Location: Unknown
Date: Still possibly may 5th
Time: Uh... Screw it, lets just say it's nighttime

... I don't know how long I was out, but what I did know was that I was awake now. I opened my eyes to be met with a blurry, but familiar sight, as well as a flashing red light in my face. As soon as my vision cleared, I realized I was still inside the predator, and that red light was just something telling me that my engines were both offline. That aside, I let out a groan as I shook some of my dizziness away, undoing the safety harness that kept me in my seat, and reaching for the emergency release hatch. After feeling around for it for a while, I let out a mental sigh of relief as I felt a handle among the normally smooth surface of the interior metal walls, grabbing it, and pulling back with a twist.

The jet canopy quickly popped off of the cockpit, the sound of it clanging against the ground nearby audible from where I sat. Now that that was done, I just had to be sure that I wasn't too seriously hurt from the crash before I exited the jet. I twisted and turned, patting myself down as I tried to see if I had any noticeable injuries. Aside from a headache, I actually felt fine. I couldn't really be sure, considering my suit was still covering me, but since I’m still conscious and the like, I must be okay for now. After that was said and done, I took a look around the interior of the jet to assess the damage done after the crash. From what I could see from the inside, aside from a few loose wires and dents, the interior had gone without any visibly major damage. Now for the outside.

I gripped onto the cockpit's sides, lifting myself up and over with a grunt before I managed to stand myself on the grass floor below me. Odd.

The outside of the jet was, obviously, much more damaged than the interior. Dents and scratches all over, a few punctures in the metal layering, and some visible circuitry. Not to mention the jammed tail and smoking engines. Sighing, I shook my head as I looked over the damage. I'd have to deal with that later, but right now, my priority was just figuring out where exactly I was.

I could just venture out and try to get a lay of the land, but then again, I don't want to leave my jet behind so some random person can come and messed with it... So, how do I do this... (idea imminent in 3...2...1...) Wait a minute! Doesn't this thing still have an anti-theft system?

Pulling up my wrist screen, I brought up the jet maintenance systems menu, desperately hoping that the systems for the jet would work. Surprisingly, despite the damage, against all odds, the system was still functioning. Smiling, I activated the security systems, as well as turning on the tracking beacon,so that, case I got lost, I would be able to find my way back to the Predator.

Now, lets just hope I can figure out where the heck I am.

Location: Ponyville, just outside the Everfree Forest.
Fluttershy’s cottage
Time: 11 pm

“Come on Fluttershy! I want to go kick some alien flank! Just let go of the couch already!" said a cyan pegasus, eager to see what Twilight had informed them had crashed into the Everfree. Despite her excitement however, her other pegasus companion still hung onto her large piece of furniture for dear life.

“N-no thank you. W-what if it wants to eat us, o-or rip us open and d-dissect us." She let out a sudden gasp. "Or what if they abduct my animals to study on?!” She exclaimed, adding an 'eep' as he grip on the couch was further increased. Truthfully, were it not for her friends, the timid, butter yellow pegasus would've been afraid of her own shadow, were it not for her friends, let alone an alien.

“But Fluttershy,” groaned Twilight,

“we need you just in case the alien, or whatever it is, isn't friendly, and we can't use the elements of harmony without you.” She explained, surrounding her friend in a purple magical aura before lifting her off of the sofa, though not without some difficulty.
As Fluttershy was gently placed down to the floor, she quickly went into thinking as she though over her friend's explanation.

“...Okay Twilight, but I’m going to put my animals somewhere safe, including Angel. I don't know what I would do without him.” Twilight smiled and gave her friend a nod, leading the rest of the elements with her out of Fluttershy’s cottage, waiting by the edge of the Everfree Forest as they saw Fluttershy move from place to place within her home, likely telling her animals where she was going, when she's be back, and to stay safe, before she then exited her home, closing the door behind her as she made her way to her friends.

Now, with the six all together, each of them carrying their respective elements of harmony in their saddlebags, they made their way into the forest.

