Chapters 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

Right first SCP story. Tell me what you think, and I will not delete anything. (Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated) The character and story tags will come in as I see fit. This will be the start of every chapter up until the breach.
Fear of the known and the Unkown
Well now I know the foundations records aren't perfect, but they do block what others shouldn't be seeing. Anyways, This is supposed to be the part where the story begins, but you must understand me when I say this. You have to understand, here at the foundation, we have to be experimented on, and are forced to be held captive against our will. One of the worst things is that we all are called SCP's all the time. But enough about that, you want to know more about the foundation and the other SCP's. Don't ya.
As I regained consciousness, I noticed we were no longer in Cloudsdale, but in some weird building. The walls were completely white, and everypony was looking unnerved just by being the same room as me. As I try to move my hooves to stand I see what looks like a spear pointed directly at my face.
"Halt, don't move or else we will use force against you." The pony before me says to me. I could care less but my first question was answered as a pony wearing a white lab coat.
"Hello, it must be rough having to wake up in a new location for no reason. If you're wondering I am Dr. L, and I will be the doctor helping you and Rainbow adjust to the foundation. All I want to know is this." He said as five pony models are placed in front of me, five behind, and one on each of my sides. "Now I want you to stand up, and attack the five targets in front of you, the five behind you, but protect the two at your sides. Begin. Now!" L shouts as he taps his hoof onto the floor. I slowly start to stand up without much resistance. The first thing I notice is that the targets are wearing orange jumpsuits that read D-class personnel. As I slowly stand up I think the targets move away, like they flinched. Now that I'm fully standing I start growling at the targets 'Wait I've never growled, I try to be as friendly as possible.' as I approach them, my vision enhances and I can start hearing voices in my head. 'I don't want to die.' 'Please let me live, I've learned my lesson, I'll be a better pony.' 'No! no. Get away!' while I hear the voices in my head I start to get angry. When I do that I feel something in the back of my mind snap. Any and all control I had went away, as I flew straight into the nearest target, and as my hooves connect with its simulated face I see my hooves are on fire melting it. As this goes on I start to feel sick, that's when I look down, and what I see disgusts me. The targets face was being burned and the smell of burning flesh reached my nostrils. What truly made me revolt, was that as its face burned it screamed in terror and pain as flesh burned away, the bones were charred black or burned away completely. All that was left of its face was the back half of its head, as blood and grey matter started to pool at the front of where its face once was.
That was when I realized I just murdered another pony, and liked it. The other "targets" stared on in wide eyed horror as they realized not only were fates sealed, but nothing would save them. As I took flight I looked at a mare trying to look as small as possible in the corner. 'Orange kind gives you away.' As I hovered there I got to wondering, if I can create fire, could I create beams of fire or fire projectiles. With that in mind I turned my attention two a group of about four "targets" huddling together for protection, perfect. I started to concentrate all my energy to my front hooves, I start to feel a small surge of heat, and when I look down I see a small ball of fire. 'Based on the power this has I'll only get one shot.' Knowing that I put my hooves out in front of me, and fired the small ball at the group. The thing is, that ball of fire hit one of the "target" that it hit, though not a direct hit, did immediately combusts, screaming in agony as it's burned alive as it fell dead, charred black and looking like charcoal. The next few minutes are spent with me wailing on the other targets. To spare you a long and boring fight scene, I'll tell you how the final eight "targets" died. Two of them had their necks broken, three of them I hung with their entrails, one had its bones broken, and bleed out on the floor from the exposed and open wounds, the last two caused me to come to terms with what I realized a long time ago, these weren't targets, but living*, breathing* ponies.
The second to last one looked me in the eyes, and smiled at me as I was lifting him up in the air, before I launched him at the floor head first, resulting in his head exploding in a display of blood and brains all over the rooms floor. 'You know the floor and parts of the walls now have a nice coat of blood covering them' I thought. The pony whose death who touched me the most was a mare, a pegasus to be exact. Her death touched home, because of what she said as I slowly crushed her head. "NO! Please spare me, I have a loving family. My husband, and two beautiful foals, you wouldn't cause two foals to go motherless, would you." I hesitated, and let her stand up from under my left fore-hoof. 'Now understand, it wasn't me who killed her, but the late, Dr. Redhoof, who killed her.
"I would kill you, but I refuse to hurt a family in any way." I tell her. As she turns to walk away I hear the sound of a body hitting the ground, and a soft splat. As I turn around the thing I see causes my blood to boil. The mare I spared was stabbed in the head by a doctor standing nearby with a smile on his face. What he said to me was the most fucked up thing ever.
"So close, you almost passed, but fell victim to her lies, now then, go back to see your 'precious' Rainbow Dash. You freak." He spat. Yeah no. That's it no more of your shit, she had a family,Rainbow is the only friend I have, you do not insult her, or kill a mother for the sake of killing.
"You little shit. I've had it with this place, if you wanted to see a monster well then get ready, because I will make this quick." I growl at him. Before he can register what I told him I ran up to him , grabbing hold of his head. Instead of merely breaking his neck, I twist his head a full 360 degrees around, forcing his neck bones to internally shatter his jugular vein, killing him while causing massive internal bleeding. Before I can continue to mutilate his body further than I did, I'm suppressed by the ponies I saw before.
"Now now Phoenix, you must control that temper, but don't worry. You will see Rainbow in a few minutes, when you wake up again, you and her will be reunited, then the true experiments can begin. This was merely to see how you'd react to other ponies, and I'd say you did poorly, don't worry. So did Rainbow. Luckily for you both, you two will be placed in the same containment room. I will also conduct interviews to see how you two are progressing, and what object class to place you two in. So, for now. Goodbye" He says as he puts on a gas mask as the room is filled with this strange gas.Getting tired, wait this is knockout gas! I think to myself as my vision slowly fades to black as my consciousness fades.
"Uh. That's what. Six SCP events this week alone, alright put the two new subjects with the other four. Now! That was on order." L tells the other ponies in the room.
"Sir. not to question direct orders, but are you sure putting two potential Keter class objects with those four is the best idea."
"yes, Lieutenant. I do" L tells the lieutenant. "Alright sir, as you wish. Alright men you heard him put these two in with the other four SCP's" he calls out to the others. A series of yes sirs rang out through out the room.
As I slowly regained consciousness, I notice that I'm on a cart with Rainbow being wheeled to a room marked with the words "SCP foundation:Site 19"
"Welcome to the foundation you two, or as you'll know it. Your worst nightmare." I don't like how he said that so nonchalantly, as we were taken into the room we were blinded by the brightness, and lead into the room and to the unknown.
Author's Note
If you haven't figured it out yet, when ever 'this' appears in the story, the modern Phoenix is telling you his two cents on something.
Yes, I know that the other entries are lacking, but trust me I think I found another entry on Site 19. After this, who cares what I think You'll have what you need, so just leave now, unless you're interested. In that case prepare your anus. For here is another data entry dug up from the foundation site. I also know that You've probably gotten bored of me talking to you, so after this little entry here, you should be all caught up.
"Ok you two here are the ground rules, as well as some basic knowledge of what goes on around here. First, you are in the SCP foundation Site 19 to be exact. Second, you will be kept under constant surveillance, so don't try anything stupid. Third, I am known as Dr. L and I will be the first and last thing you see if I catch you freaks out of line, got it. Fourth, I wan't no trouble, if I call you, you come. Finally, and most importantly. Have fun. Oh and before I forget, when Phoenix regains consciousness, tell him what I told you." Dr. L tells us as we were put onto a machine that carried us into the main room of Site 19. I hope Phoenix will wake up soon. As we reached the end, I could see a blinding white light 'what's with these guys and the color white' I think to myself. As I'm doing that I hear what sounds like concrete scraping across metal, as well as two ponies arguing over something like fashion. My little audible search is cut shot as I hear a few groans from beside me. indicating Phoenix is waking up.
"Phoenix, am I glad to see you." I say as I go to wrap him in a hug, something weird happens, I pass right through him. "Ok then, that was weird, lets try that again." He nods, and the same thing happens. 'This is getting to freaky, I mean I'm going through Phoenix, but not through this ramp.' I think to myself in fear as the light from the center is approaching us quickly. 'I need a way out of here.' I mentally panic as we are thrown from the ramp into the room, and hit the metal floor with a dull thud. I quickly open my eyes to see a pink pony in front of my face say "Hi there, I'm Pinkie Pie." I look at the pink pony in front of me, then back up because she creeps me out.
Phoenix P.O.V.
"Pinkie. Stay, you know we talked about this, no killing the newbies until they've met everypony." I hear somepony say. Kill me? Never. I open my eyes, and find a pink pony who I'm assuming is Pinkie, based off of common logic. Once I see this I am suddenly filled with that rage again, and rush over to her. Once I get there I stop in front of her as I realize that she's made out of concrete. I smile knowing this will never take my life, but my mind immediately changes when I blink and I feel my neck being snapped by the statue. I blink again, broken neck, I repeated this out of confusion for the next few minutes, when I'm suddenly racked by pain as I remove my head from near the statue, but even though my eyes are shut, I feel nothing, except for the fact that my vision now looks like that of a bugs. As I walk towards the wall, the sight I'm greeted to nearly causes me to vomit. Instead of having two eyes, I'm covered in hundreds of them, all blinking on their own, all looking at that fucking statue. As I slowly calm down, I notice that the eyes start vanishing as I calm down. 'Ok, that was way to freaky, good thing Rainbow didn't see that, actually, where is Rainbow?' my question is answered when she emerges from the wall next to me, although there is a lot of spectra left on the wall from where she emerged.
Author's Note
Here you go this is what the foundation(not really I just did some editing) has available on me and the other Site 19 SCP's. God you're lucky I'm considered class 5 personnel, otherwise You'd still be guessing what everypony's data files would be, or have already been terminated upon O5 request in that case I will send your families the ashes of your corpse. (also, this will be the shortest chapter.)
Hey listen, I know what I said about this little entry here, but this is the last one of these. Reasons being is I just ran out of foundation data to use, so now the story can finally begin. Ain't it the best thing ever.
"Now then, if you two would please follow me, I'll show you around the entire correctional facility." Dr. Sparkle tells us as we trotted along behind her. We kept in silence the whole way, the only thing making any sound was our hooves clanging against the grated metal walkway. The walk wouldn't have been so bad, if there wasn't the smell of death, blood everywhere, and the walkway was a tunnel.
"If you look ahead of me now, you can see the first office, or as Pinkie calls it, the only place I'm not a statue room. The reason for that is that she only moves when you close your eyes. She just gets so excited by new arrivals, and has no control, she just has to give them a hug and that can lead to trouble really quickly." Sparkle tells us in a tone suggesting that this has been rehearsed.
"Now this wouldn't be a problem, if her hugs didn't break your bones, but thanks to the help of the facility, we eventually cured her of that unfortunate ailment in no time. Now she can freely walk, talk, etc.." I don't like at how easily she said that Pinkie's hugs can break bones, that could be fatal. As we enter the office the grated floor changes to concrete again, and we see ponies in lab coats working in cubicles.
