"Well now. You really think I came back here to this dump to annoy you. I just came back to return this sweet little filly. But I think this place does need a few adjustments for a pony to live here. Starting with- mmmmm." Rarity was silenced by Applejack putting a hoof on her mussle.

"Not again Rarity. Even I'm tired of hearing your complaining, and you just started." Said Applejack. Rarity flipped her mane and walked away. Meanwhile, Magic Flora was finding a few extra gems as an apology for worrying the Diamond dogs. Her horn lit up bright. She started to dig fast. Then, she came out holding tons of gems with her magic. She set them down on the ground. The pile was as big as her. Rarity rushed over to it. Her eyes were sparkling in amazment. She looked through all of them.

"Can I have a few. I still need some gems for a new order. And you seem to have a stronger spell than mine." she said. Magic Flora nodded. Rarity picked out a few gems.

"Well, its been nice to be here. But I think its time for us to go." said Twilight.

The mane six entered the library to see none other than the princess of the sun herself.

"Twilight. I got your letter. Where is this alicorn filly you speak of?" Celestia asked. Everypony glarred daggers at Twilight who was laughing nervously.

"TWILIGHT!" They shouted.

"I'm sorry. She needed to know. I just couldn't hold it in. So in the middle of the night, I sent the letter." cried Twilight. Celestia looked confused.

"Why would you want to keep a secret from me?" Celestia asked. Rarity stepped up.

"We are sorry your highness, but we promised Magic Flora we wouldn't tell." Celestia nodded, understanding the importance of a promise.

"I understand. But who is this Magic Flora? I would like to meet her." said Celestia.

"She lives with the Diamond Dogs in the badlands. Those foul creatures acually treat her nicely. She certanly melt their hearts." Rarity explained. Celestia smiled.

"Will you take me to her?" They nodded.

Badlands

Magic Flora was finding her daily gems. Suddenly, she heard hoofstepps. She started to panic. She did the only thing she could think of. She buried herself in the gems.

"This is the spot, Princess. She must be here. I know she is." Magic Flora paniced again. She ran out the pile and was about to head down a tunnle. But she felt a strong magic grip grab her. It was Celestia's magic. It started to squeeze the air out of her.

"Ahh. So you're the new alicorn. How did you become one anyway?" Celestia asked. She loosened the grip on Magic Flora.

"My mom was a Pegasus and my dad was a unicorn. But I don't understand why I'm princess of nature. I can manipulate plants. Its impossible." Magic Flora responded. Twilight's face lit up. Twilight then flashed them to her basement.

Twilight's basement

Magic Flora found herself clasped to machine connected to a bunch of other machines. Celestia and the mane six were there too.

"Hold still, Magic Flora. I'm going to do a few test to see why you're an alicorn. This shouldn't hurt one bit." Celestia held a worried look on her face.

"Twilight, are you sure this is safe?" Celestia asked.

"It's ok, Princess. Twilight did it to me before. It's fine." said Pinkie. Celestia nodded, still unsure about it.

"I already told you. My mom is a pegasus and my dad is a unicorn! LET ME GO!" shouted Magic Flora. Twilight turned on the machines. Twilight started to check all the papers and dials. Then, the machines flashed red repeating 'MALFUNCTION'. Celestia held worried look on her face again. Twilight tried to turn her machines off, but they wouldn't respond. Magic Flora felt a tingling sensation through her body, then passed out.

Magic Flora awoke in Twilight's bed. The only pony in the room was Celestia. Magic Flora rubbed her aching head.

"May I ask you a few questions?" Celestia asked. Magic Flora nodded.

"Why did you want to keep this secret?"

"Because I was afraid you would react like the last town I've been in. It was outside of Equestria. The ponies there wanted to turn me into a science experiment. They wanted to use my DNA and make themselves more powerful. I couldn't go through that again." Magic Flora answered. Celestia looked surprised. Usually ponies were so kind to other pony races.

"Magic Flora, may I look into your memories to see who were the ones who did that to you?" asked Celestia. She lit up her horn and touched Magic's head.

Celestia watched one of Magic's memories in shock. A younger Magic was running away from a mob of ponies with nets in their hoofs. They kept throwing things at her. She dodged all of them, but one pony had a lucky shot and threw a rock at one of her legs. Once she fell another pony threw a net over her. The memory faded. Celestia just watched in terror.

---

A new memory started. Magic was chained around her neck and hoofs while being suspended in midair by an unseen aura. Somepony wearing a lab coat came in. He had a brown coat and a white mane. And he was a unicorn.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll answer all my questions. And if you don't, you'll be punished until you do. Now, tell me how you became like this so we can become the same and over throw those pathetic Princesses." He demanded. Magic glared at him.

"No. I will never tell you. Not even if you try to force me. You don't deserve to know." He seemed infuriated at this. He ran at her and bucked her in the stomach. She gasped for air. Celestia watched as he did so.

"Don't you speak to me like that you brat. Your pathetic life is at our mercy. And you don't know how much we can hurt you." he hissed. Magic growled at him.

"YOU CAN'T MAKE ME TELL ANYTHING." She spat. He seemed angrier then before. He rammed his head into her skull. She shot a fire beam at him that burned his tail. He shot a beam at her horn which blocked her magic.

"Now you will see how much mercy we have." He surrounded her in a blue aura. He slowly and painfully started to remove the air from her lungs. Every time she tried to get air back inside, a powerful pain burned inside her. She finally passed out because of the lack of oxegin.
