June 2, 2017

Mountain View, California, United States

     "Okay so, I've had enough of this we need to go public."
     "Why is that?"
     "Another alien was found on an Oil Rig in Norway."
     "Mr. Doren, how do you know this?"
     "A friend in Norway sent me a link to this Tumblr blog about aliens he runs. A friend of his who lives on an oil rig spotted it and took this photograph." He then showed him the picture on his phone.
     "Are you certain it's not photoshopped?"
     "Positive, he would never lie to me."
     "Okay SETI steps of Discovery step 1, done. Now on to step 2."
     "Okay, Sounds good, let me know when it's done."
     "Alerting all observers now."


Punta Gorda Natural Reserve, Nicaragua

     Spiror arrived back at the shore where his machine is stored. He stopped the ship on the beach and jumped off.
     "Hey! Spiror!" The guard said.
     "Hey, whatever your name is. That's right, I forgot to name you guys." Spiror said as he unloaded the oil.
     "Did you get enough?
     "More than enough, begin fueling the machine." Spiror ordered.
     "Yes, Sir! You heard him! Start fueling!" The guard said to the other minions. Once the tank was full of oil they began to turn it on. It began to make noises and smoke came out of the exhaust.
     "Yes! It works! And even more powerful." Spiror celebrated.


Managua, Nicaragua

     "Mr. President we detected something via radar at the Preserve."
     "Is it the Americans?" President Ortega asked.
     "No, it's the same signal before the Orlando attack, energy stronger than a nuclear reactor."
     "Evacuate the surrounding areas now!" President Ortega ordered.


Orlando, Florida, United States

     Sam walked out of his bedroom into the kitchen to grab his keys.
     "Okay you guys I'm going out with my girlfriend so don't tear up the place while I'm gone okay?" Sam said.
     "Ok Sam...." Twilight said sadly.
     "What has you down?" Sam asked.
     "Well I'm bored, there's nothing to do." Twilight answered.
     "You can watch a movie?" Sam suggested.
     "We can't go to a Cinema, we'll be seen." Twilight said.
     "You don't have to, you can see one on my TV right here." Sam said.
     "Watch movies...at home?" Twilight said.
     "Well yeah, you can." Sam replied.
     "Oh my Goodness! Is there anything this world doesn't have?" Twilight said excitedly. Sam opened Netflix on his Xbox One.
     "What movie do you want to watch?" Sam asked as he scrolled through.
     "Ooooh Sausage Party! Sounds fun!" Pinkie Pie said while looking at the TV.
     "No, no no no no, trust me, it's not." Sam said as he quickly scrolled past.
     "What about that one? Zootopia?" Twilight asked.
     "Oh, that one? It's about talking animals living normally and it's a police drama/comedy." Sam explained.
     "Oh boy, that sounds so cute!" Fluttershy said.
     "Zootopia it is then." Sam clicked play.
     "I'll see you later gals." Sam said as he left the house.


Fashion Square Mall, Orlando

     "Hey! Over here!" Sam shouted to his girlfriend.
     "Yo, what's up my boi!" His girlfriend greeted him.
     "Ha, why do you say that?" Sam asked.
     "Sorry watched too much DashieGames."
     "So what do you want to do?" Sam asked.
     "Well let's just walk around and talk until we find something."
     "Good idea." Sam said as he walked down the mall with her.
     "Did you see what happened at UCF?"
     "Yeah, so tragic, and now there is a huge gun control debate going on even though it wasn't done with a gun." Sam said.
     "Well, Americans be weird. Did you see the so-called ponies in that video?"
     "Uhh...yeah yeah that was weird." Sam said as he cleared his throat.
     "They think that a human is helping them."
     "Wow how....strange." Sam said nervously.
     "Wait, it's June 2nd." His girlfriend said before running.
     "Wait! Where are you going?!" Sam chased after her into the movie theater.
     "What was that all about?" Sam asked.
     "Wonder Woman comes out today and I really want to see it!"
     "Woah you scared me there." Sam said as he walked up to the ticket booth to see a man staring at him from the food court. Sam froze and stared right back at the man sitting at a table.
     "What the hell...." Sam thought to himself as he stared back at the man.
     "Sam, are you okay?"
     "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Sam replied as he snapped out of it.
     "2 Tickets for Wonder Woman at 8:30." Sam told the clerk. Once they received the tickets they bought popcorn and soda and headed into the theater.
     "Hello, may I have your tickets please?" The clerk asked. Sam stood there with a blank face having a feeling he's being watched.
     "Sam....Sam?!" His girlfriend said as he snapped out of it.
     "Oh, here you go." Sam then handed the clerk the tickets.
     "Theater 2 on your left." The clerk said.
     "I can't wait for this movie!"
     "I hope you enjoy it because stuff here is expensive." Sam said as he walked into the theater.

