      Applebloom was just leaving Sweet Apple Acres to check if her friend Sweetiebell was okay when she saw something flutter down in front of her. "Now what in tarnation could that be?" she exclaimed before picking the item up to examine it. "It looks like a mask but who's mask is it?" she said as she decided to give this to Sabre in case he knew anything about it cause it looked mighty similar to something she'd seen before, but she couldn't put her hoof on it. Shrugging she trotted off into town.

While flying up to the factory a strong wind current came and slammed into RainbowDash as she was sifting through her sattlebags knocking her mask out of her grasp. "Oh horse shoes!" she exclaimed. She really should of gone after it but she wasn't going to be late for work over one mask. She closed her bags and dashed through the clear blue.

Sabre was talking to Cheerilee trying to calm her, she was so worried about Scootaloo that she was hardly able to function. Seeing her like that told me if I didn't find her soon she would cease to function at all. Twilight came back with three cups of tea. She sat them on the table and sat down relaying the evidence. "And then you heard that colt saw "Rainbow Factory" right?". I nodded yes, and she continued. "Doesn't Rainbow Dash run that place now, and should we go up to check it out I've got a spell that could let us walk on clouds." she said.
"As do I, but what does the Rainbow Factory have to do with the foalnappings?" I asked.
"I don't know but we should check just to be sure." she said as an anxious yellow filly came in panting.
"Mister Sabre I think you should see this." she said between pants, and as I took it Cheerilee let out a small yelp.
"The foal napper was wearing that mask!" she said before remembering Scootaloo and going quiet yet again.
"Well I say we give the factory a visit." I said seeing the rainbow colored hair in the top of the mask

"PLEASE LET ME GO!" Scootaloo yelled as Rainbow Dash "softened her up" so the machine wouldn't get clogged. She was covered in cuts, gashes, and bruises now and one of her eyes swollen shut. She just wanted to go home.                                                          But if I do that I could be killed, arrested, or both why I can't let that happen no hard feelings." she said extending her hoof then realizing the foal was bound she just picked up a knife and slashed.

"We're almost there" said Twilight as we descended onto Cloudsdale. The city was a beautiful assortment of buildings made of pure white clouds, pegusi flying all over the place, but what cought my eye was the cloud sending rainbows into the blue sky.
"Now let's get to the factory!" I said before landing on the factories balcony. They were greeted buy two pegusi in lab coats who beckoned for them to stop.
"Halt the Rainbow Factory is off limits please go back!" shouted the pegasus standing next to the balloon his name tag read "Tyler".
"Now that would be lovely, but RUN!" I yelled and Twilight and a jumped out running twords the factory.
