open Into Limbo: Worlds Collide

Blu was not impressed that Lyra ate all of the food that she had presented him with, but he supposed it proved that the food was not likely drugged. He listened intently to what Lyra said, though with an expression of clear skepticism.

He thought a moment once she had finished, before shaking his head, "Everything you just said could be a lie. I mean, sure, it sounds like a fun story, but you haven't shown me anything that would make me believe you."

He thought a moment, "How about this: a good faith action on your part. You give me my stuff back, and then I'll be more inclined to trust you."

@Illiad Easle

"Make you believe huh?" 

 " I have my own brief case full of spy stuff?" She opens a hidden drawer beneath the bed. And pulled out a brief case a size of a filly.

" I call this my bag of SMILE. Ain't it cool?" The briefcase was quite colorful and not so serious to look at. For it has a flowery design and colored pink.

" You're not the only one who has a cool bag!" She haughtily showed off her briefcase. 

" These here is top secret equipment and no one's allowed to see what's inside it... Even you. But if you say please three times I might let you have a try on one of my spy equipments." She smiled and winked at Blu.

Blu then mentions his stuff which Lyra immediately replied.

 

  " your stuff? It's down stairs, at the side of the stairs. You know what? Since you're up and runnin... Wanna go downstairs so you can grab your stuff and have lunch? that way you can prepare your own food and won't be so suspicious of me." She smiled.

She'd leave Blu from his side and go to the exit of the room to lead the way downstairs.

"Shall we?"

@Starforce

As Twilight enters the forest

It won't be long before a signage would grab her attention.

It reads," Animal Sanctuary."

She would see a waterfall, two stories high, creating a small river leading back to the village, a tree with a wheel swing, some small pen houses and some shelters.

there are wild animals leaving within the sanctuary, but you notice these creatures to be quite docile and tamed for some odd reason.

@Kujamih

Blu was suspicious of Lyra's willingness to comply with his request. In fact, she seemed genuinely friendly? Which didn't seem to match at all with the secret agent she claimed to be. Still, even if this was a trap, he was already at the mercy of whoever was in control here.

He'd do his best to get his hooves under him and make his way towards the door, his lack of coordination plainly obvious, but he would get the hang of it eventually, well enough to make it to and most of the way down the stairs before tripping himself up and tumbling the rest of the way down.

Unless Lyra righted him with her magic he'd brush any attempt of hers to help him up, picking himself up before heading over to inspect his things, making sure they had not been tampered with while they were no within his sight.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle

Lyra would guide Blu, Like a mother teaching her young one how to walk. She was especially careful and attentive when guiding Blu through the stairs.

" Watch your step now."

She would do anything to help Blu out.

She'd show you your stuff beside the stairs. And would guide you through the kitchen.

"Just over here is where the living room and at the other side, the kitchen."

Lyra would then be distracted by an alarm in her hoof that looks like a small bracelet with a red flashing Light.

"Oh no... Please excuse me sweetie!" Her horn suddenly glow and her big, flowery briefcase flew down the stairs, passing him and into the living room. She then soon followed, sat at their couch and opened her briefcase.

Meanwhile at the opposite side where Lyra is, is the door, wide open, tempting you to see outside.

A choice was open to Blu.

Explore the outside and see the world what it has to offer or stay inside and see what that lovable mare is up to. 

 

 

 

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Starforce

As she cross the center of the sanctuary, the animals in it seems to be unafraid of Twilight. Some would look cautiously though, but the rest would slowly try to approach her.

The nimble ones would eventually be the one who would quickly approach twilight and greet her.

Some squirrels would playfully go around her as to invite to chase play with them, while some birds would go near and sing to her. A big bear would sluggishly go close to her and offer honey as well.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Starforce

Then a rustling from the bushes cought the attention of everyone from the sanctuary.

The noise is coming from back side of the sanctuary, which leads deeper to the forest, the creepy part.

But soon after you'd notice that it was just a deer, a calf limping towards the sanctuary in distress. As soon as it showed itself it would sit down and rest and lick it's wounds. A blood trail can be seen.

The other animals soon became distressed.

Others would flee and go to their borrows, while the rest would try to help the injured calf. 

