Chapter 2 - Iron Will Solider Academy
At the front of the school, all of the students got their luggage and backpacks, fulled of clothes for their trip to the academy and waiting with their teachers. Most of the students were chatting with their friends, wonder what this academy will look like. Some said that they heard rumors about the academy being located on an unknown island while some believe it was created as a military camp to turned all students into soldiers for the Army. But one thing they know is that the academy was created in the same date as the Fall Formal event last month ago.
The girls got their clothes packed in their luggage and/or backpacks and waiting near to the front of the statue. Their minds were still filled of the information that the principal told them : the three armored humans that stolen the magic from Equestria originated from the same place that they're going. What would Iron Will Solider Academy want with Equestria Magic? What would they gained from stealing from it? Either way, they hopefully that they can try to get it back before they'll misuse it the wrong way.
"I can't believe those armored humans that stolen the magic came from that same academy we're heading." Fluttershy said, holding Angel in her arms.
"Those jerks!" Rainbow growled while kicking the soccer ball "They probably want to use the magic to gain an advantage against us and the Shadowbolts in the Warzone event!"
"And to make it worst, its mostly based on the Halo series!" Rainbow groaned "I can't believe they making an event based on that franchise."
"Halo?" Both Princess Twilight and Spike (Dragon) cocked their heads in confusion.
"What's Halo?" Spike (Dragon) asked.
"Just some sci-fi video game series that mostly about intergalactic war." Applejack replied flatly as both shivered at that word.
"I never knew that humans would be interesting in this kind." Princess Twilight said.
"Neither do we, darling." Rarity said, putting some make up on.
"I had to get my sister off of those barbaric games along with her friends but they really quickly enjoyed so much with all of the shooting and smacking alien beings."
"You said it. Not to mention, the story of it really making my head hurt." Applejack said "M'ah sister kept telling me about they story of that series and it really confusing me."
"Story?" Princess Twilight asked.
"Trust me, if you want to know about, m'ah sister and her friends will asked all of that." Applejack point to the CMC chatting with Button Mash, possibly talking more of the game"They quickly become interest of the series with their friend, Button Mash, being a fan of it."
Princess Twilight nodded as she walking towards to the CMC as they can hear them talking about the series with words she never heard before.
"I can't believe that Fire Team Osiris are now hunting Blue Team." Scootaloo said.
"Well, we did know the reason why Blue Team gone AWOL after destroying Argent Moon." Button Mash said. "I always want to know why they did ever since they announce the game of it."
"But that metal wing thing, could that be the Guardian?" Sweetie Belle asked as he nodded.
"Yeah, from the E3 gameplay trailer I saw, that is definitely a Guardian."
"So what are those 'Guardian'?" Applebloom asked as he shrugged.
"To be honest, from every books I read as well as watching every Waypoints, this is pretty new to me, but my guess is that it's a Forerunner artifact."
The girls nodded as Princess Twilight decide to speak "Hey, girls."
The CMC and Button Mash turned and saw Princess Twilight, sharing confusing glance at first.
"Twilight? Is that you?" Scootaloo asked as she nodded.
"That's Twilight? Didn't she used to go to Crystal Prep?" Button Mash asked.
"Crystal Prep?" Princess Twilight cocked her head in confusion before understand what he meant.
"You must talking about my human counterpart."
"Counterpart?" Button Mash asked as the CMC and Princess Twilight explained of Equestria, ponies of themselves, how she got to this world, and the magical events happened before.
"Wow, I never knew that there's a world full of colored ponies even having a pony version of us." Button Mash amazed at it.
"Yeah, we were surprised at first, but consider what happened in the past events, we gotten used to it." Applebloom said as he nodded to them.
"So what do you need, Princess Twilight?" Scootaloo asked.
"Well I was wondering if you girls or Button Mash know about the story about 'Halo'?" Princess Twilight asked.
"Well, to be honest, we are new to this series too but Button Mash know it." Sweetie Belle said as the princess turned to him.
"Well to start......" He begin explaining the details of the game's story plot in similar way when she goes 'Egghead' mode. From the Original to the Reclaimer Saga, the UNSC (United Nation Space Command) fighting against an alien race known as the Covenant in a holy war, to the UNSC's creation of elite soldiers known as Spartans, to the discovery of an ancient ring like world called Halo created by the ancient Forerunners, the Flood, and to the story of one Spartan, Master Chief (John or Sierra 117) being the legendary hero among all humanity and his actions to save the galaxy along with other characters that involved in the holy war too such as the Arbiter, one of the 'Elites' Covenant who and the other Elites betrayed the Covenant after learning what Halo's true purpose is and side with the humans, and Cortana, Master Chief's most trusted AI (Artificial Intelligence) companion which she sacrifice her life at the start of the Reclaimer Saga.
