An earth pony stood atop a metal balcony which emerged from the side of a mountain far, far, far away from Ponyville, and the rest of Equestria too. He wore a suit that completely obscured his form. It consisted of a black tuxedo with a neon yellow ascot hanging from around his neck. He wore a helmet that resembled a Pembridge styled Greathelm, though it had no holes for his eyes. Instead, it had a neon yellow light that ran in a cross shape from his forehead to his jaw.
The pony overlooked a large spruce forest at the bottom mountain, it stretched on for miles and miles over hills and flat country. It was rather beautiful, but he was not scanning the terrain, rather he was scanning the sky, looking for someone. Every few minutes he would pull out a pocket watch glance down it and hissed. He was late. By several minutes in fact.
He gave a sigh of annoyance when a shadow blanketed the balcony. Turning upwards he saw as a cloud in the shape of a pegasus start to descend down to meet him.
"You are late, Tornado." The pony said, his voice was atypical of what one would expect of mad scientists. For he did not have a german accent. On top of that, he had a very metallic, synthetic tone to his voice.
"Sorry." The cloud pegasus mumbled as he dropped to the ground. The clouds all disappeared at once, revealing a pegasus with blue fur, and messy black hair with yellow tips. A yellow lightning bolt sigil sat on his face. His cutie mark was that of a pegasus made of clouds shooting lightning out of a hoof.
"It matters not. Come. We have business to attend to." The Earth Pony said as he turned face and walked towards a metal door built into the side of the mountain. It opened like a submarine bulkhead, allowing both of them in.
"How went the fight?" The Earth Pony asked as he traveled down a metal hallway lit by dim neon purple lights.
"That arrogant fucker kicked my ass, how do you think it went?" Tornado hissed.
"Language, please. There are children in this facility." The Earth Pony said darkly as they entered through another door. They entered a new room. Giant glass tubes filled the room from end to end. Each one had a pony suspended in transparent liquid, breathing apparatus were attached to their mouths and noses.
The ponies looked to be between the ages of six and sixteen, but the really disturbing part was that they all looked to be the exact same pony. They were dark grey earth ponies with slicked-back yellow hair and a cutie mark consisting of a dna strand.
The armored Earth Pony walked up to one of the pods, gently stroking a hoof over the glass. "Magnificent aren't they? My very own children," he said with a laugh.
"Yeah yeah sure... uh... mind if I ask why in Celestia's name-" Torando, started but was cut off.
"I would prefer it if you refrained from using that name in this laboratory. The names of deities are bad luck when you are committing crimes against nature." The Earth Pony turned away from his pod and started approaching him.
Tornado growled. "Whatever. Do you mind telling me why I was sent up against that holier than thou scumbag in the first place?"
"It was to serve as an experiment to reinforce my hypothesis." The Earth Pony said stopping in front of him. "That being that Derek was indeed undefeatable by any one individual."
Tornado suddenly snarled, lightning crackling into existence suddenly around him. The Earth Pony did not flinch or show any fear. Not that Tornado could tell anyway. The mask shielded his emotions perfectly.
"You mean you sent me in to fight on my own, just to test something that you already know?" Tornado hissed. The Earth Pony silenced him with a raised hoof.
"Quiet. You are not angry. You know that I am the only thing alive who really stands a chance to defeat Derek don't you?" The Earth Pony said, turning around and walking past the rest of his tubes. Tornado snarled. Unfortunately, he was right. The pegasus started following after him.
"Now then," He said as he entered a new room, this time with a table and a corkboard. More doors sat on the walls of the room, which led further into the facility. "Let us discuss our plans."
"Uh huh..." Tornado said, shrugging and taking a seat. "You uhhh... know I never got your name..."
"Epoxy." The Earth Pony said. "As in glue, which is what I plan to turn Derek into when I am done with him."
Epoxy chuckled as he sat down. "Now then. Do you know why I hired you in the first place?"
Tornado shrugged. "Should I care? Cash is cash." Tornado sat back in his chair, expecting a long-winded explanation.
Epoxy merely chuckled, sitting up. "Cute, but you should. My plans will revolutionize this world."
Epoxy turned to the corkboard and smirked. It was covered in pictures of Derek and a small deer.
"Derek is a human. His species is much, much more scientifically advanced than us. Who knows what knowledge is stored in his head. Unfortunately, as much of a scientist I pride myself to be, my knowledge stems to the science of the genetic variety. But think of what rests inside the brain of a human? What knowledges of engineering, biology, physics, astronomy and more would you suppose rests inside of the head of a human?" Epoxy said as he approached the painting of Derek.
Tornado cringed when, with a horrible sound, a blade made of bone emerged from Epoxy's wrist, the scientist stabbing it violently into a picture of Derek.
"What comes next then?" Tornado asked standing up. "Not like we can actually beat him enough to drag him here and get that information out..."
Epoxy laughed in response.
"Oh, poor naive pegasus. You forget." Epoxy dragged his blade across the corkboard, cutting a deep, horizontal ravine through the cork. Eventually, he arrived at the picture of Johan which he circled.
"Derek is not the only human in Equestria."
Fuck all kinds of ducks
Did everybody say happy birthday to Deergenerate

