Loki - Rebirth of Deception

Loki was deadly tired. It was day after they returned from human world and because of that last nightmare, he slept only for about hour.

„I have to somehow put end to this.“ Whispered and continued his walk. He didn´t know where is he going, all he wanted was time to think, which wasn´t the easiest thing to do.

After a while he lied down under a tree and watched clouds.

„Loki! Here you are, could you please help me?“ said Twilight suddenly standing next to him.

„Of course. What do you need?“

Both ponies went to library and purple unicorn started explaining:

„Do you remember that spell, what I casted on Rarity to give her a wings? I want to do little experiment and see, if I can summon realistic pair of wings this time.“

Grey earth pony smiled.

„I can´t be unicorn and now I can´t be earth pony either.“

She smiled and when they arrived to library, Twilight casted her spell.

„Wow, they really looks realistic!“ said Loki, when he was lookign in the mirror on his new pair of grey wings.

„That´s really good. But they it´s just a test and so they have to go.“ Her horn shined and so Loki´s wings. But they didn´t dissapear.

Grey pony just sighed.

„What´s happenening? Why dodn´t they go away?“

„Maybe some error in your spell?“

„Maybe. I´ll look at it. Don´t you mind having these wings for some time?“

„Well, I don´t have a choice, at least I can fly a bit.“

Outside he went on nearby field and practice.

„Oh, that is nice pair of wings Loki. How did you get them?“ spoke Rainbow Dash relaxing on tree brach.

„Hi Rainbow. Twilight was experimenting so now I am pegasus for some time.“

„That´s awesome! New flying buddy! Don´t you want visit Cloudsdale and do flying examples? It is good way of learning.“

„I don´t know…“

„Don´t worry, it will be fun.“

Few hours later, Loki was escorted into Weather Factory, after he fail examples.

XXXXXX

Yea, really funny Rainbow Dash. How was I supposed to do them? I thought that they´ll give me some time to fly properly. Also I don´t understand, why do they want so much, me visiting the Weather Factory. Right now I am mad at Twilight, Rainbow Dash, wings and all I want is go home and buck apples.

Inside he with few other pagasi entered a large hall, with strange mashine in the middle. There also was strange smell in the air.

„Loki! I see that you didn´t make it.“ Welcomed him Rainbow Dash´s voice, strangely cold.

He had really bad feeling.

„Girl, what is happening? Why did I have to come here and what is this machine?“

„I think that it will be better to show it to you. I know that you always loved alchemy.“

Two guards took one of the pegasi who were doing examples with him and draged him towards the machine. Then guards threw him inside.

Loki just heard short scream and weird noises, then colors of rainbow leakened and continued their trip to others part of this machine.

Now he realized what is that smell. Blood.

„Machine on Rainbows. This is how we are creating them. We use all the colors that this failed pegasi has in their bodies and grind them into rainbows. Of course, that is secret, but that doesn´t matter for you. The fact is, this is why I wanted you do those examples, so you came here and…“ she turned at the grey pegasus, but all she saw at the place, where he was standing was dead gurad with broken neck and open doors behind him.

„Damn fools! You let him escape! Stay here and protect the machine, I´ll get him.“ Said and rushed to the open door.

XXXXXX

Damn. Damn. Damn.

He didn´t have time to really thing about what happened, but when he realizet what is happening, he broke neck to one of the guards and ran away. He knew that Rainbow will come to get him, but there wasn´t any other option.

After a while of flying through hallways, he saw door on his left side, so he opened it and ran inside. As soon as he entered a strong smell of blood hit him in the nose.

„What is this place?“

Small room was filled with all kinds of chemicals organized on shelfs. Besides that, there was huge thing what usually farmers used to skin their animals. According to amout of blood, covering the floor, there were live ponies sknined in this room.

Loki focused on chemicals.

This could be useful.

XXXXXXX

„I am so bored.“ Said Stormkicker. One of the guards protecting the factory. It was quite a while, since Rainbow Dash went to catch that worthless pegasus. Stormkicker felt kinda bad for leting him slip away. As all male guards, he wished to date with Rainbow. What a nice clolorful body. This led to watching her, instead of their prisoner.

Suddenly, the door opened and the the room came Rainbow Dash covered in blood and with her favourite sunglasses on. Also she was draging behind her skinned body.

„Damn bastard, he kicked me in the neck.“ She rasped.

