This story is a sequel to The Broken and the Damned
A mysterious magic surge has been discovered just off the coast of Creui. Praetor Rainbow Dash is apart of the contingent sent to investigate, only to be caught in it.
At the same time, Luster Dawn has returned to Canterlot for her first Grand Galloping Gala since heading to Ponyville. While there, she demonstrates a spell that she found in the archive of the Princesses old castle.
Said spell may create a situation that neither is properly prepared for, nor even want. However, it may just be what they need...
Chapters (12)
A very good start, I'm looking forward to more.
Wow, interdimensional travel duplicates!
Well, this'll be interesting, to say the least.
Looking forward to more cross-dimensional shenanigans.
Great chapter!
If you don’t mind me asking, when will we expect new chapters to come out?
So, Our Praetor Rainbow Dash from The Broken and the Damn meets her Canon Show Counterpart that Still has her Friends??!!
OH BOY!!!!
They are gonna be So Traumatized and Heartbroken over our Rainbow's F***** Up Life. Especially NOT Forgiving Most of her Friends. And the Missing Limbs and the Torture/Rape Part!!!!

Traumatized
I have read this and though I have read your other story. I have a feeling I will enjoy this story more then your other. Even if to exist you had to write the other.
Im curious will you tackle, luster dawn, at all?
After all its still a unicorn, not a changeling, earth pony, or a....pegasus? Im just throwing ideas? What do you think?
Ps. This something that might be interesting from a narrative point of view, Celestia of the other world meets this worlds Celestia?
Pps. You will include that moment with Dashes hero worship and Mare Do Well? The way they tore her down after she had saved people and then instead of coming to her...
Further well I was going to suggest more. But I realized I have said enough. If your curious I do have some more ideas. Any way I just want to say thank you for this chapter and have nice afternoon.

Thanks. I have some Stupid "Spelling Correcting" thing in my Tablet that keeps giving me some wrong misspelling.
I'm curious, is this canon to Youngblood?
10672318
Sorry it took so long to respond, and yes.
Great chapter!
Is Praetor Dash going to them all about how her life changed. Is she also going to see Celestia, as well as Chrysalis’ imprisoned statue?
Oomph, I can just imagine the Praetor shout/screaming "I'M A FILLYFOOLER?!?!" To the world with Dash and Applejack laughing their tails off.
10689204
I don't think they should laugh. Because, remember that Praetor Rainbow Dash still has some Bad Blood with her Applejack.
10689204 That makes two of us, but I have the sense it would be because her counterpart is with (read: married to) a mare that Praetor Dash hates, due to AJ (and the others') betrayal in the original main story.
10689209 A very good point, that.
Great chapter!
TwiDash is my preferred ship.
Is Praetor Dash going to meet Pinkie next chapter?
Paperwork, the bane of any sentiant creature.
I hope the Praetor meets this world's Wonder Bolts, and does an unofficial inspection of them when she does
10689242
1. Thanks.
2. This is based on the finale subtext. In terms of non-straight Rainbow Dash ships, I do prefer Twi-Dash
3. You'll see.
10689248
Can't say I was a fan of the sorta-official-but-not-really Appledash ship. Felt shoehorned, that and Rarijack is the OTP of course.
10689273
Again, neither do I. Also again, I'm just basing it on Finale Subtext.
10689277
Yeah, understand that. In cases like this you work with what you're given.
Still poor writing on the showrunner's part IMO.
Great chapter!
Great chapter!
Is Starlight going to question about what happened to the Starlight of Praetor Dash’s world?
reminder, what did Pinkie do to be so hated?
She needs to remember this is not her Pinkie Pie. This is another Pinkie Pie one that never abandoned her.
Oh, I enjoyed it.
10711048
True. But still. When will they eventually hear the Full story? Or that Praetor Rainbow Dash HATES the Mane Four, and only forgives Twilight and Shining Armor somewhat. Or that she snaps some sense to a coward version of Celestia.
Should we be concerned about that? Or the ruin is just something else, and NOT the Friendship School being destroyed?
I kinda doubt that. Because, the story is pretty darker. So, hope Twilight is fine somewhat.
For One. Starlight killed over 20 SOLDIERS in a attempt escape?? At least she deserved to be executed! And two, Twilight should listen to Praetor Rainbow Dash. I mean, why does Twilight want to know everything? Especially the ones like the Deadly Execution Methods that will scar you mentality?!
Plus, it will be a matter of time. Before Praetor Rainbow Dash will finally tell them all her true story, or that she still hates the Mane Four ( Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy. Excluding Twilight.).
10720014
1. Ruin is something else, don't worry.
2. I mean, it did turn out ok for Twilight.
3. Yeah... Pikeverse Starlight wasn't visited by the Mane 6, and so only really had more time to fall into her own mindset. She just got more... extreme in her views. As for the other thing... just Twilight being Twilight. I mean, she doesn't know what it is.
10720023
Okay. But, Praetor Rainbow Dash could at least give a hint that it was another type of Execution. Just so Twilight wouldn't press on any further.
Daaaamn, Pikeverse Trixie deserves a medal for that, what a trooper.
Great chapter!
Is Applejack going to ask Praetor Dash questions about her world’s version of Applejack or who she’s married to, if the Praetor knows about her marriage that is?
10720102
Oh! Bad idea! Because, we all know that Praetor Rainbow Dash STILL hates her version of Applejack, and the other Mane Four ( Excluding Twilight). So, she will mistakenly piss Praetor RD off.
Um, if I may ask, how dark is The Broken and the Damned? Can I still enjoy this fic down the line without reading that?
10720211
It has it’s darker moments especially in the first third of the story but overall it’s not to fallout equestria levels of dark with the possible exception of 3 chapters towards the middle.
about your author's note, the only time we saw new pony parents in the show they had twins, The Cakes
Great chapter!
Phyrans enjoy grapes, olives, and pears while eating reclined on couches like civilized people.
Great chapter!
Is there going to be more chapters of Praetor Dash drilling guards?
when is she going to meet Pharynx/Thorax? i kind of hope she didn't try attacking Smolder and Occellus on sight
That... could've been worse.
Wow grudge much, so she won't reconcile with the other mane 5 in her universe? Harsh
Great chapter!
They’re going to get more curious now.
10764494
Why should she'll "forgive" them? They got NO EXCUSE, unlike Twilight, and maybe Shining Armor.
Didn't you remember of what happened in the previous story. And Praetor Rainbow Dash made some good points on NOT giving them a chance for forgiveness.
10764510
They won't like the truth, and be more tramitazed by the Praetor Rainbow Dash's True Story.
10764532
fair, but then again these aren't HER exfriends. They didn't do anything to her.. specifically speaking. Honestly speaking how did she not spot Chrysalis's statue yet? or smashed it to pieces.
10764576
We do see that she keeps reminding herself that these Versions of the Mane Four aren't the same Ponies. Alternate Universe/Reality and all of that. As for not seeing Chrysalis stone prison or even killing her? I don't know either?!
Hope the Author can answers us.
10764593
10764576
She did see the Statue. Quote from Chapter 2:
10764951
Oh! Forgot about that part. I'm surprised that she didn't try to destroy Chrysalis stone body?! Then again, this is still not her Chrysalis in her world. Right?
Great chapter!
