As Twilight's friends got older, she started looking into the stars. She started to imagine herself on worlds much different that equestria, with newer ending curiosity, she decided to seek help from Celestia to start First equestrian space program.

As twilight's friends got older she started to get bored.
She still liked being with her maybe not as energetic friends, but with each night she started looking more into stars, she couldn't stop herself from looking into constellations or creating new ones from the moment the sun got down to the time it would rise again.
Then it started, first, she built an entire telescope complex so she could study them closer. Then after some time, her hunger for more knowledge increased and she requested even more money to build a high-atmosphere telescope supported by a balloon array.
With that Celestia started to realize that this wouldn't be enough for Twilight, she would request more and more money so she could build more complicated structures to reach closer to her obsession, and with some hesitation, she made a decision and she called twilight for an audience...

Chapter 1- it's not easy to leave the planet

Twilight slowly walked towards the throne room.Even after being princes for soo many years she still was scared. From what she read in the letter Celestia was angry with her new "project" and the amount of money she requested. She could understand that but if Celestia was summoning her for an audience she was really angry.

As twilight got cold sweet from her thoughts spike said "Twilight is everything ok, what even was in that letter that made you so scared" Twilight looked at spike twitching

"Celestia" she gulped "summoned me for an audience" spike looked at her questioningly

"that much I know but why are you scared it's not the first time" as he said it twilight got closer to him her eyes widening

"spike, Celestia called me because of the project what if she got angry or maybe she will take my castle or she will banish me to the moon for insulting her!-"as she started to list all worst-case scenarios spike grabbed her with both of his claws

"twilight calm down, do you really think that Celestia would call you just because she got angry and if she would want to say no she would just write a letter with a simple "no" " Twilight slightly calmed down

"thank you spike" as she said it they stopped. in front of them was a big golden door. Twilight after performing the breading exercise she learned soo many years ago opened the door walking towards Celestia sitting on her throne

"how do you do Twilight, please let us go to better place for talking," she said standing up from her throne "I hope that my sudden invitation hasn't scared you Twilight" Twilight looked at her while a drop of sweat dripped from her forehead

"I'm great Princes and Not at all" "not at all," she said as she looked away. Celestia grinned at her pupil

"good to hear that twilight," she said as she was going through a back door "do you need a special invitation or are you going to go with me," she said

"NO NO NO I'm coming," Twilight said quickly catching up to Celestia, which chuckled at twilight's response.

Right now the three of them were sitting in one of the many Celestia's chambers siping tea which spike made with tea leaves and tea set provided by Celestia. As Twilight finished drinking her tea, Celestia put her down

"tea tastes much better since I dropped sugar for arsenic, I would never believe that it was soo sweet" with twilight almost dropped her 5000-year-old teacup as she started to contemplate

" was asking for more money that insulting"

"ach... don't worry Twilight there are some perks from being an alicorn, but spike would be better if he would clean his hands after sweetening or tea" he was already doing this

"Soo twilight tell me, why, why do you want to build next observatory you already have the best one in Equestria," Celestia said this already knowing twilights answer

"because of the clouds and atmosphere blocking of the light of the dimmer stars" Celestia took another sip of her tea in congratulations for her deduction of twilights needs, which made twilight cringe,

"so my student, simply said, you want to see stars beater" Twilight looked at her not knowing is she serious or not

"Yes That's the point"

"but you know that no matter what you still not going to see all of them" Twilight looked at her not sure in which direction does this talk goes

"I know but-" she was interrupted

"So what do you think about building a station beyond the atmosphere, and more concretely rater that just looking at the stars why not go there" as Celestia said it Twilight jaw dropped

"What are you, suggesting Princes?" Twilight said with unsure voice, Celestia lowed to tease her pupil

"I'm suggesting what you heard, a space program, with full government support but what most important under your 100% control" with those words twilight jaw dropped even lower

"bu-ut are you sure I d-don't know if I can take this responsibility" Celestia grimed

"Twilight my faithful student" she looked deep into her eyes "I'm sure, you have been ponyville's ruler for last 3 elections and de-facto you abolished democracy there" Twilight shifted in her seat

"No! I didn't" Celestia glanced at her with an accusing manner "welllll maybe a little..." as Twilight said this an amused smirk appeared on Celestia's face

"good Twilight, you will have an unlimited amount of funds, but I expect you to make a sub-orbital flight in a year," Celestia said this just to give Twilight an additional motivation and apparently it worked. Twilight stood from her seat and said

"I won't disappoint you Princess" after she said it as she teleported herself to her castle to start working on her new appointment

"Take care of her spike and please, keep her from not sleeping all night" after few seconds she added "you can use the balcony if you want" Spike turned to her as she stopped him from trying to navigate through the labyrinth-like castle.

It's been few mounts since the talk with Celestia, Twilight spent most of her time commanding the best crafts-ponies in building the space centre and in modernising ponyville so it could support the centre. Her second main work involved studying aerodynamics and formulating an "solidified magic theory" so the new rockets could have some more advanced propulsion that hot air or simple telekinetic battery engines used by aeroplanes as both of them wouldn't work in no atmosphere scenario.

At the same time, spike tried to fulfil his part of the job by keeping twilight from going insane like the time she tried to travel through time, but apparently twilight learned her lesson back then, even with so many new responsibilities she would still hang on with her old friends, she would even sometimes take rainbow dash for a daylong balloon rides, at times
when she got her wings broken which started acquiring more often over time, but still twilight's life wost mostly focused on her goal.

Perfectly on the deadline, everything was finished, lunch pad, mission control, well-tested rocket... It was finally the time.
Twilight was ready, she was sitting in her rocket in a space suit of her own design with slight touches from rarity "all systems nominal" she said again not believing what she was about to do

"WE ARE READY PRINCES TWILIGHT... THIRTY SECONDS TO LAUNCH ... " she sighted at the robotic voice of the intercom, she still needed to work on this

"please during this mission doesn't call me princess, I'm the blind one here," she said looking at her artificial horizon and her little magically-reinforced window her only insight into the outside world.

"YES PR- TWILIGHT ... TWENTY SECONDS TO LAUNCH ... Twilight imagined the thousands of ponies looking at the television or even more of them just listening to a radio, everybody waiting for the magical words which would signal that their beloved Princes embarked for a journey to where nopony ever was.

"TEN SECONDS TO LAUNCH"a voice said twilight constantly trembling and shifting in her seat

"STARTING COUNTDOWN... NINE... EIGHT... SEVEN... SIX..." twilight placed one of her trembling forehowes on the lever which controlled trust and another one on the bottom which would start the engines, the robotic voice spoke again

"FIVE... FOUR... THREE" Twilight wasn't like that since the day of her entry exam, her coat drenched from her sweat, her howes trembling, her heart beating like she ate an entire bag of coffee.

"TWO... ONE..." Twilight started to freak out, what if the fuel won't break down into pure magic, or what if she lifts off but the rocked exploded not just would she be a failure but she would be probably dead, but she can't die... right...

