After a mishap with a certain nuke, Lalna and Rythian are teleported to Equestria.

When Lalna's thumb slips while holding the remote to the nuke under Rythian's castle, the explosion opens a portal. A strange, swirly, rainbow portal. It takes them to Equestria, and leaves them there as ponies. Will they learn the magic of friendship, or strangle each other before they have the chance? Is this just some cruel joke for Princess Luna's entertainment? The world may never know...
Takes place in my Rainbow Dash and Vinyl Scratch universe, but before Feelin' Princessy.

Chapter 1: EZ Fix It

Vinyl Scratch was incredibly bored. Rainbow Dash was having another one of her "moments," and it was never fun to be around one of those. So she was just sitting there, in Rainbow Dash's basement, wishing her house wasn't currently a giant crater because of a fireworks prank gone wrong. But it didn't matter, she was at Dash's house most of the time anyways. It was just a shame she couldn't go upstairs because of Dash. "One of these days..." She thought, "I'll figure out what happened to that mare..." She let out an exaggerated sigh. Her gaze wondered over to a tube of EZ fix.

"I wonder what this tastes like..." She thought out loud, and levitated it over with her magic. After much struggle, she twisted the lid off, and stuck her tongue to the white paste. She immediately spat it out, going into a coughing fit.

"AW, gross! What's even in this stuff?" She didn't find the ingredients list, but she did find a warning label. "Warning: Do not eat; may cause deformities. Shit..." A pair of draconic wings appeared at her sides. "Oh, come on! Now I just look like some fanboy's OC! Well, at least I can easily get out of here now..." Vinyl said, and punched a hole through the cloud wall(don't even ask). She jumped through, attempting to glide down, but ended up falling on her face from a thousand feet up. She got up,(Take that, logic!) dusted herself off, stumbled around a bit, and ended up fine. She used her creepy unicorn magic to incinerate the wings because of their uselessness. She was about to go buy some useless junk she didn't even need, when a random swirly rainbow portal appeared in front of her, spat out a dark looking pony, and disappeared.

"Hey, I thought me and Dash were the only ones able to do that! Did you read my mind and learn all my secrets, or something like that?" Vinyl questioned.

"Er... What? Ugh... Where am I?" He asked. He was a unicorn with a dark gray coat with a brown mane, and a lighter brown streak on his forelock. He also wore a dark, almost purple cape with some creepy purple eyes on the back of it.

"Oooh, you must be from another universe! I've read about this in fanfictions! My name's Vinyl Scratch, and you, my friend, are a pony!"

A what? This pony was confusing Rythian more and more. He was obviously human. Well... part human, at least. This... whatever it was, was trying to tell him that he was a... PONY? His gaze fell upon two hooves where his arms should have been.

"For some reason that look of realization in your eyes makes me laugh." Vinyl laughed, completely oblivious to his panic. "Okay, Rythia, just calm down. Let's see... the last thing I remember is a... I'm going to say a portal, pulled me here after Blackrock exploded. Oh no! Zoey!" He thought to himself, suddenly remembering his apprentice.

"Oh no, I didn't mean to make you cry! I know some ponies are a bit sensitive, but-" Vinyl was cut off by Rythian awkwardly standing up and glaring at her.

"It's not you, you ignorant fool! My best friend could be dead because of by greatest enemy, so a talking horse is the least of my troubles!" Rythian snapped. "Look I'm sorry, it's just..." He began to trail off.

"Oh, I understand. My best friend died too." Vinyl said grimly.

"Seriously?" Rythian asked.

"Yup. Multiple times, actually. Them Creepers, ya know?" Vinyl told him.

"Wait, you have creepers here, too?" His eyes widened at the thought.

"Nope. That was a completely different universe. She's fine now." She explained. "Oh, I don't think I ever got your name."

"Er, Rythian." He told the strange horse, unicorn, whatever it was, he really didn't care anymore.

"Nice to meet ya, Rythian! Come on, I'll take you to my friend's place. I just hope she's done with her moment..."

"What was that?" He asked.

"Um, nothing. Come on!" She said, and her horn began to glow.

"What are you doing?!" He stepped back, but his hove began to glow. It was over in a second, and he was left looking at her in wonder and slight fear.

"Cloud walking spell. My friends a pegasus, and us unicorns can't walk on clouds like them without this spell. Hold still, I just need to teleport us now..." Vinyl explained, and readied her horn again.

"Wait, no!' But in a flash of light, him and Vinyl were in someone's living room, but it appeared to be made of... clouds?

"DASH? ARE YOU SANE AGAIN?" Vinyl called. There was a bit of banging around before a cyan pony appeared. It had wings, which didn't surprise Rythian as much as the fact that its mane was rainbow colored. But then again, Vinyl's mane was blue.

"No! No! I need more Redbull or my wings will disappear! AHHH!" The cyan mare dove into the kitchen, shifting throught the cupboards at unnatural speeds, chanting the word Redbull. This was going to be a long day...

Chapter 2: Livid Coffee

Vinyl Scratch had teleported herself and Rythian out of Rainbow Dash's house once Dash started strangling poor Rythian, demanding Redbull.

"And you call her your friend? She tried to kill me!" Rythian snapped at Vinyl.

"Hey, she's fine most of the time. Plus, she's normally too busy during her moments to notice me stealing all of her money, so I'm okay with it." Vinyl said, showing him a pouch of bits. Rythian simply sighed.

"Whatever. I'm just going to-"

"Hey, Vinyl!" A purple unicorn trotted up to Vinyl, completely oblivious to Rythian.

"Oh, hey Twi, what's up?" Vinyl greeted her with a wave.

