Derpy and the Asimadrons.
Prologue.
The Universe we live in is cold, grey, heartless, and evil. But, there is a host of races seeking only to help others. Over years and years of conflict, they have drawn the line that protects us from the Evil. However, one race blurs that line, The Assimadrons. Their civilization's life began when a derelict starship carrying billions of eons worth of bacteria that thrived in the cold vacuum of space careened through a star at 10 times the speed of light. The intense heat and friction melded the surviving electric equipment with the bacteria, creating nano-life. The ship could have easily disappeared from history by shooting out of the star system, but instead, it smashed into a massive arid planet. The bacteria slowly evolved, by seeking to better their mechanical structure by absorbing the other biological creatures on the planet. The result was an entire empire of cyborgs ruled by sentient machines. After a few millennia, they discovered Hyper-Warp, the most effective version of faster-than-light travel. With this technology, they explored their galaxy, adopting other cultures, and adding more and more volunteers to the ranks of their empire. One day, one of their starship prototypes, named: Bringer of Ascension, a disc-shaped ship with 2 pairs of slating wings with a pair on top and on bottom, accidentally created a wormhole while testing a new, experimental Hyper-Warp Drive, through which they could see a M-Class planet. That planet was one the Humans have glimpsed through the efforts of Michael Reaves, George Arthur Bloom, David Wise, Michael Charles Hill, Carla Conway, Gerry Conway, Tracy Mann Hill, Gordon Kent, Barbara Petty, Rebecca Parr, Martin Pasko, and Linda Woolverton. The planet's name: Equestron. A planet home to 3 remarkable branches of ponies, Earth Ponies, Pegasai, and Unicorns. At first, the Assimadrons were apprehensive of entering the wormhole. So they sent an unmanned probe to collect a sample of life from the planet. Why? I really have no idea. The probe descended on the planet in the dead of night. Searching for the perfect specimen. Locating a small village, it detected an ideal target, using a a tractor beam, it pulled the specimen into the probe and began to analyze the target. It was an extremely young male Earth Pony, commonly refered to as a "colt". Sifting through his memories, it deduced that he had gotten lost while attempting to follow his mother who was going to talk to someone named Princess Celestia. Once the probe returned to the Bringer of Ascension, the Asimadrons assimilated the colt, turning him into a very special cyborg. He could think for himself. But while they were busy with the colt, the Hyper-Warp Drive on the ship began to overheat from the exertion of keeping the Wormhole open, and soon... The Drive began to go into meltdown, the Drive was going to explode and the Wormhole would close. Quickly, they evacuated the ship, and escaped to a safe distance. But the Wormhole closed. The Asimadrons were deprived of Equestron. The colt was given a name so he could seem more "friendly", Xylo. So life continued on Equestron, and in Equestria uninterrupted by the Asimadrons...
But... The Asimadrons do not give up so easily, they rebuilt the Hyper-Warp Drive that created the Wormhole which they called: Opportunity. So over the course of 12 years, they built a starship that harnessed the power of the sun. A SolarSphere, titled, The Power Core. And now, an eager Xylo waits in a small corvette to return to Equestron and spread the Asimadrons' culture across the planet, starting in his old hometown, apparently named Ponyville...
