//------------------------------// // The Museum // Story: The Last Remnant of the Daleks // by CombatProductions //------------------------------// Celestia sat in her chambers reading through the pesky letters from the snobby nobles who are requesting the dumbest things or trying to convince her to go out with them. She sighs and puts down the letter she is reading, rubbing her temples trying to sooth the growing headache. Just the a letter appeared in a flash of green fire. She knew exactly who it was from and was happy to read it. It got her mind off of the nobles for a bit. Dear Princess Celestia The recent expedition to the Bad Lands have turned out great, there has been no casualties thankfully. We have gathered a lot of items from there for the new museum exhibit for the Bad Lands in Canterlot. We have found lots of strange and unique items that may have so fascinating history to them. Before I forget we may have found the crown jewel to the exhibit, a large metal statue was unearthed from the sand. We were luck to find it at all. Only a small amount of the top of it was sticking out, It must have been sitting there for centauries just by looking at the condition of it. I feel you may want to see it in person, it is being cleaned right now as I write this. I hope you will come and see it. Your faithful student Twilight Sparkle This peeked Celestia's interest, a new strange statue that had been buried or years? Perhaps she will be able to identify it. Celestia arrived at the museum just a few hours later. She was immediately greeted by her student. "Princess Celestia! I'm so glad you came." Twilight exclaims giving her teacher a hug. "Thank you Twilight, I am happy you sent me the letter regarding this statue." Celesta said hugging Twilight back. "Oh right would you like to see it?" Twilight asks. "Yes I would." Celestia responds. "Then pleas right this way." Twilight leads Celestia in to the museum, they pass by shelfs of old artifacts all with unique traits. They finally enter the Bad Lands exhibit and right there in the center surrounded by ponies is the metal statue. It was completely black in coloration except for a few bits of silver on it, there was still dirt and grime on it presumably to hard to remove. The yellow mare known as Fluttershy was standing at the front of all the ponies looking at in in wonder and slight sadness. How could such an elegant statue be left like this, with missing chunks and holes all over it. Celestia walks up next to Fluttershy and stares at it in wonder, she had never seen anything like it. This statue was in best word "Alien" to her. "Oh... um good evening princess." Flutershy greats with a small bow. "Pleas Fluttershy there is no need for that." Celaestia states. "I would consider us friends." "Oh um thank you princess." Fluttershy says with a small smile on her face. "So what can you tell me about the statue?" Celestia asks. "Well not much, it doesn't seem to signify anything. The best we got was that the metal it is made of is unknown." Fluttershy explains. "Thank you... I'm sorry but I am in a bit of a rush so I must be off. Thank you Twilight for this break I did need it."Celestia states. "No problem Celestia, the museum is closing anyway so I will see you some other time" Twilight said before trotting off. It was late at night in the museum and Fluttershy had deiced to sneak back in so she can look at the statue more. She was being very carful not to be seen by the night watch pony. She snuck in-between shelfs and other exabits until she reached it, The metal statue. She looked on in wonder at it. She decide to take a risk by crossing rope that was supposed to keep the public from touching it. She got close and stood on her hind legs, sympathetically she placed her hoof on its dome like head. She immediately felt like her hoof was burned by it, pulling it away and looking at the hoof print on the dome as it slowly faded. The horns of the statues head flickered like a light. "AAAHHG-AHG!" The statue made noises "GENETIC MATERIAL EXTRAPOLATED, INITIATING DNA RECONSTRUCTION!" It yelled. Fluttershy fell backwards in shock. It spoke, she scrambled away from it nocking down the rope and running away to hide. "HEY! Whos there?" The night watch pony said as he entered the exabit only to see the statue gone. He looked to his right to see a blue light seemingly looking at him. "What the..." He didn't have time to finish his sentence when two more lights flickered above the blue one. "EXTERMINATE!" The statue yelled before a blue beam of energy was shot from it, striking the pony in the chest. He let out a loud scream of pain as his skeleton was seen like an X-ray before falling to the floor dead. Flutershy gasps at the sight and hides behind the shelf. "I KNOW YOU ARE THERE REVEAL YOURSELF!" The statue ordered at her. She reveals herself to the statue, shaking in fear and trying to look as non threatening as possible. "IDENTIFY YOURSELF!" It ordered. "My name is Fluttershy." She squeaked out. "SPEAK UP!" It yelled. "My name is Fluttershy and I am pony." She says louder. "YOU REVIVED ME AND FOR THAT I WILL GRANT YOU A PAINLESS DEATH!" It tells her. "EXTERM...!" It suddenly stops moving and what appeared to be the eye falls limp. Fluttershy still shaking slowly backs up and sprints toward the door, going to tell her friends about what happened. She runs down the street toward the hotel they were all deciding to stay at. Back in the Museum the statue reawakens. "ERROR CORECTED, WEAPON SYTEMS FULLY FUNCTIONAL. THE DALEKS SURVIVE IN ME!" It yells. "THIS PALNET IS NOW UNDER DALEK CONTROL! WE ARE THE SUPREME BEINGS!"
