Staying Sane In A Peaceful World
Chapter 2: Chapter 1: Meeting The Cutie Mark Crusaders
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI was leaping from house to house while listening to Franz Schubert's Ave Maria for the violin from my iPod.
While I was resting for a breath, my headphones were yanked out from my ears. Pulling out my kukri, I turned and saw a certain prismatic haired pegasus.
"What?” I asked while resheathing my kukri.
"What are you doing?” Rainbow Dash said.
"Freerunning."
"What is freerunning?"
"I am running."
"Then why are your jumping from house to house?"
"Because I'm running."
"You know what, never mind. What are you listening to anyways?"
"Classical music."
"Classical music? That trash? Nopony listens to classical music anymore, 'cept old ponies."
Yes, cause that was definitely not insulting. "Well I do and it isn't the only type of music I listen to. It is just a tendency of mine to listen to this type of music. If you don't like that, listen to this", I said before putting an ear bud into her ear and one into my ear. I then started playing 115.
"This is awesome! What is it?” asked Rainbow Dash.
"Well Dashie. It's music. Plain and simple."
"You got to show this to a DJ I know."
"Vinyl Scratch, aka DJ Pon-3?"
"How'd you know?"
"I know everything!"
"Well if you excuse me, I will be back to my run now" I said before jumping down two stories. After a roll, I got back up and noticed that there were ponies outside and not scared to death at the sight of humans. Twilight must have gotten the town to trust us a little though there were suspicious glares.
I then ran up another wall and jumped onto another house. Time passed by quickly as I free ran. When you do something that you enjoy, time tends to pass quickly.
While running, I noticed a plume of smoke stretching across the sky. Free running to that location, the trail of smoke led to a house fire. Around the burning house, I noticed that there were many ponies watching the fire along with my friends and five of the mane six and several ponies that were dressed up like firefighters.
Somewhere Close To The Fire
"You have to get in there!” a pony yelled. "My foal is still in there, you got to help her!"
"The fire's too intense for us to go in!" the fireman(pony) said.
"Wait a minute. One. Two. Three. Four. Five? Where is Rainbow Dash?” I asked.
"I think she went into the burning house to get that foal" replied Twilight Sparkle.
"Of course. Nick hold my schtuff" I said while handing Nick my weapons except for the 870 shotgun. I donned on my gas mask and pumped my 870 receiving a CHK-CHK. I took the clothes off my torso and rubbed mud on it and redonned it. I walked up to the door and shot off the lock. I turned back to Nick and tossed my shotgun to him, to which he caught.
"Pony or not, you can't go in there!" a different firepony told me.
"Try and stop me" I said before entering the inferno. I went up a flight of stairs which broke down on itself after reaching the top. Walking around, I found Rainbow Dash on the ground trapped under a beam. Lifting the beam, I hoisted Rainbow Dash on my shoulder.
Either she was really light or I'm hallucinating from the smoke. Looking around, I saw four hazy small lumps in a windowless room that had not caught on fire yet. Seeing the lumps, I walked towards them. Upon closer inspection, I found four small ponies, but I couldn't see any specific detail due to soot obscuring the lens on my gas mask.
Upon seeing me one of them said, "Help us!" one of them screamed.
"Can you guys walk?"
"Two of my friends are unconscious and this foal won't walk on her own. Please get help."
"I am the help. Little one, I need you to carry one of your friends and I'll carry the foal and your friend" I said before putting one of the fillies in my backpack and taking the foal in my arms while she hoisted her friend on her back. They were lucky I was able to carry them, along with Rainbow Dash. I'm pretty skinny compared to a normal person.
Walking out the door, I noticed the fire had gotten too strong to use my previous passage way. “Dermo (crap [Russian]). Follow me. I have an idea." The filly just followed me as I took out a grenade and pulled the pin. I threw it into the room that we were previously in. When the grenade detonated, a new exit was made. On the ground was a large wagon of hay that looked like it would cushion the drop(unless there were sharpened spikes hidden under the hay but I doubt that).
The filly jumped out into the hay, which decompressed her fall. Then I jumped out myself. Upon landing, the wagon broke, most likely to the weight of Rainbow Dash, a random filly, a random foal, and I.
