 ACT TWO


United Equestria was indeed suffering a huge crisis.

Over the past few weeks since Lightning returned home from his Starpops adventure, strange crafts appeared in space; marauders which had been harassing United Equestria’s shipping lines.

One of Starfleet’s many functions was to help other innocent races, as well as protect them from evil. They would do so by delivering food, and supplies to other planets that had recently been attacked, and even a work crew to help rebuild communities that were trashed in the chaos, and a few med teams to help with the injured.

But the recent harassment of the marauders, plundering their supplies, and attacking the dimensional pathways made it impossible for any shipping to get through or any conventional space travel for that. So no supplies could go through, and the planets in need would remain helpless, not to mention Starfleet was getting plundered of supplies and food from the attacks, and ponies were getting hurt.

No matter what, these pirates would not be reasoned with, and refused any negotiations. They came only to cause trouble and refused to cease any and all hostilities.

Fortunately, Starfleet was able to fend off these pesky pirates by shooting them out of the skies from below, and others would attack the ships in space directly, among them was Commander Lightning Dawn, using his Enticorn Powers to shield himself from being teleported by the magic of space.

His friends all joined with him, wearing special spacesuits combined with their battle-suits.

These suits were recently perfected by Professor Brain by using scrap metal remains of shot down pirate fighter ships. This alloy was of a high condensed metallic-rock, and rocks and alloys of that density were somehow immune to the teleportation magic of space. 

This made it easy for the Professor and his team of experts took this alloy, condensed and polymerized it into fabricated material and forged into suits and armor, complete with space helmets. They did seem light, but they were extremely strong, even to that of megaship laser cannon.

In addition, the suits could also let the ponies use their magic attacks, and even provided them with a limitless supply of oxygen.

As long as the fighters kept their suits on, they would not be warped in space, but despite the suit they would have to take well care of their suits to make sure they did not get damaged, as well as keep an eye on their oxygen feed batteries, which would require charging every so-and-so. If they failed, then the oxygen would fail, and the ponies would have to remove their helmets to breathe the oxygen around them in space, but this would allow them to be teleported.

Still, with all this, the biggest mysteries on hand: who were these pirates, where did they come from, and why were they doing this?

Day and night, the ponies would ponder and theorize, but they came up with nothing. As for the pirates themselves, they were just a gaggle of thieves from various other planets all working together as one.

This was not enough, Starfleet required more, but every time they managed to capture a pirate, and try to get an answer, the pirate would destroy himself or herself-- blow themselves up in suicidal explosions.

So the mystery was still a blank and the Starfleet’s shipping were still being threatened, and if this were to continue, the whole galaxy would possibly be soon thrown into disorder.

Today, however, all was quiet. Some days the pirates attacked, and some days they didn’t, but the planet was still on high alert and Starfleet and allies were maintaining a constant vigil for further attacks.

Commander Lightning Dawn and his wife Starla shine had been summoned to the palace. They had all just been transported near the palace, via Krysta’s warping magic.

“Thanks for the lift, Krysta.” said Lightning.

“Hey, no sweat.” said Krysta “But I wonder what you’ve been called for.”

“We’ll soon find out.” said Starla.

The guards stopped them at the gate, but after seeing Commander Lightning, and him saying “At ease, guards.” They saluted and graciously let him and the others through.

As they walked through the palace, they saluted to all the guards and other soldiers that passed by them, finally emerging in the throne room, where their majesties, Grand Ruler Celesto (Che-less-tow) and Queen Celestia were waiting. Princess Luna was with them too, as well as Cadance and Shining Armor.

The friends bowed to their supreme majesties.

“Master, how goes the investigation?” Lightning asked.

“Not very well, I’m afraid.” Grand Ruler answered “We still have located not a trace of where the pirates are coming from, or who is sending them.”

The friends sighed “I wish Princess Avyanna would hurry and arrive.” said Krysta “With her ship and forces, we could really show those pirates whose tough.”

“Krysta…” Lightning said sounded surprised “We’re accepting her as a new ally, not a tool for warfare.”

