Celestia is still in shock about what as happen to her home and capital of Equestria. Also seeing the strange airship that saved her sister and a lot of ponies that would have died if didn’t show up when it disappears from where ever it came from.

“Sister!” Luna shouted from across the courtyard where she was when the strange looking airship when it’s taking off. “Luna it good to see that you’re alright, after what just happen in Canterlot.” She tells her sister giving her a hug. “You’ve seen the airship?” Luna asks her sister. “Yes, I did see it taking off before disappearing like there was nothing there. Why do you ask?” She asks her sister looking a little lost. “Well, me and Chrysalis were on it and we talked with the person who’s driving it.” Luna tells her making her miss heard from what her sister just said.

“Person?” Celestia asks her. “That’s right a person in other words humans.” Luna said out loud making shocking her sister. “So they are returning after all these years.” Celestia said thinking out loud. “That isn’t the full story.” Luna tells her. “What are you talking about dear sister?” She asks her looking confess from what her sister just told her.

“You see the human that saved me, Chrysalis, and other ponies today is from the future; more like 20 years from what he told me.” Luna trying to tell her sister from what James told her. “Was there anyone else with him?” Celestia asks him. “Yes, there’s an older Pinkly Pie and their daughter Destiny.” Luna tells her shocking her a little. “I’m guessing where their younger self’s in the world where Twilight and the others are?” Celestia asks her sister. “Yes that they are from what he told their younger selves are trying to find a way home by getting the nine elements of his world to get them home without destroying both worlds in the process. That is what he told me on the ship.” Luna tells her answering some of her sister questions. “That won't be the last time we see of them?” Celestia asks her sister looking over the ruins of Canterlot.

Chrysalis is walking through remains of Ponyville thinking about what James just told her changing her DNA where she can’t survive on eating love along. “How could he do that to me?” She asks herself. “When he saw me starving to death like that he had to do something to save my life by changing my DNA where I can still eat off love but not of a main food source; at else that what he told me when I asked him on the ship.” She answers her owned question in her head before running into one of the doctors at the tents with some medicine trying to help the ponies that came from Baltimare yesterday afternoon. “I’m sorry I wasn’t watching where I was going.” He tells her before taking off to where he needed most of all. Chrysalis got curious why he in set a hurry to get the tents.

Moments later when she got there she sees something that shocks her beyond belief. “Oh, my sweet Equestria.” She said seeing ponies showing green and yellow veins showing up where their blood veins are glowing with every heartbeat. “I need to tell Luna about this.” She tells herself before running to where Luna and Celestia were last seen.

Both Celestia and Luna see Chrysalis running towards them. “We have a problem at the tents where we’re keeping the some of the sick that came from Baltimare yesterday.” She tells them both shocking them both from what she told them; before seeing a guard running to them with great importance.

“Your highness the doctors wish to see the three of you.” He tells them. “Is it urgent?” Celestia asks him. “Yes, some of them have no idea what going on with the ponies that came from Baltimare yesterday.” He tells them trying to catch his breath from spirt he just did.

“We’ll are on way.” Luna tells him before the three of them takes off to the tents.

When they got there, both Celestia and Luna were in for a shock of a lifetime; seeing close to a hundred ponies having glowing green and yellow blood veins showing up all over their bodies. “How did this happen?” Celestia asks the doctor that inside with them. “I don’t know princess they start showing up this morning out of nowhere.” He tells her the story on them. “And before you ask, no, no pony has died from this let.” He tells answers her question before she could even had a chance to ask. “Thanks doctor keep me posted on any changes.” She tells him walking to one of the ponies in bed seeing her contention.

“Luna, how many got off the train when you got back from Baltimare?” Celestia asks her sister. “It was like close to three hundred ponies from what I seen getting on the train.” Luna her calming her sister nerves little.

“There must be something in Baltimare made these ponies look the way they look in their current state.” The doctor said thinking out loud from what he heard from the sister conversation. “With what going on out there these days are not the best option right now.” Chrysalis said out loud.

“I know what you mean Chrysalis after what happen to us and what about to happen out there right now and I’m not going into that city now trying to save ponies where that Piece of Omega in the darken ski above us.” Luna said out loud scare out her mind for what about to happen pulling out the map with the symbols on it showing a new symbol on it outside of Dodge City and Apple Loosa close to the Bad Lands. “Sister the next disaster is coming!” She shouts at her sister.

