*Reach’s POV*
My eyes shot open. My vision was blurry and obscured, I was surrounded by what felt some kind of water-like fluid and a cylinder glass containing the fluid with what looked to be a control panel outside of it, with tubes connected to me. Despite being in this fluid, I am able to breath. I looked outside of the glass to see two ape-like things, with one writing something down on what seems to be a note pad. One presumably female and the other presumably male. The female stopped writing and started walking towards the panel while looking at me. The panel itself had buttons all over it ranging from small to big buttons with flashing lights, and levers.
The female switched a lever, making the tubes connected to me detach, then she pushed a button. The liquid started to drain, making my vision clear and forcing me standing with surprisingly dry fur. Wait, Fur? What am I? I lift both my arms up and see hand covered in white fur but I only have 4 fingers in total. I put down my arms and look down to my feet and see wolf-like white furred paws. I seem to be an anthropomorphic wolf. If I am correct, I should have a tail. I turn my head towards the area where my tail should be and I see a impossible long tail. I felt like I know so much yet so little. I look over my body again and notice some kind of contraction surrounding my chest area. I look back up to the ape creatures and see the male type something, making the cylinder detach from the top where it was connected and then come down completely. I got a clear look and they weren’t ape creatures, they were humans. The male was tall, standing a head taller than me withshort hair and seemed to be wearing some kind of green uniform adored with medals all over it. The female was significantly shorter than me and the male. She was wearing black glasses with what seemed to be a white lab coat and snug blue pants. She had long black hair with blue streaks that reached down to her waist.
The female took a somewhat nervous step towards me while the male pulled out a weird machine that looked similar to a gun but different in its own way. Yet I did not feel threatened with the weapon pointed at me.
“Do you understand me?” She asked in a shaky tone.
“Why are you asking it that!?!? That thing is the most powerful weapon created of all time not a little kid! Beside it doesn’t have a mouth!” This surprised me. I’m a weapon? What kind of weapon? Apparently a deadly one too. I don’t have a mouth? I lifted my right hand towards my face and feel for a mouth but I don’t feel anything. The male’s grip on his weapon tighten as his hand was shaking a little. Despite not having a mouth, I’ll still respond to the question. I slowy drop my hand to my side.
“Yes I can understand you.” I said to my own surprise. The male lowered his weapon while the female was jumping in an excited matter. The male looks at me with a curious yet perplexed look. He turns toward the woman and asks.
“What can be do, I can see trillions of dollars worth in this project already but why this design choice?” The woman stop jumping in excitement but still adored a huge smile.
“If he were to have a digestive system, by my calculations, it would cost millions upon millions of dollars to get a single meal for him due to massive amounts of energy being burnt by his use of powers.” she said in a factual tone. The male chuckled and turned around.
“Let’s test his powers then, shall we?” The woman nodded and looked at me.
“Follow me.” So I did. I followed behind the two, we walked in front a giant metal door with a hand scanner on the side. The lady walked towards the scanner and put her hand on it. After a few short seconds of waiting, the door quickly slid open, revealing miles of white floor and black dome miles above us covering the entirety of the white floor.
“Walk inside please?” The woman asked kindly. I obliged with her. I felt some kind of connection between her and me. She kind of had a motherly effect on me. Is she my mother?
“We will be preforming some physical tests on you, not much for you but still a heads up. We’ll be watching you from a window over there.” She pointed at a thick and heavily armored window protected by a purple force field next to the door we just passed through.
