Tides Beginnings

"Long ago, there was a race of unique creatures. They were not strong, fast, or magical. However, they were a very cunning species. They would forge some of the finest jewelry or the sharpest swords. They opened up many trade routes and allowed our world to flourish. But the species had their faults, for they would also use these abilities to harm.
The creatures did indeed make life easier for many creatures, while making it harder for others. Dragons would often fight with the species only to become friends later. Gryphons would pick on them, for their weak build. Only to find the creatures capable of turning the tides with their brains alone. Pony kind discovered new valuable ways of farming, as well as a new ally. Though there were still some struggles between the species.
These creatures, were known as humans. They associated with ponies more than any other species. Some believe it was because we shared similar traits. Others, because were of use to them. If you wish to look at it that way, seeing as you could say the same about ponies. For we used them to protect ourselves, from the other species. It was a very good relationship.

Until a creature came to our world. He brought with him an army of unimaginable size. He sought to conquer our world and everything in it. All creatures came together to fight him with everything they had. We started to win, thanks to the humans creativity. The creature saw this, and became enraged. But no matter how he shifted his armies, or mutated them. The humans would adapt to forge new weapons and armor. Even without magical talent, they were able to create new spells for the unicorns.
When it seem as though we would win. The creature pulled one final trick. He cursed the humans, and sent them to a new world. With his army to weak to continue, he swore he would return. All the species across the world, finally breathed their victory. But it was not a joyful one, for you see an entire species was wiped from our world. They gave everything so that we could continue. It is unknown whether they are still alive or not. All we have to go on is the Demons promise, that it would be a world of suffering and death." The pale grey earth-pony breathed in, after his long lecture. He looked around his classroom for mythology. To see some students leaning forward fully interested in this tale. While others snored away.

When the teacher looked up He spotted Princess Twilight smiling, as she was learning something new. As he started to greet the princess. Everything froze, as if everypony could feel a chill run through their bodies. The skies seem to darken for only a little while. But it was enough, for the princess to vanish.

When Twilight reappeared, She noted both Princess Luna and Celestia were talking with a strange creature. It was slightly bent forward, leaning on a staff. A light ash-grey cloak hiding it's form. But what surprised Twilight the most was the look of anger on Princess Luna's face. While Princess Celestia was trying here best to hold a neutral expression, there was a slight twitch however. Twilight was about to ask who their guest was, only to be stopped by Discords voice. "Surrender, come to the darkside, I will conquer you blah blah blah. You sound just like a generic villain which isn't much fun. I should know I used to be one." Said the draconequus while he appeared mid air waving his claw. "You should already know the answer you'll get. So why no just leave, no need to suck the fun out of the room eh?"

Whoever the figure was simply sent a chilling laugh through the room, as he begin to flicker and faded. Twilight was shocked, when she seen an actual serious look flick across Discords face. But whatever she was about to say, was stopped cold. A possible permanent twitch started to from above her left eye. For as soon as Discord seen her he shouted in a high pitched voice. "Twilly. What brings you to my bathroom?"

However, this information changed when they observed how difficult it was to fight them. The main system discover that the flaws, were a perfect design. It allowed the humans to adapt and grow, where as the computers were only limited. They could only evolve so far, it was noted that new synthetics seem to have a worship of humans. The formation was called Eden, after their masters birthplace. They have come to accept humans as allies and friends. While they had trouble understanding at first.

The Galaxy has been fully mapped, along with new jumps in warp capabilities. It is now called phase jumps, which allow the ships to travel Several hundreds of millions of light years in a few minutes. Other galaxy were explored and discovered. However, it was later finalized when they traveled in one direction for nearly 8 years. The discovery showed there was no more galaxies. Deflated the humans begin to feel that their only companions would be their creation.
There has been no more recorded old worlders. Since the radio silence of 2245.

A science crew discovered the unusual energy source was an actual door way. They were finally able to figure out the type of energy. Call Crimson lace, after mars where it was originally discovered. There are no known reasons for it existence. However, thanks to this discover new energy generators have been built. Processing of metals and resources are now being done on large scales. Mining is becoming less and less frequent.
New genetic research has begun.

