Rainbow Slash’s Back Story

Rainbow Dash was a young teenager that lived in the city of Cloudsdale. However, one day at horrible accident took place. Rainbow Dash killed herself after she defeated the Ursa Major from destroying her friend’s home, Ponyville. After she defeated it, she wanted to show off some other tricks up her sleeves. She darted into the air at such a rapid speed that right after she did her famous Sonic Rainboom, she flew right into the sound barrier.

________________________________________________
“Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!” The crowd cheered in happiness.
Rainbow Dash smiled smugly as the Ursa Major began to walk back into the forest.
“Thank you! Thank you!” She cried. “For my next trick, ill attempt the most awesome, AMAZING Rainboom you have ever seen!” To Rainbow Dash all of this was to impress the crowd, but things were going to be much worse. She was going to shock the crowd beyond their wildest nightmares. Beyond anything they had ever experienced in their lives. Even worse than the Ursa Major.
She flew high into the air and did a double flip, slowly she built up speed, preparing to do an extremely difficult trick she had been practising. A Triple Rainboom. Her mane and tail slowly became one as a white shield surrounded her. ‘Nearly there.’ She thought to herself. ‘You can do it.’

She didn’t.
The white barrier around Dash started to fade and her mane and tail became one again. Her legs began to dislocate and her arms ripped from the pure strength against her body.
She was going to hit the sound barrier.
Rainbow Dash exploded in a bloody mess all over the crowd. Some ponies started screaming. Some were crying. But only six ponies were doing a mix of both. Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Scootaloo.
“Rainbow Dash!” Scootaloo screamed in horror, her eyes flooding with tears.
“Will she be alright?” Pinkie asked. Her hair made a small popping noise as it began to leak like a balloon, and the colours of her body faded.
“It’s no use!” Rarity cried. “There’s no way she’d be alive after that!”
“Well we jus’ gotta hope fer it.” Applejack said, lowering her cowgirl hat.

______________________________________________
Twilight Sparkle and her friends rushed towards the scene where Rainbow Dash’s limp body had landed.
Her mane was in knots, her bones were crushed and her body was all over the place.
______________________________________________

“R-Rainbow Dash............” Scootaloo whispered.
“We arrived as fast as we could girls....” Twilight said as she lowered her head.
“But we didn’t make it..........” Rarity cried.
“In enough time t’ save er’.” Applejack said.
“And now she’s far away.....” cried Pinkie.
Fluttershy sat in the middle of all of the depressed ponies, but she hadn’t cried a drip. She turned towards Rainbow Dash’s head. It was still smiling. Fluttershy burst into tears almost drowning the other ponies. Then she suddenly stopped.
“That’s it!” She cried with a very determined expression that other ponies don’t usually see on her shy face.
“What is it Fluttershy?” Twilight asked, more curious than ever before. “Let’s hurry to the tree house! ASAP!” Fluttershy yelled as she run away almost as fast as Rainbow Dash.

________________________________________________
Twilight and her remaining friends ran after Fluttershy to the tree house. Fluttershy explained that Twilight could use her magic to bring Rainbow Dash back to life. The ponies ran back to the crash landing and looked for parts of Rainbow Dash. It was a messy job, so no other pony in town except for Big Mac and Apple Bloom would offer help. After they had collected all the pieces they could find, they rushed back to Twilight’s place. Twilight attempted to bring Dash back to life, but with no luck.
“Hmm..... Maybe this will work, no that doesn’t go there.”
It had been three straight hours and everybody was tired, even Pinkie had lost her sugar rush.
“Twilight?” Rarity yawned. “Can we try tomorrow darling? My hair hasn’t been brushed for 5 hours and it’s getting knots like hers!” She pointed towards Applejacks hair.
“Ma hair aint messy!” Applejack yelled back.
“It is so!” Rarity growled.
Applejack and Rarity started having a flail fight.
Fluttershy sighed, “Girls, we have to remember we ARE doing this for Rainbow Dash.”
Rarity turned to Applejack. “She’s right Applejack. We have to stay here for Rainbow.”
The two shook hooves and walked to opposite sides of the room.
“Girls!” Twilight came rushing down the stairs. “I need to say something!”
Everypony looked at Twilight in a hopeful way.

