Rainbow Factory: FLY | Chapter 3

Ponyville SchoolHouse, March 24 Friday, 9:02 AM

Today was the day.

The day that I have to interact with kids as a substitute teacher for the schoolhouse.

A day after the Pinkie Pie Fiasco, everything was fine afterwards the whole thing, although I noticed how Twilight was in melancholy when I went to the Library to read up on something for the kids to use, as Spike said to not make too much sound when I entered. There was nothing major for me to care about there, but I can understand Twilight here. I didn't believe that Pinkie was a serial killer either until the day she did those horrible things to me. So I didn't care much because I really didn't know Pinkie that well, and wasn't really close to him.

I spent the entire day yesterday making the visual aids that I'm going to use for the kids today so I think I am ready for the session. Apparently I have two hours of class so I can do anything in the first hour. I thought of doing introductions on the first half of the hour so I have to make that quick. I heard that there are 24 pupils in the school house so I really have to hurry.

I arrived at the red school house 2 minutes after recess, It was like a small house with a playground beside it, and a bell on the roof. Basically it was like your ordinary school house. The kids where outside playing, running around with their friends, tasting the sweet perfume of the grass some rolled on. I shook my head with a smile on my face, seeing how innocent they are. Opening the door, I saw Ms. Cheerliee Checking a stack of paper, she turned to face me and I greeted.

"Good Morning, Ms. Cheerliee" I formally greeted, she placed her red pen down and smiled at me. I walked in the room, The room was just your basic Classroom, Individual Chairs and Tables for each of the pupils here in the school house, the teacher's table with a black board in the front. Some windows and BookShelves at the sides. While observing the place, I heard Ms. Cheerlie say something to me.

"Good Morning Mr Tinker Gear. Are you ready the teach the kids?" She asked with an expectant smile. I smiled back.

"I'll be ready as I'll ever be" I said, as I showed her my saddlebag filled with rolls of Cartolinas and some papers spewing out of it. She stared at it with a surprised look. Instincts turned on.

"Is it a bit too much?" I nervously asked her. She shook her head and her face formed into a smile.

"Oh heavens no. I would say that it's excellent for you to be prepared for our pupils her on the school" She said as she prepared to grab her saddlebag.

"Oh, Thank you Ms. Cheerliee" I said. I inwardly sighed in relief as I calmed down.

"Well, I wish you luck in teaching the kids new things Mr. Gear" She told me, as she was about to walk outside the door.

"Thank you Ms. Cheerlie" I said waving her goodbye. I began to drop my saddlebag, write my name on the board and taping the cartolinas on the board. I sat down as I eagerly waited for the bell to ring, saying that their hour of recess is done.

~~~~~~~~~~

RINNGGG!

I awoke with surprise as the school bell rang loudly, Some drool was on my face and on the table. I hurriedly wiped the drool off my face and on the table with a piece of paper.

The pupils walked in groups, some talking to each other, some looked at me with a confused look but shrugged and continued to their seats. I waited until the last pony was seated, and started to talk.

"Good Morning everypony, I'm Tinker Gear and I'll be your substitute teacher for math" I said nervously, as I underlined my name.

"Good Morning Mr. Tinker Gear" The class collectively said and I chuckled.

"Oh don't call me Mr. Tinker Gear, just call me Tink or Gear" I said, I wanted to act like Blaze and instead of having a teacher - student relationship. I want to be a friend to them, and formalities doesn't quite pick the relationship.

"Okay, let's start with introductions and roll call" - I sat down on my chair and grabbed the paper with their names on it - "Let's start, with Tootsie Roll"

~~~~~~~~~~

"Up next is Diamond Tiara" I looked up too see a pinkish earth pony filly with a tiara stand up with her nose up like a rich snob in Canterlot.

Oh boy I thought exasperatedly.

"Hello Mr Tinker Gear. My name is Diamond Tiara, the richest pony in the entirety of Ponyville. You may have noticed the diamond Tiara on my head, I'll tell you about it, It all sta - " The entire classroom groaned, have they heard this a thousand times?

