Darkness.

I knew it once....

Before my life began.....

It was warm once....

Now it's....

it's....

Cold. Cold as the void, and now I must....

Wait.

No,

NO!

I'm not done yet.

Theres much I have to do still.

I have to....

I...

What do I have to do....?

How can I do it? My legs are shot off, and from those final shots my body is a mess....

Wait...

Something's wrong...

I awaken once more. the world slowly becomes bright, I can see once more, but things are.... strange.... I'm In a room... a white room.

Theres ponies milling about the room, working on machines, computers, and.... wait.... wait....

I can't move. I...

I CAN'T MOVE!

Okay, Okay, calm down.... I can't move but I can see at least. No need to freak out...

just think...

Think

Think

Think......

I.... I was a pony... Earth pony.....

I think....

Earth....

I was a police officer..... yes.

And my name is.....

My name.....is.....

My......

My name......

whats my name?

The world comes to life again, but things are strange again. It doesn't slowly come to.... it... fizzled. flickered. like a monitor.

Ponies are milling about, but theres a few around me. Hello!

"She's on." A stallion says as he types on a computer. "Looks like the system is fully intergrated into the spinal cord and brain."

"Good." A pony says, he stays in a room overlooking this one, I can't see him clearly, too far away. "Get her set up. Aurora, I want her targeting system online."

"Yes, Mr. Fetlock." The mare, Aurora I think, says as she turns to me and puts a camera lense over my eyes and starts screwing them in.

I don't feel it, but things start out blurry before sharpening.

"Their in, run a test." Aurora says as a stallion nods.

Grid lines appear over my eyes, then they fade and several target reticules appear on everypony's face, Not wanting to hurt anypony I switch it off.

"The hell?" the stallion nearby says noticing what I did. "She turned em off?"

"Don't worry, just so long as they work it don't matter."

The world goes dark again.

The world comes to life again, computer jargon scrolls down the left bottom side of my vision as I look around, I can move my 'eyes' I guess, and I can pivot my head.

"Hey look!"

A voice catches my attention, I turn my head to look at the source of the voice and see ponies, their working on what looks like a large model of an armored pony. It's shaped like a mare, but it's incomplete, no legs, it has no paint, it looks familiar though...

The stallion from before is with them.

"So your awake, good to see that your operational." The cloaked pony said.

"Mr. Fetlock the new forehoof is in." A pony in a doctors coat said as they bring in a mechanical foreleg.

Mr. Fetlock looks the leg over and looks at the hoof. "I said I wanted full mechanical automotation and adaptability." he said with a frown. "it looks like any other foreleg."

The doctor smiled as he puts in some data from his computer.

The foreleg raised and extended, the hoof cracked open in four segments, followed by four individual mechanical fingers extended out.

"The graspers retract and extend, we figured it be easier to keep the pony design recognizable and better for the populace to see familiarity. That's why we kept the Female Gender design, Ponies will see a mare as more friendly for foals." The doctor said as he pushed another button. He took a piece of metal rebar and put it in the fingers grasp.

They proceeded to crush the pipe to a pulp, parts of it falling off.

"I'm impressed, put it on her shoulder." Fetlock said as he smiled at me. "And be sure to wipe her memory when finished...."

The world greeted me once more, I felt nearly complete, but only just. the world was dark outside, but I see the moon, the mare in the moon was there as it always has been..... Wait... it just disappeared....

Strange....

Darkness returned.

Iron Fetlock stood before a podium at the city park, he cleared his throat as the Equestrian Press, the Local Police, and even Princess Celestia along with a smaller Alicorn, one with a dark blueberry coat, blue mane, and blue eyes. They watched as he made a speech.

"Mares and Gentlecolts," He began, looking to Celestia, "Princess Celestia as well." he said with a chuckle, "Manehattan has a cancer, the cancer is crime."

He looked at the police as he continued. "Our ponies in blue have fought diligently, but lately crime has gotten more dangerous, more.... sinister."

He stepped out of behind the podium and walked around. "I grew up in this city, I seen it turn from a golden metropolis into a crime infested puss filled zit!" he spat, looking to the buildings as he shook his head. "Well, Now we have a cure. A vaccine."

Stepping back behind the podium the stallion looked to Princess Celestia. "Your majesty, if you'd be so kind as to be ready, you will be helping with our demonstration."

Celestia looked around, rather confused, but she smiled and stepped up on stage.

Fetlock turned to the audience and smiled. "Allow me to show you our Vaccine...."

The floor of the stage opened as a large figure rose from a platform rising it up, It's body consisted of metal, painted steel blue, it's face was like a pony complete with a mouth, two eyes that at the moment were dark, and even had a mane and tail that were made of fiberoptic wires.

Behold, our Enforcement Cyborg, we call it a Cyberpony." Fetlock said with a grin as the audience laughed. "As you've noticed I'm not great with speaches, so lets drag this on no further...."

