The World Of Cyber Species.by Neutral BoyChaptersPrologue: Journey begins.Chapter 1: Not a warm welcome.Chapter 2: Rest in a cottage.Chapter 3: The meetings.Chapter 4: Tensions in Equestria.Prologue: Journey begins.Cyber World, an unusual future world filled with mystery, excitement, weaponry, chemicals, science, beautiful cities, discovering unknown creatures, you name it. Although, not every Cyber World is exactly peaceful as you may think. There have been some dark stories of Apocalypse, Armageddon, outbreaks, countless wars, and so on in the different Cyber Worlds. On the planet known as Cyber Equis, there has been signs of ominous warnings throughout multiple villages, towns, and kingdoms. Yet neither citizens nor their rulers never even notice as they were too busy on having their own problems to deal with. This, is where the story begins. When one living flesh called a human perhaps can change the fate of every advanced citizen, town, kingdom, and Cyber Equis. {Cyber Equis, year 10,000, 9:00 p.m.} {Somewhere in Cyber Equestria. . .} Up above the skies at night, several figures are searching on a scout mission. Their appearance are anthropomorphic ponies mixed with cyber parts on them and equipped with some unusual weapons. Another figure appears and came back to join. Her name is Captain Spitfire, leader of the Wonderbolts Academy. She taps to her side head and begin to speak with the cadets via intercoms. "Keep an eye out every pony, our enemies should be nearby. Keep your guard up at all times." "Yes sir." "Roger." "Understood Captain." A few days ago, Spitfire read reports of missing ponies in both Canterlot and Cloudsdale with no evidence left behind or why they are being targeted of going missing. So she began to gather up her best cadets and proceed to grab their gears before heading out. Now they're at night searching for any possible signs of an enemy. "Wait, what's that up above?" One of her cadets said. Lost in her thought, Spitfire shook her head and sees her cadet pointing up above. Looking to where she pointed, she spots something shiny in the atmosphere. Then the shiny star grew brighter and brighter as it suddenly heads toward them. "Evasive maneuver!" Spitfire yelled out to her cadets. They dodged out of the way in time as the object comes down and heads toward the land. "Any units injured?" "No sir, we're all good." "Where's our unknown target heading Wind Breaker?" "I believe it's heading toward near Cloudsdale, Captain." While all of the cadets were busy watching the object float away to the land, a figure is in the clouds watching them from behind. It grabs a hold of a sniper type rifle and proceeds to spot a target. Once the target is found, it fires the rifle and hits one of the cadets. "FLEETFOOT!" Spitfire shouted to her. She angrily turn around and uses one of her rifle to shoot the figure hiding in the clouds. Unfortunately for her, she missed as it dodges and appears from it's hiding spot. "I got her Captain! She's alright, but her left engine is damaged." Spitfire sighs in relief before she and her cadets glare at the figure. The figure appears as a pony and shouts out loud. "DEATH TO THE RULERS AND THEIR PRECIOUS KINGDOMS!!! SHOW NO MERCY!!!" Four more figure of ponies suddenly appear and flies down to their targets. Spitfire and her cadets proceed to maneuver away as a dogfight begins in the sky. "Breaker, take Fleet back to camp. Every pony else, take out the enemies." "B-But Cap-" "I WON'T ASK AGAIN! WE'LL KEEP THE ENEMY BUSY UNTIL WE RETREAT! NOW GO!!!" ". . . understood Captain Spitfire." Wind Breaker holds onto Fleetfoot tight and retreats away to the Academy. While the two retreat, Spitfire and her group are battling with the five unknown ponies. Multiple laser fire began to go off as one of the unknown ponies got hit in the chest by a laser and is going down away from the sky. Two Wonderbolts cadets also got hit from a few lasers, but are still keep going in the fight. As the two groups are fighting each other, Spitfire and the figure pony are fighting. The figure used it's rifle and fires at her head, but she ducks from it and shoots her own rifle at the figure. Both begin to fire and mostly miss, but hit a few at each other. Spitfire's wing engine got damaged while the figure's both wings are also damaged as well. When they were fighting, Spitfire recognizes a symbol of a Shadowbolt member as the two suddenly stop and stare at each other. "Give it up Shadowbolt, you're outnumbered." "I don't think so." Three cadets regroup to Spitfire while the Shadowbolt growls before smirking at them. "You may have bested my units, but let's see if you can handle my best trained hunters." As the pony says this, he snaps his fingers and twenty more members joins up with him. "Your move Wonder rejects. Surrender or be destroyed along with your weak cadets." All of the Shadowbolt members took out their weapons and aim at each of the Wonderbolts. "Aw buck me." Spitfire murmured before she used her com link to her units. "WONDERBOLTS RETREAT!" As she said it, they use all of their wing engine power to back away and speed off. "AFTER THEM!" The Shadowbolt leader shouted to them. Now the chase has commence. The Wonderbolts are dodging from a bunch of laser fire shooting at them while they try to shoot back. However, a few of the lasers manage to hit their mark on Spitfire and both of her wing engines. "AUGH!" "Captain!" With both of her wings malfunction and damaged from enemy fire, Spitfire began to lose altitude and brace for impact with a loud thud. Her teammates tries to get to her, but couldn't since they're being still shot at from laser fire. Upon landing hard on the ground, Spitfire looked up and speak in con again. "Don't worry about me! I'll catch up while you flee from the enemy." She then turn off her communicator and retreats into a building not too far away while her cadets continue to fly away in retreat from the Shadowbolts. "I'd better look for the object first. Then catch up to my unit." Looking to see if any pursuers, there was none as she sighs and grabs some tool gear. "Right now, I need to hide in order heal up and get my wings repaired. The Shadowbolts might be looking for me soon. Hopefully we can figure out what in Tartarus is going on here." {Meanwhile, near Cyber Cloudsdale. . .} Around the same time of a dogfight in the sky, the shiny object has begun to slow down and touches to the ground. A moment later, the object slowly changes shape into a bipedal figure male human with full clothing before it's eventually complete and lays on the ground. The male human slowly opens up his blue eyes and sees that it's night outside. He yawns out loud and stretches his arms before he stops yawning and scratch his black hair. He gets up from the ground and stands tall to look that something is off. "W-Where am I, how did I get here?" The human murmured. Shaking his head in confusion, the male human looks around to notice he's in a strange forest. "I don't even remember being in a forest." Looking back at the ground by his side, he see his backpack laying there with food and drinks. "Maybe there might be someone around here that can help me out." So he took some of his belongings with him and proceeds to find a way of getting out of the forest. Unbeknownst to him, a small shiny object appears behind him before it floats into his backpack and disappears. {Cyber Ponyville, 3 hours earlier. . .} A librarian purple unicorn is going over on her notes and letters to write for the Princesses. "Okay uh, Mayor Mare is really busy, but I'm sure Princess Celestia and Luna can perhaps help me out." She paces back and forth on what to tell them. During the time, her dragon assistant came into her room and places the meal by her desk. "Twilight?" The unicorn got interrupted from her thinking and turns toward him. "Spike, can't you see that I'm busy here t write for the Princesses?" She huffs. Her assistant rolls his eyes, shaking his head. "You do realize they are having a meeting today, right Twilight? I mean it's clearly not healthy if you keep on being more anxious and hyperventilating through all the troubles every day." "But Spike, you don't understand. It's not the reason why I-" "Look, I get that you seem a little worried about some missing reports, including a couple of our friends back in Canterlot. Don't worry, as soon as the Princesses are done, we'll go send the letter. In the meantime, why don't you just relax and take some time off? I'm sure there's no harm of spending time with your trusty number one assistant." Twilight did thought about it before clearing her head. Inhaling and exhaling slowly, she smiles and pats her assistant's head. "Your right Spike, I shouldn't be overthinking things sometimes." "Exactly, so when was the last time you saw them?" "Oh I dunno, maybe around the time when I visited my BBBFF." "Uh huh, speaking of mares." Spike pulls out a design letter of his drawing. "Which outfit do I try on so I can impress Rarity? The classic suit or the deluxe bad boy?" Seeing his design, Twilight snorted in giggles and laughing. "Oh Spike, you don't need to do that. You're way too young to date her." Instantly frowning, Spike crumbles up the letter and takes away her meal. "Second thought, I regret on talking to you about this topic of romance since you'd rather study than going out with any stallions like a normal mare. If you need me, I'll be eating up your meal for my lonesome sorrow." When he walks away, Twilight realizes her mistakes and stops her laughing. "Oh ponyfeathers, I didn't know it was so stupid of me when I should've made a better positive response to him. Wait a second Spike, I didn't mean on what I had said! Also, it's really hard for me to step away from my studies and try to find any dates of interesting stallions! Not mares since I'm clearly straight!" {Elsewhere, in an unknown location. . .} "The hourglass has shifted it's time. The wheels have begin to turn unexpectedly, once again. The event is coming soon than I never expected. Bring me my loyal guards, immediately." "As you wish. . ." *door opens and closes* ". . . . . . . What are you planning?" Author's Note Hey everyone, guess what today is? My birthday! HAHAH! Gonna need to make plans. Anyway, I came up with this idea from watching a few anime series since there hasn't been any stories of Cyber anthro ponies, except maybe a couple or a few, I don't know. So yeah, I thought it would be good of creating this one. Hopefully this might good for all of you or not, let me know, and see ya later! Chapter 1: Not a warm welcome.{Cyber Equis, year 10,000, 9:30 p.m.} {Cyber Wonderbolts Academy. . .} After narrowly escaping their pursuers, the Wonderbolt cadets were able to make it safe to the academy with no casualty killed. Except for their missing captain and two injured cadets. Fleetfoot has a damaged wing and a missing right leg. Wind Breaker has multiple wounds all over his body when he shielded Fleetfoot from most of the incoming blasts. The rest of the cadet took notice of their injured comrades as they took them into their medical care. Both Soarin and Thunderlane have exchanged a few words before Thunderlane went to keep an eye on the injured cadets while Soarin is going to the locker room. Arriving in the locker room, Soarin began to punch and kick the lockers up to let out some frustrating anger after the last battle. Eventually he slowed down to stop and sits on the bench, thus thinking to himself on what went wrong, how the enemy easily beat his squad, and guilt of leaving behind his own captain. "I should've stayed with you Spitfire." Soarin murmurs to himself. "Having some mare trouble again?" A voice spoke up. Soarin turns his head to see a cadet looking at him. His name is Steam Brawler, a cousin of Spitfire and a good friend of both Soarin and Fleetfoot. "It's not like that and you know it." "Yeah, just trying to help cheer you up while you're busy 'pounding' all the lockers." Steam chuckled and notice Soarin with small red dot on his cheeks before he sits beside his friend. "What happened out there Soarin?" "We ran into some Shadowbolts. Perhaps more than we thought Steam." "How many exactly?" "About more than twenty, we only managed to take out five of them." Steam paused for a moment before he speaks up. "Where is my cousin and the two cadets? Are they okay?" "Fleetfoot and Wind are being treated in the medical. Fleetfoot has a damaged wing and a lost leg. Wind Breaker got multiple wounds on his body by being a shield to protect her from most of the enemy attacks. Spitfire has both damaged wings and order us to leave her behind as we retreat while she's hiding from the pursuers and find that strange light." "She what?!" Steam