______________________________________
The eternal blackness of the universe shivered and couple of small shuttles escaped the subspace void with loud 'bang' sound.
The commanding officer of the leading ship called SRS Black beetle was occupied by sipping his coffee and going through some of the news feeds from Earth. Nothing could disturb him right now...
"We need you at the Bridge, captain."
Or he thought nobody would call him. Well, duty calls. Captain took red beret and placed it on the top of his hairless old head. He's getting too old for this kind of drill; he should have retired a few years ago.
"Why did you call me? " He yelped at responsible officer when he arrived to the bridge, the heart of the ship.
"I am sorry; sir, but we have discovered some kind of alien activity in the front of us. Just give me a Sec..." the image changed when officer touched it, "There, it looks like something big. Scouts think it's a planet, more particular, the one GPI group discovered a few years ago."
Captain lowered his head to the screen so he could see the holographic image in better detail.
"By our scans, the surface is suitable for colonization, but sir, the planet is situated deep in the enemy territory, if we try to make a colony here, we could be risking open war with GPI. I would not risk it, sir, with all due respect." added the officer.
Captain thought about it for a while, but then not so suddenly made his mind.
"We will establish new colony here, today, for the glory of every human living under Redmean flag."
And so it started...

Alicorn...
Princess...
The representative of the magic of friendship...
She wasn't prepared for anything like this.
Spike was snoring loudly, but certain purple pony was not able to sleep at all. Too much stuff happened recently and she was still nervous about this whole princess thing, even though her coronation had been a few days ago already.
Twilight knew exactly how her discovery affected Equestria and more specifically, herself.
Spike shivered and wrapped tighter into his blanket. He didn't stop being cute in his own way, even though he had changed so much after these years of her studies here in Ponyville.
Twilight smiled a little and snuggled into her soft bed, trying to get some rest as well.
It didn't take long and Twilight was snoring too, maybe even louder than Spike.
A few hours earlier:
"Don't worry, Fluttershy. You'll be okay." stated the Great and Powerful Trixie, whom was sharpening her skills in the telekinetic magic.
"Look, it's completely safe." said the magician and teleported certain white rabbit few feet forward and back. Fluttershy, terrified enough already, gulped.
"Trixie will be careful, she gives you her word. Just stand still for a while, please."
That last sentence wasn't even needed, because poor Fluttershy was so scared that maybe even a pair of strong work ponies wouldn't be able to move her form right now.
Trixie's horn flashed with great magical light and timid pegasus vanished. Angel Bunny kicked blue unicorn in the leg, because there was no one around to punish him.
"She should be back any second." said Trixie nervously, "Any second."
But, when Fluttershy didn't reappear even after two long minutes, all the hope simply vanished like the yellow mare a while ago.
Fluttershy has been lost...
_______________________________________________________ Somewhere else, much earlier....
"Fluttershy has been lost..." stated someone and one of the shadows changed into eight feet tall android. The one who he was talking to, had been a young man, eighteen or nineteen years old.
"Hey, do you even listen? " Raised android his voice and the man finally looked at him.
"What do you want, Scarfix?" He sounded angry, because the last week was really playing on his temper.
"Have you ever heard about Fluttershy?" asked the robot, his eyes glowing with light blue color, but from the look his friend gave him, he guessed the name Fluttershy was unknown to human.
"Well, I thought your friend Reaper had informed you. You know..."
"WHAT? YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT REAPER?" shouted human, grabbing android by his shoulders. Scarfix shook him of himself and with words 'Calm down, man' he activated holographic interface of his Accandon tool.
Then stated: "Your friend was on an expedition and they found a planet with sentient living forms on its surface. He was shot by his crazy companion, that's the reason why he's never come back home."
"And who's Fluttershy then?"
"I will show you, just hold on a Sec." The interface projector flashed and in front of them appeared a floating transparent image of Earth-like planet. "This planet is called Equus, it's situated in a cluster behind Great red dust rift." said android, "Your friend met with Fluttershy here, when he was trying to understand the culture of the locals."
"And what's up with her anyway? You wouldn't be bothering me for no reason."