Twilight's Point Of View
'What in the Tartarus? That creature is crazier than Celestia going after cake! I wonder if-' My thoughts were interrupted by a massive explosion originating from the south end of the building.
"No!” yelled the mother.
"I'm sorry for you loss. You have my condo-" I said before being interrupted by a large wagon being destroyed.
My Point Of View
“Hijo de puta (son of a bitch [Spanish])" I said. I pulled of my gas mask and took a breath of the fresh air.
I walked over to the mother. "I think this little one belongs to you ma'am", I said before handing the foal back to her respectful parent.
The mother nearly burst into tears. "Oh my Celestia! I don't know how to thank you!" She paused. "I don't even know who you are!"
"Tran and yours?"
"Berry Punch."
"Well, I was just trying to help" I said before setting Rainbow Dash down. "Somebody check this pegasus."
"No pulse!!” a firepony said.
"What?!” the remaining Mane Six said, some of them gaining tears. Hearing this I walked over to Rainbow Dash. Looking through my backpack, I took out a shot of adrenalin. I jammed the adrenalin directly into her chest. Then I opened her mouth and started putting breaths of air into her. Taking out one of my tasers, I took off the projectile barbs attachment.
"What are you doing?" a firepony said.
It's a longshot. "Magic" I said before shocking her with both tasers. I released the electrical buzz and waited. Her body began spazzing until she took in a large breath of air.
"HEYGUYSWHATSGOING.WHYDOIHAVESOMUCHENERGYWHATHAPPENEDWHYAREYOUCRYINGSERIOUSLYWHATHHAPPENEDTHELASTTHINGIREMEMBEREDWASGETTINGHITINTHEHEADBYABEAMSERIOUSLYWHATSGOINGONWHYDOIFEELLIKEPINKIEPIEWHYDOIFEELLIKEDOINGAHUNDREDRAINBOOMS" Rainbow Dash said in an adrenalin induced energy rush.
"Pinkie!! I need a few cans of soda. Now!” I said before being immediately handed ten cans of soda by a certain pink earth pony. "Dashie drink these." Now it might have been magic but somehow, she managed to drink all of the cans of soda in an instant. How is that physically possible? The liquid would not have been able to come out that quickly.
"Rainbow Dash! You're alive!” Twilight yelled. All five of them tackled her in a group hug. Aww. That's sweet.
"Uh Tran. Your coat is on fire" Ike said.
But the mud was supposed to prevent that. "Wait, what?” I said before taking off my backpack, vest, and bdu and stomping on it. After the fire went out, I put everything back on. “Great my BDU is ruined. We need to find these fillies’ parents." I looked down at the three little kids that were three famous little fillies known for vandalism.
"What happened?” asked Sweetie Belle.
"Did we get our cutie marks?" said Apple Bloom asked upon waking up.
"Apple Bloom!?” Applejack said.
"This is bad" said Scootaloo.
"Squirt!?” Rainbow Dash said.
"What were yah thinkin!? Why in the world were you in there?!” asked Applejack.
"You could have died!!” Rainbow Dash said.
"You mean exactly like how someone here did?” I said. Rainbow Dash immediately went silent.
"Wait died?” asked Scootaloo.
"Yes, the great and mighty Rainbow Dash braved the fire and died. Then I had to go in there and save you guys. Had to use a frag to get out."
"You're lying!" Scootaloo said.
"Yes I am. Now, what were you guys doing inside that burning building?"
"Um, Cutie Mark Crusaders firefighters?” said Applebloom.
"That is as dangerous as a free solo beginners cliffside climbing cutie mark. Now let’s get back to the library. The princess is due to come here in fifteen minutes" I said while glancing at my watch. “Dashie, race back?"
"Yes! You won't beat my me!" she said.
I looked at Applejack. "Fine" Applejack said before tying Rainbow Dash's wings down.
"Okie dokie lokie. On your mark. Get set. GO!!!” Pinkie Pie said while taking out a checkered flag out of a tree and waving it. Rainbow Dash immediately darted off as I waited for her to get ahead of me. After she was out of sight, I ran up a wall and onto a roof.
