The Invasionby CroisSunnyPlayChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Final ChapterEpilogueChapter 1[Resistance's Hideout, 09:13 A.M.] "KAMEHAMEHA!!!" A power blast went through the training ground and hit the target right in the center, destroying it completely. Rainbow Dash, who shot the blast, was wearing her classical training clothes, an old black uniform of the Wonderbolts without the hood. "Rainbow Dash, you shouldn't use that much power. And if we are discovered by changelings?" Said Fluttershy, who wore a similar uniform, but in a grey color. "So I would defeat them in ten seconds flat! Remember, We are Saiyans. We are very strong and no one can beat us." "Some times you are very convinced, you know that?" Fluttershy rolled her eyes at this. "I'm not!" "Okay, okay! Calm down!" "Heh, sorry. It's hard to believe that twenty years ago you were shy..." "The war did this to me." "Now, is time to return to training." "Hey, Rainbow Dash, I..." "What is it now?" "Why don't you forget this whole thing of revenge and we go out of town to a place where we can start a new life?" "No! Those bugs will pay for what they did in the past! I will not rest until end all of this and save our city!" "Rainbow Dash..." "They took my younger sister. The only family I had. And if I leave everything as it is, they will invade other cities! I have to finish them off!" "You are right! We can not let it happen to others! You can count on my help!" "Thanks Fluttershy. You're a good friend." And then someone rushes on the training ground, saying "Captain Rainbow Dash! I have important news!" Rainbow Dash turned around to see who was. A yellow pegasus with a yellow and orange mane, wearing a blue uniform of Wonderbolts. "Spitfire? What is so important that you need to interrupt my training to tell me?" "We knew that one army of changelings is searching the members of the resistance! They will not take too long to get here!" "That is not good... I need more time to organize an attack on the castle. I need someone who can take down this army." "If you do not mind Captain Dash, Soarin, Lightning Dust and I can do it." "(Lightning Dust... And to think that one day we were enemies...) Right. You have my permission to KICK THE FACE OF THESE... uhh, I mean... you can go." After this, Spitfire saluted and went to gather the rest of her team to confront the army of changelings. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Ponyville's Square, 09:20 A.M.] "Keep looking! They must be here somewhere!" Said one of the changelings who was leading the army. "Hey hole head! I'm here!" Spitfire said, catching the army's attention. "It has one of them there! Catch her!" The army advanced on her, only to realize that in a blink of an eye she was gone. "What? Where did she go?" "Are you searching for me?" She said from above of a tree. The leader of the army groaned. "Kill her!" They started to shot green energy blasts at her, that stood still, as if nothing was happening. Seconds later, a big explosion appeared in the sky. "Good job guys. We have already managed to defeat one of them." The leader said looking the explosion with a smirk on his face. "Do you really think so?" Spitfire said, appearing in front of the leader. "What the-" *PUNCH* He was interrupted by a punch in the face that sent him flying backward. "Look at that over there." Spitfire said pointing to the side of the army. As soon as they looked to the side, they were surprised by a huge burst of energy that made them disappear completely. "Humpf. That was too easy." Soarin said. "Not even a challenge." Lightning Dust finished. "Yeah, I know. Let's go back to the hideout." After that they left the site. Little did they know they were being watched. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Princess Twilight's Castle, 09:31 A.M.] "Queen Chrysalis! I have news of the army!" Said a changeling running inside the Throne Room. "So? The army found the members of the resistance?" She asked. "No. The army has been completely destroyed by three very strong individuals." "WHAT!" She yelled, before calm down again. "Grrr... Okay. You can go now." The changeling bowed before leaving the throne room. "I took a long time to get all of this. I will not let a stupid Pegasus take it from me!" Chrysalis stared at the outside of a nearby window, watching everything she had accomplished. "Sooner or later you will have to face me, Rainbow Dash. After all, I have something you want very! Hahahahahahahaha!" She gave an evil laugh that could awaken the dead from so scary it was. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Everfree Forest, 09:52 A.M.] Inside the Everfree forest, a orange mare with a blonde mane was training punching trees and rocks. She stopped in front of a rock that looked three times higher than her. She reached a hand toward the rock and an energy ball appeared in front of her. "BIG BANG ATTACK!!!" In a flash of yellow light, the rock exploded completely, leaving only a hole in the place of the explosion. The mare crossed her arms and said "It seems that my training is complete. Time to show these changelings what I can do. I will defeat them all, or my name isn't Applejack!" She started to make her way out of the forest. "Wait for me Rainbow Dash. I will be stronger than you." Chapter 2[Resistance's Hideout, 10:01 A.M.] "Captain Dash, the mission was a success!" Spitfire said saluting as she entered. She noticed that all the Resistance was gathered there. "On the right time. We're almost ready to attack." Rainbow Dash said looking at a map of the castle. "Okay, I'll explain the plan: Our primary objective is to free the prisoners. The dungeons are two levels below the throne room. Flitter, Cloudchaser and a small group will be in charge of it. Once everyone is free, we have to neutralize the guards. Spitfire, Soarin and Lightning Dust will take care of the aerial part while Vinyl, Lyra, Bon Bon and Octavia will take care of the earth segment." "And we, Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked. "We will fight with Queen Chrysalis." "It seems that we are left with the fun part, right?" "Okay. First of all, we have to eliminate the changelings that are spread through the city streets. We can not let any of them standing. Spitfire, Fluttershy, Cloudchaser and I will take care of it. We'll meet in Ponyville square and will spread each for one direction while the rest of you will prepare for the invasion. Everyone understood?" "Yes, Captain Dash!" They all said in unisom. "Then let's go!" ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Ponyville's Square, 10:24 A.M.] "Okay" Rainbow Dash said. "Cloudchaser, you go to the South. Spitfire goes to the East and Fluttershy goes to the West. I go to the North. Once all the changelings are eliminated, we meet here to go to join the others, understand?" "Yes, Captain!" That said, each of them followed the direction that was specified for them. (West Side of the city) "Keep your eyes open, soldiers. We can not let ourselves be surprised by anything." Said one of changelings. "Relax, boss. Who would have the courage to face us?" "Who? I will tell you who..." "Me!" Fluttershy said to the leader. "Yes. She- What? Guards! Capture her!" The guards tried to hit Fluttershy with energy rays, but before she was hit, she vanished into thin air. "What? Where did she go?" "Hey, head wind! I'm here!" She said from behind the soldiers. "What the-" As soon as the guards turned, they only had time to see the burst of energy coming toward them. A large explosion appeared and in place of the guards there was only one hole steaming. "Humpf, pathetic. Oh well, I'd better go find the others." (East side of the city) "Keep looking! I'm sure I saw her here!" "That's what you said last time!" Spitfire looked from the top of a cloud the changelings discussing. "How long will it take for them to see me here? I'm already getting bored. Okay... I'd better get this over with." She raised a hand toward the small army. "TAKE THIS!!!" The changelings looked up and saw a red light coming toward them and one of them said "I hate my job-" *BOOM!* "This should take care of them." Spitfire said with a grin on her face. (South side of the city) Cloudchaser looked the army that was surrounding her on all sides. It was a large group of soldiers who were ready to attack her. "Now we take you! Attack her!" The leader said. "You are detestable." She teleported leaving the changelings very confused. "Grrr... I hate when they do that." One of the changelings said. "I'll finish you!" Cloudchaser said from behind the army, holding a yellow energy disc on one hand. "DESTRUCTO DISC!!!" The disc went through each of the changelings leaving only a lot of bodies on the floor. Cloudchaser crossed her arms and said under her breath "Your weakness disgust me. I'd better go now." (North side of the city) Rainbow Dash walked through the streets, looking for the changelings Army. But when she turned a corner, she saw something that seemed impossible to have happened: Many changelings were scattered on the ground, as if they had just lost a fight. "Hmm ... Looks like someone got in front of me. But who would be strong enough to do this? I think about it later. Now, I'd better go find the others to continue with the plan." At that time, various thoughts passed through the head of the Rainbow Dash. Was there more members of the resistance free? And if there was, why they did not look for her? She continued walking without realizing the figure who was watching her in the shadows. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Ponyville's Square, 10:36 A.M.] "Okay girls. How was the mission?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Easy." "Boring." "Pathetic." "And you Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked the cyan pegasus. "How was your part?" Rainbow Dash paused. "A strange thing happened..." "Huh? Strange how?" "Never mind. That's not important. Let's go to the castle. The others must already be waiting for us." Rainbow Dash knew that if she told what happened and what she was thinking, various issues would be raised and perhaps this interrupted with the course of the mission. Then she thought better keep it to herself for now. Perhaps if the mission were successfully she could try to clarify all this. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Princess Twilight's Castle, 10:38 A.M.] "Queen Chrysalis! The army that was in the town was completely destroyed! "(Hmm... Looks like she's coming sooner than I expected.) Very well soldier. Keep me informed." The changeling bowed before leaving the Throne Room. Chrysalis looked out of the window and said "It seems that everything is going according to plan. Are you ready?" "Are you sure that if I join you I can fight with Rainbow Dash, right?" "You have my word." "I warn you that if you betray my trust I will not hesitate to blow you away!" "Do not worry. You can trust me... Applejack." Final Chapter[Princess Twilight's Castle, 10:45 A.M.] Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Spitfire and Cloudchaser approached the castle, trying hard not to be seen. "Spitfire and Cloudchaser, go to your posts. On my signal we start the mission." She looked around to make sure everything was prepared. "NOW!" Everyone jumped from where they were hiding and spread to fulfill every part of the mission given to them. "Aerial Team in position!" "Team Terrestrial ready!" "Rescue Team ready to rock!" "Let's go!" ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (Princess Twilight's Castle: High area) "Guards, keep your eyes open. Anything can happen." Said the leader of the aerial guards, but no one answered. "Guads? Answer me when I-" The leader turned and saw that none of his guards was there. He opened his mouth to ask what was going on but someone covered his mouth from behind him. "Shh..." Spitfire said. "I promise it will not hurt... much." And with a quick hand movement, she broke his neck. "Sleep well in eternity." "Stop playing! We have to wait for the transmission of the Rescue Team to find out if they already released the prisoners." "Fine. I'll wait in a cloud." (Princess Twilight's Castle: Lower area) "Hmpf. My speakers fight better than you." Vinyl said, looking at the guards around the ground. "Vinyl, you don't have any speakers." Octavia said. "Whatever. Oh well, I think I'll sit here and wait for news from the other teams." ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Hallways to the Dungeons, 10:49 A.M.] The Rescue Team ran toward the castle dungeon, attacking any guard they found along the way. Flitter and Cloudchaser were leading the way. "Stop!" The guards said. "Surrender!" But they were knocked out before they could act. "Continue! We're almost there!" Cloudchaser said. They kept running until they reached a large iron door. "Locked. As I suspected." Cloudchaser said crossing her arms. "No door will stay between me and the mission!" Flitter said approaching the door. "Uh... Flitter? What are you-" *POW!* Flitter struck the door with a powerful punch. Seconds after a sound was heard. *creeeeeeeeeee- CLANG!* The door fell and everyone was wide-eyed. They looked at Flitter as if they had seen a ghost. "What? Cloudchaser is not the only who trains hard on the family." "..." "You coming or not?" Flitter called. Everyone shook their heads and focused on the mission. Behind the door were the cells with the prisoners. "Release all of them, quickly!" Cloudchaser said. Once everyone were free, Cloudchaser picked up a small radio and tried to contact the others. "Hello? Is anyone listening to me?" "Soarin speaking. What the situation is, Cloudchaser?" "All prisoners are free. The guards were neutralized?" "Positive. The aerial part is clean. We are going to help with the prisoners. Soarin off." "Good. Now, let's see the other team. Vinyl, everything is ready for the escape?" "Ready. These guards will no longer be a problem. We're waiting for you out here. Vinyl off." "Okay. Let's go!" ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Entrance to the Throne Room, 10:58 A.M.] When she was in front of the Throne Room, Rainbow Dash's radio rang. "Hello, Captain? Are you listening?" "I'm here. What is the situation, Soarin?" "The guards were neutralized and the prisoners are free. What are the orders now?" "Take everyone to a safe place. I will put an end to it." "Okay Captain. Soarin off." "Okay, Fluttershy. Now it is with us. We have to defeat Queen Chrysalis." "Let's do it!" They opened the door and saw Queen Chrysalis in the throne with a guard in each side. "Rainbow Dash. Long time no see." Chrysalis said with a evil grin. "Chrysalis. Finally I will be able to defeat you and put an end to all this." "Hahaha! That's where you're wrong. It's not me that you will fight." "What? (I feel some strange energy around here. But it's... familiar... like if already had fought against it...)" "Hello, Rainbow Dash." Said a voice from behind the throne. "That voice... It can't be! It's you!" "Long time no see, my greatest rival." "Applejack. I never thought I'd see you again. What are you doing here?" "Chrysalis made me a proposal. She said if I joined her, I could fight you." "Applejack, have you lost your mind? How could you do this?" "For several years I was at your shadow, always one step behind you.All he did you could do better. I could not accept being the second best in everything." "That is why you left the town?" "Yes. I went out worldwide training to become stronger. I swore that one day I would beat you, and now I can finally have that pleasure." "Applejack, stop this! We haven't time for this! I need to finish the mission!" "If you want to reach the Queen Chrysalis, you'll have to beat me first." "Fluttershy, move away. I'll take care of her." "But Rainbow Dash-" "No! She is MY rival, not your." "Okay." "Alright, Applejack. BRING IT ON!!!" "AS YOU WISH!!!" They fought viciously. Each impact they had shook the castle. They collided in the center of the room and were measuring forces. "Applejack, don't do it! She's just using you to get me out of her way!" "That does not matter. If I can finish you, she can do whatever she want with the city." Queen Chrysalis, seeing an opportunity, launched a energy blast in the two rivals, which only had time to look to the side before an explosion hit them and covered the entire room with smoke. Rainbow Dash had his eyes closed waiting for the explosion of pain. She felt nothing. Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw what had happened: Fluttershy had stopped the blast! She turned to Rainbow Dash and smiled before collapsing to the floor. "FLUTTERSHY!!!" Rainbow Dash run to help her. Chrysalis was trying to escape when Applejack stopped her. "So, you dared to betray me?" She raised a hand towards Chrysalis. "Oh, that's no good-" "BIG BANG ATTACK!!!" Chrysalis was hit by a yellow energy blast, which sent her flying through the wall of the castle. Rainbow Dash approached her, carrying Fluttershy in her arms. "It's over Chrysalis. Your army lost. You lost." "No. It's not over yet." She took off and fly away. In the distance, they all heard her saying "I will come back. And when that happens, all of you will regret having faced me!" "Come back here! I'm not done with you!" Applejack said. "Let her go. As she said, she will return. And we'll be ready for it." Rainbow Dash started to walk away from the castle. "I knew you wouldn't let her win." Said a voice that seemed to come from nowhere. "What? (That voice... It can't be...)" Moments later, in a flash of violet light, she appeared. "Ah, it's good to be back." Said Princess Twilight Sparkle, dressed in her royal vest and crown. "Twilight! You're alive!" Rainbow said with a smile. "Yes. Too bad I can't say the same about Celestia and Luna." She stopped as she took notice of Fluttershy state. "What happened to Fluttershy? Is she alright?" "She'll be fine. Just need to rest." "Now that everything is solved Rainbow Dash," Applejack said "How about we finish our fight?" "You will never change, do you? It's all right. Twilight, could you hold Fluttershy for a while?" "Uh... Okay..." "Why the delay? Come on!" "Oh yeah!" "These two will never change." Twilight said with a grin. Epilogue[Everfree Forest, 04:37 P.M.] In the old castle of the royal sisters, Chrysalis was looking at what was left of her army. "Rainbow Dash became very strong. It's all right. For now I'll let her think she won. But I'll be back, and she'll fall on her knees before my power! Isn't that right, my secret weapon?" "Yes... My queen..." "You better start training if you want to beat your older sister... Scootaloo." "As you wish, my queen." "Oh Rainbow Dash... Soon you'll have a warm family reunion. Hahahahaha!
