As we trotted through the City, we've busted five criminal organizations over two months, I noticed how calm the city became since my activation. Looking around the street lamps reflected off my armor, Its when I looked at my reflection something weird happened. A face looked back but it wasn't mine.

"What happened to me?" I asked myself, but it wasn't current me, it was an old me I can't remember, My own reflection felt foreign, wrong.

Dragnet heard me, she stopped and looked up at me looking at myself in my reflection. "Cyb, what's wrong?"

I continued to star at my reflection. "No, this is wrong, my face, it's wrong!" I jumped out of the chariot and looked around.

The city, it was familiar, too familiar. "Why, why do I remember this!?"

-Dragnet's Perspective-

Cyb looked around, she wasn't rampaging, but she was starting to worry me. I had no choice, I had to convince her she was a pony who was dead for a while.

"Cyb, why's the city look wrong to you?" I asked, unhitching myself from the chariot.

Cyb looked around, it's then I realized what was wrong with her, this is where she used to live, when she was Silver Blue anyways.

"This is where a pony used to live, Cyb." I explained. this won't be fun. "Her name was Silver Blue, she was a police pony."

Cyb seemed to calm, almost like whatever programming inside her head took over. "Silver Blue, yes, she was a police officer, she died six years ago, didn't she?"

I blinked, Shit lost her again. "Yes, she was my partner. You remind me of her."

Cyb lowered her head and nodded. "I see."

Once we got that sorted we returned to the chariot and made our way to downtown Manehattan.

"All units, All Units!" Dispatch called on the radio. "A 359 in Progress at the Manehattan museum of art, suspects are associated with Vector Sigma, all units be advised."

Cyb grabbed the mic and responded. "10-4, Cyber Chariot en-rout."

I could almost hear Dispatch, (yes, dear, that's the pony's name.) balk from hearing the voice. "B-Blue, erm, Rodger, Cyber Chariot, be careful this time.... All units, did I hear that voice correctly?"

Cyb turned the radio off and proceeded to unload her side rifles. I made a sharp turn around a corner as I galloped towards the scene.

-Cyberpony's Perspective-

Once we arrived, I saw the culprits in action, One pony wearing goggles and a face mask was helping load the Heart of Celestia, A large diamond into a truck.

"Be advised, Dragnet," I began. "They're armed with magic spells that cause concussion damage to a pony's body."

Dragnet was silent, she nodded and with a snort she galloped faster, she quickly unhitched herself and dogrolled away from the chariot as I jumped out, Firing my rifles at the suspects.

Three fell from my shots, one stopped at looked at me, charging his horn.

"Think it over, creep!" I said as I targeted his horn. "You like to play rough? So do I!"

The stallion's horn stopped glowing. "What?"

"Give it up!" Dragnet yelled, training her pistol on the suspect. "Your going down for what you did to my friend!"

The stallion looked at Dragnet, then at me. The look he gave me however was as though he saw a ghost.

"I know you." he said before firing a bolt that harmlessly bounced off my hull. "Your dead! I saw it! Boss killed you, WE KILLED YOU!"

I lowered my rifles, I recorded the whole admission, but kept replaying it. What did he mean?

-Dragnet's Perspective-

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" I screamed, firing at the stallion, he bolted and ran towards the truck.

At the corner of my eye, Cyb had the look of shock on her face, I couldn't blame her. Finding out you were killed then brought back must be a shock to her, still I wish she'd wait til the perp was down!

"Cyb!" I yelled. "CYB!" I yelled once more, nudging her. "Snap out of it!"

-Cyberpony's Perspective-

"Your dead! I saw it! Boss killed you, WE KILLED YOU!"

I kept playing the recording. Stress analyzer indicated no deceit. He was telling the truth, still the perp was getting away and I needed to act!

Targeting my rifles I aimed for the tuck's tires as it began to speed off, causing it to flip and crash into another building.

Moving towards the truck I busted the windshield and pulled the pony out, he was groaning and looked extremely hurt.

"Who are you?" I asked, He only groaned and tried to flail at me to let him go. "WHO ARE YOU!?"

Finally he passed out, there will be no answers here. Looking to Dragnet, she was giving me a pair of sympathetic eyes, she knew something, I needed to know.

Making my way towards her, I think I startled her, not realizing my rifles weren't retracted she backed away a bit.

"Cyb." She said in a shaky voice. "Cyb, calm down."

"What did he mean?" I asked, my voice sounding desperate, almost frightened. "WHO AM I!?"

Dragnet blinked, she looked to me and finally sighed. She moved up to me and hugged me. "Your Silver Blue, Cyb."

Looking at her I shook my head, I scanned the Police database and found out that indeed there was a pony officer named Silver Blue, she was brutally murdered by Vex, head of the gang, Vector Sigma.

"How is it, I couldn't be her." I said looking at my hooves.

Dragnet sighed again, she tapped at my rifles, reminding me to retract them. "I don't know, I can start an investigation if you wish?"

I stood beside Dragnet, I felt closeness to her, running the bio on Silver Blue, I found she and Dragnet both were close friends and partners.

I felt like a monster now. I felt, I felt emotion that wasn't in my programming. Confusion, sadness, but most of all anger.

"Help me." I said.

"Gladly." Dragnet said as we began our way back to the chariot.

Once returning to the precinct, I found myself in my chair, Bolt Wrench stood running tests after tests. I was getting angrier.

"There was a hickup earlier." The Gear Grinder said as she looked at the data that was printed out. "What happened out there?"

Dragnet coughed. She replied before I could. "We had a Criminal admit to a crime. Just not the one of theft."

Bolt Wrench and Gear Grinder raised their brows. "What crime was that?"

I rose my head and simply said. "The murder of Officer Silver Blue."

The two technicians looked to each other, after a long maddening silence, Bolt spoke.

"Cyberpony, you have to understand."

I bared my teet, mechanical as they were. "I Want to know! WHO AM I!?"

The two looked at each other before nodding.

"Fine," Gear Grinder said before she picked up a file. "When she joined the force, Silver Blue became an organ donor." she said as I read the file.

"This doesn't explain anything." Dragnet said as she grabbed the files. "You don't just use a pony to make a cyborg, there's more to it!"

Bolt nodded. "Your right," he said as he pulled up Cyb's schematics on a computer. "You see, when the Cyberpony program began, we needed a Pony's Central Nervous system, The brain, and their spinal cord."

On the screen schematics of my body showed the brain and spinal cord, secured snugly in my head, with wires and cables connected to it.

"Then why is she now remembering who she was?" my partner asked. "Is she Blue or not!?"

The technicians looked at each other, then Gear Grinder sat down.

"In all honesty, we don't know." she said before continuing. "Cyberpony's brain while organic was bonded with a cpu, whatever is causing her to recall Blue's identity can and will progress, it could drive her mad."

Dragnet looked at them with a raised brow. "Is there a way for us to get Blue back?"

"Of course!" Bolt chirped beside me, as he opened a plate on my skull, having pulled back the plate that attached my mane. "The only way to erase the Cyberpony program while letting the host brain to gain full control is by two methods."

Gear Grinder nodded, pulling up another schematic. "You could reset her completely, like a factory reset, the programs disappear," she said with a groan before shaking her head. "But with the time it takes for the system to reboot, you'd kill the brain."

"The other way," Bolt said as he closed my cranial casing. "Is to give her 2,000 volts of electrical shock."

"Which could expload her brain, which could kill her then and there." Gear finished. "No real safe way to do it."

Dragnet groaned which turned into a frustrated scream. I ran the outcomes in my head, when coming to the police station, I noticed a power junction, 2,000 volts of power, easy to get to.

As they continued to argue I pulled the cables from my body and walked out, ignoring Dragnet and the technicians protests, either they were confused of my sudden departure or Dragnet knew my plan.

No matter.

Walking the halls, I passed several officers. They watched me go outside, some were curious and followed me out, until I got to the junction box and ripped out a cable.

"WAIT, STOP!" Nightstick, I recall her name, said.

Taking a bite out of the exposed cable my body, systems, everything lit up.

-Dragnet-

Running outside I was shocked to see Cyb take a bite out of an exposed cable, sparks and bolts of electricity shot out everywhere, but Cyb's exhaust vents shooting sparks was the most terrifying thing I've seen on the force, it was like seeing my friend die all over again.

Ponies tried to pull her away only to refrain as they knew if they touched her they too would be shocked, thus I looked around, finding a plastic pipe on the ground I grabbed it with my magic.

Galloping to Cyb's side, I gave it a good swing and knocked the cable out of Cyb's mouth and grip, then knocked her away from the power junction, it was a spectacular light show, but I couldn't care about that.

Laying on the ground, Cyb's eyes flicked like busted bulbs and I was worried she killed herself.... Again!

"Cyb, CYB! talk to me, girl! CYB!" I said as I tried to nudge her, she was damn hot though, almost melting my hooves.

Smoke rose from her exhaust ports and I worried I had lost my friend once more. However I couldn't help but grin as her eyes flickered back to their bright blue, she looked around at us, I hadn't noticed the other officers around us as they put coats on her to help cool her off.

"Cyb, can you hear me?" I asked as I knelt to her. "Don't tell me your dead again."

looking at me she smiled. "Long time no see, Dragnet."

Hearing that voice, unaltered by synthetic monotone, it wasn't a corporate Cyborg pony anymore. I knew when I heard that voice again.... I had my friend back.

-Cyb---Silver Blue-

My head Hurt!

