To satisfy her need for speed, Rainbow Dash sneaks out of her home at night to ride her motorcycle through the empty streets outside Canterlot City. At one night an impossibly fast truck overtakes her, leaving her confused but determined to beat that truck whatever it takes.
However, this won't be the only strange thing she encounters after that, and soon she'll find out that Equestrian magic isn't the only "paranormal" thing—and that everything unnatural is usually contained by someone.
This story is part of the A New Empathy-series and so New in Canterlot City is technically a prequel, but this fic can be read on it's own, as only a few elements of the prequel will be mentioned.
The SCP-Foundation is a growing community project made by various users around the globe. The main SCP in the chapters is credited in the author's note.
Huge thanks to RB_ for proofreading this story!
Haha, get wrecked nerd! Nah, this was a great fic and made me miss riding my motorcycle. Also I’m assuming that the truck overtakes her on a straight away because a motorcycle has an easier time maintaining high speeds around corners, as well as, accelerating out of them. Plus damn, Rainbow has some really solid friends that would help her do all of her jobs, friendship really is magic!

Based on the original work the truck "accelerates or decelerates at rates that would ordinarily result in significant structural damage". So the truck even accelerates faster. It probably wouldn't overtake her in a sharp curve because it would make an accident more possible.
And yeah, friendship is truly magic, you hit the nail on its head
Thanks for the comment
I actually heard of the SCP Night Hauler by Dr. Bob.
11343508
Found the SCP through him. Definitely a youtuber to recommend!

Already a subscriber long ago.
SCP 3899 LETS FRICKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I just absolutely love the NightHauler in all it’s forms and appearances. It’s gotta be one of my favourites ever.
11343883
the one keter anomaly that will actively apologize for the inconvenience it may have caused you.
The Night Hauler is keter right?
I am loving this series so far. If you're open to suggestions, I could absolutely see Fluttershy trying to organize a peace summit between SCP-2967 A and B.
Oh crap. I know of several SCPs that are known to crash parties and none of them are good.
Well then.... Night Hauler had some issues with Smoky.
11343883
I ROLL WITH THE WIND! I'M FILLIN' Y'ALL'S VEINS WITH ROAD SALT AND EXHAUST AND THE SMELL-A BURNIN' RUBBER!
11370479
Yes, the Night Hauler is Keter, as he is very difficult to contain, if not even impossible.
11370672
11373793
I will look into it, haven't heard of it before yourentioning, but sounds definitely interesting and fitting for her
And Pinkie Pie agrees, crashing parties are never good!
Thanks a lot for the comments!
Interesting, curious to see what happens next.
Hold on scp 3899 can go 267 mph and rainbow dashes new motorcycle can go 220mph the night haulers truck is 47 miles faster than rainbows motorcycle no way she can keep up with the night hauler
Wait a minute I thought nothing could kill smokey SCP 973 should not have died
11380271
Well, she couldn't:
11373845
Of course they have issues if or once they meet each other, one likes to speed and the other doesn't like when others speed
11380283
Well, first of all, it's never stated in the file that Smokey is impossible to kill, that belongs to 682.
Second, he survived a bullet storm from a machine gun and escaped, so what had killed him was the Night Hauler, who is something more. As in the words of the author, "SCP-3899 is a very old god. Not as old as some others, and definitely not as powerful, but still a god. It's a manifestation of freedom, perpetuity of motion, and unstoppability."
11377384
Thanks to all for the comments!
I think I have an idea of what is going on The reason the girls aren’t being contained or the magic it’s because the scissor events are the girls interfering with scp making them become more containabl e or becoming neutralised
But scp 973 smokey keep appearing time and time again how could the night hauler stopped smokey I saw smokey take down two instance of the headlights like they were nothing to him
Damn, that was intense. I wouldn't be surprised if Rainbow has PTSD from everything that she has been through.
11380878
The form of containment/non-containment is more clear in the "prequel" New in Canterlot City. It doesn't touch the scissor events, but it brings another perspective on what is going on.
And what about the scissor events, well, it shall be more revealed later on
11381266
It is a lot indeed

First of all, Smokey and Headlights are an "What If"-scenario made by Dr. Bob, but let's use that for showing what the article says: Headlights — SCP-745 — are not as dangerous, more or less. The Foundation was able to capture instances of them and make the area where they live smaller, while Smokey is an entity where the area of its appearances gets bigger.
We read in the file that the Foundation tried to catch Smokey one time, and they failed despite shooting at it. It survived. Smokey itself always appears out of nowhere and vanishes in thin air.
That's all we got of Smokey. Nothing of it says that Smokey is unkillable. Now, about your question of how Night Hauler was able to stop: We may never know. Maybe he got out of his truck and punched it, maybe the force of the truck is enough, maybe the tentacles were pierced through the body, or maybe Smokey was already heavily injured from the attacks of that one night and one last blow was enough… however it was, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that it‘s possible, given the nature of Night Hauler and what the files of Smokey doesn't oppose. Remember, a truck which is unbendable driving with 267 mph right at you is a blow barely anything will be able to survive, and even if Smokey still did, then it just stopped appearing.
Now, in case you want to discuss further about the possibility, I would prefer to move the discussion to PMs, as not to fill the comment section with that topic.
When is the next update
11384062
Sorry, no release schedule. The next chapters are still in the writing process. However, the fic will get two or three (depening on the length of the final chapter) chapters and then be finished, before the storyline will then continue in another fic
Why can I not like your story
11384105
Based on the numbers it seems you did. If you ask why the like number isn't showing it's because fimfiction doesn't show the likes/dislikes until you have 10 likes+dislikes.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! A WEEPING ANGEL??
I have a feeling that the SCP Foundation officials will want to personally give the Rainbooms a talk.
Considering that they met so many SCP's, befriend one, constantly survive, and unintentionally defeat some of them.
11389364
Nah, that's just SCP-173. Totally different from a weeping angel.
11389364
It's Peanut time.

