> The Climbing Human > by Shark > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 Where am I > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK so how do I explain this well, it was the middle of the night and I was going to my room to sleep I told all my family good night. I usually sleep early, when I went to my bed lay down and passed out right there. Not thinking about anything. I had a strange dream. I don’t remember much but all I remember is six ghost, it was blurry, to me it looks like a ghost but they were blurry all right, and then they started glowing, they glow so bright and it remind you like when you were little you point the flashlight towards your eyes. Everything was white and then I woke up. It was daytime, somehow I’m outside, I’m not on my bed, not at my house just outside laying down on a field full of grass. I jerked up, sit up and said the most normal thing in this situation. “HOW THE HELL DID I GET HERE!” I stand up, looked around to see any landmarks that could be familiar. There was nothing. Just An open field of nature, i’m still questioning how did I end up outside, more specific how did I end up here. Then suddenly I hear someone talking, in my mind I was like, great there could be someone that can help me explain where am I, but I’m the other mind, wait are those the people who kidnapped me and brought me here. So I investigate, I followed the voices but still moving quietly for they won’t hear me, when I got to the voice, I was shocked, it was a Horse, no a pony, it was talking like a human, wait a minute, I squinted my eyes trying to see what the pony looks like, and I was surprised. The pony has human features, the eyes look human, have more movement than an actual pony, and it looks like you brought a League of Legends character to life. I was shocked, did I somehow entered into a fantasy world. My mind went back on the pony. The pony started to walk, she said something about something Ponyville. So I started following the pony but still moving quietly for she won’t notice me. When the pony left the forest, I stop and saw the village, this must be Ponyville, a strange name to give a town. I almost walked in the open, until I noticed the villagers, they were all pony, well I see a Pegasus and a unicorn and. “Is that a freaking dragon. THEY HAVE DRAGONS!” I shouted by accident by the excitement of seeing a fantasy, mythical, creature. My nerd side is geeking out right now. But back to the topic, after the excitement I realize that everyone in that village was just that. I don’t see goblins, i don’t see Warriors, I don’t see cat people, come to think of it I’m not seeing anyone who can walk with two legs, except the dragon some of them Are walking with two legs. I heard someone Else mentions about other towns also mention the other ponies living there. I was shocked surprised I am in a world filled with ponies. “Ah, now I know how Brent feels from the movie planet of the apes.” I looked around more in the village and more and more I look, the more I feel different, I always been alone even with big crowds, in high school I always sit alone, I mostly keep things to myself, but here I feel lost and alone. If I go towards the village then everyone would be terrified of me, they never seen a human before, so I decided to live in the forest, it’s gonna suck. A couple hours have pass and the sun started to set. I need to find a place to sleep. I stood still when I heard a wolf howl, that’s it I’m sleeping on the trees to night, I searched around the forest to find the right tree to sleep on. Until I found it, a large, thick tree big enough for I won’t slip off or fell off. I climb on the tree, and found the right position to sleep in. But I can’t stop thinking about my problem now, em I going to sleep on the forest for the rest of my life now, and what happened to my family, and why I’m here. So many questions but no answer. I slowly went to sleep. That dream came back but this time, the blurry ghost started to be clear but still blurry, I still don’t know what my dream means, but like before I woke up. It was morning but this time, there was a blanket wrapped around me, I was shock, “Did, did I have a blanket with me before, no I haven’t. Did someone gave me a blanket while I was sleeping.” I was curious who was the person who gave me the blanket. I turned my head and notice a green jacket hanging on a branch. It’s not just a jacket, it was my jacket from back home. “How did it get here, did someone brought me this too?” I put on my jacket and before I jumped off the tree, I look at the other trees. The branches looks like a jungle gym. I stayed on the tree, and began running, jumping on trees to trees like a monkey, climbing on big trees and swinging to other trees. While I was climbing and swinging around the trees, I feel like someone is watching me, I stop and looked around to see anyone is watching, but I don’t see anyone. The forest was thick, the branches and roots were blocking the area so I can’t see anyone, maybe it’s just my imagination playing tricks on me, so I climb and swinging away but someone was watching me but i didn’t noticed because that person was hiding. It was a hooded pony. “A strange creature, mmm, must keep an eye on this one.” Back home I climb around the house but in the forest there so many ideas for climbing. I was having fun, enjoying the excitement and thrill. I landed on a thick branch, on the edge of the forest. With my green jacket I blend in by the color of the forest. I looked towards at Ponyville seeing everyone leaving there homes to head to work, even seeing smaller ponies going to school. I want to get close but I don’t have a disguise, until I remember something, the blanket it’s long enough to be use as a cloak. It can cover my body. I pulled the blanket and tied the two ends around my neck like a cape but still wearing the hood over my head. My heart is moving really fast, I’m nervous but luckily my hoodie is long enough to cover my face and, I’m the same height as a two leg walking dragon, but maybe for good measure I should bend my legs just to be a little small. I jump off the tree landing on the ground and began walking towards Ponyville. I try walking in the areas where there’s not a lot of people. I was walking for 10 minutes and saw a big building. Must be town hall, I realized more ponies started coming out there houses. I climbed the town hall building, seeing the entire town, I looked around the town seeing everyone except this time I'm close enough to see what they're doing. Everything was going well until I heard someone mentions, food. My stomach started growling. “Yup, I’m hungry, I would like go for some some bacon and eggs.” But I realized I’m in a world of ponies I don’t think they have meat, maybe the dragons eat meat. I saw a dragon he said he’s hungry. In my head I was like perfect all I need to do is follow them and take there kill, but I was disappointed to see a dragon eating a Crystal like a candy. “Ok so maybe dragons here mostly eat Crystal, ah shit.” I looked around to any food and realized that there food is very similar to human food, did I say similar I mean the same. I don’t like it but