I watch my captives as I escort them to solitary. My cold, icy blue eyes sparkle brilliantly. Gently I set them down on the floor for a moment as I sit down to rest. My suit slowly turns red as I lay against the wall, with the two beside me. Little does anyone save a few know that I have recently returned from a mission. During the mission I was severely injured but, I have yet to go to the infirmary. Instead I simply bandaged my wounds and have returned to work.

"Buck," I exclaim in agony. Placing a hoof against my side, I use my magic to slowly remove my suit. Bloody bandages cover my body as I do. Carefully I start to remove the old bandages, cringing as I do. From the look of them, it looks like they are from griffins.

Austin followed Rainbow Dash "So, the efficiency report came in, we're currently able to get 65% of the total Spectra from each captive used" He said "Other than that, nothing has happened today, so how are you today Mrs. Dash?"

Rainbow nods. "Other than that little outbreak, I'm doing fine. We've made about... 5 million bits off of what we get from the rainbows in the past few months." Rainbow taps her hooves on the table as she sits down. "Remember Scootaloo? Last words. 'You have beautiful eyes.' What a bucking wimp!" She laughs.

"She was a kind soul though Mrs. Dash, and to be honest, she was right about your eyes" Austin said "5 million bits... I've never heard of that much in one place before" He thought

((So what did you guys do with my character while i was offline?))

OOC: She is with my character, Shade.

((Okay...))

Belle had no fight left in her and was rather surprised when shade took her and evan without any hesitation from dash. Her wings felt unbelievably heavy and so they dragged slightly. Her ears folded back and she limped along thanks to the horrible bite mark on her leg. It was still bleeding but she wasnt crying or complaining even though it hurt. Belles ears were folded down not having any energy to hold them up and she started to slowly get light headed as she kept walking thinking that maybe she would die of blood loss.

After finishing bandaging myself up, I turn to Belle. Looking as the wound on her leg, I summon some more bandages. Placing a hoof on her shoulder I speak.

"Shh, its alright miss. Let me tend to that. You'll be alright," I say gently, running a hoof through her mane.

Rainbow blushes slightly at Austin's comment on her eyes, but shakes her head. "I guess she did her best, huh? Yeah. To be honest, I miss her sometimes." She says a bit sadly.

Limitless Skies finishes healing her wounds, and proceeds to head out the door towards the solitary confinement cells, humming a little tune as she trots up, brushing off the attack from before. Limitless reaches the cells, and yawns a bit as she knocks quietly on the door. Personality changes like this are normal - when Limitless was being brainwashed, she damaged her frontal lobe and lost some gray matter there - so ponies aren't really worried about it. They should be, though.

((EDIT)) Sugar pop's ears shot up when she heard the knock at the door. She could kind of guess who it was. "Let's see... Let me guess....Rainbow or Limitless...." She said with a smirk on her face, back against the door so if it opened she could slip through. She waited for a reply.

Austin walked over to Rainbow Dash and hugged her "Its ok, you did what you had to, I miss her too, but we need to stay focused on everyone that's alive, have you heard from the other Elements of Harmony lately? Maybe you should visit them, you work too hard sometimes Mrs. Dash" He said

If there was one thing that Evan had learned, it's that he could never trust anybody, especially those who appeared friendly at first; he had Austin to thank for that. He was hesitant to consume the food offered to him by Shade, even as he deteriorated to the point of being skin and bones and violently trembled with hunger. For all he knew, that meal was laced with something that could drug him into being more cooperative. As such, he resisted his ravenous appetite.

And he certainly didn't go quietly when his captor took him, practically screaming every expletive he knew as he was dragged away by the dark suited unicorn.

Belle was a bit uneasy as shade touched her and was actually surprised by how gentle he was. She was breathing a little heavy from blood loss and her vision was a bit fuzzy. As he spoke he sounded faint and as he finished she blacked out collapsing to the floor unconscious.

After sugar had patched herself back up, she used her bobypin and the needle from before to find a way to disengage the lock. "It should be riiiiiight.... *click*.... Gotcha" she peeked through the door, seeing nopony before walking out, closing the door. She krept with the shadows, making her way through the halls un noticed, no blood trailing and her breathing below normal.

OOC: Limitless was outside your door...? You couldn't have escaped.

