From outside the planet of Equus, the planet of the many creatures including ponies, griffons, and dragons, a small vortex began to open out of nowhere.

After a few seconds, a fairly large, tetrahedron-shaped ship came through before it closed. The ship appeared to be sparking with many hole in different parts of it.

Inside the ship, the pilot was in the seat appearing to struggle with the controls with a small diamond hover drone with short arms and a single optic hovering beside him.

"Sir! The ship has been severely damaged. We need to land soon."

"I know Circuit! And by the looks of it, we're not to far from a habited world. Brace yourself. We're about to come in close!"

....................................................

Meanwhile on the world of Equus, the famous Mane 6 along with a young dragon were all gathering in the back fields of the Castle of Friendship to watch an oncoming meteor shower. Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter, was jumping around as usual, laughing around like she normally would.

"Oh! I love meteor showers! They're always so sparkly and shiny and fun!"

"I have to agree with you darling," said Rarity, the Element of Generosity as she sat down a small picnic blanket. "I always enjoy the sight of majestic shooting stars. It does bring forth much inspiration."

"It also helps calm the night. I always do love a calm night." Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness, looked on to the sky in awe.

"I'll say. I'm so glad that weather control let us keep the skies clear for the night." Rainbow, the Element of Loyalty, was doing a few flights around the group.

Applejack, the Element of Honesty, placed down a bucket of apples to share between all of them. "Even I'll admit. Ah wouldn't mind a good calm night with ah good show."

Spike looked to the stars with sparkles in his eyes. "What I love most about a meteor shower is they look like a bunch of flying gems."

Twilight, the Element of Magic, chuckled at the dragon she saw as a brother. "We know Spike. We know. Anyways I'm excited myself. I always do enjoy watching as fragments of space debris enter our atmosphere as bright lights."

Rainbow smirked as she took an apple from the bucket. "Classic egghead Twilight. Always being slow with big words." Rainbow was about to take a bite from her apple when it disappeared in a flash of purple aura right as her mouth shut. Rainbow looked around before spotting it beside Twilight who was smirking herself.

"Who's slow now?"

Rainbow chuckled a bit before Twilight passed the apple back to her. "Okay. I deserve that."

Fluttershy then noticed the sky starting to light up. "Oh girls. It's starting."

Everyone looked to see just as the sky lit up with shooting stars. The girls and Spike watched in awe.

"It's so sparkly and flashy."

"So beautiful and peaceful."

"Quite a majestic show."

"It's awesome."

"Sure worth of a sight."

"It's always so incredible."

"You know girls, I'll always think of one thing when I see stars like this."

The girls looked to Twilight with curiosity as she continued, "With all of these stars and meteors out there and with how endless space is, could there be other kinds of life out there?"

"Well sugarcube, with how smart you are, I'm sure someday we'll all find out."

The girls then continued watching the meteor shower.

After a few seconds, Spike noticed something odd. "Ummm... Twilight?"

"Yes Spike?"

"Aren't shooting stars supposed to travel together?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Because I think I see one that's... Different."

Spike picked up a small telescope and looked out to what appeared to be a rogue meteor. However, the girls then noticed Spike went wide eyed for an unknown reason. Rarity questioned first. "Spike darling. What is it?"

"Twilight?... You might want to look at this."

Twilight raised an eyebrow before Spike passed her the telescope and looked out in the same direction Spike did.

"By Celestia. That's no meteor."

"What? Twilight? If it's not a meteor than what in pony's sake could it be."

"I don't know Rainbow Dash. But if my guess is right it should land somewhere outside of Ponyville."

"Umm... Twilight?"

"Yes Fluttershy?"

"I think you should look without the telescope."

Twilight lowered the telescope to see the unknown object heading right in their direction before flying over their heads and soon crashed somewhere not too deep into the Everfree forest.

Pinkie was the first to raise her head back up. "Oh. Did you see that? I saw that. It looked like a meteor. But it wasn't. It was something else. And it landed not too far into the Everfree Forest."

