    Kes stopped dead in his tracks when the lights went down, letting his eyes adjust to the new lack of light. Not that it would particularly help.

    Knowing the others as he did Kes did not doubt that they would be turning Pipbuck lights on and possibly casting light spells to illuminate the area.

    The sound of the door locking behind him though had Kes on full alert now. This wasn't right...not right at all. It was like the group was being Herded forward.

    Sky nearly freaked when the door shut closed behind and ahead of the group, even the lights went out just to add to the situation. Sky immediately turned on her pipbuck light, even if she forgets she wears it most of the time. Now since they are trapped, Sky could feel something bad will happen. "Closed doors and no lights, I wonder what's going to happen now." Sky said to herself.

    Bakewell kept an eye on Cross as he stopped to examine the various grotesque pieces of ponies. Oh, how she would have loved to strangle the unicorn just to get his fancy little filtration mask. The smell of dead was horrible. She did take note of the bloody pipbucks- Zestari would probably love a pipbuck, though she might not be too keen on grabbing one from the remains. Bakewell made a mental note to try and grab one for her zebra friend later. They could probably be cleaned, and there was nothing wrong with taking pipbucks. Every pony with a pipbuck had technically got it off of a dead equestrian, after all, though few ever thought about the fact.

    When the doors closed on them Bakewell instantly froze. Why had the lights gone out? Had a zombie gotten into the make-lights-happen gizmo? No, that wouldn’t have caused the doors to shut, would it?

    The gentle click and illumination of a pipbuck in front of her reminded the mare of her own pipbuck light. She quickly turned hers on as well and tried to get a decent look at the hallway. It was… clean.

    “A trap?” She asked in a hushed tone that slowly turned into a growl as the mare worked on voicing what most of the ponies were probably thinking at this point. “It was a trap. What kind of sick pony would gut a stable like that as part of some stupid trap for ponies who care enough to respond to a distress call?”

    Whoever was responsible for this had just gotten themselves bumped up to the top of Bakewell’s hate list. Consul Cross Roads is dethroned. All hail Green Coat; the new king of scum.

    Thankfully the trip through the gore splattered stable's hall was free of face eating ghouls and Scrap followed the group into the suspiciously clean hallway.

    Everything was going rather well until they went in there and the lights shut off and the door closed behind them, leaving them sealed. Scrap pushed the light button on his pipbuck. He should have known something like this was going to happen, now they were probably gonna get gassed to death or something equally bad.

    The second the lights went out, a small ray of light quickly began to shine from Mona's horn as she cast a simple light spell. She didn't have a fancy Pipbuck, so this was the best she could do in terms of light (Though she was quickly considering cutting one off of the next corpse, they seemed like useful little gadgets...).

    As she glanced about at the ponies and gryphon who were setting up their own light sources, her first thought was wondering why anyone would want to try and trap several wastelanders who weren't guaranteed to have anything useful on them?

    Nevertheless, Mona immediatly set to looking for a way out, as she used the light from her horn to inspect the room...maybe there was a hatch or something that the smaller ponies could be shoved through to look for controls...

    Violet frowned at the sudden closure of the doors, eye’s glowing brightly as she was already looking for ways to escape. It took her a few moments to actually realize that the lights went out too, and even then only because she noticed the increased pupil dilation of the others and them activating on their pipbucks what she assumed was the device’s light function.

    Trap?’ was the thought that ran through her mind. ‘Set-up?

    Looking right through the other ponies in the group, her keen eyes spotted a ventilation near the floor, small enough that she should just barely be able to fit inside. “Ooh!” she exclaimed, darting through the others and coming to a stop near the grate. Almost immediately she started unscrewing things with her magic so she could get inside.

    Lightning followed the group quietly as they all ventured deeper into the stable. When they arrived down another hallway, this was was rather clean considering the rest of the stable was full of blood and guts. Once they walked into the room, the door slammed shut and the lights flickered out. With one swift motion, he flipped on the light on his Pipbuck, peering around at the others, "Everypony alright?" This was not turning out good. It was obvious now that they were fooled by a false distress call. The next question was...by who? And why. Only time would tell...

    Kes watched as the others began ton search for a way out of the locked hallway. He was none to good at picking locks and the like, not was he the best at operating consoles.

