The end of the rainbow factory

--This takes place in an alternate dimension, and this is just for laughs, so I'm not being serious--











Optimus was minding his own business when one day...

"Optimus, come quick, there is something you need to see!" said Ratchet, bursting into the room, looking terrified.

"Alright, calm down." Replied Optimus, standing up. Ratchet led him to a room with a computer in it. There was some sort of document on the screen labeled 'Rainbow factory' and he was getting a bad vibe from it.

"Take a look." said Ratchet, ushering Optimus towards the computer.

Several minutes passed.

"Ratchet," Optimus said, finally looking away from the screen, "Get me a spacebridge. NOW."


The chains lifted her slightly, bringing her small body eye to eye with a pegasus in front of her. The pony was a deep, blood red, glistening in the artificial light of The Factory. Her mane had small spots of glorious colours of the rainbow, but was mostly the same red colour as her coat of fur. Chunks of skin were missing from small spots, and her hair was ripped in some places, bald patches of skin in others. The only clue Scootaloo had as to who this used to be were the rose iris' focused on her.

"Any final words, you miserable worthless excuse of a foal?"

Scootaloo brought her chin high, still demanding even the tiniest fraction of dignity.

"You have beautiful eyes," she cooed, soft, yet clearly.

The machine hummed to life. Scootaloo could feel the chains start to twist, this was it. This was the end. She closed her eyes tight, bracing for the pain.

there was a HUGE crash, and then, there was nothing. Absolutely nothing. Am I dead? Scootaloo thought to herself. She slowly opened her eyes and what she saw amazed her. There, standing next to her, facing Rainbow, was a huge metal being. Apparently, it cut the power to the machine, using a huge ax, glowing golden at the tip.

`"Rainbow Dash," It said, It's voice low, commanding, and full of wisdom, "You must end this now, or I will be forced to end it for you!"

Rainbow simply looked up at the huge metal giant standing before her, dumbfounded. "H-how are you standing on the clouds?" she asked. The metal beast's only reply was pointing to the jet-pack he wore on his back. "Oh."

"I will never give in! She MUST DIE!" Rainbow screeched, calling in backup. Hundreds of ponies in masks entered the room, even more than were in there before. each armed with a strange weapon.

"I'm sorry to hear that." the metal monstrosity said, regret in it's voice. It's arm changed into some sort of gun, and he pointed it at Rainbow. "I must insist that you call of the guards." It added, the tip of the weapon glowing blue, "Or I will be forced to end your life."

"NEVER! ALL UNITS OPEN FIRE!!" Rainbow replied, pure rage in her voice.


Optimus fired. Rainbow dodged. A sudden pain shot through Optimus. The weapons the pegasi were using - they shot lightning. Optimus opened fire, shooting the pegasi that were nearest to him, but there were just too many. He eventually collapsed, unable to get back up.

"Is your life really worth saving one filly?" said Rainbow mockingly.

"You'll never stop at one" Optimus replied, pointing his blaster at Rainbow and shooting.

Rainbow, who was not anticipating Optimas to shoot at her, was unable to dodge. The shot hit dead on. She screamed defiantly as her body was disintegrated in the blast, leaving behind nothing but a singed blue feather, which floated gracefully down to the ground.

It was over.

Or so he thought.

With their leader dead, some of the guards started to panic, but the rest re-opened fire on Optimas, in an attempt to avange Rainbow. "I'll take you all on!" Optimus yelled, getting up and shooting everyone, using his sword occasionally to slice someone in half. When only five guards remained, they all ran away screaming. Pathetic.

Optimus had won.

Optimus cut the chains that bound the orange filly, holding her in his hand.

"Y-you saved my life. thank you." she stuttered, tears in her eyes.

"You are most welcome, little one." Optimus replied, "I only wish the same could be said for Rainbow Dash." he added, regret in his voice.


Optimus dropped Scootaloo off at the nearest hospital, and, after saying goodbye, flew off into the sunset.

The day was saved.

Another job well done
