Twilight was greeted by the setting sun, stepping into the fading light Twilight gulped slightly, night was coming and she couldn't see Ponyville anywhere. Even here new home wasn`t viable.
Pterosaur looked at the sun, for the first time in a long time, then at the unicorn turned alicorn next to him. She was looking about in a panic.
"Where is it? where is it?" she repeated quietly fluttering above the thick tree line. Whatever she was looking for wasn`t seen and returned defeated to the floor.
Pterosaur placed a large claw/hoof on her shoulder "It`s too dangerous to move in this forest at night. We`ll have to wait until morning until it safe." he said he knew a night in this forest could kill the unprepared.
"Dangerous? How so?" asked Twilight, this forest weren't like the Everfree, no monsters roamed them, a few stories of ponies going missing in the night but other than that perfectly normal.
"Some of The Adviser's mistakes could still be present in the woods, mutated guard dogs mostly" he said peering into the gloom of the forest dense foliage. Then move back to the door way of the complex, ushering Twilight in.
"Mutated guard dogs?" she asked as they trotted down the corridors to the central control room.
Pterosaur nodded "Yeah, the Adviser made sure that before he left the unicorn forces he made a mark. The guard dogs he made were... wooden to say the lest" he said entering the room. and closing the massive steel door behind them. With a submarine style lock and hatch closing shut.
Twilight put pieces of information together "Wait Timbre-wolves are science experiments that got out?" she asked rapidly trotting over to the files and scanning through them.
"No, the guard dogs are domesticated versions of Timbre-wolves, the Adviser used a genetic accelerator to increase the breeding speed of the animal. One of the side affect was near sentience. The project was scrapped due to the higher ups not wanting anything rivalling them" he said sitting on a chair with his arms crossed.
Twilight frowned as she searched through the files once again, finding some of the work of 'The Adviser' then a through hit her 'What does The Adviser look like?' she pondered, as she was thinking Pterosaur was also thinking.
"Have I missed anything important?" he asked, Twilight turned with a raised eyebrow.
"Well that depends on your definition of important"
"'The world about to be destroyed as we know it' important" he replied using his finger much like a griffin would.
"Well, a Centaur tried to consume all the magic in Equestria, he`s know locked up in tartauros. The spirit of chaos and disharmony was reformed. And Princess Luna was consumed by jealousy and tried to place the world into eternal darkness, trap on the moon for a thousand years then reformed. I think that was everything?" she said unsure of anything else to add.
Pterosaur smiled slightly "Seems like nothing changed to much, anyway I assume your an academic type?"
"Yeah but how did you...?" she asked then realized the massive pile of files next to her.
"Call it intuition" he said with a smile "And knowing your type you`ll want to take those files back to Princess Celestia was it?" Twilight nodded
"They would be safer in Equestria than anyplace else, if they fall into somepony`s hoof that don`t care about anypony else it could be the precipice of disaster" she said flicking through another file.
"Ragnadon?" she said lifting the file closed with her magic.
Pterosaur frowned You found his file?" he moved over and looked at the file. "Your idea of taking them back seems even smarter know" he said looking through the other files.
"What so bad about this Ragnadon guy?" said Twilight opening the file, the image of Ragnadon in action made her nearly vomit.
"Ragnadon, his name literally meant 'Doom tooth' he`s the only one of all 375 of us who knew where we came from, the griffin land from the north. Named after there legond of the end of the world Ragnarock"
Twilight closed the file without a second through, hyperventilating, calming herself she turned to Pterosaur "We need a way off transporting all of this files in one go"
Pterosaur looked around and pointed to another file.
Experimental proto-type internal combustion engine- fuel magic
Twilight looked at him "What?" Pterosaur started packing all the files away, "Like a steam train without the tracks or the steam" picking up a filling cabinet with his wings he began to walk down the open doorway deeper into the complex.
The dark corridor lights flickered on, and the bulbs hum was heard down the corridor. Pterosaur and Twilight trotted down the corridor, finally stopping at a door, with the word 'Test lab' opening it with a solid buck Pterosaur walked into the room.
Placing the cabinet down the lights turned on, the room was full of strange box like contraptions on wheels, with canvas backs and glass windows on the front, Pterosaur looked around for a moment, then walked over to the large green canvas covering something underneath.
Pulling it off, it reviled something strange, a small metal box with window and small rectangle protruding from the front of it with small light-bulbs placed in the front.
"What is that?" she asked walking over to the contraption.
"Troop transport in theory, the amount of magic needed was enormous through, only an alicorn magic was powerful and stable enough for fuelling it"
Twilight looked at the strange contraption, Pterosaur looked at the troop transportation as well, Twilight sent out a small magic spark, Pterosaur open the door and sat, fiddling with something under the window, the mechanical beast of the contraption roared into life.
"Come get in I`ll load the files" he said jumping out and placing the flies into the back of the metal box, Twilight studded the interior of the contraption, full of dials and switches, with a strange wheel on one side of the cabin a stick jutting out between both the seats.
Pterosaur got back in "Strap in" he stated, stamping down on a pedal in the hoof weal, and the contraption shot forwards, smashing through the wall, into the darkness of the night.
A single files floated to the ground, in the abandoned complex.
Twilight was panicking for her life. holding onto the dash-board for dear life, all her limbs streaked out straight, every bump in the road was felt, as the contraption rattled along the old forest path. With the small lights in the front not giving much lamination.
Pterosaur made a sharp turn, flinging Twilight and the cabinet into the left hand side of the transport. Her face plastered on the window. "Sorry" he said after the path straighten out.
Twilight looked out the window, the forest trees zipping by almost becoming a blur. as the trees became less dense, running paws were heard, looking out the window at the back, a large wooden bull-dog was chasing them. Pterosaur noticed as well.
"Twilight in my belt there`s a small black metal object" he said still driving, Twilight followed his directions
"Yeah got it what do I do with it?" she asked holding the small bladed disk in her magic.
"Throw it at the Timbre-hound" he stated.
Twilight gulped opening the window and leaning her head out, the blade was released and hit dead into the beasts chest, it collapsed to the ground, it red glowing eyes fixed on Twilight. It`s mournful howl echoed behind them.
Pterosaur pushed the peddle down harder, "You Ok?" he asked Twilight, who nodded shakily.
The transport when on into the darkness of the forest.
Applejack and Rainbow both sat near the bridge to Ponyville, hoping there friend would come back, Pinkie had gone to get something for them to eat.
"I`m back" bubbled the ever optimistic mare hopping down the cobblestone path, with a bag of cupcakes balanced on her head.
"Thank ya Pinkie" stated Applejack, as Pinkie passed out the cupcakes.
Rainbow eyes didn`t move from her perch on the bridge, focused on the distance, she didn`t like it sitting there not looking for Twilight.
"Ya`h ok Rainbow?" asked Applejack snapping her out of the trance.
"Yeah I`m fine, I just worried that all" she said returning to here watch.
Pinkie, suddenly shivered, then proceeded to front flip onto her head and span until she was 4 feet under ground, sitting up "Oh that a new one, I wonder what it means?
Applejack and Rainbow looked at each other at Pinkie, the similarity to a 'doozie' was staggering both off them looked out over the land.
Where are ya`h Twi?"
