My Little Gundam Wing: Friendship is Gundamby ShadowWalking18ChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Five New Ponies ConfirmedChapter 1This is...something new, and I got the idea after seeing some pictures on Deviant Art, by SapphireGamgee. Any pictures you see here is done by her and she desreves pretty much ALL the credit for inspiring this fic. I hope you all like it as I really found the idea to be interesting. It has been years since the events of After Colony 196 and the rebellion of colony L3 X-18999. Under the guidance of Relena Darlian, and after her death, Mariemaia Khushrenada, the earth and the colonies have remained in peace, and now another year passes in this continued and everlasting peace. But, this year is not simply a continuation, but is also the time for endings. As the sun slowly sets to mark the end of a day, it also marks the end of five pilots, who fought for all their lives to keep the peace on earth. Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatra Raberba Winner, and Chang Wufei. As these pilots pass into their final judgement, they would soon find themselves in a very strange and new world. Duo slowly opened his eyes, and was greeted with darkness. He blinked and looked around, still only seeing darkness. "So....this is death huh?" Duo said to himself. The God of Death crossed his arms and looked around once more, "Well...this is boring. I thought hell would be more....firey." Suddenly he felt himself fall into the darkness, at an increasening speed. "Ahhh!" He screamed as he fell, and fell...and fell. "This is a long fall." Duo said, now waiting for when he would hit the bottom and enter into the pits of hell. If that was where he was going. Suddenly, he stopped. Duo blinke and looked around. Looking at the ground he saw his reflection. He now looked as he did when he was seventeen. Duo smirked and admired himself. "Well at least I'll look good when I get to hell. If I ever get there." Duo said. He looked around again and spotted a light in the distance. Seeing nothing else except darkness in every other direction, Duo began to walk towards the light. The ground beneath him rippling like water with each step. As Duo stepped into the light, his vision was blinded for a second. When he could see again he found himself standing in a small room, a lounge to be exact. Two couches sat in the middle, surrounding a small coffee table. But what surprised him the most were the four people sitting on the couches, who looked back at him with equal surprise. "Quatra? Heero? Trowa? Wufei?" Duo said looking to each individual gundam pilot. "Duo. So you came here as well." Quatra said, smiling slightly glad to see another friend. "Seems the gang is all here." Trowa said, smirking slightly at the coincidence. Heero looked up, his face expressionless and said, "Where is here?" "I'd say death. We did die after all." Wufei said as he sat in meditation on the sofa, next to Heero. Duo looked around, "I don't know about you Wufei, but I was kinda thinking that death would have been...well...more spacious." Duo gave a grin as he finished. As the five tried to determie their location in the afterlife, they heard a someone chuckle. "Did you hear that?" Quatra said as he looked around. The rest of the pilots were silent as they listened, the chuckling continued. "Oh this is perfect. You five are just perfect." A voice said. "Whose there! Come out and show yourself" Duo said, as he tried to find the owner of the voice. "Okay, if you want." The voice said, and in a sudden flash of light something appeared before the five gundam pilots. "What the.." Trowa said, unsure of what he was seeing. Before them stood a tall....thing. It had the head of a horse, but a goats beard and a deer antler on the right and a goat horn on the left. One fang was longer then the rest, and had varying sized pupils. It's body was long and slender, almost like a dragons and had a right arm that looked like a lions claw, and a left arm that was the claw of an eagle. The right leg was that of a lizards and the left was a goats leg. In addition it had one bat wing and one bird wing and a snakes tail. "The heck are you? A hollywood reject?" Duo asked with a raised eyebrow. "Now I've seen everything." Wufei said looking at the strange creature with slight disgust. Heero was just silent as he looked at the creature with a mixture of curiosity and uncertainty. "Well, here I am. Tea anyone?" The creature said before a cup of tea appeared in his claw and each of the pilots hand. "Whoa!" Duo said in surprise as he held the small cup of hot tea. Could he even drink this if he was dead? "Um....sir..," Quatra began slowly, unsure of how to proceed with this strange and obviously powerful creature, "if I might ask. Who are you?" What was he, Quatra thought as well. "Hmm, oh me," the creature said as he sipped his tea, or...perhaps more precisely the cup, "oh no one. My name is Discord, and you are?" Quatra was surprised by this strange creature, as well as the strange way in which the cup had been drank instead of the tea. He, and all the rest of the pilots set their cups down, and he said, "My name is Quatra Raberba Winner." "Duo Maxwell." Duo said, pointing a thumb at himself with a smirk. "Trowa Barton." Trowa said simply, keeping his face expressionless. "Heero Yuy." Heero said simply. "Wufei." Wufei said. Discord chuckled, "Well I guess you are all probably wondering what you're doing here." Quatra noddded, "Yes. We were sure we had all passed away, and we are sure we did, though this place...is certainly a strange for of afterlife." "Yeah, kinda boring actually." Discord laughed, "Well I wouldn't worry about it for too long. You'll be back and about in a few moments here." "What do you mean by that?" Trowa asked. A clock suddenly appeared in Discords claws, "Oh look at the time. Time certainly does fly," the clock grew wings and flew off disappearing in a puff of smoke, "when making chaos. See you all soon." Before any of the gundam pilots could say anything, Discord snapped a finger and everything was soon engulfed in a blinding flash of light, before everything went dark again. All the pilots could hear was the fading sound of Discords laughter. *Play this* Well thats a beginning chapter. Hoping this gets some likes, know that this is going to be a very difficult project, mostly cause its something I've never done before. Still...I shall try to give you all a good, and funny fic. Enjoy and please do leave a comment on how it is and if it needs any work on parts, I really want this to be a well loved fic :) Chapter 2Another chapter. Slowly, the five gundam pilots began to stir. Their conciousness returning after the sudden flash of light after their meeting of the strange creature named Discord. The sound of birds singing, and the gentle feel of a light breeze blowing against them were the first things that they registered. "What the?" Duo said as he opened his eyes, but immediatly closed them as the sudden light of the sun greeted him. The god of death could hear his friends near him, also stirring from...whatever had happened. Duo slowly opened his eyes again and looked around. They were in a forest, trees surrounded them, save for a small opening in the tree line that allowed the sun to gaze down on them. A small pool of water glistened in the light. "Where are we?" Duo heard Quatra say. Everything seemed....bigger. More brightly colored, and he...felt....odd. "I don't know but..." Duo stopped mid sentence as he looked toward his friend. 