Clayton trotted around the area around the castle. He had overheard what the others were planning and had decided to follow them. He doubted the others had noticed him, aside from Tempest, at all and as far as they knew, he was just another survivor. "Sticking with them would probably be better anyway." He thought to himself.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

As the lighting changed, so did how Aurora perceived the area. She sure loved her way of sight. She looked all around and says, "They realy tried to get into this place. May i check if any of the machines have a specialty model access unit for MECH that still works?"

 

She goes over to the pile of machines, ready to check them.

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest smirked as he looked around. He was honestly impressed when it came to Lektra's house. "I wonder why they were trying to break in." The bat pony then grit his teeth as a headache surged through his head.

 

Last night Xena realized why the alicorn seemed so familiar. It was because she and Tempest were the same. "We have to find her." He roared. "If they turn her, then I won't hold back."

 

"I know, Xena. We will." Tempest muttered. "We're trying to do that now."

Unlike his other airborne companions, Cura chose to hoof it back to Ponyville. As much as he may have wanted to fly there, he didn't want to risk reopening his gash. There wasn't much conversation as they traveled, though again their wasn't much to discuss as most of the group appeared to be wrapped up in their own thoughts. Since we're heading back to Ponyville, I wonder if I could convince the rest of the group to revisit what's left of the clinic. I wasn't exactly in the right frame of mind when I left and I'm sure there are plenty of things that could help the group as well as giving me the time for some personal matters. As they finally exited the forest they could finally catch their first glimpse of the smoking ruins once known as Ponyville. It was a rather depressing sight, Homes and buildings stood gutted, with parts exposed to the elements, while others where blackened by fires that had long since put themselves out, some were merely rubble. However, these ruins were far from unguarded as they was forced to hide from its sole remaining inhabitants, the machines. It seemed luck was on their side as they did eventually reach their destination, a metal hut. What could be so important here? 

As Cura carefully stepped through the shattered door frame he found the interior in shambles, dust, debris, and garbage littered everywhere, clearly showing that somepony had lived here recently and judging from the expressions Lektra was giving, it hadn't been her. It didn't take them long to reach the basement, where what Cura could only assume as half-finished and failed creations sitting on tables or in heaps in one of the corners and schematics covered the walls. Somepony had a lot of time on her hooves. He observed as he glanced around the room, though his gaze soon focused on a vault that hummed softly along with the bodies of broken androids laying across the wall from it. He could only guess that they had tried to break in it only to be destroyed by whatever enchantment surrounded the vault. ​What could be so important If this many androids tried to get in that vault? Apparently he wasn't the only one curious as the bat pony asked what was the contents of the vault, though he had barely finished when he began to grit his teeth in what Cura assumed to be pain. Alarmed he quickly trotted over to him, asking, " Are you alright?" @@Drago Ryder,

Aurora checks the piles finding the access unit but sighs in defeat at the fact some of the important circuits were damaged or destroyed.

 

"PonyFeathers, this one is perfect but some of the important curcuits were damaged or destroyed. Can you fix it Lektra?"

 

She hooves the device to Lektra.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Aurora says, "Let me guess, you got the same idea as me from the Iron Mare comics? Did you take into account of potentially having to face Alicorn type units controlled by M.E.C.H? I have my alicorn armor augments For if we need them in my adaptation pack. As for needed weapons, I like the idea. Is that made of magitanium?"

 

Aurora is looking right at her and yet she has already examined and determined the two suits are on equal par with eachother. Despite her's can't come off fully like Lektra's can and that her is pegasus based not unicorn based.

 

She looks through the items for a device that could stimulate her weather magic and allow for precise striking control of electricity.

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest glanced at Cura and nodded slightly. "Yeah. I'm fine. It was just a headache." He said. The bat pony then looked at Lektra and Aurora. He was honestly impressed as to what hesaw, but Aurora made a good point. "As far as I can tell, I don't think that MECH has any alicorn units, and if they do, Luna have mercy on us all." This made his thoughts turn to Dawn and a pit formed in his stomach.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Aurora continues to look the items over. She claims a mini mana cannon and a device that looks to help focusing of energy types. It looks compatable with her energy core matrix and suit systems.

 

She quickly installs the device and a single bolt of lightning Hits right where she wants it to. No items or allies where hit by the test. She packs away the cannon for later use.

