***Asphyxious pov. in the den***
I was having a interesting thought as I moved around the den holding my new token that was made by Dox. I put it away and I was about to do some more work, I and Moon dancer had already turned half the ponies we freed. It take a lot out of you but with more unicorns to help things can go much faster once Moon teaches them the spell. I started to notice things between the dogs and ponies were worrying. It was like one side was worried the other was going to attack so I talk with Rex about a idea I had to help them relax.
"You want to make a pub?" Asked Rex as he give me a confused look on his mug.
"Yes I thought it would help everyone relax as well as the dogs from the other packs. It will be something to take their mind off things" I explained as I look at some of his maps. We were looking for more outposts like the one we attacked. Hopefully we can save more lives and stop whatever is doing this to them.
"Well it dose sound like a good idea to me, okay I'll get some dogs on it." Said Rex as he pulls up another map.
"Thanks Rex I'm going to see how our new pack mates are doing." I said back to him as I leave.
As I walk around I thought about the Displaced I summoned just yesterday, Dox was interesting to talk to not only that but he gave me a cool token to call him on. The ponies who were now undead or like me are having their necrotite replaced. I was making my way down to the Forge like I always do but then I saw Kat and Gear Shift talking and working on a new slayer I asked them to make. I just hopped it would work but I had other things on my mind, I then went into my lab after I had a talk with them and that we are not using those core suppressors that Gear Shift was talking about.
Turn out I found after testing one it messes up the cortex, no idea what it doing but I found it harder to. I guess the word I would use is talk to it. Once I was in my Lab I put my staff down next to the table, I then sat down and stared at the Heart Stone that was in a glass jar on the table.
"Hallo Everblight I hope you're enjoying your stay?" I asked the stone that was sitting in a glass jar. If I had to guess I had no idea if the dragon, that is to say the part of him that was trapped in side could even hear me.
I just looked at it not really sure what to do with it really, when I looked in to the cryx book for any ideas their was a lot in it I didn't like. I sighed as I put the book down and looked back at the stone, then I started to think. What if I could use Everblight magic to get my old human body back. Not likely, I didn't need to guess what would happen even if I tried it most likely it would turn out to be some kind of trap.
What are you waiting for, hurry up and use it magic so you can free me from this stupid staff!
I growled as I look to my staff that was next to me, I should never have stuck Sombra in my staff. I may of got a power boost out of it, but it wasn't that much. I had other things to work on like right now I was working on making a arc node. I had a lot of parts to work with but not only that I had the Holo player/echo/Shield generator that I got from Jack, it turns out the damn thing was in the bottom of the crate that had all the gun parts in it. I had the Holo player play back some mlp recordings and skipped the things I really didn't need to see. Like two ponies making out, I didn't even care if they were anthro's why would F.A.U.S.T. keep the recordings of that.
I need to go outside.
I think to myself but I didn't even get out of the room before I heard him again. My lord he never shuts up, it the same thing day in and out 'I will destroy you' and 'Free me or face my power' For the love of god let me work in peace!.
I don't care what you think you need, set me free or feel my wrath!
Okay, one I don't fear you. You're nothing more than a voice in my head and two you haven't shut up in days. Will you just give it a rest already or I will set your soul free and then you can tell me what the afterlife is like!
I didn't know how but I felt Sombra was sneering at me. I then saw the heart stone was glowing, huh interesting. I was about to look more in to it until I heard Sombra yelling in my head. That was it if he didn't pack it in I was sticking him in the soul cage by himself. I have three of them and if I remember what I read from the book these soul cages can hold hundreds of souls. I should know I tested it out when I was in Jacks world.
Fool you have no power over me!
Oh ya?
That was it with a wave of my hand I pulled his soul from my staff and got a real look at him. I saw the look on his ghostly face as he looked around in fear. I was just holding his soul in my hand, just one wrong move and he would be lost. I felt a little bit of joy seeing him panicking and trying to get away from me, just to jab at his pride I said this.
"Is something wrong Sombra, I thought you had the power to do as you pleased?" I couldn't help but laugh as he then stopped trying to escape and glares at me.
"What did you do to me!?" He shouted at me. I just lead him around the room to see if he could get the point that I was in control here not him.
