Equestria worst wars was before the princesses and Discord`s rule over the country. A time of pain and suffering, an evil dictator makes a warrior, a super solider.
Equestria worst wars was before the princesses and Discord`s rule over the country. A time of pain and suffering, an evil dictator makes a warrior, a super solider.
Twilight has heard this story many times before and through nothing of it, but when she has the change to examine the said dictator`s secret bunker, she finds more than files.
The cold wind blowed over the land, as the purple alicorn princess Twilight Sparkle entered the old abandoned compound, she didn`t know how but she`d been separated from her friends.
All she could remember was a powerful breeze stirred all the leaves, with the autumn leaves, rustled and created a leaf storm, separating Twilight from her friends. Galloping to find a safe place to shelter, Twilight had stumbled across and old military bunker, with the cold wind still blowing. Twilight curiously when deeper into the complex.
Opening large filing cabinets full of files and other military data, all in old equestrian, with some files under the label uber-secret, one such file was labelled 'The Adviser'
Twilight flipped through the file only to find strange pictures of creatures and experiments only dreamt of in science fiction, whatever this 'Adviser' was it wasn`t a pony.
With a large scaled head with pure black eyes, and strange scars and markings across it`s scaled body, the only word that seem to sum up the creature was alien. With the file saying.
The Adviser crashed down near the bunker, injured and muttering about something the Dictator took him in to become the lead scientist in wiping out the scum species that desecrate the word 'Ponies'
The Adviser first 'experiments, was providing flight to unicorns, sub-spending life and a genome virus, capable of destroy everything but unicorns. Final experiments for the genome virus were carried out on prisoners of war, 500 earth pony soldiers were destroyed by the virus but not Pegasus and the genome virus was not modified due to it become toxic to unicorns.
The last project the Adviser worked on was a project 'uber solider', dub 'Terrorsaurs' based on the ancient fossils of prehistoric life, first experiments on pegasi failed due to their fragility, earth pony subjects survived, a large platoon was constructed of this 'uber soldiers' all of the ground base soldiers worked perfectly.
The only aerial soldier worked until his started to rebel, he was dealt with, but not before defeating the other 'uber soldiers' currently under deep freeze.
Twilight was appalled at the document in her magic, she was about to drop it when the another file court her eye.
'Uber Secret, Project Uber Soldier, test Subject 370. A.K.A 'Pterosaur'
Switching files Twilight seem surprised at the content of the file. A green monster of a pony, the height and mass of Big Mac soring at Rainbow Dash speeds on what can only be described as dragon wings.
Skimming the file Twilight found he was the only 'Uber Soldier' with their suit permanently grafted to their skin. The suit worked like normal skin with the durability of dragon scales. With an battery of light weapons stored on a detachable belt and harness, which a jet pack was attached for a speed increase.
The final piece of information surprised her the most though.'Stored in the deep freeze unit below command centre'
Twilight looked about, the only place with folders and documents like this was the command centre, she was on top of the largest military base in the pre-equestrian history.
Looking for a way down she found an old stair case, her hooves clanked down onto the metal grating of the lower levels.
The cold of the place astounded her, her breath clearly visible. Trotting along, she followed the massive brass pipe that lead down the metal catwalk, to a strange hissing sound was heard.
Poking her head around the corner, she found something incredible, a tube of ice, in a metal container, with the creature know as 'Pterosaur' inside, with his face snarled and clawed hoof placed on the tubes edge, frozen in a position of rage.
Twilight looked around and headed to the trapped pony, he didn`t look like a pony, she`d kept the file of 'Pterosaur' in her magic to take back, a tracing spell and the other files could be found easily.
Placing a hoof on the tube it was cold to the touch, a crack echoed through the hollow tunnels, Twilight wings flared and flew back a good few feet to put some distance in between her and the cracking tube.
The tubes lid cracked even more, with a large crack edging it way through the tube, Twilight was frozen in fear at the sight of it. The crack edge ever upwards until the tube smashed under it own lack of integrity, and the green hided stallion crashed to the metal mesh.
Twilight looked down on him for a moment, then his crimson eyes snapped open. and a snarl appeared on his face, Twilight flapped away again. As the soldier got to his feet he looked at Twilight in surprise "I though there were only 2 alicorns left in the world"
Twilight looked at her wings for a moment "Yes there`s only to immortal alicorns, I`m a unicorn that ascended to become an alicorn" she stated hopping that the stallion in front of her would understand.
He bowed "Princess" his voice not full of anger or frustration but respect. "How do you know that, you`ve been frozen for over 2 thousand years?!" she quickly covered her mouth with her hooves, with shrunken pupils.
The stallion look harden, as his brain processed the whole thing, it finally gave way to a cognitive sentence Who won?"
Twilight looked down for the moment "All of us in the long run, we made a new nation call Equestria and all live in harmony under the rule of Princess Celestia and Luna"
The stallion nodded "I am Pterosaur, thank you for freeing me your majesty" he said with a flewed movement. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, please could you stop with this your majesty stuff, it gives me the creeps"
Pterosaur nodded and started to walk, followed by Twilight, up the stair and into the warm autumn world above.
Twilight was greeted by the setting sun, stepping into the fading light Twilight gulped slightly, night was coming and she couldn't see Ponyville anywhere. Even here new home wasn`t viable.
Pterosaur looked at the sun, for the first time in a long time, then at the unicorn turned alicorn next to him. She was looking about in a panic. "Where is it? where is it?" she repeated quietly fluttering above the thick tree line. Whatever she was looking for wasn`t seen and returned defeated to the floor. Pterosaur placed a large claw/hoof on her shoulder "It`s too dangerous to move in this forest at night. We`ll have to wait until morning until it safe." he said he knew a night in this forest could kill the unprepared.
