The AI system and its long dormant conciousness awakened, ready and waiting to work, it' had basic feelings and a personality of sorts so it could think outside of the box in situations that the purely logical core couldn't.
It spoke to itself in a metallic and distant tone as it worked out a solution." I am detecting the presence of another conciousness being moved across the rift, Assesing situation. Can the process be reversed: NO, risk too high. Other options... Help the victim of the experiment. Providing help, Weapons... Check, protection...Check, travel...check, perception... Check, posessions... found...crating...storing.... mark location...check, part time mental link...Established. Good luck traveller.

" Ohh, please work, please work..." Twilight worried as she looked at the still body of her creation laying on the medical bed.
~bleep~bleep~bleep~bleep~.... The heart rate monitor turned on along with all of the other medical equipment in the room attached to Twilight's project, " YES! It worked, she's alive! Ha ha yeeesss!" Twilight yelled triumphantly. "Spiiiiiike, I need to send this to the princesses!"

2 hours later Twilight's lab
All of twilight friends and the royal sisters had gathered in the main room of Twilight's "lab" it was simply one of the many unused rooms the only difference being the addition of plumbing and equipment indicative of a laboratory, it was filled to the brim with many monitors, scanners, tools, and assorted other implements of science. Twilight took off her labcoat revealing a simple gray t-shirt and denim jeans both stained with who knows what, "Sorry for not looking more presentable, I wouldn't want to soil my normal clothes with all of my science," Twilight said a bit sheepishly.
" It's quite alright twilight we understand" Celestia stated in a nonchalant attitude, "So, you said something about the projects completion?"
"Yeah I have princess, I have created another alicorn to serve as a defense mechanism for equestria in the absence of the Elements, she may not be able to replicate the Elements effect but she Will, in time be able to protect equestria from larger threats so that the princesses don't have to be involved, although I may have over engineered her a bit." Twilight calmly stated.
Celestia walked up to the form of the alicorn lying asleep on the observation table, "does she have a name yet?" celestia asked.
Twilight responded, " I was planning on her picking a name once she wakes up, which should be as soon as I inject her with the nullifying potion to cancel out the sedatives,"
"What is the status of her brain, will we need to teach her everything From scratch?" Celestia asked while looking over the alicorn.
"No, I transplanted the soul and memories of another being into it, unfortunately no ponies, or any of the sentient beings on Equus were compatible so I took one from another dimension, one that shouldn't freak out as much as be confused, it was nonreligious, and lived alone, so it shouldn't try to kill us thinking we're some kind of demons, although I don't know it's original gender, so I'm unsure as to how it will react to that," Twilight responded matter of factly.
"Ok, for now I'll ignore the morality of doing this, but I will have a stern talk with you about it later, but for now would you please awaken her?" Celestia said in a very stern voice.
"Uhh... Alright, here we go" Twilight nervously replied, she then proceeded to inject a small syringe full of the bluish nullifier potion.

Dave's POV.
I tried to wake up, finding myself in the rift between sleep and awake, I started to feel my body come to, everything felt weird everything from my skin to the arrangement of my organs was off, I sure hope I'm still dreaming. I also became very aware of a migrane that made me feel like I'd gotten hit with a plane to the head, that was enough to wake me up, "Ughh" I muttered, I reached around for my glasses and not finding anything, so I opened my eyes to see that I was in something that looked like a doctor's office, exept the ceiling was shiny and almost like glass, and oddly enough I could see fine without my glasses. I looked around a bit and then suddenly saw a pair of huge eyes staring at me to my right, "Ahh!... The fuck?" I groggily slurred, " please tell me I'm still dreaming," I asked nobody in particular. I also noticed my voice was different, more feminine, I couldn't describe more than that.
" Sorry ta tell ya this pal, but ya ain't" I heard someone say, it was feminine and sounded like some stereotypical Texan.
I looked around again and saw that there were 7 other figures in the room, all of which were weird colors, ranging from butter to navy blue I realised they were the same as the main characters of MLP plus some. Then I looked at myself, I was greeted with 2 mounds of flesh which I asumed were attached to me, and after I removed the sheet covering my body I also noticed I was covered in a deep purplish fur that slowly changed to a bluish color near the ends of my appendages, I felt my face and I had huge eyes and a shout, along with 2 fucking horns on top of my forehead, I was obviously a girl but other than that I had no clue what I was,'ok let's take this logically' I thought before talking," Ok, before I totally loose it can someone please tell me what happened to me?" I asked, looking at myself in disbelief.
"You're an Alicorn now" the white one near the bed stated I a calm and almost soothing tone..
" ok... That doesn't tell me much... Umm can someone please tell me where I am at least" I asked barely remaining calm.
" You are on the planet Eqqus, in the country Equestria, in the town of Ponyville, in my castle, in my lab" The purple one stated, nervously
"Okay, good now, can someone please tell me who all of you are, so I don't have to call everyone by color" I asked, I then moved my legs off the side of the bed, and sat up.
The purple one then said, I'm Twilight sparkle, these are Applejack, rarity, pinkie pie, rainbow dash, Fluttershy, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna," she said pointing at each one as she stated their names.
In my head I sorta said, 'i knew it' then moved on to looking each of them over, twilight was wearing some of what I'd call work clothes, Applejack had on a plaid shirt and dirty overalls, Rarity was wearing a white blouse and a black skirt, rainbow dash was wearing a sports bra and some shorts, pinkie was wearing a printed tank top that read, 'PARTY TIME' in bright pink lettering and short-shorts, and Fluttershy was wearing a pair of dirty overalls and nothing else, Celestia was in a silky white dress, and Luna was wearing a similar dress but it was patterned like the night sky, both were a fair bit taller than the rest of the group.
"I'm gonna assume twilight was the one that did this to me, as she said this is her lab?" I asked, Everyone in the room just nodeed, " Twilight, would you please come here for a sec," I said with an almost sadistic grin. She walked up to me and I decided to give her a piece of my mind, I ottoman slapped her in the head (spreading the hand as wide as possible and using the weight of the arm to impart more force). She stumbled a bit and cradled the side of her head.
" What in tarnation did ya do that for" Applejack almost yelled
"Yeah, why the fuck did you hit our freind" Rainbow Dash added angrily
" I did it because she dragged me out of my own fucking universe, and dropped me here without thinking of how I'd feel about this clusterfuck," I said flatly.
" Oh uhh point taken ah guess" she said in a sorta guilty understanding tone.
" I guess that makes sense, just don't do it again or I'll beat the shut outta you" Rainbow fumed in reply.
Twilight piped up and said, "why in tartarus did that slap hurt so much!"
"It's called an Ottoman Slap, it takes advantage of the users arm and hand to impart more force, aka it hurts a lot, or maybe I'm just a lot stronger, and I hope that hurt enough to teach you something" I stated
" I do believe she deserved that" Rarity added, and everyone save Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.
" ohialmostforgotthatihavetothrowyouawelcomeparty!!!" Pinkie almost yelled, and then she Zipped off out of the door.
"Uhhhhhh... The fuck?" I said in utter confusion.
"Don't mind her, we don't even know" rainbow dash answered.
Then Celestia spoke up, "what's happening to your cutie mark?"
I looked at my hips and sure enough they were acting weird, they were changing between several images and sometimes flickering. " huh, weird" I commented, not really caring because it looked kinda cool.
"I'll research it when I get the chance, but first, let me tellyou about yourself"

