Adam's POV
I was in the void for who knows how long . It was then that suddenly a portal of white opened , like I could care where it was leading . Of course I fell , weird I saw … stars , no blue sky , no grass hardly much .
Now this can't be right I'm on the moon ? How weird , never mind that I wanna know who in the world brought me here . I barely awoke and saw several ponies standing around looking at me with curious expressions .
I rose an eyebrow at this , completely confused at what is going on . "Okay this can't be a dream else i'd be back on Earth and I'd wake up , doubt it's any form of hallucination or anything of that sort" I muttered . "Ah I have the answer , it's all real and somehow someone brought me here for some kind of reason" .
I saw a blue alicorn with a starry flowing mane walk into my room where I am currently resting due whatever injuries that I might have sustained . "I brought you here for a reason , we need your help to win this war" she said .
"Uh just who are all of you?" I asked . "I am Princess Luna of the New Lunar Republic" said Luna . "I'm Rainbow Dash , Captain of the Lunar Airforce and of the Shadowbolts" said Dash proudly .
"Names Applejack Ah command the lunar ground forces" said Applejack sticking out her hoof . Taking my chance I shook it with such ferocity that it made her jerk it back leaving it wobbling . "Oops guess I don't know my own strength" I apologized .
"that darling is , Fluttershy as she runs the some of the hospital, my name is Rarity as I run the spy division" said Rarity .
"I'm Pinkie Pie , I run Research and Development , and I throw parties" said Pinkie happily . I looked around for Twilight Sparkle but I didn't see her . "weird" I murmured . "What is it ?" asked Rainbow . "Uh question: where is Twilight ?" I asked .
All I saw or heard in this was silence. "Oh don't tell me , she didn't stick with you guys?" . They all nodded there heads , Rainbow Dash however was still very bitter toward the purple alicorn for what she did that day .
"Look you just got here , so you may not understand what happenns here , yes Twilight betrayed us for power it was like she forgotten what had we all been through , stopping Nightmare Moon, sealing Discord back into stone , and beating off Chrysalis we did all of that as 'friends' and she turns her back on all of that" said Rainbow angirly nearly crying.
"Look I didn't know" I stated . "Sorry it's just it's still hard on us you know" said Rainbow tears ready to pour out of her magenta eyes .
At first I didn't know what to do then it hit me . In one motion at least something was kicking in dulling the pain . I grabbed the rainbow pegasus and hugged the stuffing out of her .
At that point she cried , I mean these five lost there very best friend to power and a tyrant ruler . Thankfully my knowledge on games should help at least somewhat I thought as I kept hugging Rainbow . I was able to put my fingers under chin to get her to look at me .
"Look I may not understand that all five of you loosing your friend like that , thing is Luna brought me here to help her with this war , and I plan to , so if you ever wanna get something off your chest just talk to me . I'll listen" I said .
"Oh and I'm Adam , and yes before you all ask what I am , I'm a human" .
That was all the explanation they needed , but knowing Rainbow she had to pull that 'Are you a Spy' question from Season 1 . "tell me this , Adam , Are you a Spy?" asked Rainbow . This is it .
"But of course" I said in a french accent. "Nah I fooled ya" I said with a grin . Rainbow looked like she wanted to hit me but started to giggle at what had just happened .
As for the other girls they were able to sniffle a giggle , same with Luna . As for the room it's self , its your basic hospital room , ya know bed , and a boring bland room .
Talk about boring Oi. "Uh where are my clothes?" I asked . "Oh the doctors were able to wash them when you arrived here" said Luna . That makes sense.
"I see well once i'm a healed up , I think i'll take up the role as commander of the lunar navy , someone has to" I volunteered. "That's great ! , as for the rank , your promoted to Captain" added Luna . I couldn't help but smile at that me a captain .
However I later told her that I wanted to apply for the lunar space navy. Luna told me that it was acceptable but I would also have control over ocean navy that would soon be built. Once we find some land to get a couple of basses up and running .
One Week Later
Location : Moon City Hospital
Adam's POV
I was soon discharged from the hospital with a friendly wave from Fluttershy .
Well after I was dressed in my own black jeans with a random black T shirt , both my black pocket knife and key ring clipped on my jeans as well , my wallet in my pocket .
But looking at the city from where I am currently , it was amazing , the oxygen was breathable and the gravity is similar so if I jumped then I would land back on the ground .
