Chapter One
Twilight's first thoughts when she came to were something along these lines: WHERE THE BUCK AM I!? She would have liked to have spoken this, but she was suspended in a green fluid with various tubes going into her mouth and down her throat. Before she was given a chance to panic, she took notice of the room she was in. From what she could tell, the room was entirely made of metal, with many lights and various sounds, all muffled by whatever fluid she was in.
Continuing her look around the room, Twilight noticed a creature in front of what looked like a glowing window. It was, from what she could tell, bipedal with next to no hair, aside from on the top of its head, which was a rat's nest. It was wearing a lab coat that went down to its legs and wore black shoes. After a minute, it looked up, seemed to get excited, and left the room through a couple of sliding doors.
When it had left was when Twilight began to panic. Oh sweet Celestia, where am I? How did I get here? What in Equestria was that thing? She would have mused further were it not for the creature coming back, with another one with it. The new creature looked much older than the first one. It had a simple shirt on with jeans and a vest with many bulging pockets. The two were talking. It was slightly muffled, but somehow she could still understand them.
"Are you sure?" the new one asked in a gravely voice that she deemed to be male.
"Positive. It definitely isn't Protoss and there aren't any traces of Zerg in its DNA, though its DNA did find a partial match in the data systems." the first replied, also male, but much higher. "It seems to match with an old genus of equines, though with several differences." He motioned to the top of her head. "We can't tell what it's used for, but it's clearly a horn."
"And what's that other thing on top of its head?" the second asked.
"That we don't know." the first one replied, looking kind of sheepish. "We couldn't remove it and whenever we scan it the devices start to go haywire."
At this point, Twilight began to struggle. She tried using her magic to break free, but she had not enough energy. The two noticed this and watched as Twilight positioned her forehooves on the glass and, using all the strength she could muster, bucked the other side of the tube she was in. The tube then shattered, green fluid flowing everywhere and left Twilight on the floor with several cuts and scrapes on her legs from the broken glass.
The two creatures backed off, the older one standing in front of the younger with a black device pulled out and pointed right at Twilight. Twilight, coughing and spluttering, made a mental note: Never let that stuff get into my mouth again. Ever. After a few moments of that, Twilight pulled herself up and got a good look at the two creatures.
They both had pale, pink skin, almost cream colored, but that was where the similarities ended. The first one had slightly reddish hair and it was very untidy. His face seemed young and full of excitement. The other's hair was sleek and black, though with some grey in it to show his years. His face was much more weathered and had some facial hair in the form of a beard. He seemed to have a sense of suspicion about him.
After a few minute of the three of them staring at each other, the one in the lab coat stood in front of the other, blocking Twilight's view of the device. "Sir, I can't let you shoot it. Who knows what it could do for our research!? We don't even know if it's hostile!"
"But what if it is? It just smashed through your stasis cell, Stetman. How do we know it won't try to attack us?" the other replied.
"I have a name and gender, you know." Twilight said indignantly. "And I would never hurt anypony unless they were hurting me or my friends."
The two looked shocked at hearing Twilight speak, seemingly reeling from the fact that they had kept a fully sentient being in a stasis cell. The one who's name seemed to be Stetman spoke up.
"You can talk?"
"Of course I can!" Twilight replied angrily. "My name is Twilight Sparkle and I demand to know where I am this instant!"
The older one stepped forward. "My apologies, Ms Sparkle. We didn't know that you were.. well.. sentient." he said apologetically. "Allow me to introduce myself: I'm Jim Raynor, commander of this fine vessel known as the Hyperion. This man here is Egon Stetman, lead scientific researcher on board. We are currently making our way from the planet Char. If you don't mind me asking, where are you from?"
Twilight hid her confusion from Raynor and Stetman about where they were and decided to answer Jim's question. "I'm from Equestria." she said. "It's ruled by Princesses... Celestia... and..." That's when the realization hit her: Where are my friends?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere within the Hyperion...
Some of the crew members within the Hyperion thought they were hearing things throughout the day. For some, it was high-pitched laughter, for others it was hushed voices. Several shrugged it off, but it spooked several others. It wasn't until later that they heard a message go through the PA system. A message in a voice they all recognized as Raynor's.
