The Lion King: Circle Of Life

 

Celestia's throne room looked like every other day in the past years. Nothing had changed here for a long time.

But even though it looked like a totally normal day, the word "normal" absolutely didn't fit in such a situation. At the moment nothing was normal in all of Equestria, nothing at all.

The little device on Celestia's chest hummed quietly, the device that kept Celestia from losing the little bit of power she had been able to keep until this day, the little bit of power that just was enough for her to move sun and moon with Luna's help.

The nature around Canterlot also didn't seem to be too different from all the other days, and indeed, the nature out there was fine as always. Neither the trees nor the birds or critters were affected by the disease that was about to end an era that had endured for... thousands? No, millions of years.

The species "pony" was about to die.

 

A breathless scientist galloped through the half-opened door to Celestia's throne room. Seeingthat he also was weakened by that disease and had to use his last bit of energy sensibly, this just had to be important.

"Princess Celestia! I... I think we were... sucessful. The ponies... in the laboratory are waking up!" Just before he reached the stairs to Celestia's throne, he fainted and fell to the ground.

Celestia took a quick look at him. He still was breathing, so she advised her guards to bring him to Canterlot Hospital. She didn't have to say anything, this wasn't the first time this had happened.

 

"Princess Celestia, we are really glad you are here. You wanted to be here once they wake up, and I think it will be the best thing if you get sure everything is alright with them."

The room Celestia had entered was filled with about a dozen of incubators, little coffins made of glass - but they had a totally different purpose. The ponies inside them were alive - they were alive.

"How long will it take them to wake up? I don't want to miss this moment at all", Celestia asked.

"It can happen any moment. Once they wake up, our computers will recognise it and tell us..."

Just in that moment a red light at one of the incubators began to blink. The pony inside, a green unicorn, started to move.

"Just when I mention it! Celestia, our first 'experiment' is awake!"

 

Where am I?

The green unicorn pony slowly opened his eyes and tried to recognise anything. He was inside a big room, a hall, and his head hurt like never before, at least he couldn't remember a moment where his head had hurt more than now. Not that he even remembered anything else...

When he stretched his legs, he hit some kind of invisible wall... Glass. He wasn't just inside a big hall, but he also was locked inside this tube of glass. Not the best situation to wake up in...

But just a second later the glass moved away, and he finally was able to really move. After such a long sleep, what was better than stretching one's legs again?

He didn't immediately notice the ponies that had appeared next to him, so he flinched when the biggest one, a pony with wings and a horn, started speaking.

"Note Sheet, don't be afraid. You're safe. We won't hurt you. My name is Celestia"

The green unicorn pony needed a while to calm down, and so a few seconds passed without one of them saying anything.

"Note Sheet... I guess that's my name... I can't remember anything. Where am I? What's all this here? Why..."

Celestia raised her hoof. "Do not worry, Note Sheet. I will explain everything shortly. There is a reasonable explaination for all your questions, I'm sure."

 

"Celestia! An other pony is waking up!"

 

 

----------------------

 

Woohoo, the RP is starting! Your first post should contain your awakening. You are allowed to control Celestia and the scientists. Remember that you can't remember anything and that you don't know anyone.

Firecracker opens his eyelids up in the tube. "Oh, what happened in here, where am I? why am I stuck in this sorta tight tube?"

Celestia walks up to his tube.

 

"Good Morning, Firecracker."

"Who are you, where am I? What happ-"

"I'm Celestia, you're in the Canterlot Hospital in a room where you and a couple of others are being born."

"Wait, why am I fully grown when I'm supposed to be a foal when I'm born...?"

"I will explain that later since that question is kinda complicated..."

 

Celestia pushed the button that released Note Sheet, Which Firecracker fell down to the floor a moment after the glass have moved away.

 

"Firecracker, I would like you to meet one of your "roommates", this is Note Sheet."

 

Firecracker tried to stand up, It was a bit difficult at first but he manged to get up after a moment. He tried walking, like trying to stand up, It was a bit difficult at first, but he managed to walk up to the same race as he is and tried to socialize. There were scientists staring at the tubes trying to see which one will wake up next.

 

"Hi, I'm Firecracker nice to meet ya" Firecracker said nervously.