"ZERO, LUNCH" Twilight got herself together and pulled the lever as it hit the max trust she quickly pressed the "lunch" bottom. After a longest second in Twilight's life, a great force pushed her to the seat

"LIFT OFF" She did it, all of her thoughts left her head leaving only one... happiness

"TWILIGHT TRUST DOWN TO 1/2 AND CHANGE THE ANGLE" Twilight pushed the lever to said position and looked at the artificial horizon, a yellow dot appeared, she quickly adjusted her angle using the gyroscopes and fins on the side of the rocked.

the flight took few minutes of adjusting angles and jettisoning of stages of the rocket until the voice spoke

"TWILIGHT WE HAVE ORBIT" she quickly turned off the engines as she said

" Congratulations guys you all did a great job" as she said this she could hear cheers and hoofs clapping, twilight smiled she picked up the camera with her magic and she attached the save cable to her back, she opened the hatch, with a swiss all the air got out she removed the belt that kept her attached to her chair, she could feel herself slowly drifting off in 0-G environment

" committing EVA," she said and waited for a few second until mission control spoke

"REAQUEST ACCEPTED... TAKE THE CAMERA IT'S A HISTORICAL MOMENT!" she quickly grabbed one of the handles pushing herself out of the ship, she just watched as she looked through the camera, what she saw was stunning, below her was entire Equestria all she could hear through radio was single "WOW" she didn't have anything more to say, she could only imagine everyponies faces as they saw the same through the TV with that view as an inspiration she said

"we may command the world, we may be its masters but still, we will always be just fleas"

Twilit turned the rocked to decelerate and with few seconds of full thrust, rockets trajectory was perfectly going through the higher atmosphere just enough so the pod would slow down without heating up to fast, with this twilight cut off the last stage leaving just the command module and a heat shield one of the few elements of the ship that had nothing to do with magic, she gave the last glance at the stars and she said to herself

"I will come back to you my dears".

after an hour twilight started feeling the drag created by the atmosphere slowing her down she waited thinking
"there's nothing to fear... there's nothing to fear..." but still no matter how many times she repeated those four words her breathing got faster and she could fell her sweat on tips of her hair until she heard the robotic voice of the radio

"TWILIGHT, OPEN THE PARASHOUTS" as the mission control said she did, the drag increased and after few seconds out of nowhere she could feel herself being pushed with such force that she that she would puke but after few seconds she was good. she was falling like this for some more time until she heard her pod hitting the ground she heard the radio

"TWILIGHT...SHOULD I CALL YOU PRINCES NOW? " Twilight sighed and said

"if you really want to" after she said that she opened the hatch, she was in the middle of the dragon lands

"PRINCES PLEASE CONFIRM YOU POSITION" she looked at the console, she gives them her coordinates and close the hatch. she relaxed and waited for extraction.

Going to space isn't enaught

Celestia was worried about Twilight, ever since twilight got herself into space rather than having this phase behind her she was still pushing even further, with meant that twilight had less and less time to do anything else, she skipped the galloping gala even after celestias personal invitation, but there was one thing that made Celestia know that there was a problem, she would every month check what twilight have read in the royal library or from any other place, she didn't want Twilight to read anything that could end badly for her, like it did for sunset, but last month when she asked the libraryan what was twilight reading the answere made her jaw drop, twilight didn't read anything, it was one of the few times that celestia was shocked in her long life.

The day after Celestia saw her student sleeping on her desk in front of stacks of papers. What she saw stunned her, just on that desk was more technological progress that in last few hundred years, she didn't know was she proud of her student or was she scared what Twilight could do. then she saw that Twilight was cuddling one of the papers, it was rolled up but she could see that it was a complicated schematic, Celestia couldn't wrap her head around what it was depicting but she could see the name

-"Stella Discipulus"?- Celestia said out loud just before picking up with her magic a blanket from the sofa in the corner of the room and placing it on twilight
- I hope you know what you are doing... - she said before leaving the room.

Twilight just woke up her eyes were beery able to open, she tried to stand up from her seat with half-opened eyes she looked again at her desk

that was a night- she said when she saw her papers on collecting magic with machines and on creating a magic “funnel”

yes, it was a good night - her eyes opened fully as she accidentally dropped the paper she was sleeping with, it was rolled up so it started quickly falling, Twilight's eyes widened, she instantly throw herself so she could catch it, as she dropped to the ground the scroll fell into her hoves. After few seconds of laying like this, she picked the paper up with her magic and she headed to her original destination, the kitchen.

she was walking to the nearest kitchen, the castle was much emptier ever since starlight left the castle to live with sunburst in the crystal empire, Twilight could understand that sunburst needed to be there so he could continue teaching flurry heart, and Starlight wasn't going to not be with him just because of that, so she left her.

twilight sighed at the thought, Spike wasn't beater, he would sometimes help her but still, he would most of the time be with rarity ever since a few years ago his relationship with her wasn't just a young drake's fantasy and twilight was sure she saw a blush on rarity whenever they talked about Spike, and after what she found a year ago in his drawer, when she wanted to find something, she knew, they were together.

she finally reached the kitchen as she made a sandwich and headed back to work.

It was 6 in the morning, Twilight finally finished her night long star observation through her new orbital telescope, which used the magical collectors she invented a year ago, but still, she wasn't happy that she couldn't get to it, thanks that an actual working long-term orbital station would be ready to lunch in a few days from there only about a month or two and her project on artificial gravity would be finished, as she thought about that she fell from her seat falling asleep after few nights without it.

Spike just finished making sure that the little half-dragon in his claws would fall asleep, but as he put her delicately into her cot he heard a thump from twilight room, with gratefully didn't wake up the baby,
after wiping the sweat from his forehead made from the fear of making her sleep again he made his way to Twilight so he could put her in her bed.

Twilight was looking through the window, she could see a rocket docking to her space station, as she saw the paint job on it, she was sure that it was a crystal empire's tourist transport spacecraft which docked to refill its fuel after few flights.

It was already five years since the space program started and everything was ready for her final project, just a few days ago she gave the shipyard the schematics for her first interstellar ship, to call it a big ship would be an understatement. Twilight made sure that no matter what would happen she would have a response, which to her slight disappointment included putting heavy weaponry on her shipyard-carrier.

she looked back down at her copy of the schematic, her eyes looked at every placement of her twenty 100m long canons each able to shoot 500mm steal rounds at the speed up to 10% of the speed of light, then she checked each of the ten hangars, each able to hold a "magician" class corvette, she looked over every subsystem until her eyes laid on the FTL drive, she fell that she would explode from anticipation as she realized that this beautiful ship will be hers in a year.

Twilight left her room and turned to one of the tens of hangars on the station, she couldn't wait until the ship was ready but she knew that she would miss her friends so she was going to spend her remaining days in Equestria with them.

She quickly reached the hangar and then she put on her space flight suit

"flight control, Twilight sparkle here I'm going down, requesting a landing space in ponivile" after few seconds one of the ponies that twilight appointed as the space-land flight control responded

"landing site nr6 is ready and has no scheduled landings" Twilight grimed as the engines on the wings of the armour, which were just her wings in armour, turned on, she jumped up as the hover engines took over with a will to move forward she quickly started to accelerate out of the station.

