//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: Elements of Shadow: Shadows Rise // by RainbowSkunk //------------------------------// "Finally the meeting is over!" Rainbow said to herself, flying around. She started flying right after the meeting. All the ponies in Ponyville came to watch. "Hey everypony, look at Rainbow go!" one called. "Perfect! A captive audience!" Rainbow said. She started to fly quicker and did bigger and more dangerous stunts. She finally flew up really high. "I bet she's going to do a sonic rainboom!" called a stallion. Rainbow looked down. She started to fly down. She got faster and faster. She then broke the sound barrier. The ponies watched in awe. "Sh-she's getting pretty close." the stallion said nervously. "Don't worry. She's just going to pull up st the last second." a mare said. Rainbow was coming closer and closer. She was very close now. The ponies kept watching. Suddenly, Rainbow crashed on them. "That was awesome!" Rainbow said, shaking of the blood on her hoof. "See you guys tomarow!" she walked away from the smoke. All the ponies died, their blood scattered on the streets. Rainbow slowly stood up. "What happened?" she asked herself. She heared something coming. She turned to see a shadow flying fast at her. Rainbow was hit by the shadow. "Hey!" she yelled. "Oh, Rainbow Dash. We meet." the shadow greeted. "Who are you? How do you know me?" Rainbow demanded. "I'm your shadow. You, like your friends, have been posessed by the shadow ponies." the shadow explained. Rainbow started flying at the shadow. The shadow dodged and kicked Rainbow. "Let me out of here!" Rainbow ordered. "Fool, you can't escape your mind. The shadow ponies will finally be noticed!" the shadow yelled. She laughed. Rainbow tried getting up, but her tail was pinned to the ground. The shadow stepped on Rainbow's head. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of you." the shadow said. Rainbow just glared. "I'll stop you!" she yelled.
