Whoa!! 

Hehehe!

Gimme a break, Kairi.

Giving up already?

If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one?

This world has been connected.

Wh-who's there?

Tied to the darkness...

Sora, don't ever change.

The door has opened.

What?

You understand nothing.

Sora...

Day 19: A Sonic Rainboom

'' Mmm...ahh... Another dream about him, just how many fragmented memories I have?''. Roxas as he sat up and put a hoof on one of his knees

'' Roxas''. Applejack said in her sleep.

Roxas looked at her and started thinking of something while holding her face.

'' I still have so many things to do, but I know something...I will become part of their life, just as they became a part of mine.''.

After a little more time has passed the mare woke up and saw that Roxas was holding her face.

'' Roxas?! what are you doing?!''. Applejack said nervously with a blush on her face.

'' I'm just happy to have you here with me that's all''. Roxas answered.

'' Sleeping with you is very comforting and I just want to make sure that i'm not the only one who's enjoying that''.

'' Oh...well thank you for being concerned about me... Roxas''. Applejack replied.

'' Your welcome, but I always wonder... Why your face turns red every time I got closer to you?" Roxas asked her.

That question surprised Applejack so she answer it the best she could.

'' Well, Roxas when your cheeks feel red or pink that's happened due to being shy, embarrassed, anxious, threatened, or when your start to feel attraction to that pony because your body seems to take a liking to him or her''. Applejack said.

'' Is like being nervous but in a good way"

'' Hmm, thanks for the info, I hope we get to sleep together again soon I like having you around me Applejack''. Roxas said with pink blushes

Applejack gasped at his comment, sat up, and hug him.
'' Look, Roxas... I appreciate everything you do for us...for me Thank you'' she replied.

'' I just react in a way that seems appropriate, I'm still learning to live with this kind of experience''. Roxas said as he hugs her back.

'' Well then, in that case, Roxas whenever you feel like wanting to sleep with me just ask, okay?''. Applejack said.

'' Thanks, Applejack come on let's go, I'm looking forward to seeing how our day goes today''. Roxas said as he pulls back and kissed her on her cheek, jumps off the bed, and headed outside the door.

Once Roxas was out of his room Applejack touched the spot where Roxas kissed her cheek, she rubbed it a little, and then started to think about something '' Hmm Roxas is quite the gentle colt and he's gonna make a great coltfriend someday but should I be the one for her?''.

'' What would be the thing I could give to him?''Applejack asked.

"For now I shouldn't keep him waiting" 

As the 2 ponies went to the dining room their plates were filled with Apple Cinnamon rolls and glasses of apple cider.

'' Hmm, this food is new?'' Roxas asked.

'' Oh, your gonna like this cuisine Roxas it's both a dessert and breakfast meal''. Applejack said.

'' The frosting makes it very tasty along with the cinnamon and apple it gives it additional favor''. Roxas said.

'' Glad to see you all rested up, here's something to give you all an extra energy boost''. Granny Smith said.

'' Roxas, you have got to try our homemade apple cinnamon buns there the best around here''. Applebloom said as she munch her bun piece. 

'' Yyyyyyup enjoy it everypony I'll need it''. Big Mac said.

As everyone eats their breakfast in peace, Roxas made some comments about the flavor of the food '' Mmm delicious the icing complements the cinnamon guys this is amazing it's like eating sea-salt ice cream but better and for some reason, it's making my fatigue and small aches from this morning wash away as I eat''.

'' You can say that again partner''. Applejack said as they took a bite of their food.

After breakfast was over everyone put their plates and glasses into the sink and left the house to do some farm work.

'' Come on guys let's do some chores on the farm before we go see how the others are doing''. Roxas said.

''Right''! Everypony said.

Meanwhile at the center of Ponyville Rainbow Dash paces around Fluttershy in a review of their preparation for the Best Young Flyer competition while wearing their new outfits. Satisfied that Fluttershy has an understanding of the elements of a good cheer, Rainbow Dash wants her to go over the cheer itself.

'' Now, what have we learned?'' Rainbow dash asked.

'' Loss of control''. Fluttershy answered.

'' Good''.

'' Screaming and hollering''. Fluttershy continued.

'' Yes, and most importantly?''

'' Passion!'' Fluttershy finished.

'' Right! So now that you know the elements of a good cheer, let's hear one''. Rainbow dash said.

Fluttershy: [inhales] Yay.

'' ... Ugh... You're gonna cheer for me like that? Louder!''. Rainbow dash said.

Fluttershy: Yay.

Rainbow Dash: Louder!

Fluttershy: Yay.

Rainbow Dash: Louder!

Fluttershy: [deep breath] [quietly] Yaaay.

'' Ugh...'' Rainbow dash groans in frustration.

[thud]

Fluttershy: Too loud?

Back to Roxas and his friends at Sweet Apple Acres.

'' Roooommmmm... that should do it''. Roxas said as he finished plowing the vegetable fields at a fast speed.

'' Ughh...ugh...there, all done''. Applebloom said finishing organizing and tieing the haystack into rectangle shapes

''(Buck and crash) that's the last of the apples to collect for harvest for the day''. Applejack buck the last apple tree she needed to collect the ripe apples.

'' All right you 2, looks like you're done for the day, apple bloom and big mac will take care of the rest''. Granny smith said as she walked up to them.

'' Thanks granny smith''. Roxas said

'' All right, let's go find the others''.

'' We'll see you later granny smith, goodbye take care of my brother and sister''. Applejack added

As the 2 ponies left Sweet Apple Acres both Roxas and Applejack began talking about what happened yesterday. Minutes later, Twilight arrived and joined the group.

"Morning guys, how are ya?" Twilight asked.

"Good we were just talking about what happened between me and Ap... Roxas was suddenly interrupted by Applejack.

"Oh nothing, don't worry fella, Roxas was talking about the job that's all" Applejack said while she got closer to Roxas.

"Let's keep this private for now, we'll talk about this later" she whispered and Roxas nodded.

"Oh, Okay then, let's go Rainbow is waiting for us" Twilight replied.

Both ponies nodded and keep their way to ponyville, but Roxas took the chance to ask Twilight about something.

'' Hey Twilight, a quick question, yesterday when you burst into flames and your eyes turned red... your mane was being consumed with fire what was all that about?''

'' Well Roxas, I was angry at pinkie because she said that the hydra was not the dosey I experienced a Magic Surge. A magic surge is an equivalent of having an adrenaline impact; put any pony in the right situation and the magic they'll produce will be extremely powerful, and with enough stress, they even can produce magic than can rival Princess Celestia's powers, but if the pony doesn't have the mental strength to control that kind of power they'll end up damaging themselves in the process.'' Twilight explained.

'' Just like me when that hydra almost ate you " Roxas said.

'' Yes you did, but Roxas you are Pegasus, you shouldn't be able to cause a magic surge, only unicorns can. Because of our horns we have the ability to store more magic energy than pegasus and earth ponies, our horns help us to release all that extra energy inside us for something good or bad." Twilight replied.

At this point, Twilight's curiosity develops even further.

"Which begs me to ask...Roxas, are you an alicorn-in-training or something? Because not only can you cast magic without being a unicorn but you also have the strength to fight like an earth pony '' Twilight stated her reason.

'' What's an Alicorn Twilight?'' Roxas asked leading to a simple explanation of the four races by Twilight.

'' Okay Roxas here's the thing, Earth Ponies are strong and more connected to nature compared to Pegasi and Unicorns. Pegasi can fly, control the weather and, stand on clouds, they have also been seen as the most athletic ones since their more flexible and great at acrobatic maneuvers. Unicorns with their horns can cast magic and spells. And Alicorns are the 3 previous races wrapped in one powerful package one clear example is the princesses they are so powerful that they can control this world’s sun and moon you get what I'm saying here, Roxas''.

'' Wow, I didn't know about that, thanks for the history lesson, and I got to say, remind me not to get you into your bad side, I wouldn't like to be there when you had that thing, although you look more attractive in that state''. Roxas answered her.

'' Uhh...I'll make sure to let you know if you cross a line hehehe...''. Twilight said looking away a little with a red blush.

" Thanks for saying that I'm attractive" Twilight added.

" Of course you are, only a fool wouldn't see that opportunity" Roxas said.

'' Plus I even enjoyed the time when you had your tail combined with mine at the Running of the Leaves Race, it was comfy''. Roxas whispers into her ear and then he gave his tail touching hers this time.

'' Uh...Roxas I... I don't know what to say... thank you...''. Twilight said with her face turning pink and kissing him on the cheek.

'' Anytime Twilight I'll never forget that''. Roxas says with pink blushes as he tightens his tail grips on hers, nuzzling her even more, and wrapping a wing around her body.

Applejack took notice of this and whispered into Twilight's other ear

'' Well play Twilight but remember I still have a chance to get him before you do let's see who gets Roxas first''.

'' Game on then, Applejack I like to see you try better on your flirting attempts towards him''. Twilight whispered back

The scene then changes back to Fluttershy watching Rainbow Dash practicing a routine for the Best Young Flyer competition. Rainbow Dash unsuccessfully attempts to perform a sonic rainboom and ends up crashing into Twilight and Roxas.

