Lost in Equestria

Back in Fort Ripper, General Campbell looked out his window from his office. The sky is very clear and not a cloud is in sight. The base has now been using the CB Radios since the whole thing started, it’s a good thing the base has keep it in case of any ‘worse case scenarios’ they won’t see coming. But still doesn’t explain what just happened.

“General Campbell sir.” One of the technicians said.

“What is it Jenkins?” he asked.

“One of our scouts has returned back to base sir….But…”

“But what?”

“According to the reports they claim there’s landscapes that doesn’t appear to be our world.”

“What do you mean?”

“The pilots claimed they saw what appears to be a castle in the mountains.”

“A castle?” He asked

“Yes sir, a castle, probably a citadel.”

“Any pictures of them?”

“Yes sir, got them right here.” He said as he gives Campbell the file and he sets it down on his desk and opens it. He saw the reports from the pilots of Scout 1 and 2 along with photographs taken from the chopper’s camera and they show them approaching the mountain with the castle within range and the next photos shows full view of the citadel in different angles.

“My god..” Campbell said softly to himself. “This wasn’t here before.” He turns to the technician. “Anything else?”

“No sir, this is all the info we have.”

“Very well, you may leave.” And with it the technician leaves the office, Campbell sat back down onto his chair, stunned by this new info. The photos are proof that they’re not in their world. How did this happened he wondered and how would they get back?

                                                           ---------------------

“Seriously? There’s ponies.” Dunn said.

“Are you sure? We must be seeing things.” Said another.

“I’m telling you, something’s strange is going on here.” Allen replied.

“The guard up front saw what appeared to be a chariot flying over them along with colorful ponies in the back of the truck.” He stated. “And the Pink one waved at them.” The one soldier Allen, Stone and Dunn are speaking to is Corporal Robert Jacobs.

“It’s very strange.” Stone added. “The question is….how did we get here?”

“Hell if I would know.” Allen said. Then Sergeant Foley comes in the barracks with Princess Celestia and the six ponies following him.

“I’m guessing this is where you keep the barracks?” The Alicorn Princess stated as she follows Foley.

“Yep. Never knew you’re familiar with our barracks.” Foley replied.

“Not really, we have barracks for those who serve as Royal Guards for the kingdom.” She mentioned.

“Oh, well that’s good to hear that.” The soldiers in the barracks stood in shock and awe from the site of the six colorful ponies, a filly, a baby dragon and the Alicorn princess. “And this is where Delta Company stays.”

“Delta Company?” Applejack asked confused.

“Well yes, we have different companies in the US Army, it’s the only way to keep track of which company the soldier are in.”

“Oh..” Twilight said. “Interesting..”

“See? That’s not an illusion.” Stone said in a hushed tone as he, Allen, Jacobs and Dunn hid behind several soldiers.

“What the hell’s gone on here Alex?” Whispered Dunn, he never saw anything like it before. He has known that Alicorns are in mythology.

“Didn’t I tell you? Something’s not right here.”

“Where in a world that seems to belong to a little girl’s fantasy.” Allen added.

“If what you said it’s true, then how the hell did we get here?” Dunn whispered.

“I don’t know, but we need to find out more about the ‘ponies’.”

“You don’t need to hide from our presence.” The Alicorn Princess spoke, obviously aware of four soldiers hiding behind the crowd. This has started them that she must’ve been listening to their conversation with super hearing.

How does she know what we’re saying?” Dunn said still using the hushed tone.

“There’s no need to be afraid, I assure you won’t be harmed.” She said again. The four are relaxed by her calm and regal voice as if she means it. But one of them needs to take a peek just to be sure. Dunn slowly stands up from behind the crowd with his head poking out.

“Really?” Dunn asked in a nervous tone.

“I’m very kind and nothing will happen to you.” She replied with a warm smile. Her smile was very relaxing and heartwarming.  Slowly one-by-one the others came out from behind and approached her and the ponies.

“I’m Princess Celestia and you’re in the land of Equestria which I rule.” She explained to the now calm soldiers.

