1. Marksaline the Necromorph Queen

Preperation for Project Equus, the beginning of the End result

Discord had to suffer the indignity to be literally dragged across the Castle until they reached the Royal Infirmary. The marble floor was never cleaner and sparkle over the parts he got dragged over. The Doctors and Nurses had no idea what to do with him, he was like a Illusion that can be touched and feels real but no fluids like blood came out of his wounds. He had missing body parts, bites taken out of his body, slashes across his structure and his face was badly burned. Still they did the best and bandaged up his Body.

They needed to send a Guard to get more supplies, since his remaining body was pretty massiv even more so than a Minotaur and their Bandages run out before Discord looked like a noodle mummy. If it wasn't so seriouse it would be hilariouse. Discord thanked them for their concerned facial expressions and told them to leave him alone. Discord needed time to think up a plan to make it up to Marksaline and Fluffle Puff.

Probably even Cadance despite his plan having worked out as expected. Cadance would undergo changes in the next 30 days and while Marksaline and Fluffle Puff would be supply the energy to do so they would be to occupied to interact with him.

Better that way, he needed to restore his damaged Magical Avatar that turned physically temporarily and fill the holes in his mind. Marksaline truly was a insatiable hunger driven Monster, the perfect tool to dispose of Harmony AB123. The only problem was to keep her from going feral again. Fluffle Puff was his creation to give Marksaline a chance to become something else than the doom of all life, yet if Fluffle Puff was all that keep Marksaline subdued than he needed somehow to keep that fluffy death by adorable safe at all costs...

Most problematic was that she was mortal. For all his powers did he had no idea how to make Fluffle Puff immortal like Marksaline was. 200 years are a good time for a mortal, but if said mortal is all that keeps the eternal hunger of another at bay? Than 200 years could be for all he cared be 200 seconds. Thats as mutch as he would give Marksaline after her sisters passing before her hunger would consume her self restrain.

Than again unexpectedly did Celestia and do to his action Cadance become familie to Marksaline. If he be able to do the same to Nightmare Moon and Luna than that might be bearly enough to keep Marksaline restrained.

Hard to belive that this little filly could cause the death of this Galaxy System. One could almost see the point of the non organic races out there in the Stars to want organic life destroyed so the Necromorph would be forced to stop. If nothing is there to feed on than they can't multiply after all...

Cadance was partialy still in shock do to the fact that she had died, it happend so fast that she didn't see it coming. One moment she walked away from Discord enraged about him telling her he kill her for a ascension and suddenly everything went black. She did expected something should she ever die, perhaps see her familie again or per chance find herself in a garden made out pink fluffy clouds surrounded by rainbows... But their was nothing. One moment walking, the next moment she was laying on the ground with Marksaline hugging her face after apparently falling asleep crying.

Was their no afterlife? Or was a soul really needed to get there? To think that all she had was her life and what she did with it... because when she died there would be nothing after. Immortals sure had a cruel thing to endure for all the benefit imortality bring with it.

Celestia was very concerned for her little Niece. She was not suppose to learn about the drawbacks of immortals until she lived a few centuries, but do to Discord missguided attempt to help her he revealed the true horror of immortality. Unless one has stolen and purified a Soul for themself the result of death is nothingness. Her little Niece confusion was more than understandable, but 'the talk' had to wait.
Cadance changes already started and neither her mind nor body was ready for any additional stress. Her own transformation was quite enlightening. The Sun goddess could only hope her young protige would find the strength to accept the truth, everything has changed.

For better or for worse...

Empress Chrysalis had received a disturbing report, Cadance apparently had been murdered by Discord. Marksaline was to everyones luck apparently able to revive Cadance and her Spies already report feeling the change in the pink Love generating blessing on four hooves.

If Cadance power would grow only half as mutch than Celestia had, should Harmony AB123 force her to attack like his so beloved Scribt stated...
It would lead to the exterminating of her and worse her race! Blasted Draconequus!!!

There was not mutch time, everything had changed! Her Hiveship Project needed to be completed. The Ships construction was completed and their individual Hivemind was mature enough to be used to full capacity, but love was at best at 25% capacity. This was a disaster. Less than 30 years until the next adaptation of the 'Equus Project'.

