Soarin?
He woke up. Someone was sitting next to him.
"Who's there?"
"Soarin..."
"Rainbow?"
"I'm sorry..." She was soaking wet.
"Rainbow..."
"I- I never wanted to hurt you..."
"Rainbow."
"I don't know what happened to me, what was I thinking?"
"Rainbow!"
"I almost killed one of my best friends... I broke your ribs... I shouldn't be the element f Loyalty, I don't deserve it..."
"Rainbow! Don't say those thing about yourself. It wasn't you fault that... "Thing" took over."
"What if it was? I was too weak!"
"You are not weak! Do you even hear yourself?"
"..."
"Come here..." He hugged her.
"What about your ribs? Doesn't it hurt to hug me?"
"Starlight healed it..."
"Oh thank goodness..." She hugged him back.
.......................
"Soarin? Wake up!" Starlight knocked on the door. No answer. She opened it. Soarin was still sleeping. She walked inside to wake him up but saw Rainbow Dash brushing her hair. She was only wearing underwear and one of Soarin's oversized shirts. "Rainbow? What are you doing here?!"
"Can you please not talk this loud, I'm trying to sleep!" Soarin groaned.
"Well Soarin, Karai is in our living room and Rainbow Dash is in YOUR room."
"I know, I know."
"Did you also happen to know that her clothes are spread around in you room and she's wearing one of your shirts? This is starting too look an awful lot like a certain thing, don't you agree?"
"We didn't do anything. As for the shirt. I gave it to her."
"Why?"
"I'll explain later."
.....................
"So what happened?" Twilight looked at Rainbow and Karai. So did everyone else.
"Well..." Karai started.
"I went with Karai."
"We know that already." Raphael glared at her.
"Yeah I know." She glared back. "So... Basically, Karai told me Shredder wanted to talk to me..."
"He told her to tell him you guys' weaknesses, and she refused." Karai had a sad look on her face.
"They took me to this... Place..."
"And they did... This..." Karai showed them the scar on Dash's arm. "...Multiple times. Do you know what it's like to have water sprayed all over you, to be electrocuted when you're wet?" Rainbow looked to the ground.
"I'm so sorry darling..." Rarity looked at her with tears in her eyes.
"Don't be... It's my fault for coming with them..."
"No Dashie. Don't be like that. It's not your fault! You were being controlled by that "thing" inside of you." Pinkie hugged her. Rainbow smiled weakly at her.
"What happened next?" asked Twilight.
"Karai walked into the room and told them to stop... She- she's my..."
"Sister." Karai finished for her. Everyone's jaw dropped.
"What?!" April covered her mouth.
"Our dad was married to my mom and they decided to have me... He divorced with my mom soon after I was born. She didn't want me either so they left me. He remarried with Rainbow's mom and... You know what happened..." Karai sighed.
"We don't know all of it..." said Starlight.
"Well... My mom gave birth to me and she died while doing so... My dad blamed me for it and hit me... He barely fed me and kicked me out of the house when I was five years old. Soarin and his dad found me. In the hospital they found out that I never had a name, however, they found a book with names my parents thought of. Scootaloo and Fleetfoot's parents adopted me. And you know the rest of it..."
"That's why we went back..." Karai looked at the ground.
"And that's why you came back?" Soarin asked. Rainbow nodded.
"Why is she wearing your shirt anyways?" Twilight eyed him suspiciously.
"She came to my room and started to tell me how she didn't deserve to be the element of loyalty..."
"He told me it isn't true... I was still soaking wet so he borrowed me his shirt."
"How did you find out that the two of you are sisters?" Twilight looked at Karai.
"He... He told me..."
"So... He's alive..." A shiver ran down Rainbow's spine.
"Dashie, we won't let that man hurt you anymore." Soarin grabbed her shoulders and looked at her. Dash smiled at him.
A loud noise came from outside and everyone started to run outside. "Wait!" They all stopped and looked at Mikey. "Rainbow Dash, Karai, you've been in there. You must know how to get in and out."
....................
Everyone walked outside.
"Karai!" Shredder yelled. "How dare you betray me like that?! Can't you see how pathetic your little "sister" is?!"
"She's not pathetic!" Soarin yelled.
"How come you still don't think of her as pathetic after what she did to you and your friends?"
"Because she isn't pathetic, it isn't her fault you took over!" yelled April.
"But she wasn't strong enough to stop it." Shredder grinned.
....................
"You're pathetic!"
"Stop...."
..................
"Not everyone can be strong at all times!" yelled Rarity.
"Well, it's too bad for her that I am always strong! It looks like she's struggling to be strong right now!"
"Stop...." Rainbow fell on her knees and held her head.
"Rainbow!" Soarin ran up to her but was pulled back.
"Stop!" A black aura surrounded her.
"Rainbow!" Starlight tried to get to her, but was pulled back too.
"STOP!" her eyes turned a bright red. She removed her hands from her head and stood up. She grew her pony wings and flew up.
"Rainbow! Stop! It's too dangerous!" Twilight flew after her, but Rainbow pushed her back.
"Rainbow!" Karai called out to her. Rainbow turned around. "He's not alone! There's this guy named Sombra who's always with him! He can take your magic!" Rainbow turned back to Shredder. She took a deep breath. Her eyes turned magenta again.
"Rainbow! Remember! He still has you in his power!" yelled Sunset. Rainbow looked at her and flew back down. Her wings disappeared.
"I told you she's pathetic!" Shredder looked next to him. A pony-like creature was sitting next to him. They both laughed. "Now." Shredder stopped laughing. The creature nodded his head. A dark aura surrounded it's horn. The creature disappeared. Everyone looked around. It appeared in between all of them. He used his magic to put a dark aura around Rainbow Dash.
"Dashie!" Fluttershy ran up to her, but couldn't get trough the aura.
"Twilight! Can't you do something with your magic?!" Starlight yelled in fear. The creature put an aura around Starlight too. Twilight closed her eyes. She opened them soon after.
"We can't help them!"
"There has tha be some way!" yelled Applejack.
Shredder was smiling at the scene in front of him. The black aura's around the girls disappeared and their magic got sucked out of them.
"Come on! You can fight it!" Karai encouraged. Starlight opened her eyes.
................
"You're pathetic!"
"You killed her!"
"I don't want to see your face!"
"It's all your fault!"
It's not my fault....
"Leave!"
Shut up!
"She would have still been here if you weren't born!"
"You took her away from me!"
"You're not strong! You're pathetic!"
Not everyone can be strong all the time...
Just be strong now!
...........................
Rainbow opened her eyes. Starlight used her powers to free herself. It worked.
"Come on Dashie! We believe in you!" Pinkie cheered her on.
"I..." Rainbow tried to free herself. "I can't..."
Pathetic.
..........................
"Rainbow?" Rainbow opened her eyes and saw Soarin staring at her. "Guys, she's awake."
"What happened?" Rainbow looked around. "How did I get back in the lair?"
Soarin sighed. "Sombra took your powers and you passed out..."
"You put up a great fight! He kicked your ass but you put up a good fight!" Pinkie jumped. Rainbow looked down sadly.
"Hey..." Starlight lifted her chin. "It's okay, we can't all be strong at all times."
"I've never been strong..."
"You know that isn't true..." said Fluttershy.
"I failed you guys..."
"No you didn't!" Soarin grabbed her shoulders. "You are one of the bravest ans strongest people I've ever met!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
Pathetic.
