Colors of a Rainbow

Alternate Ending - Avenge

“Has anyone ever told you… you have beautiful eyes, Dashie…?”

The machine closes around Anon.

“He... He thinks that I have beautiful eyes...”

A muffled voice could be heard from the machine.

“Fluttershy also thought it...” said the human.

Thoughts raced through Rainbow’s mind. Thoughts of a yellow friend, thoughts of a slender, tall figure, thoughts of a broken heart.

“Yes! YES! Work, my beautiful creation! GRIND HIM INTO DUST!” Atmosphere’s voice boomed through the room.

Rainbow felt something under her lab coat. It was a knife. She always had it with her, just in case some of the volunteers didn’t want to cooperate. She brought it to see Anon, even though she knew, deep inside her heart, that she would not need to use it. Anon would never harm her.

The machine started making its dreadful sounds. Every gear turning caused her heart to shrink. Every piston moving made her lungs lose air. She flew up to the rafters, landing next to Dr. Atmosphere.

“Dad... do you... love me?” A thin voice came out of Rainbow.

“Ms. Dash, keep it professional!!” Dr. Atmosphere scolded Ms. Dash coldly. “Those kind of questions do NOT have place here.”

Under the noise of the machine, nopony could hear the noise of a heart being broken.

Under the noise of the machine, nopony could hear the souls of the rainbows scream in despair.

Under the noise of the machine, nopony could hear a female voice.

“Everypony I’ve ever loved... Everyone who’s ever loved me... You killed them.”

Under the noise of the machine, nopony heard the sound of a knife being plunged in the brain of a Doctor.

Rainbow lost herself.

She no longer had who loved her.

She had only one feeling: Hate.

She had only one desire: Revenge.

She knew who hurt them.

The closest guard fell to the ground with a lifeless expression...

She knew what she must do.

The sound of prisoners being freed echoed through the building...

She knew what Anon would have done.

Masked pegasi tried to stop the riot, but they were powerless...

A blade faster than the sound flew across the rainbow factory, striking with hooves, tainted with blood of past crimes.

A riot formed behind the blade. Prisoners finishing off guards, breaking everything, not a single gear left in its place, not a single container of Spectra left standing.

_____________________________

A few hours later, there were groups of pegasi taking care of themselves, helping injured, moving machinery, trying to escape their nightmare.

A mare was alone. She had a rainbow mane, tainted red.

She was crying.

Suffering her agony, her loneliness.

She would be punished for her crimes.

But she didn’t care.

For once in her life, she was free.

She would tell everypony the story of the Rainbow Factory, what she had done during all those years, so that no one would do it again.

She just wanted to make her only love’s will true.

The end of the nightmare factory.
