A random blue light floated around in what seemed to be water, seemed to be cause the liquid itself looked a bit dirty. It seem to have what looked like to be a chain around it. All of a sudden a pony moved around in the water revealing that the pony was in a somehow still working bathtub filled with dirty water.

The pony thrashed around in the bathtub filled with dirty water punching and kicking even spilling some of it out of the tub. Which led to one of her back hooves kicking and pulling the drain plug causing the blue light with a chain around it to go down the drain.

The mare unicorn was coughing and gasping for air as the last of the dirty water went down the drain, before climbing over the bathtub and hitting the floor. Once the unicorn pony got up she was just barely able to see that one of the back hooves was wrapped in a chain that was tied to a pipe.

The unicorn grabbed the chain and yanked it a little "HELP ANYONE HELP ME!" the pony yelled before hearing a noise coming from the other side of the room which made her freeze "Is any pony there?, hey!" she called out. With no response she went back to yanking the chain a little harder this time "Am i dead? is this what the afterlife or limbo is like?" she asked herself before finally getting a response.

"You're not dead" was the response the pony got from a stallion's voice on the other side of the room.

"Who's there!" the pony asked surprised at the sudden response.

"No use in yelling I've already tried that" the voice said "Turn on the lights" the unicorn suggested "i would if i could just find them" the stallion explained.

"If i'm not dead what the fuck is going on where am i?" the mare asked "Don't know yet and not exactly sure" the stallion replied.

"Hold on a second i think i found something that could be the light switch" the stallion said before flipping a switch. The lights in the room turned on 2 at a time blinding the mare a little and revealing the room she was in was a dirty rusty abandoned looking bathroom.

Once her vision got adjusted to the lights she looked to the other side of the room and saw a white unicorn stallion with a light green mane. His fur was dirty and covered in scars and his mane was all messed up and covered in dust.

But the thing that surprised both of them was a dead dark blue unicorn stallion with a red mane that had his brain exposed from him shooting himself right in the head he was holding a gun which was on the stallion's side and a tape recorder which was on the mare's side.

The sight almost made the mare faint but luckily she was tougher than that, but almost ended up throwing up. One of her back hooves being chained to a pipe was bad enough but the fact that there was a dead body in there with them made her lose. She freaked out and started yanking on her chain as hard as she could

"AHHHH HELP US!" she yelled yanking on her chain before repeating help a few more times.

"No one can hear you" the stallion explained trying to calm down the mare. "What the fuck is this? Where are we?!" she lashed out.

"Calm down just calm down, are you alright?" the stallion asked. "I don't know yeah maybe, maybe not" the mare replied "What's your name?" the stallion asked

"My name is So Very Fucking Confused Right Now what's yours what's going on?!" the mare lashed out angrily.

"My name is Dr. Chemical Beaker i'm the alicorn of health i woke up here just like you?" Dr. Chemical explained showing the mare his wings proving he's a alicorn.

The mare sat down trying to either slip off the shackle or unhook the chain from the rusty pipe. "Wait if you're the Alicorn Of Health what do you have a degree in?" she asked.

"Everything you can think of i'm a surgeon, nurse, doctor, psychiatrist i studied everything in not only medicine but health in general something no pony has ever done, which is why Princess Celestia decided to make me the first stallion alicorn."

"But enough of that recognized him" Dr. Chemical asked the mare pointing a hoof at the bathroom body "No i don't" she responded "What's the last thing you remember?" the alicorn doctor asked her

"Nothing went to bed in my crappy apartment and i woke up in a even more crappy place a fucking dirty abandoned rusty shit hole bathroom what's your story" she concluded

"Sorry nothing much here" Dr. Chemical said pointing a front hoof at his head ''I was leaving work and heading home after that i don't remember anything.'' the alicorn explained

''Wait you're an Alicorn so why don't you use your magic to get us out of here'' the unicorn suggested.

''Whoever set up this place must've thought of that, try to use your magic'' Dr. Chemical said. When the unicorn tried to use her magic only sparks came out and when she held it for too long she got shocked.

''AH what the fuck?'' she exclaimed ''You try you're the Alicorn Of Health so your magic is a lot more powerful than mines.

"If you say so" Chemical said before lighting his horn only to be immediately shocked

"OW! see i figured out that the more powerful the magic the more quicker you get shocked" the Alicorn said before sitting down "So you're gonna tell me your name or what"

"Fine my name is Sea Swirl" the mare finally revealed "Well Swirl by the looks of these chains looks like who set this up didn't want us to get very far" Dr Chemical theorized looking at the lock on the chain. Sea Swirl realized something and came up with a theory of her own.

