//------------------------------// // cap 2 "The Ice Pony" // Story: Rainbow Dash the One Punch Mare // by One Dashie //------------------------------// 5 months ago... After her friends left her house, Rainbow Dash fell asleep, she hadn't slept that night, and hadn't slept very well in the previous days, but that moment didn't last long, when she woke up hearing a scream. "RAINBOW DASH!!!!!" shouted Pinkie Pie, next to Rainbow. Rainbow Dash sighed and faced Pinkie Pie "what do you want Pinkie?" asked Rainbow despondent and frustrated, she wasn't in a good position to deal with Pinkie Pie being... Pinkie Pie. "you really need to come with me, because we have something very, very, very, very special that will cheer you up!" Pinkie exclaimed, smiling. "no" Rainbow said, closing her eyes to sleep again. Pinkie Pie frowned. "this isn't the super awesome and cool Rainbow Dash that I know, she would never get discouraged like that just because she hurt her wings, she would get up and move on!" Pinkie got up and approached the door, Rainbow also got up and followed her, making Pinkie Pie smile "let's go!" said Pinkie Pie smiling. The two left the room, and went to the front door, when Pinkie walked through the door, Rainbow Dash closed and locked it, and then went back to her room without saying anything. "Dash? Are you getting ready?...Dash?" Pinkie's voice could be heard outside the house, receiving no answers. At the time... Rainbow Dash was feeding her turtle, Tank, Rainbow Dash loved that turtle, who was the one she spent the most time with since she decided to become a hero for fun. "here, eat everything Tank" said Rainbow Dash smiling slightly when she saw Tank eat. While Tank was eating, Rainbow Dash picked up a book that was next to his bed, it was called "Daring Doo and the Infinite Rainbow" in this book Daring Doo enters a cave and sees several engravings written in an unknown language and there were several drawings of creatures, some were known, like ponies, but others were unknown, but they all had something with the colors of the rainbow, mane, fur and even clothes, and there was also a design of the infinity symbol, which also had the colors of the rainbow -iris. “wow, what a mystery, but for some reason it all seems familiar to me” thought Rainbow while reading the book. Mean while... The stallion with white fur and purple mane was still walking around Ponyville, some mares were watching him, finding him attractive... some stallions too, so he started asking questions to the inhabitants of Ponyville. "Have you seen any unusual creatures in Ponyville lately?" asked the stallion. “No, but it's not like I stray too far from town very often,” Cheerilee replied. 5 minutes later... "Ma'am, have you heard about mysterious creatures near Ponyville?" asked the stallion of an elderly mare. "... what?" asked Grandma Smith, unable to hear what the stallion was saying. 20 minutes later. "Have you guys ever heard of mysterious creatures near Ponyville?" asked the stallion of three fillies. "we heard some rumors at school that some really big monsters were found dead near Ponyville" Scootaloo replied. "but we don't know if it's true" said Sweetie Belle. “our sisters won’t let us go there and see” said Apple Bloom with her front paws crossed. "hmm... thank you very much" said the stallion, walking away. The three fillies watched the stallion walk away, after a few seconds Scootaloo said. "who was that guy?" Scootaloo asked. “I have no idea” asked Sweetie Belle. "but for some reason it suddenly got cold" said Apple Bloom feeling like it was cold. Mean While... Applejack was in her room, resting after a hard day of work, since her brother got hurt she worked a lot harder than usual, it wasn't the first time Big Machintosh got hurt working, but this time it was a much harder time , luckily that day was the calmest she had in two weeks, thanks to Rainbow Dash, she was still curious to know how she could lift so much weight with ease, or how she finished the tasks she had so quickly, but she was also very tired in to insist. "What are you doing, Dash?" Applejack thought, then she saw a photo that was on a table in her room, it was a photo of Applejack and her friends, Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Pie Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. In the last few months she often looked at this photo, remembering the moments when they argued, competed, talked and the adventures they had, the good times and the bad, but 6 months ago everything changed. 6 months ago... "Aj, want to see my new moves?" Said Rainbow Dash, as she flew near Applejack. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were not in the orchard, Applejack was carrying a bucket full of apples in her teeth, she placed it on the ground so she could talk to Rainbow. "sorry Sugar Cube, but I'm busy" Applejack replied. "but I'm thinking of a super awesome move! You need to see it!" said Rainbow. "no, now I need to work, these apples won't be picked alone" said Applejack. "but Applejack, I need someone to evaluate my skills, it's for a competition, and the prize is that whoever wins will be able to fly with the Wonder Bolts!" Rainbow exclaimed, smiling. "look, I think it's cool to see you floating, but I'm not exactly someone who has the ability to analyze your flying abilities, I'm an Earth pony after all, and I don't usually see many other pegasi doing tricks with you, you could ask Scootaloo or Fluttershy to judge her," Applejack suggested. "Scootaloo says everything I do is amazing, and that's an absolute truth, but I need someone a little more critical, Fluttershy is almost the same, she'll say I did well, and if she thinks of any criticism, Either she doesn't. She doesn't talk, or she tries to soften it up," Rainbow Dash explained. "ok, may I know why it's me out of all the ponies and creatures in Equestria?" — Applejack asked curiously. “I think your opinion is worth more” said Rainbow Dash smiling. Applejack was silent for a few seconds, staring at Rainbow Dash. "ok, wait until I'm done and I'll help you" said Applejack, picking up the bucket of apples with her teeth and continuing her work. 3 hours later... Applejack had finished her chores and now she and Rainbow were in a more distant field. "wow, that took a while" said Rainbow Dash, a little annoyed at how long she had to wait. "Hey, I said I was busy, I'm really tired because I had to finish everything as quickly as possible, so stop complaining and start doing your tricks" said Applejack irritated and tired. Rainbow Dash began to fly, and did many aerial maneuvers while Applejack watched, as she had already told Rainbow, she is not an expert on the subject to judge whether Rainbow was doing well or not, point out mistakes, she was just an Earth pony, but she enjoyed flying with Rainbow and thought she was doing well. "and I call it the Infinite Rainbow" said Rainbow Dash before flying at high speed, leaving a rainbow trail, and with two speeds the trails formed the infinity symbol. After finishing her trick, she approached Applejack as she smiled. "what do you think?" Rainbow asked smiling. "it was good" Applejack replied not knowing how to describe it. Rainbow stopped smiling. "good?" Rainbow asked with a raised eyebrow. "yes" replied Applejack confused. "just good?" Rainbow said, looking offended. "ehhh... yes?" Applejack replied nervously. "good is not enough!" exclaimed Rainbow flying upwards. Rainbow Dash continued for another hour, trying various moves, but Applejack kept giving simple answers like: "it was cool" "it was good" "I liked it" and others, Rainbow Dash fell to the floor, tired and panting, her body hurt, especially on the wings. “sucarcube, that's enough for today, I have to go home and rest, and you're very tired” Applejack said worriedly when she saw Raiinbow Dash's condition. "no, not yet, it's still not enough" said Rainbow Dash trying to get up. "I already told you that I'm not good at analyzing and judging your flying performance, you don't need to take my answers so seriously" said Applejack with a hoof on Rainbow's head. "no, I'm going to try one more maneuver" said Rainbow, managing to get up. "you're already exhausted, I may not be an expert on pegasi and flying things, but I don't think it's good to try too hard" said Applejack, irritated by Rainbow's stubbornness. "Just one more move..." Rainbow began to fly slowly "A Double Sonic Rainbow!" Rainbow exclaimed. Upon hearing this, Applejack became even more worried. "Rainbow, stop it! You're going to hurt yourself! Your wings are already tired, one Sonic Rainbow is your limit!" shouted Applejack trying to stop her friend from doing something crazy. Rainbow Dash smiled confidently and said. “I have no limits” said Rainbow Dash before taking off into the sky. "oh no..." Applejack thought worriedly. Rainbow kept flying, faster and faster, her body was begging her to stop, her wings hurt like hell, but she managed. *bang!