it looks like I have to steal, after playing many games about sneaking around, I think I can do it. All I know people can be distracted very easily. Before I was about to throw a rock, I heard one of the shop owner said she’s going to the bathroom. In my mind I have two things one of them is like “AH THANKS GOD!” And the other is “OH COME ON, I HAD A PERFECT PLAN!” I climb down sneaking towards the shop and took as many food I can carry, I turned around ready to escape until I noticed a little pony kid was looking at me. I was shocked my eyes were wide open, I have no idea what to do. The little filly said “what you doing with all that food?” I look at the food I was carrying, I put the food on a table and took one. And two. Maybe three. Ok four. The little filly was still looking at me, so I did the most reasonable thing, I made a Jojo reference, I NIGERUNDAYO out of there. I ran and started to climbing out of there. The little filly was confuse. “What just happened?” I ran to the other side of town and saw a tree. I climb on a tree and sit down, I looked at the food I have, one apple, one bread, one cupcake and a sandwich. I grabbed the sandwich first, and before I took the first bite, I check what’s inside the sandwich. There’s nothing but just a flower between two breads. “Well can’t eat that.” I threw the sandwich away and just ate the cupcake instead, while eating I heard someone mention something about a Princess, after I finishing the my breakfast. I climb the tree higher to see the view. I saw the same ponies that mention about Princess and they went to the castle. “Princess, I guess this world is run by a monarch.” I was about to leave until I hear something about tea, and I am thirsty. "TO THE CASTLE!" “This could be the mostly stupidest thing I have ever did. But I’m bloody thirsty, TO THE CASTLE!” I jump off the tree and began running behind the castle. To be honest this castle is huge, I mean I know it’s a castle and castle are huge but this entire castle is made out of crystals. “Mmm neat.” So I began to climbing, I climbed buildings before but mostly, my house, my cousins house and my other families house but, never a skyscraper like castle, one mistake I could fall down and die, there goes the last human, so I have to be very careful. Lucky for me the castle was not that hard to climb there are so many things to grip on it’s like a climbing gym. I made it to the window I slowly open the window try not to make any noise, I climb The architecture inside the castle. I spotted the pot of tea and its fresh, I began climbing down. I was still surprised to see a Crystal castle, but I have no time looking at the castle, I came here to get one thing, the tea. I grab the tea pot and it’s filled with hot water, I can see the tea leaves, I’m going to enjoy this. I head to the window but I stop I still hear the ponies talking to each other, but they mention something strange happened. I got a little close to the voices but still hiding, the purple pony said something that could be something related to me. “Look something strange is happening, the map has been going off lately but it always lead us here in Ponyville, not only that someone told me there’s was a magic in the everyfree forest, so something is happening.” I turn my head to the map, I got close to the map it was the entire land and that purple pony was right. The map was glowing here in ponyville. I looked at the chairs and see the strange symbols they almost look like the ones in my dream but it’s not blurry. I started to have a vision. It was my dream but this time the blurry ghost are clear it’s the same symbols from the chairs. So this thing brought me here why, why em I here. The vision stop and my mind is still questioning everything. Until I heard one of the voices. “Twilight who’s that?” I turn around looking at a little dragon. “Spike what’s wron . Who are you and what you doing in my castle.” The map started to glowing brighter but I just ran out the window, I was running towards the forest, I stop and looked back at the pony, and continued running in the forest. “ah, that was stupid Ulysses, very stupid, why, why did I do that, for tea I like tea but, I almost got caught. Now that purple pony is going to go after me now. But what’s with the map, did the map brought me here, or something else. Ah I don’t know what to do.” “Maybe I could help you.” I got scared someone was here I turn my head and I saw another pony except this pony was covered in a thick hood. She took off her hood, showing her face it was a zebra. “Don’t be alarmed my friend. I’m not here to harm you, but instead here to help you.” “Were you the one who gave me the blanket.” “Yes I have, I saw you sleeping close by my home, you were shaking it was freezing at night.” “Did you also brought my jacket.” “Forgive me but I did not.” “You look tired come with me I have plenty of food for both of us.” "Your not going to kidnapped me, are you." "Why would I do that. Its your decision. If you want to come with me or stay." Looking at the zebra I know that she isn't afraid of me. She could help me, and plus I don't want to sleep outside again, so I agreed to go with her. “Ah, thanks by the way, what’s your name anyways.” “My name is Zecora, and you must be Ulysses.” "How did you know my name?" “I heard you talking to yourself. You mentioned your name.” “Oh yeah.” (nervous chuckle) “Have no fear my friend, you are safe.” “Hey Zecora do you live in that town.” “You mean Ponyville.” “Ponyvile yes.” “No, I do not. I make potions, and the ingredients are here in the forest.” “Potions. Is there an enchanted potion.” “Yes.” “Invisible potions.” “Yes.” “Lava resistant.” “Still a work in progress but yes.” “No way it’s real, every fantasy thing is real.” “You’re not from this world aren’t you.” “No, I’m not, by the way where am I, this world.” “Your in Equestria, and have no fear my friend, I will ask twilight to help us.” “Mmm, twilight, Is she a purple pony.” “She an alicorn but yes.” (Laughs nervously) “OH. I think we should find someone els-“ “You don’t need to pretend I saw everything, you broke inside twilight castle, try to take something but you found something else instead.” “Yeah sorry about that.” “It’s OK my friend, but promise me you will never do that to someone else’s home.” Me and Zecora made it to her home, to be honest it almost look like Yoda hut from the Empire Strikes back. When we went inside I was shocked how big the house is. Zecora showed me the guess room. “Yup this place is big alright.” “Tomorrow, we go to Twilight castle, she will help you, but now rest.” “Thanks Zecora.” “Your welcome Ulysses, good night my friend.” “Good night Zecora.” So stuck in a world called Equestria, and this twilight knows what to do. I hope she have the answers. I hope my family are ok. Well looks like my adventure just got started. > Chapter 2 The Meet > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “You are just a puppet, and not the only one who entered this worlds.” I woke up instant, trying to figure out what did I dream about. In that dream I heard an unfamiliar voice, don’t know why but it feels like something is happening but don’t know what. I got out