Carter's head hurt as he came round. His eyes were still blurry as he opened them. As he blinked however, his vision began to clear and he caught his first look of a rather cozy room. It was a simple room with a large bed he now occupied and a bedside table. There was a small bookcase filled with albums. Some old. Some new. Pictures decorated the walls. All of them featured horses. It seemed as though whomever this bed belonged to really liked horses.

"Ahh!" Carter groaned as his headache spiked and he fell onto the bed, his eyes squeezed shut and he tried to massage his headache away.

"You okay?" A voice to his left asked. Carter recognized the voice as the one that belonged to the person who found him. Female with a sort of southern drawl.

"Uhh. I'm fine miss. My head just hurts." He answered the stranger.

"Do ya need anything?"

"Mmm. Right now I could really...?!" Carter paused as he finally got a good look at the 'girl' at his bedside. Only it wasn't a girl. It was a pony.

Carter sat up quickly, which only served to antagonize his splitting headache. He didn't notice. He was too focused on the impossible sight before him. Standing right next to the bed was a sort of tan-ish orange pony. Her mane was blonde in color and perched atop her head was a stetson. The pony cocked her head and stared at him with impossibly huge green eyes.

"You okay there fella?" She asked, confirming what Carter already suspected. "You look a little pale."

"You...and...ohhh.." Sudden darkness surrounded him as Sheriff Jack Carter then proceeded to faint, leaving Applejack to stare at the strangest lookin' creature she'd ever seen.

"Ummm. Fella?"

\\\\\\\====

"Good news!" Henry announced with a clap of his hands. "He's not dead or disintegrated."

Allison sighed with relief.

"How do you know?" Fargo asked.

"Well according to these readings, the teleporter worked for a split second, transporting Carter somewhere."

"So he's elsewhere?" Nathan asked.

"Exactly!"

"What's the bad news?" Allison asked.

Henry frowned as he scratched the back of his head. "Well, I'm not sure where he was sent."

"Shouldn't he have been sent to Global Dynamics?" Fargo asked as he pointed to the ruined device."Like what you were going to do with the apple?"

"Well yes, but as you may have noticed, there was a malfunction. As far as I can tell the teleporter received different coordinates, but they're too general and shattered to make any sense of."

"So you can't track him?" Jo summarized.

Henry nodded absent mindedly as he worked on his computer. "The signal I can track only goes halfway before it changes."

"The signal that interfered with yours." Allison guessed.

Henry nodded as he continued to work. "I don't understand. It came completely out of nowhere and suddenly it sort of crossed with my own signal. Bit the most peculiar part is that my signal seemed to draw power from it and vice versa."

"So both signals drew too much power from each other and exploded." Fargo summed up.

Jo nodded. "I go see if anyone's heard any explosions." She then paused as she walked out the door. "Yeah I know that's too general, but its all I got."

She then strolled out and climbed into the truck.

Allison sighed. "Zoe should be getting out of school now." She said. "I'd better pick her up and tell her about her dad."

"Great. I'll get back to GD. Fargo." With that Nathan, Allison and Fargo left, leaving Henry to his computer and his thoughts.

The sound of an ambulance ripped through the air, making Rarity almost rip her latest design. After calming her startled nerves, she went to investigate. Soon she found herself in front of the library where a crowd had already grown. Her stomach tying itself into knots, Rarity pushed through the crowd just in time to witness paramedics lift a familiar pony onto a gurney.

"TWILIGHT!?" She exclaimed as she pushed through the last of the ponies towards the gurney.

Her friend was in a horrible state. She was bleeding all over from several massive cuts, gashes lacerations and massive burns. And all of her legs were bent at odd angles. But the worst sight was her horn. Not only was it burned at the tip, but it also sported a massive crack vertically down the middle and other minor cracks. It made the fashionista's stomach churn the wounds she saw.

"Wha-wha-what happened?!" She asked with alarm.

"We're not sure." One paramedic answered as he fit a mask over Twilight's face. "The neighbors claim that there was a massive explosion and they found her like this."

They then pushed the gurney up into the ambulance where an IV was hooked up to her.

"W-will she be okay?" She whispered.

The paramedic paused a moment before closing the doors. "We'll know more after surgery." The door then slammed shut with a sort of finality and the ambulance drove away screeching and wailing.

Rarity slumped forward in shock. Around her it felt like the world had been wrapped in cotton. Nothing felt unreal. Like it wasn't there. She didn't even notice when the crowd moved forward to comfort her.