Fluttershy: Yay.

Rainbow Dash: [deep breath] And now, phase one of my routines.

Fluttershy: Wooo.

Rainbow Dash: Phase two.

Fluttershy: Way to go.

Rainbow Dash: Here we go. Phase three. The sonic rainboom. C'mon! [grunt] Uh-oh. [scream] [crash].

"[grunt] Seriously just when we were having a tender moment with each other RAINBOW DASH''. Twilight said with frustration.

"Ouch, really? Again?"Roxas said.

'' Rainbow Dash, you rock! Woohoo. [gasp] Did my cheering do that''? Fluttershy said.

'' Hehe. Sorry about that Twilight and Roxas. That was a truly feeble performance''. Rainbow dash said as she gets off Twilight and Roxas.

'' Actually, it wasn't all bad. I particularly liked it when you made the clouds spin''. Fluttershy said.

'' Ugh. I'm not talking about my performance, I'm talking about yours. That feeble cheering''! Rainbow dash said.

'' What are you two arguing about?'' Twilight and Roxas asked.

Fluttershy: Were we arguing? I'm sorry.

'' [grunt] I wish you guys could come to Cloudsdale to see me compete in the Best Young Flyer Competition''. Rainbow dash said.

Twilight: What's that?

'' It's where all the greatest Pegasus flyers get together and show off their different flying styles! Some are fast! [makes car sounds] And some are graceful. Whoa, whoa, whoa''! Pinkie pie said appearing out of Nowhere with her new KH outfit

'' Golly. I'd love to see you strut yer stuff in that competition''. Applejack said.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah. I wish you guys could be there. Fluttershy's great support, but her cheering isn't exactly inspirational.

'' Ooh! I'd love to see you make a sonic rainboom! It's like, the coolest thing ever! Even though I've never actually seen it, I mean come on! It's a sonic rainboom! How not cool could it possibly not be''?! Pinkie pie said excitedly.

'' What's a sonic rainboom''? Roxas asked

'' You need to get out more. The sonic rainboom is legendary! When a Pegasus like Rainbow Dash gets going sooo fast... Boom! A sonic boom and a rainbow can happen all at once''! Pinkie explained.

Applejack: And Rainbow Dash here's the only pony to ever pull it off!

Rainbow Dash: It was a long time ago... I was just a filly.

Pinkie Pie: Yeah, but you're gonna do it again, right?

'' Are... you kidding? I'm the greatest flyer to ever come out of Cloudsdale! I could do sonic rainbooms in my sleep''. Rainbow dash brags.

Twilight Sparkle: Wow. If you pull that off, you'll win the crown for sure!

Rainbow Dash: The grand prize is an entire day with the Wonderbolts. A whole day of flying with my lifelong heroes... It'll be a dream come true!

Fluttershy: Yay.

'' I'm gonna go rest up. Don't wanna over-prepare myself, y'know. Hehe. You Fluttershy, on the other hand, better keep practicing. I need a cheering section to match my spectacular performance, Roxas you're coming with me I'll give you a tour of my home Cloudsdale''. Rainbow says and grabs Roxas's hoof.

'' Waaaaait.......woooooaaa'! Roxas shouted as he is forcefully taken from the group.

Fluttershy: She's practiced that move a hundred times, and she's never even come close to doing it. I don't know if I can cheer loud enough to help her.

'' Well, guess we better get ourselves ready''. Twilight said.

'' Go on, go on''. Rarity said as she arrives shortly after with her destiny outfit on.

'' Go on what?'' Twilight asked

'' Find a spell that will get us wingless ponies into Cloudsdale. Didn't you see how nervous she was?'' Rarity explained

'' Nervous? Have you spat yer bit or somethin'? She was tootin' her own horn louder than the brass section of a marching band''! Applejack said.

'' Oh, puh-lease. I have put on enough fashion shows to recognize stage fright when I see it. We've got to find a way to be there for her. Now go on''! Rarity said her rebuttal

Twilight Sparkle: Owaa! Ugh. How am I supposed to find a flight spell in this mess?

'' A flight spell? One sec. Page twenty-seven''. Pinkie pie said while looking into a spell book

'' How'd you do that''? Applejack asked.

'' It landed on my face when Rainbow Dash failed her attempt to create the sonic rainboom''. Pinkie said.

Twilight Sparkle: Here it is! A spell that will allow Earth ponies to fly for three days. Ooh, it looks really difficult... I'm not sure I can do it.

Rarity: You've got to try!

Twilight Sparkle: Okay... But who's gonna volunteer to be the test subject?

Rarity: I will! For Rainbow Dash, I will go first.

Twilight Sparkle: Here goes. [grunts] [screams].

Applejack: [gasp]

Twilight Sparkle: I think it worked!

Meanwhile Rainbow and Roxas finally arrived in Cloudsdale.

'' Ta-da what do you think of this place Roxas''. Rainbow dash said.

Roxas was confused a little bit, but when he regained full consciousness he began to contemplate the wonderful views from cloudsdale

'' Wow this place is so cool I can't wait to take some time looking around here''. Roxas said with excitement.

Unfortunately, a not-very-cherry fella interrupted the scene.

'' Well, well, well. What do we have here?'' Dumbbell asked.

'' It's our old friend Rainbow Crash''! Hoops said.

"Oh...no" Rainbow dash said.

"Who are they?"Roxas asked.

"They are 3 bullies I met in the flight camp" 

Dumb-Bell: Get kicked outta any flight schools lately?

Dumb-Bell: Hoops, and "Score"[laughs].

'' I didn't get kicked out''. Rainbow dash said.

'' Face it, Rainbow Crash. Flight school had too many rules, and not enough naptimes for you''.  Dumbbell said.

'' Huh, ask her about the sonic rainboom''. Hoops replied.

'' That's nothing but an old mare's tale. You don't have the skills to try something like that''.  Dumbbell states his claim

'' Wait just a minute! She's been practicing really hard for this and I know she is going to do a sonic rainboom''! Roxas defends his rainbow friend

"Dumb-Bell": No she's not, 'cause there's no such thing!

'' [laughs]''. The 3 pegasus stallions did
That sight made Roxas go towards them and grab all 3 of them with his hooves.

'' Listen here you 3, I'm not going to let you stallions ruin this big day for her; this is Rainbow dash's opportunity to show off her skills from all her hard training to be the Best Pegasus Flyer ever in Equestria this is her time and her big moment''.

'' Just who do you think you are bub, and what's rainbow crash to you anyway''? Dumb, Hoops, and Score ask with disgust

'' I'm Roxas and don't you dare call her that again it infuriates me, her name is Rainbow Dash and one of my closes and coolest mares to have ever been my new friend''. Roxas answered them

'' Ohh looks like Rainbow Crash here got herself a Bodyguard, or better yet, a Coltfriend Looks like dropping flight school made her soft,  what happened to your tough attitude crash?"Dumbbell said.

" Yeah now you look like the shy timid yellow pegasus mare, give me a break" Hoops added.

Rainbow cringed from what dumbbell said about Roxas being her special somepony and just move her head down causing her mane to block them from seeing her eyes while her cheeks starts turning red.

As for Roxas, that comment struck a nerve with him resulting in him clutching the 3 stallions' necks stronger than before and making them stare into his face filled with Anger and serious Aggressive determination

'' NOW YOU'VE DONE IT, you 3 are crossing a thin line right now if I hear any more comments from you all insulting anymore of my friends I ensure you it will be the last mistake you have ever done in your lives. I fought monsters for a living and I know the Rage of a Warrior you do not want me to go Savage on you colts''.

"ROXAS!!! Wait don't hurt them, they're not worth it"  Rainbow said.

"Fine, you three are very lucky, but don't ever talk to her again you hear me?" Roxas said letting them go.

"Looks like this guy can't even finish the job, he needs that her girl told him what to do HAHAHA" Dumbbell said.

A dark aura manifested around Roxas, he was about to strike but Rainbow stopped him.

"Please...No"She said calming Roxas down.

Roxas just turned around and summoned his keyblade, putting the edge on dumbbell's neck.

'' Okay, we get the message we stop bothering her''.

'' Good, Now...get...Out...Of...My...Face''. Roxas said m

The 3 Pegasus stallions began flying away from them.

'' Whoa that was unfortunate, but now you must show them one or two things, Rainbow''. Roxas turn towards her but when he did Rainbow's face was in shock and fear.

'' Umm, Roxas you're starting to scare me with your aura, darkness was coming out of your body, and sharp teeth started to grow''. He move a hoof to feel his teeth and when he felt them being sharp Roxas started hyperventilating. 

Seeing Roxas act like that wasn't a good sign, Rainbow did the first thing that came to her mind which was tackled him down into the fluffy clouds and hug him tightly with her wings and hooves wrap around him.

'' Rainbow...I...uhh''. Roxas had trouble responding to her, due to how very soft and smooth laying down on a cloud was so he just wrapped his hooves and wings around his friend and embraces her there as he is relaxing Roxas's darkness started fading away and his teeth return to normal.

