Invasion of the Clones

[Arcel/Mythic Swirl]

Mythic Swirl was a brillent Illusionist, having devoted most his life to studying them and how they worked, unlike in time line proper where his main source of income was using the illusions for artistic displays with research being a side hobby when he was in the mood.

He also didn't stop at the same point, where the original considered the reprocussions and stopped, this one had not. He had worked long and hard, but finaly had succeaded in doing something no other unicorn in all Equestria had even considered. Using a special ring that he placed around his horn to help focus his magics, he had created the worlds first Sentiant Illusion, a copy of himself on top of that, after all, who better to help with further research. They had talked for a short time already, Mythic absolutly gitty with his creation, not seeming to notice the eerie calmness he had about him.

The Unicorn paused, he had been writing down his results in a journal when he realized something, "... what should I call you, since you have sentiance, its only right that you should pick your own name," the researcher offered.

The illusion thought for a moment and grinned, "Mythic Swirl, it is my name," he said, eyes half closing in a dark grin.

The real one chuckled again, "I'm sorry, but thats my name as you know, it would be a bit confusing if there were 2 of us," he said, turning to the Clone, stepping back now that it was alot closer, the look in his eyes making him nervous.

"Well, guess we will have to fix that then," the clone chuckled, before the room went dark with a flux of magical energy from the clone.
=============================
Ponyville, such a nice little town, about a 2 hour journy from Mythic Swirls home and lab. He slowly started to approach the town, a grin on his face, and a bag full of those strange rings that his creator had made.

He looked exactly like his creator, even had the feeling of a real pony to him, and thanks to the ring that stll was attached to his trapped creators horn, he himself could even preform magic. But the way he carried himself was a bit off, his personality far from the originals.

He grinned to himself as he started heading into town, the hunt for Unicorns was on.

((OOC: Completely Alternate Time line, semi-horror/thriller genra, more monster movie-ish, no graphic scenes please though... oh, and it should be noted, only unicorns can be cloned... for now at least. So, anypony up to falling victem/trying to figure out what the heck is going on?))

OOC: Using my OC for this.

Sunset Sprint hurtled away from Ponyville, a grin on his face. He was the fastest Pegasus in Ponyville right now, and he was training to become the fastest ever. He didn't have any aspirations, or anything; he was just an average pony. Who wanted to be the best. He turned, preparing to return to Ponyville, when he saw a strange unicorn, smiling as he trotted along a path. Whatever could be going on here? While he had no respect for earth ponies, unicorns were powerful. Unicorns FRIGHTENED him.

Turning completely, he flew over o see this strange pony.

Typewryter was still fast asleep at home after a long night of work, so Munin took a little solo flight to stretch her wings. As she flew through the air, she noticed a strange pegasus pony approaching her master's friend Arcel, and decided to see what was going on. She soared down and gracefully perched on Arcel's horn.
"Caw!"

[Arcel/Mythic Swirl]

The unicorn continued on his way, then noticed a shadow, he paused and looked up, cuiously watching the winged horse. If that one had seen his creator before, he would notice one major change, the lack of glasses, besides that he seemed ordinary, if a bit... unnatural for some reason that couldn't easily be determined.

((OOC:... oh crap, forgot the major change in appearance in the first post, fixed now though, glasses not on clone
Edit: Aww, ninja'd, modifying now))

The clone was so distracted by the pegasus he didn't notice the bird. When he did he glared, "What... you little feathered pest, be gone with you!" he said, deffinantly the kind of tone Arcel normaly used, and shook his head to be rid of the bird.

[typewryter]

"Caaw!?"
Munin was confused, Arcel was her master's friend, and he was always so nice to her. Munin fluttered over to Arcel's shoulder and nuzzled against him.
"Caaw? Caw caw?"

[Arcel/Mythic Swirl]

((OOC:... alright, I just decided I'm going to limit this to 3 posts per pony per hour... so this will be my last one for now unless I change my mind xDxD))

Arcel glared at the bird, then plunged his creators memories, smiling slightly as he noticed it caused him pain, then found what he needed, a larger grin came to his face, "Munin, of course, sorry for not recognizing you sooner," he said in a voice of false friendship, "Could you do me a favor?" he asked, using his magic to open one saddle bag and lift up a ring, "Could you take this to your master? Its a present for him, I am sure he will rather enjoy it," the clone chuckled lightly to himself.

[Princess Celestia]

Sunset looked curiously at the pony. This was one that he had seen from afar, but never met... Didn't that pony have glasses? Maybe it was just a show. Shrugging, he swooped in. "Hi. Who are you?"

