Load Full Story Next ChapterChapter 1 A NEW BEGINNING
Legends...
Stories that are so great, can fade with time
As years and centuries go by the legends fade becoming nothing but myths and fiction
Even the mysteries of the universe can fade into nothing
But sometimes even the smallest spark can light up a whole other world
And that is where this story begins...
It was a bright day; as the sun's heat was survivable by the cool wind that blew in the air. the trees blew in the wind and rustled; flowers were as colorful as ever; As the rays of the sun high in the blue sky reflected off nearby shop windows and houses; the heat from the sun radiated off the tarmac road and as the almost quite street stood in the heat the quite day was sadly disturbed by the sound of running and a cocky voice shouting…
“Come catch me if you can suckers!”
Followed by another "you’re going to run out of places to hide at some point!"
As the sun shined brightly as ever the shadow of a person that looked no bigger than an average person was running not to something but from something. As shadows of 2 other bigger entities where chasing after the shadow in their sight.
the shadows danced over and under objects that passed by; they then stopped as the smaller shadow ducked into an alley and turned as it stood at the end of a brick wall
“Alright really you’re going to kill me. I mean come on look at what happened to last person who tried that and honestly do you think you have a chance?” Said the person as the two chasers stopped "not like you had a chance to begin with"
the person wore a black jacket with a red shirt underneath, he also wore black trousers along with red shoes that had a red strip running along the bottom and he wore a glove on his right hand. but his face was covered by a hood but his left eye had a bandage of sorts wrapped around.
“Look you got in the way and need to pay for interfering you brat”
Came one of the voice sounding a lot deeper than the other one that spoke with a higher pitch.
“Yea so you better stand still and make this easy or else” Threatened the voice
"ohhh come on guys i only wanted to completely screw your little robbery over that's all but then again i don't want to fight people who can't fight back. plus i don't really give a shit about any of you” Said the person with a cocky grin
"oh yea coming from the loser that hangs around with girls" laughed the higher pitched person
"yes the one who actually has friends, so if you excuse me ive got things to do so... let's do this" The boy said as the two boys rushed him
Just as the 2 thugs almost grabbed the boy he leaped into the air, spun and landed over the other side of the thugs with a thud. He then ran up and spun one of the guys into the air and kicked him just before he hit the ground. The other brought his fist towards the kid's face but soon winced in pain as his hand vibrated with pain.
"Ghaa what the hell did I hit!? steel?" He yelled in pain before seeing a hand rest on his shoulder
"Close-" The boy then knocked the guy out with a single punch as his boy dropped "-But steel melts too quickly, Titanium on the other hand is perfect, Bye now!" He said before walking away as he whistled to himself
Later…..
As a dim lilted room was illuminated by rays of the sun cracking through a window
The room was an average room a bed with a T.V, droors, a cabinet beside the bed with a little lamp. On the other hand there was a chair sitting by a computer. The black appendages moved quickly but accurately across a keyboard and the the appendages began to remove the glove and bandage around the figures head then the figure became clear in the light reflected from the screen.
He was a tall but skinny person. His hair was a dark black and his eye was brown. The only strange thing about this teen is his right arm, left leg and left eye.
His arm and leg were a shiny metallic grey and as they moved the turning of a gear could be heard and faint red lights glowed in between the joints of the limbs. They were also reflecting the glare of the monitor off his metal limbs. His eye was grey with a crimson pupil in the center.
As the focused person let out a sigh he looked around his room but all that greeted him was darkness.
“Well another day of almost getting killed, another day in this dark and creepy room” thought the boy "like really can i not get one day without slander oh wait no because it's a crime to hang around girls. well then all the more reason to get them back!"
Then as he continued typing it was short lived for what broke the silence was something no one could comprehend?
The room lit up As electricity shot around the room and a purple vortex opened up and began stretching to almost half the room until it began to suck in any matter that was loose.
“Ah what the hell is this!!?” As he held on for dear life he started to slip ever so slightly.