Celestia cleared her throat “The reason we have summoned you… Shining Armor and Cadance will explain.”

The couple stepped forth and Cadance explained. “Just recently, one of our astronomers within the New Crystal Empire discovered a mysterious object in the skies.”

She used her magic to show them all images; which nearly made Lightning stop breathing “Galloping Galaxies! That’s an Earth craft.”

“We thought you’d recognize It.” said Shining Armor.

The girls were equally as shocked, preferably Krysta. “What’s an Earth craft doing out there?”

“We’re not even sure it actually is an Earth craft.” said Cadance “We have our suspicions that this could be a clever trick set up by the pirates to infiltrate United Equestria.”

The friends and even their majesties were uncertain what to think of that; creatures like the pirates didn’t seem to be the type to know of the human world, but it was questionable if whether or not they had somehow learned of it, and thereby made copies of crafts there, which would explain how they got all this power.

“This craft is headed straight for our planet on a dimensional pathway.” said Princess Luna.

“Dimensional pathway?!” cried Starla “But, that makes less sense than ever. Why would a craft need a pathway to travel?”

Lightning was beginning to get the drift, and his master nodded at him. “I want you to go out there and investigate. I want to know what this thing really is, what it’s doing here and why. If you can’t figure out on first glance, bring it here, we’ll have the teams standing by.”

The friends nodded and prepared to leave. They quickly donned their spacesuits, and then Krysta used her magic to send them off into space.

“Celesto…” asked Celestia “Supposing this ship really is a trap sent by the pirates…”

Her husband pondered over that deeply “We won’t know for a while yet, but we must be on guard for anything. There are many mysteries that still await us out in this vast dimensional universe.”



Lightning and Starla soared across on their pathway, and they could see the mysterious craft in almost no time. “Okay…Now!!” cried Lightning, and he and his wife jumped off their own pathway and landed directly on the craft’s port wing. Their spacesuits protected them perfectly, and they got a good chance to examine the craft with their visors.

“What do you make of it?” asked Starla.

Lightning had never actually seen a real shuttle from Earth before, only pictures in books, however all his scans revealed alloys much and other traces of chemicals and other things not common to United Equestria, or even the pirates.

“It seems Earthly like…” he said “But I just go on it with all this. We need more time to scan it more effectively.”

Starla poked round at the front of the ship, and looked through the viewport. “Lightning…!” she cried “Come here…!”

“What is it?”

“Look, there’s someone in there.”

They both took a good look at the creature sitting, unconscious, in the seat, and tightly strapped in.

Lightning was at a near loss for words. “It’s… it’s an Earthman! At least, I think it is.”

They both scanned the man with their visors, and all vital signs showed perfect normality. No magi whatsoever, no hidden abilities, and Lightning was able to defiantly make out the composition of human bio-signs.

However, my vital signs were dropping slightly, and Starla could detect traces of a powerful alien sedative in the man’s body. “He doesn’t look so good.” she said with worry.

Lightning was still uncertain if the man and the ship were both from Earth, realizing the man needed medical attention, and that his ship needed further investigation, he knew his orders.

“Let’s get it back to the planet.”

His wife agreed and flew over to the other side of the ship.

That’s when another pathway sped past them, and they could see all their friends waving at them. 

They all jumped over onto the ship’s pathway.

“Grand Ruler sent us to meet you here.” said Buddy Rose.

“Whoa! Check this thing out.” cried Rainbow.

Rarity was disgusted by the sight of the ship. “My heavens…! Whatever is this filthy object?” she groaned.

“Never mind that now…” said Lightning “Take hold of it, all of you.”

Everyone headed for a respective end of the ship, and combined their super strengths to pull back and slow it down as the planet approached.


*Mykan’s POV*

The sudden deceleration gave me a slight nudge, and my eyes opened slightly. I felt very weary and my head really hurt. My whole body felt like jelly and I could barely move. It was hard to make things out.

But there was a bright light before me; I had no way of realizing it was actually a planet. I could also see out my view ports, I could see what looked like humans with wings, I couldn’t see their heads or faces due to my weariness and the light.

