CHAPTER 1
" Rainbow Dash! what do you see?" twilight shouted so the Pegasus could hear her.
" Nothing but smoke." Rainbow Dash said doing a three point landing. "its one big creator, and all the trees near it are knocked down."
"How far is it?" Rarity sat down and waving her hoof in the air.
"Not far, just over these trees."
the six ponies were traveling the entire day. and night was falling. two days ago something fell from the sky and the smoke was still bellowing up from the area. Twilight Sparkle was helping the CMC try to get their "astrology" cutie mark. When a meteoroid burned through the sky, crashing far to the south of ponyville. with natural curiosity the the six ponies scurried around the Everfree Forest, which was unusually full with timber wolves the last two days. taking the long way around wasted the entire day, but it was safer. now they had to go through the Everfree Forest, to get to the meteorite.
the forest was even darker than usual. signs of timber wolves were everywhere, twigs and leaves scattered about, large paw prints, but those timber wolves were nowhere to be seen; which was strange because they were actively following the six up the border of the forest.
Going deeper into the forest the ponies came out into a large opening where the impact knocked the trees down. the warmth and light was odd, out of place for this cold and dark forest. the summer sun was definitely made itself known here. a wave of heat shimmered around the ponies. As soon they were all out of the forest, three Timber Wolves came seemingly out of thin air. Sharp twigged, hungry timberwolves. the ponies tried to run but four more wolves formed behind them, stopping their retreat. the six were surrounded, the wolves bared their twigs, swung their paws and snapped at the ponies heals, but made no moves towards the ponies formed a circle.
"Twilight? What do we do?" Rarity asked picking up a stick with her magic. Before Twilight could come up with anything, a loud roar echoed through the forest. Coming from the crater.
The timberwolves sat down, and stared at the six. It wasn't long until another wolf bounded in front of them. he had silver fur instead of leaves, and white teeth. his demeanor was calm and almost royal, but still wild. as he walked around, his eyes shifted back and forth between the six. then, walking right up to twilight, the wolf lowered his head to the ground, turning it to the side. Twilight was confused, looking over to her friends.
"He's submitting to you." fluttershy said quietly behind Rarity. the timberwolves started to pushed the ponies along the gray one turning away heading towards the crater. Ignoring the protests of the ponies, the timberwolves forced them to follow.
the six, reluctantly, were lead in a straight line, twilight at the lead. the air was shimmering around them, and like a wall in front of them. The gray wolf stopped. Twilight wings shifted into place. she thought she heard somepony say 'get on' before she was shoved through shimer. She disappeared with a pop.
The ponies shouted seeing their friend vanish and but pushed through. one by one, disappearing into the shimmer.
the ponies of ponyville were trying to get through their regular day, through the excitement of the thing falling from the sky. Ditsy Do Hooves was at Octavia's, delivering the mail to her and Vinyl Scratch, they both had a letter from Canterlot. she knocked on the door, something caught her eye. distracted by the new seen she continued to knock after the door was opined. Octavia was bombarded with raping of hooves.
"Derpy. Derpy! DERPY!"
"opps sorry Octavia. heres your letters."
"what are you looking at?"
"nothing, just princess Luna and Princess Celestia's chariots are coming here. well good bye! I have one more letter to deliver. Oooooh look, its for me!"
Octavia leaned out of the doorway. Derpy was right the royal chariots was coming down from Canterlot.
"the royal chariots is coming down from canterlot." Octavia said from the corner of her mouth, and went back inside the house rubbing her forehead. It was had been a long day for her. Dropping the letters on the table, she was about to get a snack before going back to practice her cello; she suddenly realized what she just said.
"VINYL! the royal chariots is coming! get up! Princess luna and Celestia are coming! GET UP! Wipe the frosting off your mouth!"
the Chariots landed on the main road. all the ponies gathered around waiting there bowing. Before her guard could open the door Princess Luna jumped out of her Chariot. Mayor Mare addressed them.
"good afternoon your majesties. we were not accepting you..."
" Twilight Sparkle, is she here!" commanded Princess Luna
" N-no your majesty, s-she is not."
" Calm down sister there is no need to become excited." Princess Celestia said stepping off from her chariot. After Celesta came an old mare Pegasus.
" Ah it feels good to get the old bones moving" the old ponies voice was like a equally age rocking chair.
" when do you think she wil be back?" Luna asked still a bit inpatient.
"Soon your majesty."
"Hopefully soon enough." The old mare said, looking around the crowded, "their probable making new freinds." Her eyes continued to scan the ponies, looking for a few in particular. Celestia looked at the old mare
"If you interact with them you know what will happen." Celestia whispered.
"We both know you can't stop me." The mare crooked. Luna looked back at the two. she had missed her old friend and from what her sister said, Sunny Starry was loyal to both of them in the end. She just wonder if those loyalties still stood.
The six freinds were stunned to see what was beyond the wave. hundreds of timber wolves were moving wood, pulling wagons of building supplies. there was a Ursa Minor was lifting the larger trees into place. there were other creatures that was never seen in Equestra before: great furry wolves standing on their hind legs, and serpents with arms and hands flat faces that resembled fair smooth skinned apes.
around them tents were set up in the areas where they could. Food was cooking, and the smell filled the air. Small Light Wisps flew over their heads. Laughter and shouts could be heard every once and a while. As the group made their way through. As far as the ponies could see the haze went all around the camp.
when they came to the crater. In it was three of the oddest things the young mares have ever seen. First was a large glossy black box, right in the middle, angled, stuck in the ground. the creatures were working to dig it out with shovels and hands. secondly was a tall dark crystal, on its side, leaning up the side of the crater. lastly was a dragon wrapped around the crystalline structure. it looked like a serpent, with a long winding body. the only way they knew it was a dragon, was because of the front limbs and small wings on its back.
the silver wolf slid down the side of the crater. the ponies were pushed down. at the bottom they were greeted by a mysterious and familiar voice.
"hello pony folk."
"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.
