"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH" screamed both Dash and Dashie as they're being tossed through a colorful cylinder, which had mirror like exteriors and within those mirrors, other version of themselves passed by without them knowing. Before they know it, they were tossed out and floating above a beautiful huge neon city. As they free fall, the Rainbow Shard fell between them, Dashie grabbed it but Dash opened her wings and stared at the busy night city in awe.

"Wow!" said Rainbow Dash as she flapped her wings but quickly heard Dashie screaming as she kept falling. "Hold on, I'm coming!" yelled Dash as she dive towards her human version.

Dashie screamed until she felt a pair of hooves wrapping around her waist and pulling her into a hug. "It's okay, I got you." said Dash as she smiled down at her.

"What are you?" asked Dashie as she looked up at the pegasus and down at the other buildings. "Where are we? Why am I up here?" she asked again and again.

"Hold on tight!" said Dash as she flew faster towards a large building rooftop.

"AHH" yelped Dashie as she felt Dash's hooves leaving her waist and felt herself falling. "AAAAAHHHHH" screamed Dashie until she face planted into the floor of the roof top.

"Sorry" said Dash as she helped her up.

"I could have died!" screamed Dashie as she rubbed her sore head and noticed the shard in her hand was still intact.

"It's a good thing you didn't." smiled Dash as she walked away and looked over the edge of the roof.

"I still could have broken my bones or neck. Who knows how high we were." said Dashie as she turned to the pony.

"You wouldn't have died." replied Dash.

"And how are you so sure?" asked Dashie in anger.

"Because, I'm the fastest pony in Equestia! Saving ponies from falling to their death is pretty common thing." joke Dash as she turned to her weird looking double "But never mind that, who are you? That other creature called you "Dashie", right?" asked Dash.

"Um yeah. My name is Dashie. Dashiell Reinbold." proudly said Dashie as pound her chest but quickly let out "wait, another creature?"

"Dashie, huh. Sounds like my nickname that Pinkie gave me. My name is Rainbow Dash. But everyone calls me Rainbow or Dash." said Dash as she walked towards her human version.

"Really? Penny gave me that nickname after that party for my old childhood friend, who turned out to be a bully but we're cool now."

Dash froze as she heard that, she sat down and asked Dashie a quick question "Do you have a nickname called "Rainbow Crash?".

Dashie started to freak out a bit as she answered the question. "Reinbold Crashie..." softly replied Dashie, as she walked up to blue pony. "...my bullies gave me that nickname. How many friends you have?"

"Four best friends, AJ, Pinkie, Rarity and Fluttershy, You?" asked Dash as she looked at her human version in confusing.

"Same but my friends are AJ, Penny, Rachel and Faith...." answered Dashie until she realized her friends' names are almost sound the same but she needed to be sure on something. Both started to talk at same time. "Apple farm girl/pony, party and hyper girl/pony, clothes designer girl/unicorn, shy and animal loving girl/pegasus!?" they said at the same time.
Both were shocked to hear each other's friend's personality, and looked at each other.

"Wait a second." said Dashie.

"How is that possible?" asked Dash.

Dashie and Dash started talking about their friendship, where they met and why they became friends with those girls and both realized the others and themselves are from a different universe.

"I don't get it, how is this possible?" asked Dash.

"I think our universe's are from the multiverse. Which can be anything like a big tree with many branches, a net, a ball of yarn and many more." explained Dashie.

"Oh no, I believe the whole multiverse theory, like, I'm talking to another version of me right now. What I don't understand is "HOW" this happened." said Dash.

Dashie remembered the shard in her hand and showed it to Dash, who was confused. "I think this has something to do with it." said Dashie as she explained about how when she touched it, she remember seeing her pony self.

"Yeah. When I touched it, I saw you!" said Dash.

"What I don't understand is, is why us?" asked Dashie.

"Maybe the Rainbow Comet has magical properties. So, when it landed in the forest, it created some kind of portal or something. If only she was here...wait, who?" questioned Dash as she tried to remember that pony she was with "I was with somepony, why can't I remember?"

"What are you doing?" asked Dashie as she saw her double staring at nothing and walking in circles.

"I'm trying to remember who I was with. It was a female unicorn? I think?" questioned Dash to her self.

Dashie remembered back as well and she too realized something. She was with someone as well but just like Dash, she can't remember her name, not even her face. "You're right. I remember someone I was with but I'm drawing a blank on, I don't remember her name either. It's like someone wiped her from my memory." explained Dashie as she walked away in frustration and confusion.

"Hey. Let's focus on getting back to our own worlds first and figure out later why we can't remember them." said Dash

"That's not going to be easy, I don't think this shard is sending us back home, looks all dull now. Maybe, if we found whoever you were with, she might know." said Dashie.

"If she knows, how are we going to find her, since we're not in your world and not mine? Because I never seen this city before. Have you?" asked Dash.

Dashie looked around and noticed everything was so strange to her, so she shook her head.

"So, how are we going to find our way back home?" asked Dash.

"...I don't know." sadly said Dashie.

Both walked closer to the edge and looked at the neon city and saw everything was different. There were very tall buildings and flying cars and ships as it pass through the city buildings.

"I don't recognize anything here. This doesn't even look like a place that belongs in my world." said Dash.

Dashie nodded in agreement and said "I'm afraid we're not in Kansas anymore."

"What?" asked Dash.

"Uh nothing." said Dashie.

Suddenly, a passing airship flew by with a large screen on it, revealing a news report with a male voice on the speaker "Just in, our former hero and savior, Tara Brave, has been capture a few days ago and is going to pay for her crimes." Soon a picture of Tara Brave appeared on the screen, revealing a purple skinned woman, with purple hair, as she was wearing prisoner outfit. Dashie noticed the shard started glowing.

"Whoa." said Dash as she and Dashie saw the news.

"What the-?! Who is that?" asked Dashie.

"Dunno but there's something about her..." said Dash as she looked at the woman.

"Me too, it's like I know her." said Dashie.

As they continued watching, they heard the reporter talking again, "Brave is being taken to the prison section of the city, in a few hours, she will be killed for bringing the alien threat to our door step. May Aura have mercy on her soul...Remember, you can still buy the virtual tickets to the live execution and get a virtual goodie bag." happily explained the reporter.

"Killed?!" yelled Dash.

"Aliens?" said Dashie.

They watched as the report ended, leaving a still image of Tara on screen but both girls noticed the Rainbow Shard around her neck, then the ship continued its route.

"Hey, she has a Rainbow shard!" said Dash as she pointed it.

"Okay?" replied Dashie.

"Don't you remember how we touch the shard, we ended up here. Since touching our current shard did nothing, there might be a good chance if we touch her shard..." explained Dash.

"We'll get sent back." finished Dashie.

"Exactly." said Dash as she flapped her wings and looked down over the building edge.

"Wait, what are you doing?" asked Dashie, a bit confused.

"You're the one with the shard. Don't you remember it glowing when the shard appeared on screen? We can use it to find her. Like a tracker!" said Dash.

"And we will, I just don't like heights and jumping off the building is not a good idea. So, let's think of a better way to get down." cowardly explained Dashie.

"Just come here!" said Dash as she moved behind Dashie and wrapped her front legs around her.

"WAIT!" yelled Dashie as she was picked up and was screaming.

"Hold on!" said Dash.

"AHHHH!" yelled Dashie as they took off.

"This isn't so bad. Right?" smiled Dash as she looked down.

"I'm going to puke." groaned Dashie as she covered her mouth.

Dash couldn't believe Dashie was her from another universe. She's nothing like her, Dash wouldn't get scared by heights.

"I hate this. I can't look down." said Dashie as she covered her eyes.

"Well, tough it out." angry replied Dash.

Dashie opened her eyes for a bit but quickly covered them again and screamed.

"You know, I never expected the version of me to be such a scaredy cat. You aren't cool, you know?" laughed Dash.

Dashie uncovered her eyes and asked. "A what?"

"Scaredy cat. It's what the ponies in my world call creatures like you." answered Dash.

"Screw you! In my world, we call you a cun-" yelled Dashie before she quickly covered her mouth as she felt throwing up again.

Dash laughed at her response. They flew through the city and following the shard as it was glowing brighter to the north. They kept going until a flying police ship appeared behind them.

"This is the Aura City Police. Cease flight and land!...wait, is that a flying pony?" questioned one the officers.

Dash stopped flying and hovered in place, with a smirk on her face.

"You're not thinking of taking them on. Are you?" asked Dashie but watched as Dash did more of a smug smile "Oh god, you are!"

"Come and catch me!" yelled Dash as she quickly flew off and the ship quickly followed them.

"Rainbow! Don't be a show off!" screamed Dashie.

"I'm not, just having fun!" replied Dash.

"I hate you!" yelled Dashie.

The officers continued to shoot warning shots at them but Dash kept changing direction.

"You have got to be kidding me." thought Dashie.

Dash wasn't dodging the shots and started to mock them. "Hey, is that the best you got. A little filly could aim better than that." laughed Dash.

The police officers were getting annoyed and ordered there be no more warning shots.

"No more warning shots? Really?" thought Dash in a panic.

"RAINBOW! THEY'RE GOING TO SHOOT US! AGAIN! FOR REAL THIS TIME!" screamed Dashie.

Dash noticed the ship's gun was pointing right at them, with laser sights pointing at her head.

"Crap." whispered Dash.

"Told you so." replied Dashie.

"Shut it!" said Dash as she flew as fast as she could, barely dodging the shots.

"HOLD STILL FLYING PONY!" ordered the officer.

"Rainbow. Do something!" yelled Dashie.

"I can't, they're right behind me. I can't dodge and do sharp turns with you in my hooves. You sure you can't fly?!" replied Dash.

"DON'T JOKE ABOUT THAT!"

"Sorry." grin Dash

They kept flying for a few minutes and were near the end of the chase as Dash flew between a narrow building ways, as the ship was getting ready to take another shots at them.

"You have a plan or something?" asked Dashie.

"Working on it!" said Dash as she dodged another shot.

"Work faster! The ship is getting closer!" yelled Dashie.

"Oh please. I can easily lose this guys. These bozos aren't so tough." said Dash.

"Really? Because it doesn't seem like it, WITH ALL THE BULLETS!" questioned Dashie.

"Trust me." said Dash.

"Famous last words." whispered Dashie.

The ship continued to fire on them as they exited narrow ways and were about to take the final shot, until they saw a shadow above them and was suddenly knocked into by something.

"What the hell was that?" said one of the officers.

"What ever it was, it was huge. Like the size of a building!" yelled the pilot.

"We got the same thing here." replied a voice on the radio.

The police ship back away and soon noticed endless waves of alien looking ships. Dash stopped as well and watched as the city unleashed it's mecha army and the police force joining in as the aliens ships released it's own mecha army.

"Holy cow!" said Dash.

The battle soon started and the Aura city mecha were shooting and destroying the alien ships, which were returning the fire back.

"Let's go. We're running out of time here! Are we getting close!?" asked Dash.

"The shard is getting brighter! Keep heading to that large dome building ahead of us!" yelled Dashie.

As they flew closer, the city was in flames, with several buildings being destroyed, the ground was littered with rubble and mecha bodies.

"Look out!" yelled Dashie.

The duo dodged a falling mecha, which crashed into a nearby building, and continued flying.

"This isn't looking good! This city isn't going to last for much longer!" said Dash.

"Rainbow, look!" said Dashie.

"Oh, crap! Not another one." said Dash as she saw another wave of smaller ships appear above them.

"Rainbow! Head that way, hurry!" said Dashie.

"Alright! Hang on tight, girl!" yelled Dash.

Dash quickly turned around, dodging a falling ship and headed towards the giant dome.

"There! That's it!" pointed Dashie as the shard was glowing much, much harder now. "Just get us inside, the shard is glowing like crazy now!" said Dashie.

"On it."

"You think we're gonna make it?"

"With me flying, yeah."

"Yeah, but if you keep showing off, I'm going to be sick."

"That's your problem."

Dash dodged another ship, as the prison was only a few yards away.

"We're almost there!"

"Yeah, but so are those ships. I hope you got a plan to get inside, because I don't see a way inside from here."

"Trust me, I'm full of great plans."

"That's what I'm afraid of."

They were getting closer when suddenly, a large alien ship blast a huge laser at the dome, destroying half of it.

"Hold on." said Dash as she dove into destroy section of the dome and headed straight down.

"Where are we going?" asked Dashie.

"Just trust me."

"Yeah, like that's gonna happen."

As they flew deeper inside the prison, they came across a large hall, where they found the prisoners in their cells. Many started to scream for help as they saw the girls but before they could do anything for them, the cells door closed and moved underground.

"We better hurry, it looks like they're moving them to somewhere else. Where to now?" asked Dash.

Dashie held the shard up and moved it around them until it started to glow bright to the western part of the hall.

"This way. I'm sure she's somewhere down that hall." explained Dashie.

Dash nodded and flew to the west hall, where many more cells were seen, but unlike the other ones, they were empty. They looked inside each one as they flew until they came across a corner hallway and they could hear voices.

"Here, put me down."quietly whispered Dashie as she stood on the edge of the corner "Be quiet." Dash placed her down and joined in the ear dropping.

"Sunburst, you got to let me out! Everyone is dying out there!" cried a female voice.

"You're not going anywhere, Brave. You brought this upon us." replied Sunburst.

"You know that's not true, Sunburst. I had no idea the Magick was even capable of sending that beacon when I found it all those years ago!" replied the female voice.

"Liar!" replied Sunburst.

"I'm telling you the truth! If the beacon was active the whole time I had it, I would have known the aliens were coming!"

"It doesn't matter. You are the reason they're here, so you will be the reason we will win this fight. We're going to use Magick."

"How is that possible, Sunburst. You know Magick won't active for anyone other than me!"

"We'll find a way, Goodbye Brave."

"No! Please! I beg you, let me out damn it!"

"Not happening, Brave." coldly said Sunburst. "If only Aura was still around...things could had been different."

The girls heard the footsteps getting near them, so they stepped back into the shadows of the hallway and watched as a tall light orange skinned woman, with short messy yellow hair and wearing a black officer cloak, walked out and didn't noticed the girls as disappeared into another hallway and sounds of a elevator opening and closing could be heard.

"That...was Sunlight Shimmer, wasn't it?" thought Dash as she stepped out of the shadows.

"Sunburst. Whoever she was talking to, she was the one we're looking for. Tara Brave." replied Dashie as she walked out of the shadow as well and walked to the hallway that Tara was in.

They both looked at the cell door and saw the purple haired woman, who was banging on the glass as she saw Dashie.

"Hey. how we open the door?" asked Dash as ran to the glass cell door and touching it.

The woman jumped back in surprise, as they thought it was someone she knew but it wasn't, it was a talking flying horse but she realized it was trying to break open the door.

"Who are you two? Why is there a talking horse?" asked Tara in confusing and awe.

"I'm Rainbow Dash and this is Dashie. We're here to rescue you and to help us." explained Dash as she flew to eye level with Tara.

"You're also a flying horse." quickly replied Tara in a dead pan way.

"Yes, and you're Tara Brave, right?. So, what's the hold up." said Dash.

"The hold up. Well, if you haven't noticed, I'm behind this shock proof glass cell door. How you gonna get pass that?"

"Oh, no big deal. Watch and learn, babe." cocky replied Dash as she started to flap her wings very quickly, until the air around her started to blast around the hallway.

"What!? Are you insane?" yelled Tara as she backed away from the glass.

Dashie backed away from Dash and bumped into the control panel and noticed a key card on it. She took it and used it on the control panel screen. As she did it, the glass door opened and Dash blasted into the cell room and crashing into the cell wall, slowly sliding down it.

"Hey, are you okay? said Tara as she worried for the small horse.

"Never...better..." mumbled Dash.

"You alright, Rainbow?" said Dashie.

Dash shook her head and slowly got up, her eyes spinning. "I'm okay, I think. How did the door open?"

"Oh, you know. A little magic, a little luck." said Dashie, waving the key
card.

"Where did you get that?" asked Tara.

"It was laying on that control panel." replied Dashie.

"...Sunburst, did you leave it on purpose?" mumbled Tara as she stepped out of the cell.

"Whatever, hey Tara, do you have a rainbow looking shard on ya?" asked Dash as she flew over to her.

"Yes. It was a gift from Aura, as she found it while digging around in some robot ruins." replied Tara.

"Perfect, can you hand it over, please."

"Why? and if I did have it to hand it over, I can't, Sunburst has it. She took it from me..."

"Don't worry about it, we're getting it back." said Dashie, with a smile.

Tara lead the girls down the hall and listening to their story, she didn't want to believe the whole different universe thing but the talking horse did point out there were aliens, so anything can happen made her come around. They stopped at the storage area for the prisoner things and Tara dug through the room to find her clothes. She stepped out wearing clothes and holding a power drill.

"Okay, we're going to find Sunburst and get the shard back and get you two back home! Then saving my world!"

"Great, where's Sunburst?" asked Dash.

"My guess, she's going under ground, I heard rumors of colony ships were being made. We need to hurry though!" explained Tara as rubble fell near her "This building isn't going to last for much longer."

"I can get us there with my speed, but I don't have the strength to carry you two." said Dash.

"Don't worry about that! Good thing no one knows about this!" smiled Tara as she turned on her power drill, which quickly changed size and into a small purple mecha head with a drill on its forehead. "Spark here can carry me. Just follow me!" explained Tara as she got into the mecha head and drilled into the floor and disappearing into the darkness.

"Wow, a drill head. That's awesome." cheered Dash.

"She has a point, though, Rainbow. This building isn't going to stay together much longer. Let's follow her before the aliens destroy this place."

"Right!"

Dash picked up Dashie and flew down the hole and into the darkness. It was completely dark, until Tara mecha drill
started to glow, revealing a very large hanger bay and the colony ship

"Whoa! Look at the size of this place and that ship!" said Dash in awe as hovered in place.

"Yeah, this place is huge. I'm surprised Sunburst made this place over the years." replied Tara.

Dashie took out the shard and it started to glow as it pointed to the tunnel bridge that connected to the ship. The group took off to the tunnel bridge until two mecha flew in front of them. Their designs were a white looking rabbit and purple dragon.

"Tara, I need you to stand down!" ordered a female voice from the white rabbit as it pointed it's orange sword at the group.

"Angel! You got to let me pass!" yelled Tara.

"That voice." whispered both Dashes as the white mecha chest cockpit opened, to reveal a yellow skin and super shorted pink hair girl, wearing a white skin tight suit.

"Fluttershy?" said Dash as she stared at Angel.

"She doesn't look like Faith but her voice does match." thought Dashie.

"I'm sorry Tara but we can't! You ruined our world, we're not going to let you ruin our only escape. Please stand down." cried Angel as she closed the cockpit and ready her sword.

"Damn it! I don't want to fight you two! Blade, say something!" cried out Tara at the purple mecha but it just ready it's flame thrower weapon.

"What are we going to do?" asked Dashie

Spark eyes glowed white and drills came out from the left side of its body. "I'll take these two on. Head to the tunnel bridge!"

"Got it!" yelled Dash.

The duo took off and headed straight for the bridge while Tara and the mechas clashed.

"Blade, please don't make me fight you!" cried out Tara.

The mecha didn't responded and fired its flame thrower.

"Oh, crap! I really don't want to do this! Spark, let's show them what we can do."Spark eyes glowed white again and drills popped out everywhere and charged the mecha, while Tara grabbed and turned the handle and the mecha spun around and launched itself into the air, with the mecha following close behind her. "Angel, Blade! Stop! You're both my best friends and I don't want to fight you!" pleaded Tara.

"I'm sorry, Tara. But you're going to have to go through us!" cried out Angel as her mecha charged at her.

"I don't want too, please!" cried Tara as her drills clashed with Angel sword.

Dash and Dashie reached the outside of bridge wall but turning around to see a huge explosion coming from the battle that Tara was in. They turned back to the wall and watched as the metal walls started to raise up, revealing Sunburst and soldiers on the other side. Sunburst was taken aback by the two.

"Hold on tight!" yelled Dash as she flew back and rammed into the glass with great speed, shattering the window and landed inside the bridge, while Dashie was screaming in fear like always.

Sunburst still puzzled by the two, took out her gun and aimed it at them, soon her soldiers joined in with pointing their guns at them "Who are you two?" asked Sunburst as she stepped forward but as she did, reality around them started break down as cracks formed as a bright rainbow light beamed out of her pocket.

"It's the shard!" yelled Dashie as she covered her eyes as her own shard started to glow just as bright.

The cracks got bigger and soon, prism look effects appeared around them. The soldiers started to panic as they fell back from Sunburst, who took out the shard by its chain.

"What the hell is happening?" yelled Sunburst as the shard floated in the air.

"I don't know. This is what happened when our shards first came in contact." replied Dashie, her eyes still covered.

The shards flew to each other and the moment they did, a rainbow pillar shot into the air and memories flashes in both girls minds, as they could see a field of grass and in the distant was a figure. Another flash, they could see a blue hoof reaching out. Both girls did the same without realizing it and started to cry. Both could hear a voice calling out to them.

"Hurry up!" said the female voice.

"Who are you!?" cried both girls.

"You forgot her name?" said another voice, a voice that they knew too well, their own.

Soon both girls could feel like their very being were being fused as one, they could hear their own voice all around them, telling them to remember her name.

"What's going on!?" screamed Dash as tears fell down her face.

"I don't know, but I'm scared." cried Dashie.

"Her name...remember...her name is...." said the voice as both girls could feel the pain disappearing and the female voice fading away out of their minds. "Please, remember her!" cried the voice one last time as both girls woke up from the trance and soon found themselves in a large open space locker room. The shards lay on the floor between then as it slowly absorb each other, making the shard much bigger but wasn't glowing anymore as it went dim.

"Where the hell are we now?" asked Dash as she stood up.

"I don't know, but did you have that weird dream? Vision? Whatever that was?
"
"Yeah, we were told to remember her name. What was it? Does this have to do with the girl I can't remember? Ugh, this is really bothering me now."

"Rainbow...?" whispered Dashie as she saw for a spit second that Dash was see through before being normal again.

Dash turned to her and was surprised to see Dashie wearing a different jacket.

"Uh...Dashie?"

"Yeah, Rainbow?"

"Do you...notice anything different?"

"No, why?"

"Cause you're wearing different jacket now."

"Wait, what?" asked Dashie as she looked down and gasped in surprise. "What the hell? Where did this jacket come from?"
Dashie was wearing a puffy hoodie jacket, the arms and hood are orange. The back had a rainbow going across it. Before they could question why the change happened, the ground underneath them rose up, revealing it as a platform as the ceiling opened up above them.

"Whoa, what's going on now?"

The platform started to lift into the air and moved upward. Soon both could hear cheering from above. The platform stop and a spotlight was shined upon them. The girls noticed they were in an opened arena

"This is so weird. Hey, look."

"Huh, where are we now? Oh, wow! Look at this place. It's packed with people!" said Dashie.

The arena was packed, thousands were cheering and the girls noticed there were many races and creatures they never seen before, all around them.

"It's a stadium." explained Dash as she posed to the cheering fans.

"Stadium? I don't think we're back home, why didn't the shards took us back home?" asked Dashie as she picked up the shard and looking over it.

Before Dash could answer, a female voiced spoke through the arena speakers "Attention, ladies and gentlemen. Our next match will begin! She fought her way here to my domain, to battle my sweet daughter! Flashing Rainboom!"

A screen lit up above the girls and soon could see themselves on it but was quickly cut off as a dark blue anthro alicorn appeared on the screen and closer to the screen.

"Princess Luna!?" yelled Dash as she watched this world Luna move her away from the screen and sitting back in her throne, revealing her black dress.

"Whoa, wait! It seems Flash is naked and on all fours? She also got herself a team mate!? A ugly one too." laughed Luna "Doesn't matter though, she can't win against PIKE THE MOON DRAGON!"

The stadium ceiling opened up, revealing earth in the far distance and slowly entering the stadium was a large anthro female dragon, as she wore a battle gear armor and her skin color was purple and it's fins were green. The dragon was massive, its wings were as wide as the stadium walls. It had long claws and sharp teeth.

"What the heck is that!?" cried Dashie as her body shook.

"A dragon, a very big dragon." answered Dash as she watched the dragon land in the stadium, the impact made the platform shake a little.

"This is Dragoon city pride and joy, ladies and gentlemen! She's the strongest dragon around!" boasted Luna as she stood up, her wings stretched out and the thrones lights shined upon her, showing off her great figure. "LET'S THIS LUNAR BATTLE BEGIN! FIGHT!" The crowd cheered as the dragon roared loudly, its wings spread out. Dashie fell back in fear while Dash stood still and ready to fight.

The screen turned dark and Luna sat back down in her seat and laugh "I'm glad you didn't chicken out on me, Flash. I really want to see what you can do against Pike, and maybe, just maybe you can face off my sweet daughter!" smiled Luna as she turned to the throne room window, that was over looking the arena and standing there was another anthro alicorn "Right? Midnight Dusk?"

"Right." nodded Midnight Dusk, she has a strong muscular build and her skin color is purple. Her dark purple hair was done up as a pony tail, going down past her back, stopping near her tail. She's wearing a dark blue karate outfit. Her purple eyes were lifeless as she stared down at the up coming battle. She placed her hand on the window, which had a friendship bracelet around the wrist and tied to it was another rainbow shard as it glowing dimly.

Chapter 2

"Man, what's up with Flashing and that weird looking creature she has with her?" asked a blue slime monster as it was eating a hotdog with red chili on it as it was watching the current match on the screen in the vendor section of the stadium.

"No idea but that thing is really gross looking" replied the pink slime as it continued to eat its steaming red apple slices.

"Hey, I'm gonna get some more soda do you want anything else?" asked a small yellow slime monster as it looked at its friends.

"Get me a another hotdog and some red chili." replied the pink slime with its eyes still glued to the screen.

"I'm good!" replied the blue slime.

"Okay then" replied the small yellow slime monster as it got up and headed down to the vendor.

The yellow slime walked backed to the vendor that they ordered from and it was old looking trailer home but made into a stall. It seemed the cook was sleeping inside as the slime could hear snoring from inside. The small slime knocked on the shut shutters until a female western voice was heard from inside.

"Alright, alright I'm coming"

The shutter raised up to reveal a orange anthro pony

The pony's eyes were half open, as she was awaken by the knocking. She was a earth bound pony that looked to be in her twenties.

"Oh, sorry miss I didn't mean to wake you" apologized the small yellow slime.

"Ah, don't worry about it darling, I need to get up anyways" replied the orange pony. "What can I get ya today?"

"Um, one more hotdog and some red chili. Oh and a big cup of soda." replied the slime.

"Coming right up, ya hear!"

The orange pony then started to get the order ready for the slime, then turned on the radio to listen to the current match. She stopped cooking when she heard how the match was going with Flashing. She picked up the radio and kept listening, until the slime chimed in about the weird match.

"It's weird right? Fighting naked like that and having a weird looking creature fighting by her side."

The pony looked at the slime and back to the radio before shutting it off. "Sorry darling but I'm closed!" She said as she shut off the stove and shut the shutters and exiting out of the trailer and heading to the arena as fast as she could.

It didn't took her long as she arrived and could see the match playing out. She could see Flashing as she was fighting Pike the moon dragon but quickly realized was she indeed naked. This enraged her as she rushed into the front seats. She was so mad that she didn't pay attention to the match and only think why she was like that but stopped as she could see a weird blue hair creature as it was running for it's life as Pike blew green fire at it.

"Wait, what the heck is that!" exclaimed the pony as she saw Flashing's strange companion.

"Who cares, It made the match more enjoyable to watch!" cheered a random cat man from the stands.

"Enjoyable?! Are ya people crazy, why are ya people even letting this go on?! It clearly can't fight back!" shouted the pony as she pointed to the match.

"Get lost, you dirty mud earthing " replied the cat man in anger as he faced the pony.

"Dirty mud earthing?" muttered the orange pony.

"Yeah, I said you're a dirty mud earthing, now scram before I get security!"

The orange pony gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. "Okay then, I'll get out but just so you know that match ain't legal." replied the pony as she turned her back to the cat man.

"Yeah, right, what could you possibly do?" laughed the cat man.

"This!" the pony said as she turned back around and punched the cat man square in the face.

"AHHH!" cried the cat man as he flew out of his seat and tumbled down the stands.

The cat man stopped tumbling as he reached the end and was surrounded by other creatures. One of them looked at the cat man with concern and asked him if he was okay.

"SECURITY!" yelled a random voice from the stands.

A bunch of blue rhinos, armed with stun batons quickly appeared and quickly made their way to the pony.

"Oh great" the orange pony said with annoyance as the rhinos approached.

"Hey, we need you to come with us" said a rhino as he grabbed the pony's hand.

"Oh no you don't" said the orange pony as she slapped the rhino's hand away.

"Miss, I must ask you to cooperate" said another rhino as he attempted to grab her hand.

"Like heck, I will!" exclaimed the orange pony.

She quickly got into a old fashion boxer like stance and started to block and counter each rhino that came at her.

"Gah, what the heck is she?!" exclaimed one rhino as he was punched in the face.

"That's what I'd like to know!" exclaimed another rhino with two black eyes.

As the orange pony was fighting the rhinos, Dash fight against Pike was drawing to a close. Dashie was dodging Pike's fire breath but just by a hair.

"Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!" cried Dashie as she was putting out a small bit of fire from her shoulder.

"Haha, you can't run forever!" exclaimed Pike with a crazed grin.

"Leave her alone!" yelled Dash as she flew in and kicked Pike in the face and making her step back in pain.

"GAH!" yelled Pike. "How dare you!?"

"Dashie, are you alright!?" exclaimed Dash as she flew down to Dashie's level.

"DO I LOOK OKAY!" cried Dashie as her jeans, shirt and shoes were slightly burned.

"Oh, um well at least your hair is okay" smiled Dash as she patted her hair.

"Gee, thanks..." replied Dashie with a bit of sarcasm.

"Your welcome!" laughed Dash.

"You two, are finished!" exclaimed Pike.

"Oh crap" yelled Dash as she turned back around and noticed Pike charging up a large ball of energy above her head.

"Now, DIE!!" exclaimed Pike.

The ball of energy had grown large enough for Pike to hold and was just about to throw it at the duo. But as she was about to do it, two rhino bodies hit her in the head, making her turn to check to see what hit her.
"Huh?" said Pike as she noticed the badly beaten guards before seeing something jumping into the air and being smack in the nose with a powerful punch, making her fall over and dropping the energy ball and creating a giant explosion as it landed and launching smoke everywhere.

"What's going?" asked Dash as she covered her eyes but quickly stepped back as she could see someone landing in front of her.

"Flash, what are you...huh?" said the pony as she quickly noticed something about Dash body, like the hooves and no hands or toes "Wait, you're not Flash!? What's going on?"

"Whoa, hold up there lady" said Dash as she held her hands up and still couldn't see who was in front of her.

"What's going on?" exclaimed Dashie as she stepped forward while blocking the smoke with her hoodie.

"That's my line!" said the orange pony as she glared the weird creature in front of her.

The smoke finally cleared, making Dash called out the woman in front as AJ but before the woman can ask what she means, the group could see a group of guards heading to ring with magic based guns.

"Hey, we got a situation in the ring, a intruder has shown up and is seems to be with Flash and the ugly creature!" cried one guard.

"Crap" whispered Dashie.

"Okay, I think you have some explaining to do!" said the orange pony.

"Um, maybe we should do it after we escape!?" replied Dash.

"Right, we'll talk about this later" replied the orange pony as she slammed her fist together and then smacking the ground, creating a powerful shock wave, sending the guards flying. "Follow me!" ordered the orange pony as she dashed off to the tunnel in great speed. Dash quickly picked up Dashie and bolted to catch up.

"Wait for us!" called out Dashie to the orange pony.

"Hurry, up two!" replied the woman as she entered the tunnel.

"Wow, she's fast!" exclaimed Dash.

The guards quickly recovered and noticed the duo trying to enter the tunnel. "There, shoot them!" cried a guard.

"On it!" cried another guard.

The guards started firing their magical guns at the duo, as Dash tried to dodge each shot. But before any of the magical energy bullets hit the duo, a white barrier appeared and blocked all of the shots, allowing them to escape the ring and into the tunnel.

"Huh?" exclaimed Dash and Dashie in confusion as they both look back and could see the barrier still blocking the guards shots. Unknown to them, a tall female figure hiding behind a pillar, lowered her hand, making the barrier vanish.

In the tunnel, Dash finally caught up with this world AJ and was still running down the hallway.

"We need to head to the vendor area." explained the pony as she pointed to the higher level of the huge stadium "We'll escape there."

"Okay then!" replied Dash as she followed the pony to the higher levels.

The trio kept running until they reach the vendor area, where the orange pony stopped in front of her trailer home.

"Huh, wait why are we stopping here?" asked Dashie.

"You'll see" replied the orange pony as she pulled out a key and opened the shutter and enter inside and the others followed.

Inside, the girls could see it was a trailer that looked to be used for catering. The interior was a kitchen area with a small dinning table, which had ton of boxes filled with apples and a door to a tiny bathroom.

"Huh, neat place,,,you got here" said Dashie as she looked around the dirty room.

