Chapter 2 Cloudsdale

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

We were soaring though the are air pretty easy. Dash was expecting me to be slow but I prove her wrong.
"You pretty fast I got to said I thought I would have to wait for you" Rainbow said.
"Really I thought I would have to wait for you" I said
"Than you want to race to Cloudsdale we only have to go straight from here"
"You're on"
We went as fast as we could. We were neck to neck but she was holding back and so am I. My only problem was that I forgot to stop.
I crash into a building and I could hear Rainbow laughing but It wasn't her it was a white pegasus. She look pretty much like Pinkie but a pegasus.
"You ok?" she asked.
"It's a cloud how am I hurt" I said.
"That true buuuuuuut you're stuck aren't you."
"Yeah mind helping Mis-"
"Surprise"
"Mind helping Surprise"
"Sure"
Surprise pushed while I felt Rainbow pulling me. It about ten seconds flat to get me out. "Thanks Surprise you too Rainbow"
"Wait Rainbow Dash?" she asked.
"Surprise haven't seen you since the academy" she said.
"Wait you two know each other?" I asked.
"Yeah we know from that academy now what was it called again" Rainbow said.
"I always called it Dash academy I don't know why it just is" Surprise said.
"Those were the time"
"Sorry to interrupt your little get to together but you have a orb and I wanted back" I said rudely.
"You like this orb" Surprise said while bringing it out. "You can have it because I don't need it I just felt like holding on to it" she said.
"Thanks to you where I can get more" I asked.
"There's a tag team contest happening today and the prize is some orbs and backstage passes to the next Wonderbolts show" she said.
"Sweet come on Frankie let's enter" Rainbow said while grabbing me by the bandanna and rushing towards the sign up sheets.
"What I forgot to tell Glida is in it" Surprise try to shout but Rainbow didn't listen.

We just made it to the sign up. I look at who we have to face. It was just some ponies that don't really stand a chance but the things I did take note was two of Rainbow's friends were competing, Hoops & Score, and Glida & Lighting Dust. What I remember Glida and Lighting Dust isn't Rainbow's friends anymore and the Hoops and Score could always cook up trouble even more trouble when their leader Dumb-bell isn't competing. I told Rainbow Dash to watch out but she already was told Rainbow Blaze and his assistant Firefly who was also Dash's friend. The first few matches were easy but somepony call me out for cheating just because I match to Rainbow's speed and who called me out was Dumb-bell. Dash still did fine on her own but I asked Surprise to help us out by blocking Dumb-bell to yell false reasons. The next day the matches are supposed to be harder. Before we go for the match against Hoops and Score we were told to go to a special room to get dress in anti-lighting suit. The special room was that it was made out of cement so if a thunder cloud somehow get in it won't hurt as much as it being surround by clouds but how they put it on cloud is up to you. When we try to leave the door was stuck.
"Oh course that would happen" I said.
"What can't open a simple door, Frankie" Rainbow said.
"You try opening it"
"Fine" she try to open it but it wouldn't it.
"Simple door, Rainbow" I said.
"It stuck now what the game start's in ten minutes and takes us five minutes to get there" she said.
We were stuck and my powers aren't that strong even teleporting doesn't work because there's a spell that blocks teleporting. I took me a couple of minutes to figure a out a plan. I took off my suit and wrap around gun powder I had probably from creepers. I place my suit near the the door and set it on fire. The explosion wasn't loud but it did break the door. We rush to the match.

"If, Rainbow and Frankie doesn't make in the next minute they forfeit the match" said the announcer.
Come on Rainbow it not like you to chicken out Rainbow Blaze thought to himself. Everypony was worrying about what happen to us.
"It looks like, Rainbow chicken out" Dumb-bell said.
"No we didn't" I said.
"Oh good you here but you can't enter without a suit so I have to-"
"No I don't It's not in the rules"
The referee look at the rule book and didn't find a rule stating.
"Ok it's you can enter" the ref said.
I get to the halfway point waiting on Rainbow. Rainbow has to be at the starting line to pass me the horseshoe. She has to deal with some lighting and a lot of wind blowing at her. I have to deal with al lot of lighting strikes without a suit so I'm pretty screwed. When I was look behind me I saw Dumb-bell throwing dust at Rainbow Dash with cause her to move out of balance and leaded her to get stuck by lighting at a expose spot. I rush to her and grab her and the horse shoe than I quickly let her off near the midpoint because that's where the closest medic team is. I resumed the raced but far behind. Since they cheated I gave myself a little handicap. I use my air blending the let me flow though the wind easily and let Hoop feel the strong breeze blowing him back. Douching the lighting wasn't time and I got stuck by lighting three times already but it didn't hit my head or wings so I be fine, not really it hurt like hell and trust I been to hell so I know when I use this passage. It was getting close and my tail was caught on fire which lead to my wings getting set on fire. We were neck to neck and when we both crossed the line I kind of trolled him. There were cameras that automatic take pictures of what happens when somepony cross it's area of vision. When the announcer look at the pictures his jawed drop.
"Well Frankie and Rainbow Dash won that by a long shot" he said. Everypony was confused because of this information and soon yell how.
" Yes umm... you see in these pictures Frankie went over the ribbon and did some posed and then jump back just to be in at the same spot as Hoop" the announcer said. Everypony jawed dropped when they heard this. Many didn't believed this but when they walked up to see the pictures their jawed dropped again. After a couple of minutes Dumb-bell call me out for cheating and many believed this but Rainbow Blaze saw him interfered with the match and since the other team still lost Blaze didn't disqualified us. He also prove that no magic was being played because of this a magic force field blocking out any magic cast by unicorn or alicorn. We were in the safe house now and we had one last match and it's against Glida and Lighting Dust.

