Previous Chapter

Roy tosses and turns, he feels warm and tired, his eyes dart open and he awakes in a strange room. Roy notices he’s in a bed, wrapped up in covers and bed sheets. He looks around the room as he notices the walls and furniture are fancy and expensive looking.

Roy gets up out of the bed, see a window and looks outside but he can’t figure out where he is. Outside was a city of colorful ponies, each of which were acting like humans with their shops, markets, and utilities. Roy backs away from the window with a confused look on his face as he pieces what happened yesterday together. He remembered fighting a bug monster and her army with a lot of pony folk around.

“Oh man, i thought all that was a trippy dream...i guess it’s not.” Roy now remembering what happened.

He looks around the room and the objects inside then he heads to the large wooden door. He stop right before the door when he heard hoof steps and quickly runs back into the bed with an innocent look on his face.

Twilight enters the room to check to see if this strange creature had awoken yet. She notices he is wide awake in the bed and asks if he is okay. Roy is really confused at first on how to address this situation, but then sees it’s the purple unicorn that was in the room during the fight with the bug monster.

“I’m fine, I guess...I have to admit, I’ve never seen a real purple unicorn before.”

“Oh, are their no ponies from where you are from?”

“There are but...it's complicated...anywho i guess I’ll introduce myself. I'm Roy Tyson, also know a Chroma Red of the Chroma Squad.’

“I am Twilight Sparkle, student of Princess Celestia who is one of the rulers of Equestria.”

“So i guess it’s time for the questions...You can go first Twilight.”

“Thank you...so what are you for starters.”

“I’m a human...going to take a wild guess that this isn't my planet.”

“So you're an alien?”

“Haha...i guess i am.”

“So why did you come to Equestria and our planet?”

“Ah now that's a question i would like to find the answer to myself...I have no idea how i got here, just woke up on a road leading to this city.”

“Oh…”

“It’s fine...not the craziest thing that's happen to me.”

“Another question is what is ‘Chroma Squad’?”

‘It’s a team of me and my best friends who have great powers that we use to defend the Earth from evil.”

“Oh, are you like a superhero?”

“Well..ya actually.”

Just then Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadence walked into the room.

“We heard this conversation from outside and we would like to tell you something.” Luna said.

“Ah...ok”

“Both me and my sister, as well of all Canterlot and Equestria would like to thank you for your aid during that business with the changelings. Thanks to your help we were able to use our magic to send the changelings away.” Celestia said.

“I would also like to thank you as you helped save not only the city, but your help allowed me to save the pony I love from that evil Changeling Queen you fought.” Cadence said.

“Oh, it was no problem...all in a day's work.” Roy commented.

With the thank you of the princesses now doen. Celestia had a servant bring in some food for Roy. Celestia tells Roy that she had doctors examine him for any injuries during which they told Celestia Roy was an omnivore to which all the food boguth to him was a mix of fruits and fish. Roy quickly ate his fish dinner as he noticed how hungry he was after all that fighting.

Just then…

“Roy? Roy can you hear me?” Roy quickly pulled out his communicator.

“Simon, is that you?”

“Thank god you're ok Roy. Do you know where you are?

“Well that a long and somewhat odd story…”

“Wait, i can track your location from my computer….what?! you on the other side of the galaxy!” Roy and the ponies around him were surprised by this.

“Simon, i have no idea how i got here, does Cerebro know anything?”

‘I’ll run it by him...still glad you ok, i’ll let the others know too.”

Twilight walked up to Roy with a question. “Is Simon part of the Chroma Squad too, and who is Cerebro?”

“Simon is Chroma Blue in the squad along with...Flashy who is Chroma Yellow, Diana who is Chroma Pink, Wilma who is Chroma Black, and Tammy who is Chroma Six...as for Cerebro, well he is our guide and mentor who helped us save the Planet Earth from evil aliens.”

“They sound like great friends.”

“They are...i just hope they can figure this out.” Just then the other ponies, Twilights friends entered the room and introduce themselves. The communicator came on as Twilight was getting her friends up to speed on the situation.

“Roy...this is Cerebro, i believe you teleported to your current location due to a system error in the transportation systems. We fix it but it seems that we can’t get you back the same way as the magical energies of that planet are interfering.”

“That not good…”

“However...what is odd is that the magic of the planet is allowing us to send to you your Chroma Armor and Weapons as well as the Meta-Mecha, however we cannot send the your teammates there..

“That really wierd, Cerebro.”

“If i had to guess your transportation was no accident after all...some greater power has arranged it for unknown reasons. I want you to stay vigilant as Me and Simon will try and bring you home...Cerebro out.” Roy sat on the bed with a confused look on his face.

‘Don’t worry about it. I sure your friends will find a way.’ Twilight said.

“Thank you Twilight.”

WIth that done Roy meet and greeted Twilight’s friend and ate a grand dinner befitting a hero.

Meanwhile Above the Planet Equis...

A large dark blue metal spaceship was setting just above the atmosphere. It was a mountainous craft shaped like a Cube and adorned with light blue glowing mystic runes from various corners of the galaxy on its hull. Inside the command room of this fantastic ship were various machines, creatures and monsters from even more varied parts of galaxy.

They keeped the ship running at peak efficacy as their master was working on his special project. At the viewing platform was a man-like creature...he wore a dark black outfit with red trimmings on it, a black as night cape, and his nightmarish red eyes stared at the planet below as he talked to himself.

“Soon…”
