A collision between two very different worlds. One from a world where war is constant, The other from a world where peace is maintained almost constantly. What awaits these individuals? Only time will tell.

Twilight Sparkle had spent well over 24 hours working on a book that was mysteriously left on the doorstep of the library, after many hours she created a spell using the knowledge from the book to create a gateway between her world and a different dimension.
The Engineer, having realized that the battle they were waging against the machines was quickly turning foul, created a machine to teleport him and his ally's to another, safer place to escape from what would inevitably become a very painful fate.
When these two factors were both utilized, however, both sides will find themselves with alot more than they had bargained for...
Authors note, There will be more sad and serious moments in this story, I would have put the tags as such, but comedy and sad cannot both be used in the tags.

chapter 1, a twist of fate

Fade in to the inside of a darkened library, lit only by a few candles placed around the room, in Ponyville where a certain purple unicorn, Who's mane is frazzled from stress and lack of sleep, has her face hidden inside of a book titled “Application of The Theory of Multi-Dimensional Transportation” and where balled up notes have been scattered around the floor.

“Yes... I think I get it now...” The unicorn in question stated, her horn glowing and casting a small amount of light around the room.

“How could I not see it before?! It's so obvious!” She exclaimed, a large smile now growing on her face as she levitated another pad of paper and a quill to herself and writing down another note.

“Twilight? You're still awake?” Yawned a small purple and green baby dragon as he descended the stairs leading down into the library's main room, “What's up with all of the noise? You'll wake up Celestia in her castle if you shout much louder...”

“Of course I'm still awake, Spike!” Twilight half shouted, still smiling that same large, almost crazy with happiness smile, “how could I sleep after I got this door on my bookstep?”

“You... Mean book on your doorstep, I think it's time you get some sleep... you don't look too good...” Spike warned, already cautious of the unicorn mare in front of him, remembering the last time she looked how she did now.

“Sleep? Why would I need sleep? I'm perfectly fine, spike, and besides! I think I may have figured out how to make the spell described in this book work!” Twilight said, her smile growing an extra inch

“Perfectly fine, huh... Go look in the mirror and say that again, you're a wreck.” Spike countered and crosses his arms

“Fine, if it will get you to leave me alone so I can finish my research, I'll go look in the mirror!” Twilight said with no small amount of annoyance before walking into the bathroom and looking in the mirror “I just dont know what could possibly make you-”

Twilight was cut off mid sentence by her appearance in the mirror, taking note of her bloodshot eyes and messed up mane, even having caught sight of that crazy smile.

“See what I mean?” Spike said from the main room, sweeping the balled up papers into a pile before putting them onto the table, “You need sleep.”

“Oh... my... my mane... my EYES...” Twilight muttered to herself, before frowning as a small crack formed in the center of the mirror, “Spike's right... I need sleep...” Twilight admitted to herself before walking out of the bathroom and up the stairs to her bed room.

“About time she went to sleep... I don't think anyone in Ponyville needs to deal with Twilight Spazzle tonight...” Spike said, making sure to say it quiet enough for Twilight to not hear it as he put the book that had been left on the floor onto the table next to the notes before following her up the stairs to go to sleep himself.

Transition to a large, badly worn out wooden building, at around mid-day wherein stood a bipedal man wearing overalls, red goggles and a construction helmet standing next to something large that was covered by a large cloth, standing next to him was a tall man wearing glasses, an all white outfit with the word “Blu” written on the left arm, just beneath a red cross symbol, standing in front of the both of them were 7 more people, each clad in their own unique outfit

“Thank ya'll kindly for coming to see what me and the Doc have been working on, take it away, Medic.” the Jumpsuit wearing man spoke up with his Texan accent before turning to face the medic and giving him a nod

“Danka, mein hard hatted friend!” The tall man said with a German accent before turning to address the group.

“I do not wish to keep you all waiting, so I will cut to ze chase... The robotic minions of Grey Mann have been growing in difficulty to keep contained every time they come back, and we 9 are all that remains of the resistance...” The medic stated before turning his head to the jumpsuit clad man, signalling it was his turn to speak

“Both Reds and Blu's have suffered large losses from those metal varmints, so the doc and I have been buildin' a way to get us out of this war without having to fight our way through Saxton Hale's “desertion” penalty...” the jumpsuit clad man said before shuddering, having remembered what happened to the last man to try and leave.

