Hello, everyone! And welcome to my first ever MLP story.This is also my first self-insert fanfic on this site. It's called "The Day I went to Equestria". This story is an AU that takes place after season 8. It's about the adventures of an 18 year old brony who gets magically brought to Equestria and that's all I'm gonna tell you. I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil anything. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it! Disclaimer: I DO NOT own "MLP: FIM." All rights go to it's respective owners.

Chapter 1: Arrival

The area is surrounded by darkness. There is a faint groan. A female voice spoke.

"Wake up." It said.

"Huh? Who's that?" Another voice asked.

"Ah, you're awake. Finally." The female voice said.

"That voice." The other thought, "Where have I heard it? No! It can't be!"

"Who are you? Where am I?" The other voice asked.

A struggling grunt is heard after the rattling of chains.

"What the... Why do I feel chains? Why am I in chains?!"

"Patience, my future warrior. All of your questions will be answered soon." Said the voice.

"Oh really? When?" The other voice asked.

"Now!"

Two green beams of light shot from both sides of the area and two big torches are lit with a green flame. The light revealed an eighteen year old boy wearing blue plaid pajama pants with a navy blue pajama shirt. He had brown eyes and shaggy brown hair. Both of his arms were in chains. He rolled his eyes around to check his surroundings. He heard the buzzing of wings and finally, the clopping of hooves coming near. When he looks forward, he finds the source of the sounds. Standing in front of him were creatures that looked like little black unicorns with light blue eyes, sharp teeth, and bug-like wings. They were smiling evilly at the boy. He stares at the creatures in shock.

"Changelings? But they're not supposed to be real." He thought, "Wait a minute. This obviously has to be a dream. The changelings only exist in 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'. But if by some chance I'm not dreaming or going insane, I think I might be in Equestria. If that's the case, that means these things are the real changelings. Which also means..."

Before he could think any further, he heard the opening and closing of a huge door followed by the clopping of hooves coming towards him. He sees two big green eyes staring at him. When the green eyed figure stepped into the light, the boy could see it clearly. The creature also looked like a unicorn and it was taller than the other creatures. It was black except for a hint of green in its back. Its wings were also bug-like. Its mouth contained sharp teeth like the other creatures. Finally, it had two different shaped horns. One on the top of its head and one on its forehead. The first one looked like a crown with light blue tips. The second one looked like a regular horn except it looked gnarled. The creature had an evil smirk on its face.

"Salutations, my friend." It said.

"Oh, shit." Said the boy.

"I can see you are surprised." Said the creature, "Right now you have some questions on your mind. 'Why am I here?' 'What are these creatures staring at me?' And last but not least, 'Who am I?' I will answer those questions for you. But on one condition."

"What's that?" Asked the boy.

"Tell me your name."

"What?"

"You introduce yourself, I introduce myself, and give you the information you want. No introduction, no answers. Simple as that." The creature said.

"Kaleb. Kaleb Clouse." Said the boy.

"Now was that so hard? You are in none other than Equestria."

Kaleb's eyes widened.

"I knew it!" He thought.

"Surprised aren't you? My name is Queen Chrysalis." The creature introduced.

"These are the changelings. My babies." She said as she gestured to them, "When you were asleep back on Earth, I took the opportunity of having a few of my changelings bring you here."

"That still doesn't explain why I'm chained up to the stinking wall." Kaleb said, half irritated.

"I am getting to that." Queen Chrysalis said, "It is part of why you are here. But there is one favor I must ask you to do if you want more information."

"And that favor is?" Kaleb asked.

For a moment, there was silence. Finally, Queen Chrysalis spoke.

"I want you to break free of your chains." She said.

Kaleb is confused.

"What the hell is she talking about?" He thought, "How can she expect me to break these? Who do I look like? Superman?"

"What was that again?"

"Did you hear me the first time?"

"Yeah."

"Then I'm not going to tell you again." Said Queen Chrysalis.