* She managed to perform the first Sonic Rainboom, but it wasn't finished yet, she wanted to continue, break those damn limits, she kept flying faster and faster, even though she couldn't breathe, even though she was crying in pain, she kept trying to break her limits. ...but I ended up breaking something else. *crack* The last thing Rainbow Dash heard before feeling a strong impact was someone shouting her name. "RAINBOW DASH!!!" In the present... The mysterious stallion walked through the streets, until a mare with a yellow coat and pink mane collided with him. "Are you okay, miss?" asked the stallion. "yes, oh, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry" Fluttershy replied, standing up. "Could you tell me why?" asked the curious stallion. “I need to talk to my friend Twilight, I found animals in the forest that looked like they had all their blood sucked out” Fluttershy explained desperate and scared by what she saw. "Miss, could you tell me where this forest is?" asked the stallion seriously. "stay there" Fluttershy pointed to the forest with her hoof and decided to ask "who are you?" "my name is Ice Wings" the stallion introduced himself. About this... There were several dead animals, their skin, bones and fur had been reduced, someone or something had drained all their blood. “Wow, I'm still hungry, I need to look for more food, this city will be enough for today, I love pony blood” this was said by a mare with the characteristics of a mosquito, she had white fur, she had blood colored eyes, she had claws on her hooves she had wings, but not like those of a pegasus they were mosquito wings, her mane was white, and on her head there was something, perhaps a helmet that resembled the head of a mosquito. Name: Mosquito Mare. Threat level: Tiger. Several mosquitoes approached. "go my friends, bring me more blood!" shouted the mosquito pony. Mosquitoes fanned out in search of more blood. About this... Applejack was looking at some photos that reminded her of good times with her friends, especially Rainbow Dash. “those were good times that never come back” thought Applejack smiling. Then she found some photos that made her laugh. The first photo was of Applejack sleeping under a tree. The second photo was taken shortly after, where Rainbow Dash appears with a rain cloud while smiling. The third photo is of Rainbow Dash using the rain cloud to wet Applejack. The fourth is of a Rainbow Dash with a black eye and bruises on her body. Applejack laughed a lot at this, and was happy that Scootaloo took these photos, then Applejack turned the page, and was annoyed that Apple Bloomter took THAT photo, it was a photo of Applejack and Rainbow Dash sleeping after a competition of who could drink the most apple cider. apple, in this photo they were sleeping holding each other. "I swear to Celestia that one day I will.." before Applejack could finish, someone knocks on her door. Knock knock knock "Enter Big Machintosh" said Applejack knowing who it would be. Big Mac opened the door and entered the room, before he could say anything, Applejack responded. “I knew it was you because Apple Bloom wouldn't have knocked on the door and Grandma would have said something” Applejack replied, smiling because she knew her family. Big Mac approached with difficulty. "how are you doing?" asked Applejack looking at Big Mac's injured and bandaged leg. "I will survive," Big Mac replied. They were silent for seconds, Big Mac stared at Applejack, he knew something was wrong, and he already had in mind what it could be. "okay, I'm thinking about Rainbow Dash... again, she's never been the same since the accident, despite having recovered, she's increasingly distant, and today when she came to help me I ended up remembering the good times .. . . and what good times ended because of me" Applejack explained despondently. Big Machintosh hugged his little sister. "Big Mac..." "Hmm" "this is my fault?" "no" "could I have made her stop before she got hurt?" "no" "She hates me?" "no" "you are smart?" "no... hey, wait" "hahahahaha!" Applejack laughed. Big Mac took Applejack's hat and lowered the brim. "sorry, I was just kidding...thank you very much" said Applejack adjusting her hat. Big Mac smiled and left the room, Applejack smiled and looked out the window thinking "what is that feathered head doing?". Mean while... *Boom!* Rainbow Dash was in the middle of a crater, with a serious and furious expression, with her hooves together and with veins pulsing on her forehead, she said in a low tone. “Now I got you” said Rainbow Dash. Then Rainbow Dash heard a buzzing sound, it was a mosquito that had entered her house while she was napping, and she couldn't sleep because of that annoying noise, and even after 20 minutes she still couldn't kill it. "damn mosquito..." said Rainbow gritting her teeth. Mean while... Mosquito Mare flew away waiting for her mosquito army to come back for more blood, but she suddenly felt the weather turning cold. "Why is it suddenly so cold?" Mosquito Mare asked herself in confusion. "Freeze" Mosquito Mare had to dodge a blast of freezing air, several trees froze. "what?" Mosquito Mare looked around in confusion before spotting the person responsible. It was Icewings. “I see that you are Mosquito Mare, I have heard of you, you control mosquitoes that suck blood from creatures, if I eliminate you the mosquitoes will return to normal” said Ice Wings facing Mosquito Mare. Mosquito Mare smiled and called