The bus ride was long and bumpy. After many hours through the Everfree forest they finally reached their destination: Neverfree Penitentiary. The brick walls were high and were barbed wire toped. A guard post was at each corner of the outer wall's perimeter, each complete with a guard with a guard on high alert. There were smoke stacks which lead to the boiler room; providing heat for the prison and more labor to keep the convicts occupied. It was intimidating, yes, but not to Martin; he recognized every inch of it.

Krystal was alone in her cell, as she always was. It was dark and the only light source was from underneath the heavy steel door and a small widow. It was cold and lonely, she curled up in her small bed.

The bus rolled in and parked next to the main entrance. The door opened and the driver said "End of the line" Martin exited, he was the only one on it. He could see a bunch of convicts in the courtyard behind the chain link fence that separated the prison's main entrance from the rest of the prison. 'It must be free time' he thought to himself. Free time meant that the prisoners had the freedom to roam the prison by themselves. They could hang out in the courtyard, work in the workshop, or just stay in their cell. Martin knew this, he had plenty of time to study up on things like this before he came.

Krystal was in solitary confinement for a good reason: she was on death row. It's a common practice to keep convicts who are facing the death sentence in solitary confinement. Because if they didn't they didn't know what they would do. There's nothing to stop them from doing whatever they want other than their conscience. But it wasn't fair. She was innocent. She was framed.

As soon as Martin stepped off the bus a guard grabbed his arm and pulled him in the front door to be processed. Hoofprints, signature, give up the clothes on your back and everything on them for a prison uniform. Although he expected that many cons didn't wear them anyway since ponies tend to not wear anything anyway.

There was a knock on the heavy steel door to Krystal's cell. A small window at head level slid open and the guard stationed outside spoke in a calm, smooth voice. Most guards in the prison had a soft spot for Krystal. They felt sorry for her and some of then actually believed her that she was innocent. Nopony deserves the death sentence. But there was nothing they could do. They just had to do their job. "Your cousin is here" he said. "What? But it's Sunday? There's no conjugal visits on Sunday?" she replied. "It's not a conjugal" He said. "Huh?"

Martin was lead through the prison by a guard. He was carrying his new prison uniform as he was trotting. He could see other convicts through the corner of his eye giving him a look that said 'fresh meat'. Some of them were actually wearing their uniform. The more veteraned inmates had more tattered uniforms. Some with their sleeves ripped out and others with bloodstains and knife holes. 'What have I gotten myself into' Martin thought to himself 'No. Get those negative thoughts out. You're here for a reason'. The guard lead him to his cell "Here you are. Home sweet home" he said. The guard left. Martin was alone in his cell with another pony who was laying on the bottom bunk. "So I guess you're my cellmate" Martin said.

"I take it you're new here?" The dark red pony questioned. "What did you do? It usually takes quite a lot of notoriety to get caught up in this horrid place." The earth pony said as he got up out of his bunk.

[Krystal 1,468]

Martin let out sigh that was half mixed with a chuckle "Armed robbery" he said. He still couldn't believe that that part of the plan had worked out so well. He held up the bank which had a sizable number of shares in his company. The judge thought it had something to do with a dispute in how the company should be run and sent him here. No bail. No parole. 25 years.

Map Maker sat up from the ground as he saw a new prisoner taken in. Another one? he thought to himself.

It's been a while since he's seen a new uniform. Practically every uniform was dirty or torn in some way. Even his own, which was inevitable since he's been there so long.

As the other pony walked through the front door, Maker sat down. He never really did anything in the courtyard. He knew nobody as a friend there, as he was quite paranoid. However, he knew that it was always a little safer if there was someone you could trust in a place like this.

[Driku12 64]

The red pony chuckled "You don't seem like a robber. Then again, I don't seem like a killer either. Doesn't look like people get too caught up on appearances these days." The pony let out a sigh and plunked back down in his bunk bed. "Welcome to the deepest, darkest hole in Equestria. You can have the top bunk if you want."