Meanwhile on the airship, Vinyl and Octavia are making their way to where Lyra and Bon Bon are. “I still surprise about what has happen back in Canterlot.” Octavia tells her friend from the shock of it all. “I know what you mean Octy, I’m still can’t believe it that Canterlot is gone into the valley below.” Vinyl said what is on her mind at the time; opens the door where their friends are where Lyra is looking out the window trying to hold back the tears from what just happen.

“Lyra, you’re alright?” Vinyl asks her friend. “It my parents I don’t know that they made it out of the city.” Lyra said out loud looking out of the window before turning around facing her friend shedding a few tears.

“I’m still surprise that James found out that we were humans in a past life.” Lyra said out loud changing the subject to save herself the trouble of worrying too much. “I never thought that I was a human in the past.” Vinyl telling her friend about the events on has happened to them last night. “That would explain a lot?” Lyra asks herself. “What are you talking about Lyra?” Vinyl asks her. “Back when I was a foul, I starting having these dreams about a past life in a different then Equestria. I had skin the same color as my clot the only different was that I was wearing clothes that comes close to what would where if I would were for that world. When I woke up the next morning I starting to find out more about what was going on in that dream; come to find out that there used to creatures called humans and wanted to find out more about them.” Lyra tells her story. “Did you find out anything before yesterday?” Vinyl asks her. “Yes, I did. But from what I could find in the Canterlot library in the mythical section where I found the named and some of their culture and world.” She answering Vinyl’s question. “I tell you from what I’ve seen in the past two days are better than years of research on the subject.” Lyra said out loud making Bon Bon turns her head on the story Lyra is telling.

“First I thought it was just a myth until yesterday and I thought it was just a hobby she been doing in her spare time.” She said out loud before hearing on the intercom.

“We have a change in our destination. We’re heading for Dodge City.” I said out loud over the intercom.

Five minutes earlier. The phone connected between the airship and the Bunker starts to ring. “Destiny can you answer that.” I tell her, making her get up from where she was sitting to answer the phone come to it’s the Dr. Galaxy Overwatch.

“Doctor what is it?” She asks him over the phone. “Destiny where’s your father at?” He asks her. “He is currently driving the airship why what’s going on?” She asks him making her worry a little.

“Put it on speaker.” I tell her, she quick put the phone on speaker. “Doctor what going on?” I ask him. “James, it the case where with the chips are. One of them is glowing.” He tells me. “Which one is glowing?” I ask him. “The case is glowing yellow from what I can see.” He tells me. “It got to be the Desert Chip.” I said out loud.

“What about Cheese Sandwich, is he woken up let?” Pinky asks the Galaxy popping out from behind Destiny shocking her a little from being caught off guard a little. “He just woke up from being having his brain crash like that. He all right as far I can tell Penelope and that Agent of yours is looking after him until his head clears.” He tells the three of us.

“Thank you Doctor.” I said before hanging up on him and got on the intercom to tell the others that we’ll be heading to Dodge City; changing course dictation to the city.

Back at the Ponyville, Chrysalis and Luna are running towards the train station with great hash. Both of them look seeing the Piece of Omega glowing again before taking off to the spot on the map. “We don’t have much time.” Luna said out loud seeing the train is ready to go where they are needed. “Where’re we going?” The driver asks them before climbing aboard. “Apple Loosa.” Luna tells them both before getting aboard with Chrysalis. Within moments the train pulls out of the station heading for their destination as fast the steam train can go.

Elsewhere in the Equestria desert plans in a buffalo camp Chief Thunderhoofs looks over the darken ski above him and the camp; then seeing something coming towards them that look like a sun moving fast towards them before flying over their camp towards the hills next to the Bad Lands. “Something is coming and it’s not good.” He said out loud.

Before seeing a yellow glow in the darken ski. “We must hurry and get to Apple Loosa for cover.” He said to every buffalo in the camp even his daughter Little Strongheart. “From what, may I ask?” She asks her father. “Don’t you feel it?” He asks her. “What?” She asks him again making her confuse by what he just told her. “There is something coming that just doesn’t feel right. It started a month ago and the feeling kelp coming at me like an itch you can’t scratch.” He tells her. “I know how that feels sometimes and I tell the others to be ready to leave in a short time.” She tells her father to tell the other buffalo to be ready to go.

