"You're a unicorn, so I found one powered by magic. It's not as big as mine so there's no trigger. And by connected I mean nopony else can use it." BRS explained. She, surprisingly to herself, was beginning to like this pony. In a few ways, he acted like her. Only, plus the hyperactivity. That pony is very bouncy.

Only, plus the hyperactivity. That pony is very bouncy.

"Ahh..." Clockwork responded, observing the little shoe shaped device. He had actually taking a liking to this pony. While she had the potential to be cold and didnt listen too well, she had a great sense of adventure, that was for sure. And plus, she had a sense of mystery about her... like Lisbeth from "The Pony with the Manticore Tattoo."

"Right, now for my second question..." Clockwork said, putting the small device down carefully. "Why are you doing this? I mean, a few hours ago, you didnt even want to be around the bouncy, space traveling pony."  

[Alastryona]

"Similar interests." Was all BRS said to Clockwork in reply. She turned and trotted out of the room. She entered a door off to the side in the hall. Silently she sat with a pen in her mouth and some paper in front of her, now writing about the creature from before.

. Silently she sat with a pen in her mouth and some paper in front of her, now writing about the creature from before.

Clockwork dabbed at the last bit of blood that was flowing from his nose as BRS left the room.

"Similar interests... hm. Seems good enough..." He said to himself, observing the creatures thatw ere in the chain cages before him. There were the usual equestrian dangers than any ponyville resident would see. But then there were the strange ones that only an adventurer pony would see. The Maurach's that were just brought back, a set of Jachraphras from cloudsdale, and a few of those giant-spider-things that liked to live in the everfree forest.

"Hmm... a well traveled mare..." Clockwork said to himself. "Perhaps we could go traveling together..."  

[Alastryona]

BRS finished writing and rolled up the paper, tying it with a ribbon and latching it with a buckle that looked like a star. She lay down, her boots next to her and her jacket over her like a blanket. Her legs were curled up under her and her head was under the hood of her jacket, making the only thing out from under it was her pigtails, one twice as long as the other.

... making the only thing out from under it was her pigtails, one twice as long as the other.

Clockwork, having grown tired of standing around and waiting for Black Rock to return, began doing a small bit of exploring, using the map he was given to explore a series of branching paths that eventually took him to a clifflike structure. Staring down into the pit that stood before him was like staring into nothingness. There was no bottom. No end.

"Amazing..." He mumbled to himself, pulling out a quill and marking this place on his map with the name 'Devil's Pit.' "It goes nowhere...with the capacity to go anywhere at all! Ahh, I love new places!"  

[Alastryona]

BRS woke up and flung the hood off her head at the same time. Outside, the moon was still high, and in the exact same place, for it never moves. She stood and fastened the jacket around her neck how it was before. As she trotted out of the room she slipped the boots on her back hooves.

Clockwork had made it back to the general area where BRS was now, and he found himself observing another of the hundreds of cages. This one held an Ursa Major, and animal that Clockwork was only able to view from afar. He watched as its stomach raised and settled in the strange, catatonic sleep it was put into.

"Wowie... an Ursa Major... up close and personal. Just like i imagined! It's got the wiggly bits and everything!" He said to himself, watching in amazement.  

[Alastryona]

BRS heard a rattling from the cage room and broke into a dead on gallop. The door swung open before she even reached it and once she was inside she skidded to a stop. She looked around franticaly, though saw nothing out of order. The rattling sounded again, only now was much louder and sounded like something was about to break. She galloped toward it even faster and stopped when she saw one gigantic chain-cage shattered on the floor. "No no no no no no not good." She said quietly. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the flash of muddied scales. She felt something hit her and send her flying, and instead of landing gracefully like she had done before when she jumped from things, she rolled and slid. She was up quickly, staring into the face of a swampy colored wyvern, about 3/4 the size of a fully grown dragon.

She was up quickly, staring into the face of a swampy colored wyvern, about 3/4 the size of a fully grown dragon.

As Clockwork observed, he heard the distinct sound of a cage smashing. His body tensed, his eyes narrowed, and as they did, he pulled his goggles down over his eyes as he galloped quietly and cautiously, getting that sense that one gets when they feel something is wrong.

He eventually came upon the remains of a shattered cage. He immediately cocked his head to one side, then the other, searching for the beast that had escaped its cage. While his eyes didnt find anything, his ears picked up the sound of a scuffle, and he quickly rushed in that direction. And it was then that he came upon the scene, his mouth hung open in shock and excitement.

