Chapter XI: Unforeseen Consequences

Ray's POV

Canterlot Café, 9:30 PM

Rather than a buffet, we decided to eat at a café because the buffet is too much expensive and really crowded. Me and Redheart sat on a table while waiting for the waiter. The café is not that crowded, it's actually kind of nicer and peaceful in here… With the music playing and the cold air outside the windows. I looked at Redheart and saw that she was blushing.

"Redheart? What's with you?" I asked,

"Oh… It's because that I've never eat with someone before. It feels like… we're on a date." She said to me while blushing more.

"Well, don't be shy. After all, we're just eating together on a café." I said, patting her on the back. I looked up to see the waiter trotting towards us with the menus. I took the menus and gave one to Redheart and chose our food.

"Good evening sir, what will you order?" The fancy stallion asked. I took an apple juice and a salad while Redheart took a hay shake and an apple pie. The waiter thanked us and said that we'll have to wait for our food and trotted away.

"Oh! I forgot, I'm still wearing my mane net. Hehehe, I'll take it off." She said to me. She then took off her mane net and her mane swooshing at the wind and dropping at the back of her neck. If I saw that while drinking water, I could've spit water everywhere.

"Whoa… You look kinda good!" I said to her, she blushed and giggled

"Oh… Hihihihi… Thank you, Ray." I smiled.

"What else you have heard of me, Redheart?" I asked

"Well, lots of things! Like when you sang in stage and danced on the streets. We haven't seen such moves since Pinkie Pie's last biggest party!" She praised me.

"Well, I can do anything, from changing voices to flying up high in the sky and stuff."

"That's amazing. It quickly spread throughout Pony Ville. And that companion of yours? He's even more popular due to his amazing voice and talents."

"Yeah, I know right? Everyone loves Ryan. And I'm not even jealous!" I said while lying back.

"While everyone loves Ryan for his voice, everyone loves you for your kindness and your dance moves."

"Yeah, looks like me and Ryan are gonna be like superstars when we return to Pony Ville."

"Yeah you will!" We laughed together.

Me and Redheart talked for a while, she talked like how many patients she treated, her stay in Canterlot, how she got her Cutie Mark and stuff. The waiter came back with our drinks and set it down on the table. I grabbed my apple juice and drank it; I have to say, it tasted better than those branded apple juices back at Earth.

"… and then the Cutie Mark Crusader distributed those muffins to Pony Ville, and later that day, they were diagnosed with food poisoning!"

"Holy Crap, really?!"

"Yeah!" We laughed, I looked outside the window and wondered about if I want to go back to Earth or not… Well, Ryan has friends and families that he cares about while I was created in a damn test tube. The truth hurts y'know… My eyes turned purple on that thought.

"Ray, what's wrong with your eyes?" Redheart asked me

"Oh… When my eyes turn purple, it means that I'm depressed and sad. It's because that I found out that I have no families and I'm alone and I have no one… Well, Ryan is my bro, my friend."

"Aww…" She trotted towards me and gave me a warm hug, my eyes turned to yellow. I hugged her back, somehow the hug felt good than… Well, I mean I've never hugged a human before since I was born in a fucking test tube. We broke apart when suddenly, she kissed me.

*BOOM*

We broke apart and saw fireworks outside,

"Well, isn't that beautiful?" I said to her, I looked at her and saw that she was blushing deep red.

"Did… we just…" I asked her.

"Yeah… we did." She said to me. I blushed and sweat; I looked around, trying to escape this awkward situation and saw the waiter trotting towards us with our meal.

"Oh look! Our food is here!" I said. She went back to her seat, still blushing and the waiter placed our food on the table.

"Enjoy your meal, sir and madam." I nodded to the waiter and he trotted away. We ate our food silently, and then Redheart broke the silence

"Would you like some of my pie?" She said to me, I smiled to her and said.

"Sure, I'd like to. Thank you, Redheart." I took some of her pie and ate it. For the first time in my life, Redheart was the only pony that I can easily talk to, and somehow… I feel safe around her, I feel like peaceful and something like that… Some mares like me for mating purposes, and she haven't made a move on me yet. Which is a good thing since she's the first one that doesn't like me for my dick. The Mane 6 are really great friends and aren't really that bad but sometimes, they make a move on me. Fluttershy already got Ryan and mated with each other. Well…

"Mmm… This pie is really good. *Nom nom nom*" she giggled, the salad that I ate a while ago was delicious, so is this pie.

