WAKE UP DASHING WIND!” Shouted a man in jet black clad armor, his skin was a deep black matching his armor. He also had dark purple hair and light blue eye's. As the man anxiously awaited the arrival of his friend, he could hear from outside of the house various items falling onto the floor. There then was the sound of shuffling clothes and rustling as various clanks of the locks came undone. As the door flung open, a gray skinned man with messy light blonde hair and tired, lazy yellow eyes stood in the doorway. “You might want to brush your hair, Dashing, I need you to send this letter for me. It's urgent.” “Pff well obviously you were willing to- wait, why would I need to brush my mane?” “You're delivering a letter to the princess herself,” Said Nyx, with a stern face. “SERIOUSLY! HOLD ON!” Said Dashing in an over the top reaction that he usually got at stuff like this. As the door slammed the man in the black armor sighed as he waited. A few minuets later Dashing wind opened the door quickly, his hair still a little messy but to a respectful degree. “To The Princess right?” “Eeyup.” “Got it, give me the letter,” said Dashing with a look of confidence. Nyx couldn't help but chuckle at this confidence as he handed the letter off to the now flying Dashing Wind, whose wings unfurled. As Dashing Wind flew off, he headed across the skies towards the pristine white castle only a few blocks away from his house. “Man this castle was always so huge,” commented Dashing as he admired the castle which now had a beautiful sunrise peaking above the distant mountains behind it. No words could describe this morning, which would soon bring delightful news to the kingdom. “Always loved Canterlot during the Princess's sunrise and sunset, heck I enjoy Luna's beautiful night here too! The beautiful stars....,” As unwanted memories started filling Dashing's mind he shook it off as he neared the castle. Circling the castle once, he quickly spied the multicolor mane of the princess. It flowed freely without any sort of wind, her crown and boots glistening from the early morning rays. Her fair white skin made every other unname-able feature shimmer and glisten, and at the same time her horn slowly stopped shining the brilliant gold that matched his eyes. “Princess Celestia, a letter for you from Nyx!” Shouted Dashing as Celestia looked at him with a warm, gentle smile. “It seems so dashing,” she says with a smile that would make the devil himself melt. As Dashing handed of the letter, Celestia took it in her golden magical grip. “Thank you, now if you'll excuse me I have a letter to read,” Celestia turned around and walked back into her room as he bowed.

GUARD'S LOG: 12:29 A.M. NOTIFYING THE CAPTAIN IMMEDIATELY. THE CONTENTS OF THE BASKET LEFT BEHIND BY THE MARE. THE CONTENTS OF THE BASKET LEFT BEHIND BY THE SUSPECT CONTAINED A SMALL FILLY. THE FILLY SEEMS TO BE AN ALICORN (MYTHOLOGICAL BEING THAT HAS WINGS HORN AND BODY OF A HORSE. CAN USE MAGIC TO MOVE THE HEAVENS) Dear Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, Earlier this morning a guard running the morning shift noticed a suspicious character leaving a basket at the castle gates. Guard Dawn Shield, attempted to pursue the suspect only to lose her in the dense fog. The only traces left behind were a few tear drops collected by the M.I.S.T(MAGICAL INVESTIGATION SURVEILLENCE TEAM). After reporting to me and searching the surrounding area thoroughly, he heard something coming from the basket. Upon investigating the basket within the guard house, he discovered a small alicorn foal, no older than a few months. The only thing we know is that the foal was born like this, information brought to us from M.I.S.T, and a note inscribed to the royal sisters. If you have any further questions find me. Sincerely, Commander of the Guard, Nyx As she set the letter down on the desk, she slowly rubbed her eyes after using her magic to pick up her glasses up off of her snout, and with an elegant golden glow, setting them beside the letter. As she looked into her fire-place, she listened to the gentle snaps of the embers. She rose slowly from the seat at her desk and walked to her balcony, her long multicolored hair flowing as if in a breeze behind her. As she approached, her balcony doors opened. “Well this is an interesting turn of events isn't it Starswirl?” said Celestia. Stars stood a attention when the queen looked up, “I agree your majesty!” “Star Swirl you know how I feel about such formalities,” Celestia deadpanned. “And you know how I am about formalities, your highness,” Star Swirl replied with a smirk. “Ah, I know that all too well, Star Swirl,” Celestia replied with a light chuckle, “And that's exactly why I have you as my personal and royal adviser and the leader of M.I.S.T.” “And I thank you for that princess,” Star Swirl said with a deep bow. “Now about this alicorn foal.... What should I do?” “A new alicorn born in these times.... even I don't know what to do. But I think it would be best if you would allow M.I.S.T to study the foal,” As these words left Star Swirl's muzzle, Celestia furrowed her brow with concern as she pondered this.(Should I let M.I.S.T take the foal and use it for scientific gain?... No I'll take care of the child myself and raise him like a younger brother and let him think we're family but I would really like to know the physiology of my species.... ) “What will it be princess?”Asked Star Swirl with a raise of his brow. “Let's see after a few months, okay Star?” “Thank you my majesty,” Star said as his smile broadened, “and don't worry the foal will be in good hands!” He commented under his breath as he chuckled softly and turned to leave the room, “That foalish foalish princess heh heh.” Author's Note Hello. Welcome to my first fanfiction. It may not be very good but I'm always striving to make my stories better. Oh and before I forget. THANKS FOR READING. sincerely. Prince Glitch (octavia) M.I.S.T LABORITORIESChapter 2: M.I.S.T LABORATORIES Month 1 since the foal was found, the princess and Star Swirl allowed analysis of the alicorn foal. So much progress has been made to the physiology, magical intelligence and power! It makes me cringe to think of what the princesses could do at full power... This foal has enough magical power to tear open Magis Titanium Alloy! Not even Star Swirl the Bearded, the master of magic, can do that, he can't even make a dent in it! Month 2. This is amazing! The foal has gained sentience and begun making out words in order to communicate! What intelligence this foal has. Normal foals can't start forming a single word at 5 months. Month 3. Star Swirl proposed to me and three others to commence secret experiments to see the power of this foal, as I write this down we are moving the subject to a secluded area. The rest of us don't know where we are going, we were blindfolded while we were transferred. I'm scared, what if the princess finds out? Month 4. I regret working for M.I.S.T. I have to do something for this poor foal, I can't stand to hear his howls of pain as we experiment. Just today we pulled out a liter of his blood so Star Swirl can experiment with it. I haven't seen my wife since we left, she stopped sending letters. Month 5. I'm going to resign today, the tests are getting more unorthodox and brutal each day. Star has been getting a little on edge on trying to figure out how strong the foal is when under pressure and threatened. The foal understands words and can speak fluently now. He seems to be a fan of classical music, so in an attempt to apologize I'll leave him my collection of classical music and a record player so he can at least enjoy his time just a little bit. My heart shatters for this foal ... Month 5. I just passed by the foals room, he was screaming as Star Swirl and the other scientists