Light.... light once more. The read out on the bottom left of my sight showed everything running at acceptable levels.

Looking around I found myself to be outside, on a stadium of somekind, infront of a crowd of ponies, looking at all the faces, I can't help but feel familiarity with some of the ones my readout shows as officers of the law.

"With that out of the way," A voice calls my attention, I turned to see Iron Fetlock, which my Hud shows as 'Creator' stands at a podium. "Let us begin the demonstration."

I step up, I knew what to do, Even as instructions fill my CPU, I can predict them as these have been ran before.

"Cyberpony." Iron Fetlock said, turning to me, "Let us start with a hostage situation." he motioned his hoof to Princess Celestia as he pulled out a weapon, my scans showed it was empty but I played along as the demo program told me to.

He stood before the Princess and bowed to her. "Your majesty, I wish for permission for this demonstration only to make you my hostage."

Celestia blinked but chuckled. "Very well. I'll allow it."

Iron Fetlock smiled as he wispered in her ear, "Alright, the demonstration is you must be in distress. so play along."

Celestia nodded and thus the demonstration began.

Fetlock grabbed Celestia and held her with a forleg and the gun to her timple.

"THIS IS A HOLD UP!" He shouted, "I want a chariot, Twenty Million bits, and No Funny Business!"

He was a lousy actor, but my demo mode kicked in.

My eyes flashed red as the plates on my sides slid open, two rifles trained themselves on Iron Fetlock's forehead and Pistol. Data was showing me the best rout of action was to fire at the pistol first then take out the gunman. But progaming told me to try and talk the situation down first.

"HALT!" I yelled. "Let the Princess go. Theres no way out of this if you harm her." my senthetic voice stated as I ran the outcome of the situation.

"Your bluffing officer!" Fetlock said, as he continued. "No I'm not going to jail!"

"Oh, Please help me." The princess said. Ugh, she's an even worse actoress then fetlock! "I fear he may fire that weapon at my head and slightly annoy me." Yep, the worst, maybe even terrible.

Thus the demo played its conclusion to my sensores. I fired two rounds at once, both of which for the demonstration where paintball pellets.

Iron Fetlock fell to the floor and groaned. holding his head. I moved up and proceeded to cuff him. "You are under arrest, you have the right to remain silent..." I continued to read his rights to him until the demo completed.

Once done I removed the cuffs and stood aside, lowering my gaze and looking at the crowd.

"As you can see," Iron Fetlock said as he got up. "Cyberpony is capable of using none leathal force, however if the situation is extreme, she is equipped with twin magic bolt rifles, in this case, they were paintball guns, and yes they hurt like hay."

The crowd laughed as they saw him whipe off the paint from his forehead.

"Cyberpony is also Equipped with automatic repair talismens and a sonic emitter. She's capable of surviving any climent of the year. Rain, sleet, snow, theres nothing this pony can't handle.... Any questions?"

A reporter rose her hoof. Iron Fetlock nodded to her and as I looked at her I felt familiarity to her face.

"Yes, Open Mic with manehattan news, How is it you refer to it as a She? It's none gender, so...."

Iron Fetlock smiled as he looked at me, "A wonderful question, you see, we chose a female form was better for the city population to identify with Cyberpony, were it stallion, it would have looked too intimidating. Being a mare however, Cyberpony can gain the popularity with foals of both genders, infact I can see toys being sold of Cyberpony for both colts and fillies!"

I tuned him out as I continued to scan the audience, my optics focusing once more on the police officers. one in particular. A brown unicorn with Azure eyes looked back at me, we stared at each other for a time before I was knocked out of my trance, as my ears swiveled forward and down.

"Is it possible I may ask Cyberpony a question?" Open Mic asked

Fetlock shrugged. "I see no issue with that."

My optics trained on Open Mic and I leaned in as she approached.

"Cyberpony, I'm Open---

"Open Mic, Reporter for Manehattan news station MHEQ, What is your question?" I asked, My systems didn't know that..... I did.... Furthermore my voice wasn't synthetic, it felt.... natural.... almost giddy.

Open Mic just stared at me for a moment, but ever the reporter she shook her head and smiled. "Yes well, I see I have another fan." She giggled. "Well, what's your message to the criminals in Manehattan."

"I'm not Pony-Playing around," I said, I could have sworn the brown unicorn's eyes bulged out when I said that, odd. "I don't play nice either!"

Open Mic smiled. "Pony-Playing around, I....I never heard that term...."

Fetlock looked at me with scrutinous eyes, he spoke in a headset making sure he wasn't heard. "I thought we wiped her memories?' I heard it crystal clear.

I looked over the crowd and the next part of my programming appeared. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do. Late cops get killed."

"Late Cops get killed."

Upon hearing those words Dragnet began running out of the audience. the Police chief followed.

