Prologue

What am I?

This may be a simple question to most of you. You are Human. But me, I am something else. I tried to be a hero, I tried to save the lives of innocents. I tried to be anything but what people make me out to be; a monster. I used to be normal in the past. I was a scientist; striving to help humanity by unraveling the mysteries of the universe, primarily Gamma Radiation; known as one of the most violent and powerful source of energy to mankind. Ironically, that is what turned me into the creature that I am today.

I am no longer normal; no longer accepted by the people I loved and cared for. They fear me, hate me, but most of all, they want me dead. They see me as nothing but a threat, a weapon that aims in all direction. After many years of being loathed, hurt, and hunted by everyone, I used to wish myself free from this curse, from the beast that dwells inside of me. Now, I realize the only thing I want is to be alone.

My Name is Doctor Bruce Banner. I am not Human; I am The Incredible Hulk.

I have grown used to loud noises. Explosions, Bullets, Screams of terror and fear; but I don't hear any of that now. Its moments like these that are rare in my life. Peace. Its quiet, save for the soothing sound of the wind blowing and the birds singing.

“Wait, birds chirping,? Here in the Deser-”

His voice suddenly failed him as he opened his eyes to find himself in a completely new location. There were trees as tall as buildings and full of life with rich green leaves and perfectly brown bark. Grass, so beautiful and pure it shimmered and sparkled in the sunny clear sky. Flowers of all colors and sizes were around him ranging from large purple ones with thorns that shined in the light, to small ones that were blue and glowing.

“Where am I? This certainly isn't the Nevada Desert. Its so full of life and cool and a bit breezy and Oh My-”

Banner looked down at himself to notice that his clothes were completely gone. He was in the nude. Even his infamous, stretching pants were gone.

“My clothes are gone, but thats strange, I don't remember transforming into the Hulk. Well it does not matter now, doesn't look like this area is occupied by anyone that would notice. For the mean time I guess I will at least cover myself up with some leaves”.

After looking around for some decently sized leaves, he expertly crafted them into a patch covering his privates and a good portion of his backside.

“Well, I am not going to figure out how I got where here is, by just standing around. First thing first I need to find is some clothes, no way I can remain undetected by the military if I am dressed in nothing but a bunch of leaves.”

Unknown to Bruce, the Military would be the least of his worries for now.




Princess Celestia, the most powerful being known in Equestria, was currently doing one of the most challenging, and difficult task known to society. You think it would be raising the Sun. Nope, that is but a simple task for the God like Alicorn. She is a princess, and it is her role duty to watch and care for her subjects. While normally a Princess would act as more of a figure head rather then a government official; but unfortunately her influence among pony kind has practically made the entire society run both on her, and her sister Princess Luna’s, decisions.

Its not that she didnt take her job seriously, she loved her subjects with every ounce of her being. Its just alot of pressure on two individuals, even if they are Goddesses, they are still stressed out with day to day Meetings, Councils, Courts, etc... 

 Lucky for Princess Celestia, today has been an easy day for her so far. Only several hundred of her subjects have come to seeking her advice, help, wisdom, blessing, or anything in-between. Sitting atop her throne with two of the Royal Guards on each side, she was currently meeting with a Pony who had come all the way from Las Pegasus just to seek Princess Celestias Blessing.

He was a scrawny little Earth Pony who goes by the name of Strong Leaf, with a dark brown coat and short, light green hair, and abnormally pink colored eyes, with a cutie mark of a Wooden Leaf. Princess Celestia even had to do a double take on the strange Earth Pony. Normally Earth Ponies were known for their natural Strength and physical abilities; but this one was smaller then the average Earth Pony and had such rare eyes, something she has not seen in hundreds of years.

“Hello My Little Pony, and how may I help you today”

Inquired Princess Celestia, forming a smile that she has practiced over the centuries of her rule. Its the same smile a loving mother would give to her children. As you can imagine, meeting with a God like figure in person can be pretty intimidating, but that smile always seems to calm down her subjects and make them feel more comfortable.

“Umm hello your m-majesty. Uhh if you wouldn't mind me asking your royal highness if I could maybe ummm”



“Wow” Celestia thought to herself, this pony is very shy and timid. Reminds her of another one of her subjects, a famous hero in fact. Celestia couldn't help but giggle a little in front of her subject.



“Please Strong Leaf, no need to be so nervous around me, I don't bite and I certainly will do everything within my power to help you with your problems. Now tell me, how can I ease your worries”


Strong leaf seemed to get less tense, then Celestia could see he was starting to form a huge red spot on his cheeks. He was blushing profusely.

“Well you see Princess, I came before you today t-to, to ummm,”

He closed his eyes and then in a loud voice that not even Celestia had expected “I WANT TO ASK THIS MARE I LOVE TO MARRY ME AND I WOULD LIKE YOUR BLESSING!!!!”

Awww this is so adorable Celestia thought to herself. He traveled hundreds of miles, to ask for his rulers blessing for his marefriend. She got off of her throne, much to the Royal Guards surprised, and began making her way to see Strong Leaf. 

 Strong leaf still had his eyes closed as he waited her judgement. He suddenly felt a soft and warm feeling on his forehead. He opened his eyes and was completely shocked. Princess Celestia, the most powerful being on the planet, personally made her way up to him, and began to nuzzle him on his forehead. His Blushing intensified to the point where his face was as red as a tomato. 


“My Little Pony, I can see you are going to be a wonderful Husband, and maybe even a father someday.” Again, she couldn't believe his face could get any redder, but it did.


“You have my blessing Strong Leaf, I know you will grow around a loving family and a wife that stays true to you and you alone. Also, that blushing is adorable and you should do it more often around her.” Celestia said with a wink.

Strong Leaf gave one quick bow while still maintaing a cherry red face, and then ungracefully left the court. Celestia made her way back up to her throne and levitated a piece of paper containing all of her schedule appointments.  



“Oh my, I dont think this has ever happened before”


Celestia muttered to herself in complete amusement. She looked at the paper in front of her again; carefully observing ever little detail. Celestia let out a sigh of relief and jumped off of her chair, much to again, startle the guards stationed at their post. They never saw their princess act so informal.



“I have no more meetings. No Courts, Councils, nothing!”


Celestia trotted over to the nearest window and took a good look at the position of the sun in the sky. It looked like it was just a little past noon. She couldn't believe she finished all of her royal responsibilities so quickly, and leaving so much time to spare.

“Maybe I will have some time to hang out with Woona, or maybe pay a visit to my faithful student Twilight Sparkle” Celestia thought to herself.

“Today is going to be a wonderful day”.

Unfortunately for Celestia, Fate has other plans for the Sun Goddess. For you see, today, was going to be the start of something big.