“Come on, get to the point hard hat,” the smallest of the group said with no small amount of annoyance, “Did ya call us here just to remind us that every minute we sit here is another minute those robots move that bomb closer to us or are you going to actually say somethin' interesting?”

"Sit your self down mister before ya'll bring about my boot to kick that sorry behind of yours, Scout... I'm getting to the point” The man wearing the overalls returned before turning back to the rest of the group, “What we have designed is a long distance Teleporter, much like my own design, but made so that we can all escape this war, seeing as it's more likely that we would get butchered if we stayed than left.”

“Are you sure zis vill vork, Engineer?” the largest of the group said with a Russian accent, before eying the tarp covering the machine warily...

“We have NO idea...” Both the engineer and the medic replied before pulling the tarp off of the machine, revealing what would appear to be a doorway inside of a giant metal frame with a large coil on each side of said frame and a sign above the doorway that stated "vacant".

“Only one way to find out, no?” Another of the group said with a thick french accent.

“All righty then... Stand back everyone...” The engineer said as he grabbed ahold of a lever on the side of the strange doorway.

Equestria

FIVE MINUTES PRIOR, OUTSIDE OF THE LIBRARY

“Thank you all for coming, I promise I'll make this quick, because I know you're busy, Applejack,”Twilight said, regarding the orange pony

“I can catch up my work on the farm any time, Twi... But all the same, It would be mighty fine if you would speed it up...” Applejack replied with a nod and a tip of her hat

“Of course, I wouldn't want to keep you waiting.” Twilight said before giving her focus back to the other 4 ponies in the group as well, “I have been working constantly in the past 24 hours to get a surprise ready for-” she was unable to finish her tangaent, however, as a pink earth pony in the group suddenly began to make a squealing noise

“OOOOH! A surprise?! Whatisit,becauseilovesurprises,wellexceptforbeestings,becausenobodylovesthose,infactsomeponiesareactuallyallergictobeestings,soiguessidontreallylikeALLsurprisesand-”Her sentence is muffled by a cyan colored pegasus with a rainbow mane clamping down both hooves over her mouth.

“Eeaaasy there, Pinkie, we can talk about... Whatever you were just talking about... Later, let Twilight finish what she's doing...” The pegasus said, giving twilight a look that said “Hurry up already!"

“R-right... As I was saying... I've spent the past 24 hours getting this ready, I've been reading up on a book that presents Theories of Inter-Dimensional Transportation and all of its possible uses, and with it I've managed to perfect, I hope, a spell that will allow for travel between dimensions!” Twilight said with an undeniable note of pride in her voice

“Well, as strange as that sounded Twi, I think we should get this show on the road before Rainbow Dash loses her grip on Pinkie...” Applejack said to the unicorn, watching Rainbow now struggling to keep Pinkie from going ballistic.

“Well, alright then... Stand back everypony...” Twilight said as her horn began to glow

Back with Engie

“Lets get going!” The Engineer said as he pulled down on the lever

A bright light begins to appear in the doorway as well as in front of Twilight as both machine and magic do what they do best...

Before the engineer can celebrate his machine working, however, he begins to hear a sliding sound from his feet, which, when he looks down to investigate, reveals that the sliding sound is him and everyone else in the room being pulled into the doorway

“MONDIEU!” The French accented man from before shouted at the top of his lungs as the pull increased threefold in power, dragging all of them through it and through to the other side...

Chapter 2, Rough starts

Back in equestria

“ I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up...”Twilight thought to herself, Sweating from the strain of the spell and beginning to feel a headache begin to form. “the portal doesnt seem to be stable, maybe I should try tripling my efforts...”

Twilight clenched her teeth as she put everything she could into the spell, before being sent flying backwards as the spell de-stablized and ended with a blindingly bright flash of light, which caused everypony in the area to have to shield their eyes for a moment until it passed, revealing a very dazed group of 9 humans who are all remarkably still standing

“Twi? You ok?” Applejack asked the unicorn, who only responded with a groan.

