Rainbow Dash vs. Reverse Flash

by Tailbiter231


The Fastest Ponies

A few weeks later, the Mane 6, Spike, and Starlight were having a big party at Twilight's castle. Of course, Pinkie Pie was the one who set it up.

"Hey Applejack," said Rainbow Dash, "back when we were trying to find out what happened to the Pillars of Equestria... that was the first time you've bitten my tail since... I don't know, a long time! When was the last time before that? I think it was when we were being sucked into that comic book right before we became the Power Ponies. That WAS you who bit my tail, right?"

"Yeah, it was," said Applejack.

"You used to do it all the time! I mean, not that it wasn't annoying sometimes, but I kinda miss it. Why don't you anymore?"

"I don't know why. I guess I just lost interest in bitin' tails. I tried it again that time for old time's sake, plus you just fell down. But, it just wasn't as fun as it used to be."

"Of course that didn't stop Pinkie from biting my tail twice before then."

"I think it's because the writers changed, and can't keep up with the style of the first two seasons!" said Pinkie Pie, breaking the fourth wall.

"Huh?" said Rainbow Dash and Applejack at once.

"Forget it," said Twilight Sparkle. "She's just being Pinkie Pie."

Suddenly, Pinkie's tail twitched, and a yellow blur with red electricity zoomed into the room. The Mane 6 and Spike were instantly tripped and fell flat on their faces, and Starlight vanished.

"What in Equestria just happened?" said Rarity.

"Starlight?" said Twilight as she got to her feet. "Starlight, where are you?"


Chrysalis waited patiently in her cave. She did not have to wait long. Not a minute after he had left, Eobard returned, carrying Starlight with him by biting her tail.

"I got her!" said Eobard.

"Excellent," said Chrysalis.

The instant Eobard set Starlight down, Chrysalis trapped her hooves in green slime, and then coated her horn with it as well so she could not use magic.

"I should have known you were behind this," said Starlight, trying to shoot a magic beam unsuccessfully. "Who's he?"

"I am Reverse Flash, and I will be the fastest pony in Equestria!" said Eobard.

"Good luck beating Rainbow Dash."

"Oh, she's next." Eobard zoomed out the door.

"Chrysalis, I'm telling you, you don't want to pursue a path of vengeance!" said Starlight. "When I did that, I almost destroyed all of Equestria!"

"Destroyed all of Equestria? If my plans end that way, I will be one satisfied changeling!" Chrysalis licked her lips, and Starlight felt even more uncertain that Chrysalis could ever be reformed.


"Who would want to take Starlight?" said Twilight.

"Isn't it obvious?" said Rainbow Dash. "Chrysalis would! She swore absolute revenge on her, and we just let her fly away!"

"But she's not that fast. Whoever it is would have to be as fast as you."

There was a blur of red electricity, and Eobard stood before them.

"Rainbow Dash!" he said. "I challenge you to a race to prove which of us is the faster pony!"

"You're the punk that took Starlight!" said Rainbow Dash. "If I win, you have to show me where you've hidden her!"

"We'll see about that!"

They took off, flying at incredible speed.

Eobard was fast. But Rainbow Dash kept up with him the entire way.

"Where exactly are we racing TO?" said Rainbow Dash.

"To the Crystal Empire, then to the south edge of Badlands!" said Eobard. He had since explored Equestria and learned much about it from Chrysalis.

"You got it!"

By the time they reached the Crystal Empire and turned around, Eobard was pulling ahead.

He reached the edge of the Badlands before her.

"I can't believe I lost," said Rainbow Dash.

"I told you I'm faster," said Eobard. "Now, I'd better go see how Chrysalis's revenge plan is going."

He flew back to Chrysalis's cave at top speed.

"Have you decided what to do with her yet?" said Eobard.

"I have three ideas in mind," said Chrysalis. "I'm trying to decide which one of them is the most vicious!"

Suddenly, Eobard felt a fierce tug on his tail, which threw him backwards into a wall. His attacker was none other than Rainbow Dash! She had bitten his tail and thrown him.

Oh no... how could I have let this happen? She followed me here! Even though I'm faster than her she was still able to keep up with me.

Rainbow Dash bucked Eobard in the face and knocked him out.

"You let Starlight go right now!" said Rainbow Dash.

"Or else what?" said Chrysalis.

Rainbow Dash flew circles around Chrysalis. Chrysalis started to get dizzy, and stumbled around. Rainbow kicked her away. Then she grabbed Starlight with her hooves and pulled her free of the slime, and then rushed her back to Twilight's castle, where Twilight destroyed the slime on her horn and what remained of it on her hooves.

"It's so good to have you back," said Twilight, giving Starlight a hug.

"I was afraid that pony had done something awful to you," said Fluttershy.

"It's not over yet," said Rainbow Dash. "Starlight, do you feel up to fighting Chrysalis?"

"Chrysalis?" said Twilight.

"She's working with Reverse Flash," said Starlight. "And fortunately you rescued me before she could hurt me."

Starlight teleported to Chrysalis's cave with the Mane 6. Unfortunately, there was no sign of Chrysalis or Eobard.

"They must have left," said Twilight.
