MLP EG: A hero rises
Inside the building
Previous ChapterNext ChapterStarlight was still tied to the chair. How long has she been tied up? She looked around for a clock but none was to be found. Her throat was parched. She needed something to drink. With great effort she desperately called out.
"Help! I'm in here!". She hoped her friends were coming to find her. I hope they know where I'm at. She then saw the door swing open. Unfortunately for her, it wasn't any of her friends or anyone who looked friendly. It was just Chance.
"What do you want," Starlight asked, her voice dry from the lack of liquids. Chance looked at her and said.
"I have someone coming over here and I told that person you'll be an ideal test subject."
"T-test subject?" Starlight asked beginning to get worried. Desperately trying to figure a way to get out. Chance nodded. "Correct, we want to try out something new. I think you'll like it." He attempted a smile, but Starlight knew it was fake. A knock on the door was heard. Chance went up to it and opened it a little to see who it was.
"Ah you're here. He turned his head to look at Starlight. "She's tied up. I think we're ready."
"Good. Looks like I can get started." The voice on the other side said.
Who Is that? Starlight wondered. It definitely wasn't any of her friends.
As Twilight and her friends continue to search the building, whilst trying not to get caught, Sunset realized someone was missing.
"Hey where is Berry?" Twilight then realized it too.
"What? He isn't with you?" Then the other girls realized that Berry was no longer with them.
"Do you remember when you guys last saw him?" Sunset asked them. They all shook thier heads.
"Actually, I remember seeing him right before we started to search for Starlight," Fluttershy recalled. Twilight groaned. "He can be anywhere!"
"I hope he's alright. It'll be terrible if he got caught!" Fluttershy said with concern. Applejack started to wall the other direction where they had came from.
"Perhaps we should go back and look for him," she suggested. Sunset slightly bit her lip.
"Alright," she said. "Me, Applejack and Rarity will continue to look for Starlight. Rainbow, Twilight, Pinkie and Fluttershy, you look for Berry." They split up.
Berry wondered through the halls trying to figure out how he was going to get pass security. As he neared a corner, he slowly peeked around a corner and saw a guard patrol the hallway. Being careful not to be seen, he used his telekinesis to make a large painting fly off the wall and hit the guard, knocking him out. Wasting no time, he rushed over to the knocked out guard and frantically searched for things like an ID card or keys that he could use. Come on, there's gotta be something! He continued to search the pockets but to his dissapointment, there was nothing the guard had.
Sunset, Applejack, and Rarity spent the next twenty minutes looking for Starlight. But with the halls being guarded on every corner, it was made nearly impossible. Two heavily armed guards stood at the end of the hallway, equiped with lethal death rays. They both looked intimidating.
"How are we going to get past them?" Rarity asked in a whisper.
"We have powers don't we?" AJ asked with a smug. Rarity realized what she should do. She conjured a giant diamond crystal above thier heads. She then let it drop. One of the guards looked up when he thought he saw something falling towards them. It was too late, the crystal knocked them out cold.
"Nice one, Rarity!" AJ complimented. Together they ran past the guards and continued thier search.
Even though Berry didn't get the keycard, he did obtain the guard's weapon. A small handheld military lazer gun that. He didn't have any expirences with guns so he wasn't quite sure how to shoot one. He continued to walk down the hallways looking for Starlight.
"Looks like you're finally alone now."
Berry jumped and turned around. To his horror, Chance had caught him. He grinned like a shark. Berry pointed the gun at the boy. "Stand back!" He yelled. Chance laughed at him. "I would be careful if I were you. Don't want anyone getting hurt do we?"
"Where is Starlight?" Berry asked still pointing the gun at Chance. The boy waved nonchalantly. "She's trapped in the cells below. With no way out."
"Let her go, now." Berry said through gritted teeth. Chance only laughed cruelly. "I could do that....orrr you can help me with something. I've noticed those girls you were with had special powers. I also noticed the things they wear around their necks. If you'll be so kind to lure them, I would appreciate it."
Berry looked worried. "Now why would I do that?" Chance's expression turned cold as he glared at the young child. Berry could feel a shiver go up his spine. "Do you really trust those girls? As nice they may seem, they would probably throw you off a building when they no longer find you useful." Berry rapidly shook his head. "That's not true!" Chance sighed then a wicked idea came into his head. "You could refuse, I guess....that is if you don't want to lose your little sister like your parents!" Berry gasped. "No! You can't do that, she's only three!" he cried out.
"Then what is it?" Chance asked. "Think about it this way. Your sister who you've known your whole life. Or some random strangers who you know nothing about." Berry sighed sadly.
"Ok...fine I'll do it!"
Chance grinned. "Thank you, Berry. Its very simple. All I need you to do is lure them to the back of the canterlot theater. Then me and my crew will take it from there." Then he said in a much more threatning voice, "If you tell the girls about this... or if they suspect anything, your sister will die, ok?" Berry shakily nodded. "And don't think I won't know," Chance continued. A white throated needle tail, swooped down and landed on Chance's shoulder. "This little guy will tell me everything, so don't lie to me, ok?" He laughed at Berry. "I suggest you go now, also you have 48 hours. Oh and if you try to kill me, or anyone, your sister also dies. He left a now terrified Berry alone in the hallway. The turned around and walked the other direction now crying feeling guilty about what he now has to do.