While Rainbow Dash had to take a path that involved her going in between buildings and waving around people, I took a direct route to the library. While on top of a house, I saw that Rainbow Dash was sprinting towards the library. I quickly jumped into the library through a window and went behind the front door.
"Ha. I beat him!. Can't wait to see the look on his face", she said.
I opened the front door to her. "I don't think so so."
"What?! Where did you come from? There was no way you won. I didn't even see you past me."
"On the contrary, I beat you because I was free running. While you went around houses and buildings, I was on top of them taking a more direct route ensuring my victory. I covered a lesser distance. Albeit moving quickly, you were at a disadvantage as you had to take a more direct route."
"Please don't tell anypony. They won't think I'm awesome anymore and then they won't be my friends and then I'll have no fan club and then they won't respect me and then I'll be lonely." Hmm. Over thinking it a bit, aren't you? A bit like a certain lavender unicorn that we all know and love.
"Don't worry Dashie we'll still be your friends" said Pinkie Pie.
""Where did you come from?!" said Rainbow Dash.
"Don't worry you are still awesome if you lost a little race. You are the only pony to be able to do the sonic rainboom" said Twilight Sparkle.
"Sugar cube you still can beat me in some athletic parts" said Applejack.
"You'll still be my friend. We've been friends since flight camp" said Fluttershy.
"You will still be the most awesomest pony ever" said Scootaloo. That's not even a word.
"Let’s get inside already before my heart explodes from this cuteness induced heart problems" I said while clutching my chest.
We went inside. “The princess should be here any minute. Let’s just wait here."
The princesses eventually arrived with an entourage of scientists, nobles, and guards. Upon the sight of me, the guards came at me with weapons drawn. There were fifteen of them, two of which were armed with crossbows.
I was then shot four times with arrows. Fortunately, I was still wearing chain maille, which ended up blocking the bolts. Why did I have to be the first person they saw? Well, the others did decide to wait upstairs while I perused the books of Equestria.
I drew my samurai sword and assumed a ready position. The pony who was closest to me was armed with a broadsword held with magic. Simple but effective.
He took a step forward while he swung the sword. I easily blocked the swing and while he was trying for another, I stepped forward and smashed the hilt of my sword in his face before striking him in the face with a left palm strike. Another pony stepped up and tried to hit me with a sword held in his mouth but I dodged before kicking him in the face. It didn't help that I was wearing steel toed boots.
Three ponies stepped up, all armed with swords. "Well" I said before drawing one of the M26 tasers and firing it at the center pony. He fell over onto the left(my left) pony and both of them went out like a light. I dropped the taser. The third pony took one glimpse at his two buddies, then turned to face me again only to meet my boot.
You know, I love kicking people. It's fun! No, not a simple kick where the tip of your shoe hits the target but the type of kick when the underside of your shoe hits the target.
One pony stepped up. He must have been so sure of himself that he would have been able to do something to me. Oh well. I proved he was wrong when I pulled out another taser and used it on him. I also dropped that taser.
This time, seven ponies stepped up. "Cause this is fair." Not to them. I've been studying martial arts since I could ride a bike! Traditionally too, not that Americanized version where you pay the teacher/master/sensei. Three of them were armed with swords, three had spears, and the last had a mace.
I immediately grabbed the one armed with a mace with my free hand and pulled him closer to me. Before he could try anything in my arms, I struck him in the face with my free hand and dropped him once he was unconscious. Two of them led with sword slashes but I dropped down and swept the left one's legs before kicking him in the face. The other one took an elbow to the face when he tried to attack me.
The other four just charged at me. I quickly sheathed my sword and ran in the other direction. When I got to one of the bookcases, I grabbed several books and threw it at them prompting them to stop to catch the books which they had to drop their weapons to do. I struck one of them in the face with my right palm and knocked him out. I quickly grabbed one of them and slammed him into the wall, knocking him out.
I picked up one of their dropped spears and snapped the head off on the ground. As the other two ran towards me, I swung and bashed one in the face before I dropped the makeshift staff and kicked the other one in the face. Both fell right over.
The lasts two just stared at me with their unloaded crossbows. They immediately went back to trying to load their crossbows. I shook my head before I ran forward and plucked the crossbow out of one of their magical grasps. I looked to the other one and he dropped his crossbow out of fear.
