The floor was cold, and the room was dark. A blue pony with a radical blue and yellow mane rested inside. Blue Sprint was lying on his bed staring out his cell window. A loud, vicious storm raged outside. It was morning, at least Blue thought it was morning. He just woke up and had not been escorted out of his cell yet. Security was thick in this prison, with a guard to prisoner ratio of 3 to 1. Blue got up and walked to his cell door to see if he could find anypony else. Just across the cell block was Blue's best friend, Night Fall. Night Fall had a dark blue coat with a black mane, he was also a unicorn. Night was still asleep. Blue couldn't see any other pony from where he was, mostly because Blue Sprint and Night Fall were the only two prisoners in their cell block. Due to recent releases and prisoner on prisoner killings, cell block 4 rather empty.
Blue could hear a door open across the block. He stepped to the back of his room to stay hidden. Blue was not the kind of pony to get in a fight, using his words instead of his hooves. "Prisoner 4-4 and prisoner 4-12!" It was a guard, here to escort the cell block to the canteen for breakfast. "Wake up you worthless scum!" Then there was a banging of hoof on metal. Blue moved to his cell door to be let out and Night just got up with a loud yawn. The storm outside started to calm, but the tenseness in the air did not. The guards let Night out first to the canteen, leavening Blue to sit in his cell. A few minutes pass when the guards come back in for Blue, the let him out without hesitation, but they were on high alert. "Come on you worthless earth pony." One of the guards muttered. Blue being an earth pony didn't take offence. Being a kind pony gets you a far way, but Blue knew that not caring about other's opinion gets you farther.
The guards brought Blue outside to be greeted by a light rain, a cold calm breeze, and Grit... Grit was a grey coated earth pony with an even grayer mane, and he is the kind of pony that takes nothing from nopony, he has killed 9 guards and has dewinged a pegasus (Not motioning the many ponies he has killed outside of prison). Grit was surrounded by four guards trying to apprehend him, he was standing over some poor bleeding guard that must of made a snide remark. "Come on 4-4, no need to stop and stare." One of the guards spoke while pushing Blue along.
The guards finally got Blue to the canteen, the room was large with plenty of seating. The food however, not so extravagant. "Hey Blue! Get over here!" Night shouted through the commotion from across the room. Blue made his way to the serving line, getting a bruised apple and some kind of mush. He sat down with Night and started their usual conversation. "So, got anything new?" Night always greets Blue with his signature question of the morning.
"I think Grit killed another guard" Blue answered.
"You think?" Night questioned with a smile.
"Well I walked out into the yard to see Grit standing over some guard who was either dead or knocked out."
"Well before we add his body count to 10, we should ask One-Wing." Night protested.
One-Wing was the pegasus that got dewinged by Grit. He had a white coat and a green short mane and tail. He always gets escorted last to the canteen, so he knows if it's a confirmed kill.
"Well do you got anything new?" Blue asked Night.
"Rush tried to fly for it again, she didn't make it as usual." Night said before taking a bite from his apple.
"You mean that pegasus you like from the mare wing?" questioned Blue.
"Yea, she tried to get out just before dinner. She was too hungry to fly faster than the sentries, and she got shot down by one of the anti-air unicorns."
"Ouch!" Blue cringed at the thought of getting shoot out of the sky. "Is she alright?" Blue became worried.
"Yea, she's in the infirmary. She got her left wing busted up, and she lost a tooth." Night's voice got a little sadder.
Rush was a bright blue pegasus with a white bundled mane from the mare wing of the prison, she mostly worked in the prison garden and helped with cleaning, but she tried to escape any chance she got. From flying from the yard to hiding in garbage bags. Night worked in the garden with Rush. Blue worked cleaning in the mare wing due to good behavior, so him and Rush had a lot of time to talk about things. Blue was worried about Rush because Night and her were Blue's only real prison friends.
Blue was friends with almost every prisoner, but he was only friends with them through lies. Some guards referred to Blue as a 'Silver tongue'. Blue once persuaded a guard to let him try on his armor. He was successful only to be put into solitary for stealing a guards armor. Night however was know as 'The Thief'. Name something you can smuggle into prison, Night has had it at some point in time.
It was Blue Sprint's and Night Fall's first month in prison, and they already had a name for themselves.
"Ok everyone!" A captain of the guard appeared in the canteen's entrance. "Breakfast is over! Everyone move to the yard!" The captain commanded.