The bear seemed angry and is slowly preparing to move forward and follow the blood tracks, before checking the calf's condition.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Starforce

The bear was quite happy to see that he has a companion with his journey. He would try to lead the way for you. 

As the bear sniffs the sent of the trail, the deeper you went into the forest. The forest slowly became thicker and creepier, the path became narrow and dim, while the bear plows through the forest, giving you a better route.

This way, Twilight can easily run back to the sanctuary without getting lost.

But not long after, the bear starts to become worried and scared, it's just looking straight out into the distance.

Soon after you'd hear a struggle happening just infront.

You'd hear some pony yelling and struggling to fight something.

It seems you aren't the only pony in the forest.

The bear would snap out of it's fear and charge towards the distressed pony.

 

[Illiad Easle 3,139]

@Kujamih

While the prospect of escape was tempting, there was no way he could make a break for it while she was so close. He could hardly walk, much less run, and he didn't have the magical prowess nor coordination to carry the Kernel. He'd have to wait for a better opening, though for what it was worth, foregoing this obvious opportunity might ensure that better ones presented themselves. If he tried for this one, and failed, no doubt he would not get a second chance.

He'd take his time ensuring that his stuff had not been tampered with. Maybe Lyra would leave to capture someone else, giving him the opening he needed.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

 @Illiad Easle 

" Bonbon is in trouble!"

The unicorn would run towards the stairs and click a secret button on one of the stairs post knobs.

"Sorry Blu it's kinda hard to explain but we gotta go now!"

The house starts to vibrate and the lower floor near the stairs opens up and reveals a contraption that looks like a capsule.

Lyra levitates her Bag of Smile and Blu inside it. And she soon follows in.

" Okay ,there's a sit belt right over there. Well be taking off in 10 seconds."

The stairs starts to transform and turns into a slide, while the roof starts to open up.

Lyra then closed the hatchet and grabs what seems to be a joystick to control the device.

"Sorry for forcing you in. But we really need to go save Bonbon. She pressed the red button, which mean it's life threatening. And we might need all the hoof we need." 

When the 10 seconds reach a giant spring would propel the capsule up the slide and lunch to the opening of the roof.

The capsule would reach free fall and  springs out it's wings, causing it to glide.

Lyra's horn would glow indicating she is using magic to use the flying contraption.

Lyra would look  back at Blu and gloat, "still don't believe me?" 

looking out the hatchet window. Blu would see the beautiful land of Equestria, filled with fertile land and clean sky.

but judging by the descent of the aircraft, it seems to be going through a forest near this village.

" Wait for us Bonbon." 

 

Meanwhile on Bonbon's side.

" AAAAAHHHH!!! OUFFFF!"

she tells as she crashes through a bush.

She rises up and evades a thrown rock the size of a pony, towards her.

" I think I've bitten more than I can chew..."

And right Infront of her, a giant hairy purple one eyed fluff ball with four tentacles, the size of a watermelon is levitating above her.

" Where are you Lyra?" She desperately cried.

But luckily...

@Starforce

Twilight, at the heat of the moment, sees the area to be in quite a mess.

The soil and vegetations are uplifted and pulled, like a herd of elephants rampaged through this place.

There, within the rubble. Twilight sees an earth pony hiding behind a giant rock, trying to catch it's breath.

The Earth pony notices the yelling Twilight and angrily replied.

" What are you doing!? Take cover!"

The one eyed ODT has its attention grabbed by Twilight, and starts to levitate rocks. It seems readying itself to fling the rocks towards you.

" Watch out!"

The Earth pony grabs a slingshot device from his saddle bag and fired it towards the one eyed ODT.

It explodes and flour would cover the ODTs eyes.

 The ODT got damaged and misfired it's projectile. But if Twilight becomes careless she might get hit by the projectiles.

The ODT Screeches in pain.

But one of the misfired projectile hits the Earth ponies leg and is pinned down.

" Gaaaaaahaaaa!" She cried in pain.

 

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Starforce

The ODT was distracted by Bonbon's flash bang that it didn't have the chance to dodge. It directly got hit at the body and hurdled to the ground.

