Asunder 21
"Dazzleglow said it was north west of here by several miles, I could fly there."
"No Brightglow, we need to stick together." Patch said looking at her, "sides with all the air traffic, I don't know if you flying around would be safe."
"We all could fly." Brighteyes said, flopping down onto the sofa.
"Possibly, theres a few people docking Sea planes in port, we might be able to rent one." Lancer looked at the girls then back out the window, "There's more then one float plane, and even a flying boat out there."
"That could work," Brighteyes agreed "we need to work quick though."
Lancer nodded heading out, "Martain, Yo! Martain!"
Looking up from where he was working, Martain cleaned the the dirt of his hands and walks up to the ramp "Yeah Lancer, what's up?"
"The plane over there, the big one, is it for charter?"
"The cat?"
"Cat?" Lancer said looking confused.
"Catalina, its an old flying boat from the 2nd world war, old but tons of people swear by them, saying best flying boats ever built."
"Think its owner would charter?"
"The ShawowCat? Sure, he uses it for occasional air tours, or short hops." Martain said nodding.
Lancer picked up his bag heading down, "Lets go see him."
* * * * *
"Predator control, flight 381 Skysabre, we are coming into zone 4 for photo re-con."
"Skysabre, this is Predator control, civilian traffic is clear begin your photo run."
Leaning back in her chair Lt Cameron typed out the code so the Predator began its run, looking over at her co-pilot she chuckled "All the power of actually being up there."
Sgt Davidson nodded her head "And none of the air-sickness."
"Oh I'm so lucky you weren't on my aircrew when we were flying transport."
"Hey most times I'm fine, I just seem to have a problem with foul weather."
"So tasking today is for anti-drug, anything else?"
Stg Davidson looked at her mission pad "Yeah, marking campers for the FBI and NSA."
"Campers, you'd think they would be easy to spot, but come on, its even with make model and such, you just see them so often."
"Yeah I know, the government should make it mandatory to have a reflective number plate painted on or placed on the roof's of all campers. Unlike cars its almost imposable to get a top shot of the license plates, 9 times out of ten they are located under rear storage racks, so you can only read them if your on the ground behind them."
"Hey we just fly it, its up to analysis department to figure out what to do with the information." Lt Cameron giggled "Wonder what people would say if they knew we used these aircraft over first nations lands for this."
"Big brothers watching?"
* * * * *
Carl sat on the steps of the camper under the rain awning, he watched quietly as the old man walked up, Raindancer grazing keeping one ear alert. Inside, Jing-a-ling and Ting-a-ling lay watching TV with Tina, cartoons seemed to keep them interested, even if it was a show about brumbies.
"I brought some treats for you and your kids," he said tapping his stick as he walked.
"Treats?" Jing-a-ling perked and turned looking at the door.
"Relax kids, and stay inside please." Carl chuckled then looked to the man.
"It's OK, there's not a lot an old man like me could to to pose a threat."
Raindancer looked up from the grass, and snorted once, then wickered almost giggling.
"Mind Raindancer, she can be a nag sometimes." He said holding out a bag and Thermos.
Raindancer snorted again and turned her back to them, flicking her tail as if to ward off an annoyance before going back to grazing.
"Some nice herbal tea, good for relaxing before sleep, all natural and safe. And some honeyed oatcakes for the kids."
Carl took the back and Thermos opening and sniffing it.
"Its safe, wouldn't be fitting to make you or the girls sick, would seriously upset Raindancer."
Carl looked to the mare then back to the man "thank you sir."
"Oh pleasure all mine, rare these days when I get a chance to help the great spirits out."
"Great spirits?" Carl looked at him.
"Well I'm sorta a shaman, or medicine man, least thats what I'm called by the council of elders. I just think of myself as someone in touch with reality." He chuckled softly looking over his shoulder into the wind.
"I see, so you live here?"
"Here, there, I travel sometimes, but mostly here. Johnny Tworivers was watching the area today, FBI occasionally come around looking for wackie tabbaccie... we don't grow it but doesn't stop them from looking."
"Tworivers?" Carl asked, and looked around, if FBI watched this place it might not be the safest to hang out after all.
"Yes, he tends to spend his nights as an eagle, says its safer to fly at night."
"As an eagle?"
"Well yeah, he's a shape-changer after all. What, think all of the first nations gave up their history and went into gambling?" Turning the old man chuckled and turned walking back down the path.
