"Keep looking. Those brats can't be that hard to find," one of the surrounding guards asked. Unbeknownst to him, Apple bloom and the other two fillies were walking right behind him. The three mares were in their guard suits that they "borrowed" from the original users. I know this because I killed one of the guards that dared to threaten one of my friends little sisters and ate him. Yeah,that's right..I ate a pony. Any who, back to the story.

They slowly made their way to the chamber where we were being kept in stasis. Sweetie belle started inching closer to the door. She thought no one noticed but the second guard saw her. "Hey no going in there, rookie. That's off limits to new ponies,okay. Top secret bull you know." Sweetie didn't show it because of her mask but she was angry at the guard who called her sister "Top secret bull". You could just feel the hate the poor thing gave off. But before the guard could investigate why she was angry, they got a report that some local rebel was at the front office posting a sign and they had to take care of it. "Ugh... I hate leaving it to the new ponies. Do you think you three could guard the entrance here for a while?" They responded to the guard with  "Yes sir" and took their positions by our door guarding the valuables inside.

Once the guards left, Applebloom spoke up. "Can we take these stupid masks off now? Ah can barely breathe in here."

"Yeah it's really itchy. Sweet Harmonia how can they stand wearing these things?" That response came from none other than Scootaloo, the only Pegasus in the trio.

Sweetie belle replied coldly "They do it by shutting up about it. Now come on girls lets get our families back."

They opened the door with a stolen id badge (courtesy of Sweetie) and walked on in to see which one held their sisters. They started to lose all hope when one of them said "I found one!" The other two ran towards the one who found my tank. "You think it might be one of them?" Scootaloo asked. Applebloom responded "Uh yeah, look at the name tag. 'Twilight' it's her alright! Come on, we came this far... let's wake her." They started the procedure and were one button away from releasing me when the colt from earlier busted in on them and yelled "FREEZE! HOOVES IN THE AIR! NOW!"

They did as they were told, deciding it was in their best interest to listen to the arrogant colt. But not before pressing the button that awakened me from cryo-stasis. My tube opened up slowly. Finally I fell out, tubes ripping bits of flesh off me.They grew back quickly and I woke up to a gun in my fucking face.

The poor stallion was shaking with fear. "S-stay w-w-where you are I-I'm warning y-you."

"You little shit kicker." I snapped."You think that will help you? Honestly? That's pathetic." I swiftly kicked the gun out of his hooves and proceeded to beat him to a bloody pulp. He fell, hitting my horn, dying soon after.

I then consumed the fucker's body, clothes and all. But something happened when I did that. I felt a pain in my head. It swelled and I flashed back to what had just happened. After I got over the shock of what I had just done,I turned around and faced the three mares that had looked up to me and my friends so long ago. "Girls, whats wrong?" I asked.They just stared at me with absolute terror in their faces. I'll be honest.... I was hurt by their expressions. I never meant to scare them. "Girls, I'm sorry if I scared you but that man was going to kill you. I just had to do something." Then I broke down. After being trapped in that wretched tube for so long....and now that I'm free, three of my friends were scared of me, or so I thought.

Applebloom walked over, patted my shoulder and said "It's okay Twi. We were just surprised,that's all. No need to be upset." We were about to wake the others when, all of a sudden, the second canister to my left opened up and revealed my once little assistant Spike, older and much more buff looking.

"Oh my head is killing me! Where am I?" Before I could answer him, our door was kicked open and we were surrounded by guards. I will tell you this much, it sucked to be the guards at that moment.

The first mistake they made was when they shot me. "TWILIGHT!" Spike yelled. After making sure we were okay,Spike turned around with a murderous gleam in his eyes."YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET THAT YOU WORMS!" Spike yelled. He transformed into some...thing I could barely recognize. Spikes started to protrude out of his body and a wicked grin cut across his face. "NOW THEN." the beast said while flicking out one of his claws. "WHO WANTS TO DIE FIRST?!" Quick as lightning, he tore through the remaining guards in the holding cell. After the carnage was over and he was once again the Spike I remembered, he relaxed  and fell back heavily on me. "Twilight.... what happened?" Spike asked.

"I'll tell you later. Right now, help me get the others out."  I said. It took several hours but eventually we freed everyone. Now the interesting part begins. Breaking in was easy...... getting out is a different story.
