Rainbow Dash:
I flew as fast as I could as soon I got into the air. I had to catch up to Ashura and that Sider. I had to help Ash, he has helped us so much already. He can't do all if this on his own.
"You know it's funny that you’re going to help someone you don't even know." Moon said flying next to me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked trying to build up more speed.
"I'm stuck with you now sweet cheeks." She said with a laugh. "You know little about him."
"Yeah, so what. He's still my friend and friends help each other. He has helped us, so I have to help him." I said determined to catch up.
"He only helps because all if this is his fault. There something bigger going on here and you know it." I finally saw the two. They were on the ground, Ash running and my dad's Sider was close behind. "Be careful Dash."
"I will gut you, and wear your insides for a coat!" My father's Sider yelled in rage.
"You have to catch me first." Ashura said with a chuckle. Ash stopped running and tripped dad's Sider. He fell to the ground sliding a little on impact. I flew down next to Ashura. He looked at me with a smile.
"Man I'm out of shape, really need stop writing and get some exercise." He said in a huff. My dad's Sider got up and stayed where he was to catch his breath. "Don't feel so good being in reality."
"I will get you!" He yelled stumbling on his hooves.
"Now, now getting light headed. You should breath first, yell later after you heart rate has gone down." Ash said with another laugh.
"I still have power dammit." A rift opened up around him. I saw what looked like shadow coming from the rift. "I should have done this in the first place!"
"Oh well shit. Dashie?" Ash asked looking at me. I looked at him and then back at the rift, and then back to him. "Run!" Both of us turn tailed and ran. I wasn't sure the hell was going on, but I was scared. Really, really scared.
"What's happening?" I asked as we ran away from the sight.
"Oh nothing, exactly what I want to happen." He said with a smile. When he winked at me I knew he had something planned. I just didn't know what, at least yet. In the distance I saw Twilight running in our direction. "Hi Hun, we need to run!"
"What?" Twilight stopped, then I heard a huge explosion.
"Run!" Both Ash and I said. Twilight turned the other way and ran, faster than both of us. I guess when she was told to run she runs.
"Stop!" Ashura said before she stopped, skidding before actually stopping. I stopped almost falling down, Twilight actually fell down. "Now is our chance!" He said, a large amount of wind seemed to pick up, it was really hard to hear.
"What?" I asked him. He gave me an irritated look.
"Now is our chance! You and Moon have to make a Sonic Rain-Boom directly at the void!" Ashura shouted loud enough for me to hear. Twilight went up to him, giving him a hug. She really missed him.
"Alright!" Maybe I'll meet someone like that one day. Someone for me, someone I can have all to my own. Someone who will love me. "Daddy, I love you!"
"Ready?" Moon shouted standing by my side. I looked at her, my Sider is helping me. Did Ashura know this would happen, did he know all that was going to happen? I nodded and the two of us took off into the sky. We flew side by side, I guess I was stuck with her. Although Moon was already a part of me. I grabbed her hoof, and in return she grabbed mine. "Together?"
"Together!" We shot down generating as much speed as we could. My heart was going a mile a minute. I was so scared as I looked at the darkness we were about to plunge into. "Here goes everything!"
ZXexian:
All things in this world play a part. Following the pattern that fate has set out for them. They blindly follow this path with no choice, because it is the perfect path for them. But some things are fixed and some things are flexible. Life and Death are both, some have to die and others can get lucky. Rainbow Dash's story has had its moments of fixed and flexible situations.
I watched as the two now bound beings plunge into the darkness. Blindly following Ashura's guidance, trusting him. Smart and foolish of them to do so. All he has to do to stop this is to follow his fate. A selfish one that idiot is, risking all life to escape his fate. But he has to follow the path he set himself out for. Rainbow Dash will be stuck with another entity inside of her, another personality that she and a select few can see.
All of their friends have been touched by the void. Their paths are laid out for them. They will follow them by making their choices. Because fate is funny like that, lets you choose your path. But fate will always hold the truth of what lies ahead. Not all things that lie ahead are pleasant. Reader, I know you are there. I wish to say just one thing to you.
There is always a better path you can follow. Some that seem bad may lead to a very good thing, and some good may lead to bad. 'Trust what you need and want. To make your dreams a reality you have to chase them first.'
I watched Rainbow Dash's dad die. He has a message for her, and I must deliver it. If I don't, this story may not have the ending you think it will. The explosion of color was my Que. I waited a few seconds, watching the bright colors expand. It was a magnificent sight. Too bad not many will remember it. I started to walk toward the void.
Rainbow Dash:
My whole body was on fire. I felt cold and wet. I forced my eyes opened and saw I was floating in water. No wait, I was standing on water. I looked around and I saw Moon unconscious not far from me.
