Rise Of The Black Ranger

Half an hour after the group had stormed the room, they had unbound each of the women from the walls. The female Timberwolves had mostly remained frozen in fear throughout not wanting to approach the group a few changed their minds as they saw Shade’s Alpha form beginning to rub against him. While with the Human girls all of them looked at Knila in stunned silence none of them saying a thing to the woman.

“It’s ok, he isn’t gonna hurt you anymore” Knila softly spoke to the girls

“Master. No hurt. Master care. Give back master,” one of the girls said in a broken tone, Knila able to see fresh white screaks between her legs.

Knila face went to a pained look as she shook her head, “No….he doesn’t”.

“Yes. Master does!” the girl shouted back, glaring at Knila.

“If he did, he wouldn’t have done all this, that doesn’t care it’s far from it!” Knila raised her voice, before sighing, “I just wish none of you had to experience this in the first place…” She said sadness in her tone, Jason glancing back at her for a moment with a look of concern.

“I hate that they did this to them, it makes me sick….” he muttered.

“If you think this is bad you know nothing of our ways,” the head scientist responds with a chuckle.

“Your right… we don’t.” Shade responded before a smile formed on his face, “Toy. Repeat back to everyone in this room my next order. To all of my toys in this room. You are now to serve my master, and forget that I was ever your master. You belong to him from this day forth.”

“N-N” the head scientist began to say with a shake of his head before his eyes went blank, “To all of my toys in this room. You are now to serve my master, and forget that I was ever your master. You belong to him from this day forth.”

Shade smirked before rubbing the scientist's head, “Good boy.”

“Yes master,” the scientist responded before returning to normal shaking his head.

“And now silence till I say otherwise,” Shade ordered before the scientist could react, a terrified look in his eyes as he began whimpering in fear.

The girl's demeanor changed near immediately as they looked at Shade with curiosity.

“Girls, come here,” Shade ordered, pointing just in front of him.

The girls immediately went towards him and stood in front of him.

“What am I to you all?”

“Your…master” One of them spoke towards him.

“And we are all your toys. We only exist to please and pleasure you,” another one added.

“No, it isn’t….” Knila muttered out from behind them.

Shade saw her reaction before creating a mental link between them mentally saying to her, “Knila… will you accept me taking them all as my daughters?”

“Yes,” She replied with a nod towards him.

“First of all. I am not your master,” Shade states looking at the girls, “Your purpose in life is not what you said. That is the furthest from it.”

“Then what is it?” the first asked looking towards him with a tilt of her head.

“First. I am your father. Not master. You are my daughters, not my toys or slaves or any other thing like that.” Shade responded, “and second. Your purpose is to live a happy life and decide the rest for yourselves.”

“We understand…papa” the first replied with a nod with the other girls doing the same.

Shade then knelt to the floor holding his arms open, “now… do any of you need a hug?”

The girls immediately went towards Shade and hugged him all of them had smiles on their faces while they did this.

While they did this, Knila could be seen with a soft smile as she looked towards them, she was glad that the nonsense put into their head was replaced with something more positive for them.

After a moment one of the more younger girls looked up at Shade and asked, “If you're our papa then who’s our mama?”.

“Do you not know who she is little one?” Shade asked looking at the one who had spoken, who just gave a quiet shake of her head in response. “Your mother is Knila,” Shade responded pointing behind them at her.

The girls then looked back to Knila who just gave a wave to them as the little one slowly separated from Shade and walked towards her, “Hello there” Knila softly spoke to her as the girl looked up at her in curiosity before Knila felt her jump onto her in a hug the woman immediately reciprocating and holding the girl against her, Shade seeing Knila slightly tearing up from this happening as she smiled.

After a moment Knila then glanced toward Shade and said, “Thank you”. As he simply smiled back at her.

As each of the girls began to surround Knila each going to hug her Shade looked over his shoulder towards each of the Timberwolves, all of them by his feet their heads bowed before they all said at once, “We will follow your Alpha!”

“That… was a lot easier than expected,” Shade said to himself looking at Jason.

Jason was giving a look that showed surprise and hesitance at how quick this was going, “This is going well so far…..I don’t trust it”.

“No reason it shouldn’t they can’t call out of here for any reinforcements anyway,” AS-001-SH1 pointed out before they heard the head scientist chuckle.

“Why are you laughing?” Jason said, turning toward the scientist with a brow raised.

“Tell me. How often do you think the waste product is collected to transfer to other bases around Equestria? I mean we possibly are the third biggest subject manufacturer for the cult, and the failures need to go somewhere.”

“.....What?” Jason spoke in response, “The hell are you talking about?”.

“Oh I mean with the accelerated birthing process and so many suitable women to give birth we have on average thousands of failures a day in this base alone,” the head scientist responds with a smirk, “And some of the late failures we can’t use are awfully uncontrollable with their modifications and all that. They can’t be stored here, they need to be moved on to greener pastures.”

“Excuse me?” Knila then spoke as Jason went quiet before he could be seen clenching his fist again.

“You thought every subject born here stayed here. Oh no we sell them on to other branches. We sold a ton of your to a base near canterlot just a few weeks ago, to be used for the creation of monsters and weapons development.”

In the next moment, Knila and Jason could be seen giving him a death stare with the others noticing that Jason’s hands started to show claws and his hair starting to stand on end along with a low growl, they could tell that the boy was about to do something.

But before the others could say anything Jason ran up to the scientist and kneed him in the face knocking him back into the nearby wall before he felt Jason pin him there with his arm with his other arm extended back with his claws at the ready.

“Jason don’t. He’s not worth the energy,” Shade responds shaking his head at the boy, “Besides if he’s dead we can’t find out anything.”

Jason just growled out while the scientist began choking Jason’s arm pressed hard against his neck before they saw the boy back away from him, the scientist coughing out as he fell to the floor.

“Oh look the subject can follow orders after all,” the head scientist responded with a cough

In the next moment, the scientist felt Jason’s foot slam on his leg again a loud snap ringing out the scientist screaming out in pain, “I listen because I choose to, if it were up to me I would rip your head off” Jason replied before walking away.

“Now… start talking,” Shade responded bearing down on the scientist his eyes going blank.