“You RUFIANS! You hurt our dear friend, Twilight Sparkle! Have you anything to say for yourselves?!”A white unicorn with a purple name shouted at the group

“Ack... das is nicht good...” The tall one wearing the all white uniform said, swaying slightly before locking his focus onto the group of 6 ponies in front of himself, and then noticing the one passed out 30 feet away

“...?” The man with the all white outfit began walking towards the unconscious Twilight Sparkle, only to be intercepted by an orange hoof to the chest that sent him off his feet

“Stay back, ya... whatever ya are, I wont let'cha hurt Twi any more...” Applejack warned, placing her back hooves onto the ground, having just bucked the tall all white wearing man, gaining the attention of the less tall man wearing a hat somewhat similar to Applejacks

“Oi! They attacked the doc! Come on lads, we're not gonna take that lyin down are we?!” the Australian man said to his friends

“No... no we wont...” The one wearing the ear piece said, taking off towards Applejack, only to be intercepted by a rainbow blur that smacked right into his side, taking both him and the blurred pegasus pony responsible a good distance away before the pegasus delivered a swift jab with her front right hoof, knocking the earpiece right off of his head and leaving him too dazed to move

“GETEM BOYOS!” The darker skinned, one eyed man said before launching himself at the pegasus who attacked the ear piece wearing one as the largest of the group began to walk towards the orange pony, while the rest of the group stayed behind, still too dazed to move quite yet

The one eyed man, however, didnt even make it halfway before being met by Pinkie Pie, who tackled him out of the air, laughing like it was all a game, whereas the large man was hit by what would appear to be a very large make up kit directly in the face, followed immediately by Applejack bucking him in the stomach, knocking the giant of a man over

“Come on lads... this is just sad...” the australian man said with no mere amount of dissappointment in his voice. “looks like im going to have to deal with this myself...”

The Australian man, having been watching how they acted from a distance, walked towards the larger group, ducking under another makeup kit, or was it the same one... looked the same, and stepping to the side of the bucking applejack before knocking her front hooves from under her

before any of them could do anything further, however, they were all interrupted by an ear piercingly loud shouting of the word "ENOUGH" from the man wearing all white, holding his ribs in his right hand from where he was bucked.

“good. Now zat I have your attention... I Zink now would be a good time for us to calm down at look at things RATIONALLY.” the german said, holding the spot where he had been bucked with his right hand, "Zis entire situation was caused due to a misunderstanding..." Medic turns to face applejack "now zen... you attacked me because you zought i would harm your friend... however, zat was never my intention... I am a man of medical science, not the kind of person who would attack someone who's already down... even if you are completely new creatures to me, I'm a doctor... so, will you step aside so I can do my job?" he gestures at the unconscious Twilight with his free hand.

"I... suppose ya'll are right... none of ya'll attacked us until I bucked you to the ground... fine... but I'll be watching you..." Applejack relented before stepping aside, keeping her eyes on the medic however.

"zank you... now then..." he walks over to the unconscious Twilight and removes the glove from his right hand and holds it in front of her muzzle. " Her breathing is regular..." He looks carefully at her "no visible injuries, but just to be sure, would one of you shift her onto her other side?" he asked the group of ponies, giving them an arched eyebrow and the same friendly smile,"If im correct, you'll be more comfortable if you yourselves move her rather than myself."

"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie replied before bouncing, quite literally much to the medics fascination, before gently shifting Twilight onto her side. "my names pinkie pie by the way! nice to meet you!" the pink pony said before bouncing away again.

"...Moving on wards." The medic stated before looking at Twilight closely again. "she seems to be free of any major injury... must be shock from ze explosion, does anyone have anyzing that i can use to awaken her? spy? do you still carry those smelling salts I told you to keep on hand?"

"Indeed I do, Doctor." The spy replied before walking over to the medic before pulling a small box out and handing it to him. "here is the emergency kit you supplied... now then, if you will excuse me, i'm going to go clean the dust and wood splinters off of my suit before its ruined..."

"Danke, spy... " *he pulls out the smelling salts from the emergency kit and holds them under Twilight's nose, his smile growing a little bit as she groans and comes to slowly

"Ugh... that... did not go as I planned..." she opens her eyes and notices the medic crouched down in front of her, and is up on her hooves in the blink of an eye, much to the Medics surprise. "oh my GOSH! my spell WORKED, well sort of... nevermind that though, what are you, where are you from and what can you tell me about it?!" Twilight say's enthusiastically, further stunning the Medic.

