It only had been a few days prior to the escape attempt that the three ponies had been collaborating with one another. It was to make sure they would be getting out of the place alive. One night in the facility was more than enough for the three of them to be knowing that something was wrong. That something was terribly wrong within the very walls that kept them caught. But the tale of just how the three got together and just how they managed to actually escape the place was something that not even the workers of the infamous factory could have even dared to think let alone talk about.
For in the days that Rarity laid knocked out in her bed from the drastic medical procedure, the latest bunch of poor souls that were deemed to be unworthy were teleported right into the cell. Ever since the whole of the place had docked into the city, there were new manners needed to get the ponies up unto the place. The only way that it could have been done, was to teleport them in.
It seemed to have been a rather dangerous maneuver but Rarity herself had given the green light for the strategy. It meant that the chariots and their drives could be decommissioned and thus placed out of the Facility’s orders as whole. They were given a rather large sum of bits if they would keep themselves silent. Those drivers would be just that as they feared the sheer power that the building could be producing and the last thing that they actually desired to was to be caught in the hooves of that ivory coated menace.
So when the latest bunch was teleported in, the guards then teleported themselves back out of the place. Among them was a pearl coated, green maned mare was one of the first that had managed to walk over to the bars that held them all in place. Fears and frights had started to rush through her body. She thought about the sheer horrors that could be done to her. In her eyes she caught nothing else than cells with mentally broken ponies who were all afraid of something.
She couldn't place it in her mind just what it was that all of them were so frightened for but she could be doing a little gamble that it would have been something that flowed through the pipes on the ceiling. Despite the massive amounts of fear that were running through her body, the young unicorn mare dared to look up to the very pipes themselves.
The mare could only be guessing just what was flowing through them and turned herself around. Her violet rimmed eyes looked over all of the ponies that were in the cell and then noticed the pair of them. Just the pair of them that were sitting all by themselves. Almost if they had already thrown the towel in the ring. That they had already given up of actually getting out of the place.
There was only one thing that the mare thought was to be right. And that was to go to them and listen to their stories. Just why she would have picked those two young stallions out of the group of the group of two dozen ponies was even a question for her. But something deep down in her guts told her that she could be trusting them two more then anypony else in the whole of the cell.
It was perhaps her only shot at getting out of the place. Of course there were rumors and stories about a place where all of the unicorns who didn't return from their tests were brought to. She just never had actually expected that it was something in the fashion that it was. “At least it beats a labor camp before they kill us,” the pearl mare muttered to herself. She then would have come over to the two other stallions.
She inspected them both with care. She remained a little bit on the outside of the cell, to make sure she wouldn't be walking in anypony’s way. In her eyes she caught the bright yellow coated, purple maned stallion with equally as deep purple rims in his eyes. While the other was more of a blueberry coated pony with an olive green mane. The rims in his eyes were just about the deepest blue that the mare had ever seen in her eyes and she couldn't believe what she saw.
Yet she knew somewhere deep in her mind that she needed to maintain herself and simply walked up to the two ponies before she gently sat down by the two of them. Who at first looked a little bit odd that a mare was sitting next to them. Both of them were a little bit on the chubby side and seemed to be rather inexperienced with mares. But not that that would be saving them from the hell they would be facing in there.
“Anything that we can be helping you, if I may ask?” the blueberry stallion asked her in a whisper while the other looked around. “Don’t suppose it’s just luck you’ll be sitting here, now is it?”
“Sharp one, now aren't you?” the mare teasingly replied to him with a silly grin before she introduced herself. “Name’s Pearl Vortex, yours?”
The olive green coated stallion nodded gently to the words that she spoke before he replied with some of his own. “Name’s Bubble Blue, don’t ask. And the silent one here, is called Magnum. Again, don’t ask. He never even told me his real name. Instead he decided to take the name of a fictional character upon himself. Kinda got stuck with it for the time I've known him.”
“Now that’s quite the something indeed you got there, Bubble, but yes, it wasn't just mere luck that I sat down here. Out of everypony in this cell, you two seem to be the smartest out here. I want to plan an escape from this place and I want to do it pronto,” said Pearl to them both. In their initial response did both Bubble and Magnum look over to her with a tilted head.
Neither of them two could believe that there was an escape attempt going on already. That they would become a part of it was something that blew their minds as a whole. “Well that certainly is, quite the something actually but just how do you plan to get through that shield over here? I mean, that’s some solid magic and our magic here doesn't work,” Bubble replied to her in a near silent whisper. Before he would have agreed to anything, he wanted to know more about her plans.
