The Pony Scrolls: Equestria

(A/N:) Sorry if the story keeps showing a new chapter, just some errors I'm trying to fix in the story.

As Orion packed his bag, he found a picture of his father and him having fun at a park. Even though his father was probably one of the busiest unicorns in Equestria, he still managed to find time for him. He held the picture to his head and set it down. He packed his bag with all the essential materials. Food, medical supplies, books of analysis, spell tomes. But he was missing something. He turned to a closet holding guards armor.

It was required for every male pony to be in the Royal Guard for at least one year. Orion did it and decided to let the armor catch dust afterwords. The armor was the color red, the lowest ranking of the guard armor. He put on the chest piece and grieves, the rest of the armor was either broken or missing. The last thing he needed was a weapon. He turned around and found his old sword, hanging from the wall at the head of his bed. He took it down and unsheathed it, it was still sharp. He swung it around a few times. It gave off a good sound. He sheathed it and put it to his side. He made his way out to the rest of the ponies.

Applejack was stretching her body, getting ready for the adventure. Rarity was folding her clothes neatly into her bag. Rainbow Dash was trotting in place, waiting for the group to get going. Fluttershy was examining her medical supplies, making sure she had everything she needed. Pinkie Pie was filling her bag up with all sorts of baked goods. Twilight was filling her bag with books, endless amounts of books. Spike was filling his bag with scrolls. But there was a problem, their bags were weighing them down.

“How in Equestria are we going to make our way across with all of our junk weighing us down?” Applejack asked.

Orion tapped his chin. He had an idea. “There was this pony that came to my bar a few years ago. He taught me how to enchant certain articles of clothing to store more things. Pockets for example.” His horn shined at Twilight's bag. Suddenly the bag appeared as though it were empty.

“What did you do with the books?” she asked.

“They're still in there, but now you can store even more things in there.”

Twilight looked into the bag. “It's bigger on the inside,” she looked at the bag, “then it is on the outside.”

“Yeah that's the great thing about this enchantment, though you'll still need to empty it once and a while, it'll still fill up.” Orion did the same enchantment to all the others bags.

“So who taught you this?” Spike asked.

“I think he was a Doctor. Or something along those lines. Either way it doesn't matter, he took off.” Orion and the group walked outside. He locked the door behind him. He looked to the house and made his way with the group.

“Okay so we're going to need to split up, that way we can get our powers faster and find the key to getting this all sorted out.” Twilight looked through the map she created showing where all the races were. “Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, and Spike are with me.” They gathered around Twilight. “And Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Orion will head south and into the clouds apparently.

“Wouldn't we have seen the Albatari if they lived in the clouds? I mean Cloudsdale is in the clouds so what's the deal.” Rainbow was right to be curious.

“It would stand to reason that they wouldn't want to be seen Rainbow. And if the legend is true, they might have some kind of device that could cloak them.” Orion looked back to the shed that was in back of the house. “My dad always worked on this bathysphere sort of thing in the shed. Maybe that's the key we're looking for.”

“Alright, you guys figure that out, we better be on our way.” Twilight put the map back into her bag. The group said their good byes and each made their way out. Twilight's group to the North, Orion's to the South.

“Hey Twilight,” Orion said telepathically, “Faust protect you.” Twilight smiled.

“You too Orion.” Finally, after months of not writing, the adventure began.

Orion and his crew opened up the shed showing the bathysphere, covered in dust and cobwebs. Orion dusted off the machine.

“So, any idea how this thing works?” Orion asked. Rainbow and Fluttershy inspected the entirety of the machine. Finally they found a lever. Fluttershy pulled it.

“Eep!” She hid behind Orion and Rainbow as the door to the sphere opened up. They all looked at one another and stepped inside. The inside of the sphere was very nice. Leather chairs, a control panel, speakers, and even cup holders.

“Ha. Dad always said that cup holders were the greatest invention ponies ever made.” Rainbow rolled her eyes.

“But what does this have to do with-” She was interrupted when the door slammed shut.

“That's never a good sign.” Fluttershy said. The speakers rang with a nice pleasant song.

“Attention, please take your seats, you're about to be launched 30,000 feet into the air. (9144 Meters) Please strap in or else the force of the launch will destroy you. Have a nice day.” The group looked at one another and took to their seats. “Launching in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, skip a few, 1, 0. The sphere launched from the shed and made their way to the sky. The group screamed with terror. They made their way through layers and layers of atmosphere. Until they finally reached a point where if they went any higher, they could have gone into space. The radio started to blare.

“This Albatari Flight Control to Manar 1, do you read us Manar 1?” Rainbow saw a microphone on the ground and picked it up. She passed it to Orion.

“Um. This is Manar 1. We read you.” Orion was unsure what to say.

“It has been a number of years since your last visit Manar 1, please send us your credentials and we'll allow you to land.” The group looked around at one another.

“We don't have any credentials.” The radio went silent.

“No credentials? Well no entry.” The group got scared.

“But we don't know how to land this thing.” Rainbow said.

“Perhaps you shouldn't have gotten into it.” Orion scowled. Fluttershy took the microphone.

“Please, we have come seeking your assistance. Equestria is facing the danger of the Alicorns and we need help.” Orion and Rainbow hoped that Fluttershy's plea didn't go on deaf ears. The radio crackled.

“This is the administrator of Albatari control, did you say Alicorns?”

“Yes! We need help and notes from Essan Manar suggests that you'll be able to help.” Just then, an engine on the bathysphere exploded. “That's not good.”

“Stand by Manar 1. We'll pull you in.” Rainbow looked around.

“Pull us into where?” With that a structure the size of Canterlot appeared in front of them. “Oh. Into that.” A blue beam surrounded them.

“I guess we're going in.” The bathysphere went on its way.

Twilight and her group made their way over fields and fields of crops until they came close to Ponyville.

“Twilight do you think we could stop at Ponyville? Ah need to check on my family and see if they're okay.” for Applejack, family was the most important thing.

“Of course Applejack, what about you Rarity?” Rarity shook her head.

“Sweetie Belle is with my Mom and Dad over in Mareland. They'll be safe there for now.”

“And the Cakes went over to Paris.” (What? You come up with pony names for towns.)

“Alright, and me and Spike will be able to get more supplies at the library.” They then found a hill that overlooked Ponyville, they rushed towards it. “No...” Twilight spoke.

Ponyville was burning.