"Oh shut up will you?! The story of my beautiful tiara is more than important than all of your nonsensical introduction" She told the entirety of the class. Has to be one of them huh?

"Anyway it all started when -"

16 minutes of boring Diamond Tiara story later

"...And I finally got my Diamond Tiara, and I wish to continue my family's riches by being them in the future" She finished finally. The class sighed in relief after her story on how she made her dad buy her a diamond tiara. I could already tell that she is a spoiled brat from a mile away.

"I hope you can get that dream in the future Diamond Tiara" I said, as she "hmph - ed" when she sat down. I looked at my list and found only three ponies left in the paper, I smiled in relief finally I could start the discussion after these fillies.

"Okay, now AppleBloom?" I voiced out. A yellow filly with a red hair and a big red bow stood up.

"Howdy Mr. Tinker Gear. Mah name's AppleBloom, and I'm the little sister of Applejack. I live in the Sweet Apple Acres and I'm a part of the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" She exclaimed the word. This raised my eyebrow.

"Oh? and what is this Cutue Mark Cursaders" I asked Applebloom. I could see Diamond Tiara roll her eye when I asked her. She smiled and gladly explained.

"The Cutie Mark Crusaders is a group me, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo made. Our goal is to find what we are best at doing! Which means our Cutie Marks!" She exclaimed and raised her right fore hoof. This made me smile and I nodded.

"Then I wish you the best of luck then Applebloom" I told her with a smile. She nodded and took her seat. I looked down at the paper, two more.

"Next up, Sweetie Belle" I called, a white coated unicorn with pink and purple stripes in her curly mane stood up.

"Good Morning everypony, my name is Sweetie Belle, I am the little sister of Rarity right down the Carousel Boutique. I help my sister sometimes but I mess up. I also am part of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I hope to follow my sister in the future, or be what I was destined to be in the future" She said, then she sat down.

"That's a good perspective Sweetie Belle. I encourage to do keep finding what you are good at" I said, she nodded in return.

"Up next is Scootaloo" I looked at the last pony, an orange Pegasus filly stood up.

"Hi there, my name is Scootaloo. I have my parents back at cloudsdale, but I'm staying here with my aunts to go to school. I look up to my Idol Rainbow dash, Who is the most awesomest, coolest, fastest mare in the entirety of equestria! I wish to become just like her, she wants to be a wonderbolt, then I want to be a wonder bolt" She told me, then I smiled as I was reminded of all the wonderbolt show I been in when I was her age.

"Ahh, that's a big aim, I heard that you have to pass a flight test when your older" I told her.

"I know that my flying is a bit lacking, but with Rainbow Dash's help, I know I can pass that flight test no sweat" She replied. I smiled at her determination.

It was 45 minutes at the introduction of the foals of their new substitute teacher and to tell them some things about themselves. It was time to start class. Showing one of the cartolinas on the board, some activities has been revealed. The Cartolinas showed fraction calculations and some solutions and problems.

It was time to start. I could also feel a migraine coming on

~~~~~~~~~~

Ponyville SchoolHouse, March 24, Thursday, 12:01 PM

The bell rang as I was explaining fraction, I looked at the time and it was 12:01 so it was lunch time for the foals.

"Alright class, you have been dismissed, just pass your papers to miss Cheerliee after you take your lunch" I spoke to the foals, the all said "yes" in reply.

I nodded in return, as I started to remove the cartolinas off the board. Then I returned them in their bag. I have to go back home to place all mu stuff there, then eat lunch.

I walked outside the school house to see the fillies and colts eating their lunches, that made me hungry and I told myself to go faster so that I can start munching on some sweets.

The migraine is even more painful now

~~~~~~~~~~

Tinker Gear's House, March 24 Friday, 12:21 PM

I opened the door to my house to find a messy place, paper clippings, markers, and extra rolls of cartolinas on the floor. I think that I have 30 minutes to clean the place so I'll clean it. Placing my saddlebags on the bed, I grabbed my broom and dust pan and started to broom away. Picking up all the markers strewn about the place and putting them back at the right place, sweeping off the dust and paper clippings on the floor to the dustpan and throwing them to the trash bin. And placing my cartolinas in my resources cabinet where I keep all my paper related stuff.