"CHECK FOR STITCHES!"she exclaimed before searching her bodies for scars or stitches "This is what these type of ponies do to you, they drug you and then put you in a bathtub so they can steal your organs and sell them on the black market." Swirl explained

"No pony stole your organs without the right equipment you'll be in a huge amount of pain or be dead by now." The Alicorn of Health explained

"Oh yeah forgot you're the Alicorn of Health" Swirl reminded herself. "Alright Sea Swirl first we have to figure out why were here. Whoever brought us here would've killed us by now but they didn't." Dr. Chemical pointed out,

"Or maybe they left us here to die." Swirl argued "They must want something from us but what exactly?" the doctor wondered

"Look the clock on the wall" Dr Chemical said pointing a hoof at the wall clock "Maybe that has a purpose, like we have a time limit for something." the doctor suggested. "Think i can reach the door" he said before walking over to the door it wasn't that far from him since the chain didn't even straighten up.

Meanwhile Sea Swirl scratched her mane and found a small envelope with her name on it and when she ripped it she found a small tape with the words play me on it.

"Um excuse me Swirl was is that?" the Alicorn of Health asked "It's a tape found in my mane" she responded.

When Dr. Chemical dug through his mane a lot of dust came out causing him to cough a lot before finding a envelope with his name on it and inside he found 3 things the first thing was a tape just like Swirl's with the words play me on it. The second thing was a bullet that he had no use for right now. And the final thing he found in was a key.

The Alicorn of Health used the key in the envelope to try to unlock the shackle on one of her back hooves to no avail, he then moved onto the lock keeping the chain wrapped around the rusty pipe "Come on, Come on" he strained trying to open the lock to once again no avail.

"Throw it to me maybe it'll work for my chain" Swirl suggested. Dr. Chemical lined up his shot before throwing it to his cellmate. Unfortunately just like him the key didn't work on any of Swirl's locks. "Any Luck?" the alicorn asked with the unicorn giving him a head shake.

Sea Swirl saw a tape player in one of the dead unicorn's hooves, when she reached for it the chain stopped her from going any further "Damm it can't reach'' the unicorn said straining.

"Hey use that pipe within your reach and you can use it to grab the tape player." Dr. Chemical pointed out.

Swirl grabbed the pipe that was just barely out of her reach but when going back to retrieving the tape player it still wasn't long enough, "Still not long enough, still can't reach" the unicorn told the alicorn.

Chemical looked around but couldn't find anything long on his side "Look around maybe there's something on your side that can help." the doctor suggested

The lilac unicorn looked around on her side for anything long and within her reach, she then decided to reach into the bathtub she woke up in and found the drain plug which luckily had a long string attached to it. She then tied the drain plug around the pipe and grabbed the string just to make sure it didn't fall off when trying to grab the tape recorder.

After a few failed attempts at getting the tape player the unicorn finally managed to wrap the drain plug around the tape player's string. She made sure to pull it carefully towards her, not wanting to risk losing it and having it stuck out of her reach.

Once successfully retrieving the tape player she inserted her tape in first "Lets see what this one tells us" Sea Swirl informed the alicorn before pressing play.

"Hello Sea Swirl i wanna play a game, right now you might be wondering where you are, but i'll tell you where you might be, you might be in the place you die in. So far in your life you've hid in the shadows spying on others watching their lives play out. So today Swirl you'll be watching yourself die or do something about it, Live Or Die Sea Swirl the choice is yours." the deep demonic voice said the tape ended

"I don't get it who's gonna kill me and how can i stop them?" Swirl stated her voice becoming more panicked.

"Hand me the tape player maybe it'll give us more information." Dr Chemical told Swirl "Throw me your tape i don't want to risk breaking the player." the unicorn explained

The alicorn tossed the unicorn his tape and when she played it the same deep demonic voice came on "Hello Dr. Chemical Beaker i wanna play a game every day you give other ponies information that they will die. So today you'll be the cause of death you have until 6 o clock to kill Sea Swirl the way to do that is hidden around this room and remember x marks the spot. But if you fail your wife, Chemistry Heart and colt Hazardous Chemical will die and..... you'll be left here to rot, Let The Game Begin, live or die make your choice." And with that the tape ended

"Wait hold on a second i hear something" Sea Swirl stated before playing back the tape and taking a closer listen during that pause in the recording.

On a closer listen it revealed a clue, a very faint whisper to follow your heart "I found a clue it says to follow your heart" the unicorn informed the alicorn. Dr Chemical looked around the dirty bathroom and spotted a heart painted on the toilet.

"There, might be something like a tool or a clue in the toilet" the doctor said basically asking Swirl to stick a hoof in a dirty toilet.

Sea Swirl hesitated a little before sticking a hoof into the toilet digging through it as fast as possible. But they're didn't seem to be anything in the toilet except for dirty water. "Nothing in there" the unicorn said before she started gagging. ''Wait a second the heart is on the tank so try that.'' the alicorn informed the mare.

