Heaven? Hell? Nope, Just Racist Ponies
Chapter 3: First Contact
Previous ChapterRick waited for about a minute for a response of some sort. He didn't get one. Rick then fell quickly to his knees, his hands on his head. His head felt like a hammer was being pounded into his skull. Repeatedly. Rick slipped his backpack off and grabbed a water bottle out. He lifted his mask up and began chugging in down the water. His head began to slowly stop pounding, but was still there. He then was hit with a sensation of something that he hadn't felt in a long time. Pleasure.
"What the hell?" thought Rick. He then tasted and felt a sweetness in his mouth, soon following down to his lungs. He then realized what this feeling of pleasure was. The pleasure of fresh air. Rick slowly took off his Gas Mask, then taking in the sweet fresh air.
"What the hell? Why do I smell fresh air? The air is supposed to be filled with toxic gas!" thought rick as he began to take in his surrounding. He was surrounded by thick evil looking trees. He then turned his head to see the front of his truck stuck in the trunk of a tree.
"Great, just great." said Rick out loud, then getting to his feet. He opened the back side door of the truck and unzipped one of the army duffle bags. He then grabbed an ax out of the bag and set it aside. Rick then grabbed an empty SCAR H with seven mags for it. He began swapping ammo types and soon was fully loaded with ammo for his two guns. He quickly loaded his new gun and then slid the gun strap onto his solder. He then grabbed the 2 Frag Grenades with the ax.
"Time to get cracking." said rick, putting his gas mask on and walking over the the tree.

Rick had bead working for one hour and had made tremendous amount of progress. Rick had cut down the tree much faster then he had expected and had made up camp. He had a fully made tent to fit two with a sleeping bag in it. A big came fire that had a wall of rocks surrounding the burning wood and flames. He had also made a list of his new loot, seance he had a sort time stealing shopping.

Rick smiled at his list of stuff that he had. He felt like a kid getting a puppy for Christmas. Except just replace the kid with a insane 23 year old getting over a dozens guns and a shit ton of ammo. Then suddenly, a twig snipped behind him. Rick swung around, aiming his SCAR H at whoever that had entered his camp. His eyes widen at the sight he saw. There where three small black, human bug like things in front of him. The three had insect wings and a little curved horn. There eyes where blue with white pupils and where shivering in fear. They had rags for cloths and had human like expressions of fear on there faces.
"First the blinding flash, I'm in an unknown area, there is fresh air and alien like creatures-" thought Rick as he then came to a instant conclusion.
"Oh shit! I am on a alien planet! Rick then began to have a little panic attack inside his head. But he quickly put those thoughts in the back of his head and panic latter. He then lowered his SCAR H and keeled down.
"Can you understand me?" he asked, looking into the three alien's eyes.
"W-what are y-you?" said the one in front of the group. It sounded like a scared child, except just add a high tone and bug like voice with it.
"I'm a human, what are you?" said Rick calmly. His tone of voice seemed to calm the little group of aliens a bit.
"We are Changelings." said the one to the right of the group. Before Rick could ask a question, the one to the left asked.
"A-are you going to e-eat us?" Rick was surprised at what the Changeling had asked him. The three stared at him in fear again.
"No I'm not going to eat you. Why would I eat you?" said Rick.
"Because y-your a monster. Monsters eat little Changelings." Said the little one to the left.
"Well I'll tell you that I don't eat Changelings." said Rick, calming the little Changelings down. Rick then sat down on a short stump, near the fire. The Changelings watched as Rick sat and opened a can of pears. Rick looked over to the group of Changelings and waved them over. The Changelings slowly trotted over to Rick, sitting next to the biped.
Rick then offered them each a can of pears, witch they eagerly took. Rick smiled as they tried to sink there fangs into their cans. Rick took the cans back and opened them with his Combat Knife, then giving them the food. As soon as the three Changelings got their cans, they began to viciously devoured the food that they where given.
"It's like that haven't eaten for years." thought rick as they devoured the pears.
"You guys look very young...where are your parents?" asked Rick, now getting the Changelings attention.
"Mother Chrysalis is at the cave, helping the other get better and keeping the last of our kind alive." said one on the Changelings, licking the rest of the pear juice out of the can.