shouted in shock and anger. "Before the Shadowbolts caught us off-guard, we saw a strange light in the upper sky that somehow descended and flew into the lands near Cloudsdale. We're not exactly sure of where it landed at. So Spitfire wanted to search for it on her own before she comes back, despite having both of her damaged wings." Steam gritted his teeth and clutching his shaky hands. "Dammit cousin, why did you go off on your own without any single unit with you or even protect you?" "I don't know Steam. Either she didn't think clearly or maybe a different reason." A minute later, both of them went out of the locker room and went to go check on the injured. Before going close to them, a mare voice shouted to the both of them. They turns their heads to see another cadet running towards them in a hurry with some important things she is carries with her. Her name is Lightning Dust, a rookie cadet training in the Academy. Despite having good flight skills and combat, she went to join in the Wonderbolt recruitment. Things didn't go so well however when during training tests, Dust was too blinded of being the best recruiter and not realizing of knowing what a true Wonderbolt means. Thus Dust gets kicked out from nearly killing multiple friends from one of her dangerous move stunts as she realizes of what her owns actions did and her dreams of being a Wonderbolt are going to be crushed. Thankfully, one of Spitfire's friends is able to reconsider her judgement against Dust. So Spitfire has some talk with Dust and decided to give her another chance, but with harsh punishments. Now in the present, Dust run to the two cadets and eventually comes to a complete stop. "What is it Lightning?" Soarin asked her, wondering of why she's in a hurry. "Soarin, you may want to take a look at this." Dust answers back with a rolled up map. Soarin takes it and opens it up. He sees a map of Equestria with some red, yellow, and blue marks. Curious, he looks over to find a red mark between the Everfree and Cloudsdale as he suddenly got pale and froze. Back in his classes, he had read some reports of those color markings to know if they are any good or bad. His own teachers told him that he should never go to those locations and that those who do won't ever come back in good health or in one piece. His friend notice his shaky hands and puts a hand on his shoulder. "Is something wrong Soarin?" Steam says as Soarin shook his head from being pale. "I don't think it was a good idea of leaving our captain alone." {Meanwhile, inside the Everfree Forest. . .} "Oh my god, what are those things?" A few minutes ago, Lucas has wander into nothing or anything interesting in the forest. Even he hasn't heard any animals humming, barking, or any kind of sound. It's like everything has gone to silence from where he's going. He looks around and spots some kind of sign up ahead. Thinking there might be a city or town nearby, Lucas runs up to the sign and suddenly stops. He sees that the sign is not on the stick top and look down to spot a small square box container. "What's this thing?" He touches it and tries to open it, but not luck of opening the container. "Oh well, better keep this me just in case." He puts the box into his bag and heads toward the town, unaware of a growling noise and loud steps. Arriving into the town entrance, Lucas notice that all of the unusual houses have either been abandoned or destroying by who knows what. So he walks forward with caution to look both ways. Some houses he sees are trampled, torn apart, and have already collapsed. Even other ones have been damaged from something else with claws or teeth marks. Shaking his head, Lucas walks some more until his left shoe bumps into something. "What?" Looking down, he stumbles upon a town sign on the ground as he says the name of the title. "Sunny Town." He notices Sunny Town is marked off in red x and something is written on the bottom of the title name. "The Sinner Town's Judgement." Scratching his head in confusion, Lucas just ignores it and walks away from the sign. "Strange, what happen to this town? I wonder if-" Lucas cuts off and stops to see something horrifying. His eyes widen in shock upon looking at a bunch of body parts scattered up in one big pile of the center town. There's also some writing on each parts on them saying 'False believers', 'Child killer', 'Cheating horse', 'Scamming con', 'Lying family', 'Incest freak', and so on. "Jesus Christ." When Lucas looks closer to the pile, he suddenly trips and hits his body on an invisible barrier. "OW!" He then backs away from the barrier as a sudden alarm rings out loud. He covers his ears in hopes of making the sound stops. Less than a minute later, it stops as he lowers his hands from covering his ears. "What the hell was that?" When the alarm has stop, there was multiple growls, howls, and steps coming toward his position. "I-I better hide somewhere fast." Shaking in fright, Lucas runs inside an open broken house and hides below a broken window. He breathes in and out in order to calm himself down. He looks outside to see nothing yet as he hides back. He then notices something not too close from him and finds out what surprises him. Two unconscious unicorns are beside each other with no limbs missing, but a few damaged marks on them. One unicorn has blue and white color while the other one is mint. "Weird, are these two the survivors here?" He whispered in question. Lucas walks slowly over to the unicorns and thinks on what to do. "Maybe I can carry these two with me and find out what's going on here." Nodding at the decision, he grabs one of them and surprisingly know that they're not that heavy. He puts one over his left shoulder while grabbing another unicorn and over his other shoulder. Lucas then proceed to find a way out before he spots something out there. His blood turned cold of seeing multiple unidentified monsters roaming around this former town. "Oh my god, what are those things?" Lucas shakily whispers while trying to not to make too much sound. Unfortunately for him, one of those monsters heard his sound and looks back at him. The creature growls toward the other and they all look at him as they each slowly walks toward his hiding place. Thinking now might be the best time to run, Lucas runs out the back broken window as the chase is on. "Crap, as if I didn't need more tailing me for dinner!" He shouted. Lucas tries to trail off the monsters by zigzagging into each house, but it hasn't work. Each monsters didn't care about destroying everything in their path as they always go for the main course meals or snacks. "Come on legs, don't fail me now! Just keep running!" One of the monsters ran fast and hits Lucas in the back with a strong tail, sending him flying. "AH! DAMMIT!" After flying some distance, he falls onto the ground and drops two unicorns. He slowly gets up to see multiples monsters slow crawl towards him and the unicorns. "Oh crap, I'm a goner." Before the monsters would get their meal time, an arrow hit on the ground in front of them as it suddenly explodes with blue clouds covering them all. Multiple howls and growls of pains roared as they begun to flail around wildly. Not going to wait any longer of being a chowder meal, Lucas shook his head and grabs the two unicorns onto his shoulders and proceed to run back in the forest and perhaps find out who saved him. 'This night just keeps getting weirder and weirder.' Lucas thought in his mind. {Elsewhere, outside the Everfree Forest. . .} A white little bunny hops around and stops to yawn while stretch it's little paws out. The bunny yips in shock when a laser blast lands closest in just a few little feet near him. It sees two figures fighting one in a struggling battle. Yipping again, the bunny hops back into the forest. Back in the battle, Spitfire manage to take out one Shadowbolt member after being spotted. She has some trouble fighting the other two as they were tricky to hit. She tries to kick the one in front her, but enemy dodges it and punches the side of her face while the other one kicks her in the chest hard. "GAH!" Spitfire coughs a few liquid out and staggers to maintain her stance, but didn't have time when two kicks hit her in the chest again as she fall down on the ground. She tries to get up, only for a blade to stab her on the left arm. "AAAAHHHHH!" Spitfire screamed in pain. "So much for the hot-headed captain now." The Shadowbolt stallion snickers. "W-Why are you doing this? Who ordered you to kill me and my squad?" "Shut up ya bloody horse. You'll be dead soon." The other stallion said before the first one spoke again. "Now, now, we can at least tell a few things until we can both kill her. If there's a small chance she might survive or not, no one will be able to stop us." The stallion bends down and looks at Spitfire eye to eye. "Let's just say that our unknown contractor got sick and tired of this world's biggest mistakes and wants to make things normal the way it should be. Of course this might not be good news for the 'failure princesses & council' and their 'precious knights, nobles, & citizens' for their own twisted game. Although, the contractor has better plans in mind with the aid of us Shadowbolts and our great leader." The stallion grabs Spitfire by the neck as they get up and ready his sword at her. "A shame that you won't be able to witness of what's become of this new world." Spitfire's eyes widen in fear and sadness as the two stallions grin with murderous eyes. "Have fun of being tortured endlessly in the depths of Tartarus, former cap-" The stallion cuts off when a sudden laser shoots him in the head from far away, dropping both Spitfire and the now deceased Shadowbolt on the ground. "S-SARGENT!" The other stallion shouted in shock as he tries to shoot at the unknown killer. Sadly, he misses as two more lasers hit him in both the chest and head, thus falling to the ground. Spitfire's vision begins to go blurry as she spots a little thing beside her before she lost conscious. Back in Ponyville, a pink hyperactive pony is at her friend's Boutique shop getting materials. "Rarity, where can I find the doodle assets?" The pink pony asked the white unicorn. Her friend rubs a hand over her face while concentrating on her work. "It's pronounced Levar Potion Pinkie dear, top shelf to the right." She answered. "Oooooohhh so that's how you say it." Pinkie soon spots the one she saw on the shelf, but suddenly halted. Her system body has felt wibbly wobbly all over as Rarity turns her head to see Pinkie acting weird. "Pinkie Pie darling, is it your Pinkie Sense again?" The pink pony stopped and felt dizzy for a moment before shaking her head. "Apparently yes, but something is definitely off with my senses." Author's Note Hey everyone and followers, did ya miss me~? Sorry for writing halts. Had to get some things done and my grandma made it home a few weeks or so after getting the breast cancer from before the end of 2018. She's doing alright, but still recovering and I got to spend some with her including her birthday today. So yeah, leave a comment down below and see ya later! Chapter 2: Rest in a cottage.Outside the Everfree Forest, Lucas finally makes it out as he panted heavily from running. He sits down on the ground and puts the unicorns from his shoulders to the ground as well. He takes some deep breaths and has been looking around to see if those monsters have either followed him or biding their time to strike again. After a few minutes, he sighs knowing that it's safe for now. "I think I lost them." Lucas quietly says, not to make too much noise. Unknown to him, one of the unicorn is squirming a little to wake up soon. "I better find a good hiding place before they find me again." So Lucas stands up and picks up the unicorns into his arms and heads off. Some minutes later, he stops by close to a strange tech of a cottage home. Thinking this might be a good place to lay low, he walks further and lays the two unicorns near the front door. Nodding to himself, he looks around to see the coast is clear and walks off to grab any food or drinks. "I better see if there's anything for today." While Lucas is off on his own, another cyber anthro pony named Fluttershy is seen on her way to her cottage home carrying an unconscious Spitfire. Some time ago, her little white bunny is panicking, hopping, and flailing his paws that there's trouble outside. So Fluttershy followed her furry friend on where it was and spots three ponies on the ground with only one barely alive. She looks over at one of them and immediately gasps upon recognizing the one. "S-S-Spitfire, oh no what happened to you?!" Now Fluttershy is carrying Spitfire to her home to get her fixed up. Upon arriving at her home, her eyes widen of seeing the two missing unicorns right by her front door "Lyra! Minuette!" She goes to check up on them to see if those two okay, thankfully they're just only sleeping. Fluttershy then takes each pony in her house one-by-one inside. She also grabs some stabilizing tools for Spitfire in order to make she doesn't die while her pet bunny is keeping an eye on and guarding the two unicorns. After making some adjustments, Fluttershy nods and proceeds to head outside & close her door before using her wings to fly high and goes to one of her friends for assistance. "I better go and ask Applejack for help." {Meanwhile, in Cyber Sweet Apple Acres. . .