What if, down in that basement, Rainbow Dash was saved in time before Pinkie Pie killed her?

For starters, I do not own the original Cupcakes story! Credit goes to Sergeant Sprinkles for that. This is simply a story based off of Cupcakes, my version of what would have happened if Rainbow Dash had been saved. What would have happened then?

Suggested official rating: R for graphic horror violence and gore

In The Basement

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING STORY CONTAINS DETAILED DISTURBING DESCRIPTIONS OF VIOLENCE AND GORE AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR YOUNG AUDIENCE. NOTICE: You should have read the original story be Sergeant Sprinkles before reading the alternate ending, so we start off in the basement.

     "Looks like I got my "I" on you!" Pinkie had just said with a giggle. Rainbow Dash hardly heard her; she felt dizzy and weak. The pain from the areas her wings used to be burned like fire.

     Pinkie reached down and pulled the two flaps of skin on Rainbow's abdomen apart with a sickening wet sound. The loss of blood from Dash's body and the sight of her own guts made the Pegasus more dizzy and sick than ever. Pinkie sliced some more of Dash's innards loose, reached in, and pulled out Dash's intestines. The pink pony threw the guts around her neck, laughing, pretending to be Rarity with a scarf. Blood sprayed everywhere.

     When Pinkie was done with the "scarf", she put the intestines in her mouth and pretended to floss.

     "The dentist says you're supposed to floss twice a day, Dashie!"

     Rainbow Dash barely heard her insane friend. The shock of what was happening to her and blood loss was causing her to slip away.

     "Oh, don't go yet, Dash!" Pinkie said in a disappointed voice. She reached inside the gutted pony and began to remove more organs, making a bad joke up for each one. When she was done with that, she tried to play bagpipes with Rainbow Dash's stomach but only got a spray of stomach acid and half-digested food on her tongue.

     "Eew!" Pinkie said. "Oh look, Dash, it's your cupcake from earlier!"

     Rainbow Dash didn't hear Pinkie. She had lost consciousness two minutes ago. Disappointed with Rainbow Dash for not staying awake, she jammed an adrenaline needle into Rainbow's chest. The blue Pegasus awoke with a gasp, but she was dying. She felt her life slipping away with every second that went by.

     Pinkie straddled Rainbow Dash's chest. “Ya know, Rainbow Dash, I’m disappointed. I thought you would have lasted longer. I really wanted to spend more time with you before we got here. But I guess it’s my fault; I should have taken it a little slower. Oh well. It was really was nice knowing you, Dash!”

     With those words, Pinkie lowered the blade to Dash's neck for the killing cut.

     Earlier that day, Unicorn Twilight Sparkle sat in her library in Ponyville, studying as usual. Suddenly, there was a knock at the front door.

     "Spike, would you mind getting the door please?" Twilight said, not raising her eyes from her book.

     "Never fear, Spike your Number One Assistant is here," Spike said with a salute. He ran over to the front door, grabbed the knob, and turned it. The door swung open to reveal Applejack and Fluttershy standing on the porch.

     Oh... I'm so sorry... Is this a bad time?" Fluttershy said timidly. "If it is, we can go right-"

     "Hi, girls," Twilight said, appearing behind Spike. "What brings you here this afternoon?"

     "Hi, Twilight," Applejack said. "Ah don't mean to bother ya, but ah was just wonderin', have ya seen Rainbow Dash anywhere? Ah been lookin' for that pony all day to see if she wanted to help out at the farm, an' I can't seem to find her anywhere."

     "Rainbow? Oh, yeah-" Twilight began.

     "I'm sorry, Twilight," Fluttershy interrupted quietly, "but I had the same question for you about Pinkie Pie. You see, her and I were planning to have a tea party with the woodland creatures sometime, and I wanted to ask her if today would be a good day but I can't seem to find her."

     "Yeah, I saw both of them this morning," Twilight replied. "I saw Pinkie heading into the grocery store. I saw Rainbow Dash practicing her flying moves. When she came down for a rest, she told me she was practicing early because she was helping Pinkie with something later today but she wasn't quite sure what it was."

     "Darn!" Applejack said. "They're prob'ly still busy. An' there's no way I can get all the work at the farm done without some help."

     "It's no fun to have a tea party with no friends," Fluttershy said quietly.

     "I'm done studying for now," Twilight said. "We could see if Rarity is busy and if she's not, we can all go find Rainbow and Pinkie and see if they need any help."

     "Ah think that's ah great idea," Applejack said.

     "Me too," Fluttershy said.

     Five minutes later, the three friends stood in the doorway of the Carousel Boutique. Applejack opened the door and they went inside, stared, then gasped at the mess. Pieces of fabric, big and small, were all over the floor. Rarity's cat, Opal, hissed and clawed angrily at one of the bigger ones, her claws tearing through the soft fabric. And right there in the middle of the room, concentrated at a sewing machine, was Rarity herself. Applejack quietly closed the door behind the three and they quietly backed against the wall not making a sound as to not distract Rarity from her work.