'' Thank you Rainbow dash for helping me before the situation got worse''. Roxas said as he looks at her in the eyes.

'' No problem Spiky you're my pal, and pals look after one another''. Rainbow said with a red blush and nuzzle him a little before getting off him

Then the rest of the Mane Six arrive in a Hot air balloon.

'' Hey look the others are here, over here guys!!'' Roxas waved over to them

'' This is so cool! You guys made it''! Rainbow said.

'' Sure did''! Pinkie said as she and her friends jump off the balloon and landed on the clouds.

'' Wait! How'd you do that? Only Pegasus ponies can walk on clouds''. Rainbow dash said with shock and surprise.

'' Haha. Pretty cool, huh''? Pinkie said.

'' I found a spell that makes temporary wings, but it was too difficult to do more than once. So I found an easier spell that lets the rest of us walk on clouds''. Twilight explained.

'' And we came to cheer you Dash''! Applejack said.

'' To be honest, I was starting to get just the teeniest, tiniest bit nervous. But I feel a lot better now that you guys are here. Hey, we've got some time before the competition. Why don't I show you around Cloudsdale?'' Rainbow dash said.

Suddenly Rarity shot up into the air and said

'' Ooo Yes that will be the most delightful thing Rainbow dash to give us, your friends, a tour of your Home in the Skies''.

The sight of Rarity having wings was a surprise for Rainbow and Roxas. Rarity's wings were in the shape of a butterfly almost transparent, as if they were made of silk, with various colors on them, from where the light shone, giving a beautiful show of rainbow colors on the ground she stepped on and when she's up and floating in the air.

'' Rarity! Are you... flying''?! Rainbow and Roxas asked to her

'' I most certainly am! Aren't my wings smashing?! Twilight made them for me. I just adore them! Why so shocked? We couldn't leave our favorite flyer without a big cheering section''! Rarity said as she floats back down to the ground

"We"? I... I can't believe it''! Rainbow answered.

Seeing Rarity like that made Roxas pop out his wings and stare at her. 

When Twilight and the others saw this, they walk up to him and wave at his face to wake him up.

'' Umm hello earth to Roxas you okay''. When that didn't work Rarity giggled '' Hehe this is 3rd time that I cause him to have another wingy thing''.

''Wait a 3rd time what do you mean by that rarity?'' The mane 5 asked surprised.

'' Well...2 days ago Roxas stayed with me to help me clean the boutique I thought he was tired so I asked him to stay over the night, things got a little hotter and I ended up showing him a piece of my ULTRA PRIVATE COLLECTION...and then we cuddle together...we kissed...and...". Rarity said coolly with pink blushes but she was interrupted.

''WHAT''! The 5 mares shouted out in shock that Rarity had gotten Roxas to love her before any of them could bond with him more.

'' Wait hold on now so you two went and go 'n have a tumble in the' hay''. Applejack said with flumes coming out of her ears.

That accusation made Rarity's face change from pink to red. "Applejack! I'll have you know, it's not considered good gentlemanly behavior to accept a lady's 'virtue' upon the first night and first date all I did was just kiss him on his cheeks and neck that's it to teach him more on how to show affection to somepony".

'' Oh, so that's all you did''. Applejack said as her face started returning to normal.

'' Yes and even if I did want to have my way with him I want Roxas to willingly do the same to me of his own free will when he feels that he's ready not because I force myself onto him so I can take advantage of his lack of knowledge and experience on love I want the experience with him to be mutual and consensual''. Rarity states her final reason. 

'' I'm sorry Rarity but in my defense, you said that you kissed him, you show him part of your intimate collection, and you cuddled, so won't all that evidence strongly conclude that you two were being intimate together''. Applejack said.

'' Well you do have a point their applejack but this was all a big misunderstanding so why don't we let this be water under the bridge agree''. Rarity suggested

''Agree'' The 5 mares nodded

'' So what are we going to do to get Roxas to move and regain consciousness again?'' Rainbow asked.

'' Oh leave that to me, darling''. Rarity says as she trots towards and around Roxas.

''Smooch, Smooch, (tail whip)''. Rarity gave a quick kiss on both his cheeks, then she made sure that his neck and chin feels her back tail, and finally she stroked him with her tail.

" WHOAA!!!" he shouted.

After she did all that Roxas regains focus, shake his head a few times, and dashed right next to her wrapping a hoof and a wing around her waist, combining their tails, and nuzzling her face very affectionately with pink blushes

'' Those wings make you so incredible Rarity''.

That action made rarity turn pink again '' Roxas are you fondling over me?''

'' Isn't this what friends do to each other I stop if it's bothering you''. Roxas said.

'' NO!! don't, your comfortable Roxas I like what you're doing to me''. Rarity said as she wraps one of her butterfly wings and hoof around Roxas's body waist and wings as she nuzzles him affectionately too

Rarity saw the sight made by Twilight and her friends, she also saw that they had a fire in their eyes just because she was gaining more attention and affection from Roxas instead one of the other.

'' Well then Rarity, shall we all get going to explore the City of the Skies?'' Roxas asked.

'' Why yes of course darling let's go, but as we're heading into Cloudsdale can we keep holding each other like this Please''? Rarity said while she looks her friends.

'' Hmmm...Sure why not''. Roxas told her as he tighten his grip on her body, wings, and tail more and showered her with more physical affection.

'' Thank you''. Rarity said as she walked with him side by side into the city and then as they were walking ahead Rarity tilt her head up towards her friends and whispered ' 'Mmm-hmm'' at them.

Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow dash all open their mouths from that and look at Rarity with furious looks on her who were giving her a very murderous glare as the fire that was in their eyes from what rarity did earlier got Roxas's attention increase more strongly and feisty determination. They all then whisper to her and they each lift a hoof in the air and shake them:

''You do realize that this means WAR Rarity''.

'' Then Bring It On Girls, Challenge Accepted Let the Games Begin Ding Ding''. Rarity whispers back to them with a smirk while continuing to smother Roxas in their cozy hugging embrace

As the 5 mares follow their two friends behind them they all say the same thing to each other but made sure that Rarity couldn't hear them

''I'm gonna kill that unicorn mare''.

As the Mane 7 follow Rainbow Dash as a guide, the first thing the group of friends visits was the Cloudsdale suburb, where almost all the houses were built with clouds. Although, like Rainbow’s house, with a type of cloud much denser than the usual clouds in the sky.

Constructions that could only be made and kept there in the sky, all following the aesthetics of the city, with large columns and arches that reminded a bit of antiquity. After they continued through the market, which was quite basic but with very high prices, since they're in the sky, not all the things that were given on earth were given, such as food, gems, or other raw materials, so many pegasi preferred to shop in neighboring cities.

'' Here it is the greatest city in the sky''! Rainbow dash said.

'' Oooh! Wooow''! The group marvel at its sight.

'' [in mirror] Oooh! Aaah''! Rarity said as she adores and poses herself in a nearby store mirror.

'' Do you always have to admire and check yourself on everything that reflects your image Rarity?''. Roxas said while continuing to embrace and nuzzle her.

'' Sorry Roxas darling it is a bad habit of mine I can't help myself especially since we mares do care about our appearances in public hehe''. Rarity said while enjoying feeling the presence of Roxas body right next to her and nuzzling him. 

'' Uhh... guys you two coming or what Some of the greatest Pegasi in history came from Cloudsdale you still have to see the rest of it you know''! Rainbow dash said to get their attention.

'' Oh, wait for us''! Roxas said as they catch up with their friends
[jackhammer sounds].

'' Those wings are gorgeous''! says a nearby pegasus stallion steam roller worker.

'' Why, thank you, sir''! Rarity enjoys the compliment.

'' Be careful with those wings, Rarity. They're made from gossamer and morning dew, and they're incredibly delicate''. Twilight advises her unicorn friend.

'' Don't worry, Twilight. I'm sure they can't get worn out from too much attention''. Rarity said.

'' What Twilight means is this Rarity be careful about what and who touches them otherwise your wings could snap and break apart resulting in you screaming out in pain I don't want to see that happen to you''. Roxas said while patting her head

'' Oh okay Roxas I get the message but only because you asked me and I want you to coddle me more''. Rarity said in their embrace.

'' Since we're up here, I'd sure like to get a look at where the weather's made''. Applejack said.

'' Great idea! C'mon, girls. To the weather factory''! Rainbow dash said.

Upon arriving at the factory, everyone's eyes widened when they saw the enormous construction of clouds, with chimneys from which many and varied clouds came out; while on one of their sides a rainbow river fell, from where the pegasi made precisely rainbows. Once inside, everyone had to put on robes and helmets, all to keep clean such a delicate work area where the weather of all Equestria was manufactured, especially in the first room they entered, which was where the snowflakes were made so Rarity and Roxas had to let go of each other tenderly embrace.

'' Aww looks like our cuddling time is over Roxas''. Rarity said with sadness

'' Don't worry Rarity we'll have more time to do that next time right now we can't pass up this opportunity and not see how pegasus ponies manage to get this place to work from the inside of a Cloud this is a once-an-life time chance''. Roxas says to cheer rarity up and rubs her mane

'' All right Roxas until we snuggle and collide our tails together again darling I'll be waiting for you''. Rarity said as she gave him one more quick snuggle and kiss on the cheek. 