Chapter 1[Resistance's Hideout, 09:13 A.M.] "KAMEHAMEHA!!!" A power blast went through the training ground and hit the target right in the center, destroying it completely. Rainbow Dash, who shot the blast, was wearing her classical training clothes, an old black uniform of the Wonderbolts without the hood. "Rainbow Dash, you shouldn't use that much power. And if we are discovered by changelings?" Said Fluttershy, who wore a similar uniform, but in a grey color. "So I would defeat them in ten seconds flat! Remember, We are Saiyans. We are very strong and no one can beat us." "Some times you are very convinced, you know that?" Fluttershy rolled her eyes at this. "I'm not!" "Okay, okay! Calm down!" "Heh, sorry. It's hard to believe that twenty years ago you were shy..." "The war did this to me." "Now, is time to return to training." "Hey, Rainbow Dash, I..." "What is it now?" "Why don't you forget this whole thing of revenge and we go out of town to a place where we can start a new life?" "No! Those bugs will pay for what they did in the past! I will not rest until end all of this and save our city!" "Rainbow Dash..." "They took my younger sister. The only family I had. And if I leave everything as it is, they will invade other cities! I have to finish them off!" "You are right! We can not let it happen to others! You can count on my help!" "Thanks Fluttershy. You're a good friend." And then someone rushes on the training ground, saying "Captain Rainbow Dash! I have important news!" Rainbow Dash turned around to see who was. A yellow pegasus with a yellow and orange mane, wearing a blue uniform of Wonderbolts. "Spitfire? What is so important that you need to interrupt my training to tell me?" "We knew that one army of changelings is searching the members of the resistance! They will not take too long to get here!" "That is not good... I need more time to organize an attack on the castle. I need someone who can take down this army." "If you do not mind Captain Dash, Soarin, Lightning Dust and I can do it." "(Lightning Dust... And to think that one day we were enemies...) Right. You have my permission to KICK THE FACE OF THESE... uhh, I mean... you can go." After this, Spitfire saluted and went to gather the rest of her team to confront the army of changelings. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Ponyville's Square, 09:20 A.M.] "Keep looking! They must be here somewhere!" Said one of the changelings who was leading the army. "Hey hole head! I'm here!" Spitfire said, catching the army's attention. "It has one of them there! Catch her!" The army advanced on her, only to realize that in a blink of an eye she was gone. "What? Where did she go?" "Are you searching for me?" She said from above of a tree. The leader of the army groaned. "Kill her!" They started to shot green energy blasts at her, that stood still, as if nothing was happening. Seconds later, a big explosion appeared in the sky. "Good job guys. We have already managed to defeat one of them." The leader said looking the explosion with a smirk on his face. "Do you really think so?" Spitfire said, appearing in front of the leader. "What the-" *PUNCH* He was interrupted by a punch in the face that sent him flying backward. "Look at that over there." Spitfire said pointing to the side of the army. As soon as they looked to the side, they were surprised by a huge burst of energy that made them disappear completely. "Humpf. That was too easy." Soarin said. "Not even a challenge." Lightning Dust finished. "Yeah, I know. Let's go back to the hideout." After that they left the site. Little did they know they were being watched. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Princess Twilight's Castle, 09:31 A.M.] "Queen Chrysalis! I have news of the army!" Said a changeling running inside the Throne Room. "So? The army found the members of the resistance?" She asked. "No. The army has been completely destroyed by three very strong individuals." "WHAT!" She yelled, before calm down again. "Grrr... Okay. You can go now." The changeling bowed before leaving the throne room. "I took a long time to get all of this. I will not let a stupid Pegasus take it from me!" Chrysalis stared at the outside of a nearby window, watching everything she had accomplished. "Sooner or later you will have to face me, Rainbow Dash. After all, I have something you want very! Hahahahahahahaha!" She gave an evil laugh that could awaken the dead from so scary it was. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Everfree Forest, 09:52 A.M.] Inside the Everfree forest, a orange mare with a blonde mane was training punching trees and rocks. She stopped in front of a rock that looked three times higher than her. She reached a hand toward the rock and an energy ball appeared in front of her. "BIG BANG ATTACK!!!" In a flash of yellow light, the rock exploded completely, leaving only a hole in the place of the explosion. The mare crossed her arms and said "It seems that my training is complete. Time to show these changelings what I can do. I will defeat them all, or my name isn't Applejack!" She started to make her way out of the forest. "Wait for me Rainbow Dash. I will be stronger than you."
Chapter 2[Resistance's Hideout, 10:01 A.M.] "Captain Dash, the mission was a success!" Spitfire said saluting as she entered. She noticed that all the Resistance was gathered there. "On the right time. We're almost ready to attack." Rainbow Dash said looking at a map of the castle. "Okay, I'll explain the plan: Our primary objective is to free the prisoners. The dungeons are two levels below the throne room. Flitter, Cloudchaser and a small group will be in charge of it. Once everyone is free, we have to neutralize the guards. Spitfire, Soarin and Lightning Dust will take care of the aerial part while Vinyl, Lyra, Bon Bon and Octavia will take care of the earth segment." "And we, Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked. "We will fight with Queen Chrysalis." "It seems that we are left with the fun part, right?" "Okay. First of all, we have to eliminate the changelings that are spread through the city streets. We can not let any of them standing. Spitfire, Fluttershy, Cloudchaser and I will take care of it. We'll meet in Ponyville square and will spread each for one direction while the rest of you will prepare for the invasion. Everyone understood?" "Yes, Captain Dash!" They all said in unisom. "Then let's go!" ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Ponyville's Square, 10:24 A.M.] "Okay" Rainbow Dash said. "Cloudchaser, you go to the South. Spitfire goes to the East and Fluttershy goes to the West. I go to the North. Once all the changelings are eliminated, we meet here to go to join the others, understand?" "Yes, Captain!" That said, each of them followed the direction that was specified for them. (West Side of the city) "Keep your eyes open, soldiers. We can not let ourselves be surprised by anything." Said one of changelings. "Relax, boss. Who would have the courage to face us?" "Who? I will tell you who..." "Me!" Fluttershy said to the leader. "Yes. She- What? Guards! Capture her!" The guards tried to hit Fluttershy with energy rays, but before she was hit, she vanished into thin air. "What? Where did she go?" "Hey, head wind! I'm here!" She said from behind the soldiers.

She raised a hand toward the small army. "TAKE THIS!!!" The changelings looked up and saw a red light coming toward them and one of them said "I hate my job-" *BOOM!* "This should take care of them." Spitfire said with a grin on her face. (South side of the city) Cloudchaser looked the army that was surrounding her on all sides. It was a large group of soldiers who were ready to attack her. "Now we take you! Attack her!" The leader said. "You are detestable." She teleported leaving the changelings very confused. "Grrr... I hate when they do that." One of the changelings said.

The disc went through each of the changelings leaving only a lot of bodies on the floor. Cloudchaser crossed her arms and said under her breath "Your weakness disgust me. I'd better go now."