After that, Princess Twilight was impressed of the details of the story. Whoever created that series must given an great amount of time to plan out a details to make it good.
"Incredible...."
"Yeah, and since the series really famous, it expanded the story through other media such as books, Waypoints, comics, and only two dvds." Button Mash said.
"And right now, we're got some bits of information on the recent game, Halo 5 Guardians."
"What do you know about the story so far?" Twilight asked as Button Mash explaining of a new Spartan IV's team Fire Team Orisis hunting down Blue Team, lead by Master Chief, who they went AWOL (Absent Without Orders or Leave) as strange similar events begin to happened on colonies that threaten the galaxy.
"But why would Master Chief and the rest of the Blue Team went rogue?" Princess Twilight asked.
"The only clue we can answer is that Cortana is still alive but we're not certain unless we had to play through the campaign." Sweetie Belle said.
"I see, all right." Princess Twilight nodded "Thanks for explaining to me."
As she was about to leave and walking towards to her friends, she bump into someone and both fall down on the ground. Once she regain her vision, she blush intensely at the person who she bumped into. One of which she tend to do often.
"Twilight?" Flash said as he helping her get to her feet "Sorry if I bumped into you. Again."
"I-It's okay, Flash......" Princess Twilight said playing with her hair embarrassed.
"So I um....met your....... and......." Flash stuttered a bit.
"You assume that's me?" Princess Twilight gave a amusing smile which Flash nodded.
"I understand, Flash." Princess Twilight gave a reassuring smile "I also caught off guard by seeing her after the event of the Friendship Games."
Flash nodded with a smile as he asked "So you and your friends are going to participate in this paintball event?"
"Well, we got no choice, Flash." said Princess Twilight "Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna want us to enter it and to win it."
"Why?" Flash asked as Princess Twilight explained of the missing students and how Commander Iron Will might know where they are. She also explained of Commander Iron Will send three armored humans to steal the magic from her homeworld.
"So that's the reason....." Flash understanding of the situation.
"Yeah, and that's another reason why we got to do this otherwise, it'll be a disaster if they used it the wrong way."
"Man, I wonder how many times the fate of both worlds are at stake when comes to magic?" Flash remarked.
"A lot when things always popped out of nowhere." Princess Twilight said.
Just then, a hovering noise was heard as all of the students take glance at the sky as four Pelicans begin descending down to the front of the school as students gather away as once they landed, all of them open up as Commander Iron Will came out from one of them on the right.
Principal Celesita walks towards him crossing her arms with unamused look "You know that's very excessive."
"I always like doing excessive stuff." Commander Iron Will replied with a smirked. Then he turned to the CHS students having expression of bewildered and shocked looks.
"All right students of CHS, if you board into the Pelicans into 10, we will take you to the academy. Our faculties will handle your bags and luggage on the storage compartment."
The students then got into 10 groups as all of the faculties put their bags and luggage on the storage center. The girls were lined up on the third one as one of the faculties was about to take Sci-Twilight's bag, she said "I'll like to hold on to it." she also point to her pony counterpart "My twin sister's too."
The faculty nodded as he continued packing the storage compartment as the girls taken their seats as they taken their seat belts on. Once all of the students are in as well as the Principals enter too, the four Pelicans begin descending from the skies as they flying towards the academy.
At the seats of the Pelicans, Princess Twilight and her friends begin watching the window seats as they saw the vast ocean sparkling on the ray of sunshine. Then 4 more Pelicans appeared on the right side as a com link was heard.
"Commander Iron Will, this is Captain Raider of the Pelicans Wing Seeker # 3, we pick up Crystal Prep and regrouping with Pelican Wing Seeker # 1, over."
"Roger that, Captain Raider. Follow us to the hanger base of the academy."
"Roger that." The other 4 Pelicans following them as they continue on the voyage to the academy.
"So Commander Iron Will?" Principal Celestia asked, still unamused "Why you want to bring the Crystal Prep to the event? Surely they're tired from the Friendship Games."
"Oh let's just say a way to rekindle the rivalry with my students." Commander Iron Will said as both Principals rolled their eyes. Since after the event of the Friendship Games, the students from Crystal Prep Academy are now on friendlier terms.
