  1. Edit, September 28: I do not plan on abandoning this story, I just need to do some brainstorming and figure out where to take it. I will continue this eventually and might make some minor revisions to this opening chapter as well.
  2.  
  3. I need a proper name for this story, everything I've come up with so far blows
  4. The prologue is important to the story and plot- read it or prepare to be confused
  5.  
  6. >You squirm around for a couple minutes, making sure nothing was broken
  7. >The suits sensors were acting up so you forced a system reboot as you lay still in the crater
  8. <All Systems Online>
  9. >Damn, this suit was amazing!
  10. >You just flew through a wormhole, and fell onto a planet; no problems at all
  11. >Now to find out just where you were
  12. >You remember spotting a small village on the way down, it wasn't far from here
  13. >Suddenly you hear a voice
  14. >"Whooaaaa.."
  15. >Floating above the crater, staring down at you, was a... pegasus?
  16. >You stand up and take flight, floating up to the height of this creature, who slowly backs off
  17. >Sure enough, it was a miniature cyan-colored pegasus, with a rainbow-colored mane and giant megenta eyes, looking on at you in awe
  18. >"Just what are you? And where did you come from?" she asks hesitantly
  19. "Holy shit it can talk!"
  20. >She raises an eyebrow at that remark
  21. >"Well duh. What, never seen a pony before?"
  22. "Obviously not..." you say, getting a look at your surroundings
  23.  
  24. >This planet was beautiful
  25. >You were surround by rolling plains; larger hills and tall mountains in the distance
  26. >In one direction, you can spot the village you saw on the way down
  27. >The color everywhere was so vibrant, it was hard to believe a place like this could exist
  28. >You remain awestruck, until the pegasus interupts
  29. >"Nice aint it? Are ya gonna answer my questions?"
  30. "I uhh.. came from another planet, obviously very far away from this place.."
  31. >She is noticably confused
  32. <Outside oxygen levels high. Environment safe>
  33. "Good enough for me."
  34. >You retract the entire helmet back into your suit, revealing your head and face to the pony
  35. >She flinches back in shock
  36. "It's okay, this is what I actually look like. This suit protects me, I had to know if this planet was safe before I opened it up."
  37. >"P- planet? Just what do you mean by all that?"
  38. "Simple. I probably couldn't explain to you how I got here, but just know that I came from a different planet, very from here, near one of the many stars you see in the night sky."
  39. >Her jaw drops, and she's speechless
  40. *sigh* "Well that's obviously a foreign concept... let's move on... So, you're a pegasus, huh?"
  41. >She snaps out of her confusion to respond
  42. >"Yeah, that's right. There's also unicorns and earth ponies here."
  43. "I see.. are you a peaceful race?"
  44. >"Of course we're peaceful! There are others though, like dragons and changelings, they can be downright evil sometimes, but they all live outside of Equestria."
  45. "Equestria? Is that what you call this place?"
  46. >"Yep!"
  47. "Hmm... well I gotta say, I'm glad you're peaceful, I didn't want to have to- ..you know what, never mind... So, my name's Anonymous."
  48. >"Anonymous huh? That's an odd name. I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in Equestria!"
  49. >... and she thought you had an odd name? Ha
  50. >Guess it fits her though
  51.  
  52. "Fastest flier in Equestria you say? I can fly pretty fast myself, how about we race to that village over there, and you introduce me to some of your friends? I'm really curious about this place and you ponies."
  53. >"A race huh? You're on!"
  54. >You extend your helmet back up and over your head and take off at full speed
  55. >Rainbow Dash takes off at the same time, surprisingly keeping up with you
  56. >Within seconds, you arrive at the village, Rainbow Dash just a few meters behind you
  57. >"Nooo waayyy.."
  58. "Ha, so you are pretty quick, much faster than I would have given you credit for."
  59. >"Yeah, thanks, but just so you know I can go a lot faster than that. Maybe later I'll demonstrate for you." she says giving you a smirk
  60. "Is that so? For your information, I can go a lot faster as well. It's just kinda dangerous with anybody else nearby." you say smiling back at her
  61. >"I'm pretty dangerous myself at high speed ya know, I can't just go that fast near anypony either."
  62. >Wait, she can't be serious
  63. >You're going to have to put this to the test later
  64. >"Let's head over to that house over there." She says, pointing a hoof at a... tree.
