//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 Dying Wish // Story: Pinkie Flash A Flash Of Hope // by Firestarter Dazzle //------------------------------// Pinkie continued to drive down the path that police GPS was telling them to go, Kassidy had her head out the window looking at the pavement as it moved at the same pace as her and her new partner. "You okay?" Pinkie asked, looking over at Kassidy. "Your actually the first person who has shown me any kind of affection Pinkie. I know I was a part of King Sombra's group but to tell you the truth I didn't want to not be involved" Kassidy explained, she shown some kind of guilt and Pinkie could see it clear as day. "I forgive you" Pinkie beamed, rubbing Kassidy's back to rise. Kassidy looked over her shoulder to see a bright sunshine like smile spread across Pinkie's face. That made the symbiote host to start to smile as well, she hugged Pinkie as she drove out of the highway and onto city streets. "According to the GPS it says that our destination is to our left" Pinkie said. Both girls turned their heads to notice the Chicago Police Department was balls to the walls covered in green changeling ooze that was shaped like a tower with a pointy tip hanging at the very top, Pinkie put the cruiser in park before getting out. Kassidy got out as well, still in awe at what they were looking at. Parts of the ooze started to leak on to the streets, which made Kassidy make a disgusted facial expression. "Ugh the sooner we take care of this, the better my stomach will settle" Kassidy said. Pinkie nodded. They both entered inside the police hive building where catacombs were everywhere and were constantly shifting every few seconds. It was mind boggling to say the least, Kassidy had her mouth gaping open with shock. Pinkie instinctively closed Kassidy's mouth so no fly would cause her to choke on an insect. "Thanks" Kassidy said. "Wouldn't want a bug in your mouth" Pinkie responded. "How are we going to possibly going to find Chrysalis? This place is like one giant maze" Kassidy questioned. Pinkie was dumbfounded with the many shifting hallways, that would make finding the changeling queen second to impossible, but the pink party girl's vision started showing a path leading to Chrysalis. "Come on I know how we can get to her" Pinkie said, grabbing Kassidy's hand. All of a sudden Pinkie sped through the maze, ramming herself into changeling soldiers that were in her way until both her and Kassidy walked into Chrysalis' chambers, the throne that she sat on was empty. Kassidy and Pinkie exchanged looks of confusion of the absence of one named Chrysalis. "Pinkie Pie" a familiar voice ringed in Pinkie's ear. She turned around to see her bestest friend in the whole wide world Rainbow Dash in full view and in living color. Pinkie thought she was in a dream, cause Dash sacrificed herself to save everyone in Metropolis but now here she was, standing in front of Pinkie unharmed. "D.....ashie...." Pinkie stammered. She started to walk towards her to see if this was a trap or an illusion. Unknowingly, Chrysalis had a small knife behind her as she displayed a small smirk that Kassidy noticed right away. "PINKIE IT'S A TRAP!" Kassidy bellowed, tackling Pinkie to the ground. The disguise Chrysalis was using was of no use to her anymore thanks to Kassidy. She growled and hissed at them as she brought out her claws, attempting to scratch Pinkie but Kassidy blocked it with a claw of her own. "What do you care about this pathetic waste of super powers?" Chrysalis hissed. "She's more than that Chrysalis, Pinkie is my friend" Kassidy declared. Friend That one word that Pinkie used as a trademark echoed itself inside her head, she stood up as Kassidy was taking a few claw attacks to her face and body, ripping up her leather jacket and shirt somewhat. As Chrysalis was about to deliver the final blow, a hand stopped her from connecting with it. "What the? What do you think your doing you insolent fool?!?" Chrysalis snapped. Pinkie's hand began to spark and crackle, Chrysalis tried to make sense of it but Pinkie shocked her which sent the queen flying back into her throne, knocking it off it's perch. Whoa that was actually pretty cool Kassidy thought, she was in awe at her friend for what she just did a few minutes ago. A lightning strikes down on Pinkie, transforming her into the superheroine Pink Flash as Chrysalis growled in frustration at this person for breaking in her home and causing all this chaos. "You fool! You will never defeat me!" Chrysalis said. Pinkie dashed over to her, getting close enough to execute a lightning speed punch that connected with her face, she spit out some green blood before clawing at her outfit which caused it to rip and bleed on her left hip. Chrysalis had a sly smirk as she brought out a black and green glowing kitana that was laced with lethal acid. "Now your going to die just like your friend" Chrysalis hissed. That wanted to send Pinkie over the edge but she knew it would only make things worse so she kept her composure as she dashed over to Chrysalis to do another lightning punch, the changeling queen blocked her attempt and punched her in the gut which cracked some ribs. Pinkie went flying but caught herself by grabbing on a steel beam to use as a catapult to swing towards Chrysalis. While she was focused on Pinkie catapulting her way towards her, Kassidy with a spear hand stabbed Chrysalis in the chest as Pinkie round housed kicked her hard that blood came out her mouth and had a broken nose in the process. Chrysalis slammed back first into the hard wall, causing it to shatter like glass. Pinkie and Kassidy looked over at their handiwork, wondering if they truly defeated the changeling queen but Chrysalis stood up barely after having been stabbed and round housed kicked by Pinkie and Kassidy. "This is impossible! How are you two are able to stand up to me?!?" Chrysalis bellowed, holding her chest after Kassidy stabbed her there. "She taught me something about being a hero and not letting people like you destroy that" Kassidy proclaimed. Chrysalis screamed loudly in the air, causing the whole place to shake and rattle, even cause a bit of cracks in the wall and didn't want any interruptions from any outside help no matter who or what they were. She was going to make sure this place became Pinkie's tomb. Pinkie put up her open palm to reveal a lightning ball, crackling electricity as the energy flowed through it, her face was dead serious about defeating Chrysalis. When she readied herself her attack, a figure of Rainbow Dash in her Zapp costume was standing next to her best friend. Dashie... She winked at Pinkie before her form disappeared and gave a small smile as a tear flowed down her face. Chrysalis then roared in anger and charges at Pinkie, attempting to drive her claws into her but Pinkie countered and drove the lightning ball at Chrysalis into her chest as she screamed in horror. The walls that covered the police station started to fall apart at the seams, the big explosion caused a ripple EMP blast that affected every electronic device in a 20 mile radius. Chrysalis got thrown back until she hit a wall very hard, lifeless and not moving. Pinkie put her bloody hand down and walked over to close Chrysalis' eyes then sighed. "Pinkie what you did was so....electrifying and kind of dangerous" Kassidy stated. Pinkie didn't respond to the question that Kassidy asked her and dropped to her knees. "I saw her Kassidy...Dashie was standing next to me as I readied my attack. Even though I have this lovable bubbly personality, Dash was always there for me in my darkest moments...she gave me this power and lightning pendant for this specific reason. She chose me to carry her name" Pinkie explained. Those words pierced Kassidy hard and both girls hugged before walking out of the police headquarters. "Well I should be going, thanks for helping me Pinkie. You know, your really sweet girl, I hope you and I hang out sometime" Kassidy suggested. "Sure" Pinkie beamed. They hugged again before Kassidy left in the stolen police cruiser and sped off. Pinkie looked over in the horizon, got in a runner's position, then dashed off back to her superheroine home in Metropolis.
