A voice rang through a metal hallway as it spoke to an unknown creature. Its voice sounding like grinding metal and flesh as its mouth opened and closed sound of flesh shifting could be heard. It was massive as it had multiple tentacles coming from its body. As it spoke to the Creature in front of it.
"You see not what I have.....foreseen. It is filled with the same metal and smoke as the time before." the creatures voice spoke deep and with the sound of grinding metal and flesh shift as its mouth opened and closed. "I have lived time and time again only to see a world's destruction and then, I am birthed again. To watch over the ashes that spread new life only for me to take it." it finished as the mouth was the only feature on its head as it opened like a flower as a row of Sharpe jagged yellow teeth could be see as the flaps of its mouth stayed open as he talked.
"Yet here I am talking to you. Why did you bring me here? I know it was not because you were lonely. So, why?" the creature asked.
"I know of your abilities, your ability to copy anything and anyone that you see." the giant said as he brought the creature closer to him.
"First off I would have to kill them second of all its a lot more complicated than that." he said as his static sounding voice was heard.
"and what might that be?" the giant said.
"For one, I would have to kill them and then gut them like and animal and then skin them. Only thing that would be left would be the skeleton." he said to the giant as their conversation continued.
"I brought you here because I felt a presence that only one being can create that much power." The giant said as he put the creature down. He noticed that it resembled a bipedal creature from the old ages, but he had his left leg replaced with a metal one that resembled a wolfs back leg and his right arm was replaced a a multipurposed cybernetic that ended in a claw more than a hand.
"I have sat here listening and waiting, with patience, I have listened through the metals in which populate this world. It is not ready for what's coming its way and, it will never be ready.
Ponyville
Shadowfall looked around at the ruins of the town full well knowing that he would be blamed for it. He heard someone crying for a doctor under normal circumstances he would just ignore it, but this world had no power over him so he was a free drake, kind of. He walked though the town some of its citizens looked at him in fear knowing that he was dangerous and he was still glad he had that affect on even these ponies. He saw that a group of pony medics were trying to get off a piece of wood that was stabbed into a stallion's leg. He had heard what he was about to do was forbidden in this world like his home world, but he would have to do it. He pushed everypony asides and saw the damage. a brought up his foreleg and made a ball of dark magic appear in it. and crushed it making a blade appear in his paw that had purple flames coming off of it. He raised it up the stallion freaking out and then shadowfall Swung cutting a part of the wood off and and only left the stub.
"This is going to hurt. A lot." Shadowfall said as he ripped out the rest making the stallion scream in agony. He made another orb of dark magic appear as he pressed it up against the hole in his leg as the blood and the hole started to disappear from sight until on a scar was left in its place. Everypony jaws were agape at the sight of what he just did. He turned and walked away when he heard the sound of hooves behind him he heard the voice of twilight.
"How did you do that? What magic did you use? How d....." she was haulted by Shadowfall with two words that scared her.
"Dark magic." he said as he walked away from the scene and walked through the town. He came to stop in the middle of the square next to a water fountain. He looked into the water at his reflection as he thought back then when everything was simpler, before the end of everything.
???
Shadowfall sat on a roof top overlooking the city. As he saw the volcano, well what was left of it, he thought of how he had lost everything. He kept looking at it until an explosion caught his ears. He quickly pushed the side of his helmet and the armor would form around his chest and back as he jumped from roof to roof. He came to a stop at the source and sat there getting low to the ground as he watched and waited. Until a machine he thought would never be activated came from the smoke.
"Omega-15, Online systems functioning at 100%" the Omega said as he looked at it. The multiple eyes soon locked on him.
"Unauthorized unit detected. Project code name: Reaper. Protocol 7 g q 1 1 7 a f z. Initialized." The Omega said as One of its cannons started glowing as it fire the bolt just barely missing him as he jumped off the roof to the ground. He got in a defensive stance.
"Unit 3 7 7 8 9 4 x e, your are to be terminated for abandonment of fellow troops and treason. Judgement: Termination ". The Omega said as its machine guns opened fire at him in which he ducked behind a piece of rubble that had landed near him and big enough to give him covering fire.
He jumped out pulling out his SMRL(shoulder mounted rocket launcher), and fired hitting it square in the chest making it fall backwards not moving. He got up thinking he had won until the ground started to shake and the Omega stood up although upside down it rotated all the way around to face him moved itself so that it would be right side up. As it yet again opened fire upon him. He never knew how to beat these things only how to knock them down. Until he noticed that its coolant vents opened up to let steam out. he took the chance and fire at it and it seemed to do the trick. As it was more sluggish and slower than it was. It opened again and he fired again and it finally went down as it sputtered and then exploded. As the smoke cleared he walked over to it and found something that caught his eye. A red glowing sphere was in the main CPU port where the central computer was. He pulled it out and then red lines started to surround him.
"WARNING, WARNING, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS DETECTED. ACCESS DENIED. REROUTING ALL MAIN FUNCTIONS." The voice said until it let out a couple of sparks and self destructed.
He thought of how it all began with that final sentence he would reveal why he could never use magic to all of the city. He could use dark magic and it was a forbidden magic. He would just have to wait and see what came next for him. He needed time to think so he went to the only place he could think of. He noticed that his chest plate was still on and pushed the side of his head and his helmet formed. He was going to take off into the sky, but remembered about his missing appendage. So, he opted just to walk the way over to his little home away from home.
