Note from the author (From now on NFA):
Hello everyone and welcome to my new fanfiction. I want to say right now that this NFA is going to be probably large and NOT necessary, so feel free to scroll down after reading this little part:
I don’t own MLP FIM, its story or its characters, they are copyright of Hasbro (And they better make the right decision and let the following do things right) and Lauren Faust (Have her deviant art gallery if you don’t have it already :3 http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/ ). I own, however, this fictional story and the OCs that are in it. Also for the official characters go here: http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Characters as I doubt I would honor them with a description.

Once that is taken care of we can move to onto less necessary things, but ones that I want to get out of the way right away, so read on if you like but don’t feel obligated to.

I hate, and I mean HATE, MLP the original show. It was much like the f*censored* Carebears show: Make it cute until you puke, and not in any kind of good sense, if there is any out there. The stories were lazy, the characters were clichés, the ponies were obnoxious and the humans… I would’ve skinned them alive. However my friends poked me to see MLP FIM, so believe me when I say that sent them to hell a few times, but they promised me that it wasn’t like the usual ‘girls’’ cartoon. In fact they bought me when I heard it was made by Lauren Faust, but I had some prejudice thanks to the first cartoon. Of course I finally saw it; I am not made of stone…

And I liked it.

I mean, man, there is no cliché in the characters as they are complex (At least way more than the usual in most cartoon or movies), the story is good and even with it being filled with some chapters that are more or less stand alone it is very well done. The development of the characters is interesting, there are some very nice mental breakdowns you wouldn’t even think to see in a kid’s cartoon as well as some nice moral advices that almost nobody really want to hear because the truth of what you should do burns most minds. So take it from someone who prefers to see IT, The Thing, Alien and loads and loads of… mature stuff.

This show is golden :3 And I hope the 2º season is not ruined because Hasbro made Lauren Faust stand down.

Now though, why did I force all this on you guys when you wanted only to read something? Well, I said I hated MLP the original show, but after watching the new one I began to create my own ideas as I always do… and the most prominent came down to be one that most people do not seem to enjoy: Mix a human in here. I know what I said of the first MLP show but I did enjoy the idea of an ADULT in here as I planned adventures and other things. I don’t know if you will like this as much as I did as I was writing it, but I hope for the best even if it may not be the most interesting or novel idea, I wanted to try and so here is the first chapter. Let’s see how it goes from here :3

Sunny day, flowers everywhere, happy talks, a beautiful landscape and a rustic village to both. Over the last three months Twilight Sparkle had been accustomed to the sight of the perfect village, it had been a revitalizing experience to go from Canterlot to the village of Ponyville, also granted her some friends too. The problem she had as she walked down the road to her house was that after those three months she had discovered something that practically discouraged her.

Having adventure after adventure forced you to learn and develop faster than anyone would’ve thought.

In three months most things that had happened were parties, having her friends and learning facts about life that made it all the better, but sometimes a monster or a little adventure sprung up and gave her a fast forward in magic skill or practice for things she was yet to gain confidence in, only to master them quite fast. It was the most exciting experience in her life besides the finding of her friends and them all together, but it made her feel insecure as with her little body and young age she was not ready to escalate so fast with such power, it would only harm her and her friends.

That is why she had devised a plan! She knew that Nightmare Moon could control monsters or even create some dark creatures with her powers, Twilight had asked Princess Luna about it since Celestia could, maybe, not want anything to do with it and, while the young Princess was ashamed of it, she had said that creating or summoning creatures to help and protect was indeed quite easy if you knew how. The ways of doing it were easy enough: Form a convocation circle with chalk (Make sure it is closed or it may backfire), concentrate in the creature you want to summon or create and use all your power without extenuating yourself, stopping if you think it could make you faint as something dangerous could come out of such mistake.

She was excited, partly because it was a new spell to try, partly because she knew what she wanted to summon and, in good measure, because she knew this was very, very dangerous. There had been some nasty monsters, most of them Fluttershy had been able to subdue and the rest had been fought thanks to the Elements of Harmony (She still had problems believing it was her and her friends), but at some point the luck would maybe take a turn and they would fail, or worse, get someone harmed. Twilight didn’t want to think of the worse but it had been a beautiful life for so long that something horrible was due sooner or later.

