The darkest secret. Being kept by one of the Mane six. And she will soon kill them all. Under any circumstances. Even to just create rainbows. And to get rid of any trace of this betrayal. Celestia, Harmony isn't always what it seems.
I will kill my friends. Even under any circumstances. I'll do it just for the production of rainbows. I'll do it to create the best colors you've ever seen. I'll do it to end this... Betrayal. They betrayed me. So I'll betray them.
Celestia. Sometimes, harmony isn't what it seems. What are you going to do about the deaths of five ponies? And what would you think If it was the element of Loyalty that did this?
No... How do I know you're talking the truth? If it's true, I will find out. Me and Luna will stop you.
Oh, I wouldn't say that yet. You could be jinxing it.
This story may be edited in the future as the story is in very bad shape at the moment.
"Wh-what..." Rainbow Dash couldn't believe her eyes.
"You guys..." This felt like a stab in the heart. Give it five extra stabs for each friend.
"What?" Twilight walked over but Rainbow Dash pushed her backwards.
"Rainbow! What was that for!?" Applejack helped Twilight back up.
"Why... why did you do this?" "Well, we thought we would teach you a lesson. But apparently you caught Pinkie Pie before it was time for the great reveal. But we decided-" "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?!" "Rainbow! Please! Listen to me!" "NO! You ruined everything! My reputation, my fan club, EVERYTHING! YOU RUINED MY LIFE!!!" After that, everypony was silent.
"We're sorry. We just didn't know what else to do." "Well, here's one way: come and at least TALK TO ME FIRST BEFORE STABBING ME IN THE BACK FIVE. FUCKING. TIMES!!!" "We're sorry. It's just that-" Rainbow Dash gave Twilight a hard slap across the face. Rarity tried to hit Rainbow Dash back but missed. But she was at least able to tear a bit of her factory uniform.
"SHUT UP! You all know that I value loyalty over everything! I would've died to save one of you! I would've done anything to save you all! But after this! THIS BETRAYAL! I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER DO THAT AGAIN! THAT INCLUDES YOU, FLUTTERSHY!!!" Fluttershy squeaked and got behind Rarity.
"B-but I only did the fly by. I didn't do anything else." Rarity put a hoof around her, getting her magic ready for anything Rainbow Dash might do to the timid pegasus.
"I. DON'T. CARE. You were part of this! You were all part of this! Now nopony even considers me their hero! It's all just Mare Do Well here, Mare Do Well there, she's everywhere! There's only one pony I know who still likes me more than your 'Mare-Do-Well' and that's my sister! No, not Scootaloo! Rainbowrio! And Scootaloo used to think of ME as her hero! SO BUCK YOU ALL!" Nopony said anything in a long time.
"If you excuse me, I have somewhere to be right now. Enjoy your lives as Mare-Do-Well. Now I'm a nobody outside of the Rainbow Factory." Rainbow Dash took off towards Cloudsdale, not looking back at her so-called-friends even once.
"Well, girls. This backfired on us." Twilight said.
"I'h can't believe it. What were we thinkin?" Applejack took off the hat of her Mare Do Well costume.
"We betrayed her. She's right. And she does value loyalty over everything else. We betrayed her."
"I don't think we're going to be able to make it up to her." Rarity sat down and Fluttershy put her head on Rarity's shoulder, crying.
"I'm afraid so." Celestia said, as she flew to the five ponies.
"P-Princess Celestia!" Twilight cried.
"I'm afraid you just lost one of the most important elements. Rainbow Dash will never forgive you now. I don't know what will happen to you all, but I hope she will at least come back." Twilight looked the princess in the eyes.
Rainbow Dash landed in front of the Rainbow Factory and scanned her hoofprint. She let the door open as soon as the scanner recognized her hoofprint and she stormed in.
"Ms. Dash! Are you alright?" Hide Atmosphere flew over to Rainbow Dash.
"My so called friend just betrayed me. And you know I don't take betrayal well." She left out the s, not wanting to cause any problems.
"Hm? Well, what do you plan on doing with her?" "Well, I can't kill her. That would throw the harmony off balance. It's already slightly out of balance." Kill them. And you won't have to feel the betrayal ever again. No. Equestria might be taken over by chaos again and the Princess might not be able to do anything.
"Er, Miss Dash? Are you okay? You kinda zoned out for a sec." "Uh- yes. Please excuse me." Rainbow Dash walked away. Atmosphere cocked his head to the side.