were putting him through those 'tests'. I swore I heard him begging them to stop as I passed. This isn't science... Month 6. OH GOD, THE PRINCESS HAS ISSUED A NATION WIDE SEARCH FOR US! I ASKED IF I COULD BE LET OUT OF THIS HORRID TESTING LAST MONTH BUT HE THREATENED TO HAVE MY FAMILY SLAUGHTERED IF I DON'T CO-OPPERATE! I'M GETTING OUT EITHER WAY, AND I'M TAKING THE FOAL WITH ME! I'M GOING TO GET MY WIFE AND PHILLIES AND RUN TO THE PRINCESSES! STAR SWIRL JUST BEGAN USING VARIOUS DRUGS TO SEE HIS REACTION! THE FOAL WAS CRYING OUT THAT HE FELT LIKE HIS EYES WERE MELTING AND THAT EVERY LIMB IN HIS BODY WAS BEING BURNED! Month 7. If you are reading this it means that I have begun my attempt to rescue the foal. I ask this of you my trusted student, I shall leave your name out in order to protect you. RUN I EMPLOR, RUN! It's not safe anymore, get out of there as soon as you can. M.I.S.T LABORATORIES (GLITCH PERSPECTIVE)Chapter 3: M.I.S.T LABORITORIES (GLITCH) They call me subject GL1TCH, and I don’t understand what that means but it’s what they call me. The ponies here scare me, they wear these scary masks and goggles and use all sorts of scary objects on me, they tell me that it’s just to check my vitals. I can understand what they’re saying, but I can’t quite talk yet. They are surprised that I can reply to them with a nod or any other body motion. They're telling me it's month 2 of me being here in this nation they call Equestria. “So this place, they call it Equestria?” “W-w-w-wha, u-um yes they do,” the scientist sputtered stupidly. “Why are you acting so surprised? Don't most foals my age talk?” I said whilst tilting my head. “ W-well, no they dont,” As we continued to have our conversation about why foals my age don't have the ability to talk, a pony not wearing a mask or goggles came in with a soft smile. He had pale white skin just like the pretty lady up in the window, and just like that bearded pony. The pretty lady is only up there once or twice a day, though. “Hey there little guy! Is it okay if I call you Glitch?” “G-glitch?” “Eeyup,” “Sure, what's your name?” I said with the tilt of my head. “hmmmmm,” The stranger carefully pondered, tapping his hoof on his chin. “You may call me Nova, m'kay?” “Okay,” I replied with a warm smile. The man they call Star Swirl told me they're taking me somewhere scary. He put this sack over my head and and was taking me somewhere... “WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!” I shouted while flailing under the scientists arms. “SHUT UP YOU ANNOYING FOAL!” One of the scientists shouted, shaking me by the mane. “GENTLE WITH SUBJECT GL1TCH YOU INSOLENT SWINES!” Barked a man who sounded old. “Sorry sir,” The scientist replied to whom I presumed to be Star Swirl. “I'm sorry 'bout that G1CH it WON'T happen again,” Star Swirl said with the emphases on the “won't”. Soon after I felt something small and sharp like a needle go into my neck and my eyelids grew heavy, with a yawn I soon fell asleep. When I next awoke I was in a small padded florescent white room, with lights that hurt my eyes when I opened them. As soon my eyes adjusted to the room I scanned my surroundings, all that was in the room was me, a big black mirror wall thing, a small table with straps on it, and a big metal door. (They told me when I was one month old that I tore open one of the strongest metals in Equestria.... I wonder if I could smash this and get out of here.) As I stared at the door I diverted my attention at the black tinted glass window, I guess that's where Star is. Luna hasn't talked to me since I got here. “How long was I asleep?” “For about a day or two Glitch,” “Nova?” I replied to the voice kind of relieved that at least there was one familiar voice in this scary place. “Eeyup, miss me?” “Yea! And I also don't seem to have my books on magic and history with me,” I said looking at my hooves dejectedly. “Oh, you mean these books?” Nova holds up to thick textbooks. As I eyed them he smiles triumphantly. “I can't forget my little buddy's favorites books now can I?” He said with a big smile. As he handed the books over to me I snatched them up with a great big smile. “Thanks Nova,” “No problem little guy, hey Star is going to come in and take some blood from you okay?” “O-okay,” I replied with a small hint of fear in my voice. “Hey hey, I need you to be a strong little filly okay? I'll be gone for a bit but I’ll try and visit you whenever I can okay?” “Okay Nova,” “Okay well I have to go now, see you soon!” He exclaimed as he waved goodbye. Soon after he had left, Star came in holding a big syringe and approached slowly while after him was two other colts. “What are you going to do with that big scary needle?” “It's nothing to fret about little one, I’m only going to take a little bit of your blood,” said Star Swirl as he approached me with the needle, an ominous grin splayed across his face. “It won't hurt much, but you'll get a big dinner after...,” Star said calmly as the two scientists began to pick me up and strap me down as I attempted to fight back. “No stop i-,” I was quickly cut off as a long leather muzzles was fixed across my face, and my fore legs and hind legs were strapped down and the needle inched closer to my right foreleg. As horror broke my usual happy face, his smile widened along with some chuckling as I winced in pain from the needle sliding deep into my arm, hitting a vein and drawing out a large amount of blood. “MMMMMMMMMF!” “Hush now silly little foal, it'll only sting and be sore when I'm done,” The days after are just a blur... As I awoke from my fitful, yet painful sleep I trudged out of bed and looked around to find myself in a room with nothing inside but a bunch of tinted glass windows on all 4 walls. “Hello? Anypony there?” “GL1TCH, we're going to do some experiments testing your magical strength and capabilities. You may get hurt during these tests and only when you're in critical condition or you destroyed every last one of the beings that we are going to release into your room,” “W-what?” “Good-luck,” Before I could ask what was going on three weird balls were slowly lowered into my room from the ceiling, startled I readied my magic, an iridescent glow surrounding my horn, and my wings fully unfurled as the objects plopped to the ground with a soft thud. As I waited the three objects started to unfold themselves and started to stand with some beeps and bops and started to whir to life, their black glass eyes started to glow. The one to the right eye's glowed a deep crimson, the one to the left eye's glowed a bright cyan blue, and the one in the middle eyes glowed an ominous deep purple. Each one had markings on its chest, r-3d, 0ct4v, and V1nl3. “R-3D HAS VISUAL OF TARGET, REQUESTING ORDERS FROM HQ,” R-3d said in a rustic, obviously synthesized voice. “Affirmative, 0ct4v has sight on the target,” Said 0ct4v in an elegant and conserved tone. “YEA! V1NL3 GOT TARGETS ON THE TARGET ALSO!” exclaimed V1nl3 in a rambunctious and slightly female voice. “This is HQ, you have permission to exterminate,” said Star “EXTERMINATE,” “Extermination,” “YEEEEEAH! EXTERMINATION TIME HERE WE GO!” “On one condition pon-bots. Attack one at a time,” “AFFIRMATIVE, CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER,” Battle for my lifeCHAPTER 4: BATTLE FOR MY LIFE “Oh Glitch before you start your fight, 'Nova' left you his collection of his music and his record player, now back to your fight,” After Star Swirls comment, r-3d began charging at me once more readying his fists. Charging my magic, I closed my eyes to gather all the elements in the air for the blast, but as I opened my eyes to find r-3d, he is no-where to be seen. When I looked up to the top of the room two metallic hooves crash down into my face with a loud THUD. His hooves made contact with my