Record of chaos- The Better six

"Friends?, really that's it?" The diarch was amused.

"Yes, really. I mean im heir to a corporate close enough to the royal sisters, it not like i need anything that can be bought." answered amber.

"Fine by me" said Stella shrugging her shoulders.

"...sure, welcome to the club!" Pillows added.

an "Uhu" came out from Serene with a bow of her head indicating a yes.

"We are already friends" grinned dawn light

"Well... i dont see why not. We will have enough time to know each other anyway. Welcome aboard" Abundance raised her hand to her for a shake.

"Eyup" Amber took her hand and shook her hand.

Then a stomach grumble coming from the dragon baby silence the room, making the mares giggle.

"So, leaving that aside. As you may know, we came to see what this little fella will eat. I think his stomach is telling us to speed it up." said amber

"oh!, yeah, right. Follow me please." with a small bow of her head in reverency Pillows then proceedeed to guide them through the various dishes.

You may be wondering, why feed "normal" food to a literal newborn. Well, you see the old scrolls, papers and overall leftover of dragon kind, mainly those written by them, had glimpses of their biology, including their newborns, not their eggs however. Now, Specifically thanks to Dawn they learned some key points of that newborn biology. First Unlike ponies, dragons did not need to necesarily eat breast milk at early stages post birth, however it was encouraged, it could not be provided since since neither sol, moon or their maids were currently expecting a baby as of now. Second, their learned that theoretically, they COULD eat normal complex food even as baby's just in very small meassure wich was fine since baby's dont usually eat that much, and about gems they of course could eath them as adults or perhaps even kids, but in their baby state they could basically use them as lollipops or perhaps a pacifiers, if given the right precious gem.

So, as expected giving small doses of multiple types of food, the baby ate the small treats or well more like engulfed since he barely had any teeth as of now. No food being unable to be digested so far, except onion and melon, wich the baby would just throw up. In the case of the gems, there was a particularly shaped diamond the baby liked wich resembled the Diamond cutie mark of "Normal reality" Rarity, this one however was lavander. After some tentative licks, the baby would moan in approbal and start sucking on it like a pacifier.

"awww" the diarch and the fillys awwed at the scene.

"a-a-achu!"the baby snorted green flames sneezing, and for a moment the mares in the room got shocked but then relaxed knowing this was normal, however what they did not expect was that at the same time the lavander pacifier diamond that was in his mouth, for a second got covered in these green flames and instantly appeared in Abundance's mane, who felt the weight of the object sticking to it.

"huh?!" abundance after looking at it was both just a little disgusted because of the salive a but mostly surprised.

"what in the-" Stella's mouth was hanging open

"did THAT just happen?" amber Asked with a pointing finger

*thud* Serene's bottocks touched the ground, as she fell to the ground from sheer amazement

"Oh-my-G.O.D!, what?!" Pillows was Ecstatic

"b-b-bu-but-h-how?" Dawn was flabberghasted, she knew all living beings had "some type of magic", since magic, from what she learned was thanks to the princesses and dragonic papers was literally energy, and living beings were well...energy with will and mass basically, but she never heard or knew of a dragon that expressed magic in a way not related to flames, flight or body manipulation (see the fact that uncontrolled "greed" and "accumulation" can make thier bodies massive) but... was this she just witnessed teleportation? one of the hardest magics to date and also draining spells? even the diarchs felt drainned from each one, and had some seconds of time they had to wait to do it again, usually they being able to perhaps teloport 10 times before they felt highly tired, and gasping for breath, alotugh yes, distance and size affected the "backlash" or drain, Yet, this literal NEWBORN teleported a diamond pacifier to her friends head like it was NOTHING?!, and it did not even seemed tired!, he was smiling at her!.

Dawn wasted no time in hugging the baby close to her currently flat bossom and covered his head in kisses "aww, my little genious!, just like his mom, heheh!"

*giggles* "fire based teleportation magic?, pftt. If this does not prove he is Sol's baby nothing will" Princess moon laughed to herself. "Though i did not take you to be a doting mother young filly, remember he is my niece ♪" , Moon teased as Dawn got flustered and the filly's all giggled at her expense.

Ever since then progress would be made in all their respective "jobs" through the years, as they came to know one another, deepening their mutual bonds , an in a sense a mirroring lot of situations to those of the "normal/original" reality however fitting in this worlds logic and reality that is. One of the changes however was that the situation of the kingdom got worse. The Creatures and the corrupted mana itself became stronger and stronger, year by year. slowly but steadily the kindgdom shrank, both in size and in morale, a mixture of the effects of having less food, water, "Habitable" land and the death and despair of both citizens and soldiers. The reason for this was that these entities or the "posssed" individuals,continued to assimilate, kill or overall push the people more and more to a corner, obviously this having the implications of ever shrinking "safe" areas of the kingdom, this including farm land wich resulted and of course the limited food and water.

However, light shines not in the shadow of the sun, but in the dark of night. All the efforts, that progress of the filly's and eventually dragon made during the last 13 years was paying off.

In the case of abundance she became fascinated with the knowledge in metalurgy, Chemistry and Physics aquired from the half finished blue prints and mountains of text left behind after they where decyphered by Dawn.

