3rd Pony POV Twilight


It took Twilight approximately five minutes to fine the Hall of Statues that Booksalot was in and run past him down a staircase due to her enhanced speed. She had been ignoring everything so far intent on finding her daughter Taissy.


1st Pony POV


"Wha.....What?" I ask as I take a few steps back. I then hear hoof steps and torches light up the room relieving hundreds of Equin shaped bodies thrown and laying about the room. Standing in the middle of the room stood six mechanical ponies about my size and all of them identical with horns and wings making them all Alicorns. Looking at them closely I noticed lines of different colored magical energy flowing across their bodies and pulsing like a heartbeat on all six in unison. "Who.....Who are you ponies?" I ask them.

"We are the Alicorn Hordes." the one, with blue lines, said in my voice scaring me even more that it sounded so much like me. "At least us six are what's left." said another, with red. The alicorn with green lines flowing across its body steps forward watching me curiously before stating, "You're lost and confused. You don't want to be a weapon any more. You also haven't seen your mothers have you?" The yellow alicorn then stepped around and pushed the green one back muttering "I apologize about Number Four's personality. She's always philosophical." All six of their heads suddenly look at the staircase behind me as if expecting something when I then got the feeling of somepony about to run into me from behind when I hear, *BBVVVVHUUM* and notice a flash of blue in front of me. *THUD* "Owwww" came a voice from behind me I turn around and see a purple alicorn with a well kept mane and rubbing her flank as if she had fallen on it hard. Her cutie mark is a six pointed star I couldn't look any further because that's when she looked up at me and smiled softly before asking "Are you Taissy?"

"Uh..... Yes?" I question not sure who this pony was I take a glance over at the mechanical alicorns for advise but they just shrug. Before I could turn around to face the purple alicorn on the ground I feel hooves wrap around me in a hug and hear her crying softly "Don't worry Taissy. Your mother is here." I heard her say "What?" I ask her confused. She then put me a hoof length and smiles at me warmly "I'm sorry where are my manners? I am Twilight Sparkle your mother thanks to a spell I recently learned that takes DNA from two ponies and makes a foal. You also look exactly like Candy said you did." she giggles as she covers her smile with a hoof.

"Excuse me?" I ask her slightly confused, "You're saying that I was made from a spell and don't actually have any missing memories." "You were also originally an energy weapon with a tactical artificial intelligence." said one of the alicorns behind me. I then sigh and look at Twilight saying "I'm not even going to question them. So..... Should we go home, Mom?"

Twilight smiled and nodded "Follow me Taissy" she says proudly as she starts to head back up the stairs.


1st Pony POV Friendship Castle


The six alicorns from the ruins had followed me and my mother home to her castle, she's apparently a princess, it seems that they are serious about what they told me and having made me their commander. When we had arrived Mom explained to me that I had an older sister named Candy Burn, who I had already met, and her wife to be Fluttershy. I had spent a little bit of time talking to my family and the alicorns, we asked them their names and in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple they all spoke with my voice and said their names her One, Two, Three, Four, Five, and Six. After that they said that they would be heading off to different points of the castle to watch the night sky, once they had left I then had gone to bed.

The next morning I woke up and and quickly took a shower and brushed my teeth before just staring at my reflection in the mirror. "I'm still a weapon." I think to myself, "But, I have a whole loving family. Candy seems like she'll be a good sister while Twilight and Fluttershy seem to be trying to make their relationship work out." With a sigh I pulled myself from my own thoughts before going to my door to go and find the kitchen for breakfast. When I open the door I find myself staring at, myself. I take a step back startled and look the other me up and down noticing that this doppelganger had wings and its cutie mark was purple instead of black like mine. "Uh.......Who are you?" I ask curiously. My doppelganger tilts her head then smiles and speaks with my voice "I'm Taissy Number Six! You probably don't recognize me due to the final stages of our convergence." I quickly facehoof myself not knowing what else to do as I walk past Six and toward the kitchen, Six had stepped aside for me and followed at a respectful distance.

Trotting into the kitchen I see my mothers and my sister Candy sitting around the table with Spike and the other five drones that all looked exactly like me except for their different colored cutie marks. Upon seeing the glare I got from Twilight I smiled sheepishly and asked "Uh..... Can I get paid for their guard duty?" "It would be most logical since we are just extensions of Taissy that she gets paid for our work." said alicorn that looked like me with the orange cutie mark, her name was Two.
