Chapter One Silver Wings

"You almost ready Twilight?" Sunset had been standing next to the portal tapping her foot to an invisible beat. She had decided to wear her normal outfit, Her leather jacket hugged her and kept her warm in the winter air. It was around two weeks before Christmas and the snow had already lightly powdered the ground. She probably would have worn more, but knowing that she was about to get a full coat of fur had changed her mind. Pondering about that she wondered if her jacket would even stay on her, from what Twilight had told her she ended up with clothes when she came through the portal, and she could vaguely remember something similar years ago when she first came through.

"Yeah almost! I'm just making sure I have all my notes!" Twilight scanned the insides of her bag before giving a nod of approval. Closing her bag she looked to Sunset. "So you said I most likely will show up as a pony right?" at a nod from Sunset she continued. "Then shouldn't we enter the portal walking on all fours?

Sunset shook her head "trust me no matter what way you'll enter you're going to land on your butt." She laughed at the slightly worried look on Twilight's face. "Don't worry you'll be fine I'm sure your pony self will have placed pillows or something.

"I guess your right." looking at the portal she gulped. Mentally preparing herself she looked to Sunset. "Okay I think I'm ready."

"Let's go then, don't want the Princess to worry if we're late." The red haired girl was about to enter the portal but noticed Twilight hesitating. "It'll be fine just wait and see." She gave a reassuring smile and took Twilight's hand. pulling her towards the statue.

Twilight blushed and nodded following Sunset through. A light flashing and the stone rippling around them as they entered. Once through the stone became solid once again. For a moment all seemed normal. Then the portal cracked and shattered.

Sunset and Twilight fell out of a giant stone wall that was covered in moss. The surface rippled as they came through but soon after returned to its solid state. Twilight was the first to get up groaning at the rough landing. She began to look around confusion written on her face. "Um Sunset" She spoke while cautiously glancing around at the trees in front of her "I thought you said the mirror was in her castle? This is a forest." Her curiosity growing she looked up, the trees were hundreds of feet high it was difficult to tell exactly the size but they caused most of the days sunlight to be blocked. The canopy was thick, vines stretched between branches thickly grasping at tree trunks and growing almost everywhere.

The red haired girl looked around as she got up dusting herself off. "I did...." She looked back behind her and inspected the stones surface. Pushing her hand against it to test if the portal was still there, but at her touch all she got was the cold feeling of rock. "This is weird, she said the mirror was in her castles library...." she did a quick look around. "And what else is strange is that we came from here." Gesturing to the wall with and outstretched hand. "The portal is definitely suppose to be a mirror." glancing over she noticed Twilight was walking towards the forest. "Hey wait we don't know whats out there!"

Twilight looked over sheepishly "Sorry I thought I heard something" glancing back around she looked into the forest. Sunset walked over to her and listened. There was a noise, dead leaves crunching and dirt moving.

"Let's check it out maybe we can find someone to talk to, since were not ponies we're probably still in your world." Twilight nodded to her and they walked forward into the jungle.

They had walked for a couple of minutes before they reached a clearing in the trees, the light piecing through was almost blinding. Shielding their eyes as they walked towards its source. Once in the clearing and their eyes adjusted they saw the cause and both immediately stopped moving. Sunset's mind raced, the light hadn't been that strong naturally, it had been reflecting off of something. She gulped trying to make sense of the "something" in front of her.

Twilight for her part only gasped which turned out to be a mistake, the creatures head jerked to the side looking right at them. For a second everything seemed to freeze. "Twilight I don't think we're in your world....." It turned proudly towards them and reared back, opening up it terrifying maw the thing let out roar that shook the trees. Flaring its wings in a display that only could have had one message 'run' . "Run!" Sunset yelled, they bolted and ran back into the trees.

Twilight glanced back, the monster was charging after them but was having trouble getting through the dense forest with its massive size. It roared again in anger and shattered a few of the smaller trees before continuing its chase. The girls kept running at full speed, fear fueling them to go faster than ever before. Twilight saw something out of the corner of her eye and shouted "There!" Sunset looked to see a cluster of trees close together leading into denser forest. They ran down the new path as the creature who had been gaining ground, rammed into the wooden obstacles, yelling furiously as it realized it had lost its prey. Both of them ran for a few more minutes determined to get as much distance as they could from whatever that thing was.

Once they were satisfied they came to a stop falling against the base of a particularly large tree. Panting Sunset put her back against it as Twilight collapsed onto her butt. "What was that?!" Twilight shouted before taking another gasp of air.

"I don't know, I've never seen a dragon like that in Equestria and we aren't ponies but we're definitely not in the human world." She put her head in her hands trying to think. "Something must have happened to the portal, there's no other explanation."

"What would have caused that? The princess was able to go back and forth without any issue!" She was trying to stop panting her body shaking from both fear and exhaustion.

"It must have been during the games..... or maybe when I was evil? The portal was probably slowly breaking and the magic holding it together was stable until now." The former unicorn was trying to wrap her head around what was going on. This was insane!

"Y-You mean this is my faunt?" Twilight had finally stood up, looking over Sunset.

"Twilight we've been over this you didn't know what would happen none of the girls blame you for it and I don't blame you for it, and I don't blame you for this either so stop thinking like that okay? Besides I might be just as responsible if not more so." Twilight tried to argue but the look on Sunsets face said no arguing.

"Fine I'll let you be right for now but this topic isn't over... So whats the plan?"

They could hear the distant sounds of roars and other creatures calls. That probably wasn't the only dangerous thing out there. Above her she could see the sky starting to turn to night and shades of orange and purple coated the clouds. "It looks like its getting dark we should stay here for the night."

Twilight had gotten up finally catching her breath. Nodding her head she asked. "Any idea where we are?" she walked over and sat next to Sunset.

The former unicorn thought for a second trying to make sense of things. "Well most likely we aren't on either of our worlds even if that does sound crazy, as I said before the portal was probably damaged during one of the magic incidents at school , I just hope the other Twilight isn't to worried about us." Sunset sat up straight after saying that a smile on her face. "That's it Twilight! I almost forgot I still have my journal I might be able to contact her!" She reached into her bag pulling out the old journal and a pen. Opening it up and finding her last entry she began to write.

Twilight if you get this me and Human Twilight are probably on a different world, something must have happened to the portal. We're safe for now but this place is dangerous. We'll try to figure out more on our end tomorrow try to do something on yours.

Your friend

Sunset Shimmer

"What do we do now?" Twilight asked from over Sunset's shoulder. Her look of worry was trying to be kicked aside by her attempt at a brave face. Sunset smiled at her friends strength.

"lets get some sleep I brought a blanket in my bag, let's hope by the time we wake up Twilight has gotten our message." She reached into her backpack again putting away the journal and pen and pulling out a silky grey blanket. she sat close to her companion covering them both as much as she could. "And don't worry okay I'm sure everything's going to be fine."

Twilight looked at Sunsets reassuring smile relaxing a little. "I hope you're right." She said leaning up against Sunset.

With Dreadful thoughts in mind they closed their eyes. Listening to the sounds of the forest and the unknown creatures that lurked inside.

Eventually both girls fell asleep as night washed over the forest.

I don't really want criticism because I'm writing this for fun. If your here for the ride I hope you enjoy whats to come.
Declaimer: I do not play Monster Hunter Frontier or Monster Hunter Online, this is one of very few monsters from either that I like the look of. Don't expect many or maybe any more at all from those two games.
Note: If you enjoy those games please continue to do so.
