Human in The Rainbow Factory (Redone)

by unleashedtwilight


The Horrible Truth

To be honest, I was a little relieved when it was the purple unicorn that found me. I wasn’t too relieved from all the FUCKING QUESTIONS!! I sighed. “Look, my name is Josh, and as you can tell, I’m not from this world. I’m a human.”

“A human...”The purple unicorn said in awe. “Well, my name is Twilight Sparkle.”

“Right... Twilight...” I sighed and rubbed the back of my head.

“Something the matter?”

Should I tell her now? No... No, if I tell her now, she won’t believe me. Telling her that her friend has been killing and grinding innocent pegasi? That would make me look insane! "No, it's nothing... It's just that I've never seen a unicorn before... They don't exist on my world."

"Well, how did you get here?"

"It's hard for me to explain that part..." I said sighing. This is ridiculous... 

"Why is that?" She asked tilting her head. "Well, you see, I--...."

"Twilight??" A familiar voice exclaimed.

"Aaahh!!" I exclaimed running into Twilight's house. I waited near the window hearing their conversation.

"Twilight." Rainbow said. "Have you seen anything suspicious lately?"

Oh no... Please please please....

Twilight put her hoof to her head to think. "Not that I recall."

Oh thank you god...

“Why?” Twilight asked. “Did something happen?”

Rainbow Dash looked to the side for a moment. “No, I thought I saw something... Sorry for bothering you Twilight.” she quickly flew away.

Phew... I then quickly heard the slam of a door. Oh fuck...

“Explain yourself. Now!” Twilight said in a serious tone.

“I told you it’s hard for me to--...”

“NOW!!” She exclaimed interrupting me.

“Okay! Okay!” I exclaimed and sighed. “It all started on my world...” I sat down on a chair. “I was with my friend Nick. We were about to go to a convention which I really had no interest in... But then we got into a fight... and he made a wish that... came true almost completely...”

“What do you mean almost completely...?”

“He wished that I was sent to Equestria and that I would die here...” I sighed. I looked up at Twilight who was covering her mouth with a look of shock. I’m just glad she’s not asking how he knew about Equestria...

“That’s just awful...” Twilight said. “I realize that friends can have arguments... but wishing they were dead? How could anyone say that to a friend...?”

“I guess it was kinda my fault...” I sighed. “I sort of made fun of the convention he was going to... because of what it’s for...”

“What was the convention for?” Twilight asked sitting down.

I paused before I answered. “I’m sorry, I just can’t think right now...” I sighed. “I still feel kinda hurt...” Please acting, don’t fail me now! 

“It’s okay, I understand...” She said.

Oh thank you Jesus...

“What I don’t understand is why you were afraid of my friend Rainbow Dash.”

FUCK!!

“Look, I don’t feel comfortable talking about it right now.” I sighed. “Can we talk about it in the morning?”

“I suppose so...” Twilight said looking a little confused.

“So... where am I going to sleep?”

“Hmm... well, I have plenty of room in my bed for two.”

Okay, now god is just torturing me... still would rather sleep with a pony than get killed by one..... Dear god, did I really just think that?

“I guess I don’t have much of a choice...”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Twilight asked. “Am I not pretty or something?”

GOD STOP FUCKING WITH ME!

“N-no! I-it’s just I’ve never exactly slept with a pony before...!”

Twilight just laughed. “I was only joking. Relax, nothing weird is going to happen.” She rolled her eyes. “Come on Josh...” she said as she was walking to her bed.

This can’t be happening... 

I just sighed and followed her into the bed. “Goodnight... Twilight...” I said getting under the covers with her. I suddenly felt a hoof around me. “What are you doing??”

“You felt kind of cold... I am too.” she yawned. “Goodnight Josh...” she slowly closed her eyes.

Perfect... just perfect... First I get sent to a factory that kills pegasi, and now I’m being hugged by a purple unicorn!... I swear, if this wasn’t real, I would have thought that I smoked before I passed out. I then just decided to let the thought go and fall asleep. To my surprise, it was actually pretty comfortable. Hours that had felt like only minutes passed, and it was already morning. However, when I opened my eyes, Twilight wasn’t in the bed with me anymore. “Twilight...?” I said getting out of bed and rubbing my eyes. “Twiligh--...” I fell down the stairs not paying attention. “Ooowww...”

“Oh my gosh!” Twilight exclaimed running toward me. “Are you okay?” she asked helping me up.

“Yeah... Not exactly awake yet...” I said rubbing the back of my head. “Ow... you have anything to eat? I’m starving...”

“Uh... here.” she levitated a sandwich to me.

I took a bite out of the sandwich but quickly spit it out. “What’s in this, flowers??”

“Actually, yes...” Twilight said a little confused. “Sorry, I’m not sure what humans really eat.”

