Chapters It was a beautiful day in Equestria, all the ponies where at the market buying items they needed for daily life. Twilight walks around looking for items so she can practice a particular spell.
"Spike were only here for a few items, so don't waste our time buying stupid items you will never use. Like last time when you bought that bowling ball you don't even use okay!" Twilight said looking at Spike with a dead look in her eye.
"It's okay Twi, trust me, ill be good this time." Spike says grabbing 10 bits out of Twilight's hoof. Twilight rolls her eyes and walks into the first store. She buys the certain items she needs and walks away. As she is walking away Rainbow Dash falls from the sky and hits the floor.
"Ahhhhhh!" Rainbow Dash screams. She gets up shaking the dirt of her saying "Sorry Twilight still trying to get this new trick down."
"Hahahaha look at Rainbow Crash over there still falling out of the sky to your doom I see." Says Dumbbell and Hoops laughing. "Better watch your self don't wanna bruise yourself to hard. HAHAHAHAHA!"
"Shut up Dumbbell! Plus I'm a much better flyer than you anyways. I am the best flyer to come out of Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash says.
"Sure what ever you say RAINBOW CRASH! Hahahaha!" Dumbbell and Hoops laughed walking away.
Twilight looks at Rainbow Dash as her hooves dig deep in the ground. "Don't let them get to you like that Rainbow, besides you completed the Sonic Rainboom they didn't so their is no needs for you to worry."
"Yeah but there still the most annoying pegasus I have ever known in my whole life." Rainbow Dash says looking at Twilight with a sad look. Pinkie Pie walks down the road and sees Rainbow Dash sad and runs over to her.
"Rainbow! Rainbow! What's wrong Rainbow! Rainbow why are you sad RAINNBOOOWWWWW!"
"Pinkie!" Twilight screams as Pinkie sits on the grass, Rainbow Dash flies away leaving her friends behind. Up in the clouds Lightning Dust was looking down listening to the whole conversation. For people who don't know, Lightning Dust was friends with Rainbow Dash in the Wonderbolt Academy. But after Rainbow Dash got her demoted from lead pony to wing pony, she became her rival and swore for revenge.
"So Rainbow Dash it seems you do have rivals in your little world of Ponyville and Cloudsdale besides me. Well we will see who has the last laugh when i'm done with you haaaaaaa!"

The next day Twilight awoke from her bed and walked downstairs. She had a lot to do today, so she went looking for Spike her most trusted assistant. "Spike! Spike! Spike! where are you? Sometimes I don't know what to do with this dragon." She search every where and could not find him. "Sweet Celestia where is he? SPIKKKKKEEEEE!" She walks outside and sees that Rainbow Dash had crashed again and Spike broke her fall. Sort of.
"Ouch sorry Spike i'm still trying to complete the Sonic Rainboom so I don't fall." Rainbow Dash says getting up wiping the dirt off her body and mane.
"Dashie you are trying to hard practicing this one move. Take a break and relax for at least a few minutes okay." Twilight says.
"No I can't Twilight I have a flying match today with Dumbbell and Hoops. This is one of the most important races in my life, and me not training isn't going to mess it up!" Rainbow Dash screams flying away. Twilight walks away with a worried look on her face. She tries to think of an idea to help Rainbow Dash.
"Spike Rainbow is trying to hard we need to help her." Twilight says.
"Well while you do that i'm gonna go back to sleep okay."
"SPIKE!"
"Okay, Okay i'm kidding Twilight calm down."
"Go gather the Girls Spike and meet me back here. We have to help Rainbow Dash before she might seriously hurt herself."
"You can count on me Twi."
"Thanks Spike."
Rainbow Dash practices her flying skills, dashing through the clouds. As she's flying she thinks she sees a familiar pony in the distance. "Huh." Rainbow Dash says rushing towards it as the figure disappears. Rainbow Dash shrugged her shoulders and went on she didn't want to be late for the race.
"Okay girls..." Twilight says as Spike interrupts her.
"I'm not a girl." Spike comments.
"Okay girls and Spike. But anyways Rainbow is working herself to hard and is in a race and we need to be their to make sure she doesn't hurt herself."
"But also we need to be their to give her support." Apple Jack comments.
"Yes that to. All right girls move out." Twilight says as the girls including Spike head to the center of town to get to the race.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Rainbow Dash steps up to the starting line ready to race. She listens to the crowds screaming and chanting. The girls make it just in time as the race is about to begin.
