@,

"Aye aye, captain."

Stephan jumped to the other ship and grabbed the fuel canister. He noticed that since the pirate's boat wasn't moving, the group's boat was getting further away, He quickly ran out of the pirate's boat and leaped to the group's boat and gave Fire the gas. "Here. Take it." He ran to Missy, who was still bleeding out of her wing. "That doesn't look good."

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Fire Horn took the canister and filled the engine up, there was still a lot left to last them a while.
"I'm going to search through the ship's cargo for anything we might have missed." Fire Horn said, poking his head through the door and going.

"OK, honey, love you." Missy said back, with a big smile.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand smiled. "Well there's nothing wrong with thinking about her. Just focus on the good memories rather then the bad. It sounds pretty difficult but sooner or later, thie bad memories will seem just a little bit further away." She said looking out into the ocean. "There's no evidence she's gone. One thing I lost sight if when I lost my sister was hope, but I firmly believe that hope is the reason ponies keep going. We hope there's a cure, we hope our loved ones are safe, we hope the ones that left us are still watching over us" she said, looking into the horizon.

"Well, yeah.. But even so it puts a lot of stress on me not knowing what happened to her."

He paused a bit there to take in another breath. "Anyway i'll try to do what you said, and the first thing is the memories we had before. You seemed to like Stephan a bit there, but I couldn't tell. Did you?"

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

@,

Stephan was once again confused. He pretty much damaged Missy's wing even more, and she's ignoring it like it's not even there. "Just be careful with your wing for a while, okay?"

 

@@Grand_Finale, @,

Stephan walks out to the exterior of the boat and sits beside Zeta and Grand. "Ugh. We're almost off of his stupid boat. Thank Celestia." Stephan said, as he put his arms behind his head and lied down.

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Fire Horn came back to the boat with a couple cans of fuel, a few guns and a bottle of whiskey (hey, equestria has alcohol).

"Guys, we're ready to set out, hold on tight." Fire Horn said and ran up to the controls, pushed the ignition, then let the boat go full throttle, all the way to Bruchellia.

-6.5 hours later-

The sun was setting over the horizon, land had been spotted two hours ago, they finally landed.
Missy's wing was bandaged and Starburst had been reassured of their parents' love for him and each other.
"According to the map, we're going straight up to the shrine." Fire Horn said. "Alright everypony, stay frosty.

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

@,

(OOC: This land has humans on it too, right? If it does, than I can have Stephan morph into his human version. If there aren't humans, I won't have him transform. If I did, it'd seem a bit out of place)

"Alright! Let's get down to it and save Equestria!" Stephan jumped off the ship and landed on the soil. It felt so good to be walking an land again, even if there wasn't much grass.

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

(I don't want to spoil anything for anypony, but Ghost's transformation can and will be used.)

"Be careful, Ghost, we've got no idea what creatures could be out here." Missy said. "I haven't read into this place too much but i know that the creatures here are ten times as big as a Manticore."
"Alright, we set up shelter in that cave up there." Fire Horn said, pointing to a small cave entrance on the side of the mountain.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand hesitated before jumping off the boat, making sure she had everything she needed. The land was so strange, and much Warner than equestria. She looked around and was pleased to see a few plants she recognized from the book. "Well now that we're here, where do we go?" She asked, looking to see any signs of civiluzation

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

@@Grand_Finale,

Stephan looked around the area. It made him feel a little happy, in fact. It actually felt a little like... home. "Apparently, we need to find this shrine. Maybe it holds some sort of element or spell that can solve Equestria's problems." Stephan said.

@,

"Then what are we standing around here for. Let's do it!" Stephan exclaimed

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"I told you guys already." Fire Horn said. "The humans didn't have key species variations like ponies, but what they did have... was imagination, but a great plague fell over humankind, forcing them to invent a magical solution, but humans couldn't channel magic as we do, so they could not activate it."

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

@,

Stephan remembered the humans. If they stayed on this land for too long, he would transform, revealing his true self. He didn't want that to happen. He was afraid of the other's reactions. He tried to ignore the fact. "So how did they survive the plague without a solution?"

