Ch.7 Face to Face

“Oh thank celestia, I thought I jumped into your body or switch places like in those sci-fi books!” said Rainbow Dash as she sighed with relief as this world Dash was standing in the kitchen doorway with her daughter “See! I was telling you the truth here!”

“Holy shit…” whispered Jim as he had to catch himself from the shock.

“Jim! Mom and dad, get over here! NOW!” yelled Dash as she held her daughter tight.

“What?” said Wendy as her and her husband did what they was told but Jim didn’t move as he stood up

“Blue skies, calm down.” calmly spoke Jim “She can explain...she was trying this whole time and it sounds crazy bu-”

“JIM! GET AWAY FROM HER!” angry ordered Dash as she handed her daughter to her father “THIS FAKER IS AN ENEMY AGENT OR SOMETHING! TRYING TO HURT MY FAMILY WILL YOU! TRYING TO LOOK LIKE ME! WHAT ARE YOU AFTER!?”

Rainbow Dash jolt up from her chair in anger as she spoke “Whoa! Faker? I think you're the fake around here. You're comparing yourself to me? The one and only awesome Rainbow Dash! Ha. You're not even good enough to be my fake!”

“I'll make you eat those words!” barked back Dash as she ran and jumped over the table and kicked Rainbow Dash, which made her went flying into the wall.

“Ow!” shouted Rainbow as she rubbed the back of her head “Why you!”

Rainbow stood up and dashed towards Dash and tried to tackle her but failed as Dash dodged it and grabbed Rainbow by her collar and pushing her through the opened backyard door, which made Rainbow crashed land in the backyard. Dash hurry out to the yard and tried to body slam on to Rainbow but she wasn’t fast enough as Rainbow did a back flip and as she did it, she kicked Dash on the chin and made her land on her back but she she quickly recovered from that. Jim and the others stopped at the doorway and watched as both Dash’s stared each other down.

“Mommy!” cried Scoot as she wanted to be with her mom as she tried to get out of her grandpa arms “Mommy!”

“It’s gonna be okay! Mommy won’t let nothing bad happen!” grin Dash as she gave her child a thumbs up.

Rainbow turned to Jim and the others. She could see her other world parents being scared, while she could see Jim worried. She knows she shouldn’t be here, she bringing problems to this version of her family. It be best if she should ran and try to find her friends than staying here any longer.

“Look, I don’t want trouble with you, other me. I’m leaving okay?” said Rainbow as she turned her back to Dash “See ya!”

Rainbow took off in seconds and was already in the front yard but to her surprise, her other version beat her there.

“Yeah, I’m not letting you go, faker!” replied Dash “Not after you stepped into my fu-” Dash stopped as she saw her daughter running to the front door “fudging home!”

“Fudge?” confusingly asked Rainbow as she tilt her head to the side

“I’M NOT GONNA CURSE IN FRONT OF MY DAUGHTER!” yelled Dash as she blush

Jim reach to the front door and quickly step out and stood between the two.

“Stop! Cool it Blue Skies!”

“Jim, what the heck!? Why are you trying to stop me?”

“Let her explain, she’s telling the truth about…” Jim stopped and sighed as he rubbed his eyelids “She’s gone isn’t she?” Jim turned around and didn’t see Rainbow anywhere “Great...okay Blue Skies, let me...she’s gone too, isn’t she?”

“Yes papa!’ laughed Scoot as Jim turned and saw that Dash was gone as well.

“...Yup, they’re the same person alright.”

Dash and Rainbow were both neck to neck as they ran down the road as the sun was started to set.

“You’re fast!” grin Rainbow “Well, you are me after all.”

“You call that fast?” grin back Dash as she took out her sunglasses and put them on “Ha! Only one person ever beat me in a race!” Dash took a swing at Rainbow but miss “And I’m not letting you change that!”

“Whatever! I’m not trying to fight with you!” replied Rainbow as she blocked a punch “Stop that!”

“Make me!” answered back Dash as she took another swing but was blocked again.

“She’s me, so out running her isn’t the answer here.” thought Rainbow as she kept up her blocks “I need to do something...but what?...wait...can I do it here? Even without my wings?”

Dash stopped attacking and could see Rainbow was thinking something. She was wondering what she was planning but to her surprise, she could see Rainbow was increasing her speed and was slowly passing her.