'What in the hell...' Duo thought as his mind registered what he was seeing. There, before his very eyes stood a winged....horse. Pegasi if he remembered his mythology. One was pure white, with a mane and tail in a style similar to how Quatra had his hair, it even had the same platinum blond color as well as same blue eyes. Of course what was odd for this white pegasus was that it also had a horn, and a strange five jewel design on the flank. One jewel was surrounded by four others, one green, blue, red, and the last yellow. Behind these five gems was a star burst symbol. "Ugh...that was unpleasant." Duo looked with wide eyes to where he heard Trowa's voice and saw another pegasus, only without the horn. This one had a tanish sort of coat, brown colored mane and tail identically styled in the same way Trowa's hair was, and green eyes. This pegasus had a half clown mask symbol on its flank. "I think the real question is not where are we, but what are we now?" Duo turned and saw two other pegasus, one a solid dark green with prussian blue eyes and a dark brown mane and tail, again like the rest styled in a very similar pattern, this time like Heero's hair. It had a symbol of a gun on it's flank, with pure white feathers behind it. The other was a dark blue color, with a black eyes and hair that was styled similarly to Wufei's hair. On this one's flank was a picture of a red chinese dragon. It also had two gray wrist bands on it's front legs. "What the....Heero? Wufei?" Duo said, which drew the four pegasi's attentiont to him. They all gave him a wide eyed and surprised look. "Uh....Duo?" The Quatra look alike horse said. "Quatra?" "You might want to look in the pool of water over there." The Wufei looking pony said. Duo blinked and slowly took a few steps over to the pool of water and gazed at his reflection. The sight caused him to gasp. Duo...he was still Duo right? He was also a pegasus, only his coat was pure black. He was also wearing a small gold necklace with a cross at the end of the chain. His mane and tail were the same color as his hair had been when he was...normal, and both were styled in the same way he had kept his hair when he was alive and...well...not a horse. On his flank he had a picture of a scythe, his Deathscythe Hell's thermal energy scythe to be exact. 'Well....at least mine is cooler.' He thought, of course that thought was soon replaced by another. One that he vocalized. "What the hell!?!" Duo yelled. It took sometime to calm Duo down. Needless to say he had been...slightly surprised. "What the hell happened to us!?!" Duo screamed. "Duo! Just calm down for a moment." Quatra said, trying to calm his friend down. "Calm! How can any of us be calm right now!? We've turned into.....winged..horses!" Duo said as he began to hyperventillate. Heero rolled his eyes and walked over to the panicing pilot and slapped him across the face once. "Owwww." Duo said as he rubbed where he got hit. "Panicing won't fix this. So just take a deep breath and calm down." Heero said simply. "Alright, just don't hit me again. That hurt." Duo said. "If you felt it," Trowa said, "Then we can assume that you're not dreaming, and no doubt the rest of us are not as well." "So if we arn't dreaming, then where are we? And why are we horses?" Duo asked. "That is a good question. We were dead, though I don't know if we can say that we still are if we are able to experience pain." Quatra said as he rubbed his chin with a hoof. "Perhaps that creature Discord had something to do with this." Wufei said with a hint of irritation in his voice. "Perhaps, though how and why I'm still not sure about." Quatra said. "The guy made tea appear out of nowhere and then drank the cup." Duo said, still feeling wierd about all that was happening. "Well, let's go over what we already know." Heero said, "We were dead, but now suddenly we are alive again." Trowa nodded, "A bizarre and strange circumstance. Death is one thing, but sudden reincarnation in this way seems out of the ordinary." "If we were reincarnated, we wouldn't have any knowledge of our past lives. Yet I can remember everything clearly." Wufei said. Quatra nodded, "As do I." Duo, Trowa and Heero agreed as well. All five of them could remember their final hours when they were human, and the events that lead to their current situation. "So that Discord fellow turned us into flying horses." Duo said, looking at his new form once more. "Pegasi to be exact, thought..I don't know what I am." Quatra said as he looked at his own reflection. "Yeah, don't think pegasi had horns." Trowa said with a raised eyebrow. "Does it hurt?" Duo asked, poking the horn. "No," Qatra said, "but the poking is slightly irritating. Could you please stop." Duo stopped and gave a goofy grin, "Sorry." Quatra smiled lightly, "Don't worry about it." "Well, I think we should try to determine our location." Heero said. "Right. We should try to find some high ground to get us above the tree line." Quatra said. "Why don't one of us climb a tree and..." Duo began, but stopped from the looks he was getting from his fellow pilots. Duo grinned and rubbed the back of his head, chuckling uneasily, "Oh right...don't think we could climb a tree like this huh." "Let's move out then." Heero said, as he began to walk off into the woods. The rest of the gundam pilots followed. As they walked, they all were surprised by how easy they were adapting to their new bodies. Which was odd, considering that walking on four legs was alot different to walking on two. "Hey, anyone else wondering how we arn't having any trouble with these new bodies?" Duo asked. "It is odd. But, everything about what has happened is." Trowa said, casting a few glances to the left and right. "Perhaps when Discord brought us here, he imparted the motor skills for the new forms he gave us. Though I still do not understand how he did it. What type of being would he have to be to be able to do such things?" Quatra said, pondering on the thought. "Whatever he was, and whatever his reasons I don't think they were for our benefit." Wufei said. Heero nodded, "Agreed. He probably has something planned for us." Duo smirked, "Well if he does he's gonna be a bit disappointed. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not really one for taking orders from some sort of goat serpent thing." Suddenly all five of the pilots stopped and began looking around. They all felt something coming closer, towards them. "We're being watched." Trowa said. "Know what it is?" Duo asked as he looked into the woods. A low growl, and the sudden appearence of several glowing yellow eyes. "Wolves." Heero said. The wolves stepped from the shadows and growled, teeth bared and ready to strike. Of course this was not what caught the pilots by surprise. It was what the wolves were made of. They were made of wood. "Uh...those are wolves right?" Duo asked, looking at the wolves. One of the wolves snarled and charged, going into hamstring Trowa. But the acrobatic gundam pilot easily side stepped the attack and then quickly kicking the wolf in the head, sending it to the ground. "Whatever they are," Trowa said, "they are trying to eat us." Seeing their companion down, the rest of the pack charged, going in for the kill. The pilots were ready, and years of combat training and experience kicked in. *Play for awsome fight music* Wufei landed a swift round house kick into an attacking wolf, sending it flying. Heero punched another directly in the snout, wood cracking and shattering from the blow and sending the wolf staggering back in pain. "How can wolves made of wood be walking around. Let alone feel pain?" Duo asked as he dodged the snapping jaws of a wolf and gave it a hard kick into the throat. 'Ya know these hooves sure are useful.' He thought as he kicked another wolf. "I don't know, but it might be connected with Discord." Quatra said as he dodged a wolf that got close to getting its teeth into his back leg. 