Chapters Chapter 1: Not another one
Adenn Gra'tua
It was a late afternoon in Equestria, most of the ponies were either returning to their homes for the night or doing other activities that you do at night, unbeknownst to them a ship was about to crash, holding an unwanted visitor that would disturb things around Equestria, that visitor being Adenn Gra'tua.
"Darn it ship! Why do you have to go around all crashy?" The man said while he franticly tried to stop himself from crashing "Shab , why? I just wanted to go for a nice flight!"
He looked out of the ships viewport to check how much time he had, it wasn't much. Adenn slammed a fist against the control console "Piece of osik ." He swore "And I just fixed you!" He lied, his ship just sucked.
He was very close to the ground now, a stupid thought came to his mind at this time though "I gonna need to bail." He quickly got up from his seat after pushing a button to open the ships ramp before rushing towards the back, tripping over some boxes on his way there, where below the ground below was moving fast, very fast "I hope this doesn'hurt to much." Was all that he said before jumping.
Fwoooooosh
The sound of his jet pack turning on was music to Adenn's ears, slowing his fall by a lot and giving him some time to watch as his ship crashed with a loud boom "well, let's hope-"
Thump
--2 minutes later Later--
By the time Adenn Gra'tua woke up it was already turning night, or at least getting so the sun was dipping behind the hills. He didn't bother lifting his head though, as he could see in a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree radius, thanks to his helmet "Uhg, my kriffing head... And everything else."
After a bit The bounty hunter slowly moved his arms into a position to lift himself up, then he slowly pushed down, it took a moment but after that Adenn was kneeling in the small man shaped crater he had made "Well that doesn't seem right." He said while standing up. If anything the crater he made should have been not as deep, and more round.
Shortly after he collected himself he turned to his ship, seeing it was crumpled at the front and partially on fire "Osik that's gonna attract a lot of attention." Adenn was right on that subject, near his smoldering ship there were small quadrupedal beings, multicolored quadrupedal beings "Never in my life..." He quickly realized that they were probably just the planets inhabitants "... Never mind."
Adenn then realized that they might not be to happy about him crashing a ship onto their planet "Time to leave, or at least move." He said as he scanned around him for any place to hide, or at least take shelter. His eyes settled upon a town, he didn't see any more of the multicolored beings there though 'They could be hiding in the buildings though, waiting for a surprise attack! Wait no, that's dumb, they wouldn't do that, would they?' He quickly pushed the thought out of his mind before starting a slow jog towards the town.
--30 Minutes Earlier--
Vendir
"Kark!" Vendir yelled into the sky, again, for the twelfth time since he had gotten stranded thanks to three men who were supposed to bring him to Tatooine. The hills that he was standing on seemed endless, it almost made Vendir return to the forest he'd just came from, but he didn't, the place messed with his head 'At least there are some mountains out there, along with what looks like a structure.'
The man had been walking for quite a bit, his feet were sore, his legs ached, and he definitely wasn't able to think straight thanks to no food and water for almost eight hours. The main thing on his mind though, was finding civilization, which meant food to eat and hopefully some consumable food, and most likely transport off this planet.
"Stupid bright green hills," his pace slowed a bit.
"And dark blue sky, and your occasional cloud!" He shook his fist at the air, making nothing change, much to Vendir's annoyance.
For the next 28 minutes Vendir trekked towards the nearest mountain, which it became clearer to him that there, in fact, was a structure on top of it, or more so, partially hanging. It was nearing night now, the sun making Vendir a silhouette from anyone in front of him, and it also highlighted a town in front of him, he didn't know how close he was to it, but at least it gave him hope for finding water.
"Ah, a town... And... A ship, on fire?" That surprised him, and it did even more when he realized the ship was headed towards him.
"Wait, why is it... Gotta run!" He immediately turned to his right and started to run, making him forget all about food or water. Even after he heard the ship crash he continued running, for he did not know what it held... Or if it was going to blow up again like in the holo-vids.
After another minute or two of running Vendir started slowing down, before stopping completely, then falling on his face.
Whump
Vendir was now laying in a small hole which made him stand up quickly, before inspecting the walls then looking above the hole he was in.
