The Story

It was a normal day in Ponyville, the air was clean, the sky was clear (thanks to the pegasi) and Celestia's sun was shining down upon the quiet little town. Yes it was truly a wonderful especially for one certain pegasus: Rainbow Dash, the greatest flier in all of Equestria. She had spend the day doing stunt so unbelievably awesome that describing them would do them justice. It fact they were so awesome they nearly caused the school fillies' little heads to explode from the sheer awesomeness of the display which would have caused blood bone and pieces of brain to go all round the ground. Then their heads would have exploded again because it was that awesome. Oh you think I'm using the word 'awesome' to much well you can just shut the fuck up.

Rainbow Dash was getting ready to take a nap on her favorite cloud when suddenly she saw something above her. She flew up to check it out. When she reached the object she was in space that's right Rainbow Dash can breathe in space. Got a problem with that? Deal with it! The object was a giant alien spacecraft led by the the Evil Overlord Emperor King Tom, ruler of a race of evil rock aliens Tom had been to Equestria before and fallen in love with one of its lifeforms. However soon after the the marshmallow lifeform abandoned him and now he has come to seek his revenge.

Armed with a linear laser cannons, plasma pulse turrets and an armada of smaller crafts ready to deploy nothing was going to him. Nothing except a blue mare named Rainbow Dash. R.D. being as brave as she is charge head first against Tom. However one of Tom's plasma pulse turrets fired upon the rainbow pony causing her to fall back onto the earth. Luckily her rainbow powers kept her burning up in reentry. After getting her bearings back she saw Pinkie, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Bell all looking at her.

Right then Pinkie was about to go on one of her famous rants when Rainbow Dash said, "We need to hurry turns out Tom is an evil alien space king and is here to destroy us all because Rarity dumped him." Rainbow turned to face the three fillies, "I'm going to you three and your talents."

You see as it turned out just a week before when a giant ninja snake attack the citizens of Ponyville. During that time the CMC discover their special talents. They could turn into a set of super armor for the already awesome Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo was the helmet, Apple Bloom was the torso piece and Sweetie Bell was the cape.

"Oh right!" said the three as they transformed into the CMC Special Armor. Just When Rainbow Dash was about to start going back to face Tom, Pinkie stopped her.

"What is it, Pinkie? asked the impatient Rainbow Dash

"If you're going to fight you're going to need this," answered Pinkie. Right then Gummy, Pinkie's pet alligator appeared of nowhere.

"You want me to take Gummy?" asked the very confused Rainbow Dash.

"No silly, I want you take this," Pinkie said as she reached down into Gummy's throat and pulled out the Master Sword.

"Wow Pinkie where did you get this?" Rainbow asked once again

"Twilight and I were playing video games over at her place and then I saw her copy of Twilight Princess and I saw the Master Sword and thought it look neat so I grabbed it."

"Pinkie you are so random," replied Rainbow. This was just another case of Pinkie being Pinkie. Rainbow Dash started to fly back into space in order to face the evil Tom. When she got there she was greeted once again by Tom and his giant space craft. Tom, being as silent as ever, deployed the aforementioned armada of fighters to attack the mare of cool. That's when Rainbow sprung into action. Sure they fast but she was faster. She ducked and rolled, dodging laser blast after laser blast. She got close to one of them and used her sword to cut it in half. Then she ten more coming her way shooting a series of lasers. Rainbow took evasive action but some of the lasers hit her. However the CMC special armor was enough to protect against it. Rainbow Dash flew right at then once against dodging laser after laser in order to cut them down. Which she did. She then saw the rest of the fighter and decided to use her friendship cannon to take the rest out. And so a rainbow-colored beam shot out of Rainbow Dash's hooves and vaporized all of the alien fighter crafts.

Rainbow then shot into Tom's ship through its window causing the vacuum of space to suck in various meaningless items  that belong to the evil Tom. However then metal things came down and blocked the hole I don't know what their called. Right then Rainbow charged forward towards Tom and did a Sonic Rainboom right through Tom instantly killing Tom. Rainbow Dash then shoot out of the now dead Tom's space craft causing another nine thousand Sonic Rainbooms sending the ship into oblivion.

