The Everfree Forest…

       Luna couldn't believe how light Brad actually was, she thought that Brad will be heavier than this but yet she can still fly effortlessly. So effortlessly in fact that she didn't even realized that Brad's unconscious body had slipped and fell back onto the forest ground.

Meanwhile, at Fluttershy's house…

       Fluttershy is preparing dinner for her animal friends, "come on now Angel" she calmly said to a bunny, "its good for you". The bunny pushes his food away. "Please, just only a little" Fluttershy asked. Then Fluttershy hears a knock on the door and gasps. She is not used to having visitors at night. "W-who is it" Fluttershy called shyly. "Fluttershy, its me, Luna" Luna answered, "I have something that is injured". Fluttershy, who loves animals, busts open the door to see what animal Luna had brought her. "Luna, where is it, I don't see it" Fluttershy asked, confused. "He is on my back" Luna answered. Luna looks back and gasps, "wh-where did he go?!". Luna looked everywhere, but could not find Brad. "Fluttershy follow me, I think he fell off back in the Everfree Forest". "No, I'm not going there even during the night" Fluttershy said, scared. "Fluttershy" Luna said calmly, "you wont be alone, I'll be there". "Oh yea, sorry I forgot" Fluttershy said.

Back in the Everfree Forest…

        Luna leads the way with Fluttershy next to her. It wasn't long before they found Brad laying on his back with a sword piercing his cheast; a blood pool had formed around him. "WARNING, LIFE DEADLINED, SHUTTING DOWN" the female robotic voice said through the watch. "N-no…" Luna said, "we're too late". Tears formed as an unknown feeling of grief grips Luna's heart; why is she feeling this, it was like Brad was close to her yet she nearly knows him. Controlled by grief, Luna dips her head, her horn just inches away from Brad. Just then, a red bolt had sparked from Brad to Luna's horn. Luna jumps back in alarm, "what was that!". Luna looked around just as she hears something in her head, "awake, we are at full power" the voice said. "No…" another voice responded, "if I let you awake, it will be the end of life itself". Luna is frightened by the voices, they sounded just like Brad's! "Stop! That body is ours" someone shouted. A group of people appeared carrying swords. "Who are you?!" shouted Luna. Fluttershy hides behind Luna as two men came up behind them and held swords to their necks. "Hmm…" said the leader of the group, pulling his sword out of Brad, "too bad his friend, Kiba isn't here, guess these two will have to do for now". Then a navy blue aura, similar to Luna's surrounds. Brad's body, lifting him off the ground. Red lightning began covering his body. Everyone stopped and looked as Brad's body sprouts black wings. Again, Luna hears the voices in her head, "this is great! That pony had enough magic to sustain the connection between us, now we can easily kill these pathetic life forms who thought that they can kill us!". Brad's body lands on the ground feet first. "L-Luna…" Fluttershy said nervously. Brad's eyes snaps open. Two glowing yellow eyes looking at them, "Hellow cybonic freaks, now tell me, which one of you wants to die first". The group lunges at Brad, stabbing him with their swords, blood spraying everywhere. But the wounds healed themselves, Brad only smiles, "my turn". Brad throws his fist straight through one them as he slashes at another one with his blade. The two fell into a mess of blood and grease as Brad turns and looks at the rest of the group, "anyone else?". Brad's cybonic claw finally extends back over his left arm, "looks like you will have no chance now" Brad said with an evil smile. Brad the grabs the closest cyborg with his claw and crushes it's head, blood and oil sprays from the crushed skull. The rest of the group circles him. Brad glowed navy blue as he summons flames around the group. Luna watches as Brad kills the rest by burning them. Brad then turns and face the two who is still holding swords to Luna and Fluttershy's necks, "now, I advise you to let them go". The two dropped their swords and ran. They didn't go far before a cybonic claw slashed at them, ending their lives. Brad looked at Luna and saw what he had done. His eyes turned back to brown as the wings dissapeared back into his body, "I'm...I'm sorry, I couldn't stop". Luna walked up to Brad and placed a hoof on him, "I'm glad you are ok". "I couldn't stop..." Brad repeated, "is this what that serum did, turn me into a monster?!". "Its ok" Luna said, trying to calm Brad as a mother calms a scared child, "I'm here". Brad looks at Luna. Luna smiles, "see, I wont let you become one". Hearing this made Brad smile, "thanks, but what was that?!". "I don't know" answered Luna, "but we will help you control it". "What do you mean about we?" Brad asked, confused. Luna moves aside to reveal Fluttershy, "Brad, this is Fluttershy". "N-nice to m-meet you" Fluttershy said, shyly. "Nice to meet you too Fluttershy" Brad responded. "Who were those people?" Luna asked. "Cyborgs, one of the main reasons why we humans are here; there is this delusioned scientist that goes by, The End. His plan is to destroy Equestria because we were forced to leave long ago". "Now what" Luna asked. "The only thing we humans can do" Brad responded, "which is to rejoin Equestria and protect it". The sun begins to rise. "Brad!" Luna said, "I have to get you to the castle". Brad looks a Luna, "no, not again". Luna laughs, "what?!...race you there". Brad looks at Fluttershy, "I guess I'll be seeing you later then". "Oh, ok then" responded Fluttershy. Luna takes off, "oh, no you don't" Brad said running after her.

Military Resistance Base...

     "Did you see that Jake?!" Kiba yelled, "it looked like a blood red thunder storm in the middle of the Everfree Forest. "That must be Brad awakening his full power" Jake responded, "in order for the serum to work, you must establish a so-called connection with an alicorn, that's why we are placing you to be Princess Celestia's guard while Brad is Princess Luna's". "Then I'm guessing Princess Luna has found Brad" Kiba said. "It appears so" Jake responded, "he can only be connected to Princess Luna to use his power, she has to stay near him, not only for Brad's power but for their protection as well".
