Heart of Utopia

It was that time of day again…Inspecting the golems and their energy signatures. Every golem had to be read before refueling them. If a golem has too much energy it could explode. If a golem had to little the pieces of armor that formed its body will fall apart and leave a large mess. Golem God had a machine to do this inspection automatically, but after Utopia hit its depression state with the almost lost Turmoil the energy output of the sun fortress diminished. ‘What? The sun fortress can be depressed? YES IT CAN! Because all golems aren’t just mindless machines. They have feelings and Utopia was part golem. It had feelings and it radiated with warmth and love when it was happy.

Golem God wasn’t completely human; he among others of Utopia could sense energies that no one else could. Golem was able to sense the emotions of other creatures and even the emotions that came from Utopia as it slept in the clouds. Utopia felt lonely being unable to see the blue skies its big sister created as her light reflected off of the atmosphere. Impulse could sense this too since it was his machine after all. But each member had a connection to Utopia as if it was the caretaker.

“Utopia…Don’t be sad, you have your children to keep you company.” Said Golem to the impulse engine.

“Somethin the matter G.G.?” Said Impulse as he appears from behind Golem.

“I know you sense her, you built her…” Impulse didn’t respond for a moment.

“I do…it worries me more than you think. Utopia seems distant like Nano. It isn’t normal but I know her well enough that Utopia wants to be alone in her thoughts. But I have a pretty good idea of what she wants.”

“Y-you do?” Golem was shocked Impulse didn’t mention this earlier to him.

“Yes…She wants to hold the sun itself; or at least control herself like one.”

“I-I don’t understand?”

“She wants to be bigger. Look around you…This is like a trailer compared to that cloud city; Utopia is jealous.”

“But why didn’t she say anything to me?”

“Because she doesn’t want her children to worry about mother…But it’s ok I have a solution.”

“Really what?”

“It involves the ponies.” He winks.

“Oh…I understand now. Clever you over powered bastard.”

“Yea I thought so too.” Impulse backs into the walls of utopia and is absorbed by them. Golem God turns back to the Utopian impulse engine.

“You hear that mother. We can help you.”

Peace Keeper went down to Watchman’s observatory and found him looking into another one of his crystal balls. Watchman looks up and gives two fingered quick salute and goes back to his work. Keeper knew the drill and went over to Watchman’s file cabinet and pulled out the file with ‘Peace Keeper’ on it. The file contained the information on each countries relation with each other. (Of course)

Keeper was pleased with the first few pages he skimmed and went to his room and started making a diagram of pictures of important griffons and ponies with their general information summarized below each picture. He used different colored lines of string to represent different relationship statuses to each member of society.

First was the blue strings that represented family. Then red that represented enemies. And yellow represented neutral. Then one or two showed up that weren’t common. Pink…Representing love.

After he started applying the red he noticed something off. ‘This world looked so peaceful, yet here are all these red lines that stretch across my room.’ He looks around and notices something VERY worrisome. A red line attached to a picture with a pink one…and they were connecting to two kingdoms. But not by the same people.

Some prince was in love…While some princess was too. And both their countries were enemies…Then he applies the most dreaded color of all…Black. The color of war.

“Good lord what is happening?”

Beast Master was having fun looking over his new body. Before the transfer into Equestria Witch Doctor gave him some dragon skin. Not actual dragon skin but hybrid human dragon cross over that made it so Beast Master was difficult to wound or hurt. Beast Master goes to Witch Doctor to do so many experiments with animal DNA with his body that he may no longer be considered human. Utopia tried to send messages to Beast Master to stop but he can’t sense her wishes like her other children. Beast Master may have the senses of an animal but he doesn’t have the telepathy required to speak to mother and only takes advice from his close friends who live in Utopia.

Though today was just too different. He wanted to go out and meet this Fluttershy Rainbow Dash spoke of. Though being confined to this floating world is something he will have to live with for now. Instead he spars with a bear…Wut?

