Twenty-one Ponies.

"Zecora? What are you doing here?" Twilight sparkle said Happy to see a friendly face.

" At the present moment, being held against my will. I came here to investigate this object, till. I saw three fillies running here wanting trills. they ran, and tripped and fell into that object, that gives us chills." she pointed at the glossy black box that currently did give ponies chills up and down their backs.

"Sweetie Belle. Where is she? Where did that thing take her?" Rarity started to to panic. Apple Jack also realized what Zecora just said. The CMC just disappeared. The distress of the two sisters grew as he other ponies could only looked at each other.

What is going on? Twilight wondered.

" hush now children." the words were so smooth and light. The six stopped, and looked up. The dragon was headed towards them. It was unlike any dragon they have ever seen. Her scales where a deep blue, With white lines curving and fading over them she moved, like sunlight shining through water. She was more serpent the dragon. she only had her two forearms, which she crawled on, slithering her back. Her horns were more as corals then horns. Her face was like a blue lion, with a main in the back. Her tail flared out in a large fan. The silver timber wolf followed her head held high.

"I am mizu no miko Doragon, but you may call me Mizu, and he is Alphacromby  Lieutenant-general of 3rd dragon guard." The dragons words were forced and had difficulty saying the name, rank, and regiment, of the wolf. But she per pronounced her name fluidly and quickly. suggesting she was more comfortable speaking in another language.

"What have you done with our sisters?" Apple Jack and Rarity were both obviously upset.

"nothing children. they are safe, I promise. they on..."

"and how can we trust you?" Rarity interrupted. the following sound was so loud that the ponies  only heard a few seconds of it. Mizu roared, green flames flew over the heads of the ponies before turning into steam. Mizu looked at the ponies, shaking their heads. with a satisfied shake of her head and a jet of flame from her nose, she turned and left.

only a few of the workers stopped and watched the dragon lose her temper, before returning to work. the silver Timber wolf stood there waiting for the six to regain their hearing.

"Don't interrupt, if yer want to keep your fur on your 'ide.” the wolf’s, Alphacromby, accent was thick. not like the dragons who had to force her words,  Alphacromby spoke fast, "An' don't worry, your pups are safe an' soun'."

"But where are they?" Rarity was distraught.

"I do not know." the dragon Muzi said as she slid back over." But if it's were the Great dragon was their safe. And when he wakes, subarshī Doragon may know where your chicks have run to." Muzi said, calmly. "But first, we must move subarshī Doragon. he in the way of the building." the two unusual beings left, leaving the ponies looking at each other confused. With more questions.

the sun was setting and the ponies where getting hungry. And almost like they were reading their minds, two of the creatures came up to the ponies, bringing bowls of hot stew and a flat cracker.

the beings were like nothing the ponies have ever seen before. one of the bipedal wolves. He had long mangy brown fur. he had long black  claws. his face was long, with sharp teeth. the other was like the dragon, but green. she was serpent like half way up her body, the rest was upright. her skin was lighter than her scales, softer. she had two lumps on her chest. her face was flat and her eyes were yellow. they both had swords strapped to their sides, and a long odd contraption on there back. they introduced themselves as Duegon, a private in the 3rd dragon guard, and sssitha, of the 80th serpent amphibious assault unit.

Duegon words were rough, with lots of snarls and gnashing, but very similar to Alphacromby. sssitha was quiet, but when she did speak, it was in a hypnotizing singing voice, drawing out her s.

" we hope you will be assss comfortable assss posssible" The two started to talk about themselves. Names of family, towns and cities, people and groups. All ment nothing to the ponies.

the other beings of the place were working tirelessly to get the large crystal out of the creator, with a system of pulleys and a Ursa Minor. Rarity walked over to the crystal, the dragon acted as if it came from the black box that had taken her sister. it was nothing she ever seen before, it was the largest crystal she had ever seen. the edges were red that gradually grew black the deeper it went, as the light was just trapped inside the structure. Rarity placed her hoof on it, finding it felt hollow. Looking into it, she saw her reflection, as well as something else. The longer she looked into it the more it came into shape: many, long, sharp, smiling, teeth.

"Rarity?" Twilight pulled on Rarity's shoulder, "come here I want you to look at this box with me."  the workers started to lifted the crystal and paced it on a platform.

The glossy black box, had lines, boxes, and circles of gold an its side. The ponies swore the could here whispering.

"Rarity, do you here that?" Twilight was speaking low.

"Yeah! What is it do you think?"

"Well, duh, sillies!" The loud voice mad the ponies jump. Pinkie pie was sitting on top of the box, "it's a inter demential object that was fragmented and through into our world. And marks a new beginning in our technological evolution."  The two blinked at the pink pony.

"WHAT!" Twilight screamed. She was vary agitated. With everything going on, it was like she was in another world.

"Children." Muzi slithered over to the ponies, "time to go."

The crystal, along with boxes of supplies and solders, was loaded onto a large platform. More dragons seem to shimmer into existence, much like Muzi only different colors. One looked a lot like an older Spike, rarity noted.

They started to hum, deep in their throats. As they did the clouds gathered overhead on a supposedly sunny day. The humming grew stronger, a slight warbling could be heard. And with the warbling came wind.

"Everyone on." Muzi called behind the ponies. She suddenly had become twice he original size, large enough to carry everyone. The ponies were piked up and placed on Muzi back.  All exept Rainbow Dash, who insisted on flying.

"I wou-," Dash flew off before Alphcromby could finish,"-dn't."

"She will be fine Alpha. Let's go." The humming and warbling became louder, as the wind became stronger. Muzi opened up her wings.
