Justice League of Equestria: Gods and Monsters

“Ugh… what the…?” Brainiac groaned as she woke up. Looking around she saw that she was in some sort of containment cell with her arms and legs restrained.

Already this scenario was bringing back very haunting memories…

She attempted to scan for a way out, but sadly their enemies had taken extra precautions and fastened a specialized helmet onto her head in order to hinder her systems. Looking over to her left she saw that Giganta had been fitted with the same device.

"Hey! Golden Oldie, wake up!" She shouted

"Yes, could you shout a little louderplease?" She groaned sarcastically as she woke up. “It's not like I've got a splitting headache from all the shock therapy...”

"Good to know you're as sassy as ever..." She groaned as she looked around her cell. "...where the heck is Harley?"

"Maybe she got moved to a different cell so we couldn't try to communicate with her." Giganta stated. “...assuming she got captured like us.”

"....so on a whole.... this whole team building shit was basically pointless... yay." Brainiac sighed, looking down in disappointment. "Great, the first mission I'm in charge of the whole team gets caught! Fucking brilliant! Supes is gonna be so pissed..."

"What are you talking about? We never expected them to have super powered back up to assist them." Rarity said as she tested her bonds, before turning to Brainiac. "Hey I have a plan-"

"It's probably better then mine."

"Oh will you grow up!" The robot snapped. "Your first brilliant plan didn't work so what? That's why you improvise! To adapt and overcome!"

"I should've been able to do that on the fly!!" She snapped, trying to break free. "I should've been able to take them out easily! I was built to kill SUPERMARE FOR FUCKS SAKE!"

"Darling that's not exactly a good title to hold. Seriously, that sounds like you almost want to be a supervillain." Giganta replied. "Why do you even feel the need to impress her so much anyway?"

"I... I was taken away from my family... my sister hadn't even been born yet..." She explained. "I was put through test after test, I was told repeatably that killing her was my only purpose... to the point where it became my only identity, the only way to truly measure my strength… it was either that, or become obsolete."

"....oh." Giganta said with an embarrassed look on her face. "I-I didn't know-"

"Now I see it was just to make me go through the tests.... to survive.... if I got overpowered by these bastards I don't deserve that stupid title anymore." Rainbow said as she just... slumped down. "I'm so pathetic."

"You're not pathetic." Giganta interjected. "Headstrong ye, but unless you haven't noticed, we all got captured. I was created specifically to decimate planets... and now here I am..." She mused.

Before Brainiac could reply, a loud smack echoed throughout the hall as a young stallion with a green mane and purple coat was thrown to the floor in front of their cells. Standing over him was the albino stallion from before, with a less-than-happy look on his face.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE ESCAPED?! SHE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE ANY POWERS! HOW USELESS ARE YOU?!”

"I-I-"

"AND WOULD YOU FUCKING QUIT STAMMERING?! IT'S GETTING FUCKING ANNOYING!" The stallion shouted as he punched the green stallion again and once more sent him flying.

The two androids winced as he slammed against the steel wall before hitting the floor. He was covered with several bruises, had a black eye, and was bleeding from his nose.

“Pl-Please…” He stammered out. “It w-w-wasn't my f-f-fault…”

"Oh you're right. It was the other green coated moron who was supposed to be watching over her! She outsmarted you and beat you when you were a damn DRAGON! I am starting to question why I even let you on this team!"

[Mento!] A male voice called out. The stallion paused for a moment and pressed his fingers against his ear, activating the earpiece.

“What is it?!”

[We need you at the lab, now!]

“Can this wait? I'm busy…” He replied, glaring down at the young stallion, who simply cowered in fear.

[No, this can't wait. The Boss is on her way here as we speak!]

“Fine, I'll be right there…" He said before turning the earpiece off and turning to the young stallion. “Make yourself useful and guard these two, try to at least do that right.” He snapped before leaving the room.

The young stallion tries to stand up and glare at them. "This is.... this is that stupid clown's fault. She just had to escape on my watch." He growled. "I'm one of the damned Doom Patrol, I'm better than that."

“To be fair, Harley’s not the most predictable opponent…” Giganta stated, getting his attention. "Not to mention that that doesn't excuse such an abusive response.”

“Yeah…" Brainiac added, having calmed herself despite her situation. “Why are you taking crap from that guy?!”

"He's my dad… well, my adopted dad anyway… not that two cold robots would understand." The young stallion replied with a cold sneer.

"....okay, first off? WOW, way to be not racist." Brainiac said as she returned his glare. "Secondly? That don't mean SHIT! If he was your dad he'd treat you with respect and love. Instead? You're being punched and beaten for one screw up."

