o.O.o
The blue Gas Giant, Skyrim, was the Pegasus home world for the Equestrian galaxy. Much like Cloudsdale on Equestria, Skyrim had an abundance of cloud cities. One of with was the capitol known as Rainbow Falls. Rainbow Falls was a city much like Cloudsdale but on the scale and Size of Manhattan or New York on earth. Though it had the Depth of going down and up unlike earth cities.
The librarian Pegasus sat there gazing at the 'clouds ring'. A Massive ring that was about 6 Pegasai in Diameter and was made of a stone that floated on the clouds. He was assigned to look at it and try and figure out its secrets. Though it had not been used in over 2 thousand years, it is said that one day it will. His ancestors were one of the ones that had greeted the Great 'Alicorns of Legend' and it was foretold that he would be the one to greet them again; the so called Gate travellers of legend.
"Damn man, I can't see you having a better job than this" an American accented Pegasus said to the librarian. This Pegasus was a pastel Grey colour with Matching short cut tail and longish mane.
The librarian jumped. The Pegasus was a deep jade green colour with a red to white tipped mane and tail. "Bloody 'ell mate, don't sneak up on me like that" he said breathing in deeply and out "You're going to give me a Heart attack"
"Ha-ha all the fun of it. Look a bunch of us are heading to the Pub this evening you wanna come?" the American Pegasus asked. The librarian shook his head.
"Naw, I got shit to do here rather than spend time getting wasted only to have those Damn MP's come along" he said.
"Well Emerald Fire, ya know where to find…"
The American was interrupted as the massive ring grinded in a circular motion before stopping on one of the main symbols. The triangle shifted and with a clunk lighted up.
"Holy Feth" The American said, the librarian was much quicker and slammed a red button under the desk. It sent a quick pulse to the main garrison to send 'backup' as the 3rd triangle shifted.
"Yank, get back" Emerald Fire shouted as the two of them ducked behind the Desk, which he had kicked over in panic to hit the 'panic button', as the last symbol locked into place.
"Hey it's not yank its fething Sarge remember that" Sarge shouted as the Puddle erupted causing 2 walk ways to be vaporised in seconds. With 3 'Shlorping' sounds the two colts could here 3 voices.
"Well this is not entirely what I expected. Looks a lot like Cloudsdale" a Male said he was backed up by a Female
"What were you expecting Soarin, Metal decking? This is a Gas Giant of Skyrim. Of course it's going to look like Cloudsdale" the Female said to have a second female interrupt
"Well I couldn't care less. I'm just here Cause Twilights to busy banging Harry" she said, sounding like more of a tom boy.
"No it's because Twilight is a unicorn and one of them coming here is a little Difficult to hide a horn coming out of your forehead. That's why Arcanis asked us to do it" the other female said as the Gate closed down. "To blend in"
The two hiding Pegasai peered over the table to see 3 Pegasai standing there. The Colt, obviously Soarin, was looking around whilst the two females where in mid air arguing. One was a Pastel red with orange mane, whilst the hovering one was light blue with Rainbow streaks going through it.
That's when shit hit the proverbial fan. The Two hiding colts had completely forgotten about the 'panic button' and a squad of MP (Military police) were positioned with stun guns in harnesses aiming at the three, and them.
"Oh Feth me" Sarge muttered as the MP's burst in stunning all three new Pegasai as well as Emerald Fire and Sarge.
Darkness overtook them as emerald fire heard the words that would haunt him
"We have confirmation, the ring works. We have 3 off worlders and 2 of ours ready for mind wiping"
o.O.o
Emerald Fire found himself waking in his dorm with a start. That damn nightmare again, 4th time in 4 days, every time the same ordeal, all about his collage friends. Cursing he got out of bed, his roommate 'Sarge' was snoring even though it was about 8 in the morning. He would be like that until first class at 10 am for him anyway, Emerald Fire had the day off.
