Listen only to the sound of my voice. Let your mind relax. Let your thoughts drift. Let the bad memories fade. Surrender yourself to your dreams. Let them wash over you like the gentle waves of the bluest ocean. Let them envelop you. Comfort you. Let peace be upon you. You are in control. Imagine somewhere calm. Imagine somewhere safe. Imagine yourself in a Frozen Forest. You are standing in a clearing. The trees are so tall they touch the sky. Pure white snowflakes fall all around. You can feel them melt on your skin. You are not cold. It cannot overcome the warmth of your beating heart. Can you hear it? You only have to listen. Do you hear it slowing? You are slowing it. You are in control. Calm at peace.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I shouted loud after hearing the voices in my head again. Rain, the rain dropped on my face. I felt cold and wet. Rain? Where am I? I thought to myself looking around. I was in a forest ... again ... or still? This couldn´t be the frozen forest anymore. The frozen forest, it was ... only a place where the test subjects found their peace. It was created as Corvus (the artificial intelligence) streamed the minds, thoughts and memories of the test subjects. I could hearing voices coming a few steps away.

"Don´t worry, you are save now." Said an unknown voice. I never heard that voice before. It sounded like a female voice. It couldn´t be Corvus, because Taylor and his Team destroyed "it."

"Hello? Is someone there?" I heard my yells echoing.

"Taylor? Maretti? Sarah? Sebastian? Is there anybody? Anyone? Please say something if you are here!" My mind was dazed.

Where are these voices coming from? I asked myself. I noted that always if I got closer to a tree I could hear them. It seemed that they coming out of the trees. Just Like in the Frozen Forest.

"WE´VE ALL BEEN USED DON´T YOU SEE THAT? AS WE PUT THIS SHIT INSIDE OUR HEAD WE SOLD OUR SOULS TO WHOEVER HOLDS THE KEYS! This time ... I am the bad guy." Said a second unknown voice.

"Taylor? Whoever can hear me? Please help me. I want to end this! I want to go out here. This needs to be stop! Please help me! Taylor? Please answer me! If you are here please answer me!" I shouted louder and louder ... no answer.

"Don´t worry my little human ... don´t let it beat you, you are in good hooves right now."

"WHAT? WHO IS THERE?" And did I heard right? In "good hooves?"

"Taylor? Was that you? Answer me, whoever this voice is please answer me! PLEASE TALK TO ME PLEASE!" I still was running through this dark and cold forest. The storm became stronger, the wind colder.

"Hehehe, it is only a test, heheeh I know it is ... a simulation of course ... hehehe." No no stop Jack you become crazy. That needs to be stop immediately. Why is that so hard to stop it? How do I stop it?"

"It is actually very simple." Said a familiar voice behind me. This time it was really John Taylor.

"TAYLOR! Where are we? What is this place?" He was standing in front of me grinning.

"Taylor? Hey, John? What is so funny? Is this a simulation too?"

"Well this place? Yes! But don´t worry. You will make a small travel. As I said. Your D.N.I can show you different opinions but YOU have to meet the decisions.

"Which decision? A travel? Where? Where we going?" I asked.

"Me personally nowhere but you ... you will make this travel."

"Me? I don’t want to do this travel. I want to go home. Wait where am I going now?"

"To a much ... better place. A place where you can find your peace. Far away from Earth, the government, the CIA ... everything. And don´t worry, you aren´t dead. Corvus showed us a way to travel through space and time. You will go to another world. Don´t worry you will be save there. I have seen this place before."

"John what do you mean?" Suddenly the ground behind me was disappearing and was breaking in pieces.

"John what is going on what is this?" He was suddenly on the left side.

"Good Luck!" He said and threw me down from the cliff.

"TAYLOOOOOOOOOOOR NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Everything around me went dark.

"Hey, you are still with us?"

"Taylor?" I opened my eyes and I found myself on a bed. It was a bit too small for my person but it was so soft every Military safe house was nothing against this. I stood up and the first thing I note was that everything was made by wood. The walls, the roof the ground. Everything evens the bed. I looked outside the window and it still rained. But the first weird thing was ... the buildings. I never saw buildings like this before. Very small and not very modern... for 2065. I suddenly saw a yellow creature walking.

"Hey?" I shouted out the window. The yellow creature turned his head and was searching before it got my attention. It turned his head to me and yea it looked at me and screamed very loud and ran away. I must be on drugs. Was that a yellow horse? Or at least for his or his size a Pony?

"Ok... ok Jack, everything is fine. This was only another bug on your D.N.I." What was this place? How did I get here? Taylor pushed me from the cliff, I must be dead. One thing for sure, this wasn´t the heaven. Or at least not what I expected. I looked around the room again and noticed a lot of pictures ... only with ponies. Ok something really weird is going on here. There was a picture with 6 different ponies. All of them looked really happy.

"Taylor can you hear me?" But the only thing I could hear was a rustle. "Base please come in this is WA Black Cyber Ops Soldier Jack Wolf is anybody hearing me?" Again only a rustle.

"God dammit, damn technology." I suddenly heard voices. I switched to my Advanced Tactical Mode. I expected a lot but not this was coming up the stairs. I saw 6 ponies coming up the stairs. I took my MR6 pistol and waited for the perfect moment.

These creatures opened the door and...

"You got to be fucking kidding me!" I shouted and I aimed my pistol to the purple pony´s head.

"HUUUUUUH OH MY GOSH TWILIGHT!" Said a white one. Suddenly my pistol was surrounded by a purple aura and my magazine felt out.

"AAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAH WHAT THE F*** AAAAAH!" I shouted and felt back on my back. I wanted to use one of my Cyber Core ability but at the same time I was surrounded by this purple aura too.

"I ... I give up. Please ... I give up!" I said again.

"Hey, hey hey, don´t worry, we are not here to hurt you!" Said the purple horse with her horn and wings.

"YOU ... YOU CAN TALK? No... No that must be a bug ... A BIG MISTAKE!" I was so scared like never before. I walked through mine fields, I was short before to die by an air plane crash but I was never that scared like right now.

"Hey you! Stay cool, let me introduce myself." I am Twilight Sparkle ... the princess of friendship and this here is Rainbow Dash, (the Cyan colored one with rainbow hairs) Apple Jack, (the orange one) Fluttershy (the yellow one which was hiding behind her mane) Rarity (the White one with a perfect mane) and Pinkie Pie (the pink one which ... got too much sugar). We are the Main 6 and at the same time we are the Elements of Harmony."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAh ... sure of course ... Elements of Harmony. Hahahha ... Princess of Friendship ..." I don´t know which brain Corvus streamed first but this was a thousand times more weird than the Frozen Forest itself.

"Let me guess you are a human right?"

"Yea... that´s right. I am Jack Wolf but call me Jack." I said relaxing my mind. There was silent for a moment before I started to ask my first question.

"So Twilight Sparkle..."

"Call me Twilight!" She said and smiled.

"OK Twilight ... my first question is ... how did I get here and what is this place?"

"Well first this is magical world Equestria, I don´t know there was a big light in the sky and suddenly something felt of the sky since them we have this thunderstorm too. You are here for already two days now. Yes you slept two whole days. You can be lucky, that we found you first, I don´t know what other ponies would do if they would have found you first."

"... Ok ..." I thought. OK I am not longer on Earth, I am in a world full of colourful ponies and I slept more than two days. I want to go back to the battlefield. I thought to myself.

"Can I ask you something?" Asked the White Unicorn which was Rarity I guess.

"Yes?"

"What are these Things ...?"

"What do you mean? My arms? Oh ... well, that is a long story, I better explain you that everything later ok? If you don´t mind."

"No, of course not Darling."

Wait? Did she call me Darling? Ok? Why not?

"I guess you are hungry right?" Asked Twilight.

"Yea ... if you don´t mind. Can I have something to eat? Something ... warm?"

"But of course you can ... come on girls let us make him something really good to eat."

"And I have a second question."

"Yes?"

"Can I have a warm bath and a hot shower too?"

"But of course you can. If you go out of this room the door on the left side."

"You can give me your clothing and I guess that´s your armour. I will clean them for you. You will shine like a crystal soldier again. "Said Rarity.

"Thank you, Twilight. Thanks Rarity." I pulled of my shirt and my armour and gave it Rarity. All of the ponies blushed a bit and I think it was because my upper body was naked.

"Yea sorry but ... you know..."

"Don´t worry, everything is fine. You´re welcome." She said smiled and the 6 ponies left the room.

"Take all the time you need. We need some time anyway."

I went to the bathroom. I opened the door and let some hot water in the bathtub, a lot bath foam of course shampoo and shower gel. The bathtub was a bit too small but I will handle this. First I went to the mirror and shaved me on my face and cut my hairs. I looked like a criminal. I knew how to do this because my mom was a hair Stylist. I went into the bathtub lay me down and switched through my Gallery. With my D.N.I I played some Music in my head and relaxed because I don´t think they will have radios here.

While I was relaxing, Rarity came in again and laid my clothing on the desk. I didn´t noticed her because I was so relaxed, I think I felt asleep again.

After two hours I left the bath and pulled my clothing and my armour on again. I looked like a Recruit with my fresh shaved face and my clean armour like I had never visit a battlefield before.

"Dinner is ready!" Shouted Twilight.

"I am coming!" I said. I closed the door and went downstairs. That smells of Food ... aaaaah.

"Oh ... my ... gosh." I said. The table was full of tasty stuff.

"Here Jack. We´ve cooked noodles with egg, bread dumplings, made some salts and some vanilla ice with hot chocolate and crème with cinnamon."

"And some fresh apple cider from sweet apple acres." Said Apple Jack.

"WOW Darling you look so much better now." Said Rarity.

"Oh ... my ... that is ... wow. That´s ... thank you so much." I said.

"Come on, Dig in." She said. And I wouldn´t say me that twice." I ran to the table and ate and ate and ate and ate ... but with bad manners.

"Hmpf hmpf sorry ... hmpf Twilight hmpf but I haven´t seen hmpf any good food hmfp since hmpf 3 days? I don´t know but whoever that cooked. You are phenomenal." This was the best thing I have eaten since years. The food on the army was always not that good. Of course I should have made it like Hendricks a MOD what let you taste everything great but you wouldn´t know what taste good or bad anymore.

After a half hour I was finish with eating. I was so full but it was good Feeling.

"WOW, guys you are really ... wow, that tasted all so good. Perfect. I can´t thank you all enough." I said.

"Hmhmhm I am so glad you liked it." Said Twilight.

"So Jack, you have to answer us a lot of questions you know?"

"Aha which one?" I asked.

"A lot. Maybe in an hour we will sit all together in my living room and we can answer them one after another because I think you will have a lot of questions too, aren´t you?"

"Oh yea I have Twilight, I have ..."

She was right, I had a really lot of questions and I hope they can answer me the most of them... Next Chapter: Chapter 2: Hallucinations, questions and answers Estimated time remaining: 54 Minutes
