A manhunt goes wrong which sends a specialized private military unit to the peaceful realm of Equestria.

Every one does a human into Equestria, why not genetically engineered ponies and human in Equestria.

this story involves two genetically engineered alicorns created in a government lab who then escape and are found by a police officer who decides to raise them as his own kids. Together they find themselves stuck in Equestria with no knowledge.

When an old enemy and a new enemy seek revenge, it’s up to them to stop the
incoming threat.

FYI I put gore just in case I get carried away lol. Also due to there being guns, obviously.

A rather unusual family

Inside a nice expensive penthouse in the state of California, a suited man with brown hair was eating a sandwich. He was talking to a bearded man wearing a leather Stetson, a belt buckle with a texas longhorn engraved on it.

“You called me, sir?” Wrapping up his food, he sat the sandwich on a plate.

“Yes I did, I need you to initiate Project Delta, one of my most valuable masterpieces.”

The bearded man looked to the side and looked forward again, processing his boss’s words.

“You do know we are talking about a living and breathing creature, not a weapon.”

Chuckling, the suited man turned his attention to security footage and changed it to a lab where people looked inside of a machine and pressed buttons, Inside lay a small equine figure as needles poked into its body. The bearded man’s gaze drifted down to his cowboy boots as the recorded footage ensued.

“You see”.

“project Delta and project Charlie are nothing more than experimental weapons.”

“They belong to the government and belong to me.”

“I am just letting that ex-cop learn to harness my weapons so that Project Delta and Charlie will obey orders from other agents.”

“You never decided to tell the guy?”

“Do you honestly think I care about their relationship?”

“He may play the role as their father, but I don’t see it that way.”

The greedy man turned off the recording and faced the other man who was keeping a straight face.

“I want my private unit ready to capture a troublemaker of the government.”

“as not just the CEO but as a professional statesman, I shall see that any threats and problems that come my way shall be terminated with force.”

Said CEO looked at the agent, waiting to hear his words. Unsure on how to reply to his boss’s dark and murderous ways, he took time to compose himself before replying.

“What about doctor Amanda, she has been creating something similar.”

“Ah yes, my top valued scientist.”

“If she succeeds in making this formidable weapon, I might just have to terminate project Delta and project Charlie.”

Gulping, the agent nodded and decided to end the unpleasant conversation. “I’ll get them ready, who are they going after, sir?”

The CEO’s gaze was directed towards a screen of major criminals that were given to the statesman for termination.

“I don’t know yet, I will contact you when I decide.”

“If I hear that the science team has created a better and more useful weapon, I will find a solution to terminate the ghost unit.”

“the same goes for project Delta and project Charlie.”

Somberly nodding the agent made his leave, his mind constantly trying to find an alternative to save his old friends. How am I gonna explain this to y’all, I have to come clean eventually.

In a two-story house, a man with blonde hair wearing sports shades made his way to a room, a sign read, go away, in bold italic lettering. Sighing in annoyance, the man knocked twice.

“It’s your dad, I just got a call from the DoD, I’d hate to be late, we don’t have a choice, Delta.”

The sound of rock and roll ceased and the door opened to reveal not a human but a citrus orange equine with a sky blue mane that flowed like a slow stream of water.

Two wings protruded from her back, a spiraling horn on her forehead. Her emerald green eyes stared at her father figure, a name tag on the man’s jet black uniform that read, Jake Garson.

“Dad, can I at least have one day, one day, to be a normal teenager?”

Jake hesitated yet he chose his words wisely. “It’s not my call, that’s the government’s call, they created you.”

“Dad, we never have caught the guy responsible for hacking into the nuclear warheads.”

“what makes anyone think we can catch Dr. Dìaz.”

Checking his watch, Jake motioned his daughter to get ready.

“I find it odd that a winged unicorn and a human work for a private security company.” Nodding his head, Jake started packing breakfast for the road.

In a flash, a large Doberman in a ballerina outfit ran past the two and tried to tear off the clothes, Crouching down, Jake went to undress the large dog, the name tag read Blade.

“Here you go, big fella.”

Hooves on wood could be heard as a small filly, similar to the eldest with kiwi green fur and a scarlet mane came forward, a large medical cross on her chest and flanks.

“Doggy wants more makeovers!”

“Hey, Charlie, we talked about this, some dogs aren’t okay with dress up.”

“Okay, dad.” Feeling a twinge of guilt, Jake decided to make it up to Charlie.

“We can get some donuts on the way.”

Charlie cheered up and began to jump up and down chanting “donuts”. After some time of packing and getting ready, they climbed into an SUV and headed down a dirt driveway before driving onto the road.

The same suited man waited near a parking lot, using his leather stetson to cool himself down due to the intense heat of the sun hammering down upon him.

“Sweet molasses, wear are they.”

Checking his watch after placing his hat back onto his head, the SUV pulled into a lot next to him as the occupants got out. The man made his way over with a sly smirk plastered on his bearded face, his custom-made revolver shaking in his holster as he strolled up to the group.

“Long time no see, how long has it been.”

The man did the math to everyone’s displeasure.

“I say it’s been about three years, but hey, you're here.”

“Any idea who we are going after, joe?”

The aging man, now known as Joe, their boss, got a text on his phone and he gazed at the device for a bit before returning his attention towards the group with a grave face.

“You all are unfortunately going after Dr. Marco Dìaz.”

The group’s faces had fallen at the prospect of going on a manhunt for the insane Dr. Dìaz. The man was known to hack into weapon facilities and had a reputation to try and hack nuclear rockets.

With not much else to do, Jake and his family headed towards a large number of tents and personnel checking equipment. After a while of gearing up, a geared-up man handed Jake a semi-automatic weapon and spare magazines.

“Sup Boss.”

Running ahead of Jake and Delta, his boots making contact with the wet tarmac.

“Wheels up.”

They approach a group of utility helicopters marked, “security company”. They boarded one of the helicopters, similar guys dressed in black tactical gear awaited, including a man with a burnt face.

They situated themselves as Jake strapped in the dog who now adorned a Bulletproof vest. While the helicopter got ready for the flight, Jake Garson thought back on the day when he rescued Delta and Charlie.

Flashback

___________________________________

It was a long day at work, he was heading home until someone darted in front of the car. Unholstering his Glock, he opened the cruiser door, the cool air assaulted his worried face.

Not wanting to frighten an injured person, he decided to go easy on whoever, Shining his flashlight towards the figure who was coughing up blood. Once the light made contact with the figure, Jake nearly dropped his flashlight in shock.

A unicorn adorning both wings and a horn backed away from him in fright. The startled cop looked towards his cruiser yet still kept his focus on the otherworldly being in front of him.

Jake didn’t fear the diminutive young equine, he only was curious at its unusual features. Reaching for his police radio, he was going to report this odd anomaly yet he decided against it.

Two black helicopters flew around in the distance, searchlights showering the mountains and forests with light, causing the filly to cry. Feeling something was wrong and he had to correct it, he took the filly home with him, deciding to raise her as his daughter once he realized she could speak fluent English.

Years went by and young Delta, given the name of a brand on her flank, grew slowly and began to thrive in her new environment. Jake, when not on duty, would look up anything related to Delta. After some research, he found out that the government was creating a war game-changer called “project: Delta” a similar setup was called “project: Charlie.”

Whenever he looked into it more, the internet wouldn’t allow it.

It was on her sixteenth birthday, the house was surrounded by military and federal personnel, demanding they would confiscate everything, and the two would be taken away without a trace.

