The ponies had many questions, but Celestia held up a hoof to stall their questions. “Please, allow Doctor Bright and Agent Donovan to explain.” The image changed to show Agent Donovan and Doctor Bright sitting outside, drinking tea as they talked.

“So.....” Master Xing started, surprising everyone when he spoke Equestrian. “Why have you come?”

Doctor Bright looked at him with surprise. “You...you didn't receive a letter from your government?”

Master Xing took a sip of his tea before answering. “Yes, but it stated that I am to expect some group of people, nothing more.”

“I see....Well, like my esteem Agent stated, we are with the Foundation.” Doctor Bright brightly said.

“And what is this....Foundation?” Master Xing said.

“A secret society that protects the world from the supernatural, extra-terrestrial, extra-dimensional, and extra-universal threats.” Agent Donovan stated. “Before science became a mainstream idea, we found ourselves following the whims of devices, creatures, and entities calling themselves gods and lording over us.”

“Yes, it is our job is to insure these objects and subjects never harm Humanity or Earth herself. We perform experiments to understand it, and destroy it if it is threat to all of Earth. We walk the gray path, Master Xing.” Doctor Bright said, looking at him over his glasses. “Our experiments has killed hundreds of people, but these people die in the name of our protection. And we haven't walked away unscathed either, dozens of scientist, researchers, and Agents have died when the SCPs escape or perform something never seen before.”

“I....see.” Master Xing mused upon. “And what of these....beings that turn themselves in willingly?”

“We try to make them comfortable.” Doctor Bright explained. “Some of them willingly turn themselves in to protect people they care about. Others turn themselves in hope to find a cure for their problem. All of them understand that we have to perform experiments on them to figure out how to help them, some are more painful than others, but they knew what they are getting into.”

“Some objects are beneficial, even sentient to a degree, and we have them help us in any way they can. Others are too dangerous and under lock and key, and even then that is not enough. One object is so dangerous that if it was set loose during an end of world event......” Donovan started.

“It will only make it worse.” Doctor Bright shook his head. “Let's not even talk about the stupid cake issue.”

Master Xing crossed his arms and thought hard on issue before him. “You wish to go to the Heaven Temple.” Master Xing stated

“Yes, to see the fabled Rope to Heaven.” Doctor Bright said. “We have seen some sort of object hovering above the Earth.”

“Yes, it is a place of enlightenment and understanding.” Master Xing said. “You have nothing to fear from it.”

“That may be so, but it is better to be safe than sorry. We have no desire to keep the monks away from performing the ritual, only to study it. Nothing more.” Agent Donovan calmly told him.

Master Xing nodded his head. “Okay I will-” The sound of children laughing and shouting interrupted him. They watched as several children ran around the corner, playing a game of tag. The eldest, Li, turn around and shouted behind him.

“来吧,Celestia!你太慢了!(Come, Celestia! You are too slow!)” Li laughed, unaware of the action he was about to make.

“Celestia? That sounds like.....Latin.” Doctor Bright trailed off when he saw a bright white equine with wings quickly running behind them.

“慢!?我会放火烧了你的裤子!(SLOW!? I WILL SET YOUR PANTS ON FIRE!)” Young Celestia exclaimed.

“小太阳!(Little Sun!)” Master Xing barked, stopping her abruptly, but also ended up causing her into eating dirt as she tripped in the process.

“爸爸(Papa!)” Young Celestia cried out, flapping her wings and hugged him, before looking at the two strange looking men standing next her father. “您好!(Hello!)” she waved towards them.


Celestia shook her head in amusement, “I was such a ditz when I was younger.” Her horn glowed and the scene changed once again. All the ponies jump back in surprise when a large eye appeared before them before the eye pulled away to reveal Doctor Bright holding a magnifying glass. The scene expanded to show Celestia sitting on a table with Master Xing and Agent Donovan in the room as well.

“Fascinating.” he said, “Such an odd eye color. May I?” he pointed towards her wings. Celestia extended her wings and he closely began to examine them. Young Celestia began to giggle, turning to Master Xing.

