"What kind of SCP bullshit is this?!" Bailey exclaimed as he looked at the camera monitor. Bailey saw what looked like a lavender unicorn accompanied by a cyan pegasus with a rainbow colored mane. He scrambled to make sense of the situation.

"Is that Twilight and Rainbow Dash?!" Tyler said with extreme surprise. Tyler didn't receive an answer, so he assumed Bailey was in a trance or was shocked.

"Uh, Bailey? Did you hear me?" Tyler asked, but Bailey wasn't beside of him. Tyler then turned around, seeing Bailey sprinting towards the armory. A few seconds later Bailey ran out of the armory with a radio transceiver, a pistol, and a M4A1 Carbine. Bailey handed Tyler one of the radio transceivers and the pistol.

"Tune to channel 1 and stay here!" Bailey told Tyler, struggling to breathe from he sprinting he had just done.

"Do you know where they are?" Tyler asked.

"Yes. They are not that far from the checkpoint. Man this better not be SCP-895 screwing with us."

"SCP-895?" Tyler grew curious as to what it was.

"Camera disruptions, I'll talk about it later." Bailey said as he turned to the door. "Also I need you to do something." Bailey added, readying his carbine and turning on the radio he had. They then head outside of the room and stopped at the Tesla gate.

"Tyler, listen! This is important! When I cross this gate, flip that lever. Do not let anyone else but me and them in!" Bailey paused, checking his gear for the last time. "Be as quiet as you can. The code to the security door is 9031. When I come back, turn off the gate, okay?" Bailey informed Tyler.

"But can't you flip the lever on the other side of the gate?" Tyler had asked Bailey. Bailey then crossed the gate and shot the other switch.

.

"Just so that anyone else can't get in," Bailey seemed to have read Tyler's mind before he asked another question. "I'll be back in a while. Stay safe, and if SCP-173 comes in, keep eyesight. lure it outside if you can. Farewell." Bailey said his goodbye and took off down the hall. Tyler then flipped the lever and the light on the Tesla gate turned from green to red.

"Twilight, where are we?" Rainbow asked, looking around only to find themselves in a hallway of sorts.

"I don't know, but I don't like it," Twilight paused as she lit her horn for light. "I think we are underground." She had then added.

"Hello? Is anypony there?" Twilight asked, listening in for any responses.

"Hey Twi, do you here something?" Rainbow asked, moving closer to her companion.

"I think I do!" Twilight paused as they listened in. "Sounds like rumbling." She took note. The rumbling got louder until a distant explosion filled the ponies ears.

"What is going on here?" Twilight asked Rainbow, hoping for a guess.

"Maybe somepony dropped something." Rainbow assumed, starting to shiver from fear.

"That wasn't an object. Sounded like TNT!" Twilight responded to Rainbows guess.

The sounds of metal clicking echoed out of the darkness. The sound gradually kept getting louder.

"What is that?" Rainbow asked, now beginning to hug Twilight. Twilight hugged back.

"I don't know, Rainbow!" Twilight said, hoping she wasn't loud enough for whatever the source of the sound is to hear her.

The clicking became louder and louder until it was clear that it was footsteps. A hydraulic-like sound came out of the darkness until a tall, two-legged figure stopped in front of them.

"Stand back! I'm warning you!" Rainbow said as she stepped in front of Twilight. The tall figure didn't flinch from the warning at all. That's when it spoke.

"Listen, I am not here to hurt you." The figure said as it knelled down to the floor. The ponies stepped back a little. The figure continued on.

"I am here to escort you, not to hurt you." The figure said again. Twilight started to examine it. The thing looked like it was wearing some sort of clothing. It also appeared to have a chest plate, like the kind you would see on a royal guard, but black and covered with pockets. It also had a helmet with a piece of yellow-tinted glass on the front of it. The creature had some sort of work boots on as well. Twilight assumed it was a guard of some sort, and proceeded to make contact with it.

"Who are you?" She asked with fear in her voice.

"The name's Bailey!" It responded with a friendly voice. "Nice to meet ya!" The figure added.

Twilight assumed it was male due to how deep the voice is, yet she could be wrong. "What are you, sir?" She asked.

"More importantly, where are we?" Rainbow then added.

"Listen, I'll answer your questions later, but right now I gotta get you somewhere safe." Bailey said.

"Why?!" Both of the mares simultaneously said.

"Because both of you are in grave danger! I'll explain later, just hurry!" Bailey said, looking around and scanning the area. All of the sudden, another voice rang out of the darkness, but much farther away as it was muffled.

"Please no! Get the fuck away from me!" The voice said. A dark and evil sounding laughter followed it after wards. "No! No! NNNOOO!" The voice yelled as a blood gurgling scream can be heard. The same laughter could be heard in the agonizing screams. After a few seconds a sound of a man getting slashed echoed throughout the hallway.