Fired by the police department, Jake was going to be sentenced for the rest of his life behind bars for hiding a government experiment. Joe Smith, a secret agent and a recruiter of Killborne security, which was owned by the CEO, Rick Miller.

Joe offered a way that he could be reunited with Delta and could have a license to keep both Delta and her recently developed and genetically engineered sister, Charlie.

Agreeing to this, Together, they became Death’s employees, the death squad, not the one that you would know, they worked as a squad that hunted down the most dangerous and world-ending criminals, eliminating them with no mercy.

“where are we headed, Delta?” The scarred man asked with a heavy Australian accent.

“Arizona. You’ve been there, you've seen it all, nothing more nothing less.”

“We are Oscar Mike.”

The helicopter’s gear left the ground as the chopper gradually gained speed, flying low over a grassy field, wide mountain ranges in the distance.

Author's Note

Hope this new human in Equestria idea is to your liking. I’m glad I still have the notebook I used to write this story in the hospital or this story wouldn’t exist.

Unknown forest

The helicopter flew over the deserts of Arizona, all that could be seen for miles was sand, little vegetation, and large mountains. Delta looked out the cargo door of the helicopter at the sandy plains of Arizona while humming to herself.

The ride was starting to get to her as she used her magnetic levitation from her horn to pull out her phone and immediately got on Facebook.

Her horn could do all sorts of things, such as levitation, she could levitate extremely heavy objects, metal or not, as she had the physical strength of an elephant.

Her bones were as strong and durable as titanium. She had so many attributes it scared everyone who had ever met her, fearing what she’d do if she were enraged and became violent. Luckily she was a big softy on the inside yet she was a soldier on the outside.

While using her phone, she got a text message from her boss’s boss.

“Hope you enjoy the vortex to Equestria, my dear.”

“love from your mother and creator, queen… I mean, Rick Miller.”

Confused at the message, she couldn’t think about it for long as alarms started screaming throughout the chopper.

“What is going on up there?”

The co-pilot was the first to respond to Jake’s questions as the helicopter began to rattle.

“Some kinda translucent vortex is forming in the air, any ideas how this is happening, sir?”

Jake told Delta to look for said vortex and her face melted into pure fear as an enormous hole in the sky began to suck up everything close to it.

“Get us out of here!” Screamed Delta as the green and black void grew in size.

“The helicopter is getting pulled in, brace yourselves for a rough ride!”

The alarms in the helicopter intensified to the point Delta and Charlie’s ears started bleeding. Delta looked out the door and saw they were above a large, vast forest with mountains in the distance.

The helicopter’s rotors started slowing down and the ground became a lot closer than they all could have imagined.

“I’m losing control, I have no control.”

The helicopter started spinning due to the loss of the tail rotor.

“Everyone, brace for a hard and unpleasant landing!” Said the pilot as the helicopter bounced a few times on the forest floor, shredding the landing gear clean off along with the blades.

After a violent crash landing, the team disembarked and looked around, stretching their bodies due to the intense treatment.

“Where the heck are we, this sure ain’t Kansas nor Arizona,” a man asked, scanning the area with his weapon.

Sighing, Jake walked over to the group of men and the two equines.

Charlie put her hoof on one of the dead pilot's chest. A green glow engulfed her body and the lime green medical cross on her flanks as the pilot’s wounds healed, unfortunately, the pilot didn’t wake up, Charlie could only hang her head in sorrow.

The second pilot had a tree branch sticking out of his chest, blood and entrails stained said branch.

All Jake could do was walk over to the group, his gaze was of a man who had seen it all.

“We are doing some recon on the area…” Jake stopped and listened as a twig snapped in the foliage.

“Did anyone make that sound?”

The men all shook their heads, the forest becoming dead silent.

That’s odd, the critters ain’t making any noise,” said the man with the burnt face.

What kinda predators do you think live here? Said another man.

Green eyes were seen in the darker parts of the forest, surrounding their position. The first to step out of the bushes was something that the team had never seen

Jake’s POV

I was not sure what I was seeing. It was a wolf made entirely out of wood, it had glowing enchanted green eyes that pierced my soul. My men took defensive positions, checking each side.

Takes more than a bunch of firewood to kill me! Said the scarred man.

More of these beasts emerged from the brush as the leader charged. Bringing up my rifle, I blocked the first attack but fell over, the wolf’s jaws inches away from grabbing my face.

A high-energy blast hit the wolf in the face, causing the wolf to turn its attention towards Delta, six hundred volts of electricity coursing through her horn.

I pulled out my Glock and shot the beast in its rib cage as it gagged and exploded into a pile of splinters. Holstering my gun, I saw that the team had downed all the wolves.

Before I could say anything, the sticks from these wolves began to float in the air along with nearby trees, sticks, and roots. After a while of staring in horror, a massive thirty-foot beast stood tall and proud over us.

The beast immediately clamped its jaws around a man, his blood-covered spinal cord and inners from the waist down were destroyed. The rest of the men open fire on the massive wooden canine.

Me, Delta, Charlie, and the dog decided to get the heck out of dodge as we were now running for our lives.

“Dad, what was that thing?!” Delta yelled to me as we dashed through the seemingly endless forest.

“I don’t know, but we don’t have the weapons to fight that beast.”

“I’m not losing the only family I have, not now, not ever”.

The screaming and gunfire had ceased as we approached a clearing, the forest surrounding it from all sides.

It was sunset and I decided to settle here, I placed the radio that I salvaged from the wreckage on the glistening fresh grass, I told the girls to find a good soft place to lay down.

Honestly, I have slept in worse places, but I knew nothing could sneak up on us with Blade on guard. Calling blade over, the large dog made his way over to me as we both walked over to the edge of the forest.

I gathered everything we would need to make it through the night. Before I could leave, the bushes began to shake. I drew my pistol once again and the same man with the scarred face came forth, clutching his chest as I saw he was bleeding.

I immediately got out my first aid kit from my small portable backpack and told the man who was named Matt Burg, to take a seat where the camp was. He declined help saying he could make it there himself.

His attitude was very stoic and had a strict demeanor. He made himself comfortable as he treated himself as he was very independent. Saying the only person he could trust was himself, I wonder if it would ever change.

“So, how did you get into all this?” I said, gesturing to the emblem of a skull and crossbones on his tactical vest. He unsheathed one of his twin katanas from his back, cutting up a chicken with a lizard tail and leather wings.

I’m the Chief of the airbase you were stationed at. He began to roast the chicken, that’s what I assumed it was. Those two horses, are they your friends or something? Burg asked as he took a bite of his meal.

I thought hard about his question, I loved both of them and all, but should I tell Matt that they are my adopted daughters?

“Well, I’m not sure what species they are exactly, but they are my kids.”

Burg looked at me with an unamused face. He seemed to have given up on the idea of me being a parent to two equines. I decided it was time for me to hit the sack. I had a spare sleeping bag in case Burg wanted to sleep.

Boss, you wanna sleep?

“I’m the head of the base, below the CEO, I’m not in charge of you.”

“I’d rather stay awake, make sure nothing tries to get the jump on us.”

I didn’t argue any further as I sat my rifle next to my sleeping bag. Night had finally fallen as I tucked myself in, my sidearm still strapped to my hip. Sure it’s sort of uncomfortable but it keeps me safe. Looking over, I saw my daughters sound asleep. Following their example, i laid my head back and found my self embracing sleep.

First contact

Before the attack in the Everfree.