face I quickly focused my magic to my hooves and face, to help soften his impact. When I felt that he had came to a complete stop, I grabbed him and focused on charging my attack once more. “TARGET HAS A HOLD ON UNIT R-3D, MOTORS IN LEGS SEEM TO HAVE MALFUNCTIONED DUE TO UNKNOWN SPELL MAKING CONTACT WITH MOTORS. ERROR ERROR!” “SHUT UP YOU STUPID HUNK OF JUNK!” I shouted at the robot as I released a powerful wave of magic out of my horn, sending r-3d into the air without his legs. As I flurry of sparks emitted from r-3d leg sockets. “R-3D 'UNINTELLIGBLE' HAS TAKEN MASSIVE DAMAGE. SHUTING DOWN,” said r-3d as he soared through the air with his engine quieting, and his deep crimson eyes slowly dimming to a deep black void. Dropping his legs I looked at the one with 0ct4v on its chest. “It seems that it's my turn now doesn't it?” remarked the gray coated and black mane robot known as 0ct4v. She walked up to me. “So I heard you enjoy classical music?” “Yes I do. But I have also been creating my own music genre also,” “Really now?” 0ct4v commented as she, or what I presumed as a she, tilted her head, her black mane floating lazily with her head. “Yes I have.” “Mind if I listen to this new music genre you tell me about?” “Hmmm, I think it would be best if I showed you, but, before I do, I have a question.” “Ask away young colt,” “Aren't you programmed to exterminate who ever you're ordered to?” I asked with a questioning stare as I lowered my guard slightly. “Yes, but I'm also programmed to take interest in music also-,” “YEA! CAUSE OF 0CT4V HERE, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CREATED! WELL WITH SOME HELP FROM YOU ALSO!” “What does sh-,” I felt a tight cold grip around my neck and I grasped at it, attempting to loosen its grip. “Sorry to be so abrupt, but I have neglected my duties for long enough,” as she said this, I felt tiny little cords wrap around my neck and lift me into the air, as even more came out of her free hand. “I might as well tell you how my fighting style is and what V1NL3 is talking about,” she said as she slammed me into a wall and onto the floor, knocking the wind out of me. “As you already know, I am 0CT4V, my fighting is based off of using cords controlled by electric and magnetic pulses to move them and form them as I please,” she said with cords flowing out of her right hand into a treble clef. “And I have been studying you new music genre for a while now, and may I say, it's quite innovative of you,” she stated in a matter-of-fact way, brushing her mane back, “pity, I was hoping you'd have more fight...” her voice becoming slow and indistinguishable. As the world slowly started to fade, darkness invading all sides of my vision, I focused my magic on emitting the new spell slowly as waves of different frequencies being played. “So this is it? That's all you've got? Seem R-3d was flawed to be de-,” Before she could finish her sentence I blasted a powerful wave of sound through the cords around my neck, rupturing her right hand and all the cords to a pathetic metallic stub of sparkling wires. Falling to the floor gasping for air I heard a soft voice in my ear. “Do you want to live Glitch?” The voice asked. “Y-yes,” I managed to cough out still gasping for air. “Then let me take control,” “O-okay.” As the voice chuckled, I felt my magic swirling around me and my vision suddenly cleared, but something was off. I wasn't myself, I felt darkness and hatred over-take my body. The dark force made my body stand up and I could see my reflection in one of the dark tinted windows. My body was being surrounded by a deep lavender hue, the same shade as 0ct4v's eyes, and my eyes then slowly began glowing a blackish purple while my irises turned a dull purple. “Well it seems you've shown your true potential... At least your dark power,” remarked 0ct4v, as the cords form a hand once more and her eyes glowed brighter. “Heh, you don't even know 0ct4v,” with that I began to use the same sound frequency magic to surround my body, and as I opened my hand I focused the sound waves, emitting a constant steady beat that started to make the windows vibrate. As her cords started to dance their way to me, I smiled evilly as the ball of sound-waves began to pulse, dance and flux around and with each other. “You want to see my full potential correct?” “More than anything Glitch,” she said with a confident smile. “You know it's sad that I'm going to have to do this,” I said grimacing as I pointed my palm which was holding the ball of frequencies, at her. “I enjoyed your company while it lasted 0ct4v,” “And yours also Glitch,” she said smiling as her cords started to wrap around my legs “Goodbye,” with that I released the devastating wave of electronic sound-waves barreling towards 0ct4v, slowly tearing her to shreds in the matter of seconds. “WHOAAAAHOO HOO! THAT. WAS. AWESOME!” exclaimed the white robot with blue hair. “Are you always this loud?” “EEYUP!” “So are we going to fight?” “AWWWW YEAH! PAARRRRRTAAAY!” She yelled charging at me. And dang was she fast! I could barely charge up a spell strong enough to make her stumble! She would throw a punch and immediately after she would throw a kick at me and knock me off my feet. But each time she would let me get back up, it was strange, as if she was playing with me... “Enough messing around,” I called to her as I charged a basic magical orb on my horn and slowly transferred it to my hand. “YA SURE LITTLE GUY? I WON'T HOLD BACK,” she called back to me, a slight of uncertainty in her voice. “Yea!” I called back, hell bent on getting in some payback, charging a high frequency spell and moving it to my other hand. Without a word she came charging at me, quickly storing the two magical spells I had charging in my horn she punched me so hard that I went flying into the black tinted window behind me cracking it. AS I slowly slid down the wall and slumped to the floor, I coughed up a small bit of blood. V1nl3 said something, I didn't quite catch, what I said but I did hear, what she said after she seemed to get a response. “AWWW YEAH PARTYYY IS STILL GOIN'!” she wooed as she picked me up by the hind leg and threw me into another window causing my dark aura to fade, leaving my eyes a dark purple. “Enough,” I growled as I brought both spells into one hand as I lunged at her, placing the had which contained both spells I released them, sending her flying into the corner. Staring into the smoke the two blue orbs still sat there bright as day, the soft whirring of her engine still marking that she was there. As I stood there a strange teal box, gray from the darkness, and in the middle of that teal box was a blue ring. As the ring began to grow brighter, the dust and smoke inside the room began to swirl towards the center of the ring, and right when the smoke cleared her chest, which should be gone from the pulse I gave her was revealing what seemed to be a massive speaker! “LET'S DROP THIS SHIT!” She exclaimed as a massive teal beam with small blue beams spun around it. As the beam collided with my belly I was sent flying through the window when everything faded to black, hello darkness.... make them stop..... The EscapeCHAPTER 5: THE ESCAPE The rest of that month was a blur, but I know I was forced through so many tests.... my injury from v1nl3 is still bleeding though not as badly anymore. Thankfully the blast I released into her chest was enough to make the beam only go past my coat and muscle, not damaging any internal organs. Thanks to my alicorn gene, I healed much faster than most. When I next awoke I saw flashing red lights and Nova carrying me. I peered over his shoulder noticing v1nl3 charging another one of her beams, and it seemed that she was charging much faster and getting more energy then before. “BREVE, SHUT DOWN THE ACTIVE V1NL3 THAT'S CHASING