. 

“Well, if you wanna learn more about us and where we come from why not come with us to the library?” RonI suggested with a smile.

“Really?” They asked in unison.

“Sure the more the merrier,” RonI says chuckling, “I'm sure Twilight wouldn’t mind letting you three join the meeting.”

“That's good and all but we have to go!” Barb shouted in annoyance before grabbing RonI’s arms and dragging him along quickly. “We wasted enough time! Twilight must be losing her marbles by now.”

“You heard the Dragoness girls, ONWARD!” RonI exclaimed dramatically.

“YAY!” The trio of fillies cheered before following after the human.





The group was finally able to make it to Golden Oaks Library with no more interruptions, much to Barb’s relief. RonI couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped his lips as the place was an actual house/library built inside the tree.

“We’re here and hopefully the others kept Twilight from losing it,” Barb breathed as she opened the door and walked in.

RonI and the fillies followed after her and once inside the human raised an eyebrow as he noticed two extra mares already inside besides just Twilight and her friends. Both of them were vastly different from the others and they both had a unicorn horn and a pair of wings each.

The first one was defiantly the tallest mare he’s seen so far in this world as she stood at 9ft 7in with an alabaster-white coat, and had a mane and tail that were like northern lights with the colors being pale teal, pale cobalt, pale pink and pale purple the flowed in a nonexistent breeze, and has light magenta eyes. Her body was incredibly curvy with a slight hint of pudge on her belly and she had extremely wide baby-making hips along with a massive plump ass to go with it, making it the biggest ass he’s ever seen in his life as well as having a Q-cup bust. Her attire is a sun-yellow dress that shows so much cleavage RonI swore he saw the smallest hint of her pink alone and around her neck is a golden necklace with a purple diamond-like gem in the center with a matching tiara, bracelets, and shoes. To complete her outfit she had blue ribbon sash handing off her right shoulder which has a medal that looks like a sun pinned on it. She gave a very warm aura like a mother but held a mischeveness side and under that was incredible power like being near the sun and not getting burned.

The second one was shorter but still very tall standing at 8ft 11in with a midnight-blue coat, mane and tail looking like a night sky and flowing like the white mare, teal eyes with like pale blue eyeshadow. She wasn’t as curvy as her counterpart but was a very close second looking more fit and a more modest but still huge double N-cup bust. Her outfit was a navy blue gown that showed absolute cleavage but didn't expose anything that split on the left side of the skirt showing off her leg, she had a small black crown on her head, matching necklace with a white crescent moon on it, silver greaves on her forearms, matching boots and single armor piece on her right shoulder. She held power much like the white mare but colder and she also seems to be a little foreign to the world like she was trying to catch up with it.

“Who the hell are these chicks?” Motomeru asks bluntly, earning a shrug from her partner.

“Ya got me Moto, your guess is as good as mine,” The human replies back to the sword. 

“Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!!” Three fillies and Barb squeaked before bowing awkwardly.

“Wait, these two are the ones that run this joint?!” RonI exclaimed with wide eyes.

“Dude, not gonna lie, I low-key thought they were some sort of strippers Twilight hired or something,” Motomeru hummed.

RonI glanced at his partner/sword with a blank/deadpanned look on his face. “Really?”

“Can you blame me? Look at the way the white one is dressed, she doesn't even have a bra on!” Motomeru exclaimed pointing at the mare in question.

“You try finding a bra to not only handle the weight of boobs that big and be comfortable at the same time, those types of bras are hard to find!” RonI said back. “Besides, they’re the rulers of this place so they can wear whatever the hell they want. Hell, they could probably walk around naked and no one would bat an eye.”

“You have a dirty mind partner,” The sword teased.

“I have you with me 24/7, you think I wouldn’t pick up some things?” The human smirked.

The three fillies looked at the alien pair in confusion not really knowing what they meant while Barb just blushed at the thought of her adoptive mother and aunt being in the buff. The Mane 6 had various reactions from Twilight twitching so much she looked like she was going to explode, Rarity and Fluttershy had bright blushes on their faces, Pinkie and Rainbow were trying their hardest to hold their giggling in, and Applejack didn’t know if she should be outraged or embarrassed at the casual banter the two had about the co-ruling sisters.

Speaking of which…

“Tis grand to know that not all stallions have become so weak-willed in my 1,000-year absence,”  Luna says looking at RonI in amusement.

