Primeval:Equestria
Chapter 3: Episode 3-VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! READ NOW AUTHORS NOTES NOW!
Previous ChapterThe New World part 3
Once they exited the warehouse the girls were surprised that they were in a forest and not a town.After taking in their surroundings they saw Matt gesturing to them to get into the black truck from the ARC.The girls of course coming from a world which did not have such technological advancements,were a bit reluctant at first at getting in.However,they noticed that everyone was waiting for them to do it,so reluctantly they all got in.Surprisingly they all managed to fit into the back of one truck,which was driven by Matt,and surprisingly Connor got into the passanger seat,since he was normally in the same truck in which Abby was.And so,as everyone got into a vehicle,they all drove back to their HQ.
Thinking that it would be some time until they got back to the ARC,Connor ceased the moment and started his own little interrogation on their new visitors:
"So!What's it like?This world of yours?And what was it called again?"-Twilight knew that Connor wouldn't shut up until he knew all the answers,and since they'll be here for a while she thought 'oh what the hell?'
"It's called Equestria"-last question,first answer,but-"But I thought you guys didn't believe us."
"Yeah,well,uhm...to be quiet honest with you I kinda believe in anything that's impossible,like aliens,UFOs,that sorta thing.But anyway,the anomalies taught us that the impossible can be possible.Sometimes.So anyway,can you perhaps tell me a bit more,like what's with the...crown on your head?"-Twilight knew she had to break it to,not just this curious kid,but to everyone else from this 'ARC' so instead of holding it back she just went with the flow:
"Well,to be quiet honest with you this crown represents my title as princess."-she began excitedly-"Well actually I'm the newest princess of Equestria,I mean I've been crowned a short while ago so..."-she trailed of but continued-"Also my crown has a magical element embeded inside that combines five more elements from Equestria,therefor creating a type of magic that could actually be more powerful then those light-portals."
"Look miss Sparkle,let's be clear on one thing for now,okay?That light you and your friends saw back there is called an 'anomaly'."-Matt began and decided to keep going-"And the anomalies are actually ruptures in time,which means they can only open between two different time-periods."
"Sooo,the fact that one of these anomathingies opened up between Equestria and your world don't sound to good,right?"-Applejack decided to pitch in
"Anomalies,actually,miss Applejack."-Connor corrected her-"And yes that fact is a really weird and maybe even dangerous one."
"Uhm..excuse me...but why that fact be d-dangerous?"-Fluttershy finally spoke
"It's dangerous because we have no idea what kinds of creatures are in your world,and therefor we don't know how to handle them."-Matt stated right before Connor could
"Well,if you want we could tell you."-Twilight offered a suggestion-"I mean,we've been in the Everfree forest enough to know what monsters are out there,like Manticores,Hydras,Cockatrices."
"Or in the worst case scenario,a really big and angry dragon."-Spike spoke up as well, getting the attention of both Connor and Matt-"What?"
"Nothing."-Connor quickly said-"It's just that your a dog...and dogs do not talk."
"Well actually I'm not even a dog.I'm actually a dragon myself."-Spike once again said with a grin on his face,but;
"But you don't need to be scared Connor. Spike's just a baby dragon."-Twilight reasured the young scientist
"Although,ya might not wanna give him to much stuff partner.Otherwise he'll really be a full-grown dragon."-Applejack told Connor in whisper
Connor was about to ask why,but Matt told him not to,and that was a good thing to since now they were aprouching the big city.The girls were really amazed by the architecture of the city of London.Even Rainbow Dash seemed to have forgotten her depretion as she too was staring in amazement.Sure they've seen big cities,like Canterlot,Manehatten,and so on,but London seemed more impressive.The looks on their faces was just priceless,it made Matt crack a smile for once.
Pretty soon they all reached the ARC itself,which was a really big,glass-covered building.Next to the ARC was a second,smaller building,made completely out of metal,with only a few windows at the top section,and this building was connected to the ARC by a tube-like bridge.The girls only stared at the building for a while,but then heard Becker coughing loudly to get their attention.Once that was accomplished he motioned with his head for them to follow,and so they did.
