Chapters I wake to the blazing sun and my eyes slide into a slit much like the way a cats would after contact with the sunlight, so the light levels always stay the same for most efficiency in combat and to put it plainly I love cats.
I swiftly get up and look at my midnight snack and smile, ‘What is it about consuming animals makes me excited, maybe the wild genetics merging with mine.’
I swiftly start to run pacing myself to about three meters a second and I catch a glimpse of a lone cottage in a line of extremely spaced cottages.
‘Wow theres alot animals around there, most of them look like ones from Earth. Check that in the list I know now.’ I smile as I focus biomass to my legs and uses that surge of biomass as an spring to jump taller than most the skyscrapers in New York. and eject microscopic amount of biomass to keep me air borne till i get to the edge of town and land on an roof of one shaking it.
‘Note to self those structures are sound enough to parkour on. So i still get the fn of New York expect failing to land doesn't mean i land in an hell hole of infected...Damn no fun any more.’
I slide down off the roof into an alleyway and i pull down my hood and walk out the alleyway into an girl with beautiful white skin and an large purple curls in them and knock her over and y arm turns into an blade then disappear in an blink of an eye.
“Who is the brute who knocked me over and ruined my clothes and hair! I just got out of the spa and now its all ruined!.”
I extend my hand to her hiding under my hood and use an smoot voice on her, “I'm sorry Ma’am I would pay for it all but incidentally i'm broke right now.”
She takes my hand and makes an sound like an little girl pouting, “Atleast you're polite enough to handle a lady. My name is Rarity by the way.” She tries looking me in the eyes so i switch them to an ice blue and look her in an eye.
“My name is…Pathogen if you want to know.” I look around at the bright colors that surround the area but i feel her grab the material on my jacket and look it over.
“Darling what is this material it feels divine! Like the most finest silk but it looks like wool and leather just an waste you should come with me and i can get you an new outfit! I have something perfect for your build!” She looks like shes bouncing up and down and i stop her by placing my hand on her head.
“Please stop i just need an few questions answered and an place to stay for an few nights.”
If i give you an place to stay and answer those questions will you let me have an piece of that fabric?” I sigh and nod and reach in my back pocket transferring an roll of biomass to an roll of the smoothes fabric i can think of and i give it to her.
“There i keep some on me if i need to repair my fabric on my jacket and jeans.” I swear her eyes grew two times in size and fainted when an couch magically floated to her where she fainted on. ‘Telekinetic powers by humanoids? I should find an nobody and consume them for the power.’ I nod as i shake the girl awake and look at her when i feel an punch on my cheek and an girl with rainbow hair and wings?!
I glare at her and grab her arm and slam her into the ground and place my foot on her shoulder blade and pulls while she screams for help and there is an audible pop from her shoulder and she starts to cry out in pain then i let her go and stare at her turning my eyes to red, “Don't try that shit on me again or I’ll dismember your arm.” My voice was level and easy like if i told her the time and she scoots back to the girl Rarity and flies off with her with an dislocated shoulder as i continue on my walk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rainbow Dash picks up Rarity off the couch with her good arm and fls off to Twilights house, ‘She can tell me what that was and she can pop my shoulder back into place.’ She burst through the door startling Twilight.
“Rainbow what happened to your arm?!” Worry is written on her face .
“Some monster attacked me and threatened me and it looked like it hurt Rarity too!”
“That monster was an handsome gentleman that made me faint with his beautiful voice and words and this gift!” The girls look at Rarity dumbfounded. “Its true me bumped me over but he apologized and helped me back up and gave me an fabric I’ve never seen as an gift.” She holds out the silk that I gave her and looks at the girls.
“Was he an hooded man with crimson red eyes?”
“Yes!”
“No!”
“His eyes were ice blue when i saw him!”
Twilight looks at them. “I personally saw an blood red last night when i met him.
The girls were stopped when i entered the front door and started looking at the shelfs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walk around the town square and find an large tree with an book sign on it then i tap an boy with skin red as an apple and gold hair, “Is that an libary?”
“Yup.”
I nod my head my eyes back to ice blue, “Thank you sir.” I began to walk off and sigh as i walk to the library. ‘I'm just an stranger to those people and its gotta stay that way before i get too popular and noticed if i consume and pose as someone.’
I sigh and look at the library door before walking into the door and look around to see the girl that attacked me and the girl that i met last night and the girl Rarity i believe her name was.
I shrug them off and look at the shelfs for the planet's history and the creatures that live here and i pick the two books that fitted my needs and sits at the table feet away from the girls. I feel an few taps on my shoulder and see Rarity standing there.
“Is it true you attacked my friend Rainbow Dash?” Shes grasping the piece of silk i gave her and i nod.
Only in self defence though...Shes the one who attacked me so i return the blow in kind by dislocating her arm but thats better then i breaking her arm, yes?”
Rarity looks at Rainbow with an few disapproving glances. “Yes it is but thats still bad and you have to apologize to the poor darling and you have to get me more of that silk!”
Rainbow and Twilight facepalm and look at Rarity, “Rarity he dislocated my arm and buddy when i get back in better condition i'm going to get Applejack and tie you up and bring you to the guards myself!”
‘Thats the last straw.’I burst out laughing holding my sides as i look at her. “You're serious! I bet the strongest guy you know couldn't beat me up! Come over here so i can set your arm.”
Twilight nudges her and whispers to her, “Just suck up your pride and let him stick your arm then i can question him on his book choice.”
“Fine ill let him set my arm.”She walks over to him and he smiles as he grabs her arm.
“On the count of three… One.” I set her arm and start to lagh at her yelp of pain and nudge her. “Go get your friend so i can beat him!” She runs off almost blushing with rage and anger and i start to laugh as i read the book and Twilight sits beside me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“So why are you reading child stuff thats about our land?”
“He looks at her plainly as lying is second nature, “Cause I have amnesia and I want to learn all I can before I go search for hom-” I am cut off by a loud roar and Twilight gasps, “How good are people with coping with the unknown?”
“We are pretty good… Why is an Ursa Major attacking Ponyville?”
He gets up, his arm slowly forming a sharp, wicked bone that gleamed, then sprouted out of his right arm in a gentle curve...then about halfway is another curve big enough for a neck and his left arm glows a slight red and I turn to her. “Dont be scared I'm called an Evolved and you’ll see why Master Mercer calls us this.” He runs out the door and stares the thing in the eyes as I change both arms to what I call the nail tendril.
I walk up to the thing that looks like a cut-up of the night sky and step on one of its paws than push down hard leaving a piece of my biomass hooked in its paw . I dig the ‘nail’ deep under ground and it yells in pain, thrashing around with its paw stuck in the ground, “Stay still and I’ll make you part of the hive mind quickly and quietly!”
It stares down as its other front paw is nailed down in the same fashion, causing it to roar in pain again. Then I jump to its neck and make my arm curve gently into a beautiful scythe with its wood replaced with pulsing red biomass. I bring it above my arm and swing down hard to reap my harvest and see the head fall off and bounce a few times while the locals watch what seems to be a reaper of Death.
The first thing i notice is fear of me. Fear of the unknown and possibly dangerous figure and i talk to myself, “Now to consume.” The word consume bounce along them with their faces in an curious twist as tendrils latch out my feet and begin to break down the Ursa Major and when nothing not even the bones remain i fall to my knees as its memories go through my mind and i gasp out loud and start to pant.
I was in the stars and now i know of this land and its people...and how to twist them and their powers.’ I smirk and see most people vomit on the ground and i wag my finger saying tut, “You people are so weird just because i'm not normal you fear me? I can make you like me if you wish and ill teach you how to be like me...Evolved form your former state so stand forth if you wish to have my powers!
A ink girl with puffy hair steps forward and looks me in the eyes her hair deflating, “Are you alone and looking for an friend?”
I nod with tears in my eyes and hug her, “I'm so alone but i want others to be like me, so will you?”
“Only if it’ll make you smile.”
“It will but i have to warn you there's no going back and its painful so tell me if you are ready.”
She nods and tightens her hands into little balls. “I'm ready do it.”
I transform my hand into prongs with an injector her and stab her in the stomach and she gasp and doubles over and everyone in the crowd gasp or vomits but i shortly retract my hand and her wound heals by itself making the other look in awe. ‘Can you hear me?’
She gasp, “How did you do that?!?” She smiles inhumanly large.
“We can talk to each other even if we are on the other side of the globe, its called an hive mind, thank you for being my friend.” I turn to the crowd and sigh, “Will any of you else step up? I will not do children cause i wish no pain of little kids.” No one steps forward in fact they run from me and the girl. “Pinkie if i'm right will you take me to your home?”
She nods and she leaps forward faster than usual but heres four girls that stand in my way with the guy who pointed me in the way of the library.
“What did you do to Pinkie!” By the time the girl...Twilight said that about an hundred men in gold armor stand beside them.
“I gave her freedom from the confines of her genetic makeup, i gave her the power to use her body in anyway, do you wish this power as well?” I tilt my head and i recall Pinkie who stands by my side. ‘Pinkie we may need to fight. You may go stand with your other friends if you wish.’
She nods and skips over to them where there passing out gold necklaces and an tiara. ‘Pathogen you may want to dodge this.’
I step forward to them smiling an i change my body into diamond plating and walk to them with both arms in claws that gleam in the sunlight and i raise them. “You may try to hurt me but know i will attack back in my own defence.”
The purple girl along with the orange , white, Pinkie, an curious yellow girl and the blue one as a curious rainbow links them and focuses on the purple girls tiara and an blast of rainbow engulfs me so i let they try to crystallize my hardened carbon armour to form an stone shape and freeze up, ‘Pinkie i'm going to surprise your friends don't them them i'm alive.’
