Assassinverse: Earth, the New Terror
Chapter 3: The signal is sent...
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA few days after the ponies watched a film about the history of Earth and its leader, the film was being talked about everywhere. Copies of the film were being shown all across Equestria and outside of Equestria. Ponies could not get enough of watching the film. Daniel had received hundreds of thousands of letters everyday from ponies who watched the film, asking him questions. He always responded to the letters the best way he could.
One day, Daniel was at his house in Ponyville, writing three storys, one was called "Daniel: My life," which was about his life before he arrived in Equestria. The second was called "Medkos: the history of a dynasty," which was a more detailed version about the history of the Medkos family. And the third one was a story about Twilight and her journey through life called "The life of Twilight Sparkle: a journey".
He was working on the third book, being halfway done, when he heard a knock at the door. He went to see who it was and it was Spike. He opened the door.
"Why good afternoon Spike. To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" asked Daniel
"Daniel, remember a few weeks ago when we were repairing the interior of the Olympia Minsk?" asked Spike
"Yeah, I remember. Why do you ask?" said Daniel
"When we were repairing the ship, I noticed one of the rooms had suffered no damage at all," said Spike
Daniel was interested
"Really, what room was it?" asked Daniel
"There was a sign. Although it was damaged, I can definitely say it said Communications Room," said Spike
Daniel paused. He thought about going to the control room to see if there were any attempts from the Federation to communicate with him.
"Hmm, you know Spike, I think we should take a look into the Communications Room, just to see if anything has happened," said Daniel
"Ok. Let's go, I guess," said Spike
---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
Daniel and Spike went to the Olympia Minsk and entered the ship. They then walked down a long corridor and reached the Communications Room.
"Here it is Spike, the Communications Room. The room where I contact central command back on Earth. Central Command keeps me updated on current events. I also send back data on what I find," said Daniel, as he was looking over the files on a computer
Spike then noticed a stack of paper on a table and went to pick it up. The title read "Study on Pluto and its moons." Spike was curious.
"Daniel?" asked Spike
"Yeah Spike, what is it?" asked Daniel
"What is this "Study of Pluto and its moons?" asked Spike
Daniel paused and looked at the report. He then remembered something that had happened three years ago.
"Spike, that report was one of the many reports that I was suppose to send back to Central Command before I came here. I'm actually starting to remember how I got here," said Daniel, as he went into deep thinking....
---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
Three years earlier
Outside the orbit of a dwarf planet and its moon, the Olympia Minsk was studying the planet. On the bridge, Daniel Medkos Sr was looking out a window at a dwarf planet and its moon. He then pushed a button and said:
"Gabe, write down the following log on a file on the computer to send back to central command," said Daniel
"Yes sir," said Gabe in a monotone voice
"Log date zero-six twelve one hundred and nineteen, the study of Pluto and its moon, Styx, have revealed interesting things about the dwarf planet and its five moons. The dwarf planet has been confirmed to be a viable candidate for colonization. The moons have also been proven to be suitable for colonization. I do have to report a strange phenomenon about the moon Styx. Every time the Olympia Minsk travels between Styx and Pluto, the instruments and computers act weird and the hyperdrive has nearly been activated several times. I'd like to report this to Dyson Sr for his determination on the course of action. End of Log," said Daniel
Daniel looks out the window again as the ship moved between Styx and Pluto. Then an alarm sets off and Daniel sighed. He had dealt with this issue before, whenever the ship travelled between Styx and Pluto, so he headed towards the console to reboot the hyperdrive when, all of a sudden, multiple warnings began to occur.
"What the hell is going on!?" Daniel yelled
Then, Daniel watched in horror, as the computer screen displayed a message saying that the hyperdrive has been activated, and is now preparing to head towards light speed. Daniel held on and could only watch as the ship began to head away towards the unknown and then sped away. Daniel held on for dear life, until the ship arrived at its random destination.
But that wasn't the end of his troubles. The computer suddenly showed a warning, saying that the middle compartment is now on fire and that the weapons systems were offline. Daniel looked out and saw a planet. The only thing he could do now was watch and plan his next move.
---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
"And the rest is history. That's how I arrived here in Equestria," explained Daniel as he finished his story
Spike looked at Daniel with fascination. He now understands how Daniel got here. He looked at Daniel.
