A small introduction to Madness
Gods and Engineers
Previous ChapterIt was midday in summer, just a couple of days after his arival, Celestia's sun was out at its brightest, the birds were singing their tunes, and the flows were full bloomed. However not everyone was outside enjoying the beautiful day, Twilight and Jebidiah Christoff were still inside an all-natural no chemicals added tree house. Twilight was currently teaching Dr. Christoff the past history of Equestria. Twilight, if Dr. Christoff was correct at her acting and expressions, was really getting into the teaching.
"Long ago and now, there is a chaos deity called Discord." Twlight taught, but further on, Jebidiah started to daze off. He already read some of the history about Equestria. One of the books he read was about Discord, the chaos spirit. In Jebidiah's opinion, Discord was a nice thing compared to everyone else in his former world. Instead of killing the ponies, this chaos spirit just had his way of fun with them. In his world, the winner would immediately eliminate all competition and become a evil hearted being and if the text was right, it seemed as if this Discord have his opponents a chance to win, every single time. To be honest, he had a hard time failing to take over the world with the Auditor when he believed that Hank was evil, though he thought otherwise now, how could anyone or thing take over the world if they gave their opponents all the tools to defeat him. That sounded strange to him. And in conclusion from the book, he concluded that the book was either wrong or Discord was a really 'bad' bad guy.
Then Jebidiah felt a tapping on his shoulder, "Excuse me Dr. Christoff." Twilight said in a uncertain voice, as if she didn't know if it was alright to interrupt this person, "but I received a letter from Luna, as you learnt is the princess of the night and sister of Celestia. Luna's letter specifically told me that she found some of your friends."
Jebidiah raised his non-existent eyebrows, "Wait, whom and I thought I came alone." This was weird. If other people came, that means he either was still alive, or was dying this very second and had some weird last thoughts going around. And since he didn't know that ponies were this color until now and living was beautiful, he hoped it was the first. But then, how did he come here and who came with him? Hank, the Auditor, or Tricky hopefully didn't come, they would wreck this peaceful world.
Twilight jotted down some notes before replying. "Apparently 3 things like you or humans are you call yourself are here or in prison. Luna found them in her room and thus imprisoned them. All we know is that they might have tried to kill her and thus brings up a question: are you here to kill me?" Twilight hoped this wasn't true, but there was nothing to lose. Also before she came, she cast a truth spell, all for her safety of course. Also she kept it a secret that Celestia imprisoned three more humans, but that info could come later as her Mentor suggested.
Jebidiah laughed lightly, "I am not here to kill you." noticing Twilight's horn turn green, he was momentarily confounded but he continued his speech anyways, hoping a beam wouldn't come out and blast him. "But how did the 3 humans look like."
Twilight was happy, this human was speaking the truth, so perhaps, the others just had a bad landing. "One had red glasses and was huge while one had a hat and the other a bandanna." Maybe they were friends of Dr. Christoff.
Jebidiah was shocked, if he wasn't white already, he would be now. "I don't want to meet them." he stuttered out. Seems like either the whole madness world was dropped here, but there were no grunts, right?
In another prison cell in Canterlot, there were three A.T.P. engineers. After they all activated the machine, they were sent to a place unknown to them. To be honest, they didn't even know where their fellow mates were. They were attacked by ponies and promptly put in prison, not like they resisted since they were weak from the transportation. Their names or numbers were A.T.P. 003, A.T.P 852, and A.T.P. 153. At least they had some cards.
"This place is boring." complained A.T.P 852 as he playing war with A.T.P. 153 and losing badly.
A.T.P. 003 looked up from what he was attempting to craft and sarcastically replied, "Thanks for giving me another recap."
A.T.P. 153 looked outside while 003 and 852 were arguing to see a pony coming towards them. "Welcome to this happy jail cell!" he yelled, interrupting the other two engineers.
The royal guard outside sighed. He was here to send them to the two princesses, and despite trying to get his way out, he received the short end of the stick and had to do this. "I'm here to bring you to the two princesses."
A.T.P. 003 scoffed "I want to see the Queen."
"We don't have a Queen, only changlings do." retorted the royal guard.
"Well, your princesses need an upgrade."
The royal guard glared at the one human thing before opening up the door. "Attempt to escape and you will rot here." he stated.
A.T.P. 852 smiled before doing a small jig, "Huzzah! I'm out of this foul prison." Then he fell behind the guard. The other two engineers looked at each other before shrugging, it wouldn't hurt them.
The royal guard finally made it to the princesses' main hall, and he couldn't believe how easy it was. The human things didn't even try to run for it, it was like as if they were ruled over in their world by one being, but that thought was ridiculous. Saluting in front of the two princesses, he reported, "I have brought them here Princess Celestia and Luna, and I ask for permission to leave."
Celestia waved her hoof, signifying her permission, before looking at the three almost identical prisoners. "Welcome to Equestria." she said benevolently.
"Yay, now what?" replied 003.
"I mean, what is the difference from our world?" stated 153, "There still is possibly a super being who rules over all."
"Do you have pizza?" questioned 852 with all sincerity.
Luna had enough of these babbling idiots. They probably didn't create the machine that sent the humans here anyways. "SILENCE YOU FOOLS!" bellowed Luna in the Royal Canterlot Voice.
Celestia nodded thankfully to her sister before she looked back with a neutral face at the humans. "Now, I would like to know information about your world."
"We have pizza." answered 852.
"Guns for days." replied 153.
"Idiots by the bucket." spoke 003.
Celestia shook her head as the three things babbled onward about anything, or one of them. "Speak one by one or else." threatened Celestia.
Out of the three A.T.P. engineers, 852 spoke first, "Can I have some tea?"
Luna levitated the tea pot before smashing it down on 852's head before smiling at the remaining two, "Who's next?"
The two remaining engineers looked at each other before 003 spoke first. "I am 003, my friend here is 153, and the fool there is 852."
Celestia then took over the interrogation for there was no more violence needed. "You more likely already know, but I am Princess Celestia and my sister here is Princess Luna. If you answer some of my questions, I will see to it that you will be given a second chance in the near future."
153 looked at 003 and hand gestured 'When was the first chance?'
'I don't think they gave us one.' 003 signaled back while speaking to the princess "Then answer away."
Celestia took hold of an item taken from the other three prisoners. "What is this?"
003 looked at the weapon, it was a QBZ-95 and it seemed to have special modifications on it. "It is a gun." stated 003. He gestured 'There are other people here, I think the strong ones too.' to 153.
"Well then, what is a gun." asked Celestia.
"A thunder stick." laughed 153.
Luna glared at 153 before picking up a chair with her magic, "Do you want to sleep too?"
153 put his hands up and shock his head. He didn't want to sleep quite yet, he might as well be silent.
003 face-palmed before responding for 153, "It is a technical device that shoots out lethal metal pieces."
Celestia and Luna exchanged looks before asking another question.
003 sighed, it seemed like it would be a long day.