US!” “WHY?! WHAT'S GOING ON NOVA?!” “JUST DO IT!” shouted Nova as the white mare turned around and went back into the room she emerged from. As the mare entered into the room, a gray mare who looked like 0ct4v came out of the room. He pressed a series of buttons that closed the door right in front of v1nl3 as she released her beam. “Not to worry Nova, she can't get through that wall,” “That's good to hear,” Nova sighed in relief as he set me down, taking off his jacket and winding it around my belly to stop the bleeding. “And who is this cute little foal?” remarked the 0ct4v look-a-like as she picked me up and cradled me in her arms, most likely the creator of 0ct4v. “That's Glitch, he's badly injured,” “0ct4v.....” I groggily grasped at her pulling her into a weak hug. “Damn that Star.. he had me use my robot to get info from this foal.. then he had the audacity to use it to capture this ones true magical power...” “I feel as bad, mad and angry as you do Alto, even more,” began the white pony. “Hey, Alto, looks like the foal likes you,” snickered the white one. “Oh hush Breve, he's rather cute,” She said gently, thus eliciting a blush from me. “You guys have everything ready?” “Of course we are Nova! The air chariot is on it's way. And we have all the blue prints and wiped the database clean also. So they have no files on our robots,” scoffed Breve. “Good, when is it going to get here?” “Well we should leave now if we're going to make it in time. They're going be sending in the army soon,” “Are you guys gonna sit there and talk or are we gonna go? I just got the message from the pilot that they've landed and we have very short amount of time before they consider us enemies of the country and hunt us down,” called Alto as he carried me out the door under one arm, brief case in the other. “Don't forget your brief case Breve!” Alto called again before turning her com on. “You might want to turn yours on also guys, just in case we get separated.” “Got it,” Breve and Nova called back in unison. After a minute or so I open my eyes to see that we are now in a forest clearing. To the right of me is Alto, talking to the pretty lady... What was her name again? Ah I can't remember. As I quickly put that thought away for another day I look up at what I'm currently laying on and was greeted by an azure mare that I quickly recognized as Luna. “L-luna?” “Yes little one? What is it?” She asked softly stroking my mane gently. “Why are you here? Where's Nova and Breve?” “Don't worry little one, they're at the castle giving a report to the generals,” Luna calmly informed me. “That's good,” I sighed in relief, rubbing my stomach. I noticed that it was no longer sore. “My sister healed you when we met up with the chariot carrying you,” “Glitch!” I heard somepony yell. Turning to the source, I was unexpectedly pulled into a big hug. “Alto,” I said returning a hug. “Am I finally going to be safe from that scary place?” “Y-yes you are, no need to worry anymore,” she said stroking my mane gently, her voice getting shaky. “Are you Glitch little one?” inquired the pretty lady, her name was..... Celestia! “Yes, Celestia, I am Glitch,” As she leaned down, the tip of her horn glowing slightly as it touched the base of my horn everything went black as I quickly made friends with the floor once more. Forgetting the PastCHAPTER 6: FORGETTING THE PAST As I awoke from my fitful sleep I was peering up into a blue ceiling that had a bright orange and yellow sun with a marble moon inside it. To the right of this symbol there was bright yellow stars, to the left was a bunch of fluffy little clouds that looked like tiny little rabbits. As I slowly clambered out of bed I looked at the room. I had never seen this room before but it seemed oddly familiar. Investigating the room further I realized it was far larger than a room should be for a foal my age. Wandering around a bit more I discover various instruments and a large mirror. As I walked towards the mirror I looked at my reflection. My right eye was a dark purple, and as I stared at it flashes of memories flooded my skull. Averting my focus to my left eye, I noticed it was green. Turning my focus back to the walls, I noticed they were also a blue except with various symbols in a fancy pattern that I quickly recognized as Nova's, Alto's, and Breve's cutie marks, with a Treble clef here and there. After admiring the marks on the walls I turn my attention to where a cello, violin, and piano is sitting off on the opposite side of the room. Along with those instruments were multiple small stacks of sheet music. After shuffling through the semi-complex sheets of music I turned to a door and opened it. The room I entered seemed to be an library or observatory due to the upper and lower floors. It was stacked high with all sorts of books, along with a giant window in the upper level of the room with a petite and ill fitting telescope. As I carefully walked down the steps I turned right to see big brown double doors leading out of the room, which is just an intelligent assumption. Approaching the door I hesitantly peered out the window on the upper level, admiring the beautiful sky where a few birds flew around and one or two clouds lazily floated across the sky. For some reason I had this nagging feeling that if I opened that door I would regret it, but ignoring my better judgment, I grasped the handle of the door and slowly pushed it open. I quickly regretted this, as the door crept open my eyes dilated and shot wide, seeing nothing but a wide expanse of pure darkness. Not even Celestia's sun could pierce this. Sitting there I slowly closed the door and heard murmurs in my head. “My dear little brother,” The voice I quickly remembered as Luna began. “Turn around please,” As I turned I was faced with an azure mare, possibly the same size as Celestia. “Sister?” “Yes Glitch, it's me, but I have to talk with you,” She said sitting down in front of me motioning me to sit next to her. As I cantered over next to her and sat down I looked up into her sad turquoise eyes. “Why do you look so sad Luna?” “L-little brother I-I have to tell you something,” She said her voice beginning to crack. “What is it?” “At the moment you're in a coma of sorts,” “A coma?” “Yes, or that's the simplest way to put it,” “Wait what does this mean sister?” “W-when Celestia wiped your memory you passed out. It's been a few day's so in order to keep you from losing out on your life, we put you into the universe perse,” “So... I'm never going to see Alto or any one else?” “It's a strong possibility, I'm sorry Glitch,” Dumb struck, I sat there staring at my hooves, tears flowing freely from my eyes. As I sat there realizing that I may never see them again Luna wrapped her forehoof around my shoulder and pulled me close. This action of kindness caused me to sob into her coat loudly. “Shhhh, I will take a picture so you'll have at least one memory of them, there will be four pictures in all. They will each get one picture by themselves, and they will put their signatures on it, and whatever they wish to say to you,” with that she got up and walked towards the door. “I have to go for now, I'll try to visit you as much as possible,” “Okay...,” I said gloomily as she opened the door and left into the darkness. The next few days were dull and boring. Then one day I could hear somepony crying from no known location. “Hello?” The crying continued. “Anypony there?” “I-I'm going to leave you a robot with my personality and what they call... 'Soul' inside of it, it'll be offline until when-ever you wake up. Okay Glitch?” sobbed the voice quietly. As I heard the hoof steps slowly faded away I decided to fall back asleep in this celestial prison. Tears trickling down my face as my eye's slid closed as sleep over took me. Sweet sweet sleep...
