Chapter 9: Daniel is now a...what? (Rewritten)

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

As Daniel flew Annabelle to their home he was thinking of how he is apparently now one of the Elements of Harmony and in a way he didn't want to be as he had a hard enough time just learning to control his other powers, and since the princess wielded those elements in the past it will probably mean he will have more to do for the princess and less time to learn how to control his powers. "Focus Daniel, as long as you keep your sister safe and our true identities a secret for a while, then there's not much to worry about.".

"Daniel, can you take me to see the Timberwolves?" Annabelle had been curious about them ever since he mentioned them to her on the way to ponyville. After a moment of thought he decided to take her to visit them, not just so she could meet Brago and Thag but also so he could check up on them and make sure that nothing bad had happened to them when Nightmare Moon arrived.

"Sure, why not?" He changed the direction of the flight to go to the direction the Timberwolf citadel was and retraced the directions he went the first time he was lead there and soon he found it again. He landed a bit away from the gate then turned himself and his sister back to there normal forms. "It feels so good to be normal again." Annabelle ran up and hugged him with a happy smile which she normally did not do unless she missed him if he was away for a long time or if she was happy, she soon stopped the hug and then he decided to ask her why she did that. "Annabelle, what was that for?"

"I thought I was going to lose you when that scary pony attacked." He saw she was starting to cry and quickly picked her up.

"I ain't going anywhere anytime soon. I will be here for you. I promise." As they approached the gate he was greeted by a familiar voice.

"Welcome back Daniel." They turned around and saw scar, the same wolf who lead Daniel to the Diamond Dogs home. Scar saw that Daniel had someone with him that was the same race as him, then he remembered what he said to their king. "You have brought your younger sibling here?" His gaze shifted from her back to him.

"Yes. She wanted to meet a Timberwolf after she asked me why I made a machine." He remembered he did not mention that to Scar but what happened next surprised him.

"You are intending to keep your word?" Scar asked with his head tiled. Daniel was about to ask how he knew but Scar beat him to it. "Brago Mentioned it in the discussions they were having after you left. Why are you helping us?"

"I will be honest, at first I did not intend to do anything to help any of you but after what I saw between your kind and the Diamond Dogs and heard about how each of you have been hurt in someway or another. I felt like it was the right thing to do and I am also willing to help you wolves out with machines if you need them like I have said to the diamond dogs." This world was not his home but in a way there was things here that reminded Daniel of Earth and the fact that the ponies are the dominant species reminded him of how his race in his world was and how lots of animals were endangered because of the actions of some humans. So he felt like it was the right thing to do. He did not see the Timberwolves or the diamond dogs or the ponies of this world as animals but because he cared about animals back at home he felt complied to help them. "How is Thag doing?"

"Quite well actually, he is less stressed now that the Diamond Dogs have been taken care of, and the alliance between us seemed to be going quite well so far. Which reminds me, he wants to have a chat with you." Daniel was curious as to why Thag would want to speak to him so he walked towards the citadel. As he entered the main door and towards the hall where he was taken the first time he saw there was a few Timberwolves waiting at the door with no expressions on there faces. They were just standing like statues until scar got close to them. "He is here to meet Thag and it was also his request to speak with him." They all looked at Scar then Daniel before moving aside and opening the door.

As they entered the room Daniel saw that Thag was talking to a red eyed wolf with a cracked chest that was lying on the floor. This was the wolf that attacked him in the Everfree forest when Nightmare Moon returned. He was worried about how this would turn out so he walked forward with the thought that there is probably going to be a fight.

"Nice to see you again Daniel." Thag's voice was not like he heard last time as he sounded cheerful and he also saw that Daniel was looking at the injured wolf so he continued walking. "I would like to say Thanks."

"For what?" Daniel was surprised he was actually thanking him for something.

"For stopping Nightmare Moon. My wolves would likely not have survived if she was not stopped." Thag turned his gaze from the injured wolf to Daniel. "I do have two things to ask however. Why were you with the ponies and what were they doing close to a nest?"

"I could not have Annabelle stay in the house all the time and if I let her go out in this forest she could get lost, so I made us disguises and went to ponyville. As for why they were in there, we were after what the ponies call the Elements of Harmony." This seemed to make him a bit jumpy.

