Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria...
…there came an era when the ideals of friendship gave way to greed, selfishness, paranoia
and a jealous reaping of dwindling space and natural resources.
Lands took up arms against their neighbors.
The end of the world occurred much as we had predicted
the world was plunged into an abyss of balefire and dark magic.
The details are trivial and pointless.
The reasons, as always, purely our own.
The world was nearly wiped clean of life.
A great cleansing...
a magical spark struck by pony hooves quickly raged out of control.
Megaspells rained from the skies
Entire lands were swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans.
Ponykind was almost extinguished
their spirits becoming part of the ambient radiation that blanketed the lands.
A quiet darkness fell across the world...
…But it was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world.
Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue for another bloody chapter in pony history.
In the early days, thousands were spared the horrors of the holocaust
by taking refuge in enormous underground shelters known as Stables.
But when they emerged, they had only the hell of the wastes to greet them.
All
except those in Stable Two.
For on that fateful day when spellfire rained from the sky
the giant steel door of Stable Two swung closed, and never re-opened.
Ahh... Another boring work day.
Do these PipBucks ever break?
What is PipBuck?
Look, see?
With this thing, any pony can monitor its health,
sort things in bags, take medicine, listen to radio "Stable".
But most importantly ...
It has a built-in flashlight!
Will they give me one too?
Of course, as soon as you have a cutie mark.
In honor of this, a big party will be held in the Atrium,
during which the Overseer will put your own, personal PipBuck on your leg!
True? Then I'll run to get a cutie mark right now!
Hey dumbass,
did you persuade the bastard to attack me?
I didn't even think, Dark.
Hah! Yeah... You think I'll believe you, thief.
Better tell me, is it convenient to wear a second PB on the croup?
Where are you in a hurry? Break into other people's lockers?
I heard that you had experience in this work while still walking under the table.
Can you teach?
It so happened that I lost a bet on few cool things.
No, I don't do that kind of stuff!
Oh look how good we are
so it makes me sick.
And so every day.
The trouble is that PipBucks break down very rarely,
so the technicians involved in their maintenance are the most unencumbered ponies in the Stable.
My mane stands on end with the thought
that I will be day after day, year after year, messing around in this smelly workshop,
cleaning floors and walls, which are already dull to disgust.
Would paint them or something!
It is unbearable to look at this gray palette!
By the way, let's get acquainted, my name is Little Pip.
I'm the junior PipBuck technician of Stable 2.
A filly without friends, without a normal job, without any prospects.
I got the last cutie mark in my class,
which of course did not add to my popularity among my peers.
In short, a typical loser.
The only joy in life
is to hide in a corner and listen to songs performed by Velvet Remedy.
Who is she? Don't you really know?
Wow! She's the best songwriter in the Stable.
Sweetie Belle would envy her voice!
I am her most devoted fan, and I listened to all her songs several times.
How I wish I could be like her ...
However, every Stable filly dreams of that.
The caretaker says her wonderful songs cheer everyone up
and do not allow us to finally grow moldy and go crazy with sadness ...
Oh honey, is it really that bad?
W... W... What!..
You looked so depressed when I entered.
Can I help with anything?
Velveteen. Remedy. She suggested. Help. TO ME.
Wake me up soon!
Oh ... No, nothing special, everything is fine ...
Perhaps I will be useful to you?
I don't like to be disturbing, but he started rubbing.
Could you do something about this?
O, sure! I will fix everything in an instant!
What are you, all right. No need to hurry.
Anyway, I want to put some ointment on my leg and rest.
I have a concert tomorrow night.
Hopefully, by this time ...
Everything will be ready, do not hesitate.
You will not be disappointed, I promise!
Thank you very much…
Littlepip! Your most loyal fan!
Yes, yes, of course, Littlepip, how could I forget...
I hope you come to the concert tomorrow?
Sure!
Then all the best.
Till tomorrow!
I stayed awake most of the night trying to do my best job,
and now I was going to the meeting with Velvet Remedy pleased with myself.