Location: Canterlot castle

The door to the royal balcony was opened by the solar princess herself as she looked across her magical kingdom of Equestria. It’s once again a marvelous evening. Celestia took a sip of tea and sat the cup on a nearby table as she began to channel her magic into her horn.

The sun began to set ever so slightly, enough to make one think it was setting on its own accord. While setting the sun, Celestia felt like something was off. It started as a stinging feeling but Immediately turned into a major migraine. She stumbled to the floor, her focus no longer on the task at hoof.

After a while, she got back onto her hooves and looked out into the sunset, her eyes squinting, trying to find anything out of the ordinary.

“This hasn’t happened in a long time, I must tell Twilight about this.” Once back inside, she Headed over to her desk, the fire creating light and a warm glow in the room she stood in, she pulled out a parchment, quill, and ink. She began to write on the paper after dipping the quill in the glass of ink.

“Dear Twilight Sparkle, I have recently felt two major disturbances deep within the Everfree forest. I need you and your friends to investigate, I have picked up powerful changeling magic, I will be sending a few of my best guards for your safety, be careful, from your mentor, Princess Celestia.” Wrapping up the message, she teleported it towards the quaint little town of Ponyville.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Twilight and her friends were in the castle of friendship, all bored of having no missions since the defeat of Chrysalis and the rise of Thorax.

“Man, can’t things be more fun around here,” Rainbow Dash grumbled while flying in circles, trying to relieve herself from boredom.

“Come on, RD, it’s better than being trapped in that green goop,” said Applejack, playing with her stetson.

“Hey, I meant to get captured, I had a plan to get out of there.”

Leaning up to Rainbow, Applejack smiled mischievously.

“Oh, and what was your plan exactly, Rainbow?”

Rainbow Dash started to stutter on her words while Applejack’s smile only grew.

“Fine, I didn’t have a plan, but I could still fight with both my hooves behind my back.”

“Honestly, is fighting all you two can think of, why not a more cheerful subject,” Rarity said from behind, making her way to her designated seat.

Before Rainbow Dash or Applejack could retort, Twilight ran in with a scroll in her telekinesis.

“Whatcha got there, Twi?” Asked Applejack.

“I don’t know, Applejack, the princess just sent me this only a few minutes ago.”

Twilight unwrapped the scroll and began to read.

“Dear Twilight Sparkle, I have recently felt two major disturbances deep within the Everfree forest.

I need you and your friends to investigate, I have picked up powerful changeling magic, I will be sending a few of my best guards for your safety, be careful, from your mentor, Princess Celestia.”

The six looked at each other before Rainbow flew into the air and fist pumped. “Yes, we finally get some action.” Um, do we have to go into the Everfree forest, at night no less. Not to worry, Flutters, you can speak to the animals and we can get to whatever the princess wants us to find. Rainbow is right, we can make it through if we all go, we have the Elements with us. Well, if you insist, I guess I’ll go, if that’s okay with you. I really dislike that forest, but I really need to get a batch of flowers for a dress. Rarity levitated a picture of a dress in development. Alright, let’s go.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It was still night as the six wandered through the deep Everfree forest, the sounds of forest critters were everywhere. Twilight led the group, her horn glowing a vibrant pink. She was using one of her tracking spells to find anything out of the ordinary.

“So, twilight, how do you know this isn’t some kind of animal of the forest?” Rainbow said while flying over the group.

Twilight rolled her eyes and returned her question.

“Because, the princess wouldn’t lie to us about an emergency like this.”

“Oh come on, Dash, where’s your sense of adventure?” Applejack playfully nudged her rainbow friend.

“Hey, it’s here,” rainbow pointed to her chest.

I just don’t like going out in the Everfree forest that much.”

“I do agree with Rainbow Dash, this is a very… icky forest,” Rarity complained as she walked into a pile of mud.”

“Girls, quiet, I think we are getting close”.

After shushing the group, Twilight motioned everypony to follow her lead. Silently making their way through the bushes, they came upon a gruesome scene. Dead bodies were everywhere, so mutilated that their species couldn’t be identified.

The group gasped in shock as they saw the carnage. Dead bodies of timberwolves also littered the ground along with strange pellets of unknown origin. Immediately Fluttershy started crying at the sight of not the human bodies, but the Timberwolf carcasses.

“Who could do such a thing to these poor creatures.”

Rainbow shot into the air, looking at the carnage along with her friends. A pit of rage started to boil in her stomach after seeing her friend break down into tears.

“Well, whoever did it, I’m going to show them what happens when you make my friends cry!”

We should really keep moving, said twilight, who did her best to ignore Rainbow’s wrath.

“Before we left, I got a second message from the princess saying she wants whatever we catch to be brought to Canterlot for further questioning.”

Nodding, the group set out, not knowing how difficult it would be to bring them back.

A pair of blue eyes in the shadows watched the six ponies depart as an insect-like creature with black chitin, purple wings, and a horn emerged from the brush. It looked both ways before pulling out a Samsung phone.

“Your majesty, it’s me, the six ponies are planning on bringing your test experiments to Canterlot.”

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rick Miller sat in his chair while sucking on a lollipop. A group of private military contractors stood in front of him.

“Is that so?”

“Of course Celestia would do something like this.”

The changeling on the other side of the phone watched the six disappear into the foliage.

“So, what should I do now?”

The man was engulfed In a blinding green light. His hands became hooves with holes similar to Swiss cheese. His body began to morph into a quadrupedal creature. Sharp teeth replaced his human teeth as a new creature in the same business suit walked up to the guards, who now looked the same as the changeling drone in the forest, all had assault rifles.

“Building my new hive in this magnificent world teeming with tasty emotions, I could live within the government for an eternity.”

“I do not plan on returning to Equestria as I feel at home here.”

The changeling on the phone was worried his Queen would never return.

“But queen Chrysalis, what about the other Changelings that still follow you?”

“I will make another portal so the rest of you can join me, with my weapons inside of Equestria, they can cause the destruction, I will return in a matter of years when I retire.”

The changeling said his goodbyes as he hung up and flew away.

Chrysalis hung up on her end of the phone and turned to a camera feed, looking at her private air base that was stationed in the countryside of California. She transformed into her human form and grabbed a remote and the entire air base was engulfed in green flames as it disappeared off the map.

“I’d like to see you deal with this, Celestia”.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The sun immediately rose into its rightful position and it bugged the heck out of the sleeping trio. Jake was the first one to wake up, getting to his feet, he saw that everything wasn’t a dream after all since they were still stuck in the clearing.

Blade walked over and started licking Delta’s face as she tried to ignore the excited dog. Having enough, she had no choice but to wake up. The sunlight hit the now awake team’s eyes, well, the ones who weren’t eaten.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Jake’s POV

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I was still getting used to this new night and day cycle, and I probably won’t get used to it no matter what I do. I saw Matt working on that radio, his face full of concentration as he pressed buttons and tried signaling any nearby aircraft or ground units.

“Work work work work, for the love of god, would you work!!!”

My eyes went a bit wide at his sudden outburst but I didn’t pay much mind to it. My stomach began to alert me of my need for food. I scolded myself for not asking Matt for some of that chicken he was cooking. Seeing my youngest up, Charlie walked up to me. She only came up to my waist while Delta came up to my chest.

“Um, dad, what’s for breakfast?”

The girls' diets consisted of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and meat. They can eat meat due to the small unnoticeable canines and the grinding teeth in the back part of their mouths making them more predator than prey, to put it simply, they were omnivores. They share the DNA of humans, that's how they can speak like human beings.

I knew we had to eat something so I told Matt to watch the girls while I go hunt for something to eat. I don’t have a hunting license but this was for survival, and being in another world entirely.

