Celestia is coming. Dash knew it. She just kew it.
She wasn't ready for it. There was no way the pegasus could possibly win a fight against her own mother. And an army of guards nonetheless.

But Rainbow didn't have choice. She had to be ready to fight, if she wanted to or not. It was time to put an end to this torture. This slavery her mother was doing to Equestria. The suffering.

"Dash?" The pegasus spent hours staring outside thrugh the window into the night sky. She didn't move when Twilight approached her.

"She is coming." Was all she said. Her eyes never left the sky.

"Who?" Twilight asked softly as she sat next to her.

"My mother."

"How can you be so sure? Like I told you before, she didn't do anything until now, so why would she-"

"Because i know her!" Dash suddenly flared her wings in anger and glared at the alicorn. Twilight was taken aback. She knew Dash was tense, but something told her that it was more than her magic. Dash was scared.

"What do you think she's gonna do?"

"I'm not sure. All I know is what I've seen in my visions. She's sending guards. A lot of guards.. She has them under her control. They sucked out my magic before we escaped, remember?" Twilight nodded. "She has them all under her control."

"All of them?! But that would be like the Changelings! There are hundreds- if not thausands of guards! And she is controlling every single one of them?! How strong is your magic?!?!" Twilight shrieked. Dash could feel the fear Twilight was feeling. It wasn't helping her none. In fact. it made her worry even more. Her glance went back to the night sky.

Twilight noticed this. She tried to change the subject. "You still don't want to take your anti depressants?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't need them."

Twilight thought back to only a few weeks ago, when the pegasus had once again tried to kill herself.

"Are you sure about that?"

"Positive."

"Alright.. but at the first sign, you tell me and you're gonna take them."

Dash sighed. "Fine."

"I'm here for you, no matter what. And so are all our friends. You know that." Twilight said, snuggling up to the pegasus.

"Yeah.."

And that's why I'm gonna save you all...

Rainbow Dash woke up with a start that night. She hd another vision about Celestia. Looking around, she noticed that both Twilight and Spike were still asleep.
She got up and went to the window she spent to much time looking thrugh earlier. Judging by the moon stance, she figured it must have been around midnight.

She felt like she was being called. On auto pilot she opened the window and glanced one last time at the sleeping alicorn she loved so much.

"Don't worry. I'm gonna put an end to this. And then you'll be safe."

With that she took to the air and flew through the window.

At almost Sonic Rainboom speed the nearly white pegasus flew to the Canterlot Castle. From a few hundred meters away she could already see the huge army of royal guards.

No time to be afraid now. She thought as she crashed at full speed into the army of guards.
Breaking through the huge doors, Dash was getting pumped with adrenaline. It didn't take long for her to find the alicorn. Celestia sat on her throne with her eyes closed in concentration while her horn glowed in all colors of the rainbow.

She was using Dash's magic. Wasting no time, the pegasus jumped on her, throwing her off her throne.

"Aurora, you are here. What honor, and delight." She grinned evil.

"Stop this right now! You can't take control over everypony!!!"

"Oh, I can't do that? We shall see about that!" Celestia blasted a spell to throw the pegasus off of her. Dash only yelped in surprise and grunted as she crashed against a wall.

"Guards! End her! Once and for all!" Celestia called. Within the blink of an eye hundreds of guards stormed in and ran towards Rainbow Dash. The first ten, twenty, thirty guads were not much of a problem. It was when fifteen took hold of her at once that she didn't have much of a chance anymore.

"Last words, oh my traitorish daughter?" Celestia grinned, her horn charged and ready to shoot, as she came nearer. Step for step.

"Where is Luna?!"

"Oh, you wish to see her? Dearest sister, why don't you join us for a moment?" Celestia said as she turned to the side. Rainbow saw the princess of the night approaching. But to her horror, she had that look on her face. That mind-controlled sight in her eyes.

"YOU MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!" Dash screamed as she struggled in the guard's grips to get free. She panted heavily. Having not eaten in days was getting back at her now.

I wish my friends were here... I wish Twilight ws here..

"Oh how cute. Do you really think your friends ever cared about you?"

Rainbow Dash looked up. Was she for real? That was the worst lie she had ever heard.

