The wrench chronicles (bioshock)

SELCFMFC!!! (super epic long chapter for my fifth chapter :P)

Jack:

I woke up to see Twi Jass and Spike were already up and about "hi guys, what time is it?"

"it's about 9, did you enjoy your time with Pinkie last night" oh yeah.

"It was really fun, didn't Jass tell you?" I looked at Jass who was jumping to try and reach an apple, she sure loved apples.

"Yeah she did but I wanted to know what you thought of It." oh you smart schemer you.

"Well I need to visit a barber today." she looked at me quizzically.

"What’s a barber?" oh dear god I hope I don't have to make myself a razor that would be a pain.

"It’s someone who cuts you hair, my beard is getting way to long and my hair is a mess."

"ohhh I have a spell that can help with that" her horn glowed and my beard just disappeared; now that is slightly awesome. "You are going to have to imagine how you want your hair" I wanted it to be shorter but I just imagined an Elvis haircut, I don’t know why but he was the most famous man in America when I left on the plane. I looked at my new haircut in the mirror Twi provided, I looked good"

"ok then Twi do you have any other friends I need to meet?"

"yeah there is Fluttershy" Fluttershy? If names are anything to go by, and they normally are, she will be really shy. "But she is really shy" *sigh*.

"well then let's go meet her so she knows not to be scared of me, do you wanna go meet another friend Jass?" she nodded and held both her arms up, I picked her up and followed Twi outside.

We walked towards Applejacks farm but as we hit the edge of the orchard we turned off onto a small path, I could see a small bridge over a stream and a house in the distance. What was a house doing so close to the Everfree forest, especially with the pony living inside being so timid?

I put Jass down and we began to walk towards the front door, as Twi went to knock on the front door Jass fell over. She was crying when I heard the front door open and a yellow pony came rushing out a green med kit held by the handle, funny she uses her mouth to hold it. As Fluttershy, I assumed it was Fluttershy, was putting a plaster on Jass' knee, I asked Twi "I thought you said she was shy, why isn't she now?"

"because she is looking after an injured child" hmm strange it seemed that this pony could get over her initial fears if someone or something is in trouble. Hmm, a valuable friend in rough times.

"There, you are all patched up, feeling better?" Jass looked at Fluttershy and nodded her head she sniffled a bit but she seemed fine. "oh..." she looked at me and ran inside, oh dear this could be a long day.

"Fluttershy this is Twilight, the little girl that you just helped has a father and he wants to say thank you." I saw the door crack open and a pink mane emerged.

"It’s alright Fluttershy, I'm not going to hurt you, I want to be a friend." she slowly emerged, she said something but she said it so quietly I couldn't hear her.

"What’s going on Fluttershy?" oh god it's the menace. RD came out "oh... Hi I have to get going, I'm still trying to find out what is going on in the forest, cya." she flew strait for the forest.

"She still hasn't forgiven me has she?" I looked at Twi for an answer.

"No not yet, you did knock her out" Fluttershy recoiled a bit at this. "No don’t worry Fluttershy, RD tried to take Jass away from him."

"Oh why did she take her?" it seemed that Fluttershy was less shy around Jass.

"She thought that Jack was the monster from the forest" I just grinned and rubbed the back of my head. I looked out at her garden, I saw loads of animals there were: birds, mammals, reptiles and in the pond there was some fish.

"There are a lot of animals around, Fluttershy do you look after them?" she seemed to perk up at that.

"Oh yes, you aren't looking for a pet are you? Some of them are looking for a good home."

"I'm afraid I'm not at the moment, but I know where I will come if I need one" she seemed a bit sadder at this. "Do you need any help with the animals?"

"I could use the help with feeding the birds, I don't like carrying their food it tastes really bad" I'm guessing they eat worms and without the use of hands she has to pick them up with her mouth.

I followed her over to a small shed, she opened the door and pointed towards the worms "those need to be given to the birds ... If that's ok with you" I picked up the worms and carried them over to the feeding table.

