Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Above the farm, two bright lights could be seen afar from the whole town, and many looked up, wondering what was happening. The town folks could see the most colorful rainbow star, making many remember the rainbow comet that occurred 30 years ago in the night sky. While others looked at the darkest black star that they had ever seen, the star was so black that it looked like a black hole, and it gave off a cold vibe.

The two stars floated, almost like they were staring at each other. Then, both started to shoot forward at high speed. The two stars hit each other and exploded, causing the town to shake from the shockwave.


"Holy shit!" Sol shouted, bracing herself from the powerful wave.

"This is going to get wild!" Sonata yelled, holding onto a tree.


Dashie was the closest to the blast, and even she had trouble staying in the air as it went off.

"AH! What the hell!? What raw magical powers!"

As the bright flash faded, Void and Twilight punched each other in the faces, but both seemed almost unfazed.

"You think you have a chance against me!?" Void pushed harder while trying to move her cheek, but Twilight wasn't moving either.

"Damn right, I do, cunt! I'm not backing down!" Twilight growled, trying to push back.

Both were locked in a battle of strength, and neither was backing down. They were pushing and grunting as the magic aura around them got stronger.

Dashie knew it wouldn't be a good thing if the two kept using their full powers.

"Fuck!"

Dashie looked down and saw the area destroyed by the two's magical powers. She looked back and knew she had to act now or risk the two destroying the whole town if their powers grew more vigorous. She rockets toward them.

The two unicorns broke their clash and started to punch, kick, and fire their magical beams as they got closer. Void's and Twilight's movements were in sync, making them look like mirror images.

"They are fast and strong," Dashie thought as she flew towards them, but she noticed something worried her. "Shit, their power is increasing."

Dashie's hair rose, sensing their magical energy. The energy was starting to reach the max, and the ground below the two was cracking and splitting, causing trees to begin to fall in it. She increased her speed and tackled one of them and that someone was...

"HEY! WHAT THE HELL!?" Twilight screamed as she felt Dashie tackling her away from Void, who blinked and was confused about what had happened.

"Rainbow, what the heck!? We were busy!" Twilight complained, giving her an angry look.

"Yeah, I know, but the more you two fought, the stronger your powers grew, and it's going to reach the town!" she stopped and pointed out the damage Twilight and Void were causing. "Listen to me! You need to send her out of this universe! As long as she keeps being here, the more damage you two will cause!"

Twilight saw the damage and was shocked.

"We did all that?"

Dashie nodded.

Twilight was quiet for only a few seconds, and then she turned to Dashie. "...I don't know how we got here. My mother's jacket teleported me out of my own universe, but I have no idea how to do it again."

"What?" Dashie's jaw dropped. "But you have to figure out something, or else..."

Void laughed and interrupted her. She was near them now, cracking her knuckles. "Or else what? Do you think the two of you can defeat me? Ha! That's a laugh!"

Dashie stood before Twilight, glaring at Void. "Yes, we can defeat you, but this isn't the time or place. I know asking you this will be pointless, but even you can see this isn't right. You can't destroy my town and kill everyone here!"

"What? Are you trying to guilt me? Do you think that will stop me?"

Dashie glared and raised her fists, looking like her only option would be a fight. "No, but if I must stop you by force, I will, no matter the cost. No matter the consequences, I will beat your ass."

Void could tell she was serious, and that made her smirk. After being kicked by this girl in the face, Void wanted to see more of this girl's power.

"So be it. I wanted to fight you from the start, anyway." Void started charging her dark energy as she raised her hand, causing dark spikes to emerge from the ground. "I'm going to have fun with you, whatever your name is."

"Dashiell Reinbold," Dashie answered her, dodging the spikes, and Twilight joined her in avoiding the attack. Dashie flew closer to Twilight and spoke to her. "Okay, so you don't know how you got here, but there must be a clue or something before you were tossed out of your universe! Anything at all."

"There is one thing," Twilight told her, flying around and firing magic energy, but Void dodge them. "When the jacket was on me, I told my Mother that I would be strong. I was telling myself, and when I said it, the jacket glowed. I think if I repeated those words, then maybe we could leave?"

"What does that mean? That the jacket needs you to be strong?"

"It sounds dumb, but maybe..."

"Alright, fine, then we will try that, but first, we need to keep her busy!" the two flew out of what seemed endless spikes and up to the sky above. "It will be easy, though. She seems to be way too focused on one of us, so if I fight her, you can-"

Twilight faced her, not looking too happy. "I'm not a coward, Rainbow! I won't let you fight her alone. I'll be fighting her alongside you."

Dashie sighed. "Please stop being so stubborn and-"

"No," Twilight interrupted her again.

The two stopped above the clouds. Dashie pointed her finger at her and spoke.

