Starswirl had gone to talk to Princess Celestia and I had been left tied down...but with metal this time. I believe it to be iron. I was finally learning how my face worked, ya know because before this it was pretty much mindlessness and having no real clue on what was going on around me. I had a frown on, I think it may have been touching the bottom of my helmet. I heard the door open. 'Oh good, Starswirl's back.'

What walked in front of me surprised me greatly. It looked like a really fucked up dragon, several parts of its body were from different animals. The head was definitely a pony, though a horn was adorning the top of it. One of its hands was a lions leg, the other looked to be some kind of avian creatures, perhaps a hawk. Where the neck met the body the fur from the head stopped and the actual body of it was red, I have no idea what animal that comes from. From the lower body emerged two legs, one from a hoofed animal, probably a pony, the other looked to be reptilian. Finally the tail, which also looked to be reptilian. He held one finger up to his lips. "Shhhh. They don't know I'm here." He was smiling like a mad man, I noticed that he had a glass of a strange brown fluid in one of his hands.

"Hmm, you're an odd creature aren't you?" You're one to speak buddy. He began to float around me, casually looking at me and studying the room around us. "So, what're you in for?" Does he honestly expect me to answer?

He was about to speak again, but I heard voices coming from the door. "Where are the guards for this door, I have seen what he-it's capable of." The multi-creature then quickly snapped its...claws? Together and vanished. 'Why do I have to put up with all of the crap?'

Starswirl and a pony I did not recognize came into the room. "Should we do a magical potency test on it?" This came from the pony I did not know.

"No, it does not seem to have magic in it, nor does it seem capable of storing it." The other pony 'hummed'

"What about magical resistance?"

"That we have not done yet, how do you want to go about doing it, the old weigh and lift technique?" Weigh and lift technique? The metal bindings holding me down were taken off, and then I was lifted before I could get up, they then opened the door and left that room. Sadly due to my position I could not see where it was that we were going to. After a few minutes, from what I could guess at least, we stopped and I was put into restraints again.

“The table weighs 25 pounds exactly. All we need to do is put it on the scale and then subtract 25 from its weight.” Huh? The table was then lifted up and I can only assume that I was being put onto a scale. “362 pounds…it weighs well above three times the average pony.” Well duh, I have the suit on, that has got to be adding some weight onto me. "Okay then, time to get Teleforce." He then proceeded to shout out her name. I then heard a door open and was just barely able to see her. I never really payed much attention to her before but now I was able to get a good look at her.

She was odd looking to me. She was a very dark purple, almost black in color. Her mane and tail were very contrasting with the purple and were a dark green, swampy would be the word I use to describe it.

"Teleforce, you have extensive weight gauging training, right?" There was silence, but I assume she nodded her head. "Good, would you please lift it and tell us what you view the approximate weight to be at?" Once again, I assume she nodded. I was being lifted into the air, and I heard an audible grunt...I'm not fat.

"I would say this is at least 350 pounds, a little above, maybe 360." I heard a lot of murmuring. "What's going on doc'?"

"It would appear as though it has no magical resistance at all. It is an entity entirely devoid of any contact with magic." So? "In theory direct application of magic should not work on it, so why is it?" SO?! "Lets take this news back to Princess Celestia." I heard what could only be described as a 'poof' sound and then the sound of parchment being unrolled. "Hmm, this says to take it to Princess Luna. It is signed by her...but...Never mind. Teleforce, would you mind helping to bring it to her room?" I think she nods a lot or something because before I even realized it the restraints were gone and I was free floating again.

This whole being carried around with no real idea of what is going on thing is really getting on my nerves. We were walking for a few minutes before we stopped and...turned. This process was repeated several times. When we had finally arrived I was unceremoniously dropped and I then heard knocking. I tried to get up but it felt as though I had an even set of weights all along my body forcing me to stay down.

The door opened and presumably Luna was revealed. I heard her speak. "I'll take him from here." Short, simple...nothing more was said. Things suddenly felt very tense for me. I was lifted up once more and then moved forward a small amount. Yet again I was dropped on the floor, they can really be total pricks. The door was closed and then... I was wrapped in a pair of hooves and was being held quite closely to her...what?

She then pushed me away from her and she had a look of total seriousness in her eyes, she seemed to be scanning the entirety of my body...I mean suit. "Did they do anything to you?" I shook my head. "What kind of tests did they do." It took her a moment to realize that I was not able to respond verbally. She quickly went to a desk that was near her bed and rummage for paper. While she was doing this I decided to do a quick observation of the room.

If a theme could be nighttime, then this woman...or whatever, has it down pat. The ceiling appeared to have the night sky on it, the stars were even twinkling occasionally so I assume some magic went into this. The room did have windows, but the shades were very effective at keeping the light from the sun out. The bed had a lot of netting all around it, the sheets and blankets were dark, though it was rather hard for me to tell exactly what color they were through a combination of visor slightly blocking my vision and the darkness. No couches were visible, and the desk was was fairly well decorated with the occasional bit of gold here or there on it, the wood was dark in color and unidentifiable by me.

She came back to me, paper, quill and inkwell in tow with her magic. She handed them to me. I walked over to a wall and began to write down as many of the tests as I could remember. Most they did not give names to so I described them instead. There was the one where they applied small amounts of heat to me, then electricity, then water. Which was actually quite pleasant. Then they started to just generally observe me while casting spells. A few more that I had no idea what was going on and then they had Teleforce or whatever her name was lift me and judge my weight.

"Okay, they have done nothing out of what we would deem to... Of what I would deem to be normal." What was with the odd sentence structure? "Are you sure they did nothing else?" I simply nodded. "That is good. Until the final verdict is made about you I want you near me for...insurance that you are not going to run off." She winked at the last part. Heh, she might the only friend I have for a while.

We sat around for a small amount of time. Probably no more than just twenty minutes. She was about to speak when we heard a loud knocking from the door. She made her way over to it and about halfway through reaching it opened the door with her telekinesis. 'Ya know, if I did not come here from a place that didn't already have that, I'm sure I would freak out.'

"Ma'am, as you know it is approaching night time. Before you raise the moon your sister would like to see you." She simply nodded towards the guard. She looked to me, and a gasp escaped from her.

"Delta! Where did you go!"...Oh yeah...Natural Camouflage...I motioned to her with my arm, making me visible once more. "But...I detected no magical presence, how did you do that?"...Didn't I already explain this to her? "It is of no matter right now. Come, we must go see sister." I felt a tug at my hand and a flash back of Rapture flooded my sense.

*DELTA VISION*

I was back in Paupers drop, I had just killed another big daddy for his little sister. She was tugging at my hand, eager to get to the next Adam filled corpse. Suddenly a splicer dropped from somewhere and began to run towards me. The little sister screamed, I bellowed.

*lUNA VISION*

"It is of no matter right now. Come, we must go see sister." I tugged at his leftmost limb, what odd placement for them. He stood still, un-moving and without any kind of sound or recognition that he heard me. I walked towards him. Rather unexpectedly he seemed to roar and run forward. His large metal contraption began to spin at mind boggling fast speeds. Reacting on pure instinct I picked all of him up with my magic (A feat easier said than done.) and threw him against the wall. From what I heard of Starswirl's reports about him, he could take and excessive amount of force.

He grunted and stopped moving. Good...sort of.

Author's Note

I am terribly sorry it has been so long since I have posted a chapter, I have been rather busy with some things at home/getting a job/school and many other things that are a bit more personal...but here is a crappy chapter as an attempt to appease any people that have been waiting for a new chapter...sorry.
