PROLOG
“Run!” the Pegasus screamed at her sister. The two twins were running for dear life, running from them. They were white ponies, their red eyes and innocent voices seemed to flow out of every door, every small window. “Wait!” one twin screamed but it was too late. The twin had turned a corner and was immediately gunned down. Her corps laid in the hall, blood pooled around her. The older twin stared in shock, soon she could see the white hoof stepping over her sisters corps. Its red eyes seemed to brighten at the sight of its yellow prey. “HeelloOO friend.” it said. Running back the way she came, she could hear the *snick* of its quad barrels sliding into place. Turning a corner she was immediately greeted by the sight of a door labeled “EXIT” in bright green letters. Tears flowing down her face she ran for the door, when suddenly the door slammed open. On the other side of the door way was a wall of spikes, stopping suddenly as she almost slammed into them she turned around and was about to flee , then she saw that the hallway was filled wall to wall with the white ponies. “Oh no. . .” she sobbed she sank to the floor crying. Her sister was dead. There was no way out, she couldn’t take it any more. All she could do now was cry. She could hear the thunder of hooves as her pursuers ran toward her, but she didn’t care. Looking up and expecting to see them right on top of her when, she realized that they were running away from her.
Standing up on shaky legs she turned around and saw that the wall of spikes was pulling away from the doorway. She was actually thought that she would live, but her bittersweet moment was cut short. With lightning fast speed, the wall of spikes flew towards the Yellow Pegasus. That was the last thing that number 054 saw.
“Same ending, again.” Derpy sighed as she watched the spiked wall impaled the little Pegasus. “Well at least this one was slightly more interesting “Maybe I should start using them in pairs.” she contemplated silently. She reflected back on her fist few experiments. So far the eighth one was her favorite. She added a little note reminding her to watch the video later. A small *beep* sounded and she looked at the monitor labeled 55. On the monitor it showed the little yellow Pegasus stepping out onto the testing grounds. “H-hello?” it asked quietly.
“Hello?” the small Pegasus asked the empty room she took another step. Suddenly the door slammed shut behind her. With a small squeal she jumped back, heart pounding. She had just woken up and had such an awful dream, and now she was in this weird white room with bright lights. She couldn’t remember how she had gotten here, or, for that matter who she was. All she could remember was waking up in a puddle of something sticky and foul smelling. Then a door opened and now she was here. She shivered from the cold. As she crossed the room she noticed a note. Flipping it open it read
“Don‘t trust her.”
“What?” she asked, suddenly the floor before her opened up to reveal a small white thing lying curled up on the ground. Walking over to it she asked in a small quiet voice “U-um.” she asked “H-hello? Are- are you alright?” slowly the thing turned around, the yellow Pegasus screamed. Her eyes were a dark red, and her voice was so innocent. “There you are.” she said as her bare flanks slid open, and with a *snick* four barrels slid into place.
She turned to flee but was thrown to the floor as the bullets impaled her back legs. She cried as she dragged her self away from the white monstrosity, slowly it walked in front of her, whimpering she looked up at the her assailant. With a little “Goodnight.” it fired a single bullet into the Pegasus’s head.
“That one didn’t even try.” she A.I. said to herself. She watched as the dark grey filly walked back and forth, its green eyes surveying everything. Making sure nothing beside her and her master was living in the room. “Belle” Derpy said flatly the grey pony snapped to attention. “Yes ma’am.” she replied. “I want you to go and find a special pony for me.” Derpy sent the image her prey to Belle. “I will go at once but master, who will protect y-” “Don’t worry about me. Just go” Derpy cut off. With that the Grey pony walked out of the room.
