Forget Your Realityby LunarGazer1500ChaptersBroken IllusionsThe Tyrant and her lapdogChoose Wisely''Monster''The SubjectBroken IllusionsSeptember 10, 2014. This was the day Twilight decided to continue her investigation.It took her three days to get back on her hooves and back to business,she of course had still been upset from the unpleasant conversation that had occurred but regardless of that she did not yield but she did dread of what she would find out. So once again Twilight, with a bit of assistance from her magic opened the door once again to the outside world, this time she would not seek answers from those of Ponyville but instead go directly to Princess Celestia because after all it was said that ''you're all monsters'' rather than the sentence only referring to Twilight only. Twilight took a brief moment to think to herself. ''Perhaps I should use a long distance teleportation to avoid time consumption but it will take quite a bit of my power and render me tired or sluggish at the least and there's no telling how this visit will go, maybe flying is the best course of travel in this moment, And maybe I should inform Celestia that i'm-NO! If I tell her I'm coming and if just by chance she is doing something that could be vital to this investigation then she could cover it up and this would have been all for nothing.'' After finishing with her thoughts Twilight wasted not a second more, She unfolded her feathered lavender colored wings and began to flap them, seconds later her body lifted off the ground and began to ascend, she started flying in the direction of Canterlot Castle. Thinking of her ETA Twilight assumed she'd be there in an hour,and so she was it took her exactly one hour to arrive at the doors of the massive ivory white castle. She stood at the entrance ever so hesitant to enter, not knowing of what secrets she would uncover.But even so the Alicorn Princess did not yield she merely inhaled and exhaled for a brief moment and entered the castle. Everything seemed normal upon entry, guards were aligned in the halls, the castle staff was at work as usual. The only thing missing was Celestia but she was probably in her room, so with that mere guess Twilight cautiously walked to Celestia's room . As she drew closer and closer she could hear her ex-mentor yell at some pony.She had yelled at the top of her lungs, Twilight could hear the immeasurable amount of anger and frustration in Celestia's voice. Twilight stood by the door and listened to her mentors words as carefully as she could. ''How...THE FUCK DID YOU LET HIM ESCAPE!! I SWEAR YOU ARE THE DUMBEST, MOST IRRESPONSIBLE PIECE OF SHIT PONY IN ALL OF THE LAND!!! I-i just don't know how could 8 guards including yourself LOSE THE SUBJECT AND NOW HE COULD BE ANYONE OF US HIDING YOU KNOW WHAT GET YOUR SHIT YOUR FIRED!!! Twilights eyes widened at her mentors foul language,Celestia had always been so calm and docile with immeasurable patience but now it was clear that someone as nice as Celestia could lose her mind but regardless something was going on and ''the subject '' was key to this mystery. Twilight walked away from the door to avoid being discovered by any pony her new objective was to find the subject and get him to talk, while walking Twilight once again started to think to herself;thinking of a plan to find the subject. ''I'm not so sure where to start at this moment it was said the subject could be many one of us, I don't even know if the subject is timid or shy or even injured, my best bet is to avoid Celestia and look for ponies that seem possibly more worn out than our usually tired guards or talk to the few who may look secluded from the rest, that's the best I've got for now...'' Twilight ventured through the long halls carefully eyeing each pony as carefully as possible' her first destination inside the castle would be the barracks, that's where all the soldiers would take breaks and talk to each other. The Tyrant and her lapdogThe words spoken by the subject became embedded in Twilights mind, she couldn't even describe this situation now.In her mind Twilight desperately struggled for the correct words to fit the current situation. "Atrocity..?no...Chaotic?..not even close, the best description is vulgar but...perfect in a sense, to be precise this is just fucked up i mean...genocide of the weak AND changelings t-this cannot be true i just need to go to Celestia's room and look around a bit but i bet i'll find nothing!" Twilight muttered to herself as she strolled through the corridors of the castle. She didn't want to believe this was happened right now in her reality, in her life nor she didn't want to believe that her trustworthily ex-mentor would ever do such a terrible thing to anypony but even though she tried to reassure herself Twilight knew this was going to lead to a catastrophe at any given moment now, she knew to much now to just succeed in ignoring everything. A short while later Twilight came upon the door to Celestia's chambers, she just stared at the door, her heart racing in her chest and her mind forming thoughts of what horrid and disturbing things were on those recordings. "The despair of this dreaded moment...it has visited my mind....and its knocking at the door.." Twilight's voice trailed off into a low, meek fearful whisper, her own body began to tremble with each new thought in her mindm she reached one shaky hoof out to the nob and twisted it slowly while pushing it forward to open. The room was lit by the light of a lamp, Celestia's room seemed ordinary, it was clean and had all that belonged to her neatly put away and her bookcases full of spell books, guides and books on general knowledge layed in the case as they should. Twilight took a moment to scan the room with her eyes to carefully spot anything out of the ordinary, a few papers layed on her table scattered about on the surface. Using her magic Twilight levitated the papers to her and began to read the first one. Paper 1 Date:August 31. Title: Subject Data #202 Curent