Two days past since the match with Hoop and Score. They still setting up the final round. Me and Rainbow took these days resting instead of training. We were still hurt from that last match. I was healing from pulled muscles, burns, and lighting strikes. Rainbow was healing from just a lighting strike but I wonder why is she staying instead of training her wounds should be done by now and she didn't pull anything. I didn't give much thought because we had guests which wasn't a surprise but it's just all her friends. Sooner or later a call was made to have the last two teams go to the main area. We headed there and found an a arena. The last event was a duel when first team to lose both players by knotting them out of the arena or they pinned the other person with their weapons are out. I used a two-hoofed sword while Rainbow went with a rapier and on the other team Glida used claws while Lighting went with a spear. All these weapons were enchanted to cause non-physical damage but it still hurt. We were more in a disadvantage because I'm not fully heal.

The match started with me rushing. I quickly slash at Glida but of course she blocks it. I keep slashing at her hoping she give in but she didn't. Rainbow went after Lighting and they had a air battle with Rainbow in a disadvantage because of Lighting holding the long range weapon. Glida soon grab my sword and then it went flying behind her. I quickly did CQC with Glida. I didn't expect that I fought so well. She did found a opening and she starting to beated the crap out of me. Rainbow came to the rescue by throwing my sword at her. I went behind her and grab her tail and started swinging.
"Go make out with your partner" I said and then launching her into her partner. I rush at them but they ignore me and went for Rainbow Dash. She didn't stand a chance. Great I thought to myself I had to face two people again. I charge to Lighting and when she try to thrust with the spear I caught it with a foot. I took advantage of the no open wounds thing and punch her close of falling off the stage. I than quickly lifted Rainbow up.
"Why just leave me I to injured to do anything" she said.
"No way it isn't over until the ref calls it now come on don't you want those backstage passes" I said to her.
She soon got back into it and we face Glida together. I followed her lead and soon knot her out. Then we face Glida and tag team her. She soon got out and we won. I was kinda disappointed in how that ended but we got the prizes.

There was an night after party for all those who help or participate in the event. It was nice but I got into a fight with Rainbow Dash.
"I could finish faster if you won't in the way" she said.
"What are you talking about you won't last without me" I said.
"I could have broken out on my own and finish the race and battle by myself easily because I'm that awesome."
"Just you said your awesome doesn't mean you are."
"You know what." Rainbow Dash said.
"What?" I asked.
"Your stupid I bet your parents doesn't want to see you anymore" and that comment piss me off.
"My parents are dead kill right in front of my eyes when I was young and there was nobody to teach me anything not even my brother" I shouted at her.
Then hole place got silence that somepony stop the song.
"I'm sorry-" she try to said but I flew away in tears.
I flew to a nearby factory. I don't know if Rainbow followed or not I just want to be alone.

I walking in what I believe a shut-down rainbow factory. This place was creepy but I need to get my mind off of her and I have to be collecting orbs. This has the smell of death and I don't know why. There was red stuff on the walls. My goggles scan the red stuff and there is blood but not that much so I'm guessing an accident happen and not somepony slowly killing innocent kids and turning them into a rainbow. I walked around for a couple minutes and a found a few orbs. I reach to the bottom of the factory and I was surprise of what I saw. It was the immortal phoenix. Once you defeated it moves to another dimension and waits to recover. I never really seen one in person before so this is pretty exiting. I notice it had a very big orb and it's not a wish seed or anything. I flew down to get the orb but when I got close to it and it woke up. Well this can't get any worse.