((Wasnt specified clearly)) ((reread previous post))

Limitless closes her eyes, sensing slight heat if she backed against the door, and heard slow breathing with her ears pointed up. She could smell bubble gum, and promptly after she sensed this, she asks,
"How are you doing, Sugar Pop?" Slowly and hoarsely. (GET IT BECAUSE SHE'S A LITTLE HORSE AHAHAHAHHA i'll stop now) Limitless shoots out the blades from her hooves halfway, then waits patiently for a response.

Rainbow doesn't hug Austin back, but she doesn't push away either. "Maybe I should. I'll check up on Ponyville after the storm, then. I'm surprised they haven't come to me yet." Rainbow says calmly, swishing her black tail around.

"Well, I hope you'll be ok Mrs. Dash, I worry about you sometimes" Austin said as he let go of Rainbow Dash and looked at the floor

After finishing bandaging up Belle, I turn to my second captive. My eyes glint in the light of my horn. I push the food toward Evan.

"Eat, you'll need your strength. I promise there is nothing wrong with the food. I take a bit of bread and munch on it. See, nothing is wrong. Now eat," I say, finishing the bit of bread I have off.

Azure was sneaking up behind shade. "Yeah! Foods here delcious! Yummy gravy!" She said crouched down. Taking her katana and sticking it through the bars, slicing a bit of bread off. Azure pulled it back to her and ate the bit of bread on the blade. "Hehehe!" Azure laughed. Now dragging her katana against the other cellar bars. "Now you had all better behave and eat like you should, killing weak ponies is lame!" Azure said before laughing and leaving the prison room.

((Shade is a worker skull....))

Belle was unconscious for a short while. The bandaging helped stop the bleeding and she finally woke still weak and wobbly. Her head throbbed and she groaned.

Ooc: i know but he is talking to evan...

((Evan is with shade... Not in a cell...))

Sugar pop heard the sound of blades unsheathe but paid no mind. "Im doing great, thanks for asking" she laughed. "...hey, can i ask you a question?" She asked, trying to hold a conversation. "What is it you kill and why? Most killers have a purpose, what's yours?". Judging by her calmness and experience, it almost seems obvious that this isnt her first time being amongst murderers.

"Jealousy." Limitless simply states, before turning away from the door to stand guard. Soon tears start to form at her eyes, and she realizes she's finally found someone to talk to. Better to hold it up.
"Jealous because there were ponies everywhere who had their awesome friends, and I was walking through, alone. After I went into the indie gaming industry, all my friends were proceeding to be awesome and always there for them... and they kinda just... left me." Limitless sighs, a tear falling down her face, and her voice cracking a bit.

Rainbow smiles weakly. "I worry about myself, too." She wanders over to the desk. "We have about 67(coughreferencecough)% Spectra reserves left, we still need about 29% more if we want a decent rainbow." Rainbow sighs. "Could you call up the Flight Academy to see if they're testing today?"

"I'll check" Austin said with a nod before running to his office to call the academy "Hello, its me Austin, are you testing today? We need 29% more spectra, so if anyone fails, call me back, I'll go and get them"

Ooc: she snuck up behind shade who is out side of the cell, decided to prove shades theory about evan's food not being intoxicated, and stuck her blade through the bars taking off a bit of bread and pulling it back to herself.

Sugar was a little empathetic. "I understand...to be honest, if by any chance i do die here...might as well hjare my story...". "I was an orphan...but i've been resented my whole life. You see...my father....is a serial killer...my mother was one of his victims who barely got away. When i was born she couldn't bear the sight of the daughter of such a malicious creature" she fell silent for a moment. "I've always been alone, everyone was afraid, and so harsh to judge...". After laying her head back against the door she closed her eyes. A tear running down her cheek, but only one. She wiped it away quickly and shook her head to clear her thoughts. "I get it limitless...but i've never had a family to love me, never had friends, and never been normal" she added.

Evan eyed Shade warily before taking a reluctant bite of bread, never taking an eye off of the dapper unicorn for a second. He knew he was going to die, he might as well go on a full stomach. A grimace formed on his face at the bitter taste of the food; he was getting really sick of these bland prison meals.

Azure's sudden action was met with another Buck you from Evan. His language was never exactly clean, even before being imprisoned in this wretched facility, but he noted with some dismay that that seemed to be his automatic reaction to anypony that so much as looked at him funny. The blonde unicorn gave an aggravated sigh. What has this place done to him?