state:Deceased Life span after "cure":8h 22m 13s Personal Note Subject 202 was quite resilient to my "cure" i have begun to notice the more 'rebellious' one is to my serum the longer they can resist it.My next alterations to the "cure" will be the following : Immediate induced depression upon expose airborne properties water resistance. drug resistance. I figure if the depression feature is added resilience will drop quicker than there own bodies, that is all for now. Twilight had finished reading the first page. Silenced by the written words, she went to the next one, Paper 2 Date: September 7th. Title:Subject 203 Current state:Unkown~says to feel "broken" and is indeed suicidal (Due tio depression effect of cure) Current life span since capture: 2 days Personal Note I have not yet done away with this one, this particular and might i add lucky pony is helping me test the new alteration for my "cure" The depression effect has worked better than expected, upon contact an abundance of depression was almost instantly put upon the pony, he has become suicidal, whiney as well as his esteem going to an incrediblly low level to sum this up his mental stability has been crushed, he is so depressed that he is even agreeing with his imminent annihilation he so desperately wants to perish.This is simply magnificent! (Update notice, 203 has died on September 8, i allowed him to take his own life, i figured i'd let him have the pleasure of taking his own life, especially since other matters came into play.) Twilight finished that paper and began to go for the third but a soft "hello" interrupted that, she needed not to turn around because it was so simple to identify the voice, The voce of the supreme ruler, the mentor, the tyrant Celestia. "H-how long have you-" Celestia interrupted "Since the end of page 1 Princess, so is it not intriguing Twilight? is it not fantastic? Image it my dear! the strong living in one beautiful country as one and I, You, Luna and Cadence as the rulers of this new age of strenghth and peace from the weak who have binds on our souls compelling us to answer there pleas and cries. Ah! such beauty it will behold!" Celestia exclaimed in a boastful and prideful tone "Your....Your just..." Twilight held her tounge, afraid that the words she wanted to speak would be her last. Im just what? a ruler of infinite wisdom? dont be so reluctant to this Twilight, everyone is in on it. Cadence, your friends, your brother, Luna and even the mayor of ponyville. Twilight from day 1 of your life in ponyville has been planned for you all by me and i do indeed mean EVERYTHING from you and your friends harnessing the elements to your battle witb Tirek, i mean WHY do you think i have you around Twilight, i surely need not of a student all this time youve been my lapdog and a good one you have been but, you seem to always find loopholes in anything you can no matter how i try to keep you away from me and my work. I refuse to use you as a subject simply because you are useful.So Twilight now you know the truth your life with me has been an extravagant farce and its been fun but....it ends now. Choose WiselyTwilight froze, her mind had been overcome with this new information. ''A farce a...lie and everyone's in on it I...I just don't know anymore..I've lived a lie.but how can that be when..my friends a and I have had so much time together and fun and you and I have been through..lots of things I just... Twilight gave up on her explanation it was no use, this is what her life really was now and she had to make choices. Celestia slammed her door shut and faced her student or more affectionately known, the lapdog. ''Tick Tock the clocks ticking, you have three choices, you can either give up your title and leave Equestria, be part of my magnificent world And all it will behold or you can submit yourself to me as subject #206. Choose wisely, it could be costly. Twilight stammered ''What gives you the right to decide for me....you...i-i hate you and will now always hate you..everyone thinks I'm a monster they think I do what you do to ponies,they- Celestia Interrupted ''Oh would you just shut the fuck up already? Twilight I don't care, and I never will all that matters is this moment because this moment will decide your fate and need mind you if you leave you are banished from my country, perhaps you can live with what's left of the changelings if they haven't died already.'' Twilight gulped ''Don't have much of a choice....do I? Well then...I hope you rot...'' Twilight threw her crown on the floor and reached for the door twisting the nob,there were nothing else to say, Twilight's life was a lie created by a tyrant and that was it. The truth hurt but it always will because as it is said, light will cast away the darkness. Twilight immediately returned to her castle and packed important things she would need for her one way trip, a picture of she and Celestia stood on her table it was framed. With a hard swipe she knocked it off the table and stomped on it till it was ruined. All she had now learned recently hurt her, but what hurt the most was how she enjoyed her life. How she enjoyed everything and everyone the lie brought her. Twilight finished packing she put her sattlebag on and headed to the train station, once there she bought a ticket to the outskirts or Equestria, it was no longer her home nor a part of her life so when the train arrived she got on it and left Equestria, left everything never to return to her life or interact with anyone she knew in it. ''Monster''Princess Twilight Sparkle. Twilight still loved that official title, it meant a great deal to her and every one she knew, it meant she had power and responsibility in Equestria for as long as she lived.Although her duties would indeed get tedious and annoying she still loved her position among Equestria's government. Although she loved Equestria and everyone else she knew, something hadn't been quite right with lots of ponies she interacted with. They seemed scared of her for