Chapter 10: Mistakes Can Be Dangerous 3.0
Author's Note: Woo, so much homework. Nah, not really. Only AP Government stuff that's due next month. Omg, September is like halfway over, which means…PONIES ARE ALMOST HERE! Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. *Insert Twilight jumping* I can't wait. :D
Awh shucks, thank you so much Bwaped. I didn't even know I had much of any skill for writing. Seriously, I used to get like 2's on my writing tests. Last year I got my first 4 on any state writing test ever. It was so awesome. About the shipping, I'm not too sure if I will. But I just might, I don't know. I'll have to think it over. Speaking of shipping, I had no idea people shipped Twilight and Spike together. That's just…ew. Why? They're like siblings.
-.-
And yes, I have taken the whole pony morphing into humans needing to adjust into consideration before the incident I made for Rainbow Dash. Thank you for letting me know, although I already ran my mind around that beforehand. Still, it's really thoughtful of you to tell me just in case I didn't know. (: –NinjaDino4

Rainbow began to gain consciousness, though her eyesight was still a bit fuzzy. The back of her head felt very warm, like a stream of sunlight covered just the one area. She quickly realized that she was tied to some hard metallic surface. The room was extraordinarily dark, to the point where surrounding objects were barely visible.
"Where am I?" She muttered, struggling her legs and arms, but only moving them centimeters if anything. "Why can't I move?"
She closed her eyes feeling doubtful her situation could get any better. The last thing she could remember was being outside. Dash could picture standing in the driveway, but everything after that was a big blur.
Something stirred nearby. Rainbow's heart began to pound right out of her chest. Slowly opening her eyes the figure came closer.
"Wh-who are you?" She asked nervously, biting her bottom lip. "Where am I?"
"Darling, you aren't the brightest, are you? Who else would it be?" The man stepped next to the metal table and turned on a dim lamp lighting the area slightly. He whispered the last part in her ear, making sure that she would get the message. "As for your location, let's just say...secluded."
Rainbow gulped loud enough to where it seemed to echo around the room. She had no idea what this was about. All she knew was that her friends wouldn't be able to save her; the only one who would be able to save her, was herself. The only thing that came to her mind was to not show any fear, as that would cause the situation to become worse.
"What do you want? Why go to all this length?" She asked in a monotone like voice despite being defenseless in her situation. "What's the point of tying me up?"
He snarled at her question, but started laughing. "You know, I thought you'd be a regular...but I was wrong. I was wrong about you. Your will is too strong, but you'll regret it. Nobody says no to me...and lives." He flashed her one of his all too common sadistic smiles.
Her eyes widened at the thought. What was she supposed to do? How was she supposed to overcome him? Bullies in Equestria only wanted to bring her down, but this guy, he wanted to take her down. The feeling overwhelmed Rainbow Dash to the point where her head began to pound.
"What's that...supposed to mean?" Rainbow questioned knowing full well what he was insinuating.
"Enough talk. I want to jump straight to this, sweet cheeks." The dealer responded slowly wheeling a cart that had sharp objects all over it.
He placed his hand on a rusty knife slowly wrapping his fingers around it.
"No, please, just let me go." Rainbow begged tugging at the ropes attached to her wrists. They began to chafe her skin, but that was the least of concern to her.
"Fine. I won't use them." He replied softly, his eyes lazily looking over her body. "Yet."
He cracked his knuckles and quickly struck the side of her face with his fist. Dash's head jerked to the side and a couple of her teeth fell to the ground making a tiny sound. Blood trickled down the corners of her lips.
"Now don't talk back to me, babe. Do it again and I'll knock all your teeth out." He threatened, squeezing both of her cheeks. "Got it?"
She couldn't even manage to make out any words. Rainbow nodded her head showing that she understood his request.
"Good." He smiled, yet walked to the corner of the room and picked up a wooden object.
Rainbow watched in anticipation, but mostly fear. Her lip started to quiver, all while she could hear a faint buzzing noise.