of bed, I looked around to see if I’m back home but I’m still in Equestria. I started walking to the, I think the main room or the living room either one. I see Zecora cooking breakfast, I notice she was cooking eggs with toast bread. I guess there are something from other worlds that don’t change. After finishing breakfast we’re ready to head to twilight castle, and I’m very worried what’s gonna happen. “Is something bothering you my friend?” “Oh, sorry, it’s just there’s a lot of things happening right now. More than just See twilight.” “Like what?” “Ever since I came to this world, I started having strange dreams. At first the two were 6 symbols, like the ones in Twilight castle.” “The elements.” “After that, last night my dream was something. I keep seeing shadows of other humans, and all of them have very similar stories, they all met twilight, then heard a voice, saying I’m like a puppet and not the only one who entered this worlds.” Zecora stopped, surprise what I’m saying. “Worlds?” “Has Twilight met other humans before.” “I’m sorry my friend, but we never seen humans before, just you.” “What did that voice mean by worlds.” “I’m not sure, this is something else.” We continued off to Twilight castle, when we made it to the edge of the forest, I stopped, still nervous, nervous no, I’m terrified, and plus I don’t like people staring at me, it makes me paranoid. “Don’t worry Ulysses, this people are nice, trust me. “I hope so.” We entered in Ponyville and like I first thought, everyone started looking at me. Thank god I’m wearing my hoodie and blanket around me like a cloak. Everyone was doing the same face like, who’s that, his he a threat, what is he. “I don’t like this.” “Don’t worry, we’re almost there” After 15 minutes of walking in the open, we finally made it to Twilight castle. Zecora knock the door and we waited. After couple minutes, the door finally opened. Twilight looked outside and was happy to see Zecora. “Zecora, hi, it’s good to see you again.” “Hello Twilight, It is good to see you again. “So what can I help you for today.” “You see, I met someone who is lost and I hope you can help him.” “Sure, I can help him, where is he.” “He’s right he. Ulysses? That’s odd he was just here a moment ago.” “Ah, I’m up here.” The two ponies looked up seeing me on top of the door. “Wow, Impressive, you move very quietly, I didn’t notice you left.” I jumped down finally seeing twilight again. Oh god I’m terrified, because twilight immediately noticed who em I. “I know who you are, Your the person who sneak into my castle.” I em nervous, scared and frozen, the only words I can said is. “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.” Like a sound when someone hang up the phone. Twilight was so confused. I stood there saying the same thing. Zecora put her hoove on my mouth for me to stop, and told twilight everyone. After 10 minutes of explaining, twilight understands now. She was shock to see a human and hearing everything that happened. After that, all three of us went inside the castle, and the map, like before start a glowing brighter every time I get closer. “So, why the map is glowing brighter if I get closer to it.” “I’m not sure to be honest, but now at least we know why the map is glowing, because of you.” “But why?” “Maybe because of your dreams, they must have a connection.” “Zecora, that’s a great point. I must send A letter to princess Celestia, maybe she could help us out with this. “Wait, princess Celestia, I thought you were the princess.” “I am the princess of friendship, princess Celestia is the princess of the sun. well she’s the ruler of a Equestria, her and her sister princess Luna.” “OK. I’m sorry did you just say you’re the princess of friendship.” “It’s a long story to explain but yes I am.” “Let me guess, nine seasons, multiple specials, one movie, One comic adaptation, one crossover, one live action commercial, and one generation 4.5 that no one wants to talk about.” “What.” “I’m sorry ever since I woke up this morning starting to seeing visions of things I didn’t know about, it’s like Desmond from Assassins Creed.” “Wat.” “Never mind.” “Well I guess my job here is done.” “Wait Zecora, where are you going.” “Forgive me my friend but, this is all I can do, I don’t have magic like twilight and I know she can help you.” “Thanks Zecora, oh before you go, here you can have your blanket back.” “No, that’s ok you should keep it, you need it more than I do.” “Thanks Zecora.” Zecora left, back to the forest, I know this isn’t going to be the last time I’m seeing her. I’m glad she helped me. I should visit her sometime. But now, with twilight she can explain everything to me now, and if The two princesses agreed to help me, I can get back home sooner or later. “Twilight what are you doing with that tape measure?” “Doing research, I mean I never seen a human before, so why not take the time to do it.” “Wo wo wo, ok you don’t need to do that, if you want to measure me, just ask me, cause I’m not a test subject.” “Twilight got excited and sat down on her chair.” “Wait aren’t you going to send a letter to the princess.” “Ah, later.” Twilight was looking at me like an excited puppy waiting for it snack. I am immediately realize she is the Science type. “Well I’m 5 foot 9, wait how do you guys measure.” “We mostly use centimeters.” “Of course the other worlds don’t even use the imperial system.” “Ok, I’m 175 cm tall.” OK there’s a lot of things that Twilight asked that is just too long to put in just one story, so I’m just gonna skip this over. Twilight send a message to princess Celestia and Princess Luna about my situation, while twilight was doing that I met her a little brother well her little assistant, spike. He was scared at first but then I explain everything what’s happening, then me and him were talking. He explaining the story than twilight mentioned except in a short way. “How is Ponyville still standing.” “They got used to it.” Twilight finally got her letter from the princess. The letter said that she would like to meet this human and see what they can do to help. Twilight was excited again, she ran towards me and spike, explaining everything what the letter says. She did told me we have to go to Canterlot, in person. I stood up in fear. “Twilight we can’t do that! I’m human they never seen me before, what happens if I made one mistake, they would think of me as a threat.” I started to panic, twilight asking what’s going on, I explain to her. I’m not a people person, I always been alone, I’m always been paranoid around people. Like you put your wallet in your back pocket but someone is behind and watching you. Twilight told me that’s ok, everyone get worried sometimes, twilight said she has a friend who is very shy when she met her, twilight and her friends help her, now she’s open to others. Hearing that, now I know why she’s the princess of friendship. It took me awhile but I can’t believe we’re doing this. Still wearing my hoodie and cloak, I need to get used to this. When we made it to the train station, we need to wait for the train to get here. Me and spike sat down on the bench, while wait I still see more people looking at me. My hoodie was still covering