“Of all things to happen this is the 2nd strangest… well maybe a close 3rd but” Thought the boy “Really even with these metal limbs I can’t even get a grip on this bloody table also what the fuck is going on!?” Thought the boy as he panicked
As the scraping of nails; was cut off with the person falling into the vortex.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!” Shouted the boy
As his voice echoed into nothing so did the vortex and with that the vortex and the person was gone to wherever the other side is…
It was a cold wet day in equestria; a storm had appeared over a gloomy village surrounded by towering mountain peaks that gave a grim vibe thanks to the looming storm. And shadows of the peaks flashed as lighting clashed in the sky.
But an object could be seen falling from the center and it looked alive but too weak to move. it then landed with a thud in the mud as it slowly opened its metal eye.
"ugh... ow my leg, well actually my everything; alright legs don't fail me now" said the crippled entity as he slowly rose to his feet but fell as the pain shot up his body
"OK never mind i'll just lay here and slowly freeze to death" he said sarcastically to himself
as he lay there slowly freezing to death on the cold wet ground as the rain poured down apon him a figure ran up beside him and lifted him up. he only managed to say one thing before passing out
"hey what's with the skittle colored hair" he joked before everything went black
note to self never fall into portals of unimaginable power and expect to land in a nice, beautiful, peaceful place. but expect to find a world of pain, suffering and darkness... wait where am i exactly? oh yea passed out... well then time to wake up
Later…
“Uhhh…my…head. Where… where am i?” asked Blaze as his vision began to clear
“You were caught in a terrible storm but my friend saved you from a terrible fate.” came a calm male voice
“A... a storm…. WAIT i... I was sucked into a vortex and then I only felt cold and the wind passing through me. ; Then after that nothing.” A confused look was shown on his face then a more WTF look
“Wait a minute… please tell me your not the one talking right now?” asked Blaze as he tilted his head
“Well i'm the only one here so yes?” came the voice from a grey pony that had blue eyes and a dark grey mane and looked relatively young
“OK that’s it I am so dead there’s no way your talking right now! “Blaze said in alarm” “OK this is number one on the list of WTF shit that’s happened to me!” said Blaze in panic and confusion
“Right you know what just roll with it and see what the hell is going on” Blaze thought
As Blaze adjusted his eyes to the light. What he saw was a dimly lit cave. More homely looking than any other but scattered around was furniture and other essentials and a waterfall glistening in the light as well and a temple built into the mountain.
As he looked around a giant open arch peered down to a beautiful village that looked lively as the sky above with not a single cloud to be seen.
“Anyway where am i? (Thud) Ow...? What the hell why can’t I st…” Blaze froze
As he realized he could not stand up because as he ran or tried to run over to the waterfall what he saw sent chills down his spine as he felt his gut sink like a rock.
What he saw was a small pony with a black mane and tail, peach fur, one brown eye, one cybernetic leg and arm and one red cybernetic eye and metal wings; he saw that he had bandages wrapped around parts of his body then he looked into his eyes.
“What, what the hell has happened to me!!?” he said in alarm
“I’m a… pony. What the hell is going on? OK this is all just a bad dream right? Wait it cant it all felt so real.” “He looked in disbelief at what he was seeing; his eyes then became sad "i-i-i just can't believe it..."
“Are you OK you seem shocked…? Are you saying you aren’t from this place?”
“I…I don’t know everything is just so hard to remember. The only thing I remember was my room and then a portal and zap i’m here and to answer your question do i sound all cheery to you!?" shouted Blaze
”where the hell am I and why the hell am I talking to horses or ponies ugh I don’t know?” He thought "I really must have hit the ground with a fucking mallet landing on top of my head"
“Well you are welcomed to stay as long as you like. I’ve got enough room you also seem to not know where or what you are or are just odd. But before that you mind telling me your name?”
“Well OK thanks are you sure? but i just can't wrap my head around this and iv'e seen a lot of weird shit” Blaze said as he sat down
“Yes I would say there’s a lot of space on a mountain" He said sarcastically at the pony
My name is Desmond. This is my friend Rainbow Dash.” he then pointed towards another cave entrance
“I’m Blaze Hawk; nice meeting you two Desmond and i guess ill be dealing with this for now.” said Blaze as he pointed to himself
As he said that a cyan colored pony came around the corner. She had a rainbow mane and tail and her eyes were magenta colored and glistened in the light as well as a symbol at her sides that resembled a cloud with a rainbow lighting bolt coming out of it.