/

"Sorry again about earlier." Carter apologized for the tenth time in as little as five minutes.

"No worries." Applejack answered good naturedly as the Sheriff took a sip of water. In front of him, was the half eaten meal she'd given him. "Ya weren't feelin' well. There's nothing to forgive."

"Its just been a very long day for me." Carter explained.

"Ah can imagine."

"You have no idea." Carter took a bite of his sandwich. "Thanks again for helping me, by the way."

"Think nothin' of it mister...?"

"Uh Carter. Jack Carter."

Applejack made a funny face. "Strange name for a feller. Then again, you are a strange lookin' feller."

"Where I come from its quite common. Out of curiosity, where did you find me?"

"Well Ah was out doin' my chores when out of nowhere Ah hear this boom and see a flash of light in the the north orchard. So Ah go an' investigate and that's where Ah found. Took a while and Ah had to send for mah' brother, Big Mac, but Ah finally got you up to the house and into bed. Figured you could use some bed rest."

By the time Applejack finished her story, Carter finished his sandwich. He then put his tray on the bedside table and started to climb out of bed, noticing that his hostess was little more then half his size.

"Thanks for your hospitality miss Applejack, but I really should get going."

"Let me help you." Applejack offered. "Ah'm goin' into town in a few minutes. I got a friend there who could probably help you with yer situation."

"I really should get going." He then winced at a spike of pain in the side of his head.

"Yah need tah take it slowly. Come downstairs and meet mah family while I get ready."

With that Carter was led downstairs. In the kitchen Carter met Applejack's grandmother Granny Smith, an old green mare with a white mane.

In the living room, he then met her little sister, Applebloom. A little yellow filly with a red mane tyied up with a dark pink bow.

Next came Applejack's big brother Big Macintosh, a rather large red stallion with a straw yellow mane. After introductions Applejack and Big Mac led then led Carter down the road, Big Mac pulling a cart full of apples.

"Um Applejack was it?" Applejack nodded in answer to Carter's inquiry. "Out of curiosity, where are your parents? I've met you're grandma you're little sister and you're big brother, but not your parents. Are they out of town or something?"

All of a sudden a heavy and uncomfortable silence fell over the group. Finally Applejack spoke.

"Th-they ain't around anymore." Sheriff Carter heard a sort of choked tone like she was fighting back tears and immediately felt like kicking himself.

"I'm..sorry for bringing up a painful subject."

Applejack sniffed before turning to him, a cheery look on her face though the Sheriff could still see tears in the corner of one of her eyes.

"Its alright. There was no way ya could've known." She then turned round to face front before continuing a little quietly. "We don't' talk about it much."

A moment of uncomfortable silence pierced the air as they continued to walk.

"So, where are we going?" Carter asked in an attempt to break the uncomfortable silence. "You mentioned a town. What town is that?"

"Ponyville." Applejack answered quickly, relieved at a change in subject. "Its not very big or fancy, but its still a good place ta grow up."

"Sounds nice. Do things tend to blow up there too?"

"Pardon?"

"Oh well, where I come from, it seems almost as if there's some sort of life threatening crisis every week. Sometimes even world threatening."

Applejack laughed. "Well then, you must be one heck of a sheriff ta be able ta deal with all that."

"Yeah." Carter agreed half heartedly.

"Well, in answer to yer question, no things don't tend to go boom. Though we do get the odd problem. Like that Ursa minor that attacked. Or the parasprites that almost ate the whole town. And who could ever forget that time when the Everfree forest almost engulfed Ponyville."

"Great."

At Sheriff Carter's sarcastically exasperated answer both Big Mac and Applejack burst out laughing.

/

Alison parked her car in front of Tesla High. She gave a deep sigh and looked out the window. In front of the school, chatting with her friends she saw Zoe and wondered how she was going to tell the girl about her dad.

'May as well do it.' She thought with a sigh as she pushed the door open and walked up.

As she approached, Zoe noticed her and turned to her. "Hey Dr. Blake. What are you doing here?"

"Picking you up. S-something came up and your father isn't available."

"How like him." She sighed.

"Its not what you think." Alison said quickly.

Zoe looked at her quizzically.

"I'll explain later. Shall we go?"

"Um sure. Just, give me a minute. I left something in the classroom."

"We'll come!" One of Zoe's friends volunteered. The others spoke agreement.

