Part 1: Cupcakes

Part 1:

Rainbow Dash was flying around Ponyville, warming up her muscles before finally accelerating at her full capability. After doing a series of flip in the air she finally landed in front of the clock tower. Then she looked at the time.

“Buck!”

She have promised Pinkie Pie to help her with something at three. And it was past fifteen minutes!

She charged at full speed to Sugar Cube Corner and started knocking at the door.

“Hey Pinkie! It’s me! Open up”

Pinkie Pie opened the door for her friend with a huge smile. “Well, hello there Dashie! Oh wow, for a tiny moment I thought you weren’t coming!”

She smiled as Rainbow shrugged apologetically. “Yeah, I’m sorry Pinkie. I was busy practicing my moves, and I kinda lost the track of time. Anyway, what do you need me for? Is it a prank? Please tell me is a prank! Who are we pranking? Twilight… or maybe…”

“Nope!” said Pinkie heading to the kitchen. “Today we are going to maaaaaaaaake… cupcakes! Yummy, delicious cupcakes!

Rainbow Dash groaned. “Seriously Pinkie? You know I suck at baking! Wouldn’t you prefer to get Applejack’s help instead? I can go get her!”

Pinkie shook her head as she offered a cupcake to Rainbow Dash.

“No, no! it has to be you Dashie. Only you can help me to make sure my cupcakes are as delicious and super duper especial as usual. Don’t worry, you leave all the baking to me. You sit there and relax.”

Rainbow sat on a chair as she accepted the cupcake. “I see, you want me to try them for you. okay, I can do that! You know what, I can have a snack after all that exercise. Thanks for the meal!”

She ate the cupcake as she looked at Pinkie, who was smiling. It was only her, or there was something different about her smile. It was wider as usual. Even sinister. Or maybe not. Rainbow was only imagining things.

“Hey Pinkie, is just me or the whole room is spinning?”

Pinkie’s smile grew wider. “Sweet dreams my little Dashie…”

Last thing Rainbow saw was her friends expression. Her unnerving smile and dilated pupils staring right at her. And then, everything went black.

…

Rainbow Dash opened her eyes.

“Mmmmhm… where I am?”

She started to look around. The whole room was dark except for a sign painted with bright red letters. Was it paint… or something else?

LIFE IS A PARTY

Rainbow tried to move but her four legs were firmly held by steel shackles. Rainbow tried to struggle but it was pointless.

“Hey Pinkie Pie! Very funny prank, you got me! Now let me go and let’s call it a day!”

No response.

“Oh, I see! Everyone is here! Ahahaha, great job guys. Can we stop this nonsense now?” hey!”

Rainbow Dash heard some hoofsteps right behind her. She tried to turn around, but she couldn’t move that much thanks to the shackles.

“Pinkie?”

“Good evening, my little Dashie…”

She laughed hysterically as she entered Dash’s vision field. It was pitch black, but Rainbow could notice she was wearing a strange outfit.

“What’s the meaning of this, Pinkie?”

She began to struggle again. But much to Pinkie’s surprise, she didn’t sound scare anymore. She seemed pissed.

“This is your first and only warning Pinkie. Release me on this instant or you are going to regret it!”

Pinkie smiled as she slowly walked to the light switch. “Well, look at that response! So courageous, worthy of the legendary Rainbow Dash!”

Pinkie turned the lights on, and Rainbow gasped in surprise.

They were in a white empty room, with blood staining the walls. Fragments of bones and even some plastic bags in a corner. It wasn’t hard to imagine what was inside the bags.

But the most unsettling sight was Pinkie herself. She was wearing a coat made of Cutie Marks from a lot of different ponies including the parents of one of their closest friends and some acquaintances who supposedly left town. And on top of that, Pinkie was wearing a necklace made of unicorn horns and pegesi wings.

Rainbow Dash glared at Pinkie, angrier than ever. “You are so gonna regret this Pinkie Pie! I swear to Faust!”

Pinkie Pie laughed.

“Ahahahahahahaha! Come on Dashie, don’t you realize the position you’re in?!”

“The pony who doesn’t understand her position is you! I always knew you were kind of silly, but not plain stupid.”

Pinkie Pie walked toward the stretcher she held Dash on.

“When are you going to get a clue? Do you know what I do here?”

“I would say this is just another one of your jokes and all those things are props, but I recognize the smell of rotten flesh anywhere. So yes, I have a very good idea of what you do here.”

That made Pinkie hesitate. She was right, most of her victims automatically threw up as soon as they realized of the smell. But not Rainbow Dash.