“What?” said Dash in shock, as no one could ever pass her in a race.

Rainbow closed her eyes and tried to remember that feeling. That same feeling back when she was young, back on that day when she saved Rarity and that day showing off to the sky pirates. She needed more speed. She needed her wings back. She needed her friends. She needed to go back home.

Dash tried to increase her speed but she couldn’t match Rainbow speed at all as she started to be out run in a long time. She closed her eyes and tried to remember that day. The day she was giving it her all as she raced another runner. She was neck to neck to him. He wasn’t giving up as he pushing himself to the max. She needs to remember that feeling she had. It was that day, she lost in a race for the first time ever but it was the first race where she pushed herself beyond her normal limit. To challenge him on equal ground. To accept his love.

“I lost that day...but I didn’t at the same time!” thought Dash to herself “I gain something. Something that I won’t ever lose!” whispered Dash as flashes of Jim and her family appeared in her mind and a quick flash of Jim as he was in a wheel chair and then walking with a cane “I. WON’T. LET. YOU. TAKE. THAT. AWAY! NOT FROM HIM!”

Both girls opened their eyes and was again neck to neck to each other but they both could feel something deep within them. Almost like they could break the sound barrier any minute now as the world around them started to blur and soon a high speed pitch sound started to whistle around them.

“STOP!” yelled a familiar voice as both girls turned their heads back and could see Jim running far behind them.

‘Jim?” said Rainbow as she decrease her speed as she noticed he was sweating up a storm and looking like he was in great pain “hey, are yo-”

“JIM!?” shouted Dash in fear as she brake hard and ran towards Jim as she caught him in her arms as he collapse “WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? YOU CAN’T RUN!” cried Dash as she set Jim on the side of the road and rolling up his left jean leg. She could feel his leg getting hot and swollen “Dumbass, why?”

Rainbow walked over and wanted to help but stopped as Jim signal her to stay right there.

“Blue Skies, I’m fine. Really...just need…” replied Jim as he tried to catch his breath

“Your not fucking fine! We need to take you to the hospital!” said Dash as she was about to carry him in her arms but was stopped by him.

“Please stop. You need to stop being overprotected with us, you know?” laughed Jim as he placed his hand on her cheek “Listen to me, she’s not agent or whatever, she’s...well, you.”

“Me? That doesn’t make any sense, Jim.”

“Look at her, she has the same voice, looks and even acts like you, minus the overprotected part of course. I remember before she found me, there was a bright rainbow flash in the sky. Then with Gilda race, I remember seeing...something behind her back, I thought I was seeing something but when I was trying to catch up with you two, I saw it again.” explained Jim as Rainbow touched her back in confusing “She was tested and her rare blood type is the same as yours. Listen to me Blue Skies, let her explain.”

Dash slowly turned to Rainbow, who waved at her, and scanned her body and sighed.

“Fine, I’ll listen to whatever bullshit story she has…”

‘Okay this is bull alright…” sighed Dash as she finished hearing Rainbow story and about her world as she sat at the dinner table with her family “You telling me, that you are a pony?”

“Pegasus.” corrected Rainbow as she took out a bite of a grill cheese sandwich.

“Pegasus, where magic is real, the sun and moon is controlled by two unicorns”

“Alicorns.” Rainbow corrected again

“Whatever, and you are here because some freaky crystal sent you and your friends here?”

“I’m not 100% sure about my friends but I hope they did…” replied Rainbow as she finished her sandwich.

Dash rubbed the sides of her head, still trying to understand all this. This was sci-fi bullshit you see in movies or books but it was real. The multiverse trope is real? No, she can’t believe it...but she has too, a copy of herself is sitting across from her. She turned to Jim and her parents as they asked her copy few questions.

“So...we’re flying ponies in your world? Do I still have my hair?” laughed Bow as he sat back in his chair and relaxing.

“Kind of.” giggled Rainbow

“Well sh-”

“Dad!” “Honey!” said both Dash and her mom at the same time as they glared at Bow, who remembered that Scoot was still eating at the table and watching videos on youtube with her ipad.

“Poop…” coughed Bow

Jim shook his head and asked Rainbow a question as he pick up everyone plate that was done eating.

“If your here, then there’s a good chance your friends are here too but like you, maybe they ended up near our world versions of themselves. Like i said, I remember hearing a loud blast of thunder and followed by flash of rainbow light this morning. Maybe since Blue Skies was coming here, that crystal dropped you off here?”