Inside the team and mane seven went through a lot of hallways until they reached the main operations area.Now this room caught the girls attention the most.Much of what they've seen so far of the ARC seemed interesting,but the main operations area seemed more...techy then the rest.That,and it also had the always-popular,three-screened anomaly detector.When they saw it all seven equestrians went closer,since they have never seen anything this advanced before.
"Now this is something really amazing."-said an apparently excited Twilight and once she was done, the chair in front of the girls turned around,revealing a young woman smiling at them then said:
"Hello.I'm Jess.You must be the mysterious girls Becker told me about."
"Uh,hi I'm Twilight Sparkle and...how could he have told you?He was with us the entire time.Did he use some kind of spell to send you a letter?Or did he secretly used a dragon,like Spike?"-Jess was of course confused about what Twilight asked,especially the last part with the dragon.
"Uh...no,no he didn't use a spell or a uh...dragon.He just told me through the com-links."-Jess was about to ask whether Twilight was okay,since she thought she could be a bit crazy,but then:
"Save your questions for later Jess.Right now they have to be debreafet."-as the girls turned to the source of the new voice they saw a tall man,wearing an italian suit and a red neck-tie,came out of the glassed office room.
30 minutes later
By now Twilight had finished telling James Lester,the ARC teams CO,their entire story:who they were,what they were,where were they from and how did they get here.The team was there as well,listening with really big interest,since they didn't hear the whole story back at the warehouse.After she was done,Lester just looked completely unimpressed,keeping his professional posture.At first Twilight thought he was just making that face since he saw everything the anomalies could spit out,but after hearing him speak up she thought otherwise:
"So,let me see if I understand this correctly:you and your friends miss Sparkle are from an alternite world,or universe as you put it,in which you are all actually colorful,talking ponies and you accidentally came through an anomaly just to escape from a creature,which,by your description,was a future predator."-he paused for a moment before continuing-"Well,from what you told me,either what you said is true or,and this is the more likely explination,you are clinically insane."-at this Rainbow Dash could only sigh and roll her eyes out of annoyance,having heard this once already.
"The former."-Twilight spoke once again with a smirk-"But if I say that then that means I'm clinically insane,right?"-Matt smiled at this since she,unknowingly,said exactly what he did after he told Lester that he's from the future.
"Actually,she's right Ms. Lester.And by the way,I'm not a pony,I'm a dragon."-Spike spoke,surprising Becker,Abby,Emily,Jess and Lester(although he didn't show signs of it).After Twilight gave Spike a glare,and after Lester sighed deeply he spoke once again:
"Good God.And here I thought I've seen everything with the anomalies."-he paused then looked at Twilight and her friends once more then continued-"So if you all really are ponies *looks at Spike and sighs* and a dragon,then how come you all look human?"
Spike was about to correct him about a detail he missed but Twilight spoke up first-"Unfortunatly we have no idea about that either Ms. Lester.This must have happened when we went through the anomaly.But other then that we don't know."
"Why do you keep saying 'we' egghead?"-Rainbow Dash asked earning a stern look from her friend-"You're the smart one in our little group Twilight,you're the one who's supposed to know how did we end up like this."
"Well in her defence,Ah say you could be doin' a little thinkin' yourself Rainbow."-Applejack retorted to RD
"OK that's enough!"-Matt got inbetween them and in good time too-"There's no point in arguing.There was no way miss Sparkle could have known about this sudden transformation,unless she has seen an anomaly before."
"No,Ms. Anderson,I didn't!That's the hole point,not even princess Celestia herself knew what this thing was!"-Twilight was starting to get angry,since she thought everyone was blaming her for all of this,but luckily Fluttershy put a conforting hand on her shoulder and said:
"Uhm,Twilight?Please calm down,OK?It's not your fault that we're here right now.We'll find a way to get back to Equestria and turn back to our old selves.You'll see."-Twilight looked at her friend and managed to push away her anger and managed to crack a smile-"Besides,Ms. Anderson promised he'd help us figure it out."
Then everyone just looked at Matt,as if waiting for him to say something,but then Lester spoke to him-"Next time how about you let me handle those kinds of decisions Matt."-and after the man of the future nodded Lester once again turned to the main seven-"Well,since the decision of helping you all out has been made,we can only wait at the moment for the right anomaly to open to your world.In the mean time you will be provided an apartment for you to stay for the time being and right now you will be provided with medical care for your injuries.But before that please go and get yourselves cleaned up.You all look like you've just been in hell."
