Six ponies trotted through the Everfree Forest. Even with the full moon and two light spells, the forest was dark and shadowed. The gloom of drooping tree limbs and the dank air of rotting logs and dead leaves were omnipresent, filling the ponies’ eyes and nostrils. The damp air surrounded them, making the already warm night feel uncomfortably clammy as well. All these discomforts were dwarfed by the fact that it was now over an hour since the sun should have risen, and yet it had not done so, proving that Nightmare Moon had followed through on her threat and managed to overcome Princess Celestia, halting the sun below the horizon.
It was all the more surprising, then, that the six ponies were in high spirits as they travelled the forest. Rainbow Dash, in particular, was justifiably proud of her recent exploits, a fact she made known by recounting the tale to her companions.
“And then whoosh!” she said, zipping over the heads of the other five. For the most part, their expressions showed disinterest. Pinkie Pie seemed enthralled with the tale, her eyes the size of saucer plates and a smile nearly as big as the two put together. She swooned and leapt for joy at the proper places, enjoying the telling of the tale, supplemented by Rainbow Dash’s acrobatics, more than the tale itself; she had just lived it after all.
Twilight Sparkle, on the other hand, was showing the great extent of her patience by not casting a silencing spell on Rainbow Dash. It seemed to her that she was the only pony who really grasped the gravity of the situation. The Princess was in danger, Nightmare Moon had begun her eternal night, and Rainbow Dash was taking time to showboat. For all their strangeness, and their unpleasant desire to kill, Twilight found herself missing the humans. They, at least, knew that speed was of the essence.
“I doubled back with Fluttershy to save you, getting there just in the nick of time. After that, it wasn’t too hard to go and save Carter and Daniel from falling. Then, O’Neill gave me this,” Rainbow Dash said, showing the walkie talkie. She had insisted on holding onto the device, securing it in her hooves the whole time. Rainbow Dash had felt that, since O’Neill had entrusted the device to her, it was her duty to keep it safe. “Now, where would you be without a totally awesome friend like me?”
Rainbow Dash hovered just above the ground, only slightly higher than her friends. Behind her, Pinkie Pie cheered the climax of the story while the other ponies were simply glad that it was over. Twilight, for her part, cringed slightly when Rainbow named herself as one of her friends. For as much as the Princess had instructed Twilight to make some friends, she still would have rather done this on her own. It was only SG-1’s presence, and their proclamation of deadly intent towards Nightmare Moon, which had kept Twilight from trying to ditch the five ponies with whom she found herself travelling.
“Yes, Rainbow Dash,” Twilight said with an annoyed edge, “I was there. I know how it happened.”
“And wasn’t it awesome?” Rainbow Dash prompted. Her grin was wide and earnest, a fact which didn’t mollify Twilight in the least.
“Yeah, sure,” Twilight said with a sharper edge. “But what’s really important right now is that we figure out how we’re going to find the Elements.”
“Well, duh,” Pinkie Pie said from the background, “we’re going to the Palace.” Her gigantic eye roll and exasperated tone served to show that she didn’t see what fault Twilight was finding with the plan.
Twilight mentally staggered from Pinkie’s obvious statement. She was sure that others could tell, for she had left her jaw working even as it had nothing to say. “But,” Twilight said, “we don’t know what they look like, and we know Nightmare Moon is out there somewhere. She’s tried to stop us once already! We don’t have time to be telling stories or even talking like this.”
Twilight flailed her forelegs about, gesticulating wildly in order to emphasize her point. The tone of her voice was one that, had he been there, Spike would have recognized as a sign to just do what Twilight wanted and give her a wide berth. Her new friends, though, weren’t aware of this, and instead chose to counter her.
“Twilight,” Applejack said, “ya know that you’re the one in front, right?” Twilight nodded back at her with a piercing glare. “Well, that means that you’re the one settin’ the pace. Besides her bein’ a bit annoying, Ah don’t see how Rainbow was slowin’ us down. Honestly, I didn’t really mind the distraction,” Applejack offered. Her expression was both imploring and honest.