The gaurds mov closer cand all to the girls and i whisper in one guards ear, “Nice try now my turn.” I build up the biomass into my chest and unleash each tendril one at an time pircing each guards armour and stringing them to the building and then i toss one to Pinkie as the other girls start to cry in fear of their own death.”Pinkie consume him and learn his memories, be like me and ill teach you everything.”
Pinkie touches the guard with one her hands and tendrils warp around he body as she falls over mouth open in pain as memories flood her mind. Her hair deflates as i withdraw then tendrils and go through the same process.”Pinkie do you mind if i sleep at your house?”
“Only if you don't kill my friends…” I nod and pick her up.
“The first time is always a little rougher than the rest but it'll stop being such painful as you do it more.” We contuine as an women flys in fornt of us with pure white skin but her hair is floating and Pinkie gasp.
“Princess Celestia!” She bows to her and i shift my wight to one my legs smiling.
“That bloodbath was an response to unprovoked attack and frankly my lunch, now if you need me i'm going to offer the same power to anyone who wants it but now if you're willing...Get the fuck out of my way.” I levitate her with my newfound power and drop her into an pool of water and Pinkie slaps me.
“That wasnt nice Pathogen.
I slap back but knocks her off her feet and she starts to cry, ‘I dont care if its nice now get up and take me to your home.’
She gets up and starts walking in the way to Sugarcube Corner and i enter the place with an yell of fear from the people inside as i walk up to Pinkies room and I lay down on her bed and closes my eyes.
Pinke looks in the room and sees Pathogen asleep on her bed and she smiles, “Now time make my friends smile!”
She quickly jumps out of the room at blinding speed to the place her friends were and they are still on the ground in despair, “Twilight? I want to talk to you.” She reaches out for Pathogens mind for support to talk to her seriously. She feels her man deflate as she thinks the way he thinks.
Why Pinkie why wont you be with your new friend that dumped Princess Celestia in an lake!”She looks at her with tears in her eyes. ”That monster killed those men and made consume that poor man, look there no blood, the Elements of harmony can't stop him, Pinkie i'm scared of you and him…”
Pinkie lightly slaps twilight but it make an loud smack, “Twilight Hes just an lonely man who all he's known is multiple minds to keep him company even if he was blindfolded and gagged with headphones hes always had someone! Think if you're suddenly alone, you want someone so i let him do what he said, it hurt Celestia did it hurt but then i felt great, i'm going to throw him an party when he wakes and i'm inviting everyone where hes going to explain hi- our powers.”
The mane six get up looking down, “Its like Zeroca again expect for me thinking she was just an regular person Pinkie Is our sense of reason, but was killin really the right option?”
Pinkie turns around and starts to skip her hair fluffy again. “Hes also smarter than you Twilight, tr taking an conversation with him about genetics and youll be available to fill an library worth of knowledge, or you could just ask me cause we share each other's thoughts and memories, so i'm the egghead of the group now!” She giggles and Everyone's jaw drops to the ground as Pinkie skips off to SugarCube Corner faster than Rainbow Dash can fly as she breaks down the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Twilight looked at the ground, “This is all my fault, Pinkie wouldn't be ‘Evolved’ if i just did something to him before he got to her!”
Fluttershy put her hand on Twilight’s back, “By the way Pinkie told us he was in shock from being alone in such an way, i'm sure hes an good person when you get to know him hes just feeling bad right now…” Her voice not over an whisper as she looks at her friend worried
“He slapped her almost across town! You dont do that with friends! But the way she described the mental link it sound like they share experiences, what is he if he's willing to slap himself across an town?” Twilight begins to sob tears falling in the soil.
Rainbow stand in front of her with an disapproving frown on her face, “Twilight stand up and snap out of it, you are not being you! Go in there and make peace with the thing before it kills us all!”
Rarity goes and pets her shoulder, “Darling he gave me an present out of the bottom of his heart he has the ability to be kind, just need to talk to him.” She runs her finger over the slik smiling.
Applejack stand beside her, “We all will go in there and talk to him, if Pinkie can we all can, agreed?”
The other four girls nod smiling and help Twilight up smiling, “We are the Elements of Harmony, he can't be any worse than the changelings!”
Twilight smiles and get up and walks into Sugarcube corner and sees Pathogen sitting on an stool slowly eating an sunday talking to Pinkie. Suddenly he leans over and kisses her and the immediate response form each girl
Rarity falls over but floats an couch to her before she hits the ground
Rainbow balls up her fist wanting to hit Pathogen.
Fluttershy looks at the ground meekly and blushes deeply.
Applejack just stares.
All the girls beside Fluttershy yell at pinkie, “The hell Pinkie the worst threat to Equestria and you are in here kissing him?!?”
Pinkie shakes her head an large blush played across it, “Its an way Evolved share memories and powers clearly...Besides hes handsome and you can not argue with me…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I stare at the girls and sigh as i stand up and look at Pinkie, “Should i go and you and your friends can talk?”
The girl named Twilight looks me in the eyes and speaks up, “Actually we want to talk to you...About terms to yo turning others in your kind…” She looks down in defeat. ”We can't defeat you so will you be our friend?”
I walk to her and grip her around her neck with my hands bring her level to my eyes. “I will never be friends with you or anyone here unless they become an Evolved got it?” She nods and i release her and she gasp for air as Pinkie looks at me. “Yes Pinkie i know i'm antisocial and if you dare throw me an part i'm throwing as far as i can.”
That seemed to shut her up and she grabs my arm, “Just talk to them and you'll see their not so bad.” I nod and sigh an large front scribbled across my face as i whipfist an chair over to me making the other girls gaspas Pinkie does the same.
“Can you please stop that its scary..”Fluttershy looks on the verge of tears. “If you don’t mind…” She looks down meekly and plays with the helm of her shirt.
I look Twilight in the eye annoyed, “So you want to talk, talk.”
“Y-yes.” She brings an chair into the middle of the room in front of mine and she sighs. “If you want to live here peacefully what is your special talent?”
“What does my special talent involved with living peacfully? I have no need for food, i dont shit or piss or any need for water.”
Twilight looks at him blindly, “Then do you reproduce?”
“Not in the conventional way. What i did to Pinkie in my culture makes her my daughter in an way, we can have sex and have children with the sum of our power...In fact that was how i was born.”
“H-how do get stronger because Pinkie is so weak compared to you…”
“Every eloved has an set limit of times he or her has to consume something by its genetic makeup, mine is one consume of the average human while most are 100, i've consumed about 1 ,256 men, women, and children.”
At the mention of children the girls including Pinkie look at me as an monster in need of training, “Did the childs die painlessly?” I'm surprised as the pink haired girl speaks up and looks me dead in the eye and i nod.
“If thats all i need to rest or consume more, Pinkie were taking an walk in the woods.” I get up and push the girls aside and walk down the street with an energetic Pinkie Pie next to me.
“So pathogen why are we going to the everfree forest?”
I look her in the eyes, “For lunch.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pinkie starts to look worried, ‘I'm going to have to kill don't I, I do not want to kill.’
She hears Pathogen’s voice but it seemed like a whisper in her head, ‘You must kill to progress your powers, to make you stronger so no one may hurt you, but do not worry I will protect you.’
Pinkie begins to think about her powers, ‘Pathogen which power should i use?’
‘The blade is the best overall mutation, it has power, speed, skill and precision, the most brutal of the Evolved prepare the hammer fist but for me they are too large and don't hit fist enough but sometimes they are useful, the whipfist is an far off tool built for dealing with multiple enemies but still have grace to it and to grab far off objects, the evolved who like to keep their original shape to empower fear in other use muscle mass and is by far the most stealthy power, tendrils are for the most sadistic and the claws are an quicker but less powerful version of the blade.’
‘So whats your pick Pinkie?’
‘Muscle mass...I can have this on at all times and no one will know, its like i'm stronger all the time, strong enough to protect my friends!’
‘Yea noble sentiment i'll tell you an few stories how easy those are to twist.’ Pathogen laughs and she reaches an clearing, ‘Concrete on your limbs, feel and create power in them and the power should take care of the rest.’ She feels her power increase and she punches an few times and there just an blur to her as they pluse an eerie red.
In front of her is an very angry manticore, ‘Approach it with your arms ready to strike...i recommend to tear of its tail at the first chance you get.’ She walks to the manticore in an stance she once saw for an fight in the shop.
The manticore raised its paw which pinkie countered by dodging it and delivering an uppercut to its jaw knocking it on its back two legs and she bounces up and down happily, “Pathogen look i-” The manticore came back down tearing the dress she was wearing. Her hair deflates and she starts to cry as her left arm turn to an tendril and her right to an large unkempt blade, “Rarity made me this dress, it was an gift from my friend and you RUINED IT!” She hits the front two paws to the ground keeping it still as the tal shoots toward her.
She side steps and raises her arm and quickly cuts it off, the manticore roars in pain as its back paws are held down by tendrils, “Now its time for payback!” Pinkie jumps in the hair and does an flip as she bring the blade down on the beast easily cutting it in half.
‘Pinkie consume it now.” She does as told and presses both her hands to the beast two half as tendrils come out her hands and quickly consumes the creature.
Her hair flaps in the wind hanging like it dead against her face. She looks at the ground crying, “I-i killed something, an living being and i just killed it!” She collapses to her knees crying as she watches Pathogen walk up to her and hug her.
“You may go home if you wish i need to take care of the hydra problem your having in that bog.”
“Pathogen what do i mean to you? Am i just an new toy to play with! To shape in the image you seek fit!”
“No Pinkie your family, to me your my daughter and i want to help you protect your friends even if it changes you ill always be here, now go home and be with your friends.”
She looks her blood stained hands and gets up and walks to her home and friends wanting to break down crying. She starts to run to the treehouse so Twilight can comfort her. She stops in front of the door and knocks on it lightly making creaks on the wood. “Twilight can i talk to you please?”
