"I'll be back Twilight, don't worry." I don't blame her for worrying about me, but he's going down one way or the other. I gave her a kiss and ran to Cloud's ship.
Twilight suddenly screamed out. "Promise me this Abram, you all come back alive!"
I turn around and gave her a wink and jumped on board and took off. The Leviathan wasn't very far off, and Ron began opening the hanger doors so that we can land. Once on board, Ron gave us both a towel to wipe off the mud that covered half our bodies. "You two look like a wreck, but that's one hell of a fight you guys gave. Where are we heading to Abram?"
I wiped off the mud on face and responded, "Northern Sector Amigo!"
Ron's face turned white as a ghost. "The…the, Northern Sector."
"If you want to get this guy so bad that you just took off, then yes. Go to the Northern Sector quickly." We all gather our nerves and went to our own quarters to get some rest. When I got to my room, I found Discord sprawled out on the floor. "Discord, what are you doing here?"
From the looks, he's been beaten, I completely entered the room and Pinky Pie laid against the wall knocked out. "What happened to you guys?" I found something fascinating by my cot. I picked it up and it's my pen cam from my house. I hope it was on when these two got here. I sat down and plugged the pen into the main computer frame. The video made my skin craw as I seen my father beating Pinky Pie and Discord. This happened 40 minutes before the fight. "Wait a minute, I thought I saw Pinky in the crowd. This doesn't make any sense."
I sat in the chair, thinking, flabbergasted, angry, sadden about what happen to them. I can understand about what happen to Discord, but Pinky. I turn around to see Pinky waking up. I jumped out of the chair and ran up to her. "Come on Pinky, nice and slowly."
She began to whisper something, "Where am I, is the reception party over?"
My worries dampened, "Well the reception is postponed, but do you know how you got here?"
Her face turn into confusion, "Well, how do I know how I got here, if I don't know where I am, and if I don't know where I am, then how am I going to answer your question?"
My head hurts now, "I'm still wondering how you do that in less than one breath, but I'll tell you this. You're on my ship the Leviathan; now can you tell me how you got here?"
Her face shows me that she's on the right track now, "Oh, I remember now. Discord and I headed out early to get the stuff that must be kept fresh ready for the party. However, we ran into that creepy Alicorn that looks like you but a little darker on the skin and the cutie mark is different than yours in one detail. Your clock is a conductor's watch! He teleported us to the ship and knocked us both out and I remember him saying one last thing. 'Give my regards to the groom!' Good thing for me though is that I wasn't knocked out for long. When I woke up the first time around, those creepy changelings came back. The door was wide open and they started to creep towards Discord and I. I knew I had to do something so I got up and kicked the changelings out and slam the door shut. Then I lay against the wall and the next thing I knew, you we're standing right here. I'm so glad to see you Abram!"
Pinky was tearing up, who can say I can't blame her. She's a tough party pony, but one question lays on my mind. "What's a changeling Pinky?"
With Glee, she acted out what a changeling does and what they look like, "These creatures of darkness feed off the love and magic of others. Well… at least I think so, but they have the power to change into whatever creature they want to."
My heart tanked for a moment, "How do I know you're not a changeling Pinky!"
She gasped, "You might have a point there, there's no way you can tell the difference. Unless!"
I'm now frantic and shaking Pinky to Oblivion, "What Pinky, what!"
"They change back into their normal selves once their knocked out."
I stopped, and calm myself down, "Oh, that's good then, you're real Pinky."
Her face smile with glee, "I am the real me, but don't worry Abram, you did marry the real Twilight, just I don't know about the rest of our friends though."
Now I'm stuck wondering, are there any of those creatures on this ship? I'll need to get to my son, but I can't do it alone. "Pinky, I need your help with something?"
"What will it be Abram?"
"I need help to get to my son's room, I just need someone to watch my back."
"Not a problem Abram, let's go."
We headed out of the room and made our way to my son's quarters. His room is on the opposite side of the ship. A good three and a half mile hike, but the Leviathan has something to speed up our travel. "Pinky get in the tube cart!" We got in and took off to the opposite side of the ship. The tube is transparent and we can see everything. We passed through the ecology dome in the middle of the ship for food and oxygen production. Something was different, then something hit the tube.
A black and green creature looking at us. Then a swarm of them came charging at the tube. I increased the vacuum suction and got us out of there. We reached the opposite end of the ship and it looks like a war zone. "Umm, Pinky! Stay very close to me back turned, his room is right in front of us."
I knocked on the door, and Cloud's voice sounds frantic, "Whose there! Are you one of those creatures?"
I turn around and Pinky was panicking, "Abram, we got company!"
"Hang on Pinky!" Zap, and we ended up in Cloud's room without being stuck in a wall. Cloud flew backwards into a wall. "Cloud it's us, calm down."
"What are those things out there?"
"That my son, are changelings. They have the power to change into other people, we must keep our guard up!"
"How do you know whose real or not?"
"You knock them out!" WHAM!