"Didn't I tell you to trust someone giving you a hand? So why aren't you letting me help you!?"

"I'm not a coward! I want to prove myself, and-"

"Bullshit!"

Twilight shuttered a little from the outburst. Dashie took a deep breath and held her head, trying to calm herself.
"There's something else! I can tell you are-!?" Dashie quickly pushed Twilight out of the way as dark magical chains stabbed her in the shoulders and were pulled down through the clouds.

Twilight recovered and screamed. "RAINBOW!" she saw flashes of Dash dying in front of her again, making her shake her head and rush through the clouds.

"You are not going to die, you fucking idiot!" she increased her speed and could see Dashie trying to pull the chains out. "NOT AGAIN!"

Dashie felt herself being pulled down hard, and when she was close to the ground, she saw Void smirking at her as her arms were wrapped in those chains. Dashie was pulled close to her, soon getting punched in the face.

"Come on now! Show me that power I felt when you hit me in the face!" Void laughed.

Dashie coughed blood as she tried to break free, but the chains were too strong and suddenly wrapped around her. She felt the magical aura of the chains crushing her as she was held in place.

"Argh! Fuck!"

Void chuckled. "Not so tough now, are ya? What happened to that strength of yours, huh?"

"RAINBOW!" Twilight shouted as she fired magic beams, but Void used the chains and sent them to the beams, blocking the attacks by making them explode.

"You're next, faker." Void turned to her and smirked.

Twilight reached them but stayed a bit far from them. She hovered there, giving Void a cold glare.

"Let her go."

"Hmm? What will you do if I don't?" Void raised her hand, and the chains were pulling Dashie close to her. "If you attack, I'll crush her, and I'm not lying."

Twilight's body trembled with fear, but her heart and mind told her not to give in.

"I-If you want a fight, then fight me!"

Twilight took a fighter stance, and the surrounding aura was becoming more powerful. Void could sense it, and her smile faded.

"No matter how much power you release, I'll invariably outclass you, faker!"

Void lowered Dashie down and acted like she was a yo-yo. As she did that, she also released her magical energy, matching Twilight's.

"We will see about that, bitch!"

Twilight eyed the area, seeing what Dashie had warned her. She could see more of the area was getting destroyed because of their magical energies. She had to end this fight soon or somehow move out of this universe. Furthermore, she returned her attention to Void and knew they were matched in power and seemed to be in a deadlock, but Twilight knew there was one thing that Void didn't have that she did.

"...Dawn." she closed her eyes, remembering training with Dawn over the last eleven years, learning Arcane Fist fighting and other styles. She hated her guts, but deep down... "Dawn, you might be a pain in the ass, but... Thank you."

Twilight changed her stance and moved her arms forward. Soon, she started to move them like a water wave in motion. Void could see this weird motion.

"What's she doing?"

Twilight's magical power was going into her arms, and soon, a light blue aura around them appeared. She opened her eyes and spoke with a calm and cold tone.

"Arcane Fist: Water!" Twilight moved her arms calmly like she was tossing water around her.

The aura around her arms shot out and took the form of water, and soon, Twilight moved her hands together, making the water flow all around her. The scene made it look like she was dancing with her arms...until she pointed them forward, blasting out a burst of water stream toward Void.

Void tipped her head. "What are you doing? Going to make me all wet?" she laughed and was soon struck by the stream of water, but it didn't feel like water. It was hard and hurt a lot.

"AGH!" Void cried, holding her arm out to block it. She looked at them, seeing cuts on her flesh and the chains. "What is this!? It's water but yet, feels so sharp and heavy!"

She kept blocking the attack but could hear Dashie talking to her from below.

"Not smart, are you? She made the water into a high-pressure stream, meaning it was so pressured that it could cut through metal, and the sharpness was from her magical power mixed in. It's a known tool in my universe called water jet cutting." Dashie smiled as she could see the magical chains being cut, freeing her.

Void was helpless as she could see Dashie fly away and back to Twilight, who stopped her attack.

"Are you okay?"

Dashie flew near her and nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine, but that was a cool attack, Twilight. You're the real deal, you know that?"

Twilight blushed and looked away. "Whatever."

Dashie was about to ask what was wrong but saw that Void was charging up her magical energy. Dashie didn't need to say anything as Twilight flew forward with the magic still flowing around her. She watched as Twilight fired off the high-pressure jet stream of water, making Void dodge it, but then Twilight teleported to her with her fist flying at Void face.

"What the-" Void couldn't finish as Twilight's fist met her face.

Twilight smirked and was pleased with the shockness on Void's face.

"Arcane Fist: Fire!" her right fist was covered in a fiery red aura and started to punch her nonstop. Even if Void dodged the fiery punches, the heat from them hurt her, making her stagger back, allowing Twilight to get her off balance and kick her in the stomach.