I dropped the crossbow and faced the princesses. "Okay, where were we?"
"Why do you keep on attacking our guards?” yelled Shining Armor.
"Why are they attacking me?" I asked back. I looked at the two princesses. "Why didn't you stop it?!"
"We found it amusing!" Princess Luna said.
I looked at Celestia for her response. "Yes, we did" she said with a smile.
"Did they have to shoot me four times?” I said while pulling the arrows stuck to my chain maille. "Fix them so that we can get on with this." Celestia casted a large spell healing all of the ponies. After the ponies woke up, they immediately went at me again until they were stopped by a large purple, magical barrier.
"Stand down! He's supposed to be here!” yelled Shining Armor.
"He attacked us!" responded one of the ponies in similar armor to Shining Armor.
"Correction, you attacked me and I defended myself. Don't shoot me again" I said.
"Now this creature has the audacity to threaten us, the captains of the royal guard" said a pegasus captain.
"Oh yes. I believe these are yours" Celestia said while floating over my two tasers.
"Thank you" I said while removing the used up barb attachments with a fresh set.
"Can we start with this god damn meeting or are we going to argue like brats?" said Ike.
"Let’s start with our names. I am Tran."
"Ike."
"Andy."
"Nick."
"Any of you have any questions?” I asked.
"What happened to your world?” asked Cadence.
I paused. Can they handle the truth? "Our world ended." The ponies in the room had looks of confusion on their faces. "The dead didn't stay dead. Roughly a year ago, the dead started rising from a virus or disease and started killing everyone. Within a month of the first zombie appearance, seven billion people died. We are some of the last of our kind" said Ike.
"Seven billion? Your species' had a total population of seven billion!?” blurted Twilight Sparkle.
"Yes, it was. We're one of the few bands of survivors left. I'd guess that there were maybe twenty, maybe thirty million survivors left."
"You guys survived for a year?” said Applejack.
"Yes. Through scouting, scavenging, and general violence. It was a long and hard year but we made it though did find ourselves in this land of magical ponies" Ike said. "That or we've truly gone insane like Tran over there."
"Insane?” asked Celestia.
"Tran over here" Nick said while pointing to me. "Is insane. Not legally. He hasn't met the standards to be insane back where we're from but the fact that he was almost classified as insane kinda triggers some attention. That's why we call him the Crazy Asian."
"What's an Asian?” asked Twilight Sparkle.
"Well my dear Sparky, an Asian is, or should I say was, a species of our kind that was well known for being short, smart, and not normal when it came to certain things. Andy and I are Asian, but as you can see we are not short for some apparent reason or genetics. Andy and I are also brothers. Why do you think we look alike?” I said.
"Why did yah go into that fire and helped us?” asked Apple Bloom.
"Hey, are you saying that I shouldn't have saved you?"
"Can we see thy weapons and armor?"
"I don't know if we should" I said.
"Please" the cutie mark crusaders said simultaneously while pouting with puppy dog eyes.
"God the cuteness. My hearts going to explode with this cuteness. Okay, fine. Can you bring two tables outside?” I said before walking outside. Outside was a certain parked deuce. After two tables were placed outside, I began to take off my weapons. "Is there a spell of something to clean myself quickly?"
"Yes, I'll cast it on you" Celestia said before casting the spell.
"Oh God" Nick said. "You reek of lilac and lavender."
I glared at Celestia while she sheepishly smiled back. I then proceeded to remove myself off my weapons and gear, placing my belongings on the table along with my friends. I then went into the deuce and took out some explosives, the Barrett, and the flamethrower. I started the demonstration by taking out my sword.
"What material is this sword made off?” the pegasus captain asked while pointing to my samurai sword.
"This sword is made of steel."
"What is steel?"
"Steel is a metal that was lost during the Nightmare Moon event. Steel was the best metal available for, well everything" said Twilight Sparkle.
"Are you able to show us how to make this sword?” asked Shining Armor.
"No, I am not able to."
"Why not?"
"It is not the fact that I am not willing to, it is the fact I am not able to. This katana is nearly 700 years old.
This blade is one piece of metal folded over thousands of times over the course of a year. For me to know how to replicate that ancient, yet perfected art is like asking a child to climb up a cliffside with no ill intent. There are some weapons I can show you how to make and I will show you how to make steel."