I noticed that some of the animals were ... Showboating, call me crazy but I think that these animals are smarter than their brothers at home. I noticed Jass was reaching out to a rabbit, the rabbit reached out with its paw and knocked her hand away, wow the animals here are smarter. Jass seemed upset at this "I’m sorry, but angel is a grumpy bunny"

I picked up the rabbit and started to scratch it behind the ears, it instantly calmed down and went to sleep. Awww isn't that cute I liked this bunny Fluttershy looked astounded "how did you do that? Angel doesn't let anyone pick him up"

"it's a human thing, I used my fingers to scratch him behind the ears, and he really likes it apparently" Twi and Fluttershy looked astounded; I'm guessing this bunny has a mean temperament most of the time.

It was then that Twi spoke up "Do you want to come round mine for some lunch?" strange it isn't quite lunch time yet.

"Yeah sure, that sounds nice" as we walked back I heard some thunder. "It’s going to rain today if the forecast is on time."

"Oh we better hurry up then" I looked at Fluttershy; Jass was asleep on her back.

"There is no point Jack the rain is due in about thirty seconds if my calculations are correct." Twi's calculations turned out to be correct, the rain started to fall.

Jass had woken up and as soon as she noticed the rain she started to cry. "What’s the matter Jass?" Fluttershy had craned her neck round to look at Jass; hmm she started crying when the rain started so that's what set her off. Wait water coming down on top of her, the only time that would only happen at home is when the sea is coming in on her, no wonder she is scared.

"She thinks the ocean is coming down on her." Twi and Fluttershy looked at me as though I was crazy, "well we used to live under the sea, and if you felt water coming down on you, well it's bad news"

"well I guess that is understandable, but why aren't you scared?"

"well I wasn't born in the underwater city but she was" I took my jacket off and wrapped Jass up in it, she stopped crying but I could tell she was still scared.

I saw the library ahead and we ran towards it, as we opened the door and ran inside I noticed a crowd, what the ... "surprise!" the whole crowd erupted. This was a party? Who would organise a party for me? Pinkie bounced over towards me.

"So did you like the surprise, was it a good surprise, everyone likes surprises and a party is always good, so it must be a good surprise!" ow that hurt my head.

I grabbed Pinkie and I squeezed her "thank you, this is amazing" she seemed to turn to liquid and poured out of my arms. "Err"

"you are the most awesome friend ever!" Pinkie then seemed to reform back into her normal shape.
I took Jass' hand and went towards the food buffet, there seemed to be an abundant supply of cupcakes, we will have to fix that.

Jass couldn't reach the food on the table so I grabbed a cupcake off of the top of the table kneeled down and passed one to Jass, I heard a bunch of "awwws" from behind, looks like we have an audience.

Twi was stood next to me; I whispered to her "what's with all of them?" Twi was quietly laughing.

"I don't know if you have noticed but the amount of stallions around here is … lacking, and you know how to look after a child. Not to mention about that giant snake ... Yes I know about that." wonder if she knows about my plasmids yet. Don't think so I haven't been bombarded with questions yet.

"And the fact that I'm a different species doesn't bother them?" it just boggled my mind how quickly they got over the species barrier.

"seems not, some of those mares seem to be really interested in you though I would watch out." if this is what they are like, what about when I'm in uniform ... Oh god.

A pony with crossed eyes approached me "do you like cupcakes?" err is she a few drops of Adam short of a plasmid?

"Err yes I do" she pulled me into a hug, ohhh kay, bit weird but I don’t think she is all there. She took off and flew away. "Twi, who was that?"

"Mmm" she turned around and looked at the grey pony that had just crashed into a bookshelf. "Oh that's Derpy Hooves" I gave her a look that said stupid? "Yeah, but she is alright."

