Back at the Facility, Pinkie, Rare, and Scoots wind up running for their lives with Chell as Wheately tries to KILL them.
“You just HAD to provoke him!”, Scootaloo scolded Pinkie Pie.
“It was an accident!”, Pinkie defended. “How was I to know he didn’t like being called a moron?!”
“You have GOT to be KIDDING me!”, GLaDOS groaned. “That’s how he was DESIGNED, you fool!”
“Thank you!”, Pinkie said, much to Chell’s confusion.
And that’s when the floor gave out, and they fell into a room filled with servers and old computers. Thankfully they were fine, and there were no cameras, so Wheately couldn’t see any of them.
“WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?!!”, Wheately screamed. “I WILL FIND YOU!! YOU CAN’T HIDE FOREVER!!”
“We have to do something!”, GLaDOS explained. “If we let that little idiot stay in control of the facility any longer, this place WILL self-destruct!”
“Yeah, we know”, Scootaloo blurted.
“Well, we can’t just hide here!”, Rarity stood up. “We have to stop that core by working together! Only then can we find that virus!”
They all agreed and put their hands & hooves together. They jumped out of the room and prepared to fight.
Cue an epic action scene where the five organisms fight the turrets, traps, “mashy spike plates”, and everything else. Rarity used her magic to hold deadly obstacles in place, Pinkie used her randomness to teleport to different parts of the facility, Scoots used her speed to bypass multiple cameras and while she couldn’t fly, she could glide, and of course, you know how strong Chell is.
Eventually, they made it to the room with the corrupted cores, and after walking down the bridge, they went into the elevator, plugged GLaDOS into the core transfer system, and entered Wheatley’s lair.
“Well well well! You managed to survive my wrath!”, Wheatley mocked. “Congratulations on making it this far, but it will only be a matter of time b-”
“You talk too much!”, Rarity interrupted as she used her magic to pull Wheatley out of the core, and the core transfer was a quick success.
“Rats…”, Wheatley groaned before shutting off.
“Well, thanks for getting me back into my body”, GLaDOS thanked.
“Anytime!”, Pinkie replied. “Goodbye!”
“No Pinkie”, Rarity reminded. “We need to find that virus!”
“Found it!”, Scootaloo announced as she stared through a vent. Everyone else ran towards her, and they saw the virus slither into a tunnel that was labeled “Teardown”.

We see an overview of the Portal 2 section of the gaming district, before panning right where we get to see the Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 section and the Teardown section. The camera stops at the border between Teardown and BeamNG.drive, where Applejack and Fluttershy carry Sweetie Belle out of the painfully dangerous BeamNG lands.
“Finally! We’re out of that hot spot!”, Fluttershy panted.
“It looks like this isn’t gonna be as easy as we thought!”, Applejack added.
“We’re not from here!”, Sweetie exclaimed. “These guys can easily respawn! If WE die, we STAY dead!”
“This area of Teardown is offline! We shouldn’t run into any more players as of now!”, Applejack explained.
Sweetie was now strong enough to walk on her own without having to be carried, so they walked across the land.
After a while walking from field to field, they found the Abandoned Subway Map.
“Hello? Anyone here?”, Applejack asked.
“This place scares me!”, Fluttershy mentioned. “Are you sure we should be searching here?”
“Well, I think if the virus is hiding anywhere, it’s most likely hiding where nobody can see it or would think to look!”
And just like that, the virus slithered out of the tunnel, scaring the trio of ponies.
“OH MA GOODNESS THERE IT IS!!”, Applejack shouted. “GRAB IT!”
Sweetie Belle immediately tried to freeze the virus using her magic, albeit missing every shot. Fluttershy then used her stare, but that also didn’t work as the virus had no eyes.
After multiple failed attempts at stopping the virus, the trio of ponies retreated as the virus grew BIGGER.
Eventually, they found a hydrodam, and Applejack had an idea. She bucked a part of the wall, and it started cracking before collapsing.
“Quick thinking Applejack!”, Fluttershy exclaimed.
The water then carried the virus into another sewer grate.
“Oops”, Applejack frowned.

We zoom through the pipes of the land, ending at the abandoned subway tunnel, where Twilight, Rainbow, and AB search for the mural once more.
“We’ve been walking for HOURS!”, Apple Bloom whined. “How much longer till we FIND this dumb mural?!”
“Patience”, Twilight replied. “We aren’t gonna find it right away, but we will eventually. We just ne-”
“Found it!”, Rainbow shouted.
“Already?”, Twilight questioned as they ran towards her.
And low and behold, the mural was right there completely intact.
Twilight took a good look at the mural, analyzing what everything meant, eventually realizing who created the virus.
“Holy Celestia! 13en did this?!!”, she yelled out.
“Yes, I did!”, said an ominous voice. Can you guess who it is- It’s 13enjamin Marshall. WHO DID YOU THINK IT WAS?!
“We have already captured all your friends! You guys are coming with me!”
“You dirty lying son of a-”, Rainbow started.
“Zip it! I’m doing this for a good reason, I swear!”, 13en interrupted.
After explaining the plan, again, they… No, they were still mad.
“You will NOT get away with this!”, Apple Bloom shouted.
“Apple Bloom is RIGHT!! Prepare to-”, Twilight started as she lit her horn up before it got cuffed by 13en’s robots.
“I don’t think so!”, 13en demanded as he used his powers to teleport them all back to his HQ.