„Are you alright Ms?“

„Of course! Také this pile of trash and throw it into machine. I decided to keep his skin, that discousting grey wouldn´t be helpful anyway.“

„Roger that.“ Stormkicker did, what she told him to do and then he turned back to her.

„I need on fresh air, the fight was quite exhousting. Could you please accompany me?“

„Sure!“

Both pegasi walken through hallways to the exit.

„Ms, who was that grey pegasus?“

„One of my best friends.“

„Best friends?“

„True, at least I thought that.“

„What happened? If you don´t mind…“

„I don´t. He betrayed me. It is hard to explain.“

They continued silently, until they standed at the entrance.

Stormkicker watched beatiful clouds and waited, if Rainbow will say something.

„You asked me, what happened.“ Said unknown voice.

He turn around and saw grey pegasus, with grey skin soaked with blood and crazy look in eyes. All what was left from Rainbow Dash lied under him. Just a skin.

„She betrayed me, tryied to kill me and killed those innocent ponies. She lost right to live. You will bring this skin to your superiors and tell him this: If this unholy factory continue in killing ponies, I will come back and Rainbow Dash´s pain will be NOTHING comapared to yours.“

XXXXXXXX

„You thought that you will run from me?“ Rainbow Dash asked Loki, when she found him.

„Why are you doing this?“

She laughed.

„You can say, that I am loyal to Cloudsdale, but I think that it´s not what you want to know.“

Loki didn´t answer.

„It´s because I hate you! I hate everything on you! I don´t understand how Applejack can love you! Trickster! I was supposed to be her loved one!“

„I see, so you are jaelous at me, for being Aj´s special somepony. That is truly sad.“

„You are mocking me! I know it! But know I will kill you, and Applejack will be mine, as it was supposed to be! Honesty and loyalty belongs together! Ponies like you, should be hated!“ she screamed, jumped and bite him in the leg.

And Loki just calmly pulled it from her mouth. From colorful pony was just a live statue, all she could was moving her eyes.

„Crippling poison. I found it in labratory. Workers of Weather Factory seemingly uses it to torture other ponies.“

„How…did you do it?“ somehow she was still able to speak.

„Oh, I just put it on my body. This kind of poison has to be eaten in order to work.“

Loki pulled from under of his wing small bottle, poured it into Rainbow´s mouth and forced her to swallow it.

„Don´t worry, you will die quickly, but not without pain. It is the least you deserve for killing inocent pegasi, and trying to kill me.“

Her body started to shake and fell on the ground.

„I…always…hated you! No…loyalty.“

Cruelty in Loki´s sould took the lead and he spoke to her ear.

„I thought, that I´ll let you die first, but I changed my mind. Do you know how I plan on escaping? I will take you to laboratory, skin you and then wear your skin as a suit to trick guards. And I will not wait until you completly die. Consider it punishment.“

Thanks to heavy door to laboratory, nopony heard Rainbow Dash´s screams. Only Loki.

XXXXXXXX

Later.

„I have to return to Ponyville.“ Said Loki and jumped from cloud. When he was falling towards the ground and other pony appeared in front of him.

„You did very well Loki.“ Said strange pony, for some reason Loki couldn´t tell, what race he is, even thought he looked directly at him.

„What do you mean?“

„You are asleep. This was just a test.“

„What for?“

„You were able to brutaly kill your best friend.“

Loki shaked his head.

„She tryied to kill me and she murdered all those other ponies. There was no other way.“

„You can say it like that, but I know that it hurts. Even she did, what she did, the feelings, between friends, can´t be broken so easily. Now we know that you aren´t perfect „good guy“.“

„You do realize, that once I´ll find you, you will be praying to be at her, place do you?“

„I don´t think so. If you kill me, then you´ll never discover, how to use Shard inside you, or how to get you magic back. Isn´t that your goal?“

„You won. What am I supposed to go?“

Unknown pony laught.

„It will not be so easy. Few more tests are coming.“

Loki woke up and realized that he is lying under a tree, where he was watching clouds. He also remembered everything, that happen in his nightmare.

Did I really just accepted that bastard´s plans?

„Damn you! I don´t care if you hear me! I will find you all and make you pay for plaing with my mind!“ he shouted and luckily nopony was near.

Now when he had a goal again, it was easy, not think about his lost magic.

„Nopony plays with me!“ said silently.

„And I am here to help you.“ Said black haired Loki, who came from behind a tree.
