//------------------------------// // Chapter 1:Star Storm // Story: Of Copy Abilities and Friendship // by MeeM //------------------------------// Chapter1:Star Storm Twilight had tucked Spike in due to him being too tired to go stargazing with her. Twilight trotted out to her castle’s balcony and peered through her telescope she hoped to see something at the very least interesting that night. “So how's star gazing going?” Starlight asked her before looking up with Twilight. “So far nothing” Twilight responded. “I always thought there could be something beyond the stars except the moon, but it looks like tonight isn’t my night” “well we may never know what lies beyond, if anything comes to us it would most likely be some kind of accident,” Starlight said But as she did Twilight’s eyes bulged in shock as she looked up, Starlight looked to where Twilight was looking and stared, just in the atmosphere was a massive portal in the shape of a star. They watched interested and horrified as many things began to rain down upon Equestria, a red and black star-like object was falling towards the crystal empire, a pink and blue one was falling at high speed towards the badlands, a yellow, pink, slight rainbow, and slight crystal star was falling towards Canterlot, a light blue and yellow star was falling towards Fluttershy's front yard, a massive ship came flying out explosions ringing around it, strange gears in spheres were falling all over Ponyville(Francisca and Magolor were panicking at this time) and finally a pink, black and yellow star was…. Heading straight for them! Twilight pushed Starlight back inside and jumped out of the way, her telescope along with most of the balcony were gone as Twilight heard the impact it roused Spike from his sleep causing him to run and check up on Twilight only to find her and Starlight staring at a strange star in the ground, it faded and disappeared leaving three strange beings in the crater unconscious. Twilight fluttered down with her wings, Starlight used her magic to slow her descent, they both trotted over to the crater as spike ran out the front entrance of her castle to catch up with them. The three of them looked in the hole, they found three figures one a round pink creature with strange things on its sides which twilight assumed were itś arms since she knew a thing or two about them after her trip to one of the many mirror versions of Equestria. The second one was similar to the first but was a strange shade of blue with a cape on his back that looked similar to Lunaś hair, Twilight saw two large bat-like wings under it, he also wore a silver mask and purple shoulder pads with a great letter M inscribed upon them, and lying in the dirt next to him was a golden lightning bolt-shaped sword with a red gem integrated into the hilt, Twilight and Starlight sensed a great magic presence coming from the sword. The last figure was the most notable to Twilight, she looked like one of the strange creatures she met in the mirror realm of Equestria, except without the legs, she did have the hands and she also wore a hat with two purple transparent hearts attached to it, it also had a strange wing like symbol on the top of it, she also clenched a spear that was crackling with lighting energy. Twilight nervously trotted down to them, "Twilight what are you doing we don't know if these things are dangerous yet!" Spike said nervously Twilight ignored his warning and poked the blue one with her hoof it stirred awake, it’s bright yellow eyes opening. "Uhhhhh, what happened?̈"Meta Knight said he slowly opened his eyes, he had remembered being sucked into the portal and everything prior but he wasn’t sure where the portal would take him. He looked up and saw a purple house like creature staring at him in shock, he looked around and saw Zan Partizane and his personal apprentice Kirby unconscious next to him. ”What are you?” the strange magenta creature in front of him asked ”I should be asking you that,” Meta Knight said as he stood up and dusted himself off he noticed Galaxia laying the ground, he picked it up and then put his cape around himself. ”Well I’m an alicorn and my name is Twilight Sparkle," The purple creature said "the baby dragon up there is Spike and the unicorn up there is my pupil Starlight Glimmer” “Hi…”Starlight said nervously. “Well, then do you know where we’ve ended up?” Meta Knight asked intently “you're currently in Equestria, where have you come from?” Twilight asked ̈"myself and my student here are from planet Popstar, and I don’t know where Zan came from we only just recently met her when she and her sisters came to Popstar in their search for the Jamba heart fragments.” Meta Knight explained “well then why don’t you come inside it's really cold out tonight” Twilight said as she shivered a little bit from the wind. Meta Knight lifted Kirby up and began to carry him to the castle, Starlight picked up Zan with her magic nervously as she carried her toward the castle with Spike in toe. Meanwhile... In the badlands, at Chrysalis NEW hive a strange pink and blue star crashed not to far away “My queen,” one of her drones said to her “a strange star-like object has fallen in the canyon near here, should we check it out?” “Send a party of scouts to investigate, I’m not sure what has happened but we can't let it interfere with what I have planned,” Chrysalis said with a commanding tone as she notified the scouting party through the hive mind. "There's something more to that star I can feel it" she said as she returned to her throne room. Marx felt water crash along his face bringing his consciousness back, “uhh, just five more minutes..”Marx said as he rubbed his eyes on his hat’s pom-poms. "That's different," Marx said as he noticed his surroundings, he got to his feet and spit out a new replacement ball to ride on “where did that portal take us Driblee?” Marx said as he bounced up and down on his ball “I don’t know, all I can assume is that we're in a desert of some kind” Driblee replied as she looked around, they were in some sort of canyon with no sign of life around them, sand and rocks littered the place, thankfully it wasn't too hot yet but Marx knew that daylight would change that. “It's late at night we might as well get some sleep we’ll find out where we’ve ended up tomorrow” Driblee said with a watery yawn, and soon the two secret lovers drifted off into sleep. “What do you think those are?” one of the scouts asked “I don’t know if anything we might as well bring them before the queen, they don't seem that dangerous” Another scout replied they slowly sneaked up on the two creatures.*snap* “Did you hear that?” Marx asked Driblee “I did, not sure what it was though, be on guard!” Dirblee replied as dark figures appeared behind them, everything looked fine, that is until he felt his consciousness fade in seconds, the changelings had hit the creatures over the back of the head causing them to blackout, I got a bad feeling about these creatures” one scout said as they picked up the two creatures and cocooned them, “we'll just have to see what the queen thinks of them” another scout said.
