Metal gear Dash

Lightning Dust snapped her fingers which got Vinyl out her trance. Vinyl shook her head of the memory when they first met each other in a rather rude way for Lightning that was. There was another awkward silence where Vinyl felt uncomfortable again, but she decided to take a different approach to a conversation. She cleared her throat and decided to speak from what she meant by ' pile of bodies' in the first place.

" Lightning, I hope you don't mind me asking, but when we first met you seemed to have a mission didn't you?" Vinyl asked.

" Yeah what of it?" Lightning scoffed. Somehow her attitude actually made Vinyl more interested in asking since she honestly liked anyone with a bad attitude, cocky or confident if they had any of those then they were alright in her book. She sat down in a chair where she was now in front of Lightning Dust's bed and now looked at her sheepishly again. She was very nosy now and was seriously interested on what her story was behind being a cyborg. If she started with that then maybe she could go on to the first mission.

" Well, I'm curious to ask you about what made you join Raven Blood to become a machine." Vinyl told her. Lightning changed her sneering into a confused look as she tilted her head at that statement.

" Why are you so interested? I'm already in a bigger mess and now I have to wait for my repairs later on so I don't think I'd have enough-" Vinyl closed and locked the door before she continued and looked back at her with a grin.

" There now you have all the time you need." Vinyl ranted.

" You do know that they could just open the door with the key right?" Vinyl sighed. She was now starting to remind her of Octavia whenever she happened to make things difficult and just speak before something happened. However Lightning decided to speak after just mere seconds.

" First of all I was only partially a cyborg before this war started. I was also independent and killed anybody that tried to kill me. If they didn't back off if they asked me who I worked for they die. If they try to ambush me when they didn't even know me I'll rip them to pieces or rip their throats out. I didn't know why they considered me an enemy, but later on I had my answer. Raven's crew Project Nanomachines or just Project N for short. I learned about them and it's some weird armor that's nearly impossible to even crack. I don't know what it's made of, but it was very tough. So I hatched a plan to myself that I would disturb their resources of the armor. I'm very surprised though that after the damage I did he actually took me in to get processed." Lightning explained. " Now if your that curious on my first mission it's elementary. Just destroy a base from Saddle Arabia. Not like they'll do anything about it."

" Whoa, whoa go back a bit, how were you captured and what do you mean by processed." Vinyl asked curiously.

" Why do you need to know? You went through it too, didn't you?" Vinyl shook her head and rubbed it sheepishly as she told her how she got in. She begged for life again and she wanted her lost limbs again. She wasn't thinking straight so she completely forgot that Octavia died at the time so now she remembers and she's cyborg while she's at a better place. Lightning Dust snickered at her explanation.

" Well if your really interested about my little plan then here was how I go. First off the place was heavily fortified which meant it must of been every important to them. However a little High Frequency bullets took care of the guards at the entrance. After that all I really did was tangle with some ordinary soldiers so they were easy to kill thanks to my little cyborg body-" Vinyl cuts her off when she remembered the resemblance from Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust's enhancements which ticked her off of the memory.

" First off, mine was only a freakin prototype of the actual second class armor. Raven Blood never did have any great scientist. Anyway, while I was infiltrating I happened to run into just two soldiers and apparently, they had nanomachine enhancements. HF bullets or my attacks were able to even scratch them so my only option was to just retreat and hope for the best which happened for a while. If you want a short story I basically succeeded, but before I could leave I had one more guy to deal with and I think I need to tell Rainbow Dash when I get the chance. He's still alive." Lightning Dust told her.

" What happened? Were you killed then revived?" Vinyl asked, assuming that she suffered the same way she did.

" No! I lost my bucking arms and nearly my head if it wasn't for Raven Blood appearing at the last second. That cyborg was a monster. He was able to decapitate five soldiers with two blades. Well now you mostly know how I became processed to be a mere prototype and here I am still living because of her." Lightning Dust groaned. Vinyl grinned for a moment, but stopped due to her deathly glare.

" I hope your just happy about my awesome accomplishment since this war would of been a huge hassle if I didn't shatter their supply." Vinyl nodded and decided to leave now since scientist might come to check on her. Now wandering a bit aimlessly she could remember that Rainbow Dash was suppose to get a repair and enhancements. Normally whenever this happens to her she remembers that they usually send that cyborg to sleep and strap them up like marionettes and do the repairs like that. Now she learns of a little more embarrassing method that these Equestrians use to repair cyborgs ( so far Rainbow Dash is the prime subject). Vinyl found Twilight due to her complaining of a method of binding Rainbow Dash to repair her. The DJ never expected to see that Rainbow Dash was inside of a chamber that was blindly white and she could see that Rainbow Dash's body still had a hole in it, but her limbs were strapped in place and spread as he motionless wings were held in place as the mechanical one had plugs nearly all over it and her organic wing was injected by blue fluids. Vinyl tried not to laugh since Rainbow Dash was seriously in a very helpless position and who knew what the scientist were injected in her? A drug perhaps? She turned to see Twilight who looked concerned ( probably of the embarrassing position Rainbow was going to find herself in) and was slightly blushing as she continued to stare at the chamber.