my face, all you see are my eye. I notice a little pony kid starting to cry. I turned my head to see the kid, she was crying because of her favorite ball got stuck on a tree. I got up and walked towards the little pony. The little kid took a step back when she saw me. I Look at the tree, the tree was a big and tall, the branches were spread out making anyone with wings hard, and I see the ball. “I’ll get your ball back kid.” I began to run at the tree, jumping when my foot touch the tree, boosting me up higher, I grab a branch ,and began to climb towards the ball. While climbing, more and more people started to see what I’m doing. Spike ran to see too then twilight joins him, she was shocked to see me climb, she knows I can climb, but never seen it in person. One of the people ask the kid what he doing. All she said was. “He’s getting my ball.” When I made it to the ball, I grabbed it and began to climb back down. I jump off the tree and landing on the ground. I walked back towards the kid and give her ball back. The kid was happy to have it back. She looked at me and said thank you. I replied, your welcome. She ran off to play with her ball. Everyone was still looking at me, but this time there faces doesn’t said fear but instead glad. I walked back towards twilight and spike. She and Spike were looking at with a big smile. They started asking questions like, how did You learn to climb, or can you teach me, or can humans in your world do that. You know asking more questions. When the train arrived we head inside, sat down and enjoy the ride to Canterlot. I was surprised that ponies found a way to make a train, by the model of the train it does look like an 18th century model. If this world does take place in the 18th century, then that explains why no one gets the references or that or it only my world. I try not to think to much about it. So went to sleep, my dream was different, it was all black then light started to look like a sunrise. The light revealed thousands of crystal ball show other humans inside them, all every different but similar. I notice some of them have a green face, and others just having normal faces. I don’t know why some of them have green faces, it’s like they don’t want to reveal themselves, they want to be anonymous. Then I noticed something, some of the Crystal balls are showing thing that are impossible, space ships, crossovers, giant monster, crazy tyrants, Humans turning into ponies. It’s like an entire library of different what if’s. I walked around more and more I see more of those Crystal balls. I heard a tig and another and another. I looked up and see stars to appear, the Crystal balls started rising off the ground, and started spinning. Now all of the Crystal balls were in the air and spinning. Many different colors of aura started to appear around the balls. I turned around seeing a bright light blinding me, and all I hear is the same voice again. “Your mind is weak, even if you found me, you’ll already be too late.” I woke up instantly, I looked around to see where I was, I’m still in the train. What was that dream, and who was talking to me. Twilight ran to me asking me. Asking me if I’m ok, I told her I was. She also told me that we’re arriving in Canterlot. I got up waiting for the train to stop, but my mind is still thinking about that dream, also who was talking to me. Maybe princess Celestia could help me out with this. Whatever is happening, I have no idea where this is taking me. > Chapter 3 Royal > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Your mind is weak, even if you found me, you’ll already be too late.” That’s what I heard, the same voice. I don’t know who it is, but I want to find out and princess Celestia has the answers for me. My mind came back to Reality when the train finally stop. Twilight told me to get ready, when we left the train, I was amazed by the tall and Fantasy like buildings. Yup, you ponies still surprise me. Twilight told me to follow her to princess Celestia castle. While walking, I still see more people looking at me, you know I’m starting to get used to it. Im still looking around the area seeing the buildings, twilight ask me if I like the buildings. I told her they look amazing and looked possible to climb. Twilight looked at me wondering if it’s possible, I told her it is. “You see many people think it’s the hands and arms, but there for gripping and holding on to something, it’s the legs that do the work.” Spike looked at me questioning what I’m saying. “You see the legs boost you up, when I was little I thought it was the arms more important, they are, but it’s the legs that help you out the most.” Twilight and spike were amazed to hear that. After 15 minutes of walking we made it to the castle, and my god, this got to be the biggest castle I have have ever seen, And what makes this even more surprising that this giant castle is on top of a giant mountain. After looking at the castle, the two royal guards open the door for twilight and spike, but when I try to walk towards the entrance, they blocked the path with there spears. “State your business.” Said the royal guard, they looked at me like I’m suspicious. Can’t blame them I’m literally wearing A hoodie covering my face and a blanket like cloak around my body. There just doing there job. Twilight told the royal guards that I’m not a threat but a guest. The guards lowered there spears, allowing me to go inside. I never saw a royal palace before, but I hear stories about it. If this castle is huge, then there are many rooms in this castle. I could get lost in the castle if twilight wasn’t here. We made it to the door, that leads to the throne room. Before we entered, twilight told me I have to be respectful towards the princess. I know she’s royalty and she’s the ruler of a Equestria, If I said something so insulting in there, my ass would be going to jail. “Don’t worry Twilight everything will be fine.” Twilight, spike and I opened the door to the throne room. Looking around the throne, it was big, I guess pony like things big. Princess Celestia greeted Twilight and Spike, while I’m just focusing on the architecture, and not focusing on anything else. Twilight knows I wasn’t paying attention, she tap my shoulder to focus on the Princess. My eyes widen like a dinner plate. I looked at twilight and looked back at Princess Celestia. “Forgive me what I’m about to say but, YOUR NOT A PONY, YOUR A GIANT FRICKEN HORSE!” Twilight face went from fear and shocked at the exact same time. Spike has no words. “I THOUGHT ALICORNS ARE THE SAME HEIGHT AS NORMAL PONY, I DIDN’T KNOW THEY CAN GROW THAT BIG!” “TWILIGHT, YOUR NOT FULL GROWN, YOUR GONNA BE THE SAME HEIGHT AS HER IS, NO WONDER THEY CALL HER THIC, SHE’S MASSIVE!” “THATS ENOUGH!” I heard someone else yelling, at first thought it was princess Celestia, but I was looking at her the entire time, she didn’t say anything. I looked up and saw the other Princess Princess Luna, and she is pissed. “OH SNAP A BLUE ONE, WHO IS BIG BUT ALSO SMALLER!” “What?” Princess Celestia chuckled but trying to hold in her laughter. Luna looked at her sister, she thought her sister was about to laugh. “HOW DARE YOU, ENTER IN OUR HOME