Tina leaned over her fathers shoulder looking, "OK, now that guy's lost it."
"Says the girl playing with 2 talking ponies."
Jing-a-ling and Ting-a-ling both looked over his other shoulder too "Whatcha watching?"

Asunder 22
Teddy walked over sitting beside Sweetheart "Hi."
Her head shot up from where she was laying in the grass to look at him. "Oh, hi."
"You haven't eaten yet so I brought you something" He looked down at her setting down a bowl of muffins and cupcakes in front of her.
"I wasn't... hungry." She blinked looking at the bowl then up at him.
Smiling Teddy offered her a small rose.
Looking at the rose then to him Sweetheart sat up and hugged Teddy tight starting to cry holding his neck.
Rarity bounded up seeing the two and huffed looking at Sweetheart crying, she got about for paces toward them before she saw a little white ball landing in front of her, then, a blinding flash left her dizzy and seeing spots.
Stardancer ran over to the young unicorn "Oh I'm so sorry Rarity I didn't see you there, I was just practicing my Starflashs, here let me get you back to the castle." Glancing over her shoulder she nodded once in the direction of Sweetheart and Teddy.
Teddy only caught sight of the flash but didn't say anything, simply nodded back to Stardancer as he held Sweetheart.
"I thought you liked Rarity." Sweetheart asked.
"She's, well annoying to say the least. Kinda reminds me of Melody, only caring about having fun, and ignoring a lot of things going on around her. This is serious, were needed to save the world." Teddy did his best to look brave and proud.
Sweetheart giggled. "OK OK. I just saw her cuddling you."
"Yeah, yuck. Only pony I let cuddle up to me is you."
* * * * *
Tom headed up the wharf looking at Lancer, shaking his head he huffed once "Oh boy, that guy knows more then he lets on, and hides everything."
Lancer blinked "Who."
"The director, the one who's in charge of the research company that brought the ponies across. He blooming well knows more, but is covering it up."
"Why?" Patch said coming down he plank and sitting hooves off the edge of the dock in the water.
"He's playing a game of CYOA Cover your own.... tail..." Tom said looking at Patch.
"Umm wouldn't that be CYOT?" Patch blinked, "or is my spelling off again."
"Yeah, but we use a different word instead of tail. Aside from that, he's intent on keeping them a secret so funding isn't cut on his project."
"Even if it kills millions or hurts our world?" Brightglow said leaning over the edge of the boat looking down.
"Yeah this is going to be a problem."
"Well we are just leaving to take a tour flight, we have an idea of where the girls might be."
Tom nodded, "OK, as long as you are back here by tomorrow, I have a friend in customs that can get you a day permit."
Lancer nodded "Thanks Tom, we don't want you to get in trouble though."
"Oh theres going to be trouble, this is going to turn into a major scandal if everyones not careful, and I know people are going to work to cover this up big. So thats our safety net." Tom turned and headed up the wharf toward his car, "meantime Lancer, see if you can find the twins."
* * * * *
It felt like his head just hit the pillow when Carl heard the loud whinnying, sitting up quickly he looked around, and in a panic he realized he couldn't see Jing-a-ling or Ting-a-ling anywhere. Hoping out of bed, Carl ran throwing open the door to the camper looking around outside.
The sun passed across the heavens, as clouds hurried across the sky casting shadows over the hills and tree's. A warm wind blew setting Raindancers mane and tail fur aside as she walked up to Carl, "Your late."
Carl blinked looking at the painted mustang then looked around blinking "Huh? What do you mean late, and why are you talking."
"I'm talking because the great spirits wish it, because Epona wishes it, because the first ones wish it."
Carl blinked more, "OK that made no sense."
"Well the foals are of Epona, so she gets a say in this. Mostly for the great spirits though. For the first ones. For mustang." Raindancer laughed softly at him.
Carl shook his head putting a hoof over his face as the wind caught his mane too. Raindancer reared whinnying and sent a forehoof toward Carl's face. Defensively Carl lifted both forelegs in front of him and closed his eyes falling back wards onto the grass. Grass. Patting the ground Carl looked down and then around blinking, he was in a park, beside a fountain of a rearing pony, tree's blew, though several were being cut down, burned and charred from lightning strikes, several buildings could be seen being repaired. Looking down at himself he saw his body was white with dark blue mane and tail his flank mark, a double helix of green snakes, their heads coming to face each other on either side of a pink rose.
