Steel and Flesh (Edited)

Perspective: Celestia
I was worried about my guards when they had not returned sooner than they stated. When I got the news some griffons were carrying them in, I was quick to intercept. Now, I stood in front of a group of griffons, who were injured, carrying injured guard and one incapacitated Ancient Dig. I interrogated the griffon unit and they began talking about, what I could make out as a human. It fought in a manner I recognized immediately, violence. I remember their harsh ways of enslaving and tormenting my subjects for not converting to their faith and religion. Finding this human may prove troublesome as its fighting method, which can only be achieved magically, was not magical. I wanted to say my opinion as a small sword tuning into a halberd can only be achieved by magic. There is no other explanation, yet that human made it grow through other means. Darker magic may play a hand in this but I need to tend to my subjects. "You griffons will be interrogated for the assault of my guard and Ms. Dig."

"What!" The female griffon screamed at me. "We get our becks handed to us and you want to imprison us?"

"It doesn't matter what transpired when the creature broke out. What matters is that you planned the attack and assaulted my subjects." I looked to one of my guard. "Detain them for later, I need some time to think." The guard saluted as I walked to my room and onto the balcony, deep in pondering thought. This human used what can only be described or understood as dark magic, forbidden spells that were banned for the safety of the ponies. Some try to use it and were warned of the danger, but it didn't matter to them and they had to be imprisoned or worse.

Now a human is here, having eluded my search teams for untold centuries only to resurface, as violent as the rest of its kind. If not contained, this human could bring destruction to Equestria, and not even Discord may be ready for this violent a beast much less know exactly what tricks it may be hiding away. What's worse, if it teams up with Equestria's enemies then all of my little ponies will be a its feet. To make matters worse, what if it can use its magic anywhere then nowhere is safe.

My pondering was interrupted by my door being struck, catching my attention. "Come in." The door opens as my guard steps in.

"Princess, you need to rest for now. These last few days have been stressful on your mind." She inquired.

"I can not rest until I find that creature and bring it to justice." I state strongly.

"It has yet to commit a crime and Ms. Dig had informed us, and I do mean us, that it came from a pod that kept it frozen." She said ignorantly.

"I don't have time for a back and forth argument Night Gale." I heard my door close as I was still deep in thought. I could only hope the human would remain weak.

Perspective: Human
This world has turned time greatly. Reminds me of the episode of Justice League where superman is flung into the future by Toy Man. The air around me is tame yet stale and the ground is overly treated. I'll need some insects to start rebuilding my strength. My machines may have made me like Naraku just after being made from Onigumo, hopefully without any issues. I look down to see a spider with legs positioned more longitudinally than latitudinal. A variation of the Huntsman breed. I quickly grab it as my flesh is contorted and goes to work, absorbing and analyzing the spider to breakdown its body for its natural aptitude of reflex. After the processing was finished I began moving again, with less stiffness as my legs felt more awake and stronger.

The sword would have to go eventually as my machines were almost drained from being in the pod for far longer than predicted and the ones used would not hold for long. Using what power they did have left, I configured my cells to process organic material, inorganic matter organically and energy, simply the power to Absorb. Soon after I placed the blade on my back after letting out an adhesive fluid on the right shoulder blade. The machines were close to dead or inert, and with no immediate iron particles they may wither away to nothing. I need iron and they only thing that has it is the sword, my only means of readily available offense. I left the blade be as the machines died out entirely, with my cells unable to produce new ones, thought, by definition, I'm still an Orgamech of my own.

I looked up to see that dawn was fast approaching and saw a small town with houses built at different altitudes. Some of the residents came out and I saw they resembled the same avians from earlier with different biological fusions. They were griffons for sure but there were so many types I missed some of them returning my curious stare. One came down to greet me and was definitely a female. Her mix appeared to be that of a Falcon and a Tiger, having a slim and built figure with a bit of chest and nice hips.

"What are you staring at?" She screamed, almost calling me a pervert, not that I'm insulted nor complaining.

"Sorry." I apologized. "A bit new here." I looked around, planning for my question. "Could you mayhaps tell me where I am?"

She looked taken aback. "You're in Smokey Ridge, one of the Griffon towns in Equestria's borders." Those names set me in thought. Either the capsule was transported through space, or so much time passed that new life was made in humanities eventual absence. "Terra to monkey face." She brought me out of my thought. "Quit staring into space like that. You look.... weird." I knew she wanted to say something different. It was in her tone though her pride and possibly her image held her back. "Anyway, if you're looking for Ponyville," punny name, "it's that way." She pointed a direction in which there was a thick forest that felt as alive as home. "But you need to head-" I started walking directly to the forest. "Hey! That forest is one of the worst places to go. It contains many of Equestria's most feral creatures."

I turned back to her and her plumage increased slightly. "Then I should feel right at home for beasts like myself have no place among more peaceful creatures." I started walking again toward the forest, a smile on my face as it felt like home before the griffon got in my face again.

"Wait!" She had her arms out with her feathers looking slightly fluffed. "Don't you want anything to eat?"

"I require nothing to eat now." I tried to walk but she stopped me again.

"Please. I insist." I looked at her with a straight face before giving in.

"Curse my kind heart."

"Yes!" She led me to one of the houses but she looked embarrassed as there was no ladder. Not an issue since I erected adhesive barbs on my fingers to pull me up. Thankfully the spiders leg strength came to good use as I reached the house, but not without the griffon flashing her turkey ass along the way. She was most certainly flirting with me.

'This is going to be a long stay if I let her have any say.'