Looking at my wall clock, I had 12 minutes before 1 o'clock. Knowing I have to go to the workshop at 2 o'clock, I took my sweet time and placed my cartolinas in my saddlebag to where it belongs.

After that, I sat down my bed, and took a breather. The migraine was getting worse, and I think I'm going to need some Tylenole.

When I stood up, I the world began to spin, I was stumbling and was dizzy. The migraine was unbearable, and I stumbled to my bed. Lying on my back, I was starting to get sleepy. The black voids around my eyes started to form.

Then everything was black.

~~~~~~~~~

??????? ?? ???? ???

I awoke in a groggy manner, cracked open an eye and stood up, the migraine still hitting me but, bearable. Standing up, I checked the time, 2 o'clock. Eye's wide open and in shock. Time flew by so quickly that I am late for work. I went to get my saddlebag that I placed on the bed when I returned all the cartolinas, but it wasn't there. Finding it, I stumbled on my calendar hanging on the I checked the date.

"August 24 2019?" I despondently questioned. I stared at the calendar for a few more seconds. Raising my right hoof, I aimed it on my face and punched myself hard to make myself stumble in hoping that this was a dream. That hurts a lot, so I looked back at the calendar to see no difference.

So the Time Traveling Stone is real. I just travel to 6 years in the future in a migraine. This has to be real, otherwise I wouldn't have felt pain when I hit myself I then walked to my mirror to check myself out.

No difference, still the same age and still the same body when I last saw myself last 6 years ago when I fell unconscious I eyed my entire body to double check. Seeing no difference, I nodded in realization.

When I Time Travel to the future, I don't change at all, not even age? I thought as new information was clear.

Walking outside my door, I see ponyville still being the same ponyville as ever, same ponies although there are some new faces that are not familiar to me, new shops and new structures that was ... well new.

I walked down, greeted someponies hello, until I walked to the mane hall, checking to see if the missing ponies are back.

Better not be the maniac Pinkie Pie being a serial killer again. I Cringed, as the memories flooded back. I shook them all off and forced them in the darkest place in my mind.

I scanned to see nothing of the sort, I mentally sighed in relief. But I saw something that was quite Shocking to me.

All Pegasi in ponyville proceed to Cloudsdale to do your compulsory flight test in 3 o'clock in the afternoon on August 24 2019. Meet up at the flight school and we'll take that there with the Final Flight schoolers. Don't worry about if it will be over populated, the Coudsdale ponies has already done theirs last week. Don't miss this, or you'll regret. I read silently. It was late August so the final flight test is bound to be today or at least this week. But why are the pegasi in ponyville a part of this?

No sense in questioning this, this is compulsory as the paper said. I remember my old fight school before I graduated in Mechanical Engineering and it was just simple aerobatics. Warming up my wings, I prepared to fly. I don't really use my wings much, but when I do I am pretty descent at it.

I started to fly to the floating city made of clouds.

This has not to be the same as the Pinkie Pie Incident.

~~~~~~~~~~

Cloudsdale Flight School, August 24 Saturday, 2:42 PM

I have arrived at the flight school and I saw the registration table, I went there and wrote some basic information of mine and went in the colleseum to see a hooful of pegasi waiting for the Cloudsdale Official to arrive. Being the awkward pony I am, I stayed at the back of the flock and waited with them. I heard a familliar voice behind me.

“C’mon, Orion! We’re gonna be late for our final test!” The voice said, calling out to its friend. I looked behind to see who it was. My suspicions was confirmed, it was one of my students back when I was teaching substitute for math in ponyville. It was scootaloo, but she was older than the last I saw her in 6 years ago.

