Chapter One - The Book

View Online

12:00 pm, I'm tired and I don't look forward to the exams at 4:30. I'll just take my 100th book from the library and just read. Maybe get some new spells. I've been itching for something like that to happen.

Oh listen to me ramble. My name is Galactic Drifter. I'm a black coated unicorn with a blue and white pony-tailed mane, my tail cut short so it wouldn't bother me while I walk around. I walked out of my small room, and walked into my bathroom and just stared into the cracked mirror that my dad never bothered to fix. my gloomy deep red eyes were practically the only thing I saw correctly in that mirror. I got out of the bathroom, and stepped downstairs.

No one was home. Strange. Usually my stay-up-all-night dad would get drunk and bitch at the TV that he thought was on, underline thought because that thing isn't even plugged in and its a flat screen TV, one of those smaller ones. But still. I didn't see any reason to stick around because I have to go in four hours so I got into the kitchen, that still needed to have its large light fixed because the light is flickering, I levitated a mug towards myself, my favorite space themed mug, I made some coffee and filled my mug, fortunately it had a lid for it so I put the lid on and walked outside.

I walked towards my two friends, Star Glaze, and Flare Glaze, twin sisters. Star was a crimson red Pegasus with a bright white, long mane and tail, with a black iris color, and Flare was exactly like Star, but her mane was crimson red, while her coat was bright white, her iris color was black, just like her sister. I waved at them and I walked over to them, as I tripped over and landed face first onto the grass.

Star and Flare ran over to me. and helped me stand. "Are you okay?" They both said, at the exact same time. I nodded and looked back to what I had tripped on, and walked over to it. It was a book. Why was it buried in the ground? I started digging around it with my hoof, and I yanked it out of the ground, dirt sprayed up into the air, some bounced off my chin.

Now to figure out what this book is.

Star and Flare watched me as I brushed the book off with my right hoof, and I read the cover. It was a spell book, well that was obvious when I saw the words "Spell Book" on the top in small text, and I uncovered the rest of the books cover, and I read it out.

"An Alicorn's Guide Beyond This Universe"

I've heard about this book, although I didn't know it was a SPELL book, I showed the twins the cover of it, and they both gasped. "Open it up!" They shouted. I placed the book on the ground where we didn't dig, and opened the book, reading note after note, the twins standing side by side around me, and we found a lot of magic patterns, and a lot of spell notes, and there was a spell tagged "The Ultimate Spell" on the 3rd page, it said that the quantity of magic that is used during this spell is dangerous for other races besides an Alicorn.

I beg to differ.

I told the girls I'd be studying the book, and as predicted, they were concerned but I managed to keep calm about it, and I used my teleportation spell and appeared into my room, on my worn, brown bed, and started reading over "The Ultimate Spell" pages, over and over, practicing the spell, and every time I got further into actually preform the spell, it stung. But being the stubborn 15 year old Unicorn I am, I kept cracking at it. And just an hour before I had to go to class, My horn sparked and I was suddenly in space, IN SPACE!!! My head hurt like a mothef :derpytongue2: cker, while I screamed in agony, I realized I was still breathing, How? I had opened my eyes, and I was in some sort of bubble, floating in space, I had put myself through more agony just to get back to Equestria.

I ran as fast as I could and got over to the twins. "Girls! I got the spell to work!" I shouted. Flare and Star looked at me gaping, and once again, they both spoke at the same time. "You did?!! What's it like? Where did you go??" I waited for them to calm a little then spoke, "Somewhere out in Space"

"Do you think you can bring us with you?" They asked with literally no hesitation. I held the book close to me with my left foreleg/hoof. "Gather around girls."

This was probably a big mistake, my head nearly exploded last time I used the spell.

I opened the book with my other hoof, and found the last page, I gritted my teeth and started preforming the spell, and that hurt even more like last time, I'm surprised, and lucky I didn't just die from that, and we were gone with a flash, and in space we were, my head pounding and in the distance from the bubble me and the twins were in, we saw what looked like a milky way.

If Milky Ways could spin like a saw blade and glow bright blue.

The twins helped me through my headache, within 3 minutes I was normal, and I looked at the spinning milky way portal thing, and I read a page of the spellbook, how to pilot the bubble, its all mental, you literally pilot this bubble with thought. I piloted the bubble towards the spinning milky way and it sucked us in.

Chapter Two: Out Of Equestria.

