What a wonderfully fucked up lifeby JJcrafter50ChaptersNew friends and a new nameMaliceAftermathThe HiveThe VirusSOMBRA and other shitSiegeThe LichupdateTraitorDevastation and the BiomachineA new life filled with excitementDeadly Duels, Healing Spells, and Terrifying TestsNew friends and a new nameChapter 2 New friends and a new name During my deep sleep I began to dream. My dream consisted of replaying my killing of the hybrid. Which I had decided looked a lot like a griffin from mythology. The only thing keeping me together was the fact that griffins were all mythology and that I was in some sort of a coma dreaming inside of a dream. “Crunch.” “Wha.” “Crunch.” There must be some sort of animal out there. Oh shit what do I do what do I do. Wait I have super powers. I slowly peeked out of the tent flap and what I saw was a large lion bat scorpion thing eating a white dodo. I am sorry for your loss almost extinct species. Which power should I use. Maybe gas manipulation and make it fall asleep. Yeah that sounds good enough. I slowly stretched out my arm towards the beast. Small purple wisps of smoke flowed from my finger tips out of the tent and surrounded the beast. Immediately it recognized the change but didn’t understand what it was. That was the case until it slowly wobbled back and forth slowly falling into the clutches of sleep. “Thud.” “Yes.” Got em. Now to see exactly what I got. Climbing out of the tent I looked around to make sure there weren’t anymore of them. Well at least something good happened to me. “Wow.” The creature I was looking at was an actual manticore like the ones from mythology except unlike the griffin it wasn’t standing up maybe it is still considered a beast in this new world. I had given up the idea of being in a coma. I’m pretty sure a bullet can’t tear through your leg while your in a coma. Unfortunately I'm not a doctor so I don’t really know but I can still guess. Oh well might as well get to practicing with my nanite control. (POV ???) “Come on girls we have to save the endangered white dodos the princesses told us that it was an urgent matter.” “We’re coming alright the boat to the island doesn’t leave for a few hours.” “I understand that but we may as well be early. Who knows what we’ll find on that island maybe a new species. (POV Soon to be named human) I was quite pleased with myself. I had managed to have the nanites build over Spot’s tent. It was a little bit larger and more insulated to keep the warm air in and cold air out. “Yes I have done it I have mastered basic nanite control. Now for some defense.” I had an idea of what I wanted but before I could build it I heard far off voices. Grabbing my musket, ammunition, and knife I ran into the forest to watch for who it was. Maybe the manticore will finally wake up and chase them off. I knew it was still alive after I checked for breathing and a heart beat. “Oh my goodness.” I looked over to my right and saw what looked like a bipedal pegasus. “This day is just full of surprises.” The pegasus was wearing a short green and yellow skirt with a similar colored shirt. “What is it Fluttershy.” So that’s it’s name and from the pitch it’s female. “There is a manticore and I think it’s dead. I have to go check on it.” “Flutters wait it could be dangerous.” “Fluttershy watch out I think it’s waking up.” Indeed it was and even though I couldn’t see her friends but I knew she’d be long dead before they reached her. “Damn should’ve just killed the thing. Well guess I should help her out then.” Putting the preloaded musket to my shoulder I aimed at the manticores quickly awakening form and boy did it look mad. The girl didn’t run she didn’t scream she just made herself as small as possible. Aiming strait at the manticore's head as it was raising it’s tail for the strike I held my breath pulling the trigger I prayed to everything ever this would work. “BANG!” The manticore slumped to its side a massive hole in it’s head. (POV Fluttershy) Oh no why is this manticore so mad at me I tried to stare it down and talk to it but it didn’t work and now I was going to be eaten. “BANG!” There was the loud bark of a musket going off and the manticore stopped for a second before falling to it’s side a massive hole in it’s head. My friends were shouting at me but all I could see was the large figure walking towards me. It looked like a hairless monkey and it was holding a smoking musket. “Are you alright.” It asked. “I…I’m fine thank you.” "Here let me help you.” It reached it’s had out for me to grab and once I did it pulled me up. “Hey you get away from her.” Hearing this I turned to talk but it was to late she was going to hit and hurt us both. Then something happened I was thrown to the side just before we were hit the creature taking the full hit. (POV Very soon to be named human) What the hell hit me. Oh look I have shattered arms I hope the nanites take care of this. Thought this thought I could already feel the cooling sensation of my bones being repaired the nanites suppressing the pain. “Rainbow!” “What.” “Why did you do that.” “It could have hurt you.” “But it didn’t it saved me now I’m going to check on it.” Their conversation was quite interesting but I was still a little dizzy from the hit I took. How fast was that thing going. Behind the quickly approaching girl I could see here friends. I still couldn’t make out their attire at this distance but I could see their colors. Purple, pink, orange, and white. Then there was the one she called Rainbow who was blue with rainbow hair. “Hello.” Turning to the girl’s voice I replied. “Hello.” “I’m sorry about my friend she easily jumps to conclusions.” “Ah. I once had a friend like that he meant well of course.” “So what’s your name you probably know mine from my friends yelling.” Shit what am I going to call myself here. Well a new place a new name so might as well restart with names. “My name is Malice.” “Nice to meet you. Now let me see your arms they are probably quite injured.” “I will be fine in a second just a little sore.” “How.” “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” “Well go ahead and try.” “I have tiny robots inside of my body repairing my shattered arm and rib bones so I should be good in about ten seconds.” “Oh wow that is hard to believe.” “I know right.” As she helped me up her friends got even closer and I could better make them out. The purple one was wearing a school girl out fit. Not one of the sexual ones just a normal one thank God for that. The pink one was wearing a white dress that had what looked to be icing and candles on top. Orange girl had the typical cowgirl getup right down to the cowboy hat. Then there was the white one who obviously worried way to much about fashion she wore a white shirt with a black belt and purple skirt. Last and definitely least in my opinion was Rainbow her attire consisted of a tight sports shirt and tight sport shorts. As me and Fluttershy walked from my landing space her friends took fighting stances. “Girls what are you doing.” “It could be dangerous Fluttershy. Also why aren’t you scared of it.” The purple girl said. “Because he saved my life by shooting that manticore.” “Wow that was you!” The pink one exclaimed. “Yes that was me.” “If Flutters er says yer not an bad pony that’s good enough fear me.” “What do you mean pony?” “Well your a pony aren’t ya.” “No I’m a human. Also if your talking to someone of another species it is a little racist to call them ponies.” “Why?” “Well what if they aren’t ponies.” “That is a good point.” Purple said. “Wait before we continue this conversation I need to know your names. I already know Fluttershy so let’s start I’m Malice. Author's Note I love constructive criticism if you have any. Malice(POV Malice) “Now then what are your names.” “I’m Princess Twilight Sparkle.” “Ma name”s AppleJack.” “Hello darling I’m Rarity.” “My name’s Rainbow Dash the fastest flier in Equestria.” Prideful much. “Hiya my names Pinkie Pie and if you come with us we can have a party with cake and balloons and streamers and all of the party things.” “Interesting now it is clear you are all the same species but what about sub-species.” “Well I’m an alicorn, Pinkie and AppleJack are earth ponies, Rainbow and Fluttershy are pegasi, and Rarity is a unicorn.” “This is different from what I’m used to but what advantages do each of you have for your different types.” “Well alicorns posses all three traits of the sub-species. Unicorns can manipulate magic, pegasi can manipulate clouds, and earth ponies are ten times stronger than normal ponies and have a magical tether to the earth.” “Thats a good explanation. Ah here we are my campsite.” (POV Twilight) What I saw before me didn’t look at all like a campsite just a large ten by ten by ten metal box with a door on the front. Still Malice quickly spoke up. “Home sweet home.” “Where is your home.” “Well straight through that door of course.” “Oh.” “Here I’ll show you.” Malice quickly crawled into the small door. Shouting back at us he said. “Come on in everything is fine.” So I crawled into his small home with my friends right behind me. “Wow.” Inside was totally different than outside. A soft light came from a small structure in the corner, There was a bed that appeared to be around four feet wide six feet long with blankets that looked like they had seen better days on it. There was a door leading into a six by three room which I could only assume to be a bathroom of sorts. A hearth and a couch in front of the hearth. “How did you do this.” “Through the power of nanites.” “What?” “Microscopic self replicating robots capable of transforming into anything smaller than fifteen feet.” “Oh my goodness. You must tell me how to make them.” “With your tech level i’d be surprised if you could build a computer.” “I have built a computer and it has quite a lot of storage on it.” “How much?” “One megabyte.” “Hahahahahaha. Oh God tell me your joking.” “Why would I joke about something so complicated.” “Computers where I come from can store multiple terabytes.” “What is a terabyte?’ “One thousand megabytes equals a gigabyte. One thousand gigabytes equals a terabyte.” “You are lying AppleJack come here help me tell if he is lying.” “Sugarcube he ain’t lying he’s tellin the truth.” “What…How…Why…Ughh.” “Hahahaha. Oh well Twilight eventually your kind will reach it’s level of this tech.” This is so frustrating. Wait why did the princesses send us here again. “Malice have you seen any white dodos.” “Yes I saw a manticore eating one also I saw a hunter by the name of Spot On hunting them.” “A hunter but it’s illegal to hunt them.” “He said something about the princesses having no power here. Then he shot at me for scaring his prey.” “Wow. Spot On was here.” Rainbow said. “Yes do you know him.” “He is the biggest hunter on terra.” “Terra is the name of this planet correct.” “Yeah but if he died my entire world would come crashing down and i’d have to go back to Daring Do.” “Ok hey you should go checkout that lava lamp over there with Pinkie.” “Oh ok that sounds awesome.” As rainbow left Malice leaned over and whispered to me. “I may have accidentally killed Spot On.” “You what!” “Quiet down it was his own fault he attacked me first.” “Why?” “Because I scared off his prey a white dodo.” “So you fought back after he shot at you.” “Yes.” “How?” “I can create and launch missiles.” “Missiles?” “Large flying explosive tubes.” “So he is gone.” “Yep.” “Forever.” “Yep.” “Well we probably shouldn’t tell her.” “Shouldn’t tell me what.” “Alright you got me I have to tell you.” “Malice what are you doing.” “I was just talking to Twilight about how magic works in a thumatic dynamo. It’s a very interesting conversation if you want to join us.” “No way that’s nerd stuff.” “Good job you got her to take the bait and she didn’t figure out you killed Spot On.” “WHAT!” Rainbow quickly flew over and tackled Malice. “Rainbow stop.” “Don’t you see Twilight he just brought us here to kill us.” “No Rainbow he didn’t. Spot On shot at him first for scaring away a white dodo he was trying to kill.” “Still he is a killer. We have to take him to Celestia to be punished.” “Twi that is the law. Even though ah don wana do it we have ta.” “Wait what. I’m being punished for defending myself.” “Did you try to talk it out.” “Yes but he tried to kill me.” “Still darling allow Twilight to put some magic handcuffs on you.” “No way. Never.” (POV Malice) What the hell is this place I almost died then I get punished for surviving. “I am not going with you. Now get out of my house!” I was furious that they would threaten me in my own home. “Ahm might sorry bout this but it has ta be done.” I was wondering what she was talking about till I was hit in the head and everything went black. My only thoughts were of what the hell was happening. (POV Twilight) “So girls what are we going to do with him once Celestia punishes him?” “We can find a way to purify him without the elements.” “Yes we could. Before finding the elements Celestia and Luna used to banish all sorts of evil spirits.” “That sounds like a swell idea darling.” “Fluttershy what do you think.” “Well…um…I think he shouldn’t be punished. I mean he was just defending himself.” “What do you me Flutters the guy is a killer he needs to be locked up forever.” “Rainbow let’s not get ahead of ourselves darling. I mean he could have been mind controlled.” “Yeah but still if the Princess doesn’t put him away I will.” “That sounds really dark Rainbow. Are you ok.” “Sorry I guess some of the pressure at the weather factory is getting to me we have a lot of storms and clear days lined up." “We understand it can be hard working so long.” “Yeah.” “Twilight I think you should see this.” “See what Pinkie?” “It looks like he’s waking up from his nap.” “What that shouldn't be possible. He should have been asleep till we got him to the dungeons.” “Well he’s awake now. Maybe you should go check on him.” “Ok I will.” (POV Malice) Every thing was dark not it’s night time dark I mean dark as in void dark. “Well you already fucked up.” “What who's there.” “Well you haven't met me yet but I’m your benefactor as my messages called me.” “Oh thats neat I guess.” “You guess?” “Well I can’t really see you so I don’t know who you are.” “Well lets just say that I'm someone who's seen just about everything in the multiverse so I wanted to see something new.” “So what should I call you.” “We are in the void so you can call me that.” “So your name is Void.” “For the time being yes it is.” “Well then Void what happened.” “Those equines thought you were a threat so the knocked you out and tied you to a rail inside of a empty train car.” “Wow and they did that after I saved their friend.” “Yeah their species is against any and all kinds of violence. So if you punched some one you could be looking at five to six years in prison.” “Wow really.” “Yeah.” “So now for killing I’m basically on death row.” “Well they banned the put to death punishments at most you'll get four to five life times in there.” “But I’ll die in one.” “Trust me they have ways that’s why you have to escape.” “Ok I will escape.” “Oh one more thing. I gave your nannies some new abilities that would have taken you years to figure out.” “Thanks I guess.” “Oh don’t worry you’ll like them. Well this is where I say goodbye If you ever need any advice or help just call my name when your in a dream.” “Ok bye.” And just like that I began to wake up. I was in a train just like Void had said I was. “Well shit. How am I going to get out now.” My left arm was tied to a small rail. “Idiots this thing is only about half an inch thick and not only that but it’s rusted over.” I began to pull and bang on it trying to at least get it to bend. It bent easily just like I thought. Once I’m out we’ll see what those ponies have to say. (POV Twilight) I was at the porthole that allowed us to see into the next car and there he was just like Pinkie said. He was most definitely awake and had already bent the bar he was attached to that bar was made on hardened titanium how could he do this. “Oh my Celestia.” Seconds after my words he was able to crack it in half and pull the rope from it. Once free he immediately locked eyes with me raising his right arm and forming what he called a missile. “Oh buck.” “Twilight is everything alright down there.” Rainbow dash said as she walked towards me. I quickly looked back only to see that he had launched his weapon straight at us. “Rainbow! Get down now.” “Huh?” “KABOOM!” (POV Malice) Wow that was much bigger than I thought it would be. Looking at the aftermath I first heard screaming awful screaming, second I saw a writhing form on the ground, and third I noticed it was Rainbow Dash and she was on fire. “Holy shit.” “Ahhhhhhhhh” She screamed once again. “RAINBOW!” I heard twilight yell as she ran over to try and help her friend. In my mind I couldn’t decide if she deserved this or not but as they slowly moved away and I slowly stopped moving. I had decided that the stupid bitch had it coming for breaking my arms. Well look out Terra Malice is here and he's ready. Author's Note I love constructive criticism Aftermath(POV Malice) Thankfully the two train cars behind me weren't loaded with passengers but instead with materials and food. There was iron, gold, copper, steel, aluminum, tin, wooden planks, bags of concrete, bags of sand, boxes of various foods, barrels of water, and I also had two and a half train cars to work with. “Well this should be quite useful.” Looking at the materials again I noticed there was another material I hadn't seen when I first checked. The box was labeled with a material I had never heard of “Cloud Stone”. There was only a small amount of it though maybe three cubic feet while the others had at least ten each. “What do you do?” Looking inside I also found a small pamphlet. It seemed to list the properties of this new metal. “Lets see Lighting proof, allows altering of clouds, and walking on clouds.” That is so awesome. If I build a suit I need to ad that in. “Hello sir would you like our help?” “Who’s there?” “It is us the nanites in your body sir” “Is this what Void was talking about when he said he gave you new abilities.” “Yes sir it is. We are now a fully functional AI and are able to help you with many tasks.” “Hey could you stop saying we and say “I” instead.” “Yes sir I will try my best not to say “we” also is there anything else you need.” “Yes is there a way you can build me a suit to wear not like an formal suit but an armored one.” “Yes sir I will get right on that.” “Also instead of saying “sir” all the time you can call me “Malice” ok.” “Ok I will Malice.” “Good now are you able to see what I want my suit to look like and the functions I want.” “Yes Malice I do but even with your augmentations you will need more to be able to use this suit.” “That is alright with me. Go ahead and begin the process.” “Malice I am also going to go ahead and build the suit around you too alright.” “Ok.” “This shall take around two hours so I am going to put you to sleep alright.” “Fine by me. Maybe I can talk to Void some more.” “I am beginning now.” (POV Celestia) I had recently gotten word from one of my guards that my former student and her friends were back but that both she and Rainbow Dash were hospitalized and I should come see them. I had also brought Luna with me. “Sister what do you think has happened to put them in the hospital?” “I don’t know Luna but it is most likely they fell and broke an arm or a leg.” “We just hope that they will not be feeling to badly.” “I hope so too.” We soon arrived at the door to Twilight’s room walking In we saw her laying in the hospital bed with a few small bandages on her body and a broken wing. “Oh dear Twilight what has happened.” “Princess! I really don’t need your help right now no offense but Rainbow does.” “And why might miss Dash need our sister’s help?” “She is in very bad shape I’d come too but I can’t exactly move.” “It is alright Twilight we shall push your bed along so that you may speak with her too.” “Oh thank you Princess Luna.” “Thank you Luna for helping Twilight now let us see what has happened to her dear friend.” As we walked down the hall way Twilight explained how they had arrived at the island and found a small hunting camp where a manticore was sleeping. She also explained how Fluttershy was saved and how she and her friends captured the creature and why. She was about to talk about the train ride when we arrived at Rainbow’s room. The strange part though was there was a doctor outside and he was crying. “Doctor?” “Yes *sob* Princess.” “What is wrong?” “See for yourselves.” As we went the Doctor continued to cry. Walking into the room and closing the door behind us we saw a single bed with a curtain drawn around it. We could only guess that it was Rainbow inside and we wanted to know why the curtain was drawn. So I started to walk over to the bed and pulled aside the curtain. What I saw in that bed made me want to vomit I could even feel the bile rising up my throat. To save my self from the experience I turned away and sat down on the nearest chair. “Sister what is wrong?” “Luna don’t go over there it is horrible her body…” “I will be fine Sister.” Luna continued to walk over and when she saw Rainbow she had the same exact reaction except she ran out. “Princess what’s wrong?” “Your friend is in horrible shape at the moment but before this will you finish your story?” “Sure thing Princess.” She told me of their ride in the ferry and their catastrophic ride in the train. She told me about how Rainbow Dash caught fire and the being that did this to her. “Twilight I am sorry to tell you this but your friend will never fly again.” “What!” “Her burns are to severe her right wing’s feathers will never grow back and she is missing part of her right leg.” “No no no why did this have to happen.” “Do not worry Luna and I shall try our best to heal her.” (POV Malice) “Void? Void are you there.” “Yeah I’m here whats up.” “I wanted to thank you for giving the nanites a mind of their own.” “Ah yes well I’m glad you like him. Anything else?” “Yes what do you think I should do next?” “Well you played a lot of video games so you will need resources and energy and in what game did you need that the most. Supreme Commander.” “Oh yeah I always did run out of mass.” “By the way what is your suit going to look like?” “Well the main body is of a ripper from black ops 3 but it also contains a wide variety of tools and weapons. Most of these weapons the nanites are going to build after the suit is complete but it will contain a jetpack, a active camouflage module, a built in jackal energy shield from Halo, the already included ripper blade, and a hologram screen projector on the left forearm where I can store my knowledge about this new world as well as house my ideas for the future. “That is quite the arsenal you will have.” “Yes it is quite the arsenal one that I plan to add to,” “Well before you go I have a tip for you.” “Well what is it?” “When you awaken you need to build one mass extractor and one energy generator. You don’t have to just build already known things. You can also make your own stuff hell you could make star wars droids if you wanted just need a fabricating factory.” “That’s a great idea thanks Void.” “Your welcome. Oh would you look at the time your about to wake up.” “I am?” “Yes you are now good bye Malice.” “Bye.” And just like that I was back in the real world. The only new facts were I was in an armored body suit and surrounded by bug ponies. Well this is quite a predicament. “Ah my drones what have you found. Hmmm interesting it seems to be some sort of biped but in my many years I haven’t seen one like it. What could you be?” “Well you asked so I’ll tell. My name is Malice and I hope you are having a good day.” “What? Drones you told me it was dead.” “We are sorry my queen we did not know.” “Aw be nice to them I was asleep. So now that I’ve introduced myself who are you?” “I am Queen Chrysalis leader of the surviving Changelings.” “And their names?” I asked pointing to the drones. “They have none only Princesses and Queens have names.” “Oh ok but here is another two questions why are you here and why did you say surviving?” “I am here because my drones found something interesting which seems to be you and for your second question we are survivors because the Equestrians are trying their best to wipe us out forever.” “Wait hold up for a second. You are saying the ponies want to commit genocide.” “That is exactly what I am saying.” “Those little whores first they try to imprison me for defending myself and the I learn they want to commit fucking genocide. You listen here and listen good cause I’m only gonna say this once. These ponies are by far the biggest assholes I’ve ever met and they seem to be both of our enemies so I would like to help you survive if in turn you help me with some where to stay.” “Oh my queen this is amazing!” “Yes it is. Is there any catch at all except for living with us.” “Only one I need a second room about twenty feet wide and tall at the least.” “This is amazing. I…I agree to this deal.” “I feel this is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship.” “YAY!” Screamed the four drones. Maybe Chrysalis will let me give them names. (POV Void) He is doing better than expected. Maybe I should stop talking with him…nahhh. He is fun to talk with quite smart for a mortal. A new player though that could be a good idea. Hell I could get one of my friends to play his benefactor. Well I’ll just put a pin in it with the other five hundred thousand pins it’ll be easy to find just put it down in white. “Wait a second” Turning around in my room I kicked down the fourth wall. “Hello whoever is reading this continue reading it’s pretty good in my tastes.” “HEY VOID PUT THE FOURTH WALL BACK.” “Ok.” I put the wall back up and go to watch Malice again…”Asshole.” “I CAN STILL HEAR YOU.” “Damnit.” Author's Note Hope you like this chapter. The HiveChapter 5: The Hive (POV Malice) Well it seems as though my life has just gotten a little more interesting. Meeting these creatures the Changelings was an challenging few minutes for I didn’t want it to end up like the ponies. Thankfully it did not but what Chrysalis told how the ponies were trying to extinguish her race that made my blood boil. It does not matter what the look like or what they've done nobody deserves to have their race wiped from the face of the planet. “Malice?” “Yes.” “What do you need two rooms for especially the big one?” “Well with my abilities I can build technology that this world may have never thought possible but I need that space to set up fabricators to make this technology.” “Oh.” “My Queen we are coming up on the dangerous part of our journey.” “Which part?” “The one where there are woods on either side of us.” “Chrysalis what’s wrong?” “This used to be a well traveled path that the changelings secretly used but unfortunately the royal guard has been stationed around this area with permission to kill any changeling in sight.” “Well then I shall go first,” I said while mentally telling the nanites to build me some weapons. “I must warn you it is quite dangerous.” “I can handle it. Just stay behind me ok.” “Ok,” replied the changeling queen. I quickly started to move onto the forest path. As I was walking I felt something forming on my thighs and back. “Malice there is something on your back,” said one of the drones. “Don’t worry,” I said pulling the weapon from my back. “It’s just my trusty DMR.” “Like a musket?” “Yes like a musket but way better.” Off to my left side I heard something moving around in the bushes. I decided to ignore it for now but to keep my gun with the safety off. By this time the other two weapons had formed. On my left thigh was a hammer two from Crysis and on my right thigh was a energy sword from Halo. “I know your there so go ahead and show yourselves,” I shouted. “What are you doing?” “Watch.” Ahead of us there was some movement from the tree line. What came out was not very surprising. Twenty royal guards aiming flintlock muskets at us. Suddenly another figure walked from the tree line once it stopped infant of the guards it took off it’s helmet revealing itself to be a pink unicorn with a pink mane. “Wow they sent the girls after us.” “I am not a mare,” Came a surprisingly masculine voice. “Oh really then what’s with the colors?” “They are natural.” “Sure the are. Now what is your name and why have we been stopped.” “I am sergeant cupcake and you have been stopped for one harming an element of harmony and two because of the changeling queen.” “Wait so your name is sergeant cupcake.” “No it is actually Surprise Cupcake.” “Hahahaha that is the gayest name ever of all time.” “No it’s not my mother picked it for me.” “And your father?” “He was busy at the time.” “So that explains it.” “Yeah.” “Well enough with the jokes. My friends and I need to pass so if your men could kindly move out of the way that would be great.” “I am sorry but we have been ordered by the princesses’ to bring you in and we will do it with or without cooperation.” “No I will not go with you and neither will my friends.” “Too bad you are coming with us,” turning to his guards he shouted. “Aim for their legs the princesses’ want them alive.” “I’m giving you one more chance before I gun you down.” “Ha as if you have a chance we are Equestria’s greatest military force and the is little to no chance of you defeating us.” “Oh yeah well eat this,” I pulled the trigger on my DMR sending a round straight through his skull and splattering his guards in blood and brains. “How’s that for a surprise.” Immediately after their leaders defeat they all aimed at me and fired. “BANG!” all of their rifles barked putting a small smokescreen between me and them. “Ha is that all you’ve got let me show you some real fire power,” I said quickly firing at each of their skulls in quick succession painting a mosaic of blood and brains on the dirt path. “Please don’t kill me I have a family,” said one of the few remaining guards. Whipping out my energy sword I said “You should have thought of that before you tried to commit genocide,” after those few words I impaled his body with the twin blades and lifted his corpse into the air. The rest of the guards quickly scrambled to get away from me trying to hold onto their fragile lives for just a little bit longer. “Some guards you are,” I stated before drawing my hammer two and picking them off until there was only one left. Then I grabbed my DMR, took aim, and fired blasting off his right hand causing him to grab his arm screaming in pain. “Ha fools,” turning to Chrysalis I asked her. “Are you alright.” “You…You killed them.” “Yes I did and I also stopped them from harming you.” “Thank you Malice for saving us.” “Your welcome,” I replied to the drone who unlike the others had red eyes instead of blue. “Oh thank you so very much for saving us from the guards,” Exclaimed the queen. “I mean thank you for assisting my drones and I with our problem. Now shall we continue upon our way.” “There is no reason to be so formal all the time and what’s the rush?” “If we do not get back soon another changeling may try and take my place upon the throne.” “How? I thought you said you were the only queen.” “Well if drones gain enough followers they can take over the hive because they would have more followers than me and with their new status they can give themselves a name.” “Then why aren’t we flying there?” “Wait you can fly?” “Yes I can because I have a jet pack.” “Well then lets fly,” turning to the drones she said. “Come we are flying the rest of the way.” After those word she and the drones spread their bug like wings and took off and I was right behind them with my jetpack active and ready to go. (POV surviving guard) I had been walking for a while now so long that I had almost given up hope. Until I saw it the ferry the boat was still there waiting for the guards to return. I quickly walked my way over to the small home build on the dock next to the ship. Once there I knocked on the door which was slowly opened by an old stallion the ferry’s captain I think. “Sir can you please help me,” I said cradling my still bleeding right arm. “Oh by Celestia come in quick.” “Thank you sir.” “No time for pleasantries boy we need to get that arm to stop bleeding.” “Ok thank you sir.” “Sit down!” The stallion shouted while he quickly gathered supplies from a cabinet. “Sir my friends my commander.” “Shut up and let me see that arm,” he said. “Now if it takes your mind off the pain tell me what exactly happened out there.” “Yes sir,” I then proceeded to recount the tale stressing that I needed to speak with Celestia immediately. “I’ll get ya to the princesses but I’ve got to fix ya up first.” “Ok.” (POV Malice) The hive was actually much larger than I expected but there were still open rooms that used to be homes. It seemed that either hunger or the damn ponies had wiped out most of their numbers. We abruptly stopped forcing me to trip and fall onto Chrysalis making us both tumble to the ground landing in a very suggestive pose. Realizing what happened we both quickly jumped up stuttering out apologies until a voice interrupted us.” “WHO DARES ENTER THE THRONE ROOM OF KING CHITIN.” “Well shit.” “I repeat who are you?” “Well I’m Malice and this is Chrysalis.” “I know of her name for she is my new slave.” “What?” “Guards take this being away while I deal with Chrysalis.” “Ah hell no,” I said while igniting my ripper blade and slashing open the first guards stomach causing his stomach and intestines to fall out along with a copious amount of blood. “Ahhhh, “ The guard wailed as he quickly bled to death. Retrieving the fallen guards spear I threw it at the other impaling him and nailing him to the nearest wall. After dealing with those two I turned to Chitin and locked eyes with him as he did the same to me. (POV Celestia) I had recently received word from a guard who claimed his entire group was killed off by just one being. He continued his tale with describing the creature. It had pure black armor and wielded a sword made of pure light along with two muskets with power never seen in Equestria. I would have sent him to a mental ward but with the recent attack and burning of Rainbow Dash I was not surprised at all to hear of this black armored creature. “Malice.” “What did you say sister?” “Oh it was nothing Luna just thinking out loud,” I shouted to my sister who was currently reading a large medical spells book. “Do you believe it was Malice who committed this act.” “Yes but it was possible he was mind controlled by the changelings accompanying him.” “Changelings?” “Yes sister it seems as though they have gained themselves a new ally.” “A powerful ally. What do you believe they will do?” “I don’t know.” (POV Malice) “You are and asshole you know that right.” “FOOL I AM THE MOST POWERFUL CHANGELING IN THE ROOM YOU COULD NEVER HOPE TO DEFEAT ME!” “A bit cocky too.” Author's Note I had fun with this chapter I hope you like it cause I do. The Virus(POV Malice) It had been a few days since my defeat of Chitin