Misplaced For Redemption
Cybe's Story pt. 4-New found respect
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCybe looked at the attacker and noticed something off, the man who was wielding the blade was covered in a purple mist. That's when he heard a voice.
Please, you have to help him, he's not in control!
"Who is this?"
Thats not important right now, you need to find a way to pin him down, a spirit has taken control of his body!
"Alright, Omega hold him down!"
"Roger that." Omega grabbed Shard and pinned him to the ground. Shard tried to squirm free but failed, he then threw Flame away and placed both hands on the ground and started pushing. He managed to throw Omega off him and charged at Cybe again, but Cybe had time to switch his arm and shot a net of paralysing electricity at him. At first he thought it was working but Shard just tore through the wire.
"A little help here Discord!"
Discord snapped his fingers and trapped Shard in a cage made of crystals. Shard was still for a moment before he began punching the roof of the cage, cracks started to form and sure enough he broke free. Shard made another attempt at charging Cybe but was caught be a blue aura, it appeared that Shard had finally been stopped, everyone present looked to the left to see a third human standing there with his arm held out, he was surrounded by the same blue aura.
"Now I don't know what is going on but it looked as if you guys could use my help." The man was slightly shorter than Cybe he had light blue hair that had three spikes on his forehead, his cloths consisted of different shades of blue, going in a striped pattern. Cybe dusted himself off.
"Your help is very much appreciated sir, might I ask your name?"
"My name is Cyan Crest, I take it you are Cybe Catcher?"
"So you're from my world too?"
"Yes, now that we've got the formalities out of the way, what do we do with twitchy here?"
Cybe looked to the now frozen Shard, his body twitched and the purple mist parted from his body and rose into the air, it then started glowing and morphed into a man with a dark purple tailcoat and top hat, with a purple cane in his hand, he had blonde hair and had glowing white eyes and a Cheshire smile, the top half of his face was covered in a shadow, he held a cane in his hand.
You were right Forge, they are fun!
Just then, a boy that looked no older than 15 appeared, every inch of his body was black and he was surrounded by a red aura.
Would I lie to you Hack?
I guess not, huhuhuhuhuhuhu
"Hey!" They looked down to see Cybe looking up at them. "Who are you?"
My word, he is impatient isn't he? If you must know, my name is Hack Wonder, owner of Wonders Fright Amusement Park, at your service
And I am Forge, I'm the one that brought you all here
"I see...let me ask you this, what do you hope to accomplish by bringing us here, what's your plan?"
My plan, I'm giving you all a chance to redeem yourselves, you, the last cyborg who slaughtered dozens of his own kind, the ninja of fire who spent his life learning the ways of the sword, and finally the psychokinetic, who betrayed his own family for the sake of his own well being. I brought you here so you could start over, you're misplaced, for redemption!
"And what of Omega?"
He is here for fun! I leave them to you Hack, my brother needs my help
Forge disappeared and everyone looked at Hack.
Well it's been fun kiddies, but I must return to my park, if you ever want to visit you can find me in the shadow realm, tata!
Hack vanished and Cybe just kept looking at the spot that Hack was standing at, he looked back and helped Omega get to his feet. "You alright there Omega?"
"I'm fine, although that was surprising." Cybe looked over Omegas body.
"You've still took a lot of damage from when you were brought here, when we get back to the house I'll do some repairs." Omega nodded and looked to Discord and Fluttershy. "Could you two take Omega to my home, I'll catch up in a minute." They nodded and left the three humans alone. "You can let him down Cyan." The aura surrounding Shard vanished and he dropped to the ground.
Shard shook his head and looked up to see Cybe with his claw stretched out to help him up, Shard accepted the assistance and placed his hand in the claw and Cybe pulled him up. Cybe looked over to Flame and picked him up and handed him to Shard.
"Déjà vu."
"What?" Cybe looked at Shard. "Wait, you look familiar."
"You saved me once in the battle of NYC, you threw that huge cyborg away then gave me a sword."
"That was you?"