“...it's not the first time I've messed up…” He sighed as he sat down, his back against the wall. “And I don't have much of a choice, he… they saved me from near-death, they're the only ones who can fix-” He blinked and immediately stood up. “Forget it, why am I even wasting my breath on you two?!” He snapped, turning away from the two cells before him.

"Oh, come on dear." Giganta said in a seductive tone. "No need to be so defensive."

"Around a simple bucket of bolts, yes I do. You don't feel anything... you don't understand what I'm feeling right now you arrogant bitch!" He snapped, glaring at her over his shoulder.

"OK, rude." Giganta scowled. "I'll have you know we're more than 'two cold buckets of bolts'!

"Yeah, granted she was built, but we've still got emotions just like you!" Brainiac added. "Why else would we show concern even if we had no reason too?!"

"Hm let's see." The stallion said sarcastically before pointing at Giganta. "You were supposed to be the Ultimate Android. Meaning you can use emotions to get what you want." He then looked at Braniac. "And didn't you say you were built to KILL Supermare? So this whole pity thing you're doing? Part of a sub-routine to make me vulnerable so you can escape."

Brainiac glared at the stallion, seriously wanting to knock some sense into him. However Giganta simply sighed. "He does have a point, not to mention he is technically the enemy at the moment..." She stated before giving him a small smile. "That being said, since you're clearly on to us, that technically means that you could vent out your frustrations all you want without worrying about us manipulating you..."

"....EW! I don't hump robots! What do you think I am, some kind of dog?!" He shouted. "No, just.... just stop talking please."

"Yeah Giganta that was uh.... you could've worded that a little better..." Brainiac added.

Giganta's eye twitched at the misunderstanding. "I MEANT TALKING YOU PERVERSE IDIOTS!! SHARING WHAT'S ON YOUR MINDS!! DEAR FAUST WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO?!" She snapped in rage.

"Hey don't snap at me, you were the one who went into seduction mode." Brainiac said with a coy smirk. "Hell I was about to get a wing-boner from the way you were talking."

'When I get out of here I'm going to kill you Dash!' She thought as she glared at the mare in question. "Ugh... let's try this again, you clearly have some attachment to you team despite your leader's abusive nature... we're imprisoned, you have no reason to let us go, and we're good listeners." She stated before glancing up above Brainiac for a second before continuing. "Just talk to us, if only to make your guard duties less boring relieve some stress... NOT in the way you're thinking." She quickly added.

"....w-well..... you already saw how the big guy treats me but.... o-other than Robotmare and Negative Stallion nobody else really likes me or tolerates me. It's.... t-they think I'm so stupid and useless b-but I can help!"

“Well obviously, I mean, they wouldn't just let anyone join the Doom Patrol…” Giganta replied casually.

“So… what is your power?” Brainiac added. “I mean, we fought everyone on the team except you, come to think of it, where were you during the fight?"

"Trying to catch that stupid clown." He said. "My name's.... no it's a stupid name but the point is my power is shapeshifting. ANY type of animal."

"...anything you say?" Brainiac asked, growing intrigued. "For example, you could become a cheetah? Or a raptor? Or maybe a falcon? Or a tortoise?!"

Giganta blinked and turned to Brainiac. "Why a tortoise?"

"Tortoises are cool."

"Better, watch this." He said as he then morphed into a legendary beast that was long since thought dead, it's spikes, feet and claws were almost razor-sharp it's wings were massive. There was no mistaking this form, the stallion had just turned into a dragon.

“I-Is that a…?” Giganta stammered in shock.

“THAT IS SO COOL!” Brainiac shouted with stars in her eyes. “How'd you learn to do that?!”

He shape shifted back but.... looked rather sad at Rainbow's question. "I’d rather not talk about that... just.... ask me anything else..."

Giganta arched a brow at this, but simply gave him a reassuring smile. “Very well darling, what is your name?”

"Spike." He said but then grunted and slapped himself. "Forget you heard that! My name's Beast Boy!" He shouted at her.... unfortunately Brainiac sorta giggled at that precise moment.

“Brainiac! Don't be so insensitive!” Giganta said in a scolding tone. “Besides, Spike is a cute name… as is Beast Boy.” She added with a smile, only for Beast Boy to look down in irritation.

“If only everyone else called me that…but instead they stick to my code name; Changeling…” He mumbled before punching the wall. “I HATE THAT NAME!!”

"Hey take it from me, at least your name isn't one based from an insult." Brainiac stated bitterly.

