"Stardate: Whatever today is. Since Equestria, and Equus as a whole, I guess, has moved out from under her wing, the mare of my dreams has been lost. Sure, she's literally older than dirt, but nobody seems to want her around. Even when she finds something, it never lasts. Today, I solve that issue."


Equestria no longer needs their princesses, including Celestia. Their little ponies have grown up, reached the stars, and have left the nest. That left four ponies and one draconequus with little to do other than cause mischief. One of those ponies hasn't taken forced retirement well, and another has plans to fix that.

A Sci-Fi Twilestia adventure that a few people in the Twilestia Skype Chat group helped inspire me to write.

Intriguing, you certainly got my attention.

Got my attention whit the Machariels turns out the story is worth keeping an eye on too.

So, Celestia's been roaming around looking for trouble to, well, shoot?

Not 100% true, but close enough. This is only the latest chapter, and is for a contest. Once the contest is over, I'll post the rest of the chapters here.

Good to hear! The Mach's my favorite ship.

I heard Troubleshooters. And then it seems Alpha complex isn't involved. :pinkiesad2:

Sorry! No, it isn't.

Ooo, sweet! One of my favorite continuities from the prompt-collab finally goes full fic. Now I've got something to look forward to when I get home from work today.

5899034
Yep. I'm cleaning up the original prompts, hopefully adding more to them (and more scenes!). They'll be added as I work on them.

Both Celestia and Twilight shot her a flat look. Luna smiled devilishly before adding in a deep voice, “I’m not apologizing.” An instant later she teleported away, leaving the room as pristine as it was before she’d entered.

You cheeky dick-waffle!

I'm not complaining.

very interesting setting, hope you can see that this story has an ending ^_^

I was so confused when this story updated, but eh.
Awesome job!

Very nicely done, this was great! :D
Good work on it.

Ahhh, nothing better then a good l fashoined space fight.
Heeheehee.

Nice job!

Awww yeeeah, space fight!
love em, nice job on this!

I'm liking the writing, but is there a reason Twilight couldn't turn a weaponless Minotaur into a fine mist? Seems kind of random to have the centuries old Alicorn Princess of Friendship be more helpless than when she was an utterly inexperienced Unicorn facing off against Nightmare Moon.

Wow, I've been waiting to say this. THE CELESTIA HAS RETURNED!!!
Now, you may be thinking to yourself "how could he have been waiting to say it if this is the first time he's read this story?"
Well, it was several years ago when I first joined this site. I was reading a good story, then I spot it, a wonderful, beautiful typo. I forget what exactly it was, but instead of typing celestia, they typed the celestia. It was great. And now it's back. I wonder if I would be able to find that comment.

Personal jokes aside, this story looks great so far and I'm eager to see what else happens.

Oh a new chapter. Nice slice of life bit. :twilightsmile:

Glorious chapter well done, nice read! :yay:

This was great! A nice quiet chapter... Well for Twi and Tia anyway...
Hope you update soon, this story has promise!
I'm trying to figure out or remember why it's called Troubleshooters... Sound like the are gong to be going around and fixing/fighting/saving/adventuring or whatever. Eh it's still just starting, we'll have wait and see what you choose to do!

I'm not sure why this wasn't already on my favorite's list.

Butt it is now!

I am seriously stoked for a new chapter in this.

I did not buy that for $4.99, Mighty. I bought it for $9.99. Get it right.


8228306
You should be, you inspired me tonight.

Want more, write it asap please! Especially more interaction between Daybreaker and Twilight!

8263210
You're in luck! I'm about halfway done with the next part.

Try and open a channel with it. See if we have any common basis for a language.

Missed some quotation marks there.

Man, this came out good. I'm really looking forward to the next part.

Argh! Cliffhanger! :rainbowlaugh:

Nice seeing them take a break.

Whew, another update to this? Niiice :yay: good work

8653222
Yeah, I'm sorry. Completely forgot I had this half written. I'm already working on the next part and hopefully I won't forget about it this time.

8653742
It's totally fine, no worries! S'long as you're having fun dude :D

8653928
No worries about that. I'm having a ball writing these things.

8653960
That's great to hear :yay:

Yes! An update, I have yet to read the next chapter but I’m very much so looking forward to it.

Very good chapter!

I love how Celestia trusted Twilight's abilities enough to bring her along-those subtle things in a relationship always get me.

You need to fix the italics in the first paragraph though. Other than that, it was perfect!

8786312
Thank you!

It wasn't quite the first paragraph that it broke, but I saw what you mentioned. It should be fixed now.

FINALLY got around to reading this chapter. I like where this going. The writing is snappy and feels like a good pace. As a minor nitpick though, you use 'seem' a lot in this chapter and that adds a lot of imprecision to the descriptions.

Otherwise, I like this, Ultra. Thank you for keeping this scifi Twilestia thing going.

The only issue I really have here is that they're called "Ex-Princess". You'd think that, like officers in many Earth militaries, they'd become "retired" but never lose their ranks. For some reason it feels like an insult, to say it like that, and at their damn wedding to boot...


Okay. So I have two issues - the one above, and this little abomination:

than that ball of gas in the sky


But that fun is for another story.

Be a bro and share a link, or something?

Updaaate... PLEASE!!