"Thanks, I've been using this place to travel across the Earth and the moon." explained the orange pony.

"Huh?" replied the both girls as they heard the "moon" bit.

"Well, we don't have time for a full explanation" replied the pony as she headed to the driver's seat but gun fire could be heard hitting the trailer walls.

"Hey, are we gonna get out of here or what?" asked Dash as she and Dashie duke from the gun fire as the shutter was still opened.

"Oh, sorry" replied the orange pony as she pressed a button on the console, closing the shutters and starting the engine.
The orange pony pulled a lever and the trailer wings came out and it started to hover.

"Huh, is this a plane?" asked Dashie.

"Something like that, I had some modifications" replied the orange pony as she grabbed onto the steering wheel and pushed another button, activating the rocket boosters.

"Wait, you're saying we're gonna fly out of here?!" exclaimed Dashie.

"Yes and if we don't leave soon, they'll blow us up" replied the orange pony.

"Well, then what are we waiting for, let's go!" exclaimed Dash.

"You got it!"

The orange pony then quickly stepped on the gas pedal, making the trailer shoot out of the stadium and into the air. The trailer flew off, leaving the stadium and flying across the city below. Dashie got into the passenger seat and could see the view better. The city was similar to New York but the buildings were a bit different and had some sort of futuristic feeling.

"Wow, this city is huge" commented Dashie.

"Yeah, it sure is" replied the orange pony as pulled up the wheel and heading to space. As the ship got closer, a barrier appeared and they pass through it with no problem. She press a button and the ship became see through as the engine shut off and slowly floated in space.

"So, now what?" asked Dash as she sat down at the table and dug through the box of apples.

"Well, now it's time for you two to explain what's going on?"

"It's going to be a long story." said Dash as she bit down on a red apple.

"They escaped mother." said Midnight as she turned to her mother, as this version of Luna got up from her throne and walked over to her.

"Don't worry honey, Flash will be back and you can kill her with your own hands. Now go find the head of the guards and kill him for allowing them to escape."

"I will, mother." replied Midnight.

"Good, now go."

"Yes, mother"

Midnight bowed to her mother, then got up and teleported out of the throne room. After Midnight left, a white anthro unicorn with a gray mane appeared and wearing white armor, kneeling behind Luna.

"Mother, let me go after them!" pleaded the unicorn.

"No, like I said, Flash will be back, she's after Midnight after all. Besides, I have another task for you"

"And that is?"

"You saw it too, didn't you? That magical barrier. She's here."

"Aunty returned?"

"Yes, she has. You are to find her and capture her alive."

"Understood mother."

The unicorn put on his helmet and then stood up and teleported out of the room. After the unicorn was gone, Luna walked back to her throne and took a sip from her wine glass.

"Hehe, can't wait to see you again, dear sister." laughed Luna as she walked back to the viewing window and she could see Midnight destroying the head guard in the middle of the ring as the crowd cheered and the next match was starting like nothing happened.

"Hold up, are ya telling me, there are different universes and you two came from one because you touched a piece of the Rainbow Comet, which exist in my universe as well, and you two are just trying to get back home by looking for these shards? Oh by the way, you two are each other alt version, right?" said the pony as she got up and try to understand everything

"Yep"

"Correct"

"Wow, this is a lot to take in"

"So, what are you gonna do?" asked Dashie.

"Hmm" the orange pony placed her hand under her chin as she thought about her options. "Well first off, the name is Alex, Flash's friend. Second off, I need to ask you, do you know what happened to her? If she wasn't in the locker room, where was she?"

Both girls shrug, making Alex sigh and walking back and fourth across the small floor. "Okay, this is bad. Really bad. Did Queen Lunar get her? Without her, who's going to save Midnight?"

"Look, we told you our story, can you ask us what's yours?" asked Dashie as she put her hand on Alex shoulder.

"Okay" Alex sat back down at the table. "Flashing Rainboom, or just Flash for short, comes from the same magical fighting school like me, she was the first student to be trained by my our master. Midnight was the second student to be trained and the daughter of our master, those two became rivals and close friends. The others and I became students there and we not only became friends but family too, since we all didn't have any as our master found us..."

"What do you mean?" asked Dash.

"Some of the other girls, like Flash and myself, were either abandoned by our parents or we were kidnapped and raised to become warriors and the others were just orphans."

"Oh, that's really sad." replied Dashie.

"Anyway, our master is very kind woman. She would help anyone in need and would make sure her students would never forget what she taught us and to keep moving forward."

"But what happened to her?"

"One day, Queen Lunar arrived at the school and revealed to us, that Midnight was her daughter. Flash sent the Queen packing but she was worried as Midnight was pissed at her mother, lying about her birth. A few days later, the Queen arrived once more, demanding Midnight come with her. Our master refused and with Flash, they defeated her again but something happened. When their battle was over, a strange light engulfed the school and the next thing we know, Midnight burned down the school and beat our asses. Flash tried to stop her but was beaten. She left us and headed to the Moon empire. Master ordered us to stay and rebuild the school as she'll get Midnight back, we had no choice but to follow those orders but Flash didn't as she left the school and went to train. A few months later, we didn't hear back from our master, so we came up with the plan to save them, meanwhile we learned that Flash infiltrate the empire on her own and joined the tournament to face Midnight in battle and get her back. We've been planning for weeks, waiting for Flash to face Midnight in battle, so we could step in and get them out of there but the plan went south as you can see."

"Wow, that is a lot" said Dashie.

"Hold up, "we"? I don't see anyone else here." spoke Dash as she looked under the table.

Before Alex could answer, there was a beeping sound, she got up and press a few buttons before finally turning to the girls "Speak of the devil, they're here."

"They? Who are they?" asked Dashie.

"Your questions are about to be answered." smiled Alex as two other trailers ships appeared and hovered above and attached to the roof of the ship. The three trailers connected together and a door opened above them and a female yellow rabbit appeared and walk over to the trio.

"Alex, how are..." spoke the bunny woman but she stopped and noticed the two strangers "Who are these two and why is one of the the cutest thing ever!?"

Both Dashes realized it's this world Fluttershy/Faith as they looked at her and soon rest of the girls that entered the trailer, as they're all different animals or a creature.

"This rabbit is Fae." replied Alex as the Fae walked over to them and gave a small wave. "She fights with a sword."

"Hey there"

"Next up is Poppy. She fights with a mix of boxing and mixed martial arts." continued Alex as the pink bird walked up to the group and stood next to Alex.

"What's up? Want a cupcake?" asked Poppy as she somehow created a cupcake out of thin air, making both Dashes sigh, as they confirmed this is this universe Pinkie/Penny.

"Now the last member of our crew is our heavy hitter slime fighter, Rebecca." finished Alex as Rebecca slide across the floor to stand next to the others and giving a smile.

"Um, hi there" waved Rebecca.

Dash and Dashie stood up and waved back as they gave their names as well.

"Umm, Alex, this isn't Flash, right? Who's this weird looking creature next to her?" asked Rebecca as she watched Poppy touching Dash's wings and Fae petting Dashie head.

"Well, sit down ya'll, you won't believe this but it makes sense when you look at Dash here, who clearly looks like Flash." explained Alex as she push Rebecca to a chair and to quickly told everyone what's up. After the long details from the two girls, rest of Alex friends were caught up.

"So, your telling me, I'm a unicorn in your universe and in another, I'm your kind?" asked Rebecca.

"Yeah, pretty much" replied Dashie.

"Wow, that's amazing!" replied Fae as she was still petting Dashie head "Rebecca, you will look super cute as this cutie!"

"Cute?" thought Dashie

"Oh no no no, I'm happy as a pretty slime." replied Rebecca as she posed in the mirror of the trailer.

"Okay, so what's the plan now, Alex?" asked Poppy as she made a nest in a empty box.

"Well, I guess, we're heading back to the moon, we need to find Flash and the master as well, so we can save Midnight" answered Alex but she then turned to Dash and Dashie "Plus help these two find that Rainbow Comet shard, so they can get home. Our Comet must of had dropped some on the moon or we can wait until a few months from now, as it's returning this year."

"Okie dokie, so let's get going" replied Poppy as she flew around the room.

"Yeah, let's go." agreed the rest.

Back on the moon, Dark Shield was walking down a dark subway tunnel that was closed for repairs, which was going to the stadium sub station. He felt a magical power level few hours before and believed it was his aunt.

"That was her power, wasn't it?" spoke Dark Shield as he continued walking. "Aunty's power is like a light in the darkness. It's so beautiful."

As Dark Shield was talking, he heard a sound. He turn his head and saw something on the tracks, it looked like a person but the light from his horn couldn't show it well.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Dark, don't tell me you don't recognize me?" asked the mysterious person as her horn created a bright light, revealing herself.

"Aunt Sunny." replied Dark Shield.

"My nephew, have you missed me?" asked Sunny as she took off her sunglasses.

"Yes, very much. It's been years since I seen you. Please, tell me, why did you leave? Why didn't you tell me the truth about my sister?"

"You know why. I couldn't tell you the truth. It would have killed your sister. If you had known, your mother would have been furious and she would have killed you as well."

"Mother wouldn't do that, she love us."

"You really believe that?"

"Of course, I do. She's my mother."

"You know I'm right, don't deny it."

"No, no, I won't listen to anymore of your lies."

"I'm not lying, it's the truth." said Sunny as she put her sunglasses back on.

"No!" cried Dark Shield as he shot a magic blast at his aunt. She easily dodged the attack and teleported in front of him.

"I'm sorry, Shield" whispered Sunny as she punched him in the middle of his armored chest, making him fly back into the wall, cracking the bricks. Shield recovered and summoned his dark flaming sword and shield and ready himself as Sunny charged again.

Shield blocked the first fist but he didn't see the kick coming as Sunny hit him in the side. Shield grabbed her leg and threw her across the tracks, landing on the other side.

"Heh, I've gotten stronger, haven't I?" laughed Shield.

"Yes, you have, nephew" replied Sunny.

Sunny got back on her feet and ran towards him. Shield prepared to block her attack, but didn't notice the second kick to his face as she spun around and knocked him down. Shield got back up and shook his head.

"Heh, now that's a powerful kick. Where did you learn it?"

"That's a secret."

"Well, I guess I have to find out myself."

Shield ran toward her and the two clashed as Sunny stopped Shield's sword with her bare hands.

"Huh, impressive."

"Not bad yourself, nephew."

"You won't win this time, Aunt Sunny. I will make you pay for abandoning our family and taking my sister."

"I didn't abandon my family, if I did, your sister wouldn't be here!"

"Shut up!" yelled Shield.

He kicked her in the stomach, knocking her away. She landed on her feet and the two locked eyes as Shield ran towards her with his sword. Sunny waited until he was close and used her magic and pulled a metal rod from the tracks, catching Shield's sword and blasting it out of his hands with great force.

"What?!"

Sunny used her magic and hit him on the head with the rod, knocking him down on his knees and removing his helmet with the second swing, that's when Sunny could see her dear nephew scarred face.

"My poor nephew" thought Sunny as she dropped the rod.

"It's...it's over."

"You're right, it is." replied Sunny as she walked up and grabbed him by the neck.

"Ack, aunty, please don't"

"Sorry Shield, it's for the best"

Sunny punched Dark Shield, sending him crashing into the other wall and he was now on the ground, trying to get up but Sunny's magic was making it hard to do so.

"Aunty, stop."
"I'm sorry Shield." Sunny replied as she walked over and picked him up again.

"Auntie, stop or "she" won't be happy..." smirk Shield as he looked over his aunty shoulder.

Sunny turned around and a giant purple magic beam hit her, knocking her into the wall. She got back up and saw the black shadow, running towards her and the next thing she knew, was being slammed into the ceiling and falling back to the ground. She was able to land on her feet and turned around and saw "her".

"Midnight." whispered Sunny as she saw the dark magical energy surround her former daughter.

"MOTHER! No..., my aunt, you have return!" yelled Midnight.

"Midnight, please, I can explain."

"Silence!"

"Midnight, please."

"Enough!"

Midnight shot another magic blast at her, hitting her square in the chest, sending her through tons of walls and the blast was so strong, the wall crumbled and Sunny was now outside the tunnel and landing on the streets below. She got up and saw her daughter coming towards her, her aura was stronger than she last remember.

"I will never forgive you." growled Midnight as she summoned a large sword and jumped into the air.

"No, Midnight, don't!" yelled Sunny.

"This is for my real mother."

"NO!"

Midnight's magic was so strong, Sunny was unable to use her magic to fully block the sword and she was now pinned to the ground, with the blade at her throat.

"Please, Midnight, don't."

"It's too late, Aunty." smirked Midnight as she was about to cut her throat, until something stopped her.

"STOP!" ordered Shield as he landed near them "Mother wants her alive."

Midnight said nothing as she removed the sword and slammed her fist into Sunny face, it was so hard, it created a earth quake. As the dust settled, Sunny sunglasses were split in two and fell off her face, as she was knocked out.

"You really hate her, don't you, sister?" asked Shield.

"Yes." replied Midnight.

"Come, we better get her back."

"Right." said Midnight as she teleported Sunny body away with magic. Her bother teleported away as well, leaving her all alone. She looked up at the earth in the night sky as she felt tears falling down her face. She didn't know why. She couldn't stop the tears no matter what. She remember when she was young, Flash would try to cheer her up, which made her smile. Her lifeless eyes was filled with life again as she slowly thought about Flash but that's when it happened, her horn suddenly had black runes on it and made her scream and kneel in pain it as released strong black magical energy.

"Flash...sav-" Midnight didn't finish as her eyes went lifeless again. She stood up and teleported away.

end of ch2

part2

Even though she always seen the moon from earth, Dashie never thought she be in space itself and looking at it so close, heck, seeing it look like another earth, well, she was amazed, the same was for her companion as they looked around and even seeing space stations around the moon and earth itself. The trailer was hovering in the distance of the moon as Alex and the other girls were watching the duo, while eating hotdogs as the ship was on auto pilot.

"Amazing, isn't it?" asked Poppy.

"Yes." answered Dashie.

"We were all in awe of it, the first time we were in space, like you guys." added Fae.

"How did you guys manage to get here?" asked Dash.

"Well, after Alex told us of the plan to save our master, we came up with some cash and got these old space trailer homes. Of course, Alex got out here first, since hers wasn't broken. Ours did broke down a few times." answered Poppy.

"Yeah, we had some good and bad moments getting up here" added Fae.

"You did, didn't you? Hah!" laughed Rebecca as she pointed out she was second one to into space.

"Hey, hey, don't forget, you lost control of your ship for the first, causing the engine to break, making it spin and hit ours and it caused us to repair the hulls!" pointed out Fae.

"That did happen." laughed Rebecca as she remembered the day.

Dashie looked around and finally asked them something "Don't mind asking but why is the ship looking like this? Like a trailer home?"

"It was cheaper than the space RV's. Plus, the only way we could afford to get into space" replied Alex.

"And it was a nice deal. It came with a mystery box!" added Poppy as she took out a box from her hair.

"A mystery box?" asked Dashie.

"Yep, a mystery box, we didn't know what was in it and the sale guy gave it to us for a extra 500 bits." replied Poppy.

"We didn't want it but Poppy bought it on the spot" sighed Alex as she face palm at the memory.

"So, what was in it?" asked Dash.

"A expired coupon for buy 2 and get 1 shampoo." sighed Fae as they all laughed.

"Hey, I got a question myself." said Dash as she looked out the window and the moon "Why is there life on the moon? You said Lunar rules over it?"

"Yes, you see, a long time ago, there were two alicorn tribes on earth, the Sun tribe and the Moon tribe. They were at war with each other, until two warriors from each side fell in love and started a family. When both tribes found out, the moon tribe welcome the family and wanted peace but the Sun tribe didn't. Sun tribe created a magical weapon, that would banish the moon tribe to the moon. As it went down, the family from before, saved the Moon tribe as they were teleported to the moon. That barrier you saw from before, came from them. The elements of Peace, one of six magical stones that created air on the moon and allowing farm life as well. The moon and Sun tribe vanished and only leaving behind Lunar and her family." explained Alex.

"Elements of Peace? Like the Elements of Harmony?" thought Dash as she turned to the moon and seeing the barrier slowly appearing to them.

"Wow, I wonder where the tribes went?" said Dashie.

"Nobody knows." answered Fae as she petted Dashie for being cute.

"Anyway, enough of history, we're going through the barrier, once inside we'll-" before Alex could finish, loud warning sounds could be heard from the console, Alex quickly checked on them and quickly turned to everyone "Hold on to something!"

Everyone grabbed on to something as the trailer back end blew up and the force was strong, it send the trailer spinning into the moon barrier.

"What's going on darling!?" screamed Rebecca as her body lost it's shape and just splashed around the spinning room

"Something fast was coming right at us! I think it was a missile!?" cried Poppy.

"A missile?!" yelled Dash.

"Yes! Someone is trying to shoot us down! Hold on!" yelled Alex.

The trailer started to spin faster as it was about to hit the barrier. Everyone braced themselves as the trailer was now in the barrier and it slowly passed through it. Once through, it revealed a city on the moon surface once more and the trailer was heading straight to the city.

"What do we do now, darling?!" screamed Rebecca.

"We gotta get out!" yelled Fae as she opened the door.

"Wait! There's a-!" cried Poppy as her Poppy sense was going off and suddenly, the trailer stopped spinning. Everyone looked at the doorway and floating there was Midnight. She rose her hand and was about to unleash a powerful magic attack but was stopped by Fae as she took out her sword and stabbed her in hand.

"Ahhhhhh! You little-!" yelled Midnight as she was unable to use her magic.

"Alex, we have a situation!" cried Fae before she was grabbed and tossed out of the trailer and falling to the city below.

"FAE!" screamed Poppy as she jumped out of the trailer and tried to save Fae but the two disappeared from sight.

"Going to kill you all!" demanded Midnight as she removed the sword, healing her wounds and turning towards the rest.
Dashie felt something was wrong, as her vision started to be filled with static and prism colors. She fell to her knees and could see something glowing around Midnight wrist and she could feel something warm in her pocket. Both glows started to get strong, that the area around them started to fall apart as cracks appeared. Dashie turned to Dash, who was suffering too.

"What is this?" asked Midnight as she tried to dispel the magic in front of her but wasn't working. "It's no use, whatever this magic, I can't dispel it." growled Midnight as she started to spin the trailer and lung it away miles away from her. Whatever was happening to her, finally stopped as the prism colors vanished. She looked back at the area she tossed the trailer and could see smoke coming from a building.

The trailer landed through apartment building and was now deep within it. There was fire everywhere and people screaming as they ran out of the burning area. The destroyed trailer was engulf in flames but a shadow of a large ball came bouncing out and once landed out of the fire, it tossed out Alex and both Dashes.

"Ow." moaned Alex.

She slowly got up and saw Dash and Dashie were unconscious and she could see who saved them, as Rebecca trying to turn back to her body form but couldn't, as the heat was to much. She was melting too quick.

"Rebecca, hang on." said Alex as she ran over to her friend but stopped as she could sense "her" coming this way.

"Darling, you have to save the others. I'll hold her off, don't worry." plead Rebecca as she pushed her friend away "Find Flash! Find master!" she screamed as she blasted her slime out of the burning hole of the building and blocking a magical energy ball that was coming at them "GO!"

"Right, don't die on me Rebecca!" yelled Alex as she carried the other Dashes and started to run.

"Not a chance, darling." smirked Rebecca as she saw another magical energy ball coming right at her and exploding on contact, causing her slime to splatter and vanish as the upper building was gone from the attack.

Midnight slowly landed and looked around but quickly dodged a sharp object.

"You think you're clever, don't you, you worthless being."

"Hahaha, I've been called worst." replied Rebecca as she started to turn into a huge demonic looking version of her normal body and readying her giant fist as she stared down her old friend.

"Let's end this." smirked Midnight as the two ran at each other and a massive battle begun.

As the two powerful beings battled it out, Alex was running through the building stairs, carrying the girls. She looked back and could see the fight above her. She kept running until she found a door and opened it, only to see a small hallway and a single door at the end. She ran towards the door and kicked it open and found herself in the back of a clothing store.
"Is this building connected to a mall?" she thought as she could hear sirens going off and knew the building and the area was about to go into lockdown. "We have to move!"

Alex ran to the store door and used her fist to force it open, as she could feel the heat outside. Once she stepped through, the fire alarm went off and the sprinklers came on, soaking everything in the area.

"Oh, great." groaned Alex as she was soaked. "What's going on now?"

Standing in front of her, was Dark Shield, as his sword was beaming with intense heat as he faced down Alex.

"I see, of course you be with her."

"Yes, and I will not allow you to leave." smirked Shield.

"We'll see about that." said Alex as she held Dashie in one arm and Dash in her other hand and threw them into a shopping chart and kicked it away.

"Wait, what are you doing?" yelled Shield as he turned to the shopping cart and tried to give chase but was stopped as Alex teleported behind him.

Alex smiled as she took a deep breath "Here we go." Her whole body started to glow red, as she could feel her strength increasing. She grabbed Shield and slammed him to the ground, the attack was so strong, the floor underneath him broke apart and they both fell through it.

"What the hell?!" yelled Shield as he saw Alex falling near him.

"I was going to save this power for her but now is a good time."

"I'm not done yet." growled Shield as he ready his sword and flew at her.

Alex didn't move as her whole body was glowing brighter. Shield was inches away from her when he stopped.

"What the-?!" he screamed.

Alex was now hovering in the air, with her whole body engulfed in a giant ball of red and yellow flames. The fire was so intense, Shield couldn't even get close to her and he couldn't even see her.

"What is this?! What are you?!" yelled Shield.

"I'm just someone who has a power and will use it." said Alex as the fire around her exploded and sent a powerful energy wave throughout the area, breaking all windows, the surrounding area and sending Shield flying back.

"GAAAAAHHHH!" screamed Shield as the wave was so strong, he couldn't get away. He was slammed into walls, through it and was finally tossed outside and into the streets.

Alex slowly appeared, with the flames burning bright as she stormed at him with a burning punch, knocking him far and landing him on a building, which crumbled under his weight.

"Gah, dammit!" groaned Shield as he got up "I see now, that's why my aunt took you in? You carry some of the Sun tribe blood, don't you."

Alex said nothing as she walked towards him and readying another punch.

"This won't stop me." growled Shield as he removed his upper armor and a burning dark magical energy engulf his exposed body.

Alex felt something was wrong and quickly flew back as she dodged a wave of energy and his attack was so strong, it cut through the buildings like paper and sending a massive shock wave that created a large dust cloud, blocking out everything.
"What the hell was that!?" thought Alex as she could see the damage the attack did and could sense a power increase coming from the dust cloud. Within the cloud, Alex could see a glowing black orb as Shield stepped out of the smoke.

"So, that's the "Element of Power"? You fused with it!?" asked Alex.

"It's time to end this." said Shield as his whole body was glowing dark energy and he charged at her.

"Bring it!"

Both dashed at each other and created a shock wave as they clashed.

Meanwhile, the shopping cart crashed into a wall, waking the two up from their sleep as the cart fell over.

"Huh? Where are we?" asked Dash.

"No idea, hey, you okay, Dash?" asked Dashie as she got up.

"Yeah, I'm fine, my head hurts though."

"Mine too, what happen? Did we crash or something?"

"We did, let's look around." said Dash as she got out of the cart and helped her other self.

"I hope everyone is okay." said Dashie.

"Same here. Hey, what's that?"

The two looked up and saw a giant ball of fire as it came crashing down near them. As the smoke cleared, they could see a large unicorn holding Alex down, as she was badly beaten. He reached out to her throat and started to crush it.

"Alex!" cried the two dashes as Dash flew to her at great speed.

"No, stay back, run you idiot!" coughed Alex

"Let her go, you monster!" yelled Rainbow Dash as she slammed into Shield and carried him up above and gathering all the speed she has. "This is for hurting AJ!" yelled Dash she broke the sound barrier and unleashing her sonic rainboom. The colorful shock waved blasted across the night sky and a bright rainbow light came coming back down.

On the destroyed apartment building, Midnight watched the event unfold as she held the top half of Rebecca body. She started to shed a tear without knowing as she jumped off the building and flew to the rainbow light.

Dash crashed into the street near the others and she was on top of Shield, who was passed out. Dash posed to them.
"Awesome, right?" she smirked as she hopped off and walked over to the awe struck self.

"Yeah, awesome!" said Dashie as she tackled hugged her other self.

"Hey, where's Alex?"

"I'm here." moaned Alex as she was sitting on the ground.

"You alright?" asked Dashie.

"No, but I'll be fine, thanks to you." smiled Alex.
"No problem, so what do we do now?" asked Dash

"Find Poppy and Fae"

"What about him?" asked Dashie.

"Leave him." sighed Alex as she stood up.

"You sure, he might get up and come after us." replied Dash.

"That's not the problem right now." said Alex as she turned around and could see Rebecca hitting the floor.
The others turned and could see Midnight standing there.

"It's been awhile since I saw the Rainboom."

"Midnight." moaned Alex "Both of you, wat-" stopped Alex as she could see them holding on their heads as a rainbow glow was coming from Dashie pocket.

"This again!?" thought Midnight as she tried to cover her eyes.

"What's going on?" cried Dash.

"I don't know!" said Dashie as they started to see memories coming to them as their minds were filled with static.

"I'll end this now!" yelled Midnight as she tried to fire off a magical beam at them but was stopped as rainbow light slammed into her and trying to push her, she looked down and saw it was her.

"Who are you!? Who! ARE!YOU!?" cried Dash as she kept pushing as hard as she could as her eyes were static.

Midnight rose her hand and forced slammed Dash into the ground, knocking her out. With her done, Midnight looked back at her remaining prey but saw they escape but it didn't matter to her, she got what she wanted as she pick Dash up but to horror, it wasn't the person she was after. This creature looked like her but wasn't at the same time. Was Flash fooling her? She turned to brother before teleported away without him.

Alex was running as fast as she could, as she was carrying Rebecca and Dashie in her arms, she didn't want to leave Dash but with everyone condition right now, she didn't had a choice. She looked down at Dashie and could see she was still passed out and the same with Rebecca.

"Hold on, you two, just a little more." said Alex.

She turned a corner and saw a abandon building and found a way in and set the two on the floor. She hid near the window and peeked out. Saw or sense no one in the area coming for them.

"Okay, it's safe."

Rebecca's body slowly started to recover itself. She was unconscious and was breathing slowly, as she was still hurt but Alex knew she will live and wasn't in danger. Dashie, however, was still knocked out and could feel something was wrong. Her body was slightly bugging out as she was flashing different colors, until it finally passed and she was normal again. Alex just couldn't understand what was going on but she was glad she was fine. She sat down and watched the two and waited until she heard someone entering the building.

"Knew you'll find us." said Alex as she watched Poppy entering the room.

"Things not going good I see."

"Nope, they found us after we escape from Midnight. What I don't understand is, how they found us?" said Alex to herself as she put her hand on her chin.

Poppy said nothing as she checked on her friends and continued to listen.

"I wasn't using my powers to be sense by Shield. Dash and her friend doesn't have any magical power level to be sense with."
Poppy got up and turned to Alex as she put on her blood covered gloves.

"Someone told them...where's Fae, Poppy? Did you kill her? Are you going to kill us too?" angry asked Alex as she could see Poppy smiling with such disturbing glee "Why?"

"It's what our Queen wanted! She showed me the way on that day when she attacked the school. You should meet her and see the way too." answered Poppy as her eyes were lifeless. Alex caught on and realized what happened to her friends.

"Midnight didn't join her, she was brain washed, wasn't she!? Just like you!" called out Alex as she tried to stand up but from the fighting from before, she had no more strength.

"We didn't need much, all we needs is a few words and a little help. Now, we are servants to the Queen and will continue to serve her till the end. Join us or die like Fae." said Poppy as she readied her gloves.

"I rather die."

"Your loss, then." smirked Poppy as she got closer but was stopped by Dashie as she jumped on Poppy back

"You will not touch her!" yelled Dashie.

"Get off me, you pest!" screamed Poppy as she threw the girl off her and slamming her to the ground and quickly grabbed her head.

"Gah, I will not fail the Queen!"

"Stop!" screamed Dashie as she was trying to push Poppy away from her.

"NO!" cried Alex as she tried to move.

Poppy slammed down her fist but it was stopped by the blunt side of a sword, she quickly looked up and saw the badly beaten Fae, as she was engulf in pure rage.

"You dare strike this wonderful and cute creature!" screamed Fae as her eyes glowed and her body was covered in a white and yellow aura.

"Fae!" cried Alex.

"What the, your alive!" yelled Poppy.

"And very mad." growled Fae as she bashed Poppy forehead with the blunt end of the sword and then grabbed her and tossed her into a nearby wall, shattering it and falling to floor as she was knock out.

"Fae!" coughed Dashie

"It's alright, sweetie, I'm fine." said Fae as she dropped her sword and fell to her knees. She watched as Dashie got up and hurry to her "So cute!" she whispered as she passed out on top of her.

After Dashie tied up Poppy with chains she found, she was caught up what happened to Dash and Poppy.

"What now?"

"I don't know. Everyone out of commission and since Flash never showed up like she always do, I get the feeling something did happened to her." sighed Alex.

"You think the Queen got her?"

"It's the only thing that make sense, she must've taken her by surprise and took her."

"Then, what are we going to do, how are we suppose to defeat her without Flash or the others?" asked Dashie as her legs were shaking.

"Don't know." sighed Alex "But I know this, Midnight has a Rainbow Shard. I noticed your own was reaction to it. It also effects both of you, doesn't?"

"I guess? Wasn't like this like before but when we see Midnight, something fills our mind. We hear a voice. Something about remembering someone we forgotten."

"Really?" asked Alex as she started to think.

"Yes, we keep seeing memories of this person, like they were part of our lives, but aren't? It's confusing! We want to remember her! I! Want to remember her so much...I don't know why but it hurts..." said Dashie as her eyes were watering.

"Shhhh, it's okay." said Alex as she patted her head "I see why Fae took a liking to you."

"Huh?"

"Anyway, you need to find Dash and with my magical senses, Midnight headed to the stadium and you'll find her there. You told me what will happen if two shards meet. You need to remove it from Midnight wrist and then escape."

"But, I can't do it alone and I can't leave you guys like this!"

"You're not alone. You have Dash, girl can handle her own. Plus, whoever you forgotten as well. Their with you in spirit. When you talked about them, you were hurting so much. Whoever it is, they're really important to you. Get back home and find them." smiled Alex

"Alex..."

"Don't worry about us, we will find a way out of here. So, hurry and go, we will be fine." said Alex

Dashie wanted to say no and stay but the way Alex was looking at her. She couldn't help it and just nod her head as she ran off out of the building and into the streets.

"Be safe, girl." whispered Alex as she weakly got up and watched the doorway as the darkness was filled light from a glowing burning sword. "Get home..."

A while later after finding the location, Dashie was running to the stadium.

"Come on, faster." said Dashie as she picked up speed and she could feel the warmth of the shard in her pocket and taking it out, she felt the Rainbow Shard was trying to reach out to the other shard and could feel the voice in her head getting louder. "Just a little bit more." she huffed. She turned the corner and saw the entrance and hurried inside as she skipped through the gate guards and using the shard to guide her. She ran down the stairs and could see the glow was getting intense. "Hold on, Dash." said Dashie.

Dashie found herself in the stands with other creatures and suddenly, there was a large explosion above her. She watched as Midnight flew out of the smoke and landing on the ring and soon to follow her was Rainbow Dash as she tried to grabbed the shard from her. Dashie tried to called out to her but there was another explosion from the same area and she looked up and could see the Queen fighting a white anthro pony.

Before this whole event happened.

Dash woke and found herself in a jail cell, she quickly got up and looked around and could see her cell was empty.
"Hello? Dashie? Anyone?" called out Dash.

There was no answer.

"Darn it!" cursed Dash.

"I see your awake little one." came a voice from another cell next to her.

"Huh?" wondered Dash as she knows that caring voice.

"Over here." said the voice as a white hand poke out of its cell and waved but was clearly taking damage and returned back where it came from.

Dash walked up to her cell bars and could see it glowing with magical energy.

"I'm guessing this is magical?"

"It is, so we can't break out of them." said the voice.

"Well, that's not cool." said Dash.

"I know, isn't it."

"Can you move closer, so I can see you?"

"I would, but if I come any closer, this field will shock me." said the voice.

"Oh, right." said Dash.

"That's alright, it's not your fault." said the voice.

"So, why are you here?" asked Rainbow as she walked away from the bars and sat next to the cell wall.

"Was trying to save someone important to me and I failed..." sighed the voice.

"I'm sorry."

"No need to be sorry again, the fault was mine. I wasn't able to protect her, because I was too weak to do what must be done."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Let me tell you something, little one, no matter the obstacle, no matter the foe, no matter the cost, protect those you love. If you can do that, than you have truly succeed in life."

"Yeah, I like that, but I still don't get what you're talking about."

"Don't worry, little one, you will know soon enough."

"So, what's your name, anyway?"

"Oh, forgive me, my name is Sunny."

"That's a nice name."

"Thank you."

"No problem. I'm Rainbow Dash."

"Rainbow Dash? Now, that's a cool name."