} Behind the farm, both Applejack and Rainbow Dash are busy fighting in their combat practice. Rainbow went to charge at Applejack with a left fist, but Applejack quickly ducks from the attack. She counter attacks with an upper right leg and Rainbow dodges that one with a front flip. She then turns around and spins uses her right leg towards Applejack, but she anticipated it and catches Rainbow's leg with both hands. She then jumps and uses both her foot hooves on Rainbow to the ground hard. Dash groans from the attack, responds by grabbing Applejack's legs and uses both hooves to kick her back. Applejack groans and gets off of Dash before planting face first into the ground. She rolls over and pauses to see her friend with a weapon aiming at her. She sighs in defeat and asks to help her up with her left hand. Dash smiles and grabs Applejack's hand with hers to pull her up and stand. Both shaking their hands in approving for their good fight. "Looks like I've won this round AJ." Rainbow said chuckling with a smirk. "Yeah, but next time I won't be losing to you Dash." Applejack said frowning before having a small grin. "Well I guess we better call it a night-" "Applejack! Applejack!" Their conversation were cut short when both the girls turn toward Fluttershy flying to them in a big hurry. So both Applejack and Rainbow run up to their friends to see what's up with her. "Hold up Fluttershy, just calm down and tell us what's wrong." Applejack says to her friend in concern. Fluttershy tries to calm down for a moment and looks up at her two friends. "Girls, I need your help. I found Captain Spitfire all damaged up and I also found both Lyra Heartstrings and Minuette unconscious at my cottage." {Back to Fluttershy's Cottage. . .} Lucas arrives back with only some fresh fruits and a bottle of water he found. He stops and sees the two unicorns who were last scene by the front door went missing. "Oh crap, where the hell are they?" He puts both the foods & bottle of water in his backpack and begins to find the unicorns. He sneakily looks over to every bush, hiding places, and up in the trees with no such luck. The only place he didn't check was inside the cottage. So he goes back to the front and sees if it's locked or not. Surprise to him, the door knob is unlocked as he slowly opens it up to not make a sound. He goes inside and slowly closes the door behind him. He tip toes with each step and finds the two unicorns resting on a couple of couches. He sighs in relief and decides to take some rest on a chair while eating a couple of good fruits. A few minutes later, Lucas hears multiple voices heading toward this cottage. 'Dammit, not now.' Lucas's minds says in worry. Panicking of getting caught, he decide to sneak upstairs and spots a couple of doors for bedrooms. He opens up one of them and closes the door before covering his mouth to not make any sound. He puts his left ear at the door upon hearing a mixed of voices downstairs. One was a chatty fast voice and the other one is like an exciting fan girl. He couldn't exactly hear of what they were all saying, but actually heard one speaking out loud. "She'll be alright girls, Spitfire probably needs a few days to rest until her body is fully repaired." Then the next thing, the voices went to silent as he rubs his left ear to see if something was wrong and why the voices became silent. He glances out the window and notices that it's getting close to midnight. 'I better hide up here and go to sleep. Then escape first thing in the morning.' So he decides to lock the door, go over to a comfy bed, and get some sleep for tomorrow. As Lucas is asleep, the silence suddenly went back to normal and the voices are heard again. "Okay girls, we'll go investigate tomorrow and find out whose prints were on both Lyra and Minuette." "Sounds wonderful darling." The next morning inside the Everfree, some chomping and crunches can be heard. A few gruesome unknown monsters are busy eating away at the four deceased Shadowbolt members, each one are fighting over the scraps and claiming all to their own. Then a loud roar halted their meals, each one turning their heads to see a giant one looking down upon them as those monsters quick back up and bows to the big one. The tall monster spoke in a different language tone and it's pack growls in understand as they head off to their new meals. The tall monster waits for a moment and looks around & sniff to see if it's being watched. Noticing that nothing's here, the tall one grumbles and heads back to it's pack. Author's Note Hey everyone, sorry it took so long. Had some good and bad things going on in my hometown. Here's an adorable picture for an apology. Take notes on Poppi's new moves, Johnny Bravo and Nep. Chapter 3: The meetings.{Hidden hideout location. . .} Far off away from Ponyville, four silhouette robe figures are sneaking & hiding from any signs of patrol or enemy nearby. When the coast is clear, three of them enters a cave while the other one remains behind to guard the entrance. Inside the cave, three figure walks further in and stops at the center. One of them steps forward and grabs an orb device before placing it onto the ground. Backing up away from the orb and joining the two figures, the orbs devices begins to glow and a big holographic projector is shown. An image forms on screen to show a dark figure with blue eye colors sitting in a chair at a gorgeous table. "Thank you for attending to this meeting today. Please, have a seat. There is much to discuss." The three figures took a seat by using their gadgets as the screen silhouette figure opens up a map showing the video footage of multiple sectors in different locations. "As you three are aware, a lot of changes have been scattered all around Equestria and across other nations beyond the continents. The Crystal Empire has border their city ever since the disappearance of Prince Shining Armor and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. All the scattered Changelings who crashed a wedding months ago have been captured by an unknown group of raiders. The Griffons, Zebras, Sea ponies, Kirins, Diamond Dogs, Minotaurs, Dragons, and others have isolated their lands away from the Equestrian Order." Another button typing is pressed as it shows a picture that three couldn't see behind it. "Worse still, four more lands are being targeted by the unknown enemies." The picture turns around and it's fully shown. "Their targets are Tartarus, Caribou Empire, Ourtown, and lastly. . . . . . . Ponyville." The three figures gasp in shock as one of them spoke up. "I-Is it true, will our home be targeted and possibly destroyed?" One of the says in shock. "Afraid so, those enemies will eventually target Ponyville and they'll tear down everything in their path, no matter who stands in their way. Not to worry though, I have sent a messenger of mine to help out defend your home." All the pictures and video footage minimized and closed out. "In the meantime, about one week from today, I need you three to pack up anything you need and head to these coordinates for a big meeting." "Ah thought you said it was in a few more months?" "True, but my lead commander have made a change of planning schedule." {Elsewhere. . .} Five figures are seen in the canyons near the changelings territory. Each of them sits down on the ground as one of them speaks up. "I'm sure that you four have many questions to ask us, mostly for my master as well." A male anthro stallion who spoke began to repair one of his blades and modifies it. "For now, I'll let each of you ask me three questions, starting with you Sunset Shimmer." The one who's name is called by him think for a moment before speaking up. "First question; Is it true that your master stopped me from entering the mirror portal?" "Yes." "Second question; Was he under the orders from Princess Celestia or any other pony?" "Nope, he made this choice on his own." "Last question; Why did he stop me from making my own destiny?" The stallion stops what he's doing and looks at her. Sighing, he put his blade by his side. "The reason why he stopped your destiny coming true is that he foreseen many of your countless deaths in the past, especially the three sirens as well. Even all of the other species on this planet also has suffered unfortunate demises, including Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Shining Armor, and many more." Sunset's eyes widen in shock and surprise, along with the sirens and one of them grumble for some reason. "My master felt sadden that he could've prevented their deaths, yet he didn't. In order to do so, he began to take some drastic measure plans, even though it would spell dire consequences later on. Which is precisely why he's chosen each of you to stay here in Equestria and protect it against our true enemies." "W-Well um, what are we supposed to do?" Asked one of the sirens. "First is we have to repel our enemies back, rescue Discord, and finally find the Elements of Harmony." "Wait, what do you mean rescue Discord and why find the Elements of Harmony?" Sunset raised an eyebrow. "My master lost contact with Discord months ago, the last time they spoke is that Discord told us he felt his body shaking in fear and he'll be back in a little while in search for investigation. We have waited, but he didn't came back. Both of us believe someone or something is keeping him out of sight and range. As for the Elements of Harmony, it was my master's orders to find them. Last time the elements were at is in the castle of two sisters, but it appears someone may have hidden them for who know where exactly." Their conversations are cut short when they heard loud footsteps approaching their position. "Grab your weapons and get ready, they found us." All of them got and got their weapons ready as they wait. The loud footsteps were drawing in closes and closes until it's revealed of a tall robotic enemy with the right hand holding a decapitated dead mare's head. It then points it's left hand to the five. "SSSSSSSSERVE THE DIVIIIIIIINE ONESSSSSS OR SSSSSUFFFFER OUR WRAAAAATH!!!" "Yeah? Here's my answer to them!" The stallion points his blade at his enemy as the pointed blade's tip glows and fires at the enemy's chest. It got him, but this didn't do enough, only made it growl and crushed the mare's head with it's right hand. "THEN DIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Behind the tall enemy, multiple grunts of enemies charging at the group. No time to retreat, the stallion, three sirens, and Sunset Shimmer charge as well. Their weapons clash as the battle wages near the changeling territory. Author's Note Hey there, I'm very sorry this took too long to write, but I was busy on my other story works and had to make some changing routes. It's very frustrating when you write stories and wanting to play games on your consoles at the same time. As a token of an apology, I found this pic for all of you. Also before I forget, fasten your seat belts cause the rumble will begin in the next chapter. Disney Hades: Let's get ready to RUMBLE!!! Chapter 4: Tensions in Equestria.At midnight, a stealth figure is floating high with a glider squirrel suit above Canterlot's border walls. "I'm at the destination, over?" The figure says, using a com link. "I hear you, if my calculations are correct, it appear that some of the city's guards have taken the day off. Maintain your current goal, stay out of sight and take out any guard that's blocking your path. Do whatever you can to enter the castle, understand?" "Roger." Deactivating the glider, the figure descends from the sky. Maintaining the position of falling down, the figure picks a target on the unsuspecting patrollers. Using the activated enhance flying squirrel suit, they suppress the altitude by slowing down. "Oh how I dread to see you, my love in the castle~." The guard murmurs in a singing tone. Eyeing a perfect target, the figure deactivates the suit and goes in to tackle the solar guard. "Wha-!" The guard didn't register on who hit him as both of them collided at