Though today was just too different. He wanted to go out and meet this Fluttershy Rainbow Dash spoke of. Though being confined to this floating world is something he will have to live with for now. Instead he spars with a bear…What?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Golem God walks around Utopia casually scanning his golems as he passes by. He detects low energy signatures on some and marks them to return to ‘the energy hub’ where energy would be pumped into them. Then he hears a crash large thud come from the room above him…its Beast Masters room…

“Of all that is holy? What is Beast Master wrestling now?”

He ignores the interruption of his train of thought and goes back to scanning the golems he passes. Eventually he selects a few for a preparation of contact with nobles. They would be the select golems that will remain below Utopia defending the landing zone for the arrival of the chosen diplomats. He wasn’t given orders to do that but he knew it would be done at some point. He knew that today was the day for each of the members of Utopia will chose the missionaries to spread the good will. Peace Keeper kept out of first contact things. He was good with maintaining peace, not forming alliances.

Golem God however is very charming in his priest like outfit. His presence is like the presence of the priest at church. You must have respect for him. His way with words and flattery can make you trust him as well. By far he is no religious man. But he does like to pass down the right teachings so others can follow a life of the faithful.

He was now finished with his selections of refueling and started toward the hanger before Peace Keeper came on the loud speaker.

‘Come to the conference room. We hear the princesses will arrive soon and we need to choose our representatives.’

Everyone instinctively dropped everything and went to the conference room. Once there nearly everyone noticed the differences in Binary and Witch Doctor.

Impulse spoke up first. “What happened to you two?”

Witch Doctor was covered in vines and Binary was wearing the biggest grin on his face.

“Well we discovered how to give ourselves…Well super powers!”

The room fell silent for a moment; until of course Impulse spoke up.

“Ok what happened?”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Witch Doctor looked at Binary with the biggest grin.

“These files you’ve created are just. Just…genius!”

“Thank you, thank you. Now let’s get to stasis. I don’t want to wait any longer.”

“All right then, you first. If your method is wrong then I can bring you back and save you.”

“All right let’s do this!” Binary pull vaults into the stasis chamber and lies on his back while waiting for it to close.

Witch Doctor stood next to the chamber and activated the machine; which in turn closed the stasis chamber. Binary was now at the machines mercy as the inside starts to glow with power directly from the core of Utopia. After several minutes of a radiant yellow glow coming from the chamber it opens and reveals Binary almost unchanged.

“D-did it work?” Said Witch Doctor.

Binary looks at his hands and then to a beaker on the counter in the room. He lifts up his hand toward it and starts to think of it floating…It worked. The beaker was now a foot off the counter and it shot toward Binary and caught it in his hand.

“Yes my friend…It worked.” He said with a rightfully confident grin.

“My turn.”

Witch Doctor instructs Binary in how to work the chamber, giving him VERY specific instructions and the reasons behind them. Binary didn’t need the reasons but he understood Doctor’s worries since Binary has never used this machine before. After an hour worth of notes and instructions Witch Doctor nervously got into the chamber. Binary wouldn’t let him down as he activated the machine with expert care.

Light began to pour through it once more. And Witch Doctor emerged from the chamber several minutes later.

He got up and went over to a potted plant he had in the room. When he grabbed it the plant started to grow vines around his arm and it latched to his cloths.

“HAHA! IT WORKED!” Exclaimed Binary.

“Yes but did it give me control? Time for a field test don’t you agree?” the maliciousness was clear in the doctors voice.

Several minutes later Binary was caught up in a web of vines suspended in the air.

“HAHA! A HUMAN WEB IS BEST WAY TO CAPTURE A CODER!”

“Funny! But I can take this down whenever I feel!” Binary and Witch Doctor then proceeded to do an epic battle worthy of legends…But I’m not going to write about it cuz I don’t feel like it. (Lawl)

‘Come to the conference room. We hear the princesses will arrive soon and we need to choose our representatives.’

