Second Contact

Date: March 16th

Location: Everfree Forest near UFO Crash Site

Time: 11:24 am

Twilight Sparkle was following the smoke, leading Spike and the three guards to the crash site while going over multiple scenarios and how to handle it in her head. She would have waited for her friends first, but her thirst for knowledge had led her to move on without them and hope they catch up. Her mind flashed back to when the UFO flew over her head. The object looked like it was completely made out of metal with the exception of the bit that was covered in glass. The wings were oddly shaped triangles and looked like they were each holding rods. The rest were covered in flames.

"Oh this is all my fault. That stupid wish to 'make friends with aliens' was a mistake!" Spike said, shivering.

Resting her hand on Spike's shoulder, she smiled down at him. "Spike, I'm sure recent events happening would've happened if you didn't make that wish. Wishing on a star is more or less a silly superstition."

"R-Right..."

When they arrived, they saw the crashed UFO, everypony gasped at what they saw. The UFO's wings were twisted and mostly torn, and the back of it was charred, still giving off sparks. It didn't look like this thing would fly again. The glass piece she saw was on the ground, and she saw what looked like a seat. The alien that flew this must've gotten out! That means.. The guards had spread out around the scene, inspecting the plates of steel that were torn off of the ship. They didn't see Twilight and Spike sneak off.

"Shouldn't we bring the guards with us?" Spike said, worried.

"So they can scare it off or hurt it when they see it? Relax. Maybe we can learn from it."

"Twilight.." Spike said quietly as he stopped.

"If it's friendly, your wish may come true after all. We'd be learning about an entirely different culture."

"Twilight!" Spike hissed, this time, catching her attention as he pointed ahead of her. When she looked, she froze as she saw a being walking to a stream and poking it with an object it was holding. It was shaped like a pony, but shorter. It was bulky like a stallion, but made of metal.

Twilight put a finger up to her lips, facing Spike. "Shhh..."

"I-I don't think that's a good idea!" Spike pleaded.

Unfortunately his pleas were ignored as Twilight had already started approaching the alien. Calming her nerves, she went for it.

"Hi there. My name is Twilight Sparkle and I'm the- eep!"

She had put up her magic bubble shield as fast as she could as tiny objects rapidly coming from his weapon had disintegrated on impact of her shield, leaving cracks in it. She had put more magic into her shield, the cracks visibly disappearing. The alien took cover behind a tree and fired more, trying to break her shield. It stopped for a moment to check its weapon, giving Twilight more time to restore her shield.

"Please stop! I just want to talk!" She said, her shield cracking to another flurry of bullets. It then a fast moving spherical object that exploded on impact, shattering her shield and weakening Twilight. As she collapsed, the being approached her, weapon aimed and ready to kill.

"NOOOOO!!!" Spike screamed, jumping in between her and the being. Spike stood there, arms spread as the being stood there and stared. It didn't have a face, and Spike didn't know what to make of what it was. He wasn't going to let it kill Twilight.

~**Odd... The FoG doesn't sacrifice ones self to save another life. Just what the hell are you two?**~ The being said, lowering his weapon.

Spike opened his eyes. The being was trying to talk to him? Twilight weakly opened her eyes. "S-Spike... get back.. go get help!"

~**I have questions for you two.**~ It said.

Fortunately, the weapon's noise had attracted the attention of the guards as they had arrived and surrounded the alien.

"Princess! We'll handle this." Said Rose Blade. Turning to the alien, she pulled out a crossbow and aimed it at him. "You there. Drop your weapon and surrender. We have questions for you."

~**A fucking crossbow? Are you serious?**~ It looked at the other guards, one having a sword and the other having a spear. ~**We're really gonna do this? Bitches please.**~

Narrowing her eyes, Rose Blade growled. "I won't ask again."

Looking back at Rose Blade, he put his weapon away. ~**I don't think we speak the same language, but you better get that thing out of my face.**~

I put my weapon away, pretty sure I wasn't going to need it. "I don't think we speak the same language, but you better get that thing out of my face." Taking in their appearances, they all resembled horses, but one had a horn, one had wings, and one had neither. The purple one that confronted me had both wings and a horn. Unable to understand what the horned armored one was saying, I continued observing.

That was until the winged one charged at me with a sword. As he swung it, I had grabbed it with my armored hand and crushed it, before slamming a fist into the stomach. Jumping up in the air, I gave him a spinning boot to the face while he was still doubled over, knocking him out. The wingless hornless one jabbed the spear onto my chest, but it didn't penetrate. It didn't even do anything to the shield. Grabbing the spear, I pulled it away from him and collided the part he held against his head, breaking it. He was dazed, but still standing. Can't have that now can I? Grabbing the native by his armor, I flipped him over my head and threw him on the ground face first and landed a final punch on the back below the neck enough to knock him unconscious. The horned one reminded me she was still standing as I heard various clicks from a bolt continuously hitting my armor. One bolt zipping around trying to get through. If anything, it annoyed the hell out of me. I walked up to the mare, reared my fist back and slammed it into her muzzle. The purple lizard flinched at the crunch noise it made as the horned guard fell back, holding her broken muzzle.

Ignoring the cries of agony coming from the grounded unicorn, I made my way back to my ship. I didn't think I wanted to kill any of them anymore. They aren't my enemy, but hoped they got the message that I didn't want to be trifled with.

