//------------------------------// // 6) Factory // Story: The Adventures of a Human Peach // by AppleTank //------------------------------// Ponies were deemed an illegal industrial chemical by the Royal Court, so the Rainbow Factory was rushing to find a new resource to create Rainbows with. At the time being, emergency Rainbows were being made with chameleons, bunnies, and zombies, in which the blended mixture was being treated with electrolysis through a lamp energized by Nightmare Moon’s spirit. It worked and looked rather similar, but there still seemed to be a missing element. Blending zombies just didn’t feel the same. There was a certain punch to the gut that the new formula lacked. On the other hoof, Sombra found a new job during this crisis, and gave up his empire conquering ambitions and turned his energy into raising the dead and luring colorful animals to run the Rainbow Factory. The Princesses worried that Sombra might try to take over something if they took his job again, so after several behind-the-curtain deals involving an illegal shipment of peaches, Sombra was promoted to CEO of the Rainbow Factory. This solved one problem, but Sombra was still accustomed to ruling over a nation of slaves, and often made unreasonable demands towards his employees, like stifling their emotional responses as they ground up the helpless, colorful, cursing zombies. There was even a strike; the ponies were claiming that Sombra might kill them to fuel his zombie powered company. He had to make several demonstrations that the zombies he summoned were OSHA compliant, and didn’t violate any FDA laws. Plus, Sombra said that he never uses pony skeletons. They were a lot happier after the fact. A few months later, there was a new development in the Rainbow Factory’s lab. One of Twilight’s Peaches (somehow) fell into the labs, and they were found to help add the bit of life into the Rainbows. Princess Twilight made a lot of money off of selling the rights to her special Peach Farm since they were the only ones that had a similar effect, on the condition that she always gets a free shipment of peaches every week. Huh. Nice factory. I wonder where I’m being sent this time- Is that a blender? What?! AHHHHHHHH! Oh dear.
