Chapter 2: Awakening
Beckii’s POV, 1,203 years ago
My eyes shot open only to be momentarily blinded by the sun overhead. Shielding my eyes with my arm I blinked a few times to regain my sight before looking around. Gone were the convention center and the cosplayers. Instead, I saw that I was lying on rough, uneven stone. Sitting up I saw Tom lying face down a few feet away. I scrambled to my feet and rushed over to my brother, flipping him onto his back.
“Tom? Tom wake up!” I said to him as I started shaking him trying to wake him. “WAKE UP!!” I shouted hitting his chest with my fist. I heard him let out a groan much to my relief.
“Five more minutes Becks.” He muttered, rolling onto his side facing away from me. I smiled at his actions for a moment before frowning again.
“Tom get your ass up NOW! It’s important.” I shouted in his ear, causing him to flinch and sit up before looking over at me.
“Did you have to...shout?” He asked me before he realized that we weren’t at the convention center. He stared at our surroundings for a while before asking me. “Beckii, where the hell are we?”
“I honestly have no clue. Definitely not the convention.” I said to him. He immediately turned and gave me a look that said ‘No, really.’
“Ignoring the obvious, what happened? Were we kidnapped?” He asked. I didn’t respond immediately. What if we had been kidnapped? My hands immediately began to rummage through my pockets, checking to see if anything was taken. To my surprise, I found that my wallet and phone was still in my pockets along with other stuff I had shoved into my pockets both before and during the convention, mainly food. (Don’t look at me like that. You try and buy snacks during a convention. The prices they charge are crazy.)
“I don’t think we were kidnapped. I still have my wallet and phone. You missing anything?” He rifled through his pockets before pulling out his wallet, phone, and...A Silver Eagle. We both stared at the coin as Tom turned it around inspecting every detail of it. He finally turned to be with confusion across his face.
“How did? Why is? WHY WAS THIS IN MY POCKET!?” He shouted, causing me to back up a step. Slowly moving towards my twin I placed my hands on his shoulders and kneeled down to look in his eyes.
“Tom. Tom look at me. Please.” I asked him. After a moment he complied staring at me with confusion and fear in his eyes. “You have to calm down. Panicking won’t help us one bit right now.” He continued to have a panic attack before I did something that usually brought him back to his senses. I slapped him. The hit sent him sprawling back onto the ground clutching his face. Rubbing it while muttering obscenities he shut his eyes and taking a few deep breaths, then opening them again.
“Thanks Becks, I needed that.” He said, smiling softly. I patted his shoulder before pulling him up.
“Come on, we need to find out where the hell we are?”
We walked for hours that day trying to reach the bottom of the mountain the both of them had woken on. It was a difficult enough to navigate our way through the boulders, but, it seemed, that nature didn’t want us to have an easy walk down. It started to rain. “Well, this is perfect.” I heard Tom complain from behind me.
“Shut up and help me find shelter.” I said to him before slipping on a slick rock and fell on my back. I sat up and began rubbing my back before I heard Tom’s voice over the rain.
“Beckii I found a cave. We can stay in there ‘till the rain dies down.” He called. I began crawling my way to my feet and moving towards the sounds of his voice. It worked well enough until I hit my head on a bit of outcropping rock. Cursing under my breath I felt a hand on my shoulder and instinctively elbowed the person.
“Ahh! Dammit Becks. What was that for?” Tom asked me as I turned to see him gripping his chest obviously winded.
“Oh, sorry Tom. I didn’t know it was you.” I apologized as I moved over towards him, but he waved my hands away.
“The cave’s a bit further. Here.” My twin said to me as we arrived at a hole on the rock face that stretched deep into the mountain if the darkness was anything to go by. Something in the back of my mind was telling me not to go into the cave. It never reached my mouth as I saw Tom walk into the cave and started after him.
“Tom, are you sure this place is safe?” I asked him as I neared where I thought he was. I heard a deep chuckle in the dark and a voice that definitely didn’t belong to my twin.
“This place very safe. You not.” I felt something hit the back of my head. After that I don’t know if I fell unconscious or the darkness of the cave became more intense. But the last thing I remember was hearing a more intelligent voice than the other say. “Search them for anything of value, then put them with others. They’ll start working when they wake.”
Celestia’s POV, Present time
I stared in shock at the Lutece twins who just stood there. The other ponies in the room, guards mainly, were in similar states of shock. Rosalind frowned before breaking the silence that nopony else would. "Well, this is starting to become rather awkward." Those words broke the silence that held the ponies in the room captive. Guards shot forward surrounding the twins with their spears pointed at their chests.
“Halt trespassers, in the name of the princesses.” One of the guards said to the twins.
“But we have halted.” Robert Lutece said to the guard, causing a look of confusion to cross his face. “We stopped moving ages ago.” This caused the guard’s face to turn red in anger. His horn lit with an orange glow and a bolt of magic shot at the Lutece and passed right through him.
“You missed.” Rosalind said, pointing out the obvious. The guard stared in confusion before firing off blast after blast at the twins none of which connected. I snapped out of my trance after one of the blasts sailed past Luna and me.
“Corporal, stand down.” My voice rang out causing the soldier to stop in place. He opened his mouth to retort, but, raising my hoof, he stayed silent. Turning back to face the twins, I didn’t bother to beat around the bush. “What are you two doing here?”

