Barb awoke to the smell of burning flesh as she held her nose from the awful smell she got up from her bed (most likely Adam put her there when they got back). She looked up to see the machine taking his 'brother' apart and burning the skin of the other, she got off her bed and stretched hearing her bones pop as she got up. She then walked over to Adam and placed her head on his shoulder.

"Whatca doing?" She asked as the machine took apart the skull and crushed the CPU in his hands before throwing its remains into the fire pit next to him.

"Taking apart my 'brother' for spare parts," She gave a approved look as she got up and walked over though the armory of a home to the fridge and opened it getting milk for her lucky gems.

"So what happens next we go for Starlight's coltfriend?" She asked.

"Not yet we must plan a good strategy before termination of-" He was stopped when Barb went over him and held out a spoon full of lucky gems.

"Shut up and eat up big guy,"

He looked at the spoon then to the dragonness.

"You do remember I do not require food for-" He was stopped when she shoved the spoon in his mouth, he then chewed the food as she took the spoon out before he glupped.

"That wasn't necessary barb," The dragonness laughed.

"I know but its so funny," She giggled.

"For the 132 time no it isn't," The machine stated before returning to his parts.

She just smiled at the machine as she ate her food as she watched her protector work but he stopped before speaking up.

"Oh I have something for you Barb," He went do and pulled out a small box.

She raised her eye brow it wasn't her birthday yet...oh yeah...its today isn't it. Ever since she was under his protection they gave each other gifts for her 'death' day which was the day she faked her own death.

She was 9 years dead now.

Taking the gift she opened it as she smiled seeing a neckless, one made of the countless bullet casing she had collected over the years as she hugged the 'heartless' machine.

"Thanks Adam its great you remembered. I have yours somewhere around her," She placed her cereal down and gift as she walked over to her bed and lifted it and pulled out her own gift to the terminator and handed it to him.

He took it as he pulled the string on the gift as he opened the present.

"Since your last pair broke I decide you need a new pair," The machine then 'smiled' to her causing her to laugh at the machine's scary but funny smile.

"Thank you Barb," He then pulled out the pair of new sunglasses and placed them on his face completing his outfit.

Barb then placed the neckless around her neck as she took to her bowl and ate as she kept watching him work on the parts.

Twilight was crying...

Today was the day when her number 1# assistance died on that awful explosion, and after that every day of her death she threw a morning party to pay respect to barb.

Many come year around to pay there respects, many of them where those who were heavily effected by barb the most such as-

The crystal empire,

Shining and Cadance,

Starlight,

The princesses,

The main six,

Many ponies of ponyville,

The student six,

Ember,

Grudge,

and many more.

The morning parties where always packed as many have come to the party, But the most to take the death the hardest was twilight who for the whole week would more over the death. Over the years it only got worse and worse so much that her mentors had to take over for her when she cried in her room.

All dressed in a dark purple that matched Barbs scales.

Twilight was standing in front of picture of the one she treated as her own sister tears came down from her eyes as Ember walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You alright Twilight?" The lord of dragons ask.

She nodded looking at the dragon lord whipping away the tears.

"Yes I am Ember its gotten better over the years," She lied and ember knew it as well.

She huffed as she crossed her arms.

"Twilight you know you hate to here this even when it comes from me but you-" Twilight stopped her.

"NO...I just can't...please Ember," The blue dragon nodded and walked from the pony to her sister who was done talking with her classmates.

"Still taking it pretty hard huh?" Smolder said as her sister nodded.

"Yeah still does-" Just then the blood gem buzzed causing Ember to cruse as she hit the staff.

Smolder looked at her sister fighting with the staff.

"Still thinks Barb is alive huh?" She asked drinking the punch.

"Yeah the thing is dumb when today comes around," She then hit it on the table as the gem stopped glowing causing her to smile. "There we go fixed,"

Her sister nodded in approval but the thing hummed once again this time brighter than before.

"Damn it again!" Ember hissed trying to get the thing to stop but this time it wasn't beeping it was just giving a low glow which surprised her.

The Gem would only glow when the dragon that she was thinking about was near by but she was thinking about Barb, she rolled her eyes again and hit it on the table as the glowing stopped.

"There better-" It began to glow again.

"Gods dammit,"

Barb felt a chill crawl down her spine as she looked up from her weapon that she was cleaning.

"Whoa someone step on my grave," She spoke aloud.

"Who?" Adam asked not looking from his rosemary shotgun as he replaced the leveler from where his 'brother' hit him.

"Hahaha Adam you know what I meant," She turned back to her gun as she worked on the heavy spring but then there was a knock on the door.

"*sigh* Adam can you get that?" She asked.

The terminator raised his head.

"I wasn't expecting any one today where you?" The machine asked.

Barb stopped what she was doing and turned to Adam who was looking at her.

"No,"

The two then went for there backup weapons, barb's was a pair of custom 1911 pistol that where made to be easier to hold, Adam held a scar and walked over to the door and opening the eyepiece. He then turned to Barb before he motioned for her to get down she nodded as she did and got behind her desk with her weapons at the read.

(with adam)

As Adam signaled his close friend he turned to the door and unlocked they many locks and moved the bar from the door, he opened the door as the chains were still on it letting him see dragon lord Ember.

"Can I help you," Adam spoke in a cold tone.

"Yeah I was wandering-" Adam then spoke shutting the door.

"Not interested," He then locked the door again before the dragoness began to knock again.

"HEY BUDDY YOU DIDN'T HEAR WHAT I HAD TO SAY!" Ember said pounding on the door as Barb moved from her cover.

She then mouthed words only Adam would understand.

'Is that Ember'

He nodded as Barb sighed.

She knew the rules...no one must know she was still alive unless she wanted blueblood on her tail again and trying to capture her. That's right the assassins from before where hired by blueblood so he could use her as black mail twilight into marrying him for power. Adam told her in the alternate future he did just that and became one of the reason skynet rose to power and the first nuclear megaspell was invented.

To the world Barb sparkle was dead for a good reason and Barb Spike was just a sniper that worked with Adam on private jobs that targeted those connect to skynet 2.0. Though her life at first need to getting us to Adam was there when she first killed another living person, and comforted her on it was for the greater good. That even meet no taking to others that was once her family such as Twilight and Ember.

"HEY PAL OPEN THIS DOOR OR I'M GOING TO BREAK IT DOWN!" Adam didn't flinch as he barred the door as walked away knowing the door could handle more that the dragon lord can give.

Barb holester her guns as she grabbed her headphones and played her IPONY to cancel out Ember screams as 'Sweet dreams' began to play as she sung to the lyrics.

Another death day...
