(Current time, ''Dark Knight''s crash site, 3 rd person)

"No, were here." and true to his word the ship was there with two figures looking at a Holo- table hooked up to the ship and another one in green looking straight at them with some sort of bow aimed at a tree far from them.

They stopped as they realized that they had been noticed by one of them and not the other two. And at this Twilight tried to rush towards the green figure when stopped by her brother.

"Careful Twi we don't know if they are friendly or not." Shining advised her as he held her back.

Ten minutes they just stared. Stared for minutes that felt like hours to them.

(10 minutes later)

They were still staring at each other, until an impatient Twilight said a little too loud, "So Who are you?"

At the noise, the Inquisitor and Talon turned around with both of their rifles pointed at them until they saw the scientist, and when they did they lowered their rifles down a little but ready to open fire at them if needed. But, they lowered their rifles even more when Arrow put his bow on his back, almost as one The inquisitor walked forward with Arrow on his right and Talon on is left in arrow formation and stopped halfway across the clearing, with Logos appearing on his shoulder RvB style. On Bluejay's side he motioned for the Princesses to walk forward to meet them, and they did, the four princesses, a guard captain, a group of civilians, and an armed scientist. Now only a few feet separated them, the ATLs with a downed ship behind them and the Inhabitants with the forest and sunrise behind them. Then the princess of the sun decided to try to make a conversation with the one that looked like the leader.

"Well hello, welcome to Equus. I am princess Celestia, co- ruler of Equestria, would like to extend Equestria's greeting to you, Mr..." she left unfinished, hoping to get a name.

"..."

"..."

"..."

At this silent exchange Celestia looked a little crestfallen that the new beings were being silent.

"... It's Inquisitor Zero Two"

Beaming at this new information Celestia it up and said "Well Mr. Inquisitor, welcome to Equestria, land of friendship and harmony."

Then the one on his left in blue armor said "Ha friendship and harmony, that's rich, even the most safe places are chaotic... and friendship... that's a different sto-"

At this the one on the right in green hissed at his brother "Talon, now is not the time for this."

"Why not, it's the most opportune time to bring it up-" he then turned to the princess and said "- well since you know soooo much about 'friendship and harmony'. Tell us how many you have defeated with 'roses and flowers', and if you can name even one. I will eat my shoes."

(1 hour later after a talk about how Twilight defeated Tirek and Starlight whom was now Twilight's apprentice now with the magic of friendship.)

At this, it left three very shocked ATLs which is very hard to do, even when they are staring death in the face they are upturned. Then Arrow started to laugh and Pinky started in on the laughing after asking "Whats so funny?" Once Arrow finished with his laughing fit he pointed to Talon and said "Talon, shoe, go." and this caused everyone except for Talon, Bluejay, and the Inquisitor to laugh.

"It was an expression brother." Talon said with ice in his voice.

At this Arrow stopped laughing and got up beside the Inquisitor. "Understood."

All the others that weren't up already, got up and stared at them with their sudden change in demeanor.

"... What did you come here for?" The Inquisitor said impatiently.

"Well we wanted to see if you were alright and -" Celestia said before being interupted by Twilight.

"And we wanted to study your technology, if it is okay with you." she finished after looking at her mentors disapproving face.

Looking at the sun princess, the Inquisitor said "Thanks for looking up on us, and..." Inquisitor then looks at Twilight, "Twilight, is it?"

Shocked at his knowledge of her name she asked "How did you know my name?"

"Well Mr. Bluejay had installed a file on you and I heard Mr. Shining say your short name." the Inquisitor said calmly.

"Why did you ask if you already knew my name." Twilight inquired.

At this the Inquisitor raised his hand and said "Wanted to make sure and did you know that-" he then held up his rifle "that these were made in the heat of war and cause death and destruction wherever they are if they are in the wrong hands?" he questioned as the group whom had not been around a gun look shocked at the rifle. Then Celestia marched up to the Inquisitor and held out her hand and said.

"Hand it over, Now!"