BeginningsThe Story of a Prince CHAPTER 1: BEGINNINGS bang bang “Ugh, WHO IS IT?!” “IT'S ME, NYX! WAKE UP DASHING WIND!” Shouted a man in jet black clad armor, his skin was a deep black matching his armor. He also had dark purple hair and light blue eye's. As the man anxiously awaited the arrival of his friend, he could hear from outside of the house various items falling onto the floor. There then was the sound of shuffling clothes and rustling as various clanks of the locks came undone. As the door flung open, a gray skinned man with messy light blonde hair and tired, lazy yellow eyes stood in the doorway. “You might want to brush your hair, Dashing, I need you to send this letter for me. It's urgent.” “Pff well obviously you were willing to- wait, why would I need to brush my mane?” “You're delivering a letter to the princess herself,” Said Nyx, with a stern face. “SERIOUSLY! HOLD ON!” Said Dashing in an over the top reaction that he usually got at stuff like this. As the door slammed the man in the black armor sighed as he waited. A few minuets later Dashing wind opened the door quickly, his hair still a little messy but to a respectful degree. “To The Princess right?” “Eeyup.” “Got it, give me the letter,” said Dashing with a look of confidence. Nyx couldn't help but chuckle at this confidence as he handed the letter off to the now flying Dashing Wind, whose wings unfurled. As Dashing Wind flew off, he headed across the skies towards the pristine white castle only a few blocks away from his house. “Man this castle was always so huge,” commented Dashing as he admired the castle which now had a beautiful sunrise peaking above the distant mountains behind it. No words could describe this morning, which would soon bring delightful news to the kingdom. “Always loved Canterlot during the Princess's sunrise and sunset, heck I enjoy Luna's beautiful night here too! The beautiful stars....,” As unwanted memories started filling Dashing's mind he shook it off as he neared the castle. Circling the castle once, he quickly spied the multicolor mane of the princess. It flowed freely without any sort of wind, her crown and boots glistening from the early morning rays. Her fair white skin made every other unname-able feature shimmer and glisten, and at the same time her horn slowly stopped shining the brilliant gold that matched his eyes. “Princess Celestia, a letter for you from Nyx!” Shouted Dashing as Celestia looked at him with a warm, gentle smile. “It seems so dashing,” she says with a smile that would make the devil himself melt. As Dashing handed of the letter, Celestia took it in her golden magical grip. “Thank you, now if you'll excuse me I have a letter to read,” Celestia turned around and walked back into her room as he bowed.

THE FILLY SEEMS TO BE AN ALICORN (MYTHOLOGICAL BEING THAT HAS WINGS HORN AND BODY OF A HORSE. CAN USE MAGIC TO MOVE THE HEAVENS) Dear Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, Earlier this morning a guard running the morning shift noticed a suspicious character leaving a basket at the castle gates. Guard Dawn Shield, attempted to pursue the suspect only to lose her in the dense fog. The only traces left behind were a few tear drops collected by the M.I.S.T(MAGICAL INVESTIGATION SURVEILLENCE TEAM). After reporting to me and searching the surrounding area thoroughly, he heard something coming from the basket. Upon investigating the basket within the guard house, he discovered a small alicorn foal, no older than a few months. The only thing we know is that the foal was born like this, information brought to us from M.I.S.T, and a note inscribed to the royal sisters. If you have any further questions find me. Sincerely, Commander of the Guard, Nyx As she set the letter down on the desk, she slowly rubbed her eyes after using her magic to pick up her glasses up off of her snout, and with an elegant golden glow, setting them beside the letter. As she looked into her fire-place, she listened to the gentle snaps of the embers. She rose slowly from the seat at her desk and walked to her balcony, her long multicolored hair flowing as if in a breeze behind her. As she approached, her balcony doors opened. “Well this is an interesting turn of events isn't it Starswirl?” said Celestia. Stars stood a attention when the queen looked up, “I agree your majesty!” “Star Swirl you know how I feel about such formalities,” Celestia deadpanned. “And you know how I am about formalities, your highness,” Star Swirl replied with a smirk. “Ah, I know that all too well, Star Swirl,” Celestia replied with a light chuckle, “And that's exactly why I have you as my personal and royal adviser and the leader of M.I.S.T.” “And I thank you for that princess,” Star Swirl said with a deep bow. “Now about this alicorn foal.... What should I do?” “A new alicorn born in these times.... even I don't know what to do. But I think it would be best if you would allow M.I.S.T to study the foal,” As these words left Star Swirl's muzzle, Celestia furrowed her brow with concern as she pondered this.(Should I let M.I.S.T take the foal and use it for scientific gain?... No I'll take care of the child myself and raise him like a younger brother and let him think we're family but I would really like to know the physiology of my species.... ) “What will it be princess?”Asked Star Swirl with a raise of his brow. “Let's see after a few months, okay Star?” “Thank you my majesty,” Star said as his smile broadened, “and don't worry the foal will be in good hands!” He commented under his breath as he chuckled softly and turned to leave the room, “That foalish foalish princess heh heh.” Author's Note Hello. Welcome to my first fanfiction. It may not be very good but I'm always striving to make my stories better. Oh and before I forget. THANKS FOR READING. sincerely. Prince Glitch (octavia)
M.I.S.T LABORITORIESChapter 2: M.I.S.T LABORATORIES Month 1 since the foal was found, the princess and Star Swirl allowed analysis of the alicorn foal. So much progress has been made to the physiology, magical intelligence and power! It makes me cringe to think of what the princesses could do at full power... This foal has enough magical power to tear open Magis Titanium Alloy! Not even Star Swirl the Bearded, the master of magic, can do that, he can't even make a dent in it! Month 2. This is amazing! The foal has gained sentience and begun making out words in order to communicate! What intelligence this foal has. Normal foals can't start forming a single word at 5 months. Month 3. Star Swirl proposed to me and three others to commence secret experiments to see the power of this foal, as I write this down we are moving the subject to a secluded area. The rest of us don't know where we are going, we were blindfolded while we were transferred. I'm scared, what if the princess finds out? Month 4. I regret working for M.I.S.T. I have to do something for this poor foal, I can't stand to hear his howls of pain as we experiment. Just today we pulled out a liter of his blood so Star Swirl can experiment with it. I haven't seen my wife since we left, she stopped sending letters. Month 5. I'm going to resign today, the tests are getting more unorthodox and brutal each day. Star has been getting a little on edge on trying to figure out how strong the foal is when under pressure and threatened. The foal understands words and can speak fluently now. He seems to be a fan of classical music, so in an attempt to apologize I'll leave him my collection of classical music and a record player so he can at least enjoy his time just a little bit. My heart shatters for this foal ... Month 5. I just passed by the foals room, he was screaming as Star Swirl and the other scientists were putting him through those 'tests'. I swore I heard him begging them to stop as I passed. This isn't science... Month 6. OH GOD, THE PRINCESS HAS ISSUED A NATION WIDE SEARCH FOR US! I ASKED IF I COULD BE LET OUT OF THIS HORRID TESTING LAST MONTH BUT HE THREATENED TO HAVE MY FAMILY SLAUGHTERED IF I DON'T CO-OPPERATE! I'M GETTING OUT EITHER WAY, AND I'M TAKING THE FOAL WITH ME! I'M GOING TO GET MY WIFE AND PHILLIES AND RUN TO THE PRINCESSES! STAR SWIRL JUST BEGAN USING VARIOUS DRUGS TO SEE HIS REACTION! THE FOAL WAS CRYING OUT THAT HE FELT LIKE HIS EYES WERE MELTING AND THAT EVERY LIMB IN HIS BODY WAS BEING BURNED! Month 7. If you are reading this it means that I have begun my attempt to rescue the foal. I ask this of you my trusted student, I shall leave your name out in order to protect you. RUN I EMPLOR, RUN! It's not safe anymore, get out of there as soon as you can.