"I simply put I removed your soul from your magic. It was easy once I found out how you see when I bound your soul to my staff I added a little seal. To put it in away you can understand your soul can be freed from it whenever I want, but your power, your magic is now apart of my staff." I then held my staff up to his face. I didn't know why but when he saw how close the blade was to his face he tried to back away from it. I didn't let him.
"Can you feel it Sombra, all your magic locked away and out of your reach. I could let you go but then you wouldn't have the means to come back, why I think you would die if I let you go as you are now." That when I saw it his face turned from rage to fear just like that. "Do you want me to set you free?" I asked as I slowly one finger at a time let go of his soul.
"Alright, alright you made your point just put me back!?" I heard him scream in fear.
I then stuck his soul back in my staff, I could still hear him growl in the back of my head but a least he was quiet. I then looked to the Heart Stone and saw it was glowing but why was what I wanted to know. Was Everblight trying to talk to me or was he reacting to something else. Then I had a crazy idea, Asphyxious had another form the Lich Lord. If I could find a way to use this stone to get more power I could become stronger.
And how would you do this... Asphyxious.
I didn't know really but I didn't just have the Cryx book to work with I had that Battle mage book that could be helpful. I then started to read looking through page upon page, spell after spell. I was trying to jam as much knowledge into my skull as I can the fact I didn't need to rest or sleep meant I could get a lot more done than if I was human.
"Hay Asphyxious come out of their it been three days we got something to show you." Said Gear Shift from the doorway to my room. I blinked when all I saw was her tail disappear around the corner, wait I was reading for three days?.
Damn I need to take better notices of time when I'm reading once I left my lab I made my way back to the forge and well I was impressed with what was waiting for me. Standing out side of the forge was a Seether instead of the trade mark bone spines on it back and shoulders were replaced with metal oncs.
"I got to say girls this, this is badass." I said to them sounding happy, oh I was happy. Grave Digger was good in a fight but that thing was not made to fight in a battle.
"We hoped you liked it but we kind of hit a dead end, we can’t get it to work." Said Kat as the dog rubs the back of her head.
I took a closer look at the Helljack and knew what was wrong it, it was missing a soul to help drive the cortex. I had the girls open the thing up and looked for the Soul drive, it wasn’t hard to find it was grafted to the cortex itself. I got my soul cage up and called out a old friend.
"It time I gave you that body you wanted old friend." I said as I saw a wisp of a soul come out and go into the cortex. I then backed away as the Gear Shift and Kat with the help of Moon Dancer put the armour back on it back.
Once the armour was in place it gave a roar as it springs to life, I was not afraid of the way it walked up to me even when Gear Shift and Kat called over their warjacks. Grave Digger and Fluffy were standing by their maker’s giving out growls of their own or let out a hiss of steam. Me I just stand their with it looking down at me.
"It good to have you back with us." I then hugged the Helljack, was it still a helljack if it wasn’t powered by necrotite?. Warjack, Helljack, what the hell they're all powered by this blue stuff Moon Dancer made. I'll just call them all warjacks.
The next thing I knew I was picked up off the floor by the Seether and laughed. Okay this was a little scary but fun at the same time. "Okay I get it your happy could you put me down big guy!" I was happy for the manticore soul that was now apart of the Seether.
I then got this crazy idea, what if I bring it and Cankerworm with me the next time I get summoned. I then hear the sound of a whistle down one of the many tunnels and saw a small train on a tracks make it way in to the den. I just blinked at this before asking this question.
"When did we get trains in the den?" I watch as dogs from Eddies pack climb out and start giving stuff to my dogs.
"Don’t you remember, Rex said that Eddie wanted to link up all our den’s by a tunnel system. So we could trade things with each other." Said Kat as she give me the evil eye. I guess she still not happy about what happened with Grave Digger.
"Huh I guess I didn’t notice." I said as I rub my head as I look around at just how big the forge has gotten. It looked like Marbles and Fang had some kind of team of digs working under them. I then heard two voices in my head I didn’t recognize.
"You sure you’re fine, I mean you did fall on your head this time."
"RD I’m fine, this wouldn’t be the only time I landed on my head before."
"Still you might want to take it easy a bit, after all we are dating in secret and all."
"I’ll be fine it’s just a mild head trauma, no big deal."
What the hell, one of them sounds like Rainbow Dash but who was this other voice?
