Dr. Atmosphere paced back and forth while occasionally glancing at his pocket watch. He heard something about Rainbow Dash stepping out for a bit to talk business with a visitor but for some reason she hasn't come back yet. "Where is she? She never leaves and skips out on work. She knows what's important for this place." He says to himself.

All of a sudden a random pegasus worker ran up to him. "Sir, we have a problem! A huge problem!"

"What do you mean? Have there been delays in the next batch of failures?"

"No, but from what we are seeing outside they might not never come." The worker said nervously.

Dr. Atmosphere now felt nervous as this could only mean several things and none of them were good in his mind. He still had to ask. "What do you mean?"

Suddenly an explosion echoed through the facility as the two heard the sounds of a struggle along with multiple loud voices coming from another part of the facility.

"FREEZE!"

"HOOVES UP!"

"NOPONY MOVE!"

Now knowing what's going on Dr. Atmosphere fled down the corridor. Many questions were rushing through his head like how did they find out and where is the manager? He soon entered a large room where many workers were taking a lunch break. "SHUT IT DOWN! CODE BLACK! BURN WHAT EVIDENCE WE CAN AND RUN!"

Panic filled the break room as all the workers tried to run but they didn't make it out as a wall exploded revealing two furious alicorns. Everyone stopped dead in their tracks as the two rulers along with some guards flew in and tried restrain all the remaining workers. Dr. Atmosphere attempted to fly out but was soon caught by Celestia's magical grip. She was soon right in front of her face. The stallions was petrified he couldn't do anything but stare deep in the princess's barely rage contained eyes. Celestia opened her mouth and asked one question. "Where is Rainbow Dash?" She asked, her voice as cold as a blizzard.

Dr. Atmosphere shivered as he finally found his voice. "We don't know. She left for some business meeting but didn't say when she would be back."

Luna walked up her eyes also looking like she was about to go Nightmare Moon on him. "You better not lie or you'll be screaming for mercy from the lower pits of Tartarus."

The doctor gulped in fear. Just then a guard ran up to them. "Your majesties we found her, or rather what's left of her."

The alicorns and the doctor were confused. Celestia did order the guards to attack any one who resisted arrest but not kill. They soon found the manager's office where there were guards and a few other ponies in suits looking over the office like it’s a crime scene. The ponies quickly gave the royal sisters a wide berth. What the alicorns saw made their jaws dropped.

There sitting in the office was the body of Rainbow Dash. Her head was nowhere to be seen. On her dead body were words that seemed to be carved into her belly. They said, 'Killer has been killed, you're welcome.'

Celestia shook off her shock and slowly turned to her sister. This was just as bizarre as the photos of the pegasus device she received earlier along with a file filled with disturbing details. "Go to Ponyville and find my student. Let her know what happened but try not to start a panic. We may need her help in finding the other ponies involved including the children."

Meanwhile in another universe. Pinkie Pie sat in her jail cell under heavy guard. She should've thought this through as she woke up. The moment she was spotted many ponies ambushed her and she got quite a beating from her now former friend Applejack. It turns out someone has sent a file of rather gruesome pictures to a local newspaper print. It was agreed she would spend the night in the Ponyville police station then the next day she will be escorted to Canterlot where she would either be put through a long trial or be executed.

She soon heard hoof steps approaching she turned to see Twilight Sparkle. Her face unreadable. The two stared at each other through the bars. It was until Twilight opened her mouth. "Why?"

Pinkie didn't answer as she felt it was pointless. Twilight's faced changed to an emotion that was a mix of rage and heartbroken as she yelled. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?! AND TO OUR OWN FRIEND TOO?! WAS I ON THE LIST AS WELL?"

Pinkie still didn't answer. Twilight soon calmed down as she looked to her. "I hope you truly get what's coming to you and if by some miracle you even get a chance to taste freedom again, don't expect me to let you back into our lives. I now have a responsibility now. Because of you I'm hoping we can find two friends to take the place as the bearer of laughter and loyalty. You're lucky the cakes didn't know what was going on. They're gonna remove everything and turn your basement into a small memorial for your victims."

Pinkie just shifted her eyes down. She really didn't care anymore. She knew by the time she gets to Canterlot she'll be dead by either hanging or something just as drastic. "Goodbye Pinkie, I'd wish you luck but I won't waste my breathe on something you don't deserve."

Outside a hooded figure watched the interaction through a window before turning to open a portal. "Well this was fun but maybe I should try what Alter did and maybe have some interesting friends help me out. I wonder what more fun and games I can make."

He entered the portal and closed it.