However she would prevent it! She had a plan and she knew just the thing to make sure that even if something bad was going to happen it would only be able to be a scare and maybe nothing else. However first she had to get home with the book that she had asked Princess Luna for, hopefully with none of her friends catching up with her. She needed this to be a secret.

“Hey Twilight!”

Tarnations.

Twilight turned to see her friend Spike running towards her with a muffing in each hand. The little dragon had grown nothing, but it was common for them to take long so while he was highly intelligent he was still simply a baby. Even as worried as she was now Twilight had to laugh inwardly as she thought ‘A baby with a bit of an hormonal problem’ with a chuckle almost escaping her lips as she thought back at the time when Spike had told her about his ‘secret’ (As secret as dragons love gold) crush on Rarity.

“Where are you going so inconspicuously?” He asked with his face covered in chocolate and muffin remains “Usually when you go to see the princess or have a talk with her you go tell all the girls about it”

“Oh, it is nothing Spike, I only wanted to do something to have the day free and spend some time with the girls after telling them. I don’t want to cut it short and do my duty just after telling them” She gave the best and most convincing smile she could. It technically wasn’t a lie as she had been encouraged by Princess Luna to summon a friendly creature to help them if needed, so she was sincere “You know I have to do what the princess tell me, besides it shouldn’t take very long”

“Oh… alright” Spike munched on the muffins and gulped them down, cleaning his hands and mouth before mounting Twilight “Then let’s go! I will help you so you finish faster whatever you have to do; I am number one assistant after all”

“T-thank you Spike” Twilight grimaced a bit as she turned back to head home again “But you shouldn’t worry, this will take no time at all I promise. I don’t want to keep you away from whatever you were doing earlier”

“Nah, I am full and besides Pinkie Pie is preparing something so I don’t want to get in the way, besides I think I already took enough of her sweets” He belched loudly “Ups, sorry”

“Heh, no problem Spike” Twilight just smiled, he was indeed a big baby. Hopefully that would mean he wouldn’t mind what she wanted to do.

Fortunately she didn’t have to worry for too long about anything else than getting things done. Spike had always been her friend and he would help her no matter what, she knew he would and she knew this would end well with her achieving what she hoped for. The problem is if the legends she had been reading about held truth about these creatures or were really only myths.

It was a rainy Sunday, the sound of the storm, the droplets hitting his window and loud music hitting his hears, for him it was perfect. J, as he liked to get called, was simply enjoying the day at his home now that his little and big sister had left for his father’s and his mother had left a few minutes ago to the store. It was so rare to enjoy the sound of the rain and such loud music in his bed like this without being yelled at, or punched, or pounced or, well, basically anything you could imagine.

Twenty five years old, bald already (hereditary, heh), coffee colored skin, one meter sixty eight cm in height, normal build, green eyes and quite a bright mind with many evil ideas brewing (Mostly fantasies, he was a good guy). He was a normal guy that liked heavy metal, black or camo clothes, had fantasies about being a knight in medieval times or being the hero of some game… fine, he was not normal, he was a bit weird like many geeks before him and he was completely fine, besides, his room already told enough about him.

Big room with a bed that had bed sheets from Star Wars, one self filled with figurines from TLOTR, Warhammer, Star Wars, Transformers and more, another one full of comic books and traditional books, a third one full of Manga, Hentai, Anime, Sci-Fi movies and Action and Fantasy ones. In one lateral there was a cupboard that had so many games stuffed inside that it was about to explode even being as tall and twice as wide as a man. That was the legacy of a geek.

However that was one side of the room, the side where he had the part of personality that was his and his alone. In the other side there was a bow, an axe, a shield, a medieval armor and a couple of paintball guns. His mother was a soldier and she loved any kind of way she could explore warfare as she wanted to be prepared for anything, in fact she wanted to be so prepared that she tried to get her children and husband to imitate it. Let’s say that J was the only one that enjoyed, or simply tolerated, such a thing.

Still that he was the only one to stick with his mother didn’t mean they mingled all that well together…

*Knock, knock*

As life was about to force him to remember.

