Stargate: Harmony

Though he didn’t enjoy the pain of having his cybernetics implanted, he couldn’t argue that they did not work, in fact, they worked even better than intended. Just last year he was given a chance to finally be able to use his magic without having to resort to painful guidance and agonizingly slow response. The plan was he would stay in Canterlot for a year and be trained by Princess Celestia herself to help him gain control of his magic, unfortunately, he had to be taught in a different way as his mana would gather too much and cause the spell to either fizzle or sometimes violently discharge. As far as Celestia knew, only her and her sister had to be taught in this special training, but that was due to them being alicorns, not because their magic was unpredictable and highly unstable. That little tidbit had given him a queasy feeling inside, and to top it off when she took a sample of his blood they found that it contained a living, liquid version of the same material the stargate was made of, and it was feeding off his energy and multiplying like crazy, on top of that, the organism accelerated it’s multiplying tenfold when near an active stargate, leaving him with excruciating pain in his back and muscles the longer he is near one. To numb the pain, Plasma Stream was given a series of cybernetic replacements in his body to administer stimulants and painkillers when he goes on his first off-world mission, and upon her personal request, was given a multitude of other implants with which to further enhance his body or hide a useful, but compact, tool, hence the Cybernetic Stargate program began. The first few enhancements were centered in and on his head, replacing his normal eyes with 360 degree sensors able to translate their data into optical, thermal, electromagnetic, and ultraviolet light, but due to the unsettling appearance of having no eyes, they added in an eyeball-like scanner to replace his left eye and replaced his right one with a similar-looking cutting beam. His arm and leg muscles were replaced with synthetic derivatives, hydraulic jacks and electrical servos, which brought on the need for stronger materials to replace his bones. For this, they replaced his entire bone structure with a titanide-diamond composite reinforced with a titanium brace and had a core of moonstone, aka mythril. His index and middle fingers were hollowed out to make room for a canister of high-explosive aerosol held under extremely high pressure, his ring fingers were equipped with tiny cutting/welding torches and his pinkie fingers had small emergency charges in them in case his main power source was brought offline. At this moment, he was practicing some of the more advanced spells Celestia had taught him, while using the tricks he had learned himself and gained through careful attention to Celestia’s teachings, one of them was to limit how much mana he used in spells. This allowed him to figure out how much magic he would use in the spell and portion it out in spoonfulls, the downside is that he has to use a special draining spell to keep his mana kept within his body every two weeks, otherwise it has some extremely unsettling and destructive side effects. As a thanks to his effort, he managed to temper his body to be able to withhold it’s mana for another two weeks. Months felt like weeks, weeks felt like days, he was growing more and more patient each day thanks to his self-training in meditation and puzzles that require a patient, scrutinizing gaze to complete, however his excitement was slowly undoing the careful training. This excitement stems from going on his first off-world mission, which also happened to be the day the first Equestrian Stargate Team would be sent through, and by soon it would be tomorrow. Also coming through the gate with him are twins Mecha and Slugga, See Four, Deadshot, Boom Stick, and Twilight Sparkle, the first five augmented in their respective fields. With the big day in his head, he stopped for the night, undressed and clambered into bed for some sleep…