I thought to myself before portal opens and dumps two young ladies into the middle of my den. Okay no need to panic I’m sure their is a good reason for this. Also I guess this other girl in red is RD girlfriend, wow she pretty. I then face palm at this, what am I thinking I am a Lich for crying out loud I’m already dead!. I just can’t believe I even asked Spawn if that Shifter Displaced girl was single.
I haven’t even met her ever I have no idea if she even my type that when I heard RD talk. "Um Amy, l-look behind you." I looked at them and saw RD was looking right at me, oh no this could be bad.
"Nice try Rainbow Dash, but that won’t work on me the second time." The girl with red hair said sounding like she thought their was nothing behind her. Well I guess if I could talk to them calmly so they won’t panic.
"Hallo just who are you ladies and what are you doing here?" I asked, that when the girl in red turned around and looked at me with wide eyes. Okay so far they're not doing anything that good maybe I can get them to tell me how they got here that when Rainbow Dash start screaming.
"HOLY CELESTIA IT’S THE PONY REAPER!!!" The pony what now? I thought confused at what the somewhat human like pony said.
"Oh hell no, I already died once I’m not dieing again." Wait dieing again, wait she died once?. Just what was going on, that when a fist meet my face. Oh good lord the PAIN!, I covered my face with both of my hands as I try and work out just what was going on.
Lucky for me I used my warjacks to see for me but the one thing I was worried about was what both of them were feeling, Cankerworm and Seether were both angry at the one who attacked me. This is bad, that when I heard RD and the girl called Amy talk again.
"Bring it on you halloween rejects we can take you on!" Said Amy as she get ready for a fist fight, really is she crazy. Cankerworm and Seether could tear her lim from lim!
"Yeah! Let’s see if you chump like having taste lightning charged feet!" Rainbow Dash as lighting energy was forming around her feet. How was she doing that?
This was bad and getting out of hand I had to stop them before. "Intruders sound the alarms!" Yelled Kat, okay it just got out of hand. I then give Cankerworm a order to look around. What I saw was all my dogs running out of the tunnels and ever aiming weapon’s at the two girls or blocking off the tunnels so they can’t getaway.
Not only that but Seether saw Grave Digger walking this way with a warjack under the control of Golden Shield. Her warjack was holding a large shield in one hand and a mace in the other. Then I heard the Amy girl say this.
"Huh? Reminds me of the time we fought Chrysalis in ponyville a few years ago." Said Amy as she summoned her claymore.
"Yeah only this it’s with a bunch of diamond dogs, and whatever the hell those things are." Said Rainbow Dash. That when I heard the click of shotguns and saw a group of my dogs aim their weapons at them ready to fire.
"So ladies and gentlemen," Amy said as she walked slowly towards them. "How’s your health plan?"
"Okay that it timeout everybody, TIMEOUT!" I yelled at everybody. They all stopped to look at me the warjacks on the other hand just kept looking at them ready to attack if given the word. God I forgot that other displaced can hurt me. "Their no need to start a fight now I’m sure they didn’t mean to punch me in the face… I think?" All my dogs just kept their eyes on both RD And Amy. But really I just didn’t want anyone to get hurt.
"Why don’t we all calm down and I’ll handle this." I said waving for my pack to calm down and go back to their work. "You sure boss?" Asked Gear Shift as the pony warjack rives it drill as if asking to join in.
"No I got this it okay, everybody go back to doing whatever you was doing." After I asked them to do this one by one they started to walk off. The warjacks stay a little longer until they were ordered by someone to do something else. I ordered Cankerworm and Seether to help the others, I sighed in relief then turned back to the two and asked this.
"Okay just what is going on and who are you?" I asked calmly as I rub my jaw. "My name is Amy Anderson the Third, and this is my partner Rainbow Dash." Amy said pointing at Rainbow Dash beside her.
"Um...Hi?" Said Rainbow Dash waving her hand. "Who might you be?" I did a little bow to the both of them as I told them my name. "My name is Asphyxious, it is nice to see another Displaced I just met another of us not to long ago. Guy named Dox he was cool."
"Ok….So care to explain why we’re here skeletor?" Amy Asked. I couldn’t help but laugh at that, oh my god I didn’t think anyone would remember that old show. let alone call me skeletor that is funny.
"Okay one I didn’t bring you here but I did hear you two talking that means one of you must of had my token right?" I asked them looking between the two of them. Then I heard old Sombra butt in to my thoughts.