Flame slowly opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings." Why am I... W-Where am I ?" He thought, looking for some way out of the tube he was encased in. Then one of the scientists trotted over and pushed a button next to the tube where Flame lay.

"What am I doing here... Who are you ?... Who am I ?" He said, Standing up but almost immediately falling to the floor.

"Take it easy there. Your name is Flame Dancer. I am Celestia. I shall explain everything once everypony is awake." Said Celestia, helping Flame to his hooves.

"O-Ok." Flame said, Looking around the room at two other ponies who seemed to have only just awoken.

[With A Bang 23]

Beside the other tubes there lay another. This one contained a female of the Earth Pony variety. She was brown, freckles scattered across her nose, and sleeping peacefully. Unfortunately, the latter would not last. Slowly she became aware of having limbs, four of them which she could control. It took another moment after that before she cracked open an eye and peered out at the world. It seemed a bit... blurry, really. She had to admit she hadn't been expecting that. But honestly, she hadn't been expecting anything. How could a pony with no recollections of anything expect something from the world? Except, perhaps, an explanation.

 

Although the pony could control these limbs, she soon found it wasn't a very good control. Her legs flailed about, hitting something hard on each side and making the pony wince. She found herself propelled forward by the movement she was making and bumped nose first into something else that was hard. Clear, though, and through which she could see the blurry details of the outside. A hall, a bunch of tubes, and a group of other ponies were on the other side of the... Glass! Yes, that was it. The pony felt a burst of warmth inside her at having figured out the word. Just then she heard something shift and the glass began to move. Another moment and it was gone completely, and she was tumbling out onto the floor

 

The pony slowly began to make her way to her hooves, easing her way up. So concentrated was she on the task at hand that a new voice nearly made the pony fall down once more.

 

"Spun Cinnamon, there is no need for fear. I am Celestia, and we are here to help you." Spun Cinnamon, for she found herself taking to the name easily, looked up at the taller pony. Celestia towered over Spun, but with such a kindly smile that Spun couldn't decide between loving her instantly and being very, very scared. A moment of silence passed as questions began to build up in Spun's head. Soon, however, she couldn't hold back the curiosity growing within her.

 

"Hello! Spun Cinnamon... That's an interesting name. Why is it mine? Where am I? Why can't I remember anything? Who are they?" That final question was a result of Soun glancing around and spotting all the other ponies in the room. Some were staring at the tubes, some were staring at her, some were staring at charts. There were two who seemed to be talking and looked a bit different from the rest. Spun couldn't really put a hoof on why.

 

"So many questions! But the time for answers will be later, my little pony. For now, would you like to meet some friends?" Celestia asked, gesturing towards the two ponies that were talking to each other. Spun didn't even hesitate with a cheerful grin up at Celestia.

 

"Absolutely!" Spun responded and Celestia led her over to the other two.

 

"Firecracker, Note Sheet, this is Spun Cinnamon," Celestia introduced the mare. Then, upon hearing another exclamation about a different tube, she turned and trotted away. Spun watched the mare for a moment before turning back to Firecracker and Note Sheet.

 

"Hello there! Do you know where we are? Or what's happening? You can call me Spun, by the way. Or Cinnamon. Or neither. I don't really know my name too well right now, so any nickname will do!" Spun burbled on cheerfully.

[Naturematthe 51]

Shortly after Note Sheet's awakening three other ponies came out of their incubators, one after another. The first one immediately tried to talk to him, a male unicorn who introduced himself as Firecracker. Interesting name..."Er... hi, my name is Note Sheet, and... well, nice to meet you, too. Do you have..."

He was interrupted by an earth pony that started talking to him as well - just way faster than Firecracker. "Wow... Slowly, please. I can't answer your questions if you keep your speaking speed like that", he said. He was very surprised that the young mare was looking so happy although she was in the same situation as he. "Well, to be honest, I can't even answer one of your questions right now, Spun."

Note Sheet noticed a third pony that obviously hadn't talked to them before, a blue pegasus. Note Sheet wasn't sure what to do. Talk to him? Wait for him to talk to them?

Not all ponies in the room were awake until now, and Note Sheet also couldn't tell if any of them were about to wake up soon anyway.

An Earth Pony mare came up to Firecracker and Note as they just introduced themselves, she said her name was Spun Cinnamon.