"Oh please, how could you possibly-" Anything else he was about to say was cut off as the doors to the room opened and an orange Unicorn stallion made his way inside. "Ch-Chief Sunburst! I-It's good to see you sir!"

"Yes of course. Could you give me a moment with the... specimens?" He said as he walked up to meet Giganta and Braniac. "Fascinating."

“That's it? That's all you have to say?” Brainiac asked. “Just so you know, I'm a pretty big deal…”

“Maybe I shouldn't leave…” Beast Boy stated nervously. “I mean, they could be dangerous…”

"Then that means you stay." Sunburst growled. "If they're dangerous then you stay here and help guard me you green tinted imbecile."

"R-right! That's what I meant!"

Giganta sighed as she mouthed the words 'You deserve better.' when the scientist wasn't looking.

"So, what exactly do you want? You come to start the disassembly early?" Brainiac asked in a bored tone.

"Oh no, no, no. You see.... someone from her past-" He pointed at Giganta. "-is coming over to visit and she asked to make sure you both are in good condition."

"Goody-goody-gumdrops." Giganta sarcastically replied. "I've been waiting to meet the one who dug me up and put that damn collar on me and "thank" her properly..."

"Oh see.... she's going to arrive and... oh no I won't ruin the surprise." He said with a smile. "That's going to be all up to her."

"Indeed it is Sunny."

Beast Boy jumped as a new figure made itself known behind him. Turning around he quickly backed away upon seeing the new arrival. 'I didn't even hear her come in!' He thought as the figure casually walked past him and towards the cells.

Giganta scowled as soon as she saw her, she wore a cobra helmet with mouth open wide with a visor obscuring her face, a dark green suit with like green shoulder pads, and a flowing green cape.

The Queen Kobra.

In another part of the base, Harley carefully snuck through the air-vents as she searched for the main control room. It hadn't been easy escaping from that Dragon kid, but a good joy-buzzer to the back gave her the head start she needed. After he had lost her scent it was only a matter of following him back to the base.

"Okay. Security room. Security room.... where are you?" She asked herself as she traveled through the vents.

As she continued onward, she looked through one of the grates and noticed Mento in some sort of laboratory. In front of him where two scientists who seemed to be observing some sort of necklace in a glass tube with wires coming out of it.

"So this is the thing that turned the little snot into a shapeshifter?" He asked as he pushed past one of the scientists.

"Yes..." The female scientist replied. "Our forces were able to recover it from the ruins of the Thunderhooves Tribe village. Apparently they had used some sort of dark magic along with the DNA of a changeling to enchant the necklace... quite a fascinating accomplishment for a species with no magic..."

"I don't care where it came from!" Mento snapped. "I want to know why it's just sitting here in a tube and not being used to make us an army of soldiers more capable than that green shit-stain!"

"Well siphoning the magic from the object is hard enough, most of the test subjects we went through either died or ended up trapped in one form..."The male scientist stated. "Really it was a stroke of luck that subject 027 managed to survive the procedure..."

"Son of a.... okay why not try it on something else then?" Mento asked. "Like say... force someone to wear it? Won't that give the same effects it gave that welp?"

"That was one of the first things we tried…" The female scientist answered as she made her way towards least three other tubes near the back of the room, and upon turning on the lights, everyone winced at what they saw. "As you can see, that plan went downhill fast."

All three of them contained several piles of withering flesh that could barely be described as anything remotely equine looking. Some of them had wings or tentacles sticking out of areas they shouldn't be, while others seemed to be missing entire body parts!

'OK… that's twisted even by MY standards...' Harley's "other self" proclaimed while Harley herself tried not to puke at the site.

"....then try again." Mento said with irritation in his voice.

"W-what-"

"Try. Again. I'm not about to let that green shrimp and weakling be the only shapeshifter we have." He growled. "I don't even remember why I saved his sorry ass."

"B-Because our Queen saw potential in him…?"

Harley scowled as pulled out a laughing gas bomb, this arrogant jerk was getting on her nerves!

"Well then maybe she was wrong for once." Mento growled... and then a small orb dropped down from the vents and exploded, covering the room in green gas. Mento used his Telekinesis to create an aura himself but the scientists were all not as lucky as they started coughing and then laughing their asses off.

"Aw, laughing already? I haven't even told the joke yet!" Harley giggled as she dropped down from the vent, quickly pulling out four razor-sharp playing cards and throwing them at Mento.

The shield he put up however blocked the card and caused them to fall flat to the ground. Harley's eyes widened and she then bolted towards the door.

