This is Chapter 1, it will be your starting point for the main story itself. So enjoy! And as a small side note, all chapters from now on are subject to serious change. But thankfully I have only made minor changes as of yet to this chapter, such as different descriptions for the ponies as one of my fellow authors informed me that the names of colours were far too complex to understand, so they have been changed as to make it easier for the viewers. Anyway, I will see you fine Crabs at the bottom of the page!

Chapter 1: The Hero awakened.

Ponyville: Present day. 11:54 am, Sunday. Eve of Nightmare Night.

Celestia's sun had risen only a few hours ago, and was now rising slowly above the Equestrian plains. In the downtown section of Ponyville laid a tiny orphanage and a small filly was standing outside, tapping the ground with her foreleg impatiently. "Come on Scootaloo! How long does it take fer ya tah get yer backpack ready?!" called the southern sounding filly.

This small earth pony had a pale yellow coat and a cherry red mane and tail. She also had a large red bow in her hair, which was covered by a caving helmet.

A few seconds passed and the young pony was clearly impatient with her friend's tardiness. Another minute went by before Scootaloo trotted out of the orphanage with what appeared to be a large assortment of caving gear similar to what her friend was wearing. "Applebloom do we seriously have to go now?!" Scootaloo asked irritably. Scootaloo was a filly Pegasi with a slightly pale orange coat and a lightish purple mane and tail. In answer to her friends inquiry, Applebloom nodded eagerly and grabbed her friend, she then began to drag her through town towards the building known as Carousel Boutique.

After knocking on the door, Applebloom could hear the sound of hooves approaching from behind the door. Her secondary friend, Sweetie Belle, was the one to answer. Sweetie Belle was the younger sister to Rarity Belle, the owner of Carousel Boutique. Her coat was the same white as her older sister, but her mane was a combo of pale white, purple and deep purple colours . "Please remind me why I had to get up at this hour?" asked the unicorn filly. Applebloom reached underneath her caving hat and produced an agenda for their week. Underneath the Sunday section were the words 'caving'. "Don't ya remember that we agreed to try and get our caving Cutie Marks tahday?" Applebloom asked bluntly. Sweetie Belle groaned and went to get her saddlebags, as she levitated them onto her back she muttered to herself, "it's gonna be a VERY long day".

Ponyville mountains: 1:55pm, Sunday.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders had slowly trekked their way up the mountain for quite a while, and now their objective was right in front of them, a cave. Applebloom flicked on the light atop her helmet and ordered the other two to fall in behind her. The fillies did so diligently and then proceeded into the dark depths of the cave.

The fillies ducked low as they had to be wary of the stalactites hanging from the roof. Applebloom's guiding light ensured that they navigated safely through the nooks and crannies of the cave. As the three young mares turned a bend, of any inconvenient times it could happen, the light on Applebloom's helmet flickered slightly and then died altogether. The fillies screamed and huddled tightly together.

For a few minutes they worked on calming themselves down. Finally, they ceased the screaming and took in their surroundings, they couldn't see much, until Sweetie Belle noticed a faint pulsing glow emanating from somewhere up ahead. "Girls, look!" she whispered in both fear and excitement in hopes of it being a resolution to their predicament. The Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at each other and nodded. They slowly trotted towards the strange light, and they found was something nopony would ever expect inside a cave like this.

Whatever the heck it was, the CMC couldn't make heads or tails of what purpose it served. The object was circular with multiple gears and cogs showing from the sides and with three blue spheres arranged in a triangular fashion were nestled in the inner section of the object, the rest of the strange item was made up of gold and silver. The trio of ponies gazed upon it in awe. Scootaloo, without realising it, had walked up rather close to the object. "Scoots, what in the hay are ya doing?" asked Sweetie Belle nervously. Scootaloo didn't take heed of her comrade's question and ran a hoof along the rim of the sphere closest to her. And suddenly, the outer layer of the object began to turn and glow at an alarming rate. Scootaloo cursed under her breath and backed away as the ground began to shake. By now, the other layers of the device had started turning in opposite directions to one another, and an ominous humming began to waft out of the machine. The circular panels then started to seperate themselves from each other and rose upwards. All that remained where the panels were once locked in, was a room with a spiralling portal in the center of its courtyard. The girls dared to venture fowards, but soon backed away when the wind began to increase in speed. Ancient dust swirled around, making the CMC have to cover their muzzles as to not suffocate. Then there was a flash of blue light and the wind calmed. In the middle of the room now layed a gold robotic looking stallion. On closer inspection, the fillies noted his pony type, one of the rarest kind, an Alicorn. His face and legs were covered by his armour, but his wing colour, which had armour running along the leading edge, told the young ones that he was prussian blue. Thanks to his mane and tail poking out in designated slats showed he had deep brown hair. A blue crystal gen was interlocked in the front of the breastplate. "Is he dead?" Applebloom questioned to nopony in particular. Sweetie Belle examined the circular item and tapped her hoof against it. Suddenly, a loud hissing noise escaped from the segments in the armour as the helmet and leg covers retracted into the main section. This revealed his cutie mark, which was a grey cloud with two criss-crossed lightning bolts behind it, strange markings were surrounding the cutie mark itself. Another press of the gem transformed the armour into a disc with the gem in the middle. The stallions face was now showing, his eyes were shut tight and his mouth hung open slightly. But that didn't last long because the Alicorn stallion's eyes sprung open revealing aqua green irises. He sprang to his hooves and sent the Cutie Mark Crusaders in panic. The three young friends galloped away, only to be drawn back by a levitation spell from the stranger. He raised the three up to eye level (considering his height that's 6 and a half feet up). The Alicorn stared into the trio's eyes and began yelling out: "Niva pocrestikeet jang dan ala matré kal munsa Luna?! KAL MUNSA LUNA?!" He continued yelling a little less loudly, the terrified fillies clamped their eyes shut. "Bah veshno da bujojaya mah seemi dra moona koa! Dra mooda kileva doth backoou kea vonceau!". After realising he wasn't going to get an answer, he abruptly dropped the fillies and galloped his way out of the cave. Leaving behind three unconscious Cutie Mark Crusaders.

End of Chapter 1...

So that was the first chapter of what may hopefully become a popular fanfiction! And if you are thinking that Concord's first words are complete gibberish, that's because it is gibberish! There's a fun fact for you all. Please leave your thoughts and suggestions in the review below, but also please no hate. So with my A/N done, I'll see you fine Crabs... IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!