Alison nodded. "Alright. Hurry up!" She called the last bit as the girls ran back into the school. She didn't notice the spark of white and magenta electricity that sparked as it made its way to the school.

/

"I can't believe him." Zoe fumed as she and her friends stormed into the empty classroom. "I thought we were past this. But I guess work still comes before his daughter."

"I'm sure that's not true." Megan comforted her.

"Yeah. Maybe he really can't come?" Julie suggested. "What if something happened? Mrs. Blake seemed really concerned."

Zoe's face turned from upset to concerned. "I hadn't thought of that." She sighed. "Come on, let's go."

As they filed out of the classroom however, the ground gave a jerk that threw Zoe back into the classroom and slammed the door shut. Alarmed, Megan reached to grab the knob then jerked back as her fingers brushed the metal. The three girls looked in alarm as tendrils of magenta and white electricity ran up and down the door and surrounding wall.

"Megan, Julie, Kate?" Zoe called from inside the classroom, fear and alarm in her voice. "Are you guys okay?!"

"We're fine." Kate answered. "Just don't try the door."

"Already got that message." She answered. "What's going on?"

"I don't know." Megan answered as the electricity intensified, spreading along the wall. "But whatever it is, it can't be good." She almost whimpered as she saw the electricity become a sort of wall that expanded, forcing them to flee.

/

Alison stood outside thinking about how to tell Zoe about her father when a jarring thud sounded through the air, knock several students off their feet and setting off a parking lot full of car alarms. As she steadied herself a scream called her attention back to the school. Turning towards the commotion, Alison's eyes widened at the sight before her.

There, sitting in a portion of the school was a large ball of white and magenta electrical light. For a moment she stood there stunned as she thought about where she last saw such a sight. When she saw how it was expanding, however, some part of her brain kicked her into action.

"Get away from it!" She screamed at the panicking crowds. Needless to say, she didn't need to repeat herself. The bubble then stopped before contracting on itself then vanishing, taking a chunk of the school with it.

For a moment Alison stood in silence as she tried to figure out what happened. Around her several others were trying to do the same. Some, in particular parents, were trying to locate loved ones. While a few were going into hysterics. In the middle of the chaos three girls ran up to her.

"Mrs. Blake we're so so sorry." A brunette huffed. Immediately Alison recognized the brunette as the one who'd volunteer to go with Zoe into the school minutes before. Now that she looked at the other girls, Alison saw that these other two girls had also gone into the school. Her stomach clenched when she saw that Zoe wasn't with them.

"Where's Zoe?" Alison asked, almost afraid to know.

"She-she was in there." A blonde answered, a little rattled.

"In where?" She suspected where they were talking about but almost didn't want to know.

"In the classroom when all the electricity started." The brunette answered. "She-she couldn't get out. And then the bubble started growing and we were forced to run. And then it was all gone."

Alison didn't hear anything else that Megan might've said. Instead she stood there. Stunned.

/

As soon as they entered town Big Mac and Applejack parted ways. Big Mac towards the market and Applejack more towards the center of town, Carter in tow. At first Carter was in shock by the inhabitants. The first thing that caught his eyes was all the colors. Unlike Applejack, who's body and mane had a more natural color, everyone else (or everypony else) had more bright colors. Blues, yellows, purples and pinks were all just a few of the color varieties that Carter saw.

The next thing he noticed was the wings. Several of these ponies not only had wings. They were also flying and even walking on the clouds. Like something out of a fairy tale. And it didn't stop there. The next thing that Carter noticed were the unicorns. Also in bright color, he saw the horned ponies levitate things as easily as a person picks things up.

So wrapped up in these details was he that Carter didn't notice when Applejack stopped till he tripped/ran into the mare.

"Well here we are." She announced with a grand gesture.

Carter then looked up at what Applejack was gesturing to. There in front of them was, for lack of a better word, a tree house. The 'building' was quite literally a tree. Furnished with windows, a balcony and a door decorated with a candle.

"Mah friend Twilight lives here at the local library. She's an egghead who loves books. She's also a personal student of Princess Celestia and is herself a princess. If anypony could help ya, she's the one." As she spoke Applejack pulled Carter to his feet and led to the door. After talking she then proceeded to knock.

No answer. Knocked once more and once more, no answer.

