"It's not your fault Epsilon..." I say with a calm forgiving tone. She looks up at me with tears in her eyes and a sad expression, her fear is slowly starting to melt away. I offer my hand to her as I give her a soft smile. Epsilon slowly takes my hand with out changing her expression, though I can tell a small amount of joy and gratefulness starting to build up behind her now vulnerable composure. Epsilon wabbles for a moment and yelps in pain as she starts to fall, I catch her with a levitation spell, after this I scan her to find I damaged her synthetic muscles in her right leg. It will take a few days for her core to recover back to full strength. With the excess dark energy taken away from her, and that powerful smash to the head from earlier her programing must have changed into something completely different then what was originally planned by me or the terrorists.
"You're...n-not going to hurt me?" asks Epsilon as she looks at me with a worried face and a few tears falling from her now sorrowful eyes.
"No, what you were before is gone now...Come, I'm sure Serena needs medical attention." I say as I focus back onto more pressing matters. At this notion I snap my fingers to open a portal to her location behind me. I walk through with Epsilon close behind as she limps through. Serena lays almost lifeless on the ground before me drenched in a pool of her own blood with Necra crying over her. A few of the ponies that were aiding Serena before are running towards us. I scan them for additional information and threat level.

The ponies stop instantly when they notice me and a now sad and scared Epsilon, who stands behind me to try and hide herself in shame. The expressions on them are that of determination and anger, trying to hide your true feelings? A wise choice if I wasn't as perceptive as I am now due to my countless years of experince.
"I most senserly apologize for all the drama I have caused you..." I fold my wings against my back so I don't take up as much room, and to give Epsilon little space to hide behind. The ponies before me see what she has become, the scars I have given her and the change in hair color. I walk forward and kneel down to Serena, Necra looks at me with tears in her eyes and a look of desperation. I put my hand on her head to slowly pet her mane.
"She won't die here...or now." I say to her to comfort her lonely soul. The ponies notice my natural healing magic start to take place. I softly giggle at this.
"You know...funny thing about purebloods...we get our name from the natural healing magic that sarrounds us...yet we always seem to piss off some one when ever we reveal our selves..." I stand back up and point my left hand at Serena's still bleeding body. She starts to glow a dim yellow as a soft pulse pushes Necra away from her. The blood that was once dripping from her corpse stops flowing out and starts to flow back inside her, the glowing puddle of liquid magic that covers the ground levitates up to flow back into Serena's chest with her core slowly reattaching the wires one by one. As this happens her reboot process begins, making her slowly come back online as I restore her. As I cast these few spells I walk towards Necra to be directly in front of her so Necra and myself are the first things she sees when her eyes reactivate. The blood on Necra's stained hooves leaves them as thay too get gracefully placed back into Serena's body. Her blood soaked chest starts to dry and regenerate as the skin on her breasts and the rest of her body start to regenerate as I now cast a healing spell as I guide the liquid magic back into her. As I do this I reach into her timeline and reverse the age of her wings to be reverted back into working order. Serena and I levitate higher as she glows brighter. The fragments of her shattered archangel come into view as they start to reassemble themselves behind Serena to get flung into her pocket universe. After about 2 minutes of this I gently set her down just has she comes back online.

I open my eyes to feel warm and full of energy...a-and Nova standing behind Necra with a relived smile on her face. Necra herself has a utterly surprised and relived expression that I'm still alive after getting my heart literally ripped out of me.
"N-Nova?" I say simply at the sight of my kind master.
"It's nice to see you too Serena..." she says with a hint of cheerfulness in her words.
"Wait...your the girl from earlier....who are you?" Asks Twilight, noting my appearance from before.
"And...who is that behind you?" Asks Rarity as she points to a strange girl who simply stands in place, petrified our presence.
"Now now girls, all of your questions will be answered soon enough, but I believe it would be wise if I met your other friends first, I think the other elements may want to be around when I tell you the whole story." she says as she assess the situation calmly.
"Could you at least tell us how you know Serena and Epsilon?" asks Necra chiming in as she looks at me with a puzzled expression.
"I created them." says Nova as she walks towards me to place her hand on my shoulder. She looks at me with pride in her eyes, but the other ponies around me however all gasp in shock.
"T-then you must be..." Twilight starts, who then just pauses in thought.
