This world was a utopia. No wars, no political disagreements, everything was perfect. But, 40 years ago, many new species were discovered throughout our galaxy. Afraid of what could become of them, the humans bid war against the other races, and humans were on the ropes. The aliens took up arms at the sudden attack. Humans fought well, but the aliens technology far surpassed their own. In a last ditch attempt for the end of the war, the high council, a group of 5 men, gave up their 2nd biggest city, Snow-hammer, to the aliens. Those in the city were either forced to move out, or be used as a warning to the rest of humanity, holding some of the most important people hostage. In the present day, the war has died down, and the different races try to life together in peace. The high council, however, wanted to change this.

"They're taking over far too quickly for my likes." A man said coldly. He wore black robes with a white rim around the edges of the sleeves, hood ever his head.

"Don't worry 3rd, our project is coming along smoothly." Said a feminine voice, known as 4th, wearing the same attire as the man, with yellow around the sleeves rim. "It's been seven years, and he is almost ready."

"What about his most recent problem?" Asked another voice. 2nd was wearing the same black robe, with a blue rim. "I believe his arm was made unusable during a test.

"That problem was solved easily." 5th, a man with a brown rim said. "We used our best technology. His right arm is now metal, able to transform in to many different types of weapons. He is going to be a one man army after all."

"Good to know." A man stood up about to take his leave. He wore the same black robe, but had a symbol of the sin of pride on the front. Both the symbol and the rims of his sleeves were made of a gold fiber. "I'll take my leave then. I need to check up on solaris anyway."

In an underground facility, multiple scientist stopped their work and bowed as first walked by. He made his way down to the head scientist, who was currently spectating a child. The child was no older than eight years old, and was currently hunched down in the corner, knees on his chest. The scientist turned around, hearing 1st come in. "How is PROW-0034 going? I heard he can do many more things with his metal arm now." 1st asked with curiosity on his mind.

"We were just about to start the experiment, sir" He responded before he typed something on his tablet. "0034, please get ready for the simulation." The boy stood up, showing himself to the scientist. He looked to be about seven years old. He wore a grey shirt and a pair of black jeans. His face was not taken care of well, having multiple scars and bruises on it. His physique was good for his age, not overly muscular, but not skinny either. His right arm, however, was made of a black metal, with the internals glowing blue, along with a hole in his metal hand, made for focusing energy into blast. He got into a fighting stance, taking a right back stance with his metal arm covering his face, while his real arm hung in front of him, guarding his lower body. Two targets showed up in the room, as they did, he got a command from the scientist.

"Attack the targets with firebolt." He did as he was told, firing two fireballs from his left hand, causing the targets to explode. Four more targets generated out thin air, as 0034 got into his stance again. "Use your metal arm, ranged attack." Again, he did as he was told, making the tips of his fingers fold back and his wrist fold out, turning into a cylinder. After the transformation, his metal arm was replaced with a gatling gun. He then fired, shooting small blue pellets at the targets, creating holes in the target.

"Good, 0034. Your arm doesn't seem to slow you down at all." 1st said impressed. He turned around, getting ready to leave. Just before he could, the boy spoke in a quiet voice. "Excuse me, can I see Ms. Ysolda?" Ysolda was everything to the boy. He saw her as a mother, and she was the only one that was nice to him, that made him feel wanted. Because of this, he felt things a perfect warrior was never supposed to feel.

Emotions. Without them, he could fight the attackers with no remorse. He would be perfect. The scientist laughed. "Yes, but first, come with me. After all your work, there's still something you need." 1st raised an eyebrow at this. "You see, 0034, you have an interesting ability, photographic memory. You can remember anything you see and describe it in great detail. The problem is, you have no way to get the knowledge to remember." As he finished his sentence, the three entered a room with a glass display case. Inside it was a black metal collar, seemingly made of the same metal as 0034's arm. "Well? Put it on." He did as he was told, with the collar tightening around his neck to fit his size. It unfolded over his head, taking the shape of a black dragon's head with blue eyes. As the helmet stayed on, his head was flooded with information of his world, causing a scream of pain to escape his mouth. At last, the pain stopped. "Now, time to see Ysolda." said the scientist.

0034 walked in smiling, expecting to see Ysolda. Instead, he saw something he never wanted to happen. The high council was keeping her hostage. "What are you doing?" he asked with shock written all over his face. Ysolda faked a smile at him. "Don't worry, you'll be fine without me." she said calmly on the verge of crying. With those being her last words, the five killed her, stabbing her in her back with a sword going through her.

"This is for our future." The scientist standing next to him said calmly, showing no remorse. "To become strong, you must abandon your emotions. That is an order."

