The Mane 6 Prison Chronicles

“As ya’ll know, the farm ain’t been doing too well lately. Last two harvests were smaller than most, and the zap apples haven’t come in at all for those two years.

“So the farm was losing a ton of bits, and we needed to make up for it. Big Mac decided he would plow another field and plant more saplings, lil’ Applebloom and her friends started to build a stage to put on shows, and Granny Smith didn’t do anything.

“All those ideas, ‘cept Granny Smith’s, were gonna take too long. So, I started to look for work in Ponyville. Problem was, every pony knew I was a farmer, and no good at city work. But ‘cuz I am a farmer, I’m strong as a mule, and after a week of lookin’, I found work at an underground fight club.

“I started fightin’ there a couple times a week, and the bits started to really come in. I got bruised up pretty bad here and there, but I made the money we been needin’.

“It was going great, until a few nights ago. I got a private contract to fight some big, bad stallion named ‘The Boulder’. I took the contract, since it was 1,000 bits to the winner. That’d be enough to get us back on track for next year and then some.

“The deal was pretty strange though, the contractor had me meet him and his fighter in a private-like place between two tall buildings, at night.

“He said I didn’t have to bring my sponsor, so I didn’t. That’s when I found out what the big deal was. His fighter was actually called ‘Steamroller’, and I beat his sorry hide in my third fight, so he was out for revenge.

“He told me he had some rather naughty pictures of me doing the cage fightin’ and he threatened to hand ‘em over to Princess Celestia if I didn’t do as he asked.

“His first term was that I throw a fight on purpose to his fighter, so he regains his glory. His second term was that I never do cage fightin’ again. That was strike three, so I told him to eat shit.

“He wasn’t happy about that, and told me I’d regret it. I should’ve listened.

“Long story short, while I was fightin’ the very next night, the Royal Guard busted me and the whole operation.

“That’s how I got here. Not very flashy, I know, but the cage fightin’ was still illegal, and because I made so much money illegally, they gave me a life sentence for it.

“Alright Rarity, it’s your turn now.”
