"Scootaloo. Get up. Get up, now, hurry, Scootaloo. Wake up! Wake up!"
Scootaloo shook her head, briefly wondering where she was and what was happening. In a flash, it all came back, and she jumped too her feet. Aurora was shaking her, fright encasing her face. The Suits were starting to approach the two now, tasers and shackles up and ready.
"Scootaloo! They're coming for us! What do we do?"
Scootaloo looked for an opening. All the doors were blocked, except for one. On the scaffolding. The suited ponies were slowly approaching, not rushing in order to prevent the fillies from freaking out. Fear was their tool. Scootaloo spun around, looking for an exit. There was only one, she realized.
"I have a plan," she whispered to Aurora.
"What's that?"
"Clear, Fly, Fall, Complete."
Aurora nodded in understanding, her eyes widening. She repeated, louder now, so the other frightened fillies could hear.
"Clear, Fly, Fall, Complete. Got it."
"One," Scootaloo started counting.
"Two," Aurora squeaked, as she backed into Scootaloo. The Suits were mere feet away now.
"THREE!" A collective shout reverberated around the room, as every filly that could actually fly took off. The suited ponies gasped and fell back, unsure of where to go. There was too much confusion. A few of the faster thinking ones took off as well, tasers at the ready, aiming at the closest pegasus they could take.
"Step one," Scootaloo screamed. "CLEAR!"
With her command, the 'failures' started targeting the dark ponies in droves. Hooves connected with heads, and while some of the students fell lifeless to the floor, the majority of casualties were the suited ponies. Scootaloo and Aurora landed on the scaffolding, right by the door, and reached to open it.
It was locked.
"Oh god, what do we do now?" Aurora cried.
"We're still on Clear!" She shouted, turning around and bucking the door. Aurora followed her, focusing the brunt of her blows on the part of the wall where the latch would be. Rainbow Dash, on the other side of the scaffolding, recovered from her initial shock of the rebellion, and noticed Scootaloo pounding on the door.
"Kill her," She screamed at the other important looking ponies. "Kill her!" She started to gallop towards the fillies, forgetting her wings momentarily. Scootaloo closed her eyes, pounding harder and harder on the door. It started to creak and splinter.
Any second now, she thought, Rainbow Dash will get here. It's over. I'm doomed. She would have cried, but there were no more tears left. But nothing came. The door started to split from it's frame, now, leaning inward. It wouldn't be long until it was open. She opened her clenched eyes, peeking up at the scaffolding.
All the remaining ponies were there, pressing together, holding the enraged blue Pegasus and her cronies back. They wouldn't last long, however- even as Scootaloo watched, twitching and yelping ponies were falling to the floor below, some even landing in the great maw of the Spectra machine. The pink pony from Levitating Acres was there, and she turned to Scootaloo and Aurora, just as the door blew back into the hall behind.
