Dark

Dark was the only thing the six could see. There were some wails, groans, and whimpers all around them. Some were screams or crying, no matter how hard they tried these sounds wouldn't go away. Suddenly, the voices got louder like they all were screaming. The voices got louder and louder almost sounding like a mixer of distorted growls, this started to scare them. Then like a snap of a finger, the screams stopped, and the dark world started to clear like a wave of water returning everything to a clear open meadow. Looking around, they noticed that everything was back to the way they were and they looked at each other checking to see if anything was different. The only thing that was different was that on each of their right hand was an on symbol. Then portals opened under them sucking them into different parts of the meadow. When Dash dropped out of the portal, she was greeted by something she once had a nightmare about.

The Rainbow Factory, the place looked run-down like it wasn't used in years. Before she could even think of running away from this place, a voice called out from the Factory.

Suddenly The Darkness spoke.

Raindow Dash

You are Pride

"What?" Dash said confused. Machines started to make noise inside the Factory.

You want everyone to know you

"No, well...maybe a little." Dash admitted mainly to herself. Shades of Rainbows began to appear out of the building.

To praise you

"What are you trying to say?!!" Dash yelled looking for any sign of this thing. Her hand started burning a purple electoral flame.

To respect you

"Anypony would want that." Dash replied angerly.

To make you feel special

"I...I...I" Dash started to stutter.

To LOVE you

Dash didn't say anything else

These are what you feed on

You

Are

PRIDE

A weird symbol appeared on the back of her right hand.

Let's make some Dark Raindows

A bloody Rainbow walked by the shocked and scared Dash into the building laughing while holding a crying wingless Scootaloo.

Applejack

"What do you want?" Asked Applejack annoyed. Applejack and her friends have dealt with beings like this before. She felt like this thing is just another bad guy to beat but before she could think of any other villain trope, her body started to burn.

Don't

EVER

compare me with those worthless

It growled.

Creatures

The burning stopped after it finished talking. Applejack then got up, slightly stumbled before correcting herself. Looking around she noticed that she was in an apple orchard. Walking close to a tree, she noticed that the tree was very dark black color then a brown one. Backing up, she readied to kick the tree, and with great strength, she kicked the tree but only for one of the branches to grab her leg. It tightens its grab before slamming her into the ground then tossed her. It has thrown her far from the orchard making her land in the open field. Landing on her back, Applejack got up to stare at the trees but only to be greeted by the trees uprooting themselves and making their way to her. Quickly, she got up and ran from them. As she did, the tree started to shoot thorns at her. Running faster, she was able to get to a barn that was near. Rushing to the door, she opened it, went in, then shutting the door. Backing away from the door, hoping the tree monsters wouldn't try and open it, she moved slowly away from the door. After a few moments, the sounds of roots moving away from the door.

"Okay, I think they are gone." She said signing in relief.

You are always the strong one

"What are you getting at?" Applejack asked it.

But as lazy as that dumb blue bitch

"Hey don't ya insult my fri- " Applejack didn't as her legs suddenly got a sharp pain. Falling to her knees, she looked down to see two jagged blades in her legs.

You rather sleep than work

Applejack grunted as she listened to it.

You talk about how proud your family

"Don't you fin-" Applejack began to say before stabbed in her right arm.

Is the best at apple-farming and yet

Another blade stabbed her left arm.

you do nothing but sleep

A strange symbol appeared on the back of her right hand.

you make others do your work

Applejack wanted to retort but was done flooded by memories. Applejack watched as many moments in her work life that showed her giving or tricking her friends(Dash mainly) to do her work while she sleeps or rest. Then many voices of hers started to run in her mind, all saying how hard-working her and the apple family is but she sees how much she lazy around. Unknown to her was another Applejack walking by. This Applejack looked dazed and confused.

Wake up~

Rarity suddenly awake from her sleep as she laid on the grass, looking down she saw that her bottom half was in the water. Getting herself out of the water, she slightly had trouble standing. After she gets out, she was greeted by her home/workplace. Confused, she slowly made her way over there even though her chest hurt like somepony burned her.

You're getting closer

Something told her to stop but she continued to her home. After what felt like minutes, she made it to her door. Opening it, she was greeted by nothing. Everything seems to the same as she ha left it. So walking in while closing the door behind her. She looked around wanting to make sure everything was the some, not a thing was amiss.

Go upstairs

Rarity stayed where she was, not wanting to do want this thing said. Then a growl was heard before it 'asked' again.

Go upstairs now!

Rarity still didn't move from her spot.

"I'm not going anywhere, me and my friends have face worse threats than you." Rarity commented. Rarity shouldn't have said that.

Then I'll make you!

After it said that, a young filly's scream was heard above her. Rarity realized that the scream was her young sister Sweetie Bell. The sense of protection for her sister made her race upstairs.

Hurry she needs you

Rarity made her up to Sweetie's room. Opening it, she was greeted a horrible sight.

Sweetie belle was hanging with her arms tied, and with stab wounds which formed a heart. Rarity slowly walked over to the corpse of her sister.

"N-no, T-this isn't real." Rarity said to herself as she sees this horrible scene. Rarity was speechless as she just stared at the body of her sister. Suddenly the door open, turning around to see what walked in.

"How have you been doing dearling." Said a voice similar to Rarity's. The pony walking in looked like Rarity but with a darker shade of color with a burn mark that looked like a heart.

This Rarity was very off-putting. She looked dirty and seem insane, she even had a slit in her chest.

"Have you learn your lesson?" This insane Rarity asked her with a smile. Rarity stood there looking at this pony angrily.

Sweetie didn't respond all that much just mumbled a few words.

"What did you do to my sister?!" Rarity yelled at the faker. The insane Rarity didn't seem fazed by her yell or even seem to notice it.

"Well maybe next you ask a pony before taking their belongings." The insane Rarity said still looking towards her sister before returning around and walking out the room.

"I'll be back later, so don't make to much of a mess." She said as she closed the door.

you take whatever suits your liking

"W-what?" Rarity asked as the evil being said to her.

You use others to gain something out of them.

"N-no, that's not true." Rarity said back to the voice. A burst of loud laughter echoes out.

Spike you use his love for you as a tool

"I never do such a thing." Rarity said to the voice. Once again it just laughed.

Keep telling yourself that whore

Rarity gasped at the word it called her.

"How dare you call me, such a thing, you evil bastard. "Rarity yelled at it. Again, it just laughed at her.

Gold digger

Wanting attention only on yourself

"I-I'm none of those." Rarity said in a weak voice.

You

Are

Greed

An odd symbol appeared on the back of her right hand.

Rarity was then flooded with memories of her life in business as she used Spike's love for her, only wanting to be rich, and using others to gain a something in her favor. Apart of her wanted to deny this but another accepted it.