They stopped their legendary battle and they left the scorched room filled with broken glass and vines…And even a loose Equestrian frog.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ten specialists that weren’t there listened to the epic details and they all had jaws on the floor. (U jelly?)

“Umm…Damn. Ok so who do we want to represent us during our first encounter?” Said Peace Keeper.

“I believe Turmoil will be the best to represent our hardships. Sky will get the conversation going and…I don’t know who else after that.” Said Impulse.

“I know who should represent us!” Shouted Sky effectively getting everyone’s attention. “G.G. will be good! He’s always rambling nice stuff that I find pretty cool so they may think the same about him. PK over here should go too!” She shouted joyously.

“Well I don’t want to go down there unless I really need too. As much as I’d like to meet the rulers of the realm I would still want to put together a proper diagram of the world powers and their relations. Though I do wish to have Watchman down there as well. Not only are his crystal balls capable of firing bolts of lightning but can return to utopia after this is over.”

Sound Wave as quiet…She was listening to music through her head phones. No one bothered Wave during her mini raves. It was just…A death sentence. She never really cared for first contact and would always come late to the party (so to speak) when she was engrossed with music.

Turmoil was listening to the proceedings and couldn’t help but noticed Smoke Machine’s distance from the group.

“Machine…” Smoke came back to his senses and looked at Turmoil awaiting a question. “…What bothers you?”

“…Well you noticed the clouds in Equestria don’t move by natural forces right? There is literally no wind here.”

“You’re right that does trouble me…But I wouldn’t know.” He said that more coldly than needed. Turmoil didn’t notice how rude his statement was until he said it. “Sorry that came off wrong.”

“I take no offence. Actually now I kinda feel guilty. But regardless we all notice this right?”

Every head nodded in agreement…Except Wave’s whose head was nodding before hand.

“All right. Who votes for the current choice of representatives? Watchman, Golem, Turmoil, and Sky.”

Everyone raises their hand. Except for Wave.

“All right. Proceedings over. Now someone volunteer to sacrifice themselves to tell Wave we’re done.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The princesses were on their way to Ponyville.

“Tia? How does one earn the trust of creatures from other worlds?”

Celestia looked at her sister with a neutral expression.

“I don’t know sister. But hopefully they would want our trust as well.” She smiles warmly toward her sister. “So far they haven’t done any harm to our innocent ponies so I know they don’t mean harm. Even if their fortress is stationed above the town of Ponyville.”

“I hope you’re right…”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turmoil and Sky were looking down on the world; Golem and Watchman stand behind them speaking of how they were going to handle the princesses.

“Yes I should descend first with my golden wings, and then Sky will buzz on down with her Dragonfly. Then you will come down by teleporting through the crystal energies.”

“Wait actually I think I should go down first through my crystal energies. Then Sky, you, and Turmoil.”

“Wait why?”

“Well if they choose to fight then at least I will be there first and be able to leave as fast as I can. Then there is the fact I can knock them out with a shock from my crystal balls.”

“Ok gotta admit talking about your crystal balls is kinda weird…Call them drones.”

“…You’re weird…”

“Y-you’re joking right?”

“HEY GUYS THERE HERE!” Yelled Sky

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The chariot carrying the princesses was approaching Ponyville at a steady rate. They kept checking the skies for the so called Utopia that Twilight mentioned. When they neared Ponyville a glass orb came up to them. The four guards on all sides moved in front to block the glass orb from getting any closer to the princesses. The orb itself moved away and toward a clearing.

“Follow it.” Said Celestia.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“It looks like they can interoperate meaning through motion well. I will be first to set down and-“

“HOLD ON! Watchman let them summon us! Rainbow is down there heading toward the princesses.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rainbow got close to Luna and Celestia.

“Hey want me to get them?” Said Rainbow.

“Yes Rainbow, I would like you to go inform them of our arrival.” Said Celestia.

Rainbow flies up to Utopia that was still hidden inside a cloud. She passes through easily now that it accepts her.

“Yo!” She said to no one in particular.

