Vinyl...Why?

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Rainbow Dash felt herself slowly regaining her consciousness and felt herself on a flat surface, definitely not a bed for sure. " How is she?" A she heard man's voice. She quickly opened her eyes seeing she was now inside of a cell. Her sword was gone, but what they didn't know was that she could summon it back anytime she wished, but she decided on eavesdropping on what the cyborgs were saying.

" She's still unconscious. Hopefully enough till Raven Blood brainwashes her. We need a monster like her. If this works than she'll be our replacement for Vinyl." Another man's voice answered. Rainbow Dash tilted her head at this, but continued listening.

" I believe if we fail, Raven Blood will just dispose of her and we'll keep Vinyl Pon3. She didn't even need the brainwashing and she's only here for her savior of that new body." Rainbow Dash took note of that which seemed a bit odd to her. But it was enough of listening, she was ready to break out. She held her hand out but nothing came. " Crap. Did they take that ability away?" She thought. She finally noticed her hands had claws which was close enough for tearing and luckily they never found out about the chip in her cutie mark. Rainbow colored electricity surged in her arms which really gave her an idea. Her visors covered her eyes again giving her the view of where he enemies were. Just right next to the door and it appeared that the door was capable of opening out instead of in. She got in position for a ram and charged towards the door. As she broke through it felt as if the world slowed down on her action as she had the door in her grasp and was about to slam it against the guards before hearing one unfinished phase. " OOOOOH SSHHH-" Before getting the door slammed onto them.

Rainbow Dash turned towards the readers, " Sorry everyone can't have that kinda language in this story. Now this is my first and last time I'll break the forth wall like Pinkie Pie so enjoy it while it last." She told them cheerfully. Suddenly an alarm went off which stopped her. " Gotta go." She told herself, but not before getting her weapon back. She took off in any direction taking note to be in some kind of special facility just for her.

" WARNING! SUBJECT HAS ESCAPED PRISON!" A computerized voice shouted. That already annoyed her. But now she had to face more cyborgs armed with electric batons. She got into a fighting stance knowing no way out of this. They all charged at her not knowing she had a surprise for them. " Here!" She threw a large rainbow colored star which sucked them in and blew the wave back, after that it began closing in with them still in it. " Now I gotta recharge." She spat in dismay. She walked the rest of the way with the alarm still going on. She went in nearly every room which was cleared out since the alarm. She went into offices, weapon development which she was nearly interested till she remembered hers. She was now inside a main engine. " I'm in a ship?" She thought as she looked at the engine. " I guess it wouldn't hurt seeing one get blown sky high." She said with a shrug. She walked to the main engine which seemed extremely big which made her wonder how big it actually was. But she'd find out once she flies out. She was about to produce a remote bomb from her wrist until she heard a familiar voice tell her to hold it. " If it isn't the little traitor." Rainbow Dash guessed with her eyes glowing red as fast as it came as she turned to see Vinyl yet again.

" Ya know. It never get's old for me to always see you. What is old is that I'm always beating you up." Vinyl sighed. Rainbow Dash grinned evilly as her eyes were red fully now.

" Really? If I remember correctly Raven Blood made you retreat, you want to know why? Because he even knew you'd die. But, I have one question to ask before I send your scrap of a body ten thousand feet from the ground."  Vinyl Scratch leaned in although she was still in a far distance, but just to let her know she was listening. " What favor did you have to pay that stallion? I know there is some reason why you are doing this." Rainbow Dash asked.

Vinyl's visors revealed her eyes again so that the two red eyed Equestrians really looked at one another. " Did it ever come to you, that you never saw me and Octavia anymore after Nightmare Moon?" She asked. Rainbow Dash shook her head since she hardly ever saw her, but still happened to hear her loud music at night all the way in the air. " Just like you, we both protected and lost a few body parts. My mission was to kill Twilight or capture. But from seeing you...he wanted me to make you suffer so you'd know what I went through. What difference do you see from 2 years to now?" She asked.

" Your full of it. That's one." Rainbow Dash grumbled. However when she looked at Vinyl's head she noticed no horn. Her body which was the obvious was mechanical.  " You lost your horn!" That shock made Rainbow Dash's red eyes turn back into its magenta color. Vinyl nodded.

" That's not all. Remember every last event when Luna was corrupted? I tried to protect who I loved and failed miserably. I'm shocked at why I wasn't left for dead right next to my best friend. I lost my horn which gave me a large gash on my face from it cutting me. I lost my arm when a XII bit it off roughly. My legs were broken. Outrageous right and guess who it was that gave me a second chance in life. Heck, he even said with enough resources and research he can reanimate her." Vinyl explained. Rainbow Dash's eyes widened at this. She even had tears coming from her eyes from hearing her failure of a friend. She shook her head though as her eyes gone red now.