"Ah. So you're going to act like that, eh? You'll going to be fine soon." A fire colored mare flew over. "Dr. Atmosphere, sir. You're needed at one of the backup devices." Atmosphere sighed and lifted his glasses up a bit.
"What's wrong with her now?" "I- she won't work. I think one of the gears got jammed again. Thankfully, nopony turned her up to full gear when it happened." "That old thing might have to be repaired or even replaced soon." "But sir, she's been here since we started this rainbow making process. We can't replace her now!" "Phoenix. Please calm down. We'll find someway to make her stop doing that. That old hag is one of the factory's greatest reputations."
"What am I going to do?" Rainbow Dash said, slamming a hoof on her desk, the other one on her forehead.
"I can't move now! Nopony would survive a day in my horseshoes. Probably except Atmosphere. But I can't." Rainbow Dash looked at the picture of her 'friends' on her desk. It was the day after the gala. She removed her hoof from her forehead and slammed the picture down, cracking the glass. It hurt to see it. She didn't want to be reminded of the incident once she forgot it.
Just kill them. How many times must I say no? Just kill them. And the pain will go away. NO. They'll come and get you back soon. And they'll be dead the second they enter. Shut up. Somepony knocked on the door. Rainbow Dash sighed.
"Who is it?" "Ms. Dash. Your... er... 'friends' are here to talk to you. They're waiting outside." "Glaze. Please. I told you I want nothing, and I mean NOTHING, to do with them." "They said it was important." "Tell them nothing is going to change my mind." "But-" "DO NOT make up excuses." Rainbow Dash heard Glaze's hoofsteps fade away as she walked away.
"Now they'll just keep bugging me until they get me back." Rainbow Dash groaned.
As I said, just kill them and they'll stop bugging you. The more you mention it, the better the idea sounds. But it'll just throw the harmony off balance untill the princesses gain control of the elements again. Which means I'll have to die too. No one gives a shit about harmony in here, right? Well, I do. ...
Rainbow Dash heard a commotion outside. She got out of her chair and opened the door. She flew towards the racket and growled when she saw what the commotion was about.
"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight shouted as Applejack attempted to buck a guard in the face. Twilight flapped her wings at the guards, making it more difficult for them to reach her. Unicorn and alicorn magic was prohibited inside the factory. Rainbow shook her head and sighed.
"Let go of them. ALL FIVE OF YOU. OUT. SIDE. NOW." The guards let go of the five ponies and they all glared at them. The five mares went outside. Rainbow Dash angrily landed on the cloud floor outside. Twilight tried to burst out an apology.
"Rainbow Dash! Please! Just give us ano-" "NO. I want nothing to do with you guys. I hate you all. And I NEVER want to see you guys EVER. AGAIN." "Please! Rainbow! We-" "MUST I call the main weather factory ponies here?!" "But I thought this was the-" "This is the Rainbow Factory. The Weather Factory is RIGHT THERE. NOW GO AWAY." "Come on, Twi. There's no changing her mind." "B-but the Elements! Equestria! The ponies! They need all six of us! The Elements won't work without all six of us!" "So? Like I give a crap about-" Rainbow Dash cut herself off.
"Just go away. If I ever see you guys again, don't you dare try and get me back again." All five ponies looked at each other and nodded.
"Okay. But I hope you'll change your mind." "Oh, I promise you all I won't." She began walking back inside. Twilight sighed.
"Dr. Atmosphere, in my office now." Rainbow Dash said over the income. About a minute later, he arrived.
"Yes?" Dr. Atmosphere asked, opening the door to Dash's office.
"I... kinda need help. I usually would have my- *ahem* 'friends' help me, but they can't do anything now. So you're one of the best ponies I can call right now." "Is it about them again?" "Yes! I don't know what to do! And you know I can't stay here, even with Rainbowrio working here too." "Well, you could've called her here instead." "Yes, yes. Well, she's busy. I don't know where. I think she said she had to finish a book- or was it a story? Nevermind- that she had to finish." "She's so busy with those these days." "Yes. But we're not here to talk about her." "Yes, yes. We're here to talk about your 'friends'." "'Friends'..."
"Princess Celestia said we might be able to get her back... but how?" Twilight paced around while her friends sat in their assigned seats.
"She said maybe so it's possible we won't." Applejack said.