  65. >wat
  66. "That's a, house? Inside of a tree?"
  67. >"Yep. If there's anypony that can get you started around here, it's Twilight."
  68. >Shrugging, you follow Rainbow Dash to the large tree
  69. >"Better let me talk to her first, I'll call ya in when she's ready."
  70. "Uh, sure.."
  71. >Rainbow knocks on the door and is invited in
  72. >After a few moments, she shouts back to you, giving you the okay to come in
  73. >With your helmet retracted, you walk into the tree
  74. >It actually looks really nice in here
  75. >There's a ton of book-cases carved into the walls, and an upper loft area which looks like a makeshift bedroom
  76. >"Anonymous, huh?" speaks an unfamiliar voice
  77. >You finally turn your gaze to see a purple unicorn standing just a few feet from you
  78. "Uh, yeah, that's my name. And you?"
  79. >"Twilight Sparkle. You don't look like anything I've ever seen or read about before, just what are you?"
  80. "My race is called Human, and we come from a very far away place."
  81. >"Hmm, human huh."
  82.  
  83. >Her horn begins to glow as she looks over at her bookcases
  84. >One of the many books begins to glow the same color, as it levitates over to the unicorn and opens up in front of her
  85. "Whoa, what the shit? How are you doing that!?"
  86. >"Hmm? Doing what?"
  87. "Holding that book up like that!"
  88. >"What, never seen magic before? Jeez, I can't imagine how far away from here you must live."
  89. "M.. magic? ...mother of god."
  90. >Rainbow steps in at this point
  91. >RD:"Twilight, he's from a much farther place than you think, trust me." she says with a giggle
  92. "Yeah, and there's definitely no magic where I come from, so don't be alarmed if I'm a tad surprised by it."
  93. >They both stop and look at you curiously
  94. >TS:"What do you mean no magic?"
  95. "I mean there is none. It doesn't exist, in any form. Never has."
  96. >Twilight's eyes widen
  97. >TS:"But.. But how? How does your world work without magic? How do you raise and lower your sun and moon!?" she's raising her voice as she goes along, obviously quite frightened at the thought of no magic
  98. >At least she seemed to realize you were from another world
  99. "It's a- ..wait, don't you DARE fucking tell me that your sun and moon are raised with MAGIC!"
  100. >TS:"I.. uh, well.. it is! Is yours not!? How do you do it!?"
  101. "..ugh, oh god I think I just had an annuerism..." you say, lowering your head and clutching it with your hands
  102. >RD:"Whoa, what? Are you serious!?"
  103. "What? No, no, I just.. need to sit down.."
  104.  
  105. >You take a seat on a nearby couch and sit back, leaning your had on the back of it and staring off blankly into the cieling
  106. "So... magic, huh? Is that just your best explanation, or is there more to it than that?"
  107. >TS:"Equestria is ruled by two Princesses, Celestia and Luna. Celestia raises and lowers the sun every day, and Luna does the same with the moon. They've been doing it for centuries, it's quite simple really."
  108. "Forgive me if I don't understand right away.." you respond sarcastically "Two princesses.. They must be very powerful. Also, centuries? Just how long do you ponies live anyway?"
  109. >TS:"Well, few ponies live past a hundred years, but the princesses are Alicorns, they don't technically age at all. And yes, they are very powerful."
  110. "Must be nice. What's an Alicorn?"
  111. >TS:"Think of it as a cross between unicorn and pegasus. There's more to it than that of course, but I'll save it for later." she says looking back into the book she was still levitating in front of her
  112. >After a few moments of nothing but Twilight flipping through pages of her book, she finally closes it, sighs, and magics it back to the shelf
  113. >TS:"There doesn't seem to be anything in here regarding Humans..."
  114. "Yeah, that's not surprising. I highly doubt our species have ever seen each other."
  115. >Twilight finally takes a seat with Rainbow Dash and relaxes
  116. >TS:"So what's your story Anonymous? Just where did you come from? How did you get here? And what's with that weird thing you're wearing, are you ever going to take it off so we can see what you really look like?"
  117. "That's kind of a lot to tell, Twilight. Ready for a story?"
  118. >She gives you a big sheepish grin and nods her head
  119. >Yeah, a story is defintiely what she wanted
  120.  
