Chapters "Wake up Twilight, it's time to get up!"
Twilight moved her hooves off her face, it was so hard too see. "Rainbow...Rainbow Dash!" she heard her, she swore she heard her. That had to be Rainbow it sounded just like her. "Rainbow Dash, I'm awake! Where are you Rainbow!?" Twilight was beginning to get very frustrated as her sight began to clear and she still could not find her friend. Twilight stood in a world that was all white, the only other color that she could see was the purple of her own hooves.
"Not yet. You're not yet but it's time to wake up, Twi"
"What do you mean? I am awake! Rainbow!?"
"Wake up Twilight, it's time to let go" Rainbow stepped out from the white world as if she had just arrived. Her mane a tangled mess and black streaks under her eyes as if she had been crying for weeks. "You need to wake up Twilight. You need to let go" Twilight tried to get up but she did not have the strength to move. Her legs weren't working she was forced to stay down.
"Wake up, Let go!? What are you saying Rainbow...I can't do that!" The unicorn tried her hardest to get up even tho she still could not force herself to do so. Rainbow walked over and laid down in front of Twi so they were now face to face.
"Twilight, it's time to wake up" Twilight eyes began to fill with tears. she was suddenly filled with sadness and she couldn't it back. Twilight looked Rainbow in the eyes and her lower lip began to tremble as her emotions began to flow.
"Rainbow stop saying that I don't...." At that moment Rainbows lips latched with Twilights and the unicorn's eyes burst to a bright white that filled her eyes. Everything began to disappear as the white world began to turn to black. It was time to wake up.

Twilights eyes slowly open with the smell of metal in her nose, her vision very blurry and it made it very hard to figure out where she was and what was going on. She slowly sat up rubbing the top of her head. Plastic tubes smack together as she moves two of them leading to her nose. "Ughhhhh, what happened? Where am I?" she looked around but it was harder to see still because the walls were shining from the ceiling lights. The room was small and she lay on a table in the center. In front of her was a mirror which she tried to look into from where she was but her sight was still too blurry to see. Twilight rubbed her head once again trying to remember how she got here but she could not grasp it. "Come on!! Think think think" she smacked the top of her head as she thought harder, "How..did..I..GET HERE!!" she flung her head back letting out a loud groan as she still could not grasp her memory. A loud ring from a speaker rang through the room at a constant pitch that made Twilight cover her ears and scream.
"Please stay calm and stay in your bed" the monotone female voice spoke after the ringing stopped. Twilight slowly uncovered her ears, tears in her eyes. That sound hurt her ears so bad she wanted to cry.
"What...Who are you? Why did you do that" she attempted to get out of her bed once again but as she did the sound returned. The sound piercing through her ears causing extreme pain for her. Twilight screamed once again and tears streamed down her cheeks. "Stoooop!!! STOP IT!!!! Please!!" the sound stopped once Twilight was fully on her bed once again.
"Please stay calm and stay in your bed"
......................................................................................................................................................................................................
Twilight lay in her bed with her eyes closed, she hadn't opened them in fear the noise would return. Infact she hadn't even seen how she looks, if she could just get her sight back and look in that mirror she could tell how long she has been here from her appearance. However she was too afraid to open her eyes. That's when the room went black. Pitch black Twilight could not see a thing now. "Come on, work, work, work" she was trying to generate light with her horn but was so scared she couldn't make it happen. She was confused, scared, and alone. "Come on!!" her horn finally lit up like a candlestick in the dark. Was it safe to move? Would that noise return, she didn't know.
Slowly getting off her bed Twilight began to bite her lower lip knowing that noise would return if they knew she had moved, however, it did not return. Twilight smiled as she quickly moved around to find the mirror. She slipped and fell landing face first on the floor, it didn't hurt that bad only causing a slight bloody nose. The tubes attached to her nose was the object preventing her from getting far. they tripped her up and now her nose hurt. Twilight reached for her nose to remove the tubes. "AHHHH!!" her horn dimmed when she saw that her hoof seemed to shined like the walls around her.