"I know." smiled Dash

The two talked for a bit and it seems that time went by fast as the door suddenly opened and they saw Midnight coming in and walking up to Dash's cell.

"I see your up."

"Yeah, I am and if your thinking about touching my friend again, you got another thing coming, girl!" yelled Dash as she tried to not make eye contact because every time she does, her mind becomes weird.

"You have spirit, look alike." said Midnight.

"Look alike? Oh, you thought I was Flash this whole time?"

"It was until now, you two are different up close."

"Yeah, yeah, I get that a lot since getting here." laughed Dash as she was slowly moving toward the cell bars but still carefully not to stare at her as she noticed the shard on her wrist.

"I don't get your joke, but it doesn't matter."

"I'm glad, because I wasn't making one, anyway, can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"Who gave you that shard around your wrist?" asked Dash.

Midnight rubbed the shard as she looked at it and tried to hold back her smile.

"The person...I want..." she started to say as her lifeless eyes were slowly filled life again.

"Hey, you alright?" questioned Dash

"I want to kill." said Midnight as she shook her head and turned her eyes back to normal.

"What did I just happened?" wondered Dash.

"You have a lot of nerve, asking me questions."

"Maybe I do, maybe I don't, but hey, I'm curious, besides, what else are we going to do in a place like this, right?"

"Fair point, but I want answers. Where is Flash? Why do you almost look like her? Why did you take her place?"

"That's a lot of questions. Let me see, Flash?, I don't know where, I was told I look like her, because I do, because well, how can I say this without sounding crazy to a crazy pony? Welp, because I am her, I'm from another universe. Happy?" smiled Dash.

"Another Universe? Is this a joke?"

"Do I look like a joking type of pony? Besides, what reason would I have to lie about this? I don't even know where I am and all the creatures who I do know are gone right now."

"Fine, if what you say is true, then why are you here?"

"I was tossed into this universe."

"By whom?"

"I have no idea. Look, I'm just a pony who wants to go home."

"Home?"

"Yeah, you know, a place I belong, the people who are important to me and want to be with."

"Home?" whispered Midnight as she turned to Sunny, who was listening the whole time.

"That's right, home." replied Dash as she got closer to the shard but quickly pretended to be doing something else as she could tell that Midnight was looking her way.

"What's your home like?" asked Midnight

"Oh, man, I don't even know where to start." said Dash as she sat down and leaned her back against the cell wall.

"Tell me everything." demanded Midnight.

"Okay, well, first, there's my friends, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity and then, of course, there's my number 1 fan, Scootaloo." smiled Dash.

"Who's this Scootaloo?" asked Midnight.

"Scootaloo, is a young Pegasus, a sweetheart, a bit hyper, and my biggest fan. She is so awesome and always cheering me on."

"Sounds like a wonderful girl."

"Yeah, she is, always making me happy and smiling. Always following me and trying to be me. Sometimes, I'm a bad influence on her, but she's like a-"

"A sister..." chimed in Sunny as she finally spoke up.

"Exactly!" yelled Dash "Sometimes, others say I'm like a mom to her."

"A mother..."

Midnight walked away from Dash's cell and faced her former mother.

"You don't deserve to be called "mother" or anything."

"Maybe I don't, but the love I have for you is real, even now. my daughter."

"If it wasn't for my real mother, I would had killed you!" said Midnight

"That's a lie, isn't it?"

"No! No, it's not, if it wasn't for my real mother, I wouldn't hesitate to end you."

"Really?"

"Yes, because if you were dead, I would no longer feel this weird pain and sadness when I look at you! Same when I think about "her"!"

Sunny said nothing as Midnight walked back to the doorway and turned to them. "You don't deserve to live and it would had been best for everyone if you did died.' she said and walked out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

"Are you okay?" asked Dash "She said she was your daughter right? Doesn't that mean your the master of the Alex and the others?"

Dash could hear her getting up and was now near the wall as her voice was longer and much clearer. Dash 100% knew who it was and making sense with Luna of this world.

"Yes, you met Alex back in that match."

"You were the one who saved us, wasn't it?"

"Indeed, it was and I'm glad you and the others made it out."

"Thanks."

"Your welcome. Now, let's get back on topic about what you were telling Midnight. Are you really from another universe?"

"Yeah, I am. I was thrown into this world after finding another-"

"That Rainbow Shard?" finished Sunny as she starting to understand.

"Yep. We found the shard in another universe and was sent here, after that, we was found by Alex and the others."

"So, the Rainbow Shard brought you here and it's the thing that can send you home?"

"Maybe, the other universe we came from wasn't our own."

"So you are hoping this time it does?"

"Yeah, exactly. You seem to understand and taking this whole thing very well. Alex and your students didn't believe it right away as they questioned it."

"Ah, well, I'm sure your story is farfetched, but you look and sound like Flash but you are clearly not her. A mother knows her child. Even though Flash and the others are my students, they're like daughters to me."

"So, you believe me?"

"I do. It's the only explanation I can think of."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad Midnight locked you up."

"Why is that?"

"Because, it gave us a chance to talk and I think your a pretty cool lady."

"Oh, stop, your making me blush." laughed Sunny.

"So, what are we going to do about Midnight?" asked Dash.

"I'm afraid we can't do anything as long we're in these cells." explained Sunny as she pass her hand through the bars and quickly being stunned by the magical energy.

Dash put her hoof on the bar but wasn't stunned by it. "Strange, it didn't hurt me." She swing her whole arm around the bars and nothing was happening.

"What!? questioned Sunny as she quickly stood and tried to look. "Maybe, it's because you don't have magical power level? You can break free then!"

Dash grin as she backed away from the bars and started to flap her wings. With one strong tackle, Dash flew out of her cell and crashing into the wall. She recovered and quickly tackle into Sunny cell, freeing her. For the first time, Dash could see her and was right, it was this world Celetisa.

"Nice going!" happily spoke Sunny as she helped Dash up and exited her cell.

"Thanks. Now, let's get of out here!"

"No, I came here to face my sister and make Midnight come back home. Plus you need that shard and get home. Our world conflict isn't you own to begin with. You don't need to help us any further."

"Nah, I don't care, my other self and I are going to help. After all, no matter what how you guys look, you are still people I care about."

"Such loyalty coming from a small person, thank you, Rainbow Dash!" cried Sunny as she petted her head "Just like my Flash."

"Hey, no problem, that's what I do." grin Dash.

"Now, let's hurry before we're caught." said Sunny as she took out a pair of new sunglasses and put them on.

"Right!"

Dash and Sunny left the holding cells of the stadium and quickly went upstairs. They found themselves in the locker room area, it was empty. They kept running and turned another corner, and they were now in a large hallway that headed further up the stadium.

"How big is this place?" wondered Dash.

"Very large. It's designed for the audience to view the fight. The VIP area should be in this section, as I scouted this area before your match happened." said Sunny as she lead the way.

They ran up the flight of stairs and stopped as they could see a large door ahead of them with two large rhinos.

"It's right behind those doors. We need to get in and get pass the hallway security before we can reach the throne room. Once there, we can end this madness once and for all." explained Sunny.

"How? How are we going to do that if there's guards?"

"Leave that to me." said Sunny as she was already walking and stopping in front of the two guards.

"Halt! No one is allowed in!" said the left guard before realizing who it was as she tried to grab her weapon but was punched in the gut and tossed to the side, while the other guard was kicked through the door and crashing into the hallway where other guards protected each VIP door. They all noticed Sunny and came at her with their weapons but were all taken out in seconds and crashing into each other. Dash was amazed how Sunny could do that and followed her inside the hallway.

"Whoa, nice moves. That was AWESOME!" glee Dash as she flew around Sunny as they started to head down the hall way.

As they walked passed, Dash could see noble or the rich folks poking their heads and wondering what was the noise was. Dash could tell some of them were noble folks from her world. She even thinks that blue cat woman was Trixie?

"Are you ready?" asked Sunny as she was readying up to kick down the door.

"Yep!" nodded Dash as she landed on the floor.

"Good, then, here we go!"

Sunny kicked the door down and both ran in. It was a large room, with a giant chandelier on the ceiling and red carpet on the floor and there were also many paintings. There was Lunar, drinking her wine and Midnight was standing there looking at them. Dash quickly covered her eyes from Midnight, as she didn't want to lose herself again.

"Faker and the fake mother..." she said as she stepped forward.

"I don't know what she did to you but I'm going to get you back Midnight and for you, dear sister, I should had killed you than running away with Midnight all those years ago."

"You knew she had the Moon tribe greatest element within her, didn't you dear sister?" said Lunar as she got up and stepped forward "The element of True Magic. The orb we thought we lost that night when we fused it with her. It was lying dormant within all this time. Isn't that right?"

"You were going to use her like a weapon!" yelled Sunny.

"Of course, that is our family goal and it's the only reason I kept her alive all these years." laugh Lunar as she walked over to Midnight and touching her face. "Knowing full well that she would come in handy. We can finally take over the earth and rule it."

"That's not going to happen, sis. I won't allow it."

"Ha, and who's going to stop me, you? Don't make me laugh. You always hated the fact I was better than you in magical combat and the only reason I haven't killed you is because you're still of use to me." said Lunar as her eyes glow black as the night aura and runes appeared around her. "I'm going to make you my slave, just like Midnight here!"

"Slave!? You brain washed her!" yelled Sunny as her anger released her Sun tribe magical energy "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" cried out Sunny.

"Kill me?" smiled Lunar "You can't be serious, it's your fault for running off with her and hiding her from me to begin with."

"Enough, I won't listen to any of this. I'm going to beat you down until your nothing but a lifeless body!"

"Ha, I don't have to listen to you." smiled Lunar "Kill the faker and I'll handle my dear sister, my sweet Midnight."

"As you wish, mother." smiled Midnight.

Lunar and Midnight's magic started to fill the air as Dash felt the pressure of the magic. This was a lot of magic and it was making her feel uneasy. She carefully watched Midnight legs as she flew right at her. She didn't have time to move or dodge as she was sent crashing into a wall, knocking the wind out of her. She coughed as she hit the ground. She looked up and saw the Midnight was looking at, her eyes were lifeless and cold.

"Nothing happened?" thought Dash as she wasn't losing it like before. "Does it have to do with the shards?"

Midnight quickly pinned her down with her foot and Dash couldn't move as she was kicked in the side and rolling across the ground and hitting another wall. She could feel the pain and knew she needed to fight back.

"Dash!" yelled Sunny in fear but had to block a attack from her sister magic.

Dash looked and could see Lunar and Sunny were having their battle and both were going all out. She couldn't see their fight because they were moving so fast and were sending attacks at each other. Their magic was flying all over the place, shattering things and hitting the walls. She quickly turned and dodged another attack and quickly flew up and avoiding a magical beam from Midnight.

"Your quick, I'll give you that." said Midnight as she fired more beams.

"I am the fastest pony in all of Equestia!" proudly declared Dash as she quickly flew pass her.
She had an idea and flew over to Midnight and quickly went under her and tackled her from behind and sending them both into the wall and holding her down as she started pick speed. "You're lucky! Hardly did this move in years! The Buccaneer Blaze!" yelled Dash as the whole room flashed with white beams and created a large explosion and creating a huge hole. As the smoke was still around, Midnight flew down to the ring and Dash followed her and tried to grabbed the shard but was punch away.

"I won't let anyone beat me! Not even a fake like you!" yelled Midnight as her fist became engulf with purple flames and Dash quickly dodged the punch and the whole area was blown away, destroying the whole arena. Dash had to cover her face as the blast was huge and it took a moment for her to realize what happened.

"If she lands hit like that on me, I'm dead!" thought Dash as she had to quickly dodge another attack. "I can't keep this up forever."

As Dash flew around trying to avoid her, the shard started to shine bright and she felt her mind getting weird and her eyes widen when she realized what was happening to her. She could hear it.

"You must protect her at all cost!" said a voice.

"What the heck?" thought Dash as she tried to concentrate and avoid another attack.

"Remember her." said again the voice as Dash mind was getting foggy.

"No! What's happening to me!"

"Remember!" said the voice again as Dash was feeling tired.

"Remember, but-" cut off Dash as she fell to the ground and holding her head.

Midnight took notice and walked up to her and was about to finish her off when she could see reality around her was falling apart. She looked around and noticed the creature from before, as it was running up to the faker.

"Stop!" said Dashie as kept her eyes covered "Don't do this! Alex told me, you need to fight the brain wash spell!"

"I...I don't need to!" yelled Midnight as walked up to her but looking at her closer, she reminds her of someone. Reminds her of "her" but why? "I can't...I need..."

"You can! Fight back!" cried out Dashie as she tried to grab her hand "You aren't alone. Think about your friends! They came to save you! Your mother too! Even her!"

"Her? Her!?" thought Midnight as her mind was a mess.

"I notice now, every time you ask for her, you had sadness in your eyes. You want her to save you don't you?"

"Save me? Her?"

"Your best friend!"

"My what? Flash? She's the one I hate!" said Midnight as she held her head "But why?"

"Why do you hate her? Think about it! Don't you remember the fun you had with her and the others?"

"Others? The girls...they...no...!?" said Midnight as her head started to hurt.

"Don't fight it! Let the memories return!"

"I can't. I can't..." cried Midnight as she remember hurting her friends, her best friends in the whole world and how they were trying to save her. She remembered the pain she felt when she was hurting Rebecca. "Rebecca, I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"That's it. Your coming back." smiled Dashie as her own mind was feeling weird as she slowly moved her hand away from her eyes and grabbing Midnight hand fully.

"I...I...don't want to fight. I don't want to hurt my friends!" cried out Midnight as she started to cry "Flash! Why didn't you save me!? I needed you! You promise!"

"She did. She did come and save you, didn't she?" asked Dashie.

"Huh?" question Midnight as her eyes started to return with life in them and the runes on her horn started to spark.

"We're not her but yet, we are her. We're here now and we're going to save you...Tw-" trailed off Dashie as her eyes were filled with static and she dropped to her knees as her shard floated out of her pocket and Midnight own shard tried to float to it but was chained to the friendship bracelet.

"Flash?" whispered Midnight as she touch it and smiled "Right, you told me you always be with me." Midnight horn blasted purple energy and removing the runes, freeing her. "Thank you." said Midnight as she looked at Dashie and Dash and letting go of the bracelet as the shard floated to the other shard and became one, creating a pillar of rainbow light and covering the whole area.

The light vanished as a static and glitch landscape appeared and soon took form as a park with a running track and not too far from it was a baseball field and stands. Sleeping on the stands was Dashie, as she was wearing jogging clothes. It was a perfect sunny day as the sun was high and a gentle breeze flow through the park. As Dashie snoozed, she was slowly woken up by the sounds of the bleachers shaking and someone saying "Oh, shoot." Dashie opened her eyes and could see a short black haired girl but face was covered in prism colors but she's wearing the same middle school uniform, trying to get pass her without being too noisy but was failing at it.

"Sorry, did I woke you?" asked the girl.

"Um, yeah but it's okay, I was planning on getting up anyway." replied Dashie as she sat up.

"You sure? You look exhausted, I can let you get some more rest"

"Yeah, I'm good." yawned Dashie as she got up and stretched her left arm up and could feel the warmness of the afternoon.

"Okay" smiled the girl.

Dashie rubbed her eyes and could see that the girl was sitting a few spots away from her and reading a book.

"So, what brings you here on a nice afternoon like this? To just read a book?" asked Dashie.

"Yeah, I like reading while relaxing."

"Sounds boring." teased Dashie.

The girl looked up and smiled "Boring? This isn't boring, its great!"

"Well, what are you reading, if you don't mind me asking" asked Dashie.

"Well, I was planning on reading this" said the girl as she held up a thick book with a blue cover and gold letters "but I just started reading this one."

Dashie looked closer and could see it was some kind of sciencey looking book.

"Um, that doesn't look like a normal book."

"Oh, well it's not, it's a textbook on quantum mechanics."

"Quantum...mechanics, you lost me at quantum." laughed Dashie.

"Sorry, but it's really cool!"

"Yeah, yeah, so what's your name?" asked Dashie as she was curious on this girl.

"It's..." but before the girl could say her name, static filled the area and Dashie flickered to Dash, as she was in another place but didn't question it. She was on the ground laughing, as the purple unicorn mane was all messed up and just like the other girl, her face was covered in prism colors. "Let me guess, you're Rainbow Dash?" questioned the unicorn.

"The one and only. Why, you heard of me?" proudly said Dash as she pound her chest.

"I heard you were supposed to be keeping the sky clear." sighed the unicorn as she walked up to Dash "I'm..."

Again, another static flashed again. Dash and Dashie flicker between the two as she found herself in bar as was she fighting off a group of male ponies as they were wearing biker outfits.

"Hey, hooves off!" yelled Dash as she punched the male pony.

"Hey, why you little, bitch!" yelled the male pony.

The group of ponies started to beat down Dashie. She fought back but was soon taken down and held by a big white earth pony. "You think you can challenge us? This our turf!" said the biker.

"Yeah, yeah, let me go, you big brute." yelled Dashie.

"Big brute?" asked the biker as he tightened his hold on Dashie.

Dash started to laugh and smiled at him "Hey, no hard feelings, right?"

"Feeling? What are you talking about?" asked the biker as he released his grip a little and could feel Dashie foot smacking his balls.

"That!" laughed Dash as she quickly took the biker out and started to beat down the others.

"You fucking cunt!" yelled a blue unicorn male as he castes a fireball spell but was quickly dodged by Dashie.

"Ha, is that all you got?"

The unicorn male was pissed off and charged at her and castes more fireballs and soon the entire bar was burning. Dashie could feel the heat of the fires but didn't care and continued to beat down the unicorns.

"You're the worst!" cried the unicorn as he and the others got up and escape their burning bar.

"THIS IS MY TURF!" screamed Dash as she jumped out of the burning bar and shaking her hoof at them before grabbing her sides as she was laughing so hard but in great pain as well. She walked ran off as she could hear the police and fire truckers coming. She ran down the street and rain started to fall. She ran into an alley and sat on a crate.

"Damn, that was awesome! I'm so awesome." she proudly said.

Dashie laid her head back and closed her eyes and the sound of rain helped her relax. She thought she was going to rest but was interrupted as a police car could be heard stopping at the entrance. She quickly bolted further down the alley and saw a opened door and hurry in and lock it. She rested her head against the door and could still feel the rain landing on her. She looked up and could see the dark grey clouds and realizing this was some sort of opened flower garden with a big tree in the middle as she scanned the area. "I better stay low for awhile." she thought. She walked over to the large tree and was about to sit down when she could see a purple alicorn reading a book, who quickly took noticed of her and screamed. Unlike the others though, she could make out her face.

"Who are you?" asked the alicorn as she picked up her book and was ready to use it as a weapon.

"It's Dash/Dashiell..." weakly replied both as they were flickering between each as they finally pass out from the pain and landing in front of the alicorn.

Static filled their minds again and before disappearing, they could see the Rainbow Comet before them and the same big tree and standing near it was the alicorn. They rose their arm and both didn't realize it but instead of flicker between each other bodies, it was one body, as Dashie hand was blue as she tried to reach out to the alicorn before both opened their eyes.

They found themselves on a grassy hill and looking down from it was a small town. Above the town, was chibi magical girls of Dash friends but standing on their hind legs than on all fours as they were fighting a shadow monster.
"Ugh..."cried Dash as she fell backwards on the hill while Dashie joined her but unknown to them, Dash was vanishing from her lower half before it returned to normal. Small front piece of Dashie hair became yellow and orange and bit of green in the back and her jacket changed once more...

end of ch2

ch3

Dashie opened her eyes, revealing her new color eyes, which were pink, as she saw the night sky above her, feeling the breeze of the wind around her, her eyes widened as she slightly tilt her head up and could see Dash sleeping next to her and she lowered her head back down. Dashie was happy but the same thing, upset. She was hoping she was dreaming this multiverse adventure she was having but no, it was all real.

'Is there anyway I can go home or at least tell my friends where I am. I wonder how long we been here and when are we heading home.' Dashie thought to herself. "Well, I did say to myself that I wanted something more than running." Dashie said with a sigh, looking up at the sky and closed her eyes. "But I didn't think it would be like this. I can't be mad about it, not now anyways. I mean, this is something no one will ever experience." Dashie added as she was trying to drift off to sleep once more, unaware that something was watching her within the cracking sky as it fully healed.

Rainbow Dash woke up to Dashie movements and yawned and slowly open her eyes to find the human form of herself was awake but she quickly stood up as she noticed the changes that Dashie had now and wasn't just the new jacket, which was pure blue now, but that hair had different colors.

"Hey, what's up with your hair and eyes?" Dash asked as Dashie turned her head around to face her and didn't understand what she meant as she pulled down a few strains of her hair to look at and saw they were colored, than her normal dyed blue hair.

"What the hell!?" said Dashie as she noticed the orange and yellow streak of color hair. She pulled the back of her hair on her shoulder and she could see green and purple streaks as well. "What the..." Dashie said in confusion.

"Oh, that's so cool!" said Rainbow Dash with a smile on her face. "You have streaks of my colored manein your hair! Your eyes are the same color as mine too!" Rainbow said in awe, looking closely at the human's hair and eyes.

"That's great, but I'm not really liking this right now. It's kinda freaking me out a little bit." Dashie said, looking at Rainbow Dash.

"Don't worry, it's awesome, trust me. You look a lot better and cooler than you did before." Rainbow Dash said, grinning.

"Gee, thanks." Dashie said sarcastically.

"Your welcome." Rainbow Dash replied, still smiling.

Dashie rolled her eyes and laid back down. "Was it the shard that changed my hair and eyes?" Dashie asked herself.

"I don't know, maybe? Probably." Rainbow said, shrugging.

Dashie put her hands on her eyes and suddenly remembered the day when she dyed her in a rainbow. It was a year ago, it was pride month and school just ended for the year. It was summer and Dashie was excited about it. She and her friends were at a mall and walked into a hair store.

"Wow, this is such a huge hair store. They got everything." said Penny.

"Yeah, I know, right darling? There's so much stuff to buy. And the prices are so cheap. It's amazing." replied Rachel, picking up a bottle of purple dye and showing her friends. "Check this out. This is called, "Lavender Luscious"."

"Luscious Lavender. Cool." Dashie said, walking over.

"It's not Lavender. It's Luscious. Look." Rachel pointed to the words written on the front.

"Oh, sorry." Dashie said as she rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Rachel replied, patting Dashie on the back.

"Okay. So, are we gonna buy anything today or not? 'Cause I'm getting bored." said AJ as she was ready to go home than stay in this rich people looking store much longer.

"Alright, alright. Just relax." Rachel said as she placed the bottle of dye back and allowed Dashie to look at every color they had, "Darling, I'm shock your going to dye your beautiful chestnut hair into a rainbow. Why?"

"Because, it's not enough, you know. It's kinda plain. I need something, anything, to make it a bit more interesting. I want to be colorful. Even more so for this month and..." trailed Dashie as she grabbed a bottle of black hair dye.

"Hmm, black? No, no, no. Put that down, darling. How about you try the green and purple one, but not the black. Black isn't part of the rainbow. We don't want you being all dark and emo looking, do we now?" Rachel asked, smirking.

"I'm not gonna be dark and emo. What's wrong with black? It's part of the rainbow, isn't it?" Dashie said, looking at the bottle.

"Well, not the one your holding, silly. It's not a part of the rainbow." said Rachel as she grabbed the bottle from Dashie's hands and replaced it with a bottle of purple and green dye.

"Oh, alright then." said Dashie as she looked at the new bottle of dye.

"Hey, if you want, you can buy the bottle I'm holding. It's called "Blue Berry Blush". I'm sure it would look great on you." Rachel said, smiling.

"Really?" Dashie said as she looked up from the bottle and looked at Rachel.

"Of course. If you don't like it, you can always buy a different one. But this one would definitely look good with the other dyes." Rachel said as she put the bottle in the hand cart.

"OOOOOOOO how about this one too!" said Penny as she grabbed a indigo and violet dye bottles.

"Alright, alright. Don't grab all of the colors." said Rachel, laughing as she saw Penny taking more than they needed.

"Oh, too much?" Penny said, looking at the bottle she was holding.

"Yes, Dash is just dying her hair, not painting a barn house." laughed AJ as she help Penny put back the bottles she took.

"Sorry." Penny said, putting the bottle back.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Rachel replied.

Faith, who was in the back of the group and all quiet, picked up a bottle of Red and orange brand dye and very quietly spoke to the girls, "I think... these look pretty good."

"That's perfect, Faith." Rachel said as she put the bottle of red and orange dye in the cart, making Faith smile "That's it! Lets go buy these and head back home and get your hair done. We can't wait all day."

"Finally." said AJ.

"Woo-hoo!" said Penny.

"I'm so excited! We're going to have so much fun, Darling." Rachel said as she walked towards the counter.

"Yeah, we sure are." said Dashie, looking at the bottle of dyes, smiling.

"Come on, come on. Hurry up." Rachel said as everyone was in the line and getting the dyes pay for.

"Hold your horses." Dashie said.

"I'm holding it. That's why I'm telling you to hurry up." Rachel replied, giggling.

"Alright, alright." said Dashie, smiling and rolling her eyes as the group left the store.

The group finally arrived at Dashie house, it was two story and white in color with blue trims. The group went inside, upstairs, and into the bathroom.

"Alright, time to get your hair dyed. Get ready for a lot of fun." said Rachel as she took off the plastic covering the bottles and started to pour the colors into small bowls.

"Okay. Can you help me out? I never dyed my hair with different colors before." Dashie asked.

"Of course. We'll help you out." said Rachel as she finished mixing the dyes.

"Thank you." said Dashie, smiling.

"Alright, sit on the chair and lean your head back." said Rachel as she put gloves and a hair cap on.

"Okie dokie." said Dashie as she sat down on the chair and leaned her head back.

"Now, close your eyes. I'm going to start now." Rachel said.

"Let's do this!" Dashie replied.

"Here we go." Rachel said as she poured a purple color onto Dashie's hair.

"Ooooo." Penny awed at the colors, making Dashie opening her eyes a bit.

"Don't peek. It could ruin your eyes. Stay still." Rachel said, smirking.

"Got it." said Dashie as she closed her eyes tightly.

"Good. Alright, now I'm going to use the green. Here we go." said Rachel as she started applying the green color.

"Yay." Penny cheered.

"How's it going, Dash?" AJ asked as she was leaning in the doorway.

"Pretty good. My scalp is itchy, though." Dashie replied, smiling.

"Aww." Rachel cooed, giggling. "Okay, now for the orange and red." Rachel said as she began applying the last two colors. "Almost there, darling. Almost there. There, all done." said Rachel as she placed the bottles and bowls away.

"Really?" Dashie said.

"Yep." Rachel replied, removing the gloves.

"So, I can open my eyes now?" Dashie asked.

"Sure, but keep them closed for a minute." Rachel said as she put the hair cap on Dashie's head and covered her eyes.

"Okay." Dashie replied as she sat in the chair, patiently waiting.

"Okay, all done." Rachel said, removing the hair cap.

"Alright, I can open my eyes." Dashie said as she opened her eyes.

"Ta-da! What do you think, darling?" Rachel asked as she and her friends moved out of the way, revealing the mirror. Dashie could see that her long chestnut hair, was now rainbow colored.

"Wooooow!" Dashie said, smiling widely.

"It looks awesome!" Penny shouted with joy.

"It looks amazing." AJ added.

"Yeah, you look pretty cool." said Faith.

"beautiful." chimed in Rachel as she took a photo of Dashie on her phone.

"Wow, you can really rock that rainbow look! Girl, Pride month was truly made for you." said Penny, making the group laugh.

"Thanks. Thank you all." Dashie said as she got up from the chair.

"You're welcome, darling. Now, we're not going to wash the colors out. We're going to let it stay. It will stay the same for three days." Rachel explained.

"Got it." said Dashie, grinning.

"So, what are we going to do next?" Penny asked.

"Oh I know what?" Rachel suggested.

"Like what?" AJ asked.

Rachel slowly slide in on Dashie side, with a big smile on her face, making Dashie sweating a bit, "Let's have a girl talk?"

"A girl talk, really?" said Dashie, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, a girl talk." Rachel repeated.

"...like wha-" but before Dashie could finish, Rachel quickly said what she wanted to say since Dashie ask her about dying her hair as a rainbow.

"This is for "her", isn't?"

Dashie blushed and looked down and didn't answer the question, but the answer was clearly yes.

"Oh, my gosh, I knew it. I'm a love guru, after all." said Rachel as she did a victory dance.

"What are you talking about?" AJ said, confused.

"Dash has a crush on -static-." Rachel replied, smiling.

"Whoa, really?" said AJ as she smiled at her friend, "Good for you."

"Oh, -static- did say she loves the rainbows. How refraction of Light through a Prism was cool." whispered Faith.

"So, are you going to tell her?" asked Penny hopping around Dashie in the small bathroom.

"Well...I...I don't know." Dashie replied, stuttering.

"Why not?" asked AJ.

"Yeah, why not?" said Faith.

"Yeah, darling, why not? She's a great person. She's fun to be around."

"Yeah, she's smart, pretty damn awesome, her nerdy side is cute, she's beautiful and has a nice a-" Dashie cut herself as she covered her mouth as she looked away from the girls as her face was bright red.

"Whoa, she has it bad." replied AJ in shock

"Can you blame her? -static- has junk in the trunk!" added Penny as she pointed at her butt and shook it a bit.

"Oh my god, Penny." Dashie said, blushing more.

"Darling, if you're not going to tell her, at least hint at her or give her some type of clue that you're interested in her." Rachel suggested.

"Maybe..."

"Well, we have nothing better to do. So, we can help." said AJ.

"Really?" said Dashie, turning her attention back to her friends.

"Yes, really. So, what's the plan?" Rachel asked.

"Uhhh..." Dashie stuttered, scratching the back of her head.

Before Dashie could answer the question, she could hear her mother calling out to her, that -static- was here. She started to freak out as the girls just laughed at her. She took the dye bottles to her room and was looking for a hat to hide her hair when "she" walked into the room. Dashie turned to the door and blush as she her there but she realized something as she looked at the girl face, as it was covered in prism effects.

"Dashie?"

"Who are you?" whispered Dashie as everything around her started to glitch out and her bedroom was replaced with clouds, as she found herself flying in the air and could hear the same voice from before as she right behind her.

"Rainbow, I'm sorry about all that! We didn't mean to overwhelm you!"

"It's okay. You were just trying to help. It's just too bad I'm too dumb to learn anything." sadly said Dashie as she slow down and seeing a flying purple unicorn with her face covered with prism effects. As they kept flying, the memory quickly flashed to Dashie world as she was walking than flying with the girl from before, before it flashed back to them flying.

"You are not dumb! You just learn differently!"

"If by "differently" you mean "not at all", then you're totally right"

"No, that's totally wrong!" correctly said the alicorn as she put her hoof on Dashie side

See? Wrong again." Dasie sighed as she was being stupid again.

"I don't know anypony that's read more Daring Do books than you."

"Well, that's not going to get me into the Wonderbolts."

The alicorn started to panic at Dashie response "And your knowledge of jokes and pranks is only rivaled by Pinkie."

"Great. My years of being a class clown prevented me from actually learning how to learn!" Dashie yelled as she threw her hand in the air.

"That's not what I meant. You're smart, creative, inventive, and-" softly said the alicorn before another static flashed between Dash and Dashie worlds. Dashie was back in her world but it was night time as they were walking down a sidewalk, as she stopped as the girl jumped in front of her with her arms out, so Dashie wouldn't pass her.

"Cool! You are amazing, you can run like the wind! When you do, that's when I see you, being you. Nothing can hold you back. It's beautiful. Your beautiful." softy cried the girl as she lower her arms "You are smart. You'll pass the test. I know you can. So please stop saying your dumb or useless..." the girl started to cry "That's not like you...."

Dashie heart started to beat fast as she was lost for words, she started to tear up as well "...-static-..."

Suddenly, the memory glitch out as the world became a large garden with a huge tree in the middle, as Dashie found herself all beat up again but this time, the purple alicorn, who's face wasn't covered by prism effects, was treating her wounds.

"This isn't like you, you know?" angry said the alicorn as she put the ice pack on Dash face as she flicker between Dashie and herself. "Why are you doing the whole "this is my turf" stuff again?"

Dashie said nothing as she hid her face under the ice pack.

"Not going to tell me? Fine, be like that!" angrily said the alicorn as she storm off.

"Because I can't stand to see you get hurt. Because you are the one pony that means everything to me." quietly said Dash as she peek out of the ice pack "No freaking gang, heck not even the world is gonna ruin this wonderful place."

Static.
Strong static filled the memory as someone or something was behind the tree as it peeked it's head out, it's eyes were glowing and dripping white liquid, as it's body was glitchy rainbow effects. It's neck started to stretch and it's head loomed over Dashie head, which started to flicker between herself and Dash, until it attack them with it's large mouth...

"What the-!" shouted Dashie as she quickly sat up from the ground and was covered in a cold sweat. She turned to Rainbow to tell her what she saw but she could also see Rainbow freaking out as she backed away from her.

"What was that just now!?" yelled Rainbow, breathing heavily.

"You saw it too?" Dashie replied, panting.

