Another Chance at Life
Chapter 30: 30. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Previous Chapter Next ChapterA/N: This is it, the chapter that you have all been waiting for. Here is the beginning of the arc; it will be the spell malfunction arc. The final vote count was Baltimare arc 6, Spell malfunction 13, and storm 1. So I guess the spell arc won out, this arc will be a moderate sized one (at least 5 chapters). Don’t worry, the chapters will still be as funny as before. On with the chapter!
I woke up and felt okay. I got up and started to get ready for work. Back to the old grind! Oh boy, I can’t wait to get there and work for 8 hours! Ugh! I walked over to my refrigerator and opened it. I had a few bottles of apple cider in there and took one out, I also grabbed an apple. When I shut the door of it I turned around and there was a letter on the counter. Shit another letter, what will this one is about? Oh hi Kyle, I want you to come over so we can go see when you were hit by the Mack truck, we want to see how you died! NOPE! I walked over to it and picked it up. I took off the little seal that was holding it closed and opened it and began to read.
Dear Kyle,
That was a good prank you did to me a few days ago, but now it is time for payback. I am here with the others and we would like for you to come over to the library to use another spell to learn about you and your culture. I hope this isn’t too severe of a punishment. The others will be joining us this time as well, they are curious to learn about humans and their culture as well. Rainbow Dash said that you have been having some side effects and we will get that settled after the spell. We wait for your arrival. Hope to see you soon!
Sincerely, Twilight
Great, more spells! Imma blow up if she wants to do something that will make me feel uncomfortable. I opened my window and stood on the ledge, it was cloudy and drizzling outside. “Whelp, let’s go get this unfortunate event over with! Up up and awayyyyyy!” I said before I swan dived out of my window. I stopped falling and flew up high into the air. I flew all the way over to Twi’s house and landed by the front door. I knocked 3 times and she opened the door with her magic. *sniffle* I am at your mercy troll mistress. Stop thinking dirty thoughts!
“Hi Kyle, eager to start so soon?” Twilight said to me happily.
“About as eager as I am going to get at 9 in the morning. Now what does this spell do to let you learn more about me?” I said to her in reply. Shut up and get on with the endless awkwardness and irritability!
“This spell is a little more of the same as the last one, only this one lets us talk to one person that we choose, and we can bring back one item with us” Twilight said to me, the smile widening. Nyah! Too happy, make it stop!
“Ok, that is good then. We can start whenever you want” I said to her with a small smile across my face.
“Ok, I have to direct the spell at you this time. You are going to be the gateway to the human world this time. It does not hurt as far as I know….are you ready?” Twilight asked me.
Well, that is a little disheartening. She said that there were no known side effects for the spell that she gave me and there were! I’m not sure I can believe her with the ‘it not hurting’ thing. If it hurts I am going to drop a flower pot on your head and say it must have been Pinkie’s Pinkie sense kicking in. I am evil I know! “Yup, fire when ready” I said to her. Imma firing my lazer!
She pointed her horn at me and it started to glow. I regret my decision! She shot a controlled beam of purple magic at me and I covered my face. It hit me and my fear became reality, it did hurt. It was a massive pain that even surpassed the spell that I got a few days ago. The beam got brighter and for some reason I saw that it was changing colors.

Rainbow Dash and the others were watching this happen. They knew it was hurting him but never did they see what would happen next. The controlled beam of light sent out a pulse towards Kyle and when it hit him there was an immense bright light. The girls covered their eyes and when the light dissipated Kyle wasn’t there anymore. Rainbow Dash was the first to see a huddled mass over on the far end of the room.
“Kyle! Fluttershy, come over here and help me” Rainbow Dash said to the yellow Pegasus.
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy trotted over to his form on the ground. He was twitching and there were light blue sparks shooting off of him. She got closer and saw that he looked different; his hair was now black with one light blue strand going down the left side, it was spiked up and looked like it was electrified. She reached out and touched his arm and it shocked her. She reared back and then looked over to Twilight with fear.
“What did you do to him?” She said to the unicorn.
“I-I don’t know, it was the same spell as before, only with a little more added to it. The first time this never happened. T-the spell must have malfunctioned or something. I-is he alright from what you can see?” Twilight said to the speedster pony, she was frantic with worry.
“He umm just looks to be unconscious, but he is breathing right and doesn’t look to be injured. Maybe all it did was shock him” Fluttershy said in her quiet tone.
“He is electrified Twilight! He shocked me when I touched him, not to mention his hair is now jet black with a streak of blue going down it!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, she was not happy with Twilight for doing this, but she couldn’t rightly be mad at her either. Unicorn magic was never meant to be used on a human, and this was more than to be expected, he just got lucky the first time is all.
“From what Fluttershy said, he just looks to be knocked out. We will know if he is alright when he wakes up” Twilight said to RD to try to calm her down.
“Ok, let’s hope he is alright” RD said finally. She had calmed down a little.
*****
Kyle has been unconscious for a little over a day now. His body looked ok and the sparks had stopped shooting off of his body, so they took the opportunity to move him over to the couch. They all couldn’t get over the physical change to his body. He was a little shorter and looked to be a little younger as well, maybe a year or two. RD couldn’t stop looking at the blue streak going through his hair; it looked just like the color his eyes turned when he used his telekinesis.
Everyone was waiting for the moment when he would wake up; they just didn’t know how much of a shock it would be to them when he did.
Kyle started to wake up at around dusk that same night.

“Ugh, what happened to me? I feel like I got hit with a cattle prod!” I said as I got into a sitting position. I opened my eyes and saw 6 ponies looking at me. OH MY GOD, WHY THE HELL ARE THEY LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT! Fuck the luck I have, what the hell happened to me anyways? “Ummm”
“Kyle, how do you feel?” the cyan Pegasus said to me. Ok, so they can talk. I am going to have to take this slow.
A/N: this was the first chapter of the spell arc. I hope you like the amount of chapters I am getting out. Did you figure out what happened yet? I’ll let that sink in for a while. Next chapter will be up tomorrow!