    In all honestly Violet had the best idea out of all of them, climbing through the vents would be easy for a pony her size. Kes though, he was mostly useless in this scenario. Still not a reason he couldn't try and find a way out though.

    Carefully Kes began scanning the walls, with both eyes and talons, looking for anything that could help get the group out of their current situation.

    Lightning's inquiry earned a grunt from the big black gryphon, but that was all.

    There was a moment of relief when the evidence of wanton destruction seemed to end and instead transformed into a clean and tidy room. Zestari was already pretty nervous from the violent display they'd picked their way through previously and even the fleeting thought of getting a pipbuck on the way out did little to temper it. Then the door behind them slammed shut, and she jumped, gasping. That was followed by the lights going out and she let out a short shriek.

    Standing there in the dark, her cheeks warmed in embarrassment at the outburst, and she was silently pleased that nopony could see. She bumped into the pony in front of her and quietly apologised as pipbuck lights were turned on. Her neck prickled when Bakewell asked about a trap. Oh no, why would somepony do this?

    Still trying to determine who and why someone would trap them with such an elaborate ruse, she shuffled towards the centre of the room. Unlike most of the party, she had no fancy horn to illuminate the room, nor a pipbuck, so she hovered near the centre of the room as the rest began scrutinising the walls looking for an exit.

    Cross blinked as the door slammed shut. He wasn't too worried, why should he be? He was a teleporting unicorn for buck's sake! Still he didn't prefer darkness, so he brought up his light spell and starting shining around, it was a simple spell all unicorns knew. Suspiciously suspicious were the clean walls that had not but finely polished steel to gaze upon....

    Remembering the other's Cross shone his light over to where they could all see, the metallic tinge of his mask crisping his voice.

    "We're good here as well, can't be too bad..... worse comes to worse I can get us out of here...."

    Starry switched on her pipbuck light immediately. The entire scenario was startling for her, her first reaction was to check her feet, and those of the griffon in front of her to make sure they didn't step on some sort of pressure plate.

    'Of course it's not a pressure plate,' Starry thought to herself,'Stables aren't equipped with pressure plate traps!'

    Soon, determining the cause became secondary to finding a way to escape, which seemed to be the logical priority. Starry dashed toward the sealed door, which led to the hallway they had come from. She quickly pulled out several of the mines she had kept in her saddlebags, and attached them to the door. She suspected the combined firepower to may be insufficient to tear through the door, but it was worth the risk, in her mind.

    "Somepony, find me a terminal to hack! Otherwise, place any explosives you have by the door here, we need all the firepower we can get to puncture this door!"

    Besides Violet and her vent, that she had almost removed the cover from, the party didn’t have much luck in finding anyway out of the hallway. It only took Violet a few more moments to unscrew the last screw on the vent, before letting out a little cheer as she started to crawl in. However, that cheer soon turned into a gasp as the filly saw something, before green gas flowed around her and out the vent she was halfway through, rendering the filly unconscious almost immediately. Multiple smaller vents opened up all over the hallway, releasing more green gas that was very rapidly filling up the hallway. Within seconds the party couldn’t even see their own hooves in front of their faces the gas was so thick. It didn’t take them long afterwards to pass out as the gas filled their lungs, even Cross was being effected despite his respirator. Most likely via skin contact. It was having a much slower effect though, and he managed to stay conscious even longer then Kes, but the toxic gas quickly muddled his mind and he couldn’t focus enough to teleport before eventually succumbing with the others.

    o-0-o-0-o

    The party awoke in a seemingly endless digitized white void, with little lines all over the place. And the entire thing was totally not a ripoff of Assassin’s Creed, no sir. Anyway, each member of the party was randomly spaced around, and they found that they could move their bodies, but not in a way that actually move them around at all. All that flaying accomplished was making them look silly, they were otherwise suspended in place.

    Kestrel felt himself come to and immediately regretted opening his eyes. The endless white void around him nearly blinded him. Dammit, what was it with ponies and their obsession with light.

    Eventually his eyes adjusted and he attempted to move around, alas, it accomplished nothing. So he stopped that action rather quickly, instead focusing on looking around and attempting to identify just where the fuck he was.

