//------------------------------// // Chapter 9-New Recruit // Story: Equestria Babies // by Psalty123 //------------------------------// Dr. Regressor walked east towards another high school. He hopes he finds his first recruit to help him take over the world and make the citizens bow down before him. It's a good thing he brought the Geode Necklace of Total Destruction with him. When he finally got to the school building, it was big just like Canterlot High. It has a crystal tower and it has a flag on the top of the roof of Crystal Prep Academy. He decided this place will be perfect to find his recruit. He went to the entrance to go inside the academy and when he opened the door he thought, 'Someone must've left these doors unlocked so they can keep working all night.' He just pushed the door and went inside to look for his recruit. "Someone's gotta be around here somewhere." He said to himself. It took a long time to find his recruit, but after a little while, Dr. Regressor heard something. It sounded like classical music. Dr. Regressor followed the sound and it led him to the music room. Abacus Cinch, the same school principal who blackmailed her very own students just to win a game got removed from her position and was now the music teacher. She was turning off the classical music on the CD player and packing her stuff when she heard a knock on the door. "Come in!" she called and the door opened revealing Dr. Regressor. "Who are you?" Cinch asked as Dr. Regressor entered the music room. "I am Dr. Fiendish Regressor!" he announced and introduced himself. "At your service." "I'm Abacus Cinch the music teacher," said Cinch, also introducing herself. "Come have a seat." Dr. Regressor did what she said. Dr. Regressor took a chair from the orchestra as he sat down to talk to her. "So, what brings you here to this school?" asked Cinch. Dr. Regressor explained everything. "I came to this school because I need your help to do it." Cinch is a little bit confused about what he's saying. "Help? What for?" she asked. "To take over this world and to capture the girls from another school," said Dr. Regressor. "You mean Canterlot High?" asked Cinch. "Yes," he replied. "Oh, I hate that school!!" groaned Cinch with frustration. "Who is that?" Dr. Regressor asked. Cinch told him about her hatred of Canterlot High School. "Because Principal Cadance took my place away because I blackmailed my very own students to try winning the Friendship Games! Now, look at me! I'm their new music teacher." "Interesting," said Dr. Regressor. "Well Abacus Cinch, your life is about to change because you'll be my recruit!" "Really?" asked Cinch with wonder. "Really, and I know exactly how you feel," he said in agreement. "I was a unicorn scientist from a different place called, Equestria." Abacus Cinch thought that the doctor is crazy, but she believes in him now and she wants to work for him. "I'm in! But before we start anything else, tell me about yourself." So Dr. Regressor told his story back in Equestria. "Well, it all started back in my laboratory in Canterlot..." "...And that's what happened," said Dr. Regressor, finishing his story. "Wonderful!" laughed Cinch with an evil laugh. "Let's go and take over the world!!" "Yes," chuckled Dr. Regressor. "But first, you need to put this on" Dr. Regressor pulled the Geode Necklace of Total Destruction from his lab coat pocket to show it to Abacus Cinch. Cinch was surprised to see the magical necklace as she asked, "What's this?" Dr. Regressor explained the Geode Necklace to Cinch. " This is the Geode Necklace of Total Destruction. I made this out of 7 magical geode crystals. This necklace will give you telekinesis, telepathy, the ability to talk to animals, super speed, protection, super strength, and to make magical bombs." "Really?" asked a curious Cinch. "Yes, really," Dr. Regressor said. "Come on, let's go outside and test out your new magical powers" So he and Abacus Cinch went out of the music room, into hallways, and out the entrance doors so that Abacus Cinch could test out her new dark magical powers. "Now," said Cinch as she was getting ready to test her new powers. "What should I do first?" "How about that trash can over there?" asked Dr. Regressor, pointing to that trash can on the sidewalk. "Alright!" answered Cinch. So, she concentrated on her mind to use her hands to lift the trash can by using telekinesis. A few seconds later, her hands started to glow and she was ready to point her hands to the trash can and it started floating up off the ground. Dr. Regressor's eyes lit up! "Excellent job!" Then he told her to put the trash can down gently and quietly so that she doesn't wake the people up. "What's next?" Cinch asked, trying to do something else. Dr. Regressor just cleared his throat. "Put your hand on my arm," instructed Dr. Regressor. Cinch looked at him with her left eyebrow cocked. "What do you mean?" she asked. "You'll find out soon enough." Dr. Regressor said, smirking a smile. Cinch just shrugged to herself and touched