Author's Note

Sorry for the short chapter, but this one was to have the ponies get more 'acquainted' with their alien visitors. Not actually a serious chapter where stuff gets done. That shall be next chapter.

I have sorted out the races of Equestria into categories. Well... not really categories. I just paired them up with the ones I thought they resembled the most.

Changelings- Hive. Insects. Duh.
Minotuars- Cabal. Powerful and temperamental.
Griffons- Fallen. Honor bound creatures with a class system.
Ponies- Vex. Taking over large masses of land and instilling "Harmony"

Makin' Friends

The group had traveled back to Ponyville. Avoiding any and all of the residents in hopes to not spark a panic. The Elements, Princesses, and Guardians all sat in one room awkwardly. Well... Most of them did. Twilight sat across from the three guardians inspecting them and their armor.

The Titan's armor was colored both black and white. The armor itself didn't look all that flashy like the Canterlot guards armor. The only pieces that stood out were the nightstick on his thigh, and his helmet. It may have looked like any other helmet, except for the cracks in the visor that spewed fire, giving him makeshift horns.

Twilight looked away from the hulking behemoth and her eyes landed on the smallest of the group of aliens. The Warlock. He wore a robe with the design of a tree on it. Not unlike some parts of the Hunter's robe. But instead of the golden fabric on a black background. His was a black fabric on a white background. But the one thing that unsettled her the most was his helmet. It was the skull of a ram, the horns painted a shiny gold and the skull itself was pitch black. His head turned and their eyes locked. She tried to look away without being noticed but it seemed to be too late. This situation couldn't get more awkward.

"So... Nice weather we're having." Rainbow Dash said, trying to start a conversation, any conversation.

No one said a thing. The silence went on for a couple more seconds before the Titan burst from his seat and screamed.

"God this is so fucking boring!" He sat back down. He went limp in the wooden chair.

Celestia coughed. "Yes, it does seem our situation is quite... boring." Was that sarcasm?

"Hey! You might not meet aliens everyday but this is pretty normal for us. I mean, all we do is eat, kill, sleep, almost everyday." Everypony winced at this.

"Well besides him." The Titan pointed to the Hunter. "Just get rid of the eating."

More silence.

"Your friend there showed some interesting abilities. Any chance that you have them too?" Twilight asked.

"Do you have a room you're not using?" The Warlock asked, deciding to joining the conversation.

"Yes actually. Most of the rooms in here aren't really filled yet so... Do you want to go to one?"

"Yes please. A large one if that is possible."

"Sure!" Twilight beamed. It's not everyday that somepony gets to see the magical capabilities of an alien.

"Here we are! This is the biggest room that isn't being used." Twilight said as the group entered the large room.

"Okay." The Warlock nodded. "If we are going to be doing this, I need all of the ponies to stay by the door."

"You're friends ability didn't really hurt us. What's the worst that could happen?" Rainbow Dash asked with a raised eyebrow. The eyebrow lowered itself when the skull wearing Warlock looked at her.

"You disintegrate as your whole body is torn apart at the atomic level."

She backed away.

"Okay then. Titan stand over there."

"What? Why me?" He whined.

"Because you have a higher pain tolerance than any of us."

The Titan grumbled and walked to the other side of the room. The room itself was bear, nothing but crystal from floor to ceiling. He turned to see the ponies looking at him, curiosity written on all of their faces.

"Ready!" He declared.

The Warlock took a running start before leaping into the air. Time seemed to slow down as a mass of purple energy formed in the Warlocks hand and he tossed the large ball of magic at his friend. They could barely hear the Titan scream as a deafening explosion rocked the entire castle. All that was left of him was a blue orb. After landing back down on the ground the Warlock walked up to the orb and tapped it lightly. Making it shrink down and his friend appear before him.

"That was the first ability I learned." The Warlock said as he and the Titan walked back to the group of slack jawed ponies. "My next will be performed right after my friend shows us his." With that. The Warlock went to stand where the Titan stood before.

"Ready!"

The same thing happened as the Titan took a running start and leapt into the air. This time, the Titan began to glow a bright blue as electricity arced through the air. As the Titan landed, another explosion rocked the castle, this one left a pulsating field of electricity in its wake. The Titan didn't wait to walk back to the group.

"Aren't ya goin' to help yer friend?" Applejack asked, confused as to why the Titan just walked away.

"This is his last ability. Kinda requires him to be dead. He's hilarious when he's hopped up on all of that light."

Everypony raised an eyebrow at the Titan before they heard something. It sounded like... shouting? All eyes turned back to the orb on the other side of the room. Nothing had changed. But then, a blinding light filled the room as it reflected off of the crystal surfaces... Which was the whole room. As soon as the light died down they all looked to see a burning Warlock running around the room shouting.

"BURN! BURN! BURN!"

The Titan laughed.

"BURN AWAY THE FLESH THAT IS EVIL! AND LEAVE NOTHING BUT LIGHT!" The Warlock began to chuck grenades in every direction.

The Titan was clutching his sides now.

"BUILD A MAN A FIRE, AND HE'LL BE WARM FOR A DAY!" The ponies didn't like where this was going. "SET A MAN ON FIRE, AND HE'LL BE WARM FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE!"

In the end of it all, it was only Rarity, Fluttershy, and Princess Luna who fainted.