Austin finished leaving his message to the Flight Academy, he decided to find Evan, he walked to him and hugged him, something he never did to a prisoner "Evan, I know you hate me, but you have to believe me, it was this or be killed here... I'm sorry for everything I have done to you, I just want to be your friend again" He said, crying

Belle slowly sat up holding her head with a hoof and then looked over seeing Austin and she backed up. He was rainbow dashes right hoof. He was just as bad as her. She backed up and even though shade was there, who she kind of trusted, she was terrified. Her ears folded back and she pulled her wings around her and then was a bit surprised when Austin hugged Evan. do they know each other?!

"And was it worth it?" Evan growled, forcefully shoving the traitor away. "Was it worth taking hundreds- no -thousands of innocent lives just save your own? Was it worth cementing your reputation as one of the most notorious and hated ponies in all of Equestria!?" He looked Austin right in the eyes, the eyes he once thought were windows to a kind and generous soul, but could now see belonged to a deceptive, selfish pegasus, glistening with crocodile tears. Evan spoke in a cold, unforgiving voice.

"Was it worth losing your own best friend?"

Austin looked down "No..." Was all he said before walking to the Grinding Room, he sat in front of the Grinder, pondering if he should jump in it or not

I gently place a hoof on Belle and Evan. My icy blue eyes glisten as I do. Sighing but cringing in pain I put my suit back on. After I am fully clothed I speak.

"Do not be afraid you two. I swear I will not hurt you. Also Evan, I'll see about getting better food for you, the next time I visit, I say with a small smile, cringing in pain as I kneel beside Belle. How's the wound dear," I ask gently, trying not to draw attention to my own injuries.

The large door on the western side of the facility opens suddenly, and a single, bouncy pegasus colt steps into the Factory, clueless of its intentions. Two guards escort him inside, then walk away and close the gate.

Name: Cobalt Flash
Gender: Male
Age: 11 in human years
Species: Pegasus
Side: Captive
Rank: N/A
Personality: Naive, unobservant, shaky, hyperactive
History: Cobalt was scared to death of flight, and therefore never learned proper skills. He nearly failed every class, only getting a D rather than the usual F on his diving test. He took the Flight Test without fear, but broke both wings in the process of doing so, both being stuck up.
Appearance: A short pegasus colt with two broken, bloody wings and a moderately dark shade of blue that colors his coat. Cobalt's eyes are a brilliant orange and he has a two-toned purple and jade mane and tail. His mane is styled back like a small version of Soarin's hair, and his tail is curved directly downwards. Extremely famished-looking.
Other: Awoken and crap

Cobalt is standing, unsure of what to do, when a cloaked, blue mare flies towards him and nods. She gestures for him to take her hoof, so he does. Promptly, the mare flies up to a wall at the start of the grinding catwalk, opening a door labeled "Reserves", and throwing him inside. It's dark inside, and Cobalt can't see his own hooves. He calls for help, but it seemingly rebounds maddeningly around him. He covers his ears and tears stream down his cheeks.

Rainbow walks away from the door and flies back to her office. She takes off the cloak and sits back down in her chair.

Austin watched the grinder at work as Cobalt went down the line, he walked back to Rainbow Dash's office "Mrs. Dash... I need your advice... I'm starting to think we're doing a bad thing... I think I'm a horrible pony..." He said as he started to cry, he usually didn't show emotions like this to Rainbow Dash

Belle had taken notice to Shades pain. "Im fine... Thank you... But you... Your hurt... You helped me.. Let me help you... I may be a clumsy flier but im a good first aid...." She said her voice kind and caring even though most of her hope of life outside the factory was basically lost.

I cringe and nod. Looking around I make sure we aren't being followed. Then slowly I stand, trying my best to ignore the pain.

"Alright, miss you can tend to me, but not here. It is not safe for you two. Come, once we are inside my place, it'll be safe, I say, helping the two up, before leading them away toward my place. We come to a heavily reinforced steel door with the symbol with a series of symbols upon it. There is no visible lock for the the door. Touching the symbols in certain order, I stand back. The door swings open to reveal a large well furnished room with a large bed as well as much more. Enter you two, I'll follow," I say gently nudging them.