“He isn’t exactly wrong. I have walked around naked plenty of times in the past,” Celestia giggled. “I just love the feeling of freedom.”

This causes everyone in the room, save for Luna, RonI, and Motomeru, to blush brightly at the thought. The human and sword look at the elder sister and give her a triple thumbs up.

“Nice,” RonI smiles goofily.

“Mad respect points lady,” Motomeru adds with an eye smile.

“ANYWAY!!” Twilight finally exclaimed. “Can we please change the subject to what we are all here for, please?!”

“Sorry Twilight we kind of got caught up there,” RonI chuckled before turning to the princesses and bowing suavely.”It's an honor to finally meet you, your majesties.”

“And it is a pleasure to meet you as well, Ambassador of the Humans,” Luna replies, nodding her head respectfully.

“Wait, Ambassador?” RonI questions.

“Certainly, you come from another world and are the first of your kind to come to Equestria, therefore this makes you an Ambassador,” Celestia explains.

“She has a point partner,” Motomeru whispers, making RonI nod in acceptance.

“Can’t argue with that logic,” He chuckled before a sudden thought occurred. “By the way, why exactly are you here? Not that I’m complaining that is.”

“My faithful student sent me a letter last night of a new sentient creature appearing out of nowhere,” Celestia answers, gesturing to Twilight. “Naturally my sister and I had to see what it was for ourselves.”

“Even if you didn’t appear we still would have come here today anyway as we had detected a powerful but near undetectable magical source coming from the Everfree Forest,” Luna added while looking at RonI up and down. “I take it, that was your doing?”

“Ehhhh, kinda?” RonI shrugs. “I was spat out by a weird portal in the middle of that place but I didn’t cause it just well...happened.”

“Hmmm, that is quite random,” Celestia hummed thoughtfully.

“Lots of random and crazy stuff tends to happen to us,” Motomeru commented. “But this one takes first place.”

“We have no clue what caused it or anyway home,” RonI says, frowning before gaining a hopeful look. “And we’re hoping to find some answers here and a way back.”

“Once you explain how you arrived here we can perhaps gain some idea of what brought you here little one,” Celestia soothes before looking at Twilight. “Shall we begin?”

“Of course Princess,” Her student nodded.

“Before that, why are you three squirts here?” Rainbow asks the three fillies.

“We wanted to learn more about Mister RonI,” Sweetie Belle answers cutely.

“Yeah! Plus he invited us to join you guys anyway so it’s cool!” Scootoloo says.

“Hope ya don’t mind Miss Twilight,” Applebloom smiled.

“I’m alright with it,” Twilight giggled. “RonI, take a seat so we can start.”

Before RonI could respond he was covered in a gold aura, lifted up, and deposited onto the sun Princess’s lap much to everyone’s surprise. RonI however didn’t seem to mind and got comfortable while taking Motomeru off his back and placing her in his lap. Celestia smiled before she wrapped her arms around his stomach gently as her huge boobs rested on top of his head. 

Princess Celestia looked down at the small, compared to her, human. “Comfortable?” she asked with a small smirk.

“Very, this reminds me of when my Mom and I are playing video games,” RonI says.

“I’m warning you now lady, you try anything funny with him I’m chopping off that horn and shoving where the sun doesn’t shine,” Motomeru casually threatened Celestia in a cold emotionless whisper only she could hear. 

This surprised the alicorn a bit, she has never been so casually threatened before let alone by a talking sword. She decided not to say anything now and just focus on the matter at hand with learning more about RonI and the world he comes from, but she will have to keep an eye on this sword.

“Okay so how are we doing this?” RonI spoke up. “We just go around the room and you girls ask me a question and vice versa?”

“That’s the idea, yes,” Twilight answers with a nod. “I figured this would be the easiest way to do things for all of us.”

“Alright then, so who wants to ask me something first?” The humans asked while looking around the room.

“What are the animals from your world like?” Fluttershy spoke up.

“Well the animals are pretty normal where I come from like that little rabbit,” RonI answered while pointing at the said rabbit in her lap. “However we also have some pretty bizarre species of animals as well. For example, we have giant sea turtles with massive islands on their backs that have their own ecosystems and wildlife and sometimes people.”

This greatly surprises the girls that even though they had seen plenty of bizarre creatures themself but never something like that.

“H-Have you met one of them before?” Sweetie Belle asked

“Yeah, in fact...I think I have a picture of it somewhere,” The teen hummed as he reached into an afro and rummaged around before pulling out a picture. “Aha! Here it is, anybody have a way to make it bigger?”