I soon decided to head over toward the Moon City Boutique figuring I would meet the rest of the crew and get fitted for my uniform thanks to Rarity .
"Ah glad you could make it , please step on the stool please" instructed Rarity . Doing as I was told she took several measurments with a measuring tape using … is that magic? Well give me a shotgun and call me master chief . "hold the TARDIS phone , you using magic to do something like that?" I asked .
"Why yes , I am a unicorn its like you never seen magic before" said Rarity while she worked . "Well uh don't think I have , I always thought that it was a locked away power source , just how is it that you ponies can tap into such a source of power?" I asked .
"Well I don't know , but I do know a unicorn that can answer such a question his name is Dusk Shine he has an assistant name Barbra" said Rarity .
I nodded making a mental note that I should visit him later . After measurements I was shooed out the door since she needed to 'focus' or 'get in the zone' as it were .
Can't really fault her for something like that . After hours of walking I found the Moon City Library and it looked to be modeled after the Ponyville Library in Equestria . I knocked on the door like any guy would . "It's Open !" shouted a female voice .
I walked inside and saw a baby dragon no make that two baby dragons helping organize the library. I soon later saw a unicorn , while I wasn't much surprised I noticed that he had the same color mane and tail color and even cutie mark as Twilight Sparkle.
"Hello my name is Dusk Shine and these are my assistants Spike and Barbra" said Dusk Shine . "Nice to meet you , Names Adam" I said introducing myself .
"I suppose Rarity sent you here for a reason" said Dusk Shine . "yea question how is that unicorns can tap into this magic I know for humans it's a locked away power source" I stated .
Other than that , Dusk Shine seemed to enjoy what I was saying , both Barbra and Spike took a liking to me .
But I did see that fear in his eyes , fear that he would be either abandoned or disowned like he was . I simply knew that this was going to be my life here on the moon , and quite oddly I didn't mind one bit .
Both me and Dusk Shine got to talking about what happened , not even he knew that his own cousin Twilight would betray her own friends like that , to easily say that there not friends really hurt them . It tour Rainbow in two , and made Pinkie cry her eyes out .
But to top that , she even disowned Spike , poor guy . Don't worry , we are going to end this war one way or another I thought . I was later given a home here in Moon City . After my talk with Dusk Shine I headed for my own home .
It was a simple human home complete with a TV , computer and a few things that they have knowledge of . Well at least they got a few things right .
Other than that I liked it , I headed upstairs and saw a normal sized bed , taking off my shoes I got a fresh change of clothes and headed right for the shower .
During said shower , I thought over a few things like how things were going to turn out for me , like how I was going to help Rainbow in these trying times . Same with Pinkie pie heck with all five of these ponies Spike included .
How Could Twilight do that?! , to simply betray her friends like that for what ? Power ?! , that's madness I don't care what reason she has if I have to i'm going to get answers from somepony or somedragon who might know a bit more than I do at the moment . I could feel the anger flow through me like water . Or I could sleep on it and maybe try to get answers later on I thought further .
I soon got changed into my night clothes and decided to just hit the hay sack . Of course someone had to do something to get me to come downstairs and open the door . It was Rainbow Dash , and it looked like she was crying again .
"Alright come on in" I said she quickly came in and , well what happened next was she flew right up stairs before I even had a chance to utter a few words .
By the time I came upstairs she , well wanted to do something , and NO it wasn't sex . She really needed someone and by the looks of it I was that someone . I got back under the covers and Rainbow threw her front hooves around me and snuggled as if she were alone .
This is odd , oh yea Twilight that …. bitch , well at least Rainbow feels , happy … somewhat . Poor mare she lost a friend that she was so loyal too , and right there , she was no longer friends with her five friends … Powerit all clicks , she betrayed her friends for power and side with her teacher … whoever it maybe . Don't worry RD , I'm right here for you , I won't betray you … ever you can count on that ! And so we slept the rest of the night .
With Rainbow Blitz
What the stallion saw when his cousin flew out the door , something either spooked her triggered a really bad memory . "What in the hay happened?" asked Rainbow Blitz .
Back in Canterlot
Princess Celestia , was able to get a few scientists and what researchers that she was able to find in Equestria , she showed them the blueprints , and got right too it .
The first thing was starting research on a few weapons . Said weapons were the E 11 blaster rifles , but modified for pony use . The armor would take time to research and develop into a working prototype .
The hardest part would be finding a large enough open field for the ships to be worked on .
