Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Detective stepped inside the machine, and it activated. The detective found himself inside a virtual reality. the reality looked like a beautiful forest.

"Alright, all you need to do is survive. I'm going to set up waves of bots for you to fight off." Twilight said.

"What happens if i die?" Detective asked.

"Then you will just respawn. I'm still setting up the waves, In the mean time, why don't you test out some weapons?" Twilight said.

"Why not?" Detective said.

The detective wondered around the beautiful forest. He came across many cabins, old sheds, etc. inside one of the cabins was a series of weapons. (Blades, guns.)

"Ah, this is....odd." Twilight said.

"What happened?" Detective said.

"It is like the system is blocking me out!" Twilight said.

"I Don't want to be a part of this anymore!" Detective said.

"It's fine. I Spawned some more weapons in a cabin by the lake." Twilight said.

The detective followed the narrow forest path, to the beautiful lake. He entered a lakeside cabin and it was full of more weapons.

"I'm sorry, detective. I Should have let you out of there." Twilight said.

"What did celestia want me for originally?" Detective asked.

"She wanted you to fix the many problems here. And you still can! But first, you need to survive. I'm heading down the tower right now, meet me at the base of the tower!" Twilight said.

Suddenly,

[BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.]  The tower started collapsing. Ceilings falling, windows shattering, the whole place was falling apart! The detective exited the machine, and rode the elevator down. before the elevator could reach the exit floor, the strings broke and the elevator fell to the bottom of the shaft. Detective ran through the maze-like corridors of the labs, after what felt like hours of running, detective finally found an exit. Behind the the exit, was a training dojo.

"Ah, Detective! You're just in time to see my beautiful dojo fall to pieces!" Rainbow dash said.

"Is this your fault??" Detective shouted.

"Get a grip, the floors are falling out from under us! You can point hooves after the fall!" Rainbow dash said.

"If you didn't do this, then who did? Wheres twilight?" Detective said.

"She just passed through here. Make you're way to the base of the tower." Rainbow dash said.

The detective bolted to the other side of the dojo. And ran through another series of maze-like corridors. At the end, there was a garage.

"Detective! So good to see you! Could you help me with something?" Guard-1029 said.

"As long as it's quick!" Detective said.

"I Need you to grab that wrench over there, i need to fix my gun." Guard-1029 said.

"Nobody cares about you're stupid gun, we need to get moving!" Detective said.

"You don't understand! This gun could help a lot!" Guard-1029 said.

"Ugh, fine!" Detective said.

Detective walked over to the location of the wrench, And he picked it up. When suddenly, a helicopter came to the garage door, and started shooting rapidly.

"What the-" Detective shouted.

The helicopter kept shooting, and shooting. Detective and Guard-1029 hid behind a pile of boxes.

"What should we do?" Detective asked.

"...Shoot it." Guard-1029 said.

"But we need to fix that gun, it could help us!" Detective said.

"DO IT!!!!....Just, DO IT!!!!" Guard-1029 said.

"You can fix it, I'm not risking my life!" Detective said.

"Fine, I'll do it!" Guard-1029 said.

The guard made a run for the gun. All he had to do was tighten a few bolts, and it was completed.

"DETECTIVE, HEADS UP!!" Guard-1029 said.

The guard throws the gun towards detective. The detective quickly hops out from behind the boxes, and starts aiming for the helicopter. Suddenly, the helicopter started deploying bots. The detective, and guard-1029 started shooting bots immediately.

"Detective, i don't think we'll be able to handle them all!" Guard-1029 said.

"You're right!" Detective said.

An elevator opened up behind detective, and the guard.

"Detective, we could escape!" Guard-1029 said.

"Yeah, i kinda saw that." Detective said.

"Let's go!" Guard-1029 said.

Detective and the guard started running for the elevator. Then a bot grabbed guard-1029's leg.

"Agh, detective! HEELP!" Guard-1029 said.

The detective has two choices, he could run for the exit, and leave the guard behind. Or, he could save the guard. He chooses to make a run for it.

"Detective, the backstabber!" Guard-1029 said.

The detective watched as the bots threw the guard into the helicopter, and the bots started running for detective. When the bots got close to the elevator door, the detective closed it, and rode the elevator down.

The detective felt bad about the decisions he made. But then, he started to wonder: What's at the bottom of the elevator?

I Guess we'll just have to find out.
