Dead Equestria: Dante Clarke

  Dante Clarke. Son of the legendary Issac Clarke. After hearing about his father's death 5 years ago, he's been having trouble moving on, even though he had a successful life. He owned his own apartment, had his father's job, and made good money doing it. He was as intelligent as his father with Engineering and Ships Systems Schematics, which is basically the reason why he got his father's job as an Engineer. Dante sat there in his apartment watching the video Issac sent him before he died.

"Hey kid... how are you doin? I'm just calling you say that, you might not see me again, and I'm sorry, but I just wanted you to know that you are the greatest kiddo, and that I love you, I'm sorry, but this is my final goodbye. Catch ya la-" When the video ended, that's when Dante knew it happened. He still remembered how hard he cried the first time he saw that video. He was only 13.

  He never really knew his father, well, other than the fact that he destroyed all of the Markers, and also he witnessed him destroy the last one, but he knew that he wanted to be there for him and that he was a loving father, but with the Necromorphs destroying the universe, it was a losing battle. Dante let out a long sigh and walked out of his apartment. He waited for his partner James for work, but he really wanted to leave him for many reasons. James was a good friend  but an absolutely terrible partner in many ways. He wouldn't really do his job unless you pay him double or with booze, and sometimes if you did, he still wouldn't do his job. Making money was already hard enough without him in the mix. Dante would show up late most of the time because James wouldn't meet up with him on time. They were already five minutes late for work, and Dante began to get aggravated.

"Come on James, don't pull this shit today." Dante mumbled to himself. He then heard footsteps and he saw James at the end of the hallway walking towards him. "Come on kid." James said walking past him. It really pissed Dante of whenever he called him "kid". Dante was a mere 2 years younger than James. "I swear to fucking god James if you call me kid one more time I'm gonna fucking shoot at you." He threatened.

James just laughed and stared at him. "Alright then... kid." James joked around with him. Without hesitation Dante pulled out his Plasma Cutter and purposely missed James. James just looked at him as if he were crazy. "You got some real balls shooting at me!" James shouted at him. Dante just smirked. "Thanks." Dante chuckled and walked past him. "Come on let's go before were late." James stood there and said, "I don't know, you did kinda shoot at me." He said with a smile on his face.

Dante sighed and looked at him. "If I got you a case of beer would you move any faster?" Dante asked frustrated. "Make it two and I will." Dante just groaned. Beer was starting to get expensive now a days. "Ugh, fine, lets go." Dante said walking off.. James just chuckled and followed close by.

  Dante and James went to their ship and flew off to the space port and waiting for further instruction from their boss. Once they arrived they walked into the main office. Their boss walked up to them. "You're late... again." He said with a frown on his face. "Sorry sir, whats up for us today?" Dante asked.

His boss smiled, he loved Dante's confidence. It was one of the things he liked about him. He patted him on the shoulder. "Just like your father." He walked behind his desk and sat down. We have a ship that needs a Shock Space Drive, it's own went mysteriously missing, we need you to go out there and replace it."

  Dante nodded and walked over to the suit kiosk. He got in and the doors shut, making a whirring sound as it put his suit on. The doors open to reveal him in his standard EVA Suit. James walked over and put his Elite Suit on. They got on a ship and went to go replace the Shock Space Drive. After a few minutes they arrived at the ship, Dante stood at the door ready to go, the airlock was released and he opened up the door and jumped out. He looked at the ship and with a slight push with his thrusters he was already nearing it within a matter of seconds. He looked at where the Shock Space Drive would be and it really wasn't there. How in the hell did it just detatch itself? He thought. He radioed James.

"James I need you to get to the cockpit and see if the Drive starts working." James just sighs and flies towards the cockpit. "Yep, everything's working, just slap the Shock Space Drive on and I'll let ya know when its working." He acknowledged. Dante pulled the Shock Space Drive out of his rig and started to apply it to the ship. "Workin yet?" He asked. "Nope." James replied.

James was standing there looking at the controls waiting. The Shock Space bar glowed. This oughta scare the piss out of him. James thought in his head. He slowly pushed the lever foward powering up the Shock Space Drive. Nothing happened. He pushed it further, still nothing. He pushed it all the way. Still Nothing. He radioed Dante. "Dante, you there?" No response. "Dante! Are you the-" He was interrupted by a loud BOOM. "Shit! Dante!" James screamed. Another explosion happened on the dashboard, blasting James back with a piece of the dashboard pinning him to the wall.

"I'm sorry Dante. I was just prankin ya thats all." He said with his last breaths.

3 Hours Later

It was a beautiful day in Equestria, Celestia's new sun burning bright in the sky, the air was fresh, and the grass was perfect. Twilight and her friends decided to take a picnic in the fields. Twilight stood there waiting for them until she saw them.

"Hey  girls!" She called out to them. "Howdy Twilight." Applejack replied. They got everything set up underneath their favorite tree, and then Rainbow Dash started showing off with her new tricks. As she was flying she noticed something odd laying on the ground. She flew down towards it and then stopped three inches away from it.

"WHAT THE HAY IS THAT?!?" She shouted. The girls ran over to where Rainbow Dash was and then were shocked as much as she was, when they saw the strangest metal thing lying there on the ground.