The unicorn once wiping the dirty water off of one of her front hooves slowly took the toilet tank lid off before reaching into the tank. Luckily for her the water in the tank wasn't as dirty as the water in the toilet bowl.

Swirl found a black plastic bag, "Dang it should've looked in here first" she commented before ripping open the bag, 2 rusty hacksaws fell out. "Finally Tools!" she thought before starting to use the rusty blade on her chain.

"Hey you're gonna toss me the other one?" Dr. Chemical asked a bit annoyed.

Swirl tossed him the other rusty hacksaw and both started sawing at their chains or locks. After a while of sawing Sea Swirl's hacksaw broke "FUCK!" she yelled hitting her saw on the rusty pipe her chain was wrapped around before throwing it at a random mirror smashing a piece of it off.

After a little more sawing the Alicorn of Health eventually go tried and put his hacksaw down panting looking at the saw, he then realized something "He doesn't want us to cut through our chains, he wants us to cut through our hooves." Dr Chemical told Swirl. ''I think i may know who's behind this?''

"Wait you know him who is he?" the lilac unicorn asked "It's not some pony i know personally but a pony i know of" Dr. Chemical explained

"Well tell me who's behind this!?" Swirl responded "Last thing i heard is that The Crystal Empire still hasn't caught him and the only reason i know that is because i was a suspect let start at the beginning."

Lead Detective Twilight Sparkle and 2 detectives from Manehattan Rising Hope a pegasus stallion former Royal Guard and the other Violet Blossom a unicorn mare detective all went down some stairs with a cellar door which they were able to open with a buzzsaw and some magic.

And once they were all down there they found the dead body of Pony Joe a Pony Inc factory worker. Pony Inc was a company that supplies Canterlot and other parts of Equestria with manufactured goods like food and toys.

"This body isn't a fresh one as far as i can see, the victim is a unicorn stallion, seemed to have died of blood loss from cuts to his arteries. Looks like he started at the back of this razor wire filled room or maze since there's spaces and gaps and tunneled his way through surprised he made it this far." Twilight explained

"i also found this" the unicorn added picking up a tape player in a evidence bag with her magic.

When this game started Pony Joe woke up and when he got up he found himself surrounded by razor wire and a lot of it, everywhere he looked there was either a long string or short string of razor wire. Everywhere is kinda of a understatement cause Joe also manage to find gaps and spaces between the huge amount of razor wire.

Joe clung onto the fence surrounding the maze of razor wire which made him lose it "HELP, HELP ME, HELP SOMEPONY, HELLLLP!" the donut unicorn yelled as he fumbled around the starting area he was in. He eventually found a tape player and press play.

"Hello Pony Joe i wanna play a game, you're a perfectly healthy, sane middle class unicorn stallion with a factory job that pays good yet last month you ran a razor across one of your front hooves. Did you cut yourself because you actually wanted to die or did you do it to seek attention? Today you'll show me but here's the thing with your game if you want to die just stay right where you are but if you want to live you'll have to cut yourself again. Find the path out of the this Razor Wire Maze but hurry cause the door will lock in 2 hours at 3:00 and this room will be your tomb how many cuts are you willing to got through to survive Joe? Live or die the choice is yours." the deep demonic voice concluded.

Joe looked around trying to find a path the voice told him to find but couldn't find a single space or gap between the razor wire that was big enough for him to squeeze through.

Once again this made him lose it "AHHHHHHHHH!" the donut pony yelled and continued yelling as he charged in the Razor Wire Maze trying to tunnel his way to the hole at the front of the maze getting a bunch of cuts to every part of his body in the process.

"YOU SICK FUCK!" Joe yelled during his attempt to get to the front of the maze. He lost a lot of blood which eventually led him to getting tangled in the Razor Wire Maze in the position his body was found in and eventually died of blood loss as the clock hit 3:00 and the celler door locked.

His body was found 3 weeks after the game took place

"The cellar door was on a timer, it was unlocked until 3 o'clock, after that it slammed shut he was given 2 hours to escape" Twilight explained

Rising Hope took another photo of Pony Joe's body with his camera, under one of his front hooves and when looked at the picture he noticed something sticking out. When he shined his flashlight under one of Joe's front hooves he found a hacksaw lodged in there. "A Hacksaw" the pegasus stated before taking another more clearer photo of it.

"I think were gonna be here for a while Violet" Hope informed his partner

Author's Note

Royal Guard Rising Hope and Detective Violet Blossom are both OCs from another MLP Saw crossover called Pieces Of A Jigsaw Puzzle which has been discontinued and the writer hasn't been online since 2016

The only difference here is that their designs are my own take on them and that Rising Hope is the main one in the duo instead of Violet

And if your wondering in this Alternate Universe The Crystal Empire is equivalent of real life's Police Force
