Revenge of all Colours

Chapter 2

Meet your Maker

"Dash wake up! it is time to see!

I implore you, please find me!

I have all the answers you seek!

Please come when the moon is at peek

Rainbow Dash awoke with a jolt as the message echoed in her ears. "Zecora?", Dash began to question if her mind had deteriorated in the ground. Dash would recognize that voice anywhere. And the rhyming always irritated her slightly. Somehow she contacted her through her dream, and most importantly, she knew Dash was alive! Dash looked up at the moon, it was about an hour from hitting its peak. And the Everfree Forest was about an hours walk. Coincidence? Dash was quite skeptical at this point but figured that anyone who not only knew she was alive but would contact her through magic had to know something!

So Rainbow Dash set off to the forest, mildly grumpy from having her nap disturbed. She did not require sleep but she still enjoyed the odd nap. Dreams are always kinder than reality. She dreamed of her friends. All of them, before these dark times. Before Pinkie Pie became consumed by Pinkamina and killed Rainbow Dash, before she awoke with nothing more than questions and an idea. But now maybe some of those questions will be answered.

Rainbow missed her wings. She had only been walking 10 minutes but it was the longest she had ever walked for as long as she could remember. Her wings were not just a part of her body, but her very heart and soul. She began to question if Pinkie took anything else from her. Organs? Bones? She did not feel like it but of course, nothing was really right with her lately.

She knew that it was going to be a very long depressing walk for her tonight.

After what might as well been months of walking, she arrived at Zecora's hut. Dash knocked on the door. "Please come in! And we will begin!"

The rhyme made Dash cringe, it reminded her of those stupid fillies books her parents used to read her, she never really liked them at all. She pushed open the door and saw Zecora's usual collection of strange objects. Everything from Tiki masks to old hollowed out animal bones. Zecora greeted her with another rhyme and told her to take a seat. being ever more irritated from her words but tried to be as polite as possible despite the fact she needed information. Zecora poured them tea, handed one to Dash and sat down in a chair across from her. "So Rainbow Dash you look good! Much more than you really should!"

Dash couldn’t take the annoying small talk anymore, she needed answers, and the questions for them all seemed to burst out of her mouth at once! "How did you know Im alive? How am i alive? What do you want from me?"

The zebra held up a hoof to silent the blabbering Pegasus, and only chuckled at her impatience. "I can see you need answers so i will make it straight and clear, for for my time too may be drawing near!" Rainbow Dash sat up in her chair waiting for the story she's been waiting for. "It is I who brought you back from the dead, the one who put you together, arms, legs and head."

Rainbow Dash was almost knocked back in shock by the sudden answer, but she did not dare interrupt Zecora's speech, she needed all the information she could get.

"I know about Pinkie Pie i have experienced it first hoof, when she killed my brother visiting under my roof. She tied me down and made me see, as she spilled his blood all over me." The zebra bean to tear as she continued her story, Dash wanted to comfort her but was afraid she would miss some of the story. "Then she grabbed my head, looked me in the eyes and said, no one will believe you, and when i done playing ill kill you too!"

Zecora was completely weeping now and Dash couldn’t hold it any longer. She dashed to her and hugged her, and Zecora returned it. after a moment of silence She was ready to continue her story.

"I told the police but no one believed me, I told the town but they only threw rocks at me. She was correct in saying no one would believe, Who would suspect Equestria's happiest pony to have something up her sleeve." Dash began to shake with anger. So she did get away with it! "Then a few days ago, she disappeared and now the laws suspicion grow. I needed help to find the killer, and put an end to this sick thriller!"

Rainbow Dash sat at the end of her chair, everything was beginning to fall together. "So why me?" she asked almost regretfully.

Zecora looked at the ground and sighed. "You are the only one to truly know Pinkie Pie now, both sides of her mind, every friendly secret and vow. You are the fastest there is, the only trouble you should have is turning her back into the Pinky we all miss."

Dash chuckled to her self, "I'm nothing without my wings, how am i supposed to do anything without them?" Dash began to shed another tear she quickly swiped away, there is no more time for tears.

Zecora stood up before Dash could react Zecora slit her throat!

Utter shock and fear took Rainbow Dash, but then her wound closed and healed as fast as it was cut. Rainbow Dash was speechless Zecora only chuckled to her self, stood up and walked towards a chest on a table. "Do you like? That is the spell of Black Ike!"

Dash looked up at her furious, "What the hell have you done to me!?"

The zebra looked at Rainbow Dash with a cold stare that made Dash shutter, "You are no longer living nor dead, all your wounds will heal before they have bled. This new body is best, for your up coming quest!" Zecora grabbed the chest and set it in front of Dash. "If you think i would send you out without proper tools, you are as smart as all the other ponyville fools.

Dash raised an eyebrow and opened the chest.

She could not believe her eyes, inside the chest her her very wings and cutie marks Pinkie had stolen from her! Dash looked up to Zecora with watering eyes, "How did you get these!?"

Zecora smiled and confessed, "I broke into Pinkies house after she left, i found them and committed theft. I knew you'd want them back, let me help you put them on your back!" The zebra grabbed the wing in Dash's and held it to her back, the skin reached out to each other and melded. as with the other wing and cutie marks. With ever piece she returned Dash began to feel more whole and her self. "Those stitches you carry they too will heal over time, soon it will all be like a bad memory, just another hill to climb."

Rainbow Dash turned around and hugged Zecora, Zecora could feel the warm tears trickle down her coat from Dash. She promised to her self she wouldn’t cry anymore, but she has never been more thankful to anyone for anything in her whole life. Zecora returned what she was so scared she had lost forever, the parts of her that were not just her body but her very soul and life. She was once again Rainbow Dash!

After a few heart felt moments she said her good byes to Zecora and took to the skies. With a fire in her eyes she was ready to take on the world once more!
