In a time far from our own, two universes collide to change the way we look at fate itself. Deep in space, our story falls upon the lap of Fox McCloud and two of his loyal crew members, Falco and Krystal. They were traveling through space in their Arwings trying to recover their arch nemesis' trail. His name was Wolf O'Donnell, he was gritty and never stopped trying to take down Fox and his team. Growing tired, Falco started to become eager to give up on the search.

"Fox, I'm telling you, he's long gone by now. We out gunned him like usual and he ran off." Falco said with a sigh.

"I guess you're right Falco" Fox replied "We should probably head back to the Great Fox and brief the others."

Turning their Arwings around, they headed back towards the Great fox's coordinates. Suddenly, a laser shot out from behind at floating meteor and hit Krystal's wing.

"I'M HIT" She shouted on the radio.

Fox darted over to where the laser came from and saw Wolf's ship fly right past him. He flew out of range for the lasers on Fox's Arwing, but he saw the direction he was going.

"He's headed straight for the Great Fox!" Falco said.

Fox nodded and got the team into an intercepting formation, then proceeded to pursue Wolf. The team eventually caught up to Wolf and were surprised he was going as fast as he was. Their Arwings could barely handle the speed, but Fox told them to stay in the formation until they got in front of Wolf's ship. They slowly inched closer and closer, until they finally got in front of him. The crew was going at Mach four and wasn't planning on stopping til Wolf slowed down. Then out of no where a burst of light surrounded all four ships and they disappeared into the depths of space. In a flash they reappeared, but something was terribly wrong. The ships were malfunctioning and starting to stall.

Looking for a place to land, Fox saw a stunning planet and ordered his crew to lean their ships into its atmosphere. Wolf was still following behind them, but he veered off to other edge of the planet out of site. Getting closer to the ground, they saw the beautiful grassy plains and bright vivid colors. Suddenly, Fox looked at his hands as they transformed into what seemed to be hoofs.

"Are you seeing this Fox?" Falco shockingly spoke over the radio.

As all of their Arwings slammed into the ground, Fox's Arwing crashed into a brown tree house. All three Arwings were totaled and their pilots laid unconscious.

Meanwhile... All of main six, heard a loud crash and decided to go investigate.

"Do you think Pinkie is making cupcakes again?" Applejack laughed, as her and Twilight galloped over to the scene of the crash.

Pinkie and Rarity walked up together wondering what all of the commotion was about, as did Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Twilight went over to the Arwing that crashed into CMC's clubhouse and peered into the windshield to find a light brown pony deep in slumber. Using her magic, she ripped off the windshield and released all the steam from inside the cockpit. The pony coughed and slowly opened his eyes, only close them again. Twilight reached into the cockpit, took the pony and laid him on the ground.

Rainbow Dash flew over to one of the other Arwings to see who was inside. Looking into the cockpit of the second Arwing, she saw a blue pony with his wings curled up. She was instantly star struck and ripped of the windshield to get a closer look at the pony she was so attracted to. Rainbow Dash picked him up and laid him down next to the light brown pony, as they looked over to the third Arwing, they saw Pinkie looking into the windshield and cocking her head.

"Hey Twilight, this pony looks kinda like you, but blue!" Pinkie shouted and waved towards the group.

Twilight, being curious, trotted over to the Arwing and looked inside. The pony was blue and had almost the same hair as Twilight, but it was much shorter. She opened the windshield and tried to take the pony out, but her body wouldn't budge. She took a closer look and saw there was a sharp metal object through her spine, leaving the seat covered in blood. Twilight covered her mouth and put the windshield back onto the Arwing so no other pony would see this tragedy.

Backing away from the Arwing, she turned her attention towards the other two ponies.

"We'll bring them both to my house so they can rest." Twilight explained. "We can have Doctor Hooves, check on them in the morning."

"I'll help you watch over them, Twilight!" said Rainbow Dash jumping up rapidly. "You know, in case they wake up and attack... or something."

Twilight nodded as everyone else looked at each other. They were all wondering why Rainbow Dash actually wanted to something, instead of just sleeping the day away like usual. Twilight and Rainbow Dash picked up the two ponies and brought them to the library to lay them down. Entering the building, Rainbow Dash looked upset and worried.

"Do you think they'll be alright?" She asked Twilight.

Looking into her eyes, Twilight could tell she cared for the blue pony a lot. Why, she didn't know if they were going to actually be okay, but Twilight didn't have the heart to give an actually answer. She just nodded and smiled at Rainbow Dash.

As the sun went down, Twilight tried to go to sleep, but all she could think about was the light brown pony. Who is he and will he be okay? She walked over to the bed that he was sleeping in and tried to wake him. He slowly opened his eyes again and she smiled. Keeping them open he mumbled.

"Where am I? Who are you? Where is my team?" the mysterious pony asked.

"You're in Equestria, my name is Twilight and you crashed your ship with two other people, one of them, unfortunately, didn't make it. What is your name?" Twilight whispered, trying to be quiet and not wake the other pony.

"My name is Fox McCloud, who didn't make it and why am I a pony?" Fox replied.

"Well I guess when you came to this world our magic altered you and your friends. About the other pony who didn't make it, you might want to look for yourself." Twilight said.

Fox nodded and followed Twilight out to the crash site. He trotted over towards the Arwing with the windshield still on and looked through the clear glass. Seeing that it was Krystal, he looked away and didn't shed a single tear. Twilight was concerned.

"You know it's not good to bottle up your feelings." She told Fox.

"Sometimes you have to be strong, not only for yourself, but for your team." Fox replied.

Twilight nodded and they walked back towards the library.

Walking into the room where Fox and his friend were sleeping, they stumbled upon Rainbow Dash kissing the blue pony on the lips. She turned to them and jumped into the air.

"IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" She shouted as she flew out of the window.

Twilight and Fox look at each other and let out a small laugh. Sitting down on the bed, they both look over towards his friend still in a deep slumber.

"By the way that's Falco. He is a great pilot and obviously now he's good with the ladies." Fox smirked as he turned to Twilight.

She was sleeping on the bed he was supposed to be on. Confused on what to do, he laid down next to the purple pony and looked up at the ceiling, wondering what in the world was going on. He still had so many questions and no one was even awake to answer them. Slowly dazing out, he figured it was best to have them answered in the morning.
