Halls and Corridors Pt.3

All four quickly ran down the corridor as the door was slowly pushed open.

"This way! Track them through the library!"

"Where's that?"

"Over here!"
"Over here!"

They kept running until they reached another door, much like the one in the console room. The 1st System quickly opened it, revealing a large, library with countless books.

"Split up!"

They split up into two groups and went into opposite directions of the gaping library.

(-- 1st System and Daring --)

"Where, exactly, are we going?"

"To the other side of the library. It's a shortcut to the heart of Red TARDIS."

"And how long will it take us to get to the other side?"

"At a walking pace, 20 minutes."

*doors slamming*

"Come on!"

(-- ??? System and Twilight --)

"So that Diamond Dog was you?"

"One of me, yes."

"One of you?"

"He was the first, then there was another, and then there's me."

"Sounds complicated."

"More than you think."

She turned. "System, look!"

He turned around. There stood the statues from earlier, with their hooves outstretched towards them.

"What do we do?"

"Go get the others. We need to get moving."

"But what about you-?"

"Just go!"

She quickly ran away to get the other two.

"Looks like its just you and me."

(-- 1st System and Daring --)

They had stopped running to take a rest, noticing that they Weeping Pegasi haven't shown up yet. That was until Twilight showed up.

"Twilight, what's going on?"

"The System is in trouble! You've got to come now!"

"Come on, Daring! On your hooves!"

They both got up and the three of them ran back to where the other System was.

"System!"

"Oh good, you're all back."

"So what do we do now?"

"Run?"

"Sounds good to me."

They all ran into and down the center of the library, with the sound of stones grinding behind them.