Right... Ponies... “Well, how about some--...” I was interrupted when there was a knock on the door.

“Oh, hold that thought.” Twilight said walking to the door. “Who is it?”

“It’s Rainbow Dash...” she said from behind the door.

“Bye!” I yelled about to run, but then I get levitated into the air by Twilight. she just glared at me for a moment and opened the door.

“What can I do for you Rainbow Dash?” Twilight asked.

“This may be strange of me to ask but--...” she stopped and looked directly at me. “HEY!!” she stormed in. “What in Equestria are you doing here, Josh!?”

“Wait a minute, Rainbow Dash, you know him?” Twilight asked.

Rainbow glared at me before she responded. “I do...”

“Well, what did he do wrong?”

“Something personal, that’s all I can say...” Rainbow Dash said. “And if he know’s what’s good for him, he won’t say either...” she mumbled so that only I could hear. I just slowly nod in agreement. She gave me another glare before walking out.

Twilight just looked at me in confusion. “What in Equestria was that all about!?” she exclaimed. “How did you two meet, and why was she so angry with you!?”

“I can’t say Twilight...”

“What do you mean, you can’t say!?”

“I just can’t okay!?”

“Why not!”

“I can’t tell you why!”

“Tell me right now!!”

“Because she would kill me if I did!!” I exclaimed. This time Twilight looked at me in shock. “She would... kill me like my ex friend Nick wished for...”

And just what I thought would happen happened... “Are you insane!?” she exclaimed. “Rainbow Dash!? She would never harm anypony!”

“Yes she would Twilight...” I sighed. “In fact she’s killed ponies for over a year...”

This time Twilight looked more shocked and angrier. “You’re lying! You are out of your mind!”

“I’m not lying! I don’t lie!” Okay that last part was a lie... “I’m serious; Rainbow Dash shows no remorse for killing pegasi!”

“Shut up! You’re lying!” Twilight exclaimed. “She would never do that! I’ve known her for a long time, longer than you!”

“I’m not lying Twilight!”

“Then prove it! Prove to me that she’s killing ponies!”

“The missing pegasi!” I exclaimed which made Twilight go into shock. “Why do you think pegasi have been going missing without a trace?”

“N-no... you can’t possibly be saying that Rainbow Dash is responsible for all that!”

“It’s not Rainbow Dash alone...” I sighed.

“Stop... stop it, I don’t believe you!”

“Many other Pegasi work with her, and they show just about the same amount of remorse as her.”

“That’s a lie!!”

“It’s not a lie!” a voice exclaimed walking in Twilight’s house. Dr. Atmosphere... “Everything that this man says is true.”

“W-...who are you...?” Twilight asked. “I’ve never seen you before...”

“Not surprising, considering I was trapped in that factory all these years... I am Dr. Atmosphere.”

“Factory? What factory?”

“The Rainbow Factory...” I answered, having Twilight look at me. “It’s hidden in the weather factory...”

“It’s where failed pegasi go to die...” Atmosphere said.

“F-failed pegasi?” Twilight asked.

“Every pegasus pony is to take a flight test in cloudsdale... if they passed, they were free to go. But if they failed... well... you know what will happen.”

“This can’t be true... it just can’t be...” Twilight said. “How do you know all of this?”

“Because...” he sighed. “I used to work in that very factory...”

Twilight went into complete shock and anger. “What!?” she exclaimed. “You knew it was wrong, and you continued anyways!?”

“I didn’t have much of a choice at the time!” he exclaimed. “Josh is the reason why I escaped!”

Twilight just slowly turned to me. “S-so... then... everything you said is t-true...?” I just nod. “Oh my gosh...” she put her hoof to her head. “I can’t believe this...”

“I’m really sorry that you had to find out like this Twilight...” I said sighing.

“It’s okay...” she sighed. “A-at least... I know what’s going on now... But what I don’t understand is why? Why would they kill pegasi like that?”

“To make rainbows...” Atmosphere spoke out.

“I’m sorry... what?”

“They’re killed and extracted of their spectra... so in short: the rainbows you see is the blood of innocent pegasi...”

Twilight just started getting into a panic and started breathing heavily. “This is too much...”

I was just thinking to myself through this situation. And all that came out of my thought was... “Poor Scootaloo...”

Twilight’s eyes shrunk as she heard me. “S-S-Scootaloo!?” she exclaimed. “Scootaloo was killed there??” I just nod and she starts going into tears. “W-what are we going to tell Sweetie Belle and Applebloom...? They were her best friends and they kept waiting for her! It’s completely shatter their hearts if they find out about this...”

“Then don’t tell them...” I sighed. “Pretend that you don’t know anything...”

“Don’t tell us what?” A voice said from behind me.