"Wha`....What!?" she shook her head as it was dark again she was afraid now to make it bright. "Ugghhh, what was that....was that me? My hoof?" she shook her head again and once again she began to bite her lip. Light began to form on her horn as the truth was revealed about her.
Red lights began to flash in the room as Twilight eyes rolled back into her skull. Doors shooting open as she collapsed there on the floor. Stallions could be heard going on about critical states and yelling at each other to get this and that.
"Give me the needle, NOW!!" one of them screamed and his friend quickly gave it to him. The stallion quickly stuck the needle into Twilight, "Were running out of time, quickly get..." Twilight went out before she could listen any further. She hear Rainbow Dash in her head once again.
"Wake up Twilight. Wake up and let go"
It had been exactly 5 hours since Twilight's collapse and she was still asleep. Luna walked into the control room that was located behind the mirror Twilight was trying to find. "What is the situation, general? What exactly happened here 5 hours ago, can you tell me again?" Luna was wearing a tight suit with a visor over her eyes. The visor turned red and the Stallion she was talking too now looked worried.
"Luna, didn't i tell you twice already?"
"Say it again! Your story ceases to stay straight to me" The alicorn frowns as she taps her hoof on the Stallions control board. "Tell me, General, Who collapsed on the floor and why?" Luna's Visor snapped up into her headpiece she was wearing and the Stallion flinched from it avoiding her eyes.
"Subject 974B, she collapsed from shock that went too critical stage and we had to inject her with Fluid G" He tossed Luna the empty Fluid container and turned to the one way mirror, "Subject Number 974B, Type Frozen, Name Twilight Sparkle" Luna's ears pinned back hearing that name and she quickly looked into the room and pressed her hooves hard on the Glass.
"Twilight....is it really you..I thought you were...." she closed her eyes and a tear fell from her cheek. "Oh Celestia you're alive!" The stallion chuckled and shook his head at her emotions.
"You know this mare? Subject 974B? She dates back to the year of the Elements." Luna looks to the stallion and her visor goes down again making the Stallion shut up.
"i know who she is general, she was my friend at one point. I thought she died in cryosleep" A light on the control room dashboard flashes and the monotone robotic female voice returns.
"Subject awake, please stay calm and stay in your bed" Luna and the general both look to the now awake Twilight Sparkle. Twilight's front hooves were replaced with robotic prosthetics with shiny violet fiberglass exterior. The arms went up too her shoulders and blended with her coat color so she didn't look freaky. She still looked as pretty as she did when her front legs were real.
"What happened to her General?" Luna frowned looking at the robotics Twilight had on. She looked back at her own left hind leg and frowned at the less high tech leg compared to Twilight's. "Explain please" The Stallion rolled his eyes and nodded.
"In some cases of being frozen ponies have woke up with parts of them that died during the process. Twilight here lost both her front legs and they were unusable. However now she can move again with those fused to her." He said this as if he has been practicing the whole thing. Luna raised a brow and let out a long sigh.
"She will never adjust to this world, General, do you realize how much has changed from her time too ours? Any idea how this will affect her mental state?"
"Yeah I do live in this time period, of course I understand. She will be fine with Fluid G flowing through her however."
"Yeah of course she will, Fluid G was designed to control ponies so they don't do anything stupid....brain washer it should be called" Luna rubbed her neck where a circular scar was. "It should have never been put on the market or used on ponies" Seeing Twilight in the state she was made luna want to cry. She looked like a zombie as she stood up. She walked right up to the mirror and tapped on it.
"Hello? Is somepony there? I thought I heard you over here." Twilights eyes were narrowed as she seemed to be focusing on the glass. Luna put her hoof on the glass in front of her face and teared up. Seeing her old friend like this was too hard. Twilight backed away from the glass and sat back in her bed. Luna looked down with her mane now covering her eyes. "Start the procedure, remove her from her cell" The stallion nods and presses five buttons which unlocked a lever which he slammed down. Red lights flashed in Twilight's room as Ponies with gas masks entered the room and pulled her out by force. Twilight was kicking and screaming grabbing at the blankets and plastic tubes on her bed trying to get away.