She had a tall, yet fairly skinny light brown pegasus beside her apperantly called orion, he had a worried smile when he stared around to sit. Scootaloo saw this began to speak.

"What’s the matter, Orion? You afraid of getting a dead end job on the snow line?” Scootaloo joked. Orion chuckled a bit, then closed his eyes and sighed.

“No.. It’s just... I don’t know. I don’t think I can do this. What if I fail? What if I don’t fail, but do just bad enough to still be disliked by everyone? I don’t know if I can take being deported. Where do we even go, anyways?” Orion said worriedly, and lowered his head in a despondent manner.

Scootaloo gave Orion a friendly punch which caught his attention. “No one knows, you dolt. And we’re not going to fail. Everyone here is going to be fine. I know I will at least pass,” she laughed. “Thanks to the tips from Rainbow Dash, I’m sure to be fine.” She said as she put her right hoof in her chest, mocking pride.

"Oh, yeah, sure. That reassures me. That’s actually just as, if not even more reassuring, than the psychopathic hate everypony here seems to love to spread" Orion sarcastically said.

“Quit panicking, scaredy-wings,” Scootaloo replied. “The only one here I think even might fail is that yellow pony with the dark green mane. She’s the one who was out sick for that month, you know.” Scootaloo said, pointing at somepony, looked at where she pointed.

“Oh, yeah,” Orion remembered as he craned his head in the other pony’s direction. “The one who had that bad case of hoof and wing. She looks pretty confident though.” Orion said.

“I suppose we’ll see,” Scootaloo trailed, turning to look at The Factory herself. It gave her chills, not of fear, but pride. I also looked at the factory that was right in front of the Colosseum and was monolithic. “I hope I get some cool active weather job. Can you imagine? Everyone in Ponyville or Fillydelphia staring up at me, going ‘There goes Scootaloo! Such an amazing flier! And from Cloudsdale, there can be no doubt!’”

She smiled in excitement, forgetting her tension for the moment.

“That would be something, I’ll admit. Mind you, just coming from Cloudsdale... who wouldn’t be in awe?”

“Exactly. Praise the Flock.”

“Praise the Flock.”

Before I can call out to scootaloo, a massive, buff Pegasus walked towards the entrance of the coliseum.

“Places, places, every pony" He said, we then hurriedly lined up by 4 rows with 13 pegasi each. I was in the three ponies away behind a yellow Pegasus Mare.

"We’re going to do this by name. Your adjudicators are on the east side of the field. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, fly too far west. If they lose sight of you for any reason, you’ll be failed. Immediately. Take deep breaths. Stretch your wings one last time. The test will consist of three sections. Weather clearing, Agility, and finally Recovery. Clear the clouds, fly through the hoops, and then fly to the marked elevation. Close your wings for at least three seconds. Any less and you’ll fail, but keep in mind there’s no ‘extra points’ for extra seconds. Finally, recover before you hit the cloud floor. Understood? Any questions?” He explained, then paused for a minute. Carefully glanced at every single pony in the room.

Everypony's concentration was locked on him, then he nodded seeing no confusion in the flock.

“Alright. Aurora Dawn. You’re up first. Clear, Fly, Fall, Complete" The instructor told the pony in front of me, she nodded and proceeded to the ramp to begin, I was scared.

The "Clear, Fly, Fall, Complete" routine is a simple one, but that's based on the ponies when I was back in flight school. I can hit clouds fine, I can fly fine, but falling is a different story. I was deathly afraid of falling when I was a foal, even until now, so falling on my back terrifies me. Panic hits me and I'll maybe fail this test if that happens. I looked at the judges to have serious faces plastered with permanent glue. That formidable look made me even nervous than ever. I looked at the first pony to go, she looked at the judges then breathed heavily. then took off.