“I have something that can help,” Twilight said before her horn glowed as a screen appeared showing the enlarged picture.

It was an overhead picture and at first, they thought it was nothing but a large island but upon closer inspection, the mares saw that wasn’t the case as it was an island sized sea turtle with the island being its ‘shell’ in a sense. RonI swapped out the picture to put in another, this one is a close up with RonI in only his goggles and a pair of swimming trunks sitting on the head of the giant turtle, the human giving a double peace sign while the turtle had a lax look on its face.

“Holy buck,” Rainbow gawked at the sight of the animal. 

“COOOOOOLLLL!!” The fillies and Pinkie exclaimed with stars in their eyes.

“Amazing, we don’t have any creatures that come close to this one’s size,” Twilight says in amazement.

“Its adorable~” Fluttershy cooed.

“Do these creatures have a name?” Luna asks.

“Its species is called Shima Sheru which translates to Isle Shell in English, they are some of the largest species of turtle on my planet,” RonI explains. “They’ve been around for a long time, probably since the beginning of time according to some scientists but that’s still up in the air. Despite their massive size, they are probably one of the most gentle creatures alive as long as you don’t threaten them or their young.”

“Who in their right mind would try and threaten something of that size?!” Rarity exclaimed, gesturing to the pictures.

“Greedy poachers being one,” Motomeru comments. “These things are priceless from their bones, scales, and even their blood. If you manage to get a good amount of any of those you can sell it for so much money you’d be set for six lifetimes at least.”

“But it’s very hard to kill one of these big guys since the shell underneath the island is incredibly hard and their hides are so thick you need heavy-duty equipment to get through them,” RonI added. “Plus...this isn’t as big as they get. The one you’re seeing is a young one and you can compare it to a teenager with a fully grown adult would be ten times this guy’s size at the very least.”

“Say what?!” Applejack shouted in shock. “Ya tell us that these things get even bigger than that!? It's already so big!”

“We’re not kidding, these turtles can get huge,” Motomeru chuckled at the girls’ reaction. “Some people live on their backs but it's mostly small tribes of people.”

“I became pals with this particular Shima Sheru a couple of months back when I first left home,” RonI said smiling fondly. “But that’s a story for another time and for my question what the heck is a herd? I’ve heard that term at least more than twice since I’ve been here.”

“Oh, well a herd is when a group of mares or other females that are in a relationship with a stallion,” Twilight explained. “They are there to protect the male as well as having a greater chance of conceiving a colt.”

“So basically it's a legalized harem?” Motomeru asked with surprise.

“In a sense yes,” Celestia confirms. “However to form a herd there must be absolute consent with all parties with the best way to form one is through courting and to get into the ones herd you must go through the proper paperwork to show that you’re already in a herd.”

“Or you could do it the most simple way by impregnating the mare that catches your fancy,” Luna butts in, earning a glare from her sister. “What? It's how we did it over a thousand years ago.”

“Well, a pair of mares tried to “persuade” me to form one with them to keep their bed warm,” RonI grumbled, forming air quotes. “I’m a warrior, not a sex toy damn it. I’m too young to be thinking about having kids.”

“Sadly mares these days have gotten too…” Twilight trailed off, trying to find the right word.

“Sex stupid,” Motomeru spoke up bluntly making everyone but RonI looks at her. “All their brainpower seems to go straight between their legs. My partner may be a guy but he has standards.”

“Oh man, my mom and brother constantly bug me about getting a girlfriend and now I'm stuck here where harems are the norm,” RonI sighs in annoyance, pinching the bridge of his nose and slumping against the white alicorn. “Someone asks me another question before I get depressed?”

“What is the gender ratio in your world?” Twilight asks with a quill at the ready.

“Not sure of the exact number but it’s pretty much closer to being 50/50,” RonI answers much to the others' shock.

“....I now see why you think our ways are strange to you,” The purple unicorn mummers.

“My turn, I remember when we all met back in the hospital that Twilight here called you, Miss Jack, an Element of Harmony. Mind telling me what those are about?” RonI asks, looking at the farmer.

It was actually Celestia that answered him. “The Elements of Harmony are six supernatural artifacts representing subjective aspects of harmony that are meant to counteract any form of evil that may threaten Equestria as a whole. On their own, they are able to give the one that represents them extraordinary supernatural abilities as well as boosting their own physical and magical abilities they had prior to using them.”

