Scootaloo started crying at those words. You look at her, then at your blood-covered hooves. You start to feel angry, but not at Scootaloo. At yourself. You hear a faint sound of ponies behind you, waiting for you to get the job done, taking away the little filly forever... from you. You look back at the pegasi staring at you. Your throat tightens and you try to speak. What do you do? Obey the law of your own job... or yourself?
Scootaloo speaks again, " They really are beautiful... a-and I thought you and I were friends..... I thought.. you... cared." Scootaloo says bursting back into tears. You now turn dark red and face the line of pegasi in anger.
"Who are you? What have you done to me?! Look at her- poor and helpless and homeless, but you want to kill her?! What have you done to yourselves? Look at you, covered in blood and armor, and regret... like me..." You see the pegasi exchange glances. One takes off his armor and trows in into the air, crashing it to the metal floor.
"She's right! What good does it do ta be here, doin' a terrible job like this? What if you were here, gettin' hurt against your will?" He said, smacking the others. They took off their helmets and other things and one of them smile at you. You feel proud and also, a mob of ponies beating up the ones that tried to stay and keep the factory going. You look at Scootaloo, who is being released by a stallion looking at you.
"Hey, thanks for setting things right. You really are a hero." He said handing you Scootaloo in his hooves. Scootaloo quickly hugs you and starts crying tears of joy. Twilight and the rest, along with the crusaders stare at you. You know they will hate you forever, but your best friend, Twilight, comes and hugs you.
"Dashie, it's okay." She says, nuzzling you. She lays a wing over you and says something you coould not picture, but you agree.
Wooden toaster... the name makes you shiver. He stood over a control panel humming and flicking levers. You, Twilight, Apple Jack, and Derpy stand behind him, waiting for the signal. A yellow filly, Aurora, is seen under a machine with a screwdriver-like object connected to it. Scootaloo pounced onto Wooden Toaster who yelped. You can't help but go and help, along with the rest. The mob of ponies tie him in a rope and knock him out.
You stare at Wooden Toaster and smirk. About ten ponies, plus your friends are there, too. Derpy is holding two blades in her hooves as you stare at the helpless pegasus in metal cuffs. You anxiously wait for a while then you say what you said to Scootaloo.
"Any last words, FAILURE?" You feel good to say it to the right pony THIS time, but he says something.
"I-I love you Rainbow D-Dash!" he says with tears.
"Derpy, show him what I mean." You say flatly, as Derpy brings down the blades.
Almost a year has passed, and you are now jobless. Luckily, Scootaloo is not homeless, but lives with Aurora for now. She is moving back to her family next year, and you sigh. Once again, you are proud of yourself.
All the words you clearly remember was that thing Scootaloo had said to you. Beautiful eyes? I don't have them.. you think. You look back to the past, remembering all the fillies Equestria has lost when you didn't do a thing about it. You feel terrible. Like...... a bully.... even worse...a villain. But, you try to remember that you don't need to look to the past, but to the future.
