Discord is floating on an upside down tree planted on a thorn bush observing the morning city of Canterlot. "Ugh how BOOOORING! Nothing really fun happens anymore."he says as he eats some cotton candy. To his surprise senses something is vary wrong, as if a powerful magic is interfering with the fabric of reality near by, "Hello...maybe I spoke too soon...oh who am I kidding! When this comes up to bite those ponies in the flank it will be HILARIOUS!" With the snap of his finger he teleports up to the vary top of Canterlot Summit and takes out a large telescope to observe the land below in search for the distortion.
The time is 12:00 AM and Luna is observing the sky and sighs in discomfort, still thinking that no one appreciates her beautiful night. A shockwave is felt coming from the sky, she flies up to see what caused it with much concern and yet ready's herself for combat. To her unfortunate dismay a loud cracking noise is heard from the sky and a rip in the fabric of reality opens up above her, the air is being sucked into the vacuum of nonexistence and Luna tries to fly away from what what would seem like her death...only to be rammed in the back by a falling hunk of metallic metal covered in what seems like a glowing yet flickering aura of blue hexagons. The object pushes the unconscious Luna forward and falls towards Ponyville. The city of Canterlot is woken up by this noise and look out their windows to see the object as its engines flicker off and smoke flies out the back and descends to the small village miles away. Luckily that rip in space time closed.
A loud crash is heard outside Twilight's castle, she runs over to the window to see pieces of her castle falling from the sky as a black object roars past her covered in a flickering blue light trailed by blue fire and smoke. Before it crashes however she notices a blue light fly off of it and land near her castle, stunned at the sight of Luna covered in ash and blood she flies over to her. "LUNA!" she cries out to her as she lands next to her, she turns to her, behind her in the sky the ship crashes into a field just outside of Ponyville yet not too far away from the Everfree Forrest. The look an Luna's face is one of exhaustion and pained as she collapses in front of the horrified friendship princess.
Fluttershy can only stare at the glowing inferno falling from the sky as her friends run over to her, to their dismay a torso of what seems to be a bipedal creature falls on her front lawn along with a few sleek mechanical limbs and equipment. The torso seems to have 8 wings on its back, the wings are all white, flat, and smooth, with blue lines running down from the base to the the tips, in the center of each wing a diamond shape with what looks like a camera lense in the center of it, the lines reach the edge of each wing fallowed by a massive trail of blue glowing liquid that seems to be making the grass catch fire coming from her. Each wing has a diamond shape as well. One of the wings is badly damaged and seems to be scorched by an unknown force, but the damage to the wing seems to have a white lights glowing coming from the damaged metal...if you could even call it that. Her arms and legs lay near by as they lay unmoving, with that blue glowing liquid leaking out of them. Large portions of the skin on the limbs and torso seem to be burned off revealing a flexible undercoating that has a similar texture to her wings, only covered in that blue glowing liquid as they appear to be torn and shredded, she's wearing some kind of medical gown, her expression is neutral yet you can see the slight spark of pain and desperate emotions coming from her. Her hair being pitch black and long, the color turns to silver about half way to the end of each strand, her eyes being blue and yet lifeless, unable to move her head she looks at Twilight with here eyes who hovers over her with bafflement.
The angel says with a desperate and sad tone "C-core uuuunssss-stAble...plEAse...h-hElp mE...systEmmm...s-shUtdOwnnnn..." Twilight felt horrified, wondering what could do such a thing to this human.
"What the hell is that!?" said Rainbow Dash as she points at the angel.
"its...a human..."said Twilight in shock looking over the body, collecting herself she carries the body and limbs with her magic.
"We need to get to that ship to find something to help her!" the friendship princess shouted in a determined tone.
"Are you crazy!? Their might be brain stealing aliens in there! What if they think we did this to their robot thing!" said Applejack in protest.
"She spoke Equestrian, so if we come in contact with any we can talk it out, but we don't have time to argue! Come on!" said Twilight as she begins to fly off towards the crash sight with the mane 6 close behind. Upon reaching the crash sight from the side, as they do they start to notice the details of it.
(For the sake of simplicity this is what the ship looks like)
(I do not own this image)
The ship seems to be over a mile long and has a white color to it, no indication of who it belongs to can be seen on its haul, giving it a strange vibe. "Wow...theirs no way this thing can fly..." said Dash as she looks at the vessel with a skeptical expression.
"I think it looks rather...unique, not bad, not good but...oh I guess theirs not a word to describe what I think of it really, if I could say anything about it it looks rather bulky" said Rarity as she examine the over all appearance of the ship itself.
"It looks like it was used for transport...look theirs an opening!" said Twilight as she points up to an array of 10 hangers side by side, with the doors open.
"And how do you suppose we get up there?" said Rarity.
"Remember that cloud walking spell I used on you guys when we went to Cloudsdale? That was permanent." said Twilight shyly.
"Hay I could get some clouds and take us up there!" suggested Dash, she flies away and brings back a cloud, flying around it at such a speed she carves it into carriage and brings it down for her friends to climb on. Fluttershy decides to ride in it despite being a pegasus.
"Not too fast Rainbow I don't want to drop these." suggested Twilight as she gestures the parts of the angel.
"Yeah yeah whatever." said Dash as she takes the ponies up to the hanger, she lands the cloud carriage next to a large pile of crates.