'I'm sorry,' Quatra thought as he gave the wolf a sharp kick in the head, 'please forgive me.' Seeing more of their pack members taken down by the group of five ponies, the wolves quickly turned tail and ran, unwilling to attempt to take down such dangerous pray. Any injured that remained soon got up and took after their pack, and leaving the five pilots turned ponies behind. "Wolves made of wood. What's next, bears made of stars?" Duo said to himself. "This is a strange place, wherever we are." Quatra said. Trowa nodded, "We should get moving again. Who knows what else could be lurking near by." The pilots continued through the forest, keeping an eye for any more strange and possible dangerous creatures. They met no other attacks, and instead of a hill or place to get them above the tree line, they found themselves at the edge of the forest. Steppng out of the trees, they were greeted to a surprising and yet comforting sight. It was a cottage, a sign of civilization. But what was odd about this cottage was the numerous numbers of various small bird houses and other forms of shelter for animals of varying sizes that dotted around the cottage. There was even a chicken coop and a path way leading away from the cottage, and to a town they could make out in the far distance. "Hey, looks like there's civilization after all." Duo said, glad to see the cottage. "We should proceed carefully," Quatra said as he smiled lightly at the cottage, it seemed to peaceful. "Agreed, we don't know if these new bodies of ours are a common sight or not. Let alone if we can communicate with whoever lives here." Heero said. "Whoever lives here sure likes animals. I've never seen so many rabbits and doves and well....all of these things in one place, let alone where someone lives." Duo said with surprise. The group made their way towards the cottage, Heero and Duo kept low and slowly peeked in through a window. The interior of the cottage seemed to radiate comfort and cozy. But was surprising was that there were even more animal houses inside the cottage, as well as several mouse holes. "Who the heck lives here?" Duo said, confused by all the animals that he saw inside the house, and what was even more shocking some of them doing house work. "I feel as if we walked into a disney movie of Snow White." Duo said with a raised eyebrow. Heero kept his usual expressionless face and simply said, "It certainly is strange." Duo and Heero rejoined the others near the front door. Trowa, Quatra and Wufei stood near it, no doubt waiting for an answer to their knock made not one second ago. "Don't think anyone's home. And get this, there are animals in there doing house work, like out of a kids story book." Duo said laughing slightly. The others looked at Duo as if he was crazy, but when Heero confirmed this they blinked in surprise. Everything else aside, the pilots were more and more curious of where they were, and if anything about where they were made any logical sense at all. "Wolves made of timber, and now animals with some semblence of advanced thinking, this place gets stranger by the minute." Quatra said scratching the back of his head. "If no one is here, we should move on then. I'd rather not wait around here." Wufei said casting a glance over to the town in the distance. Quatra nodded, "Perhaps we will meet the owner of the cottage on the path to town. Or meet someone on the way there, it is better then just sitting around." "Sounds like a plan." Duo said and began to walk down the path, the rest of the pilots following. As they drew closer and closer to the town, Quatra could not help but look around at the landscape. Everything seemed so peaceful and tranquil. It brought a smile to his lips; Duo and Trowa could not help but smile at the peace and quiet. Wherever they were it seemed to be lacking in the technology earth had. "Seems odd to know that we arn't even on earth anymore." Duo said as they made their way closer to town. "It is a bit surprising. But this place is very peaceful, and the air tastes so sweet." Quatra said with a smile. "I wouldn't let yourself get caught off guard. We were sent here by an abomination of great power, who knows what could live here." Wufei said. "Hey look there it is." Duo said as they finally reached the edge of town. "Maybe we will find someone who....knows....where we....are...."Quatra said as he and the rest of the gundam pilots looked at what they saw. Ponies. Hundreds of ponies of various colors and types. Some had wings like them, while others had horns. And others, a good deal in fact lacked either wings or horns. And all had markings on their flanks. "Uh...." Duo said. "What the..." Wufei said looking around. "This is most..."Quatra said. "This is wierd." Heero said, with Trowa nodding silently. The five pilots stood, looking at the town and the ponies that went about the day. Doing things that they would expect humans to do. "We're not in kansas anymore." Duo said. Another chapter :) I'm glad people like this :) Don't expect much seriousness to come about. This is really a good light hearted fic with lots of laughs and a bit of romance here and there. Shouldn't be very long but hope you all enjoy it. Five New Ponies ConfirmedOkay if anyone can guess the reference made in the chapter name you all get a free derpy. Ain't she cute! Well all that aside let us get on to the story. The five gundam pilots stood there, looking at the town, or more importently its inhabitants. Ponies, pegasi and unicorns each one a different blend of colors and supporting a strange mark on their flanks. Exactly like them. "Uh....was the tea spiked or something?" Duo asked. "I don't think so," Quatra said, "if we were I don't think we would have faired as well as we did against those wolves. Besides...this seems too clear to be the working of a drug." "It is not that surprising," Trowa said, "after everything else that we have seen." "So...what should we do?" Duo asked. "The logical thing would be to find a place to stay, as well as information about where we are." Wufei said. "We should becareful when interacting with the locals. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves until we have proper data on our location." Heero said as he watched the inhabitants of the town, looking for any possible threats. "Well, let's go then. Wonder if they got anything to eat, I'm starving." Duo said as he began to walk into town. The other four pilots followed. The pilots walked through the streets of the small town, and noticed that despite their similar bodies to the inhabitants they were attracting unwanted attention. Now granted they had gotten the common wave of a hoof in hello or a greeting, but what happened after that was worrying. The ponies would go wide eyed and stare, some even bowed. "Uh guys...whats going on?" Duo asked the other pilots. "I don't know, though it is rather strange." Quatra said as he looked over to a pony who noticed his look and bowed more. "They're bowing to you Quatra." Heero said. "What?" Quatra said in surprise. "I noticed it as well. Apparently your body type isn't common around here." Trowa added in as he looked at the bowing and surprised ponies. Quatra felt a bit uncomfortable that he was the cause for all of this attention, now that the others had mentioned it he noticed that most of the stares were at him. The five continued to walk, Heero, Trowa and Wufei ignoring the stares while Duo gave friendly hellos to everyone they passed. Quatra also presented himself in a friendly fashion, though every time he waved, smiled or even looked to one of the ponies they would either hide from his eyes or bow even more. The five continued to walk until Duo stopped. The four other pilots stopped and looked to see what made the God of Death stop in his tracks. There, standing infront of them with a smile was a pink pony. Her mane and tail were puffy like cotton candy, in fact she smelled like it slightly as well. "Hi there, names..." Duo began his usual introduction. However before he could go on the pink pony gasped, jumping into the air and taking off like a bullet from a gun leaving a trail of dust behind her. Duo blinked confused, "Uh...what just happened?" "This place gets stranger by the minute." Heero said as he continued to move on. The rest of the pilots agreed as the continued on. Finally they reached the interior areas of the village where Trowa pointed out. "Over there, a library." He said, pointing towards a large tree house with a sign of a book outside of it. "You sure it's a library? Looks more like the keebler elf factory." Duo said, chuckling slightly. "It probably is, unless the sign represents a book store. Still either would be beneficial to give us a clue of where we are." Quatra said. "Anything is better then staying out here being gawked at." Wufei with some irritation as a pair of ponies stared at them, or at least a Quatra. The pilots headed over