“Angels…” I could only assume “I’m really going…” 

…Then I passed out again.

*POV Ends*



An air-raid warning alarm sounded all over new Canterlot, as the palace was sealed off, and the surrounding neighbourhoods nearest to it had been evacuated, as the team along with the giant ship materialized in the skies.

Flag ponies guided the team to carry the ship carefully onto a landing area prepared on the other side of the palace.

“Hurry up!” cried Spike “…This thing is killing my shoulders!!”

“Almost there!” said Artie.

“I don’t think I can make it!” cried Fluttershy.

Her husband, Rhymey, poured on more strength and shouted…

“No, no…
Don’t let go!”

Finally, they managed to set the heavy ship down softly on the solid ground.

“Whoa, Nellie!” cried Applejack “I’ve hauled some heavy loads before, but this is a bit much.”

“Really…? I thought it was fun.” chirped Pinkie Pie “Think we could do it again?”

All the others glared at her with shocked expressions.

“Bad idea…?”

“Let it go, Pinkie.” said Dyno.

“Si, we’ve got work to do.” added Myte.

The first thing they did was breaking their way into the ship’s cockpit and get the unconscious man out. Lightning, Starla, Rarity Spike and Krysta helped get him straight to the sickbay on a stretcher.

Once in the sickbay, the doctors and nurses, led by Dr. Penny Sillon who had been summoned, got to work to revitalize the man.

“How is he, Penny?” Lightning asked.

Penny checked the man’s heartbeat and breathing, and felt his pulse. Then she said “He should be waking any second now.”

The friends all gathered round close as Penny placed a cold wet washcloth on the man’s forehead.



*Mykan’s POV*

I felt myself coming back to my senses. I almost felt as if I had been asleep for a-hundred years, and my vision cleared very quickly, but when I looked up…

As strange pony-like creature, wearing a doctor’s uniform, was gazing down at me and asked “Are you alright?”

…I SCREAMED in shock!

The doctor winced and leapt back in fright.

I fell out of the bed, and quickly sprinted onto my feet, but backed away shaking nervously, not noticing the other creatures behind me.

I bumped right into one of them-- Rarity-- I took one look at her, and screamed again, nd she screamed too in fright.

I backed away like a coward.

“Please… no need to scream.” one of the creatures-- Lightning-- said to me.

“Get back! Keep away!!” I shouted as I scooted away “This is impossible; mules don’t talk!”

Rarity looked like she was going to burst in rage “Mules?... MULES?!!” she snarled “We, sir, are NOT mules! We are ponies! Do you understand me? PO-NIES…!”


“Well not me, I’m a dragon.” said the dragon.


Now I was really freaked out “P-P-P-Ponies and dragons don’t talk either!” I bumped into the wall behind me, jumping in fright.

Starla approached me and spoke gently, “Well, our lips are moving and words are coming out. What would you call that?”

Despite that I could see that, I also noted their humanoid bodies. They didn’t look like your average normal ponies, but rather magical things out of a fairy tale.

I was now hyperventilating with extreme anxiety. “Okay… okay… it’s all a dream!” I said as I turned round with my back facing the gang. “That’s it; all a dream.” I began to slap my own face and head furiously like a madman shouting to myself “Come on, come on wake up, man! WAKE UP!!”


The others all felt embarrassed and awkward at my attitude. “Okay, this needs to stop.” said Krysta.


Still with my backed turned, I caught hold of myself and tried to convince myself while speaking out loud “This is not happening. I am not here. They are not here. 

...I do not believe in aliens!”


“Um… we can still hear you.” said Lightning.

My eyes widened as a shocked groan escaped from my throat. I turned round slowly, and could see they were all still there… just as real as I felt. “I’m… not… dreaming?”

Lightning tried to approach me and be peaceful, “Now, if you’ll kindly get a-hold of yourself...”

“Stay away!” I shouted “Stay away… whoever or… whatever you are.”

The friends were already convinced that I would need some time alone to get a-hold of myself. “Take him to the white room.” Lightning said.