My mouth was turned agape when she started with impressive agility. Then attacked all the clouds with precise accuracy and quick speed. Making the timing of it perfect. She went in through all those hoops dead center and with consistent speed. The first testee will pass this no problem.

But that thought was cut short when the yellow mare pulled herself up to the proper altitude, hovered, and closed her wings. The group of students gasped as she started plummeting, down towards the clouds, and counted breathlessly. One... Two... Three. They sighed as they watched her wings open in the correct amount of time, collectively holding that relief. Suddenly, the mare's wings whipped upwards, all of hus screamed in horror, even I was startled when I heard the painful SNAP of her wings then a loud scream was heard when she was still falling to the ground. I took a look at the judges to still have impassive looks on their face.

A loud thump was heard when she impacted the ground. Wasting no time, the instructor called out for the next pony. I was shocked that the judges didn't even try and call help for the poor pegasus that fell to the ground like a lump of wood. They saw the shivering yellow body attempt to move, only to collapse with a cry.

Are the fuck are they even doing! They see a pony over there hurt and potentially will die from all the wounds, are they going to leave her there! I thought inwardly, anger began to boil inside of me.

The instructor called in for the next pony, I moved forward along with the line, the previous pony landed and went to the back, I still see the yellow mare still struggled to walk, wailing with every step. Her legs weren’t broken, she could use them fine, but it was obvious the pain from her wing joints and the loss of her potential life was crushing her. This made me boil even more, but I decided to hold it still.

Any minute now you worthless fucks, are you going to help her or not? I desperately thought out, hoping that they still have their morality.

Then the next pony, after that I was next. Nopony still gave her a helping hoof, I heard someone say with an irritated voice at my front.

"no one’s coming to help her" it said, and I agree. I was beginning to break and when no pony will still help her.

Then the next pony it front of me was called.

“Orion Solstice. Clear, fly, fall, complete.”

“...No.” The pony said, then I was shocked. Somepony actually had morality in his heart to talk back to that brain fucked instructor and all the judges.

Silence lingered in the Colosseum after he said that. I was beginning to smile as he stood his ground.

“What?” The instructor took a step back, one leg left raised in the air. “You can’t just refuse your flight test. Get out there before you piss the judges off.”

"No. D-Don’t even pretend you care about my future if you don’t care about hers,” Orion defied, unsure about himself. “You say you want me to get a good life, and yet you let those that fail suffer unbearable pain.” He stomped his hooves to add emphasis to his point.

"Get the fuck onto th.at field before I fail you myself,” the instructor shouted menacingly.

“Fine,” Orion spoke sharply before walking onto the ramp, he looked at the judges for a second and went down to the yellow pegasus mare. I then ran to the ramp, to the instructors surprise and jumped down to go with him. He saw me and I landed beside him, we nodded and decided to help the yellow pegasus up and walk to the place where failures go.

She turned and looked at both of blood running down her forehead and sides, and tears streamed down her face. “Wh... What are you both doing? You’ll both fail like me. You’ll be exiled" She said with melancholy and after she wheezed.

“I’d rather be exiled from a place that treats ponies like this than live my life while other’s don’t live theirs.” Orion said with sincerity in his voice.

"And besides, if those so called pegasi over there will leave a pony within their own flock and race not care about them, then they are a bunch of hypocrites and everypony that didn't give a fuck about you is a worthless piece of shit too. I don't want to be that kind of pony if they are act like that" I finished, the light brown pony nodded in agreement. This made her smile, and we continued to help her walk to the medical station.

I didn't even care about the pony that was going above the sky, the only thing that I did was help this pony and fix her up. I looked at her, she was crying while she was looking at her wings, she was worried that her life as a pegasus might end because it was twisted and turned. I was sympathetic so I have to cheer her up.

"Hey, cheer up now. They're just broken wings, they'll heal in no time" I told her, we where almost there. I am Trying to lift the mood.

"And if it doesn't" She shouted at me with desperation.

"Don't worry, I know a broken wing when I see one. Your's just too much, but it will heal. Trust me, I had the same experience just like you, give it 2 months and it'll be good and dandy.