She hears from inside Twilight's voice, “You are knocking on my door Pinkie what's wrong?” Twilights opens the door and looks at Pinkies bloodstained hands and tore up dress, “What happened to you Pinkie? Did Pathogen hurt you!”
“No Twilight we got jumped by an manticore and… I killed it with my own two hands…” She lays her head down on twilights shoulder her arms pulsing red form the muscle mass still being active. “The part about it is i enjoyed killing it, i'm afraid of what i'm becoming…”
“Ask him.”
“What?”
“Ask Pathogen what you are becoming Pinkie…”
“Hes busy right now and if i distract him he might get hurt…”
“What is he doing Pinkie.” She looks at he and says that with an firm voice.
“Something about an hydra in an bog…” Her eyes go wide as she as light as she can hugs Twilight but an squeaks emits from her. “I gotta go home and wash this off and vist Rarity for an new dress, Bye Twilight.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I look at the towering multiheaded lizard that is blocking my path, “So you are an Hydra?” The response i get is an collective roar form it as i ai y finger at one the eyes and hollow out my finger and fill it with methane and ignite it making an finger gun as the finger turns into an spiked blutte that shoot their eyes as i hit each eye in quick session.
It fails its head around from the sudden blindness as i think up an long blade cross over with an saw on my right arm and my left an regular sharp blade with an bigger gap to cut off their heads.
I hack the things left leg making it fall down as i cut open an hole in its chest and drop into it then i unleash an devastator making it look like i was eaten but i unleash an wave of tendrils eating it inside out and i gasp out loud as ancient knowledge floods my mind.
“Watch out Luna and Celestia i'm going to give you an visit.
Shout out to Corruption for this chapter.
I walk back into town accompanied by an few people in the street. ‘Pinkie where are you.’
‘I-i'm with by friends on an picnic Pathogen…’
‘I'm going to Canterlot to talk to the royal sisters, tell your friends if they wish to come but i'm not waiting.’ He jumps high in the air and grows leather wings out my back and began to fly to Canterlot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pinkie sighs an she looks at the girls, “Girls bad news.” She chokes on her words as she looks at them.
“What is it Pinkie?” Twilight looks at Pinkie worried.
“Pathogen is going to Canterlot.” Pinkie hides behind her hair smiling happily, “Lets go watch as he kills anyone who gets in his way!”
Pinkie gets up and walks to the train station and sighs, “I hope we get there first it would suck to see all the royal guard die in one of his fits.”
The girls look at her worried, “Sugarcube how can you say that so...calmly.”
“Maybe cause I share an hive mind with him, I know his kindness, his rage, and most frightening is when he's calm…Thats when hes scary cause if he thinks you are in his way i feel sorry for you.” Pinkie said all that with an grin on her face.
The girls look at Pinkie worried so Twilight buys them tickets to Canterlot. "Girls how are we going to explain what happened to Pinkie?”
Pinkie starts bouncing up and down, “Lets just tell them! or we can show them!”She morphs her arm into an blade making the girls stifle an scream.
“Pinkie please change back to normal, it’s already crazy enough with Pathogen around and we have to stop myself from vomiting all over the place.” Applejack hugs her and smiles, “And ill Pinkie Pie promise ill bake you some apple pie.”
Pinkies arms morph back but still pulse the red of muscle mass and her hair springs up, “YAY i love your apple pie, in fact i'm throw an party for your apple pie! And an party to welcome Pathogen!”
They get in the train and sigh as they lay on the beds, “Do you girls think Celestia will kill me?”
“Heavens no darling! Celestia isn't as far as unrefined to do something at brutal as that!”
“...I hope you are right cause most people are scared of change and the unknown, like you all are scared of Pathogen cause you dont know how sweet he is and how kind he can be!”
The girls go quiet and surprisingly Fluttershy ask, “Do you like him?”
“Of course i like him he is my friend!”
“I mean like like…” She squeaks and hides under her hair, “I'm sorry for asking…”
“I'm not sure, i view him more as an father then anything, he said that was normal for an Evolved to feel like that towards the one who changes them.”
The train stops and they walk into the platform and sighs as people steal glances at Pinkie, “Girls ill run up ahead and tell the Princesses that were here.” Twilight teleport off leaving the five girls to walk to the castle and not an word is spoken between them but Pinkie pie hymns happily.
They enter the castle and walk to the royal chambers and they see Celestia standing next to Luna the two sisters looking beautiful next to each other and all the girls bow expect Pinkie, “Sorry Princesses Pathogen says not to bow to anyone expect him or an higher and he doesn't consider you an higher power so yea...“
The solar diarch smiles at Pinkie, “So whats this Pathogen like, Twilight been telling me all about what he done and what he did to my guards. Can you show me those powers?”
Pinkie morphs her arms into blades as long as she is and her body is pulsing an eerie red, “This is our power, we can change our bodies in anyway we want.”
She changes back to her normal body and smiles, “He’s really kind to me and sweet, its weird why everyone sees him as mean.”
This time Luna speaks up looking at her loyal subject, “Your powers are truly amazing but hey frighten our subjects so please refine for using them, You truly are the future…”
Celestia looks at Luna eyeing her, “Girls can you leave i need to talk to my sister about this matter.”
Most the girls bow before turning around and leaving the throne room.
“How is that the future Luna! It involves killing and consuming other to become powerful!”
“So what? Arent you tired of not having other friends for all your immortal life?!?”
“Yes i am Luna but this not the way, we must met this Pathogen and arrest him for murder!”
“What they said was self defense or are you just scared to embrace something thats not rainbows and sunshine!”
“Its nothing but murder and things that make people evil! What he is virus like his name and needs to be cleansed by the light!”
“No you are going to embrace the darkness for once Celestia, in fact i'm going to ask him to change me!”
The two sister storm off in opposite directions only to met when Pathogen arrives.
I continue to fly till i reach the outskirts and i fold in the wings and just drop and land on a vendor destroying it in a furry of splinters and what was a wide variety of fruit.
The vendor looks in horror as his cart is destroyed and the being that destroyed his cart is walking away so he does what a mad human does...scream at person who crushed it.
I notice a yelling local and morph my left arm into a blade and my right into claws and walk up to him as my body pluses a eerie red. "Problem?"
The vender words are lost in his mouth as a monster walks up to him and his body changes, "N-no sir no problem."
"Good." I craft my arms into scythes and walk to the castle smiling with a sadist smile, 'Pinkie are the princesses expecting me?'
I feel her mind smile at this, 'Yes they are Pathogen...It'll be a warm welcome.'
'First impressions, lets make them count.' I start to run picking up speed as i near the castle gate and harden my skin into a black shell with multiple spikes emerging form my back.
I crash through the gate and waiting for me is at a quick count atleast a thousand guards, "You are under arrest for murder, assault, and property damage. Surrender peaceful now!"
"No im doing what i want cause you cant stop me."
"Mages forward and attack!" Atleast one-third of the people step forward and unleash a fury of flames turning the ground around me to glass.
As the flames disposes i walk forward out of the flaming grass cracking my neck as i look them in the eyes smiling, "That was weak if you want flames." My arm fills with methane and i strike it on my armor and it spits out flames as i aim it toward the crowd burning them alive and the armor melts in their skin as i laugh. "Who's next?"
The guards with wings fly toward me spears out and i become a porcupine but i remove them one by one as the guards start to shiver and i reveal my wings and change to both tendrils as i ground each of the flying guards."Looks like your grounded. Ill deal with you all after i deal with the rest."
All the guards with swords of all length and size slash and stab but i stab each of them in the stomach with my claws as i block and snap their blades."Princesses are you watching as i kill all who attack me? Why not join me and stop all this! I hate killing but if someone attacks me i will kill them."
The Princesses watch as Pathogen turns his arm into a scythe and cut the head off each and every trapped guard and tendrils flood the yard and the bodies are gone as he collapses to the ground holding his head but gets up and jumps up to their balcony.
Celestia steps forward shaking as the air around her shining brilliantly, "Your rampage will stop here! You mercilessly killed those guards and dare to speak to us in just a disrespectful way!" Tears are in her eyes as she fires a beam of pure energy hitting me square in the chest.
After the flash of energy the mane six and Luna find Celestia being held up by her neck and a hole straight through Pathogens chest. "As Pinkie told you need to destroy every cell in my body to kill me at this state." I aim my blade about to ram it in her stomach when a extreamly loud voice screams.
"Stop! And ill let you turn me if you just let her live!" I drop Celestia and walk up to the other princess.
"Your offer is accepted but you'll experience the worst pain in your life but are rewarded with power and a hive mind, its like sharing part of your mind with me and Pinkie. We will know everything you know and we can talk to each other across worlds, do you accept those terms and wish to continue?"
She nods and stands up straight, "We accept those terms and wi-" Shes cut off by me stabbing her stomach and i release her and she bows to me, "Why are we bowing to you?"
"Cause your body knows who your god is and wish not to anger him. I will need to monitor you and arrange your first kill with your mew powers but ill not grant you them all like i did Pinkie, you will need to work for them."
"Yes Pathogen..." I respond by kicking Celestia into a wall breaking her arms and legs.
I then pick her up and squeeze her neck and kick her into another wall breaking all her ribs. I stop short of killing her with hate in my eyes, "What you did to Luna was evil and cruel! And I'm not talking about sending her to the moon Im talking about the pain and suffering she feels around you and you don't even notice! The only person i met kinder then her is that girl with pink hair. You should hate yourself and all this pain is too good for you!"
I walk away tugging on Luna's arm and breaths in and out to calm down. "Im sorry i let my emotions take control, please show me to a guest room i have much to think about..."
Luna takes my hand and leads me to a room, a beautiful room with polished marble floors and walls and a beautiful bed.
'Thank you Luna you may now attend to your sister if you wish.'
Luna jumps and looks at me, "But thou mouth haven't moved, and no telepathy spell has been cast!"