" Your bat hay insane!!!" She yelled. Suddenly a door was heard and guard were rushing in towards her. She took note of one of them having her sword in their grasp. She didn't even bother reacting to dodge. Instead one blade pierced her chest, another straight through her stomach and she felt pain, but the real Rainbow Dash felt something...evil within her soul finally snap which felt like it's been in her for years. She let out a laugh which made the cyborgs gasp in shock.

" I'M BACK!!!" She yelled out as she grabbed one of their heads and began to squeeze it to the point it'll break and it did like his head just exploded. Next she yanked one of the swords out from her body and sliced the other half straight down the middle. She went for the other sword and yanked that out as well with blood spewing out and dripping from the blades. One of them was her rainbow colored blade as the other was silver. " Who's next?" She asked with a smirk.

" Look who's talking calling me insane." Vinyl told her with a smile. " Let me guess. A dark persona given by Nightmare Moon?"

" One and only. Dash the Ripper. Wanna know why she named me that?" Rainbow Dash asked. " I'll rip my prey into shreds in five seconds flat than eat you in another five. And your my first victim." Suddenly Rainbow Dash felt a headache coming in which made her turn back into normal in a matter of seconds. She was breathing than it turned into hyperventilating. Was she becoming a monster? She was completely fine in the last two years till she's now a cyborg pegasus and now having this monster within her.

" Ah. So it's split personality. I don't have that. So you are strictly insane Dash the Ripper." Vinyl ended up bending back a bit to evade an attempt for Rainbow Dash to decapitate her. The fail attempt staggered the pegasus forward into Vinyl's claws through her chest. She winced. " I wanna see that state again. Your too weak Rainbow." Vinyl insulted. She turned to rest of the cyborgs and told them she'd finish this. They left without question and next move was very swift. She kicked Rainbow Dash against the engine and grabbed her by her neck with her claws out. " Lucky for you Raven Blood said that magnetic enhancement wasn't my style which was a shame. But I find it better to kill you up in person." She reeled her claws back ready to impale her face only for a rainbow colored orb aimed at her chest within Rainbow Dash's hand.

Rainbow Dash pressed it hard against her body which was enough force to send Vinyl flying and break through the wall structure and outside, falling. Rainbow Dash thought she'd just fall to her death till suddenly someone from below her grabbed her by her hair and sent her all the way to the top of the ship and slam her down next to the hole that was made. It was raining heavily which got all over her face while the figure on top of her had the left side of it's hair cover her left eye. Vinyl. Again.

" You just don't know when you want to die!" Rainbow Dash yelled to her. She kicked the multi-blue haired Equestrian over her and had her rainbow sword ready ( her other sword was lost from the sudden sneak attack.) " If you want a round 3 than I'm game since we didn't finish the second and the rain motivates me." Vinyl stood up with her red claws at ready and smiled as her visors covered her eyes once again. The same with Rainbow Dash as one waited for the other to attack.

Soundtrack: Stains of Time ( instrumental)

" Now, now. Don't be shy." Vinyl taunted. Rainbow didn't fall for it which forced Vinyl to dash at her and grabbed her by the head slamming her into the metal structure they were standing on. It was even strong enough for the Pegasus to be bleed already from the back of her head. " Come on Dash. Release." Vinyl provoked. The rainbow color haired cyborg slowly stood up to her feet and attempted a slice across Vinyl's chest which was knocked away by her claws. " Try again." Vinyl told her mockingly.

" SHUT UP!!!" Rainbow Dash screamed which suddenly erupted a soundwave blasting Vinyl away near the edge of the ship. However Rainbow didn't let it happen as she wrapped her hand around the DJ's throat and threw behind her. While Vinyl was still on the ground Rainbow Dash's sword scrapped the metal while she was running and when she attempted to impale her, Vinyl rolled out the way and used both her claws to try and attack. She blocked and pushed her back leaving her open for any attack. With this opportunity she rapidly swiped her blade everywhere on Vinyl's chest making blood spews and electricity build on her blade till she finally ended it with a slice from below striking Vinyl from the stomach up to cracking and breaking one of the lens on her visors revealing her eye. Not only that, but Vinyl gained a small cut under her eye.

" Now this is a fight." She said with a smile. She made her claws touch each other twice making them erupt in red surges. " My turn now." As she ran at the Pegasus. " One mistake your people made in your enhancements." She said, gazing at Rainbow Dash's organic wing. However she saw this coming and grabbed Vinyl's wrist and threw her over her.