"Pfst,no kidding smart guy."-Rainbow Dash said under her breath,but Lester could almost hear her and made a face
Then,after the meeting was done,they all went out of the office and back to the operations area,when Twilight turned towards Matt and asked:
"Uhm,Ms.Anderson?I was wondering,do you think we could help you guys out here in the ARC while we're here?"
"But we deal with anomalies and creatures you probably never even heard of."
"Well,yeah,but if you give us some books then we could learn about them."
Before Matt could say anything the alarm went on and they all ran to the anomaly detector.But to their surprise it wasn't an anomaly,but a creature break-out.And,just their luck,it just happens to have been the Kaprosuchus.
Once they saw the creature on one of the security cams,rushing in a corridor Becker quickly ran of to get EMDs and back-up.
About a minute later Becker came back with plenty of EMDs for the whole team.The mane seven however didn't get any and RD and AJ were about to protest but just then one of the doors burst forth and out came the Kaprosuchus. The girls were completely terrified,not only was this giant croc scary,but also rather ugly too.Soon Becker and his men surrounded the beast and were ready to fire when-
"WAAAAAIT!"-Fluttershy just screamed,not yelled but screamed,as she jumped in front of the soldiers with her arms out.Not even her friends noticed her getting there.
Then Matt ordered Becker to lower his gun and when he reluctantly did so,so did the others.The not-so-shy pegasus girl turned around with a calm and comforting smile on her face.She calmly aprouched the prehistoric croc and when it opened its mouth to growl loudly she just made a comforting 'shhh' and put her right hand on the animals bone-hard snout.And,miraculously,the reptile closed its mouth as it calmed down.Then it showed her its right paw,which had a black,metal rod speared into it,blood dripping from the wound.
"Oh you poor,poor little baby."-said Fluttershy to the Kaprosuchus
"Little?"-asked Rainbow Dash
"Baby?Wha-what the hell is she doing."-asked a really confused Connor and when he looked at Abby she only shrugged
"Now this will hurt for juuust a moment."-said Fluttershy as she grabbed the rod and pulled out with all her strength.Then the Kaprosuchus reared up onto its hind legs and roared out in pain as loud as its lungs could afford it.When it landed it looked at Fluttershy and instead of tearing her apart it just rubbed its big,scaly head against her body,as she giggled and said-"Aw your just a big sweet crocodile.Yes you are."
Now the team was really confused;not only did this really shy girl calmed down one of the most dangerous creatures in the ARC but also made it completely friendly.The main seven however weren't that surprised,since they've seen her do this once before on a pissed off Manticore. After a moment of silence Matt finally spoke:
"Uhm...Abby?Get the Kaprosuchus back to the menagerie.And miss Fluttershy,would you mind helping her out,since the Kaprosuchus seems quiet fond of you."-Fluttershy only nodded her head and both started walking,with Abby at her right.
"Uhm...just a quick question:how did you know about the rod?"-Abby just had to know
"I didn't. Sometimes we all just have to be shown a little kindness."-Fluttershy answered and Abby could only chuckle at that.
After they were out of site Connor could only chuckle as well as he turned to the main seven and said-"That was sooo...amazing.I mean,it's like she knew how to handle the Kaprosuchus from the start.Abby is the one who takes care of the creatures and even she had a hard time with that thing."
"Well,you should have seen her when she took on a full-grown dragon back in Equestria."-Rainbow Dash told Connor with a smirk
"Alright,enough chatter girls.Let's just find the little filly's room and get cleaned up.I'm telling you,my mane looks absolutely terrible."-Rarity said and with that Jess offered to show them the way to the rest room
Spike of course didn't go,and just hopped onto one of the desks close to Connor and Becker,while Matt went to talk to Lester about a particular business. Then Connor finally asked:
"So.Did you guys really faced a future predator?"
"Well if that's what you guys call that...thing,then yes we did."-Spike answered
"But,apart from the whole 'going into the anomaly thing',how did you really survived against it?"Becker just had to know-"I mean,those freaks are so fast they could kill you in the blink of an eye."
"Oh.Well,Twilight just shot it in the face with a magic bolt."
