(Edited) The Revolution of the Century
Unusual guests in an unusual afternoon
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTranslocation Completed!
It was a sunny day in Ponyville. Nothing showed, that a disaster awaited. The Mane 6 were making a little walk near the edge of the Everfree forest. Rainbow Dash had just learnt Twilight how to fly. She had wings, and she should of used them or lose them- that's the way she joked. Right now, she taught her how to buck the thunder clouds. When they got near the forest, Twilight saw a storm cloud over the forest.
So, Rainbow Dash, I guess this little cloud over there will be a perfect proof, that I have learned how to buck these thunder clouds!
Sure, Twi.
Twilight smiled and flew to the cloud. She bucked it. But the cloud didn't dissapear. Instead a lightning struck Twilight and she fell to the ground.
Don't worry, it happens to all of us the first time ! - smiled Dash at her.
Hey, Twi, what's happening to this cloud? - asked Spike
Twilight looked at the cloud. It spread really quickly and started to strike the nearby trees a lot more often than a usual cloud would of.
Hmmm, that's strange.
Twilight, LOOK OUT!!!- screamed Rarity.
The purple alicorn quickly turned around. She had just 1 second. She quickly ran from that spot. The next moment it was struck by lightning.
- They usually strike the highest point around. That is really strange .- nodded Dash
But Rainbow Dash fooled herself. That was no lightning. Twilight came to this:
- No, Rainbow, that is no lightning. It has been here for almost 5 Seconds and no lightning strikes for that long. Second, lightnings have more irregular shapes. This here lookes more like a beam of some kind.
All ponies gathered around the beam. When they looked up, they saw, that it wasn't coming from the cloud. It was coming from way higher.
They suddenly heard voices in there. The voices continued to speak at least 5 Seconds.
- What is this thing anyway, Twi? - asked Applejack
Twilight was getting ready to answer, when suddenly the beam stopped and send a powerful shockwave around itself, throwing all the ponies 20 feet backwards.
When they came back to the place, they heard the same voices, but this time more clear:
I should of never agreed for such thing! What have you been thinking!
All I know is, that is the fastest way to travel.
And all I know is, that you've risked your own life just to get here fast enough!
Come on, Luna! You've always been the more adventorous one!
But not the crazier one, Celestia!
As Twilight and the rest heard the princesses' names, they got on the edge of the crater, that the beam created, and saw a really angry Luna yelling at her sister.
The Princesses saw the group. Luna immeadiatly stopped yelling, and Celestia spoke:
- Ah, good morning!
It was obvious, that everybody expected an explanation.
- Yes, yes, explain them now, sister,- Luna was now happy- , explain them everything!
Celestia looked worried. After a minute of silence, she finally said something:
- Ow, it's nothing special!- said she and got some kind of mashine behind her back,
Everypony looked at the mashine. It was shiny, made out of metal and looked really strange. It had some kind of arcs around it and a middle sized display. On it Twilight could read:
" Professional Translocator v. 2. Translocation with destination "Ponyville" completed. Press the red button to perform the next translocation"
Ah, Princess, may I ask what does "Translocator" mean? - asked Rainbow Dash
Well, it is a extremly complicated particle teleport device, working with a satelite.
A what?
I guess I'll have to explain it the long way. It is a device, which shatters your body into very small elementary particles, called atoms. Each one has a special code. The satelite " Moon 2" detects the combination and sucks all the particles in the area of the translocator into it. Then it reads the code of a special code in one of the atoms and sends all the particles to another place, which is actually this one, that you had earlier set on the translocator. When these particles hit the ground, a construction beam is fired from the satelite at these particles. It takes near 10 Seconds to construct the particles in their former order, which is possible because of the codes. By the way, a satelite is something like the moon, but it is smaller, has an irregular form and it is made by a pony hoof.
WOW, Princess, I never knew, that something like this ever existed! I read about it only in the sci-filly novels!- Twilight spoke first. She was really exited.
Actually, they officialy don't. It is top secret. And it is way complicated to produce. This is the only copy we have. It is bild by a genius.
And who is that genius? - Twilight asked.
I'll tell you all when we get to the library. I think it gets too windy out here, - said Celestia while she looked at these clouds. Only Luna, Cadence, Shining Armour and she herself knew about the Primal Storm - , so we should be going!
OK. Follow me, Princesses!- yelled Rainbow Dash and quickly flew to the nearest tree - Coming?
The two royalties followed Twilight and the others. They walked 17 feet behind them, so they can't hear what the two alicorns were talking about.
Luna, they shouldn't know anythimg about this storm until I decide. The rebell is quite enough of trouble for now!
OK, sister.
Coming?- asked Twilight and turned back
Yes, coming!- answered Celestia and quickly followed them.