Rainbow eyes lit up with hope and quickly stood up from her chair.

“Then I need to find them! I need get out of here and look for the same event...but where do I start?” realized Rainbow as she sat back in the chair and losing hope. Everyone in the room started to feel for her until Scoot grabbed her pad and hurry over to Rainbow.

“Don’t be sad mommy number 2!” smiled Scoot as she put the pad in front of Rainbow and played a video “Is this your friend?”

Rainbow watched as the video showed Twilight, as she was fighting a humanoid being, as her purple glowing wings and horn appeared.

“Twilight!” happily yelled Rainbow as she grabbed the pad and kept watching “Wait, what the heck is she fighting!?”

Jim and everyone gathered around Rainbow and watched along as well. Until Jim and Dash noticed something at the same time.

“Wait, shouldn’t she be on youtube kids!?” “Wait, I remember hearing about this from Gilda, wasn’t this a weird promo ad event from that underground duo...wait, what?” said both parents

Dash quickly glared at her father, who was looking away as he whistled, leaving Jim and the others to sigh. Rainbow had no idea what was going on but asked what Jim meant.

“Like I was saying, Gilda, being a big fan, follows the duo group called Twilight Shine. They’re an underground music group, ranging from dubstep, Djing to rapping. This event happened like weeks ago if I remember right,” explained Jim as he took out his phone and opened a website and showed her “After that, they created this website and only thing on it is this weird question.”

Rainbow read the question and sighed with relief. She asked Jim to answer the question as she said told him the answer. After putting the answer in, the website was sent to another website, where a phone number appeared.

“Holy cow!” said Dash as it finally set in that this was real. Everything that her copy was saying was real. She took out her phone and quickly push in the number and handed it to Rainbow “Here. It’s ringing, which means it’s waiting for someone to answer.”

Rainbow took the phone and placed it near her ear and could hear it was ringing. Few seconds later, she could hear a very familiar voice on the other end.

“Twilight, is that you?”

“Rainbow Dash!?” cheerfully said Twilight

Rainbow stood up from her chair in happiness and spoke “It’s really you Twilight! You have no idea what I been through…”

Dash smiled as she saw Rainbow talking up a storm but quickly noticed the tears in her eyes. She turned to everyone and told to them to give her other self some alone time with her friend.

After some time, Rainbow Dash told her story and was getting caught up in Twilight story.

“Wait wait wait, you met this world Trixie? She’s a mob boss or something?” asked Rainbow as she was walking back and forth “Then this creature attacked you again? Why?”

“The creature attacked me because this universe see us as a threat.” explained Twilight

“A threat? Us?”

“Yes, my magic seems to drain the life force away from any living creature. If my ailcorn magic fully returns...i don’t want to think about it as you might picture it.” sadly said Twilight

“...Yeah, I get it now but I don’t have magic?” asked Rainbow as she leaned on the sliding doors to the backyard.

“You kind of do, in this world, the weather is controlled by nature than by this world inhabits. Plus, you were once the holder of the elements. Since you lost your wings, then there’s a good chance that if you get them back, you’ll drain any life force around you.”

Rainbow lowered the phone and turned to the living room doorway and could hear the family talking among themselves about something.

“So, I’m a walking life force eating monster huh? So wher-...huh!?” Rainbow suddenly grabbed her chest as she could hear a bell ringing.

“Rainbow? Are you okay?” Asked Twilight in a worried tone as she could hear her friend breathing hard

Rainbow Dash could feel something behind her, like it was death itself. She slowly turned around and standing on the other side of the glass, was a tall and yellow female looking humanoid creature with short green hair, it had wings like a Pegasus but having a Y shape horn. Rainbow glared into the creature dark black eyes as it glared back at her. Rainbow slowly put the phone up to her ear and spoke with fear.

“It’s here.”

Before Twilight could reply, the creature slammed its arm through the glass and grabbed Rainbow by her throat and pulled her through the glass door and sent her flying onto the backyard and crashing into the shed. Rainbow coughed up some blood as she felt her body hurting badly. She slowly got up and walked out of the broken shed and took a battle stance as the creature hover over to her.

“What the hell was that!?” yelled Jim as him and the others ran toward the kitchen and could see the creature as it turned it’s head towards them “Isn't that thing from the video? looks different, no?”

