//------------------------------// // Season one: Chapter two: A ghost: The fall of Twilight Arc // Story: Project Harmony one: The ones in the background // by Megaskullmon //------------------------------// It’s been many months after the new elements had been set in their paths. Shadow and I work on the station with the others that do what they can. I do my best as of late to not get on their bad sides. But not trying to find a romp. I am talking to the workers at the core. “I think what C&C is trying to get you to find is a wire or two that broke. So if you could connect them back.” When they do the job I turn off the computer to let them do their work. I hear C&C talk over our coms to them. “Are you two done in there?’ The workers replied. “Yes, we are.” I  lean back in the chair closing my eyes to rest a bit. I didn’t know what happened but I fell asleep. It was either an hour later and I woke up hearing an alarm. Shadow shakes me awake I quickly get out of the chair. “What is it?!” Shadow pants sweat covering her body. “We are under attack by something. We need to fight” I follow Shadow seeing another Shadow trotting up to me. “What are you following Chaser?” I quickly turn back to the other Shadow but she vanished and the alarms turn off. I shook my head unsure what to think. Looking back to see the others working on trying to get a power drain under control.  “You told me we are under attack.” Shadow stares at me. “Are you seeing things that suddenly happened and then soon after they vanish?” I quickly nod looking back to the others. Who looks more confused than I do. I trot quickly with Shadow to one of the computers to see how we can help and suddenly I get a flash before my eyes. “Chaser... please hold me and don’t let me go...We know the station is blowing up..please hold me..” The station around us is blowing up while Twilights forces are destroying the station. I hold Shadow close to me closing my eyes tightly. I felt my life ready to end and when a loud explosion happens Shadow and I watch while the fire from the chain reaction comes after us.  “I love you Shadow….” When the fire gets close to us a strange magic bubble goes over the two of us and time froze. The vision ended and I trip and fall onto the ground with Shadow falling as well. I look around quickly. I have to wonder was that the future? “Chaser...what did you see?’ I took a deep breath unsure how to say it. “I saw the station blowing up we were under attack by Twilights forces from the sounds of it and...we either died or got saved.” Shadow smiles weakly. “I saw us on a new world called New Celestia and you and I became the main builders of a brand new station.” A new world and the alarm went off again. A voice comes over the PA system. “We are under attack by an unknown force. Workers get busy and repair what you can and fight them back if they find a way in.” I quickly nod to Shadow and we go to repair the inside of the station that we need to. Then before I could do anything I saw a strange room flash before my eyes and then creatures we come to call humans coming in to talk to a strange creature. “Said’s his name is Zathras. We don’t know how he got aboard. Where he came from or what race he is. I have never seen an alien-like him before.” Zathras stands up staring at the one in the dark blue uniform. “Ooooh.” Zathras then sits back down  “Not the one.” Shaking his head. The human looks confused. “Not the one what?” Zathras shakes his head waving his hand. “You’re not the one. Won’t talk can’t talk. Not the one” He points to the one that I  finally see the name tag of like I am there. Jeffery Sinclare turns his eyes to look at me. He doesn’t say a word going back to what the creature is saying. I stay right near the table so as not to move or get well attacked.  “They told me they did. Zrathas listens he does. Zrathas listens and does what he told.” The bald human I never really cared to look at his name tag speaks up. “He’s been speaking like this since we caught him.” Another human that looks like a security officer comes up to him. “Where you find him?” The bald human takes some time to speak. “That’s the weird part. One minute were alone in the conference room. There’s a flash and there he is.” Zathras looks up pointing. “The one is hurt. Zathras must find Zrathas must find help.” Sinclair looks back from me to Zathras. “What are you doing here?’ “Need this place. Need this use to fight. They told Zathras the biggest of all Babylon stations. We need needing we take.” It finally hit me my eyes go completely wide as I knew in the log that this was once known as Babylon Four before it was changed to Project Harmony they found it adrift in our solar system.  “Eeeh there is no more to telling.” “Why do you need Babylon Four?” It took a second for Zathras to speak he looks back at the humans. “Zathras tells. You let Zathras go. Finish what Zathras came for.” The security human walks up to Zathras with death and a will to cause pain in his eyes.  “Zathras tells maybe we don’t break Zathras scrawny little neck.” Zrathas clicks his tongue taking a moment to speak. “Great war..” “Chaser!!!” I shook my head and the vision of the past was finally gone I turned to look at Shadow. I had a feeling this is how it happened but if I told the others what I saw they would think I am crazy. I took a deep breath and smiled. “Hello, beautiful.” Shadow rolled her eyes.  “Come on we need to go help the others.” It took hours to finally figure out what was causing this issue. It was a strange device that was attached to the core. One of the elements grabbed the device and tossed it while it looked like it was going to go back into time. I took a deep breath and after it was taken care of I went home early for a break waiting for me there was a strange creature in a suit. I wasn’t alone Shadow was there to “Shadow what is going on?” Shadow looks back at me with a weak smile. “You need to listen to him.” I sat down beside Shadow.   “Surprise for the future.” “You mean what we saw could happen to us?” The creature takes a moment to speak. “The future is always written in stone. Take heed a war is coming a war that you may not win at first. You’re nothing like the ones who fought the other war. You’re not at peace with yourselves. You fight among yourselves as they did. But your friends didn’t keep you together. I shall give you one warning. Don’t trust the one known as Twilight Sparkle. Give others around you this warning. She is corrupted.” The creature vanished like he was never there. I look at Shadow. “We need to do this to those we trust and they tell the others they trust. If we can’t get the command structure to at least listen to us we can get the lifeblood of the station to do so.” I just shook my head. “I don’t know if I will be able to do something like this Shadow. I doubt anyone would listen to me with my reputation. So it has to be all you. You do understand this correct?’ Shadow sighs nodding. “Yes, I do. Get some rest Chaser you look so more out of it than I do.” Shadow leaves and I got off the couch unsure what to think of what I just saw. I quickly drank some heavy cider to help me keep my mind off what I just saw earlier. When I feel I have drunk enough I lay in my bed to rest. I allow my mind to soothe off to sleep as I dream of the image I saw of Shadow and me about to die from a fiery explosion and then time freezing like a bubble.