"Speaking of student, what educational level does you're student learned?" Vice Principal Luna asked.
"Science, Math, English, lots of basic educational stuff we have in the academy but my students, they're very professional on a special educational that they mastered and part of their life."
"What kind?"
"Let's just say the kind that surpass all." Commander Iron Will replied with a grin which the principals shared confusing glance.
The Rainbooms, on the left side seat, heard of their conversation also sharing confusing glance at this. What does he meant by that? What kind of students would surpass all and for what? Whatever the case, they just hope the principal can find the missing students and also find the stolen Equestria Magic.
"I just realized something." Sci-Twilight looking at the window as the girls turned to her.
"What is it Twilight?" Sunset asked.
"There also two students who used to go to Crystal Prep Academy but went missing on that same week Valor Star went missing too."
"Really? Who are they?" Princess Twilight asked.
"Azure Streak and Silver Streak. They're twins who are orphaned without memories of their birth parents and been living in the academy when a lunch lady, Green Hope, met them and decided to adopted them. Since then, the academy is like their home as they often living in the library until the lunch lady have enough money to buy a house not to mention that they're pretty smart at all educational institutions, until Principal Cinch found out about them and fire her and threatened them to send them back to the orphanage until the next day, they went missing like Valor Star." Sci-Twilight explained as the Rainbooms were sad at this. They never know what's like to be born without a family and the twins only have one but Principal Cinch had hurt them.
"That's the most saddened thing I ever heard." Pinkie wiping her tears.
"Oh those poor twins....." Fluttershy felt sorry for them. "I can't believe Principal Cinch would do something awful to them."
The girls agreed as Rarity asked "How do you know them Twilight?"
"Because I used to be their tutors for them." Sci-Twilight sadly said looking away. "Every after school, I've gone helping them with their homework or prepare them for the test. To me, I've felt that I almost found some friends but Principal Cinch took them away."
The girls felt sad for Sci-Twilight to lose them as Princess Twilight and Sunset Shimmer place their hands on her shoulder which she smile at her friends' attempt to console her.
Until a com link ruined their tender moment "Commander Iron Will, this is Captain Raider of Pelicans Wing Seeker #3, we've reached the academy, over."
"Roger that, Captain. Follow us to hanger base #2 for landing." Commander Iron Will said.
"Roger that."
(Play at 1:06)
Then as the students looked at the windows, all of them bear the same shocked expression of the academy. It was a high tech like academy that you seen in sci-fi movies or video games but at the same time it almost share the similar look to Canterlot High School but also a bit of Crystal Prep Academy. The outer frame is lined with rectangular walls as a futuristic design of a bull embed on the middle with high tech windows on the middle with a decorative Energy Cross Sword that changed into the futuristic bull. Instead of castle layout design, it shaped to that of a Forerunner designs on each sides as it traveled to the end of the pillars with an circular shaped to that of a Halo ring. From the top, a Guardian shaped like pillars was seen as it traveled to the rectangular shaped middle. High tech towers appeared from each side with a control center as faculty were working on the controls. Blue energies were course through the academy, giving a neon blue glow. From the left side of the building, a training facility was seen with campsites and cabins as on the opposite side that widened the students' eyes even the Rainbooms too, multiple Scorpions, Warthogs, Mongoose, and Mantis were seen. As the Pelicans swoop to the hanger bay, from the back, a lush green environment forests with huge walls surrounding it into a octagon shaped stadium.
As the Pelicans landed on Hanger # 2 on the far right, the floor begin to rumble as the floor opens up and begin pulling the Pelicans down to underground as the students saw underground, it was a huge that it'll take about 100 years to make this seemly impossible underground high tech base. Blue metallic like structures were seen as from the down right on first floor, multiple students/faculty were training, recording, studying, and even practice combating.
As the floor reaches the first floor, the bay door opens as all of the students came out still having the shocked expression as Commander Iron Will smirked.
"Welcome to Iron Will Solider Academy. An academy that's not just any ordinary academy. Here above and underground, this academy combines both High School and College levels and giving the chance for students to study both of them at the same time. But also, we also decide to create an Military camp at the same time to boost the students' morality."
Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were too shocked at this as a faculty came towards him with a clipboard handled to him as he read this and sighed.
"I wish I can give you the tour but I got some stuff I need to do. I'll leave Smokeshot to give you the tour. He'll be there in 5 min." Commander Iron Will said as he leave on the right as the door closed, leaving them alone.
