Ancient Guardians 2: Multiverse Games
The Factory Worker and the Baker: Part 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRainbow Dash slowly regained her bearings and she became more awake. The last thing she remembered was a pony in her factory office. Now awake she looked and the first thing she noticed and felt was the damp concrete floor. She slowly got up and noticed the room had only one door and a strange looking table that looked like a giant Buzzsaw wheel. On one side of the room there was a film projector and sheet while on the other side there was what looked like a giant clock. She then saw another unconscious pony on the ground across the room. "What the...? Pinkie?"
She then noticed she was wearing some metal harness with a strange device on it. It looked like a winch that had a cable connecting it. She soon saw and it went through a part of the table and it was at that moment she realized she had the same harness and contraption too. "What the heck?! Help! Help!"
Slowly Pinkie Pie woke up. She rubbed her eyes and quickly looked around. As soon as her eyes landed on Rainbow her eyes widened a look of horror struck her face. "What the Tartarus?! How are you here!? How are you alive!? I finished you off!"
Now Rainbow was confused. "What are you talking about? Better yet, where are we? Is this one of your early Nightmare Night pranks?"
Before Pinkie could respond they soon both heard a sound and looked to see what looked like an intercom speaker. "Hello Pinkamena Pie, Hello Rainbow Dash. I want to play a game. You both came from two different universes. But despite being from two different worlds you both have one thing in common. You both have harmed innocent lives all for the sake of a sick business pleasure and practice. Now you will know what its like when the tables have turned."
Both mares looked confused. "I don't follow." Said Rainbow.
"Me neither" said Pinkie.
"Perhaps you both need a visual aid." Said the voice as the film projector turned on like magic.
Pinkie Pie watched with horror as failed pegasi fillies and colts were fed into a machine only for colors to be drained out. But her reaction was nothing compared to Rainbow as she watched footage of herself being ripped apart only to be made into cupcakes. As soon as the film ended both mares looked to each other in horror before scowling at each other. "You Sick TWISTED MONSTER!" yelled Rainbow.
"Sick?! Twisted?! You're the one killing children!" Snapped Pinkie.
"Enough! You're both guilty of heinous acts and now you're both gonna be fighting for your lives like your victims. As soon as I start the timer the winches on your harnesses will begin retracting and the saw will start spinning. You'll have two minutes to try and pull yourself away before the cables fully retract and pull you both in. Meaning in order to save yourselves, you must take the life of your partner."
Rainbow attempted to fly above the saw but then to her surprise the saw slowly angled itself upward. The intercom voice chuckled. "I saw that coming. The saw will aim for who ever is closest and don't try to use it to cut the cable. It's made from indestructible material."
Suddenly they heard a sound. They then noticed the devices which were on their fronts started retracting and the saw was turning only to starting spinning fast. "Live or die make your choice."
The clock started ticking. Pinkie looked to the clock her mind was racing as one question came through her skull. How does this voice know what they've done? She didn't have time as she suddenly felt a tug. "What the!? What Are you doing?!"
"Playing by the rules!" snarled Rainbow as she flapped her wings fast.
Pinkie could feel her hooves sliding on the ground as she tried to pull back. "Rainbow! Think about this! We can work together and get back to where ever we came from and pretend we never saw each other!"
"NO! You're gonna kill me like you did to the other me! Fat Chance!"
The two were now really tugging each other's cables hard. Rainbow's wings flapped so hard they almost flapped faster than a humming bird."Grrr Come on!"
Pinkie was now dangerously close to the saw as she screamed and it was there the adrenaline went into overdrive and she was now pulling back hard. She was now inching further away from the blade which could mean Rainbow was now getting much closer. Rainbow saw the blade and was now getting scared. "Wait Pinkie! We can talk about this!"
"Like you said. FAT CHANCE!" Yelled Pinkie as she poured the last of her strength into one final tug as Rainbow's neck came into immediate contact with the saw. Blood spurted everywhere as the saw dug into her and soon sliced her head off. Suddenly a steam whistle sounded, the clock stopped ticking, and the saw turned off along with the winches. Pinkie stopped and looked at the gruesome sight before her.
The leader of the Rainbow Factory was on the floor blood everywhere and her head in pieces. Pinkie tried to process this so hard she didn't feel the harness suddenly pop off her body. But she could hear the voice of her captor. "Congratulations Pinkie. You managed to survive. I think you deserve a reward before you can go home. Come through the door and claim your prize."
Pinkie then remembered the door and walked through trying her best to ignore the smell of Rainbow's blood. There in the other room was a small table that had a nicely decorated cupcake with sprinkles and a lighted candle. "Don't worry its not like the other one you tried." Said the voice.
Pinkie trotted up to the cake, sniffed it and started eating it. To her it felt like bliss and joy but that was cut short as the voice came back. "Enjoy it while you can. You still need to handle your participant reward. You see Pinkie there was a reward I had planned for both you and Rainbow. Because the true joy of a game is taking part. And before you ask Rainbow will still get this reward despite being dead."
Pinkie gulped the last bit of cupcake as she looked around trying to at least find the source of the voice. "What is the reward?"
"The secrets of what you've both done getting exposed."
Pinkie immediately felt her color drain and her blood run cold. "WHAT!?"
"A wise man once said whatever happens in the dark always comes to light. Oh and I lied. The cupcake you ate has the same sedative I gave you but not as much though. Have a nice rest and by the time you wake up you'll be home to a world that has seen your true colors and crimes."
Before the mare could do anything she soon found herself getting drowsy again and then passed out on the floor.
