Harmony Quest: Tale of the Light and Dark

          The portal trip was fascinating and magical. With the insanely bright colors in there, it's hard to not miss it and not close your eyes at the same time.

          'Whoa... This is insane!' Frisk shouted in the fourth-dimensional portal tunnel since she thought Starlight couldn't hear her.

          'I know right? I just finished making this!' She replied.

          As they flew for a good minute or so, they stumbled upon some kind of portal network, with a few doors (well just 2 actually). One said The Crystal Empire and the other said Ponyville.

          'Now where do we go?' Frisk asked.

          'I'm guessing we go through the Ponyville doorway, right?' Twilight was curious too.

          'Ah, yes. The portal must've been able to connect to all the different active portals in Equestria. So, with the one in your castle activated and the one in The Crystal Empire, we can go to one of these two locations. This should help speed up the process of going from one place to another.' Starlight explained, opening the doorway. 'Come on, let's go.'

          The trio went through the doorway, and the exit to Twilight's castle was in sight.

          Pinkie Pie was pacing around the portal, waiting for the three to come in. Suddenly, her 'Pinkie sense' made her tail start shaking uncontrollably.

          'Hmm...' She thought. 'Three, two, one...'

          And then the trio busted out from the portal, luckily they slid along the floor and didn't hit the wall.

          'Ouch, we REALLY need to make it so that we won't land face-first onto the floor when we come out of the portal.' Starlight said to herself. She turned to Pinkie Pie. 'Hey Pinkie, guess who I brought-Huh?' Before she can say anything, Pinkie was already cuddling Twilight and Frisk like crazy.

          'Welcome back!' She said.

          'I didn't actually expect to be back so soon, but Starlight came over and woke me up,' Twilight giggled.

          As Frisk finally got herself out of Pinkie's hooves, she wanted to ask Starlight about the portal.

          'Thanks to Pinkie's fourth wall breaking skills that she used to somehow get the exact coordinates of your planet, I decided to make a portal similar to the one in the Crystal Empire and targeted your country as it's location. Now, with the portal always being active, you can visit us anytime you wish.' Starlight explained.

          'That's pretty convenient,' Frisk replied.

          Twilight immediately thought about her friends. 'That's right! My friends! Pinkie, are they in the throne room?' She asked.

          'Well, not exactly because it's nighttime right now.' Pinkie answered. 'I told them that you were coming back.'

          'I can go and take a look.'

          Everypony was casually sleeping during the night. And, Twilight wanted to return to her own bed as well.

          'You can stay, I don't mind.' Frisk told her.

          'Alright, bye then Frisk.' Twilight replied, getting into bed.

          Frisk walked back out and closed the door. 'Sweet dreams.' She said.

          The next day back on Earth, Frisk was pacing around the throne room when she was not having meetings with other officials and had free time, thinking about an interesting idea.

          Asriel came in. 'What's the matter, sister?'

          'I've been thinking,' She replied. 'We have this portal here in this room if we can send objects through the portal, and not just people, can we transfer things from this world to the pony world and back?' She pointed to the portal.

          'It's worth a shot,' He said. 'And I have a cool idea...'

          Frisk saw him fetching his camera and he handed it over to her. 'What's the camera for?'

          'I never visited the pony world before, I was always curious about Twilight ever since you introduced her. It would be cool to look at how the pony world looks like,' Asriel explained.

          So Frisk jumped into the portal to travel back to the pony world again.

          After coming out of the portal from the other side, she found the camera around her neck was still there.

          'It works!' She thought.

          She went to the library to find Starlight, who was just casually reading books.

          Starlight was curious when she saw her camera. 'Oh, hi Frisk, what's that on your neck?' She asked.

          'This thing? Oh, it's a camera, we can use it to take pictures.' Frisk answered.

          'Huh, it's not as big and bulky as the one Photo Finish has, pretty interesting.'

          'Right, my brother wants me to take photos around Equestria to him since he has never visited this place before and wanted me to tell him about it. See you around,' Frisk said, as she walked out of the library.

          So Frisk took photos around different places of Equestria to show him how good this place is. From the Canterlot castle to Rainbow falls, and other cool places, it was very different to how the human world looks, especially the technology.

          Before sleeping, Frisk chatted with Asriel about Equestria and showed him the photos. During the middle, Twilight came in and saw what they were doing.

          'Asriel? You're not supposed to-Wait, what are those pictures for?' She was sensing something fishy.

          Frisk wanted to hide the camera quickly. 'This isn't how it looks!'

          'Did you take photos from Equestria? But how?'

          Asriel explained what happened. 'Frisk was wondering whether we can pass objects through the portals of the pony world and this world respectively, and when she tried to test that theory with my camera, I asked her to take some photos around Equestria, since I've never been there.'

          Twilight immediately thought of something that wasn't good. 'Oh no, we cannot let the other humans know about this, or else they will try to take over our world! Just as I predicted before, I knew this could happen.'

          'Well, I don't think they will straight up want to take over here, I guess they will just use your kind to their advantage, or maybe collaborate with you all to do research that may help our kind a lot,' Asriel replied.

          As soon Frisk heard her brother, she thought of an awesome and incredible idea. '(Gasps) Asriel, you are a genius! Why didn't I think of this?'

          'What are you saying?'

          'We should actually help both of our kinds to collaborate on researching things that we never thought possible, it will be such a huge change!'

          Twilight was curious on how it will work out. 'But, we don't have quite as good technology as you guys do here, how could we do that?'

          'With the portal, anything can transfer through it. This means we can possibly transfer technology from our world and bring it into yours!' Frisk explained. 'In your world, electricity is obviously a major thing that you guys lack.If we can somehow generate electricity without harming your world's environment... It would be perfect.'

          'There's one problem: Is this actually a good idea? I have the feeling the selfish rulers will try to encourage their people that they will be better off destroying our world to get our world's most precious things.' Twilight questioned.

          'Come on, it's a great idea. I bet this will be great. I promise that nothing will go wrong,' Frisk replied, holding out her 'promise finger'.

          'Okay... I trust you,' Twilight did the same, with the two fingers linking, they've made their promise.

          Through the next few years, empress Frisk wanted to bring human technology into the pony world, in order to get a shot at the human world collaborating with Equestria. Surprisingly after a bit of consideration, Celestia agreed to the plan. Even though funding was incredibly hard at first, it eventually worked out. This only gave the ponies a great idea, that was the same as us humans: Increasing the level of technology in their world. But how can this be done?

          The answer was simple. After the pony world has successfully changed a lot thanks to technology, the news eventually spread to the human world. This became a viral sensation, and the humans were very interested. News flashes came left and right about the discovery of this magical world, and even hit the internet. Many theories popped up on social media talking about it, with headings like:

          'The discovery that shocked the world'

          'Equestria: Possibly the second Earth?'

          'Country discovers mythical land!'

          And, this was such a viral thing, that some people even go as far to venture into the world and try to negotiate with the ponies.