"well, theres somethin' to be said about her get up an' go, that's for sure..." the engineer commented , taking the moment to look around at his surroundings and take them all in. "...one things definite though... we're NOT at 2Fort anymore... hell, if anyone could prove this was the same UNIVERSE as ours, I'd eat my hard hat..."

"guess that means your machine worked, Engie... I'd congratulate you, but I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE WE ARE and we have NONE of our weapons aside from your wrench, the spies watch collection and the medics Medi-gun... while nothing around here seems to be an immediate threat this situation is still outside of my area of comfort." the man wearing the helmet stated, frowning slightly and walking over to the dazed scout, who had just woken up from the blow to the head.

The one wearing the full jumpsuit and face mask just sits there, silent as ever while the Australian man tries to help the large man to his feet, face red with effort, only succeeding in wearing himself out as the giant man was very slowly regaining his senses himself.

"Um... help?" the Medic turns to face the nearest pony, Applejack as Twilight simply continued her endless barrage of questions about him, his companions and his home world.

"hey, Twi... I think our newly met acquaintance's here could use some time to get over...well... arriving here?" Applejack suggested

"huh?... Oh! Sorry! You're right!" She gives the medic a sheepish smile, "Sorry for pestering you like that... just a little excited about meeting a new species..."

"It's quite alright, I will have my own questions later... but I believe introductions are in order...? I am the medic, team, introduce yourselves," The Medic stated before giving his team the "go ahead" gesture

"yo, whats up? I'm the scout." the one wearing the head gear introduced himself first, holding the spot where rainbow had hit him with his left hand, "I've never met anything faster than me, I'm the guy they send ahead to either capture things, see whats waiting for my team up ahead or to prevent someone from getting away with something of ours."

The largest one among them was the next to introduce himself, holding his bloody nose from where the overly large makeup kit smashed into his face. "I am Heavy Weapons Guy... but most people call me heavy."

The Australian attempts to introduce himself next, but all that comes out is a breathless wheeze, which causes the Scottish man to laugh. "That'd be the Sniper, our master of long ranged combat... and it looks like he's a little out of shape!" The scottsman said with a grin that only made the Sniper give him a glare, immediately followed by a large smirk.

"That... would be The Demoman... he's our master of explosives..."the Sniper stated, causing the demo's grin to grow slightly, only to be broken by his next comment, "and An alcoholic who doesnt know how to put down a bottle to save his skin."

"I'll get you back for that later, laddy..." The Demoman warned before walking away, now irritated, which caused the sniper to chuckle, seeing as he was still too breathless to laugh fully, and drawing a giggle from Pinkie.

The man wearing the war-helmet spoke up next, "I am the soldier, I am a master of combat and survivor of war. Nice to make your acquaintance." The soldier stated before standing just behind the engineer.

"I'm the Engineer, I build things to help out with whatever the situation is, be it a problem such as healing a wound or supplying whatever you have on hand, or even something to teleport you short distances. Me and the doc are the ones who make most of the things our group use in our line of duty." The Texan stated proudly, which shifted the attention over to the Medic in question.

"I am the Medic, and my name pretty much sums up what I do on a daily basis, I treat the sick or the wounded, no matter how serious or minor it is... considering my line of work, that's remarkably often actually..." the medic stated, giving the group a look that say's "cant you be at least SOMEWHAT more careful?"

"I do believe it is my turn to speak... I am the Spy, my job is to get behind enemy lines, disable their defenses and spread paranoia through their ranks... just as long as i don't mess up my suit." The Spy stated, diverting his attention back to cleaning up said suit... only to frown in annoyance after discovering a tear along the suits left arm. "Well. This is a disappointment... where am i going to find a new sui-" He's cut off as a measuring tape is suddenly floating around him, making measurements white the white pony with the purple mane takes notes.

"Having a torn up suit, especially one that was so well made, and having no replacements is nothing short of a CATASTROPHE, worry not, though! Rarity is on the case! I'll get right on making you a new suit as soon as i can!" Rarity proclaimed,putting her notes in the bag she had been carrying with her.

"Much appreciated, Madame Rarity..." The Spy said, giving her a bow at the hip, "I do indeed find it quite frustrating when i have no suit to wear... And for helping me out even though you have no idea who I am,and while I'm in a world I have no idea about, I am in your debt..."

