Proluge

"Another one!" The rainbow-maned mare exclaimed as she shoved the empty glass to her right , and joined the 15 others.

"Ma'am I think ya had enough." The barkeeper answered polity

"What?! I'm ... I'm not even tipsy!" The mare slurred

"You're kidding right?" The keeper asked sarcastically

"Oh come on, one last drink. Please?" The mare pleaded. The barkeeper just sighed and slid over another hard cider.

"Last one." He said, the mare grinned and took a sip of the drink.

"Hey babe." A voice to her left said

"What?" The mare asked without looking at him

"Come on, don't be like that. Look at me when I talk to you." The voice answered and threw a hoof around Rainbow

"Get... yer hoofs off from me." The mare threatened a bit slurred

"Hey! I said look at me when I talk to you!" The stallion replied sounding a bit angry

"And I told ya to get yer hoofs of of me. And this is my last warning. I give you 5 seconds" Rainbow replied slurred and took another sip from the mug. The stallion started to look even more angry. Rainbow grabbed  the mug and slammed it into his face, the stallion let out a pained scream as the mug broke under the force. The stallion grabbed his head

"You'll pay for that!" He hissed through gritted teeth and slammed into the mare a second later. The two ponies slammed into the ground, The mare kicked the stallion of from her with her back hoofs, sending him flying onto a table, breaking it. The stallion slowly got up grabbed a bottle and threw it at Rainbow. The mare ducked just in time to dodge it, but once again got slammed into the ground as the stallion slammed into her. She started to see him twice as he started to punch at her.Rainbow held her hoofs over her head to keep it save, after the 5th punch she gave a left hook right against his face, this dazed the stallion and then she gave him a right hook and the left again. The stallion jump away from the mare in an effort to get some space, needless to say it didn't work. The swung at him again but the stallion ducked and threw the mare on a table to his right. Rainbow gave out a low groan of pain as she got up, she jumped at the stallion who once again just ducked but this time Rainbow kicked into his face with her left back hoof, which toppled the stallion over, not even a second later Rainbow was on top of him and started to barrage him with punches. She got about 6 in before the stallion got knocked out and the mare was breathing quiet heavily. When she heard somepony clear his throat behind her, she turned her head and her ears fell back at the sight.

Outside the bar Applejack and Twilight walked side by side, Twilight just got back from getting her groceries and Applejack from selling her apples. They talked about how great their day has been so far, that is until they heard a voice shouting and looked at the source

"Hey come on guys! He started it!" The rainbow-maned mare shouted and then got thrown face first into the dirt.

"And stay outside!" One of the two big stallion exclaimed and they walked back inside

"Yeah you better run, before I come for you again!" The mare exclaimed, then grabbed her jaw and started to walk away while she mumbled something no pony could understood

"I'm seriously worried about Rainbow, Applejack." Twilight said

"Yer tellin' me, she's gettIn' worse by the day. Ain't there anythin' we can do for her..." The farm pony pondered

"I'm not sure. Getting dropped from the Wonderbolts really got to her, I think only time will tell." Twilight answered with a sigh

"Ah hope she'll be okay." Applejack mumbled

"We went through worse together." Twilight replied

"And that's what's scary. We went through it together! Ya saw her when tank had ta hibernate, so ah don't know... droppin' outta the Wonderbolts might've been to much." AJ said, concern in her voice

"Come on AJ, we're talking about Rainbow here. The most cockiest pony in all of Equestria. And not to forget, she can ask us if she needs help." Twilight reminded

"Ah guess yer right." AJ figured

"Hey AJ, you want some pancakes?" Twilight asked, the farm pony looked at her confusion written in her face for a second... that was util her stomach grumbled and she gave a small chuckle

"Sure thing Twi." She replied and they made their way to the castle

About an hour later

Applejack was walking down the dirt road to Sweet Apple Acres, her belly full of pancakes. Her brother seemed to be done with his chores. Applejack opened the door to the wooden house and made her way up to her room, she stop on the stairs midway when she heard snoring... and it wasn't Big Macintosh. So when she walked down the stairs again she did that with caution, her eyes widened when she saw a familiar cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane laying on the couch. Applejack turned her head when she heard a wooden stair creak behind her, she saw Big Macintosh walk down the stairs with a blanket on his back.