“Hi my names Rainbow Dash best flyer around and soon to be best all over Equestria and you’re the crazy kid with the weird limbs and the one that made fun of my hair.” she said with a hint of annoyance
“Um hi Rainbow nice to meet you, I’m Blaze and for the record I’m not crazy! and rainbow colored hair isn't exactly common where i'm from! well if you count the other friend with rainbow hair i have” Said Blaze as he rolled his eyes
“OK you know what i’m just going to roll with it fuck it” thought Blaze
“Sure that’s what everypony says” said Rainbow with a grin
“Ha, ha, ha very funny” said Blaze unamused at the comment
“Anyway Rainbow didn’t you say you had some flying lessons to do?”
“Oh yea well then see ya later then Blaze.” With that she flew off letting a gust of wind trail behind her
“Well I feel odd and annoyed not to mention the fact that she broke the sound barrier in only a second” said Blaze as he stood just staring towards the village below before turning
“So you said you were a sensei. What do you practice?”
“What the hell can something with no hands do exactly?”
“I master the art of combat. Why did you do anything like that where you are from?”
“Yes a bit and still do but now that i’m like this I don’t know how or anything about this place.” Said Blaze
“Really? You can actually fight?!” Thought Blaze as he smirked then Blaze thought and then asked
"can you by any chance teach me?"
"sure and before that do you have any other questions?" asked Desmond
"yea that mark on your sides" said Blaze as he pointed
“This is a cutie mark it symbolizes your special talent. For instance mines a yin-yang symbol for balance and peace. Maybe your talent might show if you train with me but I must warn I won’t go easy.”
“OK that just summed up my time here god I’m ready to go now… please” thought Blaze “Hmm maybe I might learn also how to get back to where I came from?”
“OK then i’m ready when you are.” Blaze responded with some enthusiasm
“Alright then let’s begin…” Desmond said before walking over to Blaze
"Wait now?" asked Blaze with a hint of worry before getting sent flying over the edge "Son of a Biiiiitch!
7 Months later…
It has been a long time since Blaze had come to this world. Throughout his time he has learned not only about the world but has made a best friend and a great teacher. Blaze’s martial arts skills have gone beyond his teacher’s and Rainbow’s expectations.
Even tho he has not gained his cutie mark Blaze continued on with his training not letting that stop him. For he was determined to get it and to find a way home.
As Blaze was busy training on his own Sensei came up and told him this. A saddened look apon his face.
“Blaze I need to go away for some time even tho you have become the best pupil ever I don’t know how long I maybe gone. Even for a long time.”
As he said this Blaze could tell he was very upset about doing this but could not do anything about it. Just as Sensei was about to leave Blaze ran up and stopped him.
“Don’t worry I know for a fact you will return one day until then don’t be worrying about an annoying pony OK Desmond ?” Said Blaze with a reassuring look and held out his hoof to him as they shook.
“Ha fine then ill not worry. Anyway your training is complete though there will be times where you maybe unsure of who you are. Let your friends guide the way for you. You’re the best ive seen in a long time so please continue to teach others not just martial arts but also friendship. Well then Blaze goodbye.”
After that he trotted off down the peak. After that Blaze was getting ready to pack and leave for a home he could find in the village for he had known about the mountain home collapsing cracks along the wall could be seen even from afar. Whilst packing up something came rushing past Blaze almost talking him off the mountain.
“Hehehe sorry about that. I just came to say hi and what are you doing exactly?”
“Alright if I want to get executed ill ask” Thought Blaze with an unamused look “Moving, this place is going to fall apart I have to move.” Said blaze as he pointed a hoof at the large cracks that intercepted around the wall
“But where would you go there’s nowhere for you to go. At least that’s what you told me.”
“Still I have no choice. Either that or become a pancake.”
“Maybe move to Ponyville. I will be moving there when i’m older but you might be able to instead of being on the street.”
“Yea because a kid can get a home at my age” thought Blaze “Hmm maybe. Just need to find a way of getting a home or just a roof over my head. I think that would be a good id…” (KAPOW!!!)