"wait... who's your last friend over there?" Twilight asked, pointing with her hoof at the jumpsuit and mask wearing person who was standing there silently

"mmph, hudduh huh hud-hudduh huh hmph hudduh huh!" It said.

"Um... Sorry? I didnt quite understand that... could you say that again?" Twilight asked.

"Heheheh... Silly Twilight, He said that She's the Pyro, and that He specializes in use of fire, and that the suit she's wearing protects from high temperatures!" Pinkie pie stated, leaving everyone looking rather stunned, and Twilight with a look of confusion on her face.

"Wait... first you said he, then she, then he again then back to she... What Gender is it? no offense, pyro." Twilight stated

"Im not sure myself, actually! Its like the Pyro doesn't even WANT me to know... Weird, huh? reminds me of something else i saw that was weird earlier tod-*Pinkie's cut off by rainbow dash again*

"As long as we're doing introductions, i'm Rainbow dash,the element of loyalty as well as the fastest Pony in all of Equestria. NOPONY can keep up with me." She turns to face the Scout, "and that means NOPONY..."

That gets scouts full attention, causing him to get a large grin on his face, "all right," Scout replied, "I'll have to test that out myself one day..." Scout returned her challenge

"Wait... again... how can you even understand Pyro, Pinkie?" Twilight asked, turning her attention to the medic who was still close by, "can you guys understand Pyro that easily?"

"Actually, no... ze only one we know zat understands ze Pyro... is ze Pyro..." Medic replied, having been staring at Pinkie in shock.

"Moving on... My name is Twilight Sparkle, I'm the most gifted in magic out of the group of us, and the local librarian, I also happen to be rather interested in learning ANYTHING new, as well as the element of magic." Twilight stated, her attention diverted for a moment by the sight of Pinkie carrying on a conversation with Pyro a little bit out of ear shot.

"looks like i'm next, im Applejack, One of Ponyville's strongest apple farmers, and the element of honesty." Applejack said with a slight dip of her hat.

"As introduced earlier, My name is Rarity, the element of generosity and master of the needle and thread." Rarity introduced herself with a slight bow of her head.

"and IM pinkie pie!" Pinkie said rather loudly from directly behind the Engineer, causing him to jump forwards in shock, "I'm the Element of laughter as well as one of ponyvilles bakers!"

Pyro can be heard laughing at the look of terror on The Engineers face.

"I'm uh... fluttershy..." the yellow pegasus with a pink mane said quietly.

"Uh... could you say that again?" The medic asked as politely as he could, "I didnt quite hear you very well..."

"Fluttershy..." she replies, even quieter than last time.

Twilight, after seeing this, walks over to the Medic, leaning her head as close to what she believed to be his ear as possible so as not to embarrass Fluttershy. "Don't worry about her, she's usually like this around anyone new... Just give her some time and she'll warm up to you." she whispers, smiling.

The Medic's worried frown falls into a relieved smile as he thanks Twilight for explaining her friend's shy tendencies. "Danke, Twilight. Now zen... It's time to figure out where ve will be staying for ze night, as it vill not take a medical examination to tell zat most of us are exhausted from everything zat's happened so far." The Medic stated.

"I do believe that we may be able to find shelter in those woods," Spy stated while gesturing at the forest in the distance.

"whoa there, pardner... that's the Everfree, and trust me when I tell ya, that is NOT the place to be staying at, the critters in there will tear ya'll limb from limb..." Applejack replied to the Spy.

"I've got an idea, Girls..." Twilight spoke up, a slight smile now growing on her face, "Applejack, do you think there would be enough room on your farm for The Heavy or Engineer?" twilight asked her friend Applejack, who thought for a moment before replying.

"I s'pose there might be, as long as they dont mind that my Granny Smith might put them to work..." Applejack replied, "and as long as they stay on their best behavior."

"Thank ya kindly," The Engineer replied with a slight tip of his hard hat.

"Da. This could work, just no more kicking me, if you would be so kind..." Heavy also stated before putting his left hand over where he had been bucked.

"Right then, since those two have possible living conditions, I volunteer to take in the Medic, seeing as he's a fellow Intellectual." Twilight stated, drawing a nod of appreciation from the man in question.

