Electron flickers blue again, and she retreats the blade, moving back into the shadows.
grenade launcher! Your an idiot, you know that?
The changed had overcalculated and had shut down, giving the pony some freedom.
"I'll need help. God, everyone is going to kill me"
She was mostly just an Organic with plating on and a device that could change her brainwaves. She wasn't much, but definitely was one in a million. The other Changed walked around with no traces of their prior existence. They were gone; dull, emotionless.
She puts the blade back into its holder, and walks forward, following the two, in the Twilight shadows.
((Guys. At some point we gotta meet up and get out and rest. It's nearly nighttime, not day))

He trotted out of the alley "strips out the brains, replaces them, removes hair, adds metal plating bolted into bones. Shuddering thoughts"

Adrian put his hoof to her mouth
"Just taking a look. You never know when something might happen. The next cannon's not that far anyway"
Monroe nodded "Well, yeah. all the time"

Clockwork crept through the ruins of a building. He left Weaver with the cloak while she regains her strength.
Behind him, his new weapon gleamed a blue light.
A group of three Changed walked down the street, the leader stopping suddenly. 'Biological Signature Detected-'
And that was as far as it got before it was sliced in half by a glowing blue thread encased in orange magic.
The rest of the squad had a similar experience.
---------------------------------------------
Weaver looked up as Clockwork opened up the door, behind him bits and pieces of the changed levitated.
"How was it?" she asked.
"The Sharpness Enchantment combined with Durability is excellent, Especially with Thaumatic Thread" He responded, placing the parts on the ground.
"Are the Enchantments gone?" Weaver asked.
"Almost, Not enough to maintain a charge to take out four of these robots"
"So what are these monsters made of Dear?"
"Steel, Iron and Aluminum so far, my Sweet"
"Aluminum?" Weaver stated, smiling.
"Yeah, we could take them out with so some Acid." Clockwork said, smiling. "Managed to take out three, so we should be able to create something magical."
"A Thaumatic Generator?" Weaver asked.
"Yeah, small scale unfortunately, considering how much material we have." Clockwork said, levitating several of the parts into the center of the room "We can make the Energization vat out of the Steel, and charge the aluminum with magic to break it down. "Once we have the Thaumatic Aluminum we can bind it to something."
"Such as? We would need a crystalline structure for that, Clockwork" Weaver stated, raising an eyebrow. ((figuratively))
Silicon, I can use Molecular Telekinesis to form it into a crystal like shape, Thaum Batteries, in a sense."
Weaver frowned. "Clockwork, that will take a week to generate a decent structure, and it will drain you of energy."
Clockwork grinned "Hey, I promised you, We'll get Rags back."

Attempting to stand up, the pegasus poked a hoof into the ground, before wincing again. He handed the device back, sighing.
"I'm no good to you all like this. Take Muffins and go. He knows what to do."
It would mean he was going to die, but if it meant Muffins was able to turn the tide...
"If he hasn't killed you yet it means you can use the sawblade better than most. You should be safe. Go, before night falls."

((Wha? Y u try to keel urself?))
"No, your like, the ((3rd)) second pony I met here so far. I can't let you go to waste yet." She sighs.
"Oh, to answer your question, I have no idea. Haven't been here before or anything. Not sure"
She looks over to Ella. "Do you know where?"
fricking die? The buck do you want? Me to stab you and leave you here? Just ask. It's better than being Changed.

..
yeah, nope. she thinks, brushing off the urge to bounce out of the shadows.
She takes a deep breath, and puts on a fake limp and in-pain act, slowly limping towards the group, her lights dimmed so they were unnoticeable, yet again. "H-help me.. Please.." She wheezes, pleading.
All of this was just an act.
But there was a pain in her.
Her heart breaking. She knew she wouldn't survive in this state for too long; and there's no telling if the Changed was going to pounce attack.
((The changed do not have their brains replaced. Only full cyber ponies. Instead, it's wiring that controls the brain through signals, then after the stage electron is at, it actually starts to take over the flesh, starting to replace the organic parts. Since its magic that they use, they are actually replaced without pain over time with normal robot stuff. Nothing is realy drilled or put on, and the big spoiler for the reason of this comes at the end of the RP. You might figure it out/ be told over time, but think 'reverse'.))
((You can avoid it if you have a strong enough will to live. Like Electron. You can refer to them as StrongHearts.. I guess))
((I'm creating some vectors of the stages now. Also, it's noticible to see a StrongHeart, as they act exactly like a normal pony, yet with enhanced abilities, and metal plating.))

((izzy, to monroe, there is no difference between cyberponies and changed, they're both pony shaped robotic abominations))
((also james you posted at 1:38 am in my timezone it would be hard to reply.))
"Not too far. I hope you don't mind loud noises" Monroe replied, sidling past a wall and climbing over a metal fence.
He'd gone down these routes hundreds of times, even before the attacks. His job did a good job of making him fit, at the very least. He thought about the times where he was paid to beat up people like james and send them to the nearest station. He kind of missed those days.