Wait what's that noise, it was a loud rumbling, I turned round to see Pinkie with an oversized pink cannon "oh god no" I saw Jass underneath a table behind the cannon eating cupcakes with Applebloom, Sweetiebell and Scootaloo.

The cannon fired and I was sent across the room, apparently everyone had expected this as they moved out of the way, I landed in a pile of cushions. Oh god who gave her a cannon!

I got back up after a few minutes rest, I may have landed softly but I was still winded from the cannon firing at me. I then saw AJ with a big red pony, this one was more muscular than the rest, and I assumed this was the big mac that AJ had mentioned a few days ago. "Hey there AJ, I'd assume this is Big Mac?

"Eeyup" it was the red one that answered I guess he is Big Mac then. He looked at my arms and looked kinda sad, what's that about?

AJ must have noticed the confused look on my face "ah don't ya be worrying about him, he is just a bit put out cause you have the bigger muscles" ok that's amusing.

"Anyway I have many people to see while I'm here so I better get talking, it was nice to meet you Big Mac"

"eeyup" ok is that all he says? I saw Pinkie bouncing around the food buffet eating massive amounts of food in one bite, I saw her pick up a cake and open her mouth and just push it in, it wasn't a cupcake it was a full blown cake.

"Hi Pinkie thank you for the party." she doesn't stop bouncing does she?

"Oh its ok I love parties but then so does everyone! Now come with me we need to meet some new friends!" she dragged me towards the group of mares who seemed to be interested in me, no please the awkwardness is overwhelming!

After an hour of mingling I heard something it seemed to be shouting, RD flew through an open window and crashed into the buffet table. AJ was the first to react "RD watcha think ya are doing?"

"the monster I found it! It was in the woods, it had loads of red eyes and it was massive." oh ... Crap how did it get here? Unless they have something like that here naturally.

"watcha talkin about RD, there ain't no monster like that in the forest." I ignored AJ, ran up to RD and picked her up.

"What did it have on its arm? Was it a metal pointy thing?" I couldn't go into details about what a drill is; I don't even think they have them here.

"Yes it was a metal pointy thing!" she was starting to get hysterical, I turned to Twi.

"Get my guns and look after Jass while I’m gone" she didn't ask any questions, I guess my tone of voice was too serious for her to question me, she just ran into the basement. "Now RD where about was this monster?"

"it was near the old castle where we got the elements of harmony" ok no idea where that is. "I can fly you there if you need it" ok that could work, Twi ran back into the room a crystal chest behind her, it was beautiful, the chest not Twi ... Maybe Twi, a bit. The chest itself had no lock or latch, Twi's horn glowed and the chest popped open my weapons were inside, I picked up the shotgun and my pistol; I had an abundance of ammo for those, hehe abundance every time I think of that word I think of a bun dancing.

"Ok RD you ready? We need to get going now before it moves." RD finally got up off the table; she walked over to the door. She got over the crash quite quickly, I wonder if it happens often.

"Yea I'm ready when you are" after waving to the stunned crowd I left, following her outside. She took off and floated above me "grab my front legs" I did as she said and she instantly flew towards the forest.

"Listen RD I'm really sorry about what happened the other day, I thought you would hurt Jass."

"why would you think that? Nopony would hurt a child here"

"are you sure about that, the first two ponies I met tried to take Jass away from me and rob me of everything else. One ended up almost dead and the other ran away, so yes I have a reason to think that."

"Oh I'm ... Sorry I never knew" she seemed truly sorry, seems there is a different part to this pony she may not be a brute. I looked down and saw the forest speeding by.

"So how much further is this place"

"only a few minutes"

"ok when we get there you must leave strait away, I don't want you to get hurt and if this is what I think it is then it could take you out of the air."

"Ok here we are"

???:

I sat in the ruins for goodness knows how long. I was alone; I don't know where I am or how I got here. I wandered the ruins yet again I woke up here a year ago, and I had seen no-one in that whole time. I heard thundering footsteps behind me, I turned around to see a massive metal monster it had a lot of red eyes. It thundered towards me. "Heellllppp!!"

