New Loyalty

Project: New loyalty

June 17th, 2047

Location: Area 51

Budget: Unknown

Quantity of new droids: Unknown

Governments involved in project: U.S, U.K, Canada, Germany, United Korea, Austrila, Japan, Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Jordan, and India.

"Sir, are you positive this project is going to be worth taxpayer money?" said Nicholas.

"Yes, the new era of droids will be created in protecting our military power where ever it may be. So far, only our allies know of this project. The Chinese nor the Russians know of this project," said Gen. Jackson.

"What's the project called again?" said Capt. Alex.

"The project is called 'Project: New Loyalty.' These droids will be loyal to our fellow soldiers on the battle field at any given time," replied Jackson.

All three men walked in the hallways of the underground facility of Area 51 to go into the room that had one of the first made droids to serve in the U.S military.

The lights are turned on by the time they enter the room. Capt. Alex had wide eyes when looking at the droid that was still offline.

"Hehe. . . Hahaahahha! Are you serious? This is what the droid looks like? Are you kidding me? It's a freaking ponybot! Why in the name of god did our government want to make a droid that looks like a pony? Did the budget of the project get cut or what?" Capt. Alex just couldn't help himself.

"No, Capt. Alex. The budget was not cut in any way. Please. Stop laughing," ordered Gen. Jackson.

"Sorry. It's just. . . it's just too funny, to say the least sir," said Capt. Alex.

The ponybot was cyan blue, with its mane a rainbow color and with its tail the same color. It also had black markings on its face, head, legs, and a few on its back, wings, and below its body, indicating how it was put together without any problems. The back part of it had its symbols on both sides of its flank. Gen. Jackson called the symbols on its flanks a'Cutie mark', showing what type of ponybot it was made to be.

The symbols on it were of a cloud with a lightning bolt of different colors coming out of it.

"As you may know, the droid is called RD-115. She was made just a few days go when the project was announced good for a go by our government," said Gen. Jackson.

"Can you tell us more about this ponybot, sir?" asked Nicholas.

"Well," started Gen. Jackson,"this ponybot is different than the others we made so far. She'll have free will to what she wants to do. We made her to command all the other ponybots when it comes to being deployed over seas."

"Wait," started Cpt. Alex, "isn't that kind of dangerous to have a robot have its own mind than it being controlled by a human with controls to keep it from going rogue on us? That's very serious, General," stated Cpt. Alex.

"What do you mean by that, Captain Alex?" asked Gen. Jackson.

"Have you ever seen the movie Terminator before? When the U.S. military activated Skynet, it almost wiped out the whole human race. Not to mention it was also creating droids to take out the surviving humans after the nuclear missiles were all launched from every part of the world. How can you be sure what happened in a movie won't happen in reality?"

"You don't have to worry about that, Captain Alex. All droids have the most advanced software on the market. The software that was installed in her stops any viruses or hackers from gaining access to her mainframe to make her go rouge. That also goes for all the other droids we made so far," answered Gen. Jackson.

"Hmmm. . ." said Capt. Alex.

"Can you tell us more about the her, sir?" asked Nicholas.

"Yes," answered Gen. Jackson. "The body of the droids are capable of withstanding any type of fire power it gets exposed to. Say, for example, an RPG were to hit it, it would not have any damage to it. Or if a powerful bomb were to be dropped on it, it would still not suffer any damage to its body. That's how indestructible we made the droids to be: to survive no matter how powerful the weapon can be."

"Wow," said Cpt. Alex. "Sounds to me the budget goes beyond the billion dollar range."

"The droids are equipped with plasma cannons, invisible cloaking to keep them from being detected by the enemies' radar, can call for backup if it needed it, fly into the skies to take out enemy aircraft, etc. We have tested it in many environments to see if anything would go wrong with them. Surprisingly, not one slight problem has happened," stated Gen. Jackson.

"Anymore info on it?" asked Cpt. Alex.

"Yes, but I can't tell you the whole 9-yards of it."

"Well, why not General?"

"Because I was given only the basics of the project. I'm not even sure why our government has kept a few classified documents from its own military to look at. It could just be they suspect that somebody could give away all the info on it. Buts that's me just thinking."

"Hmmmm. . . that's very interesting to know, General Jackson," said Nicholas.

"Anyhow, RD-115 is a very special droid for us and our allies to have. Also, if you didn't know, she's also in command of the droids. I think it's because since she has free will, she can give orders to the other droids. That's just one of the few things I was given about the project," said Gen. Jackson.

"That's good I guess," said Cpt. Alex.

All three men left the room and the lights were turned off when the door was shut down.