“You are more interesting than I thought, Dashie. I am going to enjoy this more than I originally thought.”

Rainbow Dash looked at her right to the eye.

“Go on, I dare you!”

Pinkie Pie took a couple of cables from behind the stretcher and connected them.

“Let’s see how brave you are after I do this!”

She turned on the power, making a powerful electric current run through the stretcher

She screamed in pain, as Pinkie laughed. Finally, she disconnected the power and turned to Dash.

Rainbow’s body still shacked due to the electricity running through her body. But her expression was firm.

This was starting to get under Pinkie’s nerves but luckily it would be over soon. She slowly took a scalpel from her mane and stabbed Rainbow Dash’s Cutie Mark with it.

Rainbow cried in pain as Pinkie used the scalpel to make a circle around her Cutie Mark.

“You know? When you’re scared your whole body tenses making your flesh hard and spoils the taste. But an electric shock would make it tender again.”

Rainbow Dash grinded her teeth. “Who says I’m scared?”

Pinkie’s eye twitched as she ripped off her Cutie Mark, taking a good chunk of flesh with it.

Rainbow Dash screamed in pain much for Pinkie’s delight. “Ahahahahaha! So you finally get it? This is what is going to happen to you!”

Pinkie chewed a piece of the meat and looked at Rainbow.

“Where are my manners? Take some!”

And she forced the piece of meat on Dash’s mouth. Rainbow Dash threw up.

“You are bucking disgusting you know?”

Pinkie laughed. “Come on! Is not like you haven’t had my cupcakes before!”

Rainbow Dash grinded her teeth. “Unbelievable. I know I am a monster, but despite being what I am and all the things I’ve done I thought I wouldn’t become a cannibal. But thanks to you I have another sin to add to my list. I am going to remember this, better prepare yourself.”

Pinkie Pie was getting more frustrated with the situation. Why wasn’t she scared? What was Rainbow Dash’s problem?

“How long are you going to evade reality? I am about to bake you into a cupcake! A CUPCAKE!”

Rainbow Dash didn’t react and keep staring at her.

Finally Pinkie decided she had enough of Rainbow Dash’s glare and aimed the scalpel to her eye.

Rainbow smirked and slapped the scalpel out of Pinkie’s hoof with her wing and took it.

Before Pinkie could process what just happened, Rainbow Dash used her wing to stab her eye with the scalpel.

Pinkie stepped backwards as she screamed in pain.

“Aaaaaaaaaahrgggg!”

Pinkie was in shock. How could she? But then she started laughing.

“Ahahahhahaha! I knew you were full of surprises Dashie, but this takes it to a whole new level! I may need to keep an eye open for pegasus wings from now on!”

Rainbow grinned.

“This is just the beginning.”

As Pinkie recovered from her surprise attack, Rainbow dislocated her own backhooves with a quick move and, once they were in an unnatural awkward position, she released them from the shackles.

And then put them back on their original position with another move of her hip.

“You have no idea the endurance training I had to go to get when I started working at the factory. This is nothing!”

Pinkie removed the scalpel from her eye and turned to Rainbow Dash.

“I see…”

“Do you get it now? You didn’t catch me. You are trapped here with me.”

“Is that so?”

Pinkie Pie rushed to stab Rainbow Dash with her scalpel, but she was received with a kick to the jaw by her friend and she fell.

Rainbow Dash then pushed with her back hooves and her body to finally break free from the shackles.

Pinkie’s jaw dropped.

“How you do that? How are you that strong?”

“I am not, I just realized the screws you used are rusty. How many ponies have you killed here? Blood spills and make things rusty. Try to give some basic maintenance to your tools from time to time.”

Pinkie grinned. “Thank you for the advice.”

Rainbow Dash was limping from the leg Pinkie took the chunk from, but still she advanced toward Pinkie. “I warned you didn’t I? You were going to regret this.”

Pinkie stood up to face Dash. “Oh well, the hunter became the pray. Sometimes it happens. Is just business.”

With that Pinkie jumped over Rainbow, and the two of them rolled on the floor. Rainbow Dash tried to break free from Pinkie. Pinkie tried to stab her on the eye to make things even, but Rainbow put her hoof right on time.

She groaned in pain at the deep cut, but continued to struggle and finally managed to kick Pinkie away and started to look around looking for an exit.

“Where do you think you’re going Dashie?” asked Pinkie taking a huge metal stake from behind the stretcher. “We’re not done having fun!”