"AGH! FUCK!" Void yelled, flying back from the kick.

"You're not so tough, are you, bitch?" Twilight said with cocky arrogance, but her face showed it as well.

"Fuck...you," Void groaned, feeling her stomach. "That's not...normal magic. What the fuck are you?!"

Twilight smiled. "Like I said, I'm like my mother! Strong! And you're weak!"

Twilight was going to say something else, but she felt her jacket was glowing, and she could feel the magic coming from it. Before she could check it out, she heard Void screaming. She turned at her, seeing her almost upon her.

"I'M NOT WEAK!"

Void and Twilight clashed again with their fist, creating another shockwave of dark and colorful energy. But this time, unlike the first time, this one was much different.

Dashie's eyes widened as she could see cracks forming around the farm area, not just here, but also...


"MY BIG SISTER ISN'T DEAD!" Blitz screamed after Wallflower told her what happened. Blitz rushed to the window, pointing to the rainbow star. "She's right there!"

Sunny walked over, putting her hand over Blitz's shoulder. "Blitz, calm down. Maybe it is your sister, but..."

Blitz's eyes narrowed. "I can tell it's her! I KNOW IT'S HER, SUNSET!"

Sunny and the others watched Blitz transform into her pegasus anthro form and fly out of the room in a flash.

"BLITZ! WAIT!" Sunny yelled, reaching out to her, but it was too late, she was gone. "Damn it Blitz..."

Sunny turned around, seeing the others looking worried like her. They knew why Blitz had acted like that. If Wallflower was right, then...

"...All she has left is Braver." Lucy whispered, walking to the window and watching a rainbow comet heading where the odd rainbow hue could be seen now.


"She's not dead!"

Blitz saw flashes of her two mothers, Twilah and Dashiell. She grits her teeth, trying her best to remove the images out of her thoughts, but the more she thought about Spark, the worse they got.

"NO! SHE'S NOT DEAD!"

She saw flashes of Nightfall and Rainbow Sky. Her real parents.

"...Spark..."

Soon, she flashes of the destroyed universe, along with her parents dead, but that wasn't the end of it. She remembered how Dashiell and Twilah died. With Dashiell, it was by Fayth's hands, while Twilah died from her sickness. Leaving her without parents again.

She could feel tears falling out of her eyes. "NOOOO!!!" she could feel her heart racing as the fear of Spark being dead and leaving her and her twin sibling behind. "She's alive! I KNOW IT!!"

She was almost upon the farm.


Void and Twilight broke their clash as they pulled back from each other. Void was breathing heavily. She never expected Twilight to have such strength and skill. She had the same magic abilities as her, and yet, Twilight seemed stronger and well more trained in a skill Void has never seen before. This irks her.

"Why...why are you so strong!? Why do you have that power!?"

Twilight wiped the sweat off her forehead, smiling. "What's the matter? Tired already? Well, too bad, 'cause I'm just getting started." she rocketed forward once more, her fist ready.

Void growled. "Bitch!"

As they were going to punch each other, the two suddenly saw Dashie appearing between them, her arms out and looking worried.

"STOP!!!"

"What?"

"Rainbow?"

The two forced themselves to stop in time, but they ended up crashing into her, causing Dashie to be sandwiched between them.

"Ouch..." Dashie whispered, feeling the pain from being crushed between them. "Damn, that hurt..." but her pain was washed away as she felt two pairs of breasts touching her face. "Holy shit..."

Twilight and Void pushed forward, pressing their breast more on Dashie. The two were staring at each other. They didn't want to lose their sight on each other as they shouted at the one who stopped them.

"What the hell, human!"

"Rainbow! Why did you-"

Twilight couldn't finish as Dashie, with great sadness, pushed the two off of her. "You two need to stop fighting and look around!"

The two looked and became shock to see everything around them, reality itself, having cracks. They could even see glitching rainbow prism effects leaking out of said cracks.

"Wha-What is happening?" Twilight asked, feeling her heart racing with fear.

"My universe is breaking down from you two's overwhelming raw magical energy! You need to stop, please, or else..."

Void saw that Twilight's aura was gone, and her face showed worry and fear. Void looked down at Dashie.

"You two are strong and powerful, I will admit it, but if you don't stop, then my whole world will be destroyed." she turned to Void, with fear in her face, she begged to her. "Please, Void... Please, stop! I don't know why you want to fight Twilight but please, please, I'm begging you, stop." tears started to come out of her eyes. "I don't want my family or friends to die, nor my home destroyed, please, stop!"

Void was quiet.

"..."

Void saw flashes of Dash, crying as she held her in her arms.

"I wish I was stronger...I didn't want our home to be destroyed..." Void remembered as Dash looked at her. "I want to be strong like you. I don't want to cry anymore..."

