My Little Pony: My Little Pony The Martian

AMICITAS Mission Three – Mission Day 488

ARES 3 solar day 479

The visitors from Malaysia gathered together and chatted quietly. It's been a long time since they've done anything like this, and Starlight actually insisted this time. She didn't want Mark to hear - or at least understand - what they were discussing.

"Then what are we going to talk about now?" For the same reason, Fireball started in pony language at Starlight's strong request, "Is it related to the fact that we parked the car early today?"

"Sixty-three kilometers," Starlight replied bluntly, "and the battery was only 83% charged this morning."

"And it's really getting dark outside," Cherry Berry also said, "It kind of looks like it's following us secretly, but it's obvious now."

"Even if Phobos rises, Mark won't be able to see it," Starlight continued, "The dust is so huge that nothing can be seen in the sky except the sun."

"So how big is this dust storm?" Dragonfly asked.

"It's very big, and it continues to get bigger," Starlight replied. "Mark said that almost every four years or so there will be a sandstorm here that is big enough to cover the entire planet in dust. They usually It lasts for weeks, sometimes even months.”

"We don't have months," Fireball muttered.

"I know." Starlight turned to Dragonfly, "Didn't you always say that you could hear this and that and talk? Did you hear what the planet was saying? What about the weather? Is there anything else?"

Dragonfly turned away from Starlight's direct gaze, "I don't want to talk about this," she muttered, "You are all laughing at me. You are hiding it on your face, but I can still hear it."

"We can't laugh now," Starlight said. "What I'm thinking about right now is whether there will be windigoes on Mars."

"Wind demon?" Feihuo's eyes widened after hearing this, "Are you talking about the kind of monster in the Hearth Festival story?"

"That's right," Starlight replied, "and I'm not talking about the good wind demon from 'The Lonely Red Wind Demon'. Think about it for a moment; we've been causing everyone to lose their temper lately, The weather outside also looks like it’s trying to freeze us all into popsicles.”

"Well," CherryBerry thought for a moment and said, "we're not angry anymore. We're worried."

"Oh, it's nothing to worry about," Fireball curled his lips, "We are scared. We are almost scared to death."

"And I didn't feel anything like a wind demon around us," Dragonfly replied, "Mars didn't say anything. All I could feel was the six of us, the rover, and the death box. Roaming The only thing the car ever said was, 'Let's hit the road.' And the death box just said, 'Good night naked mortals, good performance, I might kill you tomorrow morning.'"

"Would it care if Mars beats it to the punch?" Berry asked.

"Berry, Commander, you can't say such things." Feihuo accused.

"That's true," Fireball muttered, "It looks like we are going to die here."

"How can there be no hope!" Spitfire retorted, "Maybe Twilight Sparkle will come to save us!"

"If she really wants to come," Dragonfly sighed, "it should be time now."

"Well, this is embarrassing."

In the center of the table is the Angel 16 detector, whose indicator light is still flashing.

Sitting on one side of the table were Princess Twilight Sparkle, the manager of the Equestrian Space Agency, Queen Chrysalis, the leader of the Changeling space program, and Princess Luna, one of the two rulers of the Equestrian State.

On the other side of the table sat the unicorn scientist Twilight Sparkle, Cocoon, one of the leaders of the resistance organization, and Queen Nightmare Moon, the dictatorial ruler of the Horse Country.

"The other me, I still want to know," Nightmare Moon asked softly in a very unfriendly tone, "what drove you to surrender to our sister."

"For example, that pure Harmony magic purifying shockwave that directly rides on the face," Princess Luna asked, "Have you never been hit by that?"

"I personally destroyed those Elements of Harmony." Nightmare Moon said proudly.

"Of course I am too," Luna explained, "It's useless at all. The Elements of Harmony are not just those ancient artifacts, they are also the embodiment of the highest ideals of civilization. And they summoned six that can represent these special qualities. 's filly."

"This didn't happen in my universe," Nightmare Moon replied. "I met no resistance when I initially took over the situation, not even my sister." Then she turned to the man sitting on the same side of the table. The changeling and the pony glared and said sternly, "As for the so-called resistance forces, they only appeared later."

"It seems that something is preventing Rainbow Dash in your world from achieving a sonic rainbow boom." Princess Twilight said based on her own experience.

"Rainbow Dash is my captain of the Shadowbolts," Nightmare Moon said proudly, "and she could not be more loyal to me."

"What about Rarity?"

"The Squire and the Dressmaker," Nightmare Moon said, complaining, "She always insists on wanting me to wear something bright and full of lace and pleats. Always saying something like 'contrast' here, 'lace there' Can soften lines' or something like that."

"Where's Applejack?"

"Leading the first uprising against me. She is now imprisoned in my dungeon to ensure that the Apple family will not act rashly again in the future."

"Pinkie Pie?"

"Who?"

"Xiaodie?"

"I haven't heard of it either."

Princess Twilight then turned to her non-Alicorn doppelganger, "What about you? Did you go to Celestia's Academy for Gifted Unicorns?"

"I...dropped out of school," Twilight said sadly. "After I read all the books in the public domain, I left and embarked on a path of exploration to seek knowledge alone. It started in the Night Without Dawn At that time, I was investigating the mystery of the mysterious disappearance of the Pillars of Harmony in Shady Town. Then I returned to Central City and was recruited by Princess Cadance to join the underground resistance organization."

"When I find her, the kingdom can return to its proper order." Nightmare Moon gritted her teeth and growled, "That mare with such a thorn in her back has always been a serious problem for me."

"I was studying the moon and trying to figure out some way to return Nightmare Moon to her place of imprisonment," Unicorn Twilight continued, "and we watched her magic reach out into space and grab... This object. We thought it might be the key to defeating her, so we organized a resistance force to secretly invade her castle and steal this object." At this point, she glared at the non-Queen Cocoon, "Unfortunately We were discovered.”

"I don't take the blame," Non-Queen Cocoon retorted, "It was you ponies who betrayed us changelings."

"What the hell is going on with you?!" Cocoon, who was definitely the queen, shouted, "How could the changelings be betrayed! It was they who were betrayed by the changelings!"
