Long ago, during the Brood War...
Meanwhile in the void...
There was a creature floating in the void, this being was a Xel'Naga and his name was Ouros. Ouros was not powerful enough to stop Amon and couldn't stop his servant, Narud, from trying to get his master to the universe. However, using his powers, he found another world that could even the scales of war. There were these equines that seemed to show great potential. The only thing he needed to do now was to have them help the Terrans, Protoss, and the Zerg. And so, he would get seven members that he consider would be of big help to each race and teleported them to the selected race.
And he had already chose seven to help the Zerg. So, using his powers, he opened a portal and that portal sent the selected 7 to the homeworld of Char, on the Queen of Blades' doorstep.
Some time later...
Ouros looked on the planet of Equestria and knew it was time to send the other two groups of equines to the Koprulu Sector. And while they are gone, he froze Equestria into a time-space seal to prevent time from advancing from when they depart until they return. So, he opened the portals.
Meanwhile at Backwater Station...
The Raynor's Raiders were making a base at Backwater Station. It was shortly after their victory of getting the artifact from the Terran Dominion, the artifact began to pulse and suddenly, a portal opened nearby. The marines aimed their guns at the source and see 7 equines falling out. The marines had a strange look and they began to look at the seven equines.
The first one looked like a stallion, but not the basic earth stallion. He had a white fur coat, blue mane and tail with cyan highlights, a horn coming out of his forehead, and he had some sort of pink 6 pointed star with a shield behind it and three small light blue stars above the shield and star on his flank.
The second one looked like a mare but different. This one had pink fur coat, three colored mane and tail of purple, pink, and yellow, it had a horn coming out of its forehead too but this one had wings on its' back. This one had a crystal-looking heart on its flank.
The third one was another stallion. This one had light blue, almost white, fur coat. He had dark blue mane and tail and the mark on its flank was a lightning bolt with wings.
The four one was another mare. This one had yellow fur coat, orange and golden mane and tail, and she had wings on her back. On her flank was another symbol that showed a lightning bolt made of fire.
The fifth one was a stallion. This one look like it had peach fur coat, blue mane and tail, and it had wings as well. The mark on his flank was a blue shield with a lightning bolt on the center of it.
The sixth one was a mare. This one had some sort of dull light purple fur coat, grey mane and tail, and she had no special features on her like the other five. On her flank was a half sliced lime over two small stones.
The finally seventh one was also a mare and resembled the sixth equine. This one had dull grey fur coat, dull purple mane and tail, and had no special features on her. The mark on her flank was a big jewel looking stone.
The seven slowly began to wake up, groaning as they felt themselves being piled on top of each other. They began to open their eyes and that is when they see each other and the marines aiming their weapons at them. The first one, the white stallion, activated his horn and immediately, a shield surrounded the equines. The marines immediately though of Protoss and opened fire. The shield held and the bullets did little against it. They stopped when they see Raynor come up to them.
"Just what the hell are you-" Raynor finally noticed the shield and equines. The equines, somehow, managed to get on their hooves and looked at the marines who attempted to attack and possibly kill them.
Tychus came up and looked at them "Look, Jimmy. A bunch of lost horses."
Raynor shook his head "No Tychus, ponies." He looks at them "Where they came from?"
A marine looked at the commander "They came out some sort portal created by the artifact. Or, we think the artifact opened the portal. Either way, the portal opened and these... equines came out."
"Aw hell." Raynor said before looking at his troops "We have no time for this. The Zerg will be impound to this place. Get to position and brace for the incoming battle." The marines nodded and left. The shield around the equines lowered and Raynor looked at them "Who are you?"
The equines gasped in surprise "Y-You can talk our language!?" The white stallion stated in shock.
Raynor had a look of surprise as well as Tychus before Raynor replied "Y-Yes. You can talk?"
The dull purple mare stated "Of course we can talk!"
"Limestone," the grey pony said with an almost emotionless expression "do not lose your temper like that."
Limestone looked at the grey pony and muttered "Whatever Maud..."
Raynor shook his head "Listen to me. I'm Commander Jim Raynor, leader of the Raynor's Raiders. This man next to me is my partner Tychus Findley. Who are you seven?"
The white stallion answered first "My name is Shining Armor: Prince of the Crystal Empire, former Captain of the Royal Guard, and the husband of Cadance."
The said alicorn stepped up "I am Princess Cadance: Princess of the Crystal Empire, wife of Shining Armor, and some other things." She kept looking at him 'I can sense he had a love connection to somepony but something is weird... Its torn into two, not like a broken heart.'
"My name is Soarin: one of the members of the Wonderbolts." The first Pegasus stallion said with some pride.
The female Pegasus greeted "The name is Spitfire: leader of the Wonderbolts."
The second Pegasus stallion greeted with a salute "Flash Sentry: member of the Crystal Guard that protects Prince Shining and Princess Cadance, reporting for duty, Commander!"
The earth pony, Limestone, greeted "My name is Limestone Pie: one of the Pie sisters."
The second pony greeted with the same tone "My name is Maud Pie, Limestone's sister and another member of the Pie sisters."
Tychus shivered 'That girl gives me the creeps. Reminds me of the Ghosts.'
Raynor smiled "Welcome to Backwater Station on Mar Sara. Since you are stranded here, maybe you can join us and wait until a transport comes."
The equines went into a meeting to talk before Shining looks at them "We agree to come along as long as you help us finding a way back to Equestria."
"Its a deal." Raynor stated then shook hands- ur, hooves, with Shining Armor.
Later...
Shining and the equines were in the Command Center in their quarters when they began to hear sirens from afar. They began to get up and ran over to the Control Room and they see Raynor and Tychus doing some things.
"What is going on!?" Cadance shouted in question.