M.I.S.T LABORATORIES (GLITCH PERSPECTIVE)Chapter 3: M.I.S.T LABORITORIES (GLITCH) They call me subject GL1TCH, and I don’t understand what that means but it’s what they call me. The ponies here scare me, they wear these scary masks and goggles and use all sorts of scary objects on me, they tell me that it’s just to check my vitals. I can understand what they’re saying, but I can’t quite talk yet. They are surprised that I can reply to them with a nod or any other body motion. They're telling me it's month 2 of me being here in this nation they call Equestria. “So this place, they call it Equestria?” “W-w-w-wha, u-um yes they do,” the scientist sputtered stupidly. “Why are you acting so surprised? Don't most foals my age talk?” I said whilst tilting my head. “ W-well, no they dont,” As we continued to have our conversation about why foals my age don't have the ability to talk, a pony not wearing a mask or goggles came in with a soft smile. He had pale white skin just like the pretty lady up in the window, and just like that bearded pony. The pretty lady is only up there once or twice a day, though. “Hey there little guy! Is it okay if I call you Glitch?” “G-glitch?” “Eeyup,” “Sure, what's your name?” I said with the tilt of my head. “hmmmmm,” The stranger carefully pondered, tapping his hoof on his chin. “You may call me Nova, m'kay?” “Okay,” I replied with a warm smile. The man they call Star Swirl told me they're taking me somewhere scary. He put this sack over my head and and was taking me somewhere... “WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!” I shouted while flailing under the scientists arms. “SHUT UP YOU ANNOYING FOAL!” One of the scientists shouted, shaking me by the mane. “GENTLE WITH SUBJECT GL1TCH YOU INSOLENT SWINES!” Barked a man who sounded old. “Sorry sir,” The scientist replied to whom I presumed to be Star Swirl. “I'm sorry 'bout that G1CH it WON'T happen again,” Star Swirl said with the emphases on the “won't”. Soon after I felt something small and sharp like a needle go into my neck and my eyelids grew heavy, with a yawn I soon fell asleep. When I next awoke I was in a small padded florescent white room, with lights that hurt my eyes when I opened them. As soon my eyes adjusted to the room I scanned my surroundings, all that was in the room was me, a big black mirror wall thing, a small table with straps on it, and a big metal door. (They told me when I was one month old that I tore open one of the strongest metals in Equestria.... I wonder if I could smash this and get out of here.) As I stared at the door I diverted my attention at the black tinted glass window, I guess that's where Star is. Luna hasn't talked to me since I got here. “How long was I asleep?” “For about a day or two Glitch,” “Nova?” I replied to the voice kind of relieved that at least there was one familiar voice in this scary place. “Eeyup, miss me?” “Yea! And I also don't seem to have my books on magic and history with me,” I said looking at my hooves dejectedly. “Oh, you mean these books?” Nova holds up to thick textbooks. As I eyed them he smiles triumphantly. “I can't forget my little buddy's favorites books now can I?” He said with a big smile. As he handed the books over to me I snatched them up with a great big smile. “Thanks Nova,” “No problem little guy, hey Star is going to come in and take some blood from you okay?” “O-okay,” I replied with a small hint of fear in my voice. “Hey hey, I need you to be a strong little filly okay? I'll be gone for a bit but I’ll try and visit you whenever I can okay?” “Okay Nova,” “Okay well I have to go now, see you soon!” He exclaimed as he waved goodbye. Soon after he had left, Star came in holding a big syringe and approached slowly while after him was two other colts. “What are you going to do with that big scary needle?” “It's nothing to fret about little one, I’m only going to take a little bit of your blood,” said Star Swirl as he approached me with the needle, an ominous grin splayed across his face. “It won't hurt much, but you'll get a big dinner after...,” Star said calmly as the two scientists began to pick me up and strap me down as I attempted to fight back. “No stop i-,” I was quickly cut off as a long leather muzzles was fixed across my face, and my fore legs and hind legs were strapped down and the needle inched closer to my right foreleg. As horror broke my usual happy face, his smile widened along with some chuckling as I winced in pain from the needle sliding deep into my arm, hitting a vein and drawing out a large amount of blood. “MMMMMMMMMF!” “Hush now silly little foal, it'll only sting and be sore when I'm done,” The days after are just a blur... As I awoke from my fitful, yet painful sleep I trudged out of bed and looked around to find myself in a room with nothing inside but a bunch of tinted glass windows on all 4 walls. “Hello? Anypony there?” “GL1TCH, we're going to do some experiments testing your magical strength and capabilities. You may get hurt during these tests and only when you're in critical condition or you destroyed every last one of the beings that we are going to release into your room,” “W-what?” “Good-luck,” Before I could ask what was going on three weird balls were slowly lowered into my room from the ceiling, startled I readied my magic, an iridescent glow surrounding my horn, and my wings fully unfurled as the objects plopped to the ground with a soft thud. As I waited the three objects started to unfold themselves and started to stand with some beeps and bops and started to whir to life, their black glass eyes started to glow. The one to the right eye's glowed a deep crimson, the one to the left eye's glowed a bright cyan blue, and the one in the middle eyes glowed an ominous deep purple. Each one had markings on its chest, r-3d, 0ct4v, and V1nl3. “R-3D HAS VISUAL OF TARGET, REQUESTING ORDERS FROM HQ,” R-3d said in a rustic, obviously synthesized voice. “Affirmative, 0ct4v has sight on the target,” Said 0ct4v in an elegant and conserved tone. “YEA! V1NL3 GOT TARGETS ON THE TARGET ALSO!” exclaimed V1nl3 in a rambunctious and slightly female voice. “This is HQ, you have permission to exterminate,” said Star “EXTERMINATE,” “Extermination,” “YEEEEEAH! EXTERMINATION TIME HERE WE GO!” “On one condition pon-bots. Attack one at a time,” “AFFIRMATIVE, CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER,”