"Attention all crew members, I have been informed by a recent... addition to our group that there are several, well, ponies on board the ship. They are..." they all heard some ruffling of papers, " ah. There are five of them. An orange one who answers to Applejack, a blue one who answers to Rainbow Dash, a yellow one who answers to Fluttershy, a white one who answers to Rarity, and a pink one who answers to Pinkie Pie. Keep in mind, not only are these five sentient, they are also probably very scared. Do not give them reason to fear you. Just lead them to the bridge of the Hyperion.
"Now, this message goes to the ponies in question. Your friend Twilight is here, and she wants me to let you know that she's waiting on the bridge for you as well. Just try to find a crew member and have them lead you to the bridge. I give you my word as the commander of this vessel that no harm will come to you. That is all."
Hmmmmmmmm - Filed into read later
Wow. Dis gon b gud. Or that's what I hope for. Faved, anyways.
Well, now I know I need to get my StarCraft crossover started.
I going to take a guess at what the mane 6 would be if they became SC2 Terran units.
Twilight Sparkle: Battlecruiser. Twilight seems to be more of a strategist instead of a direct fighter. So I can see her up there given orders.
Applejack: Marauder. She the strongest of the mane 6 and I don't see her being much of a vehicle driver.
Rainbow Dash: Viking. She can attack air and ground unlike the Banshee.
Fluttershy: Medivac. I don't think I need to explain this one.
Pinkie Pie: Ghost. She appears out of fucking now where all the time and I don't know where she carries half the crap she has.
Rarity: Raven. This is probably the toughest one to think of. Rarity is more of a Protoss unit than anything else. But in the end I made her a Raven because of the fact she strikes me as being more of a observer than a fighter.
oh this sounds good, i'll put into read later as I'm trying to finish reading the 3 stories i already have open right now.
This is going to be a great story! I hope this goes as far as I think it will. My favorite part was when twilight had "not enough energy". LOL! Starcraft quoting at its finest. Anyway, good luck to you and your story, too!
Wow, thanks guys. To be honest, I never even dreamed of this kind of positivity.
At any rate, I'm still not entirely sure where I'm going with this, so any suggestions would also be welcome, not only for the main story but also side stories.
I guess I'll see where this goes. And because of the context of this story, I had to pause for a momnent at "She had not enough energy."
If you want to lol around, you could make Rainbow a Reaper.
An engaging synopsis with a promising plot, but the writing... I don't think it's quite there yet.
can you get the robot doggies? the Predator? i loved them think what fluttershy would do
those things need love too!
also firebates. firebats EVEYWHERE!
And the crew is probably thinking that Raynor has finally lost it....
1310604 Those would be good guesses. But someone already made an animation for the mane six. Take a look! He does it very well.
1311323
I can only imagine. but considering they've been fighting zerg, colorful ponies is probably a nice change.
You have me interested at least. Good start but too early to tell if this is going to be a good story yet.
EEYEAH!!! FELLOW STARCRAFT BRONIES! /)
How often do you think you'll update? Or at least when will the next chapter come out?
1311323
Something like that, at least, until they actually see them.
1313111
I haven't a clue. My original intention was to put them out when they were done, but I think I may have to change that. The next one should be ready in a couple of days, and it will be longer than these two so far.
1313123 okay, cool. By the way, was this at all inspired by Halo: On the Wings of Angels by Gyvon? The two are remarkably similar.
1313186 While I have read that one, not really. Other than the facts that they are both Sci-Fi Pony crossovers and get set off by similar spells going awry, there is no real inspiration from it.
1313192 yup. That's about what I got too. :D
1311333 Holy shit those were awesome. I loved Pinkie's and Twilight's, they're fucking hilarious. I still think that Dash should be Viking and Applejack Marauder, but besides that, I think I agree with the ones he made more.
1313768 Glad ya like em!
This is a great idea, and I hope you keep at it. Best of luck, and keep on writing
great now I don't want to write my fic
Anyone else ever think someone should do to Starcraft what Kkat did to Fallout? Chanelings = zerglings, alicorns = protoss, ponies = terrans, it practically writes itself.
you must construct additional chapters.

The next chapter is complete, I just need my editor to come online so we can look over it together.

Are you a wizard?

Part time.
MY LIFE FOR AIUR! I mean, StarCraft/My Little Pony crossovers. Yeah, that's what I meant.
....
....
In other news, great story so far. StarCraft is fast becoming the new Fallout in crossovers, which is buckin' awesome! I never thought that there would be people interested in both StarCraft and MLP, like me, but I am proven wrong once again.
Keep up the good work!