"Look's like Pinkie and The Pyro have grown to become good enough friends already..." Engineer observed, watching as Pinkie began showing off her party cannon to the pyro, who tilted his head in what obviously was confusion and staring at the fuse.

"...Anypony gonna warn Pyro not to light that fuse?" Twilight asked, watching them out of the corner of her eyes nervously now.

Her question is answered moments later by the sound of the cannon going off, as well as a large cloud of confetti and various other decorations, immediately followed by Pinkie falling over from laughing too hard at the mess that is now Pyro.

"Asked and answered?" the Engineer asked.

"Aye. Asked and Answered..." The Demoman replied, now staring at the party cannon nervously, fearing what would happen if it was turned on him.

"If its perfectly alright with everyone, I shall take in The Spy, for mutual benefit! He gets a place to stay and I get to learn about his fashion style!" Rarity chimed in, her eyes sparkling at the idea of learning about what fashion styles the Spy had to tell about.

"But of course, I would be happy to tell you anything you would like to know, it is the least i can do if you are willing to let me live in your home," The Spy replied with a slight smile.

"I'll take the Pyro and Demoman!" Pinkie chimed in, having popped up just behind the heavy, who barely kept himself from jumping in surprise, "they seem like they'd be GREAT at a party, and Mrs Cake has been saying that a little extra help would be great around SCC!"

"I hate t'burst your bubble there, lassie, but I'm not much of a baker, I'm more of a mess maker," The Demoman stated, which only caused the pink ponies smile to grow to a level that creep'ed out said demo.

"Oh that's okay, you can learn, and besides we don't need another baker as much as we do someone to keep the place clean and such, but learning how to bake could be a great bonus, dontcha think?" Pinkie proclaimed, her smile growing an extra inch.

"Bloody hell, does that smile have a mind of its own? If it gets any bigger it might pop off her face and fly away!" The Demoman thought, not daring to say that aloud for fear of the pink party pony's smile growing even further, or what she might do after...

"I'll be camping it out here with the soldier if its all the same," The Sniper stated, pulling the backpack off of his back.

"And I need my leg space so... yeah. I'm keeping myself outside where I can run as often as I want." Scout said and looked around again, "Even if I have no idea where it is I'm running..."

"Well then, I guess its settled... We have the living arrangements down, as long as there's no objections from any of you guys that is, " Twilight proclaimed, looking at the group of them.

"I believe I can speak for all of us when I say... That'll work just fine." The Engineer replied.

"Great! Then that's settled at least, and we can continue getting to know each other after everyone's fully adjusted to their surroundings and settled in," Twilight declared

"Hold on a moment, Miss Twilight," The Spy spoke up, "Wont you and your friends leading us through town draw a large amount of attention to you, possibly the wrong kind?"

"You might be right... I hadn't thought of that, the ponies of Ponyville can be rather quick to judge upon appearance..." Twilight replied with a frown, remembering what had happened with Zecora.

"Welp! We wont know until we try, and besides if they're with us, they'll already have won some points with the people of Ponyville!" Pinkie proclaimed as the Demoman looked uneasily at the position she now occupied atop his head.

"Pinkies right, Twi, as long as they're with us they shouldn't have too much to worry about," Applejack stated.

"All right then... lets let them settle in and We'll meet at the library tomorrow, agreed?" Twilight asked the group, drawing various forms of confirmation from them, or at least whats believed to be confirmation on the Pyro's behalf, "Okay then, see everypony tomorrow then, follow me, Medic, I'll show you where you'll be staying..."

"I get ze feeling all of a sudden that we may be in a little over our heads wiz zis..." The medic stated before following Twilight, now being met with a sudden feeling of unease... would the people of this world REALLY accept them, or would they be treated as they were, aliens to their world and potential threats... Those, however, were questions for the future... For now all that was on his mind was getting some sleep.

Chapter three, part one- Medic

Medic followed Twilight into the library, yawning along the way, only to jump as Spike runs up to Twilight, "So how'd the experiment g-" He cut off when he noticed Medic, but he didn't stop smiling, "Are you an alien from another world?"

The Medic blinked a couple of times before wiping his eyes with his gloved left hand and replying, surprised by the newest appearance, "Ja, It vould seem zat I am, as you say, an alien to zis world," Medic lowered his glove from his eye before asking, "And vat, I must ask, Are you?"

