At the top of her assent she stopped and looked down. It was hundreds of feet to the ground below, the air was thin and she shivered as the cold temperature got to her. Rainbow Dash took a deep breath and dove nose-first toward the unforgiving ground. The scenery began to blur around her, her eyes watered and the wind pushed back with all its might, but it couldn't win. With the cone of air slowly fading into a rainbow of color, she knew she was close. KABOOM The shock wave flew outward as she broke the barrier. Meanwhile, on the ground, that shock wave rumbled the town of Ponyville. potted plants were thrown from window sills, striking ponies below with clay pots. Windows rattled and shattered, sending razor sharp shards of glass into the street. Somewhere, a gas line burst from the pressure, sparking a fire that would ravage the town. The force of wind and debris that came after from the shock wave blew buildings off their foundations and crushed ponies against walls. Then the intense heat and light hit. Ponies were blinded and burned, shadows became a permanent part of the surroundings as the unshadowed area was bleached. The intensity of it set the surrounding fields and forests ablaze. Rainbow Dash slowed down, doing a flip before skidding to a stop in Ponyville's town square. She was promptly arrested and had several lawsuits filed against her, from many of the surviving townsponies, which was surprisingly few.