Near an half an hour later every buffalo start running towards Apple Loosa. Braeburn and some other ponies trying to cover up some of the apple trees before the sandstorm hit the town and apple ocher. Within at moments to pair all the trees are covered up and running towards town seeing Chief Thunderhoofs and other buffalos in town talking to the Sheriff.

“What do you mean there no place to take cover from the sandstorm?” Chief asks him. “There are room for some but not everypony and buffalo. It just no telling how badly this storm can be from that sun lighting up the darken ski above us.” He tells him the news.

“I have some room that I can pair.” Braeburn said out lout telling them both. “Thanks Braeburn for doing this.” The sheriff tells him before heading elsewhere that needed him.

“Thanks Braeburn for doing this.” Strongheart tells him taking her, her father and some of the other buffalo that couldn’t go to the other shelters that nearly full with them and the town folk. “Best for us to hurry then.” He tells the group of them that couldn’t get to the shelters.

The group wasted to time getting a move on seeing the sandstorm coming fast towards them. “There it is.” Braeburn said out loud running as he can towards a hugh farmhouse for its size.

“I never thought that your house would be this big?” Chief questions, looking at the sherd size of the house itself. “Thanks for that the family build it when we came here a few years ago.” He answers the Chief question opening the front door letting every buffalo into the den before closing the door behind them and himself.

“Make yourselves at home.” Braeburn said out loud locking the front door. The den was impressive for one lone stallion showing a few couches, coffee table, and end tables with lamps on them. “Braeburn?” Strongheart said out loud getting his attention. “Yes Strongheart what is it?” He asks her looking at his TV screen at the corner of the room. “I’m guessing that you don’t have a TV back at the camp?” He asks her. “Yes we do but it’s a lot smaller and can’t get a good single sometimes and it runs off batteries when we got it a few months ago.” She tells him turning it on showing a down single with color bars through the screen itself. “What’s going on?” She asks him. “I guessing you didn’t get the news about what happen this morning in Canterlot.” He tells her. “What happed?” She asked him. “There was something that been going around the Equestria leaving city in ruin and abandon. The news has been keeping everypony well inform on what’s going out there until the earthquake in Canterlot this morning. So there no telling what’s going to happen next.” He telling her and the other buffalo included her father nearly scaring everypony.

Then they hear the winds outside picking up letting everypony know that the sandstorm his over there house. Then lighting strikes start hitting ground outside everypony inside and throughout the town of Apple Loosa.

Elsewhere on the tracks the train carrying Luna and Chrysalis hits its brakes stopping the train before entering the sandstorm ahead them. “What’s going on, why did we stop?” Chrysalis said out loud before looking outside seeing the sandstorm head of the train. “Luna, are you seeing what I’m seeing?” She asks he friend.

“Yes I do. Driver what’s going on?” She asks the train driver through the intercom use for staff to the train driver. “We stop because we wouldn’t be able to see anything through that.” He tells her hearing the thunder coming from the sandstorm in front of them.

Elsewhere in Dodge City is just like any other day for ponies with the darken clouds above the city. Cherry Jubilee is mining her own business running her shop and cherry ranch when she see a yellow flash outside one of the windows to the shop and when to investigate what in the name of Equestria made that light.

By the time she got outside looking at where the yellow flash came from seeing other ponies looking at the same direction. “What’s going on?” She asks a big station with a horseshoe for a cutie mark on his flank. “I don’t know ma’am. I do know is, that I have nothing to do with this.” He answers her question. “Thanks for being honest with me. May I ask what your name by the way?” She asks him. “Trouble Shoes ma’am.” He answers her question. Before hearing a bang coming from behind them making both of them turn their hands and others ponies to see what made that loud noise.

A few minutes earlier, on James airship quickly making its way towards Dodge City as fast it can go. “James, why are we heading for Dodge City in stand heading for Apple Loosa?” Pinky asks me. “Don’t you remember what happen after Duke woke from his nightmare?” I answer her question with one of my own. “Yes I do and I was trying to forget it until today.” She answers him trying not to recall on a painful memory that scared both of them that they would never forget. “These nightmares and those licks that the element powers are coming through the Piece of Omega are connected somehow.” I said out loud while driving the ship to the city. “What are getting at?” She asks me. “I am going to see making that nightmare not so bad this time that it wouldn’t make the event as bad as we remember.” I answer her question. “I sure hope your right?” She asks me before leaving the room. “You’re not the only one.” I said after she left the control room.