"Ahh. Thank you" Martin said as he put his clothes on the top bunk. While doing so he eyed the toilet in the corner of the cell with a look that said something like 'hello friend'. He looked away before Lionheart noticed.

"Oh... by the way. I-I just wanted to give you some tips. You know, so you don't make the same mistakes in here that I did." *points to a scar on his side and a bruise on his cheek* "One: Don't talk to anypony unless they talk to you first. Two: If somepony does talk to you, don't ignore them. Three: Don't stare at anyone. They don't like that. Just follow those rules and you should get by just fine." The dark red pony rolled over in his bunk. " By the way, I never caught your name."

[Krystal 1,468]

Martin grinned 'making freinds already' he thought to himself "Thanks for the tips and I'm Martin. Martin Lockheed" he said. The advice wasn't really that useful, more of some last minute reminders for what not to forget. He only hoped to talk to a select few ponies in the prison and fairly sure he knew how to warm them up to him.

[Sky 746]

Sky stood in a corner of the courtyard surrounded by his group of Pegasi. "Look at them" Sky said as he pointed over to the group of earth ponies. "They disgust me, they have no loyalty, its because of one of them im locked up in this hell hole. They are all snitches every last one of thrm" Sky said each word filled with hatred. "Then why dont we teach them a lesson?" One of the newer gang members asked. "In time we will" Sky smirked.

[Driku12 64]

"Lionheart" The red pony said with a small grin. "You'll have to excuse me if I sound rather melancholy, this place takes a lot out of me, even though I've only really been here for about a month or so." *yawns* " I'm pleased to meet you, Martin Lockheed, but I haven't slept in a while and I believe I need to be catching up on some shut eye." Lionheart said before he shut his eyes and almost immediately fell asleep.

[Krystal 1,468]

As soon as Lionheart was asleep Martin went into action. First he checked outside of his cell. The guards weren't paying him any attention and there weren't any convicts coming. Marting went over to the toilet and gave it a little shake quietly. He then put his ear up to the side of it and listened. He could distinctly hear the sound of gears moving and steam moving through pipes.

Vinyl Blade was incarcerated earlier that day with a three year sentence. She was the only unicorn there, but her horn was cut off when she was convicted. It would grow back, but it would take time. Being the only unicorn there she knew it was time to nut up or shut up. She sat in her cell most of the first day

[Krystal 1,468]

'Everything is going according to plan' Martin thought to himself. 'I was lucky enough to have a seemingly good roomate and now I only need one thing to get my plan started'. Just then he heard one of the guards yell "Cons! Time to get some shuteye". 'Right on cue' he thought. It was the end of the day and the guards would be herding all of the prisoners back into their cells and lock the doors for the night.

Luke lay in his bed staring at the bunk above him, he then heard the cell doors beginning to close, scratching the straps holding his wings down he turned over the face the wall, "hey Rodge did you see that new pony earlier today ?" He asked glancing up at the top bunk, "Uh yea I did why do you ask?" said the green earth pony looking down at Luke, "I dunno there was just something strange about him." He said looking back over at the wall.

[Croaks 251]

Maker was escorted into the prison from the courtyard along with every other prisoner. It was time for sleep. One of Map Maker's favorite times.

He walked into his cell, climbed up onto his top bunk, and lied there, gazing at the ceiling as each light in each cell went out one at a time. Eventually, his cell light went out, the room succumbing to darkness.

He slept.

With a loud buzz of the automated alarm the bars to all of the cells rolled open. A guard yelle "Rise and shine, cons!" It was time for breakfast. Martin figured he'd best get the day started sooner the better so he hopped off the bed and gave Lionheart a shake "Hey man it's morning. Time to wake up" he said.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

Vinyl woke up, not bothering to tell the pony above her that it was morning. She walked down to the mess hall and stepped in line. Great breakfast we're having she thought sarcastically. She looked up at one of the cells and saw someone shaking his cellmate awake. He's gonna get himself knocked the fuck out

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

When Luke heard the doors open he got out of bed stretched and walked down the stairs to breakfast.

once he had his food he sat down with a big group of pony's, "mornin boss," said a red pegasus at the table, "Good morning Light" said Luke in a dull voice,

"You alright Lukas ?" asked another one of the pony's, "Im fine, just didn't sleep well," he said staring blankly at his food.

