o.O.o
"Fan out and find them, they could not have gone far" the leader of the MP's shouted as the Pegasai began their search of the town. The team from the SGE where holed up in an abandoned house that was for sale. First thing in the morning they would have Beckett register the house to his name. But for now they had a more pressing matter to deal with, Fluttershy.
Although the bullets where not lethal, the risk of infection was high and Beckett was most concerned about that. Fluttershy wasn't shouting in pain or anything but as they cleared the table she winced and let out her small yell of pain.
"You aint felt anything until I get that bullet out. The one in your wing punched straight through, but the one in your leg I need to get out now" Beckett said as Carter Helped get his supplies ready. Fluttershy had Sheppard holding her upper body and head upright whilst Beckett un-wrapped the Bandages that were soaked in her blood. Looking at the entry wound he began he made a few notes.
"Looks like they use a Form of 12.5MM rounds" Carter said to Sheppard. He nodded as Beckett began the task of retrieving the bullet.
Using his wings as a way to operate his tweezers he began the touchy process. Pushing the tweezers in Fluttershy flinched and groaned as he dug deeper.
"Keep 'er still will ya" Beckett shouted as Carter helped hold her. Sheppard spoke into Fluttershy's ear.
"I know this is painful but will be better once it's out" Sheppard said as he grabbed a piece of dowel that was lying on the chair and placed it in her mouth "Bite down hard" he said. She did so as Beckett nodded.
"Okay, on three… 3!" he said ripping the bullet out and Fluttershy bite down hard and winced at the pain. Then it subsided. She was crying from the pain as Sheppard took the dowel out of her mouth.
"Right let's get this bandaged up" he said. The worst was over now at least for Fluttershy.
o.O.o
"RAINBOWDASH AND SPITFIRE would you get down here NOW!" shouted a rather pissed off Colt. Rainbow walked down with Spitfire in tow.
"What?" they both said in unison. The two were busy discussing various matters of college life before their dad had called them down. After the events of the night before; Spitfire had another level of respect for her younger sister. Any guy that could get her drunk twice and bang her was good in her eyes.
"What do you two have to say about this?" the colt said slamming a paper into the desk. They looked at it, a Photo of the two were standing proudly "Stunt performers? Seriously"
"What it's something we're good at so why not Dad?" Rainbow said standing proud "I can do the Sonic Rain Boom and you still don't care!" She shouted. Spitfire sighed.
"What Rainbow here is trying to say is that it's a hobby of ours so why not let us?" Spitfire said.
"You and your Sister need to learn there is more to life then performing. If I catch you doing this again, there will be consequences" the colt said, both Spitfire and Rainbow looked glared at him.
"I'm top of my class at collage and this is my hobby!" Rainbow Dash said back. Pissed that he was not giving her the Respect that she rightly deserved, this was what she was good at; no other Pegasus she knew had the Rainbow Contrails.
"Look I'm going to go practice" Rainbow said leaving the Colt and her sister standing there.
o.O.o
"Well this isn't exactly how I expected to spend this mission; Holed up in an abandoned building waiting for Becket to get back. I'm normally more active than this" Sheppard complained in the lounge room. Fluttershy was in one of the bedrooms sleeping off the morphine and the pain of the bullet wounds.
Carter was keeping busy by grabbing various maps and a few PDA's that they brought with them. Hopefully they could go out and find the missing Members of SGE Fast. The Wings on her back were now a subconscious reaction rather than her doing it. She knew the Re-percussions of this. She may not want to become human again.
"Carter, you okay? You have been awfully silent" Sheppard asked, Carter looked at him. Sheppard cocked his head to the side.
"Ah, I'm just getting this weird feeling in the shoulders" she said, shrugging off her previous thoughts, Sheppard looked at her, then began to massage behind her wings. "This is highly unorthodox but oh that's good" she muttered
"Better?" Sheppard asked
"Much" she responded, her wings going to full stretch whilst he was doing it. She blushed and didn't know why. Sheppard looked at his ranking officer, she was stressing out since the last incident with Fluttershy getting shot and was driving her mad.
