After Earth
by Ezio the Assassin
First published
Not an MLP version of After Earth with Will Smith mind you. Nathan was just a normal guy, untill the Rapture. Now he's a pony in Equestria, and living a not-so-normal life.
I was just this normal 15 year old guy with ADHD, Azpergers, and to much time spent on the Internet, until the rapture. I was given 2 choices: Go to Heaven or live again in an alternate universe. I picked live again, since I hadn't even had a chance to get to my twenties (or have sex). I chose Equestria since I love MLP, so now I have to live in Equestria while: not letting anypony know that this was a show, adapting to my new life, and figure out how to not screw up anything. No problem... I hope.
this is starting before the start of Season 5.
Inspired by Kickass222urmom's "Living the Dream"
I own Dax/Nate and a few other OCs that will be added later.
Everything else belongs to Hasbro and The Hub/Discovery Family. (Well almost all of it)

Author's Notes:
This is probably going to suck, please help me make it better in the comments bellow.
"It won't happen, and I can't wait to rub it in your face when we are still here at 12:01 and nothing happened." I say with a smirk.
"It will happen, and you will owe my $100 like we agreed. The rapture will happen tonight, and I'll be laughing right in your face, Nate." Said Mike. We have been friends since fifth grade, when I stood up for him when the school bullies started to beat on him, we got our asses handed to us. We both have bonded as friends since, and have competed with one another to try and get girls, with no success from either of us (damn jocks). Wait, I haven't explained what exactly we're doing. So it's April 1st 2015 and he thinks that the Rapture was today since it never happened in 2012 (Easiest $100 I've ever made).
I look over at our friend Jennifer, who was watching the clock. "What time is it?"
"11:50," she said while she turned to face me, "cash out both of you."
Me and Mike pulled out our $100 and handed it to Jenn, now we sit silently. So I should probably explain how Jennifer became one of my friends. She was a new kid at school, prime target for bullies. The main group of bullies (nicknamed "The Wolf Pack") went right after her, Me and Mike went to try and help her out. So we (to our lack-lust of bravery/stupidity) got in their way, We started to get wailed on, but then Jenn came in and whooped their asses. We became fast friends and it has been that way for four years.
Now it is 11:59.... 12:00. I closed my eyes and jumped up while throwing my head back laughing victoriously, "I told you Mike, I told you." Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but white, "What the?"
"Greetings Nathaniel, you have survived the rapture." Said a disembodied voice. Why dose this sound like an online story I've read... Oh well.
"So it did happen, what happens now?"
"Now you have two options, go to heaven or go to an alternate universe."
"Alternate universe? You mean like going into the universe of a TV show or book?" I asked with enthusiasm, I'm being offered a chance to live again.
"Yes."
"I wish to go to Equestria, but can i go as my OC Dax Blade?" I ask hopefully.
"You may."
"One more question, do I get all of Dax's powers?"
"I will allow it, on one condition." Said the voice (I'm pretty sure it's God that I'm talking to).
"What is your condition, my lord." I ask with a bow.
"You will use your powers for good, not your own selfish desires."
"I agree to your condition, I will use my powers to help the inhabitants of Equestria and the other countries of their world." I say as I put my hand on my heart.
"Now, time to go." Said God, as I got enveloped in white light.
Next stop, Equestria.
Chapter 1: Many Meetings
Author's Notes:
So as you can tell, the helpful comments you guys have posted won't be read for a few chapters (not sure how many chapters. Also, I can only work on this a school... the Universe fricking hates me.)
I opened my eyes, I was in a forest. I put my hoof up to my muzzle to wipe the sleep out of my eyes... WAIT HOOF? MUZZLE? I looked at my body and saw that I was a pony. I was shocked to say the least, then the events of a few minutes ago came back to me. "I'm in Equestria, THIS IS AWESOME!!!"
I trotted over to a pool of water to get a good look at myself. I had a black body, red eyes, black horn with silver design, black wings with silver tips, and a silver mane with a blood red stripe going along it (Same design for the tail). I was Dax Blade, just as I had imagined him. I flew up to get a look around, then I saw a small town. I started to approach the town, but then I remembered, there are only 4 Alicorns and they're all female. So, I used my magic to hide my horn and continued flying toward Ponyville. As i approached I saw Twilight's castle, DAMN IT'S HUGE! I then saw a rainbow blur, "Gee, I wonder who that is" I said sarcastically.
I flew in the direction the blur went (Look out Dash, here's brony). I only had to go a few yards till I found her on a cloud, relaxing (figures, wait, I know I've seen this before online. What was that story again? I'll remember later). "Hello, i was just passing by when I saw you speed through the air, what's your name?" Really Nate, did you really just say that. Think before you speak again.
She look at me, "I'm Rainbow Dash, and you are?" She pointed at me lazily.
"I'm Dax Blade. I've heard of you before, you're the fastest Pegasus in Equestria and the only one able to do a Sonic-Rain-boom." Better Nathan, not much but better.
She looked at me with pride in her eyes, "Yep that's me, where are you from?"
Shit, gotta come up with a back-story, come on imagination, work. "I don't remember, I woke up a month ago with no memory other that speech, my name, and how to fly." Come on Amnesia back-story, don't fail me now.
"That's to bad, I'm sure it'll come back." She said, seeming to buy it. YES!
"I gotta go, see yah later." Gotta leave before I screw something up.
"See yah." She said.
