The Rainbow Factory
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"In the Rainbow Factory! Where you fears and horrors come true! In the Rainbow Factory! Where no single soul gets through!"... Good song, right? Anyways, my name is Storm and I am a pegasus pony living in Ponyville. After going through so much recently, I've finally decided to write this up and get it all out of my head... It is a bad thing to keep it inside me, right? Well... What I wish to say is that the Rainbow Factory was literally real... I am not joking either and it isn't as bad as you may think... It's worse... Much much worse!
It started around 10 years when I was 17 years old... I know today is like 2012 May, almost June and I'm 29 now so that would be around 12 years ago. Well at age 17, I graduated from Cloudsdale Flight School however I was not wanted at all because I was still a 'blank flank' at that age... You know what they did to ponies they think are worthless? Send them to the Rainbow Factory! I was taken away from my own home and locked in a truck then taken over to the factory and thrown into a jail cell... You can easily hear screams in the cells... So easily...
After that, me and two others were taken out of our cells and dragged into this one room... The room with... The Device... That what it was called anyways which isn't really a good name to be honest. Well... A pony in front of me was the first one they took. They strapped him up on this metal chair then the machine was turned on and I saw the head of machine lowering down, pointing at the pony in the chair... Then two pretty big knives came out of the head and stabbed right into the pony's shoulders to hold him still, then the needle came and stabbed right into the pony's heart, or so I think it was... The screams of the pony was so awful and it just was unbelievable that this is going on! Soon, the pony's colors were drained and it was just grey and dull... But still very alive.
What they did after that is what I personally think is the worst... They put this pony on another machine, slice off the limbs, which being wings, legs, and so on... I don't know what they did with the limbs but with the grey and dull pony still breathing, they sent it down the machine into the furnance and the fires came on. The smell of burning living flesh is stuck in my memories and I will never forget that smell, and the screams that came with it... It is just so wrong... I also remember that blood spilled ends up in the bloodworks... I've never been to the bloodworks so I have no idea what happened there.
Then one of the workers pointed at me next... I was afraid and I really didn't want to die so what was my first reaction? Run. I sprint in a random direction, away from the workers, and didn't look back... I was quite healthy and quite fast so I was able to move though the chains around my wings and legs did made it harder, but I was still able to run! To get away! I didn't knew where I was heading but I ended up at a dead end with a door... I bursted down the door and now I was in a room full with generators... There was electricity everywhere going from generator to generator and up above the storm clouds creating such electric to charge the generator. One of the workers did chased me into this room but he was electricfied to death and I thought I was to but instead of dying, my body just felt... Charged... This was win I got my cutie mark and I learned that my special talent is to control electric and lightning!
I walked out of the room, my body 'charged' and ready... The other workers were quite scared and it made me smile that I finally figured out who I am... Then he came to speak to me. A blonde blue pony... I don't know his name but I do know the other ponies calls him "BDP" which I've been told means "Big Dick Pony" cause he is a big dick... He also had one of his robots which I came to learn is H8S, or he prefers H8 Seed. I knew I wouldn't be able to use electricity against a robot and knew that I'm definably not strong enough to fight one. BDP ended up making a deal with me which was really simply... Stay alive and work in the factory as a generator manager or both me and my family dead... I decided to take the easy road and work here... Sometimes I still wondered what would have became of me if I choosed the other option...
From there, I've spent most of my time in the generator room, doing my job and not bothering anypony else in the factory... I didn't want to deal with that and didn't wish for it at all... One day, I was eating my lunch... I couldn't remember the date but on that day, I met Aurora Dawn, another pony who was working there. From there, we spent our lunch together, chatting and such. Dawn was an extremely friendly pony and was quite interesting... I ended up having Dawn as a friend and somepony to chat to in this bloody mess... About two months later, another pony known as Glaze, and yes I do mean the singer, joined us at lunch and us three basicly stayed together as friends... It was our way to put a little happiness in our lives...
