Prologue

"Call me crazy will they! After all I'd done for them!" The stallion grumbled as he trotted quickly between various desks on which lay various components and hardware from a multitude if machines, he stopped at a desk which had a circular orb on it that resembled a robotic pony head, he reached out to one of the various components on the table and brought it over to the orb. "I'll show them, they'll have to believe me, I'll prove to them I'm not crazy." He opened a hatch on the orb and reached inside, a faint click could be heard as he plugged the component in, if anyone looked at the orb now they would not deny it was a pony head. But it was terrifying, the eyes had started to glow when he'd plugged that certain component in.

The stallion started to focus more on the gas at hand, mumbling as he went, "The hard drive is working... Generating alternate power supply... Need to field test the motor functions..." He moved over to a table right beside the table with the robotic pony head on it, this table had a laptop, which, before his eyes, spurted out various codes and data, "Interesting... The CPU is functional despite not being given any software to work with... It barely even has an operating system..." The stallion shook his head and cleared his throat, "Protocol 001: AI FalAIr, command; Upload" shortly after the stallion said this, the eyes on the robotic pony head blinked off and the laptop stopped spurting out codes and data. It instead loaded some legible sentences:

Voice command acknowledged;
Protocol recognised;
AI FalAIr status: Active;
Command received, transferring required data to AI;
AI FalAIr confirmed data integrity;
Initiating upload;
Uploading AI FalAIr 0% complete...

After seeing that the laptop had acknowledged him and that his AI had accepted, he turned away from the table and trotted slowly toward the opposite wall. Against it was what looked like metal armour made to imitate an exoskeleton, the only difference being that the armour wasn't empty. Inside it were motors and gears and all kinds of devices and components needed. This, was the robot body.

Grabbing a wrench from a bench built into the wall nearby, he reached deep into the robot body and checked that all the bolts were tight as necessary. Satisfied that the body was ready, he trotted back over to the table with the laptop, he briefly checked the screen, noting that the upload was now at 7%, he turned to the left! he checked the blackboard that was on the far wall! noting that the prophecy that 'she' had predicted told of forever night, endless chaos, the end of trust and a darkness inside a crystal. 'She' had said that there was more, but had said she was unable to decipher it. The stallion sighed, "If what she predicted is true, than the fate of Equestria rests on this AI. But if it's false..." He turned to the laptop again, surprised to see the progress bar had skipped to 79%. He trotted over to the laptop, confused, "Well, that can't be-" Suddenly, errors flashed across the screen, the eyes of the robot head glowed intensely and-

Time seemed to slow down, as the laptop exploded, throwing the robot head towards the robot body and blasting the Stallion across the room, he was dimly aware as the sprinklers activated, his attention was on the darkness creeping towards him from the corner of the room, it seemed to move at a faster rate than everything happening around it. The Stallion cried, "No! She said I had lots of time! I haven't e-" The glint of steel, and the stallion was silent.

Author's Note

Ooo, ominous. Kind of annoyed that I resorted to POV of him viewing Death coming for him. But I was just in that kinda mood when I wrote that last part. Bloody dramatic slow motion deaths...
