//------------------------------// // Falling From The Stars // Story: Fluffy Raptor Cyborgs From Space // by Undertotem //------------------------------// The sun of Celestia was beginning to rise up in the sky, giving light to the world bellow. The sun was shining, the birds are singing, and ponies were beginning to rise from their beds to start their day. Twilight rose from her bed, and and fixed herself up, fixing her bed head, brushing her teeth, and doing her morning ritual to start the day. She headed down to her castles kitchen, only to see Spike preparing both of their breakfast. "Good morning Spike." Twilight said greeting the baby dragon. "Morning Twilight. I made mixed fruits and pancakes today and we still have one carton of apple juice so I used up all of it for today's breakfast. It's all on the table." Spike said as he placed the last few pancakes on a plate. He then placed the plate on the dining table along with the other different types of food. "Thanks for the food Spike, these all look great, I always liked how you cooked your pancakes. So how's your day been doing as of now?" Twilight asked as she took a piece of pancake filled with whipped cream, syrup, and fruits to her mouth. "Nothing much today, but we are starting to lose some ingredients and some drinks and some snacks. So I'm gonna go to town and do some shopping." Spike said as he then chewed a clawfull of pancakes and fruits. "Well then, I should join you, there's still a few hours before the school does start. So we still have time to go around town and buy the supplies that we need." Twilight said as she finished her food and then started drinking the the last of the apple juice in her cup. "You go on ahead and fix up, while I clean the dishes. Make sure that you make a list of things that we need to buy just so we don't forget about some things that we don't have." Twilight said as she carried the plates and utensils towards the sink and started cleaning them. "Sure thing Twilight." Spike said, "I'll be back in a few minutes." Spike then left the room to fix himself up, as well as make a small list of the things that he needed to buy. After a few moments, Spike was finished with what he was doing, and Twilight has finished cleaning the dishes. Carrying a bag of bits in his claws, Spike waited for Twilight at the front of the castle. Spike's wait time only lasted for a few minutes before he saw Twilight at the end of the corridor. "Are you ready Spike?" Twilight asked the young dragon. "Sure am!" Spike said to the purple alicorn enthusiastically. A few hours later, Twilight and Spike were walking out of the market street, carrying the items that they have bought with them as they were heading back to the castle. There was still about one hour before Twilight heads towards the school. Twilight then addressed Spike to run down the list of all the items that they bought. "-milk, bread, butter, a variety of sauce, and flour! We're all complete!" Spike said as he rolled the small list and stuffed it into the paper bag. Twilight then smiled, "That's good, now we just need to drop these in the castles kitchen and head to the school. Hopefully Starlight was able to fix things up in the school before we arrive. Oooohh~, I'm so exited for the annual star fall later tonight, aren't you excited Spike?" She said and Spike 'mhhmed' as they walked the streets of Ponyville. But as they walked on forward, they started to notice that ponies were stopping on their tracks, and looking up. They were about to ignore this but their attention was quickly taken by the amount of murmurs and whispers around them. Spike and Twilight looked around them, only to see the ponies doing their work stop their work and take a look up the where the other ponies were looking. Twilight was about to look up but her attention was grabbed by a voice behind her. "Twilight!!! There you are, I've been looking all over for you, you weren't at the castle so I thought that you went out!!! This is really important, I think that Ponyville might be in danger!!! We have do do something abo-" A pony with lilac coat with purple and teal mane and tail said, only to be silenced by Twilight as she speaks to the pony. "Hey, hey, calm down Starlight, Speak slowly. What do you mean Ponyville might be in danger? What do you mean-" Twilight said, only for Spike to take her attention. "Uuuhhhh, T-Twilight, I-I think you need to see this." Spike said as he looked up to where the ponies around them were looking and pointed up so that Twilight would be able to see what he was referring to. Twilight on the other hoof looked up, only for her eyes to focus on a rather bright light at the distance. "It's just a bright light, what could make that light become some danger to Ponyville, well granted its rather bright in the middle of the day but-" Twilight said, only for Starlight to grab hold of her head and directed it towards the light. "NO!!! LOOK!!!" Starlight said. Twilight then squinted at the bright light, only to see the light get abit more brighter for about a second. Then she saw a black outline around the light, that soon became larger. At this point, Twilight eyes widened as she takes note of three things, one, something was falling, two, the falling thing was burning, and three, it was headed straight at them. So Twilight did the sane thing to do........ "EVERYPONY EVACUATE!!!!!!" Twilight yelled, and soon everypony was running around like headless chickens, gathering their belongings and essentials as they prepare to evacuate Ponyville. Meanwhile, Twilight's other friends saw the mayhem happening in the town, so they decided to meet up with the purple alicorn themselves, just so they would get answers. "Twilight! What the HAY is going on!!!" Rainbow dash said as she was flying over the running ponies. "Hoo~ nelly. I haven't seen Ponyville in a state of panic since, well, Tirek." Applejack said as she looked around the running mob of panicking ponies. "Look girls, I'm going to try and explain it later, but for now we need to evacuate every pony. If I'm right, and that thing falls, there's a big chance that it would hit majority of Ponyville. We need to hurry and evacuate the students as well." Twilight said as she continued to run along with her friends, with Spike on her back. "But Twilight, couldn't you just hold it with your magic?" Rarity asked, knowing full well that Twilight's magic is the strongest out of all of them. "Well, when going at that speed, I don't think I could stop it. If it does manage to slow down by some miracle, then maybe I can, along with the help of Starlight." Twilight said as she looked worriedly at her student. Twilight and her friends were evacuating everycreature out of the school to keep them safe. She then looked up at the sky, only to see the object relatively getting closer to their location. She hurried the students, but still kept herself in check as to not panic the students. But the falling burning object was getting too close for comfort, so when the object got close to her castle and the school, the did what she thought wouldn't work. Grasping the object with her magic. "Starlight!!! I need your help!!!" Twilight said as her horn glowed. Fortunately she managed to take hold of the falling object, and managed to slow down its fall. But it still wasn't enough. Starlight Glimmer then teleported behind Twilight, only for her eyes to widen as she sees her mentor trying to stop the gigantic falling object. Without hesitation, Starlight used her magic to help her teacher carry the weight of the falling object, adding power to the already strong hold. The large object roared loudly overhead has the sound of straining metal and propulsion reaches everycreatures ears. The object soon slowed down enough that Twilight and Starlight was able to take hold of the object, nearly hitting the side of the school building. Although straining their magic due to the sheer weight, they managed to float the large object to a safe open area a ways away from the school and the castle. With fatigue straining their bodies, mostly Starlight, the alicorn and unicorn looked behind them as they heard cheers from everycreature. All cheering for the success on saving Ponyville and the School of Friendship once again. "That. Was. Flipping COOL!!! Did you see how Headmare Twilight and Starlight handle that big thing!?!?" Twilight and Starlight heard Smolder say, as she continues to talk to her friends about what happened. Both ponies sighed with relief, knowing that they managed to keep everycreature safe. Both of them then looked at the large burning object. From what they could observe, colors of white and gold were noticeable from the object even if they are slightly scorched, angular shapes that looked like steel covered the entirety of the object, and heat was being emitted all over the object. "What do you think it is Twilight?" Starlight asked, curious as well as wary of what the white and gold object is. "I don't know Starlight. But what ever it is, it's no doubt that it was crashing or something." Twilight replied. "Heh, from the looks of it, it looks like one of those things from the comics that Spike read." Starlight said, trying to lighten the mood. "What, like Aliens??? Pleeeaaasssee, those things don't exist. End even if they do, they would-" Twilight was saying, only for her words to be cut off as a loud hiss sounded from the white and gold object, taking their attention. After the loud hiss, something fell infront of them, and when they turned their head to look at what landed, they saw what looked like a tail and claws, sprouting out of the ground. "Wha-" They both said.
