Chapter 5: New Things (Edit by ItIsASillyLittleGame)

New Day: Part Two

Science knows no country because knowledge belongs to humanity and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence
-Louis Pasteur

Twilight was waking up in her bed as the early morning sun rose Rubbing her eyes, she remembered what happened last night with the wagon that they found. She got up from the bed as fast as possible and trotted over to wake up Spike, still asleep in his basket.

“Spike! Wake up - it's time to get to work on what we found in the Everfree,” she called, as she uses her snout to nudge the sleeping dragon.

“Can we do it later?” Spike moans, without leaving his basket.

“No, Spike, we have to find out about the stuff in the weird wagon and then report on our findings to princess Celestia,” Twilight says.

“Fine, fine, fine. Just let me go use the restroom and make us breakfast,” he says to her. “Hey, is everyone else coming here?” Spike asks Twilight.

“Maybe, Spike, but they may be too busy for today,” Twilight says to Spike, as he gets up from the basket and walks to the restroom.

“Okay, Twilight, but you start., I’ll be down with you in a few,” Spike says as he opens the door to the restroom.

“Ok see you in a few, then,” Twilight says, walking away as Spike closes the door.

Twilight walks down the stairs and passes the living room. She walks down more stairs, walks passed the library area and opens the door to see the trailer and the pickup truck. She picks the trailer first wondering what was in there.

As she walks in after opening the door, she can finally have a good look inside, taking in the full detail this time. As she looks, she sees the sofa with a blanket over it. It was worn out from the many times of use or by the process of time. She looks to the right seeing the back end of the truck and then looks to the right seeing the restroom and the sleeping area. From the look of it, she is guessing this is the oven.

She then decides to go to the sleeping area. As she walks in, she then sees the table and on top of it are papers and more of the weird looking boards with wires on them. Every one of them having its own color, most of them green but some were black, purple, red, and so on.

She has no idea why these wires have different colors, or what they are used for. All she knows is that she has to collect them for research, maybe then she can find out why.

With her magic, she uses it to move all the boards she can see and she puts them in a small pile near the door. With that out of the way, it was the time she kept looking all over the trailer. As she looks down, she sees the weapon that fires the small metal ball that was fired at Rainbow’s flank the other night.

She carries the weird looking weapon in her magic. As she does so, she spins it around, looking at it from all angles and wondering if she can remember any details about it from any of the books she read before.

‘It has a trigger like a griffin or a minotaur crossbow, but why does it have no bow at the end?’ She thinks to herself. As she spins it around a bit more, she looks at the trigger, remembering what happened the last time it got away from her. She pulls the trigger.

Nothing happens. “Hmm,” she hums to herself and wonders why it didn’t do anything. Then after looking a bit more, she saw what was under the trigger. It was a metal rod of some kind - she moved it with her magic and as she did, she only moved it a little. As she did so, she moved it with a little more force with her magic.

The thing acted like a lever of some kind. She pulls on it more with her magic, all the way until a clicking sound comes from it. She wonders what that did. She put the lever back in place and guessing she can do whatever Spike did, she depressed the trigger A ping sound comes from it and it fired a tiny steel ball at the wall.

After finding out how it worked, she decides to analyze this weapon further so she puts it next to the pile of wires and boards. After that, she collected the paper on the table, wondering what was on them.

With that analysis completed, she then uses her magic to open all the doors of the cupboards and all of the drawers, looking in all of them and taking everything out of them, putting them in a pile in front of her so she can sort them out.

As she looked, she saw three weird looking ‘L’ shaped metal sticks with triggers similar to the one from the weird weapon. One looks like it was painted in black and has a few scratches on it showing it was made of metal. The next one was also black but was made with a material had she never seen before. It was light, but it felt hard like steel and iron.The last one was not like the others - it was in an L shape, but it looks like it has a wheel in the middle of it.

After looking at it a bit more, she saw a name that appeared to have been etched into it,’‘Smith & Wesson’, with some cryptic writing that stated ‘model 67-1 da .38 Special cal.’

She was thinking now of what it was she was finding. Is it the name of the person that owns this thing? No, it’s most likely the maker of it, she thinks to herself...

