The Beginning of the End

Omega, 2184 CE, Two years before Reaper Invasion

Omega, is described as 'the Terminus Systems' dark, twisted counterpart to the Citadel.' It is a huge mining station built from the remains of a massive, irregularly shaped asteroid with twisting streets populated with homes, shops and warehouses. Omega's inhabitants are usually lawless. Territory is controlled by the strongest faction in that area and frequently changes hands, often after brutal violence. The station's current "de facto" ruler is Aria T'Loak. As of 2185, Omega has a population of 7.8 million people, composed of various different species some of them I liked more than others. The station's major exports are element zero, illegal arms, drugs, and slaves if available, mostly illegal arms and drugs by all the hacked communication hubs I 'acquired' during my stay..

To me it was one large ass shit-hole that needed to have a grenade shoved inside of it and to have someone on the other end to watch it all explode, that and it was also my home away from home. Omega had everything for me to be offered, legal and illegal drugs whether it strikes my fancy, illegal arms that were better than standard-issue arms, weapon mods which always came handy when I wanted to get rid of some merc that gives me the occasional problem, and of course the random task that helps pay the rent since the Alliance doesn't bother to send me the credits to my temporary home, lazy bastards if you asked me.

Upon walking back to my home I noticed a great deal of things that was wrong about it and by wrong I mean there are no dead bodies by it, it looks like it was cleaned up while I was out sharing a beer with my employer, one Aria T'Loak, and also that my doorway to my home was guarded by two humans clad in heavy armor, both carrying M-8 Avenger Assault Rifles, on their armor was the symbol for Earth Systems Alliance, that gave me one thought.

'Oh shit they found me here...okay ummm....erm... okay Plan B!'.

But unfortunately Plan B was none other than just see what they want from me and hope for the best, and in my case being told to go into my house and sit down on the broken sofa, which I did before flipping both soldiers off with my signature one-finger salute to them. Never liked Alliance soldiers never will, unless they are just like me and just want the next paycheck to blow it all on booze, dancers and better weapon mods.

"Lt. Commander Roran 'Telendis' Zidane, we have been expecting you." came the familiar voice from within the room, a voice that I only knew as my old link to the past, Admiral Steven Hacket.

"Oh for fucks sakes..."

Celestia’s sun was shining brightly on Ponyville that beautiful summer morning. There was naught a cloud in the sky for as far as the eye could see leaving a veritable sea of blue over everypony’s head. A large column of smoke rose up from the Everfree forest, probably as a result of a fire; although it had been an uncharacteristically wet summer so there was no worry that it might spread towards the village. In truth, the light scent of sulfur it left was actually quite pleasant. It smelled like a fireplace during autumn or that of smoked mahogany and best of all, it did nothing to taint the freshness of the air. Off towards the rolling hills that lay east of the town there rose a stunning rainbow fresh out of the weather factories at Cloudsdale.

It was a perfect summer’s day, a day for one thing. Reading.

Just as the sun started to rise over the horizon everypony was moving about their regular business, ponies strolling around town talking to each other, many fillies and colts running around the village park as they enjoyed the cool air and the warmth of the sun as they played games with one another. As the ponies in Ponyville began their day and moved about to tend to their business and other daily habits, one such pony was Applejack as she happily went to her food stand in the marketplace. As she was going to her stand behind her was her older brother Big Macintosh, carting behind him a wagon filled with baskets filled to the prim of apples, both ponies on their way towards the marketplace to sell the apple produce along with other apple related products such as apple tarts, tatters, caramel apples and lastly, apple pie.

As the two went off towards the market, a lavender mare was in the library that was carved out of a tree and served as the only library in the village, the mare known as Twilight Sparkle was busy going face first into a new book that has arrived recently to her humble abode earlier that week all the way from Canterlot on her request. As the lavender mare was enjoying her new book, one titled "Ghosts of the Past" which she grew a deep interest in, the book held within its leather bound pages the ghosts of previous empires and kingdoms before the two royal sisters took over the continent of Equestria. During her time of reading the nearly ancient old tome, her number one assistant Spike was busy cleaning up after the bookworm's early minute rise to start reading the tome and other books relative to it, which in turn left a fairly large pile of books in the middle of the library's main hall.