"For a guy named after a damn military rank, he sure is lazy" he muttered as he grabbed his Saddle Bags, he had a Day free today and was going to hang out with Soarin, Spitfire and Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash though was more of a 'Dike' than a mare-friend, but was cool none the less. The group with Sarge had been friends since Flight school all those years ago.
Making his way to the local Park, a Cloud park with statues of various Pegasai he found Spitfire and Rainbow arguing yet again, with Soarin taking a step back. Spitfire and Rainbow Dash were sisters with Spitfire being a year older than Rainbow Dash, but Dash had speed on her side and it was rumoured that she could pull off a 'Sonic Rain-Boom'. Like hell Emerald Fire thought. She was fast but not that fast.
"What are they arguing about?" He asked Soarin who shrugged.
"No clue, found the two of them just arguing again" he admitted. "Something about a group called the Wonderbolts apparently"
"Who?" asked Emerald Fire to w again shrugging Soarin 'who are the Wonderbolts? Sounds like a performer's group name"
"That's what I thought, though it rings bells up here" Soarin said tapping his head "But for the life of me I cannot remember"
"Oh hey Emerald Fire, How's things with you?" Rainbow said as she only noticed he standing there with Soarin. It was common knowledge amongst the group that Emerald Fire had slept with Rainbow Dash not 5 days ago, after a night of pure Drinking and partying. Both denied such things, but both were now that much closer.
"Can't complain ya know? But hey, shall we get this damned Assignment sorted out?" Emerald Fire asked Rainbow Dash who landed beside him.
"Sure" she said back. Both were studying aero-physics and had an assignment due in the coming days.
"Right then. I promise Spitfire I shall return her later okay"
"Whatever, I'm not fussed" Spitfire said
o.O.o
"I'm surprised at Pegasai enthusiasm; those 2 catwalks were destroyed only days ago by those anti military guys and yet there they are good as new" Emerald Fire said, however the Massive ring still stood there, unmoving and daunting as ever.
"Yeah bout that thing, I've been having some seriously Crazy dreams about it" Rainbow admitted as the two sat on one the upper walkways. The librarian was still missing from 5 days ago.
"No kidding. I've had some crazy dreams about that thing to. Abet weird" Emerald Fire said Rainbow Dash looked at him.
"Seriously, about what though" Rainbow asked
"Last 4 nights, it's been the exact same…" emerald Fire said explaining in great detail the dream.
After 5 mins of explaining
"wow, that's almost the same as the one I had as well the last 2 nights mind you" Rainbow Dash said "it's like this though"
~o.O.o~
"Dash you need to stop flying around like that" Spitfire shouted at Rainbow Dash who was busy doing loops in the main Gate room "do you want to be vaporised by the gate?"
"Awe common Spitfire, chill out. This is going to be Awe~some" Rainbow Dash said landing. Arcanis's voice echoed over the intercom
"This is just a re-consonance mission, be careful and assess the situation only. I don't want a repeat of Magrathia" he said "Beginning Dialling Sequence. If you're not back in a week we are going to send a rescue party"
"Roger that. Okay, let's get this train wreak moving" rainbow said as the Gate Fwooshed into existence and the 3, Soarin Spitfire and Rainbow Dash all entered the gate
~o.O.o~
"Then it's pretty much the exact same as yours. Weird eh?" Rainbow said idly pulling out an Aero-Physics Book from her saddlebags.
"Yeah, Hey I always wanted to ask, how did you get your cutie mark?"
"What this?" Rainbow said looking at her flank "Got it during flight school after doing a Sonic Rain-boom"
"That can't be right; I would remember that, you, I and Sarge were in the same class. I don't remember you doing that" Emerald Fire admitted
"The Funny thing is that I don't remember you or Sarge being there yet I know you were? Strange, oh well lest get this assignment sorted out" Rainbow Said changing the subject
o.O.o
"Umm Arcanis can I have a moment if that is alright with you…" A familiar yellow Pony with pink mane and tail asked the Alicorn.
