The three all turned, and looked at the big room they had been lead too. It was fairly open and empty, almost like an theater room. At one end of the room, there were six square vats, each one nearly full with individual Spectra. Above them was a peculiar looking machine. From a central stack, six hoses broke off and lead above each of the individual vats. At the haut, retour au début of the stack was a single opening, red with rust despite the rest of the machine to be shiny and clean. Even further above that was a fairly complex looking object, with chains and gears hanging off of beams and pipes loosely. Running even higher than the whole machine was a length of scaffolding, with doors on either side leading out of the room. Down on the floor, a small collection of defeated, crying ponies sat, chatting quietly.

SCOOTALOO: Those Suits – Avocats sur Mesure there, those are from that other flight school across town.

ORION: *Sadly* So... this is where all the failures go? Not deported, but forced to work forever?

Scootaloo placed a comforting hoof onto his shoulder.

SCOOTALOO: At least we don’t have to go through it alone

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the group of ex-students. One poney from an unidentified school took off, headed towards one of the doors on the scaffolding. Immediately, two suited ponies launched at record speed and both clipped the fly-away with their tasers. The poney spasmed in air, and then dropped like a stone. With an audible crack as he landed, and a violent burst of twitching, all the other ponies walked back, staring horrified at their friend. They watched, hopefully, for a long time. He didn’t move. Some cried softly, most others turned away, too far confused to feel any plus emotions.

AURORA: Guess that opinion is out.

MASKED WORKER: par now, you’ve all clearly determined that toi are not going into exile. There is no deportation. There never was. toi are in The Factory. toi will never leave The Factory. And while toi may be called useless, that’s also not entirely true. You’re worthless to The Flock as a Pony. But toi still have purpose.. Purpose to all the ponies in this land, far and wide. toi get to help us make rainbows! Beautiful, magical rainbows, doesn’t that excite you?

ORION: Making rainbows. That's not so bad.

MASKED WORKER: toi ARE the rainbows!

ORION: Wow.. That's so sweet of you.

All the scared ponies, brighten up for the moment, thinking this was just a compliment.

MASKED WORKER: NO! This isn't a compliment! It means your all going to DIE!

All the ponies instantly get scared again.

PONY: WHAT!?

MASKED WORKER: I'll explain... A thousand years ago, when Celestia banished Luna from Equestria and sent her to the moon, she was charged with three tasks. She originally was in charge of raising the sun, and showering the land with rainbows. But, with the moon being an additional task, she had to hand down the responsibility of rainbows. Celestia entrusted the Pegasi of Cloudsdale to make the rainbows for her from them on. For the first dozen years, we were donné powerful licornes to help create Spectra. Spectra is pure pigment, pure color. Everything is full of Spectra, but toi can’t just harvest it. toi can never separate color from an object. So it was made artificially with magic... That is, until our haut, retour au début engineers made a breakthrough. They discovered an ingenious way to extract pigment, and it was so beautiful even a simple machine could do it. But it couldn’t be done with just anything. The conditions had to be right.

rose PONY: What did those horrible ponies do!?

The masked worker removes the mask, to everyone's shock, to be arc en ciel Dash.

All the ponies began whispering to each other, saying 'is that arc en ciel Dash?' and stuff like that, to each other.

SCOTALOO: Dashie!?

ORION: Swag

RAINBOW: It had to be live ponies! Only in ponies, where magic and Spectra ran freely together!” arc en ciel Dash threw her head back and laughed maniacally. “Only then could the Spectra be separated! And it was such a beautiful idea, such a wonderfully horrible idea. It worked so well; we could create exponentially plus rainbows, of better quality with real Spectra. And it finally gave us a way to prevent Cloudsdale from being tainted par all those horrible pegasus which couldn’t fly! Ahahahah! *begins laughing uncontrollably*

Scootaloo couldn't take it anymore.

SCOOTALOO: I THOUGHT toi LOVED ME!

arc en ciel stopped her laughter and looked at the angry Pegasus.

SCOOTALOO: I can't believe after all these years, your just going to let me fuckin die! *tearing up* I thought I was your little Scoot!?

RAINBOW: toi WERE my little Scoot.. I DID l’amour you... I tried so hard for you! I taught toi everything I knew, in hopes toi would pass your test! toi had it in you, kid! I knew... I knew what they did here. Ever since I performed that Sonic Rainboom, and they approached me. I promised them to help the tradition of turning ponies into rainbows.

SCOOTALOO: toi did?

RAINBOW: Something like that.

(FLASHBACK:

arc en ciel Dash flies into the factory after being hired for the job.

OLD MANAGER: Alright mame. I'm leaving everything to you.

RAINBOW: Alright. I'll turn worthless test failures into rainbows, like in tradition.

OLD MANGER: NO! We don't do that anymore... Seriously. toi can't turn them into rainbows.

RAINBOW: *as if feeling challanged* FUCK toi I CAN'T TURN THEM INTO RAINBOWS!

PRESENT TIME:)

RAINBOW: But in any case.I tried, alright! It was up to toi to save yourself! toi didn’t just fail yourself. toi didn’t just fail Cloudsdale. toi failed me! And that’s the worst thing toi could have done. toi aren’t just dead to Cloudsdale, now. *screaming* You’re dead to me! I FUCKIN HATE YOU! *punches Scootaloo in the face, in anger, and Aurora and Orion catch her, as she tries as hard as she can not to burst into tears in front of everyone*

Seeing the hit, and harshness of Rainbow's words, made everyone gasp, mostly in sorrow for Scootaloo.

RAINBOW: *angrily* I HATE toi SCOOTALOO! YOUR FUCKIN NOTHING!

Scootaloo finally breaks down.

SCOOTALOO: I.. I can't believe it! arc en ciel Dash is going to kill me.. ME! Her little Scoot!

ORION: Well what do toi expect from Ashleigh Ball

RAINBOW: What did toi say!

ORION: I'm sorry. I was just never a fan of her..

RAINBOW: Screw you!.. Guards!.. Him first!

ORION: WHAT!? *being dragged to and strapped onto the pegasus device* It was just a comment. Can't a man have an opinion!?

RAINBOW: Get ready to die!

ORION: Oh I l’amour that song.

RAINBOW: Don't we all. *turns on Pegasus device*

Orion began feeling intense pain all over, making him give high pitched female screams.

RAINBOW: *too other ponies watching in horror* We find it works best when the ribs are broken

The divice began painfully smashing Orion's ribcages.

ORION: I'm not saying I LIKE pain! But I'm saying I DON'T either!

Scootaloo watched in horror, with her orange hooves over her shocked mouth.

RAINBOW: *off view* plus power!

Orion containues screaming the whole way through.

AURORA: *Approaches Scootaloo who still had her hooves covering mough* I'm sure this is just a big prank. And that Orion is just playing along and is still in one piece.

RAINBOW: *off view* NO! THAT'S TOO MUCH POWER!

For a unknown reason, Orion suddenly exploded and blood splattered all over, certain amounts landing on Scootaloo who screamed horribly at the sight.

AURORA: ou pieces.

SCOOTALOO: *sobbing* OH GOD! ORION!

AURORA: Well we always agreed he had a broken personality *nervous laugh*

Scootaloo contained crying.

SCOOTALOO: We're all going to die! Just like Orion!

AURORA: No were not.. I gotta plan.


Well that's the end of the chapter.