"Now you’re stuck, you trapped us here!" I heard my father's Sider yell in anger.
"If it means you can't do anymore harm, then that's just fine.” I smiled feeling a little accomplishment, but I was worried. I was hoping Ashura had a plan to get me back. I was really hoping.
“No, you don’t get it stupid girl! There is no way out of here, this place doesn’t exist. We will fade from existence soon enough.” My father’s Sider sat down looking at the darkness above. He kicked at the water below us.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as you can’t harm anyone anymore, then I don’t care what happens to me.” I said still hoping there was a plan. Ashura had to have a plan, he wouldn’t just send me in here blind with no plan right?
“Your friends are here too, that idiot forgot about your friends. I took them from reality, they are in prison inside the void your father was in. They will fade just like we will.” My dad’s Sider said with a laugh. “That’s the best thing out of this, the only good thing.”
“No! Ashura will get me out of here! My friends too!” I yelled at him furious. I felt Moon put her hoof on my shoulder. I looked at her, and he look told me what he was saying was true. Every bit of hope I had died right then and there.
“See, you’re stuck here.” He said looking down. I wasn’t sure what to think. How could Ashura do this, send me in without giving me a choice. I guess it is my fault, I could have stopped and asked or something.
“Nah your good Hun.” I heard a familiar voice say. I turned around and saw a black pony with a fedora. “Want to leave?”
“Ash?” I asked, the pony looked up and it wasn’t Ashura.
“Nope, name is ZXexian. I’m here to help you help yourself.” He said with a serious face. His voice changed from before.
“You’re then one we thought was Ashura at first.” He nodded his head and offered me a smile. My father’s Sider scowled. ZXex’s smile fell into a frown.
“That fucking name Ashura. Drives me god damn insane.” The Sider complained, I rolled my eyes at him.
“What exactly has Ashura done to you, or better yet what has anyone done to you?” I asked him, he looked at me and then looked away.
“I don’t need to explain myself to you.”
“He’s a Sider Rainbow Dash, Siders normally want only death and destruction of everything because they are envious of the beings they unwilling follow. They only no pain and suffering, some say their inferior beings. They don’t normally act in reality.” ZXexian said looking at my father’s Sider with a curious look. Wasn’t quite sure how to describe it.
“Hey, standing right here!” Moon shouted looking insulted.
“My apologize, if it helps I’m not one of them. Because I know the truth of a Sider.”
“He has my friends.” I said looking at ZXex with a worried look. He smiled at me and it took me back a little. Why would he smile at that?
“No, he doesn’t. That was a lie hun, one last thing a cold blinded Sider can do to cause harm to another. A Sider like him cannot become what Moon is. He’s lost and blind, he is here for a reason. Ashura was quite an idiot, but he did know what to do.”
“He said I would fade from reality, is that true?” He smiled at me and shook his head. A great feeling of relief engulfed my whole being. Ashura did have a plan, he didn’t send me in blind. I couldn’t help but smile.
“But there is a problem Rainbow Dash.” My smile disappeared from my face. Problems are never a good sign. He looked at my father’s Sider. “He knows this is the brink of his insanity, it’s true he will fade from existence, but what he will leave behind is far worse than what he was before. A being that could destroy every thread of reality. Leaving nothing in its wake.”
“Is there a way to stop it?” I asked looking at Moon with worry. She had the same exact look I had.
“Yes, but I can’t tell you that. Your friend Twilight can help you with that. All I can do now is get you out of here.” ZXex said with a smile.
“What will be left behind, will it happen if I don’t leave?” I heard myself ask. Wasn’t quite sure why I asked that, but I wanted to know, even if I didn’t as well.
“The process will take longer for it to happen. But no matter what it will happen, if that happens it will leave no chance for anything to survive. We don’t really have choice Rainbow Dash, you have to leave.” I had a feeling he was going to say that. I wish there was a way for this not to happen, but I guess I don’t have a choice.
“How to I get out, and will Moon come with me? I will not leave her here, I don’t abandon my friends.”
“She is a part of you, there is no place she won’t go with you.” ZXexian smiled at the two of us.
“Okay good, so how do we leave?”
“I just have to keep a promise. Rainbow Dash and Moon, Rainbow Blitz is dead and he will not be coming back in any shape or form.” I felt a pain shoot through my whole body. “But he did have a message for you.” I had tears in my eyes that were blinding me.
“What… what is it?” I asked wiping away the tears.