"Stop driving yourself to exhaustion. You do enough of that at Atlantis" Sheppard said as Carter shook him off and lay on the couch that was in the lounge room. Her wings were still fully stretched, but she was trying to relax them.
"I know" she said back, her wings now fully stowed "It's this whole Pegasus thing, I'm getting these weird thoughts every now and then about not wanting to go back"
"Sounds like you need a break, well whilst we are here then perhaps we can sort this out" Sheppard said looking over the PDA's and maps. "What's the plan of attack then?"
"Basically? Wait for the whole military issue to blow over and then find the missing SGE personnel" She said flatly resting her head on a cushion. None of them had slept in the last 48 hours so where all tired.
"That really doesn't sound like a 'Carter' esc' plan to me…" Sheppard said only just noticing that she had fallen asleep on the couch. "…ah" he muttered. Grabbing a blanket that he found in the closet he draped it over Carter.
As Becket entered the main door, he looked at Sheppard in the kitchen (As it was straight down the corridor form the main door) and walked up to him.
"Did I miss something?" he asked, Sheppard shook his head
"Carters asleep in the lounge and Flutters is upstairs sleeping the morphine off" he stated holding out a sandwich with his hoof
"How the hell are you doing tha?" he asked, Sheppard shrugged
"No idea. Pony magic?" Sheppard explained sarcastically
"That's unicorns you dolt" Beckett muttered as he went up the stairs to check up on Fluttershy
o.O.o
Emerald Fire was busy sitting at Rainbow Dash's training area. Out skirts of town just near what is known as 'the wastes' (nothing but gasses between Rainbow Falls and the next town called Cloudsville). Here they could do anything without having to worry about the MP's or her father.
"Hey Emerald, you wanna see something really cool" Rainbow dash asked, Emerald Fire looked at her.
"Sure, go ahead" he said as she darted off upwards. Emerald Fire looked up and saw her plummeting towards the wastes. That's when she shot past him and detonated the Sonic Rain-boom just above him and darted off at Mach 10 speeds, this lead to a Wake of rainbow to get sent flying in all directions. Emerald Fire just sat there gobsmacked as she landed in front of him with a childish grin on her face.
"That's a sonic Rain-boom" she said proudly to have Emerald Fire just sit there. "Awe that's the expression I like to see"
"I don't believe what I just saw" he muttered only to have Rainbow take flight again
"Awe yeah" Rainbow Dash said as Emerald Fire shook off his stupor and flew next to her
"How the hell did you just do that? Can you teach me?"
"Sure thing, follow me: she said darting off with Emerald fire in tow.
o.O.o
4 days later
The Class sat down for yet another lecture on aero-physics, after the events of the last week, they had to find a new Pegasus to teach them and the juniors smirked and laughed it off. Some were even saying that the teacher was one of the wanted Criminals that caused the library to be shut down until 2 days ago.
Rainbow Dash, Emerald Fire and Sarge all sat about midway in the amphitheatre when the whole room went quite. Walking in was a single light brown Pegasus with blonde mane.
She sighed at the gathered Pegasai.
"Right then, let's get to it shall we?" The Pegasus said.
Colonel Samantha Carter was standing at the front of these Pegasai and was expected to teach them Aero-physics? Shaking her head at what Beckett had organised for them. Carter and Beckett will work at the collage as teachers whilst Fluttershy and Sheppard would remain behind as a Bullet wounded Pegasus would arouse suspicion as is.
She looked at the gathered Pegasai and noticed one thing, the Cyan Pegasus with rainbow mane sitting there intently. Turning around her mind was on two things, firstly Physics and Aero-physics were the same and secondly was that one of the ponies they were looking for? Groaning, she began to go over the material for the day that her 'predecessor' had said they needed to learn.
After the 30 min long lecture the Pegasai began to file out bar three.
"Can I help you three at all?" Carter asked, she hadn't even introduced herself at all as the White Pegasus form of Beckett walked in but kept his distance.
"Yeah what happened to the other Teach and who are you?" Emerald Fire said Carter laughed
"I forgot that part, Names Proff. Carter. The other professor has a bad case of bronchitis and won't be in until the end of the semester" Carter explained.