Hmmm , maybe I could find a planet for them to work on the ships … no that would take too long , so I guess I'll work with what I got thought Celestia . At the moment Twilight was reading a random book from the Royal Canterlot archives .
Luna you have no idea as to what is about to take place in this war … yes this war will begin in earnest , and you sister will fail in dethroning me , I will have eternal day ! Thought the white alicorn as she looked over Equestria . She saw various ponies going about there business doing what anypony would . That's right my subjects do whatever it is you all do .
Back on Moon City
Luna awoke and saw an entire fleet of ships ready and this time she had to scout out some places that were untouched by ponies , the lands beyond Equestria .
We should be able to establish a forward base there and operate striking from long distances and hitting Celestia from anywhere , beyond Equestria , but I should consider getting allies before mounting another attack , and I know just who , Chrysalis she was beaten by the elements of harmony true , however times have changed as they are no longer needed but I might be able to form an alliance with her , provided she doesn't turn traitor on us the moment Celestia is dethroned thought Luna .
She kept pacing until she had an idea . Tomorrow morning ,she's going to negotiate an alliance with the changelings. She did a quick clean spell and decided to take a pelican to scout out some places beyond Equestria .
Places that haven't been touched by ponykind , since the founding of Equestria it's self .
Luna boarded the pelican , the door closed and off it took descending toward the earth , and flying over Manehatten , Balitmare , and Hoofington. Toward the border of Equestria it's self .
Most of the areas that she saw were ocpied with a few ponies but none beyond , she also found whole large land masses that were untouched . "Pilot" she called . "Set us down" .
Complying the pilot of the pelican , touched down with the door opened after it entered the atmosphere . She walked outside and looked around she saw the ocean and saw that it was the perfect the place to build a forward base .
She told the pilot to radio in for a team of construction ponies to get a base started . In a few hours more pelicans started to touch down on the coordinates that pilot of the first pelican transmitted .
Hours later , Princess Star Chaser came down in the of the pelicans and over saw the construction of the first base , the first one built outside of Celestia's spy network . "Sister are you sure that this is going to work?" asked Star Chaser worriedly .
"OF course dear sister we are the ones overseeing construction of this base , as it will serve more than just a normal base , it will serve as the work for the research of ground vehicles as well" said Luna proudly .
"Princess" said one of the construction ponies . "yes what is it ?" asked Luna . "The base is coming along quite nicely , but are you really sure to this be a good idea , The Solar Empire might be syping on us" said one of the construction ponies .
"do not worry as we are outside of Equestria so we shouldn't fear anything of what the Solar Empire can do" said Luna comfortingly . "Alright seems fair to me , however though I should tell ya that the final phase is going to be taking awhile , as we already have most of the base built" he said .
Both princesses nodded at this and decided to see if they can check out any more good spots that is near water . Most of the spots were good and were close to water .
As they would serve a purpose for the ocean part of the lunar navy . Several more pelicans soon touched upon the water and the ponies started building more bases .
While construction was going on with the other bases both Luna and Starchaser had to consider that Moon City was getting crowded , so they had more locations scouted out all over the moon .
Most of the said locations were perfect for the construction of more cities . The construction ponies were sure being run around building things .
Later the ponies of Moon City migrated to the other cities as the population dropped considerably . And soon everything was leveled out , transportation was soon added in as the mono rail would serve as a means of transportation .
When the mane 5 and Spike weren't over seeing things during the war they were just hanging around as friends should .
However the scar of what happened in Canterlot prior to that really scared them.
Rarity couldn't believe that Twilight would turn her own back on her and the others like that . Heck neither could Fluttershy . As for Rainbow , well she's sticking with the human Adam .
Both Pinkie Pie and Applejack both knew that they could never forgive there purple friend for what she did that day , heck she did in front of an entire crowd of ponies and in front of Celestia no less ! .
Twi , yall are gonna pay for what ya did to all of us , Spike included . One thing that the mane 5 could all agree on was that Twilight Sparkle is going down one way or another .
Back with Luna and Star Chaser
on the trip back both Luna and Star Chaser decided that it was time to develop a better means of communications .
So both of them talked it over with Pinkie about developing a easier means and of course that meant the radio . "Okie Dokie Lokie" said Pinkie Pie happily .
She bounced off to tell her 'workers' that they needed to work on a radio . Luna walked out of the research and development building and back toward the castle . Both princesses knew that this war is going to be starting in earnest .