Orbit staggered to his hooves, wincing. "Tell me,then. What use am I to you like this?"
He gestured to Muffins. "I can't wield him anymore, not with this cut, nor can I walk without slowing you down. Flying will just make all of you a target for the cannons, of which there are at least 25, not counting the one that was destroyed."
He sighed, turning to glance behind him. Muffins chirped.
"What can I add to your group besides the parasprite?"
((If you do leave him behind, I'll continue from Muffins point of view.))
#220
Posted 02 February 2014 - 02:57 PM
He silently fluttered down behind it, and pulled out a revolver
"explain yourself." he questioned, pointing the gun at the changed's head. He was a safe distance if it was to try anything.

Dizzied by the nauseous fumes originating from the sewage at her feet, Fleetfire swayed uncertainly. Eventually her vision was restored and the nausea that had threatened to throw her off balance disappeared. "I'm gonna puke," she murmured inaudibly, before pushing Storm aside and crawling out of the sewers as her limbs shook in sickening spasms. As soon as she was free from the suffocating depths of the pony-hole, her stomach released its contents, which mostly consisted of water. Groaning, Fleetfire wiped her mouth and attempted standing, but for some reason her limbs would not obey. She sank shakily to the cold concrete floor and gasped in pain. During the time from when she entered the pony-hole to the moment she had retreated back out, her mock-bandages had broken and blood was running thick and fast from her wounds. Fleetfire's eyes went wide, but only for a brief moment. As her head rested on the ground, Fleetfire felt the warmth of her own blood pool around her, staining her cheek crimson. She felt an extraordinary peace envelop her. As her vision dimmed, Fleetfire looked into the sky and smiled. The sun had broken through the rain and a rainbow spanned the heights of Manehattan. Indeed it was beautiful to behold.

((In short, any injuries to a Changed (otherwise known as a cybermat) is automatically healed, but the wounds grow back into robotic parts.))
((So that means if anyone does follow through in dying, you can choose to become a Changed to live, without pain, but no one will accept you anymore. You are in a ghost-like state nearly.))
She lifts her leg to herself more, thinking about this choice.
"How would you like it if I tore your almost identical organic legs off from the rest of your body? If you didn't realise, I'm still 95% organic.. It's just brain signals that are interfered with, to make us brainless zombie husks of ponies.
So, it would hurt just as much to tear my legs off. I'm not a f*cking Cyber pony yet. I'm a cybermat, a Changed. But I've been in this exact state since I was deemed dead. Not progressing in any way, and it's leftovers like you who make me want to let go and become as stone cold and heartless as the rest"
"I can at least heal myself from non-lethal injuries..." She says under her breath.
"I've come to you to spend my last moments helping the cause. I want to end this war, and die with the knowledge that I've done some good, that I can be changed into a cyber pony and I would not be looked at with fear, but with a secret admiration of the pony I once was-"
She stumbles backwards a bit, and her lights flash red, ducking down and holding her head in pain.
"I woULd Kill To DO iT_"
They turn blue again, and she gasps in pain.
Kill the horrifying robots,
Or KIlL THeSe PIttiFUl cReATurES?
((This ended up different from what I first wrote it to be...))
((Her voice just cracks when she is the Cybermat. From her vocal cords being something the robot has to learn to use, which hasn't changed much since she first was Changed.))

Monroe sighed
"Look, thing is, you're mostly robotic, which is why we can't trust you. Not yet at least. Also that weird glitchy thing you're doing? Yeah, that's generally gonna get most people to want to jam a large knife into your brain." He trotted around
"Hand over your weapon, and I'll make a way we can trust you"

Indeed it was beautiful to behold.
Storm watches Fleetfire scurry out of the hole "You alright?" By the time Storm looks back she is on the ground in a pool of blood "Holy shit... What..." Storm places his face in his hoof "This can't be happening... this... can't..." Storm sighs "FUCKING HELL!" Storm didn't realize how loud he shouted Storm just tries to calm down he resorts to sitting down oblivious to the blood he looks up in the sky then back at Fleet Fire "Well... maybe... just maybe... you're safer now..." The robots come around the corner as Storm predicted Storm gets up clenching his crowbar "I WILL FIGHT ALL OF YOU! BUT NOT NOW!" Storm jumps down the hole into the sewer's finest water... or at least what he wished was more water than sludge.

The pegasus shrugged, wincing at the movement.
"Anything can happen in this city."
He hobbled a few steps away from the group, to where the sentry lay sprawled on the gravel. Picking up the discarded mage-blade with his mouth, he turned back to look at the bunch. "Find the MUNSHINE Control System at the heart of this city," he said, eyeing Muffins. The others would probably not know what he was talking about, but his faithful companion would. "Bring the orbital defences back under our control. Muffins knows the rest."
He lifted a hoof, the parasprite chirping in response. It hurt him to leave it behind, but it was for the better.
"Good luck, and may Celestia have mercy on our souls."
With that, he took off, flapping his wings to take him on a direct course to the nearest cannon. He would have to land before they locked on to him, but it would be enough to cover half the distance.
Farewell, Muffins. Don't fail them.

