Still in that Hospital

I was still staring at both of the Alicorns and the Draconequus in front of me. “Say that again.”

Solaris just glared at me. “No!”

I shrugged. “Well it was worth a try. But seriously you are telling me that you made the planet how it is now?”

Discord nodded while sitting lazily on my head…. And how did i know he nodded well I was looking at a Mirror which was behind Solaris and Nocturnal.
“Get off.” Was all I said.
Discord chuckled and snapped a finger on his lion paw, after a flash of light he was sticking out of one off my ears. I grumbled and choose to ignore him.

I turned my attention back to Solaris and Nocturnal. “Soooo~ what now? No better Question….. What happened before they attacked you?”

Solaris stepped forward. “Well I think I can answer that.”

I looked at him. “Go on.”

I didnt listen what he was saying until he mentioned the first Hellbug. “... I was just about to go for the Guard Barracks when one of those…. Hellbugs was it?”

“Yes.”

King Solaris nodded. “When one really small Hellbug with four legs came crawling out of the Ground---”

“That would be a Hellbug Skitterling…… And sorry for interrupting you your Majesty.”

He just smiled. “That is no problem at all….. As i was saying, this Hellbug Skitterling did nothing at first until i made a step forward. This creature spun around and spit some kind of liquid at me---”

I cut him off Immediately. “Go and burn what you were wearing then and was yourself until I say you can come out!” I almost shouted this.

He raised an Eyebrow. “And why is tha---”

I've cut him off again. “This Liquid were Hellbug Pheromones. The Hellbugs will attack anything that smells like that, including you!! Now there is no time to waste we go and you wash yourself until i say you are clean. Do you understand me your Majesty?” I was standing in front of Solaris my Voice showing authority.

“I never thought that somepony would talk to you like that ever dear Cousin. Hehehehe.” Solaris glared at him for a moment but sighted when he looked back at me. “Well lets be off then.”

I nodded and we both started walking towards the Royal Bathroom.

Inside the Royal Bathroom

We were standing in this Bathroom for at least an hour by now until the Device in my said that there are no Pheromones left on Solaris I stepped up to him and asked. “Is there anyone left that has Pheromones on them?”

Solaris shaked his head. “No I was the only one.”

I relaxed a lot. “Good and now lets burn the things you were wearing back then.”

There was a pop and a flash of light next to us. “I already did that and replaced them.” We looked at the source of the Voice…. I frowned it was Discord. “What not happy to see me… Well I don't really care anyway….”

I rolled my eyes. “Now where were we?”

King Solaris cleared his throat. “I was talking about my encounter with this Hellbug Skitterling.”

We started to walk back to the Room i woke up in.

I nodded. “Yes i remember. Let me guess after that all Hell broke loose because several more Hellbugs popped out of the Ground and started attacking you…. Am i right?”

Solaris laughed for about two seconds. “Yes this is what happened, now tell me you seem to know an awful lot about those creatures. Are there more threats we should be aware about?”

I nodded. “There are many more Creatures and Species you should be worried about. But the thing you should fear now are the Volge and the Dark Matter.”

“And why is that?”

Because right now I am most afraid of them. Because I doubt that there are any Mutants, Afflicted, Raiders, Ninety-Niners or Scrappers before the Volge and / or Dark Matter arrives.”

“I dont know what you are talking about but you said I should be worried about this Dark Matter and those Volge. Why if I am allowed to ask?”

I sighed. “I tell you about the Volge before I tell you about the Dark Matter.”

“As you wish.”

I nodded. “But I think it would be best if everyone-”

“Everypony.”

“EVERYONE is present. Even the Royal Guard and those Shadows.”

“I don't see why but-”

“DONT SEETH WHEREFORE? THOU DONT KNOWETH AUGHT! ALL THOU KNOWETH IS THAT THITHER ART BUGS THAT I SQUISH LIKETH JELLY. THESE HELLBUGS ART NOTHING COMPAR`D TO THE DARK MATTERETH AND THE VOLGE!!”

Solaris gave me a hard stare. Just then I realized that I was nose to nose with the King and i was yelling at him on top of my lungs and I slipped into Old English too

• Damn you Grandma and Grandpa for hammering Old English into my head during Childhood.-

I dropped to my knees and lowered my head. “I am sorry for yelling at you your Highness. Any Punishment you have for me is acceptable.”

I don't know how long i was kneeling and lowering my head until i heard a soft chuckle which slowly grew into two Voices laughing madly. I looked up to see Discord and Solaris holding each other while laughing their Asses off.

• Jerks!-

Solaris looked at me still laughing and trying to glare. “I heard that one”

“EEEEP~”

Both heard me making that sound and started laughing anew.

I just placed my Ass on the floor lowering my head. I can feel my Cheeks burning with shame and anger.

After what seemed for ever the both of them got control over their bodies again. Solaris stood up and looked at me. “I will make a meeting right away just follow good old Dissy here into the Grand Hall.”