"With Nightmare Moon stopped, I take it they must have found them?" He sounded scared as he asked that.

"Yes they did, why, is something wrong?" Daniel was now curious as to why Thag would be scared of them, so he closed is eyes and stood still like he was trying not to freak out.

"The Elements of Harmony are the most powerful magical artifacts, almost anything that the ponies see as a threat they use them on." Daniel was still wondering why was he worried about them. Thag saw this and explain more to Daniel so he would understand. "Ponies don't know about me. They don't know that the Timberwolves have a king that is a spirit just like Discord and with the way that the ponies normally see us, if they discovered about me...well...you know." Daniel understood now.

"You are worried that if you are discovered the ponies will use them on you because they have only seen you as monsters?" Thag nodded at him and Daniel decided to put his fears to rest. "You don't have to worry about them one little bit, I would never use them against you." He tilted his head when Daniel said that. "I hope you don't take this the wrong way but...I am a bearer of one of those elements." Thag as well as every other Timberwolf in the room took a step back from Daniel. "Yes, I do wield one of those Elements and I will not use it on anyone here. But I am curious, why are you scared of them? All they did was remove the evil in Nightmare Moon and turn her back to Luna, so what is so bad about them?"

"You don't know what happened to Discord do you?" Thag asked to which Daniel shook his head. "He was turned to stone and from how long it has been it is likely to assume he will stay in stone permanently." Daniel was shocked to hear about this. These elements were supposed to represent harmony but they have been used as a weapon in the past to turn someone to stone which would likely mean it would kill them, and if it actually seals them in stone then that's worse. The victim is left to suffocate to death and lastly if it did keep them alive within the stone then that means they are left to go insane. Daniel stood there with shock on his face before it went back to normal.

"That's...That's...I don't even have a word for that. I know that my kind has done some horrible things before back in my world, but for a species to use something like that, to do that to someone and not have a slight bit of guilt. I thought the ponies were nice." He felt disgusted with himself knowing that he wields one of the Elements that could and have done something like that. "Well...What was Discord doing? Was he doing anything bad? Also how long ago was this? If it was hundreds of years ago when the ponies were still a young race then the ones of today might actually have half a brain to know not to instantly judge something."

"Discord was sealed about 1000 years ago and he used his powers to pull horrible pranks and even drive others to insanity. To brake up friends and families." If what Thag said about what Discord was doing was true then he would have indeed needed to be taught a lesson but sealing him like that was still horrible to think about.

"Well, it sounded like Discord did need a timeout but sealing him away like that is still a unpleasant thought and I won't use them on you, I swear." Thag seemed to clam down slightly. "Besides, this was 1000 years ago. As a species gets older it will likely get smarter. So they will likely see what they have done was wrong." Thag then noticed a younger human with Daniel.

"Is that you're sister?" Daniel set Annabelle down.

"Yes, it is." After he put her down he spoke to her. "This is King Thag, the leader of the Timberwolves." She stayed where she was, looking at the wolf in amazement.

"Hi, I did not expect you do be this tall when my brother mentioned about you." Her face change to one with a cheery smile. Thag turned back to Daniel.

"You kept your word and so have I. All timberwolfs in the forest know that you and your sister are friends." Daniel felt like he could trust Thag a bit more now. Because when he arrived at the other nest when trying to stop Nightmare Moon, he mentioned he was the human that helped and the leader of that pack seemed to understand so Thag must have told them, he did keep his word.

"Thanks for doing that. Also..." Daniel change him and Annabelle to their pony forms for a few seconds then changed back to their real human forms. "That's what we look like in pony form just so you know." Thag nodded to him.

"Well Annabelle, ready to go back home?" She thought for a few seconds.

"Can we go and see the Diamond Dogs too?" Daniel chuckled at her eagerness to explore more.

"Ok let's go." He started to use his powers and they took flight but before he left he turned back to Thag. "I swear, I will not use the elements on you, not even if Princess Celestia herself said to." He then left to go to the home of the Diamond Dogs.

Daniel retraced his steps and found their home quickly. Along the way he started to wonder if being a Element of Harmony was a good thing or a bad thing. When he and Annabelle arrived, there was still dirt hills all around the place and when he approached one of the dirt hills some dogs jumped out as expected. Annabelle hid behind Daniel as she got a fright from their sudden appearance but they soon stopped when they saw Daniel.

