The Experiments of Twilight Sparkle (revised)

The ponies felt empty. Like their friendship was incomplete, since the element of laughter was gone forever.Twilight broke the somber silence, "Rainbow's element, at its peek, when converted to physical energy comes out too... 19,660.7 joules..." Twilight did a calculation in her head. "Wow Dash! That's just 0.1 joules short of being 20% stronger than what Pinkie Pie's element measured! Too bad."

Dash was in a state of extreme trauma, "Dead...d-d-dead," She was shaking and crying.

Twilight found something that amused her, "Aw, Fluttershy is still out cold. I'll have to fill her in on what she missed. HA!"

"How... HOW CAN YOU LAUGH AT THIS?!" Rarity expressed her fury, "If I had my horn...you...you...*sob*" She bitterly wept.

"This ain't happening. Twilight would never do this to us." Applejack sobbed, as their was an irregularly pulsating, fluctuating light emanating from the container of the element on honesty.

"Apple jack, are you sure that I'd never do this? Because, honestly I am. You must be in denial, or your mind is trying to cope with this horrible situation by making you have a difficult time distinguishing fiction from reality. These happenings must be so surreal to you."

AJ spoke, "If we ever get out of this..." She swallowed, "You are no longer our friend... *sniff*"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh AJ." Twilight took off her surgical mask to reveal an impossibly wide, demented clown like smile. "Of course we're friends. You're just having trouble telling what's truth and what's not. And the resulting light fluctuations fascinate me! In fact..."

The excited Doctor grabbed hold of a syringe. It was big in size. And the hypodermic needle was long in length. It was intimidating. "Man this is going to be awesome!" She gave Applejack a shot while singing, "Just flowin' into your bloodstream. La la lala."

After a minute or so, the earth pony in torment began to hear a faint static noise. It steadily grew in volume, until it started to just fluctuate in volume. It was soon accompanied by guitar screams and squeals of random durations, pitch and volume fluctuations, and rates of these fluctuations. It was absolutely chaotic and maddening. The room of death they were in began to distort. The lengths and depths of things were exaggerated. Some dimensions of objects seemed shorter, and other dimensions appeared longer. Some areas of the lab walls moved closer to the pigtailed pony, while other areas moved further away.

To Rarity, it was just a orange horse sweating, shaking, and staring into space with a shocked and confused look, while violent flashes of light came from her helmet. "Apple?..."

Applejack spoke. "STOP IT TWILIGHT! JUST STOP IT! I don't want to hear your mocking words... You're not?... But how can you talk to me if you are dead?... What's that? Is it how to escape?"

Twilight happily watched, while writing notes of what was happening. Rarity and Dash were very confused and very concerned. Rainbow Dash Spoke "Applejack! Who are you speaking to?"

"AAAAAAAA!" AJ yelled, as if defending herself from an attack. "Quiet! Let my Pinkie Pie speak! She says it's important!..." Her eyes watered, "I know... she's... she's... *sob*... Yes she is!" She couldn't even look at her dead little sister's organs in the jars. "See for yourself!... She's... alive?... Because we can rebuild her?... Yes. That does kinda makes sense... Yeah. Of course it does. Why wouldn't it make sense?... And that means... yes. Yes! YYYEEEESSSS! Oh Pinkie Pie! Applebloom!" AJ cried tears of joy. "I thought we've lost you! HA! In your face Twilight Jerkle!"

Rarity and Dash were shocked that Applejack said this. But then thought maybe it was her way of coping with their loss. "I know Dash. I... want them back too. But..." Rarity started to cry again.

The farm pony thought, "Now how to get out of here... Twilight! You scum! Release RIGHT NOW!"

Twilight snickered as she recorded AJ's words and behavior. "As you wish." The cuffs of AJ's and Pinkie's table glowed and opened, releasing the ponies. AJ fell to the floor. Dash and Rarity watched in disbelief. Was she free? Would they escape? No. They couldn't. Twilight wouldn't let them.

The orange farm pony immediately lunged at Twilight Sparkle and delivered a devastating blow to the head. AJ's victim fell to the floor, giving a huge teeth baring grin. Upon seeing this, Rarity and Dash thought that maybe they did have another chance to be delivered. AJ seemed to have full control of her body. Has Twilight just made a blunder? Was it out of insanity or stupidity? No! She had to have something up her sleeve.

Applejack pinned the grinning unicorn to the ground. "Let us all go, or you will rue-"

"They'll be free. All you have to do is help them" humored Twilight, taking out the pins that pinned down Pinkie Pie's flesh to the metal table, out of their pre-made holes, with her magic.