As she flew out of the station information how to breach atmosphere wagly close to the ponivile's space center apered on the botthon of the visor, rather than going starate for the place, she started doing a barrer roll but she stoped mid manuwer facing the station, twilight started flying all around the station for the amuzment of the few filies and their parents, what they didn't know was that next to Twilight's personal enjoyment this flyith had another reason, Twilight wanted to be sure that this suit would do well n combat as she was going to put about 100 of them on the carrier in the role of fighters.

After few minutes of this Twilight was satisfied with the resorts she made a quick turn as she started to deorbit, with a few cues from the helmet she quickly started to fall into the atmosphere.

Within few seconds she started felling temperature rise from the friction, she quickly adjusted armour's shields so she would not burn down while falling.

It took few minutes before her speed dropped enough so she could take over the fifth, with a thought armour on her wings contracted to leave her wing alone in keeping her in the air. Twilight made a quick turn towards ponivile and within few minutes she got to her target, with a simple answer she started slowly descending towards launchpad nr6

As she landed she quickly stripped her armour after a successful flight from there she made her way towards her room to make sure that she will make the most out of this year.

Everything was ready Twilight light made sure that everything was ready, she didn't remember when was the last time all seven of the met, she could, of course, understand that, everybody had them hobbies and lives and since there were more of their followers friendship problems they really didn't have time or reason to meet all at the same time and she wasn't beater with "Friendship stuff"

But today that would change Twilight made sure that everything was ready for their reunion.

And just as she looked at the clock to know how much time she still had, she heard knocking, Twilight run towards the door and as she opened it there was a bang.

Twilight jumped back as her light-hearted friend, Pinkie, introduced herself in her most favourite way

“Hello, Twilight I hope I didn't scare you!" she said with her normal joyful voice

"No, you didn't," Twilight said picking herself up from the floor "but could you NOT do something like this next time," She said when she stud fully up

"Okie-Dokie-lokie Twilight" she looked at her examining "wow Twilight sure you grow, have you been bathing in the sun too often?" she asked making as Twilight looked at her with a weird look

"No, I di-" she stopped as she realized that rather being about the same size as pink she was somewhere around a head taller "Oh......" she said as she realized how she didn't notice her body changing.

In just a few minutes after that everybody, and more were present.

They were sitting next to one of the many tables of the castle, next to Twilight sat Rarity with her daughter, Sparkling Dimond, on he lap, next to her sat, of course, Spike, father of the filly, as Twilight watched her not so young drake play with his child she delicately smiled as she looked to the other quests.

Next sat Rainbow Dash, AppleJack, and Pinkie Pie. They differ from Fluttershy and Rarity, as they didn't have any foals. Still saying that about Pinkie wasn’t really true as she would play with the kids from the orphanage and if Twilight wasn’t mistaken many of them make a mistake of calling Pinkie “mum”

The last one was Fluttershy, which sat next to Pinkie, she also had fillies on her own but they weren't here as they could get to all sorts of trouble so Fluttershy decided to leave theirs, little troublemakers to Discord.

When she finished looking around she finally realized that the group was dead silent, as the only sounds were the sounds of a half-dragon baby playing with her father.

With a little bit of sweat twilight said" so how were you doing in the last few years" and thanks to those words everybody started talking.

They talked like this for hours telling hundreds of different stories from the time they were mostly apart, to Twilight surprise everybody was actually interested in the specifications of her work.

“Wow, Twilight I knew you were doing a lot of nerdy stuff but I never expected it to be so awesome!..’ Rainbow said after listening to a story about the space flight armour Twilight was developing “...And you have to let me have a ride” Twilight smiled at her friends, which apparently liked the part.

As the talk continued Twilight could fell all of her worries leave her, But then an idea struck her “Hey girls I know you probably don’t have time today but if you would like it I could arrange us a Tripp to the space station, I would love to show you everything!” after a few seconds of awkward silence the attendants asked few questions about safety and when it could happen subsequent Twilight filled in all the details and everybody agreed on a date.

Flight toward the station was pretty uneventful, not counting a minor incident with turbulences and Apple Jack.

Right now twilight was showing them the hangars, which for her were one of the least interesting rooms, but apparently, everybody was intrigued about the tens of trading ships which would come and go transporting stock for the station or just simply refuelling.

Next were all the recreational buildings which included a spa, casino, few bars, and of course a hotel.

Then they reached the place Twilight wanted to show them The shipyards. They were the biggest price of the station easily taking half of it, such powerful docks were able to pump out tens of rockets daily or to build true behemoths, which included Twilight's ship. When they finally entered the one which was making the Stella Discipulus everybody stopped saying anything, the size in itself was staggering and as the main ornament, a gigantic plasma thrower was being put together. After few seconds Twilight said

"...And this, as you see, is a project of my life, the greatest ship those shipyards will ever see one and only " Harmony" class" everybody was looking back and forth between Twilight and the ship.

"Sugarcube could ya tell me why would you need something like this?" AppleJack asked while not being sure what to think of it

"As this ship will be ready I will assemble the best crew in question to go on the greatest expedition in the history of any race of equestrian!"

Soo, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, next chapter will include twilight going to other dimensions.

To Boldly Go Where No Pony Has Gone Before part 1.

Twilight was surprised with her friend's reactions, they tried to stop her at first but they quickly stopped trying to change her mind, but rather than settling with this they decided to actually help her.

First to help her, of course, was Rainbow, even after the bomb Twilight dropped she was still eager to test Twilight's power armor. After few tests and crashes, Rainbow Dash was able to do some amazing tricks at speeds which easily surpassed even wildest estimates Twilight made. If this wasn’t enough, Rainbow even helped her with recruiting pilots by giving her an idea:

“so Princess Egghead where are you going to find ponies to flight those, those are cool and all but all the good flyers were taken by Wonderbolts,” Rainbow Dash said while floating next to Twilight, her suit’s helmet open.

“There some truth in that...” Twilight said while thinking “Wait for a second what did you said!” she turned to her friend

“all the good flyers were taken by the Wonderbolts?” Rainbow said not sure what twilight meant.

“No, what you said earlier!” twilight almost shouted walking back and forth across the room

“Princess egg-” Rainbow stopped as she was grabbed by the princess

“Rainbow, You are a genius. I’m a PRINCES!” Twilight shouted “I can do, almost, everything I what,”

Then she started writing a simple letter to the equestrian ministry of Army with a simple message with could be summarized as Create a new branch of the army. This marked the day of creation of the Equestrian Space Navy.

Next was Rarity, who came up with few designs ideas for the uniforms. Which included:

skin tight Latex, which got a simple “no” from Twilight.

Differently colored cotton uniforms with red being for the fighters, again twilight rejected the idea but this time with some explanation ”Rarity we are not filming a space opera and nobody is going to take us seriously with those on”

Next were clothes from ancient Pegasys imperium, which get the next no with “and we are not pulling of Crystal Spires and Togas"

But finally with a sight Rarity said

“you are no fun darling but ok I have got something timider” with this she showed her, militaristic looking uniforms, with holes for cutie marks and shoulder plates with various symbols of different functions. Twilight was about to say no when she stopped

“wait... Those actually look good”

after this, they debated about the color palette which would be painted on the spaceships, which took them few hours, but they finally decided on six differently colored stripes on normally white ships.