"What?! Listen, Chrysalis. I don't know if you realize this, but I can't break these chains even if I wanted to!" Kaleb said.

"First of all, it's QUEEN Chrysalis. Second, you can and you will. Now do it!" The changeling queen demanded.

"Just how the heck do you expect me to-"

"Now!"

Kaleb sighed in defeat.

"Alright. Alright! Alright! I can take a freaking hint! I'll try." He said.

He struggled to break the chain on his left hand, but to no avail. He tries to break the chain on his right hand, but he gets the same result. Then, he pushed his bare feet against the wall to try and break both of his chains at the same time. He kept on struggling, but no matter how hard he tried, the chains would not break. He looked at Queen Chrysalis. From the look on her face, he could tell she was getting impatient. Seeing the queen's expression, he knew he needed to try again. He struggles with his right arm again. He tries harder and harder until he hears a chain break.

However, when the chain on his right arm broke, he realized something odd. He knew that normally he would be dangling by the chain on his left arm. But that was not the case. Instead, he was flying. Upon seeing this, he was shocked. When he opened his left hand, he saw that his fingernails had changed into short but sharp claws.

"What the... What happened to my fingernails? I remember letting my nails grow, but this is ridiculous." He thought.

When Kaleb bit his his lip, something else happened. He felt a sharp pain in his lower lip.

"Ow! Damn it!"

He put two fingers on his lip and pulls them away to see blood on his fingertips. The strange part was that the blood drop was not small as usual. It was bigger and dripping.

"What's going on?" He thought, "I know that I bit my lip before and it bled on some occasions, but not like this. My teeth aren't that sharp. Are they?"

Just to be sure if his theory was correct, Kaleb tried poking his finger on one of his canines. When he does so, he feels a sharp pain in his finger.

"Ah!"

When he jerks his finger away from his mouth, he notices that his finger is bleeding. To his surprise, he was correct.

"What the..."

"Now the other one!"

Kaleb turned his gaze to Queen Chrysalis.

"What?"

"Now!"

He struggles to break the chain on his left arm. He tried harder, and harder, and harder. Then just like the previous chain, it broke. He was floating in the air trying to figure out what to do.

"Okay, that takes care of the chains. But how do I float down there without killing myself?" He thought.

Kaleb started trying to think of a way to float down safely. He looked at Queen Chrysalis again. He could see that not only she was looking impatient, but the changelings as well.

"Whatever it is, I better think of it fast." He thought.

He closed his eyes to think. Finally, after a minute, he got an idea.

"Maybe I can do it like this." He said to himself.

He raised his arms up a little bit and pointed his feet to the ground. What happens next surprises him. He starts to gently float to the ground. He slowly lands feet first.

"Well, what do you know. Got it on the first try." He thought.

Kaleb then proceeded to tear the cuffs from the chains off his wrists. He drops them on the ground.

"Well done, Kaleb. Well done." Said Queen Chrysalis.

"What?"

She walked towards Kaleb with an evil smirk.

"I will now tell you why you are here." She said.

"Finally." Kaleb said.

"You are here because my changelings and I have a proposition for you." She said.

"And what would that be?" Kaleb asked.

Queen Chrysalis turned her gaze to her left and closed her eyes.

"A long time ago, I tried to take over the Crystal Empire by disguising as its ruler, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza." She said, "She is also the niece of Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria and princess of the sun. She was to be married to Shining Armor, but instead she ended up getting sent to the Canterlot Caves."

"How did that happen?" Kaleb asked.

"I put her there." Said Queen Chrysalis, "While i was disguised as her, I thought I had everypony fooled. Including Shining Armor. But there was one mare who knew I was not the princess. It was Shining Armor's sister. A purple unicorn named Twilight Sparkle. She tried to warn her brother, her friends, and the princess. However, the poor fools did not believe her."

"What happened then?" Kaleb asked.

"I sent her to the Canterlot Caves as well." Said Queen Chrysalis, "However, she and the real princess eventually got out of the caves. I ended up revealing myself and my changelings invaded the land. My plan was going so well. Until it happened."

