Brass wings and blue skies

12 hour trip to Celestia knows where

Previous Chapter

As vinyl took a step she looked back at tavi her mouth stuck half way threw one of her sentences begging her to get away, leaves stuck floating in mid air….time stopped.  She went to step away but the second she tried to get further away it pulled  her closer the harder she pulled away the harder the floating puddle pulled her back in,  till her hooves slipped and she flew into it disappearing surrounded by white with a black dot seeming miles away.  Trees fly past her at ludicrous speeds as the black dot looks forever distant.

To Tavi, time didn't slow she saw the DJ zips into the floating puddle instantly her brain not able to make up what she'd just seen.  With no clue of what just happened and her emotions not yet devasted by the vanishing DJ into the silver floating puddle she took off to the cafe again to talk to Lyra and Bon Bon, Praying they could help in some way at all.

As the black dot got closer as she entered it everything went dark as she was surrounded in a town burnt down a clock tower chimes 12 over the destroyed city. As she looks looks around she soon realizes she's in a room filled with zapping coils of electricity she'd never seen before.  A creature standing on two legs with a brass helmet and a air tank on the back of the head stares at her threw a rubber and metal looking suit.

He spoke with a  heavy English accent speaking almost like octavia in his words chosen, as he grabbed another object vinyl couldn't recognize he held at arms length .....a luger.

"STEAMDOG WE HAVE OBTAINED A LIVE SPECIMEN!!"

He yells up a old horn looking thing, looking like it belongs on a record player.  What sounds like a record player replies down the horn.

"Ill be down there in a flash i have to see this"

Vinyl backs up scarred of the odd creature standing on two legs and having hands instead of hooves

"what the hay are you!? "

"STEAMDOG HURRY UP THE CREATURE IS SPEAKING ENGLISH!"

A wolf looking creature walks down its eyes glowing like a very old lightbulb as it twists its head moving gears and chains on his beaten brass body as he moves around examining vinyl.  Its mouth doesn't move to form words. An old speaker inside his lower jaw speaks for him.

( Just as a little side note to avoid confusion in a three way conversation S:" stands for steamster (the english dude) SD :" steamdog and V:" means vinyl)

SD:" I do say……madam……would you mind …….telling us what you are where your from and please be compliant"

V :" WHAT THE BUCK ARE YOU!? WHAT THE BUCK IS HE!? WHERE THE BUCK AM I !?"

S:" See Steamdog ……..its a MIRACLE!  FINALLY WE GOT THE RECEIVER TO WORK!"

SD:" Yes Steamster ……… But now the question is where is she from, ....... where did our portal's entrance open "

Vinyl pushes her back to a wall, after a while of talking and yelling she calms herself down talking to them like they were normal living beings.

V:" so im in a world called……earth?……"

SD:" Precisely"

V:" But I was in equestrian like four minutes ago……"

SD:" Precisely"

V:" So………"

SD:" We found a wormhole in the time space between our two dimentions, universes, or worlds and well my dear…….you jumped clean threw to our side……"

V:" And why is the city on fire? What are those loud bangs? Why is Equest……..Earth shaking?

SD :"Well my dear…….we are at a war….the entire world is fighting off the German war machine……And well you managed to have the luck to end up on the last line of defense against England loosing the war."

V:" can you send me back home"

S:" I doubt it…not for a while….all the fuses, chips even most wires are melted to the wall……The only place i can get these capacitors now is on zeppelins…….."

V:" Zeppelin?"

Steamdog points his massive metal paw out the window his gears and chains wine wanting some oil, his paw aims out the window at a zeppelin.

SD:"That my dear...is a zeppelin"

V:" whoa…….how does that…….stay up there……its giant!"

S:" now my dear….its late…..Steamdog..lights off the lights on at night will sure get our house raided…make it look abandoned …get to it boy ill give you the good oil"

Steamdogs mouth drops open in excitement as he runs upstairs beginning to do what steamster told him.

S:" come on dear…….I'll let you sleep upstairs in Steamdogs room…..The mechanical marvel never uses his bed anyways"

Vinyl follows Steamster upstairs threw a dirty house to the point the windows are amber and the air has a gray tint on her way out she looks at the old pristine Victorian record player and says to herself "man……tav would love this…." she pulls herself together and easily falls asleep in the unused bed,  The wormhole must've taken a LOT out of her on the trip she had never been so tired it felt.

SD:" goodnight uhh…..equine "

V:" night night dude by the way im a unicorn or a pony not an equine.....it feels weird being called that........my real name is Vinyl scratch.....you can call me vinyl or viny either or"

SD:"got it.....vinyl.....well goodnight..."
