“This is absolutely fascinating.” Twilight said, looking excitedly at the group of four tiny humans. The giant alicorn ponies had gathered around them, laying on the floor on their stomach, their legs folded nicely under them. Between them laid a pillow where they had lifted the humans, who in turn were sitting on it. The pillow was of course huge to them, big enough that a house would have fit inside it.
They had just finished a short explanation of where they came from and the situation on Earth.
“A whole technologically advanced civilization, created by tiny being like you.” Twilight looked at the ceiling smiling, imagining all the marvels they had told her existed in their world, before returning to look at them.
“But so many wars and suffering…” Luna said quietly.
“Well, it is getting better…” Susan said, taking a step closer to Luna.
“Either case, you understand why we must proceed with great care.” Celestia said, making Susan swallow a bit and others showed being nervous too.
“Princess Celestia…” James stood up, though a bit shakily on a soft pillow. “We do not wish any harm or problems…”
“Oh, that is certain, the well-being and safety of ponies are my first priorities.” Celestia said firmly but then softened her expression. “But we would like to learn more and continue the relationship of our people.”
“We would like to learn more of you too…” James said and paused when a thought came to his mind. “Maybe we could stay here for a bit longer. For that purpose.” He said, while looking up at the enormous alicorn in front of him.
Celestia smiled gently. “That would be wonderful. At least few days would be fine and maybe my former student would like to take you as guests to her home.” She said, turning her head to Twilight.
“Oh, I would be happy to!” Twilight said quickly, and brought her head down towards Susan and the others. “Would you like to come and live with me for a few days?” She asked.
“I would be honoured, Princess.” Susan grinned, using her title since the ponies had explained who they were, and she was actually quite excited to live and see what is like being here.
“Oh, call me Twilight.” Twilight waved her hoof, blushing a little.
“Well, ah…” James cleared his throat. “I would like to stay here, but Susan can go with Twilight.” He said.
“I will go with Miss Matthews.” Miller said. “If that is okay?” He looked at Susan, who nodded.
“Do you really want to split up?” Jacob asked. “I don’t like the idea…” He muttered.
“We will be fine, Twilight is with us after all.” Susan assured him.
“It is not that, but all right…” Jacob nodded. “I will then remain here with James. Someone has to keep eye on him.” He grinned, earning a look from the older man.
“It is settled then.” Celestia said, standing up to her two hundred meter tall full height. “Twilight will take Susan and… I am sorry.” She said suddenly. “Mr. Miller, perhaps first names would be better.” She said with a smile.
The Marine Sergeant grinned a bit. “It is John, Princess.” He said, rubbing the back of his head.
“John.” Celestia smiled sweetly and brought her head down. “So Susan and John will travel back to Ponyville with Twilight, while Jacob and James stay here.” She explained.
“Great!” Twilight grinned excited. “I will bring them back after a few days so they can all return to their world.” She said.
“But we also need to decide how we continue this after that.” Luna said, concern in her voice.
“I don’t see why we shouldn’t stay in touch with the tinies.” Celestia said. “We can open the portal when we want and visit their world as well as bring them here to visit ours.” She said, looking both Luna and Twilight and then turning her face to the humans. “But at this point, enjoy our hospitality.” She said with a smile.
===
Susan and John watched as Twilight levitated her saddle bags on her back and then turned towards them. “It amazes me that they can do that, seeming with no effort.” John said quietly.
Susan nodded. “Yeah… Twilight explained that it comes naturally to unicorns and alicorns, but by practising they can become more talented and powerful using it.”
Twilight looked them a bit shyly. “If you don’t mind, I would like to keep you out of sight, at least until we reach the train. It won’t take long, I promise.” She said.
Susan and John looked at each other and then back at Twilight, nodding. “All right, Twilight but where are you going to…” Susan started. Twilight let out a small giggle and patted the pocket of her saddlebags. “Right here. Don’t worry, you will be safe.”
“Uh… It is okay, I guess…” Susan stammered and they were suddenly lifted into the air by an invisible force. “Ah! You could warn us next time you do that!” Susan yelped, feeling her stomach lurching as they were lifted higher and higher.
“Sorry…” Twilight said shyly and carefully levitated the two towards her saddlebags. Susan swallowed a bit again, as she was floated closer to the enormous form of Twilight. She was about the length of football field, from the tip of the tail to her nose, and was covered with uniform, soft purple fur, except the star shaped sign on her flank.
The pocket of the saddle bag opened and they were floated in on the bottom of it. “Hmm… This is not that bad…” John muttered as he tried to peer out between the seams of the saddlebag. “I can even see out a little.”
Susan on the other hand went on to touch the other side of the saddlebag. She smiled as she could feel that the fabric a little bit warm from Twilight’s body heat. “This is incredible…” She sighed, smiling. “I want to come back many times!”
