Mega Man X: Forgotten Legend

The Everfree is Overrated

Applejack looked across the fields into the Everfree Forest. "Something doesn't seem right about that forest..."

A sound of a Timberwolf howling rang out from the forest.
---
Rainbow Dash napped peacefully on her cloud, when the sound of the Timberwolf startled her awake.

"What the hay?"

A cloud from the Everfree then promptly flew towards Rainbow Dash at breakneck speeds. It slammed into her with the force of a...marshmallow, and it knocked her clean off her cloud, and she fell flat on her face.

It was noon, and Princess Celestia was filling out paperwork, as usual. "I wish something would happen." Suddenly, she felt a powerful surge of energy from the Everfree Forest. Considering how far Canterlot was from the Everfree, this was significant. Luna yawned as she walked over to Celestia. The day was not her domain, and the shock of the energy had woken her from her rest.

"I take it that you also felt the force?"
"Yes, my dearest sister."

A scroll suddenly appeared in front of Celestia. She immediately knew what to expect.

Dear Princess Celestia,
I felt a powerful force flowing out of the Everfree forest. It doesn't seem to be magic, although I would say it feels similar. There seems to have been teleportation involved. The force was strong enough to knock Rainbow Dash off her cloud! That will be all for now. I have to clean the library after I tend to Rainbow's nose.

Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle

"It would seem that we have a visitor to Equestria, my sister." said Luna.

"Do you think you could talk to it through their dreams?" Celestia asked.

"I suppose I could try."

X landed inside a dark forest. He felt very tired. The teleporter had not said that it drained the energy of any reploid that used it to power itself! X noticed that he seemed to be charging a lot faster here for some reason. The sunlight felt... magical. He looked around; there was so much organic life! But was there sentient life? X jumped on a tree and began to kick his way up to the top. He looked from the top of the forest, magnifying his vision to scan for anything of interest. He saw a town to the north, and there seemed to be some objects flying around it. This was exactly what he was hoping to find. This is my chance to start a new life! X noticed that the sun was beginning to go down, and that meant his battery would stop charging. He suddenly realized that dangerous beasts could hunt at night, and although he doubted that an organic lifeform world stand a chance against a reploid, he decided to take no risks. With that, X jumped to a thick branch that was a good distance from the ground, lay down on it, and slipped into sleep mode.

Luna had raised the moon up and pushed the sun down at this hour.

"My beautiful night." she whispered.

Celestia stood next to Luna.

"The stars look fine tonight, Luna." said Celestia.

"Of course, sister. Maybe our visitor likes stargazing." said Luna.

"Well I'll be off to bed now. Wake me up if you need me, and see if you can talk to it through its dreams." said Celestia.

Luna simply nodded.

Luna sat in her chambers, focusing the magic needed for her dreamwalking spell. A trace of blue light left her body as her consciousness rose into the air. She saw thousands of small spheres of light. They represented the dreams that a pony had, and she could enter any one she wished. Luna moved quickly to Ponyville. Normally she might drop by one of the element bearer's dreams to say hello, but there was no time for that today. There was a single blue orb of light coming from the Everfree. She flew over to it and looked at the creature that was dreaming. It apparently had hands, wore a blue vest, blue shoes, and a blue helmet with a red gem in front of it. It was very blue, much like herself, and she could tell it had sad eyes, even as it was sleeping. She felt like she could relate to this blue creature. She reached out and touched the creature's dream orb.