"Wow... I never knew that happened," said Spike
"Yeah, it took me a long time to remember what happened, so I guess now you know," said Daniel
Spike just stared at Daniel. He notice that there were several messages on the screen.
"Daniel, you've got several messages on the screen," said Spike
"Indeed I have," said Daniel, as he opened up several messages
"Well, well, well, seems like Central Command has been trying to contact me for three years. And here that's the file and message I was supposed...to...send," said Daniel, as he began to slow down
"Daniel, what's wrong?" asked Spike
"There's a message marked urgent, from the Ministry of the Interior. I wonder what's so urgent that it was sent to me two years ago?" asked Daniel to himself, as he opened up the message, revealing the date to be October the twenty-first, two thousand and one hundred eighteen
"What does the message say?" asked Spike
"Here, I'll read it out," said Daniel as he opened the message up on screen
"To Daniel Sr, this is a message from Darren III, the Minister of the Interior and Prime Miniser of the ITPF. We have a crisis that is, for the next seventy-two hours, not allowed to be released to the public. A few weeks ago, the President of the Intergalactic Terran People's Federation, Darren Sr, fell ill and was taken to the hospital to recover. The doctors said that it will take a long time for Darren Sr to recover. Now, the constitution of the ITPF has officially stated that if the President is ill, then the next person in line...is..." Daniel suddenly began to panic
"What, what's wrong?" asked Spike
"No, no, no!! This can't be!" yelled Daniel, then he screamed loud enough for the sound to be heard outside of the ship and up to Canterlot.
---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
Fifty minutes earlier, in Canterlot
Twilight and her friends were eating at a restaurant, having talked with Daniel a day earlier about the three books. Twilight was happy to be hanging out with her friends again.
However, within a few minutes, Rarity noticed that Spike never came to see her and she began to grow worried.
"Oh, where is my Spikey-Wikey? He hasn't been here for a while" said Rarity
"He did say he was going to Daniel's house to talk to him about something. Maybe we should see what's going on, after we eat," said Twilight
So, after spending fourty minutes talking and eating, Twilight and her friends left Canterlot and went to Ponyville to find Spike. They went to Daniel's house, only to find it empty. They then asked the residents if they had seen Daniel and Spike. Almost all of them didn't see the duo, except for the Cakes, who stated that they had seen Daniel and Spike walking off somewhere. Ten minutes later, the Mane Six then got together in the center of Ponyville.
"Where could they be? It's not like them to just disapper," said Twilight
Before anypony could respond, there was a loud scream
"AAAHHH!!!"
"Oh my word, what was that?!" shrieked Rarity
"It must be Daniel, he might at the Olympia Minsk. Maybe Spike is with Daniel," said Fluttershy
So the Mane Six went to the Olympia Minsk to find Daniel and Spike.
---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
"No, no, no!! Why did this have to happen?! It's impossible!" yelled Daniel
"What? What?! What happened?!" asked Spike
Daniel looked at Spike with a look of both panic and shock
"You're not going to believe me when I say it Spike, so it's better if you read the message Spike," said Daniel, as he showed Spike the message
Spike then began to read the message and the more he read the message, the more his eyes widened in fear.
"What?! "He's" in charge of the ITPF? This has to be a sick joke, right?" asked Spike
"No Spike, it's for real. Now that he's in charge, there's no telling what would happen if he found out about the reports and journals," said Daniel, as he began to pull together all the files about his mission in order to delete them
"Spike, what happened in this room, no pony can know. I don't want to induce fear in the population, got it?" asked Daniel to Spike
"Sure thing Daniel, I don't want to scare Rarity or anypony else. You have my word Daniel," said Spike
"Good. As soon as I delete the files, I will disable the signal so that he can't find out where Equestria is," said Daniel as he was preparing to delete the files and disable the signal when suddenly....
"SPIKE, DANIEL!!" yelled the Mane Six as they entered the communications room
Spike and Daniel were scared and surprised by the Mane Six's arrival,
so that Daniel accidentally hit the send button instead of the delete button. Daniel began to panic.
"No, no, no! This can't be happening! This can't be happening!!" yelled as he began to panic
Twilight and her friends helped Daniel back to the house.
---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
Later, at the house, Spike got Daniel a drink and sat down with Rarity. Twilight then asked Daniel what was wrong. The response they got shocked them.
