Shoot For The Stars

Rainbow Factory

(Oh, dammit dammit DAMMIT! Why here?)
There was an almost balcony structure at the top, and the fillies and colts around me were shitting bricks. The pony on top cackled with insanity.
"What is going on?" An orange filly- Scootaloo?
{Strange... It seems we went back in time.}
She went back to, um, cackling.
"Excuse me? Rainbow Dash? Could you show me where the exit is?" I said. She stopped and looked directly at me with a death glare.
"How did you-" She started.
"It's because I'm from a different universe, mmmkay?" I replied. She looked stunned.
"Wait, Rainbow Dash wouldn't do that!" Scootaloo objected. I flew up to the platform and grabbed the mask, pulling it off. Having Scootaloo see Rainbow Dash in charge of this made her break down into tears.
"Why? W-why would you do this?" She begged.
"Come on! Does anypony else not notice the fact that I know exactly what is going on here?" I looked around the room. "Nopony? Well, let me explain. Rainbow Dash had to join this factory to make rainbows when Princess Celestia gave up after having to control the sun and the moon, and scientists came up with a perfect idea that makes rainbows out of children being dumped into this doohickey over here, which in retrospect, is not a very good idea. Anyways, fillies and colts that fail the exam are killed to make rainbows when-" I felt knowledge taking over,"- the formula is all wrong! X equals T, not R! It's a simple calculation between formulas and mathematics, but while X creates R, T is a much better substitute for X!" I stopped. Everypony was staring at me.
What was that all about?!
{Sorry. It's a bad habit.}
(We gotta get the fuck out of here!)
Strength?
<On it.>
I turned around to the door that was behind Rainbow Dash and sped through it, breaking the door in half. I flew through around a bunch of tubes, wires, and other things.
Can we get out the same way as last time?
<No, we can't do the same thing over and over again if it wastes tons of energy.>
I found a trash duct of some sort and dived through it, only to be back in the same room that had the machine in it. The guards grabbed me and flew me over to Rainbow Dash, who had a pissed expression on her face.
"I don't know who you are, or how you got here, but you are annoying me, and so you will go into that machine next!" She said to me.
(Well, fuck.)
They brought me over to the machine, and, before I thought they couldn't do anything more that could harm me, the broke my wings. Each time with a shriek of pain finding its way out of my mouth. I was held against a wall by two chains in the wall, and they slowly started moving down.
"I think I should make your death slow and painful." Rainbow Dash said.
Well, we're back to where we started.
(Nopony is going to help us this time.)
{Wow. And we only just introduced ourselves.}
[This sucks.]
<Yeah. Funny, though. We have been in near-death experiences a lot of times, but always came clean in the end.>
Wait, I think somepony is whispering.
"Clear, fly, fall, complete."
Oh, shit.
The room bursted with all of the kids flying around the room, and I saw Scootaloo land on the balcony, with her and some other filly trying to buck the door dow- oh wait, that door is already broken. Let me rephrase that. Scootaloo landed on the balcony, only to be caught by Rainbow Dash. She tried to fly to the side to flip the switch up and save me, until Rainbow Dash caught up and started beating the living shit out of her.
[Oooh... That's gotta hurt.]
Rainbow Dash's hooves slowly became stained with blood as she punched scootaloo until death.
Wow. That didn't happen in the story.
Suddenly, a bright light filled the room. I looked up to see an old style telephone box. Doctor Hooves bursted out and was, well, shocked. He didn't know what to do. That is until he threw a piece of metal in the machine to jam it.
"Hurry!" He yelled.
(Now is our chance!)
<Let's try it!>
I gave Strength control and I quickly busted through the chains and landed on the edge of the machine. I tried to fly over to the Doctor, only to remember that my wings are broken. I landed on the ground, pain in my back, but I still crawled over to the telephone box named TARDIS where the doctor already ran into. I opened the door, but felt a sharp pain of electricity run through my back again. I turned around to the guard that tazed me, and punched him in the face. Strength was still in control, so the guard fell down, unconscious.
Come...On...
I opened the door and jumped in, while closing the door behind me. For what felt like the hundredth time, I passed out on the floor.
