[Yaaah, back to ponies.]

The ponies slept peaceful through the day and night. Through exhaustion they had slept deeply and were protected by the two princesses and Celestia's guard, though no danger appeared. Fluttershy awoke to ponies packing up. Though she didn't know where princess Celestia's guard or the carriages came from but she didn't question it. She was just happy to leave the forest. She missed angel and hand was pretty stressed from everything that had happened.

"Oh, Fluttershy. Your awake." Twilight said. "Sorry if we had woken you up. Good news is we're leaving the forest soon." She continued with a happy smile. Twilight wanted to get out of the forest just as much as the rest.

"Its ok Twilight, you didn't wake me up." Fluttershy said as she got up. Her legs hurt from all the walking but not that much.

"Wait, why are we leaving. We haven't found anything other than Siege and...." Fluttershy stopped talking as Siege walked up to her. He had his hood off and was smiling at her. For some odd reason, Fluttershy was happy to see Siege but she had no idea why.

"Its nice to see your awake." Siege said. "I hope you slept better then I have." It had taken Siege almost all night to find the camp and only got about a half an hour of sleep. He yawned and Fluttershy got a good look at his teeth.

She had never seen teeth like that before. It was like teeth from all different kinds of animals had all found there places. The first pairs of teeth looked like that of some rare fish that would use there teeth to slice through there prey. There were four on the top jaw and 4 on the lower. The next pairs where pointed like that of a dog only small. Right after the pointed teeth came some teeth that looked like a mix between the pointy ones and grinders. The further back in the mouth the more flat the teeth became.

"Say..... uuuum Siege... What do you eat....? Fluttershy asked hesitatingly.

"Well just about everything. Just about any kind of meat, fish, fruits, vegetables. Really i guess it matters more on whether or not I like it but i rarely don't like any kind of food.

Fluttershy gave him a fearful look. Siege started laughing. "Don't worry, the last thing I'm gonna do is eat you, your friends, or any of your pets." He said trying to control himself. "Speaking of food, when was the last time I ate." Siege said finally after  calming down.

He didn't need to eat because his suit would preform a kind of artificial photosynthesis and absorb the needed vitamins and minerals from his surroundings. He could even stop breathing if he wanted to. Eating was a luxury to him but he could still feel hunger from time to time.

"If your hungry then you could have an apple. We have some left."   Fluttershy said. "You do eat apples..... right?"

"Yes I do and thank you." Siege replied. It amused him to see Fluttershy's reactions. "Come to think of it. This place is strangely like earth. The plant and animal life is close to the same. Except for a lot of the things living in this forest and of course, the unicorns and pegasi."

"Earth....? Whats that." Fluttershy asked.  

"Oh Earth, thats where I come from. Siege replied. Fluttershy felt a rush or air come past her only to see Twilight sitting next to her with a huge smile. For Twilight it was one thing to read about the origins of cities or animals, but to have a strange new alien creature tell her was something she could only dream of.

Fluttershy flinched at Twilight reaction but didn't let out a squeak or jump away. She was really getting so control over it.

Siege gave a confused look and continued. "Anyways, Earth is the planet I'm from and is the home planet of all humans. Did I forget to tell you I'm human? I can't remember..."

Twilight's smile had somehow grown even larger. "What is it like on earth?"

"Well to be honest I don't know to well for myself, I have spent most of my time training in space stations or in battle far from earth but I will tell you what I know. From what I have heard most there still cleaning the place up. The last war earths seen had some very devastating affects and we have spent generations trying to heal the planet. A buildings are found deep underground as in to keep from affecting the outside world and is has been doing good healing. Mother nature really always seems to find a way but a little help never hurt."  

Twilight was still smiling but had a bit of a blank look. She was a little bit confused and disturbed how Siege was able to talk so openly about war. Talk of war on Equestria was very rare and was handled very carefully. Even in all the books she hand war was rarely spoken of and most all details were left out.

She work up the courage to ask about it. "What is war like.....?" She asked Siege.

Siege looked at the expression of Twilight's face and smiled abit. "I'm glad you know so little about it... I would rather not tell you or at least wait until all the commotion is over. What I will say on the matter for now is that war can be very bad and good at the same time. It destroys lives and takes them away but at the same time makes new ones and urges people to live on."

Twilight frowned a little but understood. Siege smiled a little but Twilight could easily see the sorrow in his eyes so didn't even think about asking further.

Meanwhile Fluttershy was tearing up. The look of sorrow in Siege's eyes had gotten to her and she was trying to fight the urge to cry. Siege walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't cry for me please. I would rather you be strong for me than pity me." He said with a smile.

Fluttershy calmed herself and took a few deep breaths when a sudden realization hit her. "How can you understand Siege?!"   She said explosively only to take a few shy steps back of considering what she had just done.

"Oh that, you know what Siege had done to princess Luna? Well Siege did that with us and princess Celestia too." Twilight told fluttershy, trying to hold back some pent up reaction of excitement. "He didn't do it with the guards though. I don't know why yet though but I heard is was for some safety reasons."

