//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Soul Reaper // by cellum95 //------------------------------// "Who was that?" Rainbow Dash asked her friends when she tries to piece up the puzzles. "Well that was an old stallion Dashie. However, we don't know his name, but he is our mentor for our new powers." Pinkie replied. "What kind of powers? The one he used a while ago?" Rainbow Dash asked again. "Yes and no. That's one of our powers that we need to master. The others, we already mastered it." Twilight replied. "What kind of powers?" Rainbow Dash asked in sheer curiosity. Twilight, Pinkie and Octavia glanced at each other nervously, before Twilight answering: "Let us just move towards my library. Once there, we will answer that question." Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrow, but before she could gather another thought of asking, her friends disappeared, doing what the old stallion did a while ago. 'Well, it's time to stretch my wings again. I hope.' She sighed as she flew towards Twilight's home, the Golden Oaks Library. -Later- Rainbow Dash got to the point wherein she is now in the front door of the Golden Oaks Library. 'Well, it's better than nothing.' She thought as she entered the library. Waiting for her were the Soul Reaper Captains, Twilight, Pinkie and Octavia. "Hello Rainbow Dash." Twilight greeted with a smile. "Oh hi Twilight. So, what kind of powers do you three have?" Rainbow asked, repeating the same question. "The basic one, which of course the most harmless powers, is called Flash Step." Octavia replied. "A flash what?" "Flash Step. It is an ability wherein the pony user will go from one place to another, without using any magic." Pinkie explained with precise accuracy. Rainbow Dash couldn't believe her ears. An ability, in which only Twilight, Pinkie and Octavia have, will teleport anypony without using magic! "Could you show me?" Rainbow pleaded. With a sigh, Pinkie quickly vanishes, but reappearing beside Twilight. Rainbow now believes it is now true. "Are they are any other powers you girls have?" "Unfortunately, that's the only harmless ability we have. The rest, well you know now." Octavia replied. Rainbow Dash was depressed to know that they could only showcase the 'Flash Step'. "Aww. Oh well, thanks for showcasing your you-know-what." Rainbow Dash said. "It was nothing Dashie. Make sure don't spread the word okay?" Pinkie said. "Okay Pinkie. I wont forget!" Rainbow Dash shouted, and some moments later, she flew out towards her house, still having a smile when she could see something more awesome in her life. -Rainbow Dash's House- Rainbow Dash landed on her cloud house, which was grand, but on the inside, it was a total mess. She goes into her room, which was still the same despite the fact that Twilight, Pinkie and Octavia got there. However, she was still happy that her friends managed to showcase one of their powers to her. 'Well, at least I'm happy enough to say at least.' Rainbow Dash thought as she checks the horizon if it's day or night. Turns out, it was almost night, and she needs a good night sleep. However, a mysterious noise got her attention, from upstairs. 'Somepony is not gonna mess with me though.' She proudly thought as she goes upstairs to take a look to the mare or stallion that broke into her room. To her complete utter horror, it wasn't a normal pony. It was a very big one, and it's coat was white. The huge pony turns it's lifeless eyes towards her, and she could only do one thing. Scream. -Twilight's Library- "Well, it wasn't a huge deal does it?" Twilight asked her fellow Soul Reapers. "Well it was small actually. Getting Dashie to know one of out powers would endanger us." Pinkie said. "She's right Twilight. It could be dangerous to tell anypony about our powers." Octavia added. But before Twilight, a familiar scream caught the Soul Reapers attention. The scream belongs no other than.... 'Rainbow Dash!' Twilight screamed in her thoughts as she uses her Flash Step to go to her friends house. The two other Soul Reapers also followed Twilight, to rescue Rainbow Dash from possible danger. -Rainbow Dash's House- 'This is bad. This is gonna be the worst day ever!' Rainbow said in her thoughts as the massive pony goes into her, like a prey, slowly but surely. The massive pony is getting closer and closer, with the intention, in RD's guess, to kill or eat her. 'Well, it's nice knowing you girls.' She said as the massive pony got closer. However, something unexpected happens. Out of the blue, three normal sized mares come out, and when they turned their heads, it revealed the faces of Twilight, Pinkie and Octavia. "Hello Rainbow Dash. Not a moment to soon?" Twilight asked. "Yeah. And nice timing though." Rainbow Dash replied. With a grin on her face, Twilight look back at her opponent, with Pinkie and Octavia followed suit. "So..." Twilight began as she, with her two other companions, draws out their swords and pointed it at the massive pony. ".....what are you and what do you want?"
