Revenge of all Colours

Chapter 11
Broken Pieces of Harmony

It was almost in slow motion to Pinkamina, as Rainbow Dash descended upon her rapidly. The pink earth pony had no time to think, she instead relied on instinct. She quickly pulled as hard as she could on Applejack's lasso, pulling her in. Only one thing went through Pinkie's twisted mind, “If I'm going to die, I'm making sure you suffer Dash!”

And like a bolt of lightning, Dash was past them. Despite her speed approaching the ground, she landed gracefully. When the Pegasus turned to Pinkie she saw blood fly through the air, but it was not Pinkamina's blood.

Applejack fell to the ground, a crimson pool forming around her. Pinkamina stepped back chuckling, as Rainbow Dash stumbled to her fallen love.

“Applejack!” She called, but the golden earth pony never answered. The Pegasus held Applejack in her hooves, holding back her tears. She felt her friend slowly go cold.

Dash's heart pounded wildly and her breaths fell short, until her tears finally slipped from her grasp. Rainbow Dash buried her face into Applejack's chest, sobbing uncontrollably.

Celestia approached the pair, now conscious after her blow to the jaw. The Princes bowed her head to mourn the loss of not only a prized soldier of harmony, but a friend. Until the silence was broken by the bitter chuckling of Pinkamina.

Rainbow Dash slowly looked back at Pinkamina, her eyes blazing with fury behind her tears. Pinkamina spoke in a calm, taunting voice. “It's all your fault Dashie.... How does it feel to cut down the one person you love more than anything?”

Rainbow Dash put her head back down and quietly spoke to Celestia, showing her growing fury as a cold bitterness. “Bring her back....” The Princess recoiled in shock of the order Dash had given her.

She spoke back to the Pegasus in a harsh scolding manner. “Rainbow Dash, you must realize what you are asking of me! I cannot simply revive what is already de...”

Rainbow Dash looked up sharply at the Princess, interrupting her but still keeping her quiet, cold tone. “You... are the Princess of the sun... The Goddess we look up to... The leader we serve.... If you can't do what is needed for harmony.... Your worthless.....”

The Princess didn't move, Dash's words struck her harder than anything ever had. Celestia bowed her head and approached the fallen earth pony. “I.... I do know one spell. But it's forbi...”

Rainbow Dash interrupted her again, what ever could bring Applejack back to her. She didn't care. “Then do it!” Rainbow Dash's eyes shot through Celestia like lighting.

Celestia lowered her head and rested her horn on Applejack's forehead. “This will take some time.” The Princess's horn glowed a light yellow.

“You have time... I'll be busy....” Rainbow Dash stood up and faced Pinkamina, the earth pony's grin still menacing and ear to ear. But Rainbow Dash felt nothing, she thought nothing. She was completely focused on her goal. She had time to worry about everything else later.

Pinkamina cocked her head, still keeping her grin. “Well that's a new face! Did I hit you a little too hard that time? Do you think were playing a little too rough!?” Pinkamina threw her head back laughing.

Pinkamina felt a smashing pain in her gut and she coughed up blood. Rainbow Dash was already flew in and kicked her with her front right hoof. Rainbow Dash never raised her head, “I don't know, you tell me...”

Pinkamina attempted to strike back but Dash grabbed her attacking leg and snapped it. The pink earth pony wailed in pain as Rainbow Dash rapidly assaulted her, striking with her hooves and breaking the remaining three limbs.

Pinkamina couldn't read her movements, Dash was relying on instinct and adrenaline. The earth pony silently cursed and fell to the ground, her teeth grit sucking in the pain.

Pinkamina started to giggle again, mocking Rainbow Dash. “How does it feel Rainbow Dash!? The thrill of beating, the rush of killing! You aren't that far from me now! Tremble in fear, soon you'll just be another Cupcake killer!”

The Pegasus never even flinched, “No... I'm not like you at all. Pinkie Pie is my friend, these are my friends.... You are my enemy. And until Pinkie Pie's back...” Rainbow Dash picked up Pinkamina and threw the earth pony over her shoulder. “I will teach you fear!”

Rainbow Dash rocketed off into the sky. As she pierced clouds rain began to fall from the sky. The Pegasus carried Pinkamina higher than she had ever flown before. Pinkamina looked into Rainbow Dash's eyes, her evil smile never left. “Killing me won't change anything! Pinkie Pie, Canterlot's citizens. Applejack... They're still gunna be dead when we touch ground!”

Rainbow Dash lazily looked back into Pinkamina's eyes and sighed. “No..... But it's a start!”

The Pegasus began to plummet back down, still carrying Pinkie but now holding her out front so she would take the impact. Rainbow Dash began to spin. Slowly at first but soon her spinning built up so mush speed it caused a tornado. The base of the tornado covered Rainbow Dash and Pinkamina as the top reached past the Heavens.

A mach cone began to form around the two ponies. As it slowly began to close the two began to feel squished and stretched. By this time Rainbow Dash had created a storm, Lighting and heavy rain fell from the sky at the tornado slowly descended to the ground.

Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rarity had also awakened and were watching the chaotic sky as Celestia continued to pour her energy into Applejack. As Rainbow Dash neared the impact the mach cone had reached its limit. The tornado exploded and a massive rainbow shock wave emerged from the shards of spinning wind.

The colorful shock wave engulfed Rainbow Dash's storm and cleansed the air. As the large rainbow passed over the city it shook houses and shattered every remaining window.

Rainbow Dash's speed instantaneously doubled and she immediately hit the ground, crashing both her self and Pinkamina into the ground. The earth cracked open and beams of rainbow light shot from the enormous spits in the earth.

When the city finally stopped shaking and the beams of light reseeded back into the earth, only a wall of dust and smoke covered the damages to the city. When the dust cleared a cyan hoof grabbed onto the ledge and pulled her self up onto the unscathed ground, still carrying Pinkie Pie. Dash lied the pink earth pony into the ground and ran to her friends.

She immediately ran to Applejack's body and held her. Celestia backed away with her head down, Rainbow Dash watched the Princess back away and felt her heart sink. Until she felt movement in her hooves.

Applejack slowly adjusted to a more comfortable angle and opened her eyes. She spoke in a weak, pained tone “Hey Sugarcube.....”

Rainbow Dash looked up to the Princess with wide teary eyes and an open smile. The Princess bowed and weakly smiled back. The Pegasus hugged Applejack, everything felt complete again.

The sobbing was interrupted by a weak giggle coming from the crater Rainbow Dash made. All of them got up and ran to the hole to find Pinkie Pie lying there, smiling up at them. “Th-thank you...”

Her body was broken and weak she couldn't move and her breaths were scratchy. Dash flew down and held Pinkie Pie's head up as she coughed up blood. Pinkie Pie looked around at her friends surrounding her and smiled. “Everyone.... I'm so happy to have met all of you....”

The dying earth pony looked at Rarity weakly but kindly. “Rarity... Keep making those beautiful dresses... Try to make them look for fun though...” Pinkie Pie chuckled a little but a violent cough interrupted her. Rarity could only nod and smile, her tears restrained her from saying anything eligible.

Pinkie looked at Fluttershy next, “Fluttershy.... Take care of your animals and look after gummy for me... Don't forget to stand up for your self.... Your a beautiful and kind pony and deserve the best...”

Fluttershy's tears flowed uncontrollably and she answered between hyperventilating gasps. “I will... Thank you....”

Pinkie Pie looked over to Twilight next, “Twilight Sparkle.... You have a wonderful gift..... Never let anyone tell you otherwise.... You are the most talented Unicorn in all of Equestria....”

Twilight covered her eyes with her hooves and weakly replied, “Thank you....”

Pinkie looked over to Applejack next and gave her a wink, “Don't let Rainbow Dash wreck your orchard with her stunts....” Applejack giggled and tipped her hat down, hiding her tears. Pinkie Pie sighed and continued her speech.

“Take care of Rainbow Dash.... She's not allowed to do anything else stupid....” Applejack giggled a little harder as Rainbow Dash attempted to protest, but Dash didn't follow through and let her friend continue.

Pinkie Pie looked up at Rainbow Dash with tears in her eyes, “Rainbow Dash.... Thank you..... You really are the fastest.... Your too good for the Wonder Bolts....” Dash blushed and gave a small smile, but she couldn't reply. All her energy was focusing of sucking her tears back.

The dying earth pony looked up at Princess Celestia, “Take care of them...”

Celestia bowed as a tear fell from her cheek onto the ground, “With my last breath Pinkie Pie.”

Pinkie let out another spasm of violent coughs that startled the group, but she fell silent and calm again. “Oh... and one more thing....” She back up to Applejack and Rainbow Dash, “You two look really cute together...”

Pinkie gave them both her biggest smile, and Applejack and Rainbow Dash looked back at each other blushing. When their eyes returned to Pinkie Pie the twinkle in her eyes went out, and her body went limp. Pinkie Diane Pie, Element of laughter, and the most cheerful pony in Equestria, was dead.

Rainbow Dash closed Pinkie's eyes and laid her down on the ground. Rainbow Dash carried her to Celestia's tower as the other five gathered all the survivors and started cleaning up the town.

Rainbow Dash laid her fallen friend down on the bed and looked tiredly at Pinkie Pie. “Pinkie Pie.... You were a good friend.... always happy... always cheering us up when we were sad.... or making us feel strong when we were weak... Were gunna miss you....”

Rainbow Dash gave her a respectful kiss on the forehead and left to help the others clean up the city. When she arrived out side the work was already almost done. With all the Unicorns with magic in Canterlot the work was allot easier.

Rainbow Dash found her friends and joined them in a mourning circle. She spoke up among the others and reminded them of what was good. “It'll be ok guys... She's in a better place now... I miss her too... But now she can be happy again!”

The other four friends gave Dash a small smile and they all grouped together for a hug and they all spoke together, saying their goodbyes to their lost friend.

“Good bye Pinkie... Your smile will be with us forever...”
