A limo rolls to a stop outside a warehouse in the middle of the Utah Desert. The door clicks open and a large man steps out of it.

Man: Tch never did like coming to this good awful place.

A few moments later a woman wearing a lab coat stepped out the other side.

Woman: Calm yourself sir this won't take long.

Man: It better not.

She lead him to a cactus nearby and opened up a hidden panel on the side away from the road she punched in a code and a hatch rolled back revealing a stair case they walked down to an elevator and road it down excatly 1 mile underground where a massive complex had been secretly built.

Woman: Impressed?

Man: Hardly you show me what I came for and don't bother trying to butter me up.

Woman: (Tch stubborn old bastard but then again he has to be.)

The woman leads him on through the complex in some areas there were bizzare creatures like Cockatrices Manicores even brightly colored little horses playing about. In chambers in another area scientists were using devices powered by glowing cylinders to move objects around in the air like they were psychic another used the device to set fire to an object in front of him just by snapping his fingers.

Man: *Smiles and the woman looked a bit relieved*

They came to a stop behind the most secure area of the complex they were searched then allowed in after putting on hazmat suits. Finally they reached their destination project Black hole.

Scientist: *turns around when he hears the man and woman approaching* Ah General Steel and Miss Sakura welcome!

General Steel: Cut the crap Paul where is my weapon?

Paul: My apologies sir he's right here. *He puts his hand on a nearby scanner and the protective pod opens up revealing a white earth pony with a red mane and a nuclear symbol cutie mark it was small though no larger then a colt.

General steel: Hmph smaller then I'd have liked but that should make it easier to ship it. Yes... interesting is it ready for a field test?

Paul: Just about sir we need... another month.

General steel: I'll give you a week.

Sakura: but sir he's not ready yet!

General steel: We don't have a month to wait and you know it!

The scientists flinched at his words he was right they really didn't.

General steel: I'll be back in a week with my end of the bargin prep him or else. *leaves*

One week later...

Paul: *was a mess he and his team had worked triple over time to make sure Black hole was ready in time.* Barely made it.

General Steel: *returns with a unit of solders* Okay it's time let him out.

Paul: R-right. *he activates Black hole.*

Black hole: *doesn't move at first but then his eyes suddenly open. The Iris was shaped differently you had to look close but you'd notice it was shaped like the nuclar symbol just like his cutie mark the tank drains and he lands on his hooves he was a bit shaky at first but then stood up tall.

General steel: Excellent now then men.

Solder: yes sir!

General steel: kill everyone in the room.

Paul: What!?

General steel: Your services are no longer required.

The solders open fired on every scientist in the room off in the distance more screams could be heard as Black hole just stood there soon enough it was quiet again.

General Steel: Black hole come to me.

Black hole: *trots up to General steel and looks up into his eyes his eyes just as cold as the General's.

General Steel: We are going to take a little trip come get inside.

Nearby some solders had a containment cube opened up and Black hole trotted into it and turned around robotic tendrils injected into his spine as the machine slowly attached armor to him.

General Steel: good lets move out.

Black hole watched through the tiny window watched the last of the solders destory everything in the complex the other creatures that had been there before were gone had they met a similar fate he didn't know or care about. Soon enough he was loaded into a truck outside and down the bumpy Utah roads they rolled into Salt lake city and stopped at Temple square later on he'd realize how bizzare this was here a place of worship and devotion to god and peace was he a weapon of war being unloaded in this holy place.

General Steel: Leave him here they'll take care of the rest.

With that the Solders left him alone near a fountain he watched it bubble and splash as the machines inside the crate kept at their duties they caused him great pain but he ignored it mostly because he didn't know what pain was or how to react. At last a group of men picked him up and carried him into a building near the temple a large statue of a bearded man was inside and they took him down into it's basement. From there he was carried down a long tunnel and placed in a room similar to the one he was created in. Inside that room was another group of Scientists along with Miss Sakura.

Sakura: Good he's okay lets begin.

Hand scanners opened up on the box and each scientist put their hands on it this opened up a hatch on the top and they installed a part onto the box that gave the robotic hands which had stopped their process for a time new parts to work with finally a wrapped book was placed by Black hole's feet as the box reclosed.

Sakura: That's all we can do for him lets open the portal.

The scientists worked together to open a portal nearby and robotic treads popped out of the box and started wheeling him toward the portal the scientists stood on either side of it and Saluted Black hole.

Sakura: Good luck little one the fate of Humanity rests on your little shoulders.

Scientist: Give 'em hell solder!

Scientist2: Don't lose faith.

And with that the little window closed and locked as he breached the portal the box started to rattle and shake violently here we go was what Black hole would later think to himself.

Chapter 1

Falling skies

The rattling got more and more intense and G forces from beneath him indicated he was falling at a very rapid pace. The crate broke part around him and a shield came up keeping the friction around him from cooking him alive.

