First Contact
Magic? How simple minded. Talking Ponies? What a joke. Human inventions on an alien world? Something is not right and we'll find out why.
This fic is cancelled. Do not bother me for an update. I just can't bear to continue it anymore.
For countless years humanity has debated on whether or not they were the only intelligent species in the universe. In the year 2530, the 4 members of Shadow squad are sent to the planet Epona to search for what may be signs of sentience. Complications arise however as the planet's history has come back to seek revenge on Shadow, the very nature and reasoning of whom is harmful to Equestrian society.
Is Shadow the perfect example of human chaos? Or are they a force beyond Epona's comprehension?
The Art is that of Ghost Recon Future soldier. The franchise belongs to Ubisoft.