“Oh no you don't!” Mento shouted as he blasted her with a psychic wave, sending her flying into a wall.

‘You could've thought this out better…’ Her “other self” mused as she sat near the necklace. Harley quickly got up and pulled out a small detonator. Before Mento could react the cards at his feet immediately exploded, knocking him out.

"See? I had everything under control." Harley said as she stepped over the unconscious Mento and smashed open the tube holding the necklace.

“This could prove useful…" She smirked is she stuffed it in her pocket before making her way to the security room.

Not wasting any time she immediately barged in and pulled a toy pistol, firing into the air once and getting everyone's attention. “Hey boys, how's your health plan?”

Everyone in the room was silent for a second before one of the scientists attempted to hit the security button, only to get impaled through the head by a flag with the word “BANG” written on it.

“APPARENTLY IT’S GREAT!!” Harley smirked as shot several Kobra soldiers and scientists before chucking the pistol and pulling out the Trickster's acid gun and firing giant wads of acid everywhere.

"So you're the bitch who tried to use my friend huh?" Brainiac said. "Well excuse the lack of manners but I don't bow to monsters like you."

“Oh, I'll get to you in a moment…” She stated before turning her attention to Giganta. “I have to say, I'm impressed with the level of effort that was put into giving you life-like skin… even if it's wasted on a weapon such as yourself…”

"I try my hardest to disappoint you dear." Giganta said before spitting at her.

The two stallions winced as the spit hit the Queen's visor, however she simply wiped it off and glanced at Brainiac. "And then there's you... the one who nearly obliterated Maretropolis..."

"You do that ONE TIME and everyone just throws it in your face without understanding what happened." Brainiac mumbled. "Yes I did that and since you know I can do that then how's about letting me and Giganta go, okay? Okay."

“Oh I'd love too, but we have so much to do! Reprogramming you, disassembling you, replicating any weapons you may have gained overtime and distributing them amongst our forces…” She listed off, with Sunburst looking a little too eager when she mentioned disassembling them, while Beast Boy looked slightly disturbed. “Trust me…” She continued, grinning behind her visor. “...we have big plans for you two…”

However before she could continue, red light started flashing at the alarm went off. "....Sunburst? What does that alarm sound mean?" Queen Kobra asked coldly.

Sunburst looked nervous as he tried to find out. "T-the best I can figure out is-"

[HELLO EVERYPONY!] Harley’s voice echoed throughout the base. [This is your friendly Jester of Genocide; Harley, and her co-host; Pussy-Boy! Hey Pussy-Boy, wanna to hear a joke!?]

[PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!] A frightened voice screamed.

[Well then, stop me if you've heard this one; What’s brown and very bad for your dental health?]

[I DON'T KN-]

*WACK*

[A baseball bat!] She giggled madly. [Hope you will enjoy that! ‘Cause I'm going to be bringing even more jokes today! See you around the base and remember; If you see me smiling, I'm probably thinking of doing something twisted. If I’m laughing, I've already done it!]

And with those words, the speakers cut off, leaving everyone in dead silence… before Brainiac started laughing. "HAHAHAHA! THAT'S HARLEY FOR YA! YOU CAN NEVER PLAN FOR THAT WHACKY MARE!"

"W-W-Wait, th-th-that crazy clown bitch is here?!" Beast Boy stammered in fear with a look of dread. "Oh look at the time, I gotta go buy a watch, BYE!" He quickly said before attempting to run out of the room, only to be grabbed by the throat and thrown against the wall by the Kobra Queen herself.

"YOU ARE NOT ESCAPING!" She growled at him as she slammed him to the wall. "You are to PROTECT me from any and all harm! I am your Queen!" She shouted at him.

“Y-Yes ma'am…” Beast Boy choked out as she left the room… just before all the lights went off.

"What the?!" Sunburst shouted before immediately pulling out a communicator. "Sunburst to Mento, assemble the Doom Patrol and capture the intruder immediately!"

However all he got at the moment was nothing but static. "MENTO YOU IMBECILE ANSWER ME!" He shouted before hearing a chuckle.... he turned and saw Giganta looking right at him with red glowing eyes.

"You know you're going to die don't you? And your precious Queen? She's going to bail on you to save her own scaly ass."

Sunburst shivered at the sight, but quickly regained his composure. "Oh please, whoever she is she's outnumbered, outmatched, and outgunned, my Doom Patrol will make short work of her!" He stated confidently as he turned to leave. "Besides, your high-tech minds should be able to calculate the odds of her surviving, I can easily tell you that those odds will be in our favor..."

