Emergency Landing

  It was a silent night out in the peaceful town of Ponyville. Most ponies were now asleep. Silence reigned over town and the only sounds were from the crickets chirping. The streets were barely illuminated by lights and the moon shone over the town, providing a peaceful ambiance. However, all of that silence was immediately drowned out by the sound of something in the sky humming loudly. As it got louder, ponies started leaving their homes to see what all the din was being created by. To their shock, a series of lights circled the town high above Ponyville, shaking as it flew. It seemed to be getting closer to the ground. The citizens started conversing about what the object might have been, or what it may be doing.

  Suddenly, the large winged metal object sharply turned downwards, spiraling towards the ground. Parts of it ripped off as if it was caught in a powerful whirlwind. They expected the strange object to hit the ground, but the large metallic thing regained control and flew towards the town. The humming filled the air, getting loud enough to the point where a blind pony could have thought there was a tornado outside. The object zoomed overhead, barely above the homes. The citizens ducked and covered their heads by reaction as the large object passed overhead. An object ripped off the plane and crashed the river next to the town hall with a loud metallic bang and a shower of water spraying anyone unlucky enough to have been near it. Panic started to fill the town as they saw the object land in a field outside town, sliding along the ground.

  "What was that!?" One pony yelled, terrified.

  "I think it might have been a dragon!" A stallion guessed, looking at the distant object gliding across the ground.

  "Dragons don't drop anything like that!" A mare loudly replied.

  Everypony went up to the cylindrical object half sunken into the river. Ponies whispered among eachother as they guessed at what the object was. A hole in the center showed a large fan, still slightly spinning. Red liquid, reflected by the lights, was splattered on the inside, as if someone threw a barrel of tomatoes into it while it spun. The citizens hoped it wasn't what they thought it was.

  Fluttershy stared at the large metallic thing mere yards away from her. She was paralyzed with shock at how it hadn't ran over her when it landed. It's size would've made a whale lose a size competition, and it had several parts shredded off. There was even a hole ripped out in the side near the front of the left wing. The wings had cylindrical fans under the wings, but one on the left wing seemed to be missing. She noticed a door in the side open as a slide slid down towards the ground, startling her. Several creatures hastily came out and slid down the slide, and scrambled away from the plane. Several looked injured, and one was even being dragged by another, and it had one of it's legs bent in a way which made her cringe just by looking at it. All of the creatures wore clothing, and they all seemed panicked. They never seemed to notice her, even with one of the spotlights at the nose of the colossal white and blue winged object shining on her. They just seemed focused on getting as far away as possible from the object. She didn't know why they were, but she was sure it was for a good reason. She followed two uniformed creatures, the last ones out. She went up to one of them reluctantly as they slowed to a walk, and poked one of them with her hoof. The creature spun around and looked at her.

  "What the hell?" He muttered, "Are those wings?"

  "I think so..." The other creature replied as he knelt down and rubbed against Fluttershy's tucked wings, causing her to cringe. "Hey, calm down. I'm not gonna hurt you."

  "Uh... What are you..?" Fluttershy shyly asked, looking up at the two creatures. The one rubbing her wing stopped and yelped.

  "Holy shit! It talked!" It yelled.

  "Of course I talked..." Fluttershy meakly responded. "Did I scare you? I'm sorry..."

  The two creatures stared at her in shock, unable to move. After what was a long silence, one of them spoke up.

  "What in the name of god are you?" He muttered.

  "I'm... I'm Fluttershy."

  "Not your name, I mean what are you?"

  "I'm a pegasus pony."

  "A pegasus named Fluttershy, huh? Cute name." One of the creatures said. "Do you know where we are? We were flying from Miami to Lisbon. Some bright light blinded us while we were over the ocean and the next thing we know, we're having severe turbulence. Not only that, but we lost radar contact and one of the engines. Thank goodness these things are handled to fly with only three engines."

  Fluttershy raised an eyebrow upon hearing the two cities,

  "I'm afraid I never heard of those places before... Sorry..." She answered, nervously scraping the ground with one of her hooves.

  "Is there a town nearby then? Several people were injured and I think a ton of them got killed when the plane spiraled out of control. We barely gave any time to warn them to wear seat belts. I think we have about only 54 people, including the injured ones."

  "Um... There's a town not to far from here called Ponyville... It's just down this path."

  One of the creatures covered his mouth and started chuckling. The other creature glared at his buddy and looked back at Fluttershy.

  "Okay, I need you to go get some doctors. We have several injured people here. Stay away from the plane also, just to be safe."

  "I'll go get you all help as soon as I can!" Fluttershy replied before running off to Ponyville.

  "I can't believe we just had a conversastion with a horse." One of the creatures muttered as he watched Fluttershy gallop off until she was out of view.

  "Neither can I" The other one replied, crossing his arms.

  Fluttershy galloped toward Ponyville, her heart pounding against her rib cage. Her legs were sore and her throat was burned by the cold night air, but she didn't care about any of that. Those creatures needed help, and fast.

  She went across a bridge and saw a crowd of ponies next to the river looking at an object similar to the ones she saw on the vehicle the creatures came out of. She ignored it, and continued to run towards the hospital. She ran as fast as she could. She didn't want to stop. She needed to help those creatures.

  "Fluttershy! Where are ya going?" She heard Applejack ask. She turned around and saw Twilight trot over to her. "Ah was so worried about ya! Ah thought that thing was going to hit your home!"

  "No time to explain!" Fluttershy instructed quickly. "There were some creatures in the thing that were injured and they need medical attention as soon as possible! We got to get to the hospital!"

  Applejack immediatly knew how serious Fluttershy was. She nodded firmly as she galloped off with Fluttershy towards Ponyvile hospital.