"Dangerous? How so?" asked Twilight, this forest weren't like the Everfree, no monsters roamed them, a few stories of ponies going missing in the night but other than that perfectly normal.
"Some of The Adviser's mistakes could still be present in the woods, mutated guard dogs mostly" he said peering into the gloom of the forest dense foliage. Then move back to the door way of the complex, ushering Twilight in.
"Mutated guard dogs?" she asked as they trotted down the corridors to the central control room.
Pterosaur nodded "Yeah, the Adviser made sure that before he left the unicorn forces he made a mark. The guard dogs he made were... wooden to say the lest" he said entering the room. and closing the massive steel door behind them. With a submarine style lock and hatch closing shut.
Twilight put pieces of information together "Wait Timbre-wolves are science experiments that got out?" she asked rapidly trotting over to the files and scanning through them.
"No, the guard dogs are domesticated versions of Timbre-wolves, the Adviser used a genetic accelerator to increase the breeding speed of the animal. One of the side affect was near sentience. The project was scrapped due to the higher ups not wanting anything rivalling them" he said sitting on a chair with his arms crossed.
Twilight frowned as she searched through the files once again, finding some of the work of 'The Adviser' then a through hit her 'What does The Adviser look like?' she pondered, as she was thinking Pterosaur was also thinking.
"Have I missed anything important?" he asked, Twilight turned with a raised eyebrow.
"Well that depends on your definition of important"
"'The world about to be destroyed as we know it' important" he replied using his finger much like a griffin would.
"Well, a Centaur tried to consume all the magic in Equestria, he`s know locked up in tartauros. The spirit of chaos and disharmony was reformed. And Princess Luna was consumed by jealousy and tried to place the world into eternal darkness, trap on the moon for a thousand years then reformed. I think that was everything?" she said unsure of anything else to add.
Pterosaur smiled slightly "Seems like nothing changed to much, anyway I assume your an academic type?"
"Yeah but how did you...?" she asked then realized the massive pile of files next to her.
"Call it intuition" he said with a smile "And knowing your type you`ll want to take those files back to Princess Celestia was it?" Twilight nodded
"They would be safer in Equestria than anyplace else, if they fall into somepony`s hoof that don`t care about anypony else it could be the precipice of disaster" she said flicking through another file.
"Ragnadon?" she said lifting the file closed with her magic.
Pterosaur frowned You found his file?" he moved over and looked at the file. "Your idea of taking them back seems even smarter know" he said looking through the other files.
"What so bad about this Ragnadon guy?" said Twilight opening the file, the image of Ragnadon in action made her nearly vomit.
"Ragnadon, his name literally meant 'Doom tooth' he`s the only one of all 375 of us who knew where we came from, the griffin land from the north. Named after there legond of the end of the world Ragnarock"
Twilight closed the file without a second through, hyperventilating, calming herself she turned to Pterosaur "We need a way off transporting all of this files in one go"
Pterosaur looked around and pointed to another file.
Twilight looked at him "What?" Pterosaur started packing all the files away, "Like a steam train without the tracks or the steam" picking up a filling cabinet with his wings he began to walk down the open doorway deeper into the complex. The dark corridor lights flickered on, and the bulbs hum was heard down the corridor. Pterosaur and Twilight trotted down the corridor, finally stopping at a door, with the word 'Test lab' opening it with a solid buck Pterosaur walked into the room.
Placing the cabinet down the lights turned on, the room was full of strange box like contraptions on wheels, with canvas backs and glass windows on the front, Pterosaur looked around for a moment, then walked over to the large green canvas covering something underneath.
Pulling it off, it reviled something strange, a small metal box with window and small rectangle protruding from the front of it with small light-bulbs placed in the front.
"What is that?" she asked walking over to the contraption.
"Troop transport in theory, the amount of magic needed was enormous through, only an alicorn magic was powerful and stable enough for fuelling it"
Twilight looked at the strange contraption, Pterosaur looked at the troop transportation as well, Twilight sent out a small magic spark, Pterosaur open the door and sat, fiddling with something under the window, the mechanical beast of the contraption roared into life.
"Come get in I`ll load the files" he said jumping out and placing the flies into the back of the metal box, Twilight studded the interior of the contraption, full of dials and switches, with a strange wheel on one side of the cabin a stick jutting out between both the seats.
Pterosaur got back in "Strap in" he stated, stamping down on a pedal in the hoof weal, and the contraption shot forwards, smashing through the wall, into the darkness of the night.
A single files floated to the ground, in the abandoned complex.
Twilight was panicking for her life. holding onto the dash-board for dear life, all her limbs streaked out straight, every bump in the road was felt, as the contraption rattled along the old forest path. With the small lights in the front not giving much lamination.
Pterosaur made a sharp turn, flinging Twilight and the cabinet into the left hand side of the transport. Her face plastered on the window. "Sorry" he said after the path straighten out.
Twilight looked out the window, the forest trees zipping by almost becoming a blur. as the trees became less dense, running paws were heard, looking out the window at the back, a large wooden bull-dog was chasing them. Pterosaur noticed as well.
"Twilight in my belt there`s a small black metal object" he said still driving, Twilight followed his directions
"Yeah got it what do I do with it?" she asked holding the small bladed disk in her magic.
"Throw it at the Timbre-hound" he stated.