Foundation: "You have neutralised 189 SCPs, befriended 2034 ones and made sure that 62 wouldn't cross the earth again while facing them at random without knowing how to deal with them and not having a single causality.
"Meanwhile at us one containment breach happens and 35 people die, 152 get tortured for all eternity and the universe collapses two times while trying to reverse the effects.
"How?"
Sunset: "Magic of Friendship."
Dr. Bright: "I knew it!"
11440852
They're not entirely different. Their concept is literally the same
Meanwhile I spend 5 years designing and building what started off as a large garden shed, and ended up being fitted with quad hubless polyflex track wheels on highly morphable suspension drive, lined with a thousand cubic foot of billion gate rainbow bandwidth quantum optical processors per cubic foot, years before MLP or SCP, and even in this reality its called totally unrealistic.
I designed it using the principles of Pratchett and Adams. To operate Recursively. As in, its primary operation is to analyze, design and implement a free particle plasma form of itself that is far more compact and can therefore process at a far higher speed.
Recursively.
I first saw the theoretical basis of this technology back in the 1980s. I picked it up from even older books.
I have my suspiscions about what 682 actually is, and why Pinkie knows him as Gummy.
As for the fastest bike? Im not permitted to propose it again. The last one using known technology at the time, was theoretically capable of doing Evil Kenival clean off the Lunar surface. I have NO idea what many of my designs could even be classed at in SCP terms.
The 250 mph helicopter? Likely isnt even Airwolf, never mind one of those RotoX wings from 6th day.
So many SCPs are memetic, hmm, its far too late, I better stop or Ill start writing down actual functions. Im also a lot older and slower these days. I used to be able to work out how most things likely worked, from their Name.
I thought I beleived it was in the Star Trek Anthologies 10 where one of the stories had Spock creating a Chaos Computer, from logical analysis. It had some Very intresting properties.
Certainly very promising having Rainbooms interacting with SCPs, if not directly with the Foundation itself, as the Seldon functions work for that also.
11440966
I know they're the same. I was making a joke.
Considering how well these girls deal with anomalies on a daily basis, you'd think the Foundation would be bending over backwards to recruit them.
The combination of the Foundations containment procedures and Equestrian Magic is causing Events to propagate up the Long World the longer the realms are connected? Really hope Twilights bat, Home Run, doesnt cause a Hard Reset Event in any of those variants, as that is a Very Bad Day for the rest of the Long Cosmos.
At least this thing is just Fast.
And not those utter dimentional? Nightmares from Legacy.
Pinkie asked an O-5 classified question?
11451567
to be fair, she is a weird one.
11441150
Oops
11441102
Micro Chips, please don't ramble or you'll get heard from them
11441218
Hm…
11451567
As far as I know, it's a GOC term that the Foundation also took and use
With all the temporal machinations, suprised the unknown wasnt Starlight Glimmer.
My money's on the Scarlet King.
But doesn't Rainbow Dash have that magic geode that gives her super speed? What does she need a motorbike for when she can do that?
11470843
Hm
11470885
Interesting guess. Let's see if it's true
11470924
Overusing her speed overpowers the geodes, so she needs a replacement.
So is it done? Left up to interpretation? That ending makes me think a third book is in the works just wanting clarification if it is or not please and thank you.
11545877
There will be a sequel and it's also already in the writing process.
However, it will be very probable that some other stories will be published before that are all set in the same series for the sake of establishing ideas and setups in the sequel, because the sequel will be the one wrapping everything up the series is all about…
All in all, please be patient, a sequel is in the works, but it needs time
11545892
Understood thank you
transmission received from The Administrator
hey sean so you may want to come here theres multiple scps trying to jump into the eqg dimension

You mean SCP-173? That thing loves your neck,
It's like a weeping angel but 10x more worse. You blink once you get your neck snapped.
I HAVE READ LIKE 1000 STORIES AND THIS WAS THE BEST!!!
I enjoyed it sooooooooooooo much. Can you write more like these?
11380271
last I checked it could go up to 430 kph
11343205
Orrre scp 3899
11798433 I did some conversion and 430 kph is equal to 267.19 mph