"I can't believe this." Sci-Twilight fixed her glasses at the sight of the underground building. "It's scientific impossible for Commander Iron Will to create a high tech structures in less than a year. These would require in 20 years or more to make such advanced place."
"You can say that again." Princess Twilight agreeing with her.
"Ya think that maybe it might be just for show?" Applejack asked.
"Could be." Sci-Twilight said "But if only if that's true."
"Well, looks like this is a familiar sight." a voice was heard as the Wondercolts turned and saw the Shadowbolts walking towards them as well as Principal Cinch. Since after the event of the Friendship Games, the Shadowbolts decided to be on more friendlier terms then next time they meet again.
"It's our friends and rivals." Sour Sweet said "And of course, Twilight Sparkle."
"Hey girls...." Sci-Twilight wave nervously to them as Princess Twilight look at her concern for her.
"Listen, we haven't been the nicest to you at the Friendship Games." Sour Sweet said sweetly then become sour "Mostly it was Principal Cinch's fault."
The other Shadowbolts nodded as Lemon Zest speak next "And mostly ours too, but we want to make it up to you by being your friends if that's okay with you?"
The Wondercolts were surprised at this as Sci-Twilight was hesitate at first but gave a warm smile at them. Consider what happened at the end of the Friendship Games, it seems as they come to friendlier terms with her and her new friend.
"I think I'm okay with that." With that the Shadowbolts gave her a group hug as the Wondercolts and Princess Twilight watched this endearing sight.
"So you guys also invited to the academy too right?" Sunset asked them as the Shadowbolts turned to them after their group hug.
"Well we don't know why at first, but Principal Cinch want us to compete in this." Sugarcoat said.
"If I were you guys, I think you need to keep your magic in check just in case if Principal Cinch is going to find out more of it after the Friendship Games." Indigo Zap added as the Rainbooms shared worried looks at this.
"But why? She had no proof of it." Sci-Twilight asked.
"I know, but somehow she's determined to get it." Sunny Flare said as the Shadowbolts nodded.
"Well we just have to be careful that's all." Applejack said as the Rainbooms nodded. Then the Shadowbolts turned and in surprise, they saw Princess Twilight.
"Uh, Twilight, since when you have a twin sister?" Sugarcoat asked as Sci-Twilight begin explaining to them. After a few minutes, the Shadowbolts were surprise a bit.
"So this Twilight is from another dimension world, Equestria as well as a princess who somehow came to this school and dealing with magical problems before the Friendship Games." Sunny Flare said as she nodded.
"I'm surprise that you girls aren't that shocked at this." Princess Twilight said.
"Well consider from what happened at the Friendship Games, we gotten used to it." Indigo said.
Meanwhile, Dean Cadance greeting Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna as each of them gave a hug.
"It's good to see you again, Dean Cadance since after the Friendship Games." Vice Principal Luna said. "How's things going on Crystal Prep?"
"Well things are a bit normal......." Dean Cadance said as Principal Cinch came out of the Pelican "....well almost. Since after Twilight transfer to Canterlot High, let's just say that Principal Cinch is desperate to keep the reputation of the school and trust me, the students aren't that too happy about that."
Principal Cinch came to the Principals of Canterlot High, her demeanor still retained the same "Well, it's good to see again, Principal Celestia. Though I'm surprise that you decide to come to this academy to participate in this event."
"Let's just say we have our reason to participate." Principal Celestia said as her sister nodded. Principal Cinch then glance at the Shadowbolts talking with the Wonderbolts as she glare daggers at Twilight Sparkle. She can't believe her fear had come true. From losing her best student and losing the reputation of making Crystal Prep the best at everything than Canterlot High.
Enjoy your time in Canterlot High, Twilight. she thought as hidden in her jacket a small camera was embed disguise as a pin of Crystal Prep. You and your friends will finally be known to the whole world of this 'magic'.
Dean Cadance came to the Wondercolts as Sci-Twilight saw her and grinned "Dean Cadance!"
Both gave a hug as the Wondercolts came to her side along with Princess Twilight too who Dean Cadance was surprise of another Twilight.
"And....Twilight?"
Princess Twilight gave a awkward wave at her as Sci-Twilight explained about her.
"I see, so Princess Twilight came to Canterlot High before you and helping the Wondercolts. It's no wonder most students know you." Dean Cadance said as both Twilights nodded.
"Yeah, and thanks to her, the Wondercolts were brought together after......." Sunset lower her head as Applejack came to her.