"You back?" He heard from behind him and turned around to see Rusty.

"Yes I am. My sister wanted to meet you guys and while I am here, can I speak to Brago?" Rusty and the other dogs did see a smaller human who was with Daniel and seemed to be shivering a little from the fright she just got.

"That fine, follow me." Rusty lead them down one of the tunnels and along the way Daniel saw several of the food dispensers he made last time he was here. The dogs seemed to be a bit more cheerful than usual and the pups were running around playing but the best part was that they look slightly more nourished than they were when Daniel was here before.

When he reached the tunnel that Brago was in the first time they met, he saw that there was a lot of dogs all around the place eating happily at tables and Brago was standing up on a throne made of dirt and gems were everywhere in the dirt around him and his throne. He then saw Daniel entering the tunnel.

"Nice to see you again Daniel. Join our feast, will you?" Annabelle was petting some pups that seemed to want to play with her before they started chasing one another around the place. Both Brago and Daniel chuckled at them then he turned to face Brago.

"What are you celebrating exactly?" This only seemed to make all the dogs laugh.

"What not be celebrated? We alliance with the wolves, we both making trade and defence plans and Evil Moon is stopped. Looks like bright future."

"How did you know of Nightmare Moon?" Most ponies did not seem to realize she was real until she appeared and with how far the Dogs live from ponyville or the ruins it is unlikely they would have witnessed the events.

"King wolf told us." Daniel was happy to see them like this, happy with not a threat to spoil it. He still thought their speech needed some improvment. "By way, how those machines you mentioned?"

"I did make one that was to help you guys, the Timberwolves and me. Unfortunately I passed out after making it and I have not checked up on it recently but I will when I return home." Brago looked over to where the pups and the smaller human were playing together.

"Your sibling?" He asked as he gaze went back to Daniel.

"Yes, she is my sister and she wanted to meet you guys. Also I am here to tell you something, Annabelle will you come here a moment?" She stopped playing and walked over to Daniel who then changed them both into their pony forms which caused all the dogs in the tunnel to stare at them in surprise. "This is our pony disguises, just so you know." He then turned them back to their human forms. "Thanks Annabelle, you can go back and play now." She rushed back to the pups.

"You plan to live with ponies?" Brago asked.

"Yes, I more or less have to now as..." He looked to the side, a bit worried about how they might react. "As I am now an Element of Harmony." He expected some Dogs to run or gasp but they were totally silent until he heard Brago speak.

"What those?" Daniel was a bit surprised thet they did not know what the Elements of Harmony were, but he did not want to explain.

"Ask Thag about them next time you have a talk with him, but know this, I won't use them on Thag, his wolves, you or your dogs." He hoped that Brago would not freak out when he realises what they were. "How are you and the wolves going to do trading? Isn't the forest still deadly thanks to the other creatures within it?" Brago pointed to a large tunnel, almost as big as the one they were in.

"We dig tunnel, safe travel and trade. It not done for while yet." Daniel thought that this was a good idea too. It would take a good while so Daniel made a mental note to try and find a quicker way to help if he could on time. Now that Annabelle had met them and he said what was needed Daniel decided it was probably time to head back home.

"Annabelle its time to head ba-" He stopped in mid sentience when he saw his sister asleep with the pups cuddling into her sides, now that Daniel thought about it she has not slept in a while, she was awake the full time that Nightmare Moon was around according to Spike. She woke up and she was a little red around the eyes. "Would it be ok if we stayed here for a while?" His view turned to Brago.

"Yes you can." Brago said having just finished eating some raw fish and Daniel decided to study while he was here if he could.

"Do you have some books I could read?" Brago shock his head in a way that says 'no'. "Well ok, I will be outside training." Daniel went through the tunnels and outside to start training with his powers again.

Half way through the night Brago jumped out and looked around for Daniel in a panic and Daniel stopped his training when he saw the look on his face.

"Brago, is something wrong?"

"Your little one. She screaming for something" Daniel listened closely and he heard Annabelle was screaming and crying over something. He rushed down the tunnels as fast as he could and when he reached the hall he saw what was wrong.

Annabelle was looking around frantically and crying. Screaming for her mum and dad and Daniel. She was having a night terror.