" Ole!" Rainbow Dash said jokingly. Vinyl used her claws to stop herself from sliding any further and ran at Rainbow Dash again only with a slight trick up her sleeve. Rainbow Dash was about to making another grab for Vinyl till suddenly she vanished out of thin air. " What?" Rainbow Dash was stunned at seeing this.

" It's over." She heard Vinyl behind her. Next thing Rainbow Dash knew, for a second time she had lost a limb. Her arm this time. " Don't mess with this DJ!" Vinyl kicked the pegasus back which lead her off the edge and falling with a lost arm. " Silly that I'm just too strong against you. Your suppose to be fast." She heard Vinyl say before being out of view.

" Well, that takes care of that." Vinyl told herself as she was about to leave before she was suddenly grabbed by someone and thrown off to the other side like a football. She landed hard which made her bounce twice before the figure grabbed her again by her hair and turned her around to face...Raven Blood. " You idiot!" He yelled as her threw down again then stomped on her back when she landed. " Instead of killing her, we could of brainwashed her then-" He was cut off.

" Throw me away?" That statement made Raven Blood's eyes widen.

" What! NO! It would make our army stronger than ever. With you two as our aces we will kill Celestia and-" Raven Blood covered his mouth at spilling the beans on that which made Vinyl gasp.

" Kill Celestia? I thought you were just gonna sabotage Twilight's little nomination than after this you'd give Tavi back to me." Vinyl said. This made Raven Blood sigh as he kicked Vinyl away. Vinyl found herself bleeding a bit on the right side of her face like something cut her.

" Alright, Vinyl Pon3. The truth than." Raven Blood took a deep breath before beginning. " It's true I was gonna kill Celestia and my cause has been unknown to you for a reason. Your new body would be enough to take out my army if you and Rainbow Dash were to work together. But, I bet your gonna ask why you wanted me injure her and not kill her? Well, I was gonna throw you away since Rainbow Dash possesses a dark persona which you don't possess. With it she'd tear everything apart in her little phase, ten seconds flat. If she were to kill Celestia and all her friends with it than my reign over Equestria will spread and I'll bring war over Changelings and Gryphons which they'd have no chance against us. Not even Discord or Sombra would stand a chance since I have a little weapon of my own." Raven Blood explained.

" And that would be?" Vinyl said with a quizzical . Raven Blood removed his cast which revealed his other arm to be made out of some kind of black harden material. Suddenly it began to expand up to his chest which made his shirt rip.

" Nanomachines, little girl." Raven Blood answered. " They harden in response to physical and magically trauma." To prove his point he punched the ground making a hole in the metal structure. " Come on!" He challenged. Vinyl looked a bit intimidated at this, he was invincible was a more simpler term for what he said. However she didn't waver and had her claws ready.

" Okay...Let's do this." She said.

Lightning strikes

She ran at him and thrust her one of her claws only for sparks to be made and slide right off and her to get punched hard across the jaw. She merely staggered back and held her jaw making sure it wasn't broken. " Man. That did hurt, a little." Vinyl said. " Is that all you got!" She provoked. She shouldn't of done that. " AHHH!" She screamed as she thrown up high in the air and her back landing on Raven Blood's knee than was punched off.

" Try again!" Raven Blood taunted. Vinyl began to stand up before Raven Blood did a high kick to her face completely breaking her visors now her eyes were fully shown, red as the blood on her face. She was still standing allowing Raven Blood to grab her by her head. She felt herself helpless already since his grasp was so strong that it could end her life already. " NO!!!" She yelled as her claws were now surrounded by a surge of electricity and by touching the stallion he was electrocuted and staggered back. She was now released and was now aiming  one of her claws at his chest while the other was about to slice off his arm. She began thinking back to her and Octavia's previous events as time seemed to slow around this. Basically all the things she has said.

" Vinyl your skills are nearly a bit better than mine,"

" Vinyl do you always have to be so...uh, stupid?"

A lot more was said before finally she snapped out it as she impaled Raven Blood which stunned him and gave him a shocked expression as she was able to cut off his arm. She placed both her feet on his chest as she kicked herself off of him and yanking her claws out. " Impossible!" He shouted looking at his arm and clutched the wound she gave him.

" What? You were the one boasting that you was-" Next thing she knew was suddenly her arm getting sliced off when she saw Raven Blood's chopped arm hardened into a blade. That wasn't all either he tackled her with a lariat so strong it knocked her off the ship, but her rocket boots were the only reason she was still not falling. " Still alive huh?" Raven Blood's voice got her ready, except for having a missile thrown like a football towards her. As it struck her and exploded on impact she was unconscious while falling. However she feared of what Octavia would say to her in the afterlife for something this stupid.

" Vinyl...why?"
