AVP: After the Fall

"It is wonderful to be on solid ground again, don't get me wrong but is there anything else you would like me to do that is unnecessary?"Velvet leaned up against a glass wall and a red laser began to scan her body for anything foreign or deadly. "I was just in charge of the papers and not some Weyland troop or commander..." As the scan completed itself, Coco rolled her eyes starting to get agitated with the all the negative or stupid remarks. The room they were in was some kind of interrogation cell. The walls were all metal and covered in a thin layer of glass to give the whole area a reflection. No matter where Velvet looked she could see herself staring back.

"Can we begin, Velvet?" Coco Pommel took a seat and rubbed her hoof hard against the table. The android's eyes were red still and didn't show a sign of dimming down. "I may be with Seegson Security now but I am far from kind ... so try not to bump me in the wrong ways" The room went silent for a moment and then she took out a folder. It was rather thick and had Velvet's name stamped on it, they both looked at it and then Coco let out a deep breath. Ready to begin and get this over with.

"What do you wanna know? That you don't already know, Coco" Velvet remained calm, moving a stray strand of mane from her eyes. This was going to be a long day.

"Let's begin with what you were doing up in orbit so close to Wey-U Station's remains. Looking for something, somepony?"

"I ran out of fuel"

"That's bullshit!! You cannot just change what you said! Not when it involves her and that station!" Coco got up and growled to herself, this was surprising to Velvet because she didn't expect Coco to loose her temper already. "You did not just run out of fuel ... I am not that clueless because I am a machine" taking a rather deep breath Coco moved back over to the table, opening up the folder there was allot of pictures of Wey-U Station and others showed images of Xenos. "What ... are you looking for up there? Don't say you ran out of fuel or I will rip your stupid teeth from your face" Coco looked up from the photos and to Velvet once again, waiting for a truthful response.

"I had to go to my daughters funeral, a parent should not ever have to do that. I went to something that shouldn't be and that is because she is not dead! Your leaders talk about how horrible Weyland Yutani Corporation is but they always forget the important aspects of the truth!! We only become a problem when it benefits the company ... your company ... you will betray anypony for anything just to save yourselves" Coco listened and Velvet stood up from her seat continuing the rant about what was the truth and what was lies. "Valuntas Station, you said it was Weyland androids that went psychotic and began killing the innocent to save your own image because of the truth of that matter, Weyland Yutani never made androids ... Seegson Security is in charge of that area of artificial protection! The only android that was the property of us was you!!" Coco was about to speak but she was unable because the mother of Twilight Sparkle was still throwing out too much information. "You lied about that and the knowledge of the Xenomorphs! Today you are lying again with saying my daughter is dead ... to protect your image and to destroy the Weyland image" the room went silent, there was nothing more to say and Coco Pommel was shocked that Velvet knew so much. The silence was broken as both mares stood up.

"Thank you? I am not sure if I can thank you or hate you more. Welcome back to Equestria Velvet ... it is just a shame you will be spending it here in captivity" Coco smiled and headed for the door, opening it halfway she stops and looks back. "Twilight ... Twilight Sparkle is dead ... I saw it with my own eyes, I am sorry"

Sunset's face was now shoved up against the pillow, tears falling at a fast pace up against the white cover. Several photos were laying on the sheets of the bed, Twilight Sparkle was in every single one of them. The unicorn screamed and began to smack the bed with her hooves and slammed her face up then down as she screamed. Going limp after awhile she lay perfectly still on the bed softly crying, missing Twilight still after these years of her funeral. Iron Will was at the door peeking in, the sadness on his face was overpowering and the guilts of the past were getting the best of him. The minotaur stepped away and headed downstairs to clear his mind, he let his hand slide against the wall of the stairwell. The moonlight shined in through the windows of the house beating down on white carpeted floor, Iron Will was thinking back to Valuntas Station about everything he did so wrong.Entering the kitchen now he began to imagine how life would be if Twilight hadn't died, if she was here Scootaloo would have never joined Seegson in the battle and Sunset Shimmer wouldn't be crying so hard, so often.

