Prologue

Prologue

   Scootaloo couldn't sleep that night as the rumored pegasus foal nappings have been swimming in her head like an school of fish. Well she was ripped from not only the state of daydreaming but her bed too! "HELP ME!" she yelled at the top of her lungs as the masked pegasus grabbed her and darted out the window before her sister could react.

"SCOOTALOO!" Cheerilee yelled. But it was too late it happened to fast devastated that her only sister was taken from her she vowed she would get her home safe but how! She was no pegasus she can't fly. But she new a pony that can and he wasn't even a pegasus. Thinking her luck had turned for the better she rushed to the library so Spike the dragon could get a very valuable letter to Canterlot for she was getting cousin Sabre!

Chapter 2 I need a hoof

     Applebloom, Sweetiebell, and I decided to check around Ponyville for clues regarding the foal nappings. "No I can't say I know to much about it." said one pony after another until we found a young colt he looked rather bloodied and bruised if I might say.

"Oh my what happened to you, are you hurt?" I asked but he just muttered

"Rrrrainbow..." before blacking out I quickly got an ambulance and let the doctors handle it from here. I still wondered who would hurt such a innocent foal like that and the word he muttered "rainbows" I wasn't sure what it meant but something clicked in the back of my mind but I couldn't put my hoof on it.

"We're do yah think Scoots is, I'm scared.' said Applebloom.

"Don't worry I'll find her but I'll need some helping hooves, ok." Sabre exclaimed. They nodded and we continued on. Taking a break round noon for a snack at Sugar CubeCorner were we thought about a plan. "Ok from what I've gathered the foals in question were all pegasus ponies and they were taken round midnight at the latest, and from what I've hearted that colt said were he got injured a place called "Rainbow Factory" I don't know why he would say that the place was safe as houses last time I checked" said Sabre. Now Sabre was one of the few unicorns who are able to walk on clouds due to magic.

"I've heard that name before." said Sweetie before falling down on the floor grabbing her head screaming to stop hurting me you pegasus jerks! The fits continued for a little bit then stopped when she got up and said "What happened?" thus I told her of what happened. "I..I..I don't know how that happened I just know something happened there." she said.

"First you should rest, after an fit like that it's a good idea." said Sabre. Sweetie nodded and I brought her home. Rarity was so upset at what had happened.

"Why how dreadful are you ok Sweetiebelle." said Rairity.

"Sweetie just needs rest" I told her. I led her inside the boutique to her room and went back to Sugar Cube Corner.

Chapter 3 Scootaloo's prison

  Scootaloo could hear the faint hum of machinery as she was awoken. Her head hurt she was bruised and in pain, most importantly scared. "No I have to stay calm, cool, and collected now how do I get out?" said Scootaloo in hushed rapid tones. She looked around and she saw the first of many horrors to come. A headless colt lying on the ground with all the color basically sucked out of him or her she couldn't tell from this angle, but she knew she might join the foal when a knife pierced her flank and she saw the eyes of a psychopath it was her hero Rainbowdash!

"Hey Applebloom what's got you troubled other than the obvious?" asked Sabre.

"I'm just worried Scoots is gone, and now Sweetie I think she lost it." said Applebloom. She glanced around the unusually quiet sweets shop like she was worried about some one sneaking around to get her. Now that's just what I thought she quickly looked back to the table knowing that I was looking at her.

"You okay Applebloom?" I asked. But she only remained quiet. "Well she's gonna be fine Scoots and Sweetie alike." I said hoping to cheer her up. But to no avail.

"Why hello there."  said a blue pegasus that I recognized as.

"RainbowDash." I said to say hello to the captain of the weather team. We met a few months back at the wedding of Shining and Cadence. Why if it wasn't for her and her friends I would be dead now. I know I said I took on twenty changelings by myself well number twenty one kinda got me off guard. I'd be dead if Rainbow Dash hadn't kicked it of me.