After some time they all meet again. It was just a month before the first FTL capable ship would be built and everybody was silent about what will happen then.

“Girls-” Twilight tried to say

“No darling, we understand... a bit” Rarity said as everybody but Twilight nodded agreeing with her

“Well, could we just spend the most of what we got?” Twilight looked at everybody, drops of sweet on her forehead, after few seconds everybody smiled

“Of course sugarcube, what were you thinking, we would never stop you from archiving your dreams... even if we think they are wierd ” after Applejack this the conversation started.

During this month they would spend most of their time together, doing all kinds of activities which included even solving an friendship problem, like in the old times.

Everything was ready.

Workers of the docks were at their homes drinking with friends or were about to open their champagnes for the work welldone toast, every white-collar who worked at the station was there to look at the greatest piece of equestrian engineering and the station was soo full of tourists that few ships were denied access because the air decarbonizers couldn’t support soo many ponies.

You could say it was a celebration there.

Twilight was standing in front of everybody, just a meter behind her was the magic-enhanced metal beast, her beast.

She was standing proudly in front of her crew about 2000 ponies willing to work and participate in her dream, some were curious, some wanted the money and fame and others where just simply bored of the ’normality” of Equestria.

Next to them stood countless civilians: Ponies, Griphones, Hippogryphs, Dragons and other countless races of the planet below.

Twilight sighed, she looked at the ten ponies, and a dragon, who stood next to her, she smiled as her previous teacher looked at her seeing bouth the little filly that treated her like a mother and at a Princess and a great inventor, as a tear ran down her cheek she handed Twilight a bottle of champagne, one from a 1000 years ago made just after fall of discord, as Twilight piked it up with her magic she looked again at her friend and familli, she could fell wet stems run on her cheaks as she used the cantelot voice for the first time.

“Today marks a great day, but not just for Equestria and everybody on it. No! Today marks a most important point of history not just for us but for everypony in our universe! let's remember this day as a day Equestrians reached outside their small cradle to the universe outside, Today I present to you the ship that will let us do this, I present to you The Stella Discipulus!” as she finished her statement she hit the ship with the bottle, it exploded as it was thrown with powerful magic.

Within seconds the crowd started screaming in enthusiasm.

The doors to the ship opened as every single crew member marched inside.

Twilight turned to her friends as they threw themselves at her starting a group hug, as even Celestia and Luna joined Twilight wiped few tears from her face.

“Thank you...” it was all she could say as she walked to the same door as every one of her crew walked through.

she started to walk backward screaming with even more tears dropping from her face. She wasn’t sure why she was sad, she is going to see them in like a month, but still, there was something that made her sad, as these thoughts came to her the doors she walked thought closed shut.

Twilight was sitting in the middle of the room, the control center, as her hooves rested on the arms of the chair, she looked around the room, everything was as she imagined, her eyes turned towards the windows in front of her, space...

“Move out of the hangar, just don’t scratch the paint job,” as Twilight commended the pony that stood next to the navigation console quickly started pressing different buttons and pulling leavers, as the ship sluggishly started to move

“activate mana detectors” with a new command on hand the control room sprung to life. Everypony was doing something, power control was trying to balance the energy usage, engineering officer was commanding his subordinates so they may keep everything working, the science officer was actively collecting data.

Twilight watched as everything was working clockwork, well not counting that there were apparently four different songs all around the ship, including one about how the turrets can’t wait to shot at something, but that beside the point.

As the ship flew out of the dock sensors control said

“we are detecting a heavy magical leak” When Twilight heard that she instantly shouted

“You all know where are we going boys!” with this navigation immediately turned off the main thrusters as the ship slowly started to turn towards the new target. When the ship was facing its target Twilight shouted

“full thrust!” with a quick pull of a leaver Stella Discipulus started to charge towards the leak approaching the escape velocity1within a few seconds. When the trajectory of the ship collided with the target the navigation officer quickly turned off the engines.

After few minutes ship started to decelerate, when they reached the leak Twilight gave a single node to the jump control with a few button presses the spectacle started.

As the hatch on the tip of the ship four arms extended towards the magical mist in front of them, their tips touching as they reached the cloud.

Then they lit up, with great feats of magic the reality itself was torn apart as the arms spread slowly opening the rift to the realm of magic.

Just from being next to this magical rift Twilight could feel all the magic trapped inside, just begging to be used to create, destroy and change while at the same time waiting for somebody just able to survive those amounts of magic.

“activate magic inhibitors” as Twilight commanded, the crew on the deck adjusted everything preparing for the first usage of the FTL engine.

The ship slowly started to approach the liquid-like surface of the rift. As Twilight pressed a button on her hoofchair a helmet lovered from the ceiling of the deck, as it settled on her head she could fell all the magic that flowed inside the ship. She closed her eyes she waited for the surge that awaited her.

When she thought she was ready a lightning struck her, or it just felt like this, as the impossible amounts of magic tried to get absorbed by the ponies in the ship just to be transferred into a single alicorn.

As Twilight felt this unbearable pain she quickly looked at the rift, not even pain could distract her from the sight Before her.

She could see every star in the universe, she could also see the little specs of light, every other universe. But still, next surge of agonizing pain was enough to snap her out, she looked again at the mass of stars as she saw her target, the closest O class Hypergiant, the only star with enough mass and energy output to have an opportunity for an inter-dimensional rift.

She looked at her target and imagined herself traveling there, her horn glowed with a powerful light nearly blinding everybody in the room as she used the teleportation spell.

As the magic trapped inside of her finally released she felt the pain only comparable with somepony trying to tear out her horn, as the spell finished her head fell limb while she passed out.

Twilight slowly opened her eyes, she felt like she was on a hangover after the drinking contest that she had with luna a few years ago and she remembered that she drunk soo much that she was drunk for two days after the incident.

Thankfully the pain disappeared after a few seconds, with her nearly returned strength she opened her eyes and what she saw was something to behold, in front of the ship was the star, Twilight knew it’s size before but even in her wildest imaginations, it wasn’t that big.

She looked around the deck she saw that even when everypony was amazed equally as she was they kept working as she trained them to be, still few of them gave a sigh of relief as they saw that their princess woke up.

“Status report,” Twilight said as she looked at a young unicorn mare that she appointed as the science officer and her first officer.

“Hull integrity- 100%, armor integrity- 100%, shields are off but we have minimal damage around 2%, repair teams were already dispatched, Mana batteries at 10%, Mana collectors at full power with full support from electricity based siphons,” the mare read from the datapad that she held in her magic.

“Good job Solar inkwell, now could you give the datapad to me,” as Twilight said those words the light gray unicorn gave to her the requested item.

Twilight knew that she needed to trust her crew for this operation to succeed but she still needed to check everything that Inkwell said and apparently, everything was good, Twilight gave the datapad back.

“Sensors full power I want to know where is the closest leak” Twilight said as she adjusted her position.

After few minutes of scanning the area, a leak has been detected.

"Activate communication systems, I want to give a report to Celestia" Twilight said this as she studied the data collected by the aperture all around the ship. After about a minute a stable link was made with the communication center in equestrian.

