Sorry it took me so long to upload this, I hadn't had time to edit it. So here is chapter 4. It's short... but still a chapter. I don't own My Little Pony or The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
Celestia stood in the underground cellar and watched as two engineers and four scientist poked around on a ring of silver. She often glanced into the cell against the wall where another onlooker watched them. "You'll never get away with this." The prisoner grumbled.
"Oh but I almost have." Celestia said simply. "Once you're under my control and that other experiment is rid of my plan will be complete." Celestia almost jumped when a guard entered the room.
"Princess Celestia." He bowed. "A17 wishes to see you."
"Is it here?" She asked.
"Yes my princess, he is waiting in the courtyard, hidden of course." Celestia frowned.
"Very well, bring it in." She said shooing the guard away. "Oh yes, and make sure no one sees you." The guard nodded and trotted out of the room.
"It is finished, Celestia." The lead engineer said bowing his head.
"Perfect." She said smiling down at the mechanism. "Guards take them away." She said and two muscular guards escorted the kidnapped scientists and engineers to their cells. "Now let's get to this, shall we?" She said picking up the ring.
The prisoner back to the wall of the cell. "Keep that thing away from me." He threatened but Celestia used her magic to snap the collar around its neck. It let out a cry of pain before falling to his knees. "You'll pay for this." He hissed.
"You'll see things thru my eyes in a day or so." She said turning away from the cell. The secret room door was opened and the guard slipped in with the creature that had attacked Vinyl and Glowstick.
"Hello A17." She said as it bowed to her. "I hope you have brought me good news, I need it right now." She said with a stressed sigh.
"My princess." The creature said standing. "I have good news and bad news."
"Very well, tell me the good news." She said.
"I have found the escaped experiment and have wounded it badly; I should be able to do away with it in two days maximum."
"Nergal how could you do that to your own son, mon!?" The prisoner cried from behind bars.
"My son…" Nergal's voice trailed off and his eyes became distant.
"Pay attention!" Celestia scolded, stomping her hoof. Nergal shook his head.
"I am sorry master." He said as if nothing had happened.
"Now the bad news?" Celestia asked impatiently.
"The bad news is that a few ponies seem to have found out about A18." He said.
"We can take care of that, can't we Grim?" Celestia asked smiling back at him. Nergal frowned and Grim suspected he was perhaps jealous.
"But my Princess, I can take care of the ponies too." Nergal said.
"That won't be needed." Celestia said. "I will need to test my new minion whenever the process is over with." She said walking to the door. "Come on A17, I'll escort you out." She said and Nergal followed her. Before he walked out he shot a poisonous glare at Grim and then exit with Celestia.
"I have to do something about this before Nergal does something he regrets." Grim said to himself as he looked around the cell. He stopped. He had the perfect idea.
The next morning Glowstick, Remix, Vinyl and Junior all sat at Vinyl's kitchen table. None of them had said a word to each and avoided direct eye contact as much as possible. Finally Glowstick looked at Junior who looked back at him. "What's going on?" Glowstick asked. "I want to know everything you know to maximum detail." Junior hesitated but nodded.
"Well," He began, "I can't really remember how we were captured I just remember waking up in a cell with my dad, Nergal and a friend, Grim. We were there for a couple days before a few scientists took me away. I was used as a guinea pig to test this prototype." He said taking hold of the metal color. "I was kept separate from my dad for a week or so before I was loaded into a divided carriage with my dad. I tried to talk to him but he just acted different. He seemed brainwashed or something."
He paused and looked down at the table. "The carriage stopped later on and the guards let my dad out but he turned on the guards and attacked the carriage. Then I realized he was trying to attack me. I was able to escape but he scratched my arm and that's how I got this. I hid behind Vinyl's house and that's how she found me." He finished.
"So you don't know who was behind this?" Remix asked.
"I'm not really sure." He answered. "But there was this one girl who acted like she was in charge."
"What did she look like?" Glowstick asked.
"I couldn't get a good look at her. But she was tall. Taller than any of you and I think she was wearing a crown."
"Queen Chrysalis?" Vinyl thought out loud.
"Who knows?" Glowstick added. "There are about ten thousand princesses in Equestria."
"I think you might be exaggerating a bit." Vinyl said. Glowstick shrugged and leaned back in his chair. Remix smiled.
"Something bad is obviously going to happen and if we are the only ponies that know then we need to stop this from happening which means we have some investigating to do." Remix said. Glowstick shook his head.
"We can't just go into the palace and start asking questions about aliens and metal necklaces." Glowstick said. "Plus if that thing saw us with his son then I have a feeling the pony behind this already knows that we know about them."
"So then what are we going to do?" Vinyl asked.
"First we must do our night job. Riptie has another rave scheduled and I have a feeling that he can get us into the palace as DJs for a party."
"Sounds like a good idea." Vinyl said excitedly.