"Fluttershy! Good to see you again, please have a seat I have all the time in the world. Well not really this paperwork is driving me nuts, but enough for a friend" he said laughing slightly as she sat on the Couch that was in his office. Thanks to a colt called 'Doctor Whooves' he managed to make his office bigger on the inside than on the outside "So what brings you here?"
"Well, it's Pinkie Pie. She's been having her 'pinkie sense' going off every hour and she claims that something has happened to the Wonder Bolts off world so to speak" She explained. Arcanis nodded. It was fact that if Pinkie's a Twitching you better duck for cover.
"When did she start?" Arcanis asked.
"About an hour after they went to Skyrim" she admitted.
"Okay, if that's the case I'll get a scout orb ready and we'll send it through, but if they are in trouble I'm out of Pegasai that could help bar you and some of the guards…or not" Arcanis said remembering the Device that Twilight had constructed from Rodney's design "I'm going to have to call in a favour for this one"
"I want to help. If that's possible" Fluttershy said firmly
"Of course Fluttershy; the two that I have in mind may be able to help us if they agree" Arcanis said as the Gate spun up to dial Skyrim. In the room was a single grey sphere like object called a scout sphere sat there; With a Fwoosh the gate activated and the sphere hovered into the gate puddle. A Holo display appeared on Arcanis's desk and it showed the image of the library with Pegasai looking at it in dismay.
"THERE" Fluttershy said pointing out the outline of Rainbow with a colt.
"Let's see if I can get her attention" Arcanis said taking remote control over the spybot.
"Send a Cloaked one just in case" Arcanis said via intercom to Alpha Centauri
o.O.o
'THE HELL IS THAT NOISE" Rainbow shouted as they looked at the now Spinning gate. The two walkways again were vaporised as many Pegasai flew out of the way. That's when the two looked to see the Ring with a blue puddle in it. Out flew a Small sphere like object; it then proceeded to shift slightly towards Rainbow Dash as it floated to her face.
"What the?" they both asked as a group of MP's burst in and using the combat harnesses blew the sphere to bits.
"Find everyone and bring them here now" Barked the leader; the rest broke off and started to round up the Pegasai that had seen the gate activating.
"We need to get out of here now" Emerald Fire said only to have a pair of MP's ambush them round the corner and knock both of them out.
"That's the last of them…Damn these two again the Feth" one said as Rainbow Dash's and Emerald Fire's body's were among the group to be mind wiped.
"I don't care, Wipe them and put them in bed together again, throw a couple bottles of Vodka or something like that on the floor" the leader said as the MP sighed pulling out a strange alien like device and aimed it at Rainbow Dash's forehead and pulled the trigger sending a small beam into her mind.
What they didn't notice was the floating cloaked sphere watching them
o.O.o
"(SON OF A BITCH)" Arcanis swore in ancient "that settles it" he said walking out of the office with Fluttershy in tow. "Alpha Centauri!" he said in the main command room. The unicorn looked at him
"We were watching from here. What is your request?" he said sounding scared of the now Pissed off Alicorn
"Dial Atlantis, I'm going to need help with this one" Arcanis said as the Gate began to turn and dial Atlantis
-.-.-
Dr Carson Beckett was busy dealing with a mass outbreak of the Flu amongst the members of Atlantis. Carter had her hands full keeping John on a leash so as not to strangle McKay for bringing it into the base, when a familiar voice echoed across the base.
"Unscheduled off world activation, Colonel Carter and Colonel Sheppard please Report to the main console room immediately"
"Report" both Carter and Sheppard said in unison both entering from different angles.
