Redemption of an AIby ToscoFarraxChaptersChapter 1: ConfrontationChapter 2: ConfusionChapter 3: The Show offThe Show off part 2Chapter 4: ExplanationsI'm aliveChapter 1: ConfrontationPresent Day Ponyville - Equestria It was a normal day on Equestria, especially ponyville. The wind moved the leaves, the ponies were in the street chatting, some of them even moving little carts filled with vegetables and other kind of things. But inside a particular tree a particular lavender mare was jumping up and down in extreme joy. “Twilight!” Said the baby dragon “Can you calm down please?!” Since Twilight read a letter that Celestia, her mentor, sent, she wouldn’t stop jumping up and down and shouting “YES! YES!” “Im sorry spike!” Said Twilight “But this is simply PERFECT!” Spike just groaned at her response, she wouldn’t even drop the note so he could read what all the commotion was about. “Well, you are going to make the neighbors think that you are making a book fortress” Said the baby dragon with a little bit of annoyance “Again…” Twilight just stopped in mid air and then she fell to the ground with a blush on her face. “Im sorry spike, but this is just incredible! Princess Celestia is inviting me to Sarabia’s ruins!” Exclaimed Twilight Silence took over the library a few seconds and then spike finally spoke “So what?” He asked tilting his head “SO WHAT?!” She Shouted a little bit angry “Spike the Sarabia Ruins are so old, that they were made even before the princesses parents were born!,” Informed Twilight “And they are thought that they were made even before their Grandfathers!” “Still, they are a bunch of rock and sand” Spike said “ nothing awesome or out of this world” “Spike! The thing that matters is the knowledge of an ancient civilization, we don’t know what they could teach us…” Twiligh said with her eyes shining looking at specifically nowhere. “But this is the important part Spike” Twilight said turning her gaze “Im going to be absent around here for days, maybe a couple of weeks, so you are the one in charge of the library while Im gone” she said with a dead serious tone “Can I trust in you Spike?” She asked Spike was astonished, he couldn’t believe what Twilight was saying. Not the fact that she would leave him alone for weeks. But that the fact that he would have those weeks for himself! “YOOHOOO!” He exclaimed jumping in the air with his arms extended Then he looked at Twilight with a confused expression and suddenly corrected himself “I mean Yes! You can count on me to look over the library!” he said Twilight had the same deadpan face that she had a while ago “Ah, common Twilight, don’t you belive in me?”He asked as he got in his knees “Plus, Im going to be with Rarity and the girls most of the time!” “About that Spike” Twilight commented looking a little bit concerned of spike’s reaction “The girls are coming with me too...” “WHAT?!” Shouted spike A couple of weeks without Twilight was okay, But weeks without Rarity?! “Common Twi!” Spike said trying to appeal to her compressive side “Im sorry spike, But Celestia specifically said that she wants all of us with her” Twilight said putting a few books on her saddle bag “But if the girls are gone, how Im going to hang out with?!” Spike asked in desperation “Well, you can hang out with Applebloom, Scootalo, and Sweetiebelle” “Really?! They are going to include me in one of their crazy adventures to get their cutiemarks!” Spike said “Well then, you can always stay at the library and read” Twilight said “However,” She said opening the door “I need to get the girls, the royal chariot is going to be here any moment now!” “B-But Twiligh!” “Good bye!” She said Spike just got up the floor and started murmuring something as he got upstairs. 100,000 years ago Ecummene Council Unknown location 2 particular beings stood around a table. 1 of them wore a full body armor, obviously being male. And the other was in normal clothes, and revealing that she was a female because of her face and body complexion “ Why did you summoned me and only me, Master Builder?” said The Female one “Librarian” The master builder said “I have unsettling news that could not be appropriate for your husband” He said “And what would those be?” Asked the Librarian “I assume that you remember Medicant Bias…” He said with a little bit of sadness “Yes, The AI with the responsibility of taking care of the flood under dire circumstances” She said Silence took over the room and then The Librarian spoke “What about it Faber?” She asked in concern “Well…” he said moving his arm to a panel “It would be better if you saw on your own” Then a hologram of a big barrier, surrounded by forerunner ships appeared, and in front of the barrier there was a massive fleet of ships, over 4 million to be exact. “The Maginot Sphere” Said the Master Builder and the Librarian at unison And then a familiar male voice that was recorded by a ship that managed to escape “What has taken you millennia to create, I erase in seconds." Said the voice Then the massive fleet started to shoot at the Maginot Sphere, obliterating the defensive ships, and the barrier at the same time “Medicant Bias has gone rampant” The Master builder said Suddenly all the crowd on the Council Chambers started to shout “And what is the cause of this disgrace?” The Librarian said turning to Faber “Our creations, especially the Artificial Intelligences are made to be functioning for milenias, In this case it was Corrupted” “And how did this happen, If may I ask?” asked the Librarian The Master Builder just moved his gaze to the hologram, and then back to the Librarian “I sent Medicant Bias to Interrogate The Captive, without the Ecumene Council approval” “The Captive?, As in the last precursor in this galaxy? “Yes, for I was curious about what he was doing helping the humans” “But now, the problem that we are facing is a greater enemy than the flood,” he said turning to the librarian “And there is only one way to stop this” The crowd started to murmur, many of them knowing what would this solution lead to. “The Halo arrays” whispered The Librarian “Yes, But with Medicant Bias in the flood’s power we cannot do much…” “I will think of a way to Create an offensive AI to hold medicant Bias off” Said the Librarian addressing to Faber “And you must accelerate the Halo arrays completion” Said Faber “What about all living beings in the galaxy? The Humans? The San ‘Shyuum? “My life workers and I will search for a way to catalogize all living things on the galaxy, and then they may reborn from the ashes and ruins of our species” The Master Builder suddenly remembered the absent member of the council “What about your husband,” he Said looking at the empty pedestal “Will he support our actions?” He asked, knowing that the Didact wouldn’t accept what the council has come to The Librarian just sighed, knowing that all of his husband crimes against the living things of the galaxy had to be stopped “I will take care of that, for now we have bigger issues to worry about she said turning to the holographic panel. Present Day Sarabia's Desert air territory “Im so excited!” Twilight was so excited, she and her friends were in a chariot on the way to Srabia to investigate ancient ruins, possibly full of wisdom. “Grah, Twilight, why did you have to bring us with you?, you know that im not in that egghead stuff” Dash groaned and complained “Now Dash, I reckon that this isn’t the most excitin’ trip, but you dont to be so rude” Said Applejack “Im sorry Rainbow Dash, but princess Celestia said that she wants all of us to be there” Explained Twilight “Aww, Come on Dashy! It going to be fun! We even may find pony mummies!” Exclaimed Pinkie pie imitating the walking of a mummy making,wich made Fluttershy shiver like a little twig being moved by a storm “M-mu-mm-mummies?” She stuttered, while hiding behind her mane. “Oh, Don’t worry darling,” Said Rarity while peting her head “Im not as smart as Twilight, but I can assure you that there are no such things as mummies” She said, in an effort to cheer Fluttershy up “By the way Rarity,” Said Twilight while looking at her clothes “Why are you not using the archaeologist outfit that the guards gave us?” She questioned Rarity seemed somewhat insulted at Twilight's statment “What?!, You expect me to use that?!” She shouted insulted, pointing at Twilight’s outfit “Geez, its not like you are going to die from it” Rainbow Dash complained rolling her eyes “Oh why you little…!” While the Applejack and Twilight were trying to calm down Rarity and Rainbow Dash, no one but Fluttershy noticed that the chariot just landed “um- Twilight- um girls- we are here, we should stop fighting and get out if you don’t mind” Fluttershy tried to say Unfortunately for her and her quite voice, no one seemed to notice until Twilight catched a glance of sand and a archeologist camp out of the window “Oh girls” Twilight said opening the door “We are here!” While all of the rest of the mane six started the get out of the chariot, just Fluttershy stayed behind, with a look in her face of wanting to cry her eyes out “Uh?” Twilight said looking behind to see Fluttershy with watery eyes “Fluttershy are you okay?” Twilight asked concerned to her friend “Im okay, its just a little bit of sand that got in my eyes” Fluttershy lied “Well, then come on, there is a lot of interesting stuff around here” Twilight said to Fluttershy, helping her to get out of the chariot The camp by itself was amazing for any kind of pony that loved knowledge, there was from strange glyphs to ancient tools, and sometimes the ponies would see a camel, obviously being the traslators And there was a particular tent that highlighted between all of the conventional tents, it was atleas 10 feet tall, with with and yellow colors, with 2 guards on the entrance, obviously it belonged to Princess Celestia Once that the mane six approached to the tent, one of the guard noded to the other one, and then the same guard entered the tent, only to come back seconds later “The princess has been waiting for your arrival, please enter” the guar said as he opened the entrance from one side so they could get in “What a gentle colt” murmured rarity, making the guard to blush slightly, not enough to bee seen, but it was there When they entered everypony on the room got impressed. From outside the tent seemed to be some 5 foot of height But from the inside it was as big as the trone room, it was filled with all sort of cushions, paintings, pastries and other kind of things Twilight was not impressed by the size of the tent, it was obviously a spell to make a confined space bigger, but what impressed her, it was the massive line of books that were in there Many of them were in Gryponian and Zebrican, but she did not care, many of them were ancient books, containing old and power full spells and other kinds of knowledge And at the very center of the room Celestia was sitting on a blue and yellow cushion “Princess Celestia!” All of the mane six said, as they bowed to her “Please rise my little ponies, this is no time for formalities” Celestia said, hinting worry in her voice “What’s wrong Princess?” Asked Twilight Celestia just looked at her side to see a crystal box with a very strange glyph, and then she returned her gaze to Twilight “Twilight, you know, that sometimes when ruins are explored, there might be very strange things awaiting to be discovered” She said “Well, yeah” Twilight answered Celestia sighed “Well, what we found was-” Celestia was cut off by Pinkie appearing out of nowhere “MUMMIES!” She shouted “EEP!” The now scared Fluttershy hid behind her mane shaking violently “Pinkie!” everyone on the room but Celestia and Flutteshy shouted “What?” Pinkie said “ I couldn’t resist it” Twilight just facehoofed at her friend’s logic “What where you saying Princess?” she asked putting herself together Celestia just chuckled at this and then she spoke “What I was saying is that after a while of excavating inside a pyramid, we started to find new and strange symbols” She said looking over the box again “Well, possibly they were Camel glyphs no?” Rarity said Celestia returned her gaze to the Mane Six “The thing is, that nopony could decipher them, not even our experts on the ancient Sarabian glyphs” She said, but this time she lifted the box and the she placed it in front of them, so they could see what it was Once she opened the box she levitated it in the air, revealing a piece of rock containg a very strange symbol It was a cyrcle, with some kind of sickle turned upwards, with 4 sticks coming out of its side and some kind of magnifying glass “What in tarnation is that?” Applejack asked pointing at the glyph “We don’t know but what we know, it is not from the ancient sarabia or any other civilization we know about” Celestia said as she started to turn the object in a 360 degree “Oh, Oh, Oh!” Pinkie Pie raised her hoof and she waved it around the air “What is it Pinkie?” Celestia asked, wanting to know what Pinkie Pie needed to say “What if that thing is ALIEN!” She said pointing at the glyph The mane six (except for Fluttershy and Twilight) just groaned in annoyance “Pinkie,” Rainbow Dash said “Why on Equestria do you think of that thing be something alien?” “Actually, Rainbow Dash” Twilight said while approaching the glyph, “this may be of alien origin” “What?!” Rainbow Dash said “Pleas Twilight, don’t tell me that you belive in aliens” “This is the only logical answer that can be think of Rainbow Dash, plus”, She said, still looking at the object “I don’t think that we are the only things that exist, actually I don’t think that our planet and the sun are the only ones” Just as Celestia was going to support Twilight with her point of view, a pony came running in the tent, only to be tackled by a guard “Princess!” shouted the pony “The Archeologist, they found something outside the camp!” “Guard Realese him!” Celestia commanded The guard stood up, and the pony aswell, getting the dust off him “And What is it my little pony?” asked the concerned Princess “No body knows my princess,” He said, and then he pointed at the glyph “But it is exactly the same symbol as that one” Celestia just stood silent and then she levitated a box, a box wich contained the most powerful artifacts that Equestria had “Girls, take the elements and follow me” Celestia said, levitating the elements of harmony in front of the respective mare. Just as they finished putting on their elements, Celestia turned to the same pony that informed her of the new discovery. “Please, my little pony, would you lead us to the place you said the glyph was found?” Celestia asked with a motherly tone “Y-Yes, this way please” The pony said as he exited the room, being followed by the princess of the sun and the element of harmony “Why would the princess have the elements here?” Whispered Rainbow Dash to Twilight “Maybe she was expecting trouble with something unknown, or maybe just because we were going to be here” Twilight whispered back After some good 7 minutes of walking, Rarity finally started to complain, something that she didn’t do since they arrived “*whimper* the sun is too hot, and the san is ruining my hoofcure, not to be impatient, but are we there yet?” Rarity asked to the pony that was leading them “Actually , we are almost-” The pony was interrupted by an annoyed Rainbow Dash “Can’t you just endure some 5 minutes of walking?” She said, while still walking “Well, aside from you” Said Rarity adjusting her sun glasses “ I have an appearance to look over, not like you” “What is that supposed to mean?!” Asked the now angry Rainbow Dash turning her head to Rarity “Well what that is supposed to mean is-” Suddenly the innocent question from Rarity transformed into an argument Nopony but Celestia, the guide pony and Fluttershy noticed that they arrived to the temporal archeologist camp “Um Girls, we already- uh the princess and the pony are waiting and oh-” Said Fluttershy, when Celestia just coughed and then the argumentation finished, all of the mares looking at Celestia “If you girls are done arguing with each other” She said moving aside, revealing the camp full of archeologist moving around “we arrived” Then, Celestia and all of the ponies but Fluttershy started to walk towards the camp, murmuring things between them Fluttershy just whimpered like a puppy and soon she followed her friend and the Princess looking at the sandy ground “There it is” the pony said pointing at the center of the camp, revealing a much larger version of the glyph that they saw with Celestia, but this one was written on a strange metal Celestia looked at the pony and soon asked “Would you tell us what is that material the symbol is written in?” “About that Princess,” Said the pony “Nopony knows, and when we tried to collect a sample of the material, nothing can affect it not even magic” “Haven’t you tried with tools?” Asked Twilight “Yes we tried, but each time we tried to do it, soon or later the tool would break, including the diamond ones” Said the pony a little bit ashamed that he and his team couldn’t get a sample of the new material “So are you trying to say, is that this thing” Twilight said as she approached the glyph, or more specifically the metal it was drawn in “Is physically stronger than magic, and the strongest mineral ponykind knows of?” “Yes, but for some reason, it reacts to magic” Said the pony “Define react please” Said the Princess “We don’t know what it does, but each time a unicorn tries to use magic near it, it starts to glow blue, and it doesn’t go off until the unicorn either gets away enough, or it stops to use magic” “Mmmm interesting” Twilight hummed “I wonder if I…” Twilight said to herself while laying a hoof on the glyph Then, the glyph started to glow an intense light blue, after 3 seconds the light went off, and all of the rocks around the camp started to levitate “Whats happening?!” Fluttershy said, obviously scared “Is someone using magic on those rocks?” “No, there isn’t any magical aura around them!” Twilight answered, a little bit confused, since this rocks were floating on their own “Well, what is-” Applejack tried to say before all the rocks fell on the ground A few seconds later, the ground started to shake violently, catching all the ponies off guard, making most of them fell to the ground, and a massive hole formed up a few feet away the camp “WHATS HAPPENING!” Fluttershy screamed, at the edge of crying “I DON’T KNOW!” Twilight answered, not that most of her friend could hear her because of the commotion After a couple of seconds the ground stopped to shake violently, but it was still shaking. And a massive curtain of sand started to rose up the ground, it kept on raising, until all the camp and more area was under its shadow, out of the sand, two objects with the look of wings started to get out of the falling sand, after another seconds all the sand was gone, revealing a gargantuan being that could even possibly match a dragon and win. Its wings made him look even bigger, including the feather like objects that were somewhat always suspended at the same distance from the wings, and it had 2 slanted yellow glowing eyes And when everypony thought that they saw all of that thing, many small creatures with a glowing eye and 3 like appendages started to fly around the creature You didn’t needed to be a genius to know that this being was not from this world Before anyone could say something the creature sent a magnetic pulse, pushing everything around it , and making many tents fly away “P-Princess W-What is that thing?” The astonished Twilight tried to ask Before the speechless princess could say ‘I don’t know’ a guard commanded “Attack that thing, don’t let it harm the Princess o the elements!” Suddenly all the guards on the area started to shoot either crossbows or magic bolts at the gargantuan creature, only to be either absorbed or deflected by some kind of invisible shield “Princess, you have to get out of here or that-” The guard got interrupted as a rookie shouted “I hit one of the little things!” He screamed in joy, as a charge magic bolt hit a sentinel, it wasn’t enough to destroy it but enough to reveal its inner system Suddenly all of the sentinels stopped and turned to see the pony that shot their fellow Artificial Intelligence, one of the sentinels rushed over to repair the damage done, as the gargantuan beast lowered its head to see the responsible of shooting one of his friends Yep, you didn’t have to be a genius to know that this creature was pissed. Author's Note Welp, here i go, this is my first try to do a crossover, actually, this is my first story at the moment, hope that it is enough for most of you, and since Im new in this whole writting stuff, maybe someone of you would be willing to help me :) Chapter 2: Confusion5 years ago 262,144 light years from the galactic center Installation 00 Relief Something that Medicant Bias hadn't felt for milenias, since his voluntary rampancy and defeat to another AI. 100,000 years ago, he became rampant, he turned to his masters and allied with the flood, causing billions and billions of deaths of Forerunners. And those 100,000 years ago there wasn't a single thing to do, but think, think about his acts, and the consequences and damage he had done. Fortunatly, his masters came up with a plan to fight him with another AI, altough it lacked of his creativity and experience, this one significantly more lethal than him, because of his rampancy, he didnt thought of facing another AI during his new war. Finally, the Halo arrays were finished, and activated, purging all of the flood and all living things in the galaxy, with the exception of the catalogized species on the forerunner dreadnoughts of course. Offensive Bias broke his Compound Mind and scattered around them, only one piece of him made it to the ark, and other was lost on a forerunner key ship that was later lost, but then found by the Covenant. The Covenant was a collection of alien species, that looked upon the Forerunners as gods. This confused Madicant Bias, even though he looked at them as masters, and they could exceed the milenias of age, he knew that they werent Transsentient beigns, unlike the Precursors. When the Covenant found him, they attached him to some kind of citdel, and they would keep on asking him about the Forerunners and their technology, or as they called it "Holy Relics". They had a wrong termination of the ascendecy, calling it Reclamation, but infact it was Reclaimer, for only one individual, could lead an entire race to The Mantle. In 2525, he was "consulted", or rather interrogated by two San 'Shyuum, about the number of "Holy Relics" that could be on harvest, a planet habitated by humans. He revealed that infact, the Relics, were the Humans, and that all of their faith was based on an old mistranslation, and all of this information could harm in a way all of wath the covenant belived in, and for some reason, they started to attack the humans. After some time, he informed the Covenant that he had intetions to bring the Reclaimers to the ark, he attempted to leave High Charity by launching the Forerunner ship, however, the launch was delayed as another construct, a human one to be precise, however he managed to launch the ship after the fight, leaving the covenant citael, wich left very damaged the same. But instead of reaching his true destiny, he was disconected by some Lekgolo, which made the ship crash on eart, wich made Mendicant Bias be carried through the Voi portal, to Installation 00, where the missing shard was finally reunited with the part that resided in the Ark's systems. Present Day 262,144 light years from the galactic center Heavily Damaged Installation 00 And now, he was alone. The Reclaimer managed to activate the Installation 00 and escape in time, but leaving the Installation heavily damaged. Being an Artificial Construct, he could translate himself on the Ark's system, but because of the current state on the installation, he couldn't do much, he needed a Forerunner sentinel or artifact, so he could translate himself physically and start the repairs. Fortunatly for him, there was an obsolete war sphenix near his current position, near enough for him to translate himself inside of it, Ignoring the fact that the suit itself was right beofre a Forerunner Portal Unfortunately for him, it was several feet buried on the sand for some reason. Before he risked himself, he tried to do a full scan of the combat suit, even though it was obsolete,and it was outdated by the Seekers, it was still a very powerful weapon, capable of sweeping continents and decimating entire cities. The scan showed that its main weaponry consisted of hard light blades, capability of fly, and a powerfull beam ,similar to an onyx sentile's, that could cut and/or desintegrate foes that could be bigger than the combat suit itself. But what he saw next, left him confused. Around the War Spehinx there were around 5 conventional Sentinels and 3 Constructors, but for some reason, between it's wings there was an Onyx Sentinel, wich caught him offguard, by the fact that the Onyx Sentinels were only found at the Onyx Shield world. After runing several scans on the suit's current status, he confirmed that he should be able to be transferred to the suit without any problem. Once that he was fully uploaded on the suits memory, just before he could start the combat suit, he started to read some kind of anomalies, right by the side of the War sphinix and the sentinels. After that, all that he saw was blinding brightness. Present Day Unknown location Forerunner Artificial Planet Now he was looking at some kind of equine. Some minutes ago, he was in Installation-00, but just after he uploaded himself on the Combat Suit memory, for some reason, he was on another Forerunner Planet. But this wasn't a conventional planet, it wasn't a shield world, maybe it was terraformed, and everything else is artificial. And after he just came out of the depths of the sand, for some reason they started attacking him, damaging one of his sentinels. Didn't this species know that attacking a Forerunner or his Artifacts were a grave offense?. Of course they don't, after the Halo arrays were activated, everything