Chapter 3: The Dimensional Flux Arc

Within a few hours of the plans being finalised, Twilight and the others travelled up to Canterlot to see the finished device. At the doors to the Canterlot laboratories, they were greeted by a group of scientists who led them through the labs until they reached a massive room. In the middle of the room stood an odd looking contraption that immediately made the group intrigued.

The contraption was split up into five parts. The first part was essentially a giant row of treadmills. The treadmills were then in a giant glass bubble, which was attached to a generator by a giant funnel at the top. The second part looked like a giant wind tunnel. This was also inside a giant glass bubble and attached to the generator by a giant funnel. The third part looked like a giant propellor, attached to an extendable pole, sticking out of the generator. The Fourth part looked like a miniature lightning rod, sticking out of the front of the generator. All of this was connected to the fifth part: a giant metal gateway.

"Two question," said Price. "Firstly, what is that?"

"That is the Dimensional Flux Arc." The scientist told him. "And hopefully, it should be able to get you and your comrades back to your world."

"Okay and secondly, how does it work?"

"It's actually very simple. We recently discovered that, in this world at least, that there are dimensional portals all around us. Even in the air, there are infinitely tiny dimensional portals. The obvious problem is that they're too small to fit anything through. However, we've worked out that if we harness the power of magic, burnt energy, electrical brainwaves, body heat, the elements of harmony and a sonic rainboom, we should be able to generate enough power to enlarge one of the portals and make it big enough to allow you four to fit through it."

The group spent a minute in silence, taking in all the information.

"That sound incredibly dangerous and crazy." Soap eventually decided. "I like it".

At this point, the other ponies entered the room, led by the two princesses.

"Is everything ready?" asked Princess Celestia.

"It is indeed, your majesty." answered the scientist.

"Lets not waste any time then, lets get this show on the road." Declared Princess Luna.

So with that, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo (because she wasn't strong enough to fly), Big Mac, Soap, Price, Roach and Ghost had sensor nodes attached to them. They then entered the first glass bubble and stood on the treadmills, ready. Rainbow Dash had taken the liberty of inviting current and former wonderbolts to the occasion, so they joined Fluttershy in the wind tunnel, all covered in sensor nodes. As the roof opened and the fan extended, Rainbow Dash flew out and headed for the furthest point in Equestria. She'd been fitted with a special communications device, so that the scientists could tell her when to start flying towards the fan. Rarity, Twilight and the two Princesses then surrounded the lightning rod, also covered in sensor nodes. The princesses had also taken the liberty of inviting various top-class wizards, including the direct descendant of Starswirl the Bearded. The Mane 6 also had the elements of harmony equipped.

"Okay everyone", the scientist called out. "We're looking for at least 12 ultrawatts of power to be able to pull this off. So, are you ready?"

"READY!" Came the eager reply.

"Let's do this thing." The scientist said as he started up the contraption.

As the scientist flipped one of the switches on the machine, the treadmills started moving at a slow pace, allowing the earth ponies and the humans to keep up at a slow walking/trotting pace. When the scientist flipped another switch, the wind tunnel turbine started up, producing the equivalent of light breeze, allowing the pegasi to keep up at a slow pace.

0.0000001 ultrawatts, the generator read.

The scientist then signalled for Rarity to start using her magic. As she started to project her magic at the lightning rod, the power reading shot up.

0.295 ultrawatts.

At this point, the treadmills picked up more speed, causing the earth ponies and the humans to break into a light jog. This also cause the wind tunnel to produce the equivalent of a stiff autumn breeze, causing the pegasi to flap faster.

Twilight then started to send her magic at the lightning rod, causing the readings to jump up again, this time even higher.

1.364 ultrawatts.

At this point, lightning started to course through the metal archway. Twilight could just start to make out a tiny portal, no bigger than the point of a needle.

The treadmills picked up even more speed, forcing the earth ponies and the humans to break into a run. The wind tunnel also started to produce winds equivalent to a tropical storm (between 39 and 73 mph), forcing the pegasi to pick up even more speed.

At this point, the scientist told Rainbow Dash, via her communicator, to start flying past the fan. He then signalled Princess Luna, Princes Celestia and the other unicorns to start beaming their magic at the lightning rod. As they started doing this, Rainbow Dash came rushing past the fan, releasing a sonic rainboom, causing it to spin rapidly.

8.639 ultrawatts.

Now, the treadmills were going at full speed, forcing the earth ponies to break into a high-speed gallop. The four humans were also forced to start sprinting. The wind tunnel also started to produce the equivalent of a Type 3 hurricane (111-129mph). The portal had now rapidly multiplied in size, but was still not big enough to allow the humans to pass through.

As Rainbow Dash re-entered the room, the scientist finally signalled the mane 6 to start using the elements of harmony. Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash all focused their minds. Beams of light then came shooting out of the elements, striking the lightning rod, causing the power to jump up one more time.

19.541 ultrawatts.

At this point, the portal was filling the entire archway. The earth ponies, pegasi and humans exited the glass bubbles, completely worn out and close to passing out. They stood before the portal, gazing into the vast blackness that was inside. Then, an image slowly faded into view. The humans immediately recognised it: their base.

The four then turned around to face the ponies.

"Do you really have to go so soon?" Asked Twilight.

"We'd love to hang around, but we've got a mission to pull off", Soap Replied.

"Thank you for everything". Captain Price added.

The four of them saluted.

"Farewell warriors", Princess Celestia said proudly. "We wish you good luck on your missions".

"Yeah. Farewell," replied Roach.

Soap, Roach, Ghost and Price then turned around and stepped through the portal...


Author Note: Firstly, This isn't the end of the story. In fact, this is only the halfway point. There will be a more parts to the story, once I've finished them. I've also decided to nickname the second half of the story "My Little Pony: Friendship is Warfare: the Kingfish saga", which will take place during Modern Warfare 3/between seasons 2 & 3. I'd also like to give a big shout-out to Robert Park for suggesting the ideas that I'm going to use (thanks, mate).

Secondly, sorry if this took a longer time than usual to be uploaded. I had started work on it, but my computer decided to annoy me and break.

Finally, thank you for sticking with the story so far.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the story when the come out.

Sincerely,

I'machair5050
