Yuu Xeno

Yeah, as well as not being too cliche. I think it's been done before in some fanfics I've read, but far less than just some portal. What other things did you want to discuss?

9/10

No, there isn't an actual portal though. It simply is just Celestia reaching out and taking us to Equestria. If you want, we can wake up when it's dark though, wander a bit, and find the portal, if that's better?

My bad @Pr0m4NV14, I just messed up my sleep schedule...again :/ As for method of transportation, I was thinking this. Our characters are driving down an interstate or something, the main point is we are in a car. Then, a deer or something runs out into the road and we crash. Afterwards we wake up in Equestria because Celestia had been watching us for a bit and teleported us there to save our lives. Our characters don't know this though, of course, but they will eventually.

I find them pretty sad, honestly. I had a kid(A legit kid, like 12 or something) say I was a, and I quote," Faggot who should slit my wrists and should go back to banging my sister". Later on, I found out he was really big into anime. By really, I mean REALLY into it. Someone says you suck, just laugh with them and agree. Someone says your gay for liking MLP, just say "I know, right?" You can't get rid of the haters. You just make room for them.

I may be a guy, but who wouldn't have a slight(If not massive)crush on Nathan Drake?

Rhett didn't even noticed the Viral Pete had put down only inches away from him, he just kept running. After a few more seconds, they reached the front door of the house. Rhett kicked it in and put Twilight down on the floor. "Twilight, Applejack, get up to the attic! The hatch is next to the bathroom up the stairs." He pointed towards the staircase. "Pete, get ready to light up anything that comes through that door!" Applejack followed Rhett's orders, seeing as he was probably the most fit to give them at this point. She was scared out of her mind, and a little sick from seeing Peter...kill that thing. She didn't know why, but it felt as if the Human had just killed one of his own kind. Now wasn't the time to bring it up, though. She helped Twilight up the stairs, who still seemed a little woozy.

As they continued running for what felt like hours, a small incline started to appear, and soon, the house. Rhett sighed internally and dropped his speed a little. "We're almost there, up the hill." He said. Applejack also sighed in relief, but the closer they got, so did the screams. Against her better judgement, she turned her head towards the way they came and saw something that was one of the most terrifying things in her life. There was about two dozen of them, and they looked the same as Rhett and Peter. The only difference was, they were all bloody and their clothing was ripped to shreds. They were running as fast as they could, screaming and snarling. She looked away and made a final effort for the house, hoping they wouldn't grab her hooves in a split second.

Yeah, sure. That would be fine. How's he going to jump into this, is my question. Same way Melody did, or...?

"Alright, everyone on my heels!" Rhett ordered. With that, the four took off. However, the noise they were making caught the attention of the Virals. The noise they were making could be heard for miles. He noticed Twilight was having a hard time keeping up, and if he didn't do something, she wouldn't make it. He slang his rifle over his back and fell behind a little, and without a word, picked up Twilight in his arms. Applejack saw this, and as much as she was scared for Twilight around these Humans, there were more pressing matters to deal with. Whatever was making those screams, they sounded like they were in a lot of pain, and as she dared to say, insane even. She picked up the pace to keep up with their much longer strides, keeping close to Peter.

Applejack flattened her ears as well. "What's going on? Who are they?" As much as she didn't want to know, it was obvious by the Peter and Rhett's behavior it didn't mean anything good. Rhett ran a number of options through his head, before looking at the two ponies. "Alright, we need to go. Now." He then turned to Peter,"That house on the hill, when was the last time you were there?" It may have been a ways away, but it was the only shelter for miles. It would have to do, if they wanted even a slight chance at living.

Applejack cocked her head,"What's a State of Washing-what?" In all her life, she's never heard of that place before, and she's been all across Equestria. Sure, it may have been for just selling apples, but her point still stands. Rhett glanced at Peter, who had the same look of 'What the hell?' He was about to explain when he heard a scream. It was a bit of a ways off, and was mostly blocked by the trees, but he knew what it was. He stood up, readying his M16. "Shit, Virals." He cursed.

Applejack looked to Twilight, remembering the events before...this, all happened. "I think Twi might be a better pony to ask. She's better at all this magic-do-hickey than ah am, plus it was her that did the spell anyways." Rhett raised an eyebrow,"Spell? As in...magic?" He was a little confused by what Applejack meant, but with everything that's happened in the last few minutes, he really shouldn't be surprised. There were dead people walking around and killing the living, for Christ's sake.

Rhett treated Twilight a bit more, and once he finished, he sat up with a sigh. "Well, I'm no expert on...Unicorns, but it looks as if your noggin was..." He paused for a moment,"damaged, it seems." Applejack raised an eyebrow,"What do ya mean, damaged?" Rhett shrugged,"I mean, her brain has some damage done to it. Like, bad." He rubbed the back of his neck,"Good news is, it's not permanent, but it'll take a bit to heal."