alive in the galaxy was annihilated and then repopulated. But still, even if he had the same ideals that his long gone masters had, they had to be taught to not mess with the Forerunners. He proceeded to grab the guard that attacked his sentinel with somekind of telekinetic beam, bringing him to what was supposed his eye level. He thought that the energy that he was beign shot with was plasma, and if this race was advanced enough to manipulate plasma, even though the repopulation of the galaxy, they had to have some forerunner artifacts around, so they could advance to the technological level they have in this moment. After that he tried to communicate with the guard, trying to investigate why they were attacking him, suddenly a yellow bolt was shot at the head of the sphinix, and then some kind of energy tried to pull the guard out of his grasp, it wasnt strong enough to do so, but he decied to give up on the guard, and let the mysterious force drag him to the sand. And before he could even introduce himself (or even ask why they were being so hostile), so he could inform them of the damage that they had done, he was abruptly interrupted, again, by a tall equine with wings and some kind of horn in its head that shouted something in perfect Jagon "Girls, get the elements!" It shouted, somewhat female by its tone Six of the equines ran into some kind of formation, and before he could ask what they were doing, the artifacts they were weraing started to bright, issuing a very familiar energy. After that, he ordered all of his sentinels to move out of the way, for he couldn't know what would happen, and if someday he may need repairs. The 6 equines shooted some kind of bright light, hitting him in the sphinix's chest. After a couple of seconds of absorbing what he thought was a "plasma beam", the dust that had been raised by the plasma energy dissipated quiclky, he saw the withe equine's smile of confidence dissapear on one of confusion and fear. Behind of those mineral conglomerations that the 6 equines had been using, Bias identified Forerunner artifacts, powerfull ones, almost powerfull enough to get his shields down, ALMOST. He speaked, this time without interruptions "My name is 05-032 Mendicant Bias, I am an artificial construct created by the Forerunners He said in a deep and a little bit distorted voice After that there was only silence, the only sound that could be heared was the wind and the sand being blown by it. After a few minutes of entire silence the forerunner ancilla was getting a little bit annoyed. He had patience but still, he needed answers and he needed them now. After that he figured that he needed to motivate them to interact with him. And to achive that he needed either contact their leader... or try a more, harsh approach. After a few seconds the tall and white equine took a step forward, and yet again, said something in perfect Jagon. "Who are you?" She said Medicant Bias was not amused, he already introduced himself, giving them his name, and function. "As I already said my name is 05-032 Mendicant Bias, and Im a forer- " Medicant Bias said before being interrupted. "No, I mean WHAT are you?" The equine said taking another step forward. "You look like a dragon, but at the same time you dont, and Im sure that I've never seen your species before..." She said. After a quick scan on the white equine and the others behind it, it seemed that these being was genetically more advanced than the other ones (With exception of the purple one). "What is your name?" Said Medicant Bias turning his head towards Celestia "You seem to be Biologically more advanced than the rest of these equines, with exception of the purple one" Celestia just smiled at this and proceeded to introduce herself. "Well I'm-..." Celestia was cut off as Rainbow Dash flew infront of Medicant Bias "Who in Tartarus do you think you are?!" She said while hoovering in front of his face "She is Celestia, the ruler of equestria, so you better start showing some respect" Rainbow said with a face of annoyance "Rainbow!" Shouted Twilight trying to make her friend understand that it wasn't wise to annoy whatever this creature was. Medicant Bias turned his head once again towards Celestia. "So you are the ruler of this world?" He asked "Well, not from this world, but my sister, Twilight and I rule this nation" Celestia said If she wasn't the ruler of the whole world, then that would possibly mean that there are more sentient species besides these equines, species that have their own rulers, this could be possibly a problem for him to get off this planet, since this meant that most of the species haven't resolved their differences, and could possibly mean that some of them were in search of a source of power to impose their empire or kingdom to others, and they may even see him as that source of power. Once again he turned to the forerunner glyph on the ground. "The Base glyph, have you found something else like that?" He asked, his voice echoing on the desert. "Actually he haven't-..." Celestia was cut off by Twilight "So you know what that thing is?" She asked, her hoofs clanking against the cold metal the glyph was written in "What does it mean?, Who did it?, Why does it glow when-..." Twilight's questions were cut off by Celestia "Twilight!" Celestia shouted "You know what said about bombarding strange ponies with questions" Twilight blushed with a small smile at this "I'm sorry" "No harm done, your curiosity is understandable, like yours Celestia." He said turning his massive head towards Celestia "Wait, how did you-" Celestia asked in confusion "Since the plasma beam that the six equines shot at me, and you saw how I was unfazed by it your heartbeat accelerated and you have been thinking if I may be a threat, since Im talking with you right now" He said "H-How did you knew that?" She asked "It was my job to think like my enemy" he said, taking his gaze to the sun on the sky, remembering the twist that his campaign against the flood suffered. Twilight, the mane six and even Celestia were confused, first this "thing" came out of the sand, the guards attacked him and then he casted some kind of magic on a guard, Twilight and the girls even used the elements of harmony, the artifacts that remorfed Nightmare Moon and turned Discord into stone, and this so called "Medicant Bias" didn't even flinched when the elements were used on him. Finally Celestia spoke. "Um, Medicant Bias?" She said, trying to get his attention "Yes?" he asked lowering his head towards Celestia "Well, it's almost night time, and it gets pretty cold on the outside, so..." She said taking a deep breath, and giving her idea a seconf thought. "*sigh* I was wondering if we could continue this conversation on my castle" As soon as Celestia finished her sentence, the whole camp was filled with gasps and murmurs. "WHAT?!" Rainbow asked in disbilief and anger "Princess, with all due respect, ARE YOU CRAZY?!" She said, not caring about what consequences that sentence could bring to her. Rarity gasped and fainted, Fluttershy hid behind her mane thinking that Rainbow Dash would be banished, Twilight and Apple Jack started shouted something about the possible consequences that this could bring to her and maybe them, and Pinkie Pie tried her best to not to laugh. "I mean I'm sorry but you can't be thinking about bringing that thing-" She said pointing at the war sphinx. "To Canterlot!, I mean..." "Rainbow Dash,-" Celestia cut her off "Don't you trust my decisions?" she asked "No I do but..." Rainbow triend to justify her sudden outburst but Apple Jack cut her off "Com'n sugar cube, just come back here before you do somethin' stupid... again" Apple Jack chuckled. "*Grr", Okay" Rainbow Dash groaned, as she gave Medicant Bias one last death glare. Once that she was back with the girls Pinkie giggled. "*snort* with all due respect" She whispered. "Agh, Shut up" She said lowering her head realising what she just said before. Celestia just stared at the girls with a small smile and then turned to Medicant Bias once again. "My apologizes for Rainbow's sudden, outburst..." She apologized with a small hint of embarrassment. "No harm done young one, her suspicion toward me is understandable to..." Medicant Bias said Suddenly the mantle of tension and/or fear that covered the camp, turned in laughter or giggles, because the creature just called Celestia young one. Pinkie was rolling on the floor laughing, Rarity for some reason fainted once again, Rainbow Dash was even more angry because of this creature's ignorance, Twilight was writing all the conversation between Medicant Bias and Celestia, and Celestia was blushing with a faint smile. Medicant Bias was confused, as soon as he finished his sentence, everyone started to laugh, probably at him. "Was it something I said?" He asked, trying to understand the sudden outburst of laughter in the camp. Rainbow Was even more angry and frustrated by this, and another out burst came out of her. "Because she is over 1000 years old you Dumb-Bell!" She declared "RAINBOW!" All of the mane six (but Fluttershy) shouted at her. "What?, its true." She said with a dead panned face. After a couple of seconds of silence with exception of the giggles and the murmurs Celestia finally spoke. "You are aware time right?" Celestia asked "Yes, second are conformed by milisenconds, minutes by seconds, hours by minutes, days by-" Celestia interjected. "Okay I get it, are you aware of your own age?" She asked "In a way, yes" Medicant Bias answered Celestia smiled as she took one step forward. "If it isn't rude to ask, would you mind if I ask you how old are you?" She asked with curiosity. Medicant Bias started to search in his archives, the thruth is that if it wasn't because every second of his life was being stored in his memory he wouldn't know his own age, for he had more important business to attend, like fighting the flood. "Well...?" Celestia asked, eager to know his answer "Ughh, my head, what happend girls?" Rarity asked as she regained her conscience. "If im correct I was created around 100,000 years old" Medicant Bias revealed Celstia was caught off ward because of this, her pupils shrank at this, whatever this creature was, it claimed to be older than her, and older than her parents maybe. Once again the whole camp's ambient changed, all the ponies gasped and started to murmur that either this so called Medicant Bias was either an ancestral creature or a liar. "Oh no you won't!"Twilight said just before Rarity could faint again and then she shot a spell to her body. Celestia was deep in her thoughts, she had a big problem in her hooves, this creature already showed that it was powerfull enough to endure the elements of harmony without flinching, that meant that if any of the other world leaders found out about him, they wouldn't think two times of making him their ally to secure a great power source that could maybe enslave the whole world. "Medicant Bias" Celestia talked to him. Once that he turned his attetion to her she continued. "I think that we should continue this conversation on a more private enviroment" She said. "Are you inquiring that we should continue our conversation at the so called pace "Canterlot"?" He asked? Celestia just smiled at this, this creature was very intelligent and assertive, something that would make this easier. "Yes, if there isn't any inconvenient with you ofcourse" She said, praying to her fathers that he would accept. "Lead the way then young one." Medicant Bias said, making Celestia have a sigh of relief. "Okay, I'll bring some chariots, bur for now i have to figure out how im going to transport you..." She said placing a hoof under her chin. Suddenly the ground started to shake once again, making some of the ponies run around in panic, some of them thinking that it was an earthquake, and others thinking the possibility of a second creature. Then Medicant Bias started to lift off the ground, revealing his tail, and two massive legs. After a couple of seconds the war sphinix was fully covering the sun, making a gargantuan shadow on what was left of the camp, and he was once again being surrounded by the smaller flying machines. "HE CAN FLY NOW?! GRAH, THIS IS COW-FILTH!" Rainbow swore "Rainbow! watch your lenguange!" AppleJack shouted. Celestia only sighed and she ordered a nearby pegasus guard to bring a couple of chariots with destination to Canterlot. 'At least this is more interesting than the night court' She thought. Author's Note Sorry if this isn't as exciting as the first, this usually happens to me in the second chapter of everything that I have written Jagon is the native lenguange of the forerunners :) in the part of "Well, not from this world, but my sister, Twilight and me rule this nation" i got confused :S If someone is willing to help me being a proof-reader or an editor, I would appreciate it... Chapter 3: The Show offPresent Day Sarabia desert Pony Calender July(?) 1687 'This is going to be a very long day' Celestia thought. First the so called Medicant Bias came out of the dephts of the sand, and threatened one of the guards that attacked one of his smaller friends, and now she invited THAT thing to not only her castle, but to a heavy populated city of Equestria, she was wondering if she did the correct decision. "Your highness," Said a guard as it bowed towards her "the chariots are in their way towards our position and will arrive shortly". "*Sigh* Thank you my little pony, you are dismissed" She said turning her head back towards the massive war machine. Since it fully came out of the ground, it revealed that it had not only a long tail, but it had two appendages, obviously being legs. And now it was just standing there in an odd crouching position and with its wings folded in his back. Many ponies searched various excuses to try get past the guards that were between Medicant Bias and them, saying that they forgot they tools back there, or some sort of family amulet was in the ground back there, the guards did not care if it was true or lies, but it seemed that the smaller creatures that came with Medicant Bias knew what pony was either saying the truth because of their body lenguage and the involuntary beta waves their brain were transmitting. "Please!, I dont care about that metal bird, the only thing I want is to search for my mother's necklace!" A light brown pony said to a guard, trying to convince him to let him search his lost amulet. The guard didn't even flinched at this, but a nearby sentinel heard this "Please, I beg of you is the only thing I have of her left, look you can even look for it for me, it is a necklace with a brown thread and it has a round amethyst" He tried a second time. "Im really sorry, but this area is off limits for civilians, it's for your own good" He stated, not even turning his head to watch the desperate equine. Now that the sentinel had a description of the object, it could look for it, it moved various tool boxes and scanned the sand with some kind of light blue flashlight. After a couple of minutes the light was finally reflected by some kind of material, once the sentinel grabed it with a green-yellow beam, making it levitate like if an unicorn was using magic on it. Just before the stallion give up as lost his now deceased mother's amulet, the merciful sentinel hoovered in front of him, placing the necklace between it's eye and the ponie's face. The nameless stallion was at the edge of crying, his pupils dilated as he saw the amulet that he almost gave up as lost, flash-backs of him as a colt and his mother came back to his memory as he slowly took the necklace in his shaking hoof. But it didn't took too much time until the guard next to the stallion noticed the blue light in his face and the reflection of a flying oval shaped machine in his watery eyes. The guard reacted to this immediatly and spun around, placing his spear infront of the sentiel. "Get back there!" Said the guard, trying to not bring back the memories of the gargantuan being levitating his fellow soldier "You nor your friends can't leave this area until the princess says otherwise!". 'Wait, he was helping me' Tried to say the stallion just to find that his voice was being blocked by a knot on his throat, caused most likely because of the adrenaline of seeing his lost amulet again. The sentinel just looked to the tip of the spear and back to the necklace's, owner emitting a low peep, trying to say to the pony 'You're welcome' "Well?, am I going to have to force you to go back there?" Threatened the guard. The sentinel just looked at the spear again, fully aware that such primitive weapon couldn't harm him, then it turned around, and floated back towards the war sphinx. "I don't trust these Celestiadamned things..." The guard muttered under its breath. The stallion just stood there, watching as the small, flying being hoovered towards it's friends, something deep down in his mind was telling him that these things were here to help. Celestia watched the whole thing, with peeled eyes and an agape mouth. One of the smaller beings just helped one of his subjects after hearing the desperation in his voice, and once in had enough information it started to search for it, and once it found it, it didn't keep it to make further studies or something like that, in the moment it found it, the small hoovering creature turned in the necklace to its owner, and even though it was threatened by one of the guard, it didnt reacted in a violent way for being treated like that after doing a good deed, it just turned around and returned back to its business. The more time she tried to learn more and find answers about Medicant Bias, even more questions popped out of nowhere. 'Your highness A guard's voice said, just to be drowned by Celestia's thoughts Was this creature really here to help?, to do good deed without waiting for something in return?. 'Your highness' The guard's voice was a little bit louder. Or was all of this just a facade?, could Medicant Bias be a spy or someone that wishes to bring harm to her kingdom and it's just playing along?, there was no way to be certain about this... "YOUR HIGHNESS!" Shouted the guard, this time snapping Celestia from her deep thoughts. Celestia turned her head around to see the guard with his face red with a hoof on his mouth realising what he had just done. "Yes guard?" She asked the guard, curious what news were with him. "Hmphmmm" He said oblivious by the fact that he still had the hoof covering his mouth. "What now?" She asked trying to understand what the guard was trying to say. The guard was going to repeat, but he suddenly realised that his hoof was covering his entire mouth, quickly getting it out of the way leaving a slight blush on his face. "Hehe, Im sorry your Highness, what I was trying to say is that the chariots have already arrived, and the Elements have already been escorted inside them." The guard informed. "Thank you very much my little pony, you are dismissed" Celestia dismissed the guard. Celestia sighed, now she needed to think of a way to transport the creature with her without causing havoc at the city. Celestia carefully walked towards the crouchind Medicant Bias, curious of what he was doing. Once that she got close enough, she tried to communicate with him, inform him that it was time to leave. "Uhmmm, excuse me?... Medicant Bias?" She said hoping to get his attention. The war sphinx got up from it's crouching stance, getting back up to his full height and looked towards Celestia. "Is it time for us to depart?" He asked, knowing the answer. "Yes, but something was troubling my mind" She said with a sigh. "May I ask why?" He asked curious about the thoughts that occupied the equine's mind. "Look, my subjects are a little bit, delicate...-" She said looking back at a crowd of ponies not very far away from here. "And you should know that we are going to head towards a very populated area." Medicant Bias was hearing and archivating every single word that came out of the equine's mouth. "What I am trying to say, is that they may, get scared to see a creature like you getting close to their home, so I was wondering... I was wondering if you had an idea to make you look less menacing or big" Celestia revealed her idea to him. Medicant Bias was confused, he was here to help, to try to show his masters that he has changed, why should these equines be scared of him if he had no intentions to harm them?, but then again there were several psychological factors that could influence in this, and many living beings could feel threatened or scared when a more powerfull or bigger being than them made a harsh approach towards them. But after all Celestia knew her species better than him so he decided to morph into a less threatening appearance. "I think that I may able to do something" Medicant Bias said as he commenced the morphing operation. Many of his parts started to bend and magnetize with others, filling the air with sounds of metal clanking, hardlight being hitten and electricity magnetizing parts with others. After a couple of seconds the gargantuan being dissapeared and was replaced with a smaller being in comparison, but still exceeding Celestia's height and horn by a couple Inches The creature was tall, but even though it was made of metal, it displayed muscles in all of the body, informing that the being was of male origin, it had four large appendages, two in its upper body both of them had one claw each with five digits, and the other two on his lower half, obviously being arms and legs, but the more interesting part was its face it had no face features, no eyes, no mouth, no nose, it didnt have anything, the only thing it had where the two weird looking antenna like objects at the sides of his head looking like some kind of ears, and six blue dots in his face, making him look like some kind of insect with more than two eyes. "Is this form better?" Medicant Bias said with a now different voice, it was lower and definitly more gentle, but it was still firm and deep enough to identify him as a male "H-How d-did you changed so..." Celestia tried to say. "How did I changed from my previous form to this one?" Medicant Bias guessed. "Yes, you were massive, and in a matter of seconds you shrinked and changed your size and form, what kind of magic does that?" Celestia said stupefied. Magic? Medicant Bias was confused, he hadn't heard of that word for milenias, magic was a thing that was told to the forerunner children that was something similar to the forerunner's ability, not the same but similar, that did not rely on technology but in miracles, it was all a fairy tale back then. "My abilities do not rely on magic Celestia, they are supported by only technology, actually Im technology myself" Medicant Bias tried to explain to the equine. "Technology?" Blurted Celestia in disbilief "how do you want me to belive that all of what you've done is technology?" "Everything is going to be explained Celestia, but for now I think that we have to leave" Said Medicant Bias. Celestia sighed and looked at the sky, he was right, they had to search a place more appropiate for this converstaion. "You are right, come on, our transport has arrived" Celestia guided Medicant Bias towards the chariots There were two colored chariots, both of them had a turquoise color with yellow and blue ribbons, and each one had two pegasus attached to them, wich was ironic from Medicant Bias' point of view, but still, he made no comments about that for it could've been offensive for them. "You are coming with me Bias, ours is the one at the front" Celestia said as she got up on the chariot. Medicant Bias was inspecting the curious vehicle, unsure if he should get on it or not. "Well? what are you waiting for?, get in" Celestia said with a smile in her face. "I don't have any intentions to insult your species ability to manufacture vehicles, but is it going to bear my weight?" Medicant Bias questioned. "Oh don't worry it has been reinforced with magic and other materials, it bears my weight after all" Celestia tried to joke to enlighten up the mood, not that Medicant Bias didn't have sense of humor, Forerunner AIs had sense of humor, when two or more AIs encountered they would exchange informations and rarely they would make a joke, mostly about the flood, and if it was rare to hear a joke coming from them it was even more rare to hear them laugh or giggle. Medicant Bias trusted on Celestia so he placed a foot on an iron step feeling how there was some kind of energy shield around the vehicle, after he got inside, he saw that even though there was an energy barrier on the vehicle, the iron steps bended because of his weight, Celestia noticing this. "Uh, that is interesting, you must wear a ton *giggle*" Celestia giggled. That was actually true even though he had shrinked his size he was still very heavy, 5.6 tons actually. "Well I think that we can leave now" Celestia said as she grabbed the door handle with her magic. "Wait! princess Celestia!" Shouted Twilight "*sigh* Twilight Luna and I already told you that there is no need to call us princesses anymore" Said Celestia in a calm voice. "Hehe, Im sorry" Twilight said with a small smile and blusing looking to the left corner of her eyes. "But prin- I mean Celestia, I went to look for the creature to tell it that we are going to leave, but I didn't found it, the little ones aren't there either" Twilight said oblivious of the fact that the sentinels were floating above the chariot and that Medicant Bias was inside the chariot too. Soon enough Twilight noticed the oddly shaped irion step of the chariot. "Uh? why is this bended this way, aren't they supposed to be like reinforced with magic?" Twilight questioned. "Ahem." Medicant Bias cleared his throat to get Twilight attention, wich worked. "What is that thing?!" Twilight asked in disbilief, was this another creature that came out of the sands too?. "Twilight that is Medicant Bias, the creature that we encountered a while ago..." Said Celestia. "No, really Celestia where is he?" Twilight said with an unamused look. "She already told you, I'm right here." Medicant Bias said with a more gentle and formal voice. "Wait-who-where?" Twilight tried to analyze what happend, the creature that came out of the ground was massive, and they were telling her that he transformed to this size?. "Just get in Twilight, we'll explain it to you in the way back to Canterlot" Celestia said, not wanting to waste more time in the desert, it wasn't healty for her delicate fur after all. As soon as Twilight got in, Celestia shuted the door, and gave two taps on the wall, informing the guards that it was time to depart, and a couple of seconds after that, the chariots started the flight back to Canterlot, with different types of sentinels following close, with active camouflage of course. Present Day Above an occupied Dragon's nest / Near Equestria borders. Pony Calender July(?) 