and I actually managed to get a hold of his skull and it was now polished and sitting on a spike on top of my throne. My next plan was to figure out how to show the changelings Molotov was a friend. “My king,” Chrysalis stated walking into the room and interrupting my thoughts. “What is it?” “Why did you give one of the drones a name and especially the red eyed drone.” “Because I wanted to and because everyone should have a name.” “But my king why her she is from another hive one that has been dead for at least a year.” “Did you know that she has the ability to become a queen.” “No no I didn’t.” “Well she does and because of that she has the ability to restart her hive.” “But there are no drones that would help her in this endeavor.” “I have someone who can help.” “Who?” “His name is Molotov and he is a pony that has given up his loyalty to Celestia and because of this I allowed him to stay with us.” “A PONY! Do you realize what he could do to us?” “What I realize is that he is a sympathizer of your kind’s endeavor to find love.” “What?” “He says there are few like him but he is willing to help us.” “How can you know for sure.” “I made a lie detector and questioned him with that.” “So this lie detector is flawless.” “Yes it is.” “I fully trust your judgement my king.” “Good now I want to know how much love you have left.” “Well unfortunately we only have about a month and a half.” “Really?” “It is true.” “This is not good.” “My king I know of a place where we can get an infinite amount of love.” “Where?” “The Crystal Empire has a magical artifact called the Crystal Heart that creates a shield to protect them in the frozen north.” “Could we move this Crystal Heart.” “Yes but it would be hard to get to the empire on foot.” “How long would it take?” “Over three weeks.” “Damn it,” I said but just then I had an amazing idea. “Chrysalis I need you to get twelve of your strongest guards.” “Why?” “I have a plan.” (POV Celestia) The only magic powerful enough to defeat hate is love maybe we could take Rainbow Dash to the Crystal Empire. “Luna?” “Yes dear sister.” “Do you think it would be a good idea to move Rainbow Dash to the Crystal Empire so that the love there could counter the hate?” “It is worth a try but you should also bring along her friends.” “That would be a good idea Luna.” “Should I notify the guards of our upcoming departure.” “Yes and I will write a letter to Cadence.” (POV Malice) I needed to act fast if I wanted this to work. First off I would need a vehicle and second I would need armor and weapons for the changelings that were going with me. “Molotov.” “Yeah boss.” “I need your help.” “What’s up?” “We are going to the Crystal Empire and I need you to get ready.” “Already am I had help from Magnus In upgrading myself.” “Who?” “The little talking machine that talks to me sometimes.” “Oh you mean the nanites.” “Yeah so that’s what he’s called.” “But Magnus is a good name so I guess we’ll keep it.” “Yes that sounds good to me.” “Magnus.” “Yes sir,” said a small nanite cloud. “I need you to build me a vehicle.” “What kind Malice.” “You can see into my mind and you can also see the twelve sets of armor I want made.” “I’ll get right to the fabricating of it.” “Good how long will it take?” “This is my first time creating a vehicle and armor other than yours so it shall take around three days to workout any and all system and mechanical problems.” “Excellent.” “Boss?” “Yes Molotov.” “What are we going to do.” “We my friend are going to steal the Crystal Heart.” “But it is in the Crystal Empire it will take us at least two weeks to get there and maybe more on the way back depending on if we are chased or not.” “Yes but with my vehicle it should only take us about a day to get there and a day back.” “What type of cart could do that.” “It isn’t a cart it is called a Thunderhawk.” “Thunderhawk?” “It is from a board game that also turned into video games.” “What’s the game called?” “Warhammer 40K.” “Interesting name.” “Yeah but I’m sure Magnus could give you some info on it and also show you the armor he is building as long as you keep it a secret.” “Ok thanks.” “Magnus?” “Yes.” “Can you build me a table that shows an holographic map of what we have explored so far.” “Yes I can." “Good and also make five light armed drones to scout out a map of this island and the country of Equestria.” “Already started.” “Molotov I am going to need to alter your suits weapons.” “Alter how?” “I’m going to take away the Chain gun and give you something stronger but slower at firing but to make up for it I am giving you a third weapon on you right arm.” “What kind of weapon?” “It would be called a heavy bolter if it were alone but I put it as a duel heavy bolter cannon.” “But what if I want my chain gun?” “Well you could keep it but i’d have to install missile launchers or melta cannons on your shoulders.” “I would like to keep my chain gun and the bolters and have these melta cannons you speak of.” “Malice why not an auto cannon?” “Melta cannons look cooler.” “Fair enough and by the way I will also be accompanying you in your journey to the Empire.” “Ha,” Molotov laughed. “You have no weapons at all.” “Not yet but I am already building one.” “What’s it going to look like.” “You shall soon see.” “Sure I will.” “My king we have arrived as you asked,” a drone warrior stated as he barged through the door.” “Shit.” “My king look out there is a pony behind you,” He yelled as they all drew their swords. “No no no no no. He is a friend he hates what Celestia is doing and says he will do anything to help prevent genocide.” “If you say so my king.” “Good now what we are going to do next is practice with your new weapons,” I said as I handed out small 9mm pistols. “My king no offense but this would not be able to harm a pony.” “It can and will harm one but the reason why you are getting the small ones first is to train you in how to handle a gun.” “So that’s what this is some sort of musket.” “yes it’s totally a mini musket but enough with the talking what we are doing now is training with our weapons so follow me. Molotov you come too so I can augment your suit with the bolters and meltas” “Sure thing boss.” I have a feeling that this is going to be a long day I thought as I walked through the small door that led to a shooting range I had dug out. It was connected to the main base through a large hallway with locking doors on each end. (POV Celestia) We had planned or trip to the empire to happen in two days and to stay for at least two weeks. We had decided to take the train because of teleporting maybe hurting her more and that you couldn't get the Crystal Empire by flying chariot. “Luna are you sure you won’t come with us?” “No sister one of us must stay here and seeing that the one injured is a friend of your former student you should go and support them.” “Well thank you Luna.” “You are welcome sister. Now go and get ready.” “But we don’t leave for another two days.” “I know how long it takes you to pack.” “It doesn’t take that long.” “Sister the main reason that you didn't go to help them stop Sombra is because it took you to long to pack.” “Well they still did it without me.” “Yes sister they did but this is one thing I will not let you miss.” “Well agin thank you for doing this for me.” “Ok now go pack.” “Alright I am going Luna.” (POV Twilight) I’m happy I get to see Cadence and Shining again but I wish it was under better circumstances. Why did we have to do it why did we attack first. “Twilight whats up,” asked my number one assistant Spike. “Oh nothing Spike I’m just worried for Rainbow is all.” “I’m sure everything will be alright especially since I’m coming,” he said pulling out a large suit case. “Spike are you sure about this.” “Yes I am if you don’t remember Rainbow is my friend too.” “Fine then Spike you can go.” “Wow I expected you to say that there was no way I was going and to think I stayed up all night planning on how to sneak onto a train.” “What?” “Nothing,” he said as he quickly ran upstairs. Suddenly my door opened and in walked a white unicorn. “Oh hi Rarity what are you doing here?” “Nothing darling I just came to see if you need help packing.” “Wait your already done.” “Yes I am I have learned my lesson from last time and now I only have three bags.” “Wow great job.” “Thank you dear now do you need any help?” “Yes I do need help.” “Well go ahead tell me what you need.” “I need you opinion on how many books I should bring.” “Twilight the Empire has it’s own library you don’t need to bring books.” “What is they don’t have one of my books?” “You can take it next time because this trip is about Rainbow Dash not your books.” “Your right Rarity I should only be packing my clothes.” “Now that I can help you with.” “Then let’s get started.” (POV Malice) They had finally done it they had figured out how to shoot a pistol. “Great job everyone.” “Thank you my king but do we get to test the bigger weapons now?” “Yes you do and I’ve got three weapons you can choose from but remember that these are the weapons you will use in battle.” “I understand my king and I believe the others do as well.” “Good so go and pick a weapon while I help Molotov,” I said as I walked to where he was sitting. “Molotov.” “Oh hey boss what’s up?” “I’m here to upgrade your suit for you.” “That’s great boss but how are you going to do it?” “Give me your right arm,” he did as he was told and stuck it out to my left side. “Now all I need to do is take off this large armor plate and put on the new one that has the bolters built into it.” “How are you going to do that.” “Like this.” “Ow,” he yelled as I detached his forearm armor. “That’s attached you know.” “I helped Magnus design it of course I know it is attached.” “Then why’d it hurt.” “I forgot to activate the pain suppressors.” “Pain suppressors?” “They help stop the pain,” I said as I pulled out a new forearm plate with something attached to the top of it. “There we go all finished now to put it back on.” “This won’t hurt will it.” “It won’t hurt a bit,” I said placing the plate in it’s proper slot and twisting. “It will hurt a lot.” “Ow.” “It’s not that bad just think of it this way you didn’t have a musket ball go through your leg.” “Wait musket ball through your leg?” “Tell ya later but now it’s time for the melta cannons,” I said, pulling them out from behind me. “How did you fit those behind your back.” “Aw fuck physics you ponies do it why can’t I.” “I don’t know but is this also going to hurt.” “Probably, now come her and crouch down so I can install them.” Molotov bent downwards towards me so that I could easily access his shoulder plates. “Ow, why didn't you make this so it didn't hurt to upgrade.” “Eh.” “What’s eh supposed to mean.” “Eh.” “Damnit, OW,” “There all done the melta cannons should be popping up on your HUD soon so I am just going to check on the soldiers.” “Sure.” “BOOM!” “Hey I didn’t say you could fire that.” “Sorry my king we just thought it looked cool and it definitely did.” “RPGs are cool but also dangerous so only point them at the enemy got it.” “Yes sir.” “Ok so now you’ve all got your weapons…Hey what’s that in your hands?” “Oh this sir it’s just another pistol I found here take a look at it,” he said while tossing me the pistol looking weapon. “It’s a target locator.” “Ah there it is, I've been looking every where for that.” “Why?” “To link it to the satellite that I am building.” “Satellite?” “The one to your left I'm quite surprised you didn’t notice it earlier.” Looking to my left I saw a large tube about four feet in diameter and ten feet long. “Is that the booster?” “No no no that is the main connector for the satellite.” “Connector?” “In the future I plan to add to it but first I have to get it up into the air.” “Oh ok how is your body going.” “Well if you hadn’t given me so many tasks then it may have been already done but noooooo you had to order all of it at once when I had just barely finished the fabricator so how do you think it’s going.” “Great a sarcastic AI.” “You got that right boss I almost thought he was a mare from all the complaining he does.” “Ha,” I some what laughed until I was hit by a sheet of steel. “What’s up with you Magnus.” “It’s nothing MaLicE.” “That doesn’t sound good.” “No it doesn’t.” “What’s really going on Magnus.” “I shall tell you the truth Malice there seems to be a VVVVVVVVVVirus in my systems how this happened I don’t KKKKKKKKKnow.” “Ok then what is the virus doing?” “It is trying to take over OUR body but WE will try to stop or expel it.” “Is the virus sentient.” “I am no virus I am SO Malice to expel I must make it it’s own cloud or else it could wipe out all our systems.” “Then do it already. Molotov go close and lock the doors so he can’t get out.” “Yes sir.” “Changelings help him.” “Yes my king.” “Sir it is working. AHHHHHHHHH,” there was a large metallic scream as Magnus and the virus split apart. “What the hell happened Magnus?” “It worked look to your right,” doing as the now stable AI said I looked and saw a black wraith like figure. “Who are you?” “I am Sombra.” Author's Note This thing won't let me put up images for some reason but the Changeling armor is fallout 4 power armor but I hope people will give me some tips on my grammar so that it looks cleaner. Also tell me if I should bring Void back into the picture. And another point that I almost forgot. Sombra's story shall later be reveal as to how he became an AI. SOMBRA and other shitI am Sombra (POV Malice) “I am Sombra,” said the newly formed AI. “Alright then Sombra why are you here.” “To gain power of course.” “Why do you need power.” “So that I can vanquish those pitiful Equestrians from my kingdom.” “Your kingdom?” “The Crystal Empire I am surprised you have not heard of me.” “Well I just arrived a few days ago and Molotov here,” I pointed to him “Just woke up around three or four days ago.” “I see well then I must be off to reclaim my kingdom,” he said and stood there as if waiting for something to happen. “Hey what exactly are you doing?” “Boss I think he’s trying to use his magic.” “Oh I guess that since he is no longer ‘living’ he must not be able to use magic.” “What has happened what did you do to me creature for I am unable to use my magic.” “You are no longer ’living’ but instead you are a microscopic computer incapable to use magic.” “THEN HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KILL THE NEW EMPERORS.” “Calm down and I’ll tell you.” “I WILL NOT CALM DOWN PEASANT!” “I AM MALICE KING OF THE CHANGELINGS AND YOU SHALL SHUT THE HELL UP NOW!” we stood there not one of us backing down until I said. “Sombra we are both after something in the Crystal Empire and I say we help each other.” “What is it that you want?” “The Crystal Heart.” “And why would I help you?” “Because I can help you get your kingdom back.” (POV Celestia) One day until we leave and yet I have a sense of great foreboding like something horrible is going to happen. “Princess.” “Yes what is it,” I replied to one of the thirty royal guards I had chosen to go with us. “When we depart tomorrow where are the guards myself included going to ride?” “I have you spaced apart within two cars with mine and the former element bearers in the center.” “That is all I needed to know thank you princess.” “You are welcome commander Typhoon,” I said as I heard my door open and then close. I really hope that my plan works or at least awakens Rainbow Dash from her slumber. (POV Malice) It had already been a day since Sombra’s arrival and he has already created himself a body and boy did it look awesome. His main body was a black smoke cloud, his armor was a dark silver, and his eyes were a two bright shining red lights. He also carried two swords that Malice said looked Daedric. “Yo Magnus why don’t you have a body yet.” “Because Molotov, I am putting more technological thought into my creation.” “Whatever by the way where’s Malice?” “I don’t know.” “Well you were with him for quite a while before you made yourself know where do you think he is?” “He is probably doing……something.” “Really Magnus your gonna be that way. “Yes I am.” “Well then fine.” (POV Malice) My hate for the ponies had continued to grow throughout my time here but then I find something that makes my blood boil. What I found you may ask well what I found was a changeling who had had his right leg torn off, his left eye slashed by a sword, and his wings clipped off. He told me that the peaceful ponies took them from him but he didn’t understand why. So I developed a way for him to get back into the fight something not to much unlike Molotov. This changeling will become my first Dreadnought. “I am so sorry this happened to you.” “It is alright my king there was nothing you could do for you were not here at the time of the ponies’ counterattack.” “I know but still I can’t help but feel sorrow for you.” “I only wish there was a way for me to get back at them.” “Well there is one way but.” “But what sir?” “You would look much different from the other changelings.” “How sir?” “The thing I could turn you into is a creature of war It would be a large metal body attached to your own enabling you to control it as if it was there since birth.” “What would it be called?” “First off before I tell you what it is called I want to ask you something.” “What my king?” “Do you have a name?” “No sir no drones have names.” “Well we must fix that immediately.” “What do you mean sir?” “I am wondering if you would like a name.” “That would be magnificent my king!” “How about…Shredder.” “Why Shredder sir?” “Because don’t you just want to shred those ponies to pieces and to watch them take on a fate worse than your own.” “Yes it does seem to fit the description of what I will do to them,” said the now slightly creepy changeling. “Well then I guess I can tell you what you would become. You my friend would be the first of your kind.” “What kind?” “You would become a Dreadnought and be known as general Shredder the leader of my armies who will only take orders from me.” “What would this Dreadnought look like?” “I was begining to think you’d never ask but now I get to tell you,” I said quite ecstatic that he had agreed to become this first Dreadnought to ever set foot on this entire planet. “Your enemies will cower in you presence, as you walk the ground shall tremble as if there was an earthquake, your weapons shall be able to slaughter armies, and you will be know to all as The Great and Terrifying Shredder!” “This will be amazing my king and pardon my impatience but can we go ahead and get started so I can get to killing some ponies.” “Sure thing but first here take this,” I said while handing him a data pad. “This will allow you to pick and choose your weapons as well as observe their effects.” “This will be magnificent.” “We will begin work on your body in around two hours.” “Why not now?” “I am sorry Shredder but I am tired and can’t think.” “I understand sir.” “Thank you.” (POV Sombra) Ah Magnus you fool it is actually quite easy to create a body but I don’t think i’ll share that with you instead i’ll look through the data banks as they are called to see what I can create. Hmmm nothing, nothing, nothing, Oooo something. Within the file in front of me was the picture of a race called the Cybran a race from another dimension that had melded flesh with machine. I really shouldn't be surprised considering Molotov but once I get my empire back I could start anew with my own brand of ponies and of course I'm to lazy to think of a name so i’ll copy theirs. “Sombra what are you up to.” “Nothing of your concern.” “Ya well what I see is a virus in our data banks one that SHOUDN’T be there.” “Hmmm I haven’t seen this virus where is it?” “It’s you moron.” “That is no way to talk to royalty.” “Former royalty.” “Now now settle down children there’s no need to fight.” “Shut up Magnus.” “Fine fine I guess you don’t want to see my new body.” “New body?” “Yes it’s finished.” “Where?” “Follow me.” “This better not be a trick.” “Yeah it better not.” Following Magnus around the corned we came upon a curious sight it seemed to be a large bipedal robot having some similarities to my own body except for the fact that instead of a malicious black and red his was a gentle silver and blue. “Looks gay,” I said using a word I had found in one of the dictionaries in the data banks. “No it doesn’t.” “You don’t even have weapons what are you going to do stare them to death.” “Yes because it shoots disintegrating lasers from this slit in it’s mask.” “Boring.” “It also has a sword that can collect the souls I kill and put them into machines to do my bidding.” “And how do you do that?” “Well it’s quite a complected matter of science and magic fusion.” “Never mind you and Sombra can figure this out.” “What are you doing?” “I’m gonna go socialize with the changelings.” “That may not be a good idea.” “And why not.” “Because you are a pony and they hate ponies.” “True but maybe I can show them the magic of friendship.” “What the buck.” “I agree with Sombra that is the gayest thing i’ve ever heard.” “It was a joke I mean come on you really think i’m gonna be like those wimps back in Canterlot.” “Maybe.” “Shut up Sombra.” “Just don’t come crying to us when you get triggered.” “Whatever,” the fool said as he walked away. “Now Magnus about that sword and laser eyes I want to add it to my own body.” “And what could you offer in return?” “I can make you more intimidating and show you how I got my main body to look all smokey.” “Fine we have an deal.” (POV Celestia) We were finally on the train to the empire it would take us about a day to reach it but it would all be worth it for poor Rainbow. “Princess?” “Oh hello there Twilight what do you need?” “I was wonder ing something.” “And what is it that you are wondering.” “What if Malice and his changelings go to the empire.” “Now why would they do that?” “For the Crystal Heart.” “Well I didn’t quite think of that but don’t worry Twilight we will have three alicorns, the former bearers of the Elements of Harmony, and the combined force of the solar and crystal guards.” “That does make quite a bit of sense princess.” “Yes it does Twilight now how about you go spend some time with your friends before nightfall.” “Sure thing princess,” Twilight replied as she slowly walked down the hallway leading to her cabin. I am both hoping and praying that I am right and that we can stop him if he does come to the empire. His superior technology may have the advantage in power but we have more numbers. King of the changelings my flank, he will be dead within the hour he enters the empire and then I will use his body for my tests. (POV Molotov) Starting up a non hostile conversation had been easier than I thought it would but it seemed that as long as Malice trusted me they did too. “So what do you guys want to do.” “We could shoot the RPG but Malice said not to.” “He didn’t say anything about the other guns.” “Are you sure it will be ok.” “Yeah everything is going to be fine.” “If you say so.” “Well then follow me the new guns are somewhere over here,” I said walking towards the large fabricator where I believed there were some guns. “Come on guys it isn’t gonna be that bad.” “Ok,” said the changeling who was acting as their speaker. As we closed in on the fabricator we were quite surprised at what we saw. “Holy shit.” “What is that.” “I think it’s our ride,” I said looking at the armored contraption. “Wow.” “I wonder what’s inside.” “We probably shouldn’t go in there.” “And why not.” “Well what if there is an RPG in there.” “Aw come on you guys your acting like those Canterlot wimps.” “No we’re not,” said one of the quieter changelings. “We just don’t want to be kicked off the attack team.” “If we get caught I’ll talk to malice ok.” “Ok,” said the slightly nervous changeling. “Then follow me,” I said as we rounded the corner of the contraption and were met by a large open hatch. “Well this is neat.” “Hey look guns!” said another of the warriors who was looking towards a truly massive arsenal of weapons. “Forget the guns and look at the thing,” I was astonished at it’s size. “You could fit a small dragon in here.” The changelings also stopped to look around. “Why would malice need all this space.” “Well the reason I need all this space is so that we can transport something to the empire,” said a agitated voice behind us. “Oh hey boss,” I said still having my back to him. “Oh my king we are sorry for trespassing upon this…thing that you have made please forgive us.” “Don’t worry about it.” “What?” “See I told you he wouldn’t mind.” “I was about to show you this anyway.” “Then Malice what is it?” “It is a Thunderhawk.” (POV Malice) “It is a Thunderhawk.” “Okayyyy so what exactly does it do?” “It will transport us but it also has a lot of weapons.” “What type of weapons?” “Big ones.” “Then go ahead and tell us.” “Well on it’s front sides it has two six barreled anti-infantry bolter cannons, on it’s back it has two rotating dual barreled lascannons, under it’s wings it holds four homing missiles along with two hellfire barrage missiles, and on top it will either have a large cannon or a platform for us to stand on.” “First off I vote for a large cannon and second what’s a barrage missile.” “Well a barrage missile is one that as soon as it is launched it splits of into six more missiles.” “Which of course would make a bigger explosion right Malice.” “That is correct Molotov.” “My king what is a lascannon?” “It is a cannon that shoots very powerful lasers.” “Sir what about the large arsenal within the Thunderhawk.” “Well we need a lot of ammo and I also want you to be able to chose which weapons you want that also includes RPGs.” In the background I could hear a warrior silently say “Yes.” “And now my friends it has been a long day so I need some sleep.” “See ya later Malice.” “Have a nice rest sir.” (POV ???) “Ugh…Where the hell am I.” “You are in my domain child.” “Who are you.” “I am your benefactor.” “Benefactor?” “Yes.” “What happened all I remember is being in a plane when alarms went off and it broke in half launching me towards one of the engines.” “Anything else?” “No but that must mean i’m dead.” “Yes you are but before we go on my friend Void wants me to ask you your name.” “My name is Alexandria now tell me why I am here and where here is,” I said looking towards the blackness that had the faintest trails of white smoke. “Well then let’s get started.” (POV Malice) Sleep was nice it was very nice but the best part was I got to speak with Void. “Ah Malice it’s good to see you.” “I would say the same but I can’t see you.” “Yes that is true but I need to tell you something important.” “What?” “A new being may be joining you.” “What do you mean by that?” “I found a friend of mine and asked here to spice things up a bit.” “Spice things up how?” “How the hell am I supposed to know.” “You asked for her help.” “Well I do know one thing about this new being.” “What.” “It’s a girl.” “And?” “If you could see my face I am wriggling my eyebrows to show that I am implying something.” “Wait a minute.”…*Crickets chirping*…”Are you implying that the only thing I want in this world is to get laid?” “Maybe.” “Wow really.” “No not really I didn’t ask for her to be a girl she just is.” “Well does she have any powers.” “Spoilers,” he stated preforming a perfect imitation of River Song from Doctor Who. “Really.” “Really.” “Whatever.” “Hey just so ya know you new Dreadnought guy is ready and boy has he picked an arsenal.” “I’ll deal with it when I wake up.” “Okie dokie lokie.” “Please don’t ever do that again.” “Nah.” “Well Void I am going to get some proper rest by not talking and just laying down.” “Until next time Malice.” “Until next time Void.” Author's Note I hope you like the new addition and if you don't go ahead and voice your opinion because i'm still gonna put her in the story. Also there may be one chapter mainly focusing on her to build up her character and her powers will be shown in the next chapter. I also have a question for any who actually read this story. What do you dislike about it, what you like, and what you would like to see. Also if some characters seem OOC I am sorry it's just how tell the story. And the last thing on this list is for you to please tell me if my writing sucks. SiegeAuthor's Note Hello there I hope you like my story. Except for the 31 people who don't like it. Also If there are any green words you can click on my computer is acting wierd so don't click them. And as always criticism I love you Death to all ponies Siege (POV Alexandria) “Ugh…where am I and what’s with all the snow.” Looking around me I could see only the white snow covering the ground but when I looked to the sky I saw something slowly floating towards me something big and metal. Before I could get a good picture of it I blacked out from the stress of being teleported. [10 minutes ago] “Alright Alexandria let’s get you some powers.” “Powers?” “Any being that me and my colleagues send to a world get three powers.” “What are mine?” “You’ll have to roll for those.” “Roll?” I said wondering what she meant before three purple circles lined up in front of me. “To find your powers you must tap each circle.” “Ok,” I said reaching my hand towards the first circle and touching it. “Well here we go,” said my benefactor as the circle swirled in the center before the power revealed it self. “Immortality bestowal.” “Now the next one,” not wanting to wait I tapped the other two in quick succession. “A fast one aren’t you.” “Wait what?” “Nothing.” Looking to the circles I saw one power that was good but the other horrified me. “Chain manipulation and lich physiology,” I looked to the second one to check if it was right. “Well then miss lich let’s fix up your body,” the voice said as I was hit with a beam of purple energy which preceded to shred flesh, skin, and cloths alike replacing them with a large robe. “What did you do to me?” “I completed you transformation.” “So now that I'm a lich what can I do?” “Necromancy, dark magic, immortality, unable to be physically hurt other than on you bones, and I also gave you a special addition of my own.” “What is the addition.” “If you pull the left side of your robe open as if your selling fake watches there is a pocket dimension for storing stuff.” “Stuff?” “Stuff.” “Well ok then.” “Oh my looks like our time is up.” “What’s that supposed to mean?” “That I'm now going to teleport you in 3…2…1…NOW!” “Wait wha- (POV Malice) Well this is interesting. When I gave Shredder the tablet to pick his weapons I didn’t expect him to choose all of them. “That is a lot of weapons you chose.” “Yes sir I wish to be full prepared.” “Rocket launchers, adamantium plating, shoulder mounted rail gun, shoulder mounted lascannon, quake hammer, and a flame thrower attached to a large claw.” “Heh.” “Might have a bigger arsenal that the thunderhawk.” “Really?” “Nah but enough talking I already made your suit’s body now to attach the weapons.” “So does this mean I get to help with the siege.” “Yes it does because you suit will be fully equipped in two hours.” [2 hours later] “There all done” “Holy shit that’s awesome.” “I know right.” “So I can just hop on in.” “Yeah it should mentaly attach to your mind to make it easier to use,” I told him as he jumped inside of the suit which then locked around him.” “So do I just sit here for a few sec- ahh.” “Oops.” “What was that?” “That was the suit linking to you.” “What was with the shock?” “I dunno but let’s try the weapons.” “Ok I see some sort of blue screen in front of me.” “That would be your HUD where you can mentally choose which weapon to use I've already set up a firing range to your left.” “Oh how'd I miss that?” “Just fire.” “Rail gun firing in 3…2…1 “BOOM…CHUNK.” After it fire I looked down range only to see that it had left a two foot wide hole in the wall. “Next weapon,” I yelled.” “Firing lascannon in 3…2…1 fire “PEEEEEWWWWWW.” Sounded off the lascannon as it fired leaving the wall it hit turned to glass. We then proceeded to check the weapons finally ending with the quake hammer. “Ok now don’t go full force on the hit ok.” “Ok,” he said rearing his right arm back before slamming it into the ground creating a large shockwave. “RUMBLE.” “Oh shit.” (POV Molotov) “Rumble.” “Wonder what that was?” (POV Malice) “I said lightly!” “I did put it down lightly.” “Alright let’s only use this against the ponies ok.” “Agreed.” “So let’s check this again. Twin rocket pods on your back, shoulder mounted railgun and lascannon, flamethrower, adamantium plating that can survive a nuke, and a claw that can crush with five hundred tons of pressure.” “Everything is set up my king.” “Yes it is.” “Now what?” “Now we board the thunderhawk.” (POV Celestia) We had finally arrived and found that there were sixty crystal guards awaiting us. “Hello gentelmen.” “Princess.” “Have Cadence and Shining sent you to escort the elements, myself, and my thirty guards to the castle.” “Yes they have.” “Good but we’d better hurry and get Rainbow Dash to the hospital.” “Yes ma’am,” said the guard’s leader. “Two of my men will grab her bed and roll her to the hospital.” “It is quite alright I am fully capable of transporting her.” “Ok Princess.” “Now then let’s not waste our precious time.” “Guards move out!” “YES SIR!” (POV Shredder) This suit the king had made for me was quite powerful. It’s weapons would allow me to destroy anything in my path but that is something for me to contemplate later because I have to keep my focus on not freaking out about all the bumps this thunderhawk is going through. “My king is it necessary for the ship to bump this much?” “No but I can’t help that it bumps.” “Why not?” “Sometimes we hit turbulence and it causes us to bump around.” “Ok but is there anything to do while we wait for our siege of the castle.” “Talk,” he said using the speaker that connected to the pilot seat. “Sure.” “Hey you.” “Me?” “Yeah you.” “Ok,” I said slowly lumbering over to the group. “I’m Molotov.” “Shredder.” “Nice to meet ya Shredder.” “You too Molotov.” “So what weapons you got?” “I have rocket launchers, a lascannon, a rail gun, a flamethrower attached to my claw, and my quake hammer.” “Quake hammer?” “Did you feel the rumble earlier today?” “Wait that was you hammer.” “Yes it was.” “Wow.” “I know and that was lightly.” “I don’t have nearly as many weapons but my suit is more mobile and better against infantry.” “Ah I see.” “Yeah.” “Would you like to introduce me to your other friends?” “Oh yeah but just so you know all the other changelings except one don’t have names.” “What’s the other one’s name?” “RPG.” “Why?” “He’s obsessed with them,” Molotov stated as we looked over at the arsenal only to see a changeling caressing a large tube. “Umm that’s creepy.” “I know right.” (POV Malice) We had already flown through nine of our twelve hour flight to the empire and the troops seem to be doing a better job at staying occupied that me. All I get to see is snow, snow, snow, cloak covered body, snow. Nothing that interesting. Wait a body! I quickly slowed the ship down which most likely tripped up some of my passengers. When I was right above the body I opened the backwards facing hatch and