In a darker place in the world Scootaloo’s dad was standing their with his son and some of his friends which weren’t exactly the nicest looking people most had either hammers or other blunt weapons Scootaloo’s dad put on an eye patch and turned around “I like your idea Gilda this really will hurt her how do we go about doing this” Gilda looked at the man with eyes of hate “She will pay for what she did to me what did you say your name was again?” The man looked at her “Call me Neo”
Soarin was outside playing with Scootaloo just messing about in the air Scootaloo was just doing basic movements attempting to mimic Soarin Mustang popped out of a cloud Soarin saw her and stood in front of Scootaloo to protect her “Mustang that is close enough” “Whoa Soarin chill out I just wanted to apologize for my behavior the other night it was despicable and its not my place to do what I did I should of left you and I really am sorry for what’s about to happen.” Soarin looked at her confused then ducked as a knife swooped over him someone had thrown it he turned around to attack the pursuer but as he turned around Mustang kicked him in the back of the head knocking him out she caught him and rested him on the cloud Scootaloo didn’t know what to do if she did anything they would break her so she made an attempt to run but Gilda flew down and landed in front of her “Come here or I will break you” as she said that Scootaloo tried to turn around but Gilda grabbed her by the throat and flew off.
A few hours later Rainbow came outside “Wow what a nice nap wait Soarin” She saw him on the cloud unconscious in a pool of his own blood she ran up to him and picked up his head he was gaining consciousness “Ahhh my head oh Celestia Rainbow they took Scootaloo I tried to stop them but I wasn’t strong enough they have her quick we need to help her I think they plan to kill her Rainbow gave Soarin some room and thought to herself ok where would they take her “Soarin I cant think straight lets go see Twilight she might have some ideas”
At Twilights house the knocked and she answered, “Listen Twilight this is important Scootaloo’s dad has Scootaloo and he plans on killing her I need your help do you know where they could have gone” Twilight looked to her friend “Well after your dispute with him outside sugar cube corner I found a book on an anonymous pony but it match’s his description perfectly you wont like what it says though its not good” Rainbow looked worried at her friend “Twilight I know its bad but we don’t have time to delay” Twilight took a deep breath “Ok listen Scootaloo’s dad refers to himself as Neo he has been in a lot of bad stuff and dragged Scootaloo in with him he does bad stuff he hurts ponies robs from them he once broke into Canterlot bank and stole just about all the money in their his two accomplices were Scootaloo and Wrench they were tools for him he has hypnotized them before many times he has drugged them the lot that is why Scootaloo left.”
“Do you know where they could be I need to know if he kills her then it will kill me I cant live without her I just cant” Twilight thought for a while “I'm sorry Rainbow I don’t know where they would go he is unpredictable” as Twilight said that Applejack walked in “hey der Twilight Rainbow how yo all doin today” Rainbow spun around quickly “Applejack you gotta help me have you seen Scootaloo or her dad?” Applejack replied instantly “Why yeah I have I saw her and that Mustang character and I saw her dad oh and I even saw that Gilda friend of yours from a few years back she did not look happy come to think of it none of them did” Rainbow looked furious “Gilda why is Gilda with them I never did anything to her anyway did you see which direction they were heading” Applejack put her hoof to her chin thinking “Well they were headed for Dragons gorge but that place is dangerous why would they head their” Rainbow and Soarin shot out of the tree house ignoring Twilights request to come back it started raining the two of them stopped “Rain seriously oh by Celestia what the hell is that” Soarin pointed to some huge storm clouds “Soarin we don’t have time for this those clouds will take hours to get rid of we don’t have time now come on” Rainbow shot off Soarin close behind her the entrance to the gorge required you to go through a building shaped like a skull but once through it you were straight at the gorge the building was shaped like a rock structure but inside it was very well set up with desks and tourist attractions.