"Bro....Mum....Dad. Where are you!?" She was frantically looking around and breathing heavily. Daniel rushed up to her and help her in his arms.

"Shhhh. I'm here Annabelle." He whispered in her ear and rubbed her back in hopes it would calm her down.

"Bro? Where are you!? She was struggling in his hug but it was not enough to break it.

Daniel held her like that for about 15 minuets until she slowed down and slowly went back to sleep. He lay her back on the same spot where she went to sleep before and turned to Brago.

"If she starts acting like that again, let me know right away." Brago nodded and Daniel went back up top to continue training.

In the morning he went back to check on Annabelle and found her awake and eating some chicken and by the look on her face she was enjoying it, which reminded him of something.

"PIA, why was the food I made at the castle tasteless while the kinds made why these machines that were made by me are not?"

"You don't know how to add flavour to foods you make but the machines you made does." Ok so not he needed to learn how to add flavour to something so it actually has a taste. He actually smiled at this idea as he could probably change something to taste differently than it normally does which would be fun for pranks. He waited until Annabelle was done eating and made a glass of water appear then handed it to her.

"Thanks bro." She drank it and handed the glass back to him. Brago was on his gem throne talking to a Timberwolf so he waited patently until they were done talking before he started.

"Thanks for letting us stay here for the night." Daniel told Brago and he just smiled in return.

"It not prob." Daniel thought that he should head back to ponyville to see if everything was normal and to find out what ponies insurance looked like.

"Annabelle, Time to go." He heard her moan in disappointment but still walked back over to him and they both started to walk out.

"You two, welcome here anytime." Brago said to them as they left.

"Thanks." Daniel replied as they went through the tunnel and outside, he then turned them back to their pony forms and flew them back to ponyville but stopped about half way when he remembered he did not check on the machine he made but decided he would after he was done with what he needed to do in ponyville.

He landed at the edge of the forest and entered the town, when he did he saw that all the ponies were running around, searching all around like they were looking for someone but before he could ask what was happening, he was approached by a mint coloured unicorn.

"Hey you, Do you know where Twilight Sparkle is?" She asked like she was desperate to find her.

"No, w-" He did not finish his sentence as she just seemed to run away as soon as he said 'no'. "Well that was strange." He looked at Annabelle who looked just as confused as he was. "Lets head back to the library, she might be there." They started to walk to the library and knocked on the door only for there to be no answer but when he tried the door it was open. "Twilight. Are you here?" They entered the library and closed the door behind them.

"Where do you think she is?" Annabelle seemed a little concerned for her as she probably thinks of Twilight as a friend after spending some of their time helping her getting those preparations ready.

"I don't know where she can be but I am sure she wil-" He was cut off by a pink flash which turned out to be Twilight and Spike. Twilight looked terrified while Spike was woozy and had what looked like burns all over him.

"Warn me next time you're gonna do that." The burns he had turned out to actualy be ash and he shacked himself, causing all the ash to fall off him.

"I didn't even know it was going to happen. Now q-" She stopped in mid sentence when she saw Daniel and Annabelle standing there. "Oh no, not you too." She looked like she was about to break down so he stepped in quickly.

"Take it easy Twilight, just take a deep breath and tell me what is wrong?" She looked at him surprised.

"I don't know, I don't know. All of my friends have a good reason to go to the Gala. I don't know who to take and now you probably want to go." She was clearly stressed out but he needed more information to help.

"What's the gala?" Daniel asked with a raised eyebrow and Twilight looked at him with eyes the size of pinpricks.

"WHAT HOW COULD YOU...oh, you're not from here. Well the Gala, or the grand galloping gala is a famous event that is held in Canterlot and it is very hard to get a invitation, usualy there is all kinds of things, like music, food, interacting with famous ponies and Celestia herself greets the guests. My friends all want to go, and have good reasons to go and won't leave me alone about it." To Daniel the Gala did sound somewhat special but not that much that he would be nuts about going and he actual did not feel like going. Now if it was something like comic con back in his world then he would want to go. He looked down at Annabelle who just shook her head, Annabelle was also not one for crowds and did not seem that bothered about the Gala.

"No thanks, We don't want to go." Twilight gasped at this.

"You don't want to go? But...but...why Cosmos? What is not to like about it?"