Applying said knowledge and being Inspired by the biology of dragons, she made multiple discoveries and prototypes focusing on the mechanic of "fire" or "heat" over the years. One breakthrough in particular was the "revolver". A hand held weapon born by her inspiration in the biology of dragons, specifically their head, being able to shoot fire, and the strength of the fire shot, one day she wondered if shee could "replicate that" however she had forgotten a small piece of metal was loose on the prototype tool "cilinder cannon" and it flew off in a incredible speed, creating a crater on the wall. This lucky mistake, allowed her to create the very first ever GUN. From there on out, she would continue her endeavour in weaponry. This being a heaven send, in matters of both military and civilian defense.

In the case of Dawn she focused more on the equally large data collected from the pony investigators that worked alongside dragons and found how they had made theories of "thermodynamics and thermomagical dynamics" , hell even practical small scale experiments related to fire, fire magic or more especifically heat energy and how it related to magic. One sentence repeated however in most of the texts. "In our observations magic and the "source" of the energy wich allows it, t cannot be destroyed or created, just transformed" , after assimilating what she learned, it helped to discover magic spells and war strategies.

In the case of Stella she slowly but surely got more muscle and fat in her body. As her diet got better. The trainning from the royal guards was infernal but slolwly and surely she got a hang of it. So much in fact that she started adding elemental magic to the mix. Something highly difficult and dangerous to control for most pegasi (see first chapters) however serene always took care of her wounds so, unlike many she could continue to try not risking long lasting damage to her body.she swowly but surely developed her skills. Wich became good enough to , if she wanted be in the elite hybrid troops (air and land) also known as the Thunder bolts. Named after the high speed and strength of thunder. Just like their members. However being a devote to her word, princesses and friends, she never did.

In the case of Amber altough her job was to make everything stay running and metaphorically speaking "oiling the machine" including administrative work...She still was an apple. Any and all knowledge, blue prints and prototypes related to agriculture and food, she took them in. In facf the discarded blueprints or research paper that neither Dawn or Abundance overall finished or dedicated time to since "their priority" was focused on defense and offence of the kingdom and its citizens.

In one particular day, she found in the thousands of discarded folders of said documents of what looked like a machine that was filled with tubes and tanks that ended in a big cilindric tank to collect something. This picked her curiosity since the blue print tank had a "earth" symbol in the tank.After asking abundance, she disvovered that this machine was to theoretically able produce amonia but since Abundance didnt found a use for it at the time she carelessly put in the "backburner". This however of course infuriated her for not consulting with her, if it not been for her looking up discarded documents, this could have been lost to time!, on the other hand she was highly excited, because if she remembered right from her home teachers for the mandatory business in agriculture classes, amonia was needed to make fertilizers and the effect the war was having on its disponibility was big, as in there is none. Therefore the yield and amount of crops that could be farmed was in an all time low, but now she could change that

Holy buck, it seems those forced classes are now actually useful?.. she thought.

So she came up with an idea, she would try to replicate with the help of the metalurgists of the apple family this machine and if it worked right she would focus all money she could massively produce, this in order to help with the production of fertilizers that was urgently needed. After the success of this machine, Amber would make a new flow pattern into the mix for everyone.

First, If any info was "not useful" for abundance or Dawn (formerly Dusk), it would be passed to her, if her however could do nothing out of it , THEN it would be given to serene, wich if didnt use it EITHER it would be passed to Pillows and so on and so forth, until EVERY SINGLE BIT OF DATA could be used for something. The rest of the documents, would be for the review of either the princesses or the growing prince, crown.

In the case of Serene, of course she continued with her studies. However in her free time, she did a subspeciality , after a reading a particular paper, she got enamoured with a branch of medicine on its early stages, Microbiology. ever since some decades ago it was of public knowlege that sickness for the most part was a cause of external agents to the body, or malfunctions of it for say, trauma or mal nourishment. However in the external agens part, she was hooked, be it either macroscopic like ticks , or microscopic organisms like bacteria, and fungi. This all started since the creation of the microscope, one of, the last gifts to pony kind by other civilizations, in this case however by water hypogriffs. However in the papers left, she read one that had a catching theme "how to make a bacterial culture, low budget" since then, she did lots of crazy tests, one in particular changed everything. She with the help of Pillows who got her the materials, had a culture of some bacteria, That she left to cultivate at room temperature (Microbiological ovens did NOT exist at the time) and let it sit for some days, however when she returned, the plate was also contaminated by some aire borne spore fungi, she didnt know. She was going to throw it away (responsibly) but Pillows being the ever crazy mare she was, appeared behind her and just said "you know, its weird how one of those things seems to repell the other right?" Serene did not understand what she was talking about, making a sound and face that indicated it.

"what do i mean?, look that halo, isnt it werd that the dish there is filled with both of those things both in the case of the mold, for some reason it has like a halo in wich the other thing does not reach!, its weird right?". Pillows was very keen to observation, despire what others may think.

"AAAAH!?" this made Serene realized it was true, what was this?!. After further investigation with the help of pillows, who apparently had more of a Science brain than one would give her credit for, led to the first ever mare made antibiotic!

In the case of pillows, she did her best, she took care of all the needs of both her friends and royal family, also by chance she became a part time Investigator!, after serene begged her to learn science and be her aid so she could focus on surgery instead!, it seemed she was just that perspicacious so serene entrusted those things to her. So she did, and besides being the royal head cook, she was one of the mothers of modern Microbiology!, she did lots of crazy stuff i assure you. I mean, we are talking about PILLOWS! (Alternate pinkie).

Now, in the case of Crown...