"Why hello there mister second in command." She said in a sarcastic tone. "I heard you were looking for Scootaloo, I've come to help out, wouldn't be the element of loyalty if I didn't." she said.

I was glad to hear that more ponies were here to help. "Thank you miss I guess I owe you another favor then?" I said rubbing the back of my head.

"Don't worry about it looking for Scootaloo is enough for my help in Canterlot." She said.

"Thank you." quietly said Applebloom or Applegloom (sorry for the bad pun). But seriously I've never seen her with such little spirit, she worried me.

"I'll look around Cloudsdale for her if you need me give me a shout." said Rainbow Dash as she dashed away.

Chapter 5 We find the trail

Chapter 5 We find the trail

      Applebloom was just leaving Sweet Apple Acres to check if her friend Sweetiebell was okay when she saw something flutter down in front of her. "Now what in tarnation could that be?" she exclaimed before picking the item up to examine it. "It looks like a mask but who's mask is it?" she said as she decided to give this to Sabre in case he knew anything about it cause it looked mighty similar to something she'd seen before, but she couldn't put her hoof on it. Shrugging she trotted off into town.

While flying up to the factory a strong wind current came and slammed into RainbowDash as she was sifting through her sattlebags knocking her mask out of her grasp. "Oh horse shoes!" she exclaimed. She really should of gone after it but she wasn't going to be late for work over one mask. She closed her bags and dashed through the clear blue.

Sabre was talking to Cheerilee trying to calm her, she was so worried about Scootaloo that she was hardly able to function. Seeing her like that told me if I didn't find her soon she would cease to function at all. Twilight came back with three cups of tea. She sat them on the table and sat down relaying the evidence. "And then you heard that colt saw "Rainbow Factory" right?". I nodded yes, and she continued. "Doesn't Rainbow Dash run that place now, and should we go up to check it out I've got a spell that could let us walk on clouds." she said.

"As do I, but what does the Rainbow Factory have to do with the foalnappings?" I asked.

"I don't know but we should check just to be sure." she said as an anxious yellow filly came in panting.

"Mister Sabre I think you should see this." she said between pants, and as I took it Cheerilee let out a small yelp.

"The foal napper was wearing that mask!" she said before remembering Scootaloo and going quiet yet again.

"Well I say we give the factory a visit." I said seeing the rainbow colored hair in the top of the mask

"PLEASE LET ME GO!" Scootaloo yelled as Rainbow Dash "softened her up" so the machine wouldn't get clogged. She was covered in cuts, gashes, and bruises now and one of her eyes swollen shut. She just wanted to go home.                                                          But if I do that I could be killed, arrested, or both why I can't let that happen no hard feelings." she said extending her hoof then realizing the foal was bound she just picked up a knife and slashed.

"We're almost there" said Twilight as we descended onto Cloudsdale. The city was a beautiful assortment of buildings made of pure white clouds, pegusi flying all over the place, but what cought my eye was the cloud sending rainbows into the blue sky.

"Now let's get to the factory!" I said before landing on the factories balcony. They were greeted buy two pegusi in lab coats who beckoned for them to stop.

"Halt the Rainbow Factory is off limits please go back!" shouted the pegasus standing next to the balloon his name tag read "Tyler".

"Now that would be lovely, but RUN!" I yelled and Twilight and a jumped out running twords the factory.

Chapter 6 The Confrontation

Chapter 6 The Confrontation

    As we raced through the factory the employees chased us until we came upon a large steel door. It was our only way through! So my horn blazed with my familiar purplish pink magic, and I morphed it into a sort of battering ram and bashed my way through. What we saw we couldn't bear. Filly's and colts being tossed into a type of grinder, and on the other side a batch of rainbows came out! Horrified Twilight Sparkle threw up all over the floor. "I can't belive this, in all my days I've arrested countless criminals, seen countless deaths but none disgusted me as much as this it it sickens me." I said disgusted.