AND INSULT US.” “Forgive me mighty blue one, I didn’t mean to insult you and your sister, it’s just a lot of things were happening to me right now, I’ve been seeing dreams strange and unexpected things. Twilight will explain everything to you, about my situation.” Twilight walked forward and told everyone what’s happening, I’m from a different world, the map going off, my strange dreams, all the references I’ve been saying, why I’m here and how do I get back home. The two Princesses looked at each other, and looked at me. Princess Celestia told me to remove my hood. I was hesitant for a bit, but I made it this far. I removed my hood showing my face towards the two Princesses. There were surprised, Celestia walked towards me, she realized something. “How old are you?” She ask me like a concern mother, so I told her. “I’m 19.” “Your couple years Younger than Twilight. I don’t know why the elements brought you here, but we will find away get you back home.” “Thank you princess.” Celestia looked at Luna, she knows what to do. She walked towards me, telling me. “I will check on your dreams when you sleep. To see if there’s any problems.” “Thank you princes-.” I stopped and realized what she said. “I’m sorry but did you, just say you can enter in dreams.” “Yes I can.” “Nope, Not doing it.” “Wait what.” Everyone was surprised of what I said. Twilight ask what’s wrong. I just told her, that’s terrifying, it reminds me of someone. Everyone was questioning who was the person I was talking about. “He’s a fictional character of a horror movie, his name is Freddy Krueger, and that is terrifying if someone can kill you in your dreams.” “Wait, I can do that?” “LUNA!” Twilight told me more about Luna’s ability. After hearing more that, I calm down and took time to think about it. If Luna goes in my dream, she can find what’s going on in there. She could possibly find the person who was talking to me. This could be lead me back home. I turned around looking at everyone ready to do it. “Screw it, we’re doing it.” When we were waiting for the night to come, I took time to talk to the royal Sisters. They told me more about Equestria and in return, I told them about my world. Although I didn’t tell them we eat meat. I didn’t tell them because I don’t want to be called a cannibal. After that the three Princesses took me around the castle for me to understand them. They even took me lunch with them, well Celestia mostly eat cake, and trust me this ponies knows how to make a cake. After all of that the night have arrived and we’re ready for the dream. They took me to a bedroom where I can sleep. I was alone in the room, took off the blanket cloak and my jacket. I walked towards the window looking at the view of city and landscape. I jumped on the window and started climbing up towards the highest point of the castle. More and more I climb i can see the curve of the earth. When I made it to the top, I looked around the landscape, even seeing Ponyville far from here. After looking at the view, I wonder how’s my family is doing, there probably worried about me. “This is going to be some story to explain to them.” I climb back down to my room and slept the night away. When I woke up, I was back in the strange place again. The Crystal balls were still hovering and spinning, everything was quiet until a bright light came out of nowhere revealing to be Princess Luna. She looked around the dream, she seen a lot of dreams but nothing like this before. Luna ask me about the Crystal balls, I told her there other worlds except each of them has one different event. She didn’t understand what I was saying, until I showed her a closer look of the Crystal ball. Her face says it all, she never seen anything like this before. Worlds similar to hers. After that, Luna use her magic to find anything strange. Then suddenly all the Crystal balls stops, a bright appeared again, I warned Luna not to look at the light. We both covered our eyes. When we open them we were hovering, I looked around the area it looks different now it looks like space. Luna use her wings to balance herself. Luna shouted, “Show yourself thien.” A dark shadow appeared out of nowhere, started to form it’s body. When the shadow finished forming it’s body. The body looks like a dragon fly except it was vertical. The wings doesn’t look like dragon fly wing but instead it looks like bird wings. I was terrified to see a creature like that. Princess Luna was about use her magic until nothing happen, she can’t use her magic, she tried again still nothing. “What’s going on, why can’t I use my magic.” “Because you’re no longer in the dream world.” Me and Luna looked at the creature. It was talking to us telepathically. “You’re the first pony to made it this far.” “What do you mean the first one.” Luna suddenly stopped, she wasn’t moving, like she was frozen in time. Then the creature looked at me with It’s big black eyes, it feels like it was staring into my soul. “You shouldn’t be here, you didn’t listen to my words.” “What Words” “Let me remind you. You are just a puppet, and not the only one who entered this worlds. Your mind is weak, even if you found me, you’ll already be too late.” “What do you mean too late.” The creature got closer. “I feed on this worlds. It keeps me alive. I travel around the multi-verse and eat the other worlds.” “Wait a minute now I get it, you’re not just a creature, you’re a parasite. You devour the multi-verse.” “Correct human. Not just eat the multi-verse but I want to erase it all out of existence.” “Then why haven’t you just finish the job, something is holding you back right.” The creature flinch, it’s starting to raise his voice at me. “I shouldn’t be hiding things. Yes, something is keeping me away from these worlds. The creators.” “Creators, who are they?” “They were the ones who created these worlds. They have many names, but they’re in charge of keeping their stories in check. It’s like a writer, they write down The worlds they pick, and there’s so many stories they have written with all these worlds. But it’s like you said, i’m a parasite. I’m always on the run, consuming any worlds I seek, but if I get caught, game over for me.” “Wait you’re the villain, why are you telling me this. Shouldn’t you be keeping this a secret, not revealing it” “Most people would do that but, I like it when someone knows what’s happening but they can’t do anything about it.” I was shocked frighten, hearing the words of this creature. “You won’t get away from this!” “You think you frighten me human, you’re nothing but just a human, no magic, no wings, no powers no claws, no tail, nothing. I became death, the destroyer of worlds.” I started moving violently trying to get myself to wake up, but I couldn’t, it feels real, it feels too real. “Stop squirming human, I could send you back home.” I stop moving, hearing what he’s going to say. “That’s right, I can send you back home. I have the power to take you away from a Equestria, and bring you back to your family. I can erase your memory of The time you were in Equestria, you’ll forget everything you know, not knowing this world exist anymore. What do you think, do we have a deal.” I stop, he’s right what can I