Void felt a painful tug in her heart, hearing her say those words.

"I wish I was stronger."

"Void...I'm begging you..."

Twilight could tell that Dashie was very worried and scared. Her universe was dying, and she felt a sense of guilt.

"I did this..."

Void looked around, not saying a word as Twilight spoke to herself in her thoughts.

"This isn't what I wanted to happen..." she looked around as well, seeing more of the damage. "If I want to be like my mother, I need to fix this. But how?" she turned back to Dashie as Void did the same.

The both whispered at the same time.

"Rainbow." "Dash"

Dashie turned to Twilight, pointing to the rainbow jacket. "I have so many questions about why you are wearing that jacket, but you need to take Void and leave my universe before more damage happens. You can't stay here."

Twilight looked down in sadness, agreeing. "Yeah, I understand. I'm sorry, Rainbow."

Dashie could tell how sad she was and gave her a warm smile.

"Twilight. I-"

"Fine!" Void shouted, cutting her off. "I'll do as you wish."

"Wait, you will?" Dashie turned and blinked.

"Yes." she looked away from her, not wanting to be reminded of Dash. "Only because I want to beat this faker without anything getting in my way!" she turned her focus on Twilight, who was giving her a glare. "And because this faker can't go all out here, we'll go somewhere where she can fight me without holding back then."

"You mean a different universe?" Twilight asked.

Void smirked. "No. Back to the Realm of Between, were we met. We can fight there and not cause any damage."

"But I don't know how to get back!"

Void moved closer, smirking. "Don't worry, faker, I'll take you there." she past them and cracking of knuckles, she punched something that was hidden from sight.

"What?" Dashie said, seeing the crack object.

Twilight blinked and felt like she seen that object from somwhere. Unknownest to them, it was a Prism Window and with its mirror surface destroyed, a gateway was opened back to the vast tress that Twilight was at. Void slightly turned to them, eyeing Twilight.

"Let's go, faker." she then eyed Dashie. She could see Dash standing there instead of the human girl. She shook her head and saw the image of Dash was gone. "...you are like her...are you a..." Void stopped and jumped through the window, vanishing.

Twilight hovered closer to the gateway but stopped. She turned to Dashie. Twilight put on a brave smile, but it was easy to tell that it was a fake.

"Thank you, Rainbow. Thanks for...being nice and being my...." she turned her focus on the gateway. She tsked loudly. "Never mind, I'm happy I'm leaving this universe, and your annoying perverted ass!" she grits her teeth and squeezing her fists as she felt her eyes tearing up. She regretted saying that.

"Twilight, wait, listen-"

Twilight interrupted her. "Thanks for everything! But don't you ever think I like you or something, I don't. Like I said, you were damn annoying and so fucking uncool! Don't think that I want to be your friend or some bullshit like that, and you are still a fucking pervert, too!"

Twilight's tears started falling out, and Dashie could tell that her words were all a lie. Dashie wanted to fly over and hold her close and comfort her, but she knew her place was here as she looked down and saw her little sisters, friends and her aunt looking up at her.

Twilight float closer to the window, she could see Void on the other side, tapping her foot as she was waiting. Twilight couldn't stay much longer, as she needed to go, but a part of her wanted to stay.

"Why does it hurt!? I just met her, but it's like saying goodbye is killing me. Why does this fucking hurt so much!" she took a deep breath. She then faced Dashie one last time, forcing herself to smile. "Don't forget, I'm strong! I can take care of myself!"

Dashie returned her attention to Twilight. Her eyes went wide, and she could see how sad Twilight looked.

"Twi...ugh!?"

Suddenly, Dashie felt her head hurting, and she could see images of a young Twilight crying over her and asking her to keep a promise. "Promise?" She soon saw images of Twilight again but as an Alicorn. She could hear her voice begging her to find her. "I promise..." The headache was getting worse as she could hear Twilight's crying voice.

"There is no happy ending without my rainbow!-static-I want you in my life again!-loud static-No more saying goodbyes! Just have..."

Dashie blinked as her head stopped hurting. She felt like she remembered something but no matter how hard she tried to recall it, nothing was coming up. Dashie was confused, but her eyes turned to Twilight as she heard her sniffing. Dashie could easily tell that Twilight didn't want to leave.

"She made a friend, and now she doesn't want to leave."

Dashie sighed, knowing what she was going to do will be something she might regret later, but she knew deep down, it was the right thing to do. She eyed Twilight, who turned away, ready to leave.

"Twilight!"

"W-What?"

Twilight turned around...

"Huh?" she said as she blinked in confusion.

Dashie flew over, but badly acted like she suddenly blasted by something, falling into Twilight's arms, causing her to fall backwards.