Looks like someone got in front of me. But who would be strong enough to do this? I think about it later. Now, I'd better go find the others to continue with the plan." At that time, various thoughts passed through the head of the Rainbow Dash. Was there more members of the resistance free? And if there was, why they did not look for her? She continued walking without realizing the figure who was watching her in the shadows. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Ponyville's Square, 10:36 A.M.] "Okay girls.

"Are you sure that if I join you I can fight with Rainbow Dash, right?" "You have my word." "I warn you that if you betray my trust I will not hesitate to blow you away!" "Do not worry. You can trust me... Applejack."
Final Chapter[Princess Twilight's Castle, 10:45 A.M.] Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Spitfire and Cloudchaser approached the castle, trying hard not to be seen. "Spitfire and Cloudchaser, go to your posts. On my signal we start the mission." She looked around to make sure everything was prepared. "NOW!" Everyone jumped from where they were hiding and spread to fulfill every part of the mission given to them. "Aerial Team in position!" "Team Terrestrial ready!" "Rescue Team ready to rock!" "Let's go!" ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (Princess Twilight's Castle: High area) "Guards, keep your eyes open. Anything can happen." Said the leader of the aerial guards, but no one answered. "Guads? Answer me when I-" The leader turned and saw that none of his guards was there. He opened his mouth to ask what was going on but someone covered his mouth from behind him. "Shh..." Spitfire said. "I promise it will not hurt... much." And with a quick hand movement, she broke his neck. "Sleep well in eternity." "Stop playing! We have to wait for the transmission of the Rescue Team to find out if they already released the prisoners." "Fine. I'll wait in a cloud." (Princess Twilight's Castle: Lower area) "Hmpf. My speakers fight better than you." Vinyl said, looking at the guards around the ground. "Vinyl, you don't have any speakers." Octavia said. "Whatever. Oh well, I think I'll sit here and wait for news from the other teams." ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Hallways to the Dungeons, 10:49 A.M.] The Rescue Team ran toward the castle dungeon, attacking any guard they found along the way. Flitter and Cloudchaser were leading the way. "Stop!" The guards said. "Surrender!" But they were knocked out before they could act. "Continue! We're almost there!" Cloudchaser said. They kept running until they reached a large iron door. "Locked. As I suspected." Cloudchaser said crossing her arms. "No door will stay between me and the mission!" Flitter said approaching the door. "Uh... Flitter? What are you-" *POW!* Flitter struck the door with a powerful punch. Seconds after a sound was heard. *creeeeeeeeeee- CLANG!* The door fell and everyone was wide-eyed. They looked at Flitter as if they had seen a ghost. "What? Cloudchaser is not the only who trains hard on the family." "..." "You coming or not?" Flitter called. Everyone shook their heads and focused on the mission. Behind the door were the cells with the prisoners. "Release all of them, quickly!" Cloudchaser said. Once everyone were free, Cloudchaser picked up a small radio and tried to contact the others. "Hello? Is anyone listening to me?" "Soarin speaking. What the situation is, Cloudchaser?" "All prisoners are free. The guards were neutralized?" "Positive. The aerial part is clean. We are going to help with the prisoners. Soarin off." "Good. Now, let's see the other team. Vinyl, everything is ready for the escape?" "Ready. These guards will no longer be a problem. We're waiting for you out here. Vinyl off." "Okay. Let's go!" ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Entrance to the Throne Room, 10:58 A.M.] When she was in front of the Throne Room, Rainbow Dash's radio rang. "Hello, Captain? Are you listening?" "I'm here. What is the situation, Soarin?" "The guards were neutralized and the prisoners are free. What are the orders now?" "Take everyone to a safe place. I will put an end to it." "Okay Captain. Soarin off." "Okay, Fluttershy. Now it is with us. We have to defeat Queen Chrysalis." "Let's do it!" They opened the door and saw Queen Chrysalis in the throne with a guard in each side. "Rainbow Dash. Long time no see." Chrysalis said with a evil grin. "Chrysalis. Finally I will be able to defeat you and put an end to all this." "Hahaha! That's where you're wrong. It's not me that you will fight." "What? (I feel some strange energy around here. But it's... familiar... like if already had fought against it...)" "Hello, Rainbow Dash." Said a voice from behind the throne. "That voice... It can't be! It's you!" "Long time no see, my greatest rival." "Applejack. I never thought I'd see you again. What are you doing here?" "Chrysalis made me a proposal. She said if I joined her, I could fight you." "Applejack, have you lost your mind? How could you do this?" "For several years I was at your shadow, always one step behind you.All he did you could do better. I could not accept being the second best in everything." "That is why you left the town?" "Yes. I went out worldwide training to become stronger. I swore that one day I would beat you, and now I can finally have that pleasure." "Applejack, stop this! We haven't time for this! I need to finish the mission!" "If you want to reach the Queen Chrysalis, you'll have to beat me first." "Fluttershy, move away. I'll take care of her." "But Rainbow Dash-" "No! She is MY rival, not your." "Okay." "Alright, Applejack. BRING IT ON!!!" "AS YOU WISH!!!" They fought viciously. Each impact they had shook the castle. They collided in the center of the room and were measuring forces. "Applejack, don't do it! She's just using you to get me out of her way!" "That does not matter. If I can finish you, she can do whatever she want with the city." Queen Chrysalis, seeing an opportunity, launched a energy blast in the two rivals, which only had time to look to the side before an explosion hit them and covered the entire room with smoke. Rainbow Dash had his eyes closed waiting for the explosion of pain. She felt nothing. Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw what had happened: Fluttershy had stopped the blast! She turned to Rainbow Dash and smiled before collapsing to the floor. "FLUTTERSHY!!!" Rainbow Dash run to help her. Chrysalis was trying to escape when Applejack stopped her. "So, you dared to betray me?" She raised a hand towards Chrysalis. "Oh, that's no good-" "BIG BANG ATTACK!!!" Chrysalis was hit by a yellow energy blast, which sent her flying through the wall of the castle. Rainbow Dash approached her, carrying Fluttershy in her arms. "It's over Chrysalis. Your army lost. You lost." "No. It's not over yet." She took off and fly away. In the distance, they all heard her saying "I will come back. And when that happens, all of you will regret having faced me!" "Come back here! I'm not done with you!" Applejack said. "Let her go. As she said, she will return. And we'll be ready for it." Rainbow Dash started to walk away from the castle. "I knew you wouldn't let her win." Said a voice that seemed to come from nowhere. "What? (That voice... It can't be...)" Moments later, in a flash of violet light, she appeared. "Ah, it's good to be back." Said Princess Twilight Sparkle, dressed in her royal vest and crown. "Twilight! You're alive!" Rainbow said with a smile. "Yes. Too bad I can't say the same about Celestia and Luna." She stopped as she took notice of Fluttershy state. "What happened to Fluttershy? Is she alright?" "She'll be fine. Just need to rest." "Now that everything is solved Rainbow Dash," Applejack said "How about we finish our fight?" "You will never change, do you? It's all right. Twilight, could you hold Fluttershy for a while?" "Uh... Okay..." "Why the delay? Come on!" "Oh yeah!" "These two will never change." Twilight said with a grin.
Epilogue[Everfree Forest, 04:37 P.M.] In the old castle of the royal sisters, Chrysalis was looking at what was left of her army. "Rainbow Dash became very strong. It's all right. For now I'll let her think she won. But I'll be back, and she'll fall on her knees before my power! Isn't that right, my secret weapon?" "Yes... My queen..." "You better start training if you want to beat your older sister... Scootaloo." "As you wish, my queen." "Oh Rainbow Dash... Soon you'll have a warm family reunion. Hahahahaha!