do, I’m not special, I don’t have the power to do anything. I am literally talking to an actually destroyer of worlds. I was about to say something, until I looked at Luna Frozen body and I looked at the Crystal balls seeing everyone. I started to remember the ponies who help me, Zecora, Twilight, Spike, Celestia and Luna. I can’t go back home, not yet. So I know what to say. “So do we have a deal.” “SCREW YOU, YOU GIANT EXCUSE OF A DRAGONFLY. I WILL FIND AWAY TO BEAT YOU.” The creature was not happy, it was about to attack me, until the creature flew away by a bright light, then I realized I was glowing, I don’t know what’s happening to me. The light became so bright that I can’t see anything. I woke up, I’m back at the castle. I got out of the bed, I was about to open the door. But twilight open the door first. Me and twilight ran to princess Luna room, to see princess Celestia with her Younger sister. Everyone was asking what happened in the dream. Luna said she saw something they never seen before, she was about use her magic at the creature but she can’t remember anything else after that. Everyone looked at me, and I told them everything. They’re were shocked and scared hearing about a creature that can eat worlds. “I have never seen anything like that before. Princess Celestia what should we do.” “I’m sorry Twilight but, I don’t know.” That creature must be stopped but how, how do we stopped an actual god. Then suddenly I got a vision, it was the elements, the vision was showing why, I was glowing and that light got the creature to fly away. Why is it showing me the elements. Then it hit me. With full determination and willing to stop this creature. “I know what we’re gonna do.” Everyone looked at me wondering what I’m saying. “Listen we don’t know jack shit about this creature, right.” Everyone agrees. “But it flew away when I was starting to glow, and after that I had a vision, and it showed me the elements of harmony.” “Are you telling us, that creature is scared of the elements.” “YES! I think, we need to get back to Ponyville and get the elements, and find a way to break through the multi-verse, and stop this creature before it consumes more worlds.” Everyone started to cheer up, Twilight have some ideas about breaking Reality. If they’re going to defeat this creature, they need all the help they can. I went back the room to grabbing my jacket and the blanket cloak. “Mmm. Yup, this is going to be some story to explain to my family back home. If I get back home.” > Chapter 4 Meeting Everyone > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Me, Twilight and spike were heading back to the train station. Twilight started mumbling trying to think how to break reality. While the ride back to Ponyville, I started to think, How are we going to beat this creature powerful enough to freeze Luna, and she barely remembered it. After thinking about that, I slowly realize something, the creature is powerful to control ponies and freeze them but not me. Could it be possibility that this creature has no control of me, because I’m not from this world. Either way if we’re doing this and Love of God we’re literally doing this, I need to think of a plan cause if I fail, no one will stop this creature ,except the creators. Then it hit me, I jumped out of my seat and yelled in excitement. “I GOT IT!!!” Everyone on the train turned and looked at me, they were shocked to find out a strange bipedal blanket wearing hood wearing creature screaming, I got it. I was a little embarrassed. “Sorry everyone.” I sat back down to my seat, twilight and spike still looking at me. Spike was sleep until he got scared when I yelled. Twilight in the other hand she understand what I meant. She came closer to me. “You got a plan?” “Yes, it’s crazy, irresponsible and bloody stupid.” “Well it’s better than nothing, what’s the plan then.” “We’re going to break reality so hard that it will force the creators to come to us.” Twilight eyes widen like a dinner plate, she immediately knows what I was talking about. “You want us to break reality to bring these people called creators to our location.” “That’s exactly what I said, yes.” There was a long silence, until twilight inhaled and told me something. “This doesn’t seem theoretically possible.” “Twilight, you’re literally talking to an actual human. That in your world counts as a mythical creature.” I took off my hoodie just to prove a point, then suddenly one of the peoples just started freaking out by seeing my face. “SWEET CELESTIA WHAT IS THAT!” I put on my hoodie again as fast as I can, realizing what I did. Then suddenly. “Oh never mind I thought I saw something.” I looked back at twilight, then I realize she wasn’t paying attention to me but looking at the lady who got scared for a second. Twilights face was like shocked but are you serious face. Meanwhile Me and Twilight continue talking after that, I revealed to her that the parasite can’t be defeated by any Magic here in Equestria because Princess Luna was inside of my dream, and she was frozen by the power of the parasite. I still remember what the parasite said, he was hiding from the creators, if we can get the creators to come to us, then they will see the parasite and stop him. Twilight was hesitant for a bit but slowly understanding the plan. She was worried if the plan works, then the creators would punish them if they broke reality. She does have a good point, The creators could be upset if they found out if someone broke reality, But yet again They could be happy if they found a parasite, but It does make me think about it, what if he saw the creators, he would fly away, And it will be more difficult to find them again. Not only that he would be angry at us, he could come back and destroy our world. “Guess we need everyone to help us.” Twilight nodded When the train arrived at Ponyville, we went to twilight castle. Twilight immediately started to building a Machine. I asked twilight what’s she doing, she told me she building a Machine that anyone can travel to another world, she revealed that the portal can created a tunnel, if she can find away to get the portal to break instead of creating a tunnel, but it’s going to take awhile. Twilight asked spike to tell their friends what’s happening. Spike got excited. “Man, I can’t wait for everyone to you meet you.” “You two need to be careful ok.” Twilight ask she looked back at us before we left. She knows that some of her friends would be scared of him but with spike, he can explain everything. I told twilight, I would be carful. Twilight was hesitant for a bit but she does need her friend to help them and she wants everyone to know Ulysses better. “Alright fine, spike you can introduce everyone to Ulysses.” “Yes!” “But be careful.” “We will.” When me and spike were out. I sigh, in my mind I hope twilight friends don’t see me as a monster or a freak, maybe I’m just thinking too much about this. I snapped back to Reality, when I realized something was climbing on my back. I panicked a little bit until it was spike. “Spike, what are you doing?” “Well I was thinking you should climb around Ponyville, and I will hold on tight on your back while you’re climbing.” “Spike, but