“这发痒。爸爸,这是你的朋友吗?(This tickles. Papa, are these your friends?)” Young Celestia laughed.

“不(No.)” Master Xing stated, his eyes trained on Doctor Bright, who shivered under his stare.

“Simply fascinating! An Equus specimen, a sentient one at that, with abilities of flight, speech, and unique telekinetic and pyrokinetic powers!” Doctor Bright said happily. “Maybe she is the same species as SCP-042, in fact, we can use her help in understanding him!”

“Doc, it doesn't take a genius to understand that he wants freedom.” Donovan said, grumbling somewhat. “That horse is a danger, the fact remains that thing can affect the minds of others into helping it. I still say we should put it out of its misery. Safe level my ass.”

Doctor Bright turn to Master Xing, his face filled with child-like glee. “We must-”

“No.” Master Xing cut him off, his eyes narrowed dangerously. “You are not taking her away from here.”

“But...But you don't understand. You said that she can 'talk' to animals, yes? We can use her help! We can help her in controlling her own ability and in understanding them!” Doctor Bright protested.

“And she is fine where she is.” Master Xing retorted. “She has all that she needs right here.”

“We can protect her.” Donovan stated, causing both men to look to him. Doctor Bright eyes widened, almost if realizing what Donovan said.

“Oh dear.” Doctor Bright said quietly.

“What?” Master Xing growled, causing young Celestia's ears to flatten against her skull.

“Its just that we are not the only group out there looking for these items or people like little Celestia.” Doctor Bright muttered, rubbing Young Celestia's head affectionately.

“Who?” Master Xing asked.

“There are 4 you have to look out for: The Chaos Insurgency; The Serpent Hand; Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd.; and the Global Occult Coalition.” Doctor Bright stated. “They are the most dangerous of all the groups.”

“It's the last two that you really have to worry about.” Donovan stated. “The former would likely sell the pipsqueak for the highest bidder, while the latter would simply kill her.” Master Xing eyes narrowed in anger.

“And you brought them right to our doorstep!” he growled at them.

“We came because of Rope to Heaven.” Doctor Bright explained. “If we hadn't, they would of came here themselves, and believe me when I say that we are the nicest group out there. They would of captured or killed her on the spot.”

Master Xing cursed, began to pace around them room. Donovan coughed and took a step forward. “Listen, I understand that you want to protect her, that she maybe some sort of all divine creature, but-”

“That is not why.” Master Xing snapped. “I promised her mother I would protect her.”

“Her...Her mother?” Doctor Bright asked in confusion. Master Xing sighed and began to explain what happened several years ago. Doctor Bright looked ecstatic after hearing the tale.

“Amazing. A trans-Dimensional being.” Doctor Bright ruffled Young Celestia's hair, causing her to giggle. “Sadly. She didn't exactly place her daughter in a better environment.”

“Can we station some people here?” Donovan looked to Doctor Bright. “There are some SCPs out there that we can't take and contain, but we can keep people out.”

“Hmm.....Yes, yes. That could work.” Doctor Bright muttered before turning Master Xing. “Would you accept that?”

“What would this entitle to you and your people?” Master asked suspiciously.

“Well, for starters, a small team of scientists and researchers would be on hand at all times. We can also provide health care for Celestia. Hell, even the entire temple if you want. We would run some simple tests, nothing painful!” He waved his hands at Master Xing, seeing him narrow his eyes at the word 'tests' “Just to see what she can do. Maybe even help her learn some hidden ability that she has.”

“We would have a small security force on hand as well.” Donovan stated. “In case of emergency.”

Master Xing closed his eyes and thought hard. When he re-opened them, he saw Celestia and Donovan staring a staring contest, her tongue sticking out of the side of her mouth in concentration. She blinked and began to pout while Donovan gave a small chuckle.

“Okay.” Master Xing agreed after some time.

“Really?” Doctor Bright said happily. “Um....can I ask why?”

