The soldier looked at Apple Bloom. He was smiling but the armored visor made it hard to discern his facial expression. "What do you want?" he asked.

----------------

Captain Carson had just finished chewing out the two living planes. She placed her gifts on one of the repulsorsleds. "Well, who should I speak to with regards to what we should do with-"

"We need medical attention!" a voice shouted.

Captain Carson and everyone present turned to see one of the ODIN troopers carrying an unconscious soldier and another soldier. Only the conscious soldier had his weapon.

"What happened?" Deimos said.

The ODIN trooper took off his helmet, revealing that "he" was actually a woman. "We were exploring the forest when-"

"The Everfree Forest!? What were you thinking!? That place is incredibly dangerous!" Twilight Sparkle shouted.

"Well we needed to explore the planet so we headed into the forest. But there, we met a group of ponies who captured us and tried to sell us but we managed to escape." She decided not to tell them that they had probably killed their kidnappers.

Twilight levitated the unconscious soldier. "I'll need to take this creature to Fluttershy."

"Who's that?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.

"She is an animal caretaker. Since your physiology appears to be markedly different from that of a pony, she's a better choice than the local doctor's clinic."

This explanation satisfied the group who let Twilight take the unconscious soldier away.

-------------------

Ms. Swimmer clenched her hands, causing the bracelets she was wearing to activate and arcs of electricity to crackle across her fists. "I think we should be on our guard around that area."

The other ODIN trooper nodded.

--------------------

"Fluttershy!" Twilight called. "One of the aliens was hurt by somepony in the Everfree Forest."

She then gently deposited the soldier, who was wearing a full suit of powered armor that concealed his face and all parts of his body, on the ground.

(ooc: It's Sweetie Belle. Apple Bloom's back with Scootaloo at the moment)

Sweetie Belle still smiled at the soldier as she spoke up to him "Well, me and my friends were just wondering if, other than riding in your dune buggy, if you have anything else that we could do to help out"

***

Fluttershy gasped as she looked to Aimee "I'll be right back" she smiled to her before she headed off to go and see what it was that Twilight did want.

She looked at Twilight when she mentioned the aliens again "But Twilight, I'm only used to taking care of sick and injured animals, not aliens" she tried to explain to her friend as she looked at the injured soldier, then to Twilight again.

***

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo however, had decided to try a different approach in getting their cutie marks as they approached the shuttles with the two fillies poking their heads inside.

"So, how do you suppose these work?" Apple Bloom asked her friend.

Scootaloo thought for a second as she jumped inside before looking to Apple Bloom "Well, I'm not sure, but I suppose we can always have a look around, you know, just wing it"

Apple Bloom sighed "Like that time you kissed me?" she grinned a little, only for Scootaloo to roll her eyes at that.

"No, not like that time, and that was an accident!" Scootaloo groaned as Apple Bloom entered the shuttle as well.

"Sure it was" Apple Bloom grinned again as she sat down.

Myrdinn watched as Twilight Sparkle ran off with the wounded person. "Shouldn't she have asked if they have their own doctor before she ran off?"

Spike shrugged, "I do hope the person will ok. Fluttershy has great bedside manner. Though she is very shy too."

---

"I wonder where she's running off to." Magnum said watching Twilight run off in the distance as he walked into the area.

Serris · **Reply #464 on:** January 26, 2012, 02:16:21 AM

(OOC - No shuttles, just two hover tanks, two dune buggies, two armored personnel carriers and two repulsorsleds <hovering platform used to transport large amounts of cargo or troops>)

Ms. Swimmer saw the two fillies inside one of the APCs. She walked up to them. "Excuse me, but this is no place for curious children," she said as she gently shooed the away from the vehicle.

------------------------

"You'll need to speak to Stripetail or Captain Carson about that," the soldier said, putting his feet on the dashboard.

------------------------

Twilight sighed. "Fluttershy, I don't know if they have anypony with medical training with them. All of them appear to be soldiers. All we can try is either the vet or you because their physiology is so different from us."

The unconscious soldier stirred and sat up with a groan. "What happened?" he asked. The whirring of the suit's motors could be heard as he pulled himself into a sitting position.

She then galloped off to Stripetail. "Sorry, Stripetail but one of your soldiers was found unconscious by another one. Fluttershy will be treating the soldier. As for anything strange, no. I haven't seen anything strange in the sky except for your ship."

Sara looked around from where she was. "All I can see is what looks like a sea serpent." She says, seeing the one from the season 1 pilot.

