Prompt 3
Video Game - Detroit: Become Human
Thing - Replacement

(AN: After seeing Youtube Videos of the game 'Detroit: Become Human', it actually got me thinking. What if those RK Androids or whichever could have a head that will be like that Real Human Person like me? This is where that Prompt come in. Let's see how well I do today.)


Detroit. A City in the state of Michigan. It is one of the states near the border of Canada. And it has become the richest and the future tech. Mainly because they got androids. It is now spreading to the Michigan State, before low to other states. Androids were built to think and feel, but some times they can become deviant, which is a job for the Authorities to bring down Deviants.

But there is another story. That story is from me. I live in Detroit as welll, and I am the only person of the family, the only family member to have no permission to have or be near an Android. They feel I lack responsibility so I get no Android until I prove it. And they just won't listen. I was proving that I have my responsibilities as an adult and yet they refuse to believe my truthful words.

It has been 4 months since they got three new androids, now befriending each others. And now everything is going south to dark heavens. I finished brushing my charcoal black hair with my purple comb, combing it from right of my head to over left. I put on my glasses to learn about the news. The fourth android is already ordered and my parents are rich.

"A new android? But we already have three." I said, but I thinked for a moment until I conclude, "Perhaps I'm getting a new one at last."

"No Derek." my Dad said, "We already told you. We are replacing you."

"Replacing me?" I asked in a state of confusion, I walk to the living room to find a fourth android, which is a skin of me. "An Android impersonating me?"

"More than that." My mom said, "We did some custom orders to act with much more good behavoir than you, since you fail to be very responsible."

"R-Rediculous!" I said, "I am being more Responsible!" but they ignored my words.

"Derek, because we are replacing you," Dad said, "That means we are banishing you through the Dimension gate we invented." he turns to the Custom RK200 Android, who's very muscular. "Herc. Drag him to the Circle Gate."

I was unable to evade the grab as one of their RK200 gates grabbed me by my shirt. I watch as Dad turns on the Dimension Gate device. Blue portal energy being powered, before Herc arm tosses me through the Portal.

"Goodbye Derek." Dad said, "Good luck in the new world."

I almost blacked out from the portal wormhole speed of vaccuming, covering my eyes with my arms, before feeling a gust of wind followed by a splash through the water.

I began swamming up after uncovering away from my arms, holding my breath and trying to swim upwards. I reached the surface and gasped for air, making my way to the meadowy flats, dragging myself and sitting myself up. I saw the portal where my Parents are looking down at me. After Mom and Dad casually waved goodbye at me, the portal closes.

I can't believe this is happening. I wanted an Android like anyone else. Then my Parents became greedy with having more Androids while I'm parentally prohibited from having my own Android until I proven myself to be have proper responsibility when I know I have one. Then replacing me because I lack those, and they refuse to believe that I do have those Responsibilities.

"Hey... Are you okay?" I look around to find just one Bug-eyed pony looking at me, Ignoring a wild animal and trying to dry off myself.

"Um, can you listen?" I pay no attention, "I am speaking to you."

"Then tell your pet to move away please." I responded, "I'm not in the mood."

"You're misunderstooded." It was then I saw the Bug Pony's lips moving. "I'm actually the one talking."

"Now Androids talking the form of- You know what, buck those Android things."

"Ocellus! There you are!" I turn to the Purple Unicorn with wings who was trotting here. Brushing off everything that's androids, giving up my dream of getting my own android, I was about to walk away when someone shouted. "A real live human?! I thought those are just legends." Then followed by other five. Cyan, and White coming in.

"Twi, we should continue our School Job." It was the Cyan who spoke, wielding Rainbow Mane, before looking at me. "Who is this?"

"A real human. We must thank Ocellus later," the one Twi called said, "But Where did you find this legend?"

"It was nothing." Ocellus said, "I found him falling into the Lake from the Blue Portal."

"But what about school?" said the White Unicorn,

"Oh right. We find out later, but we should bring it with us." Twilight said, "The Everfree is too dangerous for him to go to."

And thus I was greeted to this world's Ponies who assured me those are not Androids but real and magical. After greetings with the Ponies and other Races, I was enrolled to the School of Friendship high. It's just like any other schools, starting off slow because I am very inept, but this Ocellus changeling helped me through.

Then afterwards at the Principals Office to explain about my home and culture. Twilight was upset that those Androids I explained replaced me. Even Applejack was ticked off that a family evicted one of their own so an Android become the replacement. Twilight then decided to keep me in Equestria as the new permanent student.

