Chapter one:Stow away

How many of us know how stars dream, the stars are what we see as a limitation, there are those few who would wish to venture further than the stars gleaming light could possibly gleam upon, this is a story of a small crew attempt to find a new colony deep in space, Speed Jump, a Pegasus, a crazy engineer for the space ship, designed it in the early Celestia days, can hack any system between Ponyville and Canterlot, Reece Longstaff, a human with a mind for incite, he finds himself taken from his world and stuck in the middle of this strange new world to find others like him who are also lost, a cat by the name of mourice, a cat burglar known for being able to change his shape in and out of what he likes, a young boy by the name of Arthur Mc Catherine, he arrived in Canterlot the day before the shuttle was due to launch, they thought he was meant to go with them and so they went off into space looking for a new life and a new home, except they didn’t expect there to be any stow-aways.

“you mean there is someone else on board” said the captain, a strong Pegasus from Saddle Arabia by the name of MR.T (Turban, he was called turban head when he was small by others and decided to stick with it), the only thing worse than his accent was his pronunciation of English, he leaned over the side of his chair to listen to Arthur.

“it seems that it is a pony of some sorts, it doesn’t have any gun residue or injury’s, who do you think it could be, maybe they got on by accident,” T looked at Arthur.

“You think someone just accidentally walked onto a huge space ship just without knowing that it was launching today, and the fact it was the only thing in the field for 200 miles,” Arthur face palmed and sighed,” it’s okay kid, i will go see who it is, keep a com channel at all times so that you can hear the both of us,” during the great depression where Celestia’s power dwindled, a new age of technology came about, leaving the age of the wheel to become the automobile to then approach the age of robots, but that time was a long time ago and the all the outer planets had been filled with colonists, the job for this crew was to find new hospitable planets in the outer region of space.

“Hey open up I know you’re in there,” T said as he banged his hoof on the door.

“There is no one here,” the voice behind the door gasped.

“If you do not come out right now I will open fire,” as if he had just had the thoughts ripped from his mind a large figure swooped down at him, as he hit the floor the light in his eyes faded away, the large figure became clear to him, it was a large pony, but i seemed to be the size of an Alicorn, it was a nice shade of lavender, he then realised that he was in a vulnerable position, he shifted his force on top of the large figure, he looked closely at it, it was princess Twilight Sparkle, he looked deeply into her eyes, to then realise that he was still in the position below the princess, this time he went for his gun to feel the same chill, when he finally took aim, he realised that he had no gun in his hand he looked at her and said, “can you please get off, i am pretty sure you have taken all my option from me, so please get off me,” the princess go off him, he stood up and clicked on his communicator.

“This is T, we have a special guest.”

“Who is it captain?”

“Well I will bring them up in a few moments,” he clicked off his communicator, “so princess, what brings you to our ship?” Twilight stood in the hallway observing her surroundings, she took a moment to register him being there, she looked at him with a foul expression on her face.

“What is this vessel and what is its purpose?”

“This is a space ship and it’s job is to find a new planet for human and pony kind alike to live on because our original planet is to overcrowded, ever since the mare and mare act done by Vinyl and Octavia long ago and the use of magically making baby’s, people have been using that kind of magic for crime and an easy way to get someone pregnant without leaving evidence, so you ask what we are doing in space, we are known as world seekers, does that answer your question princess.”

“If you have any sense of respect you would bow to me,” T started laughing at Twilight which sent her further into rage.

“I know who you think you are but you still think to ask someone to bow to them, i don’t have to actually, you may think I am dishonourable towards royalty, but you attacked me, and you have no right to order me around on my ship, you understand Princess?” The princess was now on the edge of snapping, she charged up a bolt from her horn to attack which made T smile, she shot the bolt towards him, he dodged it easily, she fired again and again with no success, she then decided to use a large amount of energy to destroy everything around her, when she was focused she was most vulnerable, T leaped at her hitting on the side of the head knocking her out cold.

“I need someone to help me with this, can someone take her to the infirmary, and block her horn magic, i have a feeling that she might want to escape and kill me.”

“Don’t all the women you meet want to do that?”

“Shut up”