Making my way deeper into the forest, I saw various creatures scamper into the bushes, no doubt running from me. I trekked through the forest until I came to a tree line.

“Is that… a house?”.

I stared in utter disbelief as there right in front of me was indeed a small house, or cottage with animals all around it. I decided to take a closer look as I silently broke out of cover to inspect this odd cottage.

Moss covered the place and many birds and other critters scattered at the sight of me. I walked up to the door and I immediately knew someone resided here. Extending my arm, I knocked once. I waited for a while but no one answered, I knocked twice…. No answer. I may not be a guy to give up so easily, but I can make exceptions.

As I was about to knock for the third time, two big helicopters soared overhead. It seemed they were headed to base camp. Abandoning all thoughts on trying to make contact, I ran towards the direction the two choppers went. I know i didn’t get any food but at least we could get food once the helicopters take us back to wherever they came from, it was a win win.

Once there, two helicopters of Killborne security laid on the grass. Matt walked up to me and told me what was going on.

“So what’s happening, Burg?”

“Let’s just say the base we were stationed at recently was engulfed in green flames, similar to that vortex we saw.”

Jake’s mind: “another vortex, something is definitely up.”

“To make a long story short, you work for me since we have officially lost contact with my boss.”

“Uh… okay, cool beans, boss.” I replied, unsure about this whole vortex thing.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

End of POV

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Seeing nothing could go wrong at this moment, Jake decided to get ready for the ride until Blade started barking at the forest behind us.

“What’s up with him?” Asked Matt, now focused on the dog rather than the helicopter.

“I don’t know, but I’m going to check it out.”

“Be careful, that one wooden wolf killed the entire team, who knows what other hell spawned beasts inhabit this forest.” Burg warned me, getting ready for the flight back to the air base.

Now at a reasonable distance, Jake held up his rifle, scanning the foliage with his weapon as he flicked the safety off.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

End of Jake’s POV.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Matt was talking to the pilots while keeping an eye on the two equines next to the second helicopter. He didn’t really trust them, seeing that they could completely annihilate him in an instant, he kept peering to the side so they didn’t make a move.

The smallest was just preening her feathers while the oldest fidgeted with her Kevlar vest, adjusting her equipment. Seeing they were both occupied, he continued the chat with the helicopter crew.

He was cut off when a few gunshots were fired as Jake was flung right into the first helicopter’s hull, knocking him out cold.

“Daddy!” Screamed Charlie as she ran up to him, placing her hooves on his forehead as to stop the flow of blood traveling down his head.

“Delta, I need you to check his head for any injuries?” Said Charlie as Delta ran up to Jake.

Delta’s irises changed from their vibrant green to a cold white as she stared at her father with great intensity. She saw a fractured skull, it wasn’t very bad but if not treated could have terrible results.

“He has a fractured skull, it isn’t horrible but we need to get it treated,” said Delta, worried for her father’s well being.

Charlie had the ability to heal bullet wounds and other minor injuries due to having the DNA of the African spiny mouse. Despite her healing factor that can affect others around her, making Charlie a remarkable medic, she could not heal injuries such as Jake’s.

A group of six ponies and a few armored ones came out of the forest to their right.

The pilots and Burg took out their weapons and aimed them at the advancing group.

“That’s for making my friend cry you monsters!” Said a cyan rainbow maned Pegasus.

Turning her head towards the Pegasus who attacked Jake, Delta’s vision was no longer clear, her vision was blood red, the rage she felt towards the cyan Pegasus was far greater than a thousand suns.

“Hold your fire!” Yelled Delta as she slowly made her way towards the group, the dog following suit, showing his large teeth.

The helicopter crew didn’t want to listen to her but Matt decided to follow along, telling the pilots to do so.

“Stand down, all of you.”

The pilots and crew knew not to disobey a direct order and did as told, holstering their sidearms. Only meters from the unknown hostiles, delta came to a stop. Nowhere near the size of the princesses, she still made some of the smaller ponies' knees shake.

“Give me a reason why I shouldn’t incinerate you on the spot!” Spat Delta, closing the distance between her and the cyan Pegasus.

The Pegasus had to slightly look up at Delta and to be honest, she felt rather intimidated in front of this unknown Alicorn, seeing that she could make that threat come true. Applejack came to her aid which made Delta take a step back, alarmed by Aj’s sudden and quick approach.

“I don’t know who you are, but no one talks to mah friend like that, ya hear?”

One of the guards saw that things were getting heated and told the others to head back into the forest and flank each side of the aircrafts and have their crossbows loaded with non-lethal rounds aimed at Burg, the pilots, Blade, and Delta. After a while of standing around, the guards in the forest attacked.

“Fire!” The lead guard yelled as the others shot the group and the dog who all went unconscious.

One by one, the armored ponies began to drag the unconscious humans, dog, and pony to a chariot that was brought down by two Pegasus guards. One of the medics, a mare, which was a rare occurrence in the guard, even in the medical unit, saw Charlie hiding behind the unconscious body of Jake.

She slowly came over to the young filly who backed up, pressing herself against the helicopter’s cargo door, whimpering in fear. The mare’s heart ached at the sight, knowing how scared the filly must have been. Keeping her distance she tried to get Charlie to come with her.

“Corporal Sunny Shield, we’re waiting for you,” said the commander, out of patience.

“Sorry sir, Just give me a second and I will be with you in a minute, sir”, She replied, turning her attention back to the terrified filly.

“It’s okay, sweetie, I’m not going to hurt you, I only want to help you, will you let me help you?”

Charlie’s eyes were the size of pinpricks, her breathing became labored but as she stared into Sunny Shield’s deep sapphire eyes, she realized she meant no harm to her.

Charlie slowly shuffled towards her, flinching once and awhile until she closed the distance between each other.

“There you go, see, I’m not going to hurt you,” Sunny Shield whispered, shushing Charlie who walked next to her as they strolled up to the chariot.

“Hey, got yourself a little friend there, Sunny?” Mocked a guard.

Sunny gave a slight glare to the Private who kept chuckling as the two hopped into the chariot, Charlie didn’t say a word, as she sat with the rest of the ponies, unicorns walked up to the helicopters levitated them into the air as they disappeared along with the unicorns.

“Where are we going?” Asked Charlie, still worried about everything.

Sunny Shield pointed to the mountain distance. Charlie zoomed in on the mountain and saw something that boggled her mind.

“Is that a city”

Author's Note

Finally, that chapter is finished, I hope you enjoyed it because I will be creating another chapter… at some point, I’m a busy guy, I got a lot of things going on in life, remember that. I love comments so leave one down below because it helps me become a better writer, I’m mainly a drawer but I recently started writing.

Canterlot

Walking down the halls of Canterlot hospital, princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess twilight conversed on the situation at hand and the new creatures along with two alicorns that were knocked unconscious and brought to Canterlot.

“This is a serious matter, alicorns only occur when an alicorn pairs with another alicorn, or in some cases, a regular pony such as Flurry heart.” Said Celestia, thinking of any other possibilities on how two alicorns could have randomly shown up.

“And what about those two large machines that were brought here as well?” asked luna.

Celestia went silent, staring into space, She stayed silent for a while.

“I don’t know what they are nor what they look like, but I believe we are going to find out soon enough,” said Celestia.

“So, what now?” Asked Twilight as she wanted to know more about them as expected from her.

“I want you to study these creatures so we know more about their species.”

They came upon a door, a window next to it, occupants inside which consisted of Matt, Delta, Charlie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and the four pilots.

