Stranded: The 1st day

"How much more of this???" Luna groaned.

We will be arriving at Pearson International Airport. Welcome to Canada. You will find your ride at Terminal 3.

"Well, according to this guidebook it's gonna take 4 and a half hours to reach there." Celestia said. "And that's without traffic. With traffic it'll take - OOF! HEY!" Celestia was interrupted by pillow in her face.

Luna smiled. "I needed you to shut up so I could stop feeling the agony of upcoming wait. I clearly don't see - OOF!" She was hit with another pillow, this time from Celestia...

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
6 hours later...

Celestia looked at her sister's lazy posture. "We're here, if it makes you feel better."

"WELL IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!" Luna hollered.

Celestia frowned. "Hey, blame traffic for the extra hours, not me!"

"I'M NOT BLAMING YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Luna yelled. "Whatever. The place looks nice, I guess."

"It's called the Parliament Building."

Celestia then faced the driver. "I assume the ride was prepaid?"

"Yes, ma'am." The driver responded.

"Very well then. Thank you." Celestia said. Then both sisters stepped out of the luxury car and into the Parliament Building.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
After the meeting...

"2 down, 20 something to go." Celestia said. "So far so good. No negative responses... yet. So far we have 2 countries requesting limited immigrants, but they want at least some immigrants. I think I'll send a few ponies to immigrate there, assuming there is no danger posed to them. Of course, if they wanted to test - "

Luna widened her eyes. "Wait a minute, there's MORE?! 20 MORE?!"

"Deal with it." Celestia faced Luna. "Look, the flight to Pearson wasn't THAT long, right? Only an hour or so?"

"It was 2 hours." Luna said. "Alright then, time for the next flight. WHY???"

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"This is outrageous!" Luna said. "The time! Time, time, time. At least the ponies back home aren't suffering. It's great that we made that system to make sure the Sun and Moon would keep moving across the sky, as a backup, after that "vine" fiasco. Right 'Tia?"

Celestia smiled. "Yes, yes it is."

"We are experiencing technical difficulties. We wiiiiiii - "

"That can't be good." Luna said. "You don't think - WHAT?! THE PLANE'S GOING DOWN???!!!!!!!!!"

The 2 sisters gulped as the plane plunged downwards into the deep ocean underneath.

Suddenly, the side was ripped off and the top exploded in flames. A piece of shrapnel the size of a table nearly took Luna's head off, and another pencil-sized one painfully stabbed Luna's chest.

"Luna! Are you alright?" Celestia worriedly shouted.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Luna winced as she pulled out the shrapnel. "I sure do wish we had a healing spell." Luna put her hoof to her chest. Celestia then found a First Aid Kit and tied up the wound with bandages.

"You'll be fine, we'll get back home, I promise." Celestia said. "We should get out of here. I'm pretty sure those bandages are waterproof."

"You're right. We need to get out ASAP. This plane's gonna blow!" Luna said. She swam over to the emergency doors and got out. Celestia followed out, and a raft was floating right there.

"Convenient." Celestia said.

The 2 sisters hopped on, and found a paddle on the raft.

*KABOOM*

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The sisters found themselves in the middle of nowhere.

"I think we're lost." Luna said. "You got anything on you?"

"Nothing." Celestia said. "I don't have pocket dimensions here you know, shesh."

"I guess we could use this piece of shrapnel as a knife." Luna said.

"Are you serious?" Celestia asked.

"Yes, yes I am." Luna said.

Luna then grabbed the paddle and went to the nearest island.

"Now what?" Luna asked.

"Well, since we're Alicorns we have better survivability than other ponies," Celestia said, "So we should be able to survive eating and drinking nothing for a few weeks."

"Well I'm going to get some food." Luna announced.

"How?" Celestia asked.

Luna looked up. "Um... Maybe I can fly up to the palm tree and get a coconut!"

"I told you, you can't fly here." Celestia said. "But now that I think of it, I never tried. I always assumed you just can't fly here."

Luna then beat her wings. It turned out their wings were too small for long-distance travel, but they could flap long enough to get to some trees.

"I... Got... Some... Coconuts..." Luna said. "Whoa, flying is so hard here!"

"Yeah, yeah." Celestia said. "Can't we eat the plants here?"