"Just to get the point across better, ya know, in case you forget." He swung the wooden baseball bat connecting it to the other side of her face creating an unbearable cracking noise followed by more blood and muffled screams of pain.
"Your screams give me pleasure." He stated stroking the side of her face with his hand. "I just hope I can get more out of you."
He picked up the rusty knife and grabbed her right arm. Rainbow Dash watched in horror hoping to Celestia it was just a nightmare. A terrible, terrible nightmare.
"Please...I...can't...just...stop..." She pleaded, with each breath Rainbow felt lighter headed. It was as if any moment she would fall back into unconsciousness.
"I'm sorry, did you say something?" He asked sarcastically. Taking her arm in a tight grip he slid the knife across her wrist creating a deep cut. The crimson liquid ran down her arm dripping onto the floor.
Rainbow clenched her left hand in a ball and shut her eyes tightly. He continued to slit her wrist with many different cuts, each one feeling more painful than the last.
Finally satisfied with his work he preceded to her other arm. The mutilated limb laid limply covered in blood.
"You...don't have to...do this..." Rainbow muttered as her left eye twitched almost unnoticeably. "I...I won't tell anyone...I'll do anything...please...just stop..."
"You really want me to stop?" He asked getting a slight nod in response. "Shoot, I thought we were havin fun. Guess I'll have to kick it up a notch."
Tears began to prick the corners of her eyes making them shimmer with beauty regardless of what was happening.
"Don't worry, I'll be gentle." He assured her slowly mimicking what he did to her other arm. Rainbow tried desperately to keep from screaming.
All she could do was take everything. Her jaw felt like it had been snapped in half, blood poured from her mouth and her wrists were now covered in gashes. That wasn't even the end of all the torture and she knew it.
"Now that's better." He said admiring his work of art that covered Rainbow Dash's arms. Taking the knife to his mouth he swiped a finger across it. He proceeded to lick the blood off. "You're not that bad. I'd say pretty delicious."
She glared at him, making sure it was like daggers stabbed him right in the eyes.
"That's not even the best part. This might be a little less harsh. Maybe." He stated moving his hands to her sides.
The man began to tickle the sides of her stomach, causing her to giggle.
"Sto-stop it. Stop it." She cried out in a fit of laughter. She couldn't imagine why he would do this considering everything else he had done so far.
After several minutes Rainbow soon realized just how much torture tickling could be. She squirmed trying to escape the man, but miserably failed at any attempt. Rainbow began to cry as her body cringed in pain. Her stomach felt queasy with each passing second as she gasped for air.
"Sto-sto-" She began, but the contents of her stomach lurched upwards making her hurl acid mixed with blood all over the floor. Thankfully the last moment she turned her head to the side completely missing her body.
He felt satisfaction in her cries of misery. Feeling as if she endured enough he stopped tickling her. A sick smile ran across his face as he stared at her pale bloody body.
Rainbow Dash breathed heavily trying to calm down. To no avail she started having a panic attack. Her heart thumped faster than a rabbit's.
The drug dealer smirked for a moment before exiting the room.
Rainbow tried desperately to regulate her breathing. She felt as if her heart was going to burst any moment, unless the man killed her first.
The dealer walked back to Dash with a metal brander in his hands.
"I'm kind of tempted to keep you alive." He said bringing the object back a little. The man unzipped her pants and pulled them down exposing her thighs. "Of course you'll need to be labeled."
Rainbow was so focused on her erratic heartbeats that she didn't notice what was about to happen.
The dealer thrust the piping hot end right onto her bare skin melting away the tissue which would soon turn into a scar shaped into the letters D and M.
"AAAAAAAAAHHH!" Rainbow screamed at the top of her lungs. The man quickly grabbed her tongue exposing it to the outside of her mouth. He dropped the brand on the ground leaving smoke that billowed off of her leg. Using his free hand he grabbed a nasty looking tong off the cart which was capable of grasping onto limbs.