"She must be really into her studies." Applejack finally said. "Sometimes she gets so into her studies that hardly anything can get her attention. One time when Spike told her that he was going to serve me for his whole life, long story, she didn't even notice cuz she was so absorbed in her studies."

"So what do we do now?"

Applejack reached to the door once more and proceeded to open it.

"Isn't that breaking and entering?" Carter asked she pushed the door open. Applejack gave her a curious stare.

"Breakin' an what?"

They both stared at each other, Carter with a combination look of surprise, disbelief, wonderment and some more similar expressions. Applejack just had a look of blatant curiosity that Carter had to admit was absolutely adorable.

"It nothing." Carter finally, deciding to not pursue the subject.

Applejack gave him another funny look before pushing the door all the way open.

"Twi!" She called As she opened the door. "Twi! I brought somebody who needs yer he...?!"

Once the door opened all the way the two stared in shock at the scene before them, Applejack cutting off her own sentence. The room was a mess. Books were all over the floor, some burned or smoking. But that was nothing compared to the center of the destruction. Right there. In the center of the room was a foot deep black crater edged with burn marks that spread like a starburst.

Carter was the first to recover from his shock. Moving past Applejack he entered the room, bowing slightly to avoid hitting his head on the doorframe. He then crouched in front of the crater as he examined it.

"Applejack." Carter's voice pulled Applejack from her shock. "What could make something like this?"

"Not many things." She said uneasily. "Tha' one thing Ah could think of is a magic explosion."

Carter bowed his head as he gathered himself before continuing sarcastically to himself. "Magic. Of course. Why not."

"M-mister Carter." The unease in her voice made Carter turn to see Applejack trembling uncontrollably. The fear evident her her eyes. "M-mah friend is ah magic student. An' this is her home. If..if..if' something happened here, w-what happened ta..."

Applejack didn't finish the sentence. Instead she put her hoof to her muzzle and looked to the side as she tried and failed to fight the tears that streamed down her face. It was at moment that Sheriff Jack Cater saw more then a kind pony. He saw a good friend afraid for another friend. What ever the species difference, the pony was as human, if not more then some, then a human. In an instant Carter rushed forward and threw his arms around Applejack's neck, much to her surprise.

"I'm sure she's okay." He said. "Remember, she's surrounded by great friends and ponies."

Applejack's surprised look melted and was quickly replaced by a smile. "Thanks Sheriff." She whispered. "That means a lot to me."

For a minute they sat there much to the awkwardness of passerby. After a minute or two, Carter finally pulled himself off the mare just as she wiped her tears.

"You good?" Applejack nodded at his question. "Alright then. Why don't we ask around? I mean, somebo.. I mean somepony must've heard or seen something."

Applejack nodded. "Yer right." She then marched up to the nearest pony, a white unicorn with a pink mane, and tapped on her shoulder.

"Pardon me." She said as the unicorn turned to face her. "But Ah was wondering if ya knew about the alicorn who lives in tha' library."

The unicorn nodded. "Yes I know her." She answered.

"Can you tell us what happened to her?" Carter asked this time.

The unicorn nodded again, a little sadly. "Earlier today there was a massive explosion at the library." She explained. "Out of concern I and some other neighbors went to investigate. When we knocked down the door the library had been destroyed and Twilight was badly injured. What could we do but call an ambulance?"

"Thank you. Thank you so much ma'am." With that Applejack took off down the street, Carter at her heels.

/

Cheerilee sat at her desk in the Ponyville schoolhouse. Scattered across her desk were various reports and finished homework that her students had turned in that day. This was always the best part of her day. What could be more therapeutic then an afternoon in a quiet schoolhouse enjoying her students reports. As much as she loved her students even Cheerilee had moments when she just wanted to escape it all and relax.

'So relaxing.' She thought to herself as she took a sip of cider. She then picked up one of her students reports. 'Apple Farming by Applebloom Apple.'

'This seems interesting.' She thought as she opened it.

Halfway through however, a dull thud sounded throughout the air. The ground shook in response to this strange sound, knocking over various chairs and desks, throwing Cheerilee out of her seat and scattering her papers. As she pulled herself from the ground, a crackling sound registered in her ear. Looking up she saw arcs of magenta and white electricity running up and down the walls. And then, out of nowhere Cheerilee saw something massive began to materialize in the middle of the room.