"I I I just need a minute you go ahead, don't worry I'll be fine just GO" she told me. I bowed, turned twords the door on the other side and ran.

BANG BANG the sounds of Sabre's break in could be heard all the way through the factory. Completely mystified by what could have made that ruckus. "Well the janitors can clean up the mess I have work to do!" said the blue mare.

"You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into eh Dashie!" said Scootaloo smugly.

"And what might that be hm I'd say our workers can handle what ever that was." she said right as the door shattered into pieces and an armored brown unicorn walked in a face full of rage.

"LET HER GO RAINBOW DASH OR ELSE!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I activated my horn turning my magic into the shape of a long sword.

"Now that was fast I guess you've ran out of patience, and I can't blame you I mean she's nearly dead your probobly exhausted and I'm just peachy." said Rainbow Dash with a glint of challenge in her eyes as she picked up a knife longer than the rest. I sent my magic blade flying and cleaved the knife into. Startled she jumped straight up, and hit the roof "owwww what the hay that was uncalled for!" she yelled.

"No your uncalled for you b#%4* I'm not even begun to take out my rage on you." I yelled at her. I again lit up my horn making a spear this time, and lunged. She dodged grabbed a hatchet and swung I blocked it, and through my spear at her she smacked it away with her hatchet. "I can't keep this up all day, I've got to get Scoots." I mumbled but when I turned Twilight was running with Scootaloo on her back. Now I could drop this place for good!

Twilight and Scootaloo were already in the balloon hovering below the factory while tending to Scootaloo's wounds. "She really did a number on you didn't she?" asked Twilight.

"A number and then some." replyed Scootaloo dryly. Then they herd the bang!

Chapter 7 I take my revenge

    The fight could've gone either way, but to let you know what happened. During the fight we clashed magic on steel, she held her ground and got a couple of slashes on me one of them putting a gash in my muzzle causing me to reel back. Feeling lucky she came in for the kill and I swung my magic axe I sliced her left wing off. "GAH WHAT DID YOU DO!" She yelled.

"Just evened the score." I said as blood flowed from the stump were her wing used to be. "Now the world will be safe." I told her already conjouring a new blade.

"Oh no you don't." she said tackling me and hitting the lever that activates the device turning it off pistons, gears, and bloodstained blades stopped working at once. "No!" she said quickly trying to reactivate the device only to feel a sharp pain in her side. "Gah!" she yelped as she fell to the floor helpless I raised my horn and brought it don on her neck in the form of an axe.

"I'm sorry old friend, but it had to be done." I said to her severed head blood pouring on the floor pegusi running around frantically trying to escape. "You would understand RD, but it seems my favors cannot be delivered sorry bout that." I said sending a bolt of energy into the device causing it to overload, and well you know. (BOOM)

"AAAAHHHH!" Sabre screamed as he fell towards Twilights balloon waiting for the demise that never came as his friend Twilight Sparkle was already in action. She caught him with magic.

"Now what would you do without me I ask why you would be dead that's what." she said, but I didn't respond instead I ran to Scootaloo's side examining her wounds that weren't bound already.

"Mister Sabre you saved me I I I don't know what she would've done to me if you two wouldn't of come along I was so scared." Scootaloo said before passing out of exhaustion.

When we arrived back at Ponyville we were greeted by all, and even a now spirit packed Sweetiebell and Applebloom who greeted their wounded friend with open arms. As for me Cheerilee couldn't have been happier to see us her mane was done, her face in a smile. Then a pink pony with an even bigger smile showed up now that I think about it she seemed to have came out of the air in front of me I recognized her as Pinkie pie the pony that defies physics and breaks the so called fourth wall as she said once. But I saw a strange look in her eyes, and oddly she came over and asked this "Want to make cupcakes with me!" I shrugged and agreed. She smiled and trotted off.

That's all for this case I guess see you later.