1687 "So you can morph into anything you want?" Asked Twilight in dibilief "Not anything I want, but I can change my form from the war sphinx to this one" Said Medicant Bias. "War Spinx? is that the form in what we found you?" Asked Celestia curious about its name. "Actually I'm still in the war sphinx but I changed it's form to this one" Said Medicant Bias looking through the window. "What are those creatures?" Medicant Bias asked as he looked towards the dragons inside a pool of lava. Twilight and Celestia leaned towards the window, to see what creature he was talking about, to see the Dragons either sleeping or taking a bath of lava. "Those are dragons, they are reptilians that can breath fire and they are very powerfull and dangerous too" Said Celestia remembering her last experience with one of them. "Uh, that is interesting, and tell me, is this vehicle safe?" Asked Medicant Bias without taking his gaze off the window. "Why would you ask that?" Celestia asked. "Because we may be attacked by one of those beings, my readings say that the males have very large amounts of testosterone, wich may cause them to get territorial with their home." Medicant Bias pointed out. "You don't have to worry about anything, the dragons know better than messing with the princesses" Said Twilight placing a hoof on her chest. Suddenly the whole chariot shaked like if it was being hit by a big boulder, and the left corner of the chariot started to burn in flames. Celestia then talked through a hole on her side of the chariot to the pegasi that were flying. "What happend?!" She asked in concern and fear. "We were hit by a ball of fire your highness-" The guard was interrupted by another hit sound and a flush "the element's chariot was hit too!". "We need to land fast!" said the second guard. "Oh Celestia we are going to die!" Shouted Twilight. Medicant Bias was running several simulations and test, and by the results, if he didn't intervene, these ponies would have less than 46.82% chances to survive the crash, he commanded his sentinels to use their beams to ease the chariots' harsh land, while he positioned himself in a way he wouldn't squat by accident these ponies under his weight. "Get hold to something back there princesses, we are going to land!" Shouted a pegasus, without them knowing that the sentinels were trying to help to ease the landing. *THUD* The chariots landed. "U-uh?, we are not dead?" Asked Twilight as she let go of the pole she was embracing. "We need to get out of this vehicle " Medicant Bias said as he tried to open the door, but found that it was stuck. "Is it jammed?, we need to get out of here and help my friends!" Exclaimed Twilight After Medicant Bias found that it was useless to pull the door softly, he violently janked the door, separating it from the rest of the chariot. "Get your friends out of that vehicle, I will help the pilots" Medicant Bias said referring to the pegasi. Once that he got infront of the chariot, he found that one of the pegasi was unconscious, and the other had one of his wings bended in an odd way and with a long cut on his flank. He broke the restrains that pulled the chariot and he dragged them back on a spot without ashes. Then he heard how the princesses were stuggling to open the reinforced iron door of their friends, obviously being stuck. "Twilight please get us out of here!" Cried Fluttershy. "I'm trying! but It's stuck and I can't open it with magic without blasting it!" Twilight cried back. Medicant Bias walked towards the chariot full of ponies and got Twilight out of the way. "Please, clear the door so I can open it up" He warned. Then a blue translucent sword came out of his guantlet, heat and little blue particles coming out of it. "And who the hell are you- *EEP*!" Rainbow Dash responded, before a blue shiny sword cut through the iron sword like butter, making a vertical cut. After he got the hardlight sword out and he deactivated it he placed his hands in the cut, pulling both of the sides with tremendous strength making a hole, light filtered through it showing their savior. As the ponies got out one by one Medicant Bias pulled free the other two guards, both of them unconscious, and then dragged them near the other guards. He called a couple of his sentinels out of the camouflage to use their healing beams on the guards. "Who or what in tarnation is that?" Applejack asked as she dusted her hat "That is the creature that we found at the desert AppleJack, he is Medicant Bias..." Said Twilight. "WHAT?!" All of the girls shouted at unison. "But Twilight, that thing was giant! how in Tartarus did he changed his for to that?!" Rainbow Dash asked as she pointed to Medicant Bias that was crounching near a guard and two of the flying machines near him shooting some kind of green beam. "By the way what is he doin'?" Asked AppleJack. "I dont know, maybe he is checking on them, I dont know" Said Twilight shaking her head. As the Elements were arguing with each other and Celestia was trying to calm them down, Fluttershy walked towards Medicant Bias and the injured pegasi. "E-excuse me sir" Fluttershy stuttered in a very low voice, making it almost impossible for the average pony to hear, but Medicant Bias could hear her very well. "Uh?" Medicant Bias turned his head to look at the source of the voice "What's the matter little one?" He asked "W-w-what are you and y-your friends doing?" She asked noticing that the green beams from the sentinels were healing the pegasi wounds and bruises. "They are using a healing beam on their injuries to disinfect and accelerate the healing proccess on their bodies" He said, making Fluttershy interested in these "healing beams". "Oh, and how they work?, I mean if you don't mind me asking" She asked in curiosity. "Well, the green lights you see are gamma and beta no-hazardous radiations that accelerate the patient cells to optimize the healing rate and rejuvenates the same cells" He tried to explain in the more simple way possible, for he knew these equines couldn't fully understand the concept of these healing beams. "Oh, you know my special talent is to help animals" Fluttershy said with a smile. "Then your role in this society is to watch over the injured wild animals?" He asked. "Well, not only injured animals, I help every single animal I can, even if they are carnivores or fishes or rats it doesn't matter and I help other ponies when I'm able to". Fluttershy said with pride and joy. Somehow this little yellow equine held a belief similar to the mantle's, that every single living being had the right to live and to be helped, it doesn't matter if it was big or small, the mantle shelters all. "Well, thats-" Medicant Bias said before looking to the horizon. An average pony wouldn't be able to see, but there were three figures that were approaching this place, by their movement it could be said that they were running or sprinting, but the matter is that they were coming this way. "Is something wrong mister?" Asked Fluttershy in concern as he got up from his crouching position. "Something is coming this way, go and warn your fellow ponies..." He said without taking his gaze away of the horizon. "O-oh my" Flutter shy said as she ran towards her friends. Before anything could happen he turned back to the injured, and placed an energy shield around them and the sentinels that were healing them then he walked a few steps forward. "Medicant Bias, what happend, Fluttershy said something is happening" Said Celestia with concern. By this time the ponies could see three shadows on the horizon, but Medicant Bias could see who they were, they were three medium sized reptiles two of them red and one blue all of them had wings and big jaws. "Their look match to what you call 'Dragons' and three of them are coming this way, presumably they were the ones that attacked your vehicles" Medicant Bias said. "Well, this jerks better be prepared for a piece of the 'RAINBOW DASH'!" Rainbow Dash referred to herself in third preson as she hovered in the air throwing a few boxing punches in the air "Rainbow Dash!, we can't fight those dragons, they are physically stronger than any pony!" Twilight said trying to knock some sense into her friend. "Plus a fight would get my mane dirty and they might even burn my tail and mane!" Said Rarity concerning more about her appearance than for her life After a couple of minutes of the ponies arguing again, Celestia was trying to warn the ponies that the drakes were already here with no success "AHEM" Said Medicant Bias in his previous deep and scary voice making all of the equines pay attention to the drakes that were a few feet from then. "Well, well, well lookie here guys we found ourselves some ponies and their care takers" Said the tall red one, reffering to the ponies and the princesses, ignoring Medicant Bias. "Oh how dare you-" Said Twilight before being interrupted by Medicant Bias. "I assume that you are the ones that attacked these equines vehicles right?" Asked Medicant Bias, completely sure that they were the responsibles for the crashing. "Uh? What if we are, who the hell are you even supposed to be, an armored Diamond Dog?" The possible leader of the other two drakes, making them laugh and snort. "My name is 05-032 Mendicant Bias, if it isn't trouble could I ask yours?" Medicant Bias asked. "Hmph, my name is tartarus falmes, Mr. Tartarus Flames for you" The drake said as it cleaned his theet with his claws, obviously the real "Mr.Tartarus" was his father. "So Medicament, are you the Princesses new pet? are you in charge of helping them releasing the stress?" He said lauging at the end, making some kind of wicked sexual joke. "THAT'S IT!" Yelled Rainbow as she flew with amazing speed towards the drake, wich reacted immediatly and grabbed her by the hind legs, subduing her by placing an arm around her neck. "Tsk, tsk, tsk you ponies should know better than that!" He said in a mocking tone. "Let go of her you brute!, Dont touch her meanie pants!, Drop her right now if you dont want' tha get bucked the next week!" all of the Elements shouted and the drake. "Let go of the equine if you don't want to face the consequences" Threatened Medicant Bias. All of the drakes laughed at his threat and the leader said. "Make me" "As you wish" Medicant Bias said as he moved with blinding speed and placed a hand on the drakes tongue, and before he even had time to react he sent a shock charge electrocuting his whole body, Rainbow didn't even feel the charge because of he fur acting as an insulating material. Once that the drake dropped Rainbow Dash, Medicant Bias let go of the drakes tounge, teleporting back towards the group and placing Rainbow down, "I had everything under control, I didn't need you help" Rainbow Dash muttered under her breath, then he got infront of the ponies once more. Once that the drake gained the control of his body again he yelled at the AI. "You think you are so tough?, let see if you are when you become a piece of coal!" The drake yelled as it took a deep breath and unleashed a torrent of flames towards him. "Bias!, Get out of the way!" Shouted Celestia as she casted a spell around her and the Elements, but he didn't even move, and she saw how the flames engulfed him. A couple of seconds after the drake ran our of breath, and had a face of confidence, searching for the molten metal and flesh of the creature that he just burned, but for his dismay the creature was just standing there, its armor not even red from the flames. "I will have to please ask you to leave if you dont want to face the consequences" Said Medicant Bias tried to avoid a battle that could end up bad... for them. The drake just gave a blood curling scream and charged towards the creature, slashing him with his claws with hopes to hurt him, but instead his claws broke. "I will give you a last chance leave, or face the consequences" Said Medicant Bias, the last sentence with a much darker tone. The drake just gave another scream and punched him in the face, something that wouldn't even harm him in any way, but the lizard made his decision. "As you wish" He said, then he sent a thunderous and swift punch of the strenght of three SPARTANs to the dakes jaw, something that sent him flying several feets again, it wasn't enough to kill him, but enough to leave him unconscious. The jaws of the two left dragons and the ponies hit the floor, this creature just defeated a drake with one punch in a matter of seconds, something that would take several minutes to a full squad of veteran guards. The two left drakes looked at each other and back to the creature and they let yelled a war cry and runned towards him, trying to advenge their leader, before they could even get close, Medicat Bias sent them flying backwards, just by the side of their fallen leader. "You don't have to end up like him, go away and you wont suffer the same fate as your leader" Said Medicant Bias. The drakes just picked the unconscious body of the other drake and one of them looked back at him. "This is not over yet" The drake said as they flew the way the came from. Once the drakes dissapeared out of sight all of the ponies but Celestia and Rainbow Dash congratulated him. "THAT WAS AWESOME!" They shouted, they couldn't believe what they saw after all, he just defeated a drake in a matter of seconds and he intimidated the rest like if it was nothing. "Thank you for helping me and my subjects Medicant Bias, if it wasn't for you I don't really know what would happend" Celestia said with a warm smile. "Rainbow isn't there something you want to say to him?" Said Twilight towards the grumpy Rainbow Dash. "Hmph, I could've handled it without your help but thanks I guess" She said looking away from him. "*sigh* Please forgive her, she just doesn't like to be helped" Twilight said to Medicant Bias. "But if I didn't intervene, there would've been strong probabilities that the drakes harmed you ponies" Explained Medicant Bias. "I know, its just her pride, deep inside her she is grateful, belive me" Twilight said with a smile "Well, now we have to figure out a way of how to get you ponies out of this place and-" Medicant Bias was cut off as an intense roar filled the air. *GROAAAR* Two massive dragons were flying towards Medicant's and the ponies direction. He quickly realized that he couldn't beat them fast enough in his current form so he changed to his previous war sphinx form making a giant shadow arount the ponies. Once that the two dragons, possibly males based off their fangs and reading of testosterone he was getting, landed the first one spoke. "Where is that insolent creature that attacked my son?!" He groared. "What are your business here?" Medicant Bias asked in a deeper voice. "So you where the little dweeb that dared to attack my son?!" Asked in rage the dragon. "My apologizes if I caused a serious damage, but those drakes were threatening these ponies, and I couldn't let them harm them." Medicant Bias stated. "Why are you apologizing?!" Asked Rainbow Dash in anger "those guys where jerks!" The dragon looked at the pony that insulted his children and looked her with yellow reptilian eyes full of rage. It let out a thunderous groar and charged to claim the blood of the pony that was stupid enough to open her mouth. Just before it got even near them, Medicant Bias sent a magnetic pulse that sent the dragon exactly back where he landed, it looked at the metal creature and he and his fellow reptilian stood in a combat stance ready to attack. Medicant Bias had to think of something, for these creatures wouldn't leave peacefully if he asked them to do so. What should Medicant Bias do? A)Pacify them: Use a special, passive beam that will work like a sedative for the dragons for a short amount of time, enough for him to get the ponies out of harm's way B)Eradicate them: Medicant Bias will have to use lethal force on these creatures to avoid them harming any innocent and defenseless creature C)Trick them: Medicant Bias has information that most primitive life beings are attracted to shiny objects, Medicant Bias will buy his freedom and the ponies in exchange of a hardlight sphere that will disappear within 24 hours Author's Note Yay nyu chapter, my apologizes to thisisastorymindyou for not sending him the chapter to pre-read it, for he was offline when i finished it, I will send you the next one dude :) P.S: If you are trying to make a Halo crossover, search for any halo full soundtrack video, and listen to it when you are writting it gives you a lot of inspiration :) The Show off part 2You chose B)Eradicate them ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Equestria Borders Near an occupied dragon nest 05:30 P.M Medicant Bias made his choice, these creatures wouldn't leave peacefully if he asked them, and he couldn't let them harm these ponies, the mantle said that every single life form had the right to live, it said too that the forerunners always had to step in between the powerfull and the weak, the the hostile and the defenseless, in this case he had to protect these ponies, even if that means that he has to erradicate these dragons. The dragon let out a spine chilling roar and charged towards him, once that he was close enough, he tried to strike him with his spiked tail, but Medicant Bias flew up in the sky dodging it, and then he dove right in the center of the dragons chest, knocking the air out of his lungs and sending him a few feet away from the ponies. The green dragon just saw how his friend was stuggling to breath, and then he looked back at the war sphinx, it's eyes full of rage, it placed one of it claws in front of him and he placed another one behind him, like if it was placing some kind of lock or anchorage to avoid being blown away after releasing a huge amount of power. The dragon lowered his head to one side with its mouth shut, but it could be seen how a few flames came out of in between his fangs, and then unleashed an ocean of flames way more powerfull than the ones that the drake's breathed on him earlier, capable of engulfing him and the ponies. The ocean of flames engulfed him, and the ponies, wich were under a magical purple shield casted by Twilight and being supported by princess Celestia, and before the shield gave up because of the incredible heat of the flames, some kind of light yellow hexagonal shield appeared out of nowhere, the ponies looking around their group, with hopes to find a glowing horn, but instead they found an flying oval shaped creature that was casting the shield around them by firing some kind of yellow beam coming out of its eye. The ponies were in awe, how was this little being casting a magic shield without a horn, but more important, how was it casting a shield stronger than the princesse's and endure such heat?. Back outside of the flames engulfing Medicant Bias and the ponies, the injured dragon finally got his breath back, and joined his fellow reptilian in the shower of flames, making the already unbearable heat even more lethal if it wasn't hot enough already. Once that the dragons ran out of breath, the flames assaulting the ponies and the creature that attacked them became smaller and smaller with the time, until there was only a big and dense curtain of smoke and ashes, they were so dense that they couldn't see through them, they had to wait for them to dissipate. The dragons were already congratulating themselves, they didn't just obliterated a new strange creature, but they roasted two of the princesses of equestria!, they didn't have to search for other source of food now, or live scared because the princesses could suddnly make the sun never rise on their territory again, that could consequently make several dragons starve to death or making them freeze to death, now they were the dominant species in this country. But before the dragons could fly off towards the nest, they heard an electrical flickering sound. *TSS-SSSS* Once that they turned their heads back to the curtain of smoke, they could hear that the sound was coming from inside the cloud of black somke, and they could see how some kind of light flickered inside of it, with several yellow dots floating in the air. And after a few moments, for they dismay, they could see that the creature didn't even flinched by their flames, and it had some kind of yellow dots floating under every single metal feather the creature had, every second they seemed to become a little bit bigger. The green, smaller dragon roared in anger and he flew high in the sky, first this thing attacks his nephew and his brother like if it was no big deal, and now he wasn't even fazed by his flames?. It was time for him to rip appart this creature and the ponies with his own claws, and then he doved towards te creature, placing his claws infront of his face, acting like if he was some kind of harpoon that was going to pierce the war sphinx. But just before the dragon even got close to the creature, every single yellow orb that were floating beneath his feathers were shot at the diving dragon in some kind of nedle form. The dragon tried to dodge the projectiles made of light by flying to his side, but the hardlight spears just bended to the side, following the dragon at lightning speeds. Once that the spears reached the dragon, he let out a blood curling scream, for every single needle pierced through his body, entering by one side of his body and getting out by the other side. After a few seconds of being suspended in the air, the hardlight spears were extinguished, and the dead body of the dragon fell to the ground, looking like some kind of cheese, blood leaking out of every hole. Medicant Bias placed his eyes on the body of the dragon, and started to glow orange-yellowish, and he shot two red beams towards it, making the body start to disintegrate in some kind of yellow petals that dissapeared seconds after, after one minute, the body of the dragon was gone, leaving only a pool of blood. The other dragon was in a state of pure shock, they were both dragons, adult dragons, they had an unmatched strenght and agility, plus the wisdom that they collected through the hundreds of years of experience made them even more dangerous, and now this creature comes out of nowhere with a bunch of ponies, survives their infernal fire, and it got rid of his brother like a fly, like if he was nothing. Soon the shock turned into fear, and it instatly turned into hate and rage, maybe it killed his brother, but he was younger, but him, he was one thousand and seven hundred and fifty years old, he had more than a milenia of experience, and his power was far more advanced than any dragon he knew, he had to win this fight. GROWL"Whatever or whoever you are, consider yourself and those ponies dead" He said pointing the ponies that were inside the bubble shield and running his claw across his neck. "And dont even try your cheap-light magic or whatever you call it on me, my scales are way more resistant than my brother's, cannon balls shatter against my scales!" The dragon proclaimed, in a desperate try to intimidate the creature, but Medicant Bias didn't even thought about a chance of this dragon getting out from this battle alive, there were very few things on the galaxy that could take on the artillery of a war sphinx without getting obliterated. Medicant Bias didn't even talk, he was just waiting for the dragon to make the first move, so he could get over with this nonsensical fight at once. Grrr"Buck you then" Said the dragon clenching his teeth, as he sunk his claw on the ground. The veins in his body started to grow, as well as his muscles, his scales started to grow thicker, his fangs became sharper and larger until he grew in mass until he became about two times bigger in comparison of his last form. Medicant Bias was archiving all of the fight in his data banks, all of the knowledge he could gather in this planet was very valuable, and this was interesting indeed, the dragon seemed to use some kind of natural steroid to increase his combat ability, he had to learn more about that once this fight was finished. The dragon gave the metal being one last time and saw its eyes were glowing crimson red, but that didn't matter now, he leaned back, pressing a lot of force on his back legs, and in one single lunge, it launched itself at an incredible speeds, and in a matter of seconds he was infront of the war spinx, and he placed one of his claws on it's head, and leaned back to deliver an incredible strong punch, however, Medicant Bias didn't like to be touched, and he sent an incredible charged shock charge to the exterior hull of his combat suit, making the dragon's muscles to contract and convulse. Then once the particle accelerators Medicant Bias was charging while the dragon was too busy bragging where fully charged, and he shot a single beam of ionized particles from his eyes to the dragon's arm, the force of the sudden impact making the enchanced dragon to be sent just a couple of feet away. The dragon felt an horrible pain and a huge pinch on his claw, but after two seconds, it stoped, and brought his gaze towards his foe. "I said that It wouldn't work on me" The dragon said with a grin confident that he had this battle already won, he leaned back to try another strike, but then felt the same pain again, wich made him clutch his hand in pain. When he saw his claw again, the horror struck him, it was being disintegrated into some kind of yellow petals that soon disapeared in the air. Impulsed by the panic, his survival