“I’m Corporal Robert Jacobs.” Jacobs introduced himself.  “I…I never thought I would see an Alicorn in reality.”

“Well I’m real to you as well as everypony.” She replied.

Jacobs couldn’t help but gaze in awe at the Alicorn Princess; he has never imagined a rare species with such great beauty. Her mane flowing free and sparkling even though there’s no wind blowing. Her white coat somehow matches her in some way and her eyes and smile is not only alluring but warmly.

“There’s something wrong?” Celestia asked, snapping him out of his trance. Jacobs realized what he was doing and his cheeks flushed.

“Um…I…” He stuttered as she moves closer. Her head tilted sideways in curiosity.

“Actually Princess…I never met or imagine an Alicorn like yourself to be so….beautiful.” He finished and his cheeks are red from embarrassment. Celestia’s cheeks were pink and give a warm smile.

“Why thank you Robert. It’s very kind of you to say that.” She replied.

Then Twilight steps forwards. “I’m Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia’s number one student. And this is Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.” She said as her friends waved their hooves to them with the exception of Fluttershy who hid her face behind her pink mane.

“Don’t mind Fluttershy, she’s very shy…” She added.

“We don’t mind.”  Allen stated. “I think it really fits her name, it sounds so cute..” He smiles, Fluttershy peaks out from behind her mane, nopony has given her a compliment like that. She cracks a little smile.

“Why thank you…..Allen is it?” She said softly.

“You can call me Randy.” Allen replied.

“Thank you Randy.” She grins, a little ‘squee’ noise is heard when she grinned. Allen let out a goofy smile and his cheeks flushed when he heard it.

“I’m glad that you’re very comfortable now that we got to know each other.” The Princess stated.

“Right.” Foley said. “Shall we continue the tour? We can head to the lab and visit the top scientist there.”

“Sure, hopefully we’ll get some answers for all of this.” Celestia stated as he lead them out. Fluttershy looked back and smiled cutely at Allen before leaving.

“I think she likes you Randy.” Stone stated.

“Well she is very cute.” Allen replied. “I’ve never seen someone with her personality.”

“You like her, don’t you?” Stone teased, earning him an elbow in a stomach.

“Who wouldn’t like her?” he replied. “She is cute. I mean Robert here made a sweet comment to the princess.” He smiles as Robert blushed with embarrassment.

“Hey! I wasn’t expected the Alicorn has so much beauty!” He protested while hiding his blushing face.

“Oh come on Robert, we’re just teasing you.” Alex smiled. “Although there’s something about her that made me feel all…fuzzy.” He added.

“Now that you’ve mentioned it, she does give a warm feeling.” Allen said. “It’s very strange coming from and Alicorn.”

“Well Celestia is Latin for ‘Heaven’.” Robert pointed out; he has learned Latin, Spanish and French since High School. He’s also taken classes to learn languages like Russian, Japanese and German as well as Chinese. But since the relations between the United States and China broke off he never finished the course.

“Well, that explains it.” Randy added realizing the connection between the princess’ name and the meaning.

“You can say that again.” Said a voice, the voice belong to one of the soldiers in the battalion, Jace Washington. An African-American in his early twenties, he was enlisted into the US Army after serious of offenses on the streets of Los Angeles and chose Army enlistment over jail time. His life is tough, after his parents died in a car accident when he was nine years old and placed in an orphanage. At the age of eleven he ran way and ended up on the streets doing anything he can to survive ‘til he was finally found and taken back to the orphanage. At the age of 19 he has caused some trouble with the Los Angeles Police Department and continue so for a couple of years ‘til one day he was caught in part of the jewel heist and is arrested. The judge offers to drop the charges if he is enlisted to the United States Army, hoping that strict rules will straighten him out.

“I mean I’ve seen some weird shit lately but this is just so weird that it made the Twilight Zone look sane.” Jace continued.

“I’m pretty sure once we figure this mess out we’ll be able to get home to our world.” Jacobs replied.

                                                              ---------------------

“Ponies you say?” The Police Chief asked. He has never heard anything so crazy before. “Are you sure that’s what you saw?”