We finished our food and laid back for a while, watching the fireworks outside the window.

"They're beautiful, aren't they?" She said to me.

"Yes they are…" I looked to the right to see the waiter with the bill. Redheart read it and said.

"20 bits? Hmmm… Okay." She took out coins from her bag, my eyes turned green and I asked

"What are bits? Are those like your currency?"

"Yes, they are."

"Wow… Wait, are those coins pure gold?" She nodded to me.

"Nice! A gold coin can cost a fortune in our world!" I said excitedly

"How much?" she asked

"One gold coin can cost like a thousand dollars."

"Dollars? Is that your currency in your world?"

"No, in where I live it is. In our world there are different currencies. Pesos, Yen, Euros and etc."

"That's amazing, Ray. Come on, let's go." She said to me. We left the café and walked through the streets.

"It seems like ponies are returning back to their homes." I said

"Yeah, normally, ponies don't stay this late."

"Well, what're we gonna do now?" I asked her

"Well, I have to return to the hospital. My second shift just began."

"Okay, I'll see later you later, Redheart." She trotted towards me and gave me a hug. We then walked away. When suddenly, I was knocked back by Rainbow Dash.

"Ow… my nose…" I said, rubbing my nose.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, Ray! I was gonna check you at the hospital. I heard that you crashed, are you alright?" She asked me, she helped me up and I said

"Yeah, I'm alright Rainbow. Say, have you seen the Mane 6?"

"Well, they're at the castle, waiting for you."

"I was gonna return there. Hey, Rainbow… I've been meaning to ask you this…"

"What is it?" She asked blushing.

"LAST ONE TO THE CASTLE IS A ROTTEN EGG!" I shouted and ran to the castle with super speed.

"OH NO YOU DON'T" Then Rainbow Dash followed me. We avoided different obstacles but the last one was hard.

"RAINBOW! CAN YOU HANDLE THIS?!" I shouted back to her. In front of us was a bunch of trees and suddenly, time slowed down. I avoided the heavily dense trees with such skills. After I finally got out of the trees, I landed at the front of the castle door. Well, we ended up in a tie.

"Wow… *pant* *pant* you were great out there, Rainbow *huff* Dash!" I said, exhausted from the race.

"So were *pant* *pant* you…" She said to me. We walked in the castle and I wondered, I hope that Ryan will be alright, since I knew the he almost got raped by Dark again. Jesus, where is he now?

Ryan's POV

Unknown Location, Unknown Time

I woke up to see the aura gone and to see that I'm in grassland. But something was not right…

The grass and plants are dead, the sky was black and even the sun was black. It gave me a chill on my spine. I walked around the fields for a while, trying to go back to Canterlot but to no avail. When suddenly I heard a voice call out to me, like someone whispered to my ear. I turned around but to see no one there. Then again, I heard that voice again.

"Human… Come to me."

All of a sudden, I wasn't in control of my body anymore. Someone was controlling it, an aura engulfed my arms and legs.

"OH COME ON! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO THIS?!" I shouted, the voice doesn't seem to respond. My leg started to move on their own; I started to go with the flow and ignored my legs. I just watched everything, like those dead trees, horrifying creatures, rocks and stuff. The horrifying creature involves the birds; I mean, look at them! They look different, long beaks, sinister eyes and those scary wings, eyes glowing in different color. But they aren't doing anything, they are just chirping and doing normal bird stuff. But still, they look really fucking creepy. I'm like in a fucking parallel world, with evil shit and stuff. If Dark or her father did this for shits and giggles, I will be MAD. I mean, no shit, I can recite the oath of the Red Lanterns anytime! Wait, it doesn't work that way… Oh well!

I walked for like a limited time and saw a town up ahead. When I got near, the cottages looked different than in Pony Ville. All of them are colored black, red or green… Which is really fucking creepy… they also have iron fences.

And then after a while of walking and stuff, I was greeted by two unicorn colts guarding a large gate. They look like the soldiers at Canterlot but… Their eyes are glowing?

"WHO ARE YOU, CREATURE?! What is your business here?! SPEAK NOW!" The one on the right shouted.

