Day: Celestia dammit, I can't remember, maybe what, I'm 16, so about around 10 years now. I know you're probably wondering how I'm able to write if all of the contained objects aren't allowed to be around anything potentially dangerous, or able to be used against the staff. I'm a special case, you see, I'm what they call a Thaumiel class object, which means that yes, I could have been out of here ages ago, but they keep me around the foundation for 'reasons' well technically speaking, they use me as a communication bridge with other Keter class objects. Now then you're probably bored by now, so then, we've got time. Want to hear how I came here, or why I'm called SCP-[RETRACTED] sorry, even I have some secrets I won't share. Now, how about that story, huh.


Today's the day. Finally, after all this time I get to start school, and meet new friends, but for some reason mom and dad are acting very strange about something. I couldn't put my hoof on it, but a voice in my head kept telling to always hide, never let them catch you. 'With me being the stubborn colt I was, ignored a warning that would've prevented this mess from happening in the first place.' I was to excited about heading to school to worry, but what I didn't realize, was that as soon as I entered the schoolhouse that was going to be the start of my problems.

"Greetings class, now now. It's time to get settled down, because we have a new student joining us today" The teacher said, I paid him no mind and went to sit in the far back desk, alone and by myself for the time being.

"Excuse me sir, but could you please introduce your self to the class?" asked the teacher. "Yes, my name is Phoenix, and no I can't shoot flames from my hooves. Though, if I could do that I bet that it'd be pretty cool." I respond. After playing the meet and greet game, we did all kinds of activities, like played games, sang songs, and introduced ourselves personally. The one thing I found odd was the rainbow haired filly shooting me suspicious glances. After we introduced our selves, we went outside for recess. 'I still remember all of my classmates names, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Dumb-bell, Hoops, Raindrops, Cloudkicker, Ditzy"Derpy"Hooves, Thunderlane, Snowflake, Cloud Chaser, and Score.' Before recces, we were told that since it's near the middle of the school year(yes I know, but here in Cloudsdale once you're able, you start school) we were going to be going on a field trip. Once we got outside we saw one of the schools buses waiting, apparently the class was going on a field trip to the mall. Before we could get on the bus, Thunder, the three stooges, Fluttershy and the twins started coughing and had to stay behind for this one. 'Those lucky lucky bastards'

"Don't worry Shy, I'll get you something good from the mall." Rainbow tells Fluttershy. After that me and Rainbow start the good old fashioned game of sing along, we had the whole bus singing by the time we got to the mall.

"Now remember class, no running off, and please be safe." the teacher said as he stayed on the bus. I should have listened to the voices in my head screaming and yelling at me to get away from this place. Once we were inside the mall Rainbow and I went to the first store we found, but we took a wrong turn and wound up at the Spectra processing store. We entered the store, not aware of the imminent danger we put ourselves in.


As Dash and Phoenix ran to some part of the mall Snowflake, Raindrops, and I went to the new video game store, but as we started we suddenly heard the alarms go off, signaling an emergency. As we ran out of the mall and to the bus, we all realized that Rainbow and Phoenix weren't with us. Before any of us could run in to get them we heard a small series of explosions inside the mall. "NO! Rainbow Dash. Phoenix!" I yelled as the others realized what happened, as another series of larger explosions came from the mall, this time actually becoming visible. As we waited for the flames to die down, other ponies came by to see what was happening, I filled them in on what had happened and eventually word spread that two students were inside, because nearly all of Cloudsdale was here offering their condolences. As we all watched with hopeful expressions they quickly became those of pure terror, as a large rainbow colored fireball rose up out of the mall and above most of the other buildings.

"Who put Raw Spectra inside of a mall!?" I hear an enraged weather worker asked before the back half of the mall collapsed.


All me and Rainbow heard was the sirens, then those small explosions. Those weren't as bad considering that we weren't affected to badly, but I spoke to soon, as we were passing by the Spectra processing store, when what nopony expected or wanted to happen, happened. As we were running by the area around the store caught fire as we entered it. What happened next was pure hell for us. The damn fires caused the raw Spectra to overheat, and explode onto Rainbow causing her to scream in pain as boiling Spectra poured on top of her.

"Rainbow. NO!" I yell as I jump right to her aid, despite the boiling Spectra, flames, and slowly collapsing building, I only needed her to be alright, I needed her to live through this. As I reach her aid, what I saw was a miracle, and revolting. In spots you could see the bone and muscles as they moved, and in others, the skin was burned away leaving the meat to burn. The miracle was she was still living. Knowing that I put away all fears, and carefully picked up Rainbow and put her on my back. With a target in mind 'Survival' I ran through the flames, and as we made it to the doors, I could see the others outside. Some I knew, some I didn't, but I did know one thing, they were all carrying flowers and crying. 'Bastards thought we were dead, well I'll show them.' I thought as I ran up to the door, but instead of slowing down I ran right through It. The glass doors shattered, cutting my skin and allowing the boiling Spectra to enter the wounds. As we landed we hear the sounds of shocked gasps of the other ponies as they rush to my aid.

"Help her. She needs it more. Move Dammit! She's still alive" I shout as I collapse, but before I pass out I hear two ponies say something to the crowd. "Remain calm everypony. We will take them to the foundation, where they will be together, heal together, and cared for. Now move along." As he turns to look at Rainbow and me he smiles and we weakly grin back. "Well you two. Welcome to the SCP foundation, your new home." was all we heard before we blacked out