"Big Mac, can ya tell me what Rainbow is doing' here?" The orange farm pony asked

"Ah found her passed out under a tree, when walking back from mah chores." The red stallion replied

"Seriously? Again" The mare asked

"Eeyup." The stallion answered flatly, Applejack gave out a small chuckle

"Well see ya tomorrow then... both of ya." Applejack said with a yawn and started to make her way up the stairs and into her room again

"Good night." The red stallion replied and threw the blanket over Rainbow and then made his way up the stairs and into his room too

"Wait a minute grandma... how do you know what they did, when you weren't there... or asleep?" Silver Shadow asked

"I'll explain later in another story, just be patient." The cyan pegasus answered. Silver Shadow nodded in acknowledgement

"The next day wasn't too pleasant obviously" Rainbow continued

As Applejack walked down the stairs and into the kitchen she saw Rainbow still sleeping on the couch, she made her way into the kitchen and saw Big Macintosh and Granny Smith already sitting at the table and eating.

"Mornin'" She said and sat down on the bench and started her breakfast

"Mornin'" Both of them replied, before any of them could say anything else they heard a fourth voice

"Mornin' ya'll." Applebloom said and sat down on the bench and grabbed an apple "What's Rainbow doin' here?" She asked

"Big Mac found her passed out yesterday and brought her in." Applejack replied

"Oh my, is she okay?" Bloom asked a bit worried

"Eeyup, she's gonna have one heck of a headache though" Big Macintosh replied and took another bite of his bread, the breakfast was pretty quiet with the exception of Applebloom talking about her adventures with the other crusaders.

"Okay Bloom, it's time fer school." Granny Smith said, the filly grabbed her saddlebags with her lunch in it and made her way to Ponyville

"And you two, better get ready. We got lot's ta do. Big Macintosh yer gonna take the east field, Applejack you'll look for the animals and then take the south field" Granny Smith instructed, the two siblings nodded and finished their breakfast and laid their dishes into the sink and got to work. The old mare smiled as she watched her grand children walk out, she always did. A few seconds later she walked over to the sink and started to clean the dishes, while doing so the old mare heard a groan indicating that the pegasus mare just woke up

"Good mornin', Miss Dash." Granny smith hollered

"Where am I?" The rainbow-maned pegasus asked loudly,  the sound of hoofs walking on wood could be heard a second later

"Why your at sweet apple acres, youngens." The old mare replied

"Again? How is it I always end up here." Rainbow Dash asked rather herself than Granny smith, who just shrugged

"How ya doin'?" She asked

"Better than the last few times..." Rainbow answered with a yawn

"Sit down and eat somethin' it'll help a bit." The earth pony instructed

"How come your telling me that now and not the other times?" Rainbow asked and grabbed a plate and laid a slice of bread with butter on it and started to eat. The old mare again just shrugged

"*Sigh* what am I gonna do..." Rainbow mumbled

"Yer gonna, eat your breakfast and take it easy on the drinking." The old mare answered

"I'm not talking about that... what am I gonna do with my life..." The pegasus replied

"Well what yer good at?" Granny smith asked

"I was good a flying." The mare replied

"Okay better question, what is or was yer dream?"

"Well my dream always has been to be a Wonderbolt... and of course I made it, but now I'm out again... training for over 12 years and get kicked out in about 5 years." Rainbow answered with a sniff

"Why did ya wanted ta be a Wonderbolt?" The earth pony asked

"Except the obvious? Well... it was to... make my mother proud, besides I always loved flying." the mare answered

"And is she proud?"