The mane 6 look around at their surroundings, the floor is gray and smoother than Canterlot Castle's floors, the walls are gray as well but parallel to the entrance is a door way, but above that is a strange symbol, its an atomic symbol that appears to be combined with a stylized magic circle. With the only things in the room are a few crates and a large black stealth fighter off in the distance of the large hanger.
"Oooooh scary!" said Pinkie as she picks up a strange device from a near by a crate, using her pony magic she accidentally pulls the trigger and fires a bolt of plasma and laser energy at the ceiling leaving a scorch mark, its a Light Hybrid Rifle.
"Pinkie! put that down before you kill somepony!" said Twilight.
"Right sorry!" Pinkie puts the rifle back on the crate.
"6 life forms detected, scanning...threat level 4, initializing in deep scan." said a monotone yet seemingly automated voice that's coming from feels like everywhere. The ponies feel a tingling sensation all over and inside their bodies.
"Scan complete, your goal is to repair the Angel Class Sentinel Type Alpha: Serena. Please fallow the blue line to the robotics lab." said the voice as a blue line appears in front of the mane 6 with arrows on it that points them to the door.
"Show yourself! I'm not afraid of you!" said Dash only to get no reply.
"Darling please, I don't think that thing wants to hurt us." said Rarity to reassure her friend.
"Besides, if they wanted to kill us they would have done it already, look" said Twilight as she points to the corner of the room with what appears to be a bigger version of what Pinkie fired earlier.
"That...looks like..." said Pinkie as she looks back at the crate with the gun on it. They all nervously walk towards the door.
The mane 6 see the door is rectangular and dose not seem to have any way of opening it, they get closer only for it to slide open all by itself.
"Heh, cool." said Dash as they all go through the door, it closes behind them.
They are inside a long hallway parallel to the hanger, the blue line points to the right. "What do you think would happen if we didn't fallow the line?" asked Pinkie.
"Ah think its best we don't find out." said Applejack as she tries not to think about it.
They all notice a door built into the wall of the hall, the lines turns to into it implying they should go there. Approaching it, the door opens and they are met with a small circular room with a glowing blue floor and no ceiling, the door closes and and a map of the ship appears on the wall, with a red blinking dot in the middle and a red line going up near the top of the ship and right under a location labeled The Bridge The ponies hear a soft humming sound coming from the floor and are lifted from the floor and a shot upwards at a slowly accelerating rate only to slow down shortly after and come to a complete stop, the floor under them forms under them and is transparent, it feels warm, as if their standing on light. They all screamed the entire way.
"W-what the...the...thing that AGH! My brain hurts!" said Dash in trying to figure out what just happened.
"What just happened?" asked Pinkie only to smite the narrator.
"It felt like a gravity spell...and this thing we're standing on feels like...I...I don't know" said Twilight while she looks closer at the hard light floor.
"Come now, we don't wanna keep that thing waiting any more" said Applejack trying to get everypony back on track. They all nod and exit the gravity lift. The room they are standing is has a white floor and gray walls, however this room is filled with robotic equipment, in the center of the room appears to be a frame that Twilight can put the angel on. She levitates it to the frame and arrange them properly, by putting the arms next to the torso and the legs on the sides of the crotch area. The all hear a humming sound coming from the frame, it appears to be holding the pieces in place a beep is heard and a few holograms show up in front of Twilight indicating multiple problems with the unit. They show her schematics of the sentinel, she reads them.
After a few seconds of silence Fluttershy speaks up "I-is she gonna be alright?"
In response Twilight says "Its hard to even comprehend the complexity of this technology but from what I can tell theirs something called a "dark energy core" in her chest that needs to be recalerbruated or replaced before it could have a meltdown." she notices as she talks the holograms display what would happen to the ship if she had a meltdown, an image of the ponies being vaporized and a large hole in the ship is formed from a large explosion, and unstable radioactive fallout pollutes an area of 1,200 miles around the ship.
"Well what are ya waiting for! Go fix her before that happens!" said Dash.
"Me!? No I-I can't do that...w-we need to contact Celestia!" said Twilight trying to find an excuse, to everyone's surprise the voice from earlier replies.
"Relaying message to communication network...error no communication satellites detected calculating alternate communication method...method found." said the voice as a pen and paper materialize in front of Twilight. "Scans indicate a dragon who has possession of quantum manipulation magic, this spell can be replicated when you are ready to send message to the given target." said the voice once more.
"That must be Spike! I might be able to send a message to the princess about our situation!"
Dear Princess Celestia
As I'm sure you are aware by now, a large object has fallen from the sky and Luna is in the Ponyville hospital, and you must already be there by now. My friends and I encountered what appears to be a human like robot in desperate need of repairs. We brought her back to her ship, from the looks of it no one is here, except for a voice coming from the ship itself. We have been shown no hostilities thus far. The voice offered to help me send this to you. Please come here as soon as passable, we may need your help to fix this robot before her damaged power source destroys Equestria.
Your friend
Twilight Sparkle
She finishes the message, the voice says "Indicate target life form."
Twilight says "Princess Celestia." in hopes that the voice will know who she's talking about.
"Target found." says the voice as an image of Princess Celestia is seen displayed on a monitor next to the frame, it shows that she is standing in front of the hospital looking at the ship with an expression of wonder and worry.