He got up with a groan and turned down the volume as he walked towards the door, grunting as he saw that his mother was looking at him with a disappointed look.

Annemarie, his mother, was a tall black woman with long black hair, red eyes and a muscular build that made her son dwarf in comparison as she almost reached the meter ninety of height. A rough life and an even rougher character forged from it granted her very few moments where she would allow a smile over a stoic or even scornful face that otherwise would be beautiful. No one would even imagine she and her ex-husband had a kid when they were nineteen, in fact no one would ever imagine that Annemarie was further away from her twenties.

“I found this” She growled as she showed a photocopy of a picture to her son “In your sister’s room”

“So… what about it?” His mother forced the picture on his hands. It was a drawing of all the main characters in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic “Fuck. This again?”

“Son, I have enough of a problem thinking of you as a weak geek that spends most his time at home playing games and watching porn” Annemarie said with a loud groan “I have even a bigger one accepting that you are a damn furry and that you would love to bang an animal” This made J open his mouth, but his mother forced it shut with a hand “But that you love this fucking girly cartoon?! You are turning up to be a pansy and I won’t allow you to drag your sisters into it!”

Finally J got his mother’s hand away and decided he wouldn’t shut up this time “First of mom: I am a geek, I like my games, my comics, my figurines and my PORN and I still can break an adult man’s arm with ease even if he is taller than you and weights two times as much as I do, you trained me for that since I was young” His mother seemed about to explode but he continued “Second: I am a furry because I love the idea, I love the fandom and I love animals. I wouldn’t bang an animal, not now, not ever, if I do something with someone I want that person (or whatever) aware of what she is doing and with the chance to say yes or no, I would never force myself on anything without consent and as such I wouldn’t do it with an animal thank you very much” By now his mother was obviously doing her best to repress her anger, she was about to explode in the worst way possible but she was doing her best to resist until the end “And what is your problem with this cartoon? It had good story, characters that aren’t stereotypes, deep personal isues and it even makes a guy enjoy simple and innocent things. What is your problem with what I do for Christ’s sake!?”

“That when you were young you did it perfectly” She said, relaxing a bit which only meant it was about to get deep, in a bad sense. J only sighed and rolled his eyes as he thought ‘here we go again’ “You were a warrior, a survivor. We all went to the forest one summer and a storm got us all separated, we almost lost you and your little sister in there when she ran screaming and scared only to fall in the river and get dragged deeper into the forest. You helped her survive for almost a week: You healed her wounds with herbs, you hunted with stick and stone and you even build a small house for her to rest. From there onwards you were strong of body and strong of mind… then this!” She pointed at his room, pushing him away so she could enter his room and open her arms to simply point at everything “You got into games, into fantasy and into all this shit that got you mushy and weak over time. You got into that weird fandom of yours and you changed, you…”

J cut his mother waving his hands fast and hard. He was losing it by now “I changed because I hated what I did back then. I had to kill innocent things for food; I had to see how cruel I could become when I was not even ten years old. I love you and what you did for me, I became strong and capable, but I don’t want to be that, I want to be my own person instead of what you wanted me to become” He saw that his mother was getting red in anger, but this was normal by now and this talk had been done ad eternum so he wasn’t all that worried “However I still love you and I still use what you showed me. Isn’t that enough? I am studying and I am going to have a career someday when I finish, what else do you want?”

Annemarie had a twitch in her eye by now, she was squeezing her fists close and it was obvious she had lost it.

“What do I want?” She said in a soft way “I want my son back, the one that loved me but also obeyed me in whatever I said. I want my little soldier that would someday follow my footsteps and that would make my family proud. I want my kid, my flesh and blood, to do as it is told like it should be for I am your mother and I know what is best for you” She turned and, with one powerful motion, threw the three selves down with a loud crunch “AND THIS SHIT IS CORRUPTING YOUR MIND AND GETTING YOU AWAY FROM ME AND YOUR DUTY!”

There was silence for a while in which J had practically a neutral expression as he looked as mostly his last fifteen years crushed thanks to his mother. At the same time a realization struck Annemarie as she saw what she had done, she felt worse than ever and she only wanted to try and say sorry as she got closer to her son, only to be pushed away.

