M.I.T campus canteen

In the canteen area in the M.I.T campus. Charlie Lam was lining up behind four students to buy his lunch. And after waiting for 1 minute and 32 seconds, it was his turn to buy a lunch to eat. He walked up to the counter and faced the counter lady who smiled when she saw him.

"Hello there Charlie, what would like to eat today?"

"Hello there miss Lauren, I would like to have a spaghetti today please."

"Okay, that would be 5.50 please." Lauren said in a polite tone.

Charlie reached into his right pocket with his right hand and pulled out his wallet,. After that, he unfolded it and pulled out a five dollar bill and fifty cents.

"Here you go miss Lauren." Charlie said handing the money to her.

"Thank you so much darling." Lauren said as she put the money in the cash register. After that, she grabbed a spaghetti box from a tray behind her and placed it on the counter in front of him.

"Enjoy your lunch."

"Thank you." Charlie said with a bow. After that, he turned around and began to find seats. Then someone called him.

"Yo Charlie! Come over here!"

When Charlie heard the intimate voice, he looked to his left and saw his best friend Markus sitting on a chair in front of a table with an empty seat in front of him. Charlie smiled and walked up to his friend's table. Once he got there he placed his spaghetti lunch on the table and took a seat in front of him.

"How's it going Charlie?" Markus asked him.

"It's going great." Charlie replied while opening the spaghetti box and grabbing a fork next to him on the table "Just upgraded my wrist computer and computer in computer science." He told him.

"That great!" Markus said with a smile "Do you have anything else to declare?" He asked.

"During my chemical engineering lesson, the teacher preached me and my classmates about fluid mechanics, and it was simple as heck. And finally, we were assigned to conduct an experiment about some chemical properties with some of our gadgets we designed. And the most humiliating part is that my safety goggle scanners ran out of power before I could even conduct." Charlie told him with a chuckle.

Markus then laughed from his friend's humorous information.

"Hahaha! Now that is drastically amusing. But quite unfortunate."

"Yeah I know, anyways I want to eat my lunch now." Charlie said as he munched on his spaghetti.

"Go ahead my friend, and I will eat mines as well." Markus said biting one of his chicken drumstick.

While Charlie was eating his spaghetti, he heard a noise from the TV.

He looked up and saw that it was the into of ABC news, Charlie placed his fork down and decided to see what the news has to give. Then, a female reporter was seen on the large TV.

"Welcome back to ABC news and today we have some petrifying news to report. The Chinese People's Liberation Army has been seen invading an unidentified land called Equestria, a land filled with ponies and many other unique creatures. And here is a rare video of their work recorded by a Chinese soldier." The female reporter said.

Then, a video was seen playing on the TV screen and it showed some Chinese soldiers, swat, riot police armed with riot shields, batons, rubber bullet guns and tear gas launchers. And the Chinese soldiers armed with guns have been seen coercing some ponies, weird dragons, colourful bugs and eagles with a body of a lion, yaks and many other mysterious creatures to work which traumatized Charlie.

The video lasted for two minutes now and the TV showed the female reporter again.

"We have no idea why the Chinese are invading the land. Some of our other reporters questioned the Chinese government about their exertion, but they denied to answer because all informations are classified and our reporters were forced to leave. ABC news." The female reporter finished. Then the TV came to an advertising break.

"Oh my goodness, those poor things." Markus said with a dismayed expression "I wish I could help them but there's no way I can fight an entire army." He finished in a disconsolated tone.

"What do you mean you wish you could?" Charlie asked him.

When Markus heard his friend, he looked up at him and saw a self-assured expression on him which made him agitated.

"Oh no, I've seen that look on you before, don't you even dare-"

"I want to succour them." Charlie told him quietly.

When Markus heard this, he immediately banged his head on the table quietly three times. Then, he looked at him with an irked expression.

"Uggh! Your killing me." Markus said with an indignant expression.

"I have to try and assist them."

"Okay, but do you even have any idea on how the heck you can get over there?" Markus asked in a logical sense "It's not like you have some teleportation powers in you like doctor strange." He told him.

"Your sense is veracious." Charlie said with a nod, then he leaned close to his face "But, I can hack through their teleportation device they newly invented." He whispered to him.

"Oh come on! That is very illegal Charlie!" Markus mumbled in disbelief and anger"And how are you even gonna hack through their teleportation device?" He asked.

Charlie looked around the canteen for a moment and saw that everyone was very immersed in eating their lunch and talking which gave him a good chance on entering his private laboratory the teachers gave him last week because of his narly work. Then, he looked at his friend and said "Follow me."

Charlie then stood up from his seat and walked to his private laboratory on the fourth floor.

