Rainbow Dash: Ponyville Assassin

The screen loads up and Rainbow Dash is with her friends at Ponyville's town square after helping Applejack and Big Macintosh pick apples for cider season. Since she started two years ago, she was guaranteed one barrel for herself, as were the other girls for their efforts.

"Thanks for yer help, girls." Applejack said with a very pleased tone. "This year's cider season is going to be the best yet." She added, until the group sees a bunch of ponies in a trance, trotting to somewhere. AJ looks up to Dash. "Could ya see what the fuss is about?" Dash nods and takes off.

Lots of ponies were in a trance Dash noted as she was making her way to the front of the line. Far ahead she sees what looks like Flim and Flam's harvester. That can't be right, she thought, those two were run out of Ponyville for this exact same thing.

Unwillingly, her vision changed and as it did, she nearly fell to the ground from the pain, but it quickly subsided. Using this new vision, she checked out the harvester again, this time she was able to see something pulsing from the front before her vision normalized. "What the hay?" She asked herself quietly before returning to the others.

Dash returns, stopping in midair. "I've got some bad news." She says, rubbing the back of her neck. "Flim and Flam are back, and they have some freaky thing attached to their harvester making the other ponies the way they are." She concluded.

AJ grumbled. "If it ain't one thing, it's another." She says before galloping off.

Dash lands next to Twilight and closes her wings. "Hey, Twi. I know you know a thing or two about the order, so I gotta ask if you know anything about my vision changing." She inquired, shocking the princess.

"You have Second Sight?" She asked, getting a shrug from Dash. "Did everything get dark, and all you could see was an aura around everypony?"

Dash nodded at this question. "Yeah... and I could see something pulsing out from the harvester." She added.

Twilight stops and rubs her chin. "Follow me." She ordered.

The screen flickers and loads up a new area for Silver. Dash was underneath Twilight's library. "Why am I here?" She asks.

Twilight lights up the room with her magic. "It's rare for a non-Alicorn pony to have Second Sight. So I'm going to teach you how to use it." She says.

Dash cocks her head and lifts an eyebrow. "Twilight, you weren't born an Alicorn." She noted. "So how can you know about this... Second Sight?"

Twilight giggles. "Nopony is born an Alicorn, Rainbow. Princesses Celestia, Luna and Cadance all went through the same process I did."

Twilight levitates a piece of cloth to Dash and covers her eyes, blinding Silver as well. "I'm going to place an invisible marker on the wall, Rainbow." She says. "When I tell you, take off the blind fold and look for the marker using Second Sight." She continued.

Dash groans. "How am I supposed to use it?" Dash asked. "Focus on it, Dash." Twilight answers.

After a few moments, Twilight finishes placing the marker and darkens the room. "Okay, Dash. You can take the blind fold off." She says.

Dash does as she instructed. "It's too dark in here, Twi. How am I su-" Dash says, interrupting herself. "Second Sight..." She finishes.

The screen flickers and Silver is once again in control of Dash. "Activate Second Sight and find Twilight Sparkle's marker." A popup read. Fortunately for Silver, Second Sight was easy enough to activate and does. Not only does he see the marker, but he also sees Twilight's aura in blue. Silver makes his way to the marker and interacts with it.

Second Sight deactivates and the light from the candles returns. "Congratulations, Rainbow." Twilight says proudly. "I'm surprised that you were able to catch on so quickly." She adds.

Applejack opens the door above them and enters. "Girls, we've got a major problem." She says.

The screen flickers and the group stands outside of the library. They see many hypnotized ponies trotting off to who knows where. "What are they doing?" Dash asks openly.

"If I were to guess, it looks like they're raisin' an army." AJ answers.

"An army for what, though?" Twilight asks. "It's not like we're at war with anyone." She adds.

AJ nods. "I know." She says, looking over to Dash. "Let's find out, shall we?" Dash nods and the two take off.

Silver regains control of Dash. "Follow Applejack to Flim and Flam." A popup reads. A marker is placed on the minimap, on top of AJ. Silver follows her closely as they make their way to the town square.

The screen flickers, Dash lands next to AJ and look over to Flim and Flam. "Let's do this." Applejack says, hoofbumping Dash. "Just don't get caught."

"Destroy the harvester using an Atomic Rainbomb." A popup reads. Silver takes Dash to an isolated part of town and flies her to the town's ceiling.

As quickly as he ascended, Silver plunged Dash on to the harvester. When prompted, he activated the Atomic Rainbomb, destroying the harvester and the magical device attached to it, as well as sending the two Unicorns flying in opposite directions.

"Oh for two, Flim!" Flam yells to his twin brother.

"Time to get a move on!" Flim yells back.

Applejack catches up to Rainbow Dash. "I'll go after Flim, you get Flam!" She ordered. Dash nods and begins her pursuit.

As per usual, Silver chased after Flam as he had chased previous ponies. This time was a little different. Since he was a Unicorn, Flam was able to use spells to evade Dash and would hurl various objects to try and slow her down and teleport from side to side, but his tricks weren't enough and Silver caught up with the Unicorn and tackled him.

Dash had the Unicorn pinned down and pressed the blade against his neck. "Why would you two do it?" She asked, pressing the blade more firm against his neck. "Why would you brainwash these ponies?" She continued.

Flam simply laughs. "For the bits, of course." Dash grumbles. "Is money the only thing you and your brother care about?" She asked.

Flam feigned being in thought for a second before grinning. "Yes." He answered.

Dash was more than a little upset hearing this. "Why are you collecting the bits?"

Flam laughs some more. "All part of our project, my dear."

Dash plunged the blade into his neck. "Hopefully this will slow down your project." She says, removing the blade from his neck and cutting off a chunk of his moustache.

The screen flickers and fades to white.