"Your name is Spun Cinnamon? That's actually kinda of cute name." Firecracker said thoughtfully.

 

"This kind of introduction is kinda overused but I'm Firecracker, nice to meet ya..."

 

Suddenly, Firecracker saw another pony who was also like them, he was a blue pegasus.

"Hey look, another one in the same situation as us! What's your name, pal?" Firecracker said as he came up to him.

[Tacit Moon 100]

There was nothing at first.

Then..

A pale blue haze.

 

Cold against Her back.

 

And finally, a faint (buzzing)

 

Storm Streak opened her eyes. Form started to emerge from the blue that enveloped her vision.

(Ahhh……) Was the only thing that Streak could think as the world materialized around her.

 

She moved a hoof to her head and moaned out loud for a moment. Closing her eyes to avoid the painful light, she tried sitting up.

 

Her head softly impacted something hard.

 

A chill rose in her spine.

 

Suddenly awake, her eyes shot around the small capsule that she now found herself in. Her hooves shot upward and started pushing on the glass, Panic burrowing into her stomach.

“Hello!! Gach.. HELLO!! HELP!!”

 

She pushed against the glass with all her strength, and just as she pulled her hooves back to start pounding on the barrier, It relented before she could stop herself, and quickly swung upward with a hum. Streak flew forward as her hooves flew right past their intended target and out into the open.

 

“Aahhhh!” She yelled as she fell face first into the wide eyes of a shocked looking pony in a white lab coat.

 

Streak jumped up from the floor, (and a now cross eyed pony) She glanced quickly around her eyes darting around the strange place that she now found herself. Just as she had resolved to make a run for what looked like the exit, she was stopped by a warm voice.

 

“Storm Streak… It’s alright. Please.. don’t run”

 

The voice eased the tension in her legs. There was something familiar and calming about it.

Streak turned to find a pony with a horn and a beautiful pure white pair of wings Standing tall. She was nearly twice her height, and she had a smile that felt like a warm summer afternoon.

 

Streak slowly stood up, out of her “ready to spring off” position.

 

“Who are you?” Streak asked, interested, yet still a little intimidated at the situation.

 

The small conversation that ensued, convinced her that there really wasn’t anything to be afraid of at the moment. She was sent over to a small group of ponies that were situated in the middle of the room talking. They seemed to be different than the others. Streak didn’t know if it was the lack of white laboratory attire, or the awkward and confused looks that seemed to come in waves to the group.

 

Regardless, she wasn’t much feeling like talking. She couldn’t remember anything. She didn’t know where she was or why she was here.

 

She was called “Storm Streak” But it sounded kinda weird.

“Storm Streak.” She said out loud a few times. It didn’t sound farmiliar.

 

She listened for a moment, to a conversation between some of the other ponies that she was standing by.

“Note Sheet… Flame Dancer..” She repeated quietly.

 

“Storm Streak.” It didn’t feel like the other names. (Hmm.. I guess there’s no reason to lie about my name…)

She felt a little better having a small piece of her identity. But that still didn’t make her want to talk to the other ponies.

[With A Bang 23]

Spun Cinnamon peered at the two other ponies before her. She'd already overheard the first one mention his name- Note Sheet. It was interesting, as far as Spun could tell. Not that she knew very many names. Only her own and Celestia and Note Sheet. First, however, her eyes were focused on Note Sheet as he responded to her list of questions.

 

"Sorry! I guess I'm just curious. I mean, I don't really know much yet and I want to know stuff. I want to know what's going on and where I am and who I am. But I suppose that's also not something you can answer," Spun responded, making a conscious effort to speak slower. It was easier as her feeling of excitement slowly drained. Now that she was considering the situation and not just acting on instinct, it was a bit troubling. Spun shifted on her hooves, frowning a bit as more questions danced across her mind. She was broken out of her thoughts by the other pony speaking, first about her name and then his.

 

"Oh! Thank you. Well, that's what I was told my name was, anyway. It feels like my name, too. Do you like the name Firecracker?" Spun asked. Her thoughts had turned away from sad things like I don't know what's going on and What do they want with us? Now she was once more considering the curiosity that was names.

 

Spun turned as she heard new noises. Another tube had opened and spilled out a different pony. This one was blue and seemed female, like Spun herself. Celestia seemed to be occupied with the newest pony, so Spun glanced back at Firecracker and Note Sheet.

