In The Name Of Science

For fear comes in many sizes

Death may come collect his prizes

When we are brave and they are not

They are rewarded for the work

And for us they leave to rot

For when we are brave and they are not

We will grow evil

And then we shall rot

In this hell they left us in

We shall have the last laugh

May God bless your soul

And may he forgive me for my sin...

"Wake up, wake up! Oh, this is so exiting!" A booming voice startled the sleeping human, causing him to stir. He opened one eye but quickly shut it closed  as a bright light blinded his vision. Carefully he started to probe the floor with his hands. The floor was cold and hard with a smooth surface. Failing to find what he was looking for, he sat back down.

"Were am I?" He asked in a croaky voice.

"Why, your in my laboratory human," The voice boomed again, "oops, sorry." It said. After several clicks the mysterious person spoke in a softer voice. "Your in my laboratory silly." Oh how exiting, I've finally caught one of you creatures." Female. The voice was female. The human tried to open his eyes again, this time with more success. After the blinding light cleared away, he could tell he was in a sparkling white room. Chains protruded from the walls and attached to his wrists. In front of him was a large, green screen. With closer inspection he found that the wall screen was moving, sort of like an aurora.

"Can I ask you some questions?" she asked.

"What do you wan-"

"What is your name?" she interrupted.

After a moments silence he spoke up, "Daniel," he said flatly.

"Age?

"Twenty one."

"Height?"

"6'2"

"Birth date?"

"1982, what do these questions have to do with anything?"

"Well...with the experiments of course." She said in a matter-of-factly tone. More scribbling came from behind the screen. "Alright lets see here...fur color is........um...dark brown. Small amounts of fur, blue eyes, strength....," She took a quick scan of Daniels body, "....muscular, sex, male." Daniel heard the click of a pen. "Ooooookkkkk that seems to sum everything up. Now if you'll just excuse me for a...."

"I need to go home." He interrupted.  "Now."

"B-but I haven't even begun to start my study's yet, a-and I have a friend that would like to meet you and, and...."

"I need to go home now dammit! I have a wife and kids you motherfucker!" Daniel began to scream in rage, sending chills through the woman. He began to pull on the chains attached to the walls. The spots on the wall where the chains were attached began to crack and break apart. Just as soon as the chains were about to break, an electric shock ran through Daniels body, causing him to jerk back in pain. "RAAAAAAGGHHH!!!!" He screamed. Again and again the woman sent the electricity through the human until he began to settle back on the ground. Suddenly he fell silent.

With another quick note, the woman began to pack her stuff. "Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Twilights going to love this.!

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Uuugghhh" Twilight groaned. Throwing her covers into the air, she began to trot down stairs.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"I'm coming!" she called, still descending her staircase. She flicked on every candle with a simple fire spell as she reached the end of the stairs. As she reached the door, she began to unlock every bolt from the door. CLING CLANK SHLICK CLACK CLINK. "Hel-Lyra!? What are you doing here its...uhhh well its almost four in the morning!"

"TWILIGHT COME TO MY HOUSE NOW!" Lyra screamed, grasping Twilight in a magical aurora.

"What are doing?! Put me down this instant Lyra! she screamed, trying to fight against the magical grasp." The cold night air struck Twilight as she was pulled outside her warm tree house.

"This is important twi, I think I made a scientific breakthrough! she exclaimed with a hoof in the air. "Oh twilight your going to love this." After a few minutes of walking and, well, floating, Lyras small house came into view. Lyras house was a descent size, made of clay and hay just like the many other houses in Ponyville. When the pair reached the front porch Lyra lifted a key out of her saddle bag and placed it inside the lock. With a quick clink, the door opened to reveal the house's contents. A grey, stained couch sat in front of a small T.V. that rested on two brick that were stacked on top of each other. But the what caught Twilights eye the most was the large, square hole in the middle of the living room.

"Can you let me down now?"

"Oh sure Twilight," Lyra happily replied, letting her hit the ground face first. "Oh my I'm so sorry!'

"Its ok," she said, rubbing her nose,"now what do you want to show me?"

"Just walk inside and I will." Twilight stood up and began to walk inside the strange mares house. Twilights nose crumpled up at the smell of alcohol.

"So..uh you aren't going to murder me or anything are you?" Lyra turned and locked the door.

"Murder you? Hehe come on Twilight you know I wont do that. Now then, come with me." she motioned her over with a hoof. Lyra lead Twilight towards the hole in the center of the room. With closer inspection she found there were stairs leading down the hole. Lyra nudged the nervous pony with the tip of her horn. Gulping, Twilight  began to descend down the stairs.

The stairs were made from a cold metal. That of which Twilight could not remember. The sides of the wall was made of a soft, chrome colored material. Twilight took a step, causing a long screech. "Strange for metal stairs." Twilight thought to herself. Each step creaked or screeched under the two unicorns weight as they made their way down the long, underground hallway.

Daniel slowly opened his eyes. His chest ached with pain from the electricity the strange woman produced through the screen. "Hello!?" he called, not sure if he wanted an answer or not. After two minutes passed he began to try and stand up, but to no avail. He looked at where his chains were attached to the wall. Several cracks were indented in the wall. Daniel thought back at when he had tried to break loose and almost succeeded. Gaining what was left of his strength, he began to pull down on the chains. "Come on, come on!" he yelled, "dammit." After many failed attempts he let his arms go limp and hit the floor.

The sound of foot steps came from beyond the screen. Panicking, Daniel looked frantically around for a way out, again to no avail. "Shit, shit, shit, shiiiittt." Daniel grew quite as he heard the familiar voice of the strange women.

"I found it out in the- oh good he is awake." she said....to someone else. Who else was there? How many people are involved with this kidnapping?

"By Celestia's beard, you really did find one Lyra!" Another female?

"Hello?!" He yelled.

"Oh, he's communicating? Lyra put down your spell."

"Okey doki." As they spoke the magical screen began to falter, revealing two small figures. As his vision cleared, what he saw left him dumbstruck.

"Hello human, I am Twilight Sparkle and this is Lyra Heartstrings."
