9/11/3072 10:00 PM Somewhere below Canterlot Castle

            Rainbow Dash, or what used to be Rainbow Dash, rose from the darkness in a dank, dimly lit room. The only light source was from a flickering light bulb attached to the wall on the far side of the room, away from the door. She rose, supporting herself by placing her hooves against the wall. Her knees where a bit wobbly, but that is to be expected, after all, being turned into a cyborg isn't exactly easy on the body. As her shiny new chrome plating and brass gears rose you could hear them groaning and creeping, twisting and turning, like one of those old fortune telling automatons you used to see at the local carnival.

            She finally got on her hooves, her knees still shaking ever so slightly. She adjusted her eye, making the metallic whirring sound you would expect as she focused in on the door. No sound was emitting from outside nor, as far as she could tell, any light. She paced around slowly, still trying to get the feel for her new, cyborg hooves. She sauntered slowly over to the door and pulled meekly on the handle but, as was to be expected, the door didn't budge. She tugged again at the old, metal handle, with even more force than last time. Still the door would not move. She tried again and again and again until finally...

WHIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRR

         She felt her vision her lock on, her reflexes heighten, and strength surge through her. She turned and slammed into the door with a force and ferocity only a pony turned machine could have The door flew outwards, slamming into the opposite wall, snapping it in two and sending up a cloud of dust. She pushed herself to her hooves, her adrenaline still pumping. She started sprinting down the hall at top-speed... that is until she remembered....

"Wings..."

          She peered behind her and was met with an astounding sight, Out of her back jutted a pair of huge, metal wings which clanked and groaned with their many small gears. They felt strong, they felt stronger than her old wings, even when they were in top, performing condition. She began to flap her new wings, slowly at first, making a nice woosh noise. The she started flapping them faster and faster until it was like a pair of insect wings on her, moving faster than you could even see. She smiled, grinning at that taste in her mouth, she could feel it, she could feel the speed.

         Faster and faster she raced down the hallway, kicking up dust and tearing up pieces of the tiled floor. \ As she approached the end of the hallway she began to notice an all to familiar cone.

"Hear we go!"

         The cone grew more and more narrow with each passing second, coming closer and closer to that perfect angle when suddenly

BOOM

        She reached the end of the hallway and smashed through the wall, a magnificent Rainbow trailing behind her. As the dust settled she noticed the team of scientists standing around in awe and terror at the cyborg who had just opened a hole in their reinforced, steel walls.

"Oh Bravo Ms. Dash Bravo!"

"You..." Rainbow whispered

"Oh, it's me alright" Celestia said "And it looks like we had a slight... error... in removing your memory..."

"Sorry Princess, it seems that I made a slight miscalculation in the equation and I f-" one of the scientist said before being abruptly cut off by an arching beam of magic.

"AUGGH!" the scientist screamed "PRINCESS! HELP ME! OH GOD IT HURTS! IT HURTS!"

"THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR FAILING ME" Celestia shouted

      The scientist continued to scream, writhing in pain upon the tile floor of the lab. He started foaming at the mouth and coughing up blood until finally, after one final piercing scream, his back arched and his eyes went dark.

"That should be a lesson to you all" Celestia said "Now get to work removing Ms. Dash's memory, for good this time"

"Yes, your highness!"

      A team of highly armed security personal walked up and two of them began dragging her over to the medical table by her wings.

"Hey! Let go! LET GO!" Rainbow shouted

"Sorry Ma'am, Princess' orders..." one of the guards said in a monotone voice

      They threw her onto the table where a team of scientists immediately surrounded her.

"Lets sedate her more quickly this time, don't want her struggling like last time" one of the scientists said.

"Here's the syringe Doc" one of the other ponies said, handing her a large syringe

     Wasting no time the Scientist tapped the glass a few times and then plunged it into Rainbows arm.

"Not again..." Rainbow said, barely audible "Oh god... not again..."
