'I'm falling aren't I?' I ask myself, as I feel a sinking sensation in my stomach. I try to open my eyes, but I barely manage. As my eyes flutter open, I'm met by what seems like thousands of error screens and warning notices. The visual bombardment forces me to redirect my vision away from my visor screen. I look behind me and I see all of the debris following me down. Various pieces of metal, concrete, and my V.E.C.T.O.R.. I turn back to my useless screen and I sigh. I decide to depolarize it due to my sim-feed being damaged. As the blueish screen faded away, I finally get to see my crash landing destination.

The planet before me looks a lot like the pictures of Earth I used to view in dossiers. Having to settle for old photos from outdated satellites wasn't as interesting as the real thing, however Earth no longer existed after having been turned to ash after years of warfare.

I drive my thoughts away from the past and focus on the problem at hand. I was beginning to enter the planet’s atmosphere and I was afraid I would break apart upon entry, however I seem to be able to divert the suits power systems enough for me to activate the cooling systems. I sigh deeply, ready to finally let go. I knew I would be able to survive the heat, but the fall? Hell no. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

‘Co-ing in f-for-or entry e-e-entry Ios...’ My broken A.I. informs me. I sigh again and close my eyes. I retract my helmet and let my stark white locks flap wildly around my face as I fall to my final resting place. I open my eyes, my augmented crimson irises taking in the landscape below. ‘Such a beautiful shade of green...’ I muse. A droplet of water beside my face break my thoughts. ‘A...tear?’ I wonder. ‘Why am I crying? I’m finally free from this life!’

And then it hit me. I may have lived a life, but it sure as hell wasn't worth living. I’m crying because I’m going to lose the only life I’ve had, and probably ever would have had. I was made for killing, nothing more. The only thing I had to show for parents were the scientists that gave their genes to make me with. I never heard a ‘I love you’ or ‘I’m proud of you’. No, only ‘Just sit down and be still’ or ‘Stop your damn whining, it’s only a little blood’.

No one wanted to be around me. I was freakishly strong, I had wings, my eyes were red and my hair was white. Hell, my pale skin didn't really help much either. People just gave me fearful looks if even did so much as smile due to my enlarged canines. And just to put the icing on the cake, they gave me the callsign ‘Archangel’’. I’m fucking serious. I sighed again. ‘It’s go time...’ My helmet automatically reformed due to the extreme heat. I still leave my visor depolarized as I fall to my demise.

My mag-shields are whining under the extreme stress as I realize they are failing. “Oh shi-” I barely say as they burn away leaving my armor completely exposed against the heat. My armor begins to glow a deadly orange. “No...not like this!” I exclaim as the armor begins to melt. “AUUUUGH!!!” I scream as my nerves writhe in agony. I scream so loud that I failed to hear the impact warning. I can barely ready myself for another wail of pain as the world goes black.

...In Ponyville...

Twilight paced nervously in her library, she had seen the falling debris go over into the Everfree Forest, however she didn’t know how to go about looking for it. She sighed. “Spike! Have you gotten a letter from the Princesses yet?”

“No Twilight, I think you should just calm down and wait for them to show up with the Elements of Harmony. You’re really stressing yourself over nothing. Besides, it came from space, what’s the worst that could happen ya know?” Spike replied, trying to calm Twilight down.

“I’m actually surprised you’re not being hysterical about this considering how many of those ridiculous sci-fi comics you read all day.” Twilight said, surprised at Spike’s maturity.

“I may be young, but living around you has taught me although anything can happen, you can easily take care of it. So even if it was Gamma Alien Tentacles from Starship 443 I know you could handle them if they were hostile.” Spike answered. Twilight blushed.

“Thanks...” Twilight said. Spike shrugged. “Hey do you think tha-” Twilight tried to ask but was interrupted by a bright flash. Twilight’s eyes widened in surprise. Before her stood the the Princesses both Night and Day. “Omigoshomigoshomigoshomigoshomigosh!! P-Princess Celestia a-and P-P-Princess Luna? What are you two d-doing here?” Twilight stutters.

“We got your report on the strange debris falling in the Everfree and decided to come explore it along with you. We’ve brought Captain Shining Armor as well as a squadron of Royal Guards to help us subdue any creatures along the way. They should arrive soon.” Princess Celestia answers. She nods as Princess Luna brings forth a heavily adorned chest and sets it before Twilight. Suddenly, the library door flies open as the remaining Element Bearers and a squadron of Royal Guards trot into the room.

“Twilight!” Rainbow Dash and Shining Armor exclaim in unison, “We came as soon as we heard!” They flashed each other incredulous looks, surprised at their little incident.

“Ahem! Well...” Rainbow Dash started nervously. Everyone stared at her awkwardly. Applejack saw that her friend was in trouble and decided to throw her a lifeline.

“Well now ah reckon we aughta get goin’, seein’ we’re burnin’ daylight over here!”

“Yes I must say I agree with Applejack. Although I hate dealing with that horrid forest and all of it’s unwanted...grime”, Rarity shuddered but put on a determined face, “We have a duty to complete and I intend to complete it!” She said stomping her hoof down with finality.

“OOOOOH!! Will there be any aliens?! And if there are do you think they’ll want a ‘Welcome To Equuis Party?!?!?” Pinkie Pie questioned excitedly, bouncing around the room.

“And the hoof goes right back in ya mouth...” Applejack responded shoving an orange hoof in Pinkie’s mouth.

“Oh! I wonder what type of animals I will encounter on our way there...” Fluttershy thought aloud. She looked up in surprise after realizing everyone was staring at her after hearing her musings. Her gaze darted back and forth between everyone fearfully and she curled up and squeaked in surprise.

“Oooookaaaay...” Shining Armor trailed off. The princesses giggled at the spectacle. He looked at the group with determination. “Are you all ready to head out?” He asked. He received all types of confirmations before nodding his head. “Okay then...Let’s go...” He added darkly.

...Somewhere in the Everfree...

‘Activating cardiac defibrillator...’