“Dodge City coming up!” I said over the ship intercom down slow the ship making a loud noise the instance the ship slow down nearly scaring everypony in the city and on board the ship. “That’s something I will never get used to.” Vinyl said out loud from the noise. “Same here.” Octavia said out loud agreeing with her friend.

Meanwhile back in town both Cherry and Trouble Shoes as well some others seeing the strange looking airship that landing outside of town next to the train station. After it landed and the circle metal plates at it under belly, powers them down making everypony walking up to the strange looking that landed outside of town.

Meanwhile inside I left the control room going to another part of the ship with Pinky and Destiny following me from behind. “Dad what are you doing?” Destiny asks me looking scared out of her mind from where I’m going; stopping at a door with a control panel next to the door. “Something that needed to be done before things can get worst.” I said enter the pin code into the key pad; making the locks on the doors unhitch themselves and open the door showing weapons design for humans or unicorn magic.

The Bon Bon sees me and the others opening a door that’s block off before and went to get the others. “Guy’s you have to see what James is doing.” She tells the others making everypony to see what’s going on with James. By the time they got there seeing James pulling a something that looks like a small canon with a scoop on it; putting shells inside whatever he got in his hands. “James, what is that thing in your hands there?” Lyra asks me making me stop what I doing? “This is something back in my world.” I answer her question cocking the weapon making a loud noise within itself scaring the four of them.

Vinyl sees one of them that she would made with her hooves and magic; a strange looking weapon with a record at the middle and three equalizer knobs at the back end of the weapon; a speaker at the front of it. “What is that?” She thought to herself using her magic to lift the odd-looking weapon hanging on the wall to get a better look at it. “Vinyl, what is that you got there?” Octavia asks her seeing the strange looking weapon. “I don’t know Octy, but it feels like seen this before.” She said out loud getting a closer look at it.

Pinky gets her confetti cannon ready to go while I get some more weapons that I might need for what’s coming. Destiny had never used a gun before but knows how to use a crossbow and a longbow many times before thanks to her father teaching her how to use them.

“Destiny?” I called her name to get her attention. “Yes dad what is it?” She asks me. “I never taught you how to use a gun except for the weapons I taught you when you were old enough to teach you.” I told her as she getting her crossbow ready. “I know you have your reasons and I like to thank you for showing me the way when I was younger and ready for them.” She tells me getting her arrow pouch and putting it on her back.

With my gun loaded and everyone else is ready for what about to happen. “Lyra, Bon Bon, and Octavia; I need you to get everypony on the ship while we hold off what about to come out there.” I told them as I get more shells and putting them inside a leather strap that’s on the gun itself; also a Clot 45 handgun with a few chips for it.

Meanwhile ponies get close to the strange looking airship that landed next to their town train station before hearing a voice coming from it. “Ponies of Dodge City there is something coming towards your town, it would be best for you to get on the ship before it too late.” A voice said out loud coming the ship out speakers making confuse until the ground underneath begins to shake making them scaring them a little.

Cherry and Trouble Shoes turn around to see what is coming towards them and their town, to see that it’s something big. “What is that?” Cherry ask herself looking off in the darken desert behind them; before turning back to the airship making loud noises of ramps being lower and doors being opened.

“James, what about you’re disguise?” Pinky asks me while I lower the ramps. “There is no time for it and ponies and other lifeforms are going to find out about my true form sooner or later.” I answer her question while grabbing my gun again and heading for one of the main doors showing the world of Equestria my true form for since coming back in time. “Here goes nothing.” I tell myself before opening the door to the outside world.

Ponies see a strange figure stepping out the ship holding what looks like a cannon in its hands wearing a blue suit, brown western hat, and black sunglasses. Behind him are other ponies and one that’s like not of this world that wore clothes like the unknown figure that stepped of the ship and gripping a crossbow in its hands; more like her hands.

“What are you?” One of the town’s folk asks me stepping toward from the crow. “I’m here to help and to save as many lives as possible.” I said out loud to the entire town answers his question while walking through crow of ponies before me and some of the others.

“Pinky?” Cherry thought to herself seeing for friend walking with the figure and other ponies that she doesn’t know. Seeing me walk a few more feet lifting the small cannon to my shoulder and taking aim into the darkness in front of me and firing the weapon with a loud bang making all but the ponies taking cover from the weapon I was carrying being fired.

