I stared down at my camera, and waited for the battery to be fully charged and grabbed it. I shoved the camera in my backpack and ran out of my room. I ran down the stairs and out the door. I slowed to a jog and joined up with my friends.

"Hey guys," Jacob said as I joined my friends in tandom.

"Hey Jacob, do you have your new camera," Gus asked. Gus was my oldest friend. I knew him since kindergarten and our friendship only grew since. "I was wondering if you were going to do a 50,000 subscriber special."

"Yeah, I got my new camera, but I'm doing the special later," I told him as I grabbed the camera out of my backpack. "I am going to record a vlog though so you can join in if you want."

I started recording on my camera as we aproached the school, I did my intro then cut the camera off.

"We have finals testing this week don't we?"

"Yeah, we do."

"It's going to be a slow week."


I sat down in the desk and got ready to take my last test. I was going to pass this one easily as science was my favorite class. My teacher passed me the test and I got started immediatly. What is the heaviest element, what is CO2, simple science questions. I was doing fine until I came across a question that said 'error= sciprobdatamissing'.

"Ma'am, I have a question," I look up to see the teacher walking over to me.

"What do you need Jacob?"

"This question is weird," I told her when pointing to the question. I heard a sound that sounded like the internet starting up in the 90's. I looked up to see my teacher with her mouth open.

"Please contact an administrator and a engineer to fix this," my teacher said this over and over again on a loop. The other kids had stopped moving and air started getting harder to breathe. I stood up and knocked my chair over which vaporized into lines of code as it hit the floor. I rand towards the door and threw it open and the next thing I knew was that I was falling.


I looked around me only to see black and I listened for anything to only hear my heartbeat in my ears. My body was floating in this void, but it wasn't cold nore hot, it felt like there wasn't actually heat or cold. I floated around for a while moving my legs when they went numb. I swayed my legs about for the millionth time when I my foot rubbed against something. I threw my foot back towards the surface and dragged my foot against it trying to pull myself in. I finally got traction and threw myself forward, only for the gravity to increase drastically and I was thrown to this surface. I landed on my hands, but everything was still dark. When I got up to walk, I kept falling over so I got on all fours and decided to crawl around this black hellscape. I was about 10 feet away from where I first landed on this surface when I got stopped by something attached to my head. I reached up and felt something around my eyes and I quickly yanked this thing off my head. When I did so the black hellscape that I was in turned into a small cramped hallway with containers made of glass and filled with presumably water. The lights in the room where blinding, so I went up to cover my eyes with my... hoof?

My first reaction wad to make sure it was mine and my second reaction was that of absolute terror. After about 10 minutes of screaming I finally calmed down enough to check the rest of my body, and surely enough the rest of me was equine in nature. Now I understood why I couldn't walk around normally, but me walking on all fours was actually me walking correctly. I looked at the device that was wrapped around my gead and saw a vr headset like that of the HTC Vive and the wire connected to it was what held me back.

I followed the wire back to where it came from and saw the wire loop around into a chamber that was broken, probably from me. The contents of the chamber were on the floor now, which made it slippery. Next to the chamber was a plaque, like that on a science expirement.

"Subject Name Black Meadow," I whispered to myself as I read. Next to the name was a picture of a pony with a black coat, blue eyes, and a small gray horn. I looked at my coat, which still didn't feel right to me, and I saw a black coat. I now know what I look like and what my mame is. "Subject class B, Subject is the Lead Developer for the U.V.R.D.P, UVRDP?"

The rest of the plaque explained my importance to the UVRDP, but not exactly what it was. I looked at the other chambers and found some with ponies in the them and some with ponies in them. The chambers with ponies in them weren't broken like mine was, but the glass did have small holes punctured into them and the liquid inside was stained red. I assume that someone had shot them. Just confirm that assumption I found spent shell casings on the floor. I walked down the hall towards a door with a winfow next to it. The window had many bullet holes in it, but the window wasn't in pieces so it was probably bulletproof. I opened the door and found what looked like a security office. It had monitors, a weapons locker, and not much else. The weapons locker was empty, except for a few magazines of some sort of caliber.

I heard the sound of hooves hitting the ground, how I knew what that sounded like I have no clue. I wached a pony enter the doorway and their horn lit up the and my vision became blurry, I then hit the floor with a thud and I was out like a light.
