> A weapon in Equestria > by Creative Paradox > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prologue Edited by TheUltimateBrony-Class-S 3rd person POV *"Sargent are you in position?"* the commander said over the radio. Sargent gave an immediate response. "In position now commander, I have eyes on the target awaiting further orders, over and out," Sargent said, then began waiting Then, Sargent noticed something, the target was sniffing, almost as if… Just as the sargent realized what the target was doing, it looked in his direction before bolting away from him "Shit!" the sargent cursed, then he yelled into his radio, "this is Sargent Arrowhead, I've been spotted, weapon X-B-2039 is making a run for it, I repeat weapon X-B-2039 is making a run for it!" Sargent readied his rifle then his commander spoke over the radio "All units, move in, do not let weapon X-B-2039 escape." Meanwhile, Xeno was running, trying to stay away from the soldiers as he didn't want to be experimented on anymore and he definitely didn't want to be used as an instrument of war. But, in order to understand why he's here and why he's doing this, we would have to go back, back to where it all started... back when he was still human... (Begin intro music) *5 years ago, earth apartment building room 200, ??? POV* "And...there.” I stated happily, having finished my costume, before laughing a bit in victory, “Haha! I finally finished it, now I just need to put it on and head to the Comic-con" I said, but then I remembered something that dropped my mood instantly. "Oh man I forgot to make my OC's personal journal..." I mean I know it's not really important to the costume itself, but it's important for me, because my OC uses the journal for recording his thoughts, ideas, sketch drawings, etc. Basically it's my OC's autobiography and it's important for character development so needless to say that I was disappointed and I wouldn't have time to make one so I put my costume on and left for Comic-con. *Comic-con, ??? POV* I had made it to Comic-con and all I've been doing for the past hour was look around to see if any of the vendors had the type of journal I need. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful, but I didn't give up. I continued to look around, and while I was doing that I noticed a girl dressed as Amy Rose and a guy dressed as what I think was a Spiderman OC but without a mask over at a booth. Then, just as I turned around to look at the booth behind me, I heard someone let out a short scream and there was a flash of light. I quickly turned around and...nothing… the two people I saw earlier were gone. Unfortunately, I didn't think too much about those two, because I thought that they must have walked off. Oh, how I wish I was right and how I wish I'd followed my instincts, so I could have avoided what was about to happen once I got closer to the booth. I saw a guy dressed as the Resident Evil 4 Merchant inside, seeming to be distracted by something in his wares. "Hello there," I said, and when he looked at me, he jumped back in surprise, "woah, are you okay? I didn't mean to frighten you mister," I apologized as I went and helped him back up. "Oh, it's quite alright, I just wasn't expecting.. .I'm sorry, but what are you supposed to be? I recognize certain things about what your dressed as, but I don't want to assume," he said. I paused, because he actually sounded like the resident evil merchant and, after a few seconds, I answered his question, "Oh, I'm actually dressed as my OC, called Xeno-Blacklight-2039, but everyone who is not with the company that created him just call him Xeno,” I explained. “He was basically a human who nearly died and was taken to Rebirth Industries and he was experimented on with both the Blacklight Virus and the Xenomorph Queen’s ‘royal jelly’ for 2 years and he was transformed into what my costume looks like now. During his time there, and after he escaped, he had a journal that he used as his own personal autobiography and sketchbook, and while he escaped, he killed a good majority of the people in the facility he escaped from." When I finish explaining, he gives me a look over, then stated, "Well you mentioned that he had a journal that was important to him, but I don't seem to see you with one at all." "Yeah, by the time I finished my costume, I didn't have any time left to create Xeno's journal.” I then sigh before continuing, “I've been looking all over Comic-con for a journal that would at least have a resemblance to it, but I haven't had much luck." I looked down, sad that not one person here had the type of journal I was looking for. That’s when the merchant spoke up, shrugging a bit, "Well, I'm not sure if I have the type of journal you’re looking for but... who knows you might get lucky with me." I looked at