"I... I don't know." Rainbow answered a bit sadly

"Ya ain't havin' contact anymore?" She asked

"Yeah let's keep it at that." Rainbow answered the pain about the subject could be heard in her voice, Granny Smith nodded

"So a Wonderbolt to honor you mother, and your father?" The old mare asked, Rainbow's eyes widened

"Come to think of it... he was in the Royal Guard..." Rainbow replied

"Royal Guard huh? Well if the recruit times are still the same they she be  recruitin' in a few months." Granny Smith answered

"A few months?! What am I supposed to do until then?!" The mare asked again rather herself than Granny Smith

"Well how 'bout gettin' yer big butt off the couch and start trainin'?" The old mare stated

"Yes! That's a great... wait... what'cha mean by big butt? It's not any big-" The pegasus stopped as she examined her butt, which indeed has gotten bigger from the months of doing nothing except eating and drinking and being in self pity. "ahem... training. yes" Rainbow said

Chapter 1

The next day, 1033 hours (10:33 a.m)

Rainbow woke up, and opened her eyes and looked around. She was confused to where she was for a second, that was until she saw Granny Smith walking down the stairs

"Mornin' Rainbow Dash." The old mare said

"Good morning Granny Smith." The pegasus answered with a yawn and got of the couch, she made her way into the kitchen, grabbed herself an apple and walked outside.

"So how should I begin..." Rainbow pondered

"Well how 'bout push and wingups?" Granny Smith asked, Rainbow jumped a bit at the sudden voice

"Yeah but How many do I do... and only pushups... I don't know..." Rainbow replied

"It's not about the number you do. When my husband was in the guard he started coutin' first when his muscles started ta hurt." The old mare said

"That won't be many though. at least with my wing. And that really isn't a goal is it?" Rainbow replied

"Ya ever heard 'bout the guard challenge?" Granny Smith asked

"The guard challenge?" Rainbow repeated

"Yes. First you do 100 pushups, after that for ya since yer a pegasus, 100 wingups and lastly 100 situps." The old mare explained

"Wow, that's tough... sure I'll try it... the wingups will be the hardest part though, but it's worth a try." Rainbow answered

"Oh, did ah mention in under 3 minutes?" She added, Rainbow's mouth fell open

"What?! I'm not gonna make that with this wing!" Rainbow replied

"The more ya complain the less time ya have for trainin'. After all, if ya get through that there ain't no way yer gonna fail joinin' the guard... Besides even ah nearly managed that challenge when ah was young. And if ya can't even beat an old mare yer not cut out for the guard" The old mare challenged

"Ohh it is on!" Rainbow answered proclaimed

"Good, first step would be ta get yer wing into shape, so go on." Granny Smith instructed , Rainbow saluted and started immediately. Nearly every move she made with her wing brought pain through her whole body, but she wouldn't stop... after all how would she look if an old mare won a challenge against her. After about 20 wingups she had to stop however, the pain got too strong. So to even it out she tried to make 180 pushups, she got to a 100 in the competition against AJ several years back, so 80 more shouldn't be too head. But it seemed like all the months where she did nothing, except drinking did their best to screw her over whenever possible. It took her far too long to get even close to the challenge

"Dammit! I'm far too slow." Rainbow complained loudly

"Jus' keep goin' it ain't 'bout the goal. It's 'bout the yourney there. Yer gotta keep tryin'" Granny Smith answered and walked inside. Rainbow kept on training

30 minutes later

"I.. I'm done." She said to herself

"Then how 'bout her come inside and get yerself somethin' ta drink." A voice replied, Rainbow cringed and looked back confused. Granny Smith stood inside and looked at her cold apple juice in her hoofs. Rainbow smiled and walked up to her and grabbed the drink and started to slurp in an instant.