" Well isn't this a cute sight huh?" Vinyl asked as she placed her hands behind her head. Twilight flinched at her voice and tried her hardest not to slap Vinyl for those words since it only revealed feelings that would make Vinyl just tease her more. Instead the Alicorn was silent as she blankly stared at Rainbow Dash more with more embarrassment on her face.

" Hey, are you sure that they aren't injecting sexual fluid inside her? You know since scientist can pretty much do anything." The moment she said a loud SMACK was heard across the whole hospital which made everyone turn their attention to the source of the sound. Vinyl was laying on the floor with a hand print on her cheek and a grin across her face muttering " good times...good times."

"That fluid they're injecting her with are call Fuel Cells. Apparently thanks to Spike and Fluttershy they were able to know that these were the new big things that Raven Blood is using. Once she's fully injected then she could slice through anything and VR training is pretty much the only way to test that theory. That blue spine that you saw come out of Xord is what Raven Blood has infused in all of his cyborgs and this is like blood to Rainbow Dash now. She runs out of Fuel Cells than she can slice open and remove those cells and use them as their own." Twilight explained.

" Oh, so now Rainbow Dash has Blue Blood? Who came up with this idea?"

" Spike. By the way, he also had enhancements ready for you if your willing to agree. But I recommend since you and Rainbow Dash will be working together on a mission."

" That would depend on the enhancement." Vinyl replied.

" He didn't give me details except you get animal instincts."

" And I need this why?" Vinyl began to lose interest.

" It gives you back your horn and gives you bigger boobs." Twilight lied about the last part, but knowing Vinyl, of course she'll agree.

" COUNT ME IN!" She yelled in excitement which drew attention to nearby scientist.

One week later

Rainbow Dash's Fuel Cell infusion was a success, but her reaction of the position she was in comprehended perfectly to Twilight. VR training tested on the new ability for the cyborg Pegasus and as in theory Rainbow Dash could easily refill the new Fuel Cell over her old ones. Apparently though one thing crossed Rainbow's mind when she actually gave the Cells some thought. If she was able to absorb Fuel Cells that the soldiers now, what happened if Raven Blood suddenly decided to shift Fuel Cells of a different type? Thankfully there was only one type so far and even if there was they would of informed her and did the new enhancements right then. As for Vinyl her enhancements came as promised ( except for bigger chest size) and now is even more aware of her surroundings and very agile then before. She even got her cutie mark painted on her chest which was satisfying enough. Also she has the same Fuel Cell injection. Technology was becoming built for weapons every day and eventually Equestria was able to gain their own MGs, but of different designs. Twilight, Spike, Applejack, and surprisingly Rarity. Each one had their own types of skills and not to mention ups and downs. Twilight's MG was balanced, but it had low ammunition on her three gun equipment which was repaid by a plasma sword on her machine's wrist, Spike's MG was smaller yet very maneuverable along with high ammunition by two machine guns and a shoulder rocket launcher, Applejack was the largest and most powerful consisting of pressurized High Frequency bullets that were unfortunately very low, but she had the biggest guns with the biggest ammunition amount, Rarity apparently was meant for only range and had to avoid close up fighting with the help of her machine's speed. They were rarely used and mostly tested since Rainbow Dash was more than capable to destroy an MG herself. However since her and Vinyl may be leaving around the world for new landmarks of Raven Blood or his best cyborgs could be found, they needed secondary weapons and these were perfect depending on occasions.

Everything was in place for the two cyborgs as Lightning Dust refuses to fight anymore due to her now being scared of what she can be dealing with now. Rainbow Dash and Vinyl were scheduled a plane ride ( Rainbow Dash tried to tell them that she could just fly herself and Vinyl to where they needed to be, but Vinyl didn't trust her) to everywhere they needed to go and their first landmark was strangely Saddle Arabia which was only hours away. Without question, they were sent off leaving them on their plane. It was quiet, oddly quiet since Rainbow Dash thought Vinyl would be mouthing off stuff she wouldn't want to hear. When she looked beside her to see Vinyl in a seat across from her, she was sound asleep and Rainbow Dash could see that she had sharpened incisors. Rainbow Dash stared at her hands seeing that they were like animal claws along with her feet.

"We are only an hour away till we reach out destination. Prepare yourself girls." The pilot announced. Vinyl opened her eyes from this and let out a loud yawn.

" Good to see your awake now. I was really wanting someone to talk to since I was forced on this stupid flight!" Rainbow Dash growled. Vinyl tilted her head in confusion.

