FSA Rewrite - Chapter01 Preview

Author's Note: I've tried implementing a new writing style that I feel really shows how images can support the narrative without being too distracting.


Sparklight presents:

From Skies Above
Retold using humourous images of cats

Twilight and Spike are eating breakfast, but suddenly a letter from Princess Celestia appears:


The Princess urgently asks Twilight to go to Canterlot. When she arrives, the Princess unveils a startling revelation:

An alien spaceship has crashed in the north! Twilight joins the team to go up and investigate.


Meanwhile, in the snowy north, gryphons arrive at the crash site and begin to search around, but something goes wrong:


And alien has survived! Before the gryphons can capture it, it escapes into the snow:


The ponies arrive, and are puzzled by what they find:


The gryphons have set out after the alien. Spotting the gryphons, the ponies pursue them, refusing to fall behind:


Meanwhile, the escaped alien finds himself caught in a trap!


Gryphons catch up easily, attacking from all sides:


But soon they realise the lost alien isn't as weak as they thought:


Using powerful weapons, the alien strikes back with mighty force!


But despite its technological advantage, alien is soon overpowered:


The ponies arrive at the scene of the battle, but it is too late!


The more formidable ponies scare off the gryphons:


But the alien is gravely wounded and barely clinging to life:


With great haste the ponies rush back to Canterlot, but will they make it in time?







Next time on From Skies Above:
Can the ponies hold onto their guest?

Will the scientist ponies be able to learn anything about this newcomer?

And will the gryphons try to kill this extra-terristrial once again?

Since some people thought I was being serious the last time I trolled (I'm looking at you, Spacebattles), here is just a disclaimer that I actually am totally serious this time round.

There will be cats.

No joke.

I'm super cereal.

I like cats, I guess. Cats are good.

If I hadn't already given this story a thumbs up, I would have now just because of lolcats. :derpytongue2::pinkiehappy::twilightsmile::yay:

No words could express my feelings right now.

And just how cereal are you?

2191011 that's why TF2 rocket-jumping wouldn't work IRL, the proximity detector needs a short time to actually turn on, so, it would just hit the ground and do nothing. :moustache:

Man, so many good stories lately have been taking all of these surprise twists. So good.

2354506
Well shit... that's bloody cereal as fuck.

*Looks at favorite
*From Skies Above updated:pinkiehappy:
*sees first cat pic and looks at the date.
*says this:

But stills I shouldn't really get my hopes up today for its Aprils fools day today.

That was absolutely beautiful, I have never seen a plot told entirely through single sentences and cat videos.:rainbowkiss: But in all seriousness the rewrite sounds cool, just as long as the humans continue to kick ass.

TMH

BRAVO BRAVO!!
BRAVA BRAVA!!

A MASTERPIECE, BRILLIANT!

Though I find it lacking something from the original.
Perhaps some of the comedic asides? Obviously the drama of the rewrite is vastly expanded.
Nonetheless, I look forward to future, non-today, chapters.
Filled with cats.
Invisible, subliminal messaging, cats.

Carry On

Shit, if they fight cats, the gryphons are doomed.

I LOVE CATS!

1) ... Absolutely... ADORABLE!!!:pinkiehappy:

2) If this is an April fools joke, then you start REEEEEALLY early my friend.:moustache:

either way, nice to see a post.:yay:

Amazing piece of literature

:moustache:

10/10 would read again

2355220

2355220 you don't have one. I however do. You may envy me

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!

2355259

2355337 everything I know is a lie

Sparklight...go home.

You're drunk.

And also srsly?

CATS?

NO THERE ARE TOO MANY CATS ON TEH INTERWEBS AND I IS ALLERGIC TO DEMS. MAKE TEH CATS GOES AWAY!!:twilightangry2:

Quite honestly, I fucking hate April Fools day.

But this was hilarious!

I can definitely appreciate the effort you put into this to find all of those gifs.
Happy 1st of April! :twilightsmile:

It might be stupid, asking serious questions on this day, but: will you be rewriting this story after all?

Trolling...
The bane of the internet has struck again...

2354643 Ah, makes sense.:moustache:
... but now I can't help reading everything you say with an Aussie accent:fluttershyouch::yay:

Excellent pacing.
Underlined with the use of very few and exclusive graphics of the highest quality.

I am the representative of a major company that is looking for new blood in the writing buisness!
You´re hired!

Catz, will you ever cease to amaze?:rainbowlaugh:

I eat super cereal for breakfast. That's why my friends call me super-man.

But I am allergic to cats. And I now want a flying shark.

I must say I had my doubts about a rewrite, but you definitely delivered.:rainbowwild:

Can the ponies hold onto their guest?

here's my answer:

I wonder if the Gryphons,Ponies realize that they mutated into cats because of the alien?
