Chapter 3: Complications

May 27, 2017

Orlando, Florida, United States    

    It was noon in sunny Orlando, Florida. The birds were singing the sun was shining, everything was calm. 
    "Hello, birdies." Fluttershy said while in the backyard of Sam's house.
    "Good Morning Sam." Twilight said as she was sitting on a stool at the breakfast bar.
    "Morning? It's 12:00 Noon." Sam said while pointing at the clock.
    "Oh sorry, good afternoon Sam." Twilight corrected. 
    "You know I still find it odd that I'm talking with horses." Sam replied.
    "Whatever Sam, now we need to find Spiror before he does anything worse. Come on girls! Let's think of a plan." Twilight said. Sam then got a news alert on his phone.
    "I think I found him." Sam said.
    "What? Where?" Twilight replied confused.
    "Right there." Sam said pointing at the TV while holding a coffee mug.
    "Local, Live, Late Breaking, this is WESH 2 News at Noon."
"Good afternoon everyone I'm Jason Guy."
    "And I'm Merideth McDonough"
    "And we have some breaking news. A strange problem is going on at Lake Eola, investigators are yet to comment on what's going on but WESH 2 News is there and we have Amanda Ober at the scene, Amanda?" Jason said cueing the reporter.

    "Investigators here have closed Lake Eola Park until further notice and are very quiet about what's going on." The reporter said while pointing at the police tape. The news cut to some witnesses at the scene.
    "This is really odd especially around here because usually the police tell us right away when something is going on especially if you have to close a whole park for it." A man said.
    "It's kind of odd a random investigation in a public park I wish they could tell us what's going on." A mom with 2 kids told the camera.
    "Investigators still are yet to comment on this issue but maybe we'll here something soon. In Downtown Orlando, Amanda Ober, WESH 2 News." The reporter cued back to the station.
    "What does this have to do with Spiror?" Twilight asked.
    "Keep watching." Sam replied.
    "And more mysterious things are going on around Central Florida as more FBI trucks have arrived at UCF. We have Gail Paschall-Brown at the scene, Gail?" Jason said cueing the reporter.
    "Here in UCF, more FBI trucks are showing up as who knows what is going on in there because the investigators refuse to comment." The reporter said.
    "Yeah, like it's kinda weird that the FBI is here and like, they won't say anything, it kinda freaks me out." A female student said to the camera.
    "I trust that they have good intentions and that this will be over soon and we'll be able to resume our classes." A science professor said.
    "Investigators have still not yet-" the reporter was interrupted as an Agent stepped out. A bunch of reporters ran to the agent asking questions.
    "I can't say much but here is what I will say, we detected some sort of unknown activity here and we're checking it out but in the meantime please let us do our job." The agent said.
    "Well there you have it the FBI detected some unknown activity but we still don't know what it is. In UCF I'm Gail Paschall-Brown, WESH 2 News." The reporter said. 

    Sam grabbed the remote and turned off the TV.
    "Sound like your guy?" Sam asked.
    "Unknown activity, it may be Spiror trying to make a machine, I wonder what he's planning... take us to UCF!" Twilight said to Sam.
    "Ok, hop in my car." Sam said as he grabbed his keys. The Mane 6 then all got in his car and drove to UCF. 
    "So what about this machine that's so concerning?" Sam asked.
    "He was working on a machine back in Equestria and he may try and create another one but I still don't know what he will do." Twilight responded.
    "Well hopefully the police will find him." Sam said.
    "You don't understand, he has magic!" Twilight said.
    "Are you guys able to stop him?" Sam asked.
    "We can try but he is pretty powerful." Twilight replied. After a while, Sam pulled into UCF and was blocked by a police barrier. An officer guarding the barrier signaled to Sam to make a U-Turn.
    "Oh wow, so much for that." Sam says as he makes a U-Turn.
    "But why is it cut off?" Twilight asked.
    "How am I supposed to know? It's maybe because of the FBI." Sam said. Sam then turned on the radio to the news channel.
    "We have breaking news, the Orange County Sheriff's Department is evacuating the UCF campus do to odd radioactive signals coming from the Science building." The news reporter said.
    "Oh no, it's him." Twilight said.