It was a good thing that Applejack acted so quickly, for Rainbow Dash’s body language spoke volumes on its own. It was quite apparent to her that Twilight thought Rainbow Dash was the one slowing the group; being called slow was not an insult that Rainbow Dash would suffer lightly. Having been given a chance to reflect, and her outrage being assuaged by Applejack rightly calling Twilight out on the insult, Rainbow Dash chose a different line of conversation.
“C’mon, Twi,” Rainbow Dash said softly, “I told you before that I’d never leave Ponyville hanging. If I thought we’d get there any faster, of course I’d stop. But it’s not like we’re going at a full gallop or anything, so I figured I’d lighten the mood a bit. Besides,” she said, shifting back to her normal, brash tone, “I was really awesome back there.” Rainbow Dash shot into a loop, coming to nearly exactly where she’d started. “Now come on, let’s get going.”
Twilight found it hard to argue with Rainbow Dash’s logic, though it still didn’t sit right with her. It wasn’t worth spending the time mulling over, however. The five ponies who weren’t flying trotted off after Rainbow Dash at a quick pace. Their progress was immediately halted by a loud crackle of sound which burst out of the walkie-talkie.
All six jumped in fright at the sudden, alien noise, reminiscent of candy wrappers being crumpled by unicorn magic. Rainbow Dash caught herself quickly, grabbing up the human device before it could hit the ground. Pinkie Pie was pounding her chest above her heart with her foreleg while Fluttershy peeked out from behind Applejack, who had already lowered her front two hooves back to the ground, having reared up at the noise. As O’Neill’s voice broke through the static, Twilight and Rarity recast their light spells.
“Ponies, come in. This is O’Neill. Do you copy? Over.” O’Neill’s voice said. The static disappeared as O’Neill’s message ended, much to the relief of the gathered ponies.
“Ponies, come in,” Pinkie Pie copied, even adding in a mostly terrible impersonation of O’Neill’s voice. “This is O’Neill. Do you copy?” Breaking out of her impersonation, Pinkie continued, “Yup, we do copy. Or, at least I copy. Do you want the others to copy also? It seems like it’d take a lot of time, and Twilight’s already not happy about how long we’ve taken. Over.” Pinkie screwed up her face into a confused contortion.
Rainbow Dash swooped down and stole back the device which she hadn’t even noticed Pinkie take. The crackle of the static returned as another message from the humans was delivered. “Umm, that won’t be necessary,” it was Daniel’s voice which came through the device this time. His voice carried disbelief, almost certainly directed at Pinkie Pie’s remarkably silly response. The disconcerting crackling of the static continued as Daniel kept speaking. “We’re just checking in, to make sure you’re OK. Have you run into any problems? Over.”
“Nope,” Rainbow Dash said. “Well, Twilight was being a bit crabby, but we’re past that—”
“Hey,” Twilight shouted, incensed by Rainbow Dash’s comment. She ripped the walkie talkie out of Rainbow Dash’s grip, the device enclosed in the telltale aura of magic. “Everything’s been fine, Doctor Jackson,” Twilight said. She released the button and waited for a response, though none came immediately.
“Pssst, Twilight. You have to say over.” Pinkie Pie whispered.
“What? Why?” asked Twilight. To this, Pinkie simply shrugged and tilted her head as if to indicate that she didn’t know and that that was simply the way it was. With a sigh, Twilight clicked the button and, with uncertainty, said, “Over?”
“Good,” said Daniel, “tell us immediately if anything happens. Also, we’ll check in every ten minutes, just in case. Got that? Over.”
“Yeah, got it,” Twilight said. “Over.”
“Over and out,” Pinkie Pie whispered intensely. This time, Twilight decided to ignore her desire to question Pinkie Pie and just go with it. Any other time and she would have dropped whatever she was doing to figure out the why of Pinkie Pie, but there were more pressing matters.
There was no more communication from the humans after that, which was as much as could be expected. The mares did not, however, continue on in silence. Talking with the humans reminded Applejack of what the aliens had said before they entered the Everfree.
Killing, of course, was against Equestrian law and basic morality. Even the Royal Guards, who were armed with lethal weapons and trained in combat, shied away from taking life. None of the ponies could even begin to understand how SG-1 would resort so quickly to a lethal course of action, much less how the aliens could live with themselves.
