"Wake up Docter Freepony," a voice rings. I open my eyes to see a brown colored pony with a dark brown mane. He is dressed in a blue suit with a black leather suitcase by his side.

I blink my eyes. I'm not dreaming. The room I am standing in is pitch black. Suddenly an image flashes before me. A machine that explodes into a ton of pieces leaving it in pitch black with me.

The strange pony before me smiles, deviously. "The wrong pony in the wrong place can make all," he studders, "the differance in the world."

He continues, "So wake up Docter Freepony," he says, "wake up and smell the ashes..."

After he says those words, the black image disappears and I appear in a train that is moving along.

Two stallions are on the dark moldy train with me. The dark furred one peers over at me.

"I didn't see you get on," he tells me. I can't react with words so I just nod. I rub my hooves over my cutie mark to comfort me. A crowbar. I don't see that as a very terrific mark, but it is what it is. The black horse's cutie mark appears to be some shoe with wings on it. I guess he is a fast runner. I can't see the other pony's mark because of the train seat.

The two earth-bound ponies look at the door as I notice the train halts to a stop.

"Welp," the black horse begins, "here's the stop." I see the cutie mark of the other pony as he gets up on all hooves. It is the mark of a spider. Strange. I flick my head around and continue on. I exit the train as the smoggy feel of the city wraps around me.

"Welcome to Field seventeen," the sound of a voice blurts out, "it's safer here..." I glance up to see a screen to see a pony with a gray mane. Something about a propaganda. I have no idea about what he is talking about. It doesn't matter I guess.

I continue on until I enter an area where some strange pony with a black suit is searching another pony's suitcase. He uses some device on his gloves that are over his hooves to open the case. He checks it and throws it to the ground.

The pony turns to me. His strange white gasmask hiding his eyes stare into my soul. I look away and continue on. I pass through some area with containers and other ponies. Finally, I reach an area where the mysterious ponies are moving ponies through gates. Every so ofter, a red light would flicker on and that pony would be directed to another path. The sign says, "Dodge Junction".

I enter for my turn. The red light flickers on and I am directed to the other fenced path. Right before I pass through the last fence, one of the strange ponies pointed me out and directed me into a hallway. This is quiet strange...

I am guided into a room with another weird pony. This one's voice sounds strange...

"Let me handle this," it says. The other one nods as the pony exits the room. The pony that closes the door and me and the last pony stand there. He presses a button on his mask and it drops to the floor. "If it isn't Jorgen!" he laughs. "Remember," he begins, "it's me, Barely Calcorn!"

I truthfully don't remember. He smiles and goes to a control panel. I glance around the room. There is some strange chair with blood on it.

Barely presses a button on his panel with his snout. The image of another pony lights up.

"What is it Barely," the pony exclaims, "I am very bus-" The pony's jaw drops. "Jorgen Freepony..."

"Yup," Barely laughs, "he was about to board a train to Dodge Junction!"

"You have to get him out of here!" the pony says. He pushes his glasses over his snout and presses some buttons off screen.

"I'm working on it Kleiner!" Barely exclaims. He begins to press to press buttons with his hooves and a door on the opposite side of the room flies open.

In it is the exit of the room into an alley. Barely points me out of the room. "You gotta get to Kleiner's lab, Jorgen!" Barely states. I nod and trot out of the room. The click of the door sounds as I am left alone.

As the door shuts behind me, I examine the room. There is no roof, so the sky is open over my head. The ground is dirt with a few wooden boxes sprawled around everywhere. I look around the room for an exit. The only way out would be to fly out or climb onto a ledge into another room inside of a balcony like thing.

I lay the boxes into a slope contraption. I hop up onto each box, carefully climbing my way to the top.

Once I reach it, I look down. About a eight foot fall. There is another box down there that may stop my fall from breaking my knees (Horses do have knees).

I hop down and land on it with a CRACK! The box breaks from under my hooves. The chunks of wooden scrap fly in all directions as I fall to the dirt ground. I'm in a fenced off alley with a door leading into a big building. I trot to the door and open it with my dirty hooves.

When I enter, there is nobody around. The room is covered in grime and water machines. The room has scratched up benches. I walk over to the only hallway. Half way there, one of the strange ponies blocks the path. He points to a trashcan right beside the hall frame. A can stands on the side. He flicks it onto the ground and points at it. He pulls out some metal rod object with his mouth and chomps on some button.

"You dropped that can," he begins, "now pick it up." I stand there and look around to see who he is talking to. I am the only other pony inside of the room. "I said," he continues, "pick up the can." His voice becomes more demanding than declaring.

I walk over to the can and grasp it with my teeth. I drop it inside of the can as the pony backs off into a big room with regular and strange ponies. I follow and walk over to another hallway that leads to two big wooden doors.

The doors creak open as I gently push them open with my right hoof. It is a huge plaza filled with different ponies. The suited ones, pegasi, earth-bound ponies, and unicorns. All of the Pegasi wear vests that disable them from flying.

I take a right and walk down a road to a blocked off road into a highway. There are three of the strange ponies searching a pegasus and a unicorn. I turn a right to avoid them again.

I feel a strange presence taking me this way. My inspired path is blocked off by a fence. I know that this is the right path, but there is no way around it. I look around to see if anypony is watching me. I look up to see the same pony that I saw in my "dream" standing on a building. He swipes his hooves and walks away.

I blink and suddenly see that the fence has dissappeared. I trot on by to a stone path that has two ponies standing by a column. They seem to be looking at the suited ponies guarding an apartment door.

I walk over to where the two ponies are. One an earth-bound pony, and another a vested pegasus. They seem to be whispering to eachother until they notice me. They look at my cutie mark and walk away into another apartment building. I follow them and enter the apartment.

Well. It seems that this may be a start. A strange start.