"B-B-But Chief…" Beast Boy called out. "Wouldn't it be a better idea to evacuate just in case? I mean if she managed to get this deep into our base-"

"I don't recall asking for your opinion, Changeling!" Sunburst snapped. "I will not have my forces run at the sight of one simple powerless mare! Now get your useless ass out there and lay your life on the line for our Queen.... or would you rather I stop working on the cure for your little 'condition' !?"

"....you know.... I've just about had it with everyone thinking I'm useless." Beast Boy growled as he summoned a tentacle and wrapped it around Sunburt's neck. "AND FOR THE DAMN RECORD, MY NAME IS BEAST BOY!"

"L-L-Let me go you bast-GAAKK!!” Sunburst shouted in rage before Beast Boy squeezed tighter. "You... need me... I'm the... only one... who can... f-f-fix you..."

Beast Boy growled in anger as he slammed him into a wall. "You better watch your mouth from now on. I'm done being pushed around, by you, by Mento, by EVERYPONY!" He snapped as he stormed out of the room, not noticing the smile Giganta was giving him.

"Well, well, well..." Brainiac snickered. "Looks like we know who the REAL useless one is!"

"Indeed..." Giganta added, take great pleasure in seeing the scientist sweating bullets after what just happened.

"No it..... I'm still in control." Sunburst said mostly to himself. "I'm still in control. I'm in complete control."

"What do you mean by that?" Brainiac asked as a bit of static emitted from her ear.

Sunburst simply smirked. "That naïve fool seriously thinks I can cure him... it's the only thing that's kept him loyal... but now..." He trailed off as he listened to a voice on the communicator. "Elasti-Mare, make sure our little Changeling has a little "accident" during your fight with the intruder... and make sure there's enough of him left for the dissection process…"

]"Oh with pleasure." The voice replied back with a dark chuckle. "The little turd's had it coming for a long time." It said before cutting out... and Giganta chose right then to let her anger be known.

"You... BASTARD!! YOU'VE BEEN STRINGING HIM ALONG THIS WHOLE TIME, GIVING HIM FALSE HOPE AND ABUSING HIM... AND THEN WHEN HE GETS FED UP WITH YOUR SHIT YOU SIMPLY DECIDE TO KILL HIM?! YOU'RE WORSE THAN SCUM!!"

If Giganta had lungs,this would've been the point where she stopped to take a breath, but instead she settled for a glaring at scientist with glowing red eyes.

"Oh please like you didn't already know. The problem is that it's down to his genetic coding. It's too far along for me to do anything.... as if I'd want to fix that brat... oh well. That's what dissection is for." He said quietly.

"Lovely. Truly lovely.... BTW? Hacked your systems while you weren't looking... who's this ‘Ra's’ dude you're so scared of?" Brainiac asked Sunburst with a bored tone.

“YOU DID WHAT?!” Sunburst shouted in rage… but then he gave her a look, a single look that said everything, yet nothing… before turning away calmly and pushing up his glasses. “It doesn’t matter, the intruder will be captured, the two of you will be reprogrammed, and that little bastard will be dissected, and Kobra will reign supreme...” He stated calmly before leaving the room.

“Finally, I thought he’d never leave...” Giganta smirked after they were sure he was gone, she ripped her arms free and quickly did the same with her legs.

Harley casually stepped over the corpse of a smiling Kobra soldier and enter the elevator. "Now let's see… if I was a secret project, where would I be...?" She mused to herself as she looked up and down at the buttons...

“Eeny, meeny, miny… ALL OF THEM!” Pinkie giggled as she just decided to press every weapon button in sight just to be sure... and made sure to click at least a few with her flank.

[EMERGENCY ALERT, MAIN POWER OFFLINE] A loud voice boomed from the speakers. Immediately after that the elevator simply stopped in place, much to Harley's annoyance.

"Well that's just great… well, Time to improvise!" She said before pulling out her acid gun and firing it at the floor, she dropped through the hole as it dissolved away before pulling out a scepter that had a clown's head on the end and fired it upwards, the clown head pierced through the elevator ceiling before four metal claws burst out of the top and lodged themselves firmly within the steel, leaving Harley hanging from a rope.

Pressing a button on the scepter, she slowly lowered herself down the elevator shaft, holding onto the scepter with her left hand while firing her acid gun at each door she passed with her right.

"Nope. Nope. Nope. Ooooh, shiny! Nope. Nope. Oh, here we are!" Pinkie exclaimed with a happy face as she stopped in front of a door. "Time for me to make an entrance!"