[Blacklight 118]

Truthfully, Cura was thoroughly impressed as he witnessed as the magically enchanted armor assembled itself around Lektra until she was completely covered in it, making her look similar to that of the Cyber-mare, abate for a unicorn rather than for a pegasus. I think I now realize why this is in a vault, I mean the I don't know how strong that armor may be or what else it does but just imagine what else is here. Upon hearing her say that they were free to take anything they wanted, Cura begin examining the strange items both placed on the shelves or stacked on the walls.I'm not even exactly sure what all of this is, or if it's all that safe...As if to prove his point, the Cyber-Mare fired a single lightning bolt using something she had grabbed off a shelve. Maybe I should ask Lektra before I go poking about. Trotting over to Lektra, he asked, " Do you have anything that heals ponies?" @@bronislav84,  

[Drago Ryder 641]

Temoest looked over the contents of the vault and noticed two strange devices that seemed to be able to fit on the hoof of a pony. He picked up the devices and accidentally clicked a button on their side, causing two energy blades to spring out. "This could prove interesting." He thought to himself as he tried them on. Black armor then sprung from the devices and surrounded his body. Temoest then glanced at Aurora. "I should probably be the one to come with you." He whispered. "Dawn is a close friend of mine and I can be stealthy when needed."

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Aurora says, "We will also need a delay system that will allow for me to break free from MECH. If I can't break free, then I become an enemy."

 

Aurora looks to the others and then to Lektra. "Lektra, can you do that? An addition to that access unit to automatically hit me with your spell."

[Acnologia 167]

Clayton smirked as he watched the other ponies enter the house. "I might as well see what they're up to in there." He thought to himself. The unicorn then trotted towards where the others were and was quite surprised to see two ponies in armor and another two looking around. "Hey, I don't think we've met, but my name is Clayton."

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Aurora looks it over and sets the unit to a disposable plate. She doesn't power it until we were ready. She says, "If am lucky and MECH doesn't detect my spirit in the mana core surrounding my heart, I may be able to gain enough control of my suit to detach the plate the device is on. The plate is just extra armor plating. It can be discarded in emergency situations for a lighter load. I am ready once yall are."

 

She looks to Clayton, "Welcome Clayton. Glad to see another surviver. My name is Quantum Aurora. I can also be called Iron Mare to those who don't directly know me."

[Acnologia 167]

Clayton nodded slightly and smiled. "Same here. I can't remember the last time I saw another pony." He said. The unicorn then looked around the area and saw a few guns that seemed to fire magic instead of bullets. He decided to keep it just in case he would need it later and why stop at one. He took five of the ten.

[Blacklight 118]

Letting out a soft sigh, Cura turned his gaze back to the inventions lining the vault, " Well thanks anyway. Also, name's Cura Breeze by the way," Trotting to one of the walls, Cura reflected on Lektra words. I don't remember Redheart ever mentioning anything about some sort of healing beam device.Spying a set of goggles, he lifted them towards him for closer look. I mean I know that I was in the Griffin Dominion at the time but I pretty sure that it is still something noteworthy to tell me about. So why didn't she tell me? Though I guess it doesn't matter now...Upon closer inspection,the goggles seemed to be made of single set of lens, which appeared to be made of simple glass, it encased in a shiny copper frame, giving the goggles a rather sleek look. Also, invetted in the left side was a dial labeled with several different settings, it currently being placed 'off'. Along with that was an adjustable leather strap that served as a means to secure it on the user's head. Curious about the goggles, he carefully put them on. Pleasantly surprised that find they were rather comfortable, though he didn't understand what made these different as they functioned exactly the same as a regular set of goggles.

Lets turn the dial and see what happens. Turning the dial, the goggles sprang to life as the word 'Welcome New User' appeared in front of him, taking him off guard as he stumbled back. Regaining his composure, Cura found that the words had disappeared, replaced with the words 'Mental Syncing With User, Stand By'. Confused he thought, What does it mean by m-owwwww! Sitting down, he grasped his head with his hooves as he was stuck with a brutal migraine, grunting in pain. Though as quickly as it came, it dissipated, only leaving a dull ache in its wake. Opening his eyes, he found the words 'Mental Sync Compete' fading away. So that was the mental syncing, how wonderful...he noted as he observed the changes to his vision. Every object and pony in sight was now surrounded in a light blue box. Truth be told, it was rather fascinating to him, focusing on one of the shelves in front of him, he found information on one of the inventions in front of him appearing on the right of his vision, telling him  material make-up, possible uses, structural weaknesses, and information he didn't even know what to make sense of. It's too much! Ripping the goggles from his eyes and dis-guarding them on the ground, he began breath heavily as he closed his eyes. Trying to make sense of everything he had just seen.

Tempest looked over the group and smiled slightly. He hadn't expected to find any other survivors, but he was wrong. The bat long then left the house and looked in the direction of Canterlot. "I know where you are, and I am coming for you." He thought, as his aura surrounded the armor. He was strong. He wouldn't cower as one of his friend's life was on the line. The bat pony then extended his wings and heard several bones pop into place as he got ready. "This may be where I doe, but I won't go down without a fight."