Though he had to admit it that he was genuinely interested in just how she would be actually planning to escape from the place. She had to have come from a good house if she wanted to do that. Because from the looks that he took, it seemed almost impossible to actually get out of the place. But what Bubble didn't knew was the fact that Pearl had a trick or two up her sleeve.
She wasn't just the typical girly-girl mare who was going around and about. A thing that the two of them would be discovering sometime later when the time was actually there.
---
That time was during the night in the city. The very time where the lights went out and the patrols of the guards were shrunken down. With all of the young mares and stallions vastly asleep inside of their cells, they never formed that much of a threat to them or the place. But in some of the cells, a few would actually stay up to talk to one another.
It was just a basic exhaustion game. The lack of sleep would be getting to those poor souls sooner or later. After which the will to escape wouldn't have been there anymore. That was all that it was actually, just a massive game of the minds playing with minds. Only those strong enough would be making it sane to the processing floor. Only a few would have made it that far in such a mental state. Which might have actually been for the better when some thought about it.
It was during their very first night together, that they leaned against the back wall of their cell and the question of questions was being asked by Pearl. “I think we all might be having the same story when it comes down to it, but the reason I’m here is because I failed my tests. Deemed to have been called an unworthy unicorn. And now we’re here. Not even sure just where the hell this is. Of course I heard the stories of such a place existing, but now to be actually there, makes me think about to reconsider a couple facts of my life.”
“Such as..?” Bubble then asked her with a raised eyebrow. The motions were almost visible in the darkness. He was curious to her tale though, not to just keep her talking but actually and genuinely interested in what type of mare she was.
“First of all, not getting killed in here. Secondly, making sure my mom and dad won’t be worried sick about me when they discover that I’m not coming home,” the mare replied almost with a reassuring chuckle to herself.
“Believe it or not, but we all have the same story here. Deemed unworthy and ended up here. Every unicorn knows and has heard the rumors about the place we are in now, but only a few could have actually imagined that it was true. Magnum over here, tough nut to crack but the tests made him silent. Which begs the question though, why haven’t seen we you during the tests?”
“Suppose that neither of you two had been in the holding cells below the arena? No? Thought so. That was there they stored me for two weeks before transporting me over to here. They just lay and wait for you to come out of the mess. Once you have gone insane they will get you and bring you here,” said Pearl before there was a deep sigh that left her nostrils.
“So what you’re saying, is that you’re ripe for the nuthouse?” Bubble asked just to be certain that he didn't actually misheard any of her words. But Pearl just turned her head further towards him before she gave him a wicked grin. One that spoke a clear language to them. “I take that as a yes.”
Minutes then turned into long and tedious hours. They continued to tell one another stories just to keep themselves awake. Stories of how their home situation was, how they were doing before the tests and all that regular stuff. All of the words were spoken in the whispers to make sure they wouldn't have woken any of their fellow captives, who then might wanted to join their escape plan.
“So what is your actual plan, Pearl? How you do manage to actually get past the shield, or the bars for that matter?” Bubble said to her. He still wanted to know the more finer details about everything. But she had been just so mysterious around the very fact of how she wanted to get out. And if she would be going, he and Magnum would be right there with her.
“The plan, Bubble, is actually really simple. The shield there is indeed made out of magic. And while we can’t use any magic ourselves here, we might be able to actually absorb the powers of that thing and store it until it is needed to make the final push. No doubt that once that shield is gone, every last guard will be on our tail,” explained Pearl to him. She had another look over to the shield itself. The blue color that was mixed with the red created for an almost calm atmosphere that laid below it. Though the truth was everything but pleasant about it.
It was something that was more than worthy of a shot to try despite of how crazy it sounded. The plan seemed to actually be able to work weren't it for one little detail that was missing from the whole operation. “And just how do you plan to reach it up there?” the olive green maned stallion then asked her. In response he first just got a smirk from the mare before she lowered her head again and looked to the sleeping ponies.
“Your answer lays there, vast asleep and thinking about the day of tomorrow. We can use them to form a bridge that will be more than high enough to carry all of us up. Where we all three will extract them extract from the magic from the shield and walk unto the catwalk.” Pearl spoke up to him before she released a yawn of her own.
