Thread: MLP:FiM - A Journey Across Worlds

Hey there, guys and gals. I'm writing because my sudden surge of imagination hit me at the best possible time! So, I'm writing story on a subject that I haven't yet, so here goes nothin'! Going to start this out as a series of letters which will serve as the story before the character gets to Equestria and that's when the story really happens. Enjoy the pre-story! I'm Saren, Saren Crimson. For those of you who may not know, I'm a writer. I like to write. Write about different stories, different worlds, all of the lore and history of them all. Character interactions and development. I just love it. I've written many stories but I always thought what would happen if I was suddenly thrown into the world with no way to know how I got there nor how to get back. It'd be terrifying. It really would. Yet, it was in the back of my mind that I really wanted that to happen...I was sick of normality and wanted something impossible to happen. To meet characters that don't act like normal people do. To face dangers that doesn't happen in real life and be a hero for once. To actually to be the one to make a difference. I was thinking that while I was on my way back home from the airport. As I was driving, I couldn't stop thinking about it nor did I want to. It was nice to let my imagination wander a little and there was no cars on the road in this stretch of desert that I was currently traveling on. Just me and the long stretch of road. While I was traveling, however, I saw something very strange on the road way ahead of me. Something or someone was lying there in a dark robe-like coat on. Common sense told me to keep going and pretend like I didn't see it. This would be the kind of thing you'd see in horror stories and movies. Terribly cliche, right? Yet it was right in front of me and it had been a boring car ride so far since I was traveling alone. Yep, I was going to throw myself into potential danger because I was bored. What else is new? When was the last time you seen something interesting? Don't judge me! ...Sorry, anyway, I stopped in front of this mysterious figure and I got out the car. It...was wiggling around and squirming, struggling even. I was cautiously getting close to it but at the same time I was taking one step back for every four steps. When I finally got to the unknown entity, I moved my shaking hand toward the cloth then pulled it fast while stepping back faster than that. What I saw nearly gave me a heart attack! Not because it was scary, not because it could've been dangerous and it wasn't even because I couldn't believe it. It was that the thing I saw was completely illogical and impossible to exist in the real world. What I saw or what my brain could interpreted as was a horse...though it was much more smaller than a horse. A pony, maybe? Then again, it was much smaller than what the real world has. While I was in my moment of shock, this...pony or whatever it is had gotten up. I noticed it was and the first thing that came to my mind was. Are you alright? instead of what I wanted to say was What are you and who are you? but yet my protective instincts kicked in at the worst possible time and before I knew it, I was helping this creature up onto it's feet...er, hooves. I was just staring at this creature in awe and not saying a word. I mean, come on. How could I? Could you come up with any reason why a miniature pony would be standing in front of you? For some reason, the thought crossed my mind that it might be intelligent. Seriously, let's face it. This already impossible creature is in front of you and you'd probably find it incredibly more strange if it couldn't talk...Oh, I didn't even describe it to you yet. From what I could tell you about it's features, it's definitely female...I guess. She has wings which she was flapping. It's cyan in color and a rainbow colored mane. Yep, I know. I know what you're thinking and no, I'm not taking any drugs. I'm not hallucinating because it's hot out here and I'm fairly certainly that I'm not dehydrating either. This pony or whatever was more colorful than the rainbow...uh, well, it HAS a rainbow colored mane but...I don't know how to explain it! How would you explain it? That's besides the point right now. It spoke to me...this pony was using real words and it even knew english! This was amazing yet I was disturbed because I knew after I saw this, my life wasn't going to be the same again. Good. Was what I thought at that moment. I don't know if it's because the universe decided to throw me a bone or scientists were right all along but this was the end of a life of normality. When she spoke to me, she asked me where she was and of course I told her that she was on Earth. She looked at me like she didn't know what I was talking about. I kinda expected that reaction because there was no way something this unusual would ever know of the real world and it would be complete fiction that it did but then again, a pony of this size, color and the fact that it had wings was more unusual than her not knowing what Earth is. So I told her again, it being a planet and all. She seemed even lost than she was before then called me an egghead for knowing basic science lingo. I felt a little offended, don't know why. I've been called worse. I guess I felt as if that the first otherworldly being I find calls me a name for saying something remotely smart...regardless, I didn't get mad at her. How could I? Well, she told me that her name was Rainbow Dash and that she was the fastest pegasus. Whoa, what? There was more like her? The only Pegasus that we humans know are in greek mythology but she was throwing it around like there were thousands like her. Certainly can't be here in the real world, there would be an international uproar for this sort of thing and no doubt little girls would smother the poor pony before she gotten back to where she came from. Speaking of which, I asked her where she came from and she told me Equestria. Made sense considering that she's a horse and seemed fitting, at least. So...I guess you're wondering how she got here and you know, I was wondering as well. I doubt she and the rest of her kind lives anywhere in the world and if they did, they certainly kept themselves hidden great until now. Well, this world wasn't Equestria and I told her that. She seemed angry, maybe a little fustrated. I guess she must've been thrown from Equestria to here in the real world or at least our own reality. I asked her how she got here from Equestria to the real world. She told me that she was with her