The Fastest Race in the Universeby Nightshade BronyChaptersThe LetterThe TripAllow Myself to Introduce... MyselfThe LetterIt started out like any other day, Rainbow Dash woke up to Tank once again hitting her on the head. She got out of bed and got ready to clear the skies according to the weather report given to her earlier that week. Today was also the day that Pinkie Pie would try to interrupt her as she would clear the skies but Pinkie wasn't there to bother her. After her shift was done she headed towards Sugar Cube Corner to see why Pinkie wasn't there to speak with her today, she really missed her shenanigans. She entered to see that everypony was there to congratulate her on something. "Hey guys what's this all about?" "This is your 'farewell party' Dashie!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "W-what do you mean farewell party? I'm not leaving anywhere." "What she means to say is congratulations on your acceptance" Twilight said as she handed her the letter. Rainbow Dash squealed at the sight of the letter. She sent in her qualifications to the Wonderbolts Academy and she patiently waited until the day that she got the obvious acceptance letter. Everypony waited for what it said. The room fell completely silent even Pinkie who normally would break the silence. Rainbow opened up the letter with a confused look on her face. "What does it say?!" yelled Pinkie. "It isn't from the Academy. Its from somepony though." "Well darling read it aloud so we can all hear" said Rarity. "Ok It says 'Hello and congratulations for being the fastest thing from your home land of EQUESTRIA. You and six friends are invited to a race that is in your honor. You will also meet many other fast beings from different lands such as EARTH, MOBIUS, and THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM. So come to these coordinates at 9:00 a.m. sharp tomorrow and be a part of this Universal Event. 38°8’0” N, 121°15’38” W.'" "So its a race well that will be fun to see" said Twilight. "Well those fellas better be really fast cause Rainbow will probably leave them in the dust" Applejack said confidently to her friends. "Yeah because nopony's faster then our own Rainbow Dash" yelled Pinkie "Quite right, I do believe that Rainbow Dash will hand it to them" Rarity said. "Not that I don't think that you're fast but do be careful Rainbow Dash" said Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash isn't the one to show much emotion but she surely blushed when she heard all of the great things that her friends were giving her and she liked it. She felt like the luckiest pony of all Equestria and she wanted to thank them in the only way possible. "Thank you guys so much," she said almost with a tear. "To show how much I care for you guys I'll bring you and Spike along with me." With that the gang of ponies cheer in excitement and they leave to get things ready for tomorrow. Twilight was thinking on the way to the castle about those other "lands" and if she has ever heard of them before. She continued thinking until she was at the castle doors and Spike answered the doors. She passes the baby dragon and continues into the library portion of the castle and locked herself in. The others were well on there way with packing their stuff for this trip and many could barely sleep for the amazing day that awaits them. Twilight reads on to find out what these strange places are and she still can't find anything on Earth, Mobius or The Mushroom Kingdom. "Ugh, Spike did you find anything on the places I told you to look up?" yelled Twilight in frustration. "Ah, no but I'll keep on looking until I do" said Spike. " I don't think you need to Spike because this is the final book and nothing on these places so this must mean that they aren't from Equestria, but if that's so then where are they from?" "I don't know but I think its time to hit the hay." "Its ok Spike, I'll continue on to see if we missed anything see you tomorrow." The time has come for the gang to be at the coordinates. The first one there was Rainbow Dash ready to meet these ponies that think they are faster then her, but nopony was there. This confused her making her think that she might have read the coordinates wrong, but she did check and she was exactly where they said she needed to be. Then soon enough the rest start to show up even more confused then the last. Finally when Twilight and Spike showed up they started to think out loud. "What in the hay is going on?" "Where is everypony?" asked Pinkie. "Twilight darling, please tell us what is going on here?" "Well I was up last night and apparently those places aren't in Equestria?" "Well where's it at then?" asked Rainbow Dash. "That's just it, I don't know where it is." "Well, what are we going to do now?" asked Applejack. Then as if on cue something shows up and it scared them. It was a disk shape and it was no bigger than Ponyville's town hall. It just