{Continuing through the forest….}

After walking for about, I'd say, half an hour, through the forest, I managed to find a small dirt path along the ground. It led in two directions, north and south according to a display in my mask, one seeming to lead deeper into the forest while the other went to a clearing. I took the latter path. For the next few minutes, everything was going smoothly, though I was still pretty confused as to how this forest could be so deep, until, suddenly, I heard this 'clip-clopping' sound. The kind a person would hear from horses as their hooves hit the ground.

Thinking that I was still in New York, and where I had crashed to be the central park, since, often times, some members of the police department would ride horseback through the park, and that could possibly be the NYPD on horseback, I looked around for a place to hide as the sounds became louder and louder, heading in my direction. I managed to find a thick layer of brush nearby, quickly leaping into the plant layering and crouching myself down to keep the visibility of others on me as low as possible. After all, I didn't want to be spotted.

I managed to move the brush to the side so I could see what was coming towards me without giving away my position, the leaves and branches scratching harmlessly against my suit as I waited.

The sound of hooves came closer and closer, until, eventually, the source came into view. What I saw next though, was something I was not prepared for. 6 horses, the lot of them traveling together in what seemed like a group...

Well, maybe not horses.They weren't near as tall enough to actually be considered horses, and I easily could tower over them. I figured that I would just go with 'ponies' instead.

The 6 ponies, as I called them, were nothing like what I had expected. Each of them were a different color, ranging from white to purple, and among them, two of them had wings, another two had horns, and the last two just seemed like normal-as normal as I could call them that is-ponies.

'Wasn't there something like that mentioned in my greek history class?Oh, that's right! The ones with wings are pegasi and the ones with horns are unicorns. At least, that's what I can remember.'

One of the ponies even had a stetson on its head, as well as...

'Oh, what the heck?'

Each pony seemed to have some sort of marks on their flanks, each of them unique, but I just couldn't get a clear view of them. Over 3 million dollars worth of taxpayer money just to build one part of this suit, and they couldn't even afford to have added night vision?

'Wait a minute are they heading towards-... Yeah, yeah they're heading towards my jet. Dang it.'

Letting out a silent sigh in both frustration and confusion, I decided to follow the group, quietly moving out of the brush as they past and climbing into one of the trees above, figuring that, if I was to be stealthy, an acrobatic approach would work better. Now, lets just hope I still remember how to do this.

{Walking through the Everfree...}

“UGH, this forest is just so dreadful at this time of night!" exclaimed the complaining marshmallow white pony known as Rarity, utterly repulsed by the fact that they had to trek through so much dirt and grime just to reach something that quite possibly could no longer be there.

“Come on Rare, t'ain't that bad.” said the southern orange cowmare known as Applejack, giving a friendly nudge to her friend as they went on. As this occurred however, Fluttershy, who was currently cowering behind her friends, though she still kept on, felt an odd feeling overcome her, sending shivers through her spine as she sped up her pace to make her way closer to the girls.

“Um... girls?" She asked. "D-do you have the feeling that we're being watched?"

{Following the 6 ponies….}

Sweet mother of god, these ponies can talk! Now I know I’m not in New York anymore, to say the least. Well, that, or I hit my head harder than I thought I did in that crash. As much as the concept of talking ponies stunned me though, I still had to know why they were heading towards my jet. I had to stay focused.

A few minutes of following the group later, moving from tree to tree, brush to brush, as I followed them out of sight, we eventually made it back to the jet, the ponies all seeming to stare in wonderment as they looked over the Predator jet.

“Twilight, what is that thing? And, more importantly, why is it such a ghastly color!?” The white unicorn asked, cringing at the sight of the jet, though I wasn't sure if it was because of how threatening it looked, or just because of the 'ghastly colors', as she had put it.

“I don't know rarity." Answered the purple pony, who I assumed to be Twilight, as she took a few steps closer to the vehicle and began to lean in for a closer look.
Suddenly, the cyan blue pegasus flew over to the top, her head tilting as he as well gave it a once over.

