Mare-Do-Well: Moongate Asylum Riot After a bit of fiddling with the Cryptographic Sequencer, the control box exploded and the security gate sparked out. Mitta turned to the Warden. "You stay here. Lock this gate when I leave." "Good idea." The Warden agreed. "Can't have somepony of my stature falling back into their hooves, now, can we?" Mitta rolled her eyes. Then she walked down the stairs, noting that Non-Form had transformed into Warden Point and was glaring at her. She ignored him and continued towards the door. As she walked to it though, she couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. She walked out the door and immediately discovered the problem. Flower Power wasn't the only one to have been let out of his cell. Every single other cell in the room was open and empty. Mitta stared at the room for a while before cursing loudly. Mitta ran along, knowing the sort of damage that the maniacs in this place could do. However, before she could get to the door, an inmate burst out from a cell. He had a clamp on his snout and had the sort of look in his eyes that clearly said, 'What is that thing?! I'll kill it!' The only good thing about these inmates was that they were predictable. As he ran towards Mitta, she sidestepped and tripped him over. As he was on the ground, Mitta walked up and punched his face, knocking him out. She didn't need him doing any damage. Mitta walked out the door, doing a quick scan to see if there were any more nutjobs around. There were none in her immediate path, but there was a guard on the electrified floor holding his stomach. As Mitta went to help him, a pink unicorn out from the side and said, "Surprise!" Pinkamena grinned at her. "Y'know, I kinda thought that you could fly, even a little bit." She teleported to an above part, where she went over to a control box. "Guess I thought wrong!" She said, blasting the control box. Immediately, the floor started to spark, electrocuting the guard into unconsciousness. "Come and get me, Mares!" Pinkamena shouted. "I double dare you!" Even with her broken wing, the electrocuted floor was no problem. Mitta pulled out her grapnel and grappled up to the platform, where there were a bunch of thugs, waiting to fight. Two charged at her, which Mitta responded to by grabbing them both and smashing their heads together. She then used her Claw to pull an inmate away from a gun rack and a thrower to stun another one trying to get guns. The first one tried to get back up, but with a buck, he was sent back down again. The second backed off while the fourth ran at her. Mitta stepped to the side, allowing the inmate to crash into the railing. "You guys are idiots!" Pinkamena laughed, hanging on a light. "You're simply hilarious!" The third got punched in the face and fell down and the second tried to punch her but Mitta ducked under his hoof and smashed the back of his head. The fourth tried to get up, but Mitta knocked him over the railing and onto the electrocuted floor. He yelled for a minute before passing out. Mitta then broke the first thug's foreleg, giving him enough pain to faint. At this point, the last two thugs knew what was coming, so they didn't really try their hardest. The second thug had his buck countered and he went down and out. The last guy tried to beg for mercy, but Mitta just punched his face. "Hey, boys and girls!" Pinkamena called. "I think your buddies need some help." A pacification barrier closed down, revealing three mares and two stallions. All five came out of the small corridor and prepared to fight. A mare rushed at Mitta, who responded by tripping over the rushing inmate and punching her stomach. The next one, a stallion, got hit in the face by a thrower and the other stallion got picked up and thrown at a mare. The fifth minion tried to rush at Mitta, who used her Claw to smash her face into the ground. "Ooooooo." Pinkamena said mockingly. "That looked like it hurt." The second thug tried to buck Mitta, but she flipped him over and let him hit his head on the floor. The fourth pushed the third off of her only to be hit by a thrower. The first and the fifth ran in at the same time, so Mitta smashed their heads together, knocking them both down. The third got kicked right in the face. Mitta jumped over to the first thug just as he was getting up and smashed him into the ground, knocking her out. The fourth tried to punch Mitta and got countered, punched, and knocked out. The second had his foreleg broken. The third tried to buck Mitta but had his jaw knocked out of alignment and the fifth, while trying to get a gun, got hit by a thrower. Pinkamena was insane, but she wasn't stupid. She knew that if she stayed where she was, then Mare-Do-Well would probably beat her until barely conscious. So she teleported to a doorway, which was immediately covered by a pacification barrier. "Was that as easy as it looked?" Pinkamena asked to the air. "Well, it sure won't be easy trying to catch me!" With that, she ran down the corridor. Mitta had to go after Pinkamena, but to do that, she had to take out the electric floor. She went into the control room, getting out her Cryptographic Sequencer, and walked to a control box. Mitta