The Storm

"So this is it?" Lyra said walking through the dense foliage, vines and plant-life that was the Everfree Forest.

Lyra had been scaling through the forest for only a few minutes, yet it had already started to turn dark out. Despite the fact the mare was alone in a deep dark forest when the sun began to fall, Lyra continued through undaunted.

"I can't believe everyone was so afraid of this place." Lyra said sarcastically," I could see how Lily would be afraid of a place like this, but I'm not sure what doesn't scare that mare."

Continuing through the forest she couldn't help but observe the forest around her. "I don't see what's so dangerous about this place. Nothing here but trees, grass, a rock, some leaves and timberwolves." Lyra paused for a second to her sudden realization," TIMBERWOLVES!!"

Out from behind a nearby tree a pack of three timberwolves began running towards her. Startled by the wolves Lyra used her magic to hurl a nearby rock and hit one of the wolves, causing the branches and limbs that were it's body to scatter and fall apart. With the other two closing in on her Lyra had no choice but to flee.

Lyra began swiftly running through the forest. Dodging the branches and jumping over the logs Lyra looked back to see the timberwolves getting closer."Okay I take it back this forest is as bad as they said. Lyra said whilst looking back at the timberwolves hoping the forest would forgive her for mocking it.

The timberwolves began to slow down to her surprise. "Ha," Lyra laughed as she continued running," Try to keep up next ti- WAM!!"

Out of nowhere Lyra ran into a large tree that blocked the trail, knocking her to the ground. "Ow, I need to watch my mouth while in this forest." Lyra groaned while holding a hoof to her bruised skull. Slowly the wolves began approaching her staying low to the ground and growling.

"Guess I have no choice here," Lyra said as she stood up, "I guess i have to fight my way out of this." Quickly one wolf ran towards the mare and pounced at her. Thinking fast Lyra swiftly turned around.

"HA", She shouted as she bucked the timberwolf, causing it to fall to pieces. Turning around she could see the surprised look on the last wolf's face.

With a smirk making its way across her face Lyra asked,"So, would you like a turn?" Unlike most timberwolves this one was smart enough to run from the overconfident mare, whimpering as it fled.

"Wow," Lyra chuckled, "If kicking wood is this easy then i should get a job at Sweet Apple Acres."

After continuing through the forest Lyra came across a long, old bridge that led even deeper into the forest."Welp," Lyra gulped," Guess this is where it gets interesting.

Bon Bon had finally made it to the top of the hill where all the best spots were. It was already dark so she had to find a spot soon. Scanning the area Bon Bon started looking for a spot to sit.

While looking she could see all kinds of ponies there. Twilight and her friends were all sitting together, while Twilight inspected her telescope and the multiple books she had brought with her.

Nearby she could see the flower trio of Rose, Lily, and Daisy sitting on a mat with illustrations of flowers on it. Lily was passed out on the mat with Daisy fanning the unconscious mare, while Rose confusingly inspected the small bug that landed on a flower she held.

"Hey Bon,"

Bon Bon turned to find a familiar face. To her side she saw Vinyl Scratch and Octavia on a music themed mat.

Vinyl called again as she waved at Bon Bon."Bon! We got a nice spot over here. Come join us."

Bon Bon joined the two and walked over to them.Setting her basket and other supplies down Octavia asked, "So where's Lyra at? don't tell me she's still sleeping."

"No no," Bon Bon reponded," She's awake but she said she didn't want to come. Said she was going to have a breakthrough in her research or something."

"Holy crap she's still at that," Vinyle asked while chuckling." I thought her freaking out over that bone she found was a breakthrough on its own."

"Can we not bring up the bone incident," Bon Bon groaned.

"Come on," Vinyl responded," You have to admit it was pretty funny. I mean that dude didn't know what hit him when she tackled him. Then when his marefrie-

"Could you please not Vinyl," Bon Bon aksed.

"Aw don't be a stick in the mud Bon," Vinyl mocked.

"Actually i think I'm with Bon Bon on this one." Octavia remarked," I think it's about time that died off. The poor mare gets mocked enough as it is.

"Yeah I guess I could give her break," Vinyl responded.

Looking through the sky Vinyl couldn't help but notice the lack of space rocks and asked, "So when is this asteroid storm or whatever supposed to start.

"It might be in a few minutes," Octavia responded," There's no way to know for sure when it will happen, you can't schedule things like this.

"Well guess We"ll be waiting." Vinyl said while she plugged in her headphones," Tell me when the storm starts."

After a few minutes the meteor shower had begun. Everypony watching was awestruck by the light show it made. With how close the meteors were, it caused them to shine with a rainbow of colors that lit up the night sky.

You could hear all around in amazement with an "oooooh" and "aaaaah" and the occasional "waaaooooh"

"I can't believe Lyra is missing this," Bon Bon thought to her self," Wherever she is i hope she can see all this.

Something must have happened cause there seemed to be some fright coming from Twilight. "Watch out everypony!!" Twilight shouted.

Looking to the sky Bon Bon could see four meteors heading straight for them. Each a different color, red, green, blue, and white.

Panicked sounds could be heard from the hill, with Lily letting out an earpiercing screech as the red and green ones flew by only a few feet away from the hill.

The red one was the first to hit, landing deep in the Everfree Forest and letting out a loud bang as it landed as well as an explosion of color.

The green one also landed in the forest closer to ponyville, but gave off little noise or color.

The blue and white ones continued through the sky, then both Landed far away across Equestria.

After the event ended the panic began to calm down. Twilight was writing a letter. Likely to alert The princesses. Lily and Daisy both fainted while Rose fanned the unconscious mares. And "My leg, oh my leg," could be heard from the crowd.

"That was.... AWESOME!!," Vinyl shouted in excitement," Woo, yeah more lasers!!"

"Bonk!", Octavia had hit Vinyl, causing her glasses to be crooked on her face.

The forest had been barraged in an explosion of light from both meteors. Lyra couldn't help but sit and be awestruck as she was surrounded by light and color.

After a minute the light dimmed, but a red glare could be seen shinning from one part of the forest.

Through the light Lyra could the see the shadow of a familiar figure
"Haaa, A human!!" Lyra gasped, I better get a good look at this one. this is the breakthrough I've been looking for."

The silhouette began to disappear and Lyra began rushing towards it as fast as she could.

Arriving finally to the crash site where the creature was she was amazed to see-

"Wait what?"