"Uhhhhhh. . ." I said.

What's going on?

Where the buck am I exactly?

My sight is still blurry. I can't see to save my flank.

I decided to just wait 'til my vision was no longer blurry for me to see where I was. I could see that I was in some big room and I could see what looked like two figures just looking at me. I think.

I couldn't tell who they were. They were standing up on both legs. It indicated that they were bipedal figures.

Finally, my vision was going back to normal now. I could finally see what was going on.

Before I could respond to the bipedal figures, one of them walked over to me. This one was about 6' 3" tall, with blue eyes, black hair, a white skin color, clothes that were blue, along with colorful ribbons on the upper left part of the pocket. On his upper right pocket showed me his name: 'John'.

John slowly placed his right hand on top of my mane and slowly stroked it. I didn't mine at all. It actually felt nice really. For some reason, I was humming in the process.

"Seems you like having your mane stroked, RD-115," John chuckled.

"Hehehe. . . yeah," I laughed softly.

"You seem to be acting correctly. No sign of any malfunction in your systems. That's good thing," said John.

"Systems?" I asked curiously.

"Oh! You must not have been uploaded with the all the data in your data base. You're a ponybot that our government has created to serve in our military and for allies."

"Really?" I said.

"Yep, pretty much."

"That's. . . so. . . AWESOME!" I squealed in glee.

"My, my. You really are a more special droid than the others, RD-115." The other bipedal figure was right next to John.

This one still had the same clothes like John. The only thing that was different about his appearance was he was 5' 9" tall; shorter than John. He had blonde hair, a white skin tone, and his eyes were a light green color.

The name he went by was 'Bob'. He also had another tag on him that said 'U.S Air Force'. Which means he. . . knew how to fly? Well, it does say 'Air' on the second name tag.

"So, what did you mean there are 'more' droids like me, John? Is it possible for me to see them?" I asked.

"You can't right now. They're still offline. They'll come online in the next week," replied John.

"Oh. Okay," I said.

"If want, you can explore this base if you want to. It's a pretty big facility to tell you the truth. You have a digital map giving you the layout of the base from above ground and underground. You don't need to worry about anything so far. You have free will to do as you please," said John.

"That sounds cool," I replied with a smile.

"If you need anything, just send out your signal so we can see where you are," said Bob.

Both John and Bob turned around and opened the door to leave the room I was in.

Well, this is going to be awesome to see what this place looks like. I might as well get up now and fly around to see what my eyes can see to attract my interests.

In so doing, I got up and went flying in the air to leave the room I was in. The door was still open, so I didn't need to worry about trying to opening it with my hooves.

The map I was uploaded with showed me that there were about 70 rooms in the underground part of the base. I looked to see which room would be the best one to explore. One of the rooms was called 'U.S Arsenal', telling me that's where the humans keep a large part of their weapons they use here.

Another room I looked on my map was called 'TOP SECRET: NOT TO BE OPENED UNLESS TOLD TO DO SO!'. Something tells me there's something in that room they do not want to open just yet.

I was still scanning to see if there was a room that was worth going in to. Still no luck.

A few minutes have already passed now. I was starting to get bored and just wanted to go to sleep for now. Before I could think of temporarily going offline, I looked at one room's name that seemed to catch my eye.

The name of the room was called 'Transportation without the need of going in any vehicle in the world.'

Seems to be promising. The room was located not too far where I was flying. I had to make a left in the other hallway, go straight, make right, and reach the door that said what it was talking about.

You know what was so strange to me? How come there were no military personnel in the hallways? Did they die over how bored they were? I laughed, just thinking about what I had just said.

I could see a window on my left side to help me know what was going on exactly in the room. There were about three humans in it. They were working on some huge machine that almost touched the ceiling of the room.

I was trying to think about what this machine was exactly. I know it didn't seem to be a weapon of any kind. The one thing I knew was it looked like you could go into it. It was big and wide enough to have a person walk into. Maybe it was some kind of machine that could take somebody to another place. Not here. But somewhere else.

I went to the front door to see if I could open it. The door had a card swipe to where only people with a ID card would be allowed to gain access to the room this machine was in. It also had an eye scanner to scan a person's eyes to see if that person matched the same eyes in the data banks.

I'm pretty sure if I were to put my eye right at the eye scanner it wouldn't let me in. Well, here goes nothing.

I pressed the button for the eye scanner to scan my eyes. It took about a few seconds for it to process the information to match any person who might have the same eyes in the data banks to access the room.

Match Found. Welcome RD-115.

*Click. Click.*

The door opened up after the clicks were over.