“I know you are strong enough my little Dashie, I am glade to say I will die with no worries. But I do die with much regret. Fight on and live your life my little Dashie, with the friends you made, and don’t make the mistakes I made. Even with the regrets I have I still die with a happy heart. My Little Dashie, I still remember the day you first took into the air; you were so little. My little Dashie, I love you with my entire being.” I felt happy hearing that, but I couldn’t stop the tears. I had a big smile on my face, I felt warm and fuzzy for once in a very long time.
“Thank you ZXexian.” I said as everything went white.
Twilight Sparkle:
“Twilight, I’m sure something is bound to happen. Ouch that really hurt.” Ashura said rubbing his shoulder after I had a tantrum attack on him when he told me he wasn’t sure if Rainbow was dead or alive. I couldn’t stop the tears from coming. I just watched the direction the black void was, just waiting for something, anything to happen.
“How could you send her in like that!” It may have sounded like a question but it really wasn’t. My boyfriend sent one of my best friends into immediate danger with no second thought. All of my friends were missing, for all I knew they could be dead. “Dammit Ash!”
“I’m sorry Twilight, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. But it was the only way, Rainbow Dash had to be the one to do it. It was a fixed, I didn’t have a choice.” He said trying to comfort me. I pushed him away, I felt so angry and so sad. I fell to the ground crying feeling all of my strength leave my body.
“Why is this happening?” I wailed out feeling defeated, all of my friends were gone. The next thing I heard; it was like thunder but much stronger. I looked up and a beam of light was shooting from the ground. The next thing that came out was a huge immense Sonic Rain-boom. That gave me hope, and my heart jumped a few beats when I saw Rainbow and Moon flying together in the air.
“See I told you they were fine.” I heard Ash say. I turned around and hugged the idiot.
“You really are an idiot.” I said with a sniff as I hugged him tighter. “And that is your last I told you so.”
“You’d think, but I doubt it.” He said with a chuckle. Rainbow Dash and Moon flew over to where we were and landed a few feet from us. I ran up to her as quick as I could and tackle hugged the mare.
“I’m so glad you’re alright!” I shouted in glee. The three of us embraced in a hug. I still had tears in my eyes, but instead of them being from sadness and anger they were from happiness and relief.
“Daddy is dead.” Rainbow said with a sad smile. I nodded my head and she still smiled. She turned and looked back at where she flew from. Something didn’t feel right, something felt off.
“When is it going to happen?” Moon asked, Rainbow looked at her and shook her head.
“I have no idea, could be anytime.” She said looking back to where she was before.
“I’m sorry about that Rainbow. I’m glad you made it out fine.” Ashura said, Rainbow Dash looked at him with a smile.
“Don’t play coy with me, you knew I was going to be fine.” She said with a smile and a wink.
“Try telling Twilight that, she nearly tore my arm off of my body.” He said with a chuckle.
“You deserved it.” I said tilting my chin up acting a little like Rarity.
“Wait? You said something is going to happen?” Ash asked Moon. Moon nodded her head and then I felt my whole world shake. I mean literally shake, I lost my balance and fell to the ground where the shaking continued.
“This world will burn!” I heard a dark evil voice screech with a large evil laugh that followed. I watched as a huge dark explosion erupted about twenty meters from where we were standing. The darkness shot out and covered everything.
“Dammit, what is it with this damn Sider!” I heard Ashura yell at he ran toward the explosion.
“Ashura you damn idiot!” I yelled at him as he disappeared.
“What I’m standing right here.” I looked at who said that and he was right. He didn’t move, he was near me, making sure I was fine.
“We have to stop him!” I heard Rainbow yell. It was hard to hear anything with all the wild wind and the world shaking. It felt like the whole world was falling apart.
“Whats going on! Let me out of here, please someone help!” I heard Ashura yell. But when I looked at him he was still by my side. He was looking at me with worry, he had a hoof on his Fedora so it wouldn’t blow away. “Someone please help!”
“I have to end this now!” I heard Rainbow yell before she ran toward the explosion. Moon followed shortly behind her.
“I just want to go home.” I looked at Ashura and his eyes were not his normal color red. They were a dark blue. Once he blinked they were red again. I looked around me and I saw a bunch of shadows. Everything felt frozen, like time had stood still.
“Twilight, we need to stay here. We have to wait for Rainbow to return.” This time it was actually Ashura talking.
“I will never give up!” Again it sounded like Ashura but his mouth didn’t move to the words I was hearing.
“Just stay calm and let Rainbow Dash handle this, this is her story. She is the only one who can finish it.” He always talked like that and I never understand why. I grabbed the idiot and kissed him. Once the kiss was broken we hugged one another waiting. I still kept hearing Ashura’s voice the entire time the darkness surrounded us.