"Who are you?" A muffled voice behind Vendir asked
"Huh?" He responded
"I said 'who are you'"
"Oh, I'm uh, Vendir." He said while turning to face the other man
"Vendir? Good, I'm Kallion... Or at least his fifth clone." He held out his hand for shaking.
"Your with the CIS right?" Vendir shook his hand "cause if you are, then greetings."
From how Kallion looked it didn't seem like he was with the Confedaracy, but Vendir didn't look like that either
"Yeah, just died." He sounded a bit too cheery when he said that, which made Vendir raise an eyebrow, but no one could see it of course
"So, uh how'd you get here?" Vendir asked, quickly trying to push his last thought out of his mind
"As I just said, I died, this is one of the chambers that I , or to be more precise, this clone was put in."
"Why don't you finish your story while we make our way to that town." Vendir pointed towards his original destination, the crashed ship now surrounded by small creatures
"Sure... And may I ask"
Vendir nodded
"Did you crash that ship?"
--Ponyville Library--
"Twilight! I've got a letter from the princess!" Spike shouted as he ran down a set of stairs
"What? Another one? Hand it over." Spike quickly handed it to her, who quickly opened it up and started to read.
"My dearest student, It seems that More humans have arrived, one of them will arrive sooner than you expect, I hope you get this letter before then, for that would be-" Twilight looked up for a moment, puzzled, before looking back down to the letter "What does she mean by 'sooner than I expect'?" She was answered by a loud drawn out smashing noise, followed by a loud explosion.
"Could she have meant that?" Spike asked slowly
"Not another one." Twilight complained.
Author's Note
Thanks for reading the story, also I'd like it if you would leave some feedback, it helps.
Don't expect this to be updated often, it takes me a bit to write.
Adenn Gra'tua
Adenn Gra'tua had been evading the multicolored quadruped's for a few minutes by sticking to the shadows and being very quiet, which was very hard for the man since his armor clanked almost every time he moved, and it didn't help that he wanted to be 'like a ninja' by diving behind everything he found. It was actually amazing he had kept hidden for this long.
"Oh shab, another one." This time, instead of diving behind a bush or something similar he just kept in the alley that he was in, which probably wouldn't have worked if the thing was actually walking like on a normal day, instead multi-colored being looked as if it was rushing to the wreckage of Adenn's ship "Kriffing things, can't keep their hands off of my ship." He shook a hand at the air before crouching down, he didn't know why, he just felt cooler like that, shortly after he attempted to stand up "And now my leg is numb..." He put a hand against the wall next to him before attempting to stand up again, only to kneel back down "Never mind, just gonna sit for a minute," Adenn slowly put himself in a sitting position "Shab , gonna have to move soon, I ain't got time to sit..." He grunted as he stood back up, thankfully he had made it so no one on the outside could hear what he was saying, so he could run around screaming bloody murder without anyone hearing a thing.
As he continued sneaking around he eventually head someone speaking 'Yay, another human!' He thought while quickly running towards the voice, only to find two more of those things there "oh, shab ." He skidded before running back to the alley, luckily they hadn't seen him. He had waited a moment before very slowly leaning out, first the top of his helmet peeking out, before his emotionless T-slit visor was shown "Osik , it has wings and a horn..." This was a surprise to him, as Adenn didn't know anything that looked like this, let alone had the same colors. It took him a moment to listen in on it's conversation, after a moment he could hear "-Rainbow, I need you to get all the ponies away from that thing, something dangerous could be inside..." It took Adenn a moment before he realized that they were speaking basic, or at least something similar, he also noted that the one that had hair and a tail like a rainbow, was probably called 'Rainbow'.
After a moment it flew off, leaving the purple one near Adenn "Wait, could that dangerous thing be me?" He thought aloud, and almost as if he had been speaking normally, he quickly realized that the purple thing had been staring at him, to which he slowly slid back behind the alley, before running at full speed away from the thing, it had yelled something but Adenn didn't hear. After running for a moment there was a bright flash in front of him, then the winged and horned being was in front of him "how the-" he didn't even finish the sentence before turning down another alley "Stop!" The thing yelled, one thing Adenn had learned though, he'd never stop when someone asked it, last time he'd almost lost his life.
