This story is set before the events of Season 5.

Rainbow Dash is the Element of Loyalty. Through thick or thin, regardless of what may happen, she'll always be by her friend's side, guarding their back. But what happens when the unthinkable happens?

Killed by a freak accident, Rainbow Dash finds her soul drifting. Though she's dead, her unbreakable loyalty to her friends brings her back. But while death cannot stop Rainbow Dash, her return may hurt her friends more than her death ever did.
