Equestrian Saviors
Chapter 1 Divine Intervention
"DAMNIT!" Yelled Michael, slamming his tactical comm radio to the mud below his feet. "Sergeant we were denied air lift"
"Then how the hell do they plan on getting us outta here!" Barked the sergeant. but froze when he realised that there indeed was not going to be an evac.
"What should we do now?" Asked Private Michael. The question was met with nothing but a blank stare from the Sergeant. "Sir?" The private repeated once more. Michael sighed and turned to the rest of the men left in the squad seeing as he would have to take charge, a decision had to be made on what to do next, making a bad decision would be better then not making a decision at all.
"Ok men we're going to fall-ba..." Michael's sentence was cut off by the all too familiar sound of an incoming mortar. It was loud and undoubtedly its aim was dead on, they had stayed in one place for too long and now it was too late, the remaining members of the squad all hit the floor covering their heads and a blinding white flash overtook Michael's vision.
It was a beautiful day in Equestria as usual, but nothing about today was "Usual" for Twilight Sparkle because today, Canterlot was hosting it's annul science fair and it was in full swing.
Twilight stood behind the table that contained her experiment with her elemental friends plus Spike for support. While the other competing ponies were presenting the same old projects such as magical manipulation, levitation, etc, Twilight was taking a new approach. Twilight's presentation was on xenology which was the study of extraterrestrial life. The problem was, Twilight didn't have and foreign life forms, the only thing she did have were posters and papers and the judge was only five stations away and was quickly making his way to Twilight's project.
"Come on Twilight, do the spell." Nagged Spike. "No." Twilight snapped back. "We already talked about this, summoning extraterrestrial life could have dire consequences." Spike rolled his eyes. "You said that the spell will bring back a single organism assuming that there is life on another planet, most likely a single celled organism, and some of it's surrounding area so it will have a piece of it's old habitat. It'l be fine, besides don't you remember, the winner gets that cool telescope..." Spike said as he pointed to a large telescope that was roped off in the center of the event.
Twilight really wanted that telescope... but she wouldn't put others at risk to get it. her thoughts were interrupted when she saw that the judge was now in front of her table with a clipboard. The judge was already taking notes with a levitation spell and a quail on Twilight's posters. Twilight bit her lip, all she had was paper while the others had flashing experiments. The judge wrote down his final thoughts and looked up at Twilight. "Well.." He said. "Is this it." Twilight saw Spike doing a disappointing head nod in the corner of her eye. "I, err... no. No that's not it, I am going to show you a REAL alien!" She said as she hesitantly took a small dish and a microscope out from her bag. The judge rolled his eyes and Twilight could hear snickering from a few of the competitors. "Very well Ms. Sparkle." Said the judge. "Go ahead." Twilight placed the small dish on the table. Looked back at her friends who were now sporting large approving smiles, looked back at the small dish, placed her horn on it, and cast her spell. A blinding white light overtook the room and Twilight felt a rush of wind and dirt go through her mane. Twilight also heard the small dish shatter and the table collapse.
Michael woke up but he saw nothing but white, he felt a sharp pain in his side. "Good." He thought to himself. "That meant that he was not dead.". As his vision started to clear he noticed brightly colored blobs hovering over him. "What the hell?" He muttered which was responded to by several gasps.
But these gasps were not from any of his squad mates "If they are not part of my squad then they could not be friendly." He thought to himself. He waited a couple of seconds and attempted to reach for his gun but it was missing he quickly motioned to his chest where his combat knife was located and to Michael's relief it was still there. Michael sprung up despite the pain in his side and charged at the closest blur he could see. But he was stopped in his tracks by...something, his skin felt... tingly.
Twilight held the creature in place with her magic, it had just tried to attack one of her best friends after all.
"Let me at em!" Yelled Rainbow Dash.
Twilight walked up and looked at the still frozen creature, Since the spell brought the surrounding area of the organism the creature was still wearing green and brown patterned cloths that it must have been wearing before it was teleported, she looked it in the eyes and saw what looked like... confusion? Fear? Both? Her thoughts were interrupted when the creature spoke. "What do you want from me?"
The six friends gasped.
"It can talk!" Exclaimed Rarity.
"You can talk?" Yelped the creature.