instincts kicked in him and the dragon tried anything he could do, he tried to scratch his claw, he blew fire into it, he even tried to rip the scales out of his claw, but nothing worked, soon whatever was trying to kill him already disintegrated his whole hand and it was moving starting to consume the arm. In a desperate try of survival, the dragon chopped off his arm from the elbow, his arm fell to the ground followed by a blast of blood and it dissapeared in a matter of seconds. But it did not matter whatever the dragon tried to do, he was already doomed since the beam made contact with his body, soon enough the newly amputated arm started to morph into little yellow petals that would dissapear in the sky, soon his other arm started suffer the same fate as well as his tail. The dragon screamed in pain and desesperation as he felt how his extremities and insides where slowly disintegrated, soon after a few seconds of blood and screams, there was nothing left of the dragon, just like his brother the only thing he left behind was a pool of blood. Once the fight was over, silence took over the area, the only sound that could be heared was the wind, and the energy shields that the sentinels were deploying, after a few seconds, the remaining sentinels rose up the ground coming out of their cloak as they started to round Medicant Bias in search of any damage. The ponies were in shock, after the gruesome display, Celestia heavily reconsidering the invitation she gave to the creature to come to the capital city, he already showed that he is far more powerfull than an ancient dragon, and he wiped out two of them with ease in a matter of minutes, a thing that would usually take almost an army of guards with the princesses help, and this creature showed that he was capable of doing it without even being harmed. Once the sentinels were done with the scans, Medicant Bias turned around facing the ponies, an action that made princess Celestia stand in a defensive pose, shielding the elements behind her, he did not seemed to care, for he just changed to a prone position, floating right above the ground, making him look like some kind of space stingray, and then spoke, the lights in his eyes flickering with each word. "Your vehicles are not usable at the moment, if we want to reach the destination you should cling on me" Medicant Bias said. "What do you mean by 'WE'?!" Rainbow Dash said taking a step forward, spreading her wings in a try to make herself look bigger. Celestia just placed a hoof infront of her chest, stoping her in her tracks as she gave her a disapproving look and then she turned onto Medicant Bias. "I... don't think that bringing you to Canterlot is a good idea after all" She said looking to the ground. "Is there something troubling you?" Medicant Bias said, crurious about the sudden change of Idea. "Y-y-you killed those poor dragons..." Fluttershy whimpered in a very low voice. After finding out what was the problem, Medicant Bias started to formulate an answer, It was obvious that these ponies were not familiar with violence, and they were upset because of his recent display, even though the dragons were threatening their lifes, they were still upset because of their deaths, just like most forerunners would feel about killing an innocent creature. "My apologizes if my display was quite... gruesome, even though it is hard for me to admit it, the extermination of those creatures was necessary" Medicant Bias said trying to convince the ponies that the sacrifice was necessary. At this point, the sadness of Fluttershy was morphing into anger, he just KILLED those dragons without even showing remorse!, she knew that most of the dragons could be very mean, but they were still living beings!, and killing them like that without prejudice was just, horrible!. Fluttershy gathered all the strength she had, and picked herself up off the ground, hovering in the air. "H-how dare you..." She said wiping the tears out of her face, all eyes on her. "Fluttershy..." Whispered Twilight with sadness, sadness of seeing her friend so upset. "How dare you to say that the death of those poor dragons was necessary?!" Fluttershy asked in anger as she started to fly towards Medicant Bias. Doing her best to at least getting one apology out of him. "They were defending their family, and you just killed them!, that dragon is probably all alone now, because you killed his father!" Fluttershy was now at this point hoovering right infront of the war sphinx's face, deploying her most effective weapon, The Stare. "Fluttershy, that's enough, we are all upset but-" Twilight tried to calm down her friend, but she was interrupted. "No!, I want to know what he needs to say, he need to apologize!." Fluttershy exclaimed, demanding an apolgy from the forerunner ancilla. Medicant Bias was just sitting there, he couldn't make this equine understand that those reptiles had pure intentions of getting rid of them, and he protected them, and what does he get in return? Insolence, insults and a pony that is demanding an apology for saving them, something deep inside of him flickered by a moment, he felt something that he hadn't felt in milenias, Anger. "I have nothing to say to you" Medicant Bias said as he started to hoover higher than Fluttershy, his eyes changing to a crimson red. "How dare-" She tried to say before being interrupted by him once again. "I just did what my master would've wanted, I protected you from destruction, those beings don't care what you have to say to them, they dont care if you are peacefull, they are going to kill you no matter what, for them you are just another target, another meal, and if you aren't even capable of being gratefull for my help, then you are not whorty of it, you are not even Reclaimers, I shouldn't even be wasting time with you." Medicant Bias said, hoovering just above Fluttershy, the pony was sobbing by now, she just wanted to protect all she could, but she realised that it doesn't matter how many animals she helps, most of them will still see her as a meal. Once he realised that he reduced this pony to tears with just words, he regained control over himself once again, this wasn't right, that wasn't supposed to happen, he wanted to show that he was here to help, and he was going the wrong way. All of the remaining elements rushed over to comfort her, some of them giving him quick death glares, Celestia approached to Medicant Bias. "Was that really necessary?" Celestia said, concerned of the sudden outburst of anger towards Fluttershy. "I-Im really sorry, that wasn't supposed to happen, I dont know what was the problem with my system a few moments ago" Medicant Bias tried to explain, not wanting to tell them his experience with Rampancy. "System?" Celestia thought, what did he meant with system?. "Anyways, its not me the one you are supposed to be apologizing to..." Celestia said, looking to the now comforted Fluttershy that was getting up the ground. Medicant Bias understood that if he wanted to show these equines his kind side, he should start by apologizing for his sudden outburst of anger. He started to hoover towards the group of equines, they started to move around, making a barrier between him and Fluttershy. "Let him." Celestia said ordering them to get out of the way, so Medicant Bias could get closer to Fluttershy. Even though they did not liked the idea of letting him through they got out of the way, looking each of his movements, searching for an excuse to get him away of their friend. Once Medicant Bias was close enough, Fluttershy closed her eyes tightly, and emited a quiet meep as she curled in a ball, not knowing what Medicant Bias was going to do. "My apologizes" He said, all of the mane six looked at him in confusion, and an ear of Fluttershy twitched, informing that she was listening to him. "Im sorry for my sudden outburst earlier, its just that I couldn't let those dragons do whatever they wanted to do with you ponies, my ideals dictated me to protect you and your firends, but I do not expect you to forgive my attitude towards you earlier" He explained, trying his best to appeal to the soft side of the pony named Fluttershy. "Don't apologize..." She said getting up the ground, wiping her tears away "It was my fault, its just that, sometimes I forget that not all animals are nice, and some of them still see me as a meal, even when I help them". Medicant Bias just stood there, thinking, these equines that called themselves ponies, were in fact, somewhat, somewhat like the forerunners, in the aspect that every single one of them where kind and forgiving, but at the same time firm, when other races maybe would've taken his sudden outburst of rage as a sign of agression, they just took it as concern from him to them. Maybe later he could run some exams, on himself and the ponies, but he had another priority right now, he turned to see the incredibly damaged chariot, the flames still dancing above it, they wouldn't go anywhere in that thing, and then he turned to Celestia. "We are not going anywhere in that vehicle," Medicant said turning his gaze for one second to the chrased chariot and then turning to Celestia once more"How long would it take for another vehicle to arrive at this location?" "Well, it depends on how fast I can send a beacon to Canterlot in order for a squad of guards to arrive here and assuming that this sunny day is going to last, I would say a couple of hours..." Celestia answered. A couple of hours?, they didn't have a couple of hours, they couldn't just sit there and wait for another predator to show up and try to jump on them from behind, it wasn't a problem for him ofcourse, there where almost none biogical creatures that could even scratch a forerunner artifact, but still, he couldn't guarantee a 100% the ponies safety, he would need to take the ponies to the destination himself. "It should be faster if I helped you get to your city" Medicant Bias said, moving to a prone position, hoovering just inches above the ground. "Wait, what do you mean by- WOAH!" Rainbow Dash was cut off by a sentinel using some kind of blue beam to grab her and then move her to Medicant Bias' back. "What is going on!" Twilight said as she and all of the other ponies where grabbed by some kind of blue beam and positionated them onto back of Medicant Bias, once all the ponies, and the injured guards where positionated on his back he spoke. "Please, do not be alarmed, I'm going to magnetize your hoofs to me for your own safety, you might feel a light pinch." He said, as he conducted a non lethat, but strong, charge of energy to the equines hoofs, enough to make a small energy shield that surronded all of their hoofs, ensuring that no wind would blow them away. "Clestia, I must admit that I'm oblivious to the location of our destination, so I would be very gratefull if you told me which way we are headed" Medicant Bias said "W-well Canterlot is located North-west, but you cant just..." Celestia tried to say but was cut-off by Medicant Bias. "I'm sorry Celestia but this is no time for explanations, once we reach our destiny I will answer all your questions but for now." Medicant Bias said as he started to to hoover away from the ground "Please, prepare yourselfs for the take-off" "Wow buddy, who the hell you think you are talking to? I'm the RAINBOW DASH I can do a sonic rain-WOAAH!" Rainbow Dash claimed until Medicant Bias flew off with them at an incredible speed of MACH 5. "HOW FAST IS THIS THING GOING?!" Rarity shouted, lowering her head a litte, trying to not get her mane messed up by the wind. "We are currently traveling at a MACH 5 speed, fast enough to reach out destination in a matter of minutes" Medicant Bias said, already having his vision zoomed into a distant city on a mountain. "WAIT! MEDICANT, WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY IS THAT YOU JUST CAN'T LAND ABOVE THE CITY JUST LIKE THIS, IT WOULD MAKE ALL THE CITIZENS PANIC WITHOUT MENTIONING THE INTERNATIONAL LEADER'S OUTRAGE OF A FOREIGN CREATURE!" Celestia said trying to get her mane off her face. "In that case I'll take security meassures." Medicant Bias said, already slowing down and hovering thousands of meters over Canterlot. "Look! everypony at Canterlot looks like little ants, HELLO LITTLE PONY ANTS!" Pinkie shouted, somehow waving her mane as a hoof. Suddenly an translucid blue oval surrounded Medicant Bias and the ponies, making them almost completely invisible. "Woah, what is this?..." Twilight asked her curiosity taking over her. "This is a camouflage field, we are completely invisible to the naked eye." Medicant Bias explained to the curios pony. "This is quite impressive im must say, usually an invisibility spell would consume a lot of magic just to deploy it on an average size pony, but you just made one around all of yourself, you have to tell me how it works." Twilight said in wonder. "That will be in another time little one, for now we arrived at castle." Medicant Bias said, as he landed softly in the grass of the castle's garden. "It would be the best for me to stay as hidden as possible, if what you said was true, I dobut you would want to have international affairs about what to do with me." Medicant Bias explained "I will transform back to my combat suit form and I'll follow you inside your castle." Medicant Bias said as turned off the magnetic fields on the ponies hoofs, allowing them to climb off him. "Okay, we just have to get in the castle and we'll search for a more private place to talk." Celestia said as she walked inside the castle, being followed by her sister, the mane six and an invisible Forerunner AI. Celestia just needed to be very carefull with her decisions from now on. Author's Note Sorry for being inactive all this time, I was just out of inspiration. ALSO Curious info: Did you knew that the masterchief's mjolnir armor is rated as a class 2 combat skin in forerunner standards? and that forerunner civilians have to wear atleast a Class 8 combat skin, and even though masterchief's mjolnir was a combat skin of class 2 it was more effective against the flood than the class 8 combat skins, because of it's capabilities to endure hazardous enviroments, making the user almost immune to the flood infection... Chapter 4: ExplanationsThe mane six walked along with Celestia and their newest invisible alien acquaintance in the hallways of Canterlot's castle, the echo of hoof steps and a weird low tuned humming invading its walls. The group came to a halt after meeting a dead end, facing only a big pearl white wall. "Give me a second please." Celestia said as she leaned her head forward, barely touching the wall with her yellow glowing horn, and then taking a step back. After a few seconds the image of the wall became to distort until vanishing into thin air, revealing a dark room with a stair staircase leading to the unkown darkness from below. "Please follow me" Celestia doing so, and the rest of the group doing so, leaving the hallway and the magic mirage replenishing itself. "EEP" Fluttershy cringed as the shadows of the room surrounded her, a faint violet light being emanated by Twilight's horn repelling the dark void. After that the ponies continued to descend the stairwell, the only sound they could heard was the humming that confirmed them that the AI was still with them, and the hooves clanking against the metal of the stairwell. And after what seemed and eternity, the group arrived at the end of the spiral, the moment Celestia laid her foot on the cold stone ground, several sticks on the walls with some kind of flawlessly cut gems started to glow mimicking a torch, revealing several weapon racks and small tables, with a couple of bunk beds on the far corners and a big stone table on the middle. "Are you still with use Medicant Bias?" Celestia said looking specifically nowhere. "I've been following you all this time Celestia." Medicant Bias said in his ever monotone, but sophisticated voice. "Well you need no more to hide, we are safe here." Celestia said as she approached the table on the center, the main six exploring the room in awe and Medicant Bias depleting his camouflage. "What is this place?" Twilight asked in wonder as her eyes darted to one corner to the other in amazement, glimmering with the ember light the magic gems emaneted. "This used to serve as a command center for the army of equestria in times of war" Celestia said as she approached one of the bunk beds "but since our county hasn't seen war in thousands of years, it lost its use, until now." "Now if you would, please everyone take a seat" Celestia said as she brushed the few cobwebs there were in her seat and sat down. The rest of the group did so, Rarity a little bit disgusted by the fact of having to sit on a dusty, cold chair of stone, but she complied. Medicant Bias was hesitant, but after running a few scans, he discovered that these were no normal stone chairs, they were reinforced with the same energy princess Celestia was emanating from her this whole time, so he took a seat, right in front of Celestia, the chair creaked and a few cracks were made, but nothing worse than that. "Okay, since now have peace and privacy, I think this is the best time to know eachother a little bit more" Celestia said, turning her gaze to Medicant Bias. "I know that you already told us your name back at the archeology camp, but I have never seen a sentient creature with your kind of power, so if it doesn't bother you, I must ask you; What exacly are you?" Celestia said, everyone in the room leaning their heads a few centimeters forward, trying to hear everything that had to be said without missing a single detail. "As I said before, I'm Medicant Bias, my masters were the forerunners, and I was in charge of the defense of my own masters" Medicant Bias said, Twilight frowned at this and asked. "So you are some kind of soldier then?" Twilight asked, which had some sense on the head of the others, after remembering his display of power back with the dragons. "Not exactly, I was the one responsible to manage the troops and create strategies of the forerunner-flood war." Medicant Bias explained, getting Celestia even more curious about her guest. "So a commander to be exact." Twilight said as she took with her magic a quill and a paper from nowhere and started to furiosly scribble. Just before Celestia could ask another question a pink mane blocked her vision of Medicant Bias. "Oh,Oh I have a question!" Pinkie shouted bonucing on her tail on the table. "What troubles you?" Asked Medicant Bias, observating how the pink pony bounced infront of him. "Like when is your birthday, because after all of this I'm going to throw a party for you, afterthe'welcomemralienandthanksfornotdestroyingequestia' party, becauseicantmakeapartywithoutknowingyourbirth-...." Pinkie was interrupted as Twilight grabbed hold of her with her magic and shoved her back to her seat, trying to not anger the alien that could doom all of the planet if it wanted to. "Actually I do not have a bitrthday, because I was infact never born." Medicant Bias explained. Everyone in the room except for Celestia and Luna gasped at this. "What do you mean that you were never born, that doesn't have any sense you are sitting right there!" Twilight shouted, her brain at the brink of exploding. Rarity simply fainted, for some reason imaginating an interruption on pregnancy, Fluttershy rushed to ten to her, Pinkie's mane became flat imaginating the horrors of never having a birthday party, Rainbow Dash barking something about how she said that he wasn't trustworthy with Applejack. "I've been explaining you that all this time, I'm an Artificial Intellingence, my masters litterally created me." Medicant Bias said , trying to convince the ponies he was telling the thruth. "But it doesn't work like that, there is no way a living being can create something so complex like life from nothing!" Twilight exclaimed, trying to defend the last bit of sanity she had left. "You must believe me, I was created by the forerunner, and I wasn't created from nothingness, most AI are the essence of an entity that passed away, in my case, you could say that I'm half an essence and half an Artificial being." Medicant Bias tried to explain this to them without revealing his dark past to the ponies. "So are you like a ghost?" RD asked frowning. "That is not accurate at all, but if that makes you feel more comfortable then yes. " Medicant Bias said. "O-ok, next question; What kind of magic do you use?" Celestia said, trying to swallow the information she was just given. "Excuse me?" Medicant Bias asked, catched off guard by her statement, magic? Haven't these equines seen this kind of technology before?. "You already showed us that you have an extreme control over your magic, by morphing yourself from the size of the castle to a height of 8 to 9 feet, and even getting rid of... a dragon all by yourself, could you explain it to us how you got this kind of powers?" Celestia asked, trying to learn what kind of magic is powerful enough to put her magic and maybe even the elements of harmony to shame. "Oh, that, in fact I do not possess any kind of 'magic', as you call it, this is all the wonders of the Forerunner empire technology " Medicant Bias explained. "So what you are you trying to say is not only that your people managed to create artificial life, but they managed to create an empire without a single touch of magic?! " Twilight asked dumbfounded. "An empire across the galaxy to be precise." Medicant Bias corrected. "AND THEY MANAGED TO RULE THE ENTIRE GALAXY TOO?!" Twilight shouted, she just wanted to go to the farthest corner of the room, curl into a fetal position and start swaying back and forth while singing Fluttershy lullaby. "All this guy is saying is manure!" Rainbow Dash excalimed while stomping her front hooves on the table "I mean if there was an empire ruling this galaxy right now, then we would've heard from them by now!" "Rainbow Dash thou shall not insult our guest!" Princess Luna finally broke her silence, earning a confused look from AppleJack, whom didn't noticed her by now. "Unfortunately, as far as I know my masters ceased to be a hundred thousand and three hundred years ago, along with their empire, leaving their creations like me behind." Medicant Bias said, If he was an organic life form, he would've displayed sorrow and melancholy after his statement. "A hundred thousand years?" Celestia asked confused "Then how old are you?" "I'm exactly one hundred thousand and forty three years old " Medicant Bias said to the ponies with his ever present calm. After that, chaos took over again. Rarity who just recovered a few minutes ago, fainted once again, Twilight was trying to find her happy place, RD was just screaming obsenities with AppleJack sermonizing her about how she should watch her lenguange, Celestia and Luna silently arguing and pinkie was just sad once again, more than a hundred thousand years without parties?!. "SILENCEEEEEEEEEE" Luna's royal voice boomed, making the walls shake and hushing the arguing inside the chamber. "You know what this is it!" RD said as she launched herself at an amazing speed at Medicant Bias. "Rainbow Dash wait!" Celestia had no time to react a grab hold of her, if she angered him, then all of her kingdom was doomed. Medicant Bias ran several test of the actual situation, every single one of them ending in the equine's known as Rainbow Dash demise, most of them showing that at her speed colliding with a mass as thick as him would occasionate a fatal injury on the brain, other scan suggested that she wouldn't die on the impact, but it would be incredibly probable that a blood cot would cause an embolism that would lead her to a slow and painful death, so he reacted. Before she could make contact with him he grabbed hold of her with an engineer sentinel beam, most of the sentinels had one for it made it easier to manipulate heavy objects with it. After the beam made contact with her, she came to a dead stop, it was similar to the unicorns magic, but this was a fine, cold and incredibly strong energy, unlike the unicorns aura that would wave and wasn't as nearly as strong as this energy, Rainbow Dash couldn't move a single muscle. She was completly indefense. And she swore that for one minuscle second, Medicant Bias' eyes flashed red. Author's Note Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Im not dead guys! I wasn't writing for the last months because I felt that the story wasn't good enough, I mean, Im a huge fan of stories that have objective structure, that get the right personality of the character, and that has a good plot, but after reading one of my chapters I almost faint... that and I was out of inspiration. after that I just started to read other peoples stories because I felt maybe that way I would improve my writting skills, and I think that I fixed the objective thing just a little bit, and then I started to notice, that even though the story wasn't uptaded I was still getting favs and I said 'Awww' so, Im back, sorry the story is not as long as the others. So, Im sure there are a few grammar errors up there (and maybe here) but i'll fix them as soon as I can. I'm alivekek Yeah, well its been almost like what 3 years or so? Idk, truth is that I'm not into FIM anymore, hence why I pretty much abandoned the site (and this story), also I just wanted to check if my account hadn't been deleted for inactivity and lo and behold, its still here, and looking back at the story I'm still happy with the main plot that I had in mind, but then I cringe HARD when I see all the misspellings and all that crap that ironically turns me off from reading anything. Well it's been a while since then and I like to think that my grasp on the lenguage has gotten better (English ain't my native lenguage if you can't tell already), so if I decide to continue the story (wich is a 50/50 since as I already said, I'm not into FiM anymore) I will start by editing all the previous chapters first, adding and taking away unecessary fillers and that kind of stuff. So yeah, I'm surprised people were still waiting for an update for this thing wich is one of the reasons I feel obliged to continue this until at the very least I feel comfortable to end it. So yeah, that's basically it guys.
