Chapter Four: Introductions

Authors Note: It's amazing how much you can get done during a twenty hour drive, I wrote three chapters and fixed any mistakes in my old ones. Hope you enjoy them, also PM me if you find any spelling mistakes, it will be greatly appreciated. I would also like to acknowledge William Ice for being the first person to review now if only more of you would get some balls and review.

The first thing Dan noticed when he regained conciseness was that he was in a bed, he was comparing this bed to all the other beds he had slept in over the years of his life. This train of thought was interrupted when he remembered his battle with Alduin that caused him too lose consciousness. He then tried to sit up and was hit with a tsunami of pain causing him to emit a groan. When he was finally able to sit up he noticed he was in a small room that looked like a hospital room along with four other soldiers. He also noticed all of their amour and weapons were gone. He then proceeded to wake the others.

"Wake up, wake up. Get you ass moving we need to go now." whispered Dan.

"Uh… what's the rush sir. It's not like the camps is going anywhere" replied one of the soldiers.

"Yeh, but were not in the camp." This realization hit the soldier like a ton of bricks.

"Oh shit wake up, wake up. Get the fuck out of that bed, we need to move now" said the soldier.

"Not now sarge." "Five more minutes mom." "Fuck off and let me sleep."

"Get your lazy fucking asses out of those beds. Do any of you know where we are? Because if you haven't noticed we're in an unfamiliar place and we could be alone, unless I was dreaming when we were ambushed by Alduin." At that remark all three of the jumped out of their beds and readied themselves for battle. Despite being weapon less they all knew at least one destructive spell.

"Alright troops, as of right now it's just the five of us. Our first priority should be to get back to the ships, after we're there we can go look for other survivors."

They then started to move towards the door making as little noise as humanly possible, but stopped when they heard movement along with what appeared to be voices on the other side of the door. "Hide, now."

With Twilight and her friends at the same time Dan was waking up…

"So doctor, do you have any idea when they will wake up?" asked Twilight.

"No, we just have to wait. But with the injuries they received I wouldn't be surprised if they never woke up."

"But doc ya'll can do something right, you're a doctor" said Applejack.

"I'm sorry but there's nothing else we can do."

"Some doctor you are. What doctor can't help their patients?" The doctor was about to say something but was cut off by Rarity

"Shame on you Rainbow Dash, I'm sure the doctor did everything he could." Just as a fight between the two of them was about to start voices were heard from the room that Dan and his companions were in.

"Did you hear that it sound like one of them is up." said Twilight. Then another voice was heard. "Make that more than one." As they moved closer to the door they could hear five different voices.

"Let's go introduce ourselves girls. Then we could have a 'congratulations on waking up party'." said Pinkie Pie.

"Now hold on sugercube, we don't know how they'll react when they see us, we know nothin' about them."

"We have to go in girls. Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

When they opened the door the beds were empty and nopony was seen. "What! Where did they go there is only one way out of this room."

"Holy shit! Talking ponies!" This out burst caused the girls to look everywhere including at the ceiling where the soldiers were. They had cleverly hid in the rafters, the last place anybody or anypony would look, a trick Dan had learned from the Dark Brotherhood

"Thanks for giving away our position you dumbass."

"Sorry Sarge, but you can't tell me you're not freaked out by this… I mean talking ponies, it shouldn't be possible." They all jumped down to the floor to confront their 'captors'.

"I demand to know who you are and why we are here." Said Dan

"Demand, we saved your life if it wasn't for us you would have died out on that field. You should be thanking us." shouted Rainbow Dash.

"Forgive me, because our amour and weapons were gone I assumed that you were allied with our enemy. Since you saved us and haven't tried to kill us yet, perhaps we could have a civilized conversation?" said Dan

"So Rarity what was that you were saying about them being uncivilized because they were from the Everfree Forest." said Rainbow Dash trying not to laugh at Rarity's reaction.

"I… um… ah… I guess I jumped to a conclusion before meeting you as well."

"It's ok, can we go some where more private to talk. I don't want to say anything where unwanted ears could hear us."

"Sure but we'll have to wait until your wounds are healed."

"Sir, I believe I could help with that. I was my squad's mage. I know many spells including various healing spells."

"Do it, I hate being in hospitals" replied Dan. The mage cast the spell and almost instantly all of their wounds were healed.

"Wow, that was impressive partner." said Applejack.

"Ok let's go to the library, we can talk there and you can teach me that spell." said Twilight, who was shocked at how fast and powerful the spell was.

"Sure but first we want our amour, weapons and any other items we had or you were able to recover."

Twenty minutes and one letter to the princesses later…

"So you're a dragon? And you can send letters by breathing fire on them?" asked Dan, surprised that he could be near a dragon other than Paarthurnax with out it trying to kill him.

"Yeh, I don't understand why you can't understand that." said Spike who was annoyed that Dan had asked the same questions five times.

The rest of the soldiers and ponies sat in an awkward silence unsure how to break the ice. Then a knock at the door finally gave them a reason to talk. When Twilight opened the door Princess Celestia and Princess Luna walked in, the ponies bowed and the soldiers stood up, recognizing them as ponies of importance.

"Hello and welcome to Equestria, my name is Princess Celestia and this is my sister Princess Luna."

"My name is Daniel but you can call me Dan. These are my men. Since we were never properly addressed what are your names." said Dan, addressing Twilight and her friends along with his own men.

"My name is Twilight Sparkles and these are my friends. Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and my number one assistant Spike."

"My name is Matt but you can call me Sarge. I'm one of the greatest swordsmen in Tamriel. That pitiful excuse for a soldier over there is Geoff. He is one of the laziest soldiers it has been my misfortune of knowing,"

"Hey I'm not lazy, I just don't feel like doing work and most of my assignments sound like work." said Geoff.

"I'm Tom, I was the second best mage on this quest. If you need any type of spell preformed, come to me."

"My name is Jack and I'm the best archer in Skyrim. No one can defeat me in a fair competition."

"Now that we have introduced our selves, can you tell us what you are? What you are doing here? What happened in the field we found you in? And everything about your home?" asked Twilight.

"We can talk about that later but first we must know why you are here. Judging by the thing you have with you, you did not come with peaceful intentions. So again I ask, why are you here." said Luna

"I will tell you everything you want to know but first, were there any other survivors in that field?" asked Dan

"I'm afraid there were no other survivors there. I feel I should also inform you that those devices that were made of wood were destroyed and the other members of you species there were all dead."

"So let me get this straight. We are all that's left, everyone else is dead or lost and the ships have been destroyed. So now we're stuck here. I guess the best way to explain why we are here is to explain about our home land first."

Authors Note: I hope you enjoyed the Halo Wars and Red vs. Blue references, for those of you who don't know Geoff Ramsey dose the voice of Grif and Matt Hullum dose the voice of Sarge. Once again I'm sorry if I did Applejacks accent wrong. Please review.
