Chapter 8: A little Detour

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Bailey had been walking for five minutes now, and so far he hasn't seen any signs of the destruction that Tyler was talking about. Something bothered him about Tyler, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Maybe I should stop worrying about it. After all, Tyler has been a huge help to me. Maybe it is just that he is a Class-D, that's all. Bailey thoughts were interrupted by a female voice behind him.

"Huh? Sorry, I wasn't listening." Bailey said, hoping whoever said it would repeat themselves.

"I said, how long have we been walking?" Rainbow said, becoming more and more impatient as time passes.

"Five minutes." Twilight answered Baileys question for him.

Bailey and the ponies walked for two more minutes before they came upon a L-shaped Hallway. On the outer corner was an elevator door, and another door was at the end of the hallway. Something about this door wasn't right though. Some sort of gas was spewing from the cracks of the door.

"Wait here!" Bailey whispered loudly as he moves ahead of the group to the door. He pressed the button next to the door and it opened about halfway. Bailey looked inside and almost lost his breath. It was the destruction that Tyler saw on the cameras. The whole hallway was covered in stone rubble. Fires were ravaging inside the debris as well. Bailey looked down to the floor of the hall and saw the head of a security guard, decapitated from wherever that body went. Blood and gore topped it all off.

"That's definitely not where we are going!" Bailey said as he stumbled backwards, about to puke. "I've seen some nasty things, but that is just... ugh." Bailey added as he looked at the elevator door. The fiery glow from the other hall seemed to point towards it.

"So, what now?" Twilight spoke out of the darkness.

"I have an idea." Bailey said as he press the "call for elevator" Button labeled on the wall. Within ten seconds the elevator came to a screeching halt on the other side of the door. The door then opened to a little square room. Since neither Rainbow or Twilight seen an elevator before, they couldn't help but to ask.

"Why are we going in this room?" Rainbow asked, becoming slightly paranoid.

"Nothing to worry about. This room will take us down a level. lets just say we are going on a little detour." Bailey said, getting in the elevator. Soon the other ponies got in. Bailey pressed a button on the wall that was shaped as a down arrow, and the doors closed. The elevator started to moved downwards until it came to a screeching halt. At least the elevator music gave everyone a sense of safety.

The door slid open to a dark, rusty brown square-shaped tunnel. Bailey was the first to move forward. Everything was oddly silent. Bailey's breathing picked up as he raised the object in his hands into the air, pointing it ahead. Twilight assumed it was weapon of sorts, but it didn't look like it would shoot arrows. Magic maybe?

There was a turn at the end of the hall, which lead into a large room. In the middle of the room was a bunch of wall-looking structures with a yellow line painted on the top of them.

"It's a storage area." Bailey said as if one of the others was going to ask a question. As the group moved forward they heard a voice echo out of the darkness.

"Who's there?!" The voice said, sounding scared and terrified.

"Uh, hel-" Twilight tried to say, but was interrupted by Bailey shutting her mouth with his hand.

"Don't talk! It isn't what you think it is." Bailey whispered violently, looking around anxiously.

"What is it?' Rainbow whispered.

"It is one of the SCP's" Bailey whispered back, slowly moving froward. Bailey then peaked around the corner, seeing nothing.

"SCP?" Rainbow said, getting excited on the inside because Bailey is starting to answer her questions.

"It is the things I've been running from. I'll tell you more later, now isn't the time to have a conversation." Bailey said, gesturing the mares to move forward. Rainbow frowned as she was, yet again, blocked off from asking questions. Twilight lit her horn up for some extra light, as the room was too dim for her to see.

"This SCP is known to imitate our voices. It's like a mix of an alligator and a frog, but it cannot see and it has extremely long teeth. If it looks at you, don't make a single sound." Bailey informed the ponies as they start to navigate the maze that the storage crates seem to create.

When the group got to the middle of the room, Bailey saw something that nearly made him scream out of insanity. A pipe caved it and was spewing out smoke in their way.

"This shit's getting old, can we just get a break?" Bailey asked, getting frustrated at the situation at hand.

"The smoke is not blowing that high, can't we just craw under it?" Rainbow suggested. Bailey turned around and looked at Rainbow. She didn't know how to react, since there was a glass shield covering Baileys face and she couldn't see his expressions.

"Dashie, I think you're right." Bailey said positively. Bailey then got onto his stomach and started crawling through the smoke with one thing on his mind. If he can make it, they can make it. They are smaller than he is, so basically he is the hardest part of this ordeal.

Once Bailey made it through, he gestured the others to craw through. First it was Rainbow, then it was Twilight. As soon as the unicorn got in a standing position, she looked forward. Something caught the attention of Rainbow and Bailey, but what was it? She thought. Then she heard it. A loud, heavy footstep started to emit from the darkness. The pace of the footsteps got faster and faster until she saw it. It was an SCP.

"Where are you?! Show yourself!" The creature shouted. It had the body of an alligator, but legs of a frog. It was also red. Just like Bailey said. Its teeth were as sharp as daggers and it had what looked like spines coming out of its back.

"Don't make a single noise, girls" Bailey whispered silently. Sweat started to pour down Rainbow and Twilight's faces. Their hearts were pounding out of their chests. For what seemed like hours were only seconds. The creature started to move forward, looking left and right. After a good minute and a half, Bailey got in a standing position.

"Come on, the other hallway is just in front of us. We can make it!" Bailey exclaimed as he moved forwards. The others started to follow. As they got to the entrance of the other hallway though, the sounds of the heavy footsteps picked up again, but this time it was running. Twilight turned around and saw the creature running right at them as it started to scream.

"Bailey!" She screamed as she started to run forward.

"Oh Shit! RUN!!!" Bailey yelled as he charged into the hallway. Rainbow started sprinting with him. They got to a corner and spun around it and continued to sprint down the hallway. Their hearts were pumping so fast that it felt like it was going to explode. Bailey pulled out and pistol and aimed it behind him, firing three shots. Rainbow and Twilight nearly jumped at how loud the gunshots were. Bailey turned his head forward and ran into the elevator door. He started to spam the button to call the elevator down.

"C'mon! C'mon!" Bailey yelled as the elevator would seem to never come. The mares were exhausted as their breaths seemed to do nothing to stop their screaming muscles. Rainbow and Twilight turned, only to see the SCP charging at them.

"This is it, Twilight." Rainbow said, tears rolling down her eyes as she grabbed hold of Twilight. "I am so sorry I brought you into this" she muttered out. At that moment Bailey turned around with his carbine and started unloading on the hideous creature. It started to let out blood gurgling screams, but the bullets were only enough to slow the monster down from its previous speed. The blood of the monster was spewing out all over the walls, but as if it cared. The monster was only 20 feet away, and as it got closer, the lavender unicorn spoke out.

"NO!" She yelled as she pointed her horn at the creature. It lit up as a transparent purple wall appeared in front of the group. The SCP crashed into the wall, pushing Twilight back a little. Her face was covered in sweat due to how much energy she was using. The monster kept trying to charge them but only to crash into the walls of the shield.

"I can't hold it for much longer!" She struggle to say as the shield seemed to weaken only more and more. Ding! A distinctive sound was heard behind the group as the elevator doors opened.

"Hurry! Get in!" Bailey yelled as he pulled Rainbow into the elevator. Twilight back slowly, making sure her shield ran out as soon as she got into the elevator. Bailey pressed the up arrow button on the elevator and the doors started to shut. The shield ran out just at that time. The monster made one last attempt to catch its prey. It charged forward and leaped into the air. By the time the doors shut a huge bang of the monster hitting the door echoed in the elevator.