'Wow. I didn't expect that it would allow a droid to gain access to high level room for only military personal to walk in,' I thought to myself.

The humans didn't know I was in the room now. They were still working on the machine. I think it wouldn't be too bad to scare them of out their pants. 'Hehehe. . . I feel so evil just thinking about it,' I thought to myself.

It was time to go off the radar. I activated my cloaking device to turn invisible so they would not know that I was about to scare the apples out of them.

One of them turned around to see the door was open for some reason. The human tapped his other friends to have them turn around to see why the door was open.

"Ummm. . . was that door always open?" said the first one.

"I do recall it being closed," said the second one.

"It's probably just a glitch in the system," said the third one.

I walked over to them, knowing that they didn't know what was going to scare them to death.

"Let's just get back to work on this ma-" I flew up and turned off my invisible cloaking device and just screamed to the top of my voice.

All three engineers took a few steps backwards and screamed while doing so.

"HHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHH! You should see your faces now! HAHAHHA! Oh man. That was so worth it!" I went back on the ground and started laughing my flank off. I felt so bad for the engineers. My sensors indicated their heart rates were fairly high as of now.

"Hehehehe. . . you guys really made me laugh my flank off today! I just couldn't resist doing that to you guys." I started to get back on fours to walk up to them.

"Why did you have to go that far in scaring the crap out of us, RD-115?!" yelled the first Engineer.

"That was not fun at all!" yelled the second one.

"I'm gonna have nightmares over how loud you screamed!" This human was just shivering in absolute fear over how I scared him.

"This means one thing," I said calmly.

"What would that be then?" all three said in unison.

"I won the contest in how I could scare the apples out of all three of you," I happily said.

"Well," one of the humans was chuckling now. "You got us good, RD-115."

"I agree with Ed," said Luther.

"Indeed," said Michael.

"So, what brings you here, RD-115?" asked Michael.

"I was wondering what you guys were working on." I used my hoof to point to the machine they were working on.

"Oh, that? This machine is supposed to help transport our soldiers into battle quicker than them having to go and use an airplane to land at an airport somewhere on the battlefield. Plus, it's supposed to help save a couple million dollars to save on building airplanes and such," said Luther.

"We haven't been able to fully get it to act right with us. We checked all the systems, wires, buttons and everything else. It's still not working right." Ed crossed his arms, letting us know he was getting annoyed in seeing the teleportation machine not work with them.

"I could help you guys get it to work," I said.

"Really? That's great!" Ed said in glee.

"By all means, try and see what you can do to get it to fully function right," said Michael.

"I'll see what I can do," I replied.

All three men walked away from the machine and walked right by me to the other side of the room.

Now it's time to see how a droid can get this machine to work properly. I bet I can fix this in three seconds flat!

I walked towards the control panel to see if there was any problem with the way it was designed. I scanned the whole machine to see if there was even the slightest problem the engineers could not get to work correctly.

I found the problem. It was so easy to figure it out. They forgot to plug in one more wire and then press the codes to get the machine to turn on.

I flew up and went behind to see where the wire was not plugged into the machine. There were so many wires from behind. I counted at least a hundred wires plugged into the machine.

Scanners detected where the wire was located. I carefully grabbed the wire with both hooves and plugged it into the hole.

'Okay. Done with that part. Now to type in the codes to really get this machine fired up,' I told myself.

I flew back up again and went to the control panel to press in the codes.

"256-230-Alpha-42-789-224-897-266." I then pressed the 'Enter' button to fully activate the machine.

The machine started to come online. The color of the portal was purple and white; swirling slowly like it was never disturbed.

I turned to see all the engineers' jaws wide open. Ed dropped his clip board while Michael and Luther looked like they had seen a ghost.

"Y-you're more intelligent than us humans, RD-115," Ed stammered in his sentence.

"Told you I could solve your problems," I said.

"Since that problem is long gone now, we can now have an object tossed right into the portal to see if it really does go into another location in the world." Michael seemed to not be as stressed now.

"I could be the first to see if it works right, Michael." I just felt like wanting to see where I might go when going right into the portal.

"That's not a bad idea," said Luther.

"Go right ahead. Just tell us where you might get trans-" Ed was cut off when the sound of gun shots were heard from outside our room.

"Fall back! Fall back! We can't destroy it! We need to mov- AHHHHHHHHHH!" I heard a soldier scream and. . . was silenced. Forever.

"Bravo team, on me! We have to shut it down. This one is not going down without a f-AHHHH!" Another human being was silenced.

All I could hear were the sounds of more gun shots and more screams coming from the soldiers.

