"Im sorry, what?" Asked Twilight in shock, she was glad Fluttershy's pet rabbit, Angel and her other animals were asleep, or else dealing with panicked animals on such short notice so suddenly would be a catastrophe, the once bright room turned to dim, to dark... As if the sun had been killed off, leaving them in eternal darkness.. "Blood..Twilight. Blood." Responded Fluttershy, she had a disturbed expression on her face as if the word was something terrible and foreign to her, as if she had to kill someone she loved.

"I saw the blood and it left out as a little trail, but then i followed it and i didn't see anything, no body.. Pony or animal.." Continued Fluttershy, "But i did find this.." Fluttershy got up and began trotting away to a corner of the house, while Twilight pondered the potential situation they have on their hooves. Blood on the ground, slashes in a cliff? No body? It didn't add up! Twilight hoped and prayed that this was just some sick, sick, prank. But nobody she knew would stoop to this as a joke. Fluttershy returned with a small, flat, steel gray, cubicle with a sphere surrounded by bronze, with a small switch on its side. "I dont know what it is, so you thought you might know." Asked Fluttershy puzzled, now Twilight had to accept that this is real, and it is not a joke. But a sliver of her still refused to believe Fluttershy, they might be friends, but for her this is just too much.

"I can take a look. But i'm not quite sure what it is." Replied Twilight curiously, she held it up with her magic, inspecting it in the new light of an un-blocked sun, She tilted it at angles, inspected the glass-like sphere on the thing. She decided to fiddle with the presumed switch a little. And boy was she in for a surprise.

The device sputtered to life, the odd half-sphere had light up brightly, a cold cyan blue glow emanated from it, Twilight set it down as calmly as possible, but on the inside she was a nervous wreck, who knows what would happen if it broke? The glow strengthened, creating a form of wall in the middle of the air, the "Wall" began to show something, at this moment, the final sliver of Twilight's mind that thought this was a cruel, sick, joke, incinerated

into ash, with this she lost any hope this was fake.

It showed a grassy meadow, with the darkend grass full of morning dew, with the meadow coming closer and closer, it then hit the ground, anddulla Thud could be heard, a few moments later. Something could be heard rustling in the grass, then the meadow became visible, as it showed a cliff edge with some form of hole in the sky, it was a warm blue color, leaving a shockingly cold cyan blue pulse every now and then, bits of debris and shrapnel rained from it, before the sky seemed to fuse and sew itself back together. "Shit." moaned a disgruntled, distorted voice, it sounded like a growl, and a cough. "Man if there is a god, either he hates me or gave me a second chance.." mumbles the distorted voice mournfully. The screen began to whip around and show a partially mutilated face, the place where a throat would be, became a bloody, gelatinous puff of pink flesh erupting from whatever was left of the skin, the face's skin had holes located on the skin of the cheek and chin, lacerations on its forehead, there was faded, scruffy hair that looked much more neater than anything else. The arm that appeared to be holding the device didn't look any prettier, there were even worse lacerations on the arm, with wider holes in the skin where areas seemed to be sunken in and corroded in, however the left arm looked slightly better and more intact.. How this brutally mutilated creature managed to even breathe startled her, this thing should be dead! Lying peacefully on the ground after escaping whatever did this to the creature. The creatures mouth opened, revealing a mouth full of teeth, some fused into fangs, others fused only partially, leaving small gaps in its gums, as the teeth glistened their ivory color in the rising daylight, it then spoke, "To anybody out here.. If you find this... I accidently landed here from a shock gate, As far as i know im looking for a hospital, some cloth to bind m-myself back togeth-" Spoke worridly the creature before the device fell back onto the meadow, showing the creature wearing some form of torn, faded green t-shirt and some shredded pants, and this strange metal thing jutting out of its back flashing red, The creature collapsed and began convulsing and choking and coughing and squirting out blood, 'That would explain the trail' Reasoned Twilight in her mind, however a few minutes ago, Fluttershy had to look away, seeing something so injured and being unable to help it went against her nature, and it was just too much for her to take in so fast.

The device stopped and turned off. Fluttershy had calmed down, but Twilight however was stewing away pondering this situation, now more questions were presented, but even more answers were needed. "Was that it?" Asked Fluttershy meekly, and to which after turning the switch again, it revealed the same screen, and the same things, along with a slightly weaker reaction from the two ponies. Twilight prepared some tea and left Fluttershy to calm herself down with a nice cup of tea, while Twilight headed home with the device to deliver an urgent message to Princess Celestia.

Meanwhile Lance laid sprawled on some blue flowers, exhausted from travelling. He took no notice of how his right hands five fingers fused together partially to form three digits, which took a little time to move around because of their stiffness, his left arm bent together and fused into another arm where his hand became a bony, flesh covered blade. To him he thought he was hallucinating all of this. That sooner or later he'd be all right, maybe this was just a start of a Colony someone was building. But for now he decided to patch his wounds that he thought were real, as getting sliced by debris and shrapnel isn't fun. He laid back up, soaking in warm sunlight after ages of artificial light, The flowers reminded him of blue orchids that he saw during his childhood, he never actually felt or saw them. He only ever managed to see pictures of them. he found some type of tree sap and some of the cleanest leaves he could find, and began to pull and tug at the debris stuck in his back, with each touch making it loosen and flow small rivers of crimson, to which he resounded to with moans and growls of pain and agony. With each successful attempt to remove the debris, he began "gluing" the leaves on him using the tree sap, which hardened into strong pieces of amber. The lovely shade of blue of the flowers became stained with crimson red, slightly glistening in the light. Lance began hurriedly scampering to no direction in particular, because the sun won't last forever and when night finally dawns he would need to hide or atleast find a place to rest, he took a quick check at his R.I.G as last time he checked it was a glowing red color, but now it had stabilized to a solid orange color, but it was mostly tetering on the red color than orange, and he continued on his way.

Meanwhile back at Twilight's home, sending a message to the princess as a very confused Spike had to write it all down and quickly send it on its way. After the message was sent Twilight was rewarded with confused and crazy looks by her draconic assistant, Spike. Who after explaining this whole predicament to Spike, was still met with a confused look. "So, your saying that you found some strange thing, and after fiddling with it, you've discovered theres a zombie like creature out there, that might need help, or could be dangerous... Because of it's teeth?" Questioned Spike, to which Twilight replied irratedly "For the last time Spike, YES!!" Spike had walked around the library section to sort out piles of books that were put in the wrong shelves, when Spike had abruptly burped up a scroll the moment he picked up a book.