I was about to say something but Discord was faster. “Oh why leading there when we also can drive there with a Roller Coaster?” He snapped a finger on his lion paw and i was sitting in a Cart safety belts snapping shut. Solaris eyes widened and that made all the enthusiasm go at once. I heard Discord's voice from out of a speaker build into the cart. “Please hold the grip in front of you.do not rise your hands into the Air until the ride stopped. We all from the Tartarus ride wish you a fast Ride.”

“OOOOHW CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP” Was all i said while Solaris was standing there his Hoof stretched to a cloud of dust where I once was. He sighed. “May Faust be with her.”

Nocturnal walked up from behind him. “Who and Why?”

“Discord took her on a Tartarus ride to the Grand Hall.”

Nocturnal got a Hoof to her mouth. “That poor dear.”

Solaris just nodded. “Well we have to get all the Guards and the Shadows into the Grand Hall.” And with that he started walking with Nocturnal by his side.

On the Hell-- Uhm... Tartarus Ride

The moment the Ride started I saw my Life Flashing before me…. Well what I remember of it. Sitting to my left was Discord wearing a T-Shirt with the words Tartarus Ride printed on it and to my right was Envion floating next to the Cart.

We drove past a Hallway and out of a pair of giant Double Doors. Once outside we drove hard to our left, which almost crushed me. Discord looked at me while the speed of the Tartarus Ride got faster and made a double Looping. “Enjoying the Ride?”

• No you damn Idiot.-

Discord smirked. “What not fast enough.” He raised one of his hands.

• He wouldn't.-

His grin was the most devilish grin I have ever seen. “Oh yes I will.”

I screamed. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

And with that he snapped a finger on his eagle claw hand-thing which caused not only the ride to double its speed but also go straight down a burning hole and Towards one giant grey Steelgate. I closed my eyes waiting for the impact.

But the Pain never came. The cart got straight through the gate once on the other side Discord stretched his arms out. “Welcome to Tartarus to your left and right you can see Equis most dangerous Criminals and Villains.”

I opened my eyes and looked around there was dark stone and fire as wide as the eye can see. I looked down and saw indeed multiple Cages each with a Prisoner or two in them. I also saw Cerberus walking between the Cages growling at a few of the Beings in the Cages. I also saw a few other Creatures patrolling between the Cells.

We turned sharply to the right and after that there came a little barrel roll. I heard Discord speak again. “And over there we have the River of Souls. Here go all the souls of the ones who died with darkness in their hearts.”

I looked up because this River flows across the ceiling. It looked like this River was made of deformed and stretched bodies screaming silently. I thought I heard silent moaning coming from it.

After a mile or two the River came straight down like a Waterfall into a hole of pure darkness.

Discord noticed what I was looking at. “That my dear is the Abyss or How I like to call it, the Beginning of the end and the end of the Beginning. This is where Life starts but yet at the same time ends.” He gave me a toothy grin.

Suddenly the cart goes straight up. In my head I screamed that gravity is a bitch right now.

We passed the Cages and Cells once more before going through the Steelgate. The ride didn't go any longer we shot into a building (which would be the Great Hall because it is HUUUUUUUUGE) and the cart vanished which send me flying into a giant block of green Jello or Jelly how ever you wanna have it.

Once inside the block i opened my mouth, to my surprise i can breathe perfectly in this block.

I looked out of the Block and saw that the whole hall was filled with all kinds of creatures all wearing armor of different kinds.

I opened my mouth again and took a bite out of the giant block which was all around me.

-Mmmmh Apple- I was happily about to take another bite from this delicious block when it suddenly vanished making me fall onto my stomach.

I pouted and a single tear materialized itself in the corner of my right eye. “But i so wanted to take another bite out of it.”

There was a snap followed by a flash of white and I had a bowl with the delicious jelly and a blue flower on top of it in my right hand and a spoon in my left. “Here enjoy.”

I smiled from ear to ear. “Thanks Discord.” With that I took a whole spoonful of the Jelly with the flower on top of it and shoved it into my mouth. I swallowed and smiled. “Mmmmh Delicious.”

Discord snickered. “Oh why… Thank you.”

I didn't mind the snickering until Nocturnal asked Discord a question. “Was this Flower a Poison Joke?”

I looked how Nocturnal smacked a hoof to her forehead. “You damn fool.”

Solaris stepped up beside me. “I put it simple for you…”

“Did you just call me stupid?”

He gave me a fast. “No.”

“I dont believe you.”

He grinned. “How ever you want to have it. But lets get back to the Poison Joke. The plant plays a joke on the ones touching it…. And you just ate one.”

“Crap.”

Discord appeared beside us sitting on a couch munching some Popcorn while wearing old 3-D glasses. “Well then it is more reason to see what effects it has on her.”

The Queen, the King, Discord and all the Guards leaned forwards to watch closely what effect the Plant has on me. “Could you please stop it with the staring. Since I am a Woman right now it feels weird to be stared at like that. I wouldn't mind if I was a Man buuuuut~.”