"There's a bathroom in my room, should have a brush somewhere in there." Rhett said, taking out a bag of Coco Puffs. As he continued his masterpiece, he felt an odd feeling wash over him. It felt...unnatural, as if something was touching his mind, in a sense. Whatever it was, though, disappeared as fast as it came. He blinked a few times, trying to figure out what just happened. He shook it off as just some random feeling, and went back to making his bowl of cereal.

"Applejack." She said simply. "What about you two fellas?" Still working on Twilight, Rhett looked up to the pony now know as Applejack. "I'm Rhett." He took off the cloth, seeing as the swelling of the injury was already going down. He didn't know how or why it was like that, but he honestly didn't want to find out.

With semi-shaky hands, Rhett took a piece of cloth and doused it with cool water from his canteen. "Now, uh...pony, this might be a bit cold, so bear with me, okay?" With that, he placed the cloth on her forehead, where a nasty looking burn was. He was almost tempted to touch her horn, to see if it was actually real, but decided against it. Applejack watched cautiously for any signs of danger from the Human. He might've looked friendly, but who knows if he would hurt Twilight or not. 'Better safe than sorry.' She told herself.

Rhett glanced over to Peter, giving him a look of 'why?'. He then got the first aid kit from his backpack and took out some things to help. 'I'm helping a talking Unicorn/Pegasus...great.' He sighed to himself. "They're...Humans." Applejack told her friend. As she saw the one with long hair start working, she noticed that they looked very dirty and beat up. Why were they out here, and why did they look as if they went through Tartarus and back?

Rhett chuckled,"Yeah, almost." He glanced down to his watch, seeing it was a little past five in the morning. "I'll make some breakfast, yeah?" He held his tongue on her sleep talking, for now at least. He was quite curious as to who Luna was, he'd admit. Standing up, he went into the kitchen and took out two bowls and a jug of milk.

Applejack sat near Twilight, putting a hoof on her shoulder. "Twilight, it's okay. Ah found some help, don't worry." She then gestured to the two Humans making their way over. Upon seeing the orange pony sitting next to what looked to be a purple one, he gave a loud sigh," Great. I was hoping for less colors." He sat down next to the orange pony, then looked over the purple one. This pony was purple, obviously, and her mane was a darker shade pf purple with a few streaks of pink. The one thing about her, though, was she had a pair of wings and a horn. 'Unicorn?' He thought. 'This is officially the weirdest day of my life.'

Rhett gave a quick nod,"Y-yeah. Where's your...friend." He screamed internally just thinking there could be another talking horse somewhere. Applejack motioned with her hoof behind her,"This way." With that, she galloped with all her strength back to Twilight. Rhett looked to Peter, giving him a confused look while he grabbed his backpack.

Rhett's eyes went wide upon hearing the pony talk. How in the world did a pony, an animal, just speak English? Any thoughts of him going crazy were now confirmed, to say the least. "Y-yeah...w-what he...said." He stuttered. Applejack cocked her head a bit. Why were these...Humans, as the one said, so surprised all of the sudden when she talked. Was it because they were in these woods for years, and never seen anypony for ages? She was about to ask when she heard Twilight groan from where she had been laying. "My friend, she needs help!" She shouted. "Can you please help her?"

Applejack didn't know what to make of the situation. These...strange creatures seemed nice, and she could tell they weren't acting. She wasn't the Element of Honesty for no reason. She tried to speak, but she was still having a hard time finding the right words. She's never seen or heard of anything like these creatures, let alone think they could talk. Again, they seemed friendly, if their words were anything to go by. Finally, she managed out a few words. "W-what are...you?" She muttered.

Rhett lowered his gun completely, running a hand through his hair. He honestly wanted to just shoot it, seeing as they needed food. But, something stopped him from doing it. It seemed so...Human, yet animal at the same time. The main thing was it's facial expressions. It obviously was frightened, but it was blown way out of proportion for just an animal. "Hey." He sat on one knee, kneeling down to its level. It was still ten feet away, but he wanted to make sure he didn't seem like he would harm it. "I'm not gonna hurt you. You don't have to be scared." He gave a soft smile. Again, if he was being honest, he felt like this...pony could understand him, judging by its face.

Rhett was the same as Peter, staring intently at the small horse. It was orange, with a blonde mane and even a hat on its head. Was he going insane? "Yeah...I am..." He muttered, lowering his rifle slightly. This didn't make any sense. Did the virus mutate some poor pony or something? Or is this just some cruel joke by God, who he was starting to doubt was even real anymore.