what happens if you fall down.” “You know I have wings right.” I grab spike, while holding him, he does have wings. I already know dragons have wings, but I mostly see spike walk a lot. So I put him on my back. “You better hold on tight Yoda.” “Got it.” “So who are we meeting first.” “Our good friend Rarity.” We were ready, but I was not moving. Spike started questioning why I’m not moving. “I don’t know where Rarity live?” “She lives in Carousel Boutique.” “Yeah still don’t know where that is.” “Don’t worry I tell you where to go.” I started running towards the closes building, jumping on the wall and started to climb when I made it to the top, I began to run jumping towards another building, climbing and parkour. Spike was surprised he never seen anyone jump and climb like this before, it’s like he’s flying. I jumped on a pole and looked around, asking spike if he see Carousel Boutique, he does we’re close. I began jumping towards another building, when we got there I climb back down to the ground. Spike flew off out of my back, he enjoyed the ride, he asked me where did I learn to do that. I just told him I been climbing for long time since I was very little, it been with me for long time, and I enjoy every minute of it. When we were at the door, I stop looked at spike asking him. “Would it be better if you tell her about me before she sees me in person.” Spike was surprised what I was saying, then he remembers, Rarity faints when she was scared. He agreed. Spike went inside the building, I put head towards the door to hear something. All I can hear are muffle voices. A couple of minutes have passed, and spike came outside and told me, she ready to meet you. My heart was pumping fast, I was nervous. I hope she doesn’t freak out, she’s probably is. I walked inside the building and looked around the room, I was surprised by the clothes here besides it’s for ponies. If my mom was here, she would definitely ask Rarity to make human clothes. I flinch when I heard someone yasp. I turn to see Rarity she was definitely shocked, I was expecting her to scream and run away but all she did is just. “Sweet Celestia, what are you wearing.” Rarity immediately walk towards me and she was expecting me. She walked around me, looking at me while I was confuse. “No no no dear, this clothes will not do you any good and. (paused) Is this a blanket as your cloak. No dear you need to fine clothes follow me.” “Wat?” I looked at spike. I immediately can tell that he told her everything. So I followed Rarity to the other room. While in the other room, Rarity use her magic to removed the blanket and my jacket, started measuring me, I was shocked. “Ah, Rarity what are you, Spike what is she doing.” “I’m making you a new hoodie jacket will a build in cloak dear.” I looked at the table to see Rarity was drawing a new jacket. By Curiosity I asked Rarity. “Um, hey Rarity.” “Yes dear.” “You don’t seem to be shocked to see me. I’m not from this world.” I was taken back by Rarity reaction she was calm, not scared. This is the first time of another pony wasn’t scared of me. “To be honest dear, I was shocked to see you, I never seen anything like you before. Spike told me everything, at first, I thought Spike and Rainbow Dash were doing a prank, but Spike told me every details of what is happening and what Twilight is doing. I immediately know That this wasn’t a prank, because everything that Spike said is far too detailed for Rainbow Dash to made up.” “Dang roasted.” Said the little dragon. I’m glad that Rarity didn’t freak out, but she won’t let me leave until my new jacket and cloak is done. I asked her about the new jacket, she told me it’s something different, she saw a picture in a book where this ponies wore hoodies and cloaks. Although the picture was very old, she like the design of their outfit, so she’s making it but this time with some new and modern design. Rarity asked me what color should my jacket be. I told her the jacket should be green and the The shoulder pads and a Cloak should be grey. Spike joins in the Conversation. “You should put dragon scales designs on the shoulder pads and cloak, for people to think of you as a dragon.” Me and Rarity likes the idea. Rarity began to make the jacket, I was surprised how fast Rarity is making it, for a human it would take a few days or a week to making this. After 30 minutes, Rarity has finished it. “Alright dear it’s ready.” Rarity use her magic to levitate the jacket to me. I looked at the outfit. Rarity can tell I’m amazed of the outfit. The hoodie and cloak almost looked similar to the game Assassins Creed. I put on the outfit and looked at the mirror, it look amazing, I asked Rarity where did she put my other jacket, she told me she put it on the table. After that me and Spike were ready again, to alert the others, me and Spike say goodbye to Rarity, I began to climbing, heading to meet the others. While climbing, Spike told me where to go. We were head to Sugarcube Corners, then Rainbow Dash, after that to Fluttershy house, after that Sweet Apple Acres. When we arrived at Sugarcube Corner, spike did the same thing like he did with ready except this time it was fast. Spike introduced me to pinkie pie, like Rarity she wasn’t scared, she was happy to meet me, but she was talking really fast, so fast that I have no idea what she was saying. After we met, me and Spike explained everything that is happening, pinkie was not worried, in a Pinkie Pie way, she put on a Red bandanna and brought her party Cannon, I immediately noticed that reference. After get pinkie to calm down, me and spike went off to see Rainbow Dash, and before we left pinkie pie gave us cupcakes for lunch, we said goodbye to pinkie. Now we’re off again, but luckily we found Rainbow Dash sleeping on a cloud. Spike flew off towards Rainbow Dash trying to wake her up. She didn’t, spike started to shake her, she started getting irritated by that, she finally woke up. Spike explained everything, she flew down and looked at me. Like everyone else they were shocked, surprised or scared, Rainbow told me to take off my hood. Luckily we’re on top of a building, so I did, Rainbow took a step back, I know that reaction very clear. Rainbow Dash broke the silence, telling me she didn’t meant to be rude. I reply it’s ok, Rainbow was to know more what’s going on, this peak her interest. So we told her everything, she was shocked but at the exact same time she was excited, she said she was to see the other worlds. After talking to Rainbow Dash we head off to Fluttershy house, spike told me like her name, she’s shy. When we arrived to Fluttershy house, Spike went inside, it took while almost an hour, Spike got out telling me she’s ready. When we got inside, I see Fluttershy sitting on her chair. I walked towards her but stop only couple feet away from her, Spike ran up to Fluttershy explaining that the human is nice. Fluttershy was hesitant for a bit but has enough courage to stand up and walks towards me. “Your from another world, aren’t you.” I nodded, Fluttershy was shocked, her and her friends been through a lot adventures of saving Equestria, but this, a monster that eats worlds. It was scary and nerve