“Yes chief.” Jack Carlson replied. “I think we’re in an alternate dimension. I don’t know how we got here but somehow we managed to travel to this world.” He didn’t know what to think of the whole thing as it’s very bizarre. He thinks back and tries to figure out how did it all happen. Then he remembered the green orb that appeared in the middle of the town. Could it be that may have caused the town to be transported into this world of ponies?

“How’s the citizens here?” He asked.

“They’re doing fine so far, despite no wi-fi connections.” The chief replied.

“We can’t tell them about all of this as it’ll may cause confusion and panic.”

“No we cannot. Who knows how they would react. The green orb has caused confusion at it is.”

“So what are you suggesting?”

“I say we close roads to the outside ‘til further notice. We can’t let anyone leave ‘til we find a way to explain it to them.”

“Well….alright then. We’ll do that.” Carlson turned and was about to leave when he was stopped.

“What do you think we should tell them?” The Chief asked.

“We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.” Carlson replied and leaves. Hopefully it’ll be good to get one quickly before anyone gets wind of what’s going on…

                                                              ---------------------

“And this is the laboratory.” Foley said as they enter through the hallway and stopped in front of a couple of doors.

“Is there were you do all the research?” Twilight asked.

“Yep.”

“So you practice like magic spells?”

“Not really Twilight,” He replied. “But just ways from improving the military or civil life.”

“Oh. Well that sounds good.” She smiled.

“And we’ll ask Dr. Kennedy. He’s the head of the science team here.” They enter through the doors and they see a small group at one of the tables, muttering about something. They haven’t noticed the ponies approaching them let alone coming in through the doors.

“Alright I don’t know what has happened.” One of the scientists said.

“Well it could be possible.” Said another.

“But is it? We can’t be sure if the experiment has caused this.” Another said.

“Um…What are you talking about?” Twilight asked.

“What is this, no one is..” One of the scientists said as he turned around and saw the ponies up close. He screamed as he jumped backwards, knocking down the table and he stumbled over it onto the floor. The other scientists stumbled back in shock, taken completely by surprise.

But of course the ponies expected this since they’re from a different world.

“Calm Down Doctor Kennedy.” Foley said as he helped him off the floor and onto his feet. “Before you ask, they’re ponies.”

“Ponies? But that’s impossible.”

“Well believe it or not, they’re real…Well real in this world.”

“I…I just don’t understand this.”

“Well from what Foley’s been telling me, it appears you somehow managed to transport your entire facility from your world to ours.” Princess Celestia explained.

“World? Travel?” Doctor Kennedy puzzled over what the Alicorn Princess has said. He sat down on the chair and pondered last night’s even. He remember how the lightning had hit the tower and shot up a beam of light into the sky and came back down and formed a green bulb that engulfed the entire base.

“I don’t understand…” He muttered. “How could the green orb sent us here?...Unless…” Then he rose his head up and his eyes begin to widen…

“Um…Are you ok?” Twilight asked.

“No…No it can’t. It can’t be possible!” He shouted as he tried to get up from the chair only to fall onto the floor in shock. Shock from what his mind’s going through as he realizes the green orb and transporting into an alternate dimension seems to connect. Fortunally Celestia caught him with her magic.

“Doctor Kennedy, are you alright?” Celestia asked, now she and the ponies are concerned about his behavior.

“How could I be so careless?” He said to himself.

“Doctor please, you’re making us worried.” Twilight said, trying to calm him down.

A couple of minutes have passed and Doctor Kennedy has finally got his senses together.

“I think I know how we got here.”  He breathed deeply before getting up and heads towards one of the chalkboards and begins drawing a diagram of the tower and tons of algebra numbers and letters that let the ponies confused.

What is he’s doing they wondered. They don’t know if he’s going to explain it how it happened or not. The only thing they have to do is to wait until he speaks.

“OK. Here’s the diagram of the tower me and my staff have been working on.” He said as the ponies gathered around to listen to what he has to say.

“The Tower we’ve been working on is an experiment 1.55 Gigawatt to power the tower designed to further study on lighting bolts in order to find a way to protect electrical lines and power stations from lighting storms. It is equipped with a photonic generator and fission batteries capable of taking 1.21 Gigawatt from lighting bolts.”

