Inside Sunset's dream, she finds herself somewhere in a barren wasteland.
She looks around to see no one here and tries to call out to anyone.
"Hello!" Sunsets calls out, but no one responded back.
Her voice echoes around the wasteland and yet there was no sign life nor anything.
Some minutes later, her voice dies down as she thought there's nobody to answer her on why she's here.
Suddenly, Sunset hears something in the distance not far from her position. She runs off to follow the sounds as they are getting closer to her ears. Finally stopping near a cliff edge, her eyes widen upon seeing a massive battle. She sees a lot of strange creatures battling in what appears to be armies fighting to conquer the lands. Fear and sadness took hold on Sunset as she witness each lives have fallen one-by-one. Even the ones that tried to run away, but were taken down by their own kind.
"Make this stop, please." Sunset said in tears.
A minute later, all the creatures stopped fighting when they notice something from above the skies.
Sunset also notice this when the being slowly descends until it lands in the center battlefield.
She couldn't figure out what the being is saying as all the army put down their weapons and bow to him.
Sunset sighs in relief when the army stops fighting as each of them begins a new start and mourn their comrades.
Then a small sand storm appears and all the beings have suddenly disappeared.
Sunset got confused what happen to them and looks around, only to see the same figure standing in front of her.
"W-Who are you?" Sunset says to the being, noticing that it has eight wings on it's back.
"You must be my new partner." The being said smiling in a voice of a male.
It's smile then vanishes to a frown and glares at Sunset speaking in a cold tone.
"Don't disappoint me."
"GAH!"
Sunset wakes up in her bed with some sweat on her head and having some hyperventilation.
She eventually begins to calm down with some inhale and exhale.
"Weird, it felt like a dream, but what that place?" Sunset murmurs to herself.
Her elbow accidentally bumps something as it lands on a bean bag.
She turns her head and froze to see a shiny egg.
At that point, she's getting a hyperventilation again and her eyes are twitching.
Inside the Sugarcube Corner, customers and employees are having their normal days.
Until something happens, a loud yell rings out in all of Canterlot making everyone cover their ears. One of the employee who was carrying some food and drinks accidentally drops it, making a complete mess.
"Did I just hear a loud squeeing of a pony?" One of the customers said taking off her headphone.
"I believe so Vinyl." Her friend says, wiping off some stains on her clothing.
"Okay, okay, there has to be a scientific explanation."
Sunset is walking around in her apartment scratching and messing up her beautiful hair.
"Did I became pregnant before or after I arrived in this human world? No, that can't be right. I mean I have been a good pony under my former mentor. Wait, did she get me pregnant? No! Don't think that way Sunset. I'm sure she didn't do anything inappropriate to me. Although, I did try out one drink, but it was only one time. There's just no way I became a blood mother. What am I gonna do? I can't be ready to raising my own child all alone without someone else. Wait, am I still straight or not? Why am I so confused right now?"
After some minutes of losing her mind, she did her inhale and exhale trick again.
"Okay Sunset, just calm down and think straight. Don't lose focus."
She looks to her bed seeing a strange device and the egg still sitting on the bean bag.
"What is this egg and device doing in my apartment?"
She ponders in her mind on what to do as an idea pops into her head.
"Hmmm, maybe I can look at any books or computer and see any information on them."
So Sunset gets dressed in the bathroom and later heads out to her school at CHS.
Some hours later, Sunset came back to her apartment and lays down on her bed grumbling.
"Well, that was a total bummer." Sunset groans and curses in her pillow.
"Neither books nor tech computers have any information on the egg and device."
She turns her head right to look at the shiny egg and weird device. She picks up the device and uses her fingers to push any buttons on it, but got no response. Grumbling again, she puts the device down and also picks up the egg. She puts her ear to it and hear some slow beats inside, not knowing of what kind of animal or a rare creature will hatch.
"I guess this may not be so bad. At least I can do some study once this egg hatches."
Now Sunset can perhaps take care of the egg and find out why the device is with it.
However, there's just one problem; Poachers or somebody else might come looking for the egg soon. She has no idea of what those sick people or the ones in her world might do the egg. Either using experiments, train it in war, or something worse than that. She didn't want to think too badly on what happens next.
Sunset looks at her window and spots some leaves blowing away while holding the egg tight.
"How am I going to explain all of this to Twilight and the others?" She murmurs.
Meanwhile in Equestria. . .
Far away in the snowy mountains, a fissure opens up to reveal an unexpected sight. A largest rare material begins to crack as something else is breaking free from the inside. The whole material cracks opens to reveal a being laying in the snow. The temperature didn't affect it's body as the creature gets up to roar loudly and treks through the snow storm, heading towards several places in order to gain it's power and strength.