"Uggh, I hope this ends well." Markus said with a roll of his eyes. Then, he stood up and followed his friend to his private laboratory on the fourth floor.

Once Charlie and Markus have arrived at their private laboratory, Charlie opened the door and let him and Markus in. After that, Charlie flipped up a light switch on the left side near the door and the lights in the room were all on. Charlie then took off his backpack and grabbed his computer. He placed it on his working desk and turned it on. And once it was on, Charlie went on YouTube and clicked on the search bar. After that, he typed in 'China's teleportation invention' then he clicked enter and many videos of the teleportation machine were shown on the page. Then, Charlie clicked on one of the video and it showed the teleportation device. And finally, Charlie tapped onto his wrist computer and began to hack the teleportation device. But his friend Markus was feeling very apprehensive.

"Charlie, are you sure about this?" Markus asked "Because I don't want to go to jail for this illegal act, I don't even have a girlfriend yet!" He told him.

"It's okay, you don't have to come with me. I can handle this on my own." He assured him which made Markus sigh in relief.

"Thank goodness, and I thought that-"

Markus wasn't able to finish his sentence when Charlie's wrist computer made a noise. Charlie stood up and saw that he has successfully hacked into the teleportation device, and now his wrist computer showed him a bunch of cities in China like 'Guangzhou' 'Tianjin' 'Shanghai' 'Chongqing' 'Shenzhen' including the special administrative region Hong Kong. But the capital Beijing is unavailable which is perplexing.

"Yes, hacking process accomplished." Charlie said with a smile.

"Okay, so what's objective two?" He asked.

Charlie scrolled through the city options for a while and saw that one of the options showed a land called 'Equestria' and he must assume that the Chinese were there.

"Objective two, sneak into the land." He said as he clicked on the tag Equestria. And after he clicked on it, his wrist computer began to count down.

"Teleportation commencing in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five-"

"Hey Markus, remember to do well in the next few periods." Charlie told him.

"I will, and good luck with your journey." Markus told him, and Charlie replied with a nod.

"Four, three, two, one, zero."

When the countdown was completed, Charlie was teleported out of his laboratory which startled Markus.

"Whoa, where did he go?" Markus said observing his surroundings. But suddenly, the door behind him was opened and Markus saw miss Jessie the physics teacher.

"Markus, the bell is almost gonna go. So what are you doing here?" She asked him.

"Uh... um... I was watching some romance movies on Netflix?"

It was nighttime in Equestria, and Twilight Sparkle, Luster Dawn, Sunburst, Starlight, Spike, Lil Cheese, Pinkie Pie, Cheese Sandwich, Spike, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy were held prisoners in Twilight's castle while the others were held in the dungeons, and Discord is probably on vacation somewhere in another dimension. And the main reason why the mane six, Sunburst, Starlight, Lil Cheese, Cheese Sandwich and Spike were placed in the throne room was because there was not enough space for them in the dungeon. And the invaders have renovated Twilight's castle as a violent training facility for the invaders. And the dungeons and their cell were being guarded with heavily black colour armored invaders weilding what looks to be like round and rectangular plastic shields, black coloured sticks and what looks to be like metal weapons, almost similar to the green suited invaders ones, and the scene looked hopeless to Twilight and her friends.

The invaders also placed a suppressor ring on Twilight and Starlight's horn to prevent them from blasting or teleporting their way out

"This is no use, we are going to die." Rainbow Dash said with so much anxiety.

"Calm down Rainbow, we can figure out a way to escape." Twilight told her.

"How do you expect us to figure out a plan when those invaders have us imprisoned in your own castle?" Applejack asked in a logic sense "And even if we attempt to escape, the invaders would instantly kill us with their monstrous metal weapons." She told her.

Twilight was going to intervene but, an invader outside of her cell began to talk. And Twilight began to listen.

"Jiāngtàishùn, Wǒ yào qù shàngxiào de bàngōngshì, bàogào suǒyǒu shēngwù dōu yǐ bèi sòng huí qí láofáng. Érqiě nín rènwéi nín kěyǐ zài zhèlǐ jiānshì xiǎo mǎ ma? (Jiang Tai Shun, I'm gonna head to the colonel's office to report that all of the creatures have been sent back to their cells. And do you think that you can keep watch of the ponies in here?)" He asked his riot police colleague.

"Wǒ kěyǐ lǚxíng zhōufèngliáng de yìwù. (I can do that obligation Chow Feng Liang.)" Jiang nodded.

"Hǎo. (Good.)" Chow said with a proud smile. After that, he turned around and exited the throne room and walked to the colonel's office leaving Jiang alone to keep on watch of the ponies imprisoned in this throne room.