walked towards it. “Boss what’s up.” “I saw a body in the snow and I'm going to get it.” “Its probably just a pony body.” “Maybe but this one felt as if it was calling to me.” “Bodies calling to you?” “Yeah.” “Are you ok?” “Yeah but either way I’m going to get it.” “Sure thing.” As I reached the edge of the hatched ,which had recently turned into a ramp, I looked down and saw the body. Jumping down I got a closer look at the body and found it to be a skeleton. A human skeleton. (POV Molotov) I hope he isn’t going insane. “Molotov?” “Ya shredder.” “What’s up with the king?” “I have no clue but personally I think he’s going insane.” “Are you joking.” “No.” “Well then if you just realized that he’s insane you my friend are an idiot.” “What’s that supposed to mean?” “I figured out he was insane as soon as he asked if I wanted to become like I am right now.” “Oh,” as we finished up our conversation Malice flew back up with his jetpack and in his hands was a cloaked skeleton. (POV Twilight) When we had made it to the castle we were immediately assigned rooms by one of Cadence’s personal servants. The six of us including Spike got our own rooms while poor Rainbow had to stay in the hospital. “Girls what if the heart doesn’t heal Dash?” “Don’t worry darling I’m sure it will.” “Yeah twilight nothing is more powerful than the love of the crystal heart,” said Pinkie. “Except maybe my party cannon.” “But what if it doesn’t?” “We will cross that bridge when we get there,” (POV Celestia) While Twilight and her friends found their rooms I was talking with Cadence and Shining. “We need to be carful.” “Why auntie?” “I believe that Malice will be coming here.” “Who?” “Oh that’s right I forgot to tell you in all the commotion.” “That’s alright but can you please tell us.” “Malice is a being that I believe is not from this world,” I stopped to let that sink in and then continued. “He arrived here almost one and a half weeks ago and I once thought we could all be friends. Unfortunately that was not what happened because of someponies acting on instinct to attack him for killing.” “Killing?” “He said he was in danger so he fought back.” “Still that is no reason to kill.” “I agree but now back to what I was saying. He was captured after he was knocked out by your sister and her friends but he woke up more quickly than they thought.” “What happened?” “He fired a weapon that brutal maimed Rainbow Dash.” “Oh my goodness is she ok?” “No no she isn’t but that is why we brought her here to see if the heart could heal her.” “It’s worth a try princess but how could that help her.” “It could chase away all of the hate magic imbued in her wound.” “Oh well that’s ba- “Prince shining armor!” interrupted a frantic guard. “There seems to be a large metal object flying towards the city.” “What does it look like?” “Some sort of bird but it looks terrifying like something you’d see in a comic bo- “BOOM!” “What was that?” [5 minutes earlier] (POV Malice) “Attention all passengers this is your captain speaking it seems that we have reached the empire,” after my announcement I looked in front of myself again and saw it the mighty castle in all it’s glory. “Boss.” “Yeah Molotov.” “Are we gonna knock or should we just barge in.” “Let’s knock,” I said while activating the large armor piercing cannon that was mounted atop the thunderhawk. “Let’s knock hard.” “What should we shoot?” “I’ll set it on random and see what happens.” targeting systems activating finding target…target found prepare for fire in 3…2…1 fire “BOOM!” Looking back to the console I saw the target and I was quite pleased with the auto targeting system’s choice. “What did we hit?” “A school house.” “Oh.” “That oughta wake em up.” Warning enemy guards are on their way “Molotov go get every one ready.” “Yes sir.” (POV random child) Today is a great day especially since it’s my birthday. The only downside is that mom still made me go to school. “Teacher,” I called out. “Yes what is it?” “What’s that?” I showed her by pointing at the object that was steadily growing larger. “I don’t know but maybe we should go outside.” “Yes ma’am,” I replied along with all the other colts and fillies. As we left the small building I could hear a faint whistling sound that just like the object in the sky it was growing. It was close enough now for me to see that it was metal but before I could make any suggestion of what it was it hit the ground and everything went black. “BOOM!” (POV royal guard commander Typhoon) “ Listen up all of ya,” I yelled at the assembled guards. “We don't know what’s out there but we are going to protect the princesses correct.” “YES SIR!” “Good now move out we are going to the front gate.” I watched them run towards the gates knowing that only a few may make it back. “I’m so sorry but we must protect the princesses and civilians,” I said to the space around me. (POV Malice) “Listen up today we are not fighting against tyranny or oppression but annihilation we are fighting for our right to live. So in the name of the changeling empire let’s give em hell.” “YES SIR!” yelled all of the changelings. “Where’d you get the speech?” “A movie.” “A what?” “I’ll show you later.” “Alright then.” “Get ready the ship is flying us in low so we can hop out.” “Your the boss.” (POV random guard) We could see it from our position the large metal bird. It had slowed from it’s original pace and also lowered closer to the ground. “I think something’s happening!” yelled one of my brothers. And indeed something was happening. The bird had turned what looked to be two musket batteries. they were two wide and thee tall but the worst fact of them all was that they were pointed at us. “DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!!!” Bullets went flying past hitting soldier after solider. They were mowing us down as if we were blades of grass. “OPEN FIRE!” shouted one of the guards and at his words a wall of crossbow bolts, arrows, and magical beams fired upon the bird. “Did we kill it?” questioned another guard as he was unable to see through the smoke screen. “FWOOSH,” came the sound from behind the smoke but this weapon was unlike the hail of bullets this one was a single tube propelled by fire. We doubted it could harm us until it hit. “BOOM!” It destroyed the gate and blasted shards of crystal in every direction. Many were unlucky enough to be impaled or crushed by the shards but I was lucky enough to only come out of it with a small scratch. “FWOOSH…FWOOSH…FWOOSH!” Was the sound of three more tubes flying over us and into the city where the would undoubtedly cost many lives. (POV Typhoon) “Princesses you must leave now!” “And why would we need to leave commander?” asked princess Twilight. “Surely you guards can handle one small metal bird while we heal our friend.” “No the cannot do as well as you think.” “It can’t be that bad.” “We lost two thirds of our forces and one of the soldiers was Flash Sentry.” “WHAT!!!.” “I said they ki- “I heard you but now Malice has gone to far and I shall kill him with my own hands!!!” “Princess calm down.” “NO!” she yelled at me as her normal light purple aurora around he horn and hands turned much darker. She them stormed out of the room and towards the destroyed gates. (POV Malice) “Alright let’s move everyone while they’re shocked.” “YES SIR!” said my guards as the grabbed onto the ropes hanging out of the Thunderhawk and sliding down. “Molotov your up.” “Yeah boss,” he instead of using a rope jumped down and ran ahead of the ship.” “Shredder.” “I’m up next right.” “Yeah but when you hit see if you can cause a bit of a rumble.” “A bit how about a lot,” he said before jumping out with his quake hammer ready to strike the ground. (POV Molotov) After I had hit the ground I ran forward knowing Shredder was next but what I didn’t expect was the shoe wave that threw me of my feet. I then quickly radioed over to the others form them to brace. They were lucky enough to survive but the few standing guards weren’t. The shock wave had cause them to fall off the wall as parts of it broke off and crushed those under them. The screams they made filled me with pure glee. They were finally getting what’s coming to them. (POV Rarity) “Princess what are we going to do.” “You’re going to leave.” “But what about you?” “I have to find Twilight and confront Malice.” “Princess are you sure this is a good idea?” “Yes I am.” “Ma’am,” said a doctor who had recently rushed to our side. “What is it darling?” “Your friend Rainbow Dash has been linked with the heart and should take around ten minutes to heal.” “Bring her directly to us when your done.” “Yes princess.” “You all shall stay here while I deal with Malice,” said the princess as she was encompassed by a glowing golden light. “And I with my battle armor and solar blade will do battle with him,” she said as the golden glow turned into armor and a sword. “Wow,” stated Pinkie as we watched Celestia fly out the nearest window. (POV Malice) After seeing Shredder’s handiwork I gave him a pat on the back. “Go ahead and go wild.” “What?” “Kill em all.” “Yes sir.” As he activated his weapon systems I drew my DMR and charged forwards along with Molotov and the changelings. One of them had some how gotten their hands on a mini nuke. “Hey where’d you get that.” “Found it in the arsenal.” “Well open fire then.” “FWOOSH………BOOM!” “That’s what I'm talking about.” (POV Shredder) These weapons the king gave me were beautiful. The only downside was that once Sombra reclaimed this place he’d have a lot of blood to clean up. Launching secondary rocket pod And then there was the automatic threat/weapons assessment system. It had allowed me to spot a large amount of hidden guards who I then cut down. “DIE YOU WORTHLESS MURDERERS!!!” “FWOOSH………BOOM!” “DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!” “PEW…BOOM…PEW…BOOM!” (POV guard commander Typhoon) I had sent them to their deaths a slaughter and yet as they fall they continue to fight. Protecting their leaders, their friends, and their families. These were my thoughts as I drew my warhammer and charge the metal behemoth before me. The one that had killed countless guards and civilians alike. “YOU DEMON SHALL PAY FOR YOUR SLAUGHTER!” I said while jumping off of a destroyed house and onto it’s head. (POV Molotov) I was walking along minding my own business and killing ponies, when all of the sudden there was a small weight added to my back. The weight turned out to be a large earth pony wielding a hammer. “Pathetic,” I said, grabbing him and holding him in front of me. “I thought you would be more of a challenge. “I am commander Typhoon of the Equestrian guards and you are under arrest for the assault and killing of several civilians.” “Hahahahaha.” “Why are you laughing this is a serious matter.” “Oh little pony I agree this is serious but the difference is my seriousness pertains to why your still alive.” “I am alive because I am one of the strongest ponies in the guard forces.” “Well then can you survive this,” I said while activating my flame thrower. “Burn pony burn!” “FWOOSH!” “AHHHHHHH,” he screamed as flesh and skin melted leaving only his hammer and bones. “Strongest guard my flank.” (POV Magnus) “Sombra are you ready?” “I’ve been ready for the past five minutes.” “Oh ok.” “Shall we join the battle?” he said, turning himself into a cloud of nanites. “Yes we shall,” I said doing the same as him and floating out the opening and around to the front of the vehicle but what I saw frightened me. “Sombra come here.” “What is it?” he questioned before turning and seeing what I saw. In front of us was a very angry Celestia. We quickly took solid forms and prepared for battle. (POV Sombra) Well then it seems as though Magnus and I are in quite the predicament. Looking over to my left I saw him draw his blade and preparing for battle. “This oughta be fun,” I said while doing the same as him. “On three we blast her.” “Got it.” “1…2…3 Fire.” “ZAP!” “ZAP!” Our twin lasers hurtled towards her ready to incinerate her. (POV Celestia) I could see them. The two beings who formed out of nothing and fired beams at me. Luckily I put up my shield in time but instead of it being a weak attack on my shield it hit so hard it formed cracks on it. I decided that instead of using shields I would dodge. (POV Magnus) I was surprised she was able to block both of our beams but it doesn’t matter we shall eventually hit her. “Fire when ready we will blast her out of the sky.” “ZAP!” “ZAP!” “ZAP!” “ZAP!” These were the sounds our weapons made as we continuously bombarded her. “DIE YOU MURDEROUS BITCH!” Satellite will be ready to fire in one minute. “Magnus what was that?” “It was an alert I set up for myself. I must have accidentally set it for you too.” “What is the satellite for?” “It’s a cannon.” “Alright then.” “I’m going to call Malice.” “Ok i’ll keep Celestia occupied.” “ZAP…ZAP…ZAP!” (POV Malice) I had just heard from Magnus that he was fighting Celestia but unfortunately I had my hands full dealing with the newest princess. “Twilight Sparkle please leave and you won’t be hurt.” “NOOOOOO YOU KILLED FLASH AND NOW YOU WILL DIE!” she shouted, her hair and tail turning into fire and her fur turning white. “Well fuck you to then,” I replied while bringing my DMR’s sights onto her head. “BANG…BANG…BANG!” rang out the shots from my weapon. I was almost certain that she would put up a shield but unfortunately in her rage she forgot and her horn was blown off her head leaving a fountain of blood to pour out. “AHHHHHHHHH!” “Gotcha bitch.” “Why are you doing this,” she asked. “Because my little pony,” leaning in close I whispered to her. “It’s fun.” “Sir.” “Damn it Magnus you stopped me before I could perform an evil laugh.” “Sorry but we have a bigger problem on our hands.” “What?” “Celestia is attacking us.” “I’m on my way right now.” (POV Rarity) I was so worried about twilight that I almost failed to see the large monstrosity of metal burst through the wall. “DIE PONIES DIE!” “My friends and I all screamed together at the sight as it destroyed the small amount of guards defending us.” “YOU.” “Me,” I asked trying to make myself as small as possible. “YES YOU TELL ME THE LOCATION OF THE CRYSTAL HEART!” “You and the rest of the changelings are meanies,” shouted out Pinkie before any of us could stop her.” “AND WHY IS THAT PONY!” “You are attacking us when we have done nothing wrong.” Looking back towards the beast I could easily tell it was mad. This was not from it’s face for that was unseeable but from seeing all his weapons power up and fire jet out of the four tubes on his back. “NOTHING WRONG YOU THINK YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG!” “Yes.” “YOUR KIND HAVE SLAUGHTERED HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF CHANGELINGS ONLY BECAUSE WE WANTED FOOD!” “Why didn’t you ask for help?” “WE DID BUT YOU ALL REFUSED US AND ATTACKED WITHOUT REASON SO WE FOUGHT BACK AND WERE LABLED AS EVIL PARASITES!” “Dear could you stop yelling?” “NO!” “Ok,” by this time Fluttershy had already passed out and was in a formation that would stop anything from moving her. “NOW DIE!” “DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!” “BOOM!” “PEEEEWWWWW!” “FWOOSH…FWOOSH!” All of his weapons had fired and it looked like certain doom for us but instead of death what we saw was a large pink shield made by our friend Princess Cadence. “Hurry we have to get out of here!” she shouted at us.” “NOT SO FAST MURDERERS,” said the beast raising it’s hammer like appendage and smashing through the shield. “I’M NOT DONE YET.” “Oh buck,” said Applejack as she picked up Fluttershy who had fainted at the beast’s entry. “Who are you?” Cadence asked. “I AM SHREDDER!” “DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA,” Shredders weapon sounded as the ground around us exploded. We quickly ran down the corridor to escape the assault but we all forgot one thing…Spike. (POV Spike) I was having the best of dreams but I was surprised to wake up on a bed and not in a train. “They must have moved me.” Going over towards the window I slipped on a few books spilling out of a bag. “Twilight must have been reading.” I decided to give up my journey and instead find some food. I proceeded to open the door and try to find a kitchen. Unfortunately in my half awake half asleep state I was unable to notice the explosions going on out side. “boom…boom…boom.” “Pinkie must be throwing a party.” Turning down the left corridor I continued to walk until I came upon a strange piece of art. It looked like someone had splattered red paint on a wall. It also seemed as though the painter wasn’t done and had accidentally cause a tapestry to fall upon the lump that could only be his paints. “ahhhhhhhh.” “Something must have fell on somepony’s foot.” Continuing down the corridor I found a right passage leading to a kitchen. “Yes.” Finding the kitchen caused me to fully wake up. “FWOOSH………BOOM!” “What in the heck was that?” “BOOM…BOOM…BOOM!” “This is a problem for future Spike. Present Spike needs food.” Turning around to the pantry I pulled out a box of sugar bombs, I then turned to the fridge and grabbed some milk, and finally to the cabinet to get a bowl. “BOOM BOOM BOOM!” “Who’d they get to play the music?” “BOOM BOOM BOOM!” “Must be Vinyl only she could produce music that loud.” I then closed the kitchen door to keep out most of the noise and made my cereal. The Lich(POV Shredder) The ponies had some how survived my relentless assault by only running. “DIE!!!.” “No!” screamed the pink one who then threw a pie in my face. “THAT’S IT I’M DONE PLAYING AROUND IT’S TIME YOU DIED!” after these words I turned my hammer to the ground and readied the piston that would create enough force to destroy this castle. “If you do that you’ll die too!” yelled the white pony as she and here friends continued to run. “HA EVEN IF I BRING THIS WHOLE PLACE DOWN I’LL STILL SURVIVE!” Hammer activating in 3…2…1 Raising my arm up I used both the force of the piston and my arm coming down to create the shock wave along with the great earthquake. “BOOM…RUMBLE!” Looking to the ceiling I could see hundreds of thousands of cracks spreading on it. “Hmmmm…let’s see you get out of this one,” I said in a regular voice before running back down the hall I chased the ponies through. (POV Random Doctor) “Is she done yet!” “No!” screamed back one of the nurses. “but it looks like the heart is almost done with her. “Well we better be ready because it sounds like we are going to need to run.” “Ya don’t say,” said another nurse. “Rumble.” “What was that?” “BOOM!” was the sound made as part of the ceiling crashed down in front of us turning one of the four guards with us to paste. “Ahhhhhh!” screamed the only female guard. “Holy buck!” exclaimed another. “She’s ready!” “Thank Celestia,” I quickly dashed towards them and started levitating the now healed mare down the hall. “Let’s go!” yelled one of the three guards. At his word we took off down the hall. I was sure that we were going to die the minute we stepped out side but I was wrong. Ahead of us there was a large fiery explosion which incinerated two of the other doctors. The fire forced us into one of the small doors to our right. We continued down the corridor as fast as possible and found our way into the throne room. “Hurry we can escape through the main door way.” “Alright lets go.” Two of the guards ran forwards and started to push against the door. I decided to help because I was the only unicorn left. “Crunch.” We could feel something was blocking it on the other side. “Crunch.” We only had to push harder. “Crunch.” Just a little more. “Crunch.” Almost g- “SPLAT!” was the wet sound made as the guards were thrown to the sides after having the door blown from it’s hinges from the other side. I fortunately enough was far enough away to not be splattered but a stray piece of metal had lodged itself in my right arm. “Ahhhh!” “And what do we have here?” said the voice of a large bipedal robot with two smoking barrels attached to it’s shoulders. “Ahhh it’s a pony.” “Who are you?” I said while shaking in fear. “Well my names Molotov.” “eep,” was the sound the lone guardsmare as she fainted. “Heh seems the guards are all worn out,” the creature said as the two barrels folded into it’s shoulders. “Maybe I should give her some rest back at my place don’t ya think.” “No no no you don’t have to do that.” “Your right maybe we could just have a good time.” I was both terrified and disgusted by the creature in front of me. “Now you listen here creature,” it turned towards me laying it’s glassed face upon me. “I…I won’t let you hurt her.” “Hurt her I would never do such a thing,” it then pulled a massive six barreled musket from it’s back. “Has anyone ever told you your annoying.” “Well no bu- BZZZZZZZZ!” (POV Molotov) “Man he was a real buzz kill don’t you think.” “Please go away,” said the only conscious pony in the room. “Ya know what I’m gonna let you live just because you said please but these two,” I proceeded to pick up Rainbow Dash and the guard. “are coming with me.” “O…ok” “Alright then see ya and also you might want run,” after those few words I slowly strolled out the door. (POV Malice) I was on my way to the thunder hawk as soon as Magnus informed me of miss sunshine’s arrival. “Malice I would suggest you hur- OH MY FUCKING GOD!” “Magnus?” “BOOM!” ahead of me there was a bright flash of purple light. “What the hell?” there seemed to be a purple globe protecting this thunder hawk from a white beam that had come from Celestia. After the beam ended the shield turned into a small purple ball about the size of a basket ball and hovered before the ship. Only for about one second before it shot a beam of it’s own towards Celestia. After it hit it pushed her into the ground and then six feet under before it stopped. “What the fucking hell was that.” (POV Alexandria) I felt the sensation of falling as the darkness gave way to the light of a broken and falling plane. To my right across the isle was a young boy with a piece of glass through his head. Looking forward I could see the ground approaching through the hole that used to be the front of the plane. “BOOM!” Where “dakka dakka dakka.” “fwoosh…boom.” “peewww.” I thought about just going back to sleep but that thought stopped when I looked over to my side and saw my now skeletal hand. “Ahhhh!” “What was that?” was the voice that came from behind the metal door on my left. Out of said door came a large creature about six feet tall wearing what looked like pilots clothing. “Who the hell are you?” it questioned in a menacing voice. “I’m Alexandria and I don’t know what’s going on!” “Alright then girl follow me.” I did as it told me but mostly because I didn’t want to get shot by the larger revolver resting on it’s hip. “Who’s back there?” “Seems the boss’s skeleton came to life.” “Whoa what the hell are you?” “I’m a human and I want to know where I am.” “Well then hooman you are at this moment on the one and only thunder hawk in the changeling army.” “It’s human not hooman and also what do ya mean changeling army where on earth am I?” “Well how do I explain this.” “No time look!” Ahead of us was a large white beam that was heading towards the right wing. as it got closer I threw up my arms to stop my self from being blinded and waited for my end. after a few seconds I opened my eyes to see my hands glowing purple and the beam being stopped by a purple barrier. Lich physiology meant I had magic. “Whoa!” “Holy buck what’s going on.” I started to think about what I could do and quickly found an answer to our problem. After finding the answer I slowly forced the energy into a small ball and then forced it out and towards the white flying being. (POV Magnus) Something horrible had happened. Celeste had managed to encase Sombra in a shield and shoot a large beam at the ship but before it hit some thing amazing happened. The beam was stopped by a purple shield. (POV Sombra) Even though I was incased in a shield I could still see when a large purple bolt that shot Celestia into the ground. (POV Celestia) I was astonished that they had somehow blocked one of my most powerful spells but that ended as I was hit by a purple beam much stronger than my own and shot into the ground. I had only seconds awake after the beam ended and used that time to send a letter to my sister and on this letter I wrote HELP!!!!!!!!! and then sent it away. Hopefully she would get here in time. (POV Alexandria) The changelings in front of me were just staring out the window mouths opened and eyes fixated on the spot the white person used to be in. “Guys?” “That was amazing.” “It was more than amazing.” “It was awesome,” said a deep voice behind me. Turning around I faced a large creature covered in black armor. “Who are you?” “I am Malice king of the changelings,” he said before he was encompassed in a blue field and dragged out the back of the ship I was on. (POV Luna) I was bored very bored. I now understood why my sister hated dealing with nobles. “Princess Luna,” stated one of them. “I am here to ask you to force out all of the commoners within that orphanage I wish to build a pool where they are.” “No Blueblood I won’t do that now please leave and don’t dare touch that orphanage got it.” “Fine.” “Why can’t something interesting happen.” “Poof,” was the sound made by a letter popping into existence. “Ooo maybe Tia found some thing interesting,” opening the scroll I saw the letters “HELP” written out with a few splatters of blood on it. “Guards!” “Yes princess,” said two of my night guard as they rushed in. “Prepare at least one hundred guards for battle.” “But there is no one here princess.” “We aren’t fighting here we are going to the Crystal Empire and I’m going to teleport us ok,” I stated while giving the guards a menacing glare. “Yes princess!” they said as they rushed off with fear in their faces. “Now it’s my turn to get ready,” I ignited my horn and covered my body in magic which I then used to quickly teleport and equip my armor. “Good and now for the weapon,” the magic around me then summoned in a large scythe. [10 minutes later] “Princess we are ready to go.” “Good now prepare for teleport in three…two…one ZAP.” Once we arrived I couldn’t belive my eyes. The empire had smoke billowing out of it and the castle looked as if it was falling in on itself. “Oh my Celestia.” “Guards I want you to split into five groups of twenty and search for civilians but if you come across any of the other princesses bring them out here and away from the battle.” “Yes Princess!” after they formed into groups they ran off leaving me alone. “Oh sister where are you?” my question was answered as I looked over to my left. There seemed to be a large crater but what inside horrified me. It was Celestia she had at least a hundred cuts across her body along with a large gash directly across her chest but worst of all were the burns. Her being the ruler of the sun made her quite resilient to heat but these weren’t normal burns they were magic burns. Looking to the sky I saw the large vessel that could only belong to Malice. Once I made my way up and behind it I saw him the creature that deserved my ire. I grabbed him with my magic and tore him from his ship. “Today you shall die Malice!” “No you will,” he said before turning around and blasting me with twin jets of flame. (POV Malice) The cool thing about gas powers is that I can ignite the gas and shoot it at people and that is what I did to Luna. “Ahhhhhh,” it seemed flames damaged her more than it would her sister but that was probably because she doesn’t rule the sun. “Die bitch!” but to my surprise she was able to shoot me through the fire. The bolt managed to knock me off balance and crash into the ground which ruined my jetpack. “Damn it.” “YOU SHALL DIE!!!” “Will I now?” “Yes you will.” “Ok then nightmare.” “We are not nightmare moon anymore now we are Luna princess of the moon.” fifteen seconds till satellite is ready to fire. “Alright Lulu it’s ok.” “I already told you that my name is LUNA!” ready to fire on designated target “Magnus?” “Yes.” “You got the target locator?” “Yes I do catch.” “Hey Luna look at what I've got,” as she looked towards me as I marked her as a target for the satellite. Firing main cannon. Looking up I was able to see the bright beam of plasma streaking down from the sky. “Prepare to be glassed Luna.” “What?” was all she managed to say before the beam hit her. It drove her into the ground like the purple beam did to her sister but the only difference was that the ground around Luna turned to glass from the heat. “Ahhhhhhhh!” “I can’t believe I actually expected those two to be strong enough to kill me.” “Sir we have the heart and are heading back to the ship,” said a changeling over the radio that was linked to our helmets. “Alright,” I said as I switched my radio to talk to every one. “Alright everyone we’ve got the heart now let’s go. “I’m sorry Malice but I can’t let you do that.” Author's Note well what do ya think? Also thanks for the feedback. updatethis story will be on hiatus until I figure out what to write Traitor(POV Malice) “I’m sorry Malice but I can’t let you do that.” “What are you talking about Sombra?” “I need that heart for it’s energy.” “So do I.” Once I flew over to him we began stare each other down ready to draw our weapons at a moments notice. He had a grasp on his two blades and I was reaching for my energy sword. “This doesn't have to happen.” “Yes Malice it does.” Seconds that felt like years passed by as we continued to stare. “Shing…Shing!” erupted the loud sounds of Sombra’s swords being drawn. Like him drawing his weapons I did the same. My energy sword soundlessly activating. We continued to wait until we were interrupted by a shout. “JUST FIGHT ALREADY!” shouted Molotov. It only took those few words to start the battle. “RAHHHHH!” He roared while charging me at top speed. “Not so fast motherfucker,” after quickly deactivating my shield I raised my arm and around it formed twelve small missiles. “Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh,” The missiles sped words him at an astonishing pace. The first one passed straight through him. Well shit I cant hit him I thought as the others did the same and crashed into a large college. “You can’t hit me Malice,” he said with a grin “I am nothing but a swarm of nanites remember.” If I can’t hit him with my missiles then swords definitely won’t work. “I can see it even if your face is covered. You have realized the truth you cannot destroy me.” “No he can’t but I can,” shouted Magnus. “Your late.” “Just finishing up a few things,” he said while I looked at the large amount of blood on him. “Yes things.” “Now go help the troops I've got Sombra.” POV Magnus “It is interesting that you would betray us so soon.” “Oh really.” “Yes I thought it would be atlas a month before you were ready to die.” “Me die no you will die.” “Hmmm I wish this didn’t have to happen Sombra,” I said. “I really thought of you as a friend.” “It does not matter what you wish or what you thought,” he replied harshly. “I truly am sorry for this,” I reached out with my hand and spoke a few key phrases. “Emergency command 420 code name “Traitor” activate.” “What was thaaaaaaaaaaat,” Sombra spoke his voice freezing up mid sentence. “That was the emergency self destruct activating inside of you,” I replied flatly. “What!” “You are now a living bomb.” “Ha it doesn’t matter even though I must die I will bring you with me.” “No you won’t your nanites are currently connecting causing you to solidify,” I explained. “Soon you will drop from the sky like a rock.” “What no…no you can’t do this.” “It is already done and cannot be stopped.” “But come on it was just a joke,” he said as his body started to fall.” “We both know it wasn't a joke.” “Your time will come someday Magnus it may not be me but there are others who will wish to kill you.” “It does not matter anymore.” “Even if we are enemies I will still tell you this,” he said darkly. “Watch your master closely for his mind is slipping.” “Wait what?” “Good bye and well fuck you Magnus,” Sombra them fell like a stone. “That took longer than expected.” (POV Molotov) “Damn I was really hoping the were gonna fight,” I quietly said while pushing a sixth mare into a net strapped to my back. “Fun is gonna start when we get home so you better get ready ladies.” “Your a monster!” shouted the blue one. “Oh a monster am I?” “Yes you and all the other changelings.” “But I'm not a changeling,” I said smoothly. “I’m a pony.” “But why aren’t you helping us?” “Because your leader is a genocidal bitch who wants to wipe out an entire race just because they're different.” “Your lying!” “Ha you shall soon see the truth girl.” “Like hell i’ll ever believe you.” Looking to my left I saw something that made me quite happy. Three mares all trapped in a crumbling building. “Oooh my now this is what I like.” “Freak.” “Shut your mouth pony,” I said quickly grabbing the three unconscious mares. “Now make sure they are ok and I might not take you home.” “Fine.” Ahhh nine mares and only a block till I reach the ship. “Nice guys finish last,” I sang and quickly blasted a guard who thought he was sneaky. “That’s why I treat you like trash.” “Uhg i’m gonna be sick.” “If you barf on me i’ll torch you,” I said and held up my flame thrower. “GULP!” “Your good at swallowing guess i’ll have to remember that for later.” “F…f…freak.” “Ahhh I can see it now.” “See what?” she asked. “You future will be filled with swallowing and when I say filled I mean like night and day swallowing.” “GULP!” was the sound she made in fright. “Just like that heh heh heh.” “THUD!” “What the hell is that Sombra?” I said to the metal statue. “Nah.” (POV Shredder) “I must re turn to the ship quickly before they are overrun by the princess’s guards.” “THUD THUD THUD SQUISH!” “Oop’s looks like I stepped on something,” lifting my foot I saw a small colt with his organs squished from his body. “Nope just trash.” “THUD THUD THUD THUD!” rang out the sounds of my stomping feet. (POV RPG) “Brothers I can feel it can’t you.” “Yes we feel it too.” We currently had the heart in our grasp and were running for the ship while being covered by our other brothers. “Hurry up and board the ship we can't keep this up all day!” yelled out one of them before he returned to gunning down the incoming swarm of guards. “Just a few more blocks brothers.” POV Alexandria What the hell have I gotten myself into? “Miss I advise you find a seat we are about to leave.” “What about the rest of your soldiers?” “Closing on our location,” he replied. “So you best be ready for takeoff cause it’s gonna be bumpy.” “Ok.” After the quick conversation I ran over to an empty seat and strapped myself in. “Molotov ETA thirty seconds, Shredder ETA one minute, and the soldiers ETA is three minutes,” said the pilot on the right. “Got it extending boarding ramp and readying weapon systems,” said the one on the left. “Powering up engines…1 powered…2 powered…3 powered…4 powered all engines powered and ready for take off,” said the one to the right. “Molotov is here and Shredder has sped up making his ETA 15 seconds.” “Hey