“The test start . . . NOW!” The door closed behind me and slammed with a loud thud. What use to be a black dome, changed into a dynamic blue sky with clouds lazily floating in the air. The ground changed too, what use to be a white floor was now a hilly green field. It was breath taking, until sirens started to go off. What was a peaceful landscape, changed into a horrific scene. The sky was covered in smoke along with the field having burnt grass and patches of fire on it. Soon a large battleship descend through the dome with water-like ripple effects on the dome. Once it was fully through the dome, cannons emerged from its sides or what I thought were cannons. A single one fired me a purple beam at me with me quickly jumping to my side, landing gracefully. Soon multiple beams were shot at me, with me simply running away from them at near super sonic speeds. At first, it had surprised me that I was running at impossibly fast speeds but I got use to it. As I was running, a white circular mach cone formed infront of me, I hadn’t notice that my feet were off the ground and I was now in a flying position close to the ground with my arms bent and near me with my legs close to each other. I had maneuvered a complete 90 degrees to my left to dodge a laser that barely search me. A hill was coming up and because of my speed and flight, I was launched towards the battleship but as I was above the ship, miniguns started to pop up from it and started raining hell on me. Bullets were hitting me but it didn’t hurt, the bullets just bounced off me. I turned at a 90 degree angle down towards the ship. As I was going down, the mach cone had sharpen into a triangular cone. Not a second later, a loud boom erupted.
*BOOOOOOM*
I ripped through the ship with such terrifying speed, that when I went through the ship it exploded. I slowed down my descent and landed softly. The ship was a mess by the time I landed. The ship started to rapidly descend towards one of the walls of the dome. There was one problem, if this ship landed near or on the wall inside the dome, lives could be lost if there were others here. I don’t know why but it felt natural to hold out my clawed hands in front of me. I put all my concentration on the ship, I don’t know why but it felt nessecary. The ship started to glow white around it, the more I concentrated, the brighter it got and the slower the ship got. Soon it had stopped completely, and I cocked my hand back, thrusted it forwards and stopped concentrating on it. It was flung to its demise. Upon contact with the ground, the ship explodes in fiery embers. I turn back but the sound of movement catches my ears. I look back and see a swarm of robots land 50 yards in front of me. They have a nimble, almost skeletal physique with thin framework. Their legs have backward knee joints and three claw-like toes. The torso is covered in a simple armour plate with a floodlight attached on the left side. The head is small and saucer-shaped with a horizontal optic visor. The gunner has no hands, only weapons. Swarms fly in the air with both weapons aimed at me. They shoot at me with their left thinner arms. Bullets come onto contact with me but they bounce off harmlessly. I stand there, laughing at their pathetic attempts to harm. They stop shooting at me and switch to their right arm, which is much bulkier than their left ones. Mini rockets quickly fire at me and I dodge, but due to their explosive impacts near me, I was sent flying through some of the robots. I landed and bounce a few times from the height of the fall. I quickly get up and start to run from them. The robots give into the relentless chase. My speed had proven to much of a challenge and leave them in my dust. I neared the burning remains of the ship I had destroyed and jumped on it, waiting for the army of robots. They were coming in rapidly each second. I put my right hand towards them with an open hand and concentrate on the robots. This time i had not put as much concentration and the whole army was under my control.
“Is this a joke?” I asked myself in disappointment.
“Fucking disappointments!” I hissed
The guy wasn’t lying when he said I was THE ultimate weapon and being poured trillions of dollars into. I bring my hand back, closing it in the process and then shoot it forward, opening my palm and losing concentration. This in turn sent them flying back with electrical currents rippling through them before they fell into pieces. The smoke filled sky turned into a pure dark color as the burnt and charred grass flattened into a white floor. The door opened, revealing the man with a shocked face and the gleeful smile of the woman.
“Holy shit sticks! I know he is the ultimate weapon the human race have ever laid eyes on but telekinesis, being bullet proof, and breaking the sound barrier? What does he have else that we didn’t see here? How does his anatomy work? Can we make more?” The man asked.
“1: What you didn’t see here were his enhanced senses, super strength, can make illusions, can fly without wings, breath under water, and can control electricity to a certain degree.
