Pulse Ready

I heard a faint beep as a pulse emitted from the suit, scanning the area around to display a map. The scan could reach up to one hundred miles max (fifty minimum), and I could see in the map that I was far away from the mountain.

In fact, I took this as a good sign and tried to relax while walking. The forest actually helped, with the birds singing, flowers blooming, the sound of the leaves rustling through the wind it all helped me calm down.

Despite how peaceful the forest was, it didn't make me forget my predicament. I'm M.I.A, I should be dead. I was impaled through the heart into my spine then out my back by the Spire.

I feel like I'm forgetting something, but the longer I think about it the more my head hurts. I had found a cool little cave that I decided to use as a camp, and went to get some wood - I can survive without fire because of the Nanosuit, but I like to see without using Nanovision.

I placed my weapons in the cave, including the J.A.W and SCARAB, but kept the Hammer with me just in case. It took me awhile to find dry wood (I guess it rained not too long ago), but after scavenging enough, I went back to the cave and set up a neat little camp fire with the rocks surrounding the twigs and sticks before taking out a lighter.

I looked at the lighter and read the name that was written on the side - Ben. I shook my head before lighting the flame and inching the lighter close enough to the stack of sticks and twigs.

After a few fruitless tries, the sticks finally caught on fire and the cave was lit in a bright light. I sat down and placed my arms on my knees before taking the helmet off, shutting down the HUD before pulling it off.

I held the helmet in front of me, seeing my reflection on the red visor. I still had the scar over my eye, on my right cheek and a triangular shaped scar from a fight I had with Ceph that had managed to punch off my helmet before it went down. I sighed before placing the helmet next to me on the ground.

“This...this takes the cake, I thought I've experienced the worst, nope.” I said before burying my face into my hands, feeling the cold nanofiber of the suit.

Meanwhile, back in Canterlot

The two princesses were at a loss for words for what they had witness only an hour ago. Twilight Sparkle being the very intelligent one, almost smarter than her teacher but she wasn't quite there yet, tried (and failed) to come up with a logical explanation for the strength that the stallion known as Sentinel showed in the holding cell.

He even dropped down to the forest, survived and ran away. It was just an impossibility without magic - and he was an Earth Pony for Celestia’s sake!

“Tia?” Luna called out for her dear sister. Celestia turned to her baby sister, waiting to hear what she has to say.

“Shouldn't we try to look for him?” Luna suggested. Celestia pondered at this, for all they know this Sentinel could wipe the floor with anyone that dares to annoy him and that troubled the Sun Deity.

“Alright, but we must be careful with him and send only our strongest elites-” The elder sibling was cut off by her sister.

“I meant search for him ourselves, I'm sure that if he were to attack us, we would overpower him.” Luna said, clarifying her earlier suggestion. Celestia was about to answer but was cut off by a loud pop. Looking back around the room they sat in, she noticed that Twilight was gone. Celestia hoped that she wasn't going to do what she thought Twilight is doing, namely looking for Sentinel.

Celestia stood up from her chair and was about to follow her student but felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to look at her sister.

“If Twilight wants to do this, let her. Let's see where this will go.” She said. Celestia looked back at the spot she last saw Twilight before sitting back down. Praying is one thing Celestia rarely ever does but every time her faithful student is facing something dangerous, Celestia would be praying for any Gods or Goddesses for Twilight's safety. This time, however, she would pray more than she ever had before.

I stared at the fire for God knows how long. I just don't want to do anything, I give up. I've broken two promises and the worse part is I won't be able to see my sister again.

I had been spinning the helmet around on my hand for entertainment, but doing so only made sitting around all the more unbearable. This suit was supposed to save the lives of millions and take out the Ceph threat - but how was it going to do that if I'm in another world wearing the goddamn thing.

After an hour of literally nothing to do, I decided to form a map of the entire forest just because I could. I took out my Hammer and put on my helmet before venturing into the forest while the sun was setting. I looked at my hand before opening it and showing a small menu, moving my fingers slightly, I chose the proximity scan module before hearing the suit.

Pulse Ready

With that I started heading west, towards a lake. On the way, I could hear growls and snarls around me, likely the sound of predators examining me or something, because this lasted for six minutes before they left. I finally arrived at a large lake just as the sun finally set, allowing the moon to slowly rise up and take it's place.

As I was inches away from the actual water, I knelt down and took off my helmet before taking a nice handful of water. It was nice and refreshing, but did nothing to sate my hunger. Hearing the rustling of bushes nearby, I quickly put the helmet on and watched as a large beast walked out of the tree line headed straight for the water. It lowered its head before drinking from the lake’s contents.

