Midnight Sun had to excuse himself from the game table, his Paladin had already passed out drunk so he was out for a bit. It was an entertaining game to say the least. He just didn’t understand how they could sit there for hours at a time playing with no break. The dark grey stallion stretched out, Cadence had been surprised to say the least when she joined the game. She almost blasted him through the wall if it hadn’t been for Luna. Spike explained who he was and how he was different from Sombra in several different ways. The Princess of Love had sat on the side farthest from the red eyed unicorn.

He walked out onto one of the balconies staring up at the darkening sky. The figure of a large dragon taking to the skies was breathtaking. Aurora, as he had been introduced to, flew at night so she wouldn’t blind ponies when the light reflected off her scales. His chin touched the cool crystals of the balcony.

“Are you feeling alright?” a small voice asked causing him to turn around spotting Comet. Midnight looked at him before shaking his head saying. “That should be my question. How was school?”

“You’re avoiding the issue.” the colt spoke moving next to him, the black maned stallion gave him a wry smile before opening his mouth to say something when the flapping of large wings caught his attention. The Crystal Dragon was flying towards a figure in the distance her posture tense.

“What is it?” asked Comet trying to get a closer look but the dark grey maned unicorn backed away. “Midnight Sun?”

“We should head inside.” Midnight Sun commented before talking the colt inside just as a blast of energy hit the castle. His red eyes looked behind him at a gold shimmer blocking the balcony. He looked around wildly to see who casted the barrier.

“There is no time for panicking, we have to protect Ponyville.” Celestia spoke as she walked up to him. Her magical aura glowed brighter as the shield began to expand. Luna moved next to her horn glowing as well. Midnight sighed before heading out, he was no good at barrier spells but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to help.

The mane six ran towards Ponyville hoping to prevent Twilight from getting hurt. All they knew was that a giant dragon grabbed her before flying away and vanishing through a portal. The town was being protected at the moment by a large barrier as the two dragons fought above.

"How are we going to rescue Twilight when she’s caught in between a fight with two dragons?” Fluttershy asked as they ran through the streets.

"I’m not really sure, but we have to try.” Applejack told them as they closed in on the castle. Thunder crashing above them.

"Hey it wasn’t suppose to rain today!” Rainbow shouted as the clouds darkened. “What’s going on?”

“My dear it could rain long before you came along.” Mettaton said as he ran alongside as he thought back. “I know that for certain.”

“Can we focus please?” the gamboge pony requested as they opened the castle door and began to run through it. Mettaton had vanished somewhere around the kitchen.

“Get anyone who can use magic strengthen that barrier!” a voice barked as Midnight Sun pointed a hoof towards the sky where ponies were surrounding the princesses trying to give their support. “We need the Pegasi to keep a lookout for cracks in the barrier. We don’t want those dragons falling on the town.”

"You’re here.” Comet spoke running by spotting the others. “Are you just going to stand around or are you going to help?”

"Fluttershy, I need you and Flowey to get all the creatures in town down into Aurora’s library.” Rainbow instructed her eyes looking around. “Pinkie, Applejack, we need to get these ponies motivated. Rarity, get that barrier strengthened, he’s right about the town getting hit. Let’s make sure it doesn’t. Flash Sentry, Soarin, you’re with me. We have to get Twilight out of there.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Soarin replied as he he flew towards the barrier with Flash, Rainbow looked at Midnight Sun saying. “We’re going to slip through a crack, seal it once we’re through. We’ll find another way in.”

"Be quick.” the dark grey stallion told her and the light blue mare took off as fast as she could. “Let’s hope nothing else will screw us over.”

Twilight struggled to get out of the grip of the black dragon. Her coat was burning and she could feel the blood running down it. Her magenta eyes looked around for any way to escape. Mythal’s plan didn’t work, she couldn’t focus. She squeezed her eyes shut trying to focus past the pain and everything vanished. She landed hard on the ground and she felt the skin break. Rain pelted her and her eyes scanned the area she was in. It seemed like she was in a rocky almost mountainous area as she peered around. The princess moved behind a rock as something moved passed them. If she remembered her lessons in the human world correctly, it was a car. It was driving towards a series of buildings. Her wings spread as she took off following the car trying to keep out of sight.

