Markus sits down looking at the at the place he once called home.

"So... we are finally free... What about the others?"

"I'm sure they'll figure something out... maybe one day we can go back for them..." Indie says with a bit of hope in his voice.

"Ye...yea..." Markus says not so hopeful.

"So we still haven't reached the goddamn forest and we are already thinking about a rescue plan!?" Caleb asks looking over the hill behind them for an in coming train from Canterlot or anywhere else.

"Yea who knows what she'll do to them since we escaped! Besides we at least owe our ancestors' future family be free as well." Indie says stretching out his body, "So you see anything coming?"

"Nope... crystal clear for me."

The three move out across the track further down the way following them to their unknown location which they hoped was closer to the Everfree forest. To their surprise they rarely see a train come by. So far they've only seen three.

"Are we there yet?"

"Don't you start Indie!" Caleb says annoyed already of walking so long.

"Hell, and here I thought Celestia used to torture us! Really if she wanted to make sure we didn't escape she could just make us walk this long!" Markus yells having a harder time due to his more bulkier build than the other two.

Truly he just considers him naturally fat, but they say its because he's only been training his mind. He would argue but...

"Remember any good songs?" Caleb asks as they move away from the train tracks after about a four hour walk under the sun blazing sun that seems to be watching their every moves.

They sit down out of sight of the rail way to take another quick breather.

"Yea. A few... Got any requests?

"You remember that one about ummm something about a thousand feet?"

"Oh! Ummm."

If I could just see it all

Just like a fly on the wall

Would I be able to accept what I can't control

And would I share what I saw?

or just sit back and ignore

Like nothing never happened

I haven't seen you before?

Markus continues to sing to the group one of the songs he'd hear the people sing when they would come up. They sung about freedom, change, and the past. Indie has always been fascinated about the past, but their past was something out of a horror. The wars and pointless blood shed because of human ambition.

"So Indie... What do you think should be the first thing we do when we reach Everfree forest?"

"Well, first we need to set up a place where we can actually rest up and hopefully train a bit more. Also I heard that somewhere there might be one of the last civilization of our kind somewhere and our old allies should be out there somewhere still." Indie replies tapping his foot to the rhythm of the song.

"Damn... I really thought things were going to be so much simpler."

"Yea. I really thought so too."

As the song ends the two applaud Markus and his voice.

"I don't see why you guys make me sing all the time..."

"Its because we can't. Now lets get moving. We need to give your fat ass a lot of exercise."

Markus shrugs and they all stand once again and walk following the train tracks.

Thirty minutes later

"Well fuck..." Caleb says looking down upon a town that the tracks lead into, "Well this is unfortunate."

"Well. We can also use this as an advantage. Late at night we could pillage food." Markus says tapping his head.

"Yea, but that means we would be as good as our ancestors... After the whole fighting and everything."

"Well... as long as we don't get caught, than we don't have to worry about anything. Plus its not like it'll be missed. Just food and something to drink and things should be alright."

"Yea. Seems a good enough plan." Caleb says looking the town over.

The town seems pretty big. Even right now as the sun begins to set, a lot of ponies seem to be pretty busy with their daily lives. The town itself looks so bright with all the different colors. Truly the three didn't even know so many colors existed. Though they did know that ponies did come in many different sizes. Seeing all these colors is something they need to get adjusted to after being enslaved for so long.

"Well. Time waits for no one!" Indie says making his way around the town.

"Right." The other two say in union.

Late that evening

"Everfree forest!" Indie says looking at the forest in front of them.

"Pretty creepy looking don't ya think?" Markus asks backing away from the place.

"Eh. You aren't scared are you?" Caleb asks mockingly, "Where is all that big talk before about how you could take on anything?"

Markus keeps quiet and looks the opposite direction mumbling something about bravery and stupidity. Caleb laughs and continues mocking him while Indie looks around the inside of the forest he can make out.

"Well guys... doesn't seem like there's much of any danger in there as far as I can see. So... Caleb first right?"

"Nah. I insist the ladies go first." Caleb says walking to Markus and motioning for him to go ahead.

