The Canterlot-Ponyville Rail line, Equestria, Equis, 9:37 PM

As the Mane 6 and Princess Luna sat in the Passenger Car, they began to actually worry for the 'hew-man'. "Um...... do you think it's going to make it Twilight?" said Fluttershy, the most worried of the bunch. "Yes Fluttershy, for the tenth time, yes. During my spare time as a filly studying under Celestia, I would read up in Canterlot medical history, and they have never lost a patient." said Twilight, trying her best to calm down Fluttershy.

While they were sitting and waiting for the train to reach Canterlot, Twilight thought it best to look at what the newest to Equestria brought with it. "Aw sweet! Look at the things it had on its back! They look just like Pegasus wings." said Rainbow Dash, with her face full of shock and awe. "Maybe it can fly!"

"Well it must not have been a very good pilot to crash like that." said Applejack. "You know girls, while I was looking at its face, I noticed that it has a mouth!" said Pinkie Pie, as energetic as ever to finding a different species on Equestria."Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo, that means it must eat! I really hope he loves cupcakes so I can bake a bakers dozen when we get to Canterlot."

"He?!" said the rest of the Mane six. "Yea, he does have the face of a stallion, minus the muzzle and big eyes. And he does have a gruff-and-tuff look to him. And besides him not being a pony, he looks like any other stallion you'd meet." said Pinkie Pie, trying to sound sophisticated. "Well, you can't argue with Pinkie's excessive amount of social knowledge." said Applejack. And with that said, they decided to go through Jed's stuff once more.

20 minutes later

As it started to get later into the night, Twilight thought it would be better if they took watches over Jed's possessions and body. It was Twilight's and Luna's turn when the heard a strange noise. "Who goes there! The Princess of the Night demands it!" Luna demanded. Suddenly, three other humans, dressed in red and black, appeared out of nowhere. "Who are thee! We demand an answer!" said Luna, trying her best to hide her fear for the humans carrying long constructs that appeared for war. "We mean you no harm equine, just hand over the rebel, and no one gets shot, you comprehend?" said the tallest one, in a sleek, and silver-tongued voice. "Or does you small horse brain not understand what my mighty Terran brain can understand?"

"HOW DARE THEE INSULT OUR INTELECT! YOU SHALL NOW FACE THE POWER OF THE PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT!" said Luna, enraged that this 'Terran' just made fun of one of the most powerful beings on Equestria. And as soon as she said that sentence, the three 'Terrans', leveled their long poles to her muzzle. "Make one move, and we plow your primitive brain out!" said a gruffer one. "Now, take us to the rebel nicely, and we might think about not putting you in slavery." said the one that insulted her.

Meanwhile

As the rest of the ponies were sleeping, they heard a voice come from the human's car that sounded as sleek and venom filled as a rattlesnake. "What the hay is going on in there?" asked Applejack, she then heard what sounded like Princess Luna screaming. "Girls, wake up!" said Applejack, trying not to alert whatever was with Luna and Twilight. Rainbow Dash was the first to wake up. "What the buck is it AJ, I was having the best Wonderbolt dream ever." said Rainbow, half awake.

"I don't care about you're dreams Rainbow, I just heard Luna screamin' in the human's car. Lets go check it out." said Applejack. As they were about to walk into the car, Rainbow Dash went and picked up the device Jed used to blow a bit of that (apparently other) human's head off. "Why in the name of Luna's moon, would we need that?" asked Applejack. "Just in case there is any trouble behind that door, you never know." said RD.

While Luna and Twilight are hostages/prisoners

"Fine, thou wins, we will take you to your 'rebel'." said Luna, sorrowful, having to admit defeat to a person that apparently only uses trash talk as weapons. As they were about to take them to Jed, the door burst open to show Rainbow holding Jed's revolver, and Applejack. "What the heck do you think your doing primitive?" asked the apparent leader of the group. "You don't even know how to use it." They then started to laugh at seeing a primitive equine holding a dangerous sidearm. "You know, at first we were just gonna enslave all of you, but now were just going to kill you all and loot the train for the rebel." said the leader.

Finally, Rainbow Dash tried holding the gun the way the soldiers were with her wings . "Thanks, but no thanks, I'd rather keep my right to live." said Rainbow, before pulling the trigger and landing a hit in the leader's neck. "Sergeant down! Pull back!" said the smaller of the bunch. "This is not over, equine." said the gruff one. The now leaderless duo then ran to the end of the train and jumped into a nearby bush and disappeared.