Applejack felt the need to break the silence which had reigned since the end of SG-1’s communication. “Ah know it ain’t something any of us want to think about,” she said,” but what are we gonna do if we can’t get the Elements and make ‘em work?”
“What’re you talking about?” Rainbow Dash asked from above. “Of course we’re going to find them. We’ve got my girl Twilight here, and she’s the biggest egghead I’ve ever seen. If she can’t find the Elements, then nopony can.” Twilight shuddered slightly as Rainbow Dash pulled her in with the crook of her foreleg.
Drawing back from the invasion of her personal space, Twilight said, “I hope you’re right, but I really don’t know that much about it. Right now, all of you know just as much about them as I do. Besides, if Nightmare Moon shows up at the Palace, I don’t think she’ll wait for us to figure the Elements out.”
“Even so, we can’t let them just kill her.” A hint of disgust entered Rarity’s voice as she referred to the humans and grew significantly on the subject of killing.
“‘course not,” Applejack said. “All Ah mean is, we should figure out what it is we plan to do. Maybe we could hog tie her or... somethin’.” Applejack received a second of blank stares. During the moment, a soft mumbled statement was made, though it went unheard as Twilight Sparkle spoke again.
“I don’t think we could trap her, I mean, she was able to... do... something to the Princess.” Twilight said. “Besides, she can turn into that purple mist stuff.”
Once again, a quiet mumbled statement was made. This time it was drowned out by Pinkie Pie as she said, “Maybe we could throw her a party. Then she’d stop being such a meanie pants. I mean, Twilight loved her party, right?” Twilight’s expression conveyed whatever sentiment lies furthest from agreement, but Pinkie went on regardless. “So all we have to do is get to the palace first, and then set up a surprise party. I should have enough on me for a small fiesta, though we might be able to stretch it into a bash if we try really hard. Do you think you could make streamers out of vines, Rarity?”
“Well, of course I could, but I don’t see how it would help,” Rarity said.
“It would let us put up more decorations, silly. Streamers don’t go very well in my party cannon, so it’s usually better to hang them by hoof.”
Rarity rolled her eyes at Pinkie. She knew the party pony could be eccentric, but had never spent so much time in conversation with the mare. It was a truly surreal experience to try and understand Pinkie Pie’s leaps in logic; it was as if she and Pinkie thought on two completely different planes.
It was in this moment of thought that Rarity heard Fluttershy mumble something which she couldn’t quite catch. “What was that, dear?” Rarity asked, drawing the group’s attention to Fluttershy.
With the full attention of five mares focused on her, Fluttershy could barely find the will to speak. She never did well in the spotlight; old foalhood experiences with mockery and embarrassment left her frightful of attention, lest it turn to laughter at her expense. It was only the sight of Rainbow Dash’s reassuring smile that gave Fluttershy the confidence to speak. Even so, she could barely raise her voice above an audible threshold, mostly because she knew that what she had to say would certainly be ill received.
“Maybe,” Fluttershy said, “they’re right.”
“What?” came the chorus of replies. Not everypony spoke the word, necessarily, but their faces all shouted the question. Not only that a pony would favor killing as a plan, but that Fluttershy would be the one to do it.
Seeing that she was already in impossibly deep, Fluttershy decided to just keep talking. Maybe if she could explain herself then the others wouldn’t make fun of her for it. “I... um... was just thinking that maybe Daniel, or Doctor Jackson, was right.” Fluttershy withdrew as she spoke, not into any particular thing, but rather from everything around her. She simply seemed to draw in towards herself. “About it being kinder to... put Nightmare Moon down...
“I guess,” she continued, “it’s like when a pet is unable to even eat on their own. Sometimes, if they’re in a lot of pain, it’s kinder to end it quickly rather than force them to suffer.” Fluttershy personally hated euthanizing pets, though she did see the need for it. On those occasions when she was treating particularly old pets, it was sometimes the only kindness that could be shown.
The shock of Fluttershy’s statement was felt most heavily by Rainbow Dash, who felt betrayed that her friend would suggest such a thing. “Are you saying you’re OK with doing... that to another pony?” she asked a little more heatedly than she had intended. To Rainbow Dash’s surprise, Fluttershy didn’t immediately retreat, but rather spoke clearly and calmly.