“Let’s just wait until we have seen it all-- Woah!” John begun and fell down as the bag suddenly tilted and moved. Twilight had begun to trot, presumably towards the train station, making standing impossible for the tiny humans inside the bags. “I hope that they start to be a little more careful with us around…” John muttered.
Eventually, after a somewhat uncomfortable ride, they were float out by Twilight and lowered next to a huge window. It took a moment for them to realize that they were in a huge train car and on the platform they could see other ponies, all as huge as Twilight and in all the colours they could imagine.
“Aw, look, they have children too! Er.. Foals…” Susan said, pointing at the few smaller ponies that were clearly with their parents. “Wow…” Susan breathed, as they saw the outside for the first time when the train began to move. She looked back at Twilight. “How long this will take?”
“We should be there before sundown.” Twilight said, and looked around, making sure that nopony else had come in their car.
John sat down beside the window. “I just hope those two will also be okay…” He muttered as he watched the Canterlot Castle leaving behind.
===
While Twilight was travelling to Ponyville with Susan and John, the Sun was getting lower and inside the Canterlot Castle, Jacob walking around, too excited to sit still and looked around the enormous room. Through the windows and closed glass doors, which seemed to lead to a balcony, the setting Sun was colouring the room with golden light.
“Pretty exciting, huh?” A voice behind him said, making Jacob jump a little.
“James, don’t do that!” He whispered, but then nodded. “This place is too amazing…” He said dreamily, turning back to look ahead again. “Too bad we can’t explore it…”
“Who says we can’t.” James said, stepping next to Jacob.
“The Princesses did.” Jacob said. “You heard them.”
“Oh come on, aren’t you a little curious… lets go.” James grinned, nodding towards the vast floor. “Who knows what we can find there. Besides, I want to take a good look at the palace, and I can’t do that in here.” He turned towards the door. “We go that way.”
“The doors are closed.” Jacob protested.
“I bet we are small enough to squeeze between the doors, or under them.” James said, thinking as he estimated the distance. “Hmm, maybe about a kilometer there. Maybe a ten minute walk, five if we hurry.”
“Yea, that reminds me. Look how small we are, if a pony comes and doesn’t see us…” Jacob said shivering a little. “We end up being just a stain on the floor.”
“We will be careful, Jacob! Where is your curiosity?” James insisted, starting to pull Jacob with him.
Reluctantly Jacob agreed and the two men hurried across the room, towards the door. As James had guessed, there was just enough room between the door and the floor for them to crawl under. They squeezed through and stood up, looking at the ceiling that seemed to be at least a mile from them. But everything was so big that it was difficult to estimate distances.
They decided to stay right next to the wall and slowly made their way until they reached the next door. “Excellent, the doors are similar so we can easily go from room to room.” James grinned, and got down on his stomach to crawl in.
Jacob looked around a moment, seeing no-one, and even hearing a sound. “I hope you know what you are doing…” He muttered as he too got down and crawled under the door. He stood up and observed the new room. James was already standing and doing the same thing. It was similarly luxurious as Celestia’s room. The Sun had set during their way to here but a Moon had risen and was dimly illuminating the room. A huge bed stood in the corner but the bedsheets were straight and they didn’t hear anything. Also there was a similar balcony but the doors were wide open.
“Looks like whoever lives here, isn’t home.” James said and started to walk across the room.
“Where are you going?” Jacob asked as he followed him, keeping his voice quiet just in case.
“I want to look at the city from that balcony.” He nodded towards it. “Hey, since we will be spending few days here and if we can find out a way out, we can discover more, you know, gather intelligence, during nights without ponies knowing about it.” James said, turning his head to Jacob.
“Yea, but it feels bad to take advantage of their hospitality.” Jacob muttered quietly.
“Relax, they will never know.” James waved his hand dismissively as they reached the doors and walked into the balcony. Just as they were in the open, both saw a huge, dark figure gliding towards the balcony, and recognized it as the other pony princess, Luna.
Princess Luna glided down on her balcony and her shoes made a quiet sound as they touched the polished marble surface. Luna was looking down as she landed and happened to notice movement on the floor. She squinted her eyes to see and then opened them wide as she recognized the two tiny figures who were running away from her at a snail’s pace.
“Ahem…” She said as she took a single step, effortlessly catching them.
Jacob and James turned to look as Princess Luna stepped closer, her huge, covered hooves making a metallic sound against the hard surface. They looked up and up as the giant alicorn stood right in front of them, towering over them like a somekind of goddess.
A mischievous smile developed on Luna’s lips and she activated her magic, carefully lifting the two tiny humans from the floor.