'' This is where they make the snowflakes. Each one is hoofmade. As you can see, it's a delicate operation''. Rainbow says while showing them one of the factory's rooms.

''[gasp] Ooh, the snowflakes look even better from up here''. Rarity says after taking a couple of turns in the air to show off her newly acquired skill with her wings and take a look at them from a different point of view.

However, during her demonstration Rarity flapped her wings too much and caused a wind that had blown away the delicate and light snowflakes causing all the pegasus workers of the place to start running from side to side to catch the flying snowflakes all over the place.

"Oops! I'm sorry." Rarity said embarrassed, landing immediately as she put on a nervous and guilty smile.

''Hey, what's the big idea? How can you be so careless? We work all morning to create these snowflakes. Watch where you're flapping your wings, you knucklehead?'' Snowflake workers say grumbling and yelling at Rarity

'' We better move on before Rarity ruins winter and causes a drought''. Rainbow dash said.

''Right''. The group said as they shove Rarity out of the room.

As soon as the group of ponies reached the next room, they all instantly forgot about the hustle they had left behind and just stared in shock at what was in front of them.

"And this is the room where rainbows are made." Rainbow Dash said smiling, amused to see her friends so amazed to see the colored pools, each one with the most vivid and brilliant colors they had ever seen, colors that then mixed in waterfalls and formed the beautiful rainbows. 

"You can go on a tour, just be careful with..." Rainbow Dash stopped speaking when she saw that her friends had already separated, all wanting to go on their own in such a beautiful and exotic place, even Fluttershy, who had never been in that room. Fluttershy, Roxas, and Rarity watched the pools where the colors were mixed.

'' Wow, this is fantastic it's like a science lab the pegasus ponies created to make the color for this world''. Roxas says seeing the creations of rainbow colors spiraling together

'' It's so pretty here''. Fluttershy said

'' Seeing all this here makes you want to touch and taste it''. Rarity says

'' I'm way ahead of you rarity slurp''. Pinkie pie says as she tastes some of the rainbow pools.

After she tasted a little of the flavor of the rainbows she ran away for how spicy it was

'' Hot hot hot my mouth is on Spicy Fire ahhhhhh''. ''[laughs]''. Applejack started laughing over pinkie pie who started running around the factory like she gonna catch her whole body on fire '' Yeah, rainbows aren't known for their flavor''. Rainbow said.

A few moments later the 3 bullies that bother rainbow dash come towards Rarity making Roxas and Rainbow dash go after them.

'' Whoa! Oh, where'd you get those amazing wings? We want a pair''! Dumbbell, Hoops, and Score says as they admire her wings

'' Hmm... Yeah, I guess I could see that''. Rarity says as she looks at her butterfly wings

'' Umm ahem I hope you 3 aren't going to bother another one of my close friends are you''. Roxas says to them while tapping his hooves on the ground.

'' Rarity! What're you doing talking to these guys''? Rainbow dash asked.

'' Oh, they were just admiring my wings, Rainbow Dash''. Rarity said

'' Yeah, what she said we're not trying to cause trouble just telling her our opinion of her beautiful wings that's all''. The 3 pegasus says very quickly and dashes away.

After they all let go of each other they left the weather factory and remove their factory clothes, Rainbow Dash guided her group of friends again, only this time with a big smile that no one could take from her face.

"You’re looking a lot chipper! Did something happen back at the factory that made you feel better?" Roxas asked smiling, intrigued by his friend's smile.

"Who knows." Rainbow Dash replied, bringing her face closer to Roxas and giving him a huge and authentic smile, which made Roxas blush slightly, while also being very happy to see his friend so happy.

As they continued walking, everyone's eyes widened in amazement when they saw the huge coliseum in the clouds, where dozens of pegasi were arriving, the vast majority to see the show, while a few lucky ones got ready to participate.

"Over here is the main entrance. Let's hurry up! If we reach seats in the front rows, we'll get a closer look at the Wonderbolts!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly, leading her friends to the main entrance.

Along with Rainbow Dash, the five mares and the one stallion advanced towards the entrance of the coliseum, where there was already a line to enter.

After some time has passed Everyone sat in the stands of the grand coliseum as the entire city awaited the Best Young Fliers Competition to begin. The announcer brought everyone's attention as a group of pegasi wearing blue flight suits that covered every part of their bodies aside from their mane and tails, muzzles, and wings. Smoke trails flew out from behind them, some sort of magical enchantment to make the results of some of their stunts visible to the audience, the Wonderbolts flying overhead as the crowd went wild. As they split apart after their entrance, three of them, possibly the highest ranking of the stunt team, hovered down to a cloudy table as the celebrity judges for the competition.

[trumpet fanfare]
[crowd cheering]

[knock, knock, knock] "Number 4 and Number 15! It's your turn to go out!" The announcer said, just as Rainbow dash was helping Rarity put the finishing touches on her makeup.

'' We're going to be a while''! Rarity said

'' Fillies and gentle colts! Please rise and join me in welcoming our beloved Princess Celestia''! The announcer spoke
[fanfare and applause]

When Roxas spotted Celestia in her royal cloud she was being accompanied by a couple of her royal guards. She noticed him and waved to say hello, which he politely waved back. Unfortunately, the guards had taken notice of his being in the stands, leering at him intensely.

"Wow, those guys must really take their jobs seriously," Roxas said to himself.

Soon, the Best Young Fliers Competition was underway as many of the competitors performed their different routines to impress the Wonderbolts. So far, there were a few good performances, but out of all of them, Rarity and Rainbow Dash haven't come out yet.

'' No Way this is one of the most exciting things that I have ever seen in my Life''. Roxas said with a hugely exciting and genuine smile on his face while having his mouth open.

'' Yeah I know Roxas this show really takes the cake I wonder if they'll add any fireworks during or after the show's Grand finale''. Pinkie pie said with a big smile on her face.

'' Ohh maybe they might also add in some animals to include and increase the special effects for the background making this Competition even more fascinating''. Fluttershy said. 

"Huh, that's weird," Twilight said. 

"Shouldn't Rarity or Rainbow Dash has come out by now?"

"Maybe they're saving the best for last?" Applejack pondered.

"Or the rainbow pegasus chickened out." Roxas turned his head to the right as the same three bullies from earlier had sat next to them. "I knew she would drop out."

"You know I'm right next to you guys, right?" Roxas asked. " Do You really want another lesson on messing around with my friends?"

"You were just lucky punk that 's all and I'm just saying that it might be possible that she back down from the competition !" Dumbbell threatened though it didn't deter the teen.

"Luck had nothing to do with skill. I'm far more powerful than you think I am. You 3 have no idea who you're messing up with" he goaded, riling up the three bullies.

"Or would you want to get caught by the royal guard for hassling someone in a public place? I know the princess quite well, and she knows me. I'm sure she'll understand I acted in self-defense and protecting my friends from your constant harassment." The three pegasi looked terrified, slowly scooching away from Roxas and the girls before they could get in trouble. 

"Yeah That's what I thought." Roxas said with a victory smirk on his face

'' Umm Roxas what's the big deal you have with those 3 pegasuses?'' Twilight asked getting the attention of the others

'' Oh nothing, those guys were insulting Rainbow dash before, they were saying that she couldn't do a Sonic rainboom they also began insulting Fluttershy" Roxas explained.

"What a bunch of flat heads" Pinkie added.

"And what happened, why do they fear you?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well I started to get angry with them, luckily Rainbow noticed that on time and stopped me before it was too late" Roxas said.

"I began showing some darkness again, and my teeth began to grow...I was scared"  Roxas said.

"I was afraid that I couldn't control it anymore"

'' Whoa that's not good and it sounds like it spook you Roxas''. The 4 mares said

'' I don't know why is this happening to me, It started when I fought Nightmare moon and since then I feel like I'm not myself anymore''. Roxas said as he grips his legs with his hooves on top of them

'' Roxas hang in there we will figure this out and help you with getting your powers under control better so you can use your dark powers in a good way just like Princess Luna can all right let's look for the answers together Roxas''. Twilight sparkle said putting both her hooves and Roxas's then gripping them strong as his to get him to relax and then rubbing them up and down to help him stay calm.

'' Thanks, Twilight''! Roxas said while embracing her in a tear-felt hug

'' Anytime Roxas''. Twilight said back with tears of her while embracing him.

Seeing that, made the 4 mares with them smile in happiness, glad that Twilight helped Roxas not stay sad anymore while the best flyer competition was about to start its final event.

"Alright, mares and gentlecolts!" the announcer spoke. 

"Our final competitor of the day, contestants number fifteen and number four!" Rainbow Dash slowly and nervously flew out, along with Rarity, both mares wearing a number over their cutie marks, Rainbow with a fifteen, and Rarity with a four.