I approached my fighter. Shaking my head at the poor girl, I had gathered the rest of my supplies, extra grenades for my grenade launcher, ration pills to last a few years in case everything here is inedible for me. It's not the tastiest, but it still provides nutrients and keeps one from starving to death. I took out the flare gun and a spare beacon from under my seat and a few battery packs and set the self destruct timer before climbing down from my craft. Those natives are a few millennia behind us if they're still using crossbows and swords. They'll either hurt themselves or use my equipment for their own selfish gain. I'm not taking part of any of it. Walking away from my fighter, I set off to find some shelter. Maybe a cave or something.

That was until I suddenly found myself surrounded by Purple Horse Lady, even more armored people, and a taller larger white horned winged horse lady with enormous knockers being held by her Roman themed dress. She looked pissed.

"Motherfucker..."

Earlier...

Twilight Sparkle had finally gotten herself together while Spike had gathered the two unconscious guards. Rose Blade's nose was really bloody and looked misplaced, but she was able to perform a healing spell with enough concentration. The strength of that alien must've been powerful to do so much damage, but she could've sworn that it was trying to kill her earlier. Why didn't it? It could've killed me, Spike, and the guards.. Shaking her head, she decided to go back to that later. She needed to get her and the others back to Ponyville. Teleporting everypony back to the forest entrance, she had met up with the others who were discussing a 'worst case scenario' plan.

"And then, if it tries to control our minds, Pinkie, you can sock him from behind. Well, unless it tries to control your mind then I'll do it." said Rainbow. Pinkie nodded in understanding.

"But what if it's just scared?" Fluttershy asked meekly.

"Hey girls." Twilight said.

"Twilight! You're here!" Rarity exclaimed. "We thought you were gonna be captured by that devilish creature!"

Spike opening his big mouth, "Yeah, and she almost ended up as swiss cheese if I hadn't jumped in the way!"

Twilight facepalmed. "Spike..."

Rainbow Dash flared her wings. "What?!? That's it! I'm gonna fly down there and give that thing a piece of my mind while I'm kicking his flank!" Before she could go anywhere, there was an explosion from the crash site that caused Fluttershy to nearly faint.

There was a loud and bright flash coming from behind them. Turning around, they saw it was Princess Celestia and a battalion of royal guards, and she didn't look too happy. The girls bowed down as she walked to her former student. She looked at the injured guards she placed for her protection. Rose Blade's nose was partly healed as the other guards sported bruises. Celestia glared back down at Twilight.

"Princess Celestia, I-"

"We will talk about this later, but for now we haven't much time before it gets too far."

Celestia teleported everyone near the crash site location. By chance, they had teleported, surrounding the alien in question. The guards had already had every spear, crossbow, bow and arrow, and spell circle aimed at it. Looking around, it sighed?

~**Motherfucker...**~

Celestia stood firm with a strong vibe of authority as she spoke. "Surrender now peacefully or we will have to take you by force."

~**Nice tits.**~ It said. ~**But I'm not sticking around.**~ It threw up a small cylinder and ducked. Before the ponies could do anything, there was a 'bang' noise as they were all blinded by a bright light. Nopony could see a thing as they covered and rubbed their eyes to get their vision back. Ponies had fired crossbows and spells at each other unintentionally. There was another alien noise and then a clank.

"Gotcha!... Woah!"

And that was it. They all struggled for a moment, some with eyesight, others with eyesight and injuries inflicted by their fellow guards. By the time Celestia could see again, the alien was gone.

"It was right here! Where did it go?" Twilight asked.

Rainbow Dash approached the group wearing her Wonderbolts uniform, breathing heavily and holding her stomach."H-Hey Twi..."

"Rainbow! What happened?!" Twilight looked at her friend, worried.

"Funny story..." She grinned, sheepishly.

~**Surrender now peacefully or we will have to take you by force.**~ Queen Boobsalot said. I took note that they were trying to talk to me or capture me unharmed. I was still set on not killing the natives. I broke the silence instead as I had came up with an idea.

"Nice tits." I said as I pulled out a flashbang. "But I'm not sticking around." Priming it, I threw it up and ducked, being sure to close my eyes. After it went off, the ponies went nuts, firing crossbows and beams at each other trying to hit me. Since I was surrounded, the only way out was up. I activated my jump jets on my armor and was launched into the air. I was about to launch myself forward, but was tackled from the side.

~**Gotcha!**~

This one had tackled me hard, her momentum launching us far in her headed direction. Trying to free myself, I activated one of my strafe jets, causing a rapid spin before we impacted a tree. A painful wheezing sound was heard. When I looked up, I saw a cyan colored winged native with prismatic hair in a uniform who had broken my impact against a tree with my shoulder in her gut. I had completely winded her. Falling on my feet, I caught her before she hit the ground and gently sat her against the tree of impact. Noticing I was knocked a distance from Queen Titsy and her army, I took off running.

"Great! Why not give it a ride to Griffonstone while you're at it?!" Said an impatient guard who had taken an arrow out of his knee. [I'msorry!]

"I know..." Dash said, ears folding to her sides.

Author's Note

More action, more background music. This one didn't have a lot of action in it, so...

That being said, I was amazed at how many people faved this fiction. The number of dislikes I was getting scared me for a bit, but I'm glad people find my vision to be interesting. More comments are always welcome, and a thumbs up wouldn't hurt as well. It'd be nice to see that I'm doing something right, ya know?

Still, constructive criticism is good too.

With that out of the way, I think you'll all enjoy the next chapter. It'll probably have enough action in it to last for a while.

PS: If you haven't caught on, Rex can't understand what they're saying, and they can't understand what he's saying.