((OOC: Sorry for the late reply, I thought I was following the topic but I guess not )

 

Flame was quietly listening to the ponies talk but then one of the ponies asked him his name. *Oh no... What was my name ? Flame Dancer... Yea, I think that's it.* He thought, feeling slightly panicked. "Oh... I um... I'm Flame Dancer... I think. You're Note Sheet... Wait no, You're Firecracker. Forgive me but... I am feeling rather confused as too what is going on." He said, Shyly. "You dont happen to know what is going on, Do you ? I'm... Kinda scared."

[Chespin 180]

"I don't know, I personally think it's kinda plain... But on the other hoof, I think it suits me fine!" Firecracker answered to Spun Cinnamon with a grin on his face.

 

Firecracker prepared to answer Flame's question, but he was confused too, so is everypony else who came out of those weird capsules... "To tell you the truth, I can't tell what's going on either, but this Cel pony might have the answers to all of our questions... Also, Note's the green one and I'm the teal one, ok?" He answered unknowingly.

 

Firecracker also heard another pony with Celestia, this time a female pegasus, "I wonder how many more ponies are waking up..." he thought. He checked the room, there were around a dozen capsules there, and all of them were empty, "Nope, that's everypony."

Streak Stood there in the side of the small group of ponies. She tried to remember.. Something. Anything.

 

She tried to remember her home, Her family. Maybe her friends. But there was nothing. Perhaps she just needed more time. .

 

The room they were in was rather large. It had many more of the little capsules that she had awoken in.

 

(This is NOT the most awesome thing ever.) She looked around the room at the lab ponies with their white coats. (What the hay is going on here?)

 

She looked over at some of the other ponies nearby. They seemed just as upset as she did. Streak sighed. She then walked over to the group of ponies.

 

 

 

“Hey.” She said. “Everypony here have the same (Not remembering things) problem? I’m Storm Streak by the way. Or so I’m told.. You’re, Eh.. Note Sheet, Firecracker, and.. uh.. Spun Cinnamon? Right?

 

She realized only now that she had interrupted their conversation.

 

“Uh. Sorry to interrupt. I was just, well.. Sorry..”

 

 

 

Streaks ears lay down flat against her head and she shrunk a little where she stood. She stood there hoping for a reply that didn’t involve acknowledging her rudeness.

"O-Ok." He said quietly.

 

 

*How can every pony here be so calm... We wake up in some strange lab where we know how to speak but... we have no memories of learning... or no memories in general... Why is every pony so relaxed.* He thought.

 

 

 

He addressed the small group of ponies who had just awoken "S-so None of you have any idea about what is happening... I f-feel like I should have at least one m-memory... of learning to talk or... s-something. But I dont." He said shakily, staring around the room.

Note Sheet was perfectly able to understand how Flame and Storm Streak felt at the moment. Even though he was sure that there was a reasonable explaination - Celestia had promised there was one - everything just didn't feel... right.

He turned around to face Storm Streak. "Oh no, you're not interrupting at all. We all seem to have the same problem. I surely hope that Celestia will tell us everything soon."

 

"I will, right now", a voice behind him suddenly said. It was the pony he had seen when he had woken up. "Follow me, please. I shouldn't tell you all these things in an uncomfortable place like this one." She turned around and walked to a small door at the other side of the room. Note Sheet took a quick look at the other ponies that had woken up. Somehow he felt responsible for them...

 

After a while he followed Celestia. The room he entered was a totally new world compared to the laboratory he just had left. He needed many seconds to sort all the things he saw and heard in this place.

"Please, get yourself comfortable, and if you're hungry, this is for you." Celestia pointed her horn on a table in one corner of the room. It was set with lots of different kinds of fruits,, bananas, cherries, appleas, and many more. "Just help yourself."

[Chespin 180]

"No, It's fine really, Were just; you know, thinking if we really do have existed before" Firecracker answered Streak, "Anyways, do you have a name?"

 

Firecracker began to think about his past, Blank. He thought to think harder; Nope, It's like his memory was wiped clean. "Do I really have a past or is this who I really am?"

 

"This is kinda odd, but I can't seem to remember anything prior to this, My memories are blank like a tape recorder..." he said with a worried look on his face.