Celestia’s eyes grew as wide as dinner plates, as she backed up and stumbled to the ground, Luna helped her onto her hooves.

“Sister, are you okay?!”

Celestia didn’t answer, only nodding, still startled by the group of human’s appearances.

Twilight was worried, she had never seen her mentor that scared since Tirek returned, something was wrong, never was the royal poker face broken that easily. Especially by strange unknown creatures that Equestria had never seen before, or were they.

Inside the containment room.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash was beyond impatient, she wanted answers and would get them in any way possible. All Matt could do was give her an unamused gaze, his left eyebrow raised.

“So, you think you're so tough, big guy?”

Her glare intensified to the point Matt nearly chuckled.

“I bet I could beat you in an arm wrestle in ten minutes flat,” Boasted Rainbow, giving Matt the stink eye.

Matt kept his gaze on the Pegasus, not impressed at the slightest.

“I bet you couldn’t make it to the nearest medical center after your arm had been riddled with holes,” said Matt, rolling up his right sleeve and showing his arm with small yet noticeable scars.

“Whoa,” rainbow muttered but regained her composure.

“Yeah, big deal, I survived getting stuck in Ghastly Gorge after getting caught in a rockslide.”

Matt only scoffed while rolling his eyes.

“Survived weeks while stranded in the deserts of Afghanistan!” His teeth were clenched at this point, there was only room for one badass, and that was him.

Dash’s eye twitched ever so slightly.

“Oh yeah, I fought a dragon and won!” Rainbow lied.

“Wrestled a giant grizzly bear, with just my bare hands!!!” Matt screamed.

While Matt and Rainbow Dash shouted at each other, Delta was fidgeting in her seat, she was sick of their bantering. Charlie on the other hand was trying to make herself look smaller as she never liked fighting to begin with.

Rainbow Dash slammed her hoof onto the table, now on her final straw.

“That’s it, you wanna go, old man?”

“Bring it, little horse!” Matt growled.

“Enough!!!” Screamed Delta as the room shook.

“Can the both of you just agree on something you are good at and stop this fighting, it’s irritating me.”

The room was dead silent and everyone was worried about suffering Delta’s wrath. Delta was no longer happy, she was a loaded gun, ready to unleash her fury on anyone who dared defy her authority in the room, not like she had any authority to begin with.

Being a lab-created alicorn with nearly every biological trait of every living creature, she had enough strength to back up her words. Sure humans never knew she was called an alicorn and that they were commonly seen as royalty, so they just assumed she was a horse, Pegasus, a unicorn with wings, etc.

But Deep down, Delta never wanted to fight as much as she was intended for biowarfare. She secretly practiced playing instruments in her spare time, most were electronic stringed instruments such as the electric cello and the electric guitar.

She never could find anyone to play with nor teach her the things she didn’t know. But that wasn’t important to her at the moment, figuring out where her father was was more important. Delta began to use her ability of echolocation by humming to herself, even though everyone else could hear her. The walls began to vibrate and lights flickered as her humming intensified.

Having the DNA of whales, her humming could rattle a small house or area as she could get a sonar picture in her mind as to where her dad was being held.

Jake’s POV

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

*Beep* *beep* *beep*

My vision was blurry and my head felt numb as I kept hearing this annoying beeping noise that oddly sounded like a heart monitor. I finally got a view of my surroundings and I was indeed in a hospital room. Looking down, I noticed I was still in my black armor, and noticed my weapons were on a counter.

“Why would they bring them into a hospital?” I thought, after all, it was quite odd.

Taking out an IV in my arm, I was wondering where my kids and Burg were, as footsteps that oddly sounded like those of a horse’s hooves approached my door. I was shocked to see creatures that greatly resembled my girls enter. Two others followed, one wearing a stereotypical doctors outfit, if the lab coat and the stethoscope were anything to go by.

The second small one, a bit shorter than the doctor who instead of having chestnut brown fur and a black mane, she had turquoise fur and a seafoam mane with a smaller muzzle wearing a nurse's cap.

“Was I taken back to base, if so, what kind of drugs am I on?”

“Thank you, Dr. Crest, we will take things from here,” said the alabaster Pegacorn in a very smooth and motherly tone of voice.

She was the first to approach me, her radiant flowing mane, similar to Delta and Charlie’s mane, and her regal look told me she was definitely an important person. There was something else, she had an air of power around her, the same with the dark blue Pegacorn. no, I’m not just saying she had a lot of power, I actually can sense it, it was almost like she was producing heat from her body.

“Greetings, we apologize for the state you were previously in, you had unfortunately suffered a fractured skull”.

“I am Princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria, this is my sister, Princess Luna, also co-ruler of Equestria.”

A purple unicorn was next to speak. She was a bit shy but seemed rather curious.

“Um, hello, I’m princess twilight sparkle, princess of friendship.”

I almost snickered but I remembered I was talking to three princesses of this place. Nodding at their presentation, I decided it was my turn for an introduction.

“A pleasure to meet you, your highnesses, I am Jake Garson, I am the father of the two girls that I was with.”

“You mean to tell us that those alicorns are your kids?” Said Luna with a shocked expression.

“Yes, I rescued them from a lab and I have been taking care of them ever since, if I may ask where are they?”

“They are in a containment room a few halls down, you are healed due to the magic that we used to heal you, we can take you there if you wish.” Said princess Celestia.

Jake’s mind: “Magic, what are they talking about, I should ask later”

That would be wonderful, we can talk on the way there. I got the stuff I would need to bring until the room shook with a tremendous amount of force.

“What was that?” Twilight asked, clearing the ringing from her ears.”

Well, that indicates my daughter, Delta, knows I’m here.

“The alicorn made that?”

I nodded as we left the room.

I grabbed my rifle and slung it on my back, next, I slid my handgun into my holster before grabbing my helmet. None of that went unnoticed by the three Princesses as Princess Celestia tensed up when I did that but seemed shocked that she didn't do something she was expecting me to do.

As we walked down the first hallway, Twilight decided to strike up another conversation.

“So, Jake, how did you end up in Equestria again?”

Memories played over and over in my head while I tried to remember what had happened so far during our journey.

It started as a normal weekend, only for that weekend to turn into a workday.

“What’s your job?” Asked Luna.

Well, I work for a private security firm called Killborne security, I know, not the friendliest name.

“Indeed, what do you do in this company?” Celestia asked while looking at my uniform.

“Well, we work as a security force, regardless if our force is armed, we have been chasing traitors of our government, something we are not allowed to do, but all that started happening when the CEO, Rick Miller, swallowed up the business, we are still controlled primarily by the government though.”

“We were supposed to track down a man who wanted to blow up other countries for his gain, even if that wasn’t in our job description, the man’s name was Marco Dìaz.”

“We, unfortunately, found our way here by a vortex that formed in the air while flying in our machine,” I Said as we took a right turn, avoiding a medical team making their way past us.

“What is a man?” Asked Twilight.

“Oh, right, in your case, a man would be considered a stallion and a woman would be considered a mare, our species are called humans to put things simply.”

“Human, human… I swear I heard that name before, somepony in my town was obsessed with humans but I can’t place my hoof on it,” said Twilight, trying to remember a certain mint green unicorn.

We approached a containment room, I saw that same rainbow-maned pegasus who I believed sucker punched me in the gut before everything went black. She looked rather bored while talking to an irritated Matt. Both my kids were just sleeping. I was wondering where my dog was but I put that at the back of my mind as we entered the room.

