Hours after Bio left Navigator's house he finds himself at the outer boarder of the raider country Navigator warned him about, Ponyville. "Alright then just got to walk around the outer area of this supposed hell on Equestria and make it to New Appaloosa to find one of those 'survival guide' things and...". Bio suddenly catches the scent of a horrid aroma, looking around his eyes fall upon piles of rotting corpses surrounding the landscape, dry blood and half rotten corpses lay around the ground like weeds, cold dead stairs given at every direction, many towards Bio. "Oh... fuck... well I best be heading off now and...".

<"You know this must be justified".>

Bio stops in a sudden shock, looking around for the owner of the voice. "Uh, hey who was that"!?

<"Justice must be paid, even if blood must be spilled".>

"Who the heck are you, where the heck are you"!? A sharp sound followed by an agonizing pain strike Bio in his left front leg, the pain drops bio to the ground. "SHIT"! several more small sharp sounds pass by missing Bio leaving small craters in the hard dry ground".

"look boys he's already a shade of red, we'll have to work to see that ones blood"!

In complete fear Bio limps over behind a pile of corpses ignoring the horrid sent, looking at his injury Bio see's the blood has stopped spilling out and several glowing blue lines appear over the wound. "what the!? is that what navigator was talking about"!? the wound disappears as do the lines fading from Bios leg. "what the...". Bio shakes his hoof for a bit feeling no more pain. "like new". several more sharp sounds pass by Bio's ear followed by yelling.

"we know your back their red now come on out and make it easier for every pony".

Shivering in fear Bio levitates the knife to his side , breathing fast and out of control. "SHIT, SHIT, SHIT, SHIT,SHHHIT"!!!

<"For the dead's sake, avenge them"!>

"What the fuck, are you in my head, great now I'm gonna die with an annoying voice trying to get me to fight for a bunch of long dead ponies".

<"If you have lost your way this much then i will take control"!>

"What"!? Bio notices a small patch of his coat changing to a dull gray color, several other patches change to the same color and continue to grow across his coat connecting to each other till his entire coat is a dull grey. "What the fuck..."!? Bio shakes for a few moments his eyes looking up to his main seeing it turn to a light blond color, dropping his weapon Bio starts quivering on the hard dirt floor forgetting about the threat of raiders entirely. "What the fuck... what are you"!?

<"I am Instinct".>

The world in Bio's eyes starts to fade to a pitch black void, the sounds and scent's lost as if he fell unconscious

When Bio regain consciousness  his body feeling heavy and cold as if he were wet when out in a the wind, as he tries to stand his eyes lids feel as if they had water or some form of sticky liquid had been splashed and dried on them. "What the... what happened"? Bio's eyes open quickly, the memory of his transformation flashing back he checks his main and coat and they are back to their normal shades of red. "What the hell happened"?

<"Justice".>

"Who, what, what was that"!?

<"I took control of the body".>

"You took control of my body!? What are you"!?

<"Yes, I was programed into you and have the ability to take control of and change the physical appearance of this body, we can even change it's race".>

"Well that explains that... wait my race too did you change that as well"?

<"yes, I prefer to be a Pegasus for flight comes naturally to me, since it was placed into my core programing all the knowledge of Pegasus flight, plus it makes combat easier and ends battles faster".>

"You changed my race to Pegasus how, programing what, please explain".

<"To put it shortly you are creation of a mad scientist from before the war that turned the world into the hell it is today".>

"... why does that sound so cliche".

<"As true as it is we are all stuck like this, and the advanced bio-mechanics that were used to reconstruct your body to what it is now keep us  alive, I'm sure by now you have noticed the blue lines".>

"Ya, I have... wait you said we are stuck like this not were stuck like this... their are more of you in my head aren't their"?

<"Correct, including me their are five of us".>

"... are they all different"?

<"That's an odd question to ask when you are relearning about your own 'roommates' I guess you can call us".>

"Ya, I'm aware but just out of curiosity".

<"In a word... yes, they are very different from each other"!>

"... and"?

<"It's best if you meet them yourself, but not for a some time they haven't been reactivated yet".>

"Reactivated? Oh, you said something about programs right"?

<"Well, more like AI's, we were uploaded into your brain during your creation or rebirth as 'he' had it".>

"This 'he' is  the mad scientist you mentioned"?

<"Yes, his name was mecca hoof... he died years before the war ".>

"(gulp) Best if i don't ask how, right"?

<I won't speak of it if you do not want to hear it".>

"...sure, wait what did you do when you took over my body"?

<... justice, du? just look behind you".>

When Bio turns his himself around his eyes are met with the sight of eight dead ponies. Three from decapitation, two from large gashes and stab wounds still spraying blood,two more filled with small holes like the one Bio had before it healed, and one with a large pool cue shoved down their throat and out their chest, blood sliding down side of stick. "Holy crap! You did all this all by yourself"!?

<No, Contract helped after I killed that first raider with his own pool cue".>

"... Contract"?

<The mare hugging your tail with the flashing metal collar around her neck and piece paper in her mouth".>

Bio's eyes look straight down to his tail, a bluish gray earth pony mare with a dark blue main and tail and a shield and sword cutie mark curled up around his tail with metal caller half rusted and scratched with a red light blinking on one side around her neck.

The mare looks up to Bio's face, blushing slightly then places the paper in her mouth on the ground as she stands up and begins to speak.   "You're quite the fighter aren't you, but why did you change from light grey and blond to red"?

"Well, I uh... I'm not quite sure to be hon...".

"And why did you...".

"Hang on! One question at a time. Just who are you and why did you help me, Instinct back their"?

"I was originally fighting him, but he killed my last master so according my contract I obey the one who kills my former master".

Bio looks down at the paper on the ground and starts levitating it to read. "This is your contract then... Contract"?

"Yes, there's not much to it. The five rules I need to follow and the terms of my use".

"(gulp) Terms of 'YOUR' use"?

"Yes".

Bio unfolds the paper looking at the rules and regulations.

Bio drops the paper from his levitation with a highly confused expression on his face. "What the fuck kinda shit is this"!?

"From now on you are my master".

"I understand that but who the hell did this to you"!?

"I did this to myself".

"...WHY'?!

"I am the child of a slaver and a raider, long story short this is how they raised me".

"... Why"?

"... they were the only family I had, the way I obeyed them was with the first four rules on that contract, when they passed three years ago i took some of my fathers old slaver equipment and did this, my moms raider combat training help me fit into raider clans so they usually kill who ever is my master is at the time and take me for themselves".

"... And the marriage part"?

"... In case I get lucky". Contract starts giving off a perverted smile making Bio blush right through his already red coat".

"uhh, well...".

Contract places her hoof on Bio's mouth in a lustily form with a slightly larger perverted smile on her face. "Hush now, we can talk more in a safer place, the other raiders in town are gonna start wondering where their 'friends' went by now".

"Uh, right come on we're headed to New Appaloosa".  

The two trot off away from the Ponyville border and back onto the path way to New Appaloosa.
