Prolouge

Sirens start to wail 50 miles west of Appaloosa,in the badlands of Equestria, as a feathered humanoid, with fangs and pointed ears, runs through the halls of an establishment. People run after the creature, some in lab coats, and some in other clothing. They can’t let subject 60230 escape. Many take a detour to get in front of him, only to get bashed down as he runs for his life.

“Tranquilize him already!” one man shouts to a scientist that is fumbling with him bag.

“I can’t find the dart! It’s not in here!” the weak scientist searches through the bag, opening pockets and getting no result

“Look harder!” the man hits the weak scientist in frustration as the creature comes around the bend. “Here he comes!” the man jumps to grab at the creature, only to get bitten in response, the creatures sharp teeth tearing through the human flesh. The man roars in pain as the creature runs further ahead.

The creature continues before reaching a dead end. "Fuck..." He turns around to see 10 to 20 men and women chasing after them. He grits his teeth, and bears his crow-like grey wings. The creature hisses, bearing his sharp, pointed teeth, and takes stance, observing his surrounding for an escape plan. The creature spots a window nearby, and thinks that if he can make a distraction, he can fly to the window, and escape. He smirks as he realizes it might- no, it will work!

“Dart him!” a man in a suit yells from the back and a few men shoots darts at the feathered creature. The creature dodges a few before getting hit, and getting slower as more darts hit him, before he falls down in a mess of his own feathers and some blood from all the damage.

“Get him, and put him back in his cage. Prepare the punishment machine.” The man in the suit says to a man next to him. The man nods and goes to grab the creature as the man in the suit barks orders to the other people “Back to your stations, make sure the cages are locked, and if any try, make them suffer!” his words are laced with venom as he looks over what they are doing

The scientist grabs the creatures arm, and starts to drag him, leaving no mercy by making it uncomfortable. He gets a few feet before screaming in pain as the creature attacks him.

The creature’s feathers protected him from actually getting hit, but he faked it so that he can get up close and lash out. The creature starts to run to the window, and his wings snap open, before spilling air out behind him as he jumps to the window at a fast speed. Hitting it, but bouncing back at the reinforced glass.

“Set it to double.” He says to the scientist that got injured “Really make him pay” the man in the suit walks to the creature, which backs away clumsily, and stepping on his sensitive wings, making the creature yell out a strangled sound, a mix of a bird and a human. He drags the creature that fights weakly, drained of hope of escape, back down the hall and to a man “Back to the cell, ya little bitch” the man says before handing him over, and walking to the scientist, and pulling medical tape out of his suit and wrapping up the scientists arm

“Are you okay, Harold?” the man in the suit says to his scientist

“Yeah, I’m fine… nothing we can’t fix, am I right?” he say in a weak, joking tone.

“2nd time this week, will he ever learn?” the man says, in a worried tone “He’s our best success, and we need to keep him safe, let him develop… have him be the next jump in human evolution.” He adjusts his suit, and sighs, as he begins to walk down the hall, back to his office

“Science will be changed, thanks to us!” Harold says as he follows closely behind the man in the suit.

“Yeah, as long as we can keep them under control.” The two of them enters the man’s office, and the man moves to go behind the desk, and he opens a cabinet, pulling out a file and putting it on a desk. “Go check on subject 60311. It’s time for the next stage with her...”

The scientist blinks, before nodding “Yes sir, I’ll get right to it!” he leaves the office in a hurry and runs down the hall, into a room filled with cages. There is a loud banging in the direction he is heading, where 60230 is thrashing about.

“Stop it, before I get Brenton.” The creature suddenly stops when he hears that, with the scientist smirking as he walks past 60230’s cage, to another cage, smaller than 60230’s, where a girl, no less than 15, is stuck, with beat up clothing, and many scars and bruises on her face and body. He pulls a key out of his pocket, which he uses to unlock the cage

“Out” he orders the girl, known as 60311 to the men. She limps out of the cage, and drops to the floor, her cage being on top of another cage of a larger size. “Get up.” Harold commands, which she listens and stands on shaky legs. “Follow.” She listens and follows him as he walks away, looking back at 60230, who is giving her a worried smile and a thumbs up, yet it is evident that he is scared for her.