“The next collection is due in an hour. It’s supposed to be the largest to date, and we were to be handed the supposed newest AI from the new head of R&D. Supposedly the subject this AI was made from designed the original ranger’s equipment before he transferred her consciousness into data and repurposed her.”

Jason and Knila immediately perked up from hearing this before Jason spoke up, “Wait they turned Dr. K into an AI!?”.

“No idea who this Dr.K is, but who knows,” the head scientist responded, “Beyond that, we were to be given the newest production equipment to manufacture the completed designs and equipment for our best in the RPM line of Subjects to speed the process up of selling them on to our buyers.”

“Only she knows our gear well enough to be able to do that, she made the damn things” Jason muttered before saying, “Tell me where that AI is”.

“It's supposed to be coming with a large contingent of cult soldiers today at the time we were going to hand over the latest set of rejects… likely the former HU-RPM-B1 and the new HU-RPM-G1 would have been handed over.”

“Well, they got another thing coming then” Knila comments.

“What are you going to do? You all snuck in here and used that to get around here with no issues. How are you going to stop a full contingent of fully trained rangers, cult-trained monsters, and our Riders all at once.”

“It’s not our choice to make, even If I want to fight” Jason replied before turning toward Shade and asking, “What do you think we should do?”.

“I doubt you have much fight left in you this second Jason,” shade responded looking at the boy.

“But I don’t feel…” Jason attempted to say before groaning as he fell to his knee his hand grasping his head, his vision blurring slightly, “N-nevermind” he muttered, his arms and legs giving out as he collapsed to his side, Shade holding his arms out where he was falling catching him.

“Yeah… your in no shape,” Shade stated as he lifted Jason over his shoulder, “Knila… what do you think we should do? With Celestia and the others outside, they’ll be directly in the firing line when their force arrives.”

“I-I don’t know if we stay and fight we might lose some people in the crossfire, but if we leave and take the others with us they just might try and occupy this place again and continue with those experiments”.

“There won’t be enough time to get everyone out and pull the guards back,” Twilight said from behind them as she walked into the room, the entire group seeing the head scientist try to scramble back away from her, as Shade pulled his leash taught forcing him back to his side, a pained yelp coming from the scientist.

“Then are we just supposed to fight?” Knila questioned.

“If you want to protect the most lives… you either fight and lose some of them, or flee and leave your girls behind to be used again. There are not many other options.

“Of course, there isn’t….” Knila muttered going into deep thought not knowing what to say.

“Any Idea how many would be lost if we did fight?” Hex then asked.

“It's a toss-up between most of the solar guard and very few of them getting hurt, it solely depends on what they send to deliver this stuff and collect their delivery.”

Knila just took a deep breath before speaking, “I’ll fight then, I'm not letting them stay in this hellhole to suffer”.

“You really think you can do anything? If they have the person who created your stuff… you can bet they devised a way to get everything to work of yours.” Twilight points out.

“I don’t think I can do anything. Me getting captured before was evidence of that” Knila replied.

“Then shouldn’t you just flee? I mean if they have anything better than what we saw here coming I doubt you could do much… besides unless you can get the mindless dolls there to wake up and follow orders I doubt they’ll be any help,” Twilight added pointing to the two bound rangers.

“A mother should never abandon their children even if it’s the most logical action to take, even if I don’t know my own children well I wouldn’t care I’d protect them with my life”.

Twilight simply shook her head, “that's one thing I will never understand about you lot and maternal instincts. You’ll always do something crazy for your little ones.”

“You’d understand if you were a mother yourself” Knila replied.

“I’m still a bit too young for that myself,” Twilight responded before looking down at the Head scientist, “So you replaced my role here Onyx Specter? And you decided to turn this place from what it was into a breeding ground.”

“N-No I-” The head Scientist now known as Onyx Specter shuttered out before Twilight grabbed him in her magic.

“Don’t lie to me. You worked under me from the day I started here. I know you better than anyone working here, you perverted pest.”

“I was follo-” Onyx Specter tried to say.

“Don’t try to say you were following orders. The purpose of this place was to hold and train perspective soldiers to serve the cult. Not to kidnap creatures around Equestria, rape and breed them and keep them as your toys.”

Knila who heard this sent a death glare toward Onyx which gave the vibe as if she was looking into his soul.

“So this bastard used this place as his personal playground instead of doing what he was supposed to?” Knila then asked as the others heard the loud crack of her knuckles.

“Sadly it looks that way. Not that what we are supposed to do is much better for those who are kept here,” Twilight responded before looking at Onyx, “but… if you want to have others kept as your toys and mindless pets, I think I have the perfect test for you to participate in.”

“W-What?” Onyx responded with fear in his voice.

“I was thinking we turn you into a dog, remove those limbs attach you to robotic replacements of a dog's paws, cover you in a completely new skin and a secondary cover to hide you from the world… maybe turn your body around so your mouth replaces a very special place for a woman.”

“N-No! You wouldn’t! That is beyond demeaning and disgusting!” Onyx shouted trying to bite at his leash.

“You have no place to talk” Knila commented as she walked over and crouched in front of him, “Honestly it’s a fitting punishment for disgusting waste of space like you, especially for what you did to my sons and daughters” she then said before punching him in the face causing him to let go of the lead and fall back, the hit causing blood to be drawn as a small trickle of blood could be seen running down the side of his face.

“I suppose at worst he could be kept as a mate for Hex, or to be used by the male wolves as stress relief,” Shade suggests as Onyx just shook his head in fear.

“What’s wrong don’t want to be on the other end of what you did to others?” Knila said in a mocking tone before her face went into a stern glare as she added, “Cry about it”.

Meanwhile, Hex just stayed silent as he heard this transpire not sure of what to say about any of it.

“Hex. Would you want to keep them for you to help relieve yourself?” Shade asked looking at him.

Hex was silent as he thought about it before he heard Knila say to him “Hex I’d like you to have the honour of feeding him I feel it would be fitting” before he nodded, “Understood”.

“Well then if we are all in agreement, I hear there are four very experienced scientists nearby who excel at replacing limbs with robotic replacements. I think they could be rather useful for this.” Twilight states.

“I know of them. They are currently dealing with a special test I asked them to do.” Shade responds.

