Chapter 3. The caged

It had been a month since Harry had been living inside the LTF base and he loved every minute of it he had Scooterloo for a friend to have fun with and cause some chaos and then there was Twilight who quickly became like a mother to the child as she taught him what she could along with making sure he didn't get into any trouble but today Harry was looking deeper into the base and walking around Harry found a locked door and looking around he quickly used the level 5 clearance card that he had gotten from Twilight and instantly the door opened and Harry stared at what was on the other side it was a very large room with sunlight there was honest to god sunlight in here and walking forward as he stepped on yo the dirt ground and stepped in grass for the first time in months Harry smiled as he looked around the large room it had several trees all of them apple and as he walked deeper into the forest like paradise he didn't notice the green glowing eyes watching him as he passed a tree then with a thump the tree shook causing Harry to jump as with a uncanny precision a apple landed in his hand and looking at the apple in surprise Harry looked around trying to see what or who had caused the tree to shake

"You know your a cute little tik go ahead and eat up I don't mind" someone said and surprised Harry looked up where the voice came from and stared the figure looked the most human and most nonhuman in the building she had a human like stature but she had a pony muzzle a short one and had the ears and tail along with two hooves but what really caused Harry to stare was the tree arms and hooves along with the wooden mask that had two glowing green eyes watching from them

"What never seen a half pony half Timber wolf before" she said smirking as she looked down at him and it was then that Harry realized what she was wearing it was one of those country girl teen rock looks with the short shirt and short shorts but what's not read the dog collar around her neck

"Huh hey I'm Harry" Harry said shyly backing up a bit as the wolf,pony,human girl jumped down and landed in front of him

"Well nice to met you Harry I'm AppleTimber or rather LTF-081 to those egghead scientists" AppleTimber said and Harry smirked

"You have a pretty room " Harry said looking around

"It's just AppleTimber munchkin and I have to admit the room is nice but honestly I'd rather be up above on the actual dirt and sun" Apple Timber said before she clicked something on a wall and suddenly the sunlight vanished to show a normal roof with one light source that was in the middle of the room which was mostly circled

"Huh" Harry said sadly looking around now with sadness it was just a fake outside patch but soon Harry shrugged

"Still pretty cool all my room has is white walls and some toys" Harry said as AppleTimber frowned realizing something

"So what's a kid like you doing in the LTF base" AppleTimber asked and like with Twilight and Scooterloo Harry told his little story of how his family had left him with the SCP stating that he was a freak and had strange powers then of how the LTF once they heard quickly got him into their hooves to make sure that the SCP didn't do anything drastic with the young life and by the end both Harry and AppleTimber was seating underneath the tree as the fake sun shines down on them

"Hmm remind me to rip your uncle and aunt to shreds when I get the chance" AppleTimber said hugging Harry as her more wolf side took over more wanting to protect this pup hmm pup

"Well then little Pup you can be sure I'll watch your back along with Twilight" AppleTimber said but then she noticed that the little pup had fallen asleep in her arms and smirking she leaned back into the tree and waited as soon enough her usual visitor came around

"You know he's a okay kid I hope you guys don't mind me holding on to him from time to time" AppleTimber said as her original entered the room smiling at the sight of her copy and Harry

"I think I can get Twi to agree to that" Applejack said as with some help she got Harry on her back and left to put him back in his room but not without AppleTimber rubbing the boys already messy hair

It was the next day that Harry realized that he had fallen asleep and after this he had quickly woken up and checked to make sure AppleTimber was still there and seeing her through the door asleep he left and quickly noticing that several of the others were asleep as well Harry continued walking around still wide awake as he walked past sleepy people who didn't even realize he was there then he heard a noise a screech and following the noise Harry came to a door and entered quickly as he walked down the long hall not noticing as he tripped a silent alarm that was revived by a sleepy P4 but by then he had entered the next room only to find a cramped office like room with cobwebs in several places and looking around Harry spotted a poster that surprises him mostly because a lot of the characters on the poster looked like some of the ponies he had met he quickly spotted Twilight but she was wearing a bow tie and then she spotted a pony AppleTimber and then others he didn't see any Scooterloo that is till he saw her out of the corner of his eye

"Aaaah" Harry screamed jumping back as Scooterloo jumped out of nowhere scaring him

"Scooterloo what was that for" Harry said pouting as his friend laughed on the floor her red blood colored stitches stretching from her laughter

"Oh god Harry you should have seen your face" Scooterloo said still laughing but she paused as another voice joined her

"That was funny hey there I'm Pinkybot" someone said and turning they both saw a pink pony but then Harry froze it had blood coating it and what's more had extremely sharp teeth as it laughed at them

"Huh what what are you not to be rude or anything" Harry asked as Scooterloo got back up

"I'm Pinkybot the animatronic pony and welcome to pinkeys cupcakes where family and fun come to this magical place" Pinkybot said in a recorded voice before she sighed

"But it's been soo boring here me and the girls haven't had any fun in ages" Pinkybot said

"Wait Girls" Harry asked as several different colored eyes appeared around him and Scooterloo

A couple of minutes later

Quickly as ordered a large group of soldiers rushed for the doorway to the LTF-073 area and quickly opening the door with all of their cameras on they all froze at what they saw there in front of them was Harry playing a game of tag with the animatronics and Scooterloo all of them rushing in and out of the guards room as they played laughing and having fun

"Oh boss orders" one of the soldiers asked

"record the interactions through the camera system and let them play" P4 said over the com as she herself did the same and slowly smiling she watched as Harry played with the killer animatronics and the insanity driving LTF it was surprising what this one kid was doing it made P4 wonder 'was it possible' and with this thought she looked to her right where she saw four cameras each one showing a pony each colored in blood but one that one was covered in something else as she raced around her caged area trying to get out again maybe they could never tell she never talked after what happened to her but maybe and turning back towards Harry's camera she smiled as she saw the small group seating in a circle talking and having fun

"Yes maybe" Twilight said not noticing as Discord left the room smiling finally his little LTFs were getting the chance they deserved know all he needed was to wait as he watched personally has Harry brought together this mismatched family of insanity as he showed these killers these being that had known nothing but death for the entirety of their lives as he showed them love and friendship