"Good Captain I was not, Good guy? I don't even know if I can call myself one anymore. This whole world is screwed up!!" His eyes drifted across the table and then he saw the shine. Gash's tooth lay on the table still attached to the string but never given to Scootaloo like Twilight asked in her last moments. "Oh Gash, heh, you would have made a good protector for her against Weyland. Of course, you killed so many ponies and I personally do not miss your sorry ass but ... would things have been different if you managed to follow her to Wey-U?" Looking from the tooth to the clock he let out a sigh. "Looks like another day where we have to wait to give the tooth to her, I wish she would just come back to Ponyville and stay. I can only hope that they are keeping her away for something really important"

"You should start talking to me more, I don't like crying alone and you don't need to be afraid to join in" Sunset was leaning her body against the frame of the kitchen stove and her head was lowered. Iron Will turned around in his seat and smiled at the unicorn happy to see she was up now. "I didn't need to cry for hours this time. I hope she understands I miss her ... wherever she is" The unicorn slowly walked over to the table and sat down. She rubbed her forehead with a hoof and felt the warm hand of Iron Will rest on her shoulder.

"Do you not believe in something after death? She may be gone but she can still see us and I hope you believe that"

"I don't wanna believe she is dead, Iron Will"

Coco was back in the room talking with Velvet once again, while this was going on they were being monitored by somebody. A white coated stallion stood looking in and writing on the papers. His mane was a dark pine color with a solid black stripe going across the top of his head and down the back of his neck in the mane. He scanned the room with his green colored eyes and though he had never met Android Pommel before he could tell she was kind of a jerk.

"I am really glad I am on this side and not in the room with her! Hehe, she would rip right through me like a paper doll" Mint rubbed under his chin and gulped thinking about what the mare would do if he accidently crossed her. "How long does it take to interrogate somepony? My legs hurt and I am missing lunch..." Mint glared at the clock and licked his lips thinking about what everypony else was stuffing in their face. "It's pizza day! Awwwww~" One of the other workers in the room glared over at him and how silly he was behaving, Mint didn't really care because all he really wanted to do was hang out in the lunch room, listen to some tunes, or maybe even be a little flirty with the mares. On the other side of the glass, Coco continued to scream at Velvet and Mint couldn't help but keep his hoof ready to push the security button. Coco was starting to behave rather violently and that was not excepted. "Come on Coco, don't make me press this button today. I don't like filling out paperwork..."

"Tell me!!" Coco kicked the wall next to her with a hind leg creating small cracks in the surface of the wall. "I am tired of the games! Why is it that everypony in Equestria is some kind of wack job these days! You all complain that Seegson isn't doing enough for the world! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO GET THINGS DONE!! When all you ponies do is complain and make things harder!!" Coco's eyes turned a blood red and she walked up to the table. Velvets eyes widened as the android was now face to face with her, Coco pressed her right hoof against the seated mares chest and pushed back knocking the chair to the floor. "Tell me!!" Velvet heard a ringing in her ears as her head smacked the hard surface of the floor, with Coco now standing over her the odds did not look good. Mint Strings reacted with terror and also great disappointment as he slammed his hoof on the button. Immediately as he did a secret door opened and two working joes stepped out to grab Coco and pull her away.

"You're acting hysterical, please come with me" one of the bald-headed androids spoke and Coco pushed it away. The two droids, however, were persistent and thoughtless and continued to grab her until they were able to pull her away. "Please calm down" Mint rushed in the room and moved to Velvet to get her up.

"This interrogation is over Coco, get out of here! Shit, why does this place have to be so damn hectic?" Any event in Equestria, small or large these days did not take long to go in a dark direction these days. The times have been rough but Mint didn't wanna see it that way anymore because this way of life is way to hard and far to unessasary. Velvet looked up and smiled looking to the stallion who came to the rescue and spoke softly.

"I did it ... I finally did it ..."
