God Problems
Chapter 5: Strangers
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSunset was chasing Xeno around the house as he giggled, Pinkie meanwhile was sitting next to Illusio looking over some plans “We need more to put more effort into uniting the Gods of Destruction, maybe have them give us a statue report every ten years.”
Illusio nodded “That is fair, stop gods like Beerus from sleeping for too long and neglecting their duties. Now we just need to…”
They heard the sound of knocking at the door, Pinkie grimaced “I’ll get the door.” Pinkie walked over to the door and opened it only to see several men carrying firearms, Pinkie frowned “Who are you and what do you want from us?”
The man at the front frowned “I am Captain Ironside, and we have something to discuss with your alien friend.”
Pinkie’s eyes narrowed “First that’s girlfriend, second you didn’t answer my questions! Who are you and what do you want from us?! You will answer me or I will tear you to shreds!”
The Captain flinched as energy began to bubble around her “Alright fine, we will tell you just don’t tell anyone else this is top secret government information.”
Pinkie frowned “I promise I won’t tell anyone who this doesn’t pertain to, but if it involves others I will inform them. Whatever you are doing sounds dangerous and I will not put those around me in danger.”
Captain Ironside sighed “Very well, we are X-COM. A secret organisation fighting aliens who have been appearing all over the world. We are here as they have been moving towards this area likely in response to the strange energy signatures that wqe have detected.”
Pinkie nodded “It seems we need to work together on this, come on in.”
The squad entered the house, Illusio and Sunset who was carrying Xeno frowned at the firearms “Who are these people?”
Pinkie grimaced “It seems a group of hostile aliens are seeking out magic, we will need the help of these X-COM soldiers here to figure out what to do now.”
Captain Ironside laughed “Magic, you mean that fairy tale nonsense. There is no such thing as magic, that is just some dumb legend and…” Sunset conjured up a ball of fire raising an eyebrow “The Captain’s eyes alongside those of his men widened in shock “Impossible.”
Sunset flared out her bug like wings “We have plenty of seemingly impossible things, besides I’m sure you have heard of the other continent and the strange beings that live there.”
The Captain shook his head “From what I can tell we have entered an agreement to avoid contact with the. As such we are two separate worlds in the eyes of all governments.”
Pinkie grimaced “So what aliens have bee spotted locally.”
The Captain put up pictures strange tall looking human creatures and small bipedal aliens with large heads “These are the Thin Men and Sectoids, nothing bigger has been spotted yet in the area. Still I advise you two be careful.”
Illusio nodded “We’ll keep an eye out, for any suspicious activity.”
Sunset passed Xeno to Pinkie as she headed upstairs, she picked up her journal
To Twilight Sparkle
We have been informed that a series of hostile aliens have arrived on the planet. Be careful, they may try to come through the portal. We are unsure what they are capable of. As such I wish for you to be careful.
From your friend Sunset Shimmer
Meanwhile in Equestria Arthas heard the sound of the journal buzzing, he shouted “Twilight, Sunset is contacting you.”
Twilight teleported into the room and gave him a peck on the cheek before opening the book. Her eyes narrowed as she read the words across the paper “We need to put some guards around the mirror portal. It seems hostile aliens could come through somehow and I’d rather that if they find a way through can’t get far.”
Arthas nodded “Twilight, I will see that it is done.” Twilight smiled as she started writing in the journal
To Sunset Shimmer
I must thank you for the warning, It would be bad if these hostile aliens found their way into Equestria. We are not equipped for a large scale war that would come from this type of conflict. Stay safe over there.
From your friend Twilight Sparkle
On the other side of the portal, Sunset smiled glad that Twilight was taking this seriously she then looked over to the magical scanner she had built. She was picking up powerful readings from Camp Everfree, she frowned as she returned downstairs “Good news I was able to inform someone to reduce a certain risk but there is high source of magic coming from Camp Everfree. I will be heading there for an activity in two weeks. You may wish to deploy a few small squads there in secret.”
Captain Ironside nodded “Very well, I’ll bring the report to my higher ups. For now though you two should know that we are watching all of you closely. While some of you are confirmed to be citizens that magic of yours has us observing you closely.”
Sunset shook her head “Going to war with us wouldn’t be wise, I could quite easily seize control of the sun and weaponise it should you decide to oppose us. I would rather not but sometime hard decisions have to be made.”
Pinkie then clicked her fingers as several wolf sheep appeared “I can control reality in almost any aspect as can Sunset to a lesser degree. There is not much point fighting those who can turn the laws of reality against you is there.”
Captain Storm looked at the two of them “What are you two exactly?”
Sunset frowned “It would not be inaccurate to call us gods that gods would consider gods. I hope that is enough for you to understand what we are capable of.” The Captain nodded sweating slightly before ordering his squad to leave. The two goddesses decided to have a rest with their family for the rest of the day.