Inside the lab, Nega-Stallion was pacing back-and-forth while several scientists continuously rushed around him, either we connecting wires to the two before them or typing in commands and checking the monitors to make sure everything was stable, despite the current situation.

"How long till this thing's online?!" Nega-Stallion asked in irritation.

"Just a few more minutes sir! Please be patient!" One of the scientists pleaded. Nega just sighed in exasperation.

Suddenly, the doors were blown up Pinkie walked in with her grenade launcher.

Nega-Stallion growled and exited his bandaged form as he circled her. "I am REALLY not in the mood for this you whack job! So how about you stay where you are and just let me capture you!"

"Darn, and me without my poltergeist 3000... and there’s like what? One of me and a dozen of you?" She smirked as the soldiers surrounded her. "Well that’s ALMOST a fair fight."

"FOUND YOU!" Another voice bellowed, Harley turned to see none other than Beast Boy drop down behind her, now in the form of a hulking gorilla.

"...OK, now it's fair." Harley giggled, pulling out several playing cards...

"Alright so what now?" Brainiac asked Giganta after they busted free from their cages. "I kinda want to bring this place down on their heads and slaughter their soldiers by the dozens.... I'm not in a good mood."

"Cool your jets, miss trigger-happy. We still need to find their little 'project' and make sure they don't activate it..." Giganta stated before turning on her scanners. "Now let's see… hmm... aha! Their little toy is a few floors below us!"

The two immediately rushed down the hall towards the elevator shaft… only do get blasted by another psychic wave.

"You two aren't going anywhere!" Mento shouted as he approached them from one end of the hall while Robotmare appeared at the other end.

"....okay. You know what? How about you and I have a showdown. Your brain vs my brain. What do ya say mental nut job?" Brainiac asked Mento, who glared at her.

“You honestly think you have a chance against me?!" He scoffed in amusement. “You'd be nothing but a malfunctioning pile of junk by the time I'm done with you!”

"I was born to-"

"Kill the Mare of Steel and look at how smart she is! She only punches her problems!" Mento shouted. "You're fighting a REAL genius now!"

"Well then…" Brainiac began as her for head nodes started glowing. "Let's put your little theory to the test!" She shouted as she let loose a powerful shockwave to counter Mento's

Meanwhile, Robotmare had tackled Giganta through a wall and was currently flying throughout the base while slamming her through various rooms.

"Aw. That's adorable." Giganta said as she grabbed Robotmare and threw her into a wall. "You're just a second rate me, you know that right?"

“Shut up!!” Robotmare screamed as she got up, the orbon her chest glowing as it's charged. “We beat you once, and we can do it again!” With those words she fired a powerful beam of energy right at her face.

However this time Giganta just tanked the blast and barely felt anything at all. "You only defeated us because you caught us off guar. I may be a little rusty from being sealed away for so long, but once I scanned you I was able to modify a several parts of my structure, I was built to infiltrate and adapt, compared to me you're nothing but a step backwards."

Robotmare's eyes widened in disbelief as she started repeatedly firing upon her, two miniature missile launchers popped out of her shoulders and her feathers sharpened and immediately started firing smaller lasers. "LIAR! I WON'T LOSE TO THE LIKES OF YOU!!"

"Darling I'm designed for war against entire planets. One or two of my kind are sent here and that's all that's needed. Your little weapons?" She said before turning her arm into a laser cannon while opponent still tried to cause some form of damage. "Are mere children's toys."

Downstairs, Harley smiled at her handy work. Several Kobra soldiers and scientists were either dead or dying of laughter, while others were writhing in agony as acid ate away at their skin.

The only thing that would've made the situation better… was if she wasn't being pinned to the ground by an angry gorilla, with the mummified stallion standing over her.

“So, any last words before I end your life?” Nega-stallion asked in a livid tone.

Harley simply gave him the most innocent puppy- dog eyes she could muster up (complete with tears). “Wow, gee willikers mister. I sure am sorry for slaughtering all your guards and tearing up your base. I promise I've learned my less-GAAH!” Sadly her little pity party was interrupted by him slamming his foot onto her hand. “-fuck! Take a joke, asshole!”

"Not after what you just did!" Nega-Stallion shouted. "I was close! I was so damned close to being cured and you fucked it up! You screwed me over and now I'm stuck like this!"

"...well, and I'm just spitballing here, maybe you shouldn't have worked with a terrorist organization... I mean, you're basically painting a target on your back-OW!" Harley screamed as Beast Boy turned into a rhino.