"No time!" He yelled back, before seeing another flash that prompted him to turn down another alley.
"Please!"'it yelled again
"Nope!" He didn't know what was happening, talking, multicolored, Quadrupedal being, with horns or wings, or maybe even both, in this ones case "Can't stop!" Which was true, his body wouldn't, since he was in panic mode, which consisted of running and sometimes screaming for his life. With each flash Adenn would turn down another alley, with one though he had decided to just try and hide, his hiding hole came in the shape of a window "Aha!" He announced before jumping towards it.
Whack
Crunch
Adenn groaned as he realized he was on his face after hitting his feet on the bottom of the window.
"Argh, piece of osik "
He put his hands beside him and slowly pushed himself up, only to see that purple thing standing above him, along with a few more of the things.
"Su'cuy ." He said slowly, clearly exhausted from the short run moments ago.
"What are you?" The purple one asked.
--Kallion & Vendir--
"Are you sure you didn't crash the ship? You seem like the person to do that." Kallion had been pestering Vendir about the ship for a few minutes, much to the other man's annoyance.
"For the last time, I did not crash the ship, for if I did my armor would be cracked, and damaged, and charre-"
"You know what, this is getting old lets talk abo-" The clone spotted something in the distance.
"Get down!" He half yelled, half whispered.
"What is i-" as soon a Vendir saw what Kallion had, he almost instantly ducked down.
"What are those things?" He asked.
"Dunno, maybe we're asleep?"
"No, no, that wouldn't explain why you are here though..."
"Ah Kark it, let's find out what these things are." Kallion stood up, finally seeing the creatures for fully for the first time.
"Hey! You! Where are we? And more importantly, what in the kark Are you!?"
The reaction that the clone got was was not the one that he desired, all of the four beings turned to him and stared in horror before letting loose a blood curling scream, well, at least on of them did, the rest of them just shouted while running away.
"Hey! I'm friendly!" Kallion said before running after them, which only added to their terror.
"Kallion! Get back here! That probably looks terrifying!"
Vendir ran after the clone, heavy thuds with each step against the cobblestone ground. The quadrupedal's continued screaming and shouting as they ran, and more of them started screaming as they realized that Kallion was chasing them, and to them, Vendir too.
"We come in peace idiots!"
"Stop chasing them!"
Kallion skidded to a halt, quickly rubbing his head before turning to Vendir
"Wait, were we just chasing four, multicolored quadrupedal aliens..." he paused to catch his breath "through the streets of a town, like we were going to kill them?"
Vendir though back a moment "yes... I think we just were..."
They quickly realized that they should leave, considering the fact that now everything on this planet probably knows about them now, and those things probably don't want a slightly crazy clone and a power hungry force user on their planet.
"Wait, I have an idea! We hide in that forest! It's close by!" Kallion said, sounding proud of himself.
"Why would we do that? The place is probably crawling with those things... And it's really cliché."
Kallion put a hand to where his chin would have been, if his helmet hadn't been it the way, and let out a long and deep sigh.
"Because we can?"
"Fine."
The walk to the forest had been fairly un-eventful, other than hearing nothing, and seeing the houses that looked so similar to each other, Much to Kallion's dislike.
"Wait, what are we gonna do once we get there? It's not like we can build some secret base or anything like that." Vendir asked.
"We'll cross that bridge once we get there."
Author's Note
Alright, finally got the second chapter out, hope you enjoyed the shortness of it.
Also please point out any mistakes in grammar or spelling, and feel free to share your ideas for the next chapter, after all, I can't write this alone.
Adenn Gra'tua
"Urg, my kriffing head..." Adenn sighed, face on what felt like stone, no armored feeling on the rest of his body, as if it was missing "Wait, where's my..." He quickly stood up, much to his hurting heads despise, but he quickly realized his armor was gone, save for his charcoal colored under suit, but all his loose items were gone, removed when he was knocked out by that thing.Shab !" The man shouted aloud, before sighing again"Well, at least this isn't my first time in a prison... Unless this is those things' version of a house," Adenn shook his head "But I doubt that, and I either have to wait until I get released, or break out..." Not that that was going to happen, as the bounty hunter did not know the ability's of these creatures, or their weaknesses for that matter.
