//------------------------------// // Secrets Part 2 // Story: Skyworld // by LikeaBaws //------------------------------// You slowly woke up...but... Why were your hooves stuck in chains? You look at your hooves and you play with the chains. "Hey man." You hear in front. This stallion was dark blue and a black porcupine comb over as well as his small tail. His cutie mark was two blades and it looks like he barely eats. "Welcome to Stallion Slavery Prison." the stallion says. "What?" You say. You look behind and see at least 70-100 stallions lined up in a row. "Why is every stallion here?" You ask. "Ever heard of the mare Bubble Gum?" he asked. "Yeah." You say. "She captures stallions so she can see the perfect stallion for her. If he's not right for her, he usually get's sent to his cell for years." he says. "For how long?" You asked. "Usually 5-10 years." he says. "No...no no no no! I have to get out of here!" You say to yourself and as you scratch your cheek. "Hey man. Keep walking, your holding my leg." he says. You look to your hoof to where the chains lead...which was his leg. "Sorry." You say. "BTW, names Blades." he says. "Anonymous." You say. You reach far enough to the gate and see whole lot of mares. Most of them stare at you and most of them cheer for you. "Hey...how do you get out of here?" You ask. "You can't." Blade says. "Not one stallion made it out of here alive, man. Usually gets captured and sent to his cell...or dies. But I know every inch of this place. I just need a bud." "I can help you." You say. He looks back at you with curiosity. "You can?" he asked. "Yeah." You say as you look at the mares. "If you help me get out of here, than I can do you a favor. Win win." "Deal?" Blades asked. "Deal." You say. You reach to the door and you feel a slight push on you. "Name?" the mare ask. "Anonymous." You say. She nods and you keep heading forward. You reach a large room that could probably fit two stallions in each room. Loads of cells wait for each and every one of them and you and Blades approach yours. You and Blades walk in the cell as you look out the small bar windows. You see, at least 20 miles, was Town Square. You realized that you were in Central Mare and you sigh. "Crud. Town Square is 20 miles away from us." You say. "Hey, don't worry. We'll get out." Blades said. You look around you cell as you see two bunks and a no-private toilet. "Wait." you say. "I have a plan." "What is it?" He ask. "Got a knife on you?" You asked. "Butter knifes. They don't trust us with regular knives." Blades said as he brought out a butter knife. "Got two?" You ask. He brings out another one out of thin air and you smile. He passes you the butter knife and you bring out the mattress. "What are you doing?" Blades asked. You cut the mattress long enough for Blades to fit in. "Okay, so I'm gonna dig a hole. I want you to get inside, and when they move the bed, they'll think we jumped into the hole. They're gonna jump in, but they'll be trapped! So we leave the the mattress that's not cut because they're gonna check the beds. Once they fall in, we cut through the not-cut mattress and we leave this room. Okay?" You say the entire plan. "Awesome." He says. Blades gets in the mattress and he slides in until he feels like a natural mattress. You pick the heavy mattress and rest the cut facing downwards. You do the same thing to your bunk and you move the bed. You use your metal butter knife as you keep stabbing the ground. Your surprised that it took you five hours to make a hole small enough for them to get stuck, but big enough for you to get out. You get out, but you see shadows. Crap... You thought as you quickly hide into your mattress. "I'm telling you." You hear. "That Anonymous guy is so cute!" "Yeah yeah, whatever." You hear the second voice. You hear the cell open and it was quiet for a few seconds, but then you heard fear. "Where did Blades and Anonymous go?!" You hear the second voice say. "They couldn't of just left like...look!" You heard the first voice say. You feel the bunks move slowly and it stops seven seconds later. "They dugged under the hole!" You heard the first voice say again. "Come on! Let's jump in and catch them!" You heard the second voice say. It was quiet again...but you heard pain as you cut the mattress once again. Blades came out as well with a smile. You look through the hold and saw the mares far below. "Hello ladies! Hope you liked being trapped, because you'll be stuck there forever!" You say as you put the two mattress on the hole to muffle the sound. "Alright. Follow." Blades say. You two leave the cell room and walk through the huge room. You find a hallway and motion Blades if it's that way. He nods and you follow him, but you find the Office Room. "I'll go in there, just don't get caught." You say. Blades nods as he goes back where he came. You enter the dark office room and shadows filled the area. It was dark in the corners and you looked around the room. The room was dark and it had a house plant sitting in one corner. The desk was the only that that made the place small and the air was stuffy. You look through the desk in each cabinets and later you found the key. "Bingo." You whisper to yourself. You see the door knob slowly turning and your brain acted by jumping into a corner...which led you into face planting into a wall. "...what about Anonymous? He's seems like a real hottie." the mare says. "Not a chance. That loser stallion was rejecting me!" the other mare said. Apparently, you realized that the boss was Bubble Gum. "Maybe because he just wasn't ready for a mare yet. Maybe he was busy." the mare said. "Did you see the way he was looking at me? He's clearly looking for a mare." Bubble says. I seriously need to tell Twilight about this. You thought. "Well...let's say that Anonymous got out of his cell. What would you do?" the mare asked nervously. "Hunt him down...even if Skyworld falls. Why?" Bubble asked. "Just wondering." the mare said. "And...hah! Found ya!" Bubble said, now finding the key to your cell. "Come on, let's go find Anonymous." The two left and so did you, but you saw Blades at the other end of the hallway. You meet him there and he smiles. "Got the key?" Blades asked. You show the key and he cheers quietly. "Alright, so we have two choices. That key works in