The ponies wave at Dr. Sparkle, but what I failed to notice was that ahead of me, Rainbow and Twilight stopped, causing me to bump into them. The others looked nervous, as if they didn't know how Twilight will react, or Rainbow. I was mentally panicking as Twilight appeared to be fuming.
"Oh Phoenix, how nice of you to finally join us. Now that we are all here, we can continue onto the rest of this fine establishment. Come along you two try to keep up." She calls. I'm just weirded out by the amount of ponies all wearing the same thing, a lab cot and a gas mask. I quickly get up on my hooves, Rainbow following my lead, and quickly ran to catch up to Twilight. As we approach I slip in a goo like substance left over by Rainbow. As I lean in to inspect it, I notice it looks an awful lot like Spectra. 'odd' I thought, before shaking that feeling off and returned to trying to catch up to Twilight and Rainbow.
I notice that they slow down in front of a large metal door, before hearing Twilight speaking.
"And this little door here leads to where we will be going, but first I'd like to introduce you to Rarity, Applejack, Scootaloo, and our newest professor, Fluttershy." when she said that, my world shattered, knowing that she'd willingly work here of all places. Maybe she means somepony else, yeah that's it.
"Alright everypony, come on out and meet your new friends!" Sparkle says into an intercom next to the door.
"There ya' are Twi, ah really thought Rarity woulda' prissied me up here real quick. Also here ya go, welcome ta the facility." we hear a southern voice say through the intercom. As soon as the voice cuts off, the metal door screams to life, as its un-oiled parts grinded against each other, struggling as they slowly moved the door open. The first thing I saw was a white unicorn with a swirling royal purple mane and tail standing right behind the door.
"Greetings and welcome to this humble abode." She said flatly "I am Rarity, and you are having the worst possible fashion crisis ever my dear." She says while trying to reach a hoof out to touch my mane.
"No! Rarity, we talked about this. No turning the new guys into zombies." Sparkle says in a harsh tone. Turn us into zombies? what does she mean by that, or is she just telling a very bad joke? I hope it was the joke.
"Fine, at least tell Fluttershy to stop shape shifting, it's giving me the creeps." Rarity says in annoyance.
"Well Boo hoo hoo! Sounds to me like somepony's scared. As you should be, because, after all, who wouldn't be afraid of this. " She states while she changes from a butter cream colored pegasus, into a creature that has two giant wings made of glass, a body that's charcoal black and chitinous in appearance, with a black fragmented horn, and has a blue-ish mane and tail. 'What is that thing?' I think.
"Easy there Chrysalis, you don't want to go back to the correctional facility now, do you?" Sparkle states in a low but threatening tone.
"No." Chrysalis growls.
"Good, and this goes for everyone of you fucking wastes of space! If any of you step out of line. SCP-5315-J will have a blast with you!" Sparkle says as she exits the chamber and slams the door shut behind her.
Tentatively, I approach Rarity, while Rainbow approaches Chrysalis. I want answers and I'm going to get them, if not from Rarity, then maybe from Pinkie Pie, or this supposed fourth SCP is that was posted on the wall.
"Um, excuse me, Rarity?"
"Yes darling, what is it that you need?" She asks in a motherly tone.
"What exactly are you in here for? If you don't mind answering." I say meekly.
"I am a unicorn, you do know what they are?" I nod, "As for why I'm here, well when I was younger, my father tried his hoof at potion making. But unfortunately, I walked in on the ending of a potion that could restore youth. This wouldn't be so bad, if the potion didn't fly into the air and I never pushed my dad out of the way. I pushed him out of the way, but the potion landed and broke over me, at first everything was fine, and life was normal for everypony in ponyville. Then the changes started. They were minuscule at first, but I had to separate myself from the others, well, until my father sent a letter to the foundation. They claimed they could help, but all they did was take me away and experiment on me." She says while slamming a hoof in the ground for emphasis. "I know it's not as bad as Pinkie, Chrysalis, or Scootaloo. At least they can touch other ponies without turning them into mindless corpses of rotting death and destruction." She says while looking over towards Chrysalis and Rainbow Dash.
"I hope they find a cure eventually." I say, before walking over to Rainbow and Chrysalis.
Rainbow Dash P.O.V
I walk over to Chrysalis to give her a piece of my mind, imitating Fluttershy like that. Just who does she think she is?
"Hey you! What's the big idea impersonating my friend like that!?" I shout.
"I am called Chrysalis. I am locked to that wretched pony as long as I am able to feed." She says in a dual toned voice.
"What do you mean locked to? For that matter why are you even here?" I ask her.
"For a filly your age, that is an impressive question, so because that humored me, I'l tell you." I sit next to her and lay down facing towards her, ready to listen to this probably boring story. "When I was younger, I was exiled from my hive. I traveled far and wide, until I can to a place called Ponyville. It was a nice town with enough love to feed me for my entire life. But I met a filly by the name of Scootaloo, she was always so energetic and supportive, she wasn't off put by my appearance and was able to convince the town to trust me. She would take me everywhere with her, Celestia bless her soul."
"This tale isn't all light hearted, one day, Scootaloo and I were riding along the path to town and a yellow feather fell from the sky. This feather was magnificent, it was pure and gentle, everything I could not be. In an act of spite and anger I foolishly ate the feather, but when I did, I felt a bond like no other, and that bond activated my transformation into this 'Fluttershy' as you call her. This transformation is only activated when there is love nearby. In a panic Scootaloo rushed into town to grab Pinkie and Twilight. She grabbed pinkie first, and we ran to Twilight's lab as fast as we could. Once we were there, we called for Twilight, she came down the stairs, but wearing that same medallion you saw earlier. She lead us inside and into her lab, but once there we realized we'd made a huge mistake." She stops to let me absorb the words of her story.
"Pinkie was the fist to go, all we heard were screams of agony, bones breaking, and maniacal laughter. When that stopped we could hear what sounded like concrete moving on the floor. Twilight came out covered in blood, it was then that the transformation reversed, because there was no love to be had inside that lab. She only smiled a maniacs grin, before she took both Scootaloo and I in her magic and left us near a mana bomb. A mana bomb destroys everything non unicorn related, and it only sounds like a firecracker. The bomb went off, and we would've never been found, had a few other earth ponies and pegasi fell out the sky near Twilight's lab. I'm sorry, its just, if you want the rest of the story, speak with Pinkie Pie, or if you try hard enough, Scootaloo." Chrysalis says on the verge of tears. I get up and embrace her in a hug. Before she can respond, I say, "You earned it, and I hope it helped." She smiles and I walk over to Phoenix and nearly cry myself, if I hadn't tripped in a puddle of what looked like Spectra, only much darker, and much more corrosive. I look to see where it came from, only to find out that it's coming from, 'me'.
Author's Note
I realize that some of you want more details in this story, or any others I'll post, but that's the beauty of my writing style. It lets you, the readers, use your own imaginations to add as much or little details as you want to, or if you want, take your OC and use that for the story if you want. So that is how I'll write, just to hear what y'all can come up with.
Also the foundation cleared it, so long as I use public access info only. So no major secrets, also there never was an SCP petting zoo. Anyone caught to be claiming such an event must submit a form to the O5-A command.

Boring as hell chapter that's nonessential
Boring as hell chapter that's nonessential
Hello, I found something else while browsing the foundation archives, all Keter class objects are to be destroyed immediately, and that means Rainbow Dash is to be destroyed as soon as possible. But I'm sure you knew that, no, what you didn't know was that as a Thaumiel class object, Phoenix is used as a biological playground to try and control his powers and other Keter class objects(make them Object class Safe). If time seems to pass/skip to quickly, it's because I have my reasons. Sorry someone's coming, I have to go. Talk to you soon.
"Professor L. the two SCP's have been successfully transferred to site 19 and are fully cataloged."
"Excellent work Sparkle, what did you discover from your brief interactions with them?" L. demands.
"I learned that the pegasus with the Rainbow mane, should she be kept away from her friend under false pretenses, will enter a state of pure primal rage until she's either sedated or reunited." Sparkle says while handing L. a file encased in a magenta aura. "She also appears to be able to excrete a substance similar to unrefined Spectra, which she was found in once recovered. One little oddity of hers is when she touches anypony, they are slowly burned away until they are nothing more than a skeleton and severely burned flesh." Sparkle says matter of factually.
"Interesting, it also says here she can phase through walls and drag ponies with her." L. says incredulously.
"Yes, its quite the spectacle to watch, unfortunately once the ponies she takes with her return, they're either corpses, or to mentally broken to clearly rationalize any form of altercations, or interactions, let alone fathom any normal thoughts." Sparkle defeatedly states.
"There's nothing we could've done if this file is any thing to go off of. She is a Keter class object, and must be destroyed at once. In three, no, one hour, we'll offer a reward for the SCP's of site 19. The two SCP's that reach the mirror first will get to use the mirror and have amnesty from the Foundation. Am I understood?" L. calmly states.
"Yes ma'am. Don't you want to know about the other?" Sparkle asks with a twinge of worry in her voice.
"Is that fear I detect? You're better than this. But no, I do not need to read the file on our dear Phoenix. Before you ask, I was the one who over saw his arrival, and I saw his abilities first hoof. He is able to rationalize and think on a level not known to Keter class objects. Therefore,based on flawed logic, I'll mark him as a Thaumiel class SCP. Now that I think about it. We'll have that battle in 12 hours." L. says with giddy excitement.
"Are you sure?" Sparkle asks.
"Positive! Activate the control chips on the other three. Now! Bring the mirror, show them the prize." L. says in a serious tone.
"As you wish." Sparkle drones.
"Alright maggots, listen up! Professor L. is stopping by ta make an announcement, and I want all of y'all on yer best behavior." Applejack yells cutting through the silence like a knife. As soon as she finishes, the door begins to scream to life as the siren blares. As the door moves over along its track, two ponies walk through the opening.
"Attention SCP's of site 19! We are issuing a tournament of sorts, that benefits two of you. Located behind us is a dimensional portal. Where it leads is up to our choosing, but you six will have to race to see which two leave, and which four stay. Good luck, you'll need it. Sparkle, if you would."
"Begin!"
"That was fast, Rainbow, why did you warp us both in front of the portal?"
"Because, if I hadn't, you would've lost and I'd be stuck with one of those other losers." Dash says.
"Losers seems a little harsh doesn't it? Whatever, let's go through this damn thing before I question reality again." I say flatly. Rainbow waited for all of nopony, as she was through before I took my first step towards this portal. Just as I'm about to enter, Sparkle asks,
"Don't you want to say anything before you go? You know you can't return after you enter. You'll be stuck there for the rest of your life. What to do, what to do, how are you going to protect your precious rainbow in the dark without our involvement? You'd have to subdue her yourself, and we both know you can't harm her, or anypony here. Face it, you're worthless, never able to amount to anything, not even able to keep your friend safe those years ago." Sparkle says in a know-it-all attitude.
