First there was silence at what had just occurred. Then panic. But then the mayor calmed everyone down, Then walked over to Twilight and asked:

"What is that thing, Princess", she asked " I've never seen anything like it."

"I could say the same thing, Mayor. I have no clue what it is."

"Well what do we do? Do you have any ideas?" the mayor asked.

"I'm thinking. Well it looks like it needs help, we could take it to the hospital" ,Twilight responded "and after that I could contact Princess Celestia."

"Very well, Princess Twilight, I'll send everypony home and then I'll see what I can do about that machine that crashed here." The mayor said, and walked off to start telling everypony to go back home.

"OK, girls I'm going to need some help here." Twilight called to her friends.

"Sure Twi', so we taking that critter to the hospital?" AppleJack asked "seems strange since we've never seen anthin' like it."

"Yea, what if they can't do anything with it", said Rainbow Dash "It's a hospital meant for pony's not weird aliens!"

"Well, you have a better idea? Fluttershy can you take care of it? Twilight asked the pony.

"Umm I don't think so Twilight, I've never seen any strange animal like that before." Fluttershy answered.

"OK then, hospital here we come." Twilight said as she started levitating the creature into the air.

After about 30 minutes of long walking and helping each other carry the alien, the hospital came into view.

"Finally", said Rainbow Dash "this was taking way too long."

"You can say that again" Twilight added.

"Oh well, at least we're here gal's" said AppleJack "Now let's see what they can do."

They walked into the hospital, the receptionist looked up, saw 6 ponies and a strange alien creature and grew pale. Then said:

"Hello and welcome, but can I ask what is that thing, Princess?" she asked.

"We don't even know ourselves what it is", Twilight said "but we see that it needs help now."

The receptionist grew even more pale: "Very well then." Then she cleared her throat and spoke into a microphone in a very tiny voice:

"Doctor Statas please come to operation room 3a, thank you. And can I please get a doctor for a.... patient needing emergency care now please."

Then a crew of nurses and a doctor came, stared, and the doctor promptly said:

"What is that?" He asked, staring at the alien.

"Its a long story all we know is that it needs help now so can you please do that so we can answer that question for ourselves?" Twilight answered.

"W-well of course Princess.", the doctor said, after he regained his composure, then turned to his assistants and said:

"Alright, this will be quite a learning experience for us." then he turned back to Twilight and said:

"We will try to everything we can, Princess." Then he took the creature, and started giving orders to his assistants as he walked away

As soon as Twilight got home, she ran to Spike before he even said hello and said:

"Spike, take a letter."

"Alright twilight, whats the rush?" he said as he took out a piece of paper and a quill.

"I'll explain later Spike just write this down.

Dear Princess Celestia

How are you? I'm fine but I have a very strange matter to tell you about.

Today was the "Pony of Ponyvile" award day and while at the ceremony, a strange alien craft crashed into Town hall!

It clearly looked more advanced than us, but it was wounded and needed help urgently.

We took it to the hospital, where they say their doing everything they can, and strangely enough, seem to be helping.

But we still don't know what it is and we need your help.

Sincerely your's

Princess Twilight Sparkle

"Wow Twilight", Spike said after sending the letter "a real alien? what did it look like? Did it shoot lasers from its eyes? Is it-"

"No Spike", Twilight interrupted " it simply crashed into the ground and got out from some kind of machine. But it was hurt so we took it to the hospital. We really didn't know what else to do. By the way, what happened to that thing that crashed at town hall?"

"I don't know I think its still there, the mayor said she couldn't move it, or something." Spike replied.

"Hmm, well alright then, I'll go get a closer look at that machine see you later Spike."

Once Twilight made it to the crash site she found it had been closed off and the mayor standing next to it.

"Hello Princess", the mayor said, bowing "I figure you're here for a closer look?"

"Actually, yes I am. May i get through?" Twilight asked.

"Why of course, please just go over the border."

Twilight then stepped over the small wall that closed off the area- which was in bad shape since it had been hit by something falling from space. Twilight was most surprised to see that the crashed...vehicle it seemed- and one capable of flying. It clearly looked far more advanced than anything they currently had in terms of technology. It was mainly gold, but had blue wings that faced backwards and had a triangular shaped front and at the back, what appeared to be engines. All of it was beyond what Twilight could comprehend. "If this creature can speak with us....imagine what it could share.. Twilight then realized something.

"Why is this still here?" Twilight asked.

"Because we can't move it", replied the mayor " when we tried to lift it, or even get closer to it, it would let out a blue field of some sort that prevented us from moving it. After a few tries we gave up there's no way to move it unless that alien can. Speaking of which, how did your trip go?"

"I got a message from the hospital", Twilight said, "and they said they had been able to bandage up his wounds but they don't know what else they can do, but for now it seems to be working."

"Very well then, I shall take my leave now, Princess. Goodnight." The mayor said as she started walking back to her house.