Luna facehoofed. She then took a bite out of a plant.

"Tastes like... a potato plant?" Luna said.

She then dug under and found a few potatoes.

"Well, let's make a fire!" Luna said.

She then gathered some rocks and sticks and made a fire spit.

"Okay then." Celestia said. "I guess I'll have to do it the old-fashioned way. I haven't done this in... 1389 years."

"Ah, I remember." Luna said. "You were at the beach and some earth ponies taught you how to make fire without magic. Ah, the good old days."

After they got the fire up, Luna took the potatoes and put them on a stick. "You know, I always kinda liked potato-on-a-stick."

Celestia looked up at the sky. "We should probably go to sleep."

"That reminds me, this moon looks like my moon." Luna observed.

Celestia smiled. "Yes sister. Yes it does."

Stranded: Looking for Loot

The next morning...

*Yawn*
Luna rubbed her eyes. "Wha? What day is it? Are we dead? Am I... oh, oh. Right. We're stranded."

Celestia rolled her eyes. "Luna, don't you think it's too early to go crazy?"

Luna looked at her sister. "Why, it's never to early to go - OF COURSE IT'S TOO EARLY TO GO CRAZY WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM A ONE-DAY LUNATIC????"

Celestia looked at Luna in the eyes. "Yes. Yes I do."

"GAAAH!!!!!!!!" Luna flopped on the soft sand, feeling kind of stressed.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Luna spotted a island in the distance. "I think we should start exploring. You know, the plants here are sort of running out, and we should look for other things too."

Celestia smiled. Her sister was always more adventurous than her. And a bit sillier. She WAS the element of laughter, after all.

"Luna, I think you're right. Get the raft, we're leaving."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Almost there! I can just taste the coconuts! Yuck!" Luna spat into the water.

Celestia frowned. "Appreciate the fact you have food."

"Um... okay." Luna was suddenly interested in her paddle.

Celestia spotted a shipwreck. "Hey, maybe we'll find something that can help us over there!" She pointed to the shipwreck.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Nothing useful." Luna said. "Some rope, some strangely waterproof cloth, and some goggles. I think my bandages are made of this cloth."

"That could be useful you know. We could make, like, more bandages and stuff." Celestia looked up. "Hey, you missed a box up here."

Celestia then climbed up to the case and opened it.

Celestia widened her eyes. "I can't believe our luck! We found a compass!"

"Cool story sis. Wait, a compass?" Luna pat her sister on the back. "Good Job! Wait, we're gonna only be able to navigate between islands with that thing."

Celestia snorted. "Whatever. The point is we found something useful."

Luna looked into the distance, and pointed to a shipwreck. "I think I see another shipwreck over there."

Celestia looked towards the wreck as well. "Then let's get to it."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
1 hour later...

"Ooh, a lighter, a long sword, and... wow. A fuel tank. I must say, this is a big find." Luna smiled. She found out it was a long time since she smiled. It made her actually kind of sad. "Hey 'Tia, what direction was our home again?"

Celestia facehoofed. "Are you serious? Oh well, we had nothing there anyway. Just a piece of airplane shrapnel that injured you, and a fire."

Luna rolled her eyes. "Okay then. Let's set camp here then."

Again, Luna gathered the stones and sticks and created a campfire. "Okay, it's ready." She then took the newly found lighter and set the campfire ablaze. "This is great!"

"I'm pretty thirsty. Think you could get a coconut?" Celestia asked.

"Sure." Luna opened her wings and grabbed 2 coconuts. "I... Got... Them...." She panted. "Wow, I'll never get used to flying here."

Celestia smiled. Alright then, I'll get my own next time.

Luna smiled.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"We have fought over a lot of things these days." Celestia said. "Ever since our arrival, we've been fighting. But you know, I always wanted a vacation."

Luna smiled. "I... well, I'm glad you got your vacation."

"Maybe, but it's time for some shut-eye." Celestia then lay down onto the sandy beach.

"Sure, 'Tia. It's been a long day." Luna also lay down. It was going to be an eventful day tomorrow, she could feel it.

"Hey, 'Tia?" Luna asked.

"What?"

She stopped. She forgot what she was going to say. "Um, do you think the Summer Sun Celebration's coming up?"