"Shut up." I growl, feeling my self control failing, causing my mouth to elongate and fill with razor sharp teeth.
"Did I strike a nerve there. What are you, a useless excuse of a pony, going to do about it?" Sparkle all but laughs.
"Keep it up, I dare you." I threaten. As I feel my fore-hooves, and back hooves, disfigure and split on the ends into claws. While small sines appear on my neck and spine. My tail extends and becomes more rigid along with my wings, which grow a small claw on each joint.
"Oh look! Hey L. get a load of this, our nopony is trying to be threatening." Sparkle says, as she calls over L.
"Pathetic, isn't it, you think I'm afraid of you, colt! I'm the thing that haunts your nightmares!" L. yells.
"Then this shouldn't scare you one bit." I growl. I turn to face the duo, just as I start to grow in height. As I'm growing, my skin doesn't, ripping off of me with sickening sounds of flesh tearing and splitting.
"L. What's happening, this isn't like him. He normally just sighs and listens to what we say."
"Sparkle, I think that, thing, is our end." L. says with acceptance.
"No, your end, not mine. I've still got 939 to save my soul." Sparkle says smugly, "Enjoy eternal damnation in tartarus, you won't be missed." Sparkle says as she teleports out of the room. I pay her no mind as I jolt into an attack position, removing any skin left on me, revealing a bony plate from my head to tail. My tail is nothing but bone, and my underside is revealing all of my muscles, bones, and entrails.
"If you kill me now, make it quick." L. says.
"Fine." I growl as I lunge forward and clamp my jaws down on L. severing him in two. His hindquarters fall to the ground, bleeding and covered in his entrails. His wings fall separate, still fluttering about due to muscle spasms. I turn back around and approach the portal, and with out thinking, walk into the unknown.
"What do you think it is?"
"I don't know,it just appeared out of thin air."

NEWS
1. My original editor has been sacked and fed to 682 as lunch. I don't like it when I have to leave out chunks of my story because they are "Too terrifying." no shit, it's the SCP foundation, I'd be surprised when it isn't terrifying. I also had to leave out Rarity's complete back story, why Chrysalis is permanently bound to Fluttershy's astrophysical form. I was also forced to 'tone down' Scootaloo's appearance(by leaving it out), and sense the previous chapter was so maliciously hated by me, my editor payed for it dearly. I had to scratch another line onto SCP-1543-02(The Orbital Sun Cannon).2. Someone suggested I send SCP-106 and SCP-682-R to the canon Equestria, to which I will leave up to you, the viewers, to decide whether or not I do that(~~because I don't know~~ Screw it lets go!). I was also told to pick up the pace and make the SCP's fight, to that I say. No.3. Finally, Until I get a new editor, or pre reader/proofreader (mine just looked at SCP-069 in the face) the story will be edited to the best of my abilities.4. Anyone interested knowing that I just have to say one word to the O5-A command, and 'Into the fiery orb with ye.' On a side note, You've now met SCP-682-R's normal, watcher, and dragon forms , what's next? Who knows, probably the giant.5. Holy hell, do you know how hard it is to write a country accent, next time you see an author write one, give them a huge pat on the back. That shit's harder than it looks.
Screwing the canon, one step at a time
"Ugh... That's the last time I do all the drugs before looking through a mirror again." I say shaking my head. I stand up shakily, and look around to get a good idea of where I am.
"Well, it's brighter, and happier than the foundation. Smells cleaner too, I wonder if the ponies are nicer here than in the foundation." I muse aloud, unaware of the pony approaching from behind.
"Well howdy there! Don't think ah've seen ya 'round these here parts o' town?" A southern voice says behind me.
"Gah! Don't startle me like that, It's not a good idea to scare me like that." I warn without turning my head to her.
"Ah'll keep that in mind Mr...? Ah'm terribly sorry, but I don't think ah caught 'yer name." The voice says. I turn my head, out of curiosity, to get a better view of who's talking. I'm greeted to an orange earth pony mare with a blonde mane ending with a red band tying her mane back. Her tail was the same way, She also bore a large brown stetson upon her crown. She looks familiar, but I can't put my hoof on it.
"If I tell you my name, will you tell me yours?" I ask.
"'Course I will. Only seems fair." The mare says.
"Very well, I'm Phoenix." I tell her flatly.
"Phoenix? That's it? No last name, 'jus Phoenix? Alright, Ah won't hold y'all against 'yer own name." She says.
"Just uphold your end of the bargain." I say harshly.
"Alright. Ah'm Applejack. Best applebucker this side 'O Equestria." She says in excitement.
"Applejack? I'll grind you to dust! Wait, no, different universe different rules, I'll make you wish you were never born! " I shout as I start to tremble with rage. It's blinding, clouding my senses and judgement, as I didn't notice Applejack start to approach me.
"Now why in tarnation would ya do that fer? Ah haven't done anything wrong to y'all yet." Applejack says, glaring at me, "Hows about ya tell me where yer from, an we'll work from there." She says comfortingly.
"I'm from Site:19, Professor Applejack . How could you not recognize me?" I demand.
"Ah don reconize ya, 'cause Ah've never seen you before in mah life." Her answer slaps a little reality in my face as I realize I'm in another dimension. "An' what's this so called site nineteen?" She questions me.
"Site:19, of the SCP foundation. Used to contain, control, or destroy objects from harming the planet of Equus. I'm one of the SCP's. SCP-682-286, or SCP-682-R. A Thaumiel or Esoteric Class object." I drone, like a broken record.
"What?"
"It means, I'm a freak, and I'm from another dimension. Against my better judgement, I think I'll trust you, only because you haven't tried to strap me to a table and dissect me yet." I joke to her.
"Dissect ya?" She asks.
"Well, yeah! I have a calming effect on other ponies, except for when I'm angry. So the lab boys decided they wanted to know how I work." I say as I stand up and begin to walk towards a barn. Applejack calls out to me, but I ignore her and keep walking along the dirt path towards the barn.
"Wait. What do ya mean, other dimension? And why'd ya say y'all were a freak?" Applejack asks, after running to me, I try to ignore her and keep walking, but she jumps in front of me, "Ah won' take 'No' fer an answer either." Applejack says.
"Fine. Yes, I'm from another dimension, and I'll trust you to not tell anypony my real name, got it." I deadpan, "Ah got it, no tellin anypony." She promises, "I mean it, I will kill you if you tell another soul. My real name is Blazing Skies, but call me Phoenix in public, and I won't have to hurt you, or worse." I say. I thin about how I'm going to explain the freak thing. 'I could just create some fire, no, I could do that before the accident. Oh! I know, just mutate my left fore hoof into a claw, and then say I can change any part of my body.' I was so enthralled by my mental pre-planing, that I didn't notice the tree I was walking towards.
"Careful there!" Aj calls, right before I smack muzzle first into the branch of the apple tree. Aj starts laughing, but I was in no mood to be laughed at, or laughed with.
"God dammit! I've had it with today, and today's events." I shout as I throw a flaming hoof into the tree, igniting it upon contact.
"Hey! there was no reason to do that! Ah was jus' laughing at the moment, that's no reason to burn one O' my trees!" Aj shouts at me.
"I'm sorry, its just that, I'm in another world, that's a lot to take in at once, I doubt you've had to experience that. At least not to this level anyways." I say with a smirk as the tree is nothing but smoldering coals now. I'm about to take off and fly away when I hear Aj speak up.
"Look, Ah may not have gone through what you jus' did, but Ah've run away once before, and that felt like a whole different world ta' me. So it may not be ta' your degree, but Ah know what it feels like." She says to me, sounding censer. I decide to not fly off, rather, follow Applejack as she shows me around the farm.
"Hey Applejack! Are you ready to get to work, oh, who's this little guy." A voice says, coming from a purple unicorn.
"So... Why are you two doing this again, and thanks for stopping me back there." I say as Twilight looks away.
"Cause A made a bet with Big Mac that whoever finishes their side O' tha farm last, has to walk down Stirrup Street wearing one O granny's old girdles!" Applejack says in delight.
"And just in time, I'm starving." Twilight says famished, "Don't mention it, I just acted as I saw fit. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less."
"True. Shame Ah'll never get those trees ta' grow again' properly, but who knows, they might come back, jus' better than before." Aj says doing her best not to buck me clear across the orchard.
[Magical sounds]
"Oh, what's this? A letter from Princess Celestia. Here ye, here ye! yadda yadda, since I enjoy spending time with you. Here are two tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala! One for me plus a guest!" Twilight exclaims.
"The Gala! Twi, ya have ta let me go. It'll give me a chance to raise money fer the farm. We can finally replace tha saggy ol' barn, Big Mac could replace that saggy ol' plow. And Granny Smith could replace that saggy ol' hip!" Aj says with delight.
"I guess, if offered, I'll go. Only so I can go and check the Canterlot Archives for any information on the foundation." I say flatly. I get blank stares before a sudden scream breaks the silence.
"DID YOU SAY GRAND GALLOPING GALA?"
"Rainbow Dash! Were you spyin on us?" Aj questions. I'm brought out of my daze and into a state of confusion, 'I know its a different world and all, but I thought there'd be some differences. Everypony looks the exact same! If this universes Rainbow Dash and my universes Rainbow Dash stood together side by side, and she wasn't continually covered in Spectrum, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart. I'll stay silent for now, but if she says she recognizes me, I'm losing my shit.' I think.
"Phoenix?"
'I mean, what if some other ponies recognize me, and they're working for the foundation?' I mentally ponder.
"Phoenix?"
'For all I know they could all work for them, they'll take me back. They could've already taken back Rainbow Dash and I'm next! I mentally panic.
"Phoenix?"
'I'm next, oh dear Luna. I'm next. It was fun while it lasted. I think as I settle on my revelation.
"PHOENIX!"
"Gah!" I shout.
"Hello! I was trying to get your attention for the past couple of minutes. Did you catch the train to lazyville, population you. But in all seriousness, Why were you staring off into space like that? You just kept walking, and looking downward. Is something wrong?"
"No, nothing's wrong, just lost in thought. Is this a tree? In the middle of town. Why does it say Golden Oak Library?" I ask.
"Yes. It's the Golden Oaks Library, and it's also my home. Now if only these ponies would stop asking for my ticket to the Gala." Twilight says exhausted. I'm about to ask what she means, but she's grabbed by a crowd of ponies, all shouting her name. I look out at them as Pinkie Pie, as the pink one is called, mentions the Gala and sends the whole town on a chase after Twilight. I pass it off and walk inside the library. Opening the door I come across this dimensions Fluttershy, a butterscotch pegasus, cleaning the shelves, along with some animals. I walk up to the horse head statue in the center and stub my hoof.
"FUCK! Goddamn that shit hurts!" I shout, startling Fluttershy.
"Oh! Oh my, I'm sorry, I'll make sure it doesn't happen again. I'm sorry!" The mare squeaks out pathetically. I look at her through a pained stare, trying my best to apologize for scaring her, but she must've saw it as if I were in some sort of pain.
