RC-21 got out of there as fast as he could and traveled many miles away from the military base to find a place to recover and get back his strength, RC-21 arrived by a river that had running clean water where he could drink. He ran over to the river with all the strength he had and got to the river, he took off his mask and put water on his hands and drinks the clean water. The water began going down his throat which made the pain slowly go away, he drank and drank the water to try to get rid of the pain and it seemed to work. He tried to get a word out of his mouth but no words came out, he continued drinking from the river and began to see ponies walking by. He then began to run away so he wouldn't be noticed by them, he ran through the forest and whipped off the water that was on his mouth and breathed heavily from the running.

He then began to walk slowly until he heard a sound behind him, he looked behind him to see what it was, he put on his battle mask to be ready if it poses a threat to him. Then out of the buses, came a little rabbit. It was small and it didn't seem to pose any real threat to RC-21, he kneeled down and petted it with his finger. But then the rabbit ran away and RC-21 was confused about why it would run away, was it scared of him, it didn't fear him at first.

RC-21 looked behind him to see a lion with a scorpion tail and dragon wings, this was something that scared RC-21. It was nothing he has ever seen before. As it began launching its tail right at RC-21, he jumped out of the way and took out his wrist blade and cut off the tail when it was stuck to the ground. The Manticore screamed in pain and got, even more, angrier, RC-21 did the most logical thing he could do and that was to run.


At the crystal empire, Twilight and her friends where visiting Shining Armor after hearing that he was injured. This is something that worried Twilight much more because he is her brother after all. She entered inside of the medical room where Shining Armor was lying on his bed, a cast was covering his legs and front hooves, he even had a visible scar on his face by the left eye.

Twilight ran over to him to get a closer look at her injured brother, Shining was still conscious but couldn't move, he looked over to her sister and gave her a little smile. "Hi Twilight, how is my baby sister?" Shining said jokingly, although he was injured, he could still have a sense of humor. A tear came down Twilight's eye as she began hugging her big brother, then one of the guards walked into the room with a huge trolley into the room.

"Sir I thought you might want to see it," The pony guard told Shining Armor.

"Oh, oh what is it, is it cake, is it Pie?" Pinkie Pie asked jumping up and down, the guard rolled his eyes by what Pinkie said.

"What is it, sir... sir," Shining Armor couldn't get the words properly out of his mouth because it is rather that he was so weak that he couldn't say it out loud, or that the attack caused a memory loss.

"Sir Orion, Orion Spark," Orion replied "sir we went to the destroyed base and found the remains of those you described them as,"

"Wait, what?" Twilight said looking at her brother.

"Urgh, one of our military bases got attacked by this creature who stood on two legs and had two long arms, it even had clothes on it and metal armor that seemed to block every magical blast from us," Shining Explained "it looked like it was a monkey but, it didn't have hair on its face and its face looked different from many monkeys's I've ever seen, this one was big as a gorilla, but instead of a muscular body, it was skinny and had smaller hands and smaller feet," Shining Explained again, he began lying down on his bed and began sleeping.

"Shining? Shining?" Twilight yelled, fearing that her brother might just die.

"Princess, it's okay, he is only resting he has been in a lot of crap right now, and might have memory loss of what happened, I think you might want to leave," Orion told the princess. Twilight backed off from Shining Armor and was about to leave with her friends when she realized that Orion didn't get to show Shining Armor. She turned around to ask Orion what he wanted to show Shining Armor and he replied with "it was something that we recovered from the destroyed base,"

"What is it?" Twilight asked, this also caught the attention of Twilight friends who wanted to see what it was.

The Trolley had blanked over it which covered what actually laid under there, "it is something we can't really explain," Orion said as he removed the blanket to reveal metal parts that looked out of this world. There was this type of mask that had has two circling things on its cheeks, it looked like a gas mask. One of its eyes was broken and it seemed like it was made entirely by something that looked like that it was sunglasses mounted on a helmet. It had a split open opening that looked like a scar on it. The helmet seemed to be burned up seeing from the scratches, and the burn marks. Next, to it, it was something that looked like an arm, it was was burned and destroyed from seeing from the markings. Then next to it there was a leg that was also completely destroyed and distorted.

"Sweet Celestia," Rarity said feeling disgusted by having to see something so horrific.

"Where in Tartarus did this thing come from?" Rainbow Dash said.

"I don't know, but it is not from this world," Orion said looking at the the scrap on the trolley and back at the main 6.
