Well after that little scene, I decided to walk around a bit more. Though, there was a noticeable lack of ponies milling about.

*Odd... why would they be-* A nasty chill runs up my spine as an ice cold breeze passes by. *That must be why, are they getting ready for winter? I wonder...* At the time Pinkie’s place was the closest I could walk to. So I made my way to there to find it was closed. I looked into the windows with no avail. *Must be that then. Pinkie usually has this open all the time.* I remove myself from the window and head back home. during the walk home I couldn’t shake that stupid feeling that something was watching me. I just ignored it and went on my way…

I got home without incident, which was pretty surprising. Since trouble loves to visit me at the worst of times. It even started snowing when I made it inside. I was about call out to Chrysi but someone sitting in the living room decided to make a surprise visit. He was looking at the fireplace, which was burning at the moment, so he hadn’t noticed me yet.

“Gabriel?” He whips his head around.

“Ember! It’s so great to see you again!” He gets up from the chair he was sitting on, walks over to me, and wraps his arms around me in a man-hug. I was a little too stunned to even return the hug. “So how’s it been? Good I hope?” He says when he lets me go.

“Uh… It’s been good.” I say when my mind rebooted. “It’s good to see you again too.”

“I know right!? It’s been a while!”

“... It’s only been a few days since you left.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.” Ga- Golden puts a hand to his chin.

“I guess the time difference between this and my world are different?”

“What? You mean time in your place passes by faster than here?” He nods. “Huh… cool, I guess. How long has it been for you?”

“A few months.”

“Wow. I guess that proves it. So what did you do when you got back to your word?”

“Oh ! the funny thing about that. Turns out my family almost took me off life support when I came too.”

“Really?” He nods. “Heh, did you feel an unimaginable amount of pain when you woke up?”

“Surprisingly not, I just felt a little sore.” Fuck that would've been funny if he was in a shit-ton of pain. What? I got a morbid sense of humor, lay off. Besides, he didn't die so that’s a plus.

“Cool.”

“So what’s been going on here?”

“Not much, it’s already winter here.” At the mention of winter he straightens up. “What?”

“Dude, that reminds me.”

“What?”

“You’re on the show!”

“... Excuse me?”

“You’re on the fucking show that’s about this place!”

“Really..?”

“Yeah!”

“... Huh. Cool. Does it show where I come in?” He nods.

“Yeah, some portal spat you out and you fell, a lot.” Finally I find out how I exactly showed up in a field. “And then the mane six found you, they wanted to ask what you were but you were knocked out, then Twilight decided to drag you for some reason.”

“You think she would've carried me huh?”

“Yeah, I don’t know why she didn’t do that. Anyway, the episode continued with you waking up, that little standoff with Rainbow, it even showed how you scared her!”

“Awesome.” I smirk.

“Yeah, and then it ended with you being introduced to the town.”

“Is that it?”

“For that episode it is.”

“Wait, I’m more episodes?”

“Yep!”

“Huh, I don’t know how to feel about that...”

“Dude! You should be fucking elated! Your appearance caused an entire shit-storm! People were going crazy about a human being brought into My Little Pony! It even got bigger when I came into the picture!”

“You realize if I was a normal person I would’ve passed out?”

“Who cares!? WE’RE IN A FUCKING CARTOON SHOW!” He practically jumps in the air like a Justin Bieber fan girl.

“Calm down and stop acting like a One-direct fan-girl.” He immediately freezes.

“That’s not cool, dude.”

“Shut up. To change the fucking subject. How did your family react to you not being dead.”

“They were elated to say the least. We were actually spending the few months together in a big vacation.” He finishes with a heartfelt smile.

“Nice. Did you tell them about this place?”

“Yeah, they didn't believe me at first, then I showed them the episode after I saw it. Oh! That reminds me. The little bit with Pipsqueak, that was cute man.”

“Uh… Who’s Pipsqueak?”

In some random building, many people sneeze.

“‘Who’s Pipsqueak’!? He’s one of the most beloved characters of My Little Pony! He’s the foal that asked what you were a while back.”

“Oh! Him! Now I remember. And you know I’m not a fan of the cartoon right?” Even though I watched the cartoon for research purposes.

“Oooooh yeaaaah... Right.” He pauses. “Eh... Whatever. Hey, where's that changeling? Isn’t she supposed to be living with you?”

“She’s in Canterlot because her hive might be coming to take her back when she doesn’t want to.”

“...”

“Oh… Well fuck.”