“And what was that test for?” Knila asked glancing at Shade

“They removed all Dillon’s limbs and were doing other upgrades to make his more usable for them. I had them revert what they did and do the process to him instead, along with anything else they desired.”

“Least some people who worked here have common sense” Knila replied before asking, “By the way is Dillon ok?”.

“Exhausted and confused due to Jason not being in his head anymore,” Shade calmly responds before pulling on Onyx’s leash the pony digging his feet in trying to avoid moving.
“At least he’s ok” Knila replied before seeing Shade pull Onyx back with more force.

“No! I don’t want this!” Onyx screamed trying with all his might to keep himself in place as Shade began to drag him forwards with bearly any effort.

Shade paused for a moment before saying “And AS-001-SH1, Could you please get the princesses and the others to begin to either get clear or move into the base so they can have a bit more defence to work with.”

“Odefensee Lord Shade,” AS-001-Sh1 responds before running off ahead of Shade and the others, Onyx still being dragged by Shade.

“Have fun!” he heard Knila shout as he was dragged away from the group who showed no remorse for what was about to happen to him, the unicorn’s shouts echoing down the hall.

“You know what I want to see this happen,” Knila said as she jogged out of the room with Hex not too far behind her with Adam and Flynn over his shoulders the two still bound together as Hex and Knila attempted to catch up.

As they reached the room where Dillon had been being tested they walked inside finding the four scientists sitting around the room the fifth still being bound to the table, his limbs now replaced with black robotic replacements and a white visor covering his eyes currently showing multiple swirling colours to him, drool running down his mouth.

“What’s going on with him?” Hex could be heard asking as he looked towards the face of the fifth with a brow raised with Knila doing the same.

“He is the scientist that led the test on Dillon,” Shade responded.

“And the other four are the ones I was going to suggest help with his modifications,” Twilight added getting the attention of the remaining four scientists.

The first scientist was the first to speak up as he noticed Shade, “Oh didn’t expect to see you back so soon sir, is there anything else you want us to do?”.

“How did everything go with your tests first,” Shade asked looking at them all curiously, “I’d like to see how it went before we give you a new task.”

“We did what you asked of us and had his limbs replaced along with adding the visor from before which were currently using to see how much we can modify his behavior” the first replied.

“And in what ways are you trying to modify that,” Twilight asked making herself known to the scientist.

“Head Professor?” the second replied as they looked at her in surprise before the first replied, “We were attempting to see if we could modify his perception or thought process but haven’t seen a result from it yet”.

“And in what way were you aiming to alter his perception? What was it his perception of,” Twilight responded walking past them towards the bound scientist.

“We were attempting to alter his perception of our new boss like trying to alter his attitude towards him but we haven’t made much progress yet”.

“Well this stuff is hardly any of your guy's expertise,” Twilight responded standing by a small console before typing something into it the bound scientist's body began to shake before going still, “remember to isolate the parts of a subjects mind you want to alter and any memories linked before starting the program otherwise it won’t work effectively and take a long time to complete.”

The first scientist nodded in understanding before replying, “Understood Ma’am, we’ll make sure to remember that”.

“Now we have a special task for you all, suited to your skills, you will have to follow my orders to do it as it's a very specific task for Lord Shade.”

“Alright what do you need us to do?” the second replied.

“Remove his limbs, cover his body in the latex fluid, while keeping his mouth wide open with a ring gag and attach his limbs to dog-like robotic legs. He needs to be facing backwards with a mechanicabackwardhead to control the legs where his head should be, also cover the entire thing with a fake skin looking like a Timberwolf.” Twilight responded. “Also make sure his mouth is in the position where a woman's vagina should be, making sure they are at the right height to be used by her mate”

“Consider it done ma’am” the first replied as all the scientist's sights went to Onyx.

“Maybe remove the other test first,” Twilight suggested with a cough. “You’ll need the table as the visor should handle the rest for him.

They nodded as they walked towards the bound scientist and removed him from the table as they sat him down against a wall before looking towards Onyx, the fourth and third walking towards him and grabbing him

“Get off me! I am your master! Let go of me now!” Onyx shouted thrashing against their grip.

“No resisting them Onyx,” Shade ordered as Onyx stopped fighting a blank look in his eyes as he was led towards the table.

The scientist placed him onto the table and fastened him in place so he wouldn’t move the group seeing the scientist prepare as Knila saw the third bring a gag of sorts as the first kept Onyx’s mouth open before seeing them place the gag into his mouth which kept his mouth open.

Shade then clicked his fingers releasing Onyx from his commands before they heard him try to shout something his words came out distorted leaving everyone unable to understand him.

“I would suggest that you gather the new limbs and special parts to complete the suit first before starting on his limbs.” Twilight suggested. “Make sure to decide what colour his body will be for the suit and get it made first."

They nodded towards her before dispersing from the table the group saw them walk to separate parts of the room as they individually took out specific limbs and parts before they came back and placed them on separate tables next to Onyx’s body before they could be seen talking amongst themselves.

“So what colour should we make it?” the first scientist said to the others “Would white work?” the second asked before the others shook their heads.

“No don’t want it to like the cult don’t want to insult our boss with that’ the third replied before suggesting, “What about black?”.

“No it would be too hard to see him in some instances” the second replied.

The first immediately got an idea, “Let’s go with the colour of our boss's mark for the main body and make some parts where his head will rest a more visible colour, maybe have that white to make the target clear? anyone in agreement?” he said getting nods of agreement from the other’s, “Then let’s do this”.

As the scientists began to run around preparing everything they would need Shade walked towards Onyx shaking his head at the writhing captive as he removed the collar around his neck and walked away without another word.

The others then saw the scientist begin to start making the suit for Onyx as they saw the third scientist begin to use a machine to bring out the suit while the second and first could be seen typing onto nearby consoles.

“Also we don’t want any mental changes for him. He is to be unable to talk but be aware of everything that happens to him,” Twilight added.

“Understood” the third replied before they saw him press one of the buttons on the machine as he took out the suit from its slot.

Once he did that the other scientist converged back to the table, the newly made suit being placed on a nearby one in view of Onyx who was trying to shake his head in disapproval at the sight of the suit.

“Sorry don’t understand what your saying” the first replied paying him no mind before Onyx saw him take out an electric saw of some kind, as they heard muffled screams coming from Onyx.

