Canterlot Castle, 4 hours later

"Ok, can somebody... pony... whatever, explain to me how she can defy all the known physics laws in existence" asks a very annoyed Haken, for the fourth time, when a certain pink party pony hauls a cannon from her mane and begins to fire in the Throne Room, effectively hanging around all the supplies for a party.

"Well pardner, here this stays as Pinkie bein' Pinkie" the orange southern mare, Applejack, quickly answers, pointing a hoof at the pink party-planner " b'sides, ya’ll wanna know somethin'? we still don’t know how to explain it."

"Well... at least they are having fun" quickly quipped Rainbow Dash, also pointing at Aschen, who is in her "overdrive" mode, and that means her other personality is in full swing. Dancing and showing her skills, creating null spheres and launching her arms to targets provided by the solar guard (the first time they almost have an heart attack, when suddenly she decided to fire her arm to grab some vase at the other side of the room, without explaining that she can detach her limbs to do coordinated attacks or simply extend her range, and leaving a semi-catatonic Fluttershy in the floor.)

"Crap... she is actually doing null spheres?... damn it’s dangerous, I’d better stop her", Haken says as he slowly stands up and begins walking to his friend. Getting some odd glares from both alicorn princess’s, and a relieved one from Twilight Sparkle.

"Aschen, better stop that before you hurt somebo-somepony, you know that we aren’t here to entertain the locals, and besides that, we have already wasted enough time as it is fighting against Snow White and her sister."

"Awww captain, you are no fun, besides I have them perfectly controlled... see?" quickly answers Aschen, smiling almost madly while doing tricks with the grey-dark spheres, effectively tossing them in the air and catching at the same time.

"I don’t care if you have perfect control over them, it’s dangerous, honestly i cannot say why you are in overdrive or what in the world Marion was thinking when she installed you with that dark matter driver"

"Excuse me, but what is a dark matter driver?" asked Twilight and Luna at the same time, suddenly interested in the topic at hand.

"Ahh... well I’m not aware about the scientific aspects...Hmmm... Do you know about supernovas or black holes? asks the white haired man, smiling smugly "It’s okay if you don’t, and I’ll be..."

"Actually, we do" Luna answers quickly, also smiling "just because our little ponies can't travel to space yet, doesn't mean that we don’t know about the stars."

"Well... interesting. Anyways, a dark matter driver is like a giant supernova and a black hole combined in a engine, the output energy is stable enough to transform it in to electricity, or in Aschen’s case, in to a defensive countermeasure known as the null spheres."

"And, if i may ask, how dangerous it is?" quickly adds Celestia, already bored with the antics of Pinkie Pie and Aschen.

Before the cowboy could answer, Aschen misses one of the spheres, and when it hits the wall the orb disintegrates, with half of the same wall and all that stands at least at 5 meter radius of the point of impact.

"Ehh... that dangerous."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"THAT... WAS... AWESOME!!!... please do it again, do it again" almost yelled Rainbow Dash, the massive damage almost unnoticed as she was hopping like Pinkie Pie.

A chorus of claps sound when the hooves (and hands) of all the presents in the throne room meet their faces

"Better not Skittles, and besides we don’t have any currency to pay for the damages, and I do not believe that Snow White here likes that we leave the palace as Swiss cheese" quickly says Haken, gaining a new glare from Twilight, Aschen, who was already back to normal, and Shining Armor, and a little snort from Luna.

"Well my little ponies and guests, i think it is best we call it a night and hit the hay. Tomorrow i want to make a proposition for you two" says Celestia, pointing a golden horseshoe to the human and his companion, "Anyways, all the castle staff knows you both already and will help you two in any way possible while you are here in Canterlot."

"Thank you, your highness, my most sincere apologies for my captain’s behaviour, he actually doesn't like formalities."

"Hey... i didn't blow up half a wall for having fun" quickly steams Haken.

As the human, the android and all the bearers left the throne room, Celestia’s mood changes, the neutral face switching to a pensive one and she begins to form another plan in her mind. While she begins to trot to her room, finally the greatest question of all ponykind was answered, they are not alone in the universe, and apparently...

“Thou art thinking of sending the element bearers with those two to their world, aren’t thou?" Luna asks, interrupting the train of thought of the solar diarch.

"First thing I thought was tagging myself with both Haken and Aschen, but the prospect of leaving my little ponies without one of the regents came to me. After that I thought of sending you instead but that won't work either, besides finally we got our answer. We are not alone, and I think who better to integrate us to all the universe than the element bearers themselves, besides, there is no immediate danger for us here. So we can let them go on an adventure like nopony has seen before." quickly answers Celestia, "besides Lulu, you are reverting to old equish again."

"hehe... sorry... Snow White... pfffHAHAHAHAHA..."

"Oh shut up Luna!!!!"

Canterlot Castle, the next day

Usually, when you wake up, you need to make clear your own priorities. For Haken Browning, those priorities usually start with a cup of coffee, a good girl, and something to pass the early morning hours. This day, however, was one of the weirdest for him, when he is awakened by a ponymaid named Dusty Cleaner... that is, before his brain starts and he remembers all the events of the previous day

"Hmmmm... another adventure, geez i'm too old for this, Cross Gating without destination, a wild card if you ask me" the white-haired man mumbles to himself "Now, what possible thing is Snow White gonna ask me ."

"Good morning, captain." Aschen makes herself known at the end of the guest rooms, "hope that you have had a good night of sleep."

"Hey cinderella, what's up" the cowboy quickly answers, "and before you answer that question, where i can get some eggs or whatever they cooked for breakfast."

"Good morning to both of you, Haken, Aschen, how are you?" asks one of Twilight friends, Rarity, if Haken remembers correctly.

"Can’t complain, little lady, i was on my way to get some food, wanna tag along?"

"Sure, i would love the company, because Applejack snored last night, I couldn’t get my beauty sleep." the alabaster unicorn begins to complain , also guiding the human and his android to the main dining room. "Besides, all the others are there waiting for all of us, apparently Princess Celestia wants to ask both of you something important."

"Well, we have some spare time, knowing that Bomber lady isn't here, so i think we can eat breakfast and get the Cross Gate later for returning to our world." Haken says, opening the doors at the same time

"And that is precisely, the topic that i want to discuss with you both" states Celestia, smiling broadly to both the humans and the white mare, who slightly bows to her sovereign.

"Interesting, apparently the walls arent soundproofed here" states Aschen in her monotone voice, "still, if you want to ask us anything, as the captain bluntly says, what's up for us"

"Direct, and to the point, as always, fair Aschen" Luna says, eyeing the android a little, "My sister and I both want to ask you if you could..."

"Before you end your majesties, if you want us to escort any possible ambassadors to the rest of the Endless Frontier, you need to know that it is dangerous" Haken interrupts Luna, gaining a glare from the remaining ponies, and a little shocked expression from Twilight Sparkle's brother. "The Endless Frontier basically is a vast territory, wild and untamed in some places, heavy populated in others, where the beauty and the danger walk with each other holding hands, and I know that maybe your ambassadors themselves need to fight, and eventually, to "eliminate" some of the dangers that we may encounter, sorry if I am a little blunt, but that is what has kept me alive all this time."

"I understand your reasons perfectly Captain, and I wish to expand our knowledge of all the other species on these worlds. That’s why I want to ask you to escort the element bearers as our Equestrian ambassadors to the Endless Frontier." Celestia states, stunning all the audience with her proclamation.

After 2 seconds of an unnatural silence, 4 of the mares in the room fainted.
