Freedom.

A word that most of the people on the planet know, but only a few experience such joy. Is it fair for others to suffer for their ancestor's past mistakes? A lot would argue about that... which is why Celestia keeps it at a hush hush. Deep down into the dungeons where only Celestia travels is where only fifteen or so creatures that are known as humans dwell. Bipedal intelligent creature that think too highly of themselves despite their situation.

"Well hello your highassness! It's been so long." A red head calls out as she strides through the entry way into the cruel place where the humans call home.

She smiles and nods her head towards the red head. She's just so used to the brash ones comments by now. His name is Caleb or Hot head like the ones before used to call him. It's funny how easy human nicknames take on. Once she knew a man by the name of Flubber. They called him that because of the way his mouth would go on and on about plots and schemes. Oh how she misses Flubber some days. Though she could never replace the three boys before her.

Caleb the red headed cream skin colored boy that doesn't know the difference between keeping his mouth closed and yapping till he's blue in the face. The other, a browned skin one with the knowledge to uphold himself despite his situation, tries to keep him in check to no avail. The re head's hair is always a mess while the brown one's hair is always bushy and well kept. She calls them Caleb and Markus.

"It sure has. But I'm not complaining. So what you been up to since the last time we saw you?" The brown one asks looking up from the book he's currently reading. A book he's gathered from her.

"Yea for a while we thought you were dead, but you are some what immortal after all." The lighter brown boy says.

He, unlike Markus and Caleb, has his hair curved right in the front.

Celestia has always liked these boys. For multiple reason. They are the only ones that have survived her testing. There were others, but she tended to keep them deeper in. She made sure to give these boys some more leisure as a reward for living for so long and not snapping.

"No no... things have been... busy." She says walking over to a table, "So how has things been for you three?"

The red head speaks first, "Meh. Other than listening to Indie and Markus talk, pretty dull. But let me guess, your here to make things exciting again."

She only chuckles and says, "Yes, I have. I want to test out your power and how well you have adapted to them since my absence."

"I can tell you one thing." Markus speaks out, "He's stopped torching my books."

Caleb only smiles and says, "Or at least what you notice."

Markus only stares at him menacingly as Caleb walks around whistling. Markus looks over to his many bookshelves at the back left corner of his side of the square like glass cage they live in. Air comes in from the open top almost like if they were in a tank.

Indie's corner is at the top right and has different history books all arranged so he can easily remember what historical fact came first. Despite it's lack of human knowledge. Much to Celestia's happiness. She hopes to make them forget their heritage and some how integrate them into the world as a supreme power. She hasn't figured out how yet, but she's sure if she just pass them off to her student everything will work itself out.

"Alright than! I guess the testing can begin! Now Markus was the last one that went so who's going first this time?" Celestia says reading over her last notes.

Indie and Caleb exchange looks. They both nod their heads. Caleb takes a step folder.

"Alrighty than Caleb. Its your lucky day!" She presses one of the many buttons on the table in front of her with a hoof and the front part of the glass cage opens and lets Caleb step out, "Now no funny business from you right?"

"Yep. No funny business. From me." Caleb says suppressing a smile on his face.

She's about to press a button to close the door when she feels her body tense.

"Wha... What?" She says watching as her hoof trembles and Caleb begins laughing heartily.

"But I can't say the same from the other guys!" He says with a giant smirk walking to the side of Celestia.

He motions for the others to come out. Markus drops his book and grabs Indie who has his eyes closed and seems as stiff as a board

"What are you doing!?" Celestia asks out in anger.

"Getting our freedom! If anything else we are not going to die caged up!" Caleb says making his way with the others to the entry way.

"How are you doing this! None of you have shown this ability before!"

"Yes, but we have learned to do a lot of things in your absence and we've some what perfected them."

"But don't worry. It'll where off as soon as we're out. At least it gives us a head start." Markus says making sure to keep Indie straight.

"Well. See ya!" Caleb says running up the stairs with Markus in front.

True to their words, as soon as they go up the stairs the tenseness feeling wears off and she feels dehydrated as well as free. She wants to yell out and tell the guards to capture them alive, but the feeling was to strong.

Damn those kids...

Indie gasps for air coughing up blood as Caleb kicks open the door helps him sit down in a nearby chair.

"You good?" Markus asks him.

He nods his head wiping the blood off his mouth. The back off his throat was dry and he's completely dehydrated. He wants to vomit and lay down and die, but he knows more important things are about to happen.

"So we've made it this far. Lets see if we can get farther!" Caleb yells out running to where a button rest on the wall.

He presses it and the wall in front of him slides out of place to everyone's astonishment. Markus helps Indie to his feet and they all walk out of the room into another one. They hear something sliding to their right and move out of the way as a giant chair, bigger and more stylish than any chair they've ever seen, slides towards them to where the entrance is to the dark dungeon. They quickly move out of the way. They look around the room to see it is very different than anything they've ever read or heard from any of the others they've managed to talk to.

"Damn! This place is huge! Even the doors are bigger and there are two of them together!" Caleb yells out spinning around while Markus and Indie follow behind him taking in the sights much slower.

"Yea..." Markus says out, "I would've never thought things look so much better like this outside."