y'all what’s up,” shouted a new voice who I assumed was Molotov. “And who the hell is this.” “My name is Alexandria and also what is on your back.” “Toys.” “But all I see are…girls” “Like I said toys.” “Pervert.” “Hey a man has to have his fun and these changelings need to relax if you know what I mean.” “Uhg.” “I HAVE ARRIVED!” “AHHHH!” “MOLOTOV WHAT IS THIS CREATURE?” “First of calm yourself and second this is Alexandria.” “AHHHH I IS NICE TO MEET YOU,” said the massive machine. “I AM THE MIGHTY SHREDDER!” “No need to yell ya jackass!” said one of the pilots. “Heart ETA one minute,” said the other pilot. “Malice and Magnus are converging on their position for fire support.” “Starting engines.” “FWOOSH!” “Entering hover mode and retracting landing gear.” “CHUNK…CLUNK!” “Landing gear locked prep for take off.” “ETA ten seconds.” “Lift off in twenty.” While they were prepping the ship, Molotov took all his knocked out ponies and strapped them in before he attached himself to a locking mechanism in the wall. While he did this Shredder attached himself to some clamps on the floor and roof of the cabin. “We are all locked in back here,” yelled Molotov. “Not quite yet,” said a changeling who was carrying a heart shaped jewel. Suddenly more changelings ran in and took their seats while the first lock the jewel in a safe of some kind. Next came a silver and blue being who ran into the cockpit and following after him came Malice who then began to yell out orders. POV Malice “Get this ship in the air we don’t have time to waste.” “Sir yes sir!” yelled the pilots. “Everyone prepare for a bumpy ride,” I said before strapping myself into a chair.” “Liftoff in 3…2…1,” at one we immediately shot upwards and the thrusters boomed with the sudden amount of power. “FWOOM………BOOM.” We broke the sound barrier while going up. “Time to head home," yelled a pilot as he gunned and we rocketed it out of there. Devastation and the Biomachine(POV Princess Cadence) My empire was burning and blood ran through the streets. I had found countless foals crying over their parents bodies. I even had the unfortunate luck of seeing the after effects of one of the large explosive flying tubes. The only thing keeping me from going insane from grief was my child whom I had hid with to keep her safe. “Hello princess.” “Ahhh,” I screamed as a large metallic statue began to speak. “It issssss niiiice to see you.” “Did you assist with this?” “Originally yes.” “Who are you?” I asked menacingly. “I am or was Sombra but I will soon be nothing but ashes.” “Wait Sombra as in the evil overlord Sombra.” “Correct.” “And what was that about ashes?” “I betrayed Malice and his allies so I was turned into a bomb,” he explained. “A BOMB!” “And don't think about moving me it won't help.” “Why not?” “The explosion was made of both science and magic therefore the resulting explosion should be at least 50 times the size of the empire.” “That big?” I asked in shock. “Yes that big,” he replied. “Your best bet would be to evacuate the empire while I try to internally disarm the bomb.” “Why would you help us?” “Because I hate Malice.” “Why do you hate your master?” “He is no master of mine,” Sombra replied. “And as to why I hate him. you can see for yourself.” I then looked over his solidified body realizing that he couldn’t slip away from this fate like he slipped away from his two previous fates. He was doomed. “How long do I have.” “It was originally set to one day but due to my interference you have three days.” “I never thought I would say this but…thank you Sombra.” “You are welcome princess.” (POV Spike) “Ugh what in the name of Luna happened?” “HELLO ANYPONY THERE?” yelled a loud voice. “Um yeah i’m down here.” “Hurry men it sounds like a child.” “Hey what happened I was inside the castle kitchen at the time?” “We were attacked and over a fifth of the population was killed.” “Oh buck me. Who attacked?” “An unknown assailant by the name of Malice. He and his soldiers stole the crystal heart and kidnapped the element of loyalty along with six other mares and three stallions.” “What about the princesses?” “Both Princess Luna and Princess Twilight have been flown back to Canterlot for emergency treatment. With the assistance of Princess Cadence Princess Celestia has been able to stay.” “I should have been there to protect them.” “Don’t worry kid there was nothing you could do.” “still I wish I was there.” “All that matters is that your safe now.” “Ok.” (POV Celestia) “Cadence does the empire have some form of warning system,” I asked my niece. “It did but it was connected to the heart.” “Then we have to do this the hard way.” “The hard way?” “You will gather your things and Flurry while I begin the evacuation.” “But I should be here to help.” “No you will prepare to leave.” “Yes Celestia.” (POV acting guard commander) “Attention remaining soldiers of the empire, we have been given a new goal.” “What would that be,” asked a slightly burned recruit. “We have been tasked with evacuating the empire.” “Why,” asked another. “The enemy left an massive bomb within the empire that even if we moved it would still affect us.” “Oh Celestia.” “We will retrieve the survivors and leave before the bomb goes off understand.” “YES SIR!” the all yelled. (POV Ruby) The heart container was almost complete along with the machine the drones are building. It has been fitted with wire connectors much like the mechanism added to my back. Before he left Malice told me of his plans involving the magic bomb dropped off in the empire. It was still fresh in my mind. [Flash back start] “Ruby I have a job for you.” “What is it sir.” “It will be hard to handle and may even be painful at first but I’m sure you'll get used to it.” “What do you need I’ll do anything…anything.” “I need you to control the heart.” “Huh?” “Six connectors will be added to your back so that you may interface with the machine the drones are building.” “Uhm well anything for you sir.” “Good good.” “What is the machine for?” “It’s for making an army of flesh and metal.” “F…flesh and m…metal!” “The bomb will teleport multiple ponies to a containment room and then you will control the factory and create my army.” “Ok sir.” [Flash back end] Flesh and metal…flesh and metal? “Ruby?” “Huh!” “Ruby I’ve been saying your name for the past minute.” “Sorry I was deep in thought.” “Well it’s time to prepare to be attached.” “Ok,” I said as the drone began listing off the various protocols. (POV Molotov) I thought I had nine girls but unfortunately the turned out to be traps. “WOW MOLOTOV DIDN”T KNOW YOU WERE INTO TRAPS,” bellowed Shredder. “Yeah same here,” said RPG “Aw come on guys lets accept him for who and what he is…A faggot.” “Shut up ya assholes.” “Calm down just because your a FAGGOT doesn’t mean you can’t help us,” said A drone “Yeah just add some rainbow stripes and frills,” said another. “They looked like girls in the dust and under the rubble.” At least the Lich is qui- “It’s alright some guys are just perverts.” “GRRRRRR SHUT IT BONEHEAD.” “What did you call me.” “I CALLED YOU BONEHEAD YOU SKELETON FREAK,” I said and extended my cannons. “Oh hell no,” she replied while igniting her hands in purple fire. “QUIET!!!” yelled Malice. Suddenly everyone went quiet. “We’ll be arriving soon so sit down and shut up…by the way Molotov.” “Yes?” “Stop being a faggot.” “Grrrrrrrrrr.” (POV Malice) After dealing with my fighting soldiers I returned to the cockpit. I made it just in time to see the ground be covered in green flame and leave behind black carapace. The carapace then began to split in half with small strings of slime stretching across the ever widening gap. “VVVVVvvvvvvvvvvrrrrrrrrr.” The gunship passed through the opening and began to slowly drift downwards into the earth. The carapace then closed behind us and blocked out all light. We drifted for about 300 feet and passed through two more gates. “They've done a lot of work.” “Yes they have,” agreed one of the pilots. We finally reached the main room where the gunship was first built but it had nearly tripled in size. I could also see a small alcove that looked like a landing pad. (POV Ruby) He is here. “Miss Ruby It’s time.” “Yes.” “Now lay down on this chair and fit your connectors in-between the six holes.” “All right there we go.” “And finally we begin the process,” said the drone. “The other four changelings with me will act as your power source until the heart arrives.” “Understood now lets begin.” “Prepare yourself miss Ruby.” I was covered in green magic and levitated in side of the massive biological construct. The other four stood on each corner and powered it up. “CRACK!” Six tentacle like objects entered my back and emitted a cooling sensation that numbed all my nerves. The magic left me and the tentacles drug me inwards. Inside there were multiple machines. The first seemed like some form of goggles that reached down and attached to my face. The second was a head lock system that locked my head in place. Third was a face mask that would feed me love and also help me breath. The last piece was a full body sarcophagus piece that locked in my arms and legs. After being locked in a large claw covered in carapace. I was raised into the main center of the bio machine. The heart had been placed inside while I was being locked in and was now sitting behind me. But finally I could see but from the outside and looking at the mechanism. It had four corner towers glowing with green energy while the center tower contained a large red power source and was connected to nearly a hundred wires that were dug into the wall. ‘It’s perfect.’ (POV Celestia) 2 days later In the distance I could hear the sounds of a siren as it pushed the ponies towards the destroyed train station where they would be met with transport chariots. Sombra had been moved up to the main throne room with my help. I was needed because he was surprisingly resistant to magic and also very heavy. “Celestia you do know that you will not be able to save them all,” he said. “I can try to get as many out as I can.” “I can only guess you are taking women and children first especially the newly born princess.” “You are correct.” “You should leave.” “Why?” “Although I dislike you we both have a common enemy…Malice. I cannot survive and stop him so you must Celestia.” “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” “Yes.” “I plan on leaving late tonight.” “That is good because the bomb will go off in 12 hours and for once I am happy you are escaping.” “I have many things to attend to good bye Sombra and good luck on the other side.” “Good luck to you to Celestia.” Author's Note What do you think will happen next. Especially with the added Biomachine. criticism is great but please go easy on me. A new life filled with excitementAh well where do I start with this story. I guess at the beginning the very first step into my story. Well prepare to be amazed or not it’s up to you. It was a bright summer day a day of beauty a day of life. This was the last day of school and the day before my eighteenth birthday. All except for me I had just finished school when something incredible unpredictable happened as I was rushing to my car. I found a penny with the head side up and then I got hit by a school bus. That my friends is the end of my story…not. After I had been hit it was like everything froze in a split second as I was sent flying away from the bus. Then something popped in front of me with words reading. “You have been chosen for the power lottery due to your untimely demise.” In my mind i was thinking well how do i start this thing when it responded. “You will tap these three white screens.” As the letters popped up three screens also did. “They will then randomly select three powers for you to use on you journey. Within this journey you may do what you wish weather it be peaceful or full of action. Kindness or cruelty.” I tapped the three screens and three types of powers emerged from the white ness. They were listed “Missile generation, gas manipulation, and technological constructs.” “Well these are quite interesting powers.” “As a gift your benefactor has allowed you to decide between there regions of where you are going to spawn. Desert, forest, or ocean shore.” “I choose ocean shore.” “Prepare for transport and may the odds be ever in your favor.” After those words I blacked out. Only to awaken seconds later to find myself upon a deserted beach. "Well this is going to be a new change." Suddenly from behind me I heard a gunshot ring out. "BANG!" The ground in front of me exploded into a shower of sand. "Oh shit!" I quickly ran behind the closest rock and shouted. "Hey whoever you are I am an alive and sentient being and I would very much not like to be killed." "Oi da name's Spot On and I'm the best shot in all of these here islands." Ok so I'm on an island. "Well why are you trying to kill me?" "Cause you scared away ma prey. The rare white dodo bird one of the last of it's kind they say." "BANG!" More exploding sand. What was one of my powers I could use on this guy? Damn it brain why are you so slow. "If it's rare isn't it illegal to hunt it?" "Yea but da princesses don't have no power here just me, my prey, and you. Except now it's just me and my prey which is now you." Come on brain. Ah ha! Missile generation. "Hey just a question what type of gun you got there?" "Your gonna die soon any way so might as well tell ya. It's the best musket on the market only takes two minutes to reload and better accuracy." "Wow! Lot of fire power you got there." So lets see a small explosion missile about five foot in diameter explosion. Now after his next shot he gets a missile to the face. "I also got my trusty flintlock pistol this things saved my life more than once." Shit he has two guns. "BANG!" Well it's now or never. I quickly jumped out of my hiding place stretching my arm out and imagining a large missile above it just the way I planned it. To my surprise it actually worked. The creature shooting at me appeared to be a large black and red bipedal bird lion creature dressed in camouflage jacket and pants. We both then said almost the exact same thing. "What the fuck." "What the buck." The creature pulled out it's pistol and I shot my missile just as I felt the pain of a bullet go through my right leg. Lucky for me I didn't black out or else I wouldn't be able to see the light show. As the missile drew closer to the hybrid even from my distance I could see it's fear.A few milliseconds later. "KABOOM!" The hybrid exploded not even leaving any blood it was completely disintegrated. After the amazing light show I was left with just one thing the pain of a hole in my leg. Now what was that one other power to do with nanites repairing body parts oh ye technological constructs. Well let's get to it then. It had been about thirty minutes of me bleeding out when I figured out how to make a few replicating nanites to repair my leg. Unfortunately I didn't know how long it would take but was surprised when it only took about ten painless minutes. "Wow that was fast. So now that i have control over these few nanites let's see how I can do with a few more." I quickly made a cloud of about three thousand nanites. This is easier than I thought it would be. Now what can I do with them. Oh I know. I slowly inserted them into my body telling them to strengthen my muscles and bones. So far that I would be super human able to lift anything around the weight of three tons. With my body repaired and ready to go I decided that it would be a good idea to find or build shelter. I doubted the nanites could build a house and I didn't want to build a suit of armor until I mastered the control of nanites. So I walked along the shore until I found a large clearing with a tent and a fire. "This must have been Spot On's camp site." Luckily it seemed that he was alone. The site consisted of a tent, a burnt out campfire, a large log that it seemed he had sat upon, an extra musket, ammunition for the musket, and a packet of crackers. "This musket will definitely come in handy until I figure out how to work my nanites and do small explosions rather than larger ones. As I looked into the sky I saw that it was getting close to night time so while there was still some light left I went and got some fire wood. "Crap I don't have any thing to light it with." Wait another one of my abilities is gas manipulation. If I create some flammable gas and use the sparker on the musket to light is on fire I can continuously fuel it and light my fire. That is exactly what I proceeded to do. "I have made fire!" Having made my fire I sat there until I felt tired looking at my watch I could see it was around nine thirty I decided to turn in for the night. To me it seemed that since the fire was already running low I would leave it going to scare off any predators. Taking the musket some ammunition and a knife I found under the log into the tent I slipped under the blankets within to get a somewhat good nights rest. Author's Note Constructive criticism would be awesome since this is my very first fanfic. Deadly Duels, Healing Spells, and Terrifying Tests(POV Malice) “So this is what you meant by drones usurping the throne.” “Drone get off of my throne and bow to your leader.” “Former leader i’m in charge now Chrysalis or should I call you slave for that is what you will be to me HAHAHAHAHA.” “Wow really evil villain laugh.” “Shut it creature.” “No you are not going to talk to my friends like that understand and so with the power I hold. I MALICE YOU CHITIN TO A DEATH BATTLE WINNER TAKES THE HIVE!” “No.” “Oh I see you believe yourself to weak to fight me. Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone cause they can already see it.” “I AM NOT WEAK!” “Then accept the challenge.” “Fine I King Chitin accept you terms and agree to this duel but only if there are no firearms only swords, shields, and magic.” “Fine by me,” I said while putting my guns to the side and pulling out my energy sword and activating my jackal shield. “The duel is to the death only one survivor,” He said while pulling out a large sword that seemed to be made from the black chitin of a changeling. “Then stop stalling…weakling,” After that one word he charged head on at me. I readied my shield and armed my energy sword. “Come at me bitch.” (POV Chrysalis) I watched as Chitin charged at Malice sword in hand ready to cleave his head from his body. At my side I could hear the four drones that were with us shouting at him to move. I would have done the same until I saw his stance. He was ready to move out of the way of the charging king. “Do not worry my drones he shall be fine.” “How do you know my queen?” “Just watch.” The drones obeyed me and just in time to if we had been a few seconds more we would not have been able to see the battle that took place. (POV Malice) As the changeling king charged at me I thought about how many ways I could kill him. My thoughts were interrupted by the small drones yelling at me. Oh well might as well give them a show. Readying myself I waited till the proper moment. Time seemed to slow and my mind seemed to speed up. as he reached me I twisted my body to the side and stuck out my foot tripping him. His face plant was one that should have been in history books but what happened next was the grand finally his death. (POV Chitin) This stupid beast shall fall and I shall do with Chrysalis what I like. Slowly standing up I looked at the creature’s reflective face mask and saw my busted and bleeding snout. Turning towards it I brought up my sword to block it’s attack. Only to have my sword cut in two by the glowing blade. It then proceeded to ram me with it’s magic shield, knocking me off balance, and throwing me to the ground. (Drone with red eyes) I can’t believe it he cut Chitin’s sword in two and then he knocked him to the ground. In my mind I had no doubt that this would be our new King. (POV Malice) Chitin lay on the ground in front of me pleading for his life. Just like all beings he just wanted to live another day. “Please don’t kill me. I…I’ll give you anything you want.” “I want your skull as my trophy,” I whispered to him. “No please no.” “Pitiful you would have ran this hive to it’s death within hours of your rule,” I said while slowly walking towards him. Unfortunately I didn’t see his slight nod to his companions until Chrysalis yelled at me. “Malice behind you.” Turning around I saw four changelings rushing at me knives drawn. I acted on instinct stretching my arm out and shooting red whips of smoke into their lungs. They then fell to the ground coughing as their throats swelled cutting off their oxygen supply. “Chlorine gas,” I whispered to my self. “Fellow changelings do you not see this creature is a monster,” Chitin said to the congregation of changelings. “No he is not. He saved me and these four drones from the royal guards by killing twenty of them.” Murmurs of the word “twenty” went around the room. With Chitin’s followers dead or dying I turned to him. “Ah Chitin this is where your story ends and a new one begins,” I said while picking him up by the throat. “I AM THE NEW KING OF THE CHANGELINGS KING MALICE!” I shouted as I plunged my energy sword into his gut and letting his corpse hang there for a second or two before deactivating my sword and letting him fall to the ground. “All hail King Malice!” Shouted one changeling causing the room to be filled with the sounds of cheering. “Yes all hail the King,” I whispered looking over at Chrysalis. (POV Celestia) Luna and I were ready. We had studied as many healing spells as we could find before going into Rainbow Dash’s room where her friends were waiting. We had mentally prepared ourselves for the disgusting sight of Rainbow Dash’s injuries. “Princess do you think it will work,” Twilight asked. “I do not know if it will and neither does Luna,” I sighed. “We have not seen wounds like these in over a thousand years.” “But you can at least stop the pain right?” Asked Fluttershy. “Yes we shall at least stop the pain and heal her skin but her wings may take some time.” “Sister?” “Yes Luna.” “Shall we begin?” “Yes we should,” I said while powering up my horn as Luna did the same. We then both combined our power shooting a blinding white beam of magic at Rainbow’s prone form. (POV Twilight) For a few minutes I could not see what was happening but eventually the princesses ended the beam. The first of us five to go up was surprisingly Fluttershy behind her were the other three and then last was me. What we saw terrified me. Rainbow’s right wing had no feathers on it, one of her legs was missing part of it, and all her hair was gone. “I am sorry we could not regenerate her feathers. Whatever Malice did it is blocking most of the healing spell’s power.” “How princess he has no magic?” “I do not know but with all the hate he put into his missile I believe it could be affecting the wound.” “That would make some sense because hate is a very strong magic nearly as powerful as friendship.” “Yes it is.” (Malice) It had been a few hours since I killed Chitin and at the moment I was speaking with Chrysalis about how much food she has. “We do not have much love left and the captured ponies seem to be running dry.” “Running dry?” I was not surprised about the captured ponies because she told me that changelings cannot create their own love. “Yes the ponies have started to realize where they are and are holding back love from us.” “Hmmm. The first pony to run dry I want taken down to that room I asked you for and strapped down to a table.” “What do you plan to do?” “I plan to study our enemy,” I said as Chrysalis’s eyes widened realizing what I was planning to do. “Also using your magic can you make the room sound proof?” “Yes I can.” “Excellent,” I said while imitating a character from a show I used to watch on earth. “What are you doing with your hands.” “Nothing,” I quickly responded. “It’s just something from my home.” “Also what do you want us to do with the guards you killed.” “Take them down to the room too and don’t worry I’m not going to dissect them I’m just going to study them.” “The same way you are going to study that pony?” She said with a hint of worry on her face. “No I’m not going to study them that way because even though they are dead and they were working for Chitin they are still my people or changelings whichever you prefer.” “Oh good.” “The reason I need them is to study the way you bodies function so I can build new armor for them.” “But we already have natural armor why would we need more?” “Because I easily hurled a spear through one of them and even without my super strength it is easy to pass through.” “Oh ok,” She replied. “And why do you need the pony.” “I need to study their weak spots so that we know where to shoot also I don’t know if their organs are arranged the same way yours or mine are,” I explained. “Also can you get someone to move these guard’s bodies to the same place?” “Yes I will do that right now.” “Good now I’m going to sit on my throne,” After that sentence she quickly walked out of the throne room to go do whatever she does down here. (POV random pony) “What the buck where am I, I said looking around the dark room. “You are in my lab,” said a malevolent and mysterious voice. “Where are you?” I asked looking to where I thought the voice was and seeing two things. The first was a large digging thing and the second was a glowing cube with a sphere on top. “Well I’m right here,” said the voice as a black armored creature came into vision. “What’s going on here?” “Oh nothing I’m just conducting a study.” “What type of study.” “one where you have two choices,” It said while turning on a light and putting up a large drawing of a pony’s body from the front, the back, and the side. “Choice one is you tell me what I want to know.” “And choice two?” “I get it my own way,” The creature stated while pulling out a large blade from a table lined with saws, drills, scissors, and other cutting tools. “Wait are you going to dissect me?” I said while noticing my hands and legs were tied down. “Only if I have to,” It said while putting the knife away. (POV Malice) “Now what is your name?” “It’s Molotov.” “Special tallent?” “Burning things.” “Good good. Now I am going to untie you hands so don’t do anything stupid ok.” “Ok,” Molotov said as I untied him.” “Now on this diagram where is a pony’s heart?” Molotov pointed to the center of the chest. “Hmmm different then my body structure already.” “So are you conducting a study of a ponies body cause if you want a unicorn or pegasus I can’t help they've got their own body structures.” “Ok then thank you for that information.” “Your welcome.” “Now next question where are your lungs?” “In the middle of the chest it’s the same on all ponies but thats the only one I know of that’s the same.” “Good I am glad you are being cooperative.” This pony is doing very well I thought I would have to use my ‘tools’ but no he is doing just fine. Our questions went further into the night until about seven o’clock. “You must be getting hungry.” “A little bit but I doubt you have anything for me because you changelings only eat love.” “Well I’m not a changeling. Now since you have been so cooperative I am going to let you off the table but I will have to but and eight foot wall around so that you cant leave ok.” “It’s not like I could there’s probably at least a hundred changelings out there.” “That is true but a their king I have an status I have to live up to.” “Ok also if you get food don’t get the blue flowers they cause awful side effects.” “Thanks for the information,” I said as I build the wall and then jet packed over it and quickly walking out the door only to run into the changeling with red eyes. “Oh my king I am quite sorry are you all right.” “I am fine but I have a question for you.” “What is it my king?” “Why do you have red eyes while the rest have green?” “Oh that well I am one of the last drones from another colony that was wiped out by the ponies so my eye colors are different.” “And why are you taller than the others?” “Because I have the capability to become a queen but I promise not to try and usurp the throne from you my king.” “I understand now.” “I am sorry my king but I must go back to my duties.” “Wait because of your status I would like to give you a name if that is aright with you.” “A name but those are reserved for kings and queens of the hive.” “I believe that everyone should have a name but first is yours. Hmmm how about Ruby because of your eyes.” “It sounds amazing my king thank you so very much.” “Now I have another question where can I get some food around here?” “Well we don’t have much love left but we can spare some.” “I don’t eat love I eat meat and vegetables.” “Like the dragons and the ponies?” “Yes like them.” “I can send a group of warriors and normal drones to go get some meat and food for you.” “That would be great now come and notify me when they return with some food.” “Yes my king,” she said as she walked off. Now to go speak with molotov some more. I then turned around and went back through the doors. (POV Molotov) I wonder if I’ll ever leave this place or if I’ll be a test subject forever. My family has probably given up after all it has been two or three years since the invasion of Canterlot they probably think I’m dead. Wouldn’t matter anyways I would just go back to prison. “Molotov.” “Oh hey Malice what’s up?” “What did you do in Equestria?” “I was a criminal.” “Why?” “For openly speaking about the horrors that she was doing behind their backs.” “Like what?” “What I mostly didn’t like was the tests I heard about and how she refused to help the changelings which then forced them to invade.” “Tests?” “Most on changelings. Like the one where how it would respond to being pumped full of love some what like an overdose.” “And what happened?” “Think about a balloon that is filled up to much after a few seconds POP it explodes.” “Hmmm that is quite a horrible test.” “But that’s not all. Some of her subjects were ponies criminals like me the tests were things like magical feedback resistance, super serums, and pain tolerance. She treated them like they couldn’t even feel it.” “Wow that is horrible.” “I know right.” “But there is something I have to ask. do you have any loyalty to Celestia?” “No I have absolutely no loyalty to her.” “Hmmm I had something else to tell you.” “What is it?” “Well the changelings are bringing us some food but the problem is they probably think I’m torturing you.” “Why?” “Because I told them I was going to study you.” “Oh that type of study so is this the part where you kill me?” “Yes and no I am going to give you another choice.” “What are the choices?” “Well first off I am doing a test on what it would do to meld flesh with machine.” “Like a cyborg.” “Yes like a cyborg. I have two changing bodies that I was testing on before they brought you in here,” Malice said as he pulled out a body with it’s right arm being a saw and instead of wings it had fire coming from two small tubes on it’s back. “This one was of course a test and barely has a brain but thats mostly because I killed it first.” “And the second?” “He turned out better but with the same amount of brain power.” “Oh how so.” “He is incased in a metallic body with a large chain gun strapped to his back along with a grenade launcher and a anti air rocket launcher.” “Don’t know what those are but it sounds cool.” “Oh it is but back to the choices. The first is death.” “Not for me.” “And the second is you become one of my cyborgs and wear this helmet,” He said pulling out a black helmet with a glass front that I couldn’t see past.” “Cool.” “Oh course if you choose this action then there will be a lot more choices for your suit.” “I choose cyborg mode.” “Well let’s get started then.” (POV Molotov) System reboot in progress Wha why is it so dark? Deactivating visor shield After those words I could see again but it seemed somewhat different. Activating HUD Instantly multiple items sprang up in my vision. One of them looked like it was telling the time. Activating motor controls and sensor implants Suddenly I could move my arms, legs, and head. “Molotov,” I heard a voice to my left and looked words it and saw Malice sitting at a desk in front of a bunch of glass objects and buttons. “What’s up,” I said now finally hearing my voice. It was the same as before but had a small buzz to it. “What’s with my voice?” “Oh it must be because of the helmet or the augmentations.” “Ok.” “Now for some tests. Can you stand up?” “I’ll try,” I then stood up like I normally would but now I was around twice his hight. “Wow I’m so tall.” “Yes that would be the metallic body suit around you. Now look left and right,” I did as he said. “Good now up and down,” I completed those objectives too. “Try moving your arms around,” I did as he asked moving them in all different directions and then looking at them. “Wow this is so cool.” “Now for the HUD check. In the top right of your vision can you see the time?” “Yes it says 7:00pm.” “Correct. Next what do you see in the top left?” “It has some sort of musket with numbers next to it and then under it there is a long tube with a box on one end and a small flame on the other.” “Good now you can either say this or think.” “Think what?” “I was getting to that as I was saying you can say or think the words ‘flame thrower activate’ understand.” “Ok I’ll try it. “FLAME THROWER ACTIVATE,” Only a few seconds after those words the front of my left forearm popped up and a tube with a small flame came out of it. “What does this do?” “Clench your left fist really hard,” I did as he told me and to my surprise a large stream of fire flew out of it. “Woah.” “Cool right now try thinking about it deactivating,” I did as he told me and thought about it deactivating and with that thought the tube slid back into it’s slot and my forearm went back to it’s original place. “Now reach behind your back for a large musket grip and pullet from your back,” I did as told and found the odd musket. Once I had pulled around I saw that it had six barrels instead of just one. “That is your chain gun the barrels rotate and fire fifty bullets per-second.” “Wow.” “Go ahead and try it out I put up a target to your left.” “Ok I will,” I then did as he said placing the musket in both hands and setting my legs right I aimed the ‘chain gun’ down range and pulled the trigger. “BUZZZZZZZZZZZ,” was the sound it made as it fired. “Good good that is all for now so put the gun back and take off your helmet by lightly grabbing it twisting left until it clicks and then pulling up,” I did as he demonstrated and pulled it off. “This is quite new to me and will take some getting used to.” “Yes it will but first let’s go eat my changelings brought us some meat and vegetables I will have to cook the meat myself but it does not matter cause I get to do it my own special way but I have no clue what you got.” “They got me dandelions, grass, and hay it’s not that bad actually so they did a pretty good job.” “Yes yes they did.” Author's Note Longest Chapter yet. Again if you have any criticism then go ahead and tell me.
