Chapters Into the Belly of the Beast
Blitz arrived in Ponyville on the 1.30 Ponyville to Trottingham train. Her goal was to investigate a disappearance, the pony in question was a filly named Scootaloo. The "Young Flyers" competition had been held here before she disappeared. Blitz started her journey at the Ponyville City Hall and began to dig through the Archives. From what she found was the usual stuff, one thing that caught her eye was that her idol Rainbow Dash was in charge of the competition.
"Why would a weather pony in charge of a factory want to host a menial race?" This is what Blitz asked herself. What also confused her was that Rainbow Dash claimed that she had no idea of where Scoots was, and yet besides Scootaloo several other pegasi from that day also vanished. Leaving the archives she went to the library and ran into several unicorns all of whom she knew well.
She watched as Twilight, Moon Dancer, Minuette, and Lemon Drops played Dungeons and Dragons. Nearby sat Lyra and Rarity discussing fashion, and not too far either sat Sassy Saddles and Coco Pommel. After a bit, she went to a coffee shop and reviewed her notes from her research. For some reason the Rainbow Factory had some pieces of history missing, but she knew she would pay Dash visit.
Into the Belly of the Beast
Blitz nervously glanced over her shoulder, she had learned about the Rainbow Factory and knew that Rainbow Dash wanted her dead! She was writing an article about agriculture when an in the corner of her well trained, and former ex-wonderbolt senses caught a glint of light reflecting off the roof of a building. She instinctively jerked her body back as something whizzed past her body and penetrating the floor. Looking down she saw a hole where a high-powered 7.69mm bullet had left its mark. Blitz sent her article to a friend to finish as she grabbed her two-day pack and fled the building. Once on the street, she ducked into an alley and donned her body armor from her backpack and a lid on a small hoof gun to herself, and proceeded to walk, because flying would make her stick out. She gingerly walked along the sidewalk and made sure that she wasn't too far from a building or an alleyway. Something from above dropped on top of her and she rolled over and put her gun to her attacker's temple and fired a shot. Leaping up she ducked into a small shop and ran to the back door and kept using other doors and buildings to try to shake off any other bounty hunters.
Once she thought she was safe, she took her cellphone and did a factory reset, and formatted the sim card so it wouldn't work anymore. It also helped that she had no family for Rainbow Dash to track down; her one friend she cared about was also a factory worker in Cloudsdale as a rain pony. That friend was named Raindrop and Raindrop also was a reporter who focused on agriculture for her articles.
Blitz lived in fear as assassins got closer to killing her at each encounter. Blitz now armed with a hoof-blade silently walked the aisles of a closed supermarket, grabbing only dried goods and keeping to the shadows. She froze and wedged herself into a corner as a familiar voice came into earshot. "Pinkie Pie, I can't believe you got Rares to see a 3D horror movie! It was funny as hell hearing her scream."
"I know right! Dashie next round I say we serve Twilight quesadillas for breakfast in bed!"
"She'd have us banished but it would be worth it!" The two voices trailed off as they had turned some corner. Breathing slowly and waiting for ten minutes Blitz made her exit. Creeping along with the shadows she turned a corner and froze, just in front of her stood Rainbow Dash.
"Hey, Blitz! How's your article about the missing ponies?"
"Hit a dead end on a lead but I'll be following up on one involving Flim and Flam."
"Hope it works out! Anyways I have gotta dash off! See ya!" Blitz watched the cyan pegasus fly off into the night; nervously she knew that R.D. knew she was still alive and investigating.
Three Months Later
Blitz had enough evidence to form a case against Rainbow Dash and worked a deal with the princesses to bring the cyan pony to her doom. Wearing a wire she flew toward the Rainbow Factory. She figured that if she can survive assassins she could survive the factory. She was signed in as a guest and got her visitor pass. Acting like she was there for an article about clouds and the various types. Being an ex-Wonderbolt, Blitz took note of the exits and the number of guards. She also made sure that her hidden button camera on her business suit jacket sent life feeds to the Royal Army.
Blitz noticed also that everypony eyed her with suspicion or watching her make sure that she didn't try to flee. After a few hours of touring, she realized that her jig was up and that at least her earpiece was still a secret.
Into the Belly of the Beast
Blitz fought against her guards as they dragged her to the pegasus device, before her eyes a pegasus was strapped in and was being lowered into the cogs. He was screaming in terror then; in pain as his legs were crushed. Blood and marrow squirted everywhere. The sounds of crunching bones were invasive to the ears, the machine stopped as Rainbow went over and popped an eyeball put and put it in a jar: after labeling her trophy started the machine up. Blitz closed her eyes as his screams became silent and she felt his blood splatter onto her face. "You will never get away with this!" Blitz hissed, "I'm going to take you down Rainbow Dash, and when I do I'll see to it that everyone knows how their young fliers all died by your hoof!"