“Celestia's mother was very powerful being. If she is to grow up to be anything like her mother, she will hold a lot of power as well....” Master Xing trailed off, sighing before continuing on. “And you are right. I don't have the slightest idea on how to train her, your people have a better chance than me.”

Doctor Bright chuckled, shaking his head. “I'm afraid we are both in the dark on this one. We've never met a creature like little Celestia here.”

“True, but you have worked with the unknown much longer than I have.”

Doctor Bright conceded to this fact stated by Master Xing.

“Excellent!” Doctor Bright stood up and clapped his hands. “I will talk to the O5 Admins and have them send a group here. At the moment though, we still have a rope to discover.”

“I will go ahead and stay here Doc.” Donovan said. “You will need someone to keep an eye on the place until you finish up with Rope deal. Besides, I have the desire to know the little tyke here.”

Doctor Bright smiled before nodding his head towards him. Donovan leaned close to Master Xing as Doctor Bright walked away. “Between you and me, this is the first time I've seen Doctor Bright here act normally for a change.”

“What do you mean?” Master Xing questioned.

“Let's just say that he's a bit....eccentric.” Agent Donovan gave a small grin. “Trust me, you'll find out later on.”


The memory faded away and the library returned to view. Pinkie hopped up and began to speak.

“What happened next? Did you get to see any nifty things? Oh! How about more of those agents!” She began to perform marital arts. “Are they like super secret agents, or ninjas!”

Celestia smiled at Pinkie, shaking her head somewhat. “They were not like secret agents or ninjas, Pinkie.”

“Aww....” Pinkie sighed sadly. Celestia tapped her hoof against her chin somewhat.

“Though I suppose Agent Donovan could be considered a Super Agent.” Celestia said after a moment.

“Why is that, Princess?” Applejack asked, looking somewhat confused.

“He is the only person I know that was able to go hoof to hoof against Master Xing.” The memory played itself, showing Agent Donovan and Master Xing going at it. The ponies were astounded to see how fast they were moving. Kicking, punching, throwing, and all kinds of attacks were thrown at one another.

“That is not normal at all.” Spike said, staring at the two combatants.

“No, it is not. Not even by human standards.” Celestia agreed. “They were a cut above the rest.”

“So how come neither of them were considered by this Foundation as SCP whatever?” Applejack stared at the two as they panted, both smiling at one another.

“Master Xing had trained almost his entire life into the ways of the Shaolin style. There were few that were like him, just not his level. It was actually considered to be a lost skill that human used to have.” Celestia explained. “Agent Donovan, on the other hoof, showed signs of excellent hand eye coordination and excellent physical conditioning. He spent many years training himself, but it was his skills as a sharpshooter that put him above the rest.”

The image shifted to Donovan holding up a large hand gun, while taking aim at a target several thousand yards away, firing rapidly. A person came back holding onto a cut out that showed several holes in the chest and head area.

“His eyes see the world differently than us. Anything in his view, he can see and his body will react to it....at least that is how he explained it to me.” Celestia said quietly.

“So....he's was some kind of mutant?” Rainbow asked.

Twilight gasped and stared at Rainbow.

“What?”

“Rainbow!” Twilight nearly shouted. “You don't just call people mutants!” Celestia laughed and waved it off.

“It's fine, Twilight. Donovan considered himself one and was just waiting for his eyes to change color so the Foundation could give him room and board.” Celestia sighed, watching the scene slowly change. “He stayed with us, for about 3 years he stayed at the temple.”

The scene changed to show young Celestia walking next to the larger human, talking while his hands moved animatedly with excitement. Young Celestia stared in awe as she listened to his tale. “He told me tales of SCPs that helped the Foundation and tales of battles.”

The scene changed to show young Celestia covered in a multitudes of wires while various machines scattered about the room. Master Xing and Donovan were in the room as well, keeping a close eye on the Foundation members and young Celestia.

“He protected me from the more dubious experiments.” The scene changed to show young Celestia staring at the needle in the researcher’s hand with apprehension, before a hand reached out and grabbed the offending arm and twisted it, forcing him to drop the needle. Agent Donovan pulled back and punched the man out, while many scientists looked up from their notes in surprise.