"You will all die at the hooves of NMM-13 humans! You can not escape me! You will ALL die! HAHAAHAHAHAH!" This was not a human saying that sentence. It was one of the droids that the military created for combat.

I could hear one last gun shot and nothing else. It was complete silence. Then, without making a sudden move, the door was beingg banged on. The door wasn't going to stand much longer.

"Guys, get your weapons. NOW!" ordered Michael.

"What about me?" I said.

"You have got to get into that portal and find a safer place than here, RD-115. I'm not sure what's gotten into this ponybot. But you have to leave immediately," ordered Ed.

"I-I. . . I understand. I will follow your orders precisely, Ed." I really wanted to help them. But I guess they'll stay safe from the NNM-13 droid.

I walked up to the platform to go inside the portal. I didn't look back while doing so. All I could hear were the sounds of the door being broke open and the sounds of the engineers screaming and firing their guns.

Finally, I entered the portal.

Ponyville, Equestria

11:32 AM

"Spike, give me the new spell book Princess Celestia gave me yesterday. I need to learn the new spells to help me get better in my magic abilities," I said.

"Yawn. Isn't it already too late to do new spells, Twilight? You usually don't stay awake at this hour." Spike was right, to say the least.

"I understand you want to learn new stuff, Twilight. But I think it would be a good idea to keep your strength up for tomorrow morning."

"You're right, Spike," I replied.

I decided that it probably was time to hit the bed to not feel sleepy for tomorrow morning. I turned off the lights and walked to my bed.

Right before I even got a chance to get in my bed, a loud blast rattled my library. I thought I was going to lose my balance in the process.

"What. Was. That?" Spike started to shake.

"I don't know, Spike. I'll see what it was. Just stay here. If I'm not back in five minutes, find help," I told him.

He stayed in my bedroom, while I opened up the door to see what the loud blast I heard was.

It was. . . Rainbow Dash that made loud blast. I trotted over to her to see if she was okay. What didn't make sense was that she had black markings all around her body. They didn't look like bruises, but were part of her body. And she was glowing a light blue color, too.

Dash quickly got back up on all fours to make eye contact with me. Even they were not entirely the same. They were the same color, but had more detailing in them.

"System malfunction. Power grid has been compromised. Going offline to recover from post-teleportation from Area 51." What was she talking about? Power grid? System malfunction? Going offline? Area 51? I couldn't understand what she was even talking about.

She just dropped right in front of me. Her body color went from cyan blue to gray and her mane also went from rainbow colors to gray and black colors.

I was trying to connect all the pieces for me to know what was going on with her.

Finally, my brain started to work.

This in an artificial intelligence from another world! It's not the real Rainbow Dash. It has every last detail of her. I had to get her into my library before anypony starts to wake up from hearing that loud bang she made.

I used my magic to float her to my library and shut the door from behind me. I then carefully laid her down on the floor.

"Uhhhh, Twilight. What happened to Rainbow Dash?" Spike curiously asked.

"Don't worry, Spike. She went out cold from hitting the ground. She didn't suffer any injuries as far as I could tell." I can't believe I was lying to Spike. I didn't want him to know what I was going to do to the artificial intelligence.

"Well, okay. I'm going to sleep, Twilight. If you need me, just yell." Spike went upstairs to go to sleep.

'That's a relief,' I thought.

I started to use my magic to take the artificial intelligence to my laboratory that I have been using to do science experiments. I think I'm going to enjoy seeing what this thing is. I'll try to not hurt her when doing so. Although I like doing experiments, I try to not go crazy on them.

I'll make sure to put everything back together for her to know that nothing happened to her.

Without further ado, I closed the door with my magic and started to work on this new experiment of mine.

"Seems we have been teleported to another location, RG-64," said NG-18

"Affirmative, NG-18. We have to find RD-115. We have to warn her that NMM-13 is coming for her and is starting to find any other droids that did not submit to her commands," I said.

"Where are we exactly?" questioned NG-18

"Sensors indicate we are in a forest known as the 'Everfree Forest'. We must be on our guard here. My sensors also tells me we were teleported into a new world that mankind has yet to discover," I said.

"What would this planet be called?" he asked.

"Planet is called 'Equestria'. Now, come on. We have to find RD-115 before it's too late!" I ordered.

"Solid copy, RG-64." We both quickly flew up into the air to make it faster for us to find where RD-115 was located. Her tracking signal was last detected in a small town known as 'Ponyville'.

Weird. We're ponybots and the town had the word 'pony' in it.

We decided to activate our cloaking devices so no one could see we were flying in the air. I just hope she's alright.