Both men screamed as they were lifted higher and higher by the irresistible force until they were in front Luna’s face. “Gentlemen…” Luna smirked. “While we might enjoy your company… Would you like to explain what were you doing here at this hour… In our bedroom?” Luna spoke quietly, but the tone alone send shivers down the spines of the two men.
Luna walked inside, closing the balcony door with her magic and climbed on her bed, setting herself down on her stomach, while carrying the two tinies in her magical grip. She lowered them on the bed, between her forelegs. “Now… We would like to hear an explanation for this intrusion.” She said firmly, smirking at the two terrified tiny humans near her hooves.
To be continued...
Well, that "exploration" didn't last long. XD
Called it, James did something foolish.
This kind of thing is a bit tiresome. Short explanation of humanity, and it has to include that kind of details? Like a badge of shame (or honor) to wave around? Couldn't people representing humanity be more positive? I mean, if it's the presence of the military there, the ponies have their own with the Royal Guard, so that isn't that surprising.
Well, nice to see some bonding between the two races, but I'm wondering when everything is going to go wrong...
"Oooooooooooooooh bust-ed!"
The humans as Quests to Twilights home?
7556115 Oops. Guest, not quest.
7556110 Ha! indeed, I wonder what Luna does to them.
7556024 We know the situation here, so I thought to recap it would be a kind of redundant. I did include the positive side of humanity, as commented by Twilight, so I had to put Luna's line there too.
7555938 Heh, nope.
7556173 also they stay "Fight" next to a wall, But i think that should have been everything. Cant wait for the next chapter
7556235 Thanks, I am glad someone is paying attention
"Quiet", I think? Although at their size, her hoofsteps might make "quite" the sound, too.
Now you've got me wondering about the physics of their situation. I mean... the old adage is, "Gravity is kind to small animals." Are the tinies subject to the relative scaling of Equestria, and thus effectively immune to harm from long falls? Or do they carry their native physics with them? It's all very weird.
Now the explanation they give should be interesting!
7557065 Thanks, and heh, true.
I will ignore the physics in this story. ;) Yea, I know that the size difference would be a huge problem in reality: If the ponies are that huge, they wouldn't be able to even hold their own weigh, let alone walk. And if humans were that tiny, would they be able to even live? There is a reason why the heartbeat of smallest mammals is like 1000 per minute and whale heart beats only few times per minute.
7557918 The Ponies only violate the laws of physics, if they are made of plain old matter. In many fictional universes, like HxH, Dragonball, RWBY etc characters perform physically impossible tasks, because they have some sort of aura, ki, nen, chi, chakra or whatever, that allows them to smash trough entire mountains without taking any damage, but if you take away that energy, theyd be as vulnerable as a regular person. Even superman couldnt do any superhuman feats if he wasnt powered by our suns radiation.
And there are actually hints for something like that happening in MLP too: When Tirek stole magic from the ponies, he, according to celestia, stole the earth ponies strength and the pegasis flight, which makes sense, since their wings are too small for creatures their size, so they probably use some sort of airbending to fly (and waterbending to frozone moisture out of the air to make cloud-trails) all powered by their magic.
Earth pony magic also interacts with plants, as they are the only ones who can grow food, and in the S5 Finales Nightmare Moon timeline, equestria has been cast in eternal night for several years now, and the vegetation hasnt died off yet, so maybe equestrian chlorophyl proceses earth magic instead of sunlight?
Anyway, back to Kaiju-Ponies. it would make sense, if they had some sort of magical support to carry their weight, or maybe matter itself is magic in equestria, like, if atoms consist of protons, neutrons, electrons AND magitrons? (or something like that, that doesnt sound stupid) That would also explain why ponymade constructions are able to exist, without collapsing under their own weight.
Or the magic-matter thingy AND a magical aura on top of that? Twilight survived being crushed by anvills and pianos with ony minor injuries, that were already healed at the end of the day, and was able to lift Tom the boulder without using telekinesis, yet shes called "just a little pony" by AJ and rainbow in winter wrap up and fall weather friends! I cant imagine the faces the humans in your story would make if they saw Maud or Lilly Longsocks pull of their superstrength or just regular ponies doing regular stuff (In the next eg-movie the humane 7 gain new "superpowers" but so far those seem to be "regular powers" by pony-standards )
Also, have you considered using physics to create shenanigans? (like mlp did with sunset in "the science of magic")
Like, if the humans decide to relocate the spawnpoint for the ponies from right-next-to-random-town to area 51, or some other area more convenient for them, so Twilight, or any of the other twilights have to go move to the new location first to set up the spawn. Stomping halfway across the continent is one possibility to get there, another one would be flying, unless the non-magical air cant support her weight (or only for a little while, untill she moves to far away from the original portal and the magic-air that came through with her before she crashes) Another possibility would be teleportation, unless it turns out, that they have to "recalibrate" first, as without the interference of ambient magic, the teleportation spell can travel much further on earth that it can in equestria, sending her to a random location.