????: first stage speration complete.

It was a computer voice female from the sounds of it.

????: Beginning stage two.

The rest of the crate broke away Black hole watched the book that was packed him fall away as well.

????: Warning critcal error detected in shielding.

The heat shield turned off and he was bombard by heat and energy.

????: Danger reaching terminal volicity!

and with that he did but instead of dying... He exploded with energy a rainbow of colors burst off of him and the devices that had been installed on him broke part.

????: *voice trials of behind him must have been attached to the devices on him.*

He was heading for the ground way to fast if he hit like this!

From behind him he heard a loud boom similar to the one he made and he was snatched up by something.

????: Don't worry kid I got ya!

Who was that it didn't matter he was safe for the moment going faster and faster finally things slowed down the strain of it all was to much though and he passed out.

his savior landed on the ground soon after and looked him over.

????: What the!? No way...

Bewildered it picked him up and took him somewhere safe. When he came around he heard voices arguing.

????: I'm telling you he's not normal!

????2: Rainbow dash hush he's trying to sleep.

Rainbow dash: Twilight listen to me there is something weird about that kid I know it!

Twilight: Go home Rainbow dash we'll figure it out in the morning.

Rainbow dash: Fine. *slams the door behind her*

Twilight: *sighs*

Black hole: *sits up and rubs his head it was throbbing.* Ow...

It was then he realized he just spoke! How did he do that?

Twilight: Oh your awake!

Black hole: *Tries to speak but it comes out a garbled mess.*

Twilight: Hmm... you didn't hit your head...

Black hole: *tries to speak again but finds he can't speak words properly.

Twilight: Don't strain yourself your going to be okay. *It's then she looked at his eyes* What's wrong with your eyes! Maybe I should call the doctor just hold on.

She leaves and he tries to sit up he wasn't in pain but he looked over his body he was riddled with puncture marks clearly from the devices being ripped of him as he fell from the sky he was covered in blood but felt no pain yet... he could feel his mind starting to work not just a mindless drone but he was beginning to think on his own problem is he didn't know much of anything so he just sat there. Time passed and the purple unicorn came back with a doctor.

Twilight: Sorry to wake you up so late but this is serious.

Doctor: *looks over Black hole* hmm his eyes are very disturbing I think he's blind.

Twilight: Oh no.

Blind? Well that wasn't true but how was he to know?

Doctor: And these markings... he's been brutally tortured from the looks of it these lacrations and stabbings look they were done by a machine of some kind his nervous system isn't fuction he doesn't feel anything I don't think I can help him.

Twilight: So it's to late?

Doctor: At this point I can offer no medical assistance I just don't know the extent of his trauma if I try to operate I might just make it worse I'm sorry if he survived the night call me. *the doctor leaves*

Twilight: You poor thing I wish I could help. *she tears up and holds him* It's going to be okay I'll be here okay?

Her body was warm Black hole could tell that much he liked how she felt and smelled hmm smells that was a new sensation he liked that too. The night dragged on he sat there staring at the wall blinking his eyes when they began to sting Twilight cleaned up the blood leaking out the best she could and bandaged him up her sheets stained crimson red after awhile she feel asleep and he felt cold it was proving difficult to keep his eyes open. the sounds started to fade and his vision blurred he closed his eyes and laid back on the bed he felt her hooves wrapped around him and he feel asleep as well a new born life about to be snuffed out for it even started.

????: Twilight! Twilight wake up!

Black hole's eyes opened the sun had come up he was still alive?

Twilight: What? *she groggily opened her eyes and felt her legs were wet she gasped and looked at Black hole who was shaking a bit* Your alive! Come on we need to get you help!

A gentle feeling of weightlessness over took him and he was then moving dripping blood along the ground Twilight burst out of her home and down the road crowds of ponies watched her gallop past and followed in concern. Hours later he guessed he must have passed out on the way he came around in a hospital bed Twilight and a whole group of ponies were looking at him.

Twilight: He's okay!

The ponies all cheered.

Nurse: It's amazing he survived the surgery.

Black hole: Surgery? *He coughed up a bit of blood*

Nurse: Easy sweetie don't try to speak you got a hole in your throat we don't want to reopen.

black hole laid his head back and took a few deep breaths he was in a lot of pain and had so many new sensations it was worse then dying he decided on.

????: So what was the damage Nurse Red heart?

Red heart: It was terrible the poor thing was brutally tortured his vocal cords badly damaged and don't even get me started on his eyes. *she went on about his injuries*

Twilight: So will he be alright?

Red heart: yes in time but the problem is he'll need a lot of intensive care for a while and no pony has stepped forward to claim him.

Fluttershy: your not going to send him away are you?

Red heart: No I'll try to keep him here as long as I can but I can only take care of him for so long.

Apple Jack: And we don't got's an orphanage anymore more neither not since the mayor passed that no pony left behind bill.

