Devil

~At Canterlot~

SCREEEEEEEEECH!

The Mane 6 stepped off of the train and went on the path that led to the castle.

"Okay, when we get to the settlements, we should split up, They might still hate each other so we'll have to find out what the problem is between them and fix it. Okay?" Twilight said.

Wow. We must just have amazing luck. Fluttershy telepathically told Dash.

I know. Let's keep it that way.

After walking for about 10 minutes, the Mane 6 reached the castle.

"Good morning, Princess Twilight. What brings you and your friends to the royal castle, if I may ask?" A royal guard said as he bowed to Twilight.

"Good morning, sir. We just came here to talk about some things with Princess Celestia."

"Okay then, princess. Have a good day," the guard said as he stepped out of their way.

The Mane 6 walked down the hall to Princess Celestia's room. Suddenly, a cool breeze passed by.

"Woah. Did anyone feel that? Maybe they left the windows open or something." Applejack stated.

Little did Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, and Rarity know, that was more than a simple breeze.

Rainbow Dash...

I know. If he does anything to blow our cover, just try getting out of the situation. I don't want you to die.

When they finally reached the throne room, Celestia warmly greeted them.

"Good morning, girls. How was the trip?"

Twilight answered before anyone else. "It was good. So, do you have anymore information on the tribes?"

Celestia shook her head. "Sorry, but what I wrote to you is all my knowledge of the topic."

"It's okay! We can figure everything out for you! Right girls!" Pinkie Pie screamed while hopping around.

"Um...right. Anyway, Ah think we should get on with our mission." Applejack said.

"Right. Girls, line up in front of that wall. I'm going to teleport you individually."

"Oh! One more thing."

"Yes, Twilight?"

"We decided to split up by race since we don't know if the tribes are at war or not."

"Ok. I'll teleport you in pairs then."

Celestia started with the earth ponies. Applejack and Pinkie Pie dissppeared in only 5 seconds. Next were the unicorns. Finally, she started teleporting Dash and Fluttershy.

"Good luck, girls."

~In Pegasopolis~

There was a bright light illuminating an alleyway in what seemed like an abandoned town. When the light dimmed down, there were two figures standing in place of the light source.

"Ok, Flutters. You ready?"

"Mhm."

"Let's see what's changed in the last six years."

As they looked around, they saw that nothing changed. There were the same old run down shops, the same old criminals, and the same old abusive people. Yep, just like six years ago when they were ten.

As they walked further into the horrible town, they stopped at a small light blue house.

"I hope their okay..." Rainbow Dash said.

"C'mon then. Let's see if they're there."

"Alright."

They walked up to the house and pushed open the door. They heard the squeak of the door and footsteps.

"Hello?" Rainbow called out.

"Rainbow Dash?!"

Rainbow Dash looked into a bedroom and saw a red, orange, and yellow maned twenty year old-looking girl with eyes like her own.

"Iridecent?" Rainbow asked.

Iridecent and Rainbow Dash rushed towards each other and hugged.

"I-It's good t-to s-see you, D-Des." Rainbow choked on her own words and on the lump in her throat.

"I-It's great to s-see you too, Dash."

Fluttershy was crying in the background because of the touching scene in front of her.

After a few moments, they broke the hug and no one talked. Finally, Rainbow Dash broke the silence.

"Where's mom?"

"...Well...Dad happened. He found us. I was going to move, but then I decided to stay so that I didn't endanger anyone. We all have done enough of that as kids."

"I think you made the right choice," Fluttershy said, trying to lighten up the mood.

"Do you know where he went?" Dash asked.

"Yesterday when I saw him he flew towards the other kingdoms. I think one was called Equestria."

"Figures. We'll deal with that later. Now, let's just do what we used to." Dash suggested, looking at both of them with a mischievous grin.

"Sure." Fluttershy and Iridescent agreed.

~10 hours later (10:00 PM)

Rainbow Dash, Iridescent, and Fluttershy were laying on one large cloud in the outskirts of Pegasopolis, looking at the starry night sky. After about five minutes, all of them fell asleep. Suddenly, two dark figures teleported in front of the slumbering pegasi.

"Our daughters should know better not to let their guard down."

"Yeah, let's teach them a lesson."

The first figure walked towards Iridescent. He pressed down on her mouth and picked her up. She tried to squirm free, but he was too powerful. The second figure whispered to her.