the boxes of food supplies. Rolling over out of the crash, the figure gets up and shoots the guard's head with a suppressed laser gun. "I've landed into the borders. Proceeding to the target in the castle." Looking around the area, the figure thinks the coast is clear and runs to the castle. In the said Canterlot castle, a certain white alicorn princess is watching out the window. The look of serious concern is written all over her face. Not only about the safety of her ponies, but also the worry she has when every town and city in Equestria is put on edge. Many species around the world is on high alert, clearly blaming the royalty of ponies for this madness to happen and the disappearances of missing lives. Which is why they don't want anything to do with them by isolating themselves away from all ponies. However, the white pony princess doesn't believe that her own ponies is blamed for this atrocity. She can definitely tell that something else is at work hidden beneath the public eye, but can't be certain of it. I mean sure, some villains she and her sister had come across didn't go to extreme lengths of motives. Yet, this wasn't the case in the current present time. There has to be something she is missing, but can't quite figure it out. What's even worse, it appears that she can tell that someone or something has entered her city. Her own eyes couldn't see exactly from out the window of a possible intruder, but the weird part is her guards weren't alert. Meaning that the intruder had slipped under there muzzles. "Sister?" A voice called out to her. Her thoughts were interrupted when she turned to see her little night alicorn sister. "Luna, I thought you were going to take over of lowering the moon soon." She reminded her. "I have Celestia, but my dream realm was put to a halt. Apparently, I couldn't focus my power for some reason and never tracked down the missing ponies. However, it appears that I have sensed an intruder in the borders of Canterlot so I came to you if your alright sister." "I'm aware as well dear Luna, but not clearly okay at all because of the distress in our lands. You and I know that every creature around the world doesn't trust us, yet they don't know of what's unknowingly at play here. Although, a part of me thinks the intruder maybe somehow connected to the links of missing reports and the divided nations across Equestria." "So, what should we do sister? Apprehend the suspect of interrogation or kill him or her?" Princess Celestia glances out the window for a thought before looking back at her sister. "Not yet, let the intruder enter our borders. Put every guard on alert in the castle and make sure to put them on standby for lockdown and capture. We can't know for certain on what the intruder is after. Me or you sister, our crowns, the book spells in Canterlot, imprisoned Discord, we'll never know until they enter the castle." {Meanwhile. . .} Most of the OurTown were up in flames or have collapsed from the conflict fight. A white injured pony is flung hard towards a ruined building. The figure walks over to the pony who was in the rubble shook it's head. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, what an utter shame. This despicable town you wasteful equality ponies called it is nothing more than another corrupted society that must be punished. Always the fool your leader is, but never the kind to know what she truly values the most. Sad to say on what happens to you and your friends since you don't remember on what exactly Starlight has done to her attempts on wiping out every cutiemark in Equestria." The white stallion gets up from the rubble with some sheer will kicking in. "No, I-I won't let you destroy everything I owned!" Going for a spin kick, the stallion jumps up and swings a kick to the head. Only, he didn't anticipate his attack was caught by the figure's tail as it huffs. "Pathetic, as usual for the soon to be broken shattered diamond." The white stallion felt his leg got easily chopped off by a blade, but didn't cry to in time before his whole body got forced onto the ground by the figure's arm and his chest core punched hard. "Double Diamond!" The figure turns it's head to a unicorn mare who's halted by a winged pegasi. "Do not be so hasty you murderous time killer, I'm only ordered to keep you alive while the rest will become one of us. Your childhood coltfriend however, heh heh heh, well he's in trouble since my rival is already after him and believe me, you'll definitely fall into utter despair as you watch him suffer in torment because of you." Multiple unknown four legged creatures joined the figure as they await for command. "Wipe out the rest of this corrupted town, hunt them down and bring me back any souvenirs." The creatures roared and have begun to run havoc again while the unicorn struggle to break free. "Let me go Nightglider, I have to help him and warn Sunburst!" "You can't Starlight, neither of us don't stand a chance against these things! I hate to say it, but there's nothing we can do for them! Diamond and Favor did the right thing of buying us time for us to escape! Unless you have any brighter ideas, I vote to say we hightail it out of here with the rest of the survivors!" As much as Starlight hates to admit, Nightglider does have a point and no spell is enough to hurt the invaders. Her whole dream of expanding the equal society is now gone, shattered into dust. Begrudgingly, Starlight stops her pursuit and turns around running along with Nightglider following her. The figure widen a sadistic teeth grin, watching the terrified ponies flee as many buildings fall over. "Yes, run little whorse time killer. Run all you like, but you can't hide from my creator. Whether it be the Badlands, Vanhoover, Cloudsdale, the Frozen North, Dragon Land, Griffon Empire, the sea, space, another attempt timeline, it won't matter." Several young dragons are seen with battle cries charging at the freakish looking enemies. Many have blown breaths of fire to disintegrate the morale and having the land advantage. However, neither of the dragons known that these enemies has a commander entering a flaming battle. "Out of my way you miserable lizard dogs. A figure uses a whip weapon to blow away some dragons. "TORCH! You and your mistake of a daughter have something that belongs to my creator!" Just then, a massive tall dragon enters the battle ground and glares at the intruder. "HOW DARE YOU ENTER THE DRAGON HEART TERRITORY?!!! NOT ONLY HAVE YOU GOTTEN THE BALLS TO INVADED MY LAND, BUT ALSO ATTACKING MY OWN KIND AND INSULTING MY FAMILY!!! I CANNOT LET THIS DISRESPECTING ENEMIES LIKE YOU TO ESCAPE FROM DESICRATING THE DRAGON'S HISTORY!!!" Unfazed by the loud dragon lord, the figure darkly chuckles before responding to him. "First of all you stupid old dragon, I don't really give a fucking damn about you supposed bullshit culture and god knows what else! Second, I'm ordered to get the source and the staff from you! Although, I would suggest you hand it over so that every pitiful dragon's blood won't be spilled on your hands. Otherwise, try as you might to fight me and fail because I'm on a time clock here. Believe me, I don't want to keep my creator very, very, impatient any more longer." In the sky, four more elders along with Torch's daughter Ember has appeared beside him. "We won't let you get away with this intruder! I don't care if you are ordered by the royal pony scums or whoever in Equestria, we'll sentence you to death and flung your corpse at the bottom of the sea!" Ember shouted, gripping her staff and teeth gritting. The figure however, merely laughs in maniacal and thinks these dragons won't give up. "Stubborn and prideful as always like your father. Yet, I don't have to tell you on your past history since you were so focused on unknowingly becoming another pawn of the old dragon order. Very well, if you lizard dragons won't give me what I want, then I shall gladly do it by force and kill any standing in my way as promised by the dragonslayer!" Back in Canterlot, the stealth intruder quietly killed a few royal guards using silent weapon. Killing one with a knife thrown to the throat at a good distance, got one from an arrow to the head behind cover at the barrels, and choked one out using a rope to drag the poor pony in the basement before smashing the pony's head to the ground multiple times. Eventually, the intruder has made it to the castle's front entrance close by. Spotting a couple of soldiers blocking the door, the intruder quietly sneaks around. Looking for any signs of open places by climbing on the walls with enhanced gloves & knee pads, the stealth figure finds a small window on the left open and proceeds to go enter it. Closing in to the opening, the figure climbs into the place and stands up. "I'm inside the place. Proceeding with caution to my target inside the castle." He whispers on his com link. The stealth figure walks quietly in the hallways to the destination. Peeking in at each corners, he saw that there's less guards and maidens occupying in every door rooms. Using the enhanced camouflage device on button, he sneaks away to avoiding any pony that would accidentally bump into him. 'Something's not right, I'm guessing they known that I entered the borders.' He thinks. Eyeing the pathways, he turns right and reaches the designated room. "Bingo." He then quietly opens up the door leading to the castle's library. Seeing that there's no one here, he slowly closes the door and goes off to searching the sections on every book list. Grabbing the ladder, he checks out from the top to bottom rows of book title listing in A to Z. 'No, nope, not this book. Definitely should reshelf in the adult section aisle.' Checking the lower rows, he stops and find the right book. 'Thank you for your service, Amore.' His com link buzzes and taps to it. "What is it? I got what I've wanted from you." "Zero nine, you've got multiple ponies surrounding you." The stealth figure looks up to seeing every guard pointing there crossbows and magic at him. "So, I was right, they lessen the staffs in the castle just to let me enter. Very clever tactic of the princesses." Beside the guards are both the sun and moon princess armored up. "Who are thou intruder?!" The young sister demanded him. He lightly laughs in astonishment, never excepting some time of being caught red handed in a long while. "That's classified dark horse." "Excuse me?!" She glares at him. "Calm yourself sister, don't let the intruder's words anger you." The older sister reminded her. The stealth intruder turns off his camo and turns to the princesses. Only, what they and the guards don't know is that he's eyeing for any weak spots to escape from this library room. "Terribly sorry for entering your borders in Canterlot, but I'm afraid that I can't wait any longer. My client boss is waiting for me outside of this city and I am in a hurry. I'll tell you what, after I go free outside and come, you have the privilege of arresting me and put on trial. Sounds like a fair trade, right?" "Strong honest words for a male, but we can tell that you're obviously lying intruder. The forbidden book you carry is not something I, nor my sister and guards can't let it go out in public. These are my options to you, either surrender peacefully or we'll take you down by force if necessary." The older sister warns him. He hums in thoughts before sarcastically shakes his hand in fright. "Ooooh, I'm shaking all over my spine and body. Your intimidation demands won't work on me, princesses. I've been in the best of training than any of your lacking solar and night guard. Whatever dangers that I came across the battlefields, no enemy nor giants can take me down easily. So, I ask all of you, can you still have the will and fight to have a chance against me? Even if either one of you will die by your princesses' orders?" Every solar and night guards is gripping there weapons and magic. "Outstanding." He darkly grins under his mask. Picking out something from his pocket, he pulls out a small ball as it triggers to form in a hazy smoke. In the library, you can hear the battle starting as the princesses and guards ready up to fight him. Back in Fluttershy's Cottage, the Wonderbolt captain Spitfire is waking up. "Wh-Where am I? Fleetfoot? Soarin? Anyone?" She whispers. Her vision is all blurry, but notices someone or somebody beside her playing a soft tune. "Who are you?" She says, but her voice wasn't loud enough. Although, she didn't know that the tune is apparently calming her down and no signs of any danger. Without realizing, she yawns and goes back to sleep mode. Remembering to rest up fully energized until day time before going to call in her team. Author's Note It's been a long wait everyone, I know. Things are in order, but not exactly since well, I'm trying to do my best on focusing on writing. I wrote in a blog lately if anyone doesn't know and I'm trying to keep my mentality steadily. I haven't done any drugs, shots, meth, or alcohol if anyone's wondering. Not going down the dark path that a few of my family members already took. I've been so clean without touching any of them in my school days years ago towards finally graduating and still, didn't touch any drugs or anything wrong to affect me. I'll be living my promise for my family until the day that I passed away in the future people. Anyways, the battle is just getting started as it'll shift to Ponyville. So, like I said in the last chapter, fasten your seatbelts people cause the plot is about to get thicken and mostly intense of body count.
