And inside the Equestrian. Maximum. Security. Prison (E.M.S.P), three pony's were siting in there prison cells, just passing the time. For the next 13 years. “Oooooh lord! This prison got me feeling down!” Sang Gold Fang. “ooooh lord! This equestrian prison got me feeling down...” He blew on his harmonica. Finely Long-run couldn’t take anymore. “Um.. Gold. Could I barrow that please?”. Gold stopped playing. He looked down at his harmonica and then up to Long-run. “Sure” He gave his instrument to Long-run. “just be careful, that's my only-” *Smash!* “-one” Sighed Gold Fang. “Thank you Long-run!” Cheered Zoom. “that was starting to get very annoying”. “No problem”. Gold looked hurt. “I thought I was pretty good” he muttered. Just then, the little food slot opened. Three trays of bread and water fell onto the ground inside there cell. “Eat up, lades!” mocked a guard. The small door closed and the guard trotted off. Zoom picked up his tray with a wing. “We can't keep eating like this!” His belly growled. “I haven't ate a good meal in days! Ever since we got locked up in this joint”. Long-run also picked up his tray. “I know what you mean” He sighed. “Don't worry guys!” Said Gold happily. “were only here for the next 13 years! That's not that long”. Both unicorn and pegasus glared at Gold. “Oh! Shut up!”. * * * *The next day*. Outside in the prison courtyard the three train robbers talked amongst each-other. “We have to get out of here” Exclaimed Zoom. “I can't take it anymore!”. Gold looked confused. “But we've only been in here for three days?”. Zoom collapsed onto ground. “That's the problem...” he sighed. Long-run keep quiet. His eyes were fixed on watching the barbwire gates, and the guards patrolling around them. “What are you looking at Longey?” Asked Gold. Long-run winced at the use of his pet name. “Just thinking..” He said. 'I am NOT going to spend the next 13 years behind bars! ' He thought. 'We need to escape. And besides, I don't think that Zoom can handle being caged up anymore. ' He watched as Zoom tried to bite off his wingcuffs. Only to have a guard, from one of the towers, fire a crossbow bolt at his hoofs. “Ahhh!” The pegasus looked up at the guard. “yo buddy! That was really close!” But the guard just shrugged. “Jerk..” muttered Gold, helping Zoom up. Who in return blushed. “Um.. thanks”. Gold nodded with a smile. “Guys...” Started Long-run. The other two looked at him, as he turned around with a crazy look in his eyes.”we are gonna bust out of here tonight!”. There eyes went wide. Gold and Zoom were about to say “no” & “are you crazy” but then another prisoner came over. “Did I just hear you say that your busting out?” Asked the prisoner. She was a Changeling. With the same kind of appearance that any other Changeling had. But what made her stand out was her bright orange eyes, that looked almost magic. “Um.. yea. What of it?” Asked Long-run. She smirked. “Well your going to need my help then” She held out a hoof. “The names Stalker Strike, or you can call me by my hive name, drone 600,789,546”. Long-run took her outstretched hoof. “I think that will just call you Strike, if that's fine with you” He laughed awkwardly. She nodded. “Now then” He let go. “why do we need your help?”. She shrugged, and smiled “Why not?”. 'Something about her is off. But... her powers could help us ' Long-run thought. “Um... okay, sure. You can help” He returned the smile. “Wait! are you serious?” Yelled Zoom with anger in his eyes. “have you forgotten about what there kind did to Canterlot 13 years ago!?” He looked right at Strike. “I mean, how did you even end up in here!?”. Strike growled with anger, showing off her fangs. Sending fear up there spines. “That attack was not called by the Changeling government. It was an attack by the rebel Chrysalis, and her rebel hive!” She looked in Zooms eyes. “and to answer your question. I was put in here for being a Changeling!” Tears fell from her eyes. All three pony's felt bad for there new Changeling comrade. Zoom was the first to recover. He slowly trotted over to Strike and place a gentle hoof on her shoulder. “Hey, um, I'm sorry about what I said. Its just that; I was a little colt when that happened and I guess that I never really got over it” He smiled. “and I would be very happy if you were to join us in escaping”. Long-run nodded. “Me too”. They all looked at Gold Fang. “Well... I guess that if your okay with it, then I am too” He smiled. Strike wiped away her tears. “Great!” Her confident expression returned. “now, gather around” They all did so. “Here's the plan” She grinned evilly. * * * (The next morning) “Alright! All prisoners we are having a surprise room search. You all know what that means!” Yelled the prison warden. All of the prisoners of {Cell block 4}came out of there cells. All but three. The warden noticed this and looked to his unicorn Captain. “Capt. Dawn, who belongs to cell 24?”. Dawn looked down at his papers. “Um.. Long-run, Zoom and Gold Fang. All here for a failed train robbery, sir”. “Long-run, Zoom and Gold Fang! Get your flanks out here right now!” The warden barked. But got no response. “Huh. Capt. Dawn go get those slackers out of bed!”. “Yes sir!” Dawn saluted. Dawn galloped to there cell. “Alright prisoners! Sleep time is over, get up-” Dawn gasped. “Warden! There gone!”. “What! That's Imposable! How-” Another guard ran to the warden. “Sir!..” He panted. “a.. a C-Changeling has e-escaped from {Cell block 2}!”. The wardens eyes widened. “What the hell is going on?!”. * * * During the night the four prisoners had escaped threw a series of air vents, and thanks to Strikes powers she was able to transform into a prison guard and clear the way, by telling the real guards that they were needed elsewhere. At that moment Long-run, Zoom, Gold Fang, and Strike were over ten miles away from the prison by now. All hungry and tired. But there confidence was high. “So.. *pant*.. whats the plan now” Asked Gold, falling on his butt. Long-run looked at the horizon. “The plan now is to get revenge” He laughed. “revenge on that dammed dragon and stallion who got us locked up in the first place!”. The other two nodded with tired approval. But Strike seamed a little to eager in her nodding. 'I'm coming for you Soarin. Just wait a little longer' She smirked. Showing off her razor sharp fangs.
