Day One Hundred and Two

That day I was laying on a cloud, Fluttershy had given me the job to keep an eye on Discord, but he had done literally nothing that day, stiff as a statue, hasn't moved a micron since Fluttershy scolded him yesterday.

So there I was, laying there, clouds are surprisingly comfortable, when I heard a scream, looking over the edge I saw a red Pegasus being chased into an alley by a pair humans with pistols.

I got curious and decided to see what's happening, I learned during my time traveling that people never look up, so using that knowledge, I was able to listen in without being seen.

"You and your kind got Joe sick as a horse, the president may say you're still US citizens, but I ain't giving you that luxury, you oversized flea bag!" One of the men said as he raised his gun, moving into action, I swooped down and knocked the gun from his hand, the other man, witnessing what happened, raised his gun to fire at me before being knocked to the ground by the pink mare.

After disposing of their guns, which meant putting myself between the men and the firearms, the two men got up and ran off, saying they're not getting infected today or something like that, I wasn't listening as I looked towards the mare. "Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, thanks to you, I'm Julie, thanks for saving me, I've only been this way for two days, so I haven't learned to fly yet." She said, I raised an eyebrow at that. ‘It took me an entire morning to figure that out, why is she having trouble?’ I pondered on that, thinking why this is the case, remembering the fact that I seemed much more used to trotting on fours than Derrick did, even Julie, here's gallop was a bit unbalanced, I started to realize that I seamed special, but why?

I took a moment to think what this meant, then I realized something, I can fly and she can't, maybe I could fix that. I smiled. "Want me to teach you?" I asked.

She seemed surprised by my question, but nodded her head, I had the feeling this was going to be a long afternoon.

In a flash of pink, Twilight had returned with a phenomenal amount of books, when I suggested the idea of working together we decided to that the first thing is to pool our respective knowledge in one place. “Alright, I brought everything from theoretical magics to advanced mana manipulation.” Twilight said.

"Great, you work on your side of the cure, I'll start working on my side." I said.

The cure came in two parts, Twilight's part was a spell that transformed the target into a form defined by DNA, while my part was scanning both pony DNA as well as DNA obtained from H1P1 for a common gene, hopefully obtaining the gene for producing Pestis.

Well, I say that, but the other lab had already delivered three different genes that were identical in both sequences, so all I had to do was to test them.

I inserted each gene into a bacteria cell that was isolated with only food on the petri dish with it, now I just have to wait.

Twilight's work was a bit more complicated and would require both of us to complete, but she would be doing most of the work.

Of course it's going to take a while before this gets done, so until then, let's just hope nothing too major happens.

It took a few hours, but I was able to teach Julie how to fly. "This, is so. Awesome!" Julie said, soaring through the sky performing (or at least trying to) aerial maneuvers while I watched to make sure she didn't become a living... Formerly living pancake.

Eventually, Julie and I settled down on a cloud. “It’s so amazing, like for the first time in my life I’m truly free.” She said, and I could only agree with her, like the first moment you feel the wind in your mane brings about a feeling more powerful than anything I could do with hands.

We basically made small talk from there until Julie said something that caught my interest.

She sighed. "You know, what happened back there wasn't an isolated incident, humans are attacking people like us all over, and very few of us can fight back." She said.

I didn't know what to say to that, but I knew that something had to be done.

"I have an idea, let's build a bunch of safe places for everypony." I said.

She looked at me and said. "What do you mean by that?" She asked.

I said it simply. "We're going to build hidden settlements." I then got back in the air. "Come on, I think I know a good place for one of these." I told her.

I then went South East at top speed with Julie not far behind.(but still a ways behind.)

Unbeknownst to either of us was the flash of light from behind me.

Author's Note:

Hey guess what guy's, I'm back!

Alright, breaks over, it took a year just about to get started on this chapter and then three weeks to finish it, I'll try to get these out at the old one to two day's, but no promises.

Anyway, welcome to act two, as you can see, we are starting with setup, I've had the idea of Zero creating settlements for awhile, she just needed a push in the right direction.

Other than that, that flash was Zero gaining her mark, unfortunately, I couldn't draw her a mark to save my life, I'm a terrible artist.

So that's up to you guys, just so you know, her special talent is helping others accept themselves, whether that means teaching them how to fly or walk, or helping them in whatever other way she can.

Holy crap i forgot about this

[Kusac]

If there is one thing I detest about transformation genre, which I nominally love, is that way too much of it seeks oblivion. While not enough to ruin my enjoyment of this story, I do think it would have been better experiences and instincts changing Zero's personality, rather than the virus basically killing him and leaving behind another creature that happens to have some of Allen's memories.

6917339 I've said it before and I'll say it again, Zero is still Allan, the only thing the TF did was give her a few instincts, erase her name, and gave her a new calling in life, personality was left untouched.

6917504 My mistake, It has been a while and I only remembered the hiding out from the world and then suddenly turned very gregarious. It also doesn't help the attachment I feel for my name and dread I would feel about forgetting it. It is kinda one of my phobias.

[TieID]

Holy Magpie,this story is still alive.

[gamer52599]

6918379 Yes indeed, again, sorry for the wait, this is what happens when one say's "I'll get to it later," every time they look at that blank page, it's entirely my fault and I'll start trying to make up for lossed time to Youtube and someplace I've been on a lot recently, Deviant Art.

[bonberjean]

Aww... just when the story was getting good.

[AvoidingFever17]

Oh no NOT ANOTHER MAGICAL VIRUS TURNING PEOPLE TO PONIES!
