Medium - Plane Ponies - How Blitz and Anon Met

-On Earth

>It's been a long 3 months of work, rest and more work.
>You're fucking tired from fixing the A-10 you found in a old aircraft hanger
>The damn thing was torn apart and rusty as hell but you want to see it fly
>You've heard stories about these things and there massive forward mounted cannons tearing targets apart from low strafing runs
>You sit down in your chair surrounded in aircraft parts
"What happened to this thing?"
>You look over the collection of computer components that more or less make up the brain of the aircraft
>It looks like it has taken years of abuse and mistreatment
>Yet the fucker still works
>Goddamn those vets knew what they were talking about when they said these things could take a hit
>You put your tools down and head to bed for the night, Maybe tomorrow you can re install these electronic bits and get back to working on the engines

-On Earth next day

>You wake up with your heart racing and mind on the edge of snapping
>What the fuck was that
>You saw things that should be impossible
>You climb out of bed and try to get your mind right through the massive headache
>Pouring your cereal results in a table covered in corn puffs
>You take a deep breath and try to calm down
>A shower, that's what you need
>The hot water quickly slows your heart back to a normal pace as the steam surrounds you
"Ok... Deep breaths."
>You get out of the shower feeling much better and proceed to get ready for work
>Arriving on the job site you notice the lack of workers and other mechanics
>Confused you check your watch
>3:48AM
>You facepalm
>Of course no one is here, the shift starts at 5AM
>Sighing you get out of your truck and walk into the hanger
>There she is. The fruit of your labor.
>The A-10 stands proud in the hanger with gleaming parts and fresh paint
>Your mind drifts back to the day you opened this hanger and found the battered remains of this powerful machine
>It's been a hell of a ride and she's almost ready to fly
>You get to work re installing the electrical systems that keep the monster in the air when you see a flash out of the corner of your eye
>You whip your head around to greet the person who walked in
"Bout' time yo-"
>No one is there
"Is anyone th-"
>A loud explosion rips through the hanger filling it with light
>You grab on to the lip of the cockpit as the intense wind trys to pull you in
>Your hand gives in time to see the entire aircraft fly after you...




-Unknown Location

>You burst through the other side of you now make out to be a portal and start tumbling across the grass
>you come to a skidding halt and hear a scream before turning back to the blinding portal
>Seconds behind you the massive A-10 comes flying through
>You hear the crash of metal and glass getting closer as the aircraft tumbles towards you
>It stops not four feet from you
>You sigh and pass out
...
>You wake up in a undersized hospital bed surrounded in what looks like colorful horses
>Must be the drugs you think to yourself as you drift in and out of consciousness
>You mind drifts back to the hanger and what happened
>Thoughts of the A-10 you poured weeks into being smashed to pieces brings a tear to your eye
>The pain killers make you pass back out
...
>You shoot upright in your bed gasping for air and looking around
"Where the fuc-"
>You here a "Eeep!" beside you and turn to look
>There's a Blue and white horse thing with a horn on it's head cowering in the corner
>"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-"
"GAAHH! You can talk!?
>"Y-yes we all can."
"I-I got to get the fuck out of here."
>You stand up on wobbly legs and make for the door only to be confronted by a white horse with a nurse hat
"Sir please sit bac-MUPHH"
>You shove her away by the face and try to find an exit
>You feel a prick of pain on the back of your neck and grab at it
>Your holding a empty syringe
>why would....it... be........
>Your vision goes dark and you fall over
...
>You wake up again in a small bed
>You try to get up but quickly find that your hands are bound
>"Glad to see you're awake"
>You turn to your left and see the white mare from earlier
"What are you?"
>"Me? I'm Nurse Redheart, I work here."
"I mean WHAT are you?"
>She looks at you confused then realizes what you mean
>"Oh! I'm an earth pony!
>She says with smile and a wag of her tail
"Talking horses. Great. I think I finally snapped."
>"No, You're sane according to the tests we ran on you."
"You ran tests on me?"
>"Nothing invasive, checked for head trauma and internal bleeding, that sort of thing."
"And how does that tell you I'm sane?"
>"Magic."
"Magic?"
>Magic."
>You sigh, this is going to be more complex then you thought
>Thinking back you do recall seeing a blue mare with a horn on her head
"Who was that mare in my room when I first woke up?"
>"Oh her? That was Colgate, one of our helpers and the one that reported you."
>That explains the scream...
>At least you didn't get hit by the pl-
"MY PLANE!"
>"Wha-"
>You turn to her
"PLANE! That thing I came through with! Do you know what happened to it!?"
>"Ummm that other mare? she was surrounded by guards last time I saw her."
"We have to get there an-. Wait what? Mare? A plane is a machine. Not a horse."
>"You need to re-"
>The door opens as a male unicorn walks in with his pegisi assistant
>"Let's see here, unknown species, unknown origin with minor head wounds and moderate bruising."
>He looks up from his clipboard
>"And he's awake! Wonderful! Redheart, how's his communication skills?"
>"Fine Doctor Trauma, He speaks the same language as us miraculously."
>"Outstanding!"
>He turns to you
>"How are you?"
>You look at your current situation
"Tied up and sore."
>"Very good!"
"No, not good. I want to see my plane!"
>"I assume you're talking about the one that was with you? Quite the interesting subject she is, Skin made of some kind of metallic substance."
"Yes! Her...it...Whatever I want to see her."
>"That's all fine and dandy but I need something from you first. Last time you were loose you damn near gave Redheart here a concussion. I need you to promise us you won't go doing that again."
>You look at Nurse Redheart and notice the bandage wrapped around her head
"Sorry about that, You've got yourself a deal Doc."
>"Splendid! Right this way then."
>Your restraints are surrounded by a blue glow and loosen
>You look at Nurse Redheart confused
>"Magic."
>You shrug and get up



