The colony was building their first construction frigates, the Captain of the Hope Bringer was walking around the ship, searching for something to do in her free time. Suddenly a voice sounded in all the ship.

"Captain, we need you on the bridge... NOW!"

AJ rushed to the bridge, she didnt known why it sounded so urgent.

"Captain you have to hear this" Said the Communication Captain.

"...*sight*...Colony 01 exploration team reporting...*strange sounds on the background*... we are not alone... *gunfire sounds*..."

"What did ah just heard?" Asked AJ.

"Captain that was a distress call from the planet" Said the Communication Captain "Would you like to contact the commander Pinkie Pie?"

"Naaa, ah know pinkie as well as ma hoof, she can handle it."

"Captain we are receiving another signal from the same location... playing... now"

"*indecipherable sounds*"

All the ponies on the bridge were puzzled, no idea who or what was trying to communicate with them, but it was using the distress channel, maybe that thing is friendly and needs assistance.


Back on the Colony, someponies were occupied with the construction frigates, others taking care of the farms, others making medicine already and others exploring the planet.

The scout team came back to the colony early than expected, they were scared of something they found on the wilds of the planet.

"We found something strange, its a like a ball of cotton candy but with mouth and eyes, that thing was making horrible squeals, we tried to shot at it, but the damn thing is inmune to bullets" Said the leader of the scouts, no casualties by the way.

All the ponies laughted at them, saying that the scouts were drunk or that they are crazy.

Suddenly another shuttle from the Hope Bringer arrived, inside the shuttle was the Captain AJ followed by a strange couple of ponies, a light brown earth pony with a green tie and a gray pegasus with funny eyes.

They asked the scout ponies to guide them to were they last saw the creature. It took them just a few minutes to get there the scout ponies went back to the colony with the excuse of helping with the frigates.

"Ok, they said that the creature looks like a ball of cotton candy, amazing!" the light brown pony said with a rather enthusiastic tone.

"Doctor please focus" Said the gray pegasus with a little giggle.

A little pink ball of fur that looked like a cotton candy rolled from the bushes, the creature was rather cute, as soon as the creature noticed the ponies it started to squeal. AJ got scared and pointed her hoof gun at the creature.

"Relax Captain, its just a little fluffy Aish" Said the Doctor.

The called Aish jumped and hanged on AJ head like a hat, then the thing started to speak.

"Hello Equine forms of life keep calm, my species is a peaceful one" Said the Aish.

"How do ya know English anyway?" Asked the Captain AJ.

"Thats simple, my species can absorb knowledge from other species just sitting in their head, i tried with the other ones but they got scared" Said the Aish, with a neutral tone on his/her voice.

"That means that your home is this planet... MARVELOUS!... FIRST CONTACT!!!!" Said the Doctor jumping around like a little colt.

The gray mare was trying to keep the Doctor calm like a caring mother with her colt, AJ was talking with the Aish, like asking for help with the colony, technological support if any and other stuff.


The army of mech ponies Commanded by Pinkie was going in the direction that the scouts pointed, 400 mech ponies, terrorist, robbers, maniacs, etc, all of them now emotionless robots.

After 30 minutes of walking, the army found hoofprints leading to the wilds of the planet, the commander didnt excitated to gave the order to follow the hoofprints.

What they found amazed Pinkie, a giant gate guarded by mechanical weapons shaped as birds, their pilots were fluffy little cotton candy balls with eyes and mouth

"OOH what cute little things, i wonder if they taste like cotton candy!?" Said Pinkie with a frightening smile.

The scouts mentioned that the cotton candy things are inmune to bullets, thats why Pinkie was happy to test the prototype of the newest laser gun, all the mech ponies are equipped with that, but in variations, like a machine guns, sniper rifles, submachine guns and hoof pistols.

The Aish on the bird like mechs were puzzled, then suddenly the army of mech ponies started to shoot their laser weapons at them, it caught them by surprise.

In no time both of the bird mechs were destroyed, their pilots KIA (Killed in Accion). The army of mech ponies is forcing their entrance to the Aish settlement.

Inside AJ, the Doctor and his assistant were hearing the noise outside the settlement, while they looked through the cameras installed by the Aish, AJ froze at what she saw, an army of mech ponies, no idea where they came from, then she noticed Pinkie Commanding them.

AJ knew about project Evo, but if the mech ponies are the results, that project is too dangerous, and Pinkie, why is she doing that?, she is not like that, then she remembered that day.

Flashback

"*sniff* Twilight wake up, please Twilight, dont leave us *sniff*" Pinkie was crying next to the lifeless body of the Princess.

"*sniff* Sorry Sugarcube, she is gone now *sniff*" Said AJ trying to calm Pinkie.

"ITS ALL YOUR FAULT AJ!... You were in charge of the security" Said Rainbow very angry by the incident.

Rarity and Fluttershy already said their goodbyes, they couldnt stand seeing their friend death, AJ kept quiet ignoring what the angered Rainbow was shouting at her, Pinkie was still crying but deeply she agreed with Rainbow, everything was AJs fault.

Flashback End

The mech ponies were shooting at the doors of the settlement, the Aish are a pacific species, they dont have too much weaponry their only defence are their bird like mechs, but those are easily destroyed by the laser guns of the mech ponies.

The only plan what they got is to evacuate every Aish before the mech ponies destroy the frontal entrance, the Doctor and his assitant dissapeared, AJ and the Aish on her head were the only ones around, they both helped the other Aish to get to the evacuation shuttle, obviously built by the Aish to escape in case of an attack, they are peaceful not idiots.

The Aish are small, all the settlement can be evacuated in a simple shuttle, their destination, the Hope Bringer.


"Mech ponies, impossible, they are supposed to appear in exactly 2 centuries" The Doctor was saying to his assistant.

"So, lets stop them like always Doctor" Said the assistant.

"No Ditzy, this is not our mission, we are here just to watch, i know that the Captain will succeed at the end... i hope so" Said the Doctor leaving to his Blue box with his assistant Ditzy.


The evacuation shuttle made it to the Hope Bringer, all the crew went to the docking bay to receive their Captain, 5 minutes before she requested landing from a strange looking shuttle.

All the ponies were happy that their Captain is safe and sound on the ship, but also she brought company.

"Ya all listen, these cute creatures are Aish, they are friendly, let them be" Said AJ with the Aish still in her head.

AJ took off the Aish from her head and let it roll around the bridge, she is angry at Pinkie, the project Evo was cancelled, why is it on motion?. Then she remembered, Rainbow is the Minister of Military, since the dead of Twilight the elements are not the same,

Loyalty?... mah Flank thought AJ while contacting with Rainbow.