"Magic bolt?"-Connor asked
"Yeah.Most unicorns use their magic for just their every-day matters.You know,like the way you guys use your hands hands."-Spike said-"But Twilight can also use magic in a different way too.She's like the most talented unicorn in all of Equestria. Well I guess I should better start calling her alicorn now."
"Well."-Connor began,quiet impressed by how they outsmarted the creature-"And here I thought you guys would use those element things miss Sparkle told us about."
"Well to tell you the truth"-Spike began-"Twilight's element of harmony has to unite its power with the other five elements and that takes time.She knew that and that's why she had to improvise,other wise that thing would have killed us by now."
Before anyone could say anything Matt came out of Lester's office and went to the guys.Once there Connor asked him what he was talking about with Lester and Matt only said this:
"Just something we'll talk about later,okay?"
Then the two humans and dog-turned dragon just shrugged and right then the girls came back.They were now fully cleaned,hairs cleaned and not a single scratch on'em;well except for the dry scratches from their little hike in the future,not to mention holes on their clothes.Rarity said she'd fix that but now they were ready to have their wounds treated.But just then the alarm went on again,only this time it was an anomaly alert.Once at her seat Jess confirmed that the anomaly was still in the forest of Dean but a few miles away from the previous site.As the team grabbed their black boxes and were ready to leave Twilight stopped Matt and said to him:
"Ms. Anderson wait!Please let us help you with this.We could help you contain this anomaly and whatever came through it."
"Sorry miss Sparkle but it's too dangerous,you can't come."-Matt stated-"Now all of you stay here.That's an order!"-and then he left with the others.
The last part of course wasn't exactly appealing to the mane seven,since they didn't like taking orders from someone who's not the princess herself.So Rainbow Dash came up with a plan.
In the span of only five minutes the team was already outside at the cars and ready to roll out,unaware of seven,percistent stoweways.
Once at the anomaly site the first thing the team noticed was that there were large,theropod tracks coming from the anomaly.The next,was that,according to Connor's date calculator,the anomaly lead to the cretaceous period.
The team was so busy that they failed to notice the covers from one of the trucks slightly move and giving out an annoying sigh.
"Ugh.How long are we gonna stay cooped up in here?"-Rainbow Dash asked in a whisper,as she was laying on top of Applejack-"This is starting to get both uncomfortable and awkward."
"Shhh,stay quiet Rainbow,other wise they'll hear us."-Twilight said with a glare,also in a whisper-"We just have to stay still a little while longer.At least until we can find out what's going on"
That was her statement.But Rainbow Dash would just keep arguing about the fact that this was ridiculous and Twilight would just keep countering.But while this was going on Pinkie Pie's nose was being assaulted and tickled by the dust that gathered on the large blanket they were under.
Ah
Ah
AH
CHU
Her sneeze was so powerful that it,not only attracted the attention of the team,but also blew the blanket up for a few seconds,before it decended back down.(just like in the cartoons)
The pony team stood still for a few more seconds before a familiar and irritated captain Becker pulled of the blanket,earning seven embarrassed smiles from the group.After a minute the pony team was off the truck and the anomaly team was now facing them.Matt was the first to break the silence,as usual:
"What are you all doing here?"-this only made the girls and Spike even more nervous then they already are-"You were supposed to be at the ARC.Why didn't you follow my order?"
"Oh we'll tell you why,mister High-and-Mighty!"-Rainbow Dash retorted,and although Twilight tried to stop her,she still advanced-"Because we hate being treated like a bunch of kids that know nothing!We've dealt with things back in Equestria that are at least a hundred times worse then the things you have here.And we also fought and defeated villains that you can't even begin to imagine! Badies like Nightmare Moon or Discord or Queen Chrysalis or even King Sombra! So why don't you just cut the crap already and let us help you!"
Matt didn't even bother to interrupt RD throught her speech.He already figured that since they wanted to help they'd be as stubborn as a mule (or in this case a whole bunch of mules),but he wanted to also hear it,just to be certain.And after hearing the pegasus-turned-human girl he only had one thing to say,to all of them:
"OK then follow us and don't do anything reckless"-Matt stated as he turned around to go back to the anomaly site and failing to see the reactions on the girls faces,but he did hear their squeals of joy.But,as usual,one member of his team just had to question his decision.
