Chapter 4

"Rainbow Dash?! What are you doing here?!" Twilight asked the cyan pegasus.

"Well I was just having my normal routine, and was having my flying low routine, when I saw you guys appearing out of nowhere. I tried to spy on you girls when I saw that guys doing something so awesome." Rainbow Dash replied.

"You know it's rude your just barge in spying on us." Octavia said.

"Awww...It was awesome anyways. I must tell everypony!" The mares wide-eyed in shock, and in desperation to stop Rainbow Dash from spreading the word, they draw out their swords.

"Whoa there. Why do you have swords?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"It doesn't matter Dashie. Now, just sit tight or face the consequences of spreading this kind of information." Pinkie said in a threatening voice.

"And if I don't?" Rainbow was asking, but her question was like mock. In an instant, Pinkie uses her Flash Step to get behind Rainbow Dash, who was surprised of what happened. Pinkie got her sword, mere inches away from Dash's throat.

"I will make sure you will not live that long." Pinkie replied. Her reply was plain and cold, and this brought shivers down Rainbow Dash's spine.

"O...Okay. I will not leak out any information about this." Rainbow Dash said.

"Pinkie Promise?" Pinkie asked.

"Pinkie Promise." And with that two-word reply, Pinkie let go of Rainbow Dash, who was still traumatized of what happened.

"What are we gonna do with her?" Octavia asked.

"She's still awake, but still shaken. We need to get her back home before we could continue." Twilight replied. However, they knew Rainbow Dash could hear what they are saying. However, they will have to take the risk, so they decided to take her back to her home. When they took her, the stallion asked:

"What are you gonna do with her?"

"We will just bring her back home." Twilight replied. And with that, using Flash Step, they brought back Rainbow Dash to her home.

-Rainbow Dash's Home-

Rainbow Dash's home was in a cloud, wherein it's very grand in it's very own rights. Rainbow Dash opened her eyes when she slept a few minutes ago.

'What happened?' She asked herself in her thoughts as she placed a hoof at her head. Suddenly, that piece of memory plagued her mind. An old stallion doing something awesome, seeing her friends in some weird clothes, and Pinkie threatening her.

'It's....No, it's just a nightmare.' She thought.

"Good, your awake." An anonymous voice said. Rainbow Dash scanned her room, hoping to see who said that sentence. When she saw it, she was completely lost. In a corner is Twilight, and her two companions, Pinkie and Octavia.

"We we're wondering when you would wake up." Pinkie said. Rainbow Dash was uncertain what she would say, but with determination, she said:

"WHAT THE BUCK ARE YOU?!"

"Pardon?" Octavia asked.

"What happened to my friends?!"

"We are your friends Dashie. It's just that we have changed a bit." Pinkie replied.

"A bit?" Without any words, the three mares just come out of their position and revealed themselves. They were wearing black and white robes, the same ones when Dash spied on them.

"Oh."

"I'm sorry if I said threatened you Dashie. We were just scared that you will just inform everypony what you saw." Pinkie said with guilt. Come to think about it, Pinkie DID threatened her with her sword, mere inches away from her throat. She trotted towards Pinkie and said:

"I forgave you Pinkie."

"You will?"

"Yeah. I mean, it is my fault just to sneak up to you guys and just introduce myself saying.....you know, stuff." Rainbow Dash said with an assuring smile. Pinkie immediately had shove off the guilt and hug Rainbow Dash.

"Thank you Dashie." She said.

"Don't you mention it Pinkie. Now, what I saw is a....spell isn't it?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"It was a spell, but I'm not sure what kind of spell is it." Twilight replied.

"You obviously don't know it yet." An anonymous voice said. They scanned the room, finding the old stallion.

"How did you here?" Octavia asked.

"You know it." The stallion replied with a chuckle. The three mares pondered for a moment, before replying with an 'oh' to their mouths.

"Then why are you here?" Twilight asked.

"Simple, I'm just gonna visit your friend here. But, if your asking what kind of spell was that, it was a binding spell." The old stallion replied.

"What's a binding spell?" Pinkie asked.

"A binding spell is a kind of kido spell wherein you 'bind' one pony to restrict them or trap them in a single place. Now, if there are no more delays, could I teach you girls the binding spell?" The stallion asked.

"Not for the moment. Maybe sometime. Right now, Rainbow Dash must recover of what happened a while ago." Twilight replied.

"I understand that. I do hope you do something useful with your powers." The stallion said, and in an instant, he vanished, leaving the three Soul Reapers and Rainbow Dash, who was dumbfounded.