"Ah, wait, Sam Carter is it, I think I know you from ARGHHH" Rainbow Dash said getting a migraine at the same time. Clutching her head in pain Beckett ran over.
"Who tha' hell are you?" Sarge asked, Beckett sent him a death glare
"Dr Beckett, I teach Medicine, what happened?" Beckett said to Rainbow Dash who was still clutching her head
"I don't know" Rainbow Dash said as blocked memories of Carter came back to her in a sudden rush. Beckett and Carter looked at each other, what the hell was going on.
"Every pony stay where they are" 3 MP's Said coming in, two were armed to the teeth with the 12.5MM SMG's attached their Battle harnesses. The leader had a device in hoof.
Rainbow Dash looked at them then at the device and Screamed and ear piercing shriek before trying to crawl away from the MP Colt leader. Who simply walked up to her and aimed at her cerebral cortex and fired, Rainbow Dash just froze in place. Her whole body was just as though frozen as the Colt walked up to her then glared at Carter and Beckett.
"Tell me what happened here!" he demanded the Colonel, Carter simply shrugged.
"No idea, those three want to know about a certain Physics question when she spaced out" Carter said flatly, the MP leader nodded.
"Alright, well we need to take her to our medical facility for treatment, I would recommend that you all keep this quiet" he said as the Two other Pegasai picked her up. Still frozen in place and took her away.
"Well that answers that question" Beckett said softly to Carter who nodded. This was getting Weird, they had alien tech and were using it at will. They would need to think of another strategy to get her back. But they needed talk to Sheppard and Fluttershy first
o.O.o
"Time to rise and Shine young one" a Dark and Mechanical voice said to the cyan Pegasus that was Rainbow Dash. She groaned, and then tried to sit up but found her body was unresponsive.
"Do not bother trying to move, the after effects of the Muscle freezer is quite extraordinary" came the voice "however your voice should be working just fine. I'm here to talk with you"
"Like I believe that, where am I?" Rainbow Dash asked. The Voice let out a small mechanical chuckle
"In the middle of what you Pegasai call the wastes. My base of operations, though like you would care" the Voice said
"Who are you?"
"Why the first Pegasai to ask, ha-ha, my name is not necessary. I am what you can call the 'Voice' of reason" 'Reason' said. Rainbow Dash scoffed.
"Nice name mecha dude" She said flatly "Why am I here then?" She asked the 'voice of reason' let out a small chuckle.
"Why, you're here because you're an Enigma, a challenge a puzzle that needs solving" 'reason' said but continued "For example, your filly friends Spitfire and Soarin, both are members of the Equestrian flyers known as the Wonderbolts. Your Current Fling Emerald Fire was the Librarian tasked of looking over that massive ring thing and Sarge was well, a simple mistake. But you, oh but you are the enigma in itself. You worship the Wonderbolts that much I can gather but for some reason I cannot fathom you're other memories"
"What, what do you mean?"
"I am the ruler of this planet of Pegasai, and you came from beyond the ring. Meaning that you question me and my rule given the Chance" Voice of reason said flatly, Rainbow Dash groaned
"Rainbow Dash, I have quite a repertoire of skills considering who I really am" the door slid open and a methodical thump of metal on metal sounded. Rainbow tried to move her head and managed a glimpse of the voices owner. As her eyes widened she screamed before being sedated again.
"Ah my dear Rainbow Dash, your mind is going to be the best puzzle I have ever tried to solve" the voice of reason said. The Pegasus that stood there had 4 sleek metallic limbs with a pair of Red Wings and sandy yellow mane. Her left eye was only an implant replacement and she had the scars of a replacement voice box.
She smirked; this would be fun figuring out this little puzzle. But first, some alterations would be needed to be done to this enigma.
"Prep her for Transplantation" the 'Voice of reason' said to an orderly who nodded.
"Aye milady" he said grabbing the now fully relaxed form of Rainbow Dash and placed her on a gurney that was wheeled out of the holding cell.
o.O.o
"What? She just had a massive headache then the MP's rocked up?" Fluttershy asked Carter who nodded.