Twilight scrutinized the invader from head to toe and saw that it has a key stuck on it's belt. Twilight must assume that the key was for her and her friends cell.

"Guys, that invader has the key to our cell." Twilight said quietly.

"He does?" Sunburst asked and Twilight replied with a nod.

Starlight stepped forward and looked at the invader's belt and saw that it does indeed have a key. Probably for their cell. She then turned around and faced her friends and daughter Luster Dawn.

"That invader does indeed have a key on his belt." Starlight told them, and everyponies eyes widened.

"How are we going to get it?" Fluttershy asked.

Rainbow Dash looked down on her cell and saw that there was a small pebble on the floor, then she came up with a great plan.

"Girls, I have a plan." Rainbow Dash told them.

In the middle throne room, Jiang Tai Shun was casually guarding the throne room with a baton and round plastic riot shield equipped on him. But suddenly, something soft and sharp was thrown at the back of his head. Jiang turned around and looked down and saw that there was a pebble on the floor, he looked up and saw the ponies looking away from him like nothing happened. Jiang must've assumed that it one of the ponies in the cell threw that pebble at him, and he was infuriated. He dropped his baton and riot shield on the floor and pulled out his 9mm pistol from his holster. Then, he walked up to the cell and aimed his gun at them.

"Shéi zuò de?! (Who did that?!)" Jiang demanded while looking at all of the hypocrite ponies, but they all disregarded him "If none of you animals confront now I will open fi-"

Jiang wasn't able to finish his sentence when a lasso was tied onto his throat with made him grab it while gagging, and it was Applejack who grappled him with her lasso.

"Now Applejack!" Said Rainbow Dash.

Applejack nodded and pulled her lasso and the invader was bashed into the cell bars which instantly knocked him out and dropping the keys. Spike looked at the keys with a delightful smile. He then reached out for the keys and grabbed it with his right claw.

"Thank you for your generous offer." Spike joked. After that, he reached for the key hole on his left and stuck it in. And finally, his twisted the key and their titanium cell bars were lifted up and they were free.

"Woohoo! We are free!" Pinkie said hugging her daughter and husband.

"Not yet Pinkie, we still have to get through the others outside." Twilight told her which made Lil Cheese frown but Pinkie cheered her up with a nuzzle.

"Come on, we have to be cautious of any of the invaders when we slowly make our escape." Said Starlight and everypony nodded. Then all of them slowly began to approach the throne room doors

Once they got there, Twilight gently pressed her hoof on one of the doors and slowly pushed it opened. She looked on her left and right and saw that there were no invaders in the hallways. She looked back at her friends and said "Coast is clear." Then they proceeded onwards to escape the occupied castle, but unknown to them, there were security cameras installed everywhere.

In the security room, there is a soldier sitting on a wheelchair while reading a Newspaper about new shops and businesses in Mainland China. But, his reading was put to an end when one of his security monitors began alerting him by beeping.

*Beep! Beep! Beep!*

When the soldier heard the beeping noise, he dropped down his Newpaper and looked the monitors and saw that it was security monitor three alerting him. He looked at it and saw the ponies jailed from the throne room have escaped. Once he witnessed the dire situation, he tapped on a red button on the right side of the table and an alarm began to beep.

Twilight and her friends jumped when they heard an alarm beeping. They must've assumed that they have been spotted, then a sound has been heard.

"Jiējìn jǐngbào! Bǎozuò shàng de qiúfàn yǐjīng táotuōle! Fāsòng fùjìn de suǒyǒu dānwèi! (Proximity alert! The prisoners from the throne room have escaped! Send in all nearby units!)"

Twilight then doors on her left busting open. She looked at her left and saw five invaders in dark armor wielding plastic shields, black sticks and one was wielding a dark metal weapon which made Twilight's eyes widen in horror.

"Guys run!" Twilight exclaimed. Then she and her friends began to run.

"Chénwénliú! Kāi cuīlèi wǎsī! (Chen Wen Liu! Fire a tear gas!)"

"Luō jié nàgè zhōngwèi! (Roger that lieutenant!)" Chen said as he aimed his tear gas launcher up in front of them. He focused for a while then pulled the trigger.

*Pew!*

Then the tear gas canister flew up in the air for a moment then on the floor near them. Which made Twilight and her friends stop in their tracks, then they began to cough from the weird chemical smoke.

"What is this?" Rainbow Dash asked while coughing, her eyes were very hurt. Then, Flutterhsy collapsed on the floor from the gas.

"Fluttershy!" Spike said as he held her with his claws, then he placed her on his back.

Sunburst turned around and saw that the invaders were gaining up on them.