“Stay away! It’s after me!” yelled Rainbow

“Invader. Infected life. Must get rid of as well.” coldly said the creature as it fully turned it’s back on Rainbow and hovered towards to Dash and her family.

“What!? No leave them alone!” yelled back Rainbow as she dash towards the creature but was quickly smack away by its wing and sent flying again but into the woods and hitting a tree and crashing into the ground.

“Deal later.” said the creature as it kept hovering closer to Dash's family

“Jim, Mom and dad, take scoot and get away!” ordered Dash as she stepped forward and readying for a fight.

“Sweetie!? No!”

“Hell no! Your coming coming with us!”

“Your parents are right, you can’t fight that thing! You just saw what it did to the other you!”

Dash turned to them and yelled again “I SAID GO! I’M THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO CAN FIGHT! I’M NOT LETTING THIS THING HURT YOU!”

Before anyone could get a word in, the creature quickly soar towards at them and tried to punch Dash but misses as she dodged it and quickly did a follow up with a side jab. The creature took the force of the jab and pushed back the punch as it turned its head at Dash and spoke again.

“Weak.”

The creature punched Dash in the stomach and then grabbed her by the back of her jacket and tossed her over the house. She went flying and was about to hit the ground when Rainbow quickly dashed in and grabbed her in time.

“Whoa! Close one!”

“What? How did you get here so fast?” asked Dash as Rainbow helped her to stand.

“You gotta ask? Remember? We’re the fastest thing alive!” grin Rainbow

“I’m not that fast tho…” thought Dash as her pride was broken

Suddenly, Dash family ran out of the house and hid behind them as the creature flew through the house, leaving behind a huge hole.

“Destroy invader and infected.” coldly said the creature as it soar quickly at them but was stopped as Rainbow ran towards it and pulling her arms out and stopping it in its place.

“Leave them out of this pal!” angry said Rainbow as she was giving it her all to just hold the creature in place. She turned to the others “I got this! Get out of here!”

“And leave you behind? Sorry sister, I’m no coward! I can help you take this big idiot down!” grin Dash

“Come on, don’t be stubborn and cocky here!” yelled Rainbow “Man, I think I understand the girls now in how I act sometimes…”

“Annoying” said the creature as it gave more force to start pushing Rainbow back.

“Oh, this isn’t good!” said Rainbow as she lost her footing and was sent flying backwards with the creature and crashing into the street and started to get punch over and over by the creature.

Dash ordered her family into the van and ran over to the fight and tried to jump on the back of the creature but was tossed away by its wing.

“Get in the van everyone!” yelled Jim as he took his daughter and placed her in the car seat and put her seat belt on. He looked at her and could see she was crying “Don’t worry baby, mommy always wins her fights.”

Scoot could see her mother finally got on the back of the creature and had it in a choke hold, allowing Rainbow to get out under of it and starting punching the stomach of the creature.

“Get in Jim!” ordered Bow as he got in the driver seat and started the van up.

Jim closed the door and look back at his wife and Rainbow as they kept fighting the creature. He didn’t want to leave but he had no choice, so he was about to run to the other side of the van when the creature grabbed Dash and Rainbow and tossed them both towards the van. Dash crashed into the side and slid down as her daughter was screaming for her and Rainbow crash into the van hood, cracking the windshield. Jim ran back around and check on Dash but the creature was already there and grabbed him by his face and slammed his head into the van side, that window of the door crack badly. The creature let him go and watched as he hit the ground and out cold. Bow got out of the van and shouted at the creature to fight him, who in turn blasted him away with it’s horn energy. The creature watched as the Wendy exited the van through the driver side and screaming for her husband, as smoke was coming off his chest as he was knock out as well.

“Mommy! Daddy!” cried Scoot as she held her stuff toy as the creature lower itself to look at her.

Rainbow could hear the crying and weakly opened her eyes and could see what was happening. She rolled off the hood and fell to the ground. Her back was on screaming in pain, she couldn’t stand up.

“Annoying little human.”

Rainbow could see the creature slowly rising its hand and touching the window. It made its hand into a fist. Rainbow quickly grew with fear as she knew what was about to happen. She tried to stand up by grabbing on the grill of the van. She needed to move or it be too late. She needed to move now!

“MOVE!” yelled Rainbow as she tried to move her legs.

