// Preparation         //------------------------------//


Twilight walked out of the cryogenic chamber, she was sleeping in the chamber for nine years. Twilight's memory is also gone, but unlike Rainbow Dash Twilight's memory wasn't erased, it has just been locked away in her brain. The cryogenic chamber effects the brain if in the chamber for too long. If somepony is in the chamber for four years or more the memories the pony had before entering the chamber gets blocked out and it's very hard to release/access. Twilight was placed in chamber 519 about eleven months after Rainbow Dash's robot changing surgery. Celestia and Luna decided to put Twilight in the chamber after what would happened to Rainbow Dash, Celestia wanted the elements of harmony to be together at all times.
"W-where am I? How did I get here" Twilight was confused, and was looking around the room trying to figure out where she was. "Who are you? Why cant I remember anything?"      
"Twilight, we need you and your high inteligence so we can stop the evil A.I D.I.S.C.O.R.D, he is taking over the laboratory and soon the whole facility. So get yourself cleaned up and put on this new jumpsuit," CELesTIA pulled out the newest orange jumpsuit, a mane brush and a damp cloth to clean Twilight's face. Twilight put on the new jumpsuit, brushed her mane and cleaned herself up nine years in cryogenic sleep doesn't do wonders on a unicorn's face. "Ok Twilight just say when your ready and i'll take you to the testing areas. At the bottom there is supposed to be six items that are possibly the only way to defeat D.I.S.C.O.R.D so time is not really on our side." 
"HAHAHA! You're putting your faith in this purple unicorn thats so precious. Ok, i'll play along at the end of chamber one i've placed an item that might help you reach your goal. Ready when you are Twilight." D.I.S.C.O.R.D was listening to the whole conversation, and at that momment D.I.S.C.O.R.D's face appeared on one of the giant screens used to show the danger level around the facility. "I'll give twenty minutes to get ready. Then the testing will begin. MWHAHA." D.I.S.C.O.R.D was obviously enjoying the idea of Twilight going after these six unknown relics. The screen that had D.I.S.C.O.R.D on it just turned black and a twenty minute countdown replaced his face.
Twilight used her magic to grab the brush that CELesTIA gave her. She brushed her mane, put on the new orange jumpsuit, then Twilight looked at the screen to see how much time is left. "8 miuntes till time is up..." Twilight looked back down at the ground and thought about something, (why me? Why was I choosen? I cant let the princess down though.) "Ok im almost ready! Lets get those six things and use them to bring back Celestia Laboratories back to its normal state!" Twilight suddenly had a boost of enthusiasm. 
"Yes! But there is something I forgot to mention. The six relics aren't useable by just one pony, you need multible. And I dont know the exact ponies needed... but I do know you and Pinkie Pie here are needed, but I dont know the other four." CELesTIA told Twilight some rather important news. 
Twilight got kinda angry but she kept it in, then she turned around to look a Pinkie, the bubbly personality core was just giggling and rolling around the floor, Twilight couldn't help but smile. "So Pinkie and I hmm? Do you know at least if the others are in this Laboratory or not?" Twilight was now getting stressed out knowing there was only 3 minutes left until D.I.S.C.O.R.D returns. (How can Pinkie be so oblivious to everything around her?) Twilight couldn't help but think about Pinkie and her ways.
"No. I'm unaware if the other four are her or not. I dont even know if they're still alive. But it is possible for them to be like Pinkie there," CELesTIA said rushing every word also being aware of the time like Twilight.
"What a personality core that doesn't care what happens around her?" Twilight was trying to be funny and serious at the same time. It has been a long time since Twilight spoke to anypony or even a robot for that matter. Yet again Twilight turned around to look at Pinkie.
"A, B, C, D, E, F, umm... G" Pinkie Pie was now saying the alphabet, still oblivious to everything around her.
Twilight was so confused now. There is a high level A.I not giving her any info, the other A.I in LunA just doing nothing really and of course Pinkie not noticing her surroundings in the slightest. "*sigh* Ok. I guess im ready to go do some of D.I.S.C.O.R.D's tests or whatever now" Twilight lost the enthusiasm she had about 10 minutes ago.
The counter hit zero; D.I.S.C.O.R.D reappeared. "Time is up. It is time to start testing. But first go through this door." D.I.S.C.O.R.D moved some of the wall panels to show a door behind it. "And walk to the end of the hallway. At the end is a room with a little device that will help you with the tests I have planned. HAHAHA... Comeback once it is in your position return and then it will begin." D.I.S.C.O.R.D had something planned but Twilight didn't really care, all Twilight wanted is for the princess' laboratory back intact without an evil robot having control over it.
