Prototype: Epilogue in Equestria

My name is Alex Mercer. That's what I call myself, anyway. I'm not Alex Mercer. He's dead. I'm the virus. I just took over his body. But, that's unimportant, for now anyway. Let's go back, all those years ago. Damn ponies, I murdered countless of them, and their fucking magic.... it changed me. I didn't think I could have gotten any more fucked up, but I did anyway. I don't regret any of it.

I had just dropped the bomb into the ocean, and now I'm desperately trying to escape the blast. My hands were sweaty and I pushed the Helicopter to the limit. But, it wasn't fast enough. The blast hit me and I went spinning. I didn't die, I was just split into many pieces. I slowly crawled all of my biomass back together and when I could see again, I wasn't in New York. I couldn't have died. The virus- I mean me,-would just found another host. I was in some forest, but this didn't even look remotely like a forest should. As the rest of my body collected itself, I flexed my fingers and I could see feel everything, see everything, hear everything. Could I have been slung so far, that I hit a forest? No, that made no sense, there weren't any forests even remotely close to were I was. I felt like I did when I first got this body, when I thought I was Alex Mercer. I made my hand grow the Claws. I then turned it back to normal, learning that I still had my powers.

That was good enough for me, I shook off the feeling and walked out of the forest. It was only about 2 minutes before I had enough of this forest and turned my arm into a shield. I bashed my way through every tree until I found myself in a clearing. There was fresh air, something I haven't had for a long time. My head started to throb and I fell to my knees. I grabbed my head and trashed about while a memory came to me. It was random pictures of blueprints for the bomb, with scientists saying random things such as, wormholes, vortexes, black-holes, and just other space terms. The memory was from Taggard. I came back to reality and got off the ground. I could put 2 and 2 together and I knew that I just needed to get home. Fucking Blackwatch is probably trying to find a way to stop me right now. I ran trough the open fields, ground shaking with each step. The wind flying past me as I went near the speed of sound. Consuming Greene had a 'after effects'. I came across a small village, with houses that looked like they were built in the dark ages. So, I guess this means that I just went back in time. Now, how I'm a suppose to get home, no wait, I'm home, just not the right time. I shouldn't jump to conclusions. I took note of the houses and put the evidence on the forefront of my mind. Traveling through space should be easier then bending time. I heard something walking near me, so I looked toward the source of the sound. It was... some kind of horse, no a pony. It had a brown coat, with spiked brown hair and some kind of hourglass tattoo on it's ass. It might have some answers. They can't talk, at least not English, so I'll consume it and get this over with. I sprinted toward the creature and grabbed it by the neck then held it up in the air. My tendrils shot out, but it yelled,

"STOP!" I become shocked and drew the tendril backs in. I still held it in the air as I said,

"So you can talk. English, oddly enough. Tell me, where are we?" The pony just looked at me with fear as I held it there. I've had enough of this, I threw the thing on the ground and started to beat it up, blood flying everywhere. My tendrils absorbed it and it's memories became mine. The amount of new knowledge caused me scream as I flailed about, taking in everything he's every done. Apparently, his name was Doctor Hooves and we all live in some pony-infested world. There's magic and flying and they're all ruled by a princess. Pictures of ponies, and other things on this planet came, flashing in head, with them talking about things such as parties and Elements of Harmony. This Element of Harmony I might need. I also learned a few names, such as Derpy and Colgate and Rainbow Dash, to name a few. They all had stupid names that were real words in English. It just made no sense. The memories stopped and I came back to reality. I got up of the ground noticing the blood all over the grass. It would be bad if anyone found this, but I really didn't give a fuck. I disguised as the brown pony I had just consumed and returned to walking through out the town. The only current way of getting off this fucked-up little girl's dream, is to get the Elemants of Harmony. I need to consume a few more ponies to find out more about this. I had no clue of any weapons, expect magic, that they might have had. They were peaceful, but that doesn't mean I'm going to assume they can't use magic to hurt or have any weapons. I should stick to stealth for now. I blended into the crowds with my head down. I came out of the crowd, near some stand selling food. I went to a small secluded part of it that held the food. The pony that was in it didn't notice me. I walked behind him and stealth consumed him. My head started to throb again, this time less painful, and my head filled images of various ponies, but I heard some female voice say in the memory,