Celestia froze. "Oh no. The Summer Sun Celebration is... 4 weeks from when we left Equestria.

Luna frowned. "Well, there's no use worrying about things, just go with the flow, right?"

Celestia's face softened. "You're right Luna. Good night."

Luna wrapped her forehooves around her sister's neck in a hug. "Good night sister."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Midnight...

Luna woke up to a slight pain on her leg. She looked beside her. There was her sister, sleeping soundly. Then she looked on her leg. A crab. Seriously? She took the crab off and went back to sleep. Surely there was more to it. She looked into the distance. She saw a fin. The Iconic Shark fin.

Hoped you liked this chapter! This was a short one, but I assure you the next chapter will be the real deal!

Stranded: The search and the shark attack

Meanwhile, in the magical land of Equestria...

A certain 6 friends were "debating" about something.

Applejack frowned. "Hold it sugarcube. We still ain't know nuttin' about the princesses' trip to the other dimension, ya know."

Twilight trotted about her castle. "They were supposed to send us notifications about their journeys! I mean, not everybody gets invited to another dimension to stroll around in, you know!"

"A know, but y'all need to calm down, alright?" Applejack said.

Twilight rolled her eyes. "Alright, I'm calm. But don't you think that it's a bit strange that the princesses' didn't keep their word? It's not like them to do that, you know."

Pinkie started jumping up and down. "Maybe they're having a really big party, and don't want to be disturbed because it's so good!"

"I don't think that would be likely, Pinkie Pie." Rarity said.

"Uh, yes it is!" Pinkie responded.

Rainbow Dash shook her head. "Twilight's right. The Princesses usually never break their word. Something might have happened, like maybe they encountered a huge monster! Or, or, maybe they found a dragon! Oooh, maybe a really big..."

"Yeah, no. I don't think so. But maybe... maybe we can try to find them!" Twilight said.

"Yay!" Rainbow shouted! "Finally time to kick some butt!!!!!"

"Rainbow!" Twilight shouted!

"Um, if its okay with you guys, I think I'm gonna stay here, to you know, look after the animals and stuff, you know, um..." Fluttershy whispered.

"Oh, don't worry Fluttershy, you can come too!" Twilight said.

"But what about the animals? What about... AHHH!" Twilight dragged Fluttershy out of the castle.

"Pack your bag girls, we're in for a big adventure." Twilight announced.

"You sure about this?" Applejack asked.

"Um, yes?" Twilight said.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Earlier this morning...

"Sister, wake up!" Luna shouted.

"What is it this time," Celestia said. "Another shipwreck? Are we found? Can I sleep?"

"Um, we are found. By some sharks!" Luna said.

"So? Just stay out of the water and... wait, are we in water?" Celestia looked around. She was surrounded by water. She stood up. "Let's get to shore. They won't bother us, right?"

"Hopefully." Luna grumbled.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Time to make a home!" Luna happily announced.

"Okay, how?" Celestia asked sarcastically.

"Don't worry, don't feel bad, we'll be fine! Just um, you know, try not to impale yourself on a log." Luna said.

Celestia rolled her eyes. "Okay, I'll be so sure not to do that."

"You better." Luna said. "I think I'll go find a shipwreck to loot. I'll be back soon."

"You know what, I'll come with you." Celestia said.

"Okay, come onto the raft." Luna said.

"Will this thing ever lose air?" Celestia asked.

"I actually don't know." Luna replied.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

A shark had found the 2 sisters and was attacking them, first by circling, waiting to strike...

*swish*

*Gulp*

*swish*

*splash*

Celestia yelped. "Oww! Get off me you little... ow, my forehoof..."

"Sister! Are you okay?" Luna asked.

"Yes, I'm fine..." Celestia trailed off as the shark bit her shoulder and she fell into unconsciousness.

"Sister? 'Tia? 'TIA!!!!!!" Luna yelled as she shook her unconscious sister. "You'll pay for this!!!!!!!" Luna yelled.

She jumped into the water and tackled the shark straight on.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"'Tia? 'Tia? 'Tia, are you okay?" Luna asked worriedly.

"Y- yes, I'm fine Luna, thank you." Celestia said.

'T-thank goodness. I thought you were seriously hurt. I found the cloth from last time and made bandages to wrap up your forehoof." Luna said.