She remembers the other weird ‘L’ shape. She uses her magic to carry them to her face and look at them, when and saw something else -, a name and others. The black metal one had ’Cobra FS380’ etched into it, and the other one had ‘Hi-Point C9’.

‘So, those things have a name of their own on each one. Maybe someone that makes them, or a company?’ she thinks to herself, putting them back into their pile. She continues her search, looking at a round metal black object that was unknown to her. It was a can of beans - she looks all around it to find nothing special until she shakes the thing. She hears something moving inside.

She made a mental note to open it up later, and so put the can next to the papers and such she intended to look at later. What was left was a bunch of pieces of brass and copper and some that were some kind of black metal she was unfamiliar with. She looks at all of them and at the bottom, the things have markings - numbers and lettering. She has no idea what they’re function is, but she keeps them for later.

She then goes to the back, seeing what looks like a big glass of water. It turns out it was the type of container used to put water in at the office and hospital. The three of them appeared to be empty, but one was half full and the other full of water.

She picks up all the cloth she could find. After that, she was about to leave until she stepped on that that tiny steel ball she’d left there, almost falling down. If it would have been the sofa to stop her fall, but the sofa broke when she landed on it.

After she got up, she saw the sofa and noticed that inside it were three metal crates. And a big cotton bag, whose contents she could not make out Using her magic, she took the old sofa apart to get to the crates.

The crates were locked, but thanks to her magic she opened them to find more of the weird looking ‘L’ shaped things and still more of the weapons. All of them were different to each other. Only two appeared to look the same.

‘Why would someone want to hide this?’ she thinks to herself. ‘why leave some of them out, why not hide them all?’she thinks again. She closes the create and carries all the things with her, wondering what is in those other crates.

As she left the trailer with all the things she’d found, she went back inside the library as Spike came walking downstairs. Spike looks at Twilight and asks “Hey, Twilight, what do you want for breakfast?”

Twilight looks up and says “Anything you feel like cooking today, Spike. We have a lot of work ahead of us.”

Spike nods to Twilight and leaves to go to the kitchen to get ready for the day. Twilight opens the door to her basement, which also doubled as her lab. She travels down the stairs, leaving all of the things near the table, as she returns back upstairs to examine that thing that was hooked to the trailer.

As she walked back outside, she looks at the thing, wondering what it was used for. She walked to the back of it to use her magic to open it to see what was inside. There were more crates full of metal objects.

Unknown to her, these were spare parts for the truck. As she looked on, she could see one big metal weird block, and three smaller ones next to it. She took everything she could find around and inside the truck, and took those to her lab. As she did so, she could smell the food being prepared by Spike, and she knows that she had a long day ahead for sure.

Manehattan Hospital

Gilda was sitting on the opposite side to the unicorn that had a blue mane and a red coat. hH say to her “Okay, Gilda, you just need to sign here and here than you can be free to go. Now be careful on that leg. Whoever did that job knows what he was doing and fixed it up very well. With the help of the spell we used on you, you should be able to work just fine but keep it in mind to take it easy for the next few days and come back or go to other hospitals for a checkup here and there. Other than that, you should be good to go.”

Gilda then asks “Can I fly too than?” with a little worry in her voice.

“Don’t worry about it, your wing was only dislocated, you should take it easy or it will become dislocated again,” he says to her. Gilda was glad she can still fly. It was easier to go around to fly than walking.

A few minutes after signing the papers and paying the doctor, she walks out of the front door to see the busy city hard at work. She was hungry now, and saw a griffin food stand selling all kind of food but mostly selling the veggie burgers for the ponies and hamburgers for the griffins.
She walks up to the griffin and pays for a cheeseburger and a milkshake in a cardboard cup. She sits down at a near by table and eats her meal of the day. She then thinks of that being for a bit.

‘Maybe I can go see him? After all, if he did want to be kill he would have left me for the wolfs,’ she reasons, as she takes a bite of her burger. ‘Besides - I kinda owe him one at least’, she admitted to herself. After that, she just kept on eating her meal and she left her mess, but as soon she left some pony was cleaning up for her and doing his job.

As she flew up, she continued thinking. “Who knows? Maybe he can show me his weird looking arquebus or musket,” she says at loud to herself. Seeing the jail, she dives in to see the thing that both saved her and yet tried to end her.