"I know. We have to try. But I don't know how." "I know! Let's have a BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG party and ALL OF PONYVILLE WILL BE INVITED!!!" "That's not going to work, Pinkie. We have to try something else." "Make her a cake?" "No." Pinkie Pie gasped. "LET'S MAKE HER CUPCAKES!!!" Everypony turned towards Pinkie Pie. She facehoofed herself.
"It's just a made up fanfic. Like I would actually kill somepony for a cupcake, let alone any of you guys or Dashie!" "Yeah. We've been in your basement anyway." Twilight Sparkle sighed and finally sat down on her throne.
"I regret this..."
"No... stop..." Rainbow Dash muttered in her sleep. "Stop... StOp..." She began to twitch violently. "No... no... NO!" She shot out of bed. "Oh Celestia no... I can't kill them." She took a deep breath and flopped down onto her bed. Somepony knocked on her door.
"Whaaaaat? Give me a sec." Rainbow Dash got out of bed, fixed her mane, and put on her uniform. She walked over to the door and opened it.
"Dr. Atmosphere? The hay are you doing here?" Dr. Atmosphere sighed.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, but your... 'friends' are here again." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes.
"Tell them if they ever come here again, then my guards will TAZE THEM and I will bring down the ENTIRE Lower part if the Factory on them if VERY. NECESSARY." Dr. Atmosphere nodded and flew away.
How much longer will it take before you actually agree to kill them? Just stop... You'll agree soon... Shut up...
"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight burst into the room.
"What the- TWILIGHT!? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?!? YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE YOUR ASS IN HERE!!!" Twilight flinched.
"D-did you j-just... s-swear?" she asked, bringing a hoof to her mouth. Rainbow Dash facehoofed herself and swore some more under her breath.
"Yes. Now tell me how the hell you got in and how you aren't dead yet." "D-dead?" A wicked grin slowly spread across Rainbow's face.
"In the Rainbow Factory... Where your fears and horrors come true..." "W-what?" "In the Rainbow Factory... Where not a single soul gets through." Dr. Atmosphere came in and grabbed Twilight. He blocked her magic and Glaze tied her wings and hooves together.
"I'm sorry, Princess. But I can't let you go now..." "Rainbow! What are you doing!?" "Oh, I have to lock you up for now." "B-but why?" "Where your fears and horrors come true..." The way Rainbow Dash said that sent chills down Twilight's spine.
"Lock her up. If any of my other 'friends' come in, make sure they don't escape. I already have plans for them." "NO!" "Shhhh... I'll take your horn and wings away if necessary." Twilight got a bolt of magic ready. Rainbow Dash chuckled and got up in the alicorn's face.
"Look at you. So desperate to get out. I was planning to let you and the others live, but you wouldn't stop bugging me. And you finally reached my maximum annoyance with you all. Desperately trying to get me back. But that's never going to happen. After your... betrayal."
Rainbow Dash grabbed Twilight's horn and jerked it off. Twilight gasped.
"A-AH!" "Take her away." Twilight struggled against Atmosphere and Glaze's grips but without her magic, it was difficult. The last thing she heard from Rainbow was that one line that made it feel like hundreds of bugs were crawling across her skin.
"In the Rainbow Factory... Where not a single soul gets through..."
"Alright! What is takin Twilight so long!?" "Patience, darling. Patience." Rarity sat down next to Fluttershy.
"She's been in there for almost an hour." Pinkie Pie said, flopping onto the cloud floor.
"An hour!? It wouldn't take Twilight that long!" Rarity jumped up.
"Should we go in?" "We probably should. What if something bad happened to her?" "G-guys. Twilight told us to wait out here." Everypony turned toward Fluttershy. Fluttershy let out a small, shy squeak and hid her face inside her mane.
"Well, we can't just wait here! I forgot how long Twilight said the cloud walking spell hoodoo would last. That's a metal floor so at least we won't fall down." Everypony except Fluttershy nodded.
"B-but the p-pony said that Rainbow w-would bring down the entire W-" "Well, we can't just wait here!" "Applejack. I appreciate your concern for Twilight, but Rainbow would never hurt her. And she's an alicorn." "Well, from what I know, unicorn and alicorn horns are fragile!" "Yes, but-" "Alright! That's it! I'hm going IN!" Applejack ran inside.
"Wait! Applejack! Rarity yelled. Pinkie Pie sat up and one of her Pinkie senses acted up.
"Ooohh... my Pinkie sense is telling me Applejack is going to be in big trouble and something bad will happen to her." "Something bad? What will happen!?" "I don't know." "I NEED TO KNOW!!!" Rarity shrieked and ran after Applejack.
