//------------------------------// // The Fight // Story: The Race for the Missing Powers // by Rainbow Dash 55 //------------------------------// When Spitfire opened the cell door, they were ready. Rainbow was the first to react. She bolted out the door, only to be collided with Misty Fly. They wrestled, and Misty tried to use airbending to fight her. Soarin and Twilight tackled Spitfire. She easily kicked Twilight off of her, and while Soarin took a milli-second to debate whether or not he should help her, Spitfire used that moment to gather up all of her strength, and electricute him. Rainbow screamed, and was about to kill her, but she was, like Soarin, a milli-second too late. Misty Fly airbended a cell bar. It broke, and she picked it up, and whacked it at Rainbow's head as if she was the ball, and the bar was the bat. The last thing Rainbow saw was Spitfire, smiling evilly at her. Rainbow Dash woke with a horrible throbbing pain at the back of her head. She looked up, but her vision was blurry, and she could see that all of her hooves were bound to a wall, using a strong kind of metal. She tried to break free, but the cuffs wouldn't budge. Then, she looked across the small room, and saw Soarin, chained to a metal pole, unconcious. She then saw Twilight in the same form, only she was chained to a pole away from Soarin. Rainbow was blinded by a door that opened into the dim room, and she wasn't completely surprised to see High Winds, the kindest member of the Wonderbolts. She flipped on a light switch, lighting up the whole room. She was pushing a cart that held a buffet of delicious food. "High Winds," Rainbow greeted her. She didn't smile, however. She jumped. "Oh, Rainbow Dash! You startled me!" Rainbow kept looking at her. "So, are you alright? You don't look so good." Rainbow scowled at her. "Yeah, I guess being beat almost to death could affect my appearance." High Winds frowned, then looked as if she was about to cry. "Oh, Rainbow, I'm so sorry. I didn't want any of this to happen." "Then why did you help?!" "I HAD to! Spitfire said that, if I didn't, she would kill me. And my boyfriend." She looked down, then remembered why she was there. "I brought you something. Well, a lot of something, anyway." She walked an omlet over to Rainbow, who sniffed it. "Did Spitfire tell you to give that to me?" "Actually, no. She doesn't know I brought anything. She'll be back soon, though." She cut a piece off, then put it in Rainbow's mouth. She repeated this several times, until the omlet was gone. "Well, I'd better get going. Spitfire can't know I was here." "High Winds?" "Yes?" "Thanks." "For what?" "For your hospitality. If I make it through this, I'll pay you back. I promise." High Winds smiled, knowing that Rainbow Dash always kept her word. No matter what. "Thank you, Rainbow. I wish I could do more." And with that, she left the room.