Currently several scientist were running around. As the sounds of machinery run in the back ground, along with the pulsing of a new generator that was installed for today's experiment. As several engineers scream at each other, as well as a few laughing at whatever was said.
An older gentleman was standing off to the side, staring at a large object. It appeared almost circular in shape, with a light blue texture. It was slowly spinning as though it was trying to pick up momentum. However, the strangest part was that this ring, simply hovered in place. With nothing holding it there. Than man shifted slight, his silver hair swaying slightly. His eyes a multi-color, of green, honey brown, and black. Stared slightly narrowed at the object. When he spoke his voice was low, but well heard with a slight echo. "How much longer doctor?"
The doctor in question a young looking man, with cropped brown hair looked to his right. His eyes multi-colored as well shined with amusement. "Getting a little impatient are we? Well don't worry, the door way should be open in few minutes. We are just doing some adjustments to the power supply." While he spoke this he took stock of what his superior was wearing. It was nothing more than the standard issue suit, for all military personal. While it was colored an onyx black with no shine to it what so ever. It's shoulder pads were slightly longer then his own shoulders. while it seem to fit just like regular cloths. However anyone could easily mistake it as such. He also noted how the soldier had his helmet stored inside the armor. It truly was marvelous how it was design, creating a unisex form. It's shoes slightly built like those boots from the old movies. But what truly amazed him about this armor, was that it would enhance the soldiers already insane strength. All of it was controlled with a simple thought. The best part was it is not normal plated armor nor was it cloth. It was actually tiny, nanites that could be stored into his body. Though he has heard their is some discomfort, but no pain.

The soldier tilted his head slight with a small smirk. "I've never been patient in my life. But while we are on the subject. Is the drone ready to scout this so called new world?" The scientist, let a small chuckle out.
"Of course, when have we let you down?"

Sententias: are what basic users are considered. While all humans now possess the ability, there are the ones who do not practice the art fully. They only have the basic ability to move objects. While some have shown the ability to enhance their physical traits such as strength, speed, and durability. They are unable to maintain flight.

Gnosis: Most are soldiers who have under gone training, while for civilians it is considered a hobby. The limit of this rank, allows manipulation on an atom level. Some have even joked, that it is reality warping. However, it is well known that this is only one of the many levels to reach the title. People who have study on this level can alter the physical state of objects or create energy type attacks. However, it is highly advised to not use on living creatures.

As the five figures finished watching the hologram displaying the video recording of the creatures. A small gender-less voice echoed. "Well, that's interesting." As five pairs of eyes stop glowing each with a unique color of their own. The next voice belonging to an obivious female spoke up next.
"Why yes it is. But what shall we do next?" The voice came from a Young female. As the Electric Crimson glow finally faded, revealing hazel eyes with the same color ring around them as the glow. Her hair pulled of to the back and left shined with a similar color. She was wearing a Vermilion colored robe, that was lightly decorated with flower patterns.
Another voice which belonged to a male answered her.
"Well, we could set up a base in that wasteland. Special design to camouflage itself so we can get better samples." He was wearing a doctors lab coat, however his glow was azure. Which dimmed to reveal that his iris and pupils where the same color. His hair was a metallic white, which stood out from his multi-colored skin. Parts seemed to be more of a holograph which gave off a greenish tent. While other parts must have been some kind of glass. It was soft to the touch, yet shared a light of red. This marked him as a synthetic. He looked of to his right, towards an older gentleman whose hair was more of a silver. He, had a few lines in his face from the years he had lived. his eyes were a dark brown, with an even darker ring around them. He wore mostly armor, that must have been from a different era. However his rank showed he was well respected as a four star general. When he spoke, it was slightly louder than the others.
His voice gruff as he let his thougths pass. "Perhaps, but there seems to be some fighting. I do not know what those creatures are. But they seem to be angered by... Dragons? However it would be best to have some kind of guard if we do." The final voice belong to a man who seemed to be middle aged. Finally broke the attention.
"I don't know, if we interfer we may thow off their evolutionary chain. We will have to vote on this." He had light blond hair, that seemed to be spiked. However, his eyes were Denim in color. His ring however would confuse most, as it was the same white as his eyes. The gender-less voice spoke again draw attention from the others. When looking at this person it was hard to identify their gender. He/she had several different colors in their hair. The colors were well suited to blend ever so slightly as it went from Melon to Atomic Tangerine. The persons eyes were Platinum with a light pink ring around it.
"Well, the risk may be worth it. This is a new universe after all. While they have no resource we need, they still have information. Plus I wonder if mythological creatures are there. Do they have an immortal creature as well?" This drew a few chuckles from the others. Before the middle aged man finally broke it.
"Very well, raise your hands if you believe it's worth it." All but one raised their hand, as the middle aged man looked around. "Well I guess, that leaves me out. Very well we will begin the process in one week. Notify the need sources. We will have another meeting in one month." All of them finally begin to rise and head towards what appeared to be a wall. That was atleast until they vanished.

