Origins: PGS-1, Survivor Of The Rainbow Factory (V 2 Edit)

   He adjusted his thrusters to a weaker setting and dropped to ground level. He then killed his thrusters and approached a nearby building. Records say Janson takes residency here. It will also be his grave marker.

   Electric looked around. It was a heavily forested, yet populated edge of Ponyville. Small shops and homes littered the forest and a single road led into the town's center. He let out a huff of static and went to begin landing at the inn. Electric adjusted his wing units to fold in, and approached the door. He thumped the ground once, so hard that it shook the door off of its hinges. It flopped forward, and the innkeeper who'd had his hoof ready to open the door dropped his jaw in pure amazement.

   "Summon the one that they call Janson." Electric demanded.

   "What are you?" The inkeeper asked.

   "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."

   "Your name?"

   "Mortals call me PGS-1. I am named Electric Storm, a name of mine own choice. Now, fetch me my prize."

   "Give me a moment. I'll see if he's in." The inkeeper said, beginning to perspire heavily. He moved to shut the door, but remembered that it had been broken and gave up.

   "Be quick." Electric switched to a darker tuning for the comment. The innkeeper went up a set of stairs and turned a corner. He came back down with Janson poking along. Janson paled and froze.

   "Look into the eyes of your executioner. Do you tremble in fear?" Electric asked cooly.

   Janson looked past Electric. "Not today!" He screamed. Janson bolted past Electric, taking him by surprise. Electric turned to receive a blast of heat. A small supernova erupted and blew a hole in the front of the inn. The inkeeper screeched, and fainted.

   Electric barely noticed the explosion. He extended his wing units and vertically took off. He easily spotted the supersonic trail that Janson left, and began to tail it. Janson was a good thousand feet ahead of him.

   Electric activated his afterburners and shot after Janson. Nothing would contain his hate. No speed would save Janson. He was mortal. He had to rest.

   Janson began to slow down.

   Electric quickly caught up with him. He tackled the red pegasus mid-air and tumbled to the ground with him. Electric raised a super strong hoof and swung a hard right. Janson pulled his head back and countered with a suppressed punch to the midsection of Electric's armor. Janson grunted in pain, flipped himself, and escaped Electric's grip. He bounced backward with the sheer force it had required to do so.

   "Why are you trying to kill me?" Janson shouted.

   "It is wished by the overseer." Electric hissed.

   Electric raised both his hooves and sprung forward in an attempt to regain dominance. Janson sidestepped and bucked a hard shot to Electric's head. Electric effortlessly evaded the bone-shattering blow, and shot a hoof upwards. He narrowly missed, instantly bruising the flesh that he skimmed. Janson again grunted, attempting to contain external expressions of physical pains. He was actually doing quite well.

   "What overseer?" Janson huffed out, exhaustion beginning to take hold.

   "The great and powerful Rainbow Dash!" Electric laughed.

   Janson swung a vicious axe kick into Electric's back. Electric felt a dent assert itself in his armor. How?! Janson recovered quickly and put a roundhouse into Electric's centre mass. Another dent asserted itself. Electric countered with a flurry of right and left jabs, each containing enough force to bend pure titanium. Janson dodged all but the last hit. The hit that connected shattered several small bones in Janson's arm. Janson inhaled heavily and exhaled a loud groan of pain through his teeth. That is exactly where Electric aimed his next hit. Janson managed to avoid, even being crippled as he was. He even managed to plant a solid buck into Electric's head. Electric's optical units shorted and his audio receptors rang loudly.

   "AAARRRGGGHHHH!" Electric screamed in fury. "I may be blinded, but you've not beaten me!" Electric began to blindly punch about. Trees exploded into splinters and ponies that wandered nearby ran for their lives. A building or two even lost a wall.

   Janson took this rare opportunity and gave his strongest buck to Electric's face. He collapsed, and powered down. Janson flew away to seek medical assistance from Twilight Sparkle.

   When Electric had fully rebooted, he looked around. Janson was gone, as was the area around Electric. He had apparently destroyed a portion of the outskirts of Ponyville in his blinded rage. Electric took one last look and went to find Janson. He couldn't have gone far.

   Then, Electric stopped himself and walked towards the centre of town. Public showdowns gave the most grandeur. They also might scare the public to follow the overseer's will. He then stopped. My software is updating... He sat in silence and waited for the update to finish. My "Free thought" program is telling me something. The overseer might be wrong in her actions. They exhibit greed, while this Janson character exhibits no signs of self-aggrandizing or of glory pursuit. He only exhibits the desire to live a normal life. Forgive me, Celestia, for I have wronged you.

   That's when Rainbow Dash plummeted out of the cloud cover, screaming in fury. Electric turned, and froze. Redeem me...