"We need to get out of here. Follow me! Bailey said with worry. The mares exchanged looks of fear and then proceeded to follow Bailey. They walked in silence for a minute until Rainbow Dash spoken up.

"Uh excuse me, but where are you taking us?" she said, trying to provoke an answer.

"To this facilities Security Center. It is our best bet." Bailey said, turning his head to the right to make sure that he is heard.

"Why should we trust you?" Rainbow added.

"Well for one, I'm your best shot at survival." Bailey argued back.

"Survival of wha-"

"Rainbow! Just shut up and keep moving! I'll explain later, for Christ sake!" Bailey screamed at the top of his lungs, slightly picking up his pace in fear that he just provoked a SCP. Rainbow looked at Twilight, only to see her giving rainbow a irritated look. Rainbow expression grew from anger to sadness. Why can't anyone just answer her questions? It isn't like it is going to kill anyone. Is it?

"Rainbow. Whats wrong?" Twilight interrupted her train of thought.

"Nothing, Twi." Rainbow responded, trying to make her voice sound as calm as possible.

The group came upon another three-way. One of the other doors was open from Bailey, the other one closed. As the group reached the middle of the room, Bailey stopped and gestured the group to stop moving. Rainbow and Twilight saw that the creatures attention focused on the closed door.

"Do you hear that?" Bailey whispered.

"What?" Rainbow and Twilight responded.

"Shh!" Bailey ordered. The group listened in until they could hear what got Baileys attention.

"Hello?... Guys?...C'mon... Stop joking..." A voice echoed through the other side of the door. Bailey slowly approached the door. Twilight and Rainbow saw Bailey raise the object in his hands. Was it a weapon? They thought.

"Guys?... Hello?... Is there someone else here?... Hello? Anyone?!" The voice continued. Bailey opened the door, which lead to a room with a blast door and a red tint. Another one of the creatures stood in the middle of it, but with a different uniform of sorts. Bailey assumed it was one of the site janitors.

"What the hell?!" The man said as he stared back at Bailey. He couldn't see the ponies behind him though.

"Jeff, it's me, Captain Bailey!" Bailey yelled towards the janitor.

"Oh!" The janitor said, starting to walk forward. "It's just you Bai-" The janitor was interrupted by the decomposed hand of SCP-106 darting out of the ceiling, grabbing the man and pulling him up into the ceiling. The muffled scream of the man filled the room. The same evil laughter filled the room.

Bailey immediately pushed Twilight and Rainbow back and sealed the door. Rainbow had her eyes covered in fear and Twilight was in shock.

"What was that thing?!" Twilight screamed in shock.

"I'll explain later, C'mon, we need to get the fuck out of here, NOW!" Bailey yelled as he charged down the other passage. Rainbow and Twilight followed.

After two minutes of non-stop running, the group stopped. Bailey was breathing slightly harder that he was. Rainbow was taking deep breaths, and Twilight was already exhausted to point where she nearly collapsed onto the floor. Rainbow grabbed hold of her from doing so.

"Come on Twilight, it was only two minutes!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"Rainbow! You and me both know I don't exercise much." Twilight replied, gasping for breath. At that moment three small bangs sounded from the distance. Then a loud crash erupted, followed by several tiny explosions.

"What was that noise?" Rainbow asked Bailey.

"I honestly don't know, sounded closer than all of the other crashes and explosions." Bailey said, reaching for his radio.

"Tyler, come in, over. This is Bailey. Do you copy?" Bailey said over the radio. It took a couple seconds for Tyler to respond.

"Yes Bailey?" Tyler responded.

"Something blew up and it sounded close. I have a hunch that it was on the main level of the facility. Could you check the cameras and see if it was?" Bailey ordered. After a couple seconds, Tyler came back with a worry in his voice.

"There is a large amount of destruction between you and the checkpoint" Tyler replied.

"Fucking great! That's just what we need." Bailey said.

"We?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah, I found them!" Bailey informed Tyler.

"Alright! Good job, Bailey. There should be another way to the checkpoint, just hang in there Bailey." Tyler said, cutting off his radio afterwards.

"Who was that?" Twilight asked.

"One of my friends in the Security Center. He told me that we need to find another way back." Bailey said, looking irritated.

"Why?" Rainbow asked, hoping that the creature would answer her questions for once.

"Because that sound you heard was an explosion, and the destruction is blocking our way back to the Security Center." Bailey said, leaning back against the wall and sliding down to the floor. He than let out a long sigh, hoping that he didn't have to take a longer route back to the Security Center.

Rainbow and Twilight came up to Bailey and sat down next to him, waiting for the next move.

"Bailey, that's your name, right? Rainbow asked.

"Yeah, why? Bailey asked back.

"Because I wanted to apologize to you for being a total crapfest when we met." Rainbow said

"Listen, we can talk about it later. We need to get back to the Security Center. Now c'mom, we don't have all day!" Bailey said, getting up and proceeding to walk. The others followed him into the next passageway.
