CHAPTER EIGHT: Rainbow Factory

I was standing in the throne room, King Horus, Princess Celestia, Luna, The Gang, and The Mane Six all had come together. I hid behind a wall, making sure they couldn't hear me.

“The wedding wasn't supposed to happen! Now he will only grow more attached to her every day. I fear that it may be too hard for him when the time comes. The very thing that revived him, would be his end.”

“I'm honestly happy for him, he loves her, and she loves him. She is innocent in all of this, but she's slowly getting more involved as time goes on.”

“Then what shall we do?”

“Just wait for the time to come, and pray that he will come peacefully.”

I woke up in my bed, that was a weird dream, it felt so real... but what did they mean that the wedding wasn't supposed to happen? I don't get it, but I got up and stretched, yawning. I saw Silvermoon, still asleep right next to me. I smiled at stroked her head, she smiled and opened her eyes at me.

“Good morning.” I said, forgetting all about the dream.

“Hey,” Silvermoon said, her eyes full of tired.

“We had a good time last night, didn't we?” I said.

“Yeah...” Silvermoon closed her eyes and went back to sleep. I got up and made myself some breakfast.

HAY BACONSTRIPS, HAY BACONSTRIPS, HAY BACONSTRIPS, HAY BACONSTRIPS.

Aack! Please! Not while I'm tired...

El Problemo?

Will you quit saying that!

I haven't said that in so long!

Please, both of you... SHUT UP! I'm tired.

I ate my breakfast, and went down to read a book that Twilight, of course, had given me as a wedding present. Parenting, how predictable. I was probably going to need to read it anyway. I read for a bit until Silvermoon walked into the room.

“Finally up huh sleepy head?” I cooed. Silvermoon picked up a pillow and playfully threw it at me.

“I have no idea how long I've been asleep, get outta the house!” Silvermoon joked at me. I got up, put the book away and kissed her.

“If you say your highness.” I bowed.

“I'm gonna get you for that!” Silvermoon hissed, punching me on the shoulder. I grinned as I made my way out, I needed to get out. I looked up and saw something up in the sky, it left a small trail of... rainbow behind it. I flew up, making sure not to be noticed.

It might be Rainbow Dash, we haven't talked to her in a bit.

She looks like she's worried. Just follow her.

It could be personal...

We could still help. We're trustworthy!

You THINK we're trustworthy.

I followed RD as she flew higher and higher into the air. We breached the clouds, I saw something gray, it looked odd. I made sure to stay my distance, when I felt like I had gotten close enough, I stopped and watched as Rainbow Dash entered a large gray... building?

I don't like this... Let's keep going!

When I knew Rainbow Dash was inside, I made my way and opened the doors. I looked around and saw nothing but pegasi, all of them wearing white lab coats. Some of them stained with blood. What is this place?! I casted an invisibility spell on myself and made my way through the factory. I saw Rainbow Dash enter a room labeled RF-132. I slipped in before the door closed. My mouth opened in horror.

OH... MY... GOD... This is worse then all of the Saw traps combined into one!

I think I'm going to throw up...

What I saw before me was a massive machine type thing, it had claw like arms, it held a small orange filly... Scootaloo! What is she doing here?! The machine fired up, Scootaloo screamed as she was broken and battered as the machine crushed and streched her. Blood sprayed everywhere as she was broken in half. I gagged, what is happening?! I had to get somepony to help me! I then realized the spell had gone out, I was completely visable... and worse of all, Rainbow Dash saw me!

“GET HIM!” She barked at the others, they all charged at me.

I blasted all of them back, knocking them out. Rainbow Dash charged at me head on, she had caught me off guard and smashed her head into my chest, sending me back. I caught myself and fired more shots at her. She dodged all of them, more ponies broke in and began to attack me. I fought them off, one sneaked up behind me and wrapped his hooves around my neck and began to choke me. I gagged and gasped for breath as I struggled, more and more the ponies came and jumped on me like I was in a football game.

“NOT TODAY! NOT EVER!” I blasted all of the pegasus off me with one massive blow. Sending them through the walls.

“How did you find this place?!” Rainbow Dash roared.

“You looked scared, I followed you!” I said. The machine had stopped and began pouring Scootaloo's remains into some type of other machine below the other.

“What is this place?!” I asked. Rainbow Dash looked at me furiously. I had to know!

“You will never find out!” She charged at me again, I levitated her and threw it against the machine, sparks flew out and I heard a sickening crack as Rainbow Dash's wing broke against the hard steel of the machine. I felt myself tense.

“Nowhere to run now...” I said as I stepped over to face Rainbow Dace, who was cradling her broken wings.

“You wouldn't kill me...” She hissed at me and spit at my face. I wiped it off.

“You're coming with me, like it or not. This place is coming with me as well.” I said.

“How do you plan to do that?” Rainbow Dash hissed.

“Like this.” I answered, stomping her face with my hoof, knocking her out. I began to channel magic, I felt my head get a terrible pain as I attempted to not only transport me and Rainbow Dash, but the entire factory to King Horus. The sky filled with a blinding light, making all of Equestria shield their eyes at the blinding light. I did it! I had transported the entire factory to the castle. It floated over the highest top of Canterlot Castle. I teleported me and Rainbow Dash down to King Horus.

“What the hell happened?!” He said as he looked and saw my blood splattered body, and an unconcious Rainbow Dashing, bleeding from the wing, knocked out on the ground.

“Follow me, I have something to show you.” I said, I beckoned him forward. I faced the guards.

“Do NOT let her leave if she wakes up, we will return soon.” I said, I spread my wings at the same time King Horus did, and we sped forward to the massive factory.
