Chapter 18: Close Calls (episode 1)

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Welcome viewers! I want to thank everyone that choose either this choice, or the other. I really needed help with deciding, as stupid as it sounds, and I'm glad that some of you helped me out. Anyway, I finally got this chapter up and it turned out way better than I thought. And like I said in the note, I had to make this chapter in order for other plots to make sense.

Also, if MLP makes episodes that have the same plot as my stories but made differently so it doesn't have Blitz and is worded for the younger generation, I'm just gonna laugh my head off at the fact that it's a HUGE coincidence, or that they might somehow in some upside down world actually read this story! LOL.

Disclaimer: I only own the ideas of the chapters and my OC Blitz. The creators of MLP own the idea of My Little Pony itself and all that other stuff.


The whole day after I had woken up from the coma had been... Informative. For them at least. I told them about tons of stuff about my world. Movies, soda, some fashion stuff, only since Rarity wouldn't shut up until I said something about that. They were all really fascinated by what I had to say, and I had barely hit the tip of the iceberg. At least they understood what most of it was so I didn't have to explain every little detail.

When it was starting to get dark, I had to go back to sleeping in the barn of Applejack's apple orchard again. It wasn't anything to complain about, but I guess as soon as I had the chance, I would fix up that other house I still want to live in. Despite the whole Old Mare Crankle thing. Besides that, I still have a few other things I needed to take care of sooner or later, but I'll save that for later.


The next morning, I woke up like usual. Groggy and half awake. Even if I woke up myself, I would still barely be awake. So to help wake up, I rolled off of the hay bale, falling on the ground behind it.

That's when I heard a voice coming from the barn doors. "Ya in here Blitz?" I heard Applejack ask. Guess she couldn't see me behind tha hay bale. "Guess he ain't here. Maybe he left already." I heard her leave and the barn doors close behind her.

I got up from behind the hay bale. "Huh... Wonder if she wanted some help or something..." *Yawn* "Oh well, I'll try to find her later, but for now I need to wake up. Maybe if I just fly around a little..."

So after I got up and flew out the barn window, I looked around. As I flew around though, I didn't look at where I was going and flew straight into a cloud that was just small enough to hide me inside.

I started to get out, but I felt something... sit on me? "Hey Rainbow Dash, do you see Blitz yet?! We need to find him!" I heard Pinkie Pie call out from below. I couldn't tell them where I was because there was a bunch of cloud in my mouth. So, I was a seat cushion until Rainbow Dash got off of me.

"Nope! Can't see him anywhere!" They were yelling since the cloud was a little ways off the ground. "He's probably around here somewhere though, come on!" I felt Rainbow Dash fly off me and afterwords, I was able to pop my head out of the clouds to tell them where I was. Before I could stop them though, they were both gone.

"What do they even need?" I asked as I got out of the cloud and just sat on it. "Probably to help find something that's under a blanket." I joked. How did Rainbow Dash not see me when I was right under her nose. Literally.

As I looked at the cloud, I saw it was a thunder-cloud. Maybe that could help wake me up. The last time I absorbed lightning, I got so much adrenaline that I went into a coma. But that was a huge amount of it. So maybe if I just take some electricity from this cloud, then it just might work.

I looked at the cloud and tried to remember just how I absorbed the thunder last time. The only time I did, all I did was hit the cloud so maybe...

As I hit the cloud with my metal leg, I saw the thunder course through me just like before. As soon as all the thunder was absorbed through the cloud, I could feel the electricity flowing through me. It was wierd though, and it felt like I was Pikachu. Great, the cliché keeps getting worse and worse. First I have a thunder bolt-shaped tail, that's made of iron, I can absorb electricity, and to top it all off I'm an animal that usually walks on all fours. I swear, if I grow red cheeks and my coat turns bright yellow, I'm just going to act like a Pikachu for the rest of my life, no questions asked.

Well, at least I'm wide awake now. That, and I feel like I have a bad sugar rush. Almost as bad as Pinkie Pie's. Either way, at least now I can catch up to Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie and ask why they were looking for me.

"Look out, the building's unstable!" I looked down and saw a frame of an unfinished house swaying around, about to topple over. It still had a lot of construction workers on it and they were trapped on the frame. So much for catching Rainbow Dash an Pinkie.

Without thinking, I flew towards the weak frame, going really fast since I still had all the electricity flowing through me. As soon as I got there, I spotted the weak point of the frame and held it up, making the frame shake less violently. It was still a little wobbly, but all of them were able to get off unharmed.

