Chapter 2 : Taking Action
Time : 1555
Rainbow was stuck for more than half a hour. She began to think that her friends would never find her. But when you looked back... You think about what you did wrong. She clearly underestimated her opponent. That... Thing was very agile, even though it seemed that it was wearing tons of clothes. Rainbow could swear that he was talking to somepony in the distance when it left her. Judging by the fact, it's voice was masculine,so he was probably a male. She never saw anything like it. His hooves weren't even hooves. They were claws, but were not pointy and sharp. She couldn't see his face,because he had a mask.
- "Rainbow! Are you here? Hello?" A familiar voice called, it was Twilight.
She looked behind, it were her friends.
"Guys, I'm over here!" Rainbow called back. Hopefully they will be able to bail her out of this mess.
"Rainbow, what happened?" Twilight asked while pulling her out of the hole in the tree.
"I... Don't know. He somehow ran up the tree and made a backflip. I couldn't change direction because it was alreay too late. So I got stuck, as you see. But I am perfectly fine!" Then she noticed that her wing is out of place. "Ouch!"
"Yeah, of course you are."
Twilight fnished tacking care of what ever blocked Rainbow to slip out of the tree trunk. After that she became a couriosity monster.
- "How do you know it was a male? How did it look like?" Twilight started with her usual barrage of questions.
Just as Rainbow predicted...
"I'l tell you along the way..." She slipped out of the tree, and made her way through the forest, with her friends following closely. She couldn't fly though, her left wing was kicked out of it's place, no bleeding though.
"So... This is how it all happened..."

"So you got away, just like that?" Robin was still confused about everything. While Vedran and him ran into some strange wooden wolves, Jesse was running away from some ponies? That's not what he expected though.
"Yes, I was pretty sure they were after us too." Jesse awnsered.
"Why would they be searching for us? We didn't do anything wrong." Vedran said. He knew himself that he heard of these coloured ponies long ago. But he couldn't remember how.
"Don't ask me. While I was spying on them, they were talking about a letter from... The princess I suppose? Not sure, but I think that's it." It was strange listening to the their conversation though. They made some modifications to some words such as somepony or anypony. He now knew that there are more of those ponies out there.
"How did they look?" Robin continued to seek awnsers.
"They were all coloured, and had strange marks on their flanks. Similar to tatooes, but it was a part of their fur."
"This shit get's more interesting by the minute." Vedran pointed out with a chuckle.
"I know, but I can't tell you anything else, I'm out of info." Jesse sighed.
"That's too bad."
"But we must be careful, we don't want any attetion or unwanted company." Jesse warned.
"Sure, we will." Vedran was about to leave when he remembered something. "Oh, I fixed the tank and our communication devices. I'm going to prepare and organise the base a bit, then I'm hitting my sleeping bag."
"Sleeping bags? You have that too? Man, you're suspicious." Robin raised his eyebrow.
"The tank can hold a lot stuff if you're careful."
"Right, have a good time cleaning everything here." Robin laughed.
"Screw you man."

Rainbow had a really bad time yesterday. Well the only bad thing was that she got her wing pulled out of it's socket. Yesterday, as soon as she got to the hospital, they gave her a healing potion and Twilight used a healing spell. It hurt like hell, but she got over it. Rainbow broke her wing many times, and was use to it.
'Rainbow. Wake up.'
She began to open her eyes, but her weakness prevented her to do so.
'Wake up.'
"A little more time, mom..." She yawned.
"Wake up Rainbow!" Twilight screamed.
She felt like her eardrums bursted. Probably because of that medicine... Darn those side effects.
"Huh, what? I'm awake!" Rainbow murmured.
"Come on, get up! We have to find those creatures!" Twilight was persisten to get her out of the bed.
"Oh, yeah."
"Princess Celestia wants us to find out who they are."
"Alright then."
"How is that wing doing?" Twilight asked.
Rainbow hopped of her hospital bed, and proceeded to examine her wing. It still hurt a bit, but it was back in it's place though. She flapped it a couple of times. It was alright, she could fly, but not for a long time.
"It's better, I can fly, but not long though."
"Okay, let's go get the girls."

All of the three crew members woke up. They started to get their gear ready early, there was a long day ahead of them. Each one of them loaded thier respected weapons and explosives and proceeded to get the tank ready for action. It's new cloaking abillity was still operational, and it seems it will stay that way. Vedran explained Jesse and Robin how to reaload with magazines filled with liquid metal. All of them got ready.
"Alright, we're leaving this hell hole of a cave. If we don't find anything, we're coming back here." Jesse said determined.
"Guys, I don't know if you have seen this, but... Our tank's fuel stats just changed from 60% to 100%. Same with the ammo count, it says it's infinite."
"It's an alternative dimension, anything can happen here. But infinite fuel and ammo? Wow, God must really like us." Jesse awnsered.
"Vedran... What the hell is wrong with your left eye?" Robin wondered and glanced at him with a confused look.
The gunner jumped down in the tank and went to the turned off monitor display. All he saw that his whole left eye sclera was red. He didn't feel anything wrong though. It wasn't bugging him at all.
"Well, holy crap. It doesn't bother me anyways. Let's get moving."
"Right, let's go."

The Main 6 was ready this time. Even though the weather was hotter than expected, they had thier saddlebags or anything else that would help them stay in the forest as long as possible. They needed to find whatever was roaming in that forest. They were wared by princess Celestia herself, but they wanted to know exactly what's going on.
As they expected themselves, they didn't in anything interesting last 2 hours. Twilight and Rainbow Dash decided that they would follow the path they took yesterday. Both of them, same as the rest of the group, were determined to find whatever hurt Rainbow Dash, or what she tried to hunt down.
Suddenly, a faint sound of metal screeching echoed through the Everfree. It was getting closer every minute. They were literally in the track of whatever was going to them. They decided to hide in the bushes, just to see the most unusual type of transport they have ever see.
"What do you think it is?" Twilight wispered.
"I don't know! I looks like a metal carriage with a big snout." Rainbow added.
"Maybe it uses it's snout to eat cupcakes!" Pinkie said loudly, but Applejack managed to silence her before that... Thing heard them.
The giant metal carriage suddenly stopped. It runed it's big snout away from them, but something on top of it opened. A Figure stepped out.
- "That's the guy who got away!" Rainbow hissed.
He jumped down and puched the metal beast several times. Shortly after two of his friends also got out and took a look around. All of them looked different, but carried similar things like metal sticks and clothing.
The Elements were shocked. If there were more of them than just three, what would happen then? One of the creatures broke the silence.
"Jesse, are you sure that you encountered the ponies here yesterday?"
"Yes."
'Wow! They speak perfect Equestrian!? This is so exciting!' Twilight though while taking down notes. An intirely new sentient species. This brings more questions than awnsers. While she looked away, one of them dissapeared. She asked Applejack and Rainbow, but they didn't know either.
After a short amount of time they heard rustling behind them followed by a voice.
- "Hate to be a party pooper, but you're coming with us."
Main 6 froze.