"Pinkie darling," Rarity dusted herself off a bit, "We know. We saw it too."

Fluttershy also stood up a little shaky. "Wha-what do you think it was?"

Applejack brushed her stetson off before looking out towards where smoke could be seen. "I don't know. But I reckon we go check it out."

"Are... Are you sure we should?"

"Come on Shy." Rainbow flew up and began swinging her hooves a bit. "Whatever it is, if it's dangerous, I bet we can handle it."

Spike then looked to Twilight. "Twilight? What do you think we should do?"

Twilight stood silent as she appeared to be in deep thought before finally speaking, "I think we should check it out. Like Rainbow said, we should be able to handle anything if we come across danger, plus somepony might have been hurt out there. We'll have a look and if it appears to be dangerous but if we're unnoticed we'll inform Princess Celestia and ask her to send some guards. Okay?"

The mares and Spike all nodded as they soon began leaving the castle's fields.

....................................

Some time later.

The girls were through the front of the Everfree Forest and closing in on the where the object crashed. Applejack looked to Twilight with a cautious look. "Twilight? I know you said that whatever this thing is wasn't a meteor, but can you give us any details for an idea on what it might be?"

Twilight thought for a moment. "Well... I know it had a small reflective surface while it began to burn as it entered our atmosphere. So I know it at least looked it was made of metal."

Pinkie popped up beside Twilight. "Ooooh! Do you think it could be an alien spaceship? I wonder if they're friendly. Or if they're some kind of spores that shoot some kind of dust or pollen into us through our ears and noses so it can turn into an alien baby to later break out of our bodies."

"PINKIE!!!"

"What?"

Rainbow looked to her with a annoyed look. "You're scaring Fluttershy."

Pinkie then looked over to see Fluttershy cowering a bit. "Oh. Sorry Fluttershy."

"I-it's okay. I do want to make sure that no animals were hurt by whatever that was that crashed."

Rarity was the furthest one ahead. "I think I see it girls."

They all soon came to the site and were stunned at what they found.

At the end of a rather long and large grove, there sat the ship from earlier in space. It appeared to have many punctures in it's hull along with many sparking wires hanging from it.

The group stood looking at the ship in awe and shock. Spike was the first one to speak up. "Wow... What do you think it is girls?"

Twilight looked at the ship before speaking. "To be honest Spike... I don't think any of us know."

"Ummm... Excuse me?"

The girls and Spike searched around them after hearing the unknown voice.

"Over here."

The group turned and went wide-eyed at spotting the small drone called Circuit.

"Hello. I need-."

"IT'S AN ALIEN!" Pinkie pulled a baseball bat out her mane and began swinging at the small drone. "Get back! You won't take me and my friends' brains without a fight!"

Circuit was doing his best to dodge all of Pinkie's swings. "Wait. Hold on. Now, now. No need for violence."

Twilight went wide-eyed before catching Pinkie's bat with her magic. "Hold on Pinkie!"

Twilight then turned to Circuit. "You speak English."

"Yes. It actually quite a common language. Now tell me are you locals of this world."

Twilight spoke for her friends. "Yes we are. But what are you-?"

"Ma'am. I can't afford to answer those questions at the moment. You see, what you see over there is my master's crashed ship. Like the ship, he has suffered many heavy and possibly severe injuries. I came out looking for help to get him somewhere for medical attention."

Rainbow flew up to the little drone. "Whoa. Whoa. Why should we listen to you little guy? You could be trying to trick or hurt us."

"I am not designed to lie ma'am. Now please I beg you all. My master's vitals are fading fast. If you can help me get him somewhere so I may perform medical attention, I will answer as many questions as I can."

Twilight thought for a moment before looking to Applejack for confirmation on Circuit's claim. Applejack looked to Twilight before nodding, responded with Twilight nodding as well. "Okay. We'll help you."

