//------------------------------// // Project // Story: The Elite (By Totally Awesome Foals) // by TheFivePs //------------------------------// Apple Bloom P.O.V. I was about to reach Tender Taps when suddenly this colt appeared....Teleporting? I was speechless, when I tried to catch up to them, a filly jumped on me, dragging me away from then. -I did it, one of them is safe - The purple filly cheered after dragging me to some sort of laboratory -Where are w-......This is place, Doctor Whooves works here, are you....Dinky Whooves Doo? -Exactly, and I saw you through the cameras, and your friend was chasing you and your....Friend? -Coltfriend, AND NOW HE IS ALONE! -I needed to save at least one of you, and Twist is going to help us, she probaly is bringing here the best pony to help us After she said it, Twist came in, bringing no pony with her. -Twist? You said he was coming with you -I know, BUT HE WAS OCCUPIED WITH STIGMA TRIAL, they needed to talk with some Winter-Prince-Who-Cares? -Okay, now if you two stopped, we need to find Tender Taps before he gets hurt, Pipsqueak is insane and dangerous - I tried to search anything to help us -I know, but he actually is like this because of something else, that pony wasn't Pipsqueak -Of course it was, anypony else looks like a copy of another one? -Ruby Pinch and Dinky here, Shady Daze and Button Mash, Cotton Cloudy and Rainy Feather, do I need to continue? - Twist got a point -But hey, I have an idea of what we are dealing with - Dinky got some documents inside a locker - I asked Twist for help with these recently....A project my daddy never told me about -Like, always? - Twist was kind of right -No, he told about the time travel, but this one....... - Dinky showed us a photo of her father, together with a obvious couple of ponies -What kind of project are you talking about? - Dinky retired every single page of the document The documents was entitled ''Project'', and the rest of the title was a puddle of ink...Or something like this....I looked like Pipsqueak's new puddles. -What does it means? The title makes no sense -Read everything - Twist was already in the third page -Okay, calm down - I kept reading it '' This project is classified a the most secret experiment ponies can have, only three ponies know about it, I'm one of them, and my beloved friends are ''.........Two big ink puddles covered the names sadly....'' And after many weaks, they managed to create a new form of life'', okay, next year, '' The puddles were named Latexlings, they are very simple, and my friends managed to create two types, the black ones are agressive, and the white ones are very cute to be honest, but the only white we had was eaten by the black one, we continued to test them ''. -Daddy helped to create life - Dinky cheered -The life they created was Pipsqueak all along?- Many doubts invaded my mind -Keep readind - At this point, Twist already finished it '' They hate fruits, but the black one likes apples for some reason, he is so close to my female colleague, she gets flesh from cemeteries to satisfy him, it worries me, she is taking dead bodies to feed this thing, and now this thing seems to smell my flesh everytime I'm next to it, her husband will bring their kid to work, I hope this will calm her down, this is getting really insane ''. -Okay, last page now - I finally finished all the others '' THIS IS MY RETRIBUTION FOR USING ME AS YOUR PET, THE EVILNESS IN THIS ONE IS GREAT, SHE WAS SUFFERING SO MUCH, SHE HATES HER HUSBAND AND KID, THE FEAR IS DELICIOUS, NOW I'M GOING TO SPREAD IT AROUND, BUT BEFORE I DO IT, I NEED TO GET MY LAST PIECE, IF IT GETS A HOST, I WILL NEED TO HUNT IT ''. -Wait, a piece? The piece is inside Pipsqueak? -Now you understand it -I'm still reading, don't give me spoilers - Dinky was reading the second page '' THEIR KID SURVIVED.....BUT I WILL LET IT LIVE, HE CAN TRACK THE LAST PIECE TO ME.......I'M COMING, LITTLE FOALS '' -WAIT, WHAT? - I threw it away - How does it knows we are foals? -Wait what? It ended in '' hunt it '' - Twist got the page back - Uuuuuh, Apple Bloom, it ends in '' hunt it '', are you sure you it said anything about foals? -I am, you believe in me, right Dinky? -Actually, something happened recently..........An image of a filly with little tail and freckles told me about