My head was pounding as I slowly sat up. "what damn test did they put my body through this time?" I muttered out of anger. I soon found that my bed didn't feel right under me as I rubbed my eyes. It was comfy and went down as I moved my weight... the beds at the lab were all hard and only gave the smallest of weight movement. I moved my hands and looked around in confusion. I was in a dark-colored room with the colors being dark purple, black, and dark blue.

I looked to my right and saw a door that leads to a balcony. I could just barely see the night sky as I could see towers. Where the hell was I?

Did they try to see if my powers could withstand a mind wipe serum again? OK, lets see...

Name Benjamin Goyle

Age 19

Powers, psychic as well as telekinesis

Family, brother, sister, mother, and father.

I guess they didn't do anything to me. Then once again... how the hell did I end up here? I swung my legs to the right and winced when I saw bandages on my legs. Was I wounded in my sleep? Maybe the lab got infiltrated by the Russians again and I was shot in the leg during a surgery. I slowly stood to my feet in a small amount of pain as I walked over to the door. I opened it... saw a pony turn its head towards me... saw the armor... then the spear...

and then proceeded to shut the door in his own damn face... I spun around and held the door closed as I heard yelling from the other side of the door. OK, Benjamin, you did not just see a pony wearing silver armor and holding a weapon while at the same time standing at attention in a hallway...

I'm in hell, aren't I?

The door began to be pushed against me as I winced from my leg helping hold back the door. I tried to think of my psychic powers to help me here but the pain kept on distracting me from using them. I noticed a dresser to my right as I began to slowly inch it towards me with the limited use of my powers that I held. Soon it was close enough that I rolled forwards after one hit and spun to my right. My hand lighting up a soft green as the dresser lit up in the same color glow and quickly moved into where I once was. I smiled as I got to my feet.

That was until the hitting suddenly became more erratic and looked to be stronger. I frowned as I quickly began to look throughout the room in hopes of finding a way out or at least finding a spot I could hide. Finding none besides a fall to my death I slowly looked back to the door as a small crack appeared on the door before a few seconds later it got bigger. I eased into a stance as my entire body lit up with my psychic energy.

I stayed like that for a minute before the door exploded and my eyes slowed down the shards as they flew towards me. Snapping my fingers the shards of wood gathered around me before I waved my hand at the door... just as two of the ponies leaped over the now fallen dresser. Their eyes quickly widened as they were caught in the air as the shards of wood hit them. Sending them falling to the floor to my left and right as the wood got in their muscles and joints.

I heard more running before my senses yelled for me to duck and duck I did... as the balcony behind me then exploded in a wave of red. My eyes widened as I looked to find a pony with a horn on its head. I moved to the left to avoid another projectile that flew from its horn as I waved my arm at him. He glowed a soft green before he came flying at me. I proceeded to glare into his eyes as he paled... and by that I mean his fur started to turn white physically and I could see it happen to. I then proceeded to thrust my open palm towards the ceiling as his head broke through it and he got stuck up there. I smiled as I lowered my arm and then wiped them off as I mentally said all was done...

that is until I looked at the door to find it swarmed with even more ponies. Soon my eyes narrowed as the glow on my body started to turn darker in color... "what is going on here?!" the guards all stood at attention as a larger pony walked into the room. This one was a pure black and seemed to wear light blue armor... although this one had wings and a horn. " I see our guest is awake." she snarled out in annoyance.

"I'm sorry my lady..." the guard closest to me bowed. "before we could subdue him he had already barricaded the door and was extremely versatile with the powers you warned us about."

"that is no excuse!" all the guards began to pale as the one that was talking flinched. "you were to only alert me and my sister once you knew he had awoken! Or were you ordered differently Major?!"

"my lady I-"

"are you attempting to make an excuse?!" she yelled once more with even more rage.

"no my lady!" he yelled as if pleading.

"you better not be Major!" everyone then remained quiet as the larger pony took a few breaths. "leave us..."

"yes, my lady..." he pony whispered in defeat as they quickly pulled their buddy out of the ceiling and dragged the two shard ridden ponies before they all left the room.

"I apologize for my guard's behavior." she then stated in a monotone voice. "allow me to introduce myself... I am Co Empress Nightmare Moon. I rule alongside with my sister Co Empress Eclipse."

"Benjamin Goyle..." I simply stated. "where the hell am I, Empress?" I mocked her title as she remained standing where she was. No emotion coming across her face.

"I will forgive your mockery just this once Benjamin Goyle..." her eyes narrowed. "you are currently in the land of Night or better yet the Realm of Night. You were rescued from a Laboratory made by my sisters and I's counterparts."

"rescued? No, they were just studying mine and my families powers in case more of us popped up and tried to destroy the world." I said shaking my head at the thought of them doing something against of what they promised us from the contract we read and signed.

"then why did they not allow you to visit your family?" she began to walk around me as I followed her with my eyes. "why did they keep you contained?" she was now to my direct left. "why did they test you everyday and did surgery on you?" now directly behind me. "why did they constantly take your blood?" to my right. "and why did they put you up against your own kind?"

"they put me up against those who had powers themselves and attempted to overthrow the government!" I snarled out. "only the weaker ones, unfortunately, were able to be captured!"