Why are you wasting your time with these fools, just get rid of them and be done with it!
"Hey! Screw you Sombra!" Yelled Amy flipping me the finger... I blinked at this as I moved closer to get a better look at her.
"You can hear him?" I asked wondering if she had some kind of mind reading powers just like F.A.U.S.T. This could be more interesting than I thought.
"Yeah I can hear him, it’s something that I got when I became the Crimson Avenger." Hmm interesting I think to myself. "With my help of course" Said Amy as her voice changed. "Indeed." She said again in a different voice.
"Dammit I thought I told you two to stop doing that with me!" Amy yelled at herself waving her arms in the air. I then turn to RD and point at Amy as if asking if this happen a lot?
"Pretty much yeah, this is what happen you let nightmare moon and a Alter ego of yourself live inside you." Said Rainbow as she crossed her arms and grins at what happening to Amy.
"Well, good thing I only have one voice in my head… for now." I said calmly as a dog with what looks like a hard hat and a yellow vast walks up to me. Just where did this dog come from?
"Sir the new living space is open to the ponies now and the new pub is now open to be used." I just blink at him, they already made the pub? Wow I didn’t know my dogs worked this fast, I just nod at him as he smiles and walks off.
No idea what his smiling about?, I then turned back to the girls to see Amy just staring at my face. "Umm, can I help you?" I asked a little worryingly, just why was she this close to me?
"So this place has a place to get shit face drunk huh?" Amy asked. I just slowly nod my head at her not really getting her meaning or why she was smiling at me like that. "Yes, you should be able to order food from their as well." I said as I saw RD was trying to give me some kind of hand signs.
"RD’s making hands signs behind my back is she?" She asked giving me this look like someone just took the last biscuit from the tin. "Yeap." I said giving her the Big Mac impersonation. If I still had a face I would be smiling.
"You bitch what the hell’s wrong with you." Amy said punching Rainbow Dash in the shoulder. "You and I both know you’re not allowed to drink due to your age Amy!" Yelled RD as she holds her arms up in the air. "I’m only 18, I’m still old enough to drink." Said Amy as it looks like they both mite start a fight.
I then say this shocking the both of them. "Where I came from 18 was the legal age to be drinking but it got moved up to 20 I think?" The looks on their faces was like I had just told them the world moved around the sun which it should.
"That not the reason why Amy can’t drink…. well it is but it also involve her almost killing BlueBlood, and waking up in bed with me and Berry Punch." My jaw dropped after hearing that, then I felt a familiar racing in my chest. I don’t even have a heart how that even work!?
"Oh come on it was just that one time." Said Amy giving RD a pouting look. "Really? Why don’t you ask Applejack when you ended up in her bed when you got drunk again." OH MY GOD!, I did not need to hear that. On the other hand that would be kind of, No, no I will not go their. I can’t get horny I am a dead guy that 900 years old for pete's sake.
"Fine 'mom' I won’t get shit face drunk." Amy said looking away and crossing arms under her, Okay!. Look away dude their no need to stare at those… Why am I not looking away!?! Look away moron! I yell at myself in my head I then turn around I wasn’t looking at them anymore.
I then hear a growl and look back at the girls seeing Amy holding her stomach and giving off a light laugh. I sighed at this and wave for them to follow. "Come on let go have a look at this pub and see how it looks, maybe get you two something to eat." I said as I start to walk away.
"There better be meat here for us to eat." Said Amy in a cross tone. I turned back to her and replied to her question "I’m living with diamond dogs what do you think they eat?" I asked Looking at her blankly.
"Whatever skeletor, just take us to where the meat is." I looked at her annoyedly at what she said then had a jab of my own at her. "As you wish sexy legs." I said in a happy tone and took them to the pub, no one would know or see the smile I had. But the blush on her face I will remember till the day I die.
Once we got moving down the tunnels and hearing Amy saying whatever she was going to do to me if I called her sexy legs again. I was a little bit glad to see some of the ponies I help freed walking around the den now. Even if it was in small groups, when they see me I just give them a bow and move out of their way so they can walk past. They would nod back or say hello or goodbye before going on their way.
"So what’s with all the refugees, if you don’t mind me asking?" Asked Amy. I looked back at her as we walked not really sure If I should tell them about what I saw and had to fight. About the ones who died trying to keep them safe.