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Aurora steps outside and sees Tempest get ready. She goes up to him and asks, "So, do you think this will work? You know as well as i do what MECH can do. We need to be careful and keep our element of surprise. MECH won't think we would go on the offensive. So any plans for a backup, just incase this doesn't work out?"

Edited April 14, 2015 by Midnight_Aurora

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest nodded. "If they find out that we're there, run." There was no hesitation in his voice as he said this. "You're one of the most important ponies on this team, and they can't afford to lose you. I'm just some guard that barely made it out of that hel of a city alive." The bat pony also had his own backup plan for when she left, but he would have to find Dawn first.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Aurora says, "Ok, but I will also fight. I was there when MECH activated so I owe it to those who were there to do something. If I have to run while using the Alicorn buster, then you know that they are stronger then we thought. Let's hope it doesn't come to that."

[Blacklight 118]

The pain from the informational overload slowly began to fade away as Cura took slow, deep breaths. Rubbing his temples with one of his hooves he thought. Ugh, I pretty sure I got a migraine from that thing. Opening his eyes, he gazed warily at the discarded set of goggles. That thing is dangerous. He briefly entertained the idea of placing them back on to the selves and moving on elsewhere, but dismissed it as another thought entered his mind. If I could learn to control it, maybe I could use it to help me. I mean imagine if I could use that to instantly discover the illness or injury on a pony or in worst case, the best way to destroy one of those forsaken machines. Though how? His eyes wandering away from the goggles as he pondered the question, he chanced upon a rolled piece of parchment laying next to where he had found the goggles. Rising back to his hooves, swiftly grabbed it and began to unroll it. Instructions and notes on the experimental invention #94 aka'heads up display' he read as he  unrolled the scroll. Reading through it, he discovered that those goggles worked through a mental connection with the user along with it drawing power through same connection. Also, the goggles had four mode which could be changed through the dial, scanning, thermal, night-vision, and magic. Of those Cura experience what he assumed was scanning. All of that is interesting, doesn't explain how to use it. He thought as he read the scroll. His hope was beginning to hope as he was nearing the end until finally he found the section on how to use the device. Apparently, after the user and the goggles had created a mental connection, the user could control using mental commands, with the level of focus he/she gave the object determining the amount of information one received, as judged by their desires.

Well, with a little bit of practice and this scroll I'm sure that I'll master it in no time! Tucking both the scroll and goggles in his saddlebags, Cura Breeze resumed his exploration of the vault.

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest nodded slightly. "I always expect that, but I still have a few tricks in my hoof." The bat pony then sighed as he looked over his armoires body. His mind still reeled from that vision and he didn't know if he was in the right mind to fight an entire army hellbent on killing him.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Aurora says, "At least you don't have to fight alone. We all wish to fight in our own way."

 

Aurora stretches herself, making sure she is nice and loose for when the time to fight comes. After stretching, she heads back into the lab to see if everyone is ready.

[Blacklight 118]

Hearing Lektra's warning, Cura Breeze decided it was best to leave the vault, least he be locked in by mistake. Either way, the goggles will help me more than enough, well if I can learn to control them that is... Trotting out of the vault, an idea stuck Cura Breeze as he begin to make his way out of the cottage. Since we're already in Ponyville and have no real destination planned for the moment...maybe I can convince the others to help scavenge whatever's left behind at Ponyville general hospital. Though at the thought of the hospital, memories of the previous day's events threatened to resurfaced to plague his mind once more, though he shook his head, dismissing them. I can't let what happened there cloud my judgement.That hospital contains valuable medical supplies that could extremely benefit in the future...it's just too good of an opportunity to pass up. Finally exiting through the hole that used to be the front door, Cura discovered the rest of the group waiting. Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Cura began to address the group, " Look I don't know where you guys plan to head next, but if there's time we could head an abandoned aid station that's located nearby; because at the current moment, I don't have sufficient medical supplies to treat a serious injury and I know for a fact that we could scavenge some supplies there."

Tempest glanced at Cura and nodded slightly. "That is a good idea." He said. "We don't know what we'll come across over the next few days and it would be best if we were prepared for anything." The bat pony knew that he could simply heal others via his aura, but that wouldn't exactly help much if he needed to fight.

 

As Dawn laid in her coccon, she meditated as she waited for what seemed like the inevitable. She could hear the gears shift as the factory operated seemingly by itself. She didn't know what it was doing, but it probably wasn't good, given the circumstances-

[Acnologia 167]

Clayton noticed that Tempest, Cura, and Aurora had already exited the vault and decided that it would be good to follow them. "So, when are we going to move next?" He asked, slightly curious. He had heard them talking about going to a nearby hospital and thought that it would be a good idea.