“No, of course not,” Fluttershy said in a voice quite similar to the one she used to explain euthanization to a pet’s owner. It was one of the tones of voice she hated the most, but that was only for the fact that she used it almost exclusively to deliver bad news. “But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t consider it. I mean, if what the humans were saying is true, then it actually might be worse to be alive like that than...” Her voice trailed off. As familiar as she was with the speech, and as much as she’d dealt with death, and even the killing of animals, this was something totally separate.
“You just can’t do that to a pony. It’s not right,” insisted Rainbow Dash. By this time the group had come to a full stop just before a large crag.
Applejack humphed as she began to speak. “As much as Ah don’t like to admit it, Ah think Fluttershy may have a point.”
“Now you want to kill her too?” Rainbow Dash asked pointedly.
“Hold on there, Ah didn’t say that. All Ah meant is that she has a bit of a point.”
“Surely you must be joking,” Rarity said. Her normally pristine mask of aristocracy broke along with her voice. She was afraid of herself; some part of her was entirely convinced of Fluttershy’s argument.; of course it would be better to give up some unnamable part of herself, innocence perhaps, to rescue some poor soul from an eternal torment. The rest of her, every fiber of her being which remained true to itself, revolted against the idea. It was just too much to even contemplate.
“That wasn’t a joke, silly,” Pinkie Pie said. “It wasn’t even funny. Now pratfalls, those are—” Pinkie slipped on a banana peel, having only just devoured the fruit which it had contained, and fell on her rump. She giggled a desperate giggle as she looked around. The others, however, were not in the mood and none laughed at the meta-humor. All Pinkie knew was that the whole conversation was extremely uncomfortable and not funny in the least. She just had to find a way to break the tension and move onto a happier topic.
As things stood, it seemed unlikely that the others would change topics on their own. Providence was kind to Pinkie Pie, however, as it was just then that the human device burst to life once more. The unearthly noise shattered the flow of the unpleasant conversation.
“Come in, ponies. Are you there? Over,” O’Neill said via the device.
There was a moment of confusion as the ponies switched gears from their dark conversation. Suddenly, Rainbow Dash remembered that she was the one with the walkie talkie, having stolen it back from Twilight earlier.
“Yeah, we’re here,” Rainbow Dash said darkly. “Oh, uh, over!” she added hastily.
Evidently, O’Neill could not discern Rainbow Dash’s tone through the device as he simply said, “Good to hear. Run into any trouble yet? Over.”
“Not really, we’ve just sort of been talking. And trotting. Over.”
“Excellent. We’ll check back in soon, and make sure to let us know if there’s any trouble. Over and out.” With that, the walkie talkie went dead and the six mares were on their way once more.
They found themselves at the bottom of a chasm. Cliffs rose up on both sides of the path, hemming in the ponies and increasing the claustrophobic feel of the forest. None were sure whether or not they should be thankful for the moon’s clear light which cut straight down through the near vertical gap between the cliffs. Above them, the brush rustled at the cliff’s edge. Rarity could have sworn she saw a figure watching them, but training her light spell on the spot revealed nothing. Her silent fears and reliefs were cut short by a sudden and massive roar from the other end of the chasm.
“A manticore!” Twilight shouted, her voice lost in the beast’s bellow as it pounced at them.
If they do kill NMM, Celestia is going to flip out.
Filler ahoy!
I wonder how having a radio will change this situation.
1137886
Not filler, interesting examination of characters of the equine persuasion! Besides, this little diversion has been planned for weeks, which means it can't be filler. Right?
My only question is that will nightmare moon simply be destroyed or will some one step on her in her snake form in a dramatic scene "luna"?
is Celestia a Tok'ra?
1137873
I'm going to disagree. While I'm fairly sure it won't come to gunning down NMM, in terms of the story, Luna has a body-stealing snake in her head. Jackson and O'Neill have had people they were close to (Sha're and Skaara) taken and snaked. (Not sure, specifically, where this story stands in SG!canon; re: Tollan, Triad, et al; nor do I quite recall Sha're's fate) If it DOES come to gunning down Nightmare Moon, Jackson and O'Neill would be in the best position for the explanation.