[Sky 746]

Sky got up and went down to the mess hall. He got a bowl of whatever the disgusting slop what they called food was they were serving and sat down on his usual table with the rest of his group of Pegasi. The group ate in silence.

[Krystal 1,468]

Martin gave up on wakin up his cellmate. He decided he'd just head off to breakfast anyway. As soon as he stepped out of his cell a guard approached him and said "No breakfast for you yet. You've got an appointment with the doc". Martin thought to himself 'Really? We go to the nurse so soon? Okay.' He let the guard escort him to the nurse's office. Not that he needed to be; he knew this prison like the back of his hoof.

[Driku12 64]

Lionheart slowly stretched, yawned, and looked around the cell. The door was open and Martin was gone. He looked out through the small window in the call and saw the sun already up in the sky. "Oh bollocks, I overslept." He took a step out of the cell. " From the looks of it, it's about breakfast time already... I'd better get there before everypony finishes it all off."

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

Vinyl kept looking over at the table of pegasi. Looks like a bunch of stuck up little pricks to me she thought as she kept eating. Vinyl noticed that she kept staring at the blue pegasus who seemed to be the leader of the group.

[Driku12 64]

Lionheart got his food and was walking to go sit down when he noticed somepony sitting at his usually empty table. "Oh no." He thought "I knew it was only a matter of time before one of these idiots tried to invade my spot." He looked around to see if there were any other empty tables. None. "Oh well... I guess I'd better take what I can get..." As he walked closer, he saw something that stood out on the pony. "What the? Is that a growth on her head? Wait a minute... she's a unicorn! Is she new here?" He sat down a couple of seats away, and took a small glance and saw that she was staring at the leader of the Pegasi. "Rule number three: Don't stare at anypony, they don't like that." He said to the obviously new unicorn.

[Krystal 1,468]

Martin reached the Nurse's office. The guard led him inside, shut the door, and waited right outside.

 

Nurse: "So you must be... Martin Lockheed..." she read his name from her clipboard "Funny. That name sounds familiar..."

Martin: "Well I guess it must be a pretty common name" he said

 

Krystal was wide awake in her cell when the guard knocked on the door to wake her up. She didn't sleep that much anyway but last night she had something in particular to keep him awake; her cousin. What was Martin doing in the prison? Wasn't he just there for a visit last week?

 

Nurse: "Alright well let's get started" she said. Martin was given a regular checkup; get weighed, eye exam and all that. They had just finished up when something at the bottom of the clipboard caught her attention "It says here you're a diabetic?"

Martin: "Eeyup" he said. It should after all; that's what he wrote under 'medical conditions we should know about' on the form he had to sign when he was incarcerated.

Nurse: "Well then I'm going to have to give you daily shots of insulin"

Marin: "Can't you just give me the medicin and let me do the injections?" that was a stupid question but he needed to make sure that his plan was working.

Nurse: she laughed "Sorry, nice try. No needles allowed for the inmates" she gave him an injection from a syringe "I guess were going to be seeing a lot of each other" she said

Marin: "I guess so" he said. 'perfect' he thought to himself as he let a small grin show on his face

 

"Breakfast, Sugarcube" the guard said as he slid a tray into Krystal's cell from under the door. Grits and bread, like every day. Krysal slowly ate it 'I guess I'll see him in the courtyard later today and ask him' she thought to herself.

"Rule number three: Don't stare at anypony, they don't like that." He said to the obviously new unicorn.

 

Vinyl looked at the inmate next to her. "Rule one: I follow my own rules. Got that?"