Canterlot, Equestria

    Spike and Discord arrived in Canterlot to speak with Princess Celestia. 
    "You wanted to speak with me?" Celestia said as they entered the throne room.
    "Yes it's about Twilight and the others." Spike replied.
    "What happened?" Celestia asked.
    "Spiror fled into another dimension and they followed him in!" Spike explained.
    "What? Where." Celestia asked concerned.
    "I don't know but Discord maybe knows." Spike said.
    "Discord, can you bring me back to the portal so I can take a look." Celestia asked.
    "Oh please, I can open it up right here see." Discord said as he snapped his fingers and opened the portal. Once the portal opened a bunch of FBI agents on the other side noticed.
    "Sir! It opened!" An agent yelled. 
    "Wait what's going on in there?" Celestia said as she stepped over. A bunch of SWAT members gathered by the portal while aiming their weapons. Discord quickly closed the portal.
    "Well, that could have gone better." Discord said.
    "What was that?" Spiked asked.
    "I don't know, but we can't get to Twilight because the portal is blocked." Celestia said.
    "So what do we do now?" Spiked asked.
    "We have faith in Twilight and wait, maybe soon she'll find a way to reach out to us." Celestia said.

         
Washington, DC, United States

    The FBI director is waiting in the White House to speak with the president.
    "Director, the President will see you now." An advisor said. The Director stood up from his chair and walked into the Oval Office.
    "Hello, Director." The President said.
    "Mr. President we have an issue on our hands." The Director said.
    "Ok have a seat." The President said as he sat down on the Oval Office couch.
    "Mr. President one of my agents got a call from a Scientist saying that he detected a bend in space-time and foreign creatures in Orlando, Florida." The Director explained.
    "I'm sorry, what?" The President asked confused.
    "Then later he found foreign technology in a UCF building, possibly a weapon." The director said.
    "What's going on?" The President asked.
    "Sir I believe-" The Director was interrupted by an advisor coming into the office.
    "Mr. President, something has happened in Orlando." The advisor said.
    "What happened, we were just talking about Orlando." The President said.
    "An explosion occurred at the UCF campus. We just got the news." The Advisor said.
    The Director and the President ran out of the office to a TV showing the news.
    "Firefighters are on the scene trying to put this flame out. So far no one knows the direct cause of the explosion but the priority right now is make sure the students are safe." The news anchor reported while showing a burning building.
    "Oh my God." The President said while putting his hand over his mouth in shock.