"Is she a licensed multi species doctor? " Magnum asked.

"or use a simple healing spell, like in my copy of a book of spells an ancestor of mine named Helyes wrote long ago. " Myrdinn said.

(ooc: Got the name from the king arthur myths. had to look up how to exactly spell his name. He was a clerk who had a book that only he could cast spells from, and he did so at least once in the myths.)

MrDrake · **Reply #466 on:** January 26, 2012, 03:58:24 AM

(ooc: Ah right, sorry, got a bit mixed up was all, they'll be in the APC then)

"I wasn't kissing Scootaloo!" Apple Bloom blurted out as Scootaloo rolled her eyes "Er, I mean...we were just...."

"We were just having a look around is all, we weren't going to touch anything" Scootaloo finished off for Apple Bloom as she glared at her friend slightly as well.

***

"But...." Fluttershy started as Twilight ran off. She in turn, looked at the soldier with what just seemed to be a pale expression upon her face in the end.

***

Sweetie Belle shook her head at the soldier "Well, we did kinda get told off by I think it was Captain Carson, and Stripetail....I don't think he'd want us to help...." she trailed off a little as she jumped into the dune buggy next to the soldier, still looking at him "Please?"

Serris · **Reply #467 on:** January 26, 2012, 09:43:53 PM

"Captain Carson was mad because you got into her dune buggy without permission. Not to mention you nearly destroyed a very expensive vehicle," the soldier said. "And if you want to help, you need to speak to those two as they are in command."

---------------

"Can you help me?" the soldier asked Fluttershy. He tried to pull himself to a standing position. Luckily, the suit's servomotors helped him out but he was still weak from the aftereffects of the spell.

---------------

Ms. Swimmer shook her head. "I know but this isn't a place for children to play around in.

---------------

Twilight Sparkle looked around. "Well, how about you enjoy yourselves in the town?" she said to Stripetail.

Nick22 · **Reply #468 on:** January 26, 2012, 11:17:44 PM

well thank you. I suppose we'll just have to wait a few days until we can meet with Celestia" stripetail shrugged " just show us arund the area and point us to any of the your worlds interesting places, that we might stop to visit..
_ agumon and Agumina walked alongside Stripetail, both were still wearing thier armor.\, they were more interested in the ponies than anything..

Kor · **Reply #469 on:** January 26, 2012, 11:42:04 PM

"Both of the Princesses live in their castle in Canterlot. Should I send a message summarizing what happened here and asking Princess Celestia to come here." Spike asked Twilight SParkle as he looked at her.

"And to bring Princess Luna if she wants to come along." Myrdinn said.

Serris · **Reply #470 on:** January 27, 2012, 12:54:51 AM

"Please do so," Twilight said to Spike. She then turned to Stripetail. "Well there's Cloudsdale which is a city made of clouds. Unfortunately, only Pegasi can land there but since you are a mage, you should be able to cast a cloudwalking spell. Of course, any flyers can reach that area as well. There's Minnineighpolis, the high-tech center of Equestria."

She then took a breath. "As for attractions in town. We've got Sweet Apple Acres - home of the best apples in Equestria; Sugarcube Corner - a small but legendary bakery and Carosual Boutique - a clothing store. But feel free to explore!"

Captain Carson sighed as Rarity's store was mentioned.

Zachary's stomach growled so he decided to head to the nearest resturaunt. It was then he realized he had no money. "S---! I forgot! We don't have any money!"

MrDrake · **Reply #471 on:** January 27, 2012, 02:20:33 AM

"I already did....please, please, please can you give me something to do?" Sweetie Belle begged the soldier as she just sat there, looking at him still.

***

Fluttershy looked at the injured soldier still "But I don't know how to...." she started as she looked the soldier over before she got an idea and took off without a word, heading to her cottage to go and retrieve a few things without telling anyone else.

***

"But we're not playing" Scootaloo feigned a smile to Mrs. Swimmer "Just....exploring"

"Isn't that the same thing?" Apple Bloom quietly asked her friend.

"Shh" Scootaloo quickly hushed Apple Bloom back as she still looked to Mrs. Swimmer "We wont touch anything, we promise"

Kor · **Reply #472 on:** January 27, 2012, 02:22:14 AM

"ok." Spike said. He quickly took out a quill, and took a scroll from the saddlebag Myrdinn had and started to write a summary of events that happened recently, the living plans, and strange looking visitors and what some of them said, especially Stripetail, mentioning that she, and maybe her sister Princess Luna, may want to meet with Stripetail since he seemed to be the leader, or one of them. Once he was done he put his quill away, and scanned the scroll to be sure he had the important details. Then he rolled up the scroll and used a puff of his dragonfire to send it to Princess Celestia.