Well here is another one. But like I said no promises. Now I wonder if people actually read these.

Just to let you know how fast phase warp 16.7 is, Imagine traveling from the Milky Way Galaxy to Andromeda in 27 days. Now if you don't understand still. Just think this it's super fast.

I know this is short. But I promise if you look around it, you will see some important parts from this that will come up in the future chapters. If I continue writing.

No I will not tell what Mimos can do. However I will tell you those words are Latin, Greek, Czech in that order. No not all of the military tech is listed. However that is just a taste of what they have. To let you understand better. That is declassified knowledge and standard issue. :D

Of prophecies and knowledge.

Twilight was sitting in the royal archives, reading through several books. She was trying to find any information she could on the creature that left a threat. The archives, were only presenting a little help at the time. She was only able to find mentions of the dark ones, humans, and the void. For some odd reason they keep showing up in the same passages or scrolls. It was finally starting to get on her nerves, that all the mythologies were the only evidence attached to this creature. None of this made sense. As she continued to scurry through what ever she could find. But even the myths themselves were limited. As she continued on, she started to blink in time with a knock. It would happen every so often slowly driving her mad. It was so close to a tick clock, yet so far off. After a few more minutes of this brain racking noise she finally had to ask through gritted teeth. "What do you want discord?" Discord just continued to rack his claws against the stone walls. While a small sly grin appeared on his face.
"On nothing much, my little spark. Just wondering why you want the company of these dusty boring old books and scrolls. I could bring them to life, maybe even have them sing their knowledge. Plus I can't help, but notice your blinking eyes every time I do this." With that last statement he speed up his knocks. While twilights blinking speed up with the rhythm. Until she shook her head, blinked rapidly than looked up at discord. He was still the same, expect now he was wearing a conductors out fit. She noticed he had a stick in his left claw swing it a pattern. While his right claw, kept up the rhythm that grated on her nerves.
"Discord, please I'm trying to find out about that creature. It's not easy with most of it being myths. I have to find..." She was interrupted when she heard discord chuckle. But it was not his usual insane cackle. Which begin to worry her, since Discord has really not been acting like himself. She noted as he spoke with a clam cool tone that drew her attention.
"Let me guess. Myths and legends, just like Nightmare Moon?"
Twilight sat there for a few seconds. As the full weight of the statement hit her. She realized that the one in front of her would know. He had been around longer than even the princesses. Until his defeat. When she looked back ready to ask her question she noticed the conductor uniform missing. But in it's place was a chair.
"Discord? Would you tell me what you know about these scrolls? A lot only has limited information and some of it is before recorded history."

Discord, for once shocked twilight. Beyond any doubt. For the first time she has known him he took a moment to clear his throat. Sitting himself comfortable and looking more his age. He no longer looked like the spirit of chaos, but of an old and wised immortal.
"Twilight, the creature you are wanting to know about, goes by many names. They can be described by any name. The dark ones, destroyers, world eaters, hates beginning, masters of war, even false shadows. They are conquers of all that is peaceful. They only care about destroying and taking what does not belong to them. They have spread across many dimensions and universes."
Twilight's head tilted as she listened. But she could not help the question that came.
"There are different dimensions?"
Discord only seem to smile as he nodded. "Yes twilight and alternate universes. The difference is, that dimension is only separated by the choices made. Some dimensions you would have a different color of hair and so forth. But a different universe comes with it's on set of laws. Thousands of universes come and go every second. But it is the new ones that are the most dangerous. You see they are so chaotic that not even I would have control or survive. It bores life and destroys it just as quick. It has no set energy or time. Even the gravity is very unstable in these youngsters."

Twilight actually felt giddy, that she could finally learn something from a creature who may have seen it all. But the part that should be worrying her had already left her thoughts. The fact that discord is actually holding a coherent discussion, long forgotten. She leaned forward, trying to take in this new information. As discord continued.

