I stared out the window and saw the land flying past me. I looked at the mountains, the clouds, and the trees that whizzed by me too fast for my liking. I looked down at my helmet on my lap, thinking on the craziness that happened a few hours ago.

Right after Twilight got that letter from the princess, she was freaking out like no tomorrow. Me being a complete idiot, I just asked who she was and Twilight started going on about “Her Greatness” and “Magical abilities”? I didn't really care and asked her what was on the letter. All she told was that I was needed at “The Castle” and started getting me prepared for the trip.

She bought me a ticket and put me on the train ride there. I argued that I wouldn’t leave Nix behind. We managed to work something out and put Nix on a extra train cart for massive loads. I asked if any of them were coming. Twilight told me that the Princess wanted to see me alone. Right now I was sitting in a private cabin with nothing to do but stare out the window.

I decided that I should check up on Nix and see if she was okay. I put my helmet in the seat next to me and stood up. I unlatched the locks on the window and slid it open all the way. I popped my head out of the window and looked back at the last cart. I had to brush the hair out of my face from the wind, but I was able to see Nix all the way in the back. She was strapped down all the way with ropes and locks. When I looked back, I noticed that she was looking back at me as well. She raised a hand and waved at me. I smiled and waved back.

I pulled my head back into the cabin and closed the window. I sat back in my seat and thought of ways on how not to fuck this whole thing up. The fact that I was going to be a princess should have excited me. When I was younger I used to love that kind of crap. That was before my parents died and I had to learn how to grow up. I had to leave all of that behind in order to survive. I closed my eyes and waited until we got there.

I felt something nudge my shoulder and it woke me up instantly. I looked to my right and saw a pony standing there. The pony was orange and had blue jet hair. I also noticed he had a pair of wings. However, this one was different from the other ponies I met. It wore golden armor and held a spear. I saw that he was pointing it at me and he looked slightly nervous. I scowled.

“There is no fucking way you just poked me with that thing.” I growled. The pony stepped back slightly and I saw him shivering. I sighed and stood up. He seemed to cower down lower after seeing my height. He looked like he was about five feet tall. He was only a foot shorter, but he seemed as if I could eat him in one bite. I shook my head and grabbed my helmet. I slipped it on my head stretched my arms. “Lead the way little guy”

I walked out of the cabin and looked around the area. The whole area seemed deserted. I knew we were at a train station, so wouldn’t there be at least a few ponies here. I felt a jab in my leg. I looked down and saw him trying to get me to move with his spear. I growled.

“Don't fucking poke me, you little shit!” I yelled in his face. I walked away from him and headed to the back of the train. When I made it to the back, I saw Nix and a few ponies taking her restraints off. I walked over to Nix and patted her leg. “How you doing, girl?” She looked own at me.

“I am fine Alex, you?” I shrugged. One of the ponies walked up to me. He wore what looked like a conductors uniform.

“You should be able to leave now miss. You can just follow the guard behind you and you'll be all set.” he said while smiling. I was surprised on how calm he was. I would have thought he would be a bit nervous like the little shit behind me. He seemed to understand my silence somehow. He took off his cap and scratched the back of his head.

“I wanted to say thank you for helping my daughter back in Ponyville. I didn’t know about it until I got there on the train. I was so worried when I heard that a monster attacked. I was worried that it would have gotten to her. Thank Celestia you showed up.” he said while holding back some tears. He then put his cap on and held out his hoof. I smiled and took it in my hand, shaking it slightly.

I took my hand away from the pony and touched my arm control. I put my titan on follow mode and turned around to see the pony guard looking at my titan in fear. I snapped my fingers in his face to get him out of his shock. He shook his slightly and started walking to the castle. I followed closely behind with my titan in tow.

We walked for about an half hour before we were standing at the gates of the castle. The guard walked over to a pair of guards standing next to the door. I saw him talking to the other guards and nodding. A moment later, the big double doors opened and revealed the white marbled floors and ceiling in the castle. I began to walk inside before a spear was placed in front of me.

I looked down and saw the same fucking guard holding his spear in front of me, not allowing me to pass. I was about to grab his spear before I heard a voice behind me. I turned around and saw another royal guard, but this one was not wearing golden armor. He was wearing purple armor instead and he did not have a helmet on. He had a white coat with different shades of blue hair.

“We can’t allow you in yet. We can’t allow your... thing to walk inside the castle. He is too big and must be taken somewhere else” he said while looking over at my titan. I sighed. She was too big for the doors. I reluctantly pressed a button on my arm and turned it off follow mode. I looked up at my titan.