Jun-A266 was peering through the scope, he was on edge, they all were. It had hurt losing Noble Six and they were getting a new one. All he had heard was that she was a bit of a hardass and that she was coming in a few months. That was when he spotted it, something purple against the grey sky. He tried to get a good look at it, but it kept vanishing into the clouds.

“We have movement in the sky.” he reported to the rest of the Noble Team, not taking a chance that it was a bird. “Orders?”

Twilight was trying to keep her altitude high enough not to be spotted. From what she was seeing. These humans weren’t friendly like the ones she met before. Though she was curious to see what they were like. The ones in Fereldin weren’t friendly either but they had their reasons. Suddenly pain exploded throughout her wing as feathers went everywhere. Her eyes widened as she began to plummet the ground she let out a scream. She tried to teleport but nothing was working causing her to freeze and watch as the sky moved farther and farther away.

“Twilight!” a voice shouted as a hand reached out and grabbed her own just shortly before she reached the ground. Thunder rumbled above them as Twilight panted trying to get a good look at who saved her. Yet there was nothing but a fading light as her vision began to blur. Figures were approaching in the distance but she couldn’t move.

“Over here!” a voice says just as everything cuts out.

“What’s going on?” asked Frisk watching Twilight carefully as the creature in the background fiddled with something. “Why is Twilight there?”

“I am not sure, this is not the work of the Norns.” the skeleton of the Void responded. “However, since she was under a lot of stress, her magic could have overshot. Taking her to a place even more deadly where she has been before.”

“Where is that?” Frisk questioned turning away from the image. Five figures aprroached the princess, circling around her, weapons raised.

“The future.” was all that Gaster told him, this caused the human to frown. Twilight Sparkle wasn’t supposed to go to the future just yet. That meant something was interfering, again. His eyes looked into the darkness before turning his attention back to the now captive Princess.

He was slightly worried that the UNSC would deem her a threat and kill her before she could get back to her world.

Gaster watched them human carefully knowing how worried he was. The child had become quite attached to the ponies falling for their peaceful lifestyle. That was when an idea came to his mind, the human had his uses in the void and perhaps he could give Twilight the much needed push in the right direction.

"What do you think she is?” a voice asked as the mare opened her eyes holding back a groan of pain. All that she knew from her minor observation was that she was in some sort of cell. There were two guards in heavy armor watching her.

“Don’t know. Some experiment, a freak of nature… all I know that it isn’t natural.” his partner replied shooting her a nasty glare. “Covenant experiment is my bet. Their answer to the Spartans.”

“Yeah right.” snorted the first guard shaking his head. “Why would they do something like that?”

“Would you attack something that looks like a human on sight?” snapped the other one and his companion told him. “Not with the wings. I see your point though. Most people wouldn’t."

The studious pony was getting really irritated with their attitude and decided it was time to “wake up”. She let out the groan she was holding in. Eyes snapped to her as one of the humans ran off. The Equestrian mare blinked in surprise, she hadn’t expected that one. She wasn’t sure what to do in a situation like this. She couldn’t even try and act human with how suspicious they were towards her. ‘I should try and get out of here.’ she thought keeping her eye on the guard. She was reminded of the Templars, very hard to get passed. ‘I need to get back home.’

The Alicorn princess took a deep breath as she got to her feet. ‘I can do this. I am the Princess of Friendship after all. I am going to make Princess Celestia proud that I didn’t start a war and made peace with these hums… one step at a time, Twilight, one step at a time.'

It took sometime before Twilight could convince the one in charge that she wasn’t hostile or a spy. It took even less time to convince him that she wasn’t human, apparently there were scans that revealed as much when they treated her wing. Though he did have some trouble believing that she was actually a talking horse.