"But these creatures come from a universe that is dying. For everything may have a beginning but it also must have an end. The Dark ones have decided to not end with their universe. But instead of existing peacefully with others they choose to conquer and enslave. To maintain the power they stole in their universe. They are only as powerful as they are by wiping out all other life forms from their home. We are not the first universe and I doubt we will be the last that they try to conquer." Twilight continued to listen to this, with growing questions and frightful answer. These being were pure evil, by the way they sounded. They cared little for others, and only did what they want. So she decided to ask her questions.
"Why would they do this? Can't the Elements of Harmony stop them? What does this have to do with humans and young universes?" Discord held up a claw hand, to stop Twilight's onslaught of questions. As he smiled, he was going to give her an answer. But he only hoped it did not crush her spirit. Even if this world maybe doomed.
"Easy twilight let me explain. These creatures, know nothing more than how to conquer and destroy. That is what they have learned and built their society upon. For years they developed better weapons, armor, and magic. As for the Elements I'm afraid there are to many of them. The Elements can not stop them all. As for humans, well twilight they actually existed once upon a time." He was interrupted again by a gasp from Twilight. Oh, how many questions she would have. What should she ask first? what were they capable of? Did they really interact with others? But before she could get her questions off. Clawed hand clamed it's self around her muzzle. Discords tiny smile was irritating on it's on. But that's not what stopped her. No it was the long far sad look in his eyes. This only sparked more questions, but she decided to hold them. At least for awhile.
"I'm the spirit of chaos my sweet Twilight. But I have never killed, yes I may have scared or confused creatures. But never once did I allow my antics to go so far as to wipe a species out of existence. It's not in my nature to kill only. How do I say this, ah have fun. You see twilight I could have won our little game at anytime, stopped the princesses from winning. If I had a cold enough heart." This revelation on sent a chill down Twilight's spine. as Discord finally released her and continued to talk.

"You see the humans interacted with many creatures. They would fight, trade, or socialize. Humans were... Unpredictable which is why I liked them. However, they were not creatures of harmony or chaos. They were.. More colorful, or more grey. Depending on how you wish to look at it. But where friendship is the magic of harmony. Humans were the pillars that held the bridge up. They were able to get along with any creature, from Dragons to gryphons. No creature was beyond their understanding. But they got along with you ponies far better. They were extremely intelligent and wise even for their short life spans. They crafted incredible stuff that you ponies even use to this day. Most of your building designs even come from them. In the end Humans were creatures of balance. Balance of good and evil, balance of love and hate. With them, there was always balance.
They were incredible in their own right. However, they were physically weak. But they were able to make up for that with the tools they forged. Humans were able forged some incredible stuff. What you probably do not know Twilight is the crowns and jewelry you princesses wear. Were actually crafted by humans, for the first pony princesses. They were enchanted to last longer. But they were considered the first valuable gift to pony kind."

At this Twilight's mouth literally hit the floor. How could she have not known this? Than there was the part about the three pony tribes. None of this was adding up anymore. So she had to ask, she couldn't sit back any longer. "But what about the tribes, and their fighting? What does this even have to do with young universes? This is not making any sense at all." Discord only shook his head a little.
"Twilight, this happened long before the pony tribes came to be. This sent the world into chaos long before me. Your Princesses were able to get it all back and unite the ponies. But still it is a part of history. Just to old for anyone to remember. So it became myth in time."

Discord sat back as he took a long look out the window. "The reasons I mentioned young universes is simple. It is my theory that's were, Dimoritis sent them. I was unable to bring the humans back. Even you princesses tried and failed. But they really didn't have much faith that they were real... You remember on the map, the badlands right?" At this he looked back at Twilight to see her nod.
"The reason nothing grows or survives there, was because of it's history. That was the last stand of the humans, that is were their kingdom was before they were sent away. It destroyed the magic in the area and destabilized all of nature. The humans have not been found by me or anyone else. So only two possibilities exist. They are either extinct or so far away they will never return. If they were sent to a young universe. They would have suffered a fate so horrible that I nor you princesses could possible imagine. It is possible to understand how severe it is. But in a long shot going to Tartarus would be a vacation in comparison. No creature no matter how powerful would survive. This monster sent them to suffer a slow and painful death Twilight." Twilight's ears drooped at the comment. How bad it must have been, only to end for them so early. She wish now that she had a chance to meet one of these humans. She could have been friends with one and even learn. But now it was all gone, from the same creature that is now threating them.

Discord was finally finished, as got ready to leave. He decided to leave Twilight with a parting gift.
"Well I must be going now. Pinkie and I have a date. Were going to be making sweet cupcakes together in private." At this he made suggestive movements and kissing sounds. Twilight was deep in thought only to have her gears come to a screeching halt as a picture of Pinkie and Discord getting married. Her mouth hanging open as a low hum came from her throat. The only other sound that could be heard was Discords insane cackle and a light pop.