“So that is it eh? After that day in the forest dad was fed up with you, he left you and we three had to get a few days with each other, but not together anymore. Incessant discussions after I began to do things I liked but you didn’t, a yell here or there, maybe a few days of punishment being alone or without some things. We had a lot of problems since I tried to stay with you all the time, I love you mom, even with your rants and your nutty ideology… But this overreacting for no good reason?” He pointed at the wreckage that was his room “And what you said? Did you lost it altogether? Did you really want a little toy soldier out of me? Or was it that you thought I would end up leaving you at the drop of a hat like dad did?”

“Son, please” She begged.

“No, no please” He growled “It is not that you broke things that were important to me, I am mad not because of the monetary value, but for the history and the tales the told of my life and who I am, things that I held dear for lessons or times past. You and anyone else can think I am sick, stupid or whatever, but I am me and nobody will make me change anything I do or like” He turned and didn’t gave a look back “I tried to make you proud when I was a kid and I tried to make you proud when I was growing even if I did things you didn’t approve. I always tried to do as you wished only to see you happy again, but it seems I wasted my efforts” He sighed and shrugged, not caring anymore “I will come back whenever I feel like it”

With that he walked away and left Annemarie as she felt on her knees, crying. Since the divorce she had been taking medication, but a first day prior she had stopped after… something went awry. She had been getting worse and she knew she would explode, however this was not the outcome she had hoped for. She had been raised the same way that she had tried to raise her son and her daughters, she had fought all her life and while she had tried to not make the same mistakes her parents did it was obvious that to this day was it was hard for her to say that she did something right, if anything.

This way of life was the only one she had ever known of. The only thing she hoped now was that she wouldn’t do something stupid, at least stupider than this.

“Are you sure about that, Twilight?”

Spike sat on Twilight’s bed as she drew a circle on the floor of her room. She didn’t know what to expect but right now there were no Pegasus on Ponyville so there were less chances of someone seeing whatever happened here in case that the summoning is ‘flashy’ or the creature indeed is like the legends say.

“Are you saying that there is any other creature as intelligent as this one and that is NOT going to eat us?” Twilight gave a smirk towards Spike as she finished the circle.

“Not really, but as a dragon I do know many things” Spike seemed a bit uncomfortable “For example: You know that there are many realms or dimensions, that is why there are so many and so different monsters everywhere as with the magic in this world a lot of creatures that are magical may drift here from other worlds or realms” Twilight nodded “I know I am not as bright as Princess Celestia or Luna, or probably you” At that Twilight blushed a bit “But every dragon inherits some natural knowledge from their ancestors, and the creature you want to summon is… dangerous, very, very dangerous. If you summon the wrong one you will end up harming everypony you know”

“I… the legends say…”

“The legends aren’t always legends, you showed that to everypony when Nightmare Moon came, didn’t you?” Spike cocked an eyebrow, inquisitively looking at his friend “I am sure that all the horrid things in those books were as true as all the marvels and the joy they could create, something simply TELLS me it is true. I don’t want to change your mind, I only want you to take care and concentrate in what you want to summon as much as possible”

“…” There was silence for a while, but Twilight was decided to do it “Only creature I found that would be as versatile and as dangerous, but also as loyal was an adult dragon. Do you think any adult dragon would help us fight monsters when they were once regarded as so? Because they still are in some places”

“Doubt it” He said flatly “Some dragons are very nice, but most of us haven’t been born with a caretaker like you, most of our kind lives with their own and it is commonly ‘Be strong, be the best and get a big hoard’. Friendship and helping others usually don’t mingle well if there is not a lot of money and jewels mixed in and this little village couldn’t afford it”

“I guessed as much” She sighed a bit and sat in the cold floor “But it is the best plan I have. I don’t know how much things will be as nice as they are now…”

“You are worrying too much Twilight” Spike chuckled “But if you want to summon a human to help you protect the city let me tell you something that is nagging at my mind, it may be wrong since it is ancient knowledge if I am right, but it seems of importance”

“Well, then say it. It may be important Spike, and if not, it at least will be some extra information to look about” She was getting nervous, but at least she still was cool about it.