The occupants turned towards me and my vision was blinded by nothing but pink and two baby blue eyes.

“HelloI’mpinkiepieit’snicetomeetyouthereaderdidagoodjobwiththisstory,sinceyournewtoEquestriaimgoingtomakeyouawelcometoequestriapartybye.”

The pink being finally disattached from my face and in a blur, it ran off. I looked towards the princesses, hoping they had an answer to what had just happened, and I really didn’t understand this world entirely.

“Oh, that’s just pinkie pie, you’ll get to meet her later,” said twilight, blushing in embarrassment.

I nodded, unsure what to think of this pinkie pie character.

“This is my boss, Matt burg, the CO of the base we took off from. If anyone can explain
this company, it’s him.”

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

End of Jake’s POV.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Matt stood up and bowed.

“I would be more than willing to answer any questions you may have about the company,” said Matt, standing straight with his hands clasped together.

Celestia was deep in thought, locking away the horrible memories that would appear any time she saw the creatures now known as humans. She would later vomit from the memories, the explosions, the corpses of ponies… She snapped out of the trance, but whenever she saw Jake, she didn’t see a cold ruthless killer, unlike Matt, she saw a kind, protective, and loving father, similar to her ponies when parenthood arises.

She came to a decision, the human known as Matt didn’t need to explain himself, she would only need twilight’s help for this.

“You are welcome to leave Canterlot and explore on one condition”, said Celestia, her voice becoming more authoritative.

“What would that be, your highness?” Matt asked, a little uneasy at the tone of her voice, yet he knew there was no harm behind it.

“Since you are the newfound leader of this base your… um, pilots have mentioned, princess Twilight will buy your company.”

Matt thought about the idea for a while, listing all the pros and cons before agreeing.

“I can agree to your terms, princess, since you are buying our company, would you like to rename it and change anything about how we operate?”

Twilight was still trying to take everything in, she hadn’t intended to swallow up a company, unlike Rainbow Dash who was rather excited to partially own a private military, Twilight had her doubts, yet the princesses were counting on her and she would not fail.

Well, that’s a lot to take in, how about we enjoy Canterlot and then you can show us around your… um, base of operations.

“Copy that.” Said Matt as he winked, understanding she was still unsure about this.

“Dad, I’m hungry,” complained Charlie as she held her front hooves to her stomach, giving puppy dog eyes to everyone.

Celestia’s poker face crumbled in an instant at the poor hungry young alicorn filly. She decided they would be free to go as Jake was just a father trying to look out for his family. In the back of Celestia’s mind, she knew what he and his species were capable of and she would tell Twilight to monitor them closely.

At Fluttershy’s cottage

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Outside of Fluttershy’s Cottage, Applejack’s Dog Winona, Rarity’s cat opalescent or Opel, Rainbow’s pet Tortuga (turtle), Tank, and Fluttershy’s pet rabbit, Angel were just relaxing outside on the nice warm summer day. All were talking about different things, of course, no other ponies except Fluttershy could understand them, that’s how she takes care of all her animals after all.

“Did y’all hear about the new pet who is being cared for?” Said Winona, her tail wagging excitedly.

“Yeah, what’s so special about this pet, he’s just like any other pet we got around here,” grumbled Angel, not happy that his owner was going to pay more attention towards the new fellow than himself.

“I heard he’s from another universe,” stated Tank, he was always the wisest of the group, yet everyone just passed it off as him being crazy.

“That’s ridiculous, you have no proof that the newcomer is otherworldly,” accused Angel.

None of the Group were aware of the vibrant green eyes lurking in the bushes inside of the Everfree. They shifted back and forth until the creature was in full view. The first to spot the creature, which was a Timberwolf, was Opal.

“Run!!!” She yelled as the others scattered in different directions, all except for Winona who tripped on a root sticking out of the ground.

The Timber wolf, smaller than usual, due to it being a juvenile, launched itself towards Winona who could do nothing but close her eyes and await for a painful end.

The sound of a loud dog barking was clearly heard and the small Timberwolf looked up before sprinting back towards the forest where it had come from. Winona opened her eyes to see a large black and tan dog with pointed ears which resembled horns stood a few feet from her, the remains of the Timberwolf’s tail in its mouth before spitting it out.

Winona got up and she finally got to see this stranger in person and to be honest, her face heated up seeing that the dog was abnormally muscular, even for any dog she had seen. Not wanting to make the situation any more awkward then it needed to be, she decided to thank the dog for saving her.

“Thanks, partner, I thought I was a goner for sure when that wolf attacked, names Winona, what's your name, stranger?”

“I’m just doing my job, ma’am, My name is Blade.”

“Your job, are you part of the Royal sniffer dogs?”

“Royal sniffer dogs? No, I’m a security dog, I help keep everyone safe, I don’t do detective work.”

“Oh, where ya from, Blade?”

Blade thought about what she had said, would she think he’s crazy or should he tell her that he might not be from this place. The other animals that had currently occupied the area came back and waited to hear what the imposing dog had to say.

“Well, I’m not from this land, I’m a foreigner, I can’t seem to find or remember what happened to my owners, but I’m glad I don’t have to worry about playing dress up.”

Everyone’s jaws dropped in utter disbelief, seeing that Tank was not crazy after all. They all swore to never doubt Tank again.

“So, what kind of dog are you, Blade?” Asked Winona, curious to know more about this dog who had just saved her life.

“I’m a Doberman pinscher, my breed was originally created in a country called Germany but so many people loved us that we became widespread. I’m currently from a land called North America.”

“Well that’s mighty interesting, Blade, I live close by, maybe you’d like to meet the rest of my family some time,”Winona beamed.

Blade considered the idea, he loved kids, he was very good with them.

“Maybe there will be humans at her place and they can help me find my family, it’s worth a try,” he thought.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Meanwhile

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

the group who aimlessly walked through the streets of Canterlot, exploring different shops and landmarks conversed on what it was like on earth. Jake was still trying to wrap his head around the idea of the existence of magic.

The only magic he knew were tricks that magicians did for the entertainment of the audience. He should know due to his cousin being a magician.

Memories flooded his mind, remembering the day as a police officer investigating his cousin’s disappearance after a public magic show. There was no lead and no evidence that she was kidnapped, All that remained in the dressing room were her belongings and her trademark hat.

He loved his cousin a lot, the only person who cared about him as Jake’s parents didn’t care for him that much. He pushed that thought aside though.

“So, y’all are telling us there ain’t any magic where you come from?” Applejack asked while wearing a bewildered expression.

Jake shook his head and proceeded to explain how the world they once lived in worked as they got onto the streets.

“You know, Jake, your world reminds me of the Everfree forest,” said Twilight, reminding Jake of the men he had lost to those blasted wooden beasts which they called Timberwolves. He hid his emotions from the day before and continued their conversation as they took a turn down another street.

“In the everfree, the animals take care of themselves, and the weather moves on its own,” explained Applejack.

“That’s our world in a nutshell” Delta replied.

The six muttered to one another, until Rainbow Dash flew up to Matt.

“So, what kind of stuff do you do at this base?”

Matt grunted softly and turned to Dash.

“Stuff”.

Wanting more than a simple answer, Rainbow Dash kept prying Matt to reveal more information.

“Come on, you can tell me, I’m practically in charge of you now.”

“We do training, exercises, flying and more.”

Rainbow Dash squealed in excitement, wanting to see the place for herself. In her head, she wondered if the place was cooler than the wonderbolt academy. Twilight wanted to know what those machines that the pilots were planning on picking them up with later on.