They entered into the building Rainbow was leading the way it was spooky in their when it was abandoned it was very floral lots of flowers and surprisingly big trees Soarin stopped moving and looked over at an apple tree “Hey dash look at that” Rainbow turned and saw a tree falling to the ground quickly above Soarin she ran up to him and pushed him out of the way he tumbled to the ground the tree crushed her right arm and wing she cried out in agony “Soarin my wing I think its broken the bone is out of place and I can feel where it snapped” Gilda emerged in front of Rainbow “He cant hear you he is unconscious he hit his head when you pushed him you listen here these are the last few words you will hear before you die when I found out what you did to my family I promised to never forgive you” Rainbow looked up in confusion “What I did nothing to your family I haven’t even considered knowing you since you left the party I was going to follow you but I have new friends and I'm sure you do too I hoped we could still be friend AHHH” I have wanted to hear you cry in pain ever since I found out what you did its what kept me going revenge as a motive its sad when you think about it” Rainbow looked at Gilda desperately “Gilda please listen I don’t know what you are talking about I have not touched your family deliberately at least what happened” Gilda looked at Rainbow.
“You really don’t know do you I can see it in your eyes your not lying “ Rainbow looked at her “I promise we have been friends for years since we were at flight school and I would never deliberately hurt you” Gilda looked at Dash with sympathy she had fallen for Neo’s trick she had a flashback of her in front of a burning house on her knees crying Neo walked up to her “I just saw a Rainbow trail leading away from this house what happened” She looked at Rainbow Dash distraught by her actions Rainbow looked back “Gilda its ok I forgive you but listen if I don’t get out of here my daughter is going to die and I cant live without her” Gilda looked behind her she saw the attack party ready to kill Rainbow her team started flying towards her the executioner got a small knife threw it in the air then caught it and threw it towards Rainbow who saw it coming towards her and closed her eyes ready to feel the knife enter into her head Gilda saw time slow down she knew this was the kind of thing where you only get one chance to do a life changing thing that brings good or bad she stepped in front of the knife it entered through her body pinning her against the tree.
“Listen Dash I'm so sorry for everything I'm not going to make it make sure that Neo gets what he deserves” after she said that she put all her might into kicking the tree off of Rainbow she failed it was to heavy “I wont let you down Rainbow” she said as she squatted the knife rising up through her body as she did the pain was unbelievable her head was throbbing she tucked her talons underneath the tree and with all her power lifted the tree giving Rainbow a chance to free herself Rainbow got up “thanks G don’t worry he will pay” Soarin had just got up as well.
“Dash come on we don’t have much time” Soarin said as he rushed over to the exit of the building and too the entrance of the gorge as the two of them went back into the rain Rainbow saw Scootaloo standing beside Neo who had her at gunpoint “Rainbow, Soarin how kind of you to join us guards get them” Rainbow turned around to see Mustang charging at her with a baseball bat Mustang took a swing at Rainbow who quickly ducked under the bat as Mustang was recovering and preparing for another swing Rainbow got up and threw a left hook into Mustangs face Mustang swung again Rainbow leaned back and then foreword into Mustang knocking her to the floor Rainbow felt a sudden pain in her waist and felt herself falling another guard had rugby tackled her to the ground then another guard grabbed her left arm the pony that tackled her grabbed her right arm “Wait” said Mustang the two guards turned around confused “I'm not done with her turn her round” Rainbow was forced around by the guards Mustang raised her hooves “This is gonna hurt Dashy” Rainbow closed her eyes ready for the impact.
Mustang threw punch after punch for about three minutes non stop punches to the face the body and a few times Mustang had even kicked Rainbow in the legs The two guards dropped Rainbow giving her a chance to get some rest before finishing her off Rainbow fell into a puddle she turned her head so that she didn’t drown from that beating she had received three tooth losses a dislocated shoulder a broken ankle several feathers were missing from her left wing and her right wing which was already broken had bruises everywhere “Ok I'm done take her to Neo he has something special set up for her.