“It seems when you transport a creature from another world or realm it gets stronger, but it also has to be in very dire condition” He rubbed his chin a bit with one paw while the other went to scratch his head as if he was forcing the thoughts out “That is how some of the most ancient creatures of this world are so strong in comparison to others of their species that are younger and seemingly more capable: They were empowered when they came here”

“So… how strong could a human be?” Twilight was a bit worried of what the result could give her if it wasn’t a good outcome.

“Hmm… don’t know” Spike shrugged “I suppose a human is weaker than a pony, they don’t have the same anatomy you do, but they are versatile so I suppose they would be as strong as any other pony with the benefits of their race only being augmented”

“Then in the worst case we may be able to hold it down, no?”

“Depends… most humans aren’t magical as far as this little voice in my head is concerned, so if they aren’t magical the magic will not harm them as much, or help them as much, which means you would be at a disadvantage”

“Just wonderful” she groaned “But maybe it is all the better if whatever comes is magical and we do need its help. Now though, I wonder, why does it have to be in a very dire condition?”

“Dunno, it is a nagging feeling about needing the creature to want to be here and owing you for it, I suppose, I am not sure” He gave an innocent smile as he blushed a bit. For once he was being very smart without messing up something “But I am sure you don’t want to bring someone that wants to be here for something else and not under your control if it is a bad guy by any chance, right?” Twilight nodded at that “Then remember to concentrate. I will be prepared in case it is not friendly”

Spike posed like if he was a superhero as his mind drifted to how cool it would be to save somepony (And how effective in the sense of getting Rarity to like him of course). Twilight couldn’t help but laugh silently; it was too easy to read her friend.

However laughs and other stuff would have to wait. This was the first time she hadn’t done something ‘by the book’ and she didn’t want it to backfire. She wanted to have it done, to ensure there was some extra protection and to make more than sure than she was simply being paranoid, in which case if she summoned someone in a dire condition then the only outcome of this escapade would be that she saved someone’s life.

‘I can live with that’ She smirked as she thought so, concentrating as the circle began to glow with a purple light. If she was wrong and there was no need to invoke this creature then, as said, she would save it if Spike was right, in the other hand she was all too sure that this human would be needed at some point. She wasn’t sure if she was scared of what she was doing or knowing that it was necessary to bring a dangerous creature to Equestria, but her gut hadn’t let her down once and this time she was wishing it did.

“Here goes nothing” She whispered, forcing her horn to spark with power as the circle’s glowing grew in intensity with the magic power being pumped into it.

J had been out in the rain for the latest fifteen minutes. He had calmed down quite fast; the rain was pouring down his hood, which relaxed him, he had Motorhead pumping hard in his ears and he DID understand what his mother had gone through and how hard it was for her sometimes. A few days ago she had tried to talk with his sisters and his father to try and get together again, something that was very hard for her to do as she was not someone to admit she had done ever wrong at all, but the result was… well… It made it worse and he knew that what had just happened would force the rest of her sanity down the drain or help her.

He had been trying to help her any way he could since his father dumped her after that day. He knew that it was his mother’s idea to go out there every time they could and practice survivalism, it was a nice skill and would help almost anywhere if the worse come to happen, it wasn’t HER fault that rain poured down so fiercely that the storm scared his sister and they went lost downstream. J knew his father missed his mother as much as she did miss him, but he feared of what would happen if his mother didn’t change, in fact after so many years his fear was confirmed more and more for how things had gone.

*Sigh* ‘This is pure shit’ He thought.

*Splash!*

Looking down he could see a couple of frogs leaping from where he was to the river bellow. Unlike his little sister he hadn’t gone hydrophobic after that event years prior, that was the reason he loved the little town where he and his mother were: It had a nice river and an old wooden covered bridge. It went towards a pond that was half an hour away where the forest began, one of his favorite spots thanks to the wildlife coming there most the time even when he was around.

‘Maybe the reason my mother worries so much about my little ‘fandom problem’ is because I have always been better with animals than persons’ He chuckled as he thought about that ‘I want to be a veterinarian for some reason, ‘asides it is nice of course’

Thanks to his mother he hadn’t been all that good with people, but a lot of time in nature had left him finding it better to be with animals for the most part. Don’t get me wrong, he did like his friends, but an animal usually liked you or didn’t, it couldn’t lie, they would show what they felt for you right away and you had to do something VERY stupid or VERY daring (and helpful) to make them change their mind, something that would show right away. He appreciated the truth they gave away so easily, something that humans usually did not.