The group gawked at Rarity, the attention-starved fashionista wearing the most ridiculous of makeup with her destiny's outfits for her last-minute entrance for her performance. It was supposed to match the beauty of her wings, but it was so bad that many ponies seemed to question the unicorn's taste. She even has so much makeup on her face that it made Roxas wish that he could unsee that image from his eyes and brain

"Oh, My Gosh, my eyes," Roxas groaned, voicing everyone's opinion on the unhelpful fashionista's choice of clothing. 

"Somepony please knock me out right now! That looks awful and will probably give me nightmares that Xemnas will use additionally against me to terrify me in my dreams even further!" Roxas continued after covering his eyes with his hooves over them.

"And Rainbow Dash looks like she's about to crack under pressure," Twilight added, all of them seeing the cyan pegasus shaking under the pressure.

'' Well, Rainbow Dash? Shall we''? Rarity asked her Pegasus friend

'' [scared babbling]''. Rainbow dash starts worrying.

'' Good luck, Rainbow Dash. Just do your best. I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of changing our music. That "rock and roll" doesn't match my wings''. Rarity said taking her position.

[classical music].

''[gulp] C'mon, Rainbow Dash. You can do this. Just remember the routine. Phase one''. Rainbow dash said while taking her position too. 

[crowd cheering]

The duo routine began, classical music playing over the stadium, which did not seem suitable for a competition like this. Rarity soon began an odd dance as she hovered about, flashing her wings to the audience, Rarity then moved closer to the stands and began to fly in a circle so that everyone around had the opportunity to see those wings up close, which caused the screams of astonishment to increase, as did Rarity's confidence. 

Rainbow Dash began her routine, but was more pressured than before, thanks to Rarity. She knew that her outfit and makeup were so wrong that everypony in the audience wanted to fall unconscious.

She weaved through columns of clouds at a quick pace but fell out of rhythm with the classical music playing loudly, slamming into one of the pillars and spiraling out of control.

The audience groaned as they watched the wipeout, though she was thankfully unharmed mainly because of the cloudy walls around the stadium. Shaking off the accident, Rainbow moved on to the next part of her routine, flying around a trio of clouds placed out for her, making them spin rapidly in place. Her nerves ended up getting to her again and slipped up, sending the cloud she was spinning around hurtling toward Celestia. 

The princess managed to duck out of the way in time, but doing that only made the pegasus's anxiety and nervousness worsen as most of the crowd was appalled by the accident.

"I'm not sure how much more of this I can keep on watching", Roxas said as they watched Rainbow fly up into the air for the final phase of her routine, which was supposed to be the sonic rainboom. 

Rarity fluttered up too, shining her wings down upon the crowd with the reflection of their translucent colors. "And Rarity is taking up Rainbow's attention."

"This is terrible, poor Rainbow I wish I could do something to help her"Roxas thought.

"Dont worry...you will"Nightmare Roxas replied.

"What do you mean?" Roxas said.

"All of this despair is attracting the shadows"

"What?"Roxas asked.

"See for yourself" Nightmare replied.

Suddenly, dark portals appeared all around the Coliseum, and from the inside several hundred Red Nocturnes, Blue Rhapsody, Yellow Operas, Green Requiems, and  Surveillance Robots appeared all over the place, the audience gasped in shock at the Heartless' appearance. 

"Oh no..." Roxas said.

More portals appeared and summoned out a new type of heartless that Roxas never saw before, the heartless had a Hornet appearance 4 delicate wasp wings, and one little greenhorn on their forehead, the heartless logo was on their stomach.

The next type of new heartless had a similar appearance to a large body, but with a Viking helmet and a jetpack on their backs, similar to their earth counterparts their heartless logo is on the front part of their armor.

"The Heartless they're here!" Roxas shouted.

'' There's a whole army of them out there''. Twilight pointed at them

'' Don't worry Twilight I'll take care of this (light shines)''. Roxas said whipping out his Keyblade in his mouth. 

'' This isn't going to be easy for me" Roxas said attacking the whole group of surveillance Robots.

No matter how fast Roxas was, the heartless kept appearing and the air large bodies began protecting the Rhapsodies and operas.

"It's not used, I can use magic, but some of them are going to absorb my spells" Roxas thought.

But from inside him, a voice echoed, giving him a hint of the solution.

"Your keyblade... your keyblade is able to take many forms" 

"Wait...who are you?"Roxas asked but he got no response.

"Many forms uh...I wonder...." Roxas thought.

Roxas threw the keyblade in the air, and seconds later A small flash of light appeared in the sky. Roxas's keyblade flew down and hovered down beside him, his weapon was now a hoover board with engines. [similar to Ventus hoover board]

"Ohhhhh yes!" Roxas leaped up onto the glider and stood on his four legs, riding around on it as if it were a skateboard, only better as it could fly over any terrain and through space. 

"This is what I'm talking about oh yeah I can't wait to test out what other special hidden powers my keyblade can do! Whoo hoo!"

''Whoa''. Everypony in the audience marvel at this surprising outcome from the Roxas the new pony Pegasus in Equestria.

'' Leave this to me everypony just stay back and keep each other safe and enjoy the Show''. Roxas said as he looked toward his opponents with a smug on his face.

But before he could head towards them to fight Roxas felt some weight being added onto his glider when he looked behind him he saw Twilight with him.

'' Twilight? What are you doing get down''. 

'' No Roxas I want to help you fight we're in this together beside it will be a good opportunity for me to test out my new powers. Especially you... I Cared about you too much for you to do this Alone''.  Twilight said with serious determination on her face.

But before Roxas can protest further a magical invisible energy barrier appear and surround the entire Coliseum keeping any more ponies from the outside to come in and keeping Roxas, Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow dash inside the magical dome with the Heartless.

'' Darn, it looks like it's too late to get you to back down Twilight. Ready?'' Roxas asks her with a serious frown on his face

'' Ready Roxas let's show these monsters what we can do together and that we ponies aren't just going to wait and cower in fear as these monsters hurt us and take our Hearts away''.

'' Then let's go FOWARD''. Roxas says as he charges toward the flying army.

Roxas glided towards the heartless and began spiraling and spinning around the battlefield cutting down and eliminating the heartless making them disperse out red or pink sparkling crystal-like hearts.

'' Oh yeah, who wants a piece of us hit us with your best shot if you can''.

While Roxas is spinning and grinding the heartless to pieces Twilight is casting out spell after spell to provide cover fire to their rear, launching out fireballs at the blue heartless, ice crystals at the fire heartless, thunderbolts at the surveillance robots, and her purple magic bolts at the thunder heartless.

'' Hurry Roxas we need to get to Rainbow Dash and Rarity before the heartless gets to them''.

'' Got it, hold on tight''. As they are heading towards their friends the heartless army were all launching out their attacks at once toward Rarity and Rainbow dash.

'' I can't find an opening to escape their assaults Rarity''. Rainbow said as she struggles to escape the incoming attacks.

 ''Ahh, we're done for... hold me Rainbow dash''. Rarity said as she cling onto Rainbow dash for safety.

Just before the attacks hit them Roxas and Twilight showed up just in time arriving with a reflective barrier around them:

'' Reflega'', deflecting the spells back at the majority of Heartless, stunning and destroying a majority of them as they were struck with their magic and lasers.

'' Aeroga'' Twilight cast out a massive sphere of wind spiraling around the group to protect and push back the massive aerial army trying to take them down.

'' Hmm, Twilight I got an idea when I throw my glider at them jump in the air and cast a 3-way tri-combination attack spell on them with the strongest spells that you can think of''. Roxas informed Twilight as he accelerate his glider's back thruster and moved around in a circle to increase his velocity power. 

Once he had enough Roxas activates his glider's turbo boost:

'' Here we go Twilight let them have it''.

The heartless advance towards the two ponies heading towards them allowing Roxas to initiate his plan he uses his hind legs to kick his glider at them with strong impacting force.

''Whack Whack Slash Slash Slash Slam Smash''. The glider hit the heartless in a rampaging circle with a continuing arsenal of Strike Raid Barrages at Fast speed with light energy. While the heartless were distracted by Roxas glider, Twilight took the chance she needed to launch the second part of the plan. She started channeling her magic in her horn forming red, blue, and yellow energy sparks and casting out the spell.

'' Firaga, Blizzaga, and Thundaga'' Twilight unleashed a maelstrom of Fire, Ice, and Lightning spells together creating a devastating destructive magical attack. 

"Way to go, now is my turn" Roxas said.

After the spell ended, Roxas rushed to the heartless survivors, using his glider he started spinning at high-speed, turning his body into a giant strike raid.

"Engines activated, prepare for my attack, JUDGMENT" Roxas shouted summoning a giant tornado that boost him against the heartless.

Afterward, Roxas fly up in the sky, and with his keyblade, he free-fell from the sky to do an uppercut slash at the center of the tornado causing a chain reaction that made it react wildly and unstable resulting in a huge explosion and eliminating half of the heartless.

That display of sword slashing and magic spell casting made the audience crowd cheer loudly for the amazing show.

''Whoo hoo go go go you two you got this''. 

Even Rarity and Rainbow dash can't believe on seeing how powerful their two friends are handling all these forces on their own:

'' How are they doing all of this''? Rainbow asked after letting go of Rarity. 

