Code: Equestria
Corruption
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThis thing on? Good. Sorry Shadow, but looks like I'm covering for Amelia today. Hell where to begin? I do remember when the corruption began yes. It was...weird. Things seemed a bit...off. Normally peaceful animals became very agressive. That was the first change I noticed. Then came the storms. Us pegasi...we didn't plan them. They just sorta...happened. But we put it down to a random chance happening near Everfree, nothing to be worried about right? How wrong we were. I remember the day those monsters showed up. That was one helluva fight.

RAINBOW DAGGER
PONYVILLE, EQUESTRIA
5 YEARS IN THE FUTURE...
(Soarin's thoughts)
/Spitfire's thoughts/
"Yo Thunder! Looks like another group of those storm clouds near Everfree. Mind if I check it out?"
"Go ahead. Those things have been muckin up our stuff for awhile. Dash might even give you a raise." I chuckled at that. Rainbow Dash was known for her laziness. She'd pay anyone extra to do the stuff she was supposed to. Currently, she was SUPPOSED to be clearing up those stray storm clouds. However, she was likely napping on a cloud instead.
(Y'know who she reminds me of? That one time in college, with-)
(Never should've told you about that.)
/Just a quick question, when will we go back to OUR bodies? As in, our original bodies. I still hate that there are zombie us's somewhere out there in this world./
(In other words, whenever we ain't broke as shit.)
I finally got a good look at it. It didn't look like a regular rain cloud. It was pitch black, like a shadow yet it had flecks of red in it. I'd seen the weather from all over the land of Equestria, and I'd never seen anything like it. Even stranger is that it seemed to be alive. Breathing. Probably just my mind fuckin with me.
(I assure you, no foreplay is happening up here.)
(...blow me.)
*skit skit skit skit* The sound of skittering made me look down. A few metal monstrosities were moving about. I threw myself into a nosedive and tucked my wings in.
(What are you, twelve?)
I pulled up to see...what the fuck was I seeing?
XXXXX
What? That's really what I said! What do you mean overused line. Y'know what? Fuck you. Where was I? Oh yes.
XXXXX
The machines looked like crabs. The had three legs and one giant head. It had only one eye, or so it appeared. It was shaped like a target, but had a few differences. Whatever it was, it wasn't from this world. The carvings weren't anything Equestrian, the craftmanship was too good for Diamond Dogs, and Griffin's wouldn't be able to find the materials for something like this.
/Aliens don't exist Sean/
/You don't think?/
(Yea cause you're a fuckin anthropologist.)
(SEAN! You can suck my dick.)
/Well actually he can't cause-/
(It's an expression. God I hate having a sister.)
/And I hate having a pig./
BZZZT!
A red beam fired out of the machine and hit me, defusing the arguement.
Another beam fired at me. However, this time I was ready for it. I closed my eyes, and used my magic to recreate a lightsaber. Right before I got hit, I deflected it back.
/Course it would work. You still have the chip./
I subconsciously rubbed the back of my neck before deflecting another shot at me.
(OI! Less sobby more killy!)
Soarin' was right. I cleared my head. The lazers shot past me. I saw that there were only three. This should be easy. I hopped up onto my back two hooves, and used my wings to keep balance. A model of the L118A appeared in my hooves. I looked at the middle one, zoomed in, and shot at the target on it's face. The shot rocked the body so hard it exploded! The explosion knocked the other two on their sides. I flew over to them and curb stomped them into submission.
As if to answer, the trees shook and twenty of the skittering machines came out, along with their much bigger brothers. These one's looked like a proper crab. Bringing up the rear were a few metal ball things. I couldn't see the markings on it. The crab's markings were on top. They all stared at me for a few seconds. Without warning, the balls opened up and shot a lazer wall at me. All the crabs opened fire on me. I did what any sane person would.
I turned tail and ran.

That's what happened the day she showed up. Needless to say, the mane six weren't the most welcoming of ponies. Half the town was already destroyed, and her and her friends were in the middle of it. If she wasn't like us, she would've been thrown in jail, and shit woulda gona a bit differently. Now then, I did the interview, give me those tickets. I can finally get these voices out of my head.
