//------------------------------// // A Chaotic Arrival // Story: N.C.I.S The Magic Chronicals // by typervader //------------------------------// Twilight Sparkle had just found a unique book written about chaos magic and wanted to understand it more. She had sent a letter to Princess Celestia about the book on chaos magic and asked if it would be alright if she studied it. After she received a response to her request, with the addition to not attempt any spells she came across without supervision from Discord, then she could study the book. Over the course of a few weeks, Twilight found more theory about chaos magic and how it worked. The author of the book went into detail about how chaos magic seemed to have a mind of its own, something Twilight seriously doubted, but before she could wonder who wrote the book she found a few spells the author said could be used with less magic cost than the usual magic. The first few spells the book held seemed to be variations of her regular spells like levitation and transformation. It also had a teleportation spell that was said to be able to teleport anyone great distances without disorienting them. Testing the first two spells, with Discords help, of course, Twilight began to feel strange but shrugged it off thinking the author was wrong about the cost effectiveness of chaos magic. Before Twilight could start on the teleportation, she was interrupted by her stomach growling up a storm. “Hehe, Whoops forgot to get something to eat before starting reading,” Twilight giggled sheepishly. “Spike!” She called to her assistant. When she didn’t hear anything, she called again. “Spike?” Twilight then remembered that she had given spike the day off so she could study in peace. Seeing that Discord was not around, and Twilight felt she had a good handle on the chaos magic she figured she could both test the spell and get something to eat at the same time. While gathering the necessary magic, the door to the castle flew open, startling Twilight just as the spell was finishing. With little more then a gust of the wind and nary a sound Twilight Sparkle was gone before the one that opened the door could see anything. “Twilight I'm back,” Spike called to the now empty castle, unaware of Twilight's fate. “What happened,” Twilight groaned out loud as she tried to stand up. She stretched out her wings and nearly blacked out from the pain in her wings. It felt as if somepony had tried ripping out her wings and gave up after they wouldn’t come loose. Even her horn felt as if somepony was shoving a railroad spike through her head. With her wings out of commission for the time being and most of her magic depleted Twilight took note of her surroundings. “Where am I?” Twilight said as she finished checking herself for injuries and discovered that as well all the various cuts, scrapes and bruises that covered most of her body, she no longer looked like a pony. Twilight Almost panicked when she looked at herself and wondered how she was turned into, whatever she was and what the two lumps on her chest even were. Taking note of how the building looked nothing like back in Ponyville, Twilight started to search for clues as to where she was while trying to remember how she got there, stumbling due to having to adjust to walking on two legs after learning that whatever she was, were bipedal. So lost in her thoughts, Twilight didn’t notice the sound of the car quickly approaching causing Twilight to stumble backward and hit her head on a loose brick. The next thing Twilight knew was falling to the ground and blacking out. The N.C.I.S team had just finished up quite a weird case, and they were tired from the travel. Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs was on his way home. As he drove, he noticed a naked 18-year-old girl lying in the street and quickly stopped. Grabbing his gun, and a blanket he had in the back seat, he ran up to the girl. He was making sure she was still breathing after seeing all of her injuries, and, to his relief, she was. He wrapped her up in the blanket and put her in the backseat before calling his team back to the office. “DiNozzo, call the rest of the team and meet me back at the office. I found a naked girl lying on the side of the road, and whatever happened to this girl, she might be in trouble.” Gibbs explained to Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo. “You got it, boss. We will all meet you there.” DiNozzo replied to his boss, calling up the other members. Gibbs then drove back to the office, carrying the girl up into the office. He grabbed a spare set of clothes and put them on the girl before the rest of the team arrived. “Well Gibbs, were here.” Special Agent Caitlin Todd said as she entered the room. “Is that who we need to help?” She said, looking towards the unconscious Twilight, still maintaining her human form. “Boss, I never took you for the type to search for girls on the side of the road,” Tony said in his usual mocking tone. Gibbs just stared at him, and Tony knew when to shut up. “Well, guess you want us to