him for a moment, humming in thought before nodding, "Hmm maybe...okay, let's see what you have." We walked into his booth and I was amazed at what I saw. He had seemingly everything from different genres like Spiderman, Deadpool, FNaF, Pokemon, etc. While I was looking at all the amazing things he had, the merchant grabbed something from underneath the booth. When I looked towards him, I saw what he now had in his hands, and I was once again shocked at what he was holding. (The one with the omega symbol.) "Is this the journal you've been looking for?" The merchant asked. I just stood there, shocked, I had been looking everywhere in the area for this exact type of journal. Neither words, nor gestures could express how happy I was. After staring at the journal for a few more seconds, I said, "Yes that's it." I was so happy I didn't notice the ominous smile on his face. "How much?" I asked. "For you, I'd say... about sixty dollars and, before you ask why it's higher than a regular journal, it's because it was completely custom made," he stated. I pulled out my wallet and handed him the money. As I started walking away, he said, "Enjoy your trip." I was about to ask him what he meant by that, but before I could, I felt light headed and everything went black. Equestria, year 3599, place unknown testing facility, 3rd person POV Commander Calbloron was having a good night, he and his enforcers captured over 27 new test subjects for the company’s experiments. The only thing that bothered him was one of the subjects they captured... wasn't a pony at all. The creature itself was bipedal, had a flat face, it's nose wasn't connected to it's mouth likea  regular pony’s, it didn't have hooves or a tail, it's eyes were extremely small, and it's mane was extremely short. The strangest thing is that after we questioned the other "test subjects", they just kept saying that it just appeared out of nowhere. He was pulled out of his thoughts when the transport stopped, and we led the subjects off of the transport, except for the creature, since it was still unconscious, so Calbloron had his Sargent carry the creature into the facility. Needless to say, the scientists were ecstatic to do tests on the mysterious bipedal creature. We continued walking the subjects through the research facility until we got to their cells which nullifies all powers and magic, preventing an easy escape. The bipedal creature, however, was sent to a lone room for its cell, since the scientist have something “special” planned for it. A few hours later 3rd person POV After a few hours, the bipedal creature began to stir. Once it noticed that it was strapped to the medal table, it's eyes widened In shock after having a little freakout. The creature calmed down somewhat, but then it took note of its surroundings and, for some reason, it recognized certain things in the room. Then, it noticed the syringes and promptly began freaking out. Suddenly the intercom came on. "Ah, it seems the subject is awake… now we can begin testing… commencing the genetic alteration procedure," said the scientist over the intercom. > Chapter 1: experimentation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1: experimentation  Edited by: TheUltimateBrony-Class-S  First person POV  When I woke up, I saw a metal roof and a bright light. I tried to cover my eyes, but I couldn't, and my eyes widened as I slowly realized that I was strapped to a table. Then I saw the medical equipment, ‘A-am I in a hospital?' I thought, now calmed down, as I believed things to be okay now. But then I noticed all the injection needles surrounding my body, and, with my mind now racing, I began to try to get out. Then a voice began to speak, as if over a radio or intercom. "Ah, it seems the subject is awake… now we can begin testing… commencing the genetic alteration procedure." Then some mechanical arms grabbed my head, coming from the wall my head was almost up against, and held it still. Afterwards, two little mechanical arms came out and held my eyes wide open as two needles came into view. At this point, I began to panic, as all the needles began coming down towards my body and eyes. I tried to thrash around to try and get free of my bonds but to no avail. Then, I felt the needles puncture my skin and the contents were injected into my arms, torso, legs, cheeks, head, and eyes. At that moment, all I knew was pain, I screamed. I don't know how long I screamed, but when I was about to pass out from the pain, a new syringe was injected into me. I was filled with adrenaline, keeping me from going into unconsciousness, and then a new wave of pain rushed through my body as my body felt like it was on fire. It felt like my blood was being incinerated, I began to cry from the pain, and fear. 