"Age before beauty!" Markus retorts back.

"But I insist!"

"I insist this foot up your ass if you don't go."

Indie and Caleb laughs at Markus' seriousness. He rolls his eyes before starting straight into the darkness of the forest..

"Fine!"

Markus walks first into the forest with Indie and Caleb snickering behind him as they venture into the Everfree forest.

"So. Markus you know more about living on the land from all those books you've read. So what is the best place where we should stay?"

"Well... in the books I've read, they say that you need food and water to be close by at all times. So somewhere close to the entrance of the woods and near a river that flows for clean water." Markus says doing his best to remember his readings.

"Ah okay. Seems easy enough." Caleb says a giant smirk spreading across his face.

"Yea, but you got to put in the fact that we don't' have an actual shelter..." Markus reminds them.

"We'll just have to steal or build one than!" Caleb suggest.

"Be more practical to steal one..." Indie says, "But I guess the question is that if they actually have something like that for us."

"Well. Tents, as they are called, are usual sold where sports are sold or at least that's what I've read... but based on what has all happened in the past. Who knows really." Markus says walking into a clearing.

"Well. This doesn't seem ominous at all." Indie says looking around the clearing for something to be out of the ordinary

"Hey! Maybe the gods are smiling upon us for once!"

Growling can be heard from behind them. The three turn around slowly.

"Or they've decided to fuck us up the ass..." Markus says saddened.

Canterlot

Celestia continues to walk to the throne room with Luna on her heels with an all too serious and concerned look written all over her face.

"Sister are you sure about this? Is killing an entire race really the best solution?"

"I don't want another blunder like this to happen... It might not be the only solution, but for now it's the only one I can think of. Those three have caused a lot of destruction and I don't want any more of them to survive the treatments. Unless... no... it still wouldn't work unless..." Celestia stops in front of the throne, "Luna... if you don't want an entire race to die, than you can help me with this... it'll need both of us to make this, hopefully, work."

Luna follows behind Celestia as she shows the secret of hers. They dive deep into the catacombs of Celestia's secret work shop. They walk past where the three were kept and into the main lobby of the slaves she keep.

"Sister... what is all this..." Looking at all the frightened humans as they cower behind their metal barred cages in the corners farthest away from the two.

"These are my slaves...or my test subjects as I put it."

"Sister... Why would you..."

"Well Luna... If given the chance, they would also do the same to you and me. But its alright... I've been working on changing that.... I've had man failed attempts, I'm sad to say, but that's because I never wanted to get you involved. You have never been able to deal with the failed attempts."

"What happens with the failed attempts.

Celestia keeps quiet. She still remembers the mangled bodies and the slowly dying souls asking to be killed and have the burden of the pain taken away. Even those three begged for death when it was their turns. Though they didn't change into... the mess. They were the youngest she experimented on. To think it went so well too.

"Don't worry about it Luna... I'm sure this will work..."

Celestia opens a cage and orders one of them to come out. A man walks out that looks around his mid twenties wearing nothing but a loin cloth. He approaches slowly while eyeing the exit.

"Don't even think about. I am in no mood for any more attempts of escaping. If you try to escape, I will kill you all." she says in the most threatening voice she can manage in her irritated voice.

The whimpering quits as they all stand there in mortal fear. The elders huddle their children even closer to each other wondering if this will be the last day of their lives. They would rejoice at something like that, but having it like this... It means that they want to hold on to their lives longer.The man follows behind Celestia and Luna. They walk into the room where Luna immediately scream and backs out.

"Oh dear me... I keep forgetting to clean up messes.

Blood is all over the walls and floors. Different shredded organs along with some full ones are splattered and somewhat grouped in corners. Luna vomits upon the ground upon the sight of the hideous room.

Why! Why would Celestia have such a room! Why would there ever be such a repulsive places like this at all!

"I'm sorry you had to see that Lulu... there is another room. A cleaner room where we can do this or we can wait for you to recover."

Luna wanted to say something. She wanted to yell and search for help and try to understand her sister, but... no matter what she thought... nothing could explain this horror.
