In the dead of the night, at the top of the Canterlot astronomy tower, a pony is about to make a amazing discovery. Little does she know that this will not only change her life, but the future of everything they know.

"Celestia, come quick!" the pony yelled, gaining the solar alicorn's attention, "I'm almost done." The pony kept tinkering with her telescope, making last minute adjustments.

"Please, do be careful," Celestia said, "Using magic to augment the telescope so you can teleport yourself to the moon is very dangerous, my student. If something were to happen to you, Flash Sentry would kill me!" The two shared a chuckle.

"No," the pony said calmly, "Mom would most likely do far worse."

"Touche," Celestia exclaimed as the telescope was aimed at the moon, "Is it ready?"

"Yes, but it might take a minute. Once my body energy is in the telescope, it will take a good ten seconds before it shoots me to the designated target." She takes a deep breath, and she ignites her horn with aqua colored magic, "Well, here goes nothing!" Her body then turned into a white blob of energy, and entered the telescope.

However, as the telescope began charging, the tower began shaking. Celestia face was that of worry.

"An earthquake?" Celestia yelled, "Now!"

As she said that, several books along the walls fell, knocking the telescope... and pointing it away from the moon.

"NO!!!"

But Celestia was too late. The telescope fired the pony, launching past the moon, into the great beyond of stars. Celestia stared at the vast darkness, and could only form one sentence among her panic, "Twilight's gonna murder me."

The pony expected to land on the moon, but, before she was launched, her whole world shook. Then, she saw the moon past by her. Wait, what happened, why am I going through nothing? Did something go wrong? She didn't have much time to think about it, as the stars she knew quickly passed by, and she was in total darkness. She knew, based on how fast the moon past her, that she was easily going hundreds of times past sonic rainboom speeds. She had know idea where she was goin~ Wait, she saw another set of star, all in a strange whirlpool shape.

Before she knew it, she was slammed into a small area of metal. Her body reformed instantly upon entering, so she could get a sense of her surroundings. But, before she knew what was happening, something behind her yelled something. She turned around, and saw a very unusual creature.

Before she could respond, it pointed some form of device at her. Based on the shape of it, it must of been some form of weapon. Sweating, she could only think of one thought. Why do these things happen to me?

Author's Note

I must give you a heads up that my I haven't played Mass Effect 1 in a long time, so I may get some dialogue wrong. Don't worry, the basic knowledge of what happens, as well as plenty of minor things. Also, Shepard will be male soldier, spacer, and war hero, and will have the standard face that you get. Unfortunately, if you are hoping for good description on people and what not, you're out of luck. I suck at describing people so, until I get better, you'll have to deal with pictures.
