//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: Ponetheus // by Shadowpony0071 //------------------------------// Twilight and Rarity had been studying the DNA from the head after it had exploded. "Isolate the strand" Twilight told Rarity "Prepare it to be gene-sampled" Rarity pressed some buttons and soon the head's DNA was being shown on a screen next to pony DNA. "Overlay" The alien DNA lapsed over the pony DNA to reveal "It's a match!" Twilight inhaled. øøø E.V.A.D reached into his freezer and took out a small canister. He slid the top around and off. Putting his hand inside he pulled out a transparent, green capsule. It had Black liquid inside it. He opened the capsule and dabbed a bit of the liquid on to his hand. "Big things have small beginnings." He had to learn what it did. He walked out of his room... Towards Faint's chambers. øøø Faint was playing Pool in his chambers. Enjoying his life. Too bad he didn't know that it would end soon. E.V.A.D walked through the door and picked up a glass and a bottle of wine. Minding his finger with the liquid on it. Faint looked at him and said "Pour yourself a glass, pal." Thinking E.V.A.D had gotten it for himself. "Thank you, but I'm afraid it would be wasted on me." "Oh right" Faint muttered "Forgot your not a real colt." "I'm very sorry your 'engineers' are all gone." Faint laughed "You think we wasted our time coming here dont you?" "The question depends on the understanding of what you've accomplished here." "What we wanted to achieve... was to meet our makers. To get answers. Why they made us in the first place" E.V.A.D thought about this for a bit. "Why did you ponies make me?" "We made you cause we could." "Can you imagine how disappointing it would be to hear the same thing from your creator?" Faint laughed "I guess it's a good thing you can't be disappointed." "Yes. It's wonderful actually. May I ask you something?" "Please do" "How far would you go to get what you came all this way for? Your answers. What you be willing to do for them?" "Anything and everything" E.V.A.D sighed and poured Faint a glass. "Now it's about drinking time I imagine" Before handing it to him, he dabbed the black goo into the drink. He gulped it all down "Good health" E.V.A.D said. øøø Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Fluttershy were still wandering around looking for a good place to settle down. They waved their flashlights around until Rainbow found a pile of dead alien bodies. "Those things?" Applejack asked "Are they real?" "Course they're real" Rainbow responded. "Celestia. Look at the pile. Looks like they were running from something" Fluttershy cringed. "Don't touch them, okay?" Spike was half asleep when he saw that one of the mappers had stopped. He stared at it. He called the trio, scaring the shit out of them. "What are your coordinates?" He asked them. Applejack told him some numbers which Rainbow didn't even listen too. "Why do you want them?" Applejack asked. "I've got a ping one click next to you" "What do you mean a ping?" "Well whatever that probes picking up... is not dead" Spike said "It's reading life-form" Fluttershy whimpered. "Okay what do you mean a life-form?" Applejack asked him while Fluttershy hyperventilated. "Is it moving?" The scared pegasus asked. "No. I don't think so" Spike responded. "Captain your obviously not seeing what we are seeing down here, otherwise you wouldn't be talking about a ping" Rainbow Dash said, agitated. "No, the signals grown since the storm here" "That's no good for us down here!" "Oh wait it just disappeared." Spike said "Must've been a glitch" "What do you mean a glitch?!?" Rainbow shouted, angrily.
