The next day, Rainbow Dash woke up with a strong urge to follow the mysterious voice she heard in her dreams. Pushing her doubts aside, she decided to visit the abandoned castle at the edge of the Everfree Forest. As she flew closer, the castle revealed its decrepit and eerie exterior.

Inside the castle, Rainbow Dash was startled by strange noises and shadows lurking in the corners. Ignoring her instincts, she pressed on. Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared before her, chanting in a voice that sent shivers down her spine.

Mesmerized by the haunting figure, Rainbow Dash couldn't move as it placed a curse upon her. From that moment onward, she would experience nightmares and hallucinations that blurred the line between reality and the twisted depths of her imagination.

Rainbow dash ran from the figure as fast as her hooves could carry her, only to find that she was trapped in an endless loop of her worst fears and memories from alternate realities that corresponded with her everyday life choices.

Rainbow dash ran into a nightmare that seemed so surreal that she tried to make sense of it... Rainbow dash entered the city of cloudsdale to only see boarded up windows and rainbow colored blood covered the ground as she saw a sign that read "Go to the Factory for the answer".

Rainbow dash followed the sign's instructions and went to the factory.
