//------------------------------// // The Rebels // Story: Winter Song Diaries: Kira's Lost World // by Sea Pony //------------------------------// Inside of the car I saw that Rainbow Dash wasn’t alone. Beside her was the famou DJ PON3 or more know in Ponyville as Vinyl Scratch. The difference from the one I knew was that like Rainbow Dash she was an Earth Pony instead of being a Unicorn. Dash put a hoof on a small light blue square made of glass before the screen lit up and the words ‘welcome Rainbow Dash’ where the first thing to appear before the vehicule made a strange noise and a detailled map of the city show up in the screen. Two metalics wings appear on each side of the vehicule before a huge blast of magic was heard from behind, throwing us to an extremely high speed in the sky. ``AHHHHHH!`` Me, Applejack and Fluttershy all scream in panic. I don’t know how but Twilight was still unconsious. ``Oh calm down you pussies we’re just flying!`` Vinyl said snickering at us once the turbulence calm down. ``I like to fly just as the next Pegasus but that was insane!`` The two ponies look at me strangely. ``You do know Pegasi are only myths right?`` Rainbow Dash ask unsure if I was sane or not. Pegasi myths yeah right the next thing she will tell me that the planet is turning around the sun instead of being controled by magic, as if that was possible. I extanded my wings in response, ``And how do you explain I have wings if my race is apparently a myth?`` ``Well you’re probably a changeling they are the only magic user apart form the draconesuses, they can also change of form at their will making feathery wings wouldn’t be so difficult for any of them.`` Vinyl respond with a shrug. Now that I think of it, a lot of ponies called us changelings when they saw us maybe this is a world where Pegasi doesn’t exist? I don’t think it’s only the Pegasus race they don’t seem to have Unicorns either. So maybe they only have Earth ponies? But why would they hate magic? Even if most of them don’t use it on a regular basic like the other races. Earth Ponies does have magic like the other ponies races. ``Oh shit!`` Dash sudently cried. ``Hang on, guys the pigs are here!`` The pigs, what sort of expression is this? I heard the blarring of sirens of other flying vehicules behind us. The boxes with wheels all stop in mid-air and formed a circle around us. ``Miss Vinyl Scratch and Rainbow Dash! If you give yourself to the law we might consider letting you two alive for rebelling against the kingdom of Trotana! So please land on the street and let us do our jobs!`` The overbearing voice of Octavia said in a loud microphone. Vinyl looked at Rainbow they both smirk at each other before they nod into an understanding. Applejack who had stay silent since then voiced her dread. ``Don’t y’all make something reckless!`` They didn’t answer instead Vinyl got into the menu of the small screen from earlier. I couldn’t tell what she made, but I was answered soon enough. ``Miss Vinyl what are you doing?! And what is that thing?`` Octavia ask from her vehicule as she saw a huge blue stereo rising from the car trunk. Vinyl smirk madly as she respond. ``Oh it’s nothing special miss Octavia. It’s just my motherfuckin’ base cannon!`` She said before slamming her hoof on the screen. Soon enough a loud repetetive music blared through the back of the vehicule. At the same time a large beam erupt from the back of our flying box directly hitting Octavia’s vehicule. The car came crashing down on the street. A few seconds later the grey mare got out of the car with only a scratch on her leg which was enough to made her cringe in pain. But that was only one of the aspect that this ‘base cannon’ did. It’s also made us go to a insane speed even more than when we first flew in the machine. Rainbow Dash was expertly driving the box between the various building as if she had drive at this speed dozens of time before. Quickly an invisible cone began to form itself around the machine before a loud boom was heard in the entire city of Everfree. The two insane mares hoof-bumped each other as they broke the sound barrier. Mom was panicking of the speed we were going and aunt Applejack didn’t do better either. And against all odds Twilight was still sleeping. Soon the two mad mares slow down and land in front of a small apartement. ``Here we are home sweet home. Not much but it should be safe for you four to stay the night.`` Rainbow said confidently. ``Won’t Octavia and the other guards know where you live?`` Mom ask worriedly. ``Of course they know. But they wouldn’t dare come here, it’s the territory of Chrysalis they would be insane to come here for us.`` ``Chrysalis Queen of the changeling? Is she some sort of mafia around here or something?`` Applejack ask suspiciously, which result on both of our crazy saviors in bursting laughing. ``Did you live under a rock or something? Chrysalis is the leader of the rebelion. After the disapearance of Celestia and Luna and the coronation of Sunset Shimmer a lot of ponies wanted our beloved princesses back and tried to find out what happen. The ones who had dig into it too far where declared rebels like me and Vinyl. It’s seem like we would all soon die for finding a bit of true. We moved place to place around Trotana. Sunset Shimmer only killing more of us as the months pass. That when the changelings appear we all through they were extinc from the great magic war but they were still here not in the best of condition through. Chrysalis offered to all the rebels a way to fight back and a place to finally call home where we could be safe. I would tell you more but you’re all strangers I don’t think outsider should know too much about us.`` Rainbow Dash finish. We all nod mutely, I wanted to know more but she seem to be our best way to survive so I don’t want to anger her. The two ponies help us inside of their home for a while, waiting for Twilight to recover. Once she’s awake we would begin our search for the god of this mess up world. - - - - - - A few hours ago Rarity and her two friends scream, while her and Rainbow seem to scream in horror because of the magic bubble who would soon crash and kill them all. Pinkie seem to scream in joy as if she was simply in one of the many attractions of a fair. The giant buble of magic crash in a lake in the middle of a little park situated in the middle of the city. Rarity gasp in horror as soon as she crawl outside of the water. ``Oh no! My perfect mane! Absolutely ruined by this filthy water!