Twilight Sparkle wasn't the type of girl who's into magical fantasy. She was a woman of science, and wasn't the type for making friends, and always spent her time with her dog, Spike. But all that was going to change sooner or later, whether she went to that paranormal school or not.

She woke up as a mythical creature called an alicorn and found herself to be in some sort of weird castle run by a strange race of metal-based humanoids that looked like a knight's suit of armor. Thankfully, Spike is here along with her, but he changed as well, and can talk now. Fortunately, they were not alone.

Several others were taken hostage by those things, transformed into multi-colored horses, but the majority of them were surprisingly from that strange school that she was analyzing. What will she do? Find out in this story.

In my headcanon, the two worlds are not a perfect match, and one can be manipulated out of whack without the other being affected whatsoever. This story takes place around mid-season 5, and in this AU, the portal was shut down just after Rainbow Rocks, never to be able to be used again.