Then I could hear a mare sobbing behind me, I looked at my shoulder to see scootaloo beside orion sobbing dearly. I concentrated to help this pony to get out of this Celestia - Forsaken Colosseum.

So I spoke a bit too soon huh?

~~~~~~~~~~

There was an empty carriage on the other side, along with three stallion pegasi beside it.

“Hey, Boss. We got some ‘dem worthless pegases,” the first one called to an even bigger pony on the other side of the carriage. “I suppose it’s get ‘ta work time is it?”

“Cool it, hot shot. There may be more, too.” The pony replied.

“N-no... I was the l-last student to go,” Scootaloo spoke in sobs. Orion and I could only hang our head. “It... It’s...” She paused and breathed deeply, determined to remain as strong as she could. “It’s just us four. Aurora’s wings... they’re broken. She needs help.” She sobbed.

“Ain’t dat just a cryin’ shame, it is. What’s it to us? All da better she don’t come flying back to us no more.” He said,

What a fucking asshole, why I ought a - My thoughts was cut short when Scootaloo shouted.

“We may have failed our damned test but that doesn’t mean we’re not worth keeping alive!” Scootaloo shouted in a flash of rage. She was determined to hold on to as much dignity as she could.

You get her girl, I thought and a smile formed in my face.

“Alright, alright, sheesh. Hey, Patches. Doctor her up before we head out. I don’t want any blood on dem seats, I just washed dat thing. You otha’ two. In the cart.” The brown pony which I'm guessing is Orion, Scootaloo and I hopped into the carriage and got as comfortable as they could on the hard seats, but made sure to leave room for Aurora. then Scootaloo saw my face and was surprised who she saw but as soon as the third of the large ponies finished bandaging her wings, the yellow pony carefully stepped onto the vehicle, and lay down on the bench at the back. Scootaloo inched closer to her, and leaned down to talk as the door to the carriage slammed shut. The Boss pony was inside the back, standing by the door, watching each of them.

“So,” Scootaloo began quietly, trying not too speak too loud. “You’re Aurora? I’m Scootaloo. I’m sorry we had to meet like this.”

“Any meeting of a friend is a welcome meeting,” Aurora spoke gently, with sincerity in her eyes. “We did our best. That’s all we can say. That’s all any of us can say.

"And did your best indeed, even though I didn't try. But you guys did your jobs as a well developed pegasi. If only those condescending pricks just had a hint of morality in their damn hearts" I whispered under my breath, but it seemed like Scootaloo heard me. I raised my head, to look her in the eye.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Tinker Gear I'm a -"

"Tinker Gear? as in the same Tinker that was my teacher when I was a filly?" She asked me, I smiled back at her.

"You know her Scootaloo?" Orion asked, and looked at me.

"Good to see you too Scootaloo, good to see that you are following your dream" I told scootaloo, and I looked at Orion. "Yes, Mr Orion was it?" - He nodded -" I was her teacher when she was just a little filly back at ponyville, though I wonder. How do you still remember me through all these years?"

"Well, you were one of those teacher that was cool, one of those teachers that I would never forget. When Ms. Cheerliee needs a substitute teacher, she always go to you first and you always accept it. To be honest, your class was the best class, even though it was math. Every class of yours progressively went better until we graduated for High school" She explained with a little smile on her face, this made me happy. Was that really true that I did that with all the years before this?

Hearing Ponyville, Scootaloo's thought of something.

