dead space 2: how did i get here

Twilight awoke to a bright beam of light shining into her eyes, when it was removed from her line of sight she saw her good friend Applejack holding a flashlight in her mouth. "Oh hey Applejack what time is it, did i oversleep, how is spike."

"Twilight there aint no tahm to explain ya'll need to listen to me, we are both in terrible, terrible danger." At that moment a hissing could be heard behind Applejack at which point she lashed out with her back legs, bucking a strange bat like creature to the ground. suddenly a huge mixture of screams and roaring erupted from behind her. "Twi we need to move, NOW!" Applejack then proceeded to gallop through the hospital with Twiligh in hot persuit. Twilight ran as fast as she could, there were deformed, nightmarish monsters jumping at the two mares trying to tare them both to shreds. "quick this way, through this door" shouted Applejack as Twilight ran towards her but just as twilight ran through the door a monster seemingly dead in a wheelchair pounced on twilight impaling her right shoulder with one of its sharp blade like limbs. Twilight tried to fight it off but to no avail she thought she was a dead mare, but as the beast raised its blade to take another swipe it was knocked off of Twilight in a flash of orange and sent sailing through the door which immediately shut, crushing the creature into nothing but a bloody mess.

As Twilight got to her feet she had tears in her eyes and gased at the wound she had sustained from the evil, deformed creature, "Applejack what is going on here, where am I and what in the hay are those-those THINGS!"

"Ah dont know Twi and ah certainly aint got a clue as to where we are, all ah know is that we are here and that there is this thing which calls it's self 'Diana' aparently she is a girl human which is what these things are, except these 'things' are dead"

"DEAD!? how the buck can they be dead? they were running at us trying to kill us" Twilight shouted in plain confusion.

"Look ah dont know how it works jus' trust me on this one" said Applejack as she put a hoof to her ear. "Daina ah'v found Twilight"

"Excelent work Applejack,now try to get her back here alive" said a female voice seemingly from nowhere.

"Where did that voice come from" Twilight asked her orange friend

"from this thing in mah ear i think Daina called it a 'communicator', i can hear her from far away with it, if we can get to her she said she can get us home."

"good i dont want to have to stay here any longer." Twilight preceeded to limp through the halls of the hospital with the support of Applejack, they suddenly entered a room with a big glass window in it and there was another human sctratching something onto it. Twilight walked over to him and asked, "um exscuse me but could you tell us the way to th-aaahhh!" the man spun round and put a knife to her throat,

"Tiedman said that we-all the key subjects need to be eliminated-whats one more" Applejack was stood stiff not wanting to make a move in case it hurt Twilight.

"im not a key subject, what are you talking about..." the man stared at her

"...You-you really dont remember what we did to you and your friend." the man suddenly released the lavender unicorn. "There is a flashlight and medical kit in that wall locker, you should grab them" said the man looking at the greavious wound on Twilights shoulder.

"Uh thank you i guess" said twilight slowly edgeing towards the locker, she opened it and there was indeed a flashlight and a small bottle of white pills inside. The purple unicorn gulped down the pills and suddenly felt alot better and her wound slowly healed. "that-thats amazing" she exclaimed in pure shock, she turned round with a smile on her face to look at thew man standing there, "Twilight we are all gonna burn for what we did to you" he suddenly, without warning stuck the scalpal into his neck and slowly pulled it acrooss his throat sending blood everywhere. Twilight froze in shock, she turned around and threw up what she assumed was her breakfast. Applejack began walking over to Twilight, doing her best to avoid the blood that covered the floor, she reached the lavender unicorn who had now broken down into tears.

"Applejack, whats going on, why is this happening."

"Ah dont know but we need tah get tah Daina so we can get home to our friends."

"Ok AJ" muttered Twilight through her tears as she got up from the floor, "lets go." Twilight hovered the flashlight in front of her and proceeded through the door followed by Applejack. They soon came to a pitch black room, Twilight raised her flashlight and wandered around the debris that littered the room. She and Applejack were nearing the exit when a bunch of squares on the wall lit up with a loud bang causing both fillies to jump back and shout in fright.

"oh mah Celestia! You ok Twi"

"Y-yeah im good come on AJ we need to keep moving" Said Twilight in a rather shaky tone. The two friends entered a room with one exit that had one exit that had the word "locked" across a red circle in the middle of the door. Applejack raised her hoof to her ear.

"Uh Daina we got ourselves a bit of a problem 'ere, theres a door here but its locked and there aint no way we are gettin' it open." the communicater crackled before a femenin voice could be heard through it loud and clear.

"Ok Applejack hold on let me see, uh, ok there should be a big red and grey square in that room can you see it." Applejack gazed around the room before she saw a strange red and grey square on the wall with a big blue circle across the middle.

"Yer ah see it"

"Ok im imputting you and Twilight into the system and authorising you to use them, uh give me a second... Ok Applejack you are recognised by the computer as a class 2 engineer and twilight you are recognised as a class 4 military precision sniper, i apoligise for that but those are the only two codes that im aware of at this piont in time however if you find a big yellow capsual with a blue screen on it you should be able to buy items and weapons from them with credits you find lying around. Oh and another thing, you two will both get different starter items from the shop due to your difference in class recognition."

