I soared throught the air, spiraling downward at speeds that made the wind whistle in my ears. Just before I  hit the ground I pulled up, I wasn't fast enough. CRASH! I hit the ground and skid through the dirt, I got up dusted myself off and spit out the grit in my teeth. I sat down, defeated, Blitz was right I would never be number one. I base my life on that, now... it seemed I had nothing to have a goal for. All of my dreams were crushed before my hooves, maybe I could get a job as a mailmare.

"Raibow?" I heard Twilight behind me, I tried to wipe my face but she still saw me, "are you ok? Oh no don't tell me."

"Ya," I told her once more my muzzle to the grass, defeated, "I'm a loser I know." she said.

"What happened?" she said sounding a little overexagerated.

"Blitz beat me in a race." I told her.

"Blitz?" she said sounding confused.

"I know, I didn't hear about him before today either. He challenged me to a race, I was winning at first but he has this move called the Cosmic Riftboom." I told her how it seemed as if is sucked reality into it, and what he told me about it. It was like six tones of black shades streaked through the sky.

"Rainbow." she said to me, "that stallion was a fake"

My ears perked up now, "What?" I said.

I explained to her how it was just a manifestation of our own sadness created over six thousand years ago. I told her how if we didn't defeat it we would all suffer.

"Well common than." Rainbow shot into the sky, "Let's kick this Demise guys flank... uh, he does have a flank right?" Rainbow asked.

"Uh, well my book didn't say exactly what an Entite looks like." I said sheepisly, after all my books had always been able to answer any question.

"So what's the plan Twilight!" Rainbow stated eagerly.

"Well first we need to round up the others," I told her, "Were going to use the Elements of Harmony against Demise to return him to his imprisonment in the dimensions between." I told her, "You go find Fluttershy I'll find the others I know where they are."

We set off, I went to find Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie.

As I sat above the clouds with the pale yellow mare in my claws, I laughed at the foolish ponies attempts to launch a counter attack against me.

"Please..." the yellow one pleaded to me, "please let me go." she whispere.

I laughed, "Little one you are part of this plan of mine, I need you alive for this. You will help bring this land to Demise, you will help me bring Univera to her knees."

I laughed once more, now was the time for Demise to truly take this land.

I found Rarity still weeping over the dead body of her sister. She stood when she heard me, she wiped her tears and looked at me.

"It. Is. ON!" she said, "Let's take this thing down Twilight"

I nodded my head, we started in the direction of my library, one to pick up my element and two so that I could get Spike. I didn't feel he was safe by himself.

Spike was still safe, we headed towards Pinkies place, she was still waiting in the dark.

"Pinkie?" I said walking up to my sulking friend, she was in the corner.

"What do you want?" she said, "Come to tell me you don't wanna me friends anymore?" she told me as if I had done something.

"No, Pinkie we need your help." I told her.

"Darling we can't defeat Demise if your not here to help." Rarity told her.

"Oh ya?" she said turning around, "and why should I help you left me here Twilight, you didn't even wanna talk to me before now you want me to help you?" she was hurt I could tell.

"Pinkie," I told her stepping closer, "were not doing this for us were doing it for everypony." I explained, "do it for Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake, if you don't then they'll have to grow up in a world of eternal sadness. Even if you can't see them, don't you want them to at least be happy?" I could tell my words had sunk in.

She went over to a drawer where confetti and balloons shot out of it.

"Usually that cheers me up." she said with a frown. She picke up her Element and put it on.

Celestia had decided the best place for them was with us, at least since the Discord incedent.

We headed off towars Rarity's place to get her Element and then to Sweet Apple Acres.

When we reached the farm we arrived to Big Macintosh and Applejack arguing. Big Macintosh left with a suitcase I assumed was his belongings. Applejack sat on the porch, apparently it was her, and not Rainbow Dash, that I was supposed to see. I hadn't thought of the fact that she seemed fine when Iast saw her. My assumtion was that Demise had already gotten to her and had given Granny Smith her disease. But that's when I realized that Granny Smith had become ill before Demise had come.

"Is everything ok?" I asked my friend, she shook her head.

"Granny just died," she said, "and Big Mac blames me fer overshadowin' him fer years and ran off." She opened her eyes and looked at me with so much sadness, "AB's mad at me and Ah'm not gunna be able ta buck the apples this season. Ah lost everthin' in one day Twilight." I could see she was hit the hardest, Demise had hit one pin and knocked the rest of them loose.

"Applejack we need your help." I told her.

That's when Rainbow zoomed out of the sky.

"There you guys are." she said.

I turned to face her.

"Where's Fluttershy?" I asked.

Dash looked down before she answered, "I couldn't find her I looked everywhere." I could tell she was worried. Now we had a big problem. According to Demises warning, he would destroy Ponyville by sundown.And Fluttershy was nowhere to be found...