"Thank you Luna." Celestia said.

"I'm just glad you're okay, 'Tia." Luna said.

"Me too. I feel really tired." Celestia put a hoof on her head.

"Rest 'Tia, rest. This was a really tiring day for you." Luna said.

"Hey, Luna," Celestia said drowsily, "Where did those wounds come from? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine 'Tia. Just rest." Luna's right hoof wobbled. It had a small bite wound from tackling the shark. "Oh, and 'Tia, I sunk the shark."

"Why?" Celestia asked.

"It hurt you pretty badly. I didn't want it to go unpunished, so I attacked it. I'm sorry 'Tia, I should've listened to you! I should've headed to shore first thing! It was innocent, just listening to it's instincts! I'm sorry 'Tia!" Luna cried.

"It's fine Luna. The past is in the past. Well, goodnight Luna." Celestia said.

"Goodnight." Luna said.

Author's Note

Finally! After so much waiting, I finally managed to find time to do another chapter!

Found... and lost again

Twilight marched around the chamber where the portal was. "Alright girls, listen up. We rehearsed this."

Rainbow Dash grumbled in the background and rolled her eyes.

"Rainbow, listen up please! Okay, as I was saying, we head into the portal, tell them we're here for the princesses, and come back with them. We'll cross any bridges when we come to them. Simple enough. Are we ready?"

The 5 friends nodded in unison.

Twilight then nodded as well. "Very good. Is everypony ready?"

"Yeah!" the 5 friends cheered.

"Okay then. On the count of 3, we all jump in. 1, 2, 3!"

A bright light engulfed each of the six as they all went into the portal.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Around that time...

On the beach, Luna was pacing around the sandbanks nervously. "Okay, based on our recent discoveries, I think that we have a good chance of getting off this damned beach. So, we draw out a S.O.S, and use our flare gun, and hope to be found. Sister, is that clear?"

Celestia nodded. "All too clear, my dear sister. Except for 1 thing. Where ever did you put that flare? Celestia said.

"Um..."

"You LOST it?

"Sorry!" Luna said.

Celestia rolled her eyes. "Look, we need to co-operate if this plan is to work, alright? I'll go get another flare. YOU stay here."

"Okay 'Tia." Luna answered.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Back to the Mane Six...

After shaking off the feeling of arriving in a new dimension and then walking a few miles...

"Alright then girls, let's go!" Twilight said.

"Woo hoo!" Pinkie Pie cheered. She already started jumping up and down. "Boing, Boing, Boing. Hey Twilight, do you know where we are?"

"I think this is..." Twilight's eyes then darted to a billboard. "Welcome to... Vancouver?"

"Don't you mean, VanHOOVER? Rainbow asked.

"No, I mean Vancouver! Look at that sign!" Twilight yelled.

"Wow." Rainbow said. "Just wow. So we are in a new place now! Just... the same."

"Oh, all this dreadful traveling is getting mud all over my hooves!" Rarity complained.

Applejack blinked. "If y'all gonna be SO crazy about your hooves, maybe you shouldn't have come, and MAYBE y'all should've stayed back in Ponyville!"

"Yeah? Well maybe YOU should've kept your extremely unpleasant mouth back there too!"

"And maybe YOU should've left your scrupulous habits back there too!"

"And maybe YOU just have no care for cleanliness!"

Twilight put herself between the 2 girls. "GIRLS! Stop fighting! Unless you don't want to find the princesses!"

Pinkie started to eat a pizza.

"Pinkie, where ever did you get that?" Rarity asked.

"Oh, I bought this from this REALLY big building where there was a lot of bipedal things and they stared at me awkwardly and they started talking to each other and then a ton of them started swarming me and asking for autographs and then one bought me this pizza and a bunch more gave me a bunch of more neat stuff and -" Pinkie said.

"Wait, what? Where did you find the building?" Twilight asked.

"Over there and behind the trees!" Pinkie answered.

Twilight shook her head. She would never understand Pinkie. "Alright, Rainbow, please look over those trees and tell us how far it is, alright?"

"No problem! I'll do it 5 seconds flat!" Rainbow responded.

The friends closed their eyes as a big cloud of dust came up as Rainbow took off towards the airport.

"I'm back!"

"Alright then, how far?"