"Help!! Let go of me!!! Help!!" Twilight continued to scream for help. Luna covered her eyes having never seen something like this happen to a friend. Especially Twilight, she would not last long if she continued to be scared. Crying now she began to shake as they pulled Twilight out of the room and the doors sealed shut. Luna sat there crying harder than she ever has in years and the stallion put a hoof on her shoulder.
"She will be alright now, Well this is where i go. Good luck Luna"
.........................................................................................................................................................................................
Her eyes opened as she looked around, Twilight rubbed her head as she was being carried on a floating stretcher down a large corradoor. She groaned looking at the ponies next to her. Two of the ponies standing on her right looked like doctors the other two were so new too her she could not make out what they were doing here. "What is going on? Where are you taking me" Right after she spoke one of the doctors looked to her. The doctor was a mare, she look younger than Twilight.
"Your on your way to see her Twilight, won't be long now and this will all make sense to you" She had such a soft voice that almost squeaked as she spoke. The back of her head was lightly bumped in the back by the hoof of the stallion doctor.
"Just relax Subject 974B" The stallion then gave a very unpleased glare to the mare across from him. Lowering her head she nods and looks away from Twilight.
"Relax? I can't when i am not even sure what is going on here" Twilight spoke in a very calm voice because Fluid G was still in her body. She felt cold as she wiggled a bit. The sound of two large doors open and two blinding lights now hover over her face. "AHHH!!! That's bright get it out of my face" Twilight started to wiggle more and more from the light.
"Celestia needs her in great condition before she is seen. Let's make this quick Golden Letter" Golden Letter turned out to be the mare who spoke to Twilight Earlier.
"Yes sir, let's get to work right away" they both began to go to work at freshening the unicorn up with water, powders and other things like makeup. It was all ended with an injection to the neck of a blue fluid. Twilight got a look at the canister, it had a G on it. "Alright it is over, shall we get her on her hooves?" The stallion nods to Goldens question and they proceed to stand her up. Twilight got another glimpse at her new front legs and she teared up looking at them but she did not freak out even if she wanted too.
"What happened to me? Tell me...." The doctors ignored her now that she was on her hooves. Twilight grew angry about this, she didn't want to be ignored but never before has she felt this mad. "Tell me NOW!!!" Twilight places her robotic hooves on the Stallion pressing him against the wall. Pressing all his oxygen out of his lungs not knowing her new strength. The doctor passes out and Twilight tosses him into a table and turned to Golden. "Tell me NOW, WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!!??" She grunts walking over to the mare. Golden jumped forward to the table and pressed a red button but was also intercepted by a very angry Twilight. "Tell me!!" Red lights flashed in the room as she held Golden up against a wall.
"You lost your legs!! They died, Please don't kill me!!" She whimpered and kicked her hind legs as tears filled her eyes. Twilight let her go and Golden fell to the floor and gasped for air. The doors fly open and five ponies stand in the doorway wearing black armor.
"Get down NOW!!! Freeze"
"What is going on here!?"
"I said Freeze!!" Twilight stopped and got down shaking as the guards grabbed her and began to hall her the rest of the way to a large set of doors again. One of them punches in a couple numbers and the doors open and they toss her inside. The doors slammed shut and Twilight yelped.
"Hello Twilight" Twilight eyes filled with tears when she heard that voice. Turning around her eyes met the eyes of the Alicorn, Luna. "I see you haven't been behaving yourself. As expected" she giggled and gave Twilight a smile. "After all, you are a prototype"
The stars were shining in her eyes as Twilight stared out the large window, they were so much more vibrant from this angle. She was scared but mostly confused and amazed at what she was seeing. Luna was sitting next to her with eyes closed listening to the loud hum that the room they were currently in was giving off.