[typewryter]

((OOC: Three per hour? K, then this'll be mine for now. My RP's the same way))
The bird looked at the shiny ring that Arcel had shown her, enchanted by it's lovely shine. She took it in her talents and flew off, eager to show her master the treasure she had obtained.

[Arcel/Mythic Swirl]

((OOC: ... alright 4 becuase I can not stop myself, I won't post again in this forum for an hour this time though! xD))

He smiled darkly as he watched the bird fly off, then shook his head and put on a more... normal smile as a mask when the Pegasus introduced himself.

He didn't repond right away, instead he looked over the winged pony a bit, ".... my name... is Mythic Swirl.... I don't believe we have met before, your name would be?" even though he asked that and his mannerisms seems to be for an introduction, his eyes remained on the wings of the Pegasus before him.

[typewryter]

Munin flew back into Typewryter's home with Arcel's ring clutched tightly in her talons and perched (balanced on one leg) Beside him as he pored over a book.
"Caw!"
"Hm? A gift?" Type took the ring with his magic and studied it for a few minutes.
"Oh, a cloning ring? Must be from Arcel, correct?"
"Caw! Caw caw!"
"Strange. He must have been a little out of it."
"Caw."
"Well there you go, he probably didn't recognize you because he forgot his glasses. Hm.... a clone would be rather useful around here, don't you think?"
"caw!"
"Oh hush, that wasn't an invitation to insult me! Anyway, I might as well."
Type began to raise the ring towards his horn, but stopped suddenly.
"Wait a minute. Arcel got me a gift... Aren't I supposed to get him something too?"
"...Caw?"
"Yes, I think that's how this works.... Well, it would be rude to wear it until he's recieved his gift.... right?"
"Caw?"
"Hm... Oh I know!" Type ran into the kitchen and returned with a bottle of brandy. "There! A bottle of my finest Brandy! I think he'll enjoy this, don't you?"
"Caw!"
"Then we'll set out immediately!"
"caw?"
"Yes, I suppose I should be wearing the gift when I see him."
Typewryter affixed the ring to his horn, and a wave of dizziness washed over him.
"Oh my... that.... probably isn't good...."
"Caw?"
"Munin, I can't get it off... It's not stuck, it just won't respond to my magic and- AAAAAAH!!!" Typewryter screamed as the magic was ripped from his body to create a nearly perfect clone of himself, the only difference being his eyes were green, rather than brown.
"Munin... Get this ring... off.... of me..."
"Yeah, not going to happen." The clone stunned Munin with a sonic blast spell, dropping her to the ground.
"Sorry about this friend, but you know how it goes." The clone picked up the brandy bottle and shattered it against the desk. The jagged, sharp edges sliced through flesh with ease.

[Princess Celestia]

((Grimdark much?))

"My name is Sunset Sprint. I'm one of the fastest Pegasus ponies around, and I like to fly fast. So... What are you doing out here Mythic?"

[Arcel/Mythic Swirl]

((OOC: Don't worry, nothing will be seen, but it is a bit grimdark atm I realize...))

The unicorn smiled, more, "Two things... the first is that I am planning on finding a few unicorns who I can get to assist me in my research... but the second perhaps you can help me with..." he spoke, the grin still very present on his face, he stepped over a bit, looking at the wing from a differnt angle. "It is said that all ponies, not just unicorns, have latent magical properties, and my.... research involves seeing if I can bring said potential out..." he repressed a chuckle.

Rory had seen Arcel give Munin a ring, and thought that Amy might like a ring like that.
"Hey Arcel!" said Rory, as he had learned his name from him being around town. "Can I get one of those rings for my wife? I think she would like it." In this Timeline, Amy was a unicorn, so she could wear it.

[Arcel/Mythic Swirl]

Arcel turned to Rory, smiled a bit, "Oh, of course, the more ponies I have trying out the rings the better, it will be good for advertising when I actually start... selling them..." he grinned a bit, hoving out a differnt model ring then he had given to the bird. This one wouldn't auto-lock onto her, but the clone would be able to activate the locking system when she was alone, "I rather do hope she enjoys it," he said with a dark grin.

[thepondfamily]

"Sweet!" said Rory, running home. When he got to the farm, he gave it to Amy.
"For you, Amy," he said, putting the ring on her horn. "Thank you, Rory," she said. He left to get groceries, and she started screaming in pain. When she stopped, there were two Amy's. The second Amy got the knife that the original was going to use to cut vegetables, and got to work on her creator., injuring her but not killing her. She hid her creator in a closet.