out his mosquito army. "please, darlings, destroy this poor idiot" said Mosquito Mare smiling. Part of the Mare Mosquito swarm headed towards the Icewings, but with the flapping of its wings it created a wind that froze the mosquitoes, surprising the Mare Mosquito. “I will have to eliminate her as quickly as possible,” said Ice Wings, flying towards Mosquito Mare at high speed. Mosquito Mare dodged and sent more of his swarm surrounding Ice Wings, but when he flapped his wings, they were all frozen, Ice Wings realized that Mosquito Mare had used them as a distraction, and before he could look for her, he felt a severe pain in his back, and then he fell, fortunately he managed to recover and fly again, Mosquito Mare had made a cut in his back, using one of his claws. “Your blood is cold, you are literally a cold-blooded pony” said Mosquito Girl licking the blood that was on her claw. Ice Wings propels himself at high speed, heading towards Mosquito Mare, she dodges, but Ice Wings was already prepared. "Ice Hit" said Ice Wings before her hoof glowed and hit Mosquito Mare. Mosquito Mare used one of her legs to block the attack, but it was strong enough to make her collide with the ground, causing a small crater. "damn" said Mosquito Mare in pain, and seeing his injured and frozen leg. Mosquito Mare flies again facing Ice Wings. "who is this guy anyway? He's going to kill me if I don't do something... I know" thought Mosquito Mare smiling after having an idea. She took to the skies and called out the rest of her swarm of mosquitoes. "Come my friends, give me all the precious blood you have collected!" exclaimed Mosquito Mare being surrounded by her swarm. “there are many, these mosquitoes could easily suck all the blood from the inhabitants of Ponyville in minutes, I have to eliminate her as quickly as possible” said Ice Wings, preparing a new attack. "GET BACK HERE, DAMN IT!" Ice Wings looked back and saw a pegasus with a rainbow-colored mane and cyan fur chasing a mosquito. "YOU AND I ARE NOT FINISHING YET!!!!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed angrily. "who is this idiot?" Ice Wings thought as he watched the scene. The mosquito entered Rainboe Dash's mouth and he quickly spat it out. "that's disgusting, it went in my mouth!" Rainbow said as she spit to try and get the taste of the mosquito out of her mouth. Rainbow then looked up and saw what appeared to be a black sphere forming, until she realized what it was made of. “are they... mosquitoes!?” Rainbow exclaimed in surprise. “Miss, please get out of here, this swarm is conscious, if they see you they will attack you” explained Ice Wings. Upon hearing this, Rainbow Dash became worried. "that's bad... we should..." Rainbow tried to say something, but was interrupted by a laugh. "HAHA HA!" The swarm began to disperse, but all the mosquitoes froze, as did the surrounding area. "fortunately there were no more living beings within 200 meters... wait, that mare could..." thought Ice worriedly as he remembered Rainbow Dash. “Wow, you saved me, that was amazing” said Rainbow smiling in relief behind Ice. Ice watched in shock, wondering how Rainbow Dash was unharmed after the attack and seemed unaffected by the subzero temperature in the area. "Hahahahaha! You idiots... after all, I don't need my helpers anymore..." said Mosquito Mare, she was different, her body was now red, and her mane was pink, so she moved one of her front paws and destroyed several trees "NOTICE HOW STRONG I HAVE BECOME!!!" exclaimed Mosquito Mare smiling. Name: Mosquito Mare Threat level: demon. Ice was worried, Mosquito Mare in the blink of an eye appeared behind Ice, and using her claws made a cut on his back, making Ice grunt in pain, he tried to hit her with a punch, but Mosquito Mare hit him with a blow. strong enough for Ice Wings to fly, then Mosquito Mare hit him several times at high speed while laughing. "What's the matter, little pony? Can't kill a mosquito?" asked Mosquito Mare smiling. "so this is the end... I can't beat her, my last option is to destroy myself with the glacial blast, everyone forgive me, but... I failed..." thought Ice as he prepared his finishing move. Mosquito Mare was about to decapitate Ice Wings, but before any of them could do anything. *SLAPS* *BOOM!!!* Ice Wings watched in shock as Mosquito Girl's body flew at high speed and disappearing from sight, Rainbow Dash hit her with a slap. "stupid mosquitoes" said Rainbow happy that it was all over. Rainbow Dash was about to go home, but she stopped when she heard a voice. "wait a minute!" Rainbow turned around and saw Ice Wings injured on the ground. “tell me your name...” Ice Wings asked trying to remain conscious. "Rainbow Dash" Rainbow introduced herself. "Rainbow Dash..." was all Ice Wings managed to say before she passed out.
