  I was awoken by someone knocking on my door that was right beside me and as I got up I heard someone outside "Sir we're about to enter the atmosphere, we need you to report to the main deck." said the voice behind the metal door I quickly got dressed than opening the door to see a scientist waiting for me outside.

"Morning sir as I said we're entering the planet's orbit." the scientist said as I walk past him I past by the barracks room where the private's were held and found all the beds were empty, I think I saw a shadow on the wall that quickly disappeared. I stopped to see if my mind was tricking me, but finding that it didn't reappeared, I felt a little more assured.

The scientist got my attention. "Sir..are you okay?...you feeling okay..."he asked, with a hint of worry in his voice. he had notice that that my face was drained from colors.

"I'm... I'm fine, let's get to the deck," I said with a hint of fear in my voice.

We'd reached the main deck and at just the right moment to see the ship enter the atmosphere. All my men dressed and ready. I walk over to the large window that offered a good view of the planet, making a sigh " Finally...here." I said to myself, sitting on a chair. I began to chuckling, which turned into crying. I don't know why I was crying, I just had a feeling - having to leave your family at earth so you can explore a beautiful uncharted planet. I looked over to find Booker there, staring at the the planet below

"Heh it so beautiful..huh?" said Booker, looking at me with a small smile upon his face.

I got up, making a couple of grunting noises in the process "Yeah..beautiful." I said turning to him "Are you ready for this?"

He quickly saluted, taping his shoes "Yes sir!" Booker said. man - this guy some how every time I see his face he fills me with confidence and determination, every time I saw his face.

I smiled "Now than let's get down there, I'm already getting tired of constantly standing on the metal ground." I said chuckling.

I met the rest of the crew at the pods that will send us to the planet below " Alright people, into the pods," I said, as i climbed  into the pod was shaped like a egg.I could see some of my men enter with me, and after they boarded, we were all were done "Alright, here goes nothing," I said pressing the launch button that was right beside me. We launching towards the planet below.


Ponyville

  Twilight was doing her daily reading until she hears a large explosion which caught her attention making her run outside to find the source of the explosion, but to see the townponys looking up in the skies staring at a strange floating object that was floating high in the skies. She didn't think much of the object other than the other ponies as they started to gasp, the thought of the end of the world is nigh, thinking that this is a bad oman.

Twilight on the other hand was quite curious about the object, but she has to be careful the thing is the skies might be dangerous. It could be a asteroid that was ruled out because if it was a asteroid than it would not hesitate but to crash in to the ground like any other asteroids. Twilight past spike who was placing some books on the table that was next to stairs that lead towards the star seeker that was pointing toward the strange metallic object. As she looked though the star seeker she saw the object was spitting in pieces and heading towards the Everfree forest.

She had no time to lose, she have to send a letter to the princesses about this occurrence and what to do about this matter, she turned around to find spike looking at her with a hint of worry in his face.

"Twilight is something wrong?"he said staring at the star seeker "Is their something out there?" he tried to look outside, but twilight tried to stop him but spike was too interested to see what twilight saw, she sigh in defeat

"Spike I don't know what's in the sky, but I have a feeling that Equestria is going to be in trouble, so I'll you to send the Princesses a letter while I'm away can i trust you with that responsibility?" She said spreading her wings. He quickly nodded grabbing a quill and paper.

"You can count on me Twilight." he said, smiling at twilight, who grabbed her things and started to search for her friends.


     I looked though a small glass that, to see grassy trees everywhere that means that, we landed in the middle of some type of forest or jungle. I looked back seeing that everybody is up and ready.

"Is everyone okay?" I said to make sure that everybody was ready and okay for the long hike to reach the others

They all nodded, "Aright...counting, 1..2..3..4..wait where's Private Scout?" I said with a hint of worry in my voice. They looked around the shuttle "God dammit we forgot her did we." I said, rubbing my temple, until we heard a female voice in the back of the shuttle.

"Uh I'm right here." said the female voice

I looked past the men, to find a median size woman wearing a combat helmet and a combat suit, she had a 6.5 pulse rifle sheathed on her back, and a .357 Magnum.

"Thank god, I was really not looking forward of going back to the ship." I said, chuckling to myself like It was a joke. " But I'm serious I don't want to go back on the ship."

I press the button which open the latch making a hissing noise in the process. It open and a gush of wind ran past us, sending chills down our spins. I step out, smelling the fresh cool air, feeling the air around my rough skin like it was the first time in for awhile.

I was the first human to step on this planet and It felt great to finally to do something like this, no killing this time.

We made quickly made camp, so we can keep contact with the ship above, after all the work, I laid down right by a tree and fell into a deep sleep.