The pinned down Bonbon would then give instructions.

" That things weakness is it's eyes! It's body is very sturdy to magic, but it's eyes are very sensitive. It usually opens it's eyes when it's about to attack!"

As Bonbon gave information to Twilight, the bear charges and swipes the fur ball tentacle ODT. But the ODT's thick fluffy fur would cushion it's blows.

Having enough of the bear's attack. The ODT released a pulse of energy sending the bear flying through the sky and crashing beside Twilight to see, motionless.

The one eyed ODT then stares at Bonbon in anger and was about to hurdle more rocks at her.

" May Celestia have MERCY ON ME AAAA!"

Before the enraged ODT could exact it's revenge on Bonbon. It was forced to shield it's eyes from Twilight's spray of acid and closes it's eyes.

Twilight's request on pinning down the ODT, she quickly looked at her surroundings as to what could help, since she was pinned down by a boulder.

She noticed one of the trees is giving way and is about to fall because of the acid spray Twilight did.

She installed a bomb in her slingshot and quickly aimed at the weak spot of the tree. 

The tree would collapse and land straight on top of the ODT.

the ODT has no idea what's happening as it still has it's eyes closed, afraid of getting injured.

" Now's your chance! Hit it at the eye!" Bonbon instructed.

As the ODT pinned down and could not move, it begins to panic and starts levitating debris and shooting it out randomly. 

It requires great concentration and evasive skills just to get near the panicked ng creature.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

 

The ODT is now scared out of it's wits and would closely shot it's eyes even more, determined to not get injured any further.

" We are at a stale mate!" Bonbon yelled as the hurricane of debris continue to rage on!

The bear noticed that the ponies keeps on aiming at the eye, so it starts to charge once again, enduring the debris that hits him. As he got near the ODT, the bear tries to forcefully yank open it's eyelids.

"ROAAAAAR!" the bear roared.

But the bear was continually bombarded by the debris, making it hard for him to yank open the eye lids.

" The bear!" Bonbon yelled.

 

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Starforce

As Twilight jabs the ODT with it's magical spear, it would react to the body of the ODT. it's eyes where still shut closed while Twilight tried to stab it. Not knowing that the ODT's body is highly resistant to magic, her spear would pierce a small bit at the eyelids. The ODT's body tries to reject the magical spear, but it was stuck on it causing the ODT, to create more energy to try repel the magical spear, causing it to explode.

The explosion caused both the bear and Twilight, to forcefully yank the eyelid of the ODT, and got flung away.

Bonbon saw the opportunity and aimed her slingshot at the creature's eye.

Fwushh! Smack at the center, a black marble hits the creature's eye and lodged inside of it.

In that instant the creature stopped struggling and every floating debris would then crash down.

Twilight, Bonbon and the bear made an incredible team work, to beat the One Eyed ODT.

as the dust settles, Bonbon is still pinned down by a boulder.

She tries to find out what happened to the unicorn and bear who aided her with the ODT.

" HEY!! UNICORN! YOU OKAY OUT THERE?... IF YOU ARE? CAN YA HELP ME PUSH THIS BOULDER AWAY FROM ME?"  She shouted for assistance.

@Kujamih

Blu resented being picked up like a child, though his anger soon turned to confusion as he was placed with Lyra in the strange capsule, then surprise as it was launched violently into the sky.

"This. Proves. Nothing." he said through gritted teeth as he cowered and low and back as he could, blocking his view of outside with his coat. Blu was absolutely terrified of heights it would seem.

This experience only served to strengthen his resolve. First chance he had he'd be escaping, didn't matter where he went as long as it was away from this crazy mare.

All there was now was to wait for this crazy contraption to land, hopefully not crash.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle @Starforce

Lyra would vigilantly look for the area of the distress signal and saw a bold patch of the forest, where the signal is near. She heads near it and sees 2 ponies and a bear.

" Okay Blu we gotta drop off from here"

Lyra casually said to him.

" This prototype dosn't have landing gears, so this contraption is a one time emergency use only so buckle up we are ditching this bad boy!"

Lyra didn't give much time for Blu to adjust and quickly pulled a lever underneath her.