"Rarity!" Fluttershy cried. But she was already out of earshot.
"Should we go after them Pinkie?" she asked.
"They're going to die in there if we don't help them." "B-but you said you didn't know what would happen." "Eh. Google, YouTube, that stuff." "What?" Fblrbalfbflfbr DON'T GO BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL NOW! Oopsie!
"Nothing!" "O-okay." "My Pinkie senses are telling me that-" Pinkie Pie started shaking. "-that our friends are going to die if we don't help them. If we go in, we might survive and get out or die as well." Pinkie said while jittering around. She finally stopped.
"Sh-should w-we still g-go in?" Fluttershy whispered.
"Our friends are going to die, we can go in and save them now or die with them. I think going in would be a good and bad idea." Fluttershy looked at the factory.
"I think we should go in." "Okay! Good and bad idea!" Pinkie Pie bounced inside and Fluttershy followed, hiding her face in her hair but allowing herself to still see.
Rainbow Dash zoomed through the hallways. She stopped by one of the turns. She thought she heard a familiar voice just around the corner...
"I'h think we're lost." "What do you mean lost? I thought you said we were following the signs!" "I think we might've taken a left when we were supposed to turn right." Rainbow Dash peeked around the corner and growled.
"Well, what are we-" "Rarity! Applejack! How wonderful to see you both!" "Rainbow Dash!?" "Yes. Now tell me what the hell are you two doing here!?" "Well, tell us where Twilight is!" "You shouldn't be here..." An ecstatic grin spread across her face. She brought a hoof to a small device on her other hoof.
"Get them." she said.
"Wha-" Two pegasi grabbed Rarity and snapped her horn off, knocking her out in the process. Blood spurted out of the opening now in Rarity's head. Four more came over and held Applejack down, making sure she couldn't hit them.
"What they hay!?!?" Applejack yelled.
"I'll be willing to repeat to you what I said to Twilight..."
"What the- WHAT THE HAY DID YOU DO TO TWILIGHT!?" Applejack furiously tried to escape, but the guards were well trained and were able to hold her down.
"Oh. Well, she's locked up right now and are waiting for you guys." Applejack growled and tried to bite one of the pegasi. But one of them gave her a hard punch in the face, nearly breaking her muzzle.
"Oh, I wouldn't do that." Rainbow Dash smirked and laughed.
"What's so funny!?" Applejack shouted.
"I think I hear Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy coming." "Dashie?" They heard Pinkie cry.
"Pinkie! Don't-" One of the pegasi quickly put a muzzle on Applejack, preventing her from talking.
"Hey, Pinkie! Over here!" Pinkie Pie turned the corner and gasped.
"Dashie! What are you doing?!" she shrieked.
"Oh, I was just taking them to Twilight. WITHOUT fighting." She glared at Applejack and the cowpony growled.
"Then why does Applejack have a muzzle on?" "She was yelling and SCREAMING at me AND my employees." "Okie Dokie!" "It seems more like... Applejack had to fight you for a reason and Rarity got knocked out." "Fluttershy? Do you think AJ had a reason to fight?" "It's Applejack to you now." Applejack tried to say through the muzzle.
"I'm sorry. I can't hear you through your muzzle." Rainbow Dash said with a look of disgust.
"Now follow me. Or you will be forcefully dragged there, just like Applejack and Rarity."
"Why is there so much of this red stuff?" Pinkie Pie asked again. Rainbow Dash was reaching her limit.
"It's just there." she growled.
"Okay!"
"But why is it-" "I SWEAR TO HELL WILL YOU STOP ASKING?!?!" Pinkie Pie flinched and nodded, producing a zipper out of nowhere and zipping her mouth shut. Rainbow Dash slammed the doors to the Pegasus Device open and Dr. Atmosphere came over.
"Is this a good idea? We've never tried non-pegasi before." "Look. You wanted to try non-pegasi." "But only one of them is a pegasus. And here we have two earth ponies, a unicorn, and an alicorn." "If it will work with pegasi, it'll probably work with other races." "Okay. And also, I thought you said friend." "I left out the s at the moment for a reason, you know." "Ah. Well, you can explain later." Atmosphere flew up to the scaffolding and watched them from there.
"Can you both stand still?" Rainbow asked Pinkie and Fluttershy.