  121. >You go on telling Twilight and Rainbow your story; about the current state of your planet and species, the elite group you belong to, the suits, the event that brought you here, etc.
  122. >There were details about your orders, and other rules you were supposed to abide by that you just wouldn't tell them
  123. >After you came through the wormhole, you caught a glimpse behind you only to watch it close right away
  124. >As far as you were concerned, you would be trapped here forever
  125. >You didn't want to tell them yet, but that fact made any orders or rules you had completely useless
  126. >The only thing you couldn't figure out was why none of the others came through that wormhole with you
  127. >Were they all sent to different dimensions, or random corners of the galaxy?
  128. >Maybe that blast from Heavy took out the machine before anybody else was pulled through?
  129. >You could only guess, but it was honestly probably better off if none of them came here
  130. >This place seemed very nice, and it's inhabitants ridiculously friendly
  131. >Anybody else on your team would probably think straight to their orders regarding habitable planets...
  132. >Yeah, you're glad they aren't here
  133.  
  134. >After a couple hours of stories and idle chit-chat, you stand up and stretch
  135. "I'm starving. How about we go to this Sugarcube place for some dinner?"
  136. >RD:"Aw yeah, I could totally go for that!"
  137. >TS:"Sure, it'll give you a chance to meet some of our friends too."
  138. >With that, the three of you set off from Twilight's house and into this town they say is called Ponyville
  139. >As you head toward the village, you take flight and simply hover along
  140. >It was so much easier than walking
  141. >TS:"Anon, are you ever going to take that thing off? I'm not sure you'll make the best impressions floating into town in a power suit like that you know."
  142. "Ha, you kidding me? I practically live in this thing, I love it too much."
  143. >Twilight pouts at you
  144. *sigh* "I'll take it off before I go to sleep Twilight, that better?"
  145. >TS:"Perfect, then I can study you!"
  146. >You cock an eyebrow up at Twilight
  147. "I'm not even gonna ask..."
  148. >Twilight giggles and looks ahead
  149. >You notice Rainbow had been hovering along with you on your other side, up until a few seconds ago
  150. >You and Twilight stop and look back; Rainbow was looking up into the sky
  151. >RD:"Anon, look." she says, pointing upward
  152. >It doesn't take long to spot the fireball dropping through the atmosphere and heading your direction
  153. "Well, what to ya know, somebody else managed to end up here too."
  154. >TS:"Wait, that's.. no way!"
  155. "Twilight, don't get excited. There's a few things about my team, about our secret orders, that I didn't tell either of you."
  156. >Rainbow and Twilight both look to you with very worried looks on their faces
  157. "There's a good chance that these guys will want to harm you, or anybody that gets in their way. When he lands, let me confront him alone, I don't want to put either of you in danger."
  158. >RD:"Whoa, hang on. You seem pretty cool, why would this team of yours be so much different?"
  159. "It's a long story Rainbow, I'll explain it later. Just don't go near wherever he lands okay?"
  160. >They both nod and look back at the new human plumetting towards the town
  161. >Before long, he rockets into the ground just outside the other end of Ponyville, creating a large crater with his landing
  162. >Your helmet comes out and covers your head as you boost off over Ponyville to find out just who it was that came down
  163.  
  164. >In a few seconds, you end up above the crater, waiting for the dust to clear
  165. >Eventually, you hear him get up and take flight
  166. >He hovers up and out of the dust, coming up to level with you
  167. >It was a mostly forrest-green and white suit
  168. >Cutter...
  169. >Great, this guy was practically a psychopath, he loved cutting people up
  170. >Including civilians, even when they weren't really in the way...
  171. >C:"Well well, look who it is... So, any idea what planet we're on kid?"
  172. "The place is called Equestria. It's inhabited by magical sentient ponies, who are a very peaceful race, and I'm more convinced this is another dimension, not just a random uncharted planet."
  173. >C:"Whoa whoa whoa, hold the phone. Just how do you know all of that? I was pulled into the wormhole only about two seconds after you were."
  174. "Two seconds? Seriously? I've been here for a few hours!"
  175. >C:"Well, how 'bout that.. So, you said this place was inhabited by sentient ponies huh? Sounds ridiculous... what's your kill count so far?"
