Craters and somethin' metal in the Everfree

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Breane's eyes opened... there was something brown covering her visor, expecting mud Breane attempted to wipe off the mud but her hand couldn't reach her face. The spartan realized that she was lying face down in the dirt. Meekly, she pushed herself on the ground and looked around. She captured and image of a crater and a forest. Then, she pasted out...


Twilight and her three friends slowly crept through the forest, hoping, but also not hoping to find what had caused the explosion.

"Ah really don't see the point in finding this thing Twilight." Applejack whispered, "Ah mean, couldn't we wait for tha royal guard?"

"Yes, yes we could Applejack but they would take to long. They probably just heard the sound from the explosion now!"

"I agree with Applejack Twilight, this doesn't really seem ethical." Rainbow Dash said, looking at her surroundings.

"But this is of upmost importance to me, Princess Celestia and Equestria!" Twilight was close to shouting now.

"Could you keep it down?" Applejack whispered violently.

"Sorry, sorry." Twilight whispered.

"Hey girls, over here!" Pinkie Pie said in a hyped up voice.

"What did you find Pinkie?" Twilight ran over to her pink friend

"A crater and a metal thingy!"

"Thingy?" Twilight finally reached her friend and stared into the crater. As Pinkie Pie had said, there was a enormous blue and metal robot, which also had faded yellow on it.

"What is that thing?" Rainbow Dash questioned, eying the strange metallic thing.

"I couldn't say..." Applejack said dimly

"It's weird." Pinkie Pie announced.

"You girls stay back, I want to check it out but I also don't you three getting hurt."

Twilight slowly crept down the crater wall and stopped and the "base" of the metal figure. The violet unicorn levitated a small piece of wood and poked the metal around a piece or orange glass.

"What is this thing?"

After about the third prod, the metal machine made an odd noise and lifted one of its four legs. Twilight gasped and scrambled backwards.

"Are you okay Twilight?" Applejack slowly came down the wall to Twilight.

"Yes, yes, I'm fine. I was just spooked by the movement."

"It moved?" Applejack stared at the metal, outlandish contraption.

"What happened?" Rainbow Dash started to walk down with Pinkie.

"Apparently this thang moved."

"What!" Rainbow Dash circled around the metal thing, putting up her hooves, preparing for hoofticuffs.

"Rainbow, I really doubt that it will fight you right now silly!"

"You never know Pinkie, you never know."

By now the four ponies could hear distant voices shouting, "Twilight? Twilight Sparkle? Can you hear us?"

"Sounds like the guards." Twilight explained, "Yes I can hear you! I'm over here!" Twilight shouted back at the voices.

After about twenty seconds three royal guards entered the scene. The obvious captain instantly noticed the clunk of metal and shouted for everypony to step back while his guards disassembled the situation. The captain walked up to the four ponies and asked, "Who was the one who originally found this thing?"

Twilight looked at Pinkie, who shook her head, apparently she didn't like the look of the guard. Twilight looked back to the captain, "It was me, sir."

"Well then miss, you are coming with me."

"Am... Am I being arrested?"

"No, just for some questing. It should be very brief."

"Oh, okay then. I guess I'll come."

"Thank you miss, please step with us, away from your companions."

Twilight stepped next to the three royal guards and the youngest one cast a teleporting spell. The spell warped four ponies and one metal, irregular object.

Applejack looked to the two others and said, "Well girls, looks like we'd better get back to tha others."

"Yeah, sure." Rainbow Dash said and started walking back to their friends.


The guard captain had taken Twilight to a small bland room and sat her infront of a table and sat at the other end.

"Alright, Ms. Sparkle. As I have already told you have done nothing wrong, I am just here to ask you a few questions about the metal object found in the Everfree forest."

"Okay, sure officer."

"The first question is what were you doing before you discovered the object?"

"I was going out for a picnic with my friends in a field just near the entrance of the Everfree."

"What are your friends names?"

"Pinkamena Diane Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Fluttershy."

"Those are... the Elements of Harmony correct?"

"Yes." The captain wrote down a few notes.

"What did you do when you first saw the object?"

"My first thought was 'what is it?' but my first physical action was prodding the object with a stick to see what its reaction was."

"Was there a reaction?"

"Yes, the object lifted one of its legs, then the leg dropped back down and then nothing happened"

"Exactly what happened after you finished your 'experiment'?"

"Umm, about thirty seconds after you and your team came in."

"Well, if that's all I'm gonna get, then that's all I'm gonna get. You're free to go Miss Sparkle."

"Thank you." Twilight walked out the door and proceeded to exit the castle and back to Ponyville.


Breane woke. The bright light was blinding her. She used her hand to shield her eyes while she sat up right. Once her eyes had adjusted to the light, Breane took in her surroundings, she was in some sort of medical bay. Except everything in this certain medical bay was extremely small. Even to small for a marine. Breane looked down and saw that the medics had layed out three beds just to suit her.

Breane swung her legs over the third bed and stumbled up,

"Geez, whats wrong with me?"

Breane looked at the small door and almost crawled to it. She pulled herself under the minuscule door and into the hallway. Breane gazed around the also small hallway, apparently everything here was small. Breane noticed something to her left and saw two small white legs brush away from her, around a corner, and the legs had some sort of blue and bushy tail.

"Is that some sort of creepy ONI experiment?" Breane questioned herself.

Breane went the other way of the "experiment" and found herself walking through some sort of medieval castle. Breane pranced around a corner and bashed into something under half her height. Breane looked down and saw a equine wearing golden armour.

"What in the fu..?"

The equine jumped up and almost shouted "Halt!"

Breane was still sitting, "Waaait, you can talk?"

The equine looked at Breane again, "Silence, Come with me to the Princess."

Breane raised her eyebrow under her helmet, "You serious?"

"Silence! Come with me!"

"Nah." Breane slapped the equine across the face, knocking it out instantly.

"Wait? Did that horse say princess? Eh, probably talking about some ONI scientist."

Breane got balk up and walked to a giant metal door, assuming it was the exit, and pushed it open. Once the door was open  Breane walked across a garden, "Gee, ONI really out did themselves with this one."

Once Brane reached a gate, she opened it and saw a enormous city, bustling with pastel coloured horses, "Holy Hell."

One of the horses saw Breane and let out a high pitched scream, alerting all the other horses.

             "Shit."
