Big Mac stirred awake his head filled with ringing as he remembered the last thing he saw was some block on his head. He got up only to realize he wasn't on the farm anymore. He was in some kind of empty warehouse. It looked more like a giant long airship hangar. All around him were what looked like piles of scrap metal and parts that either came from factory equipment or locomotives. Right behind him was a giant metal door.

He didn't think for long until he heard groaning. He turned and then saw Cheerilee on the floor also waking up. She looked up and saw the red Stallion. "Big Mac? What are you doing here? What am I doing here? Where are we for that matter?"

All Big Mac could do was shrug. He was both concerned and confused by all this. He then noticed a film projector pointing at a wall with a white sheet attached to it. Then all of a sudden the two ponies heard a sound coming from some intercom, but they couldn't find where its coming from. "Hello Macintosh and Hello Cheerilee. I want to play a game. You both came from different universes wanting to seek lives that were peaceful, carefree and quiet. But to do that, you both did terrible things. You murdered young innocent lives. Let me give you a visual aid." Said a voice as the film projector started plating.

Both could only watch in horror at the murders they committed being played on a film projector. Big Mac was confused on how the cutie mark crusaders were being killed by Cheerilee if he already killed them. Cheerilee was thinking the same thing but remembered what the voice said about universes. They were both asking how does this guy know? Soon the film stopped and the voice continued. "You think these young victims are monsters? No, you're the monsters then again what you might face soon would probably be worst."

Cheerilee looked around and asked hesitantly. "What do you mean?"

"Put your ear by the door" said the voice.

Both ponies went to the big metal door and put an ear on it. They can hear the sounds of skittering and growling creatures from behind it. "You two must run to escape or be eaten by the little monsters. Oh and watch out for any traps that might spring from the piles of scrap. Only one can escape who ever leaves first lives."

Just then the metal door slowly started to lifted up. The growling was becoming increasingly louder. "Live or die make your choice."

Big Mac stared at the bottom of the door only to see small appendages reach out. Some looked like spider legs, others looked like claws of different creatures. He turned to see Cheerilee already racing away. He then followed after her in hot pursuit. It didn't take long for him to catch up to her.

They soon passed a looming pile of garbage which then exploded like a volcano and out came what looked like large darts. They flew high in the air and soon rained down on them. One pricked Cheerilee in the flank while two pinned Big Mac in the head. Big Mac shook them off but he could feel a huge headache come on. Cheerilee looked behind at another scrap pile behind them and gasped in horror.

On the pile was a huge spider it was roughly the size of a regular pony. Right below Cheerilee could make out more shapes and it was an army of grotesque creatures. Amongst them were more giant spider, timber wolf cubs, and Roc hatchings. They looked viscous and hungry. The two ponies kept running every so often the monsters would either get closer or one of them would step into a trap. Suddenly to their relief and surprise they saw an open door that was slowly closing. Above the door was a sign sayin 'only one can exit.'

Big Mac poured what adrenaline he had left and raced to the door. His hoofs hitting the ground with a thump. Just when he was about to reach he then felt a set of hooves hit him in the back of the head. It was Cheerilee who managed to leap in the air and landed on his head. Big Mac could only watch as Cheerilee slides through the opening like a baseball player at the Homeplate. The moment Cheerilee got through the door slammed shut. Big Mac tried to charge the door but it wouldn't budge. He slowly turned to see the monsters now closing in. All he could do was try and fight but that became fruitless as he was now a big meal for the little young monsters.

Cheerilee panted as she dusted herself off of all the darts, dust and debris she caught. All she could do was listen to the sounds of Big Mac's screams as he was being tore limb from limb. Just then, in the small room she was in, she saw a speaker and a voice began. "Congratulation Cheerilee, you managed to make it through. Too bad I can't say the same for Mac. I think you deserve a reward. Please enter through the door to your right."

The mare noticed another door that had the picture of a trophy on it. She entered only to see a portal. "I rewarded your garden with a new exotic plant." Said the voice.

"Oh uh Thank you?" She said hesitantly.

"No problem...Don't forget to feed it and be ready for when the world knows what you did."

Cheerilee's fear went up again. "Excuse me?"

"That's the participation reward. Your sins being exposed. If I were you, I would hide this portal will lead you home."

"But is this portal gonna put me in my house or in-"

"No more questions you go now!"

Cheerilee then felt herself being sucked into the portal like a vacuum. The portal closed as Cheerilee then found herself in the middle of town. Thankfully it was night time so Cheerilee attempted to flee town only to see guards patrolling the perimeter. She then went home only to not see anything new in her garden, but as she got to her door she then felt something grab her leg. "What the-"

She then felt herself being dragged to her garden by a green vine as she saw something big rise from behind her flowers.
