We walked into a long, narrow hallway. The clouds where a dark grey, and seemed to get darker the further you went. "Where do you think we're exiled?" Moondust asked, "dunno mother always said it was a truly barbaric and hellish place, I'm happy she won't see me again, she'd kill me when finding out I failed." I nodded and stayed quiet, my mother had no doubt got the letter saying I had failed. A single tear left my eye. "Ahhhh finally." A voice said, as an intimidating Pegasus walked out from the clouds, his bloodstained coat was a blue and his blonde mane and tail glistened of the stuff. His dark Crimson eyes studied us with pure hate, and evil intent. "Move you worthless prices of shit! I'm on strict orders from the overmare to bring you to your "exile!" He growled and pulled out a taser. There was shuffling and numerous other ponies -masked head to hoof in black suits- ran out from the clouds. A sharp pain started to ring through my body as I realised I was being forced down by one of the masked ponies and tasered to unconsciousness. "Please, s-s-stop." I whimper quietly as blackness started to override my vision. My body was writhing and jerking from the intense voltage firing through my body. The pain slowly faded as I met with darkness.

"Swift, get up!" Music was shouting in the distance, "swift, you have to get up now." She was getting closer and closer each word she spoke. I blinked open my eyes and groaned in pain as I sat up. I blinked my eyes getting rid of the dazzling spots, and let my eyes adjust. Looking around we where in a dark room, the only light coming from the three small windows in the door, I look about and listened, there was a loud mechanical whirring, and crashing from other parts of the building, I looked behind me to see something glisten on the wall, "um guys." I said nervously, looking up at the wall the words "WELCOME TO THE FACTORY" was written in the Crimson liquid, "guess there's no exile." Moondust muttered. "Ahhhh welcome!" The doors opened to revile a tall orange unicorn who was smiling maliciously at us. "Welcome you worthless piles of crap. I am doctor oddity I am second in command of this facility. Now follow me." He said his red stained lab coat flowing behind. "Now have any of you guessed where you are?" The unicorn said, "um the weather factory?" Music said in a small voice. "Why yes, you truly do live up to your name miss glow, pity, there won't be much left of you after the overmare is finished." "W-what?" She said, "now we are in the spectra department of the factory, the upper weather factory, this is where all the colours of the rainbows that span across Equestria are made." He said in a almost too cheerful voice, I looked around the dark factory, the walls glowing a gold-brown from the dim low hanging factory lights. As we walked we had to duck and weave in and out of low pipes and loose wires, "now you mustn't run off when in this facility, we use lots of equipment that can be dangerous and cause you quite a lot of harm. I mean, we'd be unable to use you if you became more useless." He looked down at is with cold brown eyes, the hate being magnified by the lenses of the goggles he wore. "Now long a go, a good thousand years or so before princess Celestia banished her sister, she was in charge of raising the sun and showering the land with rainbows. When given the burden of raising the moon as well then she gave the job to us Pegasi in Cloudsdale to make the rainbows. For years Powerful unicorns where sent to create the spectra artificially. But the rainbows didn't have the same shine, until one day our scientists had a break through and found a simpler more exciting way to make rainbows. Anyway through here." He smiled and opened a door to a room full of other failures. I only knew our one choice was to continue through this twisted game that we where being force to play.