2: His anatomy is classified even to military higher-ups like yourself to some extent, however I will explain the very few things about his anatomy that isn’t classified. Since he doesn’t eat, he uses something similar to photosynthesis. He can use a variety of energy to make himself food since he has no digestive system, like for good examples; Sun light, Radiation, Plasma energy, Heat energy and many other things. But energy can not be created or destroyed, so he has a way to ‘burn’ energy. He releases used up energy in the form of steam. He is also invulnerable to getting any sicknesses or diseases. Imagine having a really congested nose and you had to resort to your mouth but you don’t have a mouth. Prepare to die of suffocation by snot. As to breathing under water, water molecules contain oxygen atoms, his cells remove the oxygen and pores release the hydrogen. To prevent fire around him, since hydrogen is a flammable gas, his body covers the hydrogen atoms in a fluid similar to water that prevent fires or explosions. So in his original tube we had him in while creating him, we had a purifier to clean the liquid in his tube.
3: we can make clones and his offspring. Cloning and making his offspring are easy. Clones will come out just like he is right now but his offspring will have high chances of being stronger than he is currently. Besides he is male, we had that as a design choice. From calculating in the making of him, i came across that making him a male was the better way to go, in mammals. Males tend to be bigger, faster, and stronger but females were more dominant. Meaning males could probably take an order better than a female because it’s in their genes. And like a male he is, he has a penis and reproductive system. We could just collect sperm samples and created the offspring in a highly advanced uterus that helps it grow and mature.” That was pretty lengthy. I need to ask what did they use to make me then. The man just stared at her before walking towards the exit door.
“Today was a good day, the ultimate weapon was made today. You’re a bright and young woman. Keep up the work.” And with that, he opened the door and left. The woman stared at me and I stared back.
“Sooo . . . What’s your name?” I asked. She chuckled.
“How forgetful of me, despite you being a lab creation, you are still a sentient being and technically my son, my name is Shara Bullocks but just call me Shara.” Shara? That name has a nice ring with her. So what’s my name?
“What’s my name?” I asked, her eyesbrows rose.
“We have never given you a real name, the closest thing to a name you’ve had is your project name, Project Alba Lupus. Meaning ‘Project White Wolf’.
Shara seemed to be in deep thought while having her hand under her chin.
“With your powers, your most notable involve aerodynamics; flying and telekinesis. I think I’ll call you Reach.”
“Sounds good to me.” She looked at a watch on her wrist that I didn’t notice was on her then at me.
“It’s time to go to sleep. Go inside the tube there.” She pointed at a large tube layed on the floor that was already opened, revealing some type of padding for sleep. I obeyed and stepped inside the tube and laid in there, it was rather comfortable in my opinion.
“Good night, Reach.” Shara said while closing the tube.
“Good night, Sarah.” I said. So I was technically her son, huh? I didn’t dwell on thoughts any longer, so I let the darkness cloud my mind.
*17 years later*
*Reach’s POV*
Over the course of the years, I was trained to hone on my abilities and succeeded in honing them, and trained in academics. My speed remained the same but I had more control on it and I learned how to fly independently, my super strength remained the same as I learned to control it, my telekinesis has improved greatly as grasping something in my telekinetic grip and throwing it has become second nature to me, controlling electricity was great because I could make it blast lightning bolts and fire lightning bolts out of my hands, learning to retract my sharp claws, and to make illusions was pretty easy as I just have to think of it and it appears also they were illusions but they could inflict damage on anything really. For academics was easy. I was easily smarter than nearly all humans and I was only going to get smarter. My brain was modified as well, improving it, in turn making me smarter. I was training against something harder everyday. Apparently I was a weapon for the United States of America. The newest president at the time, President Donald Trump, has angered many nations with his controversial comments making them threaten us and because of this, the people needed better protection against foreign countries. Also, I developed a close relationship with Shara. She was like a mother to me despite being a completely different species. In the years that lead up to this moment, I was being cloned though I was never able to interact with them, I heard from Shara that they weren’t nearly as strong as me but they were still strong. Also, the machine surrounding my chest is a power Inhibitor. It only comes off if I want it to or a massive amount of force hits it, making it immediately pop off me.
Besides training, Shara treated me pretty well. I got to meet other scientists like her. They were skeptical of me at first but they accepted me and even helped Shara in training me. On free time, we’d play games and listen to songs. I know, the ultimate weapon ever created by man kind listening to music and playing games? It’s silly but it’s true. Due to this, I had learned some things about myself. I was a mutated wolf. Machines can grow or get stronger like organic life, so they decided to make a living weapon. She used me for the experiement and changed my structure along with my biology, so I could be agile and strong. My digestive system was replaced with a plant-like digestive system, breaking down energy and converting it to usable energy.