Shade during this time sat down on one of the seats watching the scene unfold the saw the first was holding could be heard turning on as he could see the saw inching forward towards Onyx’s leg and once the saw touched him Onyx felt the saw begin to cut into him.

The muffled scream from Onyx could be heard getting louder as the scientist cut through his leg leaving Hex to wince slightly from seeing this as this went on for a few moments before the saw cut all the way through as one of the other scientists grabbed the limb and placed it somewhere else as the first proceeded to go onto Onyx’s other leg with the third making sure that he wouldn’t bleed out.

The group continued to watch as they continued with the procedure with the saw ringing out and Onyx's muffled screams echoing out in the room.

While this happened Knila motioned for Hex to place Flynn and Adam in front of Shade the two still unresponsive as he glanced down toward them.

“Which do you want me to start with?” Shade asked looking at Knila as he placed Jason on the seat next to him the boy's head resting against his side.

“Start with Adam first” Knila replied motioning to the one to the left.

“Any idea what I should expect for him,” Shade asked moving his hand towards Adam’s head.

“Not really” She admitted.

“So take it as it comes, got ya,” Shade responded as he closed his eyes as his hand touched Adam’s head.

As Shade opened his eyes he found himself outside of a burning building with stagnant figures outside of it with some being seen dragging some away as he then noticed Adam who was slumped over against the burning building, blood covering his face to a degree with what looked like to be a copy standing over him, blood staining his fists and looking like he was about to attack him.

Right when the copy was raised his fist was about to hit Adam only for him to miss entirely and Adam grabbed him by the collar and headbutted him causing the copy to fall back while Adam slowly stood himself up, Shade seeing that his face was bruised and bloody with Adam’s eyes closed shut from the swelling

“You…ain’t getting rid of me anytime soon asshole” He spoke spitting out some blood as the copy could be seen slowly getting back up again.

“You know you wouldn’t be in this situation if you hadn’t failed your team” the copy spoke as it glanced up at Adam, “What?”.

“If it wasn’t for your weakness your friends wouldn’t be serving the cult they wouldn’t have suffered from the experiments, the torture as well all that mental anguish if it weren’t for you” the copy continued as it stood up each word that came out of its mouth starting to slowly get to Adam who just shook his head.

“N-no that’s not true!”.

“Isn’t it though if you had stayed with your team and devised a plan instead of running head first into a fight you wouldn't have been captured, you would have stood a chance but no your ego and your stubbornness wouldn’t let you”.

“Shut up!”.

“Face it Adam it would have been better if you didn’t exist at all, everything would just be better if you just disappeared because if you did, you would be doing something worthwhile”

Adam attempted to refute what his copy was saying but stopped, he couldn’t and in the next moment, he fell to his knees with tears running down his face, “Knila, Jason, Flynn….I'm so sorry” he could be heard sobbing out as the copy was standing over him with a smirk.

“After all that pushback and this is what get’s you, it’s pathetic really” The copy commented with a chuckle before he saw a shadow fall over him confusion showing on his face for a moment before he turned around, “What, who are you?”.

Shade didn’t respond to the copy as he simply stared at him, a feeling of dread falling over the copy.

“Who are you!” the copy then shouted balling his fists frustration showing as Shade didn’t respond before he attempted to hit him, only for Shade to catch the hand clenching his hand around the fist and pushing the copy down to its knees below Shade.

“Kneel,” Shade responded in a commanding tone glaring down at the copy, tightening his grip on the copy hand a loud cracking noise being heard from them.

The copy let out a painful yell as his legs buckled as he fell to his knees, “D-damn it!” he gritted out as he looked up to Shade, “Who the hell are you!?”.

Once again Shade didn’t respond to his question before punching the shoulder of the arms he was holding a loud snapping noise being heard as the arm went limp.

“Bastard!” The copy shouted out in pain as he glared up at Shade.

“Are you going to try the other arm,” Shade said in a sadistic tone.

The copy growled out before attempting to hit Shade with his other arm but the result ended up the same with the arm hanging limply at the side of his body.

“Let me tell you something. If you were better at your task the cult would not be being dismantled by me, each of your bases torn apart by me and the people you harmed saved by me,” Shade responded as he lifted the copy off the ground, to look directly at him. The copy's legs were unable to reach the ground as they dangled below him.

“Who…the hell…are you” The copy grunted out.

“What do you think I am?” Shade asked smirking at the copy, “I will humour your guess.”

“Your…that imposter aren’t you?” the copy replied.

“Are you sure I’m the imposter?” Shade responded pinning him to the wall, using his free hand to trace his symbol on the copy’s body leaving it crudely burned into his body on top of his old mark.

The copy let out muffles of pain before stuttering out, “W-what do you mean?”.

“Do you think I am the impostor or have you been inputted into him to believe that I am fake?”

“Why wouldn’t you be the imposter your our enemy” The copy replied.

“And your mine,” Shade responded walking towards the burning building holding the copy and walking inside, “So… I hope you like fire.”

“Wait, no what are you doing!?” the copy shouted before he felt Shade place him into the fire as its body slowly began to get engulfed by the flames its legs were the first to catch fire before trailing up to his chest and then his face Shade hearing the copy scream out in pain.

“Submit to me and I’ll spare you,” Shade responded coldly.

“N-never!” the copy screamed out.

“Okay then,” Shade responded before removing his legs and placing him in the fire as he walked away from him, the copy's screams filling the room as he burned.

Adam meanwhile was still on his knees as he continued to cry every few seconds wiping his eyes “I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…” He sobbed out as he saw a shadow come over him as he looked up to see Shade.

“W-who are you,”.

Shade knelt infront of Adam before saying, “Someone who really hates the cult and what they have done. Also, a friend of yours asked me to help you.”

“A-a friend, who?”.

“Knila did,” Shade asked pulling Adam closer to his chest and rubbing his neck.

“She’s ok?”. Adam asked as Shade nodded his head in response still rubbing his neck.

“What about the others?” Adam then asked.

“For Jason… it’s complicated to explain, Knila… lovestruck teenager,” Shade responds calmly.