“Sup bow!” Said Sky. Rainbow smiled at the nick name. Apparently it wasn’t that bad.

“Yea well the princesses are here and wish to…See you.” At this point she sees Turmoil.

Turmoil needed to defuse her worry. “Thank you winged one. I believe he have not met. I am Turmoil the defense specialist. I will be the one protecting my comrades along side Watchman as Sky Rider and Golem God negotiate peace between our nations.”

Rainbow rubs the back of her neck. “Okaaay. So I’ll see you guys down there.”

She speeds off and Golem turns to Watchman.

“I think I should go first then you. My grace will fill them with hope of relation and your watchful eyes will keep me safe.”

“UGH! No time to argue! Fine just go. Turmoil you’re last to join us.”

“Understood Watcher.”

A pair of gold butterfly like wings appear on Golem. They are slanted forward so they catch as much air as a parachute would. The wing span was over ten feet each side and he jumps out of the hanger to make his slow decent toward the ground.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The princesses are almost shocked to see the beauty of such golden wings. They weren’t sure if they were talking to humans anymore. Golem was making a very slow graceful decent that would make Rarity proud. He had the golden plate armor his golems carry and whatever wasn’t plate armor was a tunic. He landed on the ground in front of the princesses and his wings slowly were retracting into his back and into nothingness.

“Good welcome regal ones. I am the almighty golem. Other wise known as Golem God.” Said Golem as he bows to the princesses. Twilight came around the corner as fast as she could. She was about to speak but realized she was known and the princesses were talking to the newcomers.

“Well good to meet you Golem God. I am princess Celestia; this is my sister Luna.”

Golem looks between them realizing how astral their names are. But he didn’t have much time to question them before Watchman zapped onto the ground from a lightning bolt that came out of a glass orb. The princesses’ guards jumped a little not out of fear but because of alertness.

“I’m the great watcher. Other wise known as Watchman.” He bows too.

“I’m princess-“

“Celestia and Luna. This is Ponyville. Your capital is Canterlot. It’s ok I’m Watchman the great watcher. I learn through my sight and my sight sees all.” He points toward a glass orb.

“HEY DON’T INTERUPT THE PRINCESSES!” Shouted Rainbow.

Then a buzzing noise came from above them. Sky Rider was descending with a Dragonfly. She landed behind the other two specialists.

“YO! I’m Sky Rider the queen of the heavens!”

“Shut up Sky you’re not the queen of the heavens!” shouted Watchman.

“Ok ok, I’m the aeronautics genius of Utopia. So I build flying stuff!” She said proudly.

“Interesting. I’m princess Celestia and this is my sister Luna.”

“Nice too meet you…Oh hey just so you know a guy with a REALLY big suit of armor who is my Bestest friend and master of defense is coming down here to give you a 101 on how not to piss him off.” She giggled.

*BOOM!*

Turmoil landed on the ground throwing dust into the air and shaking the ground on impact. He rose from the brown dust and looked into the eyes of each princess. Their guards responded by pointing their spears toward him and moved in front of the princess.

“I am Turmoil.”

The princesses shocked expression disappeared and she said “I am princess Celestia. This is my sister Luna. We have come to guarantee the safety of our subjects. Can you do this for me?”

“Ah Celestia the goddess of the sun.” Said Turmoil. “I give my word I want no harm to any creature of the land.”

“That’s good to hear.” Celestia sounded pleased. “Why is it you come to us?”

“Princess I will answer that.” Said Golem. “We are travelers. Our reasons we go to different realms is the same as the reasons an everyday adventurer would. That is to learn and explore. We however travel not only for information, but for a home.” At the last sentence Golem looks down as if depressed by the memories.

“I am the aftermath of our searches.” Said Turmoil. “I used to be flesh and blood…” He looks up. “The sun on my face…Fresh air in my lungs. And the grass beneath my feet.” He looks down toward the ground. “I remember these things. But now I live in a world without them.”