Life had been great but I felt something today was ’off’. I was in the room I was made in, just walking around and looking around the room. Metal tables with papers stacked on them, vials and beakers filled with various chemicals, blueprints on various machines in this room, and a few scorched marks on the walls. I chuckled at the thought of Shara mixing chemicals only for them to explode in her face. A weird energy ripplied around the air, confusing me. This doesn’t feel like any kind of energy I’ve consumed. It feels in a way more ’Wild’ than anything I’ve felt before. Soon a small purple ball appears in the middle of the room. I’m curious but I take caution in my steps towards the ball of energy. I feel myself grow more energetic and powerful with each step.
“Whatever this energy, I’m growing stronger every second.” I said excited yet weary. I stretched my hand towards the glowing orb but when my hand touches it, my surroundings change. I was once standing on a cold metal floor but now I’m free falling rapidly towards a forest. By the time I realize what’s happening, I crash down on ground with a loud explosion.
*BOOM*
Because I was falling at an angle, I crashed and tumbled into unfortunate trees. With every tree I slid and tumbled into, they break or get torn off the ground. After about 20 trees, I start to slow significantly. However, as i was in a mid tumble, a tree was awaiting me. My back slammed into a tree, but the tree was being bent back like a rubber band ready to fire off. The tree did just that. The tree snapped back into place, launching me into the ground while perfectly planting my head in the ground. I popped my head out of the ground while jumping. I became aware of my surroundings as I turned to look at what I left behind. A long line was dug out and patches of fire were near the line along with broken trees. I shook myself to get rid of the dirt on my fur. Even when I was finished shaking, smudges of dirt were still on my coat.
“I need to find out where am I.” I said quietly. I start to traverse the forest but while maneuvering quickly around the trees and shrubs, I see sets of green glowing eyes in the bushes as I pass and smell a horrible scent nearby. After a few minutes, I found a dirt path leading to a field, revealing a far away village and a close cottage.
“I need to see this.” I say. Maybe I’m in Africa, but the heat isn’t overbearing and doesn’t seem dry. I’ve never seen a village like this, some of these buildings should fall and collapse but they don’t. Hell, why am I arguing over the architectural design being impossible on some of these houses when I myself defy physics!
Not a step later, three brown blurs shoot at me but I react in the nick of time. I dodge them, causing the blurs to land, revealing three wolves made out of tree bark and twigs. What the fuck? The wolf in the middle jumped at me with intense speed but despite being fast, I was faster. I back handed it to the wolf on my left, making them break into pieces. The wolf to my Right launched it self towards me. Did he see what just happened? They never learn, do they? I grabbed its throat and crushed it. Because of my super strength, it’s throat was crush into twigs. Easy as pie. I started to walk away from the pathetic remains of my recent opponents. Suddenly, the sound of wood hitting each other caught my attention. With speed and quick thinking, i turned around to see massive wooden jaws.I backflipped away from a massive wooden jaw, inches away from my face and landed in a crouch position. If I could smirk I would have. The gargantuan wooden wolf roared at me and charged.
“They never learn, do they?” I said in mocking tone and positioning myself in a runners starting position. Green slime oozed from its maw, as it pounds it’s paws towards me.
’Just a couple more steps’ It was just a few yards infront of me.
’Ready Fifteen yards away, Set ten yards away, GO!’ five yards away. I exploded with speed, inducing a loud boom.
*BOOM*
I was flying close to ground, going under the mutt. This confused the wolf, but he still was going to give chase. As soon as it turned around, I shot lightning at his limbs, making the entirety of the limbs to break off and turning him crippled. The pathetic heap of wood was whimpering in pain, making loud whines and cries. Good thing he wasn’t thrashing around in pain, making the next part easier. I grasped his limbs and looked at him then at the limbs.