"Yer gotta get more endurance, Rainbow. Ain't no way yer gonna get that challenge done with that bit." The old mare instructed

"I know." Rainbow replied "How come you know so much about this kinda stuff?" She asked while scratching the back of her head

"From ma husband, when we were young the stallions where forced ta go to the guard and get basic trainin', It stuck with him and I got used to it." The old mare answered

"You sure went through a lot when you where young didn't you." Rainbow stated astonished

"Of course ah did, a bet yer family does too." Granny Smith replied, Rainbow just shrugged

"I couldn't tell ya even if I knew." Rainbow replied a bit sad

"What do ya mean?" The old mare asked a bit confused, Rainbow shook her head

"It's nothing. I better get back to training if I want to get ma dad proud." She added and galloped out the house and started to make her way somewhere

A couple of hours later she came back, breathing heavily and ate something and went to bed when it was about 2300 hours (11 p.m)

The next day's wake up wasn't pleasant at all. Rainbow got snapped out of her dream when ice-cold water hit her directly in the face, she looked around frantically and spotted Granny Smith with an empty bucket in her hoofs

"W-what was t.that for?!" Rainbow asked while shaking

"Yer ta late." The old mare stated, Rainbow looked at the clock which read 0432 hours (4:32 a.m)

"It's not even five!" Rainbow said loudly "What are you even doing here so early?!" She asked

"Helpin' ya ta get yer but moving, if ya gonna sleep in to 11 every day yer never gonna get in the guard." The old mare replied

"And you couldn't like wake me at 8 or something like that?" Rainbow asked with a yawn

"The sooner ya get used ta it the better." The old farm pony explained, Rainbow gave a low growl but got up anyway

"Now get a shower and be here at 5." Granny Smith instructed, Rainbow saluted and as she wanted to make her way to it

"Uhm... where's the shower?" She asked

"Up the stairs, second door on the right." The old mare answered

"Right, thanks." Rainbow replied and made her way up

25 minutes later

"Okay, I'm ready." Rainbow said as she walked down the stairs

"Good. Then let's start the day, get out there and do some PT (Physical Training) until 6." Granny smith answered, Rainbow saluted and walked outside, she started like yesterday. About 20 pushups then 10 wingups and then again 10 pushups as compensation for not doing 20 wingups. After that she did 20 situps She then cantered through Sweet Apple Acres for about 40 minutes, she had to make several pauses though.

0559 hours (5.59 a.m)

As Rainbow walked inside Granny Smith and Big Macintosh already at the table, Applebloom and AJ walked down the stairs to join them.

Chapter ? - Escape

"So this it, Dashie? Your just going to give up now?" A familiar female voice said, Rainbow looked around confused

"Who's there?!" She asked looking around frantically

"You really don't remember us?" Another deeper voice said. Something grabbed Rainbow's cheek and moved her head to the right, what she saw made her jar drop

"M-mom?! D-dad?! ... I... why... How?!" Rainbow tried to form a sentence anything more then a word

"No time Rainbow, you have to get up and out of here." Firefly cut in

"I-I... I can't I, I'm to weak..." She answered looking away

"No your not, your just imagine it." Rainbow Blaze said

"I'm not, I-I'm just to weak" Rainbow started

"Rainbow look at us." Firefly said, the Rainbow-maned mare did so "You are not weak, you are the strongest pony I've ever seen. Most ponies would have either would've died or broke by that torture, but you pushed through." Firefly said and then Rainbow Blaze cut in "Now get your ass up and start moving! Your fight isn't over here!" he shouted, Rainbow didn't know how but for some reason she found new strength, strength she never felt before

"J... just so you two know, you aren't weak." She said as she got up, her parents nodded and Rainbow grabbed the sword again and started to walk down the left hallway, leaving bloody hoofprints behind

"First thing you have to do before you can go is, you have to kill the commanding officer here." Rainbow Blaze said, Rainbow looked at him confused "He's the planner of the Griffin operations, kill him and the griffins will be less organized." He explained and Rainbow nodded "The next thing after that will be to get out of here and back to Fillydelhia, sounds easy surel-" They stopped in their tracks has they heard different sounding steps and quiet talking. Rainbow looked around and tried to find a hiding spot, which was hard in a hallway which had no doors... why somepony would build one without doors, nopony knows.

