The group continued their epic journey.
"There it is!" Twilight exclaimed. "The ruin that holds the Elements of Harmony!"
"I think this calls for a singalong!" Joey exclaimed. "SpongePants SquareBob, he's a friendly little guy.... Hey Krillin, the bridge is out."
"Wha-AHHHHH" Krillin screamed as he fell off a very, very, VERY high cliff. He hit the ground, and for absolutely no reason an explosion occured.
Krillin Owned Count: 12
"I'll get him." Dash said. She flew down to the bottom of the cliff and helped Krillin onto her back. "What's with you and falling off cliffs today?" She asked.
"I think the question is what's with me and getting hurt period." Krillin muttered. Soon Dash and Krillin were at the top of the cliffside.
"Now what?" Achmed asked. Rainbow looked at him with a smile.
"Um...duh." She said, flapping her wings.
"How dare you duh me! I KEEL YOU!" Achmed snapped as Rainbow flew down, grabbed the rope and flew to the other side.
"Rainbow..." A voice said quietly.
"Who's there?!" Rainbow said in alarm.
"Rainbow..."
"I ain't scared of you!" Rainbow said as she stood on her hind legs and punched the air. "Show yourself!"
"We've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the best flyer in Equestria." The voice said.
"Who?" Rainbow asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Why you, of course!" The voice replied.
"Really?!" Rainbow said excitedly. "I mean uh... yeah! Me! Uh... you wouldn't mind telling the Wonderbolts that, would ya? Cause I've been trying to get into that group for like, ever!"
"No, Rainbow Dash... we want you to join us! The Shadowbolts!" Three blue ponies wearing black and purple suits with lightning patterns emerged from the mist that I didn't mention until now. Rainbow Dash looked at them with a raised eyebrow. "We are the greatest flying team in the Everfree Forest. And soon we will be the greatest in all of Equestria. But first... we need a captain." Rainbow's eyes widened as she grinned with delight. "The most magnificent..."
"Yep!" Dash said.
"Swiftest..."
"Yes!"
"Bravest flyer in all the land."
"Yes! It's all true!" Dash said.
"We need... you."
"Woo-hoo!" Dash said, flying. "Sign me up!" She flew back towards the bridge. "Just let me tie this bridge real quick and then we have a deal."
"NO!" The Shadowbolt got right in her face. "It's them or us."
"Um... why?" Rainbow asked.
"What do you mean why?" The Shadowbolt said in annoyance.
"I mean it would take me like three seconds to tie this bridge. I don't see why..."
"Just make your decision." The Shadowbolt snapped.
"Yo Dash!" Joey's voice sounded from the other side of the bridge. "What's takin ya so long? Are you making a hard decision between your friends and your lifelong dream? Cause if you are..." The Shadowbolt glared at Joey, causing the mist to completely hide the rest of the group from view. Joey turned around and crossed his arms. "Well I WAS gonna tell her to do what she though was right in an extremely out of character fashion, but now forget it!"
"Well?" The Shadowbolt said. Dash frowned, closed her eyes, then looked at the Shadowbolt with her eyes narrowed.
"You." Dash said. The Shadowbolt grinned evilly. Then Dash flew close to her. "Thank you... for the offer." The Shadowbolts looked shocked as Rainbow tied the bridge. "But I'm afraid I have to say no." And with that, she flew off to the other side. The Shadowbolts scowled, and the middle one turned back into its original form: a young, green skinned girl with pigtails and a red dress. The other two were robots made by Fawful. Suddenly, Dimentio appeared again.
"You failed too I see, Mimi?" He said.
"Hmph! She wouldn't know a good offer if it hit her in the face with a baseball bat!" Mimi snapped.
"Well we must now make our leave." Dimentio said. He snapped his fingers, and they all disappeared.
Meanwhile, Rainbow got back to the other side of the bridge. Everyone cheered, and they all crossed the bridge.
"Way to do the right thing, Dash!" Joey said.
"You know it!" Dash said proudly. "I'd never leave my friends hangin!" Twilight smiled.