Rainbow Dash's Regretful POV

Oh crap I better follow him to say sorry. Why did I say that to him anyways so I thought back on why we fight. Frankie was talking with Glida and Lighting Dust and I guess I got jealous, wait why would I think jealous first than betrayal. Why am I thinking about jealousy at all, stop brain just think on finding Frankie and saying sorry. I travelled in his direction for a while and then another thought pop up. Was Frankie being serious about his parents dying, I mean that I never really knew about my parents but Rainbow Blaze been there for me most of the time but Frankie was alone. He didn't had help or anything he was on his own. I continue this thought until I see Frankie enter the abandon rainbow factory. I try to shout out to him but he didn't, I got to remember to knot those ears of his clean so someone awesome as me don't repeat myself. So I flew there and went inside. I know he was fast on the ground but what the hay he's already going down but who knows how much. I walked around the rainbow factory and some strange reason I been here a lot but I never enter this place before. Being creep out on how much red there is I quickly went to find Frankie. I went down and when I mean down I mean the bottom floor. There only one place left to check but before I enter I heard a screech. I enter the room and saw Frankie and a green phoenix.

Frankie's sad POV

I quickly fly up in a panic because I don't have that much room to fight it. When I reach my only exit route I saw Rainbow Dash at the doorway. I felt like leaving her with the phoenix but a part of my said to save her even if I lose everything. I picked her up and start leaving the place with the flaming phoenix hot on my tail.
"Frankie why aren't you teleporting? she asked.
"This is more fun and also I panic" I such an idiot, really who thinks of this stuff. I quickly kept on moving even if my body told me to stop because of the games. We made it out just before the phoenix just wreck everything about that creepy factory. I let go of Rainbow Dash on a nearby cloud so I can fight the phoenix. I like in crisis mode right now so probably going to be finish in one hit but I finish all twenty-five chapters on nine intensity so I can to this. Since I can fly it made so easy because that phoenix did moves I already knew. That battle only took ten seconds flat really it was that easy. "Hey Rainbow are you ok?" I asked
"Yeah but did-"
"Trust me I fought them in a different world so I know it's moves" and also I battled it in game as well. We stood for a hole two minutes when one of us broke the silence. "So hows it-"
"I'm sorry" Rainbow muttered.
"Huh."
"I said I'm sorry" Rainbow whispered.
"One more time."
"I SAID I'M SORRY" Rainbow shouted with a red face.
My jawed dropped. I never expected to her say those words unless it to one of her friends and remember she only came because she was worried I would wreck Cloudsdale. Luckily for her there was nopony here to hear it but I still laugh at that.
"Stop laughing I'm being serious" Rainbow said.
"Sorry about that I never see someone like you to say sorry to a parent-less loser like me". I feel like I just stabbed Rainbow Dash with a guilt attack and it was super effective.
"..." Rainbow Dash became silent after my comment about the parent-less loser.
"So why did you come?" I asked.
"I told you to come to say I'm sorry."
"No you not and don't say it because the other ponies told you to go apologize because your were such jerk because that wasn't a good enough reason."
"Ummm it's because, your parents"
"Yeah so my parents are dead big deal, I somehow got my mom dead on mother's day and my dad on father's day I'm over it they dead when I was very young so it doesn't matter I bet your parents treat you better" I said.
"I don't have any parents" Rainbow said.
"What"
"I don't have parents."
"Really?"
"Really."
My jaw drop again. I know people don't talk about her parents and people thought Rainbow Blaze was her father but that wasn't true.
"What about Rainbow Blaze?" I asked, wanting to know if something is true or not.
"Rainbow Blaze is my mentor but I guess you can see him a father because of the rainbow hair and he has teach me everything I know."
"I guess your the lucky one to have someone like a father."
"Why is that?"
"My brother was to busy to take care of me and he tried to used his fortune to hire people to deal with my problems but I didn't like it and so or later I decided to ran away from home."
"You ran away from home, how did you care of yourself."
"I made friends and so or later we form a team to protect the weak and crush the corrupted, your know like a hero but with more destruction, and explosions a lot of explosions."
"Aren't you worry about dying?"
"It's first others, than love ones, than team mates and besides it's not like we can die because were kinda overpowered."
"What's not overpowered?"
"If you not overpowered your probably died than."
"Really?"
"Really why else to you think we protect the weak."
"Why would people do that?"
"My guess it's because that anyone has energy they could use to get more power."
"Wow you live a stressful life"
"And you care why?" her face went red again when I asked.
"Uhhh... hey let's get going on collecting those orbs or yours."
"Fine I'm done here anyway time to go to uhh... AppleLoosa."
We soon told everypony that we leaving and we all said our goodbyes. We left next morning and we flew all the way there.