"they why is it their records show signs of experimentation? The very ones you were up against showed small signs of them having the same powers of your family although on a greatly weaker scale? Each one had combat training which varied from soldier to soldier!" I simply looked down as I began to process what I've just been told. "face it Benjamin Goyle... you and your family were fools to think you could trust your own kind. Your species have always wanted power for themselves and would do anything to get it."

"not true!" I roared in anger as she stood unflinchingly. "not all humans are like that!"

"oh?" she raised an eyebrow. "then you are saying that most of them are then?" I froze. "are you now realizing it Benjamin Goyle?"

"no... they just wanted to be able to fight against more powerful mutants and the ones who only want bloodshed. They didn't want anything else! They wanted ways to combat them!" I grit my teeth.

"by creating their own mutants!" she stomped her hoof as cracks appeared in the floor as I glared at her. "face it Benjamin Goyle! Just bucking face it! You were nothing but a means to an end!" she took a step towards me as I looked down.

"shut up..." I whispered.

"an experiment!" another step towards me.

"shut up..." I said a little bit louder.

"a guinea pig!" I could now see her hooves.

"shut up," I said in a normal voice as the glow on my body returned.

"and simply just dead weight to them all! They cared nothing for you except to better themselves!" I threw my head up as my face twisted into rage.

"shut the fuck up!" the very floor and ceiling gained cracks as the furniture around us was pushed away. She remained standing unyielding as I stared at her in utter rage. "shut the fucking hell up right now!"

"or what..." she insinuated as I clenched my right fist.

"Nightmare Moon!" I slowly turned my head towards the doorway to find another pony glaring daggers at the pony who had enraged me so. " I thought we had agreed upon not angering him!" she approached us at a slow and calm walk. Her mane and tail were white fire as I could feel the heat from 10 feet away and it only got hotter as she got closer and closer.

"plans change sister..." her sister responded in a flat tone. "he needed a stern talking to... not a kind telling." she spits out with venom in her tone. The new pony only glared before the heat died down and she turned her attention to me.

"I apologize about my sister. She seems to think that whatever she does is right regardless!" she threw another glare. "at the fact it is against what we agreed upon!"

"I just want to know... what the hell is going on... and where the hell I fucking am..." I simply said with anger still in my voice.

"I have alright told you where you are Benjamin Goyle." the first pony said with annoyance in her tone.

"well, I don't fucking believe you! For all I know I could still be in the labs under the influence of a combination of morphine and laughing gas!" I snarled out as now she looked like she was going to attack me.

"enough with this bickering!" the second pony yelled out.

"yes, sister..." the first whispered out as I could feel a small amount of fear come from her.

"now then! Benjamin Goyle... what my younger sister has told you is true. You are currently in our own realm after we saved you from our counterparts."

"counterparts? As far as I know, none of the eggheads were ponies."

"that's because the ones you used to know were replaced as your own memories were replaced so you would not notice anything. Haven't you noticed anything different from their behavior?" I began to think back to my time at the lab. Now that I think about it some of the scientists had these weird habits such as almost all of them were vegetarian besides a select few. Also, the fact quite a few of them had different colors of hair. My head hurt just from thinking about them. "maybe this would help." before I could stop her, her horn glowed before she touched my head. Pain erupted around my entire skull as I held it. I took a few steps back as the pain in my leg could not even compare with the pain in my head at the moment. Soon I tripped as I fell onto my back on the back I had gotten out of.

Images filled my head...

ponies broke into the facility... killing the scientists... finding me and my family all together... they separated us and then walked into the room... a bit white pony that looked to be the opposite of the one who touched her horn to my head walked into the room... she put her horn to my head before my own memories came into play... only this time all of the scientists were ponies and every so often I saw the white pony standing in the glass before her horn lit up again but I blacked out again and woke up the next day as if I never saw her... this time though there were fewer ponies and more humans but with different colored hair.

This continued for so long until all I saw were humans with weird habits. The tests remained the same but new ones were added. More of my blood was taken and I fought more often. I gasped as my eyes flew open from the shock. I sat up on the bed as sweat soaked my shirt. I held my head in my right hand as I heard her talk. "you were under her control for 1 year... the humans only had you for 2... she was using your blood to give powers to the Pegasus and earth ponies under her command."

"if I didn't see it..." a thought came to my head. "if you could unlock my memories..." I glared at the two ponies. "what's to say you didn't just create fake ones?"

"would an oath prove that we didn't?"

"yeah sure whatever..."

"I, Co Empress Eclipse, swear a magical oath that I have not lied to the human, Benjamin Goyle, about what has been truly happening in his life." her horn began to spark before the sparks disappeared. Her horn lit up again as an object in the room was lifted with the same glow on her horn around it.

"what was that supposed to do?" the younger sister scowled.

"if she had lied to you when taking the oath her magic would have been lost forever and she would have faded from existence." she then stated.

"do you believe me now Benjamin Goyle? That you have been tricked your entire life?"

"for now... I do..." she gave a small smile. "one question though... wheres my family?" her eyes then visibly saddened.

"Benjamin Goyle... we have a lot to talk about, about what has transpired."
