3 Days had passed on Equestria since the return of the members of the Skyrim expedition. Doctor Whooves had, like Luna Eclipse said from the future, in the main conference hall, where she was playing with the CMC's to try and cheer up Scootaloo.
Rainbow dash was pissed that she was grounded literally and proverbially in the medical wing of the SGE; though the constant Visitations by Spitfire, Emerald Fire and Arcanis made the stay more or less a bearable.
Dr Carson Beckett was also station in the SGE for the time being due to a mishap with the 'species former' that Rodney was 'trying' to fix. Rainbow remembers that moment quite clearly as she was surprised to see Arcanis getting a massive arse whooping a scientist that wouldn't fix the machine
Flashback – 2 days ago
"Umm, Arcanis, I still have wings" Sheppard stated as he walked out of the machine, still a Pegasus
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THIS THING" Arcanis shouted as he looked over the machine again. It wasn't working anymore and meant that Beckett, Sheppard and Carter we stuck as Pegasai for the time being. "Urgh, Alpha Centauri, contact the SGE and get Dr McKay here now"
Flashback - yesterday
"What do you mean, it's not working?" Rodney Asked as he looked over the machine "Seem to be working for me" he said pondering what to do about it "Try it again John"
"Urgh fine" John said walking into the machine only to have it fizzle out on him with a small pop "See"
"FINE ill take a closer look at this" He said walking up to the dais. What he wasn't seeing was the nod from both Carter and Arcanis for John to implement their plan "OW" he said as John bucked him into it. With a flash, Dr Rodney McKay realised that his human life was on hold until he fixed the machine.
"Now you are as cute as us Rodney" Beckett said walking up to the new stallion, John and Sam where holding in a laugh as Arcanis summoned up a mirror.
"What just happened?" he asked "And why do I have a sudden wave of vertigo?"
"Welcome to the heard" John mocked as Rodney tentatively looked down. He saw orange hooves instead of hands. It took a few seconds for it to click.
"ARGH!" he screamed bolting into a door and knocking himself out.
"Whoops" Arcanis muttered. The Earth pony that was once Dr McKay, was Orange coloured with black tail and mane.
End flashback
Rainbow Dash had spent yesterday with her hooves over her ears at the massive amounts of complaining that was coming from the other room that housed the new stallion.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of hoof steps. She looked at the door and say Emerald Fire standing there.
"How did it go?" she asked, Emerald Fire grinned
"Arcanis said I could stay here in Equestria" he said walking up to her "He said along the lines of 'bettering the Pegasus kind' or something like that" he sat next to Rainbow.
"Yeah, still can't feel my rear legs you know" she said. Emerald fire poked them to no response from rainbow "Though considering I can now freely move my fore-hooves that's a good sign"
"Very good sign too. Considering you were fully paralysed not 2 days ago" Emerald fire noted
"True" she said "Wish I wasn't though. I want to show you Equestria, the wonder bolts, Pinkies Cupcakes" Rainbow stated, Emerald nodded "Have you seen Scootaloo around?"
"I have a couple of Times. Harsh for her what she's been through"
"What do you mean?" rainbow asked.
"Wouldn't you if you found out that your future self sacrificed herself to save you" Emerald Fire stated
"WHAT!"
~0~0~
Arcanis switched the video off. Groaning, he changed the password to his PC again and put a magic requirement onto it. He recalled the last few days that had gone like a blur.
The Doctor had taken back Black and Silver to their world again, a simple but nice gesture to the avians. Arcanis admitted that perhaps there was more to the Equestrian Galaxy than first seems.
Rainbow Dash was recovering from the Paralysis of having her mind switched so quickly form one body to another
He looked at the strange mirror that Celestia Had given him for a gift. Her comments where
"If you're bored one time, try it out for shits and giggles" she had said to him, it was a Quantum mirror capable of transporting ponies or people to a different dimension. He was broken out by the stupor by a knock at the door.
"Arcanis?" Twilight said as she walked into the office with Harry by her side. Unlike Magrathia, Twilight had put on weight around the belly.
"Twilight, Harry, please have a seat. It would seem that you have put on weight Twilight" Arcanis said as she sat down.
"Yeah well" she looked at Harry and blushed.
"Congrats, I know you two are close" Arcanis stated "But I doubt this is a social call eh?"
"Unfortunately not, The Sindorai attack here on base has gotten Celestia in a massive mix-up. She is confused as to what to do" Twilight said as Rodney rushed past.
"Well perhaps but at least we don't need to worry about anything else" He said as all the lights went out and the castle lost power. "Goddamnit" Arcanis muttered "Come on, let's see what they are doing down there.