Just as Blaze was about to finish his sentence a large explosion echoed up the mountain shaking the cliff and nothing but explosions and screaming could be heard and the sound of metal clanking and the sound of laughter of a mad man.
“What was that?”
“I don’t know but it came from the village.”
“Well then I’m going to help.”
“No you can’t you could be injured.”
“Danger’s my middle name.”
“NO WAIT!!” Blaze interjected "ok skittles wtf are you thinking?" thought Blaze as he face hoofed
But it was too late Rainbow had already gone to the village, and after grabbing his things he was about to go then before Blaze turned away he hared Rainbow’s voice shouting.
“GET OFF ME YOU CREEP!” Shouted rainbow
“DASH!” Shouted Blaze “That’s it here I come you freak you hurt my friend I’ll make you pay! This is my dumbest idea yet but hell with it!” Thought Blaze as he shook from fear
As Blaze made his way down to the village he ignored the cold air and the occasional bump at the side from the mountain and headed to the ground.
When he got there he was met face to face with…it.
It was a mechanical serpent. At lease 100 feet in length. It had 6 arms 2 were giant blades that gleamed in the night and were as sharp as an archer’s eye. Its face was a like a grinder, spikes covered all around the outside of its gaping maw. I the top of its face was 1 crimson eye that glowed in the darkness and smaller one’s lining down its metal body. The Giant mechanical like worm then shifted towards Blaze then it spoke with a crackling tone.
“So this is what my sensors indicate but really this, this right here is what stands in the way of Mettalix. I could easily crush you without even trying hahahaha!!!” Laughed the huge mechanical serpent
“Let my friend go NOW!!!” shouted Blaze
“Oh i’m screwed” thought Blaze
“So you think you have a chance maggot then come on lets see what you can do. Come get her you bloody worm!”
"You honestly don't know how much i want to bury myself in a cave right now"
“Fine then” “We will see whose left standing after this even tho he is hundred feet high and has the crushing power of a mountain but I’m crazy enough to try” thought Blaze
As Blaze readied into a stance and looked more determined that ever. Even tho he new this would not be easy and his opponent was more powerful than anything Blaze has ever battled with he didn’t care he had to save Rainbow his only friend.
“Let’s Dance!”
As Blaze flew towards Mettalix he threw a dozen punches but nothing worked then a giant sword crashed down apon him sending him flying into a wall with a crack and rubble fell around him. After recovering he flew, dodging missiles but still getting hit as well, but then a missile blew up directly in his face sending scorching pain though his face as it sent Blaze into a daze and just before he recovered from the blast giant hands and blades flew towards him. As Blaze struggled to hold up agenst the massive blade weighing down on him he managed to slip free but not without getting half of Mettalix’s body scrapping up the right side of his body and with that the worm returned into the ground and borrowed back out to the surface with the cracking rock and buildings as he shook the earth beneath him…
After 10 mins a hand smashed Blaze’s small body into the ground. All that was heard was the impact and a giant scream of pain. As Blaze’s metal leg made a slight cracking sound and as he attempted to stand; then Mettalix began to slowly apply his talon like hand apon Blaze as he struggled to keep it from crushing him.
“No not yet you bloody mechanical bastard” Blaze grunted as he struggled to hold the arm back
“I’m… not...Going …to …die.” Gowned Blaze as he struggled to stop the claw as it inched closer and closer.
“This is it I guess it’s over for me, atleast i have no regreats”. Thought Blaze
With a final breath Blaze braced for the impact.
“This is the end for you worm. Now DIE!”
As the hand crush what was left of Blaze all that was hared was.
“BLAZE!!!” Shouted Rainbow looking utterly mortified
"so here we are i'm most likely dead and my body his a flat as my metal limbs and when i said armor i meant whatever protection these useless limbs offered so yea i'm done..."
“Don’t give up and fight or ill kill you; it’s not over” came a voice “stand up.”
“HAHAHAHA the pest crushed under my hand. Now for you, you little pest!?” Said Mettalix before he stopped to look
All attention was brought to Mettalix’s hand as a blue aura was forming around it; it shined as bright as the midnight sky. As Mettalix’s hand lifted.