  176. "Wha- kill count!? Cutter, I agree this place is a bit ridiculous, but these ponies are peaceful, and very friendly. I'm not killing any of them."
  177. >C:"Is that so? Did you forget the desperate needs of our race? How about the specific orders we were given to clear out any garden planets we might come across so we can colonize them?"
  178. "Did you not see the wormhole close behind you? We're fucking stuck here man, none of that matters anymore. We can forget about the war, the killing, all of that. We can start new lives here!"
  179. >C:"Are you fucking kiddin' me? I realize we're stuck here, and what that means. That being said, I'm gonna have some fun!"
  180. "Fun? Just what the hell are you talking about?"
  181. >C:"Kid, I'm not gonna live on a planet with a bunch of fukin' colorful little friendly ponies. So I'm gonna kill them instead and take their planet for myself! You should join me, it'll be fun!"
  182. "You're insane! I refuse to allow you to harm any of these creatures!"
  183. >Cutter floats over and comes face to face with you
  184. >C:"What was that kid? You think you're gonna stop me?"
  185. "Damn straight I am. This is a peaceful land, and it belongs to them. They've already accepted and befriended me, and I'm not going to let you ruin that."
  186. >C:"So be it, Ki-"
  187. >He's cut off as he looks past you
  188. >C:"My god, they are adorable. It just, makes me want to, CUT THEM ALL UP!" he finishes with an evil laugh
  189.  
  190. >You look behind you to see Rainbow floating in place a ways back, watching on
  191. >When you take your focus off Cutter, he pushes you aside and boosts toward Rainbow, unleashing the blades from his arms
  192. >You immediately boost after him; you knew your suit was faster but you weren't sure if you'd catch him in time
  193. "RAINBOW, MOVE! GET OUT OF HERE!"
  194. >She snaps out of her trance and takes off at full speed
  195. >C:"OH NO YOU DON'T!"
  196. >You catch up right behind Cutter, and move into position above him, charging up energy into your hands
  197. >Before you have a chance to fire, you notice you had both caught up to Rainbow
  198. >Cutter extends an arm forward and fires the blade attached to it, striking her right wing
  199. >Rainbow screams in agony as she immediately loses her flight balance and begins falling
  200. >You take this time to fire the built-up energy out of the palms of your hands, directly into the back of Cutter, sending him rocketing to the ground
  201. >As soon as your blast is fired, you boost off to Rainbow, getting under her just before she hits the ground, grasping her into your arms and taking the fall yourself
  202. >You slide across a dirt street in the middle of Ponyville for many meters before coming to a stop, Rainbow Dash still in your arms screaming in pain
  203. >You take a quick look at her damaged wing; it was almost torn in half, you can only imagine the pain she must be in
  204. >In a sudden flash, Twilight Sparkle appears next to you
  205. >TS:"RAINBOW!"
  206. "Twilight! She's hurt real bad, where's the nearest hospital?"
  207. >TS:"Just across town, that way!" She points a hoof almost in the direction you were just flying
  208. "You just teleported right? Can you teleport her there? I need to take care of this piece of shit before he attacks anybody else."
  209. >TS:"I.. yeah, got it!"
  210. >Twilight uses her magic to lift up Rainbow out of your arms, and after a brief moment they both teleport away
  211.  
  212. >You quickly get up onto your feet, only to realize Cutter was standing in front of you
  213. >C:"You really do care about thees creatures don't you? HA! That'll just make this even more fun!"
  214. >As he starts to laugh, you jump, boosting yourself forward as you throw your arm forward and connect your first to his helmet
  215. >He's knocked back a few yards and onto the ground
  216. "I tried to reason with ya bitch, but you just signed your own death warrant!"
  217. >Cutter is quick to get back upright, now hovering just above the ground
  218. >C:"You did not just call me a bitch."
  219. >You respond with a smirk
  220. >C:"That's it!"