"That's amazing! What are they?"
"Maybe another day. Now let’s show you the firearms. These are our primary weapons. What they are, are guns or also known as firearms. With these guns just the four of us were able to stop the changeling invasion single handedly. Each gun has a different function, but they basically work the same way."
"Will thy allow thee to taketh one of thy firearm weapons?” said Luna.
"No."
"No!? Why not? These could help the royal guard defend the kingdom" said the unicorn captain.
"You would not understand our superior technology and the technology would be abused if we were to give it to you."
"Why would we not understand your technology? How are you humans superior? We are speaking in the same language" said a pony scientist.
"Ok. If you are equal to us in knowledge then I issue you a challenge" I said while taking a certain poly chromatic plastic cube toy. "This is a Rubik’s cube. If you are able to make all of the sides the same color as the center piece of each side, then I will let you guys take one of our guns to reverse engineer. You have to solve it by turning each side until they are matching. You cannot take off the stickers, take it apart, or use magic." I handed the Rubik's cube to a scientist.
After ten minutes of handing over the Rubik’s cube to the pony scientist, the scientist handed it to another and another and another and then Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle's attempt was as futile as the others. Then Luna attempted and failed. Celestia herself even tried it until handing it back to Twilight Sparkle.
"This is impossible! How can you task us to do something that is not even possible?” said Twilight Sparkle.
"Solving this is possible."
"Oh yeah, you solve it."
"Ok if I solve it, we get to ask you some questions after this question and we get immunity from your rule."
"I doubt you are able to solve that so I agree to your terms" said Celestia. I then picked up the Rubik’s cube and examined it.
"Hey Andy can you time me?"
"Sure" he replied. I then started solving it. When I finished, Andy said "forty-two seconds."
"Dang, I didn't break my personal record", I said while being stared at in awe by all the ponies.
"How? How? Just How? How?” asked Twilight Sparkle.
"There are only forty-three quintillion possibilities for a Rubik’s cube. I just happen to know how to get the right one. Time to kill and eat everypony and you guys can't do anything about it."
"What?!?"
"I kid! You guys won't get any of our weapons. They belong to us."
"But we can benefit from having those weapons", said the earth pony captain.
"Well too bad. Guns are tools of death, not toys. They sent small lead, copper, or steel projectiles at supersonic speeds that are meant to tear those flesh, bone, and or any obstacle that stands in the way. Each firearm is designed and used differently" I said. I pointed to the Barrett M82a3 lying on the table. "That rifle is meant for long distanced shooting."
"What do you mean long distances?” asked the Shining Armor
"This gun is lethal over a mile."
"A mile!? Are you talking about the unit of measurement made up of 15840 hooves?" Now that is really weird. Hooves are Equestria's unit of measurement.
"We also have four special types of weapons. The first is a hand thrown explosive, the second is a projectile explosive, the third is a placed explosive, while the fourth shoots fire."
"Will thee demonstrate?” asked Luna.
"Yes" I said while taking out the flamethrower. I lit the pilot light.
"Thou has lied. Tis barely an ember!"
I smiled then pulled the trigger. Out came a forty foot stream of napalm that lit up the sky. I turned to look at the ponies whose jaws were on the floor.
"This is a chainsaw. It can cut through just about anything nonmetal" Nick said.
"How can that cut anything, that isn't even sharp" said Rainbow Dash.
Nick smiled. He turned the chainsaw on. He walked over to a nearby abandoned wagon and went to work. The buzz of a chainsaw was combined with an empty wagon getting sawed in half.
"That was awesome!"
"Now let’s move to our armor" I said. Then I went to the deuce and brought out a spare vest. I removed a few of the kevlar inserts and placed it on the table for everyone to see.
Upon seeing the inserts, Rarity picked up one and started examining it. "What is this exquisite material? It's supple, strong, and it breaths. I must acquire some of this fabric" Rarity said.
"Rares you can't have any of this. It is what are armor is made up of. It is also impossible for you to make it too" I said.
"It can't be that difficult to make."
