//------------------------------// // The Big Ben Boom // Story: Ponies Destroy Iconic Landmarks // by gamerboy111 //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash was flying through Great Britain, trying to get to Italy. More specifically, Pisa and Rome. As she flew through the city of London, she smiled. What a beautiful city this is. She then heard a loud sound. It was a loud bell, echoing throughout London. The sound distracted her, and she accidentally hit one of her wings into the other. She fell down and hit the London Eye, which cracked off the ground and rolled away, right through London. And it didn't stop until it was out of view. The humans below stared at her. "Aw. I was next in line." Another huge sound hurt Rainbow's ears. This time a bong. She wobbled before she landed on Westminster bridge. She skidded along before gently landing at the bottom of a London bus. She looked around to see what made the sound, and spotted Big Ben. The beautiful clock tower had a triangle roof, lots of spiked around it, and was very large. It was wonderful, and awesome piece of engineering. And it had to go. The humans followed her glaze, and froze in fear as they saw her looking at Big Ben. Rainbow got up and started flying towards Big Ben, just a few inches off the ground. And finally somebody reacted. "Aaaaaaaaand, she's going for Big Ben. Of course." He said. "We should stop her right?" Someone asked. But before anyone could respond, somebody burst through the crowd and started running towards Rainbow. "NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE!" He screamed as he ran towards Rainbow. "YOUR NOT GETTING THIS ONE!" He jumped and flipped over a car, before landing and rolling underneath a London bus. He grabbed a pole and swirled around before rolling and running towards Rainbow. "FOR HUMANITY!" And then Rainbow destroyed Big Ben. It bonged it's final bong before the entire thing caved in on it's self, smashing to pieces. Rainbow smiled at her handywork and flew up into the sky. "Your welcome hoo-mans! I just saved you from having your ear drums destroyed! This is a very distracting clock, you know." She flew away. Nobody tried to stop her. They just stared. And a few facepalmed. The guy who tried to save Big Ben looked at the ruins of Big Ben, and at Rainbow, before looking back again. "Of course." He shrugged his shoulders. "Well look on the bright side. It couldn't get any worse!" And then the London Eye ran him over.
