Rainbow Factory Condemned

Chapter 14

Discord held two coconut halves in each of his hands and was banging them together. After a few seconds, he tosses them aside."How strange it is it, to see so much chaos not caused by the lord himself. The Element of Loyalty, acting so out of suit; I dare ask, what caused such a "virtuous" mare to adopt this lifestyle? Drawn to disorder like a moth to the flame, I have come to see what path you have laid.

"Shut up" Dash muttered.
"Silence isn't the answer I seek. So tell me Rainbow Dash what would your friends think of you now, murdering a foal, especially Scootaloo, would they still accept you, who are you loyal to?"
"I KNOW WHERE MY LOYALTIES LIE! I DIDN'T MURDER A FOAL, I MURDERED A FAILURE! MY FRIENDS ABANDONED ME A LONG TIME AGO!"
"That's all I needed to know."
"STOP FOLLOWING ME!" Dash yelled in a panic. Discord only smiled gently as he slowly fades into the background wall and completely vanishes.

"Ms. Dash?" The door slowly opened behind you.
"Dr. Atmosphere....." Rainbow Dash's composure slowly crumples as she feints and collapses with a small thud. Dr. Atmosphere rushes to Rainbow's side and yells at the ponies outside
"WE NEED A MEDICAL DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY" a pony in lab coat with medical supplies quickly enters the room and heads for Rainbow Dash. "NOT FOR HER..." He looks at Dash, "For her" he points to Scootaloo. The doctor stumbles before nodding and rushes over to the table she was tied down to. "As for the rest of you, carry her to her quarters."

You notice an empty saddle bag on the floor, pick it up and strap it across your back. Several ponies standing outside rush in, pick Rainbow up and carry her out of the room. You watch them as they rush past you. Discord' s words echo in your mind, "a choice you must make". You lack the time to properly assess the situation. On impulse you rush out the door and still see the ponies carrying Dash. You have to run to keep up with the workers. They weaved their way through the wreckage getting farther and farther away from you. They turn a corner and escape your sight. You run to catch up but, as soon as you turn the corner, they were gone. All that was left, was a single door.