“Tell me about it. At this point I’m just waiting for them to show up.”

“What are you gonna do if they do?”

“I don't know, maybe go on a killing spree if they don’t see reason? or maybe talk to them if they want to?”

“Makes sense, except for the whole ’killing spree’.”

“I can always drive them off then.”

“That sounds better.”

“Fucking pansy.”

“Fuck you! What if they don’t want to fight? Or, you know. DIE!?”

“As if that would would matter at this point.”

“On this world it does!”

“Oh. Right. Meh...” A knock some from my front door.

“Who’s that?”

“I don’t know, I wasn’t expecting anybody today.” I walk over to the door and open it. Two ponies are standing there, their eyes widen when they see me. The one on the left as a brown stallion with a lighter brown mane and tale, with hazel eyes. The other is a plain blue with a black and grey striped mane. His shrunken eyes are a light grey.

“Can I help you?” The blue one regains his composure.

“Uh, yes, you can. Have you seen a changeling around here? Or a new pony around?”

“No, I haven’t, why are you looking for such a creature? Last I heard they were banished to the badlands.” Thank fucking christ I remember that bit from the show.

“That was a different hive, the one we are looking for comes from a different hive.”

“The fuck’s a hive?”

“Listen!” The blue one shouts. “Have you seen a bucking changeling or not!?”

“How about you go fuck yourself? Then come back when you’re in a better mood.” I slam the door in their faces.

“Who was it?”

“Just two fuckboys.” I hear an explosion from behind and the door flies by me, but some stroke of luck not hitting me. I spin around and the two stallions are now changelings.

“Holy fuck!” Golden shouts.

“Bad choice.” I say and the gauntlets form again. The two changelings rush me, their maws open and fangs bared. Aimed right my face. I side-stepped and landed a solid hail maker on both their backs. They slam into the ground and tumble across the floor, until they hit the wall across the hall. Both of them quickly stood up and lunged at me again. This time I uppercutted with both fists, sending both of them towards the ceiling, cracks form around the points of impact, then they both… just hang their. Their limbs flail, and I start laugh my ass off.

“Ember look out!” I hear Golden yell. I open my eyes and the changelings managed to dislodge themselves. And their running straight at me.

*Alright, ass-kicking time.* I side-step again and think of a way to end this as soon as possible.

These bugs really like to lunge, they just keep lunging at me. At one point I they lunge again and I clawed at them, my gauntlets raking across both their bodies. They scream in pain and slump to the floor, a grey goo leaking from the wounds. I walk closer to them, and a limb twitches. I back up as they weakly stand, both of them giving me angry stares. Seeing that they give up. I straighten up and wave my hand to the door. At this point I want the fuck out of my house.

“Hey, I honestly got no clue where the changeling is. Doesn’t mean ya have to fucking attack me, dickwads.” I say to them as they make their way to the forest. Of course I had to lie about that! Hopefully chrysi didn’t tell them about me, wait of course they don’t. they would’ve known who and what I was.

Plus it would be a bad idea to kill them now that I think about it. It wouldn’t be the best thing to cause an invasion on Ponyville. The changelings raise an eyebrow at me. But they eventually take their leave. Once they’re out my house I pick up the door they blew off.

-Fucking assholes.-

=Ya got that right.=

*Yeah, is there a way to fix this using magic?*

~Yes there is, just put the door back in its place, please.~

*Alright.*

“What the fuck was that!?”

“What was what?”

“That! Why did you let them go!?”

“Do you want an entire hive of changelings after you?” He clams up. “Thought so, I let them go for that reason.”

“It does make a bit of sense. Now that I think about it. What’ll you think will happen now?”

“I honestly have no clue.”

“Oh, ok. You know, that’s the first time I hear you say that.”

“No shit sherlock.”

“You really have no idea?” That’s when I flip a little.

“Do you really expect me to have an idea on what’s to come? I’m living in a world filled a completely new species, way of life, and I different culture all together! How tha FUCK do you expect me to always think of what to do!? Especially when I’m dealing with something no human has ever fucking experienced!?” I almost turned into the living fire-being with that little rant of mine. It scared the fuck out of Golden, but seriously, how the fuck can anyone expect me to always know what to do? Especially given my current situation? I barely know shit about this place, much less when it comes to changelings. Or any species on this planet.

“Woah, chill out dude.” He backs up a bit and holds his hands up.

“Sorry, but seriously, stop asking me what I think will happen. It’s annoying.”

“Alright. You ok?”