"We have a confirmed IDC it's our friends from SGE" McKay said "We are receiving a Comm. signal"
"Patch us through" Carter said as a familiar face appeared on the view screen
"Afternoon Colonel"
"Actually it's morning here" Carter said flatly
"Afternoon here, damn time differences; I'm not doing this for the social call. I need help. We have a team stuck off world with a group of mind wipers. I thought you guys would be able to help out?" Arcanis asked. Carter looked at Sheppard who shrugged
"I got nothing on, Rohnan's off world with Teahla, so that leave me and Rodney…though he's down with the flu, but I'm still up for it"
"Colonel Carter, Mister Woolsey is on approach in the Dedalus" an orderly said. Carter groaned, this would be the perfect excuse to get away from that particular person
"We are a tad Shorthanded here Captain Vickers, but I can get a team together to help out"
"Excellent thanks for that; how long until the team gets here?" He asked
"Less than half an hour I can get the team to you…any requirements?" Carter responded
"People who can fly and aren't scared of heights. Also a Medical doctor would be helpful, one who is familiar with Alien mind devices" Arcanis said as he signed off and the gate closed.
o.O.o
Dr Beckett was breathing a sigh of relief as Carter asked him to accompany her and Sheppard on this rather obtuse mission. It would be only them as requested by Captain Vickers, but at least it got him off world for a Brief time. The Gate spun and activated as the three of them entered the gate.
After the disorientating effects wore off, Beckett was surprised at who greeted them. He was expecting human's not Pastel coloured Equines, Or unicorns or Pegasai. His mind refused to make any sense of the matter.
"DR Beckett long time no sees last I heard you were umm dead?" the Pegacorn said walking up to him
"Do I know you?" he asked as Carter and Sheppard were greeting a pair of ponies. One a purple unicorn the other a Yellow Pegasus, who was shy enough but still stood there
"Oh yeah sorry about that, its captain Vickers" Arcanis said "Or Arcanis here. And before you say Pegacorn its Alicorn"
"I wasn't going to say anything" Beckett said
"R~right, well we better head into the Briefing room. Hope you three aren't afraid of Heights for this mission" Arcanis said leading the way
"Why is that?" Sheppard asked, Arcanis smiled
"Skyrim is a Blue Gas giant habited by only Pegasai" he said flatly
"Oh" the three said, Only Carter knew what was going to happen next as she put 2 and 2 together.
"So how the hell is 3 humans supposed to go to a gas giant inhabited by Pegasai?" Sheppard as they were lead into another room adjacent to the briefing room.
"Simply put it will be 4 Pegasai going not 3 humans and a single Pegasus. Twilight made this from Rodney's designs. I think Carter your familiar with this one" Arcanis said
"Oh, great" Carter said as Arcanis looked at them "that thing again. I still have itches where my wings were last time" Carter said as Beckett and Sheppard looked at her "Don't give me that look I have been to Equestria once before to test that device Rodney made" remembering when Twilight and Rainbow Dash along with Arcanis visited Earth
"Who's first?" he asked. The Device was a Pedestal like object with three pillars surrounding it. Twilight who was there Twitched and gave Carter a Quick glance
"I'll do it since the boys are scared" Carter said standing on the Dias. With a blinding light the machine activated.
o.O.o
Rainbow Dash groaned, she was in a dorm at college, looking out the sun was just rising. She felt a small poke in her side followed by a light snore. She looked to her side, sleeping peacefully was Emerald Fire. Her mind raced as she looked at the floor, it was littered with bottles of empty skywiskey. That meant she had gotten so smashed the night before and slept with him again.
"Oh Feth me" she muttered. That would explain the headache and why she woke up next to Emerald again "Dad is going to kill me" she muttered as Emerald Fire woke up.
"Did we just?" he asked, looking at the floor and smelling alcohol on them both "we did didn't we? Remind me not to drink with you again. I don't remember a damn thing" he said, rolling on to the floor. Rainbow gathered her things.
"Well…twice in 6 days, you would think we were dating ha-ha" Rainbow said heading for the door "Look I'm going to borrow your shower then go for some Arial practice" she said leaving her saddle bags at the door and entering the showers. Emerald Fire smirked; Rainbow Dash was always such a tease.
