Equestria Origins- Twilight's Story

The chair began to move once again. Twilight looked up and saw Spike. But, this Spike was 50 meters tall and being held down by two chains, "What have you done to him!?!" Twilight was now crying so hard that she was unable to see.

"What have I done to him? You are the one who managed to stunt the growth of an endangered species." the creature told Twilight. "At this rate all of the unused energy inside of him would have built up and he would've exploded!" the creature continued,"This is indeed a rare species. Where did you find it?"

When Twilight opened her eyes she blurted out,"Celestia gave him to me when I was a filly." she continued to cry.

"Oh, Celestia. It seems as if it were only yesterday she were growing in test tube. But that was 3000 years ago."

"3000 years! That's impossible!" Twilight responded.

"Maybe for a simple organism like yourself, but my race can life up to a solid 10,000 years." "Ah! That reminds me. I haven't introduced myself." the creature remembered. "My name is Herbert Isolox IV, but you can call me by my surname, Isolox." The chairs began to move again as Twilight turned her head to see Spike say softly in a low voice,"Twi... Light..."

"You're going to like this part. You get to be with your friends." said Isolox. This room was different. It was filled with green pastures.

"Where are my friends?" Twilight asked breathing heavily.

"What do you not recognize them?" said Isolox

Twilight did not see her friends but horses. Not colorful ponies, but regular horses. "WHAT THE HAY DID YOU DO YOU MONSTER?!?" Twilight screamed frantically.

"What are you talking about? I haven't done anything yet." Twilight turned her head farther to the right and saw Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie hooked up to large machines.

"Hi, Twilight!" shouted Pinkie Pie "Isn't this fun? Wee!"

"I swear, there is something wrong with that pink thing." Isolox whispered to Twilight. "It broke at least $250,000 of equipment."

"Please! Let them go!" Twilight cried.

"You really have no idea what's going on do you?" Isolox shook his head. "Looks like I've got some explaining to do." He pulled a lever releasing Twilight's friends from their machines so they could hear his story.

"It all started 3,000 years ago. During Project Plasma, which I am sure PX-2 has old you about already, we decided to take DNA from the three most powerful creatures in the Solar System. The Horned Corona Slug from our planet, the Electric Death Swan from Jupiter, and what we wanted to be Earth's Giganatosaurus. Unfortunately, our close allies, the humans, were preserving the Giganatosaurus so they offered us a species that was populous and had also served them well during their course of evolution. After splicing the DNA of all three specimens, we were able to create four results. Three of which were incomplete but still strong enough to be useful. PX-1 contained DNA dominant from the Electric Death Swan. PX-2, whom you met earlier today, contained dominant DNA from the Horned Corona Slug. But, PX-3, whom you know as Celestia, contained DNA dominant from the Earth's horse. PX-4 was a pure mixture of all three and an unstoppable fighting machine. We treated all of our creations as equals, but Celestia wanted more. As our ship left for our home planet, Celestia escaped and went to seek control of the Earth."

"But, how come Earth horses don't look as cool us?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Well, you see, that blasted monstrosity um... how can I put this, "interbred" with the Earth's native horse population, creating unicorns, ponies, and pegasi. The humans where overpowered by the "Plasmic Energy" you unicorns call "magic." We sent one of our creations to help but..." Isolox pulled out an old photograph as a tear came from his eyes.

"There's somethin' you ain't telling us." said Applejack. "Who was it that you sent to Earth?"

"That would be NX-3 of the Dark Matter Project. She was my first creation after Project Plasma had ended. They let me keep NX-3 as a pet because the experiment had not resulted in what they were looking for. I raised her from a single-celled amoeba until she grew into what she is today. I named her Luna after the latin name for Earth's moon." Isolox had a look of grief on his face. He was softy weeping.
