Roadie awoke to whispering. He was laying down inside somewhere. He slowly moved his head to the side to see Celestia, and a butter yellow pegasus with a pink mane were the source of the whispering.

“-as it really that awful?” The pegasus asks.

“So much conflict for so long, and over countless worlds. No wonder he has that armor, and the battlemech. They’re needed to survive where he’s from.” Celestia said with a sad tone in her voice. “On a more positive note; while they are capable of such horrific violence, they are capable of great compassion.”

Without warning, Roadie felt a rapid tapping against his head. He turned to face the source; a little rabbit, which proceeded to rapidly kick his helmet and motion for him to move.

Seriously? Roadie thought. I’ve been awake for less than a minute and you want me to-.

“Angel!, you leave him alone this instant mister.” the pegasus said in a firm voice that still sounded quiet.

‘Angel’ made several hand gestures at Roadie, and something beneath him.

“I know he’s in your spot on the couch, but you can share it for a little bit.”

“Umm. I can move if that’ll make things easier. I’m not sure how I got here anyway.” Roadie said.

The pegasus responded with an “eep” before trying to hid behind her mane. Celestia frowned, and approached Roadie.

“How much did you see?” see asked.

Roadie just sat there for a few seconds before replying “A battle over a crystal city, Turning some… thing into stone, and you being forced to send someone to the moon because she turned evil. You’re impossible. You can’t exist. Organic beings can’t live for several thousand years, and move suns around like toys!” replied in equish. “...and I also learned a new language? Alright what did you do?”

Celestia let out a sigh. “I was charging up a calming spell when you accidentally bumped me with your laser cannon. Since I lost focus the spell went from being a calming spell to a memory spell. You got flashes of my life, and I saw… your whole life. Childhood, school, mechwarrior training, and even the Centurion when it belonged to your father, and your father’s father.”

“I see…” Roadie said.

A scroll flashed into existance in front of Celestia. Celestia quickly unrolled it and read it. “I think we found your friends.” Celestia said. “My captain of the guard, and niece are on their honeymoon in Appleoosa when they saw a fireball land in the desert. They can’t get close whatever landed without it firing lightning and beams of light at them.”

“Could be my friends or the clanners. Hmm. Where is Appleoosa? I’ll head out and investigate at once.”

“An excellent idea. I’ll visit Twilight, and see if she wants to help out. I believe she will want to help along with her friends.” Celestia said while giving the yellow pegasus a small smile. The pegasus returned the smile and nodded. “Oh! you’ll probably need a guide. I’ll look around town and see if I can find anypony who can help you.”

“Thanks. I’ll meet them by the farm I landed in. I have to load the life support pod onto the ‘mech.” Roadie explains as he heads towards the door. He stops and turns to the yellow pegasus. “Thank you for letting me rest here ma’am.”

“Oh… umm… you’re welcome.” the pegasus said while trying to hide behind her mane again.

Roadie nodded before exiting the small home with some small difficulty fitting through the doorway.

Author's Note

Sorry for delay, and constantly trying different formatting. I think I like this one the best, and this should be the end of major revisions so I can start to add older chapters with edits. I'm also working on some bonus chapters. These'll be little snips from the scrapped sequel . Enjoy!
