Aurora Lights

@@Mentis Soliloquy, @@Denim&Venom, Drone nodded, "Could be. But why would I show them what I really am...Who I really am. Why would I- A killing machine-Ever let anyone know what really happens in my head... Trust me Em... If I ever let you look into my head, Those photos back there will seem like child's play..." he said in almost a sad tone of voice.

@@Denim&Venom, @@Mentis Soliloquy, Drone smiled slightly before looking away, "Thank you Angel, it'll only be about a week. I promise, I'll compensate you for everything..."he said and started flying towards the city with Emerald. He sighed as he realized most of his students have passed his classes, so now he has to talk to new students, had to put on a new fake face... He hated putting on his fake self, The happy go-lucky, smartass he made himself out to be was hard to hold up throughout the days, especially when he talked to Emerald, She had only seen his true colors once, and only a little earlier when he was in the picture room.

@@Denim&Venom, @@Mentis Soliloquy, Drone nodded," I may have been frozen for the past 5 years, but hey. I can still fly." He started flapping his wings and lifted into the air as he looked to the direction of the city, "Oh, Em, Uh...I-I kinda don't have a house anymore...or any of my normal things...B-But I do have a security deposit box- um, 5 of them,heh... They all contain large amounts of money, ea-each one has um... over uhh...Let me see...Oh yeah, over 10 million dollars in each of them...so If you know, you need some money for rent while I try to find my own place..." he looked away, He felt so embarrassed about having to ask to live at her house, Sure, he did love her, but...He just didn't want to bring her into his deep personal life...not yet...

@@Mentis Soliloquy, @@Denim&Venom, Drone blinked as his armor covered his body, he stopped and growled, "Oh yeah...can't do that... " his armor retracted and he opened his flesh wings, looking at the other two, Angel's forearm over Emerald and he said, "Yeah, Always kinda wanted to have a relationship with one of my students. Now that you two are here... Well, I can fulfill that feti- I-I mean...Dream." he looked around after the last part and shook his head, "Come on, we're wasting time. I don't like this place..." he said and waited for them anxiously.

@@Denim&Venom, @@Mentis Soliloquy, Drone chuckled softly before looking away, thinking quietly to himself before he said, "Well, it would be pretty bad-ass...Ah screw it, Sure, I'm in." He glanced to both of them before his gaze settled upon Angel, "So, I suppose you and I got some catching up to do. First things first. I have two things I need to get accomplished before the end of the day. The first thing...Eat. I'm so hungry I could eat...well...you. Both of you. Second thing, I need to find the ones who took me. Froze me. When I do..."he looked away and glared at the wall a minute before he said in a burst of anger, "Fucking assholes...I'll eliminate every one of those fucks..."he growled out in a low tone, just then his pupils shrunk to tiny points, he then looked back up at Emerald and he growled out, "Let's fucking blow this shit house...These photos are making me angry..." he said and advanced towards the door.

@@Denim&Venom, Drone looked to her hoof and held his out as well, then he shook hers, he didn't seem mean, nor angry, but there was obviously some sort of tension in between the two, "So...Have you been taking care of the gap I couldn't fill?" He asked with a certain sarcasm that made him seem more like his old self again, the smart-ass, cocky stallion he could be and is.

@@Mentis Soliloquy, @@Denim&Venom, Drone looked at her with his eyes then to Emerald then back to Angel, "Hello. I am Sentinel Drone...This place...This place is my true home...My birthplace...So, Welcome to my home Angel..."he said and looked at the pictures again, "Only 2 ponies know about this... You and Angel...So please, Keep it that way. Also, Angel, I'm not going to hurt you, Why would I? Em thought I was dead... Can't blame her, I thought I was dead...One last thing before we leave, If anyone calls me Professor... Well, It's because I'm a professor at the local college." He said and turned back to the two mares.

@@Mentis Soliloquy, Drone stopped his tears shortly after she said to cry on her and took a breath softly, "I-I...I don't need to cry anymore...I'm fine..." he stares at the pictures and slowly begins to proceed, "They made me... watch as they killed people in front of me... Right at my hooves... Then...Then they drilled into my spine...they put a chip there... I-I did create the Neural Transmitter, but...but... Not they way you would think... It was military technology... I had the only transmitter for almost 10 years... Then, They made put on a-a suit... Armor...the prototype of a prototype... This armor that I have semi-permanent attached to my spine..." he said and looked down, waiting for Angel.