immediately got to work, trying to deactivate the box. One of the main problems with the security system in Moongate Asylum was that they didn't use the standard password system that literally every other security system in Manehatten used. This made it so that Mitta had to physically destroy the boxes instead of figuring out a password. Eventually, the box she was working on exploded, turning off the electricity on the floor. That out of the way, Mitta glided down to where the guard and the fallen inmate were. She quickly checked them, satisfied that they were both breathing, though unconscious. Now, she walked through the doorway that Pinkamena went through. A maniac tried to charge at her, but Mitta picked him up and slammed him into the ground. She then smashed his face, knocking him out. Then she continued on her way. With her lenses, she noticed another maniac around the corner, so she went and took care of him. She then walked up some stairs. Allowing the door to scan her, Mitta activated her lenses. To her alarm, she saw what appeared to be two ponies being hanged by the back hooves. She quickly ran over to the next door, impatiently waiting for it to open, then she burst through. She was greeted by the sight of two guards hanging over electrified water. One water pool had a present in front of it. On the left was a window, from which Pinkamena was looking out of. Pinkamena grinned. "Hey Mares, how's it hangin'? Well," She gestured towards the guards. "As you can see, these guards are certainly hanging!" She laughed insanely. Mitta looked around. She spied a control box to her left and next to the window. Getting out her Cryptographic Sequencer, she quickly hacked into it. To her satisfaction, it turned out to be a password protected system. She quickly decoded the password and the electricity beneath the guard on the left turned off. Seeing that it was safe now, Mitta threw a thrower and cut the rope. "Figured it out, huh?" Pinkamena taunted. "Well, lets see you figure this out!" The present unfolded to reveal a bomb. The timer on its front read 2 minutes and counting. Mitta frowned and looked around. The electricity beneath the last guard hadn't switched off, so there was obviously a second control panel nearby. She found it near another pool of water. She went over to it and quickly decoded it, switching off the electricity beneath the last guard. Finally able to save him, Mitta threw another thrower and cut the rope. "Well, congrats Mares, you saved them both. Gotta go now." Pinkamena said. She then looked at a watch that had somehow appeared on her hoof. "Oh, and now you have thirty seconds to escape. Good luck!" She then sprang away. Mitta blinked rapidly, then looked at the bomb. The task of saving the last guard had only taken half a minute. The timer now read twenty-nine seconds. Mitta ran over to the door where the guards had gone to. She pulled out her Sequencer for the last time and quickly overloaded the control panel. It exploded and the door opened up. "Quick!" One of the guards shouted. "Get out!" All three of them ran out of the room. The door closed behind them just as the bomb released Fear Toxin everywhere. "Oh, thank Celestia!" One of the guards panted. "I thought we were going to die in there!" "Your safe now." Mitta responded. "You going after that crazy witch? I saw her heading out the door as we got out of the room." "She won't get away. I'll stop her, then Atmosphere." "Good. Hey, I'll try to get the ventilation system working. If you find her, don't go easy on her. For me." As the guards left, the other guard whispered, "Hey, what was that thing she used back in their?" "No idea." The other guard responded. "She saved our lives, that's all I need to know." Mitta went back the way she came, as that seemed to be the way Pinkamena was going. Other than a scuffle with a maniac, it was uneventful to the room with the electric floor. When she reached that room, Pinkamena taunted over the intercom, "C'mon, you tired or what? Let me help you." A pacification barrier went down, pretty much marking where Mitta had to go next. Mitta waited for the door to open, then went through. She noticed a maniac above her, but she ignored him, as he wasn't hurting her right now. She reached a point where there was a grate above her that lead above. Seeing no other way, Mitta pulled out her Claw and pulled down the grate. About three seconds after the vent was pulled down, a maniac fell down and tried to attack her. Unable to react quickly enough, Mitta soon found that the inmate was viciously trying to eat her. She threw him off and punched his face, knocking him out. After a bit of recovery, Mitta grappled up the vent and found herself in a room. She blew up a control panel that disabled the pacification barrier below her and then walked down the stairs. She found herself in front of a door that lead to Extreme Pacification. Mitta frowned. The super-criminals known as the Elementals were usually housed in there, as they were some of the most dangerous foes Mitta has encountered. They had broken out some time ago, but Mitta still wondered whether Pinkamena had something in store for her. Deciding that the best