"What did I just do?!" said Rainbow Dash, "I just killed somepony! Oh my bucking Celestia! I just killed somepony!" As she said this, the body of the Sergeant dissolved into a green mist. "What the hay!? That body just dissolved into some sort of green mist!" said Applejack, in a state of awe. But as she said this RD went into a corner and started to curl up into a ball of mixed emotion, mumbling to herself. "Why....... why did I need to kill him, I... I could have just hit his leg." she mumbled.

Twilight, seeing this, rushed over to her friend and tried to put some words of encouragement into her. "There is no reason to act like that Rainbow, if you had not shot him, we might have died." Suddenly, RD realized why she had done it and regained her senses. "Your right Twilight, I'm sorry for acting this way, I've got to keep my 20% cooler attitude or people might think I've gone soft." she said, her ego now back to normal. (well, her normal)"She's back." said Applejack. With that said, the four go back to sleep.

Canterlot, Equestria, Equis, 11:12 PM

When the Mane 6, Luna, and their 'Precious Cargo' arrived at the train station, they were directed to a underground hospital full of doctors and nurses. "This facility was put in place after my banishment to help all the weak and sick in Canterlot at the time," said Princess Luna, "As far as I know, this place is the best medical facility in all of Equestria." As she was saying this, they were guided into a white walled room, with a longer-than-normal bed and other hospital tools. "This is where the patient will be held until he has recovered enough to walk or talk to us." said Luna, pointing to the room.

As they set Jed on a table, a group of doctors came in and started to examine the body. "Why are they not curious about are new visitor?" said Twilight. "While we were on the train, I began to send scrolls to the staff that would be treating him. They seemed confused and worried at first, but then they calmed down." said Luna.

Finally, one of the doctors spoke up," From what we can tell so far, he has lost a lot of blood, and his biological signature I somewhat similar to ours. It's a miracle he is even breathing, I give my uh, how you say, cutos, to whoever treated him." he said. "But there is one thing I can't quite put my hoof on, I have been able to find traces of metal deep within it's body. Like he has experienced wounds far greater than that of today."

"Well, we can ask him about it when we wake up, but how long until he recovers?" asked Luna. "Oh I'd say a few days, considering we already have some of the most qualified unicorns in our staff." said the doctor. "Very well then, girls, I think its time for you to retire to slumber, and for me to watch the night. We have already set up your rooms." said Luna. And with that said, the Mane 6 retired to their designated rooms.

Celestia know how many days later

"Why hello my little ponies, it very nice to see you on this day. I have just heard that our guest is regaining consciousness. How about we go and speak to the newest visitor to Equestria." said Celestia as she walked into the dining hall. "This is going to be great! I used some of the castles supplies to make the perfect bakers dozen of cupcakes!" said Pinkie.

As they walked into the white walled room, they saw the body of the human, hooked to all sorts of medical equipment. "I wonder what he is dreaming about?" asked Fluttershy. "I wonder if its about where he came from."

Jed's Dream Realm, Jed's Dream Realm, Who knows What Time

Jed's dream, it was not what most soldiers would dream about. His dreams would find him on Auraxis, working at where his grandfather worked before the war. The Auger, a mining pit that supplied Auraxis with various minerals. He always told Jed as a young boy, that it was possibly the place on Auraxis to work. He would talk about the times of when he and his co-workers would bungee jump into the pit when the TR officials were not looking. But suddenly, all of his world turned into a white light. He then found himself in a white-walled room.

'No, I can't be dead. I just can't' He thought to himself. He then realized that he wasn't dead, and that he was in a hospital bed. But was most peculiar is that there were seven horse-like creatures staring at him. And as soon as they saw that he was awake, they began to pelt him with questions. Most of them were about his species, but one that stood out to him was one asking if he wanted a 'cupcake'. 'What the heck is a cupcake?' he asked himself.

But what most caught his attention, was the fact that most of the equines were colored pink or purple. And from all his years of fighting, he new one thing. Pink or Purple= Vanu. Before he sprang into action, he realized that the left his NS-44G commissioner next to him. 'These must be some weird Vanu inventions that they engineered.' he thought to himself.

Finally, one of the equines, a purple/lavender one, stepped up to him, about to ask another question. But before she could even speak, Jed grabbed his Commissioner, grabbed the lavender pony, pointed the gun to her head and said, "You do realized you cult-heads just helped on of the most feared Vanu killers on Auraxis, so I suggest that you let me out of here, or I will blow her brains out.

But instead of acting on the sentence, they were in a state of shock and disbelief, but one just said, "So. No cupcake?"
