So the next day I casually wandered over to the chained up stallion and just as I’m about to talk to him all of a sudden I can hear his voice in my head. It’s very weird but at this point I’m just rolling with the punches.
“Hello Jack, I’ve been waiting for you to notice me.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean right now you think you’re talking to a stallion, but to anyone else you’re staring at a wall right now. I’m simply an illusion, a messenger if you will for a higher power locked deep inside this prison and I need you to rescue them.”
“Rescue them?”
“Yes if you want any chance of defeating Discord and Nightmare moon you’re going to have to rescue them.”
“Even if I could get past all the guards and security I don’t even know what I’m looking for.”
“Isn’t if obvious? You’re looking for the real Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.”
“Let’s just say I do decide to go and try to rescue them and I make it past the legions of guards, security, and let’s not forget Nightmare freaking moon, and figure out where they are how will I get them out?”
The stallion smiles and starts to fade as he says.
“You’ll know how to free them when the time is right. Good luck Jack we’re all counting on you.”
And with that he vanishes and I almost yell at the wall for being so goddamned vague. So I go back to Cipyar and tell him what just happened expecting him to laugh and say I’ve already gone crazy but he’s surprisingly accepting, I guess being trapped in a world populated by flying ponies helps you suspend your disbelief more easily. So we both think of ways to get down to the super max part of the jail where both princesses are hopefully being held. After a few days of studying the guard’s behavior, schedule, routes and weapons we decided the simplest way to explore the prison without being caught is to start a riot and hope we can organize the mob to keeping the guards busy while we find and save these princesses.
“Alright Cipyar you ready?”
“Yep I’ll go the cafeteria and get the others to start fighting and while that’s happening you start the fights in the gym, then we’ll meet at the guard tower and figure out where in the hell these princesses are.”
“Okay I’ll see you in a bit.”
Cipyar runs to the cafeteria and I start a brisk walk to the gym after a few minutes I see a few more guards running to the cafeteria and realize our other conspirators were probably a little eager to start killing guards. I run the rest of the way to the gym and grab a 20 pound weight and smash the nearest guard over the head with it. He goes down and I yell riot, everyone else in the room immediately jumps a guard and we very quickly have their weapons and armor, I lead them to the guard tower and see Cipyar has had similar success. We both direct our mobs to attack all the guards and to free as many prisoners as they can. Then Cipyar and I run into the base of the guard tower. As we walk into the abandoned surveillance room we can see the guards weren’t prepared for this at all and are being slaughtered. Cipyar laughs and starts looking for the emergency cell release button.
“Hey I think I found it!”
“Well don’t just stand there push it! We got to take this prison before any reinforcements arrive.”
He hits the button and all the cell doors open and the riot goes to a full scale assault. I also isolate the rooms with riot gear and seal them so the guards can’t get to them.
“Alright that’s taken care of now all we have to do is find Celestia And Luna then get the hell out of here.”
I start searching all the monitors and eventually find 2 very small ones on the far end of the wall where all the TV’s are mounted.
“Well that’s probably them.”
“How do you know?”
“These are the smallest TV’s and the rooms are the darkest looking and these are the only 2 horses that are chained to the walls.”
“Good point lets go.”
Cipyar and I run outside where we can see the riot’s going very well, most of the guards are either dead or almost beaten and nothing’s on fire which is always good. We both run across the courtyard and find an elevator that goes to the bowels of the prison where the super max cells are. Its key card activated but luckily there’s a dead guard with his I.D still attached. We slide it in the card reader and the doors open up to a completely white elevator with a disinfectant smell hanging in it. Cipyar turns to me and says.
“Oh man it’s going to be a horror show down there isn’t it?”
“Yeah probably but we have to rescue them or we’ll be in here forever.”
“Shit, fine but we get killed I’m blaming you.”
I push the button for the basement and the elevator moves without a sound except for our nervous breathing. Finally it makes it to the ground floor and the doors open silently to a sterile white hallway with nobody in it. We slowly step out and find we can’t hear anyone at all; in fact our hoofs make the most noise.
“Where the hell is everyone?”
I whisper to Cipyar?
“I don’t know this place gives me the creeps.”
As we walk down the hall some more we it takes a sharp left then widens here there’s still no one to be found but now there are doors with one way windows so we could see in at whoever was in the cell without them knowing we were there. Cipyar takes the right side while I took the left. As we walked I had this uneasy feeling like someone was watching me but as I glanced around the hall and into each cell I passed there wasn’t a single soul in here that I could see except for me and Cipyar, once I got to the end of the hallway I was about ready to run the hell out of this creepy hospital, mental ward, thing but just before I was going to start backing away I saw her, princess Celestia, she looked like crap but I could tell she wasn’t dead yet. Cipyar came over to me and said Luna was in the cell across from Celestia.
“It looks like we got to them just in time.”
“Yeah, help me open Celesta’s cell then we can get Luna out.”
We struggle for a few minutes before giving up. The doors are sealed shut and I guessed were either going to open with a few pounds of heavy explosive or finding the control panel and just unlocking them. Since we needed the princess alive and not smeared all over the wall’s I opted to find the control panel.
“I really hope the guard station is nearby, I’ll be right back stay here and keep a look out for any guards.”
Cipyar nodded, and with that I started walking down the hall further and further for what seemed like forever until I finally found a desk, but the monotors built into it were showing static and all the controls were locked I decided to save time and get the hell out of here as quickly as I could the fastest way to do this was to tear all the wires out of this desk and start rearranging them till something happened, luckily after a minute or two all the doors I could see opened and from the echoing from down the hall I guessed I got all the doors open, so I ran back to Cipyar and found him helping Celestia down.
“Thank you Jack I knew I could count on you.”
“Your welcome but as soon as we get out of here your explaining what in the hell is going on.”
“I will tell you anything you want to know just as soon as we rescue Luna and control this prision.”
“I’ll hold you to that, c’mon Cipyar let’s get Luna out.”
Cipyar and I struggle with Luna’s chains for a minute before we free her as well, it turns out she was in worse condition then we thought.
