//------------------------------// // New home. New world. // Story: Wish // by Coco-loco //------------------------------// What I don't get is why Fluttershy was put into bad. She is the kindest, most understanding, fearful, others first, caring person I've ever met. Her coy is control over animals, how is that in anyway evil. I mean Pinkies coy was scarier, I mean funny but scary. I don't know anything about this other girl, Twilight. I mean I was out and missed what her coy was, she won't tell me either. But here we are entering the gates of, in any words, hell! Fluttershy is freaking out under the seat, Twi is spacing out, and I'm going between staring at this creepy school and trying to get Fluttershy out from under the seat. I'm not very successful though. She doesn't budge, just mumbles something along the lines of 'where am I and when did I fall asleep into this nightmare?' I’m starting to agree. "Everyone out!" Barks a very small man that doesn't fit his deep loud voice. Fluttershy is still scared of him though. We get out, "this a school for destructive or dangerous coyable people, like you. You will be taught to control and use your coys for the Army," now I'm freaking out, completely, I go from dizzy to crying on my knees,not really. I can't join the army! "You will learn to use your coys to the advantages that the General needs. You will train to join and fight in upcoming wars. Any questions?" "Um, sir?" "Yes miss..." He checks his clipboard. "Fluttershy?" "Do we have to kill people? Or anything for that matter? You know if you don’t mind me asking." "During training instead of killing people you will be practicing on animals." She faints, I react in time to catch her and glare at new Mr. Emotionless. "Any other questions?" he growls. "How soon are we going to learn to be using our coys? Is there going to be a test to see how well you can control it?" asks the only boy from the crowd. "Yes there will be a test, you will learn after we know your level." "How protected are the judges going to be from our coys?" I ask, hopefully they have any type of emotion and care about their judges lives! "They won't be." I almost drop Shy at that one. "WHAT! YOU CAN'T PUT ME IN A ROOM WHERE I MIGHT POSSIBLY KILL SOMEONE! I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH MYSELF!" I shriek resiting the urge to throw the limp Fluttershy at him. "Calm down Miss..." Checks his clipboard for my name. "Dash. If you kill one, so what, you are now in training for the army, you kill people all the time. Judges can be replaced," my turn, I faint. I don’t know what kind of messed person would say that and I don’t want to listen. Me and Shy hit the ground hard! ------------------------------------------ "Yeah I know my special talent is animals but why would I kill one if I can tell it to leave whoever it is alone? I mean I'm a vegetarian," I hear Fluttershy say quietly. "I know but you’ll have to. Hey, maybe you could tell all the animals to run away or something. You know, before they can be killed," comes Twilight's voice. "Good morning." I say while stretching and opening my eyes. When I look out the window and it's midnight, "or good night?" "If you didn't notice we came in and it was night. It's always night." Twi says in a know-it-all voice. "This is like living in a nightmare!“ Fluttershy adds. "This building is actually very interesting. It's over 30 years old with a even more interesting history. Wars, and significant learner have all been inside of here. Even some people who sneak in from good or out from bad like a Romeo and Juliet tale." Blah blah blah. If I'd known you were smart I would have stopped listening. One thing she says does catch my attention. "So how exactly did they sneak out? Or in?" She sighs. "Only half of them got out the other half was cut off on the inside. You can only get in from the good. If you're good its possible for you to get in but there's no chance of a bad getting out. Sorry Romeo," Romeo? Oh she's calling me Romeo, duh! "Could we contact someone on the outside." "One month." "One month?" "In one month you will be allowed to send mail out. Now we have our exams in the morning-” she pauses, “I would like to study or practice," she stands up and walks out with me and Shy following her. "So can either of you tell me what Twilights coy is?" She looks at me with raised eyebrows and learns I’m not lying. "I'll show you. I warn you to stand back though when we get to the training area." I nod in agreement so does Shy. She giggles lightly. ---------------------------------- It's huge. I'm serious the training ground is huge. Pillars and hills rise up out of the ground and different weapons and items are scattered around. But what I really notice is that everything is in one big open space! Yes, I’m still on that! “Ok sit over there!” Twilight points us to a bench so we can watch. Twilight stands in front of us, takes a deep breath, and spreads her hands out so they’re closer near the elbows. She starts waving her hands in front of her face and tapping her feet in some kind of dance. Inside a sparkly purple glow, tiny stars start surrounding her. Almost like ribbons they form around her body and she floats up, hands near her sides pointing down, legs spread a little, and one knee up. They completely consume her body and turn her into a Twilight shaped glow. She comes back down