“And then what, then we are standing on top of there. You have to think everything through before you put it to work you know. One wrong thing, and the whole operation just blows. Meaning we...” Bubble spoke up before he was suddenly interrupted by a voice to his right.
“Meaning we will be dead sooner than the poor souls here. Either way, it’s called a win win for us three. Pearl, I don’t care what it is you will be exactly needing from us, but I’m in for it.” It was Magnum's voice that spoke for the first time since their arrival. Or better said, the first time after his very own tests. His tone, his accent, it seemed he hailed from one of the many coastal regions.
Both the mare and the stallion looked over to him with a set of raised eyebrows before they had to give him the reward of being right. “You’re more than right on that, Magnum, I don’t want to die just because some judging system calls me unworthy of being a unicorn. I don’t care just how dangerous it is going to be. I want to get my freedom or die trying. And all I need from you two, is your cooperation in order to achieve just that,” Pearl replied to him with a determined look.
“We, will come back for the others right? I mean, they don’t deserve to be here either and if we can get out, we might get help from the princesses,” Magnum then asked in curiosity.
“That’s a promise, Magnum. That’s a promise.” A promise that in and of itself would be lying upon the minds of the ponies for a long time to come and actually become a heavy burden whenever they thought about it.
Yet both Magnum and Bubble couldn't help it but to smile to her words as they nodded their heads softly back and forward. Though in the back of their heads, the plan seemed to have been reckless, unprepared and perhaps even stupid beyond belief. Still, it was perhaps the only way that they would be making sure they would actually survive the place for once.
That, or they died trying. There was no other way for the three of them. Pearl looked one last time to the two stallions before she closed her eyes to get some shut eye. “One for all.”
---
“And all for one,” the two stallions spoke up after they both also entered a small gallop to race behind Pearl towards the opening in the hallway. It was their only shot of making it out and they all three knew it. But with pretty much every last guard right up their behinds, the chances of actually making out and making it out alive were only getting slimmer with each step they took.
Pearl, Magnum and Bubble had just galloped as quietly and fast as they could towards the opening. They hoped to get the little sense of freedom that hung somewhere in the air. They wanted it so badly and they would be getting it just so soon. With their hooves clopping almost silently against the metal floor was Pearl the first one who jumped through the opening. Only to then be followed by Bubble. Magnum was the last one and closed the door behind him. The door was even locked again to make it look like an official employee had just left it the way it was supposed to be.
All of it was of course done to get the guards on a fool’s trail, but the chances of them actually being smarter than always lingered in the backs of their heads. Without a single word spoken managed the three of them to orientate themselves just where they had come and they couldn't believe it. They were in the central spine of the building. The massive staircase that ran from up to down and was something that neither of the three actually had expected.
Bubble and Magnum looked their eyes out in just how high the building actually was and noticed once again all of the pipes going around and about the place. The curiosity of just what was in them rose in his mind but his heart knew exactly what they carried. Pearl was the only one of the group who looked down towards the bottom of the place and something inside of her guts just screamed at her that she needed to be going that way.
She couldn't explain it to the two of them, nor did she wanted to. Not to mention the sheer little fact that above them they could hear a set of hooves coming down towards them. All three of the ponies looked at one another before the pearl coated mare just rushed down the stairs with two or three steps at a time. The two stallions followed her example suit and before they could be saying anything, they were on their way to the very bottom floor of the building.
High above them they could hear the voices of two workers talking to one another. Though the words were muffled due to their own panting and wheezing. The traveling on the stairs and the increased heat that continued to only right the further down they went and not to forget the sounds of liquids traveling through the pipes all made it impossible to actually listen to the words that were being said. But perhaps that was a good thing for the three of them.
Their only option was to continue to go downwards and just hope that nopony would have been able to spot them or locate them. With the speed that they traveled down from the stairs, they would have believed in the fact that such a thing was actually possible to be done. Little did they knew just how the entire architecture of the place had worked against them.
They continued upon their way down into the bowels of the factory. Though they eventually ended up by a massive steel door that caused Magnum to come to a halt for a moment. He pointed at the door for a second or two and closed his eyes afterward. Though before he could be doing anything, Bubble had rushed back up on the stairs and pulled him with him. “Come on!” Bubble whispered before the other one came back to his senses and nodded.