Applejack quickly came to the dead Pinkie Pie and gave her a hug. "I'm... so happy you're alive!" Rarity and RD knew now that AJ actually believed that Pinkie was not dead. The deluded earth pony went to one of the jars containing Applebloom's blain are grabbed it. "Come on ya'll! Let's get the hay outta here. We'll report this purple vermin to the authorities! Cutie Mark Crusader, bad guy busters!" She ran towards the stares. The wires from her helmet connecting to the machine that was against the wall, however, prevented her from leaving. The chords were very strong and firmly embedded into the machine and her electronic headwear, which was securely strapped around her head. Just as Twilight planned.

"Why ain't ya leaving? You're too traumatized from the events that took place this night? 'ere. 'et me 'elp ya." AJ placed the jar next to Fluttershy's table.

Rarity had no idea what to think. "Did this shot do this to her?"

"No.. Really?" Replied Twilight. "A lesson will be learned from this."

Rainbow Dash tried knocking sense into Applejack. "Applejack!... Applebloom *swallows* is dead. And Pinkie has no... ouuuaaaa... o-organs." She felt nauseous. "She's dead also. It was the shot that is making you believe they're alive. But listen to me! Their Dead!" The cyan Pegasus cried at her own words.

AJ gave Pinkie Pie an embracing squeeze, staining her coat red. "You need help too? Wild one! Go help Rainbow Dash and Rarity!" Holding the dripping dead pony over her shoulder, she carried it over to Rarity, and had it lean up against the white unicorn. "She's alive Rarity! Aaallliiivvvveee!" Rarity's eye's widened as she was forced to stare straight into the pony's cold lifeless eyes. Pinkie Pie's blood covered corpse, with no internal organs or top section of her cranium, lying right on her, caused her to quiver uncontrollably. She felt the warm fresh blood from the mutilated Pinkie flow down her shivering body. She just couldn't hold in the puke. The acidic stomach fluid splashed onto the motionless face of the deceased pony, then oozed down both bodies.

Rarity was struggling to breathe. "AAARROU! Da-*cough-cough* AJ! SNAP OUT OF IT! DO SOMETHING! AAAAHU *cough-cough-cough* Aauugghh!"

Apple looked baffled. "...Why aren't any of you-IINNNGOAAAA!... Leaving?" She picked up Pinkie's body from Rarity and shook it violently, making blood and vomit splats on the surrounding floors. "Ya-yeah silly! Let's go for a party! I'm serving multicolored cupcakes with raspberry frosting and grape flavored sprinkles!" Rarity and Rainbow knew that her orange friend had officially gone completely mad! But nothing prepared her for what happened next!

After laying the body on the floor, Applejack sat down next to it and sank her teeth into one of the front legs and tore off a huge mass of Pinkie's raw, red muscle. "Freeeee ssssamples!" AJ said, gnawing on the piece of skeletal muscle, while blood was dripping down from her mouth. The psychological trauma was too much for Rarity. She was shaking and twitching with such force, she strained various tendons in her body.

After chewing and swallowing about one-third of the piece of Pinkie that she ripped out, the psycho earth pony dropped it to the floor and took another healthy bite out of the leg. She forcefully pulled another chunk from the front leg, taking with it strands of muscle that peeled off like string cheese. She ate roughly half of it before letting it fall to the ground. And then bit yet another part off with her messy red teeth.

Rarity couldn't dare to watch anymore of this. "APPLEJACK! STOP IT! JUST STOP IT!" she said, her eyes tightly shut and her head turned away.

This did not stop her mentally sick friend. The insane pony just kept biting off and munching on her helpings of Pinkie Pie, like she was eating a chicken leg. "Don't fret. I'll transport you outside soon, Rar. Uuuu! Why must I feel this way?"

Meanwhile, Twilight Sparkle was very entertained. Plus she really felt like a scientist. She was so excited. She would have loved to be more directly involved in the experiment, but she had to take notes.

After about twenty agonizing minutes of pony cannibalism, AJ had stripped Pinkie's front leg of nearly all it's brawn, throwing the uneaten pieces into a pile. Then went for the exposed radius. Twi realized this. "NO! Don't damage the bone!" She went over to the machine that the cords coming from the helmet on AJ's head, were hooked up to. She pressed a button on the apparatus and the wires contracted into the mechanism, like a cord from a vacuum cleaner. This pulled the cannibal towards the machine, restraining her from ruining the leg part of the skeleton. She now had a much smaller range to move around in. Twilight moved Pinkie out of the way via her magic, and then gave AJ a bigger range of freedom once more.

"Sorry AJ." The doctor unicorn spoke, "But I want to have a skeletal model of Pinkie... Continue."

After few moments of shivering of moaning, Applejack went up of a horrified Rainbow Dash. "I'll help you... I'll... get you out of here... EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" The farm pony had her open mouth's bloody teeth press against Rainbow Dash's cyan belly and bit down into it.