~0~0~
"RODNEY YOU MORON!" shouted a Pair of male voices as Arcanis, Twilight and Harry walked into the room. Standing there was a human john Sheppard and a Pegasus Sheppard
"Well that was unexpected. I thought that it would work" Rodney stated as the human Sheppard sat down next to his Pegasus counterpart "Not create a Clone of you"
"What in the name of all that is the Stargate is going on here?" Arcanis began
"Well Rodney and I have been looking at the reason why we haven't been able to turn back to humans. Well we recalibrated it but..." Carter said "...it kind of turned south"
"THERE IS TWO OF ME" Both Sheppard said in unison. Pegasus Sheppard groaned whilst the other simple sat there twiddling his thumbs.
"Anyway, apart from there being 2 Johns now, do you both have the same memories or not" Arcanis asked. They looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Well...that's the weird thing. Last this I remember is Carter becoming a Pegasus and bucking me into the machine there" Human Sheppard stated
"And I don't remember anything prior to 7 days ago" Pegasus Sheppard commented
"If I may interject" Twilight stated "Perhaps the change from human to Pegasus was remembered by the machine. You may have triggered the machine to create 2 results, one human, one pony, with the memories of those being human and those of the Pony but in two forms" she stated "I could perhaps help out with the re-configuring"
"Makes...sense in a weird way?" Rodney stated "Well two brains are better than one"
"Anyway, one problem at a time, Rodney DO not uses this machine again, clear. At least until I get back." Arcanis continued leaving the room with an equally confused Harry
"what the hay?"
~0~0~
As Arcanis entered his office a Familiar face was in the room.
"Sis, problems?" Arcanis stated, knowing full well it was Celestia.
"A few, but mostly how this...Sindorai managed to get into the SGEC" She said sipping from the tea cup she was drinking out of.
"Urgh, don't remind me. I know full well that occurred. Well it was a turn coated Sindorai that saved your niece though" Arcanis stated falling into the couch "the paper work for that is a bitch"
"Pardon?" Celestia stated "What is a Bitch"
"Female Dog; Humans use the term as a demeaning term for something that is a pain in the arse" Arcanis explained
"Ah, Human cuss words; they dear me sometimes" Celestia stated taking another sip "But that is against the point of the conversation. How can you stop it for the future?"
"If I knew that, then I could fix it. But alas I cannot" he stated as a familiar blue hoof rubbed his back "ooo..."
"Relax, only me" Luna stated continuing the massage to a cooing Arcanis "Good afternoon sis"
"Lulu, how are you going?"
"Very well considering that Eclipse is running about the castle making a mess" Luna stated "but apart from that, not bad. Arcanis as you may have noticed is stressed out" she said nibbling a feather on his stretched wing. He simply relaxed further into the couch.
There was a knock at the Door
"Sorry to interrupt your majesties but we have a problem at the adaptation machine"
"Great" Arcanis muttered getting up and following the guy
~0~0~
"Whats going on..." Arcanis began
Arcanis eye twitched uncontrollable at the sight before him. On one side stood the Humans that he had brought to Equestria, Carter, Sheppard, Beckett and McKay.
On the other side stood the Pegasai and pony forms of Carter, Sheppard Beckett and McKay.
Twilight stood over the machine looking at where it went wrong
" ...here" he stated
"Arcanis this was our Idea" both Carters stated
"Pardon?"
"Well, think of it this way, even though we are two different 'persons' now, technically they are new ponies that know about the SGE only. This way, we don't take that information to the wraith"
"Also technically we are all new ponies anyway with our own memories" Pega-Carter stated.
"To confusing for me. I'm sending the humans back to SGA and leaving it at that, I'll have Alpha Centauri dial the gate to Atlantis. The Ponies will report to my office now as they will need to go under different Alias here and deserve a new name as they are technically different people" Arcanis stated calmly "Oh and Twilight, Celestia is in my office at the moment. Perhaps you better give her the news"
Arcanis left with the Humans following and then the ponies after them
~0~0~
"So what exactly was on the USB scoots?" Rainbow asked Scootaloo who had come to visit her. She looked down as Emerald Fire walked in
"Basically why she did it" Scootaloo stated
"I can go one better and show you" Emerald Fire started pulling up the laptop and switching to 'Media Player'.
"Scoot's Remind me why ah'm taping this?" asked a Female voice, an older Apple Bloom.
"Cause if we don't know, I doubt those Sindorai will let us live long enough to explain this if it works" Cyber Scootaloo stated
"You already broke free from the re-programming once, what will happen if it flares up again?" a softly spoken voice asked
"No idea, but i need to record this so that if what the Sindorai say is true that they have a chance at winning this" Cyber scoot stated
"Okay then, Listen Up Me. From when you hear this, you may be asking the questions as to what the hell. Listen closely. The Quantum Mirror is how they got into the SGE the first place, but they converted the Princesses into their own and forced this upon us ponies. They used to the Princesses to rule over us and Get a foot hold in our Dimension. They are machines that take over everything and use us as conduits for their will. I don't know how to stop them but with enough warning you might"
"THEY"RE COMING" Scream Sweetie Belle
"Also look out for one called Silver Drill. He might not sound like pony you know, but beware of him" Cyber Scootaloo stated as her Cyber limb to remove the USB drive
The silence in the room after that was astounding. You could hear a pin drop. The Mares simply looked at each other as Rainbow simply hugged Scootaloo.
