//------------------------------// // Finding the Necklace // Story: A Pegasus' Past // by Hazel_Hester777 //------------------------------// “And don’t you ever do that again, or it will be your last!” Poison Rose shouted as Iron Will and his goat bodyguards ran away, all bruised and practically traumatized. The mare chuckled to herself. When she glanced at her cutie mark, her day got even better; the antennae on the mark completely faded. It won’t be long now, she thought to herself. Soon, my sister can finally find peace and I can show that the last member of our bloodline is not to be messed with. After all, I have the most potent ingredient needed to make me go away. She was about to fly away again, but… “This is what you get for beating me up!” somepony yelled. Before Poison Rose could react, Rainbow Dash struck her with a little lightning. Poison Rose felt it surge through her body; the pain, the energy, even the memory in which she was merged with her sister. She was hurt a lot, but she didn’t die. “Rainbow, I said to use it when I perform the spell, not before! You better hope she’s still alive or we lose Fluttershy too! I told you to get the necklace!” Bunny yelled. “Speaking of which, is she okay?” Twilight asked frantically. Poison rose shook it off. “I’M BETTER THAN OKAY!” she yelled. Spike’s jaw dropped. “How…how did you survive that?!” “I’ve been electrocuted with lightning once; it doesn’t work on me now!” “Maybe if its plain lighting, but I know what type you are afraid of” Bunny smirked. Poison Rose smirked back; she loved a good challenge. She waved the necklace on her neck. “Do you want it? Come and get it!” “Get her, Rainbow!” Dash didn’t wait for another word; she began to fly after Poison Rose. She thought she could get her within a split second; after all, she is the fastest flier. And she flew fast enough to make the Sonic Rainboom, so how much faster or harder will it be to catch an ordinary Pegasus that only began to fly again after nearly two decades? But just when she was within range, Poison Rose flew even faster. Rainbow was slightly dazed, but she shook it off since she didn’t back down. She kept trying to catch up with her; but every time she did, Poison Rose found a way to sprint even faster. She guessed that maybe she was flying in Fluttershy’s head, so when she took control, she became so built up on so much power. Especially since Fluttershy is a Pegasus afraid of heights, so she’s using all of her sister’s reserves. Eventually, Rainbow was flying so fast that she made a Sonic Rainboom. Bunny, Twilight and Spike had to cling onto the ground in order to avoid getting swept away. Poison Rose, of course, wasn’t so lucky for being in the air at that time. Even though she was strong at flying, she was still helpless when the boom caused her to slam herself into a tree. Poison Rose was still active, and very angry now. She was now planning on making things worse by breaking the necklace, atleast that will make sure she has Fluttershy’s body for good. She reached up to her neck, but to her surprise she didn’t feel it. “Hey, Rose! Looking for this?” Poison Rose turned her head around. The necklace was with Rainbow Dash, waved like some sort of toy. Rainbow then flew to Bunny, and dropped the ornament in Bunny’s paw. The mare could only look on in horror. “Well, Rose, now that we’ve got your weakness, it’s time for you to go” The mare wasn’t done yet, she flew away faster than before into the nearby trees. Spike looked up at the sky. “It’s getting late; we have to hurry”
