It was a nice, peaceful day in Ponyville. I had just finished with my weather job for the day and planned on checking out some of the armor at the Crystal Empire. I just looked so awesome wearing it that I just HAD to get myself a set. I boarded the train since I don't use maps. You can't always rely on them whenever you get lost. Anyways, the conductor asked me for my ticket, so I handed it to him. I was then allowed to board the train, and took a seat in the back of the second car.
"Okay. Twilight said that one set of steel crystal armor costs 500 bits at the least. 1,000 bits for a high grade, premium set," I muttered to myself. "Let's see how much I've got. 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1,000. SWEET! Premium crystal armor, here I come!" I yelled while flying up and out of my seat, nearly hitting the roof." Everypony started looking at me like I was crazy.
"Sorry," I whispered as I lowerwd myself back down to my seat. They all just went back to whatever they were doing. I decided to just sleep until we got there, but somepony came by and sat across from me. It appeared to be a stallion with beige fur. He didn't seem to have big muscles, but why I looked at that was because he was a unicorn. Now why would a unicorn need muscles when they can just use their fancy magic? Anyways, his mane and tail were orange-ish. His eyes were blue-greenish, although I couldn't really tell if they were or not.
"Hello!" He said in a very deep voice. "My name's Popo. What's yours?"
"My name's Rainbow Dash. I'm the fastest flyer in ALL of Equestria," I bragged.
"So, you heading to the crystal empire?" He asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"Follow me."
"Okay then," I said, my suspicion being quite obvious. He led me through a few of the carts, all the way to the back of the train. I knew he was hiding something. I didn't say anything, though. I didn't want to lose my bits, which may be what he's after.
"Master thought it'd be harder to bring in Rainbow Dash," he muttered to himself, barely audible. "YOU'RE MINE!!!" He shouted, jumping into me and taking me over. That's when I blacked out, but not before realizing that this is only the start. I also noticed that he wanted to kill someone.