Emerald Fire closed the laptop and sat beside the two. He would do so to keep them both sane
~0~0~
Twilight, Harry, Arcanis as well as the 4 new additions to the SGE stood and waved off the Human members of the SGA. With a Shlorp-ing sound, the 4 disappeared to the event horizon and the gate shut its self down.
"Another Mission completed" Arcanis stated "right then, seeing as we haven't debriefed yet, Someone fetch Dash and we will begin in half an hour" Arcanis stated with a series of Groans coming from the gathered ponies
As Arcanis Entered his office 4 hours later, he sat on the couch and stared at the Quantum Mirror. Form what Rainbow Dash had said it was the source of the Sindorai, he decided that sleep was the better option so closed his eyes on the couch and began to snooze.
He was half asleep when there was an almighty crashing sound that came from the mirror and into his Desk. Opening his eyes he saw a large form crushing his table. A few Magenta Feathers fluttered around the form which had a pair of twitching wings and gray mane
"Well Fuck" it said in a distinctly Female English accent "That was unexpected. Well there goes my Desk" She stated getting up and dusting her dress that was a Luna blue with the gold trim.
Arcanis whistled as she spun around to see him standing there near the door.
"Well...Fuck" She muttered in ancient, Arcanis Smirked
"That's my desk you just destroyed you know" he stated getting up she flinched at the size, she was ahead shorter than him "And I'm assuming that you used the Quantum Mirror?"
"Umm...yeah" she said sheepishly "umm, I'll be leaving now" she said and turned to leave before being grabbed by a magenta Aura
"Once my desk is fixed then I'll let you go" Arcanis scolded as Luna walked in
"LULU!" the Mare shouted as Luna raised an eyebrow at the Mare that was crying "I saw them take you to be converted"
"Keh?" Luna asked looking at Arcanis "Who is this?"
"Parallel version of me I think" Arcanis stated "Who is going to return to her dimension now"
"No. Listen to me. Before you go, beware of the Sindorai and the 8 pointed STAR BEWARE THE 8 POINTED STAR!" she screamed as she was forced back through the Quantum mirror. Arcanis then proceeded to use magic to seal the Mirror in a Quantum state of flux; In other words sent it to the core of the Sun.
"If we need it then I will get it back, otherwise it can stay there" Arcanis stated Sighing he looked over to Luna who simply looked at him and Smiled.
"What did she mean by the 8 pointed Stars?" Luna Asked
"A Vague Idea to say the least, but i hope the Sindorai aren't with them"
"Who?" Luna asked as they nuzzled.
"The beings of Chaos...The Greater Daemons and the 4 Chaos Gods"
"What like discord?"
"No...Like Violence, Pleasure, Knowledge and Pestilence..." Arcanis stated "by they are form a Board game on earth...so it's not like they could exist?" he asked
"You are a great leader and very knowledgeable on this...whoever decides to come for Equestria, they will go through you first" Luna stated "I can make sure of it as they won't harm Our Ponies anymore"
"Hope your Right...I need some sleep" Arcanis stated leaving the now repaired desk and a file. It was for their new Recruits, the SGA Pegasai.
End – At least for now.
AN – Felt the end was rushed a bit, but sets it up for the last Book – Terraria
Teal'c voice - Next time on 'My Little Space Explorer'
"Move ya Flanks. We ain't got all day Tush" shouted a Gray armour clad Earth pony at a pair of similarly clad ponies. One had a white shoulder with a St Georges Cross in red on it, denoting medic, and the other had a green with 3 yellow Chevrons in a row on hers. He had half a leg missing and was not bleeding as profusely as he once been seconds ago.
"Now hold ya Horses, the Sergeant here isn't going nowhere you clout" Applejack shouted at the annoyed Lieutenant. Her Armour was a rich orange with a blue shoulder pad. Her armour was more reminiscent of the Space Marines of the ultra marines than the flack Armour the other ponies were wearing.
"You have no right to boss me around" He snarled back only to have a Hoof Slap him through a MDF boarded up house
"Ah can and Ah will; we wait till the Sergeant can move" She said putting her hoof down.
"Just cus you came through that damned Ring you get Special treatment" the Lieutenant stated
"No, it's Cause I know what Ah'm doing" Applejack Barked again.
She only hoped that the rest of her friends were holding up better than her and her Doomed Squad, a squad so lost in enemy territory that the Element of Honestly didn't know if it was nicer to lie to comfort them or not and break their moral.
