why did i land here?
Chapter 4: flight
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAfter the first few faceplants as I got into the air I realized that this was much easier than walking, and seemed to come to me as if second nature, and it was much more fun, sorta like the most amazing dream of flying you could possibly have. After a small amount of time the gave me to stretch my new wings we started off, covering ground with our shadows when I decided to fly through a cloud, I don't know why I wanted to I just did, and as I headed for the nearest cloud, I started to pick up pace, and as i Was about to fly into it I heard from behind me "koty no!", I turn my head around to see which of them said it, and hit the cloud which felt like slamming into a brick wall, and I plummeted to the ground and was nocked out from the impact
When I woke up I couldn't remember the last couple hours, but felt myself being poked, this brought back the events of the day, and I got up with a start, nocking twilight off her feet in the process, when they said to me "we thought that you were dead!, don't ever try to fly into a cloud again!". I got back on my feet and apologized for nocking twilight off her feet, and flew back up into the air, inspecting the cloud I ran into, expecting to find something inside of it but was shocked to find out that it was nothing but cloud, and was firm enough to stand on.
The others had followed me back up to the cloud, and were entertained by my amazement as I stood on what I thought was a airy cloud, so they explained that all pegasi and alicorns were Able to walk on clouds, along with some earth ponies, "Alicorn?" I ask them and they explained that when a equestrian had both wings and a horn they are called alicorns, like me and twilight,
And with this new bit of information we started back to the town next to were I landed.
When we landed in the town in a little park like area, we immediately ran into a new type of equestrian, with the exact same body of a horse on earth, but with a bright pink coat and even brighter frilly mane, this equestrian immediately saw us and ran towards twilight until she saw me, and twilight introduced us to each other, saying that the pink equestrians name was pinkie, and that I, " wait you're gong to have to get a new name, as "koty" didn't sound equestrian, said twilight, I thought as quickly as I could to think of a new name, but got my inspiration when I saw a glimpse of my cutie mark, " Tesla coil" I say, proud of my new name, and introduced myself to pinkie, but got quite a shock when she leaned forward and licked the side of my face, I in a state of shock just took a step back, and twilight starts scolding pinkie like a child, asking here if that is how you treat strangers, pinkie replied that if she knows my name that I'm not a stranger, and as twilight was getting ready to yell at pinkie, she stopped and started to think, and I speak up saying that technically pinkie was right, and this just put twilight into deeper thought pinkie started talking to me, asking where I am from, but I just replied that it was farther away than she could imagine.
Suddenly pinkie got a big smile on her face and yelled "new pony party! Tonight at sunset!" I just look at pinkie going "what?" Twilight told me that what pinkie meant was that she wanted to throw a party because we have a new pony in town. Suddenly I realized what the three balloons that were pinkies cutie mark were, and that she might just be the most energetic anything I'd ever seen or was likely to ever see, as pinkie bounced of like she had springs in her legs I couldn't help myself anymore, and I burst out laughing, twilight asked me what was so funny, and my only reply was that she just went up and licked me! After I settled down I realized I still had my remnants of what were my clothes, and I started going through my pockets the best I could without fingers, and collected any thing that seemed to be useful in one way or another, rainbow dash, who I'd forgotten that she was there, asked me what all the stuff that I got out were, and I replied that the stuff was just random things I kept with me, a knife, string, a bottle of baking soda to put out fires, a fire starter, a container of water purification tablets, a compass ( that was spinning out of control and would be useless here), a pocket reference book that was well worn, some lithium batteries ( nothing for me to use them in), a red pen (YA!), and a laser pointer.
I asked them if we could go back to the crater that I had made when I first landed, so I could see just how hard I could hit, they agreed and we started down the street, after a while of walking as I walked next to a lamp post a lightning bolt flew between me and the pole, and I was so startled that I jumped and landed in a bush of sorts, this time though when rainbow started laughing at me twilight chuckled and asked me why I had jumped, " because I'm not used to lightning just flying out of me, and it surprised me", she helped me up and as we walked she told me that I would have to get used to my powers, and that I won't get hurt when I do accidently discharge my lightning, but what I did was kinda funny that why she laughed at me, the rest of the way to this crater was a silent one, although I avoided all metal items that stuck above the ground.
When we arrived at the crater I realized just how hard I hit, as there was solidified puddles of molten rock and glass, the crater itself was about 20 feet deep and about 40 feet across, But I was also looking for something that I know I had with me when I fell in, but wasn't in the remains of my pants, as I started turning over large stones they asked me what I was looking for, and I replied that when I fell through the portal I had a miniaturized computer with me that I had designed to take the most intense beating and survive, when I suddenly noticed a gleaming item at the far side of the crater, and I glided over to it, " found it!" I called over to the others as I brought it to show them, it was a 6 inch by 4 inch device made of shiny copper, with a large black screen in the center and about twenty buttons on its face, I turned it on and was relieved to see that it still worked, the others huddled around as it powered up, getting its energy from a nuclear decay battery I got from a old pacemaker, and I shut it off because I wanted to reboot the memory later, to see if it had been damaged in any way
We started back to the town and realized it was going to get dark soon so we better head to pinkies party, not wanting to be late, And soon we were at a little bakery that had warm lights glowing inside, making it look cheery and bright, sugarcube corner was the name that was painted on the name sign, and all three of us walked in together.
