From the Stars

A group of strange new creatures fall from the night sky, in metal tubes, and lands on Equestria. They look weird and don't look peaceful, but are they the only hope against a far greater threat?

For Lt. Blanco and his company, the mission was suppose to be a simple operation. Drop down on the planet's surface, protect the scientist while he investigates the strange energy signatures, then get out. How was he to expect that he will end up with a first contact situation?