“I saw him as family....” Young Celestia rode on his shoulders, while many children ran away in fear. Hovering above them was a large set of water balloons, and a cackle of laughter sent them flying towards the 'enemy'.

“He was also my first crush.” Celestia stated with a small blush on face. Young Celestia rest her head on to Donovan's own, nuzzling him lightly, while Donovan simply stared at the setting sun.

“It all came crashing down when the Coalition attack the temple.” Celestia said quietly. The scene became dark. Young Celestia crawled around in the darkness, whimpering in fear. A trap door open and a head stuck through.

“Celestia!” Li whispered out loud.

“Li....” Young Celestia whimpered. “谁是这些人......他们为什么要伤害我们?(Who are these people....why do they want to hurt us?)”

“我不知道。邢师傅告诉我找到你,保护你。(I don't know. Master Xing told me to find you and protect you.)” Li stated. “来。陈和梅是与我同在。(Come. Chan and Mei are with me.)”

“关于老大哥多诺万是什么呢?(What about Big Brother Donovan?)” Celestia crawled out of her hiding spot.

“袭击者战斗。(Fighting the attackers off.)” Mei said quietly. “他和邢师傅正在尽力保护寺庙,但他们告诉我们要离开这里,让你安全。(He and Master Xing are trying their best to protect the temple, but they told us to get out of here and to get you to safety.)” Li hefted a spear and began to lead them out.


The image began to waver and darken before halting all together.

“Princess? Is something wrong?” Rarity asked in confusion.

“This was a dark time, my little ponies.” Celestia answered softly. “The memories are old, but the wounds are still fresh in my mind. What you are about to see is the first of many deaths of innocent people. If you have no desire to see this, then please let me know.”

“Spike.” Twilight turned to the baby dragon. “Go to Applejack's farm and stay with Applebloom.” Spike looked torn between revolting against the order and heeding it.

“Go, Spike.” Celestia ordered. “I do not want you to see this, especially at your age.”

“Fine...” Spike grumbled, walking out front door. Celestia turned to the others, waiting for their answer. Applejack spoke for everyone when no one else moved.

“I think we're staying right here Princess.” Applejack stated. Celestia's eyes dimmed, frighten of what she was about to show her peaceful subjects, but at the same time admired them for their resolve.

“You have been warned.”

The memory played and there was a gasp of disgust when it showed the once beautiful courtyard filled with dead bodies. Monks of various ages were scattered across the courtyard, torn to shreds from the attacking enemy. It wasn't completely one-sided however, a few remains of black armor figures lay among the dead as well.

Pinkie's hair immediately deflated upon the scene, while the rest of the group gagged at the slaughter. They watched as Li, Mei, and Chan led young Celestia to safety. The air around the temple was hot, fires began to burn several buildings down, but still they pushed on.

“There they are!”

“Open Fire!”

The world around the small group exploded. Chan's head exploded into paste, his body collapsing onto the ground next to young Celestia, who only scream in fear.

“快跑! (Run!)” Li yelled at the others.

With a cry of pain, Mei collapsed onto the ground, clutching her leg. “Mei!” Young Celestia turned back to get her, but Mei waved her off as she crawled behind cover.

“去!我只会减慢你的速度!(Go! I will only slow you down!)” Mei pulled out a dagger and held it close to her chest. Li reached over and wrapped Celestia by her stomach and fled as quickly as he could. Young Celestia watched as three armored figures surrounded Mei, who quickly plunged the dagger into the leg of one of them. She died in a hail gunfire at close range, tearing her to pieces.

“无!(NO!)” Young Celestia cried out. Li ran as quickly as he could, turning a corner and barely stopping in time before the hall collapsed before him, fires burning hotly all around them.

Celestia took a deep breath, watching as her ponies witness the slaughter before them. They were disgusted and horrified by it, unable to comprehend why this was happening.

