Awoken (atmosphere)

I've stoked the fire, seen more pain than you could know

The tears of the broken have washed away my soul…

Pushed by desire, to change the way my stream will flow

Now I’m awoken, and I’m taking back control

Hide walked up to the side of the rainbow mare. She had been getting a duller color nowadays, despite what she was like. Her mane, once vibrant and full of life, might as well have been gray.

They maintained a watchful eye on the Pegasus device, speaking very little. It wasn't long before they heard the shouting.

“Hey! Stop! Let me go!”

He was untied…

“What is this thing? Don’t bucking lock me in there!”

He was locked into the device.

Hoisted up as he kept ranting to be viewed by the ponies. It was the tan pony who was the blue mare…

The dials were messed with quickly. The limbs came off, as the blades raised back up.

He screamed… Another stab to the heart of the doctor. He watched unflinchingly as the needle-blade impaled him, and looked up…

To see the foal looking at him, a gray color adopting to his fur…

It was like the foal thought he was familiar…

“Please… You have… to save… Blue…” The foal died, and the locks released, dropping him into the gears as Spectra of yellow and orange pooled out. He had stared into the doctor’s eyes as he said it… and it hadn’t gone unnoticed.

“Hide. Who’s Blue?”

“I don’t know.”

“Did you know that worthless cunt?”

“No."

Rainbow quieted. Unable to really base any form of accusation against him, she held shut. The incineration device activated, as the spectra finally finished pumping into the pools.

“Alright… We’ll wait here. GET THE NEXT ONE!”

The guards responded quickly. They ran into the elevator, and quickly went down. Hide looked to his side, and seen something. A shutdown button… his ticket out. He remembered, each generation had a shutdown button in case of a reactor failure.

Blue’s cell door opened, and two ponies grabbed her. She fought as hard as she could, but their over-bearing strength quickly got her tied into position. She was hoisted over a guard’s back, and was taken into the elevator.

She was brought up a floor, and carried out. In front of them, lay a massive device of gears, dials, measurement takers, buttons and all. She looked at it, with a fear and awestruck wonder at the same time. She was plopped to the floor. An angry expression of pain quickly appeared on her face.

They untied her, and picked her up by the hooves as a table like structure came forward. They locked her into it, and it began to hoist her up.

The labcoat pony she saw messed with the dials as the scanner started…

And stopped.

He took off his goggles and stared wide-eyed and what had just happened. She looked over to her side. It was the red Pegasus. He had pressed a shiny silver button, so it appeared, and it shut everything down. The Pegasus Device had ceased functioning…
