Previous ChapterRainbow Dash had been called in to her boss's office. Why?, she had no idea. She had done nothing wrong.
Well, in terms of the Factory.
The only reason she could have gotten caught was if someone found out about the scandal last week. Honestly, she hadn't meant to shove all those ponies off the side of Cloudsdale. She only needed to punish Scootaloo. Nothing else had mattered at that moment. Her freshly starched coat felt rough against her fur. She gingerly brushed the door to the office open. She had never even learned the name of her boss.
The door was yanked open-seemingly be no one. Rainbow gasped a bit. This meant a unicorn ruled the factory-then she inhaled sharply. A chill ran down her spine.
Not a unicorn-an allicorn.
Which princess? Luna? Celestia? Cadence? Or-dare she guess-Twilight? All seemed just as unlikely as the others. She walked in, holding her breath.
To no surprise, the pony had chosen to wear a hood over her face, thus concealing her face. Rainbow noted she was too small to be Celestia. Luna would be her first guess, especially with her past, but she would have no reason to be doing this. Pegasi proved no opposition to her plans, plus she was much larger as Nightmare Moon, which would be her form if she was here. Cadence seemed a unlikely pony to try to kill massive amounts of ponies, but she had been a pegasus (not common knowledge, it had taken hours of searching through all the old flight test records, an old assignment of hers when she was still scared of the blood in the deeper parts of the factory). Twilight was the option Rainbow had the hardest even considering. How could such a innocent, diehard student blatantly oppose Equestria, committing high treason? Not to mention she hated blood. The only guts she could read about were fictional (to be fair, the books she read on a daily basis gave even Rainbow chills). But she couldn't even comprehend that. The pony that was one of her first, and best, friends, betray her?
"Ah, shocked yet Rainbow?," the hooded figure said, "and yes, I am a allicorn" The clever pony had used a disguise for her voice. Rainbow took a step forward. The hooded figure looked up, then spoke.
"Oh, Rainbow. I can't even tell you how good it is to have you here," she said, as if she wasn't a murderer, as if she had no barrier between the fiction of her outside life and the one in the factory. She pulled her head up, and looked Rainbow right in the eye.
Purple eyes.
She knew those eyes. Only one pony with them.
Twilight Sparkle, princess of friendship.
Mastermind behind the Rainbow Factory.