    The others were here with him and the last thing he remembered was that green gas flooding the hallway, then blackness. Now everything looked all digital and simulated.

    “Loading Simulation 1: Pony Row. Please standby.”

    Kestrel had to suppress the urge to quirk a brow at the mysterious voice. Pony Row? What in the name of the Void was Pony Row?

    Lightning barely had a chance to react when the green gas came out. "Oh, come on..." Despite backing up to the furthest wall away from the gas, it soon surrounded him and filled into his lungs. Slowly, blackness began to fill his vision and soon, he passed out.

    After what felt like only a millisecond, he began to open his eyes. Around him was this strange white...void. It was just...white. Nothing else around him except his pony, griffon, and zebra companions. He tried to move his body but already, he realized that his movements weren't getting him anywhere. All it did was make him flail into place. Unfolding his wings and flapping them, Lightning decided to see if flying was possible in this place. Nope, nothing.

    Sighing and relaxing his body, the pegasus would turn to look at the others, yelling at them, "Hey! Is everypony alright?" When the voice announced loading of the simulation, Lightning couldn't help but frown. A simple rescue mission was just about to turn into something much bigger.

    If there had, somehow, been any doubt at all of the nature the shiny metal hallway held it was instantly dispelled as gas started pouring in.

    Bakewell managed to be one of the last ponies to fall, but falling was inevitable. The gas’ thickness was almost a small mercy as it quickly became so all-encompassing that she couldn’t make out her own legs, much less the choking and falling forms of the ponies around her. The mare swayed drunkenly towards her where unfocused mind hoped one of the doors would stand, but eventually the green gas got the better of her and she fell to the floor atop somepony else as everything went black.

    -----

    ‘White.’ Bakewell concluded to herself. It was certainly a valid observation; little in this strange new location wasn’t white. At least everyone seemed to make it here. Was this heaven? It was slightly lackluster if so.

    And then the computerized voice spoke, and Bakewell’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

    “Simulation?” She gasped. Oh no, oh no no no. She had to get away from the others before her memories started fading! She had to get away and not see or speak to anypony at all ever because this thing would mess up her head and make her hurt her friends just like it had the last time and she didn’t want that.

    The mare tried to escape, but soon realized that she was making no progress at all despite her flailing. She couldn’t move!

    With a light groan, Mona slowly opened her eyes, only to see nothing more then an infinite white room, with her companions there too. What was this? Were they dead? If that was the case, this was not what she was expecting...

    Hearing the Pegasus speak, Mona glanced over, and answered with a very quick "I am fine." before turning back straight in front of her, as she attempted, and failed, to step forwards.
    It was at this point, that she heard the computerized voice.

    "Sounds robotic. At least that means we probably aren't dead."

    She mumbled, wondering what it meant by 'Game Warden' and 'Pony Row'.

    Zestari mostly nervously stood near the centre of the room, hardly moving except to create distance from the door Starry was currently rigging with explosives. Everypony else seemed to have everything well in hoof, and she didn't want to get in the way.

    She couldn't see the gas, as she had no light source but could sense its bitter taste on her tongue. With an ecstasy of fumbling she rummaged in her saddlebags for something that would nullify the chemical. About halfway through the bag, her legs gave way, and she had trouble holding her head up. She had to try something, they'd all be counting... on... her...

    -o-o-o-o-


    Her first reaction was to panic, but then... a world of white with spaced apart lines hardly seemed threatening and she instead frowned in confusion. She'd imagined that meeting her ancestors would be a more... well, she wasn't sure, but certainly not like this. She blinked. And she'd always imagined it wouldn't feature the presence of her campfire friends.

    As if to further remove the doubt that she wasn't actually dead, the omnipresent, cold synthetic voice announcing it was loading a simulation removed any further thoughts. She tried kicking forwards, but found that wherever she was seemed to hold her in place. "I... think I'm okay?" She said responding to Lightning and nodded at Mona.

    Scrap was one of if not the first of the group to succumb to the gas that filled the room due to his small stature. The gas started to fill his lungs and Scrap felt his legs give way and he collapsed to the floor as blackness overtook his vision and everything faded out...