Black Rock was face to face with a creature known as a swampy colored wyvern, known for being bad and incredibly dangerous creatures, which is probably only boosted when kept captive for Celestia knows how long. And then, something clicked in his mind.

It's front leg was beginning to lock up in an attack. Would Shooter be able to escape? She was a resourceful pony, and she was quick to act in the face of danger, but could she escape the claw of a dangerous creature flying at immense speeds in close proximity? Probably. But he didnt know for sure. He wasnt too far from the creature, but he didnt have time to use magic. By the time the spell would be charged enough to get its attention, the attack would have followed through already. So, he did the only thing he could think of doing.

He charged. Picking up speed as he galloped, he charged until his horn impaled itself in the creatures massive hind leg. Not the...cleanest of horn usage, but it got the job done, because the creature reared back in pain before shaking him off, sending him across the floor, sliding on all four hooves.

"Black Rock! What happened?!" He called as he caught his footing on a chain, stopping the slide as a spell began lighting up his horn. "Why is there a swampy colored wyvern on the loose?!"  

[Alastryona]

"Not sure, but it usually means something bad is going to happen. Those cages were made to put creatures to sleep. NOT to be woken, EVER." BRS rolled and stood, dodging an attack from the creature. "This thing needs to be lured out of here. Before it breaks another cage." BRS's eye lit up with the fire once again and produced a black katana, as long at the pony's body. She held it in her mouth and galloped towards the wyvern, impaling her sword on the beast's leg. Quickly she pulled it out and began galloping to the exit, the wyvern following, too close behind. The doors opened and the creature and pony passed through. "FIND THE ROOM THAT SAYS POTIONS ON THE MAP, AND FIND THE ACTUAL ROOM. INSIDE FIND A BLUE BOTTLE MARKED WITH A BROWN CAP AND MEET ME AT-" Her sentence was cut off by a short yelp and a roar, followed by quickened hoof steps and the beating of wings.

"Wasting no time, Clockwork rushed towards the potion room, which was marked in big letters on his map. But he kept repeating something over and over to himself."

"Brown cap... meet me at the what?! Where?!"  

[Alastryona]

BRS stopped suddenly when she reached the gorge. She had no time to call the bridge, so she simple began to gallop alongside it.The wyvern was catching up, she had no choice: she had to jump. She galloped back, then turned and went full speed. While she galloped, she summoned her gun and used it as a stick to help launch herself across. (What's that thing called? IDK) She barley made it, her ffront hooves being the only ones making it. She desperately tried to climb up with her back hooves, but it didn't work. She summoned back her sword and stabbed it into the ground, trying to pull herself up with her teeth as well now. On the other side, the wyvern slowly crept in her direction, now she was sure it was just toying with her mind.

Clockwork burst throught he door into the potions room, nearly knocking the door off of its hinges. Inside the room were tables, boxes, and shelves stacked with different potions and concoctions. His eyes scanned the are frantically, going over blue, yellow, pink, and orange capped potions.

"C'mon... c'mon... where's the brown?! Where are you! Ah! Hahaha! Found you you little--"

He dove at a table, knocking a few of the bottles down off of it in his frantic need to get to the one in particular. There, in front of his eyes, was the brown capped vial, holding a strange looking liquid inside of it. Not thinking twice about it, he took it and shoved it in his goggles for safe keeping, checked his map quickly, scanning his eyes ofver the routes, then dashed from the room, ending up back in the area where the two ponies had been seperated.

"Meet her where... meet her WHERE?!" Clockwork said to himself, pacing back and fourth, biting his lip, trying to think of what she could possibly mean. "Ahh, blimey!"

In a last ditch effort to find her, he ran out the door where BRS had exited with the creature, following the path of destruction left by the swampy colored wyvern, hoping he'd end up where she was.  

[Alastryona]

BRS felt her hooves slipping, She desperately tried to climb with her back hooves, still to no avail. The wyvern was at the other edge of the gorge now, taunting her mind with it's creeping. BRS stopped kicking and let go, falling into the pit. She fell, her eyes closed. A few seconds later, she was literally galloping up the inner side of the cliff, on a vertical wall. She was different though, the flame from her eye was purple, and so were her eyes. Her jacket was different as well, black and white and armored looking, same for her boots. In her mane was a black- thing -that was adorned with a white cross.
(Imagine this as a pony)
