A/N: Hi everypony, it's been awhile since I've worked on this fanfic. I have been really busy with my other fanfics since I have a tight schedule. I like how you guys are still reading this story, and I want to thank each and one of you for being patience and I hope I could work on my fanfics more. So let's read the new chapter of "My Little Foundation: Containment is Magic," shall we?

Chapter 13: A Little Assistance

I can't remember exactly where I could meet SCP-914. It's been awhile since I was being chased by SCP-173 and avoid any danger that awaits. My eyes feel heavy, my legs are aching, and my energy is low. As all of my body feel weak, I stumbled on the floor and I vomit. I look at my vomit to see it was red with chunks of the heart. I knew that would bite me back, but I didn't want it to bring me down. My head begin to hurt and my legs couldn't move any longer. This is not good for me or else somepony or something could attack me at any moment. I can't let my guard down. Still, I just want to rest my eyes for a bit. My breathing slows down and my eyelids closed.

...zzz...

My eyes opens quickly as a roar ego through the hallway my weak body was rest. I yawn before getting back up with all my legs now rested and ready to move. I hear the noise again behind me, so I begin to run with much energy I didn't had before. I turn to the left to enter a door, which led me to another hallway. As I ran to another hallway, a different sound was brought up to my ears with electric power. I then saw the same Tesla coil, a trap which killed one of my beloved friend. I was then afraid to be killed, for I still have to get out of the foundation. My reaction to this was to jump forward through the Tesla coil. The electricity was in motion to get me, but as I close to see the trap in action I made it through and the trap missed it's target. The roar then get so loud the whole place shake and I trembled in fear.

'What's roaring in this place. It's going to destroy the place itself if it continues,' I thought as I cover my ears as something continue to roar loudly.

My ears were hurting with the roaring sound before it was low down. In that moment, an alarm was on. This creature roaring has to be seriously dangerous to make this place set an alarm as they did previously when SCP-173 escaped. I got to my sense and continue to focus on looking for SCP-914 so I can get a higher card level to get out of here.

I entered through another door before I was entering a familiar location. It was the T-shaped area, and there was only two doors. I remember that one was on the left and one on the right, yet I also remembered the right door is where I met with SCP-914. I turn to the right door as pipes attached to the walls were leaking and gas was out. With no worry, I press the button to enter the room where I have to use my card to enter through the large metal doors. I pull out the card to have it scan, and the large doors begin to move aside. I then entered the room of SCP-914 as the large metal doors begin to close.

The atmosphere was changed to much calm, yet the alarm was still on behind. I sighed with exhaustion and look at SCP-914. What do I actually say to her? I haven't thought of speaking with her, but I know she was in the large machine. She's actually the machine itself. So what do I really need to do?

"Hello. It's me," I spoke with a bit nervous. It seems weird to speak to a machine. "I need your help."

It was silence before I heard a voice in the machine.

"Welcome back Stevie, to what I can assist?" greeted SCP-914. "You came back to realize there are different types of cards and rooms you need to go through. Lucky for you, this machine I'm trapped in can upgrade whatever materials you have to help you survive."

"You're right, I do need help from you," I spoke with glee and relief. "I need you to upgrade my level card to the next level so I could continue with my escape."

"As much as you want to get out of here, you need more than that to get you out," mentioned SCP-914. "There are different level of the foundation you need to get through."

"So what do you suggest?" I asked if she had a better answer since I really don't know much around the foundation.

"I suggest you upgrade your card and any helpful materials to. All you have to do is put your card and other material to the door on the left. Then set it to any level with the switch at the middle. Then your materials will be upgraded and place to the door on the right."

I nodded to every sentence she said. I look at the door on the left and approach it. The door was opened and I look at my bag beside me. I check it to pull out the card, the gas mask, the GPS map of the foundation, and the radio. This could help me with the many challenges along the way. I place all the items in the door, for now I can use the switch at the middle. I look at it closely to see a familiar cutie mark from the pony in the machine, and what options are available. The switch have five options, which are labeled rough, coarse, 1st, fine, and very fine.

"If I may, you need to be careful about the options," SCP-914 suddenly brought up. "The coordinates don't really work. You must be aware of that."

I then look at the switch again, for now I need to be careful to put what option to upgrade my items. If I do put very fine or fine, would it be the opposite if I put rough or coarse? Would they do want they meant to do? I'm very cautious of this, as I really want to prepare for anything. I continue to think what options to choose, yet I couldn't decide. As I think, I plan to set the switch to fine. I don't want to be impatient to put very fine with SCP-914's warning. I then used my magic aura as it's white color move the switch to fine.

The machine then set in motion with the door on the left close slowly with the materials. I then watch as the function of the machine begin to set. The machine made crunching noises while continue to function. As I thought it was taking forever, the machine finally stop as the door on the right that's used to be closed was now opening. I quickly walk to the door to see the card was now in a different color. That means it was now in another level. I use my magic to get my items out, so I could look at the changes. The gas mask looked more suitable for me to wear and use, the GPS map has different settings and marked locations I didn't see, but the radio wasn't changed as it still didn't had enough power to function right. I now look at the new level card as it's a level 3 card instead of a level 2. I then smile to know I could go to the door I wasn't able to go through.

"I also want to say you can upgrade the card level more for better access to other level doors or rooms. It would be best to do it right now," spoke SCP-914.

I think of what she told me and look at the card. If I'm going to be ready, then I must be prepare in all matters right now. I then decide to upgrade the card again to where it's level was limited.
