Chapter 1: Doppelganger

Those Who Fight For Harmony

Chapter 1:

Doppelganger

It was once again a beautiful day in the land of Equestria. There was not a cloud in the sky... probably from all of Rainbow Dash’s flying. The wind wasn’t strong at all, it barely even made the leaves in the trees move, and there was just a wonderful breeze blowing around all of Ponyville. Fluttershy was tending to her animal friends around her back yard as always. She always had loved animals, even before she had real friends her animal companions were always there for her. Today was like no other, and she was singing a small little tune she always sung while the birds chimed in with her in unison. The bunnies and squirrels were frolicking around and eating plenty of greens and acorns they had found in trees and on the ground. There was no other place in the world like this... at least to Fluttershy there wasn't. It was her utopia, the only place in all of Equestria that she felt she could be her true self.

She was having a grand time playing with all of the animals when she noticed something strange. It was a rabbit, but there was something very strange about this rabbit. It was a different color than any other rabbit she had ever seen. Fluttershy noticed right off the bat the very differences it had, it was some strange purple colored rabbit, with sharp green eyes. It probably had the brightest and sharpest green eyes she had ever seen, and it kind of reminded her of how Spike’s eyes often looked. She quickly grew a liking to its interesting features, “Hewo der wittle guy.” Fluttershy said in her cutesy voice. She often talked to her animal friends this way, especially when she wanted to introduce herself. She tried to hold back shrieks of joy for this was a rare discovery for her! The shy pegasus always did love finding and befriending new animals, “Awww look how cute you are! How would you like to come back home with me?” The rabbit looked like he knew what she was saying and agreed to come along with her back to her house. She was as giddy as a little school filly, “Ohh yay! You are going to love living with us, I’m sure Angel will love the extra company as well.” They soon arrived at Fluttershy’s home. It wasn’t too impressive, just a tree on the outskirts of Ponyville.

They entered the home and it looked a lot nicer on the inside than it did on the inside. It was a quaint little home, two bedrooms, a small kitchen, and a cozy little living room with a fire place... perfect for when she wanted to snuggle up with Angel or some other animal she was taking care of at the time. Fluttershy was rummaging around the house preparing some things for her new friend. “I suppose I should give you a name now.” She said. The rabbit had a sly smile on its face, “There won’t be any need for that.” The rabbit said. Fluttershy was in a shock! She never knew that rabbits could talk, and his voice was so smooth and clear... it was amazing! Fluttershy knew this was no ordinary bunny, “Oh my!” she said with surprise, “I never knew that little bunnies such as yourself could speak so clearly!”

“That’s because I am no ordinary Rabbit” he said.

Fluttershy was confused by his remark; she asked him what exactly he was if he was no ordinary rabbit. The rabbit started laughing maniacally as he began to transform! Fluttershy was quite frightened by the scene that stood before her, for there was no strange looking rabbit, no, standing before her was something strange in of itself. It was a purple mare, with a unicorn horn... and Pegasus wings! Fluttershy was shocked and confused at what she was looking at, for the only other mare she knew who had Pegasus wings and a Unicorn horn was Princess Celestia. The strange mare walked forward towards Fluttershy, “Don’t be scared my dear pony! I just want your power!”

Meanwhile Rainbow Dash was just enjoying another midday nap as usual. She was having a splendid dream about her becoming the best flier in the world, she even muttered it under her breath my sleeping “I'm the greatest flier ever...yeah!” But her dream would have to wait, because she awoke to the sound of someone screaming. Rainbow recognized the scream easily, “That sounded like Fluttershy!” she exclaimed. Rainbow flew as fast as she could towards Fluttershy’s house. When she arrived she slammed the door of Fluttershy’s house wide open and noticed a mare standing above Fluttershy. The mare was overpowering her with some sort of strange magic emitting from its horn. Rainbow quickly dashed at the mare to try and stop it from hurting Fluttershy, but it was no good. The mare put up a magical barrier around itself to protect it from Rainbow’s attack.The mare gave Rainbow Dash a slight grin,

“I commend you for your bravery, but it is all for naught my little pony! I have already obtained this pony’s power! And now I shall obtain yours!”

“What are you talking about?” Rainbow questioned. The mare gave a little snicker under its breath for her stupidity. “Are you stupid or something? Do you not remember what you are?” Rainbow Dash was still confused, it didn’t cross her mind that there was some special power that her friends and her possessed.

“Ummm... we are ponies, duh?”

The mysterious mare gave itself a facehoof and couldn’t believe that she was one of the special ones.

“The elements of harmony you dolt! You and five of your other friends possess the incredible powers of the elements of harmony!”

“Oh yeah…. I knew that!” She said trying to keep her composer.

“Well what the heck do you want with my friends and the elements of harmony anyways you freak?” The mysterious mare gladly agreed to explain.

“You see my dear pony; I am not what you think I am. I am no mare; I am what is known as a doppelganger.” Rainbow Dash just looked more confused than before.