“Why....?” Twilight whispered.

“Cause I am not human, nor was I part of the natural world.” Celestia answered quietly. The memory played on, showing the two friends trapped in the burning hallway. A wall broke down, revealing Pielong, who stared in wide eye amazement at the two.

“Li, Celestia. 你们俩都还活着。(You two are still alive.)” Pielong exhaled.

“很快,里面(Quickly, inside.)” Li ordered, but Pielong stopped them.

“不!这是约到(No! It is about to-)” Pielong was cut off when the room inside collapsed, screams were heard inside before they were crushed. “崩溃(Collapse.)”

“我们被困了!(We're trapped!)” Celestia cried.

All around young Celestia, the fires rage in anger, licking at her coat and her friends' skin. He stood in front of her, protecting her from the men in black armor.

“Li....” Celestia whispered, her small form cradled by Pielong.

“举行,Celestia。兴大师将让我们出去。直到这时,我会保护你!(Hold on, Celestia. Master Xing will get us out. Until then, I will protect you!)” Li whispered with a smile, which was cut off from a loud noise nearby, along with a scream of pain. Suddenly, a black armored figure walked around the corner, a weapon in its hand. Li rushed forward with a spear, slamming the weapon into the armored figure's throat. Li attempted to jump back, but was grabbed by the back of the head from another figure that had been hidden behind the wall. Li tried to scream, to tell them to run, but was cut off with a violent snap of the neck.

“LI!”

Pielong threw young Celestia to the side before the armor being turn the corner and open fired, killing Pielong instantly. The armor figure turn his weapon to young Celestia before he gave a shout of surprise and back handed a figure behind him.

Doctor Bright smiled grimly as he picked himself up, clutching his left arm, watching as the armored figured pulled out a needle before raising his weapon to kill him, only to give a small cry of surprise when his arm fell limp, dropping his weapon to the ground. He quickly walked around the armored man, who fell to his knees and collapsed onto his back, picking up Young Celestia.

“What you have running through your veins is a fast acting neurotoxin known as Tetrodotoxin, slightly modify of course.” Doctor Bright calmly stated, leaning down and glaring at the masked man. “You are having trouble breathing, right? Good. That is exactly how it's supposed to work. We were going to test an extremely small dose on Celestia here, to see if she is immune to this. But, unlike you, we were going to keep her alive in the case that she wasn't. You see, we of the Foundation actually like Celestia here. And Master Xing would have our heads if we were to let her die on our watch.”

The armored man fell still, but his eyes were filled with panic, desperately trying to breathe, but was unable to. “I hope you and your group burn in the depths of hell for this transgression. I will see you there, since my own hands are far from clean. Goodbye.”


All the ponies shivered in fear, even Discord, who was fond of Doctor Bright, shivered at the cold voice.

“What....what is Tetrodotoxin?” Twilight asked, but Celestia only gave a simple answer.

“A poison.” Celestia said. “A very deadly poison.”


“Come child.” Doctor Bright gritted his teeth as he picked up Young Celestia with his good arm. Young Celestia looked down at his bloody left arm.

“Hurt.” She murmured quietly.

“Oh, this. Its fine, I will be alright.” Doctor Bright said with force cheer. “Tis but a flesh wound. Come, lets find Agent Donovan and Master Xing.”

He got his answer when a body came flying through a wall, missing an arm. “Oh, there they are.”

The ponies watch in shock as the saw Master Xing forcibly kick a man in the face, sending him flying into the air. Another armor man cam up from behind him, cocking a weapon, only to get knocked back with a fierce kick to the chest. Master Xing had unraveled a long chain, sending it back to the flying body, wrapping it around the leg before yanking downwards, slamming the body into another armor figure. Another man rushed him with a baton, only to get punched in the throat for his trouble. While he gagged, Master Xing grabbed him by the vest and threw him towards the down men. He lifted his hand in confusion when he saw some sort of ring looped around his finger, before an explosion rip the men apart.

