"Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy." ~Paracelsus

With the mailwoman still being the ditzy Derpy, Rainbow Dash didn't get the mail that Twilight and Pinkie were having an extremely important meeting at her castle again today, so she simply spent her morning having her breakfast and getting ready to go to work at the Rainbow and Cloud Factory. She had on her suit and tie ready until she heard knocks on the door. She was hesitant as the deaths of her friends made her edgy and more worried just like Fluttershy. She then decided to calm down and look through the peephole. It was Blitzing Speed carrying some heavy bags along with some winged police officers.

Hm... what are they doing there, Dash asked herself in her thoughts. Well time to find out. She opens the door to see the group more clearly. A man approaches her with the label of "Officer Nightstick" on his uniform.

"Good morning, officers. What's going on?" Rainbow Dash greets and asks.

Officer Nightstick replies, "Morning, Ms. Dash. As you know, your adopted sister Scootaloo has gone missing. We don't know if her disappearance correlates with the murders of your friends, but that's not why where we're here. After she was gone, Blitzing here was sent to the Pony City Orphanage to await his mother's return but she hasn't come back so with no grandparents, uncles or aunts left to take care of him, that leaves you the only guardian left to take care of him. He'll be under your care for now while until we find Ms. Scootaloo. Surely, it won't be a problem, right Ms. Dash?"

Some sweat did go down her head as she remembered that night but she wiped it away and answered, "No, no problem at all, Officer. I knew Scootaloo all my life so her son shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for coming to me. Come on now, Blitzing, you can take the guest room down the hall to the right."

Blitzing smiled and said, "Wow! Thanks, Aunt Dashie!"

Officer Nightstick nodded and turned to his crew behind him and instructed, "Okay boys. Lets go continue our search." before flying away with them to Pony City below.

One new breakfast later...

All Rainbow's wondering is what to do with Blitzing. He's unaware he's living with his mother's killer and now turning into Poison will be harder to do as she normally turns at her home as she's used to being alone. Maybe if he's... eliminated, she can get back to her plan of catching her friends' killer. Oh wait, she remembered. The rule of the Symbiote Six is that they shouldn't kill children. It'll be a low for them, even for their accounts of kidnapping, robbery, murder and arson. She also remembered though that they never said it can't be done to look like an accident. Yes, that's what she'll do. Then again, the accident could make her the main suspect to it as she is the boss of the Rainbow and Cloud Factory. And if she tries to do it while walking away, she'll get arrested for child negligence. Maybe... she can take him out BUT hide the body so no one will ever know. But how can a corpse remain hidden forever? She can try to decompose his body to nothingness like Anti-Life but her own personal goo's normally been capable of doing that to people alive. Could her poison fangs work on the dead? She'll have to test it out. If not, she'll probably just pop Blitzing into a cloud, overload it with lightning to fry him and leave it alone until nighttime falls and she'll drop the body to be buried in the Everfree Forest or somewhere farther than that. Sounds like a plan, so she'll do it.

"So Blitzing. Since I want to keep an eye on you, want to come with Aunt Dashie to the Rainbow and Cloud Factory? You could learn how to do a job early on in your life." She questions him.

He cheered, "Oh yes, Aunt Dashie! Take me there!"

The Rainbow and Cloud Factory is very easy to spot. After all, since the expansion of Ponyville to Pony City, the Pegasus population began to rise, leading to some buildings created for them on top of the area to better control the weather. And besides that, R & C facility has tubes coming from the sides in rainbow colors to make it stand out compared to the others. Eventually, Rainbow and Blitzing arrived.

She then told him, "Alright, Blitzing. I'll show you around, but be careful and don't touch anything you're unfamiliar with. Rainbows in their purest form aren't tasty juice and clouds aren't cotton candy."

"Touch and taste are two different things though, Aunt Dashie." Blitzing points out.

Rainbow squeezed the bridge on her nose and said, "You're still touching stuff with your mouth, which can be hazardous."

Blitzing's eyes widened and answered, "OH, that makes sense. Alright, Auntie. I won't touch anything."

Rainbow opens the front door to three different hallways. There is a door nearby labeled "Worker Locker Rooms" so Rainbow quickly goes in there to grab a worker outfit and says, "Blitzing, put this on so you'll fit in around here." Speed obliges, putting on the white helmet, blank shirt, and pants along with a pair of black boots.

"Follow me to that corridor," Dashie instructs as she points to the "Cloud Creation" Hallway. She heads her way over there while Blitzing tries to speed up. As they make it, they see tons of workers puffing up water, creating several clouds. Some are using special suits to blast static electricity into clouds to turn them from white to grey so that they're ready to produce rain, thunder, and lightning. Others are pushing away carts of clouds for storage downstairs. This place is loud considering the machinery and the other supervisors shouting orders at the workers for productivity reasons. Since not many would be able to hear Blitzing, this is a perfect opportunity for Rainbow to kill him. She takes his hand, leading him through a crowd of workers to a more quiet area of the room, a corner where a lightning cloud is being held in suspension by a stand as it's waiting to be stored alongside the others.