Jack:

I landed on the ground, I could see the old ruins that RD had talked about. As I walked forwards I looked down "gotcha" there was a footprint in the mud and it led towards the ruins. I followed the path that the monster had left, I wasn't being quiet or sneaky there is no point, if it's what I think it is then it won't help. "Heellllppp!!" what the hell was that? Wait if there is someone around here then I should hurry up, I ran towards the ruins which was where the scream came from.

As I ran into what seemed to be the main room, a big daddy was looming over a small pony with a strange dark blue mane, it was strange because it flowed and was slightly transparent. I turned my attention back to the big daddy "hey there old friend" I fired three ammo piercing pistol bullets into his back; he turned round and charged strait at me.

I jumped to the side and the drill hit the wall where my head was about a second ago. Hah it's stuck the drill had stuck into the wall it couldn't get it out, I walked over to the big daddy and like an idiot forgot it had two hands. His second hand tightened around my throat and he held me in the air. Oh dear that's bad news.

Bad news for you that is, I brought up my shotgun and fired straight into its face. It fell down like a sack of bricks, I looked round at the small pony it had both a horn and wings. The only other pony I saw with both of them was Celestia "what's your name" she shied away from me. "It’s ok I won't hurt you"

"you promise?" it was a girl; her voice was a dead giveaway.

"Yes no-one will hurt you when I am there to protect you" she seemed to become a little less shy at this.

"I don't know my name, I can't remember it. What's yours?" I wonder how long she has been out here. She looks dirty and she can't remember her name, Poor thing well I will look after her now.

"My name is jack, do you wanna come with me?" she nodded her head, I was glad I had brought my bag. As I opened it she shied away again, "don't worry, you will be safe in here, do you wanna get inside and sleep?" she nodded her head so I picked her up and put her inside, she snuggled down and started to go to sleep. Aww cute, now if I remember correctly Ponyville is this way, I began walking it was going to be a long day.

Twi:

I made everyone leave the party when RD came back, now the only people here where Rarity, AJ, RD, Fluttershy, Pinkie and me.

"So girls you have all met Jack what do you think of him?"

"I really really like him he is a super duper best friend!" Pinkie, check

"he is really kind" Fluttershy, check

"he is just darling" Rarity, check

"he seems to be an honest guy" AJ, check

"he is ... Ok I guess" RD, well check sorta.

"Well I think he is perfectly kind to people, that is if you don't harm or take Jass away from him." I looked over to Jass who sat on the buffet table with the three fillies eating all the cupcakes in sight.

"Well yes but he is a bit unstable if that happens, don't you think?" it was your own fault RD.

"well maybe a bit, but I don't think he had such a good life before he came here. Now back on topic, what did you see RD?" I looked at her expectantly.

"Well, the monster was huge it hat metal plating all over its body and it was rusty as though it had been in the ocean or something." ok that reminded me didn’t jack say he came from under the ocean. "it had a massive pointy object on its arm that it could spin, it looked dangerous." wait didn't jack know about the weapon?" ok jack has seen this thing before, I'm calling the princess.

Jack:

Well I could make it home in a hour if I ran full pelt, but then there is a chance of falling over something. I'll run, but not so fast so I don't trip over anything. So I began to run back I crossed over rivers and gorges ran through deep undergrowth but not once did I see a single creature, that's odd I wonder what is causing that? I was making good progress that is until the small filly started to squirm in my back pack. I let her out and somehow she had bed hair "what's the matter?"

"I'm hungry" I wonder what she has been living on for the past few days? Oh well, I wonder what I have in my bag that she can eat? Hmm sardines, no ... Err potato chips, probably and a candy bar should do it, I also have a bottle of water for her as well. "thank you" ok she officially has the cutest voice ever, I watched her tuck into all this food she munched down the crisps and had started to eat the candy bar when I realised it was getting dark, and I was tired, I can't continue to run home now.