Agent Donovan was firing his handgun quickly as he could. His gun ran out of ammo and he threw it in the air, reaching into his vest and pulling out several throwing knives and quickly began to launch them. All the knives slipped past the armor, mostly the neck and groin area before he pulled out a spare magazine for his hand gun. Almost as if he planned the entire move, he reached out, grabbing his falling gun in midair, loaded it and fired all in the span of a few seconds.

“爸爸!(Papa!)” Young Celestia called out, Master Xing immediately rushed over to her side.

“你受伤了吗?(Are you hurt?)” Master Xing questioned her, looking her over. Young Celestia shook her head, but began to cry.

“号......但李....和陈.......华!(No....But Li....and Chan...and....Wah!)” Young Celestia began to sob out loud.

“I saw several bodies of kids before I found her.” Mutter Doctor Bright. “Fresh deaths. I believe they may have protected her from them. I found one GOC soldier who bled out from a wound to the leg, nicked an artery, and another who had a spear shoved into his throat.”

“Bless their souls.” Master Xing sighed. “Come. There is a hidden passage nearby.”

“Good, cause there is no doubt that these guy relayed what was happening here.” Donovan stated, hefting a Type 81 rifle. “We got to move.”

“This way.” Master Xing led them to a temple, still standing and with very little damage.


“Wait....this is the same temple that house the Elements isn't it?” Twilight asked. Celestia only nodded to this and point back to the memory.


Master Xing seemingly walked up to a random wall and began to focus, before slamming an open palm to the wall, revealing a hidden door.

“Impressive.” Doctor Bright said. Donovan looked back, only to curse when the wall he was leaning against exploded, throwing him to the ground.

“Crap! Enemy incoming.” Donovan crawled back and began to fire back.

“爸爸!元素!(Papa! The Elements!)” Young Celestia cried out when Doctor Bright passed Master Xing. Master Xing looked back and cursed, completely forgetting about the Stones. He reached for the cabinet, only curse again when the bullets began to impact all around him.

“What the hell are you still doing here?!” Donovan growled out.

“I need to grab something from the cabinet. It holds several priceless relics that has been passed down for centuries.”

“God damnit! Fine, I will cover you.” He lean out and began to fire rapidly outside, screams of agony indicating that he was hitting his target. Master Xing quickly open the cabinet, ducking when he felt the bullets whiz close by. He quickly grabbed a bag and began to place the stones in it. He just place the last stone in the bag and quickly tied it to his side, before the world simply tipped to the side. The ponies gasped as Master Xing went flying and slammed into the wall from an explosion. Master Xing groan, shaking his head, looking back to check on Donovan.

Donovan's legs were bleeding, mangled from a grenade He crawled over to the assault rifle and managed to turn onto his back, just in time to place several rounds into an advancing enemy. He looked back to see Master Xing limping over to him.

“Leave me! Get out of here.” Donovan shouted.

“We can still make it.” Master Xing reach for him, only for his hand to be batted away.

“I won't make it, not with this wound. Go! Celestia needs you more than she needs me.” Donovan gritted his teeth as the pain from the wounds began to over rid the adrenaline high. “She needs her father, not some Agent.”

“She looks up to you to like a brother.” Master Xing dragged him behind a pillar, “Maybe even as a small crush.”

“I'm flattered, trust me.” Donovan coughed, chuckling as he leaned out and fired. “But if I don't hold these guys back, they will get her, and it would all be for naught.”

Master Xing stared at the fallen man in shock. “You would sacrifice yourself for a being that is not even human?”

“What can I say, she grew on me over the years.” Donovan shrugged. “Tell her that I did this for her, that I died so she could live. Now get out of here!” Master Xing limped over to the entrance, Doctor Bright waiting for him.

“Where is Agent Donovan?” He asked as Master Xing slammed his fist into several sections of hidden wall, closing the wall up.

