///Celestia\\

Princess Celestia sat in her bedchambers. She had just lowered the sun and raised the moon. It had been 30 years since she banished her sister, Luna to the moon, and every time she raised the moon she still shed a tear. That was when she heard it. The whistling of something falling, fast. She galloped to her window and threw the blinds open with her magic, just in time to see a giant ball of fire soaring over Canterlot castle and crash into the Everfree. A mushroom cloud erupted from the crash and half a second later a giant BOOM sounded. Shaking the castle and waking everypony in Canterlot. A day guard rushed into her chamber. "Princess! Hurry we must get you to safety!"

"No, Storm. Make sure everypony in Canterlot is fine. Then organise a search party. We are going to figure out what this thing is."

"Stay behind us, Princess." One of Celestia's personal guards. Striker, a day guard unicorn. There are six of them that formed the search party. They approached the now smoldering wreck that was so broken it was hardly describable. Celestia heard one of the guards gag, as there before them lay a creature that Celestia had never seen before. A bipedal creature. Impaled on a plate of what looked like iron or steel. The creature was strange. It had no hair on any part of its body that was immediately apparent except on its head, which looked like, if groomed in the right way could resemble a mane... Maybe.. Celestia looked away as Midnight, a night guard pegasi that was with them said a quick prayer. Upon further inspection of the crashed wreck it became apparent that, what Celestia believed was the front had a glass plating over what looked like a sort of control centre. Levers and knobs littered the panels and there was two more of the bipedal creatures inside. Sparks would crackle from the panels bringing an eerie feeling to the dark room. After casting a quick life detecting spell it revealed that both of the bipedals inside the wreck were still alive. If only just barely. "Storm, Midnight. Bust open this glass," She pointed to two pegasi." You two, fly as fast as you can back to the castle. We need a medical team out here!" They saluted and took off, back to the castle. Friend or foe. Celestia was not going to let these creatures die.

After two weeks on constantly monitoring the creatures and keeping them under almost a 24/7 life support spell. One finally woke up. It sat up and rubbed its eyes. Wincing at some pain from the injury it sustained on its head. It muttered something incoherently before looking straight at Celestia. The creature had grey eyes, rare in Equestria and the hair on its... Head? Was blonde and extremely curly. Its eyes widened and, as if on instinct reached behind its back for something that was not there. "Its okay, we won't hurt you." She felt like she was talking to a foal that was found I a ruined city. Fighting for scraps. "Y.. You speak our language?" He asked. His voice held a thick accent that she could not identify. At least, Celestia assumed he was a male if how deep a voice is usually tells if something is male or female applied to his race. "Yes, I didn't know you could speak Equestrian?"

"Oh I am not. I am speaking English, or Standard Galactic English. Almost all of the races we know of use it."

"Sorry if I seem if I don't understand. But, you fell from the sky. We didn't know if any pony else was out there."

Well, I'm not a pony. I'm a Guardian."

"I see... So, what exactly are you, and I must ask. Will you harm me and the citizens of Equestria?"

"I am a Guardian. At least, that is what the other races call us. We do not know our races real name, and as our name suggests. We would rather guard the citizens of the Milky Way rather than harm them." Celestia sat on a cushion at the foot of the Guardians bed, who had now looked over to his fellow Guardian, who was still under a life support spell that a unicorn was conjuring beside their bed. "When will Jack be up?" The Guardian asked.

"He may never be, the wounds he endured were much more than yours. By far." The Guardian nodded. Then he held out a hand to Celestia. "Name's Jonothan." Celesita took Jonothan's hand with her hoof and gave a quick shake. "Princess Celestia."

"Well, princess. I believe this is the start of a... Friendship."

For many years after, the citizens of Equestria and the Guardians were allies. But when the Darkness was introduced to the Guardians, all trade stopped between the two worlds. Celestia, fearing the worst for her allies. As the Equestrian's had no way to go to their aid. That was, until the Five landed. The lives of everyone in Equestria. And on the planet was about to change... For better or worse.