Chapter 1: ConfrontationPresent Day Ponyville - Equestria It was a normal day on Equestria, especially ponyville. The wind moved the leaves, the ponies were in the street chatting, some of them even moving little carts filled with vegetables and other kind of things. But inside a particular tree a particular lavender mare was jumping up and down in extreme joy. “Twilight!” Said the baby dragon “Can you calm down please?!” Since Twilight read a letter that Celestia, her mentor, sent, she wouldn’t stop jumping up and down and shouting “YES! YES!” “Im sorry spike!” Said Twilight “But this is simply PERFECT!” Spike just groaned at her response, she wouldn’t even drop the note so he could read what all the commotion was about. “Well, you are going to make the neighbors think that you are making a book fortress” Said the baby dragon with a little bit of annoyance “Again…” Twilight just stopped in mid air and then she fell to the ground with a blush on her face. “Im sorry spike, but this is just incredible! Princess Celestia is inviting me to Sarabia’s ruins!” Exclaimed Twilight Silence took over the library a few seconds and then spike finally spoke “So what?” He asked tilting his head “SO WHAT?!” She Shouted a little bit angry “Spike the Sarabia Ruins are so old, that they were made even before the princesses parents were born!,” Informed Twilight “And they are thought that they were made even before their Grandfathers!” “Still, they are a bunch of rock and sand” Spike said “ nothing awesome or out of this world” “Spike! The thing that matters is the knowledge of an ancient civilization, we don’t know what they could teach us…” Twiligh said with her eyes shining looking at specifically nowhere. “But this is the important part Spike” Twilight said turning her gaze “Im going to be absent around here for days, maybe a couple of weeks, so you are the one in charge of the library while Im gone” she said with a dead serious tone “Can I trust in you Spike?” She asked Spike was astonished, he couldn’t believe what Twilight was saying. Not the fact that she would leave him alone for weeks. But that the fact that he would have those weeks for himself! “YOOHOOO!” He exclaimed jumping in the air with his arms extended Then he looked at Twilight with a confused expression and suddenly corrected himself “I mean Yes! You can count on me to look over the library!” he said Twilight had the same deadpan face that she had a while ago “Ah, common Twilight, don’t you belive in me?”He asked as he got in his knees “Plus, Im going to be with Rarity and the girls most of the time!” “About that Spike” Twilight commented looking a little bit concerned of spike’s reaction “The girls are coming with me too...” “WHAT?!” Shouted spike A couple of weeks without Twilight was okay, But weeks without Rarity?! “Common Twi!” Spike said trying to appeal to her compressive side “Im sorry spike, But Celestia specifically said that she wants all of us with her” Twilight said putting a few books on her saddle bag “But if the girls are gone, how Im going to hang out with?!” Spike asked in desperation “Well, you can hang out with Applebloom, Scootalo, and Sweetiebelle” “Really?! They are going to include me in one of their crazy adventures to get their cutiemarks!” Spike said “Well then, you can always stay at the library and read” Twilight said “However,” She said opening the door “I need to get the girls, the royal chariot is going to be here any moment now!” “B-But Twiligh!” “Good bye!” She said Spike just got up the floor and started murmuring something as he got upstairs. 100,000 years ago Ecummene Council Unknown location 2 particular beings stood around a table. 1 of them wore a full body armor, obviously being male. And the other was in normal clothes, and revealing that she was a female because of her face and body complexion “ Why did you summoned me and only me, Master Builder?” said The Female one “Librarian” The master builder said “I have unsettling news that could not be appropriate for your husband” He said “And what would those be?” Asked the Librarian “I assume that you remember Medicant Bias…” He said with a little bit of sadness “Yes, The AI with the responsibility of taking care of the flood under dire circumstances” She said Silence took over the room and then The Librarian spoke “What about it Faber?” She asked in concern “Well…” he said moving his arm to a panel “It would be better if you saw on your own” Then a hologram of a big barrier, surrounded by forerunner ships appeared, and in front of the barrier there was a massive fleet of ships, over 4 million to be exact. “The Maginot Sphere” Said the Master Builder and the Librarian at unison And then a familiar male voice that was recorded by a ship that managed to escape “What has taken you millennia to create, I erase in seconds." Said the voice Then the massive fleet started to shoot at the Maginot Sphere, obliterating the defensive ships, and the barrier at the same time “Medicant Bias has gone rampant” The Master builder said Suddenly all the crowd on the Council Chambers started to shout “And what is the cause of this disgrace?” The Librarian said turning to Faber “Our creations, especially the Artificial Intelligences are made to be functioning for milenias, In this case it was Corrupted” “And how did this happen, If may I ask?” asked the Librarian The Master Builder just moved his gaze to the hologram, and then back to the Librarian “I sent Medicant Bias to Interrogate The Captive, without the Ecumene Council approval” “The Captive?, As in the last precursor in this galaxy? “Yes, for I was curious about what he was doing helping the humans” “But now, the problem that we are facing is a greater enemy than the flood,” he said turning to the librarian “And there is only one way to stop this” The crowd started to murmur, many of them knowing what would this solution lead to. “The Halo arrays” whispered The Librarian “Yes, But with Medicant Bias in the flood’s power we cannot do much…” “I will think of a way to Create an offensive AI to hold medicant Bias off” Said the Librarian addressing to Faber “And you must accelerate the Halo arrays completion” Said Faber “What about all living beings in the galaxy? The Humans? The San ‘Shyuum? “My life workers and I will search for a way to catalogize all living things on the galaxy, and then they may reborn from the ashes and ruins of our species” The Master Builder suddenly remembered the absent member of the council “What about your husband,” he Said looking at the empty pedestal “Will he support our actions?” He asked, knowing that the Didact wouldn’t accept what the council has come to The Librarian just sighed, knowing that all of his husband crimes against the living things of the galaxy had to be stopped “I will take care of that, for now we have bigger issues to worry about she said turning to the holographic panel. Present Day Sarabia's Desert air territory “Im so excited!” Twilight was so excited, she and her friends were in a chariot on the way to Srabia to investigate ancient ruins, possibly full of wisdom. “Grah, Twilight, why did you have to bring us with you?, you know that im not in that egghead stuff” Dash groaned and complained “Now Dash, I reckon that this isn’t the most excitin’ trip, but you dont to be so rude” Said Applejack “Im sorry Rainbow Dash, but princess Celestia said that she wants all of us to be there” Explained Twilight “Aww, Come on Dashy! It going to be fun! We even may find pony mummies!” Exclaimed Pinkie pie imitating the walking of a mummy making,wich made Fluttershy shiver like a little twig being moved by a storm “M-mu-mm-mummies?” She stuttered, while hiding behind her mane. “Oh, Don’t worry darling,” Said Rarity while peting her head “Im not as smart as Twilight, but I can assure you that there are no such things as mummies” She said, in an effort to cheer Fluttershy up “By the way Rarity,” Said Twilight while looking at her clothes “Why are you not using the archaeologist outfit that the guards gave us?” She questioned Rarity seemed somewhat insulted at Twilight's statment “What?!, You expect me to use that?!” She shouted insulted, pointing at Twilight’s outfit “Geez, its not like you are going to die from it” Rainbow Dash complained rolling her eyes “Oh why you little…!” While the Applejack and Twilight were trying to calm down Rarity and Rainbow Dash, no one but Fluttershy noticed that the chariot just landed “um- Twilight- um girls- we are here, we should stop fighting and get out if you don’t mind” Fluttershy tried to say Unfortunately for her and her quite voice, no one seemed to notice until Twilight catched a glance of sand and a archeologist camp out of the window “Oh girls” Twilight said opening the door “We are here!” While all of the rest of the mane six started the get out of the chariot, just Fluttershy stayed behind, with a look in her face of wanting to cry her eyes out “Uh?” Twilight said looking behind to see Fluttershy with watery eyes “Fluttershy are you okay?” Twilight asked concerned to her friend “Im okay, its just a little bit of sand that got in my eyes” Fluttershy lied “Well, then come on, there is a lot of interesting stuff around here” Twilight said to Fluttershy, helping her to get out of the chariot The camp by itself was amazing for any kind of pony that loved knowledge, there was from strange glyphs to ancient tools, and sometimes the ponies would see a camel, obviously being the traslators And there was a particular tent that highlighted between all of the conventional tents, it was atleas 10 feet tall, with with and yellow colors, with 2 guards on the entrance, obviously it belonged to Princess Celestia Once that the mane six approached to the tent, one of the guard noded to the other one, and then the same guard entered the tent, only to come back seconds later “The princess has been waiting for your arrival, please enter” the guar said as he opened the entrance from one side so they could get in “What a gentle colt” murmured rarity, making the guard to blush slightly, not enough to bee seen, but it was there When they entered everypony on the room got impressed. From outside the tent seemed to be some 5 foot of height But from the inside it was as big as the trone room, it was filled with all sort of cushions, paintings, pastries and other kind of things Twilight was not impressed by the size of the tent, it was obviously a spell to make a confined space bigger, but what impressed her, it was the massive line of books that were in there Many of them were in Gryponian and Zebrican, but she did not care, many of them were ancient books, containing old and power full spells and other kinds of knowledge And at the very center of the room Celestia was sitting on a blue and yellow cushion “Princess Celestia!” All of the mane six said, as they bowed to her “Please rise my little ponies, this is no time for formalities” Celestia said, hinting worry in her voice “What’s wrong Princess?” Asked Twilight Celestia just looked at her side to see a crystal box with a very strange glyph, and then she returned her gaze to Twilight “Twilight, you know, that sometimes when ruins are explored, there might be very strange things awaiting to be discovered” She said “Well, yeah” Twilight answered Celestia sighed “Well, what we found was-” Celestia was cut off by Pinkie appearing out of nowhere “MUMMIES!” She shouted “EEP!” The now scared Fluttershy hid behind her mane shaking violently “Pinkie!” everyone on the room but Celestia and Flutteshy shouted “What?” Pinkie said “ I couldn’t resist it” Twilight just facehoofed at her friend’s logic “What where you saying Princess?” she asked putting herself together Celestia just chuckled at this and then she spoke “What I was saying is that after a while of excavating inside a pyramid, we started to find new and strange symbols” She said looking over the box again “Well, possibly they were Camel glyphs no?” Rarity said Celestia returned her gaze to the Mane Six “The thing is, that nopony could decipher them, not even our experts on the ancient Sarabian glyphs” She said, but this time she lifted the box and the she placed it in front of them, so they could see what it was Once she opened the box she levitated it in the air, revealing a piece of rock containg a very strange symbol It was a cyrcle, with some kind of sickle turned upwards, with 4 sticks coming out of its side and some kind of magnifying glass “What in tarnation is that?” Applejack asked pointing at the glyph “We don’t know but what we know, it is not from the ancient sarabia or any other civilization we know about” Celestia said as she started to turn the object in a 360 degree “Oh, Oh, Oh!” Pinkie Pie raised her hoof and she waved it around the air “What is it Pinkie?” Celestia asked, wanting to know what Pinkie Pie needed to say “What if that thing is ALIEN!” She said pointing at the glyph The mane six (except for Fluttershy and Twilight) just groaned in annoyance “Pinkie,” Rainbow Dash said “Why on Equestria do you think of that thing be something alien?” “Actually, Rainbow Dash” Twilight said while approaching the glyph, “this may be of alien origin” “What?!” Rainbow Dash said “Pleas Twilight, don’t tell me that you belive in aliens” “This is the only logical answer that can be think of Rainbow Dash, plus”, She said, still looking at the object “I don’t think that we are the only things that exist, actually I don’t think that our planet and the sun are the only ones” Just as Celestia was going to support Twilight with her point of view, a pony came running in the tent, only to be tackled by a guard “Princess!” shouted the pony “The Archeologist, they found something outside the camp!” “Guard Realese him!” Celestia commanded The guard stood up, and the pony aswell, getting the dust off him “And What is it my little pony?” asked the concerned Princess “No body knows my princess,” He said, and then he pointed at the glyph “But it is exactly the same symbol as that one” Celestia just stood silent and then she levitated a box, a box wich contained the most powerful artifacts that Equestria had “Girls, take the elements and follow me” Celestia said, levitating the elements of harmony in front of the respective mare. Just as they finished putting on their elements, Celestia turned to the same pony that informed her of the new discovery. “Please, my little pony, would you lead us to the place you said the glyph was found?” Celestia asked with a motherly tone “Y-Yes, this way please” The pony said as he exited the room, being followed by the princess of the sun and the element of harmony “Why would the princess have the elements here?” Whispered Rainbow Dash to Twilight “Maybe she was expecting trouble with something unknown, or maybe just because we were going to be here” Twilight whispered back After some good 7 minutes of walking, Rarity finally started to complain, something that she didn’t do since they arrived “*whimper* the sun is too hot, and the san is ruining my hoofcure, not to be impatient, but are we there yet?” Rarity asked to the pony that was leading them “Actually , we are almost-” The pony was interrupted by an annoyed Rainbow Dash “Can’t you just endure some 5 minutes of walking?” She said, while still walking “Well, aside from you” Said Rarity adjusting her sun glasses “ I have an appearance to look over, not like you” “What is that supposed to mean?!” Asked the now angry Rainbow Dash turning her head to Rarity “Well what that is supposed to mean is-” Suddenly the innocent question from Rarity transformed into an argument Nopony but Celestia, the guide pony and Fluttershy noticed that they arrived to the temporal archeologist camp “Um Girls, we already- uh the princess and the pony are waiting and oh-” Said Fluttershy, when Celestia just coughed and then the argumentation finished, all of the mares looking at Celestia “If you girls are done arguing with each other” She said moving aside, revealing the camp full of archeologist moving around “we arrived” Then, Celestia and all of the ponies but Fluttershy started to walk towards the camp, murmuring things between them Fluttershy just whimpered like a puppy and soon she followed her friend and the Princess looking at the sandy ground “There it is” the pony said pointing at the center of the camp, revealing a much larger version of the glyph that they saw with Celestia, but this one was written on a strange metal Celestia looked at the pony and soon asked “Would you tell us what is that material the symbol is written in?” “About that Princess,” Said the pony “Nopony knows, and when we tried to collect a sample of the material, nothing can affect it not even magic” “Haven’t you tried with tools?” Asked Twilight “Yes we tried, but each time we tried to do it, soon or later the tool would break, including the diamond ones” Said the pony a little bit ashamed that he and his team couldn’t get a sample of the new material “So are you trying to say, is that this thing” Twilight said as she approached the glyph, or more specifically the metal it was drawn in “Is physically stronger than magic, and the strongest mineral ponykind knows of?” “Yes, but for some reason, it reacts to magic” Said the pony “Define react please” Said the Princess “We don’t know what it does, but each time a unicorn tries to use magic near it, it starts to glow blue, and it doesn’t go off until the unicorn either gets away enough, or it stops to use magic” “Mmmm interesting” Twilight hummed “I wonder if I…” Twilight said to herself while laying a hoof on the glyph Then, the glyph started to glow an intense light blue, after 3 seconds the light went off, and all of the rocks around the camp started to levitate “Whats happening?!” Fluttershy said, obviously scared “Is someone using magic on those rocks?” “No, there isn’t any magical aura around them!” Twilight answered, a little bit confused, since this rocks were floating on their own “Well, what is-” Applejack tried to say before all the rocks fell on the ground A few seconds later, the ground started to shake violently, catching all the ponies off guard, making most of them fell to the ground, and a massive hole formed up a few feet away the camp “WHATS HAPPENING!” Fluttershy screamed, at the edge of crying “I DON’T KNOW!” Twilight answered, not that most of her friend could hear her because of the commotion After a couple of seconds the ground stopped to shake violently, but it was still shaking. And a massive curtain of sand started to rose up the ground, it kept on raising, until all the camp and more area was under its shadow, out of the sand, two objects with the look of wings started to get out of the falling sand, after another seconds all the sand was gone, revealing a gargantuan being that could even possibly match a dragon and win. Its wings made him look even bigger, including the feather like objects that were somewhat always suspended at the same distance from the wings, and it had 2 slanted yellow glowing eyes And when everypony thought that they saw all of that thing, many small creatures with a glowing eye and 3 like appendages started to fly around the creature You didn’t needed to be a genius to know that this being was not from this world Before anyone could say something the creature sent a magnetic pulse, pushing everything around it , and making many tents fly away “P-Princess W-What is that thing?” The astonished Twilight tried to ask Before the speechless princess could say ‘I don’t know’ a guard commanded “Attack that thing, don’t let it harm the Princess o the elements!” Suddenly all the guards on the area started to shoot either crossbows or magic bolts at the gargantuan creature, only to be either absorbed or deflected by some kind of invisible shield “Princess, you have to get out of here or that-” The guard got interrupted as a rookie shouted “I hit one of the little things!” He screamed in joy, as a charge magic bolt hit a sentinel, it wasn’t enough to destroy it but enough to reveal its inner system Suddenly all of the sentinels stopped and turned to see the pony that shot their fellow Artificial Intelligence, one of the sentinels rushed over to repair the damage done, as the gargantuan beast lowered its head to see the responsible of shooting one of his friends Yep, you didn’t have to be a genius to know that this creature was pissed. Author's Note Welp, here i go, this is my first try to do a crossover, actually, this is my first story at the moment, hope that it is enough for most of you, and since Im new in this whole writting stuff, maybe someone of you would be willing to help me :)
Chapter 2: Confusion5 years ago 262,144 light years from the galactic center Installation 00 Relief Something that Medicant Bias hadn't felt for milenias, since his voluntary rampancy and defeat to another AI. 100,000 years ago, he became rampant, he turned to his masters and allied with the flood, causing billions and billions of deaths of Forerunners. And those 100,000 years ago there wasn't a single thing to do, but think, think about his acts, and the consequences and damage he had done. Fortunatly, his masters came up with a plan to fight him with another AI, altough it lacked of his creativity and experience, this one significantly more lethal than him, because of his rampancy, he didnt thought of facing another AI during his new war. Finally, the Halo arrays were finished, and activated, purging all of the flood and all living things in the galaxy, with the exception of the catalogized species on the forerunner dreadnoughts of course. Offensive Bias broke his Compound Mind and scattered around them, only one piece of him made it to the ark, and other was lost on a forerunner key ship that was later lost, but then found by the Covenant. The Covenant was a collection of alien species, that looked upon the Forerunners as gods. This confused Madicant Bias, even though he looked at them as masters, and they could exceed the milenias of age, he knew that they werent Transsentient beigns, unlike the Precursors. When the Covenant found him, they attached him to some kind of citdel, and they would keep on asking him about the Forerunners and their technology, or as they called it "Holy Relics". They had a wrong termination of the ascendecy, calling it Reclamation, but infact it was Reclaimer, for only one individual, could lead an entire race to The Mantle. In 2525, he was "consulted", or rather interrogated by two San 'Shyuum, about the number of "Holy Relics" that could be on harvest, a planet habitated by humans. He revealed that infact, the Relics, were the Humans, and that all of their faith was based on an old mistranslation, and all of this information could harm in a way all of wath the covenant belived in, and for some reason, they started to attack the humans. After some time, he informed the Covenant that he had intetions to bring the Reclaimers to the ark, he attempted to leave High Charity by launching the Forerunner ship, however, the launch was delayed as another construct, a human one to be precise, however he managed to launch the ship after the fight, leaving the covenant citael, wich left very damaged the same. But instead of reaching his true destiny, he was disconected by some Lekgolo, which made the ship crash on eart, wich made Mendicant Bias be carried through the Voi portal, to Installation 00, where the missing shard was finally reunited with the part that resided in the Ark's systems. Present Day 262,144 light years from the galactic center Heavily Damaged Installation 00 And now, he was alone. The Reclaimer managed to activate the Installation 00 and escape in time, but leaving the Installation heavily damaged. Being an Artificial Construct, he could translate himself on the Ark's system, but because of the current state on the installation, he couldn't do much, he needed a Forerunner sentinel or artifact, so he could translate himself physically and start the repairs. Fortunatly for him, there was an obsolete war sphenix near his current position, near enough for him to translate himself inside of it, Ignoring the fact that the suit itself was right beofre a Forerunner Portal Unfortunately for him, it was several feet buried on the sand for some reason. Before he risked himself, he tried to do a full scan of the combat suit, even though it was obsolete,and it was outdated by the Seekers, it was still a very powerful weapon, capable of sweeping continents and decimating entire cities. The scan showed that its main weaponry consisted of hard light blades, capability of fly, and a powerfull beam ,similar to an onyx sentile's, that could cut and/or desintegrate foes that could be bigger than the combat suit itself. But what he saw next, left him confused. Around the War Spehinx there were around 5 conventional Sentinels and 3 Constructors, but for some reason, between it's wings there was an Onyx Sentinel, wich caught him offguard, by the fact that the Onyx Sentinels were only found at the Onyx Shield world. After runing several scans on the suit's current status, he confirmed that he should be able to be transferred to the suit without any problem. Once that he was fully uploaded on the suits memory, just before he could start the combat suit, he started to read some kind of anomalies, right by the side of the War sphinix and the sentinels. After that, all that he saw was blinding brightness. Present Day Unknown location Forerunner Artificial Planet Now he was looking at some kind of equine. Some minutes ago, he was in Installation-00, but just after he uploaded himself on the Combat Suit memory, for some reason, he was on another Forerunner Planet. But this wasn't a conventional planet, it wasn't a shield world, maybe it was terraformed, and everything else is artificial. And after he just came out of the depths of the sand, for some reason they started attacking him, damaging one of his sentinels. Didn't this species know that attacking a Forerunner or his Artifacts were a grave offense?. Of course they don't, after the Halo arrays were activated, everything alive in the galaxy was annihilated and then repopulated. But still, even