“That sounds badass,” RonI whistled before looking at the Mane 6. “I’m guessing these girls represent these Elements.”

“Correct in your assumption young one,” Luna nods, while holding Barb in her lap. “My sister and I were the former wielders of Harmony long before Twilight and her friends were even born but due to a....disagreement a thousand years ago they have now been passed on to these six mares before you.”

RonI noticed the tone in her voice when she mentions disagreements as Celestia places a comforting hand on her sister while Barb hugs her a bit. He traded a glance at Motomeru before deciding not to question it, for now at least.

“Soooo...since the redneck apparently represents Honesty what do the rest of you represent?” Motomeru asks, earning a glare from Applejack at being called redneck,

“Call me that again and I swear I’m gonn-MPPF!?” She was silenced by Rarity covering her mouth while fixing her with a small glare while gesturing to the fillies.

“Ignoring Motomeru’s rudeness,” Twilight answers. “I represent the Element of Magic which was once wielded by Princess Celestia herself and yes, Applejack represents Honesty which was wielded by Princess Luna. Fluttershy and Rarity represent Kindness and Generosity respectively, both once wielded by Princess Celestia. Finally, both Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie represent Loyalty and Laughter respectively, both once wielded by Princess Luna.”

“Huh, they all seem to fit each of you girls for the most part,” RonI says thoughtfully before seeing one of the fillies raise her hand. “Yes...Scootaloo right?”

“Yeah,” The orange pegasus confirmed. “How did you grab us with the vines earlier?”

Before RonI could say anything he noticed Rainbow and Applejack giving him death glares. 

“What?” They growled in anger looking ready to kill the short teen.

“Lady Dash and Lady Apple I suggest you calm yourself before I make you,” Luna calmly stated with an edge. “I’m sure Sir RonI can explain himself.”

That shut the two up real fast and it finally dawned on RonI what those two thought he did to the fillies and gave them a disgusted look.

“Okay one, I’m not a pedo and for you two to automatically think that is making me start to lose hope for the both of you,” RonI says while glaring at them and hoping out of Celestia’s lap while Motomeru floats next to him. “Secondly Scootaloo was talking about this, Budōnoki-te.”

Like before, vines and roots shot out from the floor, wrapping around RonI’s left arm and forming a large hand made of the said flora. He then scoops up the trio of fillies making them squeal in surprise before shaking them gently high above the ground, the trio giggling all the while. This causes everyone else, except for Barb and the Princesses, to go wide-eyed and their jaws to drop.

“H-How...w-what?” Applejack stuttered.

“What is this?!” Twilight exclaimed in glee.

“This is my Budōnoki-te technique which translates simply to Vine Hand,” RonI explains while setting the fillies back on the ground. “I can stretch them out to attack or grab things from a distance and I can even increase their size by adding more vines and roots to them.”

“So COOL!” Pinkie shouts in awe with stars in her eyes.

“That’s not all this thing can do, show them the other feature to this bad boy,” Motomeru says.

“Oh right, Toge,” RonI says.

Almost instantly, sharp and pointy thorns began to cover the entire flora hand and arm giving it a more dangerous look.

“While I have Budōnoki-te activated I can use Toge to grow super sharp and pointy thorns to add more damage to my target or targets,” RonI explains before dismissing his technique. “This is just one of the many techniques I’ve created for my arsenal, with or without Motomeru I’m far from defenseless and still considered dangerous.”

“Can everyone do that where you come from?” Applbloom asks.

“Pretty much yeah but there are many forms of abilities and powers that one can harness and use in my world, Element Manipulation like you just witness with my vines being just one of them,” RonI explains. “Like this world, we also have Magic that we can use for all sorts of things for combat and healing. Next, we have Ki which is considered the life force of everything from people, animals, and even things like rocks and trees. Finally, we have something that is called Spirit Energy which is a power that is said to be fueled by your very soul and is very difficult to use let alone master compared to the other three powers.”

He sat back down on the Sun Princess’s lap with Motomeru laying back onto his as the mares were trying to process what he told them.

“I can talk more about them at a later date,” RonI chuckled, breaking them out of their zoned out states. “Does anyone have any more questions they would like to ask?”