'This is how we Evolved speak, its called a hive mind, just think in your head and think talking to me.'
'Like this?'
'Yes like this Luna.' I smile warmly at her.
'I-im going to attend to my sister now.' With a flash of light she is gone and i lay on my bed and start to think.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Both Luna and Pinkie start to hear a voice and notice it Pathogen and he sounds not like normal, "Pinkie, Luna drop everything and come to my room i need to talk to you all about the Evolved...I need you Luna to publicly announce you turned on your own will and wish for others to do the same.'
Both girls rush to my room and im sitting on the bed only in boxers and i sigh, "Girls we need to improve my public image so others will be Evolved on their own will."
"We could start a awareness program as a active evolution or say its for there own good!" Luna smiles at her own idea.
"Pinkie any ideas form you? "We could throw a party! We could invite everyone and show them our powers!"
"Both of them are very good ideas but we also need to make sure their not scared, do you girls know your shape shifting powers?"
They both shout out loud, "Like changeling?!?"
"Im going to assume you mean a race that can change their appearance then yes like changelings." I remeb a young happy girl i consumed and i shrink to smaller then them with long golden hair and pale hair and the girls gasp.
Pinkie looks he over and hugs he tight, "Your adorable! You look like your 15 year old girl!"
My voice comes out as a cute high pitch matching my appearance, "Yes Pinkie but i killed this girl to become her, you must consume a whole being to look like them."
Both the girls go quiet and look at me crying, "Pinkie you remember that guard i made you consume, that his shape."
She nods and transforms into a well built male, "Now what Pathogen...I remember his whole life..."
By this time Luna faints form shock and i kick her awake, "Im assuming your subjects are willing to die for you?"
"Y-yes they are that loyal..."
"Good now Pinkie go plan that party while me and Luna talk."
Pinkie nods and skips off happily.
I sigh, "Luna the ones who are going to step up to be changed will be young girls and boys, most likely ones that love you more then your sister."
She looks me in the eyes, "Yes i know...Can you improve our army and homes? By creating the things form your world?"
"No i will not, you have your duty now do it..."
"Ill make the anoucment later tomorrow in the courts."
Princess Celestia approaches the stand fully healed, ‘So they have regenerative powers too? Luna might be an hard one to kill even for Mercer.’
“My loyal subject i assembled this court for one purpose...to tell you and welcome an new species they they quote “Evolves” one species into their...And my sister vontaily became one to establish diplomatic relations with this man who came here and here he is Pathogen!” I change form one the royal guards making them take up arms and an collective gasp from all around.
“I am Pathogen and i'm still pissed at your country for attacking me without me provoking you and for that i will hurt your leader.” I walk up to Celestia who raises her shields and i plant my foot fim on her chest and smiles, “Nice try but i consumed enough mages to know how to get around shields.” I jump up and kick her into an wall with an bone splitting crunch and sees Luna crying so i hug her tight and pet her head, “It ok Lulu i just broke her back nothing to worry about. Yesterday i broke almost all her bones yet she lived and walked today so she can take an beating.”
“But you're hurting my sister! Pinkie said you have kindness in your heart why don't you show it more?”
“Cause where i come form kindness is an quick way to die.” I walk away from her and turn to the audience, “I'll tell you where i come from and what i can do, then you have an choice, to become like me...Evolved or be pitiful and normal like everyone else, you’ll be free from old age, you'll be free from war cause we share an hive mind, and who would want to go to war against their own brother and sister?”
Most people glance at each other rubbing their arm considering the possibility when an young girl steps forward… form looks of her orange skin and purple hair she looks brave and ready so i flip over to her showing off, “This pain is worse than childbirth, are you ready for it?”
“Ive had enough with people pushing me around and making me feel bad, i will be welcomed wont I?”
“This is an family and ill give you 10 seconds to prepare for the pain.” 10...She balls her hands into fist and smiles.
9 “Thank you for being my family.”
8 “No thanks needed i just want to share this wonder.”
7 “Pathogen your not going to change the girl are you?”
6 “She asked so ill deliver.”
5 “But its just an girl!”
4 ”I was born like this Luna now be quiet or ill have to punish you.”
3 “What you going to do hit me into an wall like Celestia?
2 “Yes actully.”
1 I turn my hand into long blade fingers.
0 I stab the girl lifting her off the ground as i let the virus spread into her system.
The girl holds my arm looking at me in dismay as i retract my arm letting her fall to the ground and to wound heal by thin tendrils that heals the wound, ‘Welcome to the hivemind, think like your speaking to me and ill hear you.’
‘Like this?’
‘Yes like this now you are here with me, Luna, and Pinkie, what is your name?’
‘Scootaloo.’
‘Well Scootaloo welcome to the hive mind, ask me or Pinkie about your powers and follow my lead.’ “The girl Scootaloo is successfully, can i get an royal guard in here?” AN brave soldier walks up shaking a little, “Scootaloo punch him in the chest as hard as you can right in the armour.”
“Why?”
“Do it Scootaloo.”
She nods fearfully and punches his armour going straight through it and knocking him into the air an few yards back, “We need an medic he has broken ribs and possibly an punctured lung.”
A few nurses rush out and carry him out as Scootaloo looks at her hand in amazement, “Now try to punch me in the same way.” She punches me in the chest and i don't move an inch then i flick her and she flies backward, across the hall and i smile, “If i can do that to a fellow Evolved what do you think i can do to an regular human.”
They all gasp as Scoots glares at me, ‘Ow what was that for?’
‘Dont worry i didnt hit you as hard as i can because if i did i would of taken your head off.’
‘Will i become as powerful as you?’
‘Maybe but i killed thousands of people to get this power, and i'm still killing, you can kill but you must make them look like they disappeared before you consume them.’
‘Cant i just kil wild animals?’
‘Yes you can ill take you girls out hunting soon.’
I look at the crowd and sighs, “Anyone else wish to join?’
Noone steps forward, in fact they all run away in fear and terror of this monster thats scary, “Luna, Scoots am i scary?”
They both smile and scream, “You make nightmare moon look like an puppy!”
“Yes?”
“YES!”
I laugh and smile as pinkie bounces in and randomly pulls out an cannon, “Pinkie what are you doing?”
“I'm launching my party cannon duh dummy.”
“Why?”
“To have an welcome party for you duh!”
“...Pinkie i don't like parties…”
“Youve never had an PINKIE PIE PARTY.”
“Fine Pinkie ill see if i like yur party but if i don't i'm destroying the set.”
“Okie dokie loki!”
She starts to fire an canon everywhere decorating the area with streamers and banners saying, “Welcome Pathogen and other Evolved.”
“I already regret this.”
Luna walks up to me and places her hand on my shoulder, “Pinkie’s parties are the best in the land so don't worry about it being bad just worry about how big its going to be with her Evolved skills.”
I laugh a little, “I liked that pun it was funny.”
Pathogen the Party Animal
I look at all the people that turned up for the party, “Wow this is all cause its one of Pinkie’s parties?” I locate the stage and walk up there with a deafening dubstep blaring and i finding out my body is slightly enjoying this as i tap my foot and make both my arms to claws and let out an roar of an brawler that dominates the music making everyone jump after seeing me change, “I'm sorry i just let loose.”
I smile as i approach the DJ platform and put on an music disc, “Move off let me try.” I turn my hands to normal and start spinning the disc making the noise as i suddenly stop it and let the DJ take over, “I got bored.”
I jump in the crowd turning into an regular person and i smile as i arroch the princess and tap her shoulder, “Hey Luna look at me no one knows its me!”
“Pathogen ho-” She tugs on my skin expecting it to come off like an coat but it stays firm, “Oh my Celestia you can shapeshift, i can shapeshift, how do i shapeshift.”
“You have to kill someone and consume their bodies, Pinkie can be an guard i made her consume and your right Pinkies parties are awesome!”
Luna look dumbstruck as i jump in the air as high as i can and fall on the stage and grabs the mic, “Hello all i'm Pathogen and i wanna crash this part so if you don't mind i need to take your host for an bit.”
I shape my arm into an whipfist and i grab her by the waist and jump into the tower. “Pinkie what can i do to make the party better?”
“People always enjoy an good fight, just don't kill anyone ok? The only way someone can die at one my parties is from too much enjoyment!”
‘Luna.’
‘Yes Pathogen.’
‘Ill be on the stage, send all the guards you can with lethal equipment to try to kill me, i promise not to kill them just knock them unconscious.”
“Why Pathogen?!?”
“Cause no party is complete without an fight. Its an saying from my world.”
“....Ok Pathogen there sent and with attack on sight, be careful with not harming them…”
I jump on the stage an an squad of soldiers along with some people from the crowd are on the stage with knifes and i smile and point at the DJ, “Put on an song to kick there asses to.” She puts on this.
The first to lunge at me with an lance i grab the tip and break it off in my hands and twirl around the stick and jab him an few times in the gut before jumping in an circle bringing the wood shaft on his head and it shatters. Another guard tries to stab me in the gut with an sword and i break it in half and use the blunt side of the sword to hit hi over the head the i kick his body up and lanh it at the others knocking out an few guards, ‘Four more, time to let them see speed.’ I active muscle mass and i start to glow an faint red as i punch one guard in the stomach making his armour to shatter and knock him into an crowd as he rolls around in pain.
I step in front of another one and side kick him knocking him into an wall and grabs his lane and uses it to knock another dude over the head and i run up to the last one and pick him up before punting him into the crowd like an football.
“Now that was fun! Luna come up here so we can fist fight!” He flashes her an sadistic grin as he rolls his shoulders getting ready for an good fight. “Luna you are to try to kill me in any way you can but all i will render you knocked out like your guards.”
Theres cheers from the crowd, “You rock Luna! Kick his ass! Show him the dark side of the moon!”