"What?"

"I was defeated. Ever since then, I have been thinking or a way to exact my revenge. But the plans I kept thinking of did not seem full proof."

Queen Chrysalis opened her eyes and turned her gaze back to Kaleb.

"Until now. I realized that I needed something powerful. Something that would rid me of my enemies for good. I needed... a weapon!" She said.

"A weapon?" Kaleb asked.

"Correct." Queen Chrysalis said, "I searched all over Equestria and could not find anything useful. So I decided to search the universe by using a universe-seeking spell. I eventually came across a planet called Earth. At first, it was nearly impossible to find anything I could make into a powerful weapon. But then I found you."

"So to make a long story short, you had your buddies sneak into my room while I was sleeping and bring me here just so you can turn me into some kind of weapon for revenge?" Kaleb asked.

"Correct again." Queen Chrysalis said, "However that, I gave you a special potion I concocted. It gives you the powers of-"

"Let me guess, super speed? Super strength? The ability to fly?" Kaleb asked/interrupted.

"Correct, correct, and correct. But that's not all there is to it."

"It's not?"

"No. You have one more power. It's a power that gives you the abilities of one of the most dangerous creatures on your planet." Said Queen Chrysalis.

"What creature are you talking about?" Kaleb asked.

There was a long pause. After a few minutes, Queen Chrysalis finally spoke.

"A wolf!"

"A wolf?!" Kaleb asked, surprised.

"Yes." Queen Chrysalis said, "As you may have noticed, you have the claws and teeth of a wolf. You also have the padding of a wolf's paw on the soles of both of your feet. You have the sense of smell of a wolf. You also have the eyes of a wolf. They may not be wolf-like now, but you will eventually see. You even have the tail of a wolf."

"What?!"

Kaleb turns his head and looks down behind him. He realizes that what the changeling queen said was true. There was a brown bushy wolf tail protruding from the back of his pants. He turned to Queen Chrysalis.

"What have you done to me?!" He asked angrily.

"I already told you." She said, "Your training begins tomorrow at the crack of dawn. So you need to get lots of rest. I'll have a couple of my changelings escort you to your room."

Two changelings walked towards Kaleb. One of them motions for him to follow them and does so. They walked down a dark hallway until they stopped at a door on the left side of the hall. The door had bars near the top. Once the door was opened, Kaleb saw what the room looked like. It had an empty cot chained to the left side of the wall and a window hole with bars letting the moonlight in. One of the changelings nudges him to walk in. When he walks in, he surveys the area. When he heard hoofsteps, he turned towards the door. He saw Queen Chrysalis walk between the two changelings and into the room.

"How do you like it?" She asked.

"What do you mean 'How do I like it'? This looks more like a prison cell than a room." Kaleb said, a little bit irritated.

"You're going to have to adjust to that sooner or later." Queen Chrysalis said, "Now rest well my future warrior. You have training tomorrow. Remember that. Ta ta."

Queen Chrysalis turned around. She was about to leave when she stops.

"Oh, one more thing. My subjects also brought you some luggage along the way." She said.

She puts her hoof in her mouth and whistles for one of her changelings. A changeling arrived with a burlap sack. He gives her the sack and she throws it at Kaleb's feet. He knelt down to the sack. He was about to open it when he heard the door being shut and locked. He looked up at the door.

"Terrific." He said, frustratingly.

He opens the sack and pulls out a black leather jacket, a dark green hoodie, long black pants with a hole cut out for the tail, a long sleeved black shirt, a gray headband, and to his surprise, a necklace with a gecko on it. Silver on the outside and turquoise on the inside.

"This is the necklace Mom gave me. What in the world is it doing here?" He wondered.

He heard hoofsteps coming down the hall. He quickly put the necklace and the clothes back in the sack. He walked quickly to the cot and put the sack on the end. He lays down and shuts his eyes. When the hoofsteps started fading, he opened his eyes and looked at the door, then at the ceiling. He slowly fell asleep.
