Prologue: Dealing With Dr. Atmosphere

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

It was a peaceful night in Cloudsdale, and everypony was sleeping soundly in the security of their homes. At least, almost everypony. One lone, cloaked figure made his way towards a large house with a sign in front of it, which read: Property of the newly deceased Rainbow Dash. The disguised figure knocked forcefully on the door, but no one answered. The figure knew who lived there. It also knew that its target was home. The property in question belonged to one Doctor Hide Atmosphere, former co-manager of the Rainbow Factory. The pegasus was under witness protection, but his hunter was persistent. There was a perimeter of guards around the premises, but they were... out, for the moment. They were systematically silenced by the figure's teaser. The figure removed his cloak, revealing himself to be a green pegasus with a black vest. This pony was Siphon Green, and he was determined to make Atmosphere pay.

Siphon kicked down the door, triggering several alarms. He knew exactly how much time he had before the authorities arrived. It was enough to get the job done. As he rummaged through the building, he spotted a dark-red pegasus bolting down a hall. Determined to not let his target escape, Siphon pursued. Atmosphere was fast, but not fast enough. Siphon easily caught the pegasus and threw him into a nearby wall. He then punched Atmosphere in the ribs, knocking the wind out of him. As the dazed pony gasped for air, he rattled off a few questions.

"Wh-who are you, and *cough cough* what do you want from me?" Seeing that there was no possible way for Atmosphere to escape, Siphon decided to answer his questions.

"I'm Siphon Green, Cloudsdale Weather Corporation enthusiast, and I want you to shut up and take your punishment like a good traitorous bastard." Siphon pulled out his teaser. It was a standard CWC-licensed model, once used on rebellious filly captives. Atmosphere knew what his captor wanted.

"Look, I did what was best for the corporation. That factory relied on inefficient methods. I merely wanted it to be more cost-effective is all. Besides, who would want to grind up little fillies anyway?" Siphon responded.

"I would."

"Why? What kind of monster are you?" At this notion, Siphon's once green eyes turned a rather familiar shade of crimson. One that Atmosphere knew all too well. "Rainbow Da-" ZAP! A now possessed Siphon fired the teaser, immobilizing Atmosphere. Once Atmosphere was out for good, Rainbow Dash flew off in Siphon's body to collect much-needed documents, crashing into several walls in the house. By the time she dragged Atmosphere away, her old house was a mess. Meh, she thought as she flew away clumsily with Atmosphere and the documents on top of the body she was currently possessing, I can let my friends clean it up for me.
