SGA meets the ponies

As the Wraith inched closer to Dashes face she started to panic more and more, but she refused to tell the monster what he wanted to know. The Wraith looked down towards the pod and used and incredibly sharp tool that was attached to his finger to tear a hole in the pod that exposed Dashes body.

Dash could feel the cold air of the ship now and realized how warm the pod really was. She thought she had a chance to breakout since her body wasn't restricted, but her hooves were still attached in the pod. This restricted her movement still and she had no choice but to watch what was about to happen.

It felt weird in the first few seconds, like it was just a hand touching her and nothing more. This was because the Wraith wasn't feeding yet, he was merely getting ready.

What happened next was something that Dash would never be able to forget for the rest of her life...which was looking like mere seconds at this point.

The Wraith began to feed and an overwhelming feeling of pain over took Dash as her very life was being sucked out of her. "AHHH!..Nrrgh!...Stop it!" Dash yelled out in pain and at this point she didn't have the energy to struggle anymore.

"Tell me what those things are and this could all be over!" The Wraith demanded as he slowed down his feeding process.

"Nnn...NO!" Dash was barley able to get her response out as the pain increased.

"How many more years do I need to take from you before you'll give me an answer!" The Wraith yelled enjoying himself watching Dash suffer.

Rainbow Dash didn't respond and was in so much pain she was almost in tears.

"Very well then...We're done here." the Wraith said as he sped up his feeding.

Dash struggled to stay conscious and her body began to age rapidly. Within seconds she looked older than Granny Smith. Finally Dashes screams of pain faded and all that could be heard was light breathing...That too subsided.

Dash was now a shriveled up corpse in the pod. With the Wraith finished he looked at his hand which had a small amount of cartoon blood on it.

"Not as filling as a human...but it was. Refreshing," The Wraith said looking towards the other ponies. He then hit a button on the wall which released Dashes body from the pod.

At this point Fluttershy had burst into tears seeing her friend on the floor now dead. Pinkie Pie looked in horror towards what had just happened and Rarity was about to pass out. Applejack on the other hand was watching the Wraith intensely, her cheeks were red with anger. She was ready to tear that Wraiths head off!

"Now." the Wraith began. "Since you all know what the consequences are for disobeying...one more than others..." he said looking back at Dashes body. "I expect full cooperation."

"What's the point in that!" Applejack yelled towards the Wraith. "Why should we tell you anything if yer just fixin to kill us anyways."

"You will see... Now tell me what these things are." The wraith pointed towards a table which had all the elements laid out on it.

Applejack thought about it for a minute, "It can't hurt to give em the name." she thought and looking more towards her friends and seeing what kind of shape they were in, "Maybe it'll at least buy them some more time."

"The elements of harmony..." Applejack answered his question disappointed in herself.

"Elements..." he said slowly to himself, "hmmm, interesting..." he continued, "What is the purpose of these...elements?"

Applejack hesitated as the wraith got closer, "T-they're...NO! I just can't say!"

The Wraith began to enter her mind and forced her to answer as he asked slowly. "Tell...me...what...they...do."

"U-u-uh...T-they're...used for....defense..." Applejack tried as hard as she could not to answer but was forced to and couldn't stop it.

"I see..." the Wraith said now leaning closer. "So they're a weapon."

Applejack was sweating and tried her best not to respond her body betrayed her. "Y-y-e-s."

"Interesting." The Wraith left her mind and started to walk towards Dashes body and leaned down to it.

Applejack was trying to catch her breath and was breathing hard as she watched what the Wraith was doing.

After Rainbow Dash was fed on by the wraith and was considered dead,  all time seemed to have stopped for her. All she could see was darkness, she could tell that she was herself but it was like she couldn't move, her body refused to respond, and all she could do was think. "Am I dead? I can't feel anything...I must be dead...but I can't remember how I died...If I died...Who am I again?...darn it why can't I remember who...I'm Rainbow Dash, yea that's it, my name's Rainbow Dash and uhhh...shoot I can't remember again." Memories started flashing in and out of her mind. She thought of home, her parents, her friends, then...Scootaloo. "Who is that?...She seems so...familiar...Scootaloo!" Dash became overwhelmed with emotion, she wanted to cry thinking she would never see her again but couldn't, to her it was the strangest and worst feeling...

The Wraith put his hand back on Rainbow Dash and began to restore her life. Her body began to age backwards, slow at first but then it sped up and she started to regain color.

