Friendship is Magic, and Magic can power Machines
"Omega?" Twilight asked, her voice filled with confusion and disbelief.
"Ugh, what?" Omega said, his head hurting from the sudden energy influx, he turned around to look at her.
"I'm sorry I didn't come back to talk, but I didn't think you would come and try to find me, what are you doing here?" Twilight querried, not noticing his discomfort
"I didn't come to look for you, I've been working, I needed some food, so I went out looking, that's when I found this orchard. What are you doing here though? Do you live here?" Omega answered, his head having stopped hurting from his robot parts turning on without regulation, he needed to know something.
"No, my friend Applejack lives here, this is her farm." Twilight said simply, her minor disbelief having gone.
"Farm, eh. Does she speak like this?" Omega prodded, asking his question in a southern drawl.
"Yes, actually, are you making fun of her?" Twilight asked, a bit upset that Omega might be mocking her friend without even meeting her.
"No, not at all, I'm a huge fan a western culture, that's why I asked, I think me and Applejack would get along fine, what are you doing here though? I doubt you would visit her from the Evil Woods." Omega prodded again, wanting to know more.
"Evil Woods? You mean the Everfree Forest? I don't live there, if that's what you're asking. I live at the town library, I'm all the way out here because I realized I left something in the orchard, me and my friends helped Applejack with applebuck season."
"With, what?" Omega asked in minor disbelief, not sure if he had heard he correctly, cleaning out his ears and cringing at the dark yellow substance he removed, a sign of poor hygiene.
"Applebuck season, that's what they call harvesting time, and I didn't see you before that because I had a conundrum with tickets to The Grand Galloping Gala, which, before you ask, is the biggest, fanciest party of the year. It takes place in Canterlot, capitol of Equestria, the country we live in." Twilight stated intelligently, answering each question Omega would have asked but immediately after didn't need to.
"Sounds like you ponies have a pretty advanced society, one quick question though." Omega complimented, though needing even more information.
"Sure, what is it?" Twilight said, happy to inform this confused stallion.
"Can you do magic with that horn?"
"Yes, I'm actually Princess Celestia's personal protege in the arts of magic."
"I see, well, that's all I wanted to know. Do you have any questions for me?"
"YES, I've actually got my notebook with pre-written questions on it. I was planning on coming back to see you today and ask them, but being here works too." Twilight proclaimed excitedly, if there was one thing she liked more than informing the uninformed, it was learning.
"Okay, empty the clip." Omega chuckled, that line was an extension of using 'shoot' as a way to approve questioning, he used it whenever someone had a LOT of questions.
"What does that mean?"
"It's just another way of saying 'go ahead and ask your questions', alright?"
"Alright! so, let's see, what is your full name, if Omega is just a first name?" she started, sitting down on her haunches as Omega laid with his back against a tree.
"It's just Omega, my real name was lost when they started the project."
"What project?"
"The 'Omega' Project, they needed someone big, tough, and strong for the program, and I was the top candidate, afterwards, I was called Omega and was the leader of my own squad of soldiers."
'So he IS a knight, and a commander at that, interesting.' she thought, writing quickly with her magic.
"What did the Project entail, exactly?" she asked
"Genetic Engineering, Cybernetic Implantation, and being put into a higher regard by the company, eventually I recieved a suit of highly advanced armor." he answered, the company had him in a high enough regard to make custom weapons for him, at least until the betrayal.
"So you were part of a company, not the military?"
"Yes, the company did some gnarly stuff, both the good and bad kinds."
"Did you have to, *gulp* kill?"
"Yes, a goddamn lot of people, not animals, no, this wasn't for food, this was for power."
"You kill animals for food?"
"Yes, as well as farming for food, we humans are omnivores, we eat any substance that won't kill us, and any animal that doesn't kill us first, which is a lot of animals, as we are the dominant species on my planet."
"Okay, you just answered a few questions I was about to ask, so, next question, does your species fight a lot?"
"Yes, enough fighting for at least 1 war per century, maybe 2 or 3 wars, and we've been roaming around for several thousands of years."
"That's a lot of fighting, what were your people fighting over?"
"Eh, new characters, new costumes, new props, same play."
"Your people have theater?"
"Yes, after we got over most of our differences, and establishing our dominance, we developed many things, entertainment, luxury, electricity, big one, electricity is, even making copies of ourselves with machinery, something that I don't really like much anymore." his voice took on a sad tone at this.
"You have machinery? What are the most advanced machines your people have made?"
"Myself and my former team." he stated simply.
"...... what?" she said, full of disbelief.
"It's true, I'm and my former friends are the most advanced machines my people have made, we're cyborgs, part human, part machine, made for destruction."
"You're part machine?"
"Yes, that's why I asked if you could do magic, because humans can't do magic, there have been many who tried to perform it, tried to philosophize it, but none have done it, you see, when you approached, my robot parts activated, I think magic has the same frequency as electricity, because it sure as hell works."