With some friends now, I was feeling better and continued working there then on my 18th birthday... I... Left the generator room early cause I got done with everything that day early... I was heading to lunch and decided to pass through the room with... The Device just to see if I can catch Dawn or Glaze on my way to lunch... I never liked that room but after spending so much time working here, I kinda got use to it though my heart still feels pain for those who died in that room... Anyways, on that day... BDP decided to be a real big dick and lied to me... I don't know how he did it but he managed to get both my mother and father there on that day... Same thing that happened to everypony else who ends up there... Can you imagine watching the deaths of both of your parents on your own birthday? Not an easy feeling to get passed, that's for sure...
At lunch on that day, I spent my time alone to cry to myself. Glaze and Dawn knew to leave me alone cause I requested to be alone but then H8 Seed actually came up to me... This surprised me when he actually said sorry for doing what he had done... I mean seriously, he's a robot, right? Well... I guess this was the day he 'Awoken' cause for the rest of the year, he was around with us as our 4th pony in our group...
Eventually I moved on with my life and kept working and then by age 19, us four were talking about an escape plan! Well... Mainly H8 Seed. He couldn't take doing this anymore and simply wanted to get out. I personally cannot say how but Glaze told me he did manage to get out and BDP got a nice kick in the face, which was quite funny to hear. When I heard about this, it got me thinking and soon Dawn, Glaze, and I begun planning our own escape and soon it shall happened.
As for the planning, there was a few points we had to considered. One was, the exit can only be opened by a few selected... BDP is one pony who can open the exit and H8 Seed himself was another, cause H8 Seed was like the head robot that goes out to collect ponies for The Device. There was also another who was like a doctor or something... We planned to steal the doctor's ID card and use that to get out... That was my job. The second point was BDP himself. He has a room at the very top of the factory and can see pretty much everything that goes on so somepony had to distract him... Glaze did that by messing around with the controls of The Device, causing issues. The final point was V8S, a new and fully metal robot that BDP has. I think he built cause he saw H8S's escape coming and he wanted a new robot to replace H8S and one that doesn't 'gain a soul', so to say...
From here, I went off with Dawn to go the card. Dawn was my look out and once Glaze's distraction had begun, we hurried. I've never been in the doctor's room before so this was my first time and let me tell you it is a site you do not wish to see... It took me a bit but I did found the ID card which was on his desk... Quite odd how he doesn't keep it on him. Me and Dawn quickly went back into the room where Glaze is and gave him the signal... He manage to use his 'silver tongue' to convince BDP that what he was doing was an accident and soon BDP and the other workers left her alone and Glaze soon joined us as everypony else was busy getting The Device working again...
This was the day when we finally went straight to the exit door to get out but it was already opened... I don't know why and could never explain to this day but it was opened. We simply just rushed right out of the factory and hid in some clouds nearby cause we saw somepony coming. It was H8 Seed! He greeted us happily and explained that after he escaped, he went straight to Canterlot and got help... Oh boy! I wish I could explain the site I saw that day. Princess Celestia herself came in and just... I don't know really. The factory simply was gone after she was done with it... My only theory is that she must've sent it somewhere. I do remember hearing her though about never telling anypony about this... That what gave us four an idea.
Before we split up, each one of us agreed to make some sort of media thing of the Rainbow Factory. Glaze did her song "Rainbow Factory". H8 Seed did his song "Awoken". Aurora Dawn wrote a book called "Rainbow Factory", and with permission, used fictional forms of Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo as the characters. I agreed to write an ending to that story because Dawn planned to leave the ending of it opened... Eventually, we all did what we all agreed to do and now I am writing this story and maybe somepony will read it some day... Maybe...
When Storm was done writing all of this, he picked up the papers and put them away... He sighed softly, looking at the time then getting up, and going to bed... He finally had a dream about his family for once, which didn't happened since he was like 16 years old...