"You scream that loud ever again and I'll rip your fuckin tongue out." He growled, while his eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets.
She whimpered in fear, tears streaming down her beaten face.
The man released her tongue and placed the tongs back on the cart. He picked up a slightly smaller knife than the one he used before. Taking it up to Rainbow's face he created many small cuts on her cheeks letting tiny trails of blood trickle down to her chin which then dropped onto her shirt, staining it.
Instead of crying and screaming she bit down on her tongue holding everything in. Her heart was still beating rapidly making her feel weird, yet she assumed it was nothing out of the ordinary considering the position she was in.
Putting the small knife on the table he quickly popped her square in the nose making some bones snap within seconds. He pounded his fist right near her eye making it swell instantly.
"Had enough?" He asked, taunting Dash. "I don't think so." The man moved down to her legs and grabbed her right one. Bracing himself he grasped her knee and ankle. In only a moment he jerked both areas to the side causing the bone to break and stick out.
Rainbow squealed in pain, it was excruciating. She glanced down and saw the condition causing her to almost puke. Somehow she held it all down, but she began to grow a metallic taste in her mouth. Most people would assume it was due to the blood, but it was slightly different if compared.
"This...is beautiful. Words...can't explain the beauty of my work." He laughed maniacally. "But...it's missing something."
Dash's eyes widened. "HEEEEEELP!" She screamed as loudly as she could hoping that somebody would hear her.
"I thought I told you to shut the fuck up?!" He yelled grabbing the tongs and ripping open her mouth. The man tried to clamp down on her tongue, but Dash thrashed trying to break free.
Suddenly the door busted open, falling to the floor with a thud.
"Freeze! Put your hands up, now!" The female officer yelled catching both of them off guard.
The drug dealer turned around in shock.
"She said now! Do it!" The male officer yelled pointing his gun right at the man's head.
Without hesitation he dropped the tongs and put his hands up. He was immediately handcuffed and pushed to the ground.
The male officer rushed to Rainbow's side. "Don't worry; you're not in danger anymore. We've come to save you." He said with a warm smile untying the ropes around her ankles and wrists.
Rainbow's left eye began to twitch slowly, but rapidly sped up.
"Ma'am, are you okay?" He asked worriedly placing his hand on hers.
Rainbow's body began to convulse violently causing the whole table the shake.
"Oh my god! She's having a seizure!" The female officer shouted pushing the drug dealer further into the ground.
"Holy shit!" The male officer shouted. He quickly held her head to the side and used his other hand to grab his walkie talkie. He held down the button. "Quick! Send in a couple guys and a stretcher! The victim's having a seizure!"
"I cannot wait anymore! This is completely nerve wracking and unbearable." Rarity whined, crossing her arms and huffing in frustration.
Applejack put a hand on Rarity's shoulder showing empathy. "We're all feelin like this. Ahm sure they'll get her out lickety split."
"I can't help, but feel like this is all my fault." Emma sighed hopelessly. "Maybe…if I looked out for her, this would've never happened. I swear to god, if something terrible went down in there I'm going to snap."
"You did everything you could. Don't feel bad about it." Jaden responded putting his head down. "If anyone should feel bad, it'd be me. I'm the one who was always being a huge jerk."
"Come on everybody! We shouldn't be so negative. We all just have to be super happy that we tracked down Dashie so fast! So come on, smile!" Pinkie beamed and then dropped in attitude just as quickly. "Oh, who am I kidding?" She slumped down low, even further than her frown.
"Look! Someone's coming out of the building." Fluttershy stated grabbing everybody's attention.
They all jumped up from the edge of the sidewalk and gathered in a group right next to the ambulance. The two paramedics wheeled over Rainbow Dash on a stretcher. The six gasped at the sight of her. She was an absolute wreck.
"Oh my god." Emma mumbled. "Rainbow…"
"Wha-what happened to her?" Twilight stuttered, her mouth hung.
The two men allowed them to say a goodbye to her before they took off to the hospital.