"Don't tell yourself lies, my daughter. Your 'friends' are afraid of you. Because the only monster here is you."

Dash felt her magical power rise up into unbelievable levels. Her magenta eyes glowed in a deep red and rainbow hued winds started forming all aroud her, soon blowing the guards and any furniture in the castle around.
A strong blow of the magical wind hit Celestia and her horn stopped glowing immediately, freeing all the mind-controlled ponies.

"WHAT?!" Celestia shrieked before another, much stronger burst of magic hit her when Dash flapped her wings towards her.

*BOOOOOOOM*

Twilight and Spike, and probably most of Ponyville and Canterlot, awoke that night to the sound of the loudest explosion in their entire lifes. The purple alicorn and dragon ran to the open window to see a huge colorful hue in the air, that covered most of the night sky.
Twilight remembered when Dash had done something like this, when they wanted to tell their friends and her magic got too strong. She remembered what Dash had told her the morning after her suicide attempt.

Everything was perfect.. and then came the day I did that damn Sonic Rainboom. You know.. it's actually some kind of Aura Storm, produced by my magic...
An Aura Storm...

Then she remembered what Celestia had told her.

"If she can't control her magic, it would overtake her and she would die from the impact. You know what happens when unicorn magic is too powerful for the caster?"

Twilight nodded. A cool shiver went down her spine by the thought.

"It's the same with her magic. You know that she already has a powerful Pegasi magic. What do you think how powerful her secret magic is?"

"Oh no! Rainbow!" Twilight said and took off through the window. Spike didn't know what exactly happened, but the way Twilight was acting, it involved Dash. And whatever that was, it wasn't good.

Twilight thought she would do a Sonic Rainboom herself, she flew so fast. She gasped in shock when she saw the state the castle was in. The roof was missing on some places, the window glasses were shattered and smoke was rising from it. She got really scared for her dear friend.

"Rainbow! Can you hear me?!" Twilight called as she flew slow circles around the broken castle.

When she didn't get an answer, she tried again. "Rainbow!!!"

Then she remembered something.

The very thing that started this all.

Her spell.

Concentrating on the spell, she was hoping for the best.

And to her luck, her spell detected Rainbow magic. That meant she was still alive!

Twilight followed the magical trace until it it was strong enough for her to know where the pegasus was.

She flew in through a hole in the roof and started digging with her magic in the wreckage. Fortunately it didn't take her long until she was greeted by magenta eyes smiling back at her. Dash was alive. And concious.

"Rainbow.." Twilight felt her eyes start to water.

"Miss me?" Her answer was being pulled into a tight hug. For a moment Dash thought Twilight was going to kill her, it was so tight.

Then, to her surprise, Twilight planted a huge kiss on her cheek.

"Don't you dare do something like that ever again!!!!" The alicorn yelled as she pulle away.

"I promise."

"Aurora! Twilight! You are alright!" A third voice joined in.

Twilight released the pegasus and they both turned their heads to meet a familiar face.

"Princess Luna!" they both said happily.

"We are so glad that you are alright. And grateful for your rescue. Our sisters mind was taken over like ours once was." Luna bowed in front of the two ponies.

Twilight then realized something. "Where is Celestia, anyways?"

Dash and Luna looked up through a hole in the roof, into the still colorful sky.

"You didn't.." Twilight started.

Dash smirked at the alicorn. "Somepony is gonna have a looooong vacation on the sun."

They all shared a laugh.

"I'm sorry about the wreckage, though." Dash said to Luna.

"It is alright. We will take care of it and repair the damages. After all, it got damaged in your fight with your own mother."

"Yeah.."

"Come on, I think we should go home. I bet our friends are already waiting for us. They must be worried sick." Twiligt said. Luna nodded.

"Go. We will be alright. You must see your friends." The princess of the night said.

Twilight and Dash nodded to her and each other.

After a long explanation from Dash about her visions and how she defeated her own mother, her friends were shocked. Who would have thought that the princess they all trusted the most would turn into something worse than Nightmare Moon?

All in all, it is the understanding of the year that they were all more than glad it was finally over.

"You guys know what this calls for, right? A PARTY!!!" Pinkie exclaimed.

Her friends laughed with the pink party pony.

Some things never change. But that doesn't mean it has to be a bad thing.
