The Beginning

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville,

Pinkie was (like always) was enjoying serving sweets to other ponies.

Twilight was in her library,getting ready for a test that was given by Celestia.

Fluttershy was at her cottage,helping her sick rabbit:Angel.

Applejack was bucking with Big Mac.

And Rainbow Dash didn't have a care in the world,she was just laying out on her cloud hamic outside her house,watching the clouds,listening to the her favorite band,"Nuzzle-Back".

When she heard some wings on her front porch,she sat up and took out her earphones and sunglasses.

She saw a pegasus with a saddlebag holding a note in its mouth.

"Hey who are you?" Rainbow Dash asked,as the pegasus walked towards her,

"Just read," the stallion said,as he handed her the note and flew off.

"Well that was strange-" she stopped when she read that it was from a changling,it read...

"Dear Rainbow Dash,

                We have taken your Cutie Mark Crusaders hostage,follow these terms if you want them to live,

Come alone,

Bring at least 100 bits,

And do not tell anypony about any meeting or this note that has been sent to your residents,

                                  ~THE FLIES"

She reconized the name as a gang of changlings that had a history of kidnappings.

Rainbow Dash was in complete shock at what she had read,

"I have to go!"

"Go where?" a pegasus asked,it was Soarin. The two were gonna go on a date. They were in a relationship now.

"Uh," Rainbow turned around,and looked at Soarin.

She quickly thought of something,"Uh just business,"

Soarin looked down in disapiontment,

Rainbow Dash flew off.

She flew to the Ponyville bank to make a deposit,for the 100 bits she owed.

"Well why do you need such an amount of money,Rainbow Dash?" The teller said,suspicious,

"Well,uh,you see I have a friend that is holding a rally for the Wonderbolt races that are going on today.I need bits to get in," Rainbow Dash responded,as she smiled half-heartedly,

"Oh fair enough,"

The teller handed her the money and Rainbow Dash ran off.

Rainbow Dash was walking through the forest,to the "meeting" so that she could rescue the three foals.She had tired out from flying so much,so she just decided to walk the rest of the way.

A voice spoke up from beside her,

"Hey,you," it said in a groggy type of voice,

"Yeah,what's it to ya'" Rainbow said as she went towards the voice in the forest.

"We have who you are looking for,do you have the money," it spoke,now agitated.

"Yeah,and hey where is Scoot!" she demanded,

"WHERE IS THE MONEY!"

"Right here," Rainbow Dash held up the bits with her front hoof,but was quickly snatched away by a black hoof.

"Here is your usless fan,"

Just then a orange pegasus was thrown out of from behind the trees,it was Scootaloo.

"Scootaloo!" Rainbow Dash yelled as the other pony scampered off into the forest.

"Rai-Rain-Bow Dash?" Scootaloo staggered to speak,she was beat up pretty bad. One of her wings were broken,and her face was bruised. Both of her hind legs were broken,as well.

"Yes it is me...It is alright. They can't hurt you anymore." Rainbow Dash held the injured filly in her hooves,as she sobbed gently.

Rainbow Dash picked the pegasus up and put her on her back,and Rainbow Dash trotted off...very fast.

She didn't know whether she should take Scootaloo to the hospital or if she should just take care of the filly.

She couldn't get the thought out of her head,what the changlings were doing to those pour,innocent fillies...but she had to get Scootaloo to safety first.

She came up with a plan,she would drop Scoot off at the Pony hospital,and not let anypony see her enter or exit,because of the note.

"Come Alone"

But then,

Rainbow Dash was suddenly tackled to the ground by a pony,it was an ambush by the changelings.Her head was covered by a black wool bag.

She felt herself going into the air,she didn't feel Scootaloo on her back,anymore.They must of taken her back.

"WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME,HOOLIGANS!" She screamed,

"Shut up," a pegasus,holding Rainbow Dash,responded.

She felt herself get dropped into a tunnel,as she slid down it,she heard screaming and shouting,like somepony was getting tortured.

Rainbow Dash finally slid to the floor of the structure and was quickly pulled up,and the bag on her head was being removed.

She saw about five changeling guards,protecting this one changeling,she looked like Twilight,but with a bunch of holes drilled into her horn and hooves.

"Welcome,Rainbow.To the changeling hideout...I have been expecting you," She said as she smiled at Rainbow Dash,"My name is Ms.Twi-Slight.I suggest you call me Miss from now on." Twi-Slight said as she lifted up Rainbow Dash's head up with a hoof.

"Phhta." Rainbow spat in her face,out of pure hate,and she was instantly hit in the face by a changeling guard.

"Well...It looks like you don't want your friends back,BRING THEM OUT HERE!" She yelled across the throne room to a guard.