"Have you been before?" Twilight froze for a few seconds.

"I...I...no I have not. But why don't you want to go?"

"I am not much for large crowds and I don't know anypony famous." He almost gagged when he had to say 'anypony'.

"Cosmos, you, me, the rest of our friends are famous because we all stopped Nightmare Moon." Daniel was not happy to hear that, if he was famous then it would likely draw attention to him which he didn't want or need. If he went to the gala then others might start to want to understand more about him like celebrities back in his world so he now had a reason to avoid going.

"All the more reason not to if we are famous, I don't like crowds, You are clearly worried about who to take so...why don't you take them all?" Twilight looked upset when he asked that.

"I can't, celestia only sent me 2 tickets." This caught Daniels attention.

"Hold on. Celestia, you're teacher, who knows that you have 9 friends sent you 2 tickets? What's the deal with that?" He wondered why Celestia would do such a thing.

"The gala is very famous so perhaps she could only get 2 tickets. I still don't know what to do." He thought for a moment before he had a idea.

"Hey Twilight, I have a idea." She turned to look at him eager to hear anything that could help her solve her problem. "Why don't you just return the tickets? If you do that then sure your friends might feel sad about it, but they won't feel neglected as you are not choosing somepony over another. Also if you mention why you are returning the tickets then Celestia will understand." Twilight thought about that.

"You're right, I don't want my friends to feel like that and she might get some reserved spaces for us next time, but what if she still can't get all of us?" Daniel could tell she was still worried about it.

"It's not that interesting to us anyway, you and you're friends should go. I don't mind not going and I don't think Strawberry does either." Twilight was feeling a bit better, she was still surprised that there was actually somepony who did not want to go to the Gala but the fact that Daniel had just said that he does not want to go, and she would not make him feel upset with her choice made her feel very relieved. She looked at Daniel with a smile before hugging him, which shocked Daniel. The hug went for a few seconds before Twilight realised what she was doing and pulled away.

"Sorry about that, but, thanks for the help. Spik-" She was about to ask Spike to send a letter before she was interrupted.

"Wait." They looked to the source of the voice to see all their other friends and Twilight was about to start freaking out again but Applejack started to talk. "Twilight sugar, I didn't mean to put so much pressure on you, and if it helps, ah don't want the ticket anymore. You can give it ta somepony else, ah won't feel bad, ah promis." Fluttershy then flew over to Twilight.

"Me too, I feel just awful that I made you feel so awful." Daniel was starting to feel happy seeing his other friends act this way.

"And me too, it's no fun upsetting your friends."

"Twilight, it was unfair of me trying to force you as I did." They all seemed to come to their senses and understand.

"Yes, that means the ticket is mine." Rainbow Dash started to dance in mid air but all the others just stared at her angrily. "You know, I haven't perfected my signature moves for the wonderbolts anyway, I don't need that ticket either."

"We all got so gung ho about goin to the gala, that we couldn't see how un gun how we were makin you."

"We're sorry Twilight." They said in unison and twilight looked like she was now cheered up.

"Spike take down a note. Dear Princess Celestia, I have learned that one of the joys for friendship is to shearing your blessings." Spike wrote as Twilight continued to talk and finished writing the letter, then he sent it off with the tickets.

"Now you can't go to the Gala either." Fluttershy said to twilight.

"It's ok, I couldn't possibly enjoy myself without my best friends there with me, so i'd rather not go at all." She said that last part after they all hugged and Spike made a face that described how Daniel felt about that but he and Annabelle were pulled into the hug by Applejack.

"Yer our friends too." He decided not to argue and just go with it. Spike looked like he was about to throw up.

"Well wallow my witters Spike, isn't that just like a boy, can't handle the least bit of sentiment." He burped out green fire which almost hit Applejack in the face and Daniel was holding back the urge to laugh about her also getting what she deserved for being sexist, the green flame formed into a scroll.

"A letter from the Princess? That was fast." Spike started to read it.

"My faithful student Twilight, why didn't you just say so in the first place? 8 Tickets to the grand galloping gala." He said while holding the tickets out to which all the girls gasped.

"Now we can all go." Daniel did that math and realised something, but they all cheered but then Twilights stomach rumbled.

