Silent space (an MLP fanfic)

Chapter 4

Are..... Are we..... Are we dead yet?

That was the exact thought Steeltrix was thinking when he seemed to come back to consciousness. His body hurt a lot and he felt like he had been hit by a train but as he began to slowly open his eyes, he wish they had been dead.

The hall was littered with debris and he saw Widit and Moonblossom nearby, both also being unconscious from the elevator crash. Steeltrix looked around as he wondered where they were and then he tried to use his nav matrix when it sparked and he realized it had broken. He looked at his health bar and realized it was dangerously low and he took out his only small health as he inserted it into a special part of the suit. With the contents drained, he felt a broken bone mend itself together along with a few major ligaments but his cuts and bruises were still there to be felt.

He looked around as he picked up his plasma cutter from the floor and as he looked around, he heard Widit slowly manage to wake up as he asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened?"

"The elevator broke down or something.... we're lucky to be alive..." Steeltrix said as he looked around. "Say, can you use your nav matrix to find out where the heck we are."

"It's called a locator...." Muttered Widit as he looked at his and then said, "We're three levels below the hangar bay."

"Frak!" Steeltrix said as Moonblossom began to waken up.

Steeltrix helped her up as Widit picked up his pistol and Moonblossom picked up her pistol as Steeltrix said to them, "We need to find either another elevator up or something else.... Otherwise, out luck for trying to find a way off this place might be impossible."

And thus, they began to walk down the lonely corridors again.

The banging of something metal against the ground stopped the group in its tracks. Steeltrix looked around as his plasma cutters lasers danced along the walls and as they looked around, they had only in truth walked down three corridors before this one.

"Any idea what that might be?" asked Widit, although it was partly gibberish due to the gun in his mouth.

"I wish I had a heart-beat scanner... see who else besides us might be alive on this ship.... But, no, I have no idea what that could be...." Steeltrix said as he peeked around the corner.

And his stomach did a double-take.

"Carve... Carve..... Beautiful blood..... Blood, so much red!" The mare was saying as she used the knife to carve another bit of flesh from the corpse of the pony in front of her.

"Who is it?" asked Widit when he saw the mare.

"Friends?"

Everyone tensed up as the mare turned around and Steeltrix saw the insanity in her wide eyes as her smile scared him and she held up the knife in her teeth as her blood-soaked face looked at them as she managed to say, "There's friends!"

"Psychobitch alert!" Widit said as he fired a shot at the psychotic mare.

The shot sparked in front of the mare and she tutted as she said, "Friends want to not be friendly. We must punish them for it!"

And then she came galloping at them as Steeltrix aimed and fired his plasma cutter.

The mare screamed as her front right leg was dismembered and as she fell to the floor, her blood pooled around the floor and her teeth gripped the night as  Steeltrix aimed at her head.

"MAKE US WHOLE!" She screamed before the plasma cutter whined and her head was split open in a single blow.

Widit and Moonblossom slowly came out of hiding from behind Steeltrix and as he walked over tot he mare, he said to them, "Insanity is not an option for us....."