the doctor's arm and suddenly her eyes started to glow as white as snow. To her surprise, she saw an image of Dr. Regressor using the Staff of Regression to regress Twilight into a small, helpless baby. Then she saw the doctor start to take Twilight's crystal necklace as Baby Twilight cried and cried. Cinch lets go of Dr. Regressor's arm and her eyes went back to her normal, regular grayish fuchsia and stopped glowing. "Good work." Dr. Regressor complimented. "So Doctor, what else can I do with these dark magical powers?" asked Cinch as she put an evil smile on her face. Dr. Regressor looked around for something for Cinch to try her dark powers on. That's when he saw a black cat looking for something to eat in the trash. "Talk to that kitty," he said. Abacus Cinch walked over to the trash can where the cat had been. She looked into the can and said, "Hello my feline friend, how much back luck do you have?" The cat heard Cinch's voice and popped its head out of the can with a fishbone in its mouth. The cat spits out the fishbone and said, "Merow." That's cat talk for 'A lot, of course.' Cinch smiled at the cat and said, "Wow, thanks for the conversation. See you later!" She waved the black cat goodbye and the cat waved back with its paw and went back to its fishbone dinner. As Cinch went back to Dr. Regressor, she saw him giving her a big hand for the conversation between the former principal and cat. "Bravo, bravo!" he applauds. Cinch just blushed and gave him a bow like she was in a performance. "Now, here's what I need you to do," Dr. Regressor instructed, as he pointed to the academy. "I want you to use your super-speed to run around the school and back to me, understood?" Cinch was starting to like this man. "As you wish, my dear man." She started walking towards the steps to the entrance of the academy. She was getting ready to use her starting position to run around the academy. She waited for the Doctor to give her a running start. "Ready, Cinch?" Dr. Regressor asked. Cinch answered 'yes' and the Doctor began. "Ready, set... GO!!" As soon as she heard it, Cinch started to run fast! She ran around the academy in a flash and came back to the Doctor. "Nice running there, Cinch!" Dr. Regressor cheered. "Thanks, Doctor," replied Cinch. "Which power is next?" Dr. Regressor smiled. "It's time for you to use your shielding powers," he said, going to the recycling bin to get something out. Cinch was excited about this. As he got two tin cans out of the recycling bin, Dr. Regressor said, "When I say 'Now', hold your hands out like this." Dr. Regressor held out his hands, with the tin cans still in them. "Ready?" he asked. "Ready, Doctor," Cinch called back, ready to use her new shielding powers. Dr. Regressor threw the tin cans and shouted out, "NOW!" As she heard that, Cinch held out her hands wide open. As she did that, Cinch saw two dark magenta diamond shields that she had just made right in front of her, floating. The two tin cans bounce right back the shields. Dr. Regressor smiled and said, "Nice work!" He started to clap his hands to tell Cinch to do a good job of using her new shielding powers. "Now let's see how strong you'll get with your super strength," said Dr. Regressor, picking up the tin cans and putting them back into the recycling bin. "How about you lift one of those benches over there?" he asked, pointing to the benches that were inside the schoolyard. "Alright, Doctor," Cinch said heading to the schoolyard where the benches are. She then grabbed one bench and waited for Dr. Regressor's next instruction. "I'm in position, Doctor." "Good," said Dr. Regressor. He was very impressed with her obeying his orders. Then he gave the signal. "Ready... Lift!!" At that moment, Cinch lifted the school bench with her bare hands. Soon, the bench was over her head and Dr. Regressor gives Cinch a good job lifting the bench. "Nicely done, Cinch," he said. "Thanks, Doctor." Cinch replied, putting the bench back down. "Alright then," said Dr. Regressor, rubbing his left fist. "Let's see if you can make magical bombs." He looked at the wall near the gates. "Try making one to blow up the wall by using the grass." "Okay, Doctor," Cinch said, reaching into the grass by pulling it out of the ground. "Got it." "Good," said Dr. Regressor, ready to give Cinch the next order. "When I say 'throw', throw the bomb at the wall. Ready?" "Ready," Cinch said. She swung her right arm back and forth as she felt the grass turn to darkness. Then Dr. Regressor gave her the signal. "THROW!" he shouted and Cinch threw the dark bomb at the wall and it exploded!! Broken bricks flew everywhere! When the dust cleared, the wall was destroyed and smashed into tiny pieces. "Well done, Cinch!" Dr. Regressor said while clapping his hands. "You're training is complete." "Thank you, Doctor," said Cinch, smiling an evil smile. "I'm ready to kidnap Baby Twilight and her little friends too!" "Excellent!" Dr. Regressor shouted triumphantly. "Abacus Cinch, it's time to unleash your dark magic!!!"
