The 4th Tribe

Chapter 10- Earth

Rainbow Dash POV

I was chilling out in my house when Fluttershy came up and rang the doorbell. I got up and lazily flew over to the door.

“What do you need Fluttershy?”

“Well... t- Twilight asked me to come and get you, apparently Matt wants to show us something.” I immediately perked up. Finally, I get some answers to my some of my questions. And I get to see Matt. YAY

“Okay, LETS GO” I zoom out the door and fly as fast as I can to Twilights house, leaving Fluttershy spinning on the deck. I get there and fly through the door, scaring everypony there. Matt was in the kitchen, starting intently at a bowl of corn kernels.

“So Twilight, why did he ask us to come here?”

She gave a small smile. “He wants to show you something, and answer any questions.” I was so happy.

“We’re just waiting on Fluttershy.” About 5 minutes later, Fluttershy trotted in. Finally, we can start.

He got up from the table and walked out to where we were sitting, carrying the bowl of corn. He coughed and cleared his throat.

“Thank you all for coming, 1st order of business, I want to thank you all for saving my life, and 2, watch this. He closed his eyes and shot a bolt of lightning at the pcorn, scaring everypony. He gave a smile and pointed to the bowl. Where the corn used to be, there was nothing but popcorn. Everypony mouths were hanging open.

“THAT WAS SO AWESOME, CAN YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE.”

“yeah, but not right now, I’ve been doing this all day, so I’m a little tiered, besides, I thought you guys wanted to ask me some questions?” We all nodded, still in shock. I mean it’s not every day you see a lightning bolt come out of someponys hands.

“ well, shot away” and of course the 1st to talk was Pinkiepie.

“ Do you guys like to party?” He gave another of his smiles.

“ yes, we love to party.” That seemed to please Pinkiepie to no end. The next was AJ.

“What do yall eat?” he gave this question some serious thought before answering.

“Well, we eat the same thing as you guys, but we also eat meat. Yes I know that sounds disgusting, but most humans need it to live, or you have to eat a LOT of vegetables. I guess that I’ll have to get used to them.” That was a bit disturbing that they ate animals, but at least they could survive on veggies. The next to talk was Fluttershy.

“What kind of animals do you have on your planet?”

“Well, we basically have the same kind of animals as you, besides the Manticors and other mythical things.” Next was of course Rarity.

“Does your world like fashion?” He gave a big smile.

“Oh yes, we have entire stores and company’s devoted to just that.” I had to ask the next one.

“What is it like to live on your world?” He gave me a funny look.

“You want me to explain to you my entire world?”

“Um yeah.” He gave a sigh.

“This is gonna take a while, okay my planet has a name. It’s called Earth. We are the only as far as we know, smart creature on our planet. Theres about 7 Billion of us. We all live in about 200 countiries. Each country has a certain amount of land and have their own rules and laws. I come from one of the most powerful countries, The United States of America. It’s a constitutional republic, and a new leader called a president is elected every 4 years. Most of our race are nice, caring and good people, but a good portion of them are evil. They are easily corruptible they will kill, and not good all-around people. Also, most of the time some of the countries are at war with each other. We don’t have any magic, so we learned to use tools to build and help us. Were also very good when it comes to science, and some of us think that we are the only race in the universe, but I guess that that’s now out the window.” He stopped talking and started at me.

“Does that answer your question for you?” His world sounded so great, but I had a feeling that he really did mean that some of them are evil. But I had 1 more question that was bothering me.

“Can you guys fly?”

“Well, we can’t  fly without big machines, but yes we can fly.”

“How fast are you talking about?” he paused for a minute to think about that question.

“Well, most of our military’s planes can fly around twice the speed of sound, but the fastest think are ICBMS, they go around Mach 16” I was shocked and ready for a challenger, finally something as fast as me.

“What’s an ICBM is it like a type of plane or what? Twilight asked him.

“Well, an ICBM is also called a nuclear missile, and its basically the most destructive  and evil thing that we have. It’s armed with something called a Nuclear Bomb, or has many of them.  A nuclear bomb is a type of explosive device that can destroy an entire city in a single blast. Only 2 have ever been used, sadly by my country against another country called japan to end a worldwide war, and they both killed around 125000 people.

Twilight looked like she wanted to cry.

“Why would you make something so evil?” He hung his head in shame.

“Honest to god, I really don’t know, and could we please get of this topic?” he suddenly yawned.

“I wish I could see your world one time.” I told him.

“Yeah, so do I.” he looked sad. We sat around in silence. All of a sudden, Matt looked up and jumped to his feet and ran outside. We all went outside to see why he ran out. It was late at night and no pony except us was up. He pointed to the sky.

“Oh you got to be fucken kidding me.”

“What, what is it what…are…you…looking….at?” Twilight stuttered. There in the sky, was a metor falling right towards us. We did’t have enough time to run away, we were all in shock. I heard a strange buzz as the meteor crashed about 50 feet to our right. A huge piece of dirt came right for us, but it suddenly stopped and fell to the ground at our feet.

“Oh thank god that worked, that was close.” Matt exclaimed.

“What, What did you do?” I asked him.

Twilight ansered, “ he projected and eletromagntic field that protected us from the dirt.” I had abosutly no idea what she meant, I looked at Matt, wanting an answer.

“Hey, don’t look at me; I have no idea what she means either.” I laughed, finally someone who doesn’t get Twilights smart person talk.

“Um, if yall don’t mind, what the hay is that?” she was pointing to where the meteor was, but it wasn’t a meteor.