"Whyyyyy. You know I can't-" "You are pissing me off every time you MAKE UP AN EXCUSE." "Sorry, Dashie!" "I'll be right back. And don't call me Dashie" Rainbow Dash whispered something to one of the pegasi holding the still unconscious Rarity and she nodded. The pegasus pulled out her taser, making sure nopony saw and walked over to Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy.
"What are you-" She flicked on the taser and tased Pinkie. Fluttershy screamed and tried to run, but she was too slow. She was down in less than a second. Rainbow Dash grabbed Fluttershy and Atmosphere lowered the shackles above the Pegasus Device. Dash clasped them to Fluttershy's hooves and ordered the pegasi to throw the others into one of the cages in front of the device.
"Now, we wait for them to wake up before bringing Twilight in." She said flying over to the scaffolding and landing by Dr. Atmosphere.
"Ow... what happened? Dashie?" Pinkie Pie rubbed her head and saw a small scorch mark on her shoulder from the tazer. She looked up and saw Applejack bucking the cage wall. Her muzzle and ropes were on the cage floor. She looked at Rarity, who was sitting in the corner, her hair a frazzled mess, her makeup smeared all over her face, and her horn broken. She looked around for Fluttershy but couldn't find her. After looking around for a few more seconds, she saw Fluttershy hanging above the Pegasus Device.
"So... I see you're finally awake. And I expected you to be the first one to wake up." Rainbow Dash said from. All three ponies looked up and saw Dash had landed on top of the cage.
"Let us go!" Applejack yelled. Rainbow Dash made a clicking sound and hovered above.
"You really think I would after your betrayals? No. Never. You knew how I would react after your whole Mare-Do-Well act." Applejack was about to protest again then realized she was right.
"It... it's true. We all knew it. But..." Rarity buried her head in her hooves, smearing her makeup even more than it already was.
"Help!" Fluttershy cried. She had finally woke up and realized what was happening.
"What is Fluttershy doing up there?" Applejack asked, pointing and biting her lip.
"Oh. She's the first one up. Which reminds me... YOU CAN BRING HER IN NOW!" Two pegasi pushed a cage in.
"Girls!" Twilight cried, grabbing the bars.
"Twilight!" The three ponies in the cage cried. They ran towards the side of the cage and watched as the pegasi pushed her until she was directly across from them but was slightly angled to face the device as well.
"Fluttershy!" Twilight cried and tried to force the bars apart, failing miserably.
"Aaaaaaand that's not going to work." Rainbow Dash said.
"Rainbow! Please! Don't do this!" Fluttershy tried to yell. She cried and pulled on the shackles around her hooves. She tried to flap her wings, but they were being pulled back by a separate pair of shackles.
"What are you going to do to her!?" Twilight shouted.
"Oh. Well, you'll see. And then it'll be the annoying one's turn." "Whaaaaaaaat? I'm not annoying!" Everypony turned towards her.
"Okay. I can sometimes be annoying." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and flew over to a control panel, pressing a few buttons and powering the machine up.
"Just so you know, what you're about to see will not happen to all of you. Each of you may be killed in the same or different way than another."
"Are you going to give us a lecture?" Applejack said.
"I'm not Twilight. And no, I'm not." Rainbow Dash smiled and pushed a final button before the shackles jerked. The one around Fluttershy's wings pulled and so did the one on her back left hoof. Fluttershy began to cry even more and screamed as one of her wings was torn off her back. Blood began to pour out and it trickled down Fluttershy's body.
"STOP! PLEASE!!!" she screamed. But it didn't.'
The shackle tore Fluttershy's other wing off. As it pulled back, the skin and some flesh peeled off since it wasn't a clean snap. Fluttershy screamed and nearly passed out. Rainbow paused for a bit as one of the pegasi below injected something to keep her wide awake and alert to the torture. The smell of blood had already begun to spread out around the huge room. The pegasus flew back down and Rainbow continued. The left shackle jerked very suddenly and Fluttershy's back left hoof was torn right off. Fluttershy gritted her teeth. Her throat already hurt, and her head too. She couldn't sustain the pain any longer. But whatever that pegasus had injected into her was keeping her from passing out.
P-please. L-let this b-be over a-alread-dy.