Else were in the castle a young princess of the night was having a fitful sleep. It abruptly came to a halt when her eyes snapped open. However they were glowing a luminescent blue and no pupils. She spoke with multiple voices echoing.
"The sleeping beast, covered in chains has awoken. Through fire hot as time and hammer heavy as death forge the greatness that shall rise. Not as creature, but as lords of all. For this is it's destiny till the end of all. Upon it lies the mark of suffering, but it carries the shield of knowledge and the spear of unity. Be not afraid, for only it's enemies shall see it as a nightmare. Prepare for the true masters return in days of darkness." After this she was back laying on her bed, sound asleep. Not a soul would hear this prophecy.

Author's Note

I did one for the humans I feel it's only far for them. However, this is just like the other part. It has some important detail that will be used later.

On a side note I'm still working on the main chapter. I don't know if I will post it or not when I do finish it. So later.

The steps of discovery?

--------------------------------------Initializing---------------------------

System stabilizing..._

Stabilized, operation at 84.8 percent.

Systems are operating in safe perimeters. Beginning construction of main base, Delta-Quebec-0-6-9..._

Construction will be complete in four days.

A soldier stood to the side, watching the construction bots with a keen eye. Each movement of the bots, had to be carefully checked. Even if the computers are reading ok, it was a hard lesson to learn that they could also be wrong at times. So he continued to pay attention to the slight twitches and movements of the arms. The bot was a simple Silver colored bot. It had one yellow glowing eye and four arms. Two of these arms would change between different tools. While the other arms were busy teleporting the necessary materials. The bot was able to take digitized materials and turn them into physical metals. All the while using fine tools to work them into different designs. The bots could even make computer chips if required of them.
He did find them both interesting and boring. After having to watch them for awhile, it does become tedious. But the incredible sight of these bots wiring and building all of the necessary equip and housing. Was just mind blowing even now. He like all soldiers had to study history. It was apart of survival training, since they need to know how to survive without the science and tools they have now. But for him to see the full power of science. It just went beyond him. Though he would have to admit, he was never very good in the third grade. Especially when it came to Quantum physics.
Even knowing that what use to be taught only to the best of scientist or the select few. Was now nothing more the grade school work, it was still hard to picture how far they have came.

The soldiers was still wearing the nano-armor. He could feel the nanites shift, as he tried to make it a little more comfortable. This area, was unusually hot. The humidity was also low almost matching that of mars. But with a twist similar to venus, well of course before the planets under went terraformation. There were incredible strange pools of glowing liquid that proved to be toxic. Some scientist had taken samples in order to study and neutralize it. But that may take another week or month. The atmosphere also held many toxins which were not picked up on the original scanners. At least in this area. Meaning there was no water, food, or air for normal creatures to survive here.
"Luckily" He smirked to himself. "We are not a normal creature." He did count in his head that it may take a full 6 months at the most. To terraform this area, but he was ok with the wait. It was a new adventure for him. With new discoveries waiting to be found. He also wanted to see these so called dragons... He even entertained the idea of saddling one and riding them. Until he found out they were sentient, well you never know unless you ask right?

"Colonel!" He tilted his head to the right, when the feminine voice came over the radio. It finally registered that it was his X.O. who was monitoring the movement of scientist and engineers. He finally answered with a heavy voice.
"Yes, Karen what do you want?" He could hear some shuffling as a picture appeared in his left corner. The female appeared with a pixie cut brown hair. She wore an artic blue eye shadow, which complemented her pale complexion. She smiled slightly when she was answered.
"Sir, the full reports are in, and you are being requested to building." At this she turned her head a little to the right. "Building 87-November, which is to be the HQ of this operation from now on. The building is finished and fully operation." The colonel gave a small smirk, as his X.O. paid attention to the scar under his eye. In her view the camera showed a military crew cut, it was hard to tell the color. But with a Almond colored skin, his Honey colored eyes were etched with a blue ring. The scar running from the left side of his lip, all the way across his nose. Only to end at the corner of his right eye.
"Thank you Karen. I'll be at the HQ as soon, as I am done with the reports." He watch as she gave a final smile before the link was disconnected. He watched as the day's full report rolled right into his view. He allowed his mind to give the command, to alter the text enough so he could view it. As it started to come into focus. He found himself surprised at what he saw.