"keeping the last of our kind alive? What the hell!" Thought Rick. he then asked.
"Where is your cave?"
"It's that way!" said the other Changeling, pointing one of his claws into the thick woods
"Well then, It looks like I have to pack up my gear." sighed Rick as he loaded up his duffle bags into the truck. He then took apart his tent and loaded it into it's own bag. The three little Changelings watched as he packed his things into the green monster of a truck. It took him ten minutes for Rick to stuff everything into the army truck.
After he was done packing up, he waved the three Changelings over to the passenger seat. He helped them up and into the Green metal truck. Rick then got into the driver's seat and shut his door. The Changelings watched as he put the car key into a little hole that fit perfectly, then twisting the key and the truck came to life. The Changelings jumped at the truck's mighty roar. The three Changelings hugged each other, afraid that some sort of monster to pop out of nowhere and eat them. Rick snicker a little at the three Changelings. He then began to back up the car and drive down the path.

It didn't take long for Rick and the three Changeling to get to the cave. But of course, they ran into some obstacles on there way. They eventually found parts of the forest that went too thick and had level ground. When the human and the three Changelings came to the front of the cave, they where greeted by 5 Changelings in mid-evil dark blue armor with spears that had green goop on the spear tips.
Rick got out of the truck with the three changelings by his side. The Changelings in armor look confused at what they saw. They saw a tall biped figure with a brown hoodie and black pants on. It also had black armor, gloves, and boots on with a scary mask. But what took them off by surprise was that three of there kind was trotting with this monster and looked... happy? This totally took the 5 armored Changelings off guard. The three little Changelings then trotted over to the Changeling guards and hugged then.
"Where did you three go?" said one of the Changeling guards in a buggy like voice.
"We wanted to get some more food for everyone else. So we sneaked out." said the little Changeling.
"But we did find some food and a friendly monster." said the other little one, pointing it's hoof at the human. Rick walked over to the Changeling guards and offered his hand. One of the Changeling guards raised his hand and began to do a handshake
"I just shook hands with an alien." thought Rick blankly.
"So..." started Rick.
"Your some type of guards?" asked Rick.
"Yes." said the Changeling guards. Then a load roar could be heard. Rick spun around, aiming his SCAR H. He saw a giant lion with bat wings and scorpion tail, about to pounce on him. Rick rolled to the left, barely being crushed by the bat-lion thing. Rick quickly got up and saw the Changelings throwing there spears of goop at the monster lion thing. Time began to slow down as the spears flew in the air. Then an evil idea came into Rick's mind. He grabbed one of his Frags and pulled the pin. The spears then hit the side of the lion-bat thing and it screamed. As it screamed, he threw the Frag Grenades into the bat-lion's mouth and it swallowed it.
"See you in hell demon." said Rick darkly. Then, right on que, the monster's stomach exploited, spraying blood, bone, and gore everywhere. Everything and everyone was covered in blood and chunks of gore.
"That's how you get the job done." said Rick as he walked away from horrified changeling guards.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike had bean running through the Everfree, screaming. Only to be stopped by running into a group of six mares. They instantly stopped screaming as soon as they caught sight of the six mares. The three crusaders and baby dragon were then being hugged to death by the mares. After the hugs of death stopped, the group of mares started bombing questions after questions at the four.
"Thank goodness that your alright Sweetie Belle! Where were you!?" said a worried white unicorn.
"Don't you EVER to that to me ever again Spike!" exclaimed a purple alicorn, tightly hugging around spike's neck, almost making him turn blue from the lack of oxygen.
"Where the hay did you go Scootaloo!? You left us all thinking that you where kidnapped!" said a very angry blue pegasus.
"Applebloom! Where in tarnation were ya!?" said an orange earth pony.
After they bombarded the CMC and Spike with question, they quieted down to give them a chance to speak.
"We where trying to find something in the old sister's castle to get are Cutiemarks." squeaked Sweetie Belle. The other two ponies nodded in response.
"Okay then." said Twilight, but before the Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders could even take a berth, Twilight then said.
"But that doesn't answer my question of why Spike was with you three."
"Tour guide." said spike lamely. Twilight just facehoof in response.