As soon as that happens the flooring of the flying capsule would open wide dropping them to what seems to be the forest.

" Wooohoooo!"

As they drop from the sky Lyra would grab hold of Blu and grab what seems to be an umbrella from her briefcase. She casually opens it and slowly descends them to the once battlefield Bonbon, twilight and the bear fought the one eyed ODT.

They both landed on top of a boulder where Bonbon was pinned into. The added weight did not help, as the boulder digs in to Bonbon's hoof.

" I asked for help! Not an amputation of my leg!" She cried out to Lyra. 

" I'm so sorry sweetie!"

Lyra quickly hops down the boulder and dropped the clinged Blu on the ground. She quickly hugs and comfort Bonbon.

"I came as soon as I can."

" Sigh... Oh well... Luckily this bear and unicorn saved me... Wait where is she? HEY I DIDN'T GET YOUR NAME!" Bonbon shouted.

@Kujamih

If there's one thing that fear does, it can sometimes make you capable of things you didn't think possible. Like, for instance, finally breaking through your own mental barriers to figure out how to use magic. That was the case for Blu, as during the fall he lost hold of the Kernel, and managed to reach out and grab it with his magic, holding it firmly, to set it safely down once they were finally on the ground. Being able to hold the Kernel was one of the few remaining barriers to his escape, and now he was sitting in the middle of a forest, the kind of which it would no doubt be easy to get lost in. Or rather, to purposefully disappear.

He took advantage of Lyra distracting Bonbon, dropping down the opposite side of the boulder from the others, and immediately setting out into the forest, heading in whichever direction looked the most overgrown. His smaller size would let him pass though gaps the larger ponies would find difficult, but that depended on how long it took them to notice that he had left.

He was also keeping his eyes out for somewhere to hide, like a raised root structure, a hollowed out tree, or a vacant cave, to wait out the inevitable search.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Starforce@Illiad Easle

" Well it's an honor meeting you, Dusk Radiance. My name is Bonbon this here is my partner Lyra Heartstrings. And that over there is what we call an Other Dimensional trespassers, or ODT for short. The name pretty much explains what they are, things that dosn't belong in our dimension.. like that stallion over there." She pointed.

But she soon realizes that she is pointing at thin air. 

"... Hey! Where did the unicorn ODT go Lyra!"

Lyra, who is trying to yank out the rock pinning Bonbon's leg would answer.

" Can't you see I'm busy getting this rock off of you? And besides... A colt could walk better than him. He won't go far. Don't worry so much sweetie, I've scanned him and he's not dangerous."

Bonbon was surprised at how calm Lyra is seeing that Lyra is dotting that unicorn like her child.

" If you say so?... You know this forest is dangerous with or without the ODT right?"

" Yeah, but I can track him down." She proudly said.

" What kind of a mother would I if I can't find my colt..."

Bonbon would look at Lyra awkwardly and just brush it aside for now.

" Waaa?... Ahmm anyway thank you again Dusk Radiance. And for saving my life I would gladly offer you a place to stay, and there we can discuss every questions you want. As soon as this rock is yanked off me."

The bear would come close to Bonbon and lift off the rock.

Lyra would hug the bear and the bear would pat her head.

" Thank you Mr. Bear." Both Lyra and Bonbon respectfully said.

The bear would nod at both of them and return back to the Animal Sanctuary.

" Now that that's done... I guess I should stalk Blu and drag him to our home again. Can you walk home sweetie?" Lyra asked.

" You gave the ODT a name? Anyway... I'm fine, in pain but fine. You go ahead and grab the ODT while I serve our guest, Dusk Radiance, and if it's alright with you I'd like to have a private chat... if it's alright that is?" She asked Dusk Radiance.

@Starforce

" well then Dusk Radiance, I suggest you stick with us. We have information and things that no ordinary pony can have." She then invites Dusk Radiance to follow her.

"If it's alright with you, I can give you the full details and a proposition, as we head to my home. I see great potential in you, and just might be the mare I've been looking for."

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle

Meanwhile on Blu's side...

He wonders deeper into the Everfree Forest, where the tree's are thick, the air thin,the creature's grin and the soil is grim. 

