(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.”