Rainbow looked at one of the plastic bags and took threw it at Pinkie just in time when she prepared to stab her. The bag ripped open spreading all of its content on the floor.

They were bones just as Rainbow suspected.

But then one of the bones called her attention. It was a skull, but not a pony skull.

“Wait a second, Gilda?”

“Oh yes, she was quite fun to play with. Not as fun as you but still.”

Rainbow Dash’s eye twitched. “Okay, now I’m pissed.”

Pinkie Pie recovered and jumped over to stab Rainbow Dash, but she moved on time and all she did was a small cut on her cheek. Rainbow Dash then took Gilda’s skull and smashed on Pinkie’s head. The beak made a small cut on her forehead.

Then Rainbow took Pinkie’s stake and stabbed her opponent on the flank.

Pinkie screamed in pain, but her screams of pain slowly turned into a hysterical laughter.

“Ahahahahaha! I bite a cupcake too big for me to finish. It was fun as it lasted.”

Rainbow put the metal stake over Pinkie’s chest. “You know what the worse part is? I’m really going to miss you Pinkie Pie. It’s a shame you are an earth pony. In Cloudsdale we have an especial way to deal with ponies like you and me.”

“Oh, and what is it?”

“We all work at the Rainbow Factory.”

With that she put all of her weight on the stake, stabbing Pinkie Pie on the heart. Her last smile was forever frozen on her face in a nightmarish grin.

Rainbow Dash looked down at her.

“Stop laughing!”

And she continued stabbing her face until there was nothing but a red paste.

It had been a while since she killed somepony with her own hooves. She usually used the Super Speedy Filly Squeezy 600, but sometimes one of the failures she dealt with escaped and gave her no choice but killing them before it was too late.

“See you in hell. One of these days.”

…

It had been two weeks since that incident with Pinkie Pie, and a fully recovered Rainbow Dash was back at Factory.

But she was called at her boss’ office.

“Hey how are your wounds?” asked her boss, Doctor Atmosphere, from behind his desk.

“Nothing I can’t handle. These two weeks were all I needed to heal and to cover it all.”

Doctor Atmosphere nodded.

“I see. Those who operate in the shadows don’t cross paths too often but when we do, everything reduces to who is the strongest, right?”

Dash nodded.

Then Doctor Atmosphere gave her a list.

“Anyway this is not what I called you for, but this. The exam is tomorrow. Are you ready to receive the new wave of failures?”

Rainbow grinned. “I am always ready.”

“Wanna make a bet? Most of us think that this kid, Aurora Down, would be joining us at the Factory.”

“No, I’m good. If I have to bet, I would bet my honorary sister Scootaloo would graduate with honors.”

With that she exited the office. She was looking forward to the next day. One of the new recruits may escape and gave her a few hours of fun.

Author's Note

And this is it, part one of this funny slasher crossover ready to celebrate Spooky Season. I hope you liked it and well, I’ll see you in part two.

Next chapter would be centered around Rainbow Factory with some elements from Cupcakes.

Read ya’ later!!

Part 2: Rainbow Factory

Part 2:

The line of young pegasi advanced to the cliff where they were going to have their flying test. The definitive proof that they were worth of being called pegasi. Or at least that was what the instruction said. Of course, they had to be exaggerating to demonstrate how important the exam was. Let’s leave it like that.

And of course, the exam consisted on ponies having to do some laps around a cliff while cleaning the way out of clouds.

“Okay first!” called the instructor.

A pegasus called Aurora Dawn advances.

“Alright Aurora Down, you are the first. Let’s see what you’re capable of.”

The young pegasus walked toward the edge of the cliff and extended her wings after giving her teachers and classmates a last look. She ran to get some impulse and then she jumped to gain some altitude and extended her wings.

She started making perfect maneuvers on the air, kicking the clouds away. Everything seemed to go smoothly when the wind suddenly changed just at the time Aurora have extended her wings to control her speed.

The force of the wind was so strong that her wings automatically bent backwards in an unnatural position, completely dislocated.

She fell right to the ground.

The pegasi waiting on the line shivered at the sight of their classmate failing, but the examiners did not care.

“Holiday Shine, you are next. Show me what you got!”

The next pegasus looked down to their fallen classmate but did her test as nothing happened. One by one continued ignoring Aurora, except for one brown colt with green mane.

“Orion Solstice, you are next! Show me what you got!”

Orion glared at the examiner and jumped to the bottom of the cliff to help Aurora.

“Are you okay?”