"As you can see,Rainbow Dash,we have collected these specimens,because all our other ones are old and usless.We need new flesh to breed with it.-"

"Breed with what?" Rainbow spoke up,inturrupting.

"With the Flie Virus of course,if a pony comes in contact with it,it instantly turns them into a 100% pure evil Changeling.That is if I don't just choose regulare poison and just kill them." Twi-Slight said with a chuckle,

"Why would you create something like this?"

"Well you see,several years ago,my uncle Discord...invisioned a discorded world with nothing but evil changelings,and him ruling them all...but apparently he couldn't put his brilliant plan into action because of six,little,stupid ponies."

"He deserved to DIE!" Rainbow Dash was struck in the face once more,by another guard holding her there.

"Hm...throw her in the dungeon,I am sick of her."

Twi-Slight was tired fo Rainbow Dash's smart mouth...she decided that she would let Scootaloo,Sweetie Bell,Applebloom,and Rainbow Dash to suffer even more.

These last written accounts are all that is left of what changelings did to their prisoners...each diary entry is by either: Scootaloo,Sweetie Bell,Applebloom,or Rainbow Dash.

Dear Diary,

                     I had been captured by the Flie tribe when me,Sweetie,and Applebloom were playing outside our clubhouse...I guess when we shouldn't of had...We were met by a tall mare,that said,that we shouldn't be out her all alone.She said she would take us back home.Sweetie lived with Rarity,Applebloom with her family. I lived with my sister,Rainbow Dash.

                                   She took us way past our homes...she took us to a sorta black castle,with things swarming all around...The mysterious mare was sorrouded by other black creatures,that seemed to resembled ponies in a way.

We entered a really big gate,that had guards all around it...We went inside,all I could here was screaming and shouting like somepony was being tortured.

I did not want to be in this place,but just then we were tackled to the ground and covered up with black bags...I am sure that Sweetie Bell and Applebloom were as afraid as I was.

              We were thrown into a cave,Sweetie used her magic to get us out of those black bags that covered us up.

I looked up and saw nothing but darkness...Then I thought for a second."Queen Chrystaliis would not of told her changlings to capture ponies like us...we hold no important infomation.",I was quickly inturrupted by a dark figure on the other side of the prison cell,it was the mare that had brought us here."Oh,silly foal.We do not work under Queen Chrystalis,she is dead. I rule the changelings now." she said with an evil laugh.

  I had to ask,"Why did you bring us to this evil place?"

"Well,to turn you into one of us of course," she walked off.

I shuttered,at the sight of me being a...a....changeling....a evil little creature,with a unquenshable thirst for blood and tyrany...

           Sweetie Bell looked at me with shock,so did Applebloom.

                "Scoot,why would she do this do us?" both of them asked out of desperation.

I just said,"I wish I could tell you." We were then shot with some sort of tranquilizer dart or something,I can't remember it detail by detail,it is just vague.

                    They took us to a testing facility in the castle,and seperated us. We were all very scared at this,and what we saw. Hundreds of innocent foals,being tortured by injection by needle. I saw some falling from higher floors to and endless abyss of a floor.

                                 I then saw Applebloom being injected by a needle,and so was Sweetie Bell. Then they injected me,I thought it would make me die,instantaniously,but it didn't. It made me feel powerful....evil...type of powerful.

I had passed out from the intense pleasure and adreneline that had just when through my small foal brain.

             I was dragged back to our cell,along with my friends.That had passed out as well.

We reside in this same exact cell,now...

                                 ~Sincerely,

                                       Scootaloo

                                                Signed by,

                                                          Sweetie Bell,Applebloom,and Scoot

Dear Diary,

                  I have been brought here against my will,of course. A creature know as Twi-Slight,

has put me in a cell. She has also captured the Cutie Mark Crusaders...I had tried to save them from her,but to no avail. I have to be stronger.

            Heh,well Dad I guess you were right,the changeling menace would never be gone for good. I should of listened to you.

All I can do is blame myself for all of this.

Soarin,oh Soarin I should of said goodbye.My what i wouldn't give to of spent at least one more minute with my stallion.

I had figured that the changelings had already "expeiremented" on Scoot,Sweetie,and Applebloom...But,if I ever get the chance I will rip that puny,usless head of that no good scum,Twi-Slight.

I had been raped,about a day ago...by a couple changeling guards.They said if I fought they would kill the ponies that I had come to save....So everytime they want to...you know...I let them,because I know if these changeling bastards are abusing me,atleast they are not taking advantage of Scoot,Sweetie,or Applebloom...They're first should not be in a dark,gloomy cave,against thier will. It should be with the one they love.

I'm glad I lost my...lets say "innocence" as someponies call it....to Soarin the one and only stallion I will ever love...and I was his first as well.

But,anyway,not the point....the point is that I will do everything in my power to free them from this dreadful place of abuse...