"There's two of them again" Firefly said

"Hey! What's up you two!" A third voice exclaimed

"Make that three." Blaze corrected. Rainbow leaning against the wall, trying to keep out of sight for as long as possible, to increase her chances to land a perfect hit. They stopped just before turning around the corner, before they could react to the noise behind them Rainbow slashed her sword through the throat of the left, killing him instantly she missed the second one who tried to draw his sword but was kept from it as Rainbow slammed into him and knocked him to the ground and stabbed the sword his through his head.

"Eyes forward!" She heard a shout from behind her, and she just managed to dodge the attack from the third griffin, she moved her left hoof at his claw with the sword in it, keeping the sword away from her and slammed her right hoof into his face, making him fall to the groundl, Rainbow kicked his sword out his claw and held her own against his throat.

"Where's the commanding officer?" She asked

"One floor higher, there's  stairs around the next corner on the left. Walk those up, go right and look at the only door with guards before them." He answered, too scared to even blink. Rainbow used a bit of strength and cut straight through the griffins flesh and she then started to move

Chapter ? - Torture

There was no sound, no sign that anything was in these tunnels, except for the walking that echoed through them. The unconscious rainbow-maned pegasus they carried still bleeding a bit from some of her more serious wounds. In only half good condition to answer questions the griffin commander has the two guards to ordered to carry the wounded mare to the hospital and to get her patched up. As they entered the hospital, nurses started to bandage her up, the griffin guards in the meantime started to talk about to how they would make the little pony talk. They where told that as soon as the pegasus is patched up to bring her into the interrogation room. The two guards looked back at the pegasus examining the already bloody bandages around her body, blood from her right hind leg and her left foreleg, from her right eye and a few smaller blood stains on bandages wrapped around her body in pretty random directions. As finally the last bandage was put around the mares half her body was engulfed in them, the guards finally where able to take the pegasus over to the interrogation room. But since the griffins  didn't expect to really go to war they head very few rooms to interrogate prisoners they had to put her in an room with another pony, the guards couldn't care less, the pony in the room was already chained against the wall and couldn't move a bit, for he is far to weak... but he still wouldn't say anything. This time though the griffins knew they would get the information they knew because this time it wasn't a stallion, it was a mare... and everypony knows, mares can't take as much pain as stallions... at least they thought so. As one of the two guards went to get their commander the other one gave watch. He looked at the mare again so did the stallion on the wall, she was already pretty beaten so it shouldn't take long to break her, the stallion also knew her from somewhere... but he couldn't quiet remember from where, the guarding griffin told the stallion to never speak with the mare, for if he would it would be his last words. As a few minutes later two griffins entered the room one of them carrying two buckets of water and the other nothing it was clear who this was... the commander of them, who as soon he saw the mare snapped his fingers and one of the two buckets emptied over the mare with an splash waking her. She coughed several times because of her pretty dry throat and the stench that assaulted her nose, it smelled like sweat,blood and stale urine. As she tried to move her hoof to hold her nose she found out that she and and looked around frantically but with a blurry and fuzzy vision she could make out nearly nothing, except a few colored dots her and there.

"Good morning." A voice said, Rainbow's ears perked up and she looked at the source and narrowed her eyes, she could make out claws which already told her who this was which meant she knew not to speak to him and looked away. He slapped her once to get her attention

"You're going to answer me a few questions." The griffin said simply

"Pff good joke." Was all the mare answered, the commander nodded at the guard to his left and a second later a fist slammed into Rainbow's stomach nearly making her vomit, she managed to keep it in but she still coughed a few times and looked at the griffin

"I'm not joking. You tell me where the princess and your main force is or... this." He answered pointing at the two griffins on either side of him who cracked their knuckles a disturbing grin on both their faces.