“Hey, if where we’re taken is where Zecora’s from, then there’s got to be a way to get back. It’s not as if we’re banned from Equestria. Fluttershy, an old friend of mine, she’s a Pegasus who lives in Ponyville. She never passed flight school, she never took her test. They’ve never come and taken her away.”

“Exactly,” Aurora and I agreed with a nod. Orion overheard, and offered his thoughts.

“I think the reason we’re sent far away is because no pony from Cloudsdale ever wants to admit that someone who failed flight school could come from their city. What a fucking horrible place, now that I think of it. I never want to go back.” Orion said all of us with a hint of anger in his voice.

"Couldn't agree more brother" I told Orion with a smile. he smiled back.

“Maybe that’s why no Pegasus ever comes back. They just don’t like Cloudsdale.”

“You goddamn worthless ponies can hardly call yourself ‘Pegasus’,” Boss spoke from the door. He was swaying ever so slightly as the carriage was lifted and moved to an unknown location. “Useless failures is what you are. No pony comes back from exile. Regardless of reason. Can’t even pass your goddamn test, you four make me sick.”

I jumped up from her seat, lifted myself into the air with my wings and dove legs first at Boss. “You shut the FUCK up about us. You have no right to treat others like this! You think just because we failed a exam, that doesn't even have a fucking point, make you powerful and have every right to shit talk us then think again you retard!” Boss raised a hoof and backhanded me out of the air, onto the floor.

“I can treat you however the I want. You hardly classify as ‘Ponies’ to Cloudsdale, or any of Equestria for that matter. Now sit the fuck down and shut up until you get to your destination.”

"Fuck you" I threateningly said back. I stood back up and sat on my chair.

“Where are we being taken, anyways? Not like we can tell anyone now, and I’m sure as the deliverers, you guys should know,” Orion cautiously reasoned.

“Hell if I know. We hand this carriage off to ponies in suits, and we get a bagful of coins to keep quiet about the whole thing. It’s how it’s always been, for a thousand years.” The three fillies huddled together again, scared of the unknown. They kept quiet as they waited through the unbearable trip, all lost in their own thoughts. Friends, family, loved ones and pets. All will never see them again, and some would never find out why. I in the other hoof, was thinking what will happen in the future.

This has to be a fucking coincidence, why is this happening to me! If I can time travel, then why can't I control it! And if I do time travel, then why is it always these fucked up situations, where it contains blood and gore! Can I at least have a decent place to hang out in! Just once, a break! I'm getting tired of this shit!

An hour passed. And then another. Finally, the uncomfortable quiet was broken by a sudden lurch as the carriage stopped in its flight.

“Ah,” Boss smiled. I gave him a menacing scowl“There’s my stop. You ponies play nice now. Have fun in wherever the hell you’re sent to.”

I Hope you die

The Carriage opened with a rusty sound, Boss hopped outside. It was a chilly and dark night, nothing to illuminate the place. We saw a suspicious pony in a suit with its tail dyed an unnatural black that never occurred in nature. Its face was covered by a dark, loose fitting mask, concealing its mane. All that was visible were rose coloured eyes, staring indifferently at the three ponies inside. They stopped on Scootaloo momentarily, unrecognizing, but she stared back. A second passed. The dark pony slammed the door shut, and the carriage took off once again.

A few moments of silence lingered until

"Atleast we can talk now" Aurora said, but no pony said anything, Scootaloo was still scared. Orion was angry. I was staring to some corner of the carriage thinking about the whole situation.