sat there for a minute and then it spoke with a thunderous voice. "Which one of you is Rainbow Dash?" They sat in silence until Rainbow Dash spoke up to the huge disk. "I-I am" she stuttered. With that the disk started to spin and spark, spouting lightning and light up. In the blink of an eye it zapped Rainbow Dash and she was gone. The rest of them all screamed and started running around. One by one the disk started to zap up the rest of them until only Spike and Twilight were left and before Twilight could do anything she and Spike were also zapped up by the disk. When the ship was done with its zapping it vanished without a trace. The only thing left was burned patches of grass and rocks. The Trip"Rainbow Dash, get up!", Twilight yelled. "Come on get up, you need to get up right now!" Rainbow Dash still shaken from the whole evaporation thing slowly opens her eyes in pain. "Ow, what happened?" she asked. She looked around and saw that the seven of them were in some sort of prison cell. The cell wasn't very big and with seven of them in there it was cramped. She saw that Rarity was starting to freak out about the room and how horrid it was. Then a metal door was heard opening. "Why you dumb oaf! Why are our honored guests down here?" "But you said-" He was interrupted by a smack in the back of the head. "Ow, you just hit me." "Just shut up and pull the switch over there." Rainbow Dash had enough of this wondering what's going on. She flew over to the bars and saw something she couldn't explain. She saw a creature that stood up on its hind legs and was hairless. Before she could ask him a question she felt a bit queasy and started to fall to the ground. Her friends soon followed. The last thing she remembered was seeing Twilight falling on a pile of bones. ***** "Hey," said an unknown voice. "Hey, are you alright?" "I don't know senior," said a voice with a strange accent. "She might still be unconscious." "Well then give her some air, I think she's coming to." The last voice sounded a little weird, as if the person was speaking through a scratchy microphone. Rainbow Dash tried to get up but it was no use. For some reason she felt very funny. It felt as if she was asleep for along time. The funny voice spoke again. "Senorita, you can do it, vamos!" "You got it, that's it", said the first voice. Finally, Rainbow Dash was able to get up and get on her hooves. She still was weak. She wasn't able to open her eyes yet, and this scared her. Just the thought of never seeing again made her tear up. The ones that helped her up were confused as to why she was crying. Rainbow collapsed and she started to cry even harder then before. This made the first voice speak up. "Are you alright? You seem like someone close to you died." Finally the cyan pony speaks. "N-no, I-I just can't see and I'm afraid I won't be able to see any more," she said with a sniffle. "Hold on I'll be back," said the first voice. "Where are you going and what are you doing?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Wait a moment senorita, the senior will return in a moment." "Well, while we wait for him to return what's your name?" asked the cyan pony. "Mi nombre is Speedy Gonzalez the fastest mouse in all of Mexico." "What?" Rainbow Dash was stunned to hear this. "The fastest what of where exactly?" "The fastest mouse in all of Mexico." said Speedy. Could she be hearing this correctly, did he say 'The fastest mouse', this surprised her as all she knew it was a joke for she can't really see at the moment. The weird voice was also gone and she wanted to know what happened to him, but this is no time to wonder were the funny things go. The note she'd received said that she would be racing some of the fastest things from many different lands, but she was still skeptical of the whole thing. Twilight did tell her the day before that if anything were to go wrong just call for her and she will do the best she could to help her. And remembering this fact she started to call out for her, and acting like a spooked hose would when lightning strikes in front of it. As she bucked, kicked and reared she prove she was still to scared and confused to even cooperate with Speedy, the first voice, or even the weird voice. "Help, Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack, any pony save me!" she yelled as she was bucking. "Calm down we mean you no harm, we just want to help," said the first voice as he tried to get closer. "Don't you come any closer I-I mean it," she warned "Please hold still we need to get this off you," said the weird voice. "Twilight help me!" she yelled once more. "Twilight, please...I-I'm scared. I-I don't know what's going on and these voices are messing with me," she said with a sniffle. "Please...Rainbow Dash is it," said the first voice. "We just need to take off this blind fold off you." "How do you know my name?" she asked backing away. "It says it on you tag Senorita," said