[Tacit Moon 100]

“Ow wow!” Streak exclaimed as they came into sight of the table. It lay there with fruit of all kinds. It was only then that Streak realized how hungry she was.

 

“Awesome.” Was the last word that left her mouth before she shoveled in a hand full of blue berries. A moment later, she found herself asking questions between bites.

 

“So, what’s with all the sciency stuff around here??” (munch munch) “Am ware awe we?”

[With A Bang 23]

Spun Cinnamon watched with a small smile as others began to wake up and introduce themselves. She was having a bit of a hard time getting all the names straight in her head. There were just so many ponies! Storm Streak and Flame Dancer seemed to be the newest to the little group and Spun waved at them with a single hoof. Despite many questions being formed in her mind, Spun kept quiet. She wasn't sure what the feeling was that kept her mouth shut, but she tried not to dwell on it. She didn't feel very happy and that definitely wasn't good. As much as she tried to cheer herself up, however, Spun found that her thoughts kept returning to her nonexistent past. Before waking up in the tube she couldn't remember anything. She didn't know anything about the world around them, or why they were here, or if somepony was missing her...

 

Just then, Spun heard Celestia start speaking. She looked up at the regal mare and nodded eagerly. Now I'm gonna find stuff out! Spun thought. She bounced after Celestia as quickly as she could while she led them away to a different room and offered food. Spun glanced at the heavily laden table and immediately trotted over to survey the choices. It took her a moment to realize that she didn't know what she liked. That was certainly very weird. With a small shrug, Spun opted to get a little bit of everything before turning back to Celestia and plopping herself down in a sitting position.

 

"What's going on? Where are we? Why can't we remember anything? Do we have families waiting for us? What're those tube thingies? Why were we in them?" Spun wasted no time in letting loose a barrage of questions at Celestia.

 

((OOC: Sorry this took so long! Got unexpectedly busy XP ))

[Chespin 180]

Celestia came up to Firecracker and the group he was in, she said that they were going to another room so they can get answers, she then went through a mysterious door, Firecracker then saw the look on Note Sheet's face, "I think Note woke up first,so he must feel responsible for us, WHY CAN'T IT BE ME!?!" thought Firecracker as he followed Celestia along with the group he was with...

 

After Firecracker and the others went through the door, he was in a completely different room, It was lighter, which syncs with the mood a bit better, he saw Celestia point her horn somewhere, Firecracker followed her direction, a bowl of fruit was right on top of it, but the only expectation to the fruit was, there was a single juice box in the room, Firecracker felt his tongue dry, "I think I'm a bit thirsty right now, do you mind if I take the juice box, Streak?" he said after he saw her dive for the fruit bowl first.

 

"I think I can't wait for the answers I've been wondering about, like where I came from, and what I really am..." Firecracker thought, calmly...

Edited November 18, 2012 by Danger Dashie

[Tacit Moon 100]

“Not at all. Go for it.” Streak replied to firecracker. She was busy with a particularly juicy pear anyways.

 

The thought of food and drink had all but gotten her to forget about the rather odd situation. She found that she was both hungry and thirsty, and strongly so.

 

She felt that she had already put in her two bits and stayed quiet. All the while keeping her ears open.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,803]

Flame followed Celestia into the next room. *Wow...I haven't really had time to think about how hungry I am.* He thought, Trotting over to the table and grabbing an apple. "Ok....Forgive my rudeness but... I want answers. Where are we ? Why cant I remember anything ? And... Who are you ?" He asked, biting into the apple.

[Naturematthe 51]

The other ponies asked the exact questions Note Sheet would like to know the answers for. Celestia hadn't told them anything yet, but she always said she would tell everything soon...

Soon... Not right now.

Note Sheet had found a fruit he really was interested in, a yellow bent one. He tried to take a bite, but the skin was too hard to bite through. He needed quite a while to figure out how to remove it before he was able to reach the soft thing inside. It tasted sweet, and he liked it.

 

"Okay, ponies. Now you're all here, I'll finally tell you what's going on...", Celestia spoke. Of course Note Sheet couldn't help but turn around to face the princess (that hadn't introduced herself as such yet). "You are here for a special reason, because you are our last hope..."

