Chapter I: The Landing. (ask before joining)

[Commander]

((OOC: I am making this thread canon... as in: This will be my main character's real story line. This thread as well as the many mores which I will surely wrote will be considered as "semi-private". I need to know that you are reliable... and that you can, at least, be able to type two well-garnished paragraphs. Secondly, you'll have to tell me via PM which character you'll be using. Once that done, you'll have the green light for this as well as many other chapters which will most-likely be written in a near future! Thank you!))

The pod he had been crammed in had been launched. Launched toward the beating heart of their sworn enemies; their home planet. He couldn't see anything; those pods didn't had any windows whatsoever on them. They served no purpose aside being structural weaknesses, after all. Those things were designed to be hurled through a wormhole... and then through a planet's atmosphere before landing on hard surface with the help of propellers to soften the landing. Nothing fancy here.

Soon after the launch he'd feel the wormhole coming in closer... the surge of energy being a hard thing to describe... an electric current that flowed though your body but didn't seem to be causing any pain... and soon after, there was this typical muffled "FWOOP" that indicated that he had just been transported literally to the other side of the galaxy.

From there he knew already what to expect... lots of shaking, some heating up as he'd go through the atmosphere. He'd land... and then... all hell would break loose. He would fill his purpose. He would do what he was thought to do since he could remember anything. Eliminate the threat that endangered his specie.

Though... only after a few more seconds of being pulled by the planet's gravitational field... something went wrong... horribly wrong. Hit by something. A rock... debris. Whatever it was, his pod had been ripped open like paper, leaving the upper half completely exposed. Good thing his suit was completely hermetic and vacuum proof... otherwise he would've choked on the spot.

That's when he'd be allowed to take a look where he'd be landing... the planet would reflect on his visor... a lot more... blue and green than what he had been described. But honestly, that was the least of his concern right now. Yes, because as of now he was literally becoming a fireball as he went through the atmosphere, believe it or not. He'd have to shield himself from the heat... somehow.

His hands would reach for his buckle and undo it. He'd then grab hold of the hermetic door, which was still in one piece... and literally rip it off its sockets. The thing was large... he'd use it as landing gear. Not very fancy, but it would make sure he wouldn't cook up before he'd land down on the planet. As for the impact... he'd lock up his armor. Theoretically, it would work.

---

Meanwhile, down on Equestria, a shooting star would come down, slowly... a big one at that too through the starry night sky. At some point, the largest part of it would be blown to pieces, burning up in a shower of sparkles. Only a small part of it would remain intact... and not stopping... coming down and down until it would eventually meet with the ground right in the middle of the Everfree forest. Birds flying away and wild creatures screaming in terror as the trees shook.

The super soldier, locked up in his armor would eventually manage to undo the command... the suit loosening itself until it became completely fluid once again. He'd stand up immediately and stand off the scorched door, his railgun already in hands. Where was the enemy? Perhaps he drew a bit off course in his crash landing...

He'd activate his night vision, taking a look around... then with his heat vision... nothing. He'd lower his guard and reach for his positioning system to get a better idea of where he was currently standing as well as where he should be heading at... but the device didn't seem able to pick up any connection whatsoever... as if all the spy satellites that supposedly orbited this planet had simply vanished. He'd frown and put away of the device... he'd look forth and start walking. Perhaps he'd find something that way.

'Nothing beats flying through the night and enjoying the cool refreshing breeze after a day of hard work!' A blue pegasus thought to himself as he flew through the night sky. Normally he would be back in Cloudsdale resting, but today's manual labor didn't take as much energy than he thought it would. Since this afternoon, after enjoying lunch, he has been working for ponies that needed help, mainly in Ponyville. Deliveries, pulling wagon full of vegetables, helping a pony carry her luggage towards the train station, etc, were just some of his jobs he manage to acquire. With a couple of twists and loops here and there, the flying equine continued soaring high above Ponyville. It wasn't until he felt something odd in the wind that made him slow down and look up. From behind his goggles he saw what it would appear to be a shooting star. With his wings gently flapping, he hovered in awe at the sight, but weird...he never heard there's going to be a shooting star tonight... 'Is it just me or is that thing getting closer...?' The pegasus lifted his goggles up, his teal colored eyes peering at the burning object that started breaking down into pieces. Something was about to crash down into Equestria, or rather, judging by it's directory, it was going to crash into Evergreen Forest.