Speedy. "Please for your safety and the rest of the creatures in here hold still, we are moving closer to you," the weird voice informed. Rainbow knew if she let her guard down any pony would be able to take her down. She knew what to do. She knew that if she was touched by any of them she would fly off into the sky and get away from them as quickly as possible. Even though he was legitimately scared, she did fake the whole crying thing. She wasn't that big of a scaredy pony, she di it for dramatic effect. she knew that they were getting closer due to the fact that the footsteps are getting closer along with the occasional warning of them getting closer. the time has finally come she felt some pony touch her and she knew it was a test touch. When she felt the wait of something on her, she waited for a moment. "Are you going to do anything you might regret?" the first voice asked. "That depends, can hold on?" And with out warning she opened her wings and flew up in the air. She knew that it would be only a matter of time before he fell off, not even Spike could hold on for very long. But for some reason he was still on after only ten seconds, she had to lose him. While she was flying she knew he had a tight grip on her. Rainbow did all the stunts she had learned over the years, spins, loops, stalls, barrel rolls, sharp turns, even the complicated trick she explained to Applejack, but it all failed to get him off. She knew there was only one thing she could do, she had to perform The Sonic Rainboom. It was risky because she didn't want to hurt him, she just wanted him to get off. But before she could even get to the right altitude Rainbow Dash hit something and she plummeted down to the ground spiraling out of control. ***** The aroma of delicious pastries, and food filled the room. Pinkie was eating all the cupcakes she can possible fit in her mouth and on her plate the size of her hoof. Applejack was a little worried that Rainbow Dash wasn't there but she figured that she was meeting the competition. Fluttershy was in the corner hiding from all the attention they were receiving. Rarity was her normal self in her finest gown talking to all the attendees of this so called 'Historic Event'. Twilight was the only that was worried and a little confuse she was sure that they were in a dungeon and something made them lose consciousness. And these creatures were a little weird looking, almost all of them walk on two legs. "Well, you look different then the others," said a voice behind the purple mare. "Um, were you talking t-" "To you, yes I was. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Doctor Daisuke Serizawa and you are?" as he gestured to her. "I'm Twilight Sparkle, and since I have these wings it makes me a princess, but you can call me Twilight." she stated. "I am very pleased to meet you Twilight. Who did the Overseer send for, in your homeland?" wondered Dr. Daisuke "He sent for a very dear friend of mine, her name is Rainbow Dash. Who did send for from your homeland?" asked Twilight. "He sent for a very dangerous creature of massive proportion, it nearly destroyed all Japan, my country of origin, his name is Rodan." "Well I hope he doesn't destroy the race." joked Twilight. "There is no need for worry he had tamed him." said Dr. Daisuke "Who tamed him?" asked Twilight now intrigued by his statement "Godzilla. We also brought him just incase Rodan tries to do anything." "Hopefully it doesn't come to that." "Indeed, I must continue to mingle with the other guests. So long Princess Twilight Sparkle," he said as he turned from the alicorn. Twilight was pleased to see that even though they looked different they can have a conversation with some pony and not get stares. As she looked around she could see many creatures that were called to this event. She saw a fox come her way but there is something off about him, then she spotted it he had two tails something that she knows wasn't right "Hi I'm Miles Prower, but my friends call me Tails and we're here to watch our friend Sonic race. Who are you here for?" "Hi I'm Twilight Sparkle and we're here to watch our friend race as well." "Ladies, gentlemen, and creatures of all shapes and sizes, please gather around for the introduction of a life time," said a man on a lectern. "I am Mr. Goodwill and I will be in charge of the welcoming out our well respected leader and all around good guy, Lord Ivan von Liechtenstein," exclaimed Mr. Goodwill. Many of the people and creatures applauded his arrival but she was still skeptical. Twilight understood that Dr. Daisuke was right for putting Rodan in a place that he wouldn't hurt everyone in here but that wouldn't explain why Tails' friend and Rainbow Dash wasn't around and no one knew where they were. So she held her applause for Lord Ivan von Liechtenstein and Mr. Goodwill. Then Lord Ivan spoke. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you all, and now that I have set the whole party in motion please enjoy these customary medallions from our land of origin. So please fill free to continue with whatever makes you all comfortable here." said Lord Ivan before he left. Twilight still want to speak with him and see if she can find out what happened to Rainbow Dash. But that would be a problem for there was guards at every door in the room. It took her no longer then one minute to see that Pinkie would be able to move any pony from there standstill into a party mood. Twilight went to get Pinkie's attention, "Psst, Pinkie you got a second." "Sure Twilight but why are we whispering?" asked Pinkie. "I need to see if I can speak with this Lord Ivan guy. So I was wondering if you can distract the guards over there so I can get past." "Ok but only if I can use my party cannon." Twilight giggled a little, "Fine you can use your party cannon." With that Pinkie went and started messing with the guards I didn't take long for the guards to start laughing and fall over. Whatever Pinkie did it worked and Twilight was pleased to see that Pinkie gave a signal to come over even though she never told her to do so. Either way she was able to get past. As soon as she was through she was amazed at what she saw. It was like Luna's night but there was no constellations that she recognized and they were moving past them. It was amazing to see this she was fascinated on how this was even possible. But this was short lived when the two guards that she pasted earlier was holding Pinkie by the tail and was looking at Twilight. The one that had his hands free went for Twilight, but was stopped by a voice. Author's Note This is only relevant to those who don't know the lingo by know. Wikipedia defines Bucking as such: Bucking is a movement performed by a horse or bull in which the animal lowers its head and raises its hindquarters into the air, usually while kicking out with the hind legs. Google defines Rearing as such: (of a horse or other animal) raise itself upright on its hind legs. Also sorry for the long wait, school's almost out and have a lot of last minute things to do. And my Internet is down so again sorry for if this chapter is late. Allow Myself to Introduce... MyselfRainbow Dash awoke from her fall. She was still disoriented, but she started to see things again though they were still blurry she stayed on her guard. She didn't want anything to get on her again so she stayed in an attack ready position. But none of the people there were having another attack of a crazed Pegasus so they backed off. "What, none of you want a piece of the Dash. What's wrong did I shake you all up pretty badly?" asked Rainbow. "No we're just not gonna scare you like that again, but please take this and you will see better in a matter of seconds." said the scratchy voice . "Si, we don't wish to hurt you Senorita, we wish to help you." said Speedy. "Ok but if this doesn't work-" she was interrupted. "It will work I used it on all of the creatures here I'm a medic." said that voice again but with a hint of anger. "I'm still not sure if this thing will even work." the cyan pony said as she continued to doubt. "Please, trust me on this I wouldn't lie to you." it said again. Rainbow Dash then proceeds to take the substance and examine it the best she could due to her being temporarily blind at the moment. She then continued to smell the drink and make sure that it didn't, well smell bad but it didn't smell like anything. So then she went on to drink it. At first it didn't taste like much just like some bland muffin that was sitting on the road for about ten days. Then it tasted as if it was made of dirt and black tar. It didn't go down to easily either, all she wanted to do was to throw it back up. The good news was that she could start making thing out more clearly. She then went on to yell at the supposed medic that gave the horrid drink to her in the first place. "Oh sweet Celestia that was terrible! Why does it taste like that?!" Rainbow Dash asked frantically. "Well it's quite simple really, it's a mixture of Thyme, Aloe, Machinate, Echinacea, something called a 'Super Mushroom' from that guy over there, Vehicle Lubricant, cheese, a golden ring, twenty pounds of baby skin ,one of your feathers, and Morphine." said the medic. Rainbow Dash stood in awe as he named off the ingredients of this nasty concoction she just drank. The thing that blew her mind was the twenty pounds of baby skin. At the thought of it she puked it all up and she want felling good. She looked at him with disgust as she continued to vomit. Then one of the people standing there hit the medic as if to knock it off, and to tell the truth. The medic then proceed to tell the hurling pony what was really in it. "None of that was really in it. It was a test of your involuntary reflex to certain objects,and it seemed to work." "If none of that was in that drink, then what