The storm was getting worse Neo had Scootaloo in his hoof he lifted her up by the throat as he did lightning struck behind them Gilda’s goons still had Dash she was helpless to help the young filly her heart was being torn from her body as he hit Scootaloo making her bleed her lifeless body was weakening after every punch Rainbow could see more light leaving her eyes bit by bit the color was weakening Rainbow was screaming at this point for him to let her go her cheeks were dampening not because of the storm but because of her tears Soarin who was also being held by Gilda’s goons saw the impact this was having on Rainbow.
“Rainbow I'm sorry” Soarin shook off the two goons holding him he sprinted as fast as he could towards Neo who saw Soarin sprinting at him so dropped Scootaloo and pulled out his gun as Soarin jumped at him a bullet went straight through Soarins right wing he cried out in agony but didn’t stop he smashed himself into Neo knocking him off the cliff behind Soarin toppled over the cliff with him Rainbow yelled out again “NOOOOOOOOOO” her heart had been clawed out by Neo Gilda’s goons dropped Rainbow and ran off not knowing what to do Rainbow collapsed in the wet mud rain pouring down on her she felt the rain on her cheek piercing her skin she had lost everything she walked over to the Cliffside where Soarin had just fallen then looked to the left to see Scootaloo she checked her pulse “Still breathing oh thank god” but Scootaloo’s heart was failing she had taken to much punishment Rainbow thought to herself “I am not losing you too” she grabbed Scootaloo and threw her onto her own back although having a broken wing she ignored the pain and shot off into the sky going faster than she ever had before her heart was still aching from what Soarin had sacrificed for the two of them.
Rainbows vision was blurring she was drifting out of consciousness the pain was becoming to much but she couldn’t give up she could actually see Ponyville she couldn’t give up she felt herself falling and her eyes closing but still kept flapping her wings she couldn’t keep going she was about to lose consciousness the pain in her wing was unbelievable now no pony can fly with a broken wing it was impossible because the bone was snapped and out of place she once again felt herself falling but couldn’t give up she was so close to Ponyville she took one huge flap of her wings her right wing which was broken felt a huge pain the bone had moved out of place and had forced its way through the skin and was sticking out of the wing itself Rainbow was about 50 meters from the hospital then she just felt her body fall she was going so fast that she landed outside the hospital Scootaloo landed on her back rolling once but Rainbow rolled out of control she slid across the mud that was previously grass the rain had destroyed everything and hit a rock which acted like a ramp and shot her body into the glass doors she was going so fast that she shot through the glass doors smashing them the only thing to stop her was the front desk and that stopped her with a sickening thud.
Twilight who was talking to spitfire saw Scootaloo on the floor and ran over to her Twilight picked her up and took her over to the hospital where she saw the smashed doors and Rainbows lifeless body where nurses were treating her Twilight felt dead inside everything slowed down for her she saw doctors and nurses running up to Rainbow who looked more than dead Twilight took Scootaloo inside and dropped her off in a chair and told spitfire to “get her some help” as twilight said that she saw Rainbow being carried away on a stretcher she tried to follow but one of the doctors said to her “Sorry no ponies allowed beyond this point and he closed the doors on her she looked over to her friend who had both eyes closed and her mouth partially open she saw them speed up suddenly they weren’t walking anymore they were sprinting they took her into a room and started pushing down on her chest through all the commotion twilight heard one of them shout “We are losing her” Twilights heart stopped she charged through the door that the stallion had just closed on her and sprinted for Rainbow’s room she smashed into it and ran up to Rainbow the doctors tried to hold her back but she made it over to her friends ear and whispered “Told you that you would be a good mum” then she was pulled away.
Spitfire heard Scootaloo talking in her sleep she leant over to hear the little filly “Rainbow I just want you to know that you were the best mum a filly could wish for I love you” and at that point Scootaloo’s head dropped and she fell to the floor.