>You follow the Doctor down the hallway to your plane's room
>Because an aircraft needs a hospital room
>Doc Trauma turns to you
>"She's right this way Mr...?"
"Anon."
>"Alright, Right this way."
>He shows you into a room with a bed surrounded in curtains
>"Blitz dear, How are you holding up?"
>"UNTIE ME AND LET ME GO DAMMIT!"
>"You have a visitor!"
>You hear struggling from behind the curtains
"Why Blitz?"
>"She called it her "Callsign" or something like that."
"Huh..."
>You pull back the curtains and see what looks like a metal pony with miniature A-10 parts bolted on and a very angry expression
>As soon as she sees you she freezes
>"You... I-I know you..."
>You're at a loss for words
>A half pony half aircraft is trying to talk to you
>And it knows who you are
"Uhhh...."
>"Y-you fixed me when the air force left me to rot in that hole."
>"You saved me."
>You take a seat next to her and sigh
"When I saw that A-10 in shambles I almost cried, To see something that served us so reliably in that condition. I put months of working fixing it... You up so I could see you fly like the old war Vets said."
"They didn't make it easy though. I had to basically beg the higher ups to get the funding and equipment I needed to fix you. In the end they saw the upside of me being out of their hair for a few months so I got the go ahead."
>You reach for her restraints and untie her
>Once she's untied she starts testing her new limbs to see how they move
>Noting how the other ponies are standing in the room she tried to get to her hooves...
>And fails
>Redheart helps her get to her hooves
>"So uhh..... Where to?"
>You turn and look at the Doctor
>"What? OH! Yes, as I was about to say before you pulled the curtain open. You're not the first to come through one of those portals and neither is she!
"Wait, there are other humans here?"
>"Well... that's less true... You see you're the first one that didn't get flattened by the debris flying through after you."
"So there are others like her?"
>"Yeah. We've been getting them once and a while for the better part of 7 months now. Enough of them came through that they got together and talked to the princesses about getting a place to live."
"Let me guess, they called it an Airport?"
>"Nope, from what I heard it's call the Airbase. It's close by if you want to go see it.
"I think I should focus on getting home first. I don't really think I should be here."
>"We've been trying to get a portal to reopen for the last few months with no success. Besides that, none of the others like her want to go back to be machines. They're happier here."
"Well I still have to try..."
>"And a lot of them are having medical problems I cannot diagnose due to their mechanical nature."
"But I...."
>Everyone in the room is looking at you now
>You're the only one who knows anything about aircraft that could help them
>If you leave they would slowly rust away
>The image of Blitz in her hanger comes to mind
"I'll stay. Because if I don't no one else can help them."
>You see Blitz smile out of the corner of your eye as the Doctor leads you to the front doors and into a carriage
>"Thanks Anon..."

>It takes about an hour to reach the "Airbase" as they call it
>You hop out of the carriage and look around
>It looks like an airport fucked that big city on the mountain and got its building style