_...Full access...

Hello Colonel Derrick Taizeen, all information un-encrypted and ready for viewing.

Unknown liquid...

Substance, contains an unusual mass. It is rated as a non Newtonian fluid and contains special properties. It seems to contain a strange energy anomaly similar, but at the same time different than Crimson lace. The energy seems to affect the higgs field, but not enough to be considered particle level ability. However, it is know to affect the formation of atoms. This energy, has a special pattern that may take time to decode. But it is what is causing the strange effects giving it properties similar to venom. It seems to affect the mind on some level. Leaving the patient in a coma like suspension. If work continues we maybe able to reverse the affects. It is also noted to be a neon green in color. The energy also gives it the glow that has been registered at night. More information will be released as the discovery has progress.

Higgs field influence: 14.7%
Gravity: 2.4%
Mass per Molecule: 1.9%
Energy output: 24.7%
Energy input: 34.7%
Unknown energy: 78.8%

Report ended..._

The colonel was actually surprised. He could not help to feel some sort of excitement. This was going to be an interesting discovery indeed.

Unknown area:

Pebble was not having a good day. No he was not, as he was flying with every ounce of strength his wings could muster. He would on occasion turn or barrel role out of the way of some weird flashing things. He did not understand what was going on, or what these things wanted. They just strolled their way right into his keep and started taken his horde. When he confronted them, they did not even look his way. Feeling insulted he let out a massive roar. Still they did not give him even a look. When he finally had it he unleashed a powerful blast of flames. Yet it did next to nothing to the creatures... No he takes that back. It did do something, it made them mad.
A small one of the creatures stalked forward. It was smaller than all of the others. However something seemed wrong. Even if it was small and weak looking. There was something about it that just sent his primal fear rampant. He did not have a lot of time to think about it as the small one started a low chant. Pebble wanted to laugh, to act brave, to show no fear to these creatures who dare to enter a dragons home. But the fear only became worse when the creatures voice split. Not into two voices. But into millions. It was so loud it started to hurt. It hurt so much that Pebble barely had time to see the glowing bolt that flew past his head. He could feel the incredible power as the side of his home was removed and the force nearly knocked him forward.
The only thing he could think of was run. Never had he seen magic like that in all of his 800 years, not even by the ponies. This was something else, something dangerous. He continued his run trying to find whatever hidden strength he may have. All he wanted was to get away and fast. He would have never thought of making the princesses angry with the stories he has heard. But at this moment, he would have rather taken a dump on Celestia's throne right in front of her. However humors this thought may have been it was stopped short when he felt a severe amount of pain travel up his right side. He only had enough time to see one of the creatures bent over a rock holding a weird smoking stick. It wore a helmet similar to the guards of Equis. But the armor looked like leather of some kind. The colors were actual light in comparison to what he would have thought. They were a light brown mixed with a golden hew.

He took a long look to see his right wing completely ripped off. As he crashed into the foliage and hard. It did not fully register that he was missing a wing as he tried to gain air. It was only after awhile that he finally notice the incredible pain that he was feeling. He let out a primal roar that slow turned into a whimper. He tried his best to stand back up and walk forward. But he felt unbalanced, without his wing it was hard to stabilize himself. He also had trouble seeing through his wet eyes. As well as move through the searing pain. He figured that he had a few minutes since those creatures did not fly. He started to look for a cavern as hope started to feel him. Only to be crushed we he realized he was surrounded by more creatures. These were similar to the one who chanted in his home. Fear and panic started to rise again in his chest. Sending him look ever fervently for a way to escape. Only to feel the paralyzing affects of true fear enter his body when he heard the chant. As he finally looked up the final thought passed through his mind. "Maybe I should have stayed at the palace." As his vision went white.

---Canterlot Palace:

Celestia was staring out the window in her thrown room. There were not to many meeting since her old friend left the other day. She enjoyed what few meetings she could have with old friends. But for today she felt she wanted to do something with her sister. She would have been worried about the threat that being made. But it had already been a little over a month. Nothing had happened since than, however the dragon migration did seem off. Since there was not one. But she knew well enough that you did not enter the dragons lands. Not with out a full grown dragon accompanying you.
As she kept looking out the window. She decided that she would talk her sister into going with her to visit Twilight. That should help both of them, since Twilight seemed to be deep into studying. She had gotten into the humans as much as Lyra had. Though she knew this fad would soon leave her friend soon enough.
Her sister on the other hand. Had seemed rather tired of late, Celestia did not know the full cause of this. Neither did Luna. she had said she was sleeping fine and the night court had not been very busy. Celestia wanted to watch her sister ever so much. But she knew she had to give her room, to show her how much Celestia trusted her. So it was decided. She would take her sister to visit Twilight. She would have both day court and night court rescheduled for the time, they would be gone. She had a small smile form on her face, as she went to find one of her servants.