"Rainbow!? What are-"

But Twilight couldn't finish as Dashie looked up, smiling.

"Oh no. Looks like I'm going with you. Welp, bummer."

Twilight blinked and then smiled as she realized what Dashie had done. She shook her head.
"You idiot."

"Sorry, I guess." Dashie said, chuckling.

Twilight smiled, glad that she didn't have to leave her behind. As they fell through the gateway, two things happened. The first was Dashie heard someone calling out to her. She and Twilight looked ahead, seeing someone rocketing toward them. Dashie knew who it was, as it was her mother, Blitz. Second was the rainbow jacket, as it started to glow much brighter.

"Dashie!?" Blitz screamed, seeing her daughter slowly disappearing into a Prism Window. Not only that, but she could see an alternate version of Twilight holding her daughter and wearing Spark's jacket.

"Mom!? What are you doin-"

"DASHIE!?" Blitz couldn't reach her in time as the two fully disappeared into the gateway, which closed behind them. "NO! DASHIE!"

Blitz stopped where the two teenagers once stood. She didn't have time to process what happened, as the farm area started shaking violently.

"What the fuck is happening?!"

She looked around, seeing cracks starting to appear everywhere.

"No..." she flew up into the sky and saw a bright light shining out of the forest of apples.


Everyone in the town could see rifts and cracks forming in the sky. Cracks releasing glitching prism lights. Within those rifts, however, were different universes...the very same event that happened 24 years ago...


"Whoa!"

Twilight fell on her back, while Dashie fell on top of her. Both watched as the gateway to Dashie's universe vanished. Dashie looked around and saw it was in a white void filled with vast trees. Those trees were different colors, but one that loomed over them was a rainbow color. Dashie turned around and looked at Twilight, realizing she was on top of her.

Dashie blushed. "Oh, sorry. Let me get off of you."

Twilight looked away, blushing as well. "Y-Yeah. Thanks."

The two got off of each other, but soon heard Void's voice, making them turn to her. What they saw shocked them. Void was overlooking a large crack in the ground. The two joined her and looked down.

"What is this?" Twilight asked.

Dashie lowered herself and looked deeper. Her mind started to think up of different theories in what they were looking at.

"It's like my in universe but way more severe. But why?" she whispered the last part. Dashie stood up and turned to the two. "...you two didn't also fight here, did you?"

Void and Twilight quickly eyed each other and then pointed at each other as they both spoke.

"SHE STARTED IT!"

Twilight narrowed her eyes in anger. "Bullshit! You started it! You attacked me first!"

Void smirked. "Yeah, I did, but if you haven't worn that jacket, then whatever is going on wouldn't be happening, so yeah, it's your fault!"

Twilight growled. "You little..."

The two started pushing and grabbing each other's hair. Dashie watched and sighed. She didn't understand the whole story behind these two fighting, but the more she looked at them fight, the more she couldn't stop smiling.

"Alternate versions or not, you two sure acts like twin sisters. Fighting and having their hair pulled. Heh. So cute."

Both girls stopped and glared at Dashie, making her back off as she could see how mad they were.

"RAINBOW!" "DASH!"

"WE'RE NOT SISTERS!" both girls said in unison.

Dashie gulped and laughed nervously. "O-Oh, right, hehe, sorry..."

As the two girls started fighting with Dashie, the cracks started to get worse than before as everything started to shake violently. The trees started to sway, making their branches shake, moving their Prism windows. The girls looked back at the cracks and could see glitching prism lights coming out. Void took a closer look and saw something down below in the cracks, making her smile.

"Oh, that's what's going on!"

The two eyed her.

"What? Do you know what's happening?"

"Of course, I do. We're inside the Realm of Between, a universe between universes. It's not just a realm, but also a link, a connection. It's not really a world but more like an interdimensional hub, a bridge if you will, and it connects every single universe together." she pointed to the vast forest before them. "In this endless forest are different prime universes. Those branches are the different alternate universes of said prime universes and below..." they all looked down, seeing only glitching prism lights. "I can use this! I can harvest dark negative energy faster than before. Then Mother's goal can be reached!" she raised an arm up in the air and making it into a fist. "Everything will end!" she slowly turned to them, smiling with a twisted smile. "Her happy ending will be made and no one going to stop her or..." she lowered the arm, standing there with her twisted smile. "Me."

Twilight could feel Void's magic surging through her body. She knew that Void was about to fight her again, and she was ready. She pulled Dashie behind her and took her battle stance but as she did, she felt her own magic surging again but going somewhere and that was...

"Mother's jacket!?"

The rainbow jacket started to glow brightly, covering her whole body. Dashie and Void covered their eyes. The bright light soon engulfed Dashie as well and with a loud boom, the two were gone. Void lowered her energy and grit her teeth.