I flew away and landed right in front of the ruin of the Golden Oak Library. I shed a tear, it was such a sad moment. I wish it hadn't been destroyed, but then we wouldn't have had the whole Twilight Vs Tirek Super Saiyan smack down in Twilight's Kingdom. Anyway back to story, I went toward Sweet Apple Acres, since I've met Rainbow Dash, might as well meet the other pony with Princess Alura from Voltron Force (wait, was it them or Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie? Oh well, back to the story).
As I approached, I saw Applejack apple bucking over in the orchard like she does in the show (it must suck to be one of those trees, cause that looks REALLY painful). I walked (or trotted) over to her, as I neared she looked up at me and walked (trotted) over toward me with a friendly smile. "Howdy, mah name is Applejack, what's your's?"
"I'm Dax Blade, I saw you bucking those trees just now, you're really strong." Nate, work on your introductions, this is just sad.
"Thanks Dax, what brings yah by Sweet Apple Acres?" She asked.
"I was just looking around town, I'm new to town." Well at least I'm not lying yet, then this will get awkward.
"Well Dax, welcome ta Ponyville, where are yah from?" she asked with a little touch of intrigue.
"I don't know, I woke up a few months ago and only knew my name, how to speak, gender, and fly." Please buy it.
"Well that's terrible, ah'm so sorry for yuh. is there anything I can do for yuh?" She asked sympathetically. YES IT WORKED!
"No thanks, it was nice meeting you, but I should get going."
"Okay, come again some time." she said as she turned back to her work.
I left there quickly, and flew toward Fluttershy's Cottage. When I got there, I was still going to fast and crashed into the ground. the last thing i heard was Fluttershy saying "Oh dear, are alright mister?" then darkness.
Chapter 2: Many Meetings part 2
Author's Notes:
Thanks for the favorites, likes, and critiques. I'll work on making this story better (will still probably suck), but until then I'll just try to make it bearable.
This will mostly be dialog. yay (sarcasm)
You guys will be able to vote who I ship with, The choices are Mane 6, Celestia, Luna, or an OC.
Pain, that is what greeted me when I awoke, lots and lots of pain. I opened my eyes to see that I was in a room with a window, wood walls, wood floor, a nice sized bed, and a few more furnishings. I was in a room of Fluttershy's cottage, I think it was the one the CMC were in in "Stare Master". I started to sit up, but went right back down. Note to self, don't do any fast flying till YOU LEARN TO FUCKING BREAK NATHAN!!
I heard the sound of hooves coming from outside the door, then the door opened and in walked Fluttershy. She looked at me and smiled, "Good, you're awake. How do feel?"
"Like I got run over by a train." I reply with a grunt as I sit up, ignoring the pain.
"Oh dear, that bad?" She said with a tone of sympathy.
"Yeah, I'm glad you got to me when you did."
"Well I couldn't just leave you there, I help anypony that needs it." Said Fluttershy with a smile. (Cuteness level: IT'S OVER 9,000)
"Thanks, what is your name?"
"I'm Fluttershy, what is your name sir?"
"Dax Blade, pleased to meet you Fluttershy." I say with a grateful smile.
"I hope you don't mind, but I have some questions I want to ask." Fluttershy said a little timidly.
"Like what?"
"Are you really an Alicorn?" FUCK!
"Yeah, but don't tell anyone. I don't want a ton of attention focused on me."
"Okay Dax, I won't."
"Thanks, so how long was I out?" Please don't be more than a day, PLEASE don't be more than a day!
"About twelve hours." She came over with some food and put in on the nightstand next to me. "You should eat, you need to keep up your strength."
"Okay, thanks." I say, then I inhaled all the food she had brought. "I guess I was hungry," I said with a sheepish grin, "But I should get going. I have a lot of things to do, pe-ponies to see."
"Okay, just be careful." She said with a bit of a motherly tone. (This sounds like a shity fan fiction.)
I nodded, got up, and left. I then cloaked my horn and flew to Sugarcube Corner.
As I neared Sugarcube Corner, I feel something watching me (probably Pinkie Pie). Then, my vision is filled with pink (yep definitely Pinkie).
"Hello, I'm Pinkie Pie, welcome to Ponyville. You must be new around here, because I know everypony in Ponyville and i don't know you. What is your name?" That was all said in the span of three seconds, thank God I learned how to decipher that kind of fast talk a long time ago.
"I'm Dax," I stuck my hoof out to her, which she shook like Applejack did with Twilight in episode one. "nice to meet you Pinkie."
"Nice to meet you to Dax. Where are you from?"
"I don't know, I woke up on day over in the Everfree forest with just a hand full of information for memories." Please don't break the fourth wall yet, PLEASE!
"That's sad, so have you met Zacora yet?"
"I don't know, who is Zacora?"
"She's a Zebra that lives in the Everfree."
"Nope, until a few hours ago I hadn't met many other ponies."
"Okay well i gotta go, bye Nathan."
"Bye... wait what?!?!"
"I read the first chapter."
"Don't tell anyone, Pinkie promise me you won't tell another living soul about this unless I say so."
Then Pinkie went through the motions and said "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."
"Thank you Pinkie, now I'm gonna go to Rarity's place, where is that?"
"That way." She points right at it down the street a ways.
"Thanks, See yah later Pinkie Pie." I say as I gallop over to the Carousel Boutique.
"That's all for this part mares and stallions." Said Pinkie to the audience.
