99. First Contact? (Author SI vs a more fearful Equestria?)

It was hopeless.

No matter what the Ponies tried to do, they were defeated; the Monster who'd walked out of the Everfree was just too strong!

Blows from the strongest stallions were brushed aside, countered, or returned with just enough force to knock a pony out without real harm.

Unicorn magic was gently deflected, blocked, or absorbed by the bipedal creature's own mysterious power.

Even... even the Elements of Harmony had been countered by a brilliant shield of cyan light.

Now, in Ponyville's Town Hall - where the 'final stand' had taken place - Princesses Celestia and Luna, along with the Element Bearers, looked on as the creature came closer and closer to them. They were terrified, quivering as they sat upon their haunches.

What would the strangely clothed being do?

* * *

Clad in my attire - armor, robe, weapons, everything - I slowly approached the obviously terrified white alicorn pony, the one called Princess Celestia and crouched before her.

I looked at her.

She looked at me, her eyes misting with tears.

"That," I intoned softly, "is not how you welcome humans to Equestria..."

* * *

She heard the Monster speak, his voice soft; then she whimpered as it reached out an odd thing with five grasping appendages.

It... it touched her; the monster buried its appendage into her mane, and... and.... oh...

... scratched her behind the ears, soft and gentle. At that moment, poor Celestia just couldn't take it anymore...

She wept as the not-monster drew her into a hug.

Author's Note:

My SI vs a more 'primitive' Equestria? A terrible misunderstanding on the ponies side? Gah...