“Allow me to explain” The so called doppelganger said.
“We doppelgangers have no identity of our own; we are born into with no name, no shape, and no past. We are just shapeless shells of a life form. So we travel through many dimensions and universes to try to find our place. We doppelgangers can take the shape and size of anything and perfectly copy ourselves to look like that. Not only can we copy someone or something’s image perfectly, but we can also copy their powers. It takes a while to copy an ability though... but thanks to the powerful magic you possess in this land I can completely copy someones powers without fail, and in a quick manner as well. I have traveled to many worlds, but then I discovered this place, Equestria. I soon and of course I learned about the elements of harmony. So I sought after these elements and gain their powers for myself! Including your friend here, I now have five of the elements of harmony. Now all I need is yours Rainbow Dash!”

Rainbow had a distraught look on her face; he already has five of the elements? She thought to herself. She quickly questioned him in a worried fashion.

“What did you do to my friends?” The doppelganger gave a menacing smile.

“Oh don’t worry about your friends, I have some cohorts of my own to deal with them. You know, I'm not the only doppelganger that is interested in this power that you six have.” Rainbow soon gave a quick smile and looked at the doppelganger with the look of assurance upon her face. “Is that all?” she asked in a mocking manor. The mare looking doppelganger was feeling very puzzled by her statement? The doppelganger was wondering why her expression changed so suddenly. Rainbow Dash gave out a quick giggle, and burst out laughing.

“Do you have any idea what you’re up against? My friends can totally take down your ‘cohorts’ any day of the week, and I think I'm plenty enough for you faker! So bring it on!”

The doppelganger was intrigued by Rainbow’s challenge, while Fluttershy was still in the background whimpering and shaking while holding Angel in fear.
Rainbow Dash and the doppelganger headed outside so that they could have their little showdown. A fierce battle between the heroes of Equestria and the world traveling doppelgangers was about to commence…..

Chapter 2:

Unlimited Potential

Rainbow dash and the Doppelganger stared at each other for a long time. The wind was blowing a bit harder at this time; both of the mare’s mains were flowing beautifully in the air. It almost seemed like their mains were flowing in unison with each other. Rainbow Dash started to become very board with all the staring.

“We going to fight, or are we just going to stand here all day?”

“You make the first move dear.”

“Alright, you asked for it you big fat faker! I’m going to wipe that stupid grin right off your face!”

Rainbow Dash flew at the doppelganger vigorously, but the doppelganger swiftly jumped right over Rainbow Dash and landed safely right back on the ground. Rainbow Dash had to stop and just try to collect what happened.
This doesn’t make any sense that attack would have knocked out any other pony. So how did this faker dodge my attack?

“Getting annoyed Dash?” The doppelganger mocked.

“You know you could just give me your element and I’ll make your death quick and painless.”

Rainbow Dash became infuriated with the mare. Once again she dashed at the doppelganger with a vigorous speed. She kept swinging her hooves at the doppelganger, hoping to land a hit, but it was no good the doppelganger kept dodging her attacks. The doppelganger eventually found an opening and smacked Rainbow with a powerful blow to the face. She plunged a few feet back on the ground, but quickly got up on her hooves preparing for her next attack. Fluttershy was watching the entire fight, and starting to get worried. She had never seen anypony dodge an attack by Rainbow Dash. She was starting to worry that Rainbow couldn’t handle this by herself, but Fluttershy was too frightened to do anything. She was almost in tears, feeling useless not being able to help her friend.

Rainbow Dash was getting angrier and angrier that she hasn’t put a single hit on this faker. The more it dodged her attacks, the more infuriated she became. She kept trying to hit the doppelganger with all her might but it would always counter attack. The doppelganger was starting to become bored.

“Come on; is this really all you got? I thought you were supposed to be the strongest out of your friends. Then again they weren’t that strong anyways, that’s why I didn’t want to waste my time killing them. Well…. At least not at the moment.”

“Shut the hell up!” Rainbow snapped. Okay Rainbow, calm down… don’t let this idiot play mind games with you. This guy has successfully dodged every single one of my attacks, I don’t know how he is so fast. But there is one thing he didn’t plan on, my sonic rainboom!

Rainbow Dash had a big smile on her face. The doppelganger was intrigued by this mood swing, it was wondering why she went from being completely frustrated to all cool and composed.

“So you got something up your sleeve do yah?” It asked.

“yuup! And trust me; you won’t be dodging this attack!”

“Well alrighty then Dashy. Show me what you got!”

With one big dash, she leaped into the air and began flying upward as fast as she could. The doppelganger was wondering what in the world she could possibly be doing. When Rainbow reached a high enough altitude she began to plummet down towards the doppelganger. Fluttershy knew instantly what Rainbow was going to do and flew away to a safe place to hide. The doppelganger was starting to worry, was this new attack so powerful that even the other Pegasus had to fly away into safety? Rainbow gained more and more speed as she descended back to the ground. She was becoming so fast that even the doppelganger could feel the pressure of her coming back down. He was puzzled at what kind of attack this could be. Rainbow was finally ready to unleash her ultimate attack, she finally gained enough speed and it was time to show the fake mare what it was made of.

