Thankfully Caballeron's goon was kind enough to make a full stop of the next station before escaping. Luckily a replacement was quickly found and they made it to Manehattan on time!

"I can't thank you girls enough for this." Daring said as they got off at the station. The sun was just beginning to set. "Especially you Rainbow, now the Jewel of Flora will be safely locked inside of a museum for all to see and enjoy."

"It was our pleasure." Twilight said.

"Besides, it was awesome! I got to live a real life Daring Do adventure!" Rainbow gushed.

Daring smiled at them, "I have to get going, but thanks again for all your help. You saved a lot of people today."

"Eh, it's what we do." Rainbow shrugged.

As Daring left, Principal Celestia came over.

"Now that that matter's settled...I believe we have another important topic to discuss." She smiled specifically at Rainbow when she said this.

"You bet we do!" With that, Rainbow began rushing around the group, stopping only to talk."I love my super speed!" She ran and stopped again, "Did I mention how awesome it is!?"

"Only about eight times in the past hour..." Sunset muttered.

AJ shot Rainbow a cheeky grin, "So I guess waitin' for yer power was worth it after all?"

Rainbow blushed and chuckled nervously, "Yeah...I guess it was..."

"Incredible..." Twilight said, examining Dash, "You also seem to have also developed rapid thought processes and reflexes as well to help with your speed. Just as Applejack also developed increased durability and tougher skin and bones along with her strength."

"Ooooh! Neat!" Pinkie said.

"Who cares about all the technical stuff?" Rainbow ran and stopped again. "This is awesome!"

"Make that nine..."




The students were gathered and they were finally on their way to the hotel. As they walked, the girls grouped together at the back.

"Can you believe just how crazy today was?" Aj asked.

"I know right! A high speed train in distress while a powerful artifact is put in danger!" Pinkie declared dramatically. "It's just like a movie or a piece of fanfiction!"

"What?"

"Oh, nothing."

The girls went silent until Twilight spoke up,

"So...looks like I'm the only one still without their power, huh?"

Aj draped her arm over Twilight's shoulders, "Aw don't worry 'bout it sugarcube! Ah'll bet your powers gonna be amazin' when it arrives!"

Twilight smiled at this, "Thanks Applejack. Though it appears that our powers only arrived when we really needed them."

"I wonder what's going to happen next?" Fluttershy wondered.

"Fluttershy that'd be spoilers!" Pinkie scolded.

"Huh?"

"Let's not worry about that right now darlings. Right now we're in one of the most fabulous cities in Equestria! And we are going to enjoy it!"

The girls agreed and indeed they had a grand time. Though fate wouldn't allow them to rest for too long...