Aurora looked at her. “Hey what are you doing? Don’t ruin your future just for me!”

The examiner looked down at the two of them. “Hey, Orion Solstice!! What do you think you’r doing?! Come back here and finish the exam!”

Orin looked up.

“No! Don’t you see she needs help? What type of psychos would just leave her just lying there?”

The examiner looked at Orion frowning.

“I’m going to give you one last chance. Come up here and finish your exam. You don’t know who you’re dealing with.”

Orion shook his head. “Maybe I don’t know. But if this is how you treat others, I don’t want to be a part of Cloudsale!”

The examiner nodded. “As you wish little idiot. You’ll regret this!”

Ignoring the drama happening on the bottom of the cliff, the exam continued with everyone doing their best to ignore what was going on.

“Scootaloo, you’re next! Show us what you have!”

The orange pegasus filly extended her wings and flew to the bottom of the cliff to help Orion and Aurora.

“Wait!” called a voice in the crowd. “Don’t you dare to associate yourself with those failure of a pegasus come back here immediately!!”

Scootaloo froze when she recognized that voice and turned to the crowd. But still flew down to help Aurora and Orion.

“Are you guys okay? Quickly, let’s help her between the two of us!”

Between Orion and her helped Aurora out of the cliff as the exam continued over their heads.

In the end the three of them failed the exam.

“You three come with me!” called a pony.

Scootaloo and Orion nodded and helped by dragging Aurora to the ponies.

“Hurry up we don’t have all day!”

Scootaloo glared at the pony. “She just hurt her wings!!”

Three poines groaned in annoyance and dragged them by force to a carriage. Without saying a word, the pegasi started to pull the carriage as Orion and Scootaloo used pieces of their uniforms to improvise some bandages for Aurora.

She looked at Scootaloo.

“Orion is my childhood friend, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for me. But what about you? Why did you help me? Why you ruined your life for a stranger?”

Scootaloo sighed. “Don’t worry about it. I have my reasons for wanting to go where they’re taking us. Oh, I’m Scootaloo by the way. I’m sorry we have to meet in these circumstances.”

“My name is Aurora. Aurora Dawn.”

The carriage continued for who-knows-where.

And finally, they arrived. A big creepy structure protected by a giant steel door.

In the entrance they were received by a group of ponies dressed in black lead by another pony in black, wearing a strange mask that hide her face and mane. Everything except for her magenta eyes that were fixed in Scootaloo.

Scootaloo shivered but did her best to hide it. This was the encounter she hoped for. But she had to wait. Just pretending to be surprised until the right time came.

The three failed pegasi were guided to the inside of the factory. It was sinister, with all the walls covered in pipes, and steam and the sound of liquid being submitted to high pressure and sent all over.

“Welcome, you mules!” said a voice in the shadows. “I guess you have lots of questions, don’t you? Well, why don’t you take the chance to start making questions as we make the tour?”

He came to the light. It was a red pegasus with black mane and a half shaved beard wearing a lab coat and a tie. “But where are my manners? You can call me Doctor Atmosphere tenso! An expert in climatic engineering.”

Aurora and Orion were looking around, too scared to make any questions. And Scootaloo was too busy watching the pony with a mask with a corner of her eye.

Atmosphere tilted his head with a smirk. “Come on, don’t you have any questions?”

Scootaloo looked at Atmosphere. “Okay, what’s on the pipes? It sounds too thick and viscous to be just water!”

Atmosphere laughed loudly. “Ahahahaha! Excellent question! What you’re hearing is Spectra. Now, what is Spectra? Spectra is color. Pure pigment, the very essence of rainbow itself. The whole world owes its coloring to the Spectra. Is so especial that you cannot simply harvest it. You have to extract it from living beings!!”

Orion and Aurora paled in horror as Doctor Atmosphere laughed loudly.

“Yes, you guessed that right! Applaud your new purpose, you are not that useless after all! Your miserable lives would be used to keep the world colored and alive!”

But the three little ponies could not help but cry in fear as the ponies in black used tazers to force them to keep walking.

They arrived to a big room with what it looked like a hydraulic press. What in the world was that monstrosity?

Doctor Atmosphere’s grin grew wider.

“BEHOLD!! The Super Filly Squeezy 6000! This beauty separates the Spectra from the useless pulp. Thanks to them you’ll give your life to the creation of a new rainbow. The sacrifice of a few useless pegasus in exchange for those who are worthy keep living happy and prosper!”

“No!!” cried Dawon.