"Come on guys! Let's go see what's on the actual outside!" Indie says feeling better than he was before.

He's always been able to make quick recoveries. The three rush to the two door way and push them open to meet a giant hallway filled with ponies moving about that stop at the yelling of the three. So many ponies in one place, they hadn't planned fully on that. But on the bright side, the ponies were more scared of them.

"Oh my god! What are they!"

Screams erupt and the ponies scatter as they yell for them to get the guards and find the princesses.

"There's more than one!?" Markus yells looking at Indie and Caleb scared.

"Oh shit! We need to get the fuck out of here! Now!" Caleb yells taking off running down the hallway.

The other two follow suit ignoring the ponies screams of fear and of help. They come into a great room and than out the door way into the morning light. Naturally they shield their eyes, but they keep moving fast.

"Okay! We're outside now! We just need to-" An explosion cuts Indie off as they reach the bottom of the steps and turn back to see a black alicorn flying above darkness swirling around it and anger in its eyes.

"No no no no no!" Markus cries out as the goddess flies towards them.

Indies looks around and sees a fountain. He moves the water and shifts it in front of them in a dome like shape and freezes it. The black goddess slames into the ice shattering it, but being dazed none the least.

"Nice thinking!" Markus says as he backs up from the dazed Alicorn.

She slowly starts to recover which gives them time to start their speed run again.

"Alright! So far so good!" Markus cries out in happiness.

"Yea, but we're fucked if she catches us!" Caleb says

"Think more positive!" Indie says as they cut around a corner onto the streets.

"I'm trying to not think about how violent our murder is going to be! I'm imagining them killing us with stuffed teddy bears instead."

"Probably stuffed with bricks..." Indies mumbles under his breath.

"What was that mister sunshine and rainbows?"

Markus stops and forces a wall of energy up in front of them to stop their run.

"Guys! Cut it out! Now think about survival so we can argue later about who's gayer or not, but for now! I want to live!" Markus shouts frustrated.

"Well if you want to." They turn around to see a very annoyed white alicorn with a black one standing beside her, "You better come back. Now."

The three gulp and nod their heads at each other. Though they know their magic have limits, they can at least try to escape. Celestia shakes her head, "And I've been so good to you boys."

"Don't get me started..." Markus says glaring at Celestia.

They were not going to give up at this point. They've gotten further and lived longer than most of their race as they know.

"So guys... if we die."

"When we die."

Markus shakes his head.

"If we die." Caleb says, "I just want you guys to know at least we made it this far and lets continue to be friends in the after life."

They all nod.

"Have you decided?"

Markus nods as he runs forward and lights his body on fire. Luna quickly reacts shooting a beam launching the boy back. Water rips around lashing the two in the side sending them away from them.

"Come on! I hear there is a forest we can make it too for us to be home free!" Markus says helping Caleb up.

"Right." Indie says pulling the water back and making it float around him.

They run through the streets dodging lasers and Indie throwing and freezing water to aid in their escape, Caleb setting things on fire, and Markus using physic powers to make invisible things and create illusions. The first to start to feel the weakness of his power is Markus. He falls to his right knee and starts to cough up blood. He just got done making several more copies of their group Those two had taken the bait several times, but they always managed to get back to the right ones. The two others stop wielding their magic waiting for Markus to recover.

The two goddesses fire their beams and Indie holds them back while Caleb lobs fireballs at them catching buildings on fire while at it.

"Luna we've got to fight lower down or we might burn the entire Canterlot!"

The two fly lower down and strafe the fireballs while getting in shots.

"You good Markus?" Indie asks.

"Ye....Yea.." He says getting back to his feet.

"Alright smoke screen!"

Caleb laughs as he shoots fire backwards and Indie turns the ice shield to water casting a giant steam around everywhere. Copies and the original goes everywhere. The originals run until they come across train tracks. They run down the side of the mountain following the train tracks being careful as to not slip down. They make it to the hill where they see the forest off in the far distance. They turn back and see Canterlot without the sisters being behind them. They smile and cheer for their good luck.

"I'm so glad that worked!" Caleb yells putting his arms around both Indie's and Markus' neck, "We're alive and free! No longer slaves!"

"Yea, but we are wanted criminals now." Markus add in as a side note, "But hey! We're criminals together."

They walks together talking about the future that they see fit while sisters talk about the future they want to end.


"Celestia! What were they!"

Celestia keeps quiet. She watches as ponies put out the fires that Caleb had started. She had ordered the guards to see out warnings to everywhere about those three and to report in to her if anything came up. She even sent a letter to her prized pupil to make sure she and the rest of the elements of harmony are ready for anything.

"Sister!"

"Humans... They are bipedal dangerous creatures that have strong ambitions and will stop at nothing to achieve them. Sometimes even if it meant their own life to achieve it. But the humans you saw today are different because of my experimenting. I really thought it was harmless until I saw what effects they brought on. But than what happened made me want to do it even more. Those three were part one of my plan, but now that they are gone... I'm not sure what is going to happen now."

"Sister... are there more?"

"Only a few... but now that I've seen that.. If they do survive, they will become too strong... So soon... There will be only three." Celestia says walking away from the balcony leaving her sister sitting there stunned in silence.