I can imagine how she will be delighted to see the result of my work!
Well, again, these hunters for autographs, mixed with paparazzi.
And why are they all gathered here?
Enrages!
She disappeared! How could she leave?
Why did she leave us?
Is it possible to open the stall? This cannot be ...
It is not true!
She couldn't leave us! Conspiracy! Conspiracy!
Our Velvet has been kidnapped!
Don't talk nonsense to Lanny Star,
who could have kidnapped her? This bitch ran away herself!
I have always said that Velvet Remedy is a mediocre, arrogant selfish.
Let him die outside now, it's not a pity at all.
Oh, you bastard! How is your tongue not withered to say that ?!
Miserable envious doll! Get it!
Keep calm!
I have a marker for every stall stable!
It is enough to track down her Pipbuck's signal and follow her trail.
I'm sending a search party right now.
Our Velvet will be home no later than sunset.
Do not worry!
Catastrophe!
When they track the signal, they will not come to Velvet, but to me!
I'm in big trouble!
What... is... IT?
Take it and return to your room. Now!
But I believed so, loved so much, and you ...
Lied!
To wind around one's little hoof like a foal.
Velvet, why? What have I done wrong?
Previously, I was simply not loved here, but now they will hate me!
They already hate me, they almost killed me in this damn corridor ...
Gorblimy!
Ah... Please forgive me for such words,
I'm a pathetic selfish.
You are now much worse than me.
I lie warm and calm, letting snot into my pillow,
and you probably now ...
Ah... Nobody knows what's outside.
The stall was sealed two hundred years ago
and since then not a single pony has even tried to come to the surface ...
They say there is nothing on the other side, emptiness.
And ghosts live in this emptiness.
souls of ponies that burned in hellfire
They come from the darkness, and take the souls of the living, turning them into nothing.
We all feel this loss.
But I want to remind you that Velvet Remedy chose her own way.
She decided to leave home,
forgot us, her family.
She lied me and your trust and betrayal us!
In the same way,
she deceived the trust of the pony, which she tricked into removing PipBuck,
so that we could not find her tracks.
I understand...
many of you are angry and upset, and I urge you to direct your anger where it should ...
Thank you, of course, Mrs. Caretaker
for not mentioning my name,
but it will not be difficult to guess,
because there are only TWO pipbuck technicians in the Stable!
Ah, okay, what's done is done.
I wish I knew how she was able to open the door.
Then I would have followed her and brought her back.
Probably...
So, what is this file?
Password protected? Very interesting…
Maybe this is her new song she was working on ...
I'll try to hack,
now there is no one to ask for forgiveness for the invasion of privacy ...
Spare opening code door Stable 2...
CMC3BFF
Okay Littlepip, you can ...
Show all your charisma!
Please let me in. I'll just find her and we'll be right back!
Hey, aren't you the foal that let our Velvet get lost outside?
No, did you hear Bunny? It is not enough for her that she has done, give her an apple dessert.
Get out of here before we call your mommy,
otherwise she'll spank you really well!
Let me correct my mistake, what does it cost you?
Get out, I'm telling you! I count to three.
Or you leave on your own.
or we put your hooves in shackles and take them to the punishme...
Disciplinary room.
One!
Two!
Three... Fuc...
Stop!
I order you to stop immediately!
Security! All the guards will head to the door of Stable 2! Stop that foal!
You will not wait!
Don't make a mistake ... Littlepip.
That's your name, right?
Stop and I promise that no one will punish you.
Don't worry, I'll return her.
No! If you leave, they won't let you back again!
She is there! Close the door quickly!
For Velvet Remedy you were going to send a rescue expedition and bring it back.
Do not let me in back? I'm nothing to us, right?
Then go you know where ...
They...
They all died ...
Here...
They beat on the door, smashing their hooves ... they prayed ...
but they ... they were not allowed in ...
What a nightmare!
Sorry!
Please forgive whoever you are!