"Freaking yeah!" Rainbow responded, "Everything! Seeing your versions of my friends, her...then that thing...those white eyes...weird! Then there's that place with the tree, It's not like anything I've ever seen!"

"Right? I've never seen anything like it, either." Dashie said, trying to calm herself.

"What's happening to us?" asked Dash as she finally calmed down a bit.

"I-I have no idea..." said Dashie, calming herself down as well.

"It was so...so...real..." said Dash, holding her head, trying not to get a headache.

"Yeah, I thought we were still asleep." said Dashie, holding her head as well.

"But we were awake! That was the freaky part. It felt so real." Dash responded, shivering.

"Yeah, I've had dreams before. But nothing like this." Dashie added, nodding her head.

"Me neither."

"Do you think it's the shard?" asked Dashie, looking at the shard, which was still dim.

"It's gotta be." said Dash, nodding her head.

"Maybe." Dashie said, getting up and stretching as she noticed it was noon now. "We're not sure how or why, but this thing's definitely having some strange effects on us."

"Yeah, well, that's for sure." replied Dash, nodding her head. "Maybe it's the reason we can't remember those girls?"

Dashie turned to her and nodded back. "Yeah, some reason, they're important to us. We need to remember them. What they look like and their names." Dashie grabbed her chest softly and blush "I think...she's my world."

"Your world?"

"Yeah, the only person that I want to spend the rest of my life with. My other half. My soulmate. What about you? Since we're a different versions of our selves, it means that you love that alicron?"

Dash blush at the word love "W-well...she's nice and pretty cool. She's smart and pretty good with magic and she's a good leader and kind of a control freak, but not in a bad way."

"Wow, you do love her." Dashie said, blushing more as she was right, they're the same person no matter how different they look.

"Whoa, I don't like her like that! We're friends...right?" explained Dash as she held her head "Wait, where did all that came from?"

"It's not a bad thing. It's the truth. You just need to realize that." Dashie said, smirking.

"N-no...I don't love her. We're friends! Nothing more!" shouted Dash, denying it.

"Whatever, we should get ready to leave and look for the shard in this universe." Dashie said, rolling her eyes.

Dash mumble as they started to walk to the nearby town but Dash quickly flew up to Dashie face and smiled.

"Soooooooo, you are into butts too, huh?"

Dashie blushed bright red, "What?! No, no, no. I'm not a butt person. Nope, nope, nope."

"Sure, you aren't." teased Dash as she laughed, "I saw that memory of you, as you were remembering and checking out that girl's butt. You were drooling a bit, you know."

"I was not! It was a natural bodily reaction! Besides..." Dashie looked away as her ears got red. "It was a nice view."

"Wow, your AJ was right, you have it bad, huh?" tease Dash as she slap Dashie butt.

"Ah!" yelped Dashie, "Hey!"

"Come on, let's get going." said Dash, flying to the nearby town, giggling.

"Yeah, whatever." said Dashie as she walked towards the town.

Every pony in the town looked on in awe as they watched the two being standing at the town gates. Some quickly ran away, while others took photos. Standing there was two giant creatures, one was a pony like them but was on all fours than on its hind legs and had wings and very much look like a certain magical girl, while the other was a very tall creature that no one ever saw before.

"Um, where should we start?" asked Dashie, looking at the very small town and the chibi ponies.

"Let's just walk and see what happens." said Dash, as she floated into the air but carefully not damaging anything below her. "Just don't step on anypony, okay?"

"Gotcha." replied Dashie, who was tipping toeing around the buildings but she was also careful not to knock anything over.

"What's wrong with that big pony and the weird creature?!" shouted a small pony child as he pointed to the giants.

"We're scaring the children!" whispered Dashie, looking a bit scared.

"Just keep moving and everything will be fine." said Dash, floating near her ear.

"Easy for you to say. You can fly!" whisper-shouted Dashie, as she kept walking, causing the crowd to follow her.

"So, is the shard glowing or whatever?"

Dashie look out the shard from her pocket and was still dim like before, "No."

"Oh, well, let's keep going." said Dash, looking around.

As they kept walking, Dash spotted a very familiar building and quickly went up to it. Was a baker shop, just like the Cakes shop back home.

"Dash, are you hungry or something?" asked Dashie, slowly near her head.

"Huh, oh, no, I just thought this shop looks like the one that Pinkie works out." replied Dash, as she stared at the building.

"Wait, is this building?" asked Dashie, as she looked closer.

"Yeah, they're the same, it's like looking at a photo. Just the same." said Dash, looking a little sad.

"Are you okay?"

"No, no, no. It's just that...Pinkie has a great baking and cooking skills, it's just nice to see something similar for once."

As the two were talking, a white earth pony with yellow mane stepped out as she notice the crowd of people.

"Excuse me, can I help you with anything?" asked the white pony to the group but everyone pointed to the giants as she followed the pointing "Huh?" The white pony gasp loudly as she saw the two, "Whoa, are you two, like new monsters in town?"

"Huh, monsters?" replied Dashie.

"I mean, the last two weren't that scary, but these ones are."

"Last two monsters? What does she mean?" asked Dash, turning to Dashie.

"I don't know. Maybe she was talking about the monster we saw as we got here?" said Dashie, shrugging her shoulders.

"This looks like a job for the Magical Element fruits!" shouted the white pony "Which isn't me! Bye!" she said as she zipped into the shop, only for a pink glow to appear inside and quickly stepping out was Pinkie Pie and wearing a pink dress and different looking gummy at her side. "Someone called for Pink Peach Pie!" she shouted as she did a cute pose.

"Pink Peach Pie?" quietly said the two in unison.

"I am Pink Peach Pie and this is my pal, gummy!" Pinkie said, holding the alligator as it smiled at them.

"Uh, hello, there." replied Dashie, awkwardly waving at the earth pony.

"Hello!" greeted gummy and the girls screamed in surprise, except for Pink.

"Your alligator can talk?!" shouted Dashie, pointing to gummy.

"Yup! He's a magical gummy-lizard." Pink giggled.

"Magical, huh?" Dash said, looking at the lizard and noticing a faint pink aura around it.

"Yep. It's his superpower! He can talk!" exclaimed Pink, holding gummy in her arms.

"Also this." said Gummy as he started to cough up something "Wait, give me a minute!"

"It's Okay, Gummy." said Pink, as she held him in her arms.

Gummy then cough out a very long cannon gun and pointed it at Dash, who's eyes went wide. "Whoa, what's that for?" Dash asked, floating back a little.

"Don't worry, Gummy is just playing around." assured Pink.

"Yeah, but-" said Dashie, worried about the gun.

"Gumball cannon!" shouted Gummy as he fired and a bunch of pink peaches cream came shooting out and blasting Dash away from the town and into distance forest.

"Dash!" screamed Dashie as she quickly ran after her but was stopped as Pink Peaches and gummy were floating in front of her.

"Oh, you want some too?" asked gummy, cocking the gun.

"No!" shouted Dashie, as she backwards in fear but quickly remember there were ponies under her and tried to catch her fall but something held her with two hooves.

"Trying to crush the town folks, I see!" said female voice.

"That voice, AJ?" thought Dashie as she felt being lifted and getting tossed into the town square, where there was no one around. She landed her and could see a orange earth pony on a roof as she was wearing a magical girl cowboy outfit and dress in red, as a dog stood next to her.

"Red Apple Crisp won't allow you to hurt anypony here!" said Red as she did a cowboy pose.

"What's going on? I don't want to fight anyone." said Dashie, feeling a little scared.

"Well, you're about to get some, darling!" said a new voice, as a white and purple dress unicorn landed next to Red and doing a fancy pose with lights, which made Red face hoof. "White Blackberry Cobbler is here!" soon, a cat landed on her head and yawning.

"Great." groaned Red as she kicked away the lights.

"What's going on? I have no idea what's happening!" cried Dashie, backing away from the two magical girls.

"You're going down, big girl." said Red, as she jumped from the roof.

"I don't want to fight anyone!" repeated Dashie, trying to back away more but Red was quick as she grabbed her foot and slammed her down.

"I'll teach you to attack this town and hurting the people I care about!" shouted Red, as she jumped on top of her and punching her repeatedly.

"Ow! Ow! Stop!" pleaded Dashie, trying to grab her but Red was too fast.

"Hey! Leave some for me, darling!" shouted White as she joined in on the punching.

"Ahh!" shouted Dashie in pain.

"You're not so tough, now, are ya?!" shouted Red, continuing the punches.

"Stop, please!" begged Dashie.

"Not until you're defeated." said Red, stopping the punches and taking out a red rope with a star at the end.

"Aww, is the big mean monster crying?" teased White, giggling.

"No, please!" cried Dashie, trying to crawl away but her feet were tied by the rope.

"Time for you to go back where you came from." said Red, grabbing the star and it began to glow red.

"Wait!" pleaded Dashie but Red pulled the star and a giant red hole opened up and sucked her in.

"Welp, another day as a magical girl." said Red, putting her hooves on her hips.

"Another day." repeated White, nodding her head.

"Goodbye, big scary monster!" shouted Pink Peach Pie, waving at the hole as she arrived but turned to her pals "You think we should have listened to her?"

"Nah, she was lying." said Red, waving it off.

"Well, time to go home." said White, walking away.

"I should bake some cupcakes." said Pink, skipping after her.

"Good idea, you two but we got clean up the mess...." said Red, following after them.

Gummy and the other pets were the last ones left, as they were looking into the hole with their vision and they could Dashie floating in the red void.

"She's not like the other monsters." questioned Winona

"Agreed, I think we should listen to her." replied Opalescence as she hopped into the red hole, followed by Winona.

"I'll stay here and shallow this gun back down." said Gummy as he tried to push the cannon back down his throat, creeping out other ponies as they walked pass.

meanwhile, Dash woke up and could see she landed in a open field with a water fall and a small lake. She knows this place as she stood up and shaking off the peaches cream off her body.

"Isn't this Fluttershy's animal sanctuary?" asked Dash, looking around and noticing the waterfall. "Yeah, it looks the same as the one back home." said Dash, looking up at the sky and seeing a colorful bird flying above but quickly remember what just happened to her and needed to protected Dashie from this world Pinkie but she suddenly saw somepony at the top of the waterfall. Dash could see it was Fluttershy wearing a yellow dress and next to her was Angel.

"You dare to hurt my animals, you monster!" shouted Fluttershy as she did a cute pose as she blush red "Yellow Banana Cream is here!"

"Oh, great." grumbled Dash, rolling her eyes.

"How dare you hurt innocent animals! Prepare to die!" shouted Yellow as she fired a giant banana cream pie at her and it exploded on her, making a cloud of cream. "Oh, no. Did I over do it!?" said Yellow, covering her mouth in shock.

"Ugh, is that the best you got, Fluttershy?" complained Dash as she came out the smoke, wiping the cream off her body.

Yellow sighed with relief but quickly blushed as she shouted "It wasn't like I worried about you or anything! Baka!"

"Uh, okay?" replied Dash, confused about what was going on.

"Come on, Angel." said Yellow, jumping down and Angel following her.

"Um, wait a second." said Dash, trying to call her but was interrupted.

"Yellow Banana Cream will be your executioner!" said Yellow as she jumped in the air and spun her body around to do a drill kick.

"Whoa!" said Dash as she flew out the way, "Fluttershy, what are you doing?!"

"Die, you monster!" yelled Yellow, kicking her.

"Okay, okay. That's it." said Dash, having enough and pinning the mare down, "Fluttershy, stop attacking me! It's me, Rainbow Dash."

"Liar! Blue Berry Rainbow isn't large!" cried Yellow, trying to escape but was being held tight.

"Fluttershy, I know this sounds crazy, but I'm not the same Rainbow Dash that you know. I'm from another universe and came here when a comet fell." explained Dash.

"What?!" exclaimed Yellow, not sure if she should believe her or not.

"Yeah, the comet has this magic, I guess and it transported me, well us, not us us but me and another version of me, here and only way back home is using a rainbow shard from this universe."

"That does sound crazy, but, I'll give you a chance, big Rainbow. But if you're lying, you'll be sorry." said Yellow, still being held while Angel was kicking Dash back hoof.

"Fine by me, just stop attacking me okay?" replied Dash, releasing her.

"Okay." said Yellow, standing up.

"So, what's with the outfit?" asked Dash.

"It's my magical girl uniform." answered Yellow.

"Right."

"So, what are we looking for exactly?" asked Yellow, walking around Dash.

"A rainbow piece. We think we'll find one if we follow our own Rainbow shard..." Dash stopped and remembered about Dashie, who has the shard "Oh, no. Dashie!"

"Who's Dashie?" questioned Yellow.

"Remember what I said before, well a different version of myself. We were separated after Pinkie attacked us!"

"Oh, dear." said Yellow but quickly blush as she faced away "It's not I'm worried about your other self or anything! BAKA!"

"Okay? Let's hope Pinkie doesn't send her flying as well." said Dash, flying back to town.

"Wait!" said Yellow as she tried to catch up.

"What is it?" asked Dash, turning back to her.

"Um, I-I mean, if I can help in any way, please let me." requested Yellow, looking down.

"You're helping already, Fluttershy. Just by believing me." said Dash.

"I-I don't know. You are a large stranger after all." said Yellow, looking nervous.

"Yeah, I can't argue with you on that, but trust me. You can always trust Rainbow Dash." said Dash, flying back to the town and Yellow smiled as she knew her Rainbow will act like this.

Back at the town, Red and White were still cleaning up the town from the attack and White was annoyed about having to work so much, even if the work wasn't hard.

"You're so lazy." groaned Red, shaking her head.

"I know, darling." whined White, not moving from her spot.

"Get back to work." ordered Red.

"Fine, fine." grumbled White, getting back to cleaning.

"Good. The sooner we finish, the sooner you can go home or whatever." said Red, going back to the square.

"Yeah, yeah." replied White, not caring.

Suddenly, White and Red could see a rainbow light heading to town.

"Is that Blue Berry? She's coming fast." asked White

"I don't think that's Blue! It's too big!" exclaimed Red.

They watched as the rainbow blur flew over head and finally stopped in the air. Both magical girls were confused as they were staring at Dash.

"Is that Blue!?" asked Red.

"Maybe she got bigger?" questioned White.

"I'm not sure." said Red.

"It doesn't matter! She's a threat!" said White, changing her broom into a large white hammer.

"White! Stop look!" shouted Red.

"Hi, everypony!" shouted Yellow as she waved from her position on Dash head, while Dash landed next to the girls.

"Is that Blue!?" asked Red

"What happened to her?!" exclaimed White.

"Guys, calm down. This is-" said Yellow but was interrupted.

"Blue? Are you okay?" asked Red, ignoring her.

"She's not Blue!" shouted Yellow in pure rage

"She's right, short story, I'm from another universe and might look like your Rainbow." said Dash "I'm not from here or a monster and I'm looking my other self. Did you see her anywhere? She's just as big as me."
Red and White both looked at each other with worry

"We saw her, but..." said White, remembering that event.

"Where?!" asked Dash.

"We sent her to the pocket universe..." finish Red.

"The what now?" questioned Dash, not sure what a pocket universe was.

"We'll explain." said Red as she and White were explaining the pocket universe to Dash.

Meanwhile, Dashie was falling down and could feel like she was falling forever, until she saw a flash of light and she landed on a soft and rubber floor. She could see a rainbow path in front of her and saw it lead to a forest and far in the distance was a castle. All look normal size too.

"This way, huh?" said Dashie, starting her way down the path.

As she was traveling down the path, she could feel something was watching her and turned around, seeing nothing behind her but she continued. Finally, she made it to the castle in front of her and the sky was full of rainbows.

"Weird." said Dashie, not sure how to get inside the castle. She could see the door was big but she tried to pushed it open.
"Come on, open!" said Dashie, continuing to push the door but it was no use, she started to think and thought of a idea as she rose her hands and shouted "open sesame!"

Nothing happened

"Welp, I tried everything I could do!" shouted Dashie, as she walked away but stopped as she heard a voice.

"Hey, come back!" shouted the voice.

"Huh?" questioned Dashie, as she looked around and couldn't find anyone.

"Up here!" shouted the voice again, as she looked up and could see a small purple alicorm in a window above the door.

"Sorry, I didn't see you there." said Dashie.

"What are you?" asked the alicorn.

"What are you?" repeated Dashie.

"An alicorn, duh. What's your excuse?"

"I'm a human."

"You look strange."

"I'm not strange! I'm cool! Don't you forget it."

"You remind me of someone...she's less cocky though." explained the alicorn as she took off her glasses and wiped it clean
"Whatever, why are you here?"

"I need a way out, can you help?"

"Maybe...come on in."

Dashie was about to open the door but it suddenly opened up, allowing her to walk inside. She could see she was in a living room. A normal plain living room.

"Come sit." said the alicorn.

Dashie walked into the living room and could see the alicorn sitting on a chair.

"What's your name?" asked the alicorn.

"I'm Dashiell but friends call me Dashie, and yours?"

"I'm Purple Grape Jelly, leader of the Magical Element Fruits."

"What's that?"

"It's an organization to help out ponies in trouble. You know, save the day."

"Ah."

"You want a cupcake?"

"Sure."

Purple handed Dashie a cupcake with blue frosting and Dashie started to eat it.
"Mm, this is good. You made this?"

"Nah, Blue Berry did. She's top notch in my cupcakes."

"That's cool. I can't bake."

"Really? That's weird, you're a girl right?"

"Hey, don't judge me."

"Alright, alright. So, tell me why you're here?"

"Well, short story, a comet from space crashed and sent me and my other self here and the only way to go home is getting a rainbow shard. Do you know where we can find a rainbow shard?"

Purple got up and looked over the being in front of her, until she walked to the window.

"Rainbow shard? Like this one?"

Dashie watched as Purple lower her collar, revealing a rainbow shard embedded in purple chest.
"Yes, that's it!" shouted Dashie, jumping off her seat.

"Great, you can have it but..."

"But, what?"

"Removing this shard will end my life. Do you have the heart to kill me?"

"What, no way!"

"Why?"

"That's not me. I'm not a killer."

"Then, you'll never leave."

"There has to be another way."

"This is the only way for you to get home. what will you do?"

"I...I won't kill you, there has to be another way. I don't remember her name or face but I remember her saying this to me when things were looking bad in that basketball match and does sound cheesy, "Never give up! Friendship always finds a way!". There has to be another way and I'm not hurting someone I just met."

Purple could see that this being really cared about her values and truly was Blue in a different form.

"Alright, you passed the test. Congratulations."

"The what!?"

"The test."

"Test, what kind of test?"

"The test to see if you're a good creature. It's simple, you can get the shard if you're willing to kill me for it but you cared more about me than getting it. Protecting someone life was more important than going home."

"Well, when you put it like that, it's a no brainer."

"Yup, you are Blue Berry alt version alright. Wasn't just me by the way. You can all come out." said Purple as the living room suddenly changed into a large dome room and in the middle was a large circle table and sitting at each seat was the pets that Dashie saw before.

"Whoa." gasped Dashie.

"You did great, congratulations." said Winona "You were honest to the bone. I'm Winona, the avatar of the element of honesty."

"You spared her life, by giving up a way home." spoke Opalescence "Name is Opalescence, the avatar of the element of generosity."

Sitting at the head chair, was a owl that he flew up and landed in front of Dashie and spoke "You carry a great spark within you, a magic that only appears with friendship." said the owl "My name is Owlowiscious, the avatar of the element of Magic."

"Wow." spoke Dashie, not sure what else to say.

"We noticed a weird magical aura yesterday and realize Blue Berry and Tank, avatar of Loyalty, were missing." explained Owlowiscious as he flew back to his chair "If you arriving here, it believes me you swap places with her."

"Swap?" whispered Dashie as her eyes went wide "That will explained what happened to another version of "me" named Flashing, she was missing too. We must had switch places with her and now with Blue Berry." explained Dashie.

"Interesting, maybe a universe can't have another version of "you" in it, so it swapped you for the other. Maybe having two versions of you can be very dangerous." explained Purple

"But I came here with a pony version of me. Nothing bad happened?"

"Well, depends. How did you two actually get here? You said something about a comet?"

"Yeah, see I was in the woods looking at the Rainbow Comet until a piece fell off and landed in the woods. I went to see where it landed and once I touched it, I saw my pony version self, was almost like mirror. She too was touching it and everything started to break down around us. Soon we were blasted into another universe." explained Dashie.

"The Rainbow Comet? That comet is a legendary comet that flies nears our planet every year. So the shards is from that?"
Dashie watched as Purple opened a gateway back to ponyville and faced her.
"I know where to find a shard, come with me."

Dashie, Purple, and all the pets jumped through the portal, landing on the ground and they could see everypony watch Pink pulling out the cannon gun from Gummy mouth.

"I can just pull it out, you know?" sighed Dash as she floated over and was about to pull the cannon out of Gummy's mouth but stopped as she saw Dashie walking out of a portal and returning big again.

"Dashie!" shouted Dash as she flew over to her and hugged her.

"Hey, Rainbow." replied Dashie.

"Wow, you got bigger." said Purple as she scanned both girls. "Or maybe, we're just smaller than other universes."

"Who's this?" asked Dash

"This is the leader of the Magical Element Fruits, Purple Grape Jelly." said Dashie

"What's up." replied Dash, nodding her head.

Purple nodded back and turned to her team and ordered them to come over. "These are two aren't monsters and they're good creatures, just trying to get home. I need to head to my house and get something. Protect these two while I'm gone." ordered Purple.

"No problem, ma'am." spoke Yellow

"I can protect myself, you know?" asked Dash

"Not against "her"." said Red, remembering "her".

"Wait, who's "her"?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"The Queen of all Monsters." explained Purple.

"The what now?"

"A monster who's more powerful than the rest and is a threat to this world."

"She's dangerous." replied White

"I'm off, stay safe!"

Everyone watched as Purple flew off to her castle outside of the town. Everyone just stood there until Pink finally pulled the cannon out and landed behind them.

"It's out!"

Everyone sighed...

half hour later, the group was talking among themselves, until Dash pulled Dashie away from Pink unless questions.

"What's up?"

"Hey, remember the purple one?"

"Yeah?"

"Didn't she look like Midnight and Tara?"

"Now that you mention it, yeah. She's looks a bit like them."

"Remember when we saw Midnight? We were having those weird visions."

"Yeah, I remember. What are you trying to say?"

"Do you think who we're looking for, is "our" versions of "her"?"

"Could be but it could just be a coincidence or maybe it were the shards? Remember, Midnight had it on her. The first time it happened, Tara wasn't there."

"Right..."

"Don't worry, we'll figure this out."

"Hope so, it's confusing."

Suddenly, everyone could see a large dark smoke forming in front of them. They could hear a voice coming from it.

"It's her! Get ready everpony!" shouted Red as she summoned her magical whip.

The group stood their ground and could see a large purple hoof reaching out and banishing the smoke away, revealing Nightmare Moon but wearing a dark blue magical girl dress.

"Prepare to die!" greeted Nightmare Moon

"Get back, it's monster Queen, Dark Blue Plum Cookie said Red as she attacked Plum with whip but she easily dodge it but quickly took noticed of the two giants and look on in awe.

"Wait, hold up, who are these two?" asked Plum as she did a time out pose with her hooves.

"Don't let your guard down, she's trickster." spoke Red.

"Whoa, chill, I was just asking a question."

"It's not a trick, she really wants to know who we are." said Dashie, looking down at Plum.

"Who are you two?" asked Plum, curious.

"I'm Rainbow Dash." spoke Dash.

"Dashiell or Dashie." spoke Dashie

"Wow, won't lie, I kind of feel insecure with my monsters right now. You make them look small..." said Plum as she stared at the girls.

"Thanks?" replied Dash, unsure what to say.

Rest of the Magical girls and avatars looked on in confusing as Plum sat on the ground, defeated.

"I guess my plans ruined now, not much I can do. Like, I had biggest monster to release but seeing you two? forget it." spoke Plum

"Sorry?" said Dashie, unsure what's going on.

"Nah, not your fault, you just doing you, you know. So what are you here for? Looking to crush a town or something?"

"Crush a town?"

"Oh, come on, you're a monster, what are you going to do, play hopscotch?"

"Nah, we're just trying to find our way home. We're not like that." laughed Dashie

Red and the others huddle together as they watched them talk.

"Hey, what's going? Was she always that chill?" asked White

"No, not at all. Something's not right." replied Red

"Are you sure, I don't know, she seems to be having a good time?" added Pink

"Maybe...she's not really evil? but it's not like I'm worried about Plum or anything! BAKA!" shouted Yellow as her face turned red.

"Uh, you okay?" asked White, backing up.

"We need to stay focus and make sure she doesn't try to release a monster. That's what we do." spoke Red.

"You guys want some snacks, I have plenty!" said Plum as she was in the group huddle, freaking everypony out.

"How'd you get in here!?"

"I walked over?" replied Plum, waving her hooves.

"Okay, that's enough. We have business to attend to. If you're not here to hurt anyone, leave." ordered Red, cracking her whip.

"What's your problem, girl? We're just hanging out, no big deal. What's wrong with making new friends? Not like we're trying to take over the world or something...oh right." laughed Plum as she scratch the back of her head.

"Girls, she's cool, really." said Dash

"Why are you trusting her?" asked Red

"Because, she's nice." said Dashie

"Nice, she's a monster."

"Hey! I'm not monster like my babies here!" said Plum as she held her tiny cloud monsters in her arms.

Red and her gang just couldn't understand what was going on anymore. Plum walked over to Dashie and sat on her lap.
"So, what are you guys waiting for?" questioned Plum as she bit her cookie. Before they could answer, Purple returned and was holding a rainbow shard in her hooves but quickly dropped it as she saw Plum and was ready for battle but stopped as Plum was waving at her. "Yo Grape! How are you! You see these two! Awesome right!?"

"What's going on?" whispered Purple to her gang.

"We don't know as well..." said everypony.

Before Purple could say anything else, the shard that was on ground, started to glow and floated up to the air. Everyone watched as the shard from Dashie pocket came out and with a large flash, reality was breaking around them. The shards slowly met each other and fused as one and giant pillar appeared and wiped everything away.

"What happened? Where did my gal pals went?" asked Plum as she noticed the giants were gone.

"Home...hopefully." said Purple as joined Plum.

"Hey, you okay? You look worry?"

"I just don't understand. If the universe doesn't allow two versions of the same pony in a universe. Why are these two allowed to be together? Something not right and I'm having a bad feeling about this." explained Purple to herself.
Plum had no idea what she was talking about but she nodded and handed her cookie to cheer her up.

Both girls fell into a back alley street and were knocked out again. The area around them was a night city alley and no sign of any ponies around. The dark city looked run down and filled with evil and darkness aura among the streets. On a nearby rooftop, a dark figured saw what fell and grapple to the alley way and slowly walked up to the girls and watched as Dash body was fading away much stronger now and Dashie hair was now completely rainbow hair like Dash, as her jacket changed once more as well. The figure narrowed it's white eyes and stepped into the light of a nearby light pose.

"Flare?"

end of chapter 3

ch4 part 1

The sun beamed through the clouds and hitting Rainbow Dash goggles and waking her up from her nap. "Ugh, already?" she said groggily, sitting up and putting her goggles on. She could see hertwo wonderbolt team mates, as they were talking among themselves, as they waited for the Princess of Friendship to walk out of the Cloudeseum main stage, as this is the first year she'll be doing the judging of the The Best Young Flyer Competition. Rainbow and her team mates will be coming down from clouds above and do a few tricks and finishing it with her sonic rainboom and landing in front of the Princess.
Rainbow looked at the stage, she could see somepony walking out and the crowd started to cheer. Rainbow could see a purple unicorn pony with a lavender mane. She wore a purple and golden crown on her head. A few minutes passed and the Princess is ready to announce the start of the competition. Rainbow smiled, seeing how popular -static- is with the ponies in Cloudsdale, Rainbow was happy her friend was loved by the other pegasus.

"Ponies, are you ready?!"

The crowd cheered, as they're excited for the competition to start.

"Alright! Let the games begin!" Princess said happily and the competitors came flying onto the stage and watching the sky above as Dash realized this was the cue to start.

"Okay, this is it! Remember, we are representing the Wonderbolts here. So let's put our best hooves forward." Lightning Dust said as she flew downward.

"You got it, boss!" The rest of the Wonderbolts replied and followed Dash. Dash began doing loopty loops and twirling around in the air, before stopping midway and letting her two fellow Wonderbolts to perform some stunts of their own, before flying under her. Rainbow was getting ready to perform her Sonic Rainboom, as she had to time her move at just the right moment. As she reached the peak of her altitude, Rainbow took a deep breath, closed her eyes and flapped her wings, creating a loud sonic boom and-

Static filled the memory as Dashie was running in the cold rain, as she was the only person in the school track field. She was running to cool off after what happened earlier today. She had a fight with -static- about not wanting any scholarships for track and field, she didn't want to run all her life. She's will be the only one not going to college and she was okay with that. She knew her parents won't be too pleased about it but she has the money for it, it's not the money that's the problem.
The real problem is not knowing what to do with her life after school. Dashie didn't know what she wanted to be. Her parents and her teachers are worried about her, she had the talent and the skill but she didn't know what to do. She ran. Ran in the cold rain, until she could feel like the rain had stop, like she was running so fast, that she was passing through the rain storm but she slowed down and stopped as she felt something was placed on her head.
Dashie could hear someone say something, it sounded like a female voice. She couldn't tell, she was exhausted.

"What?!" She yelled, turning her head around and could feel it was a towel. She was confused, no one should on the track field.

"It's a towel." the voice said.

"I can see that, but where are you?" Dashie said as the rain was coming down much harder now.

"Here, let me help." yelled the voice as she put a umbrella over her.

Dashie saw "her" with the umbrella, and could feel the girl drying her head while holding the umbrella on her other hand.

"You gonna catch a cold!." the girl said

"Thanks." Dashie said, smiling, feeling the towel being wrapped around her and the girl was drying her.

"What are you doing, running in the rain?" The girl asked,

"Cooling off..." blushed Dashie as she faced away from her but the girl pushed back under the umbrella and was drying her hair again.

"No! Stay here! We need to talk about what your doing!" the girl said, a little worried about her.

"You mean about not knowing what I want to do?" Dashie sighed

"Yea...you can be the greatest runner EVER! Why don't you want that?" the girl asked, a little confused about her decision.

"Cause I don't know what I want! That's why!" Dashie yelled, pulling away from her.

"Why didn't you say anything earlier?" the girl asked, as she pulled the towel around her, trying to dry her more.

"You won't understand..." Dashie replied.

"I will if you tell me. You never open up about things." the girl said as she hugged her

Dashie sighed and could feel herself blushing a bit. "I just don't know what I want in life." she finally spoke up.

"It's not like you'll be the only one not going to a university or have a job. Everyone's worried about you and so am I." The girl said, a little hurt, thinking Dashie was ignoring her feelings.

"I know...it's just that my friends already know what they're gonna do. And I have no idea." Dashie explained as she was still facing away from her.

"That doesn't mean you can ignore everyone who cares about you! Including me!" the girl said, trying to hold her tears, hugging her more.

Dashie turned her head towards her and could see tears running down her face. Dashie sighed and turned around, hugging her, wiping the tears off.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ignore or hurt you." Dashie said, looking at her prism eyes, smiling.

"Your gonna catch a cold! Come on! Let's go inside!" the girl said as they walked inside the building, heading towards the lockers. But stopped as the rain finally stopped. Girl noticed something on the track and pointed to Dashie head. Dashie touch her hair and could see her dye hair bleeding off and she somehow left a rainbow trail around the track.
The rainbow track quickly glitch to Dash rainboom, where Dash landed in front of the princess and bowed to her.

"Come on Rainbow, you don't have to do that." Princess laughed.

"Yes, I have. You're a Princess and you're my friend, too." Rainbow said, as she stood up and smiled.

"I'm happy for you Rainbow, you followed your dream and made it. I'm so happy to be here as well, front row seats of your dream becoming true." the princess smiled as she hugged her.

"Yea. It was hard but I'm glad it all paid off. Now, I can live my dream of being a wonderbolt. Thanks to you, -static-." Rainbow said as she hugged her back.

"I didn't do anything?" the princess said.

"Of course you did! Without you, always being there for me, like helping me study or cheering me on, I would never become a wonderbolt." Rainbow said, smiling.

"Oh please, you're a natural. You proved yourself." the princess said, a little embarrassed.

"Well, whatever happens, I'll always be thankful to you." Rainbow said, smiling.

"Me too. You'll always be my friend and a hero to the others. Thank you, Dashie." the princess said, looking at the rainboon in the sky.

"Your welcome, -static-. Always." Rainbow smiled.

The memory glitch again and the sound was filled with static, Dash and Dashie was flickering between the two as they found themselves back in the garden with the big tree but this time, the tree was burned and the grass was dead. The building was destroy and everything beyond as well. They looked up in the red burning sky and there in the sky was a sonic rainboom but not one but five as they ring out across the fiery sky. They looked down and they could see the alicorn as she was lifeless in their arms. They started to cry with no reason.

"Remember..." said a voice.

"Who's there?!" Dash yelled, looking around.

"Remember..." the voice said again.

"Remember what?" Dashie said, looking around.

"Her..." the voice replied.

