//------------------------------// // BONUS 1: Pinkie Pie // Story: TERMINAL5 // by Master Lyra //------------------------------// A/N: Heads up, the bonus chapters will be done out of the normal fashion and will not be necessary to read. Although they will fill some plot holes. Also, you are going to hate me. But it’ll be okay. *snap* Pinkie Pie watched as the camera was snapped off its place on the wall. Ice Cream now had a very pleased look on his face as he held the now sparking camera. Though her face showed no signs of it, Pinkie was worried. How can anypony forget their name? She thought, observing Ice Cream happily smash the used to be camera into a wall. He…she…it whatever is pretty violent. I wonder if it’s a side effect of the ga- WARNING: SECURITY THREAT IN SECTOR 3! WARNING: SECURITY THREAT IN SECTOR 3! The pink pony didn’t need to be told thrice. She had already grabbed her two new friends, hauled them on her back, and bolted right out of the prison room. The flashing red lights and loud sirens were meant to disorient the most likely escapee, but Pinkie Pie, the party animal, was quite used to it. The aforementioned pony was rounding corners at random, not really knowing where she was headed. The trip was made long and eerie, no thanks to the empty hallways and the sleeping creatures on her back. After what seemed like hours of running, she reached a door that blatantly said: EXIT “Yes!” Pinkie squealed, finally happy to be able to relieve her load. She put all of her energy into sprinting towards the door, bucked it open and… …found herself in a room full of the angry looking creatures. Oh darn. So close. About ten of them slid long looking tubes onto their shoulder and yelled “Fire!” Ten missiles went straight towards the stunned pony and sleeping creatures. The missiles were dead on. Everyone in the room covered their ears when the huge boom penetrated the air. Soot flew out everywhere, and smoke made everyone cough. Medics walked up the gas, expecting to find dead bodies. But when the gas cleared, it showed two sleeping creatures and a stunned pink pony. Pinkie and the gang were almost comically covered in soot. Pinkie Pie blinked three times, shook her coat out, and giggled. It was not a nice giggle. Pinkie Pie giggled more, leaving the whole room stunned and actually scared. Finally, she stopped the display and said: “That was pretty funny! Lemme try now!” As quick as a rabbit in a sugar high, Pinkie kicked the tube out of one of the creatures hands jumped up, and fired it at the group. Pinkie only saw a leg fly out in front of her before she fell to the ground, face first. She blacked out. ***UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME LATTER*** Her vision slowly returned, almost lazily. Pinkie jerked her head left and right. She was in a spotlessly white room, only interrupted by a chair and a light dangling overhead. Pinkie Pie then noticed she was laying belly up, bound by numerous restraints and gagged. Pinkie Pie tested them and tried yelling to no avail. She was just left there to brood over what had happened. I hope everypony is okay, especially my new friends. Maybe they’re bound up like me. I hope the creatures didn’t hurt them. As if almost on cue, muffled screaming came from somewhere else. Oh no… I wonder if Twilight could- my friends! Where are they? Am I the only one in this world? If they’re here I hope they’re okay… I just wish I wasn’t alone… Pinkie Pie’s brooding was interrupted by the sound of opening doors. The pony strained to turn her head towards the source. It was one of the creatures from the room. He held some sort of collar and a remote in his hands. The party pony stayed uncharacteristically quiet as he placed the collar around her neck. The creature then sat down in the chair and ungagged her. Pinkie started talking a mile a minute. “Hi! I’m Pinkie Pie! What’s your name? What are you? Where are we? Are my friends here? Are they hurt? Why am I tied up? Will I be untiARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” The creature had pressed the button on the remote and it sent electrical shocks throughout Pinkie Pie’s body. He left it on for five seconds before turning it off and leaving a gasping pony in its wake. “Whoa! I think your prank device has too many volts!” She said, still gasping. The creature gave a dark chuckle and shook his head. “Pony, you’ll have to learn I ask the questions. Now shut up and let me talk.” After hearing nothing more from the pony, he spoke more. “Good. Killing men is punishable by law, let alone twenty men at the same time in cold blood. That will get you executed. However, if you answer some of my questions then we’ll let you live.” Pinkie Pie’s pupils shrank down to pinpricks. Her usual smile turned into a fearful frown.  “I…I killed somepony?” The creature smiled. “Twenty people. With a rocket launcher.” Pinkie Pie’s mane and tail deflated instantly. Her frown drooped lower, her lips quivering. She started bawling shamelessly in front of the man, her tears streaking down her body. I killed somepony. I killed somepony. I killed 20 someponies. I…I’m evil… My friends would hate me… My family would hate me… I… I’ve disgraced the Pie name… The only way to halfway repay for this would be… “*sniff* Just…Just let m...me die…” The man’s smile faltered to a frown for a moment. But as soon as it was gone, it came back. “Hmm… I don’t know pony. We were planning on bringing your friends to you…” Pinkie Pie instantly squirmed. “NO! THEY CAN’T KNOW!  THEY WILL HATE ME FOREVER! I NEED TO DIE PEACEFULLY WITHOUT THEM KNOWING!” She screamed, tears flying around everywhere as she violently shook her head. The man just laughed. “Okay Pie. We’ll do just that.” He stood up and walked out the same way he came. There was a man in a surgeon’s outfit on the other side. The man whispered to the doctor: “I broke her. Just go and dissect her.” The doctor gave a nervous smile before nodding and walked towards the door. But once he got there, he hesitated. “Did she really kill anyone?” The doctor asked. The man laughed. “Nope.”
