//------------------------------// // Rebuilt // Story: Cupcakes Aftermath - Rainbow's Rage // by ArtsyGum //------------------------------// Months later, Twilight Sparkle is pacing back and forth inside of the Golden Oak Library. The large bookshelves encased within the oak are filled with dark grey, purple, and green books. The sound of her hooves hitting the wooden floor can be heard. Twilight frowns. The iris of her remaining eye is green and purple with her cutie mark to match from the overuse of dark magic. The other side of her face has a large vertical scar covered by a brownish-grey eyepatch. Around her neck, she has a purple choker with golden spikes around it, and her right ear is pierced with an earring that’s made out of the same golden material. “Dammit!” Twilight says in irritation. A gasp is heard from across the room. “Twilight, language! Not in front of my precious gemstone!” Twilight stops in her tracks as she looks in the direction of Rarity and, realizing what she’s done, Twilight covers her mouth with a hoof. “Oops, sorry, Rarity!” Rarity is covering the ears of her half-dragon foal. Her mane has been straightened, and her neck is decorated with a pearl necklace and a diamond in it’s center. She has a golden piercing that goes up the ear and towards the bottom has a diamond shard that hangs at the bottom. Rarity also has a wedding band that matches on her hoof. The foal’s scales are a pinkish-lavender, and her spines are purple. Around the neck of the foal is a cute baby-pink collar with a cyan diamond pattern. Spike, a hulking dragon with scars across his arms, chest, and face, is holding his foal, looking down at her with a caring expression. “It’s just Brinda said that she was going to contact me about her progress concerning Rainbow today…” Twilight says with a worried and irritated tone. “Oh darling, I know that you’re worried about Rainbow Dash.” Rarity puts her hoof on the back of Twilight’s jacket reassuringly. “Remember that your marefriend is strong. She’ll make it through, darling.” Brinda Sparks, a peachy-orange cybernetic unicorn with brass disconnected robotic limbs that levitate in front of her in the place of hooves, is typing on the keypad that's in front of her. Under the hooves she has silver plates in the place of horseshoes with a glowing yellow crescent on the bottom. She wears a brass visor with green blinking lights on a dark amber one-piece lens. On the visor, and on her robotic parts, there are big glass orbs that contain green and yellow energy that cause them to glow. Her short mane is a faded brown with creamy yellow highlights. The back of her mane is a pixie cut, and she has flat bangs on the front. On her left ear she has a small golden piercing with a larger silver one below it. “Project R-dash-6 is finalized. Time to activate her.” Brinda states in her mechanical voice as she pushes the green switch forward on the control panel in front of her. Next to the switch is an open bag of chips. Her lab has chrome walls and tiled flooring. Sat in the center of the room is single chamber made of green glass. Inside the glass stands a cyborg cyan pony. At the bottom of the chamber is a yellow glow illuminating a half robotic and half pony face. The the left half of the face that was untouched by metal has a pinkish-red scar going down the closed eye and the ear has a cut. The robotic half of its face is dark blue with a magenta glass lens were the eye was.