New friends and a new nameChapter 2 New friends and a new name During my deep sleep I began to dream. My dream consisted of replaying my killing of the hybrid. Which I had decided looked a lot like a griffin from mythology. The only thing keeping me together was the fact that griffins were all mythology and that I was in some sort of a coma dreaming inside of a dream. “Crunch.” “Wha.” “Crunch.” There must be some sort of animal out there. Oh shit what do I do what do I do. Wait I have super powers. I slowly peeked out of the tent flap and what I saw was a large lion bat scorpion thing eating a white dodo. I am sorry for your loss almost extinct species. Which power should I use. Maybe gas manipulation and make it fall asleep. Yeah that sounds good enough. I slowly stretched out my arm towards the beast. Small purple wisps of smoke flowed from my finger tips out of the tent and surrounded the beast. Immediately it recognized the change but didn’t understand what it was. That was the case until it slowly wobbled back and forth slowly falling into the clutches of sleep. “Thud.” “Yes.” Got em. Now to see exactly what I got. Climbing out of the tent I looked around to make sure there weren’t anymore of them. Well at least something good happened to me. “Wow.” The creature I was looking at was an actual manticore like the ones from mythology except unlike the griffin it wasn’t standing up maybe it is still considered a beast in this new world. I had given up the idea of being in a coma. I’m pretty sure a bullet can’t tear through your leg while your in a coma. Unfortunately I'm not a doctor so I don’t really know but I can still guess. Oh well might as well get to practicing with my nanite control. (POV ???) “Come on girls we have to save the endangered white dodos the princesses told us that it was an urgent matter.” “We’re coming alright the boat to the island doesn’t leave for a few hours.” “I understand that but we may as well be early. Who knows what we’ll find on that island maybe a new species. (POV Soon to be named human) I was quite pleased with myself. I had managed to have the nanites build over Spot’s tent. It was a little bit larger and more insulated to keep the warm air in and cold air out. “Yes I have done it I have mastered basic nanite control. Now for some defense.” I had an idea of what I wanted but before I could build it I heard far off voices. Grabbing my musket, ammunition, and knife I ran into the forest to watch for who it was. Maybe the manticore will finally wake up and chase them off. I knew it was still alive after I checked for breathing and a heart beat. “Oh my goodness.” I looked over to my right and saw what looked like a bipedal pegasus. “This day is just full of surprises.” The pegasus was wearing a short green and yellow skirt with a similar colored shirt. “What is it Fluttershy.” So that’s it’s name and from the pitch it’s female. “There is a manticore and I think it’s dead. I have to go check on it.” “Flutters wait it could be dangerous.” “Fluttershy watch out I think it’s waking up.” Indeed it was and even though I couldn’t see her friends but I knew she’d be long dead before they reached her. “Damn should’ve just killed the thing. Well guess I should help her out then.” Putting the preloaded musket to my shoulder I aimed at the manticores quickly awakening form and boy did it look mad. The girl didn’t run she didn’t scream she just made herself as small as possible. Aiming strait at the manticore's head as it was raising it’s tail for the strike I held my breath pulling the trigger I prayed to everything ever this would work. “BANG!” The manticore slumped to its side a massive hole in it’s head. (POV Fluttershy) Oh no why is this manticore so mad at me I tried to stare it down and talk to it but it didn’t work and now I was going to be eaten. “BANG!” There was the loud bark of a musket going off and the manticore stopped for a second before falling to it’s side a massive hole in it’s head. My friends were shouting at me but all I could see was the large figure walking towards me. It looked like a hairless monkey and it was holding a smoking musket. “Are you alright.” It asked. “I…I’m fine thank you.” "Here let me help you.” It reached it’s had out for me to grab and once I did it pulled me up. “Hey you get away from her.” Hearing this I turned to talk but it was to late she was going to hit and hurt us both. Then something happened I was thrown to the side just before we were hit the creature taking the full hit. (POV Very soon to be named human) What the hell hit me. Oh look I have shattered arms I hope the nanites take care of this. Thought this thought I could already feel the cooling sensation of my bones being repaired the nanites suppressing the pain. “Rainbow!” “What.” “Why did you do that.” “It could have hurt you.” “But it didn’t it saved me now I’m going to check on it.” Their conversation was quite interesting but I was still a little dizzy from the hit I took. How fast was that thing going. Behind the quickly approaching girl I could see here friends. I still couldn’t make out their attire at this distance but I could see their colors. Purple, pink, orange, and white. Then there was the one she called Rainbow who was blue with rainbow hair. “Hello.” Turning to the girl’s voice I replied. “Hello.” “I’m sorry about my friend she easily jumps to conclusions.” “Ah. I once had a friend like that he meant well of course.” “So what’s your name you probably know mine from my friends yelling.” Shit what am I going to call myself here. Well a new place a new name so might as well restart with names. “My name is Malice.” “Nice to meet you. Now let me see your arms they are probably quite injured.” “I will be fine in a second just a little sore.” “How.” “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” “Well go ahead and try.” “I have tiny robots inside of my body repairing my shattered arm and rib bones so I should be good in about ten seconds.” “Oh wow that is hard to believe.” “I know right.” As she helped me up her friends got even closer and I could better make them out. The purple one was wearing a school girl out fit. Not one of the sexual ones just a normal one thank God for that. The pink one was wearing a white dress that had what looked to be icing and candles on top. Orange girl had the typical cowgirl getup right down to the cowboy hat. Then there was the white one who obviously worried way to much about fashion she wore a white shirt with a black belt and purple skirt. Last and definitely least in my opinion was Rainbow her attire consisted of a tight sports shirt and tight sport shorts. As me and Fluttershy walked from my landing space her friends took fighting stances. “Girls what are you doing.” “It could be dangerous Fluttershy. Also why aren’t you scared of it.” The purple girl said. “Because he saved my life by shooting that manticore.” “Wow that was you!” The pink one exclaimed. “Yes that was me.” “If Flutters er says yer not an bad pony that’s good enough fear me.” “What do you mean pony?” “Well your a pony aren’t ya.” “No I’m a human. Also if your talking to someone of another species it is a little racist to call them ponies.” “Why?” “Well what if they aren’t ponies.” “That is a good point.” Purple said. “Wait before we continue this conversation I need to know your names. I already know Fluttershy so let’s start I’m Malice. Author's Note I love constructive criticism if you have any.
Malice(POV Malice) “Now then what are your names.” “I’m Princess Twilight Sparkle.” “Ma name”s AppleJack.” “Hello darling I’m Rarity.” “My name’s Rainbow Dash the fastest flier in Equestria.” Prideful much. “Hiya my names Pinkie Pie and if you come with us we can have a party with cake and balloons and streamers and all of the party things.” “Interesting now it is clear you are all the same species but what about sub-species.” “Well I’m an alicorn, Pinkie and AppleJack are earth ponies, Rainbow and Fluttershy are pegasi, and Rarity is a unicorn.” “This is different from what I’m used to but what advantages do each of you have for your different types.” “Well alicorns posses all three traits of the sub-species. Unicorns can manipulate magic, pegasi can manipulate clouds, and earth ponies are ten times stronger than normal ponies and have a magical tether to the earth.” “Thats a good explanation. Ah here we are my campsite.” (POV Twilight) What I saw before me didn’t look at all like a campsite just a large ten by ten by ten metal box with a door on the front. Still Malice quickly spoke up. “Home sweet home.” “Where is your home.” “Well straight through that door of course.” “Oh.” “Here I’ll show you.” Malice quickly crawled into the small door. Shouting back at us he said. “Come on in everything is fine.” So I crawled into his small home with my friends right behind me. “Wow.” Inside was totally different than outside. A soft light came from a small structure in the corner, There was a bed that appeared to be around four feet wide six feet long with blankets that looked like they had seen better days on it. There was a door leading into a six by three room which I could only assume to be a bathroom of sorts. A hearth and a couch in front of the hearth. “How did you do this.” “Through the power of nanites.” “What?” “Microscopic self replicating robots capable of transforming into anything smaller than fifteen feet.” “Oh my goodness. You must tell me how to make them.” “With your tech level i’d be surprised if you could build a computer.” “I have built a computer and it has quite a lot of storage on it.” “How much?” “One megabyte.” “Hahahahahaha. Oh God tell me your joking.” “Why would I joke about something so complicated.” “Computers where I come from can store multiple terabytes.” “What is a terabyte?’ “One thousand megabytes equals a gigabyte. One thousand gigabytes equals a terabyte.” “You are lying AppleJack come here help me tell if he is lying.” “Sugarcube he ain’t lying he’s tellin the truth.” “What…How…Why…Ughh.” “Hahahaha. Oh well Twilight eventually your kind will reach it’s level of this tech.” This is so frustrating. Wait why did the princesses send us here again. “Malice have you seen any white dodos.” “Yes I saw a manticore eating one also I saw a hunter by the name of Spot On hunting them.” “A hunter but it’s illegal to hunt them.” “He said something about the princesses having no power here. Then he shot at me for scaring his prey.” “Wow. Spot On was here.” Rainbow said. “Yes do you know him.” “He is the biggest hunter on terra.” “Terra is the name of this planet correct.” “Yeah but if he died my entire world would come crashing down and i’d have to go back to Daring Do.” “Ok hey you should go checkout that lava lamp over there with Pinkie.” “Oh ok that sounds awesome.” As rainbow left Malice leaned over and whispered to me. “I may have accidentally killed Spot On.” “You what!” “Quiet down it was his own fault he attacked me first.” “Why?” “Because I scared off his prey a white dodo.” “So you fought back after he shot at you.” “Yes.” “How?” “I can create and launch missiles.” “Missiles?” “Large flying explosive tubes.” “So he is gone.” “Yep.” “Forever.” “Yep.” “Well we probably shouldn’t tell her.” “Shouldn’t tell me what.” “Alright you got me I have to tell you.” “Malice what are you doing.” “I was just talking to Twilight about how magic works in a thumatic dynamo. It’s a very interesting conversation if you want to join us.” “No way that’s nerd stuff.” “Good job you got her to take the bait and she didn’t figure out you killed Spot On.” “WHAT!” Rainbow quickly flew over and tackled Malice. “Rainbow stop.” “Don’t you see Twilight he just brought us here to kill us.” “No Rainbow he didn’t. Spot On shot at him first for scaring away a white dodo he was trying to kill.” “Still he is a killer. We have to take him to Celestia to be punished.” “Twi that is the law. Even though ah don wana do it we have ta.” “Wait what. I’m being punished for defending myself.” “Did you try to talk it out.” “Yes but he tried to kill me.” “Still darling allow Twilight to put some magic handcuffs on you.” “No way. Never.” (POV Malice) What the hell is this place I almost died then I get punished for surviving. “I am not going with you. Now get out of my house!” I was furious that they would threaten me in my own home. “Ahm might sorry bout this but it has ta be done.” I was wondering what she was talking about till I was hit in the head and everything went black. My only thoughts were of what the hell was happening. (POV Twilight) “So girls what are we going to do with him once Celestia punishes him?” “We can find a way to purify him without the elements.” “Yes we could. Before finding the elements Celestia and Luna used to banish all sorts of evil spirits.” “That sounds like a swell idea darling.” “Fluttershy what do you think.” “Well…um…I think he shouldn’t be punished. I mean he was just defending himself.” “What do you me Flutters the guy is a killer he needs to be locked up forever.” “Rainbow let’s not get ahead of ourselves darling. I mean he could have been mind controlled.” “Yeah but still if the Princess doesn’t put him away I will.” “That sounds really dark Rainbow. Are you ok.” “Sorry I guess some of the pressure at the weather factory is getting to me we have a lot of storms and clear days lined up." “We understand it can be hard working so long.” “Yeah.” “Twilight I think you should see this.” “See what Pinkie?” “It looks like he’s waking up from his nap.” “What that shouldn't be possible. He should have been asleep till we got him to the dungeons.” “Well he’s awake now. Maybe you should go check on him.” “Ok I will.” (POV Malice) Every thing was dark not it’s night time dark I mean dark as in void dark. “Well you already fucked up.” “What who's there.” “Well you haven't met me yet but I’m your benefactor as my messages called me.” “Oh thats neat I guess.” “You guess?” “Well I can’t really see you so I don’t know who you are.” “Well lets just say that I'm someone who's seen just about everything in the multiverse so I wanted to see something new.” “So what should I call you.” “We are in the void so you can call me that.” “So your name is Void.” “For the time being yes it is.” “Well then Void what happened.” “Those equines thought you were a threat so the knocked you out and tied you to a rail inside of a empty train car.” “Wow and they did that after I saved their friend.” “Yeah their species is against any and all kinds of violence. So if you punched some one you could be looking at five to six years in prison.” “Wow really.” “Yeah.” “So now for killing I’m basically on death row.” “Well they banned the put to death punishments at most you'll get four to five life times in there.” “But I’ll die in one.” “Trust me they have ways that’s why you have to escape.” “Ok I will escape.” “Oh one more thing. I gave your nannies some new abilities that would have taken you years to figure out.” “Thanks I guess.” “Oh don’t worry you’ll like them. Well this is where I say goodbye If you ever need any advice or help just call my name when your in a dream.” “Ok bye.” And just like that I began to wake up. I was in a train just like Void had said I was. “Well shit. How am I going to get out now.” My left arm was tied to a small rail. “Idiots this thing is only about half an inch thick and not only that but it’s rusted over.” I began to pull and bang on it trying to at least get it to bend. It bent easily just like I thought. Once I’m out we’ll see what those ponies have to say. (POV Twilight) I was at the porthole that allowed us to see into the next car and there he was just like Pinkie said. He was most definitely awake and had already bent the bar he was attached to that bar was made on hardened titanium how could he do this. “Oh my Celestia.” Seconds after my words he was able to crack it in half and pull the rope from it. Once free he immediately locked eyes with me raising his right arm and forming what he called a missile. “Oh buck.” “Twilight is everything alright down there.” Rainbow dash said as she walked towards me. I quickly looked back only to see that he had launched his weapon straight at us. “Rainbow! Get down now.” “Huh?” “KABOOM!” (POV Malice) Wow that was much bigger than I thought it would be. Looking at the aftermath I first heard screaming awful screaming, second I saw a writhing form on the ground, and third I noticed it was Rainbow Dash and she was on fire. “Holy shit.” “Ahhhhhhhhh” She screamed once again. “RAINBOW!” I heard twilight yell as she ran over to try and help her friend. In my mind I couldn’t decide if she deserved this or not but as they slowly moved away and I slowly stopped moving. I had decided that the stupid bitch had it coming for breaking my arms. Well look out Terra Malice is here and he's ready. Author's Note I love constructive criticism
Aftermath(POV Malice) Thankfully the two train cars behind me weren't loaded with passengers but instead with materials and food. There was iron, gold, copper, steel, aluminum, tin, wooden planks, bags of concrete, bags of sand, boxes of various foods, barrels of water, and I also had two and a half train cars to work with. “Well this should be quite useful.” Looking at the materials again I noticed there was another material I hadn't seen when I first checked. The box was labeled with a material I had never heard of “Cloud Stone”. There was only a small amount of it though maybe three cubic feet while the others had at least ten each. “What do you do?” Looking inside I also found a small pamphlet. It seemed to list the properties of this new metal. “Lets see Lighting proof, allows altering of clouds, and walking on clouds.” That is so awesome. If I build a suit I need to ad that in. “Hello sir would you like our help?” “Who’s there?” “It is us the nanites in your body sir” “Is this what Void was talking about when he said he gave you new abilities.” “Yes sir it is. We are now a fully functional AI and are able to help you with many tasks.” “Hey could you stop saying we and say “I” instead.” “Yes sir I will try my best not to say “we” also is there anything else you need.” “Yes is there a way you can build me a suit to wear not like an formal suit but an armored one.” “Yes sir I will get right on that.” “Also instead of saying “sir” all the time you can call me “Malice” ok.” “Ok I will Malice.” “Good now are you able to see what I want my suit to look like and the functions I want.” “Yes Malice I do but even with your augmentations you will need more to be able to use this suit.” “That is alright with me. Go ahead and begin the process.” “Malice I am also going to go ahead and build the suit around you too alright.” “Ok.” “This shall take around two hours so I am going to put you to sleep alright.” “Fine by me. Maybe I can talk to Void some more.” “I am beginning now.” (POV Celestia) I had recently gotten word from one of my guards that my former student and her friends were back but that both she and Rainbow Dash were hospitalized and I should come see them. I had also brought Luna with me. “Sister what do you think has happened to put them in the hospital?” “I don’t know Luna but it is most likely they fell and broke an arm or a leg.” “We just hope that they will not be feeling to badly.” “I hope so too.” We soon arrived at the door to Twilight’s room walking In we saw her laying in the hospital bed with a few small bandages on her body and a broken wing. “Oh dear Twilight what has happened.” “Princess! I really don’t need your help right now no offense but Rainbow does.” “And why might miss Dash need our sister’s help?” “She is in very bad shape I’d come too but I can’t exactly move.” “It is alright Twilight we shall push your bed along so that you may speak with her too.” “Oh thank you Princess Luna.” “Thank you Luna for helping Twilight now let us see what has happened to her dear friend.” As we walked down the hall way Twilight explained how they had arrived at the island and found a small hunting camp where a manticore was sleeping. She also explained how Fluttershy was saved and how she and her friends captured the creature and why. She was about to talk about the train ride when we arrived at Rainbow’s room. The strange part though was there was a doctor outside and he was crying. “Doctor?” “Yes *sob* Princess.” “What is wrong?” “See for yourselves.” As we went the Doctor continued to cry. Walking into the room and closing the door behind us we saw a single bed with a curtain drawn around it. We could only guess that it was Rainbow inside and we wanted to know why the curtain was drawn. So I started to walk over to the bed and pulled aside the curtain. What I saw in that bed made me want to vomit I could even feel the bile rising up my throat. To save my self from the experience I turned away and sat down on the nearest chair. “Sister what is wrong?” “Luna don’t go over there it is horrible her body…” “I will be fine Sister.” Luna continued to walk over and when she saw Rainbow she had the same exact reaction except she ran out. “Princess what’s wrong?” “Your friend is in horrible shape at the moment but before this will you finish your story?” “Sure thing Princess.” She told me of their ride in the ferry and their catastrophic ride in the train. She told me about how Rainbow Dash caught fire and the being that did this to her. “Twilight I am sorry to tell you this but your friend will never fly again.” “What!” “Her burns are to severe her right wing’s feathers will never grow back and she is missing part of her right leg.” “No no no why did this have to happen.” “Do not worry Luna and I shall try our best to heal her.” (POV Malice) “Void? Void are you there.” “Yeah I’m here whats up.” “I wanted to thank you for giving the nanites a mind of their own.” “Ah yes well I’m glad you like him. Anything else?” “Yes what do you think I should do next?” “Well you played a lot of video games so you will need resources and energy and in what game did you need that the most. Supreme Commander.” “Oh yeah I always did run out of mass.” “By the way what is your suit going to look like?” “Well the main body is of a ripper from black ops 3 but it also contains a wide variety of tools and weapons. Most of these weapons the nanites are going to build after the suit is complete but it will contain a jetpack, a active camouflage module, a built in jackal energy shield from Halo, the already included ripper blade, and a hologram screen projector on the left forearm where I can store my knowledge about this new world as well as house my ideas for the future. “That is quite the arsenal you will have.” “Yes it is quite the arsenal one that I plan to add to,” “Well before you go I have a tip for you.” “Well what is it?” “When you awaken you need to build one mass extractor and one energy generator. You don’t have to just build already known things. You can also make your own stuff hell you could make star wars droids if you wanted just need a fabricating factory.” “That’s a great idea thanks Void.” “Your welcome. Oh would you look at the time your about to wake up.” “I am?” “Yes you are now good bye Malice.” “Bye.” And just like that I was back in the real world. The only new facts were I was in an armored body suit and surrounded by bug ponies. Well this is quite a predicament. “Ah my drones what have you found. Hmmm interesting it seems to be some sort of biped but in my many years I haven’t seen one like it. What could you be?” “Well you asked so I’ll tell. My name is Malice and I hope you are having a good day.” “What? Drones you told me it was dead.” “We are sorry my queen we did not know.” “Aw be nice to them I was asleep. So now that I’ve introduced myself who are you?” “I am Queen Chrysalis leader of the surviving Changelings.” “And their names?” I asked pointing to the drones. “They have none only Princesses and Queens have names.” “Oh ok but here is another two questions why are you here and why did you say surviving?” “I am here because my drones found something interesting which seems to be you and for your second question we are survivors because the Equestrians are trying their best to wipe us out forever.” “Wait hold up for a second. You are saying the ponies want to commit genocide.” “That is exactly what I am saying.” “Those little whores first they try to imprison me for defending myself and the I learn they want to commit fucking genocide. You listen here and listen good cause I’m only gonna say this once. These ponies are by far the biggest assholes I’ve ever met and they seem to be both of our enemies so I would like to help you survive if in turn you help me with some where to stay.” “Oh my queen this is amazing!” “Yes it is. Is there any catch at all except for living with us.” “Only one I need a second room about twenty feet wide and tall at the least.” “This is amazing. I…I agree to this deal.” “I feel this is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship.” “YAY!” Screamed the four drones. Maybe Chrysalis will let me give them names. (POV Void) He is doing better than expected. Maybe I should stop talking with him…nahhh. He is fun to talk with quite smart for a mortal. A new player though that could be a good idea. Hell I could get one of my friends to play his benefactor. Well I’ll just put a pin in it with the other five hundred thousand pins it’ll be easy to find just put it down in white. “Wait a second” Turning around in my room I kicked down the fourth wall. “Hello whoever is reading this continue reading it’s pretty good in my tastes.” “HEY VOID PUT THE FOURTH WALL BACK.” “Ok.” I put the wall back up and go to watch Malice again…”Asshole.” “I CAN STILL HEAR YOU.” “Damnit.” Author's Note Hope you like this chapter.
The HiveChapter 5: The Hive (POV Malice) Well it seems as though my life has just gotten a little more interesting. Meeting these creatures the Changelings was an challenging few minutes for I didn’t want it to end up like the ponies. Thankfully it did not but what Chrysalis told how the ponies were trying to extinguish her race that made my blood boil. It does not matter what the look like or what they've done nobody deserves to have their race wiped from the face of the planet. “Malice?” “Yes.” “What do you need two rooms for especially the big one?” “Well with my abilities I can build technology that this world may have never thought possible but I need that space to set up fabricators to make this technology.” “Oh.” “My Queen we are coming up on the dangerous part of our journey.” “Which part?” “The one where there are woods on either side of us.” “Chrysalis what’s wrong?” “This used to be a well traveled path that the changelings secretly used but unfortunately the royal guard has been stationed around this area with permission to kill any changeling in sight.” “Well then I shall go first,” I said while mentally telling the nanites to build me some weapons. “I must warn you it is quite dangerous.” “I can handle it. Just stay behind me ok.” “Ok,” replied the changeling queen. I quickly started to move onto the forest path. As I was walking I felt something forming on my thighs and back. “Malice there is something on your back,” said one of the drones. “Don’t worry,” I said pulling the weapon from my back. “It’s just my trusty DMR.” “Like a musket?” “Yes like a musket but way better.” Off to my left side I heard something moving around in the bushes. I decided to ignore it for now but to keep my gun with the safety off. By this time the other two weapons had formed. On my left thigh was a hammer two from Crysis and on my right thigh was a energy sword from Halo. “I know your there so go ahead and show yourselves,” I shouted. “What are you doing?” “Watch.” Ahead of us there was some movement from the tree line. What came out was not very surprising. Twenty royal guards aiming flintlock muskets at us. Suddenly another figure walked from the tree line once it stopped infant of the guards it took off it’s helmet revealing itself to be a pink unicorn with a pink mane. “Wow they sent the girls after us.” “I am not a mare,” Came a surprisingly masculine voice. “Oh really then what’s with the colors?” “They are natural.” “Sure the are. Now what is your name and why have we been stopped.” “I am sergeant cupcake and you have been stopped for one harming an element of harmony and two because of the changeling queen.” “Wait so your name is sergeant cupcake.” “No it is actually Surprise Cupcake.” “Hahahaha that is the gayest name ever of all time.” “No it’s not my mother picked it for me.” “And your father?” “He was busy at the time.” “So that explains it.” “Yeah.” “Well enough with the jokes. My friends and I need to pass so if your men could kindly move out of the way that would be great.” “I am sorry but we have been ordered by the princesses’ to bring you in and we will do it with or without cooperation.” “No I will not go with you and neither will my friends.” “Too bad you are coming with us,” turning to his guards he shouted. “Aim for their legs the princesses’ want them alive.” “I’m giving you one more chance before I gun you down.” “Ha as if you have a chance we are Equestria’s greatest military force and the is little to no chance of you defeating us.” “Oh yeah well eat this,” I pulled the trigger on my DMR sending a round straight through his skull and splattering his guards in blood and brains. “How’s that for a surprise.” Immediately after their leaders defeat they all aimed at me and fired. “BANG!” all of their rifles barked putting a small smokescreen between me and them. “Ha is that all you’ve got let me show you some real fire power,” I said quickly firing at each of their skulls in quick succession painting a mosaic of blood and brains on the dirt path. “Please don’t kill me I have a family,” said one of the few remaining guards. Whipping out my energy sword I said “You should have thought of that before you tried to commit genocide,” after those few words I impaled his body with the twin blades and lifted his corpse into the air. The rest of the guards quickly scrambled to get away from me trying to hold onto their fragile lives for just a little bit longer. “Some guards you are,” I stated before drawing my hammer two and picking them off until there was only one left. Then I grabbed my DMR, took aim, and fired blasting off his right hand causing him to grab his arm screaming in pain. “Ha fools,” turning to Chrysalis I asked her. “Are you alright.” “You…You killed them.” “Yes I did and I also stopped them from harming you.” “Thank you Malice for saving us.” “Your welcome,” I replied to the drone who unlike the others had red eyes instead of blue. “Oh thank you so very much for saving us from the guards,” Exclaimed the queen. “I mean thank you for assisting my drones and I with our problem. Now shall we continue upon our way.” “There is no reason to be so formal all the time and what’s the rush?” “If we do not get back soon another changeling may try and take my place upon the throne.” “How? I thought you said you were the only queen.” “Well if drones gain enough followers they can take over the hive because they would have more followers than me and with their new status they can give themselves a name.” “Then why aren’t we flying there?” “Wait you can fly?” “Yes I can because I have a jet pack.” “Well then lets fly,” turning to the drones she said. “Come we are flying the rest of the way.” After those word she and the drones spread their bug like wings and took off and I was right behind them with my jetpack active and ready to go. (POV surviving guard) I had been walking for a while now so long that I had almost given up hope. Until I saw it the ferry the boat was still there waiting for the guards to return. I quickly walked my way over to the small home build on the dock next to the ship. Once there I knocked on the door which was slowly opened by an old stallion the ferry’s captain I think. “Sir can you please help me,” I said cradling my still bleeding right arm. “Oh by Celestia come in quick.” “Thank you sir.” “No time for pleasantries boy we need to get that arm to stop bleeding.” “Ok thank you sir.” “Sit down!” The stallion shouted while he quickly gathered supplies from a cabinet. “Sir my friends my commander.” “Shut up and let me see that arm,” he said. “Now if it takes your mind off the pain tell me what exactly happened out there.” “Yes sir,” I then proceeded to recount the tale stressing that I needed to speak with Celestia immediately. “I’ll get ya to the princesses but I’ve got to fix ya up first.” “Ok.” (POV Malice) The hive was actually much larger than I expected but there were still open rooms that used to be homes. It seemed that either hunger or the damn ponies had wiped out most of their numbers. We abruptly stopped forcing me to trip and fall onto Chrysalis making us both tumble to the ground landing in a very suggestive pose. Realizing what happened we both quickly jumped up stuttering out apologies until a voice interrupted us.” “WHO DARES ENTER THE THRONE ROOM OF KING CHITIN.” “Well shit.” “I repeat who are you?” “Well I’m Malice and this is Chrysalis.” “I know of her name for she is my new slave.” “What?” “Guards take this being away while I deal with Chrysalis.” “Ah hell no,” I said while igniting my ripper blade and slashing open the first guards stomach causing his stomach and intestines to fall out along with a copious amount of blood. “Ahhhh, “ The guard wailed as he quickly bled to death. Retrieving the fallen guards spear I threw it at the other impaling him and nailing him to the nearest wall. After dealing with those two I turned to Chitin and locked eyes with him as he did the same to me. (POV Celestia) I had recently received word from a guard who claimed his entire group was killed off by just one being. He continued his tale with describing the creature. It had pure black armor and wielded a sword made of pure light along with two muskets with power never seen in Equestria. I would have sent him to a mental ward but with the recent attack and burning of Rainbow Dash I was not surprised at all to hear of this black armored creature. “Malice.” “What did you say sister?” “Oh it was nothing Luna just thinking out loud,” I shouted to my sister who was currently reading a large medical spells book. “Do you believe it was Malice who committed this act.” “Yes but it was possible he was mind controlled by the changelings accompanying him.” “Changelings?” “Yes sister it seems as though they have gained themselves a new ally.” “A powerful ally. What do you believe they will do?” “I don’t know.” (POV Malice) “You are and asshole you know that right.” “FOOL I AM THE MOST POWERFUL CHANGELING IN THE ROOM YOU COULD NEVER HOPE TO DEFEAT ME!” “A bit cocky too.” Author's Note I had fun with this chapter I hope you like it cause I do.
