The Death of Lab 14

6) Taunting Princess Celestia

{Princess Twilight}

Finally the day came for Princess Celestia to visit Equestria and arrive at the castle in Canterlot. I couldn't wait to see the look on her face when she saw my two twin boys Milton and Martin along with Milton's wife Jane were the children she tested on in the In Between are now royalty. I also wasn't about to let Princess Celestia take Moria with her so she could take Moria apart piece by piece so she could make a new assistant.

As soon as Princess Celestia arrived at the Castle in Canterlot, she walked into the throne room and the trumpets blasted to announce her arrival. When Princess Celestia walked into the throne room, I could tell her didn't want to bow to me, but she did. I made a motion for her to stop bowing and mustered the fakest smile that I could give. "Princess Celelstia! It's so nice to see you again! It's been ages since I've seen you. You know, ever since you went into retirement, I haven't seen you around the castle. So how's Princess Luna?"

"She's doing fine Twilight," said Princess Celestia, "where's Moria?"

"Why do you want to know?" I asked.

"I want to see her so I can take her to the retirement home that I'm going to stay at." Princess Celestia said. "She was my dog and I intend to take her back."

I raised an eyebrow. "Oh? She was your dog, she's not anymore!"

"Yes she is," said Princess Celestia, "I adopted her since she was a puppy, so she's rightfully mine!"

"Oh really?" I said, raising an eyebrow. "Do you have paperwork and the necessary blood tests to prove she's yours?"

"Uh…" Princess Celestia looked down at the floor. She knew that I knew for a fact that she didn't have anything that says Moria is her dog. If she did have something she would've presented it to me with no problem and no hesitations. 

From what Moria told me, she was a puppy that Princess Celestia picked up off the street. Princess Celestia did testing on Moria and created Moria into the dog she is now.

I tapped a hoof on the floor, waiting for Princess Celestia to answer me. "Well, do you?"

Princess Celestia sighed, "No, I don't."

"Because when I found Moria," I said, "she had no color on her with her address on her or anything like that. I looked for a microchip and there was none. So exactly, how do you know about Moria?" 

Princess Celestia gulped, "I uh, well you see…"

"I also found out that Moria could talk," I continued, "she said what her name was but she didn't say anything else. She certainly didn't say anything about you. And if she wants to stay here, then I think she should stay here."

Princess Celestia snarled and her ears went flat against her head. "Give me back my dog Twilight! And I'll be taking back the throne too!"

I tilted my head and gave her an evil smile. "That's not going to be possible."

"And why not?" Princess Celestia snapped.

Good thing I had my scroll on laws of this sort of thing with me. I lit up my horn and pulled it out of thin air and opened it. "Equestrian Law states right here that if a current ruler hasn't stepped down or committed crimes against Equestria, (which I have done neither of them) then that's the only way you can take back the throne. Since I have not stepped down and named you as ruler and I have not committed a crime against Equestria, you can not take back the throne just because you're throwing a hissy fit!"

I floated the scroll over to Princess Celestia and when she read it she snarled, "But you did commit crimes against Equestria!"

"And what crimes did Princess Twilight commit?" I heard the Royal Court Judge say. I smiled when I turned around and saw her because I knew that she knew that I didn't do what Princess Celestia was claiming that I did do.

"Royal Court Judge!" Princess Celestia gasped.

"If you're accusing Princess Twilight of something," the Royal Court Judge said, "we can put her on trial, that is if you have enough evidence to provide for what you're accusing her of."

"She had a lab in the In Between too!" Princess Celestia cried.

I literally bit my tongue to keep myself from clobbering Princess Celestia to a pulp but since I knew the Royal Court Judge was on my side, I chose not to do anything.

Royal Court Judge raised an eyebrow. "Now I know for a fact that's not true Princess Celestia. Because we've sent out guards to observe what's been going on in the In Between to see if any more labs have popped up there. I do believe one of the labs that have been set up is yours, it's called Celestial Labs. Am I correct with this information?"

Princess Celestia sighed, "Yes, I am the head of Celestial Labs. But that doesn't mean-"

Royal Court Judge cut her off. "Oh yes it does! You were the one that stole foals from their cribs and tested on them! You are the one that's committed crimes against Equestria! So if you chose to stay in Equestria, you will be put on trial and not Princess Twilight."

