//------------------------------// // Ch.1 It Begins // Story: [Prototype] Friendship is a virus // by Redxmrpimpen //------------------------------// Ch.1 It Begins My name is twilight sparkle or zeus as other know me It’s been three weeks since the outbreak happened. Everyone I knew and everyone I had trusted either betrayed me or were killed by my hooves. Queen Celestia had ordered the containment of Pony Ville as to not let the virus spread. That proved useless as some infected ponies had escaped and spread the disease through New Mane City. Soon everything went to hay. Ponies screamed as they saw family and friends’ being taken away by the Black Wing, it was the first time anypony saw violence, but they were going to have to get used to it. They were called in by Celestia to keep us all in here; their captain, Luna, was ruthless she ordered anyone that was believed to be infected to be killed on sight and they did just that, Celestia approved of all this, hay she was the one who gave Luna permission to do anything to get the job done, and I was lead to believe she cared for her subjects she just turned Equestria into a war zone. The Elements of Harmony my flank, none of that proved to help, hopeless and all out of options some of my friends joined the Black Wing betraying me, one actually created the virus another was used as an experiment for them. It was obvious what I had to do after that betrayal. Now they are all inside me, I can hear their thoughts in me; they have become part of me. I had trusted Celestia and now she marked me as a terrorist and a killer sadly I am those things. I tried to do right but failed and because of that this has happened. I guess I should start from the top and tell you how all this came to be it’s a sad and gruesome tale that I will gladly fill you in on. Two stallions were standing over a dead pony that was brought to the morgue three days ago. One of the stallions looked at the body and said into a mic. “August 21 2015 we are about to dissect the anonymous body it is a mare, purple haired, Unicorn cause of death is unknown, I am now going to cut open the chest”. The doctor looked at the other stallion “Hand me an 8” scalpel”. Just as the stallion was going to hand him the scalpel Twilight woke up gasping and suddenly sitting up. The two stallions looked at her in shock and ran out not believing their eyes. While they were running out some Black Wings Pegasus flew down from the sky hearing screams. They landed in front of the stallions screaming, “Don’t move or we’ll shoot” one of the stallion ran into a Black Wing soldier he was shot straight in between the eye his skull cracked once his head hit the pavement his brains slowly oozing out. The other groaned at the sight of his co workers brains, he was shot repeatedly on the body; he went limp and hit the floor. Back With Twilight I ran out of the morgue wondering how I got their when I heard gunshots and a sickening crack. I went to go check it out; when I got there I saw one of the employees from the morgue get shot by the Black Wing. I was hiding behind a chariot when I heard someone scream “There she is kill her” I didn’t know why they wanted me dead but I just started to run. I guess I made a wrong turn because suddenly I was cornered. Everything went black when they opened fire and my whole body burned. Some time had passed because I woke up with a small burning sensation I looked as the bullet wounds closed up and soon faded, the first thing that crossed my mind was oh my Celestia I’m ALIVE. I screamed at the top of my lungs "WHAT HAVE I BECOME" not believing what had just happened. I heard some Black Wing coming to check were I had supposedly died. I jumped over a wall and hit the floor hard I sat there for a while when I looked up I couldn't believe my eyes. I saw Rainbow Dash walking towards me pointing a gun at my head. I looked at her “RAINBOW DASH DON’T SHOOT IT’S ME TWILIGHT” she looked at me straight in the eyes with anger, and said something I would never forget. “You’re dead to me Twilight how could you just go and do something like this “She paced back and forth continuing her rant, “do you know what New Mane City is like, it’s gone to hay, everpony is dying because of what you did", she quickly turned to look at me with an angry glare, "that’s why I joined the Black Wing I wanted to take you down I couldn't just let you get away with what you did" She looked at the floor with a sad face yet still with anger in her voice, “because of you I lost contact to all our friends and I can’t forgive you for that”, She quickly drew her gun to my face, “I’m just doing my duty you FUCKING SON OF A BITCH” she shot me in the face, everything went black. But I soon woke up and started to get up slowly. Rainbow Dash was talking to someone on her head piece “Zeus is down I repeat Zeus is down need a pickup”. I got closer to her making sure she didn’t hear me, rage building inside me for what she had just done not believing my friend just did that. I got close to her and grabbed her from behind wrapping my hoof around her waist she started screaming,” LET GO OF ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT YOUR DEAD I SAW YOU FALL” I don’t know what happened after that all I remember is that I punched her in the back trying to get her to stop moving but instead I punched through her back breaking her spine with a loud crack covering my hoof in blood, she started to scream in pain her eyes rolling back and blood filling her mouth and suddenly I saw her dissolve and go into me, I started to get a massive headache and soon I could see all her thoughts. Private Rainbow Dash- Web of intrigue Black Wing Officer: Where are all her known friends or relatives especially the mane six? RD: Don’t know sir, I’m one of them but the rest split up after what happened never heard from them again. Black Wing Officer: You sure Rainbow Dash we know you were close with Zeus and her dragon. RD: Well now that you mention it Spike does live in New Mane City he moved from Pony Ville without telling Twilight. Black Wing Officer: and you barely tell us this. Well where is he now. RD: He’s living in a small apartment 10 miles away from Mare Tech Black Wing: Alright well be sending a strike team to that location we need to remove all alias of Zeus. RD: Roger Commander ill keep patrolling the area she might come by here. As soon as I saw all this my headache was gone soon I felt like something was creeping all over my body I looked down and noticed this slug go over me it felt painful and burning, suddenly it stopped and I looked at my hoofs I was wearing the same uniform that Rainbow Dash was wearing I looked into a little puddle and looked at my face what stared back at me scared the shit out of me, “oh my Celestia…I’m…I’m..RAINBOWDASH!!!” I couldn't believe it I was in the body of my ex friend, I looked at my new body and I had to admit she wasn’t half bad looking in this uniform. Soon a Black Wing appeared and noticed that I was checking myself out I looked up a bit startled “Uhm...Uh...Nothing to report sir.” He looked at me like I was out of it “What the fuck was she just doing...ugh got to concentrate" He shook his head and looked back at me with a serious face, "I just came by to tell you were going to that dragons apartment remember you’re the one who called in the raid " He started to walk away"this is why mares shouldn’t be allowed to serve in the Black Wing to distracting". I started to panic, I couldn’t just follow the guys who were trying to kill me but I had no choice, “Oh Uhm right now I remember, we should get going then”. I looked at the ground why did I say that just play it smooth Twi you might be able to reach Spike’s apartment without them knowing it’s you, but I need a diversion in order to get out unnoticed.” I started following the soldier when I had an idea on how to leave.”Hey you come here” the BW soldier turned “ugh what does she want now, Yes what do you OOFFF...MY...MY BALLS” That was pretty much my escape plan after I bucked him in the jewels "he won't be having fillies anytime soon" I used my new found wings to fly out of their “So this is what it feels like to fly I can see everything from up here, now where could spike be I have all of RD’s memories maybe I can look into her mind. …to be continued Author Note: If I get any views ill keep on going.