"It looked as though the Mind altering devices they use may be having an adverse effect on her in particular" Beckett stated as the 4 were standing around the table of maps and PDA's
"Well if that's the case then it might because she represents the element of Loyalty" Fluttershy explained. She was limping but the wounds were healing faster than expected so she would be flying in no time.
"The element of what sorry" Sheppard asked, Fluttershy looked at him
"Element of harmony, she represents Loyalty while I represent Kindness. I though you knew about that?" she said, Carter and Beckett looked at her. It was Beckett the raised the next point
"If that's the case, then she may be partially immune to the MP's brain devices" Beckett explained "But I would need to run a few tests with gear that I don't have unless…"
"Unless what Carson?" Sheppard said
"The Collage would have the machines I need and as I'm teaching medicine…"
"You would have access to the Machines, clever. But we need the blood works of Rainbow Dash to do it" Beckett said
"Umm, what about?" Fluttershy tried to say before being interrupted
"Considering they took her that's out of the question"
"Guys" she tried again
"Then what should we do?" Carter asked. Fluttershy had enough
"GUYS!" Fluttershy shouted as everyone looked at her. "I'm the element of Kindness, use my blood works then"
"Of course, derp" Becket said grabbing an empty syringe "okay this may sting a bit" he said Fluttershy looked at him then winced
"Not as bad as being shot" she muttered to which Beckett laughed
o.O.o
"Damn I'm good" Voice of reason muttered to her Cyborg self. She was looking at the Tube that held Rainbow Dash. She tapped the glass with her hoof and smirked, the body didn't move. That was fine, she would break Rainbow Dash in the most simplest of ways, removing ones freedom.
"Milady, the process is complete. The Transfer was successful and the new form for Rainbow Dash is ready to join the others" the orderly said, the Cyber-Pegasus smirked. This would be far too much fun. Walking to the new rooms that her Ship had carried the various species she collected for 'fun', she found exactly what she was looking for.
Standing in there was a pair of Blue bird like creatures with 3 crest feathers and long gorgeous tails, they had chest fur. They looked at the over shield that held them in the enclosure, and thanks to various Space Time things this was the top of a mountain like room. The Two birds screeched as they saw the Cyber-Pegasus and a metal slab.
"Welcome to your new home until you decide to tell me what I want to know. Oh I forgot to mention Dashy" the Pegasus said landing on the slab "I had to have your memories restored to you, enjoy" with a Fleshy whumpf the Pegasus kicked Rainbow Dash over the edge and with a sickening crunch the new Creature landed on the top of the mountain. As the Shields kicked in the Cyber-pegasus smirked. This would be to fun to watch.
o.O.o
Every part of Rainbow Dash felt wrong. From her legs to her fore-legs to her wings, everything felt remarkably off. That's when she heard two voices, once distinctly male and the other female.
"I don't care if that bitch upstairs flung her down here, it does not mean I have to care for its safety"
"Black how could you say such a thing. The Cyber-pegasus kidnapped us both when we were flying. What's to say she didn't do the same for this poor fledgling?" the female to the male, black apparently
"Silver, you need to respect the ways of the Cuno more. Given the chance I would happily rip to shreds that bitch with everything I have. If I could that is"
Rainbow Dash opened one of her eyes to see two arguing blue birds. She tried to move but found that nothing was responding to her thoughts. The male looked out and Took flight around the mount to cool off. The Female, sighed and walked up to her. She shut her eyes hoping that she didn't notice, only to hear a small musical laugh.
"I know you're conscious Fledgling" Silver said Rainbow Dash looked up to see the Bird looking at her. Rainbow Dash tried to speak but found that her mouth refused to talk.
"Is there something wrong, Can you move?" Silver asked, Rainbow Dash tried to move and managed to sit upright. That's when her mane got in her eyes. Using her wings she brushed it away and looks at the bird. The last vestiges of the paralysis wearing off
"What in the hay is going on here?" she asked "and what the hay happened to me?" she asked looking at herself. She was exactly the same as the bird before her but had a rainbow tail.
"I was hoping that you could tell me. I've been locked away here by that 'voice of reason' Cyber-pegasus" Silver said. Rainbow Dash gulped. What had happened to her?