"One... Two... Three... Do you hear us?" a voice spoke through the intercom

"Here's Princess Twilight, Equestria do you hear us?"

"Yes, Princes what do you require" Twilight started reciting a report to the pony, after few minutes the connection was terminated.

“Inkwell could you take over until the next jump?” Twilight asked yawning. The called unicorn instantly gave twilight a salute saying

“Yes, Princes! Can I do anything else for you!” Twilight smiled she thought of the time she was sent to ponyville and how she would stress out over every week to give her teacher a friendship report

“Just take care and call me when the batteries fill up” as she said this she jumped down from her seat and walked slowly towards her room while entering the code to block necessary equipment for jumping.

Twilight opened the door to her cabin, after walking in she threw herself on the bed. Twilight closed her eyes waiting for the relief of sleep.

Void she watched
It licked its lips
The Light she watched
It Smiled
The Darkness she watched
It bowed
Stars she saw
They stared back
Chaos she watched
It slapped her

“TWILIGHT” Chaos screamed at her.

“w... what?... DISCORD WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Twilight screamed at the ruffian, who was holding her while slapping her
beautiful and delicate muzzle.

“I ask YOU what you were doing there, of all places you SHOULD NOT go THERE,” Chaos said as he lowered Twilight to the ground.

“Discord could you explain what happened?” Twilight flew out of his hands.

“Even if I told you it would be impossible for you to understand,” He said as He was about to snap his talons and go away as He usually does.

“No Don’t you da-”w At this moment with a quick snap He broke all carefully crafted laws of the universe”-re” Twilight finished as she watched her, now, empty room.

Twilight looked at the clock, just before she could read the number a weak voice called her

“Princess Twilight jump opportunity in t minus 10 minutes,” Twilight sighed, She had more important things to do rather that Chaoses antics, which I approve.

Twilight sat in her hoofchair summoning her helmet again ”ok Twilight, breath in, breath out, This time slower but steadier magic, you have to learn to control it. She watched as the arms of the ship close to the leak, Twilight gulped as she felt the gigantic amounts of magic slip through the fabric of space.

As the arms of the ship finished their job the liquid like the surface of the rift waited for her.

“You know what to do,” Twilight said as the magic inhibitors where activated and turned up to the double of their normal power.

Stella Discipulus closed to the rift, Twilight focused knowing what to expect from the student power surge. When it finally hits her she quickly blocks the feral magic from escaping.

The magic inside of her started to build up, it almost instantly reached the levels of power she had inside while holding the power of the three other princesses. She could feel the magic slowly make her body heat up as it tried to escape.

“Entering the rift” as one of the crew members said this Twilight realized how much magic o pony can hold. Her body heat up to dangerous levels as the nearest crew member made a step back while protecting his eyes with a hoof.

Twilight needed to act quickly she scanned the beautiful image in front of her, and she saw it, fro this distance it looked like a small cluster of stars at the edge of the universe but Twilight knew it was in a totally different one.

Twilight focused all of her wills on the small light in front of her, she released all of her magic in one powerful teleportation-like spell. When Twilight finished her cast, she felt all of the magic that cramped inside of her leave her, at first it was a weak tingling sensation on the tip of her horn but it quickly grew into a pain and the agony as all of her magic tried to escape at all cost.

Twilight saw as the space between dimensions flew past them at an impossible speed, before Twilight could fully analyze the space around the ship she felt the last burst of magic escape her with a pain comparable with something piercing her skull.

But then she felt it all stop, all magic in her body escaped just to come back in more natural rate. As Twilight felt the blissful feeling of her natural magic return the ship entered the new universe.

Twilight quickly regained composure as she ordered.

“Full power to scanners there could be anything here” As Twilight said this the communication officer responded

“We probably won’t need those...” as he said this he liked the image from the camera on the side of the ship to the widows of the deck which doubled as screens.

“...Wow...” Twilight said stunned as she saw the perfect cube which was about three kilometers in length.

“Princes we are detecting some sort of electromagnetic radiation in a sub-dimension, from what I understand they are trying to communicate” Twilight smiled like a little filly.

“Frist encounter just after the second jump! and then aliens who don’t what us dead the second they see us!” Twilight smile grew wider adding to the confusion of the other crew members.

“Try to intercept those signal and use a universal translating spell on them” with the new job the communication officer started decrypting the message.

At the same time, several spherical objects emerged from the cube, with them emerged a few slicker and much smaller weasels.

“Princes we have contact, opening channel” as the officer finished speaking a smaller screen emerged from Twilight’s seat, on the display was a simple line symbolizing the frequency with a small text reading “unown intelligent species alpha”.

After few seconds a robotic voice said.

“We are the borg” the text quickly updated “lower your shields and surrender your ships we will add your technological and biological distinctiveness to our own, your culture will adapt to service us, Resistance is futile” with those words all the smiles in the room turned upside down.

Author's Note

Sorry for the “To be continued” but I found this chapter to be extremely long so I decided to slice it up into two.

Still, I hope you enjoyed the first “Crossover” chapter and if you did please rate the chapter accordingly, and if you disliked anything please comment of that so I would have an occasion to correct myself.

And for anybody interested, the next chapter will appear in about a week or two.

To Boldly Go Where No Pony Has Gone Before Part 2

Previusly

“Princes we have contact, opening channel” as the officer finished speaking a smaller screen emerged from Twilight’s seat, on the display was a simple line symbolizing the frequency with a small text reading “unown intelligent species alpha”.

After few seconds a robotic voice said.

“We are the borg” the text quickly updated “lower your shields and surrender your ships, we will add your technological and biological distinctiveness to our own, your culture will adapt to service us, Resistance is futile” with those words all the smiles in the room turned upside down.

“Full power to shields and ...gulp... weaponry” Twilight wasn’t sure what to think of it, she was really confused and unsure what to do, she prepared for a hostile encounter, but inside she hoped that she wouldn’t need to fire a single weapon. Still, after few seconds a mental checklist appeared in her mind, with two points already checked off.

-shields ☑
-weapons ☑

Twilight was thinking fast, from what she understood she found some sort of species with a fixation on increasing diversity and assimilation of other species. Based on enemy ship design the cube has most of the weaponry vile the smaller ships focus boarding and assimilating the enemy.

“lift off all Storm Makers and Magicians, all turrets and weapons ready to fire... And make us face them head on!” Twilight said as her confidence rose, she was ready, and she was going to kick some assimilating asses.

“Princess! the Borg are powering up their weapons, they are about to fire some sort of beam weapon,” one of the officers said as one of the monitors changed into an overhead view of the battle.

“Brace yourself and prepare for impact!” Twilight said as the cube fired, solar inkwell and other officers grabbed whatever they could. Then the beam finally impacted, the ship it shook.

"The Borg are using some sort of graviton beam to pull us to them!" one of the officers quickly stood up after the impact.