to the tree house and slowly opened the door. Inside were shelves upon shelves of books, supporting the possibility of a book store or library. In the center was a table with a statue of a pony's head on it, sitting in a chair at the table was the lower half, for the rest of her was blocked by a wall of books on the table where her upper half and head would be, of a purple pony with a strange star like symbol on her flank. In fact the pilots realized that all the ponies outside had one, just as they did so they guessed it had to be of some importance. "Um excuse me miss," Quatra said as he approached, "but if it is not too much trouble may we have a word?" "Hmm?" The pony said as she looked peeked out from behind the books. Her eyes widened as she saw Quatra. "Oh no! Oh excuse me if I knew you were coming.. but but I didn't and the princess didn't say....oh dear! SPIKE!" The pony began to panic as she jumped away from the books and tried to make the place spotless. The four other pilots blinked in momentary confusion, while Quatra tried to calm the frantic pony down. Quatra sighed, "Miss. Miss please why are you panicing?" The pony, a unicorn by her horn on her head looked at Quatra and bowed, "Oh I'm so sorry I didn't know a member of the royal family was coming. Please don't tell the princess how bad of a host I am please!" Quatra blinked in confusion, and the other pilots looked at the unicorn in confusion. "Royal family? What do you mean by that?" Quatra asked. The pony blinked and looked at Quatra, "You...you're not a prince? But you're an Alicorn." "Hey now we know what you are Quatra." Duo said as he walked over. "I guess, but the prince thing is a bit much." Quatra looked back to the unicorn, who was getting up slowly. "Miss, I'm not of this royal family. I'm sorry if I had you worried." Quatra apoligized. The pony took a deep breath a sighed, "Oh no it's my fault. I guess I shouldn't have overreacted so much, my name is Twilight Sparkle and who are you five?" "My name is Quatra Raberba Winner." Quatra said with a smile. "Name's Duo Maxwell." Duo gave a friendly smirk. Heero looked over and said simply, "Heero Yui. Pleasure." "Trowa Barton." Trowa said simply. "Chang Wufei ." Wufei said. "It's nice to meet you all. Is there something I can help you with?" Twilight asked. "Yes we were wondering if you had any books on geography of the area, maps and such?" Quatra asked, asking in a way to conceal his lack of knowledge of this world. Twilight smiled brightly, "Of course. Right in the Equestrian Geography section." Her horn glowed with a purple aura and almost twenty books floated off the shelves and to Quatra. Twilight looked at Quatra, obviously waiting for him to take the books. Quatra felt alarm as he was not sure how he was suppose to do what Twilight was doing. As his panic rose Quatra felt a suddenly realization in his mind, he knew what to do. He could not explain how or why, but whatever power brought them to this world also imparted the knowledge to do what the natives could do as well. His horn glowed softly and he took the books from Twilight, "Thank you." "Of course, glad to help." Twilight said with a smile. She then looked at Quatra for a moment, "though I have to say it is odd to see an Alicorn that is not part of the royal family. In fact it's odd to see another Alicorn at all, I though only the princesses were the only ones." "Um well..."Quatra said as he tried to think of an explanation. "And what did Duo mean by, know what you are now?" Twilight asked. Duo realized his mistake and said, "Uh well..." "In fact, your names are rather odd as well. They don't sound like any sort of pony name in Equestria." Twilight said as she rubbed her chin. "I find it odd that your intent on interrogating us based on our names and what we look like. Frankly I don't think its any of your business right now of who we are." Wufei said with irritation over Twilights words. Twilight blinked then blushed slightly in embarrassment, "Oh I..I wasn't...I mean...I'm sorry. I guess you are right, your new here and I really shouldn't be saying things like that, I'm really sorry." "It's not a problem. Thank you again for the books, we will be sure to return them to you when we are done with them." Quatra said gratefully. "Take your time," Twilight said with a smile, "its always good to see ponies ready to learn. By the way, what do you need those books for anyway? If you don't mind me asking." "Information." Heero said. "Yeah, we need to know a few things for something ahead. Again thank you." Quatra said as he turned to leave. The books still floating beside him and his horn still glowing. "Of course. See you around." Twilight said as she waved goodbye. The pilots walked out and stayed silent till they were a good distance from the library. Thankfully their were fewer ponies about staring or bowing to Quatra. And those that did quickly left the area. "So Quatra...uh...how the heck are you doing that?" Duo asked as he pointed at Quatra's horn. "I'm a bit curious myself. Though it must be something common here as Twilight was doing it as well." Trowa said in observation. "I don't know, but I just felt that I knew how to do it. Though I can't explain how." Quatra said as they walked. They kept the conversation as quiet as they could so that only the five of them could hear the other. "Hmm, wonder if the same is for these wings we got." Duo said as he extended a wing out. "We can test what we can do later. Right now let's focus on figuring out where we are." Wufei said. Heero nodded, "He's right. We should figure out our location and what this world is like before anything else." "Right," Quatra said with a nod, "umm perhaps somewhere away from town." Quatra sighed when he saw two mares bow to him as he passed. Duo just chuckled before patting his friend on the back. "That would probably be for the best." Trowa said. Away from Ponyville, under three on a hilltop overlooking the town the five gundam pilots were busy reading through the various books they had acquired from Twilight. The language seemed alien at first, but they found themselves able to understand and read the words. As well, Duo was amazed to find that he could hold a book with his hooves, that fact alone was a surprise to the pilots for a moment. "This is so awesome. Not sure how I do it but it is awesome." Duo said as he turned the page of a book. "You've been saying that for the past hour." Wufei said with irritation. "I know, but it's just so cool." Duo said one last time. Wufei rubbed his head and returned to his book. "From what we have gathered, we can say for a fact that we arn't on earth anymore. In fact I would be surprised if we were." Quatra said as he closed his book and added it to the rest of already finished books. Heero put his away as well, finishing the last page, "So it seems. I'm willing to guess that strange creature we saw in death sent us here, alive and young again." "Agreed. Though I want to know why." Trowa said as he tried to figure out what possible reason it could be. "These books tell us the geography, but not much on the history of this place." Wufei said as he put his away. "Still, it should allow us to create a good cover should someone ask where we came from." Heero said. "So what should we do now?" Duo asked. "Well we can return the books, though after that we should acquire some on the history of this place called Equestria." Quatra said. The other pilots nodded and they gathered up the books and made their way back to town. Along the way they noticed that the streets were very very empty. Old combat instinct was telling the pilots to prepare, but for what they didn't know. "I don't like this, I feel like we're walking into something." Heero said as he looked around. "Yeah, its quiet. To quiet." Duo said with a slight smirk at the reference. As the five reached the door of the library, the door suddenly burst open with a blast of confetti. "SURPRISE!" Sorry for the long wait. Life gets busy right now as I need to focus on my grades and such. I'll probably be having a beta reader soon :) so I will be going back in the previous chapters to edit them more later. For now do enjoy this new update :)