"Oh! Your hurt, let me look at it, if you don't mind, Mama Fluttershy will make it all better." Someone changes identities quickly, she just met me, yet, she's willing to help me for no reason.
"I'm fine, really, just stubbed my hoof. I feel fine, so don't worry about me. You just get back to... whatever it was you were doing. Cleaning? I think, or were you dusting?" I say, only for her to hide behind her hair. "I'll let you get back to work Ms. Fluttershy. You know, I've heard great things about you, but I prefer to hear facts from the source, not rumors." I say trying to coax her out of her shell.
"My name's Fluttershy, and well, yes. I'm the new Element of Kindness. If you don't mind me asking, have you heard about the Elements of Harmony before?" She asks. 'I deeply regret asking an introvert about themselves, now she won't shut up. Maybe if I leave she'll be quiet.' I reason to myself.
"And that's how we defeated Nightmare Moon. Hey, where'd you go? Weren't you going to tell me about yourself?" Fluttershy says in disdain. I stop just before the front door and sigh, before answering.
"Yes, but I lied, so... no, I'll be on my way now." I say, and as I reach a hoof to the door to leave, the door slams open sending me flying into the wall and onto the floor.
"Thank goodness, I thought those ponies would never leave me alone.... Give me a break!" Twilight shouts as she sees the group of ponies, "I've spent all day trying to figure out who to give the extra ticket to, but No! Now none of you get to go, because I'm sending the tickets back." She says defiantly. 'Wait, all of this fuss was over a piece of paper?' I think as I get aggravated at the current situation.
"Phoenix, do you want to say anything before I send these back to Princess Celestia?" Twilight asks.
"Yes, yes I would." I say as I walk towards the two tickets held in Twilight's magic, "These. These can burn in hell!" I shout as I shoot a fireball at the tickets, burning and melting them upon contact. I continue walking towards the stairs and tell them to, "Write to your Princess, she should know not to cause turmoil intentionally among her subjects. It only ends in tragedy and loss." I warn as I caress the crest and slam the door behind me, separating them from me in a bedroom.
"I wonder what his problem is, and how did he make that fireball without using magic? I better tell The Princess about him, and to tell her about the Gala tickets."
[POV Change]
"Ugh, where am I? Am I in a castle, it looks more like a dungeon, only much much larger. It's badly damaged, and the overgrowth doesn't help much, Wait, am I alone?" I pause before yelling, "HELLO! IS ANYPONY HOME?" The echoing of the walls confirms it. "I'm all alone. Again."

The chapters will come out less and less frequent due to school work pilling up, and With a hurricane on the way I want to get this out before I (might) go powerless.
Second to last, I decided the portal will make them enter the show of the ponies we all know and love.
Finally, Phoenix(Not my OC, someone else's) landed in Sweet Apple Acres(convenience whore 1), and Rainbow landed in the Everfree Forest(convenience whore 2), to be met in a later episode. (After the Ticket Master)
Universal Rage; Darkness's Return
'Ugh, my head. Where am I?' I ponder as I try to take in my surroundings. It's dark, except for where I'm standing, which is white, I start walking around aimlessly, the white following, until I hear a voice.
"Blazing Skies!" I hear a voice shout, "You have somethings to explain to us, 'est you wish to awaken from thine slumber!" The voice shouts.
"Shut the fuck up! I didn't fall asleep only to be mentally bitched at. Now, either show yourself, or keep hiding like a useless coward!" I shout to the voice.
"YOU DARE CHALLENGE US? THE RULER OF THE NIGHT AND WALKER OF DREAMS? Either thou art very brave or foolish, we think both." The voice says dual-toned. I'm about to respond but the black void of nothingness is replaced with a sparkling blue astral plain, revealing a midnight blue unicorn-pegasus hybrid thing with an ethereal mane and tail, that sparkles as if it's as alive as the cosmos. The pony also had a black broach, crown, and hoof guards adorning it.
"We are Princess Luna; raiser of the moon, harbinger of the night, and guardian of the dream realm." "...." "Why aren't thou bowing? Is that not custom anymore?" Luna asks confused.
"No, ponies still bow, but I'm not a citizen of this country, planet, or universe. But; if you can do what you claim, then, Nolite Ego celare." I say, catching her off guard.
"Thou speaks the language of the ancient Romane? We thought that died off many moons ago, along with them." She finishes. Before I respond she regains her thoughts, "Right; Blazing Skies, Thou art a being of great evil and yet, equally harmonious. My sister wishes you to take up amenities among the Elements of Harmony, and report to us with your reports. Eventually we will meet in body, not in mind, and we'll expect a demonstration of thine prowess for the masses to observe." Luna states with definiteness.
"That's not the best idea, maybe in private, and just to you and your sister? I don't want to cause a panic and be dissected again." I say as Luna stamps her right hoof onto the 'ground' of the plain.
"WE MUST BE OFF, GOOD LUCK AND WE AWAIT THINE RESULTS!" Luna shouts as she slams her front hooves down, cracking the plain, and sending me into a free fall towards nothingness. Just when I think I'm done falling, I'm jolted awake before I hit the black murky bottom of the astral plain.
"That's it! I've had it with this shit!" I shout as I wake up and realize that I'm still in the library bedroom and still in this dimension. I angrily get myself off the oak wood floor, and shake my head in an attempt to wake myself up. I proceed to slam my hooves as I walk out of the room and down the stairs.
"Good morning Phoenix! How are you today?" Twilight asks. I look at her and leer, "Get bent." She looks taken aback by my statement.
"That's not how we talk to other ponies young colt. what would your mother say about that?" She says sternly.
"My mother's dead, and so is my father. Also, yes it is you purple cunt." I say coldly.
"That's harsh." She says. "No it isn't." I respond, "So I'm told your name is Twilight Sparkle; Element of Magic, and Protege to Princess Celestia. Before you respond, I'm also told to spend today with you, knowing full well I'm not liable for any and all damages that follow me." I drone. Twilight looks perplexed by my statement.
"Well, yes, the former two things you said are true. I wasn't told you'd be spending time with me today, but I don't mind it, it'll give me some one new to talk to! Finally, what do you mean damages?" She asks confused.
I mean damages, like property, life, environmental, and personal. Like this." I say as I race across the library to the main door, only to turn and break it off of its hinges, shattering it into several small splinters. I shield my eyes from the blinding morning light, in a futile effort, and quickly retreat back into the library only to meet an angry looking purple unicorn.
"Do you know how much that door costs? Neither do I, so I'd appreciate it if you'd not do that again. Now come along, we need to go into town and purchase some food for us. Now, lets go." Twilight says sternly. Sh walks out of the library and into the street of this land. I reluctantly follow her out of the library.
In the street, my eyes are assaulted by vibrant colors, there are ponies of varying palettes and color schemes everywhere, I change my pupil back to its serpentine appearance, opposed to its pony counterpart. 'Why did I trust the dumb broad I met in my dream, I should be searching for Rainbow Dash, no, 106. We need to survive this place together.'
"oomph... Hey watch where you're going. You totally killed my vibe." I brush off the impact and shake my head, I gaze up and see a white unicorn with wild blue hair and purple glasses covering her eyes.
"Dude, sweet! I totally want a pair of contacts like that! Where'd you get them?" The unicorn asks. I tilt my head in confusion before responding, "They're real, and not fake. Now I'll be going, don' follow me." I say slightly growling. I walk off leaving a stunned unicorn behind, "Crazy fucking bitch." I say, accidentally a bit too loud. I choose to ignore the gasps of shock emanating from the crowd, that is until I hear a certain voice come from my right.
"Phoenix, you can't say those types of words in public. But, in other news, I did find out there's a traveling show pony in town. We should go and see her. Come on, lets go!" Twilight says, grabbing me in her magic field.
"Come one come all! To the Great and Powerful Trixie's grand performance!" A voice announces, before appearing in a puff of smoke.
"Ugh... great, I'd rather jump in the sun cannon than be here." I say, causing a few ponies to look at me. Some in curiosity, and others only to look at me like I had two heads. 'I can make that happen.' I grunt at my foolishness in talking aloud, "How could I be so stupid. I cant believe I said that, now these dumbasses are going to try and... Wait, no they won't." I say in a hushed tone.
"Well well well, it looks like we have some Neigh Sayers in the audience. Who thinks they are so great as to defy Trixie." Trixie demands. Before I look away, Trixie assumes that I dissed her... in some way.
"You! Trixie challenges you to a showmares challenge. First one to Dazzle the Crowd wins!" Trixie says triumphantly.
"Alright, you're on. I choose hidden talents. Host moves first." I say politely. Trixie obliges and does a competitors bow.
"Trixie will gladly go first, and save you the embarrassment." She says, the ponies start laughing at her comment. Trixie begins her first act with a simple fireworks display, using greens and blues to get the crowds attention.
"Your turn. You'll need all the help you can get." Trixie says to me. I nod, and smirk. I simply hold my left hoof in the air.
"That's it? All you do to best Trixie. What do you hope to do..." I interrupt her by igniting the end of my hoof in flame, and shooting the fireball upwards above the crowd. Once it's high enough, I jerk my hoof down, causing the fireball to explode in a magnificent display of reds, yellows, and oranges. I look up, just as the sparks begin to fall, leaving me speechless at my own performance.
"I concede." I say flatly.
"What?! You can't forfeit, this contest has just begun!" Trixie says getting impatient.
"Tell you what, if I concede, somepony else must take my place. Somepony like, you. Twilight Sparkle, or you Rarity." I offer. Trixie ponders before nodding.
"Alright, which one of you two shall it be?" I ask, Rarity wastes no time, in volunteering Twilight.
"Look, I know you don't want to, but my talent isn't magic, it's finding gems for designs." Rarity hisses into Twilight's ear, "Besides, you'll have our support." Rarity says comfortingly.
"I don't know, if I win, I'll be showing off just as much as she is." Twilight gestures to Trixie with a hoof. "I refuse to look like that." She says and runs off back towards the library.
"So if there's nopony else to challenge me. Then Trixie is the Greatest Unicorn Ever!" Trixie says as fireworks explode around her in a grand display of magnificence, and excellence.
"I bet Trixie could vanquish an Ursa Major! eh?" A 'slow' sounding colt declares, "Yeah! I bet Trixie could vanquish it in no time!" A prepubescent colt shouts. Trixie unwittingly, blinded by her ego, accepts. Before anypony says anything, the two colts break off in a mad dash to the forest.
The towns ponies return to their mundane tasks, while I walked back towards the marketplace, only to be stopped by a certain yellow pest.
"Hello there Phoenix. I waited like you said, and now I'm ready. Do you think you're ready to tell me about yourself? I promise I won't ask you for anything else for a while." Fluttershy pleas.
"Look, Fluttershy, I believe you, but I am not in the mood for this bullshit. I also have to go and run an errand for Twicunt Sparslut. So... Actually, I can tell you one thing." I say deviously, shutting my eyes.
"What's that Phoenix?!" Fluttershy says giddily.