Twilight gulped opening the window and leaning her head out, the blade was released and hit dead into the beasts chest, it collapsed to the ground, it red glowing eyes fixed on Twilight. It`s mournful howl echoed behind them.
Pterosaur pushed the peddle down harder, "You Ok?" he asked Twilight, who nodded shakily.
The transport when on into the darkness of the forest.
Applejack and Rainbow both sat near the bridge to Ponyville, hoping there friend would come back, Pinkie had gone to get something for them to eat.
"I`m back" bubbled the ever optimistic mare hopping down the cobblestone path, with a bag of cupcakes balanced on her head.
"Thank ya Pinkie" stated Applejack, as Pinkie passed out the cupcakes.
Rainbow eyes didn`t move from her perch on the bridge, focused on the distance, she didn`t like it sitting there not looking for Twilight.
"Ya`h ok Rainbow?" asked Applejack snapping her out of the trance.
"Yeah I`m fine, I just worried that all" she said returning to here watch.
Pinkie, suddenly shivered, then proceeded to front flip onto her head and span until she was 4 feet under ground, sitting up "Oh that a new one, I wonder what it means?
Applejack and Rainbow looked at each other at Pinkie, the similarity to a 'doozie' was staggering both off them looked out over the land.
Where are ya`h Twi?"
Pterosaur Twilight Sparkle Applejack Rainbow Dash Pinkie Pie
The transport had run out of magic, but being out of the forest, Pterosaur knew the Timbre-hounds wouldn`t follow. "Come on, we`ll walk" he said getting out.
It was still night but the road they were on was familiar, the one Twilight had used to get to the forest in the first place with her friends. Stepping out she looked around, Pterosaur moved the cabinet out of the transport.
"Come on, we better get moving before you start to get missed" he said closing the hatch of the transport.
Both of them started to walk away, when the sky started to turn red and a shockwave echoed from behind them. Twilight stopped and turned, the transport there where in had exploded!
She gulped that could have happen when there we inside! "Come on Ponyville`s not that far away, we can make it before sun raise I think?" she stated taking the led. Pterosaur followed with the cabinet sitting safely on his wings.
The starry night sky glissaded in Pterosaurs eyes, he was used to night full of explosion and fire, not peace and tranquillity, the old soldier simple continued to walk with a frown on his face, as Twilight talked to him about Ponyville and Princess Celestia
"So when we get back to Ponyville, we have to contact Princess Celestia so then we can keep this documents safe, then you can meet everypony, then how about we try and get you out of the suit?" she would have yammered on but Pterosaur spoke.
"The suit doesn`t come of for a reason, I have be deformed the experiments that gave me this suit, also took away the pony who I was, and I don`t want anypony to see him broken like he is" he said not refusing to himself as 'me' but 'he' like before the suit he was somepony else.
"What did they do to you?" asked Twilight quietly
"Took away my face, my past, my family and replaced them with a mask" he said bitterly, hate in every word.
Twilight didn`t speak for a long time after that, as they made there way closer to Ponyville Twilight could see her castle in the distance.
"Pterosaur do you mind if I fly ahead? I need to get everything ready so nopony freaks out about you" she said
Pterosaur simple smiled "Just say hippodatcyl is come by the name of Lizard Wing, it worked before, it normally works again" looking up as Twilight flew away.
Placing the cabinet down he jumped onto it and with a powerful wing beat, took off into the dawn sky, his claws snicking deep into the metal.
Rainbow Dash was still looking at the bridge, about to leave for work when a shadow was cast over her, and a familiar shape passed over her head. "TWILIGHT DOWN HERE!!!!!" she yield up.
Twilight looked down and landed next to her friend, both of them hugged "Thank Celestia your Ok,!"
Then Dash`s attitude kicked in and her protective nature "Where the hay you have been?!" she said breaking the hug
"In a forest full of Timbre-dogs, and I`ve been trying to get home all night" she retorted
Rainbow sighed "Well as long as your Ok. Come on the other have been waiting for you at Sugar Cube corner!"
Twilight followed her friend to Sugar Cube corner completely forgetting about Pterosaur and the files.
All of her friends greeted the alicorn, with warm words. And a lively and friendly conversation started about Twilight`s night.
"Wait a cottin peckin minute, Timbre-wolves can be tamed?" stated Applejack in confusion
"Darling that seems quiet ridicules"
"Yeah, an that not the half of it I found a ...." Twilight sentence was cut short as somepony in the street shouted
"MONSTER!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!" as a stampede thundered past the window.
Twilight looked at the other girls, all had faces mixed with fear, determination and joy (guess who was happy) on their faces.
Twilight existed Sugar Cube Corner, find the filing cabinet and a voice echoed from above.
"Your bills must be paid in final Princess" as a large shadow was cast over them, Twilight looked up to find the large form of Pterosaur flying about, massive leathery wings, semi transparent, with the sun glowing through them.
Landing the creature folded it wings on his sides and flicked it diamond tip tail. "Princess I don`t believe I have been introduced to your friends"
Twilight nodded "Girls this is Lizard Wing, he helped me escape those Timbre-hounds and get this documents here, Lizard Wing these are my friends"
"I`m Rarity pleasure to meet you darling" said the alabaster unicorn with the indigo mane and tail
"Howdy I`m Applejack, the most dependable of pony and the truest of friends" said the orange farm pony with a stetson.
"Hi I`m Pinkie Pie do you like to party, because I love to party!" bubbled the pink mare, with the cotton candy mane
"Rainbow Dash, fastest flyer in all of Equestria" boasted the cyan pegasus with the rainbow mane
"I`m Flutter*murmmer*"
"Argh Fluttershy got it" he said with a doubt, all of them stared at him, he`d not only heard Fluttershy in ultra-shy mode but got her name right.
