Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It was midnight and Iota couldn't sleep at all she was restless. Do to the discovery Pall made today it was hard to get all of that out of her head. All she can do is just look out the castle's old aged windows. She wasn't surprised to see that it is still raining outside it always rained since those robots came out of the blue. Iota believed in the existence of extraterrestrial life and thought that ponies and aliens could live in peace. But the miracle of that never came to be. Since Iota is a thirteen year old naive mare she would block out the fact that aliens want nothing to do with being friends with ponies. And just wanna take over a planet and either turn ponies into slaves or exterminate them. She still believes there could be good in aliens they just need a chance to bring out their friendly side. Yeah maybe if she could convince them to stop show that they aren't all that bad there will be everlasting peace in the world.

Iota moved away from the window and out of dullness she looked around the room and absorve everything she sees. Her eye caught sight of something laying on the ground. She got up and walked over to the thing laying on the ground and sees that it is a journal?.

"A journal?"

She picked up the journal and upon having a close look at the journal there was a piece of paper taped on it. On the paper it says Ace's journal the name Ace sounded familiar to Iota. She opened the journal to the first page.

Page 1 May 18 2034

I'm Ace Bosco I don't know what happened but all I remember is that I got sucked into a bright light and woke up in this forest. I wasn't familiar with this forest nor with it's inhabitants. I was lost and tried to find my way out of the forest but the darkness of the forest made it kinda hard to do so. Judging by the darkness of the forest I assume it could be either six or seven in the morning. I somehow made it out of the forest when I was out I say a town in the distance. I found a sign that welcomed me to this town when looking at the sign I was a tad bit confused. On the sign it says welcome to ponyville it is absurd of a town to be named after an animal but I digress.

I must say I like how this town looked even though this town has a weird name. It look pretty nice there was a little flower shop and a bakery that resembles that of a gingerbread house. I wonder if it was really made out of gingerbread anyways there was a bowling alley. Some restaurants and other things a town always has. But after a minute I felt as if I were being watched I turned around to see no one or nothing spying on me. I started to feel hungry went to a fruit stand now what I'm doing is wrong but I didn't had my wallet. So I have to take a few fruits and I'm really sorry for it. Before I could leave I hear the sound of hooves hitting the ground when I turn to see the cause of the noise there was a anthropomorphic pony running towards me with a frying pan.

"Whoever this journal belongs to they may not be from Equestria".

Iota says in her head

Before Iota turns to the third page she walked to the window and saw somepony outside walking to the castle. Iota goes downstairs to the entrance of the castle when she was standing at the door she opened the door a crack. And sees Fluttershy outside the door all wet and cold.

"Fluttershy! oh my goodness your alive come in quickly".

"Thanks"

Fluttershy says as she walks in the castle to escape the rain.

"Holly Celestia your alive"

Iota gives Fluttershy a hug Fluttershy gives a tighter hug back. Fluttershy was glad to see other ponies still alive after the attack of those machines. She was scared badly after witnessing the permanent death of her friends.

Meanwhile at Canterlot

The human boy was sleeping in a large that definitely belonged to royalty. He was sleeping peacefully he felt warm and safe under the big blanket. But then he started having nightmares and whatever they may be about it could have something to do with something in this none human world. Finally he had wakened up from those atrocious nightmares of thorns.

"Gasp......sigh stupid nightmares"

He sat there letting his lungs and heart settle down after seeing those nightmares. Such problems they can cause people the trouble the put on your shoulders. He was now tired and hungry he hadn't ate when he arrived at this castle.

"They didn't get me food I had to sneak out of the forest for it. But now there will be none of that surviving in the woods nonsense anymore"

He got up from the bed and grabbed what seemed to be a fermob balad lamp and turned it on. He stepped out of the room and out in the hall he was. It was dark in the castle halls and almost creepy looking at this time of hour. He kept walking around trying to find the kitchen in this castle. But he didn't find any luck though he felt so tired that finding a kitchen in a big castle was just meaningless already. Before giving up he saw a door that leads to the kitchen.

"Finally"

He walks into the kitchen he found a bowl of fruit sitting on the counter. Looks at the nice looking and colorful fruit he had starved for. But he couldn't stand there and admire the fruits for long he started to feel paranoid about something. He doesn't know what he's paranoid about but it be better to admire all these fruits somewhere else. He grabs the fruit bowl and headed out. He's in the hallway fast walking to the room he almost trip on himself. For some reason he slowly turned his head to look behind him. For a minute no one nor nothing was there he stared in the darkness. His eyes adjusted a little then there was a pony like shadow figure in the hallway. He panicked and rubbed at his eyes he opened them and the shadow figure was gone.

"Oh....oh my I was just seeing things".

The human boy had calmed down after having a bad hallucinating and went to the room to finally eat the fruit in peace.

In the abandoned castle

Iota was showing Fluttershy the journal she'd found and showed her the first two pages of the journal.

"On this journal there's the name Ace sounded so familiar".

"Now that you mentioned it I think that journal belongs to that human who was held in Canterlot captivity two months ago"

Fluttershy says

"Really?....oh of course! that explains the name. Even the journal is so familiar I see the human with it but I never read his journal. I always wondered what he was writing in this journal but now that I now who the owner of the journal is. But now we know that he's not from Equestria.

"Really?"

Fluttershy says

"Yeah it says in the first page Ace Bosco was sucked into a bright light. And woke up in the everfree forest and found ponyville".

Both of the mares were now silent do to the realization hitting them in their faces. And it seems they know this human kinda. Now they wonder if he's still alive out there somewhere.

"Hopefully the those black bipedal beings didn't hurt him".

Fluttershy says

"About that those things are actually machines".

Iota says

"Wait...what!"