Chapter 1This is...something new, and I got the idea after seeing some pictures on Deviant Art, by SapphireGamgee. Any pictures you see here is done by her and she desreves pretty much ALL the credit for inspiring this fic. I hope you all like it as I really found the idea to be interesting. It has been years since the events of After Colony 196 and the rebellion of colony L3 X-18999. Under the guidance of Relena Darlian, and after her death, Mariemaia Khushrenada, the earth and the colonies have remained in peace, and now another year passes in this continued and everlasting peace. But, this year is not simply a continuation, but is also the time for endings. As the sun slowly sets to mark the end of a day, it also marks the end of five pilots, who fought for all their lives to keep the peace on earth. Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatra Raberba Winner, and Chang Wufei. As these pilots pass into their final judgement, they would soon find themselves in a very strange and new world. Duo slowly opened his eyes, and was greeted with darkness. He blinked and looked around, still only seeing darkness. "So....this is death huh?" Duo said to himself. The God of Death crossed his arms and looked around once more, "Well...this is boring. I thought hell would be more....firey." Suddenly he felt himself fall into the darkness, at an increasening speed. "Ahhh!" He screamed as he fell, and fell...and fell. "This is a long fall." Duo said, now waiting for when he would hit the bottom and enter into the pits of hell. If that was where he was going. Suddenly, he stopped. Duo blinke and looked around. Looking at the ground he saw his reflection. He now looked as he did when he was seventeen. Duo smirked and admired himself. "Well at least I'll look good when I get to hell. If I ever get there." Duo said. He looked around again and spotted a light in the distance. Seeing nothing else except darkness in every other direction, Duo began to walk towards the light. The ground beneath him rippling like water with each step. As Duo stepped into the light, his vision was blinded for a second. When he could see again he found himself standing in a small room, a lounge to be exact. Two couches sat in the middle, surrounding a small coffee table. But what surprised him the most were the four people sitting on the couches, who looked back at him with equal surprise. "Quatra? Heero? Trowa? Wufei?" Duo said looking to each individual gundam pilot. "Duo. So you came here as well." Quatra said, smiling slightly glad to see another friend. "Seems the gang is all here." Trowa said, smirking slightly at the coincidence. Heero looked up, his face expressionless and said, "Where is here?" "I'd say death. We did die after all." Wufei said as he sat in meditation on the sofa, next to Heero. Duo looked around, "I don't know about you Wufei, but I was kinda thinking that death would have been...well...more spacious." Duo gave a grin as he finished. As the five tried to determie their location in the afterlife, they heard a someone chuckle. "Did you hear that?" Quatra said as he looked around. The rest of the pilots were silent as they listened, the chuckling continued. "Oh this is perfect. You five are just perfect." A voice said. "Whose there! Come out and show yourself" Duo said, as he tried to find the owner of the voice. "Okay, if you want." The voice said, and in a sudden flash of light something appeared before the five gundam pilots. "What the.." Trowa said, unsure of what he was seeing. Before them stood a tall....thing. It had the head of a horse, but a goats beard and a deer antler on the right and a goat horn on the left. One fang was longer then the rest, and had varying sized pupils. It's body was long and slender, almost like a dragons and had a right arm that looked like a lions claw, and a left arm that was the claw of an eagle. The right leg was that of a lizards and the left was a goats leg. In addition it had one bat wing and one bird wing and a snakes tail. "The heck are you? A hollywood reject?" Duo asked with a raised eyebrow. "Now I've seen everything." Wufei said looking at the strange creature with slight disgust. Heero was just silent as he looked at the creature with a mixture of curiosity and uncertainty. "Well, here I am. Tea anyone?" The creature said before a cup of tea appeared in his claw and each of the pilots hand. "Whoa!" Duo said in surprise as he held the small cup of hot tea. Could he even drink this if he was dead? "Um....sir..," Quatra began slowly, unsure of how to proceed with this strange and obviously powerful creature, "if I might ask. Who are you?" What was he, Quatra thought as well. "Hmm, oh me," the creature said as he sipped his tea, or...perhaps more precisely the cup, "oh no one. My name is Discord, and you are?" Quatra was surprised by this strange creature, as well as the strange way in which the cup had been drank instead of the tea. He, and all the rest of the pilots set their cups down, and he said, "My name is Quatra Raberba Winner." "Duo Maxwell." Duo said, pointing a thumb at himself with a smirk. "Trowa Barton." Trowa said simply, keeping his face expressionless. "Heero Yuy." Heero said simply. "Wufei." Wufei said. Discord chuckled, "Well I guess you are all probably wondering what you're doing here." Quatra noddded, "Yes. We were sure we had all passed away, and we are sure we did, though this place...is certainly a strange for of afterlife." "Yeah, kinda boring actually." Discord laughed, "Well I wouldn't worry about it for too long. You'll be back and about in a few moments here." "What do you mean by that?" Trowa asked. A clock suddenly appeared in Discords claws, "Oh look at the time. Time certainly does fly," the clock grew wings and flew off disappearing in a puff of smoke, "when making chaos. See you all soon." Before any of the gundam pilots could say anything, Discord snapped a finger and everything was soon engulfed in a blinding flash of light, before everything went dark again. All the pilots could hear was the fading sound of Discords laughter. *Play this* Well thats a beginning chapter. Hoping this gets some likes, know that this is going to be a very difficult project, mostly cause its something I've never done before. Still...I shall try to give you all a good, and funny fic. Enjoy and please do leave a comment on how it is and if it needs any work on parts, I really want this to be a well loved fic :)
Chapter 2Another chapter. Slowly, the five gundam pilots began to stir. Their conciousness returning after the sudden flash of light after their meeting of the strange creature named Discord. The sound of birds singing, and the gentle feel of a light breeze blowing against them were the first things that they registered. "What the?" Duo said as he opened his eyes, but immediatly closed them as the sudden light of the sun greeted him. The god of death could hear his friends near him, also stirring from...whatever had happened. Duo slowly opened his eyes again and looked around. They were in a forest, trees surrounded them, save for a small opening in the tree line that allowed the sun to gaze down on them. A small pool of water glistened in the light. "Where are we?" Duo heard Quatra say. Everything seemed....bigger. More brightly colored, and he...felt....odd. "I don't know but..." Duo stopped mid sentence as he looked toward his friend. 