Rainbow still had problems with that, and some guy that just meet her could heard her better than her, that ticked her off, even if he`d saved Twilight "What the hay are you anyways?"
"I`m a hippodatcyl" he said, his crimson eyes scanning Rainbow Dash`s cerise iris for a moment, then turning to Twilight
"Where`d you want this?" he asked
"In the castle over there" she replied, pointing at the castle.
Lizard Wing smiled and moved over to the cabinet, with his wing he picked up the cabinet and trotted off as if it where nothing.
All of the girls turned to Twilight, Rarity raised an eyebrow "So... hippodatcyl your type?" which in turn got a glare from Twilight which could rival Fluttershy`s stare. Applejack chuckled slightly at the comment, Twilight glare turned to her, stopping the chuckling Applejack looked away whistling.
Pterosaur wandered along, all the streets bare due to his appearance he assumed or something else but it was likely his appearance. Finally arriving at the castle he was surprised at it size, it seemed builder worked faster than before.
Stopping at the large castle, it looked crystalline in construction, shrugging that off he flapped his wings and took off, with the cabinet solidly in his claws he placed it gently down on the ground, landing behind it he was about to carry it inside when a small cut in the cabinet got his attention, one leading to a secret compartment. With a single file left inside. This compartment however was designed to hold two.
Placing the file cabinet into the castle and closing the balcony door, he gritted his teeth. 'Dam it, a files missing, if something get there hooves on it....!' he eyes shot open.
Within a second he took off a trail of fire spewing from the lump shaped jetpack strapped to his back. Making a beeline for Twilight.
The sky was clear not a cloud in the sky so when a shadow shot over Ponyville, it made all of them try to track the caster. Only a faint vapour trail was left with a combination of green and red.
Pterosaur jetpack switched off and his cybernetic wings started slowing him down, he could still break the sound barrier with only his wings the jetpack was for going faster than that. His crimson eyes darting over the small town trying to find Twilight or one of her friends.
Soring lower to the ground his massive wings cast a larger shadow, pointed beck facing down. Then a raspy voice echoed net to him.
"Hey Lizard Wing, what you looking for?" turning his head he found Rainbow hovering next to him, he absolutely dwarfed her in mass and wing span."Looking for Twilight, have you seen her?" he asked the rainbow maned athlete.
"Yeah she`s looking for Spike, noponies seen him all day, she got kinder worried" said Rainbow, all off them where worried for the little drake but Lizard Wing also had a worried expression on his face, then it changed to confusion.
"Is Spike a purple dragon?" he asked eyes fixing on something in the distance "Yeah. Why? you see him?" asked Rainbow, Lizard nodded and pointed with a talon.
Sure enough she sore Spike, running for his life from on of the most deadly forces in the world, the CMC.
Spike wasn`t sure how he got into this mess, he was walking in the woods looking for Twilight, next thing he knows he`s running a gauntlet with the CMC hot on his heels. 'This is stupid, I`m a dragon feared by all running away from 3 fillies' he though turning his head he looked all of them dead in the eye 'Who may be 3 of the 4 horse of the apocalypse' he said running even faster.
Lizard swooped down grabbing the small dragon in his talons, Spike struggled against the grip for a moment "Let me go!" he ordered, looking down he found he was a good 50 or so feet above the ground. He clang to the neck of his rescuer for his life. "Hey loosen the grip will ya, it kinder hard to breath" said a male voice, looking up Spike found a dragon like creature with a crimson crest and matching eyes, with a beck looking down on him. "You Ok, ponies can be scary can`t they?" he joked Spike clambered onto his back.
"Dude those 'ponies' are the horses of the apocalypse come to life!" he said waving his arms about, Lizard slowly descended back towards the group of fillies, now having Rainbow speak to them.
"What were you thinking, that so uncool, I through all of you were better than that!" she stated, scolding all of them. All of them looked down at there hooves, Lizard landed with Spike still firmly placed on his back. Using the 3 talons on his wings he put Spike on the ground "No free loaders" he joked.
"So what did they do that was so bad?" he asked Spike, Spike shuddered "The most complex obstacle course I`ve ever seen" he whispered gulping as he through back to the death trap he barely survived.
"Hey that obstacle course wasn`t difficult, just you didn`t know where all the traps where" stated the small orange pegasus filly, a messy purple mane adoring her head, and tail. She didn`t have a cutie mark nor the other two.
Lizard smiled slightly at her, it was like staring at a mini Rainbow, only less colourful. "Well if I see how bad the obstacle course is, then I can deicide who to tell" said Rainbow all 3 off them seem to lighten up slightly, Spike grumbled if Rainbow liked the course, which she would, she`d not tell anyone and make him pinkie promise about not telling anyone about it.
As the 3 fillies and mare took the lead Spike and Lizard Wing took the rear, "I`m Lizard Wing nice to meet you Spike, it`s nice to know I`m not the only reptile here" he said extending a wing for a claw shack. Spike put his small claws in his talons "Well it`s nice to meet you to Lizard Wing"
As they walked along Lizard leant down to Spike level as the walked along "So who are those fillies anyway, and how does Rainbow know them?" Spike looked at him "How`d you know Rainbow anyways?" "Twilight introduced me to her" he replied "She back" he breathed a heavy sigh off relief, quickly followed by a paniced look "I wrote a letter say Twilight when missing, she said she`d come to try and find her!" he yelled Lizard cringed, poking a finger into his ear hole.
