A/N. I intend to stick with the plan on the last chapter to a certain extent but I will need to make some chapters gory. I will notify in the headers if anything will be out of place. And if you have anything against Twilicorn then DEAL WITH IT! It's now MLP history.

Chapter 3

The sky was dark. Twilight Sparkle stood on her balcony and watched as the night sky was brought to life by the vibrant meteor shower. It was in the small hours of the morning and by this time, all her friends had gone home to their beds. Spike was snoring loudly in the main room. "What the hell will I do with these?" Twilight asked herself for the millionth time, whilst flapping her wings. An especially bright meteor caught her eye and as she watched, it broke through the upper atmosphere and plummeted to the ground, falling towards Sweet Apple Acres. She watched in terror as the thing fell and as it disappeared behind the hills. She waited nervously. A small explosion rocked Ponyville as the meteor impacted. Twilight fluttered to the ground and she ran towards the impact site.

When she summited the hill she surveyed the damage. There was a large crater that destroyed at least 50 apple trees, and in the centre was a smoking meteor. As Twilight ran and flew towards the crater she saw the Apples running through the orchard and shouting indistinctly to each other. Twilight reached the hole first and within seconds Applejack joined her.
"What's goin' on here then?" She asked.
"I don't know," replied Twilight uncertainly.
"Well, what you don't know just destroyed part my orchard," Said Applejack angrily.
"What's this?" asked Twilight as the meteor started to shake. There was an audible crack and fractures appeared around it. Then after a few minutes of silence, there was another crack followed by the sound of metal hitting rock. The outer casing sheared away. Underneath there was more metal, but this time of a more living quality, more animated. This metal wobbled for half a minute before moving separately, independent from the other one. They were wings. Hidden inside these wings was a cloaked figure with a hood shading its face. His cape should have been brown, but only spots showed through now. The robe was horribly blood stained a bright red that was almost luminous. It moved its head. One red light was visible through the darkness. It surveyed them individually, stopping on Twilight for longer. When it had gone around once, its eyes went to the ground. The wings flared. They were huge, about five or six times that of a normal Pegasus. He flapped them once before saying, in a monotonous "look upon the horrors your leaders have created, and bow before them." And with this ominous statement it tore the ruined garment of its body, revealing… A large earth stallion with a coat of an unnatural crimson, like that of Big Mcintosh's but of a darker shade. Its left eye had been replaced by a strange looking triangular device with a red light in the middle and its right ear was non-existent, substituted for a swivelling radar dish in a protective cover. The wings were melded onto the skin as if there was no seam; connected like the Sun and the Moon in a never ending cycle. Its right foreleg was a not organic either. When none of the ponies bowed anger flared in its one real eye. By this time, all the shards of outer casing had melted and were a swirling pool of molten metal and when the Thing stepped into it. Its body went rigid as the liquid flowed up its legs, encasing them with the last flows. The metal travelled all over the body encasing it in body armour that looked impenetrable. Even when it had gone all over the Things body there was still left over metal. It opened a port in its bionic leg. The inside was fleshy and red and all the excess liquid flowed down this orifice. The thing then stood still for three minutes. Its red eye seemed to be flickering to Twilight but she dismissed it as a trick of the light. What was actually happening behind that unearthly gaze was numbers and lines and methods flashing green or red, calculating the most time and energy efficient way to kill all the inferior biological organisms in the vicinity. It came up with a plan. The monstrosity took a step forward with its front left leg. As the pressure increased, the bone broke (This was all part of the plan). It would assimilate the first to run to his aid. Big Mcintosh was first to get to it. The robotic leg shot out in a way that it could not have if it was biological, it connected with Big Mac's head, snapping his neck but not breaking his skull. His limp body collided with the floor with a sickening crunch. The nanomites within the Things body quickly repaired its leg with the same efficiency as they broke it. The Monster took off in the stallion's direction, beating his wings down hard creating a blast that almost knocked all the frozen spectators off their feet and would have rivalled Rainbow Dashes wing power. It landed next to Big Mcintosh's body and put its metal leg on his snapped neck. Within seconds, his body convulsed as one million nanomite units entered his blood stream. They swam to his heart and with half their numbers, restarted it. They then went around and fixed all his broken bones, veins, nerves, organs and skin before replicating in his dying blood cells. This whole affair was over in twenty seconds from the broken leg to the assimilation of Big Macintosh. "This will be how your world ends," the Thing said to the nearby ponies, "I am the Thing that escaped." As it spoke, more meteors fell and impacted near Ponyville but with less force than the earlier one. "My name is Inmate 73," It stated, "But I was once called Falfrea Crimson, and this shall be my name once again!"

A/N. Sorry about the lack of paragraphing but I couldn't put any in. This is a bit of a dense read in my opinion but I think you will all cope fine. Sorry about the lack of dialog in this chapter but it needed lots of description.