Could have been a lie ya know XD
I'm transforming Johan until God look at picture to understandcdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/011/233/770/large/amandine-flahaut-deer-god-final.jpg?1528487443

Nice picture

Thanks
Oh boy. Even if the kidnapping plot doesn't succeed, Derek's
excusesreasons forabusingkeeping Johan nearby will be vindicated in his own mind, probably causing him to double down and go from being merely apathetic about how he feels to being both apathetic (about social situations, such as the crap he pulled with Fleur) and hostile to any complaints about restrictions that Johan has. This whole situation wouldn't have to result in conflict if Derek was a.) mindful of his friend's feelings, b.) reasonable in how he deals with Johan's vulnerability, and c.) not a freaking slaver who subjects his "friend" to poor living conditions. Unfortunately, Derek is a jerk who uses legitimate concerns as an excuse to abuse his friend and boost his own ego.Of course, I predict that Johan's captivity will be amusing to watch. I doubt he'll take his situation lying down, and I can see him using his wits to try and undermine the whole operation. Maybe while Tornado is alone, Johan could sow seeds of distrust in his mind and cause the two to come to blows. Or maybe Johan will be super spiteful and annoy his captors as much as possible. Or maybe he'll see a chance to become like the deer in his painting and freak his captors out by pulling this number:
Nice, love the quote at the end of the authors note
Johan needs a break.

Or maybe he'll collaborate as much as possible in order to get away from Derek. The best he could, actually.
oof

I think I know how it will go:
-Johan will be captured
-Johan will convince Epoxy they were just normal humans, with normal knowledge
-Johan will team up with Epoxy if he will genetically upgrade him, which would give him magic and more
- maybe they even fake Johan death after
To tell you the truth for some reason I’m allergic to deers. I know I can’t eat and not sure about touching one? Can’t recall but it’s odd that I’m allergic to Deers
im hoping from this our deer boy gets his long overdue amazing luck and either becomes allies with them while getting legit power or gets power and magic accidentily when they try catch him. either way deer boy needs a win or at least to get his own power of some sort. who knows he might become some sort of nature or life deity just from what happens next.
Let me guess...
Because gary stu effect, derek always win in the end...
At least Johan's life will get a little more interesting.
Yeeeesssss! Gary Sue deconstruction time go! Why do I feel an epic villain team up coming on? Go johan! You can do it. SCIENCE! the shit out of that gary stu mofo!
Oh great.... Now Johan is really in trouble...
10277333
I mean, if I was him and they didn't break my legs and actually came to me or just knocked me out I would work with them as long as they don't kill me or do permanent damage to me, may it be physical, mental or emotional
Eh, I'm pretty much convinced that this story is just thinly-disguised ragebait to rustle the jimmies about how poor pathetic Johan gets treated. I'm almost tempted to actually use the word simp unironically....
It sucks that Johan is about to get captured by a mad geneticist. But maybe he's about to become some kind of super-powered mutant deer because of this.
Quick question. How come Johan doesn't simply ask Derek and Twilight to simply use some kind of spell to transform him into another species or something?
Funny enough in every other fiction specially the SCP foundation when you here the word deer you hope to all the deities it isn't near you or noticed you.
10284633
What? Usually Deer are crappy in basically all fiction NGL XD.
10284639
Hmm well in the SCP wiki they are closer to eldrtich gods in terms of purpose in the shape of a deer. Ill link you the numbers and you can dig for yourself how horrifying they are.
SCP 2845 the DEER
SCP 3999 unfinished ritual
I can imagine him working at the weather factory.
Really?