     Once the movie ended the two walked out to the parking lot.
     "I had a great time tonight and I loved the movie!"
     "Yeah, it was nice." Sam replied still thinking about that man.
     "I guess I'll see you later."
     "Yeah, bye." Sam said not making eye contact with a blank expression.
     "What was that all about?" Sam wondered about the man as he walked to his car in the empty mall parking lot, as he began to bring out his keys a random guy came out of nowhere and threw a punch at Sam.
     "Dude! What was that for!?" Sam said as the man pinned him on the hood of his car.
     "You're him...you're him...you're him!" The man said while pinning Sam down.
     "Who dude who?!" Sam asked as the man pinned him down harder.
     "The guy from the video, you helped the aliens escape!" The man said
    "Look bud I have no idea-" Sam said before swinging away from the man's grip and got free. Sam began to get his keys before the man threw another punch hitting Sam's ear. Sam threw a punch back. The man attempted to punch Sam but missed and Sam kicked him away.
     "Freeze!" A flashlight shined on them.
     "Orange County Sheriff Department!"
Sam and the man put his hands up as the officer approached them.
     "Why are you guys fighting?" The Officer asked.
     "He came out of nowhere and punched me!" Sam told the officer.
     "He's the guy who helped the aliens!" The man said.
     "What? Sir are you on anything?"
     "No! I'm serious!" The man said.
     "Don't worry I saw what happened, I saw you come up and punch this dude I just wanted to know why." The officer said.
     "Turn around put your hands behind your back." The Officer ordered the man. Once the man was in the police cruiser the Officer went back to Sam.
     "I've had enough of these dumbasses today." The Officer thought to herself.
     "Do you know this man?" The Officer asked Sam.
     "No, Officer he came up and punched and I have no idea who he is." Sam told the officer.
     "It's okay sir but watch out next time this area is a little sketchy. I'm so sorry this had to happen, Sir, you're free to go." The Officer said to Sam while rolling her eyes. Sam quickly got in his car and drove home.
     "Strange, she didn't even ask for my name." Sam thought on the drive over.

     Once inside his house, he quickly locked the door behind him.
     "Phew, I'm safe. Hey gals what's-" Sam looked at his living room to see the Mane 6 sleeping.
     "I'll just leave them be." Sam said as he went to his bedroom. He sat down at his desk and went to Google Chrome on his desktop. He went to Wesh.com to see the top story.
     "Citizens evacuated in Central America?" Sam read as he clicked the link.
     "Gotta turn the TV on now." Sam ran to the living room.
     "Guys, guys! Wake up." Sam grabbed the TV remote and turned on the News.
     "What is it, Sam?" Twilight said half asleep.
     "I think we have an update on Spiror, if my hunch is right, this could be him." Sam pointed at the TV.
     "The Nicaragua and Costa Rican Governments are evacuating citizens above 13th Parallel and below the 10th Parallel for unknown reasons at this time. All Costa Rican Citizens north of San Jose must evacuate south and any Nicaragua Citizens living below the 13th must evacuate North. The capital of Nicaragua is being moved to Puerto Cabezas." The News anchor said.
     "The reason I think it's Spiror is that this was the reaction before the attack on UCF, if that is true, this could be him, why else would they evacuate entire parts of countries for?" Sam said.
     "You may be right, but it could be another deterrent or distraction from him, we need to do more research." Twilight said.
     "In Norway, citizens are fleeing east after a report of extraterrestrials right off the coast of Stavanger. This comes after the scare in UCF after a report of possible extraterrestrials in the parking lot. Norwegian citizens are in a huge panic as these reports emerge. The Swedish government has closed the border after floods of refugees flee into Sweden from Norway." The reporter said.



