Agent Stellar was waiting for them on the elevator as he told them before. Near the peaks of ice within the glacier. To the continued shock of the Council of Friendship, they gazed upon the gargantuan elevator literally embedded within the mountain. It appeared like a dark cave, a cavern of pure brilliance in engineering and nature’s frozen design. Once everypony was stationed upon it and settled in, Shining Armor nodded to Cosmic Stellar. He pressed his hoof onto the control panel on the front of the elevator.
With a sudden lurch, the elevator cried out before making a slow and subtle descent into the well of darkness. It descended sideways, slinking into the bowels of the icy earth with the whirs and cries of the mechanical chains keeping it from sliding dangerously out of control. The Council shared similar expressions of wonderment and awe beneath their gas masks, though none could tell how they reacted. Light bulbs were embedded within the icy ceiling, giving their descent a much more visible exposure. The craftsmanship of the tunnel astounded Twilight Sparkle. It must have taken years, a budget worthy of Canterlot’s riches in order for a crew to have worked and constructed in such harsh and unrelenting conditions. But that was the price they paid for discovery. That was the risk they took…
For it to completely pay off.
The tunnel had ended and they entered into an underground cavern beyond imaginable scale.
Shining Armor was the first to remove his mask and take in a deep breath. He was not the last. Not by a long shot. It was spread from pony to pony, each one of them removing their individual gas masks and placing them onto the hazmat suit’s strap. As they did so, a new light was shone upon them. Twilight removed her mask and gasped for air, breathing in the chilling vapors of the world beneath the world.
And beneath Outpost Frostbite, she paid witness to a massive mining facility. They all did.
Structures and beams towered from the floor to the ceiling’s seemingly endless peak. Catwalks were scattered from one beam to the next, smaller elevators used to reach and drill and study the various positions laid out on the icy wall. Tunnels and pathways were laid out throughout the facility below them, various minecarts holding chunks of ice and rock rich with the contents T.I.T.A.N. so yearned to analyze. Below, where their destination was nearing by the second, a station was ready with several T.I.T.A.N. scientists awaiting their arrival.
But beyond them… something terrible had happened. Something Twilight had noticed right away. From her own eyes… and from the grimness etched on Shining Armor and Cadance’s expressions. They all saw it just as she had. Just as Celestia and Luna had. Just as Bon Bon and all Twilight’s friends had. As all of T.I.T.A.N. had.
The cavern was infected. There was a growing number of familiar, dark crystals scattered about. They spread like a viral disease, engrained throughout the ice from top to bottom and near every corner of the facility. But that wasn’t all. Not by a long shot. Besides the dreadful, all-too-familiar crystals, the mining in the area unveiled something hidden beneath the ice, within the shattered mountains.
Light from the radiation above shimmered through the ice, illuminating to them a tremendous shadow. A terrifying figure that slithered in a frozen state. Captured in time to be persevered for their viewing pleasure. For their viewing horror. It scaled a height that was almost inconceivable, growing only taller and more ferocious as the elevator continuously descended. Twilight and the Council of Friendship stood in awe as their jaws only fell further, as their eyes only continued to open.
Everypony witnessed it and shared their dread, their uncertainty, and their fear with one another. T.I.T.A.N. knew the stories. They knew the legend. They knew of the beast captured within the hold of the world, gazing to the mighty jaws trapped in that perpetual frozen roar, screaming as its freedom was stripped away by the frost and cold. They shuddered at the teeth of the monster, at the limbs and wings and tails.
And heads.
Bon Bon witnessed it all for herself, for her own mind’s understanding. For her own belief onto the spectacle that everypony else—presumably Twilight and the Council—were seeing for the first time. She knew it was no spectacle, but a terror. A death song of three storms, fallen from above to a tomb of ice and earth that had trapped it for eons. A hydra. A demon of the stars.
The Devil himself.