Rainbow looked to Twilight in surprise. "Twilight! You're seriously just going to help this thing when we know nothing about it?!"

Applejack stepped to Rainbow. "Calm down Dash. Remember I can tell if a lie is being told or not. And I know for a fact that this little fella is telling the honest truth. And I am not about to let a life, even one from out of our world, just go down without at least trying to help. Come on girls. Let's get in there."

Applejack, Spike, and Twilight followed Circuit to the ship, and after a few seconds of standing, the rest of the mares followed them.

.............................

The girls and Spike were soon lead into a room that appeared to be the front and cockpit. There, they looked around with Applejack speaking first, "So little guy..."

"Circuit miss."

"Circuit... What does your... "Master" look like?"

"He's right here."

The group turned to see Circuit hovering near what appeared to be a red furred, anthromorphic hedgehog who was assumed to be the height of an average stallion. He had many cuts and injuries from the crash and appeared to be unconscious.

Circuit scanned the hedgehog's body before blinking red from his eye. "He's alive but he's fading fast. Quickly."

Rainbow and Applejack moved over to lift the hedgehog onto Applejack's back.

"Now quickly! We must get him somewhere to perform medical attention."

Fluttershy spoke first out of the mares. "What about the hospital?"

Rainbow said, "No Shy. The hospital is too far away."

Circuit floated to Twilight. "If we can at least get him to more suitable area, I have the right medical tools on myself to save him."

Applejack then spoke up, "My farm ain't too far. That would be our best chance in my opinion."

"Then lead the way miss."

With that, the group made their way out of the ship.

.................................

At the orchard, Grand Pear was finishing his usual routine of making pear jam before going to bed.

After burying the year long hatchet, Granny Smith had offered to let Grand Pear live on the farm so the younger generation could have both grandparents and the full family together.

Granny Smith was sitting in the living room area with Big Macintosh and Apple Bloom, when they all heard a loud banging on the door.

"Granny Smith! Grand Pear! Someone open the door! It's an emergency!"

Big Mac was the first to reach the door only to be shocked when he found all of the girls with the anthro hedgehog still on his sister's back.

"What in the-?"

"Not now brother. Move aside. This one here needs help."

Big Mac listened to his sister and moved aside as the girls came rushing in and made their way to the guest room.

The girls cleared off the bed and Twilight and Fluttershy gently lifted the hedgehog off of Applejack's back and placed him on the bed. Circuit then hovered beside the hedgehog. "Okay. I must begin my work. If you all wouldn't mind. Please wait outside."

Twilight nodded and lead the girls outside the room where they were met by the Apple family.

"Applejack? What's going on?"

"Just give me a moment Granny Smith. I'll explain everything in a moment."

So everypony went back into the living room while Circuit began working on his master.

3 hours later

Applejack had just finished explaining to her family what had happened.

After a few moments of silence due to shock, Apple Bloom was the one to break the silence. "So wait... Are you saying that they're... Aliens?"

"I guess you can say that sugarcube."

Fluttershy was watching the room as she sat down. " I hope everything is going okay."

Soon the door opened and Circuit hovered out.

Twilight stood up to greet the little drone. "Is your master okay?"

"He's stabilized and awake. Luckily he didn't lose too much blood. He should heal very quickly."

Pinkie Pie jumped up happily. "That's great!"

"Now if you don't mind, my master would like to meet you."

Twilight looked to her friends before smiling at Circuit. "Sure."

The girls followed Circuit to the guest room where once inside, they found the hedgehog sitting up right on the bed. Circuit approached him with a bright flash in his eye. "Xavier sir? These are the ones who helped get you here."

The hedgehog, now known as Xavier, looked to the group before offering a small smile. "Thank you. My pal Circuit tells me you all saved my life. I'm grateful for that. I'm Xavier. And who do I have to thank for saving my life?"

"Well... I'm Princess Twilight. Princess of Friendship here in Equestria."