June 3rd, 2017

Oslo, Norway

     The Norwegian Prime minister sat there waiting on her phone at her desk.
     "Hello?"
     "Finally, I need to talk to you." The Prime Minister said.
     "Ah, Ms. Solberg." The Swedish Prime Minister replied.
     "Why did you close the border between us?" PM Solberg asked.
     "Your people are flooding into our country and we can only sustain so many people."
     "But our people are frightened, they need a place to go, there could be an impending attack against us." Solberg said.
     "You believe in that sci-fi?"
     "It could be and it may not be but I'm not taking any chances with my people's safety."
     "The answer is no, Ms. Solberg."
     "I thought you were very accepting of refugees huh?" Ms. Solberg said smugly.
     "How dare you...I don't want any of your people in my country and that is final." The Swedish Prime Minister said as he hung up.
     "We're still going in. Push the refugees East I don't care about borders, we need to keep our people safe." Ms. Solberg said to one of her staff members.


Orlando, Florida, United States

     Sam sat in the living room with his laptop.
     "So, secluded land in Nicaragua." Sam typed into Google.
     "So they evacuated everyone above the 13th and below the 10th so it must be around here." Sam said as he scrolled through Google Maps.
     "Are you sure this will help us find him?" Twilight asked.
     "Well, a good enough estimate." Sam replied.
     "In the middle of the 10th and 13th are the Indio Maiz Biological Reserve and the Punta Gorda Natural Reserve. So he must be hiding between those areas." Sam said as he opened another tab to Google the reserve. He typed "Puta Gorda" and hit enter and a bunch of strange photos popped up.
     "Oops! Forgot the N." Sam then embarrassingly added the N to the search bar and hit enter. Results for Punta Gorda, Florida pop up.
     "No no no, not here." He then added "Nicaragua" and hit enter.
     "Punta Gorda Natural Reserve. It's secluded and empty, sounds like a good place for a secret base." Sam said.
     "But how do we get there?" Twilight asked.
     "What? You guys want to go there?" Sam replied.
     "We need to stop him!" Twilight said.
     "But I can't take you across the continent."
     "Then how do we defeat him?"
     "How about we wait for the government to find his exact location, take him in and maybe you guys can stop him if he's closer."
     "Okay, but we can't keep sitting here doing nothing, are you sure your government can handle it?" Twilight asked.
     "Yeah...sure." Sam said as he turned around and took a sip from his mug. As he turned around he looked out his window to see his neighbor throwing suitcases into the back of a van.
     "What the heck are they doing?" Sam said as he looked closer. He shut the back of the van as his family ran from his house into the van. Once they were all inside the van they quickly pulled out and scurried away.
     "What was that all about?" Sam wondered.
     "So Sam, I was wondering about this world and I have another question." Twilight said.
     "Sure, what is it?" Sam replied.
     "Is the United States really "United" or do the States not like each other like the United Kingdom?" She asked.
     "Ha, no the US is pretty divided especially after the 2016 election." Sam answered.
     "Then how do you expect a divided country to fight off evil?" Twilight asked.
     "Well that's the thing, they can't. Let's say we need to go to war, for the US to declare war, 2/3 of Congress needs to agree to do so, without them the most the president can do is just send troops, and even that power is limited. And he can't receive federal funding without Congress. And if the president wants action usually the political party who opposes him would boycott or vote no just because they don't like him, I really hope that if something happens we can all agree on something for once." Sam explained.