     Finally, about five minutes later, the sewing machine stopped. Rarity looked up and smiled warmly at the sight of her friends.

     "Oh- hello- all of you- I must say, I was not expecting you girls this early in the afternoon but now that you're here, you must allow me to show you the most MAGNIFICENT dresses I've EVER created-"

     "Rarity? Is this a bad time?" Twilight asked. "You did look busy and all-"

     "Nonsense, my dear Twilight, I was going to be taking a break soon anyways!" Rarity interrupted.

     "Well, I guess if you're sure-"

     "Of course I'm sure, Twilight!" Rarity said happily. "Now come, you all simply MUST see the- wait," Rarity interrupted herself, suddenly noticing the two absences. "Where is Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash? Surely they must be here, too."

     "We actually have no idea where they are," Twilight said. "That's what we're trying to find out. We stopped by to see if you wanted to join us."

     "I guess I have some free time..." Rarity said. "Of course I'll go with you."

     In a few minutes, the four friends were walking through downtown Ponyville, wondering where their other two friends had gone.

     "Of course!" Applejack said suddenly after a few minutes. "Sugarcube Corner! I bet ya anything Pinkie Pie is havin' Rainbow help her bake somethin'. Y'all know Pinkie- that's what she's always doing."

     "Of course!" Twilight said. "Why didn't I think of that?"

     The four headed towards Sugarcube Corner, about a block away. When they got there, they went inside and saw Mrs. Cake.

     "Excuse me, Mrs. Cake?" Twilight asked politely. "Is Pinkie Pie here?"

     "I believe she's in the basement," Mrs. Cake replied. "I can't imagine what she's doing- I myself never go down there. That's Pinkie's place we gave to her."

     "Is it ok if we go down?"

     "Of course it is dear- I'm sure Pinkie will be happy her friends came to visit her."

     "Thanks!" Twilight said. "She then turned to her friends. "Come on girls."

     Twilight and her friends went over to the basement door and began to go down into the darkness. They would never expect what they would find at the bottom.

     As Pinkie pressed the knife into the dying Rainbow's neck, she suddenly turned in surprise as four ponies stepped into the basement.

     "Pinkie? Are you down here?" Twilight's voice came. "Why are you here in the dark?"

     Somepony hit the light switch and the gruesome scene in the basement was lit up- Pinkie, about to cut Rainbow's face off, guts hanging from the ceiling, blood, body parts, clothes made from pony coats against the walls. Fluttershy was the first to scream, and Pinkie ran at the four ponies, an expression of crazy determination on her face. Twilight's horn glowed, there was a loud BANG and a flash of violet light, and Pinkie was hurled across the basement.

     The four ponies ran to Rainbow Dash in horror, who was barely breathing, and slipping away.

     "Someone get the medic ponies quick!" Twilight screamed. "We can still save her before it's too late! Applejack, go find Spike! We have to write a letter to the princess about Pinkie Pie, just HURRY, dang it!"

     Twilight turned to Rainbow Dash on the table and spoke softly to her. "It's ok, Rainbow. We're getting help for you. Everything will be ok..."

In The Basement (Part 2)

Two weeks later

     Rainbow finally got out of the hospital two weeks after the events at Sugarcube corner. She got out in the afternoon, and as she was expecting, her four friends were waiting for her outside. She grinned and stretched out her wings- her brand new, high-tech steel wings that the doctors had made for her. Her Cutie Marks looked as awesome as ever- same Cutie Marks, but the doctors had stitched them back on with expert skills.

     "Cool wings, Rainbow!" Twilight said.

     "Thanks!" Rainbow said happily. "With this light-weight metal in the form of wings, with all the joints built perfectly, the doctors say I can be just as fast as I used to be!"

     "How the hay did ya survive, Rainbow?" Applejack asked. "Ah mean, ah'm glad ya did, but ya were expected to die!"

     "Yeah... I had severe internal damage and I was missing a lot of vital organs, but with a few body parts from ponies donated to science after death and the doctor's crazy technology, I survived! But I do have one question- what happened to Pinkie Pie?"

     "Well..." Twilight said, "she was arrested for murder and attempted murder, and she will be spending the rest of her life in the Canterlot Dungeons, the highest high security prison there is."

     "Can't say I exactly feel sorry," Rainbow muttered. "She's always been crazy."

     "Let the past go, Rainbow," Twilight said sadly. "I think all you'll find is pain."

     Rainbow walked over and stood next to her friends, metal wings shining in the afternoon sunlight. They all looked out toward Ponyville, all of them wondering what life would now be like without their former friend, Pinkie Pie.
