Author's notes

Thank you for picking my story. I read Rainbow Factory, then watched the song on YouTube. I've had this stuck in my head for a while, and it would be nice as a different ending. This is an alternative ending. Enjoy reading bronies and pegasisters!

Scootaloo ran. Through the dullened corridor. She didn't care where she was going, just as long as she was as far away from her.

Chains still clutched to her hooves, clashing as she ran for her life.

Dried and fresh blood stained her coat, feathers and hair. Various cuts, scars and bruises coated her body. Especially, were the chains cut into her skin.

Every step. Every movement. Every breath. Hurt like hell.

But what hurt the most, wasn't the cuts or broken bones. It was her broken heart. Cracked due to the fact that the one she loved the most, the one she looked up to, had turned her back on her. Turned evil. Has a lust to kill and a taste for unfortunate's blood.

"Mmmhehehe! Oh Scootaloo! Don't you want a hug? To play? Ooo! What about another lesson? A lesson in murder!" Rainbow Dash taunted as she flew closer to Scootaloo.

Scootaloo didn't reply. She didn't want to reply. She just ran.

That was until she was abrubtly stopped as Rainbow landed in front of her.

Her beautiful cyan wings fluttered slowly and gently. It was a shame that now, the were covered in foal's blood, and her own as Scootaloo attacked her earlier to escape.

She wore a long white lab coat, that was obviously too large for her. But now it was stained with blood. Same with her hair, feathers and coat. Her usually magneta eyes were now a deep scarlet red.

"Come on Scootaloo. Don't you love rainbows? Everypony loves rainbows! We need to make lots of rainbows for everypony to enjoy. Without them, everyone would be saddy waddy. You wouldn't want that, would you?" She walked closer to Scootaloo, with a menacing gleam in her eye and an evil smirk.

Scootaloo frantically searched around her. Anything to protect her with. Feathers? No. Smashed goggles? No. Sharp, jagged piece of metal? Yes.

She instantly grabbed it and thrashed it at Rainbow.

"GAAH!" Rainbow staggered back.

The right side of her face began to bleed.

"Ahhh! YOU LITTLE BITCH!" She yelled as she collapsed to the ground.

Scootaloo saw a door. The fire exit. She placed the bloodied metal in her mouth and ran.

She burst out of the building and leapt onto the fresh cloud outside.

Blinding sunlight shone at her.

She carelessly ran around and jumped off. She spread out her wings.

She fell.

Ideas flashed through her mind, as she furiously flapped her wings. Loose feathers spluttered out around her.

"Remember. Let your wings be free. Like your mind. Like your heart."

Memorizing Rainbow's words from last week, she stopped flapping and glided.

However, the pain from her broken wing and throbbing skull overpowered her. And she fell unconscious.

Leaving her plummeting to the ground. To her death.

Meanwhile, off in the distance, a gleaming gold chariot, sat two alicorn mares.

One was white with green, pink and blue flowing hair. She was also taller than the other one.

The second alicorn was a dark musky blue. Her midnight blue hair flowed, like her sister's, but sparkled like the stars in the night.

They were obviously, the rulers of Equestria. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.

They were heading to Ponyville.

Twilight Sparkle's home to be precise.

Apparently, Twilight has noticed ponies disappearing. Also, she stated Rainbow's unusual behaviour.

But what really got their attention, was that she wrote that foals have been disappearing. Pegasi foals. She also put down that Pinkie Pie had a crazy idea, that she had pony-napped ponies, drugged them, tied them to a table under Sugarcube Corner, tortures them, mutilates them and turns them into cupcakes.

Fortunately, Pinkie had made this up. As well to be sure, Twilight inspected the basement of Sugarcube Corner and found nothing. (Thank Celestia!) Only flour, sugar, boxes and Mr. Cakes special cola. Which Pinkie 'borrowed' for parties.

As they neared Ponyville, Luna spotted an orange and fushia speck.

It only took a split second for Luna to realise that it was a foal. A foal falling to the earth.

She immediately leapt out of the chariot and zoomed towards the filly.

Scootaloo opened her eyes. The ground. And it was coming up quick.

With the metal still clamped in her mouth, she attempted to flap her wings.

But only muffled a cry in pain.

Suddenly, she stopped falling. She felt warm.

She glanced up to see the worried face of Luna.

"Don't worry, young one. You're safe now." She soothed.

Luna noted that the filly was injured.

She carefully flew back to the chariot.

"Sister! What in Equestria were yo-" Celestia stopped as she recognised the bleeding filly. "Scootaloo?"

But Scootaloo was asleep in Luna's fore legs.

"Let her sleep Tia. We shall aid and tend to her injuries at Twilight's. We will ask questions when she is awake and ready. But first, let her rest." Luna stroked Scootaloo's mane as the chariot headed to Ponyville- again.

Luna levitated the metal placed next to Celestia.

"What happened to you Scootaloo?" Luna whispered.

"We don't know. But we need to find Rainbow Dash. She surely would be concerned." Celestia said.

"Yes. I just wish that she will be okay."

"She will be, Luna."

Little did they know, that a certain rainbow named pegasus watched as the chariot landed in Ponyville.

"Hmmm. Seems like we're going to have some vistors soon. I hope they like to make some rainbows. 'Cause they're the special ingredient! Muhahahaha!"

"Ma'am? We no longer have any foals to put in the machine." A grey pegasus stallion approached Rainbow.

"Don't worry. We will have a 'delivery' later. Get the cloroform ready." She walked back inside, followed by the stallion.

"Just you wait Scootaloo. You'll be gone by tomorrow night. Just you wait. Hahahahaha!" She cackled as it echoed through the corridor.