"Faker got away before I could finish her! Damn..." she looked back down in the cracks, seeing what the other two couldn't be seen before, and it was the tree's roots. The roots were exposed to the outside of the Realm of Between, making the outside surface of the roots to come off and revealing Prism windows but looking like clocks.

Void looked away and debated with herself in what she should do. Should she return to her mother and tell her what had happened, or should she not report the events and handle everything on her own? Of course, Void went with the latter. She knew her mother would be mad, but if she could get the job done, then all would be forgiven.

"I can do this on my own! I can make her dream a reality, I can repay her for saving me and being my..." she clutched her chest, smiling as she remembered how Fayth saved and took her in, raising her like a daughter. "She made me stronger than I was already before. Showing me that suffering and hopelessness can lead to great power. Now..." her eyes were glowing purple. "Now, I'll make sure Mother's wish is fulfilled, but I can't have that faker and her friend in my way!"

She closed her eyes, sensing where they had gone. It didn't take long as she was tracking the same magical energy like she did before and found them. She slowly opened her eyes and smiled.

"I will kill them! My mother killed Spark, so it's only natural that I kill Spark's stupid and weak daughter. But the human girl, Dashiell. she seems like a strong fighter, and if I can't kill her, then I can..." she saw flashes of Dash, smiling at her. She quickly brush those thoughts out of her mind. "...kill. Yeah, kill her too."

Void pulled out a gray book and a feather pen with magic and opened a gateway into a universe when she opened and wrote in the book. She quickly jumped through it, disappearing.


"So..." Dashie whispered as she looked around. "You said this didn't happen before?"

Twilight nodded, but her face had a deep red blush as she could feel Dashie's arms around her waist, holding on to her as the two were hovering in a void of rainbow light.

"Yeah, this is new. When it first happened, I was already teleported to the Realm of whatever, not floating in some colorful void like this." she slowly turned her head down, seeing Dashie's face close to hers. "Rainbow, um, can you, um, let go?"

"Huh?" Dashie whispered, hearing Twilight's nervous voice. She moved her hands, feeling Twilight's sides, making her feel her friend's strong and well built sides. "Oh, sorry."

Dashie pulled her arms away and moved a few inches away, but the rainbow light didn't let them go anywhere. Dashie and Twilight looked around, wondering why they couldn't move away from each other. Dashie started to put her mind to work.

"Maybe whatever we are going, Twi, it's taking the jacket a while to reach? Or..."

"I think it's...wait!" Twilight face went more red when she heard it. "Hey, don't say my name like that!"

Dashie faced her, confused. "Like what?"

Twilight looked away, her blush not fading.

"You said 'Twi'. You're not suppose to say it like that. It's Twilight."

Dashie tilted her head.

"Uh, why not?"

Dashie could see that Twilight was having trouble giving a reason and it finally hit Dashie in why Twilight was acting like that. She smirked as she couldn't wait to mess and tease Twilight.

"Ohhhhh, I see. You give me a nickname, but I can't give you one back in turn? Is that it?"

Twilight didn't say a word, only pouting with annoyance.

"Oh, I get it now." Dashie moved closer, smirking. "Is my Twilight feeling embarrassed or shy? Shy that I called her 'Twi'? I mean, it's only fair since you've been calling me Rainbow instead of Dashie, or my real name."

Twilight looked away, still not saying a word, making Dashie chuckle.

"Come on, Twi. Don't be mad, I'm just teasing you, hehe." she flew around her and then finally above her, laying back and relaxing. "Besides, I like the nickname you called me by. 'Rainbow' sounds cool, you know?" she peeked down, seeing Twilight still looking away. Dashie chuckled and closed her eyes. "Welp, if you don't want me to call you Twi, then I'll stop, ok-"

"I like it..."

"Hmm?" Dashie asked, opening her eyes and turning her head down.

"I... I like the nickname, and it's just that no one ever gave me a nickname before, except for my mother." Dashie flipped over and could see Twilight smiling a bit, but it was filled with sadness. "My Mother called me sweet pea or spark of hope. Those names reminded me how much she loved me."

"Sweet pea...huh?" Dashie flew down, hovering before her friend. She looked at her and started to think to herself in her thoughts. "My mother also called me that. Even Aunty Spark and Braver as well...speaking of Aunty Spark..." she looked at the rainbow jacket. "This is my aunt's jacket, no doubt. I can just feel her presence coming off it, but Twi said this belonged to her mother, but then that mean she is..."

"Rainbow..."

Dashie snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at Twilight, who was looking annoyed but still having a deep blush on her face.

"Twi?"

Twilight crossed her arms, hiding her breasts from sight. "Stop staring at me like that. I can feel you looking at them...perv..."