Over the houses of Ponyville a rainbow blur was zipping around the skies colliding into soft puffy white clouds dispersing them into smaller puffs before fading away into the atmosphere, the rainbow blur itself was moving in an erratic fashion that eventually stopped on the last white cloud in the sky before doing a somersault and landing gently onto said cloud with a barely audio-able poof. Flying from cloud to cloud can be exhausting work but for one athletic mare it was no problem, the cyan pegasus with the prismatic mane was known as Rainbow Dash, always calling herself a 'future wonderbolt', a dream that she has been trying to achieve for many years even when she was a little filly, and at each chance she got to woo and impress them, they weren't paying attention when the tricks happened. Not knowing that one of her fans was watching her she decided to take a nap on the cloud she was laying face first on and was no doubt off in dreamland, dreaming about flying with the wonderbolts while wearing her own uniform.

As Rainbow Dash was sleeping on her cloud, Twilight Sparkle reading an ancient tome, and Applejack selling apples and apple products at the market, a gingerbread house shaped building was in full swing of its business as ponies left and right entered and left satisfied with their order of sweets of all shapes and sizes. Behind the counter of the sweet store was two earth ponies Mr. and Mrs. Cake, while behind them was the kitchen were a single pink party mare with an ungodly sign of bedhead was busy baking, frosting and moving the sweets from the counter, the oven and the trays about in a chaotic fashion that it was a wonder that nothing was burnt, over-frosted, or even squished with all the movement taken place.

On the other side of Ponyville was a large building that looked different from the rest, a sign outside of the building read "Carousel Boutique" and inside was a store filled with ponykins covered in unique and awe-inspiring dresses and clothes that were gem-studded and made of exquisite materials. In the backroom of the boutique was a ivory white mare known as Rarity, was busy at a sewing machine creating yet another work of art made of fabrics and gems in which will make the pony who made the order be in awe and come back soon for another order of yet another exotic dress. Laying down near the ivory seamstress was a white Persian cat known only as Opalesence who was busy sleeping on a roll of spider silk and was happily dreaming of herself chasing after a mouse who has wandered to close to the kitty while eating her daily breakfast. Behind the two in the 'idea room' was a smaller white unicorn with a lilac mane who was in the kitchen having her hoof at cooking in which she somehow magically burned pudding. No questions asked.

And Lastly over at the edge of the Everfree Forest lies a little cottage surrounded by small hoof-crafted homes for the woodland critters that occasionally visit the yellow pegasus with the pink mane, as shy as she is she always manages to tend to the critters that visit the cottage varying from the small birds and ducks to the otters, bears and occasional wolf that comes by to visit. As shy as she may be Fluttershy when it comes to other ponies the one thing she was never nervous about was tending to the animals that was under her care, except for the manticore that tried to eat her and her friends in the Everfree Forest two and a half years ago. As she glided about her home a small white bunny was sleeping inside a dog house...bunny house with half-eaten carrot next to pillow it was laying on.

As the sun hits mid-day all the way in Canterlot in the palace, Princess Celestia was busy talking to a group of excavators who found an underground ruins which once belonged to a long gone race in which of the likes that have never seen before, and amongst the ruins are nothing but powdered bones, shreds of fabric that disintegrated upon contact, and crumbled buildings. The group came to ask for a way and a means to get assistant in the excavation project to unearth the species that had previously lived there before their untimely demise, and with her blessing they left back to the dig-site in the deepest parts of the Everfree Forest, near the lair of the Diamond Dogs, but ever since the digging crew came by in force with royal guards the dogs left the site alone for them, but to their dismay taking almost everything of value such as gems or shiny objects.

"So...Daring Doo...where did you say these ancient ruins are again? Cause by the details you gave us and the princess you said it was at least two days walk to the new dig-site and that it was still filled with relics of a past civilization. I can only hope that you are not lying and have taken the relics for yourself because if these relics are indeed of a past civilization than that means whoever was before us must have met a fate that they did not want. And if we can find out how to avoid this fate then we can spare Equestria from whatever cataclysmic event that took them." said the head excavator Dusty Spades, an old colt with a mute brown coat, grey/blue mane with a magnifying glass crossing a dusting brush.

"Yea Dusty, these ancient ruins I found are here, only problem was getting past those dogs and getting back out without getting caught was a challenge, but getting out with some proof that these relics existed was even more of a challenge." she said while pulling out an odd looking device, at first it looked like a metallic rectangle with glowing blue lights with faded red paint on it, but as soon as she clicked a small button on the side with her tongue, it started to expand outward until it became a strange device that resembled the gryphons talon-held crossbows but without the bow.