“At least their ok, I don’t know what I’d do if something happened to those two…” Adam replied as he wiped the tears from his face, his eyes going wide the next moment as he asked, “W-what about Flynn is he ok?”.

“I don’t know of a Flynn,” Shade responded, “If I assume he’s the other ranger who attacked me earlier I would assume he’s currently knelt infront of me looking blankly forwards.”

“W-what did they do to us, I only remember being strapped to a table and then everything going black, how much time has passed?”.

“I don’t know,” Shade responded with a shake of his head, “neither Knila nor Jason know either they both were in a similar state to you.”

Adam flinched slightly from feeling Shade rub his neck but didn’t stop him as he looked down to the ground before glancing at the burning building behind them, “All I remember for who knows how long fighting that copy of me in front this forever burning version of our base one of the other things I remember was while I was getting captured, and I saw Jason fly out of the base he was pushed out and was surrounded by the enemy, of course, he fought back because he’s stubborn and I saw the anger in his eyes but I saw one of the leaders of that raid subdue Jason I saw him get electrocuted and go limp, I saw him get dropped off that cliff and after that, I got knocked out,” Adam paused before continuing his voice choked up, “I had no idea whether he was alive or not none of us did”.

“Well, he survived… and seemed to have got captured after that, escaped again then was captured another time before now… oh yeah, and got separated from his body and placed in a new cloned one.”

“W-what?” Adam replied, shock in his voice, “cloned, why was that done in the first place!?”.

“It seems something that happened created a split personality, they wanted two strong creatures they could control instead of one, and split them apart placing Jason in the new body and the other one in his old one.”

“So there’s two of him now?”.

“In a way… yes. Although one of them has no memories of his life before coming to Equestria.”

“So he’s basically a blank slate”.

“Was a blank slate… now he’s grown. Goes by the name Dillon and is part of a pack of Timberwolves.”

“So by some manner, he’s been raised by wolves?” Adam then asked.

“Yeah… also Jason has wolfs ears and a wolf tail… and both see me as their dad.”

“Suprised about that with Jason ever since his old man passed he was very hesitant about gaining new relationships with people, especially after what happened with his birth mom”.

“Don’t know anything about that, and if he doesn’t want me to know I am not gonna ask,” Shade responded looking down at Adam, “but now the question is what are you going to do? If you wish I can free you from the cult… but you will be left with a mark linking you to me from there on.”

Adam went silent before giving a nod to Shade, “If it means I'm not gonna be the cult's puppet anymore then by all means go ahead”.

“Hold on kid. If I do this, you realize you’ll be stuck following me… feel a faint compulsion to do so,” Shade warned him stopping rubbing the boy's neck and letting him look at him, “Are you sure you’ll be okay with that?”

“Yeah, I'm sure, it’s better than being part of the cult” Adam replied before adding, “besides if it means I can be with my friends again that it's worth it”.

“You can be. If you are still willing to do that after seeing them all,” Shade responds before rubbing Adam’s head, “You’ll wake up in a moment likely with your head in my lap, don’t panic okay.”

“Alright” Adam responded with a nod before Shade removed his hand closed his eyes and disappeared from Adam’s mind.

As SHade reopened his eyes he found Knila and Hex in the same places they were in before, as they then heard Adam let out a low groan as Shade saw him wake up, “Hello world…” he then muttered as they saw him open his eyes, his head falling into Shade’s lap.

“Glad to see you awake. Do you like being where you are?” Shade asked rubbing the top of Adam’s head.

“I'm not gonna say no” Adam replied, Knila noticing as she gave a smile, “Adam!”.

“Hey Knila” Adam then said giving her a smile of his own, “It’s good to see you”.

“Same here you dummy” she replied placing her hand on his shoulder.

“What’s going on, where are we right now?” Adam then asked as his eyes glanced around the room.

“You don’t need to worry about that right now” Knila replied as he then felt her move his onto her lap, Shade using this moment to see how far along the scientists were with the test.

As he looked at the test he could see that Onyx was now missing all of his limbs with his arms having been replaced by the new prosthetics, the ones on his legs in the process of being attached to him.

“Alright just a little more” the first commented as he and the second pushed the two prosthetics onto his legs and once they did he saw the two prosthetics tighten around his legs with a low hiss, with the two scientists twisting a bolt on both the prosthetics so they stayed in place, “There we go” the second spoke before wiping his forehead.

The scientists then grabbed the latex suit that was on the table next to the one Onyx was on and they began to place it over him as they heard his muffled shouting but ignored it, Adam glancing over slightly before asking, “What are they doing?”.

“Preparing a long punishment for the head scientist who controlled this place,” Shade responds moving the other unconscious ranger into his lap. “If you want to know ask Knila.”

Adam just glanced at Knila who said, “Let’s just say the head of this place had done a lot of terrible things and is paying for all of it”.

“G-got it” Adam replied with a nod before glancing back to Shade, “Your gonna help Flynn like you helped me?”.

“I’m going to try,” Shade responded rubbing the other man's head not getting any reaction.

Adam looked at Flynn in silence and stayed unresponsive as Shade then placed his hand on Flynn's head and closed his eyes.

As Shade reopened his eyes he found himself to be back in the room he had found Ziggy in, the same tube lining the room each of them having a figure inside them just like when he had been there, but this time the room itself looked to be a lot longer than before.

Shade then walked to the nearest of the pods finding a figure looking exactly like Flynn floating inside the pod, however unlike the previous tubes that had a subject number this one had the word ‘test 125’ on it.

“It wasn’t like this before,” Shade muttered to himself looking at the next pod and finding an identical figure inside, this one with the words Test 126 on it.

Shade continued walking down the row of tubes the number increasing with each tube and each figure's body only having slight changes, to their body.

Once he reached the end of the hall he found what looked to be Flynn in the last pod with someone in front of it wearing a lab coat, looking ahead for a moment he couldn’t see anything else no more pods only a dark void before he turned his attention back to the pod and figure who turned to reveal it was another copy.

The copy looked to its clipboard for a moment before looking to the pod and tapping it with his pencil, “You know putting you through these tests is really fascinating you know, seeing the reactions and results are quite helpful” the copy said a sadistic smirk.

After a moment the copy looked towards his watch as he said, ‘Oh I believe it’s about time to harvest the next batch”.