At that moment her brain kicked into action and she plowed through the massive thing in the middle of the room while it was still intangible and looked like water. She threw herself at the door, even as the electricity stung her body. She managed to push open the door and tumble outside. She looked in shock as the strange thing solidified and the electricity ceased to pulse across the red building.

/

Upon arriving at the hospital, Applejack walked up to the receptionist and asked for a Twilight Sparkle. After being pointed in the right direction, Applejack and Carter made their way to the room. Upon entering the room, Carter saw that it was already crowded with other ponies. As Applejack spoke with her friends, Carter turned his attention to a stallion in a white coat who stood apart from the group studying a chart.

"You the doctor?" At Carter's question the stallion turned to the strange creature with a quirked eyebrow.

"Yes. I am." He answered, returning to his chart.

"Good. So what's the damage doc?"

The doctor paused before answering. "For the most part there were cuts and scrapes along with various third to first degree magic burns. All of her legs are broken and both wings are fractured in various places. Those should heal soon enough. What we were most concerned about was her horn."

"Horn?" Carter asked.

The doctor bit his lip. "Uh, how to explain this. Well for unicorns, such as myself, a horn is so much more then just a part of your body. Its like a part of our being. Horn breaks are more or less common in unicorn workers and advanced magic students. If a horn were to shatter or break off, often there's nothing any pony can do. In particular when it shatters. If a horn were to snap in half, if we're quick enough it'd be a simple matter to graft it back on. If a horn can't be restored however, the affected unicorn may have to deal with a loss or reduction in ability.

"Fortunately, Ms. Sparkle won't have to deal with those problems. Her horn received a large fracture along with several hairline fractures. A simple enough fix. She will of course need time to heal and then there's magic therapy to help her recover, but within a month or two, she'll be good as new."

Carter nodded. "Thanks." He then felt a tug at his shirt and looked down into Applejack's massive green eyes.

"Ah'd like yah ta come meet mah friends." She then led Carter to the group.

"These are mah friends, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and you've already guessed who Twilight is."

As she spoke each ponies name she pointed to the corresponding pony starting with a bright pink pony with poofy hair. Then a cyan pegasus with a rainbow colored mane. Followed by a butter yellow pegasus with a soft pink mane hiding under the hospital bed. Then a white unicorn with a styled purple mane. And ending with the pony in the bed.

Even though she was covered head to hoof in casts and bandages, Carter could still see her purple coat. Her legs were in casts and elevated much like a person. On her head there was a horn wrapped in a cast and bandages wrapped around her head. In her nostrils was a tube and to one side of the bed was a heart monitor. To the other side an IV.

As he stood there, Carter could tell that the five friends were very concerned for their sixth friend. Fluttershy was hiding under the bed. Pinkie Pie was very antsy. Rarity couldn't stop fiddling with her mane. Applejack trotted up and down the hall. And Rainbow Dash was fiddling with the remote for the TV, constantly flipping channels.

"Um the Doctor says she'll be fine." He announced, bringing everypony's attention to him. "She just needs time to heal."

Everypony relaxed noticeably. Pinkie Pie relaxed. Fluttershy climbed out from under the bed. Rarity left her mane alone and left to get drinks for every pony. Applejack stopped trotting up and down. And Rainbow Dash finally settled on the Wonderbolts channel.

As he stood there Carter felt a touch on his leg. Turning he found himself once again staring into Applejack's eyes shining with relief and gratitude.

"Thanks fer that."

Carter shrugged. "I just asked the doctor. Nothing special."

Applejack shook her head. "It was special to us. We've been just been for worried we didn't think ta ask the doctor. Ah don't think we even noticed him."

"Its alright. I know I would be just as worried if someone I cared about was in the same position."

Applejack nodded. "Ah hear ya."

All of a sudden they heard a commotion outside of the door. Curious Carter walked to the door and opened it. Outside the door, the hall was filled with ponies running up and down the hall in a mad, bordering on panic, frenzy. In the middle of the mayhem Carter spotted a familiar white and purple unicorn toting a full plastic bag trying to push her way towards the room. On instinct Carter stepped halfway into the crowd and managed to grab Rarity's hoof and yank her into the room, slamming the door behind them.

"Goodness. Thank you." Rarity said, straightening her mane as she pulled herself up.

"Don't mention it." Carter sighed as he brushed himself off before turning his eyes to the door. "Where'd that crowd come from anyways? It was her when we arrived."

