> The Trans-Dimensional War > by Moon Dash > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: First contact > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, you want to know my story from the great war, eh? Well, kick back and relax, This story is amazingly filled with action, capturing... love and loss, and kicking some misunderstood ass... It all started with the Warp gates that the scientists opened... thousands of brightly colored things poured out of the gate... we found that they were pony like things, with Unicorn, Pegasui, and their leader was a mix between the two, an Alicorn they called it, but now where I come in... Fifteen long years... fifteen long years of war and disappearances. We (the humans) have been at war with the demonic Pegsui and other versions of ponies for fifteen years. At the start of the war, I was only three years old. Today is my eighteenth birthday. Me and my friends celebrate by doing what any other 18 year old would do, smashing mailboxes in the middle of the night with a cricket bat. We generally have a fun time until the police catch up. We have two punishment choices. 1, we get shipped off to fight for our country or 2, pay for all the damages and sent to jail for two months, and thus the real story begins... Two months after smashing the neighbors mailboxes, Logan and I (the only two that chose to fight) are suiting up in our standard, top of the line Forest Green battle suits. A full helmet with a Silver visor is also standard issue along with battle rifle with ten clips are allotted to us As were Riding into battle, Logan asks me "How do you think the Ponies attack? I'm positive they won't kill us on the battlefield." I reply "I hope you're right, this war, according to the news has had only MIA's, actually makes ya' think what's happening out there Suddenly, the sarge gets on the Drop Ship's intercom and blazes out of his mouth "WE ARE LANDING NOW, GIT YOUR ASSES OFF THIS SHIP AND GIT SHOOTING OR WE’LL PUSH YA OUT RIGHT ONTO THE ENEMY.” “ He seems nice” I mutter to Logan “think he’s first one gonna be snatched up by the ponies?” “If he gets taken we’ll be screwed, we gotta keep him” Logan replies “Whatever, lets get ready for this damn drop” “LOCK N’ LOAD BOYS” Sarge shouts as he’s walking down through the middle of the drop ship. "THEY WON'T LET THIS BIRD ALONE IN ONE SPOT FOR LONG." He says in almost a joking tone. "where's Jon? He should be suited up by now..." I mutter to Logan as we glide into the battlefield. Suddenly, a massive THUMP! Smashes down onto the top of the crew deck, slightly denting the top of the deck ceiling. "There he is" I state, Jarrett chuckles at this. The Sarge splits us up, and sends us in geared up in Promethean style equipment, the best addons that money can buy for our suits, it comes equipped with a Full HUD Interface like on every stereotypical shooter game out there. Looking back on it, that was the last time I saw sarge. But that mysterious masked man, Jon saved me on Numerous occasions... but now back to the story... The morning after is the first contact we had with the pegasui, they swooped down, grabbing us by the arms and carrying us away... The world seemed blank to me in that moment. The last thing I remembered seeing before being taken myself was Jon... saving Jarrett from an otherwise, what I would have thought at the time as doom. As that Cyan colored pegasui slowly rose because of my gerth, rainbow colored mane and all, I wrapped around on top of her and snapped one of her wings with a big SNAP! As blood rushed out where the skin was slightly torn, falling to the ground almost 2 Kilometers away "unh..." the Cyan pony moans as I get up off her, I realize all of a sudden, this is one of the Alicorn's top advisors "Who are you, and why did you take me away from my friends" I scream at the Cyan pony with the rainbow colored mane, pointing my Assault rifle at her "I'm Rainbow Dash, and you don't understand our tactics, do you? Twilight, fix my wing, Galaxy, take down our friend to take him to base." Rainbow Dash says to the other ponies now standing inexplicably next to her, looking at their foreheads suggests that they must have teleported to Dash, one almost completely purple with a lighter purple streak going through her mane, and the other moving towards me, with a mishap mash of red, white, pink and orange in her mane and a dark pink engulfing her body. Her eyes twinkle with the dark night stars, as beautiful as they are in the moonlight, the pony bearing them are as a gryphon poised to kill. That was the last thing I remember before the ponies evil spell sending massive writhing, burning, red hot pain going through my body. "How do you like that?" Says the one coming towards me, her Horn lit up as it becomes clear she is causing the pain, I throw a random punch trying to break the horn... SNAP!! goes the cream coloured object, flying off the filly's head. Dark red blood starts gushing out of the opening left by the by the now snapped off horn. All three ponies now starting to charge as the purple pony starts to cast the same spell, but... weaker, her spell has almost no effect on me as I charge up to her to snap her horn off, suddenly I am met with a strong and... well, annoyingly ticklish feeling, knowing that my end may be near, I take my last concussion grenade and throw it to the ground and run as fast as sonic to get out of the range of the explosive. The grenade goes off with a loud, earth shaking BOOM! The ponies are stunned as I pick up my assault rifle and blast randomly behind me, I'm sure most of the bullets hit the ground until I hear another groan from Rainbow Dash, I sprint off into the misty jungle. In the Jungle, there is no clear path, ecspially if there is a misty haze hanging over the jungle floor, shrouding all wildlife and all the roots, downed branches, and living plants that could impede my movement, but they do not chase me so that they don't fully get their hooves dirty "Wusses" I think to myself as I slow down to a jog, I find a small clearing to see up a camp, so I pitch