Fall of Equestria: Outbreak
Chapter 5: A New Hero?
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIn the dark dungeons of Canterlot Castle, a true goddess of death is squatting on the ground. It is waiting for the right moment, as it has deposited it's deadly seeds some time ago in places across the castle. This beautiful example of how dark evolution can be stands thirty feet tall, and is seventy feet long from it's short but well detailed head down to the tip of it's tail which is sharper than the best of blades... It's the Tarkatan born Xenomorph, and it's grown into a Queen. It's arm-blades have now grown much longer, and it has a second set of arms still with blades on its chest. It's royal crest is shorter than a Xeno Queen's usual crest size, but it's all around larger than a normal Queen. It's teeth have also increased in number and jaggedness, almost making it seem like it's been mutated. On the ceiling above, the Caribou born squats with it's mother... And then the two raise their heads no something unexpected. The skrees of the Tarkatan born's fellow Xenos, all born from the same queen. All of them calling out to the Tarkatan born... The new queen responds.
*RHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
With the queen continuing to call out, it gets up and begins to crawl down the halls of the dungeon to higher levels. The Caribou born jumps from the ceiling to it's queen's back, hitching a ride. It's heavy footsteps are heard by a guard that was sent to check the dungeons for anything suspicious. The queen moves into a hallway large enough for it to stand, and it spots the lone guard. The guard visibly pisses himself, and attempts to run away. The Tarkatan born raises it's deadly tail and swings the tip upwards at the guard, cutting the guard cleanly in half up the middle. It then looks up at the ceiling, and punches through the thick stone where several more Caribou guards are standing, these ones enjoying their newly purchased Mares. The Caribou born jumps through the hole, and slashes its way through the guards and mares. It gives off a short skree, and the Queen bursts from the dungeons to the ground-level of Canterlot Castle, spotting several more Caribou personal across its sight. The Caribou born charges for the guards, both Caribou and Pony, while the Tarkatan born heads for the source of it's fellow hivelings.
Within simple minutes, one thousand Human born Xenomorphs are sweeping over the castle and killing everything they see. Guards, slaves, visitors, important leaders; it doesn't matter to them. The new queen meets up with it's personal army of warriors and drones, and gives off a screech that tells them to secure the City of Canterlot, as well as its citizens. With the order given, every Xenomorph but the Queen head for the city...
Meanwhile in Ponyville, Applejack is tied up in her own barn with her brother sitting on a bale of hay. Big Mac Sid getting his dick hard as he's looking over his naked sister, but he notices her beginning to struggle. Macintosh doesn't know it, but his sister found a strange pod that infused her DNA with Kryptonian DNA. She had the pod hidden around the time that she heard that there was an invasion of Equestria. The pod has a costume on the inside that looks like a superhero's costume, and she's thinking that it's time she tries out her new powers out. She never really did get to try them out, and she admits that being stuck in dark places leaves her feeling drained, but she doesn't feel to bad.
"You ready for another round, sis?" Big Mac asks smugly. His smugness is interrupted by Applejack breaking free from her binds with ease, "What!?"
"Brother, I meant to tell you when I found something in our orchard." Applejack says, crossing her arms as she begins to levitate off the ground, "Then the Caribou removed My freedom, Apple Bloom's freedom, and Granny's freedom. Now, when you bought us, I thought you bought us back... Instead, we became your sex things." Big Mac swings a punch at Applejack, and breaks his fist on AJ's face, "Really, Mac? You'd hurt your own sister? Then again," Applejack punches Big Mac, and he goes flying through the barn door, "You Fuck Your Own Family, You Pervert!" Applejack bursts to Big Mac, picks him up, and readies a fist. She looks at her fist, and puts it down, "I don't have to punch you."
"Applejack, I'm Your Big Brother!" Big Mac pleads.
"Yeah, that means something else to me now." Applejack says before throwing Big Mac beyond her own visible range. With Big Mac gone, AJ flies to where she hid that pod and touches it. The pod opens, and she sees the armored suit that came in the pod when she first opened it. It was touching that suit that triggered her DNA being rewritten, and she only knew this because it told her. It has something of a higher intelligence in it somehow, and it said that donning the suit would make her like somepony named Superman. Only AJ's a pony mare, so it said that she would be named Supermare for gender and species differences. Applejack once again touches the suit, and that same intelligent voice spoke.
"You have returned, Applejack of Ponyville, Equestria." The voice said, "Are you ready to become Supermare?"
"Somethin's going' on in Canterlot," Applejack says,"I can hear ponies screamin'... And I'd like t' stop it and put an end to whatever that black stuff in Canterlot is."
"If I had access to satellites, I would assist you and identify the suspected threat." The voice of the pod says, "But this planet has no such things, thus I will not be able to help you in the way that I would like to. I apologize for not being able to instruct you on your powers and capabilities."
"That's alright, I'm real good at figurin' things out on my own." Applejack says, feeling confident in her words.