"We better get moving before we get trampled." Night nudged Blue to hurry up.
"Ok, I'm going." Blue protested.
Everypony dumbed their trays and headed to the yard (or as some call it 'the battlefield'). The yard was a large open half circle. The circle half was surrounded by the cell blocks. The flat side was covered by the canteen and work building. It was still raining, but the wind has stopped and everypony went to there favorite tables to talk. Every once and a while a race is had around the half circle yard. Most of the time however, were fights between prisoners. The best ones were usually unicorn duels. Sometimes a prisoner will get killed in very comical ways.
Blue and Night sit down at their table by the entrance of cell block 4, their cell block. They mostly kept to themselves. Only talking to other ponies if they walked by, or there was a massive fight and they needed to protect themselves. At that moment, One-Wing walked by. "How's the wings, One-Wing?" Night said to One-Wing.
"Very funny Night Fall." He replied very seriously.
"So what happened with Grit?" Blue jumped in to question.
"+1 to the body count."
"Really? What that guard do to set him off?" Night asked.
"I asked one of the guards. He said that the guard was a new recruit, he was not informed about Grit and he stepped on his tail."
"Grit will just about kill anypony for any reason." Night announced.
"You're just lucky you got out alive One-Wing." Blue said looking right at One-Wing's bare right side.
At that moment, a few guards walked up to the table. "You're getting a few new cell mates in a few minutes. Just don't kill them on their first day."
"Can do Mr. prison guard." Night replied with a smile on his face. The guards gave him fierce looks while they walked away.
"So, who do you think are fresh meat will be?" Night said to Blue.
"I don't know, I really hope we get another earth pony." Blue looked around the stallion yard to only see 3 other earth ponies, Grit and two complete unknowns.
"Please, we need another unicorn." Night interrupted pointing to his own horn.
"I'm going to laugh when you two get a pegasus, that will complete the set." One-Wing put in as he walked away towards cell block 7.
They all laugh, leading to Night and Blue sitting at the table, waiting, in bright hopes for their new cell mates. Across the yard, Blue and Night could see two ponies being escorted towards them. A stallion and a... mare? The stallion had a white coat and a gold sleek mane. He was also wearing golden sunglasses. The mare was a purple pegasus with a purple and yellow flourishing mane. They walk up to the table to greet their new cell mates. "Hold on right here! What is a mare doing in the stallion wing?" Night shouted at an escort guard.
"Why don't you ask them yourself?" The guards shoved the two at Blue and Night, leaving them alone.
"Ok, what is a mare doing in the stallion wing?" Night shouted at the mare's face.
"First off, you should ask my name first before screaming at me, and secondly, I'm classified as 'too dangerous' for the other girls." She spoke with an extreme amount of sass. This irritated Night Fall.
"Ok." Night said trying to calm down. "What is your name?"
"You are supposed to introduce yourself you know." She said, like she wanted to piss him off. Night was about to burst before Blue butted in.
"I'm Blue Sprint and my fine unicorn friend is Night Fall." Blue said holding Night back from blasting this pegasus over the wall.
"Night Fall? Sounds like a pansy name." Night was about to blow.
"My name's Violet Ozone by the way."
"Well it is nice to meet you Violet, may I ask who you are?" Blue looked over to the stallion who had already sat himself down, acting like he ruled this prison.
"The name's Lucky Strike, I suggest you hide your wallets from me." He spoke with a very firm, but suave voice.
"Please, you should hide your wallet from me!" Night yelled, feeling out ranked by an earth pony.
"Oh I bid you no real threat, I just use that phrase as my own slogan."
"And why would that be your slogan?" Blue question with an eyebrow raised high.
"I'm a Conpony, I'm in here for so many things, insurance fraud, credit card theft, and many other things revolving around your bit purse." He answered firmly. "And, I've been in prison before, and escaped." The whole group around him were surprised.
"You should try telling that to Rush." Blue spoke up. "She would think your a liar all the way to Sunday."
"Oh really?" Lucky felt challenged. "And where exactly is this mare?"
"Try checking the infirmary." Violet said. Blue and Night were surprised even more now.
"Wait how do you know Rush? She never mentioned any purple pegasus that likes getting on ponies nerves." Night questioned.
"Well, if you must know. I was good friends with the girl before being arrested. She ran in my illegal pegasus races." Violet answered with even more sass.