"Sunset, what happened before in the past, stays in the past." The cowgirl said "Don't dwell on it."
Sunset nodded with a small smile as Princess Twilight watches the Wondercolts cheering her up along with her human counterpart. Then the door open as a faculty officer came. Like the others, he wore a uniform consist of grey along with a name tag spelled 'Smokeshot' and a grey hat to complement it on top of his black hair. He wore black boots like the rest of the faculties and students as on the collars, badges of medal of honors were placed.
"So you must be the students and the faculties of Crystal Prep and Canterlot High that Commander Iron Will told me." Smokeshot gave a handshake to the Principals "My name is Smokeshot. It's nice to meet you all."
"Likewise, Smokeshot." Principal Celestia said.
"So shall we begin the tour?" With that, Crystal Prep's and Canterlot High's students and faculty followed Smokeshot.
At a virtual training area, the huge white room begin to changed into a deep space with a giant space cruiser as faculty members are preparing on the control room. Commander Iron Will came in as all of the faculty members salute him.
"At ease, everyone." he said "Give me update on them."
"Well, sir, Charlie Horse begin descending into the enemy base. Suits are green as usual along with the new energy source we gave to their bodies."
"Any symptoms on them?" Commander Iron Will asked.
"None so far." another said as a virtual Pelicans open the bay door, revealing the six armored humans.
"All right, but do check just in case." Commander Iron Will said as they nodded as he hold a microphone.
"Charlie Horse, this is Commander Iron Will, you must destroy the your enemy's Spartan before they can reach yours and do the same. You got 5 minutes."
"Understood, sir." Master Chief 2.0's voice was heard through the com link.
"Then let's get the show on the road." Commander Iron Will said.
At the Pelican, all of Charlie Horse's visor turned on as Master Chief and the others grabbed their weapons
"Charlie Horse, fall out." All of them deployed from the gate as they sprint into the battlefield.
"Here, on the left, we have advance math, science, reading, writing, all of the circular activities." SmokeShot show them as students from the Iron Will Solider Academy were focus on their studies. "On the right, we have computer classes, engineer class, lab rooms, and P.E."
While the students from Canterlot High and Crystal Prep following him on the tour, the Rainbooms along with the Shadowbolts glance at the students passing through. However from one glance, each of them seeing as all of the students were strange as their eyes were mostly........blank and utter focus.
"Does this ringing any bells?" Applejack asked.
"Yeah, this is too much like the students from Crystal Pep." Sci-Twilight said, passing through another student.
"Too much if you ask us." Sugarcoat said.
"What do you mean?" Rarity asked.
"Well things had change in the Crystal Prep since after the event of the Friendship Games and Twilight transfer to Canterlot High." Sunny Flare groaned "Principal Cinch begin to enforced more strict and forcing additional lessons and homework to keep the reputation of the school."
"That's not fair." Princess Twilight said.
"I know, and so the teachers too but half of us just accept it and trying to survive that harsh education." Indigo Zap said. "One point is that in math class, Principal Cinch added pop quiz everyday on lessons that we haven't worked on!"
Just as the Rainbooms going to show concern for them, Smokeshot stopped at the particular room, earning attention to them. "And this is our Battle Room."
"Battle Room?" Principal Cinch asked.
"Yes, since our academy now has a military camp, we develop a simulator room for our students to train in the upcoming Warzone events." Smokeshot explained as he open the door, they follow to the seats as the students heard loud noise of guns, explosions, plasma, and engine.
"Ah, good, looks like we're just in the right time." Smokeshot said.
"For what?" Vice Principal Luna asked.
"You'll see." As they reached to the bleachers, half of students cheered as the Wondercolts and the Shadowbolts widened their eyes at this sight : a holographic like virtual arena with the place become a ruin crater. From the battle, six armored humans firing their weapons at each other. Some got into covers of a wreckage ship while the opposing team spot an alien ship dropping in aliens and firing their weapons at them. The opposing team return fire while dodging the array of the alien's plasma weapons. The same for Charlie Horse as they leap out of their hiding spot and begin charging towards the battlefield, gun blazing.
"Who are those?" Principal Cinch, taking interested at them.
"Those what our students would become by pushing themselves to the limit and become our core of the academy : Spartans." Smokeshot explained as Master Chief slide down and fire a shotgun at the opposing team member.
"Spartans?! You mean as in real Spartans from Halo?!" Indigo Zap asked as he nodded.
