Chapter 2: A Lie Inside
Rainbow Dash was huddled in the corner of the ruins with her friends, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. The Dark Army was gone from their line of sight, but they didn’t dare to go out if case they were still there. “What will we do?” Twilight asked. “I don’t know. I called for help, but I don’t know if they’ll be able to get past the Dark Army,” Rainbow Dash replied. She took out her earpiece and looked at the signal light. It was still green. She sighed with relief. A reply could be possible. She blamed Princess Celestia for the problem. She was the one who dropped them out near the borders of Equestria to find this mysterious threat. ‘What a mysterious threat,’ she thought. She knew that the chances of them surviving were incredibly small, and that there was something she needed to tell her friends that might make them change their opinions of her. She stopped that thought. She would tell them when the time was right. She looked around at her friends. Twilight sat staring out into space in the left corner of the dilapidated room. Rarity was fussing over her hair in the right. Applejack was pacing anxiously. Pinkie Pie was, of course, very cheerful looking. Fluttershy was curled into a ball in the middle of the room, jumping at the slightest noise. Rainbow Dash sighed. She felt just like Fluttershy. But she was different. She wanted to curl up in a ball and panic, but her mind was not a weak one. Her mind was centered on physical capability, and curling into a ball was not very physically inclined, so her mind prevented her from doing so. She had to remain strong for her friends, even if she hid a truth from them.She looked to her friends. She had to pony up. She had to tell them, in case they never made it out. “You guys,” she began. “There’s something I have to tell you, something only I know, and have never told a pony.” “What?” Applejack asked. Right as Rainbow began to speak, the earpiece turned on. She pressed the loudspeaker button. A voice came out. ‘Pollen,’ Rainbow thought. ‘That’s her name.’ Pollen began to speak, sounding choked. “Your- your plea for help has- has been struck d- down,” she said. “WHAT!?” Rainbow Dash yelled angrily. “I- it was the council’s de- decision. I- I’m sorry. I tried to- to tell them. It was Feelgood’s idea.” “Why, if I ever get my hooves on his sorry throat!” Rainbow yelled. “Rainbow,” Twilight began. “You must calm down. We must stay calm or we’ll do things we’ll regret later. Now, Pollen, what was their decision for us if we can’t go back?” “Y- You must f- face the Dark Army and f- find their weak spots. Feelgood made that decision; came up with the idea and everything. I hate him for what he’s done.” “Well, Pollen, I’ve got something for you to do,” Rainbow Dash said. “You can murder Feelgood for us because he just sentenced us to an early death. Choosing our fate for us, what a flank!” “Rainbow!” Applejack said. “Why would you even put a thought such as murder in your brain? You should be ashamed!” “No,” Rainbow said. “You don’t know me for me.” Everypony stared at her when she spoke this. “Now,” Pollen’s voice entered in the trance. “You need to do this or the council will make sure you do. Go, before they do.” Rainbow Dash picked up the headpiece, threw it to the ground, and crushed it under her hoof. She scattered the small pieces throughout the room. All of her friends were acting as if what she just did didn’t happen. She stared at them, feeling a feeling she hadn’t felt so much of since that stupid braggart of an equine named Trixie came to town. It was anger. She remembered her early life with her parents. She had been so happy. Then the day came. She remembered how angry and sad she had been. That was the day she became tougher, and hid the sadness she felt from others. She was angry now at her friends. She did not know why, but she was just so angry. She bit her tongue. After a minute of this, she sat down and the anger passed. Her eyes began to water. She blinked back the tears. She couldn’t cry. Not now. “Rainbow, are you all right?” Pinkie Pie asked. “Yes, I’m fine,” she managed to choke out. She heard her friends whispering as she fought back the sudden tears. “What do you think is going on?” Twilight asked. “I don’t know. “Do you reckon it has to do with that thing she was going to tell us?” she heard Applejack ask. “Yeah, I don’t think she ever got to tell us,” Pinkie Pie said. After a few more exchanges, a voice broke in Rainbow’s fight. “Rainbow, what were you going to tell us earlier?” Twilight asked. “It doesn’t matter anymore,” Rainbow Dash replied. “But,” Twilight began. “It doesn’t matter,” Rainbow Dash interrupted. She walked to the corner of the room and sat down there. “Well, Rainbow Dash,” Applejack began. “If you’re going to not tell us, then we should go and go do what we were told to do.” “Fine,” Rainbow Dash replied. She grabbed her flight goggles and slipped them on. “Let’s go,” she said.