“What does he mean by next batch?” Shade thought to himself walking towards the figure who continued to speak, “You can not imagine the number of subjects you’ve helped us create with each batch, you are an invaluable asset just like that friend of yours, maybe you’ll get better treatment after this and only used for the breeding program,”.

The figure only chuckled to himself after that, “Don’t get your hopes up though, I wouldn’t” he then said.

“Wouldn’t get your hopes up for what exactly,” Shade responded now standing behind the copy, as he looked into the tube to find another copy of Flynn inside acting just like he had been when Shade had seen him in a tube previously.

The copy flinched as he looked behind him and saw Shade, “What, who the hell are you, how’d you get in here!?”

“I walked down the hall,” Shade responded calmly placing a hand on the copy's shoulder, “can I ask what you are doing?”

“Just working on the subject about to do an extraction from him” the copy replied with apprehension in his voice.

“And how often have you done this,” Shade asked the copy not noticing as sparks entered his body and his legs began to turn from white to black.

“A-a total of three hundred and fifty-five times” The copy stuttered out.

“And who is this extracted sample going to be used on,” Shade asked the copy's legs now having turned completely black. “I mean you must have someone in mind for it to be used with?”

“I-it’s not up to me after the samples are extracted they either get taken to one of the other female subjects or in some rarer cases with his friend” The copy replied.

“I see,” Shade responded before a smile appeared on his face, before he said in a calm and commanding tone, “Kneel,” as he pointed to the floor.

The copy immediately kneeled in front of Shade, his eyes widening in shock as he looked up at Shade.

“I assume you’ve worked out who I am by now correct,” Shade stated with a smirk, as he looked down at the copy by his feet.

“Y-yes” the copy stuttered out.

“Who am I,” Shade responded smiling at the copy as its body had turned black up to his neck.

“Y-your the other Shade” the copy replied.

“By other Shade which do you mean? Real or fake?”

“I…don’t know”.

“I see,” Shade responded before sayings, “Stand.”

The copy did what he was told and looked towards Shade in silence.

“Good. Now I want you to turn around and release Flynn from his tube,” Shade ordered.

The copy did what he was told and turned around towards Flynn’s tube his hand reaching out towards the console but his hand could be seen shaking the copy trying to stop it from moving the copy’s face gritting out in a struggle but failing as his hand went onto the console before pressing one of the buttons which slowly opened Flynn’s tube.

The next moment the fluid that was in the tube spilt out and Flynn fell out of it about to hit the floor, only to be caught at the last second as Shade caught him in his magic, before slowly pulling him towards his arms. “There you go Flynn your safe now.”

Shade heard him take breaths in and out seemingly too weak at that moment to do anything else.

“What are you going to do?” he heard the copy asked fearfully.

“Me nothing… but you're going to walk into the tube, and let it seal you inside” Shade responds.

“W-what?” the copy stuttered out before he felt his body move on its own and start to go inside the tube Flynn was in previously, he tried to stop himself but he couldn’t do much of anything as he stood inside the tube as it slowly closed in front of him and then sealed him inside, Shade hearing muffled shouted from the copy until fluid began to fill up the inside of it.

“Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll start to enjoy it once the extractions start,” Shade adds as the copy’s cloak burned to ash infront of him, “in fact… let's get started now.” Shade added before changing the commands on the console infront of him changing it from 'extract on command’ to ‘Extract constantly’ as he looked at the copy with a smirk.

“No!” the copy shouted before Shade saw the command go through as the process started for the copy once the fluid completely filled the tube. “N-no not like this, not like this!” the copy thought as he felt the machine go to work with extraction as Shade heard his thoughts and began to go almost completely unintelligible from him experiencing the extraction.

Meanwhile, as this happened, Flynn slowly opened his eyes, his vision blurry for a moment before it came into focus as he weakly spoke, “W-what going on?” his voice low and quiet.

“Don’t worry. I’m just letting your jailor get a feeling of what they put you through,” Shade responds rubbing Flynn’s neck.

“Who are you?” he weakly asked.

“A close friend of Knila and Jason,” Shade calmly says his eyes looking at the copy whose hand had moved down starting the fiercely rub himself as a large clear was attached to his groin seaming to seal tightly around his cock.

“Jason and Knila…..they’re ok?” Flynn asked as Shade nodded back to him,

“Oh…that's good” Flynn quietly replied as Shade saw him slowly attempt to stand himself up, “You know the screwed up thing about it is that part of me was still conscious in there I could hear his voice

“Can you remember seeing me outside your mind earlier… putting on that show like he is?” Shade asked pointing at the copy.

“I…remember seeing someone but my vision was blurry but yeah I remember that” Flynn responded, “I-im sorry you had to see that” Flynn then said as he shook his head, “I swear those sick bastards just had me do that for shit’s and giggles”.

“You mean like I have for him?” Shade points out as he gestured to the copy in the tube as he used his wing to support Flynn’s weight.

Flynn let out a low chuckle, “Yeah exactly like that” he replied as he then said toward the copy raising his voice slightly, “Not so fun to be on the other side of it huh?” before he let out a loud cough, “Damn my voice is still weak…”

“Do you want to speak into his mind to torment him?” Shade asks with a smile, “and let you hear his mind break from the experience. I may have set it to never let him rest.”

“Nah, I'm just satisfied to him get a state of his own medicine,” Flynn replied before asking, “Is there a way out of here?”.

“Well this is your mind… so imagine what you want to see here and I guess it will appear. Just keep his tube in it, we don’t want to let him rest.”

Flynn thought about it for a moment before slowly bringing his hand up as an opening then shown next to the two with the other tubes disappearing leaving the one with the copy as the only one.

“Does that work?” Flynn then asked.

“I would have thought you would have another location in mind for yourself.”

“Give it a second” Flynn replied before the area lit up showing a hallway with multiple names at each door Shade sees Jason, Knila, and Adam’s names on them with the room the two are next to having the pod inside and Flynn’s name on the door.

“Been a while, since I've seen this place” Flynn commented, “Home, a lot of good memories here and equally as bad ones too” he then said as Shade’s wings helped him stand up, “Wonder how it looks after everything happened..” Flynn muttered to himself as Shade began to walk him through the opening.

