The Horrible Chimera Laboratory: Tragic Reconstruction

Everything was going to be just fine.

Why wasn't it just fine? What happened? Why now? Why couldn't we stop it?

All I remember is that tune, that damn tune.

Then, everything was gone.

Why after such a happy event? Why at all? Is this a nightmare? Is it just a dream?

Why do I feel cold? Why do I hear screaming? What is happening?

Were is the Princess? Can't she help us? Can't the elements help?

This must be the end.

It is finished. We are finished.

Fluttershy began being able to hear sounds again. Everything sounded like gibberish, and there were odd noises mixed in with talking. She twitched a bit, and realized she wasn't in her normal bed. The ground was hard, felt smooth, and pretty cold.

She slowly opened her eyes and everything was blurry. Fluttershy then felt her head, noticing some bandages there. She blinked repeatedly, and began being able to see and hear more clearly.

"Fluttershy!" said a voice, it sounded like Applejack

Fluttershy blinked, and slowly stood up. With a look to the side, she saw she was in a small glass cage. The room outside was larger, consisting of multiple of these cages. Then she looked at the one across from hers, and saw Applejack.

"Applejack...?" muttered Fluttershy wearily.

Applejack had a very gloomy look, but she smiled slightly to Fluttershy, "It's alright girl, how are yah feeling?"

Fluttershy rubbed her eyes, and tried to think, but it came with a very bad headache.

"My head..." said Fluttershy.

Applejack frowned, "Ah know girl, you took one to the head real hard. Ah'm glad your alright though."

Fluttershy looked at the walls, and saw some signs. Most notably, on large on above the door into the room said 'Chimera Lab unfinished chimera cells'.

"What... why?" asked Fluttershy, having trouble thinking.

She heard another voice come from her side.

"Those damn pigs." said Rainbow Dash, "Those god forsaken Pigs."

Fluttershy looked to see Rainbow Dash sitting in the cell beside hers. But, she was covered in bandages, and her eye had an eyepatch over it. From it she saw a bit of blood, only hinting at what Fluttershy worried happened.

"Rainbow Dash, just stay calm. Yah don't want to hurt yourself now." said Applejack,

Fluttershy looked more closely around, and saw Rarity was in the small bed behind Applejack in her cell. although, she was very bad looking, and covered in what looked like third degree burns and bandages.

"I just wish the party was still going..." said Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie was in the cell next to Applejack, she looked pretty fine at first. Then, Fluttershy saw something was wrong with her left fore-leg. It wasn't normal anymore, it was metallic, and had numerous lights on it.

Fluttershy was already shaking and tearing up as she asked "What happened? Why is everypony hurt?"

Applejack sighed, "You must've lost some of your memory... Ah hate to say it.. but were done. We've lost all of our homes, and Canterlot it likely still burning."

Fluttershy gasped, "How?! I remeber the coronation! we were all having fun! Twilight was a Princess!"

Rainbow Dash growled slightly, "A couple days after that, Canterlot was attacked. Twilight is probably dead. The princesses vanished. We only began to react before ponyville began being bombed."

Rainbow dash groaned, and heled her stomach.

"Careful Rainbow, your still very weak." said Applejack.

Fluttershy was in tears now, "T-This can't be happening... It can't!"

Applejack looked sadly at Fluttershy, and began tearing up too. "Ah wish it weren't... Ah've been awake in this here cell for days now. They only let us give yah slight medical attention before keeping ya'll over there... Mah brother was here to... But they took him."

Fluttershy dreaded to ask, "W-Were?"

Pinkie answered "The room with the knives and machines." before she began crying, "They took me there to, but they said they were out of something, so they just left this on me."

Pinkie lifted her mechanical arm, and teared up more, "They didn't even bother to knock me out, or give me anything. They just drilled it on!"

Suddenly, the door opened, and a strange machine entered. It looked like clay, but was moving on it's own and was shaped like a golem of sorts. It was pushing a cart filled with small amounts of food. Then with haste it took each tray and sent it into each of their cells.

Fluttershy wiped her tears, and asked "P-Pease let us go s-s-sir. W-We just want to..."

The Clayman groaned, and ignored her as it slide a tray of food into her cell. Fluttershy just cried more, and felt her head as it walked away ignoring her.

"Those bastard don't say anything. They just listen to their king and destroy homes." said Rainbow as she glared at the Clayman leaving.

Applejack picked up her tray and walked over to Rarity. "Come on sugarcube, they gave us some food, yah need to eat."

Rarity opened her eyes and groaned, she really didn't looked well. Appeljack helped her sit and and set the tray infront of her.

"Just eat, yah need it." said Applejack.

"D-Did, did they say anything of my s-sister yet?" asked Rarity in a quavering voice.

Applejack sighed, "Not yet. But ahm sure she's fine. They want to test on the stronger ones, I doubt they'd bother with some fillies. Fluttershy woke up though."

"Fluttershy?" asked Rarity, "How nice... I was w-worried about her."

"Ahm more worried about you at the time being," replied Applejack, "your wounds aren't healing well, yah need to try and get as much food in yah as possible."

"But I'm not hungry right now..." responded Rarity as she laid her head down.

Pinkie looked over with a worrying eye, "Come on Rarity, listen to Applejack, please don't just give up."

Fluttershy tried to wipe away her tears as she ate to processed salad she received, but tears kept falling into her food. She still just wanted to believe this was a nightmare, and to just wake up.

Rarity replied to Pinkie "Why should I? I-It's all gone. Were not getting out, unless we are made into on of, them.. I'd much rather not be one..."

Applejack looked at Rarity sternly, "Don't talk like that girl, we'll figure something out. Yah just need to get better so we can get out."

Fluttershy set down the tray, and asked "Who would do this?!"

Suddenly, the door opened again, and multiple men wearing pig masks walked in. They weren't ponies, they were something else, and had hands like monkeys. Leading the group of six pink uniformed ones, was a green uniform one.

"Alright, were ready for another subject! Now which one should we chose?" asked the grean one as if this was a test for the others.

"Why don't y'all just leave?! and stick those fancy weapons of your up your asses!" said Applejack furiously.

The groups just laughed and snorted, as Rainbow Dash said "How can you live with yourselves?! Destroying everything we had? Locking use in these cells! Cutting animals and ponies into pieces and reworking them together! What could be so wrong with your sick minds?!"

"We get ALL of our orders from King Porky himself!" said one of the pink suited pigmasks.

"Your not supposed to tell them anything!" scolded the green one.

"Well, I say we take this yellow one, she seams pretty fine." said a pink pigmask as he tapped on the cell Fluttershy was in.

Fluttershy just pressed against the wall in fear, "P-Please leave us alone!"

The green suited one laughed "It appears this one has finally come out of her coma. Other than the head injury she is pretty healthy.

"DON'T THINK ABOUT IT!" yelled Rainbow Dash.

"You just leave Fluttershy alone you bullies!" yelled Pinkie Pie.

The group of pigmasks just laughed again, and the green one said "I just love how you all act like you can do anything about it. We are in control now, deal with it!" He then turned to Fluttershy, "Open this cell, were taking the yellow one."