"EY! I don't want to fight. I come in peace." I said, before the guards can even say anything, the voice spoke

"Guards, let him in. Don't worry, I have him under control."

"Understood, sir." The guards both said at the same time. They opened the gate and my legs are still pulling me and moving on their own. As I walked through the streets, I saw several weird ponies looking at me. Their fur, all dark… orange, red and several colors that to me is really strange and creepy. Like a town filled with creepiness…

I kept walking until I heard a filly say to her mother

"Mommy, what is that creature?"

"Oh, I don't know deary. But, it he is strange and I would like to be its host." She said looking at me.

"Alright… This place is getting creepier and creepier by the minute." I thought to myself.

"What an ugly creature!" I heard a colt say about me.

"Hey, shut the fuck up!" I shouted, he gave me a killer stare and gave him a cold and deadly stare, he backed up, scared.

"I will kill you, creature!" He said to me

"Ha! Bring it!" I said to him, I broke free of the spell that the voice gave me and I turned to a Red Lantern

"BRING IT! RAHH!" I shouted, expelling blood and vomiting. The colt backed up, shivering.

"THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT!" I reverted back. And then the spell then came back.

"Wait… did I just became a Red Lantern without reciting the oath? Oh man, I'm so confused now" I thought to myself. I continued walking; the mares were giving me seductive look while the colts and stallions are giving me angry looks. I ignored them and continued walking. After 5 minutes of walking, I stopped and the aura vanished, I looked up to see that I was standing in front of a black cottage.

"Oh Jesus… What now?" I asked myself,

"Ahhh, Human… It is you at last, please come in." The voice called out to me, I placed my hand on the door and took a big gulp down my throat. I opened the door only to see a stallion sitting at a couch. He has dark green fur, brown glowing eyes, his mane was orange and he has a triangle with 3 dots for a cutie mark. He trotted towards me and observed me like a freaking specimen.

"Hmmm… You are strange, human. Dark was right."

"Yeah, I get that a lot. Say, are you the legendary Night Unicorns that I've heard about?" I asked

"Yes, we are, human. We hide ourselves from the other regular ponies because of our unstable magic and our hunger for spiritual energy."

"Yeah, uh-huh…"

"So tell me about yourself, human."

"My name is Ryan Wilson, I'm from Earth." I answered him.

"Fascinating! I am Greenfall, but you can call me Green, Mr. Wilson."

"Nice to meet you, Green. Where am I, anyway?"

"You're in our town called the Night Forge. That place where you awoke? That place is called Nightbane Glades, it is located at the darkest corner of Equestria where nopony ever dared to discover, and we were just preparing for a celebration."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. And I'm just so happy that Dark is finally home, ever since she was just a little filly, she dreamt of meeting another creature that is not from Equestria. One time, she didn't tell us that she was leaving and just vanished, I never thought that I would ever see her again." He said to me. Suddenly, a thought hit me like a fucking missile.

"WAIT, IS DARK HERE?!" I said

"No, she's at Nightbane Glades, helping for the celebration."

"WHAT?! OH COME ON! NOW SHE'S GONNA FUCK ME AGAIN LIKE CRAZY!"

"Don't worry; I'll try to talk to her."

"Whew… Thanks, Green. I don't even like her! And oh, between you and me… I have already someone I truly love; she's one of the pegasi. But please don't tell her, I'll fucking die if she knows this."

"WHAT?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT KIND OF DANGER YOU PUT YOURSELF INTO?!" He whispered loudly.

"SHUSH! Just don't tell anyone. Okay?!" I whispered to him.

"Okay, I'll keep it. But I warned you, if she knows that you loved another pony rather than her…" He leaned in closer to my ear.

"…PREPARE FOR UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES…" He whispered to my ear, that sentence burned into my head. He trotted away from me and said

"Would you like some tea, Ryan?"

"Yes… T-That would be nice." He went to the kitchen while I sat on the couch. What Green said to me haunted my mind,

"… PREPARE FOR UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES…"

"If it means everything… I WILL." I said to myself, I couldn't believe what just happened.

So May God Help Me…

Meanwhile, Somewhere Located at the Nightbane Glades

"Sister, what a bad timing. I almost had him!" Dark said with annoyance.