The shackles on her right back hoof and front left hoof started pulling away from each other and both hooves began to tear off. Blood poured out of each wound. Fluttershy was losing every sense due to blood loss. Both shackles jerked and tore both hooves out. Fluttershy let out a small squeak, the only sound she could muster up. Now she was hanging by her front right hoof. The shackle opened and dropped the timid pegasus into the machine. It grinded her up, splattering blood and flesh everywhere. The pain was beyond what Fluttershy had just felt. It was enough to make her make the loudest scream anypony had ever heard from her. As the last bits of Fluttershy disappeared into the machine, yellow and red spectra spewed through the tubes and into its coagulated parts.
The four ponies below stared, their mouths agape. They all instantly began to furiously yell and pound at the cage bars.
Dr. Atmosphere flew over to the cage Pinkie was in and was able to confuse Pinkie. He injected something into her body to temporarily numb her so he could get her out.
"Hold the others back while I get this one!" Atmosphere yelled. Two pegasi in the room flew over and went inside, quickly pinning Applejack and Rarity to the floor. The one holding Applejack struggled a bit but managed.
"Alright. Put her on there and we'll begin. But first... Glaze? Do you have it all ready?" "Yes." Glaze said. She rolled over the cart of sharp tools to the table similar to the one from Cupcakes (the fanfic). Pinkie Pie screamed as she was being strapped down.
"SHUT UP, or you're death will be long and painful." Pinkie Pie gave Dash a look of anguish and nodded. Dash rubbed her hooves together.
"Alright. So should we start with the cutie mark? Or with the hair?"
"The hair would be great. Starting out with something more painful than what you did to me in the fanfic."
Damn it, Dash! You weren't supposed to mention that!
Ah, shit. There I go again.
"Th-WHAT?!?!" Pinkie Pie screeched.
"Yes, that's right." Something fell on top of the cages and made a loud clank.
"What the- where did these come from?"
"I don't know why there are chains, but anyway. I put cloths around the cages so they would want to see what you're doing. Raise the suspense." "That REALLY wasn't necessary, but whatever."
Rainbow Dash grabbed something from the cart and turned her attention back to Pinkie Pie.
"This is going to be fun."
She grabbed Pinkie's hair and yanked it up. Pinkie winced as the metal strap around her neck applied pressure and dug into her skin. Rainbow pulled even harder and wrapped Pinkie's hair around the pole. She yanked as hard as she could and tore off a bit of hair along with the flesh around it. Pinkie Pie tried to pull herself back onto the table, but it just caused more hair to rip off. Pinkie Pie stopped as a tear streaked down her cheek. Rainbow Dash pulled Pinkie's hair even harder. Blood ran down Pinkie's neck and onto the table. Pinkie Pie gritted her teeth as tears continued to streak down her face. Rainbow grinned and grabbed a knife. She pulled on Pinkie's hair and swiftly cut her scalp off. Pinkie screamed in agony as her blood streaked down her head.
"Dashie! Stop!" She cried.
"Why should I? This is so much fun."
Rainbow Dash ran the knife down Pinkie's chest. Blood leaked out and she stabbed the knife through Pinkie's stomach and flicked the knife up. A trail of blood followed and Dash tore her open. Pinkie screamed as blood continued to run down her face. Rainbow Dash grabbed a nail and slammed it into Pinkie Pie's cutie mark. Pinkie Pie was losing consciousness but Rainbow injected something into her to keep her awake. She took another nail and took the time to dig it into Pinkie's flank. Pinkie Pie gritted her teeth and prayed for the torture to be over soon.
"D-da-sh... p-please..." "Oh my gosh please stop!" Rainbow mocked. She laughed at her terrible Pinkie Pie impression and at Pinkie.
"Come on! I'm not even halfway done with you and you already want me to stop. Why should I? You didn't stop when I said to stop in th-"
DON'T DO IT AGAIN!!! I'm never gonna stop with that, am I? Just pretend that never happened and don't mention the fanfic again!
"B-but Dashie! You know I would never do that to you!" "Save your excuses. I don't wanna hear them." "But-" Rainbow Dash grabbed another pole and forced Pinkie's mouth open. She shoved it in and broke a tooth. Blood began to spew out and Rainbow cut out her tongue. Pinkie attempted to scream, but only gurgled blood.
"Heh. Have fun gurgling your own blood and swallowing that tooth of yours. With your mouth open." Pinkie Pie pulled on the metal straps, trying to get out, but it was no use. Pinkie turned her head and the blood in her mouth poured onto the table. The tooth came out and Pinkie Pie tried to spit out the rest. Rainbow Dash grabbed one of Pinkie's kidneys and pulled it out. Pinkie was able to scream through the blood still in her mouth.