"Hang on,why are you letting them come along?!"-asked an irritated Becker
"Because, they're as stubborn as a mule and there's no point in arguing."-Matt said,although he thought his answer might have offended the girls,but he'd think about that later.
The girls were now very happy that they could finally help out, and so they went to follow Matt. As they walked silently back to the anomaly, they noticed that there were some very large, three-towed footprints almost everywhere they looked. Now, they've seen these sorts of tracks back home made by chickens. However, looking at the size of these ones, they were suspecting that whatever made them isn't a chicken.
Once they arrived, the girls and Spike were greeted by the familiar site of the anomaly. Even though this is the second time they saw it, they were still amazed by the site of it. Thinking she should chance the question, Applejack turned to Matt and asked:
"So...does this one lead to Equestria?"-Matt was about to answer, but Connor did it for him
"Well...unless Equestria existed during the time of the dinosaurs, in the late cretaceous period, then...no."-while Applejack and the others were disappointed by the answer, Matt just shot Connor a look, to which he just asked-"What?"
Before anyone could say anything else, a loud roar was heard and they went and started looking around them, with their weapons held out, while the girls started getting very nervous. When the roar died down, Fluttershy was the first to speak up-"W-what was that?"
"It had to have been the creature."-Abby answered as the team saw that the creature was nowhere in site. Then Matt spoke to everyone
"Alright, listen up! There's a dangerous theropod out there somewhere and we need to find it fast, so we'll split up: Becker, you go with Emily, Abby you're with me, now let's go!"-they only made a few steps before Connor spoke up:
"Hang on! What about me? What do I do?"
"AND WHAT ABOUT US?!"-the girls and Spike all shouted in the same time
At that everyone turned to them and Matt elaborated-"You girls stay here, and Connor you stay here to keep an eye on the anomaly and the girls."-both Connor and the pony gang were frustrated about Matt's decision and it was Applejack spoke up first:
"Now wait just a minute here! Ah thought ya'll said we could help ya out?!"
"Yes, but I never said with the creatures, especially now."-and with that Matt turned his back to them and began walking away, with Abby following close behind.
After everyone left, the mane seven just stood there dumbfounded while Connor just raised his hands then let them drop while saying:
"I can't believe it. I have to stay with the anomaly again. And now I have to look after you guys too."
"Hey, it's not like we like the idea ourselves geek boy."-Rainbow Dash growled
Realizing that it would probably be fruitless to start an argument with Rainbow, Connor decided to just sit down on a log and wait for something, preferably good, to happen. The girls themselves decided to try and occupy themselves with something while they wait:
"So, uhm...what sort of creature did you say came through the anomaly?"-Fluttershy asked Connor-"That is...if you don't mind me asking."
"I uh didn't..."-Connor said, wondering just how shy if this girl-"But I do know that it's a theropod."
"Uh, in equestrian, for those of us who don't speak 'egghead'."-Rainbow Dash said, gaining an irritated look from both Connor and Twilight
Author's Notes:
Hey guys, hows it goin'? Anyway, I've got some news concerning this story.
...I'm cancelling it.
Yep, you've heard me right. The reason for this is because there is no way for me to continue on with this. I don't live in England so there's no way for me to pick out any good locations for the anomalies to appear. Plus I personally think this whole story just turned out horribly, and I'm willing to even bet my own money that a lot of you guys think the same.
However, for those few of you who somewhat liked this story fear not. I'm planning to make a remake of this thing entitled 'Primeval: Equestria-remake-'. The title might change in due time. Anyway this story is still gonna be focused on the Primeval universe, but the action itself is gonna be played out in Equestria. Characterwise, this story will feature an OC from the Primeval universe. The original characters from the show itself will probably make appearance later on, but will mostly be mentioned. And this will also be an opportunity for me to make my very first anthro themed MLP story.
Now I'm gonna leave this current story here as it is for a full week and after that I'll delete it completely. If some of you don't want this story taken down, or wish to adopt it, then just give me a shout-out in the comments or just slap me with a PM.
Oh and one more thing, I'm working on a 'Ed Edd 'n' Eddy/League of Legends' story on FanFiction.net, so the remake story will probably not be posted all that quickly.
Anyway, sorry for all you fans of this story out there for the bad news, but it had to be done.
Well, see you guys later. Bye.