Before hearing a scream of something in the darkness before seeing a 50ft scorpion running towards me and some town folk for an attack after being hit by my bullet. I cock my gun letting the used shell spit out of the side of the gun, sending it flying to the ground below. The gun was ready to use again, steady myself for the next shot aiming down the site of my scope before hitting the trigger, sending the bullet towards attacking scorpion hitting right in the sweat spot killing it instantaneously making it fall the ground hard making the falling beast slid towards us stopping only inches away from me.

“James you did. You saved them.” Vinyl tells me pocking at the scorpion with a metal poll to make sure that it’s dead. “No it isn’t, it ain’t over yet.” I said stepping over one of it claw and cocking my gun again sending another shell flying to the ground.

Cherry walks over to Pinky seeing her getting cannon ready to fire when she that that’s it is her but older somehow. “Cherry it’s good to see you again.” Pinky said to her friend giving her a hug, making her confuse on what going on. “Sorry, this whole time travel business is still a messy to get your mind behind.” Pinky tells her friend. “Time travel?” She questions herself. “Pinky, do you know whoever those two are?” She asks her looking at me and Destiny. “OOHHH. You mean my husband James and Daughter Destiny.” She answers her question making her questioning herself on why Pinky gets marry to this creature and gave birth to a hybrid as of that. “Cherry you there?” Pinky asks her friend trying to get attention from her thoughts at going through her head. “Best for you to get on James airship for your own safety.” She tells her friend seeing Trouble Shoes and other town folks getting on strange looking airship being leaded by other ponies that came with Pinky and her family.

Vinyl lift the weapon she got from the ship armory seeing how to use this thing. Then seeing the trigger next to the grip on the weapon thinking to herself. “That must be it.” She thought to see before using her magic on the trigger making the weapon charge up making all kind of noise before firing sound waves towards where it was aiming at; which was a nearby barrel destroying into a pile of sprinters. “Whole sweet Celestia; I like this weapon!” She said out loud.

I turn around on what made that noise to see Vinyl found out how to use the portable bass cannon or I better known as a dub-step gun. “Be careful on where you point that thing.” I tell her making her look at after I said that. “I’ll be careful James.” She tells me after finding out how to use the weapon that’s she holding with her magic.

Octavia, Lyra, and Bon Bon trying to get everypony on James’s airship. While me and the others when to check out the town for ponies that doesn’t know what’s going on.

I’m walking down main street seeing a cloud of dust off towards where Apple Loosa is. “I sure hope that Luna got there before the storm reach town.” I thought to myself before feeling the ground below me shack making take cover next to building seeing Destiny and Vinyl doing the same on the other side of the street. The shacking continue making a few used and near empty cider bottles getting knock over from the vibrations of something big coming towards them. Seeing another scorpion bigger than the one I killed just moments ago. I got on the shortwave to get a hold of Pinky. “Pinky what is your current location?” I into a small mic in my clot sleeve. “I’m on one of the street seeing our new friend in front of me.” She tells me making me look down the street seeing her in front and out of site of the scorpion. “I wantn’t be able to get a clean shot from where I’m at.” I told the others through the CB.

“What do you want to do?” Vinyl asks me. “Hang on, Pinky are canons set?” I ask my wife.

“Yes they are ready to go.” She tells me. “Good, we are going to need them to make distraction until I can get a clean shot. Vinyl, take the bass cannon and Pinky with the distraction. Destiny you’re with me to the rooftops to put down this beast.” I told them my plan. “That sounds good to me.” Vinyl said out loud before towards where Pinky is.

Destiny goes to the rooftop using her elemental powers to jump to the top while I have to use a nearby leader to reach the top. “Pinky is Vinyl with you?” I ask Pinky through the CB. “Yes she’s here.” She tells me. “Good you know what to do.” I give her the single to start the distraction.

Pinky presses a button with her hoof that’s hook up to the canons fire at the scorpion. Pissing it off a little attacking one of the canons destroying it with one of its claws. “Vinyl, I need a little bit of time to reload the canons.” Pinky tells her. “I cover you.” She said out loud running with the bass canon with her magic firing at the beast while Pinky goes to reload the canons as fast she can go before seeing me and Destiny running across the rooftops. Within the next 15 seconds the canons are ready to fire again. “Vinyl I’m good to go again!” Pinky shouts at her telling to get out of the way so Pinky could fire the canons again. Vinyl quickly gets out of the way while runs towards the button as fast as she could.

I’m running a fast I could to get into position to get a clean shot; while Destiny getting her crossbow ready to fire her supercharge arrows with her elemental power that I taught her years ago.

