After Twilight,her friends and the princesses got to the library, they all sat on the ground. Twilight spoke:
And now, Princess Celestia, I think there is something you would like to tell?
Yes, Twilight.It is a story. It was a thousand years ago. In Canterlot we knew, that we haven't found all, that is to find in Equestria. Our science consisted in, just like now, the trains and the cranes. Just that. All royal scientists tried very hard to find something new. But they couldn't , they all got back from where they started. They all resigned, after they understood, that they are useless. Than he came...
Than who came? - asked Rainbow Dash
Hase, doctor of Science. He was really a genius. He invented so many things, that could of been useful today.
But why isn't any of these things here? - asked Twilight. She was confused.
One month after this story Luna turned to Nightmare Moon and when she entered the Warehouse, where we kept all these things, while they were tested, and destroyed all of them with her dark magic.
OK. Continue, please.
He was my greatest scientist ever. Only 1% of my other scientists actually understood his inventions and blamed theirselves for not coming up with this earlier. Some of his greatest inventions were the airplane, this translocator and many others.
Excuse me, princess, but what is an airplane? - Rarity asked.
An airplane is a mashine, that flies. It can also carry ponies. It travels with 20 times the speed of our fastest trains.
Wow, that is really fast!
Yes. His inventions were very good. Some ponies even called him "The Prince of Progress". That was before his greatest invention. And after it, he became much, much popular.
And what was that invention?
The size particles. They are very small elementary particles, that controll the size of the things. When he learnt to controll him, he could shrink or grow in size. But then the accident...
An incident? What kind of incident?- Twilight asked with worried voice.
An incident, that only I am responsible of. I knew, that alicorns are usually immortal, but not invincible. That's why I asked Hase to create a Invincibility Potion. He said, that he needed my DNA.
Aaah, what? - asked the confused Rainbow Dash.
DNA. It builds everything alive, it is the key to the life, unique for every diffrent living thing. He took the order. Manipulating the DNA, which he got from my hair, he invented the formula. As soon as it was ready, he gave it to me. I wanted to test it. I drank it all. When a nearby Guard stabbed me with his spear, after he got it out, the wound healed in seconds.
Thank you, Hase. Your formula really works!
It was a pleasure for me, Princess!- answered he, as always glad, that he helped the science.
But this brought his attention too close to the genetic. He started to wonder. If the DNA hold the key to invincibility, than it may also bring eternal life, magic sklls and wings to everypony! Nopony would ever die! Nopony would ever have to do hard work by his hooves! Nopony would longer need to stay on the ground, but instead fly in the skies! Hase had always dreamed of such things, because he was an earth pony and had none of these advantages. And with the combined powers of Magic and Science, he could find all the secrets of the universe!
He started to study my DNA closer. He improved his formula, so it could last forever! He modified it, so it could give the one, who drank it, eternal life, horn and wings. Than he drank it and came to me. I was horiffied. To be an alicorn, that was the gift of the gods, not a gift for everypony. I said that to him. He refused to believe, that I want my peasants to die and suffer. I tried to tell him, that everypony should stay the way they are born. When he refused to trink the antidote once more, I had no choice but to put the Curse of the Eternal Bands upon him. That is a very hard spel, but very efficient. It immeadietly removes all kind of wings and horns from the cursed and prevents them from appearing for 24 hours. He was sad. He said, that I am a monster, and ran back to his laboratory.
Since then, things started to change. It was almost like he wasn't the same pony anymore. He knew, that his potion is now useless. He quit. Since then his only wish was to get me of the throne. He started using his potential for really bad things. He caught several peaceful citizen and with his mind control gadgets turned them to slaves. After that, he invented a way to be an alicorn. Not with genetic, but with mechanic. He invented a special suit for him and his slaves. It had 2 mechanical wings and a mechanical horn, which was conected to the brain with some kind of sensors. The gang was named " The Eternal Army" . It started assaulting my castle. It was almost 6 months before he was finally caught. He was, of course, guilty, and they send him to jail.
Wait, Princess, that still doesn't explain why he is here and now. - Twilight spoke confused.
In the prison he didn't waste his time. He invented some kind of rocket and escaped the jail. The rocket was last seen to fall in the Everfree forest.
And why do you think he is still alive?
One of his nytrogene detectors he built for us detected a cryogenic sistem inside the rocket. It slows the metabolism very much and a pony can hibernate in there for 1000 years. And tomorrow they will be exatcly 1000 years since the escape.
Twilight was horrified.
- And is this all?
Luna looked at Celestia. Her eyes begged her sister to say all the truth. But Celestia decided to ignore them.
- Yes, that's all. And now get a good night sleep, because tomorrow will be a tough day.