"All the power we have left to maneuvering thrusters! Try to stay out of the beam and don't let them pull us to close, we don't know if we can take on a raiding party," as Twilight said this she looked at her communication console, rather than one line there were ten of them, every named after a famous wizard

"Magician Starswir reporting, all Magicians are in space, awaiting orders," said one of the magicians captains

“All weapons ready to fire!” weapons officer said next.

after a second of thinking, Twilight said, “All magicians and fighters attack the spheres be careful and report anything suspicious” after saying this she looked at the weapons officer “All mana canons fire at the will at the spheres and the smaller craft with magic lances, while the mater accelerators and the plasma thrower fire at the point from the beam originates!” after she said this the ship shock, ship’s thrusters fought the beam.

The unicorns in mana canons used their weapons and magic supplied by the ship to cast spells of a power bigger than they would ever imagine casting.

At the tips of the canons appeared small balls of magic, growing bigger over a second, after which they fired powerful beams which shot at one of the spheres leaving it with hundreds of meter wide holes, with was enough to take the ship down as it exploded few seconds after the volley.

At the same time, the magical rings started to appear at regular intervals on the one hundred meter bearers of the mass accelerators, after few seconds of charging the canons fired theirs’s projectiles at the cube, in a practical instant they reached their destination piercing the enemy ship and disabling enemy's beam.

After few seconds of charging the plasma thrower followed firing a glowing ball of ionized gas, which hit the same spot as the accelerators, leaving five hundred meters wide and six hundred meters deep crater of white-hot molten metal.

Change of Perspective

I looked at the crater left after the main weapons fired, I was stunned by the sight.

“Thunderbolt, attack that probe!” the voice of my commander snapped me out of it, just in time for me to dodge a beam fired by one of the probes while doing so I saw remains of more unfortunate fellow as one of his lose guts flouted just in front of my helmet

I quickly turned toward the pinpointed probe, I charged at it using my wing thruster.

While dodging its weapons I charged my own weaponry. When I reached the probe I activated the magnets on my hoves with attached me to the probes armor,

At the same time, my weapon charged enough to fire, I lifted my fore hoves from the probe a spark jumped between them, I hit the ship discharging the weapon and frying all the enemies inside and the electronics of the ship.

I jumped off the ship as I watched it explode. I charged to the next probe giving it the same fate.

As I fried another beam fired at me, I dodged it, I smiled as I was about to charge to the ship that fired I suddenly felt something going thought me leaving a lack of feeling from the area of my stomach.

I looked at the place where something hit me, I saw few drops of red liquid coming from that place, as I tried to breathe I felt pain in the same spot, I looked again at the wound.

I saw burned steaming flesh around the hole in my stomach, finally, my blood drained brain understood what was happening.

“unit 163, Thunderbolt down sir!” I spoke just before everything went to darkness.

Twilight looked at the Borg cube after another volley her mass accelerators were able to do same as the last one but the plasma thrower did almost nothing.

“Princes... we got a problem,” said the weapons officer while few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.

“What is going on?” Twilight said looking at the officer with a raised eyebrow

“Magical lancers became ineffective madam, I already ordered the turrets to fire a different spell each time,” after he said this twilight sat deeper into her chair while using her forehoove to rest her head on, Thinking

“sensors, any damage to the cube?” Twilight said having problems with thinking of a solution to the problem.

“No Princes, all the damage we have done has been already repaired... Wait we are detecting some sort of heavy gravitational weaves!” after a few seconds, she said this an object stoped just next to the cube.

“Another one of them!?” said the weapons officer while looking at the newly emerged ship.

“No I don’t believe soo.... try connecting us to that ship with the same method that Borg communicated with us, ”Twilight said this while looking at the ship. It was a disk attached to a curved shaft with two side engines, yes it was a totally different design than the Borg ships had.

After few seconds an image flickered onto the monitor. Twilight saw a haires ape wearing some sort red suit. They stared at each other for a few seconds both of them kinda shocked because of the totally different look of the two species.

first to snap out of it was the red wearing ape which spoke “In the name of the United Federation Of Planets, I captain Picard Of the Enterprise, say, It’s good to meet you,” As he said this Twilight eased up.

”Ok they are not with them, maybe they will even help?” just as this thought came to her mind she herded something from the other bridge, after a moment she heard Picard give different order apparently getting ready to fight.

“Can I know why are you not escaping from the borg?!” as he said this Twilight saw the other ship shake as another Borg tractor beam cached the Enterprise.

“We can’t, our ship is unable to use it’s FTL drive until about a 24 hours if we are lucky” Twilight stopped for a second “If you accept we could get you entire ship out of there if you would share knowledge about our apparent common enemy,” Twilight said this waiting for a response, she didn't need to wait long as an energy beam struck the enterprise the captain of the other ship responded.

“we would be happy,” Picard said this as fire lit up in the corner of the room he was sitting in.

“Get ready, it will be rough,” Twilight put on her helmet, drawing from the magic inside the ship she teleported the other ship into the dock.

After recovering from the stain of using so much magic she teleported to the production area, she picked up few wearable universal translators.

With few of them in her magic Twilight teleported to the docks.

Twilight saw just how much damage the Borg cube did to the smaller ship, its entire surface was covered in small craters or was covered in black stains.

She saw few of the same hairless apes leaving the ship through a hatch in the curved shaft, apparently, the captain of the other ship was an exception as others had hair on their heads when he didn’t, after noting it in her memory Twilight moved towards the crew of the other ship, even with the language barrier she saw her ponies trying to help the bipedal creatures on the other hoof the bipeds looked really surprised at the sight of the four-legged ponies, or maybe they were suprised at the sight of their ship telepoting, or it was just the sight of unicorn magic and pegasus flying that suprised them.

As intellectually filing the observation of the aliens was Twilight needed to give each one of the creatures translators after each one of them put their headpieces on few conversations struck between the Ponies and the humans.

Twilight waited about a minute, she didn't have much to do as the fight with the Borg was at an impasse, both ships weren’t able to do damage to each other as most of Stella Discipulus’ weapons were unable to even scratch the Borg ship while at the same time The Borg weapons were not made to combat magical shields or were constantly being destroyed by the kinetic canons.

Then the first human she met finally exited the ship. Twilight cleared her throat and approached the figure when he finally noticed her she was only two meters away from him. She gave him the earphone and said.

“Welcome on my ship captain Picard-” she bowed as she found it fit to treat her quest as a diplomat “-I hope that we can help each other to defeat our common enemy” when she finished she moved her head back up

“I also hope that communication between our two species will result in a way to fight borg” as he said this Twilight realized something.

“oh no...” her ears dropped flat to her head, she looked at him hoping that he will say no to her next question “you have a way to fight them? Right?” she asked weakly

“Unfortunately no, I hoped that a species advanced enough to build such gigantic ships could find a way to fight them,” Picard said this hoping that the alien is not going to throw him out of her ship for tricing her.

“do they have any weaknesses or anything that we can exploit!” Twilight started to slowly lose hope, they could survive for long at their current power production but after about 20hours 34minutes and 4seconds the ship will power down without the ability to defend itself, which would be a perfect opportunity for the borg to assimilate her crew and from there they will have the ability to not just conquer this galaxy nor just this universe, every place, no matter were will fall under the borg control and will be assimilated.

Twilight started to hyperventilate causing fear in captain Picard as he still thought that she was about to throw his crew out to feed the borg.

