Screwed

Equestria, a world filled with many wonderful and whimsical beings, predominantly ponies, is paradise. Peace reigns over thanks to its Princesses, and the protecters being the Elements of Harmony, no 'harm'(ony, hehe) could come to them. If some strange being was foolhardy enough to invade this land of prosperity, then they were surely and quickly shown out by the Elements.

Having Goddesses in control of the Sun and Moon was always a good bartering chip, too.

However our story isn't about any one of these; no, it is about two humans who were misfortunate enough to enter the interdimensional broom closet (presumably owned by a higher being), and thus fell into this world against their will. Well, one of them didn't want to at least.

In the blue skies, without a cloud in sight (they weren't scheduled for another three days), a strange black object fell from the endless blue. It was emitting a strange noise, almost like a scream, mixed with an extremely elongated expletive. Ah, yes, this was the one who grabbed his friend and ran into that light. What was his name? Rob Gerand. After a while of freefall, the human hit the ground with a thud.

"Ow. OW. OW!" Rob clutched his chest with his free hand, after rolling over onto his back. "That is definitely a broken rib. Fo' sho." He groaned. The last time he'd broken a bone (let alone a rib) was back when he played rugby last season, and had literally just been given the "Ok, you're 100%. Get outta my hospital," talk. That was just his nose though, and he'd already broken it like three times prior, so the nerve endings were probably nonexistent by that point, so it didn't hurt. But this, this hurt like hell.

He stumbled to his feet, feeling horribly unbalanced. Noticing his surroundings through bleary eyes, Rob took note of the grassy open field, forest in the distance, and small village somewhere in between. He was stuck in the field, the colourful village some kilometres ahead. Shrugging his shoulders, he figured there was probably a completely rational explanation as to why he went from a damp super-closet to vibrant colour land in 10 seconds flat.

He just... Had to figure it out.

Rob checked his body for any other damages to his person before beginning the trudge to the small tiny village. Arms still there, Legs still present (but really weak??), Orange glowing hands and thighs, check.

Hold up. That's not supposed to glow. Nor are they. Grabbing his thigh with his orange beacon-y hands, he moved the waist band of his school trousers down slightly to inspect, and sure enough, the sides of his thighs were glowing a bright orange, as were his hands, and it didn't show signs of dissipating. In fact, the light seemed only to intensify.

Before long, Rob noticed his vision was starting to tint that same orange colour, and noticed his collar bone was glowing, thanks to the reflection of his phone's screen. He shrugged again. There was probably a completely rational... Nah. This shit was just so weird. He tried to walk, only to find his legs rooted to the spot. Rob clicked his tongue as he felt a cold shiver run down his back. It wasn't unpleasant, again, just weird. The boy started to panic, it wasn't normal, whatever was happening. He abandoned all hopes of finding a rational explanation, especially when an electric shock like sensation went through his body, and said feeling was soon replaced by unimaginable pain.

Rob stood still, barely tolerating the pain. After a minute, it intensified, and he knew it was too much. Rob let out a blood curdling scream that could be heard from miles away...

The group of mares continued their walk down the pathway, stopping off at every house or so to meet and greet the ponies. Though she didn't like it, some still insisted on bowing down to Twilight, and it was beginning to wear on her patience. As much as they all hated to admit it, things had been awfully boring recently, with the same in-out routine everyday, without much excitement in between. Even Pinkie was running out of things to do, but she randomly said those things earlier. Maybe something was going to happen.

It was then, that Rarity realised the town was silent. Which almost NEVER happened. Unless she was looking particularly stylish or something, but it was Applejack that pointed the problem out first.

"What the? Well hey, girls, look over there? What in Tartarus is that?!" She lifted her hat with a foreleg to get a better look, and with all her friends doing the same, she stared at the wide pillar of orange light just in the fields outside of Ponyville. They all stood mouths agape at the spectacle.

Fluttershy, who was just behind them squealed, and the other five marks spun around and noticed a new offending source of light. Like the orange pillar, this one was large, and relatively close to town, however, it's location was almost directly opposite the first beam, and was located in the Everfree Forest. It's glow was a dark and fluorescent green. After a few minutes, the two lights began to fade and eventually disappear leaving a stunned silent town population. Twilight set her jaw. As protectors, they had a duty to find out what caused these phenomenon.

"Alright girls, looks like we need to search and find what caused those two lights. We will split into two groups, Rarity, Flutters and Applejack will go search the Everfree Forest. Myself, Rainbow and Pinkie will go scout the fields. We'll all meet up at the library later to discuss our findings. Everypony understand?"The group smiled at her, Pinkie gave a mock salute, Rainbow Dash flexed her wings and Rarity sighed at the prospect of getting mud on her pristine coat. "All right. Let's go!" The group of six split into the separate groups and set off for their destinations at full speed (though slightly less than full speed for one pegasus because she's too damn fast.)

Galloping out of Ponyville, Twilight and her two friends Pinkie and Rainbow Dash both set off for the approximate location of the first light beam. Passing through the outskirts and eventually into the open fields, Twilight noticed the electrifying and foreign energy in the area, sending chills down her spine. She couldn't tell if it was evil per se, but it certainly was cold, like an icecube was on top of her horn. Pinkie noticed her discomfort.

"Hey Twilight what's got you frowning? Are you sad? Are you angry? Was it me? Did I do something wrong? Ooh, ooh, was it Dashie? Did she u-" She was interrupted by a cyan hoof placed in her mouth, causing her incessant questions to become merely muffled disturbingly moist noises.

"Put a hoof in it, Pinkie, Twi is just concentrating on finding the source, so shut it!" Rainbow rolled her eyes at what she assumed was the mumble translation of "Okie-Dokie-Lokie."

After around ten minutes more of galloping/bouncing/gliding, the three mares ground to a halt. Twilight found the foreign energy to be astoundingly strong, especially when it seemed to just radiate from the unconscious orange mare in front of them. The Three shivered, two of them weren't even unicorns and they could feel the strange sensation.

"Pinkie? Have you ever seen this mare in Ponyville before?" Twilight enquired. Pinkie beamed at her and shook her head, knowing that she'd now have to throw a welcoming party for her. "Dash, can you carry her back to Ponyville? I don't think Pinkie is strong enough, and I need to run some tests while you do."

"Can do, Twi! One Rainbow Dash ambulance at your service!" True to her name, Rainbow dashed over to the orange pegasus and hoisted her onto her back. Upon closer inspection, the mare had a cutie mark resembling a lighter orange arrow bursting through a cloud on her flank. It certainly wasn't one that she'd seen before. And her mane, a pale blue with streaks of darker blues, was messy, sort of like hers, but almost like it was spiked up in some places? "Where are we taking her?" Rainbow said as she shifted the new weight to get comfortable.

"The Library, of course. We're meeting everyone there, after all."
