*Ten Minutes Earlier*

She was bored. She was waiting patiently. She wanted to get Fink. She wanted not to be there. She threw the ball and hit her friend in the back of the head.

"Okay... So I was a little off."

"A little?! You call that a little off?"

"What else would I call it Rare?" The prismatic haired woman said to her. Rarity scoffed and turned to her.

"I told you Dash, my name is Ruby. We don't want to cause a panic considering that Fink hired us and has no clue we're here for Pinkie." Rarity, or Ruby Refinre in this case, said to Rainbow Dash, which had taken the name Dash Prismatica. Dash sighed and looked at the ball she was given.

76

Raffles were always bad luck for her. She lost almost ever single one. The she DID win, she promised to never speak of... eugh. The thought of it made her cringe. Shaking her head she saw Fink walk out onto the stage and speak for the winning number.

"And the lucky number is... Number 77!" Dash punched the wall next her so hard her hand bled. Her growl escaped her throat, and the ball she was holding flew out of the boundaries of Columbia into the open sky.

"...Fuckin' Lady Luck, fuckin' humans... what could be possibly worse?" She asked. Some where in the Multiverse, a lady by the name of Fate smiled and snapped her fingers together.

"False Shepperd! It's the False Shepperd!" A man next to them cried and two police men stepped up and grabbed him. They couldn't here what Fink said, but Rainbow and Rarity both knew what was about to happen. The Sky-Hook the policeman had started spinning dangerously close to the mans face, when suddenly the officer on his right flew into it, ripping it off his arm. The False Shepperd pulled it out of the Sky-Hook out of the policeman's head and charged a group of policemen.

Rarity took a breath. "Go back to Pinkie's, tell her what happened. I'll stay here and track our False Shepperd those two said to stay away from." She said as Rainbow saluted and jumped onto the nearest Sky Rail. Rarity followed behind the False Shepperd at a distance, at least 6 meters away. He swung the sky hook and dug it into policemen, ripping them apart. She took a sharp in take of breath, as a body flew her way and dropped in front of her. Rarity was... for a lack of a better term, fine with the killing, what she couldn't stand though was the blood flying anywhere near her. Taking another breath, she followed the False Shepperd across the plaza.

Rarity gave her a simple instruction. Go tell Pinkie what happened. So explain this: How do you get fifteen policemen after you? Rainbow Dash flew (metaphorically) on the Sky Rail, dodging bullets, policemen, and her worst enemy, gravity. "Of course, the one time I don't have my wings I'm stuck in a place that flies... What could possibly go wron-" She stopped herself suddenly having already a taste of what Lady Fate had already done to her in the form of policemen. She scoffed and sped up her Sky-Hook, still dodging bullets. Rainbow Dash saw the Pinkies Smile Emporium from where she was currently, and risked the option.

"This is going to hurt... very badly..." She said jumping from the Sky Rail to the window. The window blew in as she crashed through it, her shield taking most of the blow. She slid on the floor, her shield once again taking most of the damage from the glass. She lifted up her head to see Pinkie and a Handyman, Applejack and... a newcomer. She lifted up her hand and saluted with two fingers.

"Yo."

The black haired girl stepped away from Applejack and looked down at her with a hint of recognition. "...Dash?" She said, and Rainbow perked right away. Only three people --er ponies-- called her that name: Applejack, Pinkie, and...

"Twi? Twilight is that you?" She said with a squinted eyes and a small smile across her face. Twilight suddenly grabbed her and pulled her into a hug; Rainbow's head buried in Twilight's breasts. She quickly pulled out of her grasp, and shook her head. "Pinkie! The Raffle! There was--"

"I know Dash, Jackie and Twilight were already there, and Twilight already got her first... unintentional kill." Pinkie said to her, and off in the corner Twilight was rocking back and forth in the fetal position.

"I said I was sorry!"

Rainbow was not what you would call a "Smart person/pony". What she wasn't though, was stupid. So, putting two and two and two together she finally came to the conclusion. "You killed that policeman didn't you? How long have you been here?"

Twilight gulped before speaking. "Ummm... To answer your first question: Yes, your second... a little more than three hours." Dash punched the wall again, the only difference is that it went through the drywall.

"Damn it! Not only does she just get here, but she kills someone before I do!" She complained and punched the wall again, except this time a dull thunk was heard. Twisting her hand to get a grip on whatever it was, she pulled out with her a sapphire bottle with an octopus symbol on the bottle.

"Undertow? Pinkie why do you have a Vigor bottle in your wall?"

"I didn't..." She said staring at the dark blue bottle. When did that get there? Unless... Pinkie perked up slightly and gave Dash a smile. "Give it to Twilight, she still needs all the Vigors."

Rainbow didn't object. She handed her the bottle and, once again, she heard the liquid inside of it, beckoning her to take a drink. Twilight ripped the cap off the bottle and took a deep breath before taking a drink.

The effect was almost immediate. Her hands darkened, water rippling over them. Deep, endless holes filled her hands, and they pulsated in rhythm with her heart. The corner of her eyes darkened, she felt as though she was going to pass out. A sudden flash of white pulled her back to reality and she shook her head to rid of the headache. She groaned in pain and gripped her head.

"Awww.... Why does it has the after effect of headaches?" Twilight asked gripping her head again. She heard Pinkie giggle while Rainbow and Applejack snorted in amusement. Sighing, she stood up and picked the bottle off the ground and read the back.

Undertow!
Wash your enemies away with a torrent of water!
Hold to reel enemies with a tendril of water!

The bottle doesn't lie... though, getting rid of the side effect of "Headaches" might be something to work out.