"Hello, Twilight Sparkle here. Would you like to check out a book?" Okay, so she's a librarian. Why did I see that? Wait, I reviewed the memory again, and felt some kind of powerful aura around her. She also had a horn, which glowed when objects were lifted near her. I need that magic, I need to consume her. I took the form of Doctor Hooves again, and walked out of the stand. I pushed and sprinted my through the crowd until I came across that tree I saw in the memory. I pushed open the door, and there she was. By the looks of it, she was organizing a bookshelf. I turned human again, and mutated my hand into the Whipfist and launched it at Twilight. She noticed it and her horn glowed. The attack stopped in mid-air. She's more powerful then I thought. I brought out my shield and slammed it on the ground then charged. She teleported in a flash of light, and I went right trough the wall. Something shot me in the back, and it burned. I turned around and saw her, with her horn pointed at me. I was washed over with a warm feeling as I was lifted into the air. This flimsy bubble can't hold me. The purple pony walked toward me and yelled,

"What are you doing!? Why did you attack me?!" I smashed my fist together and created a shock wave that broke the magic bubble. I charged at her, again, this time with Claws. I slashed at her when in range, but she just teleported away. Something big fell on me, and I looked up. It was a large desk, I mutated with Musclemass and threw the desk forward. It made a loud crashing sound and went through the tree, leaving a big hole in the wall. I felt the same warm feeling wash over me as I was lifted in the air. This hasn't worked before, and it won't work again. I looked to my left, the library was a mess, there were books thrown everywhere from the fight and Twilight looked exhausted as her horn glowed brightly. I smashed my fists together again, but the bubble held tight.  I felt a burning sensation go through my body and become tired quickly. My power was draining and I went into critical mass. I shot my tendrils all throughout my body in every direction. Time slowed as they covered everything in the sphere they created. The bubble broke and the pony fainted. I was badly injured as I trudged toward the pony. I picked her up and sent my tendrils crawling toward her. Another female voice yelled,

"HEY! LEAVE HER ALONE!" Something smashed into me and I was sent flying before I could consume Twilight. I crashed into the wall and fell down. I looked toward the source of the attack, and saw a cyan pony with rainbow hair. The name Rainbow Dash came to mind. I was badly injured, I couldn't fight anymore. I grew Hammerfist and smashed through the wall. Then I ran out, as fast as I could. I needed something to consume or to regenerate. Rainbow Dash didn't follow me. These fucking ponies are stronger then I thought, but like any good predator, I will find their weakness and end their lives for my benefit.

I was in a crowd, transformed as Doctor Hooves. I slowly regenerated as I thought about any weakness they might have. They seemed to care for each other a lot, I could use that: Impersonate one of them and consume when them they aren't looking. It's always been so easy before, mutate, run up, kill, and ran away. I made my way through the crowd, looking for a place to be alone and think. I found an exit out of the market walked down the field. Once no one could see me, I turned back human. I mutated my arm into the Blade. I waved the Blade around, when it started to get got hot, not warm, but really starting to burn up. I pain shot through me, as I collapsed to the ground. I pushed myself back up, in pure agony. My Blade arm was mutating, it had turned red, and there was steam coming off it. I lightly touched it with my other hand, and it burned through my skin, much like that magic thing Twilight shot at me earlier. I sliced the new Blade through the air, watching the steam run off of it. A small line of fire grew at the end of the Blade as I waved it around. I then struck it on the ground and turned my arm back to normal. This is just what I needed. I wanted to just burst into the city, killing everything in sight, but, they would get away. Twilight can teleport so I need to take her out stealthily.

A/N: I thought this was a good place to stop. I'm replaying prototype, and I thought about what would happen if Alex Mercer was in Equestria, then I realized it may be even harder than on Earth because of magic. I think this would be a better prototype 2 :D Looking back over it, it's pretty dark, but, that's the way it's suppose to be. This won't be a long seris, nor will it be a 1-shot. I plan around 5 chapters, all about this length.