@@Mentis Soliloquy, Drone thought about it for a moment before he replied, "Well...I-I guess...I guess we can give it a try, if you know...Angel is willing..." he looked away for a moment with his eyes and he then looked to the door opposite from them, the door was still opened slightly and red light could be seen emitting from the crack. He slowly walked over to the door and opened it with caution. As soon as his vision settled on the first picture, he gulped softly. He felt Emerald's eyes watching him, He then took a deep breath and opened the door fully, that was Emerald could see all the photos, Angel could as well if she rounded the corner. He said in a soft tone, still staring at the horrid photos, " Em...Look at what these ponies did to me...They disemboweled me. They tortured me, Drove me to my mind's breaking point... They...succeeded...in a way..." He looked down at a photo that was strewn on the floor and he picked it up, showing her his hair color, "My mane used to be completely blue...Now, It's just...White...One blue streak through it. It's a sign of unbearable stress and pain... It changed about the same time I was being tested for bodily strength...Toughness..."he sighed softly and put the photo down softly before he continued, " They strapped me to a torture chair and...well...They did terrible things to me... They pulled out my teeth one by one, they crushed my femur bones...They made me eat flesh...Drink blood...They...they...made me..."he stopped as he started feeling tears roll down his cheeks. He hadn't even noticed he'd been crying.

@@Mentis Soliloquy, Drone gulped softly as she reached out for him, when she touched his face, he softly leaned into her hoof as she touched him. He felt himself start to drift away into a trance. He then snapped himself out of it as he opened his eyes once more. He looked down and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, "Em... I-If you love Angel...I-I understand...But...But would it be...right for us to be together? All three of us?...I-I mean, having two marefreinds would be pretty cool...but..."he sighed softly as he sat on his rear again, then he started to speak once more, "Let me...Let me start from the beginning... 80-erm...85 years ago, The princesses decided they wanted to create he perfect soldier...This soldier needed to be strong, Intelligent, fast...The soldier also needed to be...immortal...So...They started a team of highly intelligent ponies to create a pony from DNA of...of...the princesses...All of them...I have a small bit of every princess inside of me, but, it only makes me immortal... I'm not some kind hearted Professor at some random college... I'm meant to be a cold blooded killing machine...I-I don't know why but I've noticed I've been blacking out a lot recently...Come to think of it, I remember something from before I was put in stasis...I remember them sticking me with a needle...it had some yellow fluid in it..." he said to her, looking into her eyes.

@@Mentis Soliloquy, Drone looked confused, "Who's...Angel? Moved on? Five years? Angry? At you?...I-I don't even remember that we talked on the phone...I-I can't remember how I got here...And yes...I was created here, Hey, how did you know that? I never told you...Or...did I? A-Anyway, You're retiring?" After a moment, he let her last words sink in," You...You're...Angel's now? What the hell kind of question is that? Can you have us both..."he looked down as he felt the hormone pump into his blood again, altering his vision as his pupils changed again. He looked at her with what looked like a burning fire of hatred, his voice was dark, Angry," Can you...Have us both?...You truly are fucking stupid aren't you?...Five years...FIVE FUCKING YEARS..."he yanked his head from her hoof, then looked at her in disgust, taking a few steps back, "Emerald...I-I feel...Something in me... Something that's not...me..."he was obviously struggling internally about this issue, He grit his teeth and he glared at the wall, "Those fucking lab rats think they can FUCK WITH MY HEAD?! ​I'LL DESTROY EVERYONE OF THOSE FUCKING GEEKS!!!​" He yelled out and he punched the wall hard, his armor covering his arm before he made contact, so the wall cracked with a large indentation in it, He breathed heavily as he glared at the wall a minute before he looked at her again, he seemed normal again as he started to speak, " Emerald...Wh-what...did I just do?"he asked,his voice sounding concerned and worried.

@@Mentis Soliloquy, @@Denim&Venom, Drone gulped and stopped whimpering when he heard her voice. He slowly looked up, his eyes being blurred by tears, he blinked a few times to clear his vision. He slowly stood and started walking towards her, his head was hanging low as he approached her. As soon as he reached her,he slowly looked up at her, she could tell he was not in the right state of mind. His pupils were rapidly growing and shrinking. His face was that of despair and greif, soon he started speaking, " This...This is the place... This is the place they created...Me..." he looked down at his hooves, "I lied...I never had any mother or father...I was close to the princesses because I had to live with them...I was a simple experiment...I was meant to be a soldier. I am the only one that was created. Though they tried to use my DNA to make copies of me. They..." he stops talking and he slowly looks deep into Emerald's eyes, "They...They tortured me...in the name of science..."he said in almost a whisper As they were talking, his heart began to return to normal and the hormone was being suppressed. His eyes slowly began to regain normality and he closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them again, he looked around quickly and then looked at Emerald and said, "Emerald! You got here fast huh?" He smiled, He obviously had no memory of the past minutes in between his phone call and now.