"See? This always happens when I click the tiny button on the side, and I don't know what it is supposed to do but I think it is some sort of weapon or something, but whatever it is I think it is important." Daring Doo clicks the small button again as it folds upon itself back into its original rectangular shape as she puts it back into her saddle bags and continues to walk down the path that is now being illuminated by solar crystals implanted into the cavern walls, and at each interval of 20 crystals was a posting of two royal guards.

"Alright...but whatever it is that you are holding in those saddle-bags of yours is important to that species and if that was some sort of sacred relic and if that thing releases some curse of sorts than we better put it back where it was. And for Celestia's sakes I just hope that those dogs didn't take any relics or else I am going to be a very...very angry old stallion...please let those relics be safe." said the old stallion before going into a coughing fit and regaining his senses, until both him and Daring Doo step onto an already crumbling rocky floor, their combined weight causing it to collapse beneath them, sending both down into the depths of the caverns until both land in a heap of limbs, rocks and dust.

As soon as both wake up from their little concussion induced sleep, they both looked around the chamber they have fallen into, and both of their jaws have dropped immediately upon what they have found, an entire street filled with buildings that have barely seen the signs of the time and aging, still in the same condition that have left them in when it fell into the earth when the ground beneath them caved in under the combined weight of the above. What they saw was enough to thank Celestia for everything she has ever done for them and everyone else.

"Wow...this...this is...amazing...I never knew such a place can exist underground and not show any sign of aging! These buildings must have been enchanted with a preservation spell to keep it in from falling apart, I wonder how tall these beings were and how they communicated, I bet they were majestic and even have had the power to move the sun and moon themselves!" Dusty said while slowly moving about the ruined streets, looking at with awe and almost envy since it was orderly but at the same time a mess since it was cracked and damaged beyond repair.

"Dusty Spades, do you know where we are cause I have no clue on where this place is and by the look in the ceiling where we fell in...it looks like a good drop and my wings are kinda injured so yea....we are stuck down here until help arrives and we have no idea on how to get back up besides flying...so any ideas besides exploring this area?" said Daring while checking her wings for damage, which their was small signs of damage and a most of her feathers were ruffled up and bent meaning flying was going to be a challenge.

Ignoring her little talk while marveling the buildings that have evaded time and managed to remain solid until now was an understatement on how he actually felt, in reality this was his dream come true and that he was living it to the fullest.

As he looked around he noticed that their was eight buildings around him, four on his left and four on his right, and each building was different and had each a different model and layout, but within each building was the same thing. Each and every single building had piles of powdered bones, shredded clothing, piles of ashes, different rectangular shapes of metal with glowing lines, and whatever the building was offering at the time of its annihilation.

"Relics of the past...if only they were still alive...what could they have accomplished...what would they do if they have met us....would we have been friends or would we have been foes....we would never kn-" Dusty's monologue was interrupted by the sounds of somepony gasping loud enough for him to snap out of his daydream.

Turning around and trotting slowly to where Daring was, he too gasped in shock, for what was before the two was none other than a statue of a large bipedal creature that was appeared to have been covered head-to-toe in armor, in its right arm was a very large device that appeared to have been some sort of miniature Scorpio ballista while in its left arm was a strange octagon rounded shaped object, the statue itself was wearing a cloak covering its head along with most of its body. The statue appeared to have been doing some sort of rallying cry and by the looks of its body it must have been leading the charge against an enemy that have invaded their home .This tall statue was easily towering both ponies by an easy four feet as the ponies themselves were only three feet tall except for Dusty who was only half foot tall because of his horn.

"Dusty....is this one of the beings that owns this cavern?" she said while looking at the large statue in awe, never before seeing a creature as this before even though she has traveled all over Equestria and beyond its borders to neighboring nations in search of relics and treasure, but this colossal creature was something she has never before seen, right next to the Titan Spider that nearly ate her when she traveled to the Marshes of the Damned in the Southern Rainforests.

"No Daring...by how large it is and what it is wearing and holding...this must have rather been a soldier of some kind or maybe an invader of another country coming to take over....we will never know unless we can find clues of these beings past...we will have to piece it together bit by bit...if we can find out about them." said Dusty as he slowly approached the statue he scanned it over with his magic, trying to sense anything about its age, condition, and most importantly if it is damaged and in hopes of repairing it so that it can be later placed in a museum or in the Canterlot Royal Gardens.