"GOOD LUCK DASHIE!" Pinkie screams as the count down starts.
"5"
"Good luck Rainbow Crash your gonna need it." Dumbell says.
"4"
"Trust me you will need it more than I do" Rainbow Dash says.
"3"
"2"
"1"
"GO!"
The race starts as Rainbow Dash passes Dumbell and Hoops with ease. She looks back and doesn't anyone behind her.
" Haha I am a indestructible pegasus." She says turning around as she falls to the ground unconscious. Right before she passes out she sees Dumbell, Hoops, and that pony who she saw earlier while flying.
"Haaa welcome to the revenge Rainbow CRASH!"

Rainbow's loss Lightning Dust 1 Rainbow Dash 0
Rainbow Dash regains control of herself and gets up. Her friends right behind her trying to helping her up.
"What happened to you Rainbow Dash? You lost the race and we found you here ." Applejack said.
"Dashie your head it's bleeding." Rarity says looking at the cut on Rainbow Dash head.
"It's nothing just a minor cut, where's Dumbbell?" Rainbow Dash says trying to get up and falls to the ground.
"Dashie stop he won the race, and he's gone. Dumbbell, Hoops, and this mysterious blue and yellow colored pony flew back to Cloudsdale." Pinkie said with a sad look on her face.
"I'm going to kill you Dumbbell!" Rainbow Dash tries to fly away as Apple Jack bites her tail.
"Hold it right there cowboy. You are hurt, you need to rest and calm down!" Apple Jack says gripping her teeth on Rainbow Dash tail.
"Rainbow you need to calm down and come back to the library with me." Twilight says.
"Fine let's go, but as soon as my wound is healed in going after Dumbbell, Hoops, and that other pony." Rainbow Dash said.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Lightning Dust fly's to Cloudsdale with Dumbbell and Hoops. She walks into the house with a confused look.
"This is it?" Lightning Dust says still looking confused.
"Well were not the richest ponies in the ponyverse. What did you think we had a mansion?" Dumbbell says.
"Well I thought... you know, there be way more than just this. I can't live like this."
The house was way to small for more than two ponies to live in. There were only two rooms with two beds, a kitchen, and a living room, which lead to the outside of Cloudsdale.
"Well looks like i'm going to have to edit this place. Leave and come back in about 10 hours." Lightning Dust says getting the necessary tools ready.
10 HOURS LATER
"WOW!" Dumbbell says looking at the house. It's was completely upgraded with everything needed for more than at least 10, maybe 1,000 ponies to live inside of it.
"The house isn't important it's what we need to talk about is more important come one." Lightning Dust said taking them into the basement. The basement looked super evil. Just for evil plans to be discussed without interruption, or anyone to hear them.
"Okay our first plan went well, but we need to make sure that everything else goes well." Lighting Dust says.
"Yeah but aren't we going to need more ponies added to our..." Dumbbell tries to say.
"Shhhhh, that's exactly what i'm going to talk about. I need ponies who really envy Rainbow Dash. Do you know anyone like that? " Lightning Dust asked looking at Dumbbell.
"UMM your asking us?" Dumbbell tries to be funny.
"No i'm asking Rainbow Dash. Duh i'm asking you!" Lightning Dust yells.
Dumbbell and his friend looks around the room whistling and humming.
"Ughh you guys are useless!" Lightning Dust flies out the house to look for ponies to help her. She searched and searched but found no one that could help her. Below her she hears Rainbow Dash below her talking to Pinkie Pie, and listens in to the conversation.
"Now Pinkie remember, a lot of ponies out here think i'm weak and i'm not going to take it. Especially that other pony NovaSpit."
"I thought it was NovaSwift?"
"I know his name Pinkie I was making fun of him. But he's not as aggravating as Dumbbell."
"But you can't race him you still have that scar."
Rainbow feels the scar on her head. "I know Pinkie but im fine. Im going to talk to NovaSpit tomorrow."
Rainbow Dash flies away, and Pinkie Pie skips along the road.
"NovaSwift? Never heard of him. Oh well if she says he's her rival I might as well. Hehehe." Lightning Dust laughs flying away and stops. "Oh right I have no idea where he lives... I'll just ask Dumbbell maybe he know's."
__________________________________________________________________________________
Lightning Dust gets back to Dumbbell house where she walks inside looking for Dumbbell. "Hey DUMBBELL! Where are you I need you?"
"Right here what you need Dusty?"
"Who's NovaSwift?"