"How about you shut up. You have NO idea what you just costed Negs!" Beast Boy snorted at her.

"Exactly. I turned into this long before I joined Kobra. I joined because I had no other choice." Nega-Stallion sneered as he got close to her. "And thanks to you? All that work... down the drain."

*CRASH*

Everyone turned around to see two figures crash down through the ceiling, the smoke soon cleared revealing both Mento and Robotmare on top of eachother. Robotmare was missing her right wing and her left arm had been torn off, while part of Mento’s helmet had been torn apart and he was covered with cuts, bruises, burn marks.

“Well THAT was easy enough…” Brainiac chuckled as she flew down through the hole with Giganta dropping down behind her.

"Told you dear." Giganta smirked as she stepped over Robotmare. "You did try your best but it wasn't enough, sadly."

Nega-Stallion scowled as he turned to the two androids. “You just don't know when to quit, do you?!” He snapped as he exited his body. Beast Boy quickly transformed into a T-Rex with Harley held firmly in his tail.

"Okay Giganta. End this quick. Please?" Brainiac said as she cracked her neck. "I seriously am starting to get bored with punching things." She said as she looked around. "Wonder what I can download from here?"

"Why?"

Brainiac looked over her shoulder at Beast Boy. "What?"

"Why are you doing this?! Don't you realize you're destroying our only chance at being cured?!" Beast Boy roared in anger.

"Uh... yeah about that?" Braniac said as she punched in a few commands on her arm. "You might wanna listen to this." She said as she brought up an audio file.

[That naïve fool seriously thinks I can cure him... it's the only thing that's kept him loyal... but now...] Sunburst's voice trailed off for a moment. [Elasti-Mare, make sure out little Changeling has a little "accident" during your fight with the intruder... and make sure there's enough of him left for the dissection process…]

[Oh with pleasure.] Elasti-Mare's voice replied with a dark chuckle. [The little turd's had it coming for a long time.]

Brainiac then fast-forwarded the audio to a later part of the conversation. [Oh please like you didn't already know. The problem is that it's down to his Genetic Coding. It's too far along for me to do anything.... as if I'd want to fix that brat... oh well. That's what dissection is for.]

The recording ended, and Brainiac gave them both a stern look. "So tell me, do you still think he has any concern for your wellbeing?"

"He.... he promised..." Beast Boy said. Too stunned for words.

"Change don't let that get to you! She's a damn android! she probably fixed it to make it sound that way!" Nega said, but Brainiac could tell even he was having some doubts.

“If you want I could hack the security cameras and show you the footage from there as well…”

“You'll do no such thing!” Another voice called out. Immediately Elasti-Mare grew up from below Brainiac and gave her a fierce uppercut.

As she hit a wall she couldn't help but smirk. "Scared that I'll be proven right?" She asked. "I mean that also proves you knew what happened to them... and you probably caused your own condition and don't WANT it cured."

"SHUT UP!" She screamed as she grew bigger and slammed her fist into Brainiac, repeatably punching her into the wall.

Then Giganta grabbed her fist causing her to turn to see the equally huge robot. "Hi darling. Remember me?" She asked before slicing her arm off and then blasted her eyes.

"AAARGH" Elasti-Mare wailed in pain as she shrunk down yet again. Taking advantage of this Giganta kicked her across the room with enough force to send her flying through the wall.

Groaning as she got up, Elasti-Mare then called to Nega-Stallion and Beast Boy. "What are you two idiots standing there for?! Attack and kill these bitches!"

"...is it true?" Nega-Stallion asked, his fists trembling.

"What?!"

"Is. it. true?" He repeated himself. "Did you know that we couldn't be cured?!"

"Are you two dense?!" She screamed as she pulled herself out of the hole, her arm and eyes quickly healing. "These two are ruining everything we worked for and you're just going to believe them?!"

"Excuse me?" Harley pipped up, having been surprisingly quiet during the whole scenario. "If I could bring something up real quick? Brainiac, could you check the cameras in room B55? I overheard something in there that might clear this up..."

"Sure thing." Brainiac said as she brought up a holo screen and brought up a video from room B55. "What time frame Harley do you want me to skip to?"

"About two hours ago I think..."

"Don't you d-" The was as far as Elasti-Mare got before Giganta slammed her foot on top of her. Brainiac immediately punched in some commands on her left arm as her right arm extended her fingers like wires and plugged into one of the computers. Soon the nodes on her forehead glowed before projecting an image onto the wall, revealing Mento and two scientists in some sort of laboratory. In front of them was some sort of necklace in a glass tube with wires coming out of it.