Dash realized what AJ was about to do. "Applejack, NO! Don't do that! It won't help in any-"

With a forceful pull, AJ tore off the piece of the winged pony's underside. Rainbow Dash wailed in pain. After eating half of it, the piece was spat out onto the ground into the pile where Pinkie's meat was. "RAINBOW DASH!" Rarity screamed from shock.

"Applejack! Cut this ou- AAAAAAAAHHHHHH, AAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUHHHHHH!" Dash was interrupted by the pain from another piece of her belly being torn out and partially eaten. Massive amounts of blood gushed out of Dash's body and flow onto the floor. After more tearing of flesh and meat and loud screams of agony, nearly all of Dash's belly was gone. Her stomach and liver were now exposed.

Twilight expressed her admiration of the horrific sight, "Aw, that's so cute."

Dash was weak. She lost a significant amount of nutrients carrying bodily fluid, as was evident by the red puddle on the floor below her. Applejack's jaw grabbed the exposed stomach and pulled it out. She ripped it open and consumed the stomach's contents. Some of the acidic juices dipped from her mouth. This was too much for Rarity. She passed out.

AJ threw up from eating all this pony meat and stomach content. The remaining part of the vain covered digestive organ was thrown into the pile of Pinkie and Dash fragments. It was an absolute bloody mess. Rainbow Dash lost nearly two liters blood. She very pale, shivering, and sweaty. She was breathing fast and heavy. Her heart rate was fast. She was going into a fatal shock.

"Say. I do believe we are done with this session." decided Twiligh, pushing the button on the machine that the wires from AJ's helmet were connected to once more. The cords contracted, causing Applejack to be pulled towards the machine. "What have we discovered, you ask? We've discovered that, under her current warped state of mind, this is how AJ perceives to be truth. Just look at how chaotic the irregular pulsation of the light from AJ's jewelry is. And she's so desperate she is to free you all, such as by 'transporting' Pinkie and Dash out of this place. Onward!"

The restricted orange pony tried desperately to brake free from her helmet. She was pulling hard on the strap from her electronic headgear. But she couldn't break free.

She was like a vicious dog held by a tied up leash. "I need, NEED to let my friends know I LOVE THEM! Uuaah. WHY WON'T THE NOISE STOP!?" AJ kept struggling. But after a few minutes, she sat on the ground, shaking and in a fetal position out of fear. She was wearing a scary grimace. She was sweating so much she looked like she went bobbing for apples. Her eyes were wide. Her pupils were small. Her eyes looked around like crazy. Then her expression changed. For a few moments she was looking as if she were thinking hard about something.

Meanwhile, Twi Spark had a few sips of her hot orangey-green drink from the glassware, and was about to prepare for Fluttershy. She was stopped, however, by the sound of something ripping and a loud muffled scream, followed by the sensation of being hit by a soft, wet, and squishy object on her side. The object fell to the floor, making a splat sound, like a dropped gravy covered scoop of mashed potatoes. She turned around to see what caused this.

She saw that Applejack had a huge, deep gash in her hind leg with a blood oozing out of it. "Oh, I suppose we are not done... Wow. That drug is having a more severe effect on you than I predicted." Twilight said while she readied her pen and paper.

Applejack was in tears as her mouth grabbed it's second smooth piece of her outermost organ. "I must break free." She stretched it to its breaking point. "AAAAAOOUU!... huh huh huh huh huh... It's... necessary. Transporting my self over there."

She noticed that the purple unicorn was observing her. She spat that bit of herself out of her blood dripping mouth. "STOP LOOKING AT ME! YOU'RE LOOKING AT MY PLAN FOR ESCAPE, AREN'T YOU!" She cried. She took an even bigger mass out of her own throbbing leg. And released her loudest scream yet, at the same time crying more tears of burning pain. The orange pony in pain placed her own sticky brawn fragment in her mouth and started chewing. Twilight gave a giggle as she continued jotting down what she saw.

"We will see who will come out on top. I'm breaking free as I speak." Applejack said, after she swallowed the chunk of herself that was in her mouth. AJ continued the cycle of tearing off some of her own leg, wailing and weeping, and spitting the lump of herself out onto the floor away from her. "AAAuurrrhg! See? Even now I am slowly moving towards that spot, and out of these chains!... Aaaagh..." She said, while pointing to that area where she was throwing herself to, bit by bit.

"Hhmmm..." spoke the thinking unicorn, "I've took enough notes. I'll let the machine continue recording the brain activity through Apple's helmet, and analyze the data later. Now we may move on, oh joy!"

The Doctor went to the back to retrieve a cart with a tray. The tray had tools on it, hidden under a cloth. There were also alcohol filled basting bulbs, and bottles of water. Twilight gave Fluttershy a few slaps, "Yooohoooo. Time to wakie wakie, sweetie. You can do it!" The Pegasus didn't respond. Twilight gave her a gentle hug, then moved to plan B...