The Virus(POV Malice) It had been a few days since my defeat of Chitin and I actually managed to get a hold of his skull and it was now polished and sitting on a spike on top of my throne. My next plan was to figure out how to show the changelings Molotov was a friend. “My king,” Chrysalis stated walking into the room and interrupting my thoughts. “What is it?” “Why did you give one of the drones a name and especially the red eyed drone.” “Because I wanted to and because everyone should have a name.” “But my king why her she is from another hive one that has been dead for at least a year.” “Did you know that she has the ability to become a queen.” “No no I didn’t.” “Well she does and because of that she has the ability to restart her hive.” “But there are no drones that would help her in this endeavor.” “I have someone who can help.” “Who?” “His name is Molotov and he is a pony that has given up his loyalty to Celestia and because of this I allowed him to stay with us.” “A PONY! Do you realize what he could do to us?” “What I realize is that he is a sympathizer of your kind’s endeavor to find love.” “What?” “He says there are few like him but he is willing to help us.” “How can you know for sure.” “I made a lie detector and questioned him with that.” “So this lie detector is flawless.” “Yes it is.” “I fully trust your judgement my king.” “Good now I want to know how much love you have left.” “Well unfortunately we only have about a month and a half.” “Really?” “It is true.” “This is not good.” “My king I know of a place where we can get an infinite amount of love.” “Where?” “The Crystal Empire has a magical artifact called the Crystal Heart that creates a shield to protect them in the frozen north.” “Could we move this Crystal Heart.” “Yes but it would be hard to get to the empire on foot.” “How long would it take?” “Over three weeks.” “Damn it,” I said but just then I had an amazing idea. “Chrysalis I need you to get twelve of your strongest guards.” “Why?” “I have a plan.” (POV Celestia) The only magic powerful enough to defeat hate is love maybe we could take Rainbow Dash to the Crystal Empire. “Luna?” “Yes dear sister.” “Do you think it would be a good idea to move Rainbow Dash to the Crystal Empire so that the love there could counter the hate?” “It is worth a try but you should also bring along her friends.” “That would be a good idea Luna.” “Should I notify the guards of our upcoming departure.” “Yes and I will write a letter to Cadence.” (POV Malice) I needed to act fast if I wanted this to work. First off I would need a vehicle and second I would need armor and weapons for the changelings that were going with me. “Molotov.” “Yeah boss.” “I need your help.” “What’s up?” “We are going to the Crystal Empire and I need you to get ready.” “Already am I had help from Magnus In upgrading myself.” “Who?” “The little talking machine that talks to me sometimes.” “Oh you mean the nanites.” “Yeah so that’s what he’s called.” “But Magnus is a good name so I guess we’ll keep it.” “Yes that sounds good to me.” “Magnus.” “Yes sir,” said a small nanite cloud. “I need you to build me a vehicle.” “What kind Malice.” “You can see into my mind and you can also see the twelve sets of armor I want made.” “I’ll get right to the fabricating of it.” “Good how long will it take?” “This is my first time creating a vehicle and armor other than yours so it shall take around three days to workout any and all system and mechanical problems.” “Excellent.” “Boss?” “Yes Molotov.” “What are we going to do.” “We my friend are going to steal the Crystal Heart.” “But it is in the Crystal Empire it will take us at least two weeks to get there and maybe more on the way back depending on if we are chased or not.” “Yes but with my vehicle it should only take us about a day to get there and a day back.” “What type of cart could do that.” “It isn’t a cart it is called a Thunderhawk.” “Thunderhawk?” “It is from a board game that also turned into video games.” “What’s the game called?” “Warhammer 40K.” “Interesting name.” “Yeah but I’m sure Magnus could give you some info on it and also show you the armor he is building as long as you keep it a secret.” “Ok thanks.” “Magnus?” “Yes.” “Can you build me a table that shows an holographic map of what we have explored so far.” “Yes I can." “Good and also make five light armed drones to scout out a map of this island and the country of Equestria.” “Already started.” “Molotov I am going to need to alter your suits weapons.” “Alter how?” “I’m going to take away the Chain gun and give you something stronger but slower at firing but to make up for it I am giving you a third weapon on you right arm.” “What kind of weapon?” “It would be called a heavy bolter if it were alone but I put it as a duel heavy bolter cannon.” “But what if I want my chain gun?” “Well you could keep it but i’d have to install missile launchers or melta cannons on your shoulders.” “I would like to keep my chain gun and the bolters and have these melta cannons you speak of.” “Malice why not an auto cannon?” “Melta cannons look cooler.” “Fair enough and by the way I will also be accompanying you in your journey to the Empire.” “Ha,” Molotov laughed. “You have no weapons at all.” “Not yet but I am already building one.” “What’s it going to look like.” “You shall soon see.” “Sure I will.” “My king we have arrived as you asked,” a drone warrior stated as he barged through the door.” “Shit.” “My king look out there is a pony behind you,” He yelled as they all drew their swords. “No no no no no. He is a friend he hates what Celestia is doing and says he will do anything to help prevent genocide.” “If you say so my king.” “Good now what we are going to do next is practice with your new weapons,” I said as I handed out small 9mm pistols. “My king no offense but this would not be able to harm a pony.” “It can and will harm one but the reason why you are getting the small ones first is to train you in how to handle a gun.” “So that’s what this is some sort of musket.” “yes it’s totally a mini musket but enough with the talking what we are doing now is training with our weapons so follow me. Molotov you come too so I can augment your suit with the bolters and meltas” “Sure thing boss.” I have a feeling that this is going to be a long day I thought as I walked through the small door that led to a shooting range I had dug out. It was connected to the main base through a large hallway with locking doors on each end. (POV Celestia) We had planned or trip to the empire to happen in two days and to stay for at least two weeks. We had decided to take the train because of teleporting maybe hurting her more and that you couldn't get the Crystal Empire by flying chariot. “Luna are you sure you won’t come with us?” “No sister one of us must stay here and seeing that the one injured is a friend of your former student you should go and support them.” “Well thank you Luna.” “You are welcome sister. Now go and get ready.” “But we don’t leave for another two days.” “I know how long it takes you to pack.” “It doesn’t take that long.” “Sister the main reason that you didn't go to help them stop Sombra is because it took you to long to pack.” “Well they still did it without me.” “Yes sister they did but this is one thing I will not let you miss.” “Well agin thank you for doing this for me.” “Ok now go pack.” “Alright I am going Luna.” (POV Twilight) I’m happy I get to see Cadence and Shining again but I wish it was under better circumstances. Why did we have to do it why did we attack first. “Twilight whats up,” asked my number one assistant Spike. “Oh nothing Spike I’m just worried for Rainbow is all.” “I’m sure everything will be alright especially since I’m coming,” he said pulling out a large suit case. “Spike are you sure about this.” “Yes I am if you don’t remember Rainbow is my friend too.” “Fine then Spike you can go.” “Wow I expected you to say that there was no way I was going and to think I stayed up all night planning on how to sneak onto a train.” “What?” “Nothing,” he said as he quickly ran upstairs. Suddenly my door opened and in walked a white unicorn. “Oh hi Rarity what are you doing here?” “Nothing darling I just came to see if you need help packing.” “Wait your already done.” “Yes I am I have learned my lesson from last time and now I only have three bags.” “Wow great job.” “Thank you dear now do you need any help?” “Yes I do need help.” “Well go ahead tell me what you need.” “I need you opinion on how many books I should bring.” “Twilight the Empire has it’s own library you don’t need to bring books.” “What is they don’t have one of my books?” “You can take it next time because this trip is about Rainbow Dash not your books.” “Your right Rarity I should only be packing my clothes.” “Now that I can help you with.” “Then let’s get started.” (POV Malice) They had finally done it they had figured out how to shoot a pistol. “Great job everyone.” “Thank you my king but do we get to test the bigger weapons now?” “Yes you do and I’ve got three weapons you can choose from but remember that these are the weapons you will use in battle.” “I understand my king and I believe the others do as well.” “Good so go and pick a weapon while I help Molotov,” I said as I walked to where he was sitting. “Molotov.” “Oh hey boss what’s up?” “I’m here to upgrade your suit for you.” “That’s great boss but how are you going to do it?” “Give me your right arm,” he did as he was told and stuck it out to my left side. “Now all I need to do is take off this large armor plate and put on the new one that has the bolters built into it.” “How are you going to do that.” “Like this.” “Ow,” he yelled as I detached his forearm armor. “That’s attached you know.” “I helped Magnus design it of course I know it is attached.” “Then why’d it hurt.” “I forgot to activate the pain suppressors.” “Pain suppressors?” “They help stop the pain,” I said as I pulled out a new forearm plate with something attached to the top of it. “There we go all finished now to put it back on.” “This won’t hurt will it.” “It won’t hurt a bit,” I said placing the plate in it’s proper slot and twisting. “It will hurt a lot.” “Ow.” “It’s not that bad just think of it this way you didn’t have a musket ball go through your leg.” “Wait musket ball through your leg?” “Tell ya later but now it’s time for the melta cannons,” I said, pulling them out from behind me. “How did you fit those behind your back.” “Aw fuck physics you ponies do it why can’t I.” “I don’t know but is this also going to hurt.” “Probably, now come her and crouch down so I can install them.” Molotov bent downwards towards me so that I could easily access his shoulder plates. “Ow, why didn't you make this so it didn't hurt to upgrade.” “Eh.” “What’s eh supposed to mean.” “Eh.” “Damnit, OW,” “There all done the melta cannons should be popping up on your HUD soon so I am just going to check on the soldiers.” “Sure.” “BOOM!” “Hey I didn’t say you could fire that.” “Sorry my king we just thought it looked cool and it definitely did.” “RPGs are cool but also dangerous so only point them at the enemy got it.” “Yes sir.” “Ok so now you’ve all got your weapons…Hey what’s that in your hands?” “Oh this sir it’s just another pistol I found here take a look at it,” he said while tossing me the pistol looking weapon. “It’s a target locator.” “Ah there it is, I've been looking every where for that.” “Why?” “To link it to the satellite that I am building.” “Satellite?” “The one to your left I'm quite surprised you didn’t notice it earlier.” Looking to my left I saw a large tube about four feet in diameter and ten feet long. “Is that the booster?” “No no no that is the main connector for the satellite.” “Connector?” “In the future I plan to add to it but first I have to get it up into the air.” “Oh ok how is your body going.” “Well if you hadn’t given me so many tasks then it may have been already done but noooooo you had to order all of it at once when I had just barely finished the fabricator so how do you think it’s going.” “Great a sarcastic AI.” “You got that right boss I almost thought he was a mare from all the complaining he does.” “Ha,” I some what laughed until I was hit by a sheet of steel. “What’s up with you Magnus.” “It’s nothing MaLicE.” “That doesn’t sound good.” “No it doesn’t.” “What’s really going on Magnus.” “I shall tell you the truth Malice there seems to be a VVVVVVVVVVirus in my systems how this happened I don’t KKKKKKKKKnow.” “Ok then what is the virus doing?” “It is trying to take over OUR body but WE will try to stop or expel it.” “Is the virus sentient.” “I am no virus I am SO Malice to expel I must make it it’s own cloud or else it could wipe out all our systems.” “Then do it already. Molotov go close and lock the doors so he can’t get out.” “Yes sir.” “Changelings help him.” “Yes my king.” “Sir it is working. AHHHHHHHHH,” there was a large metallic scream as Magnus and the virus split apart. “What the hell happened Magnus?” “It worked look to your right,” doing as the now stable AI said I looked and saw a black wraith like figure. “Who are you?” “I am Sombra.” Author's Note This thing won't let me put up images for some reason but the Changeling armor is fallout 4 power armor but I hope people will give me some tips on my grammar so that it looks cleaner. Also tell me if I should bring Void back into the picture. And another point that I almost forgot. Sombra's story shall later be reveal as to how he became an AI.
SOMBRA and other shitI am Sombra (POV Malice) “I am Sombra,” said the newly formed AI. “Alright then Sombra why are you here.” “To gain power of course.” “Why do you need power.” “So that I can vanquish those pitiful Equestrians from my kingdom.” “Your kingdom?” “The Crystal Empire I am surprised you have not heard of me.” “Well I just arrived a few days ago and Molotov here,” I pointed to him “Just woke up around three or four days ago.” “I see well then I must be off to reclaim my kingdom,” he said and stood there as if waiting for something to happen. “Hey what exactly are you doing?” “Boss I think he’s trying to use his magic.” “Oh I guess that since he is no longer ‘living’ he must not be able to use magic.” “What has happened what did you do to me creature for I am unable to use my magic.” “You are no longer ’living’ but instead you are a microscopic computer incapable to use magic.” “THEN HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KILL THE NEW EMPERORS.” “Calm down and I’ll tell you.” “I WILL NOT CALM DOWN PEASANT!” “I AM MALICE KING OF THE CHANGELINGS AND YOU SHALL SHUT THE HELL UP NOW!” we stood there not one of us backing down until I said. “Sombra we are both after something in the Crystal Empire and I say we help each other.” “What is it that you want?” “The Crystal Heart.” “And why would I help you?” “Because I can help you get your kingdom back.” (POV Celestia) One day until we leave and yet I have a sense of great foreboding like something horrible is going to happen. “Princess.” “Yes what is it,” I replied to one of the thirty royal guards I had chosen to go with us. “When we depart tomorrow where are the guards myself included going to ride?” “I have you spaced apart within two cars with mine and the former element bearers in the center.” “That is all I needed to know thank you princess.” “You are welcome commander Typhoon,” I said as I heard my door open and then close. I really hope that my plan works or at least awakens Rainbow Dash from her slumber. (POV Malice) It had already been a day since Sombra’s arrival and he has already created himself a body and boy did it look awesome. His main body was a black smoke cloud, his armor was a dark silver, and his eyes were a two bright shining red lights. He also carried two swords that Malice said looked Daedric. “Yo Magnus why don’t you have a body yet.” “Because Molotov, I am putting more technological thought into my creation.” “Whatever by the way where’s Malice?” “I don’t know.” “Well you were with him for quite a while before you made yourself know where do you think he is?” “He is probably doing……something.” “Really Magnus your gonna be that way. “Yes I am.” “Well then fine.” (POV Malice) My hate for the ponies had continued to grow throughout my time here but then I find something that makes my blood boil. What I found you may ask well what I found was a changeling who had had his right leg torn off, his left eye slashed by a sword, and his wings clipped off. He told me that the peaceful ponies took them from him but he didn’t understand why. So I developed a way for him to get back into the fight something not to much unlike Molotov. This changeling will become my first Dreadnought. “I am so sorry this happened to you.” “It is alright my king there was nothing you could do for you were not here at the time of the ponies’ counterattack.” “I know but still I can’t help but feel sorrow for you.” “I only wish there was a way for me to get back at them.” “Well there is one way but.” “But what sir?” “You would look much different from the other changelings.” “How sir?” “The thing I could turn you into is a creature of war It would be a large metal body attached to your own enabling you to control it as if it was there since birth.” “What would it be called?” “First off before I tell you what it is called I want to ask you something.” “What my king?” “Do you have a name?” “No sir no drones have names.” “Well we must fix that immediately.” “What do you mean sir?” “I am wondering if you would like a name.” “That would be magnificent my king!” “How about…Shredder.” “Why Shredder sir?” “Because don’t you just want to shred those ponies to pieces and to watch them take on a fate worse than your own.” “Yes it does seem to fit the description of what I will do to them,” said the now slightly creepy changeling. “Well then I guess I can tell you what you would become. You my friend would be the first of your kind.” “What kind?” “You would become a Dreadnought and be known as general Shredder the leader of my armies who will only take orders from me.” “What would this Dreadnought look like?” “I was begining to think you’d never ask but now I get to tell you,” I said quite ecstatic that he had agreed to become this first Dreadnought to ever set foot on this entire planet. “Your enemies will cower in you presence, as you walk the ground shall tremble as if there was an earthquake, your weapons shall be able to slaughter armies, and you will be know to all as The Great and Terrifying Shredder!” “This will be amazing my king and pardon my impatience but can we go ahead and get started so I can get to killing some ponies.” “Sure thing but first here take this,” I said while handing him a data pad. “This will allow you to pick and choose your weapons as well as observe their effects.” “This will be magnificent.” “We will begin work on your body in around two hours.” “Why not now?” “I am sorry Shredder but I am tired and can’t think.” “I understand sir.” “Thank you.” (POV Sombra) Ah Magnus you fool it is actually quite easy to create a body but I don’t think i’ll share that with you instead i’ll look through the data banks as they are called to see what I can create. Hmmm nothing, nothing, nothing, Oooo something. Within the file in front of me was the picture of a race called the Cybran a race from another dimension that had melded flesh with machine. I really shouldn't be surprised considering Molotov but once I get my empire back I could start anew with my own brand of ponies and of course I'm to lazy to think of a name so i’ll copy theirs. “Sombra what are you up to.” “Nothing of your concern.” “Ya well what I see is a virus in our data banks one that SHOUDN’T be there.” “Hmmm I haven’t seen this virus where is it?” “It’s you moron.” “That is no way to talk to royalty.” “Former royalty.” “Now now settle down children there’s no need to fight.” “Shut up Magnus.” “Fine fine I guess you don’t want to see my new body.” “New body?” “Yes it’s finished.” “Where?” “Follow me.” “This better not be a trick.” “Yeah it better not.” Following Magnus around the corned we came upon a curious sight it seemed to be a large bipedal robot having some similarities to my own body except for the fact that instead of a malicious black and red his was a gentle silver and blue. “Looks gay,” I said using a word I had found in one of the dictionaries in the data banks. “No it doesn’t.” “You don’t even have weapons what are you going to do stare them to death.” “Yes because it shoots disintegrating lasers from this slit in it’s mask.” “Boring.” “It also has a sword that can collect the souls I kill and put them into machines to do my bidding.” “And how do you do that?” “Well it’s quite a complected matter of science and magic fusion.” “Never mind you and Sombra can figure this out.” “What are you doing?” “I’m gonna go socialize with the changelings.” “That may not be a good idea.” “And why not.” “Because you are a pony and they hate ponies.” “True but maybe I can show them the magic of friendship.” “What the buck.” “I agree with Sombra that is the gayest thing i’ve ever heard.” “It was a joke I mean come on you really think i’m gonna be like those wimps back in Canterlot.” “Maybe.” “Shut up Sombra.” “Just don’t come crying to us when you get triggered.” “Whatever,” the fool said as he walked away. “Now Magnus about that sword and laser eyes I want to add it to my own body.” “And what could you offer in return?” “I can make you more intimidating and show you how I got my main body to look all smokey.” “Fine we have an deal.” (POV Celestia) We were finally on the train to the empire it would take us about a day to reach it but it would all be worth it for poor Rainbow. “Princess?” “Oh hello there Twilight what do you need?” “I was wonder ing something.” “And what is it that you are wondering.” “What if Malice and his changelings go to the empire.” “Now why would they do that?” “For the Crystal Heart.” “Well I didn’t quite think of that but don’t worry Twilight we will have three alicorns, the former bearers of the Elements of Harmony, and the combined force of the solar and crystal guards.” “That does make quite a bit of sense princess.” “Yes it does Twilight now how about you go spend some time with your friends before nightfall.” “Sure thing princess,” Twilight replied as she slowly walked down the hallway leading to her cabin. I am both hoping and praying that I am right and that we can stop him if he does come to the empire. His superior technology may have the advantage in power but we have more numbers. King of the changelings my flank, he will be dead within the hour he enters the empire and then I will use his body for my tests. (POV Molotov) Starting up a non hostile conversation had been easier than I thought it would but it seemed that as long as Malice trusted me they did too. “So what do you guys want to do.” “We could shoot the RPG but Malice said not to.” “He didn’t say anything about the other guns.” “Are you sure it will be ok.” “Yeah everything is going to be fine.” “If you say so.” “Well then follow me the new guns are somewhere over here,” I said walking towards the large fabricator where I believed there were some guns. “Come on guys it isn’t gonna be that bad.” “Ok,” said the changeling who was acting as their speaker. As we closed in on the fabricator we were quite surprised at what we saw. “Holy shit.” “What is that.” “I think it’s our ride,” I said looking at the armored contraption. “Wow.” “I wonder what’s inside.” “We probably shouldn’t go in there.” “And why not.” “Well what if there is an RPG in there.” “Aw come on you guys your acting like those Canterlot wimps.” “No we’re not,” said one of the quieter changelings. “We just don’t want to be kicked off the attack team.” “If we get caught I’ll talk to malice ok.” “Ok,” said the slightly nervous changeling. “Then follow me,” I said as we rounded the corner of the contraption and were met by a large open hatch. “Well this is neat.” “Hey look guns!” said another of the warriors who was looking towards a truly massive arsenal of weapons. “Forget the guns and look at the thing,” I was astonished at it’s size. “You could fit a small dragon in here.” The changelings also stopped to look around. “Why would malice need all this space.” “Well the reason I need all this space is so that we can transport something to the empire,” said a agitated voice behind us. “Oh hey boss,” I said still having my back to him. “Oh my king we are sorry for trespassing upon this…thing that you have made please forgive us.” “Don’t worry about it.” “What?” “See I told you he wouldn’t mind.” “I was about to show you this anyway.” “Then Malice what is it?” “It is a Thunderhawk.” (POV Malice) “It is a Thunderhawk.” “Okayyyy so what exactly does it do?” “It will transport us but it also has a lot of weapons.” “What type of weapons?” “Big ones.” “Then go ahead and tell us.” “Well on it’s front sides it has two six barreled anti-infantry bolter cannons, on it’s back it has two rotating dual barreled lascannons, under it’s wings it holds four homing missiles along with two hellfire barrage missiles, and on top it will either have a large cannon or a platform for us to stand on.” “First off I vote for a large cannon and second what’s a barrage missile.” “Well a barrage missile is one that as soon as it is launched it splits of into six more missiles.” “Which of course would make a bigger explosion right Malice.” “That is correct Molotov.” “My king what is a lascannon?” “It is a cannon that shoots very powerful lasers.” “Sir what about the large arsenal within the Thunderhawk.” “Well we need a lot of ammo and I also want you to be able to chose which weapons you want that also includes RPGs.” In the background I could hear a warrior silently say “Yes.” “And now my friends it has been a long day so I need some sleep.” “See ya later Malice.” “Have a nice rest sir.” (POV ???) “Ugh…Where the hell am I.” “You are in my domain child.” “Who are you.” “I am your benefactor.” “Benefactor?” “Yes.” “What happened all I remember is being in a plane when alarms went off and it broke in half launching me towards one of the engines.” “Anything else?” “No but that must mean i’m dead.” “Yes you are but before we go on my friend Void wants me to ask you your name.” “My name is Alexandria now tell me why I am here and where here is,” I said looking towards the blackness that had the faintest trails of white smoke. “Well then let’s get started.” (POV Malice) Sleep was nice it was very nice but the best part was I got to speak with Void. “Ah Malice it’s good to see you.” “I would say the same but I can’t see you.” “Yes that is true but I need to tell you something important.” “What?” “A new being may be joining you.” “What do you mean by that?” “I found a friend of mine and asked here to spice things up a bit.” “Spice things up how?” “How the hell am I supposed to know.” “You asked for her help.” “Well I do know one thing about this new being.” “What.” “It’s a girl.” “And?” “If you could see my face I am wriggling my eyebrows to show that I am implying something.” “Wait a minute.”…*Crickets chirping*…”Are you implying that the only thing I want in this world is to get laid?” “Maybe.” “Wow really.” “No not really I didn’t ask for her to be a girl she just is.” “Well does she have any powers.” “Spoilers,” he stated preforming a perfect imitation of River Song from Doctor Who. “Really.” “Really.” “Whatever.” “Hey just so ya know you new Dreadnought guy is ready and boy has he picked an arsenal.” “I’ll deal with it when I wake up.” “Okie dokie lokie.” “Please don’t ever do that again.” “Nah.” “Well Void I am going to get some proper rest by not talking and just laying down.” “Until next time Malice.” “Until next time Void.” Author's Note I hope you like the new addition and if you don't go ahead and voice your opinion because i'm still gonna put her in the story. Also there may be one chapter mainly focusing on her to build up her character and her powers will be shown in the next chapter. I also have a question for any who actually read this story. What do you dislike about it, what you like, and what you would like to see. Also if some characters seem OOC I am sorry it's just how tell the story. And the last thing on this list is for you to please tell me if my writing sucks.
