"Jesus! Slow down already!"

Rainbow Dash looked back with a smirk on her face.

"Told ya I could out gallop you!"

"Only because I have all of my equipment on me!"

"Ready to admit I'm faster?"

"I'll never admit anything to you."

I ran and ran for what seemed like forever until we came to a tree. But I took a look closer, and I found a door carved out of the trunk, and window sills coming out of the leaves. I stared at the tree house for a little while before Rainbow Dash gave me a nudge.

"You coming?"

I shrugged as me and Rainbow Dash approached the tree house. The cyan mare held out a hoof and firmly tapped it on the door. Some shuffling was heard inside as Rainbow Dash let herself in and told me to wait outside. I began to whistle out of boredom outside and eventually, I out my ear to the door and began to hear in on the conversation.

"Look, Twilight, I promise you he's not going to hurt you or anypony here."

"Are you sure? From what you have described, he seems a little alarming."

"I just want you to meet him. That's all."

"How do you know it is a he?"

"He says that he's a Mariner...or something like that. Besides, Nurse Red Heart told me that he was a guy after doing a physical while he was knocked out."

So some ponies were looking at my pubic area while I was asleep. That makes me feel secure.

I heard some hoofsteps approaching the door that I was leaning against to hear in on the conversation. I tried to pull back away from it, but the weight of the duffle bag, my backpack, and my M4A1 over weighed me and prevented me from getting up fast enough. The next thing I know, I'm falling forward and preformed a grade-A face plant on the wooden floor. It didn't feel very comfortable. A heard a shriek and got up from my fall position. I laid my eyes on a lavender horse with a black and pink mane. I also noticed a small horn protruding from her head. I guessed this had to be a unicorn. God, every inhabitant on this world seemed to break some scientific law. The mare looked at me nervously, then looked at Rainbow Dash. She then looked back at me a little less alarmed and stepped forward a bit.

"He-hello, my name i-is Twilight Sparkle. What's yours?"

"Sergeant Lilienfeld."

The mare who was named Twilight gave me a little bit of a confused look.

"Uh, no, not your rank, I mean your name."

I sighed before continuing.

"Benjamin."

Rainbow Dash looked at me a little confused, then broke into a sheepish smile.

"What kind of a name is Benjamin?"

"Do you have a problem with that?"

I immediately regretted what i just said as Rainbow Dash sunk down and drooped her head.

"I apologize, I get this way sometimes."

Rainbow Dash seemed to brighten up a bit.

"I hope I didn't offend you."

"Of course not. I've heard WAY more offensive stuff then someone questioning my name."

"So, who are you exactly?"

I turned back to Twilight, who had a scroll levitating and a quill levitating with the scroll. WHAT?! LEVITATING?! I noticed that her horn was glowing too, indicating that the scroll's and quill's floating was connected to it.

"So magic does exist here."

"Of course. Doesn't your kind have magic?"

"Well, no. Not at all."

Twilight suddenly dropped the scroll and quill altogether at once. She stared at me wide-eyed after the answer I had just replied to her.

"What? No magic?! Then, what do you have?!"

I took a little consideration into this. What would be something equivalent to to the horse's magic?

Technology.

Hey, thanks brain.

"Technology", I replied.

Twilight looked at me a little funny, and so did Rainbow Dash. Twilight questioned what technology was, so, I decided to just show them an example. I headed over to my duffle bag that was thrown against the wall and took a look inside. The first thing I noticed was there was stuff in there that wasn't supposed to be. I was originally going to show them my ipod touch (that I secretly kept with me during my service), but I noticed that there was a laptop computer in there. I didn't have a laptop when I was in Afghanistan, so how could a really nice looking computer suddenly appear in my duffle bag? I decided to ask questions later and show them the computer as an example of technology. I brought out the laptop, which really didn't impress Rainbow Dash, but Twilight was looking with interest at the flat device. I opened it up, and Rainbow Dash suddenly became more interested once I turned it on. The screen came to life as I stared at the background of the programs. It was me with a bottle of whisky in my hands cheering with a Marine, who was firing an M134 Minigun at a pickup truck during a New Years celebration back at Echo-5, the base I was stationed at. I really didn't approve shooting every single gun into the air, or emptying every clip you could find for 3 whole minutes, but I really took enjoyment from my happy brothers. (And thank GOD I wore ear plugs that night.)

