POV: Bolt first person

I found something out while I was learning how to read. I have two brains, though my brain’s are actually called processors. So, I’m learning either at two times the speed or learning two different things. Want to know how I know that? Well, I may or may not have played with them for a bit. I switched between using both to learn how to read and using one to learn how to read while I looked through my memory banks to see how I can enable or repair my systems with the other one. Turns out I need to be in sleep mode or charging to repair my systems but it takes awhile. But, I don’t want to sleep for a long time so I will have to deal with partially working systems for a long while.

After four hours of learning of how to read Spike suggested we take a break. While they took a break I kept trying to read. I then noticed something moving in the shadows. What ever I saw in the shadows then disappeared into the shadow itself. Part of me wanted to see where it went while the rest wanted to try and finish the book. Then, three things happened: one something in my mind said “void hunt override” and I stood up without me doing anything (still not using my left hind leg mind you), two I got a message that said “weapon systems ⅛ online”, third my threat level was raised to defcon 4. I then proceeded to walk out of the library.

“Uh Bolt are you ok?” Twilight asked me. I couldn’t answer the question.

POV shift: Twilight first person

Bolt is acting strange: first he stands up without warning, second his eyes change from their normal blue to yellow, thirdly he proceeded to go outside without answering me when I asked him if he was ok. Spike and I followed him until he got to the plaza. Bolt was looking around, though his gaze lingered on the shadows longer than anything else he looked at. Suddenly, a demonic roar rang out through the plaza and a black and purple monster attacked us. Bolt grabbed Spike and I and jumped back. When he put us down a hole opened in his side and out came a weapon of sorts.

Bolt’s eyes turned red and fired the weapon at the beast. The beast roared in pain but, launched itself into the air and slammed a claw into Bolt. I noticed Bolt was bleeding but that wasn’t normal blood though it was pure harmony magic. Bolt then bucked the monster with his one uninjured hind leg. Spike was terrified of the beast but was in awe of Bolt who kept firing that weapon of his at the beast. One thing I noticed though was that wherever the beast punched and hit something other than Bolt black and purple goo would spread.

In the end Bolt won with the beast letting out one final roar before exploding on a black and purple cloud. Bolt’s eyes turned back to yellow looked around one final time and then his eyes turned change to blue. Bolt was stiff as a board and shaking slightly. So, I went to see if he was ok.

POV shift: Bolt first person

I am not just scared I am TERRIFIED. I mean I know what a void is now thanks to the warning but what scared me the most was when I lost control of my body for a while to the void hunter override. My defcon is lowered to 5 and I am standing there shaking.

“Hey are you ok Bolt?” Twilight asked. I shook my head no.”Bolt what happened back there you wouldn’t respond to anything”

“I don’t know Twilight I just kinda blanked out for the most part starting when I stood up suddenly back in the library”

“Well what can you remember?”

“I saw something in the shadows and something said to take caution and I went blank after that”

“Hmm ok as long as you are alright I’m fine but, what was that monster?”

“It’s called a void”

“A void isn’t that what you are to scout for?”

“Yes”

“Were you scared?”

“Yes”

Man Twilight likes to ask questions. And I mean a lot of questions.

“Hey Bolt?” Twilight started “would you like to come back to ponyville with me?”

“I don’t know is there any harmony magic there?” I inquired

“Well it isn’t that far of a walk from the tree of harmony so if you ever need to absorb more we can walk you there “ she answered

“I guess I will go then”

“I just know you are gonna like it there Bolt” Twilight said happily
“Yeah and the ponies there are really friendly so you shouldn’t have to worry about not having any friends there” Spike added

“It’s settled then your new home will be ponyville” Twilight

“But before we go” I started “ can we go too the tree of harmony so I can top off on harmony magic?

“Sure and after that to ponyville” Twilight said

Well I guess i’m not living with the tree of harmony after all well I hope ponyville is as nice as they say it is.

"Hey Bolt let me help with that bleeding on your face"
Wait I'm bleeding? Well crud.

POV Shift: third person at the village

Bolt, Twilight, and Spike forgot about the goo that was on the ground as they went to the tree of harmony. The goo spread through most of the village covering the buildings, the roads, everything was getting covered in the goo.
When, the goo covered a tree the tree came to life and its branches twisted and turned until they formed two claws and it picked itself out of the ground and its roots became its legs and the tree let out a roar.

Author's Note

Well now Bolt knows what a void is but what will happen to the now goo covered village?
Why did Bolt lose control of his body to an override?
Will ponyville accept Bolt when he gets there?
Lets hope so in the next chapter