---HQ----

"Attention!!!" Was heard through out the office. As several monitors could be seen flashing different images. There was several humans and synthetics standing at attention. As the Colonel walked forward to a small table that was at the front of the office. When he finally made it there he took a look around. Before finally calling out.
"As you were. I need my X.O. and the captain here please." At this Karen came walking forward accompanied by a masculine synthetic. He short cut hair, that was color onyx. His eyes glowing a pale silver contrasting with his metallic red skin. A few gold holographs filled in around his stomach and parts of his legs and arms that was not cover in metal. When they finally made it to the front. A hologram appeared on the table with five images.

"Ah it's good to see that everything is closer to completion. I hope it will continue to go well Colonel?" At this Derrick saluted the council. As they continued talking when he went back to attention.
"I have received the report of the liquid. I have to say it is very strange and fascinating. This may have been a good choice after all. We will continue to collect information on the samples, as well as study the strange energies inside and out of the planet." At this both the X.O. and Captain saluted. But Karren had to ask.
"Council, there seems to be some activate in the North western hemisphere. The dragons are being pushed back and slaughtered. They have lost, to what our scientist guess 30% of their territory. Will we interfere?" At this the female councilmen answered.
"No we shall not. We do not know why this struggle is for. With the information the reports have given so far, this may be natural. We will not interfere nor meet with other species. Unless they proof vital information that links them to similar advancement as us or we are forced to get involved. We will not risk destroying them ourselves. So to keep safety measure in place we will not be discovered by the inhabitants." The X.O. Saluted the council one more time. To show she understood her orders. The Captain finally decided to give his final report as well. So he begin in a monotone voice that was genderless.
"So far our scouts have recovered information that may prove useful. No living creature seems to cross the border into these lands. They seem quite afraid of what they may in counter. They will not get with 2.4Km of the border itself. So we should be safe without the cloaking devices for now. Unless we send more probes into their land." At this the elder councilman answered.
"Very well, we shall send probes every week. A minimal of 25 probes at every time. We are also sending you the LTOC Divide. It will be 9 months before it is able to enter the orbit of that planet. That is how long it will take to form a stable portal without using the one on Mars. So expect a full rendezvous. We have some more matters to entertain so that will be all." All three once again saluted before the holograph ended. It was Karren that voiced their thoughts. Though she did it with an child like glee.
"Well this will be an interesting adventure, eh Gandalf?" The Colonel only snorted as he remembered her mentioning and old story with a wizard named Gandalf.

Author's Note

I'm So sorry that it took me so long to post this. Life got the better of me along with trouble. The med's also did not help the stress. PTSD is truly a problem to have especially when people love to aggravate it.

I hope you enjoyed this little add on. I was trying to find an old Latin chant that would be scary enough. But two problems got me. One I couldn't find it and two I don't know how to do it properly. But leave me a comment, and let me know what I can get better on.

Author's Note

So sorry, a whole lot was going on. So I decided to drop this little treat. I hope, this will help show I am trying, and it is not a main chapter. But it will have something to do with the future. Enjoy. :)

Edit: I would like to know what you think of this chapter. I know it's small, but I was thinking of using it for small things that will happen in the background. That will later come up, in future chapters.

So leave a comment.

Twin energies have been connected outside the orbit of the planet. These energies reach to the moon and sun. Data also analyze that the mass points are being used as leverage to turn the planet. The planet seems to be rotating the opposite direction of the other planets. Speed's have been varied between 847.6 mph/1396.3 kph to 1958 mph/ 3151.1 kph. This seems to have a damaging affect on the atmosphere... Comparing data...

Data shutting down...

A young recruit was sitting at the monitor with one eyebrow raised. His brown eyes shining behind his glasses. As he waited for anymore data. As he sat back he released a sigh, that seemed to be a mix of annoyance and worry. As he opened his mouth, allowing a childish voice sound out.

"Oh boy, this isn't good... I hope they don't take this out of my paycheck."
