"DAMNIT!" I shouted, as i could feel the headache building. And i still had no new way of getting fresh air. I started to push the rock, as hard as i could, hoping it would move, so i could get just a small amount of air, so i could clear my head.
"ARE YOU OKAY?" The voice asked, still doing her best to dig towards me, as i dig towards her.
"NO, YOU HAVE MORE FRESH AIR THAN ME!" I shouted, continuing to mine again, as pushing had no effect.
"THEN CONSERVE YOUR AIR!" She shouted back. "I'M ALMOST THROUGH I THINK!" She sounded very tired by now, considering it had been nonstop mining for about 3 minutes, i can understand it.
"NO! THE FASTER WE BOTH DIG, THE GREATER CHANCE WE BOTH MAKE IT!" I shouted back, doing my best to keep my head clear, and continue mining. As my vision was getting more and more blurry.
"BUT IF YOU RUN OUT OF AIR BEFORE I REACH YOU, THE LESS CHANCE THERE IS THAT I WILL MAKE IT!" She shouted back, at this point i was rather pissed at life, it had been great here in Equestria all things considering, and now it was coming to an end, one i would rather not see.
"GOD FUCKING DAMNIT!" i screamed at the top of my lungs, tossing my pickaxe aside, and started to glare at the rock, just wishing it was gone, so i could get some fresh air. Then something amazing happened, my vision got even more blurry, but only while looking at the rock. "What the hell?" i asked myself, before it disappeared into thin air, and a gust of air hit me.
"How did that just happen?" The feminine voice asked. who i now recognized as Deep Digger's Daughter. She was still not very well at digging, but she did her best, trying to get her father's approval.
"I have no clue, but I'm glad it did or i might have died." i said, looking at her. "What are you doing down in 12C?" I asked her, looking at her leg.
"I thought it had been deemed safe, so i decided to get some minerals." She said, looking away with red cheeks.
"Get over here, let me see that leg, and also, i doubt that, what were you really doing?" i said, motioning for her to come closer.
"Okay, but dont tell my dad okay?" she said, as she slowly moved towards me, keeping her weight off her bad leg.
"Depends on what you were doing, its dangerous to be down here you know" I shot her a smile, as i slowly moved my hand along her leg, to get an idea of the damage.
"I know it is, which is why I'm here, i was trying to fix the supports for the ceiling, hoping my dad would stop making me mine, and get me on support duty." she replied.
"Ahh, not much of a miner are you?" i asked her, looking around for some pieces of wood so i could make a brace or something to help keep the weight of her leg.
"No, my dad is one of the best, but i can hardly Dig a hole in the ground, without it going wrong" She said, looking down.
"I was not much of a miner when i got here you know" i said to her, trying to lift her mood.
"Wait, are you lying right now?" she asked, a confused look on her face.
"Nope, i learned it after i got a job here, never had a use for it back home, since i did something else." i replied, keeping my past from her.
"Really?" she asked.
"I'm telling the truth, like i said, never had a use for it back home, and why would i lie to you?" I asked her, bopping her nose. for some reason it always made me smile, when the ponies scrunched up their nose.
"You could try to keep me in a good mood" She said, with a deadpan expression.
"I could, or i could distract you from the massive pain i just inflicted on your leg" I said, as i finished a small brace by tightening the rope.
"YOUCH!" she screamed, almost hitting me with her hoof.
"Sorry, had to be done, at least now you can walk somewhat normally, now to get us out" I said looking at the rock behind us.
"That hurt you know!" she shouted at me, hitting me with her hoof.
"Yeah i know, had to be done, lets see" i said, picking up my pickaxe, and giving a test swing.
*pling*
"What was that?" She asked.
"Bad news, its solid crystals, i cant mine it with this pickaxe" i said, tossing it aside.
"So we are trapped in here until rescue arrives?" she asked, looking down at her hooves.
"Maybe, I'm gonna try something, but i have no clue what might happen, so stay behind me okay?" I said, looking back at the crystal. "If this works, Deep might fire me"
"Why?" She asked, as she moved behind me.
"Because i might make it do the same as the rock did, disappear" I replied, trying to focus on the crystal, not being there.
"Wait, YOU DID THAT?" She asked, raising her voice.
"I dont know, i was wishing the rock was gone, and it started to get blurry and poof, gone" I said, still focusing on the crystal not being there.
"Wow" She simply said, i opened my eyes to see if it was working, and behold, nothing, no blurry look, still there.
"Damn, maybe if i do it like this" I said, getting my anger level raised, and once again focused on it being gone.
"Are you doing that?" She asked, as i opened my eyes, and the rock was starting to get blurry.
"I think so." i said, moving towards it, picking up my pickaxe on the way.
slowly, i stuck the pickaxe towards it, hoping to nudge it, but it went right through.
"Freaky" i said, as i tossed the pickaxe through. and just as i did, it disappeared, just like the other rock. And right there, on the other side was Deep Digger, looking as worried as he could.
"DAD!" she shouted, running towards him, as i slowly moved towards the rest of the crew as well.
"Someone wanna tell me what unicorn just did that?" a male voice said.
"I think i did it, but I'm not sure yet, i need to test it more before i can be certain" I replied to the group.
"I dont care, you saved my little girl, and for that, you have my thanks" Deep Digger said, still holding his daughter in his hooves.