"No daughters of mine will let their guard down. I still need you both alive...Hmm...Actually, I only need one of you alive." The figure, who is apparently Iridescent's father, created a sword with his power. Little did he know of the two girls behind him, but his partner did.  The partner threw Iridescent down and knocked her out. He then kicked Fluttershy towards Rainbow Dash, knocking them both off of the cloud. They flew back up just in time for Rainbow and Iridescent's dad to punch Rainbow square in the face, making her nose leave a trail of blood as Rainbow fell unconscious. Fluttershy flew to save Rainbow, but the other figure grabbed her wings and twisted them. A sickening crack and a terrified and pained scream filled the night sky.

"If you weren't my only daughter, you'd be dead. Consider yourself lucky."

He threw the now unconscious Fluttershy down while Dash and Des's dad threw Iridescent of the cloud.

~At sunrise~

Rainbow woke up with a horrible headache. She opened her eyes and immediately regretted it. She saw Fluttershy and Iridescent both lying in their own pool of blood next to the ocean. Dash looked down at herself and saw that she made her own little puddle of blood. Suddenly, thoughts from last night rushed into her mind.

"Oh no. What if they find Twilight, Pinkie, Rarity, or Applejack? Notgoodnotgoodnotgoodnotgood!" Rainbow panicked. She crawled over to her sister and shook her.

"Des...C'mon Des wake up. Come ON!" Iridescent started to wake up. "Des? Des, can you hear me?"

"D...Dash? Ugh, my head. What hap-" a look of realization came across her face, then a look of terror.

"Dash, go wake Fluttershy up and meet me back at the house." Iridescent flew off. Dash crawled over to Fluttershy and shook her. After a few moments, she finally woke up.

"R-Rainbow Dash?"

"You'll remember soon, just come on."

Rainbow helped Fluttershy up and flew carefully to the house. When they opened the door, Iridescent called them to her room.

"We need to leave as soon as possible. Any suggestions?"

"Um...maybe we can introduce you to our friends and we can all go back to Equestria." Fluttershy suggested.

"Hmm...I've got nothing so I think we should go with Fluttershy's plan." Rainbow Dash agreed.

"Okay, but we might put them in danger. Are you SURE you want to do that?"

"I guess we have no other choice since our friends would look for us if we left to go anywhere else." Rainbow Dash said.

"Okay, then. Where are your friends?" Iridescent asked.

"The other villages. It's not to far of a flight if we start out fast."

"Dash, you know that we shouldn't use our demon abilities. It can influence our transformations." Iridescent said.

"Then I guess we're going to have to travel for hours without rest to get to one of the villages by night."

"...Okay fine, but just this once." Iridescent said, defeated by Dash.

They all flew out of the house and traveled to the other villages at the speed of sound.

~The Unicorn Village~

"When do you think Dash and Shy will find us, sugar cube?" said Applejack.

"I don't know, maybe they ran into some trouble. The Unicorn Village elders did say that the Pegasus Village elders were the only village elders that wouldn't make peace with them." Twilight said.

"Hey! Is that them there?!" Pinkie said, pointing to three dots in the sky.

"Possibly, but there are three dots, so who are they with?"

The three dots approached so rapidly that all they saw were rainbows and a pink streak when the pegasi landed.

"I WON! WHAT? NO YOU DIDN'T! I DID! STOP COPYING ME!" Dash and Des were screaming at the same time. After a few moments, they burst out laughing.

"What...just happened?" Rarity asked.

Rainbow stood up after rolling on the floor laughing and helped Iridescent up. "We were racing, that's what."

"Dash, Shy, care to explain who your friend is?" Applejack said.

"Guys, this is my sister, Iridescent, and I found her visiting Pegasopolis for some research in Cloudsdale."

"Then we hung out for the day and came here." Fluttershy added.

"Well then, nice to meet you, Iridescent." Twilight said. Pinkie bumped Twilight out of the way to shake Iridescent's hand.

"NicetomeetyouMyfriendscallmePinkieorPinkiePieandsinceyou'renowofficiallymyfriendyoucancallmethosenames,too!Also,weshouldthrowyouaparty!"

Iridescent just stood there with her mouth hung open.

"Don't worry, dear, you'll get used to it." Rarity said, breaking the awkward silence.

"Okay..."

"Well anyway, let's get back to Canterlot to report to Princess Celestia," Twilight said.

"Sure," everyone said.
