Twi stepped back suddenly when she saw the sun change color, AJ looked at her and when she noticed Twi was staring up, she also looked up. AJ couldn't look into the sun like Twi but she didn't need to as an image came out of the sun, it was Daybreaker. "PONIES AND CREATURES OF THE WORLD HEAR ME!" Daybreaker's voice ran out, "I am your new queen Daybreaker. As for your old queen Selena well I'm afraid she's a bit..." Daybreaker revealed Selena in statue form, "Preoccupied at the moment, and so it's up to me to take up controlling the sun and moon, however you ponies don't love and accept me but that's fine because the day will last forever!"
Twi heard screaming from the nearby town, the whole world was probably freaking out, Daybreaker laughed as her image vanished and Twi looked at AJ, "We have to go and get the other elements quickly!" Twi tried to fly away but was stopped by AJ biting her tail, "Whoa there!" Twi landed and AJ let go of her tail, "Sorry about that but you seem to be forgetting that I can't fly." Twi smacked her head, "Sorry I completely forgot about that in my panic." She used her magic and summoned a flying chariot, it could easily hold six ponies, "Get in." Twi said hooking herself in, AJ jumped into the chariot and once she was in Twi spread her wings and took off in the sky.
AJ looked over the edge of the chariot she gulped as she saw how far off the ground they were, "Whoa nelly we are really high."
"Relax your safe."
"So where are we going?"
"I'm not sure... maybe that cloud town can help." AJ looked, "That's called Cloudsdale it brings weather to the world." Twi felt a bit uneasy but flew into Cloudsdale anyway, the pegasi stared at her and she felt very uncomfortable, "This was a bad idea, I don't like to be stared at like this..." A rainbow streak flew past them then flew back revealing a light grayish cerulean pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail and moderate cerise eyes, "Hey everypony check this out!"
She yelled before doing some air tricks. The pegasi slowly turned their attention away from Twi. She saw the pegasus pointing in a certain direction and Twi slowly flew towards the way she pointed. She landed far away on a cloud next to a house with a rainbow fountain and the pegasus from earlier came up to them, "Well that worked out perfectly but of course it did because I'm awesome, the name is Rainbow Dash the best flyer in Cloudsdale!"
"Thank you Rainbow Dash I'm Twilight Sparkle and this is Applejack."
"Wow I never seen royalty pull a flying chariot before! Don't you have guards for that?"
"Oh well I was never given guards."
"Seriously your a royal, you got to have royal guards!"
"Well I don't. Sorry if that's a disappointment."
"Hey no worries no disappointment here but hey since I saved you and all can you put in a good word for me?"
"Um... to who?"
"The wonderbolts of course!" Rainbow said getting a poster from her house and showing it to Twi, "The best stunt flyers in the world!"
"Oh yeah I heard about them! Flash Magus himself started them as a military branch but then they created magical lightning and became stunt fliers. Of course this transition didn't happen overnight it took 500 years for them to become stunt fliers."
Both AJ and Rainbow stared at her before Rainbow broke the silence, "Wow you really know your history, are you an egghead?"
"I'm sorry a what?"
"You know a bookworm."
"If your asking if I read I do, have since I was a filly." Rainbow chuckled, "Oh my gosh a royal egghead, that is priceless!" She then started to laugh like crazy. "Uh you do realize your laughing at royalty and your ticket into the wonderbolts?" AJ asked bluntly, Rainbow stopped laughing and sat straight up, "I mean it's awesome that your so well read!"
"Wow you changed your tone in ten seconds flat."
"What are you saying? I am totally into your book reading."
Twi didn't look impressed, "Uh huh..." Twi was glad the element of honesty was given to AJ... "You suck at lying." Rainbow chuckled as she rubbed her leg, "Yeah I know but are we still good?" Twi sighed at the puppy eyed look Rainbow was giving her, "Yes we are still good."
"Yes awesome! I got a royal blessing because I'm awesome." Rainbow said dancing in the sky, Twi just watched her, "Well she's very brave... wait could she be..." She was interrupted by Rainbow flying in her face again, "You got to go talk to the wonderbolts now!" Got to test this pony, could be another element holder... "What about what Daybreaker said earlier?"
Rainbow sighed still flying in place, "What she said really bummed me out, I mean us weather ponies have to work overtime to make enough rain to last during the coming drought that will happen in the future, it's a lot of work but I'm loyal to Equestria first and foremost, even if I have to work all year to do it!" Twi saw Rainbow glowing yellow. The crystal next to orange was lightly glowing as well, Twi touched Rainbow and the bright light happened again. When it was over Rainbow's wings had gold protectors on them with yellow lighting bolts in the middle where her wing bended, Rainbow noticed them, "These... are... AWESOME!"
Rainbow tested them out and she flew so much faster, "What are these things?"
"An element of harmony, bravery has become loyalty!"
"Sweet I got the pillar Flash Magus of bravery!"
"Well technically it was remade into the element of loyalty..." Rainbow was moving her wings making her gems sparkle, "So awesome!"
"And she's not listening..." Rainbow ran into Eternity who just showed up, "Ouch... Whoa who are you and where did you come from?"
"I'm Dark Eternity and I'm here to make a deal..." Twi stood in front of Rainbow, "Oh no I'm not letting you scar yet another pony." Eternity looked at a very confused Rainbow.
"Rainbow Dash was it? How would you like to become captain of the best flight team in the world?" Rainbow flew around Twi looking excited at Eternity, "You can make me captain of the wonderbolts?!"
"Not exactly, shadowbolts front and center!" Three pegasi flew next to Eternity, "Behold Rainbow Dash you can become captain of my shadowbolts all you have to do is hand over your new element to me." Rainbow looked at them, "How do I know their more awesome then the wonderbolts?"
"Shadowbolts show them your stunts." They took off doing awesome stunts, some were even dangerous. Then they landed when they were done.
"That was twenty percent cooler then anything I've ever seen!"
"So what do you say, being captain is better then being just another stunt flyer." Rainbow looked at Twi then at the team, "Being captain is awesome and all but I don't know them and I definitely don't know you so I have to decline." The shadowbolts flew off as Eternity became angry, "Fine then force it is." His eyes glowed but Rainbow was faster making a tornado that dragged him in then flew away from Cloudsdale, "I... Will... Be... Back!" Eternity yelled and Rainbow scoffed at him, "Not cool." Twi hugged her, "Oh Rainbow thank you for choosing us."
Rainbow chuckled nervously, "I don't usually do hugs but for you I'll make an exception." Twi stopped hugging her, "Sorry about that but you also barely know us, why side with us?"
"Because I never leave my friends hanging and you two are my friends, they weren't."
"You two are my first female friends."
"Wait first female friends do you have a male friend?"
"I had one male friend, he and I used to play together when we were kids but now... Now I barely recognize him."
"Did he die?"
"No... He's just not the same pony anymore and losing him was hard. Hopefully when this journey is over I can get him back, now let's go find the other elements."
AJ who was still in the chariot scooted over to make room, Rainbow watched as Twi hooked herself back up to the chariot, "Get in Dash we need to go."
"I can fly."
"Please just get in, I also need a new location to go to."
"Oh how about Canterlot? Plenty of ponies there." Rainbow pointed towards the location before getting in the chariot, "I can still fly there faster." Twi chuckled as she took off back into the sky, "Sorry Dash but guardians have to stick together."
"I'm a guardian now? That is awesome!"
"Dash you haven't changed one bit." Twi quickly looked back at them, "Wait you two knew each other?"
"We did before Dash moved here, it all started with her doing a sonic rainboom..."
