"Wake him, now."
"Sir, I don't think that is wise."
"I don't care what you think is wise. Now wake him, then we'll see if he talks, if not we will use her to make him."
At that moment I became very aware of my surroundings. I was off the ground with my arms and legs chained to a wall. When their voices stopped talking my eye, and the shutter covering my right eye, shot open. I saw them already looking at me. Grinning maliciously at me, a third one walked in with Fluttershy in chains, put her on a table, and left. My eye began to glow blood red.
"Lay another finger on her and I swear on my life, that you will regret even looking in my direction." I warned with a reptilian tone sneaking into my voice.
"What will you do, you are bound to a wall, so I could do this if I wanted." he lifted her by the mane and back handed her, making her cry. I disappeared from the wall leaving four half melted chains, and reappeared inches from him.
"The follies which a man regrets most in his life, are those which he did not commit when he had the opportunity, for you this means not running when you had the chance." Before he could start screaming I grabbed him by the face and slammed his head through the brick wall. The other soldier started for the door, but before he reached it I appeared in his path. Grabbing him by the throat with my left arm, I hoisted him off the ground and bashed him in the chest with my replacement arm, sending him flying into the other wall. I walked slowly up to him but before I could get too close, Fluttershy flew in my way (she got her wings free wile I was preoccupied) and stared into my eyes, making me stop completely.
"You don't need to kill everything that posses a threat to us!"
My left eye twitched "Please remove yourself from my path."
Her stare intensified "No. Please, just stop all the violence."
I then noticed her eyes were bloodshot, as though she had been crying for awhile, and her left foreleg was bandaged under the chains. "Dear, lord. What happened to your leg?" my voice went back to normal as the words came out. I grabbed her and got the padlock in my mechanical hand, crushing it so I could get a better look at the wound, I removed my first aid kit and went to work.
"It's broken and you wont be able to walk, so I am going to take a blood sample from you and see how far off the DNA is to mine and if I can augment a batch of nanobots for you. Think of it as a catalyst that will allow you to teleport with me." I produced a syringe and removed some of her blood and put it in a slot, witch had just opened, on my arm, scanning it and re-wrapping her foreleg.
*BEEP* "Species match 100%, DNA match at 85% Slight changes to nanobot makeup required. Do you wish to Make these changes?"
"Affirmative, Procedure time estimate."
"Procedure will take, 5, minutes, including subject augmentation period, at the end of this estimate the subject will be able to accompany you through the transport slip-stream."
"Thank you, alert me when nanobots are ready."
There was a loud crack and searing pain in Echo's arms, and he instantly woke laying flat on his back. he was on a stretching torture table.
"Oh, look our patient is finally awake, too bad though i wanted to see how many times we could break his arms before they stopped fixing themselves, then we were going to start with the mutated horse."
"OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?!" Echo screamed making both the tortures turn in fear, wile they were turned around he went completely invisible. Just as they turned to an empty table, the air vent cover fell off, missing the table operator by an inch, making the perfect cover. Terrified for their jobs they sprinted out the door in hopes to get a guard to catch their escapee before he got too far.When the door clicked shut he was there again but with a knife in his hand, cutting the leather binding keeping his arm bound to the apparatus. when he was free he started to search for Twilight, finding her bound and gagged under the table. He cut her loose "Thanks, those guys have been taunting me and hurting you for almost three hours."
"Wait, they were taunting you? With what?"
"Um, n-nothing." her face went red under the tear stains.
"C'mon you can tell me."
"P-promise you won't get angry." she squeaked her face getting redder.
"I swear on my life, I won't get angry."
"I think I have a crush on you."
His face suddenly went stoic and he darted towards her grabbing her off the ground, lifting a cover to a sewer tunnel and jumping in. As his head cleared the surface world he spread his form wedging himself against the pipe wall, reaching out and pulling the cover back over, with Twilight basically sitting in his lap, he whispered to her "Two things; one, keep quiet I heard them coming down the hallway, two, please don't do this, I fall in love too easily and unless Dimitry has a reason to go to your world I don't think I can, I just don't want to leave my brother alone, ok?"
"Oh, ok-"
A small voice came from Echo's pocket, interrupting Twilight, "Echo, it's Dimitri, If you've Freed yourself, I assume you've went somewhere quiet. So In case you are able to hear me, I am going to their world. We both know PK will say yes, so will you go with us to their world?"
Echo removed the radio and took out an earpiece, popping it into his ear, he asked "Do you know how perfect your timing is? What Is your reason?"
"I have Promised to stay by Fluttershy's side, and keep her safe for the rest of my natural life. I take it you are going?"
"Twilight just told me something that I cannot Disagree with, so I am going. Meet me in the center of town, Echo, out."
Twilight kissed him making him loose his grip, they fell 9 feet before PK caught them, making them both blush.
"YAY! Twi and Echo sitting in a dark creepy tunnel, K. I. S. S. I. N. G!"
"That was random. Uh, PK, how long were you standing there, bro?"