“Pony.” she had to correct him, there was a difference where she was from. He was still weary not really trusting that her race was as peaceful as she claimed. The two guards, Thompson and Michaels, would teasingly call her ‘Princess Twilight’. Though when they had mentioned that they were on a different planet she had mentioned that she didn’t even know it was possible to even get off the planet, let alone colonize another one. They had reported that rather quickly. That was when plans were made to take her back as a diplomat to Earth. She didn’t blame them for taking a few months for realizing this. She would be suspicious in their situation if their roles were reversed. She had requested for Michaels and Thompson to escort her, she had grown quiet attached to them… and the laser pointer that Michaels had on him.

“I hear they’re sending Noble Team to investigate.” Michaels spoke, his bright green eyes staring at the wall ahead of him as Twilight got ready. “The Insurrection doesn’t know when to quit.”

The Princess of Friendship chose not to say anything in favor of listening in. She remembered seeing the Noble Team when she was was brought in to talk in a more formal setting. Yet there wasn’t much time for conversation with them.

“Did you see their new member?” Thompson nodded his head. “She’s a bit intense to say the least.”

“Well we don’t have to worry about her.” the taller soldier replied. “Our job is to get the ‘Princess’ to the capital and off this world. Easy.”

Fates had decided to laugh at them. They were attacked on their way to the large city by strange creatures. The team she had been sent with hid in a nearby bunker and Michaels had gotten hurt. The soldiers there were doing their best to defend it against the ‘Covenant.’. Twilight wanted to do something to help and was regulated to treating the wound. The soldiers there did instruct her as they reloaded and she got the hang of it pretty quickly. It was part of Noble Team who saved the day and got the soldiers onto the Hornets for evacuation just as they were about to be overrun.

Twilight was almost relaxing when she noticed her hands started to vanish. It all clicked in her head. ‘I wasn’t able to use my magic since it was the only thing keeping me here.’

“Everything alright?” Thompson asked looking at her his brown eyes filled with worry. She closed her hand into a fist saying. “I’m not used to fighting, but I’ll be alright.”

The ship rocked and she moved to steady Michaels and herself on Thompson. They both vanished and the soldiers around them moved to investigate as they were hit. As if reacting subconsciously a shield wrapped itself around the sapphire maned pony. She tried to save the others but was too late. Her eyes widened as her body began to fade even faster. ‘I have to save who I can before I return.’ she thought before her body began to flicker even faster and her eyes glowed white. She was consumed in a white light teleporting to those came to the front of her mind. She didn’t even know most of the people she was getting at all she knew was that the ones who were alive would be able to return to where they were when it was time.

“How is she able to rescue those who are confirmed dead?” asked Frisk watching as Twilight teleported saving Noble Team with bodies that had the exact injuries in the way that they died. Gaster looked towards the screen before replying. “I do believe that she has help.”

The human child nodded his head knowing that the creature of the void had something to do with that.

Applejack was leading her own search team in hopes of finding the missing Princess. She was in the Everfree Forest with a unicorn and pegasus. That was when she spotted two figures amongst the trees, she recognized them as humans. One was wounded and the other was trying to treat it with limited resources.

“Holy shit, I don’t think she was kidding about being a pony.” the wounded one ground out and the taller one turned around his weapon raised.

"Whoa there, we’re not going to hurt you.” Applejack told them quickly keeping her distance. “You’ve met somepony like us? A mare named Twilight Sparkle?”

“Yes, but we don’t know her location.” the taller one spoke and the Bearer of Honesty knew he wasn’t lying.

“Ponet send up a signal flare, Jetstream fly on ahead and inform them that we’ve got wounded.” the gamboge pony instructed as she moved to help the wounded one along. When they got back to the Palace of Friendship the two strangers were taken to the makeshift triage. The farm pony headed off to report to the Princesses when something caught her attention. There was a tall shape hiding in one of the rooms.

“I can see you, come on out.” she was already tensing up when she called out, her eyes widened and she shrank back as a giant in green armor walked out of the storage closet.