'' I don't know Rainbow dash but it is so Bold, so Daring, and a true display of Magical and Swordsmanship Talents We're going to Win and Live''. Rarity said with her eyes watching in awe her eyes sparkling in delight Roxas's glider headed straight for its owner allowing Roxas to land on it with ease and head straight for a falling Twilight 

'' Twilight it's time to finish this grab my hoof Now''. Roxas said as he lifts a hoof toward twilight in hopes of not only catching her but also activating the final part of his plan which is making both him and twilight do their first limit break together. 

''Almost there...gotcha Roxas'' Twilight said as she landed safely on his glider. 

'' Ahh my head using those spells at a very high level...I haven't gotten used to them they are giving me painful migraines'' putting a hoof to her horn. 

'' Don't worry Twilight the next move will end this battle just hang in there''. Roxas said as he wrap his wings around her body to provide comfort to her pain.

'' Ahh...Arggh''. Roxas was then attacked on his left and right side the 2 new heartless stars came toward them and fired out laser beams at him he quickly dived down and started doing some evasive maneuvers.

 ''All right Now the Time has come to finish this Twilight here's our big chance to deliver the final blow to them''. Roxas said giving Twilight a confident smile on his face as he pulls his wings off extending his hoove now.

'' I trust you, Roxas, now let's send these good-for-nothing Heartless out with a Big Bang''. Twilight said as she acceptably takes his hoof with hers and smile at him with confidence as well.

When their hooves collided together Roxas combine his magic with Twilight and then a light started to shine on both their hooves making Roxas and Twilight fly upwards and began to initiate a cool Union Attack ''Sparkle Drive'' 

They both shouted out and began diving down toward the rest of the aerial heartless army where they were already charging as well to attack their two ponies' prey.

Roxas then began to charge light into his glider blinding and stopping the Heartless movements and changing it back to the Kingdom Key to swing multiple strikes, hitting his enemies. Meanwhile Twilight was side by side doing some set of slashes with a mighty purple horn blade that emerged around her horn.

This was followed by several blade dashes, with magic spheres and raid attacks, and to top it all off, Roxas spun his keyblade around and Twilight jumped above him, and they shot three sparks into the air, causing it to rain shooting stars upon their targets, who was trapped and kept getting whacked multiple times by each star.

"With me"Twilight said.

Then, the two dropped down and bunked the enemies on the head with a double heavy slash making an X of light appear trapping them in it and a few seconds later it exploded in a fiery fury, causing their opponents to fall.

"Time for a big finale"Roxas said.

Finally, the two ponies cached each other's hoofs and spin each other around in circles a few times to descend their speed after that Roxas and Twilight combine both their Keyblade and Horn together ''LIGHT'' the two ponies shouted out making forming a Giant Star that was in the shape and color of Twilight's Cutie Mark combine with magical white Transparent wings that flew the Star down towards the falling heartless catching them all with its wings and engulfing them in its embrace making them vanish from existences and freeing all the captive hearts into the Skies in a beautiful dazzling way as they fading away from the Cloudsdale's Colosseum!

As the public watched the show of colors skyward they all shouted out and clapped their hooves in applauds over the spectacular New unforeseen chain of events even Princess Celestia cheered loudly as possible for her student and Roxas's efforts to save everypony life in Cloudsdale.

'' WHOA, I can't believe this Roxas and Twilight beat a whole army of those monsters and survive this is so AWESOME''. Rainbow shouts in excitement

'' Absolutely Rainbow dash and the way how they ended the fight together was truly fascinating''. Rarity shouted out too

As the fight is over Roxas is keeping Twilight in the air by keeping a hold on her hoof and flapping his wings.

'' Sweet Celestia I never felt that much power in my life and those attacks I did it's like I did them hundred times before but I haven't done anything like that before that was amazing''. Twilight said in awe.

'' You can thank me for that Twilight glad that I can be of help''. Roxas said smiling.

Roxas then flew Twilight down back to the stands and before he could land with her, a dark fireball came out of nowhere and blasted him away from her.

Unknown to him a dark portal opens up some distance away from the coliseum and out came the silhouette of the dark brown pony with a mask lifted a hoof towards Roxas and cast dark firaga out of it and disappeared back into the portal. 

"Who....are....you?" Roxas thought.

When dusk settle Roxas was seen plummeting down to the ground unconscious.'' ROXAS'' The Mane 6 called out for their friend. 

Then all of a sudden Rarity's magic wings started glowing white and then they dissolved shortly afterward in a magical outburst making Rarity fall to her doom as well flailing and screaming around for help.

Rainbow Dash took notice of this and screamed out in terror "RARITY, ROXAS!!"

She didn’t waste a second thought and instinctively jumped through the clouds to catch her friends. As Rainbow Dash fell, she realized too late that her wings won't reach them both in time only one of them, but even that didn't matter to her, she didn't yell for help to save herself either. 

What Rainbow Dash did, was lean back and put her hooves in front of her to gain more speed to try to catch up with Roxas and Rarity. There was nothing else in Rainbow Dash's mind. Neither her safety, what she would do next, nor anything else. All she thought about was reaching her friends.

Within a few seconds of jumping, Rainbow Dash heard a noise behind her, fast approaching. Then, just to the side of her spent three ponies wearing the same suits colored blue with yellow highlights, wearing goggles on their eyes. They were The Wonderbolts, the fastest fliers in all of Equestria. No doubt thanks to their fast reflexes they were the first to react after the Rainbow Dash scream and now they had even reached her.

"Take flight, we'll save them!" One of the Wonderbolts shouted, who seemed to be the captain. 

The captain had said that thinking that Rainbow Dash could fly she had jumped to try to save Rarity and Roxas. The Wonderbolts flapped their wings to try to gain more speed, and little by little they began to overcome the Rainbow Dash free fall, thus flying at enormous speed.

"No... It's not enough!" Rainbow Dash thought terrified when she saw the speed of the Wonderbolts, the distance between Roxas and Rarity, and the little distance that was left to the ground. Even with their incredible speed, there was no way that they were going to reach them in time. Rainbow Dash had a lot of experience flying at high speed, and she was never wrong about that sort of thing. She began to breathe heavily and closed her eyes tightly as she began to cry helplessly at what was about to happen.

"No! No! NO!! Don't give up! Don't fail! Don't lose hope I can't let it end this way!" Rainbow Dash crying shouted, looking up and penetratingly looking at where Rarity and Roxas were, with an absolute resolution. "I’m not gonna let you two die, especially you Roxas! Not before I get to tell you how much I LOVE YOU and WANT TO BE YOU!”

Rainbow Dash's wings spread, but there was no time for the pegasus to be impressed. A strong flap, two strong flaps, three strong flaps, Rainbow Dash surpassed the Wonderbolts... four strong flaps, five strong flaps, Rainbow Dash reached her maximum speed, the wind hit her face, the air became dense, it was like swimming in the water, this was the speed limit of a pegasus... Six strong flaps!

A desperate heart! A rainbow explosion flashed in the sky as Rainbow Dash broke the sound barrier and that massive shockwave of rainbow lights spread out through the land, a rainbow trail shooting up at a ninety-degree angle as it flew up over the coliseum and made a large rainbow.

Rainbow Dash flew like lightning, reaching Rarity caught her with her hooves while catching Roxas on her back and lifting them, overcoming the inertia of the fall, just before both hit the ground, making a bow and rising followed by the rainbow trail that Rainbow Dash was leaving in her path.

The Wonderbolts had been stunned after seeing that sonic explosion, and even more when seeing that that rainbow pegasus had saved a colt and a mare and she was now making those spectacular stunts in the air. And the Wonderbolts were not the only ones who had seen that show, because everyone in the coliseum had been expectant to see the rescue, and amazed to see that Sonic Rainboom. 

But the most excited in the public were five mares, who had remained on the edge of fear to see Roxas and Rarity fall, and now cried with relief and joy to discover that both were safe and to recognize that particular feeling of the Sonic Rainboom that they had also felt years ago and that had united them since their fillies.

After seeing all of that Fluttershy shouted out her screams louder than ever before astonishing the rest of her friends into speechlessness.

 ''A sonic rainboom! She did it! She did it! Wooo''!

[crowd cheering]

'' I did it. I did it''! Rainbow dash said.

''[sigh] You sure did. Oh, thank you, Rainbow Dash. You saved our lives''! Rarity said.

'' Oh yeah. I did that too. Ha, best day ever''! Rainbow dash said

Once the competition was over she landed back to her friends and Twilight grabbed Roxas and put him down on the ground.

'' Hold on Roxas I'll heal you up''. Twilight channel her magic and then felt a green energy wave filled with small transparent green leaves surrounding her horn ''Heal''. Twilight fires the Cure spell at him to mend Roxas's wounds. When she did it, Roxas slowly wake up

'' Mmm...ahhh...what happen to me who was that guy''? he said as he raised.

''Roxas your alright you were attacked by some dark fireball that came out of nowhere and you were falling to the ground we almost lost you but Rainbow dash save you just in time before that could happen''. 

Twilight and Rainbow dash say while they give him a big hug.