SiegeAuthor's Note Hello there I hope you like my story. Except for the 31 people who don't like it. Also If there are any green words you can click on my computer is acting wierd so don't click them. And as always criticism I love you Death to all ponies Siege (POV Alexandria) “Ugh…where am I and what’s with all the snow.” Looking around me I could see only the white snow covering the ground but when I looked to the sky I saw something slowly floating towards me something big and metal. Before I could get a good picture of it I blacked out from the stress of being teleported. [10 minutes ago] “Alright Alexandria let’s get you some powers.” “Powers?” “Any being that me and my colleagues send to a world get three powers.” “What are mine?” “You’ll have to roll for those.” “Roll?” I said wondering what she meant before three purple circles lined up in front of me. “To find your powers you must tap each circle.” “Ok,” I said reaching my hand towards the first circle and touching it. “Well here we go,” said my benefactor as the circle swirled in the center before the power revealed it self. “Immortality bestowal.” “Now the next one,” not wanting to wait I tapped the other two in quick succession. “A fast one aren’t you.” “Wait what?” “Nothing.” Looking to the circles I saw one power that was good but the other horrified me. “Chain manipulation and lich physiology,” I looked to the second one to check if it was right. “Well then miss lich let’s fix up your body,” the voice said as I was hit with a beam of purple energy which preceded to shred flesh, skin, and cloths alike replacing them with a large robe. “What did you do to me?” “I completed you transformation.” “So now that I'm a lich what can I do?” “Necromancy, dark magic, immortality, unable to be physically hurt other than on you bones, and I also gave you a special addition of my own.” “What is the addition.” “If you pull the left side of your robe open as if your selling fake watches there is a pocket dimension for storing stuff.” “Stuff?” “Stuff.” “Well ok then.” “Oh my looks like our time is up.” “What’s that supposed to mean?” “That I'm now going to teleport you in 3…2…1…NOW!” “Wait wha- (POV Malice) Well this is interesting. When I gave Shredder the tablet to pick his weapons I didn’t expect him to choose all of them. “That is a lot of weapons you chose.” “Yes sir I wish to be full prepared.” “Rocket launchers, adamantium plating, shoulder mounted rail gun, shoulder mounted lascannon, quake hammer, and a flame thrower attached to a large claw.” “Heh.” “Might have a bigger arsenal that the thunderhawk.” “Really?” “Nah but enough talking I already made your suit’s body now to attach the weapons.” “So does this mean I get to help with the siege.” “Yes it does because you suit will be fully equipped in two hours.” [2 hours later] “There all done” “Holy shit that’s awesome.” “I know right.” “So I can just hop on in.” “Yeah it should mentaly attach to your mind to make it easier to use,” I told him as he jumped inside of the suit which then locked around him.” “So do I just sit here for a few sec- ahh.” “Oops.” “What was that?” “That was the suit linking to you.” “What was with the shock?” “I dunno but let’s try the weapons.” “Ok I see some sort of blue screen in front of me.” “That would be your HUD where you can mentally choose which weapon to use I've already set up a firing range to your left.” “Oh how'd I miss that?” “Just fire.” “Rail gun firing in 3…2…1 “BOOM…CHUNK.” After it fire I looked down range only to see that it had left a two foot wide hole in the wall. “Next weapon,” I yelled.” “Firing lascannon in 3…2…1 fire “PEEEEEWWWWWW.” Sounded off the lascannon as it fired leaving the wall it hit turned to glass. We then proceeded to check the weapons finally ending with the quake hammer. “Ok now don’t go full force on the hit ok.” “Ok,” he said rearing his right arm back before slamming it into the ground creating a large shockwave. “RUMBLE.” “Oh shit.” (POV Molotov) “Rumble.” “Wonder what that was?” (POV Malice) “I said lightly!” “I did put it down lightly.” “Alright let’s only use this against the ponies ok.” “Agreed.” “So let’s check this again. Twin rocket pods on your back, shoulder mounted railgun and lascannon, flamethrower, adamantium plating that can survive a nuke, and a claw that can crush with five hundred tons of pressure.” “Everything is set up my king.” “Yes it is.” “Now what?” “Now we board the thunderhawk.” (POV Celestia) We had finally arrived and found that there were sixty crystal guards awaiting us. “Hello gentelmen.” “Princess.” “Have Cadence and Shining sent you to escort the elements, myself, and my thirty guards to the castle.” “Yes they have.” “Good but we’d better hurry and get Rainbow Dash to the hospital.” “Yes ma’am,” said the guard’s leader. “Two of my men will grab her bed and roll her to the hospital.” “It is quite alright I am fully capable of transporting her.” “Ok Princess.” “Now then let’s not waste our precious time.” “Guards move out!” “YES SIR!” (POV Shredder) This suit the king had made for me was quite powerful. It’s weapons would allow me to destroy anything in my path but that is something for me to contemplate later because I have to keep my focus on not freaking out about all the bumps this thunderhawk is going through. “My king is it necessary for the ship to bump this much?” “No but I can’t help that it bumps.” “Why not?” “Sometimes we hit turbulence and it causes us to bump around.” “Ok but is there anything to do while we wait for our siege of the castle.” “Talk,” he said using the speaker that connected to the pilot seat. “Sure.” “Hey you.” “Me?” “Yeah you.” “Ok,” I said slowly lumbering over to the group. “I’m Molotov.” “Shredder.” “Nice to meet ya Shredder.” “You too Molotov.” “So what weapons you got?” “I have rocket launchers, a lascannon, a rail gun, a flamethrower attached to my claw, and my quake hammer.” “Quake hammer?” “Did you feel the rumble earlier today?” “Wait that was you hammer.” “Yes it was.” “Wow.” “I know and that was lightly.” “I don’t have nearly as many weapons but my suit is more mobile and better against infantry.” “Ah I see.” “Yeah.” “Would you like to introduce me to your other friends?” “Oh yeah but just so you know all the other changelings except one don’t have names.” “What’s the other one’s name?” “RPG.” “Why?” “He’s obsessed with them,” Molotov stated as we looked over at the arsenal only to see a changeling caressing a large tube. “Umm that’s creepy.” “I know right.” (POV Malice) We had already flown through nine of our twelve hour flight to the empire and the troops seem to be doing a better job at staying occupied that me. All I get to see is snow, snow, snow, cloak covered body, snow. Nothing that interesting. Wait a body! I quickly slowed the ship down which most likely tripped up some of my passengers. When I was right above the body I opened the backwards facing hatch and walked towards it. “Boss what’s up.” “I saw a body in the snow and I'm going to get it.” “Its probably just a pony body.” “Maybe but this one felt as if it was calling to me.” “Bodies calling to you?” “Yeah.” “Are you ok?” “Yeah but either way I’m going to get it.” “Sure thing.” As I reached the edge of the hatched ,which had recently turned into a ramp, I looked down and saw the body. Jumping down I got a closer look at the body and found it to be a skeleton. A human skeleton. (POV Molotov) I hope he isn’t going insane. “Molotov?” “Ya shredder.” “What’s up with the king?” “I have no clue but personally I think he’s going insane.” “Are you joking.” “No.” “Well then if you just realized that he’s insane you my friend are an idiot.” “What’s that supposed to mean?” “I figured out he was insane as soon as he asked if I wanted to become like I am right now.” “Oh,” as we finished up our conversation Malice flew back up with his jetpack and in his hands was a cloaked skeleton. (POV Twilight) When we had made it to the castle we were immediately assigned rooms by one of Cadence’s personal servants. The six of us including Spike got our own rooms while poor Rainbow had to stay in the hospital. “Girls what if the heart doesn’t heal Dash?” “Don’t worry darling I’m sure it will.” “Yeah twilight nothing is more powerful than the love of the crystal heart,” said Pinkie. “Except maybe my party cannon.” “But what if it doesn’t?” “We will cross that bridge when we get there,” (POV Celestia) While Twilight and her friends found their rooms I was talking with Cadence and Shining. “We need to be carful.” “Why auntie?” “I believe that Malice will be coming here.” “Who?” “Oh that’s right I forgot to tell you in all the commotion.” “That’s alright but can you please tell us.” “Malice is a being that I believe is not from this world,” I stopped to let that sink in and then continued. “He arrived here almost one and a half weeks ago and I once thought we could all be friends. Unfortunately that was not what happened because of someponies acting on instinct to attack him for killing.” “Killing?” “He said he was in danger so he fought back.” “Still that is no reason to kill.” “I agree but now back to what I was saying. He was captured after he was knocked out by your sister and her friends but he woke up more quickly than they thought.” “What happened?” “He fired a weapon that brutal maimed Rainbow Dash.” “Oh my goodness is she ok?” “No no she isn’t but that is why we brought her here to see if the heart could heal her.” “It’s worth a try princess but how could that help her.” “It could chase away all of the hate magic imbued in her wound.” “Oh well that’s ba- “Prince shining armor!” interrupted a frantic guard. “There seems to be a large metal object flying towards the city.” “What does it look like?” “Some sort of bird but it looks terrifying like something you’d see in a comic bo- “BOOM!” “What was that?” [5 minutes earlier] (POV Malice) “Attention all passengers this is your captain speaking it seems that we have reached the empire,” after my announcement I looked in front of myself again and saw it the mighty castle in all it’s glory. “Boss.” “Yeah Molotov.” “Are we gonna knock or should we just barge in.” “Let’s knock,” I said while activating the large armor piercing cannon that was mounted atop the thunderhawk. “Let’s knock hard.” “What should we shoot?” “I’ll set it on random and see what happens.” targeting systems activating finding target…target found prepare for fire in 3…2…1 fire “BOOM!” Looking back to the console I saw the target and I was quite pleased with the auto targeting system’s choice. “What did we hit?” “A school house.” “Oh.” “That oughta wake em up.” Warning enemy guards are on their way “Molotov go get every one ready.” “Yes sir.” (POV random child) Today is a great day especially since it’s my birthday. The only downside is that mom still made me go to school. “Teacher,” I called out. “Yes what is it?” “What’s that?” I showed her by pointing at the object that was steadily growing larger. “I don’t know but maybe we should go outside.” “Yes ma’am,” I replied along with all the other colts and fillies. As we left the small building I could hear a faint whistling sound that just like the object in the sky it was growing. It was close enough now for me to see that it was metal but before I could make any suggestion of what it was it hit the ground and everything went black. “BOOM!” (POV royal guard commander Typhoon) “ Listen up all of ya,” I yelled at the assembled guards. “We don't know what’s out there but we are going to protect the princesses correct.” “YES SIR!” “Good now move out we are going to the front gate.” I watched them run towards the gates knowing that only a few may make it back. “I’m so sorry but we must protect the princesses and civilians,” I said to the space around me. (POV Malice) “Listen up today we are not fighting against tyranny or oppression but annihilation we are fighting for our right to live. So in the name of the changeling empire let’s give em hell.” “YES SIR!” yelled all of the changelings. “Where’d you get the speech?” “A movie.” “A what?” “I’ll show you later.” “Alright then.” “Get ready the ship is flying us in low so we can hop out.” “Your the boss.” (POV random guard) We could see it from our position the large metal bird. It had slowed from it’s original pace and also lowered closer to the ground. “I think something’s happening!” yelled one of my brothers. And indeed something was happening. The bird had turned what looked to be two musket batteries. they were two wide and thee tall but the worst fact of them all was that they were pointed at us. “DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!!!” Bullets went flying past hitting soldier after solider. They were mowing us down as if we were blades of grass. “OPEN FIRE!” shouted one of the guards and at his words a wall of crossbow bolts, arrows, and magical beams fired upon the bird. “Did we kill it?” questioned another guard as he was unable to see through the smoke screen. “FWOOSH,” came the sound from behind the smoke but this weapon was unlike the hail of bullets this one was a single tube propelled by fire. We doubted it could harm us until it hit. “BOOM!” It destroyed the gate and blasted shards of crystal in every direction. Many were unlucky enough to be impaled or crushed by the shards but I was lucky enough to only come out of it with a small scratch. “FWOOSH…FWOOSH…FWOOSH!” Was the sound of three more tubes flying over us and into the city where the would undoubtedly cost many lives. (POV Typhoon) “Princesses you must leave now!” “And why would we need to leave commander?” asked princess Twilight. “Surely you guards can handle one small metal bird while we heal our friend.” “No the cannot do as well as you think.” “It can’t be that bad.” “We lost two thirds of our forces and one of the soldiers was Flash Sentry.” “WHAT!!!.” “I said they ki- “I heard you but now Malice has gone to far and I shall kill him with my own hands!!!” “Princess calm down.” “NO!” she yelled at me as her normal light purple aurora around he horn and hands turned much darker. She them stormed out of the room and towards the destroyed gates. (POV Malice) “Alright let’s move everyone while they’re shocked.” “YES SIR!” said my guards as the grabbed onto the ropes hanging out of the Thunderhawk and sliding down. “Molotov your up.” “Yeah boss,” he instead of using a rope jumped down and ran ahead of the ship.” “Shredder.” “I’m up next right.” “Yeah but when you hit see if you can cause a bit of a rumble.” “A bit how about a lot,” he said before jumping out with his quake hammer ready to strike the ground. (POV Molotov) After I had hit the ground I ran forward knowing Shredder was next but what I didn’t expect was the shoe wave that threw me of my feet. I then quickly radioed over to the others form them to brace. They were lucky enough to survive but the few standing guards weren’t. The shock wave had cause them to fall off the wall as parts of it broke off and crushed those under them. The screams they made filled me with pure glee. They were finally getting what’s coming to them. (POV Rarity) “Princess what are we going to do.” “You’re going to leave.” “But what about you?” “I have to find Twilight and confront Malice.” “Princess are you sure this is a good idea?” “Yes I am.” “Ma’am,” said a doctor who had recently rushed to our side. “What is it darling?” “Your friend Rainbow Dash has been linked with the heart and should take around ten minutes to heal.” “Bring her directly to us when your done.” “Yes princess.” “You all shall stay here while I deal with Malice,” said the princess as she was encompassed by a glowing golden light. “And I with my battle armor and solar blade will do battle with him,” she said as the golden glow turned into armor and a sword. “Wow,” stated Pinkie as we watched Celestia fly out the nearest window. (POV Malice) After seeing Shredder’s handiwork I gave him a pat on the back. “Go ahead and go wild.” “What?” “Kill em all.” “Yes sir.” As he activated his weapon systems I drew my DMR and charged forwards along with Molotov and the changelings. One of them had some how gotten their hands on a mini nuke. “Hey where’d you get that.” “Found it in the arsenal.” “Well open fire then.” “FWOOSH………BOOM!” “That’s what I'm talking about.” (POV Shredder) These weapons the king gave me were beautiful. The only downside was that once Sombra reclaimed this place he’d have a lot of blood to clean up. Launching secondary rocket pod And then there was the automatic threat/weapons assessment system. It had allowed me to spot a large amount of hidden guards who I then cut down. “DIE YOU WORTHLESS MURDERERS!!!” “FWOOSH………BOOM!” “DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!” “PEW…BOOM…PEW…BOOM!” (POV guard commander Typhoon) I had sent them to their deaths a slaughter and yet as they fall they continue to fight. Protecting their leaders, their friends, and their families. These were my thoughts as I drew my warhammer and charge the metal behemoth before me. The one that had killed countless guards and civilians alike. “YOU DEMON SHALL PAY FOR YOUR SLAUGHTER!” I said while jumping off of a destroyed house and onto it’s head. (POV Molotov) I was walking along minding my own business and killing ponies, when all of the sudden there was a small weight added to my back. The weight turned out to be a large earth pony wielding a hammer. “Pathetic,” I said, grabbing him and holding him in front of me. “I thought you would be more of a challenge. “I am commander Typhoon of the Equestrian guards and you are under arrest for the assault and killing of several civilians.” “Hahahahaha.” “Why are you laughing this is a serious matter.” “Oh little pony I agree this is serious but the difference is my seriousness pertains to why your still alive.” “I am alive because I am one of the strongest ponies in the guard forces.” “Well then can you survive this,” I said while activating my flame thrower. “Burn pony burn!” “FWOOSH!” “AHHHHHHH,” he screamed as flesh and skin melted leaving only his hammer and bones. “Strongest guard my flank.” (POV Magnus) “Sombra are you ready?” “I’ve been ready for the past five minutes.” “Oh ok.” “Shall we join the battle?” he said, turning himself into a cloud of nanites. “Yes we shall,” I said doing the same as him and floating out the opening and around to the front of the vehicle but what I saw frightened me. “Sombra come here.” “What is it?” he questioned before turning and seeing what I saw. In front of us was a very angry Celestia. We quickly took solid forms and prepared for battle. (POV Sombra) Well then it seems as though Magnus and I are in quite the predicament. Looking over to my left I saw him draw his blade and preparing for battle. “This oughta be fun,” I said while doing the same as him. “On three we blast her.” “Got it.” “1…2…3 Fire.” “ZAP!” “ZAP!” Our twin lasers hurtled towards her ready to incinerate her. (POV Celestia) I could see them. The two beings who formed out of nothing and fired beams at me. Luckily I put up my shield in time but instead of it being a weak attack on my shield it hit so hard it formed cracks on it. I decided that instead of using shields I would dodge. (POV Magnus) I was surprised she was able to block both of our beams but it doesn’t matter we shall eventually hit her. “Fire when ready we will blast her out of the sky.” “ZAP!” “ZAP!” “ZAP!” “ZAP!” These were the sounds our weapons made as we continuously bombarded her. “DIE YOU MURDEROUS BITCH!” Satellite will be ready to fire in one minute. “Magnus what was that?” “It was an alert I set up for myself. I must have accidentally set it for you too.” “What is the satellite for?” “It’s a cannon.” “Alright then.” “I’m going to call Malice.” “Ok i’ll keep Celestia occupied.” “ZAP…ZAP…ZAP!” (POV Malice) I had just heard from Magnus that he was fighting Celestia but unfortunately I had my hands full dealing with the newest princess. “Twilight Sparkle please leave and you won’t be hurt.” “NOOOOOO YOU KILLED FLASH AND NOW YOU WILL DIE!” she shouted, her hair and tail turning into fire and her fur turning white. “Well fuck you to then,” I replied while bringing my DMR’s sights onto her head. “BANG…BANG…BANG!” rang out the shots from my weapon. I was almost certain that she would put up a shield but unfortunately in her rage she forgot and her horn was blown off her head leaving a fountain of blood to pour out. “AHHHHHHHHH!” “Gotcha bitch.” “Why are you doing this,” she asked. “Because my little pony,” leaning in close I whispered to her. “It’s fun.” “Sir.” “Damn it Magnus you stopped me before I could perform an evil laugh.” “Sorry but we have a bigger problem on our hands.” “What?” “Celestia is attacking us.” “I’m on my way right now.” (POV Rarity) I was so worried about twilight that I almost failed to see the large monstrosity of metal burst through the wall. “DIE PONIES DIE!” “My friends and I all screamed together at the sight as it destroyed the small amount of guards defending us.” “YOU.” “Me,” I asked trying to make myself as small as possible. “YES YOU TELL ME THE LOCATION OF THE CRYSTAL HEART!” “You and the rest of the changelings are meanies,” shouted out Pinkie before any of us could stop her.” “AND WHY IS THAT PONY!” “You are attacking us when we have done nothing wrong.” Looking back towards the beast I could easily tell it was mad. This was not from it’s face for that was unseeable but from seeing all his weapons power up and fire jet out of the four tubes on his back. “NOTHING WRONG YOU THINK YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG!” “Yes.” “YOUR KIND HAVE SLAUGHTERED HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF CHANGELINGS ONLY BECAUSE WE WANTED FOOD!” “Why didn’t you ask for help?” “WE DID BUT YOU ALL REFUSED US AND ATTACKED WITHOUT REASON SO WE FOUGHT BACK AND WERE LABLED AS EVIL PARASITES!” “Dear could you stop yelling?” “NO!” “Ok,” by this time Fluttershy had already passed out and was in a formation that would stop anything from moving her. “NOW DIE!” “DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!” “BOOM!” “PEEEEWWWWW!” “FWOOSH…FWOOSH!” All of his weapons had fired and it looked like certain doom for us but instead of death what we saw was a large pink shield made by our friend Princess Cadence. “Hurry we have to get out of here!” she shouted at us.” “NOT SO FAST MURDERERS,” said the beast raising it’s hammer like appendage and smashing through the shield. “I’M NOT DONE YET.” “Oh buck,” said Applejack as she picked up Fluttershy who had fainted at the beast’s entry. “Who are you?” Cadence asked. “I AM SHREDDER!” “DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA,” Shredders weapon sounded as the ground around us exploded. We quickly ran down the corridor to escape the assault but we all forgot one thing…Spike. (POV Spike) I was having the best of dreams but I was surprised to wake up on a bed and not in a train. “They must have moved me.” Going over towards the window I slipped on a few books spilling out of a bag. “Twilight must have been reading.” I decided to give up my journey and instead find some food. I proceeded to open the door and try to find a kitchen. Unfortunately in my half awake half asleep state I was unable to notice the explosions going on out side. “boom…boom…boom.” “Pinkie must be throwing a party.” Turning down the left corridor I continued to walk until I came upon a strange piece of art. It looked like someone had splattered red paint on a wall. It also seemed as though the painter wasn’t done and had accidentally cause a tapestry to fall upon the lump that could only be his paints. “ahhhhhhhh.” “Something must have fell on somepony’s foot.” Continuing down the corridor I found a right passage leading to a kitchen. “Yes.” Finding the kitchen caused me to fully wake up. “FWOOSH………BOOM!” “What in the heck was that?” “BOOM…BOOM…BOOM!” “This is a problem for future Spike. Present Spike needs food.” Turning around to the pantry I pulled out a box of sugar bombs, I then turned to the fridge and grabbed some milk, and finally to the cabinet to get a bowl. “BOOM BOOM BOOM!” “Who’d they get to play the music?” “BOOM BOOM BOOM!” “Must be Vinyl only she could produce music that loud.” I then closed the kitchen door to keep out most of the noise and made my cereal.
The Lich(POV Shredder) The ponies had some how survived my relentless assault by only running. “DIE!!!.” “No!” screamed the pink one who then threw a pie in my face. “THAT’S IT I’M DONE PLAYING AROUND IT’S TIME YOU DIED!” after these words I turned my hammer to the ground and readied the piston that would create enough force to destroy this castle. “If you do that you’ll die too!” yelled the white pony as she and here friends continued to run. “HA EVEN IF I BRING THIS WHOLE PLACE DOWN I’LL STILL SURVIVE!” Hammer activating in 3…2…1 Raising my arm up I used both the force of the piston and my arm coming down to create the shock wave along with the great earthquake. “BOOM…RUMBLE!” Looking to the ceiling I could see hundreds of thousands of cracks spreading on it. “Hmmmm…let’s see you get out of this one,” I said in a regular voice before running back down the hall I chased the ponies through. (POV Random Doctor) “Is she done yet!” “No!” screamed back one of the nurses. “but it looks like the heart is almost done with her. “Well we better be ready because it sounds like we are going to need to run.” “Ya don’t say,” said another nurse. “Rumble.” “What was that?” “BOOM!” was the sound made as part of the ceiling crashed down in front of us turning one of the four guards with us to paste. “Ahhhhhh!” screamed the only female guard. “Holy buck!” exclaimed another. “She’s ready!” “Thank Celestia,” I quickly dashed towards them and started levitating the now healed mare down the hall. “Let’s go!” yelled one of the three guards. At his word we took off down the hall. I was sure that we were going to die the minute we stepped out side but I was wrong. Ahead of us there was a large fiery explosion which incinerated two of the other doctors. The fire forced us into one of the small doors to our right. We continued down the corridor as fast as possible and found our way into the throne room. “Hurry we can escape through the main door way.” “Alright lets go.” Two of the guards ran forwards and started to push against the door. I decided to help because I was the only unicorn left. “Crunch.” We could feel something was blocking it on the other side. “Crunch.” We only had to push harder. “Crunch.” Just a little more. “Crunch.” Almost g- “SPLAT!” was the wet sound made as the guards were thrown to the sides after having the door blown from it’s hinges from the other side. I fortunately enough was far enough away to not be splattered but a stray piece of metal had lodged itself in my right arm. “Ahhhh!” “And what do we have here?” said the voice of a large bipedal robot with two smoking barrels attached to it’s shoulders. “Ahhh it’s a pony.” “Who are you?” I said while shaking in fear. “Well my names Molotov.” “eep,” was the sound the lone guardsmare as she fainted. “Heh seems the guards are all worn out,” the creature said as the two barrels folded into it’s shoulders. “Maybe I should give her some rest back at my place don’t ya think.” “No no no you don’t have to do that.” “Your right maybe we could just have a good time.” I was both terrified and disgusted by the creature in front of me. “Now you listen here creature,” it turned towards me laying it’s glassed face upon me. “I…I won’t let you hurt her.” “Hurt her I would never do such a thing,” it then pulled a massive six barreled musket from it’s back. “Has anyone ever told you your annoying.” “Well no bu- BZZZZZZZZ!” (POV Molotov) “Man he was a real buzz kill don’t you think.” “Please go away,” said the only conscious pony in the room. “Ya know what I’m gonna let you live just because you said please but these two,” I proceeded to pick up Rainbow Dash and the guard. “are coming with me.” “O…ok” “Alright then see ya and also you might want run,” after those few words I slowly strolled out the door. (POV Malice) I was on my way to the thunder hawk as soon as Magnus informed me of miss sunshine’s arrival. “Malice I would suggest you hur- OH MY FUCKING GOD!” “Magnus?” “BOOM!” ahead of me there was a bright flash of purple light. “What the hell?” there seemed to be a purple globe protecting this thunder hawk from a white beam that had come from Celestia. After the beam ended the shield turned into a small purple ball about the size of a basket ball and hovered before the ship. Only for about one second before it shot a beam of it’s own towards Celestia. After it hit it pushed her into the ground and then six feet under before it stopped. “What the fucking hell was that.” (POV Alexandria) I felt the sensation of falling as the darkness gave way to the light of a broken and falling plane. To my right across the isle was a young boy with a piece of glass through his head. Looking forward I could see the ground approaching through the hole that used to be the front of the plane. “BOOM!” Where “dakka dakka dakka.” “fwoosh…boom.” “peewww.” I thought about just going back to sleep but that thought stopped when I looked over to my side and saw my now skeletal hand. “Ahhhh!” “What was that?” was the voice that came from behind the metal door on my left. Out of said door came a large creature about six feet tall wearing what looked like pilots clothing. “Who the hell are you?” it questioned in a menacing voice. “I’m Alexandria and I don’t know what’s going on!” “Alright then girl follow me.” I did as it told me but mostly because I didn’t want to get shot by the larger revolver resting on it’s hip. “Who’s back there?” “Seems the boss’s skeleton came to life.” “Whoa what the hell are you?” “I’m a human and I want to know where I am.” “Well then hooman you are at this moment on the one and only thunder hawk in the changeling army.” “It’s human not hooman and also what do ya mean changeling army where on earth am I?” “Well how do I explain this.” “No time look!” Ahead of us was a large white beam that was heading towards the right wing. as it got closer I threw up my arms to stop my self from being blinded and waited for my end. after a few seconds I opened my eyes to see my hands glowing purple and the beam being stopped by a purple barrier. Lich physiology meant I had magic. “Whoa!” “Holy buck what’s going on.” I started to think about what I could do and quickly found an answer to our problem. After finding the answer I slowly forced the energy into a small ball and then forced it out and towards the white flying being. (POV Magnus) Something horrible had happened. Celeste had managed to encase Sombra in a shield and shoot a large beam at the ship but before it hit some thing amazing happened. The beam was stopped by a purple shield. (POV Sombra) Even though I was incased in a shield I could still see when a large purple bolt that shot Celestia into the ground. (POV Celestia) I was astonished that they had somehow blocked one of my most powerful spells but that ended as I was hit by a purple beam much stronger than my own and shot into the ground. I had only seconds awake after the beam ended and used that time to send a letter to my sister and on this letter I wrote HELP!!!!!!!!! and then sent it away. Hopefully she would get here in time. (POV Alexandria) The changelings in front of me were just staring out the window mouths opened and eyes fixated on the spot the white person used to be in. “Guys?” “That was amazing.” “It was more than amazing.” “It was awesome,” said a deep voice behind me. Turning around I faced a large creature covered in black armor. “Who are you?” “I am Malice king of the changelings,” he said before he was encompassed in a blue field and dragged out the back of the ship I was on. (POV Luna) I was bored very bored. I now understood why my sister hated dealing with nobles. “Princess Luna,” stated one of them. “I am here to ask you to force out all of the commoners within that orphanage I wish to build a pool where they are.” “No Blueblood I won’t do that now please leave and don’t dare touch that orphanage got it.” “Fine.” “Why can’t something interesting happen.” “Poof,” was the sound made by a letter popping into existence. “Ooo maybe Tia found some thing interesting,” opening the scroll I saw the letters “HELP” written out with a few splatters of blood on it. “Guards!” “Yes princess,” said two of my night guard as they rushed in. “Prepare at least one hundred guards for battle.” “But there is no one here princess.” “We aren’t fighting here we are going to the Crystal Empire and I’m going to teleport us ok,” I stated while giving the guards a menacing glare. “Yes princess!” they said as they rushed off with fear in their faces. “Now it’s my turn to get ready,” I ignited my horn and covered my body in magic which I then used to quickly teleport and equip my armor. “Good and now for the weapon,” the magic around me then summoned in a large scythe. [10 minutes later] “Princess we are ready to go.” “Good now prepare for teleport in three…two…one ZAP.” Once we arrived I couldn’t belive my eyes. The empire had smoke billowing out of it and the castle looked as if it was falling in on itself. “Oh my Celestia.” “Guards I want you to split into five groups of twenty and search for civilians but if you come across any of the other princesses bring them out here and away from the battle.” “Yes Princess!” after they formed into groups they ran off leaving me alone. “Oh sister where are you?” my question was answered as I looked over to my left. There seemed to be a large crater but what inside horrified me. It was Celestia she had at least a hundred cuts across her body along with a large gash directly across her chest but worst of all were the burns. Her being the ruler of the sun made her quite resilient to heat but these weren’t normal burns they were magic burns. Looking to the sky I saw the large vessel that could only belong to Malice. Once I made my way up and behind it I saw him the creature that deserved my ire. I grabbed him with my magic and tore him from his ship. “Today you shall die Malice!” “No you will,” he said before turning around and blasting me with twin jets of flame. (POV Malice) The cool thing about gas powers is that I can ignite the gas and shoot it at people and that is what I did to Luna. “Ahhhhhh,” it seemed flames damaged her more than it would her sister but that was probably because she doesn’t rule the sun. “Die bitch!” but to my surprise she was able to shoot me through the fire. The bolt managed to knock me off balance and crash into the ground which ruined my jetpack. “Damn it.” “YOU SHALL DIE!!!” “Will I now?” “Yes you will.” “Ok then nightmare.” “We are not nightmare moon anymore now we are Luna princess of the moon.” fifteen seconds till satellite is ready to fire. “Alright Lulu it’s ok.” “I already told you that my name is LUNA!” ready to fire on designated target “Magnus?” “Yes.” “You got the target locator?” “Yes I do catch.” “Hey Luna look at what I've got,” as she looked towards me as I marked her as a target for the satellite. Firing main cannon. Looking up I was able to see the bright beam of plasma streaking down from the sky. “Prepare to be glassed Luna.” “What?” was all she managed to say before the beam hit her. It drove her into the ground like the purple beam did to her sister but the only difference was that the ground around Luna turned to glass from the heat. “Ahhhhhhhh!” “I can’t believe I actually expected those two to be strong enough to kill me.” “Sir we have the heart and are heading back to the ship,” said a changeling over the radio that was linked to our helmets. “Alright,” I said as I switched my radio to talk to every one. “Alright everyone we’ve got the heart now let’s go. “I’m sorry Malice but I can’t let you do that.” Author's Note well what do ya think? Also thanks for the feedback.
Traitor(POV Malice) “I’m sorry Malice but I can’t let you do that.” “What are you talking about Sombra?” “I need that heart for it’s energy.” “So do I.” Once I flew over to him we began stare each other down ready to draw our weapons at a moments notice. He had a grasp on his two blades and I was reaching for my energy sword. “This doesn't have to happen.” “Yes Malice it does.” Seconds that felt like years passed by as we continued to stare. “Shing…Shing!” erupted the loud sounds of Sombra’s swords being drawn. Like him drawing his weapons I did the same. My energy sword soundlessly activating. We continued to wait until we were interrupted by a shout. “JUST FIGHT ALREADY!” shouted Molotov. It only took those few words to start the battle. “RAHHHHH!” He roared while charging me at top speed. “Not so fast motherfucker,” after quickly deactivating my shield I raised my arm and around it formed twelve small missiles. “Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh Fwoosh,” The missiles sped words him at an astonishing pace. The first one passed straight through him. Well shit I cant hit him I thought as the others did the same and crashed into a large college. “You can’t hit me Malice,” he said with a grin “I am nothing but a swarm of nanites remember.” If I can’t hit him with my missiles then swords definitely won’t work. “I can see it even if your face is covered. You have realized the truth you cannot destroy me.” “No he can’t but I can,” shouted Magnus. “Your late.” “Just finishing up a few things,” he said while I looked at the large amount of blood on him. “Yes things.” “Now go help the troops I've got Sombra.” POV Magnus “It is interesting that you would betray us so soon.” “Oh really.” “Yes I thought it would be atlas a month before you were ready to die.” “Me die no you will die.” “Hmmm I wish this didn’t have to happen Sombra,” I said. “I really thought of you as a friend.” “It does not matter what you wish or what you thought,” he replied harshly. “I truly am sorry for this,” I reached out with my hand and spoke a few key phrases. “Emergency command 420 code name “Traitor” activate.” “What was thaaaaaaaaaaat,” Sombra spoke his voice freezing up mid sentence. “That was the emergency self destruct activating inside of you,” I replied flatly. “What!” “You are now a living bomb.” “Ha it doesn’t matter even though I must die I will bring you with me.” “No you won’t your nanites are currently connecting causing you to solidify,” I explained. “Soon you will drop from the sky like a rock.” “What no…no you can’t do this.” “It is already done and cannot be stopped.” “But come on it was just a joke,” he said as his body started to fall.” “We both know it wasn't a joke.” “Your time will come someday Magnus it may not be me but there are others who will wish to kill you.” “It does not matter anymore.” “Even if we are enemies I will still tell you this,” he said darkly. “Watch your master closely for his mind is slipping.” “Wait what?” “Good bye and well fuck you Magnus,” Sombra them fell like a stone. “That took longer than expected.” (POV Molotov) “Damn I was really hoping the were gonna fight,” I quietly said while pushing a sixth mare into a net strapped to my back. “Fun is gonna start when we get home so you better get ready ladies.” “Your a monster!” shouted the blue one. “Oh a monster am I?” “Yes you and all the other changelings.” “But I'm not a changeling,” I said smoothly. “I’m a pony.” “But why aren’t you helping us?” “Because your leader is a genocidal bitch who wants to wipe out an entire race just because they're different.” “Your lying!” “Ha you shall soon see the truth girl.” “Like hell i’ll ever believe you.” Looking to my left I saw something that made me quite happy. Three mares all trapped in a crumbling building. “Oooh my now this is what I like.” “Freak.” “Shut your mouth pony,” I said quickly grabbing the three unconscious mares. “Now make sure they are ok and I might not take you home.” “Fine.” Ahhh nine mares and only a block till I reach the ship. “Nice guys finish last,” I sang and quickly blasted a guard who thought he was sneaky. “That’s why I treat you like trash.” “Uhg i’m gonna be sick.” “If you barf on me i’ll torch you,” I said and held up my flame thrower. “GULP!” “Your good at swallowing guess i’ll have to remember that for later.” “F…f…freak.” “Ahhh I can see it now.” “See what?” she asked. “You future will be filled with swallowing and when I say filled I mean like night and day swallowing.” “GULP!” was the sound she made in fright. “Just like that heh heh heh.” “THUD!” “What the hell is that Sombra?” I said to the metal statue. “Nah.” (POV Shredder) “I must re turn to the ship quickly before they are overrun by the princess’s guards.” “THUD THUD THUD SQUISH!” “Oop’s looks like I stepped on something,” lifting my foot I saw a small colt with his organs squished from his body. “Nope just trash.” “THUD THUD THUD THUD!” rang out the sounds of my stomping feet. (POV RPG) “Brothers I can feel it can’t you.” “Yes we feel it too.” We currently had the heart in our grasp and were running for the ship while being covered by our other brothers. “Hurry up and board the ship we can't keep this up all day!” yelled out one of them before he returned to gunning down the incoming swarm of guards. “Just a few more blocks brothers.” POV Alexandria What the hell have I gotten myself into? “Miss I advise you find a seat we are about to leave.” “What about the rest of your soldiers?” “Closing on our location,” he replied. “So you best be ready for takeoff cause it’s gonna be bumpy.” “Ok.” After the quick conversation I ran over to an empty seat and strapped myself in. “Molotov ETA thirty seconds, Shredder ETA one minute, and the soldiers ETA is three minutes,” said the pilot on the right. “Got it extending boarding ramp and readying weapon systems,” said the one on the left. “Powering up engines…1 powered…2 powered…3 powered…4 powered all engines powered and ready for take off,” said the one to the right. “Molotov is here and Shredder has sped up making his ETA 15 seconds.” “Hey y'all what’s up,” shouted a new voice who I assumed was Molotov. “And who the hell is this.” “My name is Alexandria and also what is on your back.” “Toys.” “But all I see are…girls” “Like I said toys.” “Pervert.” “Hey a man has to have his fun and these changelings need to relax if you know what I mean.” “Uhg.” “I HAVE ARRIVED!” “AHHHH!” “MOLOTOV WHAT IS THIS CREATURE?” “First of calm yourself and second this is Alexandria.” “AHHHH I IS NICE TO MEET YOU,” said the massive machine. “I AM THE MIGHTY SHREDDER!” “No need to yell ya jackass!” said one of the pilots. “Heart ETA one minute,” said the other pilot. “Malice and Magnus are converging on their position for fire support.” “Starting engines.” “FWOOSH!” “Entering hover mode and retracting landing gear.” “CHUNK…CLUNK!” “Landing gear locked prep for take off.” “ETA ten seconds.” “Lift off in twenty.” While they were prepping the ship, Molotov took all his knocked out ponies and strapped them in before he attached himself to a locking mechanism in the wall. While he did this Shredder attached himself to some clamps on the floor and roof of the cabin. “We are all locked in back here,” yelled Molotov. “Not quite yet,” said a changeling who was carrying a heart shaped jewel. Suddenly more changelings ran in and took their seats while the first lock the jewel in a safe of some kind. Next came a silver and blue being who ran into the cockpit and following after him came Malice who then began to yell out orders. POV Malice “Get this ship in the air we don’t have time to waste.” “Sir yes sir!” yelled the pilots. “Everyone prepare for a bumpy ride,” I said before strapping myself into a chair.” “Liftoff in 3…2…1,” at one we immediately shot upwards and the thrusters boomed with the sudden amount of power. “FWOOM………BOOM.” We broke the sound barrier while going up. “Time to head home," yelled a pilot as he gunned and we rocketed it out of there.
