The Dark Secret of the Compound

Early the next morning Ace wakes up to his partner Alexia snuggled close to him. “She so beautiful when she sleeps.” Ace thinks to himself as he gets out of bed hopeing not to to wake Alexia up. “Its still early no pony will be awake. That gives me time to fly around and see if I can find some place to set up shop.” Ace quietly leaves his house and in the darkness of the compound begins to fly using only the night vision goggles that where giving to him when he joined the Clouds Dale Army, as a light.

As Ace is flying he notices several shafts and trams that must lead to the different compound cites, but the one that catches Ace's attention is the shaft located high in the roof of the compound labeled Compound C.D. “C.D is that...Clouds Dale?” Ace begins to fly to the strange shaft. When he reaches the entrance a massive automatic door slams shut blocking him from going in.

“Identification Card” says a voice from a crackling speaker.

“A what? I just wanted to see Compound C.D.”says ace a little uneasy.

“You must have an identification card with you at all times.”says the voice. “I cant let you pass until I see your card sir”

“I don't have a fucking card I just got unfroze.” said Ace in an annoyed tone.

“*sigh*You can get an identification card at the town hall witch is open from 10:00 A.M- 5:00P.M. Now return to your home sir or I will be forced to call the police.” the voice says in a stern way.

“Fine but can you at least tell me what time it is?”

“Its 5:47 the compound lights will be turning on in 23 minuets. Now return to your home and don't come back here without a ID.”

Ace flys out of sight of the gate guard and heads toward the market in his town looking for an empty place to set up his “Fix It” shop. As he is landing he hears a crashing sound behind him and with his night vision sees a hooded figure with a rainbow tail running toward him at an incredible speed. The pony is running so fast she slams into Ace knocking him over.

“Fuck! Who the hell is up at this hour?” the strange pony says to herself

“Are you okay?” Ace says to the hooded figure. “And another thing can you get off me you're kinda heavy”

The pony stands and helps Ace to his hoofs “Sorry I was in a hurry to get home before the lights came back on.” Just as she says this there is a flicker and the lights of the Compound spring to life. “Fuck! I gotta hide I can't let people see me.

“I live not too far far from here you can hide at my place.” Ace says in a confuted way “But my friend Alexia lives with me so she will see you.”

“Trust me you don't want to hide me there is a lot of blood on my hoofs I've caused so much pain for so many ponies.” she says in a serious manner.

“So I was in the Clouds Dale Army for five years before the incident that caused every pony to live in this underground compound happened. I killed several people heck I even murdered a mugger to save this lovely mare that I live with.” Ace's gaze grows distant as he says this like he is trying not to remember something horrible.

“Okay I'll come with you back to your house as long as you don't tell anyone I'm there.”

“Your safe, trust me.” Ace winks at the strange hooded pony “By the way names Ace.”

Removing her hood the pony says “I'm Rainbow Dash leader of the Compound Secret police” Dash lies

“Secret police? I don't believe you, but it seems we have run out of time to mingle.” Ace looks around noticing the lights of the homes around slowly turning on. “Follow me to my home.” Ace says quickly and begins to walk toward a small cottage at the end market rode.

Alexia wakes up to find Ace missing and runs down the hall to the front door. “Fuck Ace where the hell did you go.” she says to herself just as the front door opens and Ace and a strange cyan blue mare walks in.

“Oh Alex your awake I would like you to meet...”

Slamming her hoof over Ace's mouth Dash says “Names Negadash.”

“Owe Dash that that fucking hurt!” Ace says bitterly

“I know who you are Rainbow Dash. The color of your mane screams your name to anyone who looks at you.” Alexia says shaking her head in disbelief. “Your supposed to be dead. I watched as the black alicorn stabbed you with that horrible black sword three days before my family and I where taken to the Compound's entrance.”

“So you where the young filly who saw me die the first time...or at least almost die.” Dash looks in Alexia's eyes with a sadness that only Alexia could understand. “That horrible alicorn's name is Orin Stronghoof leader of Stronghoof Labs. I think it's time you two know the truth about Stronghoof Labs.” Dash shuts the door and leads the two ponies to a small closet that held boxes of books and tools that belonged to the pair. She begins to move each box and soon reveals a small hatch with leads to the cellar of the home. “Follow me down here will you.” she begin to walk into the celler

“After you Alex .” Ace says acting like a proper gentlemen.

“You chicken your sacred of the cellar aren’t you.” Alexia says I a mocking way

“Hell no I was being polite.” Ace snaps back

“Whatever” Alexia roles her eyes and enters the cellar with Ace following her.

Shutting the hatch with a soft click Ace walks over to Dash and says “So tell us what so important that you had to drag up into the cellar.”

“How about I show you instead.” Dash walks over to a wall and wipers some strange saying and a door opens raveling a long passage way to who knows where,

Still strapped to the table Coltbain examines the small HQ of the Resistance with the bouncing pink pony named Pinkie Pie, or that the name he was told, watching over him like a hawk. “Um can you quit staring its kinda creepy”

“No I can't Dashie told me to watch you and make sure you done move from that table.” Pinkie says in a joking matter knowing he could never get out of his restraints. Besides, your fun to stare at.”

“Well its not like I know how to get out of this fucking place so I think you can let down. Fuck I've lost feeling in my hooves.”

“Hahahaha your are silly Dashie was right we can trust you.” Pinkie walks over to Colt and removes his hoof straps and slowly lets him down from the table. “You have been strapped to that table for several hours you must be hungry. I know I'll make you cupcakes oh and we could even throw a welcome to the Resistance party.” Pinkie begins to bounce at the though of a party and disappears into the kitchen.

“Finialy some alone time to think about how to get out of the hell hole” as Colt begins to wander the room he hears a small grinding sound as a stone wall moves aside. Rainbow Dash walks in with Ace and some outer pony that Colt doesn't know following close behind her and locks gazes with Coltbain.