approach was go in, Mitta entered the room. The room was split into four sections: three panels with electrified flooring and the observation tower, in which Pinkamena was looking down at Mitta in. "Well, about time!" She said, grinning. "What took ya so long? I've been waiting for ages!" She put her hoof on a button. "I've been waiting to show you something... You see, I've had a talk with the other wackos in here and we decided to throw you a proper homecoming party!" The door on the right opened. Four thugs ran out, jumping down onto the central panel, where Mitta was. Following them was a green stallion with red, slitted eyes and no mane or tail. His Cutie Mark was a coiled snake. Every now and then a forked tongue struck out between two razor-sharp fangs. Oh, great. Mitta thought to herself. The thugs were no problem at all, but Serpent was a major threat. His major preference of attack was biting with his fangs (which he splashed with poison at every chance he got) or constricting with his whole body. Occasionally, he got his pet snakes to kill for him, but Mitta couldn't see any of them around. A stallion came up and tried to buck Mitta in the face, but Mitta just flipped him over and smashed his face. She then blasted a mare with magic and barely dodged Serpent's attempt at biting her. He came back around and dove at her again, so Mitta ducked and just as he was sailing over her, she blasted him with magic, sending him flying. Another mare got hit by a thrower and went down. At this point, Pinkamena apparently decided that this wasn't dangerous enough and activated the electric floor. Immediately, Mitta ran to the panel on the right. Two other thugs and Serpent followed suit. The first thug climbed up the panel on the left. The mare that Mitta had just knocked down wasn't so lucky and got electrocuted into unconsciousness. The last stallion tried to punch Mitta, but she slammed his head on the railing. Serpent tried to bite her again, diving at her at lightning speed. She barely dodged and threw a thrower, knocking him down again. The second thug got bucked in the face and was sent flying, while the fourth minion had his punch countered. The electric flooring started to glow again. Mitta jumped to the centre panel and used her claw to pull the first thug over the railing so he hit his head on the ground. Then Serpent dived at her again, this time colliding with her. This time though, he didn't bite her. Instead, he started to squeeze his body around her. Unable to breathe, Mitta punched Serpent's chin, making him let go of her. Then, she bucked him in the face. The fourth thug tried to attack her again, but Mitta just blasted him with magic, sending him flying and sending him down. She then started to counter a thug's punch, but noticed out of the corner of her eye that Serpent was moving again. She then pushed away the thug and dodged Serpent's dive. Serpent came back around and tried to bite her again. Mitta dodged, pulling out her Claw in the process. As he passed her, she fired and caught onto his head. Then, she pulled down, smashing his head on the floor. At this point, the floor started to spark again. Mitta jumped to the panel on the left, the other two thugs following suit. Mitta punched the second thug back to the ground that was sparking and barely dodged Serpent's dive. As the second thug got electrocuted, the first thug tried to punch her again, but Mitta just ducked under his attempted blow and punched his face, knocking him out. Now it was just her and Serpent. He dived at her again, with Mitta dodging and allowing him to collide with the railing. He staggered for a moment, allowing Mitta to use the Claw to smash his head into the ground again. Hissing in fury, he dived at her again, this time getting onto her. He raised his head to sink his fangs into her, but Mitta quickly bucked him off, sending him flying. He hit his head on the wall and slid down, unconscious. "You call that a fight?" Pinkamena asked rhetorically over the intercom. "Come on out colts!" Mitta sighed as the door on the left opened. Five thugs poured out this time, along with a grey stallion with wild, dark blue hair. He had an insane glare on his face and his Cutie Mark was a fractured skull of some sort. Mitta frowned for a moment. Bonecracker's method of attack was unpredictable, which made him a dangerous foe. His hooves were almost as hard as steel, which made him all the more deadly. A thug came up and tried to hit her with his hoof, but Mitta flipped him over and bucked him. She threw a thrower at another thug, knocking him down, and then dodged Bonecracker's swipe at her. He swung again, accidently hitting another thug, then stood still. Seeing this as an opportunity, Mitta threw a thrower at him, stunning him. She then punched him in the face, knocking him down. Two thugs rushed in at the same time, so Mitta smashed their heads together. At this point, the floor began to spark. Mitta, the thugs and Bonecracker quickly jumped to the other panel. However, the two minions that Mitta had smashed were slow to get up and ended up being electrocuted. She then dodged a sudden swipe from Bonecracker. He swung again and again and on