Ponyville, Equestria

     Starlight ran around Twilight's Castle's Library looking frantically through shelves.
     "Oh, where is it?!" She exclaimed while throwing book around.
     "Chill out Starlight, everything will be okay." Trixie said laying down while eating popcorn.
     "This isn't a joke, Trixie! My friends are trapped in another dimension and they could be dead for all I know!" Starlight yelled in an angry tone.
     "Oh, sorry Starlight, if it makes you feel any better, I'll help you search." Trixie said with her head pointed down.
     "Good! Now try and find an interdimensional spell or something close to it." Starlight said as she kept looking. After around 15 minutes of searching and searching and nothing turned up, Trixie finally found something of interest.
     "Ooooh! Starlight I found something!" Trixie said excitedly.
     "What? What did you find?" Starlight said as she quickly ran over.
     "It's a spell that allows you to see into another dimension from here." Trixie explained.
     "Hmm, with a little bit of altering I can make this work." Starlight said as she grabbed a quill.


June 4th, 2017

Jerusalem, Israel

     "Mr. President we have an issue." A staff member said.
     "What is the problem?" President Rivilin asked.
     "A scientist from the SETI Institute is on the phone. He says it is urgent sir." He replied. President Rivilin picked up the phone.
     "Hello?"
     "Hello, I'm with the SETI Institute and one of your citizens contacted me about possible extraterrestrials."
     "Where?"
     "One attack in Orlando, Florida and another off the coast of Norway."
     "Why does this concern me?" President Rivilin asked.
     "It concerns you because it was one of your citizens who filed the report and we need to contact a government so you were the first option."
     "Should I be worried?"
     "I wouldn't use that word maybe "concerned" about what's going on."
     "Okay, I will be on the lookout."


New York, New York, United States

     "Mr. Doren!" A staff member called out.
     "Right here!" Mr. Doren said as he stood up and walked into the office. The interviewer shut the door and sat down.
     "Ok, Mr. Doren. How can we help you?"
     "Hi, I work with SETI Officially the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, and I'm here to possibly give a public statement about an issue." Mr. Doren said.
     "What issue did you want to give a statement of?"
     "Regarding the extraterrestrial spottings in Florida and Norway." He explained.
     "So you're saying that these are real sightings of aliens?"
     "Indeed they are, and the others at SETI are trying to figure out a way to tell the public."
     "So why did you choose NBC News?"
     "I thought a lot of people would be reached using your news network so I came here." Mr. Doren said.
     "Your story is very interesting, we'll call you if we have an opening, we're done for now."
     "Thank you very much." He stood up from his chair and walked out.


Canterlot, Equestria

     Starlight Glimmer and Trixie walked up the platform to the palace doors.
     "State your business" The guard said to them.
     "Yeah I'm Starlight Glimmer and this is Trixie. We're here on friendship business and we need to speak with the princess." She explained while Trixie was snacking on Cinnamon Nuts.
     "Starlight Glimmer? Hold on, I'll be right back." The guard said as he went inside.
     A few minutes had passed and Starlight and Trixie stood there waiting before the guard then opened the door.
     "The Princess will see you now." The guard said as he opened the door for them.
     They ran up the stairs reaching the throne room in a fast manner.
     "Oh hello Starlight! What's the matter?" Princess Celestia asked.
     "We may have found a way to get to the dimension the girls went to." Starlight said.
     Princess Celestia Gasped.
     "You have? How?" She asked.
     "We have the spell but we need more power so, I thought you and the other 2 princesses could help?" Starlight said.
     "Oh, I would do anything to try and get them back! I'll contact Luna and Cadence. Is there anything else you need?" Celestia asked.
     "Oh yeah and an open field but I can take care of that." Starlight replied.
     "So when and where are we doing this?"
     "Go here first thing in the morning tomorrow." Starlight said while pointing at a map.
     "You got it, we'll be there."
     "Good." Starlight said as she exited the castle with Trixie. Once they both walked out of the castle doors, Trixie looked at Starlight with concern.
     "So you really think this will work?" Trixie asked Starlight.
     "Got any better ideas? Besides, we need to try our best to find Twilight and the others." Starlight said as she and Trixie walked to the Canterlot train station.
