"Gods cannot be killed, but they can still bleed."

Canterlot Laboratory, home to many odd and strange creatures and current employment place for many scientists, was located on the far side of Canterlot, away from Canterlot's booming activity. An earth pony trots towards a small square by the door and takes the card around his neck and swipes it. A clicking sound can be heard as the blue earth pony made his way into the large room. He walked the halls, noticing that no one was at their desks, eventually he found his and logged onto his computer.

"Hello, Mr. Test! You have one new message from Princess Celestia." The computer spoke to him.

"Princess Celestia, huh?" Mr. Test spoke to no one in particular.

He began to grow very curious and navigated to his email account and found the message labeled, "For Mr. Test". He clicked it and began to read,

"Mr. Test, you probably have a lot of questions regarding the lab at the moment, but there is something very important I needed you to check up on. Go to room D306 and send me the brain activity log, message me back once you're aware of your task."

This wasn't the first time that Mr. Test had received an email from the ruler herself, but the fact that she also knew of the absences as well startled him. He read through the message one last time before replying to her, "I'm on it, I'll have the brain activity log sent back to you after I visit the holding cell."

He sat and waited for her to reply, which she did a few seconds after Mr. Test's message sent, "Good luck, I'll be waiting."

Mr. Test got up from his desk and began to search for which cell Celestia was referring to, which took some time, but eventually he came across a door labeled "D306". He instantly began to get a sense of dread as he noticed the sign on the door which read, "WARNING: Must be kept under high security. Proceed with caution."

Shaking the feeling away, he grabbed his card and swiped it against the door, allowing him entrance into the room. The room was pitch black, but luckily there was a light switch nearby and he flicked it. He began to study the humanoid figure in the holding cell, its mouth covered with a breathing tube and arms and legs held in place with metal clamps. It wore a hoodie which was completely black along with its pants and tennis shoes.

Mr. Test shuddered at the sight of the strange being and began to slowly approach the computers by the cell. The creatures brain waves were normal. 'Princess Celestia will be pleased' He thought to himself with a small smile. He plugged a memory chip into the computer and the brain waves log began to immediately transfer to the chip. After it finished, Mr. Test grabbed his chip and began to walk towards the door until he heard a few blips coming from the computer.

Startled, he turned around and noticed that the creature's brain waves began to increase at a fast rate. "What the hell?" Mr. Test said aloud. He began typing on the computer, sending medications through the breathing tube, but nothing was helping. He looked up at the creature's cell and instantly noticed that it was missing.

Dr. Test feared for his life. He began to walk backwards towards the door at a fast pace, until he tripped over a pair of tennis shoes pointing towards the cell. Now laying on his back, he looked at the shoes in horror, as they turned towards his direction, facing the door. Mr. Test began slowly crawling on his back, still watching the shoes. Then, the creature's pants appeared, hovering over the creature's shoes, as if someone was standing there without a torso or head. The blue stallion immediately jumped up and ran towards the door. He was too late as the door closed all by itself.

He began to bang on the door, screaming, "HELP!" to anyone on the outside. He looked back at the clothes and noticed the creature's hoodie had joined the pants. The stallion watched on in horror, as the creatures face and hands appeared in their respective places. The creature's eyes were closed, as they had been in the cell, but they slowly opened, revealing the creature's pupilless glowing eyes and smiling face. Mr. Test began sobbing on the door, praying that something would happen and it would open.

The creature turned towards it's cell and began speaking, but it's mouth wasn't moving, "Finally free..." it trailed off, staring at the cell that had held him for so many years. It turned back towards the blue stallion and picked him up with it's demonic powers and levitated Mr. Test towards him.

"Please just let me go!" The stallion begged the creature.

The creature's voice began to fill the room, "Why should I let you go when it was you who kept me down here in the first place!" it began to shake in rage and a visible cut began to form around Mr. Test's neck. Blood began to squirt out of his neck as he began to gargle, choking on his own blood. The creature began to chuckle coldly as he levitated the dead stallion into the holding cell that it was once in. The tanks water and bubbles began to turn to a sickly red, as the creature looked in satisfaction at the stallion's slit throat.

"I honestly wish there were more of you, so I could personally show you what I'm capable of.¨

The creature began laughing, as it vanished, leaving behind the fading echo of its pleasure.