"You're royalty?"

"Yes but I'm just a normal civilian in personality. Anyways these are my friends."

"Ah'm Applejack."

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!"

"You can call me Rainbow Dash!"

"You may call me Rarity."

"I'm Spike."

Xavier then noticed Fluttershy standing by while covering herself with her mane. "And you are?"

"Ummm... I'm F-Fluttershy."

"Fluttershy? Nice name."

"Oh ummm... Thank you."

Twilight approached Xavier a bit. "So are okay?"

"Yeah. Circuit here managed to fix me up good. Still I should thank you all for helping me."

"It was our pleasure. We would never leave a life to die."

"Wow Princess. Thank you."

Rainbow then spoke up, "So if you don't mind me asking, are you really an alien?"

"Yes... Yes I am. But before I answer a lot of your questions, I must ask for a favor?"

Applejack then approached. "Sure. What is it?"

"Do you by chance have any food?"

"Sure thing partner. Hold up just a bit."

...............................

Soon Xavier was sitting in the living room with the rest with a small tray of apple and pear made foods, digging in as much as he could.

Granny Smith was watching as Xavier was eating at quite a speed. "You sure are a hungry one aren't you fella."

Xavier was about to speak after having another plate. "I know. I apologize for my rush, but to be honest. I haven't eaten in days."

Fluttershy was the first of the group to gasp at the statement. "You've gone that long without food? How terrible."

"Well luckily, I've learned to survive on what little resources I could find."

Twilight was the next to speak, "So are you like a soldier or something?"

"I guess you could say that."

Pinkie Pie then jumped up. "Oh. Are you a scout soldier trying to prepare our world for an invasion?!"

"PINKIE!!!"

"It's okay. She may be a hyper one, but she is smart. But no, I'm not that kind of alien. My kind were known as Malitronians from a world called Malitronia. You see, in the beginning. There were two god like brothers called Stracsus and Malitron. However, while they were brothers, they were also enemies to one another. Malitron was a giver of peace and life while Stracsus brought only death and destruction. They were, for many years, battling each other with the tide turning between the two multiple times. However, after years of fighting Malitron learned that if the fighting had continued, then everything would've been eventually destroyed. So with as much power as he could, Malitron had struck Stracsus with a single final strike. The blow left Stracsus greatly injured and paralyzed. With that, Malitron was alone. So with no way to return to his own world, he decided to create a new one. So he began using his own abilities to combine his mind, heart, and body to increase his power. As years went by, both his power and size grew. If he had been interrupted, well let's just say I probably wouldn't be standing here before you. After many years, his power was ready to be used and with it, he began changing his body. He began to morph into the planet the was later known as Malitronia. After many more years, my species, Malitronians, were given the gift of life and lived peacefully for many years."

They all stood open mouthed at the story with Spike soon breaking the silence. "Wow. Talk about an epic story."

"I do have one question though. If your kind are a peaceful kind, why did you come to our world and on another note, why were you as injured as you were when you got here."

"Well... Princess Twilight."

"Just Twilight is good."

"Twilight... I'd rather not answer those questions. Not yet at least. Let's just say the answers are some I still need to adjust to. Once I'm ready, I'll answer those questions for you."

"Fair enough."

"But for now. If I may, I'd like to stay here and get some rest."

"Sure thing partner. We Apples never turn down those in need."

...........................

In Canterlot, Celestia was looking over many things when a guard ran in.

"Your majesty!"

"Yes? Is something wrong?"

"We have received word that an unknown object has crash landed somewhere not too far from the Castle of Friendship in Ponyville."

"Thank you for the information. I shall send a group out to the area as soon as-."

"Your majesty!"

Celestia then found another guard run in.

"Apologizes for interrupting your business. But I bring shocking news."

"What is it?"

"Some of us have received word that... As impossible as it sounds. Somehow... King Sombra has somehow returned and with a new evil force is attacking the Crystal Empire."
