//------------------------------// // Powers // Story: The Adventures of The Dash // by Silver Inkwell //------------------------------// When Rainbow Dash finally woke up (again) she saw that she was in the labs (again). “Well hey there,” Soarin said with a smile on his face, “I’m sure glad that we brought you in here after we found you sleeping on the pavement out there, I mean can you imagine what could possibly happen to you if we actually decided to leave you out there? I can, but I won’t say what I imagine either exactly, so you’ll just have to live with me, Soarin, the man of mystery.” “Soarin, please knock that off already,” said groaning at his very immature behavior that he was now displaying right in front of their guest. “Enough you two,” Lightning Dust suddenly said coming between them. “Enough of your pointless bickering, it is time to explain what happened to her exactly,” she said walking over to her bed very slowly and waited in silence. “What did happen to me on that night exactly?” Rainbow Dash said. “I’m glad that you asked, you see on that night the particle accelerator let off a huge big wave of energy, and it hit everyone, but it seems like that this wave is giving you some unique individual powers, but as for me, well it gave me this cane,” she said holding it up for her to see, “I never could walk well enough again without this or my medication, but I eventually learned to live with it.” “What kind of powers did it give me exactly?” Rainbow Dash said. “That’s exactly what we were hoping to know with our tests that we were going to run on you before you decided to go off and see your friends and family first instead of trying to be logical and reasonable and agreeing to a few tests.” “Hey, you can’t blame me for wanting to do that,” she said. “I’m not blaming anyone, I am just merely stating something plain and obvious, but come now, I think that we have a few tests to run on you Miss Dash.” “Alright, fine then, run your tests if you will, what do I care anyways?” And with that said Lightning Dust slowly smiled very deviously and then said, “Very well then, as you wish Miss Dash, let us begin right away then.” And that was why she found herself on a very long runway wearing a red suit. “It looks good on you,” Soarin said trying to reassure her about the silly suit. “Look I have cyan skin and rainbow hair as well too, trust me if there is any color that doesn’t work well with me it’s red, basically red does not look good on me, do you get what I am saying?” Rainbow Dash said mildly angry at him. “Well at least you should be running so fast that no one should see how truly ridiculous you really are,” Soarin said with a goofy grin on his face now. “Oh shut up,” she said as she prepared herself to start running now. And with that said Soarin and Spitfire were finally ready for her now and then Lightning Dust spoke up, “Run Rainbow Dash, run.” And with that said Rainbow Dash started to run and then back where they recording her they were all very quickly surprised and shocked. “She just passed 200 miles,” Soarin said looking at the data points. “That’s impossible,” Spitfire said looking his shoulder at the very same data. “Oh Miss Spitfire, I can reassure you that this is very possible.” And with that said they watched as she ran far away from then even past the distance where they could see her, but soon enough she came back around again, “Wow,” she said, “That was totally amazing and awesome, I mean did you see that?” she said gesturing back to where she had just run on. “Yes, we all saw it Miss Dash, and we know that it probably is what you say it is, but that opinion is to be debated much later of course,” Lightning said. “Well whatever, you all know that was cool, right?” she said to Soarin. “Yeah, totally,” he said holding his fist out for her to bump, and she did so. “It does not matter what you think about it, what matters is that Miss Dash now has powers which could help her to improve society and the whole entire world, but of course how she is to use her new powers is up to her of course. But it would be my high advice that she should stay with us for now until we can fully figure out to what range and limits that her powers might extend to.” And with that said Rainbow Dash nodded, “Yeah, that sounds good I guess.” And with that said it was settled, and so it was that Rainbow Dash now had finally found a new family, or rather she started to at least, and now she also had new powers, one that enabled her to run at incredible speeds, ones that were super amazing and awesome, ones that were very hard to believe. But that’s what you have to do if you’re going to continue reading this story, basically you’re going to have to believe in the impossible, can you do that? Good then, now let us continue onwards with the story then.