((I'm going to make an update post))
Storm rises out of the sludgy stench known as any ponies aftermath. "I wish I wouldn't have to deal with this shit..." Storm climbs out of the sludge walking over to where the ladder he climbed out of when that other pony had bumped into him. "I hope he is at least going to be ok..." Storm stops where he had found the crowbar he now holds in his hoof the body of the other pony is... gone. "Ok... that just..." Storm is forced back Storm catches himself with his wings he then makes vision of a robot in front of him they stare at each other without making any motion to attack. Storm points his crowbar at the robot the robot pulls a long shiny object Storm sighs "A sword... great..." The robot charges over to Storm and swings to attack, Storm blocks the attack with his crowbar and forcing the robot back the robot stumbles swinging again slashing Storm in the shoulder. Storm ignores the pain swinging his crow bar hiring the robot in the head denting the metal the robot seemed to be shutting down Storm takes the sword and sheath off of the robot, Storm examines the sword, it was a katana, Storm sighs "Never thought I would hold one of these..." Storm looks at the robot it was getting up so Storm with a slash of the new sword cut is one leg off "Stay down you fucker..." Storm sheaths his sword and heads to the ladder. Storm climbs up the ladder and peeks outside of the sewers for danger.

Electron stands still, sighing as she knows her next job.
The sentry barely notices the group, acknowledging her presence.
It stops, having located the organics near her.
It turns around to face her, and a grim look creeps it's way up her face.
It stares at her in a cold way, then it's weight tips it backwards and it falls to the floor in a heap.
It's features start to blur, as everything came to life and started buzzing around, dissipating into the air. The robot was rid of, but that is only what the mare knew, and the others didn't.
Her hoof was splayed out, a wireless control pad part of her hoof guards; an add on for rare individuals like her.
The original scientists did not go to waste. They are the Planners, the Researchers for the new civilisation. The updators. The unpredictable, the controllers of the cyber revolution.
It was ripped apart into the air, as far as anyone could see. It realy was, but nothing goes to waste in a sense. After all, the newest update she had just created was the recycle process.
That b*tch is coming back, and alive.
And no body knows.
((So to everyone else, she just tore the thing apart, and no one ever knew about anything to do with the recycle process. So she killed it, in all your eyes.))
----------------------
Eris looks back at Ella.
"Shame, I was sure we'd have another companion to be with in all this trouble." She walks forward slowly. "Goddamn it, good luck sunny boy" she says to the silluette of the stallion.
"I never realy did catch his name-"
She snorts, and walks around the corner, signalling the mare to follow.
Ok. So it's guaranteed now that we are not alone in this town." They turn the corner, when an unnoticeable blur where the sentries used to be occurred. "We have to find others, if we want to live. And quickly, because nighttime is just around the corner"
She puts the hoof device which the parasprite is controlled with on, for precautions.
"I'm betting on you little guy.
Do me good, thanks."

((Posting now))
Storm not seeing any danger climbs out of the sewer and leaves it wide open "Don't have time to be making noise!" Storm makes his way down the street not sure where he was at "Great... I'm lost..." Storm heard something behind him Storm whips around to reveal that a robot had shot at him with some sort of silenced laser beam or something Storm looks at his shoulder witch as a small burn mark from the laser skimming it. Storm is then forced back by some strong pulse of wind he slams into a remain of a building Storm tries to get up but his leg was defiantly badly injured. Storm draws his sword "You fuckin pile of metal..." Storm spits out blood onto the ground "Lets see what you got!" Storm charges at the robot ready to attack.

Storm reaches the robot attempting to slice at it but the robot counters and shoots him with the laser. Storm hits the ground as if he were lifeless soon passing out. By the time he wakes up the area is empty "Wha? did I win..." Storm suddenly feels the pain in his leg and chest he puts his sword away trying to breath calmly "I... I thing my lung might have been agitated..." Storm tries to walk but don't make it to far he begins stumbling "Got... to-to... f-f-find... medical h-h-help..." Storm falls onto the ground and attempts to get up but falls again "Can... m-move... need... a-assistance..." Storm sighs softly "N-No... I... I can do t-this..." Storm manages to stand up and begin walking "Hello!?" Storm attempts to call out for help but it only comes out a soft voice dew to the pain in his chest. Storm wonders around trying not to agitate his injures any more "I...I'm going t-to... die...?" Storm looks at the sky as if he was accusing it of his current state. Storm sits on a corner of a intersection waiting to hopefully be found by someone or something.
((Just a heads up Storm isn't going to die... unless of course I run out of ideas so... yea... on with the story... I guess...))