"I was trying to delete all my files and to disable the signal so that the ITPF couldn't find Equestria," said Daniel
"Why?" asked Fluttershy
"Because I had received a message from the Ministry of the Interior two years ago, saying that my great to the 10th power grandfather, Darren Medkos Sr. has fallen ill and is currently in hospital," said Daniel
Twilight and her friends were shocked and Fluttershy comforted Daniel even more
"Oh you poor thing," Fluttershy hugged him
"Apparently, Darren Sr has been in the hospital for two years now. And that's what made me scared, and it gets worst from there," said Daniel
"Why? What do you mean by that partner?" asked Applejack
"Well, remember how I told you all about Darren Jr being the Vice-president of the ITPF?" Daniel asked the Mane Six
"Yeah, we remember. Why do you ask?" asked Rainbow Dash
"Well, the constitution of the ITPF has stated that if the President of the ITPF has fallen ill and cannot perform his duties, then the next person in line takes the helm," said Daniel
It didn't take long for the Mane Six to put the pieces together
"You saying that stern man is..."
"Yes Rarity. Darren Medkos Jr is the official Acting President of the ITPF and is, in de facto terms, in charge of Earth and its colonies," said Daniel grimly
---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
In a place far, far away, in a room with people working on screens, they were busy looking at maps of planets and star systems.
Then, a pair of double doors opens and a man of an advanced age with a cane, (but not looking like a day over fifty), walked into the room. The people there stood up and saluted the man. One man came up.
"Why, Acting President Darren Jr, we are honored by your presence. What brings you here sir?" asked a man
"I am here to check on your progress. Have you found him?" asked Darren Jr
"No sir, we haven't. We've tried everything, but we can't find him anywhere. Sir, maybe we should call it quits and give up hope," said the man
Darren Jr sighed and looked at the man
"Maybe you're right Dr. Robert. Maybe we should give up. I'll just go and tell father the bad news," said Darren Jr, as he sighed and was about to go when all of a sudden, one of the people suddenly shouted:
"Sir! Get over here, quickly!"
Dr. Roberts and Darren Jr went toward the man
"What is it?"
"We've received a signal and several files from a unidentified location sir," said the man
"Can you open the files and pinpoint the location of the source?" askes Darren Jr
"I can try sir," said the man, as he worked on opening the file and pinpointing the signals location. Soon enough, he was successful.
"Sir, the files, the signature, Daniel Sr is still alive!!" said the man
Everyone in the room cheered at the news, with people hugging and crying tears of joy but then
"Silence!!!" yelled Darren Jr
Everyone in the room went quiet. Darren Jr looked at the man
"How can you be sure that it is Daniel Sr?"
"Because it is him," said a voice
Everyone looked at the entrance and saw a man wearing a lab coat, and of an advanced age. Everyone gasped at the man. Then Darren Jr greeted him
"Ahh, my brother, Dr. Dyson Medkos Sr. how are you toady," asked Daniel
"Everything's just fine brother. Now, what's going on here?" asked Dyson
"Apparently, one of your workers has received several files and a signal from an unknown source, who claims to be Daniel Sr."
Dyson Sr. looked at the files. It took him about ten seconds for him to come to a conclusion
"It is him. It is Daniel Sr. I'm positive," said Dyson Sr.
"If what you are saying is true, then that means that Daniel Sr. is still alive!"
"Sir, i was able to pinpoint the location of the signal, said the man, as he pointed on a map on the screen
Darren Jr, and Dyson Sr. looked at the map
"So, Daniel is stuck on a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy?! How on earth did Daniel get stuck on a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy? It would take about ten years to get there with the technology we have at the moment!"
"Well, from what the files Daniel Sr. have gathered, it seems that everytime a ship is in between the dwarf planet Pluto and it's moon Styx, the hyperdrive is activated, so maybe that's how Daniel Sr. got to the Andromeda Galaxy," said Dyson Sr.
"Well, do we know which planet Daniel Sr. is stuck on?"
"Well, according to the files, the planet actually does have a name," said Dyson Sr.
"Well, what's the planet's name?" asked
"The planet is called... Equestria?" said Dyson Sr.
Author's Note
Wow, that happened. Twilight and her friends have accidentally made Daniel send the signal back to Central Command. I bet you didn't expect Equestria to be in the Andromeda Galaxy, did ya? I told you that Darren Jr. would make an appearance, along with Dyson Sr. So, what happens next? You'll have to find out on the next chapter of Assassinverse: Earth, the New Terror chapter 4: Reunion part 1