Standing up almost shaking he heard someone calling out "Are you OK?" Turning he saw a young pony, probably in her early teens with blue mane and tail and pink body fur, her flank mark a microphone with stars and notes around it.
Standing beside was a dark purple pony, larger, full grown, with light blue mane and tail, and an almost grape purple body, her flank mark was a white clock. "Are you OK? You tripped pretty heard there."
Carl turned to face her dropping to all 4's "I'm OK, just... confused."
"Hi confused, I'm Melody." She smiled with a giggle.
"Jing-a-ling and Ting-a-lings sister?" He asked blinking
"Yeah," She said lowering her head. "But there missing right now."
"There fine, I've been looking after them for the last few days, there safe." Carl said.
Mel's mother blinks looking shocked and stepped forward, "Really? where?"
"There back in my camper... at..." Stopping he looked around.
Mel's mom moved forward tucking her muzzle under his neck pressing against him "Oh thank you, thank you."
Carl blinked blushing "Its OK, they were scared but, Me and my daughter have been taking care of them, they've missed you two lots."
Melody looked happily at her mom and Carl. It had been so long since she'd seen her mom so cheerful, especially with a male, her father had been gone since after the twins were born.
The shriek of an eagle startled Carl turning he saw the great bird sitting, on the window sill to the camper. Looking around he blinked seeing the twin's asleep cuddled up to each other in the bed by the kitchen, Tina was up in the bunk above the drivers compartment. Looking back to where the eagle was all he saw was the themas with the tea.
"Oh I am so going to hurt that guy."

Asunder 23 <make sure you read 22 before this one>
The director steepled his fingers leaning back in his chair "No witnesses."
"None."
"Good, always nice to hear the NSA is willing to help with Senate projects." The director smiled.
"You've helped us clean up messes in the past, always willing to return the favor."
"All in the best interest of our country." The director said chuckling softly "Did your daughter get the new car she wanted for her birthday?"
"Oh yes, she loved the color too. We received the data from a predator team, they spotted the camper on an Indian reservation."
"Are they not refereed to as native American's? Don't wish to seem prejudice do we?"
"Meh Indians, redskins, either works for me."
"So what happens now?" The director asked.
"An assault."
* * * * *
"Team 1 ready"
Quietly Agent Kidd screwed the silencer on the end of his sniper rifle, from his point he had a clear view of the camper, as well as the other teams as they moved into position around the RV.
"Team 2 ready"
Picking up his clip, he took out the top round, 7.62mm out, replacing it with a .308 Winchester Teflon coated and hooked in the clip, chambering the round. The Teflon would ablate when the round was fired hiding any barrel striations.
"Sniper point 1 ready"
Laying down he taped the the radio "Sniper point 2 ready", while the breach team was all FBI, he was actually NSA tasked to work with the FBI as a liaison officer.
"4 heat sources inside, 2 small 1 medium in the main area, 1 medium to large in the back."
He drifted his scope across the trailer looking, all the windows were covered, blocked off, by drapes "2, no visuals."
"Team 2 ready for breach."
Scanning from window to window he drifted his scope over the camper to watch team 2 as they made their approach, slowly siting in on the newest member, a 22 year old fresh out of training. Slowly he squeezed the trigger, his rifle kicking once as the round slammed into the ground in front of newbie kicking up dirt and debris.
"Shots fired, shots fired!" was screamed over the radio as the 22 year old opened up on the camper with his sub machine gun. Causing the rest of his team to open up as well. Quickly someone fired teargas and t-flash grenades in through the windows.
Agent Kidd quickly re-centered on the 2 small heat-sources, putting one round on each, before firing into the rear after the larger heat source. Then leaned over and picked up the .308 casing placing it in his pocket.
"Cease fire, cease fire!" came over the radio.
Agent Kidd stood and walked down from his point, as the all clear was called, team one stormed inside the camper, unopposed. As the investigators headed inside agent Kidd walked in with them, quietly letting the .308 round fall down the inside pant leg, rolling out without much noise onto the floor of the camper. Easy enough for the investigator teams to find.
* * * * *
Tom stormed into the office "Why was I not called about this?"
"Those in charge said you were busy, this was a time critical assault so they sent in the closest teams, wanted to hit them before..."
