They had finally done it.
They had created a masterpiece of metal that ran on Alicorn magic alone.
Twilight Sparkle's dream was about to come true. A dream that had came to her long ago.
The many thoughts of success went through Twilight's head as she looked at the portal, a portal to the human world, a world of legend. A world of super advanced technology far more advanced then what they had here in Equestria. A world Twilight wanted to study.
"Is it ready yet, my faithful student?" Asked Princess Celestia gawking at the behemoth of technology that helped create this marvel.
"Yes, Princess it is ready and awaiting the power of Alicorn magic to open the rift to the new world. We can then study life in the human world and bring some of their technology back to Equestria and create our own inventions!" Twilight squealed her excitement getting the better of her.
Princess Celestia simply nodded and kept on her "no emotion" face. She did not think that Twilight or Equestria as a whole was ready to see or visit the vast lifestyle that the humans lived. The humans lived in a life of fear, anger, greed and destruction. Long ago Luna and her created a portal just with magic to go to the human world acting just like Twilight was. They had stumbled onto a war that was going on over the water. Flying metal birds were flying shooting some sort of projectiles at each other, many of them bursting into flames and exploding. The Princesses decided to escape before one of the birds attacked them. Right before they went back after Luna went through Celestia saw something that had still haunted her mind to this day. She saw one larger metal bird fly over a large city like Canterlot and drop this black tear drop shaped thing into the city. When it hit there was a huge explosion and a large cloud erupted from where it had hit. Her face in horror she ran through the portal and away from the mushroom cloud and back to safe Equestria. The explosion destroyed the other half of the portal so they could not go back. Celestia secretly vowed to never go back...
She did not say "Oh, I will not go back." or "I am not coming." She said "Has Luna arrived yet?"
"No Princess she has not arrived yet but she will soon. I sent Spike to go get her." Muttered Twilight as she put finishing touches on the portal frame.
As if on cue Princess Luna and Spike walked in ready to see this new invention that Twilight was so excited about. The four of them plus two royal guard would go to the human world and study them. Shining Armor would be in charge until they got back which would be in a few days. None of the princesses were worried because the changlings were not a threat right now and Lord Triek was still in Tartarus guarded by Cerberus. Discord was reformed and not being trouble anymore. It was time, Spike stepped back and watched in awe as the three alicorns shot their magic into the power generator overloading it with power. The portal frame itself sparked and then grew to life making a large pink portal as large as the lab room. The princesses stepped back in surprise seeing how large the portal was. Twilight was reassuring herself that this was happening by flying up and falling onto the ground. Spike was just staring at the portal with his jaw dropped open.
"Uh, Twi I don't think that is safe."
"Of course it is safe Spike why would I not go into it right now" Twilight chuckled as she practically jumped into the portal. As she entered she shimmered and dissappeared. Celestia gasped in horror it had actually worked?" Luna then chuckled and walked in herself. Just like Twilight she shimmered and disappeared. Spike was nervous and was afraid to go in.
"Princess Celestia i don't think I can do it." Spike muttered at the tall princess. "Can we go in together?"
"Yes we can." Celestia said to the cowering baby dragon. They walked in together. the feeling when they entered was indescribable but felt very odd. A bright light blinded her so bright she could not see anything at all.
When the light cleared she saw that they were in a forest right near a small town. Luna and Twilight were walking a few meters ahead walking slow enough to wait for Celestia and Spike. Twilight turned and smiled from ear to ear when saw Celesta.
"It worked! I can't believe that it actually worked!" she squealed with an excitement that Celestia had never seen before.
"Lets go and see these humans and get this over with" Celestia grumbled.
The town was not that big compared to Canterlot. It had a town square with a road going right through it. The humans that passed by them were either too busy on their weird glowing box things or gave them odd looks. Some of them tried to push by them resulting with the royal guards getting agitated. The town had lots of shops and had many people milling around. One woman pushed by Twilight resulting with her saying "Excuse me!" The group had made sure not to talk to the humans just not to scare them. The woman screamed and fell to the hard ground slowly backing away her eyes widened in horror. She pulled out her box thing and screamed into it, "Help! There are some weird things attacking me by Main Street!" As the group walked closer the woman ran away screaming down the street. The other people started to quickly walk away. Luna accidentally used her Royal Canterlot Voice to call the humans back. The humans screamed as if the world was about to end.
"Now how are we going to study them?" groaned Twilight wishing that she had a book with her.
"Twi, I think you were scaring them." Spike said to his best friend.
Celestia laughed to herself now she was starting to figure out that the humans were terrible and scared of ponies.
Sirens blared in the distance and in a flash two metal carriages with blue flashing lights on top it sped up and four humans got out and pulled out some slim short weapon and pointed them at the group. " Police! Put your hands up where we can see them!" The guards prepared their spears to attack the humans. Twilight Luna and Spike cowering in front of the human guards not even knowing what a hand even was.. Celestia however stood her ground and glared right back at the human guards. The human guard shot some sort of fast fire out of the short weapons causing a loud crack in the air. The royal guards guarding the group fell to the ground blood exploding from their heads, spraying all over the group their helmets not protecting them at all. Celestia fell over repulsed by the bright sticky spray. The guards ran from behind the doors to their carriages to where the ponies lay cowering in fear or in the guards case dead on the ground.
Celestia, with her eyes closed heard the two police talking to each other.
"What the hell are these things?"
"Do you think they are some sort of aliens?"
"I don' know. This is the marvel of-" The guard never finished his sentence. Celestia opened her eyes to see the guard with some sort of dart sticking out his neck. The guard staggered grabbed his neck and fell to the ground not moving. The other guard handled his weapon and shouted at nobody in particular. "Who are you? What the hell are you doing, messing with public authority! This is an act of war!" Another loud crack, another dart hit the police in the neck causing him to trip and fall to the ground twitching. The rest of the group opened their eyes to see many guards holding weapons and bulky vests on their chests. They were all wearing white and had black glass over their eyes. One of them picked up a black box and said three words that made no sense to the ponies,
"Keter, Euclid or Safe?"
They needed to get back to the portal so they could escape this nightmare but first they needed to distract these guards. Celestia's horn glowed a brilliant gold and sent a blast knocking back the soldiers all on their backs. The guards started attacking darts hitting Luna then Spike then Twilight knocking them out just like the police was. She then felt a sharp pain in her side. She looked to see a dart sticking out of her body. Celestia fell over her vision blurring. The cracks in the air stopped and a human walked up to her. He was wearing a long white coat. He chuckled as he walked over to them.
"Euclid, definitely Euclid. Get the trucks ready to carry them, even the dead ones to Site-19. I want them evaluated and studied."
"Yes Doctor Blanc"
Blanc then noticed that Celestia was still awake.
"So you are the new additions to the Foundation are you? Good job with the civilians that will be Class 3 amnestics for anyone who saw you" he said in a serious voice.
"Who and what are you?" Celestia mumbled about to pass out.
"Good Question. I am Doctor Blanc one of the main directors at the Foundation."
Right before Celestia passed out he heard Blanc talk to his guard. "Classify these beings as 3870 the Pink one being 3870-1 and the black one being 3870-2 and the different one to be 3870-3 and the white one to be 3870-4. The guard saluted and walked off.
Blanc chucked and said to the unconscious ponies,
"Welcome to the SCP Foundation."