"A hyper intelligent alien space princess of a multi universal empire that's on the other side of a specially designed hidden jumpgate in a different universe that's on the very edge of a small group of universes I made just outside the infinite collection of multiverses that spans across all dimensions? Yeah that sounds about right." she says in such a way that it should be common knowledge only to spite the fact that Twilight herself could not even imagine that a being such as Nova would come HERE of all places to even grace them with her presence. Twilight looks at her with a blank expression as she stands completely motionless to process the fact that some one of that importance is standing only a few feet away from her at this very moment. She simply giggles at this, as if she's done this countless times before...but if that's the case...why would she have done this kind of thing before?
"Well as funny as that may be, Rarity, could you lead me to your friends? I can heal them if they haven't regenerated already." she suggests, but before Rarity replies Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Applejack start to come running into view. They have pained expressions on them but that changes when they stop to meet up with the group. I notice Dash staring at my chest once more with a perverted glare, I attempt to rematerialise my chest plate.
<<<wait for core to restabilize 4.3 hours>>>
I cover my chest with my arms as I unwittingly give off a small blush. My under armor is still missing...my core is exposed, that must be that warm feeling around my arms and cleavage. My scanners come back online, making my HUD appear in my vision, I see a angel icon on my KE tracker, I look to my left to find Epsilon standing almost motionlessly only 24.6 feet away from us. She's looking at me with the expression of fear in her eyes as if she's too scared to run away. I activate my targeting system and lock onto her with my cannons. I jump back to gain some distance but Nova latches onto me with one of her energy grapples.
"Hold up hot stuff. She can't hurt anyone anymore." she says in a strangely serious manner, just as she finishes that statement she lets go as I slowly descend. I make sure to keep my chest covered with one of my arms.
"What...do you mean?" I ask her.
"Well if it isn't obvious enough why don't you scan her?" she suggests. I do so only to find that Epsilon literally and metaphorically doesn't have the power to even run, let alone defend herself.
"Will somepony tell me what the hay is going on!?" asks Dash, clearly annoyed by the fact that yet another angel like being stands before her now.
"I've been looking for Epsilon for the past...V how long are the years on this planet?" she says tone changes to curiosity as she accesses her coms.
"Same as Earth 1." she says over the outer speakers for everyone to hear.
"Ok so I've been looking for Epsilon for 4 years because she was stolen from me by the terrorist faction known through out the empire as Slayer...they have killed so many people and destroyed so many critically important facilities...They hate me because of how I run things...I am grateful that less then 1% of my citizens agree with them but that's still a lot when you consider just how many universes are with in the Empire. They stole Epsilon before I finished her AI programming from one of MY secret labs. She was designed specifically to kill purebloods who are a part of Slayer. They managed to seek refuge in a small cloaked universe but I eventually found them. Epsilon however...was no where to be found. It was practically a slaughter when I got there. The fools must must have activated her, luckily her programming was not complete but because of this her rampancy was making her mind decay at an accelerated rate. She had to feed on the dark energy cores of other angel class sentinels in order to maintain her forced metastability. She killed millions of Delta Angels I sent after her not knowing that she needed their cores to stay alive and get more powerful. Eventually they started to hunt her down out of revenge...my obedience code wasn't working because of their unrelenting hatred as a direct result of what she did to their comrades. They all died because of their actions ...I know not what they did to her in there but the terrorists that experimented on her are dead as well because of their reckless behavior. Thanks for that by the way." says Nova to Epsilon with a deceivingly playful tone.
"That's...horrible..." says Pinkie after a few moments of silence.
"Indeed...once again my eternal thirst for knowledge wreaked havoc on the public..." she says in a pained and tired tone as she clearly remembers what happened to her when she was 13.8 billion years old...the day she created true torment. A single tear forms in the corner of her eye...but this is no normal tear...its color...is blood red...and its chemical composition is that of AB- human blood. Strange...purebloods don't cry the blood of a different species, or any type of blood...wait...I'm detecting a very small and weak curse deep with in her spiritual signature. Why would Nova not cure herself of a curse if she of all purebloods could wipe it out with out even batting an eye? Unless...she's keeping it to remind her of what she did all those years ago...I detect Starlight Glimmer coming up on my KE tracker, Nova looks swiftly in her direction with a serious look...she must have detected the chronon distortion...
