Scootaloo opened her eyes and found herself in trouble. She was tied to a metal plate with shackles around her hooves and she couldn't get out.
"Wh-what's going on here? Where am I?", she asked herself before she noticed all this modern machinery. Whoever was behind her being kidnapped must be a mastermind. Obviously, it looks like the kidnapper is up to harm Scootaloo.
"HELP ME!", she yelled, hoping anyone would hear her.
"It's no use, little girl.", said a newcomer. It was the kidnapper himself, a two-tone grey Pegasus stallion wearing a red hoodie and with a wild black mane and tail. His cutie mark resembled a white checkered flag. He was wearing a chrome mask so Scootaloo couldn't see his face. "You are trapped here in one of the most remote places in Equestria, far away from Ponyville."
"What do you want from me?", asked Scootaloo, obviously terrified.
"I came here to help you.", responded the kidnapper. "As you may know, I have heard of your inability to fly long ago. It was ever since I decided to move to this world. And now, I have decided to help you get rid of that problem..."
"I... got over it... Why do you want to do this now?", asked Scootaloo.
"What you have is a rare genetic disorder, in which your wings wouldn't grow and you would never be able to fly.", said the kidnapper in response. "Pegasi are born to fly, to be free... But you are different... And so... I want to help you."
The kidnapper pushed some buttons, and grappling arms grabbed her small wings and spread them out. Then, two devices looking like laser pointers came down.
"Are you familiar with something called the 'Sombraverse'?", asked the kidnapper.
Scootaloo had no idea, and responded: "No. What do you mean?"
"I knew that nobody told you about it. It's an alternate timeline that Twilight went through. As far as she told me, Rainbow Dash was there as well. Apparently, technology was so advanced in the Sombraverse that Rainbow Dash was fitted with a prosthetic wing after losing her real one. She was still flying fine with it.", explained the kidnapper before making some final adjustments.
Then, he looked at Scootaloo, his red eyes shining bright through the mask. "And now... You're gonna fly too!"
Scootaloo was getting more terrified by the minute. "Wha-wait! What are you up to?"
The kidnapper turned back to the machine. "Don't worry. It's only gonna hurt for a short time."
And with those words, he turned on the machine. The laser pointers were charging up before they unleash high-power piercing rays, that yet again weren't able to pierce the metal.
Scootaloo now knew, he wanted to cut her wings off!
"No! Stop! Please! I want to keep my wings!", she yelled desperately, hoping that the kidnapper might have a big heart and listen. However, he responded with: "Calm down. You won't die from that. It will be over soon..."
The laser rays were closing in to her small wings, and Scootaloo was now more scared than back when Rainbow Dash told her those spooky stories. As the rays reached her wings and began to cut them, she screamed very loudly in pain as the lasers relentlessly continued their path to cut off her wings with surgical precision.
After her wings were cut off, the grappler machine put them away. Scootaloo was whining in pain as blood ran from the place where her wings were cut off.
"I must say, if you really liked a life without flight, can you even call yourself a Pegasus? Pegasi aren't meant to be doomed to live a life like that. Soon, you will fly as well..." The kidnapper shortly giggled in a serious manner before he operated a different machine. This was a machine that made prosthetic wings.
Based on several data that the kidnapper must have collected on Pegasi, the machine created wings that were big and powerful enough to make a Pegasus filly take off the ground. The creation process went off very fast and the machine even scanned Scootaloo's fur color, so that the prosthetic wouldn't stand out. A very advanced machine, it is.
Once the prosthetic wings were done, they were applied to Scootaloo by stitching them on via a different machine. Then, another machine injected Stim Shots into both sides where Scootaloo's prosthetic was stitched on, and a few seconds later, Scootaloo soon felt her own wings again.
"Whoa..." Scootaloo was amazed at how powerful those wings were. They sure were more powerful than her previous ones.
"Impressed?", asked the kidnapper. He then tilted the metal plate so that Scootaloo was looking up. "Don't rejoice yet, kid. We're not done. You have to test the new enhancement out... With these wings, you should be able to go up to 82 miles per hour. And there's one way to test that..."
Scootaloo had no idea what this stallion was up to, but she knew one thing: It couldn't be worse than cutting her wings off...