"Not far! Only a short walk!"

So the friends walked over to the building.

"Vancouver International Airport," Twilight read. "Huh, I think I've been here. This place, from what I remember, is very beautiful! Except that it's an airship station."

"Yeah, and where did you get that from? Your books?" Rainbow asked.

"Didn't I JUST say that I've been here before?"

"Oh, oh, okay. Twilight, don't you think that's too harsh?"

"Sorry!"

As the friends finally reached the airport, they were greeted by a certain man.

"Hello there! You seem to be the ponies that were supposed to go on the flight to Paris, right?" the man asked.

"Okay then! Oh, um, did you catch 2 ponies named Celestia and Luna?" Twilight asked.

"Yes! Why, I am their Tour Guide! Wait, I remember, they already took their flight. Silly me. It was 2 ponies anyway. Sorry!" the Tour Guide said.

"Okay then, what's your name?" Rainbow asked.

"My name is Roger, and I was appointed to guide the 2 princesses throughout their trip, though I haven't been doing a good job, as you can see." Roger said.

"We haven't heard from those 2 ponies in a while, do you think you could take us to Paris? We suspect something might have happened." Twilight said.

"Sorry, can't help you." Roger said.

"Oh, then sorry to bother you..." Twilight said.

"Then again... it is my job to take care of those 2... How about this; I have this errand at Prince Edward Island, could you do it for me? Then maybe I'll help you. I'll give you the flight there, I have my own plane." Roger said.

"How convenient," Twilight whispered. "Alright, we'll do it!"

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Let's turn on some music. Here we go, this) sounds nice!" Rainbow said.

"Don't you think that's a bit, um, strong?" Rarity said.

"Not at all! It's awesome, like me." Rainbow said.

Twilight rolled her eyes. "Whatever. We'll be arriving soon, so be on the lookout for some buildings."

"Aaaand touchdown!" Pinkie exclaimed.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
After walking to the docks...

"Hello there! So like I told you, I need help. If you do, I'll tell you how to find the 2 ponies you're looking for." Roger said.

"Just say it." Twilight said.

"I need you to manage the fishing stocks and list down the market price for all the types of fish in that compartment." Roger pointed to a large warehouse.

"That's boring. You know what would make it 20% cooler?" Rainbow said. "NOT doing this stupid job!"

"Well you asked for this job, so get to work." Roger said.

"Fine."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Right. So thank you for sorting out that matter, so here's your help. Just talk to those nice fellows over there. You see those coast guards?" Roger said.

"Yup!" Pinkie said.

"Well they'll help you if you ask. I've told them to give you high priority.

"And why would they listen to you?" Twilight asked suspiciously.

"Because I'm a government agent." Roger said.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
After heading off into the Atlantic Ocean...

"Alright girls, let's hold on the information we have right now." Twilight said. Spike, make a liiiiiist? Where's spike?

"Don't you remember? He was out getting supplies when we were talking." Pinkie said.

"Then he must be worried sick!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Oh, before we left I put a note on the door." Pinkie said.

"How do you - nevermind. Okay then. We -"

"I'm so bored," Rainbow complained. "I never knew sailing could be THIS boring!"

"Whatever. We have to remember this is a rescue mission! If we see a flare or something we gotta go save them!"

"I... well FINE! I'll just... um... go outside and stuff!" Rainbow said.

"Go ahead."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Are you ready?" Celestia asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" Luna said.

"Okay then, 3, 2, 1, FIRE!" Celestia then launched the flare.

"WE DIDN'T EVEN SEE A - oh, there's a ship. I shall not ever doubt thou ever again." Luna said.

"Now when did you start using that "accent" again?"

"Come on, you know that's a joke."

"I'm just teasing. Let's go home."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"A flare!" Quick, we gotta stop! Captain!!" Twilight said.

"Alright then, prepare to stop." the captain said.

A very slow and gradual stop followed.

"There they are!" Twilight said. "Though I don't know how this happened, I knew something happened to them! Here, open the door!" Twilight then opened the door.

The 2 sisters rode their raft over.

"Ya highness, are y'all alrigh'? Applejack asked.

"We're quite fine, thank you." Celestia responded.

Luna winced. "Oh dear, the old wound still hurts."

"Are you okay? It was only a few days since... something happened." Celestia said.