"This!" I say lashing a fang filled mouth towards her, while opening my eyes, revealing piercing serpentine pupils. "Here's the thing I'll tell you. If I say leave me alone, I FUCKING MEAN IT!!" I shout at her. Fluttershy starts to get teary eyed, and begins to whimper.
"Don't. Don't cry, I only did that to give myself some peace and quiet." I say in desperation. Her reaction isn't what I expected.
"You mean that mortifying me was an excuse to have peace and quiet." Fluttershy says, her rage ever growing. "Well let me tell you something else. You do not do that!" She screams, narrowing her eyes. For the second time in life, I was honestly scared. I look in her eyes and catch sight of the stare she as giving me, that stare made my blood run cold. Only for something to ignite within me, something long that lay dormant; pure rage.
"Well maybe I wouldn't have had to do that if you hadn't just taken a hint." I say igniting myself in flames. Fluttershy turns from serious threat to tiny puppy in two seconds. The flames circling and hugging my form, casting menacing shadows, creating the illusion that I'm death himself.
"We're done here." I say walking forwards towards Fluttershy. She bolts away in tears, once gone from sight I extinguish the flames and continue with my trite task. As I'm walking through the market, some of the towns ponies stop me.
"Hey! We saw what you did to Fluttershy." One pony says.
"Your point?" I ask raising an eyebrow.
"Our point is that, you've made yourself a target. Nopony does that to Fluttershy. The last pony to make her cry, well, lets just say they aren't around any more." The mare says with malice. I smirk and start laughing. Before they ask why I'm laughing, a large roar is heard shaking the very foundation of the town. Before anypony could react, two 'slow' colts come rushing out of the forest.
"TRIXIE!" The two shout, rushing past us. Before any of us question it a large blue star bear come lumbering out of the forest. I look on in rage, as I don't want any of that shit.
"You here, angry mob. If I wreck this things shit, can we call it even? No, too bad." I say as I sprint off towards the giant bear. "HEY FUCK FACE! COME AND GET ME! " I shout as I begin to grow in size, I wanted to enter the dragon form, but something else surfaced instead. I collapse onto the ground in pain; as my muzzle elongates, my teeth sharpen, my eyes narrow, and four small ones appear under each of my larger eyes. I bring my hooves to my head, only to see the ends have already split into large and muscular claws. My mane recedes entirely and is replaced by my vertebrae, each one pushing through my skin, forming large spines along my back.
"Uhh... Are you alright?" One of the ponies asks from a distance. I don't respond, due to the pain, yet I try to stand. I feel a small hind claw appear above my hooves, only for them to separate into claws similar to my front claws.
"N-not now. wh-why did you choose now? Why y-you?" I ask silently as my wings relocate themselves in between my front and hind legs, each wing forming another razor clawed arm. My body is covered in thick armor like scales, and my tail becomes solid for one moment before splitting down the middle, each tail ending with a small bladed tip. I glance up through tears to see the town being destroyed by the giant blue bear; buildings and homes being crushed, innocent ponies dying when they shouldn't. At that moment the rage of this form manifested in one primal roar. This gets the ponies attention and the bears as well.
"Alright shit for brains. I've had it with this place. You try and be yourself and you're scolded. Now, you show up and just made my day worse. And if there's one thing you never do, it's piss me off." I growl in a shifting demonic voice. The bear looks at me and roars in challenge, I just smirk. Before the ponies or bear realize what happened, I rocket off towards the bear and slash through the things ear. I roars in pain and tries to crush me repeatedly.
{In Canterlot}
"Hmm? A letter, now? I wonder why twilight sen this?" The princess muses, although that musing is brought to a grinding halt as she reads the letter. "Guards! Ready yourselves! There's an Ursa attacking Ponyville. I expect you to arrive shortly after I do." The princess states just before disappearing in a flash of golden light as pure as the sun itself.
"Whats wrong ugly, can't handle something able to take as much as it can give?" I practically shout with pure insanity. I charge towards the bear again ready to finally end this fight, too many civilians have died today. I've ripped chunk after chunk out of the Ursa's flesh, lilac blood staining my maw, scales, and claws. The worst injury the bear's sustained thus far has been the loss of its' right forearm. While I've been beaten severely, my tails have been ripped off and my spines have been broken into small splinters, from the base of my spine. I rush forwards and launch myself into the air. I let out one final primal roar before plunging into the Ursa's mouth, and down into its' throat. I use my claws to hold myself in place so I don't slide down and fall into this things stomach. With my claws firmly locked into the lining of the esophagus I start to eat my way through the neck. My jaws snapping down on the neck lining. As I eat through the neck, I break a blood vein and my mouth is filled with lilac blood. My 'tunneling' stops for a brief moment before I continue in full force with renewed anger.
"Why is it that every time I pull ahead, you're there to slow me down? Well that ends now!" I shout, erupting in sparkling silver flames. The Ursa roars in extreme pain as I eat, claw, and burn my way through its neck. Within a couple of minutes, My jaws breach through the beasts skin, bringing forth the reservoir of lilac blood and esophageal lining forth onto the ground. I use my claws and pull myself out of the Ursa's neck just as the wounded beast finally succumbs to the blood loss. I decide to not return to pony form and enjoy my kill, "So much more meat on it than a pony." I internally muse.
"How can another creature like... you... do something like that?" A regal sounding voice asks, raising a hoof and pointing towards the town and the Ursa. I look more at the town rather than my meal. Apparently this white mare is important, because everypony and their mothers came into her presence. "Do you have an answer, or are you pleased with the result of your skirmish?" The white mare says. The ponies all looking at me.
"No, this shouldn't have happened. But I can't do anything now." I say flatly, but something about the scene was calming. The ponies were still happy and getting along, I also realized that I was returning to my normal form, due to the sickening snaps heard coming from me.
"Heh, No time like the present." I say halfway through my transformation, "To let a secret be revealed." I finish in my normal form.
"Wait! That lizard thing was you Phoenix?! Twilight shouts in surprise.
"Don't look that surprised, there was a whole mob of ponies who saw me transform." I say to the crowd.
"While I'm not sure what to say, except that until I have further proof you aren't a threat. Phoenix, I hereby sentence you to imprisonment in the Canterlot dungeons. Don't worry though, your friends can come to Canterlot with you." The white mare says.
"That was, no, it can't be. But just to be sure." I think to myself. "Maybe, just maybe, I can pass off as one of his friends, or I could break in and break him out."
"Soon, my friend, soon we'll be reunited. And I won't lose control of my abilities."

Add another form to the list with; Razor (That's what I call it.)
I didn't really like this chapter, but if you do, great! Be yourself. Next time; Phoenix and the Main 6 explore Canterlot, and run into a 'friend' of Phoenix's [Guess right and I'll use an idea of yours in a later chapter.]

The Rage of the Twin Demons
Author's Note
This chapter was a bitch to write because of having to address two characters with the same name, so I put all of the words SCP-106 (or the SCP Rainbow Dash) in bold, and left the cannon (am I using the right form of this? Eh.) Rainbow Dash's words normal. I also referred to The cannon Rainbow Dash as Dash, or Dashie. Except for when I'm only working with one Rainbow at a time, then I just leave their speech normal.
Fight scenes are so much easier to do when you isolate them, but transitioning between them is the hard part. I am hopeful for this chapter, I tried to experiment with it and this was the best result, tell me what you think in the comments (or don't, I don't care). There was also some character building to Rainbow, but you won't know what it is until the next chapter.
Fun fact, this chapters name has Almost nothing to do with the chapter
The Rage of the Twin Demons
Canterlot Prisoner Report
The prisoner named 'Phoenix' has been apprehended, and without incident or resistance. The prisoner claims audience with the Princess. When searching through the Equestrian database, there is no information on this pegasus. All we know is his appearance and his name. The only thing odd about the prisoner is that he has no cutie mark, despite being in his late adolescent years.
When questioned, he would only responded to ten questions, these are his answers; This was all that he said, other than that he was silent. The one thing odd, was that after the final question, a laugh can be heard in the background, followed by a scream. All we now know is that the prisoner is loose, and most likely on his way to find Celestia and LunaWhere do you come from? - Gaia. What is your full name, or nickname? - SCP-682-R. Nicknamed; Phoenix. Where do you live? - The SCP foundation, location classified. What species are you? - Originally, I was a hybrid of a pegasus and a phoenix. Now, I don't know. What?! Do you know what caused this? - Yes. Liquid spectrum. How did a liquid rainbow cause this? - It was boiling, and it entered several cuts on my body. So, why is that important? - Because Liquid spectrum is unstable! When inserted, forcefully or otherwise, into a pony's bloodstream mutations happen. Like what? And why should I care? - Classified. As for the why. There's another like me in this world. We came together, reborn at the same time. Twins, if you will, born through hatred, fear, and rage. There's another. Who is it? Tell me! - There's another here, yes. It's classified, you also shouldn't anger me. Final question. You must be honest, why do you seek an audience with the Princesses? - Simple, I require information, and your so called 'harbingers of knowledge' will provide me with answers. If, like you, they wish to live.
End of report
'I need to find my way into that castle, then I can finally reunite with Phoenix.' I think as I fly through the skies towards a town called Canterlot. The only thing confusing me is when asking around that rustic village from before, when ponies kept saying I was there when the Princess took away that transforming pegasus. I asked where she took him, yet they said I was at the event. But I wasn't! I was walking my way through that damn forest! No matter, I will get my answers.
"Finally, I'm finally in this fucking city." I say with hushed malice.
"Oh hey there Rainbow Dash! I didn't know you wanted to see Celestia early." I hear a voice say in excitement. 'wait, do I know her? Shit! Gotta make up a good lie.'
"Oh, " *cough* "Hey, I crashed into the castle due to the reflection. Who are you again?" I lie sounding as sincere as possible.
"Silly Rainbow, my name is Twilight Sparkle. We're friends, remember." She says buying the ruse.
"And uh, this Celestia, does she know where Phoenix is?" I ask, shifting my position slightly, trying to watch the sky.
"Yes, I don't know why you want to see him so badly, after all, he murdered an Ursa Minor. Why would he do that?" Twilight says, on the brink of tears. Just before I respond, I catch sight of another pony that looks like me, only she's heading this way, and fast.
"I don't know, maybe you don't know him as well as you think." I say beginning to warp into the ground, trying to minimize the Spectra residue. I slightly panic seeing how that other me is about to land, but luckily for me, my head disappears just as the other me lands.
"Yeah, I guess we don't him as well as we think, thanks Rainbow."
"For what?" I hear the other me say, as I try to mentally map out this castle. 'Ah ha! Now I only need to find the throne room.' I mentally cheer, as I begin to reemerge inside one of the palace rooms.
"Hey man, do you know why we guard a bedroom during the day? I mean, what pony tries to rob from their Princess anyways." one guard says to another.