It didn't take to long to pack everything up and everything was being set up on the carriages. Luna would lead her and Celestia's guard out of the area by foot but the mane 6 and Siege would be transported by the flying carriages straight to canterlot. Or at least thats what Celestia wanted.

"I don't want to be ungrateful or anything but I would rather travel on foot. Don't worry though, I don't think I should have any problem keeping up with those carriage things anyways."

Celestia looked at Siege with a look as if she thought he was crazy. In fact, he was a little crazy but not someone who lied about such things. "I you sure you want to do that?" She asked.

"Don't worry about me." Siege said in reply. "I have had to do worse things than this."

Suddenly Rainbow Dash popped up from behind one of the carriages. She had clearly been listening on there little talk.

"We could make it a race!!" She yelled out. "Once where out of the forest you can already see Canterlot so I don't think you could get lost."

"Canterlot.... where have I heard that before? Oh well, thats not important. A race would sound great." Siege said in reply. He needed a little bit of friendly competition for once.

"Don't think I will go easy on you though just cause your new!" Rainbow yelled out.

"You won't have to." Siege replied. He was starting to be a bit hyped out himself.

"Well in that case, I guess we will see you at Canterlot." Twilight ended.

Once the carriages started moving Siege and Rainbow Dash started there race. At first Rainbow thought it would be easy. "There no way he can beat me. He doesn't even have wings and he think he can out race the fastest pony in Equestria!" She thought to herself but was quickly proven otherwise. Siege moved with great speed through the forest never slowing down. He didn't have to use any suit energy on any modes other than speed and sometimes he had to increase his strength here and there so he could avoid the trees and such but was so efficient about it that he would probably not need to stop.

It didn't take long for the two to reach the edge of the forest. Only Ponyville and grasslands stood between them and Canterlot. Siege slowed down to give Rainbow Dash the lead to see which city she was flying to and he quickly saw it. It was a city connected to the side of a large mountain. Even from here he could see the beauty of the city. Though he still felt like he had heard the name Canterlot somewhere before and now also thought he had seen it before but he didn't dwell on it too long. He had slowed down and Rainbow Dash was gaining distance. He no longer needed strength mode and quickly regained the lost distance.

Meanwhile Rainbow Dash was flying at near max speed doing her best not to tire as she flew. She couldn't believe that Siege was able to keep up so easily. She had never seen anything like it before. Not even Siege believed it. He had ran before but never this fast or long but now was not the time to try to understand and explain it. There was a race to been won.

Both racers had almost reached the Ponyville and Siege had to change tactics. Once the the first buildings started coming He quickly jumped and using his hooked blade got on top of the buildings, jumping from building to building in order to avoid the public.

As he jumped the ponies looked on in awe watching Rainbow Dash and the strange creature speed through the village. Most  didn't even realize anything had happened at all. It didn't take long to get through the village. Both Siege and Rainbow were getting tired but kept on going.

About half way through they decided to take a break and talk a little bit.

"You really are a fast little pony, Rainbow Dash." Siege said. "I never thought that anything your size could move so fast for so long."

"Well I am the fastest flyer in Equestria. I'm the only pony to every make a sonic rainboom, twice!" Rainbow Dash replied proudly.

"I don't want to sound weird or anything, but what is a sonic rainboom?"

"You don't know what a sonic rainboom is?!? Its when you go so fast and just happened to be colored like me you make a sonic boom and a rainbow at once!"

"Care to show me?"

"Well I kinda only managed it by luck... What about you, can you do anything special like that?"

"Well I don't know about a rainbow but I have broken the sounds barrier before, wanna see?"

"Sure, that would be awesome." Rainbow dash ended there little chat as Siege stood up.

Siege calmed himself completely relaxing all his his muscles and taking some very deep breathes. He breathed in deeply, filling his lungs completely and the released all his energy. he took to steps forward and was already in a full out sprint. after about 2 seconds a loud bang was heard and there was dust flying around everywhere. Siege was only able to keep running for about 6 seconds before slowing down and collapsing. Even though he had only ran for about 10 or 12 seconds but have already covered a huge distance.

It took awhile for Rainbow Dash to find Siege.

Siege sat up when he saw Rainbow Dash and yelled to her.

"Over here Rainbow."

Rainbow Dash saw him and landed next to him.

"So how was it?" Siege asked.

"That was great. I've never seen anything like it, how do you do it anyways?" Rainbow asked.

"Well all I really did was relax myself and store up as much physical energy as I could then release it all at once. It gave me enough speed to pop right through the sound barrier but only for a moment."

"Maybe I should try that some next time I practice.

Both of them sat there for a while and waited on any sigh of the princesses and the carriages. It gave them a long time to rest and prepare for the final stretch to Canterlot.

"What do you do outside of helping your princesses and race Rainbow? Siege asked.

"Well I'm head of the weather patrol in ponyville." Rainbow answered.

"That being?"

"Wow you really don't know a lot about Equestria."

Rainbow explained to Siege about how the ponies would take care of the animals and weather. She also talked about how the princesses controlled the sun and the moon. Siege found this strange considering that the planet have a normal path around the sun as well as there moon around the planet. The one thing he did find that was odd was the irregular rotation of the planet. It might of tricked the princesses into thinking that they where moving then sun and moon when they where really just moving the planet, which on its own was still very special.