Prologue: Journey begins.Cyber World, an unusual future world filled with mystery, excitement, weaponry, chemicals, science, beautiful cities, discovering unknown creatures, you name it. Although, not every Cyber World is exactly peaceful as you may think. There have been some dark stories of Apocalypse, Armageddon, outbreaks, countless wars, and so on in the different Cyber Worlds. On the planet known as Cyber Equis, there has been signs of ominous warnings throughout multiple villages, towns, and kingdoms. Yet neither citizens nor their rulers never even notice as they were too busy on having their own problems to deal with. This, is where the story begins. When one living flesh called a human perhaps can change the fate of every advanced citizen, town, kingdom, and Cyber Equis. {Cyber Equis, year 10,000, 9:00 p.m.} {Somewhere in Cyber Equestria. . .} Up above the skies at night, several figures are searching on a scout mission. Their appearance are anthropomorphic ponies mixed with cyber parts on them and equipped with some unusual weapons. Another figure appears and came back to join. Her name is Captain Spitfire, leader of the Wonderbolts Academy. She taps to her side head and begin to speak with the cadets via intercoms. "Keep an eye out every pony, our enemies should be nearby. Keep your guard up at all times." "Yes sir." "Roger." "Understood Captain." A few days ago, Spitfire read reports of missing ponies in both Canterlot and Cloudsdale with no evidence left behind or why they are being targeted of going missing. So she began to gather up her best cadets and proceed to grab their gears before heading out. Now they're at night searching for any possible signs of an enemy. "Wait, what's that up above?" One of her cadets said. Lost in her thought, Spitfire shook her head and sees her cadet pointing up above. Looking to where she pointed, she spots something shiny in the atmosphere. Then the shiny star grew brighter and brighter as it suddenly heads toward them. "Evasive maneuver!" Spitfire yelled out to her cadets. They dodged out of the way in time as the object comes down and heads toward the land. "Any units injured?" "No sir, we're all good." "Where's our unknown target heading Wind Breaker?" "I believe it's heading toward near Cloudsdale, Captain." While all of the cadets were busy watching the object float away to the land, a figure is in the clouds watching them from behind. It grabs a hold of a sniper type rifle and proceeds to spot a target. Once the target is found, it fires the rifle and hits one of the cadets. "FLEETFOOT!" Spitfire shouted to her. She angrily turn around and uses one of her rifle to shoot the figure hiding in the clouds. Unfortunately for her, she missed as it dodges and appears from it's hiding spot. "I got her Captain! She's alright, but her left engine is damaged." Spitfire sighs in relief before she and her cadets glare at the figure. The figure appears as a pony and shouts out loud. "DEATH TO THE RULERS AND THEIR PRECIOUS KINGDOMS!!! SHOW NO MERCY!!!" Four more figure of ponies suddenly appear and flies down to their targets. Spitfire and her cadets proceed to maneuver away as a dogfight begins in the sky. "Breaker, take Fleet back to camp. Every pony else, take out the enemies." "B-But Cap-" "I WON'T ASK AGAIN! WE'LL KEEP THE ENEMY BUSY UNTIL WE RETREAT! NOW GO!!!" ". . . understood Captain Spitfire." Wind Breaker holds onto Fleetfoot tight and retreats away to the Academy. While the two retreat, Spitfire and her group are battling with the five unknown ponies. Multiple laser fire began to go off as one of the unknown ponies got hit in the chest by a laser and is going down away from the sky. Two Wonderbolts cadets also got hit from a few lasers, but are still keep going in the fight. As the two groups are fighting each other, Spitfire and the figure pony are fighting. The figure used it's rifle and fires at her head, but she ducks from it and shoots her own rifle at the figure. Both begin to fire and mostly miss, but hit a few at each other. Spitfire's wing engine got damaged while the figure's both wings are also damaged as well. When they were fighting, Spitfire recognizes a symbol of a Shadowbolt member as the two suddenly stop and stare at each other. "Give it up Shadowbolt, you're outnumbered." "I don't think so." Three cadets regroup to Spitfire while the Shadowbolt growls before smirking at them. "You may have bested my units, but let's see if you can handle my best trained hunters." As the pony says this, he snaps his fingers and twenty more members joins up with him. "Your move Wonder rejects. Surrender or be destroyed along with your weak cadets." All of the Shadowbolt members took out their weapons and aim at each of the Wonderbolts. "Aw buck me." Spitfire murmured before she used her com link to her units. "WONDERBOLTS RETREAT!" As she said it, they use all of their wing engine power to back away and speed off. "AFTER THEM!" The Shadowbolt leader shouted to them. Now the chase has commence. The Wonderbolts are dodging from a bunch of laser fire shooting at them while they try to shoot back. However, a few of the lasers manage to hit their mark on Spitfire and both of her wing engines. "AUGH!" "Captain!" With both of her wings malfunction and damaged from enemy fire, Spitfire began to lose altitude and brace for impact with a loud thud. Her teammates tries to get to her, but couldn't since they're being still shot at from laser fire. Upon landing hard on the ground, Spitfire looked up and speak in con again. "Don't worry about me! I'll catch up while you flee from the enemy." She then turn off her communicator and retreats into a building not too far away while her cadets continue to fly away in retreat from the Shadowbolts. "I'd better look for the object first. Then catch up to my unit." Looking to see if any pursuers, there was none as she sighs and grabs some tool gear. "Right now, I need to hide in order heal up and get my wings repaired. The Shadowbolts might be looking for me soon. Hopefully we can figure out what in Tartarus is going on here." {Meanwhile, near Cyber Cloudsdale. . .} Around the same time of a dogfight in the sky, the shiny object has begun to slow down and touches to the ground. A moment later, the object slowly changes shape into a bipedal figure male human with full clothing before it's eventually complete and lays on the ground. The male human slowly opens up his blue eyes and sees that it's night outside. He yawns out loud and stretches his arms before he stops yawning and scratch his black hair. He gets up from the ground and stands tall to look that something is off. "W-Where am I, how did I get here?" The human murmured. Shaking his head in confusion, the male human looks around to notice he's in a strange forest. "I don't even remember being in a forest." Looking back at the ground by his side, he see his backpack laying there with food and drinks. "Maybe there might be someone around here that can help me out." So he took some of his belongings with him and proceeds to find a way of getting out of the forest. Unbeknownst to him, a small shiny object appears behind him before it floats into his backpack and disappears. {Cyber Ponyville, 3 hours earlier. . .} A librarian purple unicorn is going over on her notes and letters to write for the Princesses. "Okay uh, Mayor Mare is really busy, but I'm sure Princess Celestia and Luna can perhaps help me out." She paces back and forth on what to tell them. During the time, her dragon assistant came into her room and places the meal by her desk. "Twilight?" The unicorn got interrupted from her thinking and turns toward him. "Spike, can't you see that I'm busy here t write for the Princesses?" She huffs. Her assistant rolls his eyes, shaking his head. "You do realize they are having a meeting today, right Twilight? I mean it's clearly not healthy if you keep on being more anxious and hyperventilating through all the troubles every day." "But Spike, you don't understand. It's not the reason why I-" "Look, I get that you seem a little worried about some missing reports, including a couple of our friends back in Canterlot. Don't worry, as soon as the Princesses are done, we'll go send the letter. In the meantime, why don't you just relax and take some time off? I'm sure there's no harm of spending time with your trusty number one assistant." Twilight did thought about it before clearing her head. Inhaling and exhaling slowly, she smiles and pats her assistant's head. "Your right Spike, I shouldn't be overthinking things sometimes." "Exactly, so when was the last time you saw them?" "Oh I dunno, maybe around the time when I visited my BBBFF." "Uh huh, speaking of mares." Spike pulls out a design letter of his drawing. "Which outfit do I try on so I can impress Rarity? The classic suit or the deluxe bad boy?" Seeing his design, Twilight snorted in giggles and laughing. "Oh Spike, you don't need to do that. You're way too young to date her." Instantly frowning, Spike crumbles up the letter and takes away her meal. "Second thought, I regret on talking to you about this topic of romance since you'd rather study than going out with any stallions like a normal mare. If you need me, I'll be eating up your meal for my lonesome sorrow." When he walks away, Twilight realizes her mistakes and stops her laughing. "Oh ponyfeathers, I didn't know it was so stupid of me when I should've made a better positive response to him. Wait a second Spike, I didn't mean on what I had said! Also, it's really hard for me to step away from my studies and try to find any dates of interesting stallions! Not mares since I'm clearly straight!" {Elsewhere, in an unknown location. . .} "The hourglass has shifted it's time. The wheels have begin to turn unexpectedly, once again. The event is coming soon than I never expected. Bring me my loyal guards, immediately." "As you wish. . ." *door opens and closes* ". . . . . . . What are you planning?" Author's Note Hey everyone, guess what today is? My birthday! HAHAH! Gonna need to make plans. Anyway, I came up with this idea from watching a few anime series since there hasn't been any stories of Cyber anthro ponies, except maybe a couple or a few, I don't know. So yeah, I thought it would be good of creating this one. Hopefully this might good for all of you or not, let me know, and see ya later!