"Rares, back in our world, this material starts out as a liquid then it is spun into a fiber and then it is woven. It would be impossible for you ponies to make it. The only way you would get some of this kevlar is if we were to give it to you. We use it for our armor because it is twelve times stronger than steel weight for weight."
"Twelve times stronger than steel?!" said an incredulous scientist pony. "It's fabric!""
"In our world, we have automated machinery that moves on its own while you ponies are still using hand tools."
I took off my chain maille shirt and placed it on the table." Now this is chain maille armor. It is composed of several thousand steel rings and is capable of stopping any forms of slashes and some arrows. It could be argued that it's equal to the amount of protection to your plate armor. It's design is obsolete compared to the kevlar but it is still pretty effective."
"Will you show us this armor design?” asked the earth pony captain.
"Unlike the kevlar, yes I can. I got bored one day and decided to make a suit(true story)." I pointed to my gas mask hanging around my neck. "This is a gas mask. It simply filters the air into clean air. Now next question."
"What is your cutie mark?” asked Sweetie Belle.
"Well Sweetie Belle, Humans do not have cutie marks because we do not have magic where we are from."
"You guys don't have magic? Ha we have something that our species beats yours in", asked Twilight Sparkle.
"Yeah you guys have magic and we have technology to the point where we change elements into another or the ability to fly."
"You guys can fly. How?” asked Rainbow Dash. Through trial and error. Lots of error.
"Our species are able to make things fly with the usage of engines. Imagine a train in the air. We called the flying machines airplanes, aircraft, or just planes." Then there were helicopters and a number of other things but it would take a while to explain everything.
"If it is like a train in the air, I bet I could fly faster than them" Rainbow Dash said with a boldness.
"Oh contrar, we have been able to perfect flying at great speeds and they could easily fly faster than you."
"Oh yeah. I can fly faster than sound. Can your planes fly faster than that?"
"Dashie, us humans have found that sound travels at 768 miles per hour or Mach one as we call it. The fastest plane we had was the X43 plane and it went Mach 9.6. The fastest craft our species made was meant for space travel and it can go Mach 52. The fastest speed we ever achieved was the Helios 2 and it could go Mach 332. Technology isn't exactly magic but it still does a good amount.
Rainbow Dash now had a somber expression as her ears had flooped down. "You're still the fastest pegasus in Equestria, Rainbow Dash. Humans will never be able to achieve unassisted flight. You are also undoubtly the fastest biological creature between our two species knowledge." And away the sad expression goes! I took out a piece of gum from a random pocket and popped it into my mouth. "Now next question."
"If you guys didn't have magic, then how did you change the seasons, move the weather, or move the sun and moon?” asked Rainbow Dash.
"Our species can't manually change the weather or seasons. In our world, they change by themselves. Unfortunately, this causes the world to experience extreme temperature ranges. Some regions could be in the minus hundreds while there are others in the one twenties positive. Next question?
"Here is something that makes Tran even crazier. When it was 120 degrees he would still wear long pants, a long shirt, and two jackets" said Ike.
"Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom are you thinking what I'm thinking?” asked Scootaloo.
"Yes" Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom said simultaneously.
"Will you join our club, the Cutie Mark Crusaders?” asked Apple Bloom.
"Let me guess, it's a club where you crusade and venture for your cutie marks" I said.
"How did you know?” asked Sweetie Belle.
"I know everything! Also, yes I will join your wittle club."
"Of course I will" Nick said. The two of us looked to Ike and Andy.
"No" the two of them said simultaneously.
"Well you still have us" Nick said.
"What is that?” asked Applejack, who was pointing at our deuce.
"Well that is the M54 motor vehicle. The M54 truck is a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine, an engine design that's a step more technologically advanced than a steam engine of a train. It weighs 20000 pounds, its 25 feet long, 10 feet across, can tow tens of thousands of pounds, carry troops, or carry cargo weighing 10000 pounds or somewhere in that area. It has a top speed of maybe 50 ish miles an hour. We use it to carry our extra supplies and move from place to place. Now let’s get back inside" I said while gearing back up and putting supplies back into the truck. We then walked back into the library for the continuation of questions.
"Foot?" Twilight asked.
Remembering earlier about the hoof being basically a third of a foot if you did the math, I formulated a quick answer. "Imagine three hooves. We use feet as our unit of measurement instead of hooves" I said.
