//------------------------------// // A New Impact // Story: MLP: Chaos is Evolution // by Garebel //------------------------------// In Canterlot Castle, Celestia signed. It was after Nightmare Night, which meant she was basically teaching her little sister, Luna, about the current state of things, now. It made sense since Luna was stuck on the moon for one thousand years after all. However, after a few minutes, Luna was more focused at staring out the window, rather than learn. "Luna, what's wrong?" Celestia asked the small blue pony. “Sister, doesn’t Thou feel it? " Luna asked Celestia, who blinked and shrugged. "No, Luna, I do not feel anything. Why? Do you have a bad feeling about something?" Celestia asked. Luna shook her head. "Not a bad feeling, just…strange…" Luna replied, unsure what the feeling is warning her about. "I'm sure it's nothing..." Celestia trailed off, seeing something out of the ordinary. "Sister, what’s wrong?" Luna asked, before trailing Celestia's gaze. There, in the sky, was a small meteor. They would have brushed it aside, but the meteor was at a point where it should have disappeared already, but it had not done so at all. In fact, it was going to hit outside of Ponyville...Celestia and Luna's eyes widen, realizing there's a chance of danger to their subjects. They quickly teleported to Ponyville, to protect their subjects. "Arggh..." a male voice spoke, moving out of the wreckage of his spacecraft. "Burroughs, report! Are you okay?" the male asked. Suddenly, a image floating in mid air appear, showing a human woman, but anywhere above her mouth or below her upper torso was not seen. "Master, I'm okay. I already moved myself to the DFS Machine which, I still say is a weird name...Master, take a look in a mirror or something." The 'woman', Burroughs said in a worrying manner. "Why? What's wrong with...NO!!" the male all but screamed. Not so much about his looks, but rather... "WARNING, SELF-DESTURCTING SEQUENCE ACTIVATED!! REPEAT..." a mechanical voice droned out. "That wasn't me!" Burroughs said, worry clear in her voice. "It must be the crash!! Let's get out of here!" the male yelled before running out of the ship. He was so focused on running that he didn't notice that he was walking on all fours. He just managed to get out before the ship exploded, knocking him forward quite a bit and on his stomach. "Master! Initiate bio-scan!" Burroughs shouted, before a new image showing a black bar with two orange bars at the top and bottom of the bar, with the word 'SCANNING' on it appeared next to her. The new image soon disappeared. Burroughs looked at the result and signed. "Good, he's just unconscious. Then again...I still question, whenever or not a normal human can survive that or not..." Burroughs mused before she heard voices. "Must be the locals...Activate shutdown mode. Not taking an-y c-ha-n-ce-s..." Burroughs slurred out before disappearing all together. It was at this very moment; the two princesses soon arrived at...Celestia’s eyes widen in shock. So much destruction...Could that mean she failed? To protect anyone? "Sister, look!! Over there!!" Luna yelled. Celestia blinked and looked to where her sister was pointing. Sure enough, lying on the ground was an unconscious pony. Quick rushing towards the pony, they saw that the pony was uninjured on the outside, but, decided use some spells to find any internal injuries, to be safe. They blinked at the results. "Sister, this isn’t right…” Luna stuttered out, for good reason. The results are almost in flux, unable to give a clear reading, other than the fact that the pony is a colt. Celestia looked over the colt's body to figure out why. She nearly had a heart attack at what She saw. "Sister, I think I know why. Look at him more closely." She told her sister. She looked at Celestia in confusion before doing so. She quickly reached the same conclusion when she did so. "SISTER, WHAT SHOULD WE DO!?" Luna asked Celestia, whose face was scrunched in thoughts. "You try and disguise him, with an illusion of a sort, & I'll try to see if my student can help out." She said, remembering that Ponyville did not have a hospital yet. Luna nodded. "Okay, I’ll try…" Luna yelled before she closed her eyes. Since they are both Alicorns, their magic should work on him. Suddenly, Luna’s eyes open and widen in shock. "No! How!?" Luna yelled out, scared. "Sister, what's wrong?" Celestia asked her sister, wondering what's wrong. "My illusion spells failed to even touch him!!" Luna said, becoming more scared by the second. Celestia’s own eyes widen in shock. ‘That’s close to impossible.’ She thought. Quickly, she decided to see if an 'untouchable by light' spell would work on him. To her own surprise, it did, and the colt disappeared before their eyes. They looked at each other and nodded. "You better head back to the castle. I'll follow you after I dropped him off with my student." Celestia told Luna, who nodded before flying off. She then look to the colt was, removed her spell to make him visible again, lifted him up with Telekinesis, and then used her own spell on both of them to make them invisible, before heading to her student's home. Celestia arrived at her student's home, the Golden Oaks Library. Letting herself in, She saw an empty couch, and laid the colt out on it, before removing her spell from both herself and the colt. Knowing her student, Celestia went to the second floor, soon find a purple unicorn resting with some books nearby, while a baby dragon with purple and green was sleeping standing