"Whose her?!" Dash yelled.

"Remember her...remember..." the voice faded as a bright rainbow start appeared in the middle of the rainbooms as it flew towards them and slammed the garden and destroying it as the voiced screamed in pain as everything became static and prism colors "THE PAIN OF NOT SAVING HER!"

Dash quickly shot up from the bed and screaming as she remember the nightmare and sweating a storm. She looked around and could see she was in a glass cell and surrounded by darkness and the only light was the lamp above her. She removed the blanket and froze as she noticed her lower body was disappearing. She screamed again. "Ahhhh! What's happening to me?!" She said, scared.

"I see your awake." said a cold voice from the darkness.

"Who's there? Where am I? What did you do to me?" Dash asked, as she tried to get up.

"I did nothing, I found you like that." the voice said, walking closer to the glass.

"What do you mean?" Dash asked.

"The real question is, how did you get here?" The voice asked.
Dash quickly realized what the voice meant and she quickly explained everything.

"Hmm. Interesting." the voice asked.

"Who are you?" Dash asked, looking at the direction of the voice.

"My name is..." The voice said, walking closer to the glass and the light revealing a woman, wearing a bat theme outfit "Nightmare."

"Nice outfit. Are you a superhero?" Dash asked, wondering if she should know her.

"Sort of." Nightmare replied.

"Where are we?" Dash asked.

"My batcave." Nightmare replied.

"Batcave?" Dash repeated.

"Yes, it's a place where I store my gadgets, information, and other things." Nightmare explained.

"How did I get here?" Dash asked.

"After Superpony disappeared, I found this weird reading in space and few days later, the same reading was appearing over my city and I tracked it down and found you two." Nightmare explained.

"Two? Where's Dashie?" demanded Dash as she flew to the glass and face to face with Nightmare.

"She's right there." Nightmare said, pointing behind, as the batcave lights turned on, revealing Dashie in the same cell but across from them but she was wheezing and sweating heavily.

"What's wrong with her!?" Dash asked, seeing her condition.

"I don't know, when I found her, she was like that. She won't wake up." Nightmare explained.

"We have to help her!" Dash yelled.

"Relax, I been doing test on her body and the bat computer should tell me what's wrong." Nightmare said, pressing a few buttons.

"How long was were we out?" Dash asked.

"Three weeks." Nightmare replied.

"Three weeks?!" Dash said, surprised.

"I had to put you both in the same cell as I had no idea what could happen at first but I noticed it was getting worst between the two of you, so I put you two in your own cells. It's working for now." Nightmare said.

"What's happening between us?" Dash asked, flying to the glass again.

"I don't know, not yet." said Nightmare as she started to walk away.

"Wait, where you going?" Dash asked as she press her face on the glass, as she watched her walking up a fleet of stairs and disappearing into the darkness. "HEY! COME BACK HERE!"

Rainbow sat down, as she was waiting for Nightmare to come back, and looked at the batcomputer, wondering what could be wrong with Dashie, as the screen was flashing numbers and charts. Dash sat on the floor and closed her eyes, remembering the nightmare, the voice talking about not saving her. Was it about this? She closed her eyes and just waited, waited for the only person who can help them.

A hour had pass, and Nightmare returned with a plate of food, mostly apples and hay, as she's going off by the horse looks, she wouldn't eat any kind of meat she guess. "Here, it's not much but I'll get my maid to cook more if you want." Nightmare said as she gave the plate to her by sliding it in the food hole.

"No thanks." Dash said as she looked at the hay and apples.

"Don't worry, it's not poison." Nightmare said.

"Why should I trust you? You are keeping us locked up like animals." Dash asked.

"Because your body needs nutrients." Nightmare replied and walking to the computer and sitting down.
Dash didn't want to eat but the smell was too good, she quickly ate the whole thing. "Well, looks like your body was starved for three weeks." Nightmare said.

"So, can I ask some questions?" Dash asked.

"Go ahead." Nightmare said, pressing a few buttons on her computer and scanning something that she took out of pocket.
"Why are you dressed as a bat?" asked Dash as she was licking the plate.

"I'm a bat." Nightmare replied.

"I can tell but why are you dressed as one?" Dash asked, curious.

"Because people can fear a bat. If they see a human, they will not be afraid, not scared but a bat is another story." Nightmare explained.

"People are not that stupid." Dash said.

"Trust me, they are." Nightmare replied.

"You can't just force someone to fear something, just because you dress up as a bat." Dash debated

"People will fear something, if it's the only thing they ever see. You don't know how cruel humans are." Nightmare said, not looking at her.

"Well, not everyone is like that." Dash said, smiling.

"You sound like her." Nightmare said.

"Sound like who?" Dash asked.

"Superpony..." Nightmare replied, still pressing buttons.

"What happened to her?" Dash asked.

"We don't know." Nightmare replied.

"Can't you use a tracker to find her?" Dash asked.

"That would make sense but none of trackers are showing she's not in this solar or any other solar systems. I'm starting to believe she's not in this universe anymore, even more so with her look alive here with me and what you told me before hand." Nightmare said, as she turn her chair towards her.

"You think we did something to her?" Dash suggested.

"Maybe, I don't know."

"But we didn't do anything! I swear." Dash yelled, flying to the glass and press her face against the glass, all sad.

"Calm down. I didn't say that." Nightmare said, as she got up.

"Then why do you say that?" Dash asked.

"Remember what I said, when she disappeared? You three have the same energy readings. I searched all recorded energy that I can find and nothing. I believed you swapped places with Superpony." Nightmare explained.

"Swap places?" Dash asked.

"Yes, I still don't why though but maybe this shard has some answers?" Nightmare suggested, holding up a glowing crystal.

"Where did you get that?" Dash asked.

"Your friend was holding it, when I found you. I had to take it." Nightmare explained.

"Give me the shard. NOW!" Dash demanded.

"Why should I? This could answer my questions. You even told me what it's used for." Nightmare asked, curious.

"It doesn't belong to you tho. Give it back now or else." Dash threatened.

"Or else what? Your locked in there, I can do whatever I want with this shard." Nightmare smirked as walked up to the cell.

"I can still fly and hit the glass!" Dash threaten, showing her wings.

"And do what? Break the glass? How can you do that if you can't break through the glass?" Nightmare asked, tapping her glass cell.

"Huh?!" Dash asked, confused.

"This glass is made out of diamond. It's the hardest rock and almost nothing can break it, not even the strongest metal or even your own fists." Nightmare explained.

"You don't have any right to keep us locked up!" Dash yelled, hitting the glass and hurting herself.

"I'm not. I'm keeping you both safe." Nightmare said, as she walked back to the computer.

"Safe from what?!" Dash demanded.

"You two are different from my world. You have powers and your bodies are changing. I can't let anyone know or someone can use you for the wrong reasons." Nightmare explained.

"What about my friend?" Dash asked.

"What about her?" Nightmare asked, not looking at her.

"When is she gonna wake up?" Dash asked, flying to the side of her cell, where she has a clear view of Dashie.

"I don't know. Her body was changing faster than yours, but completely stop." Nightmare explained, as she pressed a few buttons on her wrist, as the lights were turned off and a hologram appeared between them. "This is her body, as you can see, something is changing her DNA, down to every cell."

"What does that mean?" Dash asked, looking at the hologram.

"She's turning into..." stopped Nightmare as she pressed another button on the computer, revealing Dash's body. "You. More "you". She's another version of you, isn't that what you said to me, right?" Nightmare switched to Dash disappearing body in the hologram "Now your..."

"What?" Dash said, confused.

"Your body, along with your cells, are disappearing but it's almost halted to a stop as well." Nightmare explained, pressing a few buttons, showing a different view.

"Is it reversible?" Dash asked, looking at what's left of her legs

"Maybe."

Dash banged on the glass as she got her useless answer. She was getting mad with all the "Maybes" that this crazy batwoman was saying. Nightmare took noticed of this and walked up to her, taking out the shard.
"I believe its my universe causing this? If we can find the shard in my world and send you to another universe, maybe it will undo this?" Nightmare said, holding the shard.

"Do you know how many times you have said "maybe"? It's not helping!" Dash yelled, flying away from glass.

"I know and I'm sorry." Nightmare replied, walking up to the glass.

Dash slowly turned around and looked at her, there was sadness hidden in that neutral face of hers. She never met someone like her, so cold and distant but also a little bit caring, a bit like princess Luna. Maybe there's some hope for her after all. "So, are you going to look for the shard alone?"

"No, I just scanned the shard to make a tracker but the computer can't pick anything from it. You told me the shard starts to glow when another shard is nearby, correct?"

"Yea."

"Then I just need to fly around the world, until it starts glowing."

"Fly? You can fly?"

"No, I'm a normal human after all. But I have this." explained Nightmare as she press another button and the upper part of the cave light up, revealing a bat shaped jet.

"Woah! That's so cool! I would love to fly that!" Dash said, amazed.

The jet lowered it self down with its autopilot as the boosters came to life and opened its cockpit, allowing Nightmare to jump inside and turned on a radio.

"Raven, meet me at Gotthold tallest building, we're going on a mission."

"Roger that boss!" replied a young female voice, which to Dash, sounded like Spike if he was a girl.

"Hold, are you going to leave me alone?"

"No, someone gonna be with you soon, she's a great maid, she'll take care of you."
Nightmare closed the cockpit and the jet flew away, as the lights turn off and it was just the batcomputer and Dash. She was thinking if she should trust this woman but her heart told her to. She sat on the bed and just watched over Dashie, as she was still in pain.

"Hang in there, Dashie, everything will be alright." Dash thought as she kept watching.

After a few hours, Dash could hear a door opening at the top of the stairs and someone was walking down it, until it stop and soon, all the lights turned on, revealing the cave fully and the objects it held, like a giant penny or the playing card with Trixie face on it. The person, wearing a white and black maid uniform, started to walk towards the batcomputer, while carrying a plate with food and drinks. Dash could tell it was Celestia but old and her mane was completely grey. The maid put some apples and more hay and even water on a white plate and walked up to Dash and placed the food in the food slot.

"Thanks." Dash said, looking at the food.

"My pleasure. How is your friend?" the maid asked.

"No change."

"I hope she will be alright."

"So do I."

"If you want to ask me something, I'm right here." the maid said as she walked to a wall and press a button and a seat appeared.

"Well, since your going to be here. What's your name?"

"I'm Cindy Nickle."

"Cindy, where are we exactly?"

"In the batcave, Miss Nightmares home."

"I can tell that but where is the batcave located."

"I can't say, I'm sworn to secrecy."

"I can't blame you. Can you tell me anything about this place?"

"Hmm, Miss Nightmares the owner and leader of the Element league."

"Element League? What's that?"

"They are a group of superheroes, who work together to stop the criminals, like here in the city."

"What kind of criminals?"

"Evil kind."

"Ah okay..."

"Is there something wrong, miss?"

"Yea, are they really heroes or something?"

"Miss, did you just doubt the league?"

"No, no, no. I just wonder, is that all?"

"They are the greatest, they stopped a giant spider last week."

"Okay."

"And they defeated a monster called the Lich, just a month ago."

"Alright."

"They even stop the evil Doctor Discord, by throwing him into the sun."

"I get it. So they are heroes, I'm sorry for doubting them."

"I can understand miss. I will leave you to your meal. If you want something, just tell me."

"Ok, thanks."

Cindy nodded and took out a newspaper and started to read it. Dash flew up to the plate and grabbed an apple and started to eat it. "Applejack would love this, its so sweet." Dash thought, smiling.

"So, is the food good?" Cindy asked.

"Yes, its the best." Dash replied, flying back to her bed.

"I'm glad, that old apple tree was useful after all and Nightmare wanted to cut it down. But I convinced her that apples can be useful." Cindy said.

"She didn't like apples, huh." Dash joked.

"She hated them."

"Well, it's her loss then."

"Yea, you are right."
Dash ate her apple and drank the water, while watching over Dashie. Cindy took noticed and put her paper down and press a switch on the computer, opening both cells. Dash was confused by this but Cindy waved at her to go to her friend side.

"Thank you!" cried Dash as she flew to Cindy and hugged her "Your just as kind as my Cindy."
Cindy patted Dash back and watched as Dash flew to Dashie side and held her hand.

"Sorry if this rude but what are your names?" asked Cindy as she joined Dash.

"Rainbow Dash and she's called Dashiell Reinbold."

Cindy nodded and started to clean the place up, It was peaceful until both heard the roar of the jet. She quickly turned around and saw the batjet, flying down and slowly landing in its spot. Dash quickly flew back in her cell and told Cindy to close it, as she didn't want her to get in trouble. Cindy followed orders and shut it. Just then, Nightmare and a female teenager, wearing all black bird suit, was walking behind her.

"Wow, you wasn't joking about the disappearing pony." said the teenage girl, who's voice was muffled by the mask.

"Of course, Raven. Why would I lie to you."

"I dunno, never thought I'll hear you say "talking pony" in my life."

"Just be quiet, please."

Nightmare walked up to Cindy and spoke about how were Dash and friend doing and so on, before she finally walked ovr to Dash cell and took out the shard. "With Pink Bolt, we searched the whole world and we-" Nightmare was cut off as Dash flew to her and spoke about finding the another shard but Nightmare cut her off as well. "We didn't find anything. The shard never shine once."

Dash face became sad as she slowly hovered to the ground as she thought about what was said to her. Was the shard not on this planet? Maybe there wasn't any shards in the universe? She started to worry until the food slot was opened and the shard fell in front of her and started to glow. She looked up and saw Nightmare touching her chin.

"Just as I thought, the shard will only glow for you and your friend. With it already glowing, it tells me it's in my city. That's why you landed here." Nightmare said.

"Wait, it's here?!" asked Dash, happily.

"Yes, it's here, somewhere." Nightmare said, nodding.

"So, we got to look the whole city?" asked Raven as she walked up to Nightmare.

"I guess we have too, Pink Bolt is dealing with a problem in her city, so she can't help us right now."

"That will take us ages."

"I can help." said Dash

"How?" asked Nightmare.

"I'm the fastest Pegasus in my world. I bet I can find the shard in ten seconds flat."

"That would help."

"Wait, you're not actually thinking of letting her help?" asked Raven.

"Yes."

"But-"

"No buts."

"What?"

"We can discuss this later, now go and help her in the jet, I need to talk to Cindy." ordered Nightmare as she walked back to her maid, who was dusting the penny. "I got a alarm that the cell was opened by the computer. You let her out?" asked Nightmare as she behind her and finally taking her mask off.

"Yes, she was worried for her friend and wanted to stay by her side." Cindy explained, still cleaning.

"..."

"Also, you can trust her, oh by the way, her name is Dash and her friend's name is Dashie."

"..."

"She won't cause any problems...maybe."

"..."

"She was just scared and wants to help her friend. Please give her a chance."

"...fine."

"Thank you, Mistress Brice"

Nightmare nodded as she put her mask back on and returned to the jet, leaving Cindy alone, with a smile.
"It's so weird talking to her, without her mask on." thought Cindy as she continued her work.
Dash was waiting for her as Raven and herself sat on the back chair in the cockpit. She was getting impatient and banged on the glass.

"Are we leaving or what?" Dash yelled, as she hit the glass again.

"Yea, yea, I'm coming." Nightmare replied, annoyed as she opened the hatch and jumped inside.

"Finally." said Dash.

"Can we just go already? It's almost morning and I'm tired." complained Raven.

"Sure, the jet is fully charged and we can search the whole city."

"Cool, lets go already!"

Nightmare pushed a button on her wrist, activating the jet boosters and started to fly up, as the cave ceiling open up and let them out. It was a dark night, but the city was full of bright lights and busy roads. There were also many tall building, like one that has a giant "S" logo, a big "A" building, a clock tower and the highest building had a giant "K" on it.

"Wow, this is a beautiful sight." said Dash, amazed.

"So, are we just gonna sit here and gawk or are we going to find the shard?" complained Raven.

"Raven, can you do me a favor and shut up for once?" Nightmare asked.

"Fine, I'll stay quite, but you'll have to explain things to me when I wake up."

"Sure, just don't make a sound."

Raven nodded and started to yawn as she rested her head on the jet's window. Nightmare shook her head and turned the jet, as the shard started to glow more. "I wonder if that kid is still mad." Nightmare thought, pressing the booster.
As the jet flew through the city, the shard's glow got brighter and brighter. Nightmare pressed another button, revealing a radar, which showed the shards position. She was getting closer, so she flew lower and lower, until she found a empty ally way. She flew the jet and landed it on a nearby roof and shut it off. "The shard should be in this area." Nightmare explained and opened the cockpit.

"Sweet." replied Raven as she got out.

Nightmare did the same and started to walk to the edge, looking over the ally and the nearby buildings, trying to find the shard as Rainbow Dash pointed the shard everywhere.

"Maybe the shard isn't on the streets, maybe it's in one of those buildings." Nightmare said.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's check them out." Dash said.

"Yea, let's check them out." replied Raven.

"Hold on, we need to go about this the smart way, or the shard will end up in the wrong hands." Nightmare said.

"How are we gonna do that, Boss?"

"..."

"Boss, what are you planning?"

"..."

"You know I hate when you're quite."

"..."

"Come on, tell me."

"..."

"Stop ignoring me and just say it."

"..."

"Please."

"..."

"I will follow your orders if you tell me."

"..."

"Don't make me say please again."

"..."

"PLEASE!"

Dash was trying to hold back her laughter as she watch this little back and fourth. Yeah this was Spike but if he was a girl.

"Okay, just stop. I'll tell you."

"Thank god."

"We will break into those buildings and search it with Dash, since the shard only glows for her."

"Roger that boss!"

Dash flew over to the building and waited for the other two as they glided to the building and enter it with her. Unknown to them, inside the building, a craze laughter could be heard as the cameras were watching the group enter the building.
"Little oh bat found my hide out. This is going to be fun!"

end of chapter 4 part 1

ch4 part2

Dash, Nightmare and Raven were slowly walking around the dark room. Dash was holding the shard and looking around for any sign of the shard, while Nightmare was using her mask to detect anything.

"Anything, boss?"

"No, nothing."

"Well, I see some weird things in here."

"Like what?"

"First, the place is filled with a lot of toys and junk and second, a camera."

Nightmare quickly turn and look at the camera, which was pointing at her. She glared at it and started to walk to the camera, before a high pitched voice was heard coming from a speaker.

"Welcome little oh bat and birdy, welcome." the voice said.

"Who are you?" Nightmare asked.

"You mean, you don't know me. That hurts me, little oh bat. Oh wait, I have the wrong settings on." said the voice as the group could hear noises in the background before a female could be heard "Testing testing, is it working?"

Nightmare quickly ready herself as she knows that voice.

"Trickster!" she yelled.

"Trickster, who's that?" asked Dash.

"One of the most dangerous people on the planet." Nightmare explained.

"Oh batty, you always give me too much credit!" laughed the voice.

"Why are you here? I thought you were still locked up."

"I escaped and decided to take a vacation and play with the city a bit. Speaking of the city, you are ruining my plans. I was planning to gas the city with my great and powerful laughing gas!"

"How did you make it?"

"Oh, let's just say a old friend, gave me the recipe and I made the stuff. Now the only thing I need is a good way to spread the gas around."

"Where did you put the gas?"

"In the vents?"

"Where is it?"

"In the basement?"

"..."

"You can get to it through a hidden entrance, by the way." said Trickster as she flipped a switch, revealing a clown door that says hidden door entrance with arrows pointing to it.

"Why did you show me that?" asked Nightmare.

"So you can find the entrance. DUH!"

"..."

Dash was lost for words, it was like those comics that Spike always read. It was like she living it right now. She couldn't believe her luck.

"Oh, by the way bats, when you got yourself a disappearing blue horse?"

"None of your business."

"Oh, so I am right, she is there. Thanks heaven, thought the gas was making me more crazy! HAHAHAHA!"

Suddenly the gas shot through the vents, filling the room.

"Oh no." said Raven.

"Everyone, hold your breaths." ordered Nightmare.

Dash flew down and cover her mouth with her hoof and the three of them held their breath, as they ran to the hidden door. They entered it and door shut itself, as the gas entered the hallway and spread everywhere. The trio held their breaths, as they ran down the hall, avoiding the gas. As they did, the gas slowly filled the building, causing the people outside seeing gas coming out of the broken windows.

"Hey, is that gas?" a random person asked.

"It is, it's the trickster's gas!" a cop yelled as he pulled his gun out.

"What's the gas do?"

"It makes the person laugh so hard, their hearts can't take it and explode."

"Oh my god, everyone evacuate."

As the people screamed and ran away, Nightmare and her crew were in the basement, running down the hallway. She was using her radar to find the room with the gas. As they ran, she found it and the trio ran into it. Inside, there was a big metal container, that had a pipe connected to the vent and a machine, which was pumping the gas into the vent.

"This is the gas." said Nightmare as she looked at the canister.

"How can we stop it?" asked Dash.

"By destroying the machine. If we don't, the gas will spread everywhere and kill everyone in the city."

"What?!" screamed Dash

"What should we do, boss?"

"You'll stay here and cover me, while I'll get rid of the machine."

"Right."

"Wait, I'll come with you." said Dash

"Why?"

"You said you need to get rid of the gas, right?"

"Yes."

"Let me help, I'm the fastest one here."

Nightmare nodded as Dash followed her, as they ran to the machine and Nightmare took a laser pen and cut off the pipes, releasing the gas and then turned her attention to the machine.

"Okay, Dash. Do what you got to do!"

"Got it."

Dash flew up and started to lift the machine, causing sparks to fly and the machine to malfunction as Dash was pulling it off the floor.

"Keep going!"

"Okay!" Dash began to lift the machine above her head and with one strong flap of her wings, she bolted out of the basement and crashing through the ceilings of each floor and finally out of the building and into the gloomy night sky.
"What should I do with it now?" thought Dash as she saw no safe place to throw it but quickly had a idea, as she started to spin it with all her mighty and sending the machine into outer space.

Back in the basement, Nightmare turned on a hologram from her mask and it showed the city in real time and could see Dash tossing the gas into outer space.

"Nice throw, Dash." said Nightmare, smirking.

"Oh boo, that's cheating! Using a pony to stop my plan! I was hoping for more fun!" whined Trickster as her voice was heard over the speaker.

"So, what are we going to do about her?" asked Raven.

"Simple, we find her and take her down like always."

"Oh, that will be fun bats." replied Trickster "Maybe I should-" the voiced stopped as a shadow appeared behind Nightmare and a gun pointing at her "Fun!" smiled Trickster as she fired the gun but Nightmare suddenly vanished as a blue blur grabbed her and Trickster could see Nightmare next to Raven and the blue pony now. Trickster smiled as she held the gun up and water came shooting out as she finally stepped out of the shadows and was wearing a blue tuxedo and her face was white like clown make up and her light blue hair was all messy. "It's been awhile since we met in person." said Trickster, smiling.

"It's has." Nightmare replied, glaring at the crazy woman.

"Now, how should we start this. I could-" Trickster was stopped when a glowing beam shot out of her pocket and Dash shard started to glow as well "Oh, what's happening? My mood rock that I found weeks ago is going off like crazy...LIKE ME!" laughed Trickster as she pulled out a real gun and fired it at Nightmare, who dodged the bullet and threw a batarang at Trickster, who simply ducked as the batarang hit the wall behind her and stuck to it.

"Dash! She has the shard! We nee-" yelled Nightmare as her and others took cover behind some boxes but was cut off as Dash replied to her.

"Okay!" Dash replied and she quickly flew at Trickster

"What! Stop!" ordered Nightmare but it was too late, as Dash tried to punch craze woman but Trickster was able to grab her hoof and smiled as electricity filled Dash's body as she screamed and fell down, as Trickster revealed her hand buzzer.

"Dash!" yelled Raven, as she jumped out of cover and took out a fighting stick and tried to hit Trickster but Trickster moved her head and the fighting stick slammed into the ground.

"Aww, the little birdy wants to play too. Sure!" said Trickster, taking a knife from her pocket and slashed at Raven, who barely blocked the attack with her stick and continued to block Trickster's attack until Trickster tripped her, making Raven fall. Trickster held her knife over her but Nightmare quickly appeared and kicked Trickster, who jumped back, as Nightmare helped Raven up.

"Oh, it's nice of you to join us bats." Trickster giggled as she took a step closer and Nightmare pulled her cape over her body and covered her and Raven, as a cloud of smoke appeared around them. As the smoke filled the room, Dash was picked up by Nightmare and disappeared into the darkness.

"Where are you bats?!" Trickster yelled "and your little bird and horse!"

Nightmare, carrying Dash, and Raven jumped out of the hole that Dash created minutes before and quickly exited the building. Outside the building, the cops and paramedics were checking on the people who close to the building and might have in hale the gas.

"Sir, you have to calm down." said a medic.

"How can I? That gas nearly killed me!" cried a man.

"Well, you're not dead so that's a good sign."

"How is that a good sign? I could have died! I could have been a statistic! I could have-" the man rambled, before a police officer ran up to them and ordering them to move away from the building.

Nightmare put Dash down near the batjet and checked her pulse

"She's alive." she said.

"Is she gonna be okay?" asked Raven.

"Yea, she'll be fine. We should leave her here."

"Leave her?"

"We have a bad guy to catch and if she wakes up, she'll slow us down and get in the way again. Besides, Trickster has the shard we're looking for, she isn't needed anymore." coldly said Nightmare as she took the shard from Dash's hoof and put it in her belt pocket.

"That's kind of a cold thing to say."

"This is not the time to care about the feelings of a random person...pony, Raven. This is the time to focus on catching Trickster."

"Roger that, sir."

Nightmare pressed a button and back in the batcave, Cindy was washing the batcar until it turned on and sped off down the tunnel, leaving Cindy sighing as the water was dripping at nothing.

"Master Brice, always when I'm clearing the car."

Nightmare and Raven waited as the batcar blasted down the street with its rocket engine and finally stopping in the alleyway. The roof opened up and Nightmare, holding Dash, jumped down and placed Dash in the back seat and shut the roof and locked it.

"Let's go buddy."

Nightmare and Raven ran off back into the building to find the Trickster.

Dash opened her eyes found herself in something that looks like the batjet but different. She could see that she was on the ground level now.

"Where am I? How did I get here?" she wondered as she rubbed her head, before realizing "Nightmare, she left me! That jerk, who does she think she is?! She's not the boss of me."

Dash started to think as she remembered the crazy chick had a shard and realizing her own shard was missing.

"Did Nightmare took the shard or did she hid it somewhere?"

Dash started to look for the shard in the car, finding nothing but buttons. Curiosity got the best of her and she pushed the button. She could hear a noise and looked behind her and could see a large cannon coming out of the truck.

"A cannon?!" thought Dash as she pressed another button and the cannon fired, destroying a empty trash can and leaving a huge hole in the wall "Oops."

Dash could see a red light flashing and a sign saying lock down. Dash was worried and saw the door was still locked and quickly moved to the driver's seat.

"Come on, come on." begged Dash as she punch the window, hoping to break it and free herself but the windows were shock proof.

"What's happening?" said Cindy as her face appeared on the screen of the dashboard.

"Hey, lady. Can you unlock the car?" asked Dash.

"I'm sorry, but no one but Master Brice can unlock the car once it goes into lockdown mode."

"I need to get out, that crazy chick has the another shard."

"Crazy chick?"

"Yea, the trickster I think Nightmare called her."

"Oh, that crazy chick. Hold on."

Cindy disappeared as the screen went black, leaving Dash all alone. She placed her face on the streeling wheel and closed her eyes.

"Come on, please come back, please come back, please." she begged.

Meanwhile, Nightmare and Raven were fighting Trickster in the building. Trickster was firing her guns at the two and Nightmare was throwing batarangs at Trickster, as Raven threw a small ball at her. Trickster jumped and the ball exploded, creating a smoke bomb.

"Missed me, bats and birdy." giggled Trickster, as the smoke cleared and the woman was no where in sight.

"Where did she go?" asked Raven.

"Look out!" warned Nightmare as a gun appeared from the ceiling and was aiming at them.

"Oh boy." gulped Raven, as she jumped out of the way and Nightmare grabbed her and rolled out of the way, as the gun fired but missed them.

"Where is she?" asked Raven.

"She could be anywhere." said Nightmare as the two slowly walked back-to-back, keeping their eyes on everything.

"What are we going to do, boss?"

"The only thing we can do."

"Which is?"

"Survive."

Suddenly, Trickster appeared from the ceiling, firing her gun and the two ran, as Trickster's bullets hit the walls and floors. As Nightmare and Raven ran down the hallway, the hallway was being destroyed by the bullets.

"Keep going." ordered Nightmare.

"Got it." said Raven.

Trickster stopped firing, as a giant metal wall started to close and crush the two heroes, if they didn't make it out. As they ran, Nightmare could see the metal wall closing in and the distance between them and the end of the hallway was getting shorter.
"Come on." she thought, as her and Raven kept running, as the wall was coming down behind them. They reached the end of the hallway, as the wall slammed down, almost crushing them.

"That was close." sighed Raven, panting.

"No, this is." smiled Trickster as she pointed her gun at the two heroes and pulled the trigger but nothing came out "Oh no." she whispered, as she checked the gun and realized she was out of ammo.

"Looks like you're out of ammo, trickster." smirked Nightmare.

"Oh no, it's a good thing I have more."

Trickster dropped her empty gun and pulled out a new one, loaded with bullets, and began to fire at them, forcing them to hide. As they did, Nightmare suddenly got a call from Cindy as she answered it.

"Yes?"

"Sir, your little pony friend is causing trouble in the batmobile and placed it in lock down mode and the bat cannon is active. Any reason she's in the car?"

"I'll tell you later. I'm a little busy right now. Bye."

"But wait!" Cindy cried as Nightmare hanged up on her and she could see on the screen that Dash was pressing random buttons, as the car was shaking and head lights going off and on.

"Come on, why won't you work?!" whined Dash as she banged the steering wheel with her hoof.

Cindy sighed as she placed her hand on her head and didn't sign up for this but tilt her head as she heard a weak voice calling out to Dash. Cindy turned around and could see the girl has awaken and was trying to get up.

"What's...going...on?" asked Dashie, weakly.

"Stay still." said Cindy, walking over to her and helped her sit up.

"Where...am I?"

"Your in the batcave."

"Batcave?"

"The headquarters of my master."

"Who's your master?"

"Her name is Nightmare."

Dashie soon could hear Dash in the computer screen and asked what was going.

"It seemed master left her in the car, while she's fighting her archenemy."

"Who is this enemy?"

"Trickster, she's dangerous woman. Now lay back down and I'll get you some food, you been out for weeks."

Dashie was about to do what she was told but she suddenly heard Dash talk again, about how she needed to get that shard that the crazy woman has and how maybe jumping into another universe could stop her from disappearing and make Dashie better.

"Disappear?" Dashie thought, looking down at screen and seeing Dash lower half was gone and that's when it hit her as she remembered what Grape Jelly said to her, about how the universe won't allow two of the same person in the same universe. "Oh no...Quick, I need to talk to this Nightmare person! Please!"

"But you need to rest." argued Cindy.

"This is more important."

Cindy wanted to argue again but decided against it and called Nightmare.

Nightmare and Raven was now fighting Trickster on the roof top and the fight was now getting intense, as Nightmare threw a batarang and cut Trickster's arm.

"Ow!" she yelled, rubbing her wound "I'm going to make you pay for that!"

Trickster ran up to Nightmare and kicked her, sending her flying backwards and into the brick wall. Trickster laughed as Nightmare tried to get up and then punched her, making her fall and Trickster picked her up and threw her to the ground. Nightmare tried to get back up but Trickster punched her again, knocking her out.

"Now, who's next?" asked Trickster, turning to Raven, who was hiding.

Raven quickly fired her grapple hook at a nearby building and flew up, as Trickster shot at her and the bullet missed her.

"Why won't you just die?!" screamed Trickster, as she aimed her gun again but was kicked in the leg as Nightmare wasn't out yet.

"I'm not done." she groaned, punching Trickster and throwing her on the ground.

"You're not the only one who's not done." smiled Trickster as she dropped her gun as she stood up and took out a knife and ran at Nightmare. Nightmare tried to dodge the attack but Trickster was able to get her and stab her in the shoulder.

"Argh." moaned Nightmare as blood came from the wound.

"Nightmare!" cried Raven, as she jumped down and fired a rope from her hand, tying Trickster's feet together.

"What's this?" asked Trickster, cutting the rope and laughing, as she ran at Raven and punched her in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her and threw her across the roof and onto the ground.

"Not so strong now, huh?!" laughed Trickster as she kicked Nightmare and held her over the ledge of the roof, showing the city below.

"Well, I'll see you at the bottom." giggled Trickster, holding her tight as she was ready to drop her, before something happened. She noticed the Batcar was doing weird things. "Hey bats, your car is acting up?" giggled Trickster until the car cannon slowly aimed up and right at them. It fired and hit the floor under them, making them fall into the destroy room. Trickster got up and limped away, while Nightmare took out a spray and blasted her wound with it, until Cindy voice could be heard through the mask radio system.

"Nightmare, the girl has awaken."

"Great, but I'm kind of busy right now. Trickster got away, she's wounded, so she's heading towards the exit. Alert the cops that are outside and have them be ready for her."