“Matt, you don’t mind telling us about those machines you brought with you?” Asked Twilight.

“Indeed, they are quite sleek and elegant, yet the color could be a bit more presentable,” said rarity, obviously complaining about the helicopter’s dull grey paint jobs

Matt decided to give a brief rundown of what a helicopter was.

“The machines are called helicopters, they are rotary-winged aircraft. Humans can’t fly so we made aircrafts that include another type of aircraft called an airplane to fly.”

Matt continued to talk about helicopters and what they could do that planes just couldn’t accomplish.

“The specific name for the helicopters we use is a utility helicopter, or a UH-60 Blackhawk.” Explained Matt.

Twilight thought long and hard until she had a question that she wanted to ask Jake while in the medical wing.

“Hey, Jake.”

Jake turned to Twilight.

“Yeah, what's up?”

“I was wondering, where are Delta and Charlie from, or where were they born?”

“Actually, they were born on earth, the planet we used to live on.”

“They were created genetically in a lab, forced to be nothing but tools until I saved them.”

The group had their ears down but smiled at the prospect of me saving their lives and creating a better future for Delta and Charlie.

“Maybe I should introduce Apple bloom and her friends to Charlie, they seem to be the same age,” said Applejack, peering at an excited Charlie.

“I was wondering, do ponies live on earth too?” Asked Twilight, a notepad levitating in her magical grip.

Well, yes, but they are not intelligent like you or anyone else, they are very similar to dogs, cats, and other creatures.

Don’t get me wrong, they are not dumb, they just don’t share the exact same intelligence.

Jake remembered how many people reacted towards Delta and Charlie’s appearance in public.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Flashback.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Jake pulled into a park, now that his daughters were free to go into public, even if their appearance was not technically explained towards the media, they were at least allowed to be out and about.

The girls, younger than before, ran out and started playing on the playground, mainly playing tag or hide and go seek, startling children and nearby parents.

Jake took a seat and pulled out a book and began to read, it was probably a few hours until two shadows blocked the sunlight, Jake looked up to see two police officers looming over him.

“Can I help you, officers?”

“We got a few complaints about two animals that are disturbing some parents and they are afraid for their kid’s safety, said the first cop.

“Oh, them?” Jake gestured to his kids as they played around.

“They are my kids”.

“Uh-huh… well I don’t know what to say other than you need to leave or you give us any identification and I can talk things up with my superiors.”

“Of course”.

I handed them all the official information I had on me that indicated the special federal unit I belonged to and they went back to their cruiser and returned shortly later.

“Well, my boss says you're free to stay at this park for as long as you’d like since you're not a major problem”, he said before bidding me a good day as he and his partner headed to their cruiser, backing up out of the parking lot before driving off.”

“Hey dad, did those cops come back to ask if you wanted your old job back”? Questioned Delta, a paper airplane In her levitational grip.

Chuckling, Jake dismissed the idea of him being a cop again as he was fired for life. All he cared about was having his daughters with him and watching them grow up.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

End of flashback.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After my recap of life back home, Rainbow asked what Jake’s previous job was and he told her he was a law enforcement officer.

“Well that’s a good question, Rainbow Dash, I was called a police officer, I upheld the law and enforced it along with my colleagues.”

“So, kind of like a Royal guard?” Asked Rainbow, trying to compare the two.

Jake remembered two royal guards would be accompanying him.

One was from the solar guard, and the other was from the Lunar guard. It reminded him of the Marines and the Army, the Marines have a bit too much pride and for their own sake won’t admit they were part of the Navy.

If Jake remembered correctly, one of the Guards asked specifically if she could be a babysitter for Charlie, since she doesn’t need to go on every mission thanks to Twilight being the new leader of the company. I asked if Charlie was okay with this, she said it was fine and she felt comfortable with Sunny.

The two guards would be stationed in ponyville for our entire stay in Equestria, seeing that Jake and his family wouldn’t be going anywhere anytime soon, it would be for their entire time serving as Royal Guards.

Rarity decided to make herself known since she hadn’t said anything for a while other than the fashion stuff and my ceremonial cop uniform.

“If I may ask, I was going to head to a concert and I had a few extra tickets for the musical performance if anyone wanted to join me.”

She levitated a few tickets, enough for all of us. I took a look at the title and it said, See the great Octavia Melody perform a solo at the Canterlot orchestra center.

In an instant, Delta ran up to her dad, pleading for him to say yes and see an actual classical musician play live on stage. Jake was not going to say no, they made their way to the stage that was being set a few blocks down,

Not watching where she was going, Delta bumped into a rather chubby mare with light olive green fur and dark green hair in a street musician’s outfit. She knocked over a piano piece along with some gold coins as she went to pick them up.

“Sorry, I didn’t see you there, need any help?”

The pony had a mildly irritated face that was scrunched up but once she saw Delta, she immediately bowed down to her.

“No no, it’s my fault, I should’ve moved my stuff out of the way, please forgive me, madam,” She said in shame.

Not sure why she was bowing down, Delta just started helping her gather all her stuff.

“You don’t need to bow, I’m not royalty, what’s your name?”

Regaining her composure, the streetwise mare beamed up at the young alicorn.

“Keynote, a wannabe famous musician.”

“Well, Keynote, I’m Delta, I should get going before I miss the chance to see Miss Octavia’s performance.”

Keynote nodded as she packed up her equipment and trotted off. Continuing their way towards a large theater, ponies gave them surprised or filthy looks as they approached the ticket booth.

Rarity took the lead as she handed a unicorn stallion the tickets who in turn allowed them entry. The group looked all around in fascination at the regal decorated theater, a large polished wooden stage adorning a few instruments but were taken backstage.

The lights dimmed and the audience simmered down as Delta quivered in excitement, waiting to see the famous musician play the instrument she loved, the cello.

A grey earth pony with a charcoal black mane and grey fur with two captivating violet purple eyes, a treble clef for her cutie mark walked out on the stage. Cutie marks were something Delta had come to know about the marks on a pony’s flanks that indicated their special talent.

Keynote had a similar cutie mark that involved a piano, indicating her special talent was keyboard instruments.

Her breath was taken away as the cellist began to play.

She gently slid her bow across each string like a boat sailing across a never-ending calm river.

Delta was in awe at the mare and had the biggest question for her once she was done.

In all her years, delta longed for a teacher, someone, or in this case, somepony who could teach her so she could master the cello, a dream she had wanted to fulfill since she was a filly.

After half an hour of spontaneous performance, the show was finally over and Delta saw the cellist make her way backstage, the Princess had told her and her sister that Alicorns were considered royalty.

The nobility of Canterlot would no doubt try to arrange marriages with her and Charlie so they all would decide to leave Canterlot and head down to Ponyville.

She trotted over to the side of the stage, seeing no one in sight, she entered the back where various ponies walked back and forth. They all stopped what they were doing when they saw Delta and bowed down before her.

No need, I just want to know where Miss Melody is, I wish to have a word with her.

Many ponies muttered to each other.

“An Alicorn wishing to see the famous Octavia Melody.”

“She must be extremely lucky.”

“I wonder where she is from.”

Finally, a pegasus mare pointed to a room with a golden star and a treble clef on it. Thanking her, Delta walked over and took a deep breath before knocking.

*Knock* *knock*

“Come in.”

A voice with a thick and noticeable British accent answered as Delta entered the performer’s room. An Earth pony, who adorned a pink bow tie, was putting away her cello for the moment.

Turning around, Octavia went wide-eyed at the Alicorn that stood in front of her. Before she could bow out of respect, Delta held up a hoof.

