The Everfree Forest's harsh terrain slowed the army down by 10% But that didn't keep them from moving forward. Twilight was in a special vehicle, one that was painted gold on the inside and had nuclear weapons on the outside. Of course, she wasn't awake. She would wake up earlier than most ponies because she breathed the gas first, but the CMC woke up before her. They were in a normal vehicle with ten other ponies with them. Of course, every pony was shoved in the cargo area of the vehicles except Twilight, and Pinkie for some odd reason. Scootaloo was the first to awaken, then Sweetiebelle, then Applebloom. All three of them realized that they were in a tight, sealed, moving object. "Where are we?" Whispered Applebloom.
"I dunno, but it kinda smells in here," replied Scootaloo in her quietest voice.
"We need to find a way out," Sweetiebelle whispered back.
"But how? We don't even know where we are!" Applebloom murmured.
"I think I see something," Scootaloo said.
"What is it?" Applebloom wondered.
"It looks like a lock... Wait a sec, I'm gonna try to open it," Scootaloo continued,"There is a small branch in here as well... If I just break it into two... Ah ha! Now just let me try to pick the lock..."
"Since when did you learn how to pick locks?" Sweetiebelle interrupted
"Buck! Be quiet Sweetiebelle! I'm trying to focus!" Yelled the little orange Pegasus.
"Gee,you're beginning to act like Rarity. She's always yelling at me and telling me to stop wrecking everything! I re-"
Scootaloo's eye twitched "QUIET!"
"Fine,"
"Thank you very much, Sweetiebelle, do you promise?" Scootaloo said, starting to calm.
Sweetiebelle nodded. Scootaloo twisted her head in some odd angles until she heard the lock snap loose.
"Got it!" She yelled.
"Quiet Scootaloo," Applebloom whispered, "now what do you see?"
"I see that we're in the Everfree Forest," Scootaloo observed the scenery some more, "I see a tons of big stallions wearing silver armor, but with odd looking headgear."
"Do they look dangerous?" Applebloom asked quietly.
"Of course! Some have axes, some are in carriages that move by themselves, and some have thick, green armor,"
Scootaloo leaned in further. The vehicle suddenly stopped, nudging Scootaloo out of the heavy metallic object. She was completely vulnerable. They all pointed lasers at her. "Cease fire!" A big blue stallion with a dark blue mane and tail. He was in green armor, but his helmet was off. Scootaloo saw his Greenish Yellowish eyes staring at her. "She's only a filly," He continued,"I'll take her to Canterlot myself, she won't get into any trouble, and if she does..." He clamped his hooves together.
"Let him take her! Give him a buggy!" Yelled a stallion in a golden cape. Scootaloo thought he looked like he was important to the other stallions. One stallion pulled out a small green vehicle suitable for two. The blue stallion picked up Scootaloo, who was trembling. He hopped on the small vehicle and twisted a knob. The small cart started rumbling. Scootaloo was shaking more than a chihuahua that drank thirteen cups of coffee. The cart started moving toward Canterlot faster that the other vehicles. Scootaloo's main was caught in the wind. The blue stallion started talking when the others were out of sight.
"I'm sorry about that, we aren't really welcoming to hostages," He continued to speak,"My name is Tier, by the way."
"Who are you guys? And why are you foal-napping the entire town?!"
"I don't know that, but I do know you're in danger. You and your two other friends," said Tier.
"How do you know that?" She asked.
"I am the only one who has access to the cameras in the cargo,"
"How do you know that I'm in danger?"
"My boss is not kind to escaping hostages, but he is extremely nice to that one pony, what was her name? Applesauce? Apple-tart?"
"Applejack?" Scootaloo guessed.
"I think that was it! Yeah, he and her are now engaged. It's odd. They just met but they look exactly alike. He has an orange mane and his coat is gold, but she is the complete opposite. They both have food related cutiemarks, though." Tier explained.
"Applebloom's gonna be pissed!" Said Scootaloo, just noticing the language she had just used.
"Now what's your name, little one?"
"My name is Scootaloo," She said.
"Scootaloo, huh? Do you ride a scooter?" Tier asked
"Yeah, most of the time."
"We do have automatic scooters at the next camp which is not that far away from here" He grabbed her attention with the information.
"Really?! Cool! When will we get there!?" She questioned
"We're already here," He stopped the vehicle at a mossy cave.
"What the?" Asked Scootaloo
"The other's are inside, come on!"
He carried her into the cavern. Three different looking stallions approached Tier and Scootaloo. One big burly green coated stallion with an orange mane took Scootaloo from Tier.
"I see you got us a new recruit!" Said the stallion
"Yup, but we need to save her two other friends before we get serious," Replied Tier
"So... Basic training? Or just let her go?"
"Basic training, Rev, basic training."
"Fine..."
"His name is Rev? The buck is that supposed to mean?" Said Scootaloo, not caring about language.
"We don't know, even Rev doesn't know" Answered another stallion with a brown mane and yellow coat.
"So even he doesn't know what his name means? You gotta be kidding me," Scootaloo said.
"Get her into the training suit! No time to be wasted," Tier said with no hesitation.
"Yes boss!" Said Rev.
Rev carried Scootaloo into what seemed like a dead end. There was a keypad sitting on the wall. Rev put Scootaloo down on a yellow square plate. He punched some numbers into the pad. The plate Scootaloo was on lowered until she disappeared. He walked down some stairs until he got into a room with a glass pod in the middle. Scootaloo was in the pod, waiting patiently. There was an entire panel of technology on the wall.
"Can you hear me?" He asked through a microphone.
"Yeah, loud and clear, duh." Scootaloo answered as she rolled her eyes.
"Okay, so first question here, what's your name?"
"Scootaloo,"
"What's your colors?"
"What?" Scootaloo asked.
"What are your favorite colors?"
"Colors? Uh... I dunno, all?"
"All? Okay then. Hold on... Just wait a min... Okay! Stay perfectly still!" Metal walls closed around the pod. The top did the same. Lasers pointed at Scootaloo's limbs. Metal claws slammed round metal pieces onto her. They were bolted together in a comfortable manner. Lasers then pointed at Scootaloo's torso. The same happened there, except canons were screwed onto her sides. The pod opened up completely, including the glass. "And here's your helmet!"