  221. >Cutter unsheathes his blades from his arms and jumps at you
  222. >He swings his arms at you with great speed, striking at least twice a second
  223. >Fortunately, your speed is better; you're able to raise an arm to block every one of his attacks
  224. >Your arms are taking some scratches, but your more durrable suit is no match for the blades of his
  225. >You notice a slight break in his attack as he prepares a stronger swing
  226. >Taking advantage of this, you extend an arm to his chest and blast him back
  227. >His chest took a little damage, but nothing for him to worry about
  228. >Now with a couple yards in distance between the two of you, he immediately fires both of this arm blades at you before he even fully recovers from the blast he took
  229. >You're able to swat one of the blades away, but the other one went low and struck the side of your left thigh, which was a weaker spot in the armor
  230. >The blade is able to cut through the suit and slice a couple inches in, just below your waste, from front to back
  231. >Needless to say, it hurt like a bitch, and you scream to signifiy that
  232.  
  233. >Cutter retracts the blades back to his arms and dashes for you
  234. >Just after he begins his movement, he's struck in the face with a large blast of.. magic?
  235. >You both look over to the source, seeing a white unicorn with a beautiful purple mane standing about a dozen yards back
  236. >Cutter quickly recovers, confused
  237. >You take this time to charge up some energy into just your right hand
  238. >C:"What in the fuck was that!?"
  239. "Magic motherfucker!" you yell at him, trying to ignore the pain
  240. >You were trained to endure pain, and thankfuly your suit can inject painkillers into your system to help cope with any injuries
  241. >C:"Magic? You can't be fukin' serious!"
  242. "I told you they were magical!"
  243. >Cutter is noticably pissed, really not liking that blast to the face or your comments about the matter
  244. >You take this time to jump forward, trying to land a punch with your left arm
  245. >He's still focused enough to read your attack and instantly jump back a couple more yards
  246. >As soon as he does, that same unicorn teleports up to within a few feet of you, to the side, and fires another blast at Cutters face
  247. >He stumbles back, now seething with rage, as he turns his focus to the unicorn
  248. >C:"You WHORE! I'M GOING TO SLICE YOU INTO BITS!" he shouts at her with a devious laugh to follow
  249. >The unicorn gasps at the "whore" comment
  250. >Cutter charges at the unicorn with his blades out, you know there's no way she can react in him
  251. >You dash in-between the two, extending your right arm toward your enemy, still charging up a large blast
  252. >Getting in the way just in time, you fire your blast into Cutter's chest, stopping him right in his tracks
  253. >The blast emits from your palm for a few seconds, creating a hole directly through his chest and out the other side
  254. >C:"Yo... you..." he stutters as the energy subsides
  255. "I told you I wouldn't let you harm any of them. Unfortunately, you did harm one, so in return, I killed your dumb ass. Now go die so I can fix up this leg of mine."
  256. >As you speak your last words to your former comrade, you push him back and watch as he falls to the ground
  257. >You kneel down and open up part of his suit, interfacing it with yours
  258. >Your suit begins taking the remaining energy from Cutter's
  259. >Parts of your suit begin transforming, adopting the tech of the other suit
  260. >The damaged part of you suit along your left thigh repairs itself in the process, applying a healing solution to your large wound, sealing it up
  261. >It's only temporary, you'll still have to find a doctor and get it fixed up, but at least for now it wont bleed anymore
  262. >even though it still hurts like a bitch
  263. >After a couple minutes, the transfer finishes, and you have some new upgrades you'll have to check out later
  264.  
  265. >Cutter's suit starts producing a loud beeping sound
  266. >You know exactly what this means, as you get up and walk away toward the white unicorn who was only a few feet behind you
  267. "Follow me, we gotta get away from him."
  268. >"Bu-"
  269. "I mean it, it's dangerous!"
  270. >She obliges and you both walk away
  271. >After a few moments, an explosion is heard behind you, startling you both
  272. >Now you both stop and face each other, you kneeling down in front of her, enduring the pain in your leg
  273. >You open up your helmet, unveiling your head to the unicorn, before speaking out
  274. "Thanks for your help, but.. why did you help me when you have no idea who I am?"
  275. >"I saw what you did for Rainbow Dash, so I knew you were on our side. And I just felt like I should return the favor for her."
  276. "I see, so is Rainbow a friend of yours?"
  277. >"Yes, you can say that. My name is Rarity, and you are?"
  278. "Anonymous. Pleased to meet you Rarity. Now, I'm going to the hospital to check up on Rainbow Dash, care to join me?"
  279. >"But of course, let us not waste any more time!"
  280. >And with that, Rarity tells you to stand still for a moment as she teleports you both to the little Ponyville hospital