‘Fuck, I am weird, my life is weird and I make no sense’ He chuckled at that as he rubbed his temple ‘Why couldn’t I be more like a normal person? I wouldn’t have these problems and I wouldn’t have to be wondering when, better say IF, I am going to go back home’

He turned to watch the little city that had been his home. His mother had moved in this small (Technically speaking) and secluded city simply because: A) It was far away from his father. B) It was close to the base she was stationed. C) In these kind of places it was hard to have any kind of event, and she didn’t want ANY kind of event, least of all that happened to her little one.

Of course it is always at the worst moment when things decide to go down the drain, and in this case it meant that J didn’t turn out fast enough to see the car that was skidding along the road towards the bridge thanks to the heavy rain and probably a drunk trying to drive.

The last few words he could say before it all went dark were pretty simple and specific.

“Oh fuck me…”

“Come on Twilight! You can do it! Only a little more!”

Spike had been cheering for Twilight the past fifteen minutes, but it had helped little to nothing. The incantation was hard to pull off with a normal monster; Twilight had come to realize that way too late, but to bring something from other world here? It was the hardest thing she had done, ever, and it was hard on her as she knew she would be unable to do any magic for a while after she finished, if she did pull this off at all.

The circle had form a small portal of white light two minutes ago, but no image had come to form within it and nothing came out of the little thing even with all her power going straight to finish this fast and efficiently. She was sweating a bit and her horn felt like it was on fire, demanding for her to scratch it and bothering her almost enough to force her attention away from the spell.

‘A bit more… come on… a bit more!’

Suddenly a explosion of light forced Twilight to close her eyes as she heard Spike yelling and falling from the bed, then a wet sound of someone hitting wood fast and very, very hard, maybe even a breaking sound to both. For once she was scared. Had it work? Did she summon the creature too late? Had the sound meant that the one she had summoned had… suffered for her tardiness? Or was it Spike that had hit the ground hard because she had fumbled it? Maybe it was something worse, maybe…

“Hey! We have someone!” She heard Spike yelling.

She finally opened one of his eyes to peek, only to gasp in surprise.

There he was, or at least she thought it was a he: A big man, lying on the ground with his back against the wall of her tree home. He wore some kind of clothes, she thought they were called trousers and shoes with… some kind of jacket? She had heard that some of the dogs that took Rarity back then used this kind of equipment when they weren’t digging underground but strolling near the surface (Rarity had forced some manners on them).

The human was, though, not as she had supposed it would be: He was tall, probably two times taller than her? It at least was as tall as Princess Celestia, but the legends said there were humans so huge that would dwarf Celestia easily, so this one could be considered a runt if she wanted to be harsh, but she wouldn’t go that far. The creature was, though, not strong in the looks, maybe well rounded, but not strong, didn’t have any weapons, armor or anything like the things in the legend, it looked… more civilized.

It was NOT the result she was hoping for. She heard music coming from a device the human had, she saw that everything that he had was very well done, which either involved magic or great skills, and was obviously out in the rain without a care in the world for all she saw, so it also meant that at least they had good medicine to ward from common viruses and other nasty and bothersome things.

Twilight had gotten someone from a place with very intelligent and civilized beings, she-messed-up. She was hoping for a barbarian like human like in most the legends, or one of those ‘medieval’. Thanks to all that Spike had been telling her while the spell was being made (She had to get her mind away of the tiring or burning sensation she felt) he was sure that with magic they would probably follow her, and if she had saved them then they would be honor bound to help her make Equestria safe which also would mean they would get a happy life in this lovely world. But she hadn’t thought it would be like this. What if she had crushed this guy’s life by error then? She would’ve done something HORRID.

“Eh… Twilight?”

The voice of Spike finally tore her away from her little paranoia as she looked at the little dragon checking on the downed human as he hadn’t moved a muscle since he came here.

“He is… he isn’t breathing”
