"They're going to be back soon, I've gotta hurry." Rainbow dash thought to herself, still perched in the rafters. She looked around for an escape route. "Aha, the door." She tried to open it, but it was locked. She continued searching for an escape, but to no success. "No, no no no, this can't be happening. I can't be trapped." The sound of a door unlocking and opening echoed through the room as R.D. started frantically searching for an exit. In no time at all, the guard had entered the room and was turning on his flashlight. Rainbow flew up and looked around, lucky for her, the guard had to change the batteries, so she had a few extra seconds. Finally she found a hole in the ceiling that had rotted out. Wasting no time at all, she climbed into it and ran through the small space in the ceiling. She found another rotted spot but only small bits had fallen out. She looked through the holes and saw a door labeled "Information storage" "YES!" she thought to herself and waited there for the other two.

Fluttershy was still cowering beneath the table since the guard walked by, then she decided it was time to make a move. She crawled from under the table and slowly walked to the door. It was unlocked and the other end led her to the hallway the three were previously in before they got split up. She looked around and saw at the end of the hallway was the entrance to the info storage room. She ran to the door but didn't find Colt or R.D. she looked around in case they were hiding until she heard a familiar voice. "Psst, Fluttershy. Up here." She looked to the ceiling and saw Rainbow through the holes. "How did you get up there?" she asked. "Long story." Rainbow replied.

While they were having a conversation, Colt was trying to get to the info storage entrance. He took a quick look around and saw an entrance to a vent. He used the blade of his glass cutter to unscrew the bolts, and then proceeded through the vent. He crawled through, taking random turns to try to find where an exit was. Eventually, he felt something shift beneath him, and before he knew it, Colt was falling to the ground. He hit the floor with a thud and it was accompanied by a yelp. He brought himself up and to his surprise, he landed on Fluttershy's tail. "What happened?" He asked, scrambling to get up. He looked up and saw a hole in the vent. "Did I seriously break through that?" He asked rhetorically. "Yep." R.D. replied "What the?" He said, looking around for the source of the voice. "Well, since everypony is here, I guess i can show myself." Rainbow said, followed by a silence.

Suddenly, Rainbow bucked through the rotted out ceiling and landed on the ground. Colt and Fluttershy were coughing from the debris. "Oh, um... sorry." Rainbow said sheepishly. She turned the handle to the door and opened it slowly. She peeked her head inside and saw rows and rows of filing cabinets. "We've wasted enough time, let's get going. Colt said while entering the room. He stopped but the kept walking. "Stay back." He whispered. Rainbow and Fluttershy looked at him with a confused look. "Listen." They stood still and could clearly hear hoofsteps. "Sounds like at least eight, We're going to need to think of something if we're going to want to get past them."

"The entrance to the South wing is on the other side of the room. We can't stay grouped or we'll easily be spotted. Rainbow, you take the the left route. Fluttershy, you take the right route, and I will go topside. We regroup at the door. Got it?" Rainbow and Fluttershy nodded. "Good. Lets go." The trio parted ways, again.

Colt flew upwards onto one of the filing cabinet rows. He started leaping from row to row as silently as he could. Once he got about a third of the way to the door, he stepped on the next cabinet and it let out a loud SCREEEECH. The nearby guards heard this and rushed to the sound. "Just my luck." he said as he clung to the edge of the cabinet, desperately trying to get back up.

Just as the guards were turning the corner, there was a loud banging noise which drew them away before they spotted Colt. He was able to fly back up while the guards were distracted. "What was that?" he thought to himself. "It doesn't matter, there's no time.". He continued on his path on top of the rows of cabinets. Once he made it halfway to the door,  he made an abrupt stop. There was a large gap between the section of cabinets he was on and the next section. "No way I'll be able able to fly across that without being noticed." He whispered to himself. He then searched for another route but none were in site until he looked straight down. There was a walkway and accounting desks every 20 meters. "If you can't go over, go through." and with that, he lept from the cabinets and spread his wings to slow his descent.

Once on the ground, He started crawling to a desk. After a few minutes, he made it. Colt looked around while crawling under the desk and bumped into it. A lamp fell and plummeted towards the ground. He caught it just in time. "Phew, too close." he thought while placing the lamp back on the desk. A guard turned the corner and was patrolling the walkway. Colt sat motionless beneath the desk, hoping not to be discovered. The guard passed by, but Colt was hiding under the last desk on the walkway, which meant that the guard would turn around any second. He dove from beneath the desk and ran with the lightest steps he could take.

Colt reached the start of the next set of rows of filings cabinets, almost tripping on himself. he flew onto a row and landed with a metallic clank. He lied down for a breath, not even caring about the noise he made. "Ugh, I hope this turns out all right." He thought to himself. After a few moments of rest, Colt got up and continued on his way. Now fully focused on the objective, the Pegasus was heading straight for the door without pause. Once he reached the end of the room, he saw the door in the corner but it was to far to jump to and beneath him was two guards. He slid down the back of the cabinet he was on and walked around the corner. When the time was right, he ran for the door and hid behind the desk just as the the guards looked in his direction. "OW!" someone whispered, and when he looked down, he saw that he landed on the tail of R.D.

Nine minutes earlier, at the entrance of the room. "Rainbow, you take the left route. Fluttershy, you take the right route, and I will go topside.We regroup at the door. Got it?" Rainbow and Fluttershy nodded. "Good, lets go." The trio parted ways again. Rainbow dash started walking to the left. Surprisingly enough, she didn't run into any guards. Once she reached the one fourth point in the room, There was a large SCREEEEEECH. She peeked her head around the corner of a cabinet and saw Colt hanging from the side of a cabinet. She knew the guards would be on him in a matter of seconds. Without thinking, R.D. bucked the cabinet beside her and ran as fast as she could for the door.She didn't care how many guards saw her, all she focused on was running. Rainbow made it to the door and jumped behind the desk.

Nine minutes earlier, (You get the idea of what's going on) Fluttershy took the right route. She walked slowly, following the wall, completely unaware that she walked exactly when the guards turned, talk about luck. She walked until there was a loud SCREEEEECH and then an even louder BANG! Fluttershy started walking faster until she reached the end of the room. She turned the corner to find two guards asleep on the the job. She walked past them to the door and slowly started opening it.

Colt and Rainbow Dash popped up from behind the desk. "Ok, we're all here. We can go." Colt said as he pushed the door open. "If I remember correctly, the back door should should be just through here." He said as he stopped in front of a door. They walked inside and found a large metal door with a keypad beside it. "How the heck are we going to get through this, we don't know the the code, do we?" Rainbow asked. "I know a way." Colt replied while pulling out his glass cutters.

Colt used the glass cutters to unscrew the top of the keypad. He cut some wires and put the cover back on. He pressed enter and the door opened. The trio was greeted by the Applejack, Twilight, Pinkie, and Rarity. "It's about time, Rarity said as she entered. "Now the true mission can begin."