"Alright. Let's see. We have this part..." Rainbow pointed to Pinkie's insides.
"...We have the face and the hooves. Which one should we do first?" PInkie begged for her to stop, but through the blood still flowing out of her mouth, all anyone heard was gurgles. Rainbow Dash turned around as she heard sobs.
"It's alright, sugarcube. I hope she'll realize what she's doing soon. She'll regret this." Rainbow Dash raised her head and scowled at the cage.
"I know what I'm doing. And I will never regret it." She said. She turned her attention back to Pinkie Pie and grabbed an ax.
"What the... this wasn't here before... whatever." She raised it above her head and slammed it down onto Pinkie's back left hoof. It shattered the bone and hit the table with a loud BANG! Pinkie Pie screamed as blood spewed out of the cut and onto Rainbow Dash and the table.
"Okay. THAT was awesome." She took the ax and slammed it down on the other back hoof. More blood covered the insane pegasus as she dropped the ax on the floor.
"I never thought killing my victims myself was so much more fun!" Rainbow Dash bit a piece of exposed flesh and ripped it off. She punched Pinkie in the stomach and chuckled.
"Dash! Are you INSANE!?" Twilight yelled. She had managed to tear off a bit of the cloth and watch what was happening.
"Of course I am! Why do you think I'm the manager of a pony killing factory?"
"WHAT!?!?" The four other ponies screeched. Pinkie managed to get the rest of the blood out of her mouth but it was now filling up again. Rainbow threw a knife at Rarity and Applejack's cage. It ripped the cloth, went through the cage bars, and nearly hit Rarity. Rarity shrieked and hugged Applejack.
"Now shut up. I gotta finish this bitch here."
Rainbow Dash grabbed Pinkie Pie's head and jerked it up. She spread her wings and hovered above the table, pulling on Pinkie's head. The metal strap dug into the earth pony's skin and blood began to leak out. She kicked the side of Pinkie's face and stomped a hoof on the side of her face. The pole fell out of Pinkie's moth and knocked out two more teeth.
"D-ashie! S-top!" "Why? Give me one good reason!" "I'm your friend!" "YOU ALL BETRAYED ME!!!" Rainbow ripped her other kidney out and shoved it into Pinkie's mouth. Pinkie gagged and attempted to get the oragan out of her mouth.
"Shut up. You talk too much." Pinkie Pie turned her head to the side so she wouldn't have to look at Dash.
"Aw. What's wrong? You want this to end right now? I can do that!" "H-how?" "Would you prefer to be grinded, decapitated, or have your neck snapped?" "WHAT?!?!" Rarity screamed. "Neither! Just let me goooo!" Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and got up in Pinkie's face.
"You said that you wanted it to end now. So tell me, do you want this to end now or go on with the torture?" "I... want it to end now. B-" "How the hell do you want to die?" "..." "Atmosphere? You said you wanted to try a non-pegasus in the device, right?" "Yeah." "Well, this could be our chance. You can't walk so we could just throw you in. That sound good?" "..." "Since you won't answer, I'm taking that as a yes." Rainbow Dash unstrapped Pinkie Pie from the table and yanked the earth pony up. She grabbed her by the head and flew up above the Pegasus Device.
"You can start it, Hide." "But-" "This might be the ONLY time I trust you with this. You know how to operate it."
Dr. Atmosphere nodded and flew down to the control panel. He pressed a few buttons and the machine awoke with a small crunch. Rainbow Dash smiled and looked in Pinkie Pie's eyes for the last time before grabbing her tail and pushing down on her flank as hard as she could. The pink poofy tail disconnected and Pinkie Pie fell into the great maul of the machine. It grinded her up, bone by bone until nothing was left. Rainbow Dash quickly took over at the control panel. Instead of pink spectra, red spectra began to spew out of the hoses. Nopony said a word in a long time.
"Rarity." The broken horn unicorn instantly turned her attention away. "You're next."
"Get her out. And Hide, remove the cloths. They were never necessary in the first place." Two pegasus ponies flew over to Rarity and Applejack's cage and one of them unlocked it. Instantly, two of them zoomed in to hold Applejack down. One of them went in to grab Rarity. She looked for a way to escape but there was none. She attempted to defend herself but failed too when the pegasus dodged her attack and grabbed her from behind. She was dragged to the center of the room and Rainbow Dash landed next to her. The other two pegasi in the cage quickly zoomed out and one of them locked the cage.