Rainbow stopped "The princess is coming?" Spike nodded furiously at that, Rainbow looked at Ponyville, then at the crusaders, then back to Ponyville. "I`ll take Spike back, you can do whatever you want" said Lizard, Spike hopped on his back, "Hang on!" he shouted as he back began to glow red, before anypony could question he took off leaving a trail of fire in the sky.
All the ponies on left behind stared slack jawed at what happened. Rainbow snapped out off it "Oh yeah, I think that calls for a race!" she stated, Scootaloo smiled and jumped for joy, "Oh this is going to be awesome!"
Princess Celestia, stood in Ponyville town centre with her e-student Twilight Sparkle. Both of them were talking about something important. The old unicorn military base she`d found with Pterosaur. "We`ll Twilight it seem you had a very productive night, I will take the files back to Canterlot, if you find Pterosaur tell him to meet me at your castle, whilst I read through them" said Celestia wings flaring ready for take off, only to have a shadow cast over them.
Pterosaur slide to a stop, wings still open as he shock the dirt off his talons, Spike hopped off his back and ran to Twilight and hugged her leg. "Never do that again!" Twilight pulled him into the hug "Missed you to" she said.
As Twilight and Spike hugged, Pterosaur nodded to the princess of the sun, sure enough she nodded back 'It has been a long time hasn`t it Pterosaur' she spoke telepathically to him, he rolled his eyes 'Yeah it has, last time I sore you were only the size of a filly' he smiled slightly at the through.
Celestia rolled her eyes "It good to see you again Pterosaur" she said, Pterosaur smiled and nodded then Spike voice piped up "I through your name was Lizard Wing?" Pterosaur smiled didn`t falter "Pterosaur my nickname, Lizard Wing was to boring for Celestia when we first met"
"First met?" asked Twilight "When I first met Pterosaur I was only a few years older than Spike, and I have to admit a adrenaline junky, so when someone that looked like Pterosaur had a name like Lizard Wing it didn`t suit him so I gave him a nickname for my sake" said Celestia continuing Pterosaur white lie slightly.
Then Pterosaur remembered something about the files "Twilight, I forgot to tell you something, there was a secret compartment in the cabinet that I didn`t know about, it was open hen I found it, I think a file is missing" he said Twilight looked at him, her pupils shrank slightly "And I have no idea what it could be!"
Twilight teleported all of them without warning to her castle without warning, leaving Pterosaur and Spike disorientated Twilight turned to the little dragon "Spike get the girls and tell them to me us her tomorrow, Ok?" Spike shot her a thumbs up before running off to find everypony.
Pterosaur sat looking at a file, the only file that could give him any answers to who he was, he knew the procedure they used rewrote he brain, so he`d obey his creators without question, they didn`t expect that a blast from a 7 year old alicorn could rewrite all their hard work, all their work to turn a pony into a weapon off mass destruction.
He file lay in he`s claws, he could learn who he was and what he used to be, and the through racked in he`s mind, his earliest memeroy were atrocities that should never happen, all caused by his claws, in his crimson eyes where the soul should lie, many ponies sore nothing, only a monster with a thirst for blood.
"If I learn who I was... could I ever have what I had back... should I have it back?" he asked himself out loud, a white hoof rested on his shoulder.
Princess Celestia was one of the ponies to see murder, to see the apocalypse that he could cause with his claws, she was the one who gave his conscience back, it was wise move but a move that made a killing machine into a guilt machine. "No you can never what you have back, for the simple reasons, times have changed and the world you lived in is 3 thousand years in the past, many wizards and mages have fallen, there are only a few who can remember you and... they have said you... are the best of the best and the worst of the worst at the same time" said Celestia
Pterosaur could escape the truth. He`d tried so hard to make the memories go away, they never did something can never be undone an Pterosaur had done the worsts thing imaginable on severely occasions. Standing up he gave the file to Celestia.
"I don`t deserve to know" he said coldly as he walked off into the corridors to meet the guest that would be arriving soon.
Celestia sighed, the answer Pterosaur was looking for was never going to be in the file. If the creators didn`t care then why should they make a fact file on how he was?
Sighing she followed Pterosaur with the file under her wing, a stern look covering her face.
Twilight and her friends where all in the 'Council of friendship' room, as Rainbow called it. With all the files placed firmly in the centre.
"Sa let me get this straight Twi, this files are records of a uniecorn army?" asked Applejack, Twilight nodded and was about to speak when Pinkie started to look inside a file she`d managed to get some how.
"Hey look at this, there`s a dragon pony guy" she bubbled looking at the strange creature. With a ponies body shape with a draconic head feet and tail. Pale white scales strained red.
The other noticed the red staining and they could guess what the stain was from, the through made them sick to their stomachs.
Lizard Wing entered through a door with Princess Celestia close behind him, she shuddered at something that nopony else noticed.
Pterosaur perched on the filing cabinet, he eyes looking at the files for a moment then nodded to Twilight.
"Now where was I?... oh yes, Applejack this files are from the beginning of the Unicorn wars, aproximently 3 thousand years ago, and this files detail weapons and machine made by a being known as the 'Adviser'"
Rainbow started laughing at the name stiffening her giggles she asked "The Adviser, Twi that can`t be his real name, come on that like calling Queen Chrysalis, Queen Love Eater" she said bored.
Celestia voice echoed across all of them "Miss Dash, the Adviser was very much real, and in every aspect of the word a genius, all those files are his inventions, and the only reason was he called himself the Adviser was..." Celestia sentcene was finished by Pterosaur
"His name was too complex for mere ponies to utter" he said, that court all the elements of guard.