I woke up to see my son staring at Pinky and I, "Well son, do you think we're real."
He began smiling at us, "I guess so, what's your plan Abram?"
I look to my right and Pinky was still knocked out. "We need to wait for Pinky to wake up before we can do anything. It's going to take all of us to get back to my room. Once there Discord will have the strength to wake up. Besides, how long I was knocked out."
"Only ten minutes father."
"Good, it won't be too late."
As soon as Pinky woke up, I picked her up and Cloud and I made a run for it. They were everywhere. Then came the section locks, "Cloud! The section locks are jammed, but I don't want to blast through them. I don't remember how thick they are either. So teleporting is out of the question. I'm guessing this is where the showdown is going to take place."
They both began looking at me with scared faces. Then I began charging up my horn, "Fug it, that lock is going to be busted."
The explosion blew the changelings three miles across the dome, killing most of them. "Let's go!" I wasn't fully sure that was a good idea at the time so we began running to my room and we ran right into Crystal.
"Hey guys, why you guys in a rush?"
I got no choice to see she's real or not, "forgive me Crystal, I'll explain later." POW!
She flew across the hallway and zap. "She's a changeling!" Where's the real Crystal then! Then we all heard a bunch of sword swings coming from down the hallway. Without even questioning the possibility we made a charge to the sound. It's the real Crystal, no changeling will attack their own kind like she does. "Here we come Crystal!"
I look towards my son, and we have the same idea. "Light them up son, our magic won't harm the real Crystal, just stay focus." Then beams of energy flew out of our horns. All hitting their mark like Twilight showed us to. Within a few seconds, Crystal turned around and ran towards us. "Abram, Cloud, and Pinky Pie, thank God you came; I thought I was done for back there."
I felt something running down my spine, it was a good feeling. Hope, but I since more to come. "Crystal, where's everybody else?"
She looked down, "I don't really know, I told them I'm going to make my last stand right here, one of them got pass me, but I think you guys took care of that…thing. If anywhere, it's the bridge."
"We don't have much time. You and Cloud must get to the bridge. I'll take Pinky Pie and get my uncle."
Crystal's look on her face understood the plan, but something was nagging her. "How did your uncle get on-board?"
"Crystal I got no time to explain! GO!"
They both took off towards the bridge, Pinky and I took a good long look at each other. "Let's do this!" My room is only a few hallways down from the bridge. Surprisingly Pinky kept up with me all the way to my room. I opened up my door and Discord is sitting on my cot. He looks up to see Pinky and I. His wounds are healing fairly well and limp his way to us. I ran to him and picked him up. "Uncle we got to head towards the bridge. It's our last hope!"
We exit the room to a crowd of changelings, I began asking myself, "How did these creatures get on board anyway?" Then one of the changelings were very different and came walking towards me. "Hello, I don't think I met you before. I can see your love is very strong to a particular pony, but wait! She's not here right now isn't she? To be honest, I found this thing were in quite…compact don't you say. Let my minions changed that real quickly."
Without any doubt, she doesn't know that were in space. Luckily my memory of the ship is catching up with me and I can try to teleport to the bridge with Pinky Pie and Discord. This can be disastrous if I lose focus. Whoosh! My face landed right next to the self-destruct button on the controls. I turn around and Pinky and Discord were safely in the seats of the copilot and navigator. To the right I saw the rest of my friends including my son Cloud. I turn back around to see the same planet that the Rainbow factory was on. "Guys, I don't have no choice but to scuttle the ship on the surface of this planet. Get ready for impact"
Ron's voice caught my attention. "Abram! Have you gone insane? You're going to get us all killed!"
"RON! I promise you this, you won't die. Just believe in me, that's all I ask."
The ship started to burn in the planet's atmosphere, the ground gotten closer and closer. Then I pulled up on the controls just before impact, so the ship will land belly first. Next came a loud screeching sound of clashing metal. The ship began falling apart, the bridge exploded and my friends were launched everywhere. Only Pinky Pie and Discord were with me when we hit the ground. Parts of the ship landed all around us, some of them began incasing me. The only thing to do now is sleep.
Twilight's voice woke me up. I'm still in the ship wreckage. I limbered my way out to see the fallout of what happened to the ship. I lay against my incasing, wondering where my friends are. Then a whole bunch of creatures began running around with guns. "That pony from the Rainbow Factory!" I'm in no condition to fight back. Any sudden moves can tear muscles off the bone, and the blood loss doesn't help much either. "Abram, so we meet again. I won't kill you, due to Cronos's orders, but we must fake your death to your friends. They picked me up and dragged me to my friends. When we got there, only Ron, Vince, Joseph, Crystal and Jane are here. Where's the other three.
They put in an explosive blood dart to simulate my head getting blown off I presume. With a little speech by the pony who took me hostage, I look back at my friends and an explosion knocked me smooth out. Though my hearing wasn't effected at all. I can hear them screaming, yelling angrily and escape pods launching back home; I think.
