- >Equestria day [unknown]
- >Lurk moar
- ---------------------
- >>The colorful world around your eyes was beginning to fade away
- >>Celestia had taken everything from you
- >>Your friends were gone
- >>Your sanity was breaking
- >>Memories were fading
- >>Your whole life in Equestria was over
- >>Every memory you made there was being torn from you
- >>The colorful world that you once knew was being replaced before your eyes
- >>And you couldn't stop it
- >>But even though each moment of your life was being ripped from you piece by piece
- >>In your mind you screamed her name over and over
- >>You began to forget then, forget about Twilight and Spike, about Rarity and Applejack and Fluttershy too
- >>Ponyville and Canterlot, Cloudsdale and the Everfree Forest, eventually you even forgot about Equestria
- >>But only one thing would not shake from your mind, you thing you can remember from a world you never visited
- >>A cyan blue pegasus with a rainbow mane, and beautiful rosy eyes
- >>Her name, you screamed it as you fell into the ever expanding grey abyss
- >>Never to forget her as long as your heart beat and your lungs filled with air
- >>You could not, and would not, forget Rainbow Dash
- >>An alarm began beeping to your left
- >>You groan and slap the thing off your dresser
- >>It crashes to the ground as you sit up in your bed, rubbing your sore eyes
- >>You swear you had the strangest dream last night
- >>You toss the grey blankets off you and stand up
- >>Stretching out your body pops in several places
- >>That felt so damn good
- >>Run a hand through your short hair, it feels wet
- "Who was that anyways? Rainbow Dash?"
- >>Your hand's wet now, when you look at it though
- >>A slightly less girly scream comes out your mouth
- >>Your hand, or better, your whole body was no longer grey
- >>You were a multitude of color, just like your dream
- >>But as you look around your room, everything was grey, the way it always was
- >>Why were you a different color than everything else
- >>You shake your head and leave the room
- >>At least your parents are gone, that was a relief
- >>But they weren't coming back, that was agony
- >>They left you alone, forever more
- >>You fix up something to eat and head outside
- >>Everything was still grey around you, except the only bits of nature left
- >>Humans only left a few of the parks around the world, the rest were torn down
- >>Used to build factories or homes
- >>And the rest was being debated on being removed for good
- >>You never noticed it before, but now, the park looked wonderful
- >>Yesterday you would have just saw it as a park to go play in
- >>Now it looks much more than that, it looked so full of life
- >>Each new shade of color painted more life into the canvas beyond it
- >>A canvas of bland grey, of grey buildings and people
- >>People except you that is
- >>Then you realized what you should have before walking out the door
- >>Could others see your new colors
- >>Your eyes dart left and right
- >>To your relief, nobody notices you at all
- >>Even when they looked your way, they didn't seem to notice you at all
- >>A sigh of relief washes over you
- >>But now it was time to figure out that dream you had
- >>And about this Rainbow Dash that wont leave your mind
- >>Your first stop is the closest library
- >>Because everything is stored in a database, there was sure to be a something on Rainbow Dash
- >>The doors slid open when you approach and slide close when you get through
- >>You were looking for the search database
- "Lets see here..."
- >>You take the card from your pocket and swipe it through the scanner
- >>"Anonymous, access has been granted. Welcome."
- >>A female robot voice tells you as the screen turns a light blue shade
- >>Your fingers begin to tap around on the screen
- "Rainbow..Dash..."
- >>Enter
- >>The screen began to move things around, images, words, people, the whole nine yards
- >>It stopped on a cyan blue pegasus cartoon p0ny
- >>"Rainbow Dash found."
- >>You give the screen a puzzled look, the p0ny was the same but you've never once seen it in your life
- >>You tap the screen once more
- "Database location?"
- >>The screen began to send things around at a high speed
- >>It stopped at the database you wanted
- >>"36.9.3.11 /mlp/"
- >>You tap the 'log out' button in the corner and walk off to find the database
- >>A pair of eyes watched you go the whole way
- >>After winding your way through the labyrinth of standing database computers you come to the computer
- >>You scan your card again
- >>"Anonymous, access has been granted. Welcome."