"Thanks Daina" replied the orange farm pony as she moved her hoof away from her ear. "Ok Twi, lets go." The two friends trotted over to the vent, Placing her orange hoof on the centre circle Applejack waited and after several seconds a synthetic female voice spoke up seemingly from nowhere.

"Welcome, equine, Applejack, engineer, authorisation granted." Applejack smiled and began to crawl throught the vent. Next twilight stepped up, placed her hoof upon the centre circle and recieved a similar message." Welcome, equine, Twilight Sparkle, military personel, authorisation granted." Twilight then began to crawl after her friend.

"Uh AJ, I have a quick question."

"Sure hon what is it."

"Uh what happens if we run into one of those things in here, i mean there is barely enough room to move already and we..." At that moment they rounded a corner and saw two blade-like spikes poking out round a corner, both ponies froze with fear, afraid that one wrong move or sound could grab its attention. "psst AJ, what do we do, please tell me theres a plan"

"As sorry as ah am tah say it, ah aint got no plan, so ah guess we sneak up on it, ah mean we cant go back, if we did we'd make too much noise."

"Ok AJ lets get this over with" as much as twilight hated even the very thought of harming, let alone KILLING anything. But at this stage it was about survival, and if these creature were already dead then by logic she wouldnt really be killing them, in fact she would be doing them a favour, however the idea just didnt sit right with her. The two slowly and silently crawled towards the creature, they were ready to pounce when twilight accidentally caught her leg on a piece of metal mesh cutting her legs slightly, "OW!" As soon as that word had escaped twilights muzzle she was certain that they were dead, but instead of killing them the monst just scurried away through the vent.

"Wow now that right there was a close call" announced Applejack leeting go of a breath she didnt know she was holding.

"Yeah no kidding." Replied Twilight looking behind her breifly. "c'mon lets get the hay out of this vent." Both ponies were nearing the end of the vent and could see the exit, but just as they thought they were out of the vent they fell through the bottom of the vent and into a strange and very small room with a floating body and glass walls all around them.

"OW! Twi could ya get yerself off me please?" the orange pony groaned

"Oh yeah sorry about that, so now where are we" Applejack raised her hoof once more.

"Uh Daina we have run ourselves into a bit of a snag, we are in a room surronded by glass walls and there is a hovering dead body next to us, it seems to be next to a machine."

"Ok Applejack that machine is a kenisis restraint module, is there a red box next to it."

"Yeah there is"

"Ok good take off the front and inside should be a kenisis pack, it is rectangular with round edges and a dark blue screen on it,"

"Ok ah got it, now what"

"Now you should be able to attatch it to your ankle and pick up objects and throw them without phisicly touching them." Applejack glanced at Twilight so it is like magic then she thought to herself as she atached the small machine around her ankle.

"Ok thanks daina." Applejack looked around for something to test her new ability on, there where some very sharp rods on the bed next to them, she pointed her hoof and flicked her ankle and suddenly a transparent, violet coloured beam shot from the machine and the rod began to lift from the ground, Applejack now moved her hoof in a circle and marvled as the rod followed her hoof movments, she looked at the rods. "Wow, these things sure do look sharp, ah wonader if we can use them to defend ourselves." Applejack slowly rotated on the spot, pointed her hoof at a window and gave her hoof a little thrust forward, the rod then when shooting through the glass at a remarkable pace and sticking halfway into a wall. "heh, ah guess they can", as she said this, as if on cue two monsters came wondering around the corner towards them growling in a sinister and dark tone. "Quick Twi the rods." Twilight picked up the deadly piece of metal, and even though she did not want to hurt anything, she flung it into the monster of a thing that was charging at her. What was left of was now a bloody mess pinned to the wall, Applejack was not as fortunate, the second monster lunged at her pinning her to the floor just like Twilight had been as they were escaping the first medical bay. However, Applejack had a great deal more strength than her friend and with all her might was able to buck the creature off her, she turned, picked up the a rod and shot it into the monster's back pinning it to the floor, Applejack ran over to the still-alive abomination and repetidly stomped until nothing was left but a pool of mush.
Applejack stepped back teary eyed and broke down into sobs before her best friend at the scene she was responsible. "Tilight ah-ah didn't mean to go outta control like that but ah was-ah was just so scared that..."

"Its fine AJ, of course you didn't want to die, nopony would. Especialy to the hands of watever these things are." Whispered the lavender unicorn nas she slowly trotted over to her traumatised friend.

"it aint that Twi its just-well if i die here then i will never get to see mah Rainbow again" Twilight suddenly remembered the farm ponies passionate love for the cyan pegasus and now understood perfectly why she acted as she did.

"Oh AJ, I'm so sorry. But don't worry because we are going to get out of here, we will see our friends again and most importantly you will see Rainbow dash again" The farm pony looked up, the tears in her eyes seeming to stop momentarily.

"Ya-ya really think so Twi."

"I know so"

"Promise"

"Cross my heart hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye" Announced the unicorn while making several hoof gestures at the same time.

both ponies walked over to the bodies and looked down as two gleaming objects fell from their pockets, picking them up they could see that the word 'credits' was written along the front of the object.

"Well this should come in handy if Daina was right about the shops, speaking of which, we need to keep moving if we want to get to her." And with that the two ponies set off again through the deadly sprawl in search of their friend.