"NovaSwift, NovaSwift... Oh NovaSpit yeah he's claimed to be second best flier in Cloudsdale. Rumors say him and Rainbow Dash have a crush on each other."
"Too much information just show me where he lives I need to talk to him."
"Okay then i'm warning you though he probably wont want to join us."
"Better to try than not to try, get up i'll meet you two outside."
Dumbbell and his friend get's up to get ready to go. They walk outside and take Lightning Dust to NovaSwift house.
"Nova you home?" Dumbbell asked.
"What do you want Dumbbell i'm busy."
"Well I have a new friend that wants to talk to you."
"I'm getting ready for my race tomorrow with Rainbow Dash. But fine i'm coming down."
"Listen Nova, my friend Lightning Dust wants to speak to you about your girlfriend Rainbow Crash."
"She's not my girlfriend but whatever. I will talk to her but I don't have long."
"Hi NovaSwift I need to talk to you about Rainbow Dash." Lightning Dust says as NovaSwift opens the door.
"Why? What did she do to you."
"Oh you will find out and a lot more to." Lightning Dust walks in closing the door behind her.
NovaSwift steps back slowly as Lightning Dust approaches him.
"What do you want from me?" NovaSwift asked.
"Oh nothing much, just an answer." Lightning Dust says.
"An answer for what?" I don't know what you are talking about?"
"Oh an answer for if you wanna to join us?"
"Join you for what? I can tell your not part of the Wonderbolts."
"Oh I just want you to join us to help us destroy Rainbow Dash, and end her career of flying."
"But didn't Dumbbell beat her some how?"
"Yeah but you know, I need more people besides Dumbbell and Hoops. I thought you be a perfect addition."
"I don't want to hurt Rainbow Dash."
" I know you don't wanna hurt your girlfriend.... I just wanna end her flying career. Think about my offer, and meet me at Dumbbell's place." Lightning Dust says walking out the door. NovaSwift sits on the couch and thinks for a moment. Then walks out so he's not late for the race.
"I told you he won't join." Dumbbell said.
"Yeah he's truly in love with Rainbow Dash." Hoops says.
'Whatever. He has a race with Rainbow Dash today and were going to be their. Lightning Dust says smiling.
"Do we need to bring the rocks." Hoops says holding a bag of rocks in his hoof.
"NO! I have a better idea. The race is in the everfree forest, and I have the greatest plan that can't possibly fail." Lightning Dust says.
_______________________________________________________________________________
"Rainbow Dash you ready?" NovaSwift says.
"Yeeup your going down NovaSpit!" Rainbow Dash said winking at NovaSwift.
"3"
"2"
"1"
"GO!"
"Come on you two you need to hurry up." Lightning Dust says.
"Were trying give us a minute." Dumbbell said setting up the trap for Rainbow Dash and NovaSwift.
"There coming!" Hoops said running into the bushes.
"Rainbow Dash you are a really fast flier. But not fast enough!" NovaSwift said trying to fly past Rainbow Dash. Then suddenly a net falls on Rainbow Dash and NovaSwift trapping them.
"Ugggh let me out!" Rainbow Dash said biting and punching the net.
"Hello Rainbow Dash long time no see." Lightning Dust appears from behind the bush.
"No it can't be." Rainbow Dash says.
"Hi Rainbow Dash remember me? I finally have you right where I want you."
"Lightning Dust I thought we were friends."
"Sure Rainbow Dash keep telling yourself that. After the incident with the Wonderbolts I have always wanted revenge, and i'm finally going to get it."
"But Lightning......"
"Shhh it's to late for that." Lightning Dust says pulling out a knife and points it to NovaSwift.
"Hold up what are you gonna do with that?" NovaSwift says with a worried look on his face.
"Shhh Nova I can let you go on one condition." Lightning Dust replies.
"What is your demands?"
"Join us and help us fight against Rainbow Dash. Then we can start a new era in flying. But if you choose not to." Lightning Dust says licking the knife letting blood from her tongue drip down from the knife onto the ground.
"Nova please don't do this to me." Rainbow Dash says.
"Silence!" Lightning Dust says cutting Rainbow Dash foot with a slice. It was only a scratch and not a deep cut. The blood from her foot oozed out as she fell to the floor.
______________________________________________________________________________________
"Okay! Don't hurt her, i'll join you." NovaSwift says.
'Nova no...." Rainbow Dash tries to say.
"No leave me Dashie."
"Also if you think about attacking me, don't think I don't have back up." Lightning Dust says as Hoops and Dumbbell apper from behind a tree.