"Woah! That's cool!", Rainbow Dash gawked at the laptop.

"How do you do that?", Twilight asked.

I lectured them for at least thirty whole minutes about what kinds of machinery and devices humans had to make life easier, or a little bit more entertaining. i told them about what a laptop is, and what kinds of information it harbors. I told them about Google, Wikipedia, Youtube, and Facebook, even though I didn't even have an account of my own on that social network site. I noticed Rainbow Dash getting bored from my lecture after pulling off yet, another yawn. So, I decided to make it worth her while.

"Oh, and you can play games, listen to music, and watch movies."

Rainbow perked her head up and looked at me with interest.

"Really? No way."

"Oh, you just see. I'm gonna play a song that I think you would enjoy."

It took me a tiny bit to navigate around the laptop, until I came to the music library. I scrolled down on the list and found some good songs on the library. I eventually found myself at the top again looking at a very familiar song.

"Blow Me Away, By Breaking Benjamin."

"Wait, you made a song?"

"No, It was made by some guy who has the same name as me. We're not related at all."

"Meh. Whatever song you pull up probably won't beat Vinyl's mixes. She's pretty good."

"We'll see."

I grinned as I selected one of my favorite songs. Okay Breaking Benjamin, you haven't failed me before, so I really hope you won't fail me again.

*Please Note: I have nothing to do with this song, nor am I affiliated with it. I am displaying this so you readers can get a better taste of the story. So don't sue me douche bags. Also, this version of Blow Me Away is edited.*

I hit the play button and the song started off. Twilight and Rainbow Dash were a little confused at the slow start of the song. Rainbow seemed to be getting bored and decided to speak up.

"See, I told you-"

Then the song hit the 0:17 mark.

The shit hit the fan.

Immediately, Rainbow Dash lurched backwards from the sudden burst of guitars (Or, whatever else). After a few seconds of pure awsome, she began bobbing her head to the beat. It took Twilight a little longer to get the song, but soon enough, she joined in the bobbing of heads. I began singing the lyrics as they came forth, which seemed to have an added effect to the song.

"They fall in line, one at a time, ready to play..."

"I can't see them anyway..."

"No time to loose, we got to move, steady your helm..."

"I am loosing sight again..."

"Fire your guns! It's time to run!"

"Blow me away!"

"I will stay, in the mess I made..."

"After the fall, we'll shake it up!"

"Show me the way!"

"Only the strongest will survive! Lead me to heaven when we die!"

"I am the shadow on the wall! I'll be the one to save us all!"

I then noticed that the volume wasn't set high enough, so I turned it up to maximum kick-ass. Twilight covered her ears with her hoof after the massive blast of sound, then let go and began stamping her hoof to the floor intensively. Rainbow Dash was completely banging her head and pumping her fist...er...hoof into the air. Damn, I really gotta get used to myself being surrounded by ponies. We listened to the song, and I kept mouthing the lyrics perfectly. Eventually, Rainbow Dash began beating her wings, and the next thing I know, she is in the air thrash dancing. That was just plain awesome.

"There's nothing left, so save your breath... Lying in wait..."

"Caught inside this tidal wave..."

"Your cover's blown, no where to go... Holding your fate..."

"Loaded, I will walk alone..."

"Fire your guns! It's time to run!"

"Blow me away!"

"I will stay, in the mess I made..."

"After the fall, we'll shake it up!"

"Show me that way!"

"Only the strongest will survive! Lead me to heaven when we die!"

"I am the shadow on the wall! I'll be the one to save us all!"

"Wanted it back... DON'T FIGHT ME NOW!"

Then, the heavy metal part strolled in. I thrashed my head back and forth extremely hard, at which point, I was concerned I might dislocate it. After a minute more of the song, it ended, and Rainbow Dash broke into an applause.

"That was awesome! I never heard anything like that! Do you have anymore songs?!"

"I'll show you some other songs some other time."