Battle for my lifeCHAPTER 4: BATTLE FOR MY LIFE “Oh Glitch before you start your fight, 'Nova' left you his collection of his music and his record player, now back to your fight,” After Star Swirls comment, r-3d began charging at me once more readying his fists. Charging my magic, I closed my eyes to gather all the elements in the air for the blast, but as I opened my eyes to find r-3d, he is no-where to be seen. When I looked up to the top of the room two metallic hooves crash down into my face with a loud THUD. His hooves made contact with my face I quickly focused my magic to my hooves and face, to help soften his impact. When I felt that he had came to a complete stop, I grabbed him and focused on charging my attack once more. “TARGET HAS A HOLD ON UNIT R-3D, MOTORS IN LEGS SEEM TO HAVE MALFUNCTIONED DUE TO UNKNOWN SPELL MAKING CONTACT WITH MOTORS. ERROR ERROR!” “SHUT UP YOU STUPID HUNK OF JUNK!” I shouted at the robot as I released a powerful wave of magic out of my horn, sending r-3d into the air without his legs. As I flurry of sparks emitted from r-3d leg sockets. “R-3D 'UNINTELLIGBLE' HAS TAKEN MASSIVE DAMAGE. SHUTING DOWN,” said r-3d as he soared through the air with his engine quieting, and his deep crimson eyes slowly dimming to a deep black void. Dropping his legs I looked at the one with 0ct4v on its chest. “It seems that it's my turn now doesn't it?” remarked the gray coated and black mane robot known as 0ct4v. She walked up to me. “So I heard you enjoy classical music?” “Yes I do. But I have also been creating my own music genre also,” “Really now?” 0ct4v commented as she, or what I presumed as a she, tilted her head, her black mane floating lazily with her head. “Yes I have.” “Mind if I listen to this new music genre you tell me about?” “Hmmm, I think it would be best if I showed you, but, before I do, I have a question.” “Ask away young colt,” “Aren't you programmed to exterminate who ever you're ordered to?” I asked with a questioning stare as I lowered my guard slightly. “Yes, but I'm also programmed to take interest in music also-,” “YEA! CAUSE OF 0CT4V HERE, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CREATED! WELL WITH SOME HELP FROM YOU ALSO!” “What does sh-,” I felt a tight cold grip around my neck and I grasped at it, attempting to loosen its grip. “Sorry to be so abrupt, but I have neglected my duties for long enough,” as she said this, I felt tiny little cords wrap around my neck and lift me into the air, as even more came out of her free hand. “I might as well tell you how my fighting style is and what V1NL3 is talking about,” she said as she slammed me into a wall and onto the floor, knocking the wind out of me. “As you already know, I am 0CT4V, my fighting is based off of using cords controlled by electric and magnetic pulses to move them and form them as I please,” she said with cords flowing out of her right hand into a treble clef. “And I have been studying you new music genre for a while now, and may I say, it's quite innovative of you,” she stated in a matter-of-fact way, brushing her mane back, “pity, I was hoping you'd have more fight...” her voice becoming slow and indistinguishable. As the world slowly started to fade, darkness invading all sides of my vision, I focused my magic on emitting the new spell slowly as waves of different frequencies being played. “So this is it? That's all you've got? Seem R-3d was flawed to be de-,” Before she could finish her sentence I blasted a powerful wave of sound through the cords around my neck, rupturing her right hand and all the cords to a pathetic metallic stub of sparkling wires. Falling to the floor gasping for air I heard a soft voice in my ear. “Do you want to live Glitch?” The voice asked. “Y-yes,” I managed to cough out still gasping for air. “Then let me take control,” “O-okay.” As the voice chuckled, I felt my magic swirling around me and my vision suddenly cleared, but something was off. I wasn't myself, I felt darkness and hatred over-take my body. The dark force made my body stand up and I could see my reflection in one of the dark tinted windows. My body was being surrounded by a deep lavender hue, the same shade as 0ct4v's eyes, and my eyes then slowly began glowing a blackish purple while my irises turned a dull purple. “Well it seems you've shown your true potential... At least your dark power,” remarked 0ct4v, as the cords form a hand once more and her eyes glowed brighter. “Heh, you don't even know 0ct4v,” with that I began to use the same sound frequency magic to surround my body, and as I opened my hand I focused the sound waves, emitting a constant steady beat that started to make the windows vibrate. As her cords started to dance their way to me, I smiled evilly as the ball of sound-waves began to pulse, dance and flux around and with each other. “You want to see my full potential correct?” “More than anything Glitch,” she said with a confident smile. “You know it's sad that I'm going to have to do this,” I said grimacing as I pointed my palm which was holding the ball of frequencies, at her. “I enjoyed your company while it lasted 0ct4v,” “And yours also Glitch,” she said smiling as her cords started to wrap around my legs “Goodbye,” with that I released the devastating wave of electronic sound-waves barreling towards 0ct4v, slowly tearing her to shreds in the matter of seconds. “WHOAAAAHOO HOO! THAT. WAS. AWESOME!” exclaimed the white robot with blue hair. “Are you always this loud?” “EEYUP!” “So are we going to fight?” “AWWWW YEAH! PAARRRRRTAAAY!” She yelled charging at me. And dang was she fast! I could barely charge up a spell strong enough to make her stumble! She would throw a punch and immediately after she would throw a kick at me and knock me off my feet. But each time she would let me get back up, it was strange, as if she was playing with me... “Enough messing around,” I called to her as I charged a basic magical orb on my horn and slowly transferred it to my hand. “YA SURE LITTLE GUY? I WON'T HOLD BACK,” she called back to me, a slight of uncertainty in her voice. “Yea!” I called back, hell bent on getting in some payback, charging a high frequency spell and moving it to my other hand. Without a word she came charging at me, quickly storing the two magical spells I had charging in my horn she punched me so hard that I went flying into the black tinted window behind me cracking it. AS I slowly slid down the wall and slumped to the floor, I coughed up a small bit of blood. V1nl3 said something, I didn't quite catch, what I said but I did hear, what she said after she seemed to get a response. “AWWW YEAH PARTYYY IS STILL GOIN'!” she wooed as she picked me up by the hind leg and threw me into another window causing my dark aura to fade, leaving my eyes a dark purple. “Enough,” I growled as I brought both spells into one hand as I lunged at her, placing the had which contained both spells I released them, sending her flying into the corner. Staring into the smoke the two blue orbs still sat there bright as day, the soft whirring of her engine still marking that she was there. As I stood there a strange teal box, gray from the darkness, and in the middle of that teal box was a blue ring. As the ring began to grow brighter, the dust and smoke inside the room began to swirl towards the center of the ring, and right when the smoke cleared her chest, which should be gone from the pulse I gave her was revealing what seemed to be a massive speaker! “LET'S DROP THIS SHIT!” She exclaimed as a massive teal beam with small blue beams spun around it. As the beam collided with my belly I was sent flying through the window when everything faded to black, hello darkness.... make them stop.....
