Rainbow Dash didn't remember a thing, she woke up in a hospital bed, oxygen mask on her mouth. Her head really hurt, as if smashed repeatedly with a hammer. Her wings hurt as if snapped like sticks. Finally her back legs hurt the worst and both were in a cast, with signatures all over it. She heard the door of her room open, a doctor came in, "oh goody your awake, nasty fall you had there. 5000 foot fall." Dash was perplexed by his report and and she pulled the mask off her mouth and asked asked, "Who am I and who are you?!?" The doctor said back, "Let me bring back Twilight, you might remember her." Dash was still confused, "Who is Twilight?" The doctor, backed up a bit and left the room, Twilight was outside the room. The Doctor said, "It is much worse than expected. She has no memory whatsoever, you should probably go in there, it might help her memory." Twilight, speechless with the report said, "You said yesterday, she had brain damage so bad, she would never wake up and would be brain dead the rest of her life." The doctor replied back, "The limited brain activity started up again in the morning, and she just awoke, its been a month almost. This is a medical miracle!"
Twilight Sparkle walks into the room, "Hi Dash, your awake!" Dash felt like a stranger listening to her, listening to Twilight tell her of all her achievements and then Pinkie Pie (unsuccessfully) tried to hold a party in her hospital room. she thought Pinkie Pie was insane, and yelled at her like she never knew her. Days past, then weeks, she still had no memory of what happened and didn't remember any of her friends at all. Twilight tried to explain to her again, the element to her, along with her dream of becoming a Wonderbolt, her job to keep the skies clear, and her flat out awesomeness. Dash didn't remember any of that still. Until a surprise guest came.
Someone walked into the room, a pony wearing a Fedora hat, he removed it, it changed its shape, it was Discord. She didn't remember him, but he somehow got in and sat in a chair, and said, "Hello Dash, longtime, NO SEE." Dash then asked what became a very common question, "who are you?" Discord gave a small laugh and said, "I am your friend, I finally learned of your accident and came to see you" Dash felt happy listening to him and said, "This is very thoughtful of you, thanks friend." Discord said, "Those others coming in have forgot about you, deep down they HATE you for who you are, unique, I like that, and need you to do a favor. I am hated as well, like you unique, I need your help, the elements of harmony are needed, I have acquired an ancient tool, the portal staffs, I require the elements to power them. Will you bring me the elements?" Dash thought of it, then asked "why? Why me? why do you need the elements? And what are you going to do with the staffs?"
Discord replied, " We need the staffs totake Equestria back for me and only you can do it, your trusted." Dash thinking much more, thought it through and then said, "Discord, I will do what you need done. I accept." Discord, pleased with his triumph, then said "good choice. Good choice, Rainbow Dash."He put his Fedora back on, as the pony that came in and left the room.
During the next few days, she learned of her accident, a storm had approached Equestria, she was sent to clear the skies, a heavy wind gust hit and sent her falling, blacking her out and fell at least 5000 feet headfirst, into a tree, nearly killing her. She was rushed to the hospital immediately, were she went into shock and then had a cardiac arrest from it. she was in coma for at least two months. The doctors even said, it was impossible for her to get out, she was close to being brain dead. When she awoke it was a miracle she awoke. Dash still was clueless and couldn't remember what had happened, had that really happened to her?
About a week later, dash was transferred to a flight rehabilitation center to learn how to fly again. She got the hang of it, even though her back legs didn't show, they started healing quickly also, within a month, she was in full health, except for her memory, which was still broken, and corrupted by Discord. She had limited visits by Twilight and a brief short visit the night before being discharged out by Discord.
Discord in his pony disguise, entered her room and formed into his shape once he removed the hat, turned to Dash and said, "Remember our plan Dash, we need the elements to take back Equestria. If we are successful, your will be rewarded handsomely for your actions. Equestria was wrongfully taken by that corrupt bile filly named Celestia." Dash agreed with him and said "Tomorrow, i get out, I will help you master". Discord was please with what he heard and said, "good, good Dash.Remember what I said you are unique and you should be proud of your uniqueness." after saying that, he lifted his lion paw hand out to her hoof, she lifted it up and he grabbed, producing a large smile on his face. He put the Fedora back on and transformed back into his disguise. Dash got out of the bed and in the bathroom in the room, she looked in the mirror, she asked herself, "Am I really this unique?" she went back in bed and slept the rest of the night. The next day, she was released and started to plot out the plan, the plan to take Equestria back to Discord.