"In that case, I shall unlock the suit for you." the voice of the pod says as a force field goes down. Applejack grabs the collar around her neck, pulls it off, and begins to put on the suit. She starts with the armored pants, and moves to the boots. Then she puts on the shirt, places the belt where the shirt meets the pants, and puts on the gloves that finish off the suit, "There is one more piece of the armored suit that I have to make in order for it to better fit with your mane." With that said, a headpiece materializes in front of AJ's eyes. She grabs it, and wraps it around her head. It covers most of her head, leaving only her face and the top of her head exposed. It has a hole in the back where Applejack's long mane is allowed to hang out of. With the armored suit almost complete, Applejack puts on the final part. A large "S" contained in a downward pointing triangle with a cape coming off the top, "That letter upon your chest belongs to the Kryptonian house if El. It is a symbol of hope. So I wish that you use your power for good, and not evil Applejack."
"Believe me, I don't want to Mr..." Applejack says, letting off a pause as she she never got the name of the voice, "Say, what's your name? I don't think you ever told me it."
"I was once known as Brainiac." The pod says, "But then my intellect and consciousness was used to make an artificial intelligence... I actually never did receive a new name, so I believe that I may still be Brainiac. That seems appropriate."
"That sure is a funny name!" Applejack giggles.
"'Brainiac' inspires humor?" the pod asks.
"Well, it does rhyme with 'Maniac'." AJ points out.
"Oh. I never did think about my name with that in mind." The pod says, "I have never had to guess before, but I du believe that this point holds much humor. I shall now develop subroutines that will allow me to feel such a feeling."
"Go ahead and do that, Brainiac." Applejack says with pride, "I'll go save Equestria!"
Applejack bursts away, leaving a sonic boom behind her... And the pod is still thinking about Applejack's point.
"'Brainiac' rhymes with 'Maniac'... What a fascinating coincidence." The pod says as it seals itself.
Applejack, now as Supermare, soars through the sky on her way to Canterlot. She has no idea what all her powers are, but she knows that she can fly faster than Rainbow Dash and she's stronger than Bulk Biceps. Maybe she can fly and punch her way through whatever those black things are. She knows that it's a crowd of something because she can hear the creatures screeching a lot, and she can also hear a bigger screech coming from inside the castle. She'll head there first to investigate...
The boutiques of Canterlot. It used to be home to several exquisite and expensive clothing shoppes, then it became the home of exquisite and expensive sex and slave stores, now it's all being being infested by hundreds of horrible creatures that killing and kidnapping anything. It has been an hour since the Xenomorphs begun their attack on Canterlot, and they have already begun to expand their hive throughout the castle. They have one of everything, thanks to the Caribou slave economy.
bur as of now, the streets of the exquisite and expensive boutiques have been cleared out by a blue and red streak. The crowd looks over to the sky to see hundreds of black objects sailing over Canterlot Mountain, then to the blue and red suited figure in the sky.
"Is that a ballon?"
"No, it's a Pegasus! It's gotta be, what else can fly?"
A caribou guard pulls out his telescope, and looks right at the figure.
"No, it's an earth pony mare... But she can still fly, and she's wearing a blue suit with a red cape!"
"Hey Miss, Who Are You!?"
The figure floats down to the crowd with crossed arms.
"Hi, I'm A-uh..." Applejack rethinks what to say, "I mean, Hello there! Don't be in fear, Supermare is here!"
With that, Supermare soars straight to Canterlot Castle... She's quickly smacked away by a large black arm, and is slammed into the side of Canterlot Mountain. Supermare finds here completely unharmed, and is fascinated by her discovery.
"That thing smacked me into solid rock, and I didn't feel a thing. I think I can handle thi-" The Xenos that Supermare threw over the mountain all swarm over her in an attempt to capture her. Supermare struggles to get free, and her eyes begin to glow red, "LET GO OF ME!!!" Supermare yells as she frees herself and blasts the swarm of Xenos with new heat beams that are being fired from her eyes. She's surprised that she has such a power, but she's too angered by the bugs to care about that fact. All she knows is that she can blast those things back to whatever Hell they came from. Supermare turns her attention to the Xenomorph queen, and blasts her beam right at it. the queen jumps out of the way, and returns to the dungeon from which it came from earlier.
Supermare follows the queen, and is once again smacked awkwardly by it. She's then once again swarmed by the Xenomorphs, all of them clawing away at Supermare until her new armored suit is ruined by claw marks everywhere. Supermare breaks free once more, but is swarmed by hundreds of Xenos, as the whole hive has focused it's attention at the hero. Overwhelmed, Supermare blasts off a massive charge of her heat beam that leaves her feeling weak in the darkness of the dungeons as she's once again swarmed by the bugs.
For how long they've been swarming the hero, it is not known. All Applejack knows is that she's more tired than she's ever been in her life. Eventually, the creatures all stop and crawl away at the presence... Of a white skinned creature that looks nothing like the black creatures. It slowly crawls it's way to the tired mare until it's near Applejack's face.
"W-what are you?" Applejack asks, to tired to fight back or move. The white skinned creature wraps itself around Applejack's face, and she quickly falls unconscious. Two nearby Xenos grab the newly captured hero, and drag her down to a deeper and darker pit than the dungeon...
Next Chapter: Dainn's Fall Estimated time remaining: 37 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
This one is rather short, but I didn't feel like it needed anymore. Also, if you're facing a hard time imagining the specific costume that AJ's wearing, here's Superman wearing it.