“Please, I’m not royalty, I just moved into Equestria, so there is no need to bow.”

“I see, then why are you here,” Octavia questioned.

I know this might be a lot for you, but I wish to play the cello, and I loved your performance.

Raising her eyebrow, she knew she wasn’t telling her everything.

“To make a long story short, could you teach me to play the cello? I recently bought one back home and I need a great teacher.”

Octavia chuckled.

“Dear, I’m not a teacher, I’m just a performer, I’m sure there are way better teachers than me.”

“Oh come on, you gotta teach me.”

Octavia face-hoofed herself.

“No,” she stated, muttering “teenagers” to herself.

Being Persistent, Delta sat down and began to pout.

“What are you doing?” Asked Octavia, her left eyebrow raised.

“I’m not leaving until you say yes.”

“Childish,” Octavia Muttered under her breath.

Octavia still held an unamused expression.

“Yes, you are indeed going to leave, dear.”

She walked over to a lever and pulled it down as the floor underneath Delta opened up as she fell.

Octavia looked down the tunnel that led outside.

Awww, now I feel bad, she said in mock-pity.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Outside the theater.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The group waited outside, still explaining the things humanity had created and how different Their Earth was compared to the ponies.

“Yeah, I still don’t believe you guys could make something made out of metal fly.”

One of the crew members, Darrick Jones, face palmed himself, sick and tired of constantly telling Rainbow dash helicopters could fly circles around her.

“For the hundredth time, helicopters fly, skittles!”

Before things could get any more heated, a loud rumbling noise was heard above them as Delta fell out of a large overturned vent on the side of the wall to the theater. she landed in front of them, her fur was a mess, disheveled. Jake smirked while walking over, extending a hand to his rather irritated daughter.

“So, how did it go,” he asked with a smile that annoyed Delta to no end.

“Wonderful, just wonderful, let’s just get going to this ponyville place,” Delta muttered.

A loud chuffing sound was heard as two helicopters came in and lowered towards the group. Rainbow Dash had her mouth agape, Darrick just smiled at her expression, seeing he had made his point on how the aircraft could fly.

“So, if we are to reach our base, the helicopters will get us there relatively soon, give or take,” shouted Matt over the loud rotating rotors and twin-engines of the helicopters, one hovered above the one on the ground, awaiting further instructions.

“Well, we better get there before nightfall, and pinkie pie probably has a surprise for you guys,” said twilight.

That made me a bit uncomfortable, usually, the surprises we got were fights and having to go on rescue missions.

But maybe these surprises won’t end like that, these ponies have only seen an invasion, not the worst but it was the only war that wasn’t for the crystal empire, a place that was made out of freaking crystals!

We boarded the helicopters, the ponies were hesitant at first, not knowing what would happen, but with a little reassurance, they boarded soon after. Rainbow sat next to me, her ears down, a guilty look written across her face.

“What’s wrong, Rainbow Dash, right?” I asked.

She seemed uncomfortable with what she was going to say next but swallowed up any remaining fear.

“Look, I’m sorry for hitting you and causing you to be hospitalized. We mainly get monsters that try to eat us, so I assumed you were something like that, and I get protective over my friends, including my friend Fluttershy.”

“Hey, no big deal, I understand you were just trying to protect your country and your friends, totally cool with it,” I said reassuringly.

“So, this is a helicopter huh, it could be twenty percent cooler,” she said, playing with the headset’s mic.

Twilight was studying every detail on the helicopter and gave a nod to Matt who returned the gesture.

Okay, get us out of here, yelled Matt.

The helicopter vertically left the ground, the other helicopter making way for its fellow aircraft as they made their way out of Canterlot, not knowing that their presence in the city wasn’t welcomed by all.

A villain’s scheme

Inside a large mansion on the other side of Canterlot, a unicorn mare with light peach fur, dark pink and crimson mane, along with sea blue eyes, sat at a table while talking to a few snobby nobles. Taking a sip of her drink, she addressed the ponies in the room.

“See here, madam moonstone, I may be very rich, but I will not sell this manner, it has been a respectable place that nobles all across Canterlot would gaze upon, my late husband and daughter would want this establishment to be a symbol of power the nobility of Canterlot possesses,” she said.

The Prince of Canterlot, prince Blue blood, nodded his head, making an upper-class strawberry pink mare huff in aggravation, not getting what she wanted.

“That said, where is my granddaughter?” Said the baroness, checking a large grandfather clock next to a few bookshelves.

Right at that moment, the large double doors to the room opened to reveal Keynote, out of breath.

“You shouldn’t keep me waiting like that, Key, you know how I hate when you run late.”

“Grandmother Silver pearl, I have great news.”

Her grandmother raised her eyebrow, interested at what could have made her run so late, Celestia knows she hates it.

“Everyone, we will discuss this topic tomorrow for the sales event”

With that, the nobles departed from the room and left the house, leaving a black cat, and the two ponies alone in the room.

Silver pearl looked at the foldable piano before knocking it off the table and down to the ground. Shocked at the unexpected turn, Keynote went to pick up the piano and check its condition.

“Silly little filly, I don’t want you to grow up and be a musician.” Silver pearl chuckled.

“Please, grandmother, I only do this for fun,” pleaded Keynote as Silver pearl closed the distance between them.

“You will be a high-class and respected noble like me and the family, you will not be a musician for as long as I live.”

Keynote fell off her chair, Silver pearl right above her.

“Do you understand me, young lady?”

Shaking her head in fear, Silver pearl backed away and took her seat once again and drank her wine. Staring Keynote in the eyes, a harsh glare directed towards her, she repeated her unanswered question.

“So, Keynote, why did you come in so late?”

Keynote took a deep breath and spoke.

“I met this really nice Alicorn today.”

Her grandmother, not believing her one bit, raised her eyebrow.

“I don’t believe you, dear.”

“It’s true grandmother, she had these odd creatures with her, they walked on two legs and wore clothes and odd armor all over…”

Keynote was cut off as Silver pearl grabbed her neck, shaking her. Her eyes held the fury of a thousand burning solar systems. Silver pearl’s left iris glowed an evil blood red.

“They were supposed to be gone, I swear to Celestia I would kill any who would dare to enter this land,” fumed Silver pearl as she released her constricting grip on Keynote who fell to the floor, gasping for air after the assault.

She cowered beneath her grandmother’s killer gaze and shook with fright as her grandmother began to destroy everything in sight. After her extreme meltdown, she walked over to a portrait of her with a filly and a stallion in formal outfits, hugging one another. Another picture showed a younger Silver pearl in a wedding gown and the same stallion in a fancy tuxedo with big happy smiles on their faces.

“I promise, I will destroy every last one of them, for you,” she whispered while placing a hoof on the first portrait.

“So… grandmother, can I leave now,” Keynote whimpered in fear.”

“I want you to find that mercenary and tell her I have a new contract for her, fail me, your piano won’t be the only thing destroyed,” her left eye began to glow brighter.

“Y-yes ma’am, I’ll be going now.”

Keynote ran out the door and left a very enraged Silver pearl who looked out her window, the land of Equestria as far as she could see. She put her hoof on her left eye as digital engravings started to glow on the side of her face, her left eye after being touched flashed blue.

Her body was covered in digital squares as she adorned an anthropomorphic body yet retained her head, mane, and tail. She wore a fancy ball gown, holding a long cigarette between her two fingers.

“They took everything from me.”

“They made me suffer.”

“It’s time to make them pay for everything they did to me.”

“I hate hoomans!!!”
