Rainbow dash grinned, as everything fell into place. The rainbow factory will expand and soon become self independent from equestria. A flying nation of metal holding the precious resource of spectra. And soon she will have the whole of equestria under her iron hoof.

Research into spectra for usage in weapons have been going great. So far they have created a grenade that spreads the poisonous affect of concentrated spectra everywhere. As well as a laser, using super-heated spectra to blow up anything in its path(1).

And soon she will buy all the materials she will need.

Of course there is that pesky ceo, controlling everything. Squandering his power. I will create a better company. All she needs is an 'accident'.

"Hello miss rainbow dash." The feo smiled at me, not even knowing about the bomb planted in the room. "You have been asking for a raise? Well unfortunately we simply can't do that-". He was cut off by an explosion.

I tan out looking panicked when in reality I am happy. The plan was full success. And as the second in command I would become ceo.

The first thing I did as ceo was demand to find a better way to create spectra. Now you might ask "why, I thought you loved to turn those useless lesser beings into spectra" and yes I do love that. However, it is inefficient. We need faster ways to create spectra. As my plans detail out, we will need more for research and without a lot of it we will have to wait for more to be drained out of another useless pegasus. We will need a new source.

Rainbow smiled at the new prototype, it was two tesla coils and a droplet of blood. The electricity strike the blood at both ends, causing some of the blood to turn into spectra. This was a step in the correct direction.

Rainbow grinned manically at the new spectra transformation platform. It's four massive tesla coils striking lightning onto a pegasus, causing a chain reaction turning all of the blood inside the pegasus to turn into spectra for us to use. Now what makes spectra so special anyways? Well it can act as any liquid or gas in existence. Is there not enough blood inside of you? Spectra can work as blood. You need clean water? All it needs is a drop of said liquid for the rest to copy it.

The construction of rainbow city was going great. The factory was still there, but it was now underground, with skyscrapers on the top for living space. It was perfect, it had industry and places for ponies to live.

"Now, all that I need to do is separate from equestria and become our own nation in the skies." Rainbow said to herself.

Celestia had took notice of the giant flying metal city pretty quickly and decided to speak with its new 'mayor'.

"So, why sis you turn a factory into a city?" Celestia asked, carefully watching the mare in front of her.

Rainbow dash had planned for all of this. She may look like an unintelligent pony, but in reality, that is but a mask. Her iq is higher than most scientists. So she put on another mask and said. "Well we wanted to expand our horizon. With ponies living on our city, they can expand industry by bringing business and new employees. Plus with everything that had happened on the ground would mean it would be safer in the sky. Plus any pony can come up here, not just pegasus's. But what I am getting at is that we want to be an independent nation."

A look of surprise briefly crossed celestias face before her calm returned. "So you want to be an independent nation to expand business. And why should I do it?" Celestia said, testing the waters.

"Well, think about it. With us being a separate nation, we can trade goods. And because we would have no ties with your diarchy, we can bring non-ponies into our nation." Rainbow said, already thinking what to do with her upcoming nation.

"Those sound like fair reasons. I will grant your request of separation from equestria." Celestia said as with this as a flying trade nation would be interesting.

Rainbow was nearly ready. She had the weapons, she had the nearly indestructible flying fortress, and finally, she had the separation from equestria. Of course there where some bonuses, like that changeling we captured, and now being able to shape shift like them. And of course the technology skyrocketing as well. So with years of planning coming to fruition. She invaded equestria.

Celestia was busy talking to luna when a castle gaurd ran into the room.

"CELESTIA, LUNA, WE ARE BEING INVADED!!" The gaurd yelled clearly panicking.

"What?!? By who?" Luna asked.

"THE RAINBOW NATION OF the sky!!!" The gaurd continued running I'm circles.

"Ok, why should we worry? All they have is being in the air?" Celestia asked.

"THEY HAVE MANAGED TO CREATE DEATH BEAMS!!!!!!!!" The gaurd yelled before passing out.

With the gaurd passed out, they ran out of the castle to find utter chaos.

Ponies running for there lives, entire buildings that stood for centuries crumbling under the barrage of raintropalus.

So without speaking, the two sisters nodded at each other, and flew at the flying fortress. Which fired beams of pure rainbow plasma at them. Thankfully, they fought against a lot of foes, so doing lazers? Easy! Except for the introduction of rainguns(2). With both beams and small projectiles, they got hit a few times, which hurt more than being hit by tirek.

But nothing stopped them. So when they finally reached the too, the where disheartening to find only a quarter actually fired at them. And the rest where waiting for them.

So battered and tired, they continued to fight. Even when they almost die from the bullets. They fought until they reached rainbow dash, the one behind everything.

"You won't win! We have you now! So let's get you into the dungeons." Luna said as they where relieved at finally reaching rainbow.

"Hehehe, HAHAHAHAH!" The two sisters where confused when rainbow laughed. But was quickly replaced by dread. "Canterlot mountian is gone. It's now canterlot crater."

With dread, the sisters looked over the edge towards canterlot. Only to be met by empty space. And a smoking hole in the ground.

The sisters couldn't take it and fell onto the ground, passed out from there injuries and from shock st seeing there home, gone.

All rainbow could do was smile at her win. And soon raintropalus will be all there is.

(1) it copies plasma.

(2) the guns rainbow mentioned.