"I will. On one condition." 0034 said angrily. "Disappear."

And with that, he placed a hand on his chest, casting a firebolt spell inside him, cremating him. His collar turned into his dragon helmet, as he used his metal arm, turning it into a grenade launcher, killing the high council. All but the 1st, barely holding on. 0034 walked up to him.

"Well, you got what you wanted, but don't worry, I plan on using these powers for good, not evil." With that, he punched his head with all his might, crushing his skull. He left with the plan to destroy the facility, and all who were involved with Ysolda's death. At the end of it, he found the facility's supercomputer, and downloaded all the information from it into the helmet. Including the artificial intelligence, with the mask now having a mind of its own. Now, 0034 was lost at what to do, sitting in the rubble of the former facility.

He slowly cried, losing everything he had. "What do I do now? I have nobody and nowhere to go to. I'm alone."

"There is a possibility." his Helmet spoke. "The facility has been testing portals to other dimensions in the hope of a takeover. The cost of it is the death of many, and currently, you have the materials to do it."

"Tell me what I need to do." 0034 said with determination.

A screen showed up in the helmet, showing a symbol he had to make. It was a seven pointed star with various runes around it. "Make this around the facility, and a portal will appear. For approximately 5 seconds with the amount of bodies here." 0034 got to work, making the symbol he saw. It took a total of two hours. With the last mark done, A portal, showing blue,purple, and cyan colors in it. He ran as fast as he could and jumped through.

There was a party going on in the Royal Canterlot Garden. It seemed to be a philly's birthday, and the said philly was in a tower getting ready for her party. She was a light blue unicorn with a white and sky blue mane and tail and orange eyes. She was excited that all her friends would be there, and they planned on having the best day ever. Right when she was about to walk through the door to join the party, something came crashing through the roof, causing ruble to land everywhere, including in the garden. Somehow, it started a fire, and the philly yelled for help, as the fire slowly engulfed the tower. Many of the royal guard came quickly trying to save her, but there was no way up to her, as the stairs collapsed. Even Princess Celestia was at a loss of what to do, as the parents of the philly were shouting at the guards to save their kid.

Meanwhile, up in the tower, 0034 was awoken from his fall to the sound of someone crying. Or in this case, somepony. He slowly got up, and scared the pony even more. The unicorn screamed in horror, but was slowly comforted by 0034's words. "Don't worry, i'm not going to hurt you.

"Don't come closer!" She said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, things may look bad, but we need to get out of here. After that, i'll be out of your hair, or mane in your case."

She stopped crying. "Who and what are you? And are those worms?" she asked, pointing to his hands.

"Ah, these are hands, and i'm a human, but let's get out of here first. Just one question." He put out his hand. "Can you trust me? Just for now?" The philly put her hoof on his hand slowly, showing she could trust him for now. "Thank you, um…"

"My name is Lyra. So, what now?"

0034 crouched down. "Get on my back, and hold on tight." She did so, and as he held her hind legs in his arms with her front legs around his neck, she braced herself. He took off running through the fire before jumping out the window to the surprise of Lyra, and all the spectators outside. 0034 landed on the still standing railing of the stairs and rode it down. Right before the two children ran into the sudden erupting fire in front of them, He flipped lyra around and shielded her with his body, jumping off and rolling to the ground. He let her go, but the young philly helped him up while Lyra's parents ran towards the two.

"Lyra! Thank Celestia you're ok!" Said the mare, hugging her daughter, while the father joined in to.

"Im fine mom, the hooman saved me!" As she said this, the three turned towards 0034, who was scratched up. He waved, but made the mistake of using his right arm, his metal arm. At the sudden gesture, The royal guard surrounded him, spears pointed at him. He immediately raised his hands, trying to show he meant peace. They didn't get the message. A tall, white Alicorn approached him, almost twice as tall as him. "Transport this being to the dungeon. I will interrogate him tomorrow." The Royal guard started to transport 0034 towards the Castle. "Wait!" a young philly called out. 0034 turned his haid to see Lyra. "He saved me, don't hurt him." He smiled back at the unicorn.

"Don't worry... Lyra, wasn't it? I'll be fine. And, from the cake and decorations, i'm guessing it's your birthday, so… happy birthday." And with that, he was escorted away, while a few of the royal guards calmed the crowd down, asking not to share what they saw with anyone. "Goodbye, Mr. Hooman." she said faintly.

And that's the first chapter. I know it's a little long, but I had to go over some backstory for PROW-0034. PROW stands for Project Restart Our World, with 0034 making him the 34th experiment. The other experiments will have to wait for later chapters. Thank you for reading. Feel free to leave reviews. This is my first story, so I will read each one. See you next time!
