> Turbo's Love Quest > by TurboTheGameGuy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue: Just your everyday morning here > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *8 years ago* "Okay Turbo, flying isn't that hard after you get the hang of it." Mist said calmly after seeing his 8 year old brother fall after flying about a foot off the ground. Turbo lay there with tears in his eyes after falling. The dark brown colt just rolled his eyes and walked over to Turbo. The colt lowered himself down. "Climb on, I have an idea." Reluctantly Turbo climbed on his brother's back. As soon as Turbo was on Mist took flight six feet into the air and held out his forehooves. "Jump off and flap your wings as fast as you can." "But what if I fall?" "I'll catch you." Turbo climbed up to Mist's head and looked down. While it may not have been that high, it sure did look like it. Turbo backed away from Mist's head. "I-I can't do this!" He shouted fearfully. "Turbo... Come on. The first step of flying is to face your fears. I'm making sure you don't get hurt." The foal looked down again. "But what about-" "Don't do it, then I'll tickle you to death." Turbo looked again, he measured his options, thinking about what was the worst fate, being tickled without mercy, or falling, he decided that jumping was the better option before jumping off and flapping his small wings as fast as he could keeping him hovering in the air but slowly inching toward the ground. "I knew you could do it!" Mist shouted he waited until Turbo was at the ground before checking off something on a piece of paper. He looked away from the paper to see his little brother laying on the ground curled up in a ball his eyes slowly shutting from the exhaustion of his flight training. A few minutes later Mist heard snoring coming from Turbo. The older colt smiled before pulling Turbo over to him and hoisting the sleeping colt on his back, "I guess we should go home." Mist yawned before trotting home quietly careful of the sleeping foal on his back. *RRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNGGG* The loud painful sound hit Mist's ears, causing him to cover them. *RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGG* *Present day* *RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGG* Mist groaned hitting his hoof on his nightstand, not wanting to wake up just yet. *RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGG* "Will you just SHUT UP?! " Mist finally hit the snooze button on his alarm clock, only for it to go off again. "Oh for the love of-" He finally took the clock and opened the window throwing it outside. Relieved, he finally went back to his bed and covered up in the bedsheets, as soon as he closed his eyes, the clock came flying back in and hit him on his head, the alarm went off again but instead of the normal 'Ring' it began saying. "TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!" Mist opened his eyes to see his clock had a trollface taped to it. "Ugh! My clock is a troll!" "TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! Wake up you lazy bum!" 'And now it's talking...' He thought "I heard that!" The clock screamed. "I hate my clock." Mist said finally getting up and ripping its batteries out. Everything was quiet until- "TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL-" Mist's eyes went comically bloodshot before- "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He threw the clock on the floor and began stomping on it with his hoof. Mist didn't notice his brother looking in through his bedroom door to see what all the noise was about. "Yep, just your everyday morning in my brother's place." Turbo chuckled, before walking downstairs. > Chapter 1: Leaving Home > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The late night air was cool, and crisp, a hummingbird flew over to a flower blooming from the soil by Surgarcube Corner, Princess Twilight's castle didn't seem to be active either. _____________________________________ *Back at Mist's household* Mist Dasher had finally gotten his clock to shut down so he was in bed. Through the open door a gray figure walked by it, his hoofsteps quiet on the carpet. He looked inside his brother's room to make sure he wasn't awake. "I'm sorry brother, but this is my choice." He whispered heading down the hallway to his bedroom. He walked by horseshoe boxes that were filled with comic books, and then a shelf filled with videogame magazines, and game cases, underneath those were some gaming systems and controllers. He made his way up to a desk that had pieces of paper with notes scribbled down on them, some had been tied together with strings. He picked up his quill and dipped it in an inkwell and he began writing. "Dear Mist, by the time you read this I'll be long gone, you didn't know this, but I need to find something, something important. Whatever you do, don't try to stop me, I need to do this myself. Goodbye brother, I'll see you again." He grabbed his saddlebag, filled with supplies. He folded the paper and placed it on his bed before opening up the window, allowing the night breeze to blow into his room, preparing himself for the oncoming journey ahead of him. He finally opened up his wings before jumping out the window, he flew toward a cloud in the sky before landing on a cloud, he looked around to make sure no pony saw him. Turbo leaned toward the edge of the cloud and kicked off opening his wings again, he silently disappeared into the night. Turbo stopped dead in his tracks. 