A small philly named Deadshot had taken the flying test and he had failed. He knew he would be taken someplace, but where? He notices the Rainbow Factory and is panicked. Will Deadshot escape or become the shiniest rainbow Equestria has ever seen.

No one know where the rainbows came from. Some say they have machines to make the colors, but others say they just make it like they make the weather. These two ponies are totally wrong. Only the factory workers know what goes on behind those gates.

Chapter 1

Once I woke up I looked at my clock, it was 10:00 a.m. My mom,Glittershine, had called me downstairs to eat breakfast. My mom had a dark red mane, purple eyes like mine, she is a cyan color like that daring pony Rainbow Dash, and she is also a Pegasus. One day i hope to grow up and be a weather pony like Rainbow Dash. I remember the nightmare i had last night but i didn't tell my mom because she worries too much about me. Once i finished eating, I got up and asked my mom something.

"Mom, did you ever have to take the flight test?"

"Of course,honey, all Pegasi had to take take it," she can tell I was curious."why did you ask?"

"I was just wondering what happens to all the Pegasi that fail the test."

"Well, if it's any better I heard that the ponies who do fail the test get sent away from Ponyville  for a while, but later on in about 4-5 years the ponies are able to return and live their lives like they used to."

I went over to Scootaloos house and I saw him with no other than RainbowDash, she had offered to help us practice for the test. She explained to us everything we need to know about the test. First, fly around 10 obstacles without messing up. Second, clear the sky as fast as you can. and Finally, land on the landing pad as quickly as possible no time can be wasted. Rainbow Dash had told us to count how many seconds she could clear the sky in. Scootaloo and I started counting and at 6 seconds she disappeared from the sky, we found her behind us and the sky cleared. We were amazed and we practiced until finally it was time for the test. Scootaloo prepared himself he was 1st and I was 2nd. I saw that Scootaloo messed up on the clearing obstacles, he was told to wait down in a small space where there stood two ponies with black suits. They look kind of like spies. I guessed that they were judges or something and they would criticize the failure ponies on what they did wrong. It was my turn to go, the clearing obstacles wasn't very hard for me, But clearing the sky as fast as I can i failed that one because it took me 30 seconds to do it when it should have only taken me 20 or below to pass that part. As did Scootaloo, I was told to wait in the same spot.

"Nice try, right?" I can tell he was nervous he didn't think he would fail.

"Yea, we did good don't worry,"

"Worried? I'm not worried, who said i was worried, hahaha,"

wow really nervous, i thought to myself.

The test was finished and Scootaloo, some other pony, and I had failed the test. Now as my mom said we would be banished from Ponyville, but instead the pony with the white suit said to get in the truck. We did as we were told. We could hear someone speaking from the walkie talkie the pony had on him. The voice sounded familiar but i didn't give any mind to it, I was more frightened of what would be coming next. The truck had started driving and the pony said something in the walkie talkie, all i could make out was "on their way" and the familiar voice once again began to speak until it had stopped and everything fell silent, so silent that you can hear the the hoofs of ponies from the race.

We've been on this truck for 2 hours until it came to a halt. The door started rattling and once the pony opened it the light revealed a different mare before our eyes. This mare had green eyes with the same white suit. I turned around and the sight was the most horrifying  sight I've ever seen. It was the Rainbow Factory right before my eyes. I questioned what we were doing here because us three ponies had failed the test. We had to follow the mare into the factory and came to a stop in front of two doors.

"Behind this door is someone that would like to talk to you before we "Banish" you", the mare looked kind of sad.

We headed through the two doors, Behind them was a pony sitting in a chair but no just any pony... it was RainbowDash. She stood up and told us to follow her. We sat down in some chairs and then we waited for a while. Then RainbowDash burst through the door and pointed at the pony that we didn't know the name of. He was told to follow RainbowDash and so he did. Once the pony left it felt like hours until RainbowDash came back and got Scootaloo this time.

"How could you fail like this Scoots," RainbowDash felt sorry for Scootaloo. "I'm sorry it has to be like this."

Scootaloo followed RainbowDash out of the room. I wasn't going to sit around and wait to see what happens to me. I looked through the door and RainbowDash had...had thrown Scootaloo into a machine and he was now dead with his wing torn off and his cutie mark was cut out. I let out a soft whimper, RainbowDash had killed...killed Scootaloo! A tear came trickling down my face as i sat back and waited for my turn to come. Five hours later RainbowDash came to the room to get me. I followed him out of the room and into the machines, but before he cut off my wings i bucked him in the muzzle and started running. She pressed a red button and the alarms went off.

"Get back here,Deadshot, It's for the best,"

"How? By taking us and killing all the failures of Ponyville?" I was angry.

I flew away into the distance. Once i thought I lost RainbowDash I sat down in a corner and rested. She had found me and flew down, she held a knife in her hand. She ran at me in full speed and there was no way i could escape. Before i could it was too late she had cut my wings off. There i laid my eyes blacking out. I looked to my sides and my wings were  on the floor and blood spewing from my body. I wondered if I'll be able to escape even like this. I let out a chuckle.

"heh, probably not," now RainbowDash was the only one deciding what to do with me. I'll have a cruel death.

Goodbye mom, I thought to myself and then blacked out comepletely.

Prologue

Hi there, my name is Deadshot I'm 13 years old, I have a red mane, I'm kind of a purple color and on top of that I'm a Pegasus. I'm really nervous about tomorrow because it's going to be the biggest day of my life. Tomorrow is the flying test and I'm going to pass it. I went over to Scootaloo's house, he is also taking the test. He told me he wasn't nervous but I can tell he was lying because... well, everyone gets nervous before the flying test. Ok so I don't have a good reason but I can still tell.

"Don't worry, Deadshot, the test is going to be a breeze," Scootaloo sounded confident which was a good thing.

"I know it's just that no pony knows what happens to the failures which gets me kind of scared... what if i fail?" Scootaloo saw tension in my voice.

"An awesome flyer like you failing? oh pleases, there's no way," We both laughed, that got me calmed.

Later that night I got on my bed and fell asleep. I was getting ready for the test and once it began i had already failed. I was taken to the Rainbow Factory and while I was there I saw Rainbow Dash. she wielded a blade in her hands. she ran at me at all fours and then I woke up. Breathing heavily.

"huh? it was just a dream?" I sat up from bed and saw the time. 2:30 in the morning.

I got up and brought myself a nice warm glass of milk and fell back asleep. This time i had no dreams or nightmares. I slept perfectly.
