"Luna!" cried Celestia as she ran towards her sister's room, "Luna, I just got an extremely important letter!" The two alicorns turned a corner and crashed into each other. The two both winced and dropped the rolls of parchment they were each holding. "Wait you got a letter, too?" they asked simultaneously. "Clearly we can't talk about this right here," said Celestia, "Let's go to the Northern Tower to discuss this." "Good idea." said Luna. The two disappeared in a flash of light, and reappeared in the Northern Tower. Luna winced slightly and put her hoof to her horn. "Magic still weak?" asked Celestia. "Yes, but it will return in due time," said Luna, "Anyways, we have something more important to talk about." "Indeed," Celestia levitated up her roll of parchment that was held shut by a golden clasp with Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark etched on it, "Twilight Sparkle, my student, sent me a letter." "My student also sent me a letter." said Luna, levitating up a roll of parchment that was held shut by a plain silver clasp. "You have a student? When did that happen?" "You really don't know? It's my friend Rainbow Dash." "Ohhhhhhh. That makes sense!" "Anyways, what did Twilight Sparkle tell you?" "She said that Rainbow Dash had over 100 magic parts in her, including pegasus, unicorn, Earth pony, alicorn, dragon, and something else that they could not define." "Is that all?" "She also said that Rainbow Dash had a vision of her friend Applejack, but she didn't look the same as she does at the moment." "Rainbow also told me that she levitated a quill to write the letter she sent me." "She WHAT?" "Apparently, it occurred after her friends had left, which is why Twilight didn't know." "She can use LEVITATION?" "It shocks me as much as it shocks you, sister! "Okay, so now we have Shadow hiding somewhere, Destiny being messed with, and Rainbow Dash gaining magic from other others and being able to use it?" "And Rainbow Dash having visions." "Right, those, too." "But why would she have a vision in which her friends looked different?" muttered Luna to herself. "Wait... If her friends looked different, but were still the same personality wise, then that could have something to do with Destiny..." "I'm not sure I follow." "Well, you know how the Tree of Harmony has the star shape on it from which we got the sixth Element?" "Yes, but how is this related?" "Twilight Sparkle has that same shape as her cutie mark, as well as bears the sixth Element." "Very interesting, but why are you telling me this right now?" "Just give me a moment! Twilight Sparkle earned her cutie mark during a magic exam into the School for Gifted Unicorns, but only after a certain event occurred." "Which was?" "The legendary Sonic Rainboom." "WHAT?!? You've got to be joking!" "I'm not. I saw the rainbow blasting through the sky myself the moment she earned her cutie mark. She also then had a magic surge, but she stopped after a bit." "But who preformed the Sonic Rainboom?." "If my guess is correct, it was Rainbow Dash who preformed the Sonic Rainboom." "But she was on the moon with me after being frozen in ice for years." "Luna, how does one do a Sonic Rainboom?" "You would have to being flying fast enough to break the speed of sound." "And what if the pony who was doing this Sonic Rainboom had a cutie mark that represented speedy flight?" "That could help them speed up a bit." "And what if the pony was also filled with not just pegasus magic, but alicorn, unicorn, and dragon magic?" "Increasing the speed exponentially depending on how much of each magic they had!" "Exactly! Something caused the magic inside of Rainbow Dash to activate, causing her to accelerate, cause the Sonic Rainboom, and travel back in time!" "And that something is what changed Destiny and is now letting Rainbow Dash see visions of what the future would have been like if Destiny hadn't been changed!" Celestia and Luna hoofbumped in excitement before calming down again. "So that's our plan of action now?" asked Luna. "I'll send a note to Twilight and you'll send one to Rainbow Dash. Tell her to go to Twilight once a week to be magic scanned, keep a journal of the visions she has, and to not let others seeing her use any magic other than pegasus magic. She needs to practice controlling it and being able to preform spells other than levitation." "I'll do that as soon as possible. Is that everything?" "We'll need to check in the Starswirl Wing for spells related to Destiny and time travel, as well as anything on the Elements and Shadow." "Got it," Luna started towards the window before turning back towards Celestia, "Don't worry, sister. Everything will end up fine." She then jumped out the window and took to the sky to raise her moon once again. Dear Rainbow Dash, my friend and student, Thank you for sending me a letter detailing the events that recently occurred. You having more than one hundred magic parts is a unique case, but my sister and I are working on finding details. At the moment, I need you to do several things: 1) Have Twilight Sparkle magic scan you at least once a week and keep a record of the kinds of magic in you. 2) Keep a journal detailing any visions you have, making sure you put down noticeable differences between what you see and what you know 3) Do NOT use your magical abilities around others. Practice using it in private only, and do not tell your friends. This may not see like the best course of action, but it is for both your's and their safety. Your magic is very unique, as it is a large blend of different types, but your pegasus magic is the strongest. Be cautious when flying at high speeds. That is all I need to tell you at the moment, and it is all you really need to do. If we find more details that could help, I'll have you come to Canterlot so we can discuss it in private. Sincerely, Princess Luna.