She could see the creature arm moving back. Scoot was still crying. Her other self was still knock out, same with Jim and Bow. Wendy was still freaking out for her husband to notice what was happening with her granddaughter. It had to be her. Only she can stop this.

“Rainbow Dash!” called out a familiar voice

Rainbow soon found herself back in Ponyville and standing before her was scootaloo.

“Come on Rainbow Dash! You can beat that thing!” cheered Scootaloo as she faded away into dust

A bell rang out as everything around Rainbow started to crack and fall apart. The void started to bleed through the cracks and cover her body. Soon she was gone within the darkness.

“Never give up!” yelled Scootaloo as her words echo across the nothingness.

Within the dark void, a bright rainbow light blasted out.

The creature thrust its fist at Scoot but it was suddenly caught by a blue hand. It turned to see Rainbow but glowing with rainbow light, as her wings gave off a rainbow halo behind them. It could see Rainbow had a pissed off expression as she broke the creature hand and jumped kick it away from the van and flying into the woods miles away.

“You okay Scoots?” smiled Rainbow as peek inside the van. Scoots nodded as she was speechless at the sight she was seeing “Good, stay in there. This isn’t over.”

Rainbow turned back where she sent the creature away, only to see it had returned and hovering above her.

“I see why mother wanted you dead.” said the creature as it landed “You are truly a threat to our world.”

“Mother? Who’s that?” asked Rainbow as she walked forward and cracking her knuckles “You know what? I don’t care anyway. I’m going to kick your butt. The only threat here is you pal!”

The creature rose its hand and pointed behind Rainbow “No. You are.”

Rainbow turned around and froze in fear. She quickly remembered what Twilight had said and she was looking at first hand at her actions. Her other self, her parents and Jim were clutching their chests as rainbow energy were coming out of them and into her wings rainbow halos. She was killing them but she noticed that Scoots was fine? Scoot was completely fine as she tried to open the door, so she could be with her parents.

“Then I’ll end it fast!” said Rainbow as she faced the creature and spread her wings wide “Only one way!”

Rainbow and the creature vanish within seconds as gust of wind blown around the area. Scoot finally opened the door and hugged her mother, who finally recovered from the drain effect. Jim recovered as well and crawled over to them. Scoot and her parents looked up and could see the clouds were blown away and a bright rainbow light was shooting higher and higher.

Within the sky, Rainbow had hold of the creature and was pushing everything she got. The creature was fighting back but she didn’t care, she kept going and going. Until the cone started to form around them.

“Enjoy this! My most powerful move!” shouted Rainbow as the cone started to get thinner and thinner, until she broke the barrier “SONIC RAINBOOM!”

In a bright flash, a beautiful rainbow shock wave blasted across the orange sky, blasting away all the clouds and leaving behind nothing but a rainbow halo. In the middle of the halo, Rainbow was soaring more up in the sky as she left behind a rainbow trail. The creature clearly took some damage from the blast as its body was torn and rip but still holding together.

“How you like that?” said Rainbow in a cocky tone

Rainbow face was grabbed by the creature hand and place its face near her and spoke “My turn.”

The creature opened its wings and a dark rainbow halo formed around them. With one flap of its wings, the creature created its own sonic rainbow but a darker version of it. As they passed through the sonic rainbow halo, a second dark sonic rainboom blasted out and scatter the colorful rainbow halo. The once colorful sky, was now grey and dark. The shooting dark rainbow light, quickly returned to earth and landed near the house, as Dash and the others took cover as the storm of dirt and rock was sent flying around them. As the dirt settled, Dash and the others could see the creature still having its hand on Rainbow head, were in a crater, as Rainbow wings were gone and she was back to normal but her body was covered in wounds and her outfit ripped apart.

“Maybe mother was wrong?” spoke the creature as it let go of Rainbow and place its foot on her chest and slowly put its force on it, making Rainbow screamed with pain.

“She needs help!” yelled Dash as she tried to stand but quickly fell back down.

“We’re in no shape to save her…” whispered Jim as he looked away.

Scoot let go of her mother and ran towards the crater, as her parents tried to stop her but she didn’t stop. Scoots slide down the crater and jumped on the creature leg and cried out to stop. The creature stopped and picked up the little girl by her shirt.

“Please stop! Don’t hurt her anymore!”

