The night sky over Equestria.It brimmed with countless beautiful,observable stars,yet the continent beneath them lay utterly lifeless.
This was Equestria.Once a vibrant utopia,the land was now steeped in darkness.Daylight was gone,and not a single pony remained.
BOOM!A meteor streaked through the night sky,shattering the dead silence.Friction with the atmosphere encased it in incandescent sparks as it plummeted.
CRASH!
Moments later,the meteorite slammed into the ground,the immense impact blasting a huge crater and shattering the object completely upon impact.
Crack...Crack!
From the shattered meteorite,a faint glimmer of light emerged.Gentle and ethereal,it floated into the air,drifted towards a random building,and slipped inside.
"What the fuck!"
In the loft of a barn,a human wearing an oval-shaped device on his left arm slowly awoke,patting his throbbing head.
"Where the hell did it send me?"
The young man dressed in black kipped up,but unfortunately slammed his head against the low ceiling.
THUNK!
"Ouch!"Gritting his teeth,the young man rubbed the back of his head where he''d hit it,forced to crouch down.
"Looks like I''m in some kind of attic...but why am I here?"

His eyes scanned the surroundings.Through a window,he confirmed it was night.Surprisingly,the buildings looked much smaller than those in the human world,and most seemed abandoned and dilapidated.
"I need to get out of here now and find that guy!"His expression turned cold.His name was Ethan.In his past life,he was the first Dunamist for Ultraman Nexus.His first enemy,however,had been Dark Zagi.Left with no choice,he''d grappled with the villain,detonating himself along with his foe.Waking up...had brought him here.
With that thought,Ethan activated the device on his left arm–a tech armament system,a combat support system developed back in his world,specifically designed to assist combat personnel.
[Beep.Querying map...Calibrating direction...Warning:Connection error.Entered unknown world.Unable to calculate specific location.]
"What?!"Ethan was stunned.Before he could process this,a loud noise erupted from behind him.Instinctively,he drew energy from his arm-mounted system,assuming the opening stance for the Particle Feather attack.
"Who''s there!"In the dim light,Ethan could barely make out the shape...was that a pony?
''What the hell...''Ethan''s mind reeled.Fortunately,his system quickly pulled up information,offering a hint.
[Analyzing Information...Analysis Complete.]
[Alert:You are currently in the Pony World(My Little Pony universe).]
[Pony Designation:Braeburn.]
[Remarks:In darker fan interpretations(dark fic),Braeburn is cited as a direct cause for Applejack''s alcoholism(''Drunken Jack'').He is also Applejack''s cousin(prior to her''fall'')and depicted as an irredeemable criminal.]
[Threat Level:Negligible.]
[Aggression:★]
"Huh.Braeburn?"
"You know me?"Braeburn,having just scrambled up into the loft,looked surprised.
"You!Who are you?!"Suddenly,a female voice cried out from behind Braeburn.Ethan focused his gaze.It was another pony,mane disheveled,hooves gripping a pitchfork,eyeing him warily.
[Analyzing Identity...]
[Designation:Applejack(Semi-corrupted state).]
[Profile:Temperament is somewhat irritable towards outsiders.Due to being raped by Braeburn,she is extremely fearful of her cousin.]
[Remarks:Prone to alcoholism.Note:Your arrival may have altered the course of events.]
[Threat Level:Negligible.]
[Aggression:★]
"Good grief.Seriously?"
Ethan absorbed the information,stunned.Simultaneously,his gaze towards Braeburn hardened with hostility.Even if he didn''t know this world,a pony who would dare lay a hoof on his own cousin...was definitely scum.