Pinky gets to the firing button, but look’s to see that Vinyl is safely out of way of the canons. She sees Vinyl in a safe distant away from the canons and hits the button again firing off the canons towards the scorpion pissing it off even more destroying another canon.

Destiny aims her crossbow at the scorpion as I get ready to firing at the beast as Vinyl firing at the scorpion with her weapon using the full blast off to get its attention back towards her so Pinky can reload the canon again. The scorpion starts using its tail to attack Vinyl missing with very strike.

“James, how it coming? Because I don’t know how much longer Vinyl can hold out before she gets hit by that tail.” Pinky tells me as she reloading one of the canons. “I’m in position and ready to fire I just waiting a clean shot.” I said out loud answering her question steadying myself to fire the shot.

I look through the scope seeing the weak spot and take fire sending the bullet towards where I aim it. It misses the weak spot hitting above it as the scorpion trying to attack Vinyl. “Damn.” I said out loud quickly reloading the gun sending the spent shell flying to the ground below where I’m standing.

Destiny sees that I miss the weak spot and aim her crossbow where the weak spot is and fires the supercharge arrow towards where the weak spot hitting it right dib in the middle sending 70,000 volts right into the brain; making a great dill of pain to the beast making it scream as loud it can go. Giving me the I dill shot for the bullet straight into the weak spot. I steady myself to a few seconds to fire the gun. I hit the trigger, firing the bullet towards the weak spot hitting right in the middle killing the scorpion sending the body towards ground hard. Vinyl hears the body hitting the ground behind her, making her turn around seeing the now dead body of the scorpion, breathing hard from ducking and dodging the scorpion tail attacks. “Are you alright there Vinyl?” Pinky asks her walking up towards her

Both me and Destiny made are way towards them. “What now?” Vinyl asks me. “There is one more scorpion out there but Pinky lost two of her canons and even with all the ammo that I bring with me are nearly sent taking these beast down.” I said out loud looking at my gun.

“What about the other weapon you got?” Pinky asks me making me think putting the rifle over my shoulder with it leather stripe mounted to the gun itself; getting the handgun out to get a better look at it. “Clot 45; good, but not good enough to take down a scorpion of that size. Even with the grenades that are on my belt.” I said answering her question.

“Grenades; what are those?” Vinyl asks me and the others. Making me put one of the grenades from my bait. “This.” I answer her question holding it my hand with the pin still inside. Vinyl use her magic to lift the grenade from my hand to get a closer look at it, which is small ball shape with a metal bar and a pin with a circle ring at one end. “How powerful is this thing?” She asks putting back in my hand with her magic. “Normally, I would show off what this can do. But with the danger we are in right now I can’t show you right now.” I said answering her question putting the grenade back on my belt with the others.

“Ok, Pinky get the remaining canons back to ship. We’re leaving.” I gave the order to the group. “Sure thing honey.” She tells me, getting the remaining working canons ready to go.

“Destiny, go help your mother with the canons?” I ask her. “You got it dad.” She tells me walking to her mother to help out with the remaining canons.

“Vinyl you’re with me giving them enough time, so we all can get back to the ship.” I told her getting ready to roll myself check on how mighty shells I got left before heading out to check the nearby building.

Back at the ship ponies from the city just finish get themselves aboard. Octavia, Lyra, and Bon Bon hears the fire from Pinky canons and Vinyl bass canon going off in the distance. “I sure hope that Vinyl is alright?” Octavia thought to herself looking off in the distance of the city before hearing something off in the distance. She was about to run towards the group when she another roar from those creatures out that they are fighting with.

The fighting when on for what felt like forever; until the sound stop just as soon it started. Octavia with a worry look of fear on her face looking at where the sound of gun fire and sounds of the creature the group were fighting.

Moments go by; Octavia gets worry enough that she couldn’t take it anymore and start running towards where the sound of Pinky’s canon fire and Vinyl bass canon used to be. When she gets there she sees the body of the creature the other were fighting moments ago lying dead on the ground. “Oh my Celestia.” She said out loud getting closer to the body before hearing footstep on the other side of the body. She quickly walks around the falling creature to see Pinky and Destiny there packing up the remaining canons. “Octavia what are you doing here? You be back at the ship with the others.” I ask her getting her attention seeing me and Vinyl on lookout duty.