Another sigh escaped Adenn Gra'tua's lips, he could try reasoning, it might get him out faster... Or keep him in longer "And none of this is helping out my kriffing head... I might as well be banging it against a wall." He closed his eyes while raising a hand to his head, for a few moments he had peace... Until he heard a noise come from somewhere outside, like voices, then keys jingling, signaling the large wooden door outside his cell to be opened "Finally, someone to talk to." He looked up, half expecting to see some ailien, or Teroch, coming to help him out of this place, but what he saw was neither, it was a large white equine with flowing hair, it was even multiple colors 'I'm drugged,' he thought as all the blood drained from his face 'Unless these are some aliens, but I doubt that.' He stared at the thing, and it stared back at him 'Whats it waiting for? Why isn't it talking?' Adenn cocked his head to the side before speaking up "Uh, su'cuy ? You gonna say anything? Or just stare?" The creature blinked and just before it could say anything the bounty hunter cut it off "And I'd like to know who you are and why you've put me in a prison." The thing stepped closer to his cell before finally speaking "I am princess Celestia..." Boy this was going to be a long day.
--Everfree Forest-- Vendir & Kallion
"So, uh, why? Why was this a good idea?" Kallion asked Vendir, who slowly turned to him.
"I dunno, you were the one who came up with it, remember?"
"Oh, yea, right... Well then, I think we should find someplace to sleep for the night, I'm Kriffing tired" Kallion's helmet folded down, revealing his, as always, tired face, unkept greying hair and beard clearly visible with the light right under his chin "Yea, me too, but one of us would have to keep watch... Unless you want to be found by those things back there."
"They probably already know what happened and have told someone else, and have found whoever was in that ship anyway." The clone cracked his neck before speaking again "But that is that guys problem, unless he knows where we are, and I doubt that."
"No, I suppose not... But whenever we do find a place to sleep we'll have to take shifts... How long would they be? An hour?"
Kallion stopped "Sure, unless you got any caf in there we shouldn't stay up that long tonight." Vendir just nodded before they continued deeper into the forest, it felt strange though, like something was wrong, the force user had this feeling more than the other man, but they both definitely felt it, like something was watching them.
"Oh, sweet, a cave." Kallion said, relived to be able to sleep, not thinking of anything else.
"Wait, we need to check it, make sure nothings in there." Vendir stepped foward, grabbing his lightsaber before turning it on, orange light filled the entrance, showing a flat dirt ground with stones bordering the walls.
"How deep do ya thing it is?" Kallion asked, slowly stepping foward.
"Uh, shouldn't be too long..." The man slowly walked foward, lightsaber held in the air, illuminating the end of the cave "Oh, well, at least there's nothing in it." Vendir turned around to look at Kallion "You sleep first, you probably need it more than me."
"Sure do." Kallion responded, slowly laying on the ground "And pass me that rock," he said wile pointing at a large, but smooth, rock "I'll use it as a pillow."
"Sure," Vendir turned off his weapon then grabbed the rock "It's not like rocks are uncomfortable." He dropped it near the clone's head.
"Don't care." Kallion responded, before putting his head on the rock "Think of it as a makeshift pillow."
"Right."
Thirty minutes later, with Vendir still sitting in the cave, he heard some noises outside, and had been sitting with his lightsaber's hilt in his hand. It had been five more minutes before he heard another noise, followed by scuffling, he stood up, prepared for a fight. Another noise, something like growling, then he saw what was making the noises, it had green eyes and dark brown skin, it looked torn up, like its skin was cut and separated in certain areas, but a moment of staring revealed that it wasn't that, but it was wood, something like armor.
Moments later there was another deep guttural growl, followed by more green glowing eyes being revealed.
"Kallion. Wake up. Now"
Author's Note
So I finally got another chapter out, it's a little short, but that's since I didn't have much inspiration... And I can't say when I'll have the next chapter out, but I can say that I'll be updating it when I have it written down... :P But anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I hope that it was enough for right now.
