"Again he stops for just over ten minutes, then starts back up."

"Wait.... have you timed it?"

"Why the hell would we time it?"

"I don't know, its sounds stupid but I want to see exactly how long he stops for and if its the same each time."

"..... Maybe you should be in the cell."
"Hey I just want to see if the numbers have anything to do with the pause time."

"You're going to go insane over him. Many have."

"People have gone insane over him? Why?"

"They do exactly what your doing: Asking to many questions and expecting to get answers."

"Okay! Ten minutes. So it's a 32 digit number, so that's.... one... two... three... four... five... six...seven... eight... nine.... wow. do you know of anything important about a nonillion number."

"A what?

"Nonillion, a ninth place of digits. you know million is one, billion is two. Nonillion is nine."

"Okayyy then. No, I haven't even heard of that type of number."

Root

"im not the only one that heard that am I ?"
"No I defenetly heard that."
"Was it some pony here?"

"I..... I think it was Seico."
"T-that's impossible! he hasn't spoke a word other than the numbers since he put in here!"

"It was 'root' right?"

"I-I think so."

"Please captain calm down."

"I.... okay..... It was definitely 'root'."

"What the fuck does that mean?"

"A plant maybe?"

"Good break time."

"Do you think we should tell Celestia that he said something."

"I'm sure she wont care about him saying 'root'."

"You sure as hell did."

"Hey I was just a bit shocked!"

"Suuuuure."

"root...... root...... I've got nothing."

"I told you before! We cant find anything that relates to the numbers."

"But we have root now! That's got to mean something!"

"FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC! WE HAVE A BUNCH OF BLOODY FUCKING NUMBERS AND FUCKING 'ROOT'! TRY TO SOLVE THE PUZZLE EINSTINE!"

"Gah!!!"

"Again?!?!"

"What the hell are you yelling about?!?!?!"

"He talked again!!"

"Again? What did he say?"

" 'square' "

"Great he's moved from numbers to Geometry and Botany."

"Root and square..... Square root?"

"Possible. He seems to love numbers."

"The square root of what though...... Wait do you think its the number he keeps saying."

"Maybe, your good with numbers, what's the square root of that number?"

"You're... you're joking right? That's completely impossible. A thirty-two digit number?!?"

Author's Note

This is a test run. Please be as harsh as you wish!

The Magic Math Master

Author's Note

For this Chapter, to save your eyes and to keep the mod happy, just pretend that Seico is chanting numbers in the first part of the Cell scene.
Also NARRATION!!!!!:pinkiegasp:

The Magic Math Master

"Hello Captain, pleasure to meet you."

Celestia sat ontop of her throne, cirious as to why the captian of the Tartarus Guard would need to speak with her at such an odd hour.

"Same to you Princess Celestia."

"I was told you have a problem."

"Of sorts. You see, Private Red Stand and I were guarding Seico Bass' Cell. And well...."

"Is there an issue?"

"None that you should be worried about. You see, he started... talking."

"...Talking?"

"Yes."

"He always talks."

"No he means actual Equestrian." Red Stand explained to the left of the Captain.

"What?!?"

"Told you she would want to hear about it." Red Stand mumbled to Captain Steel.

"Did you check his cell."

"Yes, he is still secured in the Ironmare. He seems to communicating in the same way he communicates the numbers."

"He only said two words. 'Root' and 'square'. I suggested 'square root' and finding the square root of the 32 digit number he keeps chanting."

"I....I see." Celestia stated, Completely confused.

"We are mentally incapable of computing that large of a number, se we need to ask someone who can. I suggested Princess Twilight."

"You have an excellent judge of ponies. I can arrange a meeting with her for you but unfortunately she doesn't know about Seico."

"Would you care to tell her about him?"

"She should know anyway, I suppose."

"Thank you princess."

"Any time Captain."

"Hello, Captain Steel."

"Good day Princess Twilight Sparkle."

"So, what seems to be the issue?"

"Well I'm assuming Celestia told you of Seico."

"Yes she did, in general."