'What in the hell...' Duo thought as his mind registered what he was seeing. There, before his very eyes stood a winged....horse. Pegasi if he remembered his mythology. One was pure white, with a mane and tail in a style similar to how Quatra had his hair, it even had the same platinum blond color as well as same blue eyes. Of course what was odd for this white pegasus was that it also had a horn, and a strange five jewel design on the flank. One jewel was surrounded by four others, one green, blue, red, and the last yellow. Behind these five gems was a star burst symbol. "Ugh...that was unpleasant." Duo looked with wide eyes to where he heard Trowa's voice and saw another pegasus, only without the horn. This one had a tanish sort of coat, brown colored mane and tail identically styled in the same way Trowa's hair was, and green eyes. This pegasus had a half clown mask symbol on its flank. "I think the real question is not where are we, but what are we now?" Duo turned and saw two other pegasus, one a solid dark green with prussian blue eyes and a dark brown mane and tail, again like the rest styled in a very similar pattern, this time like Heero's hair. It had a symbol of a gun on it's flank, with pure white feathers behind it. The other was a dark blue color, with a black eyes and hair that was styled similarly to Wufei's hair. On this one's flank was a picture of a red chinese dragon. It also had two gray wrist bands on it's front legs. "What the....Heero? Wufei?" Duo said, which drew the four pegasi's attentiont to him. They all gave him a wide eyed and surprised look. "Uh....Duo?" The Quatra look alike horse said. "Quatra?" "You might want to look in the pool of water over there." The Wufei looking pony said. Duo blinked and slowly took a few steps over to the pool of water and gazed at his reflection. The sight caused him to gasp. Duo...he was still Duo right? He was also a pegasus, only his coat was pure black. He was also wearing a small gold necklace with a cross at the end of the chain. His mane and tail were the same color as his hair had been when he was...normal, and both were styled in the same way he had kept his hair when he was alive and...well...not a horse. On his flank he had a picture of a scythe, his Deathscythe Hell's thermal energy scythe to be exact. 'Well....at least mine is cooler.' He thought, of course that thought was soon replaced by another. One that he vocalized. "What the hell!?!" Duo yelled. It took sometime to calm Duo down. Needless to say he had been...slightly surprised. "What the hell happened to us!?!" Duo screamed. "Duo! Just calm down for a moment." Quatra said, trying to calm his friend down. "Calm! How can any of us be calm right now!? We've turned into.....winged..horses!" Duo said as he began to hyperventillate. Heero rolled his eyes and walked over to the panicing pilot and slapped him across the face once. "Owwww." Duo said as he rubbed where he got hit. "Panicing won't fix this. So just take a deep breath and calm down." Heero said simply. "Alright, just don't hit me again. That hurt." Duo said. "If you felt it," Trowa said, "Then we can assume that you're not dreaming, and no doubt the rest of us are not as well." "So if we arn't dreaming, then where are we? And why are we horses?" Duo asked. "That is a good question. We were dead, though I don't know if we can say that we still are if we are able to experience pain." Quatra said as he rubbed his chin with a hoof. "Perhaps that creature Discord had something to do with this." Wufei said with a hint of irritation in his voice. "Perhaps, though how and why I'm still not sure about." Quatra said. "The guy made tea appear out of nowhere and then drank the cup." Duo said, still feeling wierd about all that was happening. "Well, let's go over what we already know." Heero said, "We were dead, but now suddenly we are alive again." Trowa nodded, "A bizarre and strange circumstance. Death is one thing, but sudden reincarnation in this way seems out of the ordinary." "If we were reincarnated, we wouldn't have any knowledge of our past lives. Yet I can remember everything clearly." Wufei said. Quatra nodded, "As do I." Duo, Trowa and Heero agreed as well. All five of them could remember their final hours when they were human, and the events that lead to their current situation. "So that Discord fellow turned us into flying horses." Duo said, looking at his new form once more. "Pegasi to be exact, thought..I don't know what I am." Quatra said as he looked at his own reflection. "Yeah, don't think pegasi had horns." Trowa said with a raised eyebrow. "Does it hurt?" Duo asked, poking the horn. "No," Qatra said, "but the poking is slightly irritating. Could you please stop." Duo stopped and gave a goofy grin, "Sorry." Quatra smiled lightly, "Don't worry about it." "Well, I think we should try to determine our location." Heero said. "Right. We should try to find some high ground to get us above the tree line." Quatra said. "Why don't one of us climb a tree and..." Duo began, but stopped from the looks he was getting from his fellow pilots. Duo grinned and rubbed the back of his head, chuckling uneasily, "Oh right...don't think we could climb a tree like this huh." "Let's move out then." Heero said, as he began to walk off into the woods. The rest of the gundam pilots followed. As they walked, they all were surprised by how easy they were adapting to their new bodies. Which was odd, considering that walking on four legs was alot different to walking on two. "Hey, anyone else wondering how we arn't having any trouble with these new bodies?" Duo asked. "It is odd. But, everything about what has happened is." Trowa said, casting a few glances to the left and right. "Perhaps when Discord brought us here, he imparted the motor skills for the new forms he gave us. Though I still do not understand how he did it. What type of being would he have to be to be able to do such things?" Quatra said, pondering on the thought. "Whatever he was, and whatever his reasons I don't think they were for our benefit." Wufei said. Heero nodded, "Agreed. He probably has something planned for us." Duo smirked, "Well if he does he's gonna be a bit disappointed. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not really one for taking orders from some sort of goat serpent thing." Suddenly all five of the pilots stopped and began looking around. They all felt something coming closer, towards them. "We're being watched." Trowa said. "Know what it is?" Duo asked as he looked into the woods. A low growl, and the sudden appearence of several glowing yellow eyes. "Wolves." Heero said. The wolves stepped from the shadows and growled, teeth bared and ready to strike. Of course this was not what caught the pilots by surprise. It was what the wolves were made of. They were made of wood. "Uh...those are wolves right?" Duo asked, looking at the wolves. One of the wolves snarled and charged, going into hamstring Trowa. But the acrobatic gundam pilot easily side stepped the attack and then quickly kicking the wolf in the head, sending it to the ground. "Whatever they are," Trowa said, "they are trying to eat us." Seeing their companion down, the rest of the pack charged, going in for the kill. The pilots were ready, and years of combat training and experience kicked in. *Play for awsome fight music* Wufei landed a swift round house kick into an attacking wolf, sending it flying. Heero punched another directly in the snout, wood cracking and shattering from the blow and sending the wolf staggering back in pain. "How can wolves made of wood be walking around. Let alone feel pain?" Duo asked as he dodged the snapping jaws of a wolf and gave it a hard kick into the throat. 'Ya know these hooves sure are useful.' He thought as he kicked another wolf. "I don't know, but it might be connected with Discord." Quatra said as he dodged a wolf that got close to getting its teeth into his back leg. 