Whatever the object was, it did crash into Evergreen. Now only a few ponies would dare to step hoof into the forest and well, he was one of them! The pegasus showed no signs of hesitation and flew fast towards where his saw the burning object landed. Before landing into the dark and scary forest he made sure to land at a spot closest to where the object crashed. From behind a couple of trees and bushes the pegasus poked his head out. 'What in Equestria is that?' He's never seen anything like it before. At first he stood a good distance away from what ever the thing was, but as curiosity took over, the pony slowly walked up to the weird contraption, making sure not to cause any sounds. 'Ow!' He held his tongue from speaking out loud after touching the object with a hoof. What ever that thing was, it was hot. At the moment he had not realized he was not alone. He had been to preoccupied at the thing before him and not looking around his surrounding area. Heck no pony's ever alone in Evergreen Forest with all the different creatures and monsters lurking around.

He wasn't sure what to say or do now, but another thing soon caught his field of vision. A tall figure. It was moving too. What is that thing? A monster in Evergreen? If so, he wouldn't be surprised. Should he slowly make a retreat while he was still behind the strange figure? Ha! He running away from some potential unknown threat?! He'll admit just simply going up to it wouldn't be the wisest thing to do, so instead he silently hover himself into the air and move towards the strange thing covered in strange things. Upon getting up close into the personal space of the unknown figure, the pony saw him, her, it, looking into yet another object he could make heads or tails of. Whatever he, she, or it was, it didn't look all that dangerous, compared to some other creatures inside the forest. Like the Hydra or the Cockatrice. "Hey there!" The Equine called out from over the unknown's shoulder, still trying to see what it was looking at. This was probably not the best idea, but if things do turn dangerous, the pegasus was confident in his speed to keep him out of trouble.

(( ooc: It's a rather short post lol. I kind of rushed it in, didn't want to keep you waiting too long xD; ))

(( Ooc: It's more than enough, don't worry! I usually don't type anymore than this, heck, sometimes even a bit less. XD ))

The super soldier would keep on going through the forest, rifle in hands, keeping a sharp eye on his surroundings. His night vision was currently turned on to give him a better view of what could possibly hide through all this darkness, leaves and branches. So far, nothing really caught his attention... although, the wildlife here, like the few birds, insects and reptiles he was given to to see didn't match any of the fauna he was informed about. His H.U.D visor would scan most of them and give virtually no information about it... aside very basic and obvious stuff.

He'd stop for a moment and look up at the sky. He could see stars... so many of them. And the moon. This... was all wrong. This planet was supposed to have a thick, red-ish cloud layer of gas and iron particles floating about, but here the air was pure and clean. Not to mention that there was also supposed to be two moons, not only one. Was the information he was given that flawed? It seemed hardly possible. Knowing their enemies was what they did best... they wouldn't make such a monumental mistake. Ideas would start to flow in his head, explanations to this odd happening. One of them he'd rather not think about.

Lost in his thought, he never realized his motion sensor had been momentarily turned off by the harsh landing, same for his rear-view camera incorporated in his helmet. Having stopped there, brainstorming with his own self, the pegasus that now flew right behind him, over his shoulder, had gone completely unnoticed.

Until it decided to speak.

"Neutralize" Was the first thing that went through 121's head. And from that distance, no matter how fast the colt would be, he'd get caught for certain. The only thing that prevented his brain to take any grim actions was the fact that those words that got to resonate through his eardrums were spoken in fluid English; his homeworld natal language.

Having enhanced reflexes and strength, the soldier would spin nearly instantaneously as his left hand would grab hold of the blue creature's neck and literally slam him down on the grassy surface with a loud "thud". His right hand already having produced a large battleknife, he'd keep the weapon in a "ready to stab" position. Nearly choking him as well, he'd get the time to take a better look at... whatever this thing was, his visor glowing an ominous red color.

The first thing that struck him was how... defenseless this thing seemed to be. At least, for his standards. No claws... no teeth. No venomous glands or acidic ones either. It's size... the large eyes and very... human expressions...

His grip would loosen. He was trained to get rid of the enemy, yes, but this thing obviously wasn't of any threat to him. Pointless extermination wasn't part of his conditioning. He'd eventually retract his knife and slowly put it back in place. He'd let go of the blue winged creature completely as well as removing his right armored knee from its belly that pinned him down as he'd stand up.