“I’m fine. Fuck I needed to let that out.”

“I can tell.”

“No shit.” I turn back around to fix the door, to my surprise the door’s already in place, hinges and all. *Huh, cool.*

“Where are you going?”

“Back to my room.”

“For what?”

“I'm workin’ on some shit.”

“Like what?”

“Making a computer.” *And possibly a way to upgrade the nanomites running around in my blood.*

~There is a way for you to do that?~

*I’m pretty sure there is. I just may have to learn a shrinking spell, does a spell like that exist?*

~Yes, but, why do you need a spell like that?~

*I need it for something.*

“A computer!? Here!?” Oh, yeah. Those machines tend to be non-existent around here.

“Yeah, come with me.” I motioned for him to follow me and he does. I lead him to my room and turn the lights on. Revealing the machine in its full glory in the center of the room. I walk over to it and turn it on.

“Alright, that’s fucking awesome. How did you get one here?” I smirk, snap my fingers and a cooling fan appears in my hand. Golden stares at me dumbly until the dots connect. “No… no fucking way… You built it!?”

“Yeah.”

“HOW!?” I toss him a large book I got from behind the desktop.

“Instructions can go a long way.”

“That’s still pretty epic. How is it even on though?” I reach behind the thing and pick up the crystal powering it. I notice it’s not glowing brightly so I give it some magic, bringing back the nice amethyst glow.

“Magic can be converted to other types of energy, in this case electrical energy.” I state matter-of-factly.

“Wow...”

“I know right? Thought, I need to come up with a more sustainable source of energy.”

“Why? Isn’t magic good enough?”

“There needs to be a constant flow of magic to power the desktop. And since there’s no way I can create a machine that can do such a thing I need to find another source.”

“What about solar energy?”

“I can’t do that, the flying ponies around would question what the black squares on top of the house are.”

“You mean pegasi?”

“Yeah, that.”

“Hm… I guess you only got magic until you find some other way huh?” Clap my hands and point at him.

“Bingo genius!”

“Shut up.”

“Fuck you, anyway. I think I’m good with how it’s set up for now.”

“Cool, how did the girls react to this? If you’ve showed them?”

“I did, and Twilight had a nerdgasm, much like how you did.”

“That’s no surprise.”

“I kinda figured since she’s the smart one of the group. Rainbow looked like she could care less.” Golden snickers at that. “And Rarity, Aj, Pinkie and Flutters were mildly interested.”

“Cool. Do you plan to show this to the town? Or- *gasp* We could mass produce these and sell them! We-” I stop him right there.

“Woah, calm down pony-boy. I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“Why not!?”

“Would you want to see this place gain a sudden technological advancement? Changing their way of life in a mere few years? Think of the backlash man!”

“What ‘backlash’?”

“Did you fall the fuck asleep in history class? Look at what technology, more specifically industrialization, has done to the planet! Do you really want to see that shit happen to this place?”

“But… how do you know that would happen.”

“It’d be bound to happen, ponies are no different to humans! Just add magic and we’re just like them.”

“Oh… you’re right...”

“Thank you.”

“Then, why did you build a computer?”

“Ehh it was mostly out of boredom.”

“The other part?”

“I like to keep it around as a reminder as to what and who I am. I rather like my humanity.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Huh, I guess that’s kinda noble.”

“Eh… I think of it more like, ‘keeping my fucking humanity’.”

“Alright alright! I get it.”

“Just stop trying to use words you don’t know the meaning to.”

“I do know what nobel means.”

“Then don’t use words out of context.”

“Alright, just lay off.”

“Ok.”

“... So… You working on anything else?”

“You gonna keep asking me questions all day?”

“No.”

“Good, I plan to, in a sense, ‘upgrade’ my body.”

“How?” I give him a serious look. “Sorry.”

“Don’t worry about it. Did I ever tell you about all the little robots running around in my blood system?” He shakes his head. “Oh, well I do, and they essentially make me a superhuman. And I plan to upgrade those little robots.”

“How are going to do that?”

“With science, robotics, and a little bit of magic.” I smile broadly.

Author's Notes:

I just saw this story a few more dislikes after I comment a blog. Really? I honestly don't think it's because of that, but I can't help my... paranoia I guess and call it? Meh...

Also, I had to rewrite this particular chapter, the first two times I didn't like where it was going, thank god I finally decided to do some character building, lest you'd see this chapter come out a few weeks later. And I'm gonna try to keep updates to at least one chapter a week.