Android was not happy, this conversation was not going well. He had to change his attitude.
The problem was solved by him yelling really loud.
"Look man, I am not asking for a favor. You will help me even if you don't want to." he lowered his voice a bit, "Grab your gear and meet me at the airport. You got 10 minutes."
With these words, he disappeared again. The human he left behind just sighed. Yeah, just another regular day.
The thenory pilot was glad that they had taken a break at Earth of all places, because this planet was the jewel of the human empire. He just finished his shopping when Scarfix, the captain of their ship, stormed around him and yelped that they are taking off.
"What happened, captain? I thought we were going to stay here for another week." said fox-humanoid.
"Sudden change of plans, just pack your things and wait for my call." Android disappeared inside of the shuttle. Pilot himself shook his head in disbelieve. What possibly could have pissed him off so much? Well, there was one thing...
"Hey, man! It's me, Lukas." shouted someone from not-that-far-away place.
"Hey, dude...Yeah, didn't I know it was him again, but I would be more pleased to have him as a captain, though." whispered thenory to himself and hive-fived the human, "Do you know where are we going? Captain was pretty secretive about it."
It didn't take human even few seconds to formulate his reply.
"Yeah, man. I've got the exact idea. Have you heard about Equus before? That's where are we going."
"Oh boy..." said the pilot, shadow creeping into his face and color rapidly fading from his cheeks, "This one of all places. Well, you have to know something before we hit the Red Dust system. Never ever take your helmet off. This planet is highly dangerous for every human being. If you lose your oxygen mask, you are dead."
Human again, didn't hesitate to ask further, caught in the conversation topic.
"Scarfix said that there is some sort of sentient creatures living on the surface."
"Yeah, they are called Equustrians; it is wide society of mythical creatures containing griffins, dragons, pegasi, unicorns and changelings. There are lots of stuff you need to be aware of, first of all the atmosphere. It may be breathable, but un-filtered will make you go crazy in less than a few hours. So, be careful. I will tell you the rest on the board. Scarfix is going to be mad with us, if we won't show up soon."
Thenory and human both nodded and disappeared inside the shuttle. After a while, the door on the side of vessel shut close and the ship accelerated up, heading towards the Mother-ship on the orbit of the blue planet.
_____________________________________________________________
"I can't believe you did that WITHOUT ME KNOWING. Are you even aware of the amount of damage you could have caused her? She could end up anywhere on the planet or even further."
Twilight Sparkle was furious, she thought Trixie was responsible mare, but it looked like she made a mistake with trusting her so early.
"I am sorry, Twilight. I didn't know it would have such an overcharge. I tried the spell on the rocks and animals, I thought I could do it right." replied light blue unicorn, hiding her face behind the triangular wizard hat, her eyes full of silver tears.
Well, at least she is able to confess she did a bad thing, thought Twilight, it leaves a good feeling in my chest, but emotions are not going to help us find Fluttershy in any way. Oh, wait a minute, I know what I have to do.
Twilight stopped in her pace so quickly as same as unexpectedly that Trixie bumped into her rear end. Both mares blushed deeply at the awkward situation. First of them realizing what's going on was Twilight of course.
"Hey, look out with that horn of yours. I don't want it in my butthole."
Shouted purple unicorn over the shoulder. The blue one retreated a bit from her, just for calming herself down and to make sure she wouldn't violate his friend's personal space more.
"Sorry. I wasn't paying attention."
"That's your whole problem here, something minor distracts you and you mess things up." continued Twilight with her outburst. She wasn't angry or mad with Trixie. She was sure her less skilled friend didn't do it on purpose. "What were you thinking about when you cast the spell?"
Trixie thought for about a minute, trying to remember all the details correctly. "Well, one particular moment, the picture of the Everfree forest crossed my mind, but it didn't last long."
One of the Twilight's eyes twitched a bit at the amateurishness of Trixie. Did she even read the book on the topic, I sent her a week ago? Then all the tension just vanished. Twilight sighed and said almost calmly:
"Ok, we at least know where to look. You lead, Trixie, because you know what to look for. Now, move!"
Am I shouting again?