I saw a cave off to the right it was only a small one but it would do, I brought the young filly over to the cave and put her inside. I then climbed in after her the cave itself was about four foot of the ground, for that reason alone I assumed it would be safe, I assumed correctly there was no sign of any animal inside of the cave. "Alright now you must not leave this cave" I put emphasis on the 'must not' part because most children I knew liked to wander around. I went into the back of the cave with my backpack and the small filly and laid down on the rocks, it wasn't comfy but I have felt worse.

My dream was strange I woke up outside the library, everything was twisted and strange the tree had an evil aura to it. Twi came out with her six friends behind her, and they were angry at me, told me to leave. It was the worst thing that could have happened I was hated, then came the worst Jass and the filly left me ran over to Twi, I was alone Ponyville dissolved and I was in a jail cell Celestia opposite me, she berated me she shouted at me them she banished me. I woke up suddenly it turned out the small filly had been sleeping on my chest and when I sat up she got launched across the cave, she grumbled and plodded back over to where we were, and soon I had fallen asleep again.

When I woke up again it was the middle of the night, I couldn't see the little filly anywhere but I could hear her, she was snoozing in my backpack. I slowly picked it up without waking her and put it on, once I had made sure she wouldn’t fall out I set off into the forest again, the sun had started to rise the sky was still a dark blue. I passed a tree that looked very familiar, I found this strange until I realised where I was. Just over in that cave is the vita-chamber, now do I program her DNA into it? I probably should seeing as I'm looking after her now, ok I'm doing it.

After I had integrated her DNA into the machine I sat down for a drink at a pond that was nearby, Jesus I looked worse for wear. I had bruising all round my neck and I also had what looked to be a black eye, great this is going to look amazing when I get into town. Talking about town, I better get going, after a few more minutes of running I could see the edge of town in the distance, wait is that the princess? I could see two forms flying towards Twi's house one was white with a flowing mane and the other was a dark blue with a flowing mane, guess so let's go meet them.

As I went to enter Twi's house I realised how tired I was, my legs were fatigued and my neck was killing. I stumbled through the front door and my legs finally gave up on me I dropped to my knees. "Jack!" it was Twi that had reacted the fastest.

"I'm fine, don't worry." the rest of them were staring at me, what's the matter with them ... Oh right the whole face thing. "Yeah it's dealt with

They all looked pleased that is except for Celestia and Luna, "how do you know of that creature?" Celestia surprised me with that question how did she know?

"It is from my land, it was touching ... Me when we came through, it should be the only one to have come through." they all looked at AJ at this.

"He is telling the truth mostly, it wasn’t touching him I don’t think" ok what kind of shenanigans is this, how does she know I wasn't telling the full truth.

I took my bag off and carefully put it on the ground, it was then that the young filly poked her head out. Twi instantly noticed "who is that?"

"I don't know her name but I found her in the old ruin where RD dropped me off, she was being attacked by the monster." they all looked at AJ he nodded her head and that was that "she can't remember her name and she doesn't have a family to look after her."

As she jumped out of the bag both Luna and Celestia did a double take, oh god that can't be good. "Jack step away from her" Celestia had a slight tremor in her voice, nope not good at all.

"Why, she is a small filly, what can she do?" everyone apart from Celestia and Luna were looking confused.

"that 'small filly' is actually nightmare moon and we must destroy her" ok then that's not going to happen I'm sure the others won't let it ... Oh god they look like they want her gone too.

"No you won't harm her, I won't let you, and you will have to get through me first." I was thrown aside as I finished it; I hit the bookshelves and slid down them. Celestia and Luna's horn were glowing a small sphere had appeared between the two of them it was growing bigger until they fired. By that time I was on my feet and running towards Nightmare Moon, I jumped in-between her and the ball of energy.

