Chapter 3: Escape
Mike was scared as to what had happened. Four fighter jets had just flown in front of him at 400 knots, turned around at an impossible angle, and stopped his plane in seconds. He looked at the wings protruding from either side of his craft, and quickly noticed three different horse-like animals under his left wing. One was purple, another cyan, the other butter yellow. Mike stepped back from his cock pit window as one of them, no, two of them looked up at him.
"What the hell is happening?" he said to himself.

All there was was this big beast sitting in this open field, as well as Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Twilight. Fluttershy flew up to the windows at the front and said,
"Hello? Anypony there?" she waved a hoof in front of the glass as if it were eyes.
"I don't think it talks," she said quietly to her friends on the ground, who were straining to hear. "either that," she continued, "or it's just shy."
"It don't think it's shy," said Twilight. "I mean, look at it, it's huge!" Rainbow Dash flew up to it and knocked on the glass panes of the cockpit.
"It's glass," she said.
"What does that mean?" asked Fluttershy.
"duh, it means that it's pony made. Hello!" Rainbow Dash tried to peer through the glass, but the tint was too dark.
"Anypony in there? If there is, come on out!"
"I don't think it's pony made, Rainbow." said Twilight.
"Why would you think that?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Look at it! There's no way anypony could build such a thing!" Twilight had a point. The thing was massive, and obviously not pony made, and judging by what it was made of, it couldn't have been alive.
"Well," said Fluttershy, "I think we should find a way in-"
"Found one!" Rainbow Dash said quickly. She was flying next to a large door-like thing in the side of the beast.
"Well, that was easy." said Twilight. "Now, lets find a way to open it."

Mike was trying to comprehend what he just saw. Two Pegasi, one cyan, one butter-yellow, were flying just outside his cockpit, seemingly trying to communicate with him. Great. That "portal" that he went through must have sent him to a magical land of intelligent, talking Pegasi. They must be searching his plane, looking for him. They had to have been doing it slowly and carefully, which meant they must be somewhere around the sides of his cockpit. There's no way he'd use the cockpit's door. He looked around the field where his plane was. The field was smaller then he originally thought, and the forest around it was rather close. He would use the cargo exit at the back, and bolt to the wilderness to escape the Pegasi. But how fast are they? Could they outrun him, or in this case, outfly him? He have to try. Mike opened the access door, connecting the cockpit to the fuselage. He looked through the empty space to the large cargo door at the very back. It didn't seem like a long distance at all. He just had to flick the switch on the control board, and bolt. It was now or never. He had to go.
He flicked the switch and bolted toward the back of the aircraft. The door was opening slowly but surely. By the time he got there, it would be fully extended. He jumped onto the door as it was finishing its turn, and he ran through the tall grass straight for the safety of the woods. Mike didn't dare look back. He jumped over a bush and through the treeline.
"Wait!" a voice came from behind him. There was no way he was slowing down. He continued running through the trees and bushes, when he tripped over a large fallen branch. He fell to the ground, and scrambled to get back up.
"STOP!" the same voice came from behind him. Mike turned around to see the cyan Pegasus heading straight for him at an amazing speed. He got up and began running, but something hit his back and he collapsed again.
"Would you calm down?!" the voice came again, sounding very close to him. He tried to get up, only to find out that he had been restrained.
"Oh god..." thought Mike. "God... please... no...!"
