// [ALT STORY] SIDE WITH APPLEJACK 
// Story: SAVE 
// by Golden Flare 
//------------------------------//

As you think about it, Rainbow was always a big headed showboat and always did as she pleased. So who's to say Applejack's not the one in the right here? With raw DETERMINATION etched on your features, you storm up to them and shield Applejack from Rainbow Dash.

"Hey! Why are you...hold on...you're that loser! Why are you protecting her?! She betrayed me!"

"Really? Because it looks like YOU'RE the one who's the traitor!"

"WHAT?!? Now you're asking for it, kid!!"

Just like in the gym, the world around you flickered until it went black, then found yourself fighting Rainbow Dash.




*Rainbow Dash blocks the way!






(your name) - LV 1 - HP 20/20






[FIGHT]   [ACT]   [ITEM]   [MERCY]




You hovered your finger over the FIGHT option and pressed it without hesitation.




*Rainbow Dash [=====]






(your name) - LV 1 - HP 20/20






[FIGHT]   [ACT]   [ITEM]   [MERCY]




When you pressed her name, a different screen popped up and a bar flew by, you pressed it once it reached the center and all of a sudden, your fists started flying out towards Rainbow, inflicting some major damage.

*Rainbow Dash - 46/100 HP




"Hey, that hurt!" Rainbow exclaimed.

Suddenly, Rainbow started kicking soccer balls in your direction, some speeding past you while some hit you, dealing more damage than the dodgeballs from before.




*Rainbow appears to be struggling just to stay standing.






(your name) - LV 1 - HP 4/20






[FIGHT]   [ACT]   [ITEM]   [MERCY]




You press FIGHT, then Rainbow's name, and lastly the bar as it centered itself on her.




55

*Rainbow Dash - 0/100 HP




(stop music)

"Agh...mother of Faust, that hurt..." just then, Rainbow started fading away, "What the?! Why am I...I can't...feel my..."

Rainbow was able to utter one last word before disappearing into dust.

"M U R D E R E R ."

With that, she vanished, never to be seen again, and her heart, or her SOUL, remained, it trembled, broke in half, and shattered into pieces.




*You won!
*You gained 10 EXP and 35 GOLD!
*Your LOVE increased!






(your name) - LV 2 - HP 8/24






[FIGHT]   [ACT]   [ITEM]   [MERCY]




The world returned to normal, except the only difference is that Rainbow's boastful self was no longer standing in front of you.

She was gone.

And you killed her.

"What..."

You turn around and see Applejack staring at you in shock and fear.

"What did ya do to Rainbow?"

You swore that you wouldn't hurt anyone, that Sunset was your real enemy, yet you felt like you betrayed YOURSELF...