"Wait." Pinkie said as soon as the men were about to load her onto the vehicle.
"Make it quick." The two said allowing her one final word.
Pinkie grabbed Rainbow's shaky hand and gave it a light squeeze which Dash returned to her best ability. She gave Rainbow a big smile which the element of loyalty gave a faint back.
Rainbow Dash's grip began to loosen while her chest rose much slower with each passing moment.
Dash muttered something before endlessly staring into space. Her chest stopped rising, while her mouth was left slightly open.
Pinkie's smile faded noticing her friend seemed a bit off.
"Dashie? You okay?" Her voice cracked as she poked Rainbow's face, not getting any sort of response. "Dashie?"
One of the paramedics felt for a pulse on Dash's neck. There was nothing. He put his ear to her chest. Still no heartbeat.
"Code red! Code red!" He shouted to the other paramedic who quickly reached into the ambulance.
Pinkie's heart sank. It sank like a cement block in the ocean. A single tear rolled down her cheek and hit the pavement. She backed up far away from Rainbow Dash and collapsed on the ground, overwhelmed with sorrow. Her hair popped like a balloon that was pricked by a pin.
Her friends comforted her. They hardly ever saw Pinkie act this way. They themselves had no idea to react, but Pinkie Pie seemed devastated.
"She...she just...right in my grasp..." She choked through tears.
None knew what to say. They all gave her a supportive hug trying desperately to make the element of laughter feel better.
"She deserved it. One more idiot off the streets. " The man stated being shoved by the male officer.
The seven turned around only to see the drug dealer who killed their friend. Rarity stood up, she was furious. It was written all over her face.
She angrily stomped over to the man and pushed him back.
"Hey! Watch it, toots!" He yelled, gritting his teeth.
"Never! You ruffian!" She growled. "You killed my friend. I will destroy you!" Rarity cocked her fist ready to beat up the guy.
Emma and Jaden jumped up holding Rarity back.
"Let go of me!" She screamed powerfully.
"We can't. You can't hurt him." Both responded.
"You're taking his side? Are you insane?!" She complained flailing her legs.
"If you hit him you could get arrested too. I'm just trying to save you." Emma explained.
Rarity sat down on the ground and crossed her arms.
"Is...is this it? Is this just gonna happen?" Twilight asked walking over to Emma and Jaden.
"What do you mean?" Jaden asked.
"Everything! We don't belong here, but regardless everything bad has happened!" She yelled. "One of us is dead, one of us is mentally scarred for life and the rest of us are going to have to deal with both of those things!"
"I-I-I...I'm so sorry..." Emma put a hand on Twilight's shoulder only for it to get shrugged off.
Fluttershy stood up with a look of determination.
"What're you up ta?" Applejack questioned.
Fluttershy walked over towards Rainbow Dash without saying a single word. The six followed her curiously.
She approached Dash's body and stared angrily at it.
"Now you listen here! You're going to wake up, missy! You're going to wake up right now! Are you going to let some meanie just take you down? Are you?! The big bad Dash is going to let some jerk take her down?! Grow some skin! Take a hit and wake up! NOW!" She screamed, but soon realized what she said. "I mean...if that's okay with you..."
"Wow..." The seven muttered in unison.
Rainbow Dash's chest slowly rose, almost unnoticeable except to a trained eye.
"What's this?" One of the paramedics felt her neck and thought he felt a pulse. He checked her wrist, but still couldn't tell. Putting his ear to her chest he found a faint heartbeat.
"She's...alive...she's been dead for six whole minutes...and now she's alive..." He stated in shock.
I really could've cut it off right before she came back to life, but that would've been a bit too mean. Tickling sucks, forreal though. I hate it. That stuff gets intense. If there is any mistakes, I deeply apologize. Oh man, today I was sketching ponies on my notes cause I was so bored and this dude thought they were horses and he seemed so impressed with my Pinkie Pie. He made me draw a pony on his test. It was pretty funny. I guess. My days are so lame if that's like the highlight of it all. .-.
