The Conversion Bureau: Bio-Terrorism

Princess Celestia landed gracefully upon the crater that marked the end of this world's sins, a small platoon of pegasi ready with the Cleansing Vials. As she approached them, they moved to bow before the Solar Goddess, and she chuckled warmly at the sight.

"Rise, my little ponies," she spoke in her motherly tone.

At once, all pegasi rose and stood ready before her.

"Today, we mark another campaign to rid the universe of the curse of Human kind. Today, we welcome those who are in need of our blessings, by sharing our love and compassion through the streets of this city. As you all know, there will be violence, just like the previous Earths. But know now, that with your efforts, we will save billions from the cruel fate of being Human."

The platoon of Pegasi saluted the Princess before lifting off into the air, hundreds of wings pumping with a sense of righteousness as they prepared to cure another planet.

Delsin groaned as he tried to force himself awake. He felt the smoke of his Fast-Healing pulsate around his form as he struggled to find his footing, before his senses began to fully return. The first sense to return was hearing, and the first thing he heard, were screams. The Conduit forced his eyes to open and adjust to the harsh light of the mid-day Sun as he looked around to find the source of the screams. When he finally was able to see again, he found the answer: everywhere.

All around him, bombs of liquid and smoke began to pelt the streets with a war-like intensity. Innocent people were being bombarded by unknown bombs and disappearing into clouds of rainbow-colored mist.

"Delsin!" he heard a voice call out.

Delsin turned to see Fetch and Eugene waving him forth from one of the underground maintenance hatches as more bombs collided with the ground behind them.

"I've gotta find Reggie!" he shouted before looking around the immediate area.

His eyes settled on a ventilation shaft, the yellow light pulsating as a beacon against the smokey bombardment. With a thought and instinct, Delsin collapse his genetic structure into a cloud of orange and black smoke, and shifted his entire mass through the pipes faster than any normal current could. When he shot out on the top of the building, the smoke combining into his natural state, he collided with something.

Delsin gripped his nose after the collision sent him rolling onto the roof as the object he slammed into crashed beside him. He strained his eyes open to try and observe what he had hit, and widened his eyes when he settled on the culprit.

The Conduit stared right at the pegasus, which looked like something straight out of a fantasy movie or something equally stupid, with unrivaled confusion. Its fur was white with a blue tail, sported smooth, white wings, wore golden armor, and had an almost Human face, straying only with the absurdly large eyes. On its sides, however, were vials of swirling liquids. Out of curiosity, Delsin grabbed one, which proceeded to explode into a cloud around him.

The air began to freeze up around Delsin as he felt his lungs reject the poisonous substance, causing him to cough uncontrollably. As he did, he witnessed his chest glowing orange as smoke pulsated around his form, trying to whip at the cloud as it it were battling it. Delsin slowly got to his feet and waved away the invading cloud, swatting some of the substance off as he looked out over Seattle.

All across his view, Delsin watched in shock and horror as pegasi bombed out the streets of the locked-down city. Clouds of the rainbow-colored vials burst into the air across the limits of the city, striking every street and corner in Seattle. The Conduit felt his heart nearly implode as the realization of the attack began to hit home.

"Delsin, look out!" a familiar voice called out.

Delsin turned quickly to his right to find a pegasus charging at him with a vial in its mouth, somehow staying in tact. That changed, however, as a loud crack rang through the air, and the creature's head exploded on one side. Its body fell from the sky ungracefully, slamming into the side of the building before dropping into the alleyway. Delsin looked towards the source of the pegasus' death to find his brother holding his pistol.

"Reggie!" Delsin cheered before jumping off the edge of the building.

When he landed, however, another pegasus slammed into Reggie, tackling him to the ground face-down as his weapon clattered against the street. It slammed one of its legs down onto Reggie's back, causing him to scream in pain.

"Get off of him!" Delsin shouted as he charged the creature.

It was too late, however, as it brought out a vial in its mouth and slammed it onto Reggie's back. The pegasus had no time to react as a storm of smoke and metal wrapped around its body, throwing it into a nearby car head-first, crushing its skull into the inner workings of the vehicle. With the attacker dealt with, Delsin returned his attention to Reggie, only to find his empty clothes in the street.

"No," Delsin began as he came up to his brother's uniform, "no, no, no, no, No, NO!"

The Conduit slammed his fists into the pavement in denial before reaching over to the uniform.

"No, come on, Reg, don't do this to me!" he cried to the cloth.

When he came into contact with it, however, Delsin felt something move inside. He paused only for a second before grabbing the uniform and trying to remove the top portion, desperate to find something left of his brother. Just when Delsin had found purchase in his efforts, he froze. Where he expected his brother to be, was a light-red pegasus, smiling up at him.

"Delsin," it spoke in his brother's voice, "thanks for that. I needed to get out of those if I'm going to get to see Princess Celestia."