I nod my head as luna starts to blaze with magic and punches me in the face making me drag back an few feet and all i do is smile as I punch her in the gut then knee her in the face then grab her foot and spins round and round till i let her fly into an stone building and theres cheers all over. I turn around then i feel an foot on my back and knocks me back an few feet.
“Ow that stung Luna now i got to get serious.” Almost all there hope drains out of her face as i pick her up by the neck and slams her into the stand cracking the wood and i punch her in the air before flying high in the air and drops to the place where shes falling with an fist out and we make an crater deep in the Earth and i get out with her over my shoulder and i'm smiling. “ So thats how it ends, that was really fun, Pinkie i want candy now!”
Everyone is looking at me in fear as i give Luna to an gaurd and pets her as shes healing already.
“Pathogen.” It Scootaloo and her eyes are wide. “That was awesome! How do you do all that?”
“You're not ready kid, when you turn 18 ill let you have th to hunt but go back to your normal life ok?” She nods happily and runs off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I transform into a my favritoe female form, pale s skin with blood red hair so i walk up to Pinkie and tap her shoulder, "Miss Pinkie Pie wheres your friend Pathogen?"
"I dont know, who are you any way...Im meeting so many new people!" She bounces with joy.
"My name is Ruby and i just wanna say something." I flick her nose and laughs and my voice returns to normal. "Ive always wanted to prank someone!"
Pinkie smiles widly and bounces up and down, "I cant belive your so open that you pranked me!" She starts to giggle.
"Pinkie is it opem mic?"
"Open mic?"
"Where anyone can go up and sing, your to tell me you never had open mic!"
She shakes her head and i run up on stage to make it look like i appeared out of nowhere and i smile, "I got a sad little song for all you but its beatiful im its own way, give it up for Red Like Roses."
"Red like roses fills my dream with the place you lay.
White is cold and always yearning, burnded by a royal test.
Black the beast decends form the shadows.
Yellow beatuy burns GOLD."
I nod change back to my normal form with a yell, "Its a changling!"
"No i just have that power, now what the hell is a changling."i flick my eyes to heat vision amd see a blue human so i pounce on it bring my blade arm to its neck and i feel its rough under its skin.
I bring up my arm and cuts its head off so the spell wares off and im shocked yet pleased by this as i consume it and smiles, "Another hive mind in Equstira...Unacpectable..." I get on the stage and shout in the mic, "Everyone get on the ground, those who do not complay will be killed by me!" Immeadtly everyone drop to the ground and i scan the crowd for more and see three, 'Luna, Pinkie i see three changlings, use your heat vision to find them and we pounce on three.'
The girls take to the sky and we fall on our pray like cats curshing their skulls under out feet and we then consume our pray, "Girls hunt the city and gairds for more them...Im going hunting."I run and make my bat like wings then take off flaping them to go faster breaking the sound barrir."
While i'm flying i feel Luna chime in my head, ‘Pathogen what are you planning to do?’
‘To kill all the changelings isn't that apparent Luna?’
‘So you care.’
‘Yes i care about my kind when they're not attacking me because i'm different!’
‘You feel left out from the other evolved cause we all have friends, loyal subject, and love and your not use to feeling love...Its pitiful in an way.’
‘Luna dont tread on grounds you don't wish to be, just cause your an Evolved doesn't mean I won't punish you.’
‘Pathogen ill let you go now just know we...killed all the changelings we could find, and against your orders Scootaloo killed three, now shes crying in an coner.’
‘I TOLD HER NOT TO!’
I can feel Luna cringe at me screaming but i breath in and out to calm down, ‘I'll deal with her when i get back i'm at the hive.’
I drop in the building and i see an humanoid bug sitting on an ebony throne with the hive buzzing around. The queen stands up and points at me, “Who the hell are you and how did you find my lair!”
I smile sadistically and point at the ground and changes into an changelings, “My queen i'm ready for orders.” I walk up to her and slap her into an wall as she cowers in fear.
“H-how did you take our shape and how did you hurt me?! ME!”
I change very slowly letting her see the tendrils as i shape my arms into dual blades as i am swarmed by the bugs and they all dog pile one me. She starts to laugh but thousand needles emerge from the pile and the bodies turn to goo and surge into me as i smile and crack my neck, “How you ask? Simply...because...i...am...a…Monster.” I stab her in the stomach and twist it slowly letting her innards be cut and twisted all while the man doing it is smiling at her as i take my hand and place bio matter that shoots off and sticks to an wall hanging her up like an poster but i then decide, “I'm going to kill you quickly now.”
“No please let me live please!”She begins crying as i jump in the air and cuts her in half making all her drones fall dead as i consume her learning how to make hive minds better and faster.
‘Girls i'm coming home.’
Luna responds, ‘Good we would welcome you back and you will e treated as an hero! You single handedly stopped an changeling invasion of epic portion!’
‘It was the same as walking into an hive that needed to be destroyed, that leader of their just screamed in pain as i rip her in half!’
‘Pathogen please stop talking about stuff like that.’
‘Fine but i wanna fight more your guards their fun!’
‘My guards aren't for your entertainment Pathogen!’
‘Yes they are cause ill just kill unless they fight me!’
‘Fine you're only allowed in the training room so i want them alive ok?’
‘Ill use boxing gloves or just pillows.’
I land in the town square and sighs as i see an banner strung across saying, “Welcome Pathogen the hero!” I start to laugh, i laugh hard to the point i fall on the ground crying, “They call me an hero? A HERO!” I roll over still crying, “If anything i'm an anti-hero just like Mercer.” I flick my eyes to infected vision and look around seeing the people through the wall and i motion my hands, “Come out the surprise is ruined, i can see you all.” People rush out their house with an collective awww.
Pinkie pops up behind me making me shift my hands into claws and spin around stopping short of cutting her head off seeing that its just her so i sigh, “Pinkie you should know better then sneak up on me, actually who the hell did you do that?”
Twilight walks beside me placing an hand on my shoulder, “Its best not to question Pinkie and what can she do, i tried for months.”
“She doesn't understand it so nor can I, it sad but true theres things even i don't understand.”
I turn to Twilight and sighs, "Do you have pizza at this party?"
She shakes her head, "Whats a pizza?"
My eye twitched and i sighed again, "Pinkie wheres the nearest place that has dough, tomato sauce and cheese?"
"Donut Joe's place why Pathogen?"
"Im going to cook the town a meal they wont forget! Now lead me there and if he wont allow me to cook in there well you know me!" I flash her a playful smile as we enter a shop and the smell of sweets hits my nose and i knock on the bakers door and he smiles, “Why are you smiling at me?”
“Cause your the one who saved Equestira form the changlings! what you need friend its on the house!”
“I need to use your kitchen.”
“My kitchen? Why my kitchen?”
“So i can make pizzas, move aside...please.”
He moves over and i walk into the kitchen and gathers the ingredients, ‘Luna invite the most well known food critics to ‘Joe’s donuts’.’
‘Why Pathogen please tell me you aren't going to poison them!’
‘No i creating an food of mine i love.’
‘The flesh of your enemies?’
‘...Besides that, it's called pizza and i'm going to cook it for them.’
‘Sure hero of Equestria.’ I could swear i heard her giggle.
A few hours later an few people are gathered in the shop and i severe them my pizza’s and i got oohs, i feel happy then one bit into it and he says, “How have we not thought of this yet?!? Its delicious!”
I walk out and point in the kitchen, “I left the recipe in their with enough copies for everyone...I expect an chain up by the end of the month or i'm going to hunt every one and each of you and your going to watch yourself die.”
Luna tail me and pokes her head back in, “He’s not kidding and i can't stop him.”
This stops most of them from eating and they grab an recipe and runs out the shop but the others just eat more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luna grasp my hand, “You know theres an spell that allows me to look in your memories? But this is when is only one memory...I want to know the pain you burned with living in that hell you tell us.”
“No Luna youre not allowed anywhere near my memories, thats why i blocked they for all the Evolved, i have no childhood, I don't want you to see what my Earth was like.” I ball my hands into fist then i breath out releasing my hand form her’s. “...Can i make an request for the night sky?”
She nods and i look at her, “Acces my mind and look for an night sky, an beautiful one that's crisp and clean.”
“I’ll try to make it like Earth’s night sky, my subject can deal with one night with an new sky.”She stands on her toes and puts her head to mine and after an few minutes she gasp and looks like shes about to cry, “I love Earth’s night sky, it’ll be an challenge to get that nebula just right.” She glances at the main square where everyone's partying, “Go party and ill ask the crowd for an mosh pit style like you had in Earth.”
I laugh as i look at those kind people and imagine them in black leather and spikes as i walk there slowly, “I can probably piss an few people off and knock them out like i id on Earth, ‘Why do i miss that place? All it was kill then consume, maybe its homesick or something like that.’ I laugh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The memory Luna saw
Earth
I walk into an rock moshpit pushing forth an leather jacket and pants with extremely sharp metal spikes on my wrist and an chain with spikes on it around my neck and i lock the door and jump on stage, “Hello shitfaces of this mosh pit i'm itching for an fight and its all you against me! The reason why! Cause i'm bored so i'm giving the band first shot!” I turn around making my eyes blood re and my arms into claws so i can feel me ripping into their flesh. “First shot anything you want it wont do shit against an Evolved you know?” I smile sadistically as they start to beat me with the guitars and i yawn as i grab one them by the head and starts to squeeze then pop as tendrils start to latch on the body and bounds with my body and i crack my neck, “Whos next?”