With the group having reunited once again, they were brought over to the lowest floor there was. But if they had only looked upon the steel door, they could have known that it was actually the exit to the ground level. For on the very bottom of the Facility laid the returned moving department. Which due to the high alert had actually been cleared from any workers. All of them were looking for the missing ponies.
“Now where are we?!” Bubble spoke up in a desperate sounding voice as he wiped the sweat off of his face. The sheer heat of the pipes wasn't something that he had taken into account not had expected to come. “Where’s the exit?”
“Will you just shut it for a moment and let me think alright?” Pearl replied to him as she pressed her forehead against his and locked their horns together. “I’m thinking that the exit is somewhere close but I need to have a clear mind do I want to figure it out! So just hold that tongue!”
“Fine then, missy much. You look for an exit over there, I’ll be doing it over there,” spoke Bubble before the two turned themselves away from the other. They just began to do their own things in the moment. But among all of it, Magnum had been snooping around himself a little bit. Only to discover a door that looked a little bit promising in his mind.
But with the sheer heat of the place going straight to his head, it might also have been just a hallucination that he was suffering. But who knew just what laid behind it. It was always worth a peek in his eyes and it couldn't be doing more harm than they were already in. And that, was where thought more than wrong.
---
When Magnum finally opened the door he was interested in, the sheer stench of flesh being burned and sounds of the fires violently raging could be clearly heard going through the place. It was something that caught the attention of both Pearl and Bubble who both walked over to his place in order to check out just what could have been the origin of it.
When the two other ponies looked into the chamber, their worst fears were made a reality. Within that room, they saw the boilers and the fires that fed them. It was on the other side that they noticed the sheer horror of the place. The pile of dead ponies with the holes in their bodies going just about everywhere and the bones in their bodies broken by something powerful.
None of them wanted to see the sight that was presented to them. But there it was and they had to live with it. The only thing that they could be doing was to close the door and try to forget the deaths they had seen. Though that was something easier said than done when it came down to the fact that the eyes all seemed to be staring just at them with the question of why burned in them.
The shivers of true cruelty were sent down their spines as all of the ponies wanted to just get out of there as soon as possible. The earlier conflict was forgotten for the sake of knowing how they could be ending up. All three of them worked together to find an exit in the place. But the more they were searching through it, the more they finally seem to actually realize that there wasn't any other way out, outside of the one they came through.
“There has to be a way that can be leading us out of here. Service shaft, anything?!” Pearl questioned while she continued to be looking in every last single corner. But the two stallions just gave it up and lowered themselves down to the floor. After everything they had done so far, they were ready to give it up again. It was a thing that made the mare question the fact if it had been worth to take the two of them with her on the adventure and dangerous game she was playing.
Though she couldn't actually annoy herself too much upon the two of them, as she needed to find a way out. “I’m not going to die here, just because two nitwits like them don’t have the very guts and will to push on!” she muttered to herself.
Not much later she discovered a room that was unnoticed to the other two. A room that was in fact Keeton’s old office. It must have been through luck or fate that she was actually allowed to discover the place and without much hesitation went in. Though the sheer darkness of the place was something that worried her more than anything else. She had of course that little bit of magic from the shield flowing through her and perhaps, just perhaps it could be used to light her the way out.
The eyes of the green maned closed themselves as the horn ever so gently charged itself up in order to light up the room. Her eyes then looked over the desk and noticed the charts that were lying still upon it. With a gulp she dared to be looking at each of them but never seemed to have been able to actually understand either what they meant or who they were for.
That was until she turned herself around and shone the light upon the massive chart that hung upon the wall. All of the sudden she felt her hopes and fates sink down straight into the bottom of her hooves. Nothing in her mind could have ever made her belief that the adventure would be ending the way it would be in her mind. “Too low, we’re too low… We, we’re, in the basement of the place. There’s no way out except…” Without another word gasped the mare for air and discharged her horn. “Bubble, Magnum.”
Just with those two words did Pearl turn herself away from the office and galloped back to the main room where she had left both of the stallions. Her biggest fear was rightfully the one that the other two had been captured already.
When she entered the room, she found the two of them just still sitting there as if nothing ever happened to them. It was as massive relief off of her chest that the two of them were doing alright. Without a word had she just hugged the two of them and released a small tear of happiness from her eyes. The relief that went through her body couldn’t be described.
Neither Bubble or Magnum had even the slightest bit of idea just what was going but they just returned the hug to her and patted her softly on the back. Yet while they were doing that, on the hallway that would be leading them out, three sets of hooves had been coming closer and closer to them before they stopped in the door opening.