“So what happened?” Twilight asked.

“When the lighting bolt hit the tower, it overloaded the photonic generator and shorted out the fission batteries as it jumped over 1.21 Gigawatts into over 2.00 Gigawatts and tore a hole in the space time continuum in between parallel dimensions. In other words, the green orb is what brought us here.” He sits back down on the chair again and cupped his hands over his face. “I don’t know how I’d let this happened.”

The ponies felt sorry for him and one of them, Fluttershy has approached him and nuzzles against his hand. He uncovers his face to find a smiling Pegasus with beautiful aqua-green eyes.

“It’s OK, you don’t have to be hard on yourself.” She said softly.

“Yeah,” Applejack charmed in. “Y’all don’t have to buck yourself for lettin’ this happen.”

“I’m pretty sure we’ll find a way to get you back home, right Princess?” Twilight as she turned towards Celestia.

“Indeed Twilight, Canterlot has top scientists that’ll be glad to help you. And Twilight…” Celestia turns towards her student.

“You can help out too.”

“Thanks Princess. I’m more happy to help out.”

“Well….Thank you..” Kennedy said.

                                                              ---------------------

“I’m glad you’re agreeing to help us get back to our world.” Anderson said as the princess and the ponies leave the building.

“It’s very delighted to get to know you.” Celestia smiled. “Plus we’re more delighted to hear more about the history of your civilization.”

“I’m sure you will. You’ll be amazed.”

“I’ll be heading to Ponyville before I return to Canterlot to notify the ponies that you’re no harm.”

“Sounds good, it’ll be wonderful to have to ponies not be afraid of us.”

“After I’m finished speaking with them, they’ll feel at ease around you.”  She turns to Jacobs. “And you, I find you very interesting.”

“Oh, well…Thanks.” Jacobs responded. “I mean, in our world, your name, Celestia is in fact Latin for Heaven.” He gives a smile.

“Really? That’s very thoughtful and kind of you.” She lets out a small giggle. And cute too she thought to herself.

And with it the Princess heads to her royal chariot and leaves the base. The human soldiers and the ponies watched and waved as the Princess’ chariot flies away out of sight.

“So…..Now what?” Rarity asked.

“Ah guess we should be headin’ back home.” Applejack replied. “Besides, Ah need to get Applebloom back to the farm.”

“Aw! Can’t ah stay with them!” Applebloom whined.

“Sorry little sis, Granny Smith will be wonderin’ where we are.”

“Aw..Ah’right.”

“It’s great to meet all of you.” Rarity said.

“Um…Yeah..” Fluttershy said softly.

“It’s good to see you too.” Foley said. “Shall we head to the trucks and back to town?”

And with it, the ponies and the dragon have jumped into the back of the army truck and they took off back to Ponyville.

“You really went overboard on that Robby.” Stone said to Jacobs whose face is beginning to flush.

“Well it’s true.” Jacob protest.

“Aw come on Jacobs, I think you have a crush on her.”

                                                              ---------------------

As they arrived they noticed a huge crowd of ponies are gathering in the town square in front of city hall. They hopped off from the trucks and trotted towards the crowd. The soldiers who have noticed this watched from a distance so they don’t scare anypony. But since that the ponies’ attentions are faced towards the podium this wasn’t a problem and they managed to get closer whatever chance they get.

“The princess is here to tell us about something.” One of the ponies from the crowd said.

“I think it’s something about those strange creatures.” Said another while holding her filly close. Then Mayor Mare appeared at the podium.

“Citizens of Ponyville,” Mayor Mare said to the crowd. “Our beloved leader, Princess Celestia has something very important to tell you.” And then she steps down and the Alicorn Princess steps up.

“My Little Ponies.” She began. “As I’ve noticed that these strange interdimensional creatures called ‘humans’ have arrived to our Kingdom.” The ponies are worried but they listened closely.

“But I assure you that these ‘humans’ are not a threat to us. In fact, I visited their base of command and they’re very friendly.” Her cheeks flushed as she remembers the compliments from Jacobs about her looks and name before continuing.