"One problem....no one will ever read your article." Everypony froze as news of a squadron of pegasi guards were closing in. "Damn it!" Rainbow Dash screamed and noticed that Blitz wore a small earpiece in her left ear.
"See Dashie, I'm not so stupid after all. I planned everything, especially after your first assassin failed to kill me; I'm also an ex-Wonderbolt so you're going down bitch!" As the fight ensued, an order was given to kill the other prisoners. Screams of ponies being crushed or beaten to death were heard. The fight had trails of rainbow colors and red lightning.
Blitz failed to see the pegasus coming in on her left and she felt his hoof blade pierce her side. The distraction allowed Rainbow Dash time to grab Blitz's right-wing and break the wing at the joint. As the qing hung limp and barely hanging on by a few shreds of tissue Rainbow deftly flew to one side of the large room and now zoomed toward Blitz and ribs snapped upon impact. Blitz kept fighting and Rainbow Dash mentally was getting aroused by the effort of this pegasus under her. "Blitz just welcome your fate damn it!"
"I will never...back down...you will have to kill me...and make it fast!" Rainbow Dash began to grind the injured and mauled pegasus on the floor of the Rainbow Factory, Blitz's right-wing tore off and Blitz screamed in pain. Dashie drove in a pair of meat hooks into Blitz's shoulders and raised her off the ground and used her like a heavy bag for a martial artist. Being disadvantaged, Blitz managed to bring the fight after having the hooks removed from her shoulders to the pegasus device. Rainbow Dash slammed Blitz onto the conveyor belt and Blitz painfully held Rainbow Dash as the cogs designed to crush its victims drew closer.
"Nice try, but you lose!" Rainbow laughed as she slammed an elbow in the now shattered ribs of her adversary. Gasping for her last few breaths found Rainbow Dash had rotated her so she'd go back legs first. Blitz just closed her eyes knowing her fate was sealed. She screamed as her legs began to get crushed. The machine stopped and Rainbow Dash smile cheerfully and revealed that she had salt, lemon juice, and some acid. The salt and lemon juice burned as they were rubbed into her open wounds. Dash then held Blitz's head in her hooves and produced a spoon. Blitz screamed as Dash needlessly dug around in her skull to pop her eyeball out. "Thanks for the fun Love" Rainbow Dash then passionately planted a kiss. The machine rolled in reverse as their tongues rolled with their kiss. Blitz couldn't believe it as a few minutes rolled by that R.D. was raping her on the pegasus device.
"Enjoy the ride!" Rainbow said as she had a pair of pliers and a long slender knife was brought. Blitz felt sick as Rainbow Dash removed her tongue and placed it in a jar with her eyeball and affectionately labeled the jar. The machine was turned on as she could tell by her placement that she was being crushed and the pain was immense. Her screams filled the factory, the guards laughed as her figure disappeared. Rainbow picked up the remaining wing and ordered that it be preserved for use later. Rainbow Dash fled the factory as guards poured in, she was grateful for her foresight of building secret passages out of the factory. Rainbow Dash realized that Blitz must have had a hidden camera on her figure somewhere and that was how the Royal Army were so prompt as they closed in. As Rainbow Dash laid low, she heard the news reports of the identified bodies were revealed. When things died down Rainbow was back at it again so ponies never knew why or how sometimes after it rains they saw two rainbows in the sky.
Into the Belly of the Beast
Blitz walked through Rainbow Factory, she noted a large device with restraints on it, and she couldn't tell but was there blood on the machine and the belt leading to the large cogs? Once in Rainbow's office, she saw a picture of Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash from a camping trip. Somewhere she heard Rainbow barking out an order, "Get the device cleaned and oiled!"
"Hello Biltz, I heard you wanted to talk to me about Scoots. Like I told the cops I have no idea where she is."
"That device is that the Pegasus Device? Furthermore, is it operational?"
"Sorta, the fruit I've sent through doesn't help much. Trying to change from chemicals for the rainbow to using fruit pigments. I still got flaws in it. Tried a jelly mixture and it went to hell. Anyways great article about Summer Sun Celebration, I loved it! I sure do miss Scoots though, she was a good kid, hope we find her soon."
Blitz nodded in an agreement but noted that Dash had a tone of sadness and yet it was mixed with something. As she was given a tour of the factory and watched ponies pour jelly into the Pegasus Device she noted that it had an odd odor; then she noticed a vat filled with jello. She guessed that those scents don't mix super well. After an hour and as she flew homeward she paused, had she heard a scream? Unsure she kept going, then below her, she saw fillies and colts in a lake below. Splashing each other and screaming in delight. She had no idea what her new journey will lead her.