"I don't know, but do you have any idea what that weird circle is doing on that wall over there?" the second guard says. 'perfect, I'll force these two to give me what I want.' I think darkly as I start to emerge from my dimension back into the physical plain. My head emerges first, and the first thin I see is two terrified looking guards holding each other and cowering in fear. I smile devilishly as I pull my body out of the wall, coating it in the spectrum like mucus coating my body. As the rest of my body comes through the wall I smirk at the two guards ponies in front of me.
"Hey there fellas! You look like you know this place pretty well. Which way is the throne room and the dungeons?" I ask the guards.
"L-look, just go down the hall and to the l-left. Just leave us alone." The guards plea.
"See, I would do that, but then you two can run off and alert the others." I leer as I start sauntering towards them, "Instead of allowing that to happen, I'll kill you both!" I shout, lunging at the terrified guards. I'm able to make contact with one, coating his cannon in corrosive spectra. He begins screaming in pain as his skin is eaten away, and the bone revealed in certain parts. His partner looks at me in terror, watching as I readvance on the first guard. Insteads of touch him and dissolve bits of the guard, I grab hold of him and begin to fuse into the ground, along with the guard.
"That bitch is a psycho! I have to warn Celestia!" The guards tirade is cut short as soon as I drop the body of his dead and decayed companion in front of him.
"GAH!" The guard screams in fright upon seeing the skinned and mutilated corpse of his friend.
"If you don't want to be skinned alive like your friend there, then you'll give me what I want. Now, tell me... Where are the dungeons?!" I shout in a distorted rage.
"Go to tartarus you bitch!"
"Strike one." I say flatly as I reach my hoof up and touch the right side of his face. He starts screaming in pain as the skin on the right side of his face starts melting off.
"I'll never tell you anything, do your worst." The guard spits. I say nothing, but comply with his demands and coat his entire right side. It starts to melt off, and in some places, all the way to the bone.
"Final chance asshole. I'd start talking if I were you. Or, I could always finish what I start." I say moving my hoof over the left side of his face. At first he says nothing, so I move my hoof closer; ever so slightly getting closer to his face.
"Alright! I'll talk! Just don't kill me!"
"Start talking." I say in a whisper.
"The dungeons are located right under the throne room, down a passage to the left of Celestia's throne. the Throne room is located at the end of this hallway, just up ahead." The guard says pleadingly.
"Thanks for the help, but you're no longer useful to me, or suitable to be a guard. You won't be missed." I say dragging him into my pocket dimension. I reemerge right in the hallway I was just in, and begin walking. When I hear voices come from behind me I mentally panic and fly to the roof of the hall.
"I'm telling you Princess, there was screaming coming from this spot."
"Is something wrong Princess?" That Twilight mare asks. 'If the white horse is the princess, then I just need to scan her mind for a few seconds... Bingo! Dungeons located.'
"Yes Twilight, I fear that somepony tried to take my life, but failed. Yet, they killed my two guards in a very gruesome manner." The 'Princess' turns to the guard on her left and orders him to do something interesting, "I want the bodies hidden, cover up the evidence. Nopony must know there was an attempt on my life. As for you, Twilight, gather the rest of the Elements of Harmony and meet me in the throne room." It takes every ounce of control I have just to not break out laughing.
"They're in for a big surprise once we're through with them!" I cheer, fazing into the roof, and emerging in the dungeon threshold. I start wandering aimlessly for a few minutes before hearing a voice I've been longing to hear for some time now.
"Simple, I require information, and your so called harbingers of knowledge will provide me with answers. If, like you, they wish to live." I hear him say; realizing it's me he's talking about, I enter an enraged state and slaughter ever guard personnel in the dungeon chamber.
"Took you long enough Rainbow. What kept you?"
"Good to see you too Phoenix." I say sarcastically.
"Alright look, their so called 'Princess' is right above us. I propose that we go up there and give 'em a what for!"
"Easy Rainbow, we'll go up there. But, I will have no killing. Not until we've gotten our answers about this universe." I say menacingly. Before Dash can question what I mean, I sprint ahead of her and up the stairs leading out of the dungeons. After a couple of minutes of running around, I find the exit, and break through it. I run through the Halls for few moments, before I see a guard ahead. I rush into the room, and pin the guard onto the ground.
"You! You should be in the dungeons, after you betrayed us." Twilight says.
"Twilight, I'm sure we're both reasonable ponies right? Well you're reasonable anyways, me, not so much. But anyways, I want answers and your Princess is going to give me what I need." I start saying, my pupils becoming serpentine, and my teeth sharpen. "Otherwise, we're going to have a certain mess on our hooves." I say snarling and leaning towards the pinned pony's neck.
"You shall not harm my Student, or any of the Elements of Harmony!" Celestia says.
"Yeah buddy! You've another thing coming if you think you can hurt us!"
"Oh, Rainbow Dash! I'd like you to meet A good friend of mine." I say glancing behind the group.
"Who'd be friends with you?" Rainbow asks.
"Me!"
"Ah, Dashie, so glad you could make it." I say holding back a laugh looking at their confused faces.
"Come out and say hello to your dimensional counterpart!" I yell with enthusiasm, as the Rainbow Dash I know begins to faze through the floor right in between the group. Their looks go from serious to confused into petrified.
"It's been so long since I've seen my old self... Damn, if I didn't dissolve whoever I touch, I'd give you a big ol' Cloudsdale greeting." Rainbow says to her counterpart. She starts to circle around the group of gathered mares, leaving a path of spectra in her wake.
"As interesting as it is to meet Rainbow's counterpart, but why does she look so disfigured?" Twilight asks.
"I look like this thanks to molten unrefined spectra. The fire didn't help either, but hey, what can you do?" Rainbow says as she approaches Twilight.
"Um, h-how does w-whatever you said cause t-that?" Fluttershy asks.
"Yeah! I've worked with rainbows before, and they've never caused injuries like that, ever." Dashie adds.
"Well, normally, you're right." Rainbow says, in front of Fluttershy, "But, our dimension functions differently than yours. The air offers less resistance, weather can form on its own, and the rainbows aren't made of just liquefied light." Rainbow growls.
"Then what are they made of?" Dashie asks.
"I'll tell you. The rainbows in our dimension are made from super-heated, supersaturated, liquefied light particles." Rainbow explains, looking directly at her counterpart.
"What my companion here is trying to explain is that spectra, in its unrefined form, is highly volatile, and you shouldn't get any of it on you. Since the results tend to end with the death of said poor unfortunate pony." I say, interjecting into Rainbow's near rant.
"I WAS GETTING TO THAT!" Rainbow shouts, getting into my face , "Don't you ever interrupt me again." Rainbow threatens. During the pause, I notice one of the guards reaching towards the ring of spectra.
"Don't Touch that Ring." I shout, but it was too late. The guard touched the ring with his hoof, which then began to dissolve, leaving only a mangled stub of burned flesh and charred bone. "I warned him." I say casually.
"That's awful! Why would somepony even work with that stuff?!" Twilight shouts. I walk up to her and whisper, "It pays well."
"Enough! Why have you and your companion come here?" The Princess demands.
"Why, it's always why. Why do we exist?" I begin.
"Why are we here?" Rainbow adds.
"Why do you act like this? Well, we are here because we won our freedom." I explain.
"You won your freedom? Darlings, you two look like you could've just taken it." Rarity states. We pause, a deafening silence fills the throne room.
"No, we couldn't." I say after a few moments.
"Come again?" Rarity says.
"There is no escape from that place, no freedom, no hope, only despair and fear." Rainbow says, "You are an experiment, meant to be tested on, or destroyed. We, along with four others, were are nothing but experiments."
"That's awful." The group gasps.
"We don't need your sympathy!" Rainbow snaps, "As far as I'm concerned, all of you are disposable."
"Princess, what do we do? We can't just put them back in the dungeons." Twilight asks.
"Twi, Ah'm not one ta' judge, but don't y'all think they shouldn't be 'loud ta' roam 'round unchecked." Applejack says. Once she finishes, a group of guards, and a very pissed off looking blue alicorn comes barging into the room.
"FOUL BEASTS, HOW DARE YOU ASSAULT OUR SISTER AND THIS COUNTRIES HEROES!" The blue alicorn yells, flying in front of her sister, along with a small group of guards.
"Twilight, you and your friends need to go and get the elements, hurry." Celestia says, before she teleports the mares out of the throne room. I place a hoof on Rainbow's shoulder and shake my head no.
"Alright, practice time. We haven't had to fight together since we first met our dimension's Fluttershy." I say getting into a fighting stance.
"Agreed, now. Let's do this." Rainbow says entering her own fighting stance.
"Very well, we agree to this frivolity, just know it shall be you who falls." The blue alicorn says.
"Careful Luna, the stallion can change his form, and that Rainbow Dash can dissolve ponies just by touching them." Celestia warns as she stands beside her sister.
"Thank you sister, let us battle!" Luna shouts as she shoots forwards towards Rainbow. I burst forwards to intercept Luna, only to instead slam into her side, sending us both spiraling onto the floor.
"Sorry there Blue, but you're my fight." I say lunging forwards. I extend my left hoof and punch her on, what appears to be, a black colored necklace cracking the moonlight gray gemstone located on the middle. I pull my hoof away, shaking it a couple of times."Gotta say, that hurt more than I thought, good thing I'm adaptable." I say firing a yellow beam, similar to the one Celestia hit me with before bringing me here, from my mouth. Luna quickly dodged and fired a dark blue beam of energy at me. Now, being me, I stood there like a dumbass, and took the attack head on. The beam hit me at the base of the neck, traveled through my sternum, through my heart, and exiting right at my barrel. Luna looks shocked, as do her guards as I fall to the ground.
"Alright White, let's dance." I growl as I start to advance on the Princess. She retaliates by shooting me with a beam of energy from her horn. The beam makes contact, but does nothing except remove a patch of spectra near my cannon. I take her moment of surprise to phase through the ground, laughing as I do so.
"Ha, You can't hope to win." I say just as I fully enter my personal dimension. I place a few notes in some of the old brick hallways, and one right inside of my main chamber. I decide that this place needs some life to it, and I know just who to bring. I laugh demonically, sending a chilling echo through the halls. I exit the dimension, and phase out of the floor right behind Celestia.
"Let's go!" I shout, grabbing Celestia, dragging her down into my personal dimension. She tries to do everything to get out of my grasp, from attempted teleportation, to attacking me directly. To no avail, as I finally drag her into my dimension. I drop her off in the main room, with six different paths to take.
"Alright White, you've got however long you need, all you have to do is escape. Oops!" I say, as I violently break her left hind metatarsus, causing her to scream in pain, "Can't let you expect to escape easily." I chortle in glee.
"I've got to get out of here." I hear the Princess say along with the pounding of her hooves on the stone floor.
"No, that wasn't meant to fell thine adversary, only stun him." Luna says in shock.
"Well, I'd say it stunned me, just not in the way I thought." I say through barely contained anger. I decide to give her a taste of her own medicine, by shooting her with her own attack. I open my mouth and charge up the attack, shooting it at her with the same force she hit me with.
"Princess, lookout!" One of her guards says diving, and pushing, Luna out of the way of the attack. The guard takes the full impact of the beam, which goes straight through his armor and him.
