Healing of the Scarred

Down the Rabbit HoleBy Vital Heart

In the ruins of the once great city of Canterlot, one pony could be seen if you were looking for him. That pony's name is Broken Heart, or more formally known as Vengeance, since he never really told anyone his name it was his only name. Vengeance became his name after he avenged his families murder, the worlds most dangerous gang torn to shreds, literally,  by a foal. The weapons on the pony where well know to be one of a kind, the Paramond, a C3-0AP7, a crimson plasma blade, and the Angel of Death. The type of armor he was wearing was the last of its kind, the I.P.A.C.. But what people except Vengeance don't know about is that his brother, Shining Beacon, is the AI that helps him.

As Vengeance was making his way towards the ruined castle that Princess Platinum died in, he started up a conversation with Shining "Hey Shining, what are we looking for again?" Asked Vengeance

"Well, it's a device that the Canterlot Scientist were working on before the holocaust started," Shining answered "it was supposed to enable us to back in time."

Vengeance smirked slightly "So it's a device to go back and change to watch yourself get dressed." he said jokingly.

"Oh hah hah, at least I'm proud of my appearance." Shining shot back.

"Okay,okay is that all it does and what are the risks." Vengeance pressed on the matter at hoof

"No, it can also be used to travel dimensions, which was what they where hoping on accomplishing ." Shining said in a slightly depressed tone.

"They couldn't do it?" Vengeance asked.

"No it was successful, but Canterlot fell before they could test any further." Shining said, Vengeance knew is brother well enough to not ask what happened to the researchers.

  And he instead asked "Where is the facility at?"

Shining was silent for a moment "There should be a secret entrance behind Princess Platinum throne." Vengeance galloped off at full speed, which was 240 mph wearing the suit with the attachments, and reached the door in no time

"Alright I'm here at throne, how do I get in." he asked Shining

"Well you're going to have to break through to entry, try not to make too much noise, I can sense a group of minotaurs entering the castle." Shining informed. And with that Vengeance slammed a hoof down onto the steel trapdoor, breaking it off it's hinges and sent it clattering down the stairwell. Vengeance ran down the stairs as fast as he could and reached the end after a few seconds.

"They heard that, and it looks like they're just the scouting party." Shining warned "Oh mother of all things holy and pure, that's a lot of minotaurs and griffons are entering through the roof, we better get a move on if we're going to find that device and get out in one piece." Shining said with obvious freight evident in his voice.

"Don't worry, the room is right around this corner with a fifteen inch titanium blast door right."Vengeance tried to reassure his brother while he rounded the corner. When he got to the door he plugged in his AI microchip, there was a ding and the blast door split in two and allowed enough room to hold one pony to move through. Vengeance grabbed the chip and ran through the door, the griffons were closing in and he didn't have much time before they got to the door. After he got through the door he plugged the chip back in and ran towards the device that looked like it had been made yesterday. As soon the door was closed Vengeance heard a distinct thudding noise as he walked over to get his AI chip.

"So is this how it ends Broken." Shining said as he was plugged back in.

"Yeah, that's what it looks like." Vengeance said with terrifying calmness.

"After all you had done, only to die stopping the Kohan from getting their hands on a machine that could give them the ability to cause more damage than what they had done, damn your heroic." Shining said with beaming with respect for his brother.

"Not without bringing as many of the monsters with me." Vengeance said as he placed down the last charge near the reactor.

"This explosion should be more than enough the leave nothing of these demons in flesh." Shining deduced with serious tone

"Whenever you get like that Shining you think of some way to save my life, what do you think that this suit can survive a point blank nuclear explosion." Vengeance said with a little humor in his voice.

"No, I think you should put that portal to some use other than a tide-shifting bomb." Shining said slightly embarrassed that he was so easy to read.

"So you want me to go back in time or something?" Vengeance asked completely oblivious to the plan Shining offered.

"No you buffoon, I mean to go to a different dimension." Shining said with a deadpanned look on his pix-elated  face.

"Oh, how long do you think that will take." Vengeance said with a serious tone not one to fight with his brother.

"Not long, I just need to find the right one." Shining said with pride evident in his voice.

"So after the star explodes, or is it going to be longer" Vengeance said playfully

"Oh hah hah, just plug me in and turn the species outside extinct." Shining said slightly annoyed

"Okay, how are they getting in though?" Vengeance asked with so much seriousness, that it would best ten Chormes, HANDS DOWN

"They got a minotaur cannon setup outside the door and is getting ready to shoot." Shining said matter-of-factually through the inter-com inside the armor as he was pulled out of the mainframe and plugged into the device.

Vengeance trotted off to the end of the hallway and readied his C3-0AP7. For those of you who don't know what the C3 can do, it's basically an overpowered semi-automatic shotgun. The C3 can rip through Mez-12 shields in two shots and if it hits a living organism, that thing is gone, literally, if hit your bodied is dissolved into nothing, not even ashes. Back on track, Vengeance stayed completely still until the cannon and the Kohan rushed in.

He fired a multitude of at various rushers hitting all targets and some behind them. Then they started up the shields and got ready to advance, big mistake on their end, because the shields couldn't even stop the round fired. Then the hail of bullets pounded Vengeance so hard that he wobbled for a bit before reopened fire. With so many griffons and minotaurs swarming the entrance, he would have to fall back soon.

"It's ready."  was shouted over the intercom and he rushed for the board, and grabbed Shining and  jumped through the portal. As he was flying down the tunnel, the explosives ignited and messed up the land location, badly. When he appeared, he took one look around and saw a large forest, a town, and Canterlot was a ways behind him. Then he looked down, and screamed like filly as he fell.