TheEnd

Chapter 1 The Letter the Cousin and the Hero

   Celestial Sabre was just practicing his magic when a guard came in the door with a letter. He seemed concerned, well I guess you want to know what our protagonist looks like. Now Sabre is a chestnut unicorn with walnut brown mane and crossed swords with purple blades for a Cutie mark. "Urgent message from Ponyville comes from a Miss.Cheerilee.". At the mention of his cousin Sabre ran to the guard using magic to open the message.

"Dear Celestial Sabre I've come bearing bad news Scootaloo has been kidnapped!" startled at the statement he momentairaly stopped reading to catch his breath and kept reading. "I need you Sabre your the only unicorn other than Twilight who would help well Twilight is out of town but contacted me I need you to get her back I promised Mom I would take care of her, please she needs you!". He dropped the letter grabbed his armor and took off!

Sabre arrived at Ponyville within the hour with the help of his magic. I mean he is the second in command of the royal guard. Shining Armor recognized his abilities at the attack on Canterlot when he used his magic weapons to dispatch twenty Changelings in a matter of moments. "Well here I am." he said as he walked to the school.

"Sabre oh thank Celestia your here!" said Cheerilee as she beckoned me in and explained to the students why I was here. When two fillies a unicorn with a cotton candy mane and white fur, and a yellow with red maned earth pony I recognized as Scootaloo's friends Applebloom, and Sweetiebell! "Well hello there girls how are you doing, you know with Scoots gone."  said Sabre. They remained silent "Not so good huh?" he exclaimed.

The unicorn stepped up and said "Please bring Scootaloo back she's our best friend." She sniffled.

"Don't worry I will after all she's family, and I will do anything for family! ANY THING!" I exclaimed. Already thinking about how I'm gonna save Scoots."

    "Ow!" moaned Scootaloo as she noticed the pain in the back of her head. Where was she? Panic gripped her as she felt the binds around her hooves. She was yelling "HELP HELP HELP ME!" she yelled knowing well that she was kidnapped.

Chapter 4 not a single soul gets through.

      Two hours later. "What do you even need me for!" yelled Scootaloo. She directed her question at Rainbow Dash as she opened the door. Already scared by the dark, cold, blood stained room with corpses all over the room.

"How do you not remember I know it was months ago, but how do you not remember?" said an obviously annoyed Rainbow Dash. "But if I must explain, here at the rainbow factory we create the rainbows for all of Equestria after an incident our princess was unable to do so, as such she came to the pegusi for help, and so we made a factory to create rainbows but we kept one thing secret from the princess." said Rainbow Dash.

"And what's that?" asked Scootaloo regretting asking that.

"We needed foals to create them there colorful spirits were capable of being turned into a liquid state and released into the air to make rainbows, and now you know." she answered.

"NO NO NO!" screamed Scootaloo now fearful for her life. Her mind was a flurry of fear as she struggled against her bonds to no avail.

Back at Ponyville I Celestial Sabre was stumped. "Why can't I find anything I've searched every corner of Ponyville, and the foalnapper couldn't of escaped as soon as the disappearances started pegusi, and unicorns haven't let any pony leave or enter the town so now were?" I said to myself.

"Hello there can I talk to you? " asked a purple unicorn that I also knew.

"Why Twilight Sparkle how goes you?" I asked.

"Oh fine but I heard about Scootaloo and came to help in any way I can." said Twilight. Glad for the extra help I accepted her help. "Then let's get to work!" she said with an adventurous glint in her eyes.

"Aaaah stop stop please stop!" yelled Scootaloo as her captor just played with her slowly cutting into her flesh with her knife. But she didn't stop. Trying to reason with the psycho pony was out of the window she tried to threaten her. "If you kill me I'll haunt you for the rest of your life!" she said.

"Oh, but you see I can leave but as for you not a single soul gets through!" Rainbow Dash laughed.

Terrified Scootaloo could only sit there terrified for death, then she screamed "HELP ME!"