Drone slowly walked into a room labled, "13: Experimentation Room " He gulped softly as he slowly opened the door with his hoof. Soon,he started realising where he was. As he saw the shining steel exam table, his heart pounded, memories rushed into his brain as images flashed in his mind, The blood, the organs, the disembowlment of him. He shook violently his eyes were huge with fear as he backed out of the room and he took a deep breath, fear gripping his chest as he started hyperventilating, "No...No, no, no...please...no. N-Not here..."he said desperately as he started galloping towards the nearest door. He burst through it and was confronted by images of himself on the wall. The pictures portrayed his body being cut open, His intestines being removed, as well as his other organs. Soon he felt the same feeling as he did before. He felt the cold steel blade cut his skin. He felt his insides being removed. He gasped and started to break down. He soon slumped down and began crying, his breathing sparatic and uncontrolled as he heard the voices of the doctors again. He finally burst out of that room and stayed in the hallway. He quivered and shook with violence. His whimpers and weeping could be heard through the halls and rooms as he almost felt the pain imprinted into the walls.

@@Mentis Soliloquy, Drone sighs softly as he stands and walks back into the facility, wandering around the halls, looking for some identification as to what this place was used for. It was obviously a laboratory and a hospital, but it didn't seem like a normal one, there were no documents, not computers, no nothing. It was empty. not even a stray piece of paper was on the ground. This place seriously gave him the creeps.

@@Mentis Soliloquy, Drone stared up at the sky once more, His suit started talking to him again, " Rocket Pods...Empty. Operator, I suggest you rearm at the nearest Armory. Cannon...Jammed, Bolt locked, Damaged extractor...Loaded round in chamber. Gau 19 Right Wing...Damaged Roatator motor, Barrels stripped of rifling, Barrels Melted. Gau 19 Left Wing...Barrel cracked, Jammed Barrel, Barrels Melted. Wing Extension motors damaged. Rocket boosters unresponsive. SATNAV Disabled." Drone sighed angrily as he made his whole suit retract into his cybernetic spine. He looked around the surrounding area, trying to identify anything that may remind him of where he was. He looked to the left, Yet there were only trees, so he looked to the right. Notihing but open field as far as the eye could see. To his direct front,there was what looked like a city in the distance, " That must be where I came from to get here..." He said to himself quietly.

@@Mentis Soliloquy, Drone sat in deep seething hatred, it seemed as if he were contemplating the world being burned. His helmet retracted to show his stone-like face. His expression was cold, bitter. He grit his teeth at the thought of Emerald and Angel. His pupils dilated and shrunk again as he jerked his head to the left, his teeth bared, he growled meanly, truly wondering if Emerald would even show up. His mind was slowly drifting from Emerald and Angel to the ponies that did this to him, he thought deeply, his vision still clouded by anger.

@, Drone finally reaches the top and looks out at the vast landscape and he took a deep breath as his helmet retracted and he smelled the fresh crisp air. He slowly sits down, looking at the sky,his pupils slowly returning to normal. He gulped softly as he started calming down. But as soon as he started thinking about Angel he started to get angrier. He yelled out to the sky and stomped his hoof,cracking the roof where his hoof was. His helmet engulphed his head and he tried to extend his wings,but the machine didn't,the deep robotic voice then said," Wings and boosters damaged...Inoperable. Cannon...Inoperable. Gau 19/b Right and Left damaged...Inoperable. Blade...Operational. Taser...Operational. Power supply...78% Battery Remaining. Degrading at a rate of: !/8 of a percent per second. Solar Charger...Inoperable. Armor Life expected to expire in... 30 minutes..." He growls and sighs," A knife is all I need...And I got a taser..." He looks out at the landscape, wondering if he should leave this place.

@, Drone took a deep breath as he said," 318-418-5878..."he said in almost a whisper. He said to Emerald, " Angel..."he took a soft gulp and continued with his sentence, "...You never gave up...But you stopped looking for me? Did Angel distract you?! Did she?! OR HE?! I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHO IT IS...THEY'RE FUCKING DEAD!!​" He yelled out,his pupils shrinking to pinpoints,his vision blurred by rage,all he could see was red, "You know what...No. No,no Don't come and fucking save me...FUCK YOU!! YOU HEAR ME?! FUCK YOU!! GRAAHHH!!! FUCK!!! ​"He then stopped talking,his heartbeat and blood pressure was sky high, his adrenaline and Testosterone levels were off the chart as well. He growled one last sentence out," You and your lover can die for all I care...Don't ever call me again. And I won't ever call you..."he said and hung up the phone in his helmet. He started up the stairs,his rage making him run as fast as he could,the concrete stairs cracking under the force of his galloping,of course his armor was making the concrete crack, but he felt like he could though.