When she got back Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie changed back to their regular forms and went off to go play with Spike. They didn't it after the intense battle they were in.

"Well hello Rainbow Dash," said a friendly and regal voice from behind

Rainbow then turned around to see none other than Princess Celestia. Upon seeing the princess, the blue mare then started to bow until Celestia raised her hoof and told Rainbow Dash  that there was no need.

"Rainbow Dash I Princess Celestia am proud to announce that because of your bravery that you be able to leave out your dream of being a Wonderbolt."  said the sun princess

Upon hearing this news Rainbow Dash shot yelling "YEEEEEEEEEES best day ever," and did yet another Sonic Rainboom.

What the princess failed to mention was that by be coming a Wonderbolt she could no longer be a main character.

Prologue & Epilogue

Prologue

Hello, I am the ruler of the planet Terratria home of the Rockanites. We are a proud race of beings, able to move around using our natural levitation abilities. We also have the highest intelligence of any known creature. We have constructed Spacecrafts beyond the limits of any other spacefaring species and well beyond that of species that have not gone passed their own planet.  Now since we are an obviously superior race it is only fitting that we conquer worlds with lesser beings. We, the Rockanites, have conquered hundreds of planets in the name of The Great Stone Empire. Then one day one of our scout ships came back to us. I looked at the serial number on the craft. It read '1006-1337-4242-9669'. I had seen this number somewhere before and I thought I knew where but I needed to know for sure. I checked our record and it was confirmed. This was indeed the fabled lost explorer that was sent out into deep space over a thousand years ago. Luckily this craft was designed to be unpiloted because if there were somerocky it there they surely would have died by now. I soon discovered that the recording of the craft's findings were still intact. Curious I decided to want the tapes.

What I saw was a blue and green, the blue was probably water and the green vegetation. However what interested me the most  was a race of beings that call themselves 'Ponies'. These ponies were divided three sub-species: Earth Ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasi.   Earth Ponies were the physically strongest, Pegasi were capable of flight and weather manipulation, and the Unicorns had arcane abilities. However, further research found that there was two members of a fourth sub-species who seem be the rulers of this world. One closer inspection it was found that one of the two fourth sub-species, now classified as 'Alicorns', were exiled to this planet possibly due some crime it had committed. This still doesn't answer why the ship had't come for a thousand years. I fast-forward the video to end and found something interesting. I appear that the Alicorn that had been exiled, and the one left to rule in its absence, are still. This amount of longevity hints towards immortality something we need to look into. Now by the look of things it appear that the exiled Alicorn had returned and is probably wants revenge. Revenge... what a silly notion. However the exiled Alicorn was defeated by a group of six ponies and then nothing. The rest of the tape of nothing but static probably some external force caused this.

Not satisfied with these results, I decided to go  the planet, which I now know is called 'Equestria'.  It took about a year and when I got there thing were very different. The land was covered with the oddest things imaginable least of which was that the clouds were pink and instead of raining water it was raining some brown liquid. I decided to hide in a maze made out of vegetation and lie still. This was genius because rockanites are naturally designed to look like ordinary rocks. However it was also genius because I got to met her. An female unicorn with white fur with markings on its rear (I still have failed to identify what they are) much like most of the other  ponies. I had seen that some of these ponies did have this strange marking usually the younger one which suggests that maturity is a factor. Oh sorry I'm going off topic where was I oh yes the white unicorn, It also had a 'mane' and 'tail' that were violet and had the most beautiful blue eyes.

I looked at her and she looked at me and it was love at first sight. Her name was Rarity and she cared for me more than anyrocky had done before. At one point her color turned to grey put I didn't care because I was in love. She loved me too she even fought some other ponies when they were trying to steal me away from her calling me 'Tom'. Still use that name even today. Yes I loved her and she loved me. At least I thought she loved me. After all we been through she abandoned me, left me like I was useless tool to be used and then thrown away. Soon after I went back to my ship and headed home with a broken heart.

Revenge is a notion thought silly by us rockanites. We go after most greater things in this universe. However after what happened, Rarity and the world you hold have no hope left. I Tom, ruler of the rockanites, will have my revenge

Epilogue