 

((OOC: Celestia's speech will be written within the next 24 hours. Get ready, finish eating, whatever^^))

[Chespin 180]

While Firecracker was slurping his juice box, he thought to ask Celestia abut his thoughts in speech form now "Hey Cel, can I get my answers that me and the others are wondering, I'm getting a little impatient over here..." Firecracker asked, politely as he can say, while cutely sipping his juice box. "You are here for a special reason, because you are our last hope..." Celestia answered all of the ponies, Firecracker was excited to finally get answers in his mind.

Edited November 20, 2012 by Danger Dashie

[Naturematthe 51]

Just when Note Sheet was about to take his attention from the princess, Celestia started speaking to the ponies.

 

"My dear mares and colts, I know you have to be very upset not to know what's happening, what has happened, who you are. I promise I'll tell you everything I can about you, even if it might not sound very pleasant or even impossible.

The reason why nopony of you remembers anything from his or her past is just that you... you don't have one. Your life started two months ago, and all you've done since the moment when you woke up is everything you did in your whole life.

Everypony of you is the result of a long, difficult, but also very important experiment. You haven't been born like other ponies, you were... created by scientists, engineered to perform a vital mission, a mission that shall save us all. You have been created as our last hope to survive.

 

The ponies in Equestria suffer from a disease we can neither heal nor stop. All we were able to do was creating ponies that are immune to it - you. You are the only ponies that won't grow weaker every day. A kind of bacterium everypony needs to gain energy from their food started mutating due to a strange radiation. Our scientists were able to modify some of the bacteriums, but they were not able to give them to living ponies. That's why you were created, you have the modified bacterium in your bodies, you won't suffer from the radiation. And you are the last ponies that are strong enough to find the sourche of that radiation - and a way to stop it.

The faith of Equestria lies in your hooves. If you are successful, you will save Equestria from dying. If you fail, you will be able to revive it, to start a new Equestria. I know it's an enormous task you have to fulfill, but I am v ery certain you won't fail."

 

Celestia paused for a moment, which gave the ponies a moment to think about what bthey just had heard. Note Sheet had trouble realising what Celestia just had told them. But even though he was totally stunned by all those things, he had to keep listening because Celestia hadn't finished yet.

 

"You soon will travel to a place called Ponyville and meet my most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. She will be able to tell you more about what we know, where you will go and what you'll have to do. The train that will bring you there will arrive anytime soon, take your time to get ready or ask me questions. I will try to answer everything you ask me."

[Chespin 180]

     "Wow, just wow, this makes me want to go to one of the top parts of the tower and let some sort of wind blow away at my mane and... sing. But anyways, that's why my mind goes blank whenever I try to remember something..." Firecracker said as he thanked Celestia. Firecracker started to wondered who or what is the cause of this disease.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,803]

Flame stood, Not knowing what to say, Not knowing whether to cry or be happy. "So... You're saying that, We dont have a life ? Because... We are all intelligent, and we know things but... we are basically foals... I have never had a birthday... I dont have a special somepony... I dont have a mother or father... or any family members... And now I have to save Equestria ?" Flame said, sounding rather upset. 

[Tacit Moon 100]

Star Streak finally swallowed the mouth full of almonds that she had stopped chewing a few seconds into Celestias speech.

 

“ohh..” She stared blankly at the princess for several long moments.

 

That wasn’t what she had expected to hear. She wasn’t exactly sure what she HAD expected. But is WASN’T that.

 

“So… We’re.. Not real??” She said quietly.  Streak thought about that. She sure felt real..

 

She suddenly didn’t feel very hungry anymore.

 

Could she really be something that some ponies just thought up and put together??

 

Well.. If that’s true.. Then There are a lot of ponies that need her help.. She wasn’t just somepony that got to run around and do what she wanted. She was a pony that had a purpose. She was there for a reason.

 

Streak felt a chill run up her spine.

 

She liked being alive. She liked food, and (though she hadn’t really spoken with the other ponies) she really liked them being there too.  She didn’t feel like she had, “Just been created” Star Streak felt like she had always been there.

 

“Ok.” She finally said loud enough for the princess to hear. “I’m in.”

 

Star Steak kept her seat, still a little wobbly from the interesting news.

 

“How are we supposed to find whatever this thing is though? That is, if you couldn’t find it??”