'I can't believe I'm doing this, I hope Mist will be okay.' He tried flying again, to his surprise it felt like he was encased in cement, keeping him from flying. He struggled with his flight for awhile. His nervousness had left him unable to move forward, after a few tries with flying forward, he started to move. Slowly but surely, he was moving. His pace started to pick up until he had to squint his eyes to be able to see. After flying for about ten minutes, he looked done to see the tops of trees, he turned around in his flight to see some tiny lights in the distance, his hometown was now out of sight, all he could see was Canterlot in the distance. "I'm sorry Mist, but I'm not dying alone!" He turned around and zoomed away. Turbo's journey, had just begun. > Chapter 2: Strange Animal > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2: Strange animal Turbo kept flying for hours on end, not stopping for anything. 'You're such an idiot!' His conscience scolded. 'Do you know how ticked your brother's gonna be?!' 'I know.' He answered back in his head. 'But this is something I just have to do, I don't know about Mist, but I'm not going to die alone.' '…' 'What? Did I prove a point there?' 'You are just as pathetic as the rest of the ponies here.' 'Wait… you're not my conscience! Who are you?! What are you?!' 'You'll learn the answer soon enough Turbo. Continue your quest, I'm not stoppin' ya.' 'You didn't answer though, who are you?!' '…' Turbo just sighed before accidentally ramming into a tree head first into a squirrel nest in the tree. "Ow!" He looked around as best as he could, there was a squirrel shaking its fist, squeaking, and making angry gestures at him. "Uh hi." He said pushing his hooves on the tree, all while the squirrel was cursing him out in squeak language. After awhile he finally pulled his head out of the tree and hovered down to the forest floor. "That could've gone worse…" *CRACK!* Lightning lit up the night sky, and caused him to practically jump out of his skin. "It just got worse!" He smacked his head with his hoof. "I shoulda known better than to say that..." He looked over to his right to see a cave. 'This'll do for tonight.' He thought walking into the cave and laying down. It was a narrow cave, not too small, but enough to keep him dry. He placed his bag on the cave floor and lay his head on it, using it as a pillow he closed his eyes, letting his weariness take hold, drifting off to sleep. "And what are YOU doing in MY cave?!" A gravely metallic voice screamed. Turbo woke up startled by the sudden voice. He looked around to see a pair of two glowing green eyes at the back, they didn't have any emotion behind them, the eyes were glowing unnaturally so, in fact, they were lighting up a little bit of the back of the cave. "Oh, I'm sorry sir, or ma'am! I'll just head out and-" "You aren't leaving yet!" "What?" "You are the same species as the creators. They sent you, didn't they." "I wasn't sent by anyone, honest!" "If you weren't sent, then why are you here?" "I'm searching for something… something important to me..." "And what would that be?" The voice seemed to soften up as the figure walked out of the shadows of the cave, each step it took made a clanging sound as they placed themselves on the ground. "Somepony to love. I guess you could say I'm on a quest for my 'special somepony'. Kind of a stupid motivation though. Right?" Turbo explained as he looked outside the cave, watching the rain fall on the forest floor. "It's not an insipid motivation, Pegasus. It's an understandable one. Explain where you originate from, your kind has always been fascinating to me." "Wait wait wait, before I explain anything to you, I need to know who I'm talking to!" The figure walked out of the shadows as Turbo turned around, it was a metal cat-like creature, it was black with a short tail, its mouth didn't open by the looks of it, and its claws were knives. "I am FINAL WEAPON C-A-T module# T0B1, I am designed to be Equestria's first robotic creation with my own infinite power supply and Artificial Intelligence. My purpose is to fight your kind's wars. But, there seems to be something different about you, you don't seem to be the violent type. Even though you're fully capable of fighting. Now that you know my name, tell me yours, Pegasus." "My name is Turbo Charger, I live in a small town called Ponyville, I live with my brother, and my cutie mark here, means my ability of good leadership." Turbo looked at his cutie mark, and smiled. "I'll never forget the day I earned this baby, I could've been the happiest colt ever in the history of Equestria… good times." "Your emotions show that you are happy to remember your memories of the past. Your kind truly is interesting. Turbo Charger, I would like to learn more about your kind, how they live, how they love, how they-" "If you want to come with me so bad, you could just say so." "What?" "You're making it obvious that you want to come with me." "Are you sure you want me around?" "Of course! I could always use the company. Besides, Mist would be happy to see you." T0B1 nodded. "Well, I'm going back to sleep. I'll see you in the morning. T0B1- never mind, I'll just call you Tobi, it's easier to remember." Turbo walked into the cave to go back to sleep as T0B1 stood there watching the rain fall. Only one question rang through his metallic mind. 'Why isn't he trying to break me? What have I done to earn this colt's trust?' He sat there confused at Turbo's behavior, he truly was a remarkable creature, T0B1 was curious to know more about the organic who calls himself Turbo Charger. He was cut out of his thoughts by snoring coming from Turbo. The C-A-T walked up and looked at the colt to see what was wrong. He activated his scanner to check him. Name: Turbo Charger Status: Asleep Ailments: none The robot merely ignored it after seeing nothing was wrong, and went back to his thoughts for the rest of the night.