"It wasn't there when I left either." Rarity commented as she gathered and passed out the drinks she'd obtained. "There I was coming back with our drinks, when all of a sudden everypony's acting like the buildings on fire. Only worse. I asked what was going on and all I got was 'something happened at the schoolhouse'. Nopony would tell me what happened, though I would imagine its pretty big to get ponies so riled. Here darling. I didn't know what to get you so I chose at random."

Carter just stood there as the unicorn levitated a can of cider into his hand. In his mind gears were turning. Turning he gave his drink back to Rarity.

"Thanks for helping me Applejack. Now if you'll excuse me, there's something I've got to see." As he spoke he grabbed his jacket and walked to the door.

"Where ya going?" Applejack asked concerned.

Carter opened the door as he answered. "The schoolhouse."

With that he waded into the crowd, slamming the door behind him.

/

It took a full hour of wading through panicked pony after panicked pony, but he finally made it out the door. As he ran a swoosh called his attention to the sky above him. There, flying alongside him was a cyan blue pegasus with a rainbow colored mane.

"Rainbow Dash?" Carter called to the mare.

The pegasus puffed out her chest. "Yep." She answered.

"What are you doing here?"

"What else do you think I'm doing?" She answered cockily. "I can't just leave my friends hanging."

"Sorry Ms. Dash. But this might be dangerous."

"All the more reason to not leave you alone."

Carter turned towards the speaker to come face to face with Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie. Carter stopped and the others stopped as well.

"What are are you girls doing?" He asked.

Applejack shrugged. "Its jus like Rainbow said. We ain't leavin' you alone."

They all nodded in agreement.

"Oh and don't call me Ms. Dash. That's not a sure name. You can, however call me Rainbow, Rainbow Dash or the Great Rainbow Dash." Rarity and Applejack stared at her. Rainbow shrugged. "What? Too Trixie?"

"Please, go back to Twilight. This could be very dangerous."

They all shook their heads simultaneously. "Just like I said, if there's danger we aren't going to let you leap headfirst into the fire with us around to help. And don't worry about Twilight. Fluttershy is taking good care of her." Rarity trotted forward as she spoke, the others following.

"Besides, how'd you expect you'd find the schoolhouse." Carter winced at Applejack's question.

Carter had to admit though that at this point he was winging it and planned on figuring out the way to the schoolhouse. Maybe ask for directions. In defeat the deputy raised his hands.

"Okay. You win. Let's go." With that they lead him to the schoolhouse.

/

A large crowd was congregating around the schoolhouse as the group approached. Among the crowd was a dark purple pink pony with a light pink and white striped mane wrapped in a blanket as a medical pony looked her over.

"That's Miss Cheerilee." Applejack exclaimed as they approached the mare.

"Oh hello Applejack." The mare waved to them as they approached.

"Miss Cheerilee, are you alright?" Rarity asked.

"Yes. The medical ponies looked me over. As far as they can tell I've only got a few cuts and scrapes."

"What happened?" Carter asked.

"I'm not sure exactly. I was just relaxing and reading some essays when there was a huge thump and then there was this magenta and white electricity. All of a sudden it appeared. Not surt what it is, but I rushed out of there before it could fully form. And here we are. Good thing school end an hour or so ago. I'm not sure what would've happened if there were students."

"Ah agree." Applejack, relief spreading through her as thanked Celestia that her sister wasn't in the building.

Carter however, looked thoughtful as he thought over what the pony had said.

'Purple and white.' He thought as he remembered back to the explosion at Henry's. That magenta and white light.

"Mister Carter?" Applejack tried to get his attention. "Y'all okay?"

Carter didn't answer. Instead he turned and pushed through the crowd towards the schoolhouse. With a shrug, Applejack and the others followed. After much pushing and wading, Carter finally got to the front of the crowd and a good look of the schoolhouse. The schoolhouse was bright red and looked very much like an old fashioned schoolhouse you might see in historical videos. What was different however, was the second building jutting out.

It looked much like a rectangle and was white. At one end was what looked like a clean circular cut right through the building. It was almost like some giant cut off a chunk of building with a circular blade then decided to shunt it into the schoolhouse.

To the ponies, it was unrecognizable. But for a certain Sheriff, it was very familiar. There, jutting into the Ponyville schoolhouse like a spear was a chunk of Tesla High. Zoe's school.

Then Carter felt like a part of his heart froze before sinking into his stomach.

'Zoe.' He thought. And without a second thought he rushed forward, towards the school.
