//------------------------------// // Prologue: A New Galaxy // Story: Ratchet, Clank, And Spike: Journey Through The Galaxy // by dragonfan101 //------------------------------// We open in Equestria, Twilight and Spike are in they're castle and Twilight is reading a new book. "Wow, who knew teleportation spells could go so far!" Twilight said amazed "How far do you think they could go?" Spike asks coming into the room with some food. "Apparently focusing enough magic can send the person or an object almost anywhere!" Twilight said as she flipped to the next page. "Wonder where they could go or what they could do when they arrive at those kinds of places" Spike said as he sat down next to her looking at it with interest. "We should get the others and show them how far teleportation could take them!" Twilight suggested excitedly "What if they get sent somewhere that's to far away to the point they can't get back?" Spike asks worried "Don't worry, we'll just be using small objects while they watch" Twilight told him and he sighed in relief. "Alright, I'll go get the others while you set things up" Spike told her and she nodded agreeing, Spike then went out to the village to gather everyone. Rainbow dash was helping clearing some clouds when she had seen spike down calling for him, she then came down to see what's up "Everything alright Spike?" Rainbow dash asked "Twilight's got a new teleportation spell she's wanting to show everyone she was hoping you'd all come to see it" Spike explained and rainbow dash looked like she was ready to see it "Of course! Beats doing weather clearing all day, I'll head there right now" She said with a smile and went to the castle. Applejack had just gotten done with bucking more apples for the day and she was glad it was finally over, Spike then came up to her and she greeted her with a smile "Howdy Spike! How's everything going?" applejack asked with a smile "Twilight's got a new teleportation spell she was wondering if you all could go see it" Spike explained "Sounds interesting i'll head over there right now! "She said as she ran to the village Spike then proceeded to do the same with Rarity and Fluttershy and they all agreed and headed over there excitedly, he then went to Pinkie pies place but he found a note on the door. "Twilight's birthday is today, working on a special surprise for her so i'm busy for today." Spike read as he remembered it is her birthday "That's right it is! I should get her a little treat before i head back!" Spike then headed over to the bakery and payed for a special cupcake and headed back to the castle. he entered the lobby and found them all talking with each other and they all saw Spike. "Happy birthday Twilight!" Spike said as he came over as he gave her the cupcake "Right! I almost completely forgot today was it! Thank you so much spike!" She said happy as she gave him a hug "Pinkie said that she was making preparations for a surprise later, so i guess its just us for now" Spike told her as she let go "Pinkie is always big with parties, so i can understand that, come on lets get this teleportation spell started" Twilight said as they all followed her to the lobby. In the lobby there were multiple objects, a small chair, then a table, and a desk with a mirror on it, all with tags with her Cutie Mark on it. "Alright, if i can focus enough magic, i can send these almost anywhere" Twilight explained "How will we be able to find them" Rarity asked confused "I will have these special magic tags that will tell me where they go" She explained "That sounds simple enough" Applejack said understanding "Are you sure this will be safe Twilight?" Fluttershy asked "Yeah how do we know nothing will go wrong?" Rainbow dash asked "Don't worry girls, as long as i keep my focus nothing bad will happen" Twilight assured them, "Alright then, just be careful" Fluttershy said a little worried still. Twilight then focused her magic into her horn, she had aimed for the small chair first, after a few seconds of charging she shot it and it teleported away "Where'd it go?" Rarity asked "According to the tag, it teleported to the Dragon Lands... only for it to fall into a river of lava" Twilight said a little embarrassed "Well it was a really far one that's for sure" Spike said comforting her, she soon regained her focus "Alright, let's try to not get it teleported into a river of something this time" Twilight said focusing her magic on the table this time, she charged for almost 30 seconds until she fired and the thing teleported away too\ "Alright, this time it landed in the griffon kingdom" Twilight said as she looked at a special scroll she made "That's almost just as far Twilight, you should try charging for a little longer" Applejack suggested "Your right, this time i need to really focus" twilight said as she charged once again, unknown to them a certain pink pony was sneaking up for a little surprise... Twilight charged for about 5 minutes