“Listen. You should have never tried to hurt me. You may be a dumb worthless beast in this world but even YOU should know better. I am an embodiment of destruction and a weapon beyond your comprehension. You were no more of a challenge than crabmeat. I am without question, the ultimate strength. I’m going to show you mercy and let you off this once, let your little friends know that I’M not the one to be messed around that. Ok mutt?” It didn’t answered, it only stared at me with fear.
”OK MUTT?” I yelled at it then smacked his own limbs at his face making him ooze green tree sap from his jaw. It weakly nodded. I threw its limbs down in front of it and walk away. I hear the limbs reattaching to his body and it walk off whimpering.
I can see the village more clearly since I’m out of the dark forest. I start walking towards the village and pass the cottage. I smelled every type of animal there was to smell and a little pinch of sweetness. Odd? I decide to not think of it anymore and continue with my journey. Now I’m close enough to see the residents of the village, they are . . . Colored ponies? They seem to be sentient for ponies due to their living arrangements and participation in human activities. I enter the village and get curious/scared stares from all the ponies. I do understand, a six foot tall anthropomorphic wolf nearly twice your size is in your town and he doesn’t have a mouth. Anyways I’m walking minding my own business and these three small ponies come up to me. An orange Pegasus, a white unicorn and a regular yellowish pony each with markings in their flanks.
“Hello mister, Ah never seen you before. What are you, what’s your name and what’s on your chest?” Said a yellowish pony with orange eyes and a dark pink bow tie on her head. It wouldn’t hurt to tell this kid any secrets about myself, besides I’m probably not on earth and that she and her friends are as cute as puppies. Ironic? Cuteness OVERLOAD!
“Hello child, I’m a foreigner. I am white anthropomorphic wolf, my name is Reach and this is the Inhibitor for my powers.” I said while pointing at the Inhibitor for the last part.
“What are your names?” I questioned.
They all gained smirks.
“I’m Scootaloo.” Said the orange Pegasus while jumping in the air and buzzing her small wings to slow the landing.
“Mah names Apple bloom.” Said the yellowish pony while bucking into the air.
“My names Sweetie Belle.” Said the white unicorn then stood on her hind legs and moved her front hooves in a doggy paddle before plopping back onto the ground. Soon the three got next to each other and yelled.
“AND WE ARE THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!” By this point my ears were ringing but the ringing subsided as fast as it came. Fortunately my healing factor came in use.
“What kind of powers do you have??” Asked Scootaloo.
“Let me demonstrate.” I leap into the air and hover, making the three fillies gasp in surprise. I raise my hand and charge an ball of electricity. Soon I let loose and fire an endless lightning bolt. This caught the attention of probably the whole town. First of all I put a lot of concentration into the blast to make it ’super’, making it standout from natural lighting bolts. First of all, mine was a lot thicker and would only stop firing once I stopped concentrating. I stopped concentrating and looked at the duo. They all had shocked and amazed expressions plastered on their faces. If I am to stay here, I need to learn about this place first of all. I flew down but didn’t touch the ground, I just hovered inches above the grass.
“So children, do any of you know where a library is at?” The white unicorn pointed at what looked like a giant crystal tree without leaves grasping a castle with it large crystal branches. It seemed to be very far away but I can manage, though I raised my brow at the design. How? I know I’m a hypocrite but come on! What’s this?
“Thanks, I’ll be on my way.” I dropped to the ground and walked. As I walk to the supposed library, I met an yellow pegasus pony. His hair is brown with a light brown streak on If and is combed to his left side, he has blue eyes and is wearing a brown scarf. He had a microphone on the side of his flank. He was just following out of curiosity I guess but I didn’t mind. This would be a long walk, and I didn’t feel like alerting more ponies as I already did. Now thinking about my predicament, It greatly saddens me that I’ll never see Shara again. I knew I was never her son but she felt motherly to me. There was this one song Shara would listen to and I remember it so clearly.
https://youtu.be/h297vLkHijQ
Reach: Making my way downtown walking fast
Faces pass and I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
Soon the male pony joined me in the song.
