Unholy In Equestria

Rainbow Dash was asleep on a cloud high in the sky. She would have gone to Twi's place for some more studying on the Entites but she wasn't like her. Rainbow needed a little rest to recouperate herself. She couldn't do that much nonstop studying. I watched her nearby, I had taken to watching all of the mares that would soon become pawns in the game of my takeover. Nopony knew of my presence yet, I'd been here since my both my brothers' deaths.

Univera and Galactica had given each of us an ability to be able to control the emotions of the creatures of this land. Originally the powers were for us to help them learn and grow, I would have no part in this. I fooled my brothers into believing that these creatures were below us, and apparently they were. As we fed on them we grew stronger, and I liked it. I took all I pleased with such a bountiful supply of power.

My brother Hate fed on the grudging feelings between bonds. Demise fed on the sadness that dwelled within the hearts of all creatures. I fed on temptation, indulgance was everywhere so whether I was causing it or not I was always feeding, it could explain why I was the most powerful. Nevertheless I watched the little pony sleeping on the cloud, I swooped down and placed a claw gently on her forhead.

"Time to see what Rainbow dreams." I murmered.

She jerked a little as I entered the make believe world where nothing made any real sense but did. Dreams were a strange thing, me looking in I saw a chaos of images strewn about the little cyan colored pegasus floating around to each one. To a creature with no buisness in the dream world this would look like a cacophany of disasterous effects, but I knew what was happening. I cast the dream I desired and grabbed the floating pegasus and flung her into it, then watched the magicks.

I suddenly found myself in Cloudsdale, what was I doing here? Wasn't I just at Rarity's place trying to fight off her need to make a new dress for me. I shrugged it off and stretched my sore wings, it was surprising how much they ached after all I had hardly done any acctual flying. That's when I saw her, Spitfire, captain of the Wonderbolts staring dead at me. I was frozen for a moment not knowing how to react to my idol watching me.

"Hey there kiddo," she said happily.

I wasn't sure how to respond.

"What's the matter you've seen me before, Rainbow." she said.

"Ya," I replied, remembering the time I met her at the Gala, "but why am I here now?"

"We brought you to Cloudsdale so you can try out for the Wonderbolts." she explained simply.

My mouth dropped and my heart raced, I knew it was my dream and all but I was shocked nevertheless. Spitfire smiled and wrapped a forehoof over my neck and led the way.

"Common, we gotta get you to the stadium to suit you up." she said

She led me into the Wonderbolts' official race track and it was a lot bigger than I expected. She handed me a uniform, I quickly slipped it on and pushed my wings through the holes.

"Lookin' good, Dash, now let's see how good you are?" She fluttered over to the starting line where Soarin, Fleetfoot and Rapidfire were all waiting for me.

It was like a dream, I really hoped it wasn't.

I quickly flapped over to the starting line, I turned my attention to the flag bearer on the signal cloud. I flexed my wings in anticipation wating for him to drop the flag to signal the start.

He raised the flag, I tensed my legs ready for takeoff.

I saw the flag move ever so slightly just before he swooped it downward.

ZOOM! We were all soaring at breakneck speeds, I had never felt so amazing. Flying next to the Wonderbolts, I gave it all I had.

At the finish line I had won by a landslide, the others were all trying to catch their breaths. Spitfire came up to me with a scroll and quill.

"OK, Dash now here's the deal." she said unfurling the paper, "Due to the recent outbreak in violence in the neighboring city we have to move home base to Manehatten so you signing this release form you'll be an official Wonderbolt and we can all move on." she said.

I thought about it.

"But I can still come back to see my friends right?" I asked.

I could see the little mares worry over her freinds, something had to give. I thought quickly.

"Listen, Dash this is your only opportunity to join the Wonderbolts. It's either this or you can never be one of us." she said grimly.

Never... be... one of them? So I had to choose between my best freinds and the Wonderbolts.

"Dash listen to me, if your freinds really care about you then they'd want you to follow your dreams. Didn't you say your number one dream was to be one of us?" she asked.

It was I looked at the paper, she pushed it closer.

"Sign." she pressed.

I picked up the quill and scrawled my name. I wasn't quite sure but I couldn't shake the feeling that something odd was happening.

I looked behing me and watched Ponyville slowly receeding into the distance.

One down, five to go. Dash had given into the temptation and willingly surrendered her power, now it could not be taken back seeing as it wasn't stolen.