'I'm sorry,' Quatra thought as he gave the wolf a sharp kick in the head, 'please forgive me.' Seeing more of their pack members taken down by the group of five ponies, the wolves quickly turned tail and ran, unwilling to attempt to take down such dangerous pray. Any injured that remained soon got up and took after their pack, and leaving the five pilots turned ponies behind. "Wolves made of wood. What's next, bears made of stars?" Duo said to himself. "This is a strange place, wherever we are." Quatra said. Trowa nodded, "We should get moving again. Who knows what else could be lurking near by." The pilots continued through the forest, keeping an eye for any more strange and possible dangerous creatures. They met no other attacks, and instead of a hill or place to get them above the tree line, they found themselves at the edge of the forest. Steppng out of the trees, they were greeted to a surprising and yet comforting sight. It was a cottage, a sign of civilization. But what was odd about this cottage was the numerous numbers of various small bird houses and other forms of shelter for animals of varying sizes that dotted around the cottage. There was even a chicken coop and a path way leading away from the cottage, and to a town they could make out in the far distance. "Hey, looks like there's civilization after all." Duo said, glad to see the cottage. "We should proceed carefully," Quatra said as he smiled lightly at the cottage, it seemed to peaceful. "Agreed, we don't know if these new bodies of ours are a common sight or not. Let alone if we can communicate with whoever lives here." Heero said. "Whoever lives here sure likes animals. I've never seen so many rabbits and doves and well....all of these things in one place, let alone where someone lives." Duo said with surprise. The group made their way towards the cottage, Heero and Duo kept low and slowly peeked in through a window. The interior of the cottage seemed to radiate comfort and cozy. But was surprising was that there were even more animal houses inside the cottage, as well as several mouse holes. "Who the heck lives here?" Duo said, confused by all the animals that he saw inside the house, and what was even more shocking some of them doing house work. "I feel as if we walked into a disney movie of Snow White." Duo said with a raised eyebrow. Heero kept his usual expressionless face and simply said, "It certainly is strange." Duo and Heero rejoined the others near the front door. Trowa, Quatra and Wufei stood near it, no doubt waiting for an answer to their knock made not one second ago. "Don't think anyone's home. And get this, there are animals in there doing house work, like out of a kids story book." Duo said laughing slightly. The others looked at Duo as if he was crazy, but when Heero confirmed this they blinked in surprise. Everything else aside, the pilots were more and more curious of where they were, and if anything about where they were made any logical sense at all. "Wolves made of timber, and now animals with some semblence of advanced thinking, this place gets stranger by the minute." Quatra said scratching the back of his head. "If no one is here, we should move on then. I'd rather not wait around here." Wufei said casting a glance over to the town in the distance. Quatra nodded, "Perhaps we will meet the owner of the cottage on the path to town. Or meet someone on the way there, it is better then just sitting around." "Sounds like a plan." Duo said and began to walk down the path, the rest of the pilots following. As they drew closer and closer to the town, Quatra could not help but look around at the landscape. Everything seemed so peaceful and tranquil. It brought a smile to his lips; Duo and Trowa could not help but smile at the peace and quiet. Wherever they were it seemed to be lacking in the technology earth had. "Seems odd to know that we arn't even on earth anymore." Duo said as they made their way closer to town. "It is a bit surprising. But this place is very peaceful, and the air tastes so sweet." Quatra said with a smile. "I wouldn't let yourself get caught off guard. We were sent here by an abomination of great power, who knows what could live here." Wufei said. "Hey look there it is." Duo said as they finally reached the edge of town. "Maybe we will find someone who....knows....where we....are...."Quatra said as he and the rest of the gundam pilots looked at what they saw. Ponies. Hundreds of ponies of various colors and types. Some had wings like them, while others had horns. And others, a good deal in fact lacked either wings or horns. And all had markings on their flanks. "Uh...." Duo said. "What the..." Wufei said looking around. "This is most..."Quatra said. "This is wierd." Heero said, with Trowa nodding silently. The five pilots stood, looking at the town and the ponies that went about the day. Doing things that they would expect humans to do. "We're not in kansas anymore." Duo said. Another chapter :) I'm glad people like this :) Don't expect much seriousness to come about. This is really a good light hearted fic with lots of laughs and a bit of romance here and there. Shouldn't be very long but hope you all enjoy it.
Five New Ponies ConfirmedOkay if anyone can guess the reference made in the chapter name you all get a free derpy. Ain't she cute! Well all that aside let us get on to the story. The five gundam pilots stood there, looking at the town, or more importently its inhabitants. Ponies, pegasi and unicorns each one a different blend of colors and supporting a strange mark on their flanks. Exactly like them. "Uh....was the tea spiked or something?" Duo asked. "I don't think so," Quatra said, "if we were I don't think we would have faired as well as we did against those wolves. Besides...this seems too clear to be the working of a drug." "It is not that surprising," Trowa said, "after everything else that we have seen." "So...what should we do?" Duo asked. "The logical thing would be to find a place to stay, as well as information about where we are." Wufei said. "We should becareful when interacting with the locals. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves until we have proper data on our location." Heero said as he watched the inhabitants of the town, looking for any possible threats. "Well, let's go then. Wonder if they got anything to eat, I'm starving." Duo said as he began to walk into town. The other four pilots followed. The pilots walked through the streets of the small town, and noticed that despite their similar bodies to the inhabitants they were attracting unwanted attention. Now granted they had gotten the common wave of a hoof in hello or a greeting, but what happened after that was worrying. The ponies would go wide eyed and stare, some even bowed. "Uh guys...whats going on?" Duo asked the other pilots. "I don't know, though it is rather strange." Quatra said as he looked over to a pony who noticed his look and bowed more. "They're bowing to you Quatra." Heero said. "What?" Quatra said in surprise. "I noticed it as well. Apparently your body type isn't common around here." Trowa added in as he looked at the bowing and surprised ponies. Quatra felt a bit uncomfortable that he was the cause for all of this attention, now that the others had mentioned it he noticed that most of the stares were at him. The five continued to walk, Heero, Trowa and Wufei ignoring the stares while Duo gave friendly hellos to everyone they passed. Quatra also presented himself in a friendly fashion, though every time he waved, smiled or even looked to one of the ponies they would either hide from his eyes or bow even more. The five continued to walk until Duo stopped. The four other pilots stopped and looked to see what made the God of Death stop in his tracks. There, standing infront of them with a smile was a pink pony. Her mane and tail were puffy like cotton candy, in fact she smelled like it slightly as well. "Hi there, names..." Duo began his usual introduction. However before he could go on the pink pony gasped, jumping into the air and taking off like a bullet from a gun leaving a trail of dust behind her. Duo blinked confused, "Uh...what just happened?" "This place gets stranger by the minute." Heero said as he continued to move on. The rest of the pilots agreed as the continued on. Finally they reached the interior areas of the village where Trowa pointed out. "Over there, a library." He said, pointing towards a large tree house with a sign of a book outside of it. "You sure it's a library? Looks more like the keebler elf factory." Duo said, chuckling slightly. "It probably is, unless the sign represents a book store. Still either would be beneficial to give us a clue of where we are." Quatra said. "Anything is better then staying out here being gawked at." Wufei with some irritation as a pair of ponies stared at them, or at least a Quatra. The pilots headed over to the tree house and slowly opened the door. Inside were shelves upon