By this time people are rushing against the door but i sealed it with tendrils but some take up arms and i shift to my left arm claws and my right muscle mass so i glow in that sicking red light and i pounce on the person trying to beat down the doors and i take my claws and plunge it in the ground and two meters in front of me to the ground and ceiling are spikes piring those hearts perfectly and i step over their bodies and then an human steps forward with an pistol and shoots me in the head going clean through my skull and i lean back from the force of the bullet and i fling my head forward shattering his skull as me falls to the floor blood coming out of his mouth and ears i then slice him in half and consumes him and then i turn to the last there, one girl and two guys. “You all are free to go since you survived but you must play an game with me.” I take out an revolver with three bullets in it, and i spin it then slam it in, “One or two are going to escape now lets see whos lucky.” I place the gun in the hand of the girl and she shakily moves it to her head an *click* then i throw her out. The next is an boom and the next is an click. ”You're unlucky my victim”. I punch him in the gut as tendrils collapse him down into my arm and i smile. “Master Mercer the task is complete.” I chime in with an radio.
“You have the night off Pathogen and enjoy yourself.”
I sigh as i reach the crowds edge and i scan it for the pink blur i know to be Pinkie Pie and i jump up and land on her in an awkward state. “Pinkie why did you sense me?” I look in her eyes and get up off her and sigh.
“Why did you jump on me Pathogen?”
“Cause i wanted to get in the middle of the crowd without squashing someone.”
“But you squashed me or am I un squishable! I should jump off the Canterlot towers!”
“No Pinkie please don't just keep throwing your party.”
“Oh yea...WHO WANTS MORE PUNCH!” The crowd roars in agreement.
I start pushing people aside and jump on the stage and take the mic from the DJ, “Ok people we are going to do something called an crowd surf, its where i throw an person and you push them to the edge.” I pick up the blue haired DJ and throws her out and sighs as i look through the digital song list and settles on Monster by Skillet. “Now who all can fight come up on the stage and ill use non lethal force to knock you out, i don't care what you use just use something that can hurt me!”
About five strong looking men get on the stage and one of them an red skinned man with gold hair, ‘Must be an farmer.’ Hes welding an scythe and i sigh as i stand still, “Every one gets an free shot so go at it.” I stand still with my arms out wide smiling like an manic as the red farmer cuts my head off and everyone gasp as my head falls on the ground as the rest my body falls on the ground and turns into an puddle of blood but then my body starts to reconstruct itself from my head and i get up and see most people throw up to this sight of gore and i walk up to the man and brake his scythe in half like an toothpick then simply said said, “Boo.” He stood his ground and i smiled and i flicked him in the noe making an sickening crunching sound and an back flip landing on his front side in an puddle of his own blood at is face and Applejack rushes forward and helps her brother up.
“Why you do that to my brother?”
“He challenged me so i did the logical way to knock him out unharmed...Flick him in the nose!” I start to laugh and raise my hand to the sky and smiles, “You guys wanna see an puppy?” Most the poor suckers nod so i flood my arm with the hunter strand of the virus and cut off my arm but it twist and morphs into an brawler, clear of blood and wit those beautiful red eyes so i kneel down and stach its chin and i have an huge smile on my face so i wrap my arms around it and sighs, “I'm so glad to have you back boy!”
The crowd has either fainted or mouths are wide open in fear and amazement as the giant thing purrs like an kitten so logically Pinkie jumps on the stage and starts to pet it, “Pinkie stop touching Chi!” Chi growls and swipes at her, “Chi stand down!” Chi immediately sits on its haunches and looks at me for instructions, “You got to back sorry Chi im let you out when i have food for you ok?” It nods and and sticks its neck out and i cut off its head and storing its DNA in one cell one my left arm.
Luna walks up to me pissed off so i plug my ears and she uses the royal equestrian voice and throws me back a bit, “WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THAT!”
“It was my brawler its like an puppy to use Infected!” I open my eyes wide when i mention that. I look at her and smiles, “Did i forget to mention we are viruses?” I see her put her arm back it glowing an bright red of the muscle mass and i shrug, “This is going to sting.” Luna literally punches my jaw off and i rub the top of my head and start to laugh as i jam my jaw back on and I sigh as i take the mic. “Do you all want to hear the past of the Evolved?”
I hear an cry of yes, “Well get out an picnic cause this will take awhile.”
Maybe three hours of explaining most the tech and what DNA and RNA is i sigh and sit on the edge of the stage and sighs as i look at the sky and think of home, “So anyone wanting to become infected or Evolved? Evolved sounds an hell of alot better doesn't it? You can't get sick cause your an sickness, you can't die your cells will just regrow and you don't age...unless the virus knows this is not your best bodies children still age, you keep your sanity but there's so many different strands of the virus, Alex Mercer created one where it turns an wimp to an three story tall monster with an arm bigger than its body AND an blade on its arm the same size as mine, he properly called it the Goliath strand, and you know how you kill it? You rip of its normal sized head and just spit in its face.” The first things i notice are the looks of sympathy, they look so sad including Luna she by far looked the saddest, “And you know what, Mercer wanted me to turn you all into mindless infected that one thing. To feed. To feed on each other on animals but i allow you to keep your minds! Your form! Your very souls! I'm not an monster who will rip that away against your will, Twilight has Pinkie changed?”
She shakes her head crying, “She still loves to throw parts but she is more inclined to become withdrawn and go by her persona Pinkamena, but i believe that is an effect of you making her consume someone and by the sound of the way you described the virus you need to feed...Even the Evolved…”
I shake my head and turn my jacket to green, “Meat is an good source but we stay in the sun long enough with enough plant DNA we get enough energy to keep all this up. I really want to peacefully coexist with your kind…”
Celetia flys down and i switch my eyes to infected vision combined with a little Pinkie sense, ‘No threat?’ I walk over to her setting my self in full armour and sigh, “What can i do for you Celestia?”
“You can shake my hand and i could say i heard everything, i would be an tarynet if i didn't allow my people to chose change so i allow it and ill give you an home anywhere in Equestria you want as long as i can use you for military last resort…”
“If you're asking for tech i will not provide it, if you want to deploy me you got to state the reason...In front of all your subjects, those are my terms.”
She looks down and starts to cry, “We are losing an war with the griffins and trouble controlling the dragons…So i ask you to go to the griffin capital and kill all armoured griffins so their tradition will make you the leader of the nation and you hand it over to me, you’ll be an hero to us but something from the pits of hell for them…”
I take her head in my hand makes her look in my eyes, “I can live with that but can you? Ive seen people break, i know how to break them in all ways mental, physical, or i can unleash an verison of the virus on their land but you be safe because my control over them, can you live with that?”
“No i can't.” She collapses and i pat her back and singles for Luna to step beside me, “Can you teleport with her to her bedroom?”
“Yes i can but Pathogen you know you've changed? You’ve changed a lot.” I sigh as the two teleport off and i'm still in my infected vision mode and spot an danger in the crowd with an hood on, ‘Girls i see someone thats an higher threat than Twilight but lower than Luna peior of me infecting her. I'm going to ask them who they are.’
Pinkie chimes in happily, ‘Be safe Pathogen.’
I jump down and walks to him, ‘Nothing can see his face, hood something to hide.’
I walk up to him and he strikes me making his hood fly off and an crown is tattooed on his neck and his skin is an pitch black, “Who dare you make our Princess cry!” He uppercuts he and i see his teeth are shaped like needles so i fly with the force and punch him in the gut.
“I made her cry cause she needed to cry!” I drop my elbow on his back making him fall on the ground but me gets up and coughs up blood and i take an stance but me lunges at me ripping off an piece of my arm, “I'm sorry but this is checkmate.” It hits his stomach acid and out from the ground an spike of biomass shots out of him staking him in this position, “I can save you, i can make you an Evolved but do you want it?”
He spits blood on my face and i make my hands into claws, “Only if you promise to never make an girl cry again.” He gasp for air and i stab him in the stomach and allow the virus to flow in him.
“I can try but i can't promise will you settle for that?” I reclaim the biomass and it releases him and he gasp in air.
“Ill settle for that but what will i do as an evolved now?”
“First fix your teeth you are scaring people and then i need to motiar you for an few days, i'm unsure of the virus on your DNA but or all ill keep track of you and make sure your ok.”
He nods and sighs.
I wake up the next day and got on the street where an army of women in tight suits with straight swords and what looks like uzi’s with extended clips then head one speaks to me, “We have orders to kill all infected with all strands of the T-virus, your infected but not with the T-virus explain.”
“I'm infected with the Mercer Virus, know will you be civil and talk to me, or let me consume one you and I’ll learn all what i need to learn. Show me your powers and ill show you mine.” I'm suddenly hit in the chest by an invisible force but i active my armour and I stand my ground as i shift my hands into claws and pounces on one of them and consumes her and i start to laugh, “Those are the mosters you saw?!? I’ll show you an monster!” I cut off my left arm and it turns to Chi and i point at the side of the line of women and smiles, “Sic them.” He lunges on another girl and i call all the Evolved to my side and suddenly we are an team of 10 blades all in he name to protect Equestria so i turn my arm into an blade and regenerate my arm into claws and i see Chi being shot over and over with multiple swords sticking out of his back and face so i jump on an women, “They're all clones! Lets kill them all!” I cut ones head off and pick up the uzi and opens fire getting headshots each time then i look to my right and see Pinkamena actually tearing off flesh and eating it as she cuts som down, i look to my left and see the man with an crown tattoo ripping through them with beautiful claws as he keeps cuttin down. I turn around bearing the sword in an circle and some manage to dodge, ‘Everyone jump!’ They jump as i bring my fist down on the ground sacrificing biomass to kill them all in one shot, i use the ground devastated that Alex Mercer made but i improved on by adding an croos like at the end and i leave them strapped to their crosses. “Now you know we are better, you are going to tell us about your kind and why you want us dead.” Munching sounds come from behind me as Chi eats some the dead bodies and Pinkamena pets him as i turn my fingers into scalpels, “Its that or i break your, soul, body and mind broken like an twig!” The girl spit in my face as i sigh, “You know what i'll release you and you drop all your weapons and come with me to meet this worlds leader ok?”
