Demise in Equestria

As I zoomed through the sky the wind whipped through my mane. That was one of the reasons I wore it short, long hair just gets caught in your eyes. Being the fastest flyer in Equestria can make it to if you crash you cause a lot of damage not just to buildings but to yourself. I learned that the hard way, although I wouldn't have changed it for the world. After all if I hadn't I would have never discovered the Daring Doo books. Anyways flying was the only thing I could rely on to always feel as free as I was. To leave the ground and watch it speed away below me, it was as if all of my problems were whooshed away. I knew I was the best and there was nothing that could prove that wrong.

As I whisped through following that rainbow trail I saw the little cyan mare. Ha, she had no idea what she was in for. I noticed she was fast, really fast. But compared to my newfound abilities to alter reality I could change that. I never had this power when my brothers ruled, now that I was on my own I could have the same powers they once had when they ravenged and pillaged this retched land of judgmental creatures. Soon though they would know the true power of me. Suddenly the mare swooped down from the sky and spoke with a pale yellow one.

"Hey Shy, where ya goin'?" I asked Fluttershy.

"Oh, hi Dash, I'm just going to the market to get some medicine for Angel, he's really sick right now." she replied.

"Oh really?"  I said genuinly concerned, "Well I hope he get's better soon, that way he can see me tryout for the Wonderbolts in the open auditions this coming month." I told her with pride.

"Oh I heard about that," she told me, "I hope you do well."

"Hope?" I said smugly, "Ha, trust me Shy all I gotta do is show 'em my on command Sonic Rainboom and I'm a shoe in."

"That'll surely get you in." she told me.

I let her on her way, she had a lot of animals to take care of, she was always busy with something.

This was perfect, one feeding just led to the other here. Rainbow Dash with her story for the Wonderbolts. All I had to do was break her spirit, as for the yellow one, hoho, my work was cut out for me. The one called Angel had fallen ill. All it would take was a little 'push' and down goes the tears and my power will rise again. I quickly change my form and prepare to put my plan into motion.

Just as I'm preparing to take off something stops me, a whisper in my ear.

Your victories give you your pride,

you belive you've already won.

Let us take break you down inside,

and see what damage we have done.

"What the hay is that supposed to mean?" I shouted spinning around, nothing. What was that? I turned around and was about to take off but found myself looking onto the red glowing eyes of an all black stallion with a white bolt of lightning on his flank.

"Who are you supposed to be?" I asked.

"I am the one and only Blitz Bolts my dear." he said, he really talked funny but I payed no mind.

"And you are?" I laughed, he payed no attention to my disinterest.

"Haha, my dear I hear you are trying out for the Wonderbolts." he said.

"Ya? What of it?" I said one eyebrow raised, it kinda sounded like he was dissing my idols.

"Well," he said walking past me then glancing back with a creepy eye, "it is just that they have been BEGGING me to join them for years." He said, NOW I was mad.

"What? You are telling me that THE Wonderbolts ASKED you-"

"Begged," he corrected, "is more a proper term dearie."

"You don't look like much" I shot at him looking at his small wings.

"You would be surprised first glances can only mean underestimating your opponent." he said unfurling his massive wings, they were magnificent. They expanded nearly eight feet across.

"So what do you say?" he asked.

"Wha-what?" I said still stunned by his display.

"Let us race," he said, "to see who is best"

"Your on buddy!" I accepted his challenge.

We took our places at the imaginary start line.

"Ready?" I said.

"Set" he replied.

"GO!" I zoomed off and looked back to see him still at the start.

I began to laugh, that is until he took of and almost immediately caught up to me.

We were now side by side, my wings beat furiously as I pushed forward I could feel the sound barrier pushing against me. I was almost there, suddenly, BOOM!

But it wasn't me, a black stream of nothingness zoomed past me. The force of it knocked me off course I went crashing to the ground. The black stallion landed firmly next to me.

"You see now," he said to me, I was still lying on the ground both my pride and body was in pain, "your Sonic Rainboom has nothing on my Cosmic Rift." he said.

"I can fly fast enough to temporarily rip a hole in reality. Your acctually LUCKY, had you been sucked in you would have never been heard from again. Face it Rainbow Crash, to me you'll always just be second best."

And that's when he took off.

I took off and disipated, I watched the little pegasus and laughed. She was so concerned with being number one she acctually felt sad about being beaten. After I was done with this land she'd have more to worry about than those Wonderbolts. I took off to find that yellow mare, she was going to be the next target of mine.

I came up to Fluttershy's cottage but she wasn't there. I let myself in, Angel was in a bed with a bowl of soup beside him. He looked sick, and grumpy as usual.

"Hello Angel." I said. He only turned his nose up at me in response, "have you seen Fluttershy?" I knew I wasn't going to get a speech for a response but at least a notion of some sort is what I expected. He refused to tell me.

"Ok, well if you see her can you point her to my library? I'd really like to talk to her." He simply shrugged.

"Thanks Angel." I said as I left. I had to warn somepony maybe I would try to see if I could find Rainbow. Something was definately up and I had to find out just what it was.
