War has left Rainbow Dash with many regrets. She is alone and trapped in the mind games of a military artificial intelligence gone mad. Or is she? It's hard to tell what is real and what isn't with AM...

A contest entry for F*** THIS PROMPT! #3.

The (rather difficult) prompt was "A Princess duels a character from a 'mature audiences only' franchise." I chose to cross over with the world of "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream". Originally a short story published in 1967, it was later adapted into a video game by the same name in 1995, which developed and expanded the plot, characters, and the inner workings of AM.