“,,,annoying still…” said the creature as it was about to crush Scoots head but stopped and felt something wrong. It looked up into the sky and could hear screaming. It was a woman voice but she was in pain “MOTHER!”

The creature started to faded away. Dash and Jim slide down the crater and watched in horror as their daughter faded away with the creature.

“NO! GIVE HER BACK!” screamed Dash as she ran with little strength she had left. She reached out with her arm as she tried to grab her daughter hand but she was too late. They were gone. “NO!”

Rainbow, who was still awake but in great pain, slowly rose from the ground and tried to say something but passed out as everything went black for her.

“What the hell happened here?”

Rainbow could hear a voice as she opened her eyes. She could tell she was in a jeep, it looked very familiar as she sat up.

“Why is there two of you?” said Spitfire as she turned to Rainbow and noticed she was awake “Speak of the devil. Yo you alright...Dash? Clone Dash? Okay, who is she anyway?”

Gilda, along with Dash wing mates, walked out of the crater and joined Spitfire and Jim. She noticed Rainbow was up and angry ran over and grabbed her by her torn red jacket.

“Where the fuck is she!? Where did thing took her!?” demand Gilda

“I have no idea!” replied Rainbow

“Bullshit!” yelled Gilda as she pulled Rainbow out of her jeep and tossed her on the ground but Spitfire and the others stopped her from doing anything else by holding her back “GET OFF OF ME! SHE KNOWS SOMETHING!”

“Jesus, cool it already, she doesn’t know shit!” yelled Spit as her and others pulled her to the other side of the jeep “Stay here and cool off, okay?”

“Fuck you Sarah, why aren’t you worried about Sophia!?”

“I am worried as fuck but I’m not letting my emotions get in the way here. Fighting with Dash number 2 isn’t helping anyone.” Said Spitfire in a calm tone.

Rainbow toned out the fighting as she stared down the crater and could see her other self just sitting there as her parents, who were fine but banged up, were walking away from her and passing Rainbow but stopped and knee next to her.

“How are you okay...sweetie?” said Wendy as she put her hand on Rainbow shoulder.

“Been better…” trailed off Rainbow as she felt weird calling her mom or even by her mom real name.

“Good to hear then sport!” smiled Bow as he rubbed Rainbow head but was stopped as she pushed his hand away. Bow sighed and rose up with his wife “Even if your not “our” daughter, you are still family in “our” eyes. What happened here, don’t blame yourself, okay? She doesn’t blame you. Talk to her.”

Rainbow was finally left alone and after few seconds of thinking it over, she slid down the edge and slowly walked over to her other self. She just sat there, just clinging to her fist.

“Hey…” softly said Rainbow as she waited for her other self to say something but she didn’t, so Rainbow kept talking “I’m sorry what happened. My friend told me about that thing as it attacked me. If I knew sooner, I would had left before it came after me.” explained Rainbow as she got closer to her “I’m sure Twilight knows how to get your daughter back. She’s the biggest egghead around, heck, there’s two of her now. I promise we'll get her back!”

“I'm coming with you.” quickly said Dash as she stood up and faced Rainbow

“What?”

“You heard me, I’m going with you. Sophia my daughter. What kind of mother let’s someone else get their child back?” explained Dash as she smirk and crossed her arms "Even if that someone is yourself."

“You sure about this? I’m not even sure Twilight really kno-” Rainbow stopped talking as a bright blinding light flashed behind the two.

“What now?” cursed Rainbow as she shielded her eyes.

“Bastard came back! Where’s my daughter!?” yelled Dash as she ran at the light but a lion paw came out of it and flick her nose.

“I might be a bastard son but that’s so rude of you, Diana!” said a male voice, which made both Dashes be shock as they knew that voice.

“Discord!?” “John!?” said both Dashes at the same time as the light faded away to reveal a tall man, with weird horns, white short hair, body made of different animals parts and wearing a fancy tan suit, as he bowed to them.

“John? What the hell happened to you?” said Dash as she fist bump him “In fact, how are you here? Where’s Florina!?” questioned Dash as she poked John lion hand.