"So Blitzing. You know what this is?" Rainbow asks him.

"It's a lightning cloud, Aunt Dashie." He replies.

"Not really. This cloud isn't taken away like the rest. It's a dud cloud. It did get grey, but it refuses to take enough electricity to become a lightning cloud. So this cloud is harmless. Just go inside from the back and you'll see what I'm talking about."

It was a strange thing for her to say as she instructed him not to touch anything he's unfamiliar with, but since he's now familiar with the "dud" cloud, it piques his curiosity. He goes around back, uses his hands to open a hole and goes in. It's very dark and when he turns around, the hole closes up.

He then yells, "Um, Aunt Dashie. I don't know if you can hear me, but it's too dark in here to see."

Rainbow could hear him, but barely. Not just because the room she's in is loud but he is also within layers of cloudiness. Now's her chance. She then answers, "Oh, don't worry. Let me light it up for you!"
She then proceeds to kick and punch the cloud, lighting it up and making Blitzing inside yell as he gets struck by numerous bolts. Some burn his skin, some go through him and he tries to claw his way out but the cloud has become too thick to escape. He screamed as hard as he could, but it was too late. A few minutes later, his body was a sizzling mess that soon collapsed and as the bolts stopped, Rainbow knew he was dead. Triumphantly, she yells "Yes!" as she flies into the air in victorious fashion . Supervisor Soarin' notices her celebrating and walks up to her.

"Are you okay, CEO Rainbow Dash?" He questions her.

She turns to him and says, "Oh, just reminiscing. It's been a while when I've done this, kicking a cloud. It reminds me of when I was the weather manager back when Pony City was Ponyville."

He joins her in going down memory lane, acknowledging, "Oh yeah, wasn't that when you had the dream of joining the Wonderbolts? Shame they made you quit for Lightning Dust's recklessness and me for defending you. Well at least we've had a happier life here in the Rainbow and Cloud Factory ever since."

"Yeah, those were troubling times. Anyway, resume your duties, Soarin. Maybe we can go out soon tonight."

He smiled and went back to work. He then stopped in his tracks, turned around and asked, "Wait, who and where's that worker I saw you bring here?"

She did sweat a bit but thought up a great coverup story:

"Oh that was just a newbie. He was eager for me to show him around the factory on his first day. He went to the nearby bathroom, so I'm waiting for him here."

Soarin' believed she answered honestly so he returned to supervising.

"All in a day's work, Rainbow. Nothing can go-" Rainbow gloated to herself until a small grey cloud fell on top of her, trapping her inside.

She started yelling, "WORKERS! SOARIN! GET ME OUT OF HERE! WHOEVER DID THIS WILL GET DEMOT-" but before she could finish her sentence again, the cloud struck a myriad of bolts all over her body.

Turning around, Soarin' was shocked at the sight of his beloved in a fatal situation, ordering everyone, "STOP! HELP RAINBOW DASH! SHE'S TRAPPED IN THERE!"

As the bolts began burning her chest and arms, she began to feel weak. The pain was too much for her so she passed out and fell to the puffy ground of the cloud. Just as she did, the cloud collapsed, dropping her to the floor below. Soarin then exclaimed:

"She's still breathing! Call 911!"

*1 hour later*

When Rainbow wakes up, she finds herself in a white room and can barely move. She looks down to see her crisp body covered in bandages, though some burn marks aren't fully patched up. She looks to her right to see flowers in a vase and on her left is a needle going through into her arm, connected to an IV bag on a stand. She's in the hospital. Last time she was here, she had her wing busted and got herself immersed in the world of Daring Do.

"Hello? Is anybody there?" It was hard to keep her eyes open as everything hurts so she decided to go back to sleep. Time passed and she felt a small gust of wind to her left. Did someone open the door? She opens her eye and moves her head to notice a hooded figure. She couldn't see the face but her eyes widened when she realized what the stranger was doing. The figure had just injected a syringe of some weird dark fluid into her IV to go straight into her arm. The pain from her burns were overpowered by a new agony washing over her body. She tried to move but the hooded person held her down. It then says in whispers:

"Karma can be a bitch, right Rainbow? Or should I say... Karma can be a Poison? One that can result in a similar fate one does to others. I'm not the crazy guy with the needle, Rainbow. I'm the doctor. Time for your medicine..."

She tried to yell, but her screams were muffled by the hand of the figure and soon, her flailing hands fell as her body went limp. It then left a little card next to the flowers and walked out the doors of the Pony City Hospital. The note read:

"Three down, three to go. Until we meet again, Symbiote Six ~Applejack."

Author's Note

If anyone's wondering, her wounds didn't heal by the symbiote because lightning can set trees on fire so the volts caused by the figure fried not just Rainbow Dash but the symbiote too until it died. Just to clear things up.
