Rainbow finally gets a chance to meet up with Cole in the dungeons of Canterlot. Cole was doing push ups out of boredom. He was on 3,045 and the guards who were passing by stopped to watch him do 1,000 more before continuing on with their shift. Every guard has done push ups as they were mandatory for training. They all could feel the burn after at least 50 or so but when Cole didn’t even break a sweat at 100 they couldn’t help but stare for a few hours. Dash walked in on the awed faces of two guards as they watched Cole do pushups. She almost laughed but realized who they were looking at. Princess Luna accompanied her into the dungeon with Twilight and Applejack in tow.
“3,046” Cole was counting out loud. Applejack immediately stopped and had the same awed expression as the guards when she realized he was counting how many pushups he was doing.
“C-Cole?” Said Rainbow.
Cole looks at Rainbow and without any emotion he looks back at the ground and continues. “Jail time is so boring. I’ve even resorted to exercising to keep myself from committing suicide.” He stopped at the peak of a push up and looked back at Rainbow. “RAINBOW YOU’RE ALIVE!” He dashes into the glass in front of Rainbow. “Rainbow I love you!” He says with a grin ear to ear.
“Umm okaaay? Why’d you stab me?” Said Rainbow with a raised eyebrow.
“So I can be here in Canterlot.” Luna’s had the widest eyes at this point. “I needed a place to stay other than your cloud home.” Cole still had is grin.
“Wait so you stabbed me so you couldn’t mooch off me? THAT IS THE DUMBEST REASON TO DO THAT!” (Rainbow Rage all the way) Applejack notices that what he said was true. However she couldn’t read him like she could back at the library…Something was…off.
“Hey Bow calm down girl.” Cole still had a signature smile.
“CALM DOWN? YOU STABBED ME!”
“For a better reason than to just get out of your hair trust me.” Applejack was became flabbergasted…He was telling the truth about leaving for a much better reason but he was also telling the truth about a place to stay. She dismissed it quickly since they sounded more like a double reason than a conflicting statement.
“Did you know Cole is no longer the fasted flyer in all of Equestria?” said Cole.
“IF YOU EVER GET OUT I WILL BEAT-Wait what?” (Rainbow ceases her all caps rage)
“Yea since Cole is dead that puts you back on top.” Now Applejack is at a lose. She can tell when people lie. She can tell when people try to misguide you. And she saw none of this in Cole. Twilight and Rainbow looks at her with a questioning look. Trying to make sure what Cole said is true. They didn’t believe him but when they saw Applejack they weren’t so sure.
Applejack speaks. “W-wait…If yer not Cole then…Who are y’all?”
“Unit 23627 of the Trinity at your service.” The not Cole stands up and takes a bow.
“Wait so ya ain’t Cole?”
“Yes I’m not Cole. And I know it would be difficult for you to remember my full name so please call me Unit.”
“Ok unit.” Said Twilight. “Where is Cole? If he died his body must be somewhere.”
“I’m glad you asked! Ok I’m not but I’m programmed to be emotional. Well Cole’s body never left your sight. This is Cole’s body…I’m just wearing it.”
There was a group of ‘eeeeeeeeww’s in the room.
“What? I know it must be a bit difficult to understand but for now please accept my apologies as I now leave you all.”
Cole explodes into dust, shattering the glass and his ashes seem to fly away on their own accord. Rainbow was first to give chase.

Eventually Twilight and Applejack caught up to Rainbow. She was at the mouth of a cave that went into the mountain side with her own mouth as open as it was physically possible. She was in awe. The others look down into the cave and see why. A great steel ship was being constructed by swarms and slowly was forming around the cave. The walls of the cave were being converted into plate metal and the ship was unfinished. Painted on the side of the ship was “Trinity of Triumph”. They walk into the cave together and come up to a platform that seemed to allow one to walk into the decks. They go inside and inspect it before they hear a voice.
Foreign entities detected. Processing threat…Foreign entities have security clearance. Standing down.
“What the hay was that?” Said Applejack.
“I don’t know but I want to find out. Come on girls!” Said Twilight.
Rainbow almost missed what twilight said because the swarm was acting up again.
‘Do you know where you are yet?’
“No I don’t.” Rainbow said out loud drawing the attention of Twilight and Applejack. Applejack realized what was going on but Twilight has yet to find out.
“Rainbow we have to do this.” Said Twilight.
“Hey Twi? Lets head on in without her ok?” Said AJ
“But we should stick together.”
“No Twi it’s ok. This place is still being built. Besides the voice said we’re clear to go around right?” (wolfGear is done with southern accents for today)
“B-but AJ” Applejack pushes her through the double doors away from Rainbow and they leave.”
‘This is the Trinity of Triumph. The ship General Cole commanded.’
“But why would he rebuild it?” Said Rainbow now alone with her swarm.
His death was necessary for Equestria to continue on its own timeline rather than the one set in stone by the Trinity’s mainframe.
Rainbow looks around at the room she’s in. She sees a blue light in an adjacent room and she goes into it.
Rainbow Dash of sky clan. That is how we know you. That is what we know you as…I was told by Cole to tell you the reasons why he had to die.
Rainbow looks at the large screen now before her.
When Cole came into this realm…Well when Cole created this realm he had a few files on him that shaped his molecules into a new dimension. He realized that him living in this world was destroying it because he was a factor that never should have existed. By killing himself it allowed to world to stabilize and run without his foreign interference. He was an unnatural element in a perfect world. This could have collapsed all time and space and killed everything that has done right and wrong.
“…What?”
His life was destroying Equestria.
“Oh…WAIT WHAT?”
If you were to live he had to die. He poisoned himself and got his swarm to take over his body until you came and they would explain everything. Or most of it, and bring you here for me to tell you. But Rainbow Dash of Sky Clan this is not all the information you need to know.
“Ok what else do I need to know?”
The wall opens up to her left. Inside there a massive space with what looked like a large aquarium. There was a platform that went from the room she was in to the cylinder with water inside. It was a strange blue liquid though. There was something in the center of it too.
“What…The hay?” Rainbow walks closer and closer to the cylinder that was attached the ceiling and floor. There was a big machine attached to it and the side facing her had a control panel. She walked up to the panel and saw a human figure with heartbeat monitors and something called ‘Restoration 10%’ on it. “What is this?” No response.
She looked at the tank again and saw a fetus inside it. It looked human. She sits there thinking. Deep in thought too. She’s never encountered this before and she knew it had to be a fetus. It didn’t look fully formed. She compared it to a fetus of a foal and there were major differences. She realized this could only mean one thing…
That the story was over.

My name is BioChemicalWolfGear and I am now ready to finish up this story and continue on to making a different title. I’m sorry if I ended it too abruptly. But know what…The way I ended this one leaves me the opportunity…To make more in the future.
The ending wasn’t that exciting I admit but what eves. I have a new project I REALLY WANT TO WORK ON! I guarantee it will be ten times greater than this ;P
OK check out my newest story 'The Twelve Specialists"
Edit: oh and I promise you that there will be refferences to this story ;P
