The Mane 6 Prison Chronicles

“So, I guess I’ll start from the very beginning. See, my experiments had been going great, and Princess Celestia had even been supplying me with ingredients to keep making potions, with!

“Princess Celestia kept giving me so much for free, that I had to thank her personally. So, one day I decided to go to Canterlot.

“When I got to the castle, Princess Celestia was overseeing the the unloading of some boxes from the delivery ponies.

“I asked her what was in the boxes, and she practically jumped out of her skin! She said it was nothing I needed to concern myself with, just some new chemicals she wanted to work with. That’s when she realized what she had done.

“Since she had been giving me so many chemicals for free, I asked her if I could take a sample to experiment with. She outright refused me, and told me they were too dangerous. I felt bad, but I told her it was fine with me, and I wouldn't’ bother her about it again.

“She apologized, and invited me to join her and Luna for tea, and I accepted. After we finished our tea, I bid the Princesses farewell, and began the long walk home. But all the time, I couldn’t help but think about what was in those boxes.

“After 3 weeks, I just couldn’t take it anymore. I had to have some of those chemicals to experiment with!

“So, I broke into the castle and made off with a whole crate. I opened the box at home, and saw several vials inside. They were labeled ‘Bacillus a.’

“I had no idea what it was, and I wanted to figure it out through experimentation. But I was tired, so I went to bed.

“The next morning, I opened one of the vials and noticed it was empty! It had nothing inside! I figured maybe Celestia had already used that vial, so I opened several others but they were all empty.

“I was upset that Celestia had used all of the chemicals I had stolen, but I just left the box in the corner and eventually forgot about it.

“After a year, I noticed the death toll in Ponyville began to rise. The ponies just seemed to drop dead with the same symptoms - a reddish-brown skin inflammation, and purple lesions covering the body.

“That’s when it dawned on me! I opened the box again, and took out a vial. The label was for a bacteria! The name on the label had been shortened because it was too long and couldn't fit! Specifically, the bacteria was ‘Bacillus anthracis’!

“I had released the airborne spore anthrax into Ponyville, and dozens of ponies died because of it.

“While I was walking out the door with the crate to get rid of the evidence, the Royal Guard caught me.

“So, that leaves you Fluttershy. What’s your story?”