was?" "Keratin, carrots, Vitamin D, and that 'Super Mushroom'. Yeah, that was really in there." Rainbow Dash looked at the collection of people in the large hanger bay filled with many of things that claim that they were the fastest thing in the universe. Many, if not all of them were bipedal. She wasn't scared as they all looked like a bunch of bitters. She then placed her gaze at the giant robotic medic and began to glare at him angrily. He noticed when he turned that she wasn't very happy with him. "What, did I do something wrong?" he asked. "Yea why did you tell me that those thing in there, I mean I could have died-" she was interrupted by the medic. "Like I said I'm a Doctor I know what's best." They stared at each other until a Blue hedgehog and a Mexican mouse came into view. The hedgehog broke the stare by speaking. "Ok lets not get on everyone's bad side alright," then he turned toward Rainbow Dash, "You fell for the medic's little joke didn't you?" "If you call that a joke." said Rainbow Dash. "It's alright I to fell for it but he really knows what he's doing." said the hedgehog. "Ok then if you say so. I know his name but not your's, so what is it?" she asked. "The name is Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog and sorry for making ya crash into the wall when we were trying to help ya earlier." Rainbow Dash blushed at the sound of this, not of attractiveness but in embarrassment. She didn't realize that until now, but her head was throbbing in pain but it was bearable. "So you, ah, were the one on my back?" she asked. "Yea you were fast but I knew that wasn't your full potential was it?" said Sonic. "Well now that we are done with that we can introduce you to the rest of the group. You already know Speedy, the joker of a medic is Ratchet and his friend is Bumblebee. The guy in the red suit is or the Flash, the green dinosaur is Yoshi and his friend Mario, and then my lone wolf friend Shadow." "It's nice to meet you all but do you know exactly what we are all doing here?" asked Rainbow Dash. They all stood as they all pondered upon the question. None of them knew why they were gathered up and put in this room and forced to interact with each other. As they were pondering they noticed some one approaching them. "Good you are all conscious, now would you kindly put on these bracelets then you can go through the door behind me and then we can feast!" said the person garnishing many bracelets to hand out. As each individual pasted the mysterious person they took a bracelet that automatically attached itself to the users wrist. some did at first refuse to wear such a weird piece of jewelry but all did come to terms with it. Rainbow Dash eventually made it up to Sonic. "Do you remember a dungeon before you wake up here?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Not really no, why do you ask?" "Because I do and it wasn't very nice. My friends and I were shoved in some dungeon and left there to rot and then something gassed us then I woke up in here." said Rainbow Dash. "Well if that's the case then we must find out who's at the bottom of this, and stop this guy stone cold." said Sonic. With that the two of them entered a portal and when they resurfaced they saw many tables with their friends sitting around them. they look 100 percent fine and nothing wrong out of the ordinary. The only thing out of place was Pinkie and Twilight they weren't there yet. Rainbow Dash walked over to her friends to see that they were chatting up with some workers and eating some high quality cuisine that was making Applejack feel a little uncomfortable. When the servants saw Rainbow they nervously left and spit some water on their way out. Rainbow Dash really didn't pay much attention to them, but Rarity was a little peeved at the waiter for spilling her drink. "What happened to Twilight and Pinkie?" asked Rainbow Dash. "I don't know Rainbow, we haven't seen them since they spoke to that guy over there." she said as she directed Rainbow's attention to Doctor Daisuke Serizawa. "Well i did see them talk to some guards that were laughing at one of Pinkie's jokes." said Fluttershy. "Well if that is were they were last seen then we gotta go find them and do it quick because I'm not really trusting this place at the moment." said Rainbow Dash. "I think you may have some time, because the last one out of the portal you came out of is a tortoise and it wight take a while." said Rarity. Rainbow nodded and casually left the building. Author's Note Sorry for this chapter being so late the transition from High School to College is tough.

Sorry it took all summer to get the next chapter out, it won't be this late again.