I smiled at her, and she smiled at me. I quickly exited out of the music library, and Twilight began to speak up.

"So, Benjamin, Rainbow Dash wanted me to give you wings so you could go to Cloudsdale. Does that sound good to you?"

I stood there for a moment, before answering back.

"You can do that?"

"Of course. It's a really complicated spell though."

"What kind of wings will I get?"

"Well, that depends. I preformed the same spell on one of my friends, Rarity, and she produced butterfly wings. I don't know what kind of wings you'll get though."

"Why are you doing this all for me? I really don't deserve all of this gratitude."

Rainbow Dash perked up and answered back.

"Because, I helped you earlier, and now, I want to repay you by giving you some wings."

"Is there something you're not telling me Rainbow Dash?"

I saw Rainbow Dash's cheeks light up a bit.

"I think you're really cool too."

I smiled at the compliment. At least I know how it felt like to be cared for by someone But...it felt out of place...why was I feeling so attached to her all of a sudden? I was just sucked into this world. Something didn't make sense...

Twilight walked away and took a book from the large amount of shelves built into the trees and began studying it. She turned around and told us that she was trying to make the spell permanent if it was possible. She asked if that was okay, and I said it was fine. She then told us to wait for at least a while so she can prepare up. Bored, I opened up my laptop again, and I decided to tell Rainbow Dash one of the greatest inventions to the sci-fi universe ever created.

Mecha.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash, do you want to see what a Mecha is?"

Rainbow Dash turned her head towards me and looked at me a little confused.

"Mecha? What's that?"

"They're giant robots that humans pilot inside. They have all sorts of awesome stuff on them and some move incredibly fast. Look, here's a picture."

I quickly pulled up my image library, and I was quite surprised with what I saw. It was completely filled with sketches of Mecha from top to bottom. I scrolled down and noticed at least half of the list consisted of custom mecha drawings from when I was bored in my service, and when I was 16-18 years old. I always wanted to be a Mecha concept artist, and I am looking at a list of over 300 art pieces of Mecha everywhere. I then decided to look up one of the most famous Mecha in history: The RX-72-2 Gundam. I clicked on the picture, and it loaded into the Gundam with different poses. One was just standing so you could see the whole Mecha, another had it firing its Machine Gun, another had it blocking a Zaku's Bullet Spray, a position where it was slicing with its Beam Saber, another with it firing its head vulcans firing at incoming missiles. I lectured Rainbow Dash about what Mecha exactly are, what they do, how they are piloted, and how fast the can sometimes move. Rainbow Dash stared at amazement for quite a time, before asking a question.

"That's so cool. How big are they?"

I thought about it for a moment.

"I think the leg equals the size of Twilight's tree house, or maybe a little smaller."

"WOW! That big?! That's amazing! It must be cool to pilot one of those!"

"Actually, humans don't have anything close to Mecha in real life. This is all make believe. You know, something cool to think and imagine."

Rainbow Dash looked a little disappointed.

"Hey, there's actually movies, games, and TV shows completely modeled after these things."

"Really? Do you think you can show me some?"

I looked at the bottom left of my computer screen, and found that the connectivity to the internet was completely full.

"Okay, how in fuck's name am I getting connection on a another planet?!"

Rainbow Dash sort of flinched at my dropped F-bomb.

"Sorry."

"It's fine. Are you going to show me something?"

I looked up Youtube, then punched in: Gundam Endless Waltz - Final Battle. Immediatly, the search results came up and I clicked on a video.

This are gonna be rad.

Rainbow Dash was a little nervous at the dark figures lurking in the hanger bay.

"Are those Mecha?"

"Yep. That's Sandrock, that's Deathscythe, and that is my personal favorite, Heavyarms."

After confirming the pilots were ready, Sandrock sliced open the bay doors, and the three Mecha hurtled towards the planet below.