"I guess I better head on back home. There will be more time for questions tomorrow." Twilight thought to herself, then turned around and started down the path back to the library.

"When Twilight got back home, she was greeted by Spike, who, as soon as she got home, ran up to her and said:

"Twilight, your back. Well I just got a reply from Princess Celestia." He said as he pulled out a scroll and gave it to her.

"Thank you Spike." Twilight said. she opened up the letter and began to read.

Dear Princess Twilight

This is certainly very important news!

I can hardly believe we have been visited by a creature from another world. It is simply fascinating!

I am also glad that you were able to help the visitor and I hope for the best.

I would also like you to know I will be coming to Ponyvile tomorrow to investigate and greet this alien.

Princess Celestia

Twilight put the letter down.

"Well what does it say" Spike asked.

"She said shes coming to Ponyvile tomorrow to meet the alien." Twilight responded.

"Well you could go check on it, see if its OK?" Spike suggested.

"OK I guess i better check up on him before the Princess comes tomorrow." Twilight said as she walked out the door.

Twilight had walked to the hospital with Fluttershy, who had been about to go to ask for a book, but instead had decided to go to join her. As they walked in through the doors, the receptionist asked:

"Are you here to see somepony, Princess?"

"Yes, we're here to see that creature that we brought in earlier today." Twilight answered.

"Very well hes in room 4a in the emergency center." The receptionist said after a brief look at her clipboard.

"Thank you, nurse." Twilight said as she and Fluttershy began to follow the signs to the room.

Twilight was about to enter through the door to the room when the doctor from earlier this day stumbled through.

"Oh terribly sorry, Princess." he said as he stepped to the side.

"Its alright doctor I'm just here to check on the patient in this room." Twilight said.

The doctor's eyes widened as he spoke:

"Oh its simply one of the most stunning creatures I've ever seen, albeit strange, but simply fascinating."

"Really? How so? Other than the fact than he walks on two legs." Twilight questioned.

"Well I guess you can come see for yourself, Princess. Please follow me." He said as he held the door open for them.

As they walked in, Twilight noticed that the creature was clearly something unlike anything she had ever seen before. For starters, it was incredibly large and scaled, and its long legs and thick, muscled arms hung off the bed. But maybe the strangest and most shocking thing was its face; it had no mouth, ears, or nose but it did have a strange crest extending from the back of its very large head.

"These creatures must be incredibly intelligent." Twilight thought to herself "Imagine what we could learn!"

"Wow it looks....scary." Fluttershy commented. She was right. It had.... four claws on each hand("that's the right word ,right?"she thought to herself) that looked very sharp.

"Well you wont have to worry, its been unconscious the whole time its been here." The doctor said to Fluttershy.

"Its so fascinating isn't it? To see such a strange creature so different from what we'er used to." The doctor said.

"You got that right. But how is he coming along, doctor?" Twilight asked.

"Oh well he had a nasty cut on his right leg and arm, as well as a concussion, from what I suppose was the incident that happened this morning. But we managed to patch him up and we're currently hoping for him to wake up." The doctor said.

"Well I would like to thank you for trying so hard doctor and I would like to tell you that Princess Celestia is coming tomorrow to see this creature for herself.

"The doctor's eyes widened "T-the Princess here? Well what an honor. Very well thank you Princess Twilight I'll make sure to be ready tomorrow then."

Twilight and Fluttershy both said their thanks to the doctor as they left the hospital. As they were walking back to Ponyvile Twilight turned to Fluttershy and asked:

"Isn't it exciting? Imagine all we could learn from it!"

"Well uh sure.... its just aren't you scared it looked really big and scary." Fluttershy responded.

"I'm sure its nice, I mean, come on we saved its life. It can't be angry with us for that, can it?"

"I guess... oh i just don't know Twilight I mean sure we could learn a lot from it but we don't even know what it is." Fluttershy said.

"Yes and that's why we're going to ask it some questions tomorrow, Fluttershy. So we can figure out just what it is."

"Oh, OK, I see your point. Goodnight Twilight."

"Goodnight Fluttershy." Twilight said back "See you tomorrow."

As Twilight settled into bed, she couldn't help thinking about the upcoming day.

"Oh this is going to be so exciting." she thought to herself "I just can't wait to see what it has to say. Imagine all that we could learn and who knows, maybe there are other kinds of creatures out in space."

Her dreams that night were filled with space and the unknown.

Darkness then a bright flash of light as Torcannas awoke.

He was alone. In a bed. But just where was he?

Then his memory came flooding back to him:

Attacked.

A sudden defeat, and a malfunction.

Then speeding towards the surface a unknown planet, certain he was going to die.

Well he hadn't, apparently. His armor had been removed but he felt bandages on his wounds, so wherever he was wasn't hostile. Yet. But just what kind of creatures lived here? He supposed he would find out now. But he was too weak to raise himself from the bed, however, and fell back before darkness overtook him.