friend that she called Twilight. Sounds pretty dark, the name I meant. Anyway, she told me that she and Twilight were conducting an experiment. Hmm...guessing that this Twilight must be a scientist or something. Sorry, I keep getting off track here with my own questions. I promise it won't happen again...maybe. In any case, she and Twilight were trying a more advanced teleport spell. Whoa, these ponies can use magic? Why does this sound like something I heard before? Gah, I'm doing it again! Sorry, I'm really sorry but just bare with me a bit, okay? Okay...Well, Rainbow said while Twilight did the spell correctly and from what Rainbow had described it as riding on a river of light. Sounded nice until she told me what happened next. She said that Twilight said to her not to let go of her tail or she'd be teleported literally anywhere and I mean anywhere. Rainbow said that Twilight condensed the whole science in a five minute lesson that Rainbow said that she wished that she had listened to Twilight. She did manage to remember the name of this phenomenon, The Weststar Sling. I wondered how Rainbow could've hold on to a pony who was making them both travel at the speed of light. That's because she couldn't, she said that her hooves slipped and she was sent flying in a random direction within the stream of light. Rainbow said not even her wings could slow her down which is a given seeing as she got flung in a random direction at the speed of light. I'm surprised she's not dead, then again, she'd not normal so maybe certain rules don't apply to her because I mean, she had a cartoonish body and knowing cartoons in our world, these characters were nearly indestructible so I guess it's fair to say that she would still fall in that category. After asking Rainbow about it and her answering me, she wanted an answer from me. It was fair considering that I had been hammering her with questions for about an hour or so. She asked me my name and so I told her though I didn't think that would be a good idea to do that but hell, I was already in too deep when I decided to help her out. She instantly told me that my name was awesome and that I shouldn't change it. Not gonna lie to you, I was a bit proud that she said it then she told me to call her Dash and not Rainbow. Maybe it was too formal that I called her that and she wanted to just let me know? Regardless, I asked her did she need a ride. Dash had looked at my car which was a Dodge Viper that a friend and I had recently had gotten fixed for me to use. She told me that cars barely exist where she came from. I would've expected her to say not at all seeing that she has wings and all. Fairly certain that she could fly so why would she and the rest of her kind need cars? Maybe all the ponies that come from her world don't all have wings but she also said that cars wasn't widely used either so I'm guessing that they don't look anywhere as modern as I have right now. Dash asked me how fast it was and I told her. She laughed. Why? Didn't have any idea, I was more confused than insulted at this point and then she told me that she could break the sound barrier. It was my turn to laugh which I did...a little harder than I should have, admittedly. Though how would you take it? I mean, a pony faster than the sound barrier. It'd be absurd is what it would've been. She didn't take too kindly to that, however, she flew into the air faster than what I've seen in person. My face was frozen with both amazement and wonder. She was actually faster than my car, this little pony was faster than my car and she was going to prove that she could break the sound barrier. I know the skepticism in your voice because I had it in mine but believe me, I never would've believed her unless I saw it but her speed was already faster than my eyes could keep up with. When I focused my eyes again, she was so high in the air that I could barely see her. She was like a very tiny speck among the blue sky. Had it not been for it the dry weather of a desert, I probably never would've spotted her up so high. Well, she was just hanging there with a smirk on her face and she was looking dead at me. Oh, I didn't like that. My blood felt like it was freezing on the inside. I mean, I still don't know what kind of potential this pony had and I felt like I was about to have my answer. She suddenly started to make her decent down toward the ground and I stepped back the more she gotten closer toward my direction. She was getting faster and faster, a rainbow streak flowing behind her as she was plummeting toward the ground at breaknecking speeds. I hid behind my car but I couldn't take my eyes off Dash, the air around her was starting to show itself around her body. I began to wonder if she had what it took to break the barrier of air surrounding her body. While I was thinking that, her body started become stretched a little then BOOM! The sound of a rainbow colored sonic boom rung in my ears like a church bell is to a bell ringer. Despite that, that explosion was real and I was seeing it. It was fuckin' awesome! I mean, my face was just frozen with that same shocked look of disbelief. She gotten back down to my level and before she could ask a question, it seems the look on my face was the answer she was looking for. She fell to the ground laughing at my reaction and I shook out of it, watching her. A smile had stretched across my face at that time. I was getting comfortable with this creature...why? I didn't know but the biggest question I had for her was why she was not alarmed that she was seeing a human instead of one of her kind which I also asked. She told me it was because Twilight had been here in the human world. Wait, what? Really? A pony like her was in this world before and no one had said anything about it. No news stories or reports on it, not even the internet knew anything about it? Now that was impressive, if not, impossible. Someone had to say something about it but if nothing had surfaced about this whole thing, I guess someone must've kept their mouth shut about it. It would be the sensible thing to do since these ponies weren't exactly normal and I don't think that kind of publicity would be a good thing either. Well anyway, Dash gotten in my car while we were talking and she relaxed against the chair. Well, I went ahead and went on my way though I felt as if that I was going to have to do my best and try to hide Dash so no one would find her. This was going to be a long ride...I don't know if my sanity can take it but I sure as hell going to try! Signed, Saren Crimson. Letter 1 of 4