Pipsqueak, like a time traveler -Little tail? - Babs Seed? - Wait, she was there with the other one, this can explain something -It can be the one trying to get the last piece - Twist could be right but.....It couldn't be at the same time, I felt it -I have an idea, if Twist's friends- -Rascals -Rascals won't help us, we do it ourselves...........Rascals, seriously? -Edgy teenagers - After the perfect description of her friends, we left the lab -We need to find them, NOW! - I reached the place I knew Tender would be - The stage! -Now we get out of here..........I hope nopony cares about this place so much... - The strange colt who appeared suddenly -THERE HE IS -PROJECT INK PUDDLE! - Both of us turned to Dinky, giving her a disappointed glare - Sorry... -Babs, you know them? - Behind it, Babs Seed looked at us -APPLE BLOOM! -YOU ARE SAFE! - Tender Taps shoved them out of his way to hug me and get behind me - They are crazy, they wanted to cut heads there -What? -For real? - Twist looked at the colt and got in front of us - He don't look agressive -You must be Twist, Dinky, daughter of Doctor Whooves, so.....Hello cousin -Cousin? - Dinky almost passed out -Exactly, my parents worked with yours, so this could make us cousins, you know, I was kind of reborn? - Reborn? How can you be born again? -Girls, this is Copy, he is friend...Right? -For now, she is my '' host '' I felt an urge to gallop to him and buck his face, but when I was about to die, Babs Seed stopped me, placing herself in front of Copy. -Wow! Calm down, what happened? -HE IS CONTROLLING YOU! YOU ARE HIS HOST, A BRAINWASH! -I could, but I don't, after all, not even I can make her better than what she already is, she gave me somewhere to live, so....I'm kind of her property now -We can talk about this property thing later Copy? - Babs Seed sighed and hugged me too -Is he giving you headaches? -Every hour....At least he is fun and incredible -Uuuuh, Apple Bloom? I don't know about you but, these 2 look very bad - I looked at the place Dinky pointed out Petunia was there with an unconscious Pipsqueak, she was protective, scared of Copy just as I was. -WHAT YOU DID WITH PIPSQUEAK? - For some reason I got the same protective instinct -Oh...........I kind of bucked his flank around? I am very useful to eliminate targets but........Babs Seed asked me to keep the other latexling alive -The other one? - I grabbed him by the horn pulling him closer - WHAT OTHER? -Hey! The one possessing your friend there, but I can't separe them, not now -I knew it, possession - Dinky cheered again -Actually, I knew it - Twist examinated Pipsqueak - He looks so normal.....Except the black puddles dripping this.....Latex you say? -Yeah, we are made out of latex, you know, experiments, loooong and boring story, I can't remember anything, but the one inside of...Pipsqueak you say? He knows everything -Uuuuh, he tried to kill me - Tender Taps grabbed Copy hoof - Use the blade and stab him already -Blade? What blade? -I told you, he is incredible - Babs Seed grabbed Copy's horn and pulled it -OOOOOH NOOOOO....Just kidding - A new one growed up, but Copy scared us for a moment -Wait, you are the new creature, and your friend is the host but........Who is the one hunting him? - Twist had a point -I'm sorry to interrupt you all, but if you aren't going to help him, I will - Petunia said something finally -Oh yeah, let me bring him with us, lock him somewhere safe, and then we can discuss it normally - Copy lifted Pipsqueak with his horn, but his magic was oddly both yellow and green -Sorry for bringing my friend like this, I know we are giving you so much information - Babs tried to apologize for no reason -I'm okay.......The problem is, I fear a third '' latexling '' appearing, I will call the crusaders -They know about it, they have been trying to search you, Button Mash almost died trying to fight Pipsqueak and his '' latexling '' -WHAT? - Now that was a lot of information - Okay, I need to see them now, Tender, come on, we need to find them and tell everything -Everything to be as far away as I can from your '' friend'' - He followed me as we galloped away -Bye Babs, take care of him them while I'm out of here - I galloped the fastest I could to the hospital, Button Mash and Sweetie Belle were obviously there