"Wha in tarnation?! How could his name be to complex to understand?!" she asked furious at the hippodactyl.
"He said the same thing to me, but that not way Twilight called this meeting" he said calmly looking over at the Princess of Friendship.
"As I was saying, every file in that cabinet is real and in or around Equestria, the only problem is one of through files is missing. And Lizard Wing doesn`t have a clue to what is inside the file" said Twilight.
Lizard Wing resived odd stares from the rest of the group "Twilight I mean this by no affenct to you or Lizard but... why would he know what was in the file?" asked the only unicorn in the room.
Pterosaur turned to Celestia for a moment, she raised one eyebrow as if to say 'go on explain' "Hmph... The reason why I know is I was in that war, I have been frozen for the past 3 thousand years. I have seen what through 'experiments' can do! Pinkie that file your holding could you read it to us?" he asked
Pinkie and the other shrugged as she begin to read it made all of them become white with fear.
"Experiment name: Uber Soldier 123 'Draco'. Experiment unique perimeters: Extra durable scaled suit, pyro kintic abilities, ability to survive extreme heat and pressure. Experiment origin: Earth pony?" Pinkie had to stop to think about that sentence for a moment. Both Applejack and Pinkie looked at each other
"What in the hay? He don`t look like no earth pony!" she stated looking at a picture of the dragon suited uber soldier.
"That is because of the nature of the experiment, it took an Earth pony and changed them, it turned them into monsters, designed to kill anything, this one was designed to be the dragon slayer, the only one able to stop any experiment was Pterosaur here" said the Celestia monarch.
Applejack still had problems grasping the concept of the whole experiment, Pterosaur noticed "Imagine an earth pony, then imagine that earth pony have is brain alter to have no free will and no conscience, then imagine that pony, being broken and burnt alive then remoulded into a monster with a suit that doesn`t come off, then you have what an experiment can do to a pony"
All the other in the room looked like they were going to throw up, Fluttershy squeaked in fear curled up into a ball.
"And just how do you know what it was like?!" asked Rainbow. The answer was brutal and honest, and it didn`t come from Lizard mouth but the princesses.
"He was one of the experiments" she said as a file in a yellow aura glowed and was placed in Rainbow`s hooves. His file?
"You were a pony?" asked Rarity, in shock or was it horror, Pterosaur had a hard time distingwashing from the to, all of the ponies in the room seem in a equal stat of confusion.
Twilight was confused brain washing, he acted like a normal pony, Celestia started to speak again "Please do not fear Pterosaur, I have made sure his conscience will never live his side again" she said reassuringly.
All the ponies looked at the 'pony' in front of them, he looked back "I was the only experiment affected by Celestia, so that way the file must be found" he stated firmly.
All of them nodded, a loaded weapon with a self-pulling trigger, wasn`t what Equestria wanted.
In the dark of a underground compound a loud hissing was heard, followed by a scream of pain, green ooze splattered on the floors and wall of the small corridor, a pair of glowing yellow eyes it up the corridor, a grin of green stain teeth glowed in the light.
A mad cackle echoed down the hall ways, and a raspy voice followed. "Hehehehehe... Ooh lime flavored"
Celestia ? Pterosaur Twilight Rarity Applejack Pinkie Pie Rainbow Dash
Pterosaur sat away from the other his disconnect was almost instinctive, sitting in the shadows he listen with the occasional movement of his long diamond tip tail.
Celestia had been asked a question but Twilight, Celestia knew that the elements of harmony can be trusted to hold this information. She`d kept it secret for 3 thousand years, for a reason.
Equestria wasn`t ready.
"The Experiments, were designed to kill earth and Pegasus ponies over 3 thousand years ago to enable the unicorn armies to control the whole world, by the time Pterosaur was made he was the 375th pony to go through the process, he was the last to go through the process as well. Now each experiment was unique, Pterosaur was the only one of the experiments that flew without magic, meaning he was undetectable by Pegasus and earth pony shaman. But it also meant that he needed more control over his mind to fly, meaning he was smarter than most other experiments." Celestia looked at the elements for a moment Rainbow raised an eyebrow.
"But isn`t flying without magic kinder impossible?" asked Rainbow, Celestia shock her head "No, it more difficult and enery consuming but possible, no creature in Equestria does it because of the magic in the air making it easier to fly with magic"
Rainbow through for a moment, then nodded in understanding, "So what does Pterosaur intelligence have to do with him being different for the other experiments?" asked Twilight
"It meant my mind was open for rearrangement by alicorns" stated Pterosaur from his perch.
Celestia sighed "Pterosaur 10th mission was to kill me and Luna as we contain more magic than almost all unicorns put together. So he came with 3 others. They killed nearly 1000 ponies trying to get to me and Luna... As far as I am away they were the deadliest 4 the Adviser ever made."
"Well what did dem varmits call demselves?" asked Applejack calmly, but inside you could see the rage boiling over to boiling point
"Ragnadon, Draco and Fangs" said Celestia find their files.
All three files were projected into a magical screen so all could see.
The first file was Ragnadon`s.
Name: Ragnadon Number: 372 Abilities: Super Strength. Indestructible scales. Heighten sense of smell. Sonic blast.
Under stood a picture of Ragnadon. covered in brown scales, with a dull ivory beak, large curled tusk pointed upwards, with smaller ones pointing downwards. A long banana shaped crest stuck out of the back of his head, with boney amour plates covering his back and neck, with large spikes on his shoulders. Following it down to where his hooves should have been stood 3 fingers with a large thumb spike slightly above the fingers. All along his back was a row of plates, all diamond shape becoming larger as the got to the tail, as soon as they reached the tale they turned into a paired row of spikes, ending on a club like tail with 4 spikes. His eyes were a cold blue, almost like he had no soul.