But they still kept staring at me.

After a whole 10 minutes of nothing but staring everypony got back into their original position and stared forward at the Queen and the King.

Discord frowned. “What?!? Nothing happened?”

I grinned at him. “I guess that I am Immune to this shit, Eh?”

This time it was Discord who pouted.

I cleared my throat to gain the attention of the King, Queen and the Guards. “You all may be wondering why we called you here right?”

A few nods and words of approval came from the crowd below us.

I nodded in satisfaction. “That is good, because i would be very afraid that some might know what i am gonna say next.”

The Crowd beneath us began to whisper between each other arguing what i could mean.

“I am gonna tell you now of three Enemies you should be aware off. First on the list are Hellbugs they are going to be our weakest Enemies, but don't you dare to think this will be easy. Many have died thinking that way. Anyways. Let us begin. Hellbugs come in a variety of forms ranging in size from the small young to the massive queens. They are covered in a chitinous hide which is very resilient to damage, but do have exposed gland-like structures on their bodies. They also possess razor sharp appendages capable of rapid excavation of very hard earth and rock, are capable of quick speeds and some can excrete toxins. Hellbugs have no ears so they must navigate by using vibrations and smell, particularly their own attack pheromones which they use to paint targets on prey or attract others to certain areas.” I made a pause to drink a little Water and let the Information i gave them take place in their heads.

I cleared my throat again to tell them more about Hellbugs. “They are very territorial, defending their hives, colonies and eggs with ferocity. They are considered to be quite aggressive, but research states that their aggression may be misunderstood. They are very resilient and very adaptive, some have been known to take on elemental properties being capable of producing electric shocks, breathing flames and expelling hazardous wastes. These hellbugs are much more resistant to conventional weapons than their ordinary counterparts. They are unable to live in water, but certain types of radiation can cause them to behave amphibiously.” I waited a little before continuing.

“Hellbugs often eat their prey to the bone, sometimes consuming the bones themselves. Hellbugs appear to pass the bones in their droppings without digesting them. Hellbug excrement contains a bacterium that attacks the roots of nearby plants, causing the creation of "polyploid cells" which leads to the mutation of the plant. Hellbugs need to consume water. Hellbugs are highly attracted to Gulanite and other minerals. Gulanite is converted through their digestive system into Petrohol. And before you ask Petrohol is a fuel source made from Gulantie.”

I took a deep breath. “Next on the list is the Volge.” I took another sip of my glass.

“The Volge are a species of world-conquering aliens, sometimes considered as one of the Votan races. The Volge stand over 8 feet tall and their bodies secret an organic armor which is very difficult to puncture. Their bodies also organically power their bionetic Cold-fire weapons. Volge do not process oxygen very well and require their armor to provide them with some protection. Volge are believed to reproduce with clone-like offspring through their DNA. The Volge are a very warlike race and equally feared by Humans and other Votans. They wear organic armor, similar to an alloy native to their home planet, that have in-built weaponry. They are allied with no other races and carry out attacks on all of them, raiding to collect ark debris. They live in massive underground colonies. I don't go into the Volge History because this is everything you need to know.”

I shudder a bit by thinking of the Dark Matter. “The next Enemy is the Dark Matter. Dark Matter, also known as Shkathe'Nado, is an alien group who wants to overthrow Humans. Well seeing as I am the Only Human here you don't have to fear much.” I joked a little.

“Anyways. Dark Matter were an elite unit of the Ekaru Kome but now only serve their own interests. They seek to control the world and eradicate the Human race and any Votan who sides with them. They wear very durable armor and many are implanted with EGO devices as well as carry telemetry cells embedded in their armor which track their movements. Dark Matter now consists of only Castithans and Irathients. Dark Matter officers hide their identities to prevent them from assassination. And before any of you ask, Castithans and Irathients are two different Alien races. Like the Volge, I don't want to go into history because this would be useless.”

I looked around a smile on my face. “If you have any Questions raise your…. Whatever you raise when you have a question.”

A total of two hooves raised itself. “You first.” I pointed at a the Hoof nearest to me. “Your Question?”

The Stallion looked me deep into the eye. “What is the best way to kill them?”

I grinned while holding my VOT Nano Fragger in the air. “Things like this is really effective against any of them. I didn't have time to talk to the local Scientists but the first thing i am going to do next is mass producing these.” I lowered my Weapon and pointed at the Bug like pony. “Your Question.”

“Nothing Personal lassy but what and who are ya? I may are fine with listening to your little talk here but I wanted to know morebout the being i am listenin` too.”

I grinned and raised my Voice. “My name is Amelia Deathcaller and I am Human. I will be your light when shit goes down the hole and I will be the one to pull you out of it.”

I looked at the crowd again. “Now do you have any more questions?”

Nothing came.

“Well if you change your mind come to the Bottomless Mug or to my Room. This will be the places you could find me in.” I turned to Solaris, Nocturnal and Discord.

“Well if anyone needs me I am out and getting drunk.”
