At MMSC, day three of trial

Darren Jr was talking with Walter III

"I have come to the conclusion that the sentences are already being carried out. Justice Reinhard is boring us to death and he is succeeding at that. Now my father, what a speaker. At a rally back on Earth in 2066, he had over two point five billion people at the palm of his hand for the entire afternoon," he said, as hs remembered old memories.

At the hotel where Daniel Sr and his friend's were staying at

"As legal strategy, Your documentary approach has been unassailable. But as drama, it is, l regret to say, absolutely stultifying," Spike said

"As you know, it's not meant to be entertainment. lt's meant to be a trial," Jr said

"And it's ours to lose. A trial is a show, Jr. Like it or not, it's a show. And those learned judges sitting on the bench are as impressionable as any audience," Spike said

"Your pushing for witnesses?" Jr asked his father

"Witnesses will give this trial a humane face. One compelling witness can outweigh a ton of documentary evidence," Sr said

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
Day four of trial, Palace of the Supreme Justice

A young man in his late thirtys was on the stand, behind lists the name's of several facilities that were stationed in the three big cities off the eastern coast. Reinhard soon came up to the man

"Mr. Voinovich, while you were stationed at Sachson, were you at one time asked to participate in a experiment?"

"Y-yes sir, I was."

"Did the head of the facility, Professor Felhand, ever explained to you the purpose?"

"He said that Darren Jr ordered the experiments to collect data on the various lifeforms on this planet and to send back data to him so that he could deliver them to Dr. Dyson Sr. But there was another purpose."

"Go on."

"Darren Jr was interested in the humanoid species that had human characteristics such as standing upright and having opposable thumbs. He said that Dyson had sent a memo asking to conduct experiments to see if it was possible to interbreed humans with humanoid creatures such as dragons and griffons."

"Mr. Voinovich, did you or any of your associate's ever received the memo?"

"No. We never saw the memo posted up. Even though we were suspicious, we went to work on the experiment. We first gathered up to fifty female dragons and griffons. Then we gather the same amount of male dragons and griffons."

"And then what happened?"

"Well, we started the experiment by doing In vitro fertilisation, with the sperm being donated by fifty male humans. We had to make genetic edits to the sperm to make it compatible for it to be successful, but not too much to make it no longer human. We then took egg cells from the dragons and griffons, put them in vitro, inserted the sperm into the eggs, waited for three days, and then inserted them into the uterus of the dragons and griffons."

"What about female humans and male dragons and griffons?"

"Well, we did the same thing, except we had to edit the sperm of the male dragons and griffons without making too much difference in the genes. We waited for nine months for the female humans to give birth. The dragons and griffons however were a different story."

"In what way were the dragons and griffons different?"

"Well, either because of their biology or due to being experimented on by our equipment, the dragons and griffons had given birth within 6 months after the procedure had started. Some of the griffons had laid eggs, while the others had given live birth."

"What were the live births like?"

"Well, the live births were hybrids, in which they are described as from the waist up, they had human torsos, except that they had wings and they had scales up to their elbow. From the waist down, they a lions tail, hind legs, and paws."

Everyone in the court were shocked by what Mr. Voinovich was saying, but none were more shocked then Daniel Sr.

"There's more hybrids?" Daniel Sr thought to himself. "Glenda's not the only one?"

"What about the dragons and the humans?" Fredrick asked

"Well for the dragon's, they had laid eggs within six months, just like some of the griffons. There was one case of a live birth. The live birth was a hybrid, like the griffons. Now in the case of the eggs, we had them placed in incubators for three months."

"And what happened next?"

"Well, after three months, the eggs began to hatch. The majority of the hatchlings were in physical terms like dragons and grffions. The minority of the hatchlings were like the hybrids."

"What about the female humans?"

"Well, some of the females had complained of small discomfort. That gave us a sign that the offspring that were growing inside in some of them was not human. Within nine months however, they gave birth to human newborns. There was no noticeable difference in them."

Frederick went up to Voinovich with a piece of paper and gave it to him

"Mr. Voinovich, would be as so kind as to read the final report that was made to Dyson Sr?"

"'At the end of the experiment, it was concluded that it is possible for a human to interbreed and gave birth from a different species. In the case of the female dragons and griffons, some of the griffons and the majority of the dragons had laid eggs within six months. Some of the offspring were physically similar to the mothers, while the rest were hybrids. In the case of the female humans, the newborns were physically similar to their mothers.'"

Fredrick took the paper and and looked at Voinovich

"Mr. Voinovich, do you recall what happened to the dragons, griffons, and humans that were involved in the experiment?"

"The male dragons and griffons were taken to the camp after the start of the experiment and were killed there. The female dragons and griffons were placed in a building near the facility with their offspring and cared there during the war. The female humans and their offspring were taken back to Earth for further examination. And the male humans who donated the sperm were sent to the frontlines and within two weeks were killed in action."

Everyone in the room went silent upon hearing of the experiment. Darren Jr was indifferent to this.

A few minutes later, a mare was on the stand, she had a white colored body and pink hair.

"Mrs. Fleur, you were in Manehattan the day it was invaded?" A Changeling asked

"Yes I was." Fleur responded

"What happened?"

"A month after the start of the occupation, me and my husband, Fancy Pants, were arrested, interrogated and ordered to sign an agreement to give up our right to live. We refused. The officer threatened us. l told him, ''We are not afraid of being shot.'' He said, 'We have means at our disposal which are far worse than being shot.'"

"What happened after you two were arrested?"

"Soon afterwards, l was separated from my husband, and found myself packed with 230 other mares in a sealed train on our way to the camp."