Um... wow... really short.... if you need more time man- than please take it. I would rather have a long and detailed chapter explaining things, that took a month or so too write, than a short, and seemingly out of place and confusing one. I don't know what to say though. There simply isn't enough storyline for me to comment on.
live, lived, will live.
die, died, will die.
So much to explain. Just so little room to do it in. Take you time if this is what's going to happen. 1k words minimum otherwise the flow of the story is gonna feel like a car that brakes too many times.
TOOO ShORT!
Jegus man if this is the kind of chapter your gonna release then be all means take longer to release chapters because this is seriously both a bit too short for my taste and also not advancing the plot or giving us backstory leading up to current events. Now don't get me wrong I still like seeing a new chapter, it's just that I would have preferred a longer and more informative one this early on in the story. Other then not doing that all that well, you did a pretty good job with this chapter. Also if you don't mind and are still reading this insanely long comment, then may I ask what happened to the other two bioshock infinite cosplayers? Did they also get sent to equestria do to their close proximity to the protagonists? or was the rift in space time extremely small and only affected our protagonists? On a completely different note, how do you think the bystanders at this con from which basically all of the accidental human villians in this universe disappear from (since its obviously the same con each time, when they are at a con) are reacting to the strange, and probably very bright and loud disappearnces?
Sorry this comment was so long.
Finally an update!!! :D

TORT indeed
In all seriousness though if it takes much longer to post a chapter because it's longer then I will be willing to wait
Not sure if everyone else thinks this way but it looks like a majority do so please don't worry about your readers being impatient
BURN THE SIZE OF THE SUN!
To short. Far, far to short. However I cannot fault the actual quality of the chapter so praise is given where praise is earned.
We waited... for weeks! And now all we receive is this little snippet! It's like your starving us man! Come on, more!!

They're probably panicking, as for the other two well you'll just have to wait and see.
Rosalind: Missed. Missed again. First to five? Another miss. And a miss.
Robert: We can afford to do this all day.
Rosalind: The question is, can you?
......................................................................................
Rosalind: I made it quite clear I do not approve of the execrise.
Robert: The rowing?
Rosalind: No. I'm sure that's great exercise.
Robert: Then what?
Rosalind: The entire thought experiment.
4000630 Well, it's such an awesome story, that it seems like an eternity!

Thanks for the praise. I'm working on fixing up chapter 2 and polishing up chapter 1. Hopefully they'll be better.
I'll be the editor! Yes, I am mostly saying this to get access early, but I'll also be a good editor.
Does seem a bit better, good job.
Ahh, good times.