"Do you like parties?” asked Pinkie Pie.
"Party!” said Andy.
"Who doesn't?" said Nick.
"I like a good party" said Ike.
"I absolutely hate parties" I said. What? I hate large crowded social gatherings. Small ones, maybe. Big ones, big no no.
"What!? Why would you hate parties? That is a crime against life. It's like hating cake or cupcakes" said Pinkie Pie.
"I also hate cupcakes and cake. They are too sweet."
"Why must you hate life? Maybe one of my parties will change your mind" Pinkie Pie said.
"I am not going to a party Pinkie. Parties are too childish and immature."
"Then I will make a party that you will absolutely love. I Pinkie promise that. Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." She did the actions as she said the promise.
"What does dermo means? You said it when we were in the fire" asked Scootaloo.
"Well Scoots, dermo is a word in one of the many languages I know and it means crap."
"Wait, many languages? How many do you speak?” asked Twilight Sparkle.
"Well Sparky, I speak six languages."
"Fascinating" she said.
"Why don't you talk about yourselves?” asked Fluttershy in a quiet tone. "You've been talking about your things but you haven't said much about yourselves."
"Well Flutters, I am serious most of the time, but I am crazy random the rest of the time. Usually, I'll help those who need it. I like to learn and do interesting things. If you tell me to do something that I can do, I'd do it because I'm a hard worker. Most of the time I control myself, but if I don't, things will happen. I have a code of morals and ethics I follow. If someone breaks those ethics that I follow, then I will not respect or have mercy" I said.
"I am serious basically all of the time. Usually, I belong to the good side. I act with class to show that I am above some people. Try not to mess with me or I will cut you. Try not to scare me because I am paranoid as hell" said Ike.
"I am never serious. I like to be random and always have fun. I love a good prank or joke. My brother says I don't make sense but he doesn't either. I absolutely love sweets. I love pranks and messing with others to see what cracks them. I am never serious” said Andy.
"I am usually serious. Other times I like to meet with my friends. Usually I'm shy to new people. Um, I think that’s it if it’s okay with you. Just don't mess with me too much" said Nick. "Or you will die."
"What did you do to Rainbow Dash back there?” asked Scootaloo.
"Wells Scoots, What I did back there was I was reviving Dashie. Before you ask how, in our world there was a technique that we invented that would revive a recently deceased person by restarting the heart and lungs. That needle that I injected into Dashie was adrenalin. After the reviving, I gave her the soda because sugar helps counter the adrenalin."
"How did you know our names?” asked Rarity.
"I know everything!"
"Seriously, how did you know our names?" Twilight asked. "Knowing everything is impossible."
"Simple, I know everything" I said.
"But. But" Twilight said.
"Just give it up, Twilight. Don't make it into another Pinkie Pie incident" Rainbow said.
"Smart idea" Nick said.
"Now I think it is time for some of my questions. Are there casinos in Ponyville? Does Equestria know about counting cards?” I asked.
"Ponyville contains two casinos and what are counting cards?” said Celestia.
"I will tell you another time."
"Princess, shouldn't we show the other towns ponies about them?” asked Twilight Sparkle.
"I am going to put my trust in you six to introduce them to these four to Ponyville" Celestia said.
"I won't fail you now" Twilight replied.
"I will meet with the townspeople later. That took all day. I'm hungry" I said.
"Yeah let’s get something to eat" said Nick. We then walked out to the truck and picked out four MREs of our choosing.
"What do you guys have?” I asked.
"I have beef stroganoff and a Snickers" said Ike.
"Clam chowder and a Three Musketeer" replied Andy.
"Potato salad and M&Ms" said Nick.
"I gots me a giant cracker with some jelly spread and Skittles" I said before we started eating.
"What are you guys eating?” asked Twilight Sparkle.
"Well Sparks we are eating freeze dried food that contains thousands of calories and candy", I said.
"That can't possibly be healthy" Rarity said.
"It's military food" Nick said. "It's probably more likely to kill us."
"Candy? Can we have some? Pleeeeease" asked Scootaloo.