The two looked at the equines and Raynor replied "Zerg are invading the planet. I had placed defenses but we are getting multiple attack waves and I only have so many men on the field. Transport is almost here, but the Zerg are sending an endless wave of soldiers and we are being overwhelmed!"
Shining nodded "Alright. I'll see what I can do..."
Shining began to rush outside, leaving the equines and very confused Raynor and Tychus. Shining got outside and ignited his horn. He unleashes a wave of his magical aura, which wiped out all the Zerg in the area and a massive shield surrounded Backwater Station. The Zerg had halted its' assault until after a few minutes, they began to attack again. It didn't take long before the 'transport' arrived and Shining return to the Command Center, which took off and began to board the Hyperion.
On the bridge of the Hyperion, the equines were admiring the technology while Tychus was looking at it with some jealousy.
"Damn Jimmy," Tychus stated in some awe "you've been holding out on me."
"Cutting it pretty close there, Matt." Raynor address the man who at this weird looking table.
The said man turned around and looked at Raynor "Never left you hanging before sir."
"Fair enough." Raynor stated "Just get us the hell out of here."
Matt nodded and began to give out orders. Once he said "mark", the Hyperion left in a flash.
Meanwhile at a Zerg Hive...
There was a figure in the shadows, looking where the Hyperion had just warped away. The figure began to look towards the skies and the eyes of that figure was purple and those eyes began to glow.
"My Queen, can you hear me?" The figure asked in the Zerg Hivemind.
The Queen of Blades, Kerrigan, heard the question "Report."
"My mission was unsuccessful. Before me and my brood's arrival, the terrans known as the Raynor's Raiders had took the artifact from the Dominion and they managed to set up a fortress in a place known as Backwater Station. Just as when my forces were about to secure our victory over the artifact fragment, some sort of force had annihilated my entire force that was in Backwater Station and it kept a shield up that would match against a Purifier being charged by a Nexus." The figure reported back the results of said failed mission.
Kerrigan began to ponder about the report "Interesting... Did you see the source?"
The figure began to think before remembering something "No, but my memories of my past life shows that the only other person that could raise a shield like that is Shining Armor."
Kerrigan began to nod "A fellow equine, like you. Stick to the shadows and don't reveal yourself just yet. For now, proceed in helping your fellows with the invasion and check up on progress with them."
The figure gave a mental nod to Kerrigan and cut the mental link chat with her and began to link up with her 'fellows'.
"What's the sudden call for, Infest T?" A voice asked.
The figure, Infest T, replied "My mission on Mar Sara ended in failure. However, it was not a complete loss."
Another voice asked "Whatever do you mean, darling?"
Infest T mentally sighed, heard to everyone in the link chat "What I mean is that I discovered that Shining Armor was on Mar Sara and he managed to save the Raynor's Raiders and the artifact. He got away but I have the feeling that Shining wasn't alone."
There was a lot of gasps from the link chat. The ones that gasped had stopped, physically.
"A-Are you sure?" A voice asked for confirm.
Infest T mentally nodded "Yes, Infest F. Psionic wise, he is a level nine. But I am a level eleven, almost as powerful as my mentor, the Queen of Blades. However, I swore I felt a fellow level eleven in that station. It felt familiar like... an alicorn."
"One of the Princesses' are here!? In this galaxy!?" A voice said in panic.
Infest T mentally sighed "Infest R2, keep your cool. If I had to guess that alicorn, it would be Princess Cadance."
"How would y'all know it was Cadance?" another voice asked.
Infest T mentally look at the said voice "Cadance wasn't as powerful as Celestia and Luna, Infest A. But I have the feeling there is more to this than we think. I suggest we keep an eye out for them." Infest T felt a lot of mental nods in the link chat "Anyways; back to business. Infest A, status on the invasion?"
Infest A replied "The invasion is going well so far. Dominion forces have pulled back from the fringe worlds, exposing the colonies to Zerg attack. Several worlds are already being butchered and I will be leading an assault on Agria."
Infest T nodded "What about you; Infest R1?"
"My work is slow due to lava surges on the planet Redstone III. And I'm having some problems with the Terran Mining group on the surface with us." Infest R1 reported.
"What about you, Infest R2?"
"I'm still tracking down the artifacts. I've already found one on Monlyth and informed the Queen about it. I'm still hunting down some more but progress would be easier if I didn't have Protoss trying to attack me and my scouts." R2 reported with some annoyance.
Infest T rolled its eyes "How about you, Infest F?"
"My brood is doing everything in its power to keep the war effort up. But me and the Broodmothers are still doing working closer to our target." Infest F reported.
"Finally Infest P. How is all the tracking going and the process of the infestation?"
"Oh, my Overseers are still scouting out planets to see where colonies use as a place of refuge." Infest P reported with some happiness and joy in its voice, like it was cheerful.
Infest T sighed "Alright. Keep working on your parts. And keep a look out for the Raynor's Raiders." It felt the mental nods from its fellows before the link ended. Infest T couldn't help but get the feeling that it will meet the equines soon.
Hello everyone. I hope you are ready to read this new series I had already had a head start in. Apologies if there isn't any new posts for the Potter-Dracula series but things have been happening like me getting a job to work, seeing the what my new computer is working out, and seeing if I can get a schedule to work on my story before playing.
Those who don't know about a earlier request, I had ask of which series I should do after the Potter-Dracula series and since no one bothered the comment down what I should go, I decided to proceed with this series.
I'll inform you now that I do have a head start and that I have five chapters, not including this one, already finished with a sixth in progress. I'll post once a month of this chapter but my primary goal WILL be the Potter-Dracula series. Until the entire series is finished, I will not refocus a new goal and discard the series. I'm not that type of person to discard a project so easily.