Rarity: well can't one of us take the little darling in?

Twilight: I can't I'm already taking care of Spike Owlicious and and Peewee.

Apple Jack: Apple bloom is a hoof full already sides Granny smith is starting to go Senile.

Rainbow dash: I'd take him but he's not a pegasus so he can't stay with me.

Fluttershy: I'd love to take him but angel doesn't like other ponies that much and I got some dangerous animals to take care of right now.

Pinkie pie: I don't think the cakes want another mouth to feed...

The girls and the nurse sighed there was just no one in a position to take him in.

Red heart: Well don't you worry I'll make sure he's safe and I've already asked the mayor to get word to Canterlot and all the other cities we'll find this colt's home don't you worry.

a week past and Black hole was in a full body cast by now unable to move from the effects of his follow up surguries he was in constant pain was this to be his lot in life to suffer like this? That night he heard the nurses talking outside his room.

Nurse Red heart: I see... *gets off the phone* There goes new colt city...

Nurse Tender heart: So that's it then no one is missing a colt?

Red heart: Not matching his discribtion anyway.

Nurse pure heart: So what do we do now?

Red heart: I have no idea sis...

The triplets sighed in defeat there really was nothign they could do and they couldn't keep him at their tiny clinic forever either nor was taking him home with them an option.

Pure heart: We can't just force him into the streets he can't even move!

Tender heart: But we can't keep him here either he's in a cast yes but he can be safely moved now.

Red heard: There must be something we can do.

Pure heart: What about the princess?

Tender heart: Pure heart! The very idea!

Pure heart: What do we do then we're running out of options he has to be moved out tonight there is a patient coming from in who got hurt bad on the road we have to move him.

In the end the sisters had no choice the critcal patient soon arrived and they were forced to lift him off the bed onto his feet he had enough range of motion to move on his own but that was about it.

Red heart: *tearing up as she forces him out the door* I'm sorry I truly am but you can't stay here anymore. *she locks the door behind her and the sisters get to work trying to help the dying patient.*

Black hole felt a knot form in his chest and a salty liquid leave his eyes he was crying he didn't like this feeling at all he banged on the door making a cry like noise he was bewildered what was he suppose to do!? but the nurses ignored him and he shuffled away tears dripping down his face. He limped through town and the pain got worse why won't this feeling go away? It was loneliness he felt and it was almost all consuming. He didn't make it to far for he tripped and fell on the ground he could have gotten up but didn't try he just laid on the ground crying more why was he even brought into this world? What did the scientist and General steel want him to do anyway? He had nothing no clue no home and no nothing. He sobbed on the ground as the street lights flickered and shut off he gasped and looked around it was really quiet all of a sudden it was then he felt the same weightlessness from before something had him with it's magic and he was soon up high in the air it was to dark to see. A few more tears rolled down his face but the magic whisked them away.

Black hole: *croaks barely able to speak* H-hello?

What ever had him didn't speak and it carried him off towards the forest it flew for over an hour then set down in a small clearing which then closed over head the magic ended and he started to fall but was caught by the creature's mouth and it wondered off in the darkness with him he had no idea where it was taking him. After awhile it stepped into a cave it seemed and glowing green objects filled his sight he heard chattering and the buzzing of wings off in the distance he hear a voice yelling.

????: Well where is he!

????2: My queen I don't know he should have reported back by now he might have been captured.

????: Great that's all I need find him now!

????3: my queen he's returned and he has something!

????: This better be good!

The one carrying Black hole headed toward the voice and that's when he saw her... Queen Chrysalis of the Changlings.

Chrysalis: hmph so there you are what do you got there?

The changling holding Black hole puts him down.

Drone: My lady I watched this creature fall from the sky he was the one you sensed.

Chrysalis: Really? *she perks up a little and looks him over.*

Drone: I investigated posed as the doctor it's just as you predicted he was very resilient dispite bleeding almost to dead here he is a week later on his feet after treatment.

Black hole: (Am I really that special?)

Chrysalis: Yes you are.

Black hole: *wheezes and coughs*

Chrysalis: Easy little one you are still hurt but... you show amazing resilience I can read your mind just think what you have to say.

Black hole: (I... don't know what to say I don't have a purpose no pony wants me and I don't know what the General wants me to do...)

Chrysalis: Hmm General huh... I see well you are right no pony wants so it's a good thing... we aren't ponies.

Black hole: *looks up at her confused*

Chrysalis: We are not ponies little one we always have room in our folds for more you aren't a pony either are you Black hole? You are something more...

Black hole: *nods his head*

Chrysalis: We the Changlings offer you sanctuary do you accept?

Black hole: *clears his throat* Yes...

Chrysalis: *grins* Then I welcome you home Young Black hole!

The changlings around him all cheered and he looked around excited the knot in his chest was gone he was welcomed for the first time.

Chrysalis: (Now then... to get started on my new plan.)
