proluge:

All I could hear was the sound of my own hoofsteps clanging against the metal......

Where was the exit..... it has to be somewhere in this dammed factory......

There is no one here... no one that could help nor get in my way..... the factory was silent......

Silent..... silent...... Why was the factory silent? It's on all hours of the day......

"I've found you!~"........... SHIT!!!........... SHIT!!!............ BUKING HELL!!!..........

All I can hope for is that she really doesn't find me before I get out...............

With my heart rate tripling every few seconds I was hoping I would die from a heart attack before she finds me. I take a turn at the next left I see, just to get a face full of colors from another pony. "There you are!" I try to run away from the crazy cyan pegasus, only to stumble into the floor in front of her. She has a cyan coat and rainbow mane, a mischievous look in her eye, her lips turned upwards in a sadistic smile. She is the factory's leader, she is know as Miss Dash, the most vile pony in Equestria. I reel back and turn around only to find her in my path again, this time she is wearing a gas mask. She steps around me an in front of the other.. one..... WHAT!?!? If there is anything Equestria does not need, it's two Miss Dashes. The Dash with a gas mask gestures with her hoof in the direction that I had not taken. I am unsure weather or not to take the path or go back the way I came, but I take the path anyway because it was closer and to get as far away from both of them. I take a glance back to see the smile fade from the first Rainbow, as I turn my head away I hear one of them speak, "What are you doing here? apparently they know each other, twins? If so, that was pretty well hidden, almost everybody knows who Miss Dash, at least everyone inside the factory, she is the only pony who goes in and out of the Factory. When she is in the factory, she is a sadistic bitch, and we were told that while she was outside the factory, she puts on a front of being a nice and kind flight teacher or something like that, having a twin sister is new. The second Dash only stomps her hoof before I leave the room, I hear scuffling a few moments later. I have no time to watch as I put all of my focus into trying to escape. After ten minutes of running down a hallway, I come across large iron double doors, hopefully the exit. As I approach them I realize that they are unlocked, I trot up to them and start to open them, they are large iron doors so they are heavy and slow. Light starts to envelop my vision as I start to open the door to the outside.

My eyes shoot open, my body is in a cold sweat. I can feel bile starting to rise up my throat but I choke it down. I look around me briefly forgetting that I had escaped the factory the day before. I'm Surrounded by trees, it's about mid-morning, and there is a stream near by, I trot over to it and look into the reflection. My body is in a complete mess, my black mane is all tangled, my grey fur is missing chunks and is revealing parts of my inorganic body, some parts are missing or broken. I run a maintenance check, all of my organic body is fine except for some minor bruising and most of my mechanical body has minor damage. I could repair all of it, but I don't have the materials to do so, luckily my wings are still functional but I wont be able to fly as fast as I'm able to at full functionality. I find a relatively clear patch where there are no tree branches to get in my way and take off. I spot the edge of the forest next to a mountain, its a good few miles away, I start flying in that direction.

By the time I get there, its already noon. As I fly around the mountain I spot a some grassy fields about a mile away, and a small town after that. I fly to the grassy fields and land before my wings start to over heat and malfunction. Buck, the cooling system is broken There's a small cottage twenty feet away, small and cute with lots of bird houses, animals, and a stream with a bridge that leads to a small path towards the town. I'm about to collapse from exhaustion and and I don't think I can make it to the town on my own, "Dam, please let that town have what I need." I mutter to myself. I go up to the door and knock, "Hello! Is anypony home? I need some help!" I yell as hard as I can. No pony answers. I try again "Hello!? I really need some help here!" again no pony answers.

Just as I'm about to leave the door creaks open, "Umm... Hello?" a quiet feminine voice says from behind the door. I turn around and all I can see of the pony is a long bright pink mane.

"Umm.. Hello, I'm in in a bit of a pinch and would really appreciate it if you could tell me where I am." The pony with the pink mane finally moves it to the side to reveal a light butterscotch colored mare with cerulean colored eyes, she is about to say something but dives away from the door.

"Eep!!" aaaaannnd she forgot to close the door. It must have been my appearance to make her run like that.
"Ummm... Yea. Sorry about my appearance, it's kind of why I need help." Dam I must look bad.

"Please don't hurt me." she peeps out.

I chuckle at this, "Don't worry, i'm not going to hurt you, I just need some pony to tell me where I am." I can see her tail poking out from behind the couch, shivering then it stops.

"Oh thank Celestia," she says, slowly getting out from behind the couch and cautiously approaches me. " myname isFluttershy." Thank you hearing aid, although that doesn't answer my question, ok.

"Well hello Fluttershy, do you mind telling me where I am?" She shakes her head.

"You are in Ponyville." still saying that in her scared, timid voice.

"Ponyville? Huh. Thank you Fluttershy, there is one more thing I would like to ask you. Do you think you could get me to a hospital?" I ask before collapsing on to the floor.


Author's Note

Hay! This is my first story ever, so please tell me if I was good or not, just don't be an ass by being super critical or mean about it. And yes I know I am going to have a lot of mistakes at first, the reason is that at the moment I do not own a computer with a great word processing power, just a basic one. Im hoping to get the next chapter done by next week..... Buuuuutttt ill probably have it done in within the month, ill finish as soon as possible. Like/Fav or do both (which would be great!) And have a nice time! Also the character in the video is sort of his appearance in this story and, if u notice any mistakes in terms of "pony language" like: if miss used the term hoof step or something like that, tell me, TY! And! I will probably add one or two more categories as the story progresses.
