rainbow factory: nemesis

“are you even sure that this is going to work?” rainbow dash’s hissed voice sounded in the tunnel as they advanced toward the tube with ‘nemesis’ marked on the seal.

“yes, it will work… nemesis is programmed to destroy any intruders or unauthorized personnel, and he far exceeds the power of the other 17 failed test subjects” atmosphere replied as the tube slowly slid open, and out stepped a pony.

He was dark grey, with a red and black mane, his black coat symbolised him like an elite of some sort as he slowly stepped forward and, seeing a nearby rocket launcher, he grabbed it as he groaned “terminate….” Almost zombie-like, he then marched off toward the last known location of the mane six in the factory.

Rainbow looked slightly shocked as she said “well… it looks like the project is a success… I’ll give credit when it’s due, but that seems to be the most effective bio-weapon yet, after the other 17 all went stark-raving-super-lunatic-cuckoo crazy!”

Nemesis POV

(Author’s note: the red italics are when nemesis’s real mind is speaking, the blue are the other)

I walk along the corridor, hearing my hooves thud against the ground as I see my objectives flashing in front, like a computer’s orders

Mission: terminate applejack, pinkie pie, fluttershy, twilight sparkle, rarity and eliminate all unauthorized personnel

Secondary objective: bring bodies for experimentation.

Truthfully, I guess I should introduce myself. My designation is nemesis, but my true name is black lightning. I was caught by the factory, attempting to hack the main computers to access the data within…

I can only just remember my original memories, due to a mix of experimentation, my memories altered, then a NE-ϑ parasite was implanted in my skull, so unless through extreme circumstances, I would never be able to break my programming or retrieve any memories…

I round a corner and I hear two voices in my skull, like my actual mind and my artificial one, arguing:

You are here to kill! KILL!

Fuck off, don’t kill them, they may be able to help find a cure to your infection!

Shove off!

F*ck you!

I just keep on marching, unable to stop myself…