"Good. Did she tell you about the numbers?"

"Yes she did, she said that he has been repeating the numbers for the past nine-hundred years."

"Indeed. well it seems that he has 'spoken', per say, using the spell he uses to communicate the numbers."

"Well technically its not a spell."

"I-I'm sorry?"

"Oh er, its just that he cant cast spells in the Ironmare he's caged in. Its an absolute mystery but we cant exactly open up the Ironmare and see how he does it."

"... When you said she told you generally what's going on, I didn't think she told you everything."

"She said she told me only what I needed to know."

"Well... back to the problem. He actually communicated two words for the first time in ninhundred years. 'Root' and 'Square'.

"Square root?"

"That's exactly what Red Stand thought of. We thought of calculating the square root of the thirty-two digit number."

"Good idea! Do you have the number?"

"Yea I have It wrote down..... here."

"Okay.... lets see....."

"Are you going to calculate it now?"

"Of course."

"....okay."

"Pass the paper and a feather."

"Here you go."

"Thank you, now..... its approximately this."

5080056673023233.14496100708644932

"I.....You...... Wow...... That was incredibly fast."

"Thank you, I guess."

"The number doesn't seem to mean much does it."

"No not really... maybe if I square it."

"Go ahead."

"...... well look at that."

"What is it."

"This number isn't a thirty-two digit number. it's a decimal."

"How do you know?"

"Because. Its the square root of six-hundred and sixty-six!"

"..... You best be joking me. He was right."

"Who was?"

"Red Stand, he timed the delay between each time Seico said the numbers. It came to a total of six-hundred and sixty-six seconds. He said it was all important but I said it wasn't. he was right."

"We still don't know what it means actually."

"No, but it is more progress made in last two days than it that last nine-hundred years."

"I would assume that it is his escape call, how many years until he escapes. Many criminals have done that."

"But that's all we can do... assume."

"Precisely... well I must be going, I'm going to be late."

"Farwell Captain."

"Thank you very much Princess."

"Please, just call me Twilight."

In the Tartarus dungeon

This sucks...

This really sucks...

I have to sit here listening to this maniac all alone because the other two guards are off duty and Captain Steel isn't back yet.

This sucks....

"hey"

"GAH!!!!!!"

"WHO WAS THAT!"

"Hey red boy over here."

"WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE ARE YOU!!"

"Would you stop yelling."

"Who are you."

"It's me! you know, the "maniac" in the cell."

"You..... how..... your talking!"

"wow your a slow one aren't you."

"HEY!"

"Yes im talking now shut up before someone hears."

"Hehehe im... im insane... yea that's it im crazy from listening to that mad pony and his numbers."

"you not insane... at least not yet. I need you to listen to me."

"Your a voice in my head why should I listen?"

"Although technically I am currently a voice inside your head, you're not insane; I'm quite real."

"Prove it."

₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴₴

"Princess Celestia!"

"Ah Captain, any luck?"

"Yes it turns out that Red was right about something but all we know id a three digit number that is seen twice in Seico's numbers."

"That number is?"

"666."

"hmmm."

"Unless It means anything to you ill be off. Red Stand is at his post alone and I don't have a good feeling about it."

"Okay Captain your free to go."

He's getting too concerned in this. I don't want to lie to my own captain but I must. For Equestria.

Technicalities

"How are you out of the cell?!?!"

"You ask a lot of questions."

"....."

"I'm not out of the cell. I'm projecting myself in your sight so that only you can see me."

".... so I'm crazy."

"Your not crazy."

"Prove it."

"I know more than you."

"Oh really."

"My name is Seico Bass. Son of Sanity Leak and Melody Philharmonic."

"Okay... didn't know that."

"Sanity Leak was the Element of Sanity and Melody Philharmonic was the Element of Music."

"Alright I believe you."

"Melody had another child with a man named Crescendo Bass. I was raised by him and Melody so I was named after my second father."

"So why did they call you Seico, and why is It spelt differently then in psychology."