Dashie blinked and quickly went red in the face, realizing what Twilight was talking about.
"Oh, uh, sorry. I-I didn't mean to. This is a big misunderstanding! I swear!"

"Whatever."

The two hovered in silence, not knowing what else to talk about, and Dashie's mind was trying to put things together. Was Twilight her cousin? But if so, why didn't Spark never ever talked about having a kid? Not only that, but she heard how Spark had a girlfriend, so Spark couldn't have a child, unless maybe magic or adoption? She needed clear answers, and the only one who had them were Twilight herself. Dashie was going to ask her when Twilight spoke up.

"I also had another nickname..."

"Huh?"

Dashie saw Twilight looking down in sadness.

"It was 'Big Horn' because of how stupid long my horn is."

Dashie looked up at Twilight's horn, and she didn't realize it until she pointed it out. Twilight's horn was indeed long than the unicorns horns she had seen. She visited Equestria, but because she was too young to remember, all she had to go off of was her stepmother, Sunny, and her little half-sister, Sol.

"...Rainbow..."

Dashie once more snapped out of her thoughts and realized she was staring again.

"Whoops! Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean too."

"Why are you apologizing?" Twilight asked, looking away.

"Um, cause I'm staring, and I thought that you were mad at me?"

Twilight shook her head. "Why should I be upset? My horn is ugly, so it's only natural that everyone looks at it in disgust."

"Ugly?" Dashie asked, confused.

"Yeah. It's not the right shape, and it's long, so yeah, ugly. So, I don't mind." she lied and Dashie could see that.
Dashie placed her arms behind her back, giving a sad expression to her friend. "Twi, your horn is not ugly."

Twilight looked back at her.

"Yeah, it is! I can see it on everyone's faces when they look at it!"

"No, they're not." Dashie said, frowning. "Your horn is beautiful, Twi."

Twilight saw flashes of Dash, saying the same thing before her death. This made Twilight to shake her head, getting rid of the image from her thoughts. "H-How can you say that!? You don't even know me, Rainbow."

Twilight held her head down, trying not to cry. Dashie could see her struggling and felt sad for her friend. She wanted to help her. She flew over and grabbed her hand, making Twilight face her.

"Twi, look. Your horn may be different, and some may say it's not the best or beautiful, but I can honestly say this, and I don't care if you believe me or not. But I don't think it's ugly, not even close. It's unique. You're different, Twi. Different is not bad, it's special." as Dashie said that, Twilight's head started to hurt as she saw flashes of Dash, weakly smiling at her. "I admire your big horn. It's one of a kind, unique, and beautiful,"

Twilight shut her eyes, not wanting to remember what happened after that. She didn't want to remember the pain of losing the person she loved so much.

"Twi..."

Twilight suddenly felt a warm hand on her cheek, making her open her eyes and saw Dashie. Dashie was smiling warmly at her, which made her feel a little better. Seeing Dashie before her made her feel something she missed all those years ago. She didn't want to admit to those feelings because of her ego and fear, but right here and now, she couldn't hide them anymore.

"Rainbow..."

"Yeah?"

"I-"

Suddenly, the jacket glowed brighter than before, blinding the two, and soon the light engulfed them, transporting them once again. Where ever they were going, it was pulling the two part from each other, making Twilight start to panic. She was going to lose someone again and she couldn't let that happen. She held on to Dashie's hand.

"RAINBOW!"

"TWI!"

Both girls were soon engulfed by the bright light and were gone...


"Twi! Where are you!? TWI!?"

Dashie woke up in a dark place and saw she was alone. She figured she must be inside some building or a vast vehicle, as she could hear a very loud laser blasting sound. It echoed through the darkness.

"Where am I?"

Suddenly she could hear loud and heavy footsteps as it was getting closer. She turned around and could see something tall with wings. Dashie could sense she was in danger and slowly stepped back.

"Stay back! I might not like it, but I can fight!"

She tried to find something to use as a weapon, but before she could, the thing came out of the shadows, and what Dashie saw was not a monster, but a...


Twilight's head was spinning, and her hearing was buzzing loudly like she was hit by a flashbang.

"Rainbow?"

Her hearing was slowly returning, but her vision was still a little fuzzy. She hardly made out a few figures looming over her, looking down on her.

"What...?"

"Is this the one you were talking about a few years back?" said a female voice but with a strict and cold tone.

Twilight could hear another voice, which sounded like an energetic tomboy. "I mean, the jacket is the same, but that's not Spark...unless she has a younger sister or something. Maybe it's one of the teammates she told us about?"

Hearing that alone made Twilight snap out of her daze, and her eyesight finally returned. What she saw were four women looking down on her.


The first one was a green female wildcat teenager.


Next to her was another teenager but an orange-haired and pale skin dog.


