When she finally regained her senses, she was laying in her bed, Scarlet and the Overmare standing by. Sunshine was cowering back from Scarlet as the psycho mare kept flashing evil grins at her.

"Oh good, you're awake." The Overmare sounded only slightly thrilled. "Scarlet tells me you found your way into our, ahem, experiment lab."

Blitz knew if she spoke right now she was going to unload all the fury and rage she could only have ever imagined feeling, so instead she gave a single nod.

"Ah. Unfortunate." The Overmare shook her head. "If you were interested, you should have asked. We would have started you out in the less extreme lab."

Blitz couldn't believe there were two of those torture chambers in the Stable. She swallowed the urge to throw up again...barely.

"I want nothing to do with those."

"Understandable. Not all ponies can stomach the tests we run there." The Overmare feigned sympathy. "You will not be expected to assist."

Blitz clenched her teeth. "Leave us." She said, aiming it at the Overmare and Scarlet.

"Blitz..." Scarlet began.

"Fucking leave before I kill you." Blitz growled.

The two withdrew and Blitz slammed the door shut with her magic. She shut her eyes and groaned, sensing Sunshine drawing close to her.

"You saw?" The mare asked softly.

"I saw." Blitz struggled not to gag. "You were right. Its a torture chamber. I can't..." She stopped and took a breath, her expression hardening. "This cannot go on. It must be stopped."

Sunshine blinked. "H-how?"

"Sunshine...I hate to ask this of you... but if I'm going to succeed I need your help."

"What do you need?"

"How good are you at acting?"

Another blink. "What do I need to do?"

"First of all, I need you to know I will never hurt you. Not like them. But...in order to pull this off, I need to uh, kinda rough you up a little. Or act like I am, anyway."

Sunshine looked confused. Blitz sighed.

"Its like this..."

After explaining her plan to Sunshine, which the slave mare eagerly agreed to help with, Blitz took a long nap. She awoke about midnight and quickly checked to be sure her suit had everything she needed. She strapped a knife belt to her waist, and nodded at Sunshine.

"Go to your place, quietly!"

Sunshine vanished noiselessly. Blitz tapped into her pipbuck, pulling up the info she needed. She made her way cautiously along the corridor, taking care to make no noise and making sure to note the positions of any dots.

She made it to her destination without being spotted. Luckily, Sunshine had expertly gained the access code to the Overmare's office while she napped, and getting in was a breeze. With a bit of searching, she was able to locate the passcode to open the Stable door, and after loading it into her pipbuck, she pulled up the location of the slave cell block and headed there.

Again no sign of any pony. The slaves were stunned to see her and at first cowered back.

"Shhh." She whispered. "I'm here to help you get out. Sunshine...I mean S143 told me to tell you to trust me completely."

Not exactly, but a little white lie was better than failing this mission.

The slaves were very cooperative then. Apparently Sunshine was very well liked. It took some doing, but soon a group of approximately 50 slaves was being led quietly through the Stable to the door. Blitz had them hide, then looked to the door. The gaurds were right there, talking in low voices.

A movement let her know that Sunshine was in place, and she drew a baton from a nearby stack of crates and gave a signaling wave to Sunshine's hideout.

The slave mare reacted instantly, running out and right for the gaurds. Blitz waited, but not long. Timing was everything for this plan. She had to be sure she got ahold of Sunshine before the gaurds so she would not be injured, but they needed to be drawn away from the control panel.

"Hey you! Stop!" One gaurd yelled.

Both ran towards her, and she swerved to avoid them. Blitz immediately went into action, running forward at a slow pace, faking being totally out of breath.

"St-stop her!" She called out, between gasps that any pony paying attention would have known were fake. "Don't let her get away...whew...gah...too fast..."

The gaurds listening and continued to chase Sunshine, who kept going in circles, keeping them focused on her. Blitz waited a second to be sure they weren't watching, then motioned to the others' hiding place. The "get ready" signal. They would only have mere seconds to run out of there between the door opening and the arrival of the Overmare...as the door being opened was loud.

She rapidly entered the passcode, took a breath, counted to three, and hit "enter". The door creaked and squealed as it slowly opened.

"NOW!" she yelled.

The slaves raced from hiding and straight for the Stable door, but halfway there a sickeningly familiar voice called out over a loudspeaker.

"Not so fast! You are going nowhere!" The Overmare.

Unicorns started pouring in at that moment, looking gleeful. This had not been expected. At least not this quick.

"Oh fuck." Blitz muttered.

These slaves were trusting her, and she'd be damned if she was going to let them down. She leaped away from the control panel, her magic catching up multiple batons and other items for weapons and putting them in the slaves' hooves.

"This is your only chance!" She yelled. "Fight!"

The unicorns attacked, and the slaves had the sense to put up their weapons and fight back. Blitz herself was right in the middle of it, despite not being a very skilled fighter, knocking her fellow unicorns left and right. She took particular pleasure in bashing her baton down onto Scarlet's skull, knocking her out cold.

The slaves fought thier way to the door and out of it, with Blitz at thier rear beating back any unicorns that tried stopping them.

"Fuck you!" She yelled with almost each one she struck, her rage boiling over.

All the slaves were out the door now, and Blitz was backing up, warily watching the unicorns that stared back dazed and weakened. Then she heard a cry.

Her gaze went the direction of the sound, and to her horror she saw Sunshine caught by two unicorns, fighting to get free. Blitz weighed her options, and then started forward.

"Blitz! No! Go back!" Sunshine cried. "Save the rest! Leave me here!"

"Fuck no." Blitz returned, knocking ponies out of her way as she approached. "You're getting out of here too, Sunshine."

She beat the two unicorns back, catching Sunshine in her magic and turning. Unfortunately, there was now a mass of recovered unicorns in her way. She blinked, mind racing. She had only one option as the ponies converged on her and the Stable door began to close.

Summoning all the magic power she had, she levitated Sunshine up high and flung her through the door. She landed in a heap, scrambling up and looking back.

Their eyes locked for one second before the door slammed shut.

Blitz heaved a sigh. At least in the wasteland the slaves had a better chance of living than here. She had intended to be right behind them but-

"AHHH!" She yelled as something slammed painfully into the back of her head. She fell, and looked up to see a smirking Scarlet.

"The Overmare wants a word with you."

This before a second blow landed, knocking her almost senseless. With her head spinning, she had no power to even resist as she was dragged to whatever fate awaited her for her crime against the Stable.