The first question that Rainbow Dash asked was why the song had all of these strange lyrics. I explained while pausing the video that it was made in Japan, a country where they spoke a different language than America. I even told her I'm mostly Japanese. She thinks this is why I know so much about Mecha. Derp. The view changed to the enemy mecha firing, and one looked up too see Deathscythe looming over it. With a completely bad-ass spread of its wings in the moonlight, Deathscythe plunged down and sank his trademark scythe into the enemy Mecha. More and more Mecha fell to Deathscythe's wrath as the view changed to my favorite Mecha of all time, Heavyarms. The enemies stood no chance against Heavyarm's trademark gattling guns as he mowed down every Mecha in sight. To avoid incoming fire, Heavyarms leapt into the air and did a full twist flip (whatever you call it). Right as he landed, my favorite part came into the video. Heavyarms blasted the enemy Mecha with his gattling guns and tore them to pieces. The air assualt of the enemies failed as Heavyarms shot them down from the sky (like the useless little bitches they are). Rainbow Dash stared in amazement as Heavyarms began intercepting the micro-missiles that were launched from an opposing Mecha. Then it was Sandrock's time to shine. Immediately, Sandrock beheaded the enemies and pressed on, slicing more in half and slashing ones's arm off. The dogpile attempt of two enemies went horribly wrong when Sandrock flared up his jets and broke free, dispatching the two Mecha. Then, scenes began switching as the three Mecha began to get overwhelmed and found themselves back-to-back with each other. Rainbow Dash was getting a little concerned, but then, MG Wing Zero Gundam appeared above them and fired his massive cannon directly at the enemies below. Tons of Mecha were incinerated by the blast. MG Wing Zero Gundam fired again, but the resulting succession of firing the cannon rapidly caused his arm to blow off. Then, the enemies caught on to what was happening, and fired at MG Wing Zero. Millions of tracer round lit up the sky as MG Wing Zero Gundam was getting torn apart. After the enemies fired continuously, MG Wing Zero Gundam was blown to pieces. Rainbow Dash let out a gasp as MG Wing Gundam was blow to smithereens. I reassured her that the pilot, Heero, had survived as the chest had remained intact. I paused to movie, and Twilight came over, and was ready with the spell.

I felt like I was going to go through a major operation when the moment came in. Twilight told Rainbow Dash that she was going to be preforming a different version of the spell, so it would look different. Not that I cared. Twilight told me to relax, and set the book down. Her horn started to glow with very intense light, and the whole house became flooded all over with the harsh brightness. She concentrated harder and harder, until a bright beam of light erupted from her horn and was sent directly at my chest. I cringed at the sight at the incoming beam, and...nothing happened. I saw the beam come at me, but to seemed to divert from my direction. Suddenly, I realized that the beam of light had ricocheted off of my dogtags. Oh shit. I looked over to where the beam was being diverted, and it struck my laptop. I quickly grew more and more afraid as the laptop began to glow intensely. Suddenly, the laptop shot out a bigger beam of light, which struck me and sent me flying. I think I blacked out for a second, before opening my eyes to Rainbow Dash and Twilight staring down at me with incredibly worried expressions on their faces.

"Oh my gosh, Benjamin! Are you okay?!", Rainbow Dash pleaded.

"Ugh, yeah, I'm okay."

As I stood up, Twilight looked at me a little disappointed.

"What's wrong?"

"It didn't work."

"Oh."

I looked over at Rainbow Dash, who hung her head low and let out a sniffle. I walked over to her and began to comfort her.

"It's okay Rainbow Dash."

"Suddenly, I felt something erupt from my shoulder blades. It didn't hurt one bit, but Rainbow Dash suddenly leaped away from me and stared at me wide-eyed, as did Twilight.

"What's wrong?"

Slowly, Twilight brought over a mirror, and what I saw, nearly gave me a heart attack. I did have wings, but the were all metal and painted white, like a machine. At the end held sharp points which gleamed in the sunlight that came through the window. I stared at my newly acquired wings for at least three minutes, until I began to think.

"Where have I seen those wings before?"

Suddenly, realization punches me in the face, kicks me in the balls, and punches me in the gut. What was attached to my back, was a human sized pair of MG Wing Zero Gundam wings.

"Holy motherfucking shit."

End of chapter three! Sorry for the delay, and sorry for the people who think that me getting Gundam wings is cheesy. It is very important to the story. Anyways, happy reading!