Celestia and Luna look at each other. Luna speaks up. “How? How did you lose your ability to experience these things?”

“My rules are simple. Harm anyone who doesn’t deserve foul treatment and you are my enemy. Many have broken that rule.”

Turmoil tells them the story of how he ended up in a suit of armor acting as his life support. Everypony’s eyes were pin pricks when they heard the grueling details of the nuclear explosion. And Celestia even winced when he described the damage that the explosion did to him and the people around him.

“I’m sorry Turmoil…My initial thoughts of you were wrong. I believed you were heartless based on appearance alone.” Said Luna with her head down. “I’m sorry that your state of being is because you chose other lives over your own.”

“My form is of my choice. If it terrifies the innocent then let them keep a distance. I was chosen to tell my tail of turmoil and that is what I’ve done. Now excuse me while I return to my duties as a specialist.” Turmoil turns around and faces Utopia that was still hidden in the clouds. He leaps up into the air and the jump jets launch him even faster into the skies. With the forward thrusters controlling his momentum he was able to reach Utopia fairly quickly before the thrusters died down and he would have to wait for them to recharge.

“Is that where you stay? In that cloud?” Said Celestia.

“OH yea we forgot to expose it didn’t we?” Said sky toward Golem

“Hmm I guess we did. Watchman will you do the honors?”

Watchman saluted then zap teleported through a glass orb back to Utopia.

“It will only be a few minutes.” Said Golem. “I’m interested to hear more about your culture but it will have to wait. Utopia isn’t finished. Before the great war that sent us to our great journeys through alternate dimensions we had to rush the building of Utopia. Nano Swarm was able to supply us with material and platinum but we still needed a lot more than what we have now. Utopia is only at a tier one stage at the moment and we need a harvesting ground. So that means we need land to take things from.”

“So you want mines?” Said Celestia.

“Not just mines but entire acres of land. Without them we won’t be able to defend ourselves properly if anything comes at us. We can defend ourselves now but our forces are too small and we can’t even occupy Ponyville even if we wished too.”

“Why would you want an army?” Celestia said accusingly.

“To defend ourselves against you.” Said Golem coldly.

“Us? Why us? We don’t intend to harm you!” Twilight spoke up finally.

“And we don’t know that. You may be kind enough to meet with us but you haven’t proven to us that you won’t be a threat.”

“Well you haven’t shown that you could be trusted either!”

“This is true but we still don’t know one another enough. Sky will make continuous return trips to Ponyville along with other founding members to learn the ways of the indigenous population. I hope all doubts of our intentions will be quelled quickly.

“I hope so as well. May there be a bright future between us.” Said Celestia.

“Oh hold a sec…Watchman is parting the clouds.” Said Golem as he looks up.

*BOOM*

A shockwave of yellow light splits the cloud that hid Utopia and clears the skies. Everyone outside saw it. The rumors of strange creatures in the skies were now confirmed as Utopia’s neon gold exterior gives the ground an almost blinding light.

“That is Utopia. It is known as ‘The Fortress of the Sun’. It is also the reason why your regal nature doesn’t affect me Celestia. For I know a more regal being. We call her mother.”

Golem disappears into light and a cloud of bright golden mist flies up to Utopia.

“So yea I guess I’m left here.” Said Sky. “OH RAINBOW!”

“Y-yea?” Said Rainbow confused by her unnecessary outburst.

“Wana race?”

“You bet!”

They fly off toward Utopia. Luna never stopped gazing at the golden building in the sky. It seemed impossible for something not made out of cloud could fly like that. Celestia noticed this too and she put a hand on Luna’s shoulder.

“Sister…Our new friends have much to teach us. Let’s think of ways we can exchange their knowledge for land.”

(My keyboard broke for a while…Ok well actually for some reason it started spitting out code while I was typing so I was delayed so fucking much.) (I don’t like how the ending and stuff turned out though. It’s been a stressful week and expect delays for the rest of the week cuz I’ve got finals.)