if he had the same ideals that his long gone masters had, they had to be taught to not mess with the Forerunners. He proceeded to grab the guard that attacked his sentinel with somekind of telekinetic beam, bringing him to what was supposed his eye level. He thought that the energy that he was beign shot with was plasma, and if this race was advanced enough to manipulate plasma, even though the repopulation of the galaxy, they had to have some forerunner artifacts around, so they could advance to the technological level they have in this moment. After that he tried to communicate with the guard, trying to investigate why they were attacking him, suddenly a yellow bolt was shot at the head of the sphinix, and then some kind of energy tried to pull the guard out of his grasp, it wasnt strong enough to do so, but he decied to give up on the guard, and let the mysterious force drag him to the sand. And before he could even introduce himself (or even ask why they were being so hostile), so he could inform them of the damage that they had done, he was abruptly interrupted, again, by a tall equine with wings and some kind of horn in its head that shouted something in perfect Jagon "Girls, get the elements!" It shouted, somewhat female by its tone Six of the equines ran into some kind of formation, and before he could ask what they were doing, the artifacts they were weraing started to bright, issuing a very familiar energy. After that, he ordered all of his sentinels to move out of the way, for he couldn't know what would happen, and if someday he may need repairs. The 6 equines shooted some kind of bright light, hitting him in the sphinix's chest. After a couple of seconds of absorbing what he thought was a "plasma beam", the dust that had been raised by the plasma energy dissipated quiclky, he saw the withe equine's smile of confidence dissapear on one of confusion and fear. Behind of those mineral conglomerations that the 6 equines had been using, Bias identified Forerunner artifacts, powerfull ones, almost powerfull enough to get his shields down, ALMOST. He speaked, this time without interruptions "My name is 05-032 Mendicant Bias, I am an artificial construct created by the Forerunners He said in a deep and a little bit distorted voice After that there was only silence, the only sound that could be heared was the wind and the sand being blown by it. After a few minutes of entire silence the forerunner ancilla was getting a little bit annoyed. He had patience but still, he needed answers and he needed them now. After that he figured that he needed to motivate them to interact with him. And to achive that he needed either contact their leader... or try a more, harsh approach. After a few seconds the tall and white equine took a step forward, and yet again, said something in perfect Jagon. "Who are you?" She said Medicant Bias was not amused, he already introduced himself, giving them his name, and function. "As I already said my name is 05-032 Mendicant Bias, and Im a forer- " Medicant Bias said before being interrupted. "No, I mean WHAT are you?" The equine said taking another step forward. "You look like a dragon, but at the same time you dont, and Im sure that I've never seen your species before..." She said. After a quick scan on the white equine and the others behind it, it seemed that these being was genetically more advanced than the other ones (With exception of the purple one). "What is your name?" Said Medicant Bias turning his head towards Celestia "You seem to be Biologically more advanced than the rest of these equines, with exception of the purple one" Celestia just smiled at this and proceeded to introduce herself. "Well I'm-..." Celestia was cut off as Rainbow Dash flew infront of Medicant Bias "Who in Tartarus do you think you are?!" She said while hoovering in front of his face "She is Celestia, the ruler of equestria, so you better start showing some respect" Rainbow said with a face of annoyance "Rainbow!" Shouted Twilight trying to make her friend understand that it wasn't wise to annoy whatever this creature was. Medicant Bias turned his head once again towards Celestia. "So you are the ruler of this world?" He asked "Well, not from this world, but my sister, Twilight and I rule this nation" Celestia said If she wasn't the ruler of the whole world, then that would possibly mean that there are more sentient species besides these equines, species that have their own rulers, this could be possibly a problem for him to get off this planet, since this meant that most of the species haven't resolved their differences, and could possibly mean that some of them were in search of a source of power to impose their empire or kingdom to others, and they may even see him as that source of power. Once again he turned to the forerunner glyph on the ground. "The Base glyph, have you found something else like that?" He asked, his voice echoing on the desert. "Actually he haven't-..." Celestia was cut off by Twilight "So you know what that thing is?" She asked, her hoofs clanking against the cold metal the glyph was written in "What does it mean?, Who did it?, Why does it glow when-..." Twilight's questions were cut off by Celestia "Twilight!" Celestia shouted "You know what said about bombarding strange ponies with questions" Twilight blushed with a small smile at this "I'm sorry" "No harm done, your curiosity is understandable, like yours Celestia." He said turning his massive head towards Celestia "Wait, how did you-" Celestia asked in confusion "Since the plasma beam that the six equines shot at me, and you saw how I was unfazed by it your heartbeat accelerated and you have been thinking if I may be a threat, since Im talking with you right now" He said "H-How did you knew that?" She asked "It was my job to think like my enemy" he said, taking his gaze to the sun on the sky, remembering the twist that his campaign against the flood suffered. Twilight, the mane six and even Celestia were confused, first this "thing" came out of the sand, the guards attacked him and then he casted some kind of magic on a guard, Twilight and the girls even used the elements of harmony, the artifacts that remorfed Nightmare Moon and turned Discord into stone, and this so called "Medicant Bias" didn't even flinched when the elements were used on him. Finally Celestia spoke. "Um, Medicant Bias?" She said, trying to get his attention "Yes?" he asked lowering his head towards Celestia "Well, it's almost night time, and it gets pretty cold on the outside, so..." She said taking a deep breath, and giving her idea a seconf thought. "*sigh* I was wondering if we could continue this conversation on my castle" As soon as Celestia finished her sentence, the whole camp was filled with gasps and murmurs. "WHAT?!" Rainbow asked in disbilief and anger "Princess, with all due respect, ARE YOU CRAZY?!" She said, not caring about what consequences that sentence could bring to her. Rarity gasped and fainted, Fluttershy hid behind her mane thinking that Rainbow Dash would be banished, Twilight and Apple Jack started shouted something about the possible consequences that this could bring to her and maybe them, and Pinkie Pie tried her best to not to laugh. "I mean I'm sorry but you can't be thinking about bringing that thing-" She said pointing at the war sphinx. "To Canterlot!, I mean..." "Rainbow Dash,-" Celestia cut her off "Don't you trust my decisions?" she asked "No I do but..." Rainbow triend to justify her sudden outburst but Apple Jack cut her off "Com'n sugar cube, just come back here before you do somethin' stupid... again" Apple Jack chuckled. "*Grr", Okay" Rainbow Dash groaned, as she gave Medicant Bias one last death glare. Once that she was back with the girls Pinkie giggled. "*snort* with all due respect" She whispered. "Agh, Shut up" She said lowering her head realising what she just said before. Celestia just stared at the girls with a small smile and then turned to Medicant Bias once again. "My apologizes for Rainbow's sudden, outburst..." She apologized with a small hint of embarrassment. "No harm done young one, her suspicion toward me is understandable to..." Medicant Bias said Suddenly the mantle of tension and/or fear that covered the camp, turned in laughter or giggles, because the creature just called Celestia young one. Pinkie was rolling on the floor laughing, Rarity for some reason fainted once again, Rainbow Dash was even more angry because of this creature's ignorance, Twilight was writing all the conversation between Medicant Bias and Celestia, and Celestia was blushing with a faint smile. Medicant Bias was confused, as soon as he finished his sentence, everyone started to laugh, probably at him. "Was it something I said?" He asked, trying to understand the sudden outburst of laughter in the camp. Rainbow Was even more angry and frustrated by this, and another out burst came out of her. "Because she is over 1000 years old you Dumb-Bell!" She declared "RAINBOW!" All of the mane six (but Fluttershy) shouted at her. "What?, its true." She said with a dead panned face. After a couple of seconds of silence with exception of the giggles and the murmurs Celestia finally spoke. "You are aware time right?" Celestia asked "Yes, second are conformed by milisenconds, minutes by seconds, hours by minutes, days by-" Celestia interjected. "Okay I get it, are you aware of your own age?" She asked "In a way, yes" Medicant Bias answered Celestia smiled as she took one step forward. "If it isn't rude to ask, would you mind if I ask you how old are you?" She asked with curiosity. Medicant Bias started to search in his archives, the thruth is that if it wasn't because every second of his life was being stored in his memory he wouldn't know his own age, for he had more important business to attend, like fighting the flood. "Well...?" Celestia asked, eager to know his answer "Ughh, my head, what happend girls?" Rarity asked as she regained her conscience. "If im correct I was created around 100,000 years old" Medicant Bias revealed Celstia was caught off ward because of this, her pupils shrank at this, whatever this creature was, it claimed to be older than her, and older than her parents maybe. Once again the whole camp's ambient changed, all the ponies gasped and started to murmur that either this so called Medicant Bias was either an ancestral creature or a liar. "Oh no you won't!"Twilight said just before Rarity could faint again and then she shot a spell to her body. Celestia was deep in her thoughts, she had a big problem in her hooves, this creature already showed that it was powerfull enough to endure the elements of harmony without flinching, that meant that if any of the other world leaders found out about him, they wouldn't think two times of making him their ally to secure a great power source that could maybe enslave the whole world. "Medicant Bias" Celestia talked to him. Once that he turned his attetion to her she continued. "I think that we should continue this conversation on a more private enviroment" She said. "Are you inquiring that we should continue our conversation at the so called pace "Canterlot"?" He asked? Celestia just smiled at this, this creature was very intelligent and assertive, something that would make this easier. "Yes, if there isn't any inconvenient with you ofcourse" She said, praying to her fathers that he would accept. "Lead the way then young one." Medicant Bias said, making Celestia have a sigh of relief. "Okay, I'll bring some chariots, bur for now i have to figure out how im going to transport you..." She said placing a hoof under her chin. Suddenly the ground started to shake once again, making some of the ponies run around in panic, some of them thinking that it was an earthquake, and others thinking the possibility of a second creature. Then Medicant Bias started to lift off the ground, revealing his tail, and two massive legs. After a couple of seconds the war sphinix was fully covering the sun, making a gargantuan shadow on what was left of the camp, and he was once again being surrounded by the smaller flying machines. "HE CAN FLY NOW?! GRAH, THIS IS COW-FILTH!" Rainbow swore "Rainbow! watch your lenguange!" AppleJack shouted. Celestia only sighed and she ordered a nearby pegasus guard to bring a couple of chariots with destination to Canterlot. 'At least this is more interesting than the night court' She thought. Author's Note Sorry if this isn't as exciting as the first, this usually happens to me in the second chapter of everything that I have written Jagon is the native lenguange of the forerunners :) in the part of "Well, not from this world, but my sister, Twilight and me rule this nation" i got confused :S If someone is willing to help me being a proof-reader or an editor, I would appreciate it...
Chapter 3: The Show offPresent Day Sarabia desert Pony Calender July(?) 1687 'This is going to be a very long day' Celestia thought. First the so called Medicant Bias came out of the dephts of the sand, and threatened one of the guards that attacked one of his smaller friends, and now she invited THAT thing to not only her castle, but to a heavy populated city of Equestria, she was wondering if she did the correct decision. "Your highness," Said a guard as it bowed towards her "the chariots are in their way towards our position and will arrive shortly". "*Sigh* Thank you my little pony, you are dismissed" She said turning her head back towards the massive war machine. Since it fully came out of the ground, it revealed that it had not only a long tail, but it had two appendages, obviously being legs. And now it was just standing there in an odd crouching position and with its wings folded in his back. Many ponies searched various excuses to try get past the guards that were between Medicant Bias and them, saying that they forgot they tools back there, or some sort of family amulet was in the ground back there, the guards did not care if it was true or lies, but it seemed that the smaller creatures that came with Medicant Bias knew what pony was either saying the truth because of their body lenguage and the involuntary beta waves their brain were transmitting. "Please!, I dont care about that metal bird, the only thing I want is to search for my mother's necklace!" A light brown pony said to a guard, trying to convince him to let him search his lost amulet. The guard didn't even flinched at this, but a nearby sentinel heard this "Please, I beg of you is the only thing I have of her left, look you can even look for it for me, it is a necklace with a brown thread and it has a round amethyst" He tried a second time. "Im really sorry, but this area is off limits for civilians, it's for your own good" He stated, not even turning his head to watch the desperate equine. Now that the sentinel had a description of the object, it could look for it, it moved various tool boxes and scanned the sand with some kind of light blue flashlight. After a couple of minutes the light was finally reflected by some kind of material, once the sentinel grabed it with a green-yellow beam, making it levitate like if an unicorn was using magic on it. Just before the stallion give up as lost his now deceased mother's amulet, the merciful sentinel hoovered in front of him, placing the necklace between it's eye and the ponie's face. The nameless stallion was at the edge of crying, his pupils dilated as he saw the amulet that he almost gave up as lost, flash-backs of him as a colt and his mother came back to his memory as he slowly took the necklace in his shaking hoof. But it didn't took too much time until the guard next to the stallion noticed the blue light in his face and the reflection of a flying oval shaped machine in his watery eyes. The guard reacted to this immediatly and spun around, placing his spear infront of the sentiel. "Get back there!" Said the guard, trying to not bring back the memories of the gargantuan being levitating his fellow soldier "You nor your friends can't leave this area until the princess says otherwise!". 'Wait, he was helping me' Tried to say the stallion just to find that his voice was being blocked by a knot on his throat, caused most likely because of the adrenaline of seeing his lost amulet again. The sentinel just looked to the tip of the spear and back to the necklace's, owner emitting a low peep, trying to say to the pony 'You're welcome' "Well?, am I going to have to force you to go back there?" Threatened the guard. The sentinel just looked at the spear again, fully aware that such primitive weapon couldn't harm him, then it turned around, and floated back towards the war sphinx. "I don't trust these Celestiadamned things..." The guard muttered under its breath. The stallion just stood there, watching as the small, flying being hoovered towards it's friends, something deep down in his mind was telling him that these things were here to help. Celestia watched the whole thing, with peeled eyes and an agape mouth. One of the smaller beings just helped one of his subjects after hearing the desperation in his voice, and once in had enough information it started to search for it, and once it found it, it didn't keep it to make further studies or something like that, in the moment it found it, the small hoovering creature turned in the necklace to its owner, and even though it was threatened by one of the guard, it didnt reacted in a violent way for being treated like that after doing a good deed, it just turned around and returned back to its business. The more time she tried to learn more and find answers about Medicant Bias, even more questions popped out of nowhere. 'Your highness A guard's voice said, just to be drowned by Celestia's thoughts Was this creature really here to help?, to do good deed without waiting for something in return?. 'Your highness' The guard's voice was a little bit louder. Or was all of this just a facade?, could Medicant Bias be a spy or someone that wishes to bring harm to her kingdom and it's just playing along?, there was no way to be certain about this... "YOUR HIGHNESS!" Shouted the guard, this time snapping Celestia from her deep thoughts. Celestia turned her head around to see the guard with his face red with a hoof on his mouth realising what he had just done. "Yes guard?" She asked the guard, curious what news were with him. "Hmphmmm" He said oblivious by the fact that he still had the hoof covering his mouth. "What now?" She asked trying to understand what the guard was trying to say. The guard was going to repeat, but he suddenly realised that his hoof was covering his entire mouth, quickly getting it out of the way leaving a slight blush on his face. "Hehe, Im sorry your Highness, what I was trying to say is that the chariots have already arrived, and the Elements have already been escorted inside them." The guard informed. "Thank you very much my little pony, you are dismissed" Celestia dismissed the guard. Celestia sighed, now she needed to think of a way to transport the creature with her without causing havoc at the city. Celestia carefully walked towards the crouchind Medicant Bias, curious of what he was doing. Once that she got close enough, she tried to communicate with him, inform him that it was time to leave. "Uhmmm, excuse me?... Medicant Bias?" She said hoping to get his attention. The war sphinx got up from it's crouching stance, getting back up to his full height and looked towards Celestia. "Is it time for us to depart?" He asked, knowing the answer. "Yes, but something was troubling my mind" She said with a sigh. "May I ask why?" He asked curious about the thoughts that occupied the equine's mind. "Look, my subjects are a little bit, delicate...-" She said looking back at a crowd of ponies not very far away from here. "And you should know that we are going to head towards a very populated area." Medicant Bias was hearing and archivating every single word that came out of the equine's mouth. "What I am trying to say, is that they may, get scared to see a creature like you getting close to their home, so I was wondering... I was wondering if you had an idea to make you look less menacing or big" Celestia revealed her idea to him. Medicant Bias was confused, he was here to help, to try to show his masters that he has changed, why should these equines be scared of him if he had no intentions to harm them?, but then again there were several psychological factors that could influence in this, and many living beings could feel threatened or scared when a more powerfull or bigger being than them made a harsh approach towards them. But after all Celestia knew her species better than him so he decided to morph into a less threatening appearance. "I think that I may able to do something" Medicant Bias said as he commenced the morphing operation. Many of his parts started to bend and magnetize with others, filling the air with sounds of metal clanking, hardlight being hitten and electricity magnetizing parts with others. After a couple of seconds the gargantuan being dissapeared and was replaced with a smaller being in comparison, but still exceeding Celestia's height and horn by a couple Inches The creature was tall, but even though it was made of metal, it displayed muscles in all of the body, informing that the being was of male origin, it had four large appendages, two in its upper body both of them had one claw each with five digits, and the other two on his lower half, obviously being arms and legs, but the more interesting part was its face it had no face features, no eyes, no mouth, no nose, it didnt have anything, the only thing it had where the two weird looking antenna like objects at the sides of his head looking like some kind of ears, and six blue dots in his face, making him look like some kind of insect with more than two eyes. "Is this form better?" Medicant Bias said with a now different voice, it was lower and definitly more gentle, but it was still firm and deep enough to identify him as a male "H-How d-did you changed so..." Celestia tried to say. "How did I changed from my previous form to this one?" Medicant Bias guessed. "Yes, you were massive, and in a matter of seconds you shrinked and changed your size and form, what kind of magic does that?" Celestia said stupefied. Magic? Medicant Bias was confused, he hadn't heard of that word for milenias, magic was a thing that was told to the forerunner children that was something similar to the forerunner's ability, not the same but similar, that did not rely on technology but in miracles, it was all a fairy tale back then. "My abilities do not rely on magic Celestia, they are supported by only technology, actually Im technology myself" Medicant Bias tried to explain to the equine. "Technology?" Blurted Celestia in disbilief "how do you want me to belive that all of what you've done is technology?" "Everything is going to be explained Celestia, but for now I think that we have to leave" Said Medicant Bias. Celestia sighed and looked at the sky, he was right, they had to search a place more appropiate for this converstaion. "You are right, come on, our transport has arrived" Celestia guided Medicant Bias towards the chariots There were two colored chariots, both of them had a turquoise color with yellow and blue ribbons, and each one had two pegasus attached to them, wich was ironic from Medicant Bias' point of view, but still, he made no comments about that for it could've been offensive for them. "You are coming with me Bias, ours is the one at the front" Celestia said as she got up on the chariot. Medicant Bias was inspecting the curious vehicle, unsure if he should get on it or not. "Well? what are you waiting for?, get in" Celestia said with a smile in her face. "I don't have any intentions to insult your species ability to manufacture vehicles, but is it going to bear my weight?" Medicant Bias questioned. "Oh don't worry it has been reinforced with magic and other materials, it bears my weight after all" Celestia tried to joke to enlighten up the mood, not that Medicant Bias didn't have sense of humor, Forerunner AIs had sense of humor, when two or more AIs encountered they would exchange informations and rarely they would make a joke, mostly about the flood, and if it was rare to hear a joke coming from them it was even more rare to hear them laugh or giggle. Medicant Bias trusted on Celestia so he placed a foot on an iron step feeling how there was some kind of energy shield around the vehicle, after he got inside, he saw that even though there was an energy barrier on the vehicle, the iron steps bended because of his weight, Celestia noticing this. "Uh, that is interesting, you must wear a ton *giggle*" Celestia giggled. That was actually true even though he had shrinked his size he was still very heavy, 5.6 tons actually. "Well I think that we can leave now" Celestia said as she grabbed the door handle with her magic. "Wait! princess Celestia!" Shouted Twilight "*sigh* Twilight Luna and I already told you that there is no need to call us princesses anymore" Said Celestia in a calm voice. "Hehe, Im sorry" Twilight said with a small smile and blusing looking to the left corner of her eyes. "But prin- I mean Celestia, I went to look for the creature to tell it that we are going to leave, but I didn't found it, the little ones aren't there either" Twilight said oblivious of the fact that the sentinels were floating above the chariot and that Medicant Bias was inside the chariot too. Soon enough Twilight noticed the oddly shaped irion step of the chariot. "Uh? why is this bended this way, aren't they supposed to be like reinforced with magic?" Twilight questioned. "Ahem." Medicant Bias cleared his throat to get Twilight attention, wich worked. "What is that thing?!" Twilight asked in disbilief, was this another creature that came out of the sands too?. "Twilight that is Medicant Bias, the creature that we encountered a while ago..." Said Celestia. "No, really Celestia where is he?" Twilight said with an unamused look. "She already told you, I'm right here." Medicant Bias said with a more gentle and formal voice. "Wait-who-where?" Twilight tried to analyze what happend, the creature that came out of the ground was massive, and they were telling her that he transformed to this size?. "Just get in Twilight, we'll explain it to you in the way back to Canterlot" Celestia said, not wanting to waste more time in the desert, it wasn't healty for her delicate fur after all. As soon as Twilight got in, Celestia shuted the door, and gave two taps on the wall, informing the guards that it was time to depart, and a couple of seconds after that, the chariots started the flight back to Canterlot, with different types of sentinels following close, with active camouflage of course. Present Day Above an occupied Dragon's nest / Near Equestria borders. Pony Calender July(?) 