Devastation and the Biomachine(POV Princess Cadence) My empire was burning and blood ran through the streets. I had found countless foals crying over their parents bodies. I even had the unfortunate luck of seeing the after effects of one of the large explosive flying tubes. The only thing keeping me from going insane from grief was my child whom I had hid with to keep her safe. “Hello princess.” “Ahhh,” I screamed as a large metallic statue began to speak. “It issssss niiiice to see you.” “Did you assist with this?” “Originally yes.” “Who are you?” I asked menacingly. “I am or was Sombra but I will soon be nothing but ashes.” “Wait Sombra as in the evil overlord Sombra.” “Correct.” “And what was that about ashes?” “I betrayed Malice and his allies so I was turned into a bomb,” he explained. “A BOMB!” “And don't think about moving me it won't help.” “Why not?” “The explosion was made of both science and magic therefore the resulting explosion should be at least 50 times the size of the empire.” “That big?” I asked in shock. “Yes that big,” he replied. “Your best bet would be to evacuate the empire while I try to internally disarm the bomb.” “Why would you help us?” “Because I hate Malice.” “Why do you hate your master?” “He is no master of mine,” Sombra replied. “And as to why I hate him. you can see for yourself.” I then looked over his solidified body realizing that he couldn’t slip away from this fate like he slipped away from his two previous fates. He was doomed. “How long do I have.” “It was originally set to one day but due to my interference you have three days.” “I never thought I would say this but…thank you Sombra.” “You are welcome princess.” (POV Spike) “Ugh what in the name of Luna happened?” “HELLO ANYPONY THERE?” yelled a loud voice. “Um yeah i’m down here.” “Hurry men it sounds like a child.” “Hey what happened I was inside the castle kitchen at the time?” “We were attacked and over a fifth of the population was killed.” “Oh buck me. Who attacked?” “An unknown assailant by the name of Malice. He and his soldiers stole the crystal heart and kidnapped the element of loyalty along with six other mares and three stallions.” “What about the princesses?” “Both Princess Luna and Princess Twilight have been flown back to Canterlot for emergency treatment. With the assistance of Princess Cadence Princess Celestia has been able to stay.” “I should have been there to protect them.” “Don’t worry kid there was nothing you could do.” “still I wish I was there.” “All that matters is that your safe now.” “Ok.” (POV Celestia) “Cadence does the empire have some form of warning system,” I asked my niece. “It did but it was connected to the heart.” “Then we have to do this the hard way.” “The hard way?” “You will gather your things and Flurry while I begin the evacuation.” “But I should be here to help.” “No you will prepare to leave.” “Yes Celestia.” (POV acting guard commander) “Attention remaining soldiers of the empire, we have been given a new goal.” “What would that be,” asked a slightly burned recruit. “We have been tasked with evacuating the empire.” “Why,” asked another. “The enemy left an massive bomb within the empire that even if we moved it would still affect us.” “Oh Celestia.” “We will retrieve the survivors and leave before the bomb goes off understand.” “YES SIR!” the all yelled. (POV Ruby) The heart container was almost complete along with the machine the drones are building. It has been fitted with wire connectors much like the mechanism added to my back. Before he left Malice told me of his plans involving the magic bomb dropped off in the empire. It was still fresh in my mind. [Flash back start] “Ruby I have a job for you.” “What is it sir.” “It will be hard to handle and may even be painful at first but I’m sure you'll get used to it.” “What do you need I’ll do anything…anything.” “I need you to control the heart.” “Huh?” “Six connectors will be added to your back so that you may interface with the machine the drones are building.” “Uhm well anything for you sir.” “Good good.” “What is the machine for?” “It’s for making an army of flesh and metal.” “F…flesh and m…metal!” “The bomb will teleport multiple ponies to a containment room and then you will control the factory and create my army.” “Ok sir.” [Flash back end] Flesh and metal…flesh and metal? “Ruby?” “Huh!” “Ruby I’ve been saying your name for the past minute.” “Sorry I was deep in thought.” “Well it’s time to prepare to be attached.” “Ok,” I said as the drone began listing off the various protocols. (POV Molotov) I thought I had nine girls but unfortunately the turned out to be traps. “WOW MOLOTOV DIDN”T KNOW YOU WERE INTO TRAPS,” bellowed Shredder. “Yeah same here,” said RPG “Aw come on guys lets accept him for who and what he is…A faggot.” “Shut up ya assholes.” “Calm down just because your a FAGGOT doesn’t mean you can’t help us,” said A drone “Yeah just add some rainbow stripes and frills,” said another. “They looked like girls in the dust and under the rubble.” At least the Lich is qui- “It’s alright some guys are just perverts.” “GRRRRRR SHUT IT BONEHEAD.” “What did you call me.” “I CALLED YOU BONEHEAD YOU SKELETON FREAK,” I said and extended my cannons. “Oh hell no,” she replied while igniting her hands in purple fire. “QUIET!!!” yelled Malice. Suddenly everyone went quiet. “We’ll be arriving soon so sit down and shut up…by the way Molotov.” “Yes?” “Stop being a faggot.” “Grrrrrrrrrr.” (POV Malice) After dealing with my fighting soldiers I returned to the cockpit. I made it just in time to see the ground be covered in green flame and leave behind black carapace. The carapace then began to split in half with small strings of slime stretching across the ever widening gap. “VVVVVvvvvvvvvvvrrrrrrrrr.” The gunship passed through the opening and began to slowly drift downwards into the earth. The carapace then closed behind us and blocked out all light. We drifted for about 300 feet and passed through two more gates. “They've done a lot of work.” “Yes they have,” agreed one of the pilots. We finally reached the main room where the gunship was first built but it had nearly tripled in size. I could also see a small alcove that looked like a landing pad. (POV Ruby) He is here. “Miss Ruby It’s time.” “Yes.” “Now lay down on this chair and fit your connectors in-between the six holes.” “All right there we go.” “And finally we begin the process,” said the drone. “The other four changelings with me will act as your power source until the heart arrives.” “Understood now lets begin.” “Prepare yourself miss Ruby.” I was covered in green magic and levitated in side of the massive biological construct. The other four stood on each corner and powered it up. “CRACK!” Six tentacle like objects entered my back and emitted a cooling sensation that numbed all my nerves. The magic left me and the tentacles drug me inwards. Inside there were multiple machines. The first seemed like some form of goggles that reached down and attached to my face. The second was a head lock system that locked my head in place. Third was a face mask that would feed me love and also help me breath. The last piece was a full body sarcophagus piece that locked in my arms and legs. After being locked in a large claw covered in carapace. I was raised into the main center of the bio machine. The heart had been placed inside while I was being locked in and was now sitting behind me. But finally I could see but from the outside and looking at the mechanism. It had four corner towers glowing with green energy while the center tower contained a large red power source and was connected to nearly a hundred wires that were dug into the wall. ‘It’s perfect.’ (POV Celestia) 2 days later In the distance I could hear the sounds of a siren as it pushed the ponies towards the destroyed train station where they would be met with transport chariots. Sombra had been moved up to the main throne room with my help. I was needed because he was surprisingly resistant to magic and also very heavy. “Celestia you do know that you will not be able to save them all,” he said. “I can try to get as many out as I can.” “I can only guess you are taking women and children first especially the newly born princess.” “You are correct.” “You should leave.” “Why?” “Although I dislike you we both have a common enemy…Malice. I cannot survive and stop him so you must Celestia.” “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” “Yes.” “I plan on leaving late tonight.” “That is good because the bomb will go off in 12 hours and for once I am happy you are escaping.” “I have many things to attend to good bye Sombra and good luck on the other side.” “Good luck to you to Celestia.” Author's Note What do you think will happen next. Especially with the added Biomachine. criticism is great but please go easy on me.
A new life filled with excitementAh well where do I start with this story. I guess at the beginning the very first step into my story. Well prepare to be amazed or not it’s up to you. It was a bright summer day a day of beauty a day of life. This was the last day of school and the day before my eighteenth birthday. All except for me I had just finished school when something incredible unpredictable happened as I was rushing to my car. I found a penny with the head side up and then I got hit by a school bus. That my friends is the end of my story…not. After I had been hit it was like everything froze in a split second as I was sent flying away from the bus. Then something popped in front of me with words reading. “You have been chosen for the power lottery due to your untimely demise.” In my mind i was thinking well how do i start this thing when it responded. “You will tap these three white screens.” As the letters popped up three screens also did. “They will then randomly select three powers for you to use on you journey. Within this journey you may do what you wish weather it be peaceful or full of action. Kindness or cruelty.” I tapped the three screens and three types of powers emerged from the white ness. They were listed “Missile generation, gas manipulation, and technological constructs.” “Well these are quite interesting powers.” “As a gift your benefactor has allowed you to decide between there regions of where you are going to spawn. Desert, forest, or ocean shore.” “I choose ocean shore.” “Prepare for transport and may the odds be ever in your favor.” After those words I blacked out. Only to awaken seconds later to find myself upon a deserted beach. "Well this is going to be a new change." Suddenly from behind me I heard a gunshot ring out. "BANG!" The ground in front of me exploded into a shower of sand. "Oh shit!" I quickly ran behind the closest rock and shouted. "Hey whoever you are I am an alive and sentient being and I would very much not like to be killed." "Oi da name's Spot On and I'm the best shot in all of these here islands." Ok so I'm on an island. "Well why are you trying to kill me?" "Cause you scared away ma prey. The rare white dodo bird one of the last of it's kind they say." "BANG!" More exploding sand. What was one of my powers I could use on this guy? Damn it brain why are you so slow. "If it's rare isn't it illegal to hunt it?" "Yea but da princesses don't have no power here just me, my prey, and you. Except now it's just me and my prey which is now you." Come on brain. Ah ha! Missile generation. "Hey just a question what type of gun you got there?" "Your gonna die soon any way so might as well tell ya. It's the best musket on the market only takes two minutes to reload and better accuracy." "Wow! Lot of fire power you got there." So lets see a small explosion missile about five foot in diameter explosion. Now after his next shot he gets a missile to the face. "I also got my trusty flintlock pistol this things saved my life more than once." Shit he has two guns. "BANG!" Well it's now or never. I quickly jumped out of my hiding place stretching my arm out and imagining a large missile above it just the way I planned it. To my surprise it actually worked. The creature shooting at me appeared to be a large black and red bipedal bird lion creature dressed in camouflage jacket and pants. We both then said almost the exact same thing. "What the fuck." "What the buck." The creature pulled out it's pistol and I shot my missile just as I felt the pain of a bullet go through my right leg. Lucky for me I didn't black out or else I wouldn't be able to see the light show. As the missile drew closer to the hybrid even from my distance I could see it's fear.A few milliseconds later. "KABOOM!" The hybrid exploded not even leaving any blood it was completely disintegrated. After the amazing light show I was left with just one thing the pain of a hole in my leg. Now what was that one other power to do with nanites repairing body parts oh ye technological constructs. Well let's get to it then. It had been about thirty minutes of me bleeding out when I figured out how to make a few replicating nanites to repair my leg. Unfortunately I didn't know how long it would take but was surprised when it only took about ten painless minutes. "Wow that was fast. So now that i have control over these few nanites let's see how I can do with a few more." I quickly made a cloud of about three thousand nanites. This is easier than I thought it would be. Now what can I do with them. Oh I know. I slowly inserted them into my body telling them to strengthen my muscles and bones. So far that I would be super human able to lift anything around the weight of three tons. With my body repaired and ready to go I decided that it would be a good idea to find or build shelter. I doubted the nanites could build a house and I didn't want to build a suit of armor until I mastered the control of nanites. So I walked along the shore until I found a large clearing with a tent and a fire. "This must have been Spot On's camp site." Luckily it seemed that he was alone. The site consisted of a tent, a burnt out campfire, a large log that it seemed he had sat upon, an extra musket, ammunition for the musket, and a packet of crackers. "This musket will definitely come in handy until I figure out how to work my nanites and do small explosions rather than larger ones. As I looked into the sky I saw that it was getting close to night time so while there was still some light left I went and got some fire wood. "Crap I don't have any thing to light it with." Wait another one of my abilities is gas manipulation. If I create some flammable gas and use the sparker on the musket to light is on fire I can continuously fuel it and light my fire. That is exactly what I proceeded to do. "I have made fire!" Having made my fire I sat there until I felt tired looking at my watch I could see it was around nine thirty I decided to turn in for the night. To me it seemed that since the fire was already running low I would leave it going to scare off any predators. Taking the musket some ammunition and a knife I found under the log into the tent I slipped under the blankets within to get a somewhat good nights rest. Author's Note Constructive criticism would be awesome since this is my very first fanfic.
Deadly Duels, Healing Spells, and Terrifying Tests(POV Malice) “So this is what you meant by drones usurping the throne.” “Drone get off of my throne and bow to your leader.” “Former leader i’m in charge now Chrysalis or should I call you slave for that is what you will be to me HAHAHAHAHA.” “Wow really evil villain laugh.” “Shut it creature.” “No you are not going to talk to my friends like that understand and so with the power I hold. I MALICE YOU CHITIN TO A DEATH BATTLE WINNER TAKES THE HIVE!” “No.” “Oh I see you believe yourself to weak to fight me. Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone cause they can already see it.” “I AM NOT WEAK!” “Then accept the challenge.” “Fine I King Chitin accept you terms and agree to this duel but only if there are no firearms only swords, shields, and magic.” “Fine by me,” I said while putting my guns to the side and pulling out my energy sword and activating my jackal shield. “The duel is to the death only one survivor,” He said while pulling out a large sword that seemed to be made from the black chitin of a changeling. “Then stop stalling…weakling,” After that one word he charged head on at me. I readied my shield and armed my energy sword. “Come at me bitch.” (POV Chrysalis) I watched as Chitin charged at Malice sword in hand ready to cleave his head from his body. At my side I could hear the four drones that were with us shouting at him to move. I would have done the same until I saw his stance. He was ready to move out of the way of the charging king. “Do not worry my drones he shall be fine.” “How do you know my queen?” “Just watch.” The drones obeyed me and just in time to if we had been a few seconds more we would not have been able to see the battle that took place. (POV Malice) As the changeling king charged at me I thought about how many ways I could kill him. My thoughts were interrupted by the small drones yelling at me. Oh well might as well give them a show. Readying myself I waited till the proper moment. Time seemed to slow and my mind seemed to speed up. as he reached me I twisted my body to the side and stuck out my foot tripping him. His face plant was one that should have been in history books but what happened next was the grand finally his death. (POV Chitin) This stupid beast shall fall and I shall do with Chrysalis what I like. Slowly standing up I looked at the creature’s reflective face mask and saw my busted and bleeding snout. Turning towards it I brought up my sword to block it’s attack. Only to have my sword cut in two by the glowing blade. It then proceeded to ram me with it’s magic shield, knocking me off balance, and throwing me to the ground. (Drone with red eyes) I can’t believe it he cut Chitin’s sword in two and then he knocked him to the ground. In my mind I had no doubt that this would be our new King. (POV Malice) Chitin lay on the ground in front of me pleading for his life. Just like all beings he just wanted to live another day. “Please don’t kill me. I…I’ll give you anything you want.” “I want your skull as my trophy,” I whispered to him. “No please no.” “Pitiful you would have ran this hive to it’s death within hours of your rule,” I said while slowly walking towards him. Unfortunately I didn’t see his slight nod to his companions until Chrysalis yelled at me. “Malice behind you.” Turning around I saw four changelings rushing at me knives drawn. I acted on instinct stretching my arm out and shooting red whips of smoke into their lungs. They then fell to the ground coughing as their throats swelled cutting off their oxygen supply. “Chlorine gas,” I whispered to my self. “Fellow changelings do you not see this creature is a monster,” Chitin said to the congregation of changelings. “No he is not. He saved me and these four drones from the royal guards by killing twenty of them.” Murmurs of the word “twenty” went around the room. With Chitin’s followers dead or dying I turned to him. “Ah Chitin this is where your story ends and a new one begins,” I said while picking him up by the throat. “I AM THE NEW KING OF THE CHANGELINGS KING MALICE!” I shouted as I plunged my energy sword into his gut and letting his corpse hang there for a second or two before deactivating my sword and letting him fall to the ground. “All hail King Malice!” Shouted one changeling causing the room to be filled with the sounds of cheering. “Yes all hail the King,” I whispered looking over at Chrysalis. (POV Celestia) Luna and I were ready. We had studied as many healing spells as we could find before going into Rainbow Dash’s room where her friends were waiting. We had mentally prepared ourselves for the disgusting sight of Rainbow Dash’s injuries. “Princess do you think it will work,” Twilight asked. “I do not know if it will and neither does Luna,” I sighed. “We have not seen wounds like these in over a thousand years.” “But you can at least stop the pain right?” Asked Fluttershy. “Yes we shall at least stop the pain and heal her skin but her wings may take some time.” “Sister?” “Yes Luna.” “Shall we begin?” “Yes we should,” I said while powering up my horn as Luna did the same. We then both combined our power shooting a blinding white beam of magic at Rainbow’s prone form. (POV Twilight) For a few minutes I could not see what was happening but eventually the princesses ended the beam. The first of us five to go up was surprisingly Fluttershy behind her were the other three and then last was me. What we saw terrified me. Rainbow’s right wing had no feathers on it, one of her legs was missing part of it, and all her hair was gone. “I am sorry we could not regenerate her feathers. Whatever Malice did it is blocking most of the healing spell’s power.” “How princess he has no magic?” “I do not know but with all the hate he put into his missile I believe it could be affecting the wound.” “That would make some sense because hate is a very strong magic nearly as powerful as friendship.” “Yes it is.” (Malice) It had been a few hours since I killed Chitin and at the moment I was speaking with Chrysalis about how much food she has. “We do not have much love left and the captured ponies seem to be running dry.” “Running dry?” I was not surprised about the captured ponies because she told me that changelings cannot create their own love. “Yes the ponies have started to realize where they are and are holding back love from us.” “Hmmm. The first pony to run dry I want taken down to that room I asked you for and strapped down to a table.” “What do you plan to do?” “I plan to study our enemy,” I said as Chrysalis’s eyes widened realizing what I was planning to do. “Also using your magic can you make the room sound proof?” “Yes I can.” “Excellent,” I said while imitating a character from a show I used to watch on earth. “What are you doing with your hands.” “Nothing,” I quickly responded. “It’s just something from my home.” “Also what do you want us to do with the guards you killed.” “Take them down to the room too and don’t worry I’m not going to dissect them I’m just going to study them.” “The same way you are going to study that pony?” She said with a hint of worry on her face. “No I’m not going to study them that way because even though they are dead and they were working for Chitin they are still my people or changelings whichever you prefer.” “Oh good.” “The reason I need them is to study the way you bodies function so I can build new armor for them.” “But we already have natural armor why would we need more?” “Because I easily hurled a spear through one of them and even without my super strength it is easy to pass through.” “Oh ok,” She replied. “And why do you need the pony.” “I need to study their weak spots so that we know where to shoot also I don’t know if their organs are arranged the same way yours or mine are,” I explained. “Also can you get someone to move these guard’s bodies to the same place?” “Yes I will do that right now.” “Good now I’m going to sit on my throne,” After that sentence she quickly walked out of the throne room to go do whatever she does down here. (POV random pony) “What the buck where am I, I said looking around the dark room. “You are in my lab,” said a malevolent and mysterious voice. “Where are you?” I asked looking to where I thought the voice was and seeing two things. The first was a large digging thing and the second was a glowing cube with a sphere on top. “Well I’m right here,” said the voice as a black armored creature came into vision. “What’s going on here?” “Oh nothing I’m just conducting a study.” “What type of study.” “one where you have two choices,” It said while turning on a light and putting up a large drawing of a pony’s body from the front, the back, and the side. “Choice one is you tell me what I want to know.” “And choice two?” “I get it my own way,” The creature stated while pulling out a large blade from a table lined with saws, drills, scissors, and other cutting tools. “Wait are you going to dissect me?” I said while noticing my hands and legs were tied down. “Only if I have to,” It said while putting the knife away. (POV Malice) “Now what is your name?” “It’s Molotov.” “Special tallent?” “Burning things.” “Good good. Now I am going to untie you hands so don’t do anything stupid ok.” “Ok,” Molotov said as I untied him.” “Now on this diagram where is a pony’s heart?” Molotov pointed to the center of the chest. “Hmmm different then my body structure already.” “So are you conducting a study of a ponies body cause if you want a unicorn or pegasus I can’t help they've got their own body structures.” “Ok then thank you for that information.” “Your welcome.” “Now next question where are your lungs?” “In the middle of the chest it’s the same on all ponies but thats the only one I know of that’s the same.” “Good I am glad you are being cooperative.” This pony is doing very well I thought I would have to use my ‘tools’ but no he is doing just fine. Our questions went further into the night until about seven o’clock. “You must be getting hungry.” “A little bit but I doubt you have anything for me because you changelings only eat love.” “Well I’m not a changeling. Now since you have been so cooperative I am going to let you off the table but I will have to but and eight foot wall around so that you cant leave ok.” “It’s not like I could there’s probably at least a hundred changelings out there.” “That is true but a their king I have an status I have to live up to.” “Ok also if you get food don’t get the blue flowers they cause awful side effects.” “Thanks for the information,” I said as I build the wall and then jet packed over it and quickly walking out the door only to run into the changeling with red eyes. “Oh my king I am quite sorry are you all right.” “I am fine but I have a question for you.” “What is it my king?” “Why do you have red eyes while the rest have green?” “Oh that well I am one of the last drones from another colony that was wiped out by the ponies so my eye colors are different.” “And why are you taller than the others?” “Because I have the capability to become a queen but I promise not to try and usurp the throne from you my king.” “I understand now.” “I am sorry my king but I must go back to my duties.” “Wait because of your status I would like to give you a name if that is aright with you.” “A name but those are reserved for kings and queens of the hive.” “I believe that everyone should have a name but first is yours. Hmmm how about Ruby because of your eyes.” “It sounds amazing my king thank you so very much.” “Now I have another question where can I get some food around here?” “Well we don’t have much love left but we can spare some.” “I don’t eat love I eat meat and vegetables.” “Like the dragons and the ponies?” “Yes like them.” “I can send a group of warriors and normal drones to go get some meat and food for you.” “That would be great now come and notify me when they return with some food.” “Yes my king,” she said as she walked off. Now to go speak with molotov some more. I then turned around and went back through the doors. (POV Molotov) I wonder if I’ll ever leave this place or if I’ll be a test subject forever. My family has probably given up after all it has been two or three years since the invasion of Canterlot they probably think I’m dead. Wouldn’t matter anyways I would just go back to prison. “Molotov.” “Oh hey Malice what’s up?” “What did you do in Equestria?” “I was a criminal.” “Why?” “For openly speaking about the horrors that she was doing behind their backs.” “Like what?” “What I mostly didn’t like was the tests I heard about and how she refused to help the changelings which then forced them to invade.” “Tests?” “Most on changelings. Like the one where how it would respond to being pumped full of love some what like an overdose.” “And what happened?” “Think about a balloon that is filled up to much after a few seconds POP it explodes.” “Hmmm that is quite a horrible test.” “But that’s not all. Some of her subjects were ponies criminals like me the tests were things like magical feedback resistance, super serums, and pain tolerance. She treated them like they couldn’t even feel it.” “Wow that is horrible.” “I know right.” “But there is something I have to ask. do you have any loyalty to Celestia?” “No I have absolutely no loyalty to her.” “Hmmm I had something else to tell you.” “What is it?” “Well the changelings are bringing us some food but the problem is they probably think I’m torturing you.” “Why?” “Because I told them I was going to study you.” “Oh that type of study so is this the part where you kill me?” “Yes and no I am going to give you another choice.” “What are the choices?” “Well first off I am doing a test on what it would do to meld flesh with machine.” “Like a cyborg.” “Yes like a cyborg. I have two changing bodies that I was testing on before they brought you in here,” Malice said as he pulled out a body with it’s right arm being a saw and instead of wings it had fire coming from two small tubes on it’s back. “This one was of course a test and barely has a brain but thats mostly because I killed it first.” “And the second?” “He turned out better but with the same amount of brain power.” “Oh how so.” “He is incased in a metallic body with a large chain gun strapped to his back along with a grenade launcher and a anti air rocket launcher.” “Don’t know what those are but it sounds cool.” “Oh it is but back to the choices. The first is death.” “Not for me.” “And the second is you become one of my cyborgs and wear this helmet,” He said pulling out a black helmet with a glass front that I couldn’t see past.” “Cool.” “Oh course if you choose this action then there will be a lot more choices for your suit.” “I choose cyborg mode.” “Well let’s get started then.” (POV Molotov) System reboot in progress Wha why is it so dark? Deactivating visor shield After those words I could see again but it seemed somewhat different. Activating HUD Instantly multiple items sprang up in my vision. One of them looked like it was telling the time. Activating motor controls and sensor implants Suddenly I could move my arms, legs, and head. “Molotov,” I heard a voice to my left and looked words it and saw Malice sitting at a desk in front of a bunch of glass objects and buttons. “What’s up,” I said now finally hearing my voice. It was the same as before but had a small buzz to it. “What’s with my voice?” “Oh it must be because of the helmet or the augmentations.” “Ok.” “Now for some tests. Can you stand up?” “I’ll try,” I then stood up like I normally would but now I was around twice his hight. “Wow I’m so tall.” “Yes that would be the metallic body suit around you. Now look left and right,” I did as he said. “Good now up and down,” I completed those objectives too. “Try moving your arms around,” I did as he asked moving them in all different directions and then looking at them. “Wow this is so cool.” “Now for the HUD check. In the top right of your vision can you see the time?” “Yes it says 7:00pm.” “Correct. Next what do you see in the top left?” “It has some sort of musket with numbers next to it and then under it there is a long tube with a box on one end and a small flame on the other.” “Good now you can either say this or think.” “Think what?” “I was getting to that as I was saying you can say or think the words ‘flame thrower activate’ understand.” “Ok I’ll try it. “FLAME THROWER ACTIVATE,” Only a few seconds after those words the front of my left forearm popped up and a tube with a small flame came out of it. “What does this do?” “Clench your left fist really hard,” I did as he told me and to my surprise a large stream of fire flew out of it. “Woah.” “Cool right now try thinking about it deactivating,” I did as he told me and thought about it deactivating and with that thought the tube slid back into it’s slot and my forearm went back to it’s original place. “Now reach behind your back for a large musket grip and pullet from your back,” I did as told and found the odd musket. Once I had pulled around I saw that it had six barrels instead of just one. “That is your chain gun the barrels rotate and fire fifty bullets per-second.” “Wow.” “Go ahead and try it out I put up a target to your left.” “Ok I will,” I then did as he said placing the musket in both hands and setting my legs right I aimed the ‘chain gun’ down range and pulled the trigger. “BUZZZZZZZZZZZ,” was the sound it made as it fired. “Good good that is all for now so put the gun back and take off your helmet by lightly grabbing it twisting left until it clicks and then pulling up,” I did as he demonstrated and pulled it off. “This is quite new to me and will take some getting used to.” “Yes it will but first let’s go eat my changelings brought us some meat and vegetables I will have to cook the meat myself but it does not matter cause I get to do it my own special way but I have no clue what you got.” “They got me dandelions, grass, and hay it’s not that bad actually so they did a pretty good job.” “Yes yes they did.” Author's Note Longest Chapter yet. Again if you have any criticism then go ahead and tell me.