“爸爸......是哥哥多诺万在哪里?(Papa...Where is Brother Donovan?)” Young Celestia whimpered, Master Xing only gave a grave look before moving on. “号......不,不,不,不!我们要回去!大哥!(No...no,no,no,no! We have to go back! Big Brother!)” Celestia tried to free herself, but Doctor Bright held onto her tightly. Master Xing reached up grabbed a Dao hanging off the wall, to arm himself in case of more enemies.

Master Xing led Doctor Bright to the hidden exit, which was over looking the temple. Doctor Bright grimaced as he saw the state of the temple from their view, half of the temple was on fire while the other half was being ransacked by GOC soldiers. Something caught his view, causing him to curse.

Tied to the training poles was several Monks and disciples, looking closer to death than alive. An familiar figure was dragged into view, which caused Doctor Bright to curse in the first place. “Crap, they got Agent Donovan.”

The ponies watched as the GOC soldiers tied Agent Donovan to a pole and stood to the side. After a few minutes, a lightly armor man came forward and began to speak to him. The ponies were unable to hear what was being said, but whatever the response that came from Agent Donovan was not one the GOC man wanted to hear. He pulled out a gun, Donovan's own gun and walked down to the end of the line, an pointed the gun at a glaring boy, no older than Spike. He turn to Donovan, speaking again, but was cut off when the boy interrupted him, shouting at the top of his lungs.

“不要告诉他任何事!我们将很乐意去死亡,纯粹的,以保护的东西(DO NOT TELL HIM ANYTHING! WE WILL GLADLY GO TO DEATH TO PROTECT SOMETHING AS PURE AS-)” The gun shout out and Donovan roared in anger, cursing at the GOC man. He walked to the next person, asked another question, only to receive the same response. On and on this went, and all Young Celestia could do was weep.

“无...不许......(No...Not Xui...)” Young Celestia cried out, then began to sob when the gun fired again, killing the woman next to Agent Donovan. Master Xing was burning in anger, fighting the instinct to go down and avenge this pointless slaughter. The GOC man then lifted the gun to Agent Donovan and all Young Celestia was watch.

“第......号......没有求求你...(No.....No....no please...)” Agent Donovan spit at the man's face, who scowled and walked away, before quickly bringing the weapon up and began to fire the rest of the rounds, a feral smile on his face. Agent Donovan jerked with every hit, glaring one last time at the GOC man before his head fell.

Doctor Bright cried out in shock when Young Celestia began to glow a brightly, burning him slightly. Young Celestia was floating, crying and holding onto her head with hooves. “无无无无无无无无无 这是不会发生 无无无无无无无无无!(Nonononononono This isn't happening nonononono!)”

The GOC man notice them and barked at the soldiers, every single one of them raised their weapons and began to fire at Young Celestia.

“Celestia!” Both Master Xing and Boctor Bright called out, but were shocked when a barrier sprang up and deflected the shots. Young Celestia continue to float upward, shaking her head in denial. Master Xing tried to get close, but was unable to due to the heat.

“Help me!” He hissed at Doctor Bright, who was staring at something in the sky. He followed the Doctor's line of sight, which he stopped and stared as well. The entire valley began to glow with light. The ponies gasped in shock at what appeared to be a small sun appearing above the temple. The GOC man looked around in confusion, before looking up in surprise.

“无无无无无无无无无无无!(nononononnoNONONONONONO!)” Young Celestia forelegs fell to her side, her eyes glowing brightly, allowing herself to fall into the magic. The moment she did, the sun nearly tripled in size, shocking everyone in the valley. Hovering helicopters were engulfed in the sun, the crew did not even have time to scream before they were burn to atoms. All GOC soldiers began to run from the temple, but was too late to escape.

The sun barreled down onto the temple, nearly engulfing the entire valley before the sun exploded into a pillar of light. Master Xing covered his face and centered himself from the explosion, nearly thrown off his feet. Doctor Bright on the other hand, went tumbling end over end. The light faded away and Young Celestia tumbled to the ground, smoking slightly. Master Xing lowered his arm, expecting to see nothing more than melted stones, so he was surprised to see the temple still standing, although still damaged from the attack.

“My God....” Doctor Bright sat up in awe, “What power she holds within her.”