The two then disappeared through the opening as the machine continued the extraction on the copy, the door they left through sealing shut.

As soon as they had left the room Shade opened his eyes finding himself back in the lab, Flynn’s head still in his lap while everyone was watching what was happening ahead of them.

“You know seeing this happen is kinda fascinating to some degree” Adam commented as he saw.

“I'm somewhat inclined to agree with you on that” Knila replied as she saw the scientist begin to place the suit over Onyx “who’s body was covered by a thick black latex suit leaving his head visible and his penis seeming to be forced outwards jutting forwards into the air.

“Now. You need to let him stand up to do this correctly. He needs to be able to support his own weight before we add the second skin,” Twilight calmly stated smirking at Onyx who was just shaking his head at her.

“Understood Ma’am” the first scientist replied as he and the other scientist had Onyx stand up on his new limbs a few moments later the other’s heard muffled noises coming from Onyx to some they ignored and to others just looked in amusement.

“Alright seem’s like there’s no issue here, he’s able to keep his own weight” the second scientist commented with the first nodding, “Seem’s good enough to add the second skin”.

“Don’t rush that yet,” Twilight responded, “it still needs its robotic head adding, it won’t look or function right without it,” Twilight added walking towards Onyx’s rear with a large robotic head in the shape of a wolf as she placed it above his rear as a loud hiss was heard and a tube forced itself inside Onyx to hold the head in place as the latex shifted to cover the head, a low moan coming from Onyx in response.

“Did that just?” Adam was about to ask before Knila immediately replied, “Yes, yes it did”.

The first scientist checked to see if it was gonna stay in place by pressing his hand against it slightly prompting another moan, but once it was confirmed it wasn’t moving, he nodded to the other scientist to start to add the second skin.

The group just watched this happen for a few moments as they saw them place the second skin over Onyx and made sure it actually fit and after a second or two afterwards they had finished fitting it onto him.

“Any issues with the fitting?” the first asked as he and the others examined Onyx's body with the others shaking their heads in response, “None that I could see” the third replied.

“Now then. Onyx take two steps forwards,” Twilight ordered as they saw the eyes on the robotic head light up with a green light as it tilted its head to the side before taking two steps forwards as ordered.

“Any issues on the systems?” Twilight asked looking at the scientists.

“Nope, everything here is stable from what I can see” The second replied.

“So how does this work exactly?” Adam then asked with a brow raised.

“Lets me put it this way. He turned this place into a forced breeding ground and turned every child from it into either another test subject or used to breed more children,” Shade explained, “Now think where his mouth is and what it is taking the place of if he was a woman.”

“.......Oh” Adam then said with a realization showing on his face.

“Yep” Knila commented with a blank look on her face.

“Alright then, how long until this is done or is it already done?” Adam then asked.

“It’s done. We just need a willing mate to do the final test on it,” Twilight responds looking up at them.

Knila just glanced at Hex as he saw her nod towards him before he nodded back, “I’ll do it” he then walked up towards the table, before asking Twilight, “What do you need me to do?” as he glanced towards Onyx.

“Do you really need me to tell you,” Twilight responded with a smirk, “Onyx. Present.” She ordered before Onyx’s head dropped to the floor raising its rear and spreading its legs and raising its tail, “enjoy yourself.”

“If you say so…” Hex replied as he went closer and placed his hands on its rear, Adam somewhat realizing what was about to happen to turn his head to look away as Hex could be seen dropping down onto all fours his body draping over Onyx’s back as his dick began to rub against the space where Onyx’s mouth was now placed as what would have looked to be Onyx’s hips of the began to shake as Hex’s groin moved slowly into the new hole.

Over time Hex’s dick slowly went deeper into the hole until his crotch began to press against it a low noise could be heard from Onyx as Hex slowly began to pull out of it before giving a thrust back inside, as he heard the robotic head began to howl a replica of a tongue hanging out.

“We may need to sort the wolf out its own voice instead of just howling,” Twilight stated, “Think of you can start sorting that?”

“Yep, it’s a fairly easy fix, one moment” the fourth scientist replied as he went to the wolves head as he could be seen opening a slot and tweaking the inside of it before closing it and backing away, “Let’s see how it works now” he then said as Hex thrust into the hole again, this time a moan coming from the robotic head, the voice, however, sounding robotic and unnatural still sounding more masculine than feminine.

“Close but not feminine enough, let me try again” the fourth commented as he opened the slot again and began to fiddle around with some wires and two dials once he was done with those he closed the slot again and waited to see how it sounded now, immediately hearing a more feminine voice from the robotic head once Hex thrust inside again.

“How does she sound and feel?” Twilight asked, “Is she to your liking?”

Hex who stopped for a moment gave a quiet nod in response, “Y-yes she is, she feels great” he then by instinct thrust inside again prompting another moan, “She sounds great as well”.

“Make sure to keep putting pressure on the head. It should help stimulate her,” Twilight responds pushing Onyx’s head inwards a low squeal being heard under a loud moan. “Get her worked up enough and it’ll feel much better.”

Doing what she said Hex brought his arm forward and placed it on Onyx’s head, two moans coming from Onyx as she began to grind her hips against Hex, as he heard the feminine voice moan out, “F-f-faster... H-harder.”

His instinct taking over to a degree Hex complied and began to get rougher with Onyx as well picking up speed over time and while this happened Hex made sure to put pressure on the wolf's head before he saw both clear and white liquid run down the inside of her legs.

Taking this as a reason to go harder Hex began to thrust into Onyx with much more force loud slapping ringing out in the room from his thrusts with him hearing the wolf moaning out.

As this continued Hex could be seen gritting his teeth and once a few more seconds had passed he thrust into her one more time and keeping his crotch pressed against the hole he began to drool slightly as a satisfied smile showed on his face and after a moment passed he slowly pulled out of her before Onyx’s tail dropped down, as low sobs and gaging noises were heard from before soon after a loud gulp.

“Any excess leaking from the seal?” Twilight asked.

The first went to check as he shook his head in response, “None from what I see Ma’am”.

“Everything seems to be in working order now” the second commented.

“That good. Hex, how is everything for you?” Twilight asked looking at him.

“I'm fine, definitely relieve some stress from doing that” Hex replied.