the tent and roll out everything that I'll need for the night. Then I sit out, with my Assault rifle at the ready to kill anything that tries to attack me or steal from my camp. > Chapter 2: The Jungle > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first night in the jungle I've made it about two Kilometers while surely not being chased down by my first pony assailants. When I set up camp I think "should I set up a fire? The Pegasus might see me from above, I'll have to risk it" I say to myself as I took out my lighter from my side storage compartment and light the small stack of branches I have stacked next to me; They'd have to look very hand to see me as I put a cover over my tent, taking away most of the ability for the light to surpass the lowest of branches and slight fog. As I am lying down to start to sleep, I see multiple stripes, I scream out, "Who are you, A man, or ponies?" "You must learn a lot, If you expect to not be jungle rot" The zebra says in a calm tone I'm amazed that any kind of pony could form something as witty as that single rhyme, I reply back to the zebra "Ok then, who are you and what do you want from me?" "You must learn patience, if you will defy the pony queens, Celestia, Luna, twilight, and Cadence" calmly says the zebra "you must first assimilate into the herd, before you are that very absurd." Suddenly, Rainbow Dash crashes down onto the ground with earth shaking force. As two small flashes appear next to her, a now princess version of the purple pony appears with a pink pony with some sort of cannon. Rainbow Dash rears up to jump at me and starts to fly at me. I grab onto her wing and hold on with all my might, ripping the first one off. The second one isn't strong enough to hold the horse up, so I throw back the wing to give them a fighting chance should they try to mend it. "where's your alicorn goddesses now ponies?" I yell to them from accross the clearing. the purple one steps up closer to me "pinkie, FIRE THE PARTY CANNON!" An audible "YAY!" Can be heard from the pink pony as streamers, glitter, and confetti blasts out of the cannon with a loud Kazoo noise, getting all over my Helmet and getting on my visor, Impairing my vision could be the end of me, so I take off my helmet for the time being. Throwing it to the muddy ground, the alicorn takes this as her chance to take me down. She screams "Shoot the friendship darts! Throw the Tolerance gas cans!" Just as the poisonous darts start to fly and the sleeping gas cartridges are flying, I take my confetti'd helmet and run towards the alicorn, Smashing into with all the force of a Gravity Hammer (Halo 3+) into her, brutally bashing her body with the Butt of my rifle. Until the Darts hit me. I have been hit with so many darts, my mind goes almost utterly dark. I can't see anything except for a blur of colors. I can only hear ponies singing dreadful songs about some "winter wrap up" thing and then about smiling for some reason. On the outside I'm sure my sclera (the usually white part of the eye) is turning into the colors of the rainbow as I'm being seduced into nothing more than the cognetical activities of an ant so they can drag me away silently. The thought of his still frightens me today from their attack in that jungle. The next two days were a massive blur of the zebras carrying me to the pony's FOB (Forward Operating Base). All I remember was that all I was ever given to eat was some apple product or some kind of bread. My head started to clear up when we got to the base. By that time, I had been dragged, with rainbow sclera through the jungle for 10 miles a day. During that walk, Galaxy joined us after she had recovered from my first contact with ponies, she often used her magic to keep me off the ground to be a nice filly to a guy like I. While she was walking beside me, I talked to her and we realized we have a lot in common. We both like to play Halo and Skyrim, I ask her if she wants to know more about humans. Without notice, a mint green unicorn runs up to me and starts to jump up and down excitedly screaming "Teach me! Teach me!" The pony exclaims as Galaxy says to her "calm down, nobody is going to be talking about humans, Lyra" "She sure is excited over nothing" I tell galaxy as the mint green pony walks away distraught as though she had just lost a dear friend. "she was dating a human during the ceasefire one and a half years ago" Galaxy mummers to me as I'm floating and she's walking, "She never got over her loss of her Super Special Somepony, she's never recovered since." Says Galaxy with a now grim face, her whole body seems to get greyer as she says it, her head starts to droop during this. I realize this so I bring it back to a topic we can relate to. Gaming. As were going into the FOB, Galaxy knocks me out without warning, the last thing I remember is a large steel gate with a dark inside. 'This must be the warp gate' I think to myself as I am half floated half dragged into the portal's dark center. All goes black after this point, I feel as if I'm going to die going through the gate to the ponies homeland. Equestria. > Chapter 3: Ponyfication > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wake up on a wooden table strapped down, with most of the lights off except for one shining down in my general area, Eight Ponies surround me, three I recognize from earlier, Dash, Twilight, and Galaxy, the others are quite foreign to me, two normal ponies, another Pegasus, unicorn, and their leader, the alicorn is standing behind a window. The two Normal ones intrigue me the most. One is completely pink and the other is a sort of orange color with a rancher hat on. The other Pegasus is yellow with a pink mane, and the other unicorn is white with a Flowing, Luscious purple mane. "Start the procedure! I want him to be ready by sunset!" Shouts the Alicorn, "I want him ready for my sister by sundown." "ready for what?" I ask the ponies surrounding me. By this time, they've already started using Twilight's magic to slowly transform my body into a technicolor cretin like... thing. The white