Dark Science

---POV Blade Tech---

I brought the girls to another big metal room with big round table in the center and big widescreen TV on wall. I sat down with the TV screen right behind me and the girls sat on the opposite side of the table.

“Alright ladies I'm sure you are all very confused on what going on and want to ask me a billion questions.”

They all nodded. “Well that's why I'm here. You are all apart of top secret project. The equestrian elites. You see a very long time ago I started this project with one goal in mind. To keep equestria safe by any means necessary. You see this world is not as peaceful as it seems to be. It has very ugly and evil side that not very many people know about.

There are Heros in this world that do protect it, but they only go to the fight when the problem reaches to high enough point that they need to step in. However this project was made to make sure those threats never escalate to equestria danger levels.

As for your past. I'm not going to lie. You were all once the greatest Heroes in the land specially the bearers of the elements of harmony and were all great friends to each other. You all have saved equestria more than once. But about a month ago you were all captured and tortured to near death with very little chance of pulling through. Celestia felt awful for what happened so I took it upon myself to make sure you all lived to see another day.

Unfortunately there was only so much I could do and I was forced to use unorthodox methods to make sure you all lived and I am sorry to tell these changes are permanent. As for why you all don't remember anything is because you were all so traumatized from the experience it drove you all to near insanity a fit only got worse so the only way to fix it was clear your minds. Your old memories will come back to you over time but I made sure the traumatic experiences will never come back.

I'm sorry if hate how you turned out in the recovery process, but equestria still needed Heros and wasn't going to just sit by let equestria die. I perfectly understand if you see me as a monster, a criminal, even a psychopath I won't blame you.”

All the girls stood in small shock at what they just heard and were all speechless. They then all turn to each other and then twilight spoke up. “If it's ok with you can we discuss this in private.”

I then got up from my chair. “Please take all the time you need.”

I then walked out the door and closed the door behind me. Anna was leaning up against the wall beside the door. “You seriously told them the truth ?”

I smiled. “A little trick I learned a long time ago. Sometimes the truth can be the best lie.”

She had a deadpan expression. “You're a psychopath.”

I chuckled “Tell me something I don't know.”

Anna just rolled her eyes. “You really think they will actually work with you ?”

“If they don't we can always try again we still have the mind erasing tech. That's why we experiment. We study and learn from our mistakes to improve.”

“Whatever you say big bro.”

After a few minutes blade comes back in to check on them. “Have you made a decision?”

They all were quiet for but but then twilight stood up. “We have. We all agree that it will be hard to get use too. But we have agreed that you had good reason to do what you did. Even if might not like our new bodies it was necessary sacrifice if it was to keep equestria safe. We will gladly stay with you if it means we can keep equestria safe.

This went better than I expected. I then smiled. “Glad to see you all agree now do you have any more questions?”

Twilight then spoke. “Just 1 can we see our families.”

My smile faded and sighed. “I'm sorry but because of new forms I know from experience that the public would not like what they see. For the time being to keep the public from going into total panic you have to make sure to avoid anyone who might recognize. I'm sorry but to keep equestria safe and at peace the world must think you're all dead.”

They all looked sad. “I am so sorry but I will do everything in my power to make sure your families will be safe from anyone who wants to hurt them if villains get too reckless. You have my word.”

They all looked at each other then back at blade. Then Timberjack spoke. “If you think it's for the greater good doc then I trust you.”

The clarity (aka rarity) spoke. “If she's in then so am I.”

Then flutterbat spoke shyly but still showing some courage. “C-C-C-Count me in too.”

Then pinkamena. “Sure thing Mr. master blade.”

Then twilight. “It would be my honor.”

Then finally Dash. “You bet your ass I'm in.”

Blade smiled warmly. “Glad you all agree. Now if you will all follow me so I can show you your rooms.”

Blade took them to their rooms. There were 3 identical rooms. They had metal walls and ceilings with 2 plain white beads in each room. Shadow Dash bunked with Twilight Sparks, Timberjack with clarity, and pinkamena with flutterbat. They were all very tired and all went to sleep when they got the chance.

I walked toward back to my room but I ran into Anna on the way there. “They decided to stay on their own.”

He held out his hand. “Pay up.”

She groaned and got 50 bucks from her wallet and gave it to me. “Oh wipe that smirk off your face before I do it for you.”

I rolled my eyes as I took the money. “We both know you won't. Love you little sis”

I walked back to my room as she rolled her eyes to head toward her’s.