the infirmary, but we need a nurse who can let us out, 'cause one stallion tried to get out that way and he got caught. Or we can take the entrance, but we'll get caught more easily than we should." Blades said. "Infirmary." You say. You follow him to the infirmary and once you enter... ...it was nuts. "GET HIM OVER THERE!" "THIS STALLIONS BLEEDING!" I'VE BEEN SHOT WITH INSANITY!" "What the..." You say loud enough for Blades to hear, but quiet enough for the nurses to not spot you. The room was nurses running room to room, and them just saving stallions lives. Clothes and belts flew all over the place and one hit you in the face. It smelt like a elephants arm pits mixed with a basketball's players shoes. You throw the cloth somewhere 10 feet away from you in disgust. "Over there!" Blades pointed at a cart of laundry. You both jump in and it fit both you and Blades. It gave a hard jolt, but it ran smoothly after that. "We did it...we did it!" Blades whispered to you. "Yes! We did it!" You said. The cart stopped and you guys poke your heads out of the clothes to see... "Nurse Blueheart?" You asked. "Anonymous?" She asked. "What are you doing here? And why are you in a cart of laundry?" "Bubble Gum captured both of us...and we escaped." You explained. "Escaped?! No stallion ever escaped alive out of Stallion Slavery Prision! How?!" Blueheart asked. You was about to say something, but voices was heard. "I'll tell you later. Just get us out of here!" You say, but Blueheart panicked. "I can't! I'll be fired!" Blueheart said. You never thought you say this during pressure before...but, "I'll go on a date with you if you get us out of here!" You say. "Fine! But if you tell me how you got out, then I'll explain why Bubble Gum is being a prick." Blueheart said. You hide in the clothes as you hear the conversation. "Are you talking to a piece of laundry?" a voice asked. "No...just going insane with the patients." Blueheart says. "Makes sense. Well...hope you have a good day tommorow." the voice said. "You too." Blueheart said. The cart started again and it took about 5 minutes before the cart collided like crashing into a wall. "Okay. You guys are free. Date tommorow. Promise?" Blueheart asked. "Promise." You say. "I can't believe we made it out alive!" Blades said with a cheer. "Good, 'cause you might wanna start running." Blueheart said. "Why?" You ask. But then you remember something. Bubble Gum found the key to your cell. The alarm went off and the siren made the noise loud enough for everypony to hear. "RUN!" Blade yelled. "DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME TWICE!" You yell in fear as you and Blades took off. You run through the endless road of clouds and, behind you, you see thousands of guards chasing you and Blade down. While you were running, you see a machine that ran on four wheels. "Get in the car!" Blades ordered. "What's a car?!" You asked. "Just get in the stupid thing!" He ordered. You open the door and you sit in a uncomfortable position. "How do you sit like this?" You ask. "You'll get used to it." He says. He started the vehicle and it drove so fast, you was ditching the guards. "Yeah! They can't even catch us now!" You say with happiness. You guys make it into Stallion Park and the car slowly stopped. "Crud, we ran out of fuel." Blades said. "Then keep running!" You yell. You both get out of the car, but you see the five mares you was being chased earlier. "Son of a-!" "Finish that later!" Blades said as he forcefully grab you. You guys ran for your life and you see Town Square. "Where to now?!" Blades asked. "Got a place to live?" You asked. "Not really." Blades said. "Then follow me!" You say. You head to the right and you slowly left the mares by the dust. You see the porch, but you also see weapons being thrown at you. You make a hard right, away from the porch, and so does Blades. The mares follow, but you run through the crowd. You run out of the crowd a few minutes later and so does Blades. You see the porch once again and you jump through the porch door, scaring the mane six. "Anonymous! Where were-!" "Shh!" You cover Twilight's mouth as you see the shadows out the porch. Blades closes the door and you see the five mares searching, but they got tired and searched somewhere else. (Stop the music here, if the music is still going. If it finish, then continue) You and Blades sigh in relief..but was mare-slapped by Twilight. "OW! What?!" You ask. "Where were you?" Twilight asked. "It's a long story involving a crazy mare, weapons, and a whole lot of chasing. But right now, me and Blades are gonna sleep." You say, but was now slapped by Rainbow. "OW! Stop that!" You yell in pain. "Tell us where you were, bub, or your gonna feel the wrath of my hoof!" Rainbow yelled in your face. "Yeah! You was gone, like, a year!" Pinkie said. "It's only been a day." Applejack said. "Fine, but you probably won't believe me." You say. You explain what happened in a tired manner, but at the end, you explain why Blades is gonna be staying with you. "And that's pretty much it." You finish. "You were like a spy! Sneaky and all night vision-y!" Pinkie said. "And where's your proof, you know, besides Blades?" Twilight asked. "Okay...are you telling me that you didn't see a whole bunch of mares, outside with weapons?" You ask. Twilight rolled her eyes and walked to her sleeping bag. "Ah don't trust you, Anonymous, but you earned my apology." Applejack said, then walked to her bag "I forgive you, Anon!" Pinkie says. "Anon?" You ask. "Short for Anonymous, silly!" She says. She walks away from you with a smile. "I got an eye on you...traitor!" Rainbow says as she flys to her sleeping bag. "Just be careful , darling. My friends are a little protective." Rarity said as she went to her bag. Fluttershy was last, but she whispered something in your ear. "I'll always believe in you, Anon." Fluttershy said, then gave you a small peck on the cheek. She walks over to her sleeping bag with a blush. "Anywhere I can sleep?" Blades asked. "Yeah...um...we have the couch." You say. "Neat, well...goodnight." Blades said, then jumps on the couch with laziness. You get into your bag, but you couldn't help but remember the peck Fluttershy gave you. Why was it so important than from the rest? Maybe it was friendship that made it important.
