//------------------------------// // When 2 sides meet // Story: My Little Pony meets SD Gundam Force // by atfalcon261 //------------------------------// "Alright, is everypony ready?" Twilight asked, looking at her friends. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity now were there, along with her, Fluttershy and Alex, as all seven of them stood outside of the Everfree Forest. They came here after the emergency meeting at Ponyville Town Hall, where Twilight explained about the object that appeared in the sky and crashed in the eastern side of the forest to the citizens. She then told them that she and her friends would investigate. "Ready Twi!" Applejack said with confidence. "Me too!" Rainbow Dash added. "As am I." Rarity pitched. "Uh, I don't know, coundn't we wait for Princess Celestia to send some guards to handle this?" Fluttershy asked nervously. "Don't worry Fluttershy," Alex said holding her hoof. "I won't let anything happen to you or the other girls." "Besides," Pinkie Pie said. "I'm sure it only is looking for fun and friendship, which I'll do by throwing a "Welcome and be best friends with us" party!" She pulled a string on her pack, and confetti and streamers appeared in a displaying style. "That depends on if this thing is friendly." Twilight reminded her. "Come on, lets go!" With that, they entered the forest. Moments later, ponies were deep in the forest. Twilight leading the way while looking at a map, Applejack walking behind her, Rarity behind her, Alex was behind her with Fluttershy close to him and still holding his hoof. Pinkie Pie skipping behind them, and Rainbow Dash bringing up the rear. "According to the map I drew up, we should be a few more yards away from where that thing landed." Twilight said, looking up from the map. "Thank goodness, the sooner we get there, the better." Rarity spoke, putting her left hoof on her mane. "I think my hair is starting to get fritzy." "Shhh." Applejack exclaimed. "Y'all hear that?" The other ponies listened, and soon enough, they heard faint voices coming from behind the bush in front of them. "There's something behind that bush." Alex said. "A lot of something." Fluttershy said, holding Alex's hoof tightly. "Somepony should take a look." Applejack spoke. "I'll do it." Twilight said, as she slowly went towards the bush. "Be careful Twilight." Rainbow Dash. Meanwhile, at the same time as the ponies had been walking, Shute, the Gundam Force, and the Genki Energy Squad were walking through the forest, making their way towards the town outside of it. "This place seemed better from the top." Grappler Gouf said, looking at the trees surrounding them. "I agree zako." 1 Zako soldier nodded, trembling rapidly. "You think we should've brought a few more members of the Argama crew with us?" Genkimaru asked, floating above them. "While that idea would've been wiser." Zero said, also floating above the group. "Princess Rele and the Argama will be better protected incase someone tries to raid the ship while the port engine is being worked on." "Besides Genkimaru, the twelve of us can handle anything that's in this forest." Said Bakunatsumaru, with confidence. "Unless there are ghosts, then the eleven of us can handle it." Zero teased. This angered Bakunatsumaru, resulting in another one of their "famous arguments." While they continued to bicker with the Genki Energy Squad watching, sweat drops appearing on their heads, Captian Gundam looked at Shute, who was trying to handle walking on his four pony legs. He had been struggling all the way from the Argama, and though he started getting better at it, he was still saddened by his transformation. "This is going to take some getting use to." Shute sighed in depression. "Don't feel bad Shute." Captain said, trying to comfort his best friend as he could. "You mastered using two legs, I know you'll be able to handle this." After hearing this, Shute looked up at Captain and smiled. "Thanks Captain. That makes me feel better." He said happily. "You're welcome Shute." Captain replied. "By the way, I noticed that the talisman isn't around your neck anymore." "Oh yeah. I guess I was still freaking out about being turned into a pony, that I forgot about that." Shute said, feeling his neck. "What do you think happened to it?" Before Captain could answer, his head suddenly perked up and looked straight at the bush infront of them. "Captain? What is it?" Shute asked. His question got the others attention aswell. "My sensors are picking up voices from behind the bush." Captain said. "Duh, me hear voices too." Destroyer Dom said, holding his right hand up to the right side of his head, as if he had an ear there. "Think they're friendly or dangerous?" Zapper Zaku asked. "Only one way to find out." Shute said. He began carefully heading towards the bush. Everyone had their hands near their weapons, while Captain stood there ready to change modes and move in quick incase whatever's behind the bush was hostile and tried to attack Shute. When Shute split