Celestia asks completely shocked. "Princess inside the metal armour is a living creature made of organic tissue. It explains why Fluttery's DNA is in it." Twilight explains. "What we don't know is what it actually is." "Sister may I suggest cutting it open to see what it is. I can make it quick and easy."Suggests Luna. "No Luna, we will go speak to it once it has stopped screaming and we will ask what it is." Celestia responds. "How long has it been screaming for?" "Um about... 13 hours."Fluttershy whispers. In the dungeons the Silen kept screaming, his rage was more powerful than ever. How dare that lower lifeform contaminate him, how dare it make him feel anything but hate. He resented her, his weapons were back online. Now was his chance to destroy this planet. He had noted how primitive they were, using outdated weapons to fight the supreme beings, pathetic. He moved back and forth slowly pulling the chains apart, all he thought about was the rage he felt. But he could feel fear, fear on what had happened to him. This could not stand he would kill all of then to show his purity. He stopped moving when the sounds of hoofs hitting the floor could be heard. He temporarily deactivated in an attempt to hide his attempt of escape. "No Twilight we are not cutting it open, we already know how strong the metal is and we don't know how it would react." Celestial could be heard from beyond the one way glass. "B-but this is for science and for the good of Equestria." Twilight said in a desperate attempt to change her teachers mind. "No." Celestial simply stated. "Sister I could just enter its dreams and find out that way" Luna suggested. "Ok Luna, its better than trying to cut it open." Celestial agreed. Luna closed her eyes and tried to enter the Dalek's dream. But she couldn't all she could find were memories, did it not dream but rather remember? Luna entered not sure what to expect. It flew by so quickly, creatures growing in confined boxes. She couldn't get a good look at them as she was thrown in to another memory, she was standing in the middle of a room surrounded by bronze Daleks all looking up at a red and gold one. It was significantly grander than the rest, barking out orders and asking for constant feed back on missions. Luna was ripped from that memory and in to the next, this one was recent very recent in the Dalek's memory. She was standing amongst a group of bipedal creatures, they looked terrified. Luna could hear explosions from outside the building, she could see children crying and asking their parents what is happening. That's when it happened, four explosions rang of around the building. Black and silver Daleks entered led by a recognizable black Dalek. The creatures began screaming in fear, Luna couldn't help but do the same. She watched as the creatures were killed one by one, she screamed in genuine fear. She had never felt this scared before. She felt herself being pulled from the memory still screaming. She opened her eyes to see her sister hugging her out of concern. "Luna what did you see?" Celestia asked, concer throughout her voice. "Death, horror, fear." Luna responded, her breath shaking. "Did you find out what it is?" Twilight questioned. "From what I could see it is a genetically engineered creature, grown for other creature's cells. And there is a whole army of them" Luna said shakily. "They killed innocent creatures and their children." Luna brok down in to tears, but this was like no other crying she had experienced. What she saw was so horrific that Nightmare Moon couldn't even consider the idea let alone come up with it. But to actively do it, that was something more terrifying than death itself. Silen reactivated to the sound of the door being opened then slammed. "Could you belive Princess Celestia would allow us to cut it open?" A masculine voice said. "She must of found out something awful about it." A feminine voice responded. Silen did not reconize either of the voices. He activated his vision to see two equines with a lage device. They both had their back turned to him making this easier. "EXTERMINATE!" He yelled shooting one of them in the back. The equine let out a scream before falling to the ground. The other one turned and screamed at the Silen in fear. He finally broke the chains that held him and aimed his gun at the female equine. "P- please don't hurt me." She pleaded falling backwards on the ground. "EXTERMINATE!" Silen screamed not giving her another chance to plead, he shot her hearing her scream in pain was satisfying to Silen. They had left the door open making it easier for him to escape. He roamed the halls of the dungeon exterminating any guards in his way without hesitation. Then he saw her, the yellow and pink maned mare. She had to die, he had to kill her for what she had done. "EXTERMINATE!" He yelled. The mare froze at the sound of that word, turning to see the blue beam just barely pass her. She stood there staring at the Dalek. And it stared back. "Why... they were just children?" She questioned. The Dalek stayed silent, just looking at her. "Why did you kill them!?" She yelled. "THEY WERE INFERIOR!" The Dalek said "THEY DESERVED TO BE EXTERMINATED!" "No... they didn't! Why do you kill?" She continued to question it. "IT IS MY PURPOSE, TO MAKE SURE THE DALEKS ARE THE ONLY RACE ALIVE!" "What do you want now?" It stayed silent. The other mares that had imprisoned him came around and glared at it. "Pleas there has to be more than killing." She asked one last time. "I WANT... FREEDOM!" It finally said. It's voice much lower and subdued. They all stared at it in astonishment, it wanted freedom. "I AM DYING, I ONLY WISH TO SEE THE STARS ONE LAST TIME!"