"Understood but she really wants to talk to you. Here."

Cindy then told Dashie on the mic to tell Nightmare about the only one person rule for the universe.

"Listen, the universe is trying to get rid of Dash because we're the same person. Someone from the last universe told me this. Its why we switch with whoever is our counter part in this universe. If we jump again, Dash is going to die! You need to keep the shards away from us! If we're close to it, we'll jum-" suddenly Dashie body started to feel hot and in great pain as she held her stomach. Her skin was slowly turning blue. "AHHHH!!!" screamed Dashie, as prism effects were beaming out of her before passing out again.

"What's happening?" asked Nightmare

"I don't know. The girl is glowing, and it looks like she's in pain." said Cindy. "What do I do?"

"Keep an eye on her until I return."

"Okay."

As Cindy ended the call, Trickster was making her way out of the building and could see the police surrounding the place.
"Oh no." she thought, hiding behind a nearby dumpster, as the police were looking for her. She slowly pass her way through the cops and were in the alley way and realize she was in the same alley as the batty car. She walked a corner and could see the car, as it blasted music and jumping up and down. She couldn't stop laughing at the funny sight and walked over, with her knife at the ready but stopped as she knew "she" was behind her. She turned her head and could see Nightmare and Raven the girl wonder as they landed behind her.

"Give it up, Trickster." said Nightmare.

"Yea, you can't get away." added Raven.

"Oh no, I'm so scared."

Trickster charged at Nightmare and was about to slice her, but Nightmare quickly blocked her attacks and knocked the knife out of her hand and kicking her in the chest. Nightmare then held her tight, as Trickster was unable to move, and placed a device on her face, as it shocked her but she just laugh it off.

"Nice buzzer bats!"

Trickster headbutted Nightmare and kicked her off and rolled away as Raven slam her metal pole in the ground were Trickster was. She stood up and blocked Raven pole with her arms and quickly grabbed Raven weapon away from her and smack Raven in the head with it, tossing her to the ground and dazed.

"Raven, get up." ordered Nightmare.

"I'm trying."

Nightmare and Trickster continued their fight, as Trickster was getting the upper hand, since Nightmare was still hurt from the stabbing. As the two were fighting, Trickster got a quick shot at Nightmare and kicked her to the hood of the batcar and using Raven metal staff, started to choke her to death.

In the car, Dash was seeing all this on the screen and was worried.
"Come on, do something. Don't let that lady kill her!" thought Dash as she looked around and press the button to call Cindy again.

"Cindy, you still there?"

"Yes, I am."

"Good, listen, Nightmare is in trouble! Trickster is choking her to death! You need to open this thing or she's going to die!" cried Dash.

Cindy turned on the car's roof camera and could see it was true and quickly uplifted the lock down, opening everything, including the roof of the car, allowing Dash to fly out and up to the air and quickly back down as she swoop near Trickster and grabbing her and flying off back to the air.

"Let me go!" yelled Trickster, kicking and hitting Dash.

"If you say so." said Dash as she took the shard from Trickster's pocket and then dropping her into dumpster near a group of cops.

"There she is." shouted a cop.

"Get her." ordered another.

"Ahh!" screamed Trickster, as the police grabbed her and took her away, as the other cops cheered and celebrated as they waved at Dash, thinking she was Superpony. Dash flew back down and landed next to the batcar and could see the two were tired and bloody. Nightmare sat on the hood of the car.

"Thanks." said Nightmare as she held her hurt shoulder and was bleeding a bit.

"No problem." said Dash, holding the shard she got and looking at her. "Do you have the other shard?"

Nightmare took out the shard from her belt and both shards started to glow but nothing else.

"We need to head back and get out of this universe, so Dashie can get better." said Dash as she flew to get the shard but suddenly felt dizzy and fell on the ground. Nightmare and Raven could see her body was starting to fade again

"What's happening?" asked Dash as she started to flicker between with Dashie body and her own.

"Your friend woke up and told me something, it seems both of you can't be in the same universe and it's trying to erase you. Seems it's trying to do the same with your friend." explained Nightmare as she picked Dash up and placed her in the back seat of the batcar and then telling Raven to go in the batjet and return with it.

"Is she okay?" weakly said Dash as Nightmare got in the car and placed the shards on the passenger seat and started the car.

"No."

"Please...save her."

Nightmare didn't drove off and instead took off her mask and turned her head to Dash, who smiled as she seen that face before in past universe.

"She also told me that, if you two jump again, you'll disappear for good. Maybe this is a passing attack and you two migh-" said Nightmare as she stopped as Dash rose her hoof at her.

"Take me there. Let me save her. She's a good kid, she's me after all." smiled Dash

"You'll die."

"Yeah? As long as she lives, that's what matters."

"What about your family!?" said Nightmare as for once, her cold emotionless face was filled with sadness "Friends? People who love you?"

Dash looked up and through the car window, could see the morning sun peeking its way through the night sky.
"What about hers? She's still young, she has more things to do and finding that girl she loves. I lived a good life and I know the mare I'm looking for, will hate me for this but I'm not letting someone die for me. Please, take me there."

Nightmare looked away and was thinking for a moment and nodded her head, as she drove off, heading for the cave.

"Thank you."

After some time, Nightmare and Dash made it back to the cave and Nightmare got out and saw Raven, with her mask off and revealing her purple dragon skin and green short hair, as she running up to her.

"It's bad, she's getting worst."

Nightmare went inside the batcave and saw Cindy by the batcomputer, with Dashie on the bed, coughing and sweating.

"Her fever is high." said Cindy

Nightmare looked at the shard in her hand and placed it on Dashie bed and returned to the batcar and taking Dash out, who was holding the other shard and carried her to Dashie. That's when reality around the cave started to break down as they got closer to Dashie and the other shard.

"Put me down next to her." ordered Dash as her chest and wings started to vanish.

Nightmare did what she was told and the moment she was put down, both Dash and Dashie started to glow again and the shards glowed and started to hover above them. Dashie opened her eyes and started to cry as she saw Dash and the shards floating.

"Why..." whisper Dashie as tears fell down her face.

"To save you." said teary eyed Dash, as she used the little energy she had to pet Dashie head. The moment they touched, both shards fused and the cave was enveloped by the pillar of rainbow colors and the moment Nightmare and the others opened their eyes, the pillar and both girls were gone.

"They're gone..." whispered Raven as she started to cry.

"What happened?" asked Cindy, as Nightmare walked pass her and sitting in the chair and opening a folder on the batcomputer. "Brice?" called out Cindy but Nightmare ignored her and was working on something.

Soon Cindy took Raven up the stairs and to her room to rest, while Nightmare working on her computer. She was searching for something as she was going over records of comets and she found something. There was a report of a passing Rainbow comet three weeks ago, the same time Flare disappeared. She remembered Flare talking about getting a sample of a comet. She scanned the solar system with the league's space station radar and trying to find the comet but it was no where to be found. She sat back in her chair and look at the picture of the comet. She felt on unease about something.

"Where are you, Flare? I get the feeling something bad is going to happen soon..."

Dashie could see her memories flashing in her mind, as she saw them being played out, meeting Faith when she was getting bullied, going to her first marathon and watching her mother running in it, doing her first run and releasing a sonic rainboom, getting her cutie mark, moving to ponyville, meeting AJ, Rarity and Pinkie, saving the world, taking down gangs and protecting her turf from them, protecting her beloved...

"No...that's not right..." said Dashie as she grabbed her head in pain.

"What's not right?"

"Who's talking?" asked Dashie, looking around her but could only see her memories "Wait, this isn't right...this never happen."

"Of course not."

"Huh?" said Dashie

"That was a different reality. She's trying to change you two. The real you."

"I don't get it. Who are you?" asked Dashie, and then a familiar voice rang out as the memories were replaced with the garden and the big tree from before. Leaning on the tree, was the purple alicorn, as she looked up and waved at her.

"Welcome back!"

"You?" said Dashie in shock and awe as she blushed deeply

"Me." smiled the alicorn.

"Where am I? What's going on?"

"Your home."

"Home?"

"Our home. Our reality."

"That doesn't make sense. My reality isn't here. I need to get home! Back to Equestria! I need to find...her..." said Dashie.

"That was her reality. This is yours. The real one."

"This is mine?"

"Yes."

"Then why can't I remember this? Can't remember her? ...You?"

"She's trying to erase her and make you into "her"."

"Her? Who are you talking about?"

"That pony, that you think is you."

"But I'm a pony. I'm Rainbow B...."

"No, you're not."

"Yes, I am."

The alicorn was quiet for a moment before turning her head to Dashie, with a sad face as the garden started to glitch out with static.

"I'm sorry. She's taking over. She'll erase everything you are and make you into "her" if you allow her plan to work. You two need to remember her name. When you do, you'll return where it all started. Others are there, they're trying to stop her as well but they don't know it yet. You can stop her too. Only "us" can stop it."

"Wait!" cried Dashie as the glitching grew worst. "How do we stop her!?"

"Just remember her name." smiled the alicorn, as the static took over and she was gone, the garden was gone and Dashie could feel herself falling into the prism light. As she fell, the light revealed 3 bodies, her human self, and two pony bodies.

Dashie opened her eyes and could see the bright blue sky above her and the white clouds. She slowly rose up and could see that she was in a flower field and was a bit confused, not remembering the last few minutes.

"Where am I? How did I get here?"

She sat up and held her blue hand in front of face as the sun rays hit hey eyes.

"Am I dreaming?"

She took a moment to let it sink in as she could see airships in the sky. Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice that spoke from the distance.

"You!"

She turned and could see two men wearing red and green knight armor, as they arrived with their horses and pointed their swords at Dashie.

"What did you do with the princess! You blue skin demon!" said the red knight.

"Where's Lady Eirika!" shouted the green knight as he pointed his spear at her.

"Woah, Woah! Slow down! I'm not a demon!" shouted Dashie.

"Lies! Only demons are blue and have different color hair!" yelled the red knight.

Dashie stood up and could see a large group heading towards them, among the large group were wizards, healers, more knights, heavy armor knights, archers, and so on. She saw a female child running up to her and then transforming into a large baby dark blue skin dragon.

"Hi! What's your name!"

"My name?" said Dashie as the two knights moved back as the dragon got closer to her

"What are you?" asked the red knight as he looked at the weird get up that Dashie was wearing

"Your skin! Are you a dragon too!?" said the dragon, as she sniffed and licked Dashie. "Oh! You taste like a candy!" smiled the dragon.

"Kuu, don't go licking strangers!" said a black mage, who's wearing purple robe and hat and has long purple hair as she walked up to the group "May we have your name?"

Dashie pointed her thumb at herself and smiled

"Rainbow. Rainbow Dashiell!"

end of chapter 4 part 2

"Rainbow Dashiell." smiled the black mage, as she put her hand out for a handshake "My name Is Twila Sparkflow, a black mage in training."

"Twila?" said Dashie, as she felt she seen this girl before. The feeling she knows her was creeping up in her mind and she didn't like it.

"I see you met the Divined Moon dragon, Kuu. Forgive her, she's a bit naive and hyperactive...little weird with the licking." said Twila as she gave a soft smile, which made Dashie feel funny. "May I ask where you're from?"

"Oh, umm." said Dashie as she had trouble coming up with an answer and she didn't know why, like she was lost in her beauty. "I'm from...umm.."

"From where exactly?"

"I'm from-" but before she could finish, a weird black aura filled the area, making everyone look behind her. Dashie looked too and could see a burned man, with a open wound on his stomach as he was casting a dark magical spell.

"Ah! It's that monster again!" screamed Kuu.

"He's alive!?" shouted a female thief with full covered mask and hood, as she took out her daggers

"What's going on?" asked Dashie

"This cult leader transformed into a monster and teleported away with our leader. We were tracking them, then we saw the light and thought she won but..." answered Twila as she took out a tome and was ready for a battle.

"I will take back what was promised to me!" said the burned cult leader as the dark aura spread out more and a dark circle was created in front of him.

"He's going to open a portal! Everyone, ready for battle!" said a female Pegasus knight as she ready her sword but Dashie noticed the knight was missing a arm.

"Wait, that's not a portal!" realized Twila as she quickly used her tome to create a counter spell but the cult leader was faster and created a large ball of darkness and started to suck in the group with great force.

"Damn it! Everyone, grab hold of each other!" yelled the big red knight.

"No! I can stop it!" said Twila as she grabbed her book bag and looked for something, until she found it. It was a glowing purple horn. She tried to use it but couldn't right away as the suction pulled her off the ground and was being pulled into the orb.

Everyone was screaming for Twila as she was flying away but Dashie quickly dashed to her and grabbed her hand and with all her might, she tried to pull her back.

"Hold on!"

"My lady! The horn!" shouted the one armed Pegasus knight as she grabbed Dashie by her jacket collar and pulled them. But she too started to get suck in.

"Hold on!" yelled a small female axe fighter as she grabbed the light grayish heliotrope horse tail. She was soon joined by the big beefy red knight, the thief from before, a pink haired white mage, a light green armor female knight and finally Kuu as she grabbed everyone and was trying to fly away but couldn't.

"No, Kuu! Everyone!" shouted the green male knight as he and the remaining group watched in horror as their friends vanished into the black void. As they were gone, the spell ended and the burned man laughed as he turned to black dust.

Dashie could hear screaming within the darkness as they all fell within the void and could feel a strong gust of air as it hit her face. It was so black, that she couldn't see anything. Soon the screams of the others vanished and Dashie realized she was alone...or was she? She could see a purple light in the darkness and started to move towards it. As she got closer, she could see the outline of the black mage, as she was chanting something and had the horn near her forehead and was glowing.

"Twila!?"

Twila could hear a faint voice behind her and turned her head towards it, to see Dashie but only for them to headbutt each other. Both girls screamed in pain and could feel blood coming from their foreheads and falling on each other as they fell together in the darkness.

"Ugh, my head." groaned Twila, as she wiped her forehead and could see a bit of blood.

"I'M SORRY SORRY!" cried Dashie as she tried to wipe the blood with her sleeve but everything went dark again, as the purple light disappeared. Both noticed that the horn was drop and disappeared behind them.

"The horn thingy!"

"No!" cried Twila, as the wind picked up once more.

Soon, the darkness faded and they could see a old ruined kingdom within the void and they were going to go spat on the brick streets below. Twila grabbed Dashie by her waist and started to scream.

"Help us! Where are you Eirika?!"

As they were going to make impact, Dashie could feel something as she held Twila in her arms. She remember something, a fading memory. A girl falling off a roof as Dashie tried to reach out to save her. She looked down at her and felt a sense of deja vu.

"Not this time." whispered Dashie.

She used the strength she had to turn herself around and Dashie's back was facing the ground. She could see the fear in Twila's eyes as the wind was rushing against her face. She closed her eyes and grabbed onto Dashie chest and repeating "I'm sorry".

"It's okay..."

"Huh?"

"You'll be okay. I'll protect you. Just like I promised, Twil-." said Dashie, as the bricks were getting closer and Dashie closed her eyes and waited for impact.

"Huh? Wh-" said Twila, but her voice was cut off as they landed on the bricks and a rainbow explosion of light engulfed the smoke cloud and a crater was created.

Soon the smoke faded and there was blue feathers around the girls as they lay in the crater. Twila looked around and could see Dashie was hurt and unconscious as she was bleeding.

"We...landed?" said Twila, as she was a bit shocked that they landed and alive. "Thank you, I'm not sure how that happen but thank you."

But Dashie didn't respond and was breathing heavy, as her breathing was becoming more labored.

"No...you're going to be fine. It's not that bad. Please don't die!" cried Twila, as tears fell and was trying her best to stop the bleeding with her cloak. She took a deep breath and placed her head on her chest. "Eirika! What will Eirika do!?"

That what was the last thing that Dashie heard as she closed her eyes, as her blur vision could see a white moon getting closer to them...

Dashie slowly opened her eyes, and could see a white ceiling above her and could hear someone talking nearby. She blinked a few times and could hear the voices a bit clearer, and could see two women sitting down in a chair nearby. She slowly raised her body and could see it was her mother and a girl, the same girl she was seeing before but like always, her face was covered in prism colors. She tried to sit up, but could feel the pain and fell back down.

"Honey! Stay down!" said her mother as she could feel her mom's hands on her shoulders.

"What...happened?" asked Dashie as she touched her bandage head.

"You've been out for days. We were worried that you had brain damage or something, but thankfully that wasn't the case. You were hurt really badly."

"Oh...right..." said Dashie as her memory was a bit foggy, the last thing she remembered was saving someone...this girl?

"How are you feeling, honey?"

"Fine, mom. My head hurts but I'm fine."

"Good." said her mother. "Do you remember the fall?"

"I was in an accident?"

"Yes. The doctors said it was a miracle that you were only hurt and not dead."

"Wait, where's the girl I was with?"

"What?"

"There was a girl with me, a black haired girl. She was bleeding."

The girl quickly went to her side and placed her face on Dashie shoulder and crying.

"I'm fine!" said the girl.

"Who..." whispered Dashie as her head started to hurt, as flashes of her memory filled her mind. She was on the roof of house, she was helping her dad with fixing it. The girl came over and went up to Dashie room, as she was speaking to her about something.

"Anyone thirsty? I can get some drinks." said her dad as he put down his tool and turned to the girls "What about you?"

"Oh, I'm fine sir." said the girl, as she waved her hand and was sitting on Dashie bed, as Dashie was cleaning her window from the work they were doing

"What about you, kiddo?"

"Hmm, just water dad."

"Alright, be right back."

As her dad got down on the ladder and entered the house, Dashie could feel her hands touching the wet rag and a weird sensation. She looked at her hands and could see they were changing into blue fur.

"W-What's happening?" said Dashie, as her hands turned back into flesh.

"Are you okay, Dashie?" asked the girl, as she noticed something was up.

"Yeah, it's nothing." said Dashie, as she went back to cleaning the area around the window.

"Dashie, need help out there with the cleaning?" asked the girl as she poke her head out of the window

"No, no, it's okay."

"Come on, Dashie. It's not a big deal."

"I know, but you're my guest. I'll do it. Just relax and enjoy this hard working girl in her element!" replied Dashie as she flex her muscles.

"Pffft, sure."

"Seriously, I'll clean it. You go and relax or something."

"I'm helping!" said the girl, as she stepped on to the roof through the window and moved next to Dashie and could see that the sun was blasting the roof.

"Okay, just be careful. We'll clean it together then."

"Sure." smiled the girl.

As the sun rays hit the girl's face, Dashie could see the girl skin was purple a few seconds, until returned to normal.

"Are you okay?" asked Dashie.

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"It's nothing."

Dashie could see the sun was getting hotter as she felt her body sweating more. She was about to take her hat off when she noticed the girl was about to step on the nail.

"Wait! There's a-."

"Ahh!"

"Look out!"

The girl was able to move back but stepped on a wet rag and fell. Everything went slow for Dashie as she could see the girl was about to fall off the roof, and tried her best to grab her arm, but couldn't. Dashie acted on her feet and jumped off and quickly grabbed her and Dashie spun her body around. She was gonna use her own body to break the fall for the girl. The girl closed her eyes and could feel Dashie arms around her body. Dashie was scared and didn't know what to expect but felt the warmth of the sun as it covered them and she could feel the hot driveway on her back and nothingness.

"Dashie!"

"Huh?" said Dashie, as she was brought back to reality and was confused by what just happened.

"Are you okay?!"

"I'm fine...wait." said Dashie, as she tried to get up but could feel a sharp pain and her head felt like it was spinning. Everything started to glitch out and suddenly things were different as she was still in the bed but her skin was blue again and everyone in the room was gone.

"Hi, Rainbow Dash!"

Dashie looked to the door and saw the girl from before but her skin was purple, as she was holding a board game.

"Uhhh."

"I brought your favorite board game! I know how much you like to win."

"Win...board games?" said Dashie. "W-Who are you?"

"It's me, -static-."

"What was that..." said Dashie, as she couldn't hear the name.

"It's me, -static-."

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you."

"It's me, -stronger static-".

"What? Who are you?!" asked Dashie as her head was screaming with pain, but couldn't hear the name again.

"It's me, -really loud static-!"

"AHHH!" yelled Dashie, as she held her head in pain and could feel the pain going away as she felt a hand on her leg. She looked down and saw her crying, as she looked hurt.

"Dashie...why can't you remember who I am..." asked the girl, as tears fell from her prism covered face

"I'm sorry." said Dashie, as her voice was cracking up and tears fell down her face. Her heart was breaking. This girl was her world, her everything. But she couldn't remember anything.

"It's me, -faint static-."

"Please tell me. Who are you? I'm trying. I'm trying to remember you. Tell me."

"It's me, T-."

Everything glitched out and Dashie was back at the garden.

"Who's after you!? What does she wants from you?" cried the purple alicorn, as she held Dashie, who was bleeding from chest wounds, close to her chest.

"What?"

"What is the name of the pony that did this to you!?"

"I-."

"Please...tell me! Why do you keep things to yourself?"

"I'm not-."

"Why can't you tell me Rainbow!?"

"I don't...know..." said Dashie as she found herself back on the roof top, looking at the setting sun, as it was in the middle of five rainboom halos. The town she lived in was on fire, everything was burning as far as the eye can see.

"What is happening..."

"Dashie."

Dashie could hear a different voice but her body didn't want to move, just keep watching the sun set.

"Remember her. Remember her. Please...please."

"Her..."

"Dashie, please."

"I'm trying..."

"We're running out of time. Everything gonna run out of time."

"Running...out of time?"

"Time...you're running out of time. Dashie. I'm begging you. We promised her. Please."

"Who are you?" asked Dashie, as she felt the tears fall down her face.

"You know who I am."

Tears kept falling as she watched the sun increasing in size and engulfing the whole world in endless flames.

Dashie could feel something warm on her body. She opened her eyes and can see Kuu, in her dragon form as she was on top of her and with her tongue out. Both girls stared at each other until Kuu did a big lick on her face, leaving it all wet.

"Ku-kuu!"

"Ew." said Dashie, as she wiped her face and could see she was next to a camp fire and sitting not too far away from them, was Twila. She was laughing at the funny sight as she watched Kuu trying to lick her again. Dashie was happy that Twila was safe, but her memories were a bit foggy, the last thing she could remember was that they landed on the brick ground.

"Hey, how am not dead?" said Dashie.

"To be honest, I have no idea how we survived the fall but you were badly hurt but lucky for us, Kuu was behind us and healed you." explained Twila as she petted Kuu side.

"Thanks for saving me but my next question is, where are we?"

"We're still in the Fallen City of the void."

"What?"

"A city that fell to the demon dragon in the first war. There was a curse placed on it, to drag anyone into it and never getting out."

"O-Oh." whispered Dashie, with little clue in what she was talking about. "So, there's no way in escaping this place?"

"There was but I lost the Horn of Spark Magic."

"Oh, that purple horn... that I made you drop when I bump into you. Sorry about that!" blushed Dashie as she bowed
and repeated sorry to her.

"It's not your fault. It's mine. I should've paid more attention."

"No, it was my fault."

"No, it's not. I'm the one who is responsible for everything."

The two kept saying it was their fault, which made Kuu raspberry their pointless back and fourth argument.

"Kuu wanna keep licking candy girl!" happily shouted Kuu as she tried to lick Dashie again, but she wasn't quick enough and Dash was able to avoid her.

"Kuu! Stop it." yelled Twila as she bop Kuu with her staff "Sorry about her. She's not like this when Eirika is around."

"Eirika tastes like cotton candy!" cheered Kuu as she returned in her human form and running around the two.

That name again, who is that?"

"Princess Eirika is the future Queen of Equestira. She's the commander of our small group. By the way, have you seen her? She headed to that area where we found you and that cult leader, who we fought a few times before." asked the mage as she sat down and put Kuu on her lap.

"...she's missing? Hey does she have a rainbow hair like mine?"

"No, just normal blue hair but her Pegasus has colorful mane. Now I look at you better, you look like Aero?"

"Aero?"

"Her horse."

"...I see. Hey, this is gonna be weird but let me explain why I'm here." said Dashie as she started to tell her story.

After the long talk, Dashie waited for Twila and Kuu reactions as she sat there, worried.

"I see, your from another world! So the different worlds theory was real! Amazing!" smiled Twila as she got up and her hands on her shoulders "Tell me! Is there magic in your world!"

"Is there more candy looking people!" chimed in Kuu, who was in her human form, as she started to drool, which made Dashie worry a tiny bit.

"Magic, well not really...I think...but we do have a lot of technology, and candy looking people, uh, not really but there are a lot of weird and interesting looking people. My world is very different from yours."

"Wow, a world with this "technology", what would that look like? Oh, how can I get to your world?" asked Twila, as she started to shake her.

"Uhh."

"I wanna visit the candy people!"

"Uhh."

"Kuu, calm down. We have to help Dashie first, then we can explore her world."

"That doesn't how it works sadly. When I find the shard, only myself is teleported away, but least Eirika will return to this world."

"That's true. That means she'll be stuck in your world if we don't find this Rainbow shard. I'm not sure what will happen to her."

"That's right..." said Dashie. "But, if you can help me, I'll try my best in helping you back. If we survived our fall, the others must of had. I'll help you find them."

"Sounds like a deal. Come on, Kuu." said Twila, as she held out her hand and grabbed Dashie hand. "We can also search for the horn and escape this place."

"Okay, let's do this."

The trio walked away from the camp sit and gone deeper into the dark dead city. The night sky was pitch black as there was no stars or a moon. The three kept their guard up as they entered into a dark alleyway.

"This alleyway is too narrow." said Twila, as she noticed how small the alley was.

"Do you want to walk through?" asked Dashie.

"No, let's keep going."

They went forward and could see the dead end.

"A dead end." sighed Dashie.

"Not really. This looks like a door." said Twila, as she inspected a brick wall. "It looks like it's been sealed off by magic."

"What's this." asked Dashie, as she could see some symbols on the door.

"These are ancient symbols, it's says. The path will only open, if a curse one reveals their markings and accepts another marking to their flesh."

"Cursed?"

"It's not a surprise a doorway has this. After all, it is the fallen city of the void. Anything can happen in the darkness that was cast by the demon dragon."

"Right, so what's that mean for us?"

"It's asking for the cursed one. I have a solution to this."

"How?"

"You'll see." said Twila, as she started to take her robe off.

"Wait, what are you doing!" panicked Dashie, as her face was red from seeing Twila taking off her clothes, until she saw a white bra, with a blue and yellow ribbon around the neck, and matching white panties. She was stunned by the sight of her, she could see Twila was more fit than what was believed and a had a bit "more" down "there". But she noticed markings around her body.

"I'm the key." said Twila, as she showed her markings

"Uhh, why? And why are you undressing yourself?!"

"Because the answer is my curse, silly. The symbol of the cursed one are these runes, and it can only be held by the cursed ones like myself." explained Twila.

"O-Okay...but why are you stripping yourself?"

"You don't know, right your not from this world. A curse is like a living disease, as it can be spread through physical contact and by touching another curse item. I need to touch the brick wall and take the curse for myself.

"Ahhh! That means we won't be cursed, as the curse will see your body and only target you?!"

"That's correct."

"Wait, why are you cursed?" asked Dashie, as Kuu went behind her back as she noticed something moving under Dashie jacket.

"Let's just say I did something that I shouldn't have and now I'm paying for it. I'm a bad person and deserves this."

"What was it?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"But."

"It's fine. Here take this." said Twila, as she handed her clothes, bag and staff. Soon her underwear.

"W-Wait." shutter Dashie as she turned around and beaming red.

"Hmm?"

"Are you okay with being like "this"?" asked Dashie as she started to feel something inside.

"Yes."

"I see. Just making sure."

"Let's go." said Twila, as she approached the door.

She placed her hand on the brick wall, making it glow black as the runes slowly creep up her hand and slowly on to her body. Leaving a new set of runes on her back. The path was opened now, that she turned to Dashie for her stuff back.

"Come, let's keep going."

The three walked through the brick door, which revealed a small pathway. The brick walls were tall and close together, making it impossible to see what was up above. They reached the end of the path, revealing a dark hallway, that was pitch black. The three entered it and walked further in, until a few torches came to life.

"Woah."

The trio noticed the hallway wasn't that long, but there was something weird about it. They kept walking forward and could see a room up ahead. The room looked old and empty. Once they reached the room, it was a big circular room. There was nothing but the floor, as the walls had nothing on them.

"We're in a room?"

"That's strange. There should be a door, but I can't see any doors or windows." said Twila, as she could see the wall had nothing but brick, and even the ceiling had nothing but the same bricks.

"Dead end?"

"Hmm, maybe not. Let's around."

The three walked further in, hoping to find a way out. Dashie walked around the room, looking up and down, searching for a way out, as Twila was using her magic to try and detect a way out, while Kuu was skipping in front of her.

"Nothing here." said Dashie.

"Hmm...let's see. There has to be something here." said Twila, as she stopped looking around the room.

"Is there?"

"Let's take a rest. My mana is a bit low." said Twila, as she sat down, leaning against the wall.

"Good idea." said Dashie, as she too took a seat next to her, while Kuu started to play with herself as she hop around the place.

"So, do you have any family and friends back home?" asked Twila as she took out a mana potion from her bag.

"Well, I do have a family, just parents though, no sisters and brothers." said Dashie.

"You're an only child?"

"Yep, just me and my folks. And friends, well, I do have group of great friends...and there's one person but..." said Dashie, as the memories were still foggy, she knew that something was missing.

"Someone, important to you?"

"I believe so...she's my everything..."

"Sounds like you love her." smiled Twila.

"I'm pretty sure I do...I can't just remember her name, or who she is..."

"You don't remember her name or who she is?"

"Yeah...it's sad. It sometimes it breaks my heart, you know? I have these memories of her and what we did but I just don't remember those events at all. Sometimes, I can feel her presence, like she's right here with me." said Dashie as she turned to Twila and look deep into her eyes. "Other times, it feels like she's miles away, and I can't reach her. It's frustrating."

"I can see that..." frown Twila as she could see how much she was suffering

"It's like...we had something between us, but now, it's all gone. Everything, just faded away." said Dashie as a tear came down her cheek.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay. You're gonna find her, I promise." said Twila, as she gave Dashie a small smile, while she wiped the tears from her face.

"Thanks." said Dashie as she smiled back.

"It's gonna be fine. You'll remember everything one day."

"You think so?"

"I know so." said Twila, as she gently grabbed Dashie's hand and held it. "Now, let's get out of here."

The two stood up, letting go of each other's hand but Dashie didn't want to let go for some reason. She looked at Twila and felt something as she looked at her. Now she remembers, she had these feelings when meeting other girls with the same hair style. Why was that? She wanted to know, but she was confused.

"Hey, Twila, there's something hidden on the floor." pointed Kuu as she kicked a brick and could see something under it.

"Let's take a look." said Twila, as she and Dashie moved the bricks and found a large hole with a grill cover, almost the size as Kuu in her dragon form.

"Is that a hole?" asked Dashie, as Twila pulled the grill off and took out a stick from her bag and threw it down.

"Let's see."

"It's deep."

"Really deep. It must lead to a room below us." said Twila as she pulled out a glowing stone and tossed it down. "Let's see."

The light slowly faded away and they could hardly see something down below.

"Looks like a room indeed." said Twila.

"Should we check it out?"

"Yes. Kuu, can you carry us down there?"

"Okay!" said Kuu as she shifted into her dragon form.

Dashie took notice of the dragon, as Kuu was the size of a large bear but looking almost like a horse, and her scales were dark blue. She had one long horn that curve upward from her forehead and her tail was thick and long. She was a very beautiful dragon.

"Ready!" smiled Kuu as she lowered herself down on the ground, allowing the girls to get on. As they got on, Kuu jumped down the hole and slowly flapped down as she used her horn to light up the hole. The three slowly descended, and the deeper they got, the bigger the hole was getting, until they reached the bottom.

"We're here." said Kuu, as she lowered herself to the ground.

"Wow." said Dashie as the three got off and looked at Kuu and fully took in there was a dragon in front of her "You're amazing Kuu."

"Ehehe. Thanks." smiled Kuu as she returned to her human form.

"What is this place?" asked Twila, as the three took a look around.

"A library?" asked Dashie.

The three took a quick look around the place and saw it was indeed a library, with many books and papers laying around. They could see shelves lined up against the walls or fallen, dozens of books everywhere about. There were also tables scattered throughout the room, and several desks placed on the door, like it was used to keep something from coming in. The walls were made of stone, and the floors were covered with wooden planks. There was no source of light, other than the light that was coming from Kuu horn. This place was giving off a eerie feeling.

"It seems this was a secret chamber, or someone's study." said Twila.

"Why are the books all over the place?"

"They might've been thrown around during a fight." explained Twila as she picked a random book and noticed claw markings. "It's looks like something attack in here. It might explain the desks that are blocking the door. Looks like they chased it outside before blocking the doorway."

"Who will be so mean and hurt all these books!?" cried Kuu

"Maybe a beast? Or a demon. But that's just a guess. To be honest, now I think about it, why haven't we seen any monsters? I heard the Fallen City had monsters before being sealed away in the void."

"That's a good question." said Dashie, as the group was still on edge as the atmosphere was getting worse. Kuu ran up to the block off door and could see the outside through a tiny broken hole. She looked around and could see a large courtyard.