Male pony: And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
Reach and Male pony: If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
Male pony: It's always times like these when I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
Reach: 'Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong
Living in your precious memories
Male pony: 'Cause I'll need you
And I'll miss you
And now I wonder
Reach and male pony: If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
Reach and Male Pony: And I, I don't want to let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't want to let this go
I, I don't
Male pony: Making my way downtown walking fast
Faces pass and I'm home bound
Reach: Staring blankly ahead just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
Male pony: And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
Reach: If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Reach and the Male Pony: If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, if I could just hold you tonight.
That was . . . Nice? The pony walked off and I was standing in front of a gold flight of stairs leading to golden doors. Pretty good show if I say so myself. Soon ponies were loudly clapping-clopping-hoofing? Whatev’s, I’m being praised either way. After hoofing, they left, leaving it empty. I quickly went up the stairs and knocked rapidly on the door. Minutes passed and I got bored, so I had infront of the door. FINALLY! The door opened, revealing what I assumed to be some kind of small dragon.
“Hello. I heard this is a library.” The Dragon got a puzzled expression along with a tilted head.
“Ummm . . . No this isn’t a library, it’s Twilight Sparkle’s Castle But it does have a public library.”
“May I go inside the library?” I asked.
“Sure! We never get visitors because they feel intimidated with Twilights presence since she is the princess of friendship.” The dragon held the huge door for me to walk in. As I entered the castle, I was amazed. The hall was huge, decorated with fancy windows. Spike opened a door, showing a HUGE collection of books.
“So what’s your name and why don’t you have a mouth?” The small dragon asked.
“My name’s Reach and I don’t have a digestive system so I use a process similar to photosynthesis.” The dragon looked confused but nodded in a understanding manner.
“Well my name is Spike and I’m Princess Twilight Sparkle’s Number One Assistant.” Soon an owl landed on his head and hooted.
“Me.”
“Who?”
“Me!”
“Who?”
“ME!”
Silence was present as not a simple thing moved. Time seemed to focus on the owl, waiting for its next action for it to either be mauled by an angry baby dragon or live happily ever after.
“Who?” Hooted the owl.
Spike just inhaled deeply and exhaled then looked at me, relaxed.
“What type of books would you like to read?” Spiked asked. I put my hand on my chin in thought.
“Preferably one about this worlds geography and about this nation?” Spike nodded and ran towards a tall wooden ladder. While he was climbing the ladder, feminine voices caught my attention. I turned around and saw two ponies. A tall dark orchid colored pony with moderate rose mane and tail with lighter shades and moderate opal colored eyes, broken horn and a tight black body suit. A shorter pony with a pale light, grayish heliotrope coat with Moderate purple with lighter purple and pale light, grayish aquamarine highlights mane and tail, and Moderate persian blue eyes.
“Hello mister how may I help you?” Asked the shorter pony.
“Oh don’t worry, spike has already taking care of that.” I said while looking back just to see spike fall off the ladder with two large books nearly his own size. With quick thinking, I shot my arms forward and grasped him in my telekinetic aura. His eyes were shut closed, with him folding his limbs close to his side. He slowly opens his eyes, realizing he has hit the floor. His gaze travels to me and turns into amazement and shock along with the other two ponies.
“A non-unicorn preforming magic plus a new species of canine discovered? Twilight will freak out about this discovery!” The shorter pony says while the taller one only chuckles at the thought of said Twilight freaking out over me. I set spike down next to me and grab the books.
“How did you do that? That was so AWSOME!” Spike yelled in excitement. I got a lot of explaining to do.
“Let’s sit down at a table and I’ll explain everything.” We all go to a nearby table and sit in our own seats.
“Time for introductions. My name’s Reach and I’m an anthropomorphic wolf.” The shorter pony speaks up next.
“My names is Starlight Glimmer and I’m Princess Twilights student.” The taller pony speaks up.
“I’m Fizzlepop Berrytwist but call me Fizzle.”
Now the part where I explain. “I’m the ultimate weapon and here’s why.”