“Nix, follow one of these guys alright. They should take care of you until I’m done here” I said while tapping my head. It was a silent message we made in case of separation. It meant to contact me of anything suspicious. I moved the guards spear out of my way and walked into the castle with the purple one and the spear guard walking ahead of me.

I followed the two guards through the castle for at least thirty minutes. I was about to ask where they were taking me until we were standing in front of two golden doors. The purple one walked to the door and tapped his hoof on it in a certain pattern. A moment later, the two big double doors opened slowly. He walked inside and I followed closely behind. I looked back and saw no one there holding the door open. That made my mind go blank for a second.

I turned back around and was met with one of the craziest things I have ever seen. What I saw was a pony, but this pony was much more different than any other I have seen. For one, it was freaking huge. I mean it wasn’t massive like my titan, but you can see the size difference between it and the ponies beside me. It also had a horn and wings. So far I’ve only seen ponies with one of those. It’s mane was also completely different. It had a white coat, but it’s mane was almost like a rainbow that flowed on a invisible wind.

The big pony was talking with another pony as we entered. She was talking to a white pony with blonde hair that had a compass mark on his flank. I looked back at the big white pony and noticed she was looking back at me. She said something to the white pony and he looked back at us. He looked at me specifically. As soon as he saw me he cringed and walked away with his nose in the air.

I watched the pony walk out of the room like a peacock. I resisted the urge to shoot him in the balls. The purple pony walked pass me and stood in front of the Big white pony. He whispered something I wasn’t able to hear and then bowed. I then felt a painful jab in my side. I looked down and saw the fucking guard glaring at me. Was he trying to get me to bow!? I had enough of this shit fuck. I quickly reached down and grabbed his spear. In one quick motion, I broke the spear in half. I took the two pieces and threw them across the room.

“That was not very nice Flash Sentry.” I heard a female voice say behind me. I turned around and saw the big pony smiling at me. She looked down at the guard and frowned. “You are dismissed for now. I wish to speak to the human alone” she said while nudging her head out the door. The guard walked out of the room with his head low. I also noticed the purple guard walk out of the room after the other one. He closed the doors behind him and left me in here with the big ass pony.

I stood there staring at the pony In silence. She stared back with a smile on her face.
“I know that is not your face. Do you mind removing your helmet?” she asked. I shrugged and removed my helmet. I tucked it underneath my pit and moved some strands of hair out of my eyes. I saw her tilt her head sideways.
“Interesting. You Humans have similar hair styles as we do.” I raised an eyebrow. Did she mean my pony tail? Is she saying that ponies wear pony tails?

“Not to be disrespectful, but are you Princess Celestia?” I asked. She nodded. That makes sense. I thought. “You called me here for a reason. I would like to know why.” I said while fixing some of my tangled hair. She smiled and stood up from her seat. I watched her step down from her throne and stand next to me. She stood about my height, but her horn made her two feet taller.
“Please follow me”

We walked through the hallways of the castle. I couldn’t help but look at all the art and furniture that filled each area when we turned into another part of the castle. What surprised me more was on how the Princess knew where she was going. To me, all these hallways looked the same. She probably walks through here about five times a day. I thought.

“The reason I called you here was to find out your purpose. I want to know why you are here and what your intentions are for Equis." she said, still keeping her eyes forward on the path ahead. I don't know why there always has to be a purpose for these type of things. Can't we all just say it was a big accident and you were never part of the plan. I looked over at her.

"We have no intention for your planet. We just stumbled across it before we were attacked and had to abandon our ship." I said nonchalantly. She nodded with a smile.

"Yes. I am happy to hear that your intentions are as the rest have said. I'm not so sure about the others that fell from the sky. From what they told me, they are not very fond of you." she said while taking another turn. I raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean? Who are the rest?" I asked. I looked ahead an noticed we were standing in front of two big double doors. These were made out of wood and had a sword and shield carved into it. I saw her horn light up and the two doors opened. When the two doors opened, I dropped my helmet. What I saw was my crew running around and setting up equipment in a giant courtyard that seemed to be the size of a football field. I saw nine drop ships landed far in the back of the courtyard and I saw three of my teams titans up front. I looked over at Celestia.

"They are the rest."


Author's Note

Alright. Go on. Tell me how bad this is. I know it needs better grammar and editing, but like I said before I am too lazy to find one. Unless there is someone to volunteer, you will have to live with this.
Next chapter will be out soon.
Also, I am looking for anyone who wants to be in the story. They can be a side character or part of Alex's team. Your choice. Send me a email if you are interested.
Until then
Peace!