“You ready for this you fake bastard? Here I come!”

Rainbow made her final dive down, slamming into the ground right next to the mare and a gigantic rainbow colored sonic boom appeared covering almost a 20 mile radius. Rainbow Dash was trying to catch her breath.

“Wooo! Now that’s how it’s done!”

She began to dance in victory, but she stopped to notice something strange standing in front of her. It was a creature like no other; she had no idea what this strange being could possibly be.
The creature was standing on two legs alone, not four. And its body was slim and stood up straight. It also had two arms, but of course Rainbow Dash didn’t know what those where, because ponies don’t have arms. And its head and visage was shaped differently than ponies. It also didn’t have a main, but a full head of smooth black hair. It was also wearing a fancy suit and black dress pants.

“What’s wrong pony? Never seen a human before?”

Rainbow Dash was dumbfounded at the creature standing in front of her.

“What the heck is a human?”

“This form that I stand before you in is what a human is. At least the male variety. I told you we doppelgangers travel through many worlds didn’t I? And the Human world just so happened to be one of those places I visited.”

Rainbow Dash was still perplexed by one thing, why didn’t her sonic rainboom work? Even if the doppelganger was one of these strange human things the rainboom still should have damaged him severely.

“You’re wondering why your attack didn’t work aren’t you?” The doppelganger gave off a slight laugh under his breath. Suddenly a big round force field surrounded the so called human.

“Protection magic from your world of course. Now that attack was very strong don’t get me wrong, and it would have damaged me quite horribly…. If I wasn’t in my human form that is.”

“What does that got to do with anything? So what if your some weird… human thing now, my attack should have finished you! And what was the point in changing forms anyways? That protection magic is from our world, it would have worked the same if you were still a mare.”

“Actually you’re very wrong about that Dashy; you see humans aren’t weak creatures. They are greedy, conniving, selfish, and cowardly, but weak is defiantly not one of their attributes. Humans have an unlimited potential that no other race from any other world has! And when a human unlocks that potential inside of them, they amplify it and are virtually unstoppable. So sense I am a human now, and I have already discovered my unlimited potential, and I can use the powers I copied from this world and amplify them tenfold!”

Rainbow Dash became frightened by this realization. If all what the doppelganger said was true, then none of her attacks, not even the sonic rainboom, can do anything to it. And she began to consider the possibility that the other 2 doppelgangers that this one talked about have human forms as well. If they do, that means her friends are in grave danger. Rainbow began to feel very uneasy by this thought; she gulped, thinking of how much trouble her friends were in. Rainbow wanted to go and help her friends but she couldn’t do anything to this one doppelganger, so how was she supposed to help her friends?

“What’s wrong little pony?” The doppelganger asked ironically. He felt really cocky; he knew the pony couldn’t do anything to hurt him anymore. There was nothing that could stand in his way anymore; at least that’s what he felt. He let out a loud laughter, he felt so accomplished.

“Now Dashy, hows about giving me that element?” Rainbow Dash was shaking, she couldn’t move. It was one of the only times in her life where she truly felt fear. But it wasn’t like Rainbow Dash to give up so easily, even though she was frightened she still stood her ground, she would continue fighting, for everyone.

“You know you’re pretty brave for a mere pony, I like you.”

The doppelganger gave off a creepy smile, he was so giddy. He truly loved his human form, he felt so invincible with it. Rainbow still stood bravely, anticipating his next attack. The doppelganger seemed to disappear, Rainbow was very confused, and she was looking around to where he could have gone. But then she heard a voice behind her, a voice that sent a shiver down her spine.

“Behind you Dashy!” The Doppelganger was right behind her! As soon as Rainbow turned around he kicked her right in the stomach sending her flying back a few feet! Rainbow was huffing for air; the Doppelganger kicked all the breath out of her. But he didn’t give her time to rest; he dashed at her and kept pummeling her over and over again. He kept laughing and laughing as he beat her.

“You know Dashy? I quite enjoy beating the living hell out of you! Hahahhaaha! I never knew beating magical creatures was such fun!”

Rainbow Dash was beaten and worn out, she couldn’t move a single inch anymore. The doppelganger smiled in triumph. He placed his hand over Rainbow, and an aura excreted from his palm. He was copying her element. The doppelganger had finally obtained all 6 elements of harmony. The doppelganger grew a very dark pair of wings. The wings were the blackest of black, if one were to gaze upon them; it would almost seem like looking into a void itself. In a way they were beautiful and yet… disturbing.

“ha… haha… I did it… I FINALLY DID IT. I obtained the six elements of harmony! Hahahahahaha! Now nothing can stop me, not even God himself! HAHAHAHAHA"

….

Equestria…. And many other worlds are in danger now. What of the other warriors who are battling off the other doppelgangers?
The battle has only begun