"I should be worried about you! You were only..." Luna trailed off as she realized she was making the friends nervous. "We're fine, really! Don't worry about us now, we can finally leave! We should be happy right now!"

"Your highness, I do respect your decisions, really I do, but I think you need to clean that wound, maybe a little alcohol? Rarity said.

"Um, alcohol?" Luna said nervously. She smiled at Rarity. "Alright, fine."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

We are experiencing some fog. This may delay our ride for a while.

*Crack*

"That doesn't sound good..." Twilight said.

"No kidding." Rainbow dash said.

Suddenly, the ship began to tilt backward.

Luna started to breath heavily. "Uh oh..."

Celestia comforted her sister. "Don't worry, we'll all be fine." She then hoped that was the case.

"This must be major. I mean, Luna's like, hyperventilating!" Pinkie said.

"Pinkie, that's not hyperventilating! Where did you learn that word anyway?" Twilight said.

"Never mind that now, SOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rainbow said.

As the ponies hung on for dear life, a man seemed to be viewing from a distance.

Author's Note

Changes: I edited the story.

Magnituda

In a faraway land...

"Yes, YES! The humans are acting as expected...

"My dear commander, you have clearly taken very simple action. This plan was almost thwarted by you ignorance. And you know perfectly well that anything could travel into our controlled environment. We shouldn't have done this..."

[i"]But sir, don't you think we would easily win any war if we took arms against them? Their technology does not rival ours."

"Ah, yes. But we can't take any risks. They have mastered dimensional travel while we have not. I assure you that strategy is key. When magic is involved, anything could happen."

"Perhaps these ponies may be smarter than we think, and our plan. Perhaps it will be perfectly wise to attack."

"Commander, are you calling me unwise?"

"Not at all sir, I, um... am just suggesting that perhaps we should plan an attack as a backup plan, if that's what you want, heh heh heh..."

"Good. They won't know what hit them."

You promised me great rewards for these plans... oh, and Emperor Howard

"I told you to address me as sir, do you understand?" Howard said.

Yes... I perfectly expect greatness to come of these plans.

"As do I." Howard pressed the off button on the phone. He grinned deviously.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
1 month later...

"Sir, our scouts report that the ponies have found the final generator!"

Howard had began to worry that the ponies had been more suspicous of their stranding spot the moment the ponies realized every single island had a shipwreck. Soon, the monitors had been strangely shut down, and many more system failures have occurred since. It seems that the ponies had found out that the very bottom of those deep trenches were the terrain generators, and so they began to sabotage the generators with the items supplied from the shipwrecks. Because of this, Howard demanded all shipwrecks to be cleared of items. However, it was too late and all that did was conclude that they were in some type of controlled environment. Now, once they destroyed the final generator, all will be lost and the actual location of their place will be revealed. The land of Magnituda was hidden by this very environment, known by the humans as the Bermuda Triangle, and was a forbidden place. Any planes or ships were destroyed by massive guns and missiles.
Once revealed, the land of Magnituda will lose everything and the world will bring wrath upon the land! Or so Howard thought...

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"I can't believe this! Sister, I just can't believe this! I find this most certainly an outrage!" Luna exclaimed. It had been a month since the rescue ship had sunk and they were left back stranded, and they had learned much since then.

"Luna, calm down. I know that... unfortunately, that we are in a type of controlled environment, but we will get out of this soon." Celestia said.

"I'm sorry. I know that this is a difficult time for you as well. Though I do believe that once we destroy this final generator, we should be able to leave, according to our recent discoveries."

Suddenly, Luna was interrupted by a loud gasp for air. "Ya highness, a think we got it!" Applejack said.

"Yes. I thank you all for this. Are you tired?" Luna said.

"Not at all!" Rainbow said. "I could do this for hours!"

"Rainbow, come on! Get on this partttty... oooh... shakkky..." Right behind Pinkie, the sky suddenly shattered.

"Hmm, I think this worked!" Twilight said.

"Yes, I believe so. Wow. We're free." Luna said.

"Ooh, yes, finally, civilization! Oh, I can't tell you how much I missed the spa! It was absolutely DREADFUL having to live off the bare essentials like that, oooh!" Rarity exclaimed. "Applejack, please be a dear and start the engine please?"