The EscapeCHAPTER 5: THE ESCAPE The rest of that month was a blur, but I know I was forced through so many tests.... my injury from v1nl3 is still bleeding though not as badly anymore. Thankfully the blast I released into her chest was enough to make the beam only go past my coat and muscle, not damaging any internal organs. Thanks to my alicorn gene, I healed much faster than most. When I next awoke I saw flashing red lights and Nova carrying me. I peered over his shoulder noticing v1nl3 charging another one of her beams, and it seemed that she was charging much faster and getting more energy then before. “BREVE, SHUT DOWN THE ACTIVE V1NL3 THAT'S CHASING US!” “WHY?! WHAT'S GOING ON NOVA?!” “JUST DO IT!” shouted Nova as the white mare turned around and went back into the room she emerged from. As the mare entered into the room, a gray mare who looked like 0ct4v came out of the room. He pressed a series of buttons that closed the door right in front of v1nl3 as she released her beam. “Not to worry Nova, she can't get through that wall,” “That's good to hear,” Nova sighed in relief as he set me down, taking off his jacket and winding it around my belly to stop the bleeding. “And who is this cute little foal?” remarked the 0ct4v look-a-like as she picked me up and cradled me in her arms, most likely the creator of 0ct4v. “That's Glitch, he's badly injured,” “0ct4v.....” I groggily grasped at her pulling her into a weak hug. “Damn that Star.. he had me use my robot to get info from this foal.. then he had the audacity to use it to capture this ones true magical power...” “I feel as bad, mad and angry as you do Alto, even more,” began the white pony. “Hey, Alto, looks like the foal likes you,” snickered the white one. “Oh hush Breve, he's rather cute,” She said gently, thus eliciting a blush from me. “You guys have everything ready?” “Of course we are Nova! The air chariot is on it's way. And we have all the blue prints and wiped the database clean also. So they have no files on our robots,” scoffed Breve. “Good, when is it going to get here?” “Well we should leave now if we're going to make it in time. They're going be sending in the army soon,” “Are you guys gonna sit there and talk or are we gonna go? I just got the message from the pilot that they've landed and we have very short amount of time before they consider us enemies of the country and hunt us down,” called Alto as he carried me out the door under one arm, brief case in the other. “Don't forget your brief case Breve!” Alto called again before turning her com on. “You might want to turn yours on also guys, just in case we get separated.” “Got it,” Breve and Nova called back in unison. After a minute or so I open my eyes to see that we are now in a forest clearing. To the right of me is Alto, talking to the pretty lady... What was her name again? Ah I can't remember. As I quickly put that thought away for another day I look up at what I'm currently laying on and was greeted by an azure mare that I quickly recognized as Luna. “L-luna?” “Yes little one? What is it?” She asked softly stroking my mane gently. “Why are you here? Where's Nova and Breve?” “Don't worry little one, they're at the castle giving a report to the generals,” Luna calmly informed me. “That's good,” I sighed in relief, rubbing my stomach. I noticed that it was no longer sore. “My sister healed you when we met up with the chariot carrying you,” “Glitch!” I heard somepony yell. Turning to the source, I was unexpectedly pulled into a big hug. “Alto,” I said returning a hug. “Am I finally going to be safe from that scary place?” “Y-yes you are, no need to worry anymore,” she said stroking my mane gently, her voice getting shaky. “Are you Glitch little one?” inquired the pretty lady, her name was..... Celestia! “Yes, Celestia, I am Glitch,” As she leaned down, the tip of her horn glowing slightly as it touched the base of my horn everything went black as I quickly made friends with the floor once more.
Forgetting the PastCHAPTER 6: FORGETTING THE PAST As I awoke from my fitful sleep I was peering up into a blue ceiling that had a bright orange and yellow sun with a marble moon inside it. To the right of this symbol there was bright yellow stars, to the left was a bunch of fluffy little clouds that looked like tiny little rabbits. As I slowly clambered out of bed I looked at the room. I had never seen this room before but it seemed oddly familiar. Investigating the room further I realized it was far larger than a room should be for a foal my age. Wandering around a bit more I discover various instruments and a large mirror. As I walked towards the mirror I looked at my reflection. My right eye was a dark purple, and as I stared at it flashes of memories flooded my skull. Averting my focus to my left eye, I noticed it was green. Turning my focus back to the walls, I noticed they were also a blue except with various symbols in a fancy pattern that I quickly recognized as Nova's, Alto's, and Breve's cutie marks, with a Treble clef here and there. After admiring the marks on the walls I turn my attention to where a cello, violin, and piano is sitting off on the opposite side of the room. Along with those instruments were multiple small stacks of sheet music. After shuffling through the semi-complex sheets of music I turned to a door and opened it. The room I entered seemed to be an library or observatory due to the upper and lower floors. It was stacked high with all sorts of books, along with a giant window in the upper level of the room with a petite and ill fitting telescope. As I carefully walked down the steps I turned right to see big brown double doors leading out of the room, which is just an intelligent assumption. Approaching the door I hesitantly peered out the window on the upper level, admiring the beautiful sky where a few birds flew around and one or two clouds lazily floated across the sky. For some reason I had this nagging feeling that if I opened that door I would regret it, but ignoring my better judgment, I grasped the handle of the door and slowly pushed it open. I quickly regretted this, as the door crept open my eyes dilated and shot wide, seeing nothing but a wide expanse of pure darkness. Not even Celestia's sun could pierce this. Sitting there I slowly closed the door and heard murmurs in my head. “My dear little brother,” The voice I quickly remembered as Luna began. “Turn around please,” As I turned I was faced with an azure mare, possibly the same size as Celestia. “Sister?” “Yes Glitch, it's me, but I have to talk with you,” She said sitting down in front of me motioning me to sit next to her. As I cantered over next to her and sat down I looked up into her sad turquoise eyes. “Why do you look so sad Luna?” “L-little brother I-I have to tell you something,” She said her voice beginning to crack. “What is it?” “At the moment you're in a coma of sorts,” “A coma?” “Yes, or that's the simplest way to put it,” “Wait what does this mean sister?” “W-when Celestia wiped your memory you passed out. It's been a few day's so in order to keep you from losing out on your life, we put you into the universe perse,” “So... I'm never going to see Alto or any one else?” “It's a strong possibility, I'm sorry Glitch,” Dumb struck, I sat there staring at my hooves, tears flowing freely from my eyes. As I sat there realizing that I may never see them again Luna wrapped her forehoof around my shoulder and pulled me close. This action of kindness caused me to sob into her coat loudly. “Shhhh, I will take a picture so you'll have at least one memory of them, there will be four pictures in all. They will each get one picture by themselves, and they will put their signatures on it, and whatever they wish to say to you,” with that she got up and walked towards the door. “I have to go for now, I'll try to visit you as much as possible,” “Okay...,” I said gloomily as she opened the door and left into the darkness. The next few days were dull and boring. Then one day I could hear somepony crying from no known location. “Hello?” The crying continued. “Anypony there?” “I-I'm going to leave you a robot with my personality and what they call... 'Soul' inside of it, it'll be offline until when-ever you wake up. Okay Glitch?” sobbed the voice quietly. As I heard the hoof steps slowly faded away I decided to fall back asleep in this celestial prison. Tears trickling down my face as my eye's slid closed as sleep over took me. Sweet sweet sleep...