Name: Draco Number:117 Abilities: Fire prof. Diamond strength scales. Pyrokintic abilities. Ablity to glide.
They didn`t know how they`d missed the two wing shaped flaps of skin, help together by 4 spikes. With large horns on his head, with a large nose horn curved backwards with a row inbetween the eyes and under his chin. With his tail having a tuff of fur after the arrow shaped tip. with a spike coming out of his knees and his ankles. The white scales in a stark contrast to the burnt orange dorsal spines. The burning orange eyes looked manic ready for carnage.
Name: Fangs Number:325 Abilities: venom. Heat vision (can see heat not lazer beam) Smell with forked tongue. Carnivorous.
A large cobra like creature with 2 blunt hooves were the only vestage that it used to be a pony. It`d head had know ears, with a large mouth, with large fangs, The serpentine body had a large hood, with two yellow 'eyes' that seem to distract victims. It dull green scales spread down it back as it sandy underbelly slipped down it body. Large livid yellow eyes glinted with venom inside.
All the elements murmured with fear or disgust, all of the monster in front of them could still be out there, waiting to attack.
Appaloosa, earth pony settlement, in peace with nature and the Buffalo tribes for a few years. The piece and secentiy had been shattered for a few weeks now.
Something had been draining their livestock of blood. The Buffalo called the cause 'El chupacabra' a goat eater, or blood drinker.
The whole town had gathered around the sheriff and the chief Buffalo to ask questions, then a shadow was cast.
From the roof tops came a long and thin shadow large pointed ears, with multiple quills stick out of it back, to bat like wings on it back. It`s eyes seem to glow red. The manic pupils looking over everypony and everyone as if it was inspecting them.
It opened it mouth revealing sharp foot long fangs as it let out a insane cackle, "El Chupuacabra, OooOh you ungulates, ha" it manic shadow disappeared, most ponies and buffalo where frozen in fear, only a few managed to get to safety.
The large el chupuacabra appeared from the shadows, large claws clicking on the ground, long lizard like tail ended in a spike mace, large shoulder had small demonic bat wings sticking them out of it`s back. A row of teeth had left his mouth and ran along his chin, it smile look like a maniac with plan.
"Well it seem if found the buffet! Well so many new flavours to try he liked his lips with a large black tongue "SOUPS UP!"
It launched at the group, killing everything with a blow from his paws or tail, staining itself red, any runner were shot with a quill that fired from its back, finally coming to the still barely breathing chief he smiled.
He was nibbling on a leg of a pony nonchalantly, leaning down he looked at the chief, the burning buildings and streets full of corpse reflected on the cheif dying eyes. Finally sputtering a question to the demon looming over him "What are you?"
The vampony like beast smiled slightly, holding up an empty mug"I tell you what I am, I`m thirsty... BLOOD THIRSTY!!!"
Slaming his claws into the chief neck he laughed as he filled the cup. Taking a sip of the still warm blood, he sloshed it around in his mouth for a bit. Swallowing his sighed contented "Excellent vintage" he chuckled.
He trotted around the street, seemingly happy with his work, he walked to the salt bar. Finding a small lighter of of one of the numerous body from the street, he found a bottle of alcoholic cider. Smiling even more.
Taking a swig he walked out of the bar and flew up with a mad cackle he lit the cider with the lighter. Throwing it down into the streets, anypony in Appaloosa that`d survived the demonic being was now dead, as flames scorched the whole place.
The fire blazed around the demon, no wait demon did suit him. "Argh I finally got my name done, I`m Blood Thirsty, YEAH! Blood Thirsty sums me up! Know to find the boss, man this is going to be so fun, I`ve still not tasted alicorn OR Hippodactyl " he cackled up into the sky, ask the fired reduced everything to ash.
Celestia stood tall, something was upsetting the balance of magic in the world, something evil. Like a whole city had been slain by a demon. She didn`t know why by it felt like an experiment.
Pterosaur sat in the corner, almost like he was angry with something, unknown to them his morals were being tested again, it was either tell the hole world the truth or keep it between them and the ponies in this room.
Then a voice echoed throughout the castle, an all to familiar voice to him.
The Adviser!
A large changeling head appeared in the centre of the room. The changelings classic fangs into a mouth with to flaps of skin connecting the lower an upper jaw. with it mussel flattered into nothingness. It blue eyes had been repleased by black with gat like pupils with blue iris. The back of it head had become larger and fatter. it black toothless mouth spoke with a green tinge to the changeling armour.
"Citizens or Equestria. You will surrender! I am the Adviser the greatest scientist you petit world has ever seen! My greatest creation has already destroyed a city. You have 2 days to give me your answer! Oh and Princess 375 cannot help you now"
Pterosaur growled spreading his wings, greatest creation, he was the last one he made so in theory the most advanced one, the greatest, that made him worried.
The Adviser head was replaced by a burning city with a message written into the sand of a dessert.
'They tasted of apples' as the image paned to reveal the mountain of pony corpses in the sand.
All of the ponies took a step back, all of them not taking their eyes of the horrific scene, a mad cackle echoing in the back of their heads.
Princess Celestia face said it all, dark with anger and guilt in her face, he was back the most destructive force in pre-equestrian history, back with an army by the looks of it, whilst the ex-elements looked on in disgust and horror, she stormed out of the room. Pterosaur eyes flashed turning pure white, gritting his beck he followed Celestia.