'' Really? and rainbow dash save me''? Roxas said

'' Yeah and then after she saved you I heal you up with a level one Cure I could have done a larger powerful one but I didn't want to risk having more migraines when I still haven't gotten used to using casting these new spells yet Roxas''.Twilight said.

'' Ahh, that attack still stings me a little but thanks for tending to my injuries Twilight, and for saving me Rainbow dash I'll be back in tip-top shape in no time''. Roxas said as he got back on all fours

'' I want to apologize to all of you for getting so carried away with my... beautiful wings. I guess I just lost my head''. Rarity said.

Fluttershy: It's okay.

Applejack: Oh, don't worry about it, kiddo.

Pinkie Pie: We still love you.

Roxas: Yeah you kinda let the whole having wings like a pegasus thing go through your head...

'' And I'm especially sorry that I was so thoughtless as to jump into the contest at the last minute after you had worked so hard to win it. Can you ever forgive me''? Rarity said with sympathy.

'' Aw, it's okay. Everything turned out all right, right? I just wish I could have met the Wonderbolts. [gasp] Rainbow said.

" But look, they're coming this way" Roxas said.

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh''! Rainbow dash said and then spots the wonderbolts coming to meet her.

'' So you're the little pony who saved our lives. We really wanted to meet you, and say thanks''. Spitfire the captain of the wonder bolt said.

'' Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh''! Rainbow dash continue her ranting.

Princess Celestia later arrives at the group and presents the grand prize for Best Young Flyer to Rainbow.

The three bullies congratulate and apologize to Rainbow Dash, who forgives them. Dumb-Bell asks her if she wants to hang out with them and hopes that she will teach them how to do the sonic rainboom, but Rainbow Dash replies that she's already got plans to hang out with her friends.

'' Princess''. Twilight says in utter surprise

'' Hello, Twilight Sparkle''. Princess Celestia greets her student and friends

'' Princess Celestia, I am sorry I ruined the competition. Rainbow Dash here really is the best flyer in Equestria''. Rarity said.

'' I know she is, my dear. That's why, for her incredible act of bravery and her spectacular sonic rainboom, I'm presenting the grand prize for Best Young Flyer to this year's winner, Miss Rainbow Dash''! Princess Celestia said as she crowns Rainbow Dash with the grand prize on top of her head.

[crowd cheers]

'' Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh''! Rainbow dash ranting once again.

'' Geez Rainbow relax your acting like you're going to transform into pinkie pie or something''. Roxas says

'' You can say that Roxas''. Pinkie said

'' So Twilight Sparkle, did you learn anything about friendship from this experience?'' Celestia asked her pupil

'' I did Princess, but I think Rarity learned even more than me''. Twilight said

'' I certainly did. I learned how important it is to keep your hooves on the ground, and be there for your friends''. Rarity admits her guilt.

'' Excellent. Well done, Rarity''. Celestia said congratulating the white mare.

"Roxas, I was going to ask you, if you have some free time, could you please visit my sister Luna, she wants to talk with you" Celestia said.

"Of course, Princess" Roxas answered gracefully.

'' This is the best day ever''! Rainbow said.

'' Uhh, hey, Rainbow Crash''. Dumbbell says

'' Dash''! Hoops and Score corrected him

'' Oh! Uhh... Sorry. Rainbow Dash. Uhh, we just wanted to congratulate you on winning the competition''. Dumbbell says

'' That sonic rainboom was awesome''! Hoops said.

'' Yeah, it was very impressive and cool''. Score said.

'' Heh, thanks, guys''. Rainbow replied.

'' Uhh, we're sorry we gave you such a hard time before''. Dumbbell, Hoops, and Score apologies

'' Aww, that's okay. Don't worry about it''. Rainbow said.

'' Hey. Do you want to hang out with us? Maybe you could show us how you did that incredible trick''! Dumbbell suggests to Rainbow.

'' Sorry, boys... But I've got plans, let's go guys since I'm the Champion we got to celebrate my victory for creating the Sonic Rainboom and Roxas and Twilight victory for defeating an entire army of flying Heartless single handily in Aerial Combat''! Rainbow said.

'' One more thing everypony Twilight and Roxas Thank you both for saving all our lives from those Heartless monsters and for establishing peace for not just Cloudsdale but throughout all of Equestria we are forever grateful for what you did for us all''. Princess Celestia said.

'' You're Welcome your Majesty it was an honor to save this Kingdom''. Twilight and Roxas said to Celestia while bowing down to her presence.

After the group left Cloudsdale they arrive back in Ponyville and headed to a Pizza Restaurant to celebrate they order 1 Large Cheese Hayroni with Daisy dandelions, Seven potato french fries, and Seven Soda pops.

'' Mmm you girls weren't kidding that these Fast Foods will have excellent taste''. Roxas said stuffing and chewing his pizza and fries together.

''We're glad that you like them Roxas but slow down we're not in a food-eating race plus you might choke them having so much in your mouths''. The mane 6 says while they each eat their slice of pizza and fries

'' Oh, Roxas can you tell us how did you and Twilight manage to do all those cool moves fighting all those heartless?'' pinkie pie asked.

"By connecting my power with Twilight's we created a combination attack which Is called a Limit break," Roxas explained. 
"In exchange for all of my magic, I combine my power with a partner, and we unleash our combined power.

The stronger my connection with my friends is when using those Limits, the stronger it is to take out Heartless and any other threats against us not only that we even eventually create new limit breaks as well." He draped a wing around Twilight and pulled her closer to him.

"And seeing how close Twilight and I are, you could see just how powerful we can be together. We could take over the world if we were able to!"

The purple unicorn bonked the stallion on the head, giggling at his silly antics. "What are you? a Dictator now or somepony who's just got nuts with power looks like I have to keep his lust for power under control girls, or else he'll blow everything up with us in it".

"I will not be contained for I am UNSTOPPABLE MWAHAHAHA!" As he lifted a hoof while shouting out like a Madman

''Hahaha, you're a real comedian aren't you Roxas''. The mane 6 said laughing at Roxas acting role.

'' Hehe thanks girls and also the soda pop is not half bad the fizziness match well with the aftertaste of the pizza and fries and gives me a sizzling feeling in my body that gets me energize''. Roxas said while taking a sip of his soda.

"It's getting late, you want to go to the usual spot to eat some ice cream?" Roxas asked his friends.

"Sure Roxas" the girls answered.

As they were heading to the barn they started talking about the mysterious figure that appeared in the dark portal.

"Do ya think it was somepony from the organization?"Applejack asked.

"No I dont think so, I don't remember any member with a mask" Roxas answered.

"Then... it was some kind of Heartless" Fluttershy said.

"Could be, but it was a full pony kind type of heartless, that only means that the heartless are starting to consume this world" Roxas said.

"Why do you think that?"Twilight asked.

"The stronger the heartless are, the more than the world is consumed" Roxas said.

"Ohhhh then we have to do something about it" Rainbow dash said.

'' Yeah but for now let's just enjoy the moment." Roxas said.

The group sit down and watched the sunset together, but Roxas couldn't stop thinking about the pony with the mask, and how the heartless invaded the Colosseum. "This world needs warriors or it will perish" he thought.

He was so immersed in himself he didn't realize that the sun was already down.

"Oh men it looks like the sun is going down we should all head home now guys''. Roxas said.

After they all left home, Roxas was in his room taking off his clothes and cloak, shortly after he heard a knock coming from his window and saw that it was Rainbow dash without her clothes on.

'' Rainbow dash I thought you went back home''. Roxas said

'' I did but I want to show you something before I turn in for the day''. Rainbow said

'' Show me something? what is it''? Roxas asked.

'' It's a surprise come on let's go''. Rainbow insisted.

Roxas then decided to go with her and she guided him toward a cloud that was moving slowly but safely toward Ponyville, which luckily didn't was too far from Cloudsdale at that time of the year. 

So they would arrive in a few minutes, but at the least, it would give them enough time to enjoy the last rays of the sunset.

'' So why did you bring me here Rainbow''? Roxas asks her after they landed on the soft cloud.

At that moment Rainbow Dash fell silent as she was unsure whether to say what she wanted to say, but then she reminded herself that she had promised to be braver after the near-death experience that both she, Twilight, Rarity, and Roxas had experienced. 

"Because I... wanted to spend time with you alone...".

" Wow Rainbow I’m honestly kinda surprised to hear you say that''. Roxas said.

Finally, both ponies became silent and stared at each other, with their cheeks blushing red, knowing that words were already superfluous they turn away from each other and just watch the remaining sunset side by side together.

At that moment the cloud, which had gradually decreased its speed, had almost reached its destination and had stopped just above a lake that was next to Ponyville, causing the rays of the sun that was hidden in the sunset to be reflected in it, resulting a romantic atmosphere and creating the perfect moment.

'' Sigh this place where we'll at right now Rainbow it feels so familiar''. Roxas said then started having a flashback.

You know, Riku has changed.

What do you mean?

Well...

You okay?

Sora, let's take the raft and go-- just the two of us!

Huh?

Hehe Just Kidding.

What's gotten into you?

You're the one that's changed, Kairi.

Maybe...

You know, I was a little afraid at first, but now I'm ready.