"Well my mother noted that I would take the title of Element of Sanity; She found I fitting. And the reason its spelt differently is... I'm not actually sure. My mother was always a creative woman. Also, psychology is the study of behaviour not mental stability."

"What happened to Sanity?"

"I lost mine."

"..... Ha...."

"Oh come now. My father was a bit crazy... probably an understatement but I'm sticking with it. He was sent to Tartarus for his and our safety. If he died, all of Equestria would have gone insane."

"Makes sense, but is he still here? You said that you took the title of Element of Sanity."

"He was put in here after he got my mother pregnant, And he died about 10 years after I was born."

"Ouch."

"Perks of being insane is that your almost never sad or depressed."

"Right."

"Your still scared of me aren't you."

"You've killed some many ponies, why haven't you killed me. Also why are you telling this."

" *Sigh* Your shift is over in one hour we'll talk when your alone again."

"O-okay."

"Hello Private!" Exclaimed Steel joyfully

"AH!!! FUCK!"

"... You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I um... its nothing."

"Sitting here with him creeping you out?"

"Y-y-yeah..."

"Here take the rest of the night off."

"You sure?"

"Yea of course! Graveyard watch with Seico alone for three hours while only a private, its harsh."

"Even better." Seico said to Red Stand.

In Red Stand's Quarters

"Okay Red, I'm going to tell you right now, most of what you know about me is a lie."

"How? It's all officially recorded and filed away."

"And who, exactly is the official that clears the files?"

"That's... Celestia... you mean-"

"She LIED to Equestria and the Tartarus guard about me for six-hundred and sixty-six years!"

"What do you mean six-hundred? I was told that you've been here for over nine hundred."

"She betrayed me! I was in here for the good of Equestria. I was here to save her neck. If I didn't she would have been killed, or at least de-ranked as princess and thrown in Tartarus, leaving Equestria without a princess."

"Why?!?! What happened?"

"We.... were experimenting with the mental state of ponies......

Celestia was, simply put, scared of Equestria; afraid of what she had created. She had seen criminals, tyrants, her most proud

accomplishment, ponies, were the embodiment of evils. She need a way to defend herself, she turned to me for help. She knew that I

knew ponies mental states, abilities, limitations, capabilities. She wanted me to help her lead the pony race... she didn't want to lead...

she wanted to control. I believed her, not sure why... probably just because she's the princess, and we got to work creating an 'Anti-

corruption' the fucking irony. It didn't work, apparently me being the Element of Sanity has down sides. On a experiment on a pony, who

murdered twenty-four ponies and offered to partake in the experiments, Celestia decided to try reforming the mental state that he was

in. This backfired, and it fucked me up bad. I flipped shit and when on a rampage killing anypony I saw. I suppose the homicidal

tendencies of the pony I was working on backlashed. Celestia, thankfully, stopped me and I was able to 'fix' myself after a few days.

The damage was done though, 1 350 ponies killed in thirteen hours. I suggested that I went to Tartarus for the appropriate amount of

time in order to keep the public away from Celestia. In return she gave me immortality of sorts that increased my life span to twenty

times that of an average pony. The trial was settled on 1 000 years, which is the maximum. We agreed that I would be set free after 250

years so that the public would forget. After said 250 years I 'demanded' to be let out and that I felt I paid the price. That bitch declined

and sent me back in! As they dragged me away I told Celestia that Id kill her if I got out..... what? She completely betrayed me!.... I've

been giving her warning ever since with the numbers whilst making it seem like I'm just a insane criminal. She probably shit herself

when she heard that I talked..."

"So here you are... now what."

"I need your help. Celestia is REALLY scared of me, so much that she put a class eight prison spell on my cell."

"You need my help getting out."

"Exactly."

"So I'll be looking at life in prison for prison break of a maximum security inmate of Tartarus."

"I can guarantee you will not be punished for this."

"How?"

"Think about it; Celestia's AFRAID of me. Just think of what the upper crust thinks of me."

"True..."

"What do you say?"

".....I'll need help."