"Dǎbài tāmen! (Beta them up!)" One of the invaders yelled with his right hand swung back.

But before they could come in on them, Sunburst quickly activated his horn defending his friends, wife and daughter. And the invaders stumbled backwards and fell on the floor roughly with grunt.

"Great work Sunburst!" Twilight said. And Sunburst replied with a nod.

After that, Twilight and her friends ran through the hallways again.

They made a large amount left and right turns. But after running down the stairs, she and her friends reached the exit doors.

"Guys! We have made it!" Twilight told them.

"Yeehaw!" Applejacksaid with a smile.

But suddenly, an invader armed with a dark stick was blocking their path. He charged up to them with his right arm swung back and it attempted to hit them with his metal weapon. But then, he was met with a kick in the chest from Rainbow Dash and the invader was sent crashing into a wall.

"Nice work Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie said in a proud tone.

"Thank you."

Once Twilight and her friends have reached the front doors of the castle. Twilight placed her hooves on both of the doors and pushed them opened letting herself and her friends out. Then they began to run to the exit of Canterlot, but they were met with a new and petrifying challenge when three invaders ran up to the large balcony on the castle wielding long metal weapons.

"Jū jí shǒu! Zhíxíng tāmen! (Snipers! Execute them!)" Lietenant general Jin demanded.

"Luō jié nàgè zhōng jiàng! (Roger that Lieutenant General!)" One of the soldiers yelled.

Then, the three soldiers looked through their scopes on their sniper rifle and placed their right finger on the trigger. They focused on their targets and pulled the triggers.

*BANG! BANG! BANG!*

Twilight and her friends began to zig zag when they felt some loud banging noises from the aliens weapons.

"Guys! Run faster!" Twilight yelled. Then she and her friends began to pick up the pace to the exit of Canterlot.

One of the soldier's was locked onto Twilight Sparkle.

"Zhǔnbèi yíngjiē mìngyùn de mù guāng zhī chéng gōngzhǔ. (Prepare to meet your fate Princess Twilight Sparkle.)" The soldier said in a cold tone. Then he pulled the trigger.

*BANG!*

Once the shot was fired, the bullet flew out of the detachable muzzle brake. And towards Twilight Sparkle. Then she was hit in the chest.

"Auughh!" Twilight yelled in pain as she fell on the floor.

Her friends turned around and looked at her with a traumatized expression.

"Twilight!"

"Shì de rènwéi nǐ shìgè qiáng de gōngzhǔ!(Yeah! Take that you temerarious Princess!)" The soldier cheered along with his colleagues.

Spike ran up to Twilight and lifted her up on his shoulder then he began to run along with his friends.

"Come on guys! We have to hide in Ponyville and treat Twilight there as well!" Spike told them and his friends nodded in unison.

"Let's hide in sugar cube corner." Pinkie counselled.

The snipers fired more shots at the fleeing ponies and dragon but every shots they fired, the escaping ponies and dragon kept avoiding them by zig zagging.

After running for a few more seconds. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Flutterhsy, Cheese Sandwich, Lil Cheese, Starlight, Sunburst, Luster Dawn, Spike and Rarity have safely made it out of Canterlot which made the three snipers anxious. Then their lieutenant General called them through their walkie talkies.

"Nǐmen shāle tāmen ma? (Did you guys killed them?)"

One of the soldiers slowly raised his walkie talkie and held it near his mouth. Then he began to send a reply back.

"Duìbùqǐ, xiānshēng, tāmen táozǒule. (Sorry sir, they escaped.)" The soldier told him. Then an enraged reply was sent back.

"Gāisǐ de! Nǐmen shènzhì shì zěnme shèfǎ ràng nàxiē cuìruò hé xié'è de shēngwù táotuōle? A! Méiguānxì, lái dào huìyì shì jìn háng huìbào, ránhòu wǒmen kěyǐ xúnzhǎo táoyì de táofàn. (Damn it! How did you guys even manage to let those fragile and vile creatures escape?! Ugh! Nevermind, come to the meeting room for a debrief, then we can search for the escaped fugitives.)" Lieutenant General Jin An Rong told them.

"Luō jié nàgè zhōng jiàng. (Roger that Lieutenant General.)" The soldier replied back. After that, he tucked his walkie talkie back in his belt and faced his colleagues.

"Bàituōle huǒjìmen. Wǒmen bìxū qù huìyì shì jìn háng huìbào. (Come on guys. We have to go to the meeting room for a debrief.)" He told them.

"Hǎo de. (Okay.)" One of the soldiers said as he stood up with his colleague. After that, the three of them walked to the meeting room for a debrief.
