SGA meets the ponies

"Are you sure you can do that?" Twilight asked skeptically, "I mean you can't just walk right into their ship, can you?" Twilight was now sitting on the edge of her bed.

"Sure, we've done it before...we can do it again." Sheppard told her giving a vote of confidence.

"Ok, what's the plan then?" McKay asked worried about upcoming events.

Sheppard thought for a moment then had an idea. "Okay here's what we'll do. McKay and I will go back to Atlantis, we'll get a puddle jumper and be back here as soon as possible. Ronan, Tayla, stay here and help around the town where you can. When we get back we'll pick you up and head for the hive ship." As Sheppard finished he began to walk towards the door but was stopped by Twilight.

"Wait! I want to go with you!" Twilight demanded.

Sheppard turned around and tried to say lightly, "Look I know they're your friends but, I think it's just best if we handle this. Besides aren't you still hurt?"

"I'll be fine." she said getting up off the bed and standing. She cringed at the pain that followed.

"See you can hardly stand. Just get some rest." as Sheppard finished his statement him and McKay left the library. They walked through the streets of Ponyville which had ponies trying to assist and comfort each other.

"Uh, Sheppard. Can I ask you something?" McKay asked while they were crossing the field back to the Everfree forest.

"What's that Rodney." Sheppard responded.

"Why were you so eager to help these uh, creatures.?" McKay asked.

"Well I wouldn't say eager. But lets just say I have a good feeling that these...ponies, may turn out to be a good ally for us." Sheppard responded. They had reached the forest now and were making their way to the stargate.

"Really? Do you mean for those elements that purple one kept talking about." McKay asked out of curiosity.

"Her name's Twilight McKay, and maybe, we don't know what they have to offer us. And if we save their friends then we'll be on a good standing with them, right?" Sheppard was proving his point.

"I guess so." McKay responded as they reached the gate and McKay began to dial Atlantis, but before he hit the second symbol he stopped and turned around to Sheppard. "Twilight, really?...That was a terrible book and the movie wasn't much better."

Sheppard gave an annoyed look, "Just dial the damn gate Rodney."

McKay turned back around and began to finish the address while Sheppard took one last brief look around the cartoon looking forest.

Just as McKay hit the sixth symbol a low rumbling growl was heard behind them along with the tall grass moving as well.

McKay whispered. "Sheppard."

"I know, I heard it." Sheppard responded while looking in the direction that he thought he heard the growl come from.

The tall grass all around them began to shift and move as the growling continued to pick up...They were surrounded.

"McKay finish-" before Sheppard could finish his sentence. A creature jumped out of the grass and into the small clearing they were in. It had the body of a wolf but was made from wood such as branches and limbs. It was a timber wolf.

"What the hell is that?" McKay asked turning around and hitting the last symbol.

Before anything else could happen Sheppard began to fire on the creature letting his P-90 unload all of its ammo towards it, this caused McKay to duck since it caught him off guard. The creature however just stood there and looked down at the holes that had been made in its wooden body.

"Ok, not good." Sheppard said looking at the creature with a sense of hopelessness and shock.

The Timber wolf pounced at Sheppard but he was able to avoid it and had pushed McKay down to make sure he wouldn't get hit. The creature landed in front of the still inactive gate and Sheppard immediately knew what to do.

Sheppard reached up and slammed the activation button on the DHD causing the stargate to open up sending out the initial release of energy as it always does. The Timber wolf was swallowed up immediately in the discharge causing most of its body to be vaporized.

"That was close." McKay said feeling happy to be alive.

"We're not out of the woods yet." Sheppard responded not trying to mean it in a joking way.

As Sheppard and Rodney stood up multiple Timberwolves came stalking slowly out of the surrounding tree line.

"RUN!!!" Sheppard yelled pushing McKay towards the open stargate and grabbing the remote out of his vest, he began mashing his clearance code into the device with Timberwolves following them.

Back on Atlantis the stargate was active and the shield was ready to keep out any intruders.

"I've got a code coming through...It's Colonel Sheppard." someone said towards Dr. Weir.

"Lower the shield." She ordered.

As the shield left the stargate Sheppard and McKay came running through with McKay tripping and landing on his face.

"RAISE THE SHIELD!" Sheppard yelled towards the control room.

Just as ordered the shield came back up immediately over the event horizon on the gate...There was a slight pause in the room as everyone looked back at the stargate. McKay was picking himself up but was also staring intensely at the portal.

Six or so hits were heard on the shield and after the last hit the stargate shut down causing Sheppard and McKay to let out a sigh of relief.

"What happened? Where's Ronan and Tayla?" Weir asked walking down the stairs from the control room.

"It's a long story." Sheppard said looking at Weir.