- >>The screen turns a light blue again
- >>Now that you thought about it, these computer screens seemed to always be full of color
- >>Why couldn't the world be that way
- >>Forgetting the thought you tap into the screen 'Rainbow Dash'
- >>Enter
- >>It beings to swirl information around like the first
- >>It stops to show you four numbers
- >>1, 2, 3, and 4
- >>These numbers dont mean anything to you, you tap 1
- >>[No info available]
- >>You tap 2
- >>[No info available]
- >>You tap 3
- >>On the screen is the old cartoon show 'My little pony'
- >>You never got into it when you were a kid, not that it was really interesting anyways
- >>You find a picture of Rainbow Dash in the gallery
- >>Not her, exit out
- >>Tap 4
- >>This one was made a few years back, around 2010, you remember
- >>You scroll around a bit more
- >>Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie
- >>Yeah, this was the one
- >>You scroll around for more information
- >>More importantly, why you had a strange dream about Rainbow Dash if you never saw the show
- >>Open a file
- >>Needs a password
- "What?"
- >>No file in the library needed a password, it should be open for viewing
- >>You think about getting one of the librarians to help
- >>But you dont need that, it should be a simple password to find
- >>File name, equestriadaily.docx
- >>Move the screen to the side, search equestria daily
- >>Url found, you click it
- >>"URL no longer available"
- >>Fuck
- >>Look for when it went down
- >>Sometime in October last year
- >>Look for when it went online
- >>Sometime January 2011
- >>Type the date it went offline as the password
- >>Incorrect
- >>Type the date it went online as the password
- >>Incorrect
- "Fuck, what else is there."
- >>You begin to file through what the file let you into
- >>Much of it was useless
- >>Some of it was just gibberish too
- >>61895144198916 919 131793
- >>You start to go over the numbers again, something or anything about them
- >>Something off about them, a pattern, a code, some sort of encryption
- >>You stare at the last three sets of numbers again
- >>If you convert it all to letters maybe
- >>Maybe there was a hint, or maybe it was a password encrypted into the encryption
- >>They've done that before, you found one like it
- >>You start to do it in your head
- "A,Y,E,F,U,A,F,V,X,Z,Y,E,W,I,N,V,P,E,Q,N,M,E,C,Y,X,M,E..."
- >>You continued down the list, words began to appear from the scramble
- >>You get to the end and smile
- >>The end sentence was the password
- >>Type it into the file, a little click sound, and the file opens for you
- >>Read through the thing, most of it is useless information
- >>Conventions, Fanart, Stories, then you get to the last entry
- >>Dated on the day the site went down, ten minutes before it did to be exact
- >>The title in bold letters, 'Can you make it to Equestria?'
- >>It was basically a challenge to see who could locate and then traverse a forest to get to Equestria
- >>It seemed to be a fake, except the location they gave
- >>The location they gave was the last park left in the world, right in your city
- >>Quickly you log off the computer and turn to run out
- >>A baton cracks into your face
- >>The blow was hard enough to make you stumble back, but soft enough to only clack your jaw
- >>You stumble to recollect yourself
- >>Your attacker doesn't waste time to take you out
- >>He already has the baton over his head and brings it down
- >>The next part your not sure of, you didn't even think about it
- >>His arm went down and you caught his forearm on your left shoulder
- >>In a heartbeat, you punched up on his elbow, his arm cracked upwards in an unnatural way
- >>His eyes went wide with pain and he opened his mouth to scream
- >>You grab his mouth with your right hand and put your weight behind it
- >>He falls and you dig your knee into his stomach
- >>His breath is caught in your hand, his screams are muffled
- >>With your left arm you begin to pound on his face
- >>His left arm moves and you dig your knee into his upper abdomen
- >>His breath is caught in your hand again and you pound on him harder
- >>Your attacker goes unconscious with your last punch and you make sure he stays that way
- >>Unclench your fist for once in the last five minutes
- >>Their knuckles have been white, and covered in his blood
- >>A gash over his eye and lip ooze crimson blood
- >>Your not stupid to just cut and run, this guy meant to hurt you good
- >>You search around his suit until you grab something from the inner pocket
- >>His badge, CIA agent Clark Orens
- >>What the fuck is he doing here
- >>You keep searching him
- >>Wallet, keys, badge, then you grab what you wanted
- >>His gun, not some cop gun either, this was a M1911 Colt
- >>You jam it into your inner jacket pocket
- >>Then you drag his body away from view
- >>When you stepped out of the library, the sun glared at you
- >>Having to shield your eyes from its rays, you've forgotten what it was like to be a shut-in
- >>The air seemed tense
- >>And so were you
- >>You had to get to the park, and you had to do it without getting caught
- >>That guy was going to wake up soon, so you had to hurry already
- >>The gun you pulled off him would be shit if they all came for you full force
- >>You push your way through the crowd of people walking the main street
- >>And make a dash for the Ever Forest