"You can threaten me all you want. But I'm going to make damn sure that I'm not going to talk." She answered and spat on the ground, the big griffin sighed

"Fine have it your way. Just say something when you ready to talk" The griffin said simply and then pointed at the left griffin "As soon you broke her, get me. Just try not to kill her" He added and the griffin nodded and with that the commander left. The griffin turned back to Rainbow and instantly punched her in the face, the pegasus spat out some blood and looked back at the griffin

"That all you got?" She asked with a smirk on her face that got her a punch from the other griffin her smirk was still in place "I've gotten hit harder by Fluttershy and you're supposed to be soldier? Ha my grandma co-" She said but got cut off by another punch but this time in her stomach. Rainbow coughed several times and grinned "There we go your getting close to tickling me."  she said with an laugh. The griffin on the left grabbed Rainbow's throat and started to strangle her

"You better shut the fuck up or this will get very ugly very quickly." He said and let go of her, the mare coughed several times and grinned again

"It's already as ugly it can get with you in the room." She said with a laugh, that got a chuckle out of the second griffin, the one who's just been made a fool of punched the laughing griffin in the face, they then both looked at each other for a second and then started to fight. Punches kicks everything was present, they continued to fight a few minutes. That was until Rainbow started to laugh, the two griffins stopped in an instance and looked at her both narrowing their eyes. They looked back at each other and then jumped on Rainbow they started to punch and kick her with all their might, every hit hurting more then the last. While grunting by every hit she took one of the griffins got impatient to why the pegasus hasn't already given and then walked to the back and grabbed one of the wings from the pegasus and started to pull and twist, which finally made the pegasus scream and that made the griffin smile... finally they found a weak spot. For Rainbow it felt like hours passed the light from the outside wen't darker with every second. The griffin started to lose momentum as their strength slowly faded and suddenly the barrage of punches, kicks, twisting and pulling stopped. She looked up to see the griffins leaving before they wen't out the room they looked at their handy work and then closed the door, Rainbow let out an heavy sigh. She didn't dare to move anything, already from sitting still the pain was greater then any she had till now, with the exception when she broke something... which happened a bit to often in her opinion. She closed her eyes for a second and woke up to water being splashed in her face, the light that came from the window blinded her a bit. "What?! What the fuck happened, I only closed my eyes for a sec-" Her thoughts got interrupted as she was forced to look at the griffins from yesterday.

"So you ready to talk today? Or you want yesterday to look like a cake walk?" He asked, Rainbow simply responded by spitting him in the face

"The mares in my home village punch harder than these 2 clowns here." She answered with a smirk

"I know, that's why I got another idea for today." He answered and looked to the two behind him "You can break a few bones this time. Just remember nothing to live threatening. We still need her." He said to them and then walked out the room again. Once again the griffins cracked their knuckles and went to work, punching, kicking, twisting, pulling everything was present again. Rainbow this was able to not scream this time. That was until she heard her left wing bone being broken and the pain coming a few seconds later, her screams so loud the commanding officer in his room probably heard that scream. But this time she wasn't able to keep away as she slipped into unconsciousness. She was so close to being broken, that was until pictures of her friends appeared before her closed eyes. All those happy moments, all the adventures... if she would spill where the princesses are and where the main force is they could turn the tides of this war in their favor, which meant she couldn't say anything if she wanted her friends to not be either killed or enslaved. The pictures before her where ripped away as once again water was splashed into her face. "This is getting routine..." She thought and was forced like yesterday to look up