shelves of books, supporting the possibility of a book store or library. In the center was a table with a statue of a pony's head on it, sitting in a chair at the table was the lower half, for the rest of her was blocked by a wall of books on the table where her upper half and head would be, of a purple pony with a strange star like symbol on her flank. In fact the pilots realized that all the ponies outside had one, just as they did so they guessed it had to be of some importance. "Um excuse me miss," Quatra said as he approached, "but if it is not too much trouble may we have a word?" "Hmm?" The pony said as she looked peeked out from behind the books. Her eyes widened as she saw Quatra. "Oh no! Oh excuse me if I knew you were coming.. but but I didn't and the princess didn't say....oh dear! SPIKE!" The pony began to panic as she jumped away from the books and tried to make the place spotless. The four other pilots blinked in momentary confusion, while Quatra tried to calm the frantic pony down. Quatra sighed, "Miss. Miss please why are you panicing?" The pony, a unicorn by her horn on her head looked at Quatra and bowed, "Oh I'm so sorry I didn't know a member of the royal family was coming. Please don't tell the princess how bad of a host I am please!" Quatra blinked in confusion, and the other pilots looked at the unicorn in confusion. "Royal family? What do you mean by that?" Quatra asked. The pony blinked and looked at Quatra, "You...you're not a prince? But you're an Alicorn." "Hey now we know what you are Quatra." Duo said as he walked over. "I guess, but the prince thing is a bit much." Quatra looked back to the unicorn, who was getting up slowly. "Miss, I'm not of this royal family. I'm sorry if I had you worried." Quatra apoligized. The pony took a deep breath a sighed, "Oh no it's my fault. I guess I shouldn't have overreacted so much, my name is Twilight Sparkle and who are you five?" "My name is Quatra Raberba Winner." Quatra said with a smile. "Name's Duo Maxwell." Duo gave a friendly smirk. Heero looked over and said simply, "Heero Yui. Pleasure." "Trowa Barton." Trowa said simply. "Chang Wufei ." Wufei said. "It's nice to meet you all. Is there something I can help you with?" Twilight asked. "Yes we were wondering if you had any books on geography of the area, maps and such?" Quatra asked, asking in a way to conceal his lack of knowledge of this world. Twilight smiled brightly, "Of course. Right in the Equestrian Geography section." Her horn glowed with a purple aura and almost twenty books floated off the shelves and to Quatra. Twilight looked at Quatra, obviously waiting for him to take the books. Quatra felt alarm as he was not sure how he was suppose to do what Twilight was doing. As his panic rose Quatra felt a suddenly realization in his mind, he knew what to do. He could not explain how or why, but whatever power brought them to this world also imparted the knowledge to do what the natives could do as well. His horn glowed softly and he took the books from Twilight, "Thank you." "Of course, glad to help." Twilight said with a smile. She then looked at Quatra for a moment, "though I have to say it is odd to see an Alicorn that is not part of the royal family. In fact it's odd to see another Alicorn at all, I though only the princesses were the only ones." "Um well..."Quatra said as he tried to think of an explanation. "And what did Duo mean by, know what you are now?" Twilight asked. Duo realized his mistake and said, "Uh well..." "In fact, your names are rather odd as well. They don't sound like any sort of pony name in Equestria." Twilight said as she rubbed her chin. "I find it odd that your intent on interrogating us based on our names and what we look like. Frankly I don't think its any of your business right now of who we are." Wufei said with irritation over Twilights words. Twilight blinked then blushed slightly in embarrassment, "Oh I..I wasn't...I mean...I'm sorry. I guess you are right, your new here and I really shouldn't be saying things like that, I'm really sorry." "It's not a problem. Thank you again for the books, we will be sure to return them to you when we are done with them." Quatra said gratefully. "Take your time," Twilight said with a smile, "its always good to see ponies ready to learn. By the way, what do you need those books for anyway? If you don't mind me asking." "Information." Heero said. "Yeah, we need to know a few things for something ahead. Again thank you." Quatra said as he turned to leave. The books still floating beside him and his horn still glowing. "Of course. See you around." Twilight said as she waved goodbye. The pilots walked out and stayed silent till they were a good distance from the library. Thankfully their were fewer ponies about staring or bowing to Quatra. And those that did quickly left the area. "So Quatra...uh...how the heck are you doing that?" Duo asked as he pointed at Quatra's horn. "I'm a bit curious myself. Though it must be something common here as Twilight was doing it as well." Trowa said in observation. "I don't know, but I just felt that I knew how to do it. Though I can't explain how." Quatra said as they walked. They kept the conversation as quiet as they could so that only the five of them could hear the other. "Hmm, wonder if the same is for these wings we got." Duo said as he extended a wing out. "We can test what we can do later. Right now let's focus on figuring out where we are." Wufei said. Heero nodded, "He's right. We should figure out our location and what this world is like before anything else." "Right," Quatra said with a nod, "umm perhaps somewhere away from town." Quatra sighed when he saw two mares bow to him as he passed. Duo just chuckled before patting his friend on the back. "That would probably be for the best." Trowa said. Away from Ponyville, under three on a hilltop overlooking the town the five gundam pilots were busy reading through the various books they had acquired from Twilight. The language seemed alien at first, but they found themselves able to understand and read the words. As well, Duo was amazed to find that he could hold a book with his hooves, that fact alone was a surprise to the pilots for a moment. "This is so awesome. Not sure how I do it but it is awesome." Duo said as he turned the page of a book. "You've been saying that for the past hour." Wufei said with irritation. "I know, but it's just so cool." Duo said one last time. Wufei rubbed his head and returned to his book. "From what we have gathered, we can say for a fact that we arn't on earth anymore. In fact I would be surprised if we were." Quatra said as he closed his book and added it to the rest of already finished books. Heero put his away as well, finishing the last page, "So it seems. I'm willing to guess that strange creature we saw in death sent us here, alive and young again." "Agreed. Though I want to know why." Trowa said as he tried to figure out what possible reason it could be. "These books tell us the geography, but not much on the history of this place." Wufei said as he put his away. "Still, it should allow us to create a good cover should someone ask where we came from." Heero said. "So what should we do now?" Duo asked. "Well we can return the books, though after that we should acquire some on the history of this place called Equestria." Quatra said. The other pilots nodded and they gathered up the books and made their way back to town. Along the way they noticed that the streets were very very empty. Old combat instinct was telling the pilots to prepare, but for what they didn't know. "I don't like this, I feel like we're walking into something." Heero said as he looked around. "Yeah, its quiet. To quiet." Duo said with a slight smirk at the reference. As the five reached the door of the library, the door suddenly burst open with a blast of confetti. "SURPRISE!" Sorry for the long wait. Life gets busy right now as I need to focus on my grades and such. I'll probably be having a beta reader soon :) so I will be going back in the previous chapters to edit them more later. For now do enjoy this new update :)
