---DAYS EARLIER---
"Has the deed been done" a pony shrouded in shadows asked to his associate
"Yes master, she should be here within the next few days" the other pony said, The voice oddly familiar
"Very well, do you know the status of the others" The shadowed figure asked
"On their way"
"Thank you Soarin'. You've been a big help, but you are to be disposed of now" the shrouded pony said as he called 4 other ponies from the back of him.
"WHAT" Soarin screamed as his other Wonderbolt flight-mates walked up to him and pulled him away
"NO STOP... YOU CANT DO THIS. YOU NEED ME ADERUS, YOU NEED ME MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW"
"Fool"
why's this wonderbolt training camp so far away? its almost like it's holding a secret from everypony, but i guess they dont want tourists banging at the door every 5 seconds Rainbow chuckled to herself. knowing that that is something she would do if she knew the location of the camp before being invited to training
it had been 6 days since the bright rainbow coloured pegasus known as rainbow dash became a wonderbolt trainee. tomorrow she was leaving for camp wonderbolt (as she liked to call it) and today she had to say goodbye to all her friends because the camp is so far away rainbow had to set off that night to be there for morning. she had her route planned out, take the train to canterlot and fly the rest of the way. easy
Pinkie pie had a party planned for early this afternoon so Rainbow could attend so she had all morning to say her goodbyes to her friends. Hm, who first Rainbow quickly thought out a plan in her head. To Fluttershy's house we go!
as rainbow arrived at Fluttershy's door she noticed something off about the house, there were no animals running around. and fluttershy could not be heard from the inside, plus the door was locked.
"Weird" Thought rainbow
Rainbow shrugged it off and headed to her next port of call, the library-tree-house hybrid that is home to Twilight Sparkle
"Twilight? Twiiiiiiliiiight? you home?"
Damn, out again
Rainbow Dash sighed, she wondered where her friends could have gone, knowing that they couldnt leave ponyville without her knowing, but they could just be hiding. Rainbow shrugged it off and deciding that she may be disappointed at her other friends houses she wandered in a random direction, not caring where she was going
--One Hour Later--
"hhhrnnghhgrll" Rainbow tried to cheer herself up by imitating her hunger noises, the only thing it made her do was seem like a person having a seizure in the middle of ponyville park
Rainbow, Overcome by hunger decided to head to sugarcube corner as it was approaching noon and she wanted a couple of cupcakes
(Speaking of cupcakes, the eurobeat mix just came on as i was typing that)
Rainbow dash had completely forgotten about her lack of friends today as she walked into sugarcube corner to hear a large bang, a pink thing in her face and a shout of "Goodbye Rainbow Dash"
The Party
"HOLYSUGARCUBESWHATTHEHELLISGOINGON" Rainbow yelled without breathing or stopping to space out her words
"its your party silly, also, you should breathe.. your turning a weird shade of purple" a bouncing Pinkie Pie answered her rhetorical question
"Oh gosh the party" Rainbow managed to breathe after the massive suprise "I totally forgot about it Pinkie im so sorry".
"Oh thats ok, its fun hiding and waiting to suprise someone. So... you hungry?"
"OH BOY AM I" Rainbow yelled at the thought of delicious treats entering her empty stomach
All of Rainbows best friends were there, aswell as fluttershy's animals, which explains a lot
Rainbow tucked into some cupcakes and relaxed for the rest of the afternoon
Rainbow was flying back to her cloud home when she saw a shadowed figure on her front doorstep.. upon further inspection this was soarin... he looked different though. as if he was ill. upon further inspection (without him noticing) he had scars over his face and body and was frantically looking around for something
"Soarin?" Rainbow asked, looking more than a little shocked at the stallions appearance
"Rainbow dash?... Thank god your here, i thought you'd have already left"
"im going first thing tomorrow morning, whats up?"
"Whatever you do, do not go to that camp"
"Why, you invited me yourself, is this some sort of pr-" rainbow paused.. she knew he wasnt joking due to the look on his face "Come inside quickly, you can tell me in here"
"WHAT" Rainbow screamed as Soarin finished his story "Lemme get this stright. You and the other wonderbolts were working for this man called Aderus? and you were hired to recruit ponies, not knowing what he wanted them for. The other Wonderbolts had been brainwashed by him already but you were risisting while giving off the impression it was working, he asked you to bring me and 3 other pegasi to the camp, then you found out he performs a ritual, but you played along, not knowing how bad it was. when he found out you knew and had not been brainwashed he got the other wonderbolts to throw you into the dungeon, but you found a way to escape and came here to tell me this"
"yeah, you pretty much just summed up what i told you"
"I have to go to this camp"
"What? Rainbow did you not hear what i just told you, yaknow? ritual, evil pony, brainwashing"
"Yeah i heard and thats why i want to go, you mentioned 3 other pegasi right?"
"Yes"
"Well, as you know im the Element of Loyalty, i cant let some of Cloudsdale's finest be sacraficed or whatever by Adarus, Soarin i have to save them"
"I appreciate that Rainbow, but i cant let you do that... Not alone"
"Your coming with?"
"Yes, Just me and you though, we cant have other ponies, especially other Pegasi knowing about Aderus."
"We set off tomorrow then, early start... oh and you will have to stay here, cant have Aderus' Minions finding you"
"I guess... Spare room?"
"Dont have one, you stay in my room tonight, i'll have the couch"
"As long as your Ok with that Rainbow"
"I am, Now lets sleep, we'll need a lot of energy tomorrrow"
Soarin' Agreed and went into rainbow's room while rainbow pulled some blankets over the couch
"Soon Rainbow dash, you and the other pegasi will join me and my army, and if you resist... lets just say i'll have to persuade you"
Aderus unsheathed his sword with his magic
"Soon"