The two of them walks down a hallway, before entering a large room, with a seating area that is blocked off by reinforced glass. They head to a table in the center of the room “Sit” he commands to the girl, and she climbs up, before sitting down. He puts a hand to his ear, where a Bluetooth device is, and he speaks into the microphone “We are ready for testing” The intercom goes off a few seconds later

“All scientists of the 60 Hall, that are not occupied, please report to Testing Chamber 62. I repeat, all scientists of the 60 Hall, that are not occupied, please report to Testing Chamber 62.” This statement is heard through the facility.

~~~~~

Subject 60230 pulls his head up from the floor of the cramped cage as he hears the PA system, his feathers insulating him from the cold. “They’re starting…” he mutters quietly. He arranges himself to sit more comfortable, as he strains his ears to try to listen to the testing chamber down the hall. He grumbles as he cant hear anything, before stretching his wings outside the cage, and to the lock, before putting a bent up feather in, and slowly unlocking the cage. He grins as he hears a click "Aha!" before jumping out onto the cold hard floor.

"Where are you going...?" a voice comes from the creature's right. He looks to the source of the voice, where a boy, looking about 7 years old is held.

"To save my friend and escape... tell no one." he walks to the exit of the room, his bare feet not making a sound against the tile.

"O-Okay..." the boy croaks out from the cage as the creature leaves the room

~~~~~

A group of people have gathered on the other side of the glass as the girl is strapped to a table by restraints, all of them here to see the latest success on subject 60311. Harold is setting up equipment in the room, almost time for the test.

"And.... set up." Harold says as he has a table next to him, with pills and equipment on it and a small pool behind him. "Hello, my name is Harold, and this is subject 60311. She is our test subject for the sea adaptions, for ponies to survive underwater if needed. These pills will start the process." All the people murmur at his words, and claps when he finishes. Harold goes to the table and grabs a pill, before walking down to the trapped girl.

"Open up." he commands, and she obeys. Harold drops the pill in her mouth "Swallow it." She obeys, and starts to struggle as it takes effect almost instantly, making her struggle against the binds at first, before calming down and breathing shallow breaths, obviously harder all of a sudden. Harold begins to undo the binds for her, allowing her to grasp her stomach with her arms

"Get up." she listens, and stands on the ground weakly. "To the water." they walk to the little pool in the room. "Get in" the girl hesitates, before she gets pushed in "I said get in!" and she splashes down onto the shallow floor of the pool, which makes the pool start to bubble. The girl starts to shake harder as she starts to change, her skin starting to disperse a strange ooze, her bones becoming thinner, and her arms and legs start to split into tentacle-like appendages.

~~~~~

The creature runs down the hall, trying to find a safe place, and where the latest experiment is taking place in the building. He trips and stumbles as he rounds a turn, and he thinks to himself 'Where is everyone?' he keeps running before he hears the girl scream from a door to his left 'Is that her?' He listens to the scream and tries to figure out who it is from the pitch. 'Oh, crap!! Its her!' He runs to where the voice is coming from, to get stopped by a door. He grits his teeth, and looks for another entrance. He runs down the hall, his wings speeding him up as he runs around the curved hall, to find a door where the screams are the loudest. It could be that she's screaming much louder than before, or the fact that there is no barrier past that door. 'Aha!' He walks to the door, and mist seeps off of his body as he forms his body to be more human in appearance, ditching the feathers, wings, fangs, tail, and pointed teeth. He pants as it takes a bit of energy to do that.

~~~~~

"Brilliant!" The girls keeps struggling in the pool, strange extrusion appearing on her skin that slowly changes color to a sickly green, blood seen coming out where the skin gets torn. The pool turning into a dull brown as the red of blood,and the green of the ooze leeks and mixes with the girl thrashing.

A golden color is seen from the door, making Harold look over and frown, before running to the door, knowing whats gonna happen next. As he reaches the door he goes to press a button on the wall next to it, the door slams open, and into the wall, before Harold gets punched in the gut.

"You Bitch!" the creature sands nearby as Harold staggers backwards. He runs up to the man, and kicks his knee from the side, making the man fall down, before he runs to the convulsing girl.

"No! Stop it! Stay Calm! Its based on your blood pressure!" he shouts to the girl, before a flexible appendage comes out from her, blood and everything, and slaps the creature across the room, him groaning when he hits the floor. He gets backup, and runs back over, albeit a bit slower than before "Heh... wow... that's strong......" he dodges another appendage, the numbers growing rapidly.

