The New world part 1

Everfree Forest,Equestria,year 1001 of Celestias Reign

03:00 pm

In the more civilized areas of Equestria the night was a time of complete silence.That is of course,except for the legendary Everfree Forest.Here,just like ponies,some animals go to their dens,nests,lairs to rest up and get ready for the next day,but the many predators that stalk these woodlands have no rest during the night.This is the time when the real predator action happens,especially when the light of Luna's moon is shining bright.Only tonight,the moon isn't the only thing that's shining bright.

Deep,within the depths of Everfree,something unexpected has appeared,something shiny,something nopony thought could ever see in this universe:an Anomaly.Usually these shiny portals only open between two timelines of only one world or dimension.But an anomaly opening up in the heart of the Everfree forest,in a different dimencion is something entirely new.

Noticing this strange brightness through a cluster of bushes a lone male Manticore came closer to investigate.It never seen anything like this before.EVER.After taking a few sniffs on it he determand that the anomaly wasn't a threat so he just turned his back and slowly left the area.Big mistake.He only made a few steps when he suddenly heard the anomaly giving out a bit of a louder sound for only a split second.The Manticore turned around and saw the anomaly hasn't changed,yet as he sniffed the air around him he caught the sent of something entirely new.He could sense it was a creature,yet the sent was completely alien to him.He took a fighting stance looking around yet saw nothing.But his opponent sure as hell saw him.From above.

On the high branches,right above the Manticore the alien predator could defiantly see him.Or more likely it actually saw his heartbeats and through the sound vibrations determan the shape of the Manticore. As it slowly crept lower a small branch snapped,putting the Manticore on alert.But when he looked up he had no time to even react as the predator just shot itself like a bullet from the tree and quickly mauled the Manticore.


09:00 am

Mornings tend to start in a relatively slow pace for most towns or cities or small villages.The town of Ponyville knew no better.Some chose to wake up early and get energized quickly,like the hardworking Applejack,or the fashion-loving Rarity and let's not forget the never tiring Pinkie Pie.Others,like virtually everyone starts the day in a slow pace,like the shy yet always kind Fluttershy,or the athletic and yet sometimes lazy Rainbow 'Danger' Dash and of course the newly crowned princess of Equestria Princess Twilight Sparkle and her always loyal assistent and friend Spike.Today of course seemed no different then yesterday,or the day before yesterday.However this day would be different then yesterday,only nopony knew it just yet.

Twili...pardon,I mean Princess Twilight Sparkle slowly began to wake up from the Dream Realm and come back to reality.As she began to rise up from her bed she felt a sudden nudge on her back.She looked behind only to see her new wings just sticking out like a pair of sore thumbs.She had only been crowned two weeks ago and also reseived her wings in the same time.Since then she's been practesing,not only how to fly,but also how to control these extra limbs,especially tucking them in when going to bed.So far however it didn't work.Although she was annoyed,right now,as she looked into the mirror,she needed to arrange her mane.She noticed that Spike was still snoring like a full grown dragon,even though he isn't technically one yet,so she decided to pestire him with chorse later when he wakes up.

She was still living in Ponyville,in the Golden Oaks Library with Spike,but whenever somepony besides her friends sees her they give her the royal treatment;you know,bows,compliments,occasional gifts ecsetera.She was thinking how bothersome and sometimes annoying this is starting to get,while brushing her mane.She was more used to when everyone in Ponyville treated her like a fellow citizen,like a friend equal to everyone.Her train of thoughts was stopped when she suddenly heard Spike,not only wake up,but also burp out a plume of his magical fire.She thought that maybe he just ate something not quiet edible last night,so she just shrugged it of.

After she was done with her mane Twilight went into the kitchen to prepare herself some breakfast and she also pulled out gemstone she secretly stashed away in a cupboard that Spike can't reach.It was meant as a surprise for him,on a special ocasion and she figured this would a good time for that.As she finished preparing her own dish she heard her dragon friend come down the stairs,fast,so she quickly turned to the entrace of the kitchen and used her magic to levitate the gemstone behind her,and she also put up a smile just in case.

