On the deck of the ship, the settlers got ready to get off their ship as Elusive said "Wake up! Shake a leg!" "It's incredible!" Sunset Glare said as he and Dusk Shine lowered the small boat, and looked at the view of the land they arrived at. "And it's all ours." Dusk Shine said in awe. "I've never seen anything like it." "It can look like Blueblood's knickers, for all I care, just as long as we get off of this stinking boat." Elusive said as he placed the wooden ladder on the side of the ship. "Come on, everypony, we didn't come all this way just to look at it." Butterscotch said as he climbed down the wooden ladder while being followed by Dusk Shine, Elusive, and Sunset Glare. As they rowed to shore, the settlers looked around in awe. Fluttershy, Angel, and Twilight Sparkle was going down the hill to get a better look of the newcomers. The settlers looked around their surroundings, completely unaware of Fluttershy, Angel, and Twilight Sparkle watching them. The small boat pulled up to shore, and the settlers got off. Then, the settlers began to pull the ship up to the shore as Elusive said "Keep it taut, everypony, keep it taut! Steady, steady!" "Ah, that's far enough!" Sunset Glare said. "All right now, tie her off." Dusk Shine tossed the end of the rope to Butterscotch as he said "Here, Butterscotch, tie up this end." When he didn't hear a response, he turned around to see Butterscotch flying to the top of a tree, near a cliff on a rock as he said "Butterscotch? Butterscotch? What are you doing up there?!" "Getting a better look!" Butterscotch said.

Fluttershy couldn't help but be attracted to the settler who was busy taking a look of the beautiful view. Angel started to walk to Butterscotch, much to the dismay of Fluttershy, who tried to hold him back, but failed. Twilight Sparkle gasped, and muttered "Angel, no!" She tried to pull him back, but failed, and she flew backwards. Angel bumped into Butterscotch who reacted by taking out his knife, and prepared to strike as he said "Hey!" He looked down to see Angel who smiled near his hooves, and Fluttershy silently gasped in horror. Butterscotch smiled as he put his knife away, and knelt down in front of Angel. Like Fluttershy, Butterscotch is always fond of animals. "Well, you're a strange looking fellow. You hungry?" He took out tiny biscuit, broke it in half, and showed one of the to Angel as he said "Here you go, it's a biscuit. It's food. Well, sort of." Angel took the biscuit, and started eating it as Butterscotch gave him another biscuit, and said "You like it, eh? Well, try eating it for four months straight." Fluttershy smiled at the sight, knowing that the settler likes animals as much as she does. Angel turned to look at Fluttershy, and showed her the biscuit as Butterscotch said "You got a friend back there?" Fluttershy's face paled in fear, and backed away into her hiding face as Butterscotch started walking towards her. Before he could get a better look at Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle flew out of the hiding place to attack him as she said "Leave us alone!"

Butterscotch struggled against Twilight Sparkle as he said "Hey, what, what, watch out!" As he struggled, more biscuits fell out of his bag, and Angel took them all. "No! Get that...look out!" Butterscotch said as he swatted at Twilight Sparkle. "Butterscotch!" Dusk Shine called out from below. "You better get down here! Prince Blueblood's coming ashore!" "All right, all right, I'm leaving." Butterscotch said as he flew down to the other settlers. Twilight Sparkle flew back to Fluttershy who said "Thank you." "You're welcome." Twilight Sparkle said smiling. Angel ate all the biscuits he collected, and ate the crumbs. Back in Ponyville, the ponies had gathered together at Pappy Smith's home as an earth pony named Double Diamond said "Did you see their faces? Very strange and sickly. Another earth pony named Marble Pie nodded, and said "They have eyes that are too dark to be normal." "My brothers, we must know more about these visitors." Shining Armor said. He looked at Pappy Smith, and said "Pappy Smith, what do you see?" Pappy Smith started chanting as he tossed some small rocks into a small fire, and made smoke take on the shapes of the images that he saw. "These are not ponies like us, but strange beasts with bodies that shine like the sun, and weapons that spout fire and thunder." Pappy smith said. "They prowl the land like ravenous wolves consuming everything in their path." As the ponies gasped in fear, Starbeam Glamour stood up from his seat, and said "Great, Shining Armor. I will lead our warriors to the river, and attack! We will destroy these invaders the way we destroyed the ponies from Appleloosa!" "Starbeam, in that battle, we knew how to fight out enemy, but these odd visitors are strange to us." Shining Armor said. "Take some ponies to the river to observe them. Let us hope they do not intend to stay."