1687 "So you can morph into anything you want?" Asked Twilight in dibilief "Not anything I want, but I can change my form from the war sphinx to this one" Said Medicant Bias. "War Spinx? is that the form in what we found you?" Asked Celestia curious about its name. "Actually I'm still in the war sphinx but I changed it's form to this one" Said Medicant Bias looking through the window. "What are those creatures?" Medicant Bias asked as he looked towards the dragons inside a pool of lava. Twilight and Celestia leaned towards the window, to see what creature he was talking about, to see the Dragons either sleeping or taking a bath of lava. "Those are dragons, they are reptilians that can breath fire and they are very powerfull and dangerous too" Said Celestia remembering her last experience with one of them. "Uh, that is interesting, and tell me, is this vehicle safe?" Asked Medicant Bias without taking his gaze off the window. "Why would you ask that?" Celestia asked. "Because we may be attacked by one of those beings, my readings say that the males have very large amounts of testosterone, wich may cause them to get territorial with their home." Medicant Bias pointed out. "You don't have to worry about anything, the dragons know better than messing with the princesses" Said Twilight placing a hoof on her chest. Suddenly the whole chariot shaked like if it was being hit by a big boulder, and the left corner of the chariot started to burn in flames. Celestia then talked through a hole on her side of the chariot to the pegasi that were flying. "What happend?!" She asked in concern and fear. "We were hit by a ball of fire your highness-" The guard was interrupted by another hit sound and a flush "the element's chariot was hit too!". "We need to land fast!" said the second guard. "Oh Celestia we are going to die!" Shouted Twilight. Medicant Bias was running several simulations and test, and by the results, if he didn't intervene, these ponies would have less than 46.82% chances to survive the crash, he commanded his sentinels to use their beams to ease the chariots' harsh land, while he positioned himself in a way he wouldn't squat by accident these ponies under his weight. "Get hold to something back there princesses, we are going to land!" Shouted a pegasus, without them knowing that the sentinels were trying to help to ease the landing. *THUD* The chariots landed. "U-uh?, we are not dead?" Asked Twilight as she let go of the pole she was embracing. "We need to get out of this vehicle " Medicant Bias said as he tried to open the door, but found that it was stuck. "Is it jammed?, we need to get out of here and help my friends!" Exclaimed Twilight After Medicant Bias found that it was useless to pull the door softly, he violently janked the door, separating it from the rest of the chariot. "Get your friends out of that vehicle, I will help the pilots" Medicant Bias said referring to the pegasi. Once that he got infront of the chariot, he found that one of the pegasi was unconscious, and the other had one of his wings bended in an odd way and with a long cut on his flank. He broke the restrains that pulled the chariot and he dragged them back on a spot without ashes. Then he heard how the princesses were stuggling to open the reinforced iron door of their friends, obviously being stuck. "Twilight please get us out of here!" Cried Fluttershy. "I'm trying! but It's stuck and I can't open it with magic without blasting it!" Twilight cried back. Medicant Bias walked towards the chariot full of ponies and got Twilight out of the way. "Please, clear the door so I can open it up" He warned. Then a blue translucent sword came out of his guantlet, heat and little blue particles coming out of it. "And who the hell are you- *EEP*!" Rainbow Dash responded, before a blue shiny sword cut through the iron sword like butter, making a vertical cut. After he got the hardlight sword out and he deactivated it he placed his hands in the cut, pulling both of the sides with tremendous strength making a hole, light filtered through it showing their savior. As the ponies got out one by one Medicant Bias pulled free the other two guards, both of them unconscious, and then dragged them near the other guards. He called a couple of his sentinels out of the camouflage to use their healing beams on the guards. "Who or what in tarnation is that?" Applejack asked as she dusted her hat "That is the creature that we found at the desert AppleJack, he is Medicant Bias..." Said Twilight. "WHAT?!" All of the girls shouted at unison. "But Twilight, that thing was giant! how in Tartarus did he changed his for to that?!" Rainbow Dash asked as she pointed to Medicant Bias that was crounching near a guard and two of the flying machines near him shooting some kind of green beam. "By the way what is he doin'?" Asked AppleJack. "I dont know, maybe he is checking on them, I dont know" Said Twilight shaking her head. As the Elements were arguing with each other and Celestia was trying to calm them down, Fluttershy walked towards Medicant Bias and the injured pegasi. "E-excuse me sir" Fluttershy stuttered in a very low voice, making it almost impossible for the average pony to hear, but Medicant Bias could hear her very well. "Uh?" Medicant Bias turned his head to look at the source of the voice "What's the matter little one?" He asked "W-w-what are you and y-your friends doing?" She asked noticing that the green beams from the sentinels were healing the pegasi wounds and bruises. "They are using a healing beam on their injuries to disinfect and accelerate the healing proccess on their bodies" He said, making Fluttershy interested in these "healing beams". "Oh, and how they work?, I mean if you don't mind me asking" She asked in curiosity. "Well, the green lights you see are gamma and beta no-hazardous radiations that accelerate the patient cells to optimize the healing rate and rejuvenates the same cells" He tried to explain in the more simple way possible, for he knew these equines couldn't fully understand the concept of these healing beams. "Oh, you know my special talent is to help animals" Fluttershy said with a smile. "Then your role in this society is to watch over the injured wild animals?" He asked. "Well, not only injured animals, I help every single animal I can, even if they are carnivores or fishes or rats it doesn't matter and I help other ponies when I'm able to". Fluttershy said with pride and joy. Somehow this little yellow equine held a belief similar to the mantle's, that every single living being had the right to live and to be helped, it doesn't matter if it was big or small, the mantle shelters all. "Well, thats-" Medicant Bias said before looking to the horizon. An average pony wouldn't be able to see, but there were three figures that were approaching this place, by their movement it could be said that they were running or sprinting, but the matter is that they were coming this way. "Is something wrong mister?" Asked Fluttershy in concern as he got up from his crouching position. "Something is coming this way, go and warn your fellow ponies..." He said without taking his gaze away of the horizon. "O-oh my" Flutter shy said as she ran towards her friends. Before anything could happen he turned back to the injured, and placed an energy shield around them and the sentinels that were healing them then he walked a few steps forward. "Medicant Bias, what happend, Fluttershy said something is happening" Said Celestia with concern. By this time the ponies could see three shadows on the horizon, but Medicant Bias could see who they were, they were three medium sized reptiles two of them red and one blue all of them had wings and big jaws. "Their look match to what you call 'Dragons' and three of them are coming this way, presumably they were the ones that attacked your vehicles" Medicant Bias said. "Well, this jerks better be prepared for a piece of the 'RAINBOW DASH'!" Rainbow Dash referred to herself in third preson as she hovered in the air throwing a few boxing punches in the air "Rainbow Dash!, we can't fight those dragons, they are physically stronger than any pony!" Twilight said trying to knock some sense into her friend. "Plus a fight would get my mane dirty and they might even burn my tail and mane!" Said Rarity concerning more about her appearance than for her life After a couple of minutes of the ponies arguing again, Celestia was trying to warn the ponies that the drakes were already here with no success "AHEM" Said Medicant Bias in his previous deep and scary voice making all of the equines pay attention to the drakes that were a few feet from then. "Well, well, well lookie here guys we found ourselves some ponies and their care takers" Said the tall red one, reffering to the ponies and the princesses, ignoring Medicant Bias. "Oh how dare you-" Said Twilight before being interrupted by Medicant Bias. "I assume that you are the ones that attacked these equines vehicles right?" Asked Medicant Bias, completely sure that they were the responsibles for the crashing. "Uh? What if we are, who the hell are you even supposed to be, an armored Diamond Dog?" The possible leader of the other two drakes, making them laugh and snort. "My name is 05-032 Mendicant Bias, if it isn't trouble could I ask yours?" Medicant Bias asked. "Hmph, my name is tartarus falmes, Mr. Tartarus Flames for you" The drake said as it cleaned his theet with his claws, obviously the real "Mr.Tartarus" was his father. "So Medicament, are you the Princesses new pet? are you in charge of helping them releasing the stress?" He said lauging at the end, making some kind of wicked sexual joke. "THAT'S IT!" Yelled Rainbow as she flew with amazing speed towards the drake, wich reacted immediatly and grabbed her by the hind legs, subduing her by placing an arm around her neck. "Tsk, tsk, tsk you ponies should know better than that!" He said in a mocking tone. "Let go of her you brute!, Dont touch her meanie pants!, Drop her right now if you dont want' tha get bucked the next week!" all of the Elements shouted and the drake. "Let go of the equine if you don't want to face the consequences" Threatened Medicant Bias. All of the drakes laughed at his threat and the leader said. "Make me" "As you wish" Medicant Bias said as he moved with blinding speed and placed a hand on the drakes tongue, and before he even had time to react he sent a shock charge electrocuting his whole body, Rainbow didn't even feel the charge because of he fur acting as an insulating material. Once that the drake dropped Rainbow Dash, Medicant Bias let go of the drakes tounge, teleporting back towards the group and placing Rainbow down, "I had everything under control, I didn't need you help" Rainbow Dash muttered under her breath, then he got infront of the ponies once more. Once that the drake gained the control of his body again he yelled at the AI. "You think you are so tough?, let see if you are when you become a piece of coal!" The drake yelled as it took a deep breath and unleashed a torrent of flames towards him. "Bias!, Get out of the way!" Shouted Celestia as she casted a spell around her and the Elements, but he didn't even move, and she saw how the flames engulfed him. A couple of seconds after the drake ran our of breath, and had a face of confidence, searching for the molten metal and flesh of the creature that he just burned, but for his dismay the creature was just standing there, its armor not even red from the flames. "I will have to please ask you to leave if you dont want to face the consequences" Said Medicant Bias tried to avoid a battle that could end up bad... for them. The drake just gave a blood curling scream and charged towards the creature, slashing him with his claws with hopes to hurt him, but instead his claws broke. "I will give you a last chance leave, or face the consequences" Said Medicant Bias, the last sentence with a much darker tone. The drake just gave another scream and punched him in the face, something that wouldn't even harm him in any way, but the lizard made his decision. "As you wish" He said, then he sent a thunderous and swift punch of the strenght of three SPARTANs to the dakes jaw, something that sent him flying several feets again, it wasn't enough to kill him, but enough to leave him unconscious. The jaws of the two left dragons and the ponies hit the floor, this creature just defeated a drake with one punch in a matter of seconds, something that would take several minutes to a full squad of veteran guards. The two left drakes looked at each other and back to the creature and they let yelled a war cry and runned towards him, trying to advenge their leader, before they could even get close, Medicat Bias sent them flying backwards, just by the side of their fallen leader. "You don't have to end up like him, go away and you wont suffer the same fate as your leader" Said Medicant Bias. The drakes just picked the unconscious body of the other drake and one of them looked back at him. "This is not over yet" The drake said as they flew the way the came from. Once the drakes dissapeared out of sight all of the ponies but Celestia and Rainbow Dash congratulated him. "THAT WAS AWESOME!" They shouted, they couldn't believe what they saw after all, he just defeated a drake in a matter of seconds and he intimidated the rest like if it was nothing. "Thank you for helping me and my subjects Medicant Bias, if it wasn't for you I don't really know what would happend" Celestia said with a warm smile. "Rainbow isn't there something you want to say to him?" Said Twilight towards the grumpy Rainbow Dash. "Hmph, I could've handled it without your help but thanks I guess" She said looking away from him. "*sigh* Please forgive her, she just doesn't like to be helped" Twilight said to Medicant Bias. "But if I didn't intervene, there would've been strong probabilities that the drakes harmed you ponies" Explained Medicant Bias. "I know, its just her pride, deep inside her she is grateful, belive me" Twilight said with a smile "Well, now we have to figure out a way of how to get you ponies out of this place and-" Medicant Bias was cut off as an intense roar filled the air. *GROAAAR* Two massive dragons were flying towards Medicant's and the ponies direction. He quickly realized that he couldn't beat them fast enough in his current form so he changed to his previous war sphinx form making a giant shadow arount the ponies. Once that the two dragons, possibly males based off their fangs and reading of testosterone he was getting, landed the first one spoke. "Where is that insolent creature that attacked my son?!" He groared. "What are your business here?" Medicant Bias asked in a deeper voice. "So you where the little dweeb that dared to attack my son?!" Asked in rage the dragon. "My apologizes if I caused a serious damage, but those drakes were threatening these ponies, and I couldn't let them harm them." Medicant Bias stated. "Why are you apologizing?!" Asked Rainbow Dash in anger "those guys where jerks!" The dragon looked at the pony that insulted his children and looked her with yellow reptilian eyes full of rage. It let out a thunderous groar and charged to claim the blood of the pony that was stupid enough to open her mouth. Just before it got even near them, Medicant Bias sent a magnetic pulse that sent the dragon exactly back where he landed, it looked at the metal creature and he and his fellow reptilian stood in a combat stance ready to attack. Medicant Bias had to think of something, for these creatures wouldn't leave peacefully if he asked them to do so. What should Medicant Bias do? A)Pacify them: Use a special, passive beam that will work like a sedative for the dragons for a short amount of time, enough for him to get the ponies out of harm's way B)Eradicate them: Medicant Bias will have to use lethal force on these creatures to avoid them harming any innocent and defenseless creature C)Trick them: Medicant Bias has information that most primitive life beings are attracted to shiny objects, Medicant Bias will buy his freedom and the ponies in exchange of a hardlight sphere that will disappear within 24 hours Author's Note Yay nyu chapter, my apologizes to thisisastorymindyou for not sending him the chapter to pre-read it, for he was offline when i finished it, I will send you the next one dude :) P.S: If you are trying to make a Halo crossover, search for any halo full soundtrack video, and listen to it when you are writting it gives you a lot of inspiration :)
The Show off part 2You chose B)Eradicate them ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Equestria Borders Near an occupied dragon nest 05:30 P.M Medicant Bias made his choice, these creatures wouldn't leave peacefully if he asked them, and he couldn't let them harm these ponies, the mantle said that every single life form had the right to live, it said too that the forerunners always had to step in between the powerfull and the weak, the the hostile and the defenseless, in this case he had to protect these ponies, even if that means that he has to erradicate these dragons. The dragon let out a spine chilling roar and charged towards him, once that he was close enough, he tried to strike him with his spiked tail, but Medicant Bias flew up in the sky dodging it, and then he dove right in the center of the dragons chest, knocking the air out of his lungs and sending him a few feet away from the ponies. The green dragon just saw how his friend was stuggling to breath, and then he looked back at the war sphinx, it's eyes full of rage, it placed one of it claws in front of him and he placed another one behind him, like if it was placing some kind of lock or anchorage to avoid being blown away after releasing a huge amount of power. The dragon lowered his head to one side with its mouth shut, but it could be seen how a few flames came out of in between his fangs, and then unleashed an ocean of flames way more powerfull than the ones that the drake's breathed on him earlier, capable of engulfing him and the ponies. The ocean of flames engulfed him, and the ponies, wich were under a magical purple shield casted by Twilight and being supported by princess Celestia, and before the shield gave up because of the incredible heat of the flames, some kind of light yellow hexagonal shield appeared out of nowhere, the ponies looking around their group, with hopes to find a glowing horn, but instead they found an flying oval shaped creature that was casting the shield around them by firing some kind of yellow beam coming out of its eye. The ponies were in awe, how was this little being casting a magic shield without a horn, but more important, how was it casting a shield stronger than the princesse's and endure such heat?. Back outside of the flames engulfing Medicant Bias and the ponies, the injured dragon finally got his breath back, and joined his fellow reptilian in the shower of flames, making the already unbearable heat even more lethal if it wasn't hot enough already. Once that the dragons ran out of breath, the flames assaulting the ponies and the creature that attacked them became smaller and smaller with the time, until there was only a big and dense curtain of smoke and ashes, they were so dense that they couldn't see through them, they had to wait for them to dissipate. The dragons were already congratulating themselves, they didn't just obliterated a new strange creature, but they roasted two of the princesses of equestria!, they didn't have to search for other source of food now, or live scared because the princesses could suddnly make the sun never rise on their territory again, that could consequently make several dragons starve to death or making them freeze to death, now they were the dominant species in this country. But before the dragons could fly off towards the nest, they heard an electrical flickering sound. *TSS-SSSS* Once that they turned their heads back to the curtain of smoke, they could hear that the sound was coming from inside the cloud of black somke, and they could see how some kind of light flickered inside of it, with several yellow dots floating in the air. And after a few moments, for they dismay, they could see that the creature didn't even flinched by their flames, and it had some kind of yellow dots floating under every single metal feather the creature had, every second they seemed to become a little bit bigger. The green, smaller dragon roared in anger and he flew high in the sky, first this thing attacks his nephew and his brother like if it was no big deal, and now he wasn't even fazed by his flames?. It was time for him to rip appart this creature and the ponies with his own claws, and then he doved towards te creature, placing his claws infront of his face, acting like if he was some kind of harpoon that was going to pierce the war sphinx. But just before the dragon even got close to the creature, every single yellow orb that were floating beneath his feathers were shot at the diving dragon in some kind of nedle form. The dragon tried to dodge the projectiles made of light by flying to his side, but the hardlight spears just bended to the side, following the dragon at lightning speeds. Once that the spears reached the dragon, he let out a blood curling scream, for every single needle pierced through his body, entering by one side of his body and getting out by the other side. After a few seconds of being suspended in the air, the hardlight spears were extinguished, and the dead body of the dragon fell to the ground, looking like some kind of cheese, blood leaking out of every hole. Medicant Bias placed his eyes on the body of the dragon, and started to glow orange-yellowish, and he shot two red beams towards it, making the body start to disintegrate in some kind of yellow petals that dissapeared seconds after, after one minute, the body of the dragon was gone, leaving only a pool of blood. The other dragon was in a state of pure shock, they were both dragons, adult dragons, they had an unmatched strenght and agility, plus the wisdom that they collected through the hundreds of years of experience made them even more dangerous, and now this creature comes out of nowhere with a bunch of ponies, survives their infernal fire, and it got rid of his brother like a fly, like if he was nothing. Soon the shock turned into fear, and it instatly turned into hate and rage, maybe it killed his brother, but he was younger, but him, he was one thousand and seven hundred and fifty years old, he had more than a milenia of experience, and his power was far more advanced than any dragon he knew, he had to win this fight. GROWL"Whatever or whoever you are, consider yourself and those ponies dead" He said pointing the ponies that were inside the bubble shield and running his claw across his neck. "And dont even try your cheap-light magic or whatever you call it on me, my scales are way more resistant than my brother's, cannon balls shatter against my scales!" The dragon proclaimed, in a desperate try to intimidate the creature, but Medicant Bias didn't even thought about a chance of this dragon getting out from this battle alive, there were very few things on the galaxy that could take on the artillery of a war sphinx without getting obliterated. Medicant Bias didn't even talk, he was just waiting for the dragon to make the first move, so he could get over with this nonsensical fight at once. Grrr"Buck you then" Said the dragon clenching his teeth, as he sunk his claw on the ground. The veins in his body started to grow, as well as his muscles, his scales started to grow thicker, his fangs became sharper and larger until he grew in mass until he became about two times bigger in comparison of his last form. Medicant Bias was archiving all of the fight in his data banks, all of the knowledge he could gather in this planet was very valuable, and this was interesting indeed, the dragon seemed to use some kind of natural steroid to increase his combat ability, he had to learn more about that once this fight was finished. The dragon gave the metal being one last time and saw its eyes were glowing crimson red, but that didn't matter now, he leaned back, pressing a lot of force on his back legs, and in one single lunge, it launched itself at an incredible speeds, and in a matter of seconds he was infront of the war spinx, and he placed one of his claws on it's head, and leaned back to deliver an incredible strong punch, however, Medicant Bias didn't like to be touched, and he sent an incredible charged shock charge to the exterior hull of his combat suit, making the dragon's muscles to contract and convulse. Then once the particle accelerators Medicant Bias was charging while the dragon was too busy bragging where fully charged, and he shot a single beam of ionized particles from his eyes to the dragon's arm, the force of the sudden impact making the enchanced dragon to be sent just a couple of feet away. The dragon felt an horrible pain and a huge pinch on his claw, but after two seconds, it stoped, and brought his gaze towards his foe. "I said that It wouldn't work on me" The dragon said with a grin confident that he had this battle already won, he leaned back to try another strike, but then felt the same pain again, wich made him clutch his hand in pain. When he saw his claw again, the horror struck him, it was being disintegrated into some kind of yellow petals that soon disapeared in the air. Impulsed by the panic, his survival instincts kicked in him and the dragon tried anything he could do, he tried to