    ---

    Coming too eventually the first thing Scrap noted was that wherever the tartarus they were was really really white. A cautious glance around revealed that he wasnt alone as his other companions were suspended in the white void just as he must be. The metallic voice announcing that it was starting a simulation dispelled any thoughts of them being dead and Scrap tried his hoof at seeing if he could move before finding himself locked in place.

    "I'm okay too. Whatever that gas was it didn't seem to do anything but knock us out." He responded to Lightning before adding a few grumbles quietly to himself.

    The gas coming out of the vents, Sky knew it was a trap. She couldn't even last a couple seconds, until the gas knocked her out. She only managed to see kes and Cross still awake, but she knew they would fall too.

    [][][][][][][][][]

    When sky awoke, she felt different alive but different. Only thing she saw was pure white, a void of white with lines that made a grid like floor. "I must be dead," Sky tried to move but it seemed pointless as she couldn't move, She heard a familiar voice. Flash's to be exact, "Yeah, im fine." She lookd to see the rest of her group, all still. "Ok we all aren't dead." She said to herself. And the weird Robotic voice talking about something Pony Row? And the Game Warden? This place must be death or some fucked up trap.

    Starry awoke, finding herself suspended in a white void. "Wh-what is this?!" she exclaimed, flailing her legs about in panic. She didn't seem to realize how futile the efforts were, as she began to gallop in place.

    Starry didn't believe in an afterlife, and the last several times she had thought she had died, she had actually still been alive. That must make Starry incredibly lucky, or unlucky, depending on how one looked at it.

    When the computerized voice finally spoke, it had revealed to Starry the nature of her predicament. She was trapped in a computer simulation, again. Starry was pretty sure it was a different simulation, given the location they were knocked out and the fact that she still had her memories, so she genuinely had no idea what to expect next. 'Pony Row' didn't quite answer any questions.

    "Excuse me? Mr. Game Warden?" Starry shouted into the void, "Where are we? What's going on?"

    Violet found herself floating in the white void with the others, although unlike the other she found the whole thing more fascinating and interesting then worrying. “Oooh, another simulation? Cool! And it didn’t even take away your guys memories this time! That wasn’t as cool.” she said with a frown and a nod, before her grin went right back into place. “Wonder what it’s going to be this time? And....ooooh....” She suddenly found herself becoming very interested in her hoof, looking at it with glowing eyes and turning it over. ‘That’s weird, this simulation doesn’t seemed to be simulating internal organs like the last one...Maybe they’re just not loaded yet? I’ll have to check later once the thing’s all loaded up.'

    As soon as the gas started pouring in, Cross chuckled. He was sure he would've been safe behind the filtration system designed into his mask. But unfortunately he felt the effects of the gas hit him. Cursing his luck, he turned to head towards the door and as soon as his horn flared, he slumped over unconscious, unable to get his spell in time.

    --------------

    Cross shook himself awake as soon as he realized he was floating and a voice was pouring over him. 'Uhh damn, ...not again...well at least this damn void is comfortable...', he sighed as the recording began its process of starting its little 'game', whatever this was, at least hopefully it wouldn't be dull... he needed to get back to Winter soon

    The intensity of the light of the void suddenly began to grow, intensifying greatly until the party could see nothing but white. A moment later, a whoosh noise could be heard before a room materialized around the group. Again, nothing like Assassin’s Creed. Totally.

    The ten ponies, and griffin and zebra, found their hooves, or talons in Kestrel’s case, once again on solid ground as the room finished materializing. They found themselves in a large, marbled lined room purple tinted-lights and multiple marble pillars. The room even had a rather grand staircase, leading up to a silver-metallic statue of a alicorn floating in the air, horizontally with her forlegs pointing down at an 45 degree angle, with a pistol floating in front of each of her forehooves. A devil's tail was coming out of her back instead of a regular pony tail and was wrapped around her legs, along with a contrasting golden halo above her head. The more perceptive among the group (or those who walked up to look at the statue) may notice from this distance a sign on the bottom of the statue that read 'The Saint of all Saints'.