"Magic works the same as your electricity, hmm."
"Yep, that's what I've gathered, and I think it might be beneficia-" he stopped.
"Beneficial? I can see why you would think that, and maybe you're right, but, why did you stop talking?"
He had stopped because he had been going through his memories, trying to find out why Twilight looked so familiar, despite having seen her twice, when he found it, a memory.
It was christmas time in the human world, and the members of Bolverk Squad were at their company issued apartment, a fancy place with all of the utilities, clean, big, and nice, with marble floors, plush carpets, advanced facilities, and some nice walls and ceilings too. They had ordered a pizza for Christmas dinner, too lazy to cook and too hungry to not eat, luckily several places were open because the owners and employees did not celebrate the holiday, but that was okay, they had their differences of belief but that didn't make them any less human.
After hanging up the phone after ordering, Omega announced it was present time. and everyone took turns handing out their gifts
Askad had given everyone something that they, he had gotten Kary a pair of cool glasses, with silver frames and green tinted lenses, almost the same as his but his had yellow tinted lenses, for Xero, the demolitionist/intelligence officer had gotten a bottle of Starcraft themed hot sauce, as the ninja liked both the game and spicy foods, and for Omega, the SCO had bought an artist pallet, a set of paints, and a canvas sized note book, Omega liked painting.
Kary had tried, at least, she was still in early stages or development and wasn't sure what to get everyone, she got Askad a glass ball filled with water and plutonium, which equaled out to a high-power-low-tech bomb, where she got the glass, none of them knew, for Xero, she got an obsidian framed monocle on a bladed chain, because Xero was both british, a ninja, and also liked dark colors, and for Omega, whom she had had a Guardian Crush on, which was love of someone because they protect you, she had bought him a book of poetry, with half of a page for a written and half for and half for writing you own, Omega also liked poetry.
Xero had half-assed it, he got Askad an orange kevlar lab coat, Kary a bottle of blade oil for her glove, and Omega a pack of British blend cigarettes and a pack of Japanese blend cigarettes, along with a picture of Xero flipping him off, Omega really liked smoking, and the picture was funny.
Omega put a bit more heart into his gifts, He got Askad a radio upgrade, he had pitched in to the luxury developers of the armors for it to be made faster. He bought Xero a box of tea from Britain and another from Japan, the whole team had a joke about Xero being British and trained in Japanese martial arts, but Kary, well, that was a tough one.
He had searched the internet for something that a young girl would like, because he liked her, and she liked him, he found a TV show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, probably the girliest thing in the world, but he watched it, he had bought both seasons 1 and 2 for her, not all three as the third was not for disc purchase, and stored the data in his robot brain parts, the human parts having somewhat repressed it, he had watched every single episode, and enjoyed them, he didn't regret it.
Even when that asshole cashier made fun of him for buying it, not believing his soldierly affiliation or the fact he was buying it for someone else, he kicked that bastard right in the crotch, probably fractured his pelvis, then shot him between his eyes, the higher-ups pulled some strings for him after they found out the victim was part of Bio-Int., nobody who he didn't know mocked him and got away with it, Omega was big on pride and maintaining rightful ownership of that pride.
But he knew who Twilight was, because he had seen the events of this world happen, and he wondered if they would change because he was here.
Omega blinked at his name being called.
"OMEGA!" Twilight almost shouted, poking him in the face with a hoof.
"WHAT?" Omega almost shouted back in surprise.
"You just sort of, shut down for a minute, what happened?"
"Oh, I just got lost in thought for a minute, I was answering your questions, and I said magic was beneficial, your magic powered up my robot parts, but my body battery isn't repaired and back in my body yet, so if you get out of range of me, they'll shut down, and if they do that while I'm conscious, I could get really hurt, so to avoid that, could you come with me, back to my lab?"
"You built a laboratory in that cave?"
"Yes, can you just follow me?"
"Um, sure, after I find what I lost."
"I can help you with that," he said as they started walking through the orchard. "What did you lose?."
"My special reading glasses, they have magic that can translate other languages into equish."
"Equish?"
"Yeah, the language we're, kind of, speaking right now."
"I was under the impression that we were speaking english."
"English, eh? It could be that we're speaking two different languages that are identical in all but name."
"Sounds logical." Omega said as he turned on his scanners, changing the matter code from it's usual 'blood' setting to glass. Everything became slightly darker, and whatever was made of glass would appear bright and glowing.
They walked for a few minutes before finding the glasses, 20 feet away from a path through the middle of the empty apple orchard, Omega became cautious at the sight of the path.
"Where does that path lead?" he interrogated
"One way leads to town, the other leads to the farm house, calm down Omega, you're not in your world anymore, nopony wants to hurt you."
"*sigh* I know, it's just secondary instinct, you know?"
"Okay, just try to stay calm and collected, okay Omega?"