"Yes, you saved my life that day, and I've never had a chance to thank you, so I am now." Shard held out his hand. "Thank you." Cybe to his hand in his claw and shook. "Name's Shard by the way."
"Shard!" The three humans turned to see Luna, Eclipse, Ratchet and Clank running towards them.
"Shard, are you alright what happened?" Asked Luna as she stood on her hind legs and moved his face around with her hooves.
"I'm fine Luna, whatever was in my body is gone now." While Luna, Eclipse and Ratchet fawned over Shard, Cybe and Clank began talking.
"Interesting, so you were created by a fault in a factory's systems?"
"Exactly, Although I recently found out it was not by accident, I was made this way to protect the keeper of time in our universe called the great clock, built in the exact centre of the universe...give or take fifty feet."
"You mentioned a compression system, how does that work exactly?"
"It's better if I give you that information via data transfer." Clank looked to his right. "But that will have to be at a later date, that gentleman wishes to talk with you." Cybe looked up to see Cyan looking at him, with a pony with a yellow coat and a red mane with streaks of yellow running through it.
"Okay, talk to you later XJ...oh, sorry, I'm mean Clank."
"No problem, hehehehehehehe."
Cybe let Clank return to Ratchet and he made his way over to Cyan. "Thank you for your help here, Cyan."
"It was no problem, I'm just glad I could stop him before anyone got hurt."
"True." He looked down at the mare beside Cyan. "Who's this?"
"This is Sunset Shimmer, she was taken from her world by the black star as well, she was originally a pony but found a way into the human world, then got sent back, although I think that was in an alternate Equestria."
Cybe bent down and stretched out his hand. "Pleasure to meet you Miss Shimmer." She placed her hoof in his hand and shook but stayed silent. Cybe took the hint and left her alone. "So, where do you end up?"
"In the tundra outside the Crystal Empire, I was able to get us out of there before we froze to death, with some help from Sunsets magic of course." He flashed a grin to Sunset and she blushed. "So you ended up in Ponyville?"
"The Everfree, after fighting some timberwolves I flew my sister and I to the outskirts of Ponyville and where taken in by Twilight Sparkle, I've got my own place now, as well as a job."
"Trying to build a normal life here, probably a smart move."
"As normal as I can, I've got robotic limbs, my friends are a spirit of chaos, a walking arsenal, the element bearers, a sun goddess and an ex-time traveler."
"That's quite a mouthful."
"I know." He looked at the sunset. "I gotta get back to my house or else Scootaloo and Jewel will get worried, and I gotta explain why a huge robot is moving in with us."
"Actually, I was wondering if we could crash with you for the night, we'll get our own place tomorrow."
"Fine, you guys can sleep on the couch, or Discord could build you a home next to mine or something." He looked over to Shard. He walked over and placed his claw on Shards shoulder. "We gotta go, take care of yourself Shard."
They began walking in the direction on Cybes home. "Wait!" Cybe turned around to see Eclipse looking at him. "If you are ever in Canterlot, please come by my lab, I'd like to ask you a few questions." Cybe nodded, he was about to turn away when Clank threw something at him.
"That is a data disk containing the schematics for the compression system."
"Thanks Clank." With that, they walked off.
Jewel was sitting on the couch in their house watching as Scootaloo buzzed around Omega. "Ok my gosh, you are so cool, do you have tons of weapons can you fly, what was your world like..." The questions never ended.
"Urge to maim, rising."
Fluttershy was giggling at the sight as Omega just sat there unamused and Discord was fitting a way for Omega to enter the house. Cybe had returned with Cyan and Sunset and had gone out to get some groceries, he explained the situation to Jewel and Scootaloo before leaving. Jewel was busy brushing Sunsets mane, being in the tundra didn't have a great effect on her hair.
When Cybe returned he made everyone sandwiches and took Omega outside to do some repairs.
"So Omega, what was your world like?"
"Very, very strange, everything was like an obstacle course, even the natural forests were laid out like a level in a video game."
"Sounds strange."
"And it was populated by anthropomorphic animals."
"..."
"Yeah."
Cybe just kept on repairing Omegas power cells in silence.