Admittedly, FiM being the other half of the crossover, I'm more than halfway sure that such extreme measures won't need to be taken.
However, yet another possibility is that perhaps SG-1 and the Six save Celestia, but merely drive off Luna/NMM. Would kinda suck, but be pretty awesome in a "And the adventure continues" sort of way.
Looks like ol' luna's gotta be put down
:grabs shotgun:
Goodbye ol' girl
Wait its the unexpected miracle machine luna is saved
1137985
I'm in the process of actually doing the retcon, but as of now this is set after Tollana is laid waste by the goa'uld. As for Sha're, the Stargate Wiki says Teal'c shot her as the goa'uld in her was trying to kill Daniel. At this point, I think Skaara and Kendra (from the world with Thor's Hammer) are the only people who've had their symbiotes out.
insta-faved.
there is another SG1/pony cross over on EQD, but for whatever reason it never continued. i was a sad pony when it stopped updating.
If SG-1 kills the Manitcore and gets told later by Fluttershy that it just wanted its thorn out and is a nice guy, that surely will have an effect on the ponies how they see the humans.
The other way around if the humans show up with guns blazing and see such a huge monster licking Fluttershys face and being an over-sized puppy, it might change their minds of how ponies handle enemies.
My original guess was that the Elements worked the same way as Thor's Hammer, but then I could be wrong
Still, if luna dies then I will be very sad
1137982
I'll admit, I'm a lazy brony, so I've not seen any episodes with the Big C herself; but from what I've heard, I wouldn't be surprised. At the very least, she'd agree with their "long game" strategy; but when your lifespan merely measures in decades, you tend to want your permanent solutions more immediate.
1138027
Oh aye? I remember Thor's Hammer. That's a fairly... painful method of extraction, even if safer and more certain than surgery. But yeah, now that sure-fire extraction with host survival isn't an option... Yeah. Someone should have mentioned what happened with Kawalsky; though it isn't too late.
And upon reflection: Gunning NMM down's a tricky prospect at best. Practically speaking, it would probably be a distraction. That's my semi-grounded crackpot theorizing for the post.
1138074
Doubt things would turn out that way. SG-1 are professionals; and I've only ever seen them gun down self-aware, confirmed hostiles: (Jaffa, Goa'uld, Priors) Only exception I'm aware of is the Replicators. But those things are a mechanized plague of locusts. They would probably just fire to frighten.
Nice work, and I like how the ponies are starting to come around to the possibility that they may have to kill Nightmare Moon. I also like that Fluttershy brought it up because her connection with nature should make her more used to the necessity of death than most ponies.
1137873 While I am certain she would not be happy if it comes to that, I doubt she would really complain given what SG-1 knows about the Goa'uld. Besides, she of all ponies should know that sometimes killing is a necessary evil so I think she would accept it even if it does devastate her to know that Luna is dead.
1137886
It's called "Character Development".
:Blink blink:
Am I really the only one who thinks the Elements of Harmony are going to act as a "Goauld Extractor ex Machina", thereby giving the ponies a legitimate reason for coming to Earth and joining the SGC?
1140137
It's really more about the Stargate SG-1 TV show than the movie Stargate. The show is on Netflix for sure (I think), and definitely worth a watch.
I truly liked how Fluttershy was the first to consider the prospect of it.
Most people don't realize it but death is a vital part of living. Of course she's had to take life before because it's kinder than letting them live in some cases.
Truly made sense to me.
*Gives the heavy-metal hand-sign* Fluttershy is hard-core!
Cheers
GM
That's one thing that I've always had issues with in the FIM-verse. They never acknowledge that sometimes death is the kinder, or only, option. Congrats on actually going into the subject.
Side note: I cringe every time I read "over and out". It's one of my ultimate no-nos when dealing with fiction involving the military. "Over" means that a reply is expected. "Out" means that the conversation is over. Putting them together is an oxymoron. Sigh.
interesting.
this story is slightly canon to the actual story, i highly doubt he will kill NMM, probably just maim, or seriously injure...
1143564
You see, I didn't know that. I mostly put that stuff in for the Pinkie joke. This will certainly be fixed whenever it is that I go through on an editing run.
