My little pony : Mirror Spell

Ship of the Creeps and rising Red Mind

"Here we are. Your old-new home." said fox man who just opened the steel sliding door with some complex number on them. His human companion didn't say a thing until he saw the small sculpture of a young thenory girl sitting on the nightstand right next to the bed.

"Hey, you still have her. I thought Scarfix has noticed you having it and stolen it for his twisted collection." said the human with a slight gleam of joy in his voice. Thenory man just smiled over his enthusiasm and said "Unpack your things and meet me at the deck sixty. We can hang out a bit and then do the star analyses. Is that cool?".

Before human could say anything, his shoulder was grabbed by a tight, cold grip.

"I saw you already helped yourself with our hospitality." then the newcomer turned to thenory, "May I borrow your friend for a while?"

"Sure." replied the fox. Human wondered what happened. Last time he had met Scarfix, he was cruel and cold-blood. What made him change so much?

When the human and robot crossed the central area of the ship, Scarfix finally spoke up.

"You wonder what made me change, huh?"

Human was taken by surprise by this sudden question, so he could only smile uncomfortably and whisper something with no sense under his breath.

"We are connected, you know. The Accandon System this ship's running on is linked to all A-tools in the whole empire. And since you have one of these devices on you, I can easily tell what you're thinking about." smirked Scarfix when he saw the expression on the human's face, then he quickly added, "But don't you worry about your secrets, I am no stalker, nor mind creeper. I might have used to be one, but not anymore. Love can do miracles, you know."

Now, the human had to shook his head in disbelieve. Scarfix is in love? Is that even possible?

"Love?" he asked, decided to not let go off the topic, until he got the straight and honest answer.

Scarfix smirked again, the pale blue skin stretching under the metal mask, forming the scary, awkward smile. "Yes, my dear follower. That's the reason we're going to Equus. She's living there."

So, this whole trip through the half of the galaxy is only by reason of meeting some weird alien, Scarfix has fallen for. Usual stuff the adult man has to deal with every day, nothing out of charts and norms.

Scarfix seemed to decide to not notice the light blush on the face of his almost-friend. He just did what he had to.

"Anyway, I am not here to mumble about my personal crush. I am here to give you something you've inherited from your father. I've been looking for it for almost two years now, because it's unique piece, maybe the only one left in the whole galaxy. And it belongs to you. "

Now that particularly long sentence caught the human's attention. Well, it wasn't as hard as it may sound. Every time someone mentions his long lost father, he is practically staring into your soul so he can learn something new about his origin. Scarfix seems to not care about glare the human is giving him right now, if it's caused by his synthetic brain or something, who cares anyway.

"Come with me." said the android, leading human deeper into the ship.

"We've been collecting pieces and putting it back together for way too long. It's a masterpiece Thenory Hardware made and if it's in working state, a lot of people would like to have it for themselves." said robot and then clapped his hands together, making scratching sounds when two steel gloves met. The lights flickered and revealed something massive hanging from the ceiling.

IT WAS AN ARMOR.

But not some ordinary marine armor, this was the historical power armor used by soldiers from Tubular special units. There were legends about the only one left, about the one only that survived the explosion of nuclear device back on a planet these suits were called after - The Tubular.

The young man would never even think or believe these suits existed; more less that one belongs to his father. But the legend was proved to be the truth by this, didn't it?

"Climb in, the suit itself responds to only its owner or the person with similar DNA sequence and since you are directly related to person who had worn this beauty before, I think we should be fine."

Human didn't protest, why he should say a word against the order. This armor belongs to him now. He slowly approached the hanging massive and touched the monitor to lower the suit down so he could easily climb in as the android told him before.

The gloves of the armor, forged from an unknown mix of alien metals embraced his hands tight, like they were meant for him personally. The same thing happened with the rest of the armor; every piece just adjusted itself before locking its location. In a while, human's whole body, except for his head, was covered in a thick layer of steel-like material.

"Reconfiguration in progress." said the cold voice, probably belonging to a suits AI. Human blacked out, when the massive wave of energy hit his neural system.

IS THIS THE END?

"I am asking you a simple question and I am also expecting a simple answer?" said the purple unicorn mare walking beside the smaller blue unicorn, the mare as well.

Who is paying a good attention already knows I am talking about Twilight Sparkle and Trixie Lulamoon. You may ask why I call them by their full names. Well, I just like how they sound, that's it.

Anyway...

"Are you sure we are going the right way? Cause I remember this tree, it has these bluish flowers on it."

Trixie hesitated, taking noisy, deep breaths before answering, not entirely in the clear way, upsetting Twilight even more. "Maybe?"

"Ugh. We will never find Fluttershy this way. Oh, come on Trixie, stop being dumb and think."

It was a long ago Twilight actually insulted someone, but this time it was almost necessary, or she thought it was.

"I am truly sorry, Twilight, but these woods just looks all the same, besides, I don't remember the place that clearly." said the smaller mare, with an apologetic smile on her face.

Twilight's anger disappeared immediately after she saw that smile, she didn't know why and she didn't even care. It happened twice already, but she didn't have the energy to start some scientific research on the topic. So, she just smiled back and stated:" Well, we can always try the reversal spell."

Twilight's horn flashed with bright light, covering Trixie's in white, energetic cover. The spell worked on the first try, of course. Twilight Sparkle was the master of magic and every unicorn in the Equestria was jealous of her skills, including Trixie herself. That was one of the reasons why Trixie decided to do and learn magic under her guidance, not like before when she was learning this powerful art alone.

"Well, I can't say the reverse spell helped me too much, your magic casting's total chaos, I am able to understand only a half of it, but I think I know what we did need to know. Follow me." Twilight said.

It didn't take way too long to Trixie to break the silence again.

"Why we haven't done this before? It would be much easier, don't you think Twilight?"

Twilight let out loud sigh." Well, you are right, it would be much easier this way, but I wanted you to figure out we needed to use the reverse spell. You didn't pass the test, Trixie, so that means no more Void spells for some while. We need to sharpen your skills in basics before we try them out again, I don't want any more disasters like this one, are we clear?"

Trixie sighed as well, do she has a choice? Would she even stand a chance against Twilight in argument? She didn't want to ruin their friendship so she rather stayed quiet and accepted her fate. Transmutation spells are not that bad, besides, she's already mastered them, so it won't take long before she gets back to a Void spells again.

Both mares have left again, accompanied by one another and enjoying their magic related talk once again. It might not look like it, but they were both happy, enjoying their life in their own way.

But the happiness was not supposed to last forever. Not when something like the alien invasion was coming, at a really fast pace. Was there any way to safe their happiness?

Do you really ask this kind of question? It's a fairy tale; everything will end up in good way eventually. Just wait and see...

Just wait...

Be Patient!
