Chapter 1: A Spell Gone Wrong

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

It was a normal day in the town called Ponyville, where all of the ponies were nice and peaceful, nothing bad happens, well most of the time. And in a big tree, there’s a lavender unicorn and her friends that are talking about stuff, lets see what they’re up too...

“Twilight, are you sure about this,” said Spike.

“Don’t worry Spike, this spell can’t go wrong. This teleportation spell would only take us not far from the library. The worst case scenario would be teleporting into the edge of the Everfree Forest,” said Twilight.

“How are we gonna go with you Twilight? We have no magic, and we can’t just walk where you are or let you walk all the way back here because the Everfree is a dangerous place like pears and parasprites,” said Pinkie Pie.

Most of the ponies didn’t listen of what Pinkie said. “But darling, do you really need all of those books,” said Rarity.

“Yes Rarity, I do need these books. I’ll be reading and studying them on the way back home when I do my spell,” replied Twilight.

“Umm, Twilight is it really important that we have to come along too, if that’s ok with you,” Said Fluttershy.

“Yes, Fluttershy, this spell can teleport me and a bunch of ponies that’s around me, so it’s a perfect thing to test it along with my friends,” Said Twilight.

“Come on Twilight! Just do the spell already! I’m tired of sitting around and doing nothing,” Said Rainbow Dash.

“Fine, but does everypony have things for them so just in case something goes wrong,” Said Twilight.

“Yeah Twilight, I have this cake, this cupcake, this and that and this sweet delicious ch-”

“Alright Pinkie I think that’s enough for now! I suppose everypony has everything they need, right,” said Twilight. Everypony nodded and mostly everything is now set to go.

“Hey Twi, you sure this is safe,” said Applejack.

“Yes it is perfectly safe. Has everypony also eaten before we go,” Said Twilight.

“Yeah, I’ve eaten so much I’ll be energized for the rest of the day, if I had to do any work, that is,” said Rainbow Dash.

“Darling, we’re starting to get a little impatient already. It would be great if you get started already,” Said Rarity.

“Rarity, this is extremely special. It’s also dangerous. There’s like, a lot of ways that can go wrong,” said Twilight.

“Don’t worry sugarcube, is somethin’ goes wrong, we’ll be here to fix it,” Said Applejack.

“Alright, if you say so Applejack,” said Twilight.

Then she started the spell, all of a sudden, wind started to blow very hard and Twilight was focusing very hard on the spell. But then Pinkie’s tail started to twitch.

“Twilight look out for that flowerpot,” yelled Pinkie. Then suddenly a flowerpot hit’s Twilight on the head. Then she her magic goes nuts and in a few seconds all of the ponies (including Spike) suddenly disappeared.

It’s the middle of the night, 11:38 to be exact. Mostly in the middle of nowhere, there’s a small base in which provides the shelter and protection of its residents. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a bright purple light shines in the distance for a few seconds.

“We have seen a suspicious purple light at 11:38 P.M., a mile or two away. Send 3 scouts to investigate immediately!”

“But boss, it’s almost midnight. Most of us are already asleep,” Said a worker.

“I don’t care! This might be important, send them now, immediately,” said the boss.

“Fine, I’ll do it, but they are not gonna like being interrupted in their sleep,” said the worker. Then sooner or later, three sleepy scouts are sent to investigate the area where that mysterious purple light came out.

“Where are we,” said Rainbow Dash.

“I’m not sure, but where did that flowerpot even come from,” questioned Twilight.

“How in tarnation did it become night? It was just mornin’ just minutes ago,” questioned Applejack.

“I’m not sure, but it feels a bit different around here. We’re not even in Ponyville at all,” said Twilight.

“Girls, I don’t want to interrupt, but what’s that over there,” said Fluttershy as she points her hoof to the direction of three small lights in the distance.

“What the hay are those things? How did they find out where we are,” questioned Rainbow.

“It’s not that hard to spot a bright purple light in the middle of the night Rainbow Dash,” replied Twilight.

“Why don’t we just hide and give a surprise? It will be perfect in this time of night!”

“That’s it Pinkie! We’ll hide behind those bushes and hear what they’re saying,” said Twilight.

“But Twilight, we are in someplace that isn't like Ponyville, what if it’s something we don’t understand,” replied Spike.

“Spike, you’re here! I thought the spell didn't take you, but I guess it did after all.”

“Uh, Twilight, what about the question I asked.”

“Oh right, I’ll give myself and everypony else a translation spell. I still have the magic left to make one, and luckily, it’ll last a few days.”

“Alright, that’s great, but it should be a good time to hide now,” said Rainbow Dash.

The things got closer as the time went by. Twilight casts her translation spell and along her friends, they hide in the bushes, like nothing was ever there.

They peeked out of the bushes a little to see what they are. They can’t see a very good glimpse of the creatures, but one of them was holding a very bright flashlight. Obviously, there were three of them, but they looked more like robots rather than ponies. The ponies stayed quiet as they heard their conversation going on.

“This is ridiculous, waking up in the middle of the night and wasting five minutes just to drive two miles to get here! Can’t these machines go any faster?”

“I guess not, but that’s what kind of limits we get from using designs off from a television show, don’t you think?”

The ponies watch as they argue about things that none of the ponies understand every single bit. Twilight gets a bit nervous of the fact that they might get caught, but in this time on night, chances of it happening are slim.

“Two miles in five minutes, that seems quite slow to me,” whispered Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow, those things can go 24 miles per hour when you do the math, which is quite fast when you think about it, well you could fly faster than them though,” replied Twilight quietly, still trying not to get caught.

“Is it time to surprise them yet,” questions Pinkie.

“No, we won’t do anything that will get us caught! We don’t know what those things will do to us,” replied Twilight.

They sat there quietly as the machines find some evidence that the ponies were there, such as hair and a mark on the asphalt where the Mane 6 teleported on. They searched around the area for an hour, which was a tough challenge of being extremely quiet.

Once they left the ponies made a sigh of relief, as they are safe and sound from the creatures they have just saw, for now...