While the two were admiring the statue, neither of them were away that the statue itself was aware of their presence and was waiting for the perfect time to make its move.

"I swear to the gods above and below Discord that if you keep fucking me with like that I am going to rip that snaggletooth out of your head, shape it into a guitar pick and play you the song of my people. And also why the hell are you making it rain chocolate milk inside my head! I hate chocolate milk almost as much as I hate you so get the fuck out of here before I decide to shove this large chunk of coal so far up your ass you will be coughing up diamonds." I said in pure anger and rage at the spirit of chaos and disharmony.

"But my dear friend Roran, what will you do without me? Go insane and be all alone for the next, what was it now nearly a billion years as a statue? You sir impress me to no end for I would have gone sane if I was trapped for that long all by myself."

"How fucking long were you stuck as a bloody statue Discord, four thousand years? Two thousand? For I have already broke your record of being a statue and will forever be the bearer of 'Worlds Longest Stoned Being' in which I will gladly wear that title like it was a badge of honor, hell if you knew what else being stoned means than you too would wear it like a badge." I said while creating a fake badge that reads out 'Stoner Champion of All Time' with a big pot plant in the background, and just for added laughs I stitch the pin into my left lapel of my armor for which I know if I ever get out will never appear in that place.

"Well anyways Roran as long as we are statue-buddies I do have a few things to say, such as that being a statue isn't so bad, I mean come now we are now immortal, never need to eat or breath, everypony visits us on a regular basis and we are always taken care of, I mean look at the old gryphon king that got turned to stone by his own pet basilisk." Discord said while pointing at a fairly large burly gryphon that was wearing an eye-patch over his left eye and was wearing tattered royal robes, feathers were rich-brown color with red edges. For me I just thought I was going insane after dealing with Discord for to long but I later realized that my sanity went out the fucking window when I started talking to him.

"Aye Roran lad, it is not so bad bein' a statue and all that, sure I can never get a harem or somethin' similar but who needs aging right? I'm mean sure we can outlive everything as long as we are stone but what is the fun in being alive, sure no more good strong ale to get us shitfaced or food so rich in flavor that we would want more but who would want that?"

"I swear when this is over...I am tossing both of your statues into a swamp..." I growled at them since their voices are starting to sound like nails on a blackboard or even metal forks on a plate, my pet peeves right next to someone leaving the milk open and letting it turn to pudding, someone forgetting to close the fridge door, or my favorite, someone eating the last of the meatloaf and leaving the container inside the fridge for me to find the next day.

"Oh Roran you should know by now that you can't throw us into a lake, first off is that you are a statue, second off is by that you look, you couldn't even handle a shot of raspberry schnapps let alone a statue of our size, and lastly, because if you did than you would be destroying Royal Canterlot property, and you would not last in the dungeons."

"Bite my shiny metallic ass Discord I can easily throw both your statues into a swamp and still have energy to pull both of you back out, just to throw you back in and laugh in the process." I said while laughing my ass off due to the fact that I was talking to a spirit while I am a statue and that he was my only company besides the random statues and spirits that float by in this purgatory of sorts.

"Ya know lad you should calm down and take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the endless halls and blankness. Also lad you should enjoy this while it lasts cause sooner or later that statue of yours will eventually crack up and fall apart, and ya will finally be free of this Celestia forsaken place." said the old Gryphon while stroking his beard fluff, seemingly acting like a pirate king of old...I swear if he was a pirate than if we ever meet when we are alive than imma just straight up plaster him all over the walls.

"I have a quick question Discord...if we are statues can we still feel something moving us like a lifter or some other form of transportation?" I said while feeling a bit wobbly.

"Yea we can why? You feel like something is moving your metallic body?" Discord said while drinking a glass of chocolate milk, and by drinking I mean leaving the milk behind and drinking down the glass itself...not sure how he defied the laws of the universe but that was awesome.

"Oh well than it seems I am being moved, I just hope it is next to you two and not some museum of sorts, cause if I am placed into one than I am going to scream so loud for days on end that if someone outside hears me and trails it back to me than I will clearly go insane and blow myself the fuck up."

"Oh my Celestia...Daring...you..will never believe this...." said Dusty, his voice shaking from shock of what he has discovered while slowly trying to levitate the statue from the cold concrete floor to the waiting cargo lift that was hastily erected while they were scanning the statue for information. Only to find out that their was a faint trace of unknown energy in it and that it has a faint trace of life in it.