All the three women that survived nod and drop their guns and i kick them across the street and i take them off and i smile. “I'm not mean when you get to know me.”
“I’ll never trust infected, by my virus or another, how do you get those powers? By killing an innocent people to evolve your powers?!”
“I only consume who attack me with motives different than mine, I might of been an sadistic killer back on Earth but here!” I expand my arms to show off the town, “I’ve changed but Crowny what's your name?”
The pitch black male points to himself, “You mean me? Its Corruption.”
“Ok Corruption you guard the left on i got the original and Pinkamena you take the one on the right lets go!”
‘Luna i'm bring some attackers up to the place for torture, met us by the gate and we are coming in full armour.’ I tear off the gate and escorts the three girls in and head them to Luna’s chambers and she lays ther on her bed and i snap my finger annoyed at her, “Luna why did you not battle with us?”
“I was in-”
“NO...no there is no excuse, i don’t care if its your first in bed, I don't care if your leg is broken, I don't care if your back is broken when i summon you you come ready for battle...Understand?”
She nods meekly and the lead girl glares at her, “You are the leader of this lace so why are you infected?”
“The Mistress of the Moon does not have to explain this to you the question is why are you infected without Pathogen's knowledge and where do you come from.” Her voice changed from the kind one i know of to the one of assertive and in charge and i just smiled.
“Our official name is project Alice, our DNA is the only one capable of taming the T-virus, so we are faster, stronger, and faster healing powers. So they cloned my DNA into multiple clones that you killed.” She sneered at me. “We brought one specimen of the virus
She nods, “Only if you can control it Pathogen.”
‘Alice’ speaks up, “A name fitting of an living Virus.”
“I took that as persona to fit the local names, I’ll tell ya’ll my real name when i trust you enough.” I wave my hand dismissively but then it hit me, “You are talking about those who eat to consume?” Alice nods and i sigh but she tilts her head, “How did you know?”
“I gain the memories and powers of those who i consume but i'm staying with my loved claws and i'm going hunting.”
‘Scoots you and your friends can come back now.’ I sigh as i look at the tree house and i run into the three little things looking at me with such awe in their eyes then i notice my arms are still pulsing red so i calm down a little and they turn back to normal then the white one speaks up, “How did you do all that?! It was awesome!”
“It’s called the intent to kill, its something you can't teach but you learn without knowing it. You may try to kill me but it’ll just be an annoyance to me.”
Appleboom steps forward smiling, “Can you infect me? Me and Sweetie Bell really want it so we can better our lives, please Pathogen?”
I kneel down to her and sigh, “Have you asked your family? All your friends? Are you ok with being hated? Are you ok in all rights to be an monster? Form my world we were feared as monsters, terrorist, everything that everyone hates and i still feel like thats how i'm treated so are you girls ok with that?”
Scootaloo steps forward and hugs me, “Dad you are none of those things, you are different but in an good way, you represent change for the people here, You change so much things that most are scared of it, you can't help that, Luna can’t help that, not even Celestia can change that but you are the thing that they fear and admire, its never going to change but there will be people who will embrace it like me and my friends, maybe our whole generation but one thing is assured...You are awesome.” She finishes her mini rant with an loving smile that i return turning my hands to claws and approach the girls in the middle of an crowd.
“This will hurt. This will be your heart stopping, dying then coming back to life are you ready for that?”
They both nod and i stab them through the gut and pump the virus into them and i feel them slowly convert and when its finished i pull my claws out and see them smile as the wounds close up and fresh skin is where i stabbed so i smile. “Your Evolved now, you will age till your bodies prime and thats different for everyone like mine was 27.”
I was ignoring the crowds reaction of shock over me doing that, “You girls know what i'm capable of right?”
They all nod as i pick them up, “We are going to train you guys to be my soldiers, do you girls want that?”
They nod happily.
“So you three girls are my personal assault team?”
Applebloom looks at me with her head tilted, “Assault team?”
“Your an team that will work together to accomplish things i want, like protecting the Princess's along with personal training from me.” I swear their eyes lit up like fireworks i could almost hear the deafening booms. “But that means you’ll be highly skilled killers. Your success will be rated by your body count and this training will be worse than the royal guards and you will be available to kill one in an snap of an finger.” I snap my fingers and an piece of biomater is thrown to an building and uses the attack dubbed ‘Black Hole’ to make an hole in the wall the size of an fist in the wall, “Like that would of killed someone by destroying their heart, that requires extreme control of your biomass but Scootaloo is farther along then you two.”
I start to run my home, the building of pulsing re biomass tendrils that make soft and contrable matter, for an Evolved its like living in an house of play-dough. I place the awe struck girls in an line and smiles at them as i make my hands into claws and wave the perfect claws that gleam off all light that hits them as i smile at them and point to Scootaloo who morphed her hands into claws as the same, “Girls imagine your fingers are beautiful bendable knives that can cut anything and make your body make them.” I step forward to Scootaloo who lunges at me yelling and i tap her head stopping her. “Quiter if you were infiltrating an place that would give away your presence and make it an hell of alot harder to finish your mission.”
Sweetie Bell turns her hands to claws and eeps as they bend like normal finger making her look at them hesitantly, “Pathogen why are my claws so dull and yours so sharp? Really thats unfair.”
“The reason why is cause I’ve killed people and used their DNA to make them sharper by coding them to thin down but stay strong, like fingernails and the only way you could do that is with all that spare DNA you get, all the other things are proceed for energy and to help heal your body, believe it or not i can be killed by hacking me to pieces and then burning all the goo that is left behind.”
“Why tell us that when you gave away the way to kill you?” Applebloom finally gets her claws and gasp as Scootaloo stabs me in the hand then i grab her and throw her into an wall.
“Cause i'm hiding the real way to kill for Evolved can only do, this way i can kill Luna if i need to and take her place.”
Sweetie Bell pounces on me but her claws slide right off not making an prick on my skin as i kick her into an wall, “Bell use your fist on me for now till you consumed more so you can pierce my skin.”
Much to my surprise Applebloom hits me with an hammerfist sending me in the air an few inches which i respond to by turning my hands to normal and balls my hands together and bringing it down on her back and kicking her into an wall.
“Now girls find what of the base five powers suit you best, for Applebloom its hammerfist for their size and power, for Scootaloo its claws for speed and blade for power, Sweetie bell i sa-” I feel thousands tiny blades rip across my back so i grab it and pull Sweetie Bell to he and holds her by her neck, “I was about to say whipfist but you got the idea already.”
I jump back smiling, “Speed, Precision, and Strength, the perfect team and ill soon teach you how to know what enemy to attack with each skill.” I take three hairs from my head and use each to create an brawler and point to the three, “Kill them and consume them, Applebloom will have the hardest time killing them but Scootaloo will have the easiest.”
Scootaloo killed and consumed hers in 10 seconds.
Sweetie Bell 15 seconds.
Applebloom 25 seconds.
“Good times girls but i will need to teach you also how to use powers outside your comfort zone, Scootaloo use hammerfist same for you Bell. Applebloom use claws and we will do it again.
I summon three more and the girls attack again.
Scootaloo 50 seconds.
Sweetie Bell 1:15 seconds.
Applebloom 40 seconds.
Three weeks later
Sweetie Bell burst through the front door eyes open in fear, “Pathogen, Scootaloo i got bad news! There has been reports of viral outbreaks, the dead getting back up, Luna and Celestia want you at the treehouse ASAP.”
“Go get Applebloom its time to put your guys limited training to the test.” She does an mock salute and runs off then I motion for Scoots to get on my back so she hops on and i focus all my energy to my legs and takes off easily passing Sweetie Bell as i run at her pace and put Scootaloo down, “Scootaloo contact me through the hive mind when you three girls are together.” I jump leaving them without time to say anything to me and i just smile as i jump through the trees and imagine getting to go at it with infected, ‘No holding back, so much to consume...YES.’ I land in front of the tree house and open the door and is met by multiple angry looking people staring at me, “I have nothing to do with the outbreaks I've been too busy training Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Bell to be my strike team.”
Now i have even more pissed off people glaring at me but the one i think is called Rarity broke down crying and i smile at that. “So give me the location of the zombies so i can go get them.”
The girl Alice in her tight outfit steps forward, “Those are zombies from my virus not your, they can only be killed by extreme impact to the brain or top of the spinal column.”
“So head shots?”
“Or beheading. Or in your cause complete cellular breakdown by your term of consuming.”
“How many are infected?” I lean against the wall smiling knocking on the wood.
“All of Canterlot…” All the girls look at the floor crying.
I stop knocking on the wood and in an flash Celestia, Luna and Twilight are held down to the ground with my strike team holding the blade against their necks, “Good job girls. Now Applejack, Rarity look at your sisters and tell me what you see.”
Rarity steps forward crying, “My sweet little sister being controlled by an monster!”
Applejack steps forward with an stern look on her face, “A little girl that needs an talking to.”
“Both you wrong, what you see are the beginning of an Evolved army...My army to fight infected threats.”
All the Mane six cry out in hatred and the three girls cringe and i snap and they return to my side, ”Girls just ignore them, they do not understand what its like, and Pinkie you may join us if you wish but Luna you were an mistake, infecting you was an mistake and i'm cutting you form the Hive mind and if i found out you killed or consumed another being no matter size i will kill you Luna.”
With that parting words i walk out the house followed by the little girls and Pinkie who’s skipping in joy but weirdly her hair is flat but i surg it off.
We get on an trian cause i'm feeling lazy and i start to plan it out, “Girls i’ll get the heavy ones you focus on the regular little zombies, they should be easy to kill and Pinkie.”
“Yes Pathogen?” She spoke in an creepy but pleasant manner I liked.
“Don’t hurt yourself but to all extant have fun but we are going to have to jump out of the train.” I open the train doors and hit the ground running as we come across the copse that once was Canterlot.
