- Hours earlier -
Twilight looked around her, she didn't know where exactly the spell had sent her and the others- that alone marked off anywhere in Equestia. She ignored the bickering of AJ and Dashy, more focused on the large metal... Things on wheels? Strange. What was even stranger was that not a single one was intact.
She was studying the weird things that when Rarity tapped her on the shoulder she let loose a massive, high pitched scream as she left the ground so fast, Rainbow was seriously considering the possibility her friend had Pegasus blood. Twilight took a total of five minutes to get her heartbeat rate down.
"I do so apologies dear, I don't mean to cause you fright. I merely wished to ask if you knew where we are?"
"No. I don't think we're in Equestia though."
"Well, let's not just stand grazing grass! Let's go savage us an city!"
The girls turned to the pink earth pony and if not for the simple being used to the randomness, they would be seriously considering their sanity.
The cotton candy maned mare was wearing what was an obviously leather suit that seemed to not be made for four legged animal as the clothes had knee guards on two of the limbs, and nothing on the forelegs. Lastly she found some sorta helmet with eyes but one was missing, in it's place was broken glass.
There was a least a few cups of dried blood scattered across the entire thing.
This however was beyond the four ponies capacity of simply shrugging off and simultaneously four shreks vibrated through the area, echoing in the canons.
"Pinkie! Take that off! It's covered in blood!"
"It is?" The said earth pony looked down and hummed, "why yes it is. Oh well it was a size too big anyway."
Pinkie proceeded to jump off the border, leaving the armor somehow behind in a neatly folded fashion.
"Ho-how I-is it-" Twilight started before Applejack placed a hoof on the element of magics shoulder, giving the unicorn a pointed look.
"Right, it's Pinkie Pie."
"Yep." The farm pony replied popping the p.
The group of five started to follow the beaten up road in a northbound direction as Rainbow saw a massive white building in that general location, and if the creatures of this world were like them, their leader would be in the highest location possible.
They were walking, or in Rainbows case flying, for about an hour maybe two when Pinkie stopped dead still.
"What's wr-" Twilight started to ask but stopped when she, along with the others watched as the hyperactive mare seemed to have a seizure. Her limbs were shaking like noodles and her tail all but flattened out like a cats.
The four mares glanced between one another before speaking: "oh, no."
A rustle of bushes took their eyes as a group of yellow almost gold scaled geckos the size of Big Mac came out.
Rainbow, ether in bravery or ego, flew right up to them and held out a hoof. "Hi! I'm Rainbow Da-AHHH!"
The leading gecko, instead of greeting the element of loyalty had chosen to dig its claws into her flesh.
The Pegasus was quick to increase the distance as her foreleg bled violently. "What was that for?!"
"Now that wasn't ve-" Rarity yelped as the leader lounged at the mares causing them to quickly turn and run.
"Twilight! Teleport!" Applejack shouted as they ran full speed, she looked back to see the geckos were keeping up, if not catching up to the ponies.
"I can't! I need to be able to clearly visualize a location to teleport!"
"Than we better keep up the speed!"
They ran for what seemed like hours, carefully trying to remain on the road as they didn't want to get loss, when Rainbow saw something up ahead.
"I see a town! Maybe we can get help there!"
And with that the they doubled their efforts until at last, one of the residents of the town, Twilight thought was a machine, spotted them and raised an arm...
A flash originated from behind them and they glanced to look as the geckos were blown to bits.
The mares were so shocked by the killing that when a voice called out they barely heard it until a metal claw took Rainbows still bleeding leg.
"This is seriously injured. The town has a doctor and shelter. Please follow me."
The five elements turned to the voice and meet a weird machine rolling on a single wheel. It took another minute until the robots comment clicked and they hurried to it.
Twilight was trying to determine what the machine was as they walked through the town; GoodSprings she believed it was called. The town had a few houses here and there but three just seemed to grab your eye.
First was a bar called Prospector Salon, near the edge of the small town. Next to the Salon a store called GoodSprings general store... The only store that she could see.
And lastly was a big house that rested on a hill that the robot was leading them.
"Is something wrong?" The moving machine asked, obviously noticing her staring.
"What are you?"
"I am Securitron number 117 class 'John'. I am a defense and building model sent to GoodSpings to help the town."
"Who made you?"
"I was designed by the Head of New Vegas. We have arrived."
Indeed they had, and as John-117 was about to ring the doorbell said door already opened and the mares came face to face with an old man with a white mane and hunched back.
"Ah, Doctor Mitchell. I have an injured miss that could use your help. Code Nightkin."
The old doc could feel his eyes widen at the sight of five ponies and instantly knew why code Nightkin was issued.
"I'll see what I can do come inside you all, best I get a look at all of you while I'm at it."
Securitron John-117 waited for a second outside the door before turning around and headed to the shack. Upon reaching, he plunged himself into the generator and his screen changed from the military personality into a radar.
"Yes Man." He called to the head Securitron, knowing that the Queen would wish to know, "Code Harmony is active, five ponies have entered GoodSpings."