"Okay, now maybe you could answer why there was a giant magic anomaly in the Everfree forest them?" asked Twilight.
"Cutie Mark Crusaders Portal Master!" squeaked Sweetie Belle, now getting a look of what did you do from Twilight.
"YOU DID WHAT!?" shouted Twilight at the top of her lungs, almost knocking everypony off of their hooves.
"Do you know how hard and dangerous that is!? I can't make portals even as an Alicorn for Celestia's sake!" exsclamed Twilight in mixed emotions like anger, frustration, fear, and shock. Twilight's friends looked at her in shock at Twilight's outburst. Twilight then noticed what she had done and began to take deep breaths.
"Sorry Sweetie Belle, I didn't mean to hurt you feelings...It's just that making portals is very dangerous and dangerous things can come out of them." said twilight. She then got something she that she didn't expect at all.
"Just like the green and black carriage with the bad mouth monster?" said Sweetie Belle. The six mare's jaws dropped at what she said.
"You made a portal and a monster come out of it?" asked Rarity, shock that her little sister was that powerful.
"What did it say?" asked Pinkie Pie. Sweetie Belle then gulped and nudged Scootaloo with her hoof. The orange filly sighed and said.
"It said 'whoever just *F** flashed banged me is going to F die."*" The six mares dropped their jaws again and began to talk at once.
"Goodness, what a awful foul mouthed brute!" said Rarity in shock of how it talked to Sweetie Belle.
"If it dare lay a hoof on you Scootaloo, I swear that it will not even see the light of day." said Rainbow Dash in anger of how it threaten Scootaloo.
"That down right foul mouth meanie!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie as her hair deflated from cotton candy to long straight pink hair.
"Gosh darn it! That thing gonna pay for threatening Applebloom." mumbled Applejack as her anger began to build up.
"Why would such a thing say something like that to three little fillies?" Said Fluttershy, a little louder then usual for her. Twilight thought of what to do in this situation.
"Girls." said Twilight, getting eveypony's attention.
"This monster has came from an unknown world and as threaten to hurt Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike. I think we should go find it and capture it, before it can hurt anypony." said Twilight, getting nods from her best friends, except from a shy yellow pegasus. Twilight looked at Fluttershy in confusion.
"What's the matter Fluttershy?" asked twilight
"Oh..Um it's just that I think-" Fluttershy was interrupted by an annoyed blue pegasus.
"Come on! Let's go buck this thing into next week!" said Rainbow Dash, speeding into the Everfree Forest.
"Rainbow Dash wait- Uggg! Come on girls." said Twilight, now gulping after her fast friend. The others followed her, having no Idea that they where running after possibly the most evil and dangerous creature on the frickin' planet.

They had bean running after the speeding blue blur and had eventually caught up to her.
"What where you thinking!? That monster could have hurt or even killed you!?" said Twilight in frustration and worry.
"I know I know okay! It's just that It threaten to hurt them and..." Rainbow Dash then paused for a moment, then saying.
"And my anger got the best of me." Grumbled Rainbow Dash. The rest of the group began to trot and hug the rainbow maned mare.
"The monster should be over there." said Scootaloo pointing her hoof at what looked like a abandon camp sight. The group trotted over to the abandon camp and began to look for clues.
"It looks like it left in a hurry." said Twilight, examining the strange footprints in the dirt.
"Over here girls." said Rainbow Dash. The rest of the group trotted over to her to see her pointing at what looked like tracks of some sort of wheel.
"That must be the wheel to it carriage." said Twilight, they then heard a faint oh no over from Fluttershy.
"What ya matter?" asked Applejack
"There are other hoof prints here besides ours. They look younger then Cutie Mark Crusaders and they lead going into the carriage." said Fluttershy with worry.
"So ya sayin that this evil monster has three fillies that are younger then my sister?" Asked Applejack. Fluttershy gave a faint yes.
"This monster has threaten to hurt the CMC and Spike and has now kidnapped three fouls." stated Twilight, then saying.
"Girls, we need to get a letter to Celestia and the Royal Guard now, before anything happens to those fillies." said Twilight, the rest of the group and began to make there way back to Ponyville.