"NO!" Luna cries out, picking the guard up and cradling him.
"It's alright, your highness... I-I was able t-t-to save one of our l-leaders.... P-Princess?" The guard says, his blood pooling around him and Luna, "Promise me... y-you'll... kill... this... b-b-bastard..." The guard says with his dying breath.
"Well Goddamn!" I whistle, "It seems that one was defective." I notice Luna stand up, and start to generate a black aura around herself.
"You. "YOU HEARTLESS MONSTER!" Luna shouts as her aura starts to circle her, lifting her off the ground. "I had hoped to never use her power, but in this case I'll make an exception!" Luna shouts, transforming into a tall black alicorn with a star like mane, and blue serpentine eyes.
"Now, It's your turn to DIE!" Luna yells in a rage as she shoots a powerful beam of energy from her horn. I dodge it this time, not looking to be able to throw around one of this countries leaders.
"Finally, and all it took was that walking can to kick itself to start a real fight.
"That. Guards." Luna says, punching me across the room, "Name. Was." She says flying over to me. I expected to be punched again, only this time she kicked me several feet into the floor. "Morning" She states punching me across the throne room, sending me through several columns and the main entrance, "GLORY!" She yells, appearing in front of me outside the throne room. She proceeded to pick me up, and throw me upwards, through the ceiling of the castle. I kept flying upwards, through a few floors and eventually the roof. I open my wings and start to hover, when I saw Luna, no, that thing flying up towards me.
"Enough!" I yell as I intercept that thing. I grab it and throw her downwards into the floor, making a small crater upon impact with the ground.
"Come on Tia, You're almost done with the Pillars of Time." I say bored, Celestia was fun at first, but then she just started over analyzing every room in this place. I've had to resort to basic jump scares.
"Well, I'd be don faster if you hadn't broken one of my legs!" Celestia retorts.
Did I break your wings? No, now fly already." I demand in irritation, Celestia smiles and flies to the end of the pillars. "Good, now drop down, you won, so I'll heal you and return you to the throne room." I state in defeat.
"Is something wrong?" Celestia asks.
"Well, its just that Phoenix gets to be with other ponies, while I can't get within four inches of them." I say with heavy anger in my voice, "I wouldn't mind as much, if ponies didn't try to run away every time I get near them." I say in defeat.
"Miss Dash, I promise that you will be accepted by my little ponies, along with your companion." Celestia says endearingly. I smile and nod towards the hole at the base of the platform. Celestia enters the hole and I do as well, taking both of back to the throne room, which is completely destroyed.
"Come on beast, I thought you were supposed to be ever adapting? How come I'm using you as a mop?!" That thing taunts.
"Because, I don't want to hurt you." I growl in anger.
"Too bad, because I want to hurt you!" She shouts, before rushing forwards and smashing me into the ground. In my brief moment of air time, I noticed Rainbow and Celestia standing there awkwardly in shock.
"Oh, look, your sister's here." I say smugly. She looks over and gasps, ,quickly transforming back into her normal self.
"Sister, we didn't mean to use the Nightmare's power, but thine opponent killed Morning Glory without remorse. We took appropriate measures." Luna says defending herself.
"Whatever the reason, I'm just glad you're alright." Celestia says comforting Luna. At that moment the girls return to the throne room wearing necklaces and a crown, all staring daggers at myself and Rainbow.
"Princesses get down, we are going to use the Elements of Harmony on them!" Twilight shouts.
"No! Don't do that!" I shout.
"Why?" The six mares ask.
"Because, I'm an ever adapting force, watch." I say as I connect Celestia and Luna's horns together, and hit the bases of each, causing them to fire a large connecting beam. I jump into the beam, and only my head is spared the agony of disintegration. The girls and Princesses all gasp in shock, each wondering what to do, only for my body to start reforming. Starting with my cervical vertebrae, then my thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. Next, came my sacrum and caudal vertebrae, then my scapula, rib cage, humerus, and sternum. Then, my radius, carpus, cannon bone, and phalanges formed, along with my femur, tibia, patella, metatarsus, knees, and rear phalanges.
My sinews and muscles started to grow back next, for which, I stand upright, startling the group gathered around me.
"How are you able to survive that?! Let alone regenerate at all!" Twilight shouts in surprise, "Also, how did you do that?!"
"W-Well." I say with some effort, "I said I can adapt easily to any situation, so it was a demonstration of my regenerative capabilities." At this point my muscles started to regenerate, allowing me to stand.
"But, you should be dead! But you're not!" Twilight exclaims.
"Yes, we get it, but I've been recorded functioning with 99% of my body destroyed. It also doesn't help that I'm normally locked in a steel room, constantly doused in hydrochloric acid." I state looking directly at Twilight. The girls all look at me in shock and sorrow.
"Now why would somepony do that? Ah reckon they might be going outta their way to harm you and ya friend." Applejack states, the girls all nod in agreement. Dashie starts laughing at their ignorance.
"Ha! If you think the foundation was cruel, then you'd really hate what is located there." She states, "For example, there's an crystal there."
"Crystal?!" Rarity interrupts.
"Yes, a crystal. Now, this crystal, when physical contact is made. The crystal will cause agonizing pain, then, when you're pleading for the pain to stop, several crystal shards will burst through your skin in controlled areas. Next, several large shards will explode out from inside of you, killing you instantly." Rainbow lectures as she recalls what she learned about the crystal. The ponies all pale during the description. I notice that Fluttershy looks like she's ready to faint at any moment.
"Dashie, stop talking about the foundation, we wouldn't want to give any of these fine ponies nightmares, now would we?" I leer. Dashie nods reluctantly and walks over to where I am, leaving behind her signature spectra trail.
"Well, as much as I like talking about myself, I'm sure the Princesses here would like to talk to us about our current situation. In private, preferably." I add at the end, trying to clue Celestia in on the hint I'm dropping. Thankfully, she does.
"Right, Twilight, I want you to take your friends to your old bed chamber, please, make them feel comfortable after this... Ordeal." Celestia hesitates at the end of her sentence, trying to find the right words to say.
"Oh! Kind of like a sleep over!" Twilight says with excitement, "Come on girls, follow me!" She exclaims, running ahead to the throne room doors, while the other mares run after her, smiling like nothing ever happened. As soon as they exit the throne room, I swear there's music playing in the background.
"Do any of you hear that annoying peppy music?" Dashie asks with clear anger in the tone of her voice.
"Yes we do, but after a thousand years of random songs and strange background noises, you tend to just ignore them." Celestia states, "Now then, down to business." Celestia says in a low serious tone, "Just what are you two?"
Celestia waited until the doors were closed before asking us her question about us, and I don't know how to respond without revealing classified information.
"Well? Our sister asked you a question." Luna impatiently states, drawing a quick glare from Rainbow.
"If you must know, please more specific. Asking us how we are, or what we are is akin to asking somepony why the sky's blue. So, I'll ask you again, please be more specific." I state calmly. All around us the throne room begins to repair itself, as if it's being controlled.
"Oh, there's the daily repair." Celestia says calmly.
"Daily repair? What is that?" I ask confused.
"Well, if I tell you two, will you answer our questions?" Celestia says, our response is a nod. "Excellent, the daily repair is a thing that, for whatever reason, happens at the end of every day and fully repairs any and all damage done to the ponies and buildings of Equestria, only a select few ponies ever notice it. Now, your turn, what are you? Surely you aren't a natural hybrid, just like your friend isn't naturally like that." Celestia asks.
"Well, I am a natural hybrid the phoenix bit was true, but no, I wasn't always this... grotesque." I say giving myself a once over.
"Right, I'm a natural Pegasus, but I wasn't always a mutated freak." Rainbow spits venomously. She looks over to me, as if she expects me to explain what we meant.
"Ugh... Fine, since my partner here picks now to be quiet. I'm Blazing Skies, 'Phoenix', or SCP-682-R. The last two are my preferred names. My abilities consist of rapid regeneration, transformation, heightened adaptability, and increased durability. The only other thing I can think of that you'd need to know about me is that, when I'm calm, I seem to project a calming aura that I can use to calm down others around me. Anything else you want to know?" I ask in an annoyed manner.
"Yes. What are your intentions now that you're here?" Celestia asks.
"Simply put, we had hoped to fuck off into obscurity and live out our lives in peace, even if you make us your prisoners. Damn sight better than begin used as a research sample, or being constantly submerged in hydrosulfuric acid all the time. Or was it hydrochloric?" I say nonchalantly, not paying any mind to the concerned looks from the Princesses.
"Who submerged you in acid?" Celestia asks appalled.
"The SCP Foundation." Rainbow answers blankly.
"What is this SCP foundation? What hast thou done to warrant such a harsh punishment?" Luna asks.
"Well, the goal of the foundation is to Secure Contain and Protect the citizens of Terra from threats such as Rainbow and myself. We're high priority, being Keter Class objects and all." Rainbow explains, I shoot her a look that tells her not to reveal something she'd wind up regretting.
"Could you wait one moment? Normally my student does this, but she's not here at the moment to take notes." Celestia says, as begins materializing a quill and notepad from thin air. Rainbow and I enter a defensive stance and slightly growl.
"Now then, could you please tell what Keter means? Is that what makes you two so special?" She asks, levitating the quill and notepad in front of her, as Luna materializes a chair for herself to sit in.
"Classified to personnel with Class 2 or lower clearance. Luckily for you two, you'd both have Class 5 clearance." I say angrily.
"Class 5 clearance?" Celestia asks.
"Correct, reserved to VIPs, the O5-S command, researchers, and the Cloud Nine containment team. You two are qualified VIPs." I explain, Celestia writes all of this down on her notepad.
"Back to my earlier question, what makes you two 'High priority' as you called it." Celestia asks.
"We're Keter Class objects, or deemed worthy of immediate termination. Keter Class objects are extremely unstable, highly violent, and are capable of causing XK, or ZK scenarios. So, in order to prevent this, all Keter Class objects are to be destroyed upon discovery, or after enough information has been obtained from the subject. Then they are terminated." I say harshly.
"How did you two wind up in our world?" Luna asks.
"Simply, we ran. Through a dimensional mirror, but that's a technicality. That's it then, we ran here, to our freedom." Rainbow answers.
"Did you leave behind anything important, or any pony important?" Celestia asks.
"I left two ponies close to me, Dr. Bright, and Chrysalis." I say, only to be lifted into the air by a golden aura.
"You know of Queen Chrysalis!?" Celestia gasps in shock, "Tell me if she has caused you any harm!" She says rotating and looking all over me.
"She's back in our dimension, nicest pony I've ever met. Shame though, she gave up her freedom just for me, wish I could do the same."
"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't think your dimension would have another Chrysalis. Please forgive me." She says sheepishly as she puts me back on the ground.
"I grow tired of these silly questions! Thou mentioned increased strength, is this not correct?" Luna says suddenly.
"Yes, why do y-" "We challenge thee to a duel! Tia and myself against you and your cohort." Luna bellows.