20 minutes later rarity's boutique
"Thanks for making me something to wear" I told Rarity, glad that I wouldn't have to walk around nude anymore.
" It really is no trouble darling" she said as she finished making the pants I wanted, a simple pair of denim jeans nothing overly fancy. "Here try these on" a he then handed me the pair of jeans, just as I asked, she'd even embroidered the end of the left pant leg to look like a little bit of lightning dancing across the bottom, a nice touch in my opinion I slipped into the pants, they were comfortable and felt durable as well. Within the hour she had made me a blue t shirt and underpants as well.
" I can't thank you enough, rarity" I told the seamstress
Soon I walked outside to meet up with everyone else, I stumbled a few times because I hadn't gotten used to the new leg geometry or having hooves, but I got there, I couldn't wait to figure out how to fly, as I'd figured out that I also had some awesome looking wings as well, the main feathers had the colors of the fire spectrum, gradiating from a dark blue to a bright orange with a black tip on each, save a few of the ones at my wingtips which were an electric blue, I also noticed my hair was pretty cool too, it had the color of fusion plasma, muted pinks whites and slight yellows, and the ends of it were very similar to the princesses' in that it sorta looked aetherial and wavy, and it had an electric blue stripe running through it. In the boutique I'd also seen my horns in the mirror, rather than a smooth spiral cone like the average unicorn they were like blades in shape, they were bolt straight, flat ish, and had something like a tanto tip, the short one had the tanto part facing the opposite direction, both of them had some kind of weird softly glowing writing on the surface.
We had decided to find a quiet place to talk everything over, we chose Fluttershy's place, everyone but twilight, fluttershy, the princesses and I left, on the way I kept thinking everything over, about earth, and everything I left behind, it was a scary prospect, so I chose not to think about it too much and focus on the task at hand, what I'm doing here, why, and getting the lay of the land so I can live some kind of life.

Fluttershy's cottage
I walked inside and was greeted with the tidal wave of what I can only describe as zoo-smell and tons of animals roaming about, and right then and there I realised that my sense of smell was waaay stronger now.
"Come on everyone, take a seat, don't worry my animals won't bite,"Fluttershy almost cooed,
"Nice little place ya got here," I said trying to ignore the stench.
We all set down to some tea and twilight and I started asking questions about each other, she also pulled what I'd assume was their equivalent of a smartphone, it was made of wood and had a little circular screen on it, as well as a tiny keypad composed of typewriter style keys.
"What do you want your name to be?" twilight asked first.
" that's a bit tough, ummm, I think I'll go with Nova because it sorta fits, I guess, and it sounds cool" I answered.
"Ok, well that's easy enough, what else do you want to ask me?"
" how am I going to earn money?" I asked
"I'll let the princesses answer that one" she responded.
Luna cleared her throat, "Thee shall be paid by us and receive free medical care, magic, weapons, and flying training, in return for thy service protecting Equestria should it require it. We shall also provide lodging should thee requireth it," she then continued," Thy will be kept under observation by Twilight, until thy are ready to enter society"
"Ok, I can agree to that" I said without much thought to what confinement entailed
" you're taking this well, in supried that you aren't an insane mess" Celestia stated, she seemed pretty suprised.
" just focusing on here and now, and once I find the bar and some good stiff drinks, I'll be ok, by the way, after were done here I'm going to your bar so in can take my mind off of this shit" I replied with a grin
"Unfortunately we can't bring you along, the public would freak out and you're kind of a top secret project, we got you to rarity's with a cloaking spell, but I can bring you a bottle of something, once twilight has deemed it safe"Celestia added with a weird grin on her face.
"Fine, but you owe me a bottle of alcohol" I said, more than a bit dissapointed.