"Is it true Luna, I'm...." At that moment a large shuttle shaped craft with blue strip lights layering the bottom zoomed by making the window vibrate slightly. Twilight reopened her eyes and gazed at it fly away, "In Space?"
"This is true Sparkle, for infact it has been awhile since you were last awake"
"But I don't understand how I could sleep for this long, miss all these things." Twilights eyes filled with tears and the tears shined more vibrant as the stars light made them glow. "What is this world? How did we get here? What all did I miss? WHAT.." Luna raises a hoof to silence the young unicorn.
"I understand how this can be a surprise to you but I assure you that you have seen all this before, remember that telescope you had back home. Your time?" Luna smiled trying to lighten the mood. Twilight nodded and looked out the window once again with a long sigh. "Those stars you were looking at, they are all right here"
"But they are so different and bright" Twilight tilted her head and her horn began to glow and make the glass clean in front of her too see them better.
"Better to study and gaze upon" Luna opened her eyes and looked to Twilight with a blank glare.
"What is this place then? This room that I stay?" Twilight looked to Luna putting one of her hooves on the alicorn lightly. "Why are we here instead of home?" Luna shook her head and stood up looking down at Twilight now a red visor slamming down in front of the alicorn's eyes.
"I have said all I can Subject 974B!!" She stomps her hoof in front of her old friend and growls lightly. "All your question are not my responsibility to answer" she presses a hoof on the glass and it darkens making a map appear. The map however was hard to understand for Twilight. In the center was a large colorful ball of light and all around it where smaller circles with circle paths. "This is home, everything on this map" Luna teared up as she closed the map quickly and walked off opening a door. "Stay here, somepony will get you shortly." Twilight lowered her hoof that she had reached out too Luna. She was surprised that Luna called her by that number, it hurt.
"My name is Twilight, you know that" she said to herself and closed her eyes and her horn began to glow white as she relapsed Luna's hoof movements on the glass. Twilight walked over to the position where Luna stood placing her robotics on the glass and began to move her hoof in the way Luna had done. She began to shake as her horn was glowing brighter, she was using her magic to show and copy every tiny movement. shaking she then slides her hoof down the panel and it darkened once again opening the map. "If you won't tell me....I will find out myself" She was guessing as she began to hit some blinking lights on the panel.
Sliding her hoof to the right and releasing it the map zoomed in on the area she had moved her hoof across. Looking at the area Twilight began to study what this all was. Sliding her hoof more on the map she zoomed in more and focused on one of the dots. As it zoomed the dot turned into a map of its own. It was a planet, one she had not seen in her whole life through a telescope. Twilight zoomed out and began hunting down the dots on the map too look at them "What is this place?" She stopped when the door began to open,panicking Twilight slid her hoof on the panel and turned around to see two Stallions that quickly grabbed her and began to drag her away. "No wait, I was looking at that map, wait~!" Twilight looked back and a tear rolled of her cheek when she saw it, the map had zoomed up on Equestria and its moon and that's when the door slammed and sealed shut in front of her face.
..........................................................................................................................................................................
The stallions now slowly walked into a large room, the walls were short but the dome roof was tall. Twilight looked around to try and figure out what was going on. It was clear at this point that most ponies here were not nice and were probably going to hurt her. She rolled her eyes and her horn began to glow. She shoved the stallions away and they stumbled on their hooves. Quickly she then grabbed hold of long elastic tube that was laying on a table.
"Stay away! I don't want anymore trouble" She waved the pole at them as she grasped it with magic. Her eyes were narrowed as her attitude was changing just being awake for a several hours. "I will do it, I will..." the pole then began to glow gold as it was ripped from Twilights grasps.
"Twilight, I am surprised that you have already let this place influence you" The calm voice echoed in Twilight's ears. " Come now faithful student, you mustn't be like them, hmmm?" Twilight turned to see the towering mare before her. The guards rubbed their heads and grunted at Twi and then slowly walked out of the room without prolonging the situation.