some odd reason. This had plagued Twilight's mind on a daily bases so today she decided to finally investigate. Twilight opened the castle door and entered the outside world, looking around to spot some pony to talk to in order to get her investigation started.She walked up to an elder mare with a frying pan on her flank for her cutie mark, she was feeding bread to some nearby birds. Twilight tapped her gently. ''Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle. Well more formally known as Princess Twilight, I just wanted t ask you a few questions if it isn't too much.'' The elder mare hadn't turned around to face Twilight, a small drop of sweat slid down the side of her head. From this it was obvious to indicate that this pony too had been afraid of her, but even so Twilight waited for the mare's answer. ''Wh-why of course Princess it would..be an h-honor to help you''. That mare had lied through her teeth to Twilight because of the fear that was striking her now, this whole situation is all so peculiar to Twilight now but she knew through investigation that she would find her answer even if it took months. Twilight sighed ''I just want to know why is everypony so bucking scared of me? I use to have many friends and lots of respect but now every pony is just 3 seconds away from running away from me like I'm going to hurt them or something! Twilight took an short breathe then exhaled ''I just want to know what's wrong so that I can fix it.'' Twilight explained, holding back her vast amount of frustration with a forced smirk on her face. The mare faced Twilight, in her emerald colored eyes Twilight could see fear and sadness in them and nothing more. The mare lowered her head, biting her lip as if she was struggling to choose the exact words for her next sentence as if she had chosen a poor choice of words she would perish. The mare looked up at Twilight once more, releasing her lip, she began to studded. ''N-no disrespect Princess bu-but you're all....all..Her words began to trail off into a whisper, a whisper that was filled with so much fear and so much regret. The mare didn't even want to finish her sentence but nonetheless she gathered the last bit of her courage and whispered ''Monsters'' as quietly as possible then quickly trotted away from Twilight. Unfortunately Twilight had perceived that last whisper. ''Monsters'', it echoed in her head the word was in an inescapable loop, that's what every pony saw her now, that's how she was defined. She was no longer defined as beloved or respected or even friendly to anyone as far as she knew at this moment. Twilight wanted to cry, she wanted to shed so many tears right now her eyes had began to water as she walked away, she decided that it was best for her to return to the ''Castle of Friendship'' (as she had dubbed her new home that she gained from using the rainbow power and defeating Tirek) Twilight dragged herself into her private room and layed face down in a pillow, her tears immediately poured out, wetting the pillow. All that time, gaining friends and respect and love from all she encountered had now gone down the drain , her once good name and even better formal title as Princess had now been tarnished with the degrading and disgusted new name of ''Monster'' It felt as if a sword had just pierced her heart slowly to ensure lasting agony. For now and the rest of the day Twilight wallowed in despair and would continue her investigations at a later date. The SubjectTwilight entered the barracks, everything seemed normal for now every pony were talking to each other about things from there own personal lives most of the chatter was indistinct and unimportant at this time all that mattered was the subject.Twilight scanned the room for what could be the subject, there was a lone pony in the distance drinking something in a flask he looked a bit odd from every pony else so with high hopes Twilight approached the armored colt. "May I have a word with you soldier?"Twilight said speaking near the colt's ear. The colt nodded and followed Twilight out of the barracks and into the hall where it was silent and empty. The colt silently stared at Twilight not uttering a word, not even a simple ''hi'' was said to her he just stared. Twilight met his eyes and then began to speak. ''Hello um soldier I needed to pull you aside for a moment, I promise I won't take up much of your time, I actually just wanted to ask if you were okay you seemed...I dunno lonesome I suppose'' Twilight asked giving the colt a warm smile. The colt scoffed at Twilight. ''Tsk now your worried but you were nowhere to be found when Celestia and her guards..when they..they.. His words trailed off into silence, it was obvious to her that this one was the subject that was loose in the castle, The one that got away.Twilight didn't express it but she was quite happy to see that she got to him so quickly, it had been all thanks to her plan and actually also to Celestia for releasing her anger. ''It's okay tell me, what happened what did she do?'' The colt sighed. "She wiped out half of our hive with some kind of.....poison and is now...using it on any pony she has some vendetta about mass genocide of the weak or ''worthless'' as she often has said, I see now that you alicorn princesses are nothing but monsters, she records every death that poison deals...that dirty bitch..no you dirty alicorn bitches...I hope you all burn to death '' An angered expression drew upon the changelings face as he spoke and an awkward silence filled the hall. Twilight was silenced with disbelief, this had to all a dream she thought just some sick twisted dream, Celestia would never want to cause mass genocide of a race or of any kind of pony for anything, Celestia wasn't a tyrant she was the fair, ever regal and an ever merciful ruler of Equestria who always did what was best for every pony...right? At this point Twilight's mind was boggled with mixed emotions and so many questions about everything but first she had to see the recordings.
