As Speedy and Twilight left Manehatten and got on the highway, Twilight couldn't help but think about what he said. ‘dead for fifteen years?’ Twilight thought ‘what happened that had me killed?’ Twilight kept pondering this thought until a beeping sound filled the car.

“Shit” Speedy said agitated “We're low on gas. I'll have to stop and refuel.”

Speedy kept driving on the road for a few more minutes before pulling off the highway and pulled into the local gas station. He got out just as the gas station manager yelled through the speaker."We're closed! Go somewhere else to refuel!”

Speedy pressed the response button to talk. “I'm a tournament competitor, I need fuel for the drive to Fillydelphia”

Twilight and Speedy heard static until the manager came back on. “Sorry about that. What fuel do you need?”

“Race fuel, full tank” Speedy said as he put the pump nozzle into the car's gas tank. “I'd go to the bathroom if I were you. Fillydelphia is a long drive.” Speedy said to Twilight. She took his advice and got out and walked to the bathrooms.

Meanwhile Speedy noticed a familiar noise as he was refueling. ‘you gotta be kidding me’ he thought to himself ‘why of all places it has to be here?!’ Then a white ice cream truck pulled in and the driver got out.

Speedy tried not to notice as the masked pink mare walked past, and the sound of her machete scraping against his car. Then he sighed in relief as she walked past into the station. “You're paying for that Sweet Treat.” he muttered. As the mare entered the station she soon noticed a familiar looking mare walk out of the bathroom and instantly went towards her.

As Twilight got done in the bathroom she was suddenly grabbed and pinned against the wall. As she struggled she felt heat coming from whatever held her, and heard a familiar voice. “Well well well…...looks like I found you.” the mare said. Twilight then saw the pink pony with her signature clown mask.

“Pink…….Pinkie Pie?” Twilight said nervous. She noticed a certain change in the mares appearance, she became more rigid and her breathing got faster. Then Twilight was suddenly thrown to the ground “She's dead! She's been dead! I'm Sweet Treat!” Sweet Treat said to Twilight. “And now I'm gonna finished what I started!” she said as she prepared to swing her machete.

Twilight braced for the swing when Sweet Treat’s machete was flung out of her hoof. They both turned to see Speedy holding his gun aimed at them. “Let her go Sweet Treat! You know you can't kill during this time.” Twilight struggled within Sweet Treat’s grasp until she let go, leaving Twilight coughing and gasping for air.

"You have no part of this" Sweet Treat said to Speedy "this is between her and me."

"Well actually she's helping me with this. So she's technically my gunner and navigator. So I suggest you leave otherwise Celestio might hear about this." Speedy said grinning at the pink mare

Sweet Treat growled and walked directly into Speedys face "I'll see you in Fillydelphia " then turned toward her truck and drove away.

Twilight looked out the car window silent as Speedy drove towards Fillydelphia. She was in a deep thought on what happened to cause all this. She had to ask somepony what happened, to her, to her friends, to Equestria.

“What happened all those years ago?” Twilight said to herself. Speedy heard her and sighed “Fifteen years ago, Princess Celestia changed from her normal self. Nopony knows what happened but she became…..dark.”

“The Elements of Harmony tried to stop her but failed….badly. I think Applejack was killed in the fight and Twi…...you, were killed by Celestia, or Celestio as she calls herself. Afterwards the rest split apart and Celestio started Twisted Metal. She enjoyed watching everypony fight for the one thing they wanted: their greatest wish ever.”

“Some of the Elements actually decided to compete in the tournament. I know Rainbow Dash has competed a couple times and have won, and Sweet Treat, or Pinkie Pie as you know her, has also won a couple times. I joined the tournament for one thing: to get back at those who killed my family. I vowed to myself that I will end this once and for all."

Twilight was in awe as all of this was said to her. But just as she was about to ask for more the radio came on. “Welcome everypony to the official Twisted Metal Radio with your host: DJ Pon3. Today we are interviewing fellow Twisted Metal competitor Rainbow “Ms. Grimm” Dash. Welcome to the show Ms. Grimm.”

“The pleasures mine. Now let's get this over with please.” Ms. Grimm said. “alright then. Why don't you tell us why you're doing the tournament?” the DJ said. “Well about ten to twelve years ago me and my sister Scootaloo were kidnapped by a pack of griffons. They locked us in a hole for weeks with no food or water. Then about a week on Scoots got very sick. I screamed for help but their leader showed up.”

“She was a old friend from flight school named Gilda. She threw down a knife saying the only way to survive is to eat. I knew what she meant but I refused to do so. I would never eat my own sister to save my life. After a few more days Scootaloo died and I was all alone.”

“A few weeks later I gave in. I took the knife and…….you okay?” They then heard what sounded like somepony vomiting. “Yeah…..just a little nauseous….” the DJ. “Whatever. Anyways, after two more weeks some royal guards found me and her remains. I made the mask I'm wearing out of her skull” which followed by another vomiting sound from the DJ.

“I refused to take it off and was arrested. Few years later Celestio asked if I wanted to enter the competition. I agree to do so, for my greatest wish is for that bitch Gilda to get what she rightfully deserves. Now I gotta get going.” As the sounds of her walking faded out the DJ spoke again, with a difference in her voice.

“Well…..that was Ms.Grimm folks. She will be in Fillydelphia tomorrow for the first round of the tournament. As always I'm DJ Pon3 and I hope you enjoyed this broadcast.” the radio then cut to static as Speedy and Twilight saw the Fillydelphia exit sign. The first round was gonna start soon.

Author's Note

Well here's a little backstory for Rainbow Dash. But there will be still questions. "Why is Pinkie Pie now Sweet Treat?" "What did Twilight do to Pinkie?" "Where's the rest of the Mane Six?" Thise questions will be answered.......eventually. But as of now I hope you enjoyed this chapter and will start writing for round one: Fillydelphia.
