The Facility

The door seemed older and had a more... unsettling appearance. Off to the side was a sign pointed towards the entrance. It read Security block A level 3. Curious...

"Through these doors, lie some of the most dangerous things you'll ever see. They aren't even the worst..." The professor knocked on the door in a specific pattern. Knock knock.... knock.....knock knock knock. Must be some sort of code. The doors slid open and a dimly lit isle of cells were revealed. These cells were different from the containers they'd seen earlier. They were barred.

"Shall we?" Laceration gestured for the group to follow him. There were less of these cells than there were containers, but they were still plentiful. Many of the inmates just stared at the group of ponies passing by, while others smiled sadistically or growled. As the group walked on, the professor spoke.

"Would anyone like to look for somepony specifically? Or would you just like to browse?" Rainbow Dash stepped up.

"Hey, are there any of me?" The professor smiled.

"Follow." They continued down the hallway, making some turns here and there.

"Now remember. If I tell you to do something, you do it." Everyone acknowledged.

Around one last corner the group stopped at a rather large cell. It held several ponies. They were all just sitting on the ground. They seemed very bored. Like they were done with staying here. The professor walked up to the cell and tapped on one of the bars.

"Hey, Rainbow Scout! Get up!" He shouted. A pony resembling Rainbow Dash stood up from her seat. She wore a black cap and a red t-shirt. It appeared that she was also wearing headphones.

"What do you want?!" She shouted back. Rainbow Dash giggled.

"What is she wearing?! She looks ridiculous!" Rainbow Scout cocked her head towards Rainbow Dash.

"Hey! You know who ya dealin' with here?! Kindof a big deal... Ya know what? When I get outta here, Imma come after you, and Imma bonk ya! And Imma keep doin' it till your brains are all over the pavement!" Scout laughed maniacally. Rainbow backed away from the cell. The professor only smiled. These ponies haven't even seen the scary things and they were already freaking out!

"Yeah. That took quite a lot of intellect to think of that one. You really blew her out of the water Rainbow Scout." The professor greatly stressed his sarcasm.

"You know what professor?!" She reached a for something on her back and revealed a shotgun! She aimed it strait at the professor's face.

"LOOK OUT!" Fluttershy screamed.

'Click' Nothing..

"DAMN IT!!" The scout shouted.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You hones-haha! You honestly thought that would work?!" He walked away from the cell laughing. AppleJack followed closely behind.

"Why didn't her gun work?" She asked.

"Do you honestly believe that I would allow them to have any sort of weapon without a way to prevent them from using it? No ma'am! When they first appeared, they were very blood thirsty. It seemed that their primary purpose was to kill for no reason. So, as you can imagine, it was impossible to remove their firearms. Above us, in my security system, we have at least twelve unicorns focusing protection spells into a generator at all hours of the day. That generator projects these spells onto the cells. Nothing lethal can get in or out." He finished his explanation and continued down the hall.

"Onto more... disturbing things." He said. Again, the group was told to follow him down the hallways. The next stop was at a cell with a single filly inside... Sweetie Belle. She raised her head up slowly as the group approached.

"Cognizant lifeforms are present." She said.

"Why is she talking like that?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"This here is 'Sweetie Bot'. Back in her universe, she killed the real Sweetie Belle and took her place. No one caught on for a while." The crusaders shuddered. "She was able to imitate everything about the real Sweetie Belle. Everything but her eyes." Everyone looked closely at the cyborg. Her eyes were blue. Not green.

"I will be eluding the confinement of this establishment within a single senescence."

The professor became angry.

"THERE IS NO WAY THAT WILL HAPPEN!!" He screamed. Sweetie Bot didn't even flinch.

"Be careful professor. If you allow your anger to fester, then you'll soon lose control." Sweetie Bot tilted her head back downward. Apparently shutting down for a bit.

"Now, even though we have many blood thirsty monsters within our walls, it doesn't mean that is all we have. Up ahead is one of our kindest of inmates."

They approached another cell. This one looked much nicer inside and was actually done up to look like a high class living room. A colt of a peach coat and brown mane sat in the center of his room, sipping some tea.

"Good afternoon Doctor Jekyll."

"Ahh! Good afternoon Professor! How are you?"

"I'm fine. I'm giving a tour of The Facility to these ponies."

"Delightful! Mind if I join? I'd fancy a walk about now."

"Why not?" The professor pulled a small card out of his saddle bag and slid it though a computer device to the side of the cell. The bars slid upward and out of sight.

"Thank you. Uh, wasn't he one of the inmates as well?" He asked, pointing towards Tony.

"How did you know that?"

"I saw them bring you through here. You were unconscious and looked like you'd been through quite a lot." Tony simply nodded. The professor spoke again.

"You two should get along nicely. Neither of you were ponies before you got here." Tony's eyes lit up.

"How do you deal with this?! I mean, even walking feels strange."  Doctor Jekyll chuckled.

"Yes it is mighty strange having to adjust to this. But I've been here for around a year now. You just learn to coop." Tony didn't seem too reassured.