"What you find Dusty, is it alive or something cause if it is than we just found possibly the biggest find in Equestrian history!" she said while flapping her weak wings in the air, still not fully recovered from the fall earlier that day. Still looking at the statue as it was slowly lifted into the air only for it to fall back down after a strange burst of energy was emitted by the statue forcing it back down.

"Daring...this statue is still alive I think...I sensed a very faint trace of life essence in it...and some sort of other energy as well...maybe its own magical aura or something...but whatever it is we must get it back to Canterlot...maybe it will even be placed in the Royal Gardens...or even be released back into the world...we will never know." he said while trying to gently levitate it to the lift, and with each attempt he keeps failing to keep it steady as it hits the hard stone floor, causing a loud thud to echo throughout the caverns, and in the deepest part an ear piercing shriek that causes him and Daring to stop whatever they were doing and look in the general direction of the noise.

Slowly walking towards them from the shadows of the cavern was a tall pale white abomination of nature, its limbs are long and pale, twisted and gnarled, small holes cover parts of its body, blue glowing lights twinkle in the darkness, its head had tentacles coming out the back and pointing upwards as three of them were darker and looked more like bone than flesh. To the ponies it was nothing more than an abomination but to the statue it was something to fear on the battlefield of its past. Its left arm was missing at the elbow and it was slowly shuffling towards them as one of its legs was damaged beyond repair and was being dragged behind, its own head was partially melted off.

"Daring quickly go get the guards and bring them here now! I will try to fend this beast off until you get back here, and don't even worry about me I can still handle myself in a fight. So go! Now!"

As Daring Doo went onto the lift and was slowly being lifted back up she saw Dusty launch a small bolt of lightning at the beast only for it to create a barrier of sorts to nullify it and prevent any damage from being done to itself. Dusty was shocked to find its attack to be reflected as he started flinging rocks of any size at the beast to have it only to be disintegrated by its barrier, the face on the beast twisted into a demented smile as it slowly shuffled closer to Dusty, hoping to claim its prize and than kill it with its own claws.

In my eyes as the statue I could only think of one thing.

'Oh my gods these ponies are doomed...well at least I had a good life....a very long extended life...'

In a fit of fear for his own life, Dusty quickly turned around and galloped as fast as his old legs could take him to the nearest building and trying to hide within its walls for safety, barricading the doors with many shelves filled with old cobwebs and dust. And for thirty minutes Dusty sat their hiding in a box quietly whimpering for his life as the beast started clawing its way into the store, scraping away at the reinforced glass with dull claws in attempts to claim its meal.

"Get away from my friend you monster!" screamed Daring as herself and a small garrison of twenty guards coming down the lift as it turned its head to face the new force as I was busy laughing at their futile attempt to kill the one of the scariest things to face on the battlefields of old.

As the new force came down to the floor the Banshee was already halfway near them and as it was surrounded it let out another ear-piercing shriek forcing everyone around it to fall down and cover their ears, half the guards already dropped their weapons as their ears started bleeding from the shriek, the other half are in a daze, the Banshee on the other hand was grinning evilly as it slowly advanced towards the one that spoke against it. Daring Doo.

Within a matter of seconds Daring was lifted off the ground by the Banshee's only hand and out of instinct it tries to shove its other arm into her only for Daring to be poked in the gut by the stump of its left arm, not even a bone was at the stump only a blob of flesh and wires. In disappointment it decided to toss Daring into the wall as it started to slash and kick the guards around in a savage fashion only to have its weak leg to be cut off from its body, the Banshee emitting a strange aura as it tries to deflect the other attacks from the sword and spear wielding ponies, only to have its barrier slowly broken down as it fails it collapses upon itself to have it stabbed to death by blade and spearhead. As it died in lets out another shriek but slightly weaker and its body disintegrated into ashes in front of the eyes of the guards and Daring.

'Hmm...these ponies might survive after all...against husks maybe...eh hope is still lost...'

"Quickly get that statue onto that lift and get Mr. Spades out of that shop so we can get the buck out of this place alive." she said while staring at the statue and the pile of ashes, trying to figure out what exactly the two are and if they are related in some way or fashion.

"Yes ma'am." replied the guards, trying to look like the fight didn't phase them but most of them are still shaking from the battle, even more shaking from the harsh shrieks it was letting out when it was fighting.

