The first circular door opened. “Please go on Twilight, test one awaits you” D.I.S.C.O.R.D stated in a sinister way. Twilight walked towards the door; the door opened on its own when approached.
“Ok! Let’s get this over with, come on Pinkie your coming too,” Twilight exclaimed using her magic to pull Pinkie towards her. “We need to get these artefacts or relics or whatever they end up being!” (I just hope there is something actually down there… D.I.S.C.O.R.D probably isn’t the most trustworthy A.I in this facility.) Twilight just stood there staring into the distance thinking.
“Umm… hello!? Anypony home… Damn… She’s loko in the coco, we need a new test subject to do thissss….uhh what is it we are doing again?” Pinkie just let her mouth say what she was thinking without any restraint. “OHH can the new test pony bring me ice cream I love ice cream.”
“PINKIE! There is no ice cream and besides you’re a personality core, you can’t eat ice cream or any food for that matter so now can we PLEASE go!” Something in Twilight snapped maybe talking about ice cream at a horrible time like this isn’t a good idea. Twilight started to run, with Pinkie floating right behind her with a purple aura surrounding her.
“Slow down… Twilight… I’m slipping and flying all over the place.” Pinkie was being Pinkie and just making stuff up, Twilight was holding Pinkie with magic so besides forward she wasn’t moving at all.
“Pinkie, you can’t slip you don’t even have hoofs or anything and besides I’m holding you with my magic, so I ensure you are safe ok.” Twilight was obviously trying to think about those ‘artefacts’ and wanted Pinkie as quiet as possible. But before that Twilight and Pinkie finally got to the first test chamber. “Ok Pinkie where here, the first chamber. Ok. Umm… Ah I know what to do.” Twilight put down Pinkie and levitated the dual-portal device onto her right hoof. She fired a blue portal at the left side wall that had a small white surface, a blue oval engulfed the white wall. Twilight then fired the orange portal at the wall right behind her, the device fired the orange portal and a hole was made present. Twilight put the portal gun back on her back, and used her magic to pick up Pinkie. They both entered the portal.
Pinkie got scared and started to screech, “NO NONONO, PLEASE I DON’T WANT TO GO THROUGH THERE!” Twilight looked at Pinkie confused, not knowing what the problem was, Twilight knew it was safe.
“Pinkie Pie, what is the problem it’s completely safe you saw me walk out of one like 20 minutes ago.” Twilight was talking as calmly as she could so it seemed more reassuring. Twilight carefully put Pinkie Pie through the portal and walked in herself. “See Pinkie it’s not that bad, I wouldn’t put you in any danger on purpose, but let’s avoid danger all together shall we?” Twilight and Pinkie went towards the chamber’s exit but once they got to it, it wouldn’t open.
“Twilight up there!” Pinkie turned herself around to see around the room and saw a red button on a white post in a little in-closed bit of the wall.
Twilight swivelled around “over where? Oh! I see it now.” Twilight ran towards the wall where the button was placed. But before Twilight could get to the button the wall closed up over the obvious hole.
“HAHAOHAHAHAWAAA, oh my Celestia. I don’t believe you feel for that,” D.I.S.C.O.R.D appeared on the large screen on the right side of the room. “Boy, its good being able to get a laugh after being shut-down for years, it feels good. Great even. So Twilight? You seriously thought that the first test would be that easy? The switch for the door is actually up there.” Twilight turned around to see a wall panels move to expose a button. “Good luck you two on the next couple of chambers.” The screen D.I.S.C.O.R.D appeared on turned black.
Twilight walked to the other side of the chamber “*sigh* let’s hope I can press it this time.” Twilight got to the wall that the button was located at, she looked straight up “hmm… how do I get up there?” Twilight started looking around the room for any clues.
“Why don’t you do another portal thingy to get up there?” Pinkie wondered, “you did it a little while ago to get across that hole.”
“Because Pinkie only certain surfaces are able to be used as a portal surface,” Twilight seemed to have no idea how to hit the button. (Maybe… Just maybe.) Twilight had an idea but wasn’t quite sure if it was going to work. Anyway Twilight walked towards the hole in the middle of the room. “HEY! There’s a button down there maybe that opens the door instead.” Twilight jumped down but basically didn’t feel it, when she pressed the button it didn’t appear that she did anything at all, but when she made portals and got out of the hole, Twilight heard a clanging sound.