[So this is the thing that turned the little snot into a shapeshifter?] Mento asked as he pushed past one of the scientists.

[Yes...]The female scientist replied. [Our forces were able to recover it from the ruins of the Thunderhooves Tribe village. Apparently they had used some sort of dark magic along with the DNA of a changeling to enchant the necklace... quite a fascinating accomplishment for a species with no magic...]

[I don't care where it came from!] Mento snapped. [I want to know why it's just sitting here in a tube and not being used to make us an army of soldiers more capable than that green shit-stain!]

[Well siphoning the magic from the object is hard enough, most of the test subjects we went through either died or ended up trapped in one form...] The male scientist stated. [Really it was a stroke of luck that subject 027 managed to survive the procedure...]"D-dad?" Beast Boy asked. "No..... I-I did everything you asked......" He said but the video showed only more heartache. It was just... it was undeniable proof... they'd all been lied to.... they had been betrayed.

"I'm so sorry..." Nega-Stallion said as Beast Boy morphed back into his normal form, unintentionally letting Harley go. "I... I thought they could fix us, I thought..."

"Hey. It's fine." Giganta said. "You were desperate for a cure. To feel normal.... but these ponies? They care about power and themselves. They only used you so they can get more power. I'm sorry you had to learn that the hard way."

Beast Boy fell to his knees. "What do I do now... this was... this was all I had..."

"For starters, you can DIE!" Mento's voice echoed through the room as a psychic blast hit Beast Boy and Nega-Stallion from the side.

"Oh come on you pathetic old geezer. Do we REALLY have to go through these rounds again?" Brainiac asked as she looked at Mento. "Remember last time I said I could leave you brain dead? Yeah this time I'm going to leave you brain dead!"

"NO!" Everypony turned to see Beast Boy slowly get up with an absolutely LIVID look on his face. "He's MINE!" The young colt shouted as he transformed into a bear and rushed towards him.

"W-WHAT?!" Mento shouted as Beast Boy tackled him.

"ALL THOSE TIMES OF DEALING WITH YOUR ABUSE!" He shouted with one swipe. "ALL THOSE TIMES OF DEALING WITH YOU YELLING AT ME FOR FUCKING UP WHEN IT WAS YOUR FAULT!"

Mento screamed as he fired another psychic blast, forcing Beast Boy off of him. "It was because of the bosses misguided belief that you'd be useful that we kept you around!" He snapped as he fired blast after blast. "And now it's time to correct that mistake!"

The young colt quickly morphed into a hummingbird darted around him before turning into huge snake, tightening his coils around him.

"MENTO!" Elastigirl shouted as she shrunk and slid out from under Giganta’s foot… but before she could move Nega-Stallion hit her with an electric pulse, paralyzing her.

"You are going to pay for lying to us..." He growled at her as he surrounded himself in a field of radioactive energy before wrapping his “Negative Form” around her, Elasti-Mare barely had time to scream as she was fried into oblivion.

"Jeez.” Harley whistled. “You really hated her huh?"

"She was a bitch anyway."

Robotmare just looked around as she tried to slink off. Giganta saw this.... and shrunk down to help her. "Dear, you aren't going to suffer for following this cult of monsters." She said as she walked over.

Robotmare blinked as she slowly took her hand. "Y-Y-You'll he-he-help us...?" She asked, hope evident in her voice. "After all we've d-d-done?"

"The only monsters here are that mental whackjob and that stretching bitch." Giganta said as she helped her up. "Now I need to know. What is this project they're working on?" She asked her

"I-I-I witnessed them assembling a new robot... they said it would be more e-e-equine." She explained, pointing to the tube on the other end of the room. "They said that they would transfer my conscience into it, that it would help me f-f-feel again..."

"Why don't we go to it then dear. I think your friends have things covered here." She said as she picked Robotmare up and walked her up to the tube.

As they approached the tube however, Harley's "other self" quickly darted behind some rubble.

'Shit's gonna go down!'

[So you want my little project that badly, do you?!] Sunburst's voice echoed from the speakers. [Well then, let's see you survive it's wrath! Activation code: FIW!]

Immediately two glowing red eyes opened as something ripped it's way out of the tube. The figure was about a head shorter than Rarity, it's face was light metallic-blue while it's body was dark red with bluish-purple gauntlets and boots, what appeared to be a light red "belt"with four equally colored lines going down it's chest and back from its neck line, which donned a very familiar collar.

Glaring at its enemies it immediately lunged at the nearest target; Brainiac.

[NO MAN ESCAPES THE MANHUNTERS!]