What followed was a good hour of asking basic questions back and forth like Rarity asking about fashion trends, Twilight asking about human dietary needs, and Pinkie asking if he can cook and/or bake. RonI answered all of them the best he could with Motomeru helping out from time to time as Celestia and Luna just sat back and listened while adding their input when needed. Rainbow and Applejack stayed relatively silent, reflecting over things due to the information about RonI’s world.

“I have a question, what sort of power sources does your world use?” Rarity asks.

“Well, the main one we used to use were  fossil fuels, which are the remains of animals that have been dead for thousands of years under the Earth’s crust,” RonI explained. “However that was banned worldwide about four thousand and fifty six years ago due to people using them far too much and doing damage to the planet. Luckily we had other options that were much more environmentally safe such as Solar Power, Wind Power, Water Power, Geothermal, as our most recent one being Lunar Power which works the same as Solar Power only the light from the moon is being harnessed.”

“Your kind learned how to harness the moon?” Luna asks in surprise.

“Yeah, it took a lot of trial and error but after a while, we managed to do it thanks to our advanced technology,” RonI shrugs, little did he know he had gained some mad respect points with the Princess of the Moon. “While we’re on the subject, what technology and power sources do you girls use?”

Princess Celestia shrugged. “Well, we use Arcane based fuels and crystal sugar engines laced with arcane powder to power, the crystal sugar engines for vehicles and aircraft, and arcane generators for our cities and homes. They can refuel on their own almost automatically by absorbing the potent magic in the air almost limitlessly.” 

“Seriously? No one in my world has been able to harness magic for fuel systems on that scale yet,” RonI says in amazement. 

Luna nodded. “We have also weaponized it beyond simple spells, from my….return, I have studied the many new advanced weapons that have been created, using enchanted crystals as their energy source. These weapons, called Magiblasters, come in small handheld forms, rapid shooting small rifles called Power Rifles, to sniper variants which are longer and tend to have a scope. They can shoot a magical laser beam or magical plasma, depending on the type of cell used. For example, lightning gems produce a laser when fired and fire gems produce magical plasma when fired.” Luna’s horn lit up with a white glow as holographic magical 3D images of the weapons in question floated into view. “These replaced our older sparkpowder weaponry, which tended to be muzzle-loading musket and cannon, and as far as I know, researchers are beginning to make blades of pure magic which can cut through near anything. However, these are only small knives at the moment as they take a long time to create and gather the necessary materials.”

“Uhhh I hope you don’t plan to pass those out to anybody when you finalize those magic blades,” RonI says wearily, too many bad scenarios playing in his head at the thought of criminals having those kinds of weapons. ‘God forbid if a bunch of murdering psychopaths or the common bandit and street thugs get their hands on weapons like those.’

“Worry not, these weapons will only be given to our most trusted and loyal soldiers that we personally know won’t misuse these weapons,” Luna states surely.

“You have our word as Equestria’s Princesses,” Celestia adds reassuringly while patting the human’s fluffy hair

“Guess I have no choice but to take your words for it,” RonI shrugs. “Any other questions you girls wanna ask me?”

“I have a question I want to ask,” Barb speaks up catching everyone’s attention. “Earlier when we were at the Harmony for All Guild you said you’ve had experience with them because it was part of your job. What kind of job did you have before you ended up here in Equestria?”

All eyes were on RonI as he hops down from Celestia’s lap and stands in the middle of the room, Motomeru floating by his side.

“Okay before I go any further I want you all to ask me as little questions as possible okay? This has a bit of history I have to go into so you all will understand,” RonI says.

Once he sees everyone nod their heads or give voices of agreement, the human takes a breath before beginning his explanation.

“I should explain why there are Adventure Guilds in my world in the first place, see in my world humans aren't the only species living there as we have a variety of races both big in small. For example, we have Elves which are the more human-like species but they have long pointy ears and can live for literal centuries. The next example is Orcs which are tall green-skinned humanoids with tusks are all trained to be warriors with all their problems being solved with either combat or some sort of competitive sport. My final example is Feralins, like the Elves they are the most human-like but they have at least two or more traits of an animal such as cat ears and tail while having the ability to shift back and forth into the said animal they represent. These are just a few of the many races that live on Earth but we’ll be here all day if I have to explain all of them so I’ll save that for another time.”

RonI pauses for a bit letting the information sink into his audience, everyone was listening to him intently while Twilight was swiftly scribbling down notes.