“It’s not... over... YET!!!” Shouted a voice from under the arm
“WHAT IS THIS…HOW!?” Mettalix shouted in disbelief
As the hand was lifted Blaze stood but something was different. The sides of his legs shone brightly as a sword showed up out of nowhere. He had found his talent.
“Operator command activated. Activate armor enhancement?”
“What the hell. Screw it”
“Ye- yes…activate NOW!”
As soon as the words left his mouth 2 ports opened on his arm and leg then metal started to encase his body as plated armor some parts having faint red glows coming from the cracks, as the armor continued to encased Blaze’s body his stature became more human giving Blaze hands and human like feet. As Blaze’s face was encased and two big eyes glowed a crimson red as Blaze finally spoke his voice a lot more metallic.
“Now feel my wrath you pest!” Said Blaze angrily
Ok that was the worst line I've ever spoken anywho
Instantly Blaze lifted and threw the colossal arm to the side and leaped on it then as he lifted his arm and then the darkness of the night crept away into the shadows as brilliant light sparked in his had and a blade of red and black appeared, glistening in the light it emitted. Looking the same as Blaze’s cutie mark.
“OK this is more like it!” Thought Blaze as he grinned
“Now let the true fight begin.” Said Blaze sounding like his cocky self
Blaze then raised his right hand and plunged the sword into Mettalix’s arm. As Mettalix roared in pain Blaze then began running straight up Mettalix’s arm as he dragged the blade with him. By the time he reached the joint Blaze then swiftly drew the blade out of Mettalix’s arm and completely amputated the arm off of the metal monstrosity’s body. As the arm crashed to the ground with a “thud” blaze then flew over and landed, then turned to face Mettalix as he held the blade to his side.
“Well then Mettalix let’s see what your made of!” shouted Blaze
“YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT. NOW TASTE EVERYTHING IV’E GOT!!!”
Said Mettalix angrily
"really because all i see is something that should be on the end of a fishing hook but nah" mocked Blaze
As they charged at each other a colossal blade came crashing down on Blaze it was blocked by Blaze’s blade. But then Blaze grabbed the blade and pulled with all his might and with the sound of metal bending and wires sparking he ripped the blade straight off Mettalix. As the blade smashed into the ground Blaze then leveled it diagonally towards Mettalix as Blaze than ran up it and flew in a spinning motion and became a moving razor as he sliced through another arm with blinding speed…
Then as both blaze and Mettalix hit, slashed, punched and smashed each other with bruit force the same thing on their minds. “One of us will die here”.
“Yea you show him whose awesome Blaze!” Shouted Rainbow with a grin
LATER…
After what felt like forever Mettalix was left with only 2 arms. One held Rainbow the other severely damaged as it sparked and parts fell out from their once perfect welding place. Even tho Blaze looked like the one who would win even he felt he was beginning to tier.
“No not yet” Thought Blaze as he gowned in pain
Blaze then charged straight at the arm holding RD. as this happened Mettalix swung his arm and clipped Blaze‘s right arm but Blaze managed to cut straight through the arm holding Rainbow. but could not escape the blast of the arm exploding causing the 2 of them to crash into the ground, grinding Blaze’s back into the dirt making a curved marking but he still managed to stop serious injuries to Rainbow.
“Are you OK Dash?” Blaze asked trying to ignore his injuries
“Yes but what about you?”
“I could be doing better and my left leg is still damaged but still I have to finish this.”
“Yep that’s a broken leg ow, ow, ow” thought Blaze as he stared at what still remained of the robotic serpent
As he said this sparks came from several places on his body. But he ignored them and faced Mettalix.
“Now let’s end this”.
“OK kick his flank back to hell.”
“Grr that’s it time for you to burn you pathetic worm!!
Mettalix then began to worm his way through the ground and as his body arched through the area he fired off from his eyes a volley of lasers. His head rested at the end of the carnage as he glared at his prey.
“Alright then bring it!”
“Oh and don’t worry Dash I’ll be fine.” He said trying to sound fine
“Alright um computer?”
