^Sub section 83 tunnel 18

"Cave in! Everypony out!" yelled a lime green earth pony as the rock ceiling starts to crumble.

"Go,go,go!" He yelled to the crowd only to follow it leaving a lavender pony in the dust as the rock fell.

The lavender earth pony screamed in agony as a giant slab of rock fell onto her hind legs. "Aaaggghhhh! Somepony! Anypony! Help!" She started sobbing in pain as the rocks moved and shifted threateningly above her. "Hel-" She never finished her sentence as the rocks collapsed onto her, silencing her voice... forever.

^Command Central Level 14 Hall 7

"Dammit! Another tunnel just collapsed, boss!" Called out a dark brown stallion to the head pony.

The mare glared at him, her orange coat bristling in anger. "Where?"

"Tunnel 18 of section 83." He whimpered as he cowered under her silted blood red eyes.

"Ya mean our main coal tunnel?"

"Yes?" He said nervously, slowly backing away from the furious pony. He was dead in the next minute as she bucked him directly in the chest. She sighed and fixed her now bloody Stetson, trying to calm herself before her blood-lust could take over.

"Corporeal Red, are there any new... 'recruits' ready?" The red and blue mane and tailed pony shook her head, a little blood dripping off her black coat.

"I'm sorry to say, Lady Applejack, that the games are not for another 2 weeks."

"Then move it up, dammit!" She ordered.

"You know what happened last time, remember?"

Applejack flinched, she did indeed remember what had happened. It was a mess.

"Fine," She conceded. "But as soon as they start, tell me. We need to replace the 4 we lost and build up our forces."

Red nodded. "Yes ma'am," she said, and galloped off to do as she was told. The orange pony looked at a screen. "So close to our prize... after 58 years, great grand pappy..." She broke out into a fit of cruel and twisted laughter as her plans fall into place.
