The Origin Of Derpy

The Origin of Derpy: Part 1 Chapter 6

I charged into the doors of the police station knocking them open; slamming them against the wall. The room filled with inquisitive faces, all of which looked at me. The police station was a light brown with roman styled pillars for structural support. At the center of the station stood a tall booth were a policecolt sat behind. To the left of me were the cells filled with prisoners, where as the right was a waiting/questioing area where victims and suspects were being talked to by the police.

"Help! I need help!" I screamed, not at anyone in particular... I just needed somepony, anypony at all. A policecolt approached me.

"Hold on there missy, what's got you all in a fit?" He said not understanding the full gravity of the situation.

"Back at the orphanage.... A little filly, she's going to be hung." I said catching my breath.

"Ms. Lily's orphanage?" He asked looking as if I were loopy.

"Yes!"

"Why, there isn't a nicer place around here, nor kinder soul than her. And you say that there's going to be a hanging...? Tell ya what, why don't you go back home, lay down and come back when whatever your on wears off." He said talking down to me, as if I were out of my mind. He put his hoof to my shoulder, and I swatted back at him.

"Damnit listen to me! THERE IS GOING TO BE A HANGING!" All the police colt's and mare's began to laugh at me. Even the prisoners began to join in on laughing at me from my ridiculous statement.

"Shut up! The lot of you." A familiar voice sounded off. "Now what's this about a hanging?" said a colt exiting from the chief of police's office that was hidden away in the corner of the station.

"Maverick!" I cried, almost in tears.

"Oh hello again Ms Redheart, it's nice to see y-"

"No time! I need you to come with me! There's going to be a hanging at Ms. Lily's orphanage!" I interrupted him. He was taken back from my sentence, it was certainly not something he was expecting to hear.

"Are you sure about this?" He said with uncertainty in his voice. I approached him putting both my hooves on his shoulders.

"I need you to trust me. My daughter and her friends are in danger."

".....Alright, if your certain about this... I'll bring a squad over there."

"Thank you... Luna thank you so much" I began to weep as I embraced the colt that may very well be saving my daughter.

"Alright, squad 1 suit up and get ready to roll!" He shouted; immediately five police colt/mare's saluted and began prepping.

I sat on my haunches within the room, with both excitement and gloom within myself. On one hoof I was happy Redheart had found me, on the other I was dreading what was becoming of Sandy.

I got up and walked to the edge of the room where the window was. I took a look out noticing a rather large crowd down below, within Zone 2's mine entrance. The constant of not knowing what was happening was driving me insane. I began to pace back and forth within the room trying to take my mind off of what may or may not be happening. With each passing of the window I looked out towards the crowd...

"Daze and Sandy may be down there...." I began thinking aloud. "They may need my help.... But I was told to sta...... No i'm going to help them! They need me!" And with that I bolted out of the room, running down the stairs.

          I made it to the end of the stairwell that led out towards the hallway's. I poked my head out and saw there were no guard's at their post, feeling uneasy about no one being there I looked around to confirm that no one was around. After I felt re-assured that no one was there I made my way towards the Colt/Mare hallway.

I bolted out of the crowd, heading directly towards Cobblemane. He saw my charge and took action, instantly bolting himself up into the air. He hung there for only a moment then with all his force slammed back down at me, knocking me face first into the mud. I was pinned to the ground, my broken hoof exposed and being stomped on by Cobblemane's hind hoof.

"Looky what we got hear... A hero!" He said as he flared his hooves upwards, displaying himself in triumph. Everypony else just began to laugh at my feeble attempt to save Sandy. "Did you really think a pathetic worm like yourself could ever best me?" He asked in a reassured tone. I didn't care what he had to say... as long as his attention was on me and not Sandy.

I watched as Sandy rolled over onto her back, her front completely drenched within her own blood, and broken bones evident throughout her body. Without warning she began to breath heavily and moan loudly as she clenched her stomach. Oh Celestia.... THE BABIES COMING!

"Okay everyone ready? Then let's move out! Redheart you lead the way, the rest will follow." Maverick announced. All the colt's and mare's were now dressed in armored black suits, with arsenals at all sides. They all turned to face me, awaiting my order.

"Alright, this way everypony!" We began to head to the outskirts of town back into the forest. Practically knocking everypony within the streets out of the way. Within minutes we reached the entrance of the Everfree forest. Once we had re-entered the forest, Maverick began to speed up taking his place along side me.

"So is what you say true?"

"Of course it is. I just wish it wasn't." He paused in his thoughts for a moment before he began speaking once more.

"Back at the station... I heard you say your daughter was in danger; What's your daughter doing at the orphanage?"

"It's a long story..." I said as I thought back to that faithful night. "Let's just focus on the job at hand, please."

"I'm sorry I just don't fully comprehend what your saying"

"She's... She's not mine but she is." His face became more puzzled. "I'm her surrogate mother." His confusion grew on his face, but he decided not to pry at me.

"I see... EVERYONE DOUBLE TIME!" Maverick shouted with determination evident within his voice. The rest of the squad picked up there pace leaving me in the dust. Maverick stood behind an extra second before rejoining his squadron. "We'll save them, don't worry."