Beside them was a teen purple-haired water dragon girl and an older panda woman who looked like she was in her mid-twenties. The panda drew her spear, pointing the ice cover blade at Twilight's neck.


"Neera!? Stop! What are you doing!? She's not an enemy!" the dragon teen yelled.

The one named Neera, narrowed her eyes at Twilight, not taking her eyes off her.


"We don't know if she is or not. She could be working for the other side, just like Carol's evil sister!"

The wildcat, named Carol, crossed her arms; upset.

"Dude. My sister isn't evil."

Neera kept her spear close to Twilight's throat, but Twilight had enough and grabbed the blade with her hand. She used her Arcane fist: fire, to melt the blade.

"I fucking dare you to do that again, you panda bitch."

Neera was stunned, not knowing what happened. The dragon teen gasped and was shocked.


"H-How did she do that!? Neera's weapons are made from her ice powers, and they can't be easily melted like that!"

Twilight pushed the stick away and stood. She looked around for Dashie but saw nothing but a resting or small loading Bay Area of some sort. It all looked futuristic to her. She could see a window and hurried to it, while the dragon girl told her to wait.

Twilight reached the window and was shocked to see that she was in space and could see a planet not far from her location. She had never been in space before.


"What the hell!? I'm in space!?"


"Do you know someone named Spark? Because that-"

Twilight's ears twitched and quickly turned around, grabbing the dragon girl's white overtunic.


"HEY NOW! LET MY FRIEND GO!" Carol shouted with worry.

The teen dog took a fighting stance but also looked worried.

"Please stand down. We aren't here to hurt you!"

Before Twilight could say anything, the dragon teen placed her hand out to them, telling them to stand down. Twilight could tell this girl was level-headed and knew how to handle things calmly...unlike her...


"Hold on, girls. She's scared and confused." she turned to Twilight, smiling softly. "It's ok. We're friends here. No need to worry. My name is Sash Lilac. Are you one of Spark's teammates? We met Spark before, so we aren't-"

Twilight was surprised, hearing the dragon teen say that. Hearing her mother's name was making her miss her.
"You've met my mom?"


It was Lilac turn to be confused. "Wait, you are Spark's daughter?"


Carol scratched her ear. "I didn't even know she had a kid."

Twilight let her go and asked where she was, and Lilac answered her.


"You are on the Bakunawa. A giant spaceship that's going to fire its mining laser at our moon."


Neera continued as she was fixing her spear with her ice powers. "To harvest it into energy, so it can initiate space travel. In doing so, devastating Avalice, our planet, in the process."


Lilac finished what Neera said. "And we are here to stop it!"

Twilight got the run-down. She ended up in another universe and one that seemed to be in danger. She looked around and comfired that Dashie wasn't anywhere in this room.

"Tell me! Have you seen anyone else? She's a human looking girl! Her name is Rainbow Das-I mean Dashiell!"

The group look at each other and then back at Twilight, shaking their heads, but Lilac could tell whoever Twilight was looking for meant a lot to her. She stepped forward and smiled.


"We'll find this person!"


Carol cough. "Aren't we are here to save the whole world? Not to find this missing girl."


Lilac nodded. "Yeah, and we will, but we can do both! Come on, Carol, you and I are a team, right?" she looked over to the teen dog and Neera, who had finally fixed her spear. "With Milla and Neera. We'll be sure to find her and save our world! Besides, if this girl here is Spark's daughter, then we owe it to her after she helped you guys in saving me three years ago."


Carol sighed. "There she goes again, being ms. hero pants like always..." but Carol rubbed her nose, grinning. "But hey, I'm with you, Lilac. Let's kick ass and save the day!"


Milla walked up and put her arm around Carol's neck, grinning.
"Let's not forget the 'Save the missing girl' too, right?


Neera nodded. "I'll do what I can, even though I don't trust her."

Twilight rolled her eyes, crossing her arms.

"I didn't ask for your help in feeling that loser! I don't even want you helping me, so don't bother!"


Neera looked at her in anger. "You dare to spit in our faces after we said we will help you!?" she stepped up to Twilight to give her a piece of her mind, but Lilac moved in front of her.


"Now, now, let's not fight!" Lilac turned to Twilight, asking for her name.

"..."

Lilac tilted her head, wondering why Twilight wasn't answering her.


"Um, hello?"

Twilight was silent, and her mind was remembering her mother, and what her mother did for others. This was her chance to prove herself that she could help and save other universes. She turned to Lilac with a somewhat smile and answered her.

"Twilight. Twilight Spark."

The group said their names again to Twilight. Twilight asked them who was behind this evil act of destroying the moon. Lilac answered her with a sad expression.


"The mastermind behind this is called..."


Dashie gulped at the tall wing creature before her. It was a blue dragon wearing strange armor.

"Her name is Merga."