"We're outta gas." Applejack said.

"You mean I have to PADDLE there? My hooves are aching!"

"Yeah."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"The Emperor of Magnituda declares that we, as a country, officially declare full-out war between the Equestrian lands!"

A loud uproar followed.

"And now, a speech by the Emperor himself."

"Thank you, thank you. Is this thing on?" Howard tapped the microphone, and loud screeching followed. "Yes, thank you. So as you all know, the ponies have brought assured terror upon this land. But we shall fight back! We'll show them who's boss, and we'll show them what we think is right! We will bring justice to their actions, and justice to our land! This force-field has protected us for decades, yet destroyed by ponies. Why this is so? Why, for hundreds of years, have we been slaves to others? Have our ancestors' wishes been destroyed? Has the Declaration of Magnituda been for naught? No! Let us all take a stand, and take their lands as our prize!"

"Woo hoo! We love you! Yay!!!!" The crowd shouted.

Suddenly a loud voice boomed over the landscape. "SINCE THOU HAS DECLARED WAR ON MY LAND, IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT MY SUBJECTS, AND DESTROY THY UNGRATEFUL WHELP!"

"We'll be the first ones to destroy you!" A man shouted from the crowd, and murmurs of approval went amongst the crowd.

"Very well then. Fine. But you will NOT reign victorious!" With that, there was complete silence.

Ooooh, and so, the story ends. But if you guys would like a epilogue, please say it in the comments below!

Arrival and meetings

"Luna, pack your things, we're leaving," Princess Celestia called. Where they were leaving, that was classified, only revealed to people especially close to the Princesses, and the Princesses themselves, of course.

Luna looked at her things. She decided she was going to pack her pillow (don't ask), a couple of her books, and... and... whatever. She didn't know what else she wanted, so she just closed the suitcase. Usually she went around Equestria, maybe around Equus' but she doesn't remember the last time she went to another dimension for diplomatic cases. She was pretty nervous.

Her sister said it was important, and that this dimension was a force to be reckoned with, so she went along. Her sister also described that the inhabitants look vaguely like Twilight's friends back in Canterlot High. Good. So maybe it means they're peaceful? Probably was her guess, but she couldn't assume. Not here.

Anyway, she called down to Celestia, "I'm ready!".

Downstairs, Celestia took a deep breath. She was nervous about this as well. She saw Luna walk down from the staircase and enter the room where the portal sat. She didn't remember when it was created, but she did know she tripped into it. Typical.

"Are you ready Luna?" she asked.

"Y-yes." Luna answered.

Celestia went first. Then it was her turn. She took a deep breath. This was the moment she was waiting for. She took a shaky hoof forward. It went into the portal. Then she entered completely.

*Gasp*. That was NOT enough to sum up what she saw. There were so many... what where they? She asked her sister, "What are those... animals?" she asked.

"Those, are Humans." Celestia answered.

Ok then, there were so many... Humans. One walked up to her and said a bunch of words she could not understand. "Um, hi?" she said.

"You can talk?" it said in what seemed to be a deeply accented tone. "Are you the thing coming for the meeting here?"

"Um, yes. We're here for the - mmmph!" she said. She was blocked by her sister clamping her hoof on her mouth.

"Sorry to bother you, but I really must be going, heh heh." she said. Then she faced Luna and whispered, "This is not the place we are supposed to have our first meeting!" She then pointed her hoof at a large building surrounded by paved areas and whispered, "That's where we'll get our ride to the place."

"Can't we use our wings, or maybe our magic?" Luna asked.

"No, because magic doesn't work here. Neither do wings." Celestia answered.

"Makes sense." Luna said sarcastically. She rolled her eyes.

The plane leaving for USA will be departing shortly.

"That's our... uh, transport!" Luna exclaimed. "Quick, we can't miss it." She hurried into the boarding area. Thankfully they had a private jet, so they could have a peaceful flight without bother. Hopefully.

12 hours later...

*Wakes up*
"This is SO boring," Luna groaned. "Sure, it's comfortable, but it's taking so long. Sister, how much longer do we have to wait?". She was answered by the speakers.

"We will be arriving at Washington Dulles International Airport shortly. The estimated time to arrival is 10 minutes."