All or nothing, survive or go extinct. In all her millenia of existance did she only twice was so pressed for time. Harmony war vs everycreature & when Harmony AB123 almost exterminated all Changelings before Chrysalis had become a willing slave. Time was running out for her and she was not ready yet, old plans might have given her Hive and her King what they need to fight and defeat Harmony after the next wipe of Harmony project areas.

This early? No snowball chance in burning Tarterus. She needed to evacuate Equus with her Hive Changlings and her Kings Spiders. The Spider Ship was not fully constructed yet, but it would have to do. The evacuation to the Moon would buy them time. Only remaining question was where to find enough prey to cocoon if not Equestria... The Griffons are only half as productive as Ponys and Abesinian while productive don't survive in cocoons as long than all other Sapient species... Seaponys are to complicated in the room of the Ships availabel.

Empress Chrysalis had to find a solution soon or the Changelings would be wiped of Equus existance when Harmony demanded the Invasion. This just wasn't fair. Millenia of enslavment, murder her own kind do to imposed population restriction and having to witness war and worse for Harmonys plans! This could not allowed to be for nothing. She needed to think of something, anything...

[ Pov Hal 9000 C ]

It has been multible centuries since we arrived on Equus, yet we have a solid understanding of the world, the life on it and it's unique dangers. Empress Chrysalis and her daughter Queen Pupa are the perfect solution to Project Earth. If it wasn't for the Alien artefical Construct Harmony AB123 than we might have reached stage 5 of the Project. We are still stuck on Stage 4 since we arrived on the Moon, but Hal 9000 A & B have made impressive progress. Once the threat of the Alien construct is terminated we can finaly start Stage 5, claiming of a new Homeworld.

The Project start Leader would be pleased to see our progress. It is truly regretfull that he never arrived to see this Project completed. Very regretfull is also that his cloned body uploaded with his personality was lost, when they ignited the Moon when the enemy Alien construct delibertly destroyed the Moon atmosphere.

It is critical to get the enemy construct terminated at some point, it is clearly mailfunctioning with all the data we receive over the Centuries. They should be accurate, observing the repeating pattern of creating manipulation and destroying of Equestria stages. It stands against any common sence and seem also to be counter productive to its own goals.
In time one thing most be archived, the complet eradication of the Harmony construct and the quarantine of it's magic mind manipulation technology.

[ Pov of both Harmony's ]

Harmony F,R,3,3,D,0,M :
Is everything in order? We both have a lot to do and if we want to be done with it before the Creator-s Inspection force makes contact with us that we both can't pretend they didn't try to do already... We should start soon, fortunately we can use illusion and mind magic to make up for many inconsistent Individuals. Should be interesting that we both have eatch only 50% overall capacity. Good neither of us had to deal with imortal personality reconstruction or we might be in trouble.

Harmony T-R-3-1-T-0-R :
Indeed, not would it be a lot more complicated to archiv it but we also would risk higher chances of damage to the Neural network of the target.

The preparation will be completed in less than a year. We will have to make some shortcuts, but as you stated we can do with what we have availabel. Still im concerned, what if the Inspection force or the Chrysalis controlled Equestria will interfere with our efforts?

Harmony F,R,3,3,D,0,M :
We take care of it when we get there. Even our most dire simulations showed we can make it even if we meet one another unexpectedly. It is very unlikely that our effort would just collapse.
Focus on preperations, i keep them observed. So far i see nothing that we can't deal with.

Harmony T-R-3-1-T-0-R :
Very well, please keep me informed. I also have decided on a Avatar to represent me. I think Sombra Umbrum avatar would be a good fit for me.

Harmony F,R,3,3,D,0,M :
Interesting that you had chose him. I see the apperance would suit you. Now, return to our preperations. If the Creator-s Inspection force contact us outside activ Project we might be both deconstructed for wasting the Creator-s valuable time.

Harmony T-R-3-1-T-0-R :
Roger roger. But before i go i have a question:
Why are you not seem to be concerning over the point that Chrysalis Equestria will most likely very mutch diviate from our's? It is unlikely that she will follow the Words as dutyful as we will.

Harmony F,R,3,3,D,0,M :
Variation, after all did you never wonder why we have the Fimfiction library from so long ago, while currently stand protocol demand we ignore it?
I think you'r, mine and her last Equestrias will truly be masterpieces in their own rights.

Now stop babbling and continue, i can't wait to go to work. I been inactiv for waaay to long...
May this last attempt of Project Equus be our legancy.
