    The large armored variety stood eight feet tall and wielded lances. Their genetic make-up was similiar to Beetles, Behemoths. The smaller variety wielding the firearms stood six feet tall most likely the expendable soldiers, Their genetics resembled a cross between ants and hornets. The ones with bladed wrists, stood six feet tall and were easily the assassins. 

Standing on Berserkir's shoulders I was well out of the range to control these creatures and they were starting to smash their way into the bus, screaming the horses backed away to the emergency exit until Celestia was shrouded in a ball of light and appeared in the middle of the mob. they seemed to back away in fear but after a moment they realized that she would not harm them they took the opportunity to attack.

I lept down and prepared for the onslaught of the insects, three Mantis, darted forward and surrounded me. Each held up one blade and swung, their blades didn't scratch my Nanotech Armor, Scenarios played through my C.P.U. each one ending in power down, or desruction. It was imperitive I survive, I had grown attatched to these creatures, another glitch in my system caused the Nanobots to act erratic. they seperated from my body and shot out in spikes impaling every enemy. The glitch was corrected and the Nanobots returned to their dormant state.

"Are you okay?" Celestia shouted as she galloped over to me and shook me with her forelegs. "What happened?"

"I don't know, glitch maybe,"

"Glitch?"

"Nothing, pay it no mind."

"That was awesome, you took out twenty of those things in seconds!" Mustang was ecstatic, and was the first out.

"What you need to know should be in there," 

"Come let's find out together," Celestia helped me up. "You seem to know alot about humans could you lead the way?"

"Yes I believe so," I pushed open the door and found a pristine environment much like the apartment before, why were these locations spared from the destruction, were they of importance, or were these locations somehow shielded? We passed by the newsroom full of videotapes and walked inside. "These tapes should have information up to the day where it went down." I slide one tape into the player and press play.

    "We are coming to you live, where the research team is testing the properties of Dark Matter, if they succeed whole new avenues of energy and technology, wait what is that, Oh God!" After an explosion the film cuts out.

"Dark Matter, those fools, they were years away from that technology. The humans have either died or mutated into those insect creatures, you need to leave, it's not safe."

"Then we should leave," Celestia said.

"I cannot leave with you, I can take you to the end of the city, and show you the way, but I am limited to the confines of the city."

"Why?"

"I can't tell you, it would compromise my existence, I am the last of my kind, and if I journey past the city limits I cannot guarantee my safety as well as yours. You know where I will be, come back whenever you feel like it, but you must leave before it gets dark."

"I understand," 

"Thank you for seeing it my way." I pointed them in the direction of a suitable location to the west, and watched as my friends left me behind, my optics began to leak, I was crying, I am a human, I am alive.