“Naturally the races clashed over one reason or another and in order to end it the wisest of each race came together and the idea for the Adventure Guilds was formed. This was meant for the races to gather and work together to complete various tasks from expeditions in a forgotten underwater temple, defending a small village from bandits, and even escorting people and various goods across the country. The idea was laughed at and considered stupid in the beginning but after a few decades people started to come around to like the idea over time they came together and grew eventually the races became one big melting pot of learning from each other,” RonI explains with a fond smile before it turns into a frown. “However, it wasn’t to last as about eight centuries ago a Mad Sorcerer decided to end that peace by creating the most horrifying yet dangerous abominations known to man, they’re called...The Restless.”

The fillies, Barb, and Fluttershy gained worried looks while the Princesses' faces adopted grim serious expressions. Pinkie and Rarity traded worried looks with one another while Twilight stopped writing to look at RonI in interest.

“Pfffft! The Restless!? What kind of lame name is that?” Rainbow laughed, but she was met with a death glare from RonI and Motomeru. “What? It is lame sounding, couldn’t you guys have come up with a better name for...whatever these things are.”

“Don’t you DARE mock them like they’re a joke!” RonI snarled in pure anger as multi-colored energy was leaking from his body.

This shuts up Rainbow quickly as she and the others look at the human wearily. Applejack however decided to open her mouth.

“Oh please boy, quit being dramatic and just tell us what’s so bad about them. If you’re so scared of them, maybe you should’ve stayed home and stuck with a job that was more appropriate for a male and get out of this little rebellious stage y'all have,” The farmer drawled uncaringly.

Applebloom gasped at her sister's insult before hopping out of her lap and going to sit in Fluttershy’s, not before kicking her sister in the shin of course. RonI meanwhile looked about ready to kill the cow mare as the energy spiked like a raging flame however he took a deep breath and calmed down before he exploded before adopting a blank look on his face.

“I suppose seeing is believing, after all...Moto?” RonI says to his partner.

“Got ya, Gazō,” Motomeru stated before her jeweled eye shined brightly and when it died down a holographic picture appeared to be showing something.

“OH, MY FAUST!!” Fluttershy shrieked.

“That is not natural!” Pinkie screamed while hiding behind an equally spooked Twilight.

“What is that dreadful thing?!”Rarity exclaimed in horror while trying to cover her sister’s eyes but the damage was done. 

The creature shown before them appeared to be a giant manticore the size of a dump truck, although calling it a manticore would be a very gross understatement. For one, its entire body was dead gray in color with its opened maw drooling endless amounts of blood and its eyes were glowing a ghostly white color with an endless stream of blood tears pouring from them. What was worse was the face of people seemed to be pushing from the index of various parts of its body, seemingly trying to escape the abomination. It also appeared to have strange cybernetic enhancement armor on its legs, wings, tail, and midsection.

“That, ladies, is a Restless,” RonI states seriously. “Originally created by a Mad Sourcer whose name has been wiped clean from history, these creatures are the result of ancient forbidden Necromancing Magic and Science. By taking the DNA of a deceased creature, be it from a bone or a corpse, one is able to call back the soul and recreate the body to become fully animated and do the users bidding. However, in order for the creature to function properly as it used to when it was alive, they need a certain number of random souls to be injected into them or they have to kill and eat a living creature and/or person to absorb their soul into their body. The more souls that are consumed the more powerful, smart, and all-around dangerous a Restless becomes. The cybernetic armor was made for them by the Mad Sorcerer to give them more of an edge in battle until they acquired more souls, thankfully the Restless of today don’t have access to that gear anymore due to the Mad Sourcer’s death but they are still deadly as hell.”

That last part caught everyone’s attention as they stared at the human in shock.

“If this Mad Sourcer as you call them is dead, are these Restless creatures still around after so long?” Luna asked, clutching Barb to her body protectively.

“We’re not sure of the total details ourselves but from what we found out the Mad Sorcerer cast something called an ‘End of Time’ spell,” Motomeru explained while dismissing the image. “It’s a curse that is so powerful it supposedly can only be broken when the end of the world happens. The crazy bastard that created the Restless cast that cursed with their dying breath when Adventures and military personnel from all over the world banded together to end the Restless once and for all. That was a little over 800 years ago and unfortunately, those undead freaks keep popping up, thankfully they don’t have that cybernetic armor and are being injected at souls from the get-go but they spawn in very high numbers and in almost any terrain.”