“Hey, check this out! It has equestrian writing on it! But... I don't get why there is just a huge 'X' in the middle of it, or why its red and black.” She said, rubbing her hoof against her chin (I didn't even know ponies could do that) as she floated steadily in the air.
“ Rainbow, ya'll be careful up thar! We still ain't sure of what this contraption's capable of.”

'Okay, so the cyan one is Rainbow... Well, that makes sense. Even I could have figured that one out.
My attention was brought back to the pony I now knew as rainbow, watching as she rolled her eyes dismissively at her friend and waved her hoof to her.

“Don't worry Applejack, I’m fine! Besides, its gonna take more than something like this to take me…. What the hay is that?” Rainbows attention was, at the moment, directed towards the cockpit of my jet, herself flying in closer and leaning her head inside as she took a look around.

“ Woah! Girls, look at this!” The 5 other ponies quickly gathered around their friend, circling the cockpit of the ship as each one of them began eyeing every button, switch, and light like a kid with the candy in a candy store. The lavender one, Twilight, was staring curiously at the same light I was looking at when I crash landed.
“'Engine Offline'? Huh, I wonder what that could mean?” She asked herself aloud.
“Beats me Twi. This durn thing looks like a bunch'a mumbo-jumbo ta me.” Said the orange pony with a stetson on her head, who I
had overheard to be called 'Applejack'.

Next, I looked towards a pink pony, who, might I add, was barely even staying on the ground half the time she was there. She was talking nonstop as she hopped up and down, mentioning and explaining about throwing me, the 'alien' a party after they found me, when suddenly, she stopped, her eyes going wide as she started to vibrate up and down, like a jackhammer, for a good 3 minutest

“ Wowie zowie girls! I don't know what that was, but it means that one heck of a doozie's coming!” I had no clue what she talking about, nor did I think that I would understand, but what I did know, was that, despite everyone else's caution around the jet, Rainbow went ahead and pushed one of the many buttons on the jet, and when she did...

Well, I can safely say that the security function of the jet works well. An icon was displayed on my wrist screen, showing that it had gone into security warning 1, activating it's alarm as a timer, likely for the alarm, began to count time from ten seconds. The ponies all quickly removed themselves from the jet, backing away as the sound continued to echo through the forest for another 8 seconds. Eventually, the forest was plunged back into silence again, the jet's alarm running out as it set itself to it's security warning 2 settings, but by then, the sound had already invited some unwanted guests.

The sound of growling filled the air as, diagonal to me, opposite of the ponies, a group of 4 animals that, as I could only describe them, seemed to be made of wood came through the brush, their wooden teeth bared as they stared at their targets with narrow, yellow eyes.

All 6 ponies cowered in fear as the animals closed in on them, eyeing them deviously as if it had captured its food. I didn't want to see those beasts, whatever they were , make a meal out of those ponies, so, reaching for my belt, I grabbed a few throwing stars, each of them in the shape of an X, as I took a deep breath, drew back the throwing weapons, and shot them directly at the monsters. Four satisfying 'shinks' came through the air as each of the wooden wolves fell to the ground, lifeless, the throwing stars embedded in their chests and heads. 4 stars, 4 wolves, 4 direct hits.

Thinking to myself that now would be the best time to leave, I turned to make my way out of the brush, when suddenly, I heard something that could actually prove to be... Useful.

{Twilight Sparkle}
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the timber wolves that had just surrounded us, ready to gulp us up and have us for dinner, were now laying sideways and flat against the ground, the yellow glow of their eyes now conpletely gone they laid still. Sticking out of their heads and chests, a red X-like thing was half bedded in each of them. Whoever, or whatever, did this had saved us from becoming those wolves' meals!

“I need to tell the princess about this!" I exclaimed, gesturing for the girls to follow me as I enveloped each of the sharp object that had hit the wolves within my magical grip, lifting them up and out of the bodies of lumbar before bringing them together in a neat group before me. "We need to take these things to canterlot with us!”

“Alright Twi, lets get going!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And as all of the mares left for the Golden Oaks Library to write to their princess about what they had found, and the events that had transpired, they all remained blissfully unaware of the black, shadow-like figure that followed close behind them.
