The ponies and the dirt traders looked at each other, unsure of what to do. To both of the groups they were staring at aliens. For the ponies they were staring at a different breed of Minotaur, and for Sips and Sjin they were staring at something completely new and unheard of, well, except in myths in Tekkitopia.

The first one to react to the spacemen’s abrupt arrival was a purple unicorn with a dark violet mane with a lighter streak of purple and a streak of pink in it. The horn on top of her head began to glow a shade of violet, and when Sips instinctively reached for his sword, he found he couldn’t move.

“Don’t try anything, we aren’t afraid to use the elements against you.” The purple unicorn said, sending them a harsh glare.

Sjin’s eyes widened to the size of dinner plates the weird, four legged purple thing was talking to them. As far as Sjin knew, the only non-sentient beings that could talk without the use of magic or technology were the occasional zombie or creeper. And even then, they couldn’t speak very clearly, or with that much intelligence as to make their words make sense.

“Twilight, darling, you just got over the fact that they might not speak Equestrian. Why in the Celestia’s name are you threatening them?” Asked a white unicorn with a dark purple mane. She was standing on the side looking at her companion with concern

“Y-yeah Twilight, you’re just making them more scared.” Said a timid yellow pony with wings, she was cowering on the floor behind an orange pony, this one not having any wings or a horn.

The purple one looked back at her friends and let out a frustrated sigh. “If you couldn’t speak Equestrian and you saw a flash flood, would you stand there and let it sweep you away?” She looked back at the spacemen and continued to give them a glare. “Now, can you actually understand me?”

Sjin gave her a terrified look. The only other time he had dealt with anyone else with equal power in a dual was when he and Duncan destroyed the Old World, and then the only one that isn’t on friendly terms with him currently in the New World is Rythian, and he doubted that he had enough power to take him on.

Sjin and Sips were completely stripped of their possessions. They didn’t have their weapons with them, and they weren’t wearing their suits of Nano Armor, so if the ponies wanted to hurt them, they could hurt them. And frankly, Sjin did not like being defenseless in a place he didn’t know about.

Of course, Sips hadn’t been in the Old World. He hadn’t known what it was like to be confronted in an extremely large battle, and he wanted to know who had the right to insult the CEO of the biggest dirt trading company, so he wasn’t as scared and decided to respond.

“How are you holding us?” Sips asked, giving the purple unicorn a harsh glare.

The unicorn looked shocked for a moment; after all, it wasn’t every day you talk to an extraterrestrial being from…wherever they came from. But just as quick as the expression of shock came, the glare returned and with it came a harsh tone.

“It’s a holding spell. And just for your information, it’s a very complex spell; I doubt you could be able to break out of it.” Stated the unicorn, a smile forming on her lips. She wanted to ask these things questions without the risk of them running out the door and terrorizing the whole town into panic.

Sjin let out a sigh. Magic, of course she’s using magic to hold us. He quickly glanced down at his hand, silently thanking Notch that he still had his flying ring. He closed his eyes, checking his inventory, and smiled when he saw that he had a decent amount of glowstone to allow him to fly for a good amount of time. If he needed to get out of the thing’s magical grip on him, he could try to resist it by powering his flying ring.

Before the unicorn could ask another question, Sips beat her to the punch.

“Could you tell us where we are, miss…?”

The unicorn still held her position, but a glimmer of amusement appeared in her eyes.

“I’m Twilight, Twilight Sparkle. And you’re in the Golden Oaks library in Ponyville, a small town not that far from Canterlot, the capital of Equestria.”

Sips and Sjin glanced at each other. Wherever the teleporter brought them to, it certainly wasn’t anywhere near Tekkitopia, or Minecraftia for that matter.

Before any of them could react, a certain pink pony began to bounce up and down in front of Sips and Sjin.

“Oh oh oh! Can you tell us your names? What about your birthday, how about your friends? Do you have any friends? Can I throw them a party? How about-“ The pink pony’s barrage of questions were cut short when a zipper appeared out of nowhere and zipped close the pink pony’s lips, successfully silencing her.

Twilight gave the pink pony a harsh look and gently pushed her aside.

“Pinkie, please, I just want to ask them one more thing.” Twilight said. She quickly looked back at Sips and Sjin.

“Now, I assume you’re wondering how you got here, considering that I looked into every book here and I can’t find a single thing on your species.” Before either of the dirt traders could respond, Twilight continued.

“I’m going to tell you two the truth. I don’t really know how you got here, and on that note, I don’t know how to get you back to…wherever it is you two came from. But could you please just give me the basics of who you are? We’ve never seen anything like your species before, or at least nothing has been recorded or put into a book about your kind.”

Sjin gave a little bemused look at the pony. The mare’s personality reminded him of Lalna, the proclaimed ‘mad scientist’ of his friends and also the one who he had fought with in the Old World. He was always striving to learn more about the world, even going to the lengths of trying to capture an Enderman in his testing level of the Jaffa factory, which in truth was probably impossible because they could teleport at will.

Sips and Sjin looked at each other and nodded, they looked back to Twilight.

“What do you want to know?”

Author's Note

Okay, for me this chapter was posted on January 21st, 2013 at 11:42 PM, so I did get it out before the day ended.
Now to address some things!
1) For anyone wondering about where I got the idea of 'closing your eyes will allow you to see your inventory', I got it from another minecraft meets Equestria story called New World by Gyro Steambass. Its actually a good story.
2) The reason why Sips and Sjin are so open to answering the ponies questions are that they are A) Defenseless, B) Weaponless, and C) stranded in a place where they know jack shit about. So they kind of need the ponies help on this one.
3) I'm planning on bringing members of the yogscast in for later chapters and I want to see who you people want to see. I'll only be accepting people with a main tekkit series (like Honeydew Inc., InthelittleCorp., etc.) and will only bring in side characters if I can see them fitting into the story (people like Ravs, Minty, Daltos).

As always, tell me if there are any grammar issues or anything else.
