Len laughed happily as she rode down the road at high speeds on her supped up sparrow, her ponytails flowing in the wind as she drove without a care in the world. Even she had to to admit she was having so much fun just riding around with Blood Wing on her back in an anthrofied form.

“This is so much fun Len! Can it go any faster?” she yelled over the wind. Not an easy feat obviously, yet Len could hear her perfectly.Len grinned and kicked it up another 20 MPH in response eliciting happy laughter and cheers from Blood.

“Len’s heart raced a mile a minute, not because of their crazy fast speeds, but because of the beautiful mare wrapped around her. The two were just so happy and it almost made no sense but Len couldn’t question it, or wouldn’t not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth. Sadly their fun was not meant to last it would seem.

Suddenly the bike disappeared as Len suddenly went tumbling down the road at a over 200 MPH, not a fun experience though she could also tell it didn’t hurt as much as it should have. As she came to a halt she noticed the world around her changing and fading to black.

By the time she had managed to get back to her feet she was surrounded by nothing but darkness. Her fearful eyes desperately scanned around for anything in panic. The fact that she found nothing seemed to seemed her further into panic mode. Whatever was going on she did not like it one bit and wish for it to end.

Len shot around in fear at the sound of sudden laughter to see nothing. Another bout of laughter had her frantically searching for its source, fear growing and overtaking her. That is until her more rational, machine like side kicked in and reminded her that she was, in fact, dreaming right now.

“It’s just a dream, Len, get your act together.” she told herself trying to calm herself down. “Nothing can actually hurt you here because none of it is real.”

“You sure about that Len?” The red headed girl shot around only to come face to face with the last person she had expected to see.

“Gaige.” she whispered out in shock.

Gaige only laughed as she strode closer to the girl. “You don’t even sound surprised. Guess you sort of knew this was coming.” Gaige slowly circled around around Len like some kind of predator complete with an amused grin.

“L-listen, I don’t know why you’re here, but I-” Len was silence by a finger gently being placed to her lips. her fear was evident and, no matter how badly she wanted to dismiss this as just a part of her weird dream, deep down she knew this was the real deal. That alone was enough to send her fear into overdrive. After all, what would you do if someone had kind of stolen your body, your life, everything.

Gaige’s grin widened at sight of pure fear in Len’s eyes before bursting out in a fit of laughter. Once she calmed down again she placed a reassuring hand on Len’s shoulder. “Relax shit for brains, I’m not here to take my body back or anything like that.” she reassured her. “I’ve actually been here the whole time but I’ve been too busy trying to keep your mind intact.”

“Wait what?” Len questioned, curious as to why her mind would be in danger of falling apart. “What are you talking about? Am I really going crazy?”

“Fraid so, and that little techno organic experiment you’ve been testing on yourself has been making it worse.” Len looked as though she was going to start hyperventilating right then and there, that is until Gaige got a hold of her helped her calm down. “Don’t worry so much, i got a plan to deal with it numb skull. All we have to do is finish that experiment. A perfected dose will fix everything, for the most part.”

Len’s eye twitched. “Are you serious! Do you know how hard it’ll be to finish that?” she raged at Gaige.

“Judging by your most recent notes you aren’t to far off from figuring it out, and with me by your side i know will fix this.” Gaige said with confidence. “Besides, I actually came up with a few new formulas and such for you to try. Here, take a look.” she said as she brought up a few formula’s. Len immediately took interest in one in particular.

“Wow, this is amazing! Especially this one. If I change a few things I should be able to make techno organic limps for myself to replace my arm or just in case something happens and I need to replace any more lost limbs.”

Gaige took a look as well noting the same. “Hugh, would you look at that. You really are just as brilliant as I am.” Gaige commented.

“Why thank you.” Len said with a bow before taking a better look at the others. “These could work in theory, but the materials for them either don’t exist here on Equestria or are very rare and hard to obtain.”

“Not to worry, we can always find a suitable substitute. Oh, and I also took the liberty of drawing up some design plans for a body for Desolation. You should think about renaming her by the way. Desolation is a bit weird. Maybe you should just give her my name instead.”

Len pondered the thought for moment. “Maybe, it's definitely something to consider I guess. For now, I think ti might be time for me to wake up. I can already hear the birds chirping.” Len replied as faint chirping could be heard.

Gaige nodded with a grin. “Yeah, sure. I’ll be a bit more active in conversing with you, both in your sleep and while you’re awake. Just until we fix this problem and fix your mind. Should be fun right?”

“Yeah, it should, but do me a favor and speak through the coms out loud so people don’t think i’m crazy or something... Well, more so than they already do.”

Gaige nodded before extending her hand to Len. Len grinned and grabbed her by the arm, Gaige doing the same before they both shook as everything faded to white.

...

Len slowly opened her eyes before yawning and stretching. Then, the memories of her conversation with Gaige suddenly hit her like a freight train. She would have shot up and gotten right to work, after breakfast of course, but a glance down revealed two role figures wrapped around her, nuzzling her in their sleep. My life may be in danger but come on, who could really leave from this.

Len sighed knowing she’d have to slip out of this somehow and get started soon. After doing so she quietly made her way out and to her forge to begin working. Desolation looked over them as well wondering when her mother had drawn this up.

“Um, mom? Where did you get these plans?” she asked as she eyed some plans for a body for her.

“Don’t worry D, just know these experiments are now much more important. just search up viable substitutes for anything in these formula’s that might not exist in Equestria.”

“Alright mom, if you say so.” Desolation said before getting to work. She was still worried about her mother but she trusted her and knew that whatever she was hiding she hid for a good reason.

Len sighed, she knew she shouldn’t hide things from Desolation. She didn’t want to get into that habit or be like those stupid superheroes who keep secrets in hopes of protecting those close to them.

“If we can’t get this experiment right then my mind will be lost forever and I’ll turn into a psychopathic killer.” Len paused to allow Desolation time to process that. The silence showed that it wasn’t easy for the AI to process at all. “If we fail i’ll need you to kill me, alright. Don’t let me hurt anyone we care about.”

More silence. Not a good sign in Len’s opinion, not when it came to Desolation. “I understand mom.” The AI finally said. “Failure is not an option.” Len had to grin at that. Desolation always was optimistic.

“hey, by the way, I want to change your name. Is that alright?” Len asked as she began working on the designs for Desolation’s new body.

“Oh, and what did you have in mind?” D asked in her usual cheery voice, though it sounded a bit more forced.

Len grinned as she worked. There was one name in particular that held a lot of meaning for her that she was sure D would love. “Vanessa. Vanessa Heartworthy.”

A pause of silence as D considered the name. “I like it.”

Len’s grin grew at her reply. “It’s my mother’s name. And if we ever get a chance, I’ll take you to meet her.”

“I’d like that mommy. Now, let’s get back to work on this body of mine so I can start hugging the crap out of both you and my other mommies.” Len chuckled and nodded.

“Let’s”