"Long enough, Pinkie said her pinkie sense was acting up and she did this random combination of twitches and movements. Then she said something unexpected was going to happen, then I heard Dimitri's voice and followed it, finding you."
"Wait, why weren't you captured?" Twilight questioned.
"We were, PK went totally crazy, cause they said they were going to do bad things to me, then he broke the wall, the bad guys, and the floor, then we got lost in here, then we found you, then you fell, then-"
"We get it." Echo ant Twilight interrupted simultaneously.
"Let's go find Dimitri." PK stated. Echo took the lead, Twilight walking next to him, Pinkie on PK's back following close behind.
"Nanobots complete, healing augmentation removed, strength augmentation removed, teleportation augmentation enhanced, please remove syringe."
"Good, now we can get out of here."
"But what if it doesn't work?"
I lifted her good foreleg and gave her the injection, then she pulled her hoof back and stared sadly at me"You didn't answer me, what if it doesn't work?"
"It will just trust me."
"But how do I know you aren't lying to me?" she moved to where her mane was covering most of her face.
I brushed her mane out of the way "I swear on my life, no matter what happens, I will never leave your side, and I will always protect you."
She just stared into my eyes, but not like before this time there was something new, something I thought I would never see in anyone other than my brothers; total trust.
"R-really? A-are you sure?"
"No doubt in my mind"
"Than lets go." she replied.
I ripped my shirt off and made a makeshift sling for her to sit in, helped her into it and strapped her onto my back, with only her head poking out. Then I activated my radio "Echo, it's Dimitri, If you've Freed yourself, I assume you've went somewhere quiet. So In case you are able to hear me, I am going to their world. We both know PK will say yes, so will you go with us to their world?"
Echo's voice came to reply "Do you know how perfect your timing is? What Is your reason?"
"I have Promised to stay by Fluttershy's side, and keep her safe for the rest of my natural life. I take it you are going?"
"Twilight just told me something that I cannot Disagree with, so I am going. Meet me in the center of town, Echo, out."
I deactivated the radio "Sounds like Twilight has fallen for Echo, anyway we will meet them in the center of town. We will need a disguise, local civilian wear would be best." I activated my radio again"Come in, this is Dimitri, Specters."
*Yes, what is it?*
"I and my team were captured, I need a satellite scan of this village, if you could be so kind."
*We send you because you are the best and you get captured, what the hell are you guys doing dow-*
"If we didn't escape I wouldn't be talking to you so just send the info, I need to get a disguise and meet my team at a certain location."
*Fine but if you guys get captured again, we will have to mini-nuke that island, we are not allowd to let you get brainwashed so total destruction is the only option. Map sent, command out*
I deactivated my radio, then received the map "If I wasn't leaving I would be worried." We then disappeared and re appeared in a local shop, scarring everyone but the clerk out
"Hello and how my I help you?" he said in a monotone but thick accent
"One, how are you not scared? Two, can we get clothing that's not conspicuous but covers our faces?,"
"working in this village as long as I have, you learn to expect anything, and yes right over in the back corner"
"Cool, thanks." I removed my wallet and pulled out all my money, 50000 US dollars, and slapped it on the counter it on the counter. Then I walked back to the clothing racks and began to try things on. After five minutes I returned to the counter "Am I wearing this correctly?"
"Yes."
"Thank you, have a wonderful day." I then thought Might as well let the locals have thier peace before they are incinerated.
I then walked out. After a while I stopped and sat on a wall, checking the map Well, I am where I'm supposed to be, but where are they?
"Hey, there Echo is, but why is he in the sewer? That is a sewer, right?" whispered the hidden pony, making me look up at the manhole cover.
"yes that is a sewer, and if Echo is there then the rest are there too." Stepped next to the manhole cover and dropped a note, then walked into an alleyway. Once the dark shade cloaked us I teleported us into the sewer system. Noticing PK trying to hide in the shadow, I decided to have some fun, I stepped into the shadow and teleported onto a ladder above him. I poked him on the head twice "Ya know if you were to be trying any harder you would be pushing into the wall." I received the exact reaction I was looking for, PK went limp and fell forward, completely frozen. I jumped off the ladder and landed in front of him, hand outstretched.
"That was not funny, you know I am paranoid of the dark."
"Sorry, It was just to perfect an opportunity to pass up. Anyway, where are Echo and the other two?"
"we're right here, and Echo is further down the tunnel." the sudden answer from behind Fluttershy and I, made us both go stiff and I fell on my face, and Echo uncloaked in front of me offering to help me up, I took the offer and stood up.
"So why is she bound to your back?"
"They broke her left foreleg, and she couldn't walk, so I augmented a batch of nanobots for her so we could teleport."
"I thought you swore you would never do that with anyone?"
"What can I say I couldn't think of anything else, so let's get this portal open."
Twilight then pointed her horn at the wall, glowing,it shot a constant stream at the wall swirling into a light purple circle "Alright, PK and Pinkie you go first then Dimitri and Fluttershy, Echo and I will follow."
"Understood." PK then followed Pinkie through, followed by Fluttershy and I as the world stretched I could feel my physical body changing slightly, then I passed out.