"They… were locked up in an outpost, we don’t know why they were locked up in their but it was clear that they were mistreated, some of them where even turn into things like me." I said remembering some of the dead bodies I found and the undead thralls.
"Who would do something like that?" Asked Rainbow Dash. She sounded both worried and angry that someone would do this to a living being. "We don’t know, I’m having Ironhoof and Golden Shield looking into it. But you don’t need to know about my troubles tell me about yourselves." My tone became lighter once we moved away from talking about what happen.
"Well I’m pretty much the hero in my world, after saving it from an evil displaced human that Celestia turned to stone 1,000 years ago." Said Amy. Sounding a little to sure of herself if you ask me.
"And I’m pretty much ask Amy to be my marefriend, seeing how she’s now a pony and all." Said Rainbow Dash. I was never so happy to not have a face if I did I’d be smirking at them right now. No bad thoughts, bad thoughts get those ideas out of your head man! "Question is there a Gilda in this world?"
That made me stop walking RD question sent both worry and fear throughout my mind. I couldn’t tell them just how bad Gilda had it in that place can I? Would RD even want to know what happened to her hell I don’t even know what fully happened to her myself. I sighed and looked at her I can’t lie to them even if I wanted to.
"She… being taken care of by the healers of this pack. Gilda has woken up sometimes to eat and drink but for the most part she been resting." I could tell this wasn’t want RD wanted to find out. I guess I should've just said yes and leave it at that.
"......I want to see her please." Asked Rainbow Dash. She looked like she was about to cry but was trying to be strong that can’t be good for her. "I can take you to her, but remember their are others resting their as well and you mustn’t shout." I asked them as we went down another tunnel.
"....Ok." I sighed at this as we made our way, it didn’t take us long to get their but I had to make some rules clear to the both of them. "Only one of you can go inside, once there you must listen to what the healers tell you alright RD?"
"Ok." Said Rainbow Dash as a Female dog opens the door and looks at us all. "Asphyxious sir is there something you need, the three griffons are doing better than they were three days ago when you came by." I nod at the Healer and point to RD and said this. "The female Griffon in side is her friend the older one and would like to see how she doing"
The dog just smiles warmly at them and opens the door all the way. "Come on in but please be quiet the others are resting right now." Rainbow Dash looked between me and Amy before taking a breath and walked in side. The door closed and I gave out a deep sigh.
"Question, how many are injured?" Amy Asked. I looked over at her and think back to the battle I had with Everblight army. "That depends, do you mean the refugees my dogs or both." I said grimly as I lean on the tunnel wall. Looking at one of the many touches on the walls. "The ones that are in really bad shape." I think about that as I go over the long walk it took for us to get home.
"Well five of my dogs ever lost an arm or a leg and they were the lucky one. One dog lost both his eyes and asked us to kill him, I didn’t let them. One dog died of blood loss on the way back home because he didn’t tell anyone how badly hurt he was. Then we lost two griffons on the way here. Then a pony died after we found out that they had half their organs missing and from what I could see had raw necrotite put in side of her." I said going over the loses I just slumped to the floor and looked at the floor.
I am tried I really did try to be strong for them but I just can’t keep this act up anymore. I wish I could cry god I want to cry but I can’t, I have to be strong for them I need to be strong for them. I can’t show any weaknesses. I just good lord I just can’t take this any more! I just cover my face with both my hands and sit there as I was shaking.
"Hm….and Gilda’s condition?" I slowly move my hands away from my face and sighed as I look at the Displaced girl. "She’ll live, but from what the other two griffons told us. They were given nothing but seeds and bread to eat." I said in defeat I may have won that battle but I feel like I lost.
"....Selena?" Amy said to her self. "Yes?" I blink at her as her voice changed. "You know what to do" Said Amy as she closed her eyes. Wait what was she doing, what is going on? I get back up and look at her. "You know once you make a wish, you need to sacrifice something in return right?" Amy nodded in agreement.
Sacrifice, what sacrifice? What did Amy have to give up to do whatever she was planning. "Amy what are you doing." I asked feeling a little bit worried over what she has planned. "The contract is signed. In order to heal the creatures in that room you must exchange parts of your memories of your past life"
I quickly grab Amy by her shoulders and look at her. "What are you doing, Why are you throwing away what make you who you are?!" I all but yell at her. I can’t even remember my old life but that don’t mean I just throw away my past.
