"Well, well, well," Flim said, looking down at the purple haired woman climbing up the rope, "It appears we have a fighter."
"Let her fight, she'll never make it up, she's about as frail as they get. You know, besides the shy one," Flam replied, laughing a sarcastic little laugh. However, the laughter was short lived for as soon as he started laughing, there was a high heel planted in his jaw, Rarity having flipped over from under the flying vehicle.
"So I'm frail, huh?" Rarity asked mockingly, "That's a good one!" She pressed the button with an arrow pointing down, assuming that that would lower the claw, which, surprisingly it did. For being brilliant inventors, they were pretty bad at labelling buttons. Then again, they probably weren't expecting this to happen.
"Rarity! Get down here so I can get ahead!" Applejack called from below, driving at pace with the plane.
"Sorry dearie, but I've got something I have to do! Go ahead!" Rarity called before she was tackled by Flim.
"So, you think you can waltz right into our plane and meddle with our meddling? You've got another thing coming!" he said, holding her down on top of Flam.
"Why yes, I think I can, oh, by the way, we're falling," Rarity said, everything going according to plan. The plane was falling, the landing would result in a crash. Applejack was far ahead at this point, already crossing the first lap, unaware of what was happening. "Well Applejack, you're welcome, win this race for me."
Flim ran over to the controls, trying to land the thing properly, however they were too low, they would have crashed regardless. Flam was unconcious and Rarity closed her eyes, preparing for the worst, hoping for the best.
The plane crashed, grinding against the pavement, the entire thing dented and beat up, the impact of the crash, although a low altitude, was very strong. The girls and even the villians gasped at the sight of it, it was pretty bad.
Applejack turned the corner and stopped with a screeching halt at the wreckage, her mouth opened wide in shock. What just happened? The PA came on and there was silence for a moment, "Due to the recent events in the race, we shall call Applejack the winner. Medical help will be on the way to see to those that were involved. We here in Appleloosa wish for the best, congratulations to Applejack. All those who wish may stay, however you are not to go on the track unless you are friends or family of those involved."
The girls instantly ran down, going and hugging their friend, hoping she was okay, hoping Rarity was okay, hoping even the Flim Flam Brothers were okay. The events too much to handle or process at once. Discord popped in in a poof of smoke, "Well, this was a.... Surprising turn of events," he said, twirling his beard with his finger, "Congrats on your win, however, once again, this is not over. They would have won if not for this crash."
"We don't want ta hear it Discord," Applejack said, crossing her arms, not wanting to be bothered.
"Fine, have it your way, I'll meet you all in Cloudsdale," he said, going off again in another poof of smoke.
Braeburn came running over to the crash, waving hi to his cousin as he passed. He was going to help the medical team by moving wreckage and the like. Little Strongheart working with the medical team, using herbs and other medicinal plants that her tribes have used for generations.
Then they saw them, Rarity, Flim, and Flam being carried to an ambulance on a stretcher. There were no hospitals in Appleloosa, however Princess Celestia made sure that there would be medical help in every town there would be a race. She was very prepared.
The girls got a good look at the three, Rarity was unconcious, her arm and face a bit bloody. Her hair was messed up, that would make her scream if she were still concious. Her dress was a bit tattered and one of her heels were off. The Flim Flam brothers were no different, between torn hats to bleeding legs and torsos. However, due to not being covered, there were no deaths. The girls made it a point to go visit them after. All of them.