“John? What’s going on here, Discord?” asked Rainbow as she walked over

“Sorry but I’m not your Discord Ms Rainbow Dash.” said John as he snapped his fingers and undid the wounds on her and other self body and replaced Rainbow clothes with a blue jacket with her cutie mark on the back, changing her sweat pants to jeans “Much better. I see you met “them”, as I can see the damage they made…”

“Whoa! Wait, you can do magic!?” asked Dash but John didn’t answer as he snapped his fingers again and fixed everything, like nothing happened. Everyone was shock to see everything back to normal and noticed John and his new form, as they asked him what happened to him.

“Short version, I’m a god of chaos. I had many, many names over the ages, like Loki and even though I love seeing chaos, something happened to this universe bell.” explained John as he created a mini crystal bell “It’s been scatter as someone rang it…” John opened his other hand and showed another bell “...and rang another bell at the same time.”

“That’s not good...right?” said Rainbow in a worry look

“You bet it is, my little pony friend. It’s why you and your friends are here. The blast of the scatter bell sent you here and...wait, this is the long version.” laugh John as he crush both bells and dust his palms off “I’ll explain more when we get everyone together. We don-” John was cut off as Dash grabbed her friend by his collar and brought him to her eye level.

“You have magic right!? You can snap your fingers and get my daughter back!” happily she said but John slid out of his suit jacket and was just floating there as he turned to his friends.

“Something happened to mini orange?”

After being told what happened, John placed his hand on his dear friend shoulder and explained his magic can’t get her daughter back, as she’s not in this realm.

“We’ll get her back, don’t worry. We just need to get the others.”

“Others?” said Rainbow as her ears pop up “You mean you know where m-”

“That’s right, Fluttershy already met her other self, it was days after your Twilight landed. It seems the blast sent you all in different point of time. AJ landed two days ago and Pinkie was two weeks ago…seems Rarity hasn’t landed yet? hmmm..." explained John as he stroke his white beard “Anyway, I love to stay and catch up but we have to get going!”

Everyone watched as John summoned the car from back to the future and opened it as his clothes changed to the Doc outfit.

“Get in you two! We don’t have time to waste!”

“You want me to get in too?” asked Dash as she pointed to herself “I mean, I was coming anyway but still, why?”

“NO TIME TO EXPLAIN!” yelled John as he honk the horn and watched as Rainbow get in.

Dash sighed and turned to her friends and family. Jim walked over and grabbed her hands and smiled.

“Be careful Blue Skies…” said Jim as he kissed his wife “Get our baby girl back.”

“I will. Be back before you know it!” grin Dash as she slowly let go and hurry over to the car and before she got in, she waved to everyone and finally step in.

Everyone watched as the car started up but engine stall out. John kept trying as he turned the key but nothing happened. This went on for a few minutes.

“...So we did had time.” angry whispered Dash as she glared at John, who was feeling the cold daggers.

“...maybe…” whispered back John as kept turning the key, until it finally turned the car on and the car took off down the road and vanished in a bright light, as it left behind a trail of fire.

Everyone was waving until Gilda screamed about how no one is freak out about this.

“I think the shock hasn’t took effect yet, I guess?” laughed Spitfire as she sat on the grass of the yard “Like wow, John is a god, there’s another Diana, there’s real monsters, magic is real and that sonic boom…” Spitfire looked up and the night sky was clear now “We was heading back here after meeting Gilda and after she explained what happened to Diana, it didn’t make sense at all but now? ...what?” Spitfire stopped as she could see a crack in the sky and a purple light was heading towards them.

Spitfire pointed to the sky and everyone watched as the falling purple light crashed in front of them. Everyone carefully rushed towards the small crater and Jim eyes went wide as he noticed his naked daughter in it, as she was knock out. He quickly picked her up in his arm and Spitfire covered her with her bomber jacket. Jim started to cry as his daughter was now safe. He sat down and held her tight as remembered holding her like this when she was born. Having her mother hair and having his side of his family skin color, as his mom had orange skin.

“Thank god, she’s back!” cried Jim as he looked up to everyone but suddenly felt something wet and warm on his arm. He removed one arm to see it was blood. He slowly raised her up and noticed a large cut across her back “WE NEED TO GET HER TO A HOSPITAL!” yelled Jim as he quickly ran towards Gilda jeep and set her down carefully and put presser on the wound to stop the bleeding. As Gilda got in and started up the jeep, Jim could hear his daughter saying something and quickly realized it happened again as he noticed his daughter hair was missing the rainbow tips.

“Applebloom…where is she?” weakly said Scootaloo as she passed out.
