A Journey Across

Book 1 - A Journey Across

Chapter 6 - Unleashed

If you walked up to sugarcube corner this morning, the first thing you would notice is the thing that hang on the door. The blood was dripping on the doorstep, still somewhat fresh. Looking up from the blood you will see what remained of queen Chrysalis.

Her body had been mutilated and then nailed on the door frame. Even that was not the most horrible thing about this, it was the look on Chrysalis' face. The horror had been carved deep into her eyes, still open like her mozzle as if she had lived through what her body had to endure, even though most of the wounds would kill anypony instantly. A silent scream was coming from her body.

If you walked up to sugarcube corner this morning, the first thought you would have would be, "Atleast her suffering was ended."

One pony in the group, staring up at the result of something horrible, suggested, one may inform Twilight but noone really listened, so she ran off herself as fast as possible.

Twilight stood infront of the two visitors, quite nervous she asked, "So, what brought you here?"

The little green one responded first, "Well, my ship kinda crashed here and I met your friend. She told me you could help me repair it." He made himself comfortable as possible, "It needs some tape and fuel. And maybe a welder, but that one is optional."

Twilight gave him a puzzled look and turned to the other visitors, "Errr, so what is your story?" Hope these are not insane, she thought.

"Well hello. I am the doctor, this is my companion Rose. We came here in my TARDIS" - Twilights puzzled look transformed into confusion - "... TARDIS stands for 'Time and Relative Dimension in Space', it is a timemachine that can also travel in space. Something went wrong were we came from, so we had to flee our universe," while he talking he constantly walked around the room, searching for a chair of any sorts, "You have any form of seat here?"

Twilight was now officialy confused, nothing these things said made sense for her. The so called doctor and his companion were definitly humans, but they looked different than the 'Equestria High' humans. She made a mental note to do extensive studies about this. Before she could answer, which took her 10 seconds from now, she was interrupted by the doctor's companion.

"I have a question", asked Rose, "why did this pink ho... pony knew my name and who the doctor is? We are from a parallel universe, she should know nothing." Like a poker player with the ultimate cards on his hand, she had uncovered the logical error that meant all this would be a dream.

Twilight stepped around nervously while thinking for an answer, "Well, we don't know exactly why Pinkie Pie knows the things Pinkie Pie knows. She has this weird 'Pinkie Sense', which allows her to see into the future a bit but I don't know how it works." Embarassed to admit that she didn't know anything about something, she blushed.

The little astronaut, that called himself Jeb, ran out of patience, "Hello? Can anyone care for me? I'm stranded here. Just give me some tape and fuel, then I am out of here."

The princess of friendship was now cornered. She took a deep breath, "We don't have any of these things you are asking for. Maybe the doctor can help you."

Jeb turned to the doctor, with a big question mark in his face, almost demanding an answer, "Well?"

The doctor asked, "What do you need exactly? Could I and Rose help with the repairs?"

Rose gave him a offended look, "You always assume I would help. Isn't there anything else I could do?"

While the doctor gave Rose a quick annoyed stare, Jeb had gathered his thoughts, "At first I need power to boot up all the systems. Second, a bit of tape and a welder to fix the wing and the fuel pump, both have been almost torn out. Third, about 80 tons of HydrOxy, a few extra maybe or testing. If it works out, we need to get a Antimatter bomb with an reaction mass of 1.2 tons. Let me think. Yeah, that is it."

Even Rose understood the last part, as she and the doctor simultaneous stared at jeb with open mouths. The doctor itself was not only suprised but also worried. After both of them didn't answer for a few seconds the little green Astronaut asked, "What's wrong?"

At the exact moment Twilight was ready to start laughing out, the doors burst open. A yellowish pony with purple and blue hair stormed into the room. She broke down in the middle of the room, panting her lungs out.

After a short time she gathered herself and stumbled towards Twilight, "We need your help, Twilight. It is urgent."

Still quite in a shock, Twilight asked, "What is the problem?" The mare seemed to have run here from the other end of ponyville without pause.

"It is queen chrysalis. She is dead. " - she took a short pause to inhale loudly - "She was nailed on the door of sugarcube corner. It is horrible." After that being said, she broke down and fainted.

The whole room was silent for two minutes. The first one to speak was the doctor, "I guess this is not good."