"Well, about an hour ago, a huge magical surge went through Ponyville, and I'm trying to figure out what caused it." Twilight explained.

"Oh, that must have been the portal...."

"Portal? What portal? I swear, if I find out you and Rainbow Dash have been messing with those again, I'm gonna-"

"Chillax, Twi, for once me and Dash didn't cause it. It was Rythian." Vinyl told the unicorn, motioning towards the mage.

"Rythian? Who's Ryth- Oh... Um, hello there..." Twilight said, finally noticing him. "Er, my name is Twilight Sparkle." Vinyl took this moment to start day dreaming, because she finds first meetings to be really boring.

"I wonder where he came from... Well, I know my Pfudor powers told me it's Minecraft, but he doesn't seem like he's from vanilla... He must be from a modded Minecraft! Oh, this conversation with myself is really fun! It's like... I already know what I'm going to say to myself... How cool is that? Wait, I'm getting off topic. What was the topic again? Oh, yes, mods! Maybe he's from... Mo' creatures? Nah. Tornado mod? Fun, but I doubt it. Trail Mix mod? In my dreams... Man there's so many mods, I'm never gonna figure this out! Wait a minute, why don't I just ask him? I'm so smart!"

"How did you manage to open a portal of that size, Rythian?" Twilight was saying as Vinyl snapped out of her conversation with herself.

"I didn't open it, it just appeared after... The incident..." Rythian trailed off.

"Incident? What incident?" Twilight urged. Rythian flinched at the thought, remembering Zoeya and Lalna. Lalna... That idiot would pay for this! But for now, Rythian would calm down, and try to fix this mess.

"I'd rather not talk about it." He answered quietly.

"Oh, um, of course. Well, can I help you with anything? Do you have a place to stay?" Twilight asked him, changing the subject.

"Well, n-"

"He sure does! He's staying with me and Dash!" Vinyl spoke up, patting Rythian on the back. He slapped her hoof away, opening his mouth to speak, but Vinyl yet again beat him to it. "Yup, no doubt about it, he's staying with me and Dash!"

"Oh, right. Well if you need anything just let me know!" Twilight said, and awkwardly walked away.

"What the hell? I don't want to stay with you and your insane friend!" Rythian snapped once Twilight was out of earshot.

"Hey, I just did you a favor! Now you don't have to meet any of her creepy friends!" Vinyl said with a laugh, and began ushering him back towards Dash's house. "So, Rythe, where are you from?" Vinyl asked as they walked.

"Don't call me that! And I'm from a place called Minecraftia-"

"I KNEW IT!" Vinyl suddenly yelled, earning some really weird looks from every nearby pony.

"- from the land of Tekkit." He finished.

"Tekkit? Damn, I should have known that!" Vinyl sighed, remembering her fun times with that mod pack.

"Yea... I'm going to pretend I understand what you just said. Anyways-" He was suddenly interrupted by a bright flash of light. "Ugh! Can I just talk for one minute without being interrupted?"

"Nope! Look, it's another portal!" Vinyl exclaimed as the light began to die down, revealing a swirly rainbow portal. "Wow! I'm gonna poke it!" she picked up a hoof, but Rythian held her back.

"Don't do that you fool!" Rythian snapped. As soon as that was said, a figure tumbled out of the portal. Rythian and Vinyl exchanged a look, and Rythe took a hesitant step towards the figure. "Is that..." He began in shock, "Lalna?!?"

Fun fact, Vinyl loves the Trail Mix mod.

Prologue

Magic and Science
Prologue

Once, in the strange land of Minecraftia, There was a server. But not just any server, as this server had something called Tekkit. Tekkit was a mod pack that added many new wonders, such as thousands of new uses for a substance called redstone, magic became quite real, and science advanced so far. But some used this for evil deeds. Two Minecraftians, by the names of Sjin and Lalna, started an all out war using science and magic as weapons. The land was destroyed, and everyone on the server was forced to start anew. Most Minecraftians forgot about the war that destroyed their old home, but there was one who never forgot. This Minecraftian's name was Rythian. He despised science, thinking it only destructive and awful. He sought revenge on Sjin and Lalna for destroying the old world, but never really got it. Lalna, worried about Rythian being a threat, hid a nuke under Rythian's castle, keeping the remote controller on him at all times for self defense. But one fateful day, while holding the remote, his finger slipped, and the button to set off the nuke was pressed.

"Rythian, help! The nuke started beeping, and I don't know what to do!"

"Rythian!"

"Rythian I need you!"

"I miss yo-" BOOM!

Rythian heard the explosion a mile away, and raced as fast as he could back to Blackrock. He pulled his cloak over his head in an attempt to shield himself from the falling debris. When he finally came to Blackrock- or where it used to stand- he fell to his knees. All the was left was a giant crater. He crawled over to the edge, and looked down. Nothing of his castle remained, except for a couple blocks of red wool floating in mid air.

"Oh god, Zoey..." Tears formed in his eyes, remembering how his red-headed friend had been trying to disable the nuke when he left, meaning she was probably in the center of the explosion. He opened his mouth to call her name, but was stopped when a blinding white light appeared in the crater. As the light dimmed, he saw that it was some sort of... rainbow? No, rainbows did not appear like that. The colors all swirled around in a large oval shape. Rythian hardly had any time to think about what it was when it began to pull him in. He writhed around, trying to get free, but it just kept pulling him in. He was soon suspended in mid air over the crater, knowing that if whatever this thing was dropped him, he would fall to his death. He silently cursed to himself for not keeping his flying ring with him. He was soon right in front of the swirly rainbow...whatever it was, when he whispered, "I'm sorry, Zoey. I failed." He gave the forest surrounding the crater a long look, before the light engulfed him.