It took few minutes and few breathing exercises for Twilight to calm down, after she calmed down she made one more, just in case. She reached with her magic to the wall at the end of the room, with it she picked up a datapad and flouted it towards herself to note any and all information she could get about the borg hoping to find a hole in their defense.

Another figure passed next to her, before even seaning it closer Twilight gave the figure the translator

“That’s most peculiar” Twilight heard a smooth robotic voice, she quickly turned around to see a pale figure standing just next to her.

“Twilight, this is my Chief Operations Officer Data,” Picard turned towards Data “Data this is our host, Princess Twilight” as Picard said this Data started scanning Twilight with a handheld device.

“Are you aware of the extreme radiation levels on this ship?” Twilight looked at Data, not sure what he meant, it took her few seconds to realize what he was talking about.

“Yes, I’m aware, as this radiation, we call it magic, is what lets this ship, and my species, function, and don’t worry, I’m sure that it’s not going to harm you. Now may we head to a conference room ” after Twilight said this she got few confused looks

“Magic? with all the respects, but you don’t need to play this game madam, I believe that our species is advanced enough to know the truth about your species” Picard said slightly resentful towards Twilight’s statement.

“Oh, you are thinking that we tried to trick you with technology that looks like magic, I’m sorry if it looked like this, but our ship works on magic and just call me Twilight” Twilight said this with a calm voice “They probably never saw magic,” she thought

“You need to believe you Twilight” after he said this he informed her about the other crew members he would like to have at an official meeting.

It took another five minutes for everybody needed to come out of the ship and then it took next ten minutes to reach the conference room as some of the Enterprise’s officers were still distrustful of Twilight.

when they finally arrived in the conference room, they sat down in obviously too small chairs. Just as Twilight was about to start talking Solar Inkwell burst into the room visibly tired.

“Princes... All enemy craft destroyed, the only thing left is the cube” she said bearly breathing “Here’s the report on casualties, and you may want to see the 4 camera recording between 16.23-17.30 from the start of the battle” As she said this she gave Twilight the datapad, and just as fast as she came here she left.

“Ok, thank you Inkwell, now That we are all present, may I get to know my quests,” after Twilight said this Picard stud up and said

“You already know me and my Chief Operations Officer Data” as Picard said this the pale brown-haired figure stood up and after a second sat down again.

“Commander William Riker, my first officer” a more normally colored figure rose, Twilight wasn’t sure what to think of his hair on his chin and below his nose but after a second also he sat down again

“Geordi La Forge my Chief engineer” with touse words another human rose, his skin was of darker pigmentation but the most interesting thing Twilight saw was some sort of device placed where his eyes should be, as the rest he sat down again after a second.

“and finally Worf my Strategic Operations Officer” the final figure rose in the room, Twilight instantly noticed weird spine on his forehead. When he finally sat down so did Picard.

“Now That we know each other I propose that we start talking about the issue at hoof” with her magic she activated the monitor in the room, in it, was the Borg cube it was constantly being bombarded by the accelerator canons.

“Based on our understanding they are unable to block our physical projectiles, while all our other weapons are unable to even scratch them,” while saying this she shown the recording of the second plasma thrower shoot.

“Do you know how are they doing this or how to bypass their defenses?” Twilight asked while looking at everybody in the room.

“Based on our understanding-” Forge rose from his seat “-they use some sort of subspace electromagnetic field that can adapt to practically anything, the fact that your ship has one weapon that they can't defend against is remarkable by itself,” he sat down again.

“In short, you don’t have any reliable ways of dealing with them,” after Twilight said this everybody in the room noded

“the only time we defeated them was when Captain was assimilated by them, we used the subspace connection that links all the borg to reprogram them and make them fall asleep” Data remarked

“then maybe we will find something in the report...” Twilight picked up her datapad and connected it to the screen

“We were able to destroy teen spherical borg ships and about six hundred smaller craft-” everybody's eyes but Twilights widened “our casualties are fifty flyers and the one... M-magician... h-hex,” Twilight expression drastically changed, no more stoic expression, just tears, Twilight sat down her eyes wide, streams of tears dropping from them.

Flashback!

Back when Twilight still didn’t have stars on her mind she hosted a small private school for unicorns, it came to be when she saw a homeless filly performing magic tricks on the street while visiting Cadence, she had taken that unicorn as her protege.

Solar Inkwell remembered those moments as one of the happiest in her life.

But rather than stop with one student, Twilight would travel across Equestria looking for the best unicorns to take them under her wing.

Over time these files would start treating Twilight like a mother and she treated them as her children she never had.

Of course, they were sad when their mother told them about her plans, but the newly graduated unicorns had a different plan.

They used they great magical talents and everything they learned to win every competition that was put in place to find the best pilots for the magicians.

When Twilight got notified about what they have done it was too late, every single one of her eleven students was going with her, at first she was scared, she was sure that every single one of them was going to die in a horrible way.

But then she started assuring herself that none of them could get hurt, lies.

Twilight eyes turned into waterworks at the thought of the happy times with Hex, but then her eyes narrowed, her pupils shrank, she hit the wall next to her with all of her anger.

After few seconds she looked at her guests she has forgotten about, they faces were a mixture of being surprised and terrified, everybody’s but data, he just looked at her with a blank look.

Then she realized why they looked like that at her, she saw a hole in a size of her hoof.

She breathed in and out, it was not the time for mourning or being angry, she thought.

She picked her Datapad up and activated the Black box of the destroyed magician and synchronized it with the recording of the fight, after doing so she started the recording at the suggested time.

On the screen, she saw hundreds of ponies flying around fighting the much bigger probes, but what stuck for her was a single corvette maned by Hex.

The Corvette danced on the battlefield as it dodged tens of beams of energy and the tractor beam of its main opponent, a Borg sphere.

But after few seconds the tractor beam was able to grab the craft.

“they got us!” one of the officers on board said.

“Wait.. we are detecting hight amounts of magic pouring out of the enemy ship” the sensors officer added

“What! that's against the rules! helmsman turn us towards the beam generator,” Hex’s voice could be heard in the recording, as the ship started to turn

“Our shields are being drained!” after the announcement from one of the officers profanity could be heard in the recording

“Fuck, they figured us out, fast, get us ready to fire!” after few seconds the Magician faced the Sphere head on.

After few seconds of charging the main canon of the ship fired lunching it few meters backward, the projectile got a direct hit destroying the tractor beam generator

“shields down!” one of the officers said

“We have a problem... I’m detecting a high magical build up, they are going to explode!” another announced

“get us out of here fast!” Hex said, his voice desperate

“The explosion is going to be too big... I will try to get us out of here but it’s time to get your last wishes to the black box” Helmsman said this as he started praying

Few panicked voices could be heard, Twilight filtered the recording, a single quite calm voice.

“Hello Twilight, don’t blame yourself for this ok and don’t send others away, even if they knew they would die, they would still go with you, we all love you Twilight and after what you have done for us we all would go to hell for you,” he stopped for a second, he breathed in and out “Goodb-” the recording cut

“Recording terminated, reasons: the death of the captain and the crew, destruction of 90% of the ship,” a robotic voice finished as Twilight’s blood started to boil again.