the third swing, Mitta caught his hoof and smashed it into Bonecracker's face, knocking him down. The third thug tried to buck her, so Mitta flipped him over into the wall. He hit his head and slid down. She punched the first thug and then bucked the second. At this point, Bonecracker got frustrated and charged at her. Mitta dodged and allowed him to hit the railing. He was stunned for a moment, so he didn't notice the floor sparking. By the time the other thugs and Mitta had gotten to safety, he found himself being electrocuted. He yelled for a bit before the floor stopped. His hooves allowed him to still be standing, but by now, he was getting angry. Mitta had other problems at the moment, as the third thug was trying to throw a fire extinguisher at her. Mitta caught it and threw it back. The thug wasn't so quick and got hit by it, knocking him out. Bonecracker got up and swung at Mitta, who dodged the blow and punched his face. The second thug got hit by the Claw and had his face slammed into the ground, knocking him out. The first thug tried to punch her again, but had his foreleg broken. He soon passed out from the pain. Bonecracker moved in with a swing. Mitta dodged and threw another thrower at him. Stunned, he didn't react as Mitta bucked him. Seething, Bonecracker charged at Mitta again. She dodged and leapt from the panel as it sparked. Bonecracker slowed down and quickly realised what was about to happen. Too late though, as he was electrocuted and knocked out. Above her, Pinkamena was getting impatient. It wasn't as if she didn't know that she was going to lose. Arkham Asylum ended with Joker losing, so obviously this story was going to end the same. That didn't mean she wasn't going to try, though. She still had seven thugs. She reckoned she could do this. "Alright, you asked for it!" Pinkamena yelled. "Get ready for the pain!" At this, she quickly made her way down and got with the seven remaining thugs as the doors opened again. Atmosphere looked at his creation so far. It wasn't his best work, given his working materials. It would do however. He hadn't heard from his minions since he had sent them all to recapture Intensive Treatment. He had heard that Mare-Do-Well was going after the Warden, whom Pinkamena had taken into the penitentiary. That meant that the hold up wasn't her. It meant that Pinkamena's goons were putting up a better resistance that he had reckoned, or his Factory Workers had simply gotten themselves killed. He was fine by this. All he would do was send in more thugs if the previous ones had messed up. At this point, the radio picked up a call. Atmosphere picked it up and said, "This better be important." "We've gotten back Intensive Treatment boss." One of his thugs replied. Atmosphere smirked. "Good. Set up a sniper somewhere. Make it so that no-pony can get in." "Where do we put him?" "I don't care. Just make sure that Mare-Do-Well won't be able to get in." There was a small pause after this. "Is she coming, boss?" The thug replied nervously. "Not right now, but she will. So set up some sort of defensive pact." Atmosphere hung up. "Atmos?" Atmosphere turned. "I assume you want to get into Intensive Treatment, Mindworks?" "Yes. I have formulated the ultimate fear gas." Fear Feeder replied, his mask off. "The princesses wouldn't be able to block out its effects, let alone a common pony like Mare-Do-Well!" "You know what happened the last time you said that, right?" Atmosphere replied. "This will work! I am sure of it!" Feeder insisted. "There is no physically possible way that anything could block out the effects." "...Very well." Atmosphere said hesitantly. "Shall I set up an escort?" "No need. I can handle myself." "Good. I'm heading over to the Gardens, and I need all the stallions I can get." Pinkamena blinked experimentally to see if her brain was still working. It was, which surprised her. She expected to have concussion. Mitta roughly forced her up, making her snap, "Oi! Hooves off!" Mitta noticed a piece of paper taped to her horn. She grabbed it. Pinkamena immediately said, "Hey, hey! Manners, Mares!" "Quiet." Mitta said coldly. She scanned the paper, which had the heading 'party list' on the top. On it was everypony Mitta had encountered. Dr Atmosphere, Bonecracker, Serpent, Fear Feeder, Arachnid and Beast. There were some other names as well, mostly of super-criminals that were imprisoned here that had previously escaped. They were the ones that were crossed out. The names of the ponies that were here had smiley faces next to their names. "Why the smiles next to certain names?" Mitta asked forcefully. Pinkamena giggled. "I thought you were the detective here." Mitta frowned. Then she grabbed Pinkamena's hoof and scanned it with her Cryptographic Sequencer. Then she forced Pinkamena into a cell. Pinkamena went in without comment, although she did say, "Good luck finding old Atmos. He's in the secret lab in the Gardens and-" She suddenly stopped in mock surprise. "Oopsie!" "I know." Mitta replied, walking out the door. Pinkamena waited a bit since Mitta left, then giggled to herself, pulling a file out of nowhere. "Lesson 1: Never leave a fourth-wall breaker alone in a cage."
