Chapter 3: M.I.S.T LABORITORIES (GLITCH)
They call me subject GL1TCH, and I don’t understand what that means but it’s what they call me. The ponies here scare me, they wear these scary masks and goggles and use all sorts of scary objects on me, they tell me that it’s just to check my vitals. I can understand what they’re saying, but I can’t quite talk yet. They are surprised that I can reply to them with a nod or any other body motion.
They're telling me it's month 2 of me being here in this nation they call Equestria.
“So this place, they call it Equestria?”
“W-w-w-wha, u-um yes they do,” the scientist sputtered stupidly.
“Why are you acting so surprised? Don't most foals my age talk?” I said whilst tilting my head.
“ W-well, no they dont,”
As we continued to have our conversation about why foals my age don't have the ability to talk, a pony not wearing a mask or goggles came in with a soft smile.
He had pale white skin just like the pretty lady up in the window, and just like that bearded pony. The pretty lady is only up there once or twice a day, though.
“Hey there little guy! Is it okay if I call you Glitch?”
“G-glitch?”
“Eeyup,”
“Sure, what's your name?” I said with the tilt of my head.
“hmmmmm,” The stranger carefully pondered, tapping his hoof on his chin.
“You may call me Nova, m'kay?”
“Okay,” I replied with a warm smile.
The man they call Star Swirl told me they're taking me somewhere scary. He put this sack over my head and and was taking me somewhere...
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!” I shouted while flailing under the scientists arms.
“SHUT UP YOU ANNOYING FOAL!” One of the scientists shouted, shaking me by the mane.
“GENTLE WITH SUBJECT GL1TCH YOU INSOLENT SWINES!” Barked a man who sounded old.
“Sorry sir,” The scientist replied to whom I presumed to be Star Swirl.
“I'm sorry 'bout that G1CH it WON'T happen again,” Star Swirl said with the emphases on the “won't”. Soon after I felt something small and sharp like a needle go into my neck and my eyelids grew heavy, with a yawn I soon fell asleep.
When I next awoke I was in a small padded florescent white room, with lights that hurt my eyes when I opened them. As soon my eyes adjusted to the room I scanned my surroundings, all that was in the room was me, a big black mirror wall thing, a small table with straps on it, and a big metal door.
(They told me when I was one month old that I tore open one of the strongest metals in Equestria.... I wonder if I could smash this and get out of here.)
As I stared at the door I diverted my attention at the black tinted glass window, I guess that's where Star is.
Luna hasn't talked to me since I got here.
“How long was I asleep?”
“For about a day or two Glitch,”
“Nova?” I replied to the voice kind of relieved that at least there was one familiar voice in this scary place.
“Eeyup, miss me?”
“Yea! And I also don't seem to have my books on magic and history with me,” I said looking at my hooves dejectedly.
“Oh, you mean these books?” Nova holds up to thick textbooks.
As I eyed them he smiles triumphantly.
“I can't forget my little buddy's favorites books now can I?” He said with a big smile.
As he handed the books over to me I snatched them up with a great big smile.
“Thanks Nova,”
“No problem little guy, hey Star is going to come in and take some blood from you okay?”
“O-okay,” I replied with a small hint of fear in my voice.
“Hey hey, I need you to be a strong little filly okay? I'll be gone for a bit but I’ll try and visit you whenever I can okay?”
“Okay Nova,”
“Okay well I have to go now, see you soon!” He exclaimed as he waved goodbye.
Soon after he had left, Star came in holding a big syringe and approached slowly while after him was two other colts.
“What are you going to do with that big scary needle?”
“It's nothing to fret about little one, I’m only going to take a little bit of your blood,” said Star Swirl as he approached me with the needle, an ominous grin splayed across his face.
“It won't hurt much, but you'll get a big dinner after...,” Star said calmly as the two scientists
began to pick me up and strap me down as I attempted to fight back.
“No stop i-,” I was quickly cut off as a long leather muzzles was fixed across my face, and my fore legs and hind legs were strapped down and the needle inched closer to my right foreleg.
As horror broke my usual happy face, his smile widened along with some chuckling as I winced in pain from the needle sliding deep into my arm, hitting a vein and drawing out a large amount of blood.
“MMMMMMMMMF!”
“Hush now silly little foal, it'll only sting and be sore when I'm done,”
The days after are just a blur...
As I awoke from my fitful, yet painful sleep I trudged out of bed and looked around to find myself in a room with nothing inside but a bunch of tinted glass windows on all 4 walls.
“Hello? Anypony there?”
“GL1TCH, we're going to do some experiments testing your magical strength and capabilities. You may get hurt during these tests and only when you're in critical condition or you destroyed every last one of the beings that we are going to release into your room,”
“W-what?”
“Good-luck,”
Before I could ask what was going on three weird balls were slowly lowered into my room from the ceiling, startled I readied my magic, an iridescent glow surrounding my horn, and my wings fully unfurled as the objects plopped to the ground with a soft thud. As I waited the three objects started to unfold themselves and started to stand with some beeps and bops and started to whir to life, their black glass eyes started to glow. The one to the right eye's glowed a deep crimson, the one to the left eye's glowed a bright cyan blue, and the one in the middle eyes glowed an ominous deep purple. Each one had markings on its chest, r-3d, 0ct4v, and V1nl3.
“R-3D HAS VISUAL OF TARGET, REQUESTING ORDERS FROM HQ,” R-3d said in a rustic, obviously synthesized voice.
“Affirmative, 0ct4v has sight on the target,” Said 0ct4v in an elegant and conserved tone.
“YEA! V1NL3 GOT TARGETS ON THE TARGET ALSO!” exclaimed V1nl3 in a rambunctious and slightly female voice.
“This is HQ, you have permission to exterminate,” said Star
“EXTERMINATE,”
“Extermination,”
“YEEEEEAH! EXTERMINATION TIME HERE WE GO!”
“On one condition pon-bots. Attack one at a time,”
“AFFIRMATIVE, CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER,”
