Flesh and Silicon

"Well Twilight Sparkle, you want to talk. We shall talk," Steelwing said, unsheathing his sword and sitting on a chair. Twilight breathed a sigh of relief as she pulled the chair from under the small wooden table and sat on it. "One question, how did you get here".

"Well, I was supposed to be in the Ancient Equestria era to look for a legendary artefact," Twilight explained. "It is known as the Rift Blade to most ponies but we haven't been able to track it down", Steelwing looked at his sword as he had realised he picked up Platinum's sword instead of his, he looked at the Rift Blade which was under the bunk beds.

"May I ask why you need this blade," Steelwing asked suspiciously, trying to defend his only means of defence against the Giga-Changelings. Twilight shook her head slowly while she organised the messy work table.

"I'm afraid I can't as that is Princess Celestia's concern," Twilight said sternly.

"Princess Celestia, white Alicorn, about this tall?" Steelwing asked, as he raised his hoof to his shoulder height.

"Yes, how did you know?" Twilight replied suspiciously.

"Well, I may be courting with her sister..." Steelwing trailed off. Twilight laughed to herself.

"Princess Luna? She hasn't even had a colt-friend in her life". Steelwing narrowed his eyes at her, Twilight noticed the look.

"Oh, you wasn't joking," Twilight nervously laughed.

"Not for long I bet, this war is damaging our relationship, anyway you didn't answer my question," Steelwing said, putting the interrogation back on track.

"I came from Equestria, from the past I'm guessing from the technology that you ponies have," Twilight complimented, looking around the room. "I used this to get to the past, however Princess Celestia said I would be teleported to a random location in the world as well as going to the past," Twilight explained, lifting a necklace with a clock charm. "Where am I anyway?"

"Trench 54, near Circuit City". Twilight looked at him blankly, Steelwing groaned in annoyance. He then got out a map of the known world. "Here is Equestria, you are here," Steelwing pointed, far down south of a huge landmass that was bigger than Equestria.

"Oh my, it seems Princess Celestia wasn't kidding," Twilight gasped. Suddenly a courier burst into the room, out of breath he said.

"Telegram for you sir, it is marked as urgent," Steelwing grabbed the letter and ripped it open. His eyes scanned across the pages. His eyes then widened.

"No, it cannot be!" Steelwing shouted, he threw the letter on the ground in anger and then proceeded to punch the mirror.

"What's wrong?" Twilight asked, flinching from the glass flying around the room. Twilight then picked up the piece of paper, it read:

At 10:43, Princess Luna has been sentenced to a life banishment until further notice, I am sorry. Princess Celestia.

"So...I'm in the past, 1000 years ago," Twilight muttered to herself, trying not to cause any paradoxes. Steelwing was walking around the room, rambling to himself.

"Leave me Twilight Sparkle, put these on to blend in," Steelwing snapped, handing Twilight a rifle green jacket with some Lieutenant  rank slides on. Twilight quickly changed into the uniform and went outside into the heavy rain. Platinum soon walked in, looking at Steelwing in an odd fashion.

"Steelwing, are you OK," Platinum asked, he noticed the telegram and read it. He then dropped it and went up to Steelwing and put his hoof on his shoulder in an attempt to comfort him. He soon threw it off and then manically screamed,

"I'm OK, in fact I'm good, best iv'e been in a while".

"Steelwing, you're scaring me!" However he then threw him a crazy look, his eyes and completely widened and his pupil and iris shrunk until his eyes were nearly all white. Platinum ran and alerted 4 soldiers to restrain him. Steelwing grabbed his rift blade and readied it to strike,

"Come on, I'll gut you like a fish!" Steelwing taunted, he then slashed a soldier in his arm, burning it and causing the soldier to scream in pain and fear. He then backslashed at the other 3, making them retreat. Platinum looked at Steelwing in shock. A dart gun then would be heard firing which then hit Steelwing in the neck. He began to feel faint and dizzy until collapsing.

Reality kept on fading in and out, he saw him being pulled to a armoured van, then he saw he being pulled out of it and lead into a pair of double doors. He then saw Luna, however she looked different. She a much larger horn and was even taller herself. She had a slit for pupils, like a snake.

"Look what they done to me my poor Steelwing, they locked me in the moon. But don't worry, we shall have our vengeance. For now, play their game, I shall watch with great interest". Steelwing suddenly shot up from a padded floor, he looked around and saw only a few metal bars as a window and a solid steel door with a small peep hole in. He tried to get up but he had his wings and front legs restrained by a straitjacket. He attempted to bite it off but he then discovered he had a metal cage around his muzzle. He soon gave up trying to escape and sat on the padded floor. He suddenly heard the metal peep hole open as he saw a pair of purple eyes observe him.

"He sure did cause trouble back at the trench," A voice said.

"Yeah, the psycho came out slashing at us!" Another one said.

"So will I have to conduct a therapy session tomorrow?" The pony looking in said.

"Yes, from what we have heard he seems to have a equincidal tendencies towards Princess Celestia," One of the voices replied. The mention of Celestia caused Steelwing to snap, his wings managed to break the straitjacket and he soon pulled off the muzzle cage. He punched through the door but ended up damaging his hoof, the pony observing fell back and slammed the hole shut.

"What about his son?" The pony asked.

"My son?" Steelwing shouted in surprise.