`` She cried overdramatically. Dash rolled her eyes at the display while Pinkie slimply hum a tune, as if she hadn’t just escape a life or death situation. ``Where the hay are we?`` The rainbow maned Pegasus ask confused by the flying boxes in the sky and the overly talls buildings. ``I don’t know but this sure look like the human world. Oh! Do you think we will see bronies?!`` The pink mare ask excitedly. ``Calm down Pinkie. Even if it look like the human world there hundred of worlds who look the same. And I hope we’re not in a world full of bronies. As much as I liked Dream in the past, some of them are a little weird if not down right creepy.`` Rarity shuddered living in a world where the multiverse is a common thing. She met her fair share of her ‘fans’. Some of them where true gentlecolts but other look at her as if she was a sort of goddess or something and some where down right rude and want nothing else than a piece of her tail. Rarity usually like the attention but this was a little too much. They were interupted in their investigation of the city by a very familiar mare. ``Rarity? Pinkie? What the hay doing with this traitor?!`` Applejack accusely pointed a hoof at Rainbow Dash. ``Traitor? What does it mean it sound like a fun word! And it’s rhyme with raptor!`` The pink mare giggle. On her side Dash looked clearly offended by the accusation. ``Now Applejack why in the wide Equestria would you accused Dash of all ponies of being a traitor? And beside how could you come here so quickly after the accident?`` ``Accident? Equestria? What the hay are ya talking about sugarcube? Ah had no accident at all ah had a perfect normal day and ah was going to do mah little walk in the park like ah do each day when ah saw y’all with Dash. Ya know if Princess Sunset Shimmer hear ya are friend with a rebel she could throw y’all in the dungeon.`` ``P-princess Sunset Shimmer?`` Rarity could tell there was clearly something wrong with this Applejack but she had no time to ponder when she heard a gasp from the cowgirl. ``Rarity ya have a horn! Don’t tell me ya join the changeling hive! Ah can’t believe it Dash, it wasn’t enough you betray Trotana ya had to take our friends with ya too eh?!`` Rainbow Dash had enough of Applejack antics and was going to charge at her but she was stop by a magical aura. ``You two stop bickering like two fillies! Now Applejack I know this will be hard to believe, but if my theory is correct we are not the ponies you know.`` Applejack took a second let this new sink in before she developed a scowl. ``So y’all are changeling! Ah should have know. Ya darn shapeshifter have no right to take the appearance of my friends!`` ``But we’re your friend silly filly!`` Pinkie said. ``No we’re not Pinkie, not right now anyway.`` Rarity replied. ``Awww.`` ``Applejack believe us we are not changelings if we could simply explain ourself.`` Applejack look at the blue begging eyes of Rarity before she let out a defeated sigh. ``Fine ya can explain yerself but ah make no promise ah will help y’all`` Rarity nod with a grateful smile. Pinkie was still depressed from not being friend with Applejack and Rainbow simply glared at the apple mare. ``Well okay it’s go like this two years ago Discord the spirit of disharmony came back in Equestria our homeland and then... ... ... ... ``So ya expect me to believe y’all come from a world where Pegasi and Unicorns are not myth but real beings. And that any living being need magic to live and is a thing that can do a lot of good instead of only being a thing to hurt ponies?`` Rarity nodded nervousely at Applejack question. ``Ah can’t believe ah do this but ah will help y’all`` Pinkie Pie made a whoop in the air before she put Applejack in a bone-crushing hug. ``Whoo! Does that mean you believe us?!`` She ask with a giant grin. ``Am not sure if ah believe y’all just yet but ah would feel bad if ah didn’t help if all ya said was true.`` ``So Applejack I don’t want to be rude be we’re a little lost and confused here.`` ``I’m not!`` Dash said proudly. ``Well we are almost all lost and confused so could you be so kind of telling us where we are?`` The fashionesta tried to hide her annoyance with the Pegasus. ``Well this world is called Equus. We’re in Trotana a proud county of Earth Ponies like myself. Y’all are curently in the Everfree city the capitol of Trotana. It’s was a peaceful place to live fer centuries since the end of the magic war. But then Celestia and Luna disapear and suddenly Queen Chrysalis formed a rebellion with the ponies who want Sunset Shimmer out of the throne, way too conveniant to be the hasard if you ask me.`` ``Yeah, yeah Queen Chrysalis is a big jerk and all that. What I want to know is where is the guardian of this world so we can go home!`` Rarity glare at the lack of class from Dash. But she had to admit she wanted some response about the guardian too. ``Ya mean the old Helios? Am not sure the last time we saw him was in the great magic war after peace return nopony heard of him. A lot of ponies believe he’s just a myth to make our ennemies afraid of us but ah believe he’s out there looking for us.`` ‘Well that a nice through Applejack but that’s not exactly helping us.’ Rarity silently through to herself. The ears on the cowgirls perk up as the sound of an alarm resonated in the whole city. ``Oh no! The curfew will begin in a few hours! Come on y’all you can stay with me t’ill morning, the guards will search everywhere during the night in search of rebels and if they see any of you with a horn or wings they will assume y’all are changelings.`` Dash was about to protest that she didn’t need to be protected but Rarity was quick to put a hoof on her mouth. ``We’re grateful darling, if we can ever repay you for your kindness tell us.`` Applejack smile for a second before she ran in direction of her home the three mares where quick to follow behind.