“Well, well, well, ain't this a surprise,” the voice of Keeton echoed through the abandoned room. All three of the ponies looked up in the biggest of genuine surprise to the three of them and gulped afterwards. They knew that their journey would have been over right there and then. For behind Keeton there were both Mush and Corron. Yet the young ponies wouldn't be going down without a fight.
The three of them broke the hug and quickly assumed a stance of attacking the group. Though the trio of engineers laughed it off before they all entered the room and closed the door behind them. The escaped ponies were in their domain then. For they were queen and kings in those places and would be showing everything to make that statement more than true to any of them.
“You’ll never take us back to that horrible cell. I don’t care who you three are but you will not be standing in our way!” Pearl snarled up to them through her gritted teeth. She charged up her horn in the magic of the shield.
That alone was more than enough to make the other two do just the same before Keeton motioned with his hooves. The other two engineers needed to stay in the back for the moment, he would be having his fun. “Go ahead and fire. End the lives of the three guards that were supposed to look after you until you were processed. Don’t you want to know what really happens here, lassy?”
“I know enough that this is a factory of the dead!” Pearl continued. She had more than enough of the games that were being placed with her and the other two. She wanted it to end. She counted down from three to zero inside of her head. Then the charge wanted to release itself. But instead of the beam of magic they had hoped for, their horns just shone like a torch in the darkness.
“Yah wanna know who betrayed the three of you? I suggest you look to your leader,” Keeton then commented with a chuckle in his tone. But then it was the turn to the trio of workers to charge up their horns in the crimson red aura of the Facility.
---
Neither Bubble or Magnum could actually be believing the fact that Pearl had been the origin of their downfall. Neither of the two stallions actually wanted to believe it that she was the cause of the whole operation having gone wrong. “But, Pearl, how, how could you?!” Magnum then spoke up before he wiped a bit of his purple mane out of his face.
“I don’t know how it happened alright! I was, I was in an office with charts and I just needed a little light so I, I created a torch with my magic.” The last bits and pieces of her words weren't spoken in any of the confidence that she used to have. Instead they were just whispered against the other two ponies. Pearl suddenly felt like she could be casting herself in concrete or something like it. “It was a signal to you three, wasn't it? Charging up after having absorbed it, caused the bells to ring inside of your head, telling you we were here. Am I right?” she dared to ask.
Pearl was dead right on the spot and the bits because that was exactly what had happened to the stallions and the mare. “You’re a smart little filly, shame you have to end now like the rest of them,” Corron replied before all three of them released their charges. The three escaped ponies could be fighting all they wanted against the powers of the engineers but it wouldn't have been anything they would have been able to win.
In fact the battle only lasted a couple of seconds before the bodies and heads were caught up in the magic. “Now, do the three of you have any last words you wish to end your life with?”
“Yes, we do have a couple,” Pearl spoke to them all. Keeton just gave a nod to her and she started to speak again. “I am wanting to say sorry to you two, Bubble and Magnum, for dragging you into this mess, I never wanted it to end like this. I wanted us to be free ponies again. Suppose we still get the freedom we wanted. And secondly, I am sorry for leaving those we promised to save behind.”
Only then did the pearl coated, green maned unicorn mare give a nod to Keeton as a sign that she was done with her words. The next thing that happened was the sound of bones being snapped from three different strengths and sides. All three of the engineers had broken and snapped the necks of each escapee. Therefore ending their lives long before they would be straight into the infamous Magic Maker.
“Clean them up, would ya? I need to see what has changed in my office. If it is true what she said about the charts, we might be onto something ourselves,” the blue stallion said to the rest of them. Then there was a massive sigh that was released through his nostrils.
“They were brave, I give them that,” Mush spoke up before she collected all three of their bodies. The mare had one last look at them before she smirked a bit towards Pearl. “Clever girl.”
“And rather resourceful. I am starting to wonder who really lives in freedom now. Us, or them,” added Corron to the pile of mystery. With Keeton already gone, Mush going over to the boilers, there wasn't actually anypony who heard his last set of words. And perhaps that was something left for the better as he didn't wanted to have any conflict with either two of them.
---
While all of that was going on, while the three escapees were being killed like it was the most normal job in the land, Rarity herself and Platinum Sea had been walking through the wonderful city without a single care in the universe. Of course they talked about business as it was supposed to be, but never did the stallion shine through the true intentions that he was wanting from the ivory unicorn.