“I sorry James; I got worry about Vinyl and her safety.” She tells the reason behind her actions leaving the ship. “I’m both disappointed and grateful that you came. Because we are going to need help getting the canons back to the ship; But with two of the scorpions dead and one more still out there.” I told her what is going through my mind.

“James, we’re ready to go.” Pinky said out loud getting my attention. “Good.” I answer out.

“Octavia, get hoke up to one of the remaining canons while me and Vinyl take point and look out for the other scorpion that’s still out there.” I order her; Meanwhile Destiny changes her form back to her pony form. Octavia and Vinyl remember the other said that she can change her form between pony, human, and her hybrid form. But seeing her transform being performed before their eyes for the first time ever.

Moments later everypony and myself are ready to move out to the ship. Octavia and Pinky are hitches up to one of the remaining canons while Destiny with help of her elemental power is hitched up to three canons. “Destiny you got this right?” I ask her before heading back to the ship. “Yes I got this even without my powers and just going off my earth pony straight alone.” She tells me getting the straps adjusted to make it easier for her to pull the canons she hitches up to. After a second or two we got underway back towards the ship. Octavia and Pinky are in the middle of the pack while Destiny takes up the rear, she kelp a good pace with them. As for me and Vinyl were scouting ahead for that scorpion that still out there.

After what felt like forever the group got the ship without running into the last scorpion; where Lyra and Bon Bon waiting for us. “It good to see the five of you again.” Lyra tells us as I when towards a button underneath the second ramp. Making a lot of noise from the ship lowering a platform for the canons can be loaded so we won't have to go through the ship to the cargo bay and armory. “Lyra is everypony is on board?” I ask her lower the platform the ground floor. “Yes they are. Is there anypony still in the city?” She asks me. “I far I can tell. The city is deserted with only two dead scorpions and one still out there. But from the noise, the platform is making can easily bring the beast towards the ship. So we need to be on are way before he show up and destroy the ship and everypony on board.” I said answering her question when the platform finally touches the desert ground.

Cherry and Trouble Shoes as well other ponies hears something that sounds like metal beast attacking the ship. Before finding a nearby window seeing us and me lowering a metal platform; It when on for a moment or too it stop.

“We don’t have much time before the scorpion comes running towards the ship. So get those canons on the platform and get yourself onboard.” I order the group. Octavia and Pinky quickly gets their canons onto the platform without any problem. Destiny was a different story with her canons she was towing on the platform. The canons weren’t getting to position the first two canons. “Destiny what’s the problem with your canons?” I ask her. “Dad I have to do this one at a time on the platform so we can close with it getting jam and damaging one of the canons.” She answers my question. With help from me and the other the canons got into the right position prevent the platform from jamming I recall it.

I hit the recall button on the platform after everypony as cleared the platform making a lot of noise again as the platform being recalled back into the ship itself with the remaining canons. Destiny changes back to her true form. Before the group gets aboard through the second ramp, I quickly get myself towards the bridge with the gun still in my hand. Pinky and Destiny follow a fast they can go towards the guns located next to the bridge. I open the bridge door putting my rifle on a hanging rack before getting at the controls starting the engines making more noise than the platform ever then. Nearly a min or so later the noise from the engine as clam down from being started up. I hear a noise coming from outside that’s not coming from the ship itself. I got the coms to the guns control room. “Pinky, get the guns ready to fire. Because we are going to have company sooner than we think.” I gave the order through coms. Both Pinky and Destiny fire up the Gatling guns and the 50 caliber canons controls panels. “Come on mom, you done this before and it my first time with the real thing.” Destiny said putting her hand on her hoof calming her nerves a little from not having done this for over a year a now.

The cameras on the guns light up on the motors in the control room, showing the last of scorpions running towards the ship. Destiny gets the Gatling guns to train it crosshairs on the beast coming to attack the ship. She hit the trigger sending a wave of bullets at the beast; Making it scream at the top its lungs before using one of it claws to take cover from the barrage of bullets being fire at it. Pinky sees that Destiny training by James and the summations as pay off in the long run when is to use them. She gets on the 50 caliber canon controls lining up her crosshairs to the leak spot located between the eyes. She hoofs the trigger firing the canon towards the weak spot.

The bullet fly’s through the air towards the scorpion, the beast lowers its claw making the bullet having a clear shot hitting the weak spot dead on. Making the scorpion scream for the last time; Before hitting the ground hard killing the beast making a bloody mess on the desert floor below. Destiny releases the trigger stopping the Gatling guns leaving only smoke from the barrels. Both of them relieve the tension from fighting the last scorpion.