Twilight’s head drooped. “There is no spell in any of the books I have that can bring back the dead.”
“Awww.....” Everypony said in forlorn.
“How many books did ya have?” Asked Applejack.
“Four hundred and seventy two. Why?”
“OH NO!” Fluttershy screamed.
“What? What is it?” Asked Everypony else.
“All of my poor animals back at home are probably waiting for me! I-I told them I would be back soon.... but then the thing...... and Dash.....” Fluttershy started tearing up.
Twilight put a hoof on her shoulder. “It’s okay Fluttershy. Big Macintosh? Can you look after the animals please?” Twilight yelled.
“Eeyup.” A sturdy sounding voice replied. Big Macintosh slowly walked his way out the door.
“Thanks Twilight.” Fluttershy replied as she hugged Twilight.
“You can all leave now.” Twilight yelled across the library.
“Okay Twi!” Applejack yelled. “See ya tomorrow!”

Twilight Sparkle spent the next three months working.
Locking herself away from her friends was hard, but she had to bring Dash back. The only friend she spent time with was Spike, her faithful assistant.
“Dear Princess Celestia,” Twilight began saying as Spike wrote it down on a scroll. “This week I learnt a very important lesson about friendship. Although friendships can be wonderful, sometimes you have to deal with more important objectives. I’m not saying I don’t like having friends, but occasionally once in a while I have to work on something. You’re faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle.”
Twilight turned to Spike and nodded.
Spike blew a green fire out of his mouth and the letter was sent off to the Princess.
“So, Twilight how are you doing today?” Spike asked.
“Very well Spike.” Twilight answered.
“In fact, I am nearly ready.” Twilight ran up to a table lying in the middle of the Library.
“I just need some more hair. I personally think I have enough.”
Twilight began cutting off her hair, soon her mane was as short as Dumb Bell’s.
Twilight used her magic to fuse her hair with Rainbow Dash’s.
“Hmm... not enough.... I know!” Twilight ran over to her desk and grabbed a quill. She began to write. “Dear Princess Luna, I know this may sound a bit weird, but three months ago, a terrible accident happened in Ponyville. Rainbow Dash saved our town from an Ursa Major on a rampage; sadly, in the process she killed herself. I am trying to bring her back to life, but I don’t have enough hair that would look normal on her. Can you send me a small portion of yours?
Your sister’s faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle.”
‘......Man, that was awkward to write....’ She thought.

____________________________________________
Twilight waited for hours just for a simple “yes” or “no” answer. She didn’t except it to take that long, so she decided to read a few books in her spare time.
Finally, the letter arrived.
____________________________________________

“Dear Twilight Sparkle,” Twilight says as she reads the letter out loud. “Why didn’t you just tell me in the first place? Here is a sample of my mane.” Twilight pulled a long, glowing, beautiful blue piece of mane. “Be careful though, I heard using other ponies hair on another pony could affect their personality. Good luck!
Your other faithful teacher,
Princess Luna.”
________________________________________________

Twilight Sparkle carefully arranged the hair into the right order, until it was done. Soon Rainbow Dash was nearly back. The only thing Twilight needed now was an extremely powerful spell. This spell was only ever performed by Star Swirl the Bearded, so there was a high risk as according to the legends the spell was very dangerous. However, Twilight knew she had to do something to bring back Dash, the element of loyalty.
_______________________________________________

“Nearly there....” Twilight grunted as her horn glowed brighter than Celestia’s Sun. “Just a bit more.....” Suddenly, a blinding flash covered the library. It flew out the windows and across Ponyville. Ponies and small animals all hid from the blinding light. The flash was so strong that a few animals with sensitive eyes got temporarily blind.

Author's Note

This is defiantly my favorite fanfics from me, written for a friend, who had created a version of Rainbow Dash, called Rainbow Slash. Her 'normal' backstory was her being turned into cupcakes, but I decided to go more show canon and go with an Ursa Major.