"You could just spill it you know. You wouldn't need to go through this..." The griffin said and grabbed a bucket of water and held it in front of Rainbow, who just looked at him confused "Drink." The griffin said simply, Rainbow looked between the water and the griffin who just rolled his eyes and drank a sip himself, to show it's not poisonous or something like that. Rainbow got closer to the water and took a small sip, it was salt water, she tried to take her head away from the water and found out she couldn't, something held her down into the water, she shook her head trying to shake off whatever held her down a few of second later after her shacking got  more vigorous and her vision started to darken her head was pulled out the water and held just above it and forced to look at the commander again. "You see I'm getting quiet tired of this, just tell me where they are and your done and won't be tortured again." He said, a she didn't replied after a couple of seconds and her breathing slowed a bit she once again was forced back down into the water, a few seconds later after her vision started to darken again she was pulled out again. "I'm a very patient griffin but you already wasted 2 days and starting to waste a third day, I'm getting to my limits here." He said and looked her in the eyes trying to scare her, as she once again didn't reply a few seconds later she was forced back down into the water, but this time she saw it coming and took a breath suddenly there was a punch into her right gut forcing the wind out of her and to take a breath and forced her take breath down a bit of water, her head once again being pulled out she coughed several times trying to get the water out her lungs. "Come on help her." The commander said and the griffin to the right of Rainbow punched her into the guts forcing all the wind and with it the water out of her, the big griffin threw the bucket to the ground and grabbed Rainbow's throat so she couldn't breath in enough air "I'm getting pretty edgy right now, but sins it seems you won't talk I'm gonna assume you wasted today too and let my 2 friends here take care of you." He said and let go of Rainbow's throat and walked out the room. The mare looked at both griffins standing before her and rolled her eyes once again the two griffins started to hammer away at her, this was really getting routine...

This time what surprised Rainbow she didn't woke up to water splashed into her face but to a gentle touch on her shoulder. She looked around tiredly and saw a nurse inspecting her wounds and putting on new bandages, the two griffin guards looked at her and every time she jerked grinned as they saw a weak spot. As soon the nurse grabbed Rainbow's broken wing the mare screamed and jolted so hard she nearly broke the wooden chair and now the two had the biggest grin ever, knowing how to easily break the mare now. The nurse walked outside and talked to one of the griffin guards Rainbow could only hear what the griffin said maybe because he said it extra loud to scare her

"So amputate her wing latest tomorrow huh? Leave that to us." The guard said with a disgusting grin while looking at Rainbow and then looked back at the nurse "Of course we're gonna bandage it up right after, ma'am." He added as he saw her glare. The chained pegasus gulped... getting something amputated, not a nice thing to think about, especially when your going to be awake when they do it. As the nurse left, the two guards walked inside and started their assault again... just like they did the last 3 days... today though they seemed to take it a bit more easy as the punches weren't to hurtful that was until they grabbed her wing, her screams once again rang through the hallways but even after a couple of minutes when she still said nothing they gave up far more early then normally... of course she already knew why, to get the stuff for tomorrow ready. She hoped that she would be ready for tomorrow... "Who am I kidding... no pony is ever ready for something like this..." She thought as she closed her eyes trying to get as much sleep as she could to be as tough as she could tomorrow.

Rainbow woke up to talking outside of her room, as the griffins entered with a bag and threw it on the table in the corner of the room... which Rainbow didn't even knew that they even had one inside here, since she didn't really looked around.

"Now then I'll give you a chance. Either answer or lose your wing." One of them said from behind the mare

"I'm gonna lose it anyways so just get it over with." She answered looking at the ground

"We actually can save it" He answered walking in front of the pegasus"That is if you answer the questions. Think about it for a minute. Answer the questions and save your wing or keep quiet and lose it." he added, the mare looked at him thinking hard "Okay answer and keep flying and pretty much take chances and doom Equestria or shut up and lose flight but give Equestria a far better chance... but no more sonic rainbooms, and no more awesome flying... but when I say something will there even be anything left to impress? ... and then ponies say silence is our friend... She thought, as suddenly the griffin broke her train of thoughts

