Darkness Shrouds Us All

    Zipping through the clouds, we find Rainbow Dash doing her job. Clearing away the clouds and such. Around night time, she was done. "Dang.. .those were some pretty tough clouds, even for ME." she said. She still had quite a bit of energy left. "...What the heck. I think I'll just go blow off all this extra energy and fly up in very high altitudes." she stated. She flew up, fast as lightning as she would usually do, and felt the pressure in the air tighten.

    Eventually, she got to the perfect altitude for her to survive anyway."Alright...let's wing this thing!" she shouted. She started a countdown, starting from 3 to 0. "Three...two...o-" she was hit by a beam! The rainbow colored pony fell downwards at extreme speeds. "AAAAAHHHH!!!!!" she screamed.

    Not even able to fly back up, she seemed to have been shot in split through her right wing. She couldn't hear herself screaming, temporarily deaf. She didn't feel anything, obviously the wind being the only thing to really feel at the moment. She was completely helpless...not that anypony even knew what was happening, since everypony was already sound asleep in their homes.

    She eventually crashed into a tree, feeling extremely painful, especially because a beam shot her in the wing. Before she crash-landed, again, that is, she was already able to feel and hear. "Uuugh...ouch...what was that?!" she groaned, painfully. Rainbow Dash looked around. She couldn't tell where she had landed at all. Then she saw a barn and assumed she landed near Applejack's home.

    "Well...that fall still was pretty awesome...but I still wished that didn't happen..." she said. She tried to get back up, but her legs were too sore. "I guess I'll just have to rest here until Applejack and the others find me..." she continued. She went to sleep almost immediately. She still felt painful, but she made it through the night. She even had nightmares about the beam that struck her. As she slept, the moon stood in the sky, as if it was watching her.
