Wrath of the Pony Gods

Celestia's news that Blast had caused his timeline to become a separate reality didn't stop the group's training. They still gave it everything they had. Rainbow Dash had been the first to go one on one with her son. Her overconfidence started showing when she said, "You may be my son, but I'm still gonna beat you in ten seconds flat!"

Blast's face showed no signs of emotion of any kind. He still wasn't taking the news that he had messed up big time very well. But despite that he said, "Don't get cocky mom, I won't be holding back." he powered up into his Super Equestrian form and prepared himself.

Rainbow Dash flew at him, throwing her hooves at her son, but he dodged every swing. As she realized that Super Equestrian didn't only increase power, but also speed, she started to get angry. She looked for her son, who had disappeared.

Twilight yelled up to her saying, "Don't trust your eyes, try to hone in on his Ki!"

Rainbow Dash nodded to herself and closed her eyes, trying to focus on where her son's Ki was. But even that was moving so fast she couldn't keep up. It was only when she felt herself plummeting to the ground that she knew where he was.

Blast floated in the air saying, "I was expecting more of a fight from you mom, but I think Fluttershy might prove more challenging if that's all you've got."

The words hit her ears like a Unicorn's horn against a chalkboard. She was so angry that she hadn't even noticed she was dangerously close to the ground. As she crashed into the hard ground, she couldn't believe what she had just heard. Her own son thought that Fluttershy would be more of a challenge than her!?

Celestia looked up at the expressionless stallion and said, "He's toying with her. He's trying to bring out her hidden power. He knows his mother well enough that he knows the only way for her to tap into that power is to become utterly humiliated, and by her own son no less."

Fluttershy's legs were shaking like they were made of jelly. "I have a bad feeling he's going to push her too far..."

Celestia calmed Fluttershy down saying, "Don't worry Fluttershy, if things get out of hoof, I'll be ready."

Blast continued to taunt his mother by saying, "This fight's over, you obviously haven't learned anything since day one. Fluttershy, you're next, get ready."

Rainbow Dash's anger was at its peak. She slammed her hoof into the ground with such force that it caused the ground to shake and crack. "I'm not done yet! I'm not going to be outdone by my own son, let alone Fluttershy!" She started breathing deeply as her mane started crackling with energy. As she screamed at the top of her lungs, her mane stood up on edge.

Blast's facial expression finally changed, showing that he was pleased. He knew he had pushed his mother past her limits. What he didn't know is that he had pushed her too far. He only realized this when his mother delivered a swift blow to his gut, and he coughed up blood. As he fell to the ground the group rushed to his side, only to be blasted away by Rainbow Dash.

"I won't be humiliated like this! I'm Rainbow Dash, you stupid poser!" as she rushed down at her son, who was opening his eyes and quivered in fear, she stopped with her hoof right in front of his muzzle. "B-Blast... no, don't be afraid... It's me... your mother..." She hadn't felt like this before. She realized she was about to smash her own son's face in and started crying. Her sorrow overtook her rage as she powered down and fell on top of her son crying her eyes out.

Celestia rushed over to them and said, "I think that's enough training for the two of you, don't you Rainbow Dash? A mother needs to look out for her son's safety and well being. Let's get him patched up."

Rainbow Dash looked down to her son, who still had blood dripping out of his mouth. She broke down crying even harder, not believing that she had done that. It was only when her son pulled her into a hug that she calmed down.

Blast, despite being badly injured, fought through the pain as he hugged his mother, "Don't worry mom... It's my fault, I shouldn't have pushed you that far. I just wanted to help you bring out your power."

Rainbow Dash wiped the blood from her son's cheek smiling, "I forgive you Blast, I'm sorry I freaked out like that. I would never have forgiven myself if I had gone too far."

The group made gave out an "Aww" which made Rainbow Dash blush, realizing that her friends had been watching their touching family moment.

She glared at them saying, "Ah shut up, I ain't going soft, I'm just taking care of my son."

Applejack laughed and said, "We know Dash, we know."

Rainbow Dash took her son back to their house and patched up his wounds before asking, "Hey... I've been meaning to ask you something... who exactly is your father?" But her son had already fallen asleep and she chuckled thinking to herself, "I'll ask him in the morning. Good night Blast." she kissed him on the cheek and lifted the blanket over him and went into her own room falling asleep.

Celestia was still trying to calm Twilight down from the incident between Dash and her son. She explained, "Dash has a lot of pride. Being beaten by her own son is the worst insult to her pride. While I don't approve of Blast's methods, I can't deny their effectiveness. Dash was able to enter her own Super Equestrian form, even though her rage had made her lose all self control."

Twilight sighed saying, "That's what I'm worried about, what if it happens again? What if... what if she can't calm herself down?"

Celestia smiled saying, "Blast is a good teacher, especially for somepony so young. He'll be able to teach her to control it, I'm sure of it."
