DISCOVERY

P.O.V. SHIFT

Rostlus

After saving the CMC from the Timberwolves I walked over to them and knelt to not scare them more.

"Hello, little ones," what I got in return was three extremely happy fillies.

"That was awesome! not as awesome as Rainbow Dash but still cool," heh, Scootaloo never change

"Are any of you hurt?" my cause for concern was true when Sweetie Belle lifted her foreleg for me to see.

"Oooh, little one come here," I gingerly picked up Sweetie Belle and told the other two to follow me, before I busted out into the area were they little ones were I told Buzz Beak to go scan out the area from there to Ponyville. As we were walking towards Ponyville Buzz came from up the path and landed on my right shoulder.

"Now I know you have even more questions now but let's wait until we get to safety first," Buzz looked at Sweetie and saw her injury and surprised me with something reminiscent of the Medi-gun from TF2, a baby-blue Medi-beam slowly went from his eyes to Sweetie's foreleg. After he finished, Sweetie wanted to be set on the ground but I told her we were almost there and she was too adorable to let go of. As we were I noticed the adult ponies are about double the height of a foal but I was twice as tall of the adults.

I soon saw the mane 6 approaching and three out of all of them had faces of pure rage when they spotted us, by far rarity was the most angry.

"Unhand my sister you ruffian!"

"Yeah! and Scoots stay away from that thing!"

"Applebloom when we get home yer in for a mighty heap of trouble!"

I gently set Sweetie on the ground and told the CMC and to go to there respective sisters. I quickly had to think of something to calm them down. "Dammit! Kevin was always better with words than me."

In the most disarming and soothing voice I could manage I tried being diplomatic. "Hello, I come here in peace, all I wish is for some food and water and I will be on my way," yay travelling alien speech bullshit.

Twilight looked at me with a suspicious gaze and asked, "What is your name?"

"My name is, Rostlus and this is Buzz Beak," they all looked at the metal bird with curiosity but snapped out of it quickly refocusing on me.

"Well, come with us we have some questions for you," they started walking off with me silently following them, one of them would occasionally look back to see if I was still following. Though no one noticed how Buzz Beak's eyes showed a slight hint of blue instead of the normally pure snow white eyes.

The walk through Ponyville was nice enough, no one ran in fear of me, most if not all the foals looked on with awe when they spotted me but the adults looked at me with worry. Short as it was the walk had to end and it ended at the Golden Oaks Library, after we got inside they went to the meeting area they usually went in the show when they all were doing something together.

After the mane six and the CMC took a seat in a semi-circle in front of me Twilight asked the first question as she poofed some old timey writing supplies in her magic, "First of all, Rostlus, what are you?"

"I am a human, and we are an extremely adaptive species,"

After she finished her scribbling she asked, "Okay, next question, how did you get to Equestria," "aw geez, what am I going to say, wait a minute!"

"Me and another one of my kind arrived here by accident by some strange magical surge that happened quite some time ago, you see we arrived in this cave right underneath that mountain city, but me and my friend only recently found a good home in the caves in the nearby forest, it reminds us of home,"

Rarity asked the question this time "Oh how dreadful but, how do you keep such magnificent beauty on your clothing darling?"

"I wouldn't know, my friend is the one that maintains our clothing,"

"Oh I ask her how she does it,"

I looked at her with a disappointed frown on my face and said, "My friend is male not female,"

She simply balked at the idea of a stallion doing anything involving clothing maintenance with such skill, even spike wasn't that good at washing his own little tux, at least that's what I thought was what went through her head at the time.

"It's alright, though I'm not offended it's just, he's like a big brother to me and I feel the need to protect him,"

"I reckon ya have a point there sugar cube but I was jest wondering, what were ya doin out there with our sisters anyhow?"

"I saved them from a pack of Timberwolves, but don't worry I made sure they were alright after I took the Timberwolves out,"

Rainbow dash got a cranky look and got in my face to ask, "Oh yeah! how did you do it, you clearly don't have claws or tough skin, I bet your lying!" all I did was unclip my short sword and point it near her face.

"That a good enough answer for ya?" I said this with a smug smirk while Dash backed off and looked kinda spooked.

Fluttershy asked the next question with some help from Rarity. "W-why does it look like a bird if it's a w-weapon,"

"Well my friend made my armor, my weapons, and Buzz Beak,"

"Okay, Rostlus, I'm sorry for being rude but your a new species that came near town with some weapons, anyway my name is Twilight Sparkle,"

After Twilight introduced her friends and the CMC to me they asked some more unimportant questions sometime near the end it was apparent to everyone that it was quite late, so Twilight offered me her guest room and I gladly accepted. Though before I went to bed I sent Buzz back to base to inform Kevin where I was