1144414
When it's just used by Pinkie, it works, I will admit. Or any of the ponies, really. Buuut, trained military operatives would never use this. (I got this particular pet peeve from my father- Navy for ~20 years.) It even has the potential for an interesting scene between the ponies and SG1 later, come to think of it.
Frankly, I don't blame you; it's common in television, and if you don't know someone who has been in the military, it's unlikely the preconception would be corrected. ^^
I just read the whole story and i will say that its highly show acurate on both side and its what i really love here, most of cross over will end accurate on only one side making the other one only following the main one but here its crealy equilibrate on both side and thats awesome.
I can already see what is this precise exotic particles in equestria can do ^^
You can, and I actually hope you do, just think of my comment as haters ganna hate.
I really really don't think this chapter was needed. To me it was a big filler. I skim read the whole thing in like 7 min. And nothing changed. From start to finish- They are walking though the forest, (they talk), manticore comes out. The End.
I do like this story very much, just not this chapter.
I expect that the Elements of Harmony would be able to expel a goa'uld from it's host without killing them. Sure, when Celestia used them it only imprisoned her for a thousand years, but obviously the Mane 6 uses them better... at least canonically.
But I suppose we'll see. If they CAN expel a goa'uld without killing the host, SG1 is likely to start bringing captives to Equestria on a regular basis... which would no doubt end up involving our ponies in the greater conflict...
It could be the build up for a pretty epic storyline, actually, although I expect that this story will end right where the second episode of MLP originally ended, with only small changes. Guess we'll see though.
Fun story. Not written as most "first contact" fics tend to be. And anyone who has never seen Stargate will have NO idea what's happening.
Also, in the original, nopony realized that Celestia and Luna were the 2 sisters depicted in the Mare In the Moon legend. I'm not sure why, plotwise, you decided to change that.
Also, I'm assuming that Luna is not possessed by an evil Goa'uld but has always had a neutral symbiote enhancing their power, as Celestia probably does, and the shift to evil was due to what it always has been, a bout of angst and envy, not possession. Meaning that the main conflict will probably come after the Elements dispel Nightmare Moon and SG1 realizes the de-powered Luna is still possessed by a Goa'uld.
great story, can't wait for it to continue :D

Nice story btw, but stories that repeat a plot in a slightly different way have a hard time keeping me interest because everything is so similar.

The Tollan were super-advanced humans who had tech that allowed them to walk through walls.
Not sure if anyone else feels this way (I'm too lazy to read the comments) but re-telling the first two episodes has been done way too often and now seems cliche. That being said, this is one of the few stories that seem completely plausible in virtually everything.
MOAR!

Apologies, General. With any luck, we'll see more of it before summer. Without luck, it'll resume in May.
Great story! Love it, but I noticed a relatively small, yet somewhat bothersome, plot hole.
At some point, SG1 muses on how impossible it would be to remove the symbiont from Luna on account the only races capable of doing it are the Tollan and the Asgard. And since the Tollan are dead and the Asgard are difficult to contact...
But here is the thing. That's wrong! The Tollan never had the ability to remove symbionts (or at least they lacked experience in doing it). It was the Tok'ra that had that ability. Remember "Triad"? When they decided to remove the Goa'uld from Skaara, they brought in the Tok'ra to assist.
And the Tok'ra are alive, well and almost always came to the aid of Earth when called. All things considered, the possibility of capturing NMM and taking her to the Tok'ra should at least be put on the table.
2081398
Darn, I had to have made some major canon flaw somewhere, didn't I? Well, thanks for letting me know. It might actually make things a bit nicer once I get back to writing this. I had just rewatched "Triad" for this fic when I wrote it, too. I guess I just assumed it was the Tollan who had done the removal.

I really really hope I can get chapters coming out in early June. I've been bad at actually writing during the hiatus, but Honey Mead's really helped get the plot worked out. That means that once writing starts up, it should be consistent.
Even if it takes longer, though, I will finish this story. My first fic won't be left to die a sad death.

He makes a good point. That's an iconic line. It made all the way to Atlantis:

1990462 Son, I do my best to be patient. However, it is currently May and I have yet to receive a full report on the mission to P3X-597. I need to know more of this 'Nightmare Moon' Goa'uld and what she is capable of.