Zeta hopped off the boat as well with the other group, landing next to Grand to join in the conversation. "Magic? So you would need unicorns for this then. Maybe it would be best to protect the ones we have now so we can find this cure and get out as fast as possible, since I have a feeling staying here for too long would be dangerous."

"They didn't survive, they escaped and evolved, using the mirror portal currently residing in the Crystal Empire, i was taught all this by a unicorn named Lyra Heartstrings, she seemed awfully obsessed by it, like it was a hobby." They reached the cave, alright, earth ponies go find some firewood, don't worry about lighting it, they don't call me Fire Horn for nothing."

@,@,@@Grand_Finale,

(OOC: I shall take this moment to transform.)

"No problem, Fire." Stephan walked out into the cave and looked for wood. He eventually found a whole pile of small logs out in the middle of the forest. "Score!" He picked up the wood and began carrying it back to the cave. As he was approaching it, he stopped dead in his tracks and dropped the wood. It seemed that he couldn't move. His body began glowing a radiant gold shine. "Ummm... guys?"

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Fire Horn looked outside to see Ghost being enveloped in a strange light, a golden vapor, almost, he started to glow very brightly.
"Ghost? What aren't you telling me?" Fire Horn asked. "Don't say nothing, THIS... is not nothing, no there is a high level of magic here."

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

@,

"I... I don't know, Fire. But I don't think that this 'thing' is going to let me move!" Stephan was taken off of the ground and he began levitating into the air, glowing brighter and brighter. "I swear, I'm not doing any of this!" The glow kept surrounding him until there was no visible part of Stephan left. All there was was a giant, golden ball of light. 

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"I believe this is a transfiguration spell, which means that Ghost is going to chang into a different form." Missy said. "The magic concentration is off the charts, it should be killing him, but i don't think it will.
"Ghost, don't abandon us!" Fire Horn shouted.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand ran over, fear in her eyes. "Other form? What on earth are you talking about. Stephan,new hats going on!" She yelled, watching what was happening before her eyes. " this won't kill him right?" She said, looking at missy. "We've been here for half an hour and this is already happening?!?"

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

@,@, @@Grand_Finale,

The golden ball around Stephan broke away, making strong winds in all directions. What appeared before the group was a totally different Stephan; a human version. He had the bluish just like he did before, only it looked a little lighter. His skin was tanish and he wore a red shirt, a blue jacket and shorts, and sneakers the color of his hooves. Stephan lightly levitated back to the ground and lifted his head up to the group, showing them, well, him. "Well... this is the real me..." 

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Fire Horn stood speechless, he was a human a hum... bu...
"wha... i don.... when did....?" Fire Horn asked. "ah, to tartarus with it, i'm too tired for this s**t." Fire Horn turned and entered the cave.
"I'm familiar with the form, but not the existence in our world, why are you human?" Missy asked

Zeta too was pretty speechless from all of it, but he remained calm when all was through. "So that's what would be who you are.. Human you say? I have never heard of such being until now, so it's interesting."

Because of this new form that Stephan had become, he walked up to him to examine him all around. Touching his body, his clothes, rustling through his hair and all that good stuff. It felt so wonderful to experience something new to him, and the fact that he had hands.. It was just marvelous.

"What would these be?" He asked, moving his fingers around.

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

@, 

Stephan sighed and sat down. "Let me just say I'm more of a human than a pony. I'm originally from Earth.  I'm sure you're familiar with the planet, too. I spent a good chunk of my life as my normal human self there. When I fell into Equestria years ago, I guess I became a pony. I don't really tell many ponies about my human self. If I did... they'd probably look at me as an outcast..."

 

@, 

Stephan looked down at his hand. "Well, those would be fingers, Zeta. Humans use them to pick up objects. I personally think it's easier to use a hand rather than a hoof." He said.

"Fingers you say?" Zeta asked while examining it more. "There is 5 of them, all different lengths and sizes, and each one has a little joint in between.."

He began to rub on them with his nuzzle while putting a smile on his face. To him the skin felt pretty soft and warm, so he loved to feel it a good bit. "Please, tell me more about you~"

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"Let me tell you, when i encounter something i don't know or haven't seen before, i am filled with curiosity, but with this, i don't feel excitement, or any curiosity, i just want to be away from all this." Missy said, looking at the new Stephan with a frightened but sad expression, she ran off into the cave also.
