Forced to Live in Peace Chapter 1: out of the Blue color of the Slips-pace Rupture. TIME: DATE RECORD [[ERROR]] ANOMALY \Date Unknown\ On surface of flagship Ascendant Justice, in anomalous Slipspace bubble. The newly formed Blue team was taking heavy fire from the invisible covenant soldiers just outside the now human commandeered ship “Ascendant Justice” trying to repair the damage some saurian aliens caused. Then as if out of nowhere, one of the plasma streams that the Smart A.I. Cortana had fired in hope of defending the ship bounced and it was going straight at the them. Spartan Anton-044 could feel the heat of the plasma stream; it was unbearable and it’s radiation sent most of the systems of his MJOLNIR mark V suit out of control, his suit self-compensated for a drastic and false change in gravity and pressure, Anton passed out, he could feel speeding away from the Covenant – Human hybrid ship and then darkness reigned. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Celestia’s mornings where always busy; first was her breakfast with her sister Luna, for which it meant dinner (being the regal sisters of the sun and the moon respectively meant that their work times kept them apart for most of the days). After the meal it was almost like clockwork, dealing with politicians of the cities of Equestria, countries from outside Equestria, visiting other areas outside her palace, it all seemed so boring the best part was that from time to time her faithful student Twilight Sparkle would sent to her a letter, this day however something was wrong as she suddenly felt a great rip of energy appeared high in space. Luna felt it as well, it was as if a sun had ignited then disappeared all of the sudden, moments later both sisters transported themselves to outer space covered in a magic bubble containing oxygen for their survival, being alicorns gave them an edge above most unicorns as their magic power near impossible to match. “Luna what are you doing up so late?” “The same reason as you are here and not on a meeting Tia” Luna made a pause to look at their surroundings “This anomaly woke me from my slumber, it is like nothing I have ever felt before” “I agree Luna, It is quite strange… would you like to come with me and investigate?” “With pleasure” with that both princesses started reaching for the place they felt the strange source of energy came. Princess Luna noticed something in the distance. “It seems that there is some sort of wreckage over there, let us go and see if we can find some answers around here” As Celestia tried to close in the foreign objects Luna stopped her by crossing her foreleg in front of her “Luna? Is there a problem?” “Sister I sense something wrong, this place reeks of some kind of energy unknown to us and I am not sure if it is dangerous” Celestia concentrated her magic and saw that her sister was right there were remnants of some substance and energy floating from within, though little did remain of both she decided to let Luna shove it aside with her magic. “What an odd looking debris Luna and look, these appear to be some form of armored creatures, this 4 have what seems to be limbs it seems that their body shape is like that of Spike 2 arms and 2 legs” Luna nodded in agreement. “Indeed sister, those 2 in blue armor appear to be of different species as they have 3… claws they seem weird; I take it that the ship is theirs as their armor has the same sleek design, it could have be a means of transportation” The old covenant transport ship was floating out of control, almost out of shape the only thing remaining mostly intact was the cockpit. The princesses looked inside it and inside were the remnants of an alien mostly charred on one side. “Luna maybe you are wrong, it seems the one inside is different it has 5 claws this might be the ship from the green ones even if their clothing is different” “Maybe I am wrong but it could also be that this was stolen from them, either way we must clean this wreckage from here, the astronomers must have noticed and I bet your student did as well, I propose taking the corpses and give them a funeral pyre and bring the objects so we can study them” A green flame and smoke appeared swirling from thin air and after disappearing it created a scroll. “I bet she wants to see if you know anything about the sudden lights in the sky” “You are mostly right Luna” The regent of the sun told her sister. “She actually felt the surge of energy I am shocked she could feel it as well” “I am actually shocked that she took so long to write you about it, you seriously need to give her more credit” “You are right, she is the element of magic, her power will only grow in time and it is fitting that she can feel energy fluctuations this early in life” With than both princesses divided the bubble, Luna took the remnants of the ship while her sister took the four creatures as they teleported back to the castle to one of the underground rooms. “Well Tia I’m quite tired I will make way to my chambers” “Good night Luna, maybe when you wake up Twilight will be here at the castle” “You are calling her here?” “Why not? She is a gifted scholar and my student. I am sure she will be delighted to study these specimens and you will be able to greet her, how does that sound?” “Magnificent Tia, now I’m off to sleep. Bye!” with that she disappeared in a dark bubble. Princess Celestia on her part locked the doors and stationed a couple of guards outside the chamber. Moments after she left one of the green armored creatures started regaining consciousness.