Twilight used her magic to open the door. (Great here comes a corridor as long as I can see) Twilight thought to herself. The door opened. "Huh... its about 10 metres far. Who know?" Twilight walked through the door and as soon as Twilight's whole body was in D.I.S.C.O.R.D closed the door and only a little circle hole was left. "HEY OPEN THE DOOR" but Twilights screaming was in vein, Twilight knew he wouldn't open it. A door at the end of the corridor opened up. Twilight ran down the hallway into this white room. The room had no windows, no features just a door and a podium with a white gun type thing on it. "What in the name of Celestia is this?" Twilight picked up the gun and place her hoof in the hole with a handle at the end of it. She pressed something on the inside of the gun. A little blue light came on, on top of this unknown gun and a blue hole appeared on the wall. "W-what did I just do?" Twilight walked over to the blue hole and touched it... but nothing happened it was just like a blue paint drop on the wall. "So i pressed this button. Hmm... What about this other one?" Twilight aimed the gun at the roof and pushed the other one. This time an orange light appeared on the top of the gun and an orange hole appeared on the roof. Twilight screamed a little. "What did I do? There is now two of me but I can only see the side of her... or me. Twilight looked back at the blue hole. "Wait a momment now I can see her like in a birds eye view." Twilight walked over to this mystery hole and put her hoof through it. Twilight turned around and looked up, Twilight could see her hoof. "This gun makes portals it seems but thats not possible... is it?" Twilight walked though the portal and fell, luckly the boots she woke up in were shock absorb boots making any distance she falls from under 400 metres will have no impact on Twilight at all. She landed right under the orange portal. "Yep its a portal gun. But why would D.I.S.C.O.R.D give me this? I have my magic." Twilight walked back out the door and remembered she was locked out.
"Open the door D.I.S.C.O.R.D!" CELesTIA was being demanding to D.I.S.C.O.R.D, "how can she do your 'tests' if Twilight is locked in there?"
"If Twilight gets the device that is placed in there and figures out what it does Twilight will be out in no time." D.I.S.C.O.R.D had everything planned out it seemed. That 20 minutes they were given must of been used to plan out what he was going to do next.
Twilight stood infront of the door for a little while trying to think what to do next. "Oh. Wait I know what to do," Twilight basically jumped up realising what she had to do. Twilight turned around and fired a blue portal at the white wall back in the room she found the portal device, and then fired the orange portal though the little circle left in the door. Twilight ran back to the white room and stepped though the portal. Twilight was back in the room with Pinkie and the two A.Is.
"Bravo Twilight maybe you are as smart as some ponies say you are." D.I.S.C.O.R.D seemed like he was impressed but wasn't really impressed at all, D.I.S.C.O.R.D knew Twilight would pass. "Well done Twilight you passed my first test and you also got the portal device. Wonderful."
"How do you all know me? I want answers before I start any of your petty tests," now Twilight was the one getting demanding. And just like before Pinkie is still just rolling on the ground. "W-w-what? How can you just not notice anything?" Now Twilight was confused and curious. "Oh never mind. Now tell me! Surely one of you robotic know-it-alls know the answer!"
"Oh Twilight, everything will become clear so enough," D.I.S.C.O.R.D moved more wall panels and the hallway to the testing chambers were exposed. "Now go. You dont want to disapoint your princess do you?"
"Fine lets get this over with," Twilight walked though the wall opening and towards the test chambers. Twilight stopped in her tracks, turned around and ran back. "You; Pinkie are coming with me!" Twilight used her magic to pick up Pinkie and Twilight walked back though the opening once again.
"OH and Twilight keep your eyes open no pony has been down here in years, and there is some things you'll need done there for you relic thingys. I'll guide you though the test chambers but will not communicate once you are doing them." D.I.S.C.O.R.D was very relaxed considering what ever is at the bottom will defeat him and his wiring.
(Why is D.I.S.C.O.R.D so calm about everything... Maybe those so called relics aren't even down there...) Twilight had a sudden thought that could change everything, (but what if they are down there and i just give up and everything gets taken away because of that evil robot!? No i must contiune on.) Twilight ran for a little while, then was forced to stop because of a closed door.
"One extra group member is around in the next 3 chambers, but first..." D.I.S.C.O.R.D opened the chamber door "let the testing begin. Mwhahaha"