"It was what, a 3 hour flight by helicopter?" Tom said looking at Kassandra
"I know, I don't like it either." Kassandra said sitting down on the edge of his desk.
"I'll log a complaint with our boss when I see him next"
"Least the case is closed." Kassandra said.
"Not in the slightest."
"Whatcha mean?"
Tom looked up at Kassandra "Simple, the equines were not local, they were brought across in an accident."
"Across from where."
"The company is doing some sort of experiment drawing energy though trans dimensional or subspace. Sounds like sci-fi but, they pulled the equines through that. And are covering it up."
Kassandra blinked "Yeh but do you have proof."
"Not yet, hence case isn't done yet."
"Boss isn't gonna like you doing a private investigation."
"I have to... for the little ones at least."
* * * * *
Patches head hit the top of the `bubble` in the observation window of the Catalina PBY, "Ow, bumpy ride."
Brighteyes look more green then normal "Its called turbulence."
Ace looked at her and stroking her side softly "I thought you were OK with flying, you flew on that sea plane to the islands after all."
"Yeah but it wasn't this... bumpy" Brighteyes said urping putting a hoof in front of her muzzle.
Brightglow kept her head ducked in the 2nd observation window "Oh this would be fun to fly in, theres thermals everywhere."
"Nice of him to give us a ride." Ace said, as the plane droped again.
"Ugg... lucky Bonn Bonn isn't here, can you picture here." Patch said with a giggle.
Brighteyes cringed "Oh please don't, my stomach is bad enough as is."

Asunder 24
Melody woke up to the sound of her alarm clock, rolling over and turning it off she got up still tired. Heading into the shower she washed up and shampooed her mane and tail before drying off. Sitting on her bed she blowdryed her mane and tail and brushed them out looking at herself in the mirror as she did.
"Melody, breakfast time"
Blinking she looked at the door, "Coming mom." Standing, she headed down to the kitchen, her mom was already down there, her nurses hat on, making eggs and toast, so she took a seat.
"Sleep well, hun?"
Melody blinked looking up "Yeah mom, weird dreams though. I was in the park, and you were there, and some pony i had never seen."
"Sounds like mine, I have to go into the hospital today, on call helping those injured." she said laying out Melody's breakfast.
"He was all white, with a blue mane and tail." Melody giggled.
Her mom blinked looking down at Melody, "With a pink rose...."
"And two coiled snakes in the medical sign..." Mel said blinking too..
"And he said he had the twins and they were safe..."
"I think we had the same dream. Who was he?" Melody asked.
"I don't know, I've never seen him before but he reminded me allot of your dad."
"I miss dad... and the twins..."
Her mom came over and sat down hugging her gently, "I know, but after the dream I kinda felt like they were safe."
* * * * *
"Don't worry, your safe."
Carl sat up blinking taking the cold compress of his for head. "What was in that drink?"
"Local herbs, nothing special." The old man said tapping his cane back to sit by the fire.
Looking around Carl saw the twins with the painted mare, and his daughter Tina sitting by the fire sipping from a cup.
"OK how did we get here, and where are we?"
"You were brought here."
Carl looked at the old man tapping a foot, "I know that, by who? How?"
"Tworivers brought you here, he is part of a AIM, and found out that the FBI was going to do a raid."
"AIM?"
From behind a young man wearing jeans and a t-shirt spoke as he walked in "American Indian Movement, We are warriors of the first nation, defending the old ways."
Carl looked up as the man, in his mid 20's knelt and stroked the ponies. "Normally we would not get involved in... white mans... matters, but the elders said you had been chosen by the great spirits."
"Well thanks, I think." Carl said turning back to the old man "I swear I was drugged, had a dream about mustang spirits, and..."
"Drugged? Sounds more like you had yourself a vision." Tworivers said looking down at Carl. "Though given you being a whiteman, I'll bet dream."
"I told you, the great spirits have chosen you." The old man said.
"So's the FBI, Federal burrow of intimidation trashed your trailer, don't worry, we'll get you a new one, FEMA's nice enough to supply us with some, for you." Tworivers chuckled.
"Trashed how?" Carl blinked
"Oh, they turned it into a gazebo. Someone must really want you dead cuz they fired nearly 200 bullets into and through it."
Jing-a-ling roled over and yawned "Mommy???"
Carl got up and stroked her mane speaking softly, "Its OK little one."
