The Shas’Kai was slowly being dragged towards the warp rip created by The Righteous Vengeance. Even having the engines at full power was doing nothing to change their course.

Kor’El was standing on the bridge slowly watching the rip as it started, one by one, devouring other ships, he knew that they couldn’t escape the rip’s clutches. He continued watching as a Tyranid Hive ship, which was just a head of his own, was slowly sucked into the-

I -the writer- was suddenly flung backwards, causing him to fall onto the wooden floor with a loud ‘thud’. What caused him to get flung back was a surprisingly familiar pink pony when her head suddenly smashed through the computer screen.

“What you doing?” asked the pink pony with an enormous grin that defied all possibility.

“Pinkie Pie!” said the writer picking himself off the ground and putting the chair back into place.

“What did I do wrong?”

Before I could even respond Pinkie’s head did an entire 180 degree twist. I just looked at her perplexed by the action.

“What’s this you’re writing? What’s a Tyranid Hive Ship? Is it friendly? Please let it be friendly? Please? Please?”

I twist Pinkie’s head so that it is around the right way before I answer her.

“I am writing about what happened to the Shas’Kai after The Righteous Vengeance imploded and what he does when he ends up in the Equestrian Universe and what the Princesses point of view of their first encounter. Hang on, why am I telling you all this”.

“I don’t know but can I write something?”

But before I could say ‘No’, Pinkie flicks the keyboard up with a hoof. The keyboard slammed into my chin, knocking me back onto the floor.

“Sorry”

Pinkie Pie starts pressing down on the keyboard with a hoof while I get up, again.

“Why are the button thingies too small? Why can’t they be hoof sized? It is alright for you because to have hands. Hey I just had a super-duper amazing idea. You should come with me so you can show Lyra your hands. She would love them”

I quickly grab the keyboard form Pinkie and place it somewhere out of her reach.

“Hay! I was using that you big meanie. Give it back”

“Nope! You, little filly are going back into my story where you came from”

I put one hand on Pinkie face while the other grabs onto the computer screen to hold it still. I start trying to push as hard as I can. A few minutes later and I’m still trying to push her back it.

“Why is this not working?”

“Well der! It isn’t working because you wrote me breaking through your computer screen. You have to write to get me back into the story”

I just stare at her for a few seconds. I slowly release my grip from the screen and her face. I pick the keyboard, look down at it and type ‘Pinkie Pie returns back through the screen and back into my story’. When I look up I give a sigh of relief, she had finally gone.

“Next time I am definitely paying the extra $74.95 for the unbreakable 4th wall security system”

Now that I have gotten the urge to break the 4th wall out of my system, where was I? That’s it; the Shas’Kai was just sucked into the warp.

All the Tau on board the Shas’Kai were extremely confused with what was happening to them right now. None of them had physically been in the warp before. Well that have reverse engineered Imperial Warp Drives but because they don’t feel the presence of the Warp they have never been able to phase completely into it.

All of them could feel the endless chaotic sea of emotion flying around them. What the Tau didn't realize is that they were really lucky right now. If it was not for the Shadow in the Warp from the various Hive Ships that entered the rip, all the Tau on board would have currently been going became insane. The Shadow also caused fewer daemons to attack the Shas’Kai, making the ship easier to defend. Another thing that was also in their favor was how they were riding the Warp currents.

When the Shas’Kai finally entered the new universe. Even though a dozen other ships where sucked in before the Shas'kai, the Warp currents somehow made the shipi come out 3rd, a few hours behind The Righteous Vengeance and The Nighthunter. The length of the trip itself was somehow different for every one of the Tau, for some it was only five minutes while for others it took 2 months.

Looking around the command deck, Kor’El could see that everyone else was just as confused as he was. He quickly ordered a report of casualties and damages. To his surprise and good fortune nothing on the Shas’Kai had suffered major damage and that they had only lost a few Fire Warriors from the small groups of daemons that they encounter. The only thing that was a real problem was that it took nearly an hour to restart all the ships systems.

The two Princesses had just finished recovering from the magical strain they have put on themselves. Many other unicorns were still unconscious from the effort that they put into diverting the objects course away from Canterlot.

Celestia had ordered Shining Armour to assemble a group of guards to accompany them to the mysterious object. In front of her stood twenty of Canterlot’s finest royal guards all standing at attention.

“You all probably know why you’re all gathered here today,” addressed Celestia, “You are all wondering what that strange object is and that is why you a gathered here today. In a short moment my sister and I will teleport as all next to the object. Your main mission is the secure whatever that thing is and try to figure out if it is a threat to Equestria. Is everything clear?”

“Yes Princess”, replied all the guards in unison.

Celestia turned her head to Luna then nodded. Both their horns started glowing with magic. An aurora of gold and midnight blue engulfed the two princesses and the guards. With a sudden ‘Puff’ the two princess and all the guards were gone.

They reappeared as suddenly as the vanished but this time they were standing next to the crashed object. All of them looked at it in total awe and open mouths. The object was massive, incredibly massive, it dwarfed everything other than the mountain that it was now half buried into. Just looking at the object hurt their eyes it was so detailed; more detailed than everything else on the planet. It smelled to, the smell was so strange to them that they couldn’t even name it.

“Luna, take some guards and head towards the mountain,” ordered Celestia, “I will go in the other direction. See if we can find a way into this thing”

Luna nodded at the order and started choosing some guards to take with her. Before she could leave there was a loud screeching noise and something that appeared to be a door of some sort, began to open.

“We found one”, said Luna with a small grin on her face, Celestia just shook her head in response.

As the supposed door began to open the guards formed up and pointed their weapons at the inside of the object. The doors opened to reveal a substantial open space and two bipedal creatures pointing strange objects at them. They just stood there staring at the two creatures for a few second before Celestia finally spoke.

“Who are you? Why have you come to Equestria?”
