From The Stars

Somewhere in the solar system on one of a moon of a planet far away from Equestria that was filled with oxygen so a person could survive on it, there was a spaceship that crashlanded on the moon. A blue and red Imperials named Scarlett and Cobalt had just tracked down a Rebel that was fleeing from Earth and just shot him down on the moon where they fought against him. Cobalt was holding the Rebel's arm that he just cut off with his blade and threw it away.

"Where is General Roman?" Scarlett asked, "he survived the fall of the resistance city, and no rebellion is truly dead until the leader is vanquished, so where is he?"

The injured was laying on the ground as he replied "my name is Orion Stark, Lieutenant of the Orbis Resistance, my duty is to... Argh," Orion screamed in pain as Cobalt's sword plunged into his chest. But it didn't kill him as the sword only got the metal chest plate, but it still hurt as there were a few sparks under the plate which really hurt the flesh on him.

"You gave me the wrong answer, we know that they are trying to establish a base, tell us where it is and we may let you live," Scarlett said in the while in the middle of the sentence was taunting him on his pain, but it was true that she was going to let him live as he was very young.

"My name is..." as Orion was about to repeat what he just said, Cobalt twisted his blade which made it more painful.

"Stop now, Cobalt, we are going to let him live," Scarlett said, and she was being literal about it.

"What," Orion asked with a confused tone, he had no idea what she really meant.

"Oh yes, I know a lot about you, Orion Stark, Lieutenant of the Resistance, son of the former lieutenant Magnus Stark, you worked behind the computers but were still active for a fight. And Autistic, it surprises me why they would let an 18-year-old with Autism take a role this big," Scarlett said as she walked around and stood behind Orion and crouched down and stroked Orion's hair and grabbed his head with her one hand. "Now tell me where is General Roman," Scarlett asked.

"I'll never talk," Orion said.

"I knew you would say that," Scarlett said as she turned her fingertips into sharp claws and plunged it into his metal plate where he would groan in pain. Then the sound of a distress call began opening, and Scarlett and Cobalt looked at each other when they heard the call. "That's RC-21s signal," Scarlett said.

"Can you trace it?" Cobalt asked as Scarlett rose up from the ground and walked over to Cobalt.

"I already did," Scarlett said and turned around to look at Orion "if you don't want to tell us where Roman is, maybe your friend will,"

"He'll never talk," Orion said.

"Is that so," Scarlett said as Cobalt raised up his sword and tried to slice Orion in half, Orion held up his arms but then Cobalt didn't kill him. He looked up to see them in their spaceship leaving the moon, Orion's ship was impossible to repair, all he had was devices and food inside of the ship that would help him survive on the moon.

RC-21 ran and ran through the forest away from the manticore, RC-21 has read about them in Greek mythology but had never imagined that he would see on in real life. But it is no time for wonder because he is being chased through the forest and is about to kill him. As RC-21 got between two trees he cut them down with his blade, but this would only slow down the manticore as it would continue to follow RC-21 through the forest.

RC-21 got out of the trees and found himself on the railroad, but there was no train in sight, he breathed heavily and looked behind him to see the manticore running in the tree's and was about to attack him when a train appeared. The manticore tried to jump on top of RC-21 to kill him but he moved out of the way. As the manticore stood on the railroad, it was run over by the train as RC-21 ran into the bushes. He looked at the ponies while hiding in the bushes, he observed as they stopped the train and walked out of the train.

He observed the sentient life form that populated the planet and began to wonder how these creatures are sentient, and how they could talk, and build something like a train and construct houses and buildings.

Inside of the train, the passengers began to wonder why they stopped the train, the main 6 was also on the train and also wondered why they stopped the train. As the passengers and the rest of the main 6 were asking why the train stopped, Fluttershy looked out of the window in boredom and saw a mysterious creature walk through the bushes when no one was looking and ran to the back of the train. Fluttershy began rising up from her seat and walked to the back side of the train to get a better look at what this creature looked like.

She walked out of the train wagon and followed this creature as it didn't seem to notice her, then the creature went into the train's cargo wagon where all the food was storage. She walked into the cargo wagon to see a creature looking through the boxes that had apples in them. When it spotted Fluttershy as it turned around, it was startled when it saw Fluttershy and began to back down. It hit its head on a log and fell down on the ground, he just sat down on the ground cowering in the corner of the wagon.

Fluttershy did not fear this creature and tried to comfort it because she knew that it was scared, "hi there," Fluttershy said and the creature held his arm in front of his face. "Who are you?" Fluttershy asked "can you speak?" she asked again and then the creature made sounds with its mouth which looked like it tried to speak, but it couldn't speak. "I am not gonna hurt you," Fluttershy said as she slowly walks to the creature.

It didn't fear Fluttershy anymore and began kneeling down and moved it's head closer to Fluttershy, she placed her hoof on his chin and placed her other hoof on his other chin. "Do you have a name?" Fluttershy asked, the creature nodded and looked at its shoulder. Fluttershy looked on his shoulder to see letters and numbers which was "RC-21" which was his name. The creature held up it's a hand pointing its finger at Fluttershy. "What is it?" Fluttershy asked, RC-21 pointed his finger again at Fluttershy and she realized that he was going to say what her name was, "oh who am I?" RC-21 nodded his head and smiled.

"Oh, I am Fluttershy," Fluttershy replied with a very low pitched voice. "Where did you come from?" Fluttershy asked, RC-21 sighed meaning that he didn't know, he knew but it meant that the place he came from is gone. "Do you have a family?" Fluttershy asked RC-21 sighed again, meaning that his family was gone or that he didn't have any. RC-21 lowered his head in shyness just like what Fluttershy would actually do. "So you don't have a name?" Fluttershy said as RC-21 lowered his head even more, "I'll call you Ryder from now on," Fluttershy said and RC-21 looked at Fluttershy for a few little micro-secs. "I'm gonna call you that from now on, Ryder," Fluttershy said and Ryder then began looking at Fluttershy face to face as they both smiled at each other.