"Allow us to treat you to dinner." Rarity said to Twilight and they all took their tickets from Spike as they walked out, Daniel was the only one who did not and they all turned around and looked at him but Spike looked at the two ticket he had in his hand then back at Daniel and Annabelle.

"How come I don't get a ticket to the gala?" Spike asked, clearly upset.

"You can have mine spike." They all looked at him with surprised looks.

"Cosmos, will you not go with us? It won't be the same without you." They all looked at him with pleading eyes.

"There is the 6 of you, Spike and me, that make 8, and I won't go without Strawberry and it won't be nice if Spike was left here." Annabelle hugged Daniel while still looking at the others.

"And I wont go without my brother." Spike burped again to reveal another letter.

"And one for you Spike." There was a 9th golden ticket in the letter. He was holding it while giggling but stopped when he saw the look Applejack was giving him. "I mean gross, I have to go to?" He then walked outside giggling and the others saw this and smiled before turning back to Daniel.

"Will you Cosmos?" Twilight asked him, he looked at Annabelle who was also looking at him waiting for his answer.

"I don't like crowds...but we will think about it."

"Well I hope you agree to come along with us. Also where were you both yesterday?" Daniel thought up a explanation quickly.

"We went back to our house in the Everfree, or tried to but got side-tracked by things my sister wanted to stop and see, if you don't mind we will be heading back there to get a few thing back before moving here." The others had concerned looks on their faces.

"Are you sure you will be ok?" Daniel chuckled.

"Twilight, would I still be alive if I wasn't?" he asked smiling.

"Good point, but do you have a house here in ponyville?"

"No we don't and I am going to look for work to buy one. But I don't need to work for long. About 2 to 3 weeks and I could buy one."

"Well Applejack is hiring for help on her farm and you and your sister can stay in my library until you have a house of your own if you want, The place has enough space." Daniel felt a bit uncomfortable staying in a house that was not his or his parents but for the sake of his sister he accepted.

"Ok thanks. Now if you don't mind we will be going back to get a few things." Daniel and Annabelle took their tickets and walked towards the forest. When they were a good bit within it Daniel used his powers and started to fly them back home, it was night so he would be harder to be seen and he could still see like it was daytime so he had no problem finding his way back.

When they arrived back at their house he changed them back into their human forms and unlocked the front door using his key then locked it again when they were inside, he turned on a lamp, placed the tickets on the wooden table the lamp was on and switched the light on. He decided now was a good time to check on that A.I he made so he went up the stairs to the door that lead there but he heard Annabelle follow him. He turned around to see her smiling at him.

"Can I see the robot too?" Daniel saw nothing wrong with that as he did make it with orders to do what they said so why not.

"Yes. You can." He heard a 'Yay' from her before he opened the door and descended down the stairs and opened the other door where he was greeted by a robot. Which made him worried as he was sure he thought of a computer A.I and not an actual robot. Sure he did want it to make robots with different functions but to have one made so quickly from only recently being constructed itself was quite impressive. It was about 4 feet tall, had 5 legs in the way the sides of a pentagon would be and they were covered in a silver coloured metal.

He could see that the underside of the legs had no metal covering them so its leg joints were viable from under it. If it was facing north while standing on a compass then one leg would be facing north, one between north east and east, the other between north west and west and the same with the other 2 legs, one between south west and south, the last leg, between south east and south.

The legs connected to a silver sphere which had a large black eye in the centre with a small green light in the middle which looked like a pupil. Under the eye looked like a speaker and it had an antenna on the top of its head. It stood there looking at them and after a while the green pupil in it's eye seemed to get bigger and at the same time, it took a few steps towards them before it started to scan them and after a few seconds it stopped then spoke.

"Designation: Daniel and Annabelle. Laboratory status: Owners, Founders and Creators. Welcome back." It spoke in a robotic voice, but also sounding a bit feminine. It's voice also sounded a bit like it belonged to a child as its voice was a bit squeaky but what sent a chill up Daniel's spine was when it said 'Welcome back' there was a half shutter bit of metal that seemed to rise from under its eye and with the way it's eye was at that moment it looked like it was smiling even though it did not have a mouth to show it. Annabelle was hiding behind Daniel, unsure of what to think about what she was looking at. Daniel thought the same but knew he would not get an answer by just standing there and if this robot was programed like he thought it was then it would listen to him.