"Dragnet!" Lock n' key yelled. "DRAGNET, STOP!"

Slowing to a stop and watching the now famed Cyberpony walk down the street, she panted.

"Chief...."

"I know." Lock-And-Key said as he watched as well. "Those bastards!"

"Only Blue said Pony-play... it was her thing...." Dragnet said as they watched the machine walk to a crosswalk. it.... she was almost out of sight.

"I always told her 'Officers who come in late, get killed'." The chief said shaking his head. "Maybe, maybe it's just programming?"

Dragnet stood there for a while, but as the Cyberpony left her sight, she had a feeling in her heart that she was right.

"No, it's more than that. the way she said it." the Brown Unicorn said as she turned to face the chief. "It was her voice, chief."

Lock n' Key looked at where they believe their old friend walked off, "Lets go find her then."

"Chief Lock n' Key, I presume?" A sudden voice called out.

With a jolt, the police chief and Dragnet turned. there stood Fetlock and Celestia.

Fetlock grinned, "I must say, Cyberpony is operating quite well."

"Yes...." Dragnet said as she looked him over. "Tell me, Mr. Fetlock, how did you make it? Couldn't just be spare parts and a can opener?"

Fetlock grinned, a mare walked up beside him holding a tablet. "Company secrete I'm afraid, Say, are you interested in the partner program?"

Dragnet tilted her head. "Partner?"

With a toothy smile, Fetlock nodded. "Well, she needs a partner. Only feels right. So, you interested?"

Looking at her chief, Lock n' Key only nodded to her. Thus Dragnet nodded. "Sure, Gotta make sure, she don't get into trouble like she used to."

The grin on Fetlock's muzzle was ripped right off. he blinked at her before chuckling. "I'm sure you think you might know what she is, but she's product, she's a machine, nothing more."

"I'm sure." Dragnet said as she turned to go find her partner. "Sign me up for it."

Trotting down the street I focused on greeting the locals as my program instructed, I stopped a moment as I felt a presence behind me, turning around I saw the brown Unicorn from before. Scanning the database of known officers of her description, a name came up.

"Greetings officer Dragnet." I said in a monotone voice. "How may I assist you?"

The unicorn simply stared at me with wide eyes, like she saw a ghost. I wondered if she was ill. My systems did a scan.

"Officer Dragnet, your blood pressure, and heart rate is skyrocketed. Do you require me to alert an emergency responce unit?"

Finally the Unicorn shook her head and responded. A smile shun upon her face, a smile I can't help haunts me like a spirit of an old life. I just can't recall.

"No, no it's perfectly fine." Officer Dragnet said as she sighed. "Sorry, you just.... remind me of somepony."

I stood and watched the officer in question. Voice stress analyzer dictated she was not being deceptive, but something was wrong. Still she was not suspect of a crime, therefore I could not ask further.

"I" She began, "I signed up for the partner program, if you'll take me?"

I looked the Unicorn over, she looked fit and a Unicorn would be good for a partner. I ran her file in my database, no red flags came up and her phsyce profile was clean, minus a two month depression period from loosing her partner six years ago.

"I will be glad to have you, Officer Dragnet." I stated as I turned and continued my Civilian intigration.

"What are you doing?" Dragnet asked as she walked behind me.

Many ponies stopped their taskes to look at me, they were weary at first, as predicted, but due to my mare gender identification I appeared less aggressive and due to that I was easier to accept. This helped me to identify any crimes that would occour.

"I am doing a walk through the city to my assigned precinct." I said as I looked around, then I noticed a felony in progress.

At an ATM machine, a mare was trying to hack the interface, using a fake card.

"C'mon you piece of---

"HALT!" I cried out. "Your committing a felony, Give yourself up, don't make this hard on yourself!"

The mare stopped and looked at me, she looked me over for a time before smiling, from her dress she pulled out a magic bolt rifle.

"Long Live Sigma!" She cried out as she started firing on me.

The bolts simply bounced off my external armor plating, never the less I had the local bystanders to protect as well, the bolts the mare fired could kill a pony easy, Dragnet hid behind me for cover as she pulled out her pistol and returned fire.

"You must like trouble then." I said as I deployed one of my bolt rifles. "Cease fire and surrender, this is your final warning."

"Some stroll around the city!" Dragnet yelled as she fired a round at the mare shooting out her foreleg. "You come back to us for one hour and already somepony's shooting at us!"

The mare fell to the ground, holding her foreleg while trying to fire her bolt rifle, I simply had enough and targeted the rifle, My programming stated I must attempt to bring the criminal in alive for trial, I can however kill if the pony presented enough of a threat to bystanders, but capture is most encouraged.

It's when my targeting system locked onto the mare's rifle that I fired.

CHOOM CHOOM CHOOM!