"All right. All right" I said before handing them my Skittles. As the Mane six, the CMCs, and the princesses tried the Skittles, they all had a look of joy and happiness.
"This tastes awesome!” said Rainbow Dash.
"What is this flavor?” asked Twilight Sparkle.
"Can I have some more?” said Fluttershy.
"OOOOOO. This tastes a lot like cupcakes or cake or candy or sugar or frosting or ice-cream", ranted Pinkie Pie.
"Ah like it" said Applejack.
"Relax guys. It is just candy from our world. If you think that is good then you should see everything we have. Well, I am going out for a walk" I said.
"Enough with the mouthgasms! I'm trying to eat” Andy yelled out.
"Can you come to the town hall in two hours? Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please" rant Pinkie Pie.
"Alright. Alright I'll go. I'll be there in two hours. No interrupting me when I am walking. I like my walks in silence with extra peace." I then walked out of the library, but before I walked out I hit my head on the door frame. Right, ponies are three feet tall. I'm double their height. Ducking down, I went out the door.
I walked around the town just taking in the sights, the air, the night. Everything was peaceful, as if life hasn't introduced pollution to them yet. The air was clean compared to the polluted atmosphere of Earth. You know, I enjoy these walks. They're quite peaceful. Imagine if everyone took a walk everyday. It would be healthier for their lives and maybe it might bring tranquility to their beings. That or drive them insane.
My walk was nice until I was interrupted by a voice in my head. 'How are you enjoying your walk?' I heard her voice say.
'Celestia? I know I'm insane but, I know I do not have schizophrenia so what are you doing in my head?'
'Well, I am just checking up on you, since you went for a walk.'
'But seriously, don't go into my mind unless it is important.'
'And why is that?'
'You may see something that you would regret seeing'
'Sister come into Tran's mind'
'Why does thou need us.'
'You better not go through my mind' I warned them.
'How bad can it be?' was the only thing Celestia thought before she saw a memory of an ambush of one thief from when I was in the zombie apocalypse.
8 Months Ago
I was walking down a street just trying to keep myself calm and sane. Since walking was one of the only things that kept me sane, anything that interrupted me while I was calming myself down would face my wrath. This time somebody tried to mug me. Unfortunately for the mugger, I was fully armored and fully armed.
The mugger had came at me with a knife. He tried to stab me. Before the knife connected with my armor, I directed the path of the knife out of my way. This is how it usually works with knives. Most untrained knife wielders often lunge too much when using a knife. What typically happens is that they predict that something will brace the impact of their stab which usually happens to be the person they are trying to stab. However since I managed to counter his little lunge, he was sent stumbling about.
With him stumbling, I grabbed his other hand and twisted it, breaking his wrist. Then I extended his arm out and brought my elbow down onto the joint of his arm, breaking his arm at the joint with the bone sticking out.
He screamed in pain from the combined injuries but that wasn't the end of it. I quickly grabbed the shard of bone and pulled, ripping out a small portion of it. With the bone in my hand, I stabbed him in the stomach, dropping him to the ground.
"Nice try" I said to his bleeding form. He was still alive. He is still bleeding indicating a still beating heart. Drawing my kukri, I slammed it into his head.
The Present
'Celly, that is the violent side of my personality. Now get out of my mind.'
'How can thou act in such a manner' thought Luna.
'You are so young" thought Celestia. 'Only Sixteen years of age.'
'Because I spend a good decade of my life learning how to fight. Now leave my mind or I will show another memory.' That was the last thing I said in my mind before the princesses left my mind. Looking at my watch, I noticed I had been walking for nearly two hours.
Remembering Pinkie's request I started walking towards the town hall. When I was at the town hall, I peeked inside and noticed it was all dark. Knowing Pinkie Pie, I knew it was a surprise party. Walking back out, I ran up a wall.
I climbed over to a window and went inside the town hall. It was dark but I could still make out the hiding forms of ponies. I silently climbed down to the ground level. I then took out two flashbangs and pull the pins, but I still held the grenade spoons. Walking onto the balcony, I tossed one flashbang at where my friends and the Mane Six were and the other into the crowd. I closed my eyes and covered my ears, waiting for the inevitable.
After the flashbangs detonated, I said “It is impossible to sneak up on a ninja Asian."