"Stop! Its Fly! Remember? Fly, the bird man!" he gets grabbed "Nononononononono!" before getting flung to the other side of the room, and hitting the glass wall, a small crack forming, and falling to the ground, a yellow mist seeping out of him as his feathers and wings grow back. He swoops over the floor, the momentum used to his advantage before he stops at the opposite wall.

'The outdoors is just out of this wall..... I'm sorry...... but, this is my way out of here!' Sirens start to blare as people in the stands have reached a call button 'Come on! Hit me with your best shot!'

The girl who now resembles a tentacle monster from some fucked up anime throws strong appendage to Fly, before crashing through the wall. 'Great job, kid!' He flies to where the table is, before grabbing a needle, and flying back to the girl from behind, and jabbing it into her twisted neck, where she calms down right away, and starts to go back to the normal teenage form.

"I've got you... don't worry" he jumps into the sky, flying through the hole, and up high into the sky, dodging the bullets that fly his way. "We're gonna get someplace safe...." 'I hope...'

~~~~~

42 miles later, Fly spots a town in the distance, just barely gliding now, tired from the long flight.

"I-I Promise you on my l-life.... we will get to a safe place soon...." 'Because I'll otherwise die...'

The Badlands

“Hey, Mac, how’s the family been?” Thunderlane and Big Macintosh are riding the train to visit Appleloosa, Mac needed to visit and Thunderlane tagging along. “Has Braeburn got a girl yet?”

“Eenope.”

“Thought so…” The train is still a few miles away from the town, about 3 miles to be exact. Thunderlane is looking out the window, when he gasps.

“Mac! Did you see that?!” He shakes Big Mac’s shoulder, and points to a blob in the sky that is falling, all power lost in its system.

“Hmm…. Nope.”

“It looked like a person! We need to save them!” he hops up, and runs to the side of the train, where he pulls at a string that activates the emergency brakes, the train lurching in response. He runs to the door, right as a man steps into the room

“Who pulled the brakes?!” The man’s voice carries throughout the cart

“Me, sir, I saw a man out there! He fell from the sky. We need to save him!”

“Where?” Thunderlane points to a part of the badlands, where he last saw the creature.

“Out there!” He jumps out of the train, and runs to the spot “Hurry! They’re in danger!” Nobody moves. “Guys…? Come on… We need to save them”

“I’m not going out there.” Some guy says

“Its dangerous” a girl shouts

“I don’t want to die” another guy speaks up

“Fine them! Come on Mac, you’re coming, right?” Thunderlane stomps the ground with his right foot

“Eenope.”

“Macintosh Appleston! You should be ashamed! Did Granny Smith teach you that way?”

“Nope….” Mac walks off the train, and to Thunderlane “Git goin”

“You have 10 minutes before we leave, now go, we don’t have all day” The conductor shouts to them.

“Good” They walk off into the badlands, the train waiting for them

~~~~~

With Thunderlane flying overhead with his slate grey wings, they spot the fallen person rather quickly. In fact they only took 2 minutes and 37 seconds to spot them, and an extra minute for Macintosh to get to the clearing.

"Wow.... look at that!" Thunderlane picks up the creature's grey wings "Look at all these feathers." Macintosh catches up to Thunderlane, and picks Fly up. Thunderlane looks at the ground, and sees the petite girl there, all of the clothes torn.

"I've got the girl. Lets get back to the train before it leaves us."

"Eeyup" They start to go back, Thunderlane taking the skies and the girl, coping a feel when no one was looking, and Macintosh going through the rough terrain, taking the same route as the way there.

~~~~~

They get back to the tracks right as the whistle blows to signal that the train is leaving. Thunderlane lands next to the train, and puts the girl inside, before flying back to Macintosh to help him get on, holding Fly so that Macintosh can run. They both get on the train right as it lurches forward, both of them out of breath. Thunderlane from carrying two humans, and Macintosh from the running through the rough terrain.

"We've got them...." Thunderlane drags the girl to an empty seat, before taking off his over shirt, and covering her with it, the shirt being large enough to cover her all the way. "How does your family put up with the damn heat?"

"They aint whinin like you" Mac starts to chuckle

"Shut it" Thunderlane joins in, and soon they both start to laugh

~~~~~

As the train arrives in Appleloosa, people file out onto the train station.

"Mac.... what are we going to do with them...? We cant just bring them to a hospital, there isnt one in town."

