The awakening

Since my arrival in Hoofington, nothing happened just that the place was desolate. No talking, no laughter just nothing. I had no idea what was happening until I did meet somepony.

Cautiously, I wandered this new land trying not to think of what had happened with that demented memory of mine. The words lingered in my mind forcing me to remember this against my will. My head hurt from the force of me trying to remember anything that I could possibly of remembered but since arriving here, all I could remember was the similarities between that filly that I could remember and that mare, the one who told me to leave. The similarities were endless and the differences were limited.

These thoughts were soon cut off for a scream could be heard. Automatically, I ran over to the source and its source was a dark purple mare gripping onto the cliff with one hoof. I looked down to her to find her wings spread out but I was curious on why she would not just fly. She glanced up but soon coward away at the sight of me. Quickly, I stuck my hoof out trying to reach for hers before she plummeted down hundreds of feet.

"No, please! I'm so sorry! Please don't take me to the factory!" she cried out, refusing to take my hoof. I looked at her with curiosity on why she would fear me and this factory she talked about.

"Take my hoof! Quick before you fall!" I called out ignoring her cries.

"I didn't mean to be a failure! I don't want to go!" tears streamed down her bruised, dirty face.

"I'm not going to do anything! Just take my hoof and I'll pull you up!"

She looked up and saw that I was truly trying to help her. She swung her other hoof up and grabbed mine and with much effort , I pulled her up. Without a thank you or anything, she ran not looking back. I sat there thinking about what she just said. Failures? I'm sure that familiar mare said something about failures... I thought thinking about what these failures were.

After much thinking, I looked up to find the mare I just helped, cautiously walking up to me and sitting in front of me.

"Ermm...thank you Ms Dash," she softly spoke, cringing after speaking.

"Please, just call me Dash and I did what any normal pony would do... Speaking of ponies, where are they?" I questioned lowering my volume to not scare her away again. She gave me a confused look knowing what has happened.

"Have-have you lost your memories? You don't seem to understand any of my actions," she spoke, carefully choosing words that won't infuriate me.

"Yeah, I remember nothing and I need help... You seem to know a lot about me though, may you tell me information on myself?"

"Ermm... Of course, but if you promise not to send me to the factory please!" She spoke as if demanding it. Confused but I was determined to get as much information as possible, I nodded. "Okay, lets start with basics. Your full name is Rainbow Dash and you live in Cloudsdale which is pretty far from here. Ermm... Lets see... You have a job in a factory, a dark, disturbing factory, called the Rainbow Factory... And from what I've gathered after esca-visiting it, you turn ponies... Oh god, well, they blood into rainbows..." she fearfully spoke, dreading the response I would give.

"I-I remember some of it now but something is blocking it... Wait... You escaped it as no one could visit that part of the factory... Why were you there?" I questioned as if I had a hunger for more information.

"My wings... I can't really fly as they can't go in so they are always sticking out... They've made my life hell with all the bullies but that moment me and them bullies were sent to the factory for being failures, something changed... I kinda enjoyed watching them die and it gave me such adrenaline, that I felt immortal and I could do anything and that's how I escaped as I managed to fly!" she spoke but when she got to how she escaped, she cheerfully spoke it.

"Hmmm... Well, now that's all cleared up, back to the original question where is everypony?" I questioned, proud and happy that I've found out more of my shattered memory's. She was about to answer when a stampede of ponies rushed over to us cheering and screaming, yet again with smooth, silver weapons in they hooves.

"Oh Celestia... Come on! We've gotta go!" she spoke, grabbing my hoof and running. "Guessing you can't fly either with the state of your wing!"

"You are very observant, you might come in handy... well if you agree of course!"

"In the factory? Haha! Hell yeah! It would be fun! Oh, by the way my names Obscuro! It mean darkness!" she spoke, speeding up and smiling. My attitude was changing and my thoughts were too. She had unlocked so many memories but also thoughts.

We had been running for about 10 minutes and the ponies were still behind us, but we met a fellow friend of mine.

"Oh! Hello, nice seeing you again!" The Doctor spoke cheerfully with his sonic screwdriver in his mouth making it hard for us to understand a word he was saying.

"Sorry no time to talk! Unless..." I spoke stopping in front of him. "Hey! Obscuro! He can help us!" I called to her and straight away she came back.

"What seems to be the- oh god... yeah, I'll help just quick, get in the Tardis! I don't think them ponies are friendly!" The Doctor spoke sprinting into his blue box. We both ran in and closed the door.

Obscuro's eyes widened at the view inside and she refused to believe this was real. "Ermm... Dash, who is this stallion and what is this?"

Before I could reply to her predicted question, the Doctor charged in with rambles of words to her which gave me time to think on what we should do next.

After much thought and marvellous planning, I knew what to do! "Hey, Doctor! May you take us to the closest clothes shop please?"

He gave a peculiar look towards my request but nodded knowing that it must be important. He started the Tardis up and this was the start to the biggest mistake he ever made!