"Well, sister. We know that you really do love him, but this is more important than him! Now let's get back to work." Red said to her. Dark sighed, thinking about the kinky things she would do with Ryan. When suddenly, a dark aura began surrounding her, she closed her eyes and opened them again with glowing eyes.

"Sister! I'm sensing something strange all of a sudden… Wait…" She said to Red, she grew a smirk on her face.

"What is it, sister?" Red asked her,

"I can sense Ryan's presence here. Father must've summoned him here! FINALLY No one can stop me now! Not even everyone I know! HAHAHAHA!" She shouted in extreme excitement.

"Can I have him, sister?"

"NO! HE'S ALL MINE!"

"Aww…"

"Yes… NOW I CAN MILK HIM DRY LIKE THE DESERT! I'M COMING FOR YOU, LOVER… JUST WAIT…" She said, with the look on her face.

Back to Ryan,

Dark Fusion's Cottage, Unknown Time

"GAH!" I shouted, I looked at the place only to see that I am safe. Green trotted out of the kitchen and asked

"Ryan? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah… It's just that I heard that Dark is coming for me."

"A vision?"

"No… It's like a hunch or something."

"Well, anyway, here's the tea." Green gave me a cup of tea, I took a sip and it was delicious.

"Thanks for the tea, Green." I thanked him,

"You are welcome, Ryan." We talked for a while, after that, I emptied the cup and stretched.

"*yawn* Well, thanks for everything, Green. Look, I'm tired; I'll just take a nap." I said to him

"Just take a nap on the couch, Ryan. I'll be outside and lock the doors so Dark and Red will not mate with you." He said to me, I nodded. He trotted outside and locked the door. I removed my shoes and laid on the couch. I closed my eyes and took a nice nap.

Ray's POV

Canterlot Castle Throne Room, 11:30 PM

"Ryan is missing?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Yes! We searched for him everywhere! From this castle to the streets of Canterlot!" Ray said in worry

"Hmmm… We have to find him." Twilight said to me.

"My guards will help on the search for Ryan. Don't worry, we'll find him eventually.

"PRINCESS, PLEASE HELP US! I DON'T WANT RYAN TO BE GONE FOREVER!" Fluttershy shouted in a quiet voice, she sobbed on the floor. Rarity trotted towards her and patted her on the back.

"Don't worry, Fluttershy. We'll find Ryan…" She said to her, she continued to sob

What ever happened to Ryan, I'm sure that it's Dark's fault. If we know someone that could have kidnapped him, that would be her. Oh Dear God, please help Ryan…

Back to Ryan

"Ryan… Wake up."

I opened my eyes to see Max again in front of me,

"I forgot to mention that you can freely turn into any lantern you want without reciting the oaths."

"But then I'll be granted unlimited power! Which is a little too early for that."

"When you face the 9 opponents, the ring will start to form its symbol, granting you the power. But you can freely change into any lanterns without forming the symbol. Just channel your emotions into the ring and it will turn you to the lantern depending on what your emotions are." He explained to me

"So I can freely change without the ring giving me the final power?" I asked, he nodded

"The ring will form the symbol if you are facing the 9 opponents already. But the lanterns are weaker if you use them."

"But why did you tell me this now? You could've just told me the last time we talked." I said to him

"Uhhh… yeah… I forgot about that." He smiled to me. Then he began to vanish

I woke up and stretched. I stood up and saw that nobody was still around. I wonder if Ray and the others are alright. I hope that they wouldn't worry that much about me.

I was getting bored already so I decided to listen to some peaceful music. I grabbed my ear buds and listened to Love Story Meets Viva La Vida by Jon Schmidt

It was kind of peaceful and soothing to the soul… It kinda reminds me of Fluttershy… Oh, how I miss her already. I cannot believe that I gave her my virginity… Oh man, may God forgive me for my sins…

After the song ended, I looked around and saw a piano beside me.

"Why not?" I said to myself. So I stood up and opened the cover of the piano. I then started to play the piece Siege of Madrigal by Martin O' Donnell from Halo.

It's been a loooong time since I played my piano back at Earth. I loved this song, it reminds me of the heroic things that I've done… Well… not that much.

*Knock* *Knock*

I heard a knock through the door,

"Who is it?" I called out.

"YOUR LOVER" I heard Dark through the door.

"OH COME ON!"

Well… This can't be good really….