"It's looks safe outside. Nothing out there." said Kuu.

"Good." said Twila. "Come on, let's leave this place. I'm having a bad feeling about this place. We better get going."

"Okay."

The three approached the door, pushing the desks out the way, and stepped outside, taking in a fresh breath of air.

"Much better."

Suddenly, they all heard something as they looked around. They were still standing in the courtyard, surrounded by crumbling buildings and the starless sky. The wind blew and whistled, making the atmosphere more eerie. The sound came from behind the group, who were slowly look around and saw a very large monster, as it hanged on the tower wall.

"Shit! Monster!" said Dashie.

"Get ready, everyone. Stay close and be careful." said Twila, as the three readied themselves.

"It's coming!" said Kuu, as the large creature jumped from the tower, and landed on the ground with a loud thud. It looked like a giant lizard, but it had many arms, each armed with sharp claws. Its face had many mouths and eyes, with a long tongue hanging out of one of the mouths. It roared, and the three could feel the vibrations in their chests.

"It's a mutated creature!"

"A what?"

"It's a mutated creature. Something that has mutated over the years and now have turned into something else. They are very dangerous, since they're created through the curse that is in the city. It has a very high chance of being a demon or a fiend."

"It's a fiend. I can tell." said Kuu, as she was able to identify the monster, as the fiend got up from the ground and started to run towards the group.

"Let's deal with it. Dashie, stay behind me and be ready to move."

"Understood."

The fiend charged at the group, but it was quickly intercepted by smoke bombs. The girls looked where the bombs came from as they could see a flying Pegasus and its rider, along with two others.

The one who threw the bombs jumped from the flying horse and landed on the monster's back and stabbed it with her daggers. She was wearing a black hood, and her cloak flapped behind her as she slashed at the creature. The monster roared in pain and tried to get the girl off, but it was too late as the Pegasus came swooping down and allowing the thief grab on and escape. The horse flew towards Dashie and the others and landed. The group could see the thief and knight were arguing with each other as the thief and white mage jumped off the horse.

"What the hell is your problem, Vaida?! You were suppose to wait until I gave the signal!" yelled the knight.

"Your too slow, Isadora. They our needed help." replied Vaida as she faced Isadora.

"I'll show you." said Vaida as she pointed her blade at her.

"Oh yeah? Bring it one arm knight!"

"Girls, please stop. We are in a middle of a fight." said the white mage as she got between the two

"I'm sorry Flora. We will settle this later, you dishonorable thief! Twila, are you and Kuu alright?"

"Yes, we're fine." said Twila, as her and the others ready them selves for the coming fight.

"Let's finish it then."

The monster stood up and shook off the blood from its wounds. It roared and ran towards the group. It was faster than expected, but the knight ordered her Pegasus to jump into the air and blocked its attack with its body. The Pegasus was pushing the monster back and away from the others, allowing the thief to sneak behind it and stabbing its legs. It howled and fell to the ground, unable to stand. The Pegasus jumped back, and the knight charged at the creature, stabbing it in the face with her sword.

"We almost have it! Everyone attack!" ordered Isadora as she pulled out the blade from the monster bleeding face.

The others joined her and attacked the fiend. Kuu charged up her mana and unleashed a powerful black lightning strike, followed by a barrage of fireballs from Twila. The monster was engulfed in flames and electricity, causing it to cry in pain and anger. It tried to swat them away, but its attacks were easily dodged. The two girls kept their distance, as they continued their assault. Dashie wanted to help but she was no fighter and had no weapon to use, she could only watch with the white mage, as she was staying behind but readying to use a heal magic if someone got hurt.
The battle raged on, but the fiend was growing weak. It was on its last leg and could barely stand. Isadora, Vaida and Kuu charged at the fiend, while Twila took out her tome and dark green energy started to appear around her. She unleashed a powerful blast of magical wind energy and struck the monster head-on. The air explosion sent the three girls flying back, but they were fine as they watch the head of the monster sliding off its neck and onto the ground, dead on the spot. The white mage was healing Kuu and the others, while Twila was checking up on Dashie.

"Wow! That was so cool!" said Dashie.

"Thanks. How are you doing?" asked Twila.

"Fine, just I could had done something." admitted Dashie as she watched the group checking on the monster and confirming it was dead.

"Don't worry, not everyone is fighter. Not a lot of people are, and that's fine."

"I know, but...it just I don't like being useless."

"You're not useless. You're a person who is helping us. Everyone has their roles and everyone has their place. You have your place and that's helping me find the others and the horn." smiled Twila, as she gently took hold of Dashie's hand, which caused Dashie's heart to beat faster.

"Twila!" said the knight, as she and the other returned to the group. "Are you okay? We feared the worst as you didn't unleash the magical disable spell from the Horn of Spark. You had us worried sick."

"Sorry, but I lost the horn mid flight but Dashie here saved me. We were searching for it with her help." explained Twila, as went on to explain Dashie story and how she got here.

"Is that true?"

"Y-yes." said Dashie nervously.

"Well then, my apologies." said Isadora as she bowed to her "We thought you were a blue skin demon but saving and helping Twila, who is a stranger to you as you came from another world. Such great loyalty and kindness, you are no demon. Forgive us for judging you by your skin. If you could, could you keep joining us in finding the horn?"

"Sure." said Dashie.

"Very well." smiled Isadora.

"I don't know, I still don't trust her. Still odd that she was there, while Eirika was nowhere to be seen and that cult asshole still being alive." said Vaida in the most cold tone as she cross her arms.

"Vaida, I'm sure she's a fine person. You can trust her, can't you?" softy said Flora

"We can't trust her fully until we get to know her better. We can't take any risks, not now. We're very close in ending the demon dragon life and saving the land. I will not let anything or anyone stop us." said Vaida, as her tone changed into a serious one, looking very menacing and intimidating, making Flora shrug back in fear as she pulled down her white hood.

"Vaida!" shouted Isadora as she was finally done with her shit but her horse stepped between the two "Starlight? What is it?"

"Something's not right." said the white mage, Flora, as she looked around. "We should go. I don't want to fight any more."

"She's right." said the knight, as she could hear a very soft sound. "Starlight, go search for the others."

The horse nodded, opened her wings and took off into the sky and flew off to a random direction.

"What's going on?" asked Dashie as she joined them as they hurry out of the courtyard and into the building that connected to it.

"Dashie, can't you hear something?" asked Twila.

"Not really. Why?"

"There's something wrong." said Kuu, as her ears were twitching and she was looking around, her eyes were glowing dark blue. "It's faint, but I can hear growling. They're coming."

"What's coming?"

"Monsters." said Vaida as she was taking point and ninja running. "They must've sense the death of the fiend and are now coming after us."

"That's not good. How many of them?" asked Dashie

The group soon found themselves in a open windowless hallway bridge, they all stopped as they saw it. Outside on nearby buildings, were almost a sea of monsters, as their red eyes glow with evil. They were all types of monster. From zombies, skeletons, ghouls, goblins, orcs, ogres, wolves, lizards, and other unidentified monsters. It was an army, an horde one can say. They were crawling and moving towards the group, as the building started to shake from the amount of monsters were starting to fill up.

"Does that answer your question, Blue?"

"This isn't good." said Dashie, as they all could see the monsters were coming.

"We need to leave, fast." said the white mage.

"We'll have to make a run for it. Dashie, Twila, and Flora, follow me. Vaida and Kuu, take the rear and hold off the horde." ordered Isadora.

"Understood." said Vaida as she was about to turn her back but stopped and was hesitant "Be careful, everyone. Don't die, I don't want a repeat."

"We won't, Vaida. Same to you, my dishonorable friend. See you soon." smiled Isadora.

"Yeah, whatever miss One arm. Come on, Dragon." said Vaida as they took up their position and waited for the horde to come up the building they were on.

"Come on, girls. Stay close." said Isadora as they quickly made a break for it.

"Why did we leave them alone!?" yelled Dashie as was keeping up with the group with ease.

"Kuu is a divined dragon, she can hold her own in a battle like that and Vaida is very skilled in horde battles. She won't be killed easy. They'll catch up later after we find a safe spot." explained Twila

Dashie was following the three, while she looked back and saw Kuu shooting her breath attacks from the top of the building, holding off the horde. As they were running, a group of the creatures tried to cut them off, but Isadora was able to deal with them before they could stop them. However, the monsters were not letting up and were now starting to catch up with them.

"They're getting closer. What are we going to do?!" asked Flora, as she could hear the growls and screams of the monsters, who were now running down the hallway towards the group.

"Don't worry. We have this handled." said Isadora, as the four reached a door.
The knight opened the door and allowed the three to go in first, before going in and shutting the door. The group found themselves in a large room, with several pillars and a huge hole on the floor.

"Isadora, where are we?" asked Dashie.

"Some kind of warehouse, I think." answered the knight, as she looked around. "There's a door on the other side of the room. Let's go."

The group made their way across the room, but they were soon stopped as a giant armor hand came out of the hole. It pulled it self up and stand there was a large knight as smoke was coming out of the cracks of it's armor.

"What the hell is that?!" screamed Dashie.

"An undead titan knight." replied Isadora.

"A what?"

"It's an undead monster, created by the curse."

"How do we kill it?"

"It's not strong, but it's big and armored." said the knight.

"I can take care of it." said Flora, as her hands started to glow white.

"What are you going to do?" asked Dashie as she could a white aura around Flora

"I'm going to make it weak."

The knight nodded and ordered the others to back up, as Flora stood her ground and raised her hands. A magic circle appeared below the titan, as it started to glow.

"Let's hope this works." said Flora, as the light was getting brighter.

"What's going on?!" asked Dashie, as the room was becoming blinded with light.

"Her magic is draining its strength."

The knight's words were soon proven right, as the light faded and the titan knight was weakened. It's body was now fragile and was having a hard time standing, and soon fell backwards and crashed onto the ground, as the shock wave caused the building to shake.

"It's all yours, Isadora." said Flora, as she lowered her hands.

"With pleasure. Stay here, I'll be back." said the knight, as she raised her sword.

The knight ran towards the titan, as the others stayed back. She jumped up into the air and landed on the chest of the titan. With a single blow, the armor shattered and the body was revealed. It was a skeleton wearing a full body suit of black armor than a undead zombie. The knight was about to finish it, but the skeleton had other ideas and pushed the knight off it and threw her across the room. The knight's body was sent crashing into a pillar and fell to the ground.

"Isadora!" shouted Twila, as she rushed over to the knight.

"I'm okay. I can still fight." said the knight, as she struggled to stand up.

"No, your hurt, I'll deal with this." said Twila as she stood in front of her friend and rose her staff up in the air and a green energy circle appeared.

"Be careful, Twila. It's a skeleton, which means it can't be cut by wind magic." warned Isadora.

"Yes. I know. Dashie and Flora, come over here."

"Coming." said Dashie and Flora as the two were about to join Twila.

The skeleton was walking towards the group, but it was stopped as it stared at the seal door that others came from. Everyone notice something. There was no sound, no monsters scratching at the door or even the noises of the horde. Complete quiet...until a musical harp note was heard behind the door. With a flash, the door was cut down and slowly walking into the room was a caped light green knight, as her long hair came out of her helmet and the horn that was on it, glowed with great green magic. A sword floated behind her and stopped, as it was in front of the knight.

"Who the hell is that?" asked Dashie.

"She survived!" cheered everyone

The knight's eyes glowed a dark green under the face mask, as her sword was raised and within seconds, it dash at the monster and with each blow, a musical harp note was playing. It sliced the body, arms, legs and finally pierced its head, causing the skull to explode. The sword stopped in front of her and she turned her attention to the group, and started to walk towards them.

"Who is she?"

"Her name is Sir Lyra, the Harp string Wind Knight." explained Isadora in the most honorable voice as she bowed to the passing knight, who walked over to a fallen weapon shelf and sat down in the most unique way that she found comfy. She opened her face masked and smiled at everyone.

"What's up?" said Lyra in the most chill and carefree tone

"...and the most unique knight in our group..." soft explained Isadora as she looked over to the weird sitting knight and sighed.

"Nice to see you, Lyra. You have a habit of making a dramatic entrance." said Flora, as she walked to her team mate.

"Sorry. It was getting annoying hearing those things on the other side. So, how's everyone doing?" asked Lyra

"We're fine. Just had some problems." said Dashie, as she was now feeling comfortable with these people.

"What's up new girl. Guess you can be trusted if your with the others." smiled Lyra as she looked over to the knight. "Hey, Starry, what's the sitch?"

"We're escaping the horde, as you can plainly see, and don't call me that." sighed the knight.

"Cool cool. I'll help out."

Lyra summoned her sword and tossed it out of the building. Soon the group could hear dying screams in the distance and just as quick, the blade returned and deeply covered in blood and guts.

"Okay, problem solved." smiled Lyra.

"You just killed all of the horde?" asked Dashie.

"Nah, I doubt it. Those things are tough to kill. Just took care of the ones that were near the building. The rest will come, but I think they'll get the idea to stay away for a while. Okay, let's do whatever you guys were doing!" said Lyra, as she got up and clapped her hands.

"Right. We were running from the horde but since that's not a problem right now, we better head back where we came from and meet up with Kuu and Vaida." said Twila, as the others agreed.

The group went back the way they came and were heading back to the bridge. Soon they could see the two as they were with Starlight, who had return. Starlight took notice of the coming group and flew towards them. She landed next to her rider and started to push her face all over Isadora face.

"Easy, girl. Easy. I'm fine. Everything is okay." chuckled the knight.

"It's good to see you too, Isadora." said Kuu, as flew towards them and she smiled, before licking the knight's face.

"We're all glad your all safe, one arm." smiled Vaida, as she landed near them and noticed Lyra "Knew it was you. Who else could use a magical sword like that."

Lyra and Vaida gave each other a high five and then did a fist bump.

"So, I'm guessing you was with the others?" asked Vaida.

"Nope! Landed by myself. Was sitting on a bench and was waiting for anyone to show until I heard the horde and followed a group that was chasing something. Which was how I found Twila and the others." explained Lyra.

"I see. Glad to see you safe and well at least."

"Same. So, guessing the sibling duos are still missing?" asked Lyra.

"Yup." said Vaida

"You didn't see them, Starlight?" asked Isadora as she hop on her horse, who shook her "Then we better find. Come, let's go."

As they all were about to leave, Lyra said to stop, as she was looking at Dashie with an odd look.

"So, did you always had a rainbow tail?" asked Lyra.

"Uh...what?" asked Dashie as she looked behind and could see a rainbow tail coming out above her butt area. She was confused by this as her flashes of memories filled her eyes, before she turned back to the group, with a smile "Well yeah, I always had a tail."

"Interesting." said Lyra, as she was now wondering what happen to this human.

"You okay, Dashie?" asked Twila.

"Yup, never better. Now let's go find the others and get out of this place." smiled Dashie, as she ran pass everyone with surprised speed, almost like she was the wind as she ran off.

"She's seems odd? She acted like nothing was wrong when she has a tail now. Not a bad tail, mind you. Just strange she has one now or how she's not questioning her speed." said Lyra

"Yeah...hey Twila, how did she saved you again?" asked Flora.

"Uhhh...she took the impact from the fall for me but it was weird. I didn't see or feel any magic. I remember seeing blue feathers tho. She was also very warm, I mean her clothes!" panicky corrected Twila as she went red in the face but the others didn't noticed it.

"That doesn't make sense. She wasn't using magic or had a transformation item on her like Kuu has." said Lyra to herself but was quickly explained where Dashie came from "I see but it still doesn't make sense about her body..."

"Lyra. We need to go. If you want to talk about her later, fine, but for now we need to find the others and leave." said Isadora.

"Okie dokie!" happily said Lyra as she hurry past the group and chased after Dashie in the same speed as she ran off with.

"Why am I surround with weird colorful people..." sighed Isadora as she ordered Starlight to give chase and everyone followed.

The group was now running or in this chase, flying, trying to catch up with the blue human girl. Kuu was carrying Twila and Flora on her back, while Isadora and her horse was flying not to far from them and Vaida was in the back, running on the wall until they finally exited the building and was now in the open streets, allowing Vaida to start running on the rooftops. Lyra was almost near Dashie as she called out to her.

"Hey Blue. You can run really fast." smiled Lyra.

"Yeah."

"I'm faster." said Lyra as she was beside her now and her armor glowing green with wind magic.

"Oh yeah?" asked Dashie with a competitive smile.

"Yeah." smiled Lyra, as she suddenly started to run faster and left Dashie behind, laughing.

"Hey, get back here." laughed Dashie, as she gave a big jump and ran at a great speed to catch up. Leaving behind a rainbow trail.

"I guess there's a few people like that. Even in other worlds." chuckled Isadora.

The group soon made it to the center of the city, where they saw the two siblings, as they were laying low in the city square building and quickly took noticed of Lyra and the blue skinned girl as they were running laps around the square.

"Lyra, is that you?!" shouted the axe fighter, as she was wearing a checker pattern shirt with a small red scarf and blue shorts with boots.

"Hey, buddy. Long time no see." waved Lyra, as she stopped in front of the small woman and her big brother.

"What's going on? Why are you running around here?" asked the red knight as he limp out of the building.

"Just having a race with Blue here." smiled Lyra as she Dashie stopped beside her.

"And winning!" laughed Dashie.

"Yeah right. You wish." chuckled Lyra.

Both siblings were confused as they stare at each. Soon enough, rest of the group arrived and explained everything. Flora sat the red knight down as she started to heal his broken leg.

"AJ and Big Matthew, how did you survived the fall?" ask Twila as she could see how badly hurt Matt was

"It was pure luck, Twila." explained AJ "When we were falling, Big Matt grabbed me and saw a giant pool of water in a building and we landed in there. Matt broke his leg when he broke the water surface. Wasn't for that, we would had been flat pancakes I tell ya what."

"You're lucky that you survive, sir Matthew." sighed Isadora "If we lost you or your sister, your father, Johnny Appleseed, would of had my head. I did promise him that I'll make sure you two will back to him alive and in one piece.

"Yeah, well, that's life, ain't it?" sighed Matt, as he could feel his pain being taken away by Flora's magic and took off his helmet revealing his white beard and hair, even though he looked young

"I'm so happy your all safe." cried Twila, as she hug both the siblings.

"Thanks Twila. We're glad your all safe as well." said AJ, as she hug her back.

Dashie poked Lyra side and asking what's their story. In fact, what's everyone story as she wanted to know everyone here.

"Okay. Let me explain, since I'm the fastest. This is AJ, short for Abby Jasmine Appleseed. She might be small but she's very skilled with a axe and over there is her older brother, Big Matthew or Matt for short. He's a big guy but a sweetheart. They're both from a well known merc group called Apple Core. Starry knows their father, who was a former knight before quitting and starting his own band of knights. AJ wants to be like her father and wants to prove it. Matt joined us after we saved his sister from the living forest." explained Lyra

"The living forest?"

"It's where the forest is alive, as it's filled with sentient trees that will crush anything or anyone that steps in their territory."

Dashie pictured it in her mind and she suddenly flashes of the Everfree forest and nodded, as she knew what Lyra was talking about.

"Starry there, is a well known knight of the sky kingdom of Torna. She lost her arm years ago in a duel with her former lover. She doesn't want to explain further on that. She joined us after we saved the floating kingdom from falling into the mountains."

Lyra pointed to Flora next "She's pretty new. She's a wandering healer and happened to over hear a plot to kill Princess Eirika during the knight race tournament in Winterfall kingdom. She joined us as theirs a bounty on her head now."

"Who are after her?"

"The Church of the Demon Dragon. Remember that loser? He was one of the cult leaders of it."

Lyra turn her attention to Kuu next, who was trying to lick the siblings and failing.

"This is Kuu. She's the divined moon dragon. She's the last of the divine dragon clan and baby sister to the Sol dragon goddess, Helios. Princess Eirika found her in a underground cave and saved her from a cult leader that she was following. She has a weird habit of licking people. Said I tasted like mint?" laughed Lyra

"You do taste like mint." said Kuu, as she was standing next to her and licking her armored hand.

"Right...Moving on. We don't know why she was in that underground cave but after Eirika and the group she befriended before I came along, returned Kuu to the holy mountain of Sol. There, I was told that Eirika was chosen one to save our world from the returning Demon Dragon and to seek out the holy weapons." explained Lyra as she pointed to herself "Now this is my story."

Lyra did a drama pose and spoke in a cool voice "I'm a magical knight from the Windrunner kingdom. I was on vacation, enjoying my time off from protecting my kingdom. Until I met Eirika and her group. They was fighting the cult and trying to save a baby holy bear, after its mother was on a rampage. I joined them and been with them since."

Lyra pointed to Vaida next, as she was on the rooftop and keeping watch. "Vaida there. She's the leader of the Black Sun, a famous group of thieves. Her and her gang was hired by the cult to steal a ancient scroll that will allow them to find the key, that will remove the demon dragon seal. However, once Vaida read what was written on the scroll, she and her gang refused the contract and tried to stop the cult."

Dashie could see Lyra becoming sad as she went on.

"Her whole gang was killed but we saved her and she joined us. Wasn't until a week later, as we entered a cult hide out, where she found her dead husband body. He didn't know about her second life and she blames herself for everything. She's a really nice woman. Just misunderstood with the anger she has."

Lyra move on and pointed to Twila.

"And Twila, the first person to join Eirika on her quest with Kuu. She was captured at a very young age and was tested on with different curses by the cult for years. But was saved by Eirika. She's a very kind, smart and caring person. She's friendly to anyone or anything. She learned that she could use magic and was trained by the great wizard of the Xeno tower, as Eirika was there to deal with its "rat" problem." explained Lyra as she put her arm around Dashie shoulder and got closer to her face and whispered "Also has a nice butt right?"

"What?!"

"I know you was staring at her butt." chuckled Lyra, as Dashie turned bright red "I'm guessing you like her. It's okay. She's pretty, smart and kind. I would like her if I was you. She's a keeper."

"I have no idea what you're talking about." panicked Dashie.

"It's okay. It's okay. Your secret is safe with me. We butt lovers got to stick together!" laughed Lyra as Dashie couldn't look away from Twila butt and felt something warm inside her. Her heart was pounding and that warmth was building up, until she felt it exiting out of her back.

"What!?" shouted Lyra in awe and confusing, as her and everyone turned to Dashie and seeing two big beautiful blue wings, as it blasted through her jacket and stood tall and hard.

"Whoa...that's amazing." awed Flora, as she was finish healing Matt leg and he was now looking at the wings with amazed as everyone else.

"How did this happen?" asked Lyra.

"What?" said Dashie as she looked behind herself and seeing the wings. That's when memories flashed in her eyes "I always had these?" replied Dashie before quickly turning red as she tried to lower them but Starlight hurry over and pushed Lyra away and using her own wing, hid Dashie behind it. Dashie could see Starlight disappointed face, that read "Pervert.".

"You had wings this whole time and never knew it? What happen to you and your memories?" asked Lyra as Starlight still covering Dashie with her wing and not letting anyone close.

"I'm sorry, guys, but she needs some space. Something clearly is something going on with her. Let her process what's going on and hopefully she'll explain. But for now, let her have some space." calmly said Twila, as Starlight nodded and slowly moved her wing away, and pushed Dashie and guided her to a alley way and left the group.

"What was that all about?" questioned AJ, scratching her head.

"Maybe she has amnesia?" suggested Flora.

"It would make sense. When I talked to her earlier, she said she didn't have any memories of someone or remember her name." added Twila

Vaida jumped down from the rooftops and stood in front of the group. "I don't trust her at all! Even more now! We should push for more info!"

Vaida started to walk to the area where Dashie went but Isadora stopped her by putting her hand on her shoulder. Vaida could see the knight blushing and asked what was wrong.

"I believe she's some form of a Pegasus race in her world. Going by Starlight actions...its best we wait for them." said Isadora, as her face was turning red and her eyes looking away

"Why?"

Isadora sighed and whispered something to Vaida, who quickly turned red as well.

"Right! Let's wait for her!" nervously said Vaida, while Matt and Lyra understood and nodded, leaving the others to be confused.

Wasn't until a few minutes later that Dashie, with her wings finally down, and Starlight returned. Everyone could see Dashie hanging her head in shame, while Starlight was saying angry horse noises as she returned to her master side and still giving the same look to Dashie. Who wanted to die as she sat on the ground couldn't face no one.

"You okay?" asked Twila as she stood in front of Dashie and was worried, as she noticed her face was still red.
Dashie looked up at her and could feel her heart beating again and her wings were slowly moving up again, so she quickly slam her back on the ground floor and pointed two thumbs at her and bit of pain in her voice. "GOOD! I'M GOOD!"

Twila was confused by this but before she could ask, everyone but Dashie could feel something in the air. Something evil as they ready themselves and search the area for it.

"I can feel a dark aura. It's very strong. Whatever it is, it's not friendly." said Flora, as she ready her staff.

"I can feel it as well. This isn't normal. It's too powerful. Whatever it is, must have a huge mana level." added Lyra.

"Isadora, what should we do?" asked Matt, as he stood beside his lil sister and got his sword ready.

"We need to stay calm. Whatever it is, can feel our fear." stated Isadora, as her armor started glowing, as she was charging up her magic and ready to defend her allies.

Kuu, feeling the dark aura, was frightened and quickly jumped behind Twila and cried. Twila held her tightly and whispered to her "Don't worry. We're here."

Vaida, being an expert thief and trained her senses for danger, could hear something moving in the shadows and quickly drew her two blades. "Everyone, ready yourself. It's coming."

Everyone readied themselves and waited for the incoming enemy. The air around them was becoming heavier and darker. Everyone could feel the cold breeze, that made their skin crawl.

"It's here." deeply said Vaida as she stared down a man, who was wearing a cloak. Everyone knew who it was, it was the cult leader, as he approach them with a evil smile.

"Long time no see. You all seem well." greeted the cult leader, as he stop just a few feet from them and everyone was ready to fight.

"We have nothing to talk about. Leave or you'll regret it." demanded Vaida.

"You are no position to be giving orders, thief. In fact, no one is. All you worms need to listen to his voice, the real and true ruler of our world." replied the cult leader as he was holding something in his hand, as Twila quickly noticed what it was.

"The Horn of Spark!"

"That's correct. I won't allow you to escape this void! Not until what was promise to me! You'll stay here forever, as our lord take back what was his. The world!" shouted the cult leader, as he lift the horn up and crushed it with his hand.

As the horn broke into dust, the ground began to shake and everyone tried to stay balance, as the cult leader was laughing as shadows hands broke through the ground and grabbed him.

"Yes! Thank you my lord! Give me the power, so I can strike her down!" shouted the mad cult leader, as he pointed at Twila "So I can free her! FREE MY DAU-" but before he could finish, he was dragged into the ground by the shadow hands and with a mighty earth quake, the square scatter as a giant demonic light darkish blue unicorn came out.

"I WILL NOT BE STOPPED BY MORTAL FOOLS! MY DAUGHTER SHALL BE SET FREE! NO MATTER WHAT THE PRICE IS!" roared the demonic unicorn, as it stomp the ground and making a giant earthquake.

"Daughter?" whispered Twila.

"Twila!" shouted Vaida, as she jumped at her and knocked her out of the way from the falling building behind her

"Thanks." thanked Twila.

"Be careful!" shouted Flora, as she was casting a protective barrier around the group as the shadows were attacking the barrier

"What is that thing?!" shouted Lyra.

"A holy unicorn?" said Isadora.

"No. This one looks too demonic and has a mane made out of shadow." replied Matt, as he pointed at the mane and was right, as the mane was made out of shadows.

"What should we do?" asked Vaida, as the group was stuck between a giant demon and shadow hands.

"Everyone, let me, Lyra and Starlight take care of it." stated Isadora as she got on Starlight back and rose her sword in the air, making it shine with light.

"I'll keep us protected!" added Flora, as she raised her staff and began to cast another spell.

"Let's take the shadows down." said Matt as he charged towards the nearest shadow and sliced through it.

"Yee haw! Right behind you, brother!" shouted AJ as she ran towards a shadow and chop it with her axe.

Lyra leap on Starlight back and summoned her sword.

"Starlight, let's go!" ordered Isadora as they trio took off, towards the demonic unicorn and with a mighty roar, the battle has begun.

"I WILL END YOU!"

"We won't let you, pal!"

The unicorn open its mouth and shoot a large energy ball at the trio, who easily dodge it.

"Starlight, charge the horn and attack!"

Starlight nodded and flew towards the demon, while Isadora and Lyra got ready to strike.

"Take this!" shouted Lyra as she rocket her sword at the unicorn horn, which bounce off and a small crack appeared.

"Nice one, Lyra! It can be hurt!" said Isadora.

However, the demon wasn't finished and it used its crack horn to cast a lightning spell. Isadora and Starlight barely dodged it, but it didn't help much, as Lyra felled off but was able to summon her sword and using it as a hoverboard.

"We're not finished!" shouted Isadora as Starlight flew back towards the demon and charged at the unicorn and allowing Isadora to slash its forehead. The demon roar in pain, as a big gash was seen.

"Isadora!" shouted Lyra as she could see a ton of shadow hands going after all her.

Isadora saw the shadow hands and used her magic, as she blast them away with a magic wave from her sword.

"Nice job!" smiled Lyra as she was near them

"I couldn't have done it without your warning, Lyra."

"We're not done yet! Let's take that ugly demon down!"

"Agreed! Let's get it, Starlight."

Starlight nodded as she and the duo charged at the demon, while the others was busy dealing with the shadows.

"AJ, Matt, we're running low on mana. We can't keep this up." warned Flora.

"Can you blast them? Since are these things weak to light magic?" asked Matt.

"I would if I could, but we're surrounded. There's too many of them."

"We'll have to take them down ourselves then." stated AJ as she slice through a shadow and Matt follow suit, as they was fighting side by side.

"Keep fighting! We got to hold out until Isadora and Lyra can take that unicorn down!" ordered Vaida as she tossed paper bombs at a group of shadows as it was trying to grab Twila and the others.

"Kuu! Keep watch over Twila and the horny one!" ordered Vaida, as Kuu was shaking in fear but nodded, as she stood between the two, trying her best not to be scared.

"Don't worry. We're safe. Nothing can get past her." smiled Twila as she hugged Kuu and whispered "Thank you."

"Gonna be brave! Just like Eirika!" said Kuu, as she shook her head and her body was glowing with a small amount of moon light.

"That's right. Remember what she told you, when she left." smiled Twila.

"No matter what, no matter the time or situation, you gonna be brave! Brave enough to shine through the darkness!." roared Kuu as she shot out a sea of night sky looking flames and burned any shadows that came near.

Twila chuckled as she hugged her "Be the light that the people need..."

Dashie could only look on as everyone was doing their best, while she just watched from the backline. She hated this, hated in not helping anyone as something inside of her was growing. She looked up and saw the fight was happening above them. Isadora was getting exhausted as the demon was too much for her and Lyra.

"We can't win..." whispered Isadora as she was hit by a magic wave and almost fell off of Starlight.

"Isadora!" shouted Lyra as the magical knight caught her from falling, while the duo was able to dodge the next attack.

"We're not going to last long...we're losing...too much mana...and can't get close anymore..."

"Don't give up, Isadora! We can do this! We can win! For our friends, family, and loved ones! If you give up, all that's gonna happen is that the demon is gonna destroy everything and kill our friends!"

Isadora sighed, "You're right, Lyra. Let's do this! Together!"

Lyra smiled as they charged once more at the unicorn, which was charging a large magic attack.

"Starlight! Dodge! It's preparing to attack!" ordered Isadora, as Starlight nodded and was able to avoid the magical beam, but it wasn't the end of it.

"WHAT THE-" shouted Lyra in surprise, as the magic attack change its direction and was heading towards the others at the ground.

"NO!" screamed Twila as she was trying to cast a spell to protect the others, as the attack was about to hit them, but something stop the magical attack. Everyone was stunned at what they were looking at.

"This girl..." smirk Lyra. as she could see Dash holding the beam in place with one hand, while her wings were up and a rainbow halo behind her back.

"Dashie...?" whispered Twila.

"I've had it! I'm not gonna be useless!" snarled Dashie, as she toss the magic attack up into the air and soar into the air, quickly passing Isadora and Lyra, who was amazed by the super sonic speed.

"That speed!?" awe Isadora.

"That girl can really move! Can put us Wind Knights to shame!" smirked Lyra.

"Hey, ugly demon! Let's go, pal!" shouted Dashie, as the unicorn looked at her, while the others at the ground were shock by the bravery Dashie was showing.

"How dare you, fool. To stand in my way, when you should be bowing before the demon dragon teachings!" roared the unicorn.

"You may have a big horn and powerful, but that not gonna scare me, pal! I fought way more ugly monsters!"

"Insolence fool!"

"Enough talking! Time for the main show!"

Dashie was quickly dodging the unicorn attacks, while the demon was growing annoyed with her, as its attack weren't working.

"You're fast. But that not gonna stop me!"

"Not bad, pal! You got some speed, but not enough to catch me!"

"ENOUGH OF THIS FILTHY FOOLS MOCKERY!"

The unicorn's body was now engulf with dark flame, while its horn was glowing with a powerful magic attack.