“This particular Restless nearly killed me two years ago when I was resting after a long mission, lacking the cybernetic armor of course. Thankfully Motomeru was able to warn me in time and we were able to take it down together,” RonI adds.

“T-There is no way ya could have taken out something like that,” Applejack stuttered out still in denial.

“You think so?” RonI asks firmly as he shrugged off his jacket before grabbing the end of his shirt. “Then look at this.”

He pulled off his top showing his muscular torso and what mares saw shocked them to the core. It was a large scar, almost like a circle in the center of his stomach and when he turned around there was an identical one on his back. It looked as if someone had punched a hole through his body. Numerous smaller scars littered his body as well but they didn't stand out as much as the big ones. 

"You wanna know how I got these scars? It's because I got cocky and arrogant and I paid the price with getting skewered by that bastard's tail," RonI speaks grimly pointing to the large one. "This humbled me and showed that I wasn't invincible so after I recovered, I worked my ass off to make sure I or anyone would end up like that ever again."

This made Applejack reel back at what he has been through.

“I was lucky I didn't lose anything important, I'm lucky that the stinger missed my spine,” RonI states before glaring at the farm mare. “So Applejack, still think I'm having a rebellious stage?” 

The farm mare stayed quiet, it was all she could do as she had no sort of comeback after seeing the scars permanently etched into the short teen’s body. RonI snorted before putting his shirt and jacket back on with Motomeru strapping back onto his back, he was too annoyed to sit right now and needed to stand.

“That’s what I thought, next time you wanna say something stupid you should keep your mouth shut,” RonI says while glaring at the farmer.

“Or don’t and give me more of a reason to cut yo redneck ass up,” Motomeru sassily remarks.

RonI rolls his eyes at his partner’s words before looking at the three still scared-looking fillies and gives a reassuring smile. “I’m sorry you three had to see that but I’ll make it up to you, remember when I said I could do much more besides using vines?”

The fillies look at each other before looking back at RonI and nod in confirmation.

“Well, how would you like to see me and Motomeru in action when we go in for our personal ranking test?” He asked with a smirk.

“What’s that mean?” Sweetie Belle asks.

“It basically means they are going to test my skills and strength to see what rank of an Adventurer I am,” RonI explained. “I have to duke it out with a more experienced member of the guild so I can be given my Personal Rank is rated E, D, C, B, A, and S with E being the lowest and S being the highest. The higher your Rank the tougher and more dangerous missions you’ll be allowed to take and earn even more rewards from it.”

“Normally you’d have to work your way up the old fashion way and work a certain number of low ranking quests in order to rank up especially when you’re first starting out,” Motomeru adds in. “However you can take the Personal Ranking test with the permission of a Guild Master in order to rank up faster. Again you’ll have to complete a certain number of quests in order to request for such a test.”

“Since I have prior experience to guild work back in my world, Master JC will let me do that test,” RonI finished. “I have no idea who I’m fighting but according to Master JC they’re experienced.”

“That sounds awesome! I so wanna see this!” Scootaloo cheers.

“Same here!” Applebloom added with Sweetie Belle nodding excitedly.

“Absolutely not! You three still have school tomorrow and you’re not missing it to go and watch a brawl,” Rarity said firmly. “No offense of course RonI.”

“None took,” The teen waves off. “Sorry girls but having an education is important, maybe next time when you’re out of classes.”

“Awwwww~” The trio groaned in disappointment. This made RonI chuckle as he ruffled their manes.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you girls get to see something awesome,” The teen says reassuringly before looking at the Princesses and Twilight. “That should be enough for today don’t you think?”

“Yes, we have a general understanding of you and your world RonI,” Twilight says as she puts away her notes. “Thank you for sharing with us all about your world.”

“Yes it has been very informative,” Celestia adds standing up with her sister following her movement. “However my sister and I must return to the capital and continue our royal duties.”

“I wish we could see you take your trial of combat young RonI but perhaps another time,” Luna says with a slight bow of her head. “But before we leave we need to perform a magical scan of you.”

“Uh, may I ask why?” RonI asks wearily.

“The portal that brought you here may have left some form of lingering transdimensional energy on you, with it we can possibly find out who or what brought you here and trace it back to your world to send you home,” Celestia explains.

“Oh! Well in that case...I guess go ahead,” RonI says holding his arms out.

He was soon covered in a mix of gold and dark blue aura from head to toe and before long, the aura faded as the Princesses nodded.