"This is her choice human," Selena said as she raised Amy’s arm forming a small blade in her hand. "This wouldn’t be the only time she done something like this" With that she thrusted the blade into her chest, as a light orb appeared from out of the hole in her chest. Oh my fucking god no!, I thought as I saw this I thought she was going to die. I let her go and back away not really understanding the kind of magic she is using. I just hoped she didn’t kill herself doing this.
"The price has been paid, now for my end of the deal." Selena then launched the orb into the room where Rainbow Dash was in. Amy fell to the ground with no color in her eyes. I quickly moved to cache her before she hit the floor, I looked down at her in fear thinking she was going to die. "Dammit, really wish whenever I do that didn’t leave like this." Said Amy pulling herself up.
"What the fuck were you thinking, you scared me half to death I thought you was going to die!" I screamed at her I then hugged her and didn’t let go. "I thought I was going to go through that again I didn’t want anyone else to die on me damnit!"
"Heh….Idiot. The dark el shard that Selena gave me makes me immortal. The only thing that I’ll die of is if I gave someone else my powers." She said giving me that stupid smile on her face. I could help but cry even if I didn’t have tear ducts anymore. "Also you might want to look inside."
I blinked at this and looked inside what I saw shocked me the dogs who lost their limbs had them back. Even the dog who lost his eyes now took his bandages off and could now see again. Even the griffons looked better now than they did before. Then I saw Gilda looking around confused as to where she was and one wait. Why was Rainbow Dash looking at me like that… She looked angry.
"I think we’re both in trouble. Cause that’s the same look she gave me when I used that spell on the changelings back home." She said sounding really worried. "Speaking of Changelings I need to find out what happened to them." I say then look at the way I’m holding Amy in my arms then back at RD. Oh no!. "Wait it not what it looked like!?"
"I don’t think that’s the reason why, take a good look where your hand is touching." Said Amy with a blush on her face. Wait my hand?, I slowly look down at where my hand is and saw it was on her left breast… Oh fuck me, I can really feel IT! My mind just shut down on me just what the hell am I to do now!? Come on brain think of something anything! Come on we are in danger here we are going to die!?!, Panic just panic!
"Gilda could you please move yourself from off the bed please?" Rainbow Dash asked as electricity was gathering around herself as her wings flew open. I screamed like a little girl still holding Amy in my arms and ran away.
“GET BACK HERE YOU MOTHERBUCKER! HOW DARE YOU CAPE A FEEL WITH MY MAREFRIEND!!!” Rainbow Dash said charging at me.
"I CAN EXPLAIN!" I screamed back at her not slowing down through the tunnels. "Amy do something to calm your girlfriend down will you!" I all but yelled in a mad panic.
"She can’t at the moment, she knocked out." Oh fuck me you have got to be kidding me?! I moved down another tunnel to take me to the lower levels, Rainbow Dash maybe fast but I know these tunnels like the back of my hand. That and I know just the spell to hide myself all I had to do was leave Amy somewhere RD can find her and not attack me.
"Where are yea you bag of bones, I can smell your fear pervert!" I heard her yell somewhere in the tunnels.
Sorry RD but you’re number three on things I fear and F.A.U.S.T. on the top of that list!
I think to myself as I put Amy down then yell out. "I’m over here Rainbow Crash!" I knew she hated that nickname but all I need was for her to find Amy. I then used one of my spells to go through the wall once I was on the other side I then casted occultation on myself to hide now that she can not see me all I have to do was wait for her to calm down.
***Amy pov. In a random tunnel.***
Waking up was a pain my head was pounding and felt like I was in the ringer. I then saw Rainbow Dash looking a little more than mad as she crossed her arms and looked down at me. "What?" I asked not really getting why she was mad at me.
"Care to explain why you let him touch you like that?" She asked sounding like she was just about ready to kill someone.
"To be fair it happen when I was making a contract with Selena again, and he happen to catch me by surprise when I fell to the floor. Just for the record I didn’t feel anything when he did that." I said as slowly and as calmly as possible even with the fear of RD kicking my ass.
"Really now? And you expect me to believe that?" Rainbow said giving me the evil eye as if trying to find out if I was lying or telling the truth.
"Oh come on you and I both know that you’re the only one for me. I’m not even into dead people." After saying that RD start to give me a little smile as if code for I believe you but you still have to make it up to me. "What do I have to do to make it up for you?"
