One year later

Rainbow Dash woke up from her bed in her apartment in Manehatten. The room was cold and dark as usual. It was the"best" the government could spare for her. It was a small apartment with basic essentials a bed, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Rainbow Dash knew it wouldn't get any better since the case one year ago. She knew she could never have a cloud house like the one she had in Ponyville. In a way it was better than the guards barracks, she had her own bathroom and a larger personal space, but she has no one to talk to now.

Ever since the trial ended Rainbow Dash hasn't seen any of her friends. They were put under protection and they slowly lost trust in Dash. But that was in the past, now Dash has to focus on reality. The government gives her money for food, rent, and other nesecities because as part of the penalty she is not permitted to have a job. Judge Duty figured that if Rainbow Dash had a job she would rebel like she did when she was a guard. "I guess it's for the best" Rainbow Dash sighed in a depressing tone to herself.

CLOP CLOP CLOP CLOP...........KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Who's there?" asked Rainbow Dash. She assumed it was just another official checking on her. She opened the door and found, to her surprise, Princess Luna standing at her door. Rainbow Dash bowed in respect and confusion. Dash rarely had visitors, and most of them just came to drop off her money from the government.

"Rainbow Spectra Dash." said Luna, interrupting Rainbow's train of thought.
"Yes, your highness?" asked a very confused Dash.

"I want you to come with me." said Luna. "I am the head of a new project that I need you to help me with."

"You know that I can't, part of the penalty was that I can no longer interact with you or your sister!" replied Rainbow Dash.

"I am aware of that." Luna answered. "However, I also know that you feel like you are a bird trapped in a cage. I know you desperately want to come back to society, because you feel that you are wasting your life here in this rotting apartment."

"When do I start?" Rainbow Dash eagerly asked. She was starting to get excited. Rainbow Dash thought she would never get a second chance.

"I'm glad you've chosen this path Rainbow Dash" said Luna in a serious voice "But first we need to make your disapearance official. Tomorrow you will meet me in the Royal Canterlot Graveyard, but before you do that, you need to take care of your overwatchers".

She handed Dash a weapon she was very familiar with. Wing blades. They were popular with the royal guard and pegasus gangs alike, but these were not standard issue. These blades seemed to perfectly fit on Dash's wings and they were made of a black lighter material. "It's getting late, I'm going to have to leave you now Rainbow Dash, meet me at the graveyard entrance tomorrow as soon as the sun comes down".

"Understood". replied Rainbow Dash in a more official voice. After years of guard training she finally gained some level of dicipline. She still wondered why guard officials wanted to recruit her after two years of performing with the Wonderbolts, but that was all in the past and Rainbow Dash had a long night ahead of her.

She always knew where the two watchers were. It took her a while to figure out what they looked like, but now they stuck out to her. Keen was an all black pegasus with jade green eyes and she knew she didn't have to worry too much about him, but Dash does have to worry about Lin. Lin was a dark pony like Keen although Lin is a unicorn and very talented in close quarters using his magic to make his horn a sharp deadly blade. Rainbow Dash prepared for the upcoming fight by locating the pair and preparing her wing blades. The blades go on the front of the wings and hook back. They were simple, but effective even when flying. Unlike most wing blades the royal guard carry, these blades pivot and turn naturally with Rainbow Dashe's wings.

It was late enough that all the lights went out except for a few clubs and the street lights and that is when Rainbow Dash began her new objective. Dash wasn't exactly a veteran, but she has fought in multiple skirmishes with governmental revolutionaries and griffon soldiers disrupting borders between Equestria and the Griffon Kingdom. She olcked the blades to her wings and flew off into the night.

"Hey Lin, Rainbow Dash just took off!" yelled Keen who was a little sleep deprived considring he had been up all night observing Rainbow Dash. Lin woke up slowly figuring Keen was just playing another trick on him, but he did sense something bad was about to happen.

"Where did she go?" said Lin in a half sarcastic, half serious voice.

"I don't know she just took from her balcony and I lost sight of her. She flew over our building!" Keen exclaimed

"I'll go alert the director of observation" said Lin getting his magic ready to report to his comand.

"You don't need to do that guys, I'm right here. COME AND GET ME." said a voice who they were both very familiar with. Keen was the first to attack, he instictivly pulled out his knife with his mouth and attacked Rainbow Dash's wings, but of course he didn't realize that he was the one who was already under attack. Dash viciously tackled Keen and closed her wings in front of her to seperating her from Keen who was now pinned against the wall. Then Keen realized the situation and knew that this was the end, he couldn't reach his knife, it was knocked out of his mouth before he could even locate his target, he only hoped that Lin had sent a message to the direct/SLASH

"AHHHACK!" With a quick opening of her wings Rainbow Dash quickly diposed of her first enemy and located her next. Lin's train of thought was interuppted when he heard Keen scream in the other room. Lin focused on his horn and it became a sharp shadowy blade. Before Lin could even try to react the door was busted in and in the wreckage was a blue rainbow maned pegasus covered in blood. Lin faced his opponent and stood his ground, but unfortunatley the ground under him was disrupted when Rainbow Dash dove right under him and took him down.

"Wait!" screamed Lin trying to buy some time to save himself. "Rainbow Dash why are you doing this?" asked Lin who was shocked by this news.

"Orders" Dash answered in a monotonous voice.

"From who?" Lin asked. He was still dazed by the intial attack, but he quickly regained his senses and stood back up.

"You ask too many questions" and Rainbow Dash charged again at Lin. Lin anticipated this second attack and quickly lowered himself ready jump up and lunge at Rainbow Dash. The second Dash caught on to Lin's trap it was a second too late. Lin lunged at Dash and cut her upper torso and managed to cut a little of her left wing. Dash fell to the ground and bellowed in pain. Lin got up and charged at the seamingly helpless Rainbow Dash ready to finish the job. CRACK

Lin felt a sharp pain in his chest realizing that Dash's good wing had pierced his rib cage. His outer chest was covered in blood and he slowly collapsed to the floor. Rainbow Dash picked herself off the floor and found the watcher's first aid kit. She tended to her wounds and then went through all of the watcher's records.

She discovered that Luna had sent a message to the two overwatchers saying that she was going to visit Rainbow Dash today and then execute her in two days and that their service will no longer be required in three days. Brushing those thoughts away Rainbow Dash quickly burned all of the files and flew away from the new murder scene and into the night away from both apartments and into a dark desolate alley way where she figured no one would find her.