"So... I think I have an idea for you. But first- tie her hooves up!" One of the pegasi grabbed a rope from seemingly out of nowhere. The other pegasus held Rarity's hooves together and together, they tied her hooves up. Rainbow gave a disgusted look and shooed the workers away as soon as the finished. Rainbow Dash grabbed the kids she had used for Pinkie Pie and put it back onto the cart. She grabbed another one, sharper, longer, and slightly bigger, and walked back over. Rainbow Dash threw the knife and hit Rarity in the stomach. Rarity struggled to break the ropes. She used as much force as she could and managed to lift a knife off of the cart. She threw it towards Rainbow Dash. It hit Rainbow on the back. Unaffected, she withdrew the knife and held it against Rarity's neck.
"Good try." She inserted the tip into Rarity's neck and flicked it up, leaving behind a trail of blood. She put a hoof to the slash and applied pressure. She threw the knife aside and smiled.
"Do it again. You might be stabbed in the back five times, just like what you and the others did to me." Rarity struggled to break the ropes. She turned onto her side and Rainbow let go.
"Aw. Trying to escape, aren't you? Just like Scootaloo did. But failed to." "Wait. You killed Scootaloo?" Rainbow Dash stayed silent. Nopony moved. Suddenly, Rainbow Dash grabbed a knife and stabbed Rarity on the head. She pushed down on it and withdrew it. She dropped the knife. Rarity tried to stay conscious. But with the hole in her head, it made it difficult.
"Death... is all you horrible ponies deserve at this point. There will be no regrets." She picked the knife back up and with a quick slash, the unicorn's head came off. Twilight screamed in terror and covered the sight. Applejack just sat there in horror.
"RAINBOW DASH!!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!?!" She didn't answer.
"Get Applejack out. I think I know what to do. Twilight. You're next."
"Why...? Why did you do this?" Rainbow Dash looked down at her hooves and answered. "If you hadn't betrayed me... or mentioned Scootaloo... you would all be alive right now. Or still die." Twilight continued to cry. "I guess friendship isn't magic after all." Silence. "Take her out and chain her up." The pegasi did exactly as they were told and Twilight looked at her former friend.
"I know you will regret this." "I promise you. I won't." The machine started up. Twilight looked back down and saw the great maul of the machine.
"You and the others were my friends. You decided to betray me. You know I don't take betrayal well. I have been loyal to this factory since that Sonic Rainboom that gave you your cutie marks. And now, years later, you have finally betrayed me. You also decided to annoy me. I will not accept this." Twilight sighed. She knew she was partially right. But she was also wrong.
"Friends... don't betray friends. Friends don't kill friends." "We're not friends." "I... I know you killed Scootaloo now. and sisters don't kill sisters, even adopted ones." "She..." Rainbow Dash looked up at Twilight. "She failed me." "But..." Twilight sighed and let a final tear drop before looking up with a smile on her face. She stared into those rose eyes. The only part of her friend that Twilight still recognized.
"Please forgive us. And I hope we'll meet again above." Rainbow Dash growled and motioned for Hide to start lowering Twilight. The shackles opened and dropped Twilight in.
"I'm sorry..." Were the princesses last words before she disappeared and purple spectra spewed out of the tubes. Rainbow Dash stood there for a few more seconds before turning around and walking out of the room.
"Stop!" She cried, slamming her hooves onto the ground. Memories and flashbacks began going through her head. The time she first met Twilight. When they defeated Nightmare Moon. When they saved Equestria from eternal chaos. Then there was something that stuck out to her. Mare Do Well. She had let her ego get the better of her. Her friends had just tried to help. They weren't trying to steal her fame or anything. Sure, it felt like five stabs in the back. But if it weren't for them, she might have gotten herself and somepony else in danger. Or even hurt. Rainbow Dash cringed at the final thought. She and the pony she would be trying to save might've died. She never thought she would cringe at death.
"Dash? Are you-" "GO AWAY!!!" she yelled. Rainbow could tell Atmosphere was still outside the door. Finally, he left.
"I..." She took a deep breath. "I'm sorry guys. I-I went too far, didn't I." She found the picture of her and her friends on the floor. She went over and picked it up. There was a crack directly on top of all her friends. She was the only one left. The pegasus picked up a shard of glass.
"You wanted to meet me above?" she said, looking up. "I know you may never forgive me, but... I want to see you again." Smiling, she looked at her office one last time. And that... was the last thing she ever saw.
