It was a perfectly normal day. I was sitting on my front porch, eating a Popsicle while playing on my Nintendo DS. It had been a while since I played Pokèmon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness, so I decided to just start a new game to remember the basics. I had just finished the test, me being quirky.

A quirky person like you should be a... Cyndaquil!

"Yay" I said quietly to myself, as my phone buzzed with a text message. I pulled it out of my pocket, putting the now finished Popsicle (or at least the stick) on the table. I opened my phone, reading the text. "Warhammer. My house. Now."

I sighed. Leaving my stuff at his house was actually a really good idea. I put my head inside for a second, shouting to my parents, "I'm going to Alex's to Warhammer! Be back later, I'll text you!". After hearing their reply of consent, I ducked out of the house and ran to my bike, leaving my DS on the table outside. I was too busy running to my bike to see the man looking at the DS screen on the table.

"Cyndaquil..." he said, stroking his chin.

I rode my bike as fast as possible up the street. It took a good 10 minutes to get there, and I didn't want to be late, so I just went as fast as possible. I didn't even notice that all of the people I passed were the exact same man who was on my porch. I just had to get there fast.

"Excuse me!" a man called, running up beside me. "Could you spare a moment?"

"Just a little time" I replied quickly, "I have somewhere to be."

"Oh, in that case you can go!" The man said, waving it off, "I didn't mean to bother you!"

I turned around and started pedaling again. Looking forward, I didn't see the man next to me until it was too late. With a shove, he pushed me into the path of an oncoming car. The only thought going through my head was, 'Huh?' as I was run over.

White. A blank white world. I was floating in whiteness.

"What?" I said, looking around, "What happened?"

"Sorry about that" a voice replied "But I lack the powers to bring your entire body here. So, I just brought your soul!"

"Wait... You brought me here?" I cried, still confused as hell. "Take me back!"

"Yeahno. Your head got run over by a car. You won't last long if you go back to your body." the voice replied.

I heard a pair of... Something snapping. A vision appeared in the whiteness in front of my face. It showed a car, an old man, and a young man standing over a body. My body. I gasped. The contents of my head were spread across 4 feet of road next to me. I felt nauseous. But I couldn't throw up when I was just a spirit, could I?

"Sorry about that. Like I said, too weak to just grab you up and plop you down in Equestria." the voice said.

"What... How... What..." I stammered, before realizing something. "Did you say Equestria?" I asked turning around to see the being that brought me here for the first time.

He (I say he lightly) was the strangest being I had ever laid my eyes on. His very existence seemed to break the laws of reality. He looked at my gaping jaw, then into my eyes.

"I suppose you want to know who I am." he said, hardly batting an eye at my confusion.

I nodded slowly. looking him up and down.

"Very well." He replied. "I... Am... Pause for dramatic effect... Ungehorsam!" he shouted, fireworks coming out of tubes that appeared in his eyelids as he spoke. (Don't even ask)

I did a double-take. "Isn't that German for disobedience?" I asked, now thoroughly confused.

The fireworks stopped. "Nuts, you speak German." he said, still in his pose.

"Yep" I said, proud of this, "I got a lot of money for my eleventh birthday from my Uncle, so I bought a Rosetta Stone for German. Then I spent countless hours learning German."

"You learned a new language... In a little more than a year..." he said, silently amazed.

"Yep. That's right!" I said, loving the feeling of him stroking my ego.

"Huh." he said. "Well, if I keep you here any longer, your spirit will decay into nothingness, so let's transfer!"

"Wait, what?" I said, now confused beyond belief.

He took a deep breath, "You are going to be transferred into a different body than the one you have now, you are going to be my pawn in the chess game of the gods, so do be kind to the ponies you will meet, I am the god of disobedience, so making you into what I'm going to make you into is not allowed, but I don't care. You are going to land in Ponyville, but the GGG is taking place, so you will not see any of the Mane 6 until later. You will however-"

He was cut off by a flash of light from above.

"Or I could just let you go now" he said quickly, snapping his appendages together and disappearing, along with the whiteness. Now I was above a small lake, a pond really. Looking down, I could see the choppy water obscuring my reflection. I barely had time to wonder if I was a pony before I hit the water.

As I hit the water, a draining feeling i had never know before came over me. I almost fell, instead choosing to not drown and make it out of the evil water. I crawled to the edge of the shallow pond. Infuriatingly slowly I might add. I fell to the ground, panting. Looking back, I must have looked weird, a strange creature that appeared a foot above the pond, only to fall down into it and slowly make it's way to the shore. The pond wasn't even head height, I could stand in it just fine, so why was I so tired? As I crawled out of the pond, I though I heard a voice say "It's super effective".

I looked around spotting a familiar purple dragon gaping at me. I turned toward him, "The water is evil" I said before blacking out.

"I'm telling you Twilight, it just appeared above the pond!" a voice cried from next to me. I assumed it was Spike.

"That doesn't make any sense, Spike!" another voice cried, sounding a lot like Twilight.

"You are both fools, it is obvious that he is a human turned into whatever creature this is. Do you not remember the prime examples that we have encountered so far? There are many of them. Oh look, it wakes." this voice I didn't recognize. It sounded vaguely familiar though. Surprisingly cultured for a small town such as Ponyville.

"How else am I supposed to..." Spike cried. He turned towards me. "Oh look he's awake" he said calmly.

I opened my eyes. Well My eyes weren't' open, I could tell that, but I could see. Strange.

I saw a purple unicorn and a baby purple dragon standing over me, confused looks on their faces. I realized something. I sat up, startling the dragon.

"Mirror, now." I said, groaning as I sat up.

"O...Okay" Twilight said, bringing a mirror over to where I sat. She held it in front of me. I looked into it.

A Cyndaquil stared back.

End Chapter

A/N: Well here we are then, the first chapter! I mulled over this idea for a full 10 minutes before putting it down on my computer, so this is not well thought out. But anyway, I hope you all enjoy my take of "Chess Game of the Gods" Next Chapter: Why can't I open my eyes? Estimated time remaining: 34 Minutes
