Running Low
Hello, this is Electric Radiation reporting in. This is my story about the Human named Ram, who used to worked for NEVEC.
It was August 11, when he first arrived. He had called himself Ram, he had also said something about being from a group called NEVEC and being from a planet called EDN3. We had never figured out on how he arrived here.
He was a rebel with NEVEC. NEVEC was trying to harvest all of the substance known as Thermal Energy which the whole planet ran off of. Ram took part in a huge uprising and was able to send NEVECs plan down the drain. It was a long story which he had told me a lot about it. Everything he had told me was amazing, the technology, going into space, it felt like something out of a Sci fi movie or something.
His technology was amazing, he wouldn't discuss his suit much but he did show me a device on his arm which he had called a Harmonizer, he told me about how it could turn Thermal Energy into regenerating himself if he had gotten hurt. I wanted to try and obtain this technology but there were a few problems. First was that he had everyone here in Equestria thought that they were at war with the human. Second I was the only pony that would actually tried to make friends with him. It had taken a few days but I was able to get him to talk to me.
All I could get from Ram the first few days was that he was looking for Thermal Energy so that he could replenish his reserves. He tried explaining what it was too me but all I could think of was maybe somehow trying to charge his device with my magic, being a unicorn in all. We tried several times using different methods but was unsuccessful.
We worked trying to find a solution to his problem but, everything was going good until Celestia found out about Ram. She wanted him to surrender over too her but when he had refused to do so, he had become wanted by the whole country and I was going to be charged with helping him. This had put me in a bad situation being an outlaw, but I wasn't going to let my new friend be turned into a prisoner for doing nothing.
August 12, Ram has only been here two days and has the whole country after him. He shot a few of the perusing guards killing them in their tracks with some kind of energy gun. I noticed he only used it when he was forced too, I found out later when we were safe from our pursuers that his weapon used the Thermal Energy. With everything I was learning, it seemed that this Thermal Energy gave him life and everything but he corrected me. It gave him powers to heal and many other things. This was no ordinary element or substance and I wanted to see it more than ever. My friend was vulnerable without it apparently.
In the afternoon we hiked up to the mountains to get away from our Celestia and her army. Ram had been looking exhausted from our hike. During our entire brake Ram didn't say a word, I had just stood there waiting for him to finish resting.
August 30, I can't believe that we have both lasted this long. But how much further can Ram continue? I could tell he wouldn't make it another week, his Thermal energy was almost depleted. Celestia and her army was closing in on our position. I had started to fear for our lives, but even though he was almost out of Thermal energy, he showed no fear. Around 12 P.M. Ram told me to leave him so that I would not get killed, but I chose to stand by his side which I knew he couldn't figure out why.
At nightfall we had made a small camp with a fire and I had used my magic to catch a few fish for Ram which he had eaten thankfully. He started talking about his home planet , describing it to me. He made it sound like a paradise except for the revolution that was going on. While I continued to listen to him talk, he took a necklace off and put it around my neck. Ram told me that I could keep it since I stayed with him this whole journey. It was an honor to receive such a gift from someone of his current position. I wore it proudly and still do. But nothing could prepare us for what the next day held.
August 31, Celestia and her army had finally caught up to us. She wanted us to give up peacefully and no harm would come. I looked at Ram who held his gun steady ready waiting. I yelled at Celestia and her army begging them to stop this blood hunt. She didn't listen to me at all but she gripped me with her magic and threw me against a tree.
Ram saw me laying at the tree and started to shoot all the ponies, at this point he didn't care about his Thermal reserves and how low they were. While the enemies retreated Ram came up too me and asked me if I was ok and I told him yes, I'm alright.
While I got up Ram had put his weapon down.
"Ram what are you doing?"
"Electric, I am out of Thermal Energy, my weapons are useless now."
When he had said those words, I realized that the end was coming. Or at least thought it was until I was hit over the back of the head with something.
September 7, I was in court for helping a creature while others wanted him dead. I hoped they would burn in hell for killing Ram. He had done no wrong except trying to figure out his situation. Sure he had to kill a few of your guards princess but he did it in self defense.
"Princess Celestia, that is all I have to say to you, you had your men murder my friend and you have not provided me an answer for why you ordered him dead. I am not afraid of you. Do with me as you will but remember this, we did nothing wrong."
"Court is dismissed Electric Radiation, you are banished from Equestria forever. Your testimony is false since I cannot prove your trustworthy", Princess Celestia said.
"Gladly, I don't want to live where innocent people are killed for no reason... Also it doesn't help you had my companion.... friend killed who would of said the same.