"Did that just speak?" Tworivers asked blinking before getting glared at by the Raindancer and nipped at once. "Ok ok, no questions, but best you hide out here a while."
* * * * *
"So whats the plan Ace?" Teddy asked sitting down beside him watching the girls snack.
` "Well Starlight said she found out about some old ruins from BP. So we are going to go check them out, see if theres anything we can find that will help Brightglow." Ace said packing some fruit into his bag.
"BP?" Sweetheart asked as she came over sitting beside Teddy.
"Before Ponies, an then theres AP after ponies. in other words human ruins we think." Starlight said looking up at them.
"Not another long walk," Bon Bon whined "I'll need to pack allot more food."
"Or not eat as much," Teddy said before getting glaired at by Sweetheart, "What? If she doesn't want to carry that much food, she's just gonna have to eat less."
Sweetheart opened her mouth to say something then stooped as she saw rarity starting to head over, with a sigh she leaned against Teddy. Standing up behind Sweetheart on her hind legs stardancer stretched out, horn glowing softly as she formed a ball of light. Seeing the light was more then enough to discourage Rarity from coming any closer and she sat at a distance.
"Thanks." Sweetheart whispered.
"For what? I'm just stretching." Stardancer said softly, trying to look innocent.

Asunder 25
“Are you sure this is safe?” Bright-eyes asked looking nervous.
Brightglow giggled softly “I can fly, remember, besides, I’m just taking a look around, the plane isn’t supposed to land till first light so I’m going down.”
Lancer watched nervously as Brightglow stood with her back to the door, one houf on the door jam. Nodding once she fell backwards out of the aircraft. “I hope she’ll be ok,” Lancer said closing the door and locking it again.
Tumbled by the prop wash and speed of the aircraft it took a second before Brightglow got herself into a streamlined nose down dive. The air rushing past her as she waited till she was out of the disturbances caused by the airplane, then spread her wings pulling out of the dive, only a few hundred feet above the ground. Turning tightly she came almost face to face with a great bald eagle, and it took her collapsing one wing and flipping sideways mid air to avoid it.
The eagle back winged and climbed shrieking angrily at the winged unicorn, before turning to fly north.
Brightglow blinked “Sorry, didn’t see you there.” shaking her head she dropped over the tree’s flying low “Birds.”
As she flew she could see paths and trails weaving their way through the tree‘s, a long stream meandered down from the hills, signs of life everywhere including deer and other large herbivores. As she climbed again she heard the sounds of a wolf howling mournful in the night air.
Shaking her head Brightglow began circling the “There has got to be a way, I know they are down there somewhere.”
To the north the cry of the eagle was heard again, as the great bird came up from the tree’s then the sound of a horse whinnying, blinking she turned and started flying towards the bird.
* * * * *
The group walked down the path, looking around as they moved, the trails seem to have been abandon long ago, and nature had taken them back, grass poked up between the stones. Every few dozen lengths a large weathered and hewed rock jutted up, 4 sided ending in a rounded point, each with a mark or set of marks, some looking like waves, others like strange writing. Many of these markers were broken at different heights
“Is it much farther, I’m really out of gas,” Bon Bon whined softly.
Ace slowed down and took Bon Bon’s pack off her back, “I’ve got it, but its still pretty far from what Starlight said.”
Teddy, watching ace, stopped and took Sweethearts pack too putting it on his back.
Starlight looked to Stardancer, “Darn just our luck, no boys to carry our gear for us.”
“Well we can always prove we are the strong independent girls that can carry our own gear,” Stardancer said giggling.
Bon Bon looked at the two, “Hey my packs heavier then yours though, its not my fault.” “I know Bon Bon, but you did choose to load down with a lot more food then the rest of us,” Said Starlight and patted Bon Bon’s back gently. “Besides, were just teasing you.”
Ace chuckled “I could always carry your bag too Starlight, I am the best athlete at school after all.”
“I know Ace,” Starlight looked at him smiling “but I’ve got it, I’m fine.”
“Wow….”
Everyone glanced at Stardancer then down the path stopping. The tree’s had parted, revealing a valley that looked much like the caldera of a volcano, probably 30 or 40 miles across, the sides dropping sharply around the edge of it, and on the far side, part of a spire could be seen coming out of the tree’s. 2 large spires, and 1 broken at the middle could be seen, even a this distance.
“Another days walk and we’ll be there,” Ace said with a sigh.