Of course, they can also use a Shrink-spell to make them human sized, or at least so small, that they could (almost) fit through doors without cracking the doorframe with their pony strength.. Of course, the human world being a magical vacuum could cause the spell to wear off faster than they expected.... On the bright side: Its highly unlikely that that could ever happen to the pegasus/alicorns Cloudwalk-ability, and even if it does, it wouldnt really matter in the human world, since they dont have to walk on clouds while they are there, although that ability allowed fluttershy once to be carried by a cloud of butterflies, so its theoretically possible for that ability to allow them to walk on other things, that would normally be too fragile to carry a ponies weight, like, for example the soil of a non-magical world, allowing them to only leave behind 1 meter deep hoofprints instead of 10 meter deep hoofprints...
7557065 I think it woul be cooler, if the physics are the same between universes, just their magic makes the ponies strong enough to carry their weight. Also with the square-cubic law their relative strength should increase, if they shrink themselves down (like ants can carry 10+ times their own bodyweight)
7571313 Thank you for the post, that was interesting and sorry for late reply.
The world of MLP would certainly offer magical solution, I decided to go against that, because it would have to work with Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth ponies. Maybe I will write a story where I take what you suggested into account but for now, the point of this story is interaction between humans and giant ponies. :D Humans can live normally in their world and ponies can in ours.
7583264 Thats OK. I just thought the scientists among the humans would be interested in how ponies work, and get their mind blown by things, that are just mundane to ponies.
I´m not sure, what you meant by "it had to work with unicorns, pegasi and earth ponies" as all ponies have magic
such as Cutie-Mark-magic or Hoof/Tail-magic.
Like in "Oops, i´m equine again" where Pony-Sunset plays guitar with her hooves and Human-Rainbow is like WTF.
Or Fluttershy using her tail to catch buckballs, despite it being only made of hair.
Or in Doctor Whooves and Assistant with ponies having pockets and stuff.
Of course the other way around works too, with humans showing them technology.
But be it Main-Story, Spin-Off or a completely seperate thing, i´m sure you will do something great with that
7583587 I was thinking Unicorn magic, and Pegasi and Earth Ponies obviously can't use magic like that.
7589291 Oh, by "magical solution", you meant stuff like shrinking or otherwise casting spells to making them it easier to interact with the human world? Yeah, that would only work for spellcasters like unicorns and alicorns (Unless they cast the spells for the others, every single time, like with the cloud-walk spell in episode 16).
At first i thought you were talking about the invisible magical aura to defy the square-cubic law, which would have fit within the innate abilities, all pony tribes naturally have, even if they dont know that they have those, cause to them its as natural as breathing, so they dont question it, and they never met a lifeform, that doesnt have an aura, so they wouldnt know, what it does.
Like how they are freaked out, by how the everfree forest is "not natural" cause plants grow and clouds move all on their own, due some strange mystic power, that they cant explain.
So it would make sense, if they are confused, why animals in the human world, like whales, would be crushed under their own weight if they get bigger than 15 centimeters (by equestrian meassurements), maybe theres some strange invisible force flying around that just likes squishing big things? Spooky
Luna living doll house lol just kidding
7589291 just checking in, its been a while since the last chapter, and youve been offline for 5 weeks now, i hope everythings ok. No rush, but an update would be nice.
Can you do a free story for me? Its called "The Macro Changeling Queen in Real Life." Make her about 2,000 feet tall. The reason why I am suggesting this is because there's a new movie coming out called Colossal and it looks cool. Here:
Can you do the same thing only with Queen Chrysalis instead of the Monster.
Its about a woman who gets control of a giant monster. In this story she gets control of a Colossal Changeling.
Please make it happen.
if your interested please add your story to our group Equestrian Kaiju
Really? you make 2 adults scientists (or 1 adult and 1 military) act like children exploring a new place?
I can understand visiting Equestria, I can even understand staying for a few more days in Equestria.
but adults acting as irresponsible teenagers is a bit too much, good thing you stopped the train before it derailed fully and become something like wish fulfillment fics.
let's see...
you're not going take an invitation from a giant alien without consulting with a superior and even so, they'll be more wary instead of acting as a behaved children going to a candy store.
the biologist and the astrologist staying a few more days to observe better the life of alien form is acceptable, but the geologist and the military make less sense, yes, they could want to stay the extra days to enjoy the place, but at least one must go back to report that the others are going to stay a few more days.
No, seriously... really? If a person you just met (let's say he is a friend of your friend to make it easier) invites you to his/her house and you accept, you're going to stay in the living room or you're going to explore every corner of the person's house when they are not looking? exploring the house of someone like that, unless permitted, is very rude.
if you even tries to continue this story one day, fix these mistakes, please.
