Twilight Sparkle pov
I sat at one of the cafes in town enjoying lunch with Krista. Suddenly, her ears flew up and her head snapped toward the sky. I followed her gaze and smiled when I saw Rainbow dash had preformed another sonic rainboom. The sound of the boom hit Ponyville like a rumble of thunder. I looked at Krista and my smile vanished. She wasn't watching the growing rainbow like me and others. She was looking sadly at the food she hadn't touched. Her ears were flat on hr head. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked gently.
She shook her head "I don't feel well. I think I'll go lie down for a time." She said getting up and flying away toward the library. I was about to go after her when Ponyville got a surprise visit. Princess Luna got landed next to the café I was at and smiled at the happy people. "Princess, what brings you to town?" I asked smiling back. "Your letter, you said that Krista was acting odd so I came to see if all was well." I nodded and told her about the previous night and just now.
"She didn't even show a hint of excitement at the sonic rainboom. I only seemed to depress her." I said confused. Luna looked sadly at the ground "I told Tia to tell you about Krista's past, but she decided not to." She sighed "We found Krista at the edge of the everfree forest. She was scared and confused, but, more than anything, she wanted her older brother. She must have called to in her dreams for weeks after we found her. We searched high and low for anypony who fit what she described, but there was no one. Now, on clear night's, as you saw, she sings out to the stars to her brother and somepony always seems to respond."
I nodded "So, you think they are singing to each other?" I asked. She sighed "I'm not certain. She's been with us since before I was put in the moon. I'm sorry to say she is still skittish around me." I nodded again and looked toward the library when there was another bang. I, at first thought it was Rainbow again. But, then, Luna and others gasped and stared at the sky. I followed their gaze and gasped as well. Something was falling toward the town. I realized it was big enough to destroy it.
Krista pov
I groaned as a second bang filled the air and didn't bother to look up. Most likely the noisy rainbow again. Then, ponies started to gasped and scream trying to get away from something. Then, I felt it. Six powerful signals just like my own. My head snapped toward the sky again, my wings carrying me toward the signals.
A huge robot was crashing toward town. I flew faster and landed right in front of Twilight and Luna. "Get back!" I demanded and they ran away. I reached in deeper then I had in many years and cast out a shield over all of Ponyville. The robot landed on in gently and I lifted the shield to where it was in a standing position before releasing it and collapsing in pants.
I shakily got to my feet and walked to the foot of the two legged thing. I could still feel the power coming off it.
Luna pov
Krista walked up to the strange thing and stood at its foot. She looked up at the head like she knew it personally. She raised a hoof and placed it against the metal and it shifted to reveal a door. She took a deep breath and ran in. I gasped and went after her followed by Twilight.
The door snapped shut behind us and I looked a head to find Krista looking around as if for something. She looked like she was getting frustrate when she saw it. Six multicolored tubes standing proudly against a wall. She walked toward the orange one carefully and, taking another breath, stepped in. She was yanked up into the tube and away. I quickly ran over and was pulled in as well.
I tumbled out and right into Krista. She was standing in shock at the room we were in. In the center were six bubble chairs. Krista approached one and looked inside. I followed her example and found, in another chair, a handsome young pegasus stallion asleep inside. His dark red coat at first made me think he was bleeding. He bore a pair of wings of the same color. And on his flank was an odd symbol. Suddenly, Twilight let out a cry of panic and fear.
Krista and I whipped around to find another stallion, this on an alicorn, had trapped her under his hoofs. He had startling blue eyes and a bright silver coat. I reacted quickly and use my magic to teleport the young princess away from him and to my side. His eyes snapped to me and the two young ponies. "Do you always attack those attempting to help you?" I asked raising my wings protectively over my charges and preparing for another attack.
He looked at the shaking Twilight, then me, then Krista, who was surprisingly calm. They lingered on her before he relaxed and spoke in a deep voice. "Only if there is positional danger to my team." I raised an eyebrow "Danger? Equestria is in no new danger."
Chrio pov
I groaned and rubbed my head. I heard Antauri talking to someone, but the one he spoke to didn't have a voice I knew. "Antauri?" I muttered sitting up with another groan. I tried to up, but fell forward. I looked down at where my hands had been. In their place were hooves. I was covered a pure white fur. I looked up and saw three winged unicorns on one side of the room, and a silver one on the other looking ready to defend. I knew that this was Antauri by his power primate.
"Antauri, stand down." I ordered. Antauri looked at me and took a moment to realize that I was Chrio. He nodded and I spoke to the new comers. "Who are you? How did you get on here?" The midnight black one spoke as she tucked away her wings. "I am Princess Luna; this is Princess Twilight Sparkle, and Krista Star. We got in here by following Krista." She then looked to the youngest of the group and I recognized the little sister I never thought I'd see again. She looked over at me and before either of us could say anything the rest of the team awoke.