'Why, why are they doing this to me? I never did anything,' I thought as my body was racked with agonizing pain. After several hours of this, my crying slowed down to quiet sobs of pain. “Let me die... just let me die... please..." I whispered, not caring if they killed me anymore, I just wanted the pain to end. But then something happened, I felt the needles get pulled out. Then the mechanical arms that were holding my head still and eyes open let go, and I was finally able to close my eyes. I could barely move or see, so I just decided to lay there until unconsciousness finally came over me. Dr. Ginetic's POV, during experiment "Subject appears to be in distress and agony due to DX-2038 coursing through his system,” I stated, looking impressed. “I'm honestly surprised he's still alive even if just barely.” Then, I heard somepony call me over to the creature's belongings: a jacket, a shirt, a pair of pants, and some kind of journal. However, I could tell that it was no ordinary journal, since I, along with my fellow unicorn scientists, could sense that it was covered in void energy. Even stranger is that nopony could read it, and then there’s those who’ve tried, but they say that everytime somepony got close to reading it the words would just move around the pages. I turned my attention to the scientist next to the creature's belongings "Ah, Doctor Bolt, any news on the subject’s journal?" I asked him. “Well, no,” he stated, looking a bit downcast, before looking back to me, slowly gaining an excited expression, “but we have discovered that the subject’s journal is somehow connected to it, and, for whatever, reason every second something new appears in the journal, but we still can't read nor can we comprehend it, though, I do have a theory about it.” He then looked to the creature, “I believe that the journal is documenting everything about the subject." "Documenting... what exactly Doctor?" I asked, gesturing for him to continue. "I have reason to believe that it may be recording his life, starting from his first day and it will end on it's last,” Doctor Bolt answered, then quickly held up a hoof, “however, like I said, it's merely a theory, at least until we can find some way to read it." "Hmm... very well,” I nodded, then asked, “how is the project for Operation Nightmare coming along?" The scientist looked at me and said "It's coming along great actually, all we need is a flesh sample from our unique test subject." I gave a slight hum, before nodding, "Very well, once the test subject gains it's regeneration ability, we will go and take a sample," I said. Then the scientist handed me the newspaper and began talking about Sparkle Industries making history and saving lives with their medicine and prosthetics. I scowled at the paper as I thought, 'That little goody-two-shoes of a princess only sees the good in everypony and is wasting resources trying to help those who don't need it. What everypony needs, to save us, are weapons and soldiers, nothing more, nothing less and I plan to do just that.' I turned my attention back to the monitor showing the test subject, my scowl having faded, 'You will be our greatest weapon,  X-B-2039, and when you’re ready, you'll destroy that silly little dream of living in peace' I thought in glee and began to laugh. *later ??? POV* I just laid in place with my eyes closed. I was in so much pain and I was letting out small whimpers from before the pain suddenly intensified, which made my whimpers turn into small and quiet wails of pain. All I wanted then was for the pain to end, I wanted it so much. My hands felt like they were being broken, then put back together, along with my feet, and then I heard the sound of bones breaking, which confirmed my thoughts, which got me to think even through my haze of pain. 'I-if m-my body is ch-ch-changing like th-this then… then that m-means that th-they’re actually d-doing genetic e-experiments on m-me... o-oh god w-what are th-they doing to me... w-what am I g-going to t-turn into…?' I thought, frightened. From the looks of it and my own knowledge from games and movies usually genetic experimentation only happens when the bad guy is trying to either make a living weapon or some kind of monster I was afraid  afraid of what I would become but I couldn't think much of it as I felt myself succumb to the blackness of unconsciousness. *to be continued* > Canceled: sorry > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Due to my hard drive and stuff going through a memory wipe I lost all of my progress on my stories that have been published. So I'm really sorry butt the story is canceled. However if anyone wishes to continue the story with there own twist and ideas then go for it. And once again I'm really sorry for this but don't worry I have a good replacement story in progress and I hope you all will enjoy it.