"Is it casting a high magic spell!?" asked Twila, as she was worried about Dashie.

"That's a powerful magic spell! Dashie's not going to survive!" panicked Isadora.

"KID! RUN!" screamed Lyra as she tried to reach her "DAMN IT! I WON'T REACH HER! SHE WON'T GET AWAY IN TIME!"

Dashie, who was just floating in the air with her arms cross, staring at the demon as it was charging up its most powerful magical attack. The unicorn fired a magical beam covered in black flames and Dashie quickly rose her hands and pushed back the beam, with her super strength and speed. Everyone was in shock by the feat, as she was pushing the demon's attack back, not even signs of any struggle.

"Glad this sugar cube is our side." said AJ

"Eeyup." replied Big Matt

"Amazing." gasped Flora.

"Incredible." whispered Twila, as she could only stare in awe.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! SHE'S PUSHING BACK THE ATTACK! WITHOUT MUCH TROUBLE!" screamed Isadora who was also in shock.

"This power..." muttered the demon. "What are you, brat?!"

"Oh, you wanna know my name, pal?" smirked Dashie.

"DON'T PUSH YOUR LUCK!"

"The name is Rainbow Dashiell! One of the protectors of my world! And you're gonna lose, pal!"

With one final push, Dashie was able to push the beam away from her and the group, sending it into the air, and disappeared. The demon was now starting to grow nervous, as this 'Rainbow Dashiell' was a threat, as she was able to counter its magic attack with ease and her speed.

"This is my chance! Rainbow, we got this!" said Lyra as she and Isadora flew beside her.

"Good timing. You two gonna get the best seats!." smirk Dashie, as she blasted off, leaving the two in the dust.

"Hey, ugly! You wanted me! I'm right here!" taunted Dashie as she flew circles around the demon and making it dizzy.

"ENOUGH!"

The demon was about to fire another magical beam, but was suddenly punched in the chest by Dashie and was being pushed into the sky.

"I won't lose!" shouted the demon as it was pushing back.

"We'll see, pal! This is just the start! Get ready for my best move!"

Rainbow Dashie then increase her speed, until the sound barrier was crackling with multiple colors. The unicorn monster could feel its body being crush by the G force.

"THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! I JUST WANTED TO FREE HER!"

"Enjoy my Sonic Rainboom!!!"

Rainbow Dash then release her full strength, breaking the sound barrier, and releasing her Sonic Rainboom. Sending the monster into the sky, while the rainbow circle blasted across the void of nothingness.

"This...power." groaned the demon.

"You're gonna regret messing with me, pal!"

The two kept going, until they slam into the ceiling of the void but that didn't stop Dashie, as she kept pushing.

"I won't die here! I must live, for her sake!"

"Sorry, pal, but the show is over!"

"IT'S NOT OVER YET!"

"IT IS!"

Dashie took all the power she had and with one big push, she blasted through the ceiling. Scattering the void and freeing the dead city as a blue sky appeared. The rainbow light went further up, the monster could feel its body breaking apart, as it was now being burn by the rainbow energy.

"I'M FALLING APART! THIS ISN'T SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN! THIS ISN'T HOW IT WAS SUPPOSE TO GO!"

"Too bad, pal. Now you're going down!"

The rainbow energy was now burning away the demon's body, as it scream in agony.

"IT'S HURTS! MAKE IT STOP! PLEASE! DON'T BURN ME!"

"Sorry, but you've messed with the wrong girl! So, good night."

"IT HURTS! I CAN'T TAKE THIS PAIN! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS! WHAT DID I DO TO YOU?!"

"Because you threaten my friends! That is reason enough!"

The demon's body was now being destroy, as it scream, crying in pain.

"WHY! WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS!"

"For being a jerk."

"I ONLY WANTED TO FREE HER!!"

"I'm not hearing an apology, pal!"

"SORRY!"

"Louder!"

"I'M SORRY!"

"Now, you're going home!"

The demon scream in terror, as its body was being burn away by the rainbow energy, until nothing was left of it. Rainbow Dashie, on the other hand, was fine as she finally stop and floated there. She turned around and could nothing but a beautiful sun.

She smiled at it and but notice it was getting closer and bigger.

"Wait a sec. Suns are not suppose to get that big, and why does it feel so warm than hot?"

Suddenly, the sun became a super large white female dragon before turning into a human and to Dashie, it was this version of Celestia.

"CELESTIA?! YOU'RE HUGE!"

"Well, hello. You have done well. You saved this city and set free the cursed people who lived here as they were the monsters in this ruin kingdom. I, Helios, thank you."

"Uhh, your welcome. So, where are we?"

"My dimension. The sun realm, and it's just me. Tell me, other worldly hero, what do you wish for?"

"I need to get home, can you send me back?"

Helios shook her head, as she doesn't have the power to break the wall of the between.

"Then, can you show me where the rainbow shard is?"

"I'll do you one better." smiled Helios as her eyes glowed with yellow light and appearing in front of Dashie, was the rainbow shard. Like always, the shard she has, started to glow and floated out of her pocket. Both watch as the shards slowly becoming as one as the reality around was breaking down.

"Go little one, I pray that you return home and help my chosen one. You and they are running out of time. Here, take this orb. She's going to need it when you return home." said Helios as she handed Dashie a rainbow orb and placed it in her pocket.

"Who? You mean this Eirika person? and what you mean I'm running out of time!?" asked Dashie but Helios said nothing as she vanished and Dashie found herself failing into a bright void as the shards were still fusing. The bright light engulf the whole city as Twila and her friends covered their eyes.

"They're back!" shouted a crossed eye archer, as Twila and the others saw they were back in the field. Both groups were celebrating but Twila looked around and didn't see Dashie anywhere.

"Where's Dashie?" asked Twila, as Lyra and Isadora could only shake their heads.

"She was fighting the demon, but I lost sight of her after the explosion." explained Isadora.

"What!? Are you saying she might have died?!" shouted Twila, as she was trying not to cry.

"There's no way, she died. If anything, the explosion probably killed that cult asshole. Bet Blue is fine." reassure Lyra.

"Right, but where is she? We can't leave her behind!"

"Twila, it's okay. She's-" said Flora but she was cut off as everyone shouted to look at the sky, as the sonic rainboom was still there but slowly fading away into the sea of clouds. In the middle, they all could see a falling rainbow star.

"It's her!" cried Twila as she turned to the group. Isadora, on Starlight, quickly hurry over to Twila and got on.

"Starlight! Go!" ordered Isadora, as the Pegasus opened her wings and took off. The two quickly went through the clouds and could see Dashie, slowly falling and surround by a rainbow energy as she was holding something.

"Dashie! Don't worry, I got ya!" cried Twila, as she reached out her arms, as Starlight was flying faster.

"Just a bit more!" cried Isadora.

"Almost there!" shouted Twila, as her and Isadora almost caught Dashie, but were blasted away by a pillar of rainbow light.
Twila could see Dashie was disappearing into the light, and was unable to reach her.

"DASHIE!" cried Twila, as tears were coming out of her eyes.

Dashie opened her eyes and could see Twila, Isadora and Starlight. Soon she could see Kuu, Lyra and other Pegasus knights that are part of Eirika group, were flying behind Lyra.

"See ya around..." cried Dashie as she gave Twila and the others a see you later hand gesture and disappeared into the light.

"DASHIE!" shouted Twila, but she was too late, the rainbow pillar disappeared and the sky was returning back to normal. "Dashie..." cried Twila, as she shed a tear before looking back into the sky, as a rainbow appeared between the clouds. "Hope you find and remember her. See ya around." smiled Twila as Lyra and the others arrived. Lyra put her hand on her shoulder and letting her cry some more.

Dashie opened her eyes and she found herself back in the garden. The alicorn was there, as she looked at her.

"They're not going to last for much longer. Do you remember her yet?"

"...no but memories of her...I think I'm remembering the time I had with her. I think I'm starting to remember her face." explained Dashie as she held her chest, as she was crying again.

The alicorn closed her eyes and the garden was freaking out as Dashie could see a black ooze pony, with bright white eyes, behind the alicorn.

"Please, hurry. If not, everything and everyone is doomed."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to forget you. You and I, are the same, I remember that now." smiled Dashie, making the alicorn opened her eyes with shook.

"Wait, do you remem-" but she was cut off as everything disappeared into the rainbow light but Dashie smiled as she floated within it.

"I'm not letting you go again. I'll save you this time, even if I'm not really "me". Right Dash and Dashie..." softly whispered Rainbow Dashie as she flicker between Dashie, Dash and a third Dash who was wearing a dark blue jacket...

The rainbow light disappeared and Dashie could feel herself floating without falling. She opened her eyes and could see a purple moon, as it started to glow bright and blowing up with great force. She could see the earth in front of her as the moon chucks disappeared. She realized she was in space. She closed her eyes and felt herself being pushed back into the planet pull. Her body was hot as she reentry and falling towards a island. She crashed face first into the grassly field. She wasn't in pain and she didn't know why. She could hear voices and she slowly looked up and could see pony AJ, Pegasus Pinkie Pie, who was wearing a red dress and Scoots as a griffon.

"Who is she? Where's Bolt?" asked Pinkie

Scoots took out a tablet and scanned Dashie and was surprised by the readings.

"Can't be? The readings are a match with Bolt! This is Bolt the Pegasus!"

Dashie stood up and unknown to her, her human ears were replaced with pony ears and face looked more like a pony now, while her body was still human shape.

"Name isn't Bolt. My name is Rainbow, Rainbow Dash!"

After explaining to the three, about her story and trying to get back home, Pinkie, known as Anna, gasped in surprise, while Scoots and AJ, known as Alice Jade, were surprised by this tale.

"Multiverse is real!?" said Anna.

"Anna, you first hoof seen it? Remember Heat? How her universe was crashing into ours?" explained Scoots, as she remembered her old friend.

"Oh, right silly me! Wait, you're from another multiverse and not from Heat's universe right?!" shouted Anna, as she turned back to Dash.

"Who?" asked Dash, but before anyone could say, a yellow floating AI pegasus appeared between them.

"Enmity?" said Scoots as she was taken by surprise of their new friend, who Bolt helped in saving her father from a evil moon.

"I sense a weird energy reading during Bolts fight with the evil moon. It wasn't the Elements or the Chaos readings, so I came here to check it out." said Enmity, as she looked at Dash and was surprised to see her.

"Hey, you look like Fluttershy!" said Dash, as Enmity was trying to process this, as she didn't know this Fluttershy person.

"What happened to Bolt? Why is she different?"

"I can explain it again." explained Dash, as she told her story a second time, with Enmity caught up as well.

"I see. Another universe version of Bolt and you are trying to get home?"

"Yeah, is that bad?" asked Dash

"No. In fact, I can help."

"Really, how!?"

"Follow me." smiled Enmity as she floated into the air.

"You sure about this, Enmity?" asked Scoots as she believed who Enmity was going to take Dash to.

"This is the best thing we can do." explained Enmity, as the group followed Enmity to a open cliff side, which had flowers.

There, Dash could see a another familiar face. Sitting on a large rock, was Discord but he was a different color, purple and red than his normal look.

"Father, my readings were correct. It wasn't the Element or the Chaos energy." Enmity told Discord as she hovered to him, who then petted her on the head.

"Good work. Let me guess, Enmity, the reason you brought them here is because you think I might help them with their problem, right?"

"Yes, she's not from this universe, she's not the same Bolt."

"Not from this universe? Not Bolt?" said Discord in confusion as turned around and noticed Dash. He was shocked at her.
"You're not our Bolt." said Discord as he was studying Dash, as he floated to her and started circling her. "She's a Pegasus, no, half-human, half-Pegasus...Interesting."

"Human?" asked Anna, as the group never heard of that name before

"She's from a universe where humans exist and they are the dominant race, but looking at her, she has half human DNA and normal pony DNA..."

"So a "human" is her? Wait, how you know this?" asked AJ, trying to understand this.

"I'm one of the Lord of Chaos. I know a lot of things, but you, I never expected you." smiled Discord as he floated back to his rock "You being here, starting to make more sense now."

"What are you talking about Discord?" asked Dash as she went up to him and glared.

"Easy, don't want to upset a powerful being, especially the Element of Loyalty."

"She's a Element? Like Accord and the emeralds?" questioned Scoots as she flew to them and wanted to know more.

"Yes, but the Elements in our universe is much different than her own, which takes form or shape, depending the creature who takes up the Elements. Ours are just emeralds and with enough power to transform somepony into a "super" state."

"A super state, you mean Super Bolt?" asked Anna, but Discord didn't answer as he was staring at Dash.

"What are you looking at?" asked Dash.

"The Element of Loyalty...I sense it in you but I sense another."

"Other what?"

"I sense two different Loyalty elements, but one is getting more stronger than the other." explained Discord as he looked away and stared up at the morning sky.

"Another?" questioned Dash, as she held her chest and was feeling something.

"Father, I'm not sensing anything from her, I'm not even sensing the elements. What are you seeing that I'm not?" asked Enmity as she flew next to him.

"Enmity, I want you to tell me, what's wrong with her?" asked Discord, ignoring her question.

"With her? Well, her personality is different than Bolts, less carefree and her body is different as well, but I'm not sensing anything strange from her other than that." explained Enmity, as Discord sighed.

"Enmity, the reason I'm sensing the two Loyalty energies is because, she's not the only one here. There's another person inside of her."

"What do you mean by "inside of her"?!" shouted Dash as she was shocked.

"Calm down, pal!" said AJ as her and others held her back, as she suddenly got up in Discord face.

"Inside of her?! Does that mean Bolt is trapped in there?!" asked Anna

"No." simply said Discord as he kept looking at the sky, not once turning to them.

"So, not Bolt. Who?" asked Scoots

"It's not my place to say. We all follow rules in every universe."

"Rules?" said Anna, but Dash pushed her and others off as a rainbow halo appeared behind her back, as she walked closer to Discord.

"Discord! Drop the bullshit! What are you trying to say about me!?" demanded Dash as her rainbow aura was starting to grow, but Enmity quickly flew in and stopped her.

"Stop! Don't hurt father!" ordered Enmity as she tried her best to keep Dash under control.

"He knows something, I can see it on his face. Tell me what's inside me. What's wrong with me!?"

"Dash, don't!" shouted Scoots, as she saw that Dash's wings were open and flapping with rage.

"Enough, calm down. Bolt would never act like this!" ordered Anna, but Dash kept getting madder.

"Enough! Tell me what's wrong with me!" demanded Dash

Discord finally look away from the sky and faced Dash, with no emotions in his voice, said "Do you remember her yet?"
Dash backed away, as she started to freak out. How did Discord know about her memory problems.

"Father?" said Enmity

"You, do you remember her yet?"

"...her face...she's a friend...I'm remembering her...wait, how did you know that?" questioned Dash.

"I have my ways. Tell me, if you are remembering her, you are getting closer to finding her but you are also getting closer to..." stopped Discord as he returned looking into the sky. Everyone followed him and suddenly saw it.

"What the hay is that!?" pointed AJ as she and others could see a black slime monster with two white eyes, as an image that was floating above in the sky, no, their universe.

"The end." finished Discord.

Dash was confused, as her body was starting to shake and her head was hurting, as she fell to her knees. The more she was shaking, the more her human traits were disappearing. Her body was losing mass and was turning into a Pegasus pony but she quickly returned to her normal state, like something was stopping it.

"What's going on? What's wrong with us?" asked Dash as she looked up to Discord, with fear in her eyes.

"You're not the only one's who was a passenger when you two jumped between universe. You are also carrying someone else."

"Someone...else?" whispered Dash, as she felt pain in her mind, as she placed her hand on her face "Wait, why did I say "us"? Wasn't there someone else with me before?"

"Father, what are you talking about?! Who else is there, what's going on!? Tell us!"

"I can't. Even telling you this is breaking the rules."

"Rules?" everyone said

"The multiverse has rules. Things need to happen, no matter what. The further the multiverse branches from the prime universe, there will be different outcomes. Different takes from the prime universe events, different outcomes to different telling of things. But, the more it branches, the more the universe starts to completely drop, change or add things. They become different, completely new. A completely new take on someone or everyone lives. For example, Bolt is a hero in this universe, who's fate is to stop me from destroying this world but in the prime universe, we're friends because of a certain yellow Pegasus..." sadly said Discord as he petted his AI daughter.

"A completely new take on someone lives...?" whispered Dash

"That's what makes you, "you". Every universe, every reality, there's an infinite amount of possibilities. An infinite number of versions of "you" across the multiverse, but that's not the main point. The point is, you can't change your fate, as it's written in stone. In one universe, you and your friends stop a world ending event but another, you don't. It's how things work. That's the rule, don't change things or the infected dead branch will spread and kill the roots. And if the roots dies, so will the whole tree."

"What does this have to do with me? Are you saying that there's someone else in my body that's want to change something?!" asked Dash as her hands were on her face and crying, as she didn't know why.

Discord stood up and looked down at Dash, with anger in his voice, he spoke "Why couldn't you let it go? Why couldn't you accepted your fates? Because of you, the whole multiverse is gonna die!"

"No! That's not what I wanted!" shouted Dash, as her face was in shock, she didn't say that but it was as if someone forced her to say it.

"What do you mean, "that's not what I wanted"? Tell me! What did you wanted!?"

"I wanted to save her! I wanted her back! I didn't want her to die! I'm not going to give up!" shouted Dash as she didn't realize that she said it herself, without force. She was surprised by her words, she never felt this way before.

"That's not how it's suppose to be. You're suppose to give up and accept your fate, not jump through the multiverse. Your story was to find her and accept her death. Accepted the death of your whole world!"

"No! I won't give up! I'm going to save her!" screamed Dash as a second rainbow halo appeared behind her back, as she roar with rage and tackle Discord off the cliff.

"FATHER!" shouted Enmity, as Dash flew out to sea and punching Discord.

"Stop!" yelled Anna, but they were to far away now to hear her.

Scoots quickly thought of something and took off back to the field they were at, as she found her orange plane and hop in.

"Bolt, I wish you were here but I'll stop this!" shouted Scoots, as she started the plane and took off. She pressed a button on the plane, transforming it into a jet fighter mode. With this form, Scoot blasted off where Dash and Discord were.

Meanwhile, Dash was beating on Discord and was still screaming.

"I won't give up, not ever! I don't care if you or anyone thinks I should, I'm not giving up! I'm saving her and nothing can stop me!"

Discord was just taking the hits, he didn't fight back. "What is it with you? What makes you think you have a choice in all this? The rules..."

"I don't give a fuck about the rules!" shouted Dash as the two rainbow halo behind her back glowed brightly.

"I'm not gonna give up and you can't stop me. I will get her back, I don't care what anyone says!"

"Dash, that's what's why rules are there, to keep everything going. If you against it, you create "that"." coughed Discord as he pointed to the slime monster in their universe. "You are creating the end of everything!"

"I'm not gonna let that thing get me!"

"It's not after you! It's after everyone!"

Dash looked up at the sky, to the slime creature.

"Why? Why is it there? What's it doing?!"

"It's trying to spread itself. It's gonna make dead branches and infect the prime universe."

"But, why!?"

"Because, like I said, this is what happens when the rules are broken. It's gonna kill everything and everyone. And if it spreads to the prime universe, it'll kill that as well. The End. Nothing, all life in the multiverse will be gone. You got to let her go..."

"Let her go? I can't, not now, not ever. She was my world and I won't leave her!"

"She's gone..."

"SHE'S NOT!"

"I'm sorry..."

"SHUT UP!"

"It's time to move on..."

"NO! I'm saving her!"

"You got to accept that..."

"I CAN'T, I'LL NEVER ACCEPT IT!" screamed Dash with rage as she punched Discord in the face and sent him flying across the ocean. She's filled with rage, so much, that a third rainbow halo appeared behind her like the others.

"FATHER!" shouted Enmity in fear and sorrow, as she appeared and caught him in her small arms.

"Foolish daughter...run..." coughed Discord as his blood was falling out of his mouth

"But..." Enmity held on to Discord and started to cry, she wasn't going to leave her father.

Dash saw this and got furious, the third halo grew brighter and her eyes became blank. She's filled with so much rage, so much, that a fourth rainbow halo appeared behind her back.

"I'M NOT GIVING UP AND NO ONE IS STOPPING ME, RULES OR NOT!"

"Father!" cried out Enmity as she held Discord tight as a bright Rainbow aura appeared around Dash.

Dash was filled with so much anger, she wanted to kill them but she froze. She watch the little AI Pegasus holding Discord so tight and crying. She remember something, something from her past, as static filled her vision.

The static faded and Dash vision was like a worn out video tape, as she held ashes in her hooves. She was crying, as the world was burning all around.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't save you." she cried as she was holding the ashes to her charred burning chest. "I will never let you go..."

She looked up and could hear a voice, telling her to finish it. Break the world.

"What? Finish it? Finish what?"

The world is already dying, break it! Lets finish it together.

"Break?"

Break the world and you will be with her forever.

"With her?"

The voice said yes and Dash smiled. She closed her eyes and could hear the voice again, as her eyes turned blank.

"Break the world...and be with her...be with you...Breaker..."

Her vision burned away into the whiteness. She blinked and could see herself in a white void.

"What was that?" said Dashie

"No clue." said Dash, as she appeared next to her human version.

"Dash! You are alive!" cried Dashie as she hugged her pony version

"Miss you too!" laughed Dash as rubbed Dashie head

"I'm sorry..."

Both Dashes turned to the figure that was sitting in front of them, with her back towards them.

"Who are you?"

"You should know who I am, Rainbow Dash."

"No clue. Why are you here?"

"I'm here because...I want to apologize."

"Apologize?" questioned both Dashes.

"I'm sorry. I should have never made that choice. It was too late for me, it was too late to stop myself from making the wrong choice but I'm going to make things right, I promise."

"Make things right?" asked Dashie

"I'm going to save her, no matter the cost. I'm sorry for everything."

"Sorry for what? Saving her? Who are you!? Why did you took over Dashie body!?" shouted Dash

"I'm sorry for not saving her."

"Sorry?" questioned Dashie, as tears was falling out of her eyes.

"I couldn't save her, no matter how hard I try, I couldn't save her. She was gone. She's not coming back."

"But..." cried Dash, as tears was filling up her eyes as well.

"I'm sorry for making that choice. That choice, that choice that broke me..."

"What choice?"

"I couldn't save her...so I made a new one..."

"New?"

"To break everything..."

"Break everything?"

"Yes. To break everything, if I couldn't be with her..."

"But why? Why would you do that?"

"Because..."

The figure turned around and quickly melted into a black ooze looking pony as it screamed out to them.
"BECAUSE WE'RE MEANT TO BREAK EVERYTHING!" laughed the monster.

Both Dash was horrified by what they saw and quickly stepped back.

"Who are you?" asked Dash, as she was backing up.

"My name is...Rainbow Breaker."

"Rainbow Breaker? What's going on?!"

"Break!"

The monster attack them but froze in place, as something or someone controlling it's body, as rainbow tears were falling out of its eyes.

"Please, save her...remember her...It's why I sent you away..."

"Sent away?" said both Dashes

"I couldn't save her but maybe, just maybe, you can..."

"Wait!"

"Find her..."

The monster's body was melting away into the whiteness, leaving a small piece of a rainbow shard behind. Dash and Dashie slowly walked up to it but stopped, as a third version of them walked up to the shard and picked it up.

"I will. I'll save her."

Both Dashes were confused by the third version.

"Sorry you two, I'm taking the wheel again."

The white void engulfed everyone and Dash was back in the real world and seeing Enmity and Discord in front of her. She finally let go of her rage and the halos on her back faded away.

"I'm sorry...for hurting you..." cried Dash

"You finally took over?" questioned Discord but before he could get a answer, a energy ball came out from nowhere and landed on Dash back, shocking her.

"AGH!"

Enmity and Discord was thrown back from the force, as Dash was being electrocuted and screaming.

"ENOUGH OF THIS!" yelled Scoots as she fired another energy ball from her plane cannon, hitting Dash again.

"AAAAAGH!"

All three watched as Dash lost consciousness from the attacks and fell into the ocean below. Stinking into the bottom of the ocean floor. As her body lay there, a metal arm came from above and grabbed her. Slowly taking her back to the surface, revealing Scoots saved her.

"Scoots, listen to me. You need to find the Rainbow Ruby!" said Discord as he flew next to Scoots in her plane.

"Rainbow Ruby?"

"Yes, don't remember that ruby from a few years back?"

Scoots tried to remember and did, she remember the Rainbow Ruby and how she, AJ and Bolt were teleported to places to their past adventure as they fought Discord and Chaos Spirits.

"Yes, I remember the ruby now but why?"

"It can help her remember "her" and it will send her back to her universe. Bolt is in danger. She's fighting against "that" and is losing, even super state 2 isn't enough." explained Discord as they look up and see a golden light fighting the ooze monster and flickering in and out.

"No!"

"Quick, she doesn't have much time."

"But where is the Ruby?"

"It's somewhere on Gala island. After you find it and make her remember, let her take the Master Element Emerald with her. Bolt is going need "those" again. Now go!"

"Right! But where are you going?" asked Scoots as she could see Discord and Enmity disappearing

"Going to meet my other selves." smirk Discord as they vanished into thin air

Scoots flew back to the island, and picked up her friends and told them what they needed. AJ didn't like this but if it had to save Bolt, she would help, same with Anna as both hop into the plane and headed to Gala island, that was floating above the sea.

As they arrived and landed at the shrine of the Master Element Emerald, Scoots quickly got to work.

"How are we going to find the Ruby?" asked Anna

"Well, that's where AJ comes in."

"Sugar cube, you can count on me! I can find any stone on my island!" wink AJ as she stormed off into the forest with great haste.

"I will stay and keep a eye on "Bolt"." said Anna, as she watched Scoots work on a device before getting out of the plane and checking on Dash.

"Ok." replied Scoots as she continued to work on a device.

After a hour later, Dash opened her eyes, as she could hear voices.

"So, this is the Rainbow ruby." said Anna as she was looking at the ruby and watching AJ handing it to Scoots.

"Would had been here faster, if it wasn't for a certain diamond dog!" snapped AJ, as a certain diamond dog came out from a hole in the ground and looked up at her, Dash could see it had a white fur and fancy dark purple hair.

"Hehehe, Sorry darling. Didn't mean to steal it from you. Just saw it and must have it!"

"Rarity..." sighed Anna.

Scoots was looking at the sky before she turned to Dash and noticed she was awake.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" asked Scoots, as she floated towards her.

"Like a truck ran me over."
"That's good to hear, means my weapon was effected against you." smiled Scoots as she pointed a smaller version of her planes cannon gun, at her face.

"You can say that." groaned Dash, as she sat up and looked at her. "I'm not fighting you. I lost it back there and I'm sorry."
Scoots and everyone wasn't sure to believe her but Scoots didn't lower her weapon.

"Look Discord asked us to give you two things. First, here." said Scoots as she tossed a rainbow ruby stone at Dash, caught it and her eyes went wide.

"This is a rainbow shard? but it's so huge!"

"Not a shard. It's the Rainbow Ruby, It's a ruby that can teleport you to your past events or people you met. Thing caused a lot of trouble years ago."

"Really?"

"Yeah, after the last time it was used. We didn't know where the Ruby went or what happen to it but it seems it landed on Gala again. So, use it." explained Scoots.

"How?"

"Think of the person or the time you want to go back to. After remembering the past, it will send you back here."
Dash thought about it and she knew who she wanted to go back to, the pony that she was trying to remember so hard for and she held the ruby tight. The Ruby glowed brightly and surrounded Dash with a rainbow light, before teleporting her away.

"Where did it send her?" asked Anna, as she watched the rainbow light fade.

"To where she needed to be." smiled Scoots.

Dash opened her eyes and could see she was in a city. It was a beautiful sunny day, as the sun was in the middle of the sky, and the streets were filled with ponies and other creatures. She was looking around and didn't recognize where she was.

"Where am I?"

"What's wrong?"

"Huh?"

Dash turned to the pony that was talking and could see "her" again. All three flickering between each other.

"Oh, it's nothing. Just wondering where we are."

"We're at Spark city, silly. Where else would we be?" laughed "her"

Dash could only smile, as she held her hoof/hand out for Dash to grab. Dash grabbed her hoof/hand, and they continued their walk together.

"It's nice here, right Rainbow?"

"Isn't it?"

"Yeah, ever since the war ended between the two sisters all those years ago, its been peaceful. I heard the war ended
when both kingdoms were destroy by a weapon. I wonder what would had happened if that war had continued on. The two sisters never spoke about the reason they fight in the first place."

"Really?"

"Yeah. The only thing we do know is, it brought peace. Peace between all. All the creatures are free to walk these lands and cities. The sisters war ending faster, created this world and its our home."

"I'm glad you like this place." smiled Dash, as she flicker between her three different versions

"It's my favorite place. I love walking down these streets and talking to everyone. This place has everything but you made it more peaceful. You defeated the gangs and those that wanted the sisters war to be a thing again. Thank you." smiled "her"

"It's the least I can do..." Dash took "her" hand/hoof and held it tight. "You are my world. My everything, you gave me so much love, joy and happiness, I can't imagine my life without you."

"Same for me. I would do anything for you. No matter what, I will always be by your side. I love you."

"Love you too."

Dashes closed their eyes and started to cry.

"I want this memory to go on forever but the memory we need isn't this one. I'm sorry.." said the third Dash, as her eyes were crying out rainbow tears.

The memory around Dash started to crack and fade, as the another memories appeared. Stepping out of the third Dash, was Rainbow Dash and Dashie, as they saw all the memories of the girl they needed to remember. They were reliving their lives within seconds. All the happy memories they ever had with them. All the good, the bad and the in-between, every memory was important. Dashie could only watch with tears in her eyes and was being embraced by Rainbow Dash, who also was crying.

"We need to remember..." said Dashie

"Remember...who?"

"Her..."

Dash could only watch, as the memories kept playing. Dash remember all the adventure she had with and memories that had her missing, was fixed. Her mind was clear and full of them.

"I remember..."

Dashie looked up and smiled, as she too remembered her. How could they forget her? them? The most important person and pony in their lives. They finally remember them, as their faces flashes between each memory.

"You remember, who they are..."

Dash and Dashie look over and could see the third Dash, sitting there, waiting for their replies.

"We do." said both girls.

"I'm happy, that you two could finally remember them." smiled the third Dash "Can you tell me their names?"

"We can. Her name is-" said both Dashes as they breath in and shouted at the same time "Twilight Sparkle Twilah Finkelstein!"

The third Dash watched as both girls broke down in tears and crying.

"She is the most beautiful and greatest pony, that anyone could ever meet. She's a egghead and a bookworm but she's a great friend, a friend that will help you no matter what. Twilight is my bestie!"

"She's my friend, my soulmate, the girl I love and adore. I can't live without her. I love her, I want to her that!" cried Dashie

"Good. Now, its time. It's time for you to head back, your universe will start to pull you back home. You need to stop her before it's too late." said the third Dash as she took out a rainbow gem, as all the shards they had, fused with the ruby and became a necklace. She put it on and smiled at it.

"What about you?" asked Dash as she and Dashie walked up to her

"Yeah, we seen your memories. You were the shards, weren't you? We know why you sent it to us. You wanted a avatar, didn't you? You wanted us to remember "them" so, you could take over our bodies, right?"

"Yes...but after being with you two, seeing your memories of "her", then my blind rage in my failure and not letting go...I don't deserve-"

"Come on, you do!" said Dash as she and Dashie wrapped their arms around her.

"Let us help you. Together, we can beat her and stop her!" said Dashie

"Yeah, don't be a coward! Your not alone in this." said Dash as she hugged the third Dash.

"I can't."

"You can and will." said Dashie as she hugged her as well.

"B-but you two will lose who "you" were."

"It doesn't matter, we are Rainbow Dashes and we're awesome, right?" smirked Dash as she winked at the third Dash

"Right. Come on, let us help you!"

The third Dash could only look at them and started to cry, before wrapping her arms around them and nodding her head.

"I would like that. I would like to save her."

"Good." said both girls, as the necklace started to glow brightly, and all three girls became one.

Scoots and the others watched as Dash returned but was much different, even her friends were confused by the new look.

"I see something happened?" said Scoots as she lowered her weapon.

"Yeah and tell Discord thanks. By the way, what was the second thing you wanted to give me?"

AJ walked over and tossed the Master Element emerald over to Dash, who caught it.

"He said Bolt is going to need "them" to stand a chance against that!" pointed AJ to the sky, as the slime monster was now the whole universe, as a fading golden light fighting it.

"Got it!" nodded Dash, as her body started to turn a rainbow color and flashes of her different versions, asthey flicker within in the light "Let's go! Back home!"

Within a flash, Dash landed on her hooves and could see she was back in the universes that her other selves come from. She stepped forward and the crater reappeared from the dark slime. She looked up and could see another version of herself, with grey out emeralds around her, as she was on her last leg. She looked up further and could see the monster. She knew who it was.

"Don't worry, I'm coming. Rainbow Blitz is coming!" said Blitz, as the monster sent out a roar so powerful that, reality scattered behind her and as the wall between broke, reflection of Twilight appeared before the broken glass vanish.

...to be continued in "Your name across the multiverse" and "Twilight Side"