“Yes Operator?”
“Target a weak point on Mettalix.”
“Found aim directly on the back of his head. Best course of action is to enter through his mouth.”
“Well that seems totally safe and easy well then here we go!!!
“This is it if I fail- no i won't” thought blaze as he readied to fly
As Blaze flew directly towards the lasers they started to move in random directions.
Blaze then ducked under an arched piece of Mettalix, as he dug his sword into its hide and began spiralling around until he sliced through the eye then jumped out of the way of a volley of lasers as some hit him but did little as Blaze threw his blade into the next eye and shot towards it and began sliding down the length of the machine as he reflected the red beams and continued to move closer to the heart of the machine.
with an ear piercing screech from Mettalix he brought his arm hurling towards Blaze but did little to stop him as he swiftly ducked and jumped towards the mouth of the beast and managed to clog the grinder as Mettalix coughed but soon felt the pain of a thousand needles as Blaze tore through his head and shattered his remaining eye. Blaze then fell off the beast as it crashed to the ground, silencing the world around them.
“It’s… over… computer deactivate armor.” Blaze said faintly
“Acknowledged.”
"see just a walk in the park" laughed Blaze as we dazed around until he felt his strength fade as he fell and soon the world faded to black...
1 Day Later…
The room where Blaze lay was small but a crack of light through a window glared through bringing light to the near empty room. All that laid was a bed, a stool and bedside cabinet. And then the figure under the covers moved.
“Ugh… my head again. “Next time plan things out brain” thought Blaze as he sat up
“Hmm I’m not injured in anyway?” “I guess that armor protected me from major injuries”.
“Well I guess I should go see what the damage is outside.”
When Blaze got outside most of the buildings where intact, besides the ones caught in the crossfire that engulfed around the battle. As well as the body of Mettalix was nowhere to be seen, no parts, no arms or anything as if he was never here.
All of a sudden a group of ponies gathered around Blaze and started to cheer for him. The tone of their voices said that even tho damage was done they where thankful to be alive.
“Thank you so much young one you saved all of us we can’t begin to say how grateful we are”. Said a pony with a smile.
“I can get used to this” thought Blaze as he smiled
“as much as i would love to stay and chat i just need to know where my friend Rainbow Dash is and if there's anyway i could get a train to a village called Ponyville ?”
"she’s over there; she helped clear the roads around the village and thank you" Said the pony with a smile on his face.
“Thanks.”
“Hey Dash!”
Before Blaze could even say his next sentence rainbow swooped in and hugged Blaze before saying anything and then let go.
“OK just knock me out again while you’re at it.” Blaze said with a grin.
“Well still that’s for saving me. And you were so awesome as well as you got your cutie mark!”
As Blaze looked down to his flank he noticed the red and black sword that also matched his real sword strapped around his waist still.
“Well at least it matches my sword” thought Blaze
“Cool, so I guess my talent is with this sword or something?" He said with a small smile.
“But I had no idea about the armor so I guess there’s still secretes to unlock about it?” Said Blaze looking with a questioning look “those idiots didn’t even tell me about the armor” Thought Blaze as his expression tuned into an annoyed look
“Anyway the villagers help me clear the way to the train station as thanks for saving them. They said a train to Ponyville was leaving soon.” Said Rainbow
“Anyway at least we still have a way to get to Ponyville. So then I’ll grab whatever I need and I’ll meet you their OK?” said Blaze "i rather get moving than to stay and ponder on where a 100 feet serpent with terrable threats went" Blaze said with a laugh
“Fine but don’t be late.” Said Rainbow sternly
A While Later…
As blaze showed up at the station he carried a bag on his back containing whatever he owned.
“OK i’m ready to go when you are.”
“Cool let’s hurry on before it leaves.” Dash said as she dragged him towards the platform
"Calm down you know we can fly right?" Blaze asked but got no answer
As the train began to come alive some of the villagers where there telling them that there welcomed back anytime. Blaze and RD thanked them and sat down as the train began to move towards their new destination.