"Now Rainbow Dash better hope some one finds you cause if they don't, I hope you can make a leaf bandage." Lightning Dust says flying away with Nova and her crew.
Rainbow Dash looks around for any one to rescue her. No pony around to save her. The cut on her leg started to look a little black. If she didn't find help soon, her leg would get infected. She looks up at NovaSwift who air hugs her and then flies off into the distance. Rainbow Dash was always brave but never experience true terror. The fact that she could die right now scared her. Rainbow Dash starts to weep as tears slide down her face. She get's up to put pressure on her wound using her hoof. She looks for something to cut the net. Nothing around her. She lays down and pray's to Celestia that she makes it out alive.
____________________________________________________________________________________
"Wow we actually got him to join." Hoops said smiling.
"Shut up you two. Watch Nova, make sure he doesn't escape." Lightning Dust says looking back to make sure NovaSwift was still there.
"I can't believe you left her, your a monster!" Nova screams.
"NO! Rainbow Dash messed with me Lightning Dust. Now she get's what she deserves."
"Yeah but you don't have to treat her like this!"
"Well I guess you want to join her." Lightning says showing NovaSwift the knife.
"No."
"Well then shut up and keep flying. Any more back talk outta you and your gonna join her got it!"
"Got it." Nova says as the four pegasus fly all the way to Dumbbell's house. Nova walks in were the ponies surround him, and backs him into a corner.
'Nova,Nova. We can't trust you just yet to leave to house. To make sure you know we mean business were going to have to make you understand." Lightning Dust says.
"How will you do that?"
"Oh you'll see."
The next day Hoops walked into Clouds dale all dressed in black. He was looking for someone important.
"Where is? Come on I don't have all day." Hoops says waiting for what seemed like hours before another pony dressed in black fly's towards Hoops.
"Sorry i'm late." Score says.
"Where have you been I have been waiting on you for like hours."
"Sorry Bro my mom was keeping me held up because I Didn't finish cleaning my room."
"Well that's not important. I need to talk to you about something else."
"Well then what is it?"
"We need to go to a better location were people can't hear us. Follow me."
"Okay then...."
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lightning Dust walks across the room pacing. Dumbbell looks at her with an anxious look on his face. Nova Swift had fell
asleep while trying to free himself from the rope he was tied to.
Lightning Dust stops pacing and looks at Dumbbell "What's so good about your stupid friend Dumbbell?"
"Well first of all he's good at persuading people and inventing items. After we had separated, Score had took a fond in electronics and technology and started to study more about it.
"Well he better be worth the wait."
Nova swift starts to wake up from his daze and sees Lightning Dust pacing.
"Huh what happened?" Nova Swift says looking around.
"Nova Swift we need you to tell us everything you know about Rainbow Dash." Lightning Dust says.
"Your kidding right....You really think I tell you."
"Okay then just wait you will tell us."
Score and hoops walk in discussing about their evil plan, what they were doing, etc.
"So you see..." Hoops tries to say when Lightning Dust interrupts him.
"Quiet! Score I need you to build me two things."
"What are they?"
"First a lie detector."
"Umhumm."
"And second....."
After a total of possibly 5 hours Score finishes the two machines and brings them to the basement. He puts the machines in front of her as they plug up the wires into plugs and on Nova Swift.
"So Nova your gonna tell us everything you know about Rainbow Dash"
"And what if I Don't tell you shit."
"Well Score can answer that for you."
"First this machine a lie detector test. Lie if you want but the machine knows if your lying. Secondly this machine a cattle prod if you stay silent or if you tell a lie it will burn you. Like with a cow but instead this hurts way worst but it won't leave a mark. So Nova tell us what do you know about Rainbow Dash?"
"I Don't know anything."
"Okay then well how about we test out the cattle prod."
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
"Nova Swift looks up and starts to tear up because of the pain. He tell's them the most important of information they need to know. Lightning Dust then looks at score and tells him to build her one more machine. He quickly builds the machine as she frees Nova Swift and puts the machine on top of Nova Swift's head.
"Now Nova Swift now that your under my control I call the shots now. With this device you are to listen to me and only me. Now with Nova Swift the second best flyer in all of Equestria under my control nothing can stop us. You better prepare your self Rainbow Dash because a war is about to begin. Nova give this letter to Rainbow Dash's friends. Hoops, Score, Dumbbell prepare some machines. Welcome to war Rainbow Dash."