It seems to be an unwise choice to venture alone in this forest.

The forest does not help with his sanity, as it makes noise to make one lose their mind. A screech a scream, a howl a bawl, a cold breeze to the back or a crawl from the hoof. 

And what's worse, something is following him. He can feel it.

[Illiad Easle 3,139]

@Kujamih

Once he felt sure he was far enough away that the others wouldn't find him immediately, Blu took a deep breath and nodded with a smile. The air, the sounds, the smell, it felt right, familiar, the way it did in the forests back home. Only now, he supposed, he wasn't technically at the top of the food chain.

No doubt he would soon find himself prey to a forest creature if he wasn't careful, so he figured he best bet was to climb a tree to get a good view of the surroundings as well as limit potential predators.

He considered how he might get himself into a tree, first attempting to lift himself by standing on top of the Kernel as he lifted it with his magic, and if that didn't work, he'd try lifting himself into the tree by trying to grab a strong branch with his magic and pulling himself up by trying to pull the branch down.

Faulting that, he should at least then have a branch in his grasp with which to defend himself. He'd then look for a tree with low branches that he could climb up manually.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Illiad Easle

His first day using magic was quite tiresome, as he kept using it he felt getting weaker and weaker, a very unwise choice to be practicing magic at a place like this.

He would successfully climb up a tree, even though he is still sorting out how his body parts move. Depending if he still continues to use his magic from climbing up or using it to carry his kernel, he would be quite tired or a little worn out. 

But as he reaches the pick of the tree the sun's rays would hit him before it's about to set. The forest view on top looks quite beautiful in its own way, as Blu have proven that not everyone has the same view for beauty.

He would also spot the village he came from, a crash site which seems to be where the capsule landed and an abandoned castle.

Meanwhile something seems to be lurking from the bottom. As Blu can hear hints of movement from below.

It's hard to see what's down there since the forest is quite thick and the sun is about to set.

 

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Starforce 

As Bonbon and Dusk Radiance heads out and exits the forest. She would continue their conversation onwards. You'd notice that Bonbon keeps on looking at her hoof which seems to have a device attached to it. It flashes red whenever you go near it.

"Now that we've exited the forest, I suppose it's safe now to have a conversation."

" As you have already known. Me and Lyra hunt down ODTs. We usually capture them and put into a facility to investigate further... But as you can see Lyra has a different way of interpreting our mission. She would rather befriend them than capture them." 

" Did you see the other Blue unicorn with her? That unicorn is considered an ODT. because that Pony dosn't belong in this dimension."

"Sigh... Lyra broke the protocol and instead wants to keep it... Maybe I should've agreed to adoption." 

" Anyway I'm getting side tracked. We work for an agency called SMILE. We discovered a large Fluctuation of magic and portals and rifts keep popping out of nowhere, spitting out Celestia knows what. As you've already witnessed, that small One Eyed ODT just destroyed a part of the forest, and almost out matched 2 ponies and a bear. We can consider ourselves lucky back there."

" I heard an ODT from the south has decimated a whole team of our agents and was able to escape. I'd hate to face that ODT."

" Seeing you, who has an array of magic and skills.I would love to recruiter you into SMILE. you don't need to answer immediately and you can stay at our home and make it your own with or without joining SMILE. Consider it my thanks for saving my life."

 

 

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

 

@Starforce

she looks at her hooves again.

"No rush, but I will take your offer on your research on this matter." 

" But of course we should still keep the agency a secret." Bonbon heavily implied.

As they near their house Bonbon ponders on.

" Dusk Radiance, your the kinda pony I like to see. Someone who sees worth in an action and takes what is necessary. I respect that."

" So I'll give you some good reasons to join our Agency then."

"First off all, you get access to our technology. Meaning our advance gadgets."

"Second, you get access to our knowledge. That means access to spells no other pony could acquire and lots and lots of books."

"Third, you can get access to anywhere." 

And lastly, we get special treatment." 

" Not a bad deal right?"

16 minutes ago, Twilight Sparkle (Universe 114A) said:

I would hope that any ponies that are from other dimensions are treated well." 

" Well I suppose Lyra is good proof for you that she treats ODT quite well."