" You actually wanted to talk to me?" Vinyl asked. " If you want since we're alone you could of asked to go to the bathroom together. I was getting bored." Rainbow Dash groaned and threw her head back against the wall with a blush on her face.

" We're synthetic Vinyl. Even if I was interested how exactly do you expect us to do that?" She asked.

" You do know we have perverted scientists right?" Vinyl giggled. Rainbow Dash was now not interested, Vinyl never spoke like this to her ever, until the enhancements. She could be right, they do have a perverted scientist somewhere who placed a love potion in Vinyl's system.

BOOM

The entire airplane shook on the impact that it stumbled on. Rainbow Dash and Vinyl were thrown out of their seats and on top of each other due to the sudden hit. At that moment cyborgs began to burst through the doors while being strapped to something keeping them from being pulled by the suction air. The cyan Pegasus and blue haired unicorn were feeling it taking effect on them, but as they stood up the claws on their feet kept them in place. Rainbow Dash released herself and shot off towards one of the cyborgs and slammed it's head against the wall next to the door then pushed him out of the door along with cutting the strings that held him with her claws making him fall to his death. Vinyl shot towards the other and impaled the enemy cyborg's head, but she didn't get enough time to recover and place her feet back on the ground,making her get thrown out the door along with the cyborg.

" Uh, oh." Rainbow Dash released her hold on the ground and flew off out of the airplane herself and had her visors covering her eyes to help her spot where Vinyl was. Predictably she was falling down, but not by a fast speed if the Pegasus said so herself. She dove down as she instantly began to catch up to the falling unicorn, but when she began to notice a giant shadow forming over her she looked behind her and gasped when she saw that there was a giant star shaped MG hovering over their destination. " Where does he get this stuff?" Rainbow Dash continued to go after Vinyl and eventually caught her by the hand. Before the DJ could thank her though she noticed the hovering machine above them.

" Girls! I'm getting readings that this thing is a hovering base full of supplies and is heavily fortified! You have to take it out quickly! Your plane barely survived that first hit!" Spike shouted through their headsets.

" I'm guessing that thing is what's about to blow up our ticket out of here?"

" Not if were quick and somehow bring this thing down quickly." Rainbow Dash replied.

" And we're doing that how?" Rainbow Dash began to examined the machine with her visors for a moment until she noticed the perfect entrance for them to take it down.

A few moments later-Soundtrack-Rain

A few explosions erupted through the MG's entrance catching soldier's attention and made them gasp. The alarm instantly went off and the soldiers got their equipment for defense including turrets. They were expecting for Rainbow Dash to burst through the black smoke and attack on the spot for the turrets to kill her. Instead they spotted Vinyl who kicked herself off of the wall and towards a soldier and sliced through him making blood to splatter from his corpse. From this she couldn't be hit by the turret due to it only being operated of facing one direction. Soldiers all around her tried to run away instead of fighting, but this was short lived when the DJ tossed a grenade at the bunch of retreating soldiers. From the detonation blood splattered on the walls of the small hallway she was in.

" Where are you at Rainbow Dash?" Vinyl asked through her headset.

" Oh nowhere in particular. I think the scientists went to far on the enhancements though since this whole lab I'm in is covered in blood." The Pegasus answered. " Now to find where this thing ticks." Vinyl noticed more enemies coming her way and this time it seemed they were cyborgs which made her bring up a toothy grin. She ran through the hallway and jumped onto one of the cyborgs now ending up in what appeared to be a core room ( since the entrance they took was near the center it wasn't a surprise). Suddenly, Vinyl noticed that her vision on her visors began to fade which made her gasp. Not only that, but she got static from her headsets which made her assume that Rainbow Dash was trying to speak.

" Looks like I'm doing this myself while the little Pegasus takes care of the toys."

" TARGET LOCATED!!!" An Equestrian soldier yelled out.

" Like I was saying." Vinyl thought as her visors revealed her red eyes. She rushed towards the soldiers and stuck her claws in his head then threw his body against the wall. Without no time to waste she rushed down the rather long stairwell, but the further down she went the more of her synthetic ability was dissipating. Vinyl realized this when she heard static from her headsets which was Rainbow Dash speaking, along with that her claws haven't emitted red sparks in a while so she could slice through bodies easily even if she absorbed a Fuel Cell. Then it came to her realization when the term of this accessory around her came in her head. " Damn...EMP." She growled out. More static came from her headsets again, but this time she was able to make out some of Rainbow Dash's words.

" Vin...Aeri...MGs...comi....you-," That was all she heard, but she assumed it was bad news. Three more armed soldiers headed her way to her annoyance. For now she only went for thrusts since those were now her quick death moves. As she rushed at the enemy she suddenly noticed one of them pulling out a grenade which gave Vinyl another idea when words from a scientist played in her head.