"You know what I want." I just sat their blushing at her words, oh my god could she mean that? No I mean are we even ready to try doing that… That when I heard RD Laughing her ass off as I sat their blushing like crazy. "Relax we’re not doing that here, don’t want anypony seeing that. I mean the other thing involving you biting my neck for blood."
"Oh…. that….. fine but you’re lucky that I’m in need of it, after that little magic spell me and Selena did." I said feeling to tired to deal with her right now.
Just then Asphyxious came through the wall laughing like a mad man and talking so faster I didn’t even understand half of it all I could get from his ramblings was this. "Oh my god this is so COOL!, This is the most awesome thing EVER! You have gotta see THIS!" He then fly down the tunnel yelling out orders to dig somewhere and laughing like crazy.
"The fucks up with him?" Asked Rainbow Dash confused at what just happened. "Don’t care, biting now." I said as I bit into RD’s neck lightly. RD let out a light moan as I bit in to her soft neck.
After I was done drinking RD blood things got a little heated between us, lucky we saw a diamond dog walk in on us before we did anything crazy. Now we were both blushing like teens who had someone walk in on them as they were kissing. But we had other things to worry about, like bone head having one of those large robot things digging a tunnel down and Asphyxious was hovering over it, if I had to guess he was excited about what was down their.
"Any idea what gotten the boss so… hiper?" Asked an earth pony with overall on as she just looks on not really sure what to make of this. "You don’t want to know." Said Rainbow Dash as we both blushed bright red.
"What ever it is I haven’t seen him this eager to do something like this since we built Grave Digger." Said a unicorn mare with what look like metal front legs. I couldn’t help but wonder if Asphyxious was the one who did that to her, or was it someone else who did that?
"Trust us it’s embarrassing." I said as my face grew even redder.
"What could be so embarrassing that Asphyxious want to dig somewhere and not tell any of us what he's looking for?" Said a female diamond dog who looked like she had goggles on her head not only that but she looked like a rottweiler. She sounded more confused then anything else.
"Oh for fucks shakes," I said as I rubbed my head. "Have any of you been caught making out and almost have sex with someone?" That made the Earth pony grin at me and RD. "So that who Snake eyes was talking about." She then laughed. "Oh to be young and full of life." She the winks at the both of us.
"Now, now stop teasing the poor things I think it lovely that they don’t mind showing off that they love each other." Said the unicorn mare as she smiled warmly at us.
"Ugh you guys are just as worse as Applejack and the rest of our friends back home." I said as hid my face behind RD’s left wing, hoping to hide myself from even more embarrassment.
We all then heard what sounded like a rock slide I see a cloud of dust cover the robot as it backed up to show some kind of large opening. I then heard Asphyxious laugh and fly in to the large opening as two robot things follow him and then he yell out of it. "Come on Amy you guys you have to see this!"
"If you planning on embarrassing me even more, I’m gonna falcon punch you in the ass." I yell out from where I was standing. "Their a grant warjack down here!” I hear his voice echo from the opening. "This I have to see!" said the Rottweiler dog as she run down and grab a touch and go down into the opening.
"Not to sound like an idiot or anything." I said as I start to walk down myself. "Which is the understatement of the year." Rainbow Dash mumbled. which I in turn punched her in the arm for that. "Ow! Bitch."
"Now girls no need of that besides there could be some really good stuff down their, come on fluffy!" Yelled the earth pony mare as one of the large robot things follows her into the tunnel as well. "Well at least there’s nothing down there planning on killing us this time." I said as I had Rainbow Dash fly us down into the hole.
The tunnel seemed to open in to a large cave the deeper we went, not only that but we found strange suit of armor all over the place. It almost looked like their was some kind of battle down here once. But one thing was bothering me all the suits of armor looked like something a human would wear.
"This place is kind of creepy." Said the earth pony as she go up and pulls the helmet off one of the suits of armor only for the bones in side to fall in on itself. The crazy thing that got my eye was the human like skull that fell out of the helmet.
"Huh? Reminds me of the time we went to that creepy pasta dimension 3 years ago." I said holding on to Rainbow arm a little worryingly.
