Chapter 1: A Brief History

In the early days of the KSC not much of space has been explored. Getting into a stable orbit was hard at first but the Kerbals could were tough enough to do it, especially Jebediah.

Years later Kerbals finally had the technology to get to the Mun, even if it was hard they still managed somehow to do it, only recently, Kerbals have set up colonies on other planets and Moons (Like laythe) and much, much more of space has been discovered.

For a while Kerbals thought that they were the only ones out there, until a wormhole opened up near Minimus, which brought up new space exploration ships with crew brave enough to go through and see what is beyond the universe.

Please note that this story includes ponies but not right at the begining

Chapter 3: Weird 4 legged Creatures

Jebediah had his face smushed to the window in awe of the planet while Bill scanned the surface of the planet (Which the Kerbals called “Jeb’s Planet”) for intelligent life forms (With Radar and other equipment), Most of the readings didn’t seem like there was, but once they got closer and closer something seemed very wrong.

Twilight Sparkle was looking into the abyss with her fairly large telescope and looked for things strange in space, she saw many things that seemed normal exept for one.

A weird looking metal device which looked to have wings, “Oh my” said Twilight as she looked at the strange device,

“I better report this to the Princesses now!”

Meanwhile, Jebediah was piloting the ship, entering the atmosphere, Bill was worried because he just found intelligent life forms on the surface and he was paranoid that they would start war, but as usual Jeb and Bob took no notice and continued doing what they were doing.

Twilight sparkle quickly flew to Canterlot in a hurry to the castle, when she got there she peformed a spell which would cast a screen on a wall showing what she had saw. At first Celestia and Luna seemed very skeptical about what Twilight saw but Twilight proved that she was correct and cast the spell,

“Celestia! Luna! Look! I saw a huge flying Device flying in from space which imitates a Pegasus! Look!” Twilight said in a very paranoid voice whilst casting the spell.

Twilight was explaining what she saw and said that it was nothing like she saw before and then a huge rumble was heard outside, it was the space plane!

Jebediah was landing towards Ponyville and whilst he was flying, Twilight, Celestia and Luna looked at it with shock as it flew past Canterlot.

Celestia and Luna suddenly believed and went down to Ponyville to investigate.

SPOILERS! Twilight doesn't seem like Twilight in my story, Don't know why... I tried to capture her Paranoidness (I made that word up) but it seems that she has the personality of a conspiracy nut. Sorry

Chapter 6: Disaster Strikes

Back at Kerbin, the Ground crew Sends a message which says that the Black hole around Minimus had Swallowed Minimus and it’s probably Hurtling towards them.

The Crew gets this message and sees a giant Comet hurtling toward the planet.

“Uh oh!”

Says Jeb and all the Ponies Panic and run around the whole place.

Bill gets an idea to strap SRBS (Rocket Boosters) and use the plane to push Minmus away because it looks that it has lost most of it’s mass on the way though the black hole.

Jeb bravely gets into the ship and rendezvous next to Minimus and straps the SRBS to Minimus, and pushes with the ship too.

Will Jeb make it and save Equestria?

Chapter 7: Heroes' return

Jebediah Succesfully pushes back Minmus and puts it in a stable orbit so it does no harm.

Jeb creates another Moon for Equestria!

News spread about this and Celestia thanks the Kerbals for saving their lives! The Kerbals Return through the Blackhole and it closes shortly after.

Jebediah is remembered as a hero in Equestria and also a hero when he returns home.

The End.

Sorry about the short Chapter, I ran out of ideas. Sorry.

Chapter 2: Launch

Jebediah sat inside a large SSTO ship (called Cozmo Liner MK11) with Bob and Bill awaiting orders from the ground control,
5…..4……3……2…..1 Lift off! Jebediah and his crew were happy to launch! They were going to see boundaries of space and time and say goodbye to their home and learn if they are really the only ones out there.