In return he explained things about the universe, though keeping a lot secret. He talked about the 3 nations and there specialties not once mentioning war or fighting. He did however explain about the strange energy and way to control it. He talked about how he had been stuck in his chamber and what he did to pass time.

After a quick nap Siege awoke to Rainbow shaking him. "There they are we need to hurry and start the race again." Rainbow was partially yelling but trying to be a little quiet as in not to startle him or anything.

Siege stood up, stretched and prepared for more running. The ponies in the carriages passed overhead and waved. Siege and Rainbow waved back smiling and started the race once more. This time the on other ponies were clearly able to see Siege and Rainbow Dash moving. Once both human and pony had gotten to a good speed the other ponies mouths dropped. They rarely saw Rainbow moving at such a speed but Siege was easily able to catch up it seemed.

"I never new land animals could move at such speeds." Twilight said watching closely The thing that surprised her even more was the fact that Siege was making long strides instead of quick leg movements. This means that he was not even going at full speed but rather trying to maintain his speed. She wondered if Rainbow was doing the same thing or not. Its harder to tell with pegasi because you can't keep track of wing movements at such speeds.

Rainbow flew over to Siege. "We are almost there, lets make this last part a sprint." Rainbow said.

Siege nodded as Rainbow dash went back up. Siege prepared himself for the sprint as Rainbow Dash started raising her height. She was going to try and do what Siege had said to break the sound barrier and Siege saw this. Both of them focused and started slowing down a bit focusing all there energy into one last burst of energy. Twilight and the rest watched, wondering why they had slowed down.

Both Rainbow and Siege looked at each other for a second and nodded. Suddenly two large bangs where heard and a large blast of air hit the carriages shaking them violently. Rainbows ears where ringing from the sound and looked back slightly to see if she and succeeded. Behind her she saw a colorful rainbow behind her. She smiled proudly. "I need to thank Siege for this later." She thought to herself.

The other ponies mouths opened wider than ever before. The only one who was not looking in awe was princess Celestia who just smiled slightly. "Motivation and help leads to great things." She thought.

Both Siege and Rainbow started losing speed and fast but where able to make to the steps of Canterlot before taking the chance to sit down. A couple minutes later the carriages showed up and the ponies got out.

"Do who won?" Twilight asked

"We decided that it was a tie." Rainbow replied.

"I can't believe you where able to do a sonic rainboom but how did you manage it? Didn't you need to be going almost straight down to pull it off?"

Rainbow looked at Siege and looked back. "Lets just say a got some good advice." Which was basically true.

Princess Celestia walked up to the ponies who had all stood around Rainbow and Siege. "You have some time to looked around the city before our meeting starts. Me and Luna have to prepare. Siege you can look around to if you don't mind some strange or fearful looks inside."

"Thats fine with me. I've been getting strange look since I got her anyways. I wonder what they have to eat." He said smiling.

The 7 walked around the city and just as Celestia said Siege got a lot of looks with mixed reactions. Some ponies just stared, others looked away and tried to avoid Siege whilst some just ran away. The guards stationed around the city kept a good eye on him as they looked around. Siege saw a very high tower up ahead and walked towards it.

"I wonder what  it would be like to look down on the city from there..." He said to himself.

"If you want we can ask if we can go to the top." Twilight said. Her words had gone unheard though as Siege was already making his way up the side of the tower.

"You're not aloud to do that!!" She yelled to him. She was lying though, there where no rules about climbing on and around buildings mainly because it was near impossible to do but Siege on the other hand with his fingers and hooked blades scaled the building as if it was nothing.  

He reached the top and just stood there for a  moment. He could see almost the entire city from here and could even see a few cities and villages in the distance. This would not be a moment he would forget any time soon.

"You have to get down from there!!" Twilight yelled at the top of her lungs. Siege looked down to see the tiny pony yelling at him. He laughed and jumped down. Twilight and the others held there breath for a moment as he fell.

"Could you please not do that kind of stuff anymore." Fluttershy asked. Her heart seemed to stop for a moment as he fell.

"For you, sure." Siege replied with a little grin.

They continued looking around and then got some food. Siege was surprised to see just how many sweets and cakes that were sold but decided to get something simple instead. He bought a blueberry muffin and sat down with the others. He thanked Applejack for the money he had lent to get it. The little Pink pony that he had learned was name Pinkie Pie came of the store with tons of cakes and cupcakes. She finished everything faster than Siege finished his muffin.

He wondered how she was able to eat so much and where in the word the ponies kept there money. They didn't have and bags on them and he could seen no other place where the could have other than there mane. He came up with a simple answer. "Its magic." He didn't know how they did it any decided to leave it at that.

They finished there food and started walking to the castle. Siege hoped that the princesses and ponies wouldn't ask to much. He would rather they live in an ignorant bliss than hear what was going on outside of there little planet.

The princesses where waiting for them as they reached the doors of the castle. They lead him and the little ponies to a small room.

"Let the questioning begin." Princess said with serious look.