Belle followed Shade worried about his condition and went inside the large room a bit uneasy about it all and a bit fearful that this may be a trick. Belles ears fell back when Azure showed up and she backed up a bit keeping her head low.

Ooc: okay this ninja stuff is getting annoying for me. I'm just gonna say that she was on her way to the spectrum facility and ran into shade telling her to keep and eye on the captives and not knowing evan and belle is in his room

This post should be right above post #88

"ANYHOOO THEN!" Azure shouted. "Hey, ya better make sure they're fed and taken care of, not the bad kind. And make sure they are out of trouble, cause trouble means..." Azure said to Shade lfting up her katana holding it over the right side of her face. "Execution! Only had to kill one... That little twerp scooter was it? If anyone isn't in line send them to me post haste, I'm really craving the whine of the strong, huehehehehe! Now then I'm gonna go fill out that new rainbow order for the huge storm. Ta-ta!" Azure said trotting off happily to the spectrum creation facility.

Evan silently followed along with Shade and Belle, never letting his guard down for a minute. He knew he should've felt bad about telling Austin off like that, but he really didn't. He stepped into Shade's room scowling at Azure as she trotted by, still not trusting the suited pony any farther than he could throw him. Despite that, he did feel marginally less uneasy around him, mostly because he was the only worker barring Austin to show him even the slightest amount of kindness or respect.

Belle looked over at Evan. "s-so... Evan right? Um... Why is a unicorn like you here? I thought they only took the Pegasi who fail their test.... And.. why does rainbow dashes right hoof act so friendly to you?" She asked.

I usher them inside quickly before closing the door behind us. It seals with a loud click of metal. Now they are alone and no one can disturb them.

"Shh, everything is fine. You're safe. I promise, I say stroking them both gently with my hooves.
I lay down on my couch and remove my suit, so that Belle can treat me. Anyway there is some cheese and some other good food in the refrigerator if you two are hungry," I say with a friendly smile, despite my pain.

Belle looks at him getting a bit uncomfortable from shades strange stroking of her and evans manes but brushed it off and went over to patch him up being really careful not to cause him more pain.

The pale green unicorn seemed a little startled by the Pegasus that had accompanied them, only really noticing her for the first time just then. An immediate sense of concern came to him at the sight of her- and he thought he had it bad, at least he didn't nearly have his face sliced off! For the first time in what felt like ages, Evan offered a genuine smile. "Yeah, I thought we were friends..." he said, looking down at the floor. "But then he comes up to me one day and tries to get me to work here. So I'm all like, 'What kind of a freak do you think I am?' then one thing led to another, and to make a long story short, I wound up here."

Though he wouldn't admit it, Shade's room was actually pretty nice, at least in comparison to the rest of the slaughterhouse out there. That being said, he still got a shifty vibe from Shade himself, but still nodded in his direction and took up his invitation to grab a block of cheese from the refrigerator, collapsing on the bed taking a small bite out of it. Normally his paranoia would get the better of him and convince him that it was all a trap, a ploy to lower his guard, but after all those years of abuse, he really didn't care, and welcomed this change of atmosphere with open hooves.

Belle was quick to patch up shade and listened to Evan the entire time. Her ears fell back. "Im sorry... What a horrible way to end a friend ship..." She said looking at him. She knew she was hungry but was to focused on keeping composure to eat.

((Post seemed to have been missed, or if limitless is no longer present, perhaps moving Sugar OUT of confinement?...))

Hearing Belle's belly grumble loudly, I know she is hungry. Holding the bandage that she recently has wrapped, I sit up slowly. Taking a breath, I speak.

"Belle, go eat dear. You can finish tending to me afterwards. I'm not going anywhere, I just hope you two come to trust me. I am not at all like the others," I say.

Belle shook her head slightly. "Im okay... i just need to rest ill be fine...." She had an awful habit of not taking care of herself and usually ended up sick from lack of eating.

I look her in the eyes and shake my head. Still holding the bandage, I gently stroke her. As I do this, I speak.

"Belle, please go eat. You're malnourished. You need to eat. I'll be alright for a little bit," I say, smiling.

Belle looked at him. "Really im fine. Thank you for your concern but... Please stop touching me...." She said finishing his bandages and then walking over and laid on the floor next to the bed and staring at the wall.