before her magic aura was bigger then a ball "Alright, now to try it one more.." She said before she was interrupted "SURPRISE!!!" Pinkie shouted scaring her to the point she lost focus and shot the blast, the blast bounced around the entire room until it hit the mirror of the object aiming at Spike "Oh!...." he is then cut off as the blast hits him teleporting him away leaving a bright blast. Soon the light died down and Twilight looks at Pinkie extremely upset " What the heck Pinkie?! I was in the middle of something both important and potentially dangerous if went wrong!" She asked extremely mad "I just wanted to make a surprise since its your birthday... a little bit of a bad timing i see now" She said sadly and twilight sighed "It's alright, it was only to make me happy, is everypony okay?" Twilight asked as she calmed down "We're all accounted for Twilight" Applejack said as all the main 6 were there, "Alright that's good, what about you Spike?" She looked where Spike was but he was gone... Her eyes widened in horror "Oh no...." She realized and soon the others realized it to. "Spike?!" Twilight called out but got no response. "Spike come on this isn't funny! "Rainbow dash shouted "Spike?!" She teleported across the castle, she even checked the scroll just incase it might show where he went but nothing was there. No... NO!" Twilight shouted and horror and teleported back to the rest "Where is he?!" Fluttershy asked extremely worried. "I can't find him anywhere" She said starting to cry "No, it can't be..., maybe Celestia can help find him!" Rainbow dash then just got the idea "Your right, send her a letter right now!" Twilight told them and they all went to tell her what happened "SPIKE WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?" Twilight shouted upset really worried about where he was. Meanwhile on planet Veldin in the Solana Galaxy... A young creature was fixing some machines in his workshop, he had just finished with the blueprints to make a ship to get off this planet "Now all i need are the parts to make it and i'm out of here" The creature said as he was making his way outside, he then noticed a bright flash in the distance and it caught his attention. "What was that?" he asks shocked and proceeds to run over to to where the light came from. When he arrived he found a creature he had never seen before on the ground unconscious and he went to check on it "what are you?" he asked about to check it but then it groaned and he backed up Spike then proceeded to open his eyes and groaned "Where am I?" Spike asked as he tried to focus his eyes "Hey are you okay?" A voice asked and Spike looked up at a blurry figure, he soon finally focused and his eyes widened in horror as he never saw anything like this creature before. he then screamed and backed away terrified. "Who... What are you?!" Spike asked scarred. "Woah calm down! I'm not gonna hurt you! " he said raising his arms showing he means no harm, Spike then saw he meant no harm and calmed down just a little "Who are you?" Spike asked still scarred and he slowly came up to him "It's okay.. i'm not gonna hurt you.. My name's Ratchet, what is yours" Ratchet asked offering a hand up "Spike..." he said nervously taking it and getting up. "Alright, just to let you know, my name's Ratchet, and this is the planet Veldin" Ratchet explained and his eyes widened "Veldin... that's never been heard off in Equestria" Spike said shocked "Equestria? is that the planet your from?" He asked making Spike's eyes widen more "Planet? I believe some call it Equis. but i don't understand still what is this place?" Spike said as he was still shocked "Okay this is the planet Veldin in the Solana Galaxy, I'm ratchet" he said once again Spike then looked around and his eyes widened as he realized he wasn't home at all, he was far away from it, lightyears in fact. "This... this isn't my home... "Spike said starting to cry as ratchet noticed it "What am i gonna do? How can i get home? I don't have anyone with me..." Spike said as he broke down "Whoa calm down kid, i can help you get home" Ratchet said trying to comfort him and Spike looks up at him surprised "Really?" Spike asked shocked that he was willing to help "Yeah, helping others is what i want to do one day, so helping you would be a great step" Ratchet said with a smile, Spike jumped at him and hugged him surprising Ratchet "Thank you, this means so much!" Spike said with tears and ratchet hugged him back "Don't worry little guy, I'll help you, i just need to finish making a ship to get off this planet" Ratchet said with a smile and Spike looked confused "Ship like a boat kind of ship? Spike asked, and ratchet merely chuckled "I got a lot to tell you about buddy, come on I'll explain after we get to my home" Ratchet said picking him up Spike was thankful someone was willing to help, Spike just hopes Twilight is okay and can handle herself as he tries to make his way back home.