Seeing how this might end, Bluejay said from a distance, "Um, Princess, there's two things you should know. One: never, ever try to take an ATL's weapon away from them. It can lead to mass bloodshed."

At this the sun princess looked at the scientist, to the ATLs, then to her hand which she lowered, and turned to the scientist and asked "Two?"

"You just asked that to an ATL Inquisitor, which are the most deadly out of all the ATLs. Hence, the name."

Celestia then turned back to the ATLs looked at them in new interest. After a while of this she said to her nieces "Twilight, get your friends out of here, same for you Cadence."

"But-"

"GO NOW"

Suddenly there was a bright light as the said people were teleported away, and when they were gone Celestia teleported her sword along with her sister, but Shining was hesitant.

Luna noticed this and said "Shining why aren't tho-"

Then Arrow said to the Inquisitor "Sir around 48 entities labeled as Timber- wolves are nearing us, I suggest that we get them-" he motions towards the locals "and get them to safety on the ship."

"Agreed, it is our duty to protect 'normals', Arrow and Scientist, go get them to the bridge, Talon, can you kindly mow them down please?"

With that the three said "Yes, sir." as they did their respective tasks, but with some resistance of the locals but changed when the wave of Timber- wolves appeared. and once the wolves appeared, Talon and the Inquisitor opened fire as the wolves charged them, only to find that their weapons were jammed (not strawberry). At this they threw down their rifles and pulled out their swords, Talon with his double blade and Inquisitor with his katana and knife, then they charged the charging. As soon as they were within hitting distance they jet- jumped up and over into the middle of the pack and started to melee the wolves in a tornado of charged steel with a bolt of electricity hitting one once in a while. As soon as it started it was over with the two ATLs surrounded by fire wood, and at this Celestia turned pale from the bridges window. Seeing this as an opportunity Bluejay said "They only fight the people whom endanger the ones that cannot protect themselves and the same ones that threaten their allies." and at this the princesses visibly relaxed as Arrow gave the Scientist an rare nod of approval. As soon as the two other ATLs walked onto the bridge Arrow reported that the ship was good to fly as the princesses apologized for their actions. Seeing this as an opportunity to land the ship in a more 'friendly' place he said

"Hey it's alright, but we need to move the ship to a safer location. So if you can you know, tell them not to shoot us down, please?"

And at this they teleported away leaving the scientist with the ATLs. "Okay, Bluejay is it?"

"Yes sir." he looked up expectantly.

"Good, tell us where the nearest place to land would be."

"Its near one of my bases in a town called Ponyville."

"You've been busy." Talon said from his console.

"Well that happens when you are stuck on this rock for ten years."

(Warning, slight gore coming up)

At this Arrow said "Hey Logos, land the ship, will ya?"

And the group walked out of the bridge with Talon going to the ship's armory to get a replacement weapon for himself. When the ship touched down outside Ponyville they were greeted by the original group and a crowd surrounding the landing ramp of the ship as the ATLs and Scientist walked off the ship as the ramp closed.

As they walked up to the crowd Talon said "Wow, small crowd."

With this, Bluejay replied "Hey this is the whole town, not like New Trinity."

"What really, and man was that colony crowded." Talon said as they got to the group still talking to the Scientist

"Yeah I know, and on New Trinity I was on the last evac ship you evacuated 20 years ago when the RAU Attacked the dam-" Bluejay's sentence was cut short as a shot rang out and he started to fall forward, then Bluejay sank to his knees as he took his last breath. As he fell Talon cached the falling body and laid it to rest closing Bluejay's eyes, and as Talon was doing this Arrow and the Inquisitor tracked the shot to an RAU sniper on the farthest hill. Aiming his rifle straight where Bluejay's head was a second ago now.

The fatal rifle was aimed at the Inquisitor. A shot rang out, the bullet went through the Inquisitor's left heart. The Inquisitor stumbled, but did not fall, and if you were close enough like the royal sisters were. You would have seen the wound close on its own as the ATL's natural regeneration powers worked.
