Lightning ran through the maintenance tunnels that ran behind the fast food district of the stadium. He was running from three crazy ponies that burst into his shop and tried attacking him. He knocked over a locker in an attempt to slow the crazed ponies, but the climbed under or over the locker. A door at the end of the hall burst open, with three more crazed ponies barreling out of attacking one of the sushi chefs. They tore and ripped into his coat and pulled out tendons and flesh and ate it down. Lightning quickly threw open one of the doors and slipped inside the burger joint. His three pursuers pounded on the door, but quickly gave up and presumably went to attack the sushi chef. He sat against the door and caught his breath, he wasn't the type to run a lot for a long time.

"Who are you," a voice announced themselves. He looked up and saw a fatter, orange unicorn holding a bat in his magical aura. Next to him was a pegasus that was presumably his wife. She had a light blue coat. "Are you going to answer me?"

"Wait, Winter, he's probably just as scared as us," his wife told him. "What's your name honey?"

"My name is Lightning Snow," I told them.

"I'm Honey Delicate and this is my husband Winter Treats," Honey told me. "Aren't you the pegasus that owns the soda shop?"

"Yes, I am," I answered. Winter put down the bat and sighed. "I have a question, how do I get to the hotel district from here?"

"Oh, are you going to the hotel district," Honey asked me.

"Yeah, I am," I told her. "Why?"

"Oh well, we were going to head over to the hotel district and get back to our hotel and hold up in there and not in some crummy fast food joint," she told me. "But, yeah we know where the hotel district is."

We all jumped as the door that I had come in through bust down and two crazed ponies flew in, followed by two more.

"Come on this way," Winter told us. We ran out the front entrance right into the main walkway of the stadium. Ponies were attacking, whether it be the crazed ponies or ponies just running from the crazed ponies, knocking everything out of the way. I watched as a unicorn filly was trampled by hoards of running ponies. "Come on, it's this way to the hotels."

We ran after Winter as he ran through the mobs of ponies. I looked around to see if I could see anypony that I knew, whether it was a family member or a friend. I looked around some more but didn't see anything so I continued to look forward. We continued to run until Winter was tackled from the side by a crazed pony that started ripping into his throat and face. Honey stopped to help him, but I continued running not looking forward to getting my eaten. I continued running towards where Winter was leading us to before his untimely demise.

When I got to the area where the halls lead to your rooms the mobs of ponies became thinner and thinner. Every so often I would see a pony that had its face bucked in and had broken legs. After the ponies that had their heads bucked in there were a set of bloody hoofsteps that went on for about three steps. I continued walking until I passed an open door that read '247'. It had a set of hoof marks on the door and was busted in, the hinges broke off from the door frame and were stuck to the door. I continued walking on towards my room, which was number '258'. I stopped when I heard a crash from room '247'. I turned around and started walking back towards the room. I looked into the run and was met with a buck to the face from an orange blur. The buck sent me backward and I landed on the ground before another buck knocked me into unconsciousness.