Chapter 1: Not a warm welcome.{Cyber Equis, year 10,000, 9:30 p.m.} {Cyber Wonderbolts Academy. . .} After narrowly escaping their pursuers, the Wonderbolt cadets were able to make it safe to the academy with no casualty killed. Except for their missing captain and two injured cadets. Fleetfoot has a damaged wing and a missing right leg. Wind Breaker has multiple wounds all over his body when he shielded Fleetfoot from most of the incoming blasts. The rest of the cadet took notice of their injured comrades as they took them into their medical care. Both Soarin and Thunderlane have exchanged a few words before Thunderlane went to keep an eye on the injured cadets while Soarin is going to the locker room. Arriving in the locker room, Soarin began to punch and kick the lockers up to let out some frustrating anger after the last battle. Eventually he slowed down to stop and sits on the bench, thus thinking to himself on what went wrong, how the enemy easily beat his squad, and guilt of leaving behind his own captain. "I should've stayed with you Spitfire." Soarin murmurs to himself. "Having some mare trouble again?" A voice spoke up. Soarin turns his head to see a cadet looking at him. His name is Steam Brawler, a cousin of Spitfire and a good friend of both Soarin and Fleetfoot. "It's not like that and you know it." "Yeah, just trying to help cheer you up while you're busy 'pounding' all the lockers." Steam chuckled and notice Soarin with small red dot on his cheeks before he sits beside his friend. "What happened out there Soarin?" "We ran into some Shadowbolts. Perhaps more than we thought Steam." "How many exactly?" "About more than twenty, we only managed to take out five of them." Steam paused for a moment before he speaks up. "Where is my cousin and the two cadets? Are they okay?" "Fleetfoot and Wind are being treated in the medical. Fleetfoot has a damaged wing and a lost leg. Wind Breaker got multiple wounds on his body by being a shield to protect her from most of the enemy attacks. Spitfire has both damaged wings and order us to leave her behind as we retreat while she's hiding from the pursuers and find that strange light." "She what?!" Steam shouted in shock and anger. "Before the Shadowbolts caught us off-guard, we saw a strange light in the upper sky that somehow descended and flew into the lands near Cloudsdale. We're not exactly sure of where it landed at. So Spitfire wanted to search for it on her own before she comes back, despite having both of her damaged wings." Steam gritted his teeth and clutching his shaky hands. "Dammit cousin, why did you go off on your own without any single unit with you or even protect you?" "I don't know Steam. Either she didn't think clearly or maybe a different reason." A minute later, both of them went out of the locker room and went to go check on the injured. Before going close to them, a mare voice shouted to the both of them. They turns their heads to see another cadet running towards them in a hurry with some important things she is carries with her. Her name is Lightning Dust, a rookie cadet training in the Academy. Despite having good flight skills and combat, she went to join in the Wonderbolt recruitment. Things didn't go so well however when during training tests, Dust was too blinded of being the best recruiter and not realizing of knowing what a true Wonderbolt means. Thus Dust gets kicked out from nearly killing multiple friends from one of her dangerous move stunts as she realizes of what her owns actions did and her dreams of being a Wonderbolt are going to be crushed. Thankfully, one of Spitfire's friends is able to reconsider her judgement against Dust. So Spitfire has some talk with Dust and decided to give her another chance, but with harsh punishments. Now in the present, Dust run to the two cadets and eventually comes to a complete stop. "What is it Lightning?" Soarin asked her, wondering of why she's in a hurry. "Soarin, you may want to take a look at this." Dust answers back with a rolled up map. Soarin takes it and opens it up. He sees a map of Equestria with some red, yellow, and blue marks. Curious, he looks over to find a red mark between the Everfree and Cloudsdale as he suddenly got pale and froze. Back in his classes, he had read some reports of those color markings to know if they are any good or bad. His own teachers told him that he should never go to those locations and that those who do won't ever come back in good health or in one piece. His friend notice his shaky hands and puts a hand on his shoulder. "Is something wrong Soarin?" Steam says as Soarin shook his head from being pale. "I don't think it was a good idea of leaving our captain alone." {Meanwhile, inside the Everfree Forest. . .} "Oh my god, what are those things?" A few minutes ago, Lucas has wander into nothing or anything interesting in the forest. Even he hasn't heard any animals humming, barking, or any kind of sound. It's like everything has gone to silence from where he's going. He looks around and spots some kind of sign up ahead. Thinking there might be a city or town nearby, Lucas runs up to the sign and suddenly stops. He sees that the sign is not on the stick top and look down to spot a small square box container. "What's this thing?" He touches it and tries to open it, but not luck of opening the container. "Oh well, better keep this me just in case." He puts the box into his bag and heads toward the town, unaware of a growling noise and loud steps. Arriving into the town entrance, Lucas notice that all of the unusual houses have either been abandoned or destroying by who knows what. So he walks forward with caution to look both ways. Some houses he sees are trampled, torn apart, and have already collapsed. Even other ones have been damaged from something else with claws or teeth marks. Shaking his head, Lucas walks some more until his left shoe bumps into something. "What?" Looking down, he stumbles upon a town sign on the ground as he says the name of the title. "Sunny Town." He notices Sunny Town is marked off in red x and something is written on the bottom of the title name. "The Sinner Town's Judgement." Scratching his head in confusion, Lucas just ignores it and walks away from the sign. "Strange, what happen to this town? I wonder if-" Lucas cuts off and stops to see something horrifying. His eyes widen in shock upon looking at a bunch of body parts scattered up in one big pile of the center town. There's also some writing on each parts on them saying 'False believers', 'Child killer', 'Cheating horse', 'Scamming con', 'Lying family', 'Incest freak', and so on. "Jesus Christ." When Lucas looks closer to the pile, he suddenly trips and hits his body on an invisible barrier. "OW!" He then backs away from the barrier as a sudden alarm rings out loud. He covers his ears in hopes of making the sound stops. Less than a minute later, it stops as he lowers his hands from covering his ears. "What the hell was that?" When the alarm has stop, there was multiple growls, howls, and steps coming toward his position. "I-I better hide somewhere fast." Shaking in fright, Lucas runs inside an open broken house and hides below a broken window. He breathes in and out in order to calm himself down. He looks outside to see nothing yet as he hides back. He then notices something not too close from him and finds out what surprises him. Two unconscious unicorns are beside each other with no limbs missing, but a few damaged marks on them. One unicorn has blue and white color while the other one is mint. "Weird, are these two the survivors here?" He whispered in question. Lucas walks slowly over to the unicorns and thinks on what to do. "Maybe I can carry these two with me and find out what's going on here." Nodding at the decision, he grabs one of them and surprisingly know that they're not that heavy. He puts one over his left shoulder while grabbing another unicorn and over his other shoulder. Lucas then proceed to find a way out before he spots something out there. His blood turned cold of seeing multiple unidentified monsters roaming around this former town. "Oh my god, what are those things?" Lucas shakily whispers while trying to not to make too much sound. Unfortunately for him, one of those monsters heard his sound and looks back at him. The creature growls toward the other and they all look at him as they each slowly walks toward his hiding place. Thinking now might be the best time to run, Lucas runs out the back broken window as the chase is on. "Crap, as if I didn't need more tailing me for dinner!" He shouted. Lucas tries to trail off the monsters by zigzagging into each house, but it hasn't work. Each monsters didn't care about destroying everything in their path as they always go for the main course meals or snacks. "Come on legs, don't fail me now! Just keep running!" One of the monsters ran fast and hits Lucas in the back with a strong tail, sending him flying. "AH! DAMMIT!" After flying some distance, he falls onto the ground and drops two unicorns. He slowly gets up to see multiples monsters slow crawl towards him and the unicorns. "Oh crap, I'm a goner." Before the monsters would get their meal time, an arrow hit on the ground in front of them as it suddenly explodes with blue clouds covering them all. Multiple howls and growls of pains roared as they begun to flail around wildly. Not going to wait any longer of being a chowder meal, Lucas shook his head and grabs the two unicorns onto his shoulders and proceed to run back in the forest and perhaps find out who saved him. 'This night just keeps getting weirder and weirder.' Lucas thought in his mind. {Elsewhere, outside the Everfree Forest. . .} A white little bunny hops around and stops to yawn while stretch it's little paws out. The bunny yips in shock when a laser blast lands closest in just a few little feet near him. It sees two figures fighting one in a struggling battle. Yipping again, the bunny hops back into the forest. Back in the battle, Spitfire manage to take out one Shadowbolt member after being spotted. She has some trouble fighting the other two as they were tricky to hit. She tries to kick the one in front her, but enemy dodges it and punches the side of her face while the other one kicks her in the chest hard. "GAH!" Spitfire coughs a few liquid out and staggers to maintain her stance, but didn't have time when two kicks hit her in the chest again as she fall down on the ground. She tries to get up, only for a blade to stab her on the left arm. "AAAAHHHHH!" Spitfire screamed in pain. "So much for the hot-headed captain now." The Shadowbolt stallion snickers. "W-Why are you doing this? Who ordered you to kill me and my squad?" "Shut up ya bloody horse. You'll be dead soon." The other stallion said before the first one spoke again. "Now, now, we can at least tell a few things until we can both kill her. If there's a small chance she might survive or not, no one will be able to stop us." The stallion bends down and looks at Spitfire eye to eye. "Let's just say that our unknown contractor got sick and tired of this world's biggest mistakes and wants to make things normal the way it should be. Of course this might not be good news for the 'failure princesses & council' and their 'precious knights, nobles, & citizens' for their own twisted game. Although, the contractor has better plans in mind with the aid of us Shadowbolts and our great leader." The stallion grabs Spitfire by the neck as they get up and ready his sword at her. "A shame that you won't be able to witness of what's become of this new world." Spitfire's eyes widen in fear and sadness as the two stallions grin with murderous eyes. "Have fun of being tortured endlessly in the depths of Tartarus, former cap-" The stallion cuts off when a sudden laser shoots him in the head from far away, dropping both Spitfire and the now deceased Shadowbolt on the ground. "S-SARGENT!" The other stallion shouted in shock as he tries to shoot at the unknown killer. Sadly, he misses as two more lasers hit him in both the chest and head, thus falling to the ground. Spitfire's vision begins to go blurry as she spots a little thing beside her before she lost conscious. Back in Ponyville, a pink hyperactive pony is at her friend's Boutique shop getting materials. "Rarity, where can I find the doodle assets?" The pink pony asked the white unicorn. Her friend rubs a hand over her face while concentrating on her work. "It's pronounced Levar Potion Pinkie dear, top shelf to the right." She answered. "Oooooohhh so that's how you say it." Pinkie soon spots the one she saw on the shelf, but suddenly halted. Her system body has felt wibbly wobbly all over as Rarity turns her head to see Pinkie acting weird. "Pinkie Pie darling, is it your Pinkie Sense again?" The pink pony stopped and felt dizzy for a moment before shaking her head. "Apparently yes, but something is definitely off with my senses." Author's Note Hey everyone and followers, did ya miss me~? Sorry for writing halts. Had to get some things done and my grandma made it home a few weeks or so after getting the breast cancer from before the end of 2018. She's doing alright, but still recovering and I got to spend some with her including her birthday today. So yeah, leave a comment down below and see ya later!
