"So, why do you want to go to a clothes shop?" the Doctor questioned cautiously walking over from the futuristic devices he activated not long ago.

"Well, I'm not just going to go out to be killed! I need a disguise of course if I want to continue my legacy!" I joyfully spoke, smiling as if I lost all sanity. Obscuro looked towards me with concern on if my plan would work or not but the Doctor looked frightened as if I was about to harm him.

"Err... Dash, what do you mean 'legacy'?" he questioned, slowly but surely, backing away from me.

"Oh you know, being that Pegasus who can do many of amazing things!" I replied and I was sure that I was going back to my old ways but I had to make sure he wouldn't know of the factory. "of course, not bad stuff just being good!"

"hmm... Okay, well it'll be a while till we get there so wonder around if you want, better then sitting here haha!" he laughed turning back to his strange device.

I rose up and signalled to Obscuro to follow me.

After 5 minutes of walking and peaking through a small quantity of the Tardis' rooms, we settled down in a small room.

The room had sky blue walls, a bright green carpet and a two cozy seats. We sat on them and I looked towards Obscuro who was trying to make her wings go in.

"Obscuro!" I shouted at last, jumping from the seat with anger. She fearfully looked up.

"Y-yes?" she stuttered.

"Well you stop bucking playing with your wings! The rustling is getting on my nerves!" I angrily shouted towards her.

"Sorry..."

I sighed "well anyway, I want to talk about the factory... Why did it get destroyed? And don't say the obvious!"

"Oh, well, a few years ago, Celestia found out and changed the way you make rainbows and everypony was happy! Well, that's what we thought but Dr Atmosphere, I think his name was, went back to his old ways and then strangely you did even after you protested against him! Still confuses me but anyway, more ponies went missing over time and Luna noticed that the factory was still going at night so she told Celestia... Of course, Celestia went over straight away and saw what was happening so ordered the factory to be closed down but other ponies thought that they should do more... Then you kinda know the rest..." Obscuro spoke getting quieter the more she talked. I looked at her, speechless on what to say but the only thing that came to mind was that mare I saw earlier.

"W-was there once a mare of orange coat and purple mane there?" I questioned. She gave a confused look but soon nodded.

"Can you not remember her?"

"No, was she important?"

"She was your sister! Sadly, she died before Celestia found out... Some ponies managed to come out of the factory and told us that her name was Absentia but once they described what she looked like, everypony knew straight away who this pony was and her real name was Scootaloo... She was a nice filly, I was a friend of hers but I was sent away to Hoofington with my parents..." Obscuro looked down with tears in her eyes.
...
"Any last words?"

"You have beautiful eyes..."
...

"No... She's not dead... I saw her! She can't be!" I screamed punching the wall.

"Dash, she's dead! I killed her!" Obscuro shouted. I quickly turned around and ran to her, pinning her down to the ground.

"Why? Why did you kill my sister?" I screamed with tears down my face. Obscuro's eyes widened and her face flooded with fear.

"D-dash, what are you talking about?"

"You said that you killed her! Why did you do it?" I shouted hitting her in her all ready bruised face. She broke down crying and I soon jumped back known she didn't say anything. My brain was messing with me. "I'm so, so sorry! I didn't mean it..." Obscuro got up and walked towards me.

"Whatever happened to you has really messed you up! You've been hearing and seeing stuff haven't you?" she gently and calmly spoke.
...
"Come on Dash, join me! We can control the skies together!"

"No! Stop this madness right now!"

"You're not just going to do it the easy way are you? Well fine, if that's how you want it!"

"Ahhhhh!"
....
"Dash? Dash! Come on get up! Oh Celestia... Ermm... Doctor! Help!"
...
"Now don't struggle Dash! Let the machine do its work!"

"Stop it! Just stop this!"
...
"Come on Dash! Get up, please!"

I opened my eyes, screaming with sweat dripping from my face.

"Dash, are you all right?" Obscuro spoke bursting in to the room. I looked to her with relief that I was still in the Tardis.

"What happened? I can't remember anything but you screaming..." I questioned sitting up.

"You passed out but you were hitting the air as if defending yourself but also screaming! What was that about?"

"I presume it was flashback of some sorts between her and a stallion... I did some analysing on the situation if you're wondering how I came up with that conclusion!" the
Doctor spoke interrupting me and Obscuro.

"Where the buck did you come from?!" Obscuro spoke jumping up.

"None of your business!" he retaliated back. "So anyway, was my prediction correct Dash?"

"I-I don't know... I think it was but I can't tell... I need to find out!" I spoke climbing out the bed I laid in but I soon stopped and looked towards Obscuro. "Obscuro, do you know when I said you might come in handy, what did you say?"

She gave a bizarre look but willingly answered "I said that I couldn't go back there as its too disturbing!"

"What about when you saw them bullies getting, you know?"

"That it was horrible to see and I was so desperate to get out, I flue out as best as I could."

"B-but you... I think I'm going mad!" I hysterically screamed looking down at the floor.

A few moments passed and the Tardis shuddered signalling that we've arrived at our destination. "Come on, time for you two to leave! I've got to go! But nice meeting you two and I hope to see you again but Dash, you shouldn't keep secrets bottled up... Just remember that!" The Doctor firmly spoke shaking my hoof. I didn't understand what he meant until I realised that he knew all along about the factory... If I told him earlier he might have helped me but its in the past now.

"Yeah, I'll remember that and thanks for everything!" I joyfully spoke walking out of the room and into the twisted corridors with Obscuro by my side.

We got to the bright, main room and said our goodbyes and left.

"So, where are we?" Obscuro questioned looking around the dark scenery that surrounded us.

"Hmmm... Ponyville I think... Ponies must've wrecked this place in the hunt for me, after all, I did come here constantly!" I replied looking around myself trying to recognising any buildings that survived the brutal attack.

"Well anyway, we're here so I guess you need that disguise don't you... I'll wait out here for you!" Obscuro smiled. I nodded and walked in to what seemed to be the last intact building there was.