"So what's it gonna be?" He asked looking Rainbow straight in the eyes

"Hmph, do what you have to do, I'm not  going to answer anything." She answered with a determined look and the griffin narrowed his eyes

"Fine, have it your way. Just get used to the name: One winged pegasus." He replied, smirked and walked back behind the mare who gulped and tried to get herself as ready as possible, suddenly her wing was grabbed and forced to spread out, she was able not to scream but still grunted at the pain, then silence fell. Rainbow heard how one of the griffins tested the saw on a bit of wood to see if it sharp enough, a second later he stopped and moved over to the mare. Rainbow felt how the saw was presses against her wing

"Last chance, deal or no deal?" The same griffin asked

"Just get it over wi-" She tried to answer but got cut off as the griffin suddenly started to saw, Rainbow screamed on top of her lungs, she was not prepared that they would start even when still talking. The mix of the pain and the grinding of bone made Rainbow vomit like so many times before, but she right after felt herself slip away, into what she hoped was long sleep. To her displeasure she was once again woken as water dripped down her head. Her eyes this time didn't flew open and she didn't looked around frantically, no this time her eyes only opened very slowly. She was tired she was hurt... she couldn't keep this up forever, eventually she is going to break and she was nearing that point.

"Day 6 and still nothing said... gotta give it to you, your determined..." The commanding griffin said and then looked at the griffin to his right "I really hate to do this... use the last option, she is close to being broke and this will surely brake her." He said to the griffin guard who just saluted and started to take of his armor. The commanding griffin walked out of the room followed by the second guard.

"So" Rainbow started with an cough "What's it going to be this time... my left hind leg? My right wing?" She asked looking at the griffin

"Not even close. I'm going to do something not even close to what we've done until now." The griffin replied

"And that would be?" Rainbow asked with an raised eyebrow

"Rape." The griffin said simply, Rainbow's eyes widened. The guard finally got out the last piece of armor now only his weapon on him and slowly walked over to the now quivering mare, he un-cuffed her hind legs and grabbed them. The griffin positioned himself right between her legs ready to rut her.

"Your giving up?" He asked a smirk on his face, he would win either way... either they get the information or he would get to have sex.

"Dare and you'll regret it." Rainbow threatened.

"I'll take that as a no then." He said and moved closer, he teased her by rubbing her once. That was it, she lost all control as she snapped. Her mouth moving lighting fast, bit into his throat, the griffin could neither scream for help nor fight back as the mare used her hind legs to try and keep his claws away, no matter what the griffin did Rainbow just overpowered him, and with every parsing second the griffin got weaker and after a few more seconds he finally fell into an ever lasting sleep. The mare wasn't done thought, she moved her hind legs to grab the weapon, she moved the point of the sword to the cuffs around her forelegs and used the griffin as leverage as she broke the chain holding the cuffs together, she pushed the griffin of from her. As the griffin outside heard the thud but no other sound he slowly made his way over to the door and opened it. Before the griffin could react Rainbow slammed into him, knocked his sword out his claw and bit him in the throat. This griffin though had more fighting will and tried everything to get her away, but no matter wat Rainbow wouldn't let lose. The griffin tried too move his right claw to the mares throat, who felt 3 of his fingers on her throat and shoved the claw away which had the effect that the fingers on the mares flesh ripped into it, not very life threatening but it still hurt badly, Rainbow just responded with biting even harder, using the the pain as fuel. And finally the second griffin went limp. The mare tumbled back into the room, she looked herself over. She was covered in blood, cuts and bruises, she got up after a few seconds and grabbed the first griffins sword. "Why the fuck didn't I use the sword... And what's that taste?" She thought and tried to find out by tasting, then she remembered the bit out flesh from the first griffin... but never spit it out, and that was the limit. She vomited a couple of times, she leaned against the wall for support. She felt so weak, so tired but she had to move... at least somewhere a bit safer, but she had no strength left.

"So this is how it feels when your broke..." She whispered