-----

Magnum listened to a telepathic message from Jason. "I have a pound of gold and some diamonds, if those are worth anything here, so I can pay for any food or snacks folks want." Myrdinn said, speaking for Jason, who had some of that in his pockets. Find it handy to carry all sorts of stuff in his pockets, including gold and diamonds, emeralds, ect.

MrDrake · **Reply #473 on:** January 27, 2012, 03:25:25 AM

(Canterlot)

With no ponies listening to Hailey, she was starting to get desperate as she ignited herself in flames. She looked to the side for a moment before she fired a fireball at one of the buildings in order to get their attention. Though it only sent the ponies into a state of panic, she fired a few more fireballs to in turn, stop the ponies from escaping her.

"Listen, I don't have time to play games right now, Chongs needs help in getting the ship all fixed so we can get off this planets and you lot are going to help us achieve that!" Hailey finally yelled out in the end as the ponies froze in place, her eyes narrowing at them before pointing in the direction of the ship "Now march" she ordered.

The ponies gulped and decided that it was best to listen and turned, marching off towards where Chong's ship had crash landed. Hailey just sighed a bit "Intimidation....didn't want to have to resort to that, but I guess I had no choice in the end"

But as the ponies started to march, the Wonderbolts themselves had shown up to stop her from terrorizing Canterlot. Her gaze shifted to them as her eyes followed them "And now ponies in spandex....brilliant...." she groaned before she fired a fireball in their general direction, trying to hit them followed by more fireballs, doing what she could to keep the Wonderbolts away.

Kor · **Reply #474 on:** January 27, 2012, 03:57:30 AM

Spike put his hands in front of his mouth as his cheeks puffed out suddenly.

"Feel sick or ...?" Myrdinn started to say, not having seen Spike do this before, unlike some other ponies who had.

Spike then let out a loudish belch and a burst of green fire, then a scroll was visible on the ground in front of him. He bent over to grasp the scroll and opened it.

"That was fast. Let's see what Princess Celestia has to say." Spike said as he opened the scroll.

"My faithful student Twilight. I wonder if you and your friends can look into a problem that is going in on Canterlot. There appears to be someone named Hailey who has been reported to be throwing fire around, and is forcing ponies to do her will, making them all go away from Canterlot somewhere. I have dispatched the Wonderbolts to look into the problem. " Spike said. "Sounds like some unicorn gone mad."

(ooc: Not sure if I Got the letter done well. If the person who is doing Twilight sparke would rather get and read the scroll I'm happy to edit my post so she gets it instead of Spike. )

MrDrake · **Reply #475 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:05:29 AM

Aimee's ears flickered at that name as her eyes widened. She rushed over to Spike and snatched the letter from him to read it over again "How do they even know it's her? Unless she's been introducing herself to some of the ponies....but then, why would she....?" she trailed off as she looked to Spike "Where is Canterlot from here? I gotta go and look into this"

Kor · **Reply #476 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:34:11 AM

"It's over that way, about ...." Spike pointed and then gave some directions. "But you can't go there alone." He said.

MrDrake · **Reply #477 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:53:19 AM

Aimee looked in the direction that Spike had pointed in before she nodded to Spike "Thanks, I'll handle it from here" she turned and rushed over to one of the dune buggys, looking at the soldier occupying it "Out, now, I need this"

"Sorry ma'am, but I-" the soldier started, only for Aimee to grab him and pull him out herself.

"Sorry, don't have time to argue" Aimee told the soldier as she jumped in and started the dune buggy up and headed off without another word to boot, heading in the direction of Canterlot.

***

(Canterlot)

The Wonderbolts were down for the count in the end as Hailey just stood there, eyes narrowed at them slightly "Yeah, I didn't want to have to do that, but you did kinda leave me no choice in the matter"

"But you're causing problems here" Spitfire spoke up, feeling too injured to move.

"That's only cause these ponies weren't listning in the first place, it was the only way I could get their attention" Hailey retorted back as her ears flicked at the sound of an approaching vehicle. Her gaze shifted towards it and saw the dune buggy stop nearby and out she stepped "Aimee?"

Aimee had indeed, finally made it to Canterlot, though a bit late by the looks of it as her eyes glanced around then to Hailey "So....they were right after all, you were bought back to life and you decide to help out Chong"

"What? No! You...you don't understand..." Hailey replied as her flaming body dispersed, reverting her to normal as she approached her friend "I...I..." she stamered.

