[Master, wake up...]


I... I feel different... Like my life is meaningless... There dead. All of them. Dead. Mom, Dad, Sally, Jackie, and Clare... Its been hundreds of years... Why? I know why. That damn princess. The damn Merchant. And just damn time... Burn it all to hell! I'll kill them all! Celestia will get her sister back soon... I know. I'm the one who's going to bring her back!

[Good morning master! Did you sleep well?] My trusty sidekick Nanite-Hivemind said through my Pip-Boy. She's the one who has been taking care of me ever since I got hit by the nanites. I spoke to her -Yes, a girl- in my dreams, and ended up calling her Sandy, after my little sister.

She sounded like a young group of teenage girls with a glitch sounding voice in the background. She gave me all I needed to know about this world. From its inhabitants, to physics. This world is weird.

I began feeling my senses return. The feeling in my brain was the first. Then, I felt my limbs waking, as if they where asleep, which they where. After the feeling in my body returned, I slowly opened my eyes.

Looking around, I figured out that I was in some kind of large capsule, big enough to fit my form. I was standing upright. It didn't feel comfortable, in fact, I'd had to say that it was the worst sleep I ever had.

"No..." My mouth was dry, so it was hard to talk.

[Do you need a glass of water?] She sounded concerned. Which would sound weird, if she where a normal robot. She is a magical AI system, built to make everything imaginable... Except life... But that's more of a guideline. She... Took something away from me... And now I have kids. Pony kids, but kids nonetheless. It was weird, and there dead by now, but I think I still have grandkids. I'll go see them later.

"Yes, I'd like that. Thank you." I said politely. Sandy made a floating glass appear in front of me. It was empty, but I was patient. Water fell from the ceiling, coming from the lake in 'Ponyville' throw a filter. I took the flying glass of water, and literally inhaled the soothing liquid.

After I was done, I threw the once full cup to the floor for dramatic affect. But before it hit the bottom of the sleep chamber, it disintegrated, leaving nothing left. I smirked.

[Are you ready for me to open the chamber, Master?] Sandy asked.

'YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!' I've been cooped up here with nothing to do. But I'm not the begging ty-

"Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease, PLEASE!!!!!!!!" I begged.

'Nice work, all mighty dark lord' The voice in my head said. Yeah, I went insane being stuck in here with Sandy coming, oh, once a year. So my coping mechanism is this guy. I call him Whitney. Sandy said she had to erase my name to 'make me more evil'. She calls me Master, but I'll get my new name after she lets me out.

'Shut up stupid!' I retorted. Whitney 'rolled his eyes' and stayed quiet.

[As you wish, Master] Sandy said, there was a sound of hissing of as the chamber door opened slowly.

When the door was fully open, I jumped out and fell to my knees. I began weeping for joy. 'Finally.' was all I could think. The base was a metallic silver, no doubt made of a metal not known to man. Lots of hallways leading to different parts of my 'home to be'.

[Welcome back to Equestria, Darth Folteren] She said almost menacing.

"What?" I asked.

'So smart.' Whitney commented, rather rudely I may add.

'What was I supposed to say!?' I defended.

[You're new name is Darth Folteren.] Sandy answered calmly.

'I can live with that.'

I wobbled over to the nearest room. The bathroom.

I went strait to the mirror, and what I saw scared me.

Pale white skin with thick black veins coming out of my robe on ether side of my neck. My once hazel eyes where now a glowing yellow/orange. And my hair, black with white tips.

Celestia did this. She will pay!


After I examining the bathroom, I looked around the base. I found all the necessities one would need for an evil lair. A weapons vault, a training room, a prison, five bedrooms, a bar(Not going to use it), two war rooms, and a pool. I'll swim later, right now I have a plot to begin.

"Sandy, when will S.T.A.R. be ready?" I asked my friend. I turned on the computer in War Room 1.

[The Secret Track And Rise will be ready in 41 years, Lord Folteren]

I winced at the amount of time before it was ready. 'Dang...'

'Hey, at least you'll be able to practice swimming!' Whitney mocked, oh no, you're not getting away this time.

'You know, I could tell Luna about you're crush on her' I threatened. He gulped.

'Y-you wouldn't.' He replied nervously.

'Watch me' I went to press a button, but Whitney yelped.

'Okokokokokokok, I'm sorry, at least you'll have time to practice you're powers!' He apologized quickly. I didn't even know what the button did!

'Better, now if you'll excuse me, I have things to do.' I think he is mad... who cares, lets see who I'm related to!

"Ok... DNA scan... searching... searching... Ok." I mumbled to myself as I typed. When the results popped up, I looked at the surname to see to: Apple, and Pie. Interesting, food types... Hmm... I'll see the Apple's first, they live in Ponyville. Sandy must have Luna'd them and made this place good for farming. Heh, never thought my dependents would be farm folk... They BOTH were... Weird...

Then I felt something. In the years after Jackie died I thought I would never feel... Hope.

And so, I prepared. I made two pony bodies with the nanites. They may not be able to make life, but they sure do know how to change my body, but not for long. I made one for the Apple's, and one for the Pie's. Sandy prepared the changes, I would take the look of a stallion in his 20's, with a dark brown coat, blond hair, green eyes, and a Zap apple cutie mark. I would love to try one of them.

The other, a mare. Same age as the stallion, but a faded pink coat, a white curly mane, baby blue eyes, and a pie cutie mark.

Now I needed a name. Two. Sandy has the worst name choosing program, she had 990 years to think of a name and 'Folteren' was what it was? Oh well. Lets see... The stallions name shall be Apple Jam, cause why not. And the mare... Aha! Wiggle Pie! I love a silly mare, and I shall be that mare!

I pressed a button on my Pip-Boy and changed into the stallion.

'Off to the Apple's!'