on one knee and her hands swept behind her back. She stands up and her hands come forward holding a sword like object. Her outfit is a white frilly bottomed dress that goes down to her thighs with a brown belt that has a gold star on it. She has a short sleeve purple coat that has white on the end of the sleeves and the collar. Clipping her coat together was a star, the same as on her belt, with little strings with stars at the tip coming out the bottom. “Now Rainbow if you really want know what my coy is I need you to use yours,” she smirks making my eyes go wide and my hands frantically shake no. “W-what!?!” she grins knowingly. “Go on, use it! I already know more about your coy then you do! I think I could beat you,” she mocks. “Know more about my coy? What do you know?” She sits down on the bench and I sit in front of her. “Your coy isn’t lightning gun!” My eyes go wide, how is it not? “Its control of all and any electricity.” “What!?” If I were to name any place I would hate and get more surprises than in this place, well, I couldn’t. “Your coy is control of all and any electricity,” she repeats oblivious to my confusion. “How do you even know if that is true?” “Because its part of my coy!” Out of nowhere she pulls a blue book and turns it to a seemingly random page. She hands me the book and the page is titled ‘Rainbow Dash’ “You r-read this?” I ask looking at the page and what it said. It had from my biggest mistake to my greatest memory, my hand absentmindedly touches my lips. “Can I borrow this?” “Um, no! I didn’t read anything other than about your coy, the one I’ve seen.” she says calmly. “I promise to give it back tomorrow and I will only look at six people!” I smiled innocently and gave Twilight puppy dog eyes. Holding the book close to my chest with a sniffle I say as cute as possible, “Pwease!” “Eh oh, fine but only those six people!” My face erupted with a smile and I jump into the air yelling, “Yes!!!” I was about to run out to go look at until I remembered something. “Fine, but if you can’t stop it in time... you better not put a death on my hands!” Twilight uncrossed her arms and smiled at me. “Great!” She pulled her sword out of the same place she pulled the book, nowhere. “Ready?” I hand the book to Fluttershy, “ready!” When I’m at my ten feet in the air mark I start thinking about what Twilight told me, electricity? So instead of faking a gun with one hand I use two. The power I feel is unbelieveable. Its truly exhilarating! I connect my hands, point them down, and jump! I do a back flipping and pointing my hands right at Twilight and fire! My veins glow as the electricity rushes through them and the rooms seems to go dark as it fires. At firsts theres nothing in the darkness and I think it didn’t work, then theres a lightning bolt is flying straight towards Twilight. It seems like, at first, she won’t react fast enough. Her sword swings turning into a bat and hits it back to me right on time. The lights flicker back on and the moment they do I form a ball. Floating up in the air is tinyme ball. The lights start flickering and my veins start glowing again. I burst out grab the lightning right as its about to hit me. It absorbs into my skin and I can feel the energy moving around. I start running. I go so fast Twilight loses sight of me the second I move. I twist in the air and kick Twilight right in the back. She goes flying into a face plant on the ground. Now it may seem like I finally figured out how to control my coy but truth is I’m not in control at all. I’m probably going to kill Twilight and have no control whatsoever over it. The lights start flickering faster and faster until they go out and a thin stream of sky blue light flows out of them towards me. It felt like two thick knives in my back, piercing and connecting with the burning hot energy in my veins. The pain was almost unbearable. I start fall six feet towards the ground, my back in extreme pain and my veins burning. When I say my veins I mean all of them and it hurts. I hit the ground and suddenly it all stops. I get up aching and stretch, I reached and touched the bottom of my back checking for blood, none there. Also my shirt seemed to have been torn off. I pick it up and look at it, torn from the inside out on the back side. “Oh my god! Rainbow Dash! What did you do?!” I hear Fluttershy yell. “Rainbow Dash?!” Twilight stood up and stretched, not facing me yet. “How did you do tha-” The second she looks at me she stops talking and stares in awe. I’m pretty sure her jaw was on the floor and elephant ears would be jealous of the size of her eyes. “Hehe!” It started out as little giggles then went into a full blown laughter. “F-Fluttershy stop pl-please!” I say between fits as she tickles me. I couldn’t put my figure on it but she wasn’t tickling anywhere I had felt before. Then it felt like something had swat her hand and I felt something on the back of my legs, wind? “Ow, Rainbow that hurt!” She whimpers behind me. “I’m sorry!” I say turning around to see her when something moving with me catches my eye. “What was that?” “You can’t feel them?” “Feel who? Twilight what are you talking about?” I turn to face Twilight and there it was again. “Rainbow Dash I think you might have given yourself a pain of... blue...” “Spit it out Twilight!!!” I yell starting to feel like I’m chasing my tail. “You gave your self wings!”
