The first few hours of the train ride were spent in silence, mostly because the mane six still didn't trust me. "How about we introduce ourselves, what do you think?" Twilight asked me
"Fine, I guess that if I have to spent more time with you I better know your names" I replied
"Good, who wants to start?" She asked us "mememe!" Pinkie said with a slightly forced smile
Upon twilight nodding she started "well I'm Pinkie Pie and my special talent is making ponies smile!" She practically yelled "I'm Rarity and my special talent is finding gems and implementing them in fashion" Rarity said calmly "I'm... Fluttershy and my talent is talking to animals" Fluttershy whispered "Cool, talking to animals" I said, upon that Fluttershy's mood brightened a little.
"Ah'm Applejack and my talent is apple farmin" Applejack said. "I'm Rainbow Dash and my talent is racing and speed" Rainbow said in a voice that just dripped with ego. "My name is Twilight Sparkle and my talent is magic in general" Twilight said, after that the six looked expectantly at me
"Fine" I grumbled. "My name is Overkill and my talent is saving ponies and beating bad guys with massive overkill" I said. "You saving ponies? Then why did you strangle pinkie and made us think you bit my hoof" Rainbow said "Like I already said if you save everybody but earn the title monster because your different, you become cruel" I said. "I thought you would know that by now, you are supposed to be the fastest Pegasus right?" I asked with a smirk on my face. "Well duh I am the only Pegasus to ever do the sonic Rainboom!" Rainbow said with a smirk of her own. 
"Wrong" I stated matter of factly. "What do you mean wrong, no one is as fast as me!" She said
"I am, I'm even faster then you" I said calmly, "Twilight how long would it take Rainbow to get to Canterlot from here?" I asked "about twenty minutes why?" Twilight said "okay now how long until the train is there?" I asked "an hour or so." A smirk came to my face "tell you what I'll race you there" I said to Rainbow "you're on!" Rainbow said thinking this would be an easy win. "Okay then, see you on the roof" I said jumping out of the window and flying to the roof. A minute or so later Rainbow and Twilight flew up to meet me. "You ready" I asked Rainbow "you're gonna lose" she said, her voice practically dripping with venom. "Rrrriiight" I said with disbelief as she landed next to me. "3....2....1....GO!!!" Twilight yelled at the top of her lungs. As soon as we heard go Dash and me blasted of towards Canterlot. 

I gotta say she was pretty fast... but not fast enough, with that thought in mind I shifted my body so that my front legs melted together in a sharp tip cutting the air in front of me, my back legs did the same my head became more angular and fit perfectly in between my front legs. I was now as aerodynamic as can be and it showed as I blasted past Dash who had gotten a lead on me when I shifted. "What the!?" Rainbow said before pushing even harder. Before long I reached the sound barrier and it was pushing me back, I continued pushing but not hard enough to actually break the barrier. 'Come on just a little harder' Dash thought 'almost.... almost' BOOM!!!! As soon as I heard that bang and saw Dash well dash past me I pushed through the barrier myself, BANG!!!! 
I looked behind me and saw my own Rainboom, a black and red circle was making its way outward from where I pushed trough, and a black and red line was being left behind as I whipped past Dash, you should have seen the look on her face priceless! 
The rest of the race was pretty one sided, I then saw the train station which we agreed to be the finish I made one final push and.... I won. "How... did... you do... a... Rainboom" Dash said in-between pants once she arrived. "I can be superior to anyone if I want to" I stated simply 

45 minutes later 
"Ah finally the train is here" I said once I saw the train approach the station. "Finally!" Dash said. "So who won?" Pinkie asked excitedly once she and the rest if the girls left the train. "I did" I said, but once I saw Rainbow's sad expression I quickly added, "But don't worry I won't brag about it or tell anyone besides us seven" I said "oh thank you thank you thank you!!" Dash said giving me a hug "you don't know how much this means to me!" Upon the sudden show of affection I ALMOST grew spikes all over my body but was able to suppress the battle hardened reflex, "don't worry about it, I meant to prove a point, not steal your title" I said patting her on the back "now could you let me go, you're a little too close for comfort" I asked "Right" Dash said letting me go.
"Okay, let's get to the castle" Twilight said, more then amused, we then started making our way to the castle. While we were walking trough town I noticed the mane six weren't walking so far away from me as they usually do. When we got to the castle we immediately went for the throne room 
"Twilight my most faithful student, I see you all got here safe and sound" Celestia said once the doors to the throne room opened "and you have brought... I'm sorry but you forgot to introduce yourself the last time we met" she said motioning to me "I'm Overkill" I said "well overkill I would really like to get to know you better but I'm sure we're all tired so I think we'll hold introductions for tomorrow" once she said that the mane six left to their rooms "and you" she said before I left the room. I turned around, "I got my eyes on you" she said with a glare that could kill a cockatrice "I'll see you tomorrow" I said with a smirk before going to my room and then going to bed