Chapter 2: Rest in a cottage.Outside the Everfree Forest, Lucas finally makes it out as he panted heavily from running. He sits down on the ground and puts the unicorns from his shoulders to the ground as well. He takes some deep breaths and has been looking around to see if those monsters have either followed him or biding their time to strike again. After a few minutes, he sighs knowing that it's safe for now. "I think I lost them." Lucas quietly says, not to make too much noise. Unknown to him, one of the unicorn is squirming a little to wake up soon. "I better find a good hiding place before they find me again." So Lucas stands up and picks up the unicorns into his arms and heads off. Some minutes later, he stops by close to a strange tech of a cottage home. Thinking this might be a good place to lay low, he walks further and lays the two unicorns near the front door. Nodding to himself, he looks around to see the coast is clear and walks off to grab any food or drinks. "I better see if there's anything for today." While Lucas is off on his own, another cyber anthro pony named Fluttershy is seen on her way to her cottage home carrying an unconscious Spitfire. Some time ago, her little white bunny is panicking, hopping, and flailing his paws that there's trouble outside. So Fluttershy followed her furry friend on where it was and spots three ponies on the ground with only one barely alive. She looks over at one of them and immediately gasps upon recognizing the one. "S-S-Spitfire, oh no what happened to you?!" Now Fluttershy is carrying Spitfire to her home to get her fixed up. Upon arriving at her home, her eyes widen of seeing the two missing unicorns right by her front door "Lyra! Minuette!" She goes to check up on them to see if those two okay, thankfully they're just only sleeping. Fluttershy then takes each pony in her house one-by-one inside. She also grabs some stabilizing tools for Spitfire in order to make she doesn't die while her pet bunny is keeping an eye on and guarding the two unicorns. After making some adjustments, Fluttershy nods and proceeds to head outside & close her door before using her wings to fly high and goes to one of her friends for assistance. "I better go and ask Applejack for help." {Meanwhile, in Cyber Sweet Apple Acres. . .} Behind the farm, both Applejack and Rainbow Dash are busy fighting in their combat practice. Rainbow went to charge at Applejack with a left fist, but Applejack quickly ducks from the attack. She counter attacks with an upper right leg and Rainbow dodges that one with a front flip. She then turns around and spins uses her right leg towards Applejack, but she anticipated it and catches Rainbow's leg with both hands. She then jumps and uses both her foot hooves on Rainbow to the ground hard. Dash groans from the attack, responds by grabbing Applejack's legs and uses both hooves to kick her back. Applejack groans and gets off of Dash before planting face first into the ground. She rolls over and pauses to see her friend with a weapon aiming at her. She sighs in defeat and asks to help her up with her left hand. Dash smiles and grabs Applejack's hand with hers to pull her up and stand. Both shaking their hands in approving for their good fight. "Looks like I've won this round AJ." Rainbow said chuckling with a smirk. "Yeah, but next time I won't be losing to you Dash." Applejack said frowning before having a small grin. "Well I guess we better call it a night-" "Applejack! Applejack!" Their conversation were cut short when both the girls turn toward Fluttershy flying to them in a big hurry. So both Applejack and Rainbow run up to their friends to see what's up with her. "Hold up Fluttershy, just calm down and tell us what's wrong." Applejack says to her friend in concern. Fluttershy tries to calm down for a moment and looks up at her two friends. "Girls, I need your help. I found Captain Spitfire all damaged up and I also found both Lyra Heartstrings and Minuette unconscious at my cottage." {Back to Fluttershy's Cottage. . .} Lucas arrives back with only some fresh fruits and a bottle of water he found. He stops and sees the two unicorns who were last scene by the front door went missing. "Oh crap, where the hell are they?" He puts both the foods & bottle of water in his backpack and begins to find the unicorns. He sneakily looks over to every bush, hiding places, and up in the trees with no such luck. The only place he didn't check was inside the cottage. So he goes back to the front and sees if it's locked or not. Surprise to him, the door knob is unlocked as he slowly opens it up to not make a sound. He goes inside and slowly closes the door behind him. He tip toes with each step and finds the two unicorns resting on a couple of couches. He sighs in relief and decides to take some rest on a chair while eating a couple of good fruits. A few minutes later, Lucas hears multiple voices heading toward this cottage. 'Dammit, not now.' Lucas's minds says in worry. Panicking of getting caught, he decide to sneak upstairs and spots a couple of doors for bedrooms. He opens up one of them and closes the door before covering his mouth to not make any sound. He puts his left ear at the door upon hearing a mixed of voices downstairs. One was a chatty fast voice and the other one is like an exciting fan girl. He couldn't exactly hear of what they were all saying, but actually heard one speaking out loud. "She'll be alright girls, Spitfire probably needs a few days to rest until her body is fully repaired." Then the next thing, the voices went to silent as he rubs his left ear to see if something was wrong and why the voices became silent. He glances out the window and notices that it's getting close to midnight. 'I better hide up here and go to sleep. Then escape first thing in the morning.' So he decides to lock the door, go over to a comfy bed, and get some sleep for tomorrow. As Lucas is asleep, the silence suddenly went back to normal and the voices are heard again. "Okay girls, we'll go investigate tomorrow and find out whose prints were on both Lyra and Minuette." "Sounds wonderful darling." The next morning inside the Everfree, some chomping and crunches can be heard. A few gruesome unknown monsters are busy eating away at the four deceased Shadowbolt members, each one are fighting over the scraps and claiming all to their own. Then a loud roar halted their meals, each one turning their heads to see a giant one looking down upon them as those monsters quick back up and bows to the big one. The tall monster spoke in a different language tone and it's pack growls in understand as they head off to their new meals. The tall monster waits for a moment and looks around & sniff to see if it's being watched. Noticing that nothing's here, the tall one grumbles and heads back to it's pack. Author's Note Hey everyone, sorry it took so long. Had some good and bad things going on in my hometown. Here's an adorable picture for an apology. Take notes on Poppi's new moves, Johnny Bravo and Nep.
Chapter 3: The meetings.{Hidden hideout location. . .} Far off away from Ponyville, four silhouette robe figures are sneaking & hiding from any signs of patrol or enemy nearby. When the coast is clear, three of them enters a cave while the other one remains behind to guard the entrance. Inside the cave, three figure walks further in and stops at the center. One of them steps forward and grabs an orb device before placing it onto the ground. Backing up away from the orb and joining the two figures, the orbs devices begins to glow and a big holographic projector is shown. An image forms on screen to show a dark figure with blue eye colors sitting in a chair at a gorgeous table. "Thank you for attending to this meeting today. Please, have a seat. There is much to discuss." The three figures took a seat by using their gadgets as the screen silhouette figure opens up a map showing the video footage of multiple sectors in different locations. "As you three are aware, a lot of changes have been scattered all around Equestria and across other nations beyond the continents. The Crystal Empire has border their city ever since the disappearance of Prince Shining Armor and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. All the scattered Changelings who crashed a wedding months ago have been captured by an unknown group of raiders. The Griffons, Zebras, Sea ponies, Kirins, Diamond Dogs, Minotaurs, Dragons, and others have isolated their lands away from the Equestrian Order." Another button typing is pressed as it shows a picture that three couldn't see behind it. "Worse still, four more lands are being targeted by the unknown enemies." The picture turns around and it's fully shown. "Their targets are Tartarus, Caribou Empire, Ourtown, and lastly. . . . . . . Ponyville." The three figures gasp in shock as one of them spoke up. "I-Is it true, will our home be targeted and possibly destroyed?" One of the says in shock. "Afraid so, those enemies will eventually target Ponyville and they'll tear down everything in their path, no matter who stands in their way. Not to worry though, I have sent a messenger of mine to help out defend your home." All the pictures and video footage minimized and closed out. "In the meantime, about one week from today, I need you three to pack up anything you need and head to these coordinates for a big meeting." "Ah thought you said it was in a few more months?" "True, but my lead commander have made a change of planning schedule." {Elsewhere. . .} Five figures are seen in the canyons near the changelings territory. Each of them sits down on the ground as one of them speaks up. "I'm sure that you four have many questions to ask us, mostly for my master as well." A male anthro stallion who spoke began to repair one of his blades and modifies it. "For now, I'll let each of you ask me three questions, starting with you Sunset Shimmer." The one who's name is called by him think for a moment before speaking up. "First question; Is it true that your master stopped me from entering the mirror portal?" "Yes." "Second question; Was he under the orders from Princess Celestia or any other pony?" "Nope, he made this choice on his own." "Last question; Why did he stop me from making my own destiny?" The stallion stops what he's doing and looks at her. Sighing, he put his blade by his side. "The reason why he stopped your destiny coming true is that he foreseen many of your countless deaths in the past, especially the three sirens as well. Even all of the other species on this planet also has suffered unfortunate demises, including Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Shining Armor, and many more." Sunset's eyes widen in shock and surprise, along with the sirens and one of them grumble for some reason. "My master felt sadden that he could've prevented their deaths, yet he didn't. In order to do so, he began to take some drastic measure plans, even though it would spell dire consequences later on. Which is precisely why he's chosen each of you to stay here in Equestria and protect it against our true enemies." "W-Well um, what are we supposed to do?" Asked one of the sirens. "First is we have to repel our enemies back, rescue Discord, and finally find the Elements of Harmony." "Wait, what do you mean rescue Discord and why find the Elements of Harmony?" Sunset raised an eyebrow. "My master lost contact with Discord months ago, the last time they spoke is that Discord told us he felt his body shaking in fear and he'll be back in a little while in search for investigation. We have waited, but he didn't came back. Both of us believe someone or something is keeping him out of sight and range. As for the Elements of Harmony, it was my master's orders to find them. Last time the elements were at is in the castle of two sisters, but it appears someone may have hidden them for who know where exactly." Their conversations are cut short when they heard loud footsteps approaching their position. "Grab your weapons and get ready, they found us." All of them got and got their weapons ready as they wait. The loud footsteps were drawing in closes and closes until it's revealed of a tall robotic enemy with the right hand holding a decapitated dead mare's head. It then points it's left hand to the five. "SSSSSSSSERVE THE DIVIIIIIIINE ONESSSSSS OR SSSSSUFFFFER OUR WRAAAAATH!!!" "Yeah? Here's my answer to them!" The stallion points his blade at his enemy as the pointed blade's tip glows and fires at the enemy's chest. It got him, but this didn't do enough, only made it growl and crushed the mare's head with it's right hand. "THEN DIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Behind the tall enemy, multiple grunts of enemies charging at the group. No time to retreat, the stallion, three sirens, and Sunset Shimmer charge as well. Their weapons clash as the battle wages near the changeling territory. Author's Note Hey there, I'm very sorry this took too long to write, but I was busy on my other story works and had to make some changing routes. It's very frustrating when you write stories and wanting to play games on your consoles at the same time. As a token of an apology, I found this pic for all of you. Also before I forget, fasten your seat belts cause the rumble will begin in the next chapter. Disney Hades: Let's get ready to RUMBLE!!!