Cleaning up his room of the bottles as he heard the shower stop as Rainbow Dash stepped out, towel around her waist. Her mane was still wet and drooped over one of her eyes.
"You know that look suites you" Emerald Fire said to Rainbow Dash she looked at him and blushed.
"Thanks, look I better be off before my dad chucks a fit again" she said removing the towel and throwing it into the bathroom "Hey we should do it again sometime" she said with a Flick of her tail she left the dorm.
"You and me both" Emerald Fire muttered
o.O.o
Rainbow Dash flew back to her house and was about to enter when she was stopped by a large Pegasus Colt. Behind him was Spitfire who looked rather smug.
"Inside now young lady" he said flatly as he smacked Rainbow over the head as she entered. She let out a small yelp as she entered the Main room. "What time do you call this?" he asked
"Early morning?" she said sarcastically only to have the Colt glare at her "It not like you didn't do this when you were younger!" she shouted at him
"Maybe so, but coming home smelling of Alcohol and not so much of a word to me or Spitfire?" he said back "you mother would be ashamed of you"
"DON'T YOU DARE BRING HER INTO THIS; I AM FETHING HAPPY WHAT IM DOING SO LEAVE ME ALONE!" she said shouting at him before storming off. Spitfire looked at their dad
"She needs discipline that girl" their father noted "Spitfire can you please try and calm her down?"
"I'll try" Spitfire said walking out of the room.
"Urgh, I don't get paid enough for this" he said as a Pegasus materialised out of nowhere "You know if it wasn't for the fact that I worked for the MP's I wouldn't be doing this shit you know"
"I think you're doing a wonderful job, nice acting mind you. Don't think anyone could pull that off. By the way, that's TWICE we have had to mind wipe that Rainbow Dash character. Keep her on a leash will ya. Anymore and she will suffer lasting damage"
"Dammed I know, but how the in the hell am I supposed to know if the gate works. She was in the wrong place and the Wrong time" the colt shouted that the Mare, she shrugged
"Ground her or something your choice" she said as what appeared to be an invisibility field or cloak made her disappear. "Just keep her on a leash"
"Damn you guys" he muttered as he left the room.
o.O.o
Carter stood there, flexing her wings again. She still wore her Combat vest but it had changed to better fit a pony. Sheppard and Beckett looked at her
"Oh how I've missed these, though the quadruped stance is not one I like" Pegasus Carter said. Much like last time, she was a light brown colour with blonde mane. Her mark was that of a mat gray Bird with the SGC symbol behind it.
"I think you look nice Miss Carter" Fluttershy said sheepishly.
"Thank you Fluttershy. Now, Sheppard in NOW!" she demanded. Beckett held a laugh in. Sheppard grinned
"You know I always wanted to stare at your arse Colonel" Sheppard said before being bucked into the device hard courtesy of Carter
The Blinding light flashed again and out came a rather disgruntled Ash grey coloured Pegasus with black Shaggy mane and a short cut tail. He staggered a bit before falling flat on his face with twitching wings. "You could have warned me" Sheppard said flatly, noticing first the wings and second his cutie mark, A Pair of Sheppard's canes from earth crossing halfway with the Atlantis Symbol behind it.
"I sure as hell hope that's not permanent" he said as Becket was almost at bursting point for this. Though he had yet to realise he was next until he found himself standing in the middle of the machine. With a bright flash of light Beckett coughed rather loudly as he managed to make his way out. He was a Pure White Pegasus was black mane that went to his shoulders and a longer tail. Instead of a combat vest like Carter and Sheppard he had wore a pair of saddle bags that sat neatly behind his wings. His mark was that of a pair of syringes on their front in parallel vertically (not crossed) backed by a Red Cross.