    Although despite the rather opulent design of the room, it screamed less 'Ballroom' and more 'Pimp house'. Why, you may ask? Perhaps it was the rather large bar, with several racks of various alcoholic beverages lining the wall behind it. Perhaps it was four couches in the center of the room facing a pole with a mare dancing provocatively around it, who once again proved that putting a small amount of clothing on something that normally didn't wear clothes made it hotter somehow. Perhaps it was the fact that there were several other 'pole dancers' on the upper levels. Or the fact that, based on a sign on the wall, the place was called 'Purgatory'. Or, perhaps most of all, it was the fact that the other occupants of the room, who were all wearing various purple outfits, seemed to less than...couth, with their bottles and cans of beer and how they seemed to enjoy watching the pole dancers. Although with how fleur-de-lises seemed to be sprinkled all over the place, on the walls and on the outfits of the purple-clothed ponies, it could of fooled you.

    It was at this point the party would notice that they were no longer wearing the weapons and armor they arrived in the stable with. Instead they were each wearing a new, purple-themed outfit along with a new set of weapons.

    Violet Star was wearing a cute purple dress similar to the one she had in at Starry’s party, sans the cleaver and wig. Instead she had a long katana snug inside a sheath that seemed to just be sticking to her back. Somehow. And under the sheath, a prominent fleur-de-lis could be seen, in a darker shade of purple then the rest of the dress.

    Kestrel was wearing a long, leather, purple long coat that obscured most of his body, as well as a purple cowpony hat and a pair of dark shades that hid his piercing eyes. Like Violet a fleur-de-lis was also on his back, along with a large sniper rifle, which, like Violet’s katana, was just sticking to his back with no visible straps or holsters. On top of the rifle, the griffin could feel a .44 revolver inside his coat, also without a holster.

    Cross Road’s outfit was much the same as his real one, although his hood was now purple and the armor he was wore was replaced with a rather nice purple vest. He even had his old cloak back, although it was purple now, like the hood. Along with all of that, the symbol on his Twlight Society clasp was also replaced with fleur-de-lis along with his other outfit changes. At this point he also noticed that inexplicably floating in his telekinetic grip was a red cane with a metal gold end, a band of gold near to top, and a golden figure of a mare for a handle on the top, one in a...rather provocative pose. Cross would also quickly notice that there appeared to be a trigger of some kind in the mare’s back.

    Bakewell’s outfit seemed rather simple compared to the others. A unique and simple purple suit of some kind. She may recall seeing in books professional chefs back before the war who wore similar outfits, although they were usually black. Another fleur-de-lis marked the front of the suit, and on Bakewell’s back was a lever action shotgun, small enough to be handled in her mouth and within easy reach. She also found a pair of spiked iron shoes clamped on her hind legs.

    Sky’s outfit, in contrast to the other’s, was a purple hoodie and a bandana wrapped around her mane. The bandana had a large fleur-de-lis on it, in keeping with the theme everything seemed to have. Sticking to her shoulder was a small submachine gun of some kind, one within easy mouth reach. On top of that, mounted on her back was a battle saddle with a light machine gun of some kind.

    Mona Tones found herself wearing a very prim and proper purple business suit, with a small fleur-de-lis shaped pin on the lapel of the suit. Obviously a proper outfit for the mare. She also found inside the folds of her coat three weapons, a butterfly knife, a fragmentation grenade, and a interesting looking pistol with a built-in laser sight.

    Scrap Part’s outfit was rather nice, a comfy and slick purple sweater vest with a fleur-de-lis pin like Mona, and an equally slick purple bowler hat sitting on his head. If that wasn’t enough, sticking to his back where two powerful looking .45 Auto Submachine Guns.

    Lightning Flash’s outfit was also a bit bizarre compared to the others. He was wearing a full-body purple jumpsuit that covered everything but his wings and head. What did cover his head was a large and smooth motorcycle helmet, one with a completely opaque visor that nopony could see through. Well, besides Lightning of course. It’d be silly for him not to see through it. A fleur-de-lis was on the part of his suit covering his cutie mark, and two pop-up battle saddles, each with a built in assault rifle, were on his back, one under each of his wings. They was surprisingly compact, and weren’t at all uncomfortable. Lightning could probably fly with the thing easily, even when it was popped out. They even came equipped with underbarrel grenade launchers. The controls for them seemed to be built into the helmet, right in front of his mouth. How they connected was a mystery to everypony.