The beast had a body of a lion, a scorpion's tail, and a pair of dragon-like wings. Yet another big what the fuck about this place. It turned to look at me and before growling and taking an aggressive stance. I stood my ground, ready to defend myself. The beast pounced and I stepped to the side, as it landed roughly on the ground, I took hold of its tail and heard the suit talk.

I gave the tail a mighty pull and smashed the beast onto floor in front of me before doing so again three time before the suits energy was drained - which caused me to feel the beast’s actual weight - before dropping it, head first onto the ground. As soon as the energy in the suit was restored, I stood on the weakened beast's neck. I applied more pressure before earning a satisfying crack, along with the beast going limp.

Before I could even move my foot back, I felt the suit morph and it was painful. It felt like being shot fifty times over, it was so painful, I got on one knee as I clutched onto my chest. I held my hand where I could see it, and watched as the Nanofiber was growing into large, sharp claws. The same thing with my other hand. I grasped my head in pain before falling onto the floor.

The pain left just as the suit announced that. I couldn't move, my heart felt like it had stopped. Sudden I felt a jolt of electricity course through my body, causing it to twitch before another jolt was felt. After the second time, my vitals stabilized and returned back to normal and I was able to get up. As I saw up and was about to take off my helmet, I saw my hand grew an insanely large claw.

I was surprised, the suit added another mode. I, however, had several questions - ones like why now, and why did I get by taking a sample from whatever just attacked me? Looking over the changes further, I saw two mechanical tendrils extend into my line of sight. After feeling them and examining them fully, I realized that I had full control of both of these things.

I turned to look at the corpse of the dead beast before decided to bury it as a sign of respect. After digging a hole with my claws and then placing the body inside, I began walking around the forest while emitting pulses on the way, allowing my mini map to expand with each pulse wave.

I stopped as the pulse detected a few signs of life. I wanted to test the new feature to suit and decided to see if I was extremely agile, as the structure of the suit now seemed to imply. With that in mind, I jumped onto a tree branch and started running along the branches.

Twilight Sparkle was known throughout Equestria as Princess Celestia's personal student and a very intelligent mare. If Ponies were to examine the situation she placed herself in, they would put Dangerously Curious along with her other titles.

Not only had she left her teacher to get answers from the strange new stallion himself, a task that many would disregard as suicidal, but she also didn't notice her exhaustion from the effectively-cancelled wedding merely hours prior. The teleportation spell was the last thing she did before collapsing on the grass. She had only just woken up, which was of course a bad thing for various reasons. The forest she had quickly transported to was none other than the Infamous Everfree Forest.

Once fully aware of her situation, she had noticed she was being dragged. Trying to move her arms, only to find them tied up behind her back.

“Me thinks this pony will be great for digging.” A raspy voice was heard before a chuckle.

“Shut up, Rex.” Another voice was heard. She looked down and saw that she was being dragged by two diamond dogs. Twilight didn't know what to do, for one this was her fault entirely and all because she didn't understand something that she thought was impossible, yet visibly made possible by an Earth Pony.

“I smells something, above us.” Twilight heard, curiously looked up and saw something that was straight out of nightmare as it dropped onto the two dogs. Two tendrils lowered themselves and took hold of both dogs before the mechanical nightmare took a closer look at them. It then turned to look at Twilight, making her cower in its gaze. The silence was broken by the dogs choking for air before they were dropped onto the floor.

“Don't let me catch you here again, or else.” The thing said, earning rapid nods from them both before high tailing it out of there.

Before Twilight could let out even a small breath of air she held, the thing turned to look at her before bending over to pick her up. Twilight, scared out of her mind tried to blind it with a flash spell. However, it didn't seem to even faze the thing before a voice was heard.

Energy Depleted
Changing back to Default Mode

The claws and metal spikes of the thing shrunk into the body as well as the tendrils, only leaving a few plates of metal before finally the head changed into a familiar one. Before another word could be said, he picked her up and walked deeper into the forest without her consent. Twilight noticed her exhaustion while being carried to Celestia knows where before closing her eyes and fell asleep.

As I carried this mare, Twilight if I'm not mistaken, back to my little abode, I could hear snoring coming from her. I ignored her but I have to admit, her snores sounded very cute. As I reached the cave, I saw three wolves inside. At first, I understood the reason but then I saw that instead of skin and fur, they were made entirely out of wood.

After a few bites and scratches, I showed them true fear by crushing their leader’s head and letting them off with a warning. I guess they understood since they left seconds later, leaving the body of their leader behind for me to use as firewood.