"Don't worry mate. I'm sure you won't be st-"

"PORTAL OPENING IN EXAMINATION ROOM 7 SECTOR B" A computer's voice boomed through the halls.

"ALL AVAILABLE PERSONNEL REPORT" The professor jumped at the announcement.

"This is bad! Uhh... Follow me!" He ran down the hall and around the corner. The rest of the group almost lost him, but was able to catch up before he was out of sight. The ponies sped through each corridor, running after an unknown goal. When the hallway ended, they were face to face with yet another door. This one was unmarked. Professor Laceration opened it and ran inside. There were several computer systems towards the front of the room. A sign reading 'No accidents in 5 days' hung off to the side. A large wall of glass was in front of them, and even further was another room. This one being much larger with several guards inside wielding some strange type of firearm. In the center of the room floated the same red mist that Twilight had seen earlier. Professor Laceration addressed some of the workers.

"Rainbow Blitz, Lyra. What's the condition of the portal?" The one called Rainbow Blitz answered first.

"It appeared about three minutes ago, and hasn't shown any signs of anything dangerous." Lyra spoke next.

"We've traced it's origin back to universe 15. So we don't know what to expect." Professor Laceration walked up to one of the computers and held onto a button.

"Switch your weapons to 'Stun'. We don't know who or what is coming and I don't want any pony of good intentions killed." He let his hoof off of the button. The guards within all flipped a switch to the side of their riffles, causing a blue light to acknowledge the change in it's power.

"What's in universe 15?" Scootaloo asked.

"A variety of ponies all of different alignments. We've gotten both good and evil from that universe. It doesn't help that it's an unstable universe, so we can't pinpoint what's coming through." Off to the side, Twilight spoke to Rainbow Dash.

"I think that colt over there is you." She said pointing towards Rainbow Blitz.

"I thought he looked pretty hot." Rainbow replied. Twilight simply grunted and rolled her eyes. AppleJack was wondering about something off to the side.

"Hey, professor. How come ya got ponies from other universes workin' for ya here?"

"I said that we have many violent inmates but not all are evil. Rainbow here was being good so we let him out. But since he can't go walking around Equestria, we let him work with us. The same with Lyra. She was originally a spy for the princess of her universe. But she can't do that in our world, so she works here now. I'm very impressed with her actually. She knows every fighting style ever invented. She also majors in technology and can hack into most any system."

The others were impressed. All but Tony, who only rolled his eyes. A loud 'BOOM' shook the entire room. The portal was fluctuating. Another worker shouted.

"Sir! It's about to open!"

"Do it." He commanded. His worker approached a large computer and began typing. Suddenly, within the portal's room, two mechanical arms lowered and pointed toward the portal. A large bolt of electricity erupted from both arms, hitting the portal and causing it to stop shaking. It was brought to a standstill.

"This is the easiest way to get these things here. They are already on their way to our universe, but this just makes it so the portal won't move." The professor explained. The portal opened, dropping more than one pony. They seemed to be unconscious when they landed.

"It appears to be three fillies, sir!" One of the workers in the portal room reported. He approached the three, his gun was put away.

"Hey, they look like us." Scootaloo noted. Sure enough, a copy of each of the three fillies in question lied in the center of the room. The worker was close enough to touch them.

"It doesn't seem like they-"

"SWEETIE BELLE!! NOW!!" The copy Scootaloo screamed. Sweetie Belle's response was wrapping the guard in her magic aura and slamming him to the ground. AppleBloom revealed a large kitchen knife she had been hiding and plunged it into the guard's chest.

"GAK!" He choked. AppleBloom quickly dragged the knife upward until the blade was in the colt's throat.

"(gurgle) KAACkck." Abstruse noises, probably being his last cries for help. While laughing, Scootaloo reached into the colts chest and ripped out his still beating heart. She flailed it around like some trophy of hers. The professor lunged for the P.A button and slammed his hoof down on top of it.

"TAKE THEM OUT!!" He ordered. The remaining workers all took aim at the bloodthirsty fillies and fired. Their riffles sent large bolts of electricity at the ponies' bodies.

"GAAAHAH!!" The three of them screamed. Sweetie Belle and AppleBloom dropped to the floor. Scootaloo held on a bit longer. The young pony was able to pull yet another blade from seemingly out of nowhere. Before she dropped to the ground she was able to chuck it at one of the workers. The blade was planted directly in the center of his chest. The poor colt dropped to the floor, dead. Scootaloo was able to let out a psychotic laugh before falling unconscious.

Everypony behind the glass was awestruck. Everyone left gawking at the horrible, graphic scene that had just played out before their eyes. Blood pooled out onto the floor. Horrible...

AppleJack and AppleBloom were clenching each other tightly. Rarity and Fluttershy had their eyes covered while Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo sat in a corner, sobbing. Rainbow Dash and Twilight simply stared at the gore in front of them. Neither of them saying anything. Pinkie stood next to them with her back turned to the gore. She didn't seem to be doing anything much, but her hair had gone straight so you could only guess how devastated she was. The sign off to the side changed itself.

'No accidents in 0 days'.
