Twilight and Spike can see a bunker from here. The begin to charge in, but one of the Mills throws a Coring Charge in Vinyl Scratch and Bon Bon's direction. Vinyl Scratch screams. "Grenade! Turn Back!" Twilight and Spike jump back as she says. The grenade blows up both Vinyl Scratch and Bon Bon.
Twilight and Spike feel devastated due to the loss of two friends. Celestia starts to talk to them through their ear mics.
"Twilight and Spike, we just got a flat line signal from Vinyl Scratch and Bon Bon. No time for tears. You're on your own for now. Get to the other side pronto!"
Twilight and Spike start to look. The only thing they can see is a bunch of pipes hanged by wires. Twilight tells Celestia.
"The only thing over here is some pipes being hanged by wires."
Celestia responds. "Try finding a weapon to cut those wires."
They now look around for a weapon. After a few minutes, Spike finds a weapon in a crate. He hands it to Twilight. It looks like a saw gun. Just what they needed!
Twilight aims for the wires and fires at it. The wires are cut and the pipe falls over, leaving a path to the other side.
They begin to walk across and see a whole group of Mills on the other side. Spike says.
"We can't take on all of them. I got another plan." He points to an air duct that can fit both of them. He continues to explain. "We can sneak around without having to attack. Then, when we need to attack, we can ambush them."
Twilight is surprised. "Wow Spike, that sounds like a great plan."
They both jump through the air ducts and begin sneaking. They find a path out, but they don't take it. They see something they need though. Another weapon! Spike crawls out for a moment and takes the gun, and then sneaks back inside. This kind of gun looks like a machine gun. This will do well. They continue to sneak around and they find another secret chip. They take the chip and they see an opening where they can surprise attack some Mills. They quietly crawl out and destroy a few Mills, but this makes quite a bit of noise. It makes enough noise to make the Mills below suspicious.
"Hey, target that noise." One of the Mill Grunts says.
They see Twilight and Spike and they scream. "Get them!"
Six Mills pop out and start shooting. Twilight and Spike fight back with the machine gun they found. They are blowing all of them away. Spike does a clever technique where he jumps over one of the Mills and the Mill shoots another Mill.
He scolds. "Not me, not me! Shoot the dragon!"
There is nothing but scrap metal everywhere. Twilight tries to open the door to the next area, but it won't open. Spike notices something. He picks up a chip that one of them dropped. He is looking around for a place to put it. He finds a console in one of the rooms. He puts in the chip and the console turns on. He sees something on the monitor. He starts to use the analog stick and the buttons. Twilight walks in and she is angry to see what Spike is doing.
"Spike, this is no time for Video Games!"
Spike says something to Twilight. "It's not a game. I'm controlling one of the Grunts."
Twilight is confused so she walks over to the screen and sees that he is controlling one of the Mill Grunts. On the monitor, the Mill is walking around. Other Mills are trying to talk to him, but there is no option to make him talk, so the Mill stays silent as the other grunts are trying to make him talk.
"Trooper, report." One of the other Mills says.
"You are violating procedure." Another one says.
Spike controls the robot to walk over to a door and open it. Twilight and Spike both see another golden chip. Spike moves the Mill up some stairs. Another Mill begins talking.
"Are you functioning properly? I'll notify a tech."
Spike controls the bot to climb higher as more and more Mills start talking to him.
"Boost and operation number… now!"
"At tent hut!"
"Must be your first assignment."
Spike climbs up to the top and sees a generator. Spike starts shooting at it to destroy the glass. Right away the Mills notice what he is doing.
"Intruder! Intruder!"
The controls the body to jump into the generator the destroy it. The console is destroyed and the door is open. Twilight and Spike run through the door to the next area. When the door opens, more Mills pop out. Twilight and Spike took out the Mills at the door and continued on. In a crate, Spike found a little robot. It looks like it won't hurt them. The little robot they can see is happy for saving it from the crate that the Mills probably locked it in. The robot starts copying their every move, even gunfire! They open the door to the next room and they see Mills on the other side. This time the Mills are easy due to double fire power! Spike throws one of the Mills into the ore that is melted into liquid. The Mill starts burning from the extremely hot temperature. Twilight walks over to a switch and presses it. The ponies that were trapped are now free! More Mills come in to take them out, but with the extra fire power and the extra soldiers, they take them out easily. Only one remains, but it's not a Mill Grunt.
"It looks like some kind of robotic squid." Spike says.
The new machine goes after Spike and grabs him by the leg. Twilight shoots the robot's arm and it drops Spike. Spike lands on the ground perfectly safe. The robot crashes to the ground and all of the robots in this area are destroyed. Thus they continue to the next door where more Mills are waiting. Another robotic squid is there and they destroy all of them. The squid was easier this time. Twilight, Spike, and the rest of the soldiers freed jump on an elevator and it drops them down. They continue on and see the same place where they controlled the Mill. The place is falling apart. There is explosions everywhere, metal pipes falling from the ceiling, and the Mills in the room are being destroyed not even by Twilight or Spike. Celestia begins to talk again in their earpiece.
"This area is very unstable, Twilight and Spike. You better get out of there quick!" Celestia warns Twilight and Spike. They start running for the exit when Spike remembers something. He runs the other way and Twilight doesn't know what he is doing. Spike runs into the room Spike opened with the Mill and picks up another golden chip. Then Twilight and Spike run to the exit. They see another pony there. He begins to speak to them.
"I'll get you to the far end of the mines."
Twilight and Spike start to run to the door when the ground starts to collapse right underneath them. The pony starts to panic.
"It's collapsing, move quick, no!"
Twilight and Spike begin to fall into darkness. They both wonder if they will make it out alive.
Will they make it out alive? Find out next episode.
