Chapter 3: A Machine that Gone Wrong
Still surprised in the medical bay, Sun and her friends can see the nine people in space suits along with more of the little green aliens. Sun and Wire Wolf remembers seeing five of their knows that she needs to remain calm about this. She feels that they know what has happened to them. The astronaut like beings are also looking at the kids. They can see that al thirteen of them are stunned to see them.
The red creature says, "Okay, this is a little awkward."
"Uh, agree," Twilight says with a nervous laugh.
Adagio says while rolling her eyes.
"This is not gettin' us anywhere for doin' the silent treatment," Applejack says.
Buzz steps forward, "Right. I know you all must be frightened and confused, but you're all in safe hands. I'm Buzz Lightyear, and they're my fellow Space Rangers."
"It's uh, very nice to meet you, Names Applejack. And these are all my friends. Applejack says.
She then points to each of her friends, "Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Sun, Pinkie, Adagio Dazzle and her sisters, Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk, Falling Star, Sombra, and Wire Wolf."
"Really, well you sure have a large group of friends," Buzz says.
"Of course, we're all best friends," Pinkie happily says.
"And each of us have our own history," Sonata says.
Arai rolls her eyes, "Sonata."
"It's very nice to meet you, so who are you friends or fellow rangers as you call it?" Sun asks.
"Oh right. These are my teammates, Mira Nova, Booster Munchapper, and the robot is XR," Buzz says.
"Woah! That is an interesting robot you have. What kind of circuits does he have?" Twilight asks in interest.
"I run on crystallic fusion and other strong circuits. But enough about that, how about you nice ladies talk about yourselves," The robot, XR answers.
The girls look at the robot with confused looks, when the red haired woman, Mira grabs him by the helmet.
"How about you don't try flirting with the girls while we're here," Mira says.
The girls then start to giggle.
A centaur like alien with one eye comes over, "Don't pay too much to XR. He's kind of like a ladies man. I'm Emily Speedstorm. These are my teammates, Conner Comet, Andy Star Show and Ty Parsec. The last is Commander Nebula, he runs all of Star Commands."
"Hello," the thirteen friends reply.
"And of course, we already met these cute little aliens," Sonata says, picking one of the aliens up and giving it a hug.
Fluttershy and Pinkie look with smiles to see the little aliens.
Sun turns to Buzz, "So um Buzz, the LGMs told us about a little incident that we have and told us that they were involved somehow."
"Yeah. what happened to us? One moment we were watching a comet, the next moment a vortex appear in the sky and sucked us all of. And then we woke up here," Falling Star asks.
"I have to agree, I think we deserve an explanation," Adagio says.
"That's what we're here for. Earlier today, the LGMs were test running a very special machine that can allow them to collect energy from stars, meteors and, comet," Buzz says.
"A machine that can gather energy! That sounds so exciting!" Twilight says with sparkle in her eyes.
"Twilight, let's him tell us what happen," Sun firmly says.
Twilight blushes, "Right."
"Anway, the experiment was going well until something caused it to go ballistic. The next moment it created a portal that is blasting leaves and fruit at us. The next moment, you all appear and crashed into the wall in the science lab," Nebula adds.
Aria looks at her wrapped right wrist, "That's how we got these injuries."
"You're right. We took a really hard hit to the wall and to the ground," Sombra says.
Sun asks, "What happened to the machine?"
"It blew up," XR says.
"It blew up?" Adagio asks.
"Yeah. It broke into pieces and most of the part are destroyed," Mira adds.
Rainbow asks in shock, "You mean we're stuck here?!"
"Pretty much," XR answers.
The girls and two boys are stunned to hear this. They walk among themselves as they are freaked out and scared to hear that they will be stuck here for who knows how long.
Sun calmly says, "Oh no."
"Now what do we do?" Applejack asks.
"Now calm down, the machine may be broken, but it's not impossible to rebuild it and get all of you kids home," Nebula says.
"You mean there is a way go get back?" Falling Star asks.
"But what are we going to do in the meantime?" Fluttershy shyly asks.
"You will stay in Star Command until the machine can be fix and your minor injuries are healed. Maybe you kids are willing to talk about yourselves. Like where are you from" Mira says.
The girls and two boys look at each other with concern and skeptic looks. They're not sure about sharing any information with them, especially ones they do not know.
Fluttershy shyly answers, "Um well, to be honest, we're mostly young high school students. We're nothing to special."
"Nothing special?" Sonata asks, looking confused.
"We're like totally special. We're…" Sonata begins to say, but Aria covers her mouth.
Aria rolls her eyes, "You have to excuse Sonata she's an idiot."
"You are!" Sonata says.
"Oh boy, they're arguing again," Falling Star says.
Sun calmly says, "Girls, I think we're getting a little bit off topic. I think that the girls are trying to say is that we're mostly high school students. I'm afraid that we never heard of Star Command before."
"She's right, we never been to this place before," Rainbow says.
"And we never heard of you guys before, "Aria adds.
"We just wanna go home," Fluttershy sadly says.
"Don't worry, we'll find a way to get you all home. But until then, you all will have to remain here and we can take care of you," Buzz says.
Sun smiles, and says, "Thanks."
"So what are we going to do in the meantime? You don't expect us to be stuck in this place all day?" Sombra questions.
"No. We can have all kinds of fun," Booster says with glee.
Pinkie happily says, "Booster, you're speaking my language. We can have a party."
"Yay!" Sonata cheers.
Pinkie, Sonata, and Booster begin to talk about the fun that they're going to have being here. Everyone else are looking at them with confused looks.
Ty sighs, "I think we gone way off topic."
"You can say that again," Mira replies.
"Hey Sun, how is your ankle feeling?" Wire Wolf asks.
Ty and Mira turn their heads to see Wire Wolf is sitting on the same bed as Sun. He looks down to see the bandage on Sun's ankle.
"I'm fine. It's just a small sprain. It doesn't hurt much," Sun answers.
"Hmm, it seems that those two are a little close. Don't you think?" Miara replies.
"Um yeah," Ty answers.
Ty looks at the two teens. He then notices Wire Wolf's appearance. There is something… familiar about him and the name is familiar to something he wishes he never wants to hear again.
"That boy… why does he seem so familiar to me? It's strange, I never met him before and yet, I feel a strange connection towards him," Ty says in thought.
Mira noises the confused expression of Ty's face. She can tell something's wrong with him, but doesn't know what. She looks to see Sun and Wire Wolf looking at her two friends talking to Booster. She wonders what is it about the two that Ty becomes interested in.