Dash took the biggest breath she had ever taken as a huge rush of emotions and feelings came crashing into her. She felt angry, sad, and happy all at the same time while also feeling pain, pleasure, remorse, and had a horrible jumpy feeling, like she drank too many energy drinks and continue to drink them anyways. This was the result of the adrenalin rush she was having.

"ahh..w-w-wha..." Dash could barely form words as she laid trembling uncontrollably on the cold floor of the ship, she couldn't even form a proper thought.

The Wraith stood back up and looking back towards Applejack, "You see what happens when you give me what I want. I give you... a little something in return."

Applejack was happy to have her friend back but sad that they were still captured. The rest of the ponies had calmed down as well.

The Wraith walked over to the two soldiers, "Take them to a holding cell." he then turned around and while looking at all the ponies, "We will continue this at a later time." then walked away.

Three more guards came around the corner and began releasing the ponies. Fluttershy had to be carried as she couldn't move out of pure fear. Rainbow Dash was drug along the floor still trembling and trying to regain her thoughts. The rest walked, knowing they didn't stand a chance at getting away.

Back at Atlantis, Rodney and Sheppard had just finished their story about the other world to Dr. Weir.

"So their ponies and each one is a different color?" Weir asked finding it hard to believe.

"Yep, strange isn't it." Sheppard said with a smile.

"Yes it certainly is. And you believe they could be a good ally to us?" Weir continued to asked.

"Yes...didn't we just go over this?" Sheppard asked kind of annoyed.

"Yes, I'm just finding it all hard to believe." Weir responded leaning back in her chair.

"Oh believe me, being turned into a cartoon was not on my list of things to do." Sheppard said getting a smile from Dr. Weir.

"Ok, I'm going with you on this John. Take what you need and be careful." Weir said as Sheppard and McKay got up and left the room.

Weir continued to sit in her chair and think, "Talking colored ponies...What were the ancients doing?"she couldn't help but to ask herself that question.

Meanwhile Rodney went to grab some extra gear and Sheppard prepared the jumper to go.

"You sure you don't want me to go with you sir?" Major Loren asked as Sheppard loaded some more ammo into the jumper.

"Yea, a small team will be able to pull this off easier than a big attack force." Sheppard informed him.

"You're the boss." Loren replied as he began to walk away, then turned around to ask a question, "Did you really get turned into a cartoon?"

Sheppard stopped what he was doing and looked up. "Would you call me crazy If I said I did?"

"Yes sir." Loren responded

"Then no, I didn't." Sheppard responded continuing to pack more supplies.

Loren laughed understanding that he really did get turned into a cartoon and walked away. Rodney came into the jumper bay as Loren left and walked up to Sheppard.

"Ready?" McKay asked nervously.

"As I'll ever be." Sheppard responded moving towards the pilots seat of the jumper and as he sat down he radioed the control room. "Flight, this is jumper one, are we clear to go?"

A voice came over the radio, "jumper one, you're in the clear. Dial when ready."

"Alright, here we go." Sheppard said as he began to punch in the address through the jumpers DHD.

The stargate activated in the room below them and after the release of energy had been pulled back into the stargate, the ceiling of the departure room opened up letting the jumper in. The jumper flew through the open gate and after mere seconds shot out into the world of cartoon ponies.

Sheppard looked at McKay, "You know, I expected us to be turned into cartoons again, but this is still just weird."

"Yea tell me about it." McKay responded looking over the now cartoon control panel.

They were nearing Ponyville now, "Alright activating cloak." Sheppard said as the jumper immediately became invisible and went in for a landing outside of the small village.

"Hey I'm getting some strange readings here." Rodney said bringing up the display which showed the hive ship in orbit.

"What is it?" Sheppard asked watching the display.

"I'm not sure, I'm picking up a strange signal coming from within the ship." McKay responded

"Ok...you stay here and work on it, I'll go get Ronan and Tayla." Sheppard said getting up and walking out of the jumper.

Sheppard made his way through Ponyville towards Twilights' library. Everything looked better now, the smoke had cleared and the roads were more freed up as well. The ponies who were attacked so aggressively, were now beginning to rebuild their small town.

Sheppard entered the Library and found Ronan and Tayla talking with Twilight.

"Colonel, did you bring the jumper?" Tayla asked.

"Yea, parked it outside of the town." Sheppard informed, "Rodney stayed behind, he said he was picking up some weird readings coming from the hive in orbit."