From there he'd just... look at it. Unsure of what to do or even say to it. He didn't had to apologize... Or, at least, that's what he thought. He got what he deserved for sneaking on him like that, after all. Plus, he obviously wasn't the type to start any discussions. Let alone any interesting ones...

((Sorry for taking action like that... I kinda had to given how close he was from him XD Plus, it's really because there's no harm done that I took the initiative to do so. Hope you're not mad at me! o.o ))

Yeah maybe sneaking up behind whatever this thing was, wasn't such a good idea, but he was more shocked by the speed of this creature. The young stallion felt his back land rather hard on the ground of Everfree Forest. Was this the end for this pegasus? He was pinned and couldn't even speak. All he could do was watch as the creature bring out another object and wow, was it pointy. Wait, this isn't the time to be admiring. What is he going to do?? This was the end of him, but what's the creature waiting for? "Just end it already!" Was what he wanted to say, but it was hard to speak with the creature's....limbs? Tentacles? Hooves...? No, it didn't feel like hooves. When the creature loosen his grip, the pony was confused and once it got off of him, he stood up and rubbed his neck. "What is wrong with you? Sheesh! Just what are you?" The equine had many questions. He didn't even know if it could speak, but the creature seems intelligent. He also took hint of how it was just staring at him with that red...eye? Why did it give him a feeling that the creature felt lost? It was like it never seen a pony before.

The blue pony stretched his wings and flapped them a couple of times to see if they were ok. Even though he just got out of a dangerous situation, he didn't run away. He just look back at the tall creature and at the mess it created in the middle of Everfree Forest. Was the pony sure it created this mess? Well, it doesn't take much to put two and two together. "I know you're not a pony... Did you fall out of the sky just now? Can you speak? Where did you come from?" Maybe this creature could speak, but honestly even if it did, he was expecting it to be in some form of gibberish or some horrible monster screeches. Regardless, it was rather awesome of the creature to come in with such a flashy landing. At this point he already forgot how just moments ago, the creature attacked him and made him hit the ground.

Well if the soldier wasn't the talking type... that thing in front of him sure was; pretty much assaulting him with questions after that little fit of his. Almost all of his queries, however, were pretty much likewise. He was just as confused as him on the how's and the where's of this whole situation that pretty much shoved itself in his face right now. Nothing made sense to him. Absolutely nothing. His brain was winding and desperately trying to make connections with these weird events to any logical links... but so far the mathematical and calculating part of his head had called it quit, curled up in a ball and started crying.

He'd narrow his eyes and frown, focusing. Better start with what he knew. Firstly, they weren't the enemy... that was pretty obvious, so there was no need for any radical measures. Secondly... quite the harsh realization, but... he had obviously been sent at the wrong place. How badly, however, he did not know. On a neighboring planet, perhaps? Hopefully. Thirdly, that blue fuzzball was talking English. How could it be. Had his own specie set foot here once? Did they learned that language from them... or the other way around?

Either way, that creature had just asked him a few things just now. He could easily answer most of them. Nothing top secret about the name of his planet, as long as he did not told him anything about its coordinates. Also... that's when something had struck him. Pony? As in the miniature horses? His training never really covered anything on those... barely mentioned what they were, some pictures... and now that he looked at it... there were a few similarities. The shapes were different, however, like the legs and body, but what stood out the most was the head... and obviously the colors. Oh, and the wings, let's not forget about that... and the fact it could actually talk.

He'd pause as he's simply cross his arms, leaning a bit more on his right leg, his sight would fall on the crater still not too far from them with the metal door stuck in it, still steaming and smoking.

-If I fell? I don't know, did I?

He'd say, thick on sarcasm. His voice was low and deep, almost cold and mechanical due to the speaker integrated into his helmet.

-And obviously not from around these parts.

He'd answer the pony about his origin. Now it was his turn... he just proved he did indeed fell, that he could talk, that was wasn't from here... and obviously, without saying a word, that he wasn't human. Seriously, just a single look would be enough to satisfy his curiosity on that aspect.

It was his turn now to be asking questions. And he'd start with what mattered the most to him right now. The rest could wait.

-Where am I?

He'd ask, looking back at him.

-As in... on which planet did I just landed?

((OOC: I think the canon name of MLP's planet is Equis? Not sure lol.))