"Help, Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack, any pony save me!" she yelled as she was bucking. "Calm down we mean you no harm, we just want to help," said the first voice as he tried to get closer. "Don't you come any closer I-I mean it," she warned "Please hold still we need to get this off you," said the weird voice. "Twilight help me!" she yelled once more. "Twilight, please...I-I'm scared. I-I don't know what's going on and these voices are messing with me," she said with a sniffle. "Please...Rainbow Dash is it," said the first voice. "We just need to take off this blind fold off you." "How do you know my name?" she asked backing away. "It says it on you tag Senorita," said Speedy. "Please for your safety and the rest of the creatures in here hold still, we are moving closer to you," the weird voice informed. Rainbow knew if she let her guard down any pony would be able to take her down. She knew what to do. She knew that if she was touched by any of them she would fly off into the sky and get away from them as quickly as possible. Even though he was legitimately scared, she did fake the whole crying thing. She wasn't that big of a scaredy pony, she di it for dramatic effect. she knew that they were getting closer due to the fact that the footsteps are getting closer along with the occasional warning of them getting closer. the time has finally come she felt some pony touch her and she knew it was a test touch. When she felt the wait of something on her, she waited for a moment. "Are you going to do anything you might regret?" the first voice asked. "That depends, can hold on?" And with out warning she opened her wings and flew up in the air. She knew that it would be only a matter of time before he fell off, not even Spike could hold on for very long. But for some reason he was still on after only ten seconds, she had to lose him. While she was flying she knew he had a tight grip on her. Rainbow did all the stunts she had learned over the years, spins, loops, stalls, barrel rolls, sharp turns, even the complicated trick she explained to Applejack, but it all failed to get him off. She knew there was only one thing she could do, she had to perform The Sonic Rainboom. It was risky because she didn't want to hurt him, she just wanted him to get off. But before she could even get to the right altitude Rainbow Dash hit something and she plummeted down to the ground spiraling out of control. ***** The aroma of delicious pastries, and food filled the room. Pinkie was eating all the cupcakes she can possible fit in her mouth and on her plate the size of her hoof. Applejack was a little worried that Rainbow Dash wasn't there but she figured that she was meeting the competition. Fluttershy was in the corner hiding from all the attention they were receiving. Rarity was her normal self in her finest gown talking to all the attendees of this so called 'Historic Event'. Twilight was the only that was worried and a little confuse she was sure that they were in a dungeon and something made them lose consciousness. And these creatures were a little weird looking, almost all of them walk on two legs. "Well, you look different then the others," said a voice behind the purple mare. "Um, were you talking t-" "To you, yes I was. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Doctor Daisuke Serizawa and you are?" as he gestured to her. "I'm Twilight Sparkle, and since I have these wings it makes me a princess, but you can call me Twilight." she stated. "I am very pleased to meet you Twilight. Who did the Overseer send for, in your homeland?" wondered Dr. Daisuke "He sent for a very dear friend of mine, her name is Rainbow Dash. Who did send for from your homeland?" asked Twilight. "He sent for a very dangerous creature of massive proportion, it nearly destroyed all Japan, my country of origin, his name is Rodan." "Well I hope he doesn't destroy the race." joked Twilight. "There is no need for worry he had tamed him." said Dr. Daisuke "Who tamed him?" asked Twilight now intrigued by his statement "Godzilla. We also brought him just incase Rodan tries to do anything." "Hopefully it doesn't come to that." "Indeed, I must continue to mingle with the other guests. So long Princess Twilight Sparkle," he said as he turned from the alicorn. Twilight was pleased to see that even though they looked different they can have a conversation with some pony and not get stares. As she looked around she could see many creatures that were called to this event. She saw a fox come her way but there is something off about him, then she spotted it he had two tails something that she knows wasn't right "Hi I'm Miles Prower, but my friends call me Tails and we're here to watch our friend Sonic race. Who are you here for?" "Hi I'm Twilight Sparkle and we're here to watch our friend race as well." "Ladies, gentlemen, and creatures of all shapes and sizes, please gather around for the introduction of a life time," said a man on a lectern. "I am Mr. Goodwill and I will be in charge of the welcoming out our well respected leader and all around good guy, Lord Ivan von Liechtenstein," exclaimed Mr. Goodwill. Many of the people and creatures applauded his arrival but she was still skeptical. Twilight understood that Dr. Daisuke was right for putting Rodan in a place that he wouldn't hurt everyone in here but that wouldn't explain why Tails' friend and Rainbow Dash wasn't around and no one knew where they were. So she held her applause for Lord Ivan von Liechtenstein and Mr. Goodwill. Then Lord Ivan spoke. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you all, and now that I have set the whole party in motion please enjoy these customary medallions from our land of origin. So please fill free to continue with whatever makes you all comfortable here." said Lord Ivan before he left. Twilight still want to speak with him and see if she can find out what happened to Rainbow Dash. But that would be a problem for there was guards at every door in the room. It took her no longer then one minute to see that Pinkie would be able to move any pony from there standstill into a party mood. Twilight went to get Pinkie's attention, "Psst, Pinkie you got a second." "Sure Twilight but why are we whispering?" asked Pinkie. "I need to see if I can speak with this Lord Ivan guy. So I was wondering if you can distract the guards over there so I can get past." "Ok but only if I can use my party cannon." Twilight giggled a little, "Fine you can use your party cannon." With that Pinkie went and started messing with the guards I didn't take long for the guards to start laughing and fall over. Whatever Pinkie did it worked and Twilight was pleased to see that Pinkie gave a signal to come over even though she never told her to do so. Either way she was able to get past. As soon as she was through she was amazed at what she saw. It was like Luna's night but there was no constellations that she recognized and they were moving past them. It was amazing to see this she was fascinated on how this was even possible. But this was short lived when the two guards that she pasted earlier was holding Pinkie by the tail and was looking at Twilight. The one that had his hands free went for Twilight, but was stopped by a voice. Author's Note This is only relevant to those who don't know the lingo by know. Wikipedia defines Bucking as such: Bucking is a movement performed by a horse or bull in which the animal lowers its head and raises its hindquarters into the air, usually while kicking out with the hind legs. Google defines Rearing as such: (of a horse or other animal) raise itself upright on its hind legs. Also sorry for the long wait, school's almost out and have a lot of last minute things to do. And my Internet is down so again sorry for if this chapter is late.
Allow Myself to Introduce... MyselfRainbow Dash awoke from her fall. She was still disoriented, but she started to see things again though they were still blurry she stayed on her guard. She didn't want anything to get on her again so she stayed in an attack ready position. But none of the people there were having another attack of a crazed Pegasus so they backed off. "What, none of you want a piece of the Dash. What's wrong did I shake you all up pretty badly?" asked Rainbow. "No we're just not gonna scare you like that again, but please take this and you will see better in a matter of seconds." said the scratchy voice . "Si, we don't wish to hurt you Senorita, we wish to help you." said Speedy. "Ok but if this doesn't work-" she was interrupted. "It will work I used it on all of the creatures here I'm a medic." said that voice again but with a hint of anger. "I'm still not sure if this thing will even work." the cyan pony said as she continued to doubt. "Please, trust me on this I wouldn't lie to you." it said again. Rainbow Dash then proceeds to take the substance and examine it the best she could due to her being temporarily blind at the moment. She then continued to smell the drink and make sure that it didn't, well smell bad but it didn't smell like anything. So then she went on to drink it. At first it didn't taste like much just like some bland muffin that was sitting on the road for about ten days. Then it tasted as if it was made of dirt and black tar. It didn't go down to easily either, all she wanted to do was to throw it back up. The good news was that she could start making thing out more clearly. She then went on to yell at the supposed medic that gave the horrid drink to her in the first place. "Oh sweet Celestia that was terrible! Why does it taste like that?!" Rainbow Dash asked frantically. "Well it's quite simple really, it's a mixture of Thyme, Aloe, Machinate, Echinacea, something called a 'Super Mushroom' from that guy over there, Vehicle Lubricant, cheese, a golden ring, twenty pounds of baby skin ,one of your feathers, and Morphine." said the medic. Rainbow Dash stood in awe as he named off the ingredients of this nasty concoction she just drank. The thing that blew her mind was the twenty pounds of baby skin. At the thought of it she