pony joins in on the spell, along with Galaxy as the two pegasui grab various tools and spellbooks as the earth ponies do the same and handle various tools and carry out my dented pieces of armour, I assume that they will use it to make pony versions for their troops. "Don't worry! I'm Pinkie Pie and I'll make sure that nothing that bad happens to you, were just using you to end this war silly!" exclaims the bright pink, curly haired earth pony. "How are you going to end the war with me? I'm just an enlisted soldier." I reply to the ponies "It's simple, we turn you into a pony, have you take the pony killer away, bring him to us, and we ransom him for peace!" Applejack proclaims. "What's wrong with you demons? Turning me into a pony to betray my friends?" I yell at the ponies as they begin to intensify the magic, speeding up the excruciating process of changing my body into a completely different form with hooves and a set of wings. A bright blue coat with a red and orange mane engulf my body as I change into a pony version of myself, a symbol in resemblance of a Xbox Controller goes on either side of my now blue flanks. "YOU MONSTERS!" I scream as I get off the table, wobbly while trying to get used to the new hooves. They feel heavy and quite awkward while stumbling around "Don't get moving around much yet, Luna needs to turn you into a fully fledged pony with the help of alicorn magic" says Galaxy, her colorful mane flowing as she runs to my side to keep me from not falling, "thanks" I quickly mumble to her, starting to notice I am slurring my words, I shut up as they brace me up as i'm walking through the brightly colored hallways as we slowly make it to the moon alicorn's room. Once we get there, they throw me in, shutting the door quickly behind them "WHO ARE YOU" Princess Luna shouts in her "royal equestrian court" voice "I am Piershe... of eurth..." I say as my voice is getting more slurred and hard to tell what I'm saying by the minute "Did they tell you what you need to do to have spell reversible after were finished with you? It's quite gruesome indeed" The dark Ponie's voice now lowered "You must do one of two things... Kill a Human, which we have never allowed to anyone, or..." the purple Alicorn stops talking for a moment... thinking if it is the right choice to do or not, if she tell me, I can change back as long ask want to, but if she doesn't, ill be stuck in pony form forever. She finally decides to tell me "The other way is to vow to always love and adore our kind, realize that we never wanted this war, do you?" Luna states to me "I realize that the humans took the ponies unfairly into the war and I vow to always love and adore your kind" I state in a matter-of-factly tone. "Good, now... you must perform a certain ritual; one that requires skill beyond comprehension to be fully reversible, you must find a filly (or colt), and you must become their Super special somepony, do that and both of you can change into ponies forever, humans forever, or whatever you so desire. "what does "Super Special Somepony" mean?" I ask the demonic pony, her mane flowing with the colors of the night sky "It sounds useless to me." "It means you have to find a pony who you like very much, and you have to swear to love them always, this is the meaning of all ponies lives, and I want you to give it to the one you talked to and who helped on your inevitable journey here. Give the gift of true love to who you so choose. The time of the world will tell who you choose whether it's Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Galaxy, or any other ponies you have come to have a relationship with. Love them with all your heart and our worlds will be right again." The dark pony is now almost whispering, weakened from spells performed for my sake. After giving her a thank you, I bolt out of the door, running to galaxy, I smash through walls of pony guards just to get to her. The guards are trying to hold back copies of themselves, which I thought was odd, since I had never seen such a thing. The evil versions of ponies I find out are changelings. One of them hisses at me then turns into a copy of me. I slam the copy with spine shattering force thanks to my back legs and newly formed hooves. Blood comes splattering out of his skull, causing the creature to revert back to its old self after falling down. Dead. Multitudes of me spring out of the crowd, the guards and I are eventually able to push the changelings back through the portal, but changelings and equestrian guards alike lay sprawled across the ground. The grass and soil underneath is a dark, crimson red from the numerous bodies. I recontinue my run to Galaxy. Faster than Shadow, I half slide, half sprint across the rest of the way. Only to find an empty, bloodied house. The walls are stained with blood from numerous changelings laying on the ground suffering from death. I find Galaxy in a corner shivering in fear for what she has done. "Why the long face?" I ask, trying to be as serious as possible. "I killed them, I am a... Murderer... a monster... GET AWAY FROM ME!" She screams at the top of her voice. "I DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE!!" She continues to scream. "Hey, don't get mad... we all have to do things that we don't deem right sometimes..." I say to her in a calming voice. Realizing this isn't the best time to ask her. But I lie there for a bit with her to comfort her. Surprisingly, she is the next to say something. "I'm sorry for crying and getting mad, it's just that I feel like I'm committing suicide whenever I kill one" she sobs "do you think that, we could be Super special someponies?" She finally asks, Liquid joy starts welling up as I giver my answer. "yes, I'll love you with all my heart, and no matter what, I'll be there for you until the day you die." I boldly pronounce "thank you..." she says as she falls asleep into my shoulder. I'll keep her safe no matter what the cost. I am her Gentlecolt, and I've realized that these ponies are more than just horses, but there just as humane as we are inhumane