~~~~~~~~~~

???? ?? ????? ?? ??? ?? ?? ?? ? ???

I was snapped out of my reverie when a loud scraping of a door was heard, the carriage door was surrounded with ponies with obscure masks and suits. I was slightly blinded because of the light attacking my eyes, I covered it with my fore hooves. As my eyes adjusted more clearly, I realized that I was in a cloud building. Some of the ponies where holding clipboards, some where holding briefcases.

As we walked around through the building, I noticed that the place was noisy filled with alarms and the clangs of the gears of the machines of the place. I was observing the place some more, but Scootaloo gasped.

“This place... the architecture... it’s all so familiar... I think we’re in the weather factory!” She said with surprise in her voice. My eyes widened, no way that was true.

Orion frowned. “That can’t be right. We were traveling for way too long. We’ve got to be far away from Equestria now, not to mention the city.” I nodded in agreement, I considered the how much time that was spent before we got there. It felt like 3 hours or so.

“Actually, Scootaloo may be right,” Aurora mused. We looked at her direction “I noticed... it was maybe the same amount of time from when we left the coliseum to the place the carriage drivers swapped, that it was from the swap place to here. But... I don’t know. I’m confused. Maybe that’s just a coincidence.” She challenged.

“Welcome, mules,” A large and powerful voice commanded. Several of the suited ponies moved to make way for a deep, dark red pegasus dressed in a white lab coat. This made my teeth clench. “You degenerates are probably wondering where exactly you are. Stupid fillies. You’re in Cloudsdale! The Rainbow Facility, to be correct. Allow me to show you around.”

Did he just call me a filly?

“What’s going on here? Do you expect to use us as slaves? Because I’d rather be deported, thanks,” Scootaloo yelled. Orion, Aurora and I got off their seats and stood behind Scootaloo, nodding in agreement.

“Like you failures have a choice. You’ll be here for the rest of your lives! Oh, I’m sorry, where are my manners? I am Dr. Atmosphere. My degree isn’t a medical one, I shall reassure you, in case you’re picturing some dreadful surgery going on behind the scenes. Strange how so many worthless pegasi get that idea. No, no, my degree is in engineering. I’m one of the Forecolts in this facility. I’m sure you’ve all had the tour of the lower factory, no?" He continued.

Does this cocky dude think we're stupid?

"That's a coincidence, becuase I happen to be an engineer here as well" I told him, Dr. Atmosphere, Dr. Atmosphere looked at me with a surprising manner.

"Oh? Where are you mastered in?" He asked

"Mechanics" I answered back. He nodded.

"You know, you could be useful here" He said, I just scowled and looked away. He chuckled and began.

“Excellent! Who can tell me where the tour begins?”

“Where the Spectra comes from upstairs and is mixed" Orion answered, Doctor Atmosphere clapped his hooves in excitement.

"Very good. What a pity you’re utterly useless to the Flock, you could have been a smart one.” Dr. Atmosphere smiled sadistically and patted Orion on the head. “But, today, we’re on the upper floor. Please, follow me, and don’t get too far behind, or one of my helpers will be forced to... encourage you” He winked somewhere behind us, then electricity shocked the four of us with the tasers the ponies behind us with their tazers. I jumped because of the tazer and fell on my ass. I could hear the damn sadistic laugh of this Doctor. After the excruciating pain, I stood up with some pain. Shaking my leg to remove the tingling feeling in it.

“You simply must be careful in this department,” Dr. Atmosphere began in a tone not unlike the many tour guides in the lower floors. “There’s plenty of nooks and crannies and vents and vats one could fall into. One must be careful not hurt themselves. After all, you’re all hopeless as it is, any more so and even we couldn’t use you.” I gritted my teeth, but continued anyway.

A few minutes of walking, I can see Dr. Atmosphere talking, but I didn't hear any of it, I was contemplating on a lot of things. From who would do this to what could drive them to do this. This was a bit too much for me, what was I supposed to think right now? I was stuck in a pegasus society that wasn't the same where and when I was. This was getting more and more mad the more I think about it. But I have learned in the Pinkie situation that this isn't some dream, it was proven that this is the affects of the Time Travel Stone, I'll call it TTS right now.

The TTS I have touched when I was walking home from my Job, was the dangerous twist in my whole life. I have been in the most disgusting scene in the Pinkie Pie debacle, it will be forever scar me for entirety and there will be nothing to replace that.

My thoughts was interrupted by a metal door slamming close. I looked around looked at the big room they had been lead too. A big room with not much thing in it. On the other side of the room, there are six containers, each having a certain color of the rainbow in each container. over them was a strange device. It was too much for me to look, looking around to find ponies crying, talking among themselves, some even staring on the floor.

I looked over the ponies that was younger than me, then I sought to my self that I have to do everything in my power to protect them

It is my duty as an adult

But a responsibility as a pony