wrecking, to stop a creature that defeated princess Luna in the dream world. Fluttershy didn’t say anything, all she did is try to process this information. I broke the silence, telling her everything will be ok, that’s why we’re trying to get everyone to help us. “What about you, would you manage to get back to your world.” Said Fluttershy, as I looked at her, in my mind I try to think of a answer, but all I can say is. “I don’t know to be honest.” Fluttershy walked closer to me, she put her hoove on my shoulder. She was trying to Comfort me, I miss this feel, like you have a bad day, and family member is trying to comfort you and cheer you up. “Don’t worry you find your way back home.” I thanked Fluttershy for cheering me, we stayed with Fluttershy for a bit, she introduced me to her animals, although the white bunny was the only one who was aggressive, he seem nice. After while we left Fluttershy house heading to applejack next. We say goodbye to Fluttershy. As we walked Spike asked me something by Curiosity. He told what happens if I can’t go back home to my world, after all of this is over, could I get back home. I looked at the little dragon and told him, he doesn’t need to worry about that. Spike was not happy of my answer, but he knows, that I don’t have answer. We kept walking until we made it to Sweet Apple Acres, I got to say, it’s a nice place. Spike took me to the red barn, he told me this where she lives. Spike told me to stay here while he try to find applejack. “Ah, fine.” I looked around seeing the entire farm, I remembered when I was little, we used to have a farm, well my dad used to work with someone who owns a farm. I decided to walk around the farm to see more of the valley, I got admit this is a really nice place to relax for a little bit. I looked around just a sec just to make sure sure No sees me, well no one is here this farm is very quiet, so I removed my hood. The wind was blowing my hair, it feels nice to feel the wind again, I know I had to hide myself from the public don’t want the whole town to freak out but, sometimes you got to have a long time. When I was walking I stopped back where I was, when we first entered in the barn. Then suddenly I heard a twig snap, I froze, my heart is pumping, in my mind is telling me, oh no here we go again. I slowly turned around to see a little Filly. Not just any little Filly, it’s the exact same filly that I met when I first came to Ponyville. What’s even more shocking, I wasn’t wearing my hoodie, my face is very clear to see. The little filly broke the silence. “Hey it’s you again, but this time you’re not hiding your face.” My eyes widen, what’s even more shocking this little Filly is not freaking out, that’s a good thing. I was so nervous, in my nervous speech all I can say is. “Hi.” I feel like I’m about to shat myself. I was trying to get enough courage to say another word, until I heard another voice from a distance this time as an adult male. “Applebloom! Where are you.” “I’m right here.” “Who’s that?” “My big brother Big Mac.” “Oh shit.” Oh shit it is, now I have a real reason to shit myself. My mind went from scared to blood terrified, Big Mac revealed himself and he looked at us, I know that look, I immediately know that look. Big Mac immediately started charging at me, he screams get away from her. I did the most common thing, I ran to the nearest tree. While climbing on the tree I realize that Big Mac is huge, I mean he’s smaller than Celestia but still that’s not a pony that’s a GODDAMN HORSE! Big Mac was not happy, he started hitting the tree, by the force of the impact, I felt the vibration. Big Mac keeps hitting the tree, I feel like the tree is going to break the more he keeps hitting it. “Sir, I know you’re trying to protect your little sister, but I’m not here to harm her!” “How do I know you’re not a threat.” “Because I did not came alone, Spike brought me here.” “How do I know, you were with spike.” “Because he was looking for AppleJack.” “Is that it.” “I am currently wetting my pants.” After the whole commotion have finally calm down, AppleBloom came out Big Mac, explain that I did not harm her. Big Mac was hesitant for a bit, but I wouldn’t blame him, he was just trying to protect his sister. Spike in Apple Jack finally arrive, I climb down the tree looking at a big Mac, worried that he could easily kill me, applejack explained everything to big Mac explain why I’m here and Spike told her everything. Big Mac apologize to me, I told him it’s OK. AppleBloom was in front of me again, asking me many questions like, am I really from another World, and saying Am I an alien. I did answer some questions ,but not the one with the alien because, I have no idea. Spike introduce me to AppleJack, after talking to each other, Applejack want to tell me something privately. We went inside AppleJacks house, I was wondering why Applejack want to talk to me alone, then she answer right away. “Look, Spike told me that we’re against a parasite that eats worlds, and seeing you running away from my brother shows that your not really telling the truth, are you.” I don’t know how but, applejack is right I haven’t told everyone the truth. “I didn’t, for a reason.” She looked at me full knowing what the answer is. “Look Sugarcube, I’m not easily fooled, but this problem that world is in. Tell me the full truth, no point in lying. Applejack is right, if I kept this information away from everyone then they would be confused or worse. “I don’t think we can beat this monster.” “So your plan is to break reality that force this people called creator to come to us to get rid of the parasite.” I was hesitant of a bit, but I told her anyway. “If that plan works the creators would arrive but I don’t know how can we keep him in one spot, if the creators show up then he would escape.” So your telling me, we have a plan but we’re missing the important part, how to trap it. I nodded, applejack sigh, I haven’t told anyone about this except her. She know that any magic here in Equestria would be useless against that thing. I turned my head to look at the window and saw a beehive filled with bees, I noticed there was one wasp, flying towards the beehive. The wasp attack one of the bee, then like a volcano the other bees started to attack the wasp. The wasp try to fly away but it was trapped by the other bees, then I got an idea. I looked at applejack, telling her I have a idea, but everyone is not going to like it. Then tomorrow is set, after telling applejack the plan she immediately hated the idea, but it’s the only. I walked out the door, but before I did, I told her. “Your a good friend.” Spike was waiting for me, asking me what took so long, I replied explaining the plan. When we made it back to Twilight castle, Spike ran to us room to sleep because he’s exhausted. I walk towards the map, it’s still glowing every time I gets closer. I finally understand why it was glowing, I understand why it’s me, maybe there’s another way, but I don’t know. This plan is risky and it’s all I got left. I need to go back in that world, and keep him there until they arrived. For me to save this world and all the others, for the trap to work, you must become the trap.