4 Hours Later…
“Where here!” Said Rainbow excitedly
“So this is Ponyville? This looks nice but where would I be living you said you lived somewhere else and I don’t think a young colt such as myself can buy a home. Even with the amount of bits I have.” Even tho Blaze was concerned about where he would live the village itself was lively.
There were ponies everywhere doing what they would normally do throughout their day. Shops and stalls of all colors where busy as ever and the clear sky and warm atmosphere felt like the world Blaze came from, just more happy.
“This is amazing Dash.” As Blaze’s robotic eye scanned the area as they walked through.
“I know, cool place ” She said with a grin.
“Yea sure” said Blaze with a smile
“So here my plan on how you’re going to get a home.” Said RD with a determined tone to her voice.
“You are going to activate your armor and ask to buy this property, that and its the only one in your price range.” She then handed Blaze a piece of parchment that had all the details of the land.
It showed an overhang with archways lining the front and a home built into the cliff. Tho it looked run down the price was low and hardly anyone lived close.
“So how is me showing up in my armor going to help?” Asked Blaze with a confused look.
“Well you are going to look a lot bigger in it and your voice goes robotic so they can’t tell that there’s a small fry under the suit.”
“Good idea and really “small fry”. Said Blaze with an annoyed look
“Right then here goes nothing. Um Computer activate armor?” Blaze asked expecting no answer
“Acknowledged activating armor…” the thing responded
After that the armor enclosed Blaze RD got a good look at the armor. It matched the rest of his actual limbs and had a red glistening core on his chest as well as a head piece that covered everything but his mane.
“Alright let’s go.”
1 Hour Later…
After sorting out and almost scaring off the agent Blaze and RD arrived at the home and began to look around.
“Alright next time activate closer and don’t get caught by paranoid ponies” said Blaze with an unamused look
“It wasn’t that bad” said Rainbow with an annoyed look
“Yes because ponies yelling a screaming *help, help crazy monster on the loose*is not bad” said Blaze looking very unamused
“Well this looks promising. It could use a major clean up tho but on the bright side there’s a shack of sorts built into the wall.” Said Blaze.
“Still it’s a home. Said rainbow positively. Well I have to get going are you sure you will be fine cleaning the place up until I get back tomorrow?”
“Yea I can manage and I do hope to see you soon.” Said Blaze with a smile
“Goodbye Crazy metal pony” said Rainbow
“Goodbye skittles” Said Blaze as he sniggered
Rainbow grew a tiny bit red in the face and flew off. As the beautiful sun began to set over the green hills Blaze said before walking towards his home
“Wait was that? Ugh never mind “note to self stop talking to self” he noted to himself
As Blaze walked over the withered bridge and into the shade of the cliff he sat down and sighed
“How am I going to get home and why was Mettalix randomly attacking a town or was he there for… me?” Said Blaze as he pondered the idea
As the moon rose a crackling fire was glowed in the darkness under a cliff and a small pony sat there staring at the flames as they danced in the air and then back at the black sword with the glowing edge of red near the top and pondered.
“I know a cutie mark represents your talent but why give me sword, why me?” thought Blaze “Grr why so many questions but no answers!” Shouted Blaze before he then talked again this time towards his right arm
"hey um computer thing are you there?" asked Blaze as his eyebrow rose
"yes operator what is it that you require?" said the robotic voice
"why is it that you only began to talk now?" asked Blaze as he began to ponder
"well first i can read your thoughts due to me being physically joined to your occipital lobe which allows me to connect to the rest of your functions including memory, thought and muscle control" responded the computer as through Blaze robotic eye he saw all these targeting symbols and other readings show up
"well that's just weird and stay away from my thoughts when i don't need you thank you" said Blaze as he became more defensive
"also try giving yourself a personality as well as refer to me as Blaze every once in awhile"
"why would i need a personality, i don't have any memories of ever needing this or any memory banks at all" responded the computer
"well then consider this your new life with me; and that is not exactly a peaceful life" said Blaze
“Well then let this be the start of my new life in Ponyville and with an A.I in my head…” said Blaze as he laid down and closed his eyes
And as the glowing fire slowly faded from sight and the night grew; little did Blaze know his life here in Equestria was only just beginning to unravel...
“Well this might just be fun…” said a voice
