Chapter 9: A Body Gone Wrong

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After leaving the hospital, some passing Ponies asked them why they were covering the bodies. Upon informing them of their new anatomy, those ponies did the same and went straight home. When the girls reached their homes, they went to their bedrooms to look for some clothes to cover them. But each one found, on their beds where new clothes, already picked out and neatly folded. After getting dressed, they each headed back towards the hospital. Along the way they took notice that ponies were fully clothed. And still red faced from embarrassment.

The first one to arrive was Twilight, wearing a lavender sweater vest, and blue skinny jeans. Along with a transformed spike, wearing a purple and green T-shirt, and purple shorts. They both sat in the seats placed near Tavo's door. Then came bouncing in Pinkie Pie, wearing a light Pink shirt, Hot Pink shorts, and striped pink knee-high socks. Pinkie ran up and hugged Twilight and spike. After a while, Applejack and Rarity walked in. AJ wore her hat, an orange western shirt, a brown leather vest, and blue jeans, while Rarity wore a white dress, and pearl necklace. They apologized for being late, Rarity was inspired by the design and clothing that she had to draw out new designs for their new bodies.

As they sat idly by the door, Pinkie took a peek through the window of Tavo's door. Even though it didn't reveal much due to the curtain, she did see a large figure standing. After a few minutes, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy flew in. Rainbow dash wore a cyan crop top, and blue and white running shorts while Flutttershy wore a yellow turtleneck sweater and a yellow skirt. Now that all seven of them have arrived, they waited outside the door of Tavo's room. After ten minutes had passed, a doctor walked by, asked if they are with Tavo to which they nodded. Opening the door, he walked in and closed the door behind him, but curiosity took them over and they laid their ears against the door. The door, though was thick and it gave muffled sounds. They did however catch some words like "heart rate" and "blood" and "metal" and "wheelchair" but that was it. Suddenly the conversation ended and the sudden footsteps made the group jump back to their seats. When the door opened, he turned towards Tavo "Alright now if you could follow me, we can conduct X-rays in a specialized room." He said. Then out came Tavo Wearing denim pants with a ripped hole in the left leg and the short gown. And just like before, he towered over them. He also let out a sigh of relief when they finally had clothes on. He nodded and followed the doctor, and then the group stood up from their seats and followed him as well.

As they walked through the halls passing various transformed Ponies who looked sicker than before, he noticed that the ponies walking on two feet, stare at him in an unwelcoming demeanor. As they continued, they came to a room at the end of the hall way. The doctor opened the door and motioned Tavo to walk in. as soon as he did the door closed behind him, revealing a dark room with a cylindrical machine with two beeping lights, one green, one red. there was also a window. The machine looked like a pre-U.S.F. model that were used back before the revolution. As he observed the machine, the room opposite of the window was lit up and inside was the doc and the rest of the group, the doctor then pushed a button and a speaker suddenly broadcasted "Alright now we are going to conduct an examination of your skeleton and internal organs, so I need you to move closer to the machine, please." He said through the intercom.

As commanded, he walked over to the machine "Good. Now stand still, this won't hurt a bit." As he spoke, the machine opened up. The machines halves then extended forward, then they suddenly snapped shut with him in it and formed a tube around him. The tube then sealed the together while a small door shielded over him and enclosed his whole body inside.

In the opposite side of the window, they stood and watched the machine as it flashed two bright green lights. As they waited for results, Twilight was curious as to why they needed x-rays of his body, so she walked up to the doctor who was observing panels and Computer screens and tapped his shoulder "Something wrong?" he asked "yes, what is all this for?" asked Twilight. The doctor then grinned "I'm glad you asked." He said. He stood up then cleared his throat before speaking "Ever since the conversion of almost every single species in the Equidae Family we've been taking X-rays and other forms of examination to figure out what we became. The results shown are rather interesting." he said  "And according to the guards this one in particular will help connect the pieces, and with the information they've given us, we may be able to figure out this whole Predicament."

Before he could continue speaking, a green light went off which made the Doctor grin. He hopped back into the chair, pressed a few buttons, pulled a knob, and then pulled out a giant screen. He then turned back to the Group "Alright lets take a look, shall we?" He said then the screen flickered on revealing an image of Tavo's body. However they did not expect what they saw on that screen.

They stared in complete and utter horror at what they believed was his bodies. His body was composed of some kind of strange metal, and he had internal deformities all over his body. Starting from the head, His eye structure darkened the screen it self with an almost burnt image. Behind a normal set of teeth were rows of serrated dagger-like metal teeth arching upwards forming into a smile like the one he had when he fought the Princess and looked almost crushed closely together. His skull also had small dents in various parts. Moving down ward into his torso, it seemed at first like a few organs were hidden behind metal bones but after further inspection, they realized that those organs were either missing, or destroyed and replaced with what seemed like machines. Because of his large bone structure, it was hard to identify certain abnormalities on his bones that were revealed to be cracks in the bones themselves that were patched up with steel plates.  Half of a lung was machine, his stomach was ripped, and his kidneys replaced with some kind of machine. The only thing that wasn't a machine was his heart, but even that was abnormal. Instead of being a normal red beating heart, it was a black orb pumped with blood, which upon further examination was actually Obsidian. Moving downward towards the legs, they seemed almost destroyed and should be classified as dysfunctional. This explained all sorts of problems and abnormalities he has but it doesn't explain how he's still alive. The doctor stared at this horror struck "This isn't the bodies that we've been studying. This is an abomination!" he yelled out.

Suddenly they heard knocking from the machine, than a voice "Hey, can I come out now?" they turned to the doctor who shivered nervously. With a shaky hand he pressed a button "S-s-sure." He said into the microphone. He then extended a nervous hand and was inches away from pressing it. He faced the horror stricken-except for Pinkie Pie-group then pressed a button. The tube unlocked and the group expected some form of vile deformed creature to be where Tavo once stood. But as it slowly pulled away, it instead revealed a straight faced and tall normal being. He took another look at the tube then walked over to the door, opened it, and left the dark lit room. Ten seconds later, the door knob twisted and opened.

Tavo was met with confusion when he entered the room. They all stared at him in horror, except for Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. He looked around the room and noticed the screen. On it was an X-ray of his body but less detailed then what he normally looks at. The doctor nervously walked up to him "Is t-this what normal humans look like?" he asked. Tavo turned to him "Naw, a normal human being looks way better than this. This is what an above average prototype Psycho looks like."

Note: so sorry for being so late.
