"Twilight!" called a young dragon, panting while running up three flights of stairs. As expected, Twilight was fast asleep. Spike took hold of her bed and shook it, causing Twilight to fall out of it.

"What is it, Spike? Do you know how late it is?" Twilight scolded her assistant. "What are you even doing up this late, you're a growing dragon, Spike." Twilight asked in a quieter tone. Twilight could see Spike was extremely excited about something.

"Anyway, didn't you want to tell me something?" Twilight inquired, genuinely curious about what Spike was so eager to tell her.

"Oh, yeah, I found something while I was walking around town." Spike reached into his metaphorical pocket and took out a strange orb. "Do you know what it is?" He suddenly gasped in realization. "Do you think Rarity would like it?"

Twilight chuckled in response, before adopting a serious expression. "Well, first off, I don't think you should be walking around town late at night without my permission." Twilight ignored the groan of her assistant, and continued. "Secondly, we don't know what that thing is or where it came from, so I'm going to study it, and you're going to send a letter to Princess Celestia informing her of me studying it. Tomorrow." Twilight put as much emphasis on that word as she could, before flopping down into bed.

P P P P P P

Celestia's sunlight streamed in through the open window, causing Twilight great discomfort, but achieving the desired result of being awake. She could smell the delecious fragrenge of Spike's mastery seeping up the stairs and straight into her nostrils, and the desire to eat breakfast made her fully awake.

She got out of bed and started to walk downstairs before colliding half-way down with her assistant. "Spike, what's the--"

"Hey, Twilight! I made you you're favorite breakfast! When are you going to start studying that thing? I want to give it to Rarity for her birthday next week!"

Twilight just shook her head at her assistant's enthusiasm. "Thanks for making breakfast so early, Spike. And as for the experiment, I just can't do anything on an empty stomach."

"Then you'd better eat, Twilight!" Twilight just rolled her eyes and sat down.

After a refreshing meal of hay bacon and eggs, Twilight led Spike into the basement where she had all her high tech machines. She put the shiny trinket in an X-ray machine and scanned it. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a ball of metal.

But then something happened, as soon as Twilight touched it with her horn. It sparkled with electricity, growing in size and sucking things into it.

"Spike! Run!" Twilight shouted over the noise, desperately trying to contain the warphole she created. Spike didn't need any more encouragement. He ran at speeds that would make Rainbow Dash jealous as he ran to find the other Elements. Although he felt bad about leaving her behind, he was certain she would be able to stop this. He'd send an emergancy letter later.

P P P P P P

Rainbow Dash was running, actually running, through town, desperate to get the new Daring Do book without anypony noticing, when she suddenly bowled into Spike.

"Rainbow! I need to you..." Spike paused to catch his breath.

"Lemme guess. Gather up the girls? On it." And she flew away, without waiting for an answer.

"Vitellary." Viridian said as calmly as she could, which was not very. "I want you to tell me why there is half a purple horse's ass in the teleporter."

P P P P P P

"AHH!!" An ear piercing shriek came from Golden Oaks library.

"Twilight!" Shrieked Rarity, looking at the purple unicorn get swallowed up in the vortex that used to be her home.

"Quick, that thing that took Twilight is still there!" Rainbow said, as she charges into the vortex.

"Curse Rainbow an' her darn stubborness." Muttered Applejack.

"You are hardly one to talk, Applejack." Said Rarity as she dramatically lept in.

"Come on, Fluttershy!" Pinkie giggled as she grabbed a trembling, screaming Fluttershy and lept in.

"Ah'm going to regret this later..." Muttered Applejack as she reluctently stepped in.

P P P P P P

"There are more! There are more pastel horse asses in my teleporter!" Screamed Viridian, desperately trying to keep calm.

"Oh. I-is that bad?" Victoria meekly asked.

"Not by itself, though if the life forms can't fit through, the teleporter will jam, and implode." Vitellary explained.

Unluckily, Vermillion jumped in. "Well, I'll un-jam them."

"NO" shouted everyone else. But it was too late. He grabbed a chromatic tail, and started tugging.

"Vermillion, you moron!" The teleporter started crackling and Viridian's eyes widened. And then the ship started shaking. "Uh-oh."

"Is everything OK?" Asked Violet, from the jukebox room.

"No! We've hit some kind of interference!" Another tremor. "Something's wrong! We're going to crash!"

"Everyone out! Now!" The shaking got more intense. "EVACUATE!"

"Oh no!" Screamed Victoria, breaking her meek façade.

"Everyone off the ship!" Vermillion hollered, making a break for the escape hatch, before getting sucked back in by the suction of the now imploding teleporter.

"This shouldn't be happening!" Vitellary sobbed, yet deep down, he knew it would.

And then everything went white.