“Well, I’m pretty sure she’s all yours now to do with as you please.” Twilight responded, “So I guess you can take her where you like to either release more stress or use it for other purposes.”

“Understood” Hex replied with a nod.

Adam then turned his head back to see before asking Knila, “Is it over?”.

“Yep,” Knila blankly replied as she saw Hex come back toward them with Onyx not too far behind him.

“Satisfied for now Hex?” Knila asked getting a nod from him, “Yes my goddess”.

“Why did he-” Adam attempted to ask before Knila answered, “I’ll explain later”.

“She has a lot to catch you up on,” Shade adds, one arm wrapped around Jason while the other rubbed Flynn’s head.

Adam just grunted in reply before asking, “How’s Flynn doing?”.

“Mostly okay. Where you had your mind being battered into submission, he was left in a conscious and aware state of what was happening when he was in his tube.” Shade responds looking down at Flynn.

“Have any idea why he hasn’t woken up yet?” Adam then asked glancing toward Flynn

“Considering he could barely stand up in his mind, I would assume exhaustion,” Shade responds.

“Honestly he deserves some rest after that having to experience that on a constant basis” Knila commented as she slowly rubbed the top of Adam’s head, who just glanced up at her in surprise with Knila just giving a motherly smile towards him.

After a moment passed Knila then looked to Shade and asked, “So what do we do now that the procedure done to Onyx is done?”.

“Well you get ready to protect everyone in case something goes wrong I doubt we have long left until the cult arrives.”

“Alright” Knila replied with a nod as she stood up and gently sat Adam up in the chair she was in, “I’ll go prepare now then, as you said we probably don’t have too long until the cult arrives” She then said.

As she said this the group heard a low noise coming from Jason as they looked to see him opening his eyes, the boy blinking a few times to focus his vision, “What…happened?.

“The adrenaline ran out and you collapsed,” Shade responds as he rubbed Jason’s ears.4

“How long was I out?”.

“I'd say an accurate estimate would be thirty-five minutes” Knila replied before Jason noticed the state Onyx was in now, “....The hell is that?” he then muttered as Knila and Hex walked out of the room.

“Wait Knila where are you going?” Jason then said noticing them walk out as she quickly replied, “Don’t worry Jason we’ll see each other soon just need to prepare for when the cult arrives” she then walked out of the room and out of sight.

“I think she’s just going to check on the kids,” Shade responded patting Jason on the shoulder.

“Oh alright,” Jason replied with a nod before he looked to the table where the scientists were standing, as they flinched from seeing him look towards them.

In response, Jason just scoffed as he slowly stood up and went toward one of the drawers and began to dig around inside of it Shade looked towards the boy with a brow raised.

“What are you looking for?”

“One moment…” Jason replied before pulling out what looked like a white shirt and shorts, “Here we go, I remember being in rooms like this the first time I was captured and they almost always had clothes like these so we wouldn’t be in outfits that dried blood on them” Jason then added as Shade saw him put the clothes on.

“They look a bit plain,” Shade responds looking at Flynn and Adam.

“They may be plain, but it will work for now” Jason replied as he then tossed another pair of clothes towards Adam who said, “Thanks Jason” Adam replied getting a nod from Jason, “No problem Adam”.

“Also question what’s with the ears?” Adam then asked as he pointed toward Jason’s wolf ears.

“My body is a clone my original is currently occupied by Dillon who was adopted by a timberwolf and turned into a hybrid of sorts and since they made a copy of his body and put me in it, I'm also a hybrid”.

“Alright, then I have another question what happened to you?”.

Jason looked back at him with a brow raised, “Care to clarify what you mean?”.

“After what happened to your old man, why are you so… you know” Adam replied motioning towards Shade.

Jason was silent after hearing this before shrugging toward him, “I…don’t know a part of me just trusts him I don’t how to explain it…”.

“If you’re not ready to talk about it, I won’t pry” Adam then said.

“...Thanks” Jason quietly replied as Adam gave a nod of his own.

“Off that topic, now what was that thing next to the ranger that Knila was with?” Jason then asked as he looked towards Shade.

“Now or formally?” Shade asks with a smirk.

“Preferably both but let’s go with formally”.

“The head scientist,” Twilight responds walking towards them, “He was the one in command of this place, and we decided to make his punishment to be forced to live in the most humiliating, demeaning and disgusting way possible.”

“Well that’s definitely a quick change but completely deserved” Jason replied what she had said completely flying over his head for a moment before she realized what she had meant, “Oh, ew…..”.

“Be glad you weren’t awake to see or hear it..” Adam replied in a mutter as the group continued to talk amongst themselves.

Knila was walking down the hallway that she and Hex walked through previously to head back to the room she was in before while she was walking back she noticed Jason’s handiwork from before as she thought to himself, “The fact Jason was able to do this while running solely on adrenaline is amazing as well as terrifying…”.

Her walk continued for what seemed like three minutes before she came up to the room where her girls and the displacer were in as she walked inside only to find him the scientist the girls along with half of the tubes were gone, “Where did they go?” she heard Hex ask.

She looked in the room in silence before she replied “I kept my side of the deal so he took them along with half of the others”.

She then saw what looked to be a note on a nearby table which looked to have a small object on top of it.

Knila walked over to the table as she picked up the note first and began to read it, “Miss Williams. As per our agreement I have taken half of the children into my care and away from any danger. I also took Spark with me after he agreed to an offer, giving me his mind, body and soul to do as I please. On this note is a small memory card that holds everything he knows about the cult and its current situation. If you ever need me again or wish to see the kids I took, you only need to ask. However, please remember the same rules as before applying for my assistance. I wish you luck in your future endeavours.”

Knila smiled in response, “Thank you” she quietly said before picking up the memory card nodding to herself, and placing it in her pocket.

“What’s on that thing?” she then heard Hex ask as she replied, “Some info that was provided by my displacer”.

“Understood, should we head back now or do you still have some business to take care of?”.

“No, just wanted to check if they were ok, and given what was written on this note im content now, let’s head back Hex” Knila replied as Hex nodded towards her as he began to follow her out of the room with Knila placing the note in her cloak.

Once they were out of the room they began to walk back to where the others were as Knila thought to herself, “Let’s hope this info is helpful enough”.