"Yeah, don’t remind me." Said Rainbow Dash. Than a voice called out that almost made me jump out of my skin. "Hay Gear Shift you gotta see this thing!" It was that rotty from before. “On my way!” Yelled out the earth pony who I now guessed was Gear Shift. The pony then put the helmet in bag and runs off deeper into the cave with her large robot following her like a pet dog. A pet dog with a large drill for a hand.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Altar said using my mouth as we walked deeper into the cave and saw what to me looked like the bones of some kind of werewolf in armor.
"Indeed something weird is about to happen." Said Selena as I walked over the head of one of those robot things. I then saw something that looked like glowing crystals in the rocks and the cave looked like it was opening up to something bigger that when I saw it. It was a huge cavern with hundreds of those robot things everywhere. Not a single one of them look the same, they all looked like they took part in some kind of huge war and this was all that left of them.
"This thing is huge!" Yelled out Gear Shift. And when I looked to see what she was talking about I saw a large Mach with what looked like one of it arms missing and with it first in the back of some kind of robot crab thing. Asphyxious was just standing their looking up at the things.
"So is this the thing you were talking about?" I Asked. He just pointed at all the other machines as he slowly said this. "I didn’t even notices these two tell I got a better look down here… I have no idea what these are…" Before I could say anything else the shard in my chest started to glow a dark purplish color.
"Do you know what this means… Equis and the Iron Kingdoms are the same planet… Oh my god this is huge!" Said Asphyxious as he put his hands on his head.
For some reason I felt myself drawn to this thing. Unknowing to myself I was walking towards it, like it was calling for me. As I was walking at it I lifted my hand up to it. "Amy what are you doing?" Asked Asphyxious as I could feel the glow from him showing off more details of this thing. The blade like horn on it head was broken and it body was damaged but it almost like it was calling out for someone.
I ignored what he was saying as I touched the broken mech. As I did I felt a surge of energy go through me. It engine revved to life as black smoke started to pour out of the many stacks out of it back it even tried to get up even with it broken limbs it gave a groan as it trying to follow my will to stand but can’t.
The hell? I Thought as I was staring to panic not knowing what to do.
I then saw Asphyxious quickly reach out and touch the machine head I felt another will with in it. Giving it the command to calm down and rest, it stop struggling and seemed to look at me as if looking into my soul it then looked at him and I heard a old voice spoke from within it inside my head.
Master…. Asphyxious…. Mistress.... Deneghra….
The light from within stopped glowing and it fell in a heap at my feet. I could still feel this other being but I felt I could follow it to where it was coming from and I saw it was coming from him. "Wait what?" I said looking at skeletor. "What the hell did it call me?"
He just shakes his head and gets a better look at it. "I think it thought I was the real Asphyxious, seeing as you can use magic it also means if you find out how you could control warjacks to. But this thing, it must of thought you was it mistress Deneghra… Asphyxious loyal right hand woman. I saw bit of it memory it was in some kind of battle, it then moved on to many other battles then something was wrong… Something happen to the planet and it was sent into one last battle. I could not make out the rest." He sigh as he looks around.
"Whatever happened down here was one major war." He said as he looks at the large cavern.
"Huh final fantasy 7 much?" I said trying to make light of what just happened, I swear I could almost feel just how happy this thing was to be back with it… Mistress.
"Not even close… I think maybe Lord Toruk had a hand to play in all this." He growled out the name as if it was a poison. "Who knows what could have happened between now and then, it like trying to guess what wiped out the dinosaurs."
"Fair point, so what do we do now?" I asked. He looked like he was about to say something until I heard a voice call out of no where.
"Yo Asphyxious it me Dox I could really use some help here buddy."
"Well looked like I’m getting a call, do you think you will be okay by yourself for a little bit. I got to help out another displaced." A portal opens as he waves for his two robot things to go through. "Wish me luck!" He called out as he walks into the portal.
"Guess we’ll head back home then I guess? If you need my help just give me a call with that token you have from me." The portal then closes behind him leaving Amy and RD alone with a diamond dog and pony who were looking at the in sides of one of those warjack things Asphyxious was talking about.
"I’m starting to think weird things like this happens a lot when I’m around you Amy." Said Rainbow Dash using my token to open a portal back home.
"Yeah like ponyville isn’t as weird as this." I said but kept getting this feeling I was being watched and it was coming from that thing. That thought I was it Mistress… creepy.
"Well let’s get a move on then mistress." Rainbow Dash said teasing me after what that thing said to me. And once again I punched her in the arm again.