No matter where I go or what I see, I know I can always come back here.

Right?

Yeah, of course!

That's good.

Sora, don't ever change.

Huh?

I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great.

After seeing another memory of Sora, Roxas regain consciousness he felt something on his right shoulder touching his body when he turn his head he saw Rainbow dash right next to him and sleeping on him.

"Hmph, why do every time I'm with these girls I experience memories of Sora, could they be related to him? Or is it just me that living happy experiences triggers these flashbacks?" Roxas thought.

The pegasus stallion then saw that the last rays of the sunset had vanished and saw that the night skies are coming out so he chose to wake his friend up so they can head home.

"Look at we got here, the mighty Rainbow dash sleeping on my shoulder''.

'' Mmm...Huh...What''. Rainbow said

'' You fall asleep on me while we were watching the sunset together''. Roxas said

'' Ohmygosh Ohmygosh...sorry about that spiky''. Rainbow said with red blushes 

'' No it's okay I don't mind Dashie''. Roxas said

'' Why did you call me Dashie''? Rainbow said flustered while turning her head away

'' You gave me a nickname so I thought I could give you one". Roxas said.

After that, Rainbow moved her head back towards him. The two pegasuses stared at each other once again for a few more moments then instinctively they both began to slowly approach each other until they made their foreheads collide and nuzzle together.

'' OK!... Roxas, would you like to come to my house for a sleepover?'' Rainbow asked directly but nervously at the same time.

'' Huh? What brought this on''? Roxas said

"Nothing Spiky, I just don't want our time together to be over just yet''. Rainbow stated her reason

'' Hmm okay...sure why not, let's do it besides on the bright side I get to experience what it'll be like to sleep with a tough talented prideful girl like you''. Roxas said

'' Oh, ill show you what it means to be tough and prideful... let's see who gets to my House 3-2-1 Go''. Rainbow said while taking a quick step off the cloud and rushing past Roxas at fast lighting rainbow speed

'' What?! Hey, that's Cheating you little sneaker''. Roxas said as he chase after her.

Despite Rainbow's head start Roxas was able to catch up with her in no time, both ponies were neck to neck and side by side trying to best the other in this little race that they were having.

"What? You're impressed that a rookie like me is going to win?" Roxas said.

'' Hah I'm impressed that you were able to catch up with me spiky but you should just give it up little man, cause you're on my turf now and I was built for this kind of terrain and atmosphere with my Flashy moves'' Rainbow said to gloat Roxas. 

'' You are indeed fast Rainbow but the real question is this Are You Hungry''? Roxas asked her.

'' Huh Am I Hungry''? Rainbow dash said.

''  Yeah, cause you're About to eat my Bubble''.  Roxas said and then use some of his keyblade powers to summon air currents that boost him even further ahead of Rainbow dash.

"Hey!!!!" Rainbow dash said.

Roxas arrived first at Rainbow dash home, winner of the race.

'' Looks like the Newbie here is the winner haha didn't expect that did ya''. Roxas said bassing in his victory

'' Hey, you only won because you used your powers to give you an extra boost to reach the Goal''. Rainbow said

'' Yeah but you didn't say that there were any rules we needed to follow when we were racing so this was a no holding back race to get to the finish line''. Roxas said her rebuttal with a mischievous grin.

"Besides I could have won the race without any difficult I just wanted to show off" Roxas said.

'' I...uhh...okay you strike a good point Roxas I'll take 2nd place, but if you are so sure you can beat me without cheating then I challenge you formally to another race''. Rainbow said punching Roxas's arms.

'' Bring it girl anytime and anywhere just let me know so we can work on finding a spot to have another Race match together''. Roxas said while extending his hoof out towards her for a hoof shake

'' Deal''. Rainbow said while taking his hoof and shaking it to agree with this gesture

'' Great now shall we go inside Rainbow Dash?''. Roxas asked.

'' Let's''. Rainbow said

Rainbow and Roxas went inside her home, she guided Roxas to her Bedroom, then as soon as they arrive Roxas and Rainbow started laying down on her bed, Roxas couldn't help but feel relaxed from It. '' Wow Rainbow your bed feels so soft and fluffy, and it makes me feel like I'm at peace with myself''. 

'' Heh, that's because everything in my house is entirely made out of Clouds so that's why"

"But hey, I heard that if you have somepony with you on a cloud bed it makes the experience of sleeping more blissful and being better rested''. Rainbow said as she moved closer to him and wrap him in a hug with her hooves and wings causing Roxas to do the same to her.

A few moments later Roxas pull back a little and say with a huge pink blush on his face.
"Uh... Rainbow can I... try something?"

"Hmph, Sure thing Roxas Go for it". Rainbow said with red blushes as she properly adjusted herself

Roxas started touching her flank, moving his hooves down her backside, and when he felt it was round and in great shape.

"Wow, you must work out a lot Rainbow your flank and cutie mark feels tight, tenderly, well balance toned".

"Thanks for that Spiky it means a lot to me that you're taking a liking to my body...listen Roxas... I want you to kiss me" Rainbow said with heavy pink blushes this time

'' Huh, You...You want a kiss?" Roxas asked blushed and nervous, wanting to confirm what he had heard, even though he was sure of what he heard.

"Y-You’ve kissed half of the girls in our group right, and I... I'm the only one who..." Rainbow Dash started to speak, looking up, showing her blushed face, but is having trouble looking Roxas in the eye.

So nervous that she was unable to finish saying what she thought. 

"I was just saying that I don't want you to treat me differently from the others. That's... that's why... just for that. I... I don't want to feel different I mean, sure, we’re all different from each other. But…we’re all still mares in our way. And that's something I don't want you to forget Roxas and I want to know what this feels like receiving some pony's affection from someone that I trust".

Hearing Rainbow Dash's words made Roxas surprised and thoughtful as his mind tried to find an explanation for what was happening so he gave her this response:

"O-Okay... I'll do it." Roxas finally said, with his face fully blushing.

Hearing that, Rainbow Dash was surprised for a moment, and then she says with tears falling out of her eyes in Roxas's embrace:

'' Thank you for treating me like a real mare and for being here with me Spiky''. After that Rainbow then started to give Roxas a long kiss on his cheek while rubbing and squeezing his mane, body, wings, and flanks in a tight cuddling embrace with her hooves and wings. 

Roxas then gave Rainbow what she wants and kiss her on her cheek as well.

'' Ahh...Ohhh Spiky you're a natural''. Rainbow said as she then starts to kiss giving Roxas cheek's multiple pecks of short kisses.

'' I do''. Roxas said and gives Rainbow Dash multiple kisses on her cheeks and held her even more strongly rubbing and squeezing her Rainbow mane, body, wings, and flanks as they both get lost in their tight blissful soft embrace and have nice calming dreams together

Meanwhile back at the Old Abandon Mansion in the Underground lair.

Namine is in the White room where Sora is located in his Sleeping Pod Chamber and is drawing in her Notepad where she is drawing an Image of Sora and his Nobody Roxas holding hands together for their Reunion.

'' Just hang in there Sora We will find Roxas and bring him back to you so your heart can be completed once again then you and I can fulfill our Promise that we made to each other that once you wake up from your slumber, You will come and find me so we can be Friends for Real not from the base on Lies that I created when I rearrange your Memories of that Closeness to You''. 

Then all of a sudden Sora's Computer Monitor started beeping

'' Huh, what's going on? better run a System Diagnostic Check''. Namine started typing into the Computer.

''System Diagnostic completed test subject's Sora's Memory Restoration is back Online-Commence Connection Link with Sora's Nobody Roxas Memory Restoration at 5%''.

The Door to Sora's Chamber room opened and in came Diz and Riku.

'' Namine do you have any progress so far''? DiZ asked

'' Yes Sora's Memory is coming back we already got 5% of it restored to him this means that Roxas is starting to feel Connected to Sora again and if he experiences more of sora's memories then I will be able to get inside his mind and see what he sees from his point of view then locate the world he is on hiding away from the Organization''. Namine said with a smile

'' Really? that's great finally some good news at least, we got a backup plan to help us find him before our enemies do, so we have a fighting chance to beat them''. Riku said smiling.

'' The memory restoration is weak right now, Roxas's mind still has a strong force to resist me from entering into his head so until we have more memory percentage that can allow me to enter Roxas's Subconscious even if it just for a short amount of time all we can do is wait and continue with Plan A on finding Sora's other half''. Namine said.

"I talk to the king recently, and he said that he's going to begin his spying operation on the organization," Riku said.

"Well if we don't find Roxas by searching in all past worlds that Sora visited, maybe the organization could track him for us" DiZ said.

"What's your plan DiZ?" Riku asked 

"The King is investigating the Organization, if they find the place where Roxas is, he will know, and with that information we send you, to get the subject before them" DiZ explained.

"I get it, but that has to be the last resource right?" Riku asked.

"Of Course, the next plan I got in mind is using Namine to see what Roxas sees," DiZ said.

"Yeah but for that Sora and Roxas must have more than 60% of connection" Riku said.

"Dont worry he will have it soon" DiZ said watching Sora's pod.