“Owe oh ah, stop this at once you’ll break my freshly polished glass,” exclaimed a personality core that rolled out of the celling, hitting the button in the wall opening and rolled onto the floor in front of Twilight and Pinkie. The door slid open exposing an elevator behind it.
“This is a pre-recorded message, so no matter what time you amazing future changing test subjects are doing these tests we can do them for science. The door that you just opened has a Material Emancipation Grill which will destroy any unidentified Equestria Laboratory items.” A loud stallion type voice said over a speaker placed in the top corner of the room.
“What were you doing in the roof? And who are you? Why were you saying ow?” Twilight asked this purple core to many questions in such a short time and basically forgot the door is open now.
“My name is Rarity, I was in the roof because I was getting maintenance done to see if I was a corrupt core or not and somehow I ended up changing direction while traveling placing me in this room. Lastly I was saying ow because I can simple as it sounds. Now what are you two doing here?” The tone Rarity was using seemed like all this was one big drama.
“Ok. First things first, im Twilight Sparkle and this is Pinkie Pie. We’re down here because an evil A.I has taken complete control of this facility, so the other A.I’s woke me up from sleeping to find this rare items or something near the bottom of this place. The evil A.I known as D.I.S.C.O.R.D is letting me go down there but made all these chambers for me to complete. But I reckon he has another trick.” Twilight told everything she had to tell in the most simplified version possible so she could continue on.
“So… Twilight you think I could go with you and uhh Pinkie was it?” Asked Rarity, who sincerely wants to go. “I could help somehow.”
“Well I was told that more than one pony would be required so alright you can come with us too,” Twilight was giving off good news a lot lately which im sure made Rarity feel more secure going with the others. Twilight, Pinkie and the new core Rarity finally left the first test chamber. They walked to the end of a hallway which had a Material Emancipation Grill while behind that was an elevator which sent the three companions down to the other test chambers. When the elevator stopped they heard another voice.
“Well done you have completed one of Equestria Laboratories test chambers, due to these being recorded messages there might be any workers watching your testing. So please take time to fill out one of the ‘Evaluation Sheets’ and an Equestrian lab worker will wake you up from your sleep to compare with other test subjects. Thank you.” All went silent again after the voice disappeared.
“OK… well that interesting to say the least, hope that doesn’t happen after every chamber,” Twilight saying to herself. The pony and two cores continued on, not very far however as another voice started to talk.
“Oh. I see you passed a chamber, YAY!” Confetti fell from the cellaring as soon as the voices excitement ended.
“Oh my Celestia… NOW WHAT!?” Twilight screamed trying unsuccessfully to hold back her outburst. “I’m TRYING TO COMPLETE THESE ‘TESTS’, AND THAT’S REALLY HARD TO DO WHEN I KEEP GETTING STOPPED!”
“Oh come on Twilight have a sense of humour.” Said D.I.S.C.O.R.D who at that point had appeared on another T.V screen. “I didn’t really come here for that though, I came here to tell you that you’ll be having a new pony to help you not robots or anything.” At that moment a couple of panels opened up and a door was exposed, the doors opened and out walked a blue mare with a white mane. “Well good luck Twilight.” D.I.S.C.O.R.D disappeared once more.
“Well Twilight Sparkle it’s been a long time hasn’t?” Stated the blue mare. “Miss me? Of course you did!”
“Ahh… who are you exactly?” Twilight said without a clue in the world about who this pony was. “Want to fill me in? You will be helping me after all.”
“Don’t pretend you don’t remember me Twilight Sparkle. No pony could forget the GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE! Saying her name with a large amount of passion.
“Yea… whatever, just come on we have stuff to do, and if you’re the best we got, Celestia help us.” Twilight starts to walk to the next elevator.
“Hey don’t you sass THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE!” Trixie seemed pretty upset now, but followed Twilight, Pinkie and Rarity into the elevator. “Oh and just so you know Twilight Sparkle, I’m solving the next chamber not you.”
“*Sigh* Whatever Trixie.” Twilight was obviously fed up with her in the first few seconds they’ve known each other. The elevator started to move down to the next chamber, it got dark since no lighting is apparent between chambers it seems.