"A sealed train?"

"With limited food and water. At the camps, the trains ran almost all the way to the gas chamber. They unsealed the cars and the soldiers let everyone out. l saw stallions, mares, fillies and colts, old couples forced to part from each other. Mothers made to abandon their children. None were aware of the fate that awaited them. Those selected for the gas chamber were immediately driven to a blue building. l saw my closest friend on that truck. She called to me, ''Think of my little colt if you ever get back to Manehattan.'' Then she put her arm around another mare and they began singing Equestria's national anthem. "

Everyone felt sorry for Fleur.

"One night, we were awakened by horrible cries. The next day we learned that the guards had run out of gas and the children had been thrown into the furnaces alive."

"And of the 230 mares on that train, how many made it back to Manehattan?"

"Only twenty seven made it back."

Everyone was shocked at Fleurs statement

"And did you ever find your husband?"

"No. I was later told by a guard that my husband was killed immediately after arriving at the camp two days later."

Fleur soon got up and with Braeburn, her emotional support, began to leave the stand, yet she looked at the defendants. Most of them had no emotion, except for Ivan, Belkin, Miller, and Albert, who looked remorseful. However, Jr had no emotion.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
Day five of the trial, morning, near the courtroom in another part of Palace

Daniel Sr, his son, and his fiance were looking through papers when a young man came in.

"There you are. The film came in late last night, and l was up until dawn watching it. Very few people have seen this film. You have got to enter this into evidence this morning."

Jr and Gilda didn't know what the man was talking about. But Sr had a solemn look

"Is it the film I knew about?"

"Yeah."

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
Later that same day, in the courtroom, a young army soldier was speaking

"May it please the tribunal. Equestria now offers a film into evidence. lt was compiled from motion pictures taken by military photographers as their armies liberated the area in which the concentration/extermination camp was located."

The film soon played. It showed the area in which the camp was built and the time period it was expected to operate, which would five years. Then the footage changed to showing the dead bodies of the camp inmates who killed by the gas chambers. It then showed tens of hundreds of canisters of poison gas. It then showed some of the prisoners who were barely alive, yet suffered malnutrition. The film continued to show atrocity after atrocity. Daniel Sr sighed with sadness, Daniel Jr was horrified by what he was seeing, the judges were shocked, Ivan was crying silently, some of the audiences had left the room, and Darren Jr had shown some sign of discomfort. The film ends. No one said anything as everyone began to leave the courtroom.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
Later that evening at MMSC

Darren Jr and his cronies were eating lunch in the cafeteria. Ivan, Belkin, and Miller were sitting alone in a corner. Jr looked at his loyalist.

"You know, it was such a nice day, with laughter and joking. But then they had to show that horrid film. It's fake and propaganda. Anyone can do it. A little bit editing. Still," Jr said

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
At the same time, at the hotel Darren Sr, Daniel Sr and his friends were in the penthouse.

"Those films. During the war, I'd been hearing rumors that Darren Jr had established a concentration and extermination camp. I didn't want to believe that Darren Jr had gone full Hitler mode. But when I heard about it from Belkin and Miller, and when I saw those films, it confirmed my worst fears," Sr said

"I still don't understand. Why would humanity make the same mistakes that the Nazis did during WW2. I thought for sure that humanity would never make the same mistake again," Twilight said

"Well, I guess Darren Jr never learned," Daniel Jr said

Then Spike came into the room with a man

"Daniel Sr, you have a visitor."

Daniel Sr looked up and recognised him.

"Dr. Dyson Medkos Sr."

"Hello Daniel Sr, it's been a long time," Dyson said

"What are you doing here?"

"I wish to speak with you, alone," Dyson asked

Daniel Sr got up and he and Dyson Sr went to the balcony to discuss.

"What do you think Dyson Sr wanted to talk about?" Fluttershy asked

"Don't know sugercube, but ah think he wants to apologise for his role in the experiment," Applejack said

The ponies and Daniel Jr watched through the class as Daniel Sr and Dyson Sr were talking, although they couldn't hear what they were saying due to the glass being soundproof. For the first few minutes, everything seemed to be calm. But then, Daniel Sr started to get angry and was starting to yell at Dyson Sr, although no one could hear the yell. After a few more minutes, Dyson Sr sighed and left thorough the door, got onto the elevator, and left.

Daniel Jr went up to his father

"Dad, what happened? What did Dyson say?"

"Dyson wanted to say that he never sent the memo for the experiment and that he never authorized or even thought of such experiment."

"That's good, but what happened?"

Sr sighed and looked at his son

"Since he found out about Glenda, he asked me to 'make more of her kind.'"

"You mean he wanted you to..."

"Yes, he wanted me to mate with every known species on this planet. I told him no, in that I was already engaged to Gilda and that I was happy with her, that I wasn't his little test rat."

Jr looked down at the ground, then looked at Sr

"Well, why don't you tell Gilda about this. Get her opinion about it."

"I want to, but I'm afraid that if I do, she'll want to call of the engagement."

"Dad, listen, I know your scared. But if you don't tell Gilda about this, you'll never be at peace. Trust me."

Sr looked at Jr and smiled

"I guess your right son. I'll talk to Gilda."

Sr left and went up to the room to where Gilda was. Jr came back into the living room.

"So, what happened?" Rarity asked

Jr told them what Sr had told him.

"Oh," Rainbow Dash said

"Yeah. Dad's going to talk about it with Gilda. Until then, let's just see what happens," Jr said, as he looked on into the night.

Author's Note

The trial is going smoothly, but for how long? Daniel Sr is going to discuss what Dyson had said to Gilda. What will happen next?