"I'm Spike, The dragon, What are you?" Spike asked him in return, his smile still unwavering.

"A dragon? Zis world vill never cease to amaze me vill it?" The medic thought silently before replying, "I am ze Medic, But you can call me Medic for short, And I am a Homo-sapien, Also known as a Human," Medic stated

"Human? That's a weird name for a species," Spike commented, Causing the Medic's to smirk, which he hid feigning another yawn, Only to have said smirk turn into a wince as Twilight scolded the baby dragon loudly.

"SPIKE! It's RUDE to make fun of somepony else just because of how their name sounds, ESPECIALLY guests!" Twilight said to the little dragon before turning to The Medic with an apologetic smile on her face, "I'm SO sorry about that, Spike can be a little quick to speak, often before he thinks about what he's saying," Twilight explained to Medic, A little hastily, The medic noted.

"Ach, It's no problem, Twilight... Opinion and curiosity are perfectly understandable, especially when speaking to a species previously unknown," The Medic replied, "And besides, That's one of the least offensive things I've heard said in my time as a field medic," The medic continued before yawning once more.

"Oh right, I almost forgot... I don't think any pony beds will be big enough for you, Medic, so I'm afraid your options are either A, the couch or B the floor, I can get you some blankets and a pillow though to help you get comfortable whichever your choice may be though," Twilight said to The Medic before she levitated down a pillow and a couple of blankets, which snapped The Medic out of the middle of a yawn.

The Medic, having not seen Rarity Using magic earlier to get the measurements for The Spy's suit and being unaware any of them could USE magic, Said to Twilight in as calm a voice as a man of science can manage while watching magic being used, "I Vill Have to ask you later... How it is zat you DO ZAT..." The Medic stated before taking the blankets and pillow out of the air

"What, Don't they have magic where you come from, Medic?" Twilight asked as Medic worked on regaining his composure, "It's not an uncommon thing here in Equestria, Any Unicorn can use magic, really."

"Ja... Ja, zere are zose in my world zat can use magic, But it is a highly uncommon thing where I come from..." The Medic replied, momentarily thinking about a certain magician that had caused all manner of chaos in his world, before continueing, "Most humans do not even BELIEVE in magic, much less know how to use it..."

"Oh? What about those who do know how to use it? Have you met anypony who could?" Twilight asked, her curiosity having peaked, and her paper and quill now levitating in front of her while she continued taking the notes she started on earlier while The Medic spoke to Spike.

"Ja... I have met one of zem, But I do not wish to speak of him. He caused me and my friends nozing but harm..." The Medic replied with a frown while he laid out the first blanket on the ground, Having determined the couch to be too small for him to use, "Some harm more permanent than ze rest."

Twilight, On hearing this, frowned herself before replying, "I'm sorry to hear that... I hope that the magicians of Equestria can help you forget all of those bad times, I promise that nopony would do anything to hurt you unless given good reason to," Twilight said, helping even out the blanket on the ground with her magic and giving Medic a hopeful smile.

"I... do not zink zat anyzing will ever wash away all of the bad memory's left behind by ze incidents zat magician caused, "The Medic replied, causing Twilights smile to fade slightly before continuing, "But, I cannot let zat make me form an opinion on zose who practice it here." The Medic finished, returning her smile for a moment before flopping down onto the blanket with a sigh.

"Well, I'll just leave you to get your rest, I've got a few things I need to do today." Twilight told Medic, looking out at the mid-day sunshine, "Spike, don't bother Medic unless he wants to talk to you, I'll be back in a couple of hours, I have to go check on the others and get a replacement for the window the CMC busted out while trying to get their "Ultimate frisbee" cutie marks..."

"See ya later, Twilight, I've still gotta finish cleaning up the mess you left upstairs last night..." Spike replied as Twilight went out the door and shut it behind herself, before heading upstairs.

Author's Note

As the top says, this is part ONE, I ended up splitting this chapter into multiple segments, as stated in my blog post, that i would be doing so in order to get my content out somewhat faster.

Also, if anyone knows an artist who would draw a picture for the cover of this story, do let me know... unfortunately I cannot pay for it, as I'm currently more broke then a glass window in the middle of a tornado that hit a gravel road.
