//-------------------------------------------------------// In the void -by themicah7777- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Two souls stranded //-------------------------------------------------------// Two souls stranded No pony really knows what space is like better then Luna. After all nopony but her has ever been to space. Many would love to go to space, not her. She didn't choose to be trapped on the moon for a thousand years! "Its all her fault! Why did she send us here, what did we do besides try and show our ponys how great our moon is?" Luna screamed in anger, but nopony heard, not even her. There is no sound in space. She would rather be asleep right now but she had been sleeping so long that she now grew tired of it. Her gaze turns upward out into the distant void, as her eyes rest upon a metallic object the about a foot or two taller then herself. She had nothing better to do so she stare at it in the distance as it approached the planet to her back. "With any luck it will hit my sisters bed chambers when it gets close enough to enter the atmosphere" she whispered to herself. As the object grew closer  She noticed it was shaped more like a minotaur made of a green metal. A voice in the back of her head made itself known to her. "Its alive, perhaps it could help us to break free." the voice of the one that had gotten her sent to the moon in the first place. "Leave us be monster! We do not wish to hear your lies." Luna snapped "Looks like the little princess doesn't trust me. why don't you check for yourself then?" was all that was her reply as the voice disappeared. Luna normally wouldn't pay Nightmare Moon any mind, but curiosity was pulling on her mind. She reached out with her magic to the object to confirm if she what Nightmare had said. She nearly gasped as she felt life in the object. It was distant however, as if it was dwindling between life and death. She decided to try and use him to escape the prison that is her moon. She reached out with her magic and pulled the object towards her, planning to use it to sling shot herself away from both the moon and Nightmare Moon. /*****/ Allen drifted through the voids of space space, a large metal strut stuck threw part of the torso of his power armor. He could feel himself grow tired as life slipped away from him. as he drifted he looked towards his destination, he could see a planet in the distance slowly growing larger in his vision. He watched the moon of the planet, as he was floating towards the planet hoping the moon would catch him. He knew his suit could handle the atmosphere but he didn't know what would be awaiting him once he hit the ground. He was lost from his fleet, a jump through a rift gate during maintenance of the hull, part of which now pierced through his abdomen like a shish kabob. "Fucking morons. Who opens a rift gate during maintenance?" he cursed within his helmet. as he drifted he suddenly felt a tingle run up his spine, as if the hand of a giant had gently grasped him. He tried to move but found he could not, he was picking up speed towards the planet. Panic began to set in as something large and dark blue, almost black rushed towards him from the moon as he rocketed to the planet. He let out a grunt as it latched on, he attempted to flail it off but he could not move. He decided to see how things would play out. /*****/ As the metallic being grew closer Luna began to feel her mind become clouded, it felt like long ago when NightmareMoon first took control of her. Her fur turned darker, the pupils of her eyes became slits. She flew towards the object latching on it attempted to resist, but was unable to get her off. It soon stopped struggling and remained motionless. "I don't know what you are, but you will be my ticket off that rock." NightmareMoon spoke to the metallic being as they rocketed to the planet. the moment they entered the atmosphere NightmareMoon release her magic grasp and the two separated.She descended towards a mountain with a large white structure built on the side. Allen suit was damaged but the needed pieces to survive the impact were still functional. He began to level out and was now looking straight down, a desert area right under him. Two small thrusters on each side of him attached to his thighs began to release timed bursts as he slowed his speed. He was close to the ground now and began to right him self to land on his feet. mere meters from the ground, the thrusters ignited to bring him to a slow fall. He touched the ground, as the thrusters died down. He felt the heat of the desert wind through the hole in his chest, he fell to his knees in pain. He knew he had to keep going, he had to get to some form of civilization. There would be medical aid of some kind, perhaps a way to get in contact with the NSC. He picked himself up and slowly walked in a single direction hoping the desert would not be as hostile as it could be to him. He walked for hours the heat starting to irritate his wounds. The piece of metal lodged in him becoming painfully hot from the constant rays of the sun. He could see a small tent in the distance, he approached slowly. There was no one around, he stood there wondering who would leave a tent in the middle of the desert. Who ever it was would be back, and he could go no further. He kneeled down on both legs unable to stay conscious any longer, his armor the only thing keeping him from falling forward. To any around him he would appear to a metal statue sitting in a meditative posture, really he had passed out from blood loss. He would surly die if someone didn't find him. But as fate would have it he was not alone, in the tent there was something peering out, watching him with large violet eyes. ****end of chapter 1