find out who she is?” Special Agent Timothy McGee asked. “Yes, she didn’t have any ID on her. I want to know when she was attacked. Where’s Ducky?” Gibbs asked and told his team. “Right here, Jethro. What do you need from me?” Donald "Ducky" Mallard, the Chief Medical Examiner, asked. “I want to know how bad of a state she’s in, and if she is going to wake up anything soon,” Gibbs explained to him. “Well, don’t you think it’s a good idea to bring her to a hospital?” Ducky brought up. “She seemed in enough pain as it was Ducky and the office was closer than the hospital. Todd..” Gibbs was about to explain. “Find out who she is. Got it boss.” Kate said before going to her desk. “I will find out what she was doing around that area, and if any cameras picked up anything,” Tony said before going to his desk. “I guess I will work anything that has happened in the area before?” Tim asked. “Well?, Get to it then, McGee,” Gibbs told him, pointing towards the desk. They worked at it for several hours, but could not find any information about who she was. They searched all sorts of databanks, but none of them had anything. “Please tell me you have something. Any of you.” Gibbs commanded his team, hoping for some answers. “Well, I can’t find any info on her from anywhere. It’s like she doesn’t exist in them.” Kate said. “There were no cameras in the area,” Tony told him. “And no previous activity in the area,” Tim added. “At least give me something!” Gibbs yelled at them, annoyed, “We're trying boss, but there is just nothing. It’s like someone removed anything and everything about this girl. But we’ll keep looking.” Tony told him. Gibbs looked at them and headed down towards Ducky’s autopsy room, where the girl was lying on a table. “You called me Ducky?” Gibbs asked him as he walked in. “I was about to call you. I can confirm that the girl is in no real danger, and although she has a lot of injuries, most of them are just superficial and should heal relatively fast. There was, however, one set of injuries that have me baffled, ” Ducky explained to Gibbs as he pointed to the two injuries on her back. “These two injuries here have no explanation for what caused them. It’s like she had something attached to her back and whatever happened to her either tore them out or cut two perfectly straight lines. And here’s the weird thing about these injuries,” Ducky said as he pulled out what looked like a purple feather from within the wound. “I found these within both injuries, and these are actual avian feathers from some unknown bird species,” He said when the girl he was examining let out a pained groan and started to wake up. “Ugh. My head. Where am I?” Twilight said as she awoke and looked around her surroundings. When she saw the concerned look of the creature in what looked like doctors clothes and the stern glare of the other that looked like a guard captain she quickly tried to back up, but let out a wince as her injuries let her know that she wasn’t going anywhere for a while. “W-who are you,” She said in a pained whisper. “Stay calm my dear; I need to make sure you are in peak health,” Ducky said as he went over to her. “You were found unconscious on the side of the road.” Twilight pondered and this, and came to the conclusion that the creatures she was speaking to were at least on the same intellectual level as her. “Can you tell me what happened. Your name?” Gibbs asked her as he walked over to her. Twilight wasn’t sure it was a good idea to tell them the full truth. As she was trying to think of what to say to them, Gibbs Thought it strange that this girl seemed scared of the fact that she was around other people. Just as Gibbs was about to voice his question the girl spoke. “I don’t remember. My name is Twilight. Where am I?” She asked. “You are in N.C.I.S headquarters Twilight. I found you on the road covered in injuries.” Gibbs told her. He knew something was off with this girl considering the lack of clothing when he found her but decided to take it easy on her for now, at least until he knew more about her. Gibbs was also wondering how this girl wound up in the alley naked where he found her when it was a dead end. As he pondered, this Ducky asked Twilight if she remembered anything else. When the girl, Twilight, said that she didn't even know how she got here, alarm bells started ringing in Gibb's head. Ducky just looked at the poor girl as if she was suffering some form of amnesia and couldn’t remember anything other than her name and nothing else. “Do you remember where you live or anything like that,” he asked in a friendly and hopeful tone. Now Gibbs would usually give someone the benefit of the doubt if it looks like they had no idea what was going on, but here was a girl who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen who was looking extremely nervous about this question and started to sweat a little. What she said next, plus the way her eyes looked to everything but either of them, clued Gibbs into the fact that either she wasn't being truthful or was afraid to remember. The only