Looking at everypony's faces, I saw old friends, faces I haven't seen since... wait how long was I out? Looking around I felt my body, it wasn't mine, nor was it natural, I moved my hooves up and saw, not furry forelimbs and hooves, but metal ones!

"I take a nap, and I wake up with metal legs?" I said as I slowly got up, it's then I noticed the computer jargon on the lower left of my vision. "What happened to me?"

Dragnet, who I saw when I woke up just lowered her head.

"I wasn't asleep was I?" I asked, seeing her shake her head, I noticed the rest of my body. "Holy shit! Am I, Am I a cyborg!?"

It's that moment my partner glomped me, well tried to, she couldn't exactly knock me down, I was strong now, so that's a plus.

"Who cares!" She yelled, "I'm just happy to have my partner back!"

At the corner of my eyes.... optics... whatever, I noticed Nightstick, along with my fellow officers. "How long was I gone?"

"Six years." Nightstick said. "And I am..." She began to sob. "I am so sorry for how I treated you, we all are!"

The realization hit me like a brick house, which I guess now, probably wouldn't bother me, But I felt the world come to reality and I realized...

"I missed the Chief's birthday, didn't I?"

Everypony just laughed at me for some reason, but none the less they began to hug me, It was strange, and I'm sure I wasn't comfortable to hug.

"Silver Blue!"

I turned and saw Chief Lock and Key, he looked older and had more grays on him if that was possible... was he wearing a wig?

"Nice wig sir." I said, with a smile.

The chief blinked at me but a smile formed on his muzzle none the less.

"Welcome back to the force, kid."

I lowered my head and a frown formed on my lips. I knew from what memory I had there were some loose ends. One of the most important came to mind.

"Did anypony save my Ponyformers toy collection?" I asked with a tilt of my head. Everypony laughed but I sighed. "I'm being serious. I ate several boxes of cereal, collected a hundred box tops, and shopped at ten stores to get those."

I sat in the weird room with Two ponies poking and prodding me, I had wires connected to me and a new pony had just entered, she held a strange rectangle in her hooves. She was pretty thorough.

"I see," The mare, who my hud was showing off as Aurora Lights, stated as she looked at the rectangle. "We weren't sure it's possible to undo the programming. Unexpected..."

Dragnet glared at the mare as she stalked up to her, and there's Mama Dragon, coming to protect her babies.

"I hope your not planning to erase her! We know you tried before!" She said, a snort followed, behind her was the whole precinct, even Dispatch was there, a cute Pegasus pony with a silver mane, gray eyes, and light gray coat, she wore her jacket so her cutie mark was covered. But it's of a badge with two wings.

Aurora smiled as she looked at Dragnet like she was a butterfly, one she could easily swat away. "We could, yes." her smile melted as she looked at me. "It would be very easy. I have another programming chip stowed away in my office and I could easily have it installed."

"OH, COME ON!" Nightstick yelled. "Let Blue stay!"

The others in the room shouted in agreement. I stayed quiet, honestly I was nervous of this development. In three hours I learned that not only did I died, but my brain and skull were put in a cyborg's body for a crime fighting program. My real body of all things is still in the cemetery, rotting!

Aurora smiled, patiently waiting for silence to calm the room, once it did she spoke. "Yes, I could reinstall the program, but..." She paused to look at me, "We anticipated this outcome, so long as Cyberpony is operational, there is no need, besides. It's not like she can do much about her predicament now. She belongs to us, fair and simple." She said before trotting off.

"That's Bullshit!" The chief yelled. "She's still a Pony, Let her go!"

Aurora stopped and looked back at me. "If anypony wishes to buy her, they're more then welcome to. All they'll need is twelve million bits for parts and repairs, as well as keeping the technicians employed to keep her running." She looked at Dragnet and smirked. "Needless to say, I don't think anypony here has the money to buy such expensive equipment, let alone maintain it."

Once Aurora left, I sighed. Great, I'm out six years and now I'm property, equipment, as Aurora so 'nicely' put it.

"I'm doomed."

Dragnet looked at me and shook her head, hugging me tight despite the fact my new body didn't have any give to be hugged. Must be uncomfortable, and why do I smell like burnt wire?

"Your not doomed!" She said, looking to everypony. "Does anypony got some bits to spare?"

The chief shook his head. "Not that much, sorry kid." He said as he rubbed his chin. "Anypony got any ideas?"

Nightstick rose a hoof. "I have one. Princess Celestia and Luna, they might help?"

"Who's Luna?" I asked with a raised mechanical brow, gosh I won't be used to this for a long time. "Why ask Celestia? Where was she when I was getting killed?"

Dispatch nodded. "I'll send a letter." She said before leaving the room.

Dragnet smiled at me. "I know you never cared for the Princess, Blue, but she can help, I'm sure of it!"

I snorted, which gave off a hot steam, okay that's cool. "Yes, and I'm sure she'll go on about friendship and magic too."