"I don't want to do that again." McKay said standing completely up now, and in almost disbelief that he was alive. "Hey we're back to normal!" he continued feeling his chest and looking at his hands. Sheppard also began to look himself over.

"Conference room, now." Weir ordered starting towards the conference room, her mind wandering what all had happened to them.

Back in Ponyville Ronan and Tayla had already assisted a couple ponies, either by moving something heavy for them or assuring them that they were there to help. Twilight was also up and helped where she could. She used her magic to clear large amounts of debris and rubble from some of the roads and had met Ronan and Tayla back at her library.

"I'm sorry that this has happened to your people." Tayla was trying to comfort Twilight.

Twilight gave her a sorrowful look, "We just weren't prepared I guess."

"No one can ever be truly be prepared for a Wraith attack." Tayla responded to her.

"I guess." Twilight wasn't feeling any better about the situation.

"You are alive and well, that should count for something. And it looks like a large amount of your people are still here." Tayla told her trying her best to cheer Twilight up.

Suddenly Twilight realized something after Tayla had mentioned it. It came as a shocking thought that she believed had to be wrong but had to be sure. She got up and left the library immediately leaving Ronan and Tayla behind.

Twilight looked all around Ponyville taking account every pony who was still there. To her surprise every single pony who was there before the attack was still there, injured maybe, but still there except... her friends. With this new knowledge she ran back to the library finding Ronan checking his gun and Tayla looking at some of the books that Twilight had.

"I don't think it's a coincidence that my friends were taken." Twilight said as she tried to make sense of the situation.

"I don't understand." Tayla replied to her

"My friends are the only ponies missing, everypony else is still here." Twilight said levitating a few books over to her and looking for any amount of information that would help her try and understand what this could have meant.

"Was there any difference between your friends and the other people around here." Tayla said trying to help her get an answer.

"No..." Twilight responded scratching her chin with her hoof. " Other than the elements they were wearing."

"That might of been it." Ronan cut in. "They could have detected them from orbit. Which also explains why you weren't taken with them... You said your element must have gotten knocked off you, right?

It all started to make sense now to Twilight. Her friends were wearing the elements so the Wraith took them to get their elements and hers got knocked off of her so they just found it on the ground, grabbed it, and went on.

"But if they came here just for the elements why did they attack our town." Twilight asked confused on this now.

"That's how Wraith are, they don't care who gets hurt. They just want what they came for." Ronan informed her.

With that statement Twilight had a full realization of how evil the really Wraith were.

The Wraith ship that had attacked Equestria was still in orbit around the planet. Strangely the ship was a cartoon like the planet was, and everyone and everything inside it as well. The friends who had been taken were put into holding pods leaving only their heads free while their bodies were restrained. They had tried to escape but it was a lost cause as they just weren't strong enough to break the pods hold. Footsteps could be heard coming down the hallway and what had turned the corner was a Wraith accompanied by two wraith soldiers, it was time for the ponies to be interrogated.

"Let us go!" Rainbow Dash yelled out at the ugly creature.

"Uhh how disgusting, a make over couldn't even come close to fixing what's wrong with you." Rarity said looking towards the wraith.

Pinkie Pie immediately cut off the Wraith as it tried to say something. "Wow you're a really ugly creature. Hey I didn't realize we were going to have visitors today, I tried to give your friends cupcakes but they-" Pinkie was cut off by the Wraith yelling in annoyance.

"ENOUGH!" The Wraith yelled standing in front of Pinkie. "What are you vial creatures?"

"Wouldn't you like to know!" Dash yelled back in response.

"We're ponies!" Pinkie said in a joyful voice.

"Pinkie keep quiet. Don't tell this monster anything!" Dash yelled towards Pinkie.

The Wraith walked down towards Dashes pod and stared her in the face, he then looked at one of the soldiers and it handed him her element of harmony. "You will tell me everything there is to know about this." he said holding it up to her.

"Sorry, never seen that thing before in my life." Dash replied trying to look away from him.

The Wraith let out a hiss, "We found this one on you, do not try and play games with us." he said in a more serious tone.

Rainbow Dash looked him square in the eyes and spit right in his face. The Wraith was extremely angry now getting a rag and cleaning his face off. He then looked back at her with a sly smile.

"Last chance, tell me. what. this. is." he said slowly as he held the element back up to her.

"You won't get anything out of me." she said returning his stare.

"Very well then..." he said in a more interested tone. He then held his hand up so that Dash could see the disgusting opening on it. "I've never fed on a pony before."

Dashes confidence immediately fell to zero, "FED! What does that mean!?" she yelled struggling in her pod still not being able to get free. "What's gonna happen!" Dashes anxiety was building immensely.

"Let's find out, shall we?" The Wraith said as he moved in to feed on his prey... a defenseless Rainbow Dash.