Walking up from a flash, I found myself lying on some hard floor in a partially lit room, alone, I got up and started calling. "Star? Flare?" I started walking down this, long hallway, then the whole thing shook, with a rumble. This place might not be a building with a rumble like that. I started running down the hallway. and I looked out a window, I quickly discovered I wasn't on a planet, but in a spaceship. A SPACESHIP!! I started running faster, and I started worrying about the Twins, then I heard them scream.

I don't think this is gonna go well.

I ran to the source of the screaming and found that there were these ape things surrounding them, with weapons in their hands, one of them started yelling at the twins. "Who the hell are you? How the hell did you get aboard my ship?! Answer me!"

Interrogating two 15 year old girls, ain't that smart?

I found a small pipe on the floor, and grabbed it with my mouth, disgusting but I started banging it on the wall, to get the 4 ape things' attention, then dropped it, and they looked at me. Now I've done something, now I finish it.

"Interrogating 15 year old mares I see. Well, ain't that a way to treat a bunch of young visitors that don't even know where they are."
One of them piped up after I spoke, his voice slightly raspy but medium toned , and slightly hostile. "That doesn't answer my question, you stupid horse, what are you doing on my ship, and what the hell are you exactly?"

Sweet Celestia this guy is an idiot. And I thought bitching at a TV that isn't plugged in was dumb.
"Hell if we know, Jackass. We're ponies from an alter dimension, and we're lost out here."

There was another ape which I presumed was female, with those... ehh, "jugs" as stallions like to call them. And she started talking to him. "Look, we've got to restore power to our ship, and interrogating young ponies is the last thing we need right now." She turned to us. "Do you, 'ponies' think you can help us with a certain problem?"

Well if it means not getting killed, sure.

I nodded, knowing I've taken engineering classes, and actually aced most of them, I may be stubborn but at least I got my reasons.
I followed the female, and she showed me the power generator, the thing was practically dismantled, no wonder why half the bloody ship was down. She pointed at it and I got right to work, most of the circuits of the generator had fallen out, so carefully I slid them back into place, and I had to do this a few hundred times, then I reconnected some of the wires, and boom, the generator was humming and working.

The female placed one of, what Lyra Heartstrings calls "Fingers" on her so called "Hands" on her ear and started talking. "Sir, the powers back online... Yep we'll be there in a few moments." she put her "hand" down. "You, follow me, your friends are at the cockpit, and so is the rest of the team, we're going up there." I nodded as a response and followed her all the way to the "cockpit" and found out "cockpit" was just a fancy human word for the pilot's section of the ship.

The engines flared up, and the ship started to fly towards the planet below, it didn't take long for an error to occur, just when I thought the error was minor, it got serious when the error turned out to be the "Atmospheric Orbital Shield" had blown out, along with the "Port Engine" The ape things, which I remembered from Lyra, calling them "Humans" were scrambling around, the ship started to rotate, and they started to leave the "cockpit".

This ship is about to go down in flames, and they're leaving the only way to maneuver the ship empty?

Me and the Twins panicked, I told the Twins, to go help the "Humans" as I walked over to the pilot seat, and used my magic to maneuver the ship, man this was risky, but, fortunately the ship has this big steering well like thing, I used my magic to use it, and the ships temperature was rising, then the AOB kicked back in, but the ships Port Engine started going loose, and we had just broken through the atmosphere of this planet, and we we're falling fast, I angled the ship so it wasn't nose diving, and we flew right over this giant city and with a loud series of noises, we landed in a forest. The ship wasn't damaged too badly, thank god, I'm just worried about the others.

They came into the room, one of them holding Star in there "arms", and she was bawling her eyes out.

Oh no...

The human carrying her, looked at Star with a face feeling bad for her. "What h-happened?" I said, hesitantly, worried sick.
The human responded with guilt. "We had to access the Radiation room to boost the power of the shields, but one of the ponies, sacrificed herself to the Radiation room, and that room is filled with toxic gas."

A tear dropped from my eye. "I.... I, see..." I held back my tears, and the human let Star down, and she ran over to me, hugged me tightly and cried more, her tears hitting me like bullets, I hugged her back, I did what I could to make her feel better. "We must go now, Th-Thank you for getting Star out safely." I know it wasn't the best thing I could've said, but I wasn't trying to bawl my eyes out. The human spoke back, "No, Thank you, for getting us home safely. I'm sorry for your loss. She will be remembered" I drew out my book, and I used the spell once again, back in space, in the bubble.

I don't know how to get home, but hopefully I will figure it out. For now, lets go to another universe, hopefully without another loss.

I piloted the bubble to the portal, and like before, it sucked us in.