"We keep em safe"

"I guess..." Thunderlane goes to pick up the Girl, who hasn't moved an inch, and Macintosh goes to grab Fly, who has started to pant. As Thunderlane carries the girl in his arms, the shirt starts to move up slowly, yet neither of them notices it. They walk to Braeburn's house, and knock on the door 4 times.

"Braeburn, its Mac." The door opens to reveil the man known as Braeburn, who runs up to Macintosh and hugs him

"Mac! How long has it been?"

"One month and Twenty-Seven Days."

"Keeping count there?" Thunderlane throws in a comment with a stiffened giggle

"Who's this guy? Your boyfriend?"

"I'm his best friend!" he notices a small spark in Braeburn's eyes from that statement.

"Eeyup" obviously in response to Braeburn

"Wait, what?" Thunderlane turns his head to Macintosh with a blush, before they all start laughing

"Come in, come in, I want to show you what Ah've been working on."

~~~~~

"How cool is this? Ah made it myself" There is a contraption that is powered by a crank, that builds up power, and then shoots out a hoof like object that would knock the apples out of trees

"Wow.... Rather simple, but it seems like it would work." Thunderlane walks around the contraption and pokes it a few times

"Its awesome, cousin" This causes Braeburn to smile

"Hate to ruin this reunion, but I think they need help" Thunderlane points to Fly and the girl, who are both struggling in their slumber.

"Eeyup" They move to help the two guest, now getting to see the dirt, scratches, bruises, scabs, and dried blood.

"Ugh.... Braeburn, go get a First-Aid kit, Mac, get me some water." Braeburn hurries to a bathroom where he keeps his kit, and he comes back with it. Macintosh leaves to the kitchen, and comes back with a bag of water. When Thunderlane receives the kit, he looks through it, and pulls out a soft sponge, before dipping it in the received water, and cleaning off the cuts, before pulling some bandages and putting them on the girl. He pulls out a solution and puts it on a bigger cut and wraps medical tape over it after cleaning it up too. "Start up a warm bath while I treat the bird guy" They go upstairs and start a tub, while Thunderlane walks to Fly on another couch, before doing the same he did to the girl, treating his wounds.

"Ouch.... you're way worse than the girl.... all banged up. I'm surprised you aren't bleeding gallons per second." He starts to wrap a wing in a bandage, before hearing the running water stop and looking to the stairs. 'Lets hope they keep the water warm so that we can wash him too' he looks back to Fly, and notices tiny holes where he was shot with the tranquilizer darts "What did this? Lets find out later" he cleans off Fly the best he can, before leaving him alone and walking upstairs to check on the Apples, running into Braeburn on the way up

"I'll git the girl" Braeburn stops when he sees Thunderlane "I'm gitting the girl, anything else we can do to help?"

"Oh, uh, thanks, you can help me clean her" he pauses to see any reaction in Braeburn's eyes. 'None?'

"No problem" they each nod, before going to do their tasks.

~~~~~

Fly creaks his left eye open as he wakes up, part of a routine to know if its a good time to show any signs of waking. 'Ha! All clear' he looks around the room, and sees the front door ajar from their rush to help Fly and his friend. He starts to sit up, and look around, before noticing a pile of clothes nearby and the lack of clothes on his body. he rushes over and puts them on, before sighing in relief. He sits down on the couch, and starts thinking

'Where am I? Certainly not in that lab..... this place is too nice to be from there... theres a carpet.... sofa.... 311's clothes.... wait..... where is she? Oh, crap.... he looks around for the girl, and not finding anything, he gets up, and rushes to and up the stairs to hear thrashing in water. 'Oh, crap, the're drowning her!' he rushes to the source of the sound, and causes the Apples to look at Fly as he skids to a stop when he realizes that they are giving her a bath. He gulps, before speaking up "Hi..." and waving at them with his right hand. he notices that the girl stops thrashing when she sees Fly and instead tries to get up and run to him. She gets out of the bath, but slips on the tile of the bathroom, and struggles stand up. 'Shes safe...'

"2-230!" the girl yells out as she struggles to stand

"Hi..." he runs over to try and help her stand, before slipping as well on the water that has dripped from the girl, and causing her to fall over again. Due to her being naked, it was very akward as his hand was latching her breast a bit tightly. Fly removes his hand with a blush and looks around to see Mac shuffling around with a blush, but Braeburn not turned on in the least bit. 'Yep... hes gay'