As Spike finally made it to his friend he noticed that the new alicorn princess is just standing there and smiling,like she's hiding something.He only then noticed that her horn was glowing so he just had to build up some nerve to ask:

"Uh,Twilight?What are doing just standing there?And are you hiding something?"

"*sigh*Well,I heard that you burped a minute ago,"-Twilight began-"so I thought you felt sick or something.So I thought I'd give you this so you could feel better.Even just a bit."-and she levitated the gem to Spike,who instead of being happy to reseave his most favorite meal as usual,gave only a look of complete confusion.He grabbed the gem but instead of eating it immediatly he just said:

"Uhm...thanks for the gem Twilight,but uh...I'm not sick at all."-and with that Twilight's face fell,out of sheer embaressement-"And the reason I burped was because Princess Celestia sent an urgent message to you.She needs us,along with the girls,up in Canterlot,right away."-Twilight shook her head and then quickly ate her meal,along with Spike eating the gemstone and then the two quickly ran outside.

Once there they decided to go and gather up the rest of their little gang.However,fortune seems to be on their side today 'cause they only ran a few feet from their home when they suddenly saw Applejack and Rainbow Dash run and fly towards them.When both sides skidded to a halt Applejack was the first to speak,while catching her breath:

"Twi...light...Glad...to...have found...ya.*pant then gasp*Sorry about that sugarcube,but we were in a hurry to find yall."

"Yeah"-Rainbo Dash continued-"Applejack here found something weird this morning and this news is spreading really fast in town."

"Well,what did she find?"-asked a now curious Twilight Sparkle

"Well Ah found the body of a pony,close to the Everfree Forest.The poor guy was really badly mauled."-Applejack stated,grotesqe memories of the dead pony coming back to her mind-"But that ain't all of it.Folks around town say there have been two more ponies gone missing."

This was a really shocking discovery.Three ponies missing,from which one is dead.Twilight will have to mention this to Celestia in Canterlot,but for now:

"Alright then.Thanks for telling us Applejack.I'll tell this to Princess Celestia as soon as we get to Canterlot,but right now we have to get Fluttershy,Rarity and Pinkie Pie.The princess has requested a meeting with all of us right away.So lets split up,get one of our friends each and then meet back in front of the library."-Twilight told her friends.

"Alright!I'll go for Fluttershy!"-Rainbow stated

"I'll round up Pinkie Pie then."-Applejack also stated

"Then I guess that leaves me and Spike with Rarity."-the princess stated,and this idea works for Spike

After the pony trio plus dragon split up it only took them fifteen minutes to gather the others and another fifteen minutes to get back to the library.When they got back to the library a carriage was already waiting for them,so they hoped in and were onward to Canterlot.


It took a fol half hour to get to Cantelrot and when they arrived they immediatly ran to the princess.Celestia was already waiting for them in the grand hall,her face bearing a look of concern.When they got closer Celestia spoke:

"Welcome back girls.I apologies for calling you all in at this time but I an important assignment for you all.Last night my sister and I have detected an unusual source of magic within the heart of the Everfree Forest.None of us know what it is but judging by the signal it's giving up it is very powerful.I need all of you to go there and see what it is.Once you've seen what's causing this form of magic,leave the forest immediatly.As you all know,there creatures there few ponies have the courage to face."-as soon as Celestia elaborated the situation Twilight had to also add in Applejack's discovery:

"Uhm,forgive me princess.But right now there is trouble in Ponyville as well.You see Applejack discovered a body not far from the Everfree Forest,really badly mauled.There are also other two ponies that are-"-she couldn't finish 'cause Celestia raised a hoof to tell her to stop

"Yes,I am aware of that as well"-she said-"I have already sent guards into Ponyville to find the one who's been doing this and the missing ponies.You all have a stricket task that it vital to be completed.But if you find clues in the forest about the criminal or missing ponies then don't hesitate to tell the guards.However you will all take take your respect elements of harmony,should anything out of the ordinary happen.Now go.You mustn't wast any time.Go!"-and as she said those last words the main six plus Spike (ok I think I'll call them the main seven whenever I'm including Spike,OK guys?) set out to find the source of the strange magic,unknowing that it was actually the anomaly.