the bush aside, he was greeted by a purple face. He screamed, so did the face but it was a girlish scream. Shute fell backwards to the ground as Captain came to his aid. When they looked straight back infront of them, they were all surprised at what they saw. There, looking back at them in shock and awe, were seven ponies, six girls and one boy. The first two ponies looked just like Shute, except one was orange, both her mane and tail were yellow and tied in ponytails. She had lime-green eyes, and three freckles each of her cheeks. On her flank were three red apples, and to top it all off, she had a cowgirl style hat on her head. The other pony was light pink, while her mane and tail were magenta and puffy. Her eyes were blue and while the other ponies faces had nervous and concerned looks, her face had a big, grinning smile. She had three balloons on her flank.1 blue, 1 light blue, and 1 yellow. The next two ponies had wings on both sides of their bodies. One pony was cyan with a rainbow colored mane and tail. She had magenta eyes and a cloud shooting a rainbow colored lightening bolt on her flank. The other was yellow and had a long pink mane and tail. Her eyes were teal-green and as the group noticed, she seem very timid. On her flank were three pink-winged butterflies. The other two ponies didn't have wings, but a horn on their heads. The first one was white with a violet mane and tail, that looked to have been fashionably styled. She had blue eyes, long eyelashes, and light blue eyeliner. Her flank showed three diamonds. The second pony, who also fell backwards to the ground after the face-to-face encounter with Shute, was purple and had a violet-blue mane and tail with a pink stripe. Her eyes were violet and her flank had a pink six pointed star, surrounded by several small white stars. The seventh pony surprised Shute and the others most of all, because he had both wings and a horn. He was nighttime blue, the same as his eyes, and his mane and tail were silver. His flank showed the black silloute of a wolf. "Twilight, are you alright?" He said, helping the purple pony up. "Yeah, I'm okay Alex." She replied, shaking any dirt off of her. "Hey." Shute spoke up, walking towards the pony group. "Sorry I scared you. And don't worry, we're not going harm you guys." "Oh that's okay. I'm sure I gave you an equal scare." The purple pony accepted his apology. "My name is Twilight Sparkle. And these are my friends. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy and her boyfriend, Alex. What's your name?" "I'm Shute." Shute responded. "This is the Gundam Force and the Genki Energy Squad." "Greetings. I am Captain Gundam." Captain introduced himself. Six roses appeared before the six female ponies, while Zero kneeled before them. "I'm Zero, the Winged Knight." He said with his usual knightly charm. "It is an honor to meet such lovely maidens." While the girls(except Rarity) were confused by this gesture, Bakunatsumaru grabbed Zero's cape, and yanked him backwards. "Sorry about that." He spoke, turning back to them, bowing. "My name is Bakunatsumaru, the Blazing Samurai." "Name's Genkimaru." Said the little Mussha Gundam. "Call me Zapper Zaku." "Grappler Gouf is my name." "Duh me Destroyer Dom." "We're Zako soldiers." "Oh! You're so cute!" Fluttershy exclaimed, as she managed to grab Genkimaru and the five Zako soldiers, and hugged them all so tightly. "So what are you guys, like robots?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Affirmative." Captain replied. "Oh my gosh!" Pinkie Pie said excitingly, popping up in between Bakunatsumaru and Grappler Gouf. "This is so exciting! I've never thrown a party and made friends with a robot before, let alone twelve robots. This is the greatest day eveeeer!" Before she could pull her party pack string agian, Twilight used her magic to grab her tail and dragged her away. "You'll have to excuse Pinke Pie, she just loves to throw parties for anypony she's never met before." Twilight said. "So what are you guys doing here in the Everfree Forest anyway? "Our ship came here through a portal, and we crash landed in this forest." Bakunatsumaru told her. "Wait a minute, so that thing we saw was your ship?" Alex asked. "No." Grappler Gouf said sarcastically. "It was our flying, magic carpet. Of course it was our ship!" He then shouted before Zero smacked him on the back of his head. "So you're aliens?" Applejack asked. "Actually no. We're from a different dimensional world than this one." Shute said. "What is this world by the way?" "This is Equestria, but what do you mean by "different dimensional world"?" Twilight asked. "Well, we can explain that to you, but not here." Shute responded. "You guys woundn't be from that town we saw outside the forest, would you?" "As a matter of fact, we are." Twilight replied." We'll be happy to take you there." "In that case, lead the way!" Exclaimed Shute, eagerly. With that, the Mane 7 lead their new friends through the way the came into the forest back to Ponyville.