She tried to run away but the masked pony kicked her at her wounded wings. She cried in pain as the pegasus in the black mask slowly removed it.

Her fur was cyan, her eyes magenta colored. And her mane was red, yellow and green. It was Rainbow Dash.

“NOOO!” shouted Scootaloo recognizing her honorary sister.

Rainbow Dash ignored her and kept kicking Aurora Dawn without mercy.

“Stop complaining. If you cannot pass a test that easy you have nothing to give to society. This way you won’t be in anypony’s way!”

Scootaloo was sobbing, starting to irritate Rainbow Dash.

She sighed and turned to Scootaloo. “OKAY STOP IT! Have something to say? Just say it!”

Scootaloo cried. “I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME! How can you do this to me? I thought I was important to her. Always helping me, training me, treating me as your little sister. You are the only family I have left! Are you ready willing to throw me to that thing?!”

Rainbow focused her attention in Scootaloo. “I did love you! I tried so hard to teach you, to show you everything I know. The only thing I asked in return was for you to pass that damn exam! And you threw everything away just for what? Helping worthless pegasi and becoming as worthless as them? I hate you! I worked so hard to be in charge of this place and I really thought I have found a successor.”

She spitted on Scootaloo’s face. “You failed to yourself. Now I have to start over!”

Scootaloo cleaned the spit out of her face and headbutted Rainbow Dash, and then she punched her with her foreleg.

One of the ponies in black ran to help his boss, but Orion reacted right on time and made him fall.

Scootaloo took the tazer from him and used it against its owner. Then she aimed the weapon at Rainbow Dash, making her laugh.

“So that’s how you want it? Okay, fine. GO GET HER!”

At her sign, more ponies in black jumped over Scootaloo. The filly had only one chance.

She charged against the door avoiding a tazer and responding with her own given her the opening she needed to escape to the labyrinth of pipes that was the Rainbow Factory.

The ponies in black were ready to start chasing her but were stopped by Rainbow Dash.

“No, no. She’s mine. My failure, my responsibility. Take care of the others!”

Rainbow looked at Doctor Atmosphere, who was staying there, enjoying the show.

“Sure. All yours!”

Rainbow flew chasing after Scootaloo.

The filly looked back, and could distinguish Rainbow flying after her at full speed. She smirked. “Aahahahahaha! It worked! It worked better than I expected!”

Rainbow Dash continued chasing at Scootaloo through the Rainbow Factory. Much to Rainbow’s surprise she was very skillful making loops, feints and another distraction maneuvers. How did she ended up failing?

“What a waste!”

Finally, Scootaloo made a turn to the boiler room. Rainbow Dash grinned, the idiot have just trapped herself in a dead end.

“This is the end of the way Scootaloo! You’re done!”

Rainbow Dash entered the boiler room looking around for Scootaloo, when out of sudden the door shut. Rainbow turned around, only to find Scootaloo, but something was off. The filly had a cruel smile on her face.

“So you realized you don’t have nowhere to go?” asked Rainbow Dash.

Scootaloo walked toward her calmly, full of confidence. “No, no Rainbow Dash. I got you just where I wanted.”

Rainbow laughed. “Oh really? So you failing the exam was nothing but an elaborate plan to lure me to the boiler room? Ahhahahahaha!”

“Yes.”

“Oh wow, I’m such a fool to fell in such an obvious trap from a filly. And with what purpose exactly?”

Scootaloo extended her wings revealing a scalpel she kept hidden.

“I’ve known for a while about the Rainbow Factory. I even got the blueprints. Those who work in the shadows have many, many connections right? This is the end Rainbow Dash.”

“Oh so what now? Are you a wanna be vigilante ready to avenge those poor ponies who ended up at the Factory? Don’t make me laugh, kids would be kids after all.”

Scootaloo started laughing hysterically.

“Justice? Me bring justice? Ahahahaha! Are you for real? This is not my problem. I cannot care less of what happens here!”

“Then what?”

Scootaloo smirked. “I am Pinkie Pie’s apprentice. And I am going to finish what she started the other day.”

Rainbow Dash’s smile faded. “What?!”

Scootaloo nodded. “You defeated her in her own playground, right? Is only fair I have the same consideration for you.”

Rainbow Dash roared in anger and charged against Scootaloo.

Halfway through her flight, Rainbow Dashe’s hooves and wings wrapped around a cable hidden in the shadows making her fall right in front of Scootaloo. Scootaloo used her wings to slash her eyes with the scalpel.

“AAAAAAAH! I CAN’T SEEE!!!”