I was just at the hallway entrance when I felt a force hold me back, causing me to fall to the floor. I looked back and saw a glow consuming the end of my tail.

"And where do we think we're going?" It was Ms. Lily. Somehow I hadn't seen her when I scouted the area. Her magic now completely engulfing my tail making it impossible for me to make my exit.  "My my, I only thought Cobblemane was bluffing. I did not think of Daze to be so foolish to bring a filly back here... Then again, she was stupid enough to think she could protect Sandy. That poor naive girl. So what is your name?" She asked looking down upon me. I did not answer; I instead looked outwards towards the hallway just barely making out the backsides of the crowd out in Zone 2. Ms. lily put her hoof under my chin and turned my head back to hers. "Deary this can go one of two ways. One you tell me your name, or two I make you scream out your name... I much rather you choose the first one, I rather not get my hooves dirty."

"Derpy..." I said in a low muttered tone.

"Very well... Derpy... Did Daze ever tell you as to why no one ever see's me around my compound?" I shook my head in response. "It's for a number of reasons, but this one is my favorite" She said as she grinned at me with a devious smile. I looked up and her horn began to shine brighter than when she had my tail in her spell. A aura engulfed both of us now. My sight became blurry as all the images I saw were becoming more and more wavy. Within a few moments a sudden flash erupted and we were no longer within the aura.... we were no longer near the hallway either. Instead we were within a deep damp room, the dim lights flickering on and off as a foul smell found it's way up my nostrils. I put my hooves to my nose to stop the smell. Ms. Lily did the opposite, she embraced it and took a large inhale.

"Ahhh... Smell it Derpy. The smell is still fresh." She said as she exhaled

"What smell is this..?" I asked hesitantly.

"I'll show you." And with that Ms. Lily lit up the entire room, powering the lights with her magic. What she revealed was all too horrific. Rows and rows of metal slabs with disected bodies on them, pouring out their blood and entrails into buckets below each table. I instantly fell to the floor and threw up. "Mmmm yes, the sight is too great for words. You see Derpy, most people think I have the mine for riches, because I'm greedy and want the gems for myself. That is not the case, you see mining has some of the most occupational hazards of any job. Once somepony accidentally harms themselves, they're taken here, and I deem wether or not they're able to continue working. If they are I heal them and send them on their way. If not, well... They never leave. As for the gems, we sell them. Its a sure fire way to make sure  that we receive no government aid, thus allowing us to continue our operations without worry of any royal guard's coming our way to investigate the compound.

"Why would you do this?"

"You still don't understand do you? It's very simple you see. We are disgusting creatures, we are flawed, horrid designs of our creator... I seek to perfect that which needs it."

"So all... all these.. Pon-"

"Abominations is the correct term, and yes they were my little experiments." She said making her way towards me all the while looking at the metal slabs."All those wasted lives, yet not wasted. No they were a part of the greater good. A noble yet necessary sacrifice to serve for all of us." She said as she took away her attention of the dead bodies to face me."Now that you know" She jumped towards me wrapping her hooves around me, forcing me into a headlock. She then used her magic to open my eyelids to their full extent and then some. "And now that you know... Your going to be my newest test subject." She said as she licked her lips apart. "Let's start with those eyes. shall we?"

"No!" I screamed and thrashed around in her arms

"Oh good, I love it when they got a little fight in them" She then encased me in another aura pinning me on an empty, blood stained slab and put the leather restraints on all four of my hooves.

"Celstia no PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME!" I pleaded

"Let's begin shall we?" She stated as she lifted an unknown device up into the air.

"Get up!" Cobblemane demanded. I just laid there, eye's locked onto Sandy as her cries became louder. "Get up! Now!" Cobblemane kicked me, rolling me over to Sandy's side. I looked at her and she at me. I crawled closer to her and began whispering to her.

"It's okay i'll get you through this." She only shook her head at me, closing her eyes that were beginning to tear up. Her bottom lip began to quiver and she jerked her head away from me. "Don't you dare give up on me!" I scolded at her as I gripped her hoof. "We will get you out of here, we will be alright!" My talking was cut short by Cobblemane kicking me once again, knocking me to the edge of the mine entrance that was a straight down pillar into an abyss. He took a moment to slowly lower his leg down from his kick and began walking towards me on his hind legs, his wings completely unfurled.

"Don't you see? Your helpless! You wont be able to save her!" He said as he placed a hoof onto my head as I struggled to stay outside of the mines. "You cant even help yourself."He lifted his hooves above his head forming a crescent shape; He began to look onto the crowd that had formed around us. They all cheered at what they were witnessing, an over whelming  sense of approval from everypony. And with that he looked down at me. "Any last words?" I took one last look at Sandy, all the thoughts of what would and could have been flowed through my mind in an instant. The possible life we could have had... me... Sandy... Derpy... Redheart... The freedom we could have tasted all washed away in an instant. I lifted my gaze from her and uttered my final words.

"Burn in hell"

"Not before you my dear." And with that he pushed me down the mine.

As I fell I heard one last shriek from Sandy.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

I let go of reality. Releasing every emotion and sense that I was feeling or had ever felt. I then closed my eye's and began waiting for my innevitable demise.