"Before you make your choice," I said, "you have some 'fans' that would like to see you."

Princess Celestia smirked. "I have fans? That doesn't surprise me. I mean, I am Princess Celestia after all! Everypony loved and adored me before I retired."

My jaw dropped at Princess Celestia's arrogance. This is NOT the Princess Celestia that I knew who ruled over Equestria! What happened to her? Why has she become so cruel and arrogant?

Royal Court Judge smiled and she turned and left when we got to the throne room; I turned around and spread out my wings, that was the cue for Milton, Martin and Jane to come out transformed into their pony form.

I called out. "Okay guys, you can come out now!" 

I smiled as I saw Princess Celestia's excited look on her face. She was eager to see who her 'fans' were. Once Milton, Martin, Jane and Moria came out, I let down my wings and said, "Cloud Sweeper, Yellow Storm, Bubblegum and Moria, don't you want to meet Princess Celestia? You are her biggest fans after all! I'm sure she wouldn't mind giving you her autograph before she leaves."

"Sure!" Milton said, with fake excitement in his voice. "I'm so glad to finally be able to meet my hero!"

I bit my bottom lip this time to keep myself from laughing wickedly because it wasn't the time for that yet.

"Oh yes," said Jane with sarcasm, "we've been dying to meet you Princess Celestia, ever since we were foals!"

Nope, I'm not going to laugh, nope not yet. I thought.

"Yup!" Martin said. "We even have an idol that we use to worship you with. It's in the very back of our closets. We use it to pray to you everyday."

At this point there was no way I could hold in my laughter. I snorted and put my hoof over my mouth to try and stifle it but it came out as a giggle. It wasn't a normal giggle either. It was the type of giggle that was unbecoming of a Princess to have. Princess Celestia gave me a pointed look as if she were scolding me. I had tears in my eyes when I saw Moria adding to the hilarity by trying her best to act like a normal dog. 

I couldn't help it, this was way too funny. I tried to keep my composure but I was failing at it big time. 

When Princess Celestia realized who she was talking to she snarled. "This. Can't. Be!"

Milton gave an evil laugh, "I take it you recognize us?"

"But you were all of the experiments from Group A!" Princess Celestia snarled. "How can you be-"

"Royalty?" I said. "These are my two twin boys that you stole from their cribs and tested on them! You evil witch!"

Princess Celestia paused when she saw Jane. "But the mare I don't recognize you!"

"That's because you didn't talk to me much!" Jane snapped. "You referred to me as Experiment Jane and now it's Princess Jane to you!"

"And it's Prince Milton to you!" Milton snapped.

"And it's Prince Martin to you!" Martin snapped.

"But Experiments Henry, Sarah and Aria-" Princess Celestia started.

"Oh yeah," I said, "they're royalty too. Aria was Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor's daughter and Sarah is now married to her. So they are Princess Aria and Princess Sarah to you!"

"What about Experiment Henry?" Princess Celestia asked.

"You know good and well Henry's a god along with his fiance' Derek!" I snarled. "He is called God Henry now and Derek is God Derek!"

"There's no way I'm calling an experiment God Henry!" Princess Celestia sneered. "Over my dead body!"

"Well if you can't respect our friend who is a god," sneered Milton, "then you shouldn't be allowed to stay in Equestria!" 

Although I agreed with Milton, I didn't want to say I was going to strip Princess Celestia of her title just yet. I wanted her to see how badly she had made a mess of things. 

"Can we transform back to human yet mom?" Martin asked. 

I nodded. "Yes you may." 

"Human!" Milton, Martin and Jane said and transformed.

"Moria!" Moria barked. 

Princess Celestia made my blood boil when she went to grip Moria in her magic. I lit up my horn and canceled Princess Celestia's magic out. I used my magic to bring Moria back to where I was. Then Princess Celestia made my anger hit the roof when she started to attack Milton, Martin and Jane. 

"Hmm," I snarled, "that's assault on royal family members, that's another crime you can add to your list of crimes you've committed. Would you like to add any more crimes to that list?"

I looked at Moria and nodded. That was her cue to play the part of the rabid dog now. Moria did exactly what she had been practicing to do for this moment. I went from angry to laughing again and I laughed to my heart's content. 