She tried to break free. But not being able to see made things really difficult. Scootaloo kicked her on the jaw and then she jumped over her. Made a cut around her remaining Cutie Mark and ripped off the Cutie Mark with a good chunk of meat.

Scootaloo ate it as she put the scalpel on her neck.

“Is over! Come on Rainbow Dash. Ask for my forgiveness for killing Pinkie.”

Rainbow sighed. “No kid. If you are going to do this, you have to take in consideration that the hunter can become the pray at any time. The only thing you can do when it happens is resign to your fate.”

Keeping Rainbow’s last words on her heart, she cut off Rainbow’s neck.

…

Doctor Atmosphere have grown impatient and went after Rainbow Dash after five minutes. She was unusually late.

The other two have been turned into Spectra already, and he wanted to extract it from Scootaloo as soon as possible. But neither she or Rainbow Dash were nowhere to be found. Finally they just had one place to check. The boiler room.

The door opened out of sudden, revealing the filly dragging Rainbow Dash’s dead body.

“Rainbow Dash…” mumbled Atmosphere.

Scootaloo looked to the eye and smiled.

“The only reason I let you capture me was because I had some pending business with her. Now we’re all settled so I’ll go home. I can’t wait to get to my home and start baking!”

Atmosphere stopped her.

“Where do you think you’re going? After all you’ve seen do you think I’ll let you walk out of that door? What about your little friends?”

“They were not friends. They were pawns. They served their purpose.”

She tried to walk around him, but she stubbornly blocked her way. “I said…”

She simply cut his neck with a quick move for her scalpel.

Doctor Atmosphere fell in a puddle of his own blood. “Don’t you get it? You haven’t capture me. You are trapped here with me.”

The ponies in black were astonished while looking at their bosses so easily defeated by a little filly, who looked at them right to the eyes. She smiled at them. It was a nightmarish grin, worthy of Pinkie’s apprentice.

Then the lights went down leaving them in complete darkness. When they came back on Scootaloo was nowhere to be found. Neither the bodies of their two bosses.

They shivered. Whenever those who operated in the shadows crossed paths, the strongest would survive. And in this case they lost their bosses, the strongest among them.

From that day on, everything started to go downhill. The factory workers were disappearing one by one. Chased in the shadows by some demented filly who constantly left cupcakes as a taunt.

And then after a week of hell the Super Filly Squeezy 6000 collapsed.

The whole personnel of the Rainbow Factory ran to the machine room. When the last of the workers entered, the doors shut.

An irritating childish laugh filled the room.

“I am sorry but this game already bored me! And destroying your most precious thing was the best thing I could think of to call you all here. Now we can end this once and for all!”

…

“A package for you Princess Celestia!” said one servant.

The Princess smiled as she received a dozen of cupcakes.

“Thank you. you are dismissed. Oh, and can somepony call my sister? Is almost teatime!”

The servant bowed to her and exited the room. Five minutes later, Princess Luna joined Celestia as the maids prepared a tea service.

After taking a sip of tea, Princess Celestia helped herself to the cupcakes and then offered one to Luna.

They tasted at the same time and exchanged a look. There were no doubt who made those cupcakes. Sighed sadly and continued eating. There was nothing they could do about it.

Those who move on the shadows were a necessary evil for the sake of the Ponykind.

Long time ago they made the Deal. The prosperity and happiness of many in exchange for the sacrifice of a few. And the ones who made the sacrifices where those who move in the shadows. The Princesses just had to look the other way.

And it was not uncommon for them to send a small token of their appreciation for not being chased. Some cupcakes, trophies like a sample of Spectra, skulls, embalmed heads, etc.

A dark reality that was kept a secret for most of their little ponies.

“Sister, there’s a note on the box!”

Celestia raised an eyebrow and examined the note. It was a postcard from Cloudsale.

HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE AT THE RAINBOW FACTORY!

They both sighed.

“So, the Rainbow Factory have fallen.”

“When those who move in the shadows cross paths, only the strongest can survive. However we must think on something to cover for the sacrifices from the Rainbow Factory.”

“Sooner than later something would come up. That’s how it have always been.”

They continued drinking their tea.

FIN

Author's Note

And this is it. The true ending of Cupcake Factory.

I know a lot of people told me I am beating a dead horse but I want to think about this fic like one of those uninspired slasher films you watch for Halloween. Is predictable, is lazy and is lame but you still watch it. A guilty pleasure.

Anyway I hope some of you enjoyed my wanna-be slasher fic.

Read ya’ later!!
