Bright Haze: The Mo'ka Choice

My heart raced at the sight of the planet, Dee screamed and rushed inside. I couldn't take my eyes off the rip, it was bad, very fucking bad. What did it mean though? Had Discord returned, or whatever was on the other side find out about us. About the rift. Maybe there wasn't anything, just a planet, maybe we were safe. But I highly doubted it. I heard my name being called and saw everypony heading toward the house, Steven was there and the group was being lead by none other than the princess herself. Celestia was here, so we were all fucked.

Dee came out of the house again and stared at the rift then noticed Celestia and the others coming and lent in close.

"Okay, the rift is open and is very important, I give you permission to fight for Equestria again. But come back, quickly." Dee muttered, I nodded and began to make my way toward the group. Everypony was there, ready for this high and mighty talk about the end of the world and shit.

"As you can see my little ponies. The rift I once thought closed has opened again, however the planet on the other side isn't moving toward us. Now we are in a different universe altogether to this other planet so the civilization there is much more, advanced than ours. Their planet, since the rift opened has have aged faster than ours, their year is about sixteen minutes for us. So they have gone extremely far into their future than us. They will outmatch us in most aspects, but I do not wish for war. So we must hope this planet doesn't declare anything against us." Celestia said.

"Wait, go back. What do you mean, since the rift opened?" Heart Breaker asked.

"Good question. Before this rift, the Discord one, we could, I could always travel from here to there without a disturbance. But then Discord came, opened the portal and their universes time frame broke from our, so where we and they traveller through future history almost simultaneously, they went eras ahead of us like it was normal for their universe." Celestia said.

"So you are telling us that they have far more superior weaponry than our own. How hostile did you say this world is?" I asked.

"From what I could tell from my visits and what the unicorns have found out, very. So we need to be on high alert but sadly can't make a first move, if this is certainly war, I am sorry my ponies, but we won't win." Celestia replied, there was pure silence after that, except the raging storm.

"So, let me get this straight. You are saying this rift is now fully open, so either world can get to the other and not only are they more advanced in every way. But we have no chance of winning a war which is bound to happen. Anything else?" I asked, Celestia paused.

"Shit." I grunted.

"Equestrian magic is dying and we have no way to close the portal except somehow destroy the void between the portals." Celestia added. I swore, loudly.

"We are fucking screwed then!" I shouted.

"Haze!" Heart Breaker shouted, I paused my running about in panic. Then looked to my friend.

"If we play our cards right we might just be able to convince this world we won't be any threat. What we need is an ambassador, somepony who has been on both worlds." Heart Breaker said, then looked to Celestia who nodded. "And that pony." Heart Breaker paused, then took a deep breathe.

"Is me. I am human, I am from that world." Heart Breaker said. I screamed out in fear and rage. Everypony started talking at the same time.

After nearly twenty minutes Celestia got annoyed and shot a lightning bolt into the storm clouds, everypony promptly shut the fuck up. I stared at Heart Breaker in utmost disbelief. I couldn't believe he was from this other world and was 'human' or whatever he had said.

"Heart Breaker came to Equestria by a personally built portal, he isn't the reason its open, never has been. In fact it is open because nopony ever closed it so it is no ponies fault. Heart Breaker has been here for years, I changed him to an Alicorn myself. He is in deed human but I have no doubts he would betray us. Am I right Heart Breaker?" Celestia said, rather quickly.

"You are my princess. Earth, my home world, was full of haters and death, I am sure it has gotten much worse but Equestria is my home now." Heart Breaker replied. I nodded, good enough.

"I always knew it Heart Breaker." Rainbow called out from next to Spectra. Where were the two children, the filly and colt? I guess back home like Tage was.

"You are still a bastard to me." I muttered, Heart Breaker smiled.

"So, how do we deal with all, this." Rarity asked, gesturing around her person.

"The rift we can do nothing about, maybe it will close again over time, maybe the other world. Earth, will destroy the void themselves. I couldn't say truly. But everything else, I am sure we can fix eventually. This magic thing may just be temporary and if not we will find a way to fix this. The weather we can deal with and everything else we can ignore or fix." Celestia replied, Rarity then nodded. I looked at the rift again drifting under the cloud layer, the darkness of what I thought to be the void hung then the Earth stood alone a bright red colour.

"Is Earth meant to be red?" I asked. It was a pale shade, but didn't seem natural.

"No. It is blue. Why?" Heart Breaker explained, then looked to the planet.

"Fuck. That looks to be over pollution. If it is as bad as it looks, we may not have to stop a war, and I might be the last human. Well pony from Earth." Heart Breaker said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Pollution has always been bad, or was when I left, and we as a race were moving to more renewable resources because our coal and other material would run out one day, for we were in a linear system and needed to go into a Closed-loop system to survive over decades and eons and etc. However from the looks of all the red, showing carbon, or a harmful gas, has covered the Earth, so we never did fix it. Just made it worse. The only way anything could survive down there is with some sort of breathing mask or if humanity had terraformed Mars, making the air breathable and safe, for now, against the harmful exposure to radiation from the sun and global pollution like Earth has gone through.." Heart Breaker said. I blinked and everypony went silent again.

"We fucked up so every human may be dead." Heart Breaker said, in simple terms. I understood now and nodded. I aimed my eyes for the gap in the dimension and noticed a bright light shot out of the portal. I saw smoke shoot across the sky and noticed what looked to be a small white box with fire trailing out of its ass was falling from the sky that came from the portal, it was heading toward us and I saw the object getting closer and larger. The thing sped pass our heads and crashed into the ground not to far away, leaving a huge ringing sound in the air and a minor earthquake. We all gasped at the same time.

"Dropship, or whatever they are called. It will have one to three people inside, in wired astronaut gear so don't be alarmed, we should greet them." Heart Breaker said.

"But they might have weapons and crap." I argued.

"No, they are explorers, not fighters." Heart Breaker replied then began to trot toward the crash site. I trusted him still, so followed, soon everypony else did.

The crater the shuttle had formed was rather large and the ship itself had fallen on its side. Smoke brewed from the area and pieces of strange metal littered the ground. This strange cylinder pod thing just sat still, steam and a strange hiss came from it. We all circled the craft just staring, Heart Breaker was closest to it but none of us else dared more closer. After a while more hissing was heard and a small circular hatch thing began to turn, smoke bellowed out of the gap now created and after a few moments, the hatch flipped up, an long white thing reached out and touched the side, then a round black mask-face followed by another long pole. The thing began to slowly pull its way up, a torso of some sort became bigger and longer, then it split in two as two more poles extended. The thing climbed down the shuttle and stepped forward, a strange  figure in white stood before us. It looked upon us, I was ready to fight. The figure looked down on us all.

"Hello kind traveller." Celestia smiled, the figure before us began to scream in panic.
