//------------------------------// // Prologue: Ruins of a lab. // Story: TOTDCB-Verse: Forbidden Evolution. // by Neutral Boy //------------------------------// In the ruined lab, a young colt is looking for any signs of recording tapes among the trash. Minutes later, he eventually finds the recordings inside a safe case still intact. He then takes one of them out and pops the tape in the system, waiting for it to load. "Okay, let's see what happen when I was long gone." The colt mutters. The system boots up online as the video files load up, revealing a destroyed lab and an injured unicorn pony. Video log name; Dr. Velcro Sphere. Location; Experiment Lab. Day of recording; 1015 year of Equestria, day ****, 9:41 p.m. "Testing, testing, testing, okay the log is recording. Ahem, if anyone or anypony finds this tape, then that would mean I'm already dead. For those who's watching this tape right now, I'll be giving an explanation as to how our peaceful nation in Equestria lead all the way up to a disaster on the surface world more worse than Tartarus itself in the present time of this recording." "In each of my recording tapes, it starts with when Equestria emerged on Earth by Princess Celestia and she's creating the new Conversion Bureau. All of the info about it is under the record section files if you want to know more after you've watched all of the recordings." "Anyways, let's start out with my meeting of Celestia at the private conference room and how this was completely all her fault to begin with by converging every chaotic human monsters into newfoals." "Especially to me that I made this whole mess happen, but also because I despise the false solar princess." Day of recording; 1008 year of Equestria, day 0, 11:00 a.m. "The meeting went off without a hitch. Princess Celestia gave a permission to have our scientist to work on some human test subject to experiment on them on being super pony soldiers with a serum she conducted, along with a human spell book she has stolen." "Right now, I'm conducting in the Canterlot lab underground to monitor the experiments and results." "We only have less than three months to make this work or else Equestria will start to lose ground more." "I'll come back to see if we've made any progress." Day of recording; 1008 year of Equestria, day 3, 6:08 p.m. "Three of our experiments 04, 10, and 07 have failed & died. The fourth subject 12 didn't make it after getting out of the tube to walk several times, only for the experiment to collapse from a heart attack." Day of recording; 1008 year of Equestria, day 47, 2:21 p.m. "A successful work has been made a week ago. Nine of our experiments have succeeded without dying. Princess Celestia congratulated us and wanted to begin the next phase of testing them with weapons before sending the super soldiers out to assist her subjects against the humans." "I thanked her for the support as my team began to do some work for the evening." "After that, I better go and see how my family is doing." Day of recording; 1009 year of Equestria, day 80, 7:15 a.m. "Things begin to make everything complicated. At first things seem great when the experiments were obeying, but then it took a different turn. The experiments were somehow malfunctioning from our orders. One of our scientist members was torn up and winds up dead. Two royal guards got seriously injured from one of our experiments who suddenly went mad and we had to calm it down." "What's even more worse is that another one went haywire and went after the Harmony Bearers at Princess Twilight Sparkle's castle. Thankfully, our three princesses manage to detain it after the Royal guards set up an ambush trap led by Shining Armor." "Since those incidents, Princess Celestia ordered us to have the experiments put on lockdown until further notice." "Despite wanting to have any excuses, I did agree and have them put back into their prison tubes." "After putting them back, I could've sworn they were glaring at Princess Celestia and looking at me." Day of recording; 1009 year of Equestria, day 108, 11:41 a.m. "That bitch, that motherbucking twisted bitch! She lied to us all, including me and my own staffs!" "It happened during my off working hours. I was planning to go visit the Princess if she can reconsider of letting the experiments walk freely outside again and obey us. Surprisingly, she wasn't in her office meeting room. I snuck inside to look for any documents about the experiment progress papers she had." "Looking into her desks, I pressed a hidden button I found, revealing a compartment files & a diary." "Checking on them both, my heart just dropped upon what I have discovered behind Princess Celestia's true plans." "We weren't curing humans into us, we were actually making an entire sentient species extinct all along." "I've become a fool the entire time. The realization hitting me with regret and guilt on what I have done." "I had to get out of the office and go to the bathroom, throwing up and crying for hours." "Everything for what I've been through for Equestria was a total lie. We basically kidnapped innocent humans from there families to experiment on them for the pony race. My own sister Florican was killed during her tourist trip in the human world. The newfoals were in disorder of following the Equestria rules. Our Elements of Harmony Bearers doesn't feel happy and they seem to be on edge of not being near each other. It's all falling apart, all because of that damn traitor sitting on the Canterlot throne seat." "The one responsible for starting this whole bloodshed mess in the first place." "I'm done, I won't be a puppet under her rule any longer. I don't care on what happens to me next, I'm going to expose the whole world on what they've done and reveal the true purpose of my former princess's plans of the conversion bureau." "For my family & deceased sister Florican, I'll atone for my mistakes and rebel against the false sun goddess." Day of recording; 1009 year of Equestria, day 172, 8:05 p.m. "Well, I did what I had to do as a promise. The dark truth of Equestria is revealed around the entire world." "Me however, I ran & hide for my life when Celestia order any royal guard to have me killed on sight." "She thinks that I betrayed her and stained her true Harmony, but it's a complete opposite full of lies. She's the one who's losing support day by day. From the few commanders like Shining Armor, Luna, and Cadence to the Harmony Bearers who has trusted her the whole time, but not anymore." "The goods news is Equestria is losing grounds by the humans and supported allied defective ponies." "Bad news is later on, I found out that my experiments have somehow broken free from prison isolation." Day of recording; 1009 year of Equestria, day 195, 6:19 a.m. ". . . . . They remembered. The former humans have remembered everything. From being experimented on, all the way through of being the true experiment monsters the likes of which neither human nor pony has ever seen before. They were more intelligent than I thought they were." "Even worse, they learned of tactical strategies from the experiment 01. No matter on if anyone or anypony outsmarts and flanks them, they always were somehow one step ahead. It's mostly the same result in each conflict battles with the deaths of many humans and ponies counting up." "This is worse than Tartarus, way more worse than any other past nightmare I had." Day of recording; 1015 year of Equestria, day ****, 10:05 p.m. "So there you have it. That's how all of this shit went down hill. The peace of my own land is no more." "Can't really tell if the false sun and her army are dead or not." "I lost communication in the outside and saw literally every dead bodies on the streets in my travels." "In my mind, I do hope Twilight, Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rarity are alive at least. The last time I seen them is giving the mares and some survivors like Luna & Lyra an escape route away from Seattle before we parted ways. My partners Doctor Hooves, Colgate, Braeburn, and Daring Do also parted since they needed to go find there families." "I didn't think of stopping them so I gave them permission to go before giving each of them a last hug." "So far, I'm probably one of last survivors out there, but not anymore soon." "I can hear them tearing through the metal doors I put up and they won't hold for much longer." "Guess this is it for me. I'm so sorry my family and Florican for lying to you. I wish that I never have taken this job of experimenting test subjects instead of defecting out and helped the humans against my former princess." "My only hope of my last wish is for the humans and ponies to coexist one last time in the future." *High growling sounds* "Heh, as for you sun bitch, I and all of the deceased will be waiting for you in the deep Abyss-" *BZZZZZZZZZZZZT* "Unexpected halt from day *****, end of record. . ." Hearing and seeing the whole records, the young colt broke down on the floor in tears. "Sister. . . . . . . . what have you done?"