"Celestia~! I am so glad you're here~!!" Twilight ran up and hugged her teachers leg. That must mean that everypony is here. Twilight had almost forgot and was ashamed. "Rainbow! Pinkie~! Applejack~! Rarity!" she jumped up and looked around, "Fluttershy~!" The unicorn was really excited now. Her friends, she was going to see her friends. Happy tears filled her eyes, it felt like forever.
"Twilight, Calm Down....Please" Celestia gave a stare and watched as Twilight happily walked around looking for her friends. Celestia was standing waiting for her too calm. "Do you think you're over reacting right now?"
"No, these are my friends. They are everything too me. I can't wait to see them...can i see them now!? Please~!" the unicorn looked up to her teacher with begging eyes. Celestia shakes her head.
"I am afraid you cannot right now, later you shall" The alicorn walked over to a computer and typed in a few numbers too turn on a projector. "There will be time for that later, Twilight" Twilight nods and sits down on the floor looking at her teacher, she was always willing to listen to her.
"Of course Princess, I understand, I guess this is where I know what's going on?"
"Indeed, it is about time you know of Gallika" Celestia continued by typing some more numbers into the computer.
"Gallika? What is Gallika??" At that moment the map Twilight saw earlier appeared floating over the floor all around her. It looked like Twilight was standing in the stars. The colors on this map where greater than the last. A large blue planet floated in front of her face and Twilight reached out to it with wide eyes as it swirled. "W-Whoa~~ it's so beautiful" she touched the 3D image of the blue giant and its named popped up over it. "Trixlu, is that its name? Trixlu?"
"That is one of many planets of Gallika. Our home is Gallika and that is one of planets" Celestia smiled and watched as Twilight walked among the stars. Twilight was truly amazed as she looked to the center of the area the map was. A large yellow sun sit spewing out fire and particles throughout the area around it. Twilight walked slowly towards it with wide eyes. She slowly reached out to it as well and it began to reflect in her eyes. It was the sun she always watched rise back at Equestria but from this view it looked so vibrant and graceful but also destructive.
"It's the sun, your cutie mark, your meaning" Twilight said laying her hand on it. "It's beautiful...." The unicorn teared up as this world began to make her warm inside. "G-Gallika, Gallika is my home..." she said as her tears began to clear up. Celestia smiled and Luna walked in with a lowered head. She raised it with a smile to see Twilight beginning to warm up too this place, Gallika. Celestia looked to her sister and gave a quick shake of the head and Luna frowned.
"Twilight there is something else you must know..." Celestia turned off the projector and the map that had made Twilight happy burst into particles that floated into vents around the room. Twilight almost fell over for the sun she was so enchanted with had gone away. "Something very important" As the Alicorn said this a robotic Sphere floated in and began to open up revealing a suit, a violet suit. It looked lightly armored and appeared to be the same size that Twilight was, slightly bigger for room. Twilights eyes widened and Celestia walks over slowly. "This is for you, it's for battle, for protection"
"W-What!! Battle? Protection?" She stepped back and shook her head now refusing. This was a drastic change in subject and it terrified her. "No I refuse, Princess" She backed up too the door and Luna began to bite her lower lip as she saw her sister Celestia shake her head walking to Twilight.
"You were frozen, frozen for thousands of years and you think you have the right to say no!? NO!!" the large alicorn flares her wings and glares down at Twilight as she now became blunt and aggressive. "Your friends!!" Lunas eyes widened.
"No sister!! Don't say it!! She isn't ready!!!" Luna shook her head fast rushing over to her Sister.
"They are dead!!" Celestia said with a angry grunt escaping her throat. Twilight's happiness now rushed out of her and she fell to her knees and put her front hooves over her eyes and began to cry. sinking lower and lower to the floor she cries. Luna stopped and lowered her head.
"Nooo! no, no, no, noooo~" Twilight coughed and began to shake with sadness. This world that had just lightened up for her turned into blackness within her head. Nothing could replace them....her friends.
