A Fractured World

(Outside of the containment. Equestria Side)

“WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?!” Celestia yelled as soon as they were out of the tent. “You cross the portal and perform magic on one of them? What were you THINKING!?!”

“I was trying to help an innocent being,” Luna said, not even batting an eye. Scorpio was taking a step back as he knew from experiments where this was heading. “I thought that what we do.” Luna's eyes harden and Scorpio leans back.

“Here we go.” Scorpio thought.

“What is that supposed to mean?” Celestia said, the poison clear in her voice.

“You know what I mean, Sister,” Luna said. “We never act this scare when we dealt with the Yaks or Zebras. Why are we acting like they are a threat?”

“Because they might be!” Celestia shouted, her magic sparking off her horn. “They have weapons we never dream about and so far, I heard that they been fighting wars for a long time. WE have to treat this more lightly.”

“Why? Because he said so?” Luna said, gesturing to Scorpio. “I suppose to treat them like a monster because of hm being too paranoid?”

“YOU WEREN’T THERE!!!” Celestia shouted, slamming her hoof down. “I fought Chrysalis when she first showed up. She offered peace and acted like she just wants a place for her kind. You weren’t there when she betrayed us and revealed true self. A parasite that decided we were better off food then friends. I had to defend this country for a thousand moons by myself and I had to make some hard choices.” She walks over to Luna and started to stare her down. Luna didn’t break. “Twilight and I will be the only ones talking to these humans for a while. I want you to stay back for a while until I’m sure it safe.”

“Until it safe?” Luna said, angry bubbling under every word. “I’m not a foal, Sister, and I will not be treated like one. I went there and survive.”

“You also almost got hurt,” Scorpio said, finally stepping out from the background. “Whatever that human used wasn’t a party favor. I already sent messages to Canterlot and Cloudsdales. We’re prepping more weapons for the guards and I sent for two of my Lieutenant General to meet here to discuss plans. I talk to Sunspot and he has planning on some test to see if their world bad for us. When we perform the test, I suggest that you both stay in Canterlot until we are sure there is nothing to worry about. But Princess, we need to see if they will let us.”

“That is not a conversation I look forward to,” Celestia said.

(Barracks. Earth Side.)

“What the hell were you thinking?” Anatolios asked Ryan as soon as he enters the small jail room. A set of bar separate him from Ryan but Anatolios was still a little nervous. He was stunned by how Ryan looked. His eyes were slightly sunken and he looks liked he aged five years. “Jesus, what happen to you?”

“Nothing happen,” Ryan said, avoiding Anatolios eyes. “I saw a soldier being attacked and I saved him.”

“No, that is not what happen.” Anatolios said strictly. “The soldier said he feel fine and the one you put in a hospital now has a broken nose and needs twenty stitches.”

“You weren’t there.” Ryan snarled, almost animal like. “You didn’t see what I saw.”

“And what did you see?” Anatolios asked. “Because so far, all I’ve heard was you acting crazy.”

“She was messing with his MIND!!!” Ryan shouted, smashing the wall. “She was messing with his head. Who knows what idea he put in his head? She could have complete control of him. That how it happens. They say they’re going to help but they just use you.” Anatolios realized all at once what this was about.

“Ryan, is this about what happen last spring?” Anatolios asked. The look on Ryan’s face was all he needed to see. A look full of painful memories and regret. “I shouldn’t have sent you here. I’ve should of just risk it myself.”

“But don’t you see?” Ryan jumps over to Anatolios and grabs the bars separating them. “I was the perfect person to send. Anyone else would have thought it was innocent but see through it!” he started tapping his head. “I know what they're planning. They are going to convince us that they are friendly but they switch around. They will make us slaves and they’ll use their “magic to make it happen.”

“Ryan, go home,” Anatolios said. “I will make sure the charges are dropped but you cannot come back. Do you hear me?” Ryan looks up and saw how serious Anatolios was. “You can’t come back.” Anatolios turn away and Ryan started to shake with rage.