"A savvy warrior must always use all of their tools"

The grenade was thrown towards Vinyl which made her make a grab for it.

" Even if it belongs to an enemy."

She grabbed hold of the grenade and instantly threw it towards the group of soldiers and it instantly exploded on impact. She heard their screams and all that was left was blood splattered on the floor. Before she knew it though, there was loud crashes all around the base along with screams coming from Rainbow Dash.

" Let's wrap this up quick!" Vinyl thought as she kept running to the core.

Rainbow Dash: Outside the Base

Rainbow Dash was hovering outside the base with her visors still covering her eyes and was examining a large MG that had literally kicked her out of the base along with making a few Equestrian shaped holes along the way. This MG she was facing looked bipedal and deathly armed, she was seeing an automatic assault rifle in one hand along with spotting a plasma sword in it's wrist which looked it could be manually triggered, the last thing that she saw was it's shoulder missile barrage and shocking enough, it was operated to follow the target it's locked on.

" Well this'll be a pain in the ass." The Pegasus cyborg thought. When she first spotted this thing, it was labeled to be called Faia-10 and it came in three kinds, she just hopes Vinyl can take care of the others. She pulled her sword from her back and held it at the ready. Faia dashed towards her first and began firing bullets from it's assault, but what the Pegasus wasn't able to calculate was the fact of what type of bullets it was firing towards her. She held her blade in a blocking stance and began to 'attempt' to deflect the bullets. Once the first bullet made contact with her blade, she staggered back losing her guard. Another came speeding towards her organic wing due to her sudden movement, but she was able to quickly recover with her blade surrounded by blue electricity and sliced the bullet in half. She held her sword with both hands and concentrated on the remaining 6 bullets that came towards her nearly as fast as her, but it wasn't enough. With a swift swing of her sword electricity that was built from it was let out instantly slicing all the bullets from a distance. Along with that, Faia was sent back as well, but went towards her again with it's plasma blade ready again. Rainbow Dash instantly flew over it as it made it's horizontal slash, at the same time the cyan cyborg landed on top of it's head with her sword up. She began to repeatedly implant her blade through the metal creating multiple holes around it's shoulders then ended it with a downward thrust in it's head. She jumped off of it as was about to try and make a counterattack, but as it did that the result was it's arm wielding the assault rifle to get severed.

" Well that makes my job somewhat easier." Rainbow Dash thought. Suddenly she took notice of the rockets being aimed towards her which made her gasp in shock. She had absolutely no time to react due to how fast the rockets fired and how close she. The first rocket exploded on contact to her abdomen sending her flying like a ragdoll with countless rockets chasing her. " Like I was saying." Rainbow Dash thought as she regained her control in the air. One of the rockets made it's way to a designated point of her body, but at the last second the cyan Pegasus jumped on top of it and jumped off towards the others at uncomprehending speed that now normal machine could keep up with. Due to this maneuver the rockets lost it's target and exploded in midair allowing Rainbow Dash to freely slice open Faia nearly into sprinkles. She heard multiple explosions behind her from the floating base which gave her the feeling that Vinyl succeeded, but is now in trouble. Without question she flew off back towards the base.

Vinyl 'Pon3' Scratch

Vinyl sighed in relief that the core wasn't that hard to destroy, not to mention didn't involve Fuel Cells that were now jammed due to the EMP still in slight effect. However that didn't eliminate the problem of cyborgs and panicking soldiers trying to take her along with the falling base. Her body was stained in enough blood already to the soldiers she had to kill just to get to the core. Her headset was also still in a static state which annoyed her to the point she turned it off finally, but she never knew that Rainbow Dash was trying to speak to her. During her little run along with destroying cyborgs along the way she suddenly noticed that her Fuel Cells were finally active from the past minutes.

" Alright, the last thing I may need right now is a MG being operated in he-" Vinyl didn't complete her sentence when she nearly evaded a sword surrounded by a purple aura, not only that but even without her visors she took notice that there was a hand wrapped around the sword which made her take a guess on what this technology was. " Whoever that was...that's the Magnetic Limb type of technology I was forced to test." She thought. She rubbed her forehead and sighed in dismay. " Why aren't I surprised that this won't be easy and I won't get the that time with Rainbow Dash right now." The sword came back towards her again, but this time it was deflected with her claws and was forced back to it's owner which seemed to be at a long distance. Strangely there was no more sudden attacks which made the white unicorn drop her guard. There was silence for a moment until a red dot formed on Vinyl's chest, head, and arms. Missiles were fired and automatic instinct made Vinyl evade the four that were meant to rip her apart. Rapid heavy stomps were heard as if the machine was running towards her.

The MG she saw wasn't like any typical kind she's fought before, she's never seen one so well equipped and looked so close to a an actual bipedal being.

" Okay, this is bad." Vinyl gulped.
