Chapter three: Things seem...off.

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Princess Celestia, she's in the middle of a meeting with a griffon ambassador about setting up trade routes and relations between the two countries.That is at least until she is dreadfully bored.

'He just keeps blathering on and on and on and on, it's getting ridiculous.'

"So princess, do we have everything in order?" Celestia snapped out of her daze, surprised at how abruptly he had switched from something about his grandchildren to foreign policy. She blinked a few times and looked at the griffon, she had two choices, agree and have no clue what she was agreeing to, or ask him to go over it again and look like a complete foal. As soon as she opened her mouth however a loud banging sound could be heard. "What in Equestria is that?" The ambassador looked up from the legal document and towards the large double doors.

The doors exploded into the throne room, barely on their hinges. A loud bellowing could be heard, and suddenly a partially metal monstrosity ran in, shooting bolts of electricity from one of its appendages and sending out wave after wave of elemental energy each time it was struck with something from one of the unicorns trying to stop it. "OH BUCK ME!" Celestia was not a happy pony.

*Delta's POV*

I awoke to seeing my body being just inches above the floor. I am probably being held in a telekinesis plasmid. I did not move my body at all. Better to not alert them to my presence, I did a whole lot better with the element of surprise last time, I will this time too. "Could we just stop for one second?" I heard heavy breathing from behind me and to the right. "This thing is freakishly heavy." Is she calling me fat? I know I ate a lot, but that was for survival! I swiveled my eyes to the right, nothing, to the left, hooves. Hooves? How spliced are they?

"Princess Celestia is in the middle of a meeting, we are going to have to bring this to her later." I heard a general murmur of agreement from the other splicers. Odd, normally they would just grunt, heck a lot of them didn't even do that. Maybe some kind of anti-side effect gene tonic? That would have been incredibly nice a few years ago. Wouldn't have even need to become what I am.

"So what is this meeting about? Dealing with Discord's remaining chaos spawns, foreign policy, setting up a new holiday, or maybe with Princess Luna and her desperate want for a longer night?" I heard a small growl.

"Teleforce! It is none of our concern if one of the princesses wants a longer time to control, as it is however, I would actually like a longer night, more time to sleep." Okay, that is way to complicated a sentence for a splicer, where exactly am I? Then it finally dawned on my what was missing, there were no tunnels, no ceilings, just open air, forests, and whatever it is that lived here. This isn't Rapture. Now seems like an appropriate time to freak out.

I began to run and charge up my electro bolt plasmid. I let out a roar the likes of which could be compared to a lion...'What's a lion?'

*Guard's POV*

"Was that a fucking Manticore!?" Teleforce was following the path of destruction made by...the thing. It was pretty easy to tell where this thing had been, large black spots could be seen on the floors from his lightning strikes, as well as broken and chipped walls, hurt ponies, broken doors, some of which were in-bedded in the walls...that are made of marble...

"I think we're fighting a losing battle here." That was a nameless guard pony that they had brought along with them, just some added security...that was practically useless.

"Ya don't say?" Several of them had stopped to take a breather, this thing was moving way to fast for something of that size. "We obviously need some kind of tactic to deal with it, anyone volunteering for my idea?" These were said by Tactical strike, the current captain of the guard.

"Shouldn't we know what it is first, sir?"

"Pfft, no."

*Delta's POV*

'What the Hell is going on!? Where am I?' I fired another electro bolt at one of the walls, surely this is the best course of action. I drill charged at a large pair of double doors and rapid fired my electro bolt plasmid everywhere. I saw two beings in the room, one of them was of more avian descent than the other, though they both had wings...'What the fuck is avian? How did I know that?'

I fired an elecro bolt at them, and then took out my machine gun. "OH BUCK ME!" To say I was startled that one of them yelled that with enough volume behind it to make my head hurt would be an understatement. I looked over to where the sound came from. I am pretty sure it was the white one. It had a mad look in its eyes, and its horn was glowing bright white. I also began to notice that I had several objects smashing into me quite often.

It was at this time that I felt myself being lifted into the air...and subsequently being smashed into everything that ever existed.

(For all intensive purposes, Delta is the equivalent of Loki, and The Hulk is Celestia, but Delta's smashing lasts for a few minutes, and breaks some windows...and some of the ceiling...and a few bones...)

'Why...won't...I die?' I was now strapped down to a table, memories of inner Persephone would come to mind, but I am waaaaay to focused on pain to think. I was able to hear some of those things speak.

"That is no chaos spawn, it doesn't have the residual chaos magic, though something is in it that I have never seen before."

"You've never seen it before? So this is some kind of new magic?"

"I am rather hesitant to call it magic at all Princess, there is something inside it, something organic...but not fully."

"How could something not be fully organic, but also not be magical in nature?"

"I honestly have no idea Princess, if you would permit me to, I would like to study this further."

I didn't hear a response, but rather I saw what looked like a bearded version of these things. This thing has a damn fine beard. "Oh...you're moving again...good?" I groaned, he flinched a little. I was all out of eve syringes, and I didn't have any of those medical kits when I was brought here. It was at this time I remembered my Fountain Of Youth gene tonic, if I could get to a body of water I would be okay.

"So, where does something like you come from?" He did not speak to me directly and from what I can see, he did not expect a response. Lets change that. I groaned again, I hoped it sounded something like the word Rapture.

*Starswhirl the Bearded's POV*

"Rapder"...Heh, this thing makes some weird noises. I rummaged around for a book full of medical spells, hopefully it would contain something that would have a body scanning spell. When I finally found it, there were no such thing as a body scanning spell... "Great, now I have to make another spell, somepony in the future is surely going to blow what I do way out of proportion."

*Delta's POV*

Okay, so these things have 'magic', and 'somepony'? What the fuck? I thought ponies were like small horses...dammit...that's what these are...How did I know what a pony is? I should really try and get a grip on my mind, maybe start poking around and seeing what I can find in there.

"So, it looks like I am going to have to go, but I will be back quite soon, so don't go around causing trouble, okay?" 'Oh, why hello there chance at survival, I didn't see you come in.'

He exited from a door, though it was not the one that he came in from. I began to push against my restraints, they snapped with relative ease, I also felt my bones grind against each other a little...I really need to get to some water. Once my hands were free, I sat up and undid my leg restraints. I couldn't tell if anything in my legs were broken, but I didn't really feel much pain in that area. Only one way to find out I suppose.

*Crunch*

...fuck.

"Okay, I'm ba-...oh my." I heard the sound of hooves on a marble floor draw nearer to me, and then its face was within sight of my visor. That beard is majestic. "You appear to have fallen, and you can't seem to get back up, huh?" You sarcastic piece of shi-oh wait you're serious.

"Well, I was just testing another new spell," He looked a bit disgruntled. " and the medical pavilion of the castle is now quite happy with me, almost threw a celebration right there." This all means literally nothing to me, get to the point. "Lets see what kind of damage Celestia did to you, eh?" Now that is what I wanted to hear.

I felt a sensation akin to warm water flowing over my skin, but I could also feel it on the inside of me, I shivered a bit. "I don't really know much about your anatomy, but I don't think those bones are supposed to be like that...huh, you have bones?" Nah doc, I have jelly filled sacs that contract and expand for movement...Somehow I feel like I know to much about things I never really studied.

"Tell me, can you understand me?" ...Well, it's not like I have anything to lose by doing this. I groaned again, and tried to nod my head, though my back was on the floor, making it kind of hard to do that.

"...For the sake of science I am going to interpret that as a yes..." I honestly was not expecting that to work at all. But what does he plan on doing with me?