    Back in Orlando, Sam attempts to enter the UCF campus. 
    "Hurry Sam we need to get in there!" Twilight yelled.
    "Ok! Ok! I'm trying!" Sam said panicked while attempting to find a way in.
    "It's no use! It's blocked everywhere!" Sam exclaimed. Twilight looked to the left of the window to see Spiror hiding while trying to run away.
    "There! I see him! Come on let's get him!" Twilight said as she jumped out of the car and the rest of the Mane 6 followed her.
    "Wait wait! Where are you going?" Sam yelled to them.
    "Stay here Sam, we'll take care of this." Twilight said as she ran.
    Spiror was crouching in the bushes attempting to hide.
    "Twilight, what if the same thing happens again?" Rainbow Dash said as they were running.
    "It's okay Rainbow, maybe his device won't work in another dimension, besides I got a plan." Twilight replied.
    "We can only hope." Rainbow Dash said.
    "Hey! We got you!" Twilight yelled to Spiror.
Spiror groaned under the bush.
"Oh, not these ponies again.'' He sais under his breath.
"Come out now!" Twilight yelled to him. Spiror got mad and shot a beam at the Mane 6. They quickly dodged it, barely missing it.
    "Alright, girls let's go!" Twilight said as they began to transform into Rainbow Power mode. 
    "Ready?" Twilight said.
    "Yeah!" They all replied.
Spiror began to grab his magical extractor but before he could fire it Twilight yelled to the others.
    "Split!" She yelled as they went off in different directions. Spiror then went charging after Twilight but before he could hit her Applejack slammed him to the side. As this was going on a few students noticed the commotion and went over to investigate. When they got there their jaws dropped.
    "What is going on here?" One female student said.
    "I have no freaking idea, dude get your phone!" A male student yelled to another as they quickly grabbed out their phones. They all began filming the fight as it was going on.
    "Dude, put this on YouTube when you're done!" A student yelled. Spiror charged a beam aimed at Fluttershy but then Twilight quickly blocked it with her magic. As Spiror began to run, Applejack and Rainbow Dash held both ends of a rope and tripped him over. 
    "Good work." Rainbow Dash said while hoof bumping Applejack. Applejack then tied him down with a rope and held him down.
    "It's over Spiror, we have you!" Twilight said.
    "Let's end this, come on girls!" As Twilight said that they began to float as they prepared for a final attack. 
    "Oh no, what can I do?" Spiror thought to himself. Spiror looked over at his magical extracter as it was too far away for him to reach it.
    "Of course!" He thought to himself as he focused and began to use his magic to levitate the device. As Twilight's eyes began to glow white Spiror quickly used his magic to activate that magical extractor. Twilight lost focus and noticed what Spiror was doing.
    "Abort!" Twilight yelled but it was too late.
Spiror launched and attack twice as powerful back at them. They all fell to the ground and were very weak.
    "Dammit!" Sam yelled as he hit his steering wheel when the Mane 6 failed.
    "What the heck just happened?!" The student filming said.
    "Hey! FBI! You kids shouldn't be around here it's dangerous!" An agent from far away yelled to the students filming.
    "No, it's not ready yet!" Spiror said as he quickly dashed off. 
    "Guys! Get in the car now!" Sam yelled to the Mane 6. Twilight opened her eyes to see Sam calling for them.
    "C-come on, we have to go!" Twilight said as she stood up and limped back to the car. The Mane 6 slowly followed behind her. Once they were all in the car Sam hit the gas and rushed away. 
    "You guys okay?!" Sam said while driving quickly down the street. 
    "We're fine, I think." Twilight said.
    "Don't worry I'm gonna get us home." Sam said. After a few minutes, Sam pulled up into his driveway. 
    "Come on guys get inside hurry!" Sam said as he opened the door and helped them get out of the car. Once inside Sam sat down on the sofa.
    "What happened back there?" Sam asked Twilight.
    "I don't know, I thought my strategy would work." Twilight said.
    "You guys are putting yourself in danger." Sam said.
    "You don't understand we need to stop this guy!" Twilight replied. Sam then turned on his TV
    "Alright, I need to see if this is on the NEWS." Sam said as he put the NEWS on.
    "Good evening everyone I'm Lester Holt and welcome to NBC Nightly News. We have a story about a Mystery explosion in Orlando, Florida just earlier today. Here's Ann Thompson with the story." The news reporter said.
    "At around 5:15 PM an explosion was reported at the UCF campus in Orlando, Florida at the Science Building. So far class was over and there are so far no reported causalities at this time." The reported said as the camera showed the building with the headline saying "Mystery explosion in Orlando" 
    "So far investigators believe this to be an act of terrorism, but so far do not have any leads. A student who witnessed the event caught a strange occurrence near the parking lot on camera. So far no one knows what this could be but it may look like another attempted attack." The screen showed a vertical low-quality video of the Mane 6 fighting Spiror. 
    "Investigators have no idea what could be going on in that video but will hope to find out soon. Ann Thompson, NBC News, Orlando." The reporter said. Sam brought out his phone and went to Twitter.
    "Oh my God." Sam said as he looked at the trending page.
    "What?" Twilight asked confused.
    "You guys are famous." Sam said as he showed Twilight his phone. The trending topics were: 1. Orlando 2. Ponies. 3. Aliens 4. #OrlandoExplosion. 
    "And take a look at this." Sam then clicked on a tweet.
    "Could be a fake video, I don't think Ponies with magic exist :|" The Tweet said.