“And they’re just misplaced in our world and are looking for a way to find their way back to their world. So don’t be afraid of them, welcome them to the Kingdom of Equestria and show them around ‘til they find a way back home. That is all.”

Everypony applaud as the princess leaves the podium, including Twilight and her friends.

“I’m glad she convinced everypony that the humans are friends.” Twilight smiled.

“Yeah. This is awesome.” Spike added.

“Indeed Spike.” Rarity added. “I wonder if they have the same taste for fashion.”

“This is gonna be super-duper!” Pinkie hopped with excitement. “This calls for the Welcome-to-Equestria-misplaced-humans Party!” She smiles very big.

“This is so awesome.” Applebloom chimed in. “Ah get to have human friends.” Then suddenly two fillies rushed up to her. One filly is a white unicorn with a white fur coat and green eyes. Her mane and tail were swirly and multi-colored with grayish tones of pink and lavender. The other is a Pegasus with an orange fur coat and light purple eyes and a purple mane and tail.

“Hey Applebloom!” They said in unison.

“Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle.” She said excited.

“Where have you been all day?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Ah was with the humans at their military base.” Applebloom answered.

“Whoa.” Scootaloo exclaimed.

“Ah know.” She smiles big.

“I wonder what they look like.”

“Look over there!” Somepony shouted and everypony’s attention is turned towards a group of soldiers who are standing from a distance.

“It’s the humans!” And they all galloped towards them and the soldiers found themselves surrounded by a bunch of ponies. But they all have curious-looks on their faces and begin asking them questions.

“ I guess we’re getting a warm welcome?” One of the soldiers said over the crowd.

Then suddenly they see three fillies making their way through the crowd and are staring up to them with gleaming looks in their eyes.

“See...These are humans.” Applebloom said to her friends.

In the back of the crowd, Lyra bounced up and down trying to see over the crowd.

“I see them Bon-Bon.” Lyra said as she continued hopping.

“Lyra! Cut that out!” Bon-Bon said and the mint-green unicorn stopped.

“But I can’t get to them!” She whined.

“What’s gotten into you Lyra?”

“It’s very important.” Then the unicorn trots around the crowd trying to find a way though. Bon-Bon sighed.

                                                          ---------------------

In the forest, Seventh Wave terrorists managed to make their way back to their base. Never have they seen anything like it. Wolves made entirely out of wood, lizards with chicken heads turn others into stone just by staring at them, it’s all too strange. But on the bright side they managed to find tons of strange crystals in a cave. They look unusual as they glow green and are grown from a ground like a plant. But there’s something else that bothered them. How did they get here? Last night everyone was on guard in all posts and suddenly a green orb came from the sky and swallowed the entire base whole.

The leader sits in his chair staring out the window. Beyond the base’s outposts lies the forest, he has received reports in CB communications that they’ve encountered some creatures and most of them are lost. And not only that the discovery of strange crystals and are heading back.

He watched them arrive at the gate and headed in. One of them came to the front door and knocked. He came in and approached him. He spoke in Russian to him, telling him about their discovery.

“Speak English.” The leader said, but the accent he had used isn’t Russian or Islamic….But American. And American leading the Seventh Wave terrorist group in the world?

“I’m sorry.” He said in English. “I’m here to tell you that the location of that cave is secured and we’re beginning to set an outpost to it.”

“Good.” The leader replied. “I want few outposts around the five mile radius of this base. Whatever happened I doubt this is our world.”

“Right away. But sir, what about ammunition and food? We could run out.”

“Are you doubting the Seventh Wave?” He said with a stern tone in his voice. “This base used to belong to the USSR before it was abandoned and forgotten. And we have enough food, water, ammo and clothing to last us for a decade.”

He moves from behind the desk and into the soldier’s face.

“I will not have any doubt in this organization. Do you understand?”

“Y..Yes sir!” The soldier said nervously.

“Good, now get outta my sight.”

And with it the soldier leaves and the leader sits down on the desk chair.

“Russians…” He muttered……