"Where is the A.I that I made and what is your function?" He did not take his eyes off the robot mostly because he was impressed by it as this was the first real robot he has seen that seems to need no kind of controller or machine to give it orders for it to function. He also felt strange when he was looking at it, he felt like he knew it.

"Alpha is a few steps behind me, We call it Alpha because it was the first of us. My function is to guard the lab. I must say it is very nice to finally meet you." Daniel sort of understood that they would call the first one, the one he made, Alpha and he was not complaining. It was one less thing for him to do and that was to think of a name for it.

But what caught his attention was the robot said 'we' instead of 'I' so is there more? As he looked around he saw that the lab was slightly bigger than before and there was other robots just like this one that were going around the place and they looked like they were constructing more machinery. Some were making different kinds of computers while some were making what looked like small satellite dishes and a few others seemed to be making some more construction plans with holographic imagery. Daniel counted the robots and there was a total of 10 including the one he just met.

What further got his attention was that the robot said 'It is very nice to finally meet you' so Alpha must have programed them to act with and respond to different emotions. At the centre of the room was a small pillar that was about 5 feet tall and it had a small glowing blue digital sphere projecting slightly off the top. The pillar itself had mechanical hands and other equipment on the sides of it.

"That must be Alpha." Daniel approached it while the other robots stopped what they were doing and looked at Daniel and Annabelle with the same large green pupils in their eyes which caused Annabelle to hug Daniel tighter, he to was somewhat unnerved with all the eyes that seemed to be on him. When he reached the pillar the sphere that was there was gone and was replaced with a blue holographic image of him. Daniel was looking at a smaller holographic version of himself.

"Welcome back." The voice of Alpha sounded like a robotic version of Daniel's voice. He wasted no time and decided he would greeted Alpha before he decided to get some answers.

"Nice to see you too Alpha. How did you make so much robots in such little time and also why are they acting like that?" The other robots that were just looking at them before had now stopped what they were doing and were around him and Annabelle, not to close but also not to far.

"I made them from your blood and they are acting like this because they are happy to see you." Daniel was in total shock, did these robot have feelings? But that would make them sentient and PIA said that he can't make sentient life.

"How did you do that? Make them from my blood, and how can they feel emotions?" Alpha then pointed to the floor with a mechanical hand.

"When you passed out after creating me you were lying in your own blood and after Annabelle took you away I used some of the equipment you gave me when you constructed me. I decoded your blood and discovered it could alter matter but sadly I could not use it properly as I did not have the energy to cause it to change the matter around me into other things. But what I did have enough energy to do was to cause it to change itself and with that I made these robots. When they were made everything about them was made from altering your blood, the metal they have on them carries your DNA and they also obtained emotions from being made from blood. I can't make anymore as I used up the blood that I obtained."

Daniel was now confused. It is true that he wanted to understand this world and it's creatures so he did give Alpha a DNA decoder to understand something genetically but that's not what confused him.

"PIA what is the deal? You said I can't make sentient life."

"You can't with your power or other kinds of energies but you can by normal means." Now Daniel was more curious.

"Then how can these robots have emotions and what do you mean by normal means?"

"Things like intercourse and cloning can make sentient life. While the life made from intercourse will have a spirit, a soul. Cloning sadly will not, they were made from your blood but were also alter to be robots so that's why these robots have emotions. They were cloned and altered, in a way they are you. Like an extension or a shadow but not the real you. They might have real emotions but sadly they don't have real souls." Daniel continued to look at alpha.

"Hold on" He looked around at the robots that were looking at him happily "If they were made like that by my own DNA then does that mean that I am their...their..." He did not get to finish.

"Daddy!!!". He heard them all say simultaneously, some had the voice of a girl while others had the voice of a boy and they all went over to him and hugged him. Daniel just stood there and looked on in shock and Annabelle was looking at this, bit off to the side not knowing how to take this.

Author's Notes:

Author: I decided to not add a crossover tag as such things as a heart of something cant be just from marvel and because the one I had Daniel merged with was different its almost totally another thing, Although I will say again that I was inspired by their idea of such a thing.

*Crash*

Author: What the fu.....*Sees his OC*.....Daniel what the fudge are you doing here?
