The fall of Equis IV

As the pod burned into the atmosphere, I got my weapons ready just in case the creatures are hostile. The pod crash-landed in the tower of an old sort of castle in a forest. The castle shattered, leaving nothing but the pod smoking in the rubble. No words were exchanged between me and the marine as we traversed toward the planet before we landed. The pod door was jammed so I had to smash it open with my bolter.

"Do you think the beings of this planet are going to be hostile Thaddeus?"

"Who knows? Why do you think I am getting prepared. You should always be ready for anything and anyone."

"Alright then. We had better get going."

We started off toward the nearest sign of civilization that the scanner had shown. The forest itself seemed to have a creeping evil similar to that of daemons or chaos. We had the constant feeling we were being watched, and possibly hunted for prey. Occasionally we would catch a kind of greenish tint floating through the forest following us. I didn't know whether or

not it was something alive out to kill us, but the marine seemed convinced. I saw that on the map we were nearing the edge of the forest. I was never so excited to get out of any place in my entire life. But then, a large wolf made of wood of some sort pounced on the marine, ripping his left hand off. I quickly shot it off, and yet more and more came. I thought we were doomed, until a faint glow or aura of a kind seemed to surround the wolf. The wolfs disintegrated with no further sound afterward. I wanted to look around for whatever helped me, and to see if they could help the slowly dying and fatally injured marine. I turned around only to be looking at 2 unicorns,and a pony. one blue and white. another black and grey. And the last purple and pink.

Vinyl's P.O.V.

It was really any old day for vinyl. Making music, hanging around with Octavia, and looking for another club job. Not that her usual one was bad, it was just that she needed a little extra money for Tavi's birth-day coming up. It was until she started hearing loud noises coming from the forest that they lived close to come to be known as the Everfree Forest. She woke Octavia from her normal nap to tell her about the noises.

"What is it Vinyl?" she groaned as she woke

"Oh nothing, only that there are some crazy noises coming from the forest that you've been sleeping through!"

"Oh, what do you think they are?"

"I don't know, but they sure don't sound like they want to be friendly to anypony."

"Do you think we should get Twilight or any of the other elements?"

"Yeah, we need to make sure that it isn't anything that can hurt anypony."

"Alright let's go then."

We made our way over to the golden oak library that twilight lived in. It was strange those sounds, and we could still hear them practically in the center of town. It seemed like some other ponies were slightly panicking over the sounds, and twilight was already trying to get them to calm down.

"Everypony please calm down! I assure you everything will be alright!" she barked at the crowd

She was yelling over the crowds of talking ponies, all trying to talk to Twilight at once. Finally she quieted the crowd and waved a hoof at us to come over to her.

"Have you two heard the sounds too?" she asked us.

"Yeah we have. I think we should do something about it, to you know make sure it is safe, and will not hurt anypony." I replied.

"Alright then what are we waiting for. let's go." Twilight ordered us to follow her to the forest.

We headed into the forest at top speed to get there and deal with the problem.

"Come on girls. I think that we are almost to the source of the noises."

Twilight assured. Sure enough a couple few minutes later we saw some light dancing in the woods. There were a lot of timber wolves, and two other strange looking creatures. I quickly used my magic to pick up the timber wolves, and smashed them into pieces. Twilight hastily joined in with her magic and smashed the rest of the timber wolves. It seemed that one of the odd looking creatures were very badly injured, and needed proper medical attention, and quick. The healthy one looked around for a few seconds until it came across us. I sure hope that they are friendly.