Master Xing quickly walked over to young Celestia to check on her, only to pull his hand back, hissing in pain from the heat she was emitting. “Still can't get a hold of her?” Doctor Bright asked, only to receive a shake of the head from Master Xing.

Doctor Bright looked over young Celestia as best he could. “Well, as far as I can tell, she is unconscious and probably depleted of her natural energy. She is going to have a headache the size of a mountain when she wakes up. We had several SCP exhaust themselves the same way and always complained of headaches afterward. Okay, she still pretty hot to hold on to, but not scorching.” Master Xing walked over, taking off his top robe and wrapping young Celestia in it. “Come on. We need to find a radio and find out why the hell our security did not show up.”


Celestia's horn glowed and the scene jumped ahead in time.


Dozen's of Foundation Agents, scientists, and clean up crew were roaming the Western Temple. Doctor Bright was examining a stone like statue of a GOC Soldier, his hands covering his face. Doctor Bright gently touched the statue's shoulder, causing it to crumble into fine dust.

“Doctor Bright, please, you need to see the medic.” A researcher pleaded to him.

“Bah, the idiot that shot me was a very poor shot. Showed him though. A good dose of cyanide to the base of the skull solved that problem pretty quick.” Doctor Bright muttered.

“Please Doctor.”

“Ah, fine!”

Master Xing and young Celestia watched as the Foundation members quietly laid the dead into body bags. Young Celestia watched with a blank look on her face, numbly watching as people she knew and loved get carried away.

“Amazing girl you have there.” A researcher said to Master Xing. “She managed to destroy the enemy with out destroying the entire temple, nor the dead citizens.” Master Xing said nothing to this statement.

“Master Xing.” Doctor Bright walked over to them. “Please follow me.” Master Xing silently followed, not saying a word. They walked to the burn out courtyard, its once filled with flowers and life, now holding nothing but death. In the center sat a Blackhawk, its engine beginning to sputter to life.

“I know that I am asking too much, especially after all that has happen. But I have my orders. I must bring Celestia to a Foundation site.” Doctor Bright told him. Master Xing only stared at him, the wind beginning to pick up due to the Blackhawk blades. “You saw what she is capable of Master Xing. She needs to control her powers or things might get worse. What would of happen if it was you down here instead of Agent Donovan. She looks up to you like a father, hell, she sees you as her father.”

Master Xing looked down in his arms, which held the young pony, lifeless eyes staring at nothing. Clutching tightly between her forelegs was a M1911 handgun, unloaded and safe to handle, Agent Donovan's personal weapon. Young Celestia found the weapon and held onto the weapon ever since. No one but Master Xing was able to pry from her and even then it was only for a moment, before her horn glowed and the weapon was back in her clutches. A grim look pass over his face before nodding his head and climbing onto the aircraft. “Take us.” He simply stated. The craft's blade spinning rapidly before it finally began to lift off, the view change to the interior of the Blackhawk. Master Xing watched as the temple, his home for as long as he could remember, disappear underneath the heavy cloud cover as the Blackhawk rose into the sky. He sighed once more, holding onto Celestia tightly before leaning his head back and closing his eyes.




-Somewhere underground-

The dark figure watched as the beings inside the modified containers morphed and shifted. A smile forming on her face.

“Soon my pets.” The figure came into the dim light, revealing Queen Chrysalis. “Soon my revenge will start.”

“Oh don't start the party just yet, we have to wait for these little humans to finish growing first.” A voice called out from the darkness.

“Oh?” Chrysalis's voice turn seductive “My dear man, what do you get out of all of this? Do you desire to get revenge on the Sun Princess as well?”

The figure walked into the dim light, revealing a human figure wearing a white suit. His dark skin, salt and pepper hair, and mischievous brown eyes. He smirked and held up his hands, shrugging while doing so.

“Lets just say that me and the Sun Princess have a....small matter to settle.”

(A/N: Don't worry, i haven't forgotten about SCP-173. A preview to the Enemy Boss if you will.