    Starry Night’s was perhaps the strangest of all, however appropriate actually it was. She was wearing a white lab coat with a purple stripe on the back, complete with a name tag that said ‘Dr. Starry’ with a little purple fleur-de-lis on the end. On top of Starry’s head was a pair of thick goggles with very dark purple lenses. Starry also seemed to be carrying the largest amount of weapons in the entire group, on her back was a large broadsword, a high-tech looking rocket launcher, and inside her coat she could feel what she may suspect to be [url=]another explosive of some kind[/url].

    Zestari was wearing an open...racing jacket of some kind. The jacket was of course mostly purple, with two fleur-de-lises on the front, however the jacket also had white highlights, and there was a symbol on the back identical to the one on her flank. Sticking to her shoulder in easy reach was a large, silver pistol on some kind, and on her back was a drum barreled shotgun, also within easy reach. (See this picture for reference, the guy on the right.)

    At that point they noticed something else, they each had an...unusual EFS overlaid on their vision. Instead of the compass function the EFSs from their pipbucks granted, this EFS had three main things, a circular map on the button left-hoof corner that was showing the layout of ‘Purgatory’, and the locations of all the party members, which were marked in green, and the other purple-dressed ponies, marked in purple. On the top right-hoof corner was an image of of the hoof (or in Kestrel’s case, talon) of the EFS’s user, surrounded by a red ring. Except for Cross, who instead had an image of the cane he was holding, with a 16/∞ under it. On the top left-hoof corner was a purple fleur-de-lis, followed to the right by the words ‘Your Stuff’. Under that, were the words “Go the the garage and get your vehicle.” At that point they may notice a glowing blue circle in front of a door in an open, adjacent room.

    Kes immediately began looking around the instant that the simulation came into being. No longer did he feel the familiar, comforting weight of his usual attire. His armor, his weapons...his Mask. Gone. Replaced by a long-coat, a cowboy hat, and some shades.

    He could for once feel the open air on the horribly scarred flesh of his face, and the weight of his new pair of glasses covered. It felt...wrong somehow. Like he was missing a part of himself. Still, it only served to make the already scary gryphon even more terrifying to look at.

    He was slightly relieved to feel the familiar weight of a rifle on his back and a revolver by his side...but for some reason the damn things were not in a holster. They just stuck to him like magnets to a piece of iron.

    "Not even going to ask..."


    Looking around the gryphon could see a few mares earning their pay by bending and dancing on poles, the sight of them dancing in such a way had no effect on the gryphon. Hell they looked silly to him.

    He shifted his gaze around to the statue in the back, reading the small plaque that said something about "The Saint of Saints". Whatever the buck that meant.

    The next, and most glaringly obvious thing he notices was his EFS. All sorts of strange info popped up with it. But the main thing that showed up was an objective, and some kind of wierd blue ring on the floor near the exit to the place.

    Without question he began walking over towards the door, leaving the others behind. The way Kes saw it, the only way to get out of this simulation was to play along and find a crack in the program.

    Till then, he needed to get away from the strippers and get some air so he could figure out what to do. And while he was at it go and pick up this...vehicle the EFS was talking about.

    The light grew in intensity eventually to the point where Scrap could see nothing but a blinding white. Thankfully the intensity only lasted for a short period of time and Scrap's ability to see was returned to him; revealing the room generated by the simulation.

    Scrap was admittedly impressed by the scale of the room although rather less impressed by some of the rooms...less tastefull features...his attention was especially drawn to the statue though he couldn't quite read the inscription.

    He then glanced around toward where the others were taking in the surroundings and there new outfits of which Scrap could only say that the designer must have really really liked purple- still they weren't so bad and Scrap took a cursory glance towards the clothing that he had received.

    Noting the new HUD Scrap checked his new clothing out, finding it rather nice and a bit dapper abet rather purply for his tastes. The weights on his back intrigued him so he used his magic to levitate the objects, which turned out to be rather large machine guns, into hia field of vision before putting them back. Turning back to the rest of the group he asked.

    "Soo...I guess we just follow Kes to the little objective thingie right?"