"Wait, so why are you in here anyway?' Lucky butted in to question her.
"Well, as I already told you, I ran illegal pegasus races. I'm also in here for 72 counts of arson, 106 counts of vandalism, 4 counts of illegal pegasus racing, and countless counts of conspiring against the princesses."
The whole group sat there, with their jaws hitting the floor. Who was this pegasus? And how is it that she did all this? Little did they know that Violet Ozone was an anarchist group leader. She got charged with all these crimes due to being caught and having none of her rebellion captured. She worked all over equestria, from the badlands to the Crystal Empire. She was a complete menace.
"So how did you get caught anyways?" Asked Lucky.
"A traitor named Crimson Karma. She is in the mare wing as we speak, probably surrounded by guards protecting her. As Celestia as my witness I will kill that mare!" Violet screamed with pure hatred. Even scaring the stallions beside her. There was an ominous silence in the yard, like every pony in there stopped what they were doing to see what the commotion was about. Lucky decided to break that silence.
"So what is there to do around here, other than sitting around talking?" He asked.
"Well, that is 80% of what you can do here. Every once in a great while there is race or a fight breaks out." Blue answered.
Suddenly, a loud commotion started near cell blocks 1 and 2. Then a small explosion! Without hesitation, everypony in the yard were screaming and running for safety. Night and Blue grabbed their new cell mates and ran for cover in cell block 4. A few small fire balls flew by, just nearly missing them. They finally take cover in the safety of their cells. All of them breathing heavily. "What. The. Hay. Just. Happened?" Lucky asked through his heavy breaths.
"He's at it again." Night answered.
"Don't. Play. The. Pronoun. Game. With. Me." Lucky was still catching his breath. "Who. Are. You. Talking. About?"
"Inferno Flare." Blue and Night said together.
"Inferno what? So your telling me some pony is setting this prison ablaze." Violet asked. Even she was scared at this moment.
"Do you remember the Trottingham mega-blaze?" Blue said. "That was this guy. He is a complete lunatic, and one of very few unicorns who can use elements with their horns instead of magic."
"So are we going to die? Because the last thing I wanted to do is die in prison." Lucky said worryingly.
"You're not going to die!" Night shouted. "Hopefully Eos shows up."
"Let me guess, he is another pony that plays an important role in this prison." Violet said.
"You called it." Blue Replied.
The four sat in silence, other than the screaming and the explosions happening outside. They were not sure what to expect in the end. Would they walk out to a courtyard full of charred corpses? Would they walk out and find that the whole prison is on fire. After some time, everything went quite. They decide to come out of hiding to see what is left of the prison, only to find it mostly intact. The ground was scorched. Some tables were melted. Inferno Flare was in chains in the middle of the yard. With a muzzle on his mouth and a metal cuff on his horn. Eos standing by him.
Now everyone had started coming out of safety to see what had happened. Most ponies got out unscathed. Some however, were not so lucky. I few had burns on their bodies. One pony even was missing his tail from the fire. Luckily, nopony was dead. A commotion started in the crowd. Mostly questions like 'Did anyone see what happened?' and 'Are we safe?' But nopony know what really happened except Eos. "Hey Eos!" Night Fall spoke up through the chatter.
"Do you know what the hay just happened?" Night asked.
"I'm not even sure what happened." Eos replied.
"Well, you are the only one who can keep Inferno under raps."
"I know that, but I just don't know what set him off this time."
"Well why don't we ask him?" Night suggested.
They proceeded to removing Inferno's muzzle, only to have him break into maniacal, insane laughter. Spreading fear in most of the ponies who weren't even part of the event. Some of the over-watch guards were frightened by his laughter. They quickly put the muzzle back on. Failing in their attempts to communicate with this insane pony. "So why is it that this Eos character can keep that completely insane pony under control." Lucky whispered to Blue.
"Eos is like the father of the stallion wing, and he is the only unicorn here who has been able to master mind control. He uses it to keep the peace in here. He is trying to get out on parole for good behavior." Blue Sprint replied.
After some time, the yard was orderly again. Every prisoner resumed their daily routines. Blue Sprint headed to work in laundry, while Night Fall headed to the infirmary to check on Rush. Leaving Lucky and Violet to themselves in the yard. This morning started with Grit killing a guard. Then Inferno Flare almost burning the prison down. This may have been the ponies most exciting start to a day, but it was not over yet.
