Bright Haze: The Sky Dwellers

Rainbow had her head down and wings up, she looked to the ground in shame and confusement, muttering to herself so low even she didn't know what she was saying. It wouldn't be long until they reached Cloudsdale, the group had been given about a hundred elite guards all with armour and weaponry. Rainbow herself had her spear and the same armour she had worn countless times now. Steven was the giant among the group and had some pieces of re-forged armour on but his scales would deflect most of the blows. He had, accidentally broken a tree and was using it as some club weapon. Rainbow, if she didn't know Steven was as bad as Fluttershy in battle, would have been happy he was on their side, but would have preferred if the Bloody Skulls were here. She would have preferred a lot of things. She must have groaned or something for Twilight overheard. Or just noticed Rainbow seemed depressed.

"What's wrong Rainbow Dash?" She asked. The cyan Pegasus looked to her friend.

"Nothin'" Dashie replied. Twilight laughed and walked faster to keep pace of Rainbow.

"I know that's a lie, come on, talk to me." Twilight said, Rainbow Dash hesitated but then took a deep breath.

"Well, its just, Spectra, we never broke up." Rainbow said, blushing already.

"I know."

"And I haven't spoken to him for months, if not years."

"I know."

"And since Bright Haze has been in Ponyville, I have had. Feelings for him.-" Rainbow said, then shook her head. "-Hell i even forgot about Spectra til now, I have gathered feelings for Haze, even though he is with Derpy Hooves." Rainbow said, Twilight nodded.

"I know." Was all she said.

"What do you mean?" Rainbow asked, confused.

"We have all had feelings for Bright Haze, I will admit, it seems weird, but all of us have. Same with Heart Breaker, I will admit, but they are for different mares Rainbow, just like you and Spectra are made. You love each other, you are both bound to like somepony else at one point or another, it is just life, you will figure it out Rainbow. Just don't lose Derpy as a friend over it, or anypony else." Twilight said. Rainbow was in awe.

"Thank you Twi, means a lot." Rainbow replied.

"Yep, "an acount on stallions, mares and love in general, chapter six, if you want it." Twilight replied. Rainbow laughed and they moved on. However their smiles soon were lost...

An hour or two passed and the sky city could be seen, burning. Rainbow thought it was just some trick, her mind being so tired, but no, everypony saw, Cloudsdale had fallen and the Sky Dwellers had been victorious.

"No!" Rainbow shouted, already running toward the city, wings flapping, she didn't manage to take off though as AJ had tackled her.

"Let me go!" Rainbow screamed, trying to break free, anger in Dash's eyes and hatred in her soul.

"No Rainbow, not until you stop. There is no gain in killing yourself." Applejack replied calmly, holding Rainbow down.

"They fucking burned it! I will kill them all! That was my school, my home! They destroyed it!" Rainbow shouted, crying.

"Rainbow, we will get revenge, Haze and the others are now on their way to kill the king, we will win this war." Aplejack said.

"Incoming!" Somepony shouted and everypony disbanded, a flaming rock was shooting from the sky, and behind it, the Sky Dweller army.

"Dwellers!" Somepony else said as the fiery rock smashed home, thankfully killing nopony.

Applejack got off Rainbow who jumped to her feet and looked to the oncoming tide of gold.

"Archers! Fire when ready!" Rainbow shouted. Applejack got her spear ready, Twilight and Rarity were already shooting into the air at the horde and Rainbow was ready.

"Take no prisoners, I am sure they haven't!" Rainbow shouted, seeing red. She flow up, spear out and wings flapping hard. She was screaming at the Dwellers as she gained speed and got closer to them.

Finally she collided with an enemy and stabbed deep through his armour, she swung round to push the body off and jabbing into the next, she was aiming for wings so they would have to fight on the ground or become crippled on impact from the uncontrolled fall. An arrow wizzed past and she flow at the archer, killing him as well. Some Sky Dwellers had been honourable and landed to fight but others were taunting at the ponies on ground, however they were getting shot and killed pretty easy. They weren't trying, only too late did Rainbow realise that there weren't enough numbers to have seiged Cloudsdale as bad as it was..