Penny agreed, and she and her doctors ganged up on me. I fussed and screamed like a kid throwing a tantrum-- a rather natural attitude to someone in extreme shock-- but I couldn’t escape.



The next I knew, I had been stripped of my uniform, and was wearing simple white plain pajamas and a white bathrobe. I was locked in a bright white room, almost like something in an insane asylum. I wasn’t even strapped down or chained up. With the exception of a simple bed, and a table with chairs, there wasn’t much in this room. I felt all along the white walls

After a couple of hours and a good rest, I had calmed down immensely after a while. I was starting to feel more convinced that all this was real, but still… what was happening to me? What was all this?

I felt along the walls of my room, fascinated by the sealed walls. I had never seen anything like them before. It almost felt like I was in some sort of giant scanning machine.

Then, the door to my room opened wide, and two pony guards walked in. I still found it very shocking to know they were real creatures, and then I saw two tall ponies walk in. Both dressed in royal garbs like a King and Queen.

The male had three golden horns, very dark hair with shimmering sparkles, he wore golden armor with jewels encrusted, and a red shimmering cape that seemed to flutter without any supporting breeze.

Next to him, the female seemed very beautiful. She wore a white top with a golden gown, and her long mane and tail were multi-colored and seemed to flutter like the red cape, without any wind.

“How do you do, Mr. Stevens.” the male said kindly to me.

All I could do was stare awkwardly at them both.

“It’s alright. We mean you no harm.” said the female.

Her husband nodded “I am Grand Ruler Celesto, and this is my wife Queen Celestia. We are both very pleased to meet you.”

I approached them both, but spoke rather severely to them, which they expected. “Just what’s going on? Where am I and what are you doing with me?”

“Just relax.” said Celestia “At the moment, we’re all studying you. It’s all painless.”

“That’s right…” said Grand Ruler “Yet so far, we are as boggled as you are, but your testing is producing incredible data.”

I was feeling very annoyed and confused by this point “That doesn’t answer my question. What is going on here? Look I’ve been through a lot here, and I’ve been waiting a long time for some answers here. Am I dead or what?”

“I assure you, you are very much alive.” said Grand Ruler.

He and his wife sat down by the table, and Celestia magically made a huge tall cool glass of water appear, which amazed me. “Come…” she said “Sit down and have a drink.”

“No, no… I don’t need a drink.” I said.

“Yes you do, Mykan. You’re extremely dehydrated from your ordeal.”

I approached them, not actually astounded they knew my name-- after all they did take my uniform which had my name on it, as well as my identification passes from NASA.

I gazed at the glass of water sitting on the table. “How… did you do that?”

“Simple magic.” said Celestia “Of course if you like, you can have lemonade… Apple juice… fruit-punch...”

Every drink she said, she made appear before me and then changed the drink back to water. I could hardly blink my eyes and gazed at both ponies “Magic…?”

They nodded at me.

I finally sat down “What is all this?”

Grand Ruler knew hesitated a moment “We know this is difficult for you to understand, but, while you were unconscious, we probed your mind to gaze at your memories.”

“Whoa, wait… you mind-raped me?”

The ponies felt shocked at my words. “We did not mean you harm…” said Celestia “And from what we saw, we determined that you, Mykan Stevens, were making a solo orbit around your planet, Earth, in your craft.”

I thought deeply, and remembered “Yes… that’s right. I was there, everything was fine, and then… I remember the white light. It pulled me in.”

Grand Ruler nodded and said “We have no solid proof of how, but it seemed that you were sucked through a rouge wormhole, a portal which lead you here to our world, the planet United Equestria.”

That was it, I was officially stunned.

“You are now in a mutli-dimensional and magical universe outside of your own.” said Celestia.

I didn’t respond. I didn’t move, blink, or even breathe too loudly.

“Mykan, are you alright?” asked Grand Ruler.

“Are you upset?” asked Celestia.

I blinked once, but was still horribly in shock. “I… think I will have that drink now.”

Their majesties could see it would take me some time to get adjusted, but at least some progress was being made.