"I'm seriously going to kill you two" Beckett said flatly to a laughing Sheppard and Carter who was looking at Arcanis.
"Now what?" Carter asked
"Now you 3 and Fluttershy shall be going to Skyrim to get back our guys" He said flatly.
o.O.o
It was late at night when the Stargate activated on Skyrim again. Once again the 2 walkways were vaporised thanks to the puddles activation. Out flew 4 Pegasai, who immediately flew into the rafters of the building and stayed put. Three had combat harnesses on the other one had a pair of saddlebags. Two of the Harnesses had modified P90 assault Rifles attached and hidden behind the wings, the other had a pair of Zak Ni Tels (Or Zats for short) hidden under the wings. The four remained quite as they saw the MP's appeared and look around for the source of the gate activating... For Pegasai you would think they would look up.
"Keep quiet and don't fire unless I give the order" Sheppard said quietly whilst quickly hoofing the instructions to Carter and Fluttershy. Carter whispered it to her who nodded sheepishly. She didn't like the idea of hurting any-pony so was given the Zat stunners.
"Fan out look for em. If it's more from the other side then you are cleared to engage. This is now a live area and you can use lethal force if necessary" the leader said as Fluttershy shifted dropping a small rock which landed on one of the exploring guards. She meeped quietly as Carter grabbed her from falling off completely. She looked down to see the guard rub his head then look up. Without second though she jumped him
"Owe, what the Feth was…" was all he got out before Carter landed on his back and slammed his face square into the floor. The two other guards looked at the Light Brown Mare that was getting off their comrade
"The hell?" the muttered
"Hi boys" she said smirking
"KILL HER" they both shouted only to have Sheppard's P90's blare into action as he descended like an angel of death. The P90's modified case-less bullets punched through the Flak armour that the MP's wore like a hot knife through butter. They didn't last very long, but the gunfire alerted the others who rushed at the two. Both ducked behind a metal desk that they had upturned and hid behind. The 4 remaining MP's were not ready for what happened next.
"HOW DARE YOU!" screamed Fluttershy as she landed in front of them all and fired the Zats enough to stun the 4 in place "NO PONY IS GOING TO HURT MY FRIENDS!" she screamed as the four literally crapped their pants (If they had any mind you) at the stare she was giving all 4. Sheppard looked at Carter who shrugged then they both looked at Fluttershy who was not breathing but had full blown wings out and was just staring at the 4. That was until the leader clipped her wing with his battle harness. She cried out as she fell to the Ground as a second bullet slammed into her left rear leg. The 4 shook the Stunning effects off and were going to kill her.
"Not on my watch" Sheppard said as he and Carter jumped over the table and let loose into the 4 killing them before they hit the floor. The leader ran as fast as he could and managed to escape the 3 hostiles.
"Damn-it Fluttershy's been hit CARSON!" Sheppard shouted as the Medical Pegasus descended from the rafters "We need to get out of here and find a place to hole up" Sheppard stated, Carter was already looking for a way out.
"This way" Carter said pointing at an emergency exit. Sheppard Ran through first with Beckett carrying Fluttershy who was limping
"ow" she muttered with each step, but thanks to the Morphine it wasn't as bad.
Carter shut the door behind her and with a quick flick set up a small C4 charge to blow once they were clear.
-.-.-
The explosion happened not 2 minutes later as the Fire departments rushed to contain the blaze that had started form the blast. Reporters would later say that it was due to a canister of gas that wasn't sealed proper. They also found the Bodies of 5 MP's that were crushed under falling rafters that fell on then during a routine patrol. The Massive 3 pony in diameter was relocated from the library to a more secure location.
On another note, MP's released the Arrest warrants on 4 wanted Pegasai they claimed started the blaze, 2 mares and a Colt. Of what they called an anarchist cell The Mares were light brown with a Blonde mane and a pastel yellow with a pink mane. The Colt was ash gray with black mane. Their marks were also published.
To be continued