"See, we're almost there. Now stop your inferior groaning." Celestia said, "And by the way, groaning won't make it any faster."

Luna frowned at the ending statement. She wasn't groaning now, after all...

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Welcome to Washington! Now I know this isn't the place where you're scheduled to have a meeting, but you will be driven to the meeting room shortly." the guide said. Luna whimpered softly at the knowledge of more waiting. "Now I know you all would like to be brought there as quick as possible, so we arranged a room for you to wait. Though I assure you, your ride will come shortly. I will see to your requests here and at the meeting."

Luna then spoke up, saying, "I'd like a drink please." The guide nodded and headed towards the bar.

Meanwhile, Luna asked, "How did they know of us?"

Celestia said, "Well you know how I tripped into the portal, right?"

Luna nodded. "Well, the portal appears somewhere random all the time, and I had the luck to end up what seemed like a large gathering of these... Humans. I tried to teleport, but found out it didn't work. Meanwhile they were whispering to each other, and one of them told me to follow it. So I did. And it led me to a chair in the center of the room. I sat down, and then they told me that they would each like me to go to their countries and have a private meeting with each of them, after some whispering and chatting, of course. They told me to go back and prepare for the meetings, and they'd be ready. They gave me the "airplane" ticket that let us go on the "insufferably boring" transport machine. They said they would give a new one every time we went to one of the meetings. Then I headed back, and you know the rest."

After the meeting...

"This is... good. The leaders decided that we they would remain neutral, however they said they want a limited amount of immigrants and do not want any affairs with Equestria... yet." Luna said. "I hope it stays that way. I doubt anypony would want to leave anyway."

Celestia nodded in agreement.

"They also gave us this ticket, and said we are to go to the airport and board another airplane. This better be quick."

Epilogue

Luna was exhausted. After teleporting half of the 6 friends to Pearson, she had never felt more agony in her limbs her whole life. Well, maybe not her whole life, but at least for the past month. A lot had happened in the past month. And as she walked across the marble floor, it hit her like a freight train what she had just declared moments ago. She had declared full-out war. That wasn't kidding. She stepped onto the escalator. Because of her long body, the bottom half of her body was on the lower steps of the escalator.

Celestia pat her sister on the back, mostly because she was feeling quite glum about the things that had happened earlier, and wanted comfort, but when her sister's head drooped down, she was feeling worse than ever. "Luna?" Celestia asked.

"Yes?"

Celestia sighed. "It's not your fault."

"I know it isn't."

"Oh, you do?" It strangely comforted Celestia to hear that from her sister. "Well, I just want to say that what happened, well, happened. You can't go back in time to change it, can you? And even if you could, nothing would change."

"I know. I heard about Twilight's failed attempt to change the future."

"Good. Just don't get stuck in the past." The two sisters were walking along subconsciously, so they both smashed right into a column.

"Ow!" They yelled in unison.

"Uhhh..." Luna groaned.

"Ohh..." Celestia groaned.

"Ouch." Twilight winced. "Are you alright?" She quickly helped the two up.

"We're fine, but thank you very much." Luna said. "Actually, I never had very much clarification on this plan. Please do tell why we needed to come here?"

"Well, you'll find out soon enough, because there's our ride!" Twilight pointed to Roger sitting on a bench.

"Um, please tell who is that?"

"That, is Roger."

"Uh... okay, if you say so, Twilight."

Twilight walked over to Roger and he waved at them. "Hey, you made it! Uh, I mean, I always knew you would succeed!"

"Our airplane tickets?"

"Oh, yes. Fine." Roger handed over a large wad of cash. "I'm guessing you know what to do with this?"

"Why, of course!" Rarity quickly picked up the cash and stopped. "Wait, I don't know much about airports, but there usually is a dreadfully long time after you buy the tickets and we need to go right now. So would you be a dear and please give us some tickets?"

Roger grunted. "Fine, take these airplane tickets to Chengdu City, where the portal is located. Take care. Go to terminal 9 and head through the first class entrance. And here are your passports." Roger quickly handed passports to each pony. "Bye."

And the ponies headed off to Terminal 9.

"It's nice to be back, is that not so?" Luna asked.

"As a matter of fact, it is." Celestia said. She smiled as she did her paperwork. "I have a meeting soon. Care to join me?"

"I'd love to."