"As you wish." I say bowing.
"This is going to be easy." Rainbow says, flying above me.
"To make it fair for all of us, no magic, and no powers." Celestia says, we all nod in agreement.
"On our count. One... Two... THREE!" Luna shouts, just before she lunges forwards.
Meanwhile with Twilight and the Elements
"If the Princess trust them, then they can't be that dangerous." Twilight says in defense.
"Ah don' know Twi, something 'bout those two, it just ain't sittin' right. Ah know somethin bad's gonna happen real soon." No sooner had Applejack said that, was Princess Celestia sent crashing through the walls of the room. When the girls all looked through the hole they could see that Princess Celestia was still flying through the walls of the castle.
Back to the story
"And stay out... Faggot!" I shout as Celestia is sent flying through the castle walls. I was about to celebrate my victory, only to have the same thing happen to me, but done by Luna.
"Thine feeling is mutual!" She shouts as I get sent through the other side of the castle. Shortly after, Rainbow approaches her shakily and throws her to the ground.
"Now... We're even." She says right before she collapses from fatigue. Alright, so Celestia defeated Rainbow, I defeated Celestia, Luna defeated me, and Rainbow defeated Luna. So.. who won? I open my wings, slowing myself down, and start flying back to the castle. I take my time just absorbing the beauty of the vast city below me. From it's elaborate sweeping designs, every little detail is magnificent and articulately executed. If I wasn't supposed to be with the princesses, I'd be out exploring the city. Shaking my head quickly, I continue flying back to the castle, after a few minutes I land back in the throne room next to a healed Rainbow and Luna.
"Glad to see you're back, what kept you?" Rainbow asks jokingly.
"The beauty of this city." I respond. I look around and see that the throne room is beginning to repair itself, and so are the holes Celestia and I made when we were thrown through them.
"Well then, do we wait for your stooges, or do we leave and never show our faces around here ever again." I say flatly.
"I say we wait for Twilight and her friends. I can then tell you all my decision then." Celestia says calmly. I simply nod and sit down by a large column near a decorative throne laced with gold and silver. The design clearly representing the warming light of the sun. Just as I get comfortable a loud pop is heard throughout the throne room, followed by a very furious looking purple unicorn.
"You!" The unicorn growls at Rainbow and I, "You've got some nerve attacking the Princess like that." She states coldly. I stand up and walk over to the unicorn and sit down in front of her.
"We seem to have gotten off on the wrong hoof, so allow me. My name is Phoenix, and my friend over there," I say point a hoof at Rainbow Dash, "is Rainbow Dash. We are both, as you know, from a different dimension. If you'd allow us to, my friend and I would like to live peacefully amongst you and your friends." I say adding a bow in at the right place to add emphasis and pass a message of sincerity. Twilight pauses for a moment to ponder my request, hopefully she accepts.
"We'll let you go free, under one condition." Twilight says firmly. I hope this is a small condition and not something stupid like we can't use our abilities at all.
"What is this one condition?" Rainbow asks quizzically.
"It's up to the Princesses if this is acceptable, but, if you two return with us to Ponyville, and apologize to the town for lying about what you are, and you also have to remain with one of us while you're staying here." Twilight says stoically.
"Is that all? I speak for both of us when I say those are acceptable conditions." I say formally, flattening my tone of voice to sound very grateful.
"Correct, those are our terms and conditions, now then, where are each of you staying? Together or separate, along with which of us you're staying at?" Twilight says using what I assume to be her normal tone of voice.
"Dash?" I ask, "Can I trust you to live on your own without injuring your caretaker?"
"Fine, but I refuse to stay with Pinkie Pie, Applejack, or Twilight." She says defiantly. Good enough, can't really force her.
"Wait one varmint pickin' minute. How'd y'all know our names?" Applejack asks forcefully.
"There are versions of each of you in our universe. You are a leading researcher at the foundation, Pinkie Pie is a Euclid class object that, while in direct line of sight, is a statue." I start explaining.
"What happens if'n somepony happens ta look away from her?" Applejack asks
"The Pinkie from our universe is hostile, you look away from her and she attacks. More often than not, she strangles her targets to death, if they're lucky, if they aren't lucky she snaps their neck killing them instantly. All this because those ponies had to blink." I finish looking around the room. "I can finish explaining here, or back in Ponyville, your choice." I say formally, as I look at Princess Celestia.
"Please finish explaining here, no sense in involving the nice ponies of Ponyville with all of this." Celestia says kindly.
"As you wish, where was I? Ah yes, moving down the line Rarity is up next. You're an Euclid class object like Pinkie Pie is, but you don't intentionally kill others. Your touch causes a zombie like trance when other ponies are exposed to your fur, however, as innocent as that sounds, even though the zombie can be cured, they are considered Keter class objects and are terminated upon sight. Shame, all the alternate you wanted to do was make dresses, now anything living she, or her work, touches is destroyed." I give a slight sigh realizing who's next.
"I didn't want to do this, but Fluttershy, your alternate self died as a filly." I pause as everypony else gasps in shock "Let me finish. You may not live, but Chrysalis does, when she was young, one of your feathers blew across Terra and near her hive, being the curious filly she was, Chrysalis... yes?" I ask looking at Twilight.
"One thing, why are you putting emphasis on this ponies name?" Twilight asks inquisitively.
"Well, if I didn't you'd mistake for this dimensions version of her, Chrysalis." I say making the 'a' short insteads of a long 'a', "I've seen how you ponies react to changelings. Anyways, back on subject, Fluttershy, your feather had enough love and friendship in it that as soon as Chrysalis tried to eat it, it attached itself to her. Now she's still a changeling, but she's form-locked as you. After about an hour or so, she turns back into you. There, that's uplifting, no death, no destruction, only salvation. Chrysalis is the whole reason Dash and I are even here, if she hadn't stayed behind, we'd be sitting on lab benches for the rest of our lives. Rainbow, you get to explain the last three." I tell her as I sit back amongst the gathered mares.
"*Ahem* Twilight, you are an insane doctor who, if she didn't have access to 996, I'd like to violently kill. The alternate you used me as a research sample for five years. Five years, ever since our class went on that field trip to the mall when we were kids. I'm done with this one." Dash spits out angrily.
"H-how old were you?" Fluttershy asks barely audible.
"I was six, and Phoenix was seven. Next, we have Celestia, She's still the princess of our world. Only thing that separates you two is that you know about the foundation, and our's doesn't." Rainbow growls, "Lastly, we have the deceased Professor L. Luna was allegedly killed during a containment breach one year ago, Sparkle betrayed her and fled from 096, or 'the shy guy' as we call it. You'll be fine so long as you don't look at it's face directly. I'll pause now to answer questions." Dash adds flatly.
"Are there safe was to view it's face?" Twilight asks curiously.
"There is one way, artist renderings. Viewing it through photographs, video feeds, and other media devices will cause 096 to go completely berserk and kill what ever viewed its' face. Bunkers can't stop it, it'll run across the entire planet until it has killed the one who viewed it's face. For reference, 096 is considered a Safe/Keter object. It's safe, until you view its' face." Rainbow says adding in a dramatic fade at the end of her speech.
"Yes, very good Dash. Now, before we go to ponyville, I feel the need to inform you that I'll be staying with the scholar." I say walking over to Twilight.
"And I'll be crashing with my dimensional opposite." Dash says flying over to Rainbow. "Besides, I've always wondered what happens when a cloud touches the spectra I constantly secrete. Hopefully it holds up better than these floors do." She says standing. "Well, lead the way other me." She says gesturing towards the door to the throne room. Eventually her counterpart got the hint and started to fly over there and lead Dash out of the throne room.
"Now that they're taken care of... how much is it to replace the flooring? I only ask because the corroded floor is unusable." I say inspecting the damage, thankfully it's minimal.
"How is the floor unusable? It's made of pure marble, and no offence Princess, but how in Celestia's name does a floor suddenly become useless?!" Twilight yells. 'Le gasp! Demonstration time!' Not now me.
"Why don't I show you, with a demonstration." I whisper to Twilight, "You there! Stupid looking guard!" I shout to one of the nearby guards, "I want you to stand in the middle of the decayed marble. Don't question your Princess. I'm but a messenger." I lie to the guard, thank the deities above that I have a good poker face. The guard complies and walks over to the worn down spot in the marble. I decide to stop him before he walks onto the marble and ruins my chance for some fun.
"Alright, now before you step on the worn down marble, I want you to stomp your front hooves as loudly as possible." The guard looks confused by my request, by agrees anyways. He rears up onto his hind legs and brings his hooves down onto the floor with enough force to cause a resounding echo through the room. The echo lasts for a few seconds.
"Very good Sir, now do the same thing to the worn down section, but I only want you to use a quarter of the force you used, also, only use one hoof. I don't care which one." I say waving off the last part. Without hesitation, the guard raises his right hoof into the air and brings it down onto the marble. This time, the marble doesn't resist and instead, gives way as soon as his hoof connects. Everypony gathered gawks in awe at the sight before them. I choose now to ruin the silence.
"Don't look so impressed, just be luck this floor isn't on another level, otherwise he's of just fallen through the floor. Oh, before I leave for Ponyville, are there anymore questions you want publicly answered before Twilight - I might be wrong here, and I'm not - berates me with question after question in her house." I say to the group.
"I have one." Rarity asks.I nod to her to continue, "Well darling, I hope I don't overstep my bounds here, but what happens if you go berserk like you did with that poor Ursa?" She asks. I take a moment to ponder what she said.
"Just try and calm me down. If you use those Elements of Harmony you mentioned earlier, and it doesn't work on me, then you can't use them on me ever again. Seeing as I'll just build up an immunity to them, and Rainbow would just retreat to her personal dimension. Now then, lets head back to town." I say, as I start to flap my wings, little embers fly off of the tips with each flap, and before I take to the air, I suddenly think of something.
"How are we going to explain this to the townsponies?" I ask, finally taking to the air. I start hovering in place, a few feet off the ground, my wings still releasing golden embers with each upwards motion. The silence tells me everything I need to know. Readying myself to leave, I'm suddenly engulfed in a golden aura, and so are the others. The next thing I know, there's a flash, and when I open my eyes, we're all standing inside of a large building full of books. I quickly close my wings, and fall to the ground.
"Phoenix, other Rainbow Dash, I formally welcome you to Ponyville, as well as my house, the Golden Oak Library." Twilight says, waving a hoof around the room as if she's giving a tour. For once in my life, things might start to finally work to our advantage.
Author's Note
Here it is, the long-awaited* update to SCP-[RETRACTED]. I hope you enjoy it, I even rushed so I could finish this chapter before 2017, just so I won't have to mark this as 'On hiatus'. Now then, what do think will happen in the next chapter? I will tell you one thing, Phoenix and Dashie (really need a better way to differentiate the SCP Dash, and the cannon Dash) aren't so easily forgiven.
Also note that even though it was called Origins of Evil, I never actually explained it from beginning. No, that comes for a later chapter.