puked it all up and she want felling good. She looked at him with disgust as she continued to vomit. Then one of the people standing there hit the medic as if to knock it off, and to tell the truth. The medic then proceed to tell the hurling pony what was really in it. "None of that was really in it. It was a test of your involuntary reflex to certain objects,and it seemed to work." "If none of that was in that drink, then what was?" "Keratin, carrots, Vitamin D, and that 'Super Mushroom'. Yeah, that was really in there." Rainbow Dash looked at the collection of people in the large hanger bay filled with many of things that claim that they were the fastest thing in the universe. Many, if not all of them were bipedal. She wasn't scared as they all looked like a bunch of bitters. She then placed her gaze at the giant robotic medic and began to glare at him angrily. He noticed when he turned that she wasn't very happy with him. "What, did I do something wrong?" he asked. "Yea why did you tell me that those thing in there, I mean I could have died-" she was interrupted by the medic. "Like I said I'm a Doctor I know what's best." They stared at each other until a Blue hedgehog and a Mexican mouse came into view. The hedgehog broke the stare by speaking. "Ok lets not get on everyone's bad side alright," then he turned toward Rainbow Dash, "You fell for the medic's little joke didn't you?" "If you call that a joke." said Rainbow Dash. "It's alright I to fell for it but he really knows what he's doing." said the hedgehog. "Ok then if you say so. I know his name but not your's, so what is it?" she asked. "The name is Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog and sorry for making ya crash into the wall when we were trying to help ya earlier." Rainbow Dash blushed at the sound of this, not of attractiveness but in embarrassment. She didn't realize that until now, but her head was throbbing in pain but it was bearable. "So you, ah, were the one on my back?" she asked. "Yea you were fast but I knew that wasn't your full potential was it?" said Sonic. "Well now that we are done with that we can introduce you to the rest of the group. You already know Speedy, the joker of a medic is Ratchet and his friend is Bumblebee. The guy in the red suit is or the Flash, the green dinosaur is Yoshi and his friend Mario, and then my lone wolf friend Shadow." "It's nice to meet you all but do you know exactly what we are all doing here?" asked Rainbow Dash. They all stood as they all pondered upon the question. None of them knew why they were gathered up and put in this room and forced to interact with each other. As they were pondering they noticed some one approaching them. "Good you are all conscious, now would you kindly put on these bracelets then you can go through the door behind me and then we can feast!" said the person garnishing many bracelets to hand out. As each individual pasted the mysterious person they took a bracelet that automatically attached itself to the users wrist. some did at first refuse to wear such a weird piece of jewelry but all did come to terms with it. Rainbow Dash eventually made it up to Sonic. "Do you remember a dungeon before you wake up here?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Not really no, why do you ask?" "Because I do and it wasn't very nice. My friends and I were shoved in some dungeon and left there to rot and then something gassed us then I woke up in here." said Rainbow Dash. "Well if that's the case then we must find out who's at the bottom of this, and stop this guy stone cold." said Sonic. With that the two of them entered a portal and when they resurfaced they saw many tables with their friends sitting around them. they look 100 percent fine and nothing wrong out of the ordinary. The only thing out of place was Pinkie and Twilight they weren't there yet. Rainbow Dash walked over to her friends to see that they were chatting up with some workers and eating some high quality cuisine that was making Applejack feel a little uncomfortable. When the servants saw Rainbow they nervously left and spit some water on their way out. Rainbow Dash really didn't pay much attention to them, but Rarity was a little peeved at the waiter for spilling her drink. "What happened to Twilight and Pinkie?" asked Rainbow Dash. "I don't know Rainbow, we haven't seen them since they spoke to that guy over there." she said as she directed Rainbow's attention to Doctor Daisuke Serizawa. "Well i did see them talk to some guards that were laughing at one of Pinkie's jokes." said Fluttershy. "Well if that is were they were last seen then we gotta go find them and do it quick because I'm not really trusting this place at the moment." said Rainbow Dash. "I think you may have some time, because the last one out of the portal you came out of is a tortoise and it wight take a while." said Rarity. Rainbow nodded and casually left the building.
