LTF Facility 1a, [REDACTED], Equestria

1 ½ weeks after Incident 001

“Alright, pull yourself together Follower. You can do this!” exclaimed Follower to himself, as he finally got back onto his hooves. About ten minutes had passed since the escape of Pinkie Pie, and Follower was still shaken to his very core. Never before had he been faced with such a perilous and frightening experience, but he knew he had to steam on, or he would certainly end up like the other two D Class personnel.

After looking around the now empty chamber, Follower spotted a door with a button next to it. He strode over to the door, before taking a deep breath, and pressed the button. With a loud whoosh, the door opened, and led into a large concrete hallway with two rooms in it. Follower looked around for a few moments, before slowly walking into the hallway, and towards the first room. In the room, there was a gas mask, a saddle bag, and a LTF document, all strewn on different shelves. Follower took the saddle bag, and put it on, before moving on to the document.

On the top of the paper, it was marked with a Level 1 clearance, and had the LTF logo on it. There was a picture of Pinkie Pie on the cover, who was smiling evilly at the camera, and Follower couldn’t help but shudder at the sight of the picture He continued to read the document, which only reinforced the “Don’t break eye contact” rule, before putting it back down, grabbed the gas mask, and went into the hallway again. He spent no time in going to the next room, and found several batteries in it. He threw the batteries into the bag, before finally walking over to the other door on the end of the hallway, and opened it.

This hall had a grated floor, and went straight to the other side, with no chambers attached to it. Follower started trotting down the hall, before he heard a noise that sounded like laughter. He froze, and stared ahead, trying to figure out what made the noise when he saw something. A bloody cyan pegasus mare with a rainbow colored mane slowly walked through the left wall and stopped in the center of the hallway. Follower started sweating, and he took a step backwards in fear of what the thing would do to him. Then, to Follower’s relief, the thing continued walking through the right wall, leaving a pile of rainbow colored goop on the wall. Follower stood still for a few moments, before running ahead, and reached the other end of the tunnel.

He quickly opened the door, and found himself in a somewhat small office space, with several dead guards and scientists inside. Follower frowned, before carefully walking into the room. The room was dead silent, and Follower found himself heading for one of the dead bodies On it, there was a small yellow key card marked “Level Two”, and had the guard’s face on it. Follower picked it up, before stashing in his bag, and looked around. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the guard’s radio turning on. “LTF 2096 has breached containment as well. Wildfire has been notified, we need teams down here now. If it esc-” Began the guard on the other end of the radio, before he was abruptly cut off. Pinkie’s voice could be briefly heard in the background, before the guard started screaming, and the radio cut off again. Follower picked up the radio as well, before sighing deeply to himself, and walked over to the door on the other side of the office, and opened it, leaving the office to fall back into it’s eerie silence.