question now was why. “I don’t remember where I'm from,” Twilight said as she tried to deny that where she was from was a world of magic ponies. She didn't want them to think she was crazy or hallucinating when they were nice to her. Gibbs had enough evidence to realize that something about this girl was very off, almost enough for Gibbs to make her reveal what she was hiding and why right then. "Twilight, would you mind waiting here for a moment?” Gibbs asked her as she was trying to get her feet under her. The way she wobbled was strange as well, making it seem like she never stood up before or had walked on all fours like an animal for most her life. “Sure, but may I ask why, Mr?” She said and asked at the same time. “Special Agent Gibbs, and I just want to make sure your safe and everything is okay. Also, I need to speak to someone to look after you while we try to figure out how we're going to help you.” He explained. Twilight heard of agents before, and she was curious where she ended up. She still thought it best to hide her true self until she knew she could trust these, whatever they were called. She got up from the cold table and stumbled around a little before finding a seat just in the hall. “I’ll send someone over with some clothes that fit in a moment,” Gibbs said as he and Ducky left the autopsy lab and entered the elevator. As they headed to Abby Sciuto’s lab, Gibbs let his suspicions be known to Ducky. “Did you see how she acted when you asked where she was from, Ducky,” Gibbs asked as both him and Ducky entered the lab. “Whatever happened to her left her scared enough that she had to make up a story that she didn't remember.” Before Ducky could form a response, Abby ran over to them in her usual manner. “Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs!” Abby yelled while running over to the two, grabbing his hand. “Is is true? What they said about the girl?”Abby said in her usual hyperactive way. “Yes, Abby. Can you do me a favor and bring her some spare clothes? As well as look after her while we try to find some more info on her and where she's from.” Gibbs asked her. “Of course! You can count on me.” Abby said, grabbing a spare lab coat and headed off to autopsy. Gibbs and Ducky seemed to have the same thought after Abby left. ' i have a bad feeling we just made things awkward.' Meanwhile, back with Twilight, when the two creatures left the room she was trying to remember how she got here and where she ended up. She was close to panicking when she found out that her magic was incredibly weak here when even a simple levitation spell made her head hurt. She soon found out, however, that when she focused her magic through one of her odd foreclaws, it didn't make her head hurt nearly as bad. Before Twilight could attempt any stronger magic, she was startled by someone entering the room while she was levitating a strange looking stool causing her to lose focus on her magic. Gravity quickly returned to tell the seat she had been levitating that it could not fly, and it clattered to the floor in a spectacular fashion. Abby just stared at what she had seen; This girl had apparently been levitating one of the autopsy stools that sat around the table like magic. "How did you do that?!" Abby exclaimed as she moved quickly into the room before the girl could run. "How were you making the stool float?! Was it magic?! How can you do magic like that?! Can you teach me how to do that?!" Abby said excitedly all in a single breath. To Twilight this girls hyperactivity reminded her of Pinkie Pie and made her feel a little relieved about that. "W-what do you mean m-magic," Twilight said trying to dissuade this girl into thinking she said reminding herself after hearing what this girl had said about magic. DiNozzo had once described Abby while under the influence of a truth serum as "a paradox wrapped in an oxymoron smothered in contradictions in terms. She sleeps in a coffin. Honestly, She's the happiest Goth you'll ever meet," but Abigail "Abby" Sciuto was far from dumb, and she knew a lie when she heard one. " I'm talking about the fact that you were making a twenty-pound metal stool float in the air like it weighed nothing is a clear indication that you know how to do magic." Abby pointed out with logic. Twilight knew she was caught, but she didn't know what this creature would do to her, nor did she want anyone else to know. However, before Twilight could utter a single word her body was suddenly wracked with a tremendous amount of pain that had her doubling over doing her absolute best not to scream or pass out from the pain. Abby for her part was in shock at what was happening right before her eyes. When it looked like this girl was about to explain how she was able to do magic like she could she suddenly doubled over in pain. All Abby could do was watch in horror as the girl’s body slowly morphed into some kind of unicorn/pegasus hybrid. When it looked like the transformation was complete, this little horse/girl swayed for a few seconds before falling over into unconsciousness.