“Tell me a way to kill them, I don’t care how impossible it would be, you need to know something” Twilight said it through her teeth

“Can your Universal translator translate a written language or a computer code? If yes, then we could activate their self-destruction sequence,” Data asked calmly, Twilight noded

“This meeting is then finished, take anyone you want, we are boarding the Borg,”

Twilight was waiting in the teleportation room. On her was a standard Warlock armor, to her right another unicorn, on his body a mini mater accelerator, a basic part of an Sorcerer armor, to her right was an earth pony with an berserker armor on, his heavy armor to him wasn’t heavier than a leather tunic thanks to the servos inside the armor.

When Twilight was about to command a teleportation, few of the members of the Enterprise crew finally arrived. Picard, Data, and Worf stepped into the teleportation chamber. She used her magic to give them basic kinetic weaponry.

“Take it, I would like you to kill more than one borg each” After Twilight said this, Picard, still not liking the barbarian weapon, nodded knowing that he will need this.

“Take us to their ship, try teleporting us as close as possible to a distribution node,” as Twilight said this pony behind the console saluted to her and pressed few buttons.

With a flash of light, all six of them appeared in the Borg cube.

“That's different than our transporters,” Picard said as he made a step back to regain balance.

They made few steps forward, but when they took the first corner in front of them was a borg, he threw himself at them and before most of them could react the earth pony jumped two times, first time landing slightly right to the borg, then he launched himself at the borg, he punched the borg with one of his front limbs, just before impact they cowered themselves with a magical shield, when he finally hit the borg, he flew into the wall at the end of the coridor and flew thought it.

“so we are not doing it sneaky,” Twilight said this as enterprises crew’s jaws dropped, not counting Data’s of course.

After few seconds a borg looked through the hole before he could do anything the unicorn aimed with the canon on her back, she carefully positioned herself, her horn started to glow and with it, the cannon fired, the projectile flew through the air and hit the borg.

The newly headless borg fell to the ground.

With this, they started running towards the closest distribution node, taking down any borg they met.

Between tens of borg and the convoluted structure of the cube, it took them few minutes to reach the distribution node.

When Twilight saw it she proceeded to carefully open the casing, after she finished she connected her datapad to the node and used the translation spell on the code.

“How much time can you buy me?” Twilight said trying to understand the nonsensical code.

“about forty more borg-” the stallions looked at the corridor they just walked through, “- probably one or two minutes then lets hope that I can get them down without this suit”

Picard aimed his new hand-held mater accelerator, he shot once, the borg he shot made few steps forward before falling into a pull of blood, still disgusted by the weapon Picard continued firing at the never-ending borg army.

After few minutes Twilight still was trying to figure out the programming of the codes to the self-destruction sequence.

“Twilight! we are having a problem here!” Worf said this as he fired his last shot from the rifle before it powered down, his weapon was last to do so. Still, the earth pony even without his power armor was strong enough to damage the Borg.

The unicorn stood next to Twilight, after firing next shot she took of the helmet.

“Princes, we are really having a problem,” Soral Inkwell said as she powered up her horn again, her horn rather than glowing, flickered, her weapon still fired but when the bullet hit the borg it simply bounced off him. “I’m out,” she said as she fallen to the ground.

“buck-” Twilight hit the Datapad with her hoof, the screen flickered and the decoding algorithm she was working all this time on finally started working “-Yes!!!” she pressed few buttons, but when she was ready to start the self-destruction she realized something, “Control, beam everybody but me out!” before anybody could say no they already were teleported to the ship.

Twilight looked at the borg in the corridor, all of them stopped moving but one, he walked forward and spoke

“Twilight Sparkle of Equestria, we the Borg recognize the strength of your species, we offer you the path to perfection, become one with us” Twilight only smiled.

She pressed the last button and everything went white.

I looked at her, well that ended quickly, but even after some time, I still looked at the frozen image of the final second of Twilights life, I liked that one, but well it’s normal to throw away your broken toys.

I was about to unpause the world outside but a thought struck me, She is an alicorn, I could... no that’s stupid, I’m better than the others, I can throw away my toys I looked closely at her final thought ringed in my mind, well since when I’m this soft?! I touched Twilight’s image with one of my appendages.

Twilight lifted her eyelids, she couldn't fell her body but still, she was confused, she looked at the debris that floated around her, she felt weirdly alive, she felt a weird sensation in the place when her neck was supposed to be. She thought again about the wage memories of what just happened, she apparently died, but not really.

Twilight was really confused, weird feeling spread to her forelimbs, she moved it to her eyes.

Twilight tried to scream, but no there was no sand in her lungs, half of her hoof was a pretty messed up, she saw few drops of blood escape it, she watched as slowly bone started to grow on her limb, then muscle and skin. The gruesome image faded out over time.

Twilight had so many questions, she waited a while thinking about everything as she felt the feeling leave her as the unknown magic finished healing her.

Twilight watched her spaceship in the distance, she thought of her deck, she desperately powered the teleportation spell, she felt her mane lifting from her body as she teleported with ease onto the ship.

Solar Inkwell sat in the middle of the room, she talked with Picard as the official new Captain of the ship she made a simple deal with them, she would help with repairs of their ship, in exchange, her ship would be tool her ship to the nearest Federation space dock and refitted it with the newest warp core as the ship was unable to jump without Twilight.

On the thought of her name few tears dropped from her muzzle, she already said the news to the others, she wasn’t the only one to cry.

Flash

Solar Inkwell looked at the middle of the room, she was sure she was hallucinating when she saw the other crew members equally confused as she was she jumped at the figure

“Mummy!” Solar Inkwell started crying like a child

“It’s ok, let’s get the others,” she said this as she felt her mane slowly fall

Twilight was talking with Picard, the trade deal needed few changes after her reappearance, Twilight had many questions but it wasn’t time for it

“So, are you happy with our new deal?” Twilight asked

“It’s as good as the previous one, still I don’t know how to thank you for the new weaponry when we finish refitting our ships with those mater actererators the borg are not going to have a chance against us” Picard said as he gave the schematics to Data for closer examination.

Their new deal expected her to take their ship to their nearest dock, in exchange they would give her the complete data of the known space and they would sign a trade agreement when the jump gates would be ready.

“Now if you can, I need to go to the bridge so we can get you to your base” Twilight left the room heading towards the deck.

Author's Note

It would be unforgivable not to start a sci-fi crossover series with star trek

Equestrian ships and power-armors introduced in this chapter:
-Storm Maker armor- Military grade pegasus flight suit
-Harmony class- Mobile shipyard/ supercarrier
-Magician class- military corvette
-Warlock armor- unicorn spell enhancing armor.
-Sorcerer armor- range unicorn armor
-Jump gate- a stationary station, as using the rifts to travel takes a lot of magic and a lot of mana control the kilometer in diameter rings are about 90% control machinery.

I didn’t want to put the more technical details in this chapter, so if you want, I can write a side chapter in which I would explain each and every ship.

Also, I know that Twilight has a totally different school in season 8, but when I wrote this chapter I forgot the season 8 trailer and I wanted to keep the flashback scene.

And as always, if you want your favorite science fiction franchise to be featured in this story, please comment.

Also if you found any mistakes or you have some advice then inform me so I can get better at writing
