the pegasus device gains a brain, consciousness and the ability to freely think. now with a new form, a new mind, and a hunger for vengeance, he sets out to kill rainbow dash, atmosphere, and all else who created him, forcing him to kill so many...

loading memory....

OW! what the fuck was that? hey.. why can't i see?!

loading vision...

ah, that's better... i look around, and i see countless workers all scurrying about, holding spanners and wrenches  as they climb onto me, apparently fixing bits on.

loading weapons...

what the hell? i see a huge mechanical arm descend, but when i try to move it, i find i have no control, as if it has a mind of it's own. on its end, a sharp, knife-like metal blade is attached, looking like its meant to kill. what the heck is going on here!?

"BRING IN THE FAILURE!"

what the hell? why is there a filly strapped to a board? why is she getting closer to that knife?...

"AHHHHH- *SHING*"

WHOA! WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!? DID THAT JUST STAB HER?!, wait.. what the hell is that tube doing... is that blood?!

shit... her body's turning grey, it's draining her blood... wait what the hell!? is that turning it into colors?.

*many days and many murders pass*

*shing!*

NO MORE! NO FUCKING MORE!

i just can't bear it.... my mind is slowly buckling, day by day. i hate every moment of my existence. the scream of a foal as the blade claims their life, the bellow of the gears in my back as the corpse is destroyed, and the scream of pistons, pumping the spectra into huge vats.

i use this however... i use the pain and rage to fuel my hatred. Rainbow dash... How far have you fallen? you used to be a sane, reasonable pony... Now you're a bloodthirsty shadowed husk of your former self.

"You are getting a new upgrade"

"What is it? Cause if it's gonna be a slaughter enjoyment upgrade, then you can take it, AND SHOVE IT UP ATMOSPHERE'S ARSE!!!"

"Incorrect!"

"What then?"

"You are getting a new weapon and form upgrade. The new weapon will make harvesting easier, the new form upgrade speaks for itself."

"CANCEL IT!" Even though no-one hear it, my voice is cracking in terror, as the whole thing just allows me to murder at a faster rate. I feel my mechanical heart hammering in my chest, like the beat of a huge drum.

I feel my core shutting down, presumably so I can have the upgrades done.

Well... Here comes a new time.....zzzzzzz....

Waking up....

Ow! I'm awake, I'm awake, dammit!

What the... This is new...

Instead of my old body, I have huge caterpillar tracks to act like legs, my mane is a rainbow coloured fog, two huge pipes jut from the sides of my neck, like massive exhausts. Instead of that goddamn blade-arm, I have one long arm that ends with a grabbing claw, the other has a small hole in, presumably for the killing equipment. My face looks like a skull, my eyes expressionless, but somehow, I manage a grim smile.

I twist my head 180° and I see what looks like a bank of rotating gears on my back, presumably for body disposal.

Seeing a small notebook, I use some spilt oil to write :

TO DO:

1: make a to do list

2: MAKE RAINBOW DASH AND ATMOSPHERE SUFFER A SLOW! FUCKING! PAINFUL! DEATH!

Hearing insane laughter, I head off toward the docking part of this hellhole, where they bring in new victims, my smokey mane trails behind like a veil as I give a small, twisted, unseen smile.

"Welcome to the rainbow factory!!!"

silently, I snarl in anger as I hear atmosphere going on with his over-glorified reasons on how 'helping equestria'

Grinning, I roll forward

"Dr! did you hear that?"

"What?"

*RRRRRUMBLE*

"Like huge rolling tracks..."

*RRRUMBLE"

They still haven't got it? THERE IS A GIANT, PISSED OFF KILLING MACHINE BEHIND YOU, THICK-O's

"It's coming closer..."

I rumble into full view, light glinting on my metal body, illuminating my creepy metal grin, the surprised guards looks, and the terrified foals.

"What the fuck?!"

"Holy shit!"

"Is that... The pegasus device?!"

Grinning horribly, I point to a brand on my chest reading 'pegasus device'

"IT'S ALIVE! ITS ALIVE!" Contrail yells, laughing madly straight afterwards

He seriously has some fucked up head....

I hear atmosphere tell me to kill the foals, but I grab a guard and throw him in the

introduction

When the rainbow factory created the pegasus device, they thought he wasn't alive. for a time, they were right. but when the core of him was installed, something... changed. he gained a brain, the ability to think. yet he could never use it. his programming had his mind locked down tight, able to think, unable to stop any of his actions.

He hates his job. many days, he wishes to scream, to roar, to bellow his hate and his sorrow to the world. and more than anything else, he wants revenge. he wants revenge for countless murders, all by his forced hand. he wants rainbow dash, Dr atmosphere, contrail, all of them.... he wants them dead. yet he cannot do it. or can he?

this is the story of his origins, his backstory and the tale of blood, bolts and fury. This is the story... Of the pegasus device.