That was of course until they stood before the Platinum Tower itself. Rarity simply looked out her eyes at the sheer beauty and the massive sight of the thing. She had dreamed of it, seen it in pictures and in lore, but to see it actually in her life, had to be one of the most amazing moments in her life.
“Milady Rarity, may I welcome you to the Platinum Tower. Home of the once great princess Platinum herself, now home to her court,” the stallion spoke to her. He opened the door for her. Almost like a filly that was meeting her greatest idol. Though Rarity managed to keep everything together. She wanted to make sure she wouldn't be blowing up an deals that were going to be made. For even though she was in the tower, she still had not a true clue.
Of course there were guesses left and right but that was about it. Though the mare entered the tower itself and was just about every second amazed by the sheer beauty that the place carried with itself. “This, this is just marvelous, mister Sea. I mean, I had heard about it through time, but seeing it all in real now, simply amazing and baffling.”
“But it is only going to get better miss. Just you wait and hold on to something. We’re going to teleport straight to the top of the place. To the actual throne room,” Platinum Sea then said to her before he charged up his horn. Just as Rarity wanted to say anything, they poofed themselves out of one place in the world.
Only to appear a couple seconds later at another spot in the building. And the spot they ended up was the very throne room itself. Legends had it that it was the most beautiful room in the whole castle that once belonged to the unicorn princess. And it wasn't a lie whatsoever. For shortly after they had landed in the room, Rarity once against looked at every last inch in pure amazement. Never in her life had she seen just so much style or class together.
Not to mention the fact that she saw the origin pools of the platinum waterfalls outside on the walls. “Simply magnificent! But, if I may inquire so, shall we get down to business?” said Rarity to him. She sat down on one of the chairs of the round table. Platinum Sea on the other end straightened his bow tie again and nodded to her before he took place himself.
“The, reason, why I called you here was actually for something very simple. The very shield that keeps our city protected from the world outside has starting to fail on us. And it started to be doing that actually just after your Facility arrived back in the town. We, as the court, think that the origin of the shatters in the shield might have been the direct result of your chimney shooting out the blast of magic every so often. But I am not here to lecture you about your own job. I have an agreement in which will be mutually beneficial. Consider it milady and then, only then the city will become the most powerful place in the whole world,” Platinum Sea explained to her.
“You aren't wanting to do world domination here, now are you? Because if that’s the case, I’m not doing it. But if you have the papers, I’d like to read them myself a bit before signing anything.” She still was the stone cold business mare as she always used to be. Rarity wanted to know just what she would be dealing with and when.
The stallion nodded calmly before he conjured a few documents into existence and placed them before the mare together with a quill to sign. “Whenever you think you’re ready, you may sign the document and we can seal the deal,” said Platinum Sea to her with a smile forming over his lips.
But Rarity conjured her glasses into existence and she then began to read through the whole thing. It even included the reports about the gaps and how they seemed to have been created through the time the Facility had been docked. Yet she had to agree that the terms were more than reasonable in her eyes.
---
Rarity was almost ready to sign the pact between the Platinum Tower and the Magic Facility before the doors were crashed open. They were blown open by a powerful blast of magic. The blast was in fact so powerful that both Rarity and Platinum Sea had to hide under the table in order to not get hit by any of the broken wood shatters.
When both of the two ponies actually dared to be looking out of the hiding spot, Rarity noticed the fact that both Twilight and Trixie were standing in the opening. The unicorn looked a couple of times to the two of them before her mind almost went blank. With the steam coming out of both of their noses with each exhale, they were mad about something. That much was certain.
But she was also mad about something. “And just what is your reason for this insubordination of the deal we were supposed to be making here?! What’s wrong with the two of you to begin with?!” Rarity huffed out to the two of them before she released a growl.
Twilight nor Trixie answered any of her words. Instead they just continued to walk closer and sealed of the exit behind them. Nopony would be going anywhere unless they wanted. Rarity suddenly got an idea in her mind of just what the two could be doing and didn't liked it one bit. Both of her forelegs were placed upon the table as her sapphire blue eyes looked over to the other two unicorns. “You’re doing mutiny, after so many years of working with me?!” she then spoke up, almost in a trembling tone. She was losing her grip on everything. The end was in sight.