scratch his claw, he blew fire into it, he even tried to rip the scales out of his claw, but nothing worked, soon whatever was trying to kill him already disintegrated his whole hand and it was moving starting to consume the arm. In a desperate try of survival, the dragon chopped off his arm from the elbow, his arm fell to the ground followed by a blast of blood and it dissapeared in a matter of seconds. But it did not matter whatever the dragon tried to do, he was already doomed since the beam made contact with his body, soon enough the newly amputated arm started to morph into little yellow petals that would dissapear in the sky, soon his other arm started suffer the same fate as well as his tail. The dragon screamed in pain and desesperation as he felt how his extremities and insides where slowly disintegrated, soon after a few seconds of blood and screams, there was nothing left of the dragon, just like his brother the only thing he left behind was a pool of blood. Once the fight was over, silence took over the area, the only sound that could be heared was the wind, and the energy shields that the sentinels were deploying, after a few seconds, the remaining sentinels rose up the ground coming out of their cloak as they started to round Medicant Bias in search of any damage. The ponies were in shock, after the gruesome display, Celestia heavily reconsidering the invitation she gave to the creature to come to the capital city, he already showed that he is far more powerfull than an ancient dragon, and he wiped out two of them with ease in a matter of minutes, a thing that would usually take almost an army of guards with the princesses help, and this creature showed that he was capable of doing it without even being harmed. Once the sentinels were done with the scans, Medicant Bias turned around facing the ponies, an action that made princess Celestia stand in a defensive pose, shielding the elements behind her, he did not seemed to care, for he just changed to a prone position, floating right above the ground, making him look like some kind of space stingray, and then spoke, the lights in his eyes flickering with each word. "Your vehicles are not usable at the moment, if we want to reach the destination you should cling on me" Medicant Bias said. "What do you mean by 'WE'?!" Rainbow Dash said taking a step forward, spreading her wings in a try to make herself look bigger. Celestia just placed a hoof infront of her chest, stoping her in her tracks as she gave her a disapproving look and then she turned onto Medicant Bias. "I... don't think that bringing you to Canterlot is a good idea after all" She said looking to the ground. "Is there something troubling you?" Medicant Bias said, crurious about the sudden change of Idea. "Y-y-you killed those poor dragons..." Fluttershy whimpered in a very low voice. After finding out what was the problem, Medicant Bias started to formulate an answer, It was obvious that these ponies were not familiar with violence, and they were upset because of his recent display, even though the dragons were threatening their lifes, they were still upset because of their deaths, just like most forerunners would feel about killing an innocent creature. "My apologizes if my display was quite... gruesome, even though it is hard for me to admit it, the extermination of those creatures was necessary" Medicant Bias said trying to convince the ponies that the sacrifice was necessary. At this point, the sadness of Fluttershy was morphing into anger, he just KILLED those dragons without even showing remorse!, she knew that most of the dragons could be very mean, but they were still living beings!, and killing them like that without prejudice was just, horrible!. Fluttershy gathered all the strength she had, and picked herself up off the ground, hovering in the air. "H-how dare you..." She said wiping the tears out of her face, all eyes on her. "Fluttershy..." Whispered Twilight with sadness, sadness of seeing her friend so upset. "How dare you to say that the death of those poor dragons was necessary?!" Fluttershy asked in anger as she started to fly towards Medicant Bias. Doing her best to at least getting one apology out of him. "They were defending their family, and you just killed them!, that dragon is probably all alone now, because you killed his father!" Fluttershy was now at this point hoovering right infront of the war sphinx's face, deploying her most effective weapon, The Stare. "Fluttershy, that's enough, we are all upset but-" Twilight tried to calm down her friend, but she was interrupted. "No!, I want to know what he needs to say, he need to apologize!." Fluttershy exclaimed, demanding an apolgy from the forerunner ancilla. Medicant Bias was just sitting there, he couldn't make this equine understand that those reptiles had pure intentions of getting rid of them, and he protected them, and what does he get in return? Insolence, insults and a pony that is demanding an apology for saving them, something deep inside of him flickered by a moment, he felt something that he hadn't felt in milenias, Anger. "I have nothing to say to you" Medicant Bias said as he started to hoover higher than Fluttershy, his eyes changing to a crimson red. "How dare-" She tried to say before being interrupted by him once again. "I just did what my master would've wanted, I protected you from destruction, those beings don't care what you have to say to them, they dont care if you are peacefull, they are going to kill you no matter what, for them you are just another target, another meal, and if you aren't even capable of being gratefull for my help, then you are not whorty of it, you are not even Reclaimers, I shouldn't even be wasting time with you." Medicant Bias said, hoovering just above Fluttershy, the pony was sobbing by now, she just wanted to protect all she could, but she realised that it doesn't matter how many animals she helps, most of them will still see her as a meal. Once he realised that he reduced this pony to tears with just words, he regained control over himself once again, this wasn't right, that wasn't supposed to happen, he wanted to show that he was here to help, and he was going the wrong way. All of the remaining elements rushed over to comfort her, some of them giving him quick death glares, Celestia approached to Medicant Bias. "Was that really necessary?" Celestia said, concerned of the sudden outburst of anger towards Fluttershy. "I-Im really sorry, that wasn't supposed to happen, I dont know what was the problem with my system a few moments ago" Medicant Bias tried to explain, not wanting to tell them his experience with Rampancy. "System?" Celestia thought, what did he meant with system?. "Anyways, its not me the one you are supposed to be apologizing to..." Celestia said, looking to the now comforted Fluttershy that was getting up the ground. Medicant Bias understood that if he wanted to show these equines his kind side, he should start by apologizing for his sudden outburst of anger. He started to hoover towards the group of equines, they started to move around, making a barrier between him and Fluttershy. "Let him." Celestia said ordering them to get out of the way, so Medicant Bias could get closer to Fluttershy. Even though they did not liked the idea of letting him through they got out of the way, looking each of his movements, searching for an excuse to get him away of their friend. Once Medicant Bias was close enough, Fluttershy closed her eyes tightly, and emited a quiet meep as she curled in a ball, not knowing what Medicant Bias was going to do. "My apologizes" He said, all of the mane six looked at him in confusion, and an ear of Fluttershy twitched, informing that she was listening to him. "Im sorry for my sudden outburst earlier, its just that I couldn't let those dragons do whatever they wanted to do with you ponies, my ideals dictated me to protect you and your firends, but I do not expect you to forgive my attitude towards you earlier" He explained, trying his best to appeal to the soft side of the pony named Fluttershy. "Don't apologize..." She said getting up the ground, wiping her tears away "It was my fault, its just that, sometimes I forget that not all animals are nice, and some of them still see me as a meal, even when I help them". Medicant Bias just stood there, thinking, these equines that called themselves ponies, were in fact, somewhat, somewhat like the forerunners, in the aspect that every single one of them where kind and forgiving, but at the same time firm, when other races maybe would've taken his sudden outburst of rage as a sign of agression, they just took it as concern from him to them. Maybe later he could run some exams, on himself and the ponies, but he had another priority right now, he turned to see the incredibly damaged chariot, the flames still dancing above it, they wouldn't go anywhere in that thing, and then he turned to Celestia. "We are not going anywhere in that vehicle," Medicant said turning his gaze for one second to the chrased chariot and then turning to Celestia once more"How long would it take for another vehicle to arrive at this location?" "Well, it depends on how fast I can send a beacon to Canterlot in order for a squad of guards to arrive here and assuming that this sunny day is going to last, I would say a couple of hours..." Celestia answered. A couple of hours?, they didn't have a couple of hours, they couldn't just sit there and wait for another predator to show up and try to jump on them from behind, it wasn't a problem for him ofcourse, there where almost none biogical creatures that could even scratch a forerunner artifact, but still, he couldn't guarantee a 100% the ponies safety, he would need to take the ponies to the destination himself. "It should be faster if I helped you get to your city" Medicant Bias said, moving to a prone position, hoovering just inches above the ground. "Wait, what do you mean by- WOAH!" Rainbow Dash was cut off by a sentinel using some kind of blue beam to grab her and then move her to Medicant Bias' back. "What is going on!" Twilight said as she and all of the other ponies where grabbed by some kind of blue beam and positionated them onto back of Medicant Bias, once all the ponies, and the injured guards where positionated on his back he spoke. "Please, do not be alarmed, I'm going to magnetize your hoofs to me for your own safety, you might feel a light pinch." He said, as he conducted a non lethat, but strong, charge of energy to the equines hoofs, enough to make a small energy shield that surronded all of their hoofs, ensuring that no wind would blow them away. "Clestia, I must admit that I'm oblivious to the location of our destination, so I would be very gratefull if you told me which way we are headed" Medicant Bias said "W-well Canterlot is located North-west, but you cant just..." Celestia tried to say but was cut-off by Medicant Bias. "I'm sorry Celestia but this is no time for explanations, once we reach our destiny I will answer all your questions but for now." Medicant Bias said as he started to to hoover away from the ground "Please, prepare yourselfs for the take-off" "Wow buddy, who the hell you think you are talking to? I'm the RAINBOW DASH I can do a sonic rain-WOAAH!" Rainbow Dash claimed until Medicant Bias flew off with them at an incredible speed of MACH 5. "HOW FAST IS THIS THING GOING?!" Rarity shouted, lowering her head a litte, trying to not get her mane messed up by the wind. "We are currently traveling at a MACH 5 speed, fast enough to reach out destination in a matter of minutes" Medicant Bias said, already having his vision zoomed into a distant city on a mountain. "WAIT! MEDICANT, WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY IS THAT YOU JUST CAN'T LAND ABOVE THE CITY JUST LIKE THIS, IT WOULD MAKE ALL THE CITIZENS PANIC WITHOUT MENTIONING THE INTERNATIONAL LEADER'S OUTRAGE OF A FOREIGN CREATURE!" Celestia said trying to get her mane off her face. "In that case I'll take security meassures." Medicant Bias said, already slowing down and hovering thousands of meters over Canterlot. "Look! everypony at Canterlot looks like little ants, HELLO LITTLE PONY ANTS!" Pinkie shouted, somehow waving her mane as a hoof. Suddenly an translucid blue oval surrounded Medicant Bias and the ponies, making them almost completely invisible. "Woah, what is this?..." Twilight asked her curiosity taking over her. "This is a camouflage field, we are completely invisible to the naked eye." Medicant Bias explained to the curios pony. "This is quite impressive im must say, usually an invisibility spell would consume a lot of magic just to deploy it on an average size pony, but you just made one around all of yourself, you have to tell me how it works." Twilight said in wonder. "That will be in another time little one, for now we arrived at castle." Medicant Bias said, as he landed softly in the grass of the castle's garden. "It would be the best for me to stay as hidden as possible, if what you said was true, I dobut you would want to have international affairs about what to do with me." Medicant Bias explained "I will transform back to my combat suit form and I'll follow you inside your castle." Medicant Bias said as turned off the magnetic fields on the ponies hoofs, allowing them to climb off him. "Okay, we just have to get in the castle and we'll search for a more private place to talk." Celestia said as she walked inside the castle, being followed by her sister, the mane six and an invisible Forerunner AI. Celestia just needed to be very carefull with her decisions from now on. Author's Note Sorry for being inactive all this time, I was just out of inspiration. ALSO Curious info: Did you knew that the masterchief's mjolnir armor is rated as a class 2 combat skin in forerunner standards? and that forerunner civilians have to wear atleast a Class 8 combat skin, and even though masterchief's mjolnir was a combat skin of class 2 it was more effective against the flood than the class 8 combat skins, because of it's capabilities to endure hazardous enviroments, making the user almost immune to the flood infection...
Chapter 4: ExplanationsThe mane six walked along with Celestia and their newest invisible alien acquaintance in the hallways of Canterlot's castle, the echo of hoof steps and a weird low tuned humming invading its walls. The group came to a halt after meeting a dead end, facing only a big pearl white wall. "Give me a second please." Celestia said as she leaned her head forward, barely touching the wall with her yellow glowing horn, and then taking a step back. After a few seconds the image of the wall became to distort until vanishing into thin air, revealing a dark room with a stair staircase leading to the unkown darkness from below. "Please follow me" Celestia doing so, and the rest of the group doing so, leaving the hallway and the magic mirage replenishing itself. "EEP" Fluttershy cringed as the shadows of the room surrounded her, a faint violet light being emanated by Twilight's horn repelling the dark void. After that the ponies continued to descend the stairwell, the only sound they could heard was the humming that confirmed them that the AI was still with them, and the hooves clanking against the metal of the stairwell. And after what seemed and eternity, the group arrived at the end of the spiral, the moment Celestia laid her foot on the cold stone ground, several sticks on the walls with some kind of flawlessly cut gems started to glow mimicking a torch, revealing several weapon racks and small tables, with a couple of bunk beds on the far corners and a big stone table on the middle. "Are you still with use Medicant Bias?" Celestia said looking specifically nowhere. "I've been following you all this time Celestia." Medicant Bias said in his ever monotone, but sophisticated voice. "Well you need no more to hide, we are safe here." Celestia said as she approached the table on the center, the main six exploring the room in awe and Medicant Bias depleting his camouflage. "What is this place?" Twilight asked in wonder as her eyes darted to one corner to the other in amazement, glimmering with the ember light the magic gems emaneted. "This used to serve as a command center for the army of equestria in times of war" Celestia said as she approached one of the bunk beds "but since our county hasn't seen war in thousands of years, it lost its use, until now." "Now if you would, please everyone take a seat" Celestia said as she brushed the few cobwebs there were in her seat and sat down. The rest of the group did so, Rarity a little bit disgusted by the fact of having to sit on a dusty, cold chair of stone, but she complied. Medicant Bias was hesitant, but after running a few scans, he discovered that these were no normal stone chairs, they were reinforced with the same energy princess Celestia was emanating from her this whole time, so he took a seat, right in front of Celestia, the chair creaked and a few cracks were made, but nothing worse than that. "Okay, since now have peace and privacy, I think this is the best time to know eachother a little bit more" Celestia said, turning her gaze to Medicant Bias. "I know that you already told us your name back at the archeology camp, but I have never seen a sentient creature with your kind of power, so if it doesn't bother you, I must ask you; What exacly are you?" Celestia said, everyone in the room leaning their heads a few centimeters forward, trying to hear everything that had to be said without missing a single detail. "As I said before, I'm Medicant Bias, my masters were the forerunners, and I was in charge of the defense of my own masters" Medicant Bias said, Twilight frowned at this and asked. "So you are some kind of soldier then?" Twilight asked, which had some sense on the head of the others, after remembering his display of power back with the dragons. "Not exactly, I was the one responsible to manage the troops and create strategies of the forerunner-flood war." Medicant Bias explained, getting Celestia even more curious about her guest. "So a commander to be exact." Twilight said as she took with her magic a quill and a paper from nowhere and started to furiosly scribble. Just before Celestia could ask another question a pink mane blocked her vision of Medicant Bias. "Oh,Oh I have a question!" Pinkie shouted bonucing on her tail on the table. "What troubles you?" Asked Medicant Bias, observating how the pink pony bounced infront of him. "Like when is your birthday, because after all of this I'm going to throw a party for you, afterthe'welcomemralienandthanksfornotdestroyingequestia' party, becauseicantmakeapartywithoutknowingyourbirth-...." Pinkie was interrupted as Twilight grabbed hold of her with her magic and shoved her back to her seat, trying to not anger the alien that could doom all of the planet if it wanted to. "Actually I do not have a bitrthday, because I was infact never born." Medicant Bias explained. Everyone in the room except for Celestia and Luna gasped at this. "What do you mean that you were never born, that doesn't have any sense you are sitting right there!" Twilight shouted, her brain at the brink of exploding. Rarity simply fainted, for some reason imaginating an interruption on pregnancy, Fluttershy rushed to ten to her, Pinkie's mane became flat imaginating the horrors of never having a birthday party, Rainbow Dash barking something about how she said that he wasn't trustworthy with Applejack. "I've been explaining you that all this time, I'm an Artificial Intellingence, my masters litterally created me." Medicant Bias said , trying to convince the ponies he was telling the thruth. "But it doesn't work like that, there is no way a living being can create something so complex like life from nothing!" Twilight exclaimed, trying to defend the last bit of sanity she had left. "You must believe me, I was created by the forerunner, and I wasn't created from nothingness, most AI are the essence of an entity that passed away, in my case, you could say that I'm half an essence and half an Artificial being." Medicant Bias tried to explain this to them without revealing his dark past to the ponies. "So are you like a ghost?" RD asked frowning. "That is not accurate at all, but if that makes you feel more comfortable then yes. " Medicant Bias said. "O-ok, next question; What kind of magic do you use?" Celestia said, trying to swallow the information she was just given. "Excuse me?" Medicant Bias asked, catched off guard by her statement, magic? Haven't these equines seen this kind of technology before?. "You already showed us that you have an extreme control over your magic, by morphing yourself from the size of the castle to a height of 8 to 9 feet, and even getting rid of... a dragon all by yourself, could you explain it to us how you got this kind of powers?" Celestia asked, trying to learn what kind of magic is powerful enough to put her magic and maybe even the elements of harmony to shame. "Oh, that, in fact I do not possess any kind of 'magic', as you call it, this is all the wonders of the Forerunner empire technology " Medicant Bias explained. "So what you are you trying to say is not only that your people managed to create artificial life, but they managed to create an empire without a single touch of magic?! " Twilight asked dumbfounded. "An empire across the galaxy to be precise." Medicant Bias corrected. "AND THEY MANAGED TO RULE THE ENTIRE GALAXY TOO?!" Twilight shouted, she just wanted to go to the farthest corner of the room, curl into a fetal position and start swaying back and forth while singing Fluttershy lullaby. "All this guy is saying is manure!" Rainbow Dash excalimed while stomping her front hooves on the table "I mean if there was an empire ruling this galaxy right now, then we would've heard from them by now!" "Rainbow Dash thou shall not insult our guest!" Princess Luna finally broke her silence, earning a confused look from AppleJack, whom didn't noticed her by now. "Unfortunately, as far as I know my masters ceased to be a hundred thousand and three hundred years ago, along with their empire, leaving their creations like me behind." Medicant Bias said, If he was an organic life form, he would've displayed sorrow and melancholy after his statement. "A hundred thousand years?" Celestia asked confused "Then how old are you?" "I'm exactly one hundred thousand and forty three years old " Medicant Bias said to the ponies with his ever present calm. After that, chaos took over again. Rarity who just recovered a few minutes ago, fainted once again, Twilight was trying to find her happy place, RD was just screaming obsenities with AppleJack sermonizing her about how she should watch her lenguange, Celestia and Luna silently arguing and pinkie was just sad once again, more than a hundred thousand years without parties?!. "SILENCEEEEEEEEEE" Luna's royal voice boomed, making the walls shake and hushing the arguing inside the chamber. "You know what this is it!" RD said as she launched herself at an amazing speed at Medicant Bias. "Rainbow Dash wait!" Celestia had no time to react a grab hold of her, if she angered him, then all of her kingdom was doomed. Medicant Bias ran several test of the actual situation, every single one of them ending in the equine's known as Rainbow Dash demise, most of them showing that at her speed colliding with a mass as thick as him would occasionate a fatal injury on the brain, other scan suggested that she wouldn't die on the impact, but it would be incredibly probable that a blood cot would cause an embolism that would lead her to a slow and painful death, so he reacted. Before she could make contact with him he grabbed hold of her with an engineer sentinel beam, most of the sentinels had one for it made it easier to manipulate heavy objects with it. After the beam made contact with her, she came to a dead stop, it was similar to the unicorns magic, but this was a fine, cold and incredibly strong energy, unlike the unicorns aura that would wave and wasn't as nearly as strong as this energy, Rainbow Dash couldn't move a single muscle. She was completly indefense. And she swore that for one minuscle second, Medicant Bias' eyes flashed red. Author's Note Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Im not dead guys! I wasn't writing for the last months because I felt that the story wasn't good enough, I mean, Im a huge fan of stories that have objective structure, that get the right personality of the character, and that has a good plot, but after reading one of my chapters I almost faint... that and I was out of inspiration. after that I just started to read other peoples stories because I felt maybe that way I would improve my writting skills, and I think that I fixed the objective thing just a little bit, and then I started to notice, that even though the story wasn't uptaded I was still getting favs and I said 'Awww' so, Im back, sorry the story is not as long as the others. So, Im sure there are a few grammar errors up there (and maybe here) but i'll fix them as soon as I can.
I'm alivekek Yeah, well its been almost like what 3 years or so? Idk, truth is that I'm not into FIM anymore, hence why I pretty much abandoned the site (and this story), also I just wanted to check if my account hadn't been deleted for inactivity and lo and behold, its still here, and looking back at the story I'm still happy with the main plot that I had in mind, but then I cringe HARD when I see all the misspellings and all that crap that ironically turns me off from reading anything. Well it's been a while since then and I like to think that my grasp on the lenguage has gotten better (English ain't my native lenguage if you can't tell already), so if I decide to continue the story (wich is a 50/50 since as I already said, I'm not into FiM anymore) I will start by editing all the previous chapters first, adding and taking away unecessary fillers and that kind of stuff. So yeah, I'm surprised people were still waiting for an update for this thing wich is one of the reasons I feel obliged to continue this until at the very least I feel comfortable to end it. So yeah, that's basically it guys.
