Underneath the basement of CHS, there was a scientist. His name was Dr. Fiendish Regressor and he was in the middle of studying the magic inside each geode necklace. The first one he was looking at was Sunset Shimmer's. The magic from her geode necklace was the one that gave off the strongest vibes and signals. The scientist took out a few monitors and hooked them up to Sunset's geode necklace of empathy, the readings were off the chart. Dr. Regressor's hand made contact with the geode necklace, his eyes started glowing white. From his understanding, her power was being able to see others' thoughts and memories by touching their arm. He let go of the necklace and went back to normal, his eyes no longer glowed white, turning back into his regular, light-yellow eyes.

Then Dr. Regressor took out Twilight Sparkle's geode necklace of telekinesis next. After he hooked it up to a monitor, he touched it and his eyes went all white again. Then he saw that Twilight was able to levitate objects using magic from her hands. She can also use them to pull things apart such as vines. She was also able to use these powers to unlock a door. 'This could come in handy.' he thought to himself.

Then, he took out Rarity's beautiful purple geode necklace of shielding and placed it on his table, hooking it up to a monitor, and then touched it, making his eyes, once again, glow a bright white as he saw Rarity's power. For, she can create a diamond shield. 'That will provide an excellent source of protection and attack.'

He then took out Applejack's geode necklace of super strength and began hooking it up to a monitor or two, and then he touched the glowing necklace and his eyes went white as he saw Applejack's powers. 'It seems like she's got super strength and she's so strong. Interesting.'

Then, he took out Fluttershy's necklace and hooked it up, and then touched the glowing necklace, his eyes glowing white as he saw her powers. 'Fluttershy can communicate with animals. Not what I was hoping for, but ok. That's fine for me.'

Then Dr. Regressor took out Rainbow Dash's geode necklace of super speed, doing the same steps that he did with the other geode necklaces, then he touched it, seeing Rainbow Dash's powers. 'She's got super speed? That will certainly make me unstoppable and go fast.'

And finally, took out Pinkie Pie's geode necklace of sugar bombs and did the same things that he did with the previous necklaces. He touched Pinkie's necklace and saw her powers. 'It looks like this one can blow things up like a bomb when she touches something. Very weird and odd too.'

After that, he began writing down jot notes about each necklace on his clipboard.

"The tests were a big success," said Dr. Regressor.

"Now, let's see where those geode necklaces came from and what are your origins anyway?"

He then used some tweezers to examine each necklace, but he needed a better light than a flashing light bulb, so he went into the storage space of the basement to see if he could find some kind of lamp, and he did. For, Dr. Regressor found a small table lamp that was used in offices when they were examining papers late at night. The lamp was a shiny silver color, and after testing the lamp's light bulb, he placed it onto the table that had each necklace on it, plugging it into one of the white sockets. He then turned it on as he examined it with his tweezers, continuing to study it. The first necklace he was examining was Sunset Shimmer's geode necklace of empathy.

He took out a strange device, it was supposed to tell you where the powerful magic is, it was rectangular and was a magenta kind of color. It was a little broken up since it wasn't used for the last year of the Friendship Games, but he was a scientist and he was more than capable of fixing a few... bugs. He found that strange device in the storage closet that was in the basement. Then he took out an old x-ray machine from one of the nurse's offices, obviously in a storage closet. It wasn't in great shape to work but it was still able to carry out the task nicely and smoothly. He then took the device and shook it a little before using it, he then turned it over and opened it up, dust flying out everywhere as he did so, making him sneeze and cough. He then noticed that the 2 double A batteries in the device were dead and needed to be replaced. Good thing he always carries a package of double-A batteries around with him. He opened the package and took out 2 double-A batteries, Dr. Regressor took the batteries out of the device, and placed them in a nearby green recycling bin, placing the new batteries in the device, closing the battery panel, turning it over, and now it works

As soon as Dr. Regressor placed the device over Sunset's geode necklace of empathy. The device began to whir and spin, signaling that there was a lot of magic stored in that necklace. He grinned evilly as he took the tweezers to dissect it. The tweezers reached directly into the geode necklace and he found out that there was more magic in the center. As soon as the tweezers entered the magic zone, he came into contact with something hard. Dr. Regressor moved his tweezers on the hard object and began pulling, pulling stronger than before, until...it popped out, the necklace form now gone, which only left a bright red geode crystal. He looked at it with curiosity, touching it. He brought it closer to his face to examine it more carefully when he suddenly saw a flashback, of a pink female with smooth and wavy magenta hair and lighter magenta highlights, the side of her hair was tied into a small braid, white sunflowers were draped over the front of her hair. Her eyes were a light green. She was inside a cave near a rock quarry, looking for something when she stumbled upon a bunch of crystals, that suddenly turned into a strange-looking necklace around her neck. It was of Equestrian origin, I mean, he was a unicorn scientist from Canterlot, the capital city of Equestria. He then left the red geode crystal on the table as he took Twilight's geode necklace of telekinesis to see if it had the same geode crystal trapped inside.

He then placed the strange device, and as expected, it roared, telling him that the magic was right in front of his face. He placed the tweezers carefully in the geode necklace, feeling once again, a hard object, which was another geode crystal. He then carefully extracted the geode crystal from the necklace, making the necklace form disappear, and a purple geode crystal appears in its place. Dr. Regressor was filled with glee at his discovery. He then did the same thing with Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie's necklace each geode crystal with a different color. Rarity's geode crystal is a pearl white color, Applejack's geode crystal is orange, Fluttershy's geode crystal is yellow, Rainbow Dash's geode crystal is blue, and Pinkie Pie's geode necklace is pink. Then Dr. Regressor had thought and brought the crystals together.

"Hmm, I wonder...." Dr. Regressor muttered to himself as he tried his experiment.

He put all seven geode crystals in a neat circle, each crystal touching the other. Then, with a flash of white light, the seven crystals merged into a light purple-pink geode necklace. He placed the device over the necklace and the readings were off the charts, as if there was more than one source of magic, you know, crystals.

"These will help me rule the world!" laughed Dr. Regressor maniacally.

"Although. I will need someone to test it out, in case something goes wrong." Dr. Regressor said. The last thing he wants is for himself to be turned into a freak or worse, but if it happened to another person, he would see what would happen to that person. And then at least, he would be able to perfect it and then use it on himself and it was foolproof.

"Yes, that's the plan. Recruit someone, convince them to use the dark magic, and then total control of the entire world!" listed and laughed Dr. Regressor maniacally.

No one will know what hit them. Not until it's already too late.