It took them an hour and a half to get to the edge of the forest and when they were there they were hesitant to go further,still being as scared as hell from the dangerous forest.But they knew that they had a mission to accomplish and that they had to do it sooner or later.So the decided to suck up some courage and go,but as usual Rainbow Dash had to drag Fluttershy by the tail into the forest.The trek they made was longer then they expected,the sun barely shot its light through the thick canopy and the constant roars and shrieks of different creature gave our pony heroes a feeling of fright.But as they were walking they always had an eery feeling of being watched but by what they didn't know.Yet.

After a while,a long while mind you,they finally reached the heart of the forest and couldn't believe what they saw.They were completely hypnotized by the sheer site of the anomaly,Rarity being affected most of all.In the end it was Twilight Sparkle who snapped back to reality and then turned to her friend Spike to snap him back to Equestria,also.After that she said:

"Spike!I need you to wright a message to princess Celestia,describing this...light thing in detail.It's imperative that she know of this straight away.Now!"

"Uh...Y-yes ma'am!"-after a quick salute Spike pulled out a peace of paper and a quill,from his obviously invisible pockets,and began to franteckaly wright the letter.

"Soooo,do ya think this is that strange magic signal the princess mentioned?"-Rainbow asked Twilight

"It could be Rainbow.I mean,I can feel my magic freaking out a bit."-Twilight gave an almost explicit answer

After snapping out of it as well Fluttershy suddenly heard a small snap sound of a branch the others didn't seem to notice but she did.She decided to turn and see what it was but only when she turned around did she see what was also behind her.Applejack then looked down and said:

"Uh,ya'll might wanna look down for a minute."-when the others did the same they saw a large trail of blood leading straight into the anomaly.

"Ugh.What in Equestria could have done this?"-Rarity asked,disgusted by the site o blood

"Ah don't know Rar.But whatever it was,went straight into this here light-thingy."-Applejack tried to give an explination

"So that must mean that this light could be some kind of gateway to somewhere."-Twilight perked up-"Wright this down too Spike."

"Yeah,yeah,sure Twilight."-Spike said,not liking that he's the one to take all the notes this time

When Rainbow was about to ask another question but felt that Fluttershy bump into her back.She also felt that her pegasus friend was shacking harder then an earthquaick,so it definatly couldn't be good.She turned around and saw that her friend was totally paralized with fear,so she looked into the direction her friend was looking at and saw it.She,shackly,managed to say 'Uh guys?' ad when the others turned they saw it too:it looked like some kind of primeape only instead of fur it had green-brown-ish,leathery skin,with a few areas where the flesh fell of.Its forearms where about as long as its own body,with only two digits with two long sharp claws on each.It didn't have any eyes only three large nostrils and a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth.It was constantly making strange clicking sounds while drooling on the forest bellow.

The main 7 just stared at it for only a minute,and when Pinkie blinked only once then the creature made a sickening,blood gurgling roar and ran straight towards them.Twilight only had a second to react and when she did she shot a bolt of magic into the creatures face,pushing back and giving them enough space.

"What the hey is that thing!?"-Rainbow Dash asked,clearly as frightened as the rest of her friends.

"I don't know but judging by its speed we'll never be able to use the elements fast enough against it!"-Twilight tried to explain

"OK then what do we do?!"-Rainbow once again asked and it was only then did they notice the creature getting back onto its feet,its face black and singed from the blast and it looked very pissed

"Oh.We have no choice but to get into the light."-Twilight stated

"WHAT?!"-everyone asked

"Twilight,we don't even know where this...this thing will lead us!"-Rainbow protested-"Can't you like...teleport us or something?!"

"Yes,but that thing will only come after us if I do!And besides,could whatever is on the other side be more worse then this?!"-Twilight asked,pointing to the creature that was starting to balance itself.Looks like the magic-blast affected it somehow.

But when it finally stood still on its feet it roared once again and launched itself towards them.Then Twilight looked at Spike who nodded in agreement and they both pushed or pulled their friends through the anomaly,with the future predator following close behind.

Once on the other side though the girls and dragon began to roll down a big,rocky hill,not even able to see where they were,where the light or predator is,or even see some changes on themselves.When she finally reached the bottom Twilight knocked her head to a rock and then everything went black.