The engines finally warm back up sending power to the panels making electricity around the panels. I got the intercom; “Lyra retract the boarding ramps.” I order her through the intercom. Lyra gets on the controls to retract the ramps used by everypony to get on board the ship. With only a few seconds later the ramps are up and retracted Lyra get on coms to the bridge. “James the ramps are up and we are ready to go.” She tells me. “Good very good.” I answer her before getting on the control taking off the ground making the ship shack at little from getting off the desert ground below. I hit the switch for the landing gear and bring them back into the ship. Both Pinky and Destiny comes from the guns controls to the bridge seeing me piloting the ship and making a heading towards Ponyville.

Elsewhere back on the train tracks outside of Apple Loosa Luna sees the strange looking ship of the saver of Canterlot taking off from Dodge City heading back towards Ponyville. “There they go again.” Luna said out loud looking out of the window seeing the light from the panels from the strange looking ship, making Chrysalis to look out the window seeing the ship as well before thinking out loud. “James, you have done so much already for everyone in Equestria.” “I know what you mean there. Even the stuff I have done now from what I had from the time I was Nightmare Moon.” Luna response after what Chrysalis just said before feeling a jolt from the train surprising them both. Luna get on the intercom to the driver; “What’s going on up there?” She asks them, quickly getting a repose. “Princess, the sandstorm is clearing enough to get underway towards the train station in Apple Loosa.” The driver answering her question; making both of them look out of the window seeing the sandstorm outside dying down before going away all together leaving only the darken ski above.

Moments later the train whistle going off, slowing itself down enough for a smooth stop into the station. When both of them got off the train to see the town is covered up with sand from the storm and seeing metal carts and other things that looks from the world James told to them about earlier today. Ponies and buffalos start coming out of the shelters seeing what just has happened to the city. Braeburn and the buffalo that no choice to take cover at his home from the sandstorm seeing nothing but dust covering everything from the buildings and the strange looking metal wagons and stone statues of a hairless money; a one with a dog for a head on top something that walks on its back legs. “What in the name of Equestria is going on?” Braeburn thought to himself looking at one of the metal wagons the appeared next to his house, before hearing what sound like a train whistle going off before pulling into the station.

The group quickly get themselves why a train is coming to see Princess Luna and Queen Chrysalis there at the station with a train that’s big enough to get everypony on board. Both of them walk over to one of the stone statues seeing the same symbols at the base of the statue that’s on the Piece of Omega. “Princess, what are you doing here?” Braeburn asks her. “To get everypony back to Ponyville for you’re owned safely; because whatever just happened here is happening all over Equestria.” Luna answers his question making him regret asking. “I know, I’ve seen the news before it when out this morning.” He said out loud making Strongheart walk next to him try to lift is spirts again.

“It alright.” She said making him take off is hat and take a deep breath lease the tension of what’s going through his mind right now; the sheriff come walking towards them to ask the princess why she brings a train that’s clearly from Filly Delphia not anywhere else in Equestria.

“Princess Luna, what are you doing here?” He asks her looking a little confess before seeing the statues and metal cart that just appeared in their great city out of nowhere. “What in the name of Celestia is going on here?” He said out loud seeing what is going right in front of his eyes before falling over of state of shock. Luna runs towards him to see if he’s alright; she uses her magic to check quickly to feel for a heartbeat. Lucky it is still beating but its beating too fast to make him fall to the ground.

“Chrysalis, get everypony on the train as fast you can.” Luna tells her making get everypony to that already at the train station on board with the help of the Chief Thunderhoofs and the train drivers. Within the matter of moment’s everypony but Luna, Braeburn, and Braveheart trying to get the Sheriff to the train. With the things kelp getting worst for the Sheriff and his heartbeat passing out every few seconds of opening his eyes to see what going on.

“Sheriff, come on stay awake long enough to get on the train. Then you let you sleep as long you want during the ride back to Ponyville.” Braeburn tells him trying to him awake. For what felt like forever the group gets on the train. Braeburn and Luna put the Sheriff on a nearby empty seat so he can get comfortable so he sleep through the ride back to Ponyville.

The whistle goes off then a quick jolt the train gets on its way back towards Ponyville. Luna sits down on an empty next to the window shutting her eyes to try to talk with James in the Dreamscape.