“You’ll regret this, Anatolios!” He shouted. “When those things are marching down the street and taking our children, you’ll be begging for my help! Do you hear me, Anatolios!?!” As the door closed shut, Ryan smiled slightly. “I’ll make sure of it.”

(L.A. outside of ABC HQ)

“So, is anyone biting?” Frank asked as Carmine slam the door of their van shut, hard. He was eating a burger from a fast food and licking the grease off his fingers

“No,” Carmine grumbled. “I don’t get it. We prove the film isn’t fake yet almost all news agency won’t run the story.”

“I’ll tell you why ” Frank said as he crumbled up the wrapping. “If the government want to keep things under wrap, you think they aren’t going to keep an eye on the news networks?” Carmine look up and facepalm. “Yeah, didn’t think about that, did you?”

“Alright, so what do we do now?” Carmine asked out loud. Frank shrugged and turn on the radio.

“And that was Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater. Today Topic for discussion, Is there life on other planes? We know about planets but can there be life on a different plane of existence? Call with your stories or even better, proof of other life. Just call 323-913-2016 and we’ll put you on the air. Just know this is the Doctor of news, here at the Wolf Pack Radios Station.”

Carmine look up to Frank and flash a winning smile. Frank groan as he starts the van. This was going to be a long day
(Outside the Barracks.)

“General Burner, what the plan?” Anatolios asked as he got out of the room. General Burner stood beside him and they looked to the containment tent that contained the portal. It was glowing a little stronger than it was yesterday. Doctor Percy was trying to find out why the glow was stronger but so far, the theories were not good.

“Well, I suggest we figure if we aren’t going to war first,” Burner said, seeing several soldiers walking into the tent. “If we’re in the clear, then I suggest we do one of Dr. Percy’s test.” Anatolios raised an eyebrow at this and Burner chuckle slightly. “He wants to send two men to the other side to collect more data.”

“Are we sure it safe?” Anatolios asked. “How do we know that the governor condition wasn't caused by whatever that portal did?”

“We don’t,” Burner answered. “They’ll be wearing full containment suits and we’ll be making sure they're safe the entire time. But we need to make sure it’s safe. Let’s hope they are willing to talk after that whole stunt.” Just as Burner finish, a soldier ran out of the tent.

“General Burner, the one known as Celestia is requesting to talk to our leader. What should we do?” The soldier said quickly.

“They have really good timing.” Burner mutter.

(Portal. Equestria side.)

Celestia was sitting calmly by the portal, waiting for the leader of the world to show up. She was repeating a lesson her father taught her a long time ago.

“Stay calm, show respect and above all, do what right for your kind.” She whispers to herself as the second's pass by. The tent open and she watches as two soldiers and a third man walk in with the two. The third man wasn’t wearing any armor but the same kind of clothing that the governor was wearing. He wasn’t pale like most of the human that were here but was slightly tanned. He had walked in with a smile and as Celestia study him, another piece of advice from her father came across her mind. Be wary of leaders with smiles, they are usually hiding knives.

“Hello, my name is Andres Anatolios and I’m the leader of this country.” He said. “I would like to apology for what happen yesterday. We mean no harm and I hope we can work to a more peaceful resolution.” Celestia looks a little shock at this and clears her throat.

“Actually, I came to apologize for my sister actions,” Celestia said, bowing slightly. “We didn’t mean any harm and I hope we can get past this.” Anatolios was a bit surprised by this. He expected them to be angry but this Celestia seems to be more looking to make peace.

“Alright, we both made mistake. Let’s agree to start on a new plate and try to reach a peaceful solution. I’ve already dealt with the man who threatens your sister. He won’t be a part of this anymore. I just want to ask for one thing.” Anatolios asked. Celestia nodded and he continues. “If we want this to work, we need to find out if your world is dangerous for our kind. A couple of my scientists want to cross over. Will you allow this?”

Celestia smiled and lean close to the portal. “Alright, I believe we can work out a deal.”
