"Are you Night Music?" The Guardspony asks you.

"Yes, I knocked but no one answered, so I just thought I would come in" You say pointing towards the open door with a hoof.

"We have been waiting. Right this way" The Guardspony says raising a hoof the door way behind him.

You walk towards the door and the guard stops you.

"I thought I was allowed in" You say with a mildly annoyed tone.

"You are, but we have to scan you first, make sure you are not an imposter"

"Oh, ok then" You say waiting for the scanning to commence.

"Oook, and we are done"

"Really? But you hardly did anything" You say with a questioning look.

"It's the new technology we have, in the back there, if that light turns red, then you are a threat, but if the light turns green then we know it's you"

"How does it know it's me? You guys need my DNA, that's why i'm here in the first place"

"This doesn't scan DNA, it scans for changelings"

"Oh, well that's cool"

"Ok then, lead the way"

You both start trotting down the hallway towards another door, but this one wasn't like the other one, based on the limit to your power it seems that the door was comprimised of a two-foot thick titanium allow.

"Hey, I thought this place was for medical purposes" You say while shaking at the thought of what they need the door for.

"Oh it is, but sometimes the experiments get out of hand, so we take every precaution, we don't want to release a plague upon Canterlot, that would be disastrous"

"I guess it would be"

After the giant door opens, you take note of your surroundings. Doctors and Scientists were everywhere, even in the air, all writing stuff down, most looking at... you.

"Ok this is getting kind of creepy" You say looking at one of the doctors.

No way they needed just your DNA. You wonder how you are going to get out of this.

"Ok, this might sting for a little, after that, there should be numbness"

Poke

"Ow, hey you lied to me. You said it would only sting a little" You say with a pouting face.

"Hahaha, yes, but if I told you it vould hurt more then vhat you are used to, then you vouldn't stay still"

"Ok, you have a point"

Doctor Red Medic, was your favorite person in this whole facility so far. He was much like you, wanting to obtain more knowledge but doing it in your own fashion. And his way would be a secret government facility underneath Canterlot.

"Hey, Doctor Red Medic, may I ask you a question?"

"Sure, go right ahead"

"This place doens't make medicine only, doesn't it"

Sigh "No, no it doesn't, and I am only saying this because you are a guest here, and I do not vant you shnooping around and getting into trouble"

"I knew it, what do you guys make?"

"Zhat is somesing I cannot say"

"Does anybody else know about this facility? I mean, I have passed this place hundreds of times, and I have never noticed it"

"Zhat's mainly because of the artificial unicorn magic surrounding this place, it has to be artificial because if ve use real magic, ve vould need a constant casting and other unicorns would be able to detect it" Red Medic said while putting the syringe of your blood into a mailing duct.

"One last question, is my blood going to be used only for Medical purposes, or is it going to be tested on?" You ask raising an eyebrow.

Sigh "I'm sorry but zere are things zat should be best left unsaid"

At that moment two guardsponies came in and pointed what seemed to be an arrow launcher at you.

"Vhat is the meaning of Zis?!" Red Medic shouted.

"Orders are to capture and contain the specimen"

"Zpecimen?! He's is a guest of our labs!"

"We are sorry but orders are orders, and these orders come from the highest rank in here"

You are just sitting here listening to what you are hearing, you are now their prisoner.

As you are being dragged off, you hear Doctor Red shout something, "Zhis iz a atrosity, hey get your hooves off me! Night! Night Music, I will find us a way out"

Thwack

Everything goes dark.

You are hooked up to a machine, you can only make out what you are hearing.

"Let the cloning commense!"

CLONING?! No this is bad, last time you tried to get cloned your clone went on a rampage back in time and destroyed the castle in the Everfree Forest. You try using you powers to escape your bindings... nothing?, nothing happened. Apperentley they made a different type of magic blocker, one made for you.

As the machine begins the process you feel a sharp pain in your chest, it feels like someone is stabbing you, you feel the blood trickle down your stomach, and at that moment something happens, you black out again.

In your mind

"What is this? What is happening?"

"Oh you are on a roll" The other you chuckles.

"What? What do you mean?"

"Wait and you shall see"

You awaken, wet and on the floor, you hear an alarm blaring, warning you of something. Is it a fire? no, probably not I don't think they would have an alarm for a fire. You open your eyes and see a flashing red light, you immediately wince from the assault of light onto your eyes. You try to open your eyes again but slowly, you still cannot see but you can barely make things out, all of a sudden you hear... moaning? Is someone hurt? you try and scan the room, with what little vision you have. There are ponies, you can make that much out but none of them are doing anything.

You try and get up, but are immediately sent back to the cold, hard, and wet floor. You decide to take a moment and regain your senses and your strength. With your eye sight becoming better you notice something, the color of the floor... it is stained with a dark red, almost the color of the bottom of your mane. Oh dear Celestia did something happen!? With the blood stained floor in mind you look over to the ponies you had tried to see earlier...

"Oh by the creator what have I done!?"

All around the room is what remains of the ponies who held you here. You look at every detail, you have done things you had not thought possible. Over in the corner of the room is a pony with a severed hoof shoved down his throat, the hoof of the leg piercing the back of his neck. and next to him was a pony who had half of another pony shoved right into his...

"Oh, I think I might be sick" You say gagging at the sight of what you had done, but you continue to scan the room.

There, groaning in the middle of the room was... Red!

At the sight of this you use all of your strength to at least crawl towards him.

"Night, iz zhat you?" Cough

"It's me, what happened here?" You asking turning you head around to look at the scene before you both.

"Night, I am zorry for not telling you earlier, but you need to look inside yourself to find the answer in which you are looking for, never forget me Night Music, now the Last of the Sound Striders, with my last breathe, I give you this"

At that moment Red Medic holds his hoof up to your head and everything begins to shake and hum. Everything around the room begins to blur again as you fall back into something that you have not done for years. You begin to fall not into darkness, but into... peace of mind.

Author's Note

Who ever would like me to stop the violence after the next chapter has the right to say so, but the next chapter is a given to have gore. I hope this didn't just ruin anybody's opinion of me, I am not really a violent or sexual writer so you may see me fail to write something horrid and disgusting, or anything that may be erotic to some. I hope everyone continues to read this story even after this chapter.

This is Night Music here, and I hope you all enjoyed this chapter of The Legend of the Sound Striders.
