[HEADING=1]IN EQUESTRIA![/HEADING]
RaN: "So, you're a pony in this dimension?"
Doctor: "Yes, I'm a pony now. Ponies are cool."
RaN: "Well then, I've seen everything."
Doctor: "Don't get smart with me now. Opening a transdimensional portal in this universe is highly illegal. We're lucky the Princess's guards haven't crashed down on us right now!"
RaN: "Oh..."
Doctor: "I think you owe your hosts a proper explanation as to who you are and how you came here."
RaN: "Yeah, I guess I owe them that much."
I walk into the main room of the library. Everyone I've met in Equestria is there, including Fluttershy.
RaN: "Listen up, everypony."
I cringe upon saying the word, but I manage to gather everyone's attention.
RaN: "Now first of all, I want to thank all of you for your kind hospitality today. Most folks from the place I'm from tend to frown upon helping others, but you girls have certainly treated me well. I know I haven't been much of a gracious guest. I think it's about time I tell you more about me and where I come from."
"I lived in a place called Earth. I'm part of a race of people who monitor the events of other worlds through the use of media, mostly for entertainment. It's sort of a hub world if you want to call it that. Where I come from, you girls are all from a television show called
Friendship is Magic. That's how I knew who you girls were before I arrived here."
"In my world, there's a turbulent place called 'The Mall'. Essentially it's a bloodsport where certain people are drawn in to fight. Some only stay for a little while, but others like myself have been around for a few months. Heck, many of the fighters there that I know of have been around for years."
"Suffice to say, events in the Mall generated a colossal war between the fighters, a race of cyborgs called Daleks, and a sadistic ghost we call Sister. It culminated in the creation of a portal that tore through reality and sent me here."
"I don't know if the others managed to survive, but if they did they're probably fighting Sister as we speak. She is a danger not just to my world, but to every universe. That's why I need your help to stop her. So, will you help me?"
I receive nothing but blank stares.
Applejack: "Can you repeat everything you just said,
slowly so we can understand?"
RaN: *sigh* "Alright, from the beginning..."
[HEADING=1]BACK AT THE MALL![/HEADING]
Tox appears in front of me.
RaN: "Hey Tox. How'd the fight go?"
Tox: "Okay I guess."
Martintox mutters to himself as he walks toward the elevator. It sounds as if he is having a private conversation with someone else.
As I get up off the floor, I notice a guitar case tucked in the arms of a dead man sitting in the corner. In his hand is a note.
I, Hatchet Jack, being of sound mind and broke legs, do leaveth my guitar to the next thing who finds it. It is a good guitar, and kilt the bear that kilt me. Anyway, I am dead.
Sincerley, Hatchet Jack.
I open the case.
"A Super 400!"
I gently take the guitar out of its case and swing it across my back. I pad the man's pockets and find a biro pen, a lighter, a pack of cigarettes, an empty flask, and a rather expensive looking watch. I pocket the items and walk into the elevator with Tox.
Ren's voice jumps out of nowhere.
Ren:
"HI RaNDUM!"
RaN, surprised:
"Ah!"