"*sigh* Okay."
<<transition>>
They entered the cave to the sound of the low rumbling of machinery, Omega felt proud of his creation, he had done something right, besides killing people, he always killed people right.
Going to his pot of water, he removed the pot from the heat, and then removed the meat from the pot, he began eating ravenously after assuring Twilight that he did not, in fact, eat ponies.
" *chew* Nobody I know *nom* eats pony meat *bite* only the sick and twisted do that *nom nom* and I'm both, but I don't do that *chew chew bite bite nom nom swallow*. "
"O-okay." Twilight said, keeping her distance
"Don't be like that, I'm just fucking starving, I usually don't eat like this."
"Um, okay, Omega, I believe you."
"See there, trust, an important part of interaction, we may just be friends yet Miss Twilight."
"Don't call me 'Miss', it's doesn't sound right."
"Just trying to be formal."
With that, he moved the meat that he didn't eat to the sustaining chamber he built to keep it fresh, it tasted like a mixture of sirloin and angus, 2 very high quality meats.
"If you don't eat ponies, where'd that meat come from?"
"A manticore that I killed, gutted, burned, drained, and just ate part of."
"You killed a MANTICORE? HOW?"
"I just shot it in the head about 8 times."
"You have a bow?"
"No, techincally yes, but, I used a gun."
"A gun? What's that?" she said, now curious of this device
"If you know cannons, it's like a small, handheld version of that."
"So you used a Hand-Cannon?"
"No, I don't have one of those, I have this."
He showed her the Ballistic Glove, its 3 barrels shiny and painted with black and yellow caution stripes.
"Metal caution tape?"
"No, these are gun barrels, hold on."
He expanded the Ballistica off of his glove, turning back into it's full form, he showed it to her, and demonstrated by firing at a wooden target he had also built.
A bang sounded out and 3 circular holes were punched through the dummy.
"Wow, that's amazing, such power, and in such a small size, do you have more of those?" she asked in amazement
"I used to have a lot, but they were lost, this is just an SMG, which stands for sub-machine gun, it's actually of low power compared to the others."
"What about that sword looking bow on your back?"
"This?" he brought forth the Light Arrow
"Yeah."
"This is the Light Arrow, it's like a bow and a double blade, it's actually not supposed to be mine, but I made it mine."
"What do you mean?"
"it's DNA locked technology, I re-locked it to my DNA."
"Oh, well, um, it's looks cool."
"Yeah it does, now then, do you have any light spells?"
"Yes, why, do you need light?"
"No, I need to cut my hair, OF COURSE I need light." he said, laughing
"Okay, here." she giggled and cast out a light spell
Omega looked at the dark part of the cave, and found it, lithium, the last component he needed for his battery repair.
After mining out the ore in the magical light, he moved from machine to machine, refining it, purifying it to weapons grade, adding it to the components, and constructing the repaired battery.
"Voila, my battery, now, Twilight, I need to charge it up, do you think you could just, do some lightning magic on it?"
"Sure thing." she cast out some magical lightning to the battery after Omega put it into his body, the symbol of the front lit up.
"Good, that magic is useful, we don't have talking ponies or magic where I come from."
"If you don't have ponies, then why do you have a shoe on your battery?" she said, pointing to the glowing greek symbol
"That? That's a foriegn symbol, it literally means Omega, which is why I have it, because that's my name, as for the shape, he have horses, large, unintelligent forms of ponies, all they do is neigh, eat, and poop."
"That's gross, but the symbol thing is neat."
"Yeah, it is. Well Twilight, it was nice talking to you again, but you should head home, it's almost sunset."
"Oh! Okay, well Omega, it was nice to see you again, anything else that you or I should know before I leave?"
"Yeah, come back tomorrow, and please, make it tomorrow, and not a week from now, I want to see that town." he requested, chuckling, he asked even though he already knew.
"Alright Omega, I'll see you tomorrow, and I'll introduce you to Ponyville." she accepted, giggling a little.
"Thanks."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Twilight."
And with that, the purple mare left.
Omega laid down on his leather-bound, sand filled matress, before sleep overtook him, one last thought ran through his now powered head.
'Wait? Ponyville? How unoriginal.'

Could use a lil work,the conversations feel a little bit rushed....
Dang, Omega works quick, He's gone and built a battery from scratch in, what, 2 days?
That's cyborgs for ya :P
2204220 honestly, it was because I was trying a style where you only say who said something the first time, and since it's a back and forth conversation, it's easy to tell who says what if you pay attention
2204239 actually, he already had a battery in his body, that's what powered his body, and was a back-up for his armor battery, but it was broken during the fight with Kary, so he had to repair it, but he didn't have any lithium, a key component in high capacity energy cells, so, repaired a broken battery in 6 days, 6 days have gone by
next chapter coming soon
2204759 Right-O
I guess I should watch the Xionic series again :P