@, Drone stops speaking as he hears the words come out of her mouth. Tears roll down his cheeks as he says in a soft,sad tone," I-I'm...I'm not ok...Not at all...I don't know where I am. But it's dark. Corridors, hallways, Labs. No one is here...No one. I'm going up the stairs to see where I am. Emerald...Wh-when...When did you give up on the possibility of my survival?" He asked the question with obvious tension. His face was dark, grim, distraught with sadness and fear. He has never in his life been like this. He gulps as he says to himself in his head,'​She...she thought I was dead...N-Now she's with someone else...I-I...I can't...Maybe-Maybe I should die...But...But I can't. My abilities restrict me from death...So then I...I disappear...'​ he thought silently.

@, Drone gulped and fell on his rear,his hoof to his mouth as he tried to process this information," O-Oh my..."he said softly as he started to come to grips with the situation. He blinked a few times as silence settled over the phone,then he finally spoke," Em...I-I have to ask...Did you think I-I w-was dead?"he asked in a melancholy tone. He waited patiently for the answer, thinking intensely about the last thing he could remember.

@, Drone gulped at the sound of her voice," E-Em..."he said in a soft voice, it seemed...scared. Weak. He takes a breath and continues on," Em...I-I d-don't know wh-where I am...I-I w-w-woke up in some sort of...cryo-station...th-there is no power here...it's d-dark..."he said as he slowly walks in the maze of corridors and hallways. He stops as he looks up at a stair way," E-Em...H-How long..."he stops and looks around a moment before he started up the stairs, "H-How long was I...Was I...frozen?" He asked softly, he was obviously still cold and shaken, still weak,trying to shake off the cold and death sickness seemed impossible to do.

A small light blinks red from a frosted over cryo-pod, that being the only source of light in the room. Soon after a few seconds of blinking, the cryo-pod slowly opened up, frost and ice making the inside of the pod turn misty from the difference in air temperature. The non moving, battle-scarred exoskeleton, parts of the dark armor being removedin signs of an obvious battle,though it had a few pieces of armor missing,it looked operational. Soon a deep voice emitted from the frosted suit,saying," Scanning operator's physical entegrity...Heart Rate: 0 BPM...Blood Pressure...0/0...Operator Deceased. Attempting revival...Charging....Clear." As soon as the deep voice said clear a loud electric shock pulsed the body of the white stallion in the armor. Soon after multiple discharges of electricity, the machine stopped and said," Operator Heart Beat detected. Blood Pressure...Low...BPM: 4. Attempting to warm operator. Operator internal body heat stable. Attempting Waking procedure..." soon afterwards, large needles penetrated the stallions spine, which was entirely Cybernetic. Adrenaline was coursing through the stallion's veins as he woke with a gasp, his heart rate and blood pressure spiking extremely high before stabilizing. The stallion slowly sits up, looking around with enhanced augmented reality. This creating a hud and showing his energy, blood pressure, heartrate and physical wellbeing. He gulped as he said to himself," Where...Where...Am I?" he asked and the suit responded," Location: Unknown." He sighed softly as he slowly stood and started walking around the facility," I need to get outta here...How long was I asleep?...Who is in my contacts Excalibur?" He asks, the machine replying," Emerald Bolt...Only contact available...calling.

@,@@Randimaxis, Drone smiled and blushed lightly as she walked off," Bye! Lo-...uhh...bye."he said,hoping no one caught that,he then looked up at Twitch and made a devilish smile as he said in a small,soft voice," Please b-be gentle."he said and looked away with the most devilish smile possible.

@@Randimaxis,@, Drone smiled slightly at Twitch then at Emerald," It's no contest for my affection."he chuckled and he closed his eyes in bliss as he was scratched,her soft feathers,they felt like soft little clouds,yet Twitches mechanical feelers were hitting the god spot as well,he then looked at them,a feather entered his nostril slightly and he jerked his head back,he looked around for something to sneeze into,since he couldn't use his appendages besides-HIS WINGS!! He reached his own wings around and sneezed into them,he sighs softy and smiles," That was nicee~"he said softly,a real smile on his face.
