Volt, without breath, was still able to send at the wolf a grin

 

"ponies? i don't think so! they were failures! they deserved to die!"

 

volt pushed his rear hooves on a pipe to gather some heights, to be able to breath more

 

"do you know? we used to make all the rainbows in the sky with them! It is easy once you get to know it! Eh eh you wanna know how we did it? We take failuresm those pegasi who aren't able to pass their easy flight test, we strap them into the conveier belt, each limbs get cut away to work better on them, then we drain all of their  blood, filetring it we extract the first part of the spectra, then we make the water on their body evaporate with high temperature, after that we grind their coat and mix the powder togheter with the extracted blood, and you get spectra! awesome isn't it? the more the pain, the more birghts are colors! because fear makes magic flow! isn't it awesome Seth? ins't i amsuing at all? that was progress until this idiot ownling this body done everything to leave that place and stop the production! stupid retard!"

Seth's glare only hardened with every word. Even in the wolven code, this was beyond redeemable qualities. Continuing to grip Volt's throat, he looked at his limb with the V etched into it.

 

"So, when I was down, you tortured me and used me as your experiment. That's right, I remember. You put me through the same hell they were, only it ended quick for me. They had to suffer. And because of you," He shouted, throwing Volt across the room against a wall of metal pipes. "I now am them! I have their knowledge and pain of what happened there. That's what the hallucinations are: memories of their tattered souls"

 

Seth advanced on the pony, no longer held back by sympathy.

As the orders came to Seth, the migraine returned in full force. Not only were his orders completely perpendicular to each other, but Seth's own conciseness was fighting on both sides as well. With both his mind torn and the programming being overridden, the chip failed and shorted out. With his mind finally free of both physical and mental pain, the wolf fell to the ground.

Volt turned around, grabbing a huge high voltage wire, he pulled it away from the wall

"esactely, and you too!!"

Seth instantly got up from the sudden arc and Volt flying across the room. Seeing the body steaming, Seth ran over to him.

"Volt. Volt!" He demanded of his friend. Bending down to his heart, he couldn't feel a beat. His anger grew as to fuel his actions.

 

"Fuck you, Volt! You are not taking yourself like this!" He yelled as he began beating on the pony's chest. "I have tried killing you, eating you, biting you, and torturing you, but I will not let this be the end of you! You are not going to die, you mother fucker!" He continued to yell as he tried to bring life into his friend. He needed answers for what Volt had done to him, but more importantly, he needed to have his brother live on.

"You just took a crap ton of volts through your body and I am the one who has brain damage." Seth muttered with a smile. His smile faded as he looked to his friend with serious eyes. "Volt, don't you ever pull a stunt like that again. I don't care if it's for the world, but I am not going to let you die bro. You may owe me a lot of explaining about my new body, but we have been through hell and back... I'm sorry for lashing out at you there." He said, looking ashamed.

"You were always one for brilliant ideas, lets hope this is no different." Seth commented as he looked over to the pipe he was told to bend. It wasn't going to be easy, as the metal was completely rigid. Looking around, he spotted an only welder. Picking it up, he ignited it and used it's heat to soften the necessary joints. After a few slow minutes of this, Seth was able to push the pipe into place.

 

"Ok, the pipe's in place. What's the plan anyway and why do I need to swim?" He called to his friend, tossing the torch away and readying himself for a slash.

Volt’s face morphed into a grin

“eh eh, you will see Seth”

Volt started to discharge all of his stored energy on the control panel, as he did, a transformer near the door started to hum

“you see Seth, have you ever tried to drop water on a frying pan filled with boiling oil? Good, figure this out, and multiply it by a factor on one thousand”

A siren started to fill the air as some spark came out of the transformer, soon, a dark gray fog was all around the machinery

“we will do the same, just with insulating oil… at over 3000 C°”

The Knocks on the metal door started to increase as more and more foes was trying to break in

“when you see the water, just run toward it ok? Locate where it is flowing, and try to emerge… the damn is almost 30 meters tall from this side… I am sure we can do it….”

The door broke down, revealing a big number of angered Wolves, they didn’t have even the time to aim, as Volt saw their noses, he opened the last inverse flow valve from the big pump,  steam erupted with a brutal violence from the pipe that his friend bended, covering them and hitting the transformer

 

(watch to the end XD)

For a millisecond, flames, steam and flesh were mixing together, as the time almost stopped, the transformer exploded sending pieces everywhere, ripping away pipes and creating an huge breach on the opposite wall… the wall on the hydro basin side

“NOW! RUN SETH! RUN BEFORE THE FLOW PUSHES US AWAY!”

Before Seth had a second to protest, he heard the blast. As the ringing in his ears indicated that he was near death, he looked up to see the cause. What met him made him wish he didn't. The water began to pore through the gaping hole, casting arcs across the electrical equipment. Seeing his friend begin to run into the water, Seth plunger in after him. As the current battled with him to take control, he forced himself further up. Using the slight webbed paws, he managed to pull himself upward and past the main current line. He battled with the current against time as he tried to swim to the surface and make it out of this day alive.

 

After nearly drowning to the current, he pulled himself to the shore of the dam and fell limp on the ground.

 

"Volt... If you  call this life boarding... Fuck you buddy." He panted for air. He didn't even care if he was there or not, he just needed to say it.