Celestia stood uneasily, her eyes closed, hearing the creak of the door and the soft padding of Pterosaur`s feet, "I`m sorry" he said quietly, Celestia opened her eyes and looked at the old solider "Sorry? For what? You have done nothing wrong" she said looking at him.
"Exactly I done nothing I should have done something not be sitting their explaining myself to ponies" he said, angry with himself, his wings flared.
Back in the room, all of the elements heard the shouting, most of them coming to the door except, Applejack. She was squinting at the picture on the screen, then she sore something, it sicken her, looking hard into the picture, she could see, them all of her cousin, all... something snapped in Applejack.
Something in her seminally changed she when from the verge of tears to anger to rival the sun fury. "Gals, I know where they are" she said coldly. "Yeah, we can go vigalanty on their flanks now right?" asked Pinkie, her optimism returning as well as her hair style. "Www...where are they?" asked Fluttershy scared out of her mind. "Appalossa" said Applejack, her cold unrelenting anger became apparent for all of them.
Pterosaur and Celestia listen in closely. Pterosaur didn`t need to be a genius to understand, Applejack was hurt and she wanted the hurting to stop.
"What can we do? I don`t think 'rainbow' energy can fix this, let alone stop that monster" Rarity`s question bored it way into everyponies ears, it wasn`t something anyone wanted to acknowledge.
Celestia frowned, all the elements seem to be dealing it with there own ways, Applejack was in raged and she had every right to be, Rainbow and Fluttershy seemed to be understanding, Twilight and Pinkie were trying to be reassuring and Rarity seem to saddened by the hole thing.
"Pterosaur, Go to Appalossa, find what did this and capture it, uses a much hostility as you see fit" Pterosaur saluted and was about to start for Appalossa when Applejack spoke up "Ya`h not going without me! I got a score ta settle!" Pterosaur looked back "Are you sure, because this well be like nothing you`ve ever seen? This will scar you for life" Applejack glared at him "I`m going to go, Ma`h family may still be alive and I can`t be sittin around doing nothing!" Pterosaur looked at the other in thought. "Princess I think I`ll have to take Twilight as well as Applejack" he said calculating something. "And why is that?" asked Celestia with Twilight also questioning him with her gaze. "Magical restraints for the prisoner to be" Twilight looked at Applejack, then at Celestia. She nodded without any doubt, she would help her friends to the ends of the earth.
Pterosaur didn`t smile no in the room could smile, not even Pinkie. As the three of them left by Twilight teleporting the others left until Princess Celestia was alone in the castle, she lowered her head "And so it begins again"
Applejack looked at the carnage for a moment, the burnt buildings and bodies lay their, with flys hovering over pools of blood, the midday sun blistered down on them. Twilight looked around at the same things as Applejack there eyes burning with fear and worry, the only one who could think straight was Pterosaur. You could see it in his eyes, he`d seen this before, he`d done this before.
"You to try and find survivors, I`ll find this murderer, whatever you do don`t try and find me I`ll find you" all of them nodded and Applejack and Twilight took off for the non-burning buildings to the east of Appalossa, Pterosaur took off for the west. The bodies lay stacked around him stacked up into the message.
Placing a large flare into the ground he frowned, as the brilliant red light glowed bright in the air, a scrabbling sound was heard, Pterosaur looked around trying to pinpoint the creature.
"Ooh, I though Celestia had better sense than to send you old timer" a cackling voice called, Pterosaur eyes turned white, he turned on his suit combat mode, clicking his neck he smile slightly, he see how far he could go with the murderer "You think you can bet me?" He tail smashed into the creature behind him "Nobody bets the classics!"
Blood-Thirsty pulled his fangs out of the dirt, bat wings flaring, unlike 375 he did show up on radar, due to his magical properties, his spines sharpened as he got battle ready, talons glinting, covered in dry and crusted blood. "You can`t be me, I`ve absorbed so much plasma I`m practically immortal!" Pterosaur returned the batter with a punch to the face. "Stop talking and fight" he said coldly, as Blood-Thirsty wriggled in pain. As the El Chupacabra like beast got to his paws it growled "Ooh, if you want a" he shouting at Pterosaur was cut out by a back talon across the face. He flew into the pile of bodies, they fell onto of him. Pterosaur didn`t move a muscle, as the experiment exploded from the pile of bodies, and tackled him to the ground."Now without any" a Pterosaur pecked the creature eye.
"BUCK YOU!" he screamed in pain and clasping it face his talons. Pterosaur rolled to his feet, with a smirk on his face. Blood-Thirsty swiped at the hippodactyl, sending him reeling backwards, the swipe was followed by spike flying at Pterosaur wings. Jumping and taking flight Pterosaur dive bombed the mass murderer, a spike tore a small cut in membrane of Pterosaur's right wing. Landing on the pile of bodies he snarled.
Blood-Thirsty pulled a spike from his back and throw it like a spear at the Uber-solider, dodging it slightly. They hit the pile of bodies, the brown mass of spikes growl it red eyes locking onto the green blur of movement, not noticing the smaller black blur coming directly at his neck. A pain throbbed in his neck.
"Argh! Resorting to throwing things!" he roared at the green blur, only for him to pull out the dart, it was small and black nothing meaningful on it at all, then look back in front of him. He was bucked in the back by Pterosaurs rear hooves. "Rule one in a fight kid, never take your eyes of the opponent" Blood-Thirsty vision became blacker "Buck you, I`ll get you for this" "Sure you will" said Pterosaur before Blood-Thirsty slipped of into unconsciousness.