Chapter 4: Tensions in Equestria.At midnight, a stealth figure is floating high with a glider squirrel suit above Canterlot's border walls. "I'm at the destination, over?" The figure says, using a com link. "I hear you, if my calculations are correct, it appear that some of the city's guards have taken the day off. Maintain your current goal, stay out of sight and take out any guard that's blocking your path. Do whatever you can to enter the castle, understand?" "Roger." Deactivating the glider, the figure descends from the sky. Maintaining the position of falling down, the figure picks a target on the unsuspecting patrollers. Using the activated enhance flying squirrel suit, they suppress the altitude by slowing down. "Oh how I dread to see you, my love in the castle~." The guard murmurs in a singing tone. Eyeing a perfect target, the figure deactivates the suit and goes in to tackle the solar guard. "Wha-!" The guard didn't register on who hit him as both of them collided at the boxes of food supplies. Rolling over out of the crash, the figure gets up and shoots the guard's head with a suppressed laser gun. "I've landed into the borders. Proceeding to the target in the castle." Looking around the area, the figure thinks the coast is clear and runs to the castle. In the said Canterlot castle, a certain white alicorn princess is watching out the window. The look of serious concern is written all over her face. Not only about the safety of her ponies, but also the worry she has when every town and city in Equestria is put on edge. Many species around the world is on high alert, clearly blaming the royalty of ponies for this madness to happen and the disappearances of missing lives. Which is why they don't want anything to do with them by isolating themselves away from all ponies. However, the white pony princess doesn't believe that her own ponies is blamed for this atrocity. She can definitely tell that something else is at work hidden beneath the public eye, but can't be certain of it. I mean sure, some villains she and her sister had come across didn't go to extreme lengths of motives. Yet, this wasn't the case in the current present time. There has to be something she is missing, but can't quite figure it out. What's even worse, it appears that she can tell that someone or something has entered her city. Her own eyes couldn't see exactly from out the window of a possible intruder, but the weird part is her guards weren't alert. Meaning that the intruder had slipped under there muzzles. "Sister?" A voice called out to her. Her thoughts were interrupted when she turned to see her little night alicorn sister. "Luna, I thought you were going to take over of lowering the moon soon." She reminded her. "I have Celestia, but my dream realm was put to a halt. Apparently, I couldn't focus my power for some reason and never tracked down the missing ponies. However, it appears that I have sensed an intruder in the borders of Canterlot so I came to you if your alright sister." "I'm aware as well dear Luna, but not clearly okay at all because of the distress in our lands. You and I know that every creature around the world doesn't trust us, yet they don't know of what's unknowingly at play here. Although, a part of me thinks the intruder maybe somehow connected to the links of missing reports and the divided nations across Equestria." "So, what should we do sister? Apprehend the suspect of interrogation or kill him or her?" Princess Celestia glances out the window for a thought before looking back at her sister. "Not yet, let the intruder enter our borders. Put every guard on alert in the castle and make sure to put them on standby for lockdown and capture. We can't know for certain on what the intruder is after. Me or you sister, our crowns, the book spells in Canterlot, imprisoned Discord, we'll never know until they enter the castle." {Meanwhile. . .} Most of the OurTown were up in flames or have collapsed from the conflict fight. A white injured pony is flung hard towards a ruined building. The figure walks over to the pony who was in the rubble shook it's head. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, what an utter shame. This despicable town you wasteful equality ponies called it is nothing more than another corrupted society that must be punished. Always the fool your leader is, but never the kind to know what she truly values the most. Sad to say on what happens to you and your friends since you don't remember on what exactly Starlight has done to her attempts on wiping out every cutiemark in Equestria." The white stallion gets up from the rubble with some sheer will kicking in. "No, I-I won't let you destroy everything I owned!" Going for a spin kick, the stallion jumps up and swings a kick to the head. Only, he didn't anticipate his attack was caught by the figure's tail as it huffs. "Pathetic, as usual for the soon to be broken shattered diamond." The white stallion felt his leg got easily chopped off by a blade, but didn't cry to in time before his whole body got forced onto the ground by the figure's arm and his chest core punched hard. "Double Diamond!" The figure turns it's head to a unicorn mare who's halted by a winged pegasi. "Do not be so hasty you murderous time killer, I'm only ordered to keep you alive while the rest will become one of us. Your childhood coltfriend however, heh heh heh, well he's in trouble since my rival is already after him and believe me, you'll definitely fall into utter despair as you watch him suffer in torment because of you." Multiple unknown four legged creatures joined the figure as they await for command. "Wipe out the rest of this corrupted town, hunt them down and bring me back any souvenirs." The creatures roared and have begun to run havoc again while the unicorn struggle to break free. "Let me go Nightglider, I have to help him and warn Sunburst!" "You can't Starlight, neither of us don't stand a chance against these things! I hate to say it, but there's nothing we can do for them! Diamond and Favor did the right thing of buying us time for us to escape! Unless you have any brighter ideas, I vote to say we hightail it out of here with the rest of the survivors!" As much as Starlight hates to admit, Nightglider does have a point and no spell is enough to hurt the invaders. Her whole dream of expanding the equal society is now gone, shattered into dust. Begrudgingly, Starlight stops her pursuit and turns around running along with Nightglider following her. The figure widen a sadistic teeth grin, watching the terrified ponies flee as many buildings fall over. "Yes, run little whorse time killer. Run all you like, but you can't hide from my creator. Whether it be the Badlands, Vanhoover, Cloudsdale, the Frozen North, Dragon Land, Griffon Empire, the sea, space, another attempt timeline, it won't matter." Several young dragons are seen with battle cries charging at the freakish looking enemies. Many have blown breaths of fire to disintegrate the morale and having the land advantage. However, neither of the dragons known that these enemies has a commander entering a flaming battle. "Out of my way you miserable lizard dogs. A figure uses a whip weapon to blow away some dragons. "TORCH! You and your mistake of a daughter have something that belongs to my creator!" Just then, a massive tall dragon enters the battle ground and glares at the intruder. "HOW DARE YOU ENTER THE DRAGON HEART TERRITORY?!!! NOT ONLY HAVE YOU GOTTEN THE BALLS TO INVADED MY LAND, BUT ALSO ATTACKING MY OWN KIND AND INSULTING MY FAMILY!!! I CANNOT LET THIS DISRESPECTING ENEMIES LIKE YOU TO ESCAPE FROM DESICRATING THE DRAGON'S HISTORY!!!" Unfazed by the loud dragon lord, the figure darkly chuckles before responding to him. "First of all you stupid old dragon, I don't really give a fucking damn about you supposed bullshit culture and god knows what else! Second, I'm ordered to get the source and the staff from you! Although, I would suggest you hand it over so that every pitiful dragon's blood won't be spilled on your hands. Otherwise, try as you might to fight me and fail because I'm on a time clock here. Believe me, I don't want to keep my creator very, very, impatient any more longer." In the sky, four more elders along with Torch's daughter Ember has appeared beside him. "We won't let you get away with this intruder! I don't care if you are ordered by the royal pony scums or whoever in Equestria, we'll sentence you to death and flung your corpse at the bottom of the sea!" Ember shouted, gripping her staff and teeth gritting. The figure however, merely laughs in maniacal and thinks these dragons won't give up. "Stubborn and prideful as always like your father. Yet, I don't have to tell you on your past history since you were so focused on unknowingly becoming another pawn of the old dragon order. Very well, if you lizard dragons won't give me what I want, then I shall gladly do it by force and kill any standing in my way as promised by the dragonslayer!" Back in Canterlot, the stealth intruder quietly killed a few royal guards using silent weapon. Killing one with a knife thrown to the throat at a good distance, got one from an arrow to the head behind cover at the barrels, and choked one out using a rope to drag the poor pony in the basement before smashing the pony's head to the ground multiple times. Eventually, the intruder has made it to the castle's front entrance close by. Spotting a couple of soldiers blocking the door, the intruder quietly sneaks around. Looking for any signs of open places by climbing on the walls with enhanced gloves & knee pads, the stealth figure finds a small window on the left open and proceeds to go enter it. Closing in to the opening, the figure climbs into the place and stands up. "I'm inside the place. Proceeding with caution to my target inside the castle." He whispers on his com link. The stealth figure walks quietly in the hallways to the destination. Peeking in at each corners, he saw that there's less guards and maidens occupying in every door rooms. Using the enhanced camouflage device on button, he sneaks away to avoiding any pony that would accidentally bump into him. 'Something's not right, I'm guessing they known that I entered the borders.' He thinks. Eyeing the pathways, he turns right and reaches the designated room. "Bingo." He then quietly opens up the door leading to the castle's library. Seeing that there's no one here, he slowly closes the door and goes off to searching the sections on every book list. Grabbing the ladder, he checks out from the top to bottom rows of book title listing in A to Z. 'No, nope, not this book. Definitely should reshelf in the adult section aisle.' Checking the lower rows, he stops and find the right book. 'Thank you for your service, Amore.' His com link buzzes and taps to it. "What is it? I got what I've wanted from you." "Zero nine, you've got multiple ponies surrounding you." The stealth figure looks up to seeing every guard pointing there crossbows and magic at him. "So, I was right, they lessen the staffs in the castle just to let me enter. Very clever tactic of the princesses." Beside the guards are both the sun and moon princess armored up. "Who are thou intruder?!" The young sister demanded him. He lightly laughs in astonishment, never excepting some time of being caught red handed in a long while. "That's classified dark horse." "Excuse me?!" She glares at him. "Calm yourself sister, don't let the intruder's words anger you." The older sister reminded her. The stealth intruder turns off his camo and turns to the princesses. Only, what they and the guards don't know is that he's eyeing for any weak spots to escape from this library room. "Terribly sorry for entering your borders in Canterlot, but I'm afraid that I can't wait any longer. My client boss is waiting for me outside of this city and I am in a hurry. I'll tell you what, after I go free outside and come, you have the privilege of arresting me and put on trial. Sounds like a fair trade, right?" "Strong honest words for a male, but we can tell that you're obviously lying intruder. The forbidden book you carry is not something I, nor my sister and guards can't let it go out in public. These are my options to you, either surrender peacefully or we'll take you down by force if necessary." The older sister warns him. He hums in thoughts before sarcastically shakes his hand in fright. "Ooooh, I'm shaking all over my spine and body. Your intimidation demands won't work on me, princesses. I've been in the best of training than any of your lacking solar and night guard. Whatever dangers that I came across the battlefields, no enemy nor giants can take me down easily. So, I ask all of you, can you still have the will and fight to have a chance against me? Even if either one of you will die by your princesses' orders?" Every solar and night guards is gripping there weapons and magic. "Outstanding." He darkly grins under his mask. Picking out something from his pocket, he pulls out a small ball as it triggers to form in a hazy smoke.