Milton smiled. "Hey mom, can we show Princess Celestia some of our yo-yo tricks that we learned before she goes?" 

I was laughing so hard I barely managed to say, "Go ahead."

"Ladies first wifey!" Milton said after kissing Jane.

"Oh I'd love to!" Jane said.

Jane grabbed her yo-yo and made the string into the shape of a crown. "You want to know what this trick is called Princess Celestia?"

"What?" Princess Celestia sneered.

"I call it the Pampered Princess!" Jane laughed.

Martin snorted. "Good one Jane! My turn!"

Martin then made the string of his yo-yo into the shape of a sun. "I call this trick the Rising Sun!"

By this point, I was rolling on the ground with laughter.

Milton smirked. "Me next!"

Milton made the string of his yo-yo look like he was getting ready to walk his pet on a leash.

"I know that move!" Princess Celestia sneered. "Because I taught it to you!"

"Oh," taunted Milton, "then you know what it's called don't you?"

Princess Celestia snarled at Milton. He didn't seem fazed by it at all. He smirked. "I call this move, Walking the Dog!"

I was still laughing at this moment, wishing I had a camera to record the look on Princess Celestia's face. It was priceless! 

"Moria!" Moria barked.

This time Milton, Martin and Jane joined in on my laughter. I finally composed myself enough to speak, "There is one thing I would like you to do for me, Princess Celestia."

"What is it?" Princess Celestia asked.

I nodded at Milton and Martin. "Milton? Martin?"

"Yes mom?" Milton and Martin said.

"Could you use your magic to make the sky half day and half night?" I asked.

Princess Celestia's jaw dropped when she saw that.

"Before you make your decision on whether or not you want to stay," I said, "if you can move the sun and lower it, I'll wave your trial."

I called a bluff because I knew it wasn't going to work. Now that Milton and Martin were taking care of the day and the night, Princess Celestia wouldn't be able to do a thing about it.

Princess Celestia gave me a smug look. "Humph! Piece of cake!"

As I have seen her do it before I took the throne, Princess Celestia did what she would do every evening to lower the sun. She lit up her horn and raised herself off the ground. Instead of a bright light shining into the room until the sun was fully lowered, Princess Celestia's horn dimmed and she dropped to the floor face first.

Milton, Martin and Jane snickered and I snickered too. Finally! I can tell Princess Celestia what I've been wanting to tell her since she first got here! 

That's when I looked at Princess Celestia's flank and gasped.

"What is it?" Princess Celestia asked.

I pointed to her flank. "Your cutie mark! It's changed!"

Princess Celestia's cutie mark had changed from a sun to a black skull with a red circle around it and a red line going through the circle.

Princess Celestia stared at her flank in shock. "How can this be?"

Milton chuckled, "I think that's punishment for you being so evil!"

"And I think that seals your death sentence with God Henry!" Martin added. 

"Experiment Henry is not a god!" Princess Celestia shouted. 

I found it funny that Princess Celestia was trying to use the Royal Voice. Princess Celestia knows good and well that once a ruler has stepped down from the throne, the Canterlot Royal Voice leaves them and they no longer can do it.

"Wow, inside voice Princess Celestia! Although I have no idea why your cutie mark changed, I think it's a good thing because of the crimes you've committed. But I'm still willing to give you a choice: are you going to stay or are you going to go?" I said.

Princess Celestia's eyes were full of tears when she snarled angrily at me as loud as she could. 

"I take that as you're going to go." I said. "One more thing Princess Celestia, I'm taking your crown and your title!" 

I gripped Celestia's crown in my magic and once I had it in front of me, I threw it to the ground and stomped on it. "I hereby officially strip you of your title and banish you to the In Between! I've talked to Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor about this and they don't want you in the Crystal Empire either! Now get out of my sight!"

I watched with satisfaction as Celestia ran out of the room crying as she left. Once Celestia was gone, all of us breathed a sigh of relief.

Moria seemed to be the most relieved, "Finally! Glad that's over with! I said I'm not working for another lab and I meant it!"

Martin then lowered the sun and Milton raised the moon. Jane gave Miton a kiss and we all parted ways for the night.