"Must be the elements." Ronan informed looking towards Twilight who decided to take over the explanation.

"I believe that only my friends were taken, no others ponies are missing around here except for them." Twilight began to inform Sheppard. "We think the Wraith detected them from their ship and were only interested in the elements."

Sheppard started to get a look of concern on his face, "Ok, now I have to ask. Just how powerful are these elements?"

"Well legend has it that they were responsible for creating our home. And so far every enemy we've used them on didn't stand a chance against them." Twilight began as she got an old book from the shelf behind her. "This book has old legends in it if you want to know more."

"Uh no thanks. We need to hurry." Sheppard said starting back for the door.

Twilight stopped him, "Why?"

"We can't let the Wraith have a weapon like that." Sheppard told her.

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. The elements are useless without me and my friends being there to use them." Twilight said as if she had solved his problem.

"This is sounding more and more like the ancients as we go into it." Sheppard said looking at Twilight.

"Who are the ancients?" Twilight asked

"Long story, I'll tell you about them later." Sheppard said then turned his attention to Ronan and Tayla. "Lets go." then started out the door.

"Wait!" Twilight said following them, "Let me go with you."

Sheppard continued to walk down the street which led to the jumper. "Look I don't want to put you in any danger." he said.

"I can look after myself." Twilight said then teleported in front of them causing them to stop.

"Ok, that was cool..." Sheppard said giving Twilight an approving look. "But-"

Sheppard got cut off by Twilight, "I won't take no for an answer. I'm assuming this jumper thing is this way." she said as she turned and starting walking down the road which led to the field outside of Ponyville.

Sheppard let out a sigh and continued down the road with Ronan and Tayla following him. When they reached the jumper Sheppard pulled out a small remote from his vest and dropped the jumpers cloak with it.

"Wow...W-what is this thing?" Twilight asked while putting a hoof on the side of the metal ship.

"It's called a puddle jumper." Sheppard responded now walking to the back and opening the door to the inside of the jumper.

Twilight was amazed at what she saw inside, and was more shocked when she saw the crystal like control panels. "This is amazing! This is far more advanced than what we have here in Equestria."

"We're bringing her with us?" McKay asked

"Yep. And that signal your picking up might be their elements." Sheppard informed while sitting down in the pilots seat.

As Sheppard messed with the control panel the display came up and he reactivated the cloak while closing the door to the jumper.

"Wow, is this magic?" Twilight asked.

"Oh boy..." McKay said at the question. "No, it's just very advanced technology." he continued in an annoyed voice.

"Oh." Twilight said giving a slight smile.

"Ok everyone, buckle up, and please remain seated at all times." Sheppard informed as if he was an airplane pilot then made the jumper take off for the ship in orbit.

Back on the Wraith ship the captive ponies were moved into a holding cell and the bars looked like spider webs crossing each other. The guards had left them and they were now alone.

"Can you believe they just left us. How stupid are they?" Applejack said sarcastically as she walked up to the bars and positioned herself as if she was going to buck an apple tree. "I haven't been buckin apples all my life for nothin."

Applejack gave the hardest buck she'd even given and she assumed that she at least rattled the bars, but what actually happened was she rattled herself from the force of the kick. Her back legs went numb and she immediately dropped to the floor trying figure out what had just happened.

"Uh, guess those bars are stronger than a tree." she said trying to regain her standing position but couldn't so she sat instead.

Fluttershy broke in with her small voice and asked, "We're not getting out of here are we?"

"Now...don't say stuff like that." Applejack said, she could also see Dash out of the corner of her but couldn't tell what she was doing. Upon further examination, Rainbow Dash had went into the corner of the cell and was resting her head on the wall, looking away from her friends.

"Rainbow? You ok." Applejack asked towards her but Dash continued to sit there and didn't respond.

Rainbow Dash was going through a lot at this point. Her emotions had settled down and her system was starting to go back to normal. But now she could remember how the Wraith fed on her and how it felt. She tried to push it out of her mind with happier thoughts, like Scootaloo hugging her leg and smiling up at her. But this only made her want to cry so she preferred not to look at her friends.

Applejack let out a sigh and looked down towards the floor as her hope and determination began to wear thinner with each minute. Even Pinkie Pie could sense the sadness coming from her friends, but all of her party stuff was back at Sugarcube Corner so she continued to stay quiet.