It ripped through my chest leaving a crater behind, it hadn't gone all the way through, but it still was going to kill me. "If you hurt her before I get back I will destroy you" I shut my eyes and felt the feeling of cold glass on my face.

Twi:

"What does he mean? How will he get back? You killed him! How could you?" I was panicking, I mean I couldn't raise Jass on my own and my friend was just killed.

"I think I have an idea. But we will have to wait for his return." the rest of the group were silent, all apart from the young Nightmare moon she was weeping in the corner. Jacks body glowed golden and disappeared.

After five minutes of anxious waiting jack came back in "ok Celestia, Luna everyone gets one."

"One what? And how dare you threaten the royal sisters!" oh god Luna is in her royal voice.

"One time forgiveness from me, don't make the same mistake twice. And the fact is you can't do anything to stop me completely! I am abiding to your laws through choice! You can't kill me you can't imprison me for long. It would be better if you don't make me your enemy!" I have never seen jack this mad before he always seemed calm and collected ... Well he hasn't been killed before now.

A blinding flash lit the room and Celestia, jack and Luna were gone. Oh dear what has he got himself into now?

Celestia:

We landed in my bedroom Jack was on the floor "Jack get up." he slowly got to his feet; he had nothing more to say to me apparently. "Jack I'm going to access the memories of your life before coming here."

"nope, no ... Nope, not happening, no no no ... No" he thought he had a choice how cute.

"I wasn’t asking." I saw Luna hold him down with her magic, smart girl. I launched into his mind, I saw a farm his family ... Did he lie about his life? I saw him grow up with a loving family, he got on a plane.

And then the darkness began, the plane crashed he swum to a lighthouse and descended, after many minutes of watching this unfold I realised why he acts the way he does, he has been betrayed by everyone he knew, he is insecure and loyal.

I stumbled backwards and broke the connection, what I had seen was too horrible for words. The things he had been through the things he had to do to survive, how is he so stable? His mind should be in tatters. "Celly are you alright?"

"Yeah, yeah I guess so" I didn't feel it, I felt awful. "Jack you can go back now, I'm so sorry"

"don't be, you now know why I act like I do." I did that's the strange thing I understood all his actions so far, he holds on to those that love him and he won't let them go.

"I will send you back now" he nodded his head in agreement; I don't think he will be too much of a problem as long as no-one tries to hurt those two girls. I used the teleportation spell to send him back to Twilight Sparkles home.

"Do you think they can be trusted?" Luna looked slightly nervous, I guess that's natural.

"Him yes, her maybe, if it comes to it Jack will do the right thing." Luna nodded her head I guess we can only wait and see.

Jack:

I landed in front of Twi the others were looking over her shoulder at me, I didn't feel good, I felt ashamed I let my anger get the better of me. I looked into each of their eyes they looked at me with a mixture of concern and as though I was untrustworthy it was as if my dream was coming true. This combined with the sudden reality of how many lives I had ended it caused something strange to happen. It was then for the first time in my life I broke down I started to sob, everyone tried to comfort me but I just couldn't get over it. I tried to scoot away from them but Pinkie pounced on me and started to hug me.

After like ten minutes of me sobbing I finally got over it. I felt silly, I went through rapture without a slight hiccup, but if I get the slightest idea that they will abandon me, I turn into a crying child. "Ok Jack what was that about" Twi was looking at me, oh how the tables have turned.

"I had a dream where you were all abandoning me and I thought it was coming true." every single one of them pulled me into a massive hug.

"We would never leave you silly. Who would protect us from all the meanies?" out of all of the people who could have said it Pinkie said it the best.

"Now thank you guys now if you excuse me I have had a hard day and I'm about to hit the floor with some force" everybody looked confused until I started to tip.

I think that is the last of the violence for a while. he will start work tommorow, and a side note this was going to be split up into chapters with a cliffhanger but i thought ... no, so i merged them enjoy!