When they approached the black hole a few days later, Jeb took many pictures and sent it to the ground team. They were about to become the first Kerbals to descend into a wormhole!

The ship arrived on the other side of the black hole and to their surprise they see a very similar planet to Kerbin but oddly enough, the planet seemed to be the center of the solar system.

Author's Note

SPOILERS! If you are an idiot or have no idea what's going on in the story the planet similar to Kerbin is actually Equestria.

Chapter 4: Weird 2 legged Beings

Chapter 4: Weird 2 legged Beings

Ponies from Ponyville were surrounding the Metal device, many ponies were wondering what it was,

“Maybe it’s a Transportingwhatamahusit” Suggested Applebloom,

“Maybe it’s an alien spacecraft” said Scootaloo,

“Yes indeed!” Said Twilight in a loud voice,

“It is?”
said everypony with shock.
Jebediah, Bob and Bill were scared to go outside so they played “Rocket Paper, Boom” (The Kerbal version of Rock Paper Scissors) Jebediah was elected to go outside so he opened the hatch slowly and walked out very scared.

“I come in peace!” Said Jebediah (In the Kerbal Language) and the crowd muttered

“Is that alien trying to communicate?”

Bill and Bob felt guilty leaving Jeb out there on his own so they came out of the SSTO and waved nervously. Bill was hyperventilating and Bob was crying with fear, the ponies were wondering what they were doing.

Sweetiebell walked up to the strange green men and asked them in fear,

“Will you invade Equestria and turn us into slaves?”

The Kerbals talked to each other and were debating if it was a question or something else so they nodded yes to Sweetiebell.

Sweetiebell was screaming and nearly fainted so the Kerbals were getting Pitchforked shortly after.

“WAAAAIIIIT!” Shouted Twilight,

“Maybe it was a misunderstanding”

Still, the citizens of Ponyville pitchforked.

Ditzy came up to the Kerbals and drew them a picture in order to communicate and surprising enough they knew what she meant! Ponies could communicate to Kerbals by drawing! Ditzy Wrote "Will you actually invade us?" and the Kerbals shooked their heads saying No that they wouldn't destroy or invade Equestria.

I'm not the best at Grammar.

Chapter 5: Their Purpose

The Kerbals Looked around in their Spacecraft and found a universal translater to translate what the ponies were saying and translate what they were saying into their language.

“Hello, My name is Jebediah and I come in peace” Said Jebediah.

The Ponies Immediately knew what he said and found out that these two legged green men were actually doing.

“We came to your planet using this spacecraft from our planet, Kerbin. We are in search of a new planet to ally with and/or live on.”

The crowd muttered and Twilight Stood up and asked a question

“How in Equestria does this device work?”

Jebediah shrugged and gave the translator to Bill (The scientist of the crew)

“Well Uh, It burns liquid hydrogen and air which blasts out the back producing Uhmm movement. And it gets into space by using Liquid Hydrogen in the atomic motors by passing it through a Nuclear Reactor”

Said Bill. Everypony was confused and even Twilight had no idea what he meant. So Twilight Had a look at all the pieces inside.

“No Magic?” Said Twilight with Confusion,

“Magic?” Said Bill, “Magic doesn’t uh… Exist.”

He said. Twilight had figured out that these beings advanced without the aid of magic, which shocked her a lot!

Twilight also realised that these aliens got through a black hole very close to the planet, which happened today.

The Kerbals brought lots of equipment inside the spacecraft and drove them out of the ship carefully.

Bill explained that they were using these machines to build and set up houses by cutting trees down and building them with giant arms. There was another machine which looked a bit like a Chariot, but Bill explained it was a mode of transport used to scan areas for Precious minerals and simply move around, he also explained that they cancelled those missions because sentient beings (The Ponies) would probably fight back and cause war against them.

Whoops, I totally forgot to put in the fact that the Kerbals were in Awe of the magic. Nevermind
