35,000 years ago was the end of humanity. Some, however, survived, and went into a deep slumber. Now, they are waking up... and they are ANGRY.

Humans. An ancient species, known as a myth by many, who had elevated their species to godhood. Everlasting life, incredible durability, and the ability to create life.

But one day, for some reason, they all died.

All, but a few.

Now, they are but a myth. Human technology has been replicated by pony society to a small extent. But when a human awakes…

…he is angry.

Awakening

There was darkness. Then...

...there was light. "Awakening from stasis in three... two... one... awakening achieved."

The creature rising from the tube-like device shook its head. Stasis for a long time would take a little out of you. It had learnt that when it was a mere 2000 years old. "This is rather inconvenient..." it groaned, in a voice like a pony, but... the voice was... wrong.

The hairless orangutan - as that was the appearance the creature assumed - pulled its two gangly legs out of the tubelike device, and stood up. Its arms were held out, and two pieces of metal met its arms. Not that it needed them, of course, but it wouldn't help to be sure.

"It is time..." said the creature, its head tilting upwards as a helmet was deposited on its head.

"Time to reclaim the surface." Its helmet tilted upwards, two green, glowing eyes, pointing forwards.