with some books in his hands. Celestia giggled quietly to herself. Her student was still a bookworm. Given the events of last night, though, she's not surprised. "Hey, Twilight..." Celestia got out before the pony woke up so fast, Celestia was surprised she didn't hit either of the bookcases on both sides of her bed, and the dragon almost used his normal flame. "What the...Celestia!" the pony shouted before running and stopping in front of Celestia, while the dragon saluted Celestia. Celestia stopped the pony from apologizing for not being prepared for Celestia's arrival. "Twilight, this isn't a normal visit, me and Luna found an colt that's currently out cold, near an impact site. I know it was not your friend, Rainbow Dash, since it was a sort of meteor." Celestia explained. The pony, Twilight's eyes widen in shock. "Where is he?" Twilight asked. "On your couch, Twilight. You might want to keep his presence on the down low, though." Celestia explained as they went down to the first floor. "Why is...oh..." Twilight start to ask but soon found her question answered. His appearance was more than enough reason, why Celestia want his presence unknown for now. Later, both Celestia and Twilight were discussing ideas while Spike, the baby dragon kept watch over him. Spike had decided to just poke him in the meantime being bored. Spike soon stopped when he heard someone groaning. He then looked around trying to find the source. Spike decided to focus back on the colt, only discover the groaning sound from the colt waking up. Spike's green silted eyes looked into the colt's bright green, surprisingly a mix between normal and silted, eyes. Spike was worried if the colt might try to get rid of him. Fate has a weird sense of humor sometimes… The duo are still trying to figure out what they should do with the colt when they heard a yell. Fearing the worst they headed downstairs...and wondered if they were seeing an illusion. The colt, who is now awake, had somehow changed his body's size by making all but the head, half as big, and was now running around Spike saying something at high speed. Celestia & Twilight had tried to stop him, since Spike was too dizzy to help, but they were ignored. Spike soon fell down on the ground, causing the colt to trip over Spike's tail. The colt ended up rolling into one of the bookcases causing all on that bookcase to fall on top of him. The colt soon emerged from the pile, unharmed and body normalized. He noticed Twilight & Celestia. The colt tried to say something only that he can't understand them, & they can't understand him. ‘(Great, Ah need to copy their laugauge…) Signing, the colt walked to in front of Twilight, who backed up. He frowned before noticing a good number of picture books around him. He went and look over them, but none were able to explain things to them via pictures. He growled, before noticing something. '(Wait, they write in English!? That would mean...)' He coughed a bit, clearing his throat, before speaking up. "Sorry about that." He said, laughing nervously. "Who are you!?" Celestia asked the colt who just shrugged. "Just call me, Garebel." The colt, Garebel, introduced himself. "'Garebel', huh?" Celestia looked over Garebel, suspicious of him, his reasons, & suddenly spoke in their language like he was born here, when they couldn't understand him before. She noticed this 'Garebel' colt seems to be in a sort of ready stance, like he was constantly on-guard. She needed to make the first move, but only when he's off-guard. Garebel simply watched Celestia with a look of confusion, & surprisingly, both relief and amusement. He shook his head. "Sorry for being rude, but may I have a mirror & bed to sleep in?" Garebel asked. Celestia looked like she still didn't trust him, but Twilight still brought a mirror in to allow him see his body. "Thanks, miss..." Garebel trailed off, now seeing his body in full. He, too, was an Ailcorn, like Celestia, but quite different. His body was mainly red, with some blue on the underside. All four of his legs were actually average, but his tail, wings and horn were unusual. His tail was long enough to wrap around one of his legs, but was shifting colors between red, blue, & green. At the tip of the tail were two blue spikes, one on the left and one on the right, which seemed to form a triangle with the tip inward. His wings were quite different, one was a black-feathered wing, but the other one was a white, dragon-like wing. It was striking to anypony, to see one wing different from the other on the same pony. His horn has it's base shaped like a shield, but around 3 inches up from the base, 3 rows of spikes, each row separated by an inch, were growing out from his horn, creating a weird horn-shape that was not seen before. On one of his sides was a shield being stabbed by two swords in different places, with the shield seeming to bleed from the wounds. In the middle where neither of the two swords is stabbed was a small crystal, with a shadow of a pony inside it. A half white, half black jacket rested around his fore torso. The Jacket also has 5 spikes pointing downward on the black over his leg, while the white side has 5 orbs dangling over and on the side of his other leg. "C-can I have a bed, now, please? I-I really need to sleep on this." Garebel said, actually sounding panicked. This was completely different & need him to get used to this new situation. Celestia, realizing that he, for now, means no harm, summoned a bed for Garebel, which he promptly put himself on it and fall asleep.