Aimee folded her arms as she just looked at Hailey still "I thought we were past that, that you were over doing, well, evil, being a villain....guess I was wrong in the end, but question is, why would you resort to being evil again?"

"No! It's not like that! I just....I don't have a choice in the matter! He revived me, made me an offer, told me to help out Chong and in turn, I can well....stay alive and he even promised me...something else as well" Hailey tried to explain to Aimee.

Aimee shooked her head a little "So you're doing it for selfish reasons instead?"

"What? No..." Hailey trailed off "I at least thought you'd be happy to see me again"

"See you again? I saw you die in front of my own two eyes, I thought that you were dead! You were suppose to be dead! But no, you're alive and well and helping out Chong, all because you don't want to die again" Aimee told Hailey rather sternly.

Hailey stepped back a little bit, staying silent as she just looked at Aimee all the while.

"Hailey, everyone has a choice in the end, and if you still want to help out Chong for whatever selfish reasons they maybe, fine....but that only means that I will have to hunt you down and stop you" Aimee told Hailey now, rather plainly as she flexed her fists, glancing at the downed Wonderbolts, then at the destruction that Hailey had caused.

"Aimee....please...." Hailey did try to beg as she stepped back again "I don't want to have to fight you, but....but...you have to understand....they even promised me that I could....have you as well...."

Serris · **Reply #478 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:00:07 PM

"Hey, isn't Hailey the name of the person who let Chong out?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.

Deimos scratched his chin. "F---! If she's here then Chong's here!"

Captain Carson frowned as she grabbed a radio from her vest. "I want additional forces headed to Canterlot!"

She then gave the directions from where Spike said it was located.

--------------------

Twilight nodded. "Spike take a letter!" she barked. She then cleared her throat. "Dear Princess Celestia, the one of the alien leaders, 'Captain Carson' has volunteered her forces to assist. I do not know when they will arrive but be on the lookout for them."

She then turned to Captain Carson and Stripetail. "I hate to cut our introduction short but there has been a situation in Canterlot and I must gather my friends to investigate."

--------------------

Captain Fairchild and Major Lockie received the instructions. They had their weapons loaded and their fuel tanks topped off as they prepared for battle.

Again, more vehicles were deployed. Six armed dune buggies (three with dual .50 caliber machine gun turrets and two with automatic 40 mm grenade launchers and one with an anti-tank rocket launcher); two Zenyatta hover tanks; two Itania APCs filled with infantry (a total of 24 troops) and a repulsorsled with two ODIN troopers came out of the Spire of Winter's vehicle bay.

"We are en route," Major Lockie said as he lit his engines and gained speed down the runway.

--------------------

Zachary had arrived at the gem fields with Rarity along with the unarmed ODIN trooper. Zachary decided to bring a repulsorsled to carry the tools and gem haul. He had decided to ask her about finding some money because he needed to earn some cash to have a meal.

He had tuned out Rarity's chattering about his choice of clothing - namely his ballistic vest, helmet and BDUs. Not to mention, he didn't want to hear her prattle on about how he should take care of his hooves. A pistol was holstered at his side.

"Rarity, no offense, but I'm here to earn some money by helping you dig up gems," he said.

"Sorry," Rarity said as he horn glowed as she walked back and forth. Suddenly, a blue patch appeared. "There!"

Zachary grabbed a shovel, ran over and started digging. Soon, he had unearthed a rather large rock. The ODIN trooper hoisted the rock out on the surface. The rock was rather bland - not to mention dusty.

"Strange, my gem detecting spell's never failed." She suddenly remembered how she got her cutie mark. "Break open the rock!"

The ODIN trooper (with her helmet back on) punched the rock as hard as possible, leaving a sizable crack and a fist shaped indentation. Her metal fists and the suit's immense strength meant that she was unharmed. A few more punches and the rock split in half, revealing several loose gems inside.

Zachary's jaw dropped as he laid eyes on the gem.

The ODIN trooper shook the dust off her armor. "Well, I say that is remarkable."

Rarity telekinetically lifted the loose gems into a crate on the repulsorsled. She then turned to the ODIN trooper. "Well, I guess that outfit is good for something - even if it does clash with your blonde mane."

Tarrax, take the other dragons and head to Canterlot.. Most likely CFhong has sent hailey to get help. if we can capture Hailey, Chong shouldn't be too far away" stripetail said. " hurry time is off the essence