As they were digging the pony out from the shop, the statue was lifted onto the platform along with every guard and pony present, only to be lifted out of the cavern to the safety of the stone halls above, and as quickly as they got up they all immediately vacated the caves and got into the many carriages that was left outside, the pegasi hitched themselves and quickly went airborne with my statue in tow. From my point of view it was nothing but starry night skies, midnight blue clouds, even a shooting star here and there, but from within my statue it was more like this.

'I believe I can fly! I believe I can touch the sky! I believe I can....the fuck am I even singing in the first place?'

During my time on top of the lead carriage I realized that not once have I heard the sounds of a Kodiak shuttle flying around or the sounds of a Harvester flapping its wings to chase after said shuttle, only the quiet noise of the night sky and the slight flapping noise of the pegasi pulling my heavy stone ass. Needless to say my senselessly eternal life might be drawing to an end in which I get accidentally dropped or some idiot of these ponies accidentally kicks be hard enough that I explode into a shower of well..me everywhere. To my luck it did not happen...yet.

"So...you found a new part of the caverns...discovered the remains of an ancient civilization, recovered an ancient statue of their culture, found out it has...life and magic in it, and killed a monster that was still alive that was part of its time. I do say that this might be the greatest discovery in Equestria's history, and tomorrow during the Gala you two will be announced as the founders of this new race and culture, and if we are lucky...we can discover any memories that might linger inside this...statue." Princess Luna said while inspecting the statue of me while talking to Daring Doo and Dusty Spades, me on the other hand was busy staring at the fireplace as the flames flickered and cracked, the sounds of the flame was enough to bring back memories I rather keep repressed and locked away.

While Luna was inspecting me she found a small ammo box that was strapped to my side that was easily removed from its hooked position. Upon removing it she found that written on the sides was something she did not understand, but to me it clearly reads out 'Box o' Fucks' and of course inside said box was empty to those that only saw the black mesh, but under that mesh was something that I am keeping secret and to my luck neither the princess or the other two found out it was all an illusion.

"Please take the statue to the gardens and place it upon the new pedestal facing the ballroom, hopefully this new statue will cause everypony to wonder what it is and also help fund the excavation team to continue digging out the caverns in hopes of finding more of these...creatures."

'Oh gods just fucking kill me already...I swear if I have to deal with such primitives than I am jumping off the nearest cliff to...oh wait...I forgot...armor lock...crap...'

With that the two left while Luna was looking at me the statue with an inquisitive stare that was equal to the same stare I give to someone that was about to give me a new rifle or my favorite, a Kitkat bar still not melted or crushed. During our little stare off if you can call it that I simply looked around the room while somewhat keeping a few glances at her to ensure that she doesn't try anything funny...who am I kidding I can't stop shit while I am like this.

After being placed in the gardens by a pair of unicorns I started to think about my future as a garden statue and my options of escaping are still non-existent and my company now changed from living meat bags to four statues who all seem to have shared the same fate as me, being turned to stone.

"Well Roran welcome to the club of the living statues, you are now clearly member number five which means you win this hat!" Discord says while snapping his fingers as a pimp hat appears on top my head in which I take it off and throw it back at him like a disc.

"Shut it Discord not in the mood...I just saw something from my past get taken out by a bunch of ponies with swords and spears...how do you think that makes me feel?" I growled at him again, already hating the fact that I am literally placed near him and if I turn my eyes a bit I can easily see him, so saying that I can ignore him is in understatement.

"Tsk tsk tsk Roran what I told you about your attitude and manners. Just because you are older than me and everything else in Equestria doesn't mean you can just act like me, we both know their is only room for one chaotic being.

"Oh gods please get me the fuck out of here before I go insane..." I said while grabbing my metaphorical real head while screaming out loud hoping to whatever heavens exist to get me out of this hell hole before I decide to turn my armor's reactor core into a small bomb to blow my self up and everything close by into a smoking crater of glass.

As Discord and I were having a mental verbal debate about what we should do and some other crap, Princess Luna was busy watching the two statues slightly turn to look at each other, which amazed her since she rarely goes outside to the gardens let alone see the statues themselves twist on their pedestals long enough for them to move on their own free will. Which was odd since statues weren't alive let alone have free will.

'Oh gods old and new, above and below, just let me get the hell out of here...I will do anything to get my freedom...'

'ANYTHING!'
