	Bang, a green unicorn burst out of a fortified door  from an unmarked building. He was bolting out as fast as he could, but he was chased, in hot pursuit, by three of Luna's commissioned bat ponies. While the unicorn was going break neck speeds, the Pegasi were still much faster than him.The bat ponies were were closing in on him, so close that he could feel that he could feel their hot and moist breath on his tail.

"Curses, I was hoping I wouldn't have to use this much magic in one go." He said, charging up all the magic he could gather in his horn. The bat ponies came closer and closer, starting to try to grab him for his crime. He suddenly vanished with a discharge of magical energy. There weren't any witnesses as to what happened, because the streets of Vanhoover are always empty at night.

So there he was, a trained unicorn, alone in the frozen woods. Miles from any know civilization. Further than any unicorn in Vanhoover could teleport to find him. For the first time in his life, Portal Jet, was completely alone and surrounded by hundreds of miles of frozen woods in any direction. Hope being an afterthought to survival.

So, friged and cold, He started digging into the softer part of the ground with his hooves for a place to sleep for the night so that he wouldn't die of hypothermia on his first outing on his own. Now, with his hole dug to the standards of a shallow grave, he lied down in the hole, and covered himself up, leaving his muzzle exposed so that he could breath.