"That was way to close! Thanks kid, what's your name?" A brown pony with a deep voice, a construction hat, and tool belt on. He, along with the rest of them, had calmed down. Which was stupid because the frame was still about to break apart!

"Blitz! And, if it isn't any trouble, can you get the support beam on the frame already?!" I yelled out. I might be a cypony, but that doesn't mean that I can't hold a whole houses frame forever!

"Oh right! You heard the young one, get some support beams on the frame!" He called out. All of them hurried up and got the support beams up. When they finally had enough for it to be structurally sound, I let go carefully and landed back on the ground. "Again, thanks for the help their kid. We don't know why we didn't notice we were missing some support beams." He explained.

Ignoring the thanks I got, I went over to a table that had a blue paper on it. It was obvious that it was the blueprints and I inspected them. Sometimes, my construction class pays off way more than I ever thought it would. When I looked in between the blueprints and the frame I noticed something. "How long have you all worked on the frame?" I asked.

"Well, we worked on most of it yesterday, and we were supposed to finish it today, but it's getting messed up somehow." He explained. I nodded an kept inspecting the prints and the frame.

That's when I saw it. "These blueprints don't even match the framework!" How did they mess that up?!

"What?!" The worker asked very mad. He looked at the prints, and the framework, trying to figure out how. I showed him the difference that was on the first floor, so that part had to be built yesterday. "Jumpy J messed up the delivery again!" He looked to the group. "Take down the part of the frame we built today! Keep the support beams up! Jumpy J gave us the wrong blueprints again!" They all groaned and got to work on takin apart the frame-work. Since he was giving the orders, I guessed he was the foreman.

"Wait, who's Jumpy J?" I asked, confused. I might've been in Equestria for just a few days, but even I knew that name wasn't normal.

"Well, we give every pony on the construction crew a nickname. It's easier that way. He's kinda clumsy, but we trust him with bringing the prints from the construction hall, to the cites. But, sometimes he gets em wrong." The foreman said, scratching his head under his hat.

"Want any help? I'm sure I can find 'Jumpy J'." said with air quotes around Jumpy J. Which isn't that hard with hooves at all actually.

"That would be great! He should be at one of the other cites. There's only two others so it should be easy to find em." He said, handing the wrong blueprint to me. "And while you're at it, could you give him back this one? Maybe it would make him focus a little more."

"Got it. Thanks dude, I'll bring back the right blueprints." I said, taking off flying. I had to find Jumpy J and get the right blueprints.


3rd Person POV

As Blitz flew off, he didn't see Rarity coming up to the foreman. "Excuse me. Have you seen a young stallion with a well-kept lightning bolt-shaped tail, and a black coat to match? Me and my friends have been frantically looking everywhere for him." Rarity asked the foreman.

"Oh, that guy? Yeah, he helped us out greatly. He saved nail-head, hardwood, and some of the others over there. Then he offered to chase down Jumpy J and went over to one of the other cites." The foreman explained. By the end of that sentence, Rarity was so confused by the nicknames that she had no idea what he was talking about.

Luckily, he was smart enough to notice and simpled it down a little. "The frame over there was about to break with some ponies still on it. Blitz saved em and offered to chase down a pony that mixed up some blueprints."

Rarity was still a little confused, but understood that Blitz was here and went off somewhere else. "Alright. And can you tell me where exactly he headed?" She asked.

"Oh. Well he went flying off towards one of the other construction cites to find Jumpy J." The foreman answered.

"Thank you sir. Well, i best be off my way." Rarity said as she walked off. She had seen the cites around somewhere in Ponyville, and went off to find Blitz.

"Wow! Why can't I have a mare like that come looking for me?" One of the workers said. They were all watching Rarity leave, ignoring their work.

The foreman just shook his head at them. He was older than Rarity so he didn't care about her looks, but most of the other workers that were with him were young enough. "Get back to work!" He yelled out. They all snapped back to reality and started taking apart the frame again.


And so starts the beginning of the first 'episode'. What do all of Blitz friends need? Will the construction in Ponyville ever be able to build something without needing saving? Is this plot even going to get any better? All of these answered, next chapter!

Wow, I need a new outro! The whole, rhetorical questions thing, isn't that good is it? Oh well, guess I'll just stick by it until I figure something else out.

QotC: What is the most dangerous place to be on Earth, including natural and unnatural? I don't mean supernatural, I mean regular places. (Ex: Construction Cites, Caves, Nuclear Plants, etc.)