“Girls let me welcome you to the end of the world.” I singel for Applebloom to start destroying building and the other girls to hunt the streets for zombie and i see out of the coner of my eye an brawler but bigger and its brain exposed so i active my whip fist and slice the head open and see its head come off cleanly and i look at the corpse is was eating and tear off its head. “Dont need another of those freak running around again.”
I i jump to the roof tops and quickly kill another and another. The cleansing of the city takes an half an day and the whole town is in rubble and the plants around the city turned to sand and i start to worry as i call all the Evolved back. “I have two options, A.We can go back to my world where our knd is hated but it is easy to hide as you can change who you are or B. We stay here infecting everyone with the Mercer virus and fighting the infected as they are.”
Flat haired Pinkie raises her hand, “Who can we take with us?”
“Anyone you wish, but i heard of an mirror that leads to an world with ponies as the lead species and there technically advanced, so who wants to go?”
“Everyone wants to go there? Good cause i'm going back to my world, the mirror is located in the crystal Empire, good luck.” I take out an device and goes home.
I'm walking down an extremely long path in one of the naval bases. "A mission directly from Alex Mercer himself...Must be important to rip me from creating more strands." I look at the blood stains and form the angle of the blood, ‘I think Mercer dropped his shape and began killing using his claws by the splatter of the blood.’
I'm met at the end of the hallway--a ring about 15 feet in diameter with multiple power and data cables running into it and manning one of the consoles was Alex Mercer. He turns to me and stared at me with those blood red eyes. 'I'm in front of the one who created me and gave me immortal life... I'm in front of my god.’ I get down to one knee and bow to him and he laughs.
"Get up kid. I'm not a god, but a visionary...Beside your creativity is what I desire and I'm putting it to the test by sending you out to an unknown place...so prepare for the hostile and or kind environment." He flips a switch and the circle is filled with an image of a town’s edge. I nod to him and before walking through I shift some of my biomass into the form of jeans and a leather hoodie. Alex smirked and nodded, "Nice choice kid, it helps to stay hidden during the first couple days, try to settle down and make sure no one thinks it’s you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first thing I notice is the clear air that is radically different than the smell of rotting flesh that seemed to come hand and hand with the NYZ...'It’s pleasant. But first, I need to gain basic knowledge of this strange land.' I look around and walk on a sturdy wooden bridge that lead into the town square. He walked forward into the town and looked in the fountain and placed a finger into it.
"Hello, what are you doing mister?" I quickly turn around to see what is a purple skinned human with a plain regular white shirt and a skirt with stars on them with a horn on her head.
"Nothing." He pulls his hood over his head so she can't get a good look at him. 'Should I scare her off before I began? Maybe I can seek refuge in that forest.' I nod to myself and that seems to confuse the girl. "Miss what's in that forest over there?" I point a thumb to the forest.
"You mean the Everfree Forest? What do you need from there?" Asks the woman.
"I simply to wish to seek shelter there." Was the reply.
"You can't! There are dangerous animals there that could rip apart people like us!" Shrieks the woman worriedly.
"Dont worry, I can handle anything that gets in my way." I smile at her flashing her my red eyes and hearing her eep as I get up.
"W-what are you, people don't have red eyes." She asks.
"Wow, xenophobic, I just have rare eyes. I wouldn’t like to be hated by the locals." I start to chuckle and wave to her as I walk off. "See you later purple girl!" I start to walk off to the forest whilst humming the Moonlit Sonnet that I learned form a pianist that I consumed before I came here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found a clearing not far from the tree line. 'Time to find some biomass to prepare for tomorrow.' My eyes flick to yellow for heat vision and I see a curious shape, 'I'm going to fucking laugh if that is a manticore.' I walk into the forest and see the shapes of three lions with a scorpion tail and leathery wings and they're all sleeping. 'The best idea is decapitation quick and clean.'
I sneak up to the place where the bodies lay and position their necks and will my fingers into a long metal. I stare at my newly formed claws. I plunge them into the ground and dictate the tendrils along the dirt to their necks and forces them to pierce their necks quickly as they spasm on the tendrils. I retract them and glare at the blood on my fingers and as I lick it off my claws it turns to biomass and it enters my reserve. 'Leave nothing when hunting and consume it all.'
Three tendrils emerge from my body and drag the bodies to me as I leave a puddle of blood as a warning to the inhabits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Twilight Sparkle ran all the way terrified of the stranger she just met, "Spike we need to take a letter and warn the Princesses!"
The sleepy dragon gets up from his basket almost as tall as Twilight entering his teen years, "About what Twilight, and why so late?" He yawns and looks at the terrified girl.
"I-I met someone with blood red eyes and I saw nothing in them but evil. I'm scared Spike. Just met him and I'm already scared of him." Twilight replied.
"Twilight, you’re over reacting and I'm going back to bed, night Twilight." Sighed Spike as he fell back asleep.
She scans the shelf for dangerous creatures in Equestria and finds it, but she has yet to find anything referencing him. "I can’t find anything. Maybe I am just over reacting, maybe he’s just nice and this is just another Zecora incident." She sighs and retires to her bed and tucks herself in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I lay in the clearing and sigh, "I should've asked her name so I can come up with a alias that fits this area." I laugh and stand up, "I should see if my powers still work here, ‘cause the claws were different than I liked. Maybe I should stop talking to myself out loud too." I laugh and cast my mind to the empty hive-mind and cry a bit. ‘I’m truly alone for the first time since I can remember, now I'm alone...First thing tomorrow: I'll plan how to start my very own hive mind.' I close my eyes and fall asleep.
I took the memory of the monster in my mind and put in the instinct to find and consume it...My visions takes on an vision of orange and i stand still and see the world become normal become normal form my right so i jump and do it again and see it come from Ponyville...the forest and for some reason i felt...bad? I rush to Luna and burst open her door, “Teleport me to Ponyville NOW.” I felt everything tingle as i'm in the town square and in my armour for boots too.
I use another hunting pulse and i find it eating an person so i did the most logical thing an fury bound monster could do. I aim my palms at it and shoot all my spare biomass into it and pinned it to an wall as i arrouch it i modified my arm into two blades and cut the things head off and sigs as i helped the person up and said. “I'm sorry.” after being almost being eaten alive by an monster he’s stabbed through the gut and grabs my arm looking at me with eyes pleading why.
I consumed the monster as i sighed, I felt guilt, i felt mad, most of all i felt sad. ‘Is this what most feel when killing? This pain and sadness, why am i just feeling it?’ I hold the body of the man and look at him, no more than 20 so i picked him up and copied Luna’s teleportation spell to her chambers, “Luna find this mans family and tell them I killed him to prevent an infection from spreading.“
Alice looks at me, “How did you kill it so fast? We couldn't pirce its skin with an blade!”
“I took my blade.” I turn my arm to the most beautiful one i could think of. ”And cut off its fucking head and cause its infected i can't get at its memories and see if it killed anyone else and infect them with that damned T-virus of yours! I was never human in the first time but i think i'm starting to feel like one! AND I FUCKING HATE IT!” Unconsciously i turned my hands into hammerfist and punch the ground destroying it and father to my feet that i expand my wings to fly over the whole and turn my arms into useless by my standards but dangerous as the edges of it produce tendris that grab on to anything it can and hardens it so i can stab it so it floats around me literally turning it an granite like stone that crumbles away, “I made this one from your Elements of Harmony turning to thing to stone anything turn to stone but Luna ill use it for much less noble purpose but they did change me! They did the worst thing that something could do! THEY MADE ME FEEL!” One the tendrils touched one the Alices and turned her to stone as i fled closer. “I want to have those things to reverse the process so i can kill again!”
Luna backtracks a little, “Why would you still want to kill?! Why dont you want to feel warmth and compassion? Love is an beautiful thing and the only time Me, Pinkie, or any the other Evolved only say its unhealthy in this land...we want you to change for the better. Not for the worse Pathogen!”
My face goes blank making Luna go pale as i smile, “This is an time to start my mind from scratch, to feel broken and destroying Canterlot will do that for me!” By that time the tendrils pierced the stones of the main columns and turns them to brittle stone bring the castle down on us and everyone inside and i teleported to the Changling hive and starts to laugh but i feel tears stain my face. “Is changing myself back an good thing?” I walk to the destroyed throne and sit on it and sighs.
Thats when i see Scootaloo sitting in an corner of the place doing the same doing the same thing as i'm doing : crying. I walk up to her and place my arms around her and cry with her. “Pathogen? Why are you here and why are you hugging me?” She stops crying and looks at me with watery eyes.
“Cause i changed and did something to stick something up Luna’s and Celestia’s ass, i destroyed the castle by turning it into pebbles.” I laugh a little and stand back as i feel an feeling...I don’t know what it is but its...nice. Its mixed in with an feeling of self pride.
“You know how to Elements of Harmony? I used the spell that turns to stone things, but i made the spell weaker so it turns things into brittle stone so its easily to break, an regular person could break it to dust in their hands, so i did it to the entire castle because they change me without my permission is montours, entirely monstrous. Do you know why?”
“Cause it makes you change in ways your not ready for.”
“Exactly i use to kill without remorse turning those people into Evolved only with an Prototype named Mercer.”
“Whats an Prototype?”
“Plainly its an reanimated corpse fresh enough to retain its memory after death but that leads to one thing… Mental instability after they consume an large amount of people they become insane…”
“If he was insane then why did you follow him?”
“Wouldn’t you follow your father?”
“I don’t know, i don't have one...or an father.”
“Thats wrong.”
“No i an ophan-”
“I'm your father now, i'm not sure how to show love but that blast those Elements hit with me recoded my DNA so i become nicer slowly, less twisted and till i get those Elements and change myself i'm not going to forgive them for changing me.”
She smiles and crys, “You’ll really be my father?”
I nod and smile, “Yea kid ill teach you everything i know.”