“Good, there’s still some trace amounts of that energy on you, it's faint but it should be enough for us to find the source,” Luna says. “However due to how very little the amount of energy there is it will take weeks possibly a little over two months to be able and track the source

“That sucks but it’s definitely better than nothing,” Motomeru snarked.

“Thank you again for your help and it was an honor to meet you, your majesties,” RonI bowed in respect. “I hope we see each other again.”

The Princesses nodded with smiles before their horns glowed with bright yellow and dark blue aura respectively before vanishing in a flash of light.

“Well this has been an eventful evening but I must be going, I have a lot of orders I have to get done tomorrow,” Rarity says as she gets up and heads towards the door. “Come along Sweetie.”

“Coming sis! See you later girls, bye Mister RonI and Miss Motomeru!” the white filly chirped as she followed her sister out.

“I have to get going too or my aunts will get worried,” Scootaloo says as she gets off Rainbow’s lap and stretching. “You better show us some awesome kick-flank action as you promised later Mister RonI.”

“I swear it on my awesome afro,” RonI says pointing to his fluffy hairdo.

The pegasus nods before racing out with Fluttershy, Applebloom, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash following after her while giving goodbyes to Twilight and Barb. Rainbow, however, paused for a moment to look at RonI dead in the eyes before giving a small nod and closing the door behind her as she walked out.

“What was that about?” Motomeru asked.

“No idea, but at least she was much better to be around than yesterday,” RonI shrugs before looking at Pinkie. “Shall we head back to Sugar Cube Corner together Miss Pie?”

“Okie Dokie Lokie!” The pink mare giggled as the pair headed off back to the bakery while waving goodbye to Twilight and Barb.

Once the door closed Twilight sighed before bringing out all of her notes and reviewing them. “RonI is much more different from us than I thought as well as the world he’s from.”

“No kidding, especially with everyone in his world having to deal with those Restless monsters,” Barb shudders in fear. “I really do hope none of those things followed RonI from his world into ours.”

“Relax Barbara, as far as we know RonI and Motomeru were the only things that came out of that portal,” Twilight calms her assistant/sister with a hug. “Besides even if one did manage to come through, we have Princess Celestia and Luna, The Elements of Harmony, and RonI to destroy it.”

Barb sighed in relief before hugging her sister back, “I know I just...I think I can live my entire life without having to actually see one of those monsters.”

“I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t want to see one of them either...despite having a small urge to research them,” Twilight chuckles before Barb gives her a deadpanned look before sighing tiredly.

“...Faust damnit Twi.” 





It was the dead of night, Luna’s moon had risen into the sky hours ago and most ponies have gone to bed at this point. However, a cloaked individual was seen walking down the streets of the empty quiet town, their footsteps making little to no sound at all. It wasn’t long before the figure came to the doors of the Harmony for All guild and opened them with a soft creek before stepping inside, closing the door as soft as they could.

“Ah, back from your mission I see?”

The cloaked individual turned to the source of the jolly voice to find Guild Master Jade Cloud behind the bar of the dimly lit hall. The only others that appeared to be awake were a few Thestrals but they were chatting with each other and paid the cloaked figure no mind as they walked to the bar and sat down in front of the Master.

“I take it your job went off without a hitch?” Jade Cloud asked with a smirk, already knowing the answer.

The cloaked individual nodded once.

“Good, well I hope you get some rest as I have another assignment for you to do for me,” Jade Cloud states while passing a glass of Apple Cider.

The cloaked individual tilted their head to the side in question making the elder pegasus chuckle a little.

“Don’t worry it's something simple, I need you to duke it out with a new member for a Personal Ranking test tomorrow afternoon. I will say this though, your opponent is no run of the mill Adventurer,” Jade Cloud stated while lighting a pipe and smoking it briefly before speaking again. “The best part is he’s not from Equestria or Equis at all from a different world entirely from what I know, you’ll have to be on your guard when facing him. Not even I know what kind of surprises this young lad will throw at you.”

The cloaked figure looked interested before then chugging down the hard cider in one gulp and giving a small belch. They then silently bow their head in respect before standing up and heading for the door.

“One thing you should know kiddo,” The Master calls out, stopping the figure in their tracks. “The weapon he has isn’t hollow and has a good relationship with him, I suggest you bring your A-Game when facing them.”

The cloaked figure looked back to face Jade Cloud, their strong cyan eyes shining in the darkness twinkling with interest before nodding and then leaving the guild.