The sound of my bolt rifle roared, blasting the rifle out of the mares grip, shattering it to pieces and melting the metal parts. The mare layed on the ground in shock at what had happened to her weapon, she turned to look at me and slowly rose her hooves to the air.

"I---I surrender, o-Officer..." she said with a weak voice.

I scanned her voice, no deception. I slowly scanned the perimiter and found no bystanders were harmed. I moved up to Cuff the mare and read her her rights, I then sent a messege to dispatch to come and pick her up for booking.

Watching the Cyberpony, the one she believed was once her partner take down the armed mare on the street left Dragnet shocked.

"Amazing..." She thought as Cyberpony cuffed the mare and called it in. "Well done, partner. So want to get back to meet and greet, or you want to head to the station?" She asked, with her trademark smile.

That's when Cyberpony's own face changed, her mouth dropped slightly and left ear drooped.

"You do remember me, huh?" Dragnet said under her breath. "I knew it, I knew it was you, Silver Blue."

It was a moment, but Cyberpony's mouth clamped shut and nodded. "Yes, lets go to the station, my hanger bay should be completed."

"And, now she's gone." Dragnet sighed, fallen crested as she nodded. "Alright, Partner."

Walking to the police station, Dragnet watched Cyberpony, she looked like Silver Blue, her armor color was Grey with a blue shine to it, her eyes glowed bright blue, and the mane, though they were LED Fiber Optic Cables, they glowed Blue, it had to be her, but the cyborg lacked a cutie mark. The only difference was she was taller than Silver Blue was, but that could just be because of her being bigger because she was a machine.

'It feels like her, though.' Dragnet said as she watched her cyborg companion. 'Blue and I were partners for four years before her death, long enough to get a feel for a pony, and I feel her now.'

-Dragnet's Perspective-

Once arriving at the Princinct, Cyb (Cute nickname I think I'll use for her, oh yes lets see how blue reacts to that?) and I made our way to a room that was picked out for her. the room was decked out with computers and instruments made specifically to monitor or in some cases if needed, repair her. Also in the room where some technitians, few stood out.

Trotting to a seat, Cyb sat down, the mare who was with Iron Fetlock was there to address her.

"When at rest or in repair, your to sit in this chair." She said as she glanced at me. "Your the partner right?" I simply nodded. "Excelent, your not needed here however, but I see no reason to keep you from seeing your new partner."

"Cyb and I are sure to be good friends." I stated with a smirk, getting a look by the mare and Cyb even looked up at me rather perplexed, stange, you wouldn't think a mechanical face wouldn't have such a wide range of expression.

"Cyb, huh?" The mare said as she turned back to our pony in question. "Now, I see you had a live test of your rifles."

Cyb nodded. "Yes." she simply replied.

The mare simply jotted something down before cantering off.

'Tart.' I thought, no doubt Iron Fetlock's eye candy secretary. I huffed and turned to my partner. "So," I began, gaining her attention. "When you ready to head out?"

Cyb stared at me before looking at the technitians.

"She needs a few more moments for her system to be collaborated." A fellow unicorn mare in a doctors outfit said. "Oh, I'm Gear Grinder, I'm one of the ponies who programmed Cyberpony's directives and made it so she doesn't go mustang on us."

An Earth Pony stallion raised his foreleg. "Call me Bolt Wrench, I designed and built Cyberpony's body and dura-frame." he said with pride. "I see in the data you used her for a bullet shield, good, but don't do it too often, a magic bullet could bounce off something and hit you."

I blinked. "Good to know." I said before looking at my partner, then I noticed behind her, a strange dispenser. "What's that?" I asked trotting to it.

Bolt Wrench looked up at the contraption, he grabbed a cup and held it to a nozzle at the bottom, pulling a lever a paste came out. "Cyberpony is a cyborg, she utilizes living tissue that needs nurishment to survive." he smiled and passed the cup to me. "Go ahead it's safe."

Taking the cup with magic I took a sip. "This is applesauce."

"She has an extremely sensitive and simple digestive system." He said pointing to Cyb. "Don't let her eat anything but soft foods. it could rupture her stomach."

I nodded furviously. "Okay, gotcha."

Cyb then raised to her hooves and looked to me. "Ready to roll?"

'There's Blue again.' I thought and gave a smile. "C'mon Cyb, lets go bust some badguys."

-Cyberpony's Perspective-

After aquiring a chariot, custom made with compartments for spare limbs and a com system. I stood watching Dragnet hitch herself in.

"You do not need to be the one to pull it." I said watching her. She simply rolled her eyes.

"I always drive when breaking in a new partner, Cyb." She said with a smile. I didn't know why I earned a nickname, no matter. I can tell we will at least be friends and work well together.

It strangely felt right.

Once I climbed in and we left the precinct, I began scanning for crimes, the sun was lowering and night was starting, what better time to stop crime as they begin to start?