Afterwards, I managed to get to know the Six Students. The yak called Yona, a Pony Sandbar, Gallus the Griffon, Smolder the Dragon, Silverstream the Hippogriff that can become a Sea Pony, and Ocellus who's a Reformed Changeling.

Gallus started rough at me because he somehow hated my guts but lightly punished to make sure there is no violence. I met each of the Leaders, including Princess Celestia the ruler of Equestria. Nightmares plaguing me that my Family is making sure I stay dead and replaced by the Impersonating Android, but Princess Luna came and helped by dispelling those nightmares. Thorax's brother, Pharynx is what he called, starts toughening me out with intense training to remove my weaknesses.

As months passed, I felt that I have earned the magic of friendship. I have finally found my Interspecies Friendship, hopefully to make my Parents vommit. If they're going to keep me from having an Android as my friend, at least anything that's non-human.

Couple of Months have passed since I accepted Equestria as my new home place. I've discovered some awesome magic and was given lessons on spellcasting. I later advanced to Elemental Spells, focusing mostly on Earth, Water, average on Ice, and lessly on Fire, Air, and Lightning. This will surely help defend myself against Everfree Monsters and other crooks.

Then the time comes when Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow takes us on a Field Trip, whom learned their lessons by letting go of their competitions. I somehow find myself lost because I know how mazy the forest gets.

"Derek! Derek Ruthos!"

I paused. Someone that knows my full name could be a Family member, or a Stranger. I turned around to keep myself from surprise attacks and also from being surrounded. I noticed I'm on the other side of the road. I turn to find a person like me coming out of the forest. It has the outfit of the Android, and it's head is exactly like I have. Charcoal Black Hair brush from right to around left of my head.

I show no kindness, preparing a ball of magic frost.

"Wait. Please wait." Android pleaded, but I kept my caution on my feet.

"Why should I?" I demanded, "You Detroit Androids treated me like trash long enough."

"I'm not here to fight." Android pleaded again, "I'm just sent here to bring you back."

"Kered. Enough."

I saw a familiar face. It was my brother Bran. His hair is brown. Mine was brown once before darkened.

"Go back to the Portal, I will handle this." Bran ordered,

"Of course." He turns around and jogs back.

After a minute of staredown, he speaks.

"Derek... Long time no see..." Bran said, "Unfortunately I must cut the nice talk, to tell you that your existance is no longer needed."

"So it didn't look many years for them to decide." I snorted,

"Please... Do the right thing and let me kill you." Bran asked, "Our faith decided that your existance will bring Doom."

"Tell those faiths I will not allow that." I hissed,

"If you keep living, it will mean-"

"I don't care about what Doom or evil Prophecy you are talking about." I interrupted him, "Tell your faiths that I am not going to be a sacrifice. I will not become a Pawn of Fate."

He sighed, "So be it." then raised his arm, wielding a hi-tech wrist-braced weapon. It fires disk-shaped cutting projectiles.

With my ice magic channeled from the Ice Tome I am maining, I fired Ice Bolts and freeze those into blocks. He jumps up and unholsters his short-barreled energy rifle. I propelled myself with a jet-blast of ice to dodge the rifle's lasers, before firing icy blasts at him.

Many beams missed, but one is coming for me, so I swung my arm upwards to cast an Icy Barrier. The laser is stopped, leaving only small cracks of Ice. I repeated the Icy Barrier Spell as Bran fired a full-powered laser from his rifle. Before it can be shattered by one more charged blast, I launch my palm at the ice, launching Shards of Ice.

Bran moved out of the way, but only fewer shards left cuts on the jumpsuit of his. Bran raised his left arm to let loose a flash bang blast from his left hi-tech wrist-bracer. I covered my arms to prevent any flash.

I don't see him in front of me, but then Bran comes from behind with a Knife at my throat.

"In the name of my Faithful Lord, be sacrificed immediately!"

It didn't come. He shouted in pain from the tackle sized of a Boulder. It was Yona the Yak.

"Yak no like Trash-treaters!" Yona shouted,

"How dare you interfere." Bran shouted, about to pull out his rifle, but I stopped him with a beam of freezing. From leg to head I channeled my beam before he is finally frozen in place. I finally defeated my brother.

I then noticed that the students are watching and cheered. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were also watching. Applejack coming up to my brother Bran who gives a soft buck.

"The reason you failed Bran, is because of one thing you have underestimated." I explained, uncaring if he'll reply. "One simple thing you underestimated and it's this. The magic of Friendship."