"But how can you create those based on a video game? Such as those armors would take years to perfected it?" Human Twilight asked.
"It's a secret." Smokeshot said as Charlie Horse made to the base and Cog fire a Spartan laser, destroying the core as all of them escaped from the enemy base as it exploded.
"Enemy Base destroyed. Charlie Horse wins. Game Over." a announcement was heard as the virtual area dissipated, returning to a white screen as the enemy team got back up as Commander Iron Will came out, the Spartans saluted him.
"Well done, Spartans. You've done a splendid job on the battle. " he glanced at Charlie Horse "Charlie Horse, as usual you continue to surprise me with your tactics." then to the other team, Osiris "And Osiris, you did a good job, however, you're closer to being in the same league as them. I expected for you and the others to keep improving. Dismiss, Osiris."
"Sir. Yes, sir." all of them said as Osiris leave the area with Charlie Horse staying Commander Iron Will look up to the bleachers and saw the Wondercolts and the Shadowbolts. He looked at Smokeshot as a nodded, he take them down to the area.
"I taken that you're surprised to see the Spartans in action."
"Yeah, it's very............unique to say the least." Principal Celestia remarked.
"Anyway, I would like to meet one of the best Spartans teams that'll be competing in the Warzone event. The Core of Iron Will Solider Academy's best team, Charlie Horse."
"Charlie Horse?" Princess Twilight cocked her head in confusion.
"Yes, they're the first Spartan team to formed along with the other team you saw before, Osiris to be the second." Commander Iron Will said. "From Charlie Horse, the Bloodhound, Spartan Blood -112, Dead Eye," point the red female Spartan "the silver one is known as The Assaulter, Spartan Chrono -113, Cogs" pointed the silver Spartan "the Heavy Tank of Charlie Horse, Spartan Scorpion -114, Stinger" point the brown Spartan "the white one is called by many names but one suited for her, Spartan Skull -115, Ghost" point the white female Spartan "this one known to be the second in commander, Spartan Spade -116, Joker" point the purple Spartan "and finally, the captain and commander of the team, Spartan Everest - 117, Master Chief 2.0"
"Wait, Master Chief 2.0? Why calling him that?" Sour Sweet rudely asked but that doesn't phased him.
"He's known to be the successor of the original Master Chief." Commander Iron Will said as Sunset and both Twilights glanced at the green Spartan who only glanced with the gold visor.
"In any case, I hope that one of you teams will be strong before stand a chance to face them. Tomorrow, you will be trained under of my commanding officers before the match starts in about 5 days before the tournament start. Smokeshot, show them to their guest rooms."
With a nod, Smokeshot lead them out of the area but not when the Rainbooms glanced at Charlie Horse.
Once the room is empty, Commander Iron Will turned to them "Charlie Horse, you may go rest now. I'll report you on the new power that Spectre gave you by tomorrow."
With a nod, they headed back to the room, but not when Master Chief 2.0 stopped a bit and looked back at the hallway seeing the Wondercolts then headed out.
"And here is the guest rooms for the Wondercolts and the second is one the right, Shadowbolts." Smokeshot open the door as inside, it was similar to a military cabin but technological as each have their own bunk rooms.
The Wondercolts head to their own bunk beds as all of them set their own stuff down as the rooms begin to dimmer.
Both Twilights and Spikes laid on the bed as they glance up at the wall.
"I just don't get." Human Twilight said.
"What do you mean, Twilight?" Her human counterpart asked.
"The Spartans. It's scientific impossible for humans to achieve that advanced technology based on the game. And if they would do that, it would take thousands of years to create it."
"I know what you mean, but I felt something about them that making me feel......"
"Unnerved?" Equestria Spike said as she nodded.
"Yeah, I felt there's magic involved too but, something more, something even more dangerous than the ones we fought before."
"You mean dark magic that the Sirens once used?" Sci Twilight asked as her pony counterpart nodded.
"Do you think that they're using magic as some kind of energy batteries?"
"I don't know. Even with magic that me and my friends know back at Equestria, there's some that even we don't know of. Power is something that can be used wisely or in wrong hand, frighten."
Sci Twilight looked down as some of her memories as her alter ego still lingered as Canine Spike spoke, snapped her out of her memory lane.
"Twilight, you all right?"
"Oh, um" she glanced at them "Yeah, I'm fine. We better get some sleep for tomorrow."
The others nodded as they laid on their bed